  • Consider Public Service
    Consider Public Service CONSIDER PUBLIC SERVICE Paul D. Shatsoff With government under seemingly constant fire from so many quarters, it is a wonder that anyone with a choice would opt for a public-sector career. However, in spite of the scandals, administrative failures, and inefficiencies, I believe government tends to work pretty well, thanks to the millions of women and men who choose it for a career. As of 2012, there were 22 million public employees in the United States; 16 million of whom work in education. For more than three decades, I devoted my work-life to public service. There was no single event that led me to a public-sector career, but a combination of experiences and the desire to make a difference in the lives of other people. The saying that a public ser- vant “works for the people” sometimes gets lost in the day-to-day shuffle of paperwork and deliberations that are part of any govern- ment. Though I chose public service for the meaning and difference it could make, most of the positions I held were administrative or executive, but I looked for opportunities to add more meaning to my job. The most enjoyable and rewarding period of my career was when I was on the adjunct faculty for a graduate program in public administration. I would open the first class of each semester with a question: “Why did you choose to pursue a public service career?” The answers from year to year had little variation. The most common answers were, “I want to make a difference in people’s lives” and “I 173 WORKING STORIES want to get meaning out of my work.” There were a number of other answers too, such as, “I couldn’t get into the MBA program,” or “I didn’t know what else to do.” Or, “I thought it would give me steady employment and good benefits.” Not surprisingly, no one said they did it to get rich.

  • Washington Heights Community Directory
    Washington Heights Community Resource Directory New York State Psychiatric Institute Center of Excellence for Cultural Competence May 2008 Community Profile: Washington Heights and Inwood A survey of New York City residents found that people who report having significant emotional distress are more likely to engage in unhealthy behaviors, such as getting no exercise, binge drinking, smoking, and eating a poor diet. Similarly, New Yorkers with significant emotional distress experience high rates of chronic illness, such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity, asthma, and diabetes. An added difficulty is that neighborhoods in New York with the lowest incomes often have the highest rates of significant emotional distress, often adding to the burden on these already underserved communities (New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, 2003). The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) has conducted a number of community health surveys to assess the health and well-being of New Yorkers. Here, we present some of the factors important to the physical and mental health of the communities of Washington Heights and Inwood, to serve as background for the services listed in this directory. Washington Heights and Inwood: The population of Inwood and Washington Heights (I/WH) at the 2000 census was 270,700. More than half of the residents of these communities (51%) were born outside the United States, compared to 36% for New York City as a whole. Figure 1 shows the countries of origin for foreign-born members of Community District 12 (which is made up of Inwood and Washington Heights), while Table 1 lists foreign-born residents by country of origin.

  • Westchester County and New Rochelle Background
    5. BACKGROUND INFORMATION AND EXISTING CONDITIONS New Rochelle’s location on Westchester’s Long Island Sound shore places it within one of the state’s wealthiest counties. According to 1995 estimates from the United States Census Bureau, Westchester has New York’s fourth- highest median income, at $53,043. Only Putnam, Nassau, and Rockland, also New York City suburbs, and all much smaller in size than Westchester’s 443 square miles, has a greater median income. 5.1.1 WESTCHESTER COUNTY: HISTORY As shown in the map at left, Westchester County borders, on its south, the New York City borough of the Bronx. According to historian Frank E. Sanchis, this location at New York City’s doorstep has “always put it in the center of activity relative to the balance of the nation.” Indeed, Westchester’s development has historically been fueled by its proximity to what has been, since 1820, America’s largest city. Before the days of railroads or highways, Westchester had the trade routes of the Hudson River and Long Island Sound. In the 18th century, the primitive post roads to Albany and Boston were cut through Westchester’s rolling, wooded hills. When New York City’s population boomed after the 1825 completion of the Erie Canal, Westchester furnished many of the city’s raw and finished goods. Iron foundries were located throughout the county, and Westchester’s numerous brickyards and marble quarries provided the materials for the thousands of row houses and monumental new institutional buildings spreading across Manhattan. When Newgate Prison in Greenwich Village was no longer adequate, it was replaced in 1828 by Sing Sing, “up the river” in Westchester County.

  • NYC Department of Records and Information Services and The
    Mayor’s Office of Technology and Innovation Department of Records and Information Services NYC Department of Records and Information Services and the Mayor’s Office of the Chief Technology Officer announce a searchable public portal to official New York City agency social media posts. November 2, 2017 NEW YORK — The New York City Department of Records and Information Services (DORIS) and the Mayor’s Office of the Chief Technology Officer (MOCTO) advance transparency in City government information through the creation of an online archive of all official New York City agency social media posts using the Archive Social platform: http://nyc.gov.archivesocial.com/. The social media archive furthers transparency goals and is aligned with the Mayor's promise to expand and facilitate access to government information by proactively making all posts available online. Beginning in 2011, when the City launched a digital road map, City agencies have continuously expanded the use of social media as a means of communication. Social media is used to provide real-time information in emergencies, such as Hurricane Sandy, to engage with constituents in direct dialogues, and to share messaging. The site offers access to 362 accounts associated with 44 agencies across 15 social media outlets including Facebook, Flickr, Google+, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Twitter, Vimeo, and Youtube. The site was developed by Archive Social which also created the Obama administration’s social media archive. “The social media posted by City agencies are equivalent to telegrams from the 19th and early 20th century. Highlighting initiatives, showcasing images, the platform offers a quick survey of the key issues City agencies are grappling with.

  • Pleistocene Multi-Glacier Hypothesis Supported by Newly Exposed Glacial Sediments, South Twin Island, the Bronx, New York
    111 PLEISTOCENE MULTI-GLACIER HYPOTHESIS SUPPORTED BY NEWLY EXPOSED GLACIAL SEDIMENTS, SOUTH TWIN ISLAND, THE BRONX, NEW YORK John E. Sanders, Charles Merguerian, Jessica Levine, and Paul M. Carter Geology Department, 114 Hofstra University Hempstead, NY 11550-1090 INTRODUCTION On 02 November 1996, during Hofstra University Geology Department's biannual Introductory Geology field trip to Pelham Bay Park in The Bronx, CM noticed that the intense storm of 19 October 1996 had undercut the coastal bluff at the south end of Soutb Twin Island, exposing a brownish till beneath previously visible reddish-brown till. Subsequent to this short- but enlightening large-class visit, we revisited the site on 05 and 12 November 1996 to excavate-, clean up-, and sample a 2-m-high face that exposed four layers of Pleistocene strata, the lowest of which was found to rest on striated bedrock of the Hartland Formation. Based on our previous studies of ice-eroded features on the bedrock here and elsewhere in southeastern New York, we found evidence of three glaciations, with ice flow from the NNE (G lacier I of Table 1), from the NNW (Glaciers IT and/or m, which created the spectacular set of parallel striae oriented N32°W-S32°E at South Twin Island), and from the NNE (Glacier TV). We thought the storm and our shovels had exposed Till TV . The mineral composition- and color oftbe +0.5-phi fraction of the Pleistocene materials from the newly exposed section, however seems to indicate otherwise. Only two contrasting suites are present in four distinct layers: (A) a reddish-brown layer in which well-rounded reddish-brown siltstone rock fragments predominate, and (B) three other layers.
