Op-Ed Contributor - A Fish Oil Story - NYTimes.com:

"For the last decade, one company, Omega Protein of Houston, has been catching 90 percent of the nation’s menhaden. The perniciousness of menhaden removals has been widely enough recognized that 13 of the 15 Atlantic states have banned Omega Protein’s boats from their waters. But the company’s toehold in North Carolina and Virginia (where it has its largest processing plant), and its continued right to fish in federal waters, means a half-billion menhaden are still taken from the ecosystem every year."

CYCLING: Rochester: an emerging world-class cycling spot

One way to make the region more bicycle-friendly is for municipalities to make sure they connect existing trails and trail segments. Over the past decade or so there has been progress, DeSarra says.The Erie Canal trail and the Genesee Valley Greenway are examples; they even connect to each other. But there's still work to be done on those trails, such as making more connections or offering better markings.

The Greenway, combined with the Genesee Riverway, provides a straight shot from RIT to downtown, says Jon Schull, an RIT professor who's involved in bicycling-related projects at the school. The Greenway and Riverway are actually the most direct way to get from RIT to downtown. And the University or Rochester is along the way.

Students could live downtown "without having to worry about cars and parking and all of that," Schull says. "So I see that as a real transportation innovation that could make a difference."

The Greenway and the Erie Canal trail are not complete or connected in certain parts, mostly in lesser-populated areas. If they were, those paths could be useful to commuters, Dollard says. They could act as a bicycle highway from outlying areas into the city.

On a broader scale, there's the potential to connect trails from Lake Ontario and the City of Rochester to Williamsport, Pennsylvania, via 230 miles of trails, including the Genesee Riverway Trail and the Genesee Valley Greenway. The only hurdle is a few short gaps and one 20-mile gap that need to be connected, Schull says.

And that doesn't even touch on the cycling opportunities that are available in the Finger Lakes region, east of the Greenway. Bike-based scenic tours and wine country tours are already popular.

Ever confused, cyclist Jon Schull leads the way

High Falls is a stunning natural landmark and attraction in downtown Rochester, but to people bicycling through the city on the Genesee Riverway Trail, there's no clear, marked way to get there. Cyclist Jon Schull says that he takes a different route each time because he doesn't know the best way to go.

"We are already one of the best bicycling destinations in the world, but no one is telling that story," says Schull, a member of the newly formed Rochester Cycling Alliance, an advocacy group. "And if you were going to tell that story, you'd want to take care of a few embarrassments, like what's the right way to ride to High Falls? And how do I get from High Falls back on the trail that will take me up to Seneca Park and Lake Ontario?"

Schull is one of several people trying to hammer home just how close the Rochester region is to becoming a world-class cycling destination.

Extreme Programming Roadmap

Extreme Programming Roadmap

Specific ExtremeProgramming practices:

• DoTheSimplestThingThatCouldPossiblyWork encourages us not to over (or under)-engineer;
• AskTheCode because it knows; CodeSmells if it has a problem; ListenToTheCode;
• UnitTests ensure that we don't break one another's code;
• AcceptanceTests tell us how we're progressing against user needs;
• An OnsiteCustomer to make sure we build business value;
• ContinuousIntegration helps avoid IntegrationHell;
• ContinuousIntegrationRelentlessTesting ditto;
• RefactorMercilessly keeps the code clean and speeds progress;
• and see also WikiPagesAboutRefactoring;
• PairProgramming gives higher quality, great cross-training, and higher speed; (mailing list: PairProgramming);
• SpikeSolution helps explore the area we're working on;
• ModelFirst plus SpartanUserInterface helps us concentrate on real customer value
• ExtremePlanning suggests quickly building a map of the whole imagined system and incrementally refining it
• The PlanningGame formalizes the rituals and roles of planning
• CountDownToRelease discusses how to use the ExtremePlanning practices when you're getting close to release
• ExtremeReuse - adopting third party software and making it XP-compatible by building tests
• TossIt - making projects trim and keeping projects trim
• SystemMetaphor - how we communicate the system to ourselves and others
• XpDesign - who does the design in an XP project, and when?
• XpSimplicityRules
• OnceAndOnlyOnce
• ExtremeDocuments - we do documentation, sometimes differently
• SupportCrisis - what to do until the doctor comes
• IncrementalDelivery
• LazyOptimization and EarlyProfiling
• OpenWorkspace
• UserStory - like use cases, but different
• EngineeringTask - a UserStory gets broken down into these

Results in...

• IterativeDevelopment - tends to be a natural result of ContinuousIntegration and ContinuousIntegrationRelentlessTesting andDoTheSimplestThingThatCouldPossiblyWork at each iteration
• DynamicDesign - from RefactorMercilessly and short Code-Compile-Debug cycle
• FewerWorkHours [important]
