# Edison Bridge (New Jersey)

The Edison Bridge (officially the Thomas Alva Edison Memorial Bridge) and the Vieser bridge (officially the Ellis S. Vieser Memorial Bridge) are a pair of bridges that carry U.S. Route 9 in the state of New Jersey, spanning the Raritan River near its mouth in Raritan Bay. The bridge, which connects Woodbridge on the north with Sayreville on the south, was opened to weekend traffic starting on October 11, 1940, and was opened permanently on November 15, 1940. As of 2003, the bridge carries more than 82,000 vehicles daily and is owned and operated by the New Jersey Department of Transportation. It also runs directly parallel to the Driscoll Bridge, which carries the Garden State Parkway.

## Construction

The design of the Edison Bridge was the direct responsibility of Morris Goodkind, chief engineer of the bridge division of the New Jersey State Highway Department, a position he had held since 1925.
The bridge is named for Thomas Edison. Construction on the bridge was started on September 26, 1938. The Edison Bridge was officially dedicated on December 14, 1940, with the ribbon cut by Mrs. Mina Edison Hughes, widow of the inventor. Also participating in the ceremonies were New Jersey Governor A. Harry Moore, and then Governor-elect Charles Edison, son of the inventor, along with the bridge's designer, Morris Goodkind.
The final design called for a bridge with 29 spans and an overall length of 4,391 feet (1,338 m). The nine spans over the river would consist of three continuous span girders of record-setting proportions. The main girder over the navigation channel would be 650 feet (200 m) in length, consisting of a 250-foot (76 m) span flanked by two 200-foot (61 m) spans, and would set a new U.S. record for length. The two other continuous girders were each 600 feet (180 m) in length, consisting of three 200-foot (61 m) spans.
The final cost of the bridge was $4,696,000. More than 65,000 cubic yards (50,000 m$^3$) of masonry, 50 percent buried from sight, went into the foundations, piers, and deck of the bridge. Over 2,500,000 pounds (1,133.98 metric tons) of reinforcing steel and 19,000,000 pounds (8,618.26 metric tons) of structural steel were used.

## Rehabilitation

As part of a $48 million construction project, a major overhaul of the aging sixty-year-old bridge was undertaken, to address issues relating to the advanced age of the structure and to bring it up to the latest highway standards. The rehabilitated northbound span of the bridge was opened on to traffic on October 21, 2003, and marked the long-awaited conversion of the old Edison Bridge from a one-span, 4-lane structure with no shoulders to a two-span bridge with a total of six lanes with shoulders.
On November 19, 2001, the southbound span was officially renamed "The Ellis S. Vieser Memorial Bridge" in a bill sponsored by Senator Joseph Kyrillos.
# Elkhorn River Bridge

The Elkhorn River Bridge, located on a township road over the Elkhorn River, 3 miles east of Clearwater, Nebraska, was built in 1883 at cost of $2,050. Also known as Singing Bridge, it is designated NEHBS Number APOO-3. It is a Bowstring through arch truss bridge. It was built by King Iron Bridge Co. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.
It was moved about 5 miles (8.0 km) to its present location in about 1929, and replaced the former Krumm Bridge there. It has locally become known as the "Singing Bridge" because of sound made when driven over.
Cowboy Trail / 519th Avenue now crosses just to the east of the bridge, which now carries no traffic.
# Queens Detention Facility

The Queens Detention Facility (QDF) is a federal prison in the Springfield Gardens neighborhood of Jamaica, Queens, New York City, and operated by the private prison company GEO Group.
The facility opened in March 1997 under a contract between GEO Group and the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. When that agreement was not extended by ICE past its mid-2005 expiration, the United States Marshals Service contracted with GEO to house mostly pre-trial federal detainees here. The complex stands within an unmarked former warehouse in an industrial area adjacent to John F. Kennedy Airport, the entry point for many asylum seekers.
In 2020, press reports indicated the facility was most used to house prisoners who were cooperating with the government.
This facility is not to be confused with the Queens Detention Complex, a municipal jail operated by the New York City Department of Correction at 126-01 82nd Avenue, Kew Gardens.

## Controversy

The facility has a history of alleged civil rights abuses.
In late 1998 at least three inmates attempted suicide, and a number of frustrated asylum seekers engaged in a hunger strike protesting conditions and the length of their detentions. The case of Ghanaian refugee Adelaide Abankwah detained in QDF came to public attention in part because she had been incarcerated there for two years and five months. Abankwah's was one example of many extended detentions.
In 2004 more than half of the entire population went on another hunger strike to protest conditions. Local resistance to GEO's expansion plans in 2006 included a report that inmates were on 24-hour lockdown and had no access to exterior recreation. In 2009 two guards were convicted of covering up the beating of an inmate.
In December 2011 New York City Public Advocate Bill de Blasio (later elected Mayor of New York City in November 2013), along with three other city and state officials, called on the U.S. Department of Justice to end its association with the GEO Group. "This is not complicated: government should not do business with companies that violate basic human rights," de Blasio said.

# Fall Creek Stone Arch Bridge

Fall Creek Stone Arch Bridge is located near the Adams County town of Payson, Illinois. It spans Fall Creek about 1.2 miles northeast of Payson Road, upstream from the town. The bridge has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since November 7, 1996.

## History

It is largely unknown when the bridge was built but estimates put it somewhere in the early 19th century. The bridge's engineers and designers are lost to history as well yet their bridge remains.
The Fall Creek Stone Arch Bridge spans Fall Creek in a near perfect arc, a distance of 43 feet at a height of 35 feet from the creek. The bridge is constructed from limestone, gathered nearby. The records of its construction were lost in an 1880s fire.
# Otto Neu

Otto Adam Neu (September 24, 1894 – September 19, 1932) was a shortstop who played briefly in Major League Baseball during the 1917 season. Listed at 5 ft 11 in (1.80 m), 170 lb., Neu batted and threw right-handed. He was born in Springfield, Ohio.
Neu was a major leaguer whose career, statistically speaking, was similar to that of Moonlight Graham. Previously, he had played minor league baseball for the Senators, Indians and Browns organizations, and made his majors debut on July 10, 1917 with the Browns, appearing for them in a game against the Yankees at Sportsman's Park.
But Neu did not have a fielding chance or turn at-bat, and never appeared in a major league game again. Following his playing retirement he worked as a salesman.
Neu died of intestinal influenza in Kenton, Ohio, five days short of his 38th birthday.

## Legacy

The fantasy baseball platform Ottoneu derives its name from Otto Neu.

## Playing career

After graduating from Kenton Ridge High School in Springfield, Ohio, White attended Paducah Community College. He was drafted by the Pirates in the 15th round of the 1990 June draft, with the 403rd overall pick. After signing quickly, he made his professional debut with the Pirates' affiliate in the Gulf Coast League that fall. White worked primarily as a starting pitcher while advancing through the minors, and he started 14 games as a swingman with the Pirates in 1994 and 1995, before settling in as a reliever with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.
White enjoyed his best seasons as a professional with the Devil Rays, spending two and a half seasons as a key part of their bullpen, before being traded to the New York Mets in 2000. The Mets acquired White and outfielder Bubba Trammell in exchange for pitcher Paul Wilson and outfielder Jason Tyner. The Mets advanced to the World Series that season, but lost to the New York Yankees in five games.
White appeared in the postseason for a second time in 2002 as a member of the St. Louis Cardinals, who were eliminated in the NLCS by the San Francisco Giants. On June 23, 2006, the Philadelphia Phillies claimed White off waivers from the Cincinnati Reds. On February 2, 2007, the Houston Astros signed White to a minor-league contract. On June 29, 2007, the Astros released White after some ineffective outings. As a reliever for Houston, he was lights out with amazing numbers through Spring Training, allowing him to make the club. April was good for him; going 11.2 innings with 2 ER for an ERA of 1.54. But after going on the disabled list, he had an ERA of 11.72, giving up 23 ER over 17.2 innings. With Houston, White appeared in 23 games, going 1-0 with a 7.67 ERA in 291⁄3 innings. On August 5, 2007, the Seattle Mariners signed him and assigned White to Triple-A Tacoma. On August 23, 2007, White was promoted to the majors, but was placed on waivers and subsequently released by the Mariners on September 6.
White throws four pitches: a fastball, a slider, a curveball, and a forkball.
During pre-game warmups on May 12, 1999, he and pitcher Jim Mecir were involved in a serious collision in the outfield while chasing a fly ball in batting practice. White was unhurt, but Mecir broke his elbow and missed the rest of the season.

# Pioneer High School for the Performing Arts

Pioneer High School for the Performing Arts was a four-year charter high school within the Alpine School District in American Fork, Utah. It was founded in 2012 and closed in 2018.

## History

Pioneer High School for the Performing Arts was founded by a group of performing artists living in the region: Caleb Chapman, a saxophonist and youth band director, who became music director; Mindy Smoot Robbins, owner of a Broadway theatre academy; Kymberly Mellon, an actress and director; Sam Payne, another musician; and Derryl Yeager, director of Odyssey Dance Theatre, who became vice chairman of the governing board. Their objectives in founding the school were to reduce the stress of artistic students trying to combine their arts training with a conventional school day and to train performing artists more thoroughly. It opened in 2012 with operations in both American Fork and Lehi and a target enrollment of 1,000. The school started out contracting with Lincoln Interactive, a Pennsylvania company, to provide academic courses entirely online, with mornings reserved for the arts training.
The Utah State Charter School Board placed the school in warning status in 2013 and on turnaround in 2015. In 2016 the state gave it an F grade, but in June 2017 the Charter School Board reduced the school's warning and probation status. By November 2017 the state assigned the school a C grade.
Enrollment was at one point over 450 but fell to 120 after the school terminated the contract for online classes, at that time with Harmony Educational Services; it rose to approximately 140 in the 2016–17 academic year, 70 more students were successfully recruited for 2017–18, and for 2018–19 numbers had been raised from 108 to approximately 120. Retention between 2015–16 and 2016–17 was 42.4%, the lowest of the more than 25 charter schools in the county; it subsequently rose to a high percentage. To boost enrollment, the school had advertised online and on billboards and students had marched in parades. The academic programs were housed until 2017 in a building at 704 S. 600 East St. shared with Aristotle Academy, another charter school that also opened in 2012 but closed in 2017; plans for a new building were not realized.
Gil Jarvie became executive director (principal) in January 2017; he was succeeded in May 2018 by Dallyn Bayles, an actor and singer.
On August 1, 2018, after it was discovered that in order to be financially viable Pioneer High would need 169 students, not the 150 previously estimated, plus additional funds, the governing board decided not to reopen the school for the fall term later that month as planned.

## Demographics

In the 2015–16 school year, Pioneer High had a minority enrollment of 13% (predominantly Hispanic), with a diversity score of 0.24. 2% were eligible for a free lunch. The graduation rate was 80-89%.
