Ithaca, NY // Hey Gorges! - waterfalls, Cornell, & Carl Sagan's final resting place

New York State Hops and Craft Beer Revival
New York is fermenting a renaissance. Once the leading producer of hops and beer in the United States, our state is beginning to see a vibrant revival in hops cultivation and the growth of microbreweries. At a Cornell Reunion 2014 lecture at Mann Library, Steve Miller, hops specialist with Cornell Cooperative Extension of Madison County, and Randy Lacey ’77, MEng. ’99, owner of Hopshire Farm and Brewery in Freeville, N.Y., present a look at the history and current developments in the production of hops and the emergence of farm breweries in the state. This program was presented in conjunction with Mann Library’s summer exhibit, “For a Quart of Ale Is a Dish Fit for a King: The Craft Beer Tradition and Its Revival in New York State.”

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

THE HISTORY CENTER IN TOMPKINS COUNTY | Tompkins County
Located in the renovated Gateway Center in Ithaca, just walking distance from the Commons, the History Center in Tompkins County maintains an extensive collection and provides a variety of unique exhibitions and programs on local history.
The center's main goal is to give community members access to the tools needed to study the past in order to illuminate the present. To accomplish this mission the museum offers educational programs, workshops, resource programs, and walking tours -- each designed to accommodate students and adults of all ages.
Research materials include an extensive collection of books, manuscripts, ledgers, maps and photographs. The museum also house genealogy resources including thousands of local family files, cemetery listings, census records and directories.
In addition to its facility in Ithaca, the History Center owns a fully restored one-room schoolhouse in the Town of Dryden. Built in 1827, and currently listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Eight Square Schoolhouse is the only surviving octagonal brick schoolhouse in New York State.
The History Center in Tompkins County is also member of the Discovery Trail, a partnership of eight educational organizations promoting the connections between science, nature and culture. In Ithaca, the Discovery Trail runs right along New York's Path Through History.

10 Great Places to Live in 2013
Which cities offer the best combination of affordability good jobs and
quality schools?
Kiplinger's crunched the numbers and is out with 10 Great Places to Live.
This list is a nice representation of Americana says Marc Wojno Kiplinger's
Senior Associate Editor and what's so interesting about these cities is
that they each in their own unique way offer opportunities for their
residents and visitors alike.
Topping off the list, #10: Dubuque, Iowa; #9: Anchorage, Alaska; #8 Ithaca
New York; #7 Morgantown, West Virginia; #6: Billings Montana.
These cities have what Kiplinger's calls, EDS and MEDS -- robust
education and healthcare sectors that provide not only solid job growth,
but also critical services for aging baby boomers. You don't have to
travel to cities like Pittsburgh if you live in Morgantown, for example;
these cities each have significant facilities and offer quality medical
care, says Wojno. As for the top five...
#5: Columbia, South Carolina
In this Famously Hot college and military town, you can cool down in
local rivers and lakes. The city is also home to seven major hospitals and
offers ample job opportunities in health care and government.
#4: Santa Fe, New Mexico
With an unemployment rate of just 5%, its economy is bolstered by the
tourism industry and government jobs, including the Los Alamos National
Laboratory. Just 45 minutes away, it's one of the largest research labs in
the nation.
#3: Bryan-College Station, Texas
These twin cities, known as Aggieland, are the home of Texas A&M
University and the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum. College
spirit fuels the region's economic growth.
#2: Burlington, Vermont
A hub for green technology, its vibrant economy boasts an impressive three
and a half percent unemployment rate. As for the scenery? Gorgeous!
And finally...
#1: Little Rock, Arkansas
This city of 200,000 offers sophisticated amenities with a small-town feel.
Residents of this state capital can take in a concert by the Arkansas
Symphony Orchestra or go boating on the Arkansas River. The Clinton
Presidential Library--a big draw for tourists--also attracts world-class
lecturers for the locals to enjoy.
Centralia BURNING GHOST TOWN - Abandoned Pennsylvania Town
The Centralia burning ghost town was evacuated by a raging underground mine fire that started in 1962, leaving the town completely abandoned. Today, the Centralia mine fire still rages and has been burning for over 50 years. Come with us as we explore Centralia graffiti highway, walk through this literal ghost town, and take you on an exciting adventure.
The town in central PA, aka Centralia Pennsylvania lost town, is known for it’s influence on the production of Silent Hill. Many come to this town in search of urban exploring, creepy places, and graffiti, but it’s actually a local hangout spot for families, mountain bikers, and ATV riders alike. The vibe of Centralia was definitely less creepy than we expected, but I guess “ghost town” is the right word for a reason because all the houses were knocked down by the government so that homeless persons could not inhabit the area.
Centralia is actually not completely a ghost town, as 7 residents fought to stay in the town and remain there today. The town with a population of 7 has been stripped of it’s zip code and no longer has any municipal workers to maintain the area.
Centralia graffiti highway is the main destination when visiting this area and because the Centralia mine fire is still blazing today, it is slowly corroding the highway allowing smoke to billow out of the cracks during cold winter days. Another creepy fact according to History.com is “Graves in the town’s two cemeteries are believed to have dropped into the abyss of fire that rages below them.” A 12 year old boy was also reported to have fallen into a sink hole in his backyard, nearly escaping death.
Centralia was relatively lively when we visited so I don’t know if we would call it one of the creepy places Pennsylvania has to offer. It’s most likely a lot creepier during the winter when you can see smoke coming up from the ground. Either way, we hope you guys liked this video and subscribe if you want to see more content like this! We will see you guys tomorrow, seeya!

Carl Sagan: SDI Debate - Vision or Delusion? (1987)
Edward John Markey (born July 11, 1946) is an American politician serving as the junior United States Senator from Massachusetts since 2013. A member of the Democratic Party, he was the U.S. Representative for Massachusetts's 7th congressional district from 1976 to 2013. Between the two offices, Markey has been in Congress for more than 41 years. He also served in the Massachusetts House of Representatives from 1973 to 1976.
Markey has focused on energy policy and was Chairman of the House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming from 2007 to 2011. In 2013, after John Kerry was appointed United States Secretary of State, he was elected to serve out the balance of Kerry's sixth Senate term in a 2013 special election. Markey defeated Stephen Lynch in the Democratic primary and Republican Gabriel E. Gomez in the general election. When he left the House, he was its eighth most senior member. In 2014 Markey was elected to a full six-year Senate term. He is the dean of the Massachusetts congressional delegation and the second longest-serving current member of Congress from New England, behind Senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont.
The 1997 movie Contact, based on Sagan's novel of the same name and finished after his death, ends with the dedication For Carl. His photo can also be seen at 59:23 in the film.
In 1997 the Sagan Planet Walk was opened in Ithaca, New York. It is a walking-scale model of the Solar System, extending 1.2 km from the center of The Commons in downtown Ithaca to the Sciencenter, a hands-on museum. The exhibition was created in memory of Carl Sagan, who was an Ithaca resident and Cornell Professor. Professor Sagan had been a founding member of the museum's advisory board.[137]
The landing site of the unmanned Mars Pathfinder spacecraft was renamed the Carl Sagan Memorial Station on July 5, 1997. Asteroid 2709 Sagan is named in his honor, as is the Carl Sagan Institute for the search of habitable planets.
Sagan's son, Nick Sagan, wrote several episodes in the Star Trek franchise. In an episode of Star Trek: Enterprise entitled Terra Prime, a quick shot is shown of the relic rover Sojourner, part of the Mars Pathfinder mission, placed by a historical marker at Carl Sagan Memorial Station on the Martian surface. The marker displays a quote from Sagan: Whatever the reason you're on Mars, I'm glad you're there, and I wish I was with you. Sagan's student Steve Squyres led the team that landed the rovers Spirit and Opportunity successfully on Mars in 2004.
On November 9, 2001, on what would have been Sagan's 67th birthday, the Ames Research Center dedicated the site for the Carl Sagan Center for the Study of Life in the Cosmos. Carl was an incredible visionary, and now his legacy can be preserved and advanced by a 21st century research and education laboratory committed to enhancing our understanding of life in the universe and furthering the cause of space exploration for all time, said NASA Administrator Daniel Goldin. Ann Druyan was at the Center as it opened its doors on October 22, 2006.

Beware Invasive Species (June 2013)
Watertown, NY, June 18, 2013 - A small army of college students is helping educate those who use New York's waters about the dangers of aquatic invasive species.
New York Sea Grant's Recreation/Tourism Specialist Dave White says they're called launch stewards.
As White tells the newscasters at Watertown's WWNY-TV 7 News This Morning studios, these stewards station themselves at state boat launches to help educate boaters, fishermen and divers about how to prevent invasive species from spreading between bodies of water.
It's really anything that comes in contact with the water that can contribute to this problem, says White, citing not only boats and trailers, but also nets, fishing poles, bait buckets, boots and diving equipment.
Sea Grant is working with New York State and the NYSDEC to not only further develop this program, but also to work with the boating and angling communities to be aware of any chances for changes in legislation.
This is a real voluntary effort, so the more we can get engaged to help prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species, the better it is going to be for everybody.
A few of the big concerns now: Asian Carp as well as Hydrilla, the latter of which, as White explains, is a very aggressive aquatic weed that was found in Ithaca and western New York. It's of great concern because it forms very dense mats and can cost millions of dollars a year to control.
For more on this topic, check out the video clip.
And there's more NYSG Great Lakes Boating & Marine Trades News available via the News/Topics link in the left-hand sidebar at nyseagrant.org/marina.
Information on NYSG's Launch Stewards program and AIS efforts can be found, respectively, at nyseagrant.org/ccdstewards and nyseagrant.org/ais.
Since April 2006, White has been bringing Sea Grant's message to the morning masses at WWNY TV 7, a Fox affiliate in downtown Watertown, during one of the highest rated TV blocks in the wake-up hours, the 6:30-7 am stretch.
Sea Grant's 'five minutes of fame' - which potentially reaches around 10,000 viewers in New York's Jefferson and Northern Oswego Counties - has featured topics over the years such as boating safety, aquatic invasive species, diving in search of sunken wrecks, the dune and Salmon River stewards program, shoreline land issues, tourism, and marine safety.
HARRY HOUDINI - WikiVidi Documentary
Harry Houdini was an Austro-Hungarian-born American stage magician and stunt performer, noted for his sensational escape acts. He first attracted notice in vaudeville in the US and then as Harry Handcuff Houdini on a tour of Europe, where he challenged police forces to keep him locked up. Soon he extended his repertoire to include chains, ropes slung from skyscrapers, straitjackets under water, and having to escape from and hold his breath inside a sealed milk can with water in it. In 1904, thousands watched as he tried to escape from special handcuffs commissioned by London's Daily Mirror, keeping them in suspense for an hour. Another stunt saw him buried alive and only just able to claw himself to the surface, emerging in a state of near-breakdown. While many suspected that these escapes were faked, Houdini presented himself as the scourge of fake spiritualists. As President of the Society of American Magicians, he was keen to uphold professional standards and expose fraudulent...

Poetry By Patricia Goedicke
Poetry reading in the Missoula Art Museum, held shortly after the new wing and re-model was completed.
Born Patricia McKenna in Boston, Massachusetts, she grew up in Hanover, New Hampshire, where her father was a resident psychiatrist at Dartmouth College. During her high school years she was an accomplished downhill skier. She earned her B.A. at Middlebury College in 1953, where she studied with Robert Frost. She also studied under W. H. Auden at Young Men's Hebrew Association of New York City in 1955.
She married in 1956 Victor Goedicke, a professor at Ohio University, where in 1965 she completed her M.A. in creative writing and poetry. She divorced in 1968, the same year that while an artist in residence at the MacDowell Colony in Peterborough, New Hampshire, she met Leonard Wallace Robinson. He was a writer for The New Yorker and a fiction editor and book editor at Esquire Magazine. They married in 1971. The couple later moved to San Miguel de Allende in the Mexican state of Guanajuato, where she taught creative writing at the Universidad de Guanajuato. Goedicke and Robinson returned to the United States in 1981, and she became professor at the University of Montana, where she taught until her retirement in 2003.
Her awards and honors include the Rockefeller Foundation Residency at its Villa Serbelloni; a National Endowment for the Arts Creative Writing Fellowship; a Pushcart Prize; the William Carlos Williams Prize; the 1987 Carolyn Kizer Prize; the Hohenberg Award, and the 1992 Edward Stanley Award from Prairie Schooner. Her last book was recognized as one of the top 10 poetry books of 2000 by the American Library Association. The Tongues We Speak was a New York Times Notable Book of the Year in 1990.
Goedicke died of pneumonia and a complication of lung cancer, at St. Patrick Hospital and Health Sciences Center in Missoula, Montana.

Benjamin Patterson Inn | Path Through History | WSKG
BENJAMIN PATTERSON INN | Steuben County
Located in Corning, the Benjamin Patterson Inn once gave weary travelers on New York's frontier a comfortable place to rest and relax.
Built in 1796 by Benjamin and Sarah Patterson, the inn sat along the old Williamson Road, now US Route 15, and the Chemung River. These two arteries of travel brought countless visitors to the Patterson's Inn. However, during the 20th century the inn slowly fell into disrepair.
In 1976, the Corning Painted Post Historical Society rescued the former inn and restored it to its former colonial glory, including full period furniture and belongings. Today's travelers can choose to visit the inn's functioning herb garden or one of other four historic buildings located on the museum's grounds.
