This spring, we’ve organized a restoration cleanup and marsh planting at Plum Beach, a section of Gateway National Recreation Area and a major spawning beach for the ancient horseshoe crab. In May and June during the high tides, the crabs come ashore to lay their eggs as they’ve done for millions of years. This provides a critical food source for the many species of shorebirds that are migrating through New York City. Small fi sh such as mummichogs and killifi sh join in the feast as well. JAMAICA BAY RESTORATION PROJECTS: Since 1986, the Littoral Society has been organizing annual PROTECTING OUR MARINE LIFE shoreline cleanups to document debris and create a greater public awareness of the issue.

YOU CANNOT QUIT THE GAME SOME REASONS «Cameras begin to make TERRORISM IS NOT TERRORISM the need for themselves.» IF MY MOM CARES I CARE «People will no longer SOCIAL/RACIAL PROFILING know whether they are on camera or off camera.» CONTROLL 1. Computational Sociology: Top down power and science of looking at people as an understandable crowd. 2. Tapping into dangerous social activities and stopping them.

[Desire for Diversity and Difference in Gentrified Brooklyn] Dialogue Between a Planner and a Sociologist
Sandra Annunziata, Lidia K.C. Manzo [Desire for Diversity and Difference in Gentrified Brooklyn] Dialogue between a planner and a sociologist Abstract:This paper combines two ethnographic experiences conducted in two Brooklyn neighborhoods, with the aim to understand the gentrification process: its plural and multidimensional character and the contextual variables. However, coming from different paradigms they are less interested in doing a comparison of their case studies than presenting how different perspectives see and problematize gentrification and urban change in the face of diversity. In this light, the paper discusses the authors’ first-hand experiences and results from the field research as in a sort of dialogue with the academic reader. Reflection on how do they see and problematize gentrification and diversity, the social effects of displacement and the role of planning conclude the paper. Keywords:Gentrification, Urban Desire, Diversity, Brooklyn, Park Slope, Fort Greene. Introduction This paper combines two ethnographic experiences independently conducted by the authors in two Brooklyn neighborhoods1. The overall goal of their work was to understand the process of gentrification: its plural and multidimensional character and the contextual variables of its process (Malutas 2011; Lees et al 2008). However, coming from different paradigms and carrying with them their backgrounds in planning and sociology, they are less interested in doing a comparison of their studies (already published as Annunziata 2009 and Manzo 2012) than presenting how different perspectives see and problematize gentrification and urban change. In this light, the paper discusses the authors’ first-hand experiences and results from the field research as in a sort of dialogue with the academic reader. -
