    Downtown Revitalization Initiative “Resurgent Rensselaer” – Submitted by the City of Rensselaer BASIC INFORMATION Regional Economic Development Council (REDC) Region: Capital District Municipality Name: City of Rensselaer Downtown Name: Rensselaer Transit Village County: Rensselaer Vision for Downtown. Provide a brief statement of the municipality’s vision for downtown revitalization. The City of Rensselaer is in the process of reinventing itself as an active waterfront transit village where residents can “Live, Work and Play.” In order to accomplish this mission, the city plans to completely redevelop its waterfront, redefine Broadway as its Main Street, and improve connectivity from new residential, retail, commercial and recreational uses to the Albany/Rensselaer Train Station. Justification. Provide an overview of the downtown, highlighting the area’s defining characteristics and the reasons for its selection. Explain why the downtown is ready for Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) investment, and how that investment would serve as a catalyst to bring about revitalization. The City of Rensselaer is the prime example of a community which is in the midst of rebirth as a modern-day transit village. The city boasts a wonderful location with easy access to regional rail transportation, waterfront recreation, new mixed-use housing developments and a traditional Main Street thoroughfare along Broadway. Moreover, Broadway directly connects the waterfront to a number of historic resources within the city, offering an opportunity to rebrand the city as a modern transit village and historic maritime port of call along the Hudson. A historic impediment to redevelopment along Broadway and the waterfront has been the existence of perceived and potential brownfield sites, as highlighted in the City’s New York State Brownfield Opportunity Areas Program Nomination Study.

    FLYSCH AND MOLASSE OF THE CLASSICAL TACONIC AND ACADIAN OROGENIES: MODELS FOR SUBSURFACE RESERVOIR SETTINGS GERALD M. FRIEDMAN Brooklyn College and Graduate School of the City University of NY, Brooklyn, NY 11210 and Northeastern Science Foundation affiliated with Brooklyn College, CUNY, P.O. Box 746, Troy, NY 12181 ABSTRACT This field trip will examine classical sections of the Appalachians including Cambro-Ordovician basin-margin and basin-slope facies (flysch) of the Taconics and braided and meandering stteam deposits (molasse) of the Catskills. The deep­ water settings are part of the Taconic sequence. These rocks include massive sandstones of excellent reservoir quality that serve as models for oil and gas exploration. With their feet, participants may straddle the classical Logan's (or Emmon 's) line thrust plane. The stream deposits are :Middle to Upper Devonian rocks of the Catskill Mountains which resulted from the Acadian Orogeny, where the world's oldest and largest freshwater clams can be found in the world's oldest back-swamp fluvial facies. These fluvial deposits make excellent models for comparable subsurface reservoir settings. INTRODUCTION This trip will be in two parts: (1) a field study of deep-water facies (flysch) of the Taconics, and (2) a field study of braided- and meandering-stream deposits (molasse) of the Catskills. The rocks of the Taconics have been debated for more than 150 years and need to be explained in detail before the field stops make sense to the uninitiated. Therefore several pages of background on these deposits precede the itinera.ry. The Catskills, however, do not need this kind of orientation, hence after the Taconics (flysch) itinerary, the field stops for the Catskills follow immediately without an insertion of background informa­ tion.

    How the Ice Age Shaped Indiana Jerry Wilson Published by Wilstar Media, www.wilstar.com Indianapolis, Indiana 1 Previiously published as The Topography of Indiana: Ice Age Legacy, © 1988 by Jerry Wilson. Second Edition Copyright © 2008 by Jerry Wilson ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 2 For Aaron and Shana and In Memory of Donna 3 Introduction During the time that I have been a science teacher I have tried to enlist in my students the desire to understand and the ability to reason. Logical reasoning is the surest way to overcome the unknown. The best aid to reasoning effectively is having the knowledge and an understanding of the things that have previ- ously been determined or discovered by others. Having an understanding of the reasons things are the way they are and how they got that way can help an individual to utilize his or her resources more effectively. I want my students to realize that changes that have taken place on the earth in the past have had an effect on them. Why are some towns in Indiana subject to flooding, whereas others are not? Why are cemeteries built on old beach fronts in Northwest Indiana? Why would it be easier to dig a basement in Valparaiso than in Bloomington? These things are a direct result of the glaciers that advanced southward over Indiana during the last Ice Age. The history of the land upon which we live is fascinating. Why are there large granite boulders nested in some of the fields of northern Indiana since Indiana has no granite bedrock? They are known as glacial erratics, or dropstones, and were formed in Canada or the upper Midwest hundreds of millions of years ago.

Occurrence of glaciers 8. Present-day glacierization of the Arctic Glossary Bibliography Biographical Sketch Summary There exist ten crystal variants of ice and one amorphous form in Nature, however only one form ice-1 is distributed on the Earth. Ten other ice variants steadily exist only under a certain combinations of pressure, specific volume and temperature of medium, and those are not typical for our planet. The ice density is less than that of water by 9%, and owing to this water reservoirs are never totally frozen., Thus life is sustained in them during the winter time. As a rule, ice is much cleaner than water, and specific gas-ice compounds called as crystalline hydrates are found in ice. Among the different spheres surrounding our globe there are cryosphere (sphere of the cold), glaciosphere (sphere of snow and ice) and chionosphere (that part of the troposphere where the annual amount of solid precipitation exceeds their losses). The chionosphere envelopes the Earth with a shell 3 to 5 km in thickness. In the present epoch, snow and ice cover 14.2% of the planet’s surface and more than half of the land surface.

  • Pinebush Transportation Study Update
    Pinebush Transportation Study Update September 2004 SUMMARY The Albany County Department of Public Works submitted a proposal under CDTC's 2000-01 Community and Transportation Linkage Planning Program requesting that CDTC staff update the 1985 Pinebush Area Transportation Study to "address all of the changes which have occurred since the completion of the Pinebush Area Transportation Study in 1990." The county's proposal indicated that the study would be used to develop a consensus and gain support of all the municipalities and interested parties in the area. The county's proposal was approved and $20,000 was programmed for the study. To accomplish the goals of the linkage study, CDTC staff looked at the transportation system in the Pinebush Study area and identified physical changes that took place over the fifteen-year period, such as intersection configuration, bicycle/pedestrian accommodation, physical condition, etc. To evaluate how the current transportation system is performing, CDTC staff first compared current traffic counts with the 1985 counts and determined where growth, if any occurred. Next, CDTC staff identified the locations where traffic growth exceeded the background growth rate for Albany County and identified any attendant development that occurred that could explain the increase in traffic growth. CDTC staff looked at capacity and level-of-service (LOS) issues at all the locations where current counts were taken. Threshold analysis was conducted at all the intersections and links where current counts were available. Intersection level of service analysis using HCM was conducted at those intersections where current traffic counts and signal timing plans are available. Speed-delay runs were conducted along three major corridors in the study area--New Karner Road, Washington Avenue Extension and Western Avenue.

As result among Harvard alumni, Union military losses were 10% compared with a 21% casualty rate for the Confederate Army. The battle of Gettysburg (PA) had the highest amount of Harvard alumni serving in the Union Army who were killed in action (i.e. 11), in addition 3 Harvard alumni Confederates also died in this battle. Secondly, seven Crimson warriors made the supreme sacrifice for the Union at Antietam (MD) with 5 more were killed in the battles of Cedar Mountain (VA) and Fredericksburg (VA). As expected, most of the Harvard alumni who died in the service of the Union were born and raised in the Northeastern states (e.g. 74% from Massachusetts). However, 9 Harvard alumni Union casualties were from the Mid West including one from the border state of Missouri. None of these Harvard men were from southern states. The below men who made the supreme sacrifice for their country to preserve the union which also resulted in the abolition of slavery.
