Congratulations to our Innovation Award winners!
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner! Actually, we have eight. We're thrilled to share a little more about the worthy teams that have landed in our Top 8 for our first-ever Think It Up Innovation Awards! We searched the country for outside-the-box classroom projects and found these incredible and innovative programs:
· King-Robinson IB Magnet School (New Haven, CT): What happens when five 8th graders try to make school more interesting? With a little field research and a lot of heart, an incredible pilot program that leverages Chromebook technology in the classroom to make kids passionate about learning again! Way to go, guys!
· Polaris Charter Academy (Chicago, IL): These 8th graders worked together to change stereotypes about their community. Here's how: they created documentaries featuring volunteers and workers from West Humboldt Park, inspired a dialogue between local youth and police and organized a neighborhood rally for peace. Amazing work!
· Tokay High School (Lodi, CA): Great minds can do great things. More than 20 high school students worked together to create STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math), the first-ever Science and Tech Festival in their community. Designed to spark creative thinking, STEAM covered everything from coding to circuitry. If you're looking for the next generation of entrepreneurs, we know where to look! Awesome job!
· STEM Academy (Highlands Ranch, CO): Sometimes, all you need is love. By releasing their own album, four high school students (the new "Fab Four" to us) were a voice for unity and love through music. Students across the school united to learn the production process while working alongside local professional musicians. The icing on the cake? An album release concert that celebrated their new passion to make a difference with music. Rock on!
· Two Rivers School (North Bend, WA): These high school students have a wonderful green thumb! They built a greenhouse to teach their peers about nutrition and healthy eating, and how to prepare good meals on a budget! Students cooked the food they grew in their garden and donated it to their local homeless shelter, plus created a community at school that prepares monthly lunches for students. Their dedication to the greater good is an example for us all. Two thumbs up, guys!
· Mt. Nebo Jr. High School (Payson, UT): Concerned about environmental issues, these middle school students created a butterfly pavilion and beehive to help save dying honeybees. Led by students on the autism spectrum, this incredible project empowered students to explore how to improve the world around them by being proactive and a leader. Fantastic job, everyone!
· Chowchilla High School (Chowchilla, CA): Nobody likes a bully, especially not this high school class who put a bullying prevention program into action in their community. Speaking from personal experiences, they visited schools to raise awareness and teach empathy. In return, each audience signed a pledge not to tolerate bullying. Keep it up!
· Florida South Western Collegiate High School (Fort Myers, FL): These high school students went up, up and away with their after-school program for flying drones! Known as "Drone Academy," this twice-weekly program includes guest speakers, community education and outreach, entrepreneurship and partnerships with drone makers. It's a great way for them to learn about technology, fundraising and relationships. High five!
Congratulations to all of our winners! Your creativity and hard work are definitely something to be very proud of. Along with our partner DonorsChoose.org, we're awarding each team $5,000 in credit to advance their excellent work in the classroom. And this weekend, three of our winning teams will join us in Los Angeles for the Teen Choice Awards on Sunday!
These eight special teams were selected from thousands of impressive submissions from all over the country. Thanks to our dedicated Education Advisory Committee — comprised of representatives from The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, ExxonMobil, Ashoka's Start Empathy Initiative, DonorsChoose.org, EL Education, Learning Heroes and America Achieves — we were able to narrow the field to these standouts. What do all the winners have in common? They all foster curiosity and learning!
And curiosity and learning are exactly why we launched ThinkItUp.org, a first-of-its-kind platform to fund student-powered, teacher-led learning projects in partnership with teacher crowdfunding site DonorsChoose.org. Together, we've helped greenlight more than 2,700 classroom projects — being done by public school students in grades 7–12, with their teachers — from coast to coast.
And just think — all of this and it's only our first year! Our winning teams are a great reminder of what's possible. What's possible for you?

Asked why his TV series have always proved so successful, Attenborough says he's not surprised - but that's thanks to the human capacity to be excited and amazed by the new.
He cites a small child turning over a small stone, and declaring "A slug, what a treasure!"
Q: How has the world changed since you started your broadcasting career in the 1950s?
Sir DA explains that back in those days, the world felt unexplored and exciting. Visiting the Tropics for the first time, everywhere you turned you saw something new.
You really got the feeling about how it must have been in the Garden of Eden.
Prince William interviews Sir David Attenborough
WEF's founder Klaus Schwab is introducing Prince William and Sir David Attenborough now, for a dialogue on nature
The Duke begins by congratulating Sir David for winning the crystal award from the World Economic Forum last night.
This session is called "A Conversation with Sir David Attenborough and HRH the Duke of Cambridge", which sounds jolly cosy....
....except this particular conversation is happening on a big stage, in a room that seats thousands.
WEF says Attenborough will talk about "his life's work and how he has inspired generations of people to become champions for our planet".
There's a buzz building inside the Davos congress centre, as delegates flock towards its cavernous hall.
Prince William has now been sighted, and will be interviewing Sir David Attenborough shortly.
Sir David caused quite a stir at Davos last night, warning that human activity had pushed us into a new geological age:
The Holocene has ended. The Garden of Eden is no more.
We have changed the world so much that scientists say we are in a new geological age: the Anthropocene, the age of humans,
Miliband: World is suffering from 'crisis of diplomacy'
David Miliband, president of the International Rescue Committee and the former Labour foreign secretary is speaking on a panel about the humanitarian crises that will shape 2019. He says the world is suffering from "a crisis of diplomacy".
We're seeing a retreat by the major global diplomatic players in a way that creates a vacuum in a way that we believe are contributors to the rising levels of violence and humanitarian tragedy that we see.
I'm here in Davos because I believe that at a time when governments are in retreat, NGOs and the corporate sector have to step up, and that's what we're hoping to see this week.
Citi's CEO Mike Corbat also told Davos that he's worried about the people caught up in the US government shutdown, and "the hardship" that is being created.
Citi: Brexit will go down to the wire
Michael Corbat, chief executive officer of Citigroup, has told Davos that Brexit means his firm will be doing less work in London.
Speaking at a lunch organised by Bloomberg, Corbat explained that Citi have already taken precautions for Britain crashing out of the EU without a deal - but wouldn't say how much it will cost.
Corbat explained:
From Citi's perspective, from the industry's perspective, as for many businesses, we've had no choice but to prepare for a hard Brexit, as its likely we will come down to the wire.
Hopefully reason will prevail and we'll strike a balanced outcome for each of the parties, but in some ways it's a difficult situation.
Q: Do you think less of London than you used to?
Corbat doesn't address the question directly, but then explains that Citi will be forced to move jobs overseas.
The outcome is that we will be doing less there.
If you look at our business there, a third of our business is UK related. About a third is Europe-related, and about a third is rest of world.
Without a doubt it's likely we will be forced to move our European piece to the continent, and we've prepared for that.
Obviously we'll continue to do the UK piece in the UK, and over time we'll see what happens to the other third.
Q: What will a hard Brexit cost Citi?
That's confidential, Corbat, smiles, but "it's not going to be a cost-neutral outcome."

How to Make Chapri: Savory Bangladeshi Pancakes
Cereals, pancakes, waffles, French toasts, donuts! All are staples of the American breakfast. In Bangladesh, people usually do not eat sweet foods in the morning. Thin ruti (aka chapatti) with veggies or egg, occasional paratha are common everyday breakfast. Hot chapri, also known as chapti in some areas, is also a very popular breakfast item that Bangladeshis enjoy. Each bite of chapri has flavors of cumin, garlic, turmeric, green chili, onion and cilantro. Chapris can be satisfying weekend brunch items and are great weekday breakfast options if you make the batter ahead the night before to save time in the morning.
Traditional chapris are really savory pancakes made of wheat flour but the modern chapris are often made with white flour instead. I like using wheat flour with occasional addition of rice flour. The addition of rice flour makes the chapris a bit crumbly and dense. If you do not have rice flour, the chapris will still taste great with wheat or white flour.
While these pancakes don't need syrup or toppings of any kind, some like to sprinkle a pinch of sugar on top. If the thought of eating pancakes without a syrup or some condiment doesn't satisfy your palate be sure to give this radish chutney or green sauce a try with them.
Additional Tips:
- Each chapri takes about 2-3 minutes in total depending on the size.
- To achieve a lumpy batter, adjust with little more water or flour if necessary.
Enjoy, share and have a fabulous day!

Fort Worth Star-Telegram
FRISCO, Texas (TNS) — Wide receiver Dez Bryant has no interest in taking a pay cut and hopes to stay with the Dallas Cowboys next season.
"I haven't heard no talks of that, but if it comes … I don't know, probably not," Bryant said. "Hell no. I believe in me."
But he allowed that if he was forced out for financial reasons, given his decline in production that doesn't match the $13 million salary he earned in 2017 or the $12.5 million he is expected to earn in 2018, so be it.
"(Shoot), I don't know. But if that came about, I'm still Dez Bryant," Bryant said. "I'm still going over the top. If it's there where I can grab it, I'm going to grab it. It's just who I am."
It was part of a 16-minute conversation Bryant had with the media on Wednesday when he talked about his season-long frustrations and poor play that included concerns with the Cowboys' passing scheme and playing with tendinitis over the past seven games.
Bryant has 66 catches for 815 yards and six touchdowns in 15 games in 2017. He also has 12 dropped passes. He has not had a 100-yard game since November 13, 2016, a span of 22 games. It's all part of a continued decline in production since he signed a five-year, $70 million contract extension following the 2014 season.
Bryant has missed 10 games with injuries and has only 147 catches for 2,012 yards and 17 touchdowns in the past three season combined.
The Cowboys close the season on Sunday at Philadelphia.
Bryant plans to speak with owner Jerry Jones first, then coach Jason Garrett and offensive coordinator Scott Linehan about the scheme, which he believes has limited his opportunities and caused his decline in production.
But he also took personal responsibility in saying a lack focus and getting out of the game mentally because of his frustrations played a role in his poor play.
"I feel like for the most part I can only do what I can control," Bryant said. "A bit of times, hell yeah, frustrated, certain situations I couldn't control. Other than that, I believe in who I am. I'm a hell of a football player. I know that. I believe that. I let a lot of things get in the way that bothered me mentally. I feel like, if anything I need to deal with in the offseason, is that, only certain things I can control."
Asked to elaborate on the things that bothered him, Bryant declined, but made references to the scheme and his inability to run certain routes. He said it affected his play, resulting in the drops and fumbles.
"Me personally, just wanting to do different things," Bryant said. "Probably at the time I should have focused on what I could control. I let a lot of things get in the way. I wish I didn't. I feel like that affected, I know for a fact, some of my play."
Bryant made it clear that he has no issue with quarterback Dak Prescott, even though their lack of chemistry has consistently been raised when talk turns to his diminishing impact.
"My relationship with Dak is 100. He knows that right off the rip," Bryant said. "That's far from the issue."
Bryant took no issue with Prescott's comments after last Sunday's 21-12 loss to the Seattle Seahawks that included two drops and fumble from Bryant. Regarding one of the drops, Prescott said he had to put the ball in Bryant's facemask for him to avoid drops.
Prescott tried to walk it back on Wednesday.
"There wasn't more to that," Prescott said. "Honestly, it was probably more frustration upon myself than anything. Yeah, the guy was wide open. Put the ball in his face. It wasn't the whole fact of me saying for him to drop it, it was the obvious fact that he was wide open and I know I can make a better throw — to put it right there in his facemask. Yeah, it's frustrating we're not doing exactly what we want to do and we're not playing up to expectations, but we're going to learn from it and we're going to keep going."
Bryant said the comment was blown out of proportion by the media and he has no issues with Prescott, who he says is going to be a great player. He said the problems with the passing game and his chemistry with Prescott are about the scheme.
"I think at times this year they really have clicked and they've done some really good things," Garrett said of the Bryant-Prescott connection. "And then other times it hasn't been quite as good. There were a couple plays in the game the other day where they weren't necessarily on the same page and they were bad plays for us. One in particular was the interception that was tipped up in the air for them when we were down in the red area. So again, the biggest thing you have to do is you go back and evaluate it. You make sure they get on the same page as they go forward."
The players want to be on the same page too.
"Me and Dez are great," Prescott said. "Frustration on the field, off the field, it's not going to matter. We're true friends. Whether we do hit a bad spot or not, we're good enough friends, we'll be able to get around it. He's got all my respect on and off the field. He's a great person. So we're good."
And let Bryant tell it, aside from the tendinitis, he is good and still the same dynamic player that he always was, despite the numbers saying otherwise.
"Some of the film I see, I'm running routes a lot better than this person and this person," Bryant said. "It's all about the opportunities. Hey, it is what it is. Hey, I'm Dez Bryant, baby, all day."
But Bryant also stressed that he was partly responsible for his struggles because of a lack of focus and taking his frustrations to the field.
"I felt like a lot of times I looked damn good," Bryant said. "Then, I'd get to thinking about certain things and — you know, it bothers me. That's all I can say."
And that's what he wants to deal with and focus on in the offseason — not a pay cut or talk about playing for another team.
Asked he wants to stay in Dallas, Bryant minced no words.
"Hell yeah," he said. "I'm a Texas boy, all day."

Data scientists have the power to unlock the secrets within tangled datasets, to find hidden insights in mountains of numbers, and to use data to make better decisions. In this talk we'll explore how data science can be used in the social sector to help non-profits make better decisions, understand their impact, and better fulfill their missions to improve the public good. We'll present case studies where data scientists worked with social organizations (DC Action for Children, The Grameen Foundation, and GuideStar) through a partnership with DataKind, a non-profit organization that connects data scientists with mission-driven social organizations.

Today on the Anthony Cumia Show, radio/podcast host Anthony Cumia announced that he is taking a one month break from his show, during the month of April, to attend an inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility. He said that although the decision is related to "legalities" he said that is voluntary and is not a part of a court order. Comedians, friends and fellow broadcasters will fill in during the month of April while he is away.
Anthony's long time friend and radio host Ron Bennington joined him for the announcement and they were joined shortly after by Cumia's former radio co-host Jim Norton. Both Bennington and Norton are in recovery.
Cumia, who was clearly nervous about making the announcement basically blurted it out, early on in Wednesday's show, saying to Bennington, "Ronnie, I'm going to be away, for about a month." He continued, "I will not see the month of April here. And I'm having a lot of great people– very supportive people that I have known over the years fill in for me– fill the old shoes of your pal Anthony for the time I'm gone. Because much like Joan Crawford, I do this for you and I absolutely didn't want to go dark." Cumia continued. "Saturday, I am taking a plane out of here, lets just say. Out of New York, and going somewhere where I will spend a month… relaxing. ….learning ….um… rehabilitating perhaps is a word that could be used."
Cumia revealed that he had a lot of questions for his friends about recovery. "This is new territory for Anthony," he said, "I don't even know what I'm going in to. I don't know what the rules are, I don't know what it's going to be. It's like a big mystery adventure type thing. But I guess after this whole thing is said and done with, I might have a better understanding as to how I should proceed in the future and perhaps not get myself embroiled in legalities and what not that have plagued me for the wonderful year that is 2016 …and a few years prior that led up to it."
The legalities Cumia mentioned refers to his December 2015 arrest. On December 20th he was arrested in his Long Island home after he got into an argument with his former girlfriend, 26-year-old Danielle Brand. He was charged with strangulation, criminal mischief, unlawful imprisonment and assault. The two had been seen arguing on Periscope prior to the arrest and the video of the argument made the internet rounds after news of Cumia's arrest hit the papers. In the video, Brand claimed her hand had been broken and blamed her injury on Cumia.
But on Wednesday's show, Cumia made it clear that his decision to go to rehab was not court ordered. That doesn't rule out the possibility that the trip to rehab may be a part of an agreement with the Nassau County Prosecutors Office, or an attempt to favorably influence the outcome of his legal proceedings, but if that's the case, Cumia didn't say so.
Bennington and Norton joked around with Anthony, and gave him some supportive advice, and most of all expressed their happiness that Anthony was taking this step. "Well you had a good run, dude," Bennington joked, "It's a long time coming. I first brought this up to you 16 years ago. You probably don't remember; you blacked out. But yeah, you had a hell of a run and its time to reboot." Norton expressed similar thoughts, saying "you've enjoyed yourself in a certain way for many years." Bennington made a comparison to Peyton Manning- indicating that maybe Cumia stayed in the "game" a little too long.
Some of the fears, worries and questions Cumia raised included questions about women, freedoms, and a concern about being brainwashed. "Am I getting up early? Will i have a phone? Will I be able to enjoy myself and do the show and be funny?" The episode is available for free to non-subscribers who will be able to access the episode on anthonycumia.com and YouTube.
Cumia announced that some of his closest comedian friends- who also happen to be some of the best comics in New York, will be filling in for him during the month off as special guest hosts, starting with Jim Norton on Monday April 4th. Longtime friends Colin Quinn, Jim Florentine and Rich Vos, are on the list along with Ron Bennington, as well as comedians Dan Soder, Ari Shaffir, Luis J. Gomez, Sam Roberts, Kurt Metzger, Big Jay Oakerson and others. The complete list is below. Bennington announced that he received a phone call just before today's show informing him that his SiriusXM contract prevents him from technically hosting a show on The Cumia Network, but he will be appearing as a guest on the dates listed below. On April 6th B.L. who has made numerous appearances on Bennington's SiriusXM Show will serve as host.

Although Bennington has been a regular guest on Cumia's show, this was Norton's first time on the show since Cumia's December 2015 arrest.
Cumia had been promoting a "very special announcement" scheduled for today's show, leading long time fans to speculate all week about the nature of the announcement. Anthony dropped some pretty strong hints on yesterdays show, including revealing that FOX put the kibosh on Cumia appearing on their late night show 'Red Eye' until Cumia gets things 'taken care of' presumably referring to resolving his court case.
Cumia also read a statement that had been prepared by his press rep. "I'm sure most of you know the last few months have been pretty rough. Thank you to those of you who have stayed with the program and have supported this platform it has been greatly appreciated. I've always prided myself on being very connected with the fans. Opening our studio to the audience, meeting at events or by chance out on the street. So, with that in mind I wanted to let you know that I am going to take some time off from the show, and get the parts of my life together that haven't been tended to, too well lately. I'll be gone a little over a month and my shoes will be filled with some great talent and even better friends. I'm handing over the keys to the castle for awhile knowing that it will be in even better shape when I return. to those of you, my family my friends, and you who continue to stand by me in all of this, you have my deep gratitude, and to those of you who haven't, my best to you."
Anthony Cumia is the former co-host of the Opie and Anthony Show. He hosted the show for 25 years along with his former radio partner Gregg Opie Hughes. Cumia was fired from SiriusXM in July 2014 over a series of racially motivated tweets. Although Opie and Anthony had a history of being fired from radio jobs, often using the firing as an opportunity to step up to bigger gigs, this time Hughes opted to remain at SiriusXM. Cumia launched his own subscription based show- The Anthony Cumia Show– initially from a high tech studio in the basement of his Roselyn Heights home known as 'the Compound' to fans. He moved to a New York City studio in 2015, and has turned his show into a network, welcoming 5 other shows including the Legion of Skanks podcast, the Gavin McInness Show, The New York Crime Report, the East Side Dave Show, and Finer Things with Mike Finoia.

An Anchor Institution
Many businesses on Halsey Street in the university neighborhood have been launched with support from Rutgers University–Newark, especially the Center for Urban Entrepreneurship and Economic Development of Rutgers Business School.
< Back to Anchor Institution Home
The economic development role and impact of anchor institutions, such as higher educational institutions, hospitals and private sector companies with longstanding connection to place, is gaining national recognition. Anchor institutions can leverage their buying power, and their roles as a significant employers, conveners of stakeholders, and repositories of knowledge about entrepreneurship and manufacturing,to support local economic development.
Rutgers University – Newark, especially through Rutgers Business School (RBS), has established significant efforts to promote urban entrepreneurship and support urban manufacturing. The The RBS Center for Urban Entrepreneurship & Economic Development (CUEED) concentrates on building strong corporate and community partnerships to support the revitalization of Newark and other urban areas in New Jersey, educating entrepreneurs, students, and the public about urban entrepreneurship and economic development.
CUEED's Entrepreneurship Pioneers Initiative (EPI), launched in 2009, provides selected participants with intensive training, individual business and financial counseling, peer counseling, networking opportunities, and mentoring over a nine month period to help them grow and improve their businesses. More than 130 entrepreneurs have graduated from the program. EPI assists the entrepreneurs with developing a strategic plan to grow their businesses. At the completion of the nine months, participants have a plan to grow their business over the next three years that they can immediately begin implementing.
Another RBS resource that will support anchor-led local economic development efforts is the nationally recognized RBS Center for Supply Chain Management (CSCM), dedicated to developing innovative strategies and practical solutions for supply chain challenges encountered by businesses. CSCM promotes problem-solving and research between the faculty and the business community, serves as a ready source of leading-edge best practices in supply chain management, and develops and delivers executive education to the business community.
Two CUEED and CSCM pilot initiatives are focusing time and resources on RU-N's anchor economic development strategy:
The Halsey Street Initiative
This initiative proposes to focus attention on revitalizing the retail corridor bordering RU-N's campus. The retail establishments in the area span the spectrum of personal care establishments, eateries and discount stores. Some niche eateries have opened in recent years adding to a growing perception that Halsey Street has much potential to become a vibrant corridor that can set the pace for development beyond the boundaries of Broad Street over to Central Avenue. This potential is even more present given the expansion of Prudential Financial's headquarters and the development of the Hahne's building with anchor tenants such as Whole Foods.
RU-N can assist local merchants build capacity to improve their business operations and find ways to purchase goods and services that creates a strong value proposition for the merchants and the university. RU-N proposes to coordinate internal resources and assets, such as the CUEED and the CSCM to work with local merchants on projects such as:
- Collaborative messaging and signage that promotes Halsey Street as a destination
- Establishing a Halsey Street Coordinating Council (HSCC) comprised of institutional partners such as Prudential, the Institute for Entrepreneurial Leadership (IFEL), RU-N and the merchants, to plan for and invest in improving the commercial vitality of the corridor
- Work with the IFEL and CUEED to identify RBS students who can help Halsey street merchants hone their strategies while gaining valuable experience in entrepreneurship.
- Create a coordinated purchasing system that gives the anchors an updated list of merchants and their goods and services. The anchors can tailor purchasing to existing capacity or assist in expanding merchant capacity to provide additional goods and services.
Newark Industrial Solutions Center (NISC)
NISC's mission is to develop, strengthen, and promote Newark's industrial competitiveness for the 400+ small to mid-sized manufacturers (SMEs), and the resulting economic development utilizing CSCM applied and embedded supply-chain and business development resources, tools and hands-on capabilities. It is working with regional collaborators, including but not limited to the City of Newark, Newark Regional Business Partnership, Newark Workforce Investment Board, New Jersey Institute of Technology, and the New Jersey Manufacturing Extension Program.
CSCM is an active stakeholder-participant in the development of a Newark manufacturing strategy by the city's Newark Manufacturing Initiative. As such, it is committed to addressing pressing local/regional economic development matters that implicate supply chain sustainability, new innovation technology and small business competitiveness (for existing or new product and service development). For instance, plans to expand Port Newark and modernize Newark Liberty International Airport will, for the first time, offer existing Newark industries the opportunity to integrate global export opportunities into their business development strategies. Rutgers University's vast supply chain, procurement, environmental sustainability, commodity and logistic expertise utilizes the existing Newark industrial profiles to model options for future economic growth potential, while providing resource-strapped local businesses strategies to invest and prepare for the changes.
To date, the project plan has achieved the following objectives:
- Providing a measurable increase in industrial competitiveness and business development opportunities.
- Creating a "one-stop" research and development site for Newark SME manufacturers to access customized support in the area of supply chain sustainability.
- Continuously connecting greater Newark area manufacturers to face-to-face and business-to-business networks that promote supply chain competitiveness by boosting domestic sourcing, innovation, supply chain archaeology, new technology, and distribution.
- Strengthening budding partnerships between industry consortia, the city of Newark, and local and regional intermediaries to promote resource efficiency strategies.
- Working directly with underperforming small businesses with limited supply-chain and/or workforce capacities to improve their participation in the development of their emerging business development strategies. RBS student interns are working on complex business solutions and enhancement strategies.
- Providing industry-specific supply-chain simulations and models to help companies increase their decision-making skills so they can develop and execute critical decisions and sustain a self-sufficient trajectory.
- Jersey Bound: NISC worked with Westfield Corporation, Spectrum, and several partners to create and launch the first NJ-manufactured artisan storefront at Newark Airport's Terminal B. Revenue supports NJ Business and several autism programs.
- City of Newark Procurement Department Analysis Project: Will enhance the professional development of government procurement towards Newark businesses.
- Developed and implemented corporate supplier diversity training programs to build major corporation's capacity to secure contracts with Newark SMEs.

An active Foggy Bottom community member is suing the D.C. Board of Zoning Adjustment to block the construction of a Marriott hotel adjacent to the 1959 E Street residence hall.
The BZA and the developer's contractor, Tyler and Associates, are defending the proposal. In February, Tyler and Associates applied to build a Courtyard Marriott Hotel in place of the Colonial Parking garage at 515 20th St. N.W.
The BZA gave its final approval for the construction in August, and Foggy Bottom resident Dorothy Miller quickly filed her lawsuit to block construction in September. Miller is also an elected member of the Foggy Bottom/West End Advisory Neighborhood Commission, which makes recommendations to the District government on development issues.
Miller filed a brief in the D.C. Court of Appeals last week which outlined her reasons for opposing the hotel construction. According to the brief, the hotel would detrimentally affect nearby residents and create an unbalanced amount of commercial property on the block, which includes Thurston and Mitchell halls.
"The BZA ignored the … evidence in the record as to the overwhelming number of institutional and non-residential uses in close proximity to the site, and the imbalance of residential uses and non-residential uses," the brief stated.
Miller told The Hatchet that the construction of a new hotel will bring more noise and traffic to an already crowded area. "The street cannot take anymore traffic," Miller said, adding that there already is too much congestion on 20th Street.
"I, as a citizen, resent the fact that they are ruining another section of our neighborhood," she said.
Miller, elected to the ANC for her 16th year, is filing her suit independently of the commission. Despite this, her brief relies heavily on the ANC's protest of the developer, the Allstate Hotel Partnership.
The Hatchet previously reported that when the plan was first proposed at the ANC meeting back in February 2006, residents faulted the plan for building right up to the sidewalk, not having a driveway for cabs and for being too tall. The commission then unanimously voted against the construction.
The hotel partnership defended itself against public opposition to the application submitted in late February to the BZA.
"The height, bulk and design of the hotel will be in harmony with existing uses and structures on neighboring property," the application stated.
They said the proposed 90 foot building is consistent with the 107-foot tall E Street building to its south and "the overwhelming majority of surrounding buildings." As approved, the Marriott would stand 9-stories tall with 147 rooms and an indoor swimming pool.
The developer also rejected claims that its plan would increase traffic, citing a transportation study. The report stated that the hotel would "avoid danger of objectionable traffic conditions."
The BZA has a month to file its response to Miller's brief. A timeframe for the court's decision depends on when the case is scheduled to appear in court.
The BZA's lawyer did not return several phone calls from The Hatchet, and Michael Tyler of Tyler and Associates said the owner of the garage instructed him not to comment.
Some students are concerned that walking to class at 1957 E Street or to the 1959 E Street residence hall will be impossible.
Senior Lauren Knight, a resident of 1959 E Street, said building a hotel on the Colonial Parking garage property would be an "awful idea" because of the sidewalk closing during construction. She said she was also concerned about GW's already weak campus feel at the E Street end of campus.
"It separates the E Street building from the rest of campus even further by inserting an unrelated business," she said.
Elizabeth Elliott, a board member of the Foggy Bottom Association, said she was asked to testify on the behalf of the ANC at the zoning hearing for the hotel. She said the situation is "another attempt to skirt zoning regulations." The FBA is a community group which opposes development in the Foggy Bottom neighborhood, especially by GW.
Elliott, who is a former ANC commissioner, believes if the construction were allowed it would set a "bad precedent" because it is not consistent with zoning law.
