On September 17, 1787, the Second Continental Congress approved of the draft of the US Constitution. They realized that the Articles of Confederation at the time were insufficient to run the new nation.
On June 21, 1788, the Constitution was ratified and became the law of the new United States of America, replacing the Articles of Confederation.
Article III of the Constitution spelled out the role of a third branch of government, the Judicial branch:

Article III.
Section. 1.
The judicial Power of the United States shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services a Compensation, which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office.
Section. 2.
The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority;–to all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls;–to all Cases of admiralty and maritime Jurisdiction;–to Controversies to which the United States shall be a Party;–to Controversies between two or more States;– between a State and Citizens of another State,–between Citizens of different States,–between Citizens of the same State claiming Lands under Grants of different States, and between a State, or the Citizens thereof, and foreign States, Citizens or Subjects.
In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.
The Trial of all Crimes, except in Cases of Impeachment, shall be by Jury; and such Trial shall be held in the State where the said Crimes shall have been committed; but when not committed within any State, the Trial shall be at such Place or Places as the Congress may by Law have directed.
Section. 3.
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.
Even though Article III laid down the framework for the Judiciary branch of government, it failed to provide many of the necessary details to establish and govern the new federal government. [NOTE – the Framers intended the Judiciary to be the lesser and weaker of the three branches of government. They did not intend for it to become the absolute rule over the nation and people that it has become today. It was never intended to allow 1 to 3 judges to overrule the legal laws voted on by the people, based upon their personal agendas rather than on the rule of law or Constitution.]
On this day, September 24, 1789, President George Washington signed into law The Judiciary Act of 1789 or more formally, 'An Act to Establish the Judicial Courts of the United States.' Per the Constitution, Congress established a number of lower federal courts which were spelled out in the Judiciary Act.
On September 26, 1789, Washington appointed US Secretary of Foreign Affairs, John Jay, to be the first Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Washington also appointed Jay to serve as acting Secretary of State at the same time.
Opposite from the godless philosophy of today's Supreme Court, Chief Justice John Jay once stated:
"Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers." [Henry Johnston, Ed. The Correspondence and Public Papers of John Jay, G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York, 1893, Vol. IV (1794-1826), p. 393.]
On June 29, 1795, Jay resigned from the Supreme Court. Jay understood that nowhere in the Constitution or the Judiciary Act did anything state that the term of a Supreme Court Justice or federal judge is for life. In fact, the only thing about term of office is found in Section 1 of Article III of the US Constitution which reads:
"The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services a Compensation, which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office."
It's time Americans begin demanding that the Constitution be upheld and that all Justices of the Supreme Court and other federal judges be removed from the bench for ruling on personal agenda instead of the Constitution and rule of law.
From July 1, 1795 to June 30, 1801, Jay served as the second Governor of the State of New York.
The Judiciary Act of 1789 remained relatively unchanged for a number of decades. However, as the nation expanded westward and grew in population, a number of amendments revising it were passed by various Congresses.

All Goldenbridge inmates would have made their confirmation at St. Michael's church. It was presided over by a visiting bishop of the diocese. Even though it was only a very short distance from the industrial 'school' the child inmates who never went out with any family members or had visitors of any kind would not have known of its existence before confirmation day. As inmates attended the semi-enclosed internal Goldenbridge convent chapel twice daily, and for every other church need, which entailed morning Latin mass, evening Latin litany and Latin benediction.
Calvary, St. Michael's Church, Inchicore, Dublin 8
I recollect Sr. F. standing behind me at the main altar of St. Michael's on my Confirmation Day in the mid-sixties. She must have moved along the aisle with each Goldenbridge confirmation girl after the bishop had blessed them accordingly. I was given the name Margaret. I discovered sometime afterwards (when I had the privilege of entering Sr. F's cell to make her bed) that there was a framed photo certificate hanging over the nun's bed. I had secretly read the contents, and saw that the nun's pre-profession name had been – Margaret. She had obviously given me her name. I don't recall putting the two together when I was in Goldenbridge. It was only as an adult that I had come to that conclusion. All I had remembered was that I had been given the Confirmation name of Margaret
I was surprised that nobody told me then that I had could choose a name of my own. I was so institutionalised. I was also shocked when other survivors told me that they had chosen their own names. I must have been so dense at the time. not to have copped on to that situation.

ANN ARBOR -- The University of Michigan's Central Student Government has completed its investigation into how the school handles its new student sexual misconduct policy.
On Sunday, the CSG released the findings of its investigation, which was led by a task force formed in February after news broke that former Michigan kicker Brendan Gibbons was expelled in December for a violation of the school's sexual misconduct policy in 2009.
The student-run task force, which produced a 54-page report, examined the school's Office of Conflict Resolution's "implementation of the University of Michigan Policy on Sexual Misconduct by Students, effective August 19, 2013, and the expulsion of Brendan Gibbons from the University of Michigan."
Student body president Michael Proppe estimated that the most alarming finding throughout this investigation was that Michigan repeatedly failed to meet a recommended 60-day period of time between sexual misconduct complaints and actual university investigations.
Basically because staffing wasn't strong enough.
"The university was regularly missing its 60-day deadline to investigate sexual misconduct," Proppe said Sunday night. "The main reason, at least initially when the moved to the new policy, was that the university didn't have the bandwidth to handle all these investigations. They took about a year to hire a second investigator to look into this.
"So that was probably the most surprising and most concerning finding, that the delay in the Gibbons case was really not an exception but kind of the norm with these investigations."
When it came to Michigan's Office of Institutional Equity and the Office of Student Conflict Resolution, the CSG found that "either the (OIE or OSCR) failed to consistently communicate with the Athletic Department, the Athletic Department failed to consistently communicate with its coaches regarding ongoing student athlete disciplinary matters, or Brady Hoke knowingly issued false statements in December 2013, concerning the status of Gibbons."
Gibbons did not travel with the football team to the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl. When the team arrived in Arizona on Dec. 23, Hoke told a group of reporters that Gibbons was not making the trip due to a "family matter."
The Michigan Daily reported this winter that Gibbons was notified of his expulsion on Dec. 19, and the expulsion became official on Dec. 20.
Per the CSG's report, the task force claimed that athletic department officials did not believe the OIE or OSCR failed to notify the department "when a student athlete was accused of sexual misconduct." As a result of that finding, the task force concluded that "Brady Hoke knowingly issued false statements in December 2013 concerning the status of Gibbons."
Proppe said the task force's report has strong evidence to suggest that communication between the athletic department -- which includes head coaches -- and both the OIE and the OSCR has been strong.
He said that the report's findings suggest Hoke was aware of the Gibbons investigation when it began in August, he was aware when the OSCR found Gibbons to be in violation of this policy in November and he was aware that Gibbons had been expelled, officially, on Dec. 20.
Hoke, citing student federal privacy laws, has declined to comment specifically on this investigation numerous times.
"I think a lot of people were guessing at that, but we've got pretty solid evidence that this is the case," Proppe said. "He would have been aware when it started, would have been aware when he was found responsible and would've been aware when he was separated (from the university)."
University spokesman Rick Fitzgerald offered an official comment on the student report.
"We appreciate that Central Student Government takes the issue of sexual misconduct seriously, as do we," he wrote. "We hope the CSG's focus on these issues will lead to greater awareness of the student sexual misconduct policy and even more survivors coming forward."
The task force also noted that it did not find any evidence of athletic department officials influencing the "timing of the OIE's findings or the OSCR's sanctions."
Additionally, the task force found that the school did not properly explain the four-year delay between Gibbons' alleged misconduct and the actual expulsion itself.
Gibbons was arrested in November 2009 during a police investigation into a sexaul assault complaint. He was never charged in the case, and the case is now listed as closed.
Michigan's internal disciplinary system is different than the criminal justice system.
Michigan introduced a new sexual misconduct policy that went into place on an interim basis in 2011 before becoming permanent in August of 2013. Under the new policy, the complaintant no longer guides the process of sexual misconduct investigations, and anyone with knowledge of a situation can report a complaint.
The CSG also found that the university "failed to investigate (Gibbons') alleged sexual misconduct within the sixty-day period specified in the Sexual Misconduct Policy."
Michigan has declined to release specific information about this case to the media, citing federal student privacy laws.
The CSG's task force did not work in concert with officials from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights, which will be on campus this week to launch its own investigation into the university's sexual misconduct policy.

If someone asked you what the theme, or main message of the Bible is, what would be the first thing that you think of? Go ahead, think of your answer. Got it? Okay, good.
My immediate answer is something like "God's relationship with humanity," or "the salvation of mankind," or simply "redemption."
I have often wondered what the Watchtower's answer to that question would be. My guesses were "God's coming kingdom," or "the end is near." I have always wondered whether there was an underlying assumption or an over-arching theme that dictated and tied together most, if not all of the watchtower doctrine.
Recently I think I found what would be their answer. And yes, it does tie things together, if not perfectly, at least enough that it helps make sense of many of the WT doctrines that we consider quirky and disjointed. Here's how I discovered watchtower's answer to the Bible's theme.
I was researching (on the internet) the watchtower's view of God's sovereignty as an attribute of God, and stumbled across an article critiquing the watchtower's teaching about something called "The vindication of Jehovah's sovereignty." Here's an excerpt from that article:
"You are my witnesses," declares Jehovah, "Yes, my servant whom I have chosen…" (Isa 43:10)
We are taught that we are like witnesses in a court case. What is being judged is God's right to rule and the righteousness of his rule. We are told that we live under his rulership; that the Organization of Jehovah's Witnesses is a true theocracy—a nation ruled by God with a population larger than that of many countries on earth today. By our conduct and by showing that life in our nation is "the best way of life ever", we are said to be vindicating Jehovah's sovereignty.
by Meleti Vivlon | Apr 26, 2015 http://meletivivlon.com, "Why Do Jehovah's Witnesses Preach the Vindication of Jehovah's Sovereignty?"
My immediate thought was, "I have never heard about this doctrine before, either in the WT literature, or in any of the talks at kingdom halls or conventions. Where is this coming from? Is this for real?" Well, I have come to find out that yes, it's a thing. My suspicion is that the doctrine was something that was taught in the past, but now assumed to be true; part of the Watchtower mindset and culture, but not explicitly stated in current literature. I think it quite possible that modern JW's have been operating under the assumptions of this doctrine for most of their history, but with few current JW's being able to give a concrete expression of it. But now, I believe that someone at the WT headquarters has re-discovered the old expression of this doctrine, and is now bringing it again to the forefront. When I searched "sovereignty" at www.jw.org, here's what I discovered.
In the June 2017 issue of the Watchtower (study edition), there are two articles: First, there's "Keep Your Eyes on the Big Issue." (pp. 22-26) What is the Big Issue? It's the vindication of Jehovah's sovereignty. Surprise! A ghost from the past has been resurrected! The second paragraph alone uses the phrase three times, with variations of the phrase occurring throughout the article almost too many times to count. (It's a good example of mind-numbing repetition.) Here's the main argument:
The action of Satan the Devil has raised the question of the rightfulness of Jehovah's sovereignty.
Of course, Jehovah knows that the Devil's allegations are false. So why has God chosen to allow the issue to go on, giving Satan time to try to prove his point?
The first human couple rejected Jehovah's rulership, and so have many others since then. This could lead some to wonder whether there might be validity to the Devil's claim.
As long as the question remains unsettled in the minds of humans or angels, discord among nations, races, tribes, families, and individuals will exist.
The second article is "Uphold Jehovah's Sovereignty!" (pp. 27-31.), which is the application of the doctrine, essentially saying that our everyday actions are needed in the great cause of vindicating the sovereignty of Jehovah:
"Now is the time to uphold God's sovereignty by our integrity, our service, and our earnest endeavors to imitate him in all we do." (Paragraph 20.)
There's a third thing that I found that confirms that this old theme is being revived by the Watchtower. If you click on "The Message of the Bible" under "Bible Teachings" at jw.org, a page comes up reinforcing the theme as taught in the articles:
"The Message of the Bible: Jehovah God has the right to rule. His method of ruling is best. His purpose for the earth and for mankind will be fulfilled."
Seven pictures give an overview of the Bible, beginning with "The serpent questions Jehovah's right to rule and his way of ruling," and ending with "Jehovah's original purpose for the earth and for mankind is fulfilled, his name is cleared of reproach, and his way of ruling is vindicated."
Essentially Watchtower is saying that God has been the defendant in an ongoing trial, beginning with the fall, and ending at Armageddon. I wonder then: Who is the judge in the trial? Who is the jury? (Apparently the unsettled minds of humans and angels, according to the WT article.) And why are the ranting accusations of Satan, the deceiver, the liar and father of lies, being taken so seriously?
The doctrine does, though, make sense of the whole Watchtower legalistic system. Humans, like character witnesses, are burdened with presenting the evidence for God's right to rule. (As if the burden rested upon God, rather than Satan.) Nowhere in scripture is the doctrine of the vindication of Jehovah's sovereignty taught or even mentioned. The verse usually quoted is Proverbs 27:11, which is about a father imploring his son to be wise so that the father "may answer anyone who treats me with contempt." Making this verse proof of God's need for our witness of his sovereignty is an obvious stretch, similar to the "new light" verse of Proverbs 4:18 (used to "prove" the need for ongoing updated revelation).
It will be interesting to see renewed emphasis given to this old doctrine in upcoming congregation meetings, regional assemblies, and district conventions. I'm sure the catchphrase "vindicating Jehovah's sovereignty" will soon become part of the "theocratic language" of the common Jehovah's Witness. The best way to use it as an opportunity for ministry will be to simply ask your JW friends, "Where is that phrase found in scripture?" Then, share with them what YOU see as the main theme of the Bible.
Alternately you could use the tactic of quoting Jesus, when he says "You will be my witnesses" (Acts 1:8), asking them to explain how different that is from being a character witness in a court case. You might also ask, "As a witness of Jehovah, are you a witness in the sense of announcing, or making known, the good news of the coming kingdom, or are you a witness like a character witness in the cosmic court case against Jehovah? I'm confused by the Watchtower's two very different uses of the word."

Lebanese man convicted of storing bomb materials
BANGKOK (AP) — A Thai court on Wednesday convicted a Lebanese man with alleged links to Hezbollah militants for illegal possession of bomb-making materials that he was storing in a warehouse outside Bangkok.
Atris Hussein, who also holds Swedish nationality, was arrested Jan 12, 2012, at Bangkok's main airport after a tip-off from Israeli police, who claimed he was going to stage a terrorist attack in Thailand. After being questioned, Hussein led police to a warehouse with hundreds of boxes containing more than 2,800 kilograms (6,200 pounds) of liquid ammonium nitrate and 8,800 pounds (4,000 kilograms) of urea fertilizer, both of which can be used to make explosives.
The court convicted and sentenced Hussein to two years and eight months in prison for illegal possession of the ammonium nitrate, which is a banned substance under Thailand's Weapons Act. It did not convict him for possession of the fertilizer, which is not an illegal substance. He will serve about one more year of the term due to time already spent behind bars.
The United States welcomed the verdict, and said the large quantity of explosive uncovered by Thai authorities demonstrated the global reach of Hezbollah.
But after the verdict, the 49-year-old Hussein — his legs in chains — told reporters he was "happy" with the ruling. His lawyer said they plan to appeal.
Hussein has claimed innocence in the case and denies any links to Hezbollah. He has said he was probably framed by Israel's Mossad spy agency.
In an interview last year with a Swedish newspaper, Hussein said that he was involved in a business that exported a variety of goods from Thailand to other countries, including Lebanon. The products included fans, copy machine paper and frozen gel packs used for pain relief, he said.
"There is ammonium in these packs. That's all there is to it. We never traded with fertilizer. It must have been placed there by someone, probably Mossad," Hussein said told Aftonbladet newspaper.
In its verdict, the court said Hussein's claims "did not hold weight" because he showed no proof of any trading transactions that a normal business would have.
"The defendant was involved in the process of transferring, packing and handling the materials ... so it is considered that he was the owner of the material," the judges said in their verdict.
Hussein said he moved to Sweden in 1989 and became a Swedish citizen five years later. He said he worked in the country as a hairdresser before moving back to Lebanon in 2005.
His arrest in Thailand was linked to warnings by the United States and Israel of a possible terror threat in Bangkok, coming at a time of heightened tension over U.S. and Israeli responses to the prospect that Iran was moving ahead with its nuclear program.
In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf praised Thai law enforcers for disrupting a "potentially deadly plot which could have killed or injured innocent civilians." She said Hezbollah had been storing thousands of pounds of explosive material in the warehouse, enough for multiple attacks.
"Today's verdict illustrates once again, the global reach of Hezbollah's terrorist arm and demonstrates why countries around the world need to remain vigilant about their activities," Harf told reporters.
Police testified that they had received a tip-off from Israeli authorities that Hussein had suspected links to pro-Iranian Hezbollah militants and was preparing to stage a terrorist attack at a key location in Thailand.
Thai police have said Hussein's case was unrelated to a botched bomb plot in Bangkok that was exposed on Feb. 14, 2012, shortly after his arrest. In that case, which also wrapped up recently, an accidental explosion blew apart a Bangkok home where a group of Iranians were staying.
A court last month sentenced one of the Iranians to life in prison and his compatriot to 15 years in jail for possession of illegal explosives and other charges for the plot that officials say was aimed at Israeli diplomats in Bangkok.

Preserving history in obsolete digital formats
Digital Domesday Book lasts 15 years not 1000. This March 3, 2002 article illustrates the hazards of entrusting your digitized bits to a dying format. By December 2002, researchers successfully retrieved the bits. The Domesday book, created in 1086, is a record of the state of Britain at that time.
The digital archive, and how it got locked:
The special computers developed to play the 12in video discs of text, photographs, maps and archive footage of British life are - quite simply - obsolete.
As a result, no one can access the reams of project information - equivalent to several sets of encyclopaedias - that were assembled about the state of the nation in 1986. By contrast, the original Domesday Book - an inventory of eleventh-century England compiled in 1086 by Norman monks - is in fine condition in the Public Record Office, Kew, and can be accessed by anyone who can read and has the right credentials. 'It is ironic, but the 15-year-old version is unreadable, while the ancient one is still perfectly usable,' said computer expert Paul Wheatley. 'We're lucky Shakespeare didn't write on an old PC.' [Read More]
The above article discusses how all digital storage is in danger of becoming obsolete, and notes other examples where data—only decades old, not 900 years old—is lost.
How the Domesday Book got unlocked.
The team at Leeds University and the University of Michigan in the US say they have now found a way to access this rich digital archive.
They have developed software that emulates the obsolete Acorn Microcomputer system and the video disc player. [Read More]

This is why using standard formats for archiving media clips is so important.
For audio, WAV files are what we should be archiving today.
For photographs, the attractiveness of RAW camera files is alluring, I'll admit to storing RAW files, but there may be issues down the road. Currently there are at least five applications - including from Microsoft and Adobe - that can read my Nikon RAW files. Otherwise, saving images in TIFF, lossless JPEG2000, or very-high resolution JPEGs if that's how they came makes sense.
One of the challenges as I understand the British problem was that it was not only the raw data that was difficult to access, it was also the "flow" through the data—the metadata and programming—that was embedded in the original application. That represented a substantial portion of the effort. In that regard, we need to be careful about our Flash movies, PowerPoint slide shows, and especially the less-pervasive formats for making presentations.
Thanks for weighing in on WAV. Better n redbook audio CD? or is this a both/and vs. either/or? I recall your discussion of what kind of machinery will be around 100 years from now; probability for Audio CD is high, correct? My thoughts are, do both: WAV/AIF as data files, and AudioCDs as files in physical media.
Re: photos. Interesting points you make. I'm so much of a photoshop head that I store stuff in .psd formats. Haven't yet jumped onto the RAW bandwagon. hi-rez jpeg, psd, tif: those are my main formats.
But the biggie that's still in motion is digital video. Both software file format and hardware. It hurts my head just to consider the permutations. But because I'm going to be talking at Vloggercon next week, head-hurt I must.
In that regard, we need to be careful about our Flash movies, PowerPoint slide shows, and especially the less-pervasive formats for making presentations.
heh. I was just looking at Keynote… in preparation for the aforementioned speaking at Vloggercon. This Domesday entry is one research snippet for what I'll be talking about. Digital video formatting—longterm, is an issue I wish to raise; I've no idea how it'll go.
Hi, Susan,
Red book CD is fine for standard 44,100 samples per second, 16 bit audio files. The archival storage "standard" for the moment is 96,000 samples per second and 24 bits, so that doesn't fit on a red book CD. For individuals, red book CDs (standard audio CDs) are an excellent choice on gold-reflective-layer phthalocyanine dye CD-Rs, with at least two copies stored in different geological/geographical areas.
I think AIF should be fine - I apologize for my Windows-centric post.
As to PSD, that will work as long as Adobe PhotoShop is around. I save a bunch of stuff in PSD. Does GIMP read PSDs?
Motion video and film scans are best stored in a lossless format. JPEG2000/lossless is a good choice - and there is a motion-JPEG2000 version. There are people in the archival community pushing for that, but support is still small.
MPEG 3 video is widely used, and at 40-50 Mb/s looks very good. DV compression at 25 and 50 Mb/s is used as well (both for Standard Def TV). High Def and film storage consumes a LOT of space.
Remeber, HD TV baseband digital is 1.5 Gb/s!
35mm film is being scanned at 4K pixels wide, by whatever the height is for square pixels. Some maybe even higher.
Yes, everyone's head hurts. I'll let you in on a little secret. The predicitibility of the long-term stability of a given reel of tape (dedicated audio and video - data tape is better) is not very good.
Check out my tape aging section of my Blog at
There are some not-so-pretty pictures there.
PSD files and The Gimp. I'll hafta check. Doc M (my significant other) has The Gimp on his linux box, but is in the midst of deadline hell, so I can't check right away.
gold-reflective-layer phthalocyanine dye CD-Rs == Mitsui Gold/MAM-A, correct? (never mind, Google will help me figure it out) And it has . It is. The nice thing about the geographic dispersal is that if you distribute these among family members, you HAVE done geographic dispersal. I'll put that on my To Do list, tho.. the geographic dispersal.
By the way, I've gotta do a review of archival pens to write on CD/DVD media. I wrote the Sharpie folks to ask what's in their new "archival" pen—does it have the bad chemicals in it? The response I got back was, "Sorry Ma'am, that's proprietary." Which, to me, means, "Sorry, Sharpie, I cannot recommend you."
Lossless video—zoiks!—here, I'm thinking about what you do with home and personal video converted to digital format. And how an individual stores that. Of which more later.
I've been marking CDs and DVDs with this for about a year and a half now…
It is probably safer than a pen and I use it BEFORE burning so if it has done any damage, the damage will most likely be detected during the burn.
An old thread on a timeless topic!
When I started thinking about interactive family history projects I eventually chose Adobe's PDF format. At this point PDF is as close to a digital archival format as we have have. You could store everthing as text but that would be a bit of a stretch for your images, sound files and video files. With the right Acrobat reader, PDF files can be viewed and printed successfully from any computer platform anywhere. PDFs can include audio, video and hyperlinks. Adobe has gone to great lengths to insure backwards compantibility in PDF files and for the most part they've succeeded.
I've done several interactive family history projects in PDF format. You can download major sections of one project here:
Like everything else digital, even with a good archival format PDF files at the mercy of the storage medium, however.

Scientist Ambassador Academy connects Lab employees and the public
The Bradbury Science Museum's Scientist Ambassador Academy offers Lab employees an opportunity to communicate the impactful things they do at work with the local community, children, adults, and even visitors to the museum from all over the world.
Sandy Frost, an electrical and computer engineer, is one such Scientist Ambassador. "The great thing about being a Scientist Ambassador is that every time I'm out there, I'm learning things as well," she says, noting the time a visiting teenager introduced her to a small robot called Jibo, a social robot, which can interact with humans.
In her role as a Scientist Ambassador, Frost periodically offers a program called "Software Surrounds Us." During her sessions, she teaches how software and coding are integral to our lives and even demonstrates how the home automation device Amazon Echo can turn off a lamp.
"Software surrounds us, everywhere we go," Frost explains. "Your phone wakes you up in the morning, your coffee maker starts, and your thermostat triggers to get you nice and warm. As you drive to work, smart cars will let you know if you're veering out of your lane. You can even pre-order and pre-pay at Starbucks with your phone. Throughout your day, software keeps popping up all over the place."
Frost travels to events with a papier-mâché house display that includes images of devices throughout. "It begins the science conversation," she says.
Starting this conversation is the mission of the Scientist Ambassador Academy. "We offer customized training and support to help program participants craft their science messages so they can engage people of all ages and education levels," says Linda Anderman, the museum's point of contact for the program.
Although the 2017 Scientist Ambassador Academy application process is closed for 2107, interested parties should consider joining the program in 2018. More information is available on the program's website, and details on current Ambassadors can be found on the Lab's website.
On March 11, Science Ambassador Nathan DeBardeleben, with the Lab's High Performance Computing Design group, will discuss how computer memory stores its ones and zeros and how a neutron bouncing through the memory could cause information corruption. Linda Anderman, with the Lab's Bradbury Science Museum, will present the advantages of the metric system. The event is part of the "Scientist in the Spotlight" series, which is held every second Saturday from 11 a.m.–1 p.m. at the Bradbury.
Request a Scientist Ambassador
If you would like to request a science ambassador to speak to your organization, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com describing your event and which Scientist Ambassadors you'd like to request.

Listen to Frost discuss her role as a Scientist Ambassador with Kommunity Radio Station (KRSN) 1490 AM, FM 107.1.

Tune in for an hour of news, information and social/political commentary.
Donald Trumps has nearly secured the Republican nomination as he is the last man standing. Trump and conservatives have already pivoted to attacking Hillary Clinton on her dubious political record, bad judgement in foreign policy and her deepening email scandal that looks more and more like an impending indictment on criminal charges as a Romanian hacker who is in a US jail cell, has told news outlets, it was easy to break into Clinton's private email server.
This has led to many of the Sander's supporters to call on Clinton to drop out now and #HillaryDropOut was one of the top trending hash tags on Twitter.
Chicago's top prosecutor is asking the courts to allow her to recuse herself from the case involving Officer Jason Van Dyke who murdered teenager Laquan McDonald.
As prisoners on some of America's modern slave plantations conduct work stoppages in Texas and Alabama, Bill Clinton's other crime bill is getting fresh scrutiny as it further stripped prisoners of so-called "constitutional rights".
Lastly, CEO Obama was in Flint and drank some of Flint's poisoned water that had been filtered declaring it is safe to drink. He also stated he was not there to discuss accountability and was not going to play politics with the situation.

Samuel Cunard, Isambard Brunel, and the Great Atlantic SteamshipsBook - 2003 | First edition.
A stirring narrative of the rapid development of the great transatlantic steamships, from paddle-wheelers to the sleek luxury greyhounds of the modern era -- and the men who designed and ran them.
During the nineteenth century, the roughest but most important ocean passage in the world lay between Britain and the United States. Bridging the Atlantic Ocean by steamship was a defining, remarkable feat of the era. Over time, Atlantic steamships became the largest, most complex machines yet devised. They created a new transatlantic world of commerce and travel, reconciling former Anglo-American enemies and bringing millions of emigrants to transform the United States.
In Transatlantic, the experience of crossing the Atlantic is re-created in stunning detail from the varied perspectives of first class, steerage, officers, and crew. The dynamic evolution of the Atlantic steamer is traced from Brunel's Great Western of 1838 to Cunard's Mauretania of 1907, the greatest steamship ever built. Set against the classic tension of modern technology contending with a formidable natural environment, the story is rife with disasters. The key element is steam power: the universal, magical, transforming microchip of the nineteenth century.

Quoting disclosures by Mirpur SP, CNN-News18 confirmed the surgical strikes, which Pakistan so vehemently refused to acknowledge, were actually carried out by India on terrorist launch pads across the Line of Control on 29 September.
Mirpur SP, who was under the impression that he was speaking to his superior IG Mushtaq, confirmed claims made by the Indian Army to News18's Investigations Editor Manoj Gupta.
Not only did the SP confirm the timings of the strike, he also revealed the areas that were under attack – Leepa and Asmani in Bhimber – and the number of people killed. He said the Pakistan Army had cordoned off all these areas immediately after the Indian Army's strikes.
"Sir, that was night... you can say roughly 3-4 hours... between 2 am and 4 or 5am... the attack continued between that time," Mirpur SP told CNN-News18.
He further said that 12 people were killed and were buried in 12 coffins in their villages.
The SP also said that the Pakistan Army put the bodies in ambulances and took them away, adding that many have been buried in villages and that his personnel were evaluating the coffin boxes.
Listing the names of five Pakistani soldiers who were killed and nine injured in the strikes (names redacted adhering to the code of standards and practices of CNN-News18 which prevented them from publishing the details), Mirpur SP said, "A mosque has also been damaged. It is near the post in Leepa. These are all details of the 29th... when the surgical strike happened."
When asked if any locals or jihadis were killed, Mirpur SP said, "No locals died. But there is a probability that jihadis have been killed."
In another shocking revelation, Mirpur SP admitted that the Pakistani Army facilitates jihadi movement in forward areas and arranges for their crossing over to India. "The Army brings them (lashkaris)... it is in their hands," he said.
On probing if the army is not letting information about the jihadis out and hides them, Mirpur Sp said,"Sir, that happens... Yes sir, they do that, we know. This is why the area has been cordoned off..."
India has not officially announced how many militants were killed in the strikes, only saying it managed to neutralise a "significant" number of terrorists. However, Islamabad has disputed the Indian claim of surgical strikes and said it lost two soldiers in cross-border firing by Indian troops that night.

Vincent L. Triggs Elementary School - Career Day
On May 20, 2016, Rob Naples, Vice President, and Neda Saeedy, Project Engineer, went to Vincent L. Triggs Elementary School to present at their 6th Annual Career Day. Rob and Neda presented to Kindergarten through Fifth Grade students about the daily responsibilities of a Structural Engineer. They brought visual aids specific to engineering such as a calculator, a set of drawings, a hard hat, a ruler, etc. They also stressed the importance of how the core subjects of reading, writing, and math are used in the engineering field, especially the fundamentals learned right there in elementary school.
During each session, Rob asked the group of students, "Who can tell me what an Engineer is or does?" He heard multiple answers like, they build stuff, they make things, they make cars, and (the ever popular) they drive trains. All are true, especially the part about the train, but there was one response that stuck with him. A third grade student said, "Engineers improve Humanity."
Those three words that came from a third grade student perfectly described why we do what we do. Engineers are critical to our world and the way in which it works. It is a broad field that transcends every industry and touches just about every aspect of day-to-day life. Without engineering, our world would be unrecognizable. And as is common with engineers, we can't explain to others what we do or why we do it as well as a 3rd Grader just did.
Overall, Career Day was a fun experience. The students were fun, engaging, and showed a lot of excitement. With any luck, they learned a few specifics about what a structural engineer does along the way. Hopefully, Innova will get the chance to talk to more students in the valley. Until then...
Let's keep improving humanity.

Throughout the past several months, I was consistently adding new, organic (from my head) written article (pages). I have about 70 links (domain.com/link1) and everyone of those 70 links, is a key all to its self. You know how Wikipedia talks about a subject, then every other word is a link all in its self? Should I do that to my page? Assuming it would be like one massive f'n link wheel? I can probably put like 20 links per page. Just wondering what peoples thoughts were on this.

We've added one more crib-world entity to the lineup! Joining us at Cribbage in the Field will be Tony Nelson, creator of a fantastic variation of the game known as CrossCribb. Voted by the Chicago Tribune as one of the top 10 new card/board games a few years back, CrossCribb "uses conventional cribbage scoring rules as you try to build five high scoring cribbage hands while simultaneously sabotaging your opponents' hands."
As variations go, it works well; anyone familiar with the basic rules of cribbage will immediately understand how CrossCribb works. Played on a 5×5 grid, players take turns drawing one card at a time and laying it onto the grid; one players score vertically, the other horizontally, so players must keep a keen eye on the scoreboard as both competitors try for the best hands while sabotaging their opponents'. CrossCribb is a fantastic addition to our Open Field event!
Hope you can make it!


text: Happy Tuesday everyone! I got this bird image from a stamp set that I received for my birthday 2 months ago and I have been dying to use the birdies! Now that I got the time, I decided to pick the sad bird. At first I didn't know what theme should I do and then I found the perfect sentiment in my stash! I did some copic colouring on the image and fuzzy cut it (is it just me that tries to save neenah solar white for images?--LOL) and restamped the image on a white cardstock from Michael's. I haven't used my background stamps in long time and I thought that the distressed looking "stains" work perfectly with the sad birdie. I feel that cards like such would be a great picker upper to anyone who is having a bad day or going through something (plus! it is gender neutral). I hope you guys enjoy this!

This extension far exceeded my expectations! I have over 60 links on a map image, they all work flawlessly and it is clean and professional looking.
Awesome extension and support!
We approached Virya Group because we were looking for another option to the company we'd used before. We wanted to make some updates and improvements to our site. A colleague had heard good feedback about Virya Group from other people, and we found them very professional. We had some initial ideas on the changes we wanted to make on our site and we presented those to Virya Group in an initial meeting. Afterwards, we thought "Wow! They really know their stuff!"
Wow! They really know their stuff!
I'm not sure why, but having been building Joomla sites for a few years, this is the first time I wanted to use an image map.
Thinking that image maps are such a basic building block of web design I looked for options - and there are very few. I looked at a couple before selecting this extension. It does everything it says on the box and then some. Incredibly simple to use.
Just what I needed!
Our company server went down at midnight, we were looking for emergency out of hours support and Virya was there to help when no one else was answering. Within 10 minutes an engineer was on the phone sorting it out.
Emergency Linux server support
We contacted Virya after being given 48 hours notice to resolve a spam issue on one of our servers. As the email came in while we were in Germany, it was difficult to deal with the problems on the go but Virya took control of the situation and managed to get all of our clients moved from our now-offline server to a brand new box and have everyone fully operational again within a few days of initial contact.
Ad-hoc Linux server support client
The session surpassed our expectation. We are now energised and excited about the possibilities for our business that lie ahead.

|talk turkey with me?

Hey Mike,
"Talk turkey"? Well, I'm much better with Italian foods. Would a "veal parmigiana chat" or "homemade gnocchi in a calamari red sauce discussion" be okay instead?
Do HIV medications work? Yes, but unfortunately not always. There is no doubt that since the mid-nineties, when more effective anti-HIV medications were introduced, and we learned how to combine them into potent cocktails (HAART= highly active antiretroviral therapy), the death rate from HIV/AIDS has plummeted. The medications are now highly effective in decreasing HIV's ability to replicate. Unfortunately, even though we can frequently knock HIV replication down to "undetectable" levels in the blood, we have not been able to completely eliminate the virus. That means no one has ever been "cured."
So why do I say the anti-HIV medications don't always work? There are 3 primary reasons:
1.Medication side effects and toxicities. A wide variety of unanticipated and definitely undesirable side effects and toxicities related to these medications have become increasingly apparent and problematic as more and more HIVers take these drugs for longer and longer periods of time. Not infrequently, these side effects/toxicities can be so severe that the medication must be changed or stopped.
2.Adherence. Various anti-HIV regimens can have a high pill burden or inconvenient medication requirements for dosing times or food restrictions. In order for these medications to remain effective, nearly perfect adherence is required. That means never (or at least extremely rarely) missing or skipping a dose. This is an incredible challenge considering we must take these drugs essentially for the rest of our lives, especially when many of the drugs can cause fatigue, diarrhea, lipodystrophy, and a wide variety of other very annoying, uncomfortable, and inconvenient symptoms.
3.Resistance. The virus, over time, can, and often does, learn how to become resistant to the medications. The chance of this happening increases when the virus is not suppressed to "undetectable" levels in the blood. The risk of developing resistance increases if the virus is allowed to replicate, as it does, for instance, when doses of anti-HIV medications are skipped or missed.
So, how long does an initial regimen last? That depends on many factors, including:
The strain of virus you have The effectiveness of the medications selected for the initial regimen (Was the virus resistant to one or more of them?) Tolerability (Can you tolerate the medications and their side effects/toxicities over the long haul?) Adherence (Can you adhere strictly to the medication regimen, dosing schedule and food restrictions?)
So, Mike, how long can you live? I don't know. I wish I had a crystal ball that worked, but I don't. I do have an old mirrored disco ball, but I don't think it will be much help. There are several things you can definitely do to increase your odds of dying of old age rather than HIV:
1.Work closely with a competent and compassionate HIV/AIDS specialist. The disco ball says, "Remember the Disco classic, 'I Need A Man'." (Although of course your HIV specialist can be either a man or a woman!)
2.Stay involved in the medical decision making by staying informed (i.e. reading The Body and other reputable HIV information sources) and maximizing your health (not smoking, decreasing stress, maintaining an excellent diet, getting appropriate rest/sleep and exercise, not abusing drugs, etc.) The disco ball says, remember the Village People and "YMCA" --- get out there and exercise!
3.Adhere strictly to your medication regimen. The disco ball says, "Don't rock the boat. Don't rock the boat baby. Don't rock the boat. Don't tip the boat over."
Finally, the disco ball says, "Think about Cher and 'Believe.'" If she can still look great in sequined stretch hip hugger-bellbottoms, stilettos, and a Bob Mackey feathered bra on her World Tour at age 56, well then we should be able to cope with HIV, HIV meds, and all the associated challenges. Don't you think?
Hey, maybe that old disco ball is a crystal ball after all. It's sparkling brilliantly and I think I hear Gloria Gaynor screaming, "I will survive!"
So, Mike, shall we dance? I think Babs and Donna are up next with "No More Tears Enough is Enough".
Stay well.

TV Ratings: 'Family Guy' and ABC's Reality Block Win a Slow Sunday
Getting a slight rebound from the previous Sunday's lows, ABC's broadcasts of Secret Millionaire and Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition drove the network to a demo win last night. Following an encore of America's Funniest Home Videos, both series were up three-tenths of a point, each earning a 1.5 rating among adults 18-49. ABC averaged a 1.4 adults rating and 4.8 million viewers over its four hours of programming.
Fox enjoyed the strongest demo broadcast of the night with the 9:30 p.m. encore of Family Guy. Ratings for the repeats of its animation block grew every half-hour before the last entry pulled a 1.8 among adults 18-49. The network earned a 1.2 adults rating for the night and 2.9 million viewers.
Coming in third among adults 18-49 was Univision, which averaged a 1.1 rating with the demo.
A slightly down Dateline earned a 1.1 rating among adults 18-49 before leading into encores of America's Got Talent. NBC averaged a 1.0 adults rating and 4.5 million viewers.
CBS encores averaged just a 0.7 rating among adults 18-49, though the network topped all others with total viewers, pulling in 5.5 million.

"My shop provides historically based finished instruments, performs restorations, repairs and instrument completions. I specialize in quilling with celcon for a dramatic increase in performance, sound and reliability. I have completed many unfinished instruments for clients who have not chosen to do so themselves for whatever reason. Repair and restoration work is performed with the intention of rendering instruments "concert" ready.
My clients here in the arid Western United States including the Aspen Music Festival and Institute, Denver School of the Arts and the University of Northern Colorado have the advantage of purchasing an instrument made from wood that has acclimated to a drier climate. All case and soundboard parts have air dried for at least seven years. Swiss pine soundboards may be as old as thirty years. After reaching my workshop these materials season for a further period of at least one month before construction begins. This insures stability of tuning and lessens the need for frequent and costly adjustments to the action. Instruments brought here from the wetter coastal areas invariably develop numerous splits and cracks in the soundboard and case. Conversely however, when I send an instrument from here to a moister environment, the wood merely expands a bit but does not break. You won't need to create a climate controlled music room for your harpsichord.
Over the past twenty-two years I have built forty+ early keyboard instruments. You may choose from several instruments including the painted French double harpsichord, Flemish single and double harpsichords, Italian harpsichord, a single manual harpsichord in hand oiled American cherry and a large or small clavichord.

Better Marriage Finances
Tips to Improve Money Issues
Even though we may be raised to believe that love is the foundation of a marital relationship, let's be real. Financial issues, if left unresolved, can ruin even the most successful marriages. When a couple's finances are not in order, it leaves both of them feeling insecure and can eventually lead the relationship into complete turmoil. To keep your marriage safe & enjoy a harmonious union, making financial stability a priority is of utmost importance. Some couples may prefer to get marriage finance counseling (always a beneficial thing) while others simply attend a finance seminar or read a few books or follow blogs that can guide them in making better decisions. Whatever you do, make sure your finances are in place to enjoy a great marriage.

Video: Captain Shamrock Spears His White Whale
Sorry the quality is so weak, but this seems to be the only existing video of Friday night's epic brawl between Ken Shamrock and Ross Clifton, which earned Shammy his first win since he knocked out Kimo Leopoldo at UFC 48 in 2004. We haven't found video of the Tank Abbott/Mike Bourke brawl yet, so if you come across a link, please hook us up in the comments section. Shamrock and Tank will meet at a future Wargods card, sometime in April — which means that one of them will soon be on a two-fight win streak.

Undercover agents posing as drug dealers sold 700 pounds of marijuana to three men outside a Delray Beach shopping mall on Thursday, then arrested them for drug trafficking, according to police reports.
Delray Beach police seized a total of $192,000 in cash, four guns, and three vehicles from the suspects during the reverse sting operation.
The two-weeek investigation by the organized crime bureau culminated at 5:30 p.m. Thursday when seven agents surrounded the suspects at the the Sherwood Park Plaza at Congress Avenue and 10th Street, said Sgt. Ross Licata.
Arrested were Gerald A. Watson, 38, of Northeast 5th Avenue, Boca Raton, Mark Trosclair, 32, of Karen Drive, Delray Beach, and Wolfgang H. Heuberger, 27, of 128th Street, North Miami.
All three were charged with trafficking in marijuana and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, and held in the Palm Beach County Jail. Watson was also charged with illegaly possessing a submachine gun.
During a court appearance Friday, Watson`s bail was reduced from $150,000 to $20,000. Trosclair`s bail was lowered from $150,000 to $50,000, and Heuberger`s from $250,000 to $25,000. All three were represented by their own attorneys.
Police said they would not release details of the investigation because more arrests are expected. But according to documents filed at the County Courthouse, Watson set up a deal with undercover agents to buy 700 pounds of marijuana for $175,000. Watson told the agents Trosclair and Heuberger would supply two cars to transport the marijuana, the documents state.
On Thursday, Watson and the agents drove two cars to an undisclosed location where the trunks of the cars were loaded with bales of marijuana wrapped in plastic bags, according to the documents, then returned to the mall parking lot, where Watson handed one agent a brown leather satchel packed with cash.

Even though all marked boat lanes are now considered safe with the lake elevation above 168 msl, boaters will need to use caution when running all lanes.
In the past after lengthy periods of low water we have found that logs, limbs, and other debris dry out and when the lake rises rapidly these things float and are moved around by winds.
SRA crews are currently working on boat lanes and will move any floating logs that they encounter.
Again, if you see wood or other objects in the boat lanes, it is floating but can still damage your boat or cause bodily harm. Please use caution.
Mike Carr
SRA Louisiana
Check Lake Level / Generating Schedule HERE
Boat Lanes / Buoy Marker System Information HERE
Boat Lane Maps HERE - includes update for 47 miles of North-South lane that was "refurbished" in 2011 to be safe to a level of 163' msl.
Boat Launches by Lake Level - Where to launch when the water is low
Marked Boat Lanes are considered safe for NORMAL LAKE LEVELS - 172' msl down to 168' msl
Unfortunately all of the boat lanes were not cut at the same lake level.
The stump cutters operated at approximately an 8 foot depth. This depth could vary due to limbs restricting the ability to get to the trunk. In those cases the operator may have to shallow up a foot or more to have access to the trunk.
So if that lane or portion of a lane was cut at a 172msl and considering the depth a prop hangs down below a boat, there are places that are dangerous below 168msl. Some areas of the lake were actually cut again during low water conditions and are good at very low water levels.(example: Pendleton Bridge to Cypress Bend Marina).
We believe the Texas buoys were placed without any cutting and are very dangerous at low levels as they tried to use the main river channel. It is always difficult to tell someone not familiar with Toledo Bend the differences between the Texas lanes and the Louisiana lanes.
There are also have marked lanes that will be dry or very near dry at extremely low levels. Demand from local residents has resulted in leaving these lanes marked as they [the locals] know what levels they can run.
In 2011, while the lake was so low, 47 miles of the main North-South boat wane was re-worked to be safe to a level of 163' msl. If the lake reaches very low levels again, there is a plan to fix more of the boat lanes for safety at lower levels.

City recreation officials will kick off a multi-day national conference on parks and recreation Sunday (Sept. 24) at the Lafitte Greenway, where they will also mark the expansion of the Greenway's Lemann Playground.

Nola Gets Protected Bike Lanes Almost Overnight
By: Angie Schmitt

That was Big Easy!
A New Orleans group is installing five protected, albeit temporary, bike lanes on key corridors as a demonstration of "how streets can be transformed to safely and equitably serve everyone who travels," the group Bike Easy said in a statement.
Three of the five routes are already laid down, thanks to volunteers. The total demonstration, which is called "Connect the Crescent," will measure almost four miles, and fill several gaps among the existing painted bike lanes.
"We've built a lot of bike lanes over the last 10 or so years but we're trying to make sure that they actually connect to each other and they're high quality," Bike Easy's Rob Henig Bell told Streetsblog.Read more
"Urban Parks' Emerging Role as Transportation Infrastructure"
By: Catherine Nagel (Contributor) and Kari E. Watkins (Contributor)
Source: Governing.com
In recent decades, once-struggling cities have been reimagining themselves by evolving from 20th-century-style manufacturing centers to 21st-century hubs of commerce and culture. While each city realizes its own evolution in its own way, one important ingredient of these transformations is consistent among them all: city parks. Like the cities that house them, urban parks take on different forms, from signature downtown parks to reclaimed industrial railways and corridors. Now these corridors, or linear parks, are coming to be recognized as an important part of modernized transportation systems, connecting neighborhoods and residents to new opportunities.
In New Orleans, for instance, residents use over 100 miles of walkable, bike-able pathways every day. Before Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005, New Orleans had just 10 miles of trail. In 2009, the city received $9.1 million from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Disaster Community Development Block Grant program, making the transformation of the Lafitte industrial corridor into the Lafitte Greenway possible with help from the Friends of Lafitte Greenway.
In 2015, its first full year of use, 272,000 people walked or bicycled the Greenway. That's an impressive number, but it contained a surprise: A study by the Georgia Institute of Technology showed that 80 percent of weekday morning and afternoon cyclists use the Greenway not for recreation but for transportation to and from work, school and shopping.
Linear parks like the Lafitte Greenway demonstrate what is possible when we fully consider the role of parks as transportation infrastructure. The Greenway concept is a roadmap to a more sustainable future for New Orleans, supporting public health, recreation, stormwater management, neighborhood investment and job opportunities through connections to low-cost public transportation.Read more

By this time next month, residents and tourists in New Orleans will be able to pick up a bicycle at one spot in the city and drop it off at another, the realization of a lengthy effort to diversify public transit in the city.
Officials this week revealed the 70 locations where 700 bicycles will be available as part of the city's first bike-sharing program, scheduled to start in December.
The sites are largely concentrated in the Central Business District, French Quarter and other neighborhoods along the Mississippi River, with some in Treme and near City Park.

A bicycle-friendly beer and wine garden on the Lafitte Greenway may start construction early next year, though the owners are still working on a name.
Crews have applied for construction permits with work hopefully starting in early January, developer Billy Good said.
The still-unnamed bar would have "adequate" vehicle parking and about 60 bicycle parking spots, plus a permeable outdoor patio – though live music is not planned for the venue. Site plans submitted to the city show space for an indoor bar and small mezzanine. Good said the outdoor patios will have 62 percent permeable space with trees, fire pits and heaters.Read more

For decades, a weedy strip coursed through New Orleans' historical heart, unnamed, underutilized and barely noticed except as a nuisance. All this changed two years ago, when the newly christened Lafitte Greenway opened new access to old neighborhoods and mended a gash in the urban fabric.
The linear movement of pedestrians and bicyclists on the Greenway today echoes that of vessels starting more than 220 years ago, at a time when New Orleans made some influential planning decisions.Read more
Mid City Messenger: Hagan-Lafitte drainage project adds rainwater storage under Easton Park, greenspace for stormwater runoff

A new drainage project meant to reduce flooding in the Hagan-Lafitte neighborhood is scheduled for next year. The project will replace outdated drainage pipes and add additional rainwater storage, while providing more greenspace for natural stormwater runoff.
Total construction will take 12 months, and crews should start March or April of next year. Green infrastructure is needed along the city's lowest-lying areas to "complement" the drainage systems already in place, Charles Allen, resilience outreach manager, said.

New Orleans Magazine: "Prospect 4: The Lotus in Spite of the Swamp"
By: John R Kemp | myneworleans.com| November 2, 2017
New Orleans is a city that celebrates creative souls and its place in the American psyche. It revels in its own history, real and imagined, and thinks of itself as a place like none other in North America. The existentialist novelist Walker Percy once described the city, his adopted hometown, as an island "cut adrift not only from the South but from the rest of Louisiana, somewhat like Mont Saint-Michel awash at high tide."
Percy's New Orleans, with its graceful patina of age, cultural history, architecture and almost smothering humid floral landscape, is a natural open-air art gallery. With that in mind, Prospect New Orleans has launched this year's international contemporary art triennial "Prospect.4: The Lotus in Spite of the Swamp."
The citywide art show, which runs November 18 to February 25 and is free to the public, explores the city's creative spirit in the visual and performing arts and its historical connections to Africa, the Caribbean and Europe. Billed as one the nation's largest triennial art exhibitions, Prospect.4 features artwork by 73 local, national and international artists from 25 countries in North America, Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, Asia, and Europe. New Orleans-area artists included in the Prospect.4 line up are Wayne Gonzales, Darryl Montana, Jennifer Odem, Quintron and Miss Pussycat, John T. Scott, Michel Varisco, Monique Verdin, and jazz legend Louis Armstrong. Yes, in addition to blowing a mean horn, Armstrong was also a talented visual artist.
