The original main south track embankment is still in place in this paddock, now out of use 80+ years. Sections of the main south were realigned during duplication to ease the grades, and it actually has more and sharper curves and longer distance than the original line! Modern freights would be faster on the original alignment!

Flying to Tonopah, NV. TPH was a WWII bomber training base and is on the edge of the Tonopah Test Range and occasionally helicopters will appear out of nowhere and fly with you for awhile. Rock alignments are visible at various locations and some are attributed to native Americans and others are WWII military artifacts. From time to time, you will see messages engraved into the dry lakebeds.

Workforce Alignment workshop "Building strong partnerships to support Wisconsin’s workforce need." A conversation hosted by UW Oshkosh, Department of Workforce Development, Fox Valley Tech and WAICU.

The CLCC recently completed and approved our first science planning document titled, CLCC Science Strategy: Mission Alignment, as an initial step toward identifying shared conservation priorities. While the document met its stated objectives, Steering Committee (SC) members and outside reviewers have suggested the next step is to develop a framework for implementation. To carry out this step, SC members approved the use of a process called Structured Decision-Making (SDM). SDM is a formal, prescriptive, values-based method for analyzing a decision by breaking the decision into components. The specific process used in the workshop is called “PrOACT,” which refers to the decision components: Problem, Objectives, Alternatives, Consequences, and Tradeoffs. For the purposes of the CLCC, SDM provides a tool for achieving transparent, purposeful, and collaborative co-production of conservation—specifically, multi-partner landscape conservation design (LCD) for the Caribbean region.

To begin working through PrOACT the SC spent four days in El Yunque National Forest with decision support coaches Angela Romero and Mitch Aid (US FWS), Peter Freeman (USVI Independent Consulant) and Wanda Crespo (Estudio Technicos, Inc).

The objectives of this face to face meeting were to (1) introduce participating SC members to the SDM process so that they are comfortable with the process, its application, and its usefulness; (2) Frame “The Problem” SC members are jointly addressing (i.e., Step 1 of PrOACT); and (3) Develop a set of actionable “Objectives” based on CLCC shared values and priorities (i.e., Step 2 of PrOACT).

Steering Committee members agreed upon the following Decision Statement:

“The Caribbean LCC Steering Committee will develop and implement coordinated, efficient, and effective landscape-scale conservation design and strategy to conserve, restore and sustain ecological and cultural resources and services and human well-being in the Caribbean inside and outside of CLCC jurisdictional boundaries. The CLCC recognizes the following constraints and uncertainties: political and social environments, finances, multiple decision making authorities, diverse values, competing priorities, and climatic and ecological dynamics.”

The CLCC Steering Committee recognized themselves as the focal decision-makers and the organizations they represent as the implementers. The decision timeframe includes a 5-10 year planning horizon, 10-20 year implementation period (to institutionalize LCD), and the impacts of decisions will range from the present to 60 years to quasi-infinite. The group also agreed that the region of interest is the “terrestrial and marine components within the EEZ of the U.S. Caribbean, and Navassa Island, with consideration of relevant drivers, policies and impacts originating in the wider Caribbean region. The wider Caribbean is defined by UNEP.”

The Steering Committee also agreed upon four Fundamental Objectives, which will frame all future collaborative efforts of the CLCC (no particular order):

Maximize use of available operational resources

Maximize public satisfaction and well-being

Maximize the structure and function of aquatic and terrestrial resources

Maximize the integrity of cultural and historic resources

The Steering Committee agreed to create Tiger Teams, or subteams with a specific short-term task, to flesh out specific objectives and indicators for each of the Fundamental objectives.

Questions on this science planning process should be directed to CLCC Science Coordinator Brent Murry.

Kingston Aviation | Touch and Go

Earlier today, I was observing several small, single and twin-engine aircrafts used in the training of several student pilots practicing the fundamental flight training maneuver that is landing followed by immediate take off, commonly called Touch-and-Go Landing, at the Kingston Airport. I quickly realized that a succession of planes was following similar flight patterns with potential for crossing the Waxing Gibbous (90% Luminosity) moon disk. Although I tried my best to fine tune my alignment, the aircrafts were inconsistent in maintaining altitude relative to earth’s natural satellite as they were looping back to the airport runway. So, the first two images are the only ones I could get a plane and the moon in the same frame in a sort of “over the moon” theme. In the mix, there was the arrival of the Canada Geese-tailed airCreebec aircraft servicing Northern communities.

i don't know if these were ever straight. i like standing here, looking down the row and seeing them out of alignment. everything seems out of balance.

And, Lo, the elders sayeth, that, One Day, the setting sun shall pass through the Driver's and Passenger's windows, in this venerable alignment, concurrently... In Thy Glory.

And the Angels go, "LAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaa".

this alternative uses a mostly wilshire alignment, but turns north at la brea then west along beverly. this alignment could gain from the potential ridership of the combined alternative without the extra cost of to subway lines.
