How can 150 acres of urban public green space benefit a community beyond recreational access? How can a golf course address stormwater runoff and pollution issues, improve water quality, revitalize habitats, and improve biodiversity?  How can it create partnerships and programs with other nonprofits to improve access and inclusion for underrepresented populations (while keeping the game affordable for all)? Andrew Szunyog has dedicated his career to improving the relationship between the game of golf and its surrounding communities. Municipal golf courses are becoming community centers to facilitate a healthy environment and places for people to go.  As the Director of Sustainability at National Links Trust, he's laid out the most comprehensive framework for sustainability at a golf course that I've ever heard. His report outlines four buckets addressing emissions and runoffs, resource efficiency, waste management, and community and environmental stewardship. Topics covered: Andrew's career journey to the Director of Sustainability at National Links Trust [1:39] After graduating from the University of Florida in 2003 with a degree in Business and Sports Management, Andrew got a minimum-wage job at a local course working in outside operations. He quickly learned he wanted to spend his life in golf. Six months later, his dad passed away unexpectedly. His inheritance allowed him to complete a 16-month program at Professional Golfers Career College. He fell in love with running tournaments.  He got an internship with the Arnold Palmer Invitational in 2006 and 2007 where he learned volunteer management, spectator management, ticket sales, and more.  He completed a research project on “What does Sustainability in Golf Mean?” and what organizations are doing to be responsible for their impact on the environment. He realized there was an intersection between social and environmental justice and wanted to understand how golf fits in that. He wants the tournaments he runs to have some higher purpose that provides value.  Together with Alex Baxter and Andre Paul, they created a golf sustainability mastermind group which transformed into a newsletter and blog. They created a platform for the golf industry to tell its sustainability journey.  When he learned that The National Links Trust formed, he made himself available for volunteer opportunities.  In 2021, he was working with Blue Strike Environmental when National Links Trust reached out to him to lead a sustainability panel for their first annual symposium on municipal golf. Afterward, NLT asked him to become their in-house sustainability professional.  The origin, purpose, and mission of the National Links Trust [00:26:19]  The National Links Trust is a 501C3 non-profit organization that has a 50-year lease with the National Park Service to manage the three public golf courses in D.C.  The goal over the 50-year lease is to renovate all three courses to give them a fresh look, built with sustainability in mind, presenting the historical significance of what the courses mean to the city.  They will break ground on Rock Creek Park on November 1st, 2024. They've set a two-year timeline for the renovations of each course.  Developing a sustainability report for the National Links Trust [00:30:17]  Andrew is writing a sustainability report and created frameworks to address the impact of their operations, how they will address root causes, and rebuild with sustainability in mind. Bucket one accounts for emissions and runoffs. It's looking at water quality monitoring to reduce waste pollution, looking at reducing emissions, and addressing nutrient and pesticide management. Bucket two looks at resource efficiency, covering energy audits, electrifying the infrastructure, lighting audits, upgraded HVAC systems, window tinting, automatic on/off switches, and water efficiency. This also includes retrofitting and upgrading their historical structures.  Bucket three is waste management procurement. Their goal is to eliminate single-use practices, ban plastic tees, and work with vendors to make sure products are sent in compostable plastic packaging. They'll create partnerships to become zero waste.  The fourth bucket is geared toward community and environmental stewardship, improving access to the game, and developing partnerships that promote sustainability, climate resilience, and social and environmental justice. They'll create volunteer programs, community programming, internships, and much more.  What's motivating the reinvention of municipal golf courses [00:44:40]  Their mission is to show the value that municipal courses have as community assets. These places are entry points for well over half of people who play golf.  If a golf course is viewed as a park, money won't be set aside for upkeep. But if it's viewed as an asset, it becomes a sustainable business that can make money.  What drives Andrew to make a difference in golf sustainability [00:50:18]  Andrew strives to ensure that the game of golf continues for future generations, remaining affordable, accessible, and sustainable.  He hopes that future golf professionals can work in an industry that's sustainable, responsible, and accountable for its actions and operations.  Andrew's ultimate vision is that when people think of golf, they think of municipal golf. It's the place that drives community change within the sports world.  Resources & People Mentioned The Greatest Game Ever Played Professional Golfers Career College Connect with Andrew Szunyog National Links Trust Driving the Green Connect on LinkedIn Connect With Golf Sustainability LinkedIn  Facebook  Instagram X (Twitter) Subscribe to Golf Sustainability Apple Podcast  Spotify  Note: Timestamps provided are approximate.

You probably came to hear Nick's experience exploring Rock Creek Park in Washington DC based on his childhood experiences in nature with his father. Since we recorded shortly after my visit to DC, where I missed Nick but visited his friends and colleagues, and podcast guests, Jack Spencer and Travis Fisher, we talked about them. I mentioned visiting Heritage and Cato. Then we spoke about differences between conservatism and classical liberalism, as well as their different approaches to energy and the environment.Then we spoke about his experiences recreating the awe and wonder he recalled from his childhood. I predict you'll find the experience heartwarming.We inadvertently ended on a cliffhanger: if his experience improved his life while leading to consuming less and requiring less extraction, what if everyone improved their life while lowering overall economic activity? I think you'll enjoy our build up to that view. You'll have to wait like us for the next conversation. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What was the importance of 2024, and what to look for in this new year? We hear from historian Gerald Horne.

In May of 2002, the remains of 24-year-old intern Chandra Levy were discovered in D.C.'s Rock Creek Park. The news rocked the D.C. area, as well as Chandra's hometown of Modesto, California. The case sparked a frenzy of rumors and allegations, exposing a scandalous side of politics. However, despite an arrest and conviction, the murder of Chandra Levy remains unsolved. FOX News San Francisco-based Senior Correspondent Claudia Cowan covered the case at the time and looks back at the infamous case. Later, former NYPD Inspector Paul Mauro provides his expert analysis of the investigation into Chandra's disappearance.

CardioNerds (Amit Goyal) join Dr. Merna Hussien, Dr. Akhil Kallur, Dr. Abhinav Saxena, and Dr. Brody Deb from the MedStar Georgetown - Washington Hospital Center in DC for a stroll around Rock Creek Park as they discuss an unusual case of cobalt cardiomyopathy. Expert commentary is provided by Dr. Nana Afari Armah. Episode audio was edited by CardioNerds Intern Christiana Dangas. The case is of a middle-aged woman with a past medical history of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and bilateral hip replacements, who presented with subacute progressive exertional dyspnea, orthopnea, and constitutional symptoms and was found to have SCAI Stage C cardiogenic shock. Transthoracic echocardiogram showed severely reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF, 20-25%) and a moderate pericardial effusion. Cardiac catheterization revealed biventricular failure with elevated filling pressures. A cardiac MRI showed diffuse late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) in the left ventricle. Endomyocardial biopsy showed nonspecific chronic inflammation. However, the evidence of mitochondrial heavy metal toxicity and elevated cobalt levels made the diagnosis of cobalt cardiomyopathy. The patient underwent revision of hip joint implants to ceramic implants and started chelation therapy. However, due to persistent stage D heart failure despite normalization of cobalt levels, she underwent orthotropic heart transplantation.

Case MEdia - Cobalt Cardiomyopathy Pearls - Cobalt Cardiomyopathy A good history goes a long way in diagnosing non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM). Common problems can have uncommon presentations requiring a high degree of suspicion for diagnosis. Imaging features can overlap between causes of NICM. History helps in targeting further histological workup and uncovering the root cause. Multidisciplinary effort is essential in making a rare diagnosis. Taken from1 - Singh M, Krishnan M, Ghazzal A, Halushka M, Tozzi JE, Bunning RD, Rodrigo ME, Najjar SS, Molina EJ, Sheikh FH. From Hip to Heart: A Comprehensive Evaluation of an Infiltrative Cardiomyopathy. CJC Open. 2021 Nov 1;3(11):1392–5. Notes - Cobalt Cardiomyopathy How common is cobalt cardiomyopathy? When should it be suspected? Cobalt cardiomyopathy is incredibly rare, with only a handful of reported cases. 2 It is also known as beer drinkers' cardiomyopathy, as cobalt was added to beer for fortification in Quebec 3, where it was first reported. Cobalt cardiomyopathy is characterized by its rapidly progressive nature, the presence of low voltages on EKG, and diffuse infiltration. Patients also complained of a previous history of anorexia and weight loss and were found to have polycythemia and thyroid abnormalities on labs. This syndrome was very similar to wet beriberi except for the absence of a therapeutic response to thiamine. Taken from - 2 Later, this was noted in patients with total metal hip arthroplasty 4–6, especially in patients with metal-on-metal hip arthroplasty, which led to corrosion and leakage of cobalt into the bloodstream. The syndrome in these patients was similar to those in beer drinkers from Quebec. This figure, taken from 2, shows the reports of Cobalt cardiomyopathy after cobalt alloy prostheses. [HX1]  What is the pathophysiology of cobalt cardiomyopathy? Cobalt has a variety of effects on the heart, both microscopically and biochemically.Cobalt may have multiple calcium-mediated cardiac effects and may also interfere with the Krebs cycle and ATP generation by mitochondria. Histology may show modest changes with no inflammatory response o...

Law and Crime Author series, author Kevin Flynn Rock Creek a novel. #RockCreek #KevinFlynn#murdermystery Part murder mystery, part political thriller, Rock Creek is an epic work of historical fiction set in Washington, D.C. It's the most important city in the world in 1952, but at its heart it's still a small Southern town deeply divided along race and class boundaries. With big themes, bigger characters, and enduring spirit, Rock Creek expertly weaves an evocative tale in small, ineffable moments, telling the story of what happens to those who try to cross D.C.'s dividing lines. Emily Rose is a beautiful Capitol Hill staffer with a tragic past, rooted in the Holocaust, that she can never quite seem to escape. She's dumped and abandoned in Rock Creek Park, a lush urban wilderness with its own haunted history. Shane Kinnock is a homicide detective at the lowest point of his life and career, still shell-shocked from the war and scarred by loss. He sees the prospect of redemption in the mystery of Emily's death, but he'll find that her story draws him close to insanity. Race and intolerance, injustice and protest, publishing and politics, sex and ambition, gambling and government: Rock Creek brings to life a time and place that are so distant, yet still seem so close. In advance of its 2024 publication, Rock Creek has been praised by James Grady, author of Six Days of the Condor, David Swinson, author of The Second Girl, and Andy Kroll, author of A Death on W Street: The Murder of Seth Rich and the Age of Conspiracy.

DMV rapper and record producer Oddisee realized early on that purpose and success are self-designated. Born Amir Elkhalifa in Washington D.C. to a Sudanese father and African American mother, and raised in Prince George's County, Maryland, he bore witness to stark inequity early in life and became as political as the city he was raised in. Elkhalifa tackles the human condition with unwavering conviction and candor, merging elements of jazz, funk, and go-go into his hip-hop rooted production. Instead of pursuing record deals and executives, Elkhalifa has taken the less-traveled path. Streamlining elements of the industry early on, from single-handedly recording, producing, and mixing his music to steering his marketing strategy and tour runs. A string of contemporary releases—Rock Creek Park (2011), The Beauty in All (2013), The Good Fight (2015), Alwasta (2016), and The Iceberg (2017)—headlining performances and tours with his 5-piece band, Good Compny, and streams in the multi-millions have propelled him to international recognition and acclaim.This week's episode is brought to you by Manscaped!

"I just think [running] is a really cool thing that those of us in DC have the opportunity to do."Hello! Happy New Year! Welcome back to Micromobility DC. I am attending the Transportation Research Board Annual Meeting (#TRBAM as the cool kids call it, I am told) and was called out yesterday for my lack of recent episodes! So here it is - the first episode of 2024! (And in my humble opinion, it is a great listen.)I had the opportunity to speak with Sarah Johanek on all things running and DC in December. We cover her big breakthroughs at the DC Half and Chicago Marathon (she ran 1:20 and 2:52 respectively). We speak about her experience moving to DC during the pandemic upon returning from Peace Corps, and later running her first marathon on the C&O trail. We speak about how she's found community around movement through Northeast Track Club. We cover how she gets around, best spots to run (first person in a while who didn't choose Rock Creek Park!), and how she has fun with running and getting strong (she shouts out Doc Sarah on the last point).Sarah is incredibly friendly, humble (she tries to tell me she doesn't know anything about running at one point), and fun loving. You can tell she chases joy and camaraderie in all she does. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did!I am excited to be covering runners, bikers, walkers, and the people who help provide the infrastructure to make those things possible this year! Have a big goal of 24 episodes for 2024! Name it for accountability they told me!

A couple of weeks ago, Garrett spoke with architect Gil Hanse in front of an audience at the Pearl Street Warehouse in Washington, D.C. Their conversation was part of the National Links Trust Symposium on Municipal Golf, so they focused on Gil's résumé of municipal designs, from Rustic Canyon and Soule Park in the early 2000s, to the recently opened Park in West Palm Beach, to his ongoing projects at Maggie Hathaway in Los Angeles and Rock Creek Park in D.C. Garrett and Gil touch on a variety of larger topics, such as the importance of architectural minimalism to affordable golf course development and the recent changes in both the golf architecture industry and Gil's own workload. Many thanks to the National Links Trust for asking Garrett to be involved in this year's symposium, and for letting us share this conversation with our listeners.

For over 20 years, Jimmy Garvin ran programs at Langston Golf Course that included creating a learning center in the clubhouse where he used the game of golf as a carrot to get kids to focus on their education as well as exposing new destinations to a traveling team of All-Stars that competed against their peers abroad. Jimmy Garvin served as President of Golf Course Specialists, the longtime lease-holder of the three DC courses. He and his Legacy Foundation had a profound impact on many kids in this region who were able to see the game of golf as a vehicle to something greater. His programs came to a halt in 2012 after a well-publicized case involving a DC Councilmember who misused funds intended for these programs. Jimmy was forced to restart and eventually became part of the ownership group at Marlton Golf Course in PG County and today manages Rock Creek Park Golf Course. jimmygarvingolf.org Sponsored by Union Green - Uniting people on & off the Green through public golf - uniongreen.com Listen or watch below! https://youtu.be/-o4n5yJuyR4

On the morning of July 21st 1961, six year old Hattie Jackson and her older brother Herbert, set off with a packed lunch for Rock Creek Park. It was just a six block walk from the siblings' home in north Washington D.C. After meeting up with Herbert's friends the group played on the playground and then went swimming in the creek. After a little while the children split up and Hattie was left alone. Hattie was last seen on a swing; a man wearing sunglasses was standing next to her.  Hattie has been missing since that day. Foul play is suspected and there is a person of interest  in her abduction. What's more Hattie's case is inextricably linked to another long forgotten unsolved murder from America's north east.Become a supporter of the show!Sources: For a full list of sources please see the Facebook page.Newspaper Archive Washington D.C Evening Star22/06/6123/07/6124/07/6125/07/6126/07/6105/08/6109/08/6121/08/6127/08/6131/08/6101/09/6115/09/6111/05/62Philadelphia Enquirer 04/05/62Philadelphia Daily News04/05/62Baltimore Sun23/09/5912/05/6203/05/62Pittsburgh Courier12/04/6219/05/6226/05/62The Tribune 12/05/62The Bedford Daily Times-Mail17/05/62The Birmingham News13/05/62WebsitesTheCharleyProjecthttps://charleyproject.org › case › h...Hattie Yvonne JacksonWhereabouts Still Unknownhttps://whereaboutsstillunknown.wordpress.com › ...Hattie Jackson | Whereabouts Still Unknown - WordPress.comhttps://www.inquirer.com/crime/philadelphia-boy-box-girl-box-forgotten-20221209.html?outputType=amphttps://unidentified-awareness.fandom.com/wiki/Northampton_County_Jane_Doe_(1983)WordPress.comhttps://morbidworldblog.wordpress.com › ...Philadelphia's Other Unknown Child - Morbid Worldhttps://6abc.com/amp/philadelphia-potters-grave-dna-technology-cracking-cold-cases/3910216/All That's Interestingallthatsinteresting.comThe Boy In The Box: The Mysterious Case That Took Over 60 Years To ..https://doenetwork.org/cases/717ufnc.htmlhttps://doenetwork.org/cases/1638ufpa.htmlPromoFollow Persons Unknown: Instagram and FacebookEmail: personsunknownpod@gmail.comWebsite with Transcripts:https://personsunknown.buzzsprout.com/

On this episode of the National Links Trust Podcast, NLT co-founder, Mike McCartin, discusses an update on the rehabilitation of Rock Creek Park Golf project.  Mike specifically walks the listeners through a published plan for the property, available for viewing at the link below. View the plan here: NationalLinksTrust.org/future-of-rock-creek-golfMore about the plan: The Rock Creek Park golf course rehabilitation is the first leg of National Links Trust's “Nation's Capital Project” alongside the National Park Service (NPS). This project will occur in two phases. The first phase will include the construction of a new clubhouse, driving range, maintenance facility, pavilion, Himalayas-style putting course, and short game facility. The second phase will involve the renovation of the golf course - creating a nine-hole regulation length golf course and a nine-hole par three course - and construction of ecological trails through the property.The clubhouse and driving range built in the first phase will offer a food and beverage operation, a community room, indoor golf training areas, a pro shop, and support areas. In addition, the clubhouse will house classrooms, program spaces, and the administrative headquarters of First Tee -- Greater Washington, DC. The golf course will remain open while the clubhouse is being constructed. The golf course work in the second phase of the project will be overseen by golf course architects Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner, renowned for both their new construction and their extensive renovation work including at three William Flynn-designed courses in the United States. The proposed nine-hole regulation, par 35 course measures approximately 3,300 yards and uses corridors from both Flynn's original more open front nine and more wooded back nine. The nine-hole par-3 course starts and finishes just west of the current 9th green. This mix of playing options takes advantage of the site's natural setting, minimizes tree clearing, allows for healthy turf conditions, and improves playability.Throughout the week of January 9, NLT will be releasing more details of the plan on social media as well as the webpage provided above.

The historic venue in Rock Creek Park was once considered one of the region's greatest open-air theaters. What will it take to restore it to its former glory?

Narrated by the author, Surrender is an intimate, immersive listening experience, telling stories from Bono's early days in Dublin, to joining a band and playing sold out stadiums around the world with U2, plus his more than 20 years of activism. Throughout a remarkable life, music has always been a constant for Bono and in the audiobook, his distinctive voice is interwoven with a very personal soundtrack adding atmosphere and texture to each and every scene. From moments of classic U2 hits to snippets by The Clash, Patti Smith, Verdi, Johnny Cash and Mozart, Surrender also exclusively features clips of newly recorded re imagined versions of U2 songs including ‘Sunday Bloody Sunday', ‘With Or Without You', ‘One', ‘Beautiful Day' and more, glimpsed for the first time on Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story.

Sixteenth Street NW in Washington, DC, has been called the Avenue of the Presidents, Executive Avenue, and the Avenue of Churches. From the front door of the White House, this north-south artery runs through the middle of the District and extends just past its border with Maryland. The street is as central to the cityscape as it is to DC's history and culture. In Sixteenth Street NW: Washington, DC's Avenue of Ambitions (Georgetown UP, 2022), John DeFerrari and Douglas Peter Sefton depict the social and architectural history of the street and immediate neighborhoods, inviting readers to explore how the push and pull between ordinary Washingtonians and powerful elites has shaped the corridor ― and the city. This highly illustrated book features notable buildings along Sixteenth Street and recounts colorful stories of those who lived, worked, and worshipped there. Maps offer readers an opportunity to create self-guided tours of the places and people that have defined this main thoroughfare over time. What readers will find is that both then and now, Sixteenth Street NW has been shaped by a diverse array of people and communities. The street, and the book, feature a range of sites ― from Black Lives Matter Plaza to the White House, from mansions and rowhomes to apartment buildings, from Meridian Hill (Malcolm X) Park with its drum circles to Rock Creek Park with its tennis tournaments, and from hotels to houses of worship. Sixteenth Street, NW reveals a cross section of Washington, DC, that shows the vibrant makeup of our nation's capital.

NOTE: This episode was recorded in early April. In this episode we focus on “Is There a Technical Solution?,” “Autumn in New York,” and “Optimodal.” But first we spend some time (as usual) lamenting the state of the world, especially the plight of the unhoused from Maine to Chicago. We decide private property should be abolished, which is also one of the best takeaways from Eric Holthaus's The Future Earth. We also curse Barack Obama for what the Obama Center is doing to the South Side of Chicago. A bad guy, actually! This leads us into thinking about public space and the commons, which takes us back into Green Earth and Frank's experience living in a tree in Rock Creek Park. Here, outdoor spaces have become something more than what they were before the flood and the freeze. In the park, with Frank, the bros, and the frisbee golfers, we can find the novel's speculative kernel, taking us outside the question of whether science can become political and whether politics can be reconciled to science. We talk about home and habits, how the everyday lives of the characters are so partitioned and look for the things that hold Frank's life together, one of which is the economy, indebtedness, insurance–ironically the very thing that, in the novel's A-plot, may force the world to change course. The uninsurability of property in the face of catastrophic climate change may force capital into a different direction. In this way, Green Earth provides an actuarial imagination that gives a different relationship to the future, in ways that KSR will continue to develop in New York 2140 and The Ministry for the Future. Meanwhile, Phil Chase is doing his Wizard of Oz routine, and Matt and Hilary reflect on what it looks like when our politics is centered on charismatic leaders. Being beholden to a pseudo-magical figure and the hierarchies and dependencies entailed by that arrangement don't lend themselves to having a better democracy. Even Frank's relationship with the bros seems to be one of liberal benevolence, which they do not fail to call him on. We critique Chase's speech calling on America to fulfill its “historical destiny” and put pressure on the possibility of threading the needle between the U.S. being a world leader without being hegemonic, “inventing permaculture” without engaging in imperialism. Can we reconcile the idea of the nation-state with the idea of a global civilization? What does “culture” mean in a borderless world? The whole notion of “permaculture” is a weird one–isn't culture constantly changing? The section ends with some hints toward the need for a new global religion, with Frank dipping his toe in Emerson (and then getting beat up). Hilary pulls a switcheroo, picks a bone with Donna Haraway, demands action, and Matt plugs Tokyo Vice. It's all happening.

Hi listeners! This week our episode is extra cool, special, and long. We are doing Mount Rainier National Park which is a mountain and a national park in Seattle. We will also be covering Rock Creek Park which is a park founded in 1890 and is run by the National Park Service but not a national park. It's in Washington DC. Why is this episode extra awesome? Well we have two guests. One of our guests climbed Mount Rainier (A trek many die on). And our other guest has been going to Rock Creek Park every day for ten whole years! (We will explain Rock Creek Park and why it has to do with being the fourth park later.) We have another challenge this episode; make sure to enter your response at traveltheparkspodcast@gmail.com Enjoy!

Earlier this month National Links Trust took over operation as the long-term lessor of the three golf courses on National Park Service land in Washington D.C., East Potomac Park, Langston & Rock Creek Park.  This project, which has justifiably garnered a tremendous amount of excitement not just locally but nationally, has years of work ahead […]

Adorable as their families might be, the expanding deer population in wooded areas have become more than a nuisance. That's why several jurisdictions have launched programs to thin out local deer populations. For the Washington, D.C., area's Rock Creek Park, that job falls to the National Park Service. Information sharing specialist Megan Nortrup joined Federal Drive with Tom Temin in studio to talk about their methods and tactics.

We were joined in the studio for The Valley Business Today by Niki Cales from Front Royal - Warren County Chamber of Commerce & her guest, Darryl Haley, former NFL football player, cookie baker, B&B owner and community steward.

Another project that Darryl is involved in is Music at the Monument (#MusicMon) - a musical jam session at the Sylvan Theatre on the National Monument Grounds. These events offer an opportunity to address goals and facilitate change through instrumental, vocal and songwriting. The featured performers are veterans, local and federal government employees, and youth; and represent various programs that use music as a form of relaxation, communication, youth development and the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder. The Sylvan Theatre concerts take place twice a month, beginning in May. The Carter Barron Amphitheater concerts will be held every week, beginning July 30th. The concerts highlight veterans, youth musicians and other artist. Performances include Jazz, R&B, Country, Pop, U.S. military veterans and military Orchestra. The Carter Barron Amphitheater concerts will be held every week, beginning July 30th. ROCK THE CITY benefit concerts support the Carter Barron Amphitheatre and Rock Creek Park trails and help celebrate the National Park Service's 100th birthday.
