We told the reporter the service was designed to run during the peak seasonal months and will begin again next spring. We also pointed out that the new roadway will include a much improved 12-foot shared use bikepath. • Ted Mann of the Wall Street Journal and Bill Mooney from Politicker NJ called to inquire about whether anyone from Port Authority leadership would attend a legislative hearing in Trenton on Monday at which the GWB lane closings will be discussed. We did not respond. • Numerous media outlets called on reports of an alleged assault on a Delta flight coming into JFK Airport today from Amsterdam. We let reporters know the report was unfounded. • Azi Paybarah from Capital New York called and asked about Joe Dunne becoming the next NYPD commissioner. We did not respond. • Dana Rubenstein of Capital New York called to confirm that the gauge of track on AirTrain JFK is the same as the LIRR's, following up on a call several weeks ago by the Global Gateway Alliance to bring LIRR trains directly to JFK Airport. We confirmed the gauges are the same. • Curt Epstein of Airport International News requested an interview with a Port Authority official regarding Teterboro's preparations for private planes coming for February's Super Bowl at the Meadowlands. We are looking to provide an interview with Interim Aviation Director Thomas Bosco. • Emily Laermer of Crains NY is seeking Port Authority travel figures for the Thanksgiving Holiday weekend. We told the reporter those figures may be available tomorrow. • Dave Siff of HLN TV called about a listing on the FAA web site this morning characterizing delays at Newark Liberty International Airport as due to an aircraft emergency. We checked with EWR operations and found no reports of an aircraft emergency and also let the reporter know the FAA web site was showing no delays at EWR.

Kennedy Middle School, among the world's first posthumous memorials to the slain icon. It was not the last. There were myriad memorials, namesakes and other tributes to the fallen president -within months of his death, his face was on the 50-cent coin- notably the Kennedy Center, in Washington, D.C.; the Kennedy Space Center, in Cape Canaveral, Fla.; or the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. But one of the very earliest was in New York City and known as the man was in his day, by his initials: an international airport in Queens simply called by many JFK. PANYNJ Officials on Hot Seat for George Washington Bridge Closing By Ted Mann Wall Street Journal A New Jersey legislative committee has demanded that major players at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and elsewhere explain why the authority shut off local lanes to the George Washington Bridge in September, triggering major traffic jams. Among those invited to testify on the matter Monday is David Wild stein, the authority's director of interstate capital projects. The Wall Street Journal reported this month that Mr. Wildstein made the call to close the toll lanes, triggering the traffic jams. Also called to testify were Patrick Faye and Bill Baroni, the executive and deputy executive director of the authority, respectively; Michael Fedorko, the authority's superintendent of police; Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich; and Fort Lee Police Chief Keith Bendul.

PORTS Waterfront Commission Postpones NY-NJ Hearing Joseph Bonney Journal of Commerce (Full text) The Waterfront Commission of New York Harbor's scheduled Nov. 25 hearing on longshore hiring practices at the Port of New York and New Jersey has been postponed until a to-be-determined date in December. The commission has been locked in a dispute with the New York Shipping Association and International Longshoremen's Association over the makeup of the pool of applicants for longshore jobs at the port. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which PA - DW - 000203 doesn't hire dockworkers but is landlord to port terminals, has been trying to mediate a truce. The Waterfront Commission had scheduled three public hearings this month. Monday's hearing was to have been the third; all three have been postponed. The NYSA and ILA have asked the commission, created in 1953 to root out criminal influence on the docks, for authority to hire 682 longshoremen and clerks, including up to 300 replacements for workers scheduled to take early retirement next April under a new labor contract. NYSA President John Nardi has warned that unless the new workers can be recruited, hired and trained before the veteran workers retire, the port faces more labor shortages like the ones that contributed to severe delays last summer. The Waterfront Commission wants more diversity in the job applicant pool. The NYSA and ILA contend the commission is interfering with the new contract's formula under which 51 percent of job referrals will be military veterans, 25 percent referrals by the I LA, and 24 percent referrals by the NYSA. 2 PA - DW - 000204 From: Albiez, Cheryl Ann Sent: Friday, November 22, 2013 7:32 AM Subject: Morning Clips 11.22.13 Port Authority unveils Liberty J>ark plans New York Business Journal- Full Text The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has released details on the $50 million construction of Liberty Park, a one-acre elevated park to be built south of the National September II Memorial. The space, which currently is empty, will be transformed to a park that will give a panoramic view of the memorial and will sit 25 feet above Liberty Street over the area's vehicle security center, according to the New York Times. The park, expected to open in 2015, will stretch from the new St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church to a pedestrian bridge over West Street that survived the Sept. II attacks. Last month, the public got a sneak peak at the park after Tribeca Citizen published the project's proposed renderings, which show designs for the new St. Nicholas church, designed by Santiago Calatrava. The Port Authority now has confirmed that Liberty Park will be designed by Joseph E. Brown, a landscape architect who is the chief innovation officer at Los Angeles-based Aecom, an architectural, engineering and construction consultancy.

He served on a panel discussion, “Election Politics and More,” presented by the New Jersey Institute for Continuing Legal Education last fall. Barack Obama hates it. So does Donald Trump. The rise of ‘fake news’ has drawn widespread condemnation, though the meaning of the label itself is now a matter of political dispute. Obama has criticized fake news based on its original definition—patently false disinformation masquerading as journalism. A few weeks after the November election, he lamented the impact of "active misinformation" that is "packaged" to deceive, so it "looks the same when you see it on a Facebook page" as a legitimate article. A false item claiming the Pope endorsed Trump, for example, was one of the top election ‘stories’ on Facebook, according to a Buzzfeed analysis. That means millions of Americans wrongly thought they were reading and sharing something that happened (it didn't) from a news source (it wasn't).

Northeast This week, NHJournal writes than incumbent Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen has launched a new focus on women’s issues, charging that her GOP challenger, Scott Brown, does not stand up for women’s reproductive rights and economic security. They say that Shaheen’s move on women’s issues is an effort to make her strong standing among women even stronger at a time when Brown may be gaining on her. In the Bay State this week, MassPoliticsProfs looks at the state’s gubernatorial race between Democrat Martha Coakley and Republican Charlie Baker.

They say that while President Obama is relatively unpopular, the Democratic Party out polls the GOP on most issues, and Coakley has a much superior voter mobilization operation. Daily Kos also comments on the race, writing on Monday that the contest is a ‘real’ one, given than many polls show Coakley neck and neck with Baker.

  • A PETRI NET FRAMEWORK for the REPRESENTATION and ANALYSIS of AIRCRAFT TURNAROUND OPERATIONS Zheng Yang Sng and R. John Hansman
    A PETRI NET FRAMEWORK FOR THE REPRESENTATION AND ANALYSIS OF AIRCRAFT TURNAROUND OPERATIONS Zheng Yang Sng and R. John Hansman This report is based on the Master’s Thesis of Zheng Yang Sng submitted to the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Transportation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Report No. ICAT-2019-05 June 2019 MIT International Center for Air Transportation (ICAT) Department of Aeronautics & Astronautics Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge, MA 02139 USA 1 [Page Intentionally Left Blank] 2 A Petri Net Framework for the Representation and Analysis of Aircraft Turnaround Operations by Zheng Yang Sng Submitted to the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering on May 17, 2019, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Transportation Abstract Aircraft turnaround operations is a key determinant of both airline and airport performance. Airlines incur both direct and indirect costs from poor on-time departure performance, particularly when these delays propagate through an airline’s schedule and additional resources have to be utilized for schedule recovery. As for airports, poor stand utilization due to excessive stand occupancy times can give rise to stand shortages and last-minute reallocations which disrupt operations across both terminal and airside. As such, optimization of aircraft turnaround operations provides opportunities for improvements at a systemic level. Petri Nets were chosen as the modelling tool as they possess features which can sufficiently account for both the complexity and uncertainty associated with aircraft turnarounds. Petri Nets models were first constructed to provide general representations for the turnaround operations of narrow-bodied B738 and wide-bodied A333 aircrafts.
