Central Park
Central Park is an urban park in the New York City borough of Manhattan. It was initially opened in 1857, on 778 acres (315 ha) of city-owned land (it is 843 acres today). In 1858, Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux won a design competition to improve and expand the park with a plan they titled the Greensward Plan. Construction began the same year, continued during the American Civil War, and was completed in 1873. Central Park is the most visited urban park in the United States.
Designated a National Historic Landmark in 1962, the park is currently managed by the Central Park Conservancy under contract with the city government. The Conservancy is a non-profit organization that contributes 83.5% of Central Park's $37.5 million annual budget and employs 80.7% of the park's maintenance staff.

Long Island Piney Power show: September Suprises at Peconic Bog
The first suprise was the sunshine, originally weather forecasts called for plenty of clouds, but the stalled front moved farther offshore, giving us nice clear blue skies. On this hike I talk about the pressure overdevelopment have put on the Pine Barrens. Both politicians and environmental groups have failed to properly preserve enough of the Pine Barrens, to have a healthy ecosystem remain intact, this is a particular problem with wildfires, which promote Pitch Pine development, but are often put out because of developments nearby. The other problem is water pollution, which you can see is making the Peconic River murky. And sadly, the out of control development continues in this area. But despite these problems, this is still a nice area to walk, where there's lots of Pitch Pines. There's also wildflowers and lichens here. The other suprise was the lizard I saw, which may have been a Fence Lizard. My camera was once again having problems focusing on the flowers, but hopefully you got a chance to see the Stiff Leaved Asters and Goldenrods growing here. This is the same preserve I have seen Blue Eyed Grass growing in the early Summer, a species I thought only existed in the Southern New Jersey Pine Barrens.
Dispersal Headings - Controversial Solution for New York-New Jersey-Philadelphia Airspace Redesign
Courtesy FAA
The ATO implemented the first steps of its New York-New Jersey-Philadelphia Airspace Redesign Wednesday, and, as a result, the air corridor out of New York looks a bit less like the Holland Tunnel.
Under the first changes, during periods of peak demand controllers at Newark Liberty International Airport, Philadelphia International Airport and John F. Kennedy International Airport will be able to instruct planes to fan out after takeoff toward divergent points in the sky rather than following each other to a single navigational heading.
These new takeoff patterns will allow aircraft to fan out after take off and provide more options for aircraft waiting to depart, said Transportation Secretary Mary Peters, who announced various measures to reduce New York-area congestion at the FAA Command Center in Herndon, Va. today.
These dispersal headings will reduce the time planes have to wait before taking off and cut delays on some of New York, New Jersey and Philadelphia's crowded runways, according to Steve Kelley, the ATO's manager of the airspace redesign.
Currently, planes leaving Newark, Philadelphia and Kennedy have to wait for the aircraft departing ahead of them to fly at least three miles before they can take off. That wait is often a minute long.
That may not sound like much time, but if 30 planes are waiting to depart, a minute between each takeoff can quickly grow into half an hour or more of delay. That kind of slow down can cascade into multiple delays — both in the New York region and at connecting airports throughout the country.
With the new dispersal headings, planes will be able to take off with less time in between them. That's because more of the required separation will be achieved laterally rather than only with longitudinal separation — the distance between two planes following the same path. Longitudinal separation is the only means of separation available when aircraft can only take off toward a single point in the sky.
The dispersal headings will be implemented for runway 27L and 27R at Philadelphia, runways 22L and 22R at Newark, and runways 22L and 22R at JFK. Those runways are used for departures when the airports are operating under their most common runway configurations.
Since the headings have the potential to increase noise for the communities around Newark and Philadelphia, they will be used only when demand exceeds a runway's capacity, Kelley says.
We're cautioning everybody to do this very judiciously, he said. Traffic management units will look at the next hour's departure demand and make the call. Or they can use the headings sporadically to keep planes from waiting needlessly.
At Newark, the new procedures will help efficiency and also save the airlines money in two additional ways — cutting flight distance and increasing the rate of climb for departures.
When planes depart Newark on runways 22L and 22R on a single heading, they turn south, fly over Staten Island, and then turn back west towards their destination. Kelley estimates that left turn adds two miles to each plane's flight path. Multiply two miles by the millions of flights that have followed the route since its implementation in the 1960s, and it's easy to see how the airlines can save money using the more direct routes made possible by the dispersal headings.
That shift over Staten Island also brings Newark's departures too close for lateral separation with LaGuardia's arrivals, which fly up the eastern bank of the Hudson. Since the planes can't be spaced laterally, flights headed out of Newark have to fly below 2,500 feet, while planes bound for LaGuardia have to maintain at least 3,500 feet of altitude to ensure there's no conflict.
Since Newark's new departure headings push everything west, the 2,500-foot ceiling is no longer necessary, and its departures will be able to climb faster, saving airlines fuel and money.
For future implementation we can adjust the elements that best provide operational benefits, Kelley said. We're prioritizing the changes based on the demands of the industry.
The headings have been a contentious issue for area residents, who fear that the changes will bring more planes over their houses and more noise into their lives. Some people believe we had already made the changes, Kelley said. But really there are just a lot more airplanes now than there were two or three years ago.
During periods of normal demand, the current departure procedures will continue to be used.
Once pilots and controllers become familiar with the dispersal headings, the next stage of the airspace redesign will begin. That will involve improvements at altitudes above 18,000 feet, where new transition points will be created for flights moving between TRACON and en route airspace.

SUMMARY
=======
San Antonio (; from Spanish, Saint Anthony), officially the City of San Antonio, has more than 1.5 million residents. It is the seventh-most populous city in the United States, and the second-most populous city in both Texas and the Southern United States. Founded as a Spanish mission and colonial outpost in 1718, the city became the first chartered civil settlement in present-day Texas in 1731. The area was still part of the Spanish Empire, and later of the Mexican Republic. Today it is the state's oldest municipality.The city's deep history is contrasted with its rapid recent growth during the past few decades: it was the fastest-growing of the top ten largest cities in the United States from 2000 to 2010, and the second from 1990 to 2000. Straddling the regional divide between South and Central Texas, San Antonio anchors the southwestern corner of an urban megaregion colloquially known as the Texas Triangle.
San Antonio serves as the seat of Bexar County; recent annexations have extended the city's boundaries into Medina County and, for a tiny area near the city of Garden Ridge, into Comal County. Since San Antonio was founded during the Spanish Colonial Era, it has a church (San Fernando Cathedral) in its center, on the main civic plaza in front, a characteristic of many Spanish-founded cities, towns, and villages in Spain and Latin America. As with many other urban centers in the Southwestern United States, areas outside the city limits are sparsely populated.
San Antonio is the center of the San Antonio–New Braunfels metropolitan statistical area. Commonly called Greater San Antonio, the metro area has a population of 2,473,974 based on the 2017 U.S. census estimate, making it the 24th-largest metropolitan area in the United States and third-largest in Texas. Growth along the Interstate 35 and Interstate 10 corridors to the north, west and east make it likely that the metropolitan area will continue to expand.
San Antonio was named by a 1691 Spanish expedition for Saint Anthony of Padua, whose feast day is June 13. The city contains five 18th-century Spanish frontier missions, including The Alamo and San Antonio Missions National Historical Park, which together were designated UNESCO World Heritage sites in 2015. Other notable attractions include the River Walk, the Tower of the Americas, SeaWorld, the Alamo Bowl, and Marriage Island. Commercial entertainment includes Six Flags Fiesta Texas and Morgan's Wonderland amusement parks. According to the San Antonio Convention and Visitors Bureau, the city is visited by about 32 million tourists a year. It is hom ...

Central Park is an urban park in Manhattan, New York City, located between the Upper West Side and the Upper East Side. Central Park is the most visited urban park in the United States, with an estimated 37.5–38 million visitors annually, and one of the most filmed locations in the world. In terms of area, Central Park is the fifth largest park in New York City, covering 843 acres (3.41 km2).
Central Park was first approved in 1853 as a 778-acre (3.15 km2) park. In 1857, landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted and architect/landscape designer Calvert Vaux won a design competition to construct the park with a plan they titled the Greensward Plan. Construction began the same year, and the park's first areas were opened to the public in late 1858. Additional land at the northern end of Central Park was purchased in 1859, and the park was completed in 1876. After a period of decline in the early 20th century, New York City parks commissioner Robert Moses started a program to clean up Central Park. Another decline in the late 20th century spurred the creation of the Central Park Conservancy in 1980, which refurbished many parts of the park during the 1980s and 1990s.
Main attractions of the park include landscapes such as the Ramble and Lake, Hallett Nature Sanctuary, the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir, and Sheep Meadow; amusement attractions such as Wollman Rink, Central Park Carousel, and the Central Park Zoo; formal spaces such as the Central Park Mall and Bethesda Terrace; and the Delacorte Theater, which hosts Shakespeare in the Park programs in the summertime. The park also has sports facilities, including the North Meadow Recreation Center, basketball courts, baseball fields, and soccer fields.
Central Park was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1963 and as a New York City scenic landmark in 1974. The park is owned by New York City Department of Parks and Recreation (NYC Parks), but has been managed by the Central Park Conservancy since 1998, under contract with the municipal government in a public-private partnership. The Conservancy, a non-profit organization, contributes 75 percent of Central Park's $65 million annual budget and is responsible for all basic care of the park.
Collaborative Efforts to Model Great Lakes Oil Spills -- June 2019 webinar
This webinar was originally aired on June 26, 2019 by Michigan Sea Grant and the Great Lakes Sea Grant Crude Oil Transport Network. The topic, Collaborative efforts to model potential oil spills in the Great Lakes, was presented by Dr. Guy Meadows. Dr. Meadows directs the Great Lakes Research Center at Michigan Technological University.
The movement of crude oil through the Great Lakes basin and other critical northern watersheds presents a complex suite of opportunities and risks for the region. In partnership with the Great Lakes Commission and International Joint Commission, a network of Sea Grant professionals from throughout the Great Lakes region have assembled to provide stakeholders with risk-related resources on economic and environmental issues associated with transportation of crude oil in the Great Lakes basin and to create a forum to share knowledge, concerns, challenges, and progress.
The Crude Oil Transport webinar series is meant to provide the latest research and resources to stakeholders in the region to inform decision-making around this complex issue. Anyone with a vested interest in how crude oil and associated products move throughout the region will find the content informative.
