Municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) dry weather flows and potential flow sources as assessed by conventional and advanced bacterial analyses

Municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s) function in urbanized areas to convey flows during both wet weather (i.e., stormwater) and dry weather (i.e., urban runoff as well as subsurface sources of flow) to receiving waters. While urban stormwater is known to contain microbial and chemical pollutants, MS4 dry weather flows, or non-stormwater discharges (NSWDs), are much less studied, although they are also known to contain pollutants, especially when these flows include raw sewage. In addition, some natural NSWDs (e.g., from groundwater infiltrating MS4 pipes) are critical for aquatic habitat protection. Thus, it is important to distinguish NSWD sources to prevent non-natural flows while retaining natural waters (i.e., groundwater). Here, MS4 dry weather flows were assessed by analyzing water samples from MS4 outfalls across multiple watersheds and water provider service areas in south Orange County, CA; potential NSWD sources including sewage, recycled water, potable water, and groundwater were sampled and analyzed for their likely contributions to overall NSWDs. Geochemical and microbiological water quality indicators, as well as bacterial communities, differed across NSWDs, yet water quality within most locations did not vary significantly diurnally or by sampling date. Meanwhile, NSWD source waters had distinctly different bacterial taxa abundances and specific bacterial genera. Shared geochemical and microbial characteristics of certain sources and outfall flows suggested the contributions of sources to outfall flows. The average proportions by sources contributing to MS4 outfalls were further estimated by SourceTracker and FEAST, respectively. The results of this study highlight the use of multiple tools when assessing chemical and microbiological water quality to predict sources of NSWDs contributing to urban MS4 flows during dry weather. This information can be used to support management actions to reduce unnatural and high risk sources of dry weather drainage while preserving natural sources important to environmental health in downstream receiving waters.

Estimating effectiveness of speed reduction measures for pedestrian crossing treatments using an empirically supported speed choice modeling framework

Pedestrian crossing treatments, such as Pedestrian Hybrid Beacons (PHBs) and Rectangular Rapid-Flashing Beacons (RRFBs), are traffic control devices implemented to help pedestrians safely cross busy or higher-speed roadways at midblock crossings and uncontrolled intersections. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of the PHB and RRFB by analyzing drivers’ speeding behavior under different roadway types with real-life traffic conditions. In order to understand the effect of pedestrian crossing treatments (i.e., PHB and RRFB) have on drivers’ speeding behavior, this paper analyzes four zones (i.e., one upstream zone and three consecutive downstream zones). For the four analysis zones, different indexes were computed which corresponds to the differences in drivers’ speed when encountered with the pedestrian crossing treatments. A grouped random effect hurdle beta regression model is estimated for the indexes, with a fixed effect hurdle beta model used for comparison and validating the importance of considering the grouped random heterogeneity across participants. The proposed analysis framework was validated by the means of an empirical driving simulator study, based on two urban roads in the Central Florida region, North Alafaya Trail (SR-434) and South Orange Blossom Trail (US-441). The results revealed that the proposed modeling framework reflects drivers’ difference in speed for the different pedestrian crossing treatments. The results suggest that with proper understanding of the PHB, the PHB can reduce drivers speed even beyond the location of the PHB. Meanwhile, the RRFB does have some effect in speed reduction beyond the location of the RRFB, however many drivers failed to acknowledge the RRFB. It is suggested that when drivers’ have proper education on the use of the PHB to reduce speed safely and for the installation of RRFB be on roads with two or less lanes and a speed limit less than 40 mph. While the main purpose of the pedestrian crossing treatments is to help pedestrians cross safely, speed reduction can be considered a byproduct as revealed in this study.

Developing Ecological Flow Needs in a Highly Altered Region: Application of California Environmental Flows Framework in Southern California, USA

Flow alteration is a pervasive issue across highly urbanized watersheds that can impact the physical and biological condition of streams. In highly altered systems, flows may support novel ecosystems that may not have been found under natural conditions and reference-based environmental flow targets may not be relevant. Moreover, stream impairments such as altered channel morphology may make reference-based environmental flow targets less effective in supporting ecosystem functions. Here, we develop an approach for determining ecological flow needs in highly modified systems to support existing ecological uses utilizing the California Environmental Flows Framework (CEFF). CEFF was established to provide guidance on developing environmental flow recommendations across California’s diverse physical landscape and broad array of management contexts. This paper illustrates the application of CEFF in informing ecologically-based flow restoration in a highly altered region of South Orange County, California. The steps of CEFF were implemented including a stakeholder process to establish goals and provide input throughout the project; identifying the natural ranges of functional flow metrics, or distinct components of the natural flow regime that support ecosystem functions; refining ecological flow needs to account for altered channel morphology and the life history needs of riparian and fish species; and assessing flow alteration to inform management strategies. Key considerations and lessons learned are discussed in the context of developing ecological flow needs in highly altered systems including when non-flow related management actions (i.e., channel rehabilitation) are necessary to achieve ecological goals.

RARE CASE OF SALMONELLA EMPYEMA IN MULTIPLE, LARGE LOCULATED PLEURAL FLUID COLLECTIONS

SESSION TITLE: Monday Medical Student/Resident Case Report Posters SESSION TYPE: Med Student/Res Case Rep Postr PRESENTED ON: 10/21/2019 02:30 PM - 03:15 PM INTRODUCTION: Non-typhoidal Salmonella as a cause of empyema is very unusual with approximately 30 cases reported in the literature (1). Salmonella usually causes gastroenteritis while less commonly causing meningitis or osteomyelitis. Here, we present a case of Salmonella empyema due to Salmonella montevideo in an asplenic patient without gastrointestinal symptoms. CASE PRESENTATION: 57 y.o Caucasian male presented with shortness of breath for three weeks that acutely worsened over three days along with pleuritic chest pain and a cough productive of yellow sputum. He denied hemoptysis but reported chills. History also significant for chronic alcoholism and splenectomy at age six. He was noted to be tachycardic and tachypneic on admission along with a WBC of 13.1. He was afebrile. Physical exam was notable for diminished breath sounds over left lung field and presence of digital clubbing along with cachexia. CT chest showed multiple, large, partially loculated fluid collections in the pleural space of the left hemithorax causing almost complete atelectasis of left lung. A left sided chest tube was placed with 550cc output of foul-smelling, frankly purulent fluid; found to be exudative with pH 7.5 and LDH 3,745. Empiric antibiotic coverage was started. Patient did not have any gastrointestinal symptoms. His pleural fluid cultures grew Salmonella montevideo, sensitive to Ampicillin. He was placed on Augmentin for 21 days and discharged with appropriate vaccinations. DISCUSSION: In this case, we showcase the rare presence of Salmonella in a patient with multiple loculated pleural fluid collections. Given his history of chronic alcoholism, it was suspected that he had episodes of micro-aspiration events associated with retching. Our case is unique in comparison to previously documented cases of Salmonella empyema in that our patient presented with left-sided pathology (2). Typically, aspirated contents are most commonly found in the right lung. In the absence of neurological compromise, as well as absence of GI fistulas, the finding of left-sided complicated fluid collections is impressive. We also show unorthodox pleural fluid studies with alkalotic pH levels inconsistent with conventional definitions of empyema (pH less than 7.2) in the setting of frank pus. Of note, all documented cases of Salmonella empyema have also had significantly elevated levels of pleural fluid LDH values in the thousands (3). We pose that there is a possible association between Salmonella metabolism in pleural fluid that influences these unique pleural fluid findings and further research can help elucidate this association. CONCLUSIONS: While the presence of Salmonella in the respiratory tract is unconventional, we recommend a high index of suspicion for this pathogen as as a causative agent in empyemas, particularly in immunocompromised patients.

Philip Roth: Face to Face

Philip RothFace to Face Ira Nadel (bio) It was Chancellor Blvd. that brought me to Philip Roth. Stash's Anchor Inn on Hawthorne Avenue and the Weequahic Diner at the corner of Elizabeth and Hawthorne avenues also helped. My mother, Newark-born, would often return to visit her old haunts and I would troop along to enjoy a shrimp cocktail at Stash's or dessert at the diner. Often, we went shopping at Bamberger's department store for school clothes. In distant Rahway, the styles and choice were just not au courant for the suburban primary grades. My mother's preferred parking lot was next to the Empire Burlesque Theatre on Washington Street, a block from Market, and I vividly recall studying the posters of the scantily clad women just as Portnoy remembers in his complaint. The Adams Theatre, run by Harold Minsky, was another local attraction, but it was a few blocks away. The Empire and Adams, however, both had to close in 1957 because of new anti-burlesque bylaws. One night in January 1957, twenty-one of Newark's most talented performers were arrested. South Orange, West Orange, and Irvington were not mythical but actual places for me with swim clubs, cousins, and even dates. Neil Klugman's world of Goodbye, Columbus was for me a place to touch and taste and linger. Connections with Roth existed even before I learned that he and I were both born in Newark's Beth Israel Hospital, although a decade apart. I Roth and I first met formally when I was an undergraduate at Rutgers (New Brunswick, not Newark). I soon began to read every new Roth work and vividly recall attending a seminar he gave for some fifty—or was it sixty?—at Princeton. Crowded into a large, oak-paneled room, I still remember his wry answer to what was back then an archetypal question: "do you write with a pen or with a typewriter?" He characteristically deflected a reply, choosing [End Page 105] instead to emphasize the daily struggle to write well, something borrowed from the world of Henry James, but expressed with Newark style. Click for larger view View full resolution Copyright The Star Ledger; NJ Advance Media. Published June 11, 1954. My doctoral defense at Cornell unexpectedly continued my engagement with Roth. It was largely devoted to only one subject and it was not "Renunciation in the Works of Thomas Carlyle and George Eliot." Portnoy's Complaint took precedence, having appeared only a few months before. Of course, I had studied [End Page 106] it carefully and considered myself a partial expert, confidently explaining to my New Jersey born committee member, M. H. Abrams, that it might indeed signal a new and enthralling urban Romanticism. He wanted to know more. Roth after graduate school became a repeated pleasure, although I did not begin to write about him until years later. Articles, conferences, and a reference book expanded my own early understanding of identity politics for I, too, had spent listless hours in Hebrew School, wandered about Weequahic Park, and hoped to go to Bucknell—but Roth also taught me about the complexities of an American Jewish identity and conflicts with the social world one inhabited. Attracted to his language, themes, and carefully detailed settings, I sought to know more and his essays taught me what questions to ask. Although there was halting correspondence over the years (most often with his legal representatives), we did not meet again until his eightieth birthday celebration at the Newark Museum. Offering congratulations while in the swirling crowd, he stared at me for a moment, aware I was about to undertake a critical biography, before saying, with a tone of incredulity, "You? You're Ira?" "Yes," I replied, unable to utter another word before he was swept away by his ardent admirers. I took solace in being photographed with Blake Bailey. Without time for an incisive question, or another compliment that evening, I became an observer, understanding the importance of boundaries as he refused requests to sign books and even to speak to certain intrusive individuals. Roth was happiest entering with the Weequahic High School marching band and sitting with Edna...

The Will of Herman Melville

The Will of Herman Melville John M. J. Gretchko The contents of Herman Melville's will and the appraiser's inventory of his effects have been long known. This note supplies a few more facts about the will's witnesses, the comparative value of his books, and Melville's death and offers new information on matters of probate. Melville had his will prepared on 11 June 1888. His executrix and sole heir was his wife Elizabeth. The will bequeathed his property, including money in the bank and real estate in Gansevoort, New York, to his wife. However, by the time of his death, the Gansevoort property, essentially consisting of the Mansion House, had already been sold and/or allocated to all heirs. Melville had confidence that Elizabeth would benefit their daughters, Frances and Elizabeth, and existent granddaughters, Eleanor Melville, Frances Cuthbert, and Katherine Gansevoort Thomas. The fourth granddaughter, Jeannette Ogden Thomas, would not be born until 1892. Witnesses to the will were P(hineas) Minturn Smith, S(eymour) N. Robinson, and H(enry) B(esson) Thomas. Smith was the President of the Union Iron Works, an iron manufacturer at 45 Broadway. Robinson was his secretary who in probate deposition declared that he was well acquainted with Melville and had known him for three years. Thomas, an iron broker probably employed by Smith and of Quaker heritage, who lived in South Orange, New Jersey, was the husband of Melville's daughter Frances. In deposition, he declared that he had known Melville for fourteen years. Melville's estate was worth $13,261.31, which consisted of $4,532.56 in cash, seven $1,000 United States Registered Bonds at 4%, and about 1,000 books overvalued at $600 and later realistically garnering about $110 (Charvat 252). Unfortunately his books were not itemized. His sister-in-law, Jane L. Melville, had died the year before on 30 March 1890. Her extensive and varied book collection of 158 titles and authors in approximately 460 volumes, much of which consisted of her husband Allan's library, was itemized and valued at $62.85. This sum for Jane's 460 volumes is in line with the $110 achieved by the contemporary sale of Melville's 1000 books. [End Page 95] Herman Melville died on 28 September 1891 at 104 East 26th St. in New York City around 12:30 am. The cause of death was listed as cardiac dilation and mitral regurgitation with a contributing cause of asthenia or loss of strength. Dr. Everett. S. Warner, who lived diagonally across the street at number 117, had attended him since July. Melville's wake was at his home. The undertaker, Joseph Freed, who lived at 104 East 20th St. and whose business address was at 359 4th Ave., interred him at Woodlawn Cemetery on 30 September. On 16 October 1891, Herman Melville's will was filed for probate. Charles N. Morgan of 69 Wall St. was Elizabeth's attorney. On 27 October 1891, the Surrogate Court Judge, the Honorable Rastus Seneca Ransom, admitted the will to probate. Ransom (1839–1917) would become President of the Society of American Authors. Its Bulletin would publish a memorial essay titled "Herman Melville" by its editor Mary Lanman Douw Ferris, which contained a reproduction of the 1885 Rockwood photo of Melville. Ferris was a Melville third cousin once removed (McNeilly 4). John M. J. Gretchko Cleveland, Ohio Works Cited Charvat, William. "Melville's Income." American Literature 15.3 (Nov. 1943): 251–61.

Stewards of the Mysteries of God: Immaculate Conception Seminary, 1860–2010 by Robert James Wister

Reviewed by: Stewards of the Mysteries of God: Immaculate Conception Seminary, 1860–2010 by Robert James Wister Joseph M. White Stewards of the Mysteries of God: Immaculate Conception Seminary, 1860–2010. By Robert James Wister. (South Orange, New Jersey: Immaculate Conception Seminary, 2010 Pp. 496) For the 150th anniversary of the Archdiocese of Newark’s historic institution for educating “Stewards of the Mysteries of God” (its motto), Robert J. Wister provides an outstanding narrative of one seminary’s progress from the immigrant-Church era to the twenty-first century. His meticulous attention to contexts and lived experience of a seminary community for each period makes his story a model of scholarship and enjoyable to read. For New Jersey, the diocese of Newark was established in 1853—one of ten sees created that year as Irish and German immigration to the United States surged. In 1855, founding Bishop James Roosevelt Bayley, Mother Elizabeth Seton’s nephew, opened male-only Seton Hall College in Madison. In 1860, the college was relocated to South Orange, closer to Newark, and in its new building a seminary was opened. Like most antebellum U.S. bishops, Bayley started a seminary to train diocesan priests locally to diminish the dependence on recruiting priests from Europe. Fire destroyed the building in 1866; a new three-story Gothic structure, still in use, took its place. Despite seminarians’ services in staffing the college, the institution struggled with debts, low enrollment, and calls for its closing. [End Page 356] Bishop Michael A. Corrigan’s family wealth rescued it. Its standards were high, and its state charter enabled seminarians to earn a bachelor’s degree for collegiate studies and a master’s degree for theology—credentials not available at most diocesan seminaries. For the early twentieth century, Wister integrates the seminary story with the Holy See’s new direction for priesthood formation worldwide, hence addressing the condemnation of Modernism (1907), the Oath against Modernism (1910) mandated for faculties, the creation of the Sacred Congregation of Seminaries and Universities (1915) to issue regulations and require reports, and the Code of Canon Law (1917) that outlines the Church’s first-ever organizational plan for the seminary. In light of Church authority’s hostility toward new directions in theological learning, Wister profiles seminarian Will Durant, enrolled 1909–1911, whose restless intellect prompted him to leave the Church. He went on to publish his bestselling, The Story of Philosophy, and, with wife Ariel, the eleven-volume Story of Civilization. As New Jersey’s Catholic population grew, Newark’s diocesan area was reduced with the formation of new dioceses at Trenton in 1881 and Paterson and Camden in 1937. In the latter year, Newark was raised to an archdiocese. To expand enrollment, the seminary was relocated in 1927 from the Seton Hall campus to two mansions at Darlington in the scenic isolation of northern New Jersey. Wister vividly portrays Archbishop Thomas Walsh’s wily depression-era fundraising to construct an imposing seminary building there to accommodate 275 and was completed in 1938. Between the World Wars, Msgr. Thomas McLaughlin, seminary rector 1922–1937, like counterparts elsewhere and at the legalistic Walsh’s behest, enforced the era’s vision of seminary life that kept the students at their rural redoubt during the summer. The “Teutonic Irishman” (111), McLaughlin had taken seminary and graduate studies with the Jesuits at Innsbruck, Austria. A “terror in his own right,” (143) this classic rector enforced detailed rules keeping seminarians’ personal freedom and initiative narrow to ensure docility and humility. He and Walsh required of students high academic performance and bilingual skills to serve a multi-ethnic flock. They developed a high-quality priest faculty with doctorates from European universities. Seton Hall College continued conferring bachelor’s degrees on seminarians, but its own accreditation prompted ending the master’s degree in theology in 1932. For the period 1961–2010, Wister presents the seminary culture in a complex transition from the Walsh-McLaughlin legacy to positive responses to current educational and theological standards. During Vatican II (1962–1965), anticipation of change created varied expectations in the seminary community’s sometimes bewildered staff and faculty and assertive seminarians.
