Neighbors 1988 speaker in the story
This story was also updated on April 23rd, When Sean Hudson moved from Tuscaloosa, Alabama to the Woodlawn neighborhood five years ago, he says he noticed a divide in the community. Sean, who is African-American, had moved to Chicago to attend graduate school at the University of Chicago. He says his white neighbors didn't have much to say about the U of C and didn't seem aware of any tensions between the school and some African-American residents living in the nearby communities. But as he traveled south on Cottage Grove Avenue, he says he found more long-time African-American residents who had a negative opinion of the prestigious university.

Immigration, Social Cohesion and National Identity
Hard against Baltimore-Washington International Airport, a neighborhood of tightly packed brick homes and basketball hoops is the subject of a debate inside the Federal Aviation Administration with national implications. At issue in Allwood is a new variety of jet noise first documented by airport engineers in September They found that, unlike most neighborhoods rimming major airports hit by high-frequency noise from jets passing overhead, homes along Allwood Drive were buffeted by low-frequency blasts from planes taking off.
West, the MAA's associate administrator. They have set up jet simulators, huge concert-style speakers, in the neighborhood to blast two test homes with the chest-thumping noise to see how it differs from the common high-frequency pitch near airports. Cascio, who has lived with real jet blasts in the block of Allwood Drive for 25 years.
Windows shake. The noise is so bad you can't hear [anything] if you're talking to somebody. None exists now. The FAA's decision, expected by summer, could have enormous implications -- not only for the 82 Allwood homeowners but for flight-path communities from Los Angeles to Boston. A strip of split-level homes, Allwood is at the crossroads of politics, public money and property rights.
For Allwood residents, some of whom have waited more than three years for government aid to soundproof their homes, the issue is a matter of peace and property values. Germuth Jr. Michael W. Burns, a Glen Burnie Republican who represents the neighborhood, said he is "very surprised that science has taken this long to catch up.
But I don't think they've put a high enough priority on it," he said. More than homes fall within BWI's 7,acre "noise zone," making them eligible for government help to block airport noise.
Fifty-four Allwood homes appear eligible for some federal and state money; the owners of 24 have applied. That is supposed to double by the time the program runs its course. Almost homes in such neighborhoods as Glen Burnie Park and Linthicum have either been soundproofed or sold under a program in which the MAA reimburses homeowners for lost property value. But no help has been given along Allwood Drive, and that may not change.
If the FAA decides against setting low-frequency noise standards, which MAA officials say is a possibility, Allwood residents might not be eligible for any assistance, leaving them with jet noise and dwindling property values. One is that we wouldn't be able to fund the improved soundproofing package. Said Edward Johnson, who has lived in the block of Allwood Drive for almost 20 years: "They're causing it.
I think they should do something to stop it. For the FAA, the debate involves a lot of money. Residents near Boston's Logan International Airport, for one, have a stake in the results. But the story begins before that, in , soon after deregulation of the airline industry.
All property where jet noise averaged more than 65 decibels over 24 hours -- the equivalent of standing 10 feet from a running vacuum cleaner all day -- was included in the noise zone.
The agency held 25 community meetings, used computers to study noise patterns and weather conditions, and took into account future airport growth. But Allwood was not included in the 11,acre zone, although it had been in the plan. Neighborhood residents immediately appealed the omission to the MAA. They argued that the computer model used to estimate noise patterns had "underpredicted" their neighborhood.
Allwood Drive sits about 2, feet northwest of Runway 28R -- the main strip for an average of jet takeoffs a day. The noise curls toward the homes in deep rumbles, which have reportedly cracked ceilings, caused sleepless nights and depressed property values. Almost all airport noise is the result of jets passing overhead, which emit a high-frequency screech.
But the noise produced by jets throttling up moments before they shoot down 28R unfolds in low-frequency waves. Ropelewski, "the high-frequency noise is what hurts your ears.
The low-frequency is what causes the shaking and rattling. Allwood residents have been living with it. It's not every few hours.
It's constantly. After extensive study following the updating, West said, "we came to believe that the area was being underpredicted by our model. All 82 Allwood homes eventually were included in the noise zone after the revision, but the discovery of the low-frequency noise stalled soundproofing applications soon after.
Twenty-eight Allwood homes, a newer development on the street, were not eligible for the homeowner assistance program. In the s, when those homes were being sold, buyers gave up "avigation easements" -- legal rights to the air above their homes -- when they signed the deed. Residents have complained that the soundproofing standards for those new homes approved by the MAA were inadequate.
Those standards, which West signed off on, match Anne Arundel County's "thermal-efficiency" measures -- extra insulation, thick windows and other structural additions to keep in heat.
But the specifications are not nearly as stringent as current soundproofing standards. Said Burns, the state delegate: "Unless something significant is done at the federal level, I don't see how those easements can stand. The issue has always been politically charged. The General Assembly, which is responsible for paying 20 percent of the homeowner assistance costs, has been looking for ways to shrink the program since the late s.
Michael J. Wagner, a Glen Burnie Democrat who sponsored much of the airport noise legislation. In , the General Assembly passed legislation directing the MAA to shrink the noise zone from 11, acres to 8, over the next four years even as the airport was expanding. Four years later, the MAA approved the current 7,acre noise zone that will be reviewed again next year. The noise zone was shrunk partly as a result of new, quieter airplanes.
Those models now account for 80 percent of the flights in and out of BWI. But Allwood residents say the shrinking zone does not mean shrinking noise in their neighborhood. In the spring, the test results will be forwarded to the FAA in Washington, but residents have little hope for the result.
Antlitz, a neighborhood resident for 24 years. But the rub is whichever one is the cheapest, that's the one they're going to offer to the people in Allwood. Said West: "It's a decision that will be made in [FAA] headquarters and will be discussed by a lot of people. Our worst fear is that they will say they can't participate until the airline industry knows more.

Much anthologized, the poem has almost come to symbolize Frost, for good or ill. The secret of what it means I keep. He makes boundaries and he breaks boundaries. Winter does not love a wall, we learn in the second line; it creates gaps in the wall. The ground swells and the less securely placed boulders tumble off. The speaker explains that hunters are also sometimes responsible for the gaps. The gaps are mysterious, however. The winter and the hunter are suggestions: No one ever actually hears them or sees the gaps made. It is not until spring, when the speaker and his neighbor ritualistically meet at the wall for mending, that they discover the gaps and set about filling them.
The American Latino Experience: 20 Essential Films Since 2000

As more surveys come out showing that Black Americans are more hesitant than white Americans to get the coronavirus vaccine, more journalists, politicians and health officials — from New York Gov.

Immigration and multiculturalism continue to be major issues for Australians concerned about the state of the nation and its future. Debate on these topics is however often heated and not well informed. The paper sets out to clarify what Australians really think about a range of issues connected with immigration and multiculturalism , based on evidence collected from a variety of sources. Australian attitudes are related both to the characteristics of Government policies, and to popular perceptions of migrants and policy objectives. Attention is also given to the question of the future relevance of multicultural policies. The findings clearly indicate consistent majority support for lower immigration levels, but a mixture of positives and negatives in relation to multiculturalism.

Van Nuys residents and community leaders voiced compliments and complaints to the Los Angeles Planning Commission on Thursday about a plan to transform Van Nuys Boulevard into a bustling business district with high-rises and fashionable shopping areas. The proposal was prepared by a team of urban designers during a 6-day workshop in October under a grant to the city from the National Endowment for the Arts. It calls for several high-rise offices and an expanded pedestrian mall with outdoor cafes and landscaped parkways on Van Nuys between Vanowen and Oxnard streets.
