Description: The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) is proposing to address the existing structural, geometric, and operational deficiencies of a 3.75 mile section of Interstate 81 in the City of Syracuse. NYSDOT is also investigating modifications along a 2.5 mile segment of Interstate 690 and potential improvements on Interstate 481 (I-481). When the project's Scoping Report was published in April 2015, NYSDOT advanced a No Build Alternative; a Viaduct Alternative; and a Community Grid Alternative for further study in the Draft Environmental Impact State. The No Build Alternative serves as a baseline condition against which the potential benefits and effects of the build alternatives are evaluated. The Viaduct Alternative would replace the existing I-81 viaduct with a new viaduct that meets the latest engineering design standards and reconstruct I-81 and I-690. The Community Grid Alternative would involve demolition of the existing viaduct. The section of I-81 between the southern I-81/I-481 interchange and the I-81/I-690 interchange in Downtown Syracuse would be de-designated as an interstate, and I-481 would be re-designated as the new I-81. The Community Grid Alternative would disperse traffic throughout the city grid by promoting broader use of the existing street network. In addition, NYSDOT is also performing an independent feasibility study of the I-81 viaduct to examine other options such as a tunnel or depressed highway. The I-81 Viaduct project is one of the largest single transportation projects that DOT has ever had to address.

Colleges and Universities across the country are increasing their standards for sustainability in construction. At Towson University, all new construction products since 2007 are considered environmentally stable according to the Towson University sustainability site.
This increase is due to the policies set forth by the United States Green Building Council, a non-profit organization that promotes sustainability in the construction and design of buildings. Through the USGBC, the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system was created, which verifies is a building is environmentally sustainable.
Towson University, aside from its new construction, has two LEED Gold certified buildings. These buildings, West Village Commons and the SECU arena, are the most sustainable among the university's five other LEED Silver certified buildings. Each building contains water-efficient fixtures, recycling, environmental landscaping, and green roofs that reduce carbon dioxide emitted according to the site.
Towson University isn't the only campus pushing for environmental sustainability. At MIT, their Sloan School of Management building has the highest energy performance possible according to the MIT energy initiative site.

"We tried hard, and I think succeeded, to get a building where the sustainability is baked in," Walter Henry, director of the Systems Engineering Group in the Department of Facilities, told the site. "It isn't the frosting but a fundamental part of how we designed the building."
Cost is one of the biggest questions when colleges consider building green. But according to the MIT site, the design team found that constructing the Sloan building with energy-efficient features did not have any additional expense and instead saved MIT money.
Environmental construction has many benefits besides saving colleges money. Studies show that the presence of improved sustainable lighting have a 27% reduction of headaches on the people who occupy the building according to Wow.com. The decrease of headaches leads to a higher level of academic achievement according to the site.
Through sustainable construction, college campuses will have benefits that exceed simple monetary spending. As green building increases its presence, many hope that the push for green building will extend beyond the campus and to the community.

The Real Food Challenge chapter at Towson University hosted a dinner while discussing on campus food sustainability with students, last Wednesday. The dinner, which had been prepared for three days prior to the event, was 100 percent vegan and zero percent waste which embodies the goal of the Real Food Challenge.
Real Food Challenge is a national campaign with the goal of uniting students across campuses to rally for ethically sound and sustainable food. They hope to empower college students and universities to create healthy, sound and green food systems within their campuses. They hope to reallocate $1 billion of existing university food budgets from industrial farms towards local and community-based food sources by 2020.
"We have the power now to make a positive and active change," Haley Molnar, a member of the Real Food Chapter at Towson University, said.
Before the dinner, a panel discussed food sustainability with students and debated several issues within university food sources. Their main focus was discussing how Towson University can become more sustainable.
"It's all about the ways you individually reduce waste," Evan Lutz, the CEO and co-founder of Hungry Harvest, said. The Hungry Harvest is a company that takes surplus produce and delivers it to customers to promote food security. "It takes a lot of collaboration with urban farming and farmer's markets."
Several on the panel agreed that farmer's markets are an excellent way for students to buy locally, including Ned Atwater, the owner of the bakery Atwater's that sells organic and local ingredients.
Unanimously, the panel agreed that awareness and empowerment are the two greatest sources in achieving food sustainability on campuses.
"The biggest problem on college campuses is that we're not aware, and changing the viewpoint so people become knowledgeable is the main goal," Clarissa Chen, a student at Johns Hopkins University and part of their Real Food Challenge team, said. "I think in terms of getting a college to change is a change in policy, and this change shows how much power universities have in the food market and system."
After the panel discussion, students were served a vegan dinner with options that also included gluten-free meals. A ratatouille dish was served, as well as soup, salad, mango cake and bread provided by Atwater's. The dinner served over 30 students, and produced zero percent waste including the silverware and dishes.
"We should all feel empowered to have a real say in the food system," Allison Boyd said, the coordinator for the Farm Alliance in Baltimore City. The alliance increases urban farming and access to urban grown foods.
"Make shifts in supply through shifts in your demands by voting with your dollars," Boyd said. "The more you know, the more you can change."

Weeks prior to the Paris Climate Change Conference, 218 campuses nationally pledged to support climate action and increase campus sustainability.
These colleges, representing over 3 million students and spanning over 40 states, signed the American Campuses Act on Climate Pledge to show their support of climate action by world leaders and President Barack Obama in Paris during the COP 21. These institutions have also pledged to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, incorporate environmental action into academic curriculum and become carbon neutral within the next decades according to the White House press release.
Several colleges in Maryland, including Towson University and Johns Hopkins University have already begun taking the necessary steps towards promoting climate action.
"It was a very fast-moving process, so it's exciting that President Daniels took the time to review the pledge and ensure that we added our voices to the national-and global-conversation," said Ashley Pennington, Program Manager for the JHU Office of Sustainability to Hub.
Johns Hopkins' main initiatives are to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 51 percent by 2025, foster sustainability education programs, conduct research on the impact of climate change and sustainability, and many more. Several student groups on campus have also signed similar pledges for sustainability and efficiency.
Towson University has taken similar steps to promote sustainability across their campus of more than 20,000 students. Towson University has invested $8 million in installing new lighting fixtures to reduce energy costs, and reduced their consumption of energy by 30 percent and have an annual savings of $26,000 in transformers according to the Towson University Office of Sustainability.
The pledge for sustainability across college campuses is a progressive new advancement in the fight for climate action, inspiring the next generation to continue making strives in education paired with environmental awareness and sustainability.
Voters in South Carolina and Nevada turn out to vote in the primary
In South Carolina and Nevada, voters line up to vote for their prospective candidates, with each party having several decisions to make on who will receive their vote.
Despite the voting having merely begun, Donald Trump is already expected to win the primary in South Carolina, according to the Washington Post. While Trump is expected hold the lead, the race of the final four will be determined by this election, and either Gov. John Kasich or Gov. Jeb Bush will be pushed out of the race.
"For all practical purposes, there's no path forward for Governor Bush," Katich's chief strategist John Weaver told the New York Times. "We've already won there, at least in my sense, because however we do, it's going to help drive somebody else out of the race" referring to Bush.
Tim Miller, a spokesman for Bush responded that Kasich is "running a zombie campaign that only exists in three states in the hopes that he can gain some cache in the vice-presidential sweepstakes" to the New York Times.
While the race between five candidates in the Republican Party continue, it is down to two in the Democratic Party, with the stakes high for both Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders. According to the Democratic Nevada Caucus, Clinton is in the lead with 51.76%, but by only a margin of 3.6% compared to Sanders' 48.16%.
Nevada was expected to be an easy win for Clinton according to USA Today, but her lead has decreased significantly within the past couple weeks, and Sanders' campaign is feeling the momentum of a Nevada win already.
Minority votes are expected to be the key factor in who will win Nevada for democrats. According to an Edison Research entrance poll, Sanders holds the lead over Hispanic voters and white voters. Clinton still holds the lead over non-white voters, but only by less than 10 percent.
As polls, reports, and votes keep pouring in, it is expected to be a tight race on both sides of the primary election.
Towson University Grad has Passion for Helping Children of the World

Angie Hong has always known that her passion lay in helping others around the world.
So it came as no surprise to family and friends when the 23-year-old Baltimore native went to Uganda after college and helped reunite children in an orphanage there with their biological parents and relatives.
"I've always had an interest in living in a community in the developing world and serving alongside them," Hong said. "We ran the first successful transition for children from orphanages to families in Uganda."
Hong was able to help find the families through the children, who explained where they came from and where their biological families were, and the help of local people.
"It is important to take notes and listen to every little detail and thing that was being said by the Ugandans I was working with at the time," said Hong, who graduated from Towson with a degree in philosophy. "I want to be clear that no decision was made on my own. We listened first." Continue reading "Towson University Grad has Passion for Helping Children of the World" →

Helping Honduras 2014
On August 28, 2014 February 17, 2016 By Theresa SchemppIn UncategorizedLeave a comment
A school bus scorched down the dirt road in San Pedro Sula on a stifling hot July day. Dust choked the exhaust as it rumbled through the city. Motorbikes and cars sped by, narrowly passing between the shoulder and the bus. Inside the bus' open and dusty windows, twelve other people and I looked out at the scenery. We were on our way to El Progreso, a small town just outside the city, where we would be staying for the next week.
I'd visited Honduras only once, in January. As a member of Students Helping Honduras, I spent the week helping construct a library by shoveling cement, laying the bricks for the wall, and meeting and playing with all the kids. In that week's time, I experienced a sense of happiness and belonging that I'd never felt before. I bonded with the kids, and promised myself that I would come back as soon as I could. In May, I received a call from my SHH Chapter president asking me to come down in July for Leadership Week. I quickly accepted and then counted down the days until I would see my kids again.

McKinney Fire Station #11
View larger photo. Photo description: McKinney Fire Station #11
Built to serve and protect in McKinney, Texas
A community growing as fast as McKinney, Texas, features several exciting amenities, from dining and retail options to new housing and outdoor spaces.
With that growth, however, comes an increased need for additional public safety services, particularly in the areas of police, medical, and fire. Serving the community and protecting its people was the spirit behind the construction of Fire Station #11 in the Craig Ranch area of McKinney.
The $8.1M, 16,000 SF facility features three bays with doors on the front and back, eight individual dorms, and two captain dorms. It also includes locker rooms, a training tower, and a weight room.
There are also "Rip and Run" corridors around the interior of the dorm rooms. Put all together, this new fire station allows the fire crew to train right at home.
The station features a masonry exterior facade with metal panel champagne, natural stone, and limestone panels for a natural finish. Inside, the temp acoustical and wood-like ceilings give the station a natural feel. It also features a natural wood stain millwork chair railing at the corridors and cased openings. The millwork custom lockers also give the station of sense of "home" for the crew.
Construction on the station began in November 2020, was delayed a bit due to harsh winter weather in early 2021, and was completed in February 2022. And, despite supply and price challenges brought on by Covid, we completed the project on budget.
Project Facts
Industry Sector: Civic
Cost: $8,181,459
Size: 15,950 SF
Delivery Method: Construction Management
Owner: City of McKinney
Architect: Conduit architecture and design LLC
McKinney Fire Chief Danny Kistner said: "Station 11 helps the McKinney Fire Department keep pace with the city's phenomenal growth. Ultimately, it is all about serving and protecting the community and the strategic placement of this new fire station will better enable us to do that."

Interviews / Meet Me In New York
Meet Me In New York: Jono Zalay
by Sean L. McCarthy November 3, 2015
What do they say about New York City: There are eight million stories, and sometimes it seems as though eight million of the people telling them think they're comedians? No, that's not it. It is a fact, though, that America's biggest city is also its biggest comedy mecca. Hollywood may be Hollywood, but New York City is where comedians are born funny, become funny or arrive to thrust their funny upon us. I think we should meet some of these people. This is a recurring feature, a mini-profile of newcomers, up-and-comers and overcomers of New York's vibrant comedy scene. It's called Meet Me In New York.
Some comedians do all of the cocaine. They're mostly dead now. Rare is the comedian who gives cocaine to mice to study the effect it has on their tiny brains and whether they can be weaned off the drug. Such is, or was the life of Jono Zalay, who had a Ph.d in neuroscience before ditching that career cold turkey in exchange for nights and weekends in comedy clubs as a stand-up comedian. He made the semifinals of last year's March Comedy Madness at Caroline's on Broadway and this year's Laughing Skull Festival in Atlanta, and has just produced his debut comedy album, "Snake Oil," via Comedy Dynamics. Spoiler alert: Zalay's still interested in science, and his comedy/science podcast with Joe Zimmerman and Raj Sivaraman, Universe City, celebrates its first anniversary this weekend. He also headlines Caroline's tonight to celebrate his CD release.
Let's get inside Jono's head and see what makes him tick!
Name: Jono Zalay
Arrival date: July 2, 2012
Arrived from: Boston
When and where did you start performing comedy? "Early 2005, at the La Jolla Comedy Store, which was the only club in San Diego at the time."
What was your best credit before moving here? "Probably Bridgetown Festival. And just the total amount of festivals I'd done by then: around 15 between 2010-2012. I googled "comedy festivals" and just applied to all of them. Must have had a good tape in 2010."
Why did you pick NYC over LA or anywhere else? "I actually had a postdoctoral fellowship lined up in LA. But by the time I got my Ph.D I didn't want to waste anymore time with comedy being a secondary career. Plus I have no ambition for acting, so I wanted to go where the best stand-ups are, which is New York."
How long did it take to get your first paid gig in NYC after moving here? "Just checked my spreadsheet: Month and a half. And occasionally I would even get paid in future months."
How is this scene better/same/worse than the scene you moved from? "Everything is bigger and more amplified. So the best shows and clubs in New York are the best in the world, and the bad shows will drag your soul onto the subway tracks like so many pizza rats. The camaraderie is probably about the same. You have your people and you say "good set" to each other a lot."
Can you describe an "only in New York City" moment from your experience here? "Right after Hurricane Sandy, when the power was still out in lower Manhattan, a group of comics put on a show at a hotel in Washington Square Park. We took the train until about Midtown and had to hoof it the rest of the way between pitch-black skyscrapers. Some comics brought food, I brought flashlights to help light the room. Most of the crowd were tourists that had come for the NYC Marathon. After the show we were walking back through Chelsea and saw Lucy Liu abandon her building and hop into a black SUV."
What tip would you give to any comedian who moves here? "Come here with twice the amount of money you thought you'd need. And get a flexible side job quickly. The comedy stuff can be figured out. There are many paths in comedy. But the quickest path out of town comes from running out of money and friends' couches."
Where do you see yourself five years from now? "I'll probably cave and move to LA. I'm from Southern California so I figure I'll end up there. And by then I will hopefully eeked my way onto the writing staff of a low budget web series about skateboarders working in a cupcake factory."
See Jono Zalay headline Caroline's on Broadway tonight as part of the club's "Breakout Artist Series," then on Friday celebrate the anniversary of his Universe City podcast at The Creek and The Cave in Long Island City.
His first comedy album, "Snake Oil," was released last week via iTunes, Amazon and other venues:

From the dramatic to the just plain weird, here's a look at some Tour moments fans wanted to watch over and over again
By whit yost
One of the most heartbreaking moments of the Tour: Cav's early departure after a hard crash on Stage 1. (James Startt)
Cavendish Is Falling Down
Instead of winning Stage 1 and the yellow jersey in front of the Royal Family, Omega Pharma–Quick-Step's Mark Cavendish crashed while sprinting to the finish line. It was an embarrassing early exit for the British star.
Aren't You Glad You Use Dial?
Vincenzo Nibali broke quite a sweat while winning Stage 2 in Sheffield. Unfortunately, at least one Tour podium hostess noticed it, too.
Froome Goes Boom
This was not a good year to be a former Tour champion. Here Team Sky's Chris Froome goes down in the first of a series of three crashes that sent the defending champ home early.
Cameras: A Rider's-Eye View
This year's Tour was the in which on-bike cameras were used to give fans a better view of the action. Here's Cannondale's Peter Sagan weaving his way through the pack on his way to another green jersey.

The solubility of CO2 in liquid glycerol was measured at the temperatures of 353.2 K, 393.2 K and 423.2 K, and pressures up to 32 MPa. The static synthetic method was used in a variable-volume view cell. The solubility of CO2 in glycerol was enhanced by pressure increase and by temperature decrease. When compared with reported values for alcohols with the same chain length, the solubility increased in the following order: glycerol <1,2-propylene glycol < 1-propanol < 2-propanol.

Burnett North, 23, was arrested Saturday and charged with felonious assault, felony fleeing and eluding, and felony receiving stolen property.
Deputies Oliver Albert and Albert Caldwell pulled over a 2015 Honda Pilot just after 1 p.m. in Silverton for failing to obey a stop sign, Sheriff Jim Neil said in a statement.
Neil reported that the deputies discovered the driver did not have a license and was asked to exit the vehicle. The driver was pulled over in a parking lot at the corner of Section Road at Kenton Avenue.
North said the vehicle belonged to his sister, but according to court documents, the vehicle was stolen out of Cincinnati on Oct. 16.
According to deputies at the scene, North then put the SUV in reverse, striking Caldwell and pinning him between the Pilot and another vehicle.
Neil stated North drove away from the scene and later crashed the SUV into a wooded area on Kincaid Avenue near Section Road. Investigators said North and the other occupant of the SUV then fled on foot into the woods.
Officers from Amberley Village, Blue Ash, Cincinnati, Deer Park, Golf Manor departments and additional units from the sheriff's office came to assist Caldwell and search for the suspects.
A two-hour search utilizing K-9 units and a helicopter failed to locate the two men on the day of the incident.
Police said they lifted two fingerprints, one from the outside and one from the inside, of the driver-side door, which came back to North.
Caldwell was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital. His injuries were not life-threatening and he was released from the hospital later Friday.
According to the Sheriff's Office's web site, a special deputy is a voluntary, non-compensated position, which is in "ideal" circumstances, fulfilled by a retire peace officer or someone looking to pursue full-time employment as a Deputy Sheriff.
In May of 2014, North was convicted of gross sexual imposition of a 14-year-old and was sentenced to 24 months in the Department of Corrections, with 163 days time served. He is a registered sex offender, according to court documents.
North's bond was set at $75,000 and he's due in court next on Nov. 7, according to court documents.
The Hamilton County Sheriff's Office is continuing to investigate the incident. No information was available regarding a potential second suspect.
