Advanced Smartphone Forensics
Excellent material for security professionals wanting a deeper level of knowledge on how to implement security policies, procedures, and defensive mechanisms in an organization.
Great course for people starting into security essentials.
It is almost impossible today to conduct a digital forensic investigation that does not include a smartphone or mobile device. Smartphones are replacing the need for a personal computer, and almost everyone owns at least one. The smartphone may be the only source of digital evidence tracing an individual's movements and motives, and thus can provide the who, what, when, where, why, and how behind a case. FOR585: Advanced Smartphone Forensics teaches real-life, hands-on skills that help digital forensic examiners, law enforcement officers, and information security professionals handle investigations involving even the most complex smartphones currently available.
The course focuses on smartphones as sources of evidence, providing students with the skills needed to handle mobile devices in a forensically sound manner, manipulate locked devices, understand the different technologies, discover malware, and analyze the results for use in digital investigations by diving deeper into the file systems of each smartphone. Students will be able to obtain actionable intelligence and recover and analyze data that commercial tools often miss for use in internal investigations, criminal and civil litigation, and security breach cases. Students will walk away with knowledge they can immediately put to use on their next smartphone investigation.
FOR585: Advanced Smartphone Forensics you will learn:
- Smartphone Capabilities: Determine the who, what, when, where, why, and how of a case. Who used a smartphone? What did the user do on a smartphone? Where was the smartphone located at key times? What online activities did the user conduct using a smartphone, and when?
- How to Recover Deleted Data: Use manual decoding techniques to recover deleted data stored on smartphones and mobile devices.
- How to Detect Data Stored in Third-Party Applications: Who did the user communicate with using a smartphone and why are these activities sometimes hidden?
- How to Detect Malware: Detect smartphones compromised by malware using forensics methods.
- How to Bypass Locks: Bypass, crack, and/or decode lock codes manually recovered from smartphones, including cracking iOS backup files that were encrypted with iTunes.
The hands-on exercises in this course cover the best commercial and open-source tools available to conduct smartphone and mobile device forensics, and provide detailed instructions on how to manually decode data that tools sometimes overlook. The course will prepare you to recover and reconstruct events relating to illegal or unauthorized activities, determine if a smartphone has been compromised with malware or spyware, and provide your organization with the capability to use evidence from smartphones.
This intensive six-day course will take your mobile device forensics knowledge and abilities to the next level. Smartphone technologies are new and constantly changing, most forensics professionals are unfamiliar with the data formats. It is time for the good guys to get smarter and for the bad guys to know that their texts and apps can and will be used against them!

Author Statement
"Digital forensic investigations almost always involve a smartphone or mobile device. Often, the smartphone is the only form of digital evidence relating to the investigation and is the most personal device a person owns! Let's be honest: how many people share their smartphones like they do computers? Not many. Knowing how to recover all of the data residing on the smartphone is now an expectation in our field, and examiners must understand the fundamentals of smartphone handling, data recovery, accessing locked devices, and manually recovering data hiding in the background on the device. FOR585: Advanced Smartphone Forensics provides this required knowledge to beginners in mobile device forensics and to mobile device experts. This course has something to offer everyone!" - Heather Mahalik
"One thing is clear no matter whether you work in law enforcement or the private sector: the importance of evidence obtained from smartphones and other mobile devices has become crucial to all kinds of investigations. Solid foundational knowledge, skills, and techniques in mobile device forensics are no longer optional. Developed by passionate practitioners with a high level of experience in the field, FOR585: Advanced Smartphone Forensics provides the elements you need to succeed in your investigations and thrive in the rapidly changing mobile device forensics environment." - Cindy Murphy
"Eighty-five percent of the world's population today has a mobile phone. In the United States alone, almost half of these devices are smartphones. The tools and techniques for acquiring and analyzing these devices are changing every day. As the handsets become more sophisticated in the storage and obfuscation of personal user data, the tools and practitioners are in a race to uncover data related to investigations. The concepts covered in FOR585: Advanced Smartphone Forensics will not only highlight some of the best tools available for acquiring and analyzing the smart devices on the market today, they will also provide examiners with best practices and techniques for delving deeper into smart devices as new applications and challenges arise. FOR585 keeps students ahead of the curve!" - Domenica Crognale

What is the Child Nutrition Act?
The Child Nutrition Act governs the School Lunch and Breakfast Programs, WIC, and other federal programs that provide food and nutrition education to children and families. Congress authorizes the legislation every 5 years. The current bill expires on October 1, 2015. Read More
Why is this bill important?
This is a once in a five year opportunity to make improvements to programs that feed and educate millions of children from infancy through adolescence. In New York State alone, over 1.8 million children eat school lunch every day, and nearly half of those meals are eaten in NYC public schools.
We are leading an action campaign for New Yorkers to engage in this debate.Read More

Kiwi Russell Coutts fought off terrible salt-aggravated boils to win the Finn gold from American John Bertrand.
Brazil's Torben Grael made his Olympic debut in the Soling class taking silver. By 2004, Grael had won a medal in five of his six Games, missing out in 1992 with an 11th. From 1988 onwards, he moved from the silver medal winning Soling to the Star and won a further two bronze and two gold medals.
Spain's Jose-Luis Doreste won the 470 gold yet many remember 1984 as the year when Briton Cathy Foster, crewed by Pete Newlands, won a race against an all-male fleet in an Open Olympic class, finishing seventh overall in a 28 boat competition.
Near Perfection For Home Sailors
The American team had a near faultless Olympic sailing competition as they picked up medals in all of the Olympic sailing events with three gold medals and four silver medals.
Jonathan McKee took the Flying Dutchman title with Carl Buchan his crew, whilst Buchan Snr, Bill, won the Stars with Stevie Erickson as crew. Robbie Haines, crewed by Rod Davis and Ed Trevelyn took the Soling title.
Their medal sweep had not been seen since Stockholm 1912 when hosts Sweden picked up medals in all classes. The Americans nearly did it again at Barcelona 1992 as they secured nine medals in ten events but the feat has never been done by anyone since. And with a wide distribution of talent worldwide it will take a fantastic team to do it again.

Windsurfing Comes Into The Fray
Sailing gained a seventh event for Los Angeles 1984 in windsurfing using the new Windglider class. It proved to be an immediate success with a fleet of 38 turning out, 10 more than the already established 470 and Finn class.
With the Olympic course measuring nine nautical miles there was an emphasis on competitors strength and speed to take the top honours. And it went the way of the Netherlands Stephan van den Berg followed by America's Randall Scott Steele and Brune Kendall (NZL).
Youth Sailing Legacy
The United Airlines Olympic Youth Sailing Program provided instruction including: safety terms and precautions, boat handling and navigation techniques and introduction to competitive sailing to youths between the ages of 12-17. The program ran successfully for three summers and, in 1984, also included boardsailing instruction.
The courses were organized into five day sessions which took place at three water sites in the Los Angeles and Long Beach areas. Each summer the most promising young sailors from each site who had received at least 15 hours of sailing and water safety instruction were eligible to be selected as one of 60 participants in the final regatta. The 1983 sailing competition was held on a modified Olympic Triangle Course in Long Beach, site of the 1984 Olympic Sailing competition.
The Future
An eighth event was added to the 1988 Olympic Games, and Seoul, Korea welcomed a Women's 470 division to address the low number of females sailing.

Clarksville resident Tatyana McFadden won the women's wheelchair division of the Boston Marathon on Monday, hours before the race was marred by deadly explosions near the finish line.
Though McFadden added to her resume as one of the elite Paralympic athletes in the world, her achievement was rapidly overshadowed by scenes of blood and mayhem. She tweeted that she was unharmed, about an hour after the initial reports of the explosions.
"I am okay my family and teammates are okay," she wrote. "Please please pray for those who were running and got hit by the bomb."
McFadden, competing for the first time in one of the world's most prestigious marathons, said she struggled to catch the lead pack for the first half of the race but was inspired by huge crowds at the course's famed "Heartbreak Hill."
"You can tune out the fatigue in your muscles," she said after the race but before the explosions. "The energy of the crowd, the cheering, they knew everyone's name. … Having their support really got me through it."
"She's always been afraid to try Boston," said McFadden's mother, Deborah. "There are so many hills, and she doesn't like going down hills."
But as she often has in her life, McFadden won regardless. She didn't plan to celebrate long. Instead, she was set to get on a plane for London, where she plans to run in that city's marathon on Sunday, also her 24th birthday.
She hopes to win the Boston, London, New York and Chicago marathons in the same year. Oh, and she's also training to compete in her first Winter Paralympics next March in Russia, the country from which she was adopted as a young girl. She only took up cross-country skiing in December but within a month, she was a national champion.
"She's just so strong," said her mother, with a note of disbelief. "I tell her she needs to stop picking up sports. But when she competes, like she did today, she just comes back beaming.
Other winners at the marathon included Lelisa Desisa of Ethiopia in the men's footrace, Rita Jeptoo of Kenya in the women's footrace and Hiroyuki Yamamoto of Japan in the men's wheelchair.
When McFadden emerged as a top athlete at the 2004 Athens Paralympics, she was a pure sprinter, winning silver in the 100 meters and bronze in the 200 meters at age 15. She added four more medals in shorter races at the 2008 Beijing Paralympics.
McFadden was a student at the University of Illinois in 2009 when she entered the Chicago Marathon — just for fun.
She won.
"When I started running marathons, it was an addiction," she said in an interview last year. "I loved it."
She added victories at the New York City Marathon in 2010 and at the Chicago and London Marathons in 2011. At the 2012 London Paralympics, she attempted a remarkable schedule that ranged from the 100-meter sprint to the marathon, all in seven days.
McFadden came back from London with three gold medals and a bronze. But she finished ninth in the marathon after two tire punctures cost her a mid-race lead.
Even setting aside her victories on the world stage, McFadden's biography is remarkable. She was born in St. Petersburg, Russia, with spina bifida that left her paralyzed from the waist down. Her mother Deborah, a commissioner of disabilities for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, spotted Tatyana at an orphanage while on an aid mission to Russia. She adopted the 6-year-old and brought her to Maryland, where improved health revealed an athletic prodigy.
In 2005, McFadden made headlines with her legal battle to compete beside able-bodied athletes at Atholton High in Howard County. The case went to federal court, where McFadden won, leading Maryland to pass the Fitness and Athletic Equity for Students with Disabilities Act in 2008.
She expects to earn her degree in child development from Illinois in December. But her mother sees no end in sight for her remarkable athletic career.
"It makes her happy," Deborah McFadden said.

The working class divides the spoils; more Designated Reads
In the dystopian future of the Big East, BBVA Compass Bowl trophies will be a highly valued currency. (AP)
• "Group of five" still just sounds so ominous. Jeremy Fowler reports on the coalescing system the Big East, Conference USA, MAC, Mountain West and Sun Belt are working on to distribute playoff revenue from the new postseason system:
In this proposed system, more than half the group's roughly $86-million playoff pot would be distributed among the Big East, Mountain West, Mid-American Conference, Conference USA and Sun Belt as guaranteed base shares, according to a source with direct knowledge of the discussions. The source expects those shares to be evenly split, but added discussions are ongoing. The second tier pays out based on a conference's body of work -- the top conference gets the highest amount, then "X" amount for the next-rated conference, and on down. The third tier pays a kicker to the conference with the highest-ranked team, which is guaranteed an access bowl bid or, if among the top-four teams in the country, a semifinal berth in the playoff.

It claims Penn State and The Second Mile "turned a blind eye to Sandusky's sexual exploitation" of children and "fostered a culture and/or code of silence" that kept abuse allegations from being reported.

OTTAWA - The Conservative government is pointing to a new greenhouse-gas report as a sign that the economy's rebound from recession did not come at the expense of the environment.
New figures released Wednesday show greenhouse gases remained stable in 2010 even as the economy grew. Emissions rose by just two megatonnes, or 0.25 per cent, to 692 megatonnes, while the economy grew by 3.2 per cent.
Emissions fell in 2008 and 2009 during the global recession and were expected to rise as the economy recovered.
"Through a responsible and practical approach to managing both the environment and the economy we will continue on this path," Environment Minister Peter Kent said in Toronto.
"This is not a blip, this is a continuing trend."
Canada has signed on to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and must report each year on its greenhouse gases.
Last year's report caused a stir because it left out data showing a rise in greenhouse-gas emissions from the oilsands. The previous year's inventory included a breakdown of oilsands emissions.
This year's report is being released just days after Prime Minister Stephen Harper's Conservatives axed an independent advisory body that used to track greenhouse-gas emissions, among other things.
The National Roundtable on the Environment and the Economy was a casualty of the latest Tory budget. The roundtable has publicly challenged the Conservatives in the past on the effectiveness of its policies to reduce greenhouse gases.
Canada's emissions peaked at 751 megatonnes in 2007. The energy and transportation sectors are responsible for the rise in emissions over the last two decades.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper's Conservatives have set a goal of lowering greenhouse-gas emissions 17 per cent below 2005 levels by 2020, or down to 607 megatonnes.
But a report posted on Environment Canada's website says even if all the government's actions are taken into account, and all the provinces' actions are factored in, Canada will only get a quarter of the way to meeting its 2020 goal.
"Environment Canada admits that the current policies of federal and provincial governments will only achieve one quarter of the necessary reduction to hit the Harper government's own climate target," Keith Stewart of Greenpeace Canada wrote in an email.
But the environment minister insisted Canada is actually closer to reaching its 2020 goal.
"That was last year's data," Kent said. "In the middle of last year, our scientists estimated that we were, with current regulations in place at the time, that we were about a quarter of the way.
"Although I don't have the hard figures yet for this year ... I think that you will see that we are somewhere between 30 and 40 per cent now towards hitting our 2020 targets."
That target has changed over the years. Under the Kyoto Protocol signed by Jean Chretien's Liberal government, Canada would have been required to meet a tougher target. But the Liberals and later the Conservatives ignored the Kyoto target.
The Tories always insisted that meeting Canada's Kyoto commitments would tank the economy. A few hours after returning from marathon UN climate talks in South Africa in December, Kent announced Canada was pulling out of Kyoto for good.
Environmental groups accused the Conservatives of using the annual inventory report to put a shine on soot.
"Who cares," said John Bennett of the Sierra Club. "Without a cap on industrial emission leading to a rapid decline in emissions, a minor drop is meaningless.
"Canada promised future generations to lower its emissions to about 550 megatonnes by 2012 (and) they are at 692. There is nothing to brag about here."

Courtyard at the Picasso Museum in Malaga
The opening of the Picasso Museum has been a real revolution in the options open to tourists visiting Malaga. Now, not only is it capital of the Costa del Sol, but also a cultural reference at national and international level. Since its opening on 27 October 2003, the museum has surpassed the most optimistic forecasts, enabling visitors to enjoy over two hundred major works by an artist considered to be the towering genius of 20th-century world painting.
The permanent collection open to visitors at the Picasso Museum is Spain's largest exhibition of this brilliant Malaga artist's work. More than 200 paintings, drawings, sculptures, ceramics and engravings bear witness to the long, prolific career of the artist, from his academic roots to the last paintings of the 1960s. The majority of works are donated from the private collections of Christine Ruiz-Picasso, the artist's daughter-in-law, and Bernard Ruiz-Picasso, his grandson. During their visit to the museum's twelve exhibition rooms, visitors can enjoy some works previously unseen by the public such as the paintings Naturaleza muerta geométrica con partitura (Dead geometrical nature with score) (1921) and Olga sentada (Olga in an armchair) (1923).
In addition to the museum's permanent collection, there is also a select programme of temporary exhibitions.
Buenavista Palace
In addition to viewing Picasso's work, the museum also offers visitors the chance to visit an elegant complex of buildings whose main attraction is the Buenavista Palace. It is an excellent example of 16th century Andalusian civil architecture, combining elements of Renaissance and Mudejar styles. Picasso chose this building as the possible site for a museum in the city of his birth back in 1953. Designated National Monument, the palace houses not only the permanent collection, but also a projection room, bookshop and opens onto the garden, a perfect spot to relax and have some light refreshments.
In 1998, while the building was being refurbished and equipped, important Phoenician, Roman and Moorish ruins were discovered. The majority of the artifacts found are on display inside. The museum complex also includes some twenty refurbished historic buildings alongside the palace. In this way the exceptional art gallery is fully integrated in Malaga's historic old town, at the foot of its famous Alcazaba (fortress) and next to the Roman theatre and Renaissance cathedral.
Picasso inherited Malaga's rich cultural heritage. A stroll through the Costa del Sol's capital will help you understand how the brilliant artist relates to his cultural roots. In the Plaza de la Merced (square), also located in the old town, you can find the house where Picasso was born, along with Santiago church, where he was baptized. Also nearby is the Judería neighbourhood, which has been recovered thanks to the gallery project. All these are emblematic sites that inspired much of the work of Picasso, considered the greatest genius of 20th century universal art.
Malaga and Picasso, soul and feeling united in an explosion of colour, beauty and art, enchanting visitors with their Mediterranean passion.

Abu Mahmud Hamid ibn al-Khidr Al-Khujandi
Born: about 940 in Khudzhand, Tajikistan
Died: 1000
|Main Index
|Biographies index
Few facts about al-Khujandi's life are known. What little we know comes through his writings which have survived and also some comments made by Nasir al-din al-Tusi. From al-Tusi's comments we can be fairly certain that al-Khujandi came from the city of Khudzhand. The city lies along both banks of the Syrdarya river, at the entrance to the fertile Fergana Valley, and it was captured by the Arabs in the 8th century. Al-Tusi says that al-Khujandi was one of the rulers of the Mongol tribe in that region so he must have come from the nobility.
Al-Khujandi was supported in his scientific work for most of his life by members of the Buyid dynasty. The dynasty came to power in 945 when Ahmad ad-Dawlah occupied the 'Abbasid capital of Baghdad. Members of Ahmad ad-Dawlah's family became rulers in different provinces and there was never a great deal of cohesion in the Buyid empire. Al-Khujandi received patronage from Fakhr ad-Dawlah who ruled from 976 to 997.
It was Fakhr ad-Dawlah who supported al-Khujandi in his major project to construct a huge mural sextant for his observatory at Rayy, which is near modern Tehran. It was believed by many Arabic scientists that the larger an instrument was, the more accurate were the results obtained. In fact al-Khujandi's mural sextant was his own invention and it did break new ground in having a scale which indicated seconds, a level of accuracy never before attempted.
During the year 994 al-Khujandi used the very large instrument to observe a series of meridian transits of the sun near the solstices. He used these observations, made on 16 and 17 June 994 for the summer solstice and 14 and 17 December 994 for the winter solstice, to calculate the obliquity of the ecliptic, and the latitude of Rayy. He described his measurements in detail in a treatise On the obliquity of the ecliptic and the latitudes of the cities.
From his observations he obtained 23° 32' 19" for the obliquity of the ecliptic. This value was lower than values obtained previously [1]:-
Al-Khujandi says that the Indians found the greatest obliquity of the ecliptic, 24° ; Ptolemy 23° 51' ; himself 23° 32' 19". These divergent values cannot be due to defective instruments. Actually the obliquity of the ecliptic is not constant; it is a decreasing quantity.There is, however, an error in al-Khujandi's value for the obliquity of the ecliptic; it is about two minutes too low. The error was discussed by al-Biruni in his Tahdid where he claimed that the aperture of the sextant settled about one span in the course of al-Khujandi's observations due to the weight of the instrument. Al-Biruni is almost certainly correct in pinpointing the cause of the error. However, al-Khujandi's latitude for Rayy, 35° 34' 38.45", despite being calculated using his erroneous value for the obliquity of the ecliptic, is accurate to the nearest minute of arc.
It remains for us to discuss the claim that al-Khujandi discovered the sine theorem. The claim was made by al-Tusi who gives al-Khujandi's proof of the result for spherical triangles in his Shakl al-qatta. Although there is no reason to doubt al-Tusi that the proof he gives does indeed come from al-Khujandi there is quite a few reason to believe that one of Abu'l-Wafa or Abu Nasr Mansur was the original discoverer.
Both Abu'l-Wafa and Abu Nasr Mansur claim to have discovered the sine theorem while, as far as we are aware, al-Khujandi makes no such claim. Also al-Khujandi was more of a designer of astronomical instruments and an astronomical observer than he was theoretician. Finally, although this really proves little, the theorem appears many times in the writings of Abu Nasr Mansur: both his writings on geometry as well as those on astronomy.
We should make one final comment on the mathematical contributions of al-Khujandi. He stated Fermat's Last Theorem in the case n = 3 although, not surprisingly, his proof is wrong. Al-Khazin wrote:-
I demonstrated earlier ... that what Abu Muhammad al-Khujandi advanced - may God have mercy on him - in his demonstration that the sum of two cubic numbers is not a cube, is defective and incorrect.It is certainly interesting that al-Khujandi, despite his practical rather than theoretical achievements, should be interested in this number theory result.

Bernie Fowler measures a sneaker index of 34 inches at annual wade-in
Each year, the former state senator wades into the Patuxent River to bring attention to Chesapeake Bay restoration.
by Catherine Krikstan
June 12, 2013
Former Maryland State Senator Bernie Fowler saw his sneakers through 34 inches of water at the 26th annual Patuxent River Wade-In on June 9. This marks a one-inch drop from last year's "sneaker index," which is what Fowler has come to call the deepest point at which he can still see his shoes as he wades into the water.
Fowler holds the wade-in each year to bring attention to the polluted waters of the Patuxent River and the Chesapeake Bay. This year marked the fourth wade-in to be held at Jefferson Patterson Park and Museum, after decades on Broomes Island.
In the 1950s, Fowler could wade into the Patuxent up to his chest and still see fish, shellfish and underwater grasses. But as nutrient and sediment pollution are pushed into the river, algae blooms and suspended silt block sunlight from reaching the river bottom and degrade water clarity. The 1950s sneaker index of 63 inches now serves as the benchmark for a restored Patuxent River.
Fowler's infamous white sneakers were retired before this year's wade-in, but will be preserved for permanent display at the Calvert Marine Museum.

This is cool!
Hi John,
The Patuxent River Wade-In is an annual event, and has inspired several local governments and watershed organizations to hold wade-ins on their own waterways! You can learn more here: http://www.mdp.state.md.us/OurWork/FowlerWadeIn.shtml
Is this an annual event that is recommended for other localities to participate in?

In the next 10 years, funding needs for transportation are projected to be $8.1 billion, exceeding available funding from all sources. Ask questions and share ideas about county transportation needs, priorities and revenue options during the Ask Fairfax! chat on Wednesday, Oct. 10 at noon.
Tom Biesiadny
Good afternoon! Thank you for taking the time to participate in our Ask Fairfax Chat on transportation funding options. I'm Tom Biesiadny, the Director of Fairfax County's Department of Transportation.
The Board of Supervisors is interested in your feedback on 20 different transportation revenue options. These may be used to address a $300 million annual shortfall between the County's transportation funding needs and available revenues. Each of the revenue sources is described in detail at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/fcdot/cdot/funding/
I look forward to your questions.
Anonymous User
Why are only new revenue sources being considered for transportation? This county spends more on many programs that are less important than transportation, such as the subsidized housing programs, buying land for new parks when we have enough, tax incentives for developers, tax reduction programs for seniors, etc. Reducing or eliminating these nice, but lower priority programs, would allow funding for transportation without any new or increased taxes.
Tom Biesiadny
This effort is focused primarily on transportation funding. You are correct that each year the County Executive and the Board must decide how much money should be spent on a variety of programs and services included in the County budget. We are a large county with very diverse needs. Regardless of whether there are additional revenues raised for transportation, the various priorities in the budget will continue to be considered annually. The County currently spends about $280 million on transportation projects and services annually from existing local revenue sources. We will include your suggestion with the survey results that are sent to the Board for their consideration.
When is the county going to get around to repainting the crosswalk in front of Weyanoke Elementary School on Braddock Road? Very dangerous intersection in front of a school with no crosswalk is unacceptable, particularly since the rest of the lines were repainted soon after the repaving was completed back in August.
Tom Biesiadny
This sounds like this relates to a repaving project. As you may know maintenance of roads in Fairfax County is handled by the Virginia Department of Transportation. We will contact VDOT to find out why the crosswalk hasn't been painted and ask them to pursue it.
Dineshkumar Dhanasekharan
Please describe your role so that I can ask the appropriate questions. It is unclear how the VDOT, Federal and fairfax responsibilities are segregated.
In general, I would like to thank the department for generally having good roads (highly used).
Tom Biesiadny
In Fairfax County, VDOT is responsible for the roadway system. In this role, they handle roadway maintenance (pothole repair, snow plowing, repaving) and construction. Fairfax County provides some funding for new roadway construction. The County is also responsible for the operation of the Fairfax Connector bus system. The County has an active program to improve intersections, and build new pedestrian and bicycle facilities. The Federal government provides funding for some improvements. At this point Federal funding for transportation is not increasing significantly and state funding for transportation is declining. This is why the County is engaging in this discussion.
Tysons Engineer
Table 7 outlays many items that are deemed necessary, but we have already seen pushback from residents for such projects such as the Boone Boulevard DTR ramp project which they believe is antithetical to the end goals for Tysons Corner.
Will there be a revisiting of table 7 in light of current budget shortfalls for the next 10 years to partially delay or all together remove some of the items that are not popular and extraordinarily expensive in and around Tysons?
Tom Biesiadny
The Board of Supervisors is considering an overall funding plan for Tysons. This plan will likely include at least an annual review of the project list, the pace of development and funding levels. These reviews may result in changes to the transportation project priorities. Regarding the ramp from the Dulles Toll Road to Boone Boulevard, there are several alignment options which we are analyzing.
Dineshkumar Dhanasekharan
Sales Tax on service - I prefer this revenue generation method. What is the negative impact to the local businesses - such as restaurants and other small business owners? How does this impact larger businesses that are in professional services?
Tom Biesiadny
This tax would be a pass through to the consumer. It would not have a direct impact on the businesses, unless a consumer chose to procure these services outside of Fairfax County. The sales tax on services does not affect meals. It would be collected on things like haircuts, dry cleaning and shoe repairs.
Does VDOT publish a public master plan of repaving projects? I have to politely disagree with another commenter; the roads in my area (Springfield) are a pitted, patched mess.
Basically, is it possible for a member of the public to determine VDOT's schedule for re-paving of deteriorating roads?
Tom Biesiadny
VDOT does have an annual paving schedule. It is usually available in late winter, but I'm not sure whether it is published or not. We will forward your request to VDOT.
Funding for the repaving of secondary roads (subdivision streets and roads like Old Keene Mill Road and Braddock Road) is very limited. Due to the restricted funding, VDOT focuses on the interstate highways and primary roadways (Route 1, Route 123, etc). If you have a specific road that needs to be repaved, you can report it to 1-800-FOR-ROAD.
Tysons Engineer
Does the county still regard a dulles toll road ramp onto Boone Boulevard as necessary and a priority? It seems odd that one of the first major roads will only fuel continued commuters into Tysons, now being funneled through multi-modal friendly roads parallel to Route 7.
A grid is different than creating essentially a brand new route 7, and the number of users who will use this exit in order to get off of the toll road 1 stop earlier is going to be excessive (regardless of whether it is the same price toll exit).
Tom Biesiadny
We are still in the feasibility stage of the Dulles Toll Road Ramp Study, and we have not determined whether a direct connection to Boone Boulevard will be necessary to support the future growth in Tysons. That is one aspect of the study. Boone Boulevard itself is not envisioned to be another Route 7. It would be a parallel roadway that would help distribute traffic (particularly internal to Tysons) without further congesting Route 7.
Tom Biesiadny
Thank you for taking the time to participate in today's Ask Fairfax Chat. We appreciate your input and suggestions. If you haven't already, please take the survey on our website (www.fairfaxcounty.gov/fcdot/cdot/) and feel free to share the link with your friends and neighbors. The survey will be open until Monday, October 15 at 4:30 p.m. In addition, we have three more public meetings tonight and tomorrow night where you can receive more information and ask questions. The specific times and locations are also listed on the website. If you are not able to attend one of the meetings, all of the presentation materials are also available online.
Again, thank you for your time and your input.
