In 1980, the methadone clinic that had been treating Gloria Rubero as an outpatient dropped her. She was soon desperate for drugs. In August that year, she and an associate took part in a burglary that went wrong and led to the murder of an elderly neighbor.
Ms. Rubero was arrested three days later, and was eventually convicted of robbery and second-degree homicide. The judge at Ms. Rubero's trial gave her an indeterminate sentence of 20 years to life.
At the start of her jail term, Ms. Rubero felt suicidally depressed. But over time, she devoted herself to helping others.
In 1985, she became a founding member of the Youth Assistance Program and logged more than 200 hours of speaking to at-risk youth on the harshness of prison life. The following year, having witnessed the devastating impact of AIDS on prisoners and their families, Ms. Rubero helped start an AIDS education program at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility, which was adopted by the entire New York State prison system. Eventually, she gained certification as a counselor, both for drugs and H.I.V. testing.
Ms. Rubero also got an education: earning, first, her G.E.D.; and then, between 1992 and 1993, an associate in arts and a bachelor of science from Mercy College, in Dobbs Ferry, N.Y. She even made the dean's list.
At Bedford, she also joined the maintenance staff, and excelled at electrical and plumbing work. After she was transferred to Bayview Correctional Facility in 1998, the prison superintendent commended her contribution: "Bayview is a showcase for the work that you have completed," he wrote. So trusted was Ms. Rubero that she was accorded the very rare privilege of carrying tools like craft knives, screwdrivers and wire cutters.
Despite this record of rehabilitation, she was denied parole five times in a period of six years. Each time, the parole board concluded that Ms. Rubero could not be granted parole because the "serious" and "violent" nature of her crimes made her release "incompatible with the welfare and safety of the community."
In 1999, Ms. Rubero suffered several major strokes, and at a subsequent parole board hearing, she was unable to walk or talk. Yet she was still considered a danger to the community, and her application was denied.
Ms. Rubero gradually recovered, and finally, after her sixth hearing, was granted parole and walked out of prison. She was 56 and had spent 26 years behind bars.
Many incarcerated people would be the first to acknowledge the pain and loss their crimes caused. But if prisoners older than 50 have served decades-long sentences and have shown evidence of rehabilitation, the only rationale for holding them appears to be endless punishment and retribution.
The problem is growing as the American prison population gets grayer. By 2012, there were almost 125,000 inmates age 55 and older out of a total population of 2.3 million. Even as the overall prison population continues to decrease, it is estimated that by 2030, there will be more than 400,000 over 55s — a staggering increase from 1981, when there were only 8,853.
The numbers are rising despite recognition that continuing to lock up older prisoners not only does nothing to reduce crime, but is also expensive and inhumane. More and more aging people are becoming seriously ill and dying in prison. Prisons are not equipped to be nursing homes.
And there is mounting evidence that there is little, if any, public safety benefit to keeping people like Ms. Rubero in prison for so long. According to recent studies, a vast majority of people over 50 who are released from prison in the United States, including those with convictions for violent offenses, are much less likely to commit a crime than younger people who have never been incarcerated. Nationally, rearrests occur for only 2 percent of former prisoners over 50, and hardly at all among over-65s. Most people simply age out of crime.
If older people in prison pose so little danger, why not free them? As Ms. Rubero's experience suggests, a major reason is a resistance to granting parole.
The criteria of parole boards in states like New York include assessments of a prisoner's possible threat to public safety and her chances of reintegrating into society. Yet boards primarily base their decisions to deny on the seriousness of the crime for which the person was convicted.
Overlooking the fact that elderly people who have served long sentences are not a public safety risk, parole boards focus instead on the past criminal behavior. In effect, they prefer to resentence the prisoner rather than make a judgment about the individual's growth since entering prison.
What can be done to change course and stop spending billions of taxpayer dollars to keep people behind bars for excessive lengths of time?
An immediate first step would be for parole boards to give more weight to a prisoner's transformation since entering her incarceration. Indefinitely locking up prisoners who pose no security risk once they have served their minimum term and who could contribute more outside is an inexcusable waste of money and human potential.
For 26 years, Gloria Rubero worked to repair — literally — whatever was wrong in the prisons in which she was jailed. It ought to take much less time to fix an unjust and costly parole system.

A Busy Day in New York Harbor, circa 1934, video, below:
Hudson River Park, the longest waterfront park in the United States, has transformed four miles of decaying piers and parking lots along Manhattan's West side into a beloved, urban recreational paradise. Attracting 17 million visits each year, the Park offers a myriad of recreational and educational activities for local residents and visitors alike, and plays a critical role in protecting the Hudson River environment itself.
- Source: http://www.hudsonriverpark.org
Hudson River Park is a waterside park on the Hudson River that extends from 59th Street south to Battery Park in the New York City borough of Manhattan. Bicycle and pedestrian paths, including the Manhattan Waterfront Greenway, span the park north to south, opening up the waterfront for recreational use. The park includes tennis and soccer fields, batting cages, children's playground, dog run, recreational piers, and many other features.
Clinton Cove Park (Hudson River, from 55th to 57th Street) – This two-acre park – officially called Clinton Cove Section of Hudson River Park – is planted with lawns and shade trees and includes a public boat house at the waterfront and a number of other amenities. Among other things, park users have access to a café in the UnConvention Center, which borders the park on the south, and also to the public walkway extending out to the western end of Pier 94.

Piers 88, 90, 92, 93, and 94–
- The New York Passenger Ship Terminal (also known as the Luxury Liner Row or Manhattan Cruise Terminal or New York Cruise Terminal) is terminal for ocean going passenger ships on Manhattan's west side. The terminal consists of North River Piers 88, 90, 92 and 94 on the Hudson River between West 46th and West 54th Street. Ships now dock at Piers 88, 90 and 92. Pier 94 on the north side is now used for exhibition space. Pier 86, once used by United States Lines, is now home to the USS Intrepid. The piers are 1,100 feet long and 400 feet apart. They were first completed in 1935 to replace the Chelsea Piers as the city's luxury liner terminal. The new terminal was built to handle bigger ships that had outgrown the Chelsea Piers.The West Side Highway takes a small jog east from the piers to below West 42nd Street because when the terminal was built land had to be taken away from Manhattan to allow for longer piers. The US Army Corps of Engineers, who control the waterfront dimension, would not extend the pierhead line farther into the river, so the city extended the pier by cutting away at the land. The city earlier did this for the Chelsea Piers; however in Chelsea only landfill was taken away. At the Passenger Terminal actual Manhattan schist was taken away. Many major passenger ships have docked there, including the RMS Queen Mary 2 and Freedom of the Seas. The SS Normandie caught fire and subsequently capsized at its Pier 88 berth during World War II.

- USS Intrepid (CV/CVA/CVS-11), also known as The Fighting "I", is one of 24 Essex-class aircraft carriers built during World War II for the United States Navy. She is the fourth US Navy ship to bear the name. Commissioned in August 1943, Intrepid participated in several campaigns in the Pacific Theater of Operations, most notably the Battle of Leyte Gulf. Decommissioned shortly after the end of the war, she was modernized and recommissioned in the early 1950s as an attack carrier (CVA), and then eventually became an antisubmarine carrier (CVS). In her second career, she served mainly in the Atlantic, but also participated in the Vietnam War. Her notable achievements include being the recovery ship for a Mercury and a Gemini space mission. Because of her prominent role in battle, she was nicknamed "the Fighting I", while her often ill-luck and the time spent in dry dock for repairs earned her the nickname "the Dry I". Decommissioned in 1974, in 1982 Intrepid became the foundation of the Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museumin New York City.

Pier 66a –
- Historic Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Float Transfer Bridge. This structure, now eligible for the State and National Registers of Historic Places, was carefully restored by the New York State Department of Transportation and Hudson River Park Trust, in part through a federal transportation grant. Until the early 1970s, railroad cars used to float into Manhattan by barge, then link up with railroad tracks at the waterfront, and finally to warehouses located nearby. Before the advent of refrigeration, livestock was transported into Manhattan, then herded to the nearby Meat Market.
- Pier 66 Maritime: Just west of the Float Bridge is a barge and historic ship complex known as "Pier 66 Maritime." Owned and operated privately, this barge includes a cafe and boating operations of various types. Visitors to the barge can view and explore the historic Frying Pan and John J. Harvey (fireboat.org)vessels.
- The Lightship Frying Pan
- Built in 1928, Lightship #115, "Frying Pan," guarded its namesake, Frying Pan Shoals, 30 miles off Cape Fear, North Carolina, from 1930 to 1965. She is 133 fet and 3 inches in length with a 30 foot beam, and she is 632 gross tons.
- After being abandoned for 10 years while docked at an old oyster cannery in the Chesapeake Bay, we believe she sank due to a broken pipe. She was underwater for three years before being raised by salvors. Instead of going to the scrapyard, the ship was sold to its present owners. After tons of silt and shells were removed from the hull, the ship was outfitted with a new engine and, in 1989, was sailed to New York City.

Pier 63
- Pier 63 was the name for a former Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad railroad barge on the Hudson River in New York City, on the West Side of the borough of Manhattan. It was originally located near 23rd Street, adjacent to Chelsea Piers and Hudson River Park. It had been purchased from a used car salesman in Staten Island by John Krevey in October 1996 and delivered by a tugboat. This barge formerly carried railroad boxcars across the Hudson River before the advent of containerized freight or tunnels beneath the river. The land side of Pier 63 was formerly used as a freight transfer station for the Baltimore and Ohio railroad where freight was moved from the boxcars on the barges to local conveyance. In the spring of 2007 the barge was relocated from 23rd Street to Pier 66a at 26th Street, on the Hudson River, and was renamed Pier 66 Maritime. The barge currently has an Erie Lackawanna caboose on display.

Pier 61, Pier 60 and Pier 59–
- Chelsea Piers Entertainment and Sports Complex
- In 1910, the opening of the Chelsea Piers was marked with a ribbon cutting and speeches, including lots of back-patting after 30 long years of talk and 8 years of construction. Designed by the architectural firm of Warren and Wetmore, which was also designing Grand Central Terminal at the same time, the Chelsea Piers replaced a hodgepodge of run-down waterfront structures with a magnificent row of grand buildings embellished with pink granite facades.For the next 50 years, the Chelsea Piers served the needs of the New York port: first, as the city's premier passenger ship terminal; then as an embarkation point for soldiers departing for the battlefields of World Wars I and II; and finally, during the late 1950s and early 1960s, as a cargo terminal.In the early days, as docks for the famed White Star and Cunard lines, the Chelsea Piers welcomed most of the world's great liners. Sometimes, in the afternoons, one could see as many as twenty stacks, as five liners prepared to sail on the evening tide.At the same time that the rich and famous were arriving at the Chelsea Piers, so were the immigrants, many of whom traveled in steerage class and suffered extreme hardships, including incredible overcrowding and disease. New York City was the port of entry preferred by shipping lines for discharging their immigrant cargoes. By 1910, thousands of immigrants were arriving at the Hudson River shoreline everyday. Most ships came first to the Chelsea Piers, where the travelers were transferred to ferries for the final leg of their journey to Ellis Island and freedom. After that, the Chelsea Piers, like much of Manhattan's waterfront, became neglected maritime relics, made obsolete by the jet plane that whisked passengers across the Atlantic and the large container ships that required dock facilities and truck linkages that Manhattan could never provide.The redevelopment of the four surviving Chelsea Piers marks a major step in the rebirth of the Manhattan waterfront for public use and recreation, and returns these piers to the prominence they enjoyed during the early 20th Century when they were the center of international ocean liner travel.

- Pier 54 was one of a set of piers running along the West Side of Manhattan from West 12th to 23rd Street that made up the Chelsea Piers that was completed in 1910. It was designed by the architectural firm of Warren and Wetmore, which also designed Grand Central Terminal. The piers replaced a hodgepodge of run-down waterfront structures with a row of grand buildings embellished with pink granite facades. Components of the Chelsea Piers included the White Star Line in the north and the Cunard Line in the south. The Titanic was headed for Pier 59 (at about 18th Street).In April 1912 following the Titanic sinking the RMS Carpathia picked up survivors. The ship first went to the White Star piers where it discharged the Titanic's lifeboats that had been brought aboard before coming back to Pier 54 to discharge the passengers.The RMS Lusitania left the port in 1915 before being torpedoed and becoming the rallying cry for American involvement in World War I. The pier continued luxury liner service until the 1930s when a luxury liner row was built between West 44th and West 52nd Street to handle larger liners.The pier was used for troop ships during World War II. After the war it was used as part of the W. R. Grace and Company and United States Lines freight operations.In the 1980s plans were made to demolish it (and the rest of the Chelsea Piers) for the Westway highway. In 1991 the structure was torn down although it remained an open air pier and the entrance archway was preserved. A faded sign on the archway notes the name of the merged Cunard White Star line.

- The three-level pier, covering four square blocks, was built in 1963 when it was leased to the Holland America Line, which used it until 1973.
- Holland-America built the 14.5-acre square wharf to serve both the transatlantic passenger and cargo trade. It is the largest pier on the river. In the lobby, a 12-by-20-foot mural by Frank Nix shows a map of Europe with Holland America's ports of call and the four vessels that sailed under the name Rotterdam, as well as symbols including the Atomium built for the 1958 Brussels World's Fair. The company's Cruise Ship Lines used the pier by 1970, then relocated their headquarters to Seattle in 1983.
- Built by filling in several piers in 1963, Pier 40 was one of the last attempts by the City of New York to reinvest and retain some of the commercial cargo shipping industry on it's shores, which by the 1960's had all but abandoned Manhattan in favor of Brooklyn & New Jersey. Constructed with the most up-to-date technology in breakbulk cargo apparatus and conveniently located across the street from the terminus of the High Line Railroad at the St. Johns Freight Terminal, Pier 40 was used by the Holland America Line for several years before they ceased their freight operations in 1973.

Households struggle as lenders hike rates
Posted in Mortgage Interest Rates by Forest Hill Real Estate CENTRAL| Back to Main Blog Page
If the Bank of Canada decides to increase interest rates this week it will pile further pressure on millions of already-struggling households, while some lenders are already making changes to rates.
A survey from insolvency firm MNP reveals that almost half of respondents are within $200 of being unable to meet their monthly financial obligations.
The report shows that a third of households are already unable to meet their monthly costs with a similar share concerned about their levels of debt, 38% regretting taking on so much debt, and 55% not expecting to have a debt-free retirement.
Four in ten Canadians are concerned that they would be in financial trouble if interest rates rise much more; a third could be facing insolvency.
The Financial Post reports that RBC, TD and CIBC have all increased mortgage rates with 5-year fixed rate loans now above 5%.
Many economists are expecting BoC Governor Stephen Poloz to announce the first interest rate rise of 2018 on Wednesday.

I must confess, I did not know a lot about Sascha Frangilli. I saw some nice pictures passing by in the fashionfeeds and it was clear you have to visit Sascha's Design when you need a gown to steel the show. But I am glad I have had the chance to get to know her a little bit more, she being one of the designers of the EFA-AIFW2009 event.
And a funny surprise, like me she is dutch: "I am from Holland and live in the province Brabant nearby Breda. I originally come from 't Gooi, but lived all over the world (Australia, USA and France). I am single and live with my young daughter in a small town and work nearly full-time in RL."
Sascha opened her store in March last year and started designing in late 2007: "I bought the infamous Business in a Box around March/April 2007 and was totally disgusted with what I found inside. I wanted to make flexi dresses…. not flexified! Then around the summer of 2007 I finally got Photoshop on my pc and had an extremely hard time with it, as I have no graphic background whatsoever. It took me around 6 months on and off to figure out PS out. And the break-through came late December 2007. To make a long story short, I have been really designing since late 2007/early 2008."
Sascha Frangilli pictured by Connie Arida
For the EFA-AIFW2009 show you have to reproduce 4 outfits from the RL-show. The RL-designer describes her designs as follow: "My common designs are simple and wearable dresses. Those are most of the time made from the unusual choice of material." How far does your style meet this style? And can you replace yourself in this style and work with it?
Sascha: "Haha, well I make detailed ballroom gowns with skirts ranging from Man Killers (the infamous battleskirt) to sleek skirts. I try to make detailed clothing that can be worn for a very long time and that are timeless. I always include a minimum of 2-3 different flexi skirts so the new owner can always chose what kind of skirt she wants to wear. My designs are not really simple, I don´t make particular kind of dresses you could wear to the beach, but you sure as hell can wear them to any dance club/ballroom club."
You are placed in the theme "Soon" for the show. Do you have some feeling with this theme related to your common style? Does it fit you?
Sascha: "Like I said, I make timeless designs, so it could fit into any category, but no to be honest, I am not really into an avant-garde futuristic style."
The color of the designs you will create for this show is white. Do you use this color a lot? What is the special challenge for this color? Do you have a special connection with this color?
Sascha: "I myself prefer black and red, but I noticed a lot of my customers like white as well, so I always try to include the colour white in my range of colours. White is kind of hard to make on SL, unless you are wearing bodylights, LOL."

Plan a shopping trip to Sascha's Design! And if you are a fan of fashion shows, every week on Thursday evening Sascha hold a fashion show for a known or unknown designer at her store.
Sascha Frangilli is part of the designer team of the EFA-AIFW2009 show. Her creations will be presented in the theme "soon".

104 – Tired vs. Burned Out
On our coaching page a question was posed about how to know the difference between just being tired and needing rest, versus being tired and pushing through.
Damn good question!
I can honestly tell you that I'm tired when I first wake up and after the kids are in bed. But so is everyone else! Obviously! So, at those times, I literally say out loud, "Fuck that story" and I get up and move.
Midday is a warning sign for me. So, I do a shift move (more of that in podcast) and meditate. Then I honestly listen to my body and what it's telling me.
Depending on if I'm just tired, exhausted, or burned out then determines how I recover.
If I'm burned out, this does require a real check in my priorities. Because I love what I do, I don't get burned out unless I'm not staying on task with it. I love doing this podcast, I love adjusting, but I do get burned out when doing bookkeeping, or reports.
I talk more about this in my show so I hope you tune in because there are a lot of great points to avoiding burnout and how to recover fully.
Action Steps
- I know it's vulgar but sometimes you have to literally yell at yourself that you can overcome a momentary lack of motivation. If you're clear about what you want, you can tell these stories in your head to take a hike easier.
- Write out how you choose to recover in the areas of body, spirituality, business/work, and relationships. If you write it out, it's easier to stay committed!

System of Correction
The school is committed to its twin aims of character formation and academic excellence. Our policy of discipline is a positive one which seeks to help to build sound character and promote effective learning and development. This is best achieved in a school environment where students are clear about what is expected of them, the rationale behind the rules and regulations, and the consequences of their irresponsible behaviour.
The school gives clear signal to students that the school does not tolerate ill-discipline and expects good, positive behaviour from all.
Negative behaviour entails appropriate school response. Corrective action is carried out according to disciplinary guidelines formulated by the Discipline Committee. The following are some follow-up actions carried, which are not necessarily sequential.
- Teacher speaks to student: together with the advice and warning given, a change of behaviour or attitude is expected.
- Personal Detention: the teacher keeps the student back after school and assigns him/her extra work to do or unfinished work to complete.
- Supervised Detention: the Discipline Master or Discipline Teacher keeps and supervises the students back after school to complete the assignment given.
- Isolation in or out of classroom: the student is made to stand apart from the rest of the class. He/ she can still follow the lesson but will prevent him/her from distracting others.
- Referral to Teacher Counsellor: if the Form Teacher feels that the student's behaviour is due to other factors other than poor personal discipline, the matter will be brought up to the Teacher Counsellor for counselling.
- Phoning the parents/guardians: the Form Teacher, Discipline Master or Teacher Counsellor will keep them informed of the serious nature of the offence.
- Principal invites the parents/guardians to school: to discuss the matter.
- Corrective Work Order: the Discipline Master or Discipline Teacher keeps the student back after school and assigns him/her work order to do.
- Warning Letter: the Principal issues a warning letter to the parents/guardians.
- Suspension from school: depending on the seriousness of the cases, the Principal may decide to suspend the errant student for a stipulated period of time.
- Caning: depending on the gravity of the offences, the Principal may decide to cane the errant student in class or in the hall.
- Dismissal from school : if the student still does not make a positive change in behaviour and attitude despite of all actions taken, the Principal may after consultation decide to dismiss the student from school.

CLEVO Laptop Battery Articles & Tips
Upgrade my Netherlands CLEVO Laptop Battery from NiMH to Li-Ion
NiCad, NiMH and Li-Ion CLEVO laptop batteries are all fundamentally different from one another and cannot be substituted unless the laptop has been pre-configured from the manufacturer to accept more than one type of battery chemistry. Please refer to your manual to find out which rechargeable battery types the laptop device supports or use our CLEVO Battery Finder above to find all the compatible laptop batteries for your device. It will netherlandstomatically list all of the battery chemistries supported by your specific device. If your device does allow you to upgrade the battery from NiMH to Li-Ion, you will typically get longer run times.
For example, if your laptop uses a NI-MH battery that is 9.6 Volts, 4000mAh and the new li-ion laptop battery is 14.4 Volt, 3600mAh, then you will obtain longer run time with the li-ion battery.
Li-Ion: 14.4 Volts x 3.6 Amperes = 51.84 Watt Hours
Ni-MH: 9.6 Volts x 4 Amperes = 38.4 Watt Hours
The Li-Ion is stronger and has longer run time.
Click here for information on calculating CLEVO laptop battery run time.
How can I maximize the performance of my CLEVO laptop battery?
There are several steps you can take to help you get maximum performance from your laptop battery:
Prevent the Memory Effect - Keep the laptop battery healthy by fully charging and then fully discharging it at least once every two to three weeks. Exceptions to the rule are Li-Ion batteries which do not suffer from the memory effect.
Keep the CLEVO laptop Batteries Clean - It's a good idea to clean dirty battery contacts with a cotton swab and alcohol. This helps maintain a good connection between the battery and the portable device.
Exercise the Battery - Do not leave the battery dormant for long periods of time. We recommend using the battery at least once every two to three weeks. If a laptop battery has not been used for a long period of time, perform the new battery break in procedure described above.
Battery Storage - If you don't plan on using the laptop battery for a month or more, store it in a clean, dry, cool place away from heat and metal objects. NiCad, NiMH and Li-Ion batteries will self-discharge during storage; remember to recharge the batteries before use.
What is the run time of Replacement-laptop-battery.com's laptop battery?
CLEVO laptop batteries have two main ratings on them: Volts and Amperes. Becnetherlandsse size and weight of laptop batteries is limited when compared to larger batteries such as car batteries, most companies show their ratings with Volts and Milliamperes. One thousand Milliamperes equals 1 Ampere. When buying a battery, select batteries with the most Milliamperes (or mAh). Batteries are also rated by Watt-Hours, perhaps the simplest rating of all. This is found by multiplying the Volts and the Amperes together. For example:
14.4 Volts, 4000mAh (Note: 4000mAh is equal to 4.0 Amperes).
14.4 x 4.0 = 57.60 Watt-Hours
Watt-Hours signifies the energy needed to power one watt for one hour. This CLEVO laptop battery can power 57.60 watts for one hour. If your laptop runs at 20.50 watts, as an example, this laptop battery could power your laptop for 2.8 hours.

What preschooler do you know that doesn't love Play-Doh? This Play-Doh Alphabet is the perfect pre-writing activity to encourage them to learn their alphabet and how to spell their name.
Here is how my preschooler and I did this activity together:
First, we got out a few different Play-Doh colors, our alphabet cutters and our rolling pin. I helped him get his Play-Doh rolled out and flat enough to working with the cutters.
Once we had it rolled out, I had him find the first letter of his name in the pile of 26 letters. He then pressed the cutter into the dough on his own to make the letters. He picked it up and put it in an area that we were working to spell his name.
We continued rolling out the colors that he desired and he would find the letters for his name. We would work together to place the letters in the right spot to spell his name correctly.
By the time we were nearly finished, he wanted to do the 'o' all on his own. So he rolled out the dark purple Play-Doh and then used the cutter to get his last letter for his name.
He loved seeing his name spelled out in Play-Doh!
If you like this pre-writing activity, you may want to also try another one of my son's pre-writing activity with stamping!

Cruising the Corridor in the Summer of 1996
I drive to and from Anaheim Hills and Irvine on The Toll Roads every day. I love my congestion-free drive. But before you begin rolling your eyes at the gal who works for The Toll Roads, I've learned new reasons and meaning to love and appreciate my drive.
My commute is a free-flowing 25 minutes and provides ample stress-free time to call my Mom from my Bluetooth. I check-in; ask about her day, and how Dad and "the boys" (their three dogs) are doing. Our chats are always engaging and a relaxing way to end my work day, but one thing that never fails is Mom's daily question, "are you driving the corridor today?" to which I always reply, "Mom, it's called The Toll Road" (as if a teenager is scolding her Mom for not using cool lingo).
This week marks 20 years since the Transportation Corridor Agencies (TCA) opened the first phase of the San Joaquin Hills Transportation Corridor, known to most people as the 73 Toll Road. And in celebrating this milestone, the word corridor brings new meaning to me, my job and a drive that I don't take for granted.
In the summer of 1996, I didn't yet have my driver's license, but Mariah Carey's "Always Be My Baby" was a summer chart topper and "Macarena" was one of the coolest songs out there; Independence Day with Will Smith was also a box office hit. The Toll Roads – 51 miles of open road that serve as alternatives to Orange County's congested freeways – have always been part of my driving experience, and anyone who's been driving in Orange County since the late 90's, knows no different. But to my Mom, who still calls them "the corridors," they provide a much-needed sigh of relief to Orange County's gridlock and enhanced the county's transportation landscape while also preserving open space.
On July 20, 1996, TCA invited residents of Orange County to Cruise the Corridor as they celebrated the opening of the first phase of the San Joaquin Hills Transportation Corridor. I found the invitation and program as I dug through our archives. In the summer of '96, thousands of Orange County residents joined TCA for a fun run to experience the road before it opened to traffic and to celebrate 20 years of planning and nearly four years of construction. The new road was the first seven-mile stretch of a corridor that would ultimately take drivers 15 miles from Laguna Niguel to Newport Beach, providing a new transportation alternative to the 5 and 405 freeways.
Leading up to the opening of the new San Joaquin Hills Transportation Corridor, Mom read headlines about TCA's strong environmental programs used throughout construction and the innovative financing and planning to make the roads possible. The term "corridor" has always stuck with her. Back in the 90's, "corridor" was a modern term commonly used to describe multiple modes of transportation to move people, such as highways, rail and buses.
The San Joaquin Hills Transportation Corridor was the start of a link between South County and coastal cities and it has proven to be a valuable route. Although over time the name changed to the 73 Toll Road to reflect what the public called the new route, to Mom, it will always be the "corridor."
In celebrating this milestone, I've learned to appreciate how the "corridor" enhanced the quality of life in Orange County by cutting commute times, reducing rush-hour frustration and making Southern California destinations more accessible. In those 20 years while the county continued to grow and expand, the "corridor" has always served the same purpose – trips on the 73 Toll Road have more than doubled in 20 years, logging nearly 31 million transactions last year. It's hard to imagine what traffic would be like in Orange County without the 73 Toll Road!
So on my drive home when I call Mom tonight, I'll smile when she asks if I'm driving the corridor and I'll proudly respond, "yes, Mom, I'm cruising the corridor home today."
The Toll Roads: Where to Go & What to Know
School is out, bags are packed and summer vacation has officially begun. But before you hit the road for your family staycation or road trip, here's a list of the five things you need to know to beat the summer heat and SoCal traffic:
Don't Forget to Pack Your FasTrak® Transponder – The 73 Toll Road is a popular route for drivers traveling between Los Angeles and San Diego and the 241 Toll Road is a popular route to get to and from the Inland Empire, mountains and deserts to Orange County's beaches. Be sure you've packed your FasTrak transponder before hitting the road. Because not only can you use FasTrak to pay tolls when driving The Toll Roads in Orange County but it also works on all of California's tolled bridges, lanes and roads.
Paying Tolls Without an Account? There's An App for That. – The Toll Roads recently released a new and improved mobile app allowing you to pay tolls on the 73, 133, 241 and 261 Toll Roads in the palm of your hand if you don't have an account. Download the latest version of The Toll Roads' app by searching "the toll roads" in the Google Play and Apple App Stores and enjoy a stress-free drive in Orange County. You can also compare account types and sign up with the updated app.
Paying Tolls With a Rental Car is Now Easier than Ever – The Toll Roads have partnered with most major rental car companies to simplify toll payments by allowing tolls to be charged directly to your credit card through rental car agreements. The new rental car toll payment program, eligible only on State Routes 73, 133, 241 and 261 in Southern California, eliminates the chance of a rental car customer receiving a Notice of Toll Evasion after they return their rental vehicle. Visit our rental car page to learn more about options for rental car drivers, including steps to take if you're already a FasTrak or ExpressAccount® customer.
Calculate Your Tolls – Want to know what the cost is for a particular trip? Check out our online toll calculator to easily calculate your toll by selecting the road you will drive; your entry and exit points (choose "unknown" if you are not sure); how you will pay; and type of vehicle. Rates to drive on Orange County's Toll Roads will increase slightly on Friday, July 1, from one cent to 14 cents, depending on the location and time of travel. The toll calculator webpage also features a downloadable map and rate card.
Hosting Family & Friends? –If you're hosting out-of-town guests or renting or borrowing a vehicle, be sure to temporarily add the vehicle's license plate number to your FasTrak or ExpressAccount so they can drive The Toll Road without worrying to pay online.
Safe travels and enjoy your drive on The Toll Roads.
The Toll Roads Fans Spread The Love
In February, we showed our love for our drivers by giving away $50 in free toll credits to four lucky winners.
To be eligible to win, we asked drivers to "Like" The Toll Roads on Facebook and leave a comment on the page explaining what they love most about driving The Toll Roads.
We received more than one thousand entries and were overjoyed reading the comments.
One driver shared that she's been driving the 241 Toll Road every day for the past 10 years to avoid traffic on her commute. While The Toll Roads save her time, what she loves most about her drive is the view. In spring, the hills are green and flowers are growing and in the winter the mountain tops in the distance are covered in snow. In her day-to day-routine of city life, she told us her daily view of nature relaxes her and it's what she loves most about her drive every morning.
We received many comments from drivers sharing how The Toll Roads help them get to their destination on time with less stress and home to their families quicker at the end of a long day. The heart below displays the words used most in the responses we received.
Drivers also said:
- "I love the fact that it gets me to my grandkids faster. I spend less time on the road and get more time with them."
- "Light traffic, and the view of Catalina Island from the 73 can't be beat!"
- "I love it when I work longer than usual and get stuck right at the worst traffic times, then that feeling you get when you can hop on The Toll Road and breeze on through."
- "There's nothing like arriving home on a Friday evening in a stress free, relaxed mood after a long week of work!"
Thank you to all of our drivers who entered. We work hard everyday to ensure that you love your drive.
Why Dirt Matters
Most people don't think twice about roads, bridges or tunnels; at least not about how the structures were built or the materials that were used to construct them. And most people certainly don't think about dirt or give dirt the credit it deserves. Dirt matters – everything around us is supported by dirt, soil or rock.
The Transportation Corridor Agencies (TCA) is celebrating National Engineers Week (Feb. 21 – 27) by recognizing its engineering team on Facebook and celebrating how engineers make a difference in our communities. Paul Bopp and Juliet Su, both engineering managers at TCA, recently participated in the 2nd annual Girl's Engineering Day – Transporting the Future – at Dale Junior High School in Anaheim.
Hosted by WTS Orange County, an organization dedicated to the professional advancement of women in transportation; Transportation YOU, an interactive mentoring program that offers young girls ages 13-18 an introduction to a wide variety of transportation careers; and the Anaheim Unified School District, more than 100 young women, grades 7 to 12, from 16 schools participated in a fun and informative day introducing them to engineering and engineering-related fields.
Paul and Juliet led the Geotechnical Engineering station, providing an overview of why dirt matters; why foundations are critical to transportation projects; and how to select the best foundation to match the project soil conditions. Geotechnical engineering is a branch of civil engineering that deals with soil and rock and their relation to the design, construction and operation of engineering projects. Nearly all civil engineering projects, including roads, bridges and tunnels, must be supported by the ground and require geotechnical engineering. In short, dirt matters – for our future and growth of infrastructure.
Students used wood blocks and sticks to serve as foundations and pile supports in trays of sand and clay to compare how foundations behave with and without pile supports in each type of soil.
"It was incredibly rewarding to participate in Girls Engineering Day," said Juliet Su. "In an industry where men largely outnumber women, it's a wonderful opportunity to introduce the world of engineering and shape the mind, goals, and future of a young woman."
Everything around us is supported by dirt, soil or rock and geotechnical engineers are responsible for ensuring that. Paul and Juliet's hope is that these students become our next generation of civil engineers; but for now we'll never doubt dirt's importance – or look at a road, bridge or tunnel the same way.

Community Ascertainment Study Findings
In April 2015, the Foothill/Eastern Transportation Corridor Agency (F/ETCA) retained Sharon Browning and Associates to conduct a community ascertainment study to gather input and gain insight on how best to collaborate to address regional mobility challenges in South Orange County. The scope of the study was designed to develop an understanding of the community's definitions of the problem; priorities to be considered in proposing solutions; and preferences for process, planning and decision making.
In-person, confidential interviews were conducted with 45 residents and active community leaders — excluding elected officials — in cities and unincorporated areas in South Orange County. Topics of discussion included Interstate 5 (I-5) mobility challenges, describing the problem, exploring solutions including a need or no need for a State Route 241/I-5 connections, who should lead planning efforts and how planning should be led and exploring the need for consensus.
Below is a brief summary and analysis of the findings that will assist in developing a plan for achieving a consensus.
- The study analyzed the contents of each interview to identify areas of high agreement and areas of lack of agreement, in order for the F/ETCA to focus on areas of agreement in future regional traffic solution planning, particularly around relieving traffic on the I-5 corridor.
- The environment of the study included discussion around existing I-5 construction, the Avenida La Pata extension, and the local culture, political perspective, values and practices of each community.
- The study found high agreement in the community that excessive traffic congestion exists along the I-5, north and south from Oso Parkway to Cristianitos Road on weekends, during peak usage times and when accidents occur. The study confirmed the community is greatly concerned about this problem because of its negative impacts on quality of life.
- The study revealed the community is looking for increased engagement and choices at the local level.
- The study revealed that the community may not expect 100 percent consensus, rather an open, collaborative problem-solving process led by elected officials with community input.

After cash toll collection ended on Orange County's toll roads on May 14, a program was implemented to ease drivers' transition to the new all-electronic toll collection system. The transition program — originally put in place through the long Labor Day weekend — has been extended as The Toll Roads continue to evaluate data about usage, payments, feedback from customers and reports from customer service representatives.
"We will keep the transition program in place while we monitor how drivers are using the roads as summer winds down, tourism lightens and many people get back to their commuting routines," said Mike Kraman, acting CEO of The Toll Roads. "We also want to keep the transition program in place as we make improvements to our customer service functions to better serve our customers."
As part of the transition program:
• Penalty fees for first-time violations are waived if the tolls incurred are paid within 30 days of receiving a notice of toll evasion. Approximately 40 percent of violation notices are sent to people who have never before received a violation notice.
• Drivers without a pre-established tolling account can pay tolls online within seven days after driving the roads using the One-Time-Toll™ payment option. One-Time-Toll was developed to be used within 48 hours of driving the roads. Data is being reviewed to determine if the One-Time-Toll payment timeframe will be extended permanently.
The following improvements have been (or are being) implemented:
• Additional road signs have been installed. There are now 414 signs on the roadway informing drivers that they are on a tolled road; that cash is not accepted; that tolls can be paid electronically via a pre-established account or online using the One-Time-Toll payment option; and that a violation will be issued if tolls are not paid.
• Information about the closure of cash booths and how to pay online has been added to changeable message signs located on freeways leading to The Toll Roads.
• Information about the penalty relief for first-time violations is inserted into first-time violation notices. The notice also includes information about how to sign up for a FasTrak® or ExpressAccount® for future trips.
• To support the conversion, 14 employees were added to the customer service department. Six additional temporary customer service representatives have been added and 20 more are in the process of being added.
• Forty-six additional phone lines are being added to the customer call center. To accommodate callers.
• Adjustments have been made to information on the website to address common questions.
• Outreach programs to the general public; Spanish-speaking community; tourism industry; rental car agencies; seniors; college campuses; and military are being expanded and revamped as needed.
Approximately 250,000 people drive The Toll Roads every day as a way to avoid traffic congestion and save time. A majority of customers — 91 percent — pay with either a FasTrak, ExpressAccount or with the One-Time-Toll online payment feature. Since May 14, 65,269 ExpressAccounts® have been opened and 440,267 drivers have paid using One-Time-Toll™
Five ways to pay tolls on The Toll Roads:
1. FasTrak: Establish a prepaid account, pay tolls that are $1 less than all other drivers pay and receive a transponder that allows you to pay tolls electronically on every tolled bridge, lane and road in California.
2. Charge ExpressAccount: Establish an account with no prepayment. Drive The Toll Roads and your daily tolls are charged to your credit card. You cannot use this account to pay tolls on any other bridge, lane or road.
3. Invoice ExpressAccount: Establish an account with no prepayment. Drive The Toll Roads and, at the end of the month, receive an invoice for your accumulated tolls. This account includes an invoice fee. You cannot use this account to pay tolls on any other bridge, lane or road.
4. Prepaid ExpressAccount: Establish a prepaid account. Drive The Toll Roads and tolls are deducted from your prepaid account. You cannot use this account to pay tolls on any other bridge, lane or roads.
5. One-Time-Toll payment option: Drive The Toll Roads and within 48 hours after your drive, use our website or free app to pay your toll(s) with a credit card.
E-ZPass Phishing Scam Alert
Phishing Scam Alert: There is a phishing email* being sent to drivers across the nation claiming they owe money for unpaid E-ZPass tolls. This is not an email from The Toll Roads, the Transportation Corridor Agencies, E-ZPass or E-ZPass tolling agencies. E-ZPass is used to collect tolls electronically on the East Coast; FasTrak is used to collect tolls electronically on the West Coast.
Please do not open or respond to the email if you receive it. To see an example of the email, please click here.

The Toll Roads Update: All-Electronic Toll Collection
We've implemented a program to help drivers transition to all-electronic toll collection, which went into effect on May 14 when cash toll collection was removed from The Toll Roads (State Routes 73, 133, 241 and 261).
Through Labor Day, The Toll Roads are waiving penalty fees for first-time violators. First-time violators will receive a notice of toll evasion in the mail with instructions for how to pay the toll online, without having to pay penalty. The toll must be paid online within 30 days of receiving the notice of toll evasion.
Violators are drivers who use The Toll Roads without making an attempt to pay their toll(s). Everyday 250,000 people drive The Toll Roads – and most of them pay their tolls with FasTrak or an ExpressAccount.
For infrequent trips, the One-Time-Toll payment option allows drivers to use The Toll Roads without an account and pay the toll online at thetollroads.com or via The Toll Roads' free app within 48 hours after using the roads to avoid a violation.
To help all drivers transition to all-electronic toll collection, The Toll Roads have hired 10 additional customer service representatives to work in the Customer Call Center. With 14 customer service representatives added to the call center before May 14, there will soon be a total of 54 representatives helping customers in four languages.
Out on the roads, 236 new signs were posted with the conversion to cash-less tolling — of those, 111 are for One-Time-Toll drivers. Additional signs are being added and will include flashing lights to better alert drivers to changes and how to pay tolls.
Twenty years ago, the Transportation Corridor Agencies (TCA) made history when they planted 122 acres of coastal sage scrub on the former Coyote Canyon Landfill in Newport Beach, Calif. It was the first time that native habitat for an endangered species had ever been planted on a closed landfill. Today, it is a thriving habitat that supports native wildlife and requires no maintenance.
"Coyote Canyon proves to everyone that habitat restoration that is carefully planned and flawlessly executed can produce great results. It truly is one of the great environmental success stories in Orange County," said Rush Hill, mayor of Newport Beach and chairman of the San Joaquin Hills Transportation Corridor Agency.
Central Orange County's solid waste was disposed of at the Coyote Canyon Landfill for 27 years (1963 to 1990). During that time, more than 60 million cubic yards of waste were buried on approximately 395 acres. Since 1982, the gas produced by the decomposing waste has been fueling electricity production and currently generates roughly seven megawatts of power, supplying electricity for at least 6,000 homes for 32 years.
When it closed in 1990, Coyote Canyon Landfill's closure plan was the first in the nation to include specifications to create habitat for a federally-listed bird species, the California gnatcatcher. The landfill was designated as a special linkage for birds and animals between the San Joaquin Hills and Upper Newport Bay in the Nature Reserve of Orange County's Natural Community Conservation Plan.
"TCA spearheaded the restoration of the Coyote Canyon Landfill as mitigation for construction of the 73 Toll Road and because it is a critical part of a comprehensive plan to provide a wildlife link from the Back Bay to the San Joaquin Hills," added Hill. "The goal was to establish a resilient habitat that needed no maintenance after initial establishment."
Coastal sage scrub — a low-growing, aromatic and drought-deciduous shrub found in coastal California — developed across the landfill after seeding in the fall of 1994. Because coastal sage scrub includes deep-rooting plants, four and a half feet of soil was added on top of the Coyote Canyon Landfill to accommodate the habitat. Soil monitoring was conducted to ensure the native plants' moisture and roots did not negatively affect the landfill's clay cap and gas recovery system. The monitoring and resulting reports were the first demonstration in the southwest U.S. that native vegetation could be planted and maintained without compromising a landfill closure cover or gas recovery system.
Listed as "Threatened" by the federal government in 1993, the California gnatcatcher is a small, non-migratory bird that frequents dense coastal sage scrub. The first California gnatcatcher pair arrived at the Coyote Canyon Landfill ahead of schedule — just two years after the habitat was planted. By 1999, the site's fifth year, fifteen pairs of California gnatcatchers were successfully breeding in the habitat; 58 percent produced one brood successfully and 33 percent successfully produced two broods. These percentages were comparable to other populations in the region and the Coyote Canyon Landfill habitat was deemed acceptable as mitigation for the California gnatcatcher.
The coastal sage scrub habitat has met all federal permit requirements and the performance standards established by the Biological Opinion issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for the 73 Toll Road.
TCA is comprised of two joint powers authorities formed by the California legislature in 1986 to plan, finance, construct and operate Orange County's 67-mile public toll road system in the most environmentally sensitive way possible.
TCA has conserved and restored 15 locations in Orange County. Hundreds of birds and animals – including the California gnatcatcher – have found a safe home on TCA's more than 2,100 acres of coastal sage scrub, wetlands, riparian and salt-water marsh. At least 75 baby gnatcatchers, more than 40 species of birds, five species of rodents, 13 invertebrates and larger mammals such as coyote, bobcat and mountain lions utilize TCA's habitat mitigation areas.
Since 1996, TCA has been a proud participant and active contributor to the Central/Coastal Natural Community Conservation Plan (NCCP), a reserve created to set aside 38,783 acres of prime habitat in Orange County for 42 individual species. During the three years it took to create the plan, TCA contributed its mitigation sites to the reserve and provided $6.6 million of a $10 million endowment, which funds the ongoing management of the reserve. The goal of the NCCP is to conserve native animal and plant species while continuing to allow appropriate development and growth. An estimated 699 acres of TCA's mitigation areas are included within the reserve and the agencies plan to continue participation through ongoing oversight of the preserved lands.

Im Kunstraum - the Podcast of Kunstraum Niederoesterreich
Host: Katharina Brandl
Guest: Helena Eribenne
Research Assistant: Lena Schaller
Opener: Alexander Wieser | Sonobelle Recordings
Editing: Katharina Brandl
Image: Helena Eribenne © Christian Lauer
Episode 3: Über Emotionsmaschinen und einen Planeten auf der Intensivstation: Care Matters (German)
The third episode of our podcast "Im Kunstraum" is the recording of the panel discussion Care Matters, which took place on May 10 at Kunstraum Niederoesterreich as part of the exhibition TechnoCare. The artist Marlies Pöschl, the artistic-artificial intelligence Aurore and Elke Krasny, professor at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and co-curator of the exhibition Critical Care at the Architekturzentrum Wien (April 25 – September 09, 2019), will investigate Care as a curatorial and artistic practice in art and architecture. They will talk about emotion machines, about a planet in intensive care and why life with algorithms will not free us from the question of who should take away garbage after the revolution.
Before the discussion, which was moderated by Katharina Brandl and Friederike Zenker, the lecture performance Main, tenant / Hand, Holding of Les Maintenants & Marlies Poeschl took place. Enjoy!
