Where else can you stroll into the Village Vanguard 7 by Clifford Allen (Happy 75th Anniversary!) every Monday and hear a band with as much history as the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra (On the Cover). Or see as well-traveled a bassist as On The Cover: Vanguard Jazz Orchestra Ron McClure (Interview) take part in the reunion of the legendary Lookout Farm 9 by George Kanzler quartet at Birdland? How about supporting those young, vibrant artists like Encore: Lest We Forget: drummer Harris Eisenstadt (Artist Feature) whose bands and music keep jazz relevant and exciting? 10 Svend Asmussen Joe Maneri In addition to the above, this month includes a Lest We Forget on the late by Ken Dryden by Clifford Allen saxophonist Joe Maneri, honored this month with a tribute concert at the Irondale Center in Brooklyn.

  • New York State Public Transportation Safety Board Rail Safety Section Abbreviated Report Case Number: 9260
    NEW YORK STATE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD RAIL SAFETY SECTION ABBREVIATED REPORT CASE NUMBER: 9260 DATE OF ACCIDENT: February 2, 2007 CARRIER: MTA Long Island Rail Road TYPE OF INCIDENT: Evacuation SYNOPSIS: On Friday, February 2, 2007, at approximately 6:37 p.m., the LIRR movement bureau placed a block on the four main line tracks in the Valley interlocking after the Valley Tower Operator reported that an electrical power wire was hanging low across the tracks. Valley Tower is located in the town of Valley Stream and the power wire from a Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) sub-station on the north side of the right-of-way extends overhead across to the south side of tracks. The wire had sagged to approximately five feet above the Long Beach #2 track; 10 feet above the Montauk #2 track; and four feet above the top of the head car on train #4153 on Montauk #1 track were it had stopped adjacent to the Valley Tower. The wire did not come into contact with the train. The movement bureau established a block on the #1 and #2 tracks of both the Montauk and the Atlantic lines, effectively shutting down traffic through the interlocking. This affected train movement on the Montauk, Far Rockaway, West Hempstead and Long Beach Branches. A total of 14 trains (eight eastbound and six westbound) were delayed between the Hall Interlocking (west of Jamaica Station) and the Merrick Station on the Montauk Branch when third rail power was shut off. Of the above trains, 8 of them stopped within the limits of the Valley Interlocking.

  • Chapter 1: Project Purpose and Need
    Chapter 1: Project Purpose and Need A. INTRODUCTION The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), in cooperation with MTA New York City Transit (NYCT), propose to construct the Second Avenue Subway in Manhattan, to provide much-needed transit access to East Side residents, workers, and visitors and to improve mobility for all New Yorkers. The proposed project analyzed in this Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement (SDEIS) is a full-length Second Avenue Subway from Harlem to Lower Manhattan, recommended after careful consideration of a full range of alternatives in the Major Investment Study (MIS) for Manhattan East Side Transit Alternatives Study (MESA) and public and agency response to the MESA MIS and Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) published in 1999. As described in detail in Chapter 2 (“Project Alternatives”), as well as Appendix B (“Development of Alternatives”), the design of the full-length Second Avenue Subway has been further refined since completion of the DEIS, resulting in the project alternative analyzed in this SDEIS. This chapter discusses the need for the proposed Second Avenue Subway. It identifies the project, defines the current and future travel problems on the East Side and in the city, describes the project’s background and current planning context, and presents the project’s goals and objectives. B. IDENTIFICATION OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT The Second Avenue Subway would be a new, two-track, approximately 8.5-mile rail line extending the length of Manhattan’s East Side from 125th Street in East Harlem to Hanover Square in the Financial District. This new subway line would serve communities in East Harlem, the Upper East Side, Midtown, Gramercy Park/Union Square, the Lower East Side, Chinatown, and Lower Manhattan.

  • The Missing Medium
    The Missing Medium Book Two of the Utgarda Series Joab Stieglitz Joab Stieglitz Chapter 2 July 11, 1929 Shortly after 8:00 a.m., Anna and the doctor were negotiating the crowds on the main concourse. The hall was packed with hurried commuters and luggage-laden travelers. Here and there children ran through the crowds hawking newspapers. “Rome throng greets American Fliers,” cried one boy over the din of the crowd, “Yancey and Williams meet with Mussolini.” “Here you go, son,” Lamb said, handing the boy a coin. The child pocketed it, handed the doctor a copy of the New York Herald, and disappeared into the throng before Lamb had unfolded it. Glancing at the headlines, Lamb turned to Anna, who walked beside him. “It's quite the accomplishment,” he said, turning the paper to show her the cover. “Roger Williams and Lewis Yancey broke the over-water flying record flying from Old Orchard Beach, Maine, to Santander, Spain,” he read aloud. “The 3,400 mile flight took 31 hours and 30 minutes.” But Anna was not listening. She was wary of the crowds. Having grown up in Brooklyn as a woman of means, she had been approached by would-be thieves on more than one occasion. The first time, the young immigrant surrendered the money she had on her person. But she never let anyone take advantage of her again. The few occasions when she was 7 The Missing Medium taken by surprise, Anna was more than able to resist, yelling, screaming, and even fighting back. She had left more than one assailant with a bloody nose or black eye.
