  • 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.

Polychlorinated Biphenyl (PCB) Pollution of the Hudson River: Social Policy and Health Considerations. Department of Sociology, June 2016. ADVISOR: Ilene Kaplan The purpose of this paper is to examine pollution in the Hudson River and the role General Electric has had in creating this problem. The focus will be on social issues and problems that have emerged as a result of the environmental damage from pollution. Until recently, there was little research done on the health and environmental justice issues that impact the New York communities where GE’s factories were located. This paper examines the material collected and studies that were done which document Hudson River pollution and the contributions as well as clean up efforts of General Electric.

  • Asian Supermarket Shares See Mixed Response To
    While North American and European supermarket stocks closed lower Friday, likely in response to the threat posed by e-commerce giant Amazon to the grocery space after its announced US$13.7 billion deal to purchase Whole Foods, the reaction from Asian markets has been mixed. The continent's bourses were already closed when the announcement was made last week, and on Monday there was no discernible trend in response. Further south in Australia though, all major listed supermarket saw their share prices fall. Leading Japanese retailer Aeon Co Ltd actually saw a slight rise of 0.46% in its share price, while increases were also seen with the country's Yamada Denki Co Ltd (+1.6%) and Isetan Mitsukoshi Holdings (+0.77%). In India, Big Bazaar owner Future Retail Ltd saw an increase of 5.7% in its share price, while in China, Lianhua Supermarket saw an uptick of 2.37% and shares in Yonghui Superstores were up 1.5%. In contrast, falls were seen for Hong Kong-based regional player Dairy Farm International Holdings (-1.96%), as well as South Korea's Lotte Shopping Co Ltd (-1.61%) and e-mart owner Shinsegae Inc (-1.86%). In Australia, shares in Coles owner Wesfarmers were down marginally by 0.22%, but the drops were more pronounced at Woolworths (-3.5%) and IGA owner Metcash (-2.33%). In the U.S., at the time of writing Walmart shares have been relatively flat today, and Costco saw has had a minor recovery of 1.89% from Friday's 7.19% fall, while Kroger and Supervalu - which suffered the biggest drops last week - have had small gains of 1.28% and 0.47% respectively.

I907. NO. I ' THE VAN RENSSELAER FAMILY. BY W. W. SPOONER. the early Dutch colonial families the Van OF Rensselaers were the first to acquire a great landed estate in America under the "patroon" system; they were among the first, after the English conquest of New Netherland, to have their possessions erected into a "manor," antedating the Livingstons and Van Cortlandts in this particular; and they were the last to relinquish their ancient prescriptive rights and to part with their hereditary demesnes under the altered social and political conditions of modem times. So far as an aristocracy, in the strict understanding of the term, may be said to have existed under American institu- tions—and it is an undoubted historical fact that a quite formal aristocratic society obtained throughout the colonial period and for some time subsequently, especially in New York, — the Van Rensselaers represented alike its highest attained privileges, its most elevated organization, and its most dignified expression. They were, in the first place, nobles in the old country, which cannot be said of any of the other manorial families of New York, although several of these claimed gentle descent.
