musky

Now that I do not recall at all. You can see in the pics where the previous two were located. Where were the additional stacks?

Am I the only person who remembers there being three smokestacks?

First look: One University Circle high-rise apartments to start rising in January Hoping to benefit from sky-high occupancy rates and rising rents, local developers expect to start construction early next year on a 20-story luxury apartment building in the city's University Circle neighborhood. The first apartments at One University Circle might open in October 2017, with the remainder trickling onto the market through the following spring. The $112 million project is slated for a 1.3-acre site south of Euclid Avenue, at Stearns Road, where the Children's Museum of Cleveland plans to close in early January to make way for new development. First Interstate Properties and Petros Development Corp. filed plans with the city Thursday for the project, which will have its first public vettings next week. http://www.cleveland.com/business/index.ssf/2015/08/first_look_luxury_apartment_hi.html

One day I will make one of these lunches. Perhaps now is the time.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Foxx Announces $9.5 Million in Workforce Development Grants to Promote Careers in Transit, Ladders of Opportunity LOS ANGELES – U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx today announced $9.5 million in grants to 19 projects in 13 states selected to help train a new generation of skilled workers and support long-term careers in the public transportation industry. The announcement was made at the Los Angeles Trade-Technical College (LATTC), and the grants are provided through the Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA) Innovative Public Transportation Workforce Development program. “The public transit industry offers good-paying careers that can lift Americans into the middle class or help them stay there, and more of these careers will be available in the future,” said Secretary Foxx. “These grants will help us overcome skills gaps and provide more young people with the training, apprenticeships, and educational opportunities they need to gain entry into these careers.” Yesterday, the U.S. Departments of Transportation, Education, and Labor today released a joint report entitled “Strengthening Skills Training and Career Pathways across the Transportation Industry.” The report details the future growth areas or employment “hot spots” in transportation by industry subsectors, occupations, career areas, and geographic areas. Secretary Foxx was joined by FTA Acting Administrator Therese McMillan, executives from LATTC, Community Career Development, Inc. (CCD), the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro), and state and local officials. Students from LATTC’s Transportation Technologies program were also on hand to speak about their experiences and demonstrate the skills they have learned at LATTC. “The demand for skilled transit workers will continue to grow as new projects are planned, built, and come on line and as ridership continues to expand in cities like Los Angeles and other communities across the country,” said FTA Acting Administrator McMillan. “And we are committed to making careers in transit a real ladder to opportunity by helping provide education and financial security, especially for those in disadvantaged communities.” Two organizations in Los Angeles were selected in this latest round of FTA workforce development grants: LATTC will receive funding to establish the Institute for Advanced Transportation Technology Training – the first program of its kind in a community college in the country; and CCD will receive funding for its Moving Employees into Transit Related Opportunities (METRO) program, which will partner with organizations like LA Valley College to recruit and train low-income individuals, women, veterans, minorities, and others from communities throughout Metropolitan Los Angeles. FTA’s workforce development projects will develop or expand strategic partnerships with transit agencies, labor unions, nonprofits, and academic institutions, and some will also support small businesses in the transit sector owned by women and minorities. In addition, several projects will serve as scalable models that can be applied to future projects throughout the United States. Among the projects selected nationwide: The Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (GCRTA) will receive funding for the Career Pathways Program, which will address all aspects of the transit workforce by leveraging partnerships with Cuyahoga Community College, Cleveland State University, and El Barrio Workforce Development Center. Intercity Transit in Olympia, WA, will receive funding for its innovative Village Vans program, which aims to serve as a national model for rural transit agencies with large service areas. Like many rural agencies, Intercity Transit relies on volunteer drivers to meet its operational needs, and Village Vans provides volunteers free workforce training that prepares them for potential employment with Intercity Transit or other positions related to vehicle operations. The Grand Gateway Economic Development Association in Northeast Oklahoma will receive funding to establish the N2N Automotive University. This program will identify and train participants, including those from impoverished Native American communities, in automotive repair skills that can be applied to transit vehicles as well as a range of automotive careers. This project will use an innovative Nation-to-Nation (N2N) recruitment strategy. Eligible applicants included public transportation providers at the state, local, and regional level, Metropolitan Planning Organizations, Native American tribes, non-profit institutions, and institutions of higher education. A list of selected projects is available online. Demand for FTA’s workforce grants far exceeded available funds, as FTA received a total of 50 applications requesting over $27 million. The Obama Administration’s GROW AMERICA Act would provide $478 billion over the next six years to help build the transportation workforce of the future, providing consistent long-term funding for transportation and infrastructure. These grants come at a crucial time in the transportation industry. According to the Strengthening Skills Training report, employers will need to hire and train a total of 4.6 million new workers – 1.2 times the current transportation workforce – due to expected growth, retirements, and turnover in the transportation industry from 2012 to 2022. It is projected that 417,000 of these positions will be created as a direct result to increased demand on our transportation systems, and the highest percentage of these jobs will be in transit and ground passenger transportation. ###

That was fast

This is an awesome find, KJP. Also consider - this is the northern terminus of Opportunity Corridor

Hmmmmmmmm

Possible records that will be broken: So, records. Longest dive coaster Longest drop on a dive coaster Fastest dive coaster Most inversions on a dive coaster (3) Most coaster track at one park Most rides at one park Tallest inversion on any roller coaster Most bird-themed attractions at one park Park with most coasters over 200 ft. (5)

One week from the the "big announcement" and once again a new CP ride is leaked. But boy-oh-boy.... this is a good one. When I heard there was an announcement coming and it is being held on 8/18, I knew it was going to be a new coaster - they have 17 of them already. Made sense to me. Of course this is all speculative. And since it it is still mostly in design phase, there could be many changes The first pic is supposed to be the invite for the press and the second pic includes some sort of VR element to it. What do you think:

Been very happy with signing up for sling. I cut my cord about four years ago and relied on viewing most "TV" type shows through various free online outlets.

^Yeah, I know... But does it serve dinner? THAT'S what we (I) need (want).

Also, the VA is still underway.

I propose https://www.studiomoviegrill.com

No kidding. It has GOT to win some awards once complete. I hope the inside is given as much attention to detail as the inside. The second picture does not show it well, but look at the columns (in disrepair) on the left compared to the new ones installed on the far right. Here's a pic further cropped. 20150728_085800 2 by Scott Muscatello, on Flickr

This is a new term for me. I may have heard it before, but I don't recall. Would somebody explain in in very simple language what " trade exceptions" mean and how it may help us? kthanksbye

I find it quite interesting that these can be used for all sorts of data gathering. Weather, Social, Criminal - that is awesome.... and scary... but still, awesome (says the GIS nerd in me)

Provide a large donation.... with conditions ;)

Again... different administration than before

I noticed on a wall inside Asia Plaza at least a dozen properties for sale or rent. At least I think they were. it was written in various Asian characters. Not sure if they were specific to lofts or specific properties.

It was a very nice day. It will be continued at Put-in-Bay on Tuesday
