  • Friends of Five Creeks Letters Re Restoration of Codornices Creek
    The letters below deal with F5C’s early involvement in Codornices Creek. They shed some light on challenges that faced efforts to restore our area’s only trout stream, and the role citizens played. These are by no means the whole story. Most credit for the big projects on Codornices west of San Pablo goes to the partnership of creek-restoration pioneers Carole Schemmerling, who headed the now defunct Urban Creeks Council, and consulting hydrologist Dr. Ann Riley, whose now defunct private consulting firm Watershed Restoration Institute. The two shared offices; UCC was effectively the nonprofit arm of WRI, able to receive grants and similar government support. Credit also goes to longtime environmental visionary Richard Register, who with UCC played a large role in bringing Codornices out of its pipe between 8th and 9th Streets in 1994-5. This was one of Berkeley’s pioneer “daylighting” projects. Friends of Five Creeks 1000 San Pablo Ave. Albany, CA 94706 412 7257 October 4, 1998 Mr. Ron Gervason San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board 1515 Clay St., 14th Floor Oakland, CA 94612 [email protected] Re: Triannual Review of Water Quality Control Plan of San Francisco Bay Basin Friends of Five Creeks is a grassroots organization that seeks to protect and restore creeks in Albany, California. While Albany’s natural creeks are mostly in culverts, one, Codornices, is substantially free flowing and has a small trout population. Efforts are ongoing to restore another, Cerrito Creek. We believe that the few creeks in our urbanized area that can or do support relatively natural aquatic life, especially cold-water or anadromous fish, should receive the highest possible degree of protection, including that of the Regional Water Quality Control Board.

  • Kinect Chapter 15. Using the Kinect's Microphone Array
    Java Prog. Techniques for Games. Kinect 15. Kinect Mike. Draft #1 (14th March 2012) Kinect Chapter 15. Using the Kinect's Microphone Array The previous chapter was about speech recognition, with audio recorded from the PC's microphone rather than the Kinect. Frankly, a bit of a cheat, but still useful. This chapter shows how to capture sound from the Kinect's microphone array, so there's no longer any need to feel guilty about using an extra microphone. The trick is to install audio support from Microsoft's Kinect SDK which lets Windows 7 treat the array as a standard multichannel recording device. Care must be taken when mixing this audio driver with OpenNI, but the payoff is that the microphone array becomes visible to Java's sound API. The main drawback is that this only works on Windows 7 since Microsoft's SDK only supports that OS. My Java examples start with several tools for listing audio sources and their capabilities, such as the PC's microphone and the Kinect array. I'll also describe a simple audio recorder that reads from a specified source and saves the captured sound to a WAV file. One of the novel features of Microsoft's SDK is support for beamforming – the ability to calculate the direction of an audio source. It's possible to duplicate this using the Java SoundLocalizer application developed by Laurent Calmes (http://www.laurentcalmes.lu). I finish with another version of my audio-controlled Breakout game, this time employing the Kinect's microphone array instead of the PC's mike.

  • Pt. Isabel-Stege Area
    Tales of the Bay Shore -- Pt. Isabel-Stege area Geology: The “bones” of the shoreline from Albany to Richmond are a sliver of ancient, alien sea floor, caught on the edge of North America as it overrode the Pacific. Fleming Point (site of today’s racetrack), Albany Hill, Pt. Isabel, Brooks Island, scattered hillocks inland, the hills at Pt Richmond, and the hills across the San Pablo Strait (spanned by the Richmond Bridge) all are part of this Novato Terrane. Erosion and uplift eventually left their hard rock as hilltops in a valley. Still later – only about 5000 years ago -- rising seas from the melting glaciers of our last Ice Age flooded the valley, forming today’s San Francisco Bay. The “alien” hilltops became islands, peninsulas linked to shore by marsh, or isolated dome-like “turtlebacks.” Left: Portion of 1911 map of SF Bay showing many Native American sites near Pt. Isabel and Stege. Right: 1853 U.S. Coastal Survey map showing N. end of Albany Hill, Cerrito Creek, Pt. Isabel, and marshes/ to North. Native Americans: Native Americans would have watched the slow rise of today’s Bay. When Europeans reached North America, the East Bay was the home of Huchiun Ohlone peoples. Living in groups generally of fewer than 100 people, they moved seasonally amid rich and varied resources, gathering, hunting, fishing, and encouraging useful plants with pruning and burning. They made reed boats, baskets, nets, traps, mortars, and a wide variety of implements and decorations. Along the shellfish-rich shoreline they gradually built up substantial hills of debris – shell mounds -- that kept them above floods and served as multipurpose homesites, burial sites, refuse dumps, and more.
