Syracuse Legends Reunite on the Court for CBT Celebrity Basketball Classic
Saturday, August 28, 2021, By Keith Kobland
athleticsComing Back TogetherOur Time Has Come
Tickets are now on sale for the second Coming Back Together (CBT) Celebrity Basketball Classic. The game, which features memorable names from Orange athletics, takes place Thursday, Sept. 9. Tickets can be purchased online at Cuse.com/ticketing or by calling 888 DOME TIX.
Members of the media were on hand for the announcement of this year's CBT Celebrity Classic.
"This year's game promises to be extremely exciting, as it will take place in our newly renovated stadium," says Rachel Vassel, associate vice president of Multicultural Advancement. "All money raised will go specifically to the Orange Legends Scholarship, which is an Our Time Has Come (OTHC) fund created by Syracuse University athletes who want to make an impact for students from underserved communities."
The game serves as a kickoff for the 13th CBT, the triennial on-campus celebration in honor of our Black and Latino/a alumni. Recently, some of the athletes returning to campus got together to talk about the game, its impact and their love for getting back together. It's obvious they enjoy one another's company and their memories of playing in front of the fans.
"For me personally as a kid who grew up in Pioneer Homes just a short distance from the stadium, there are certain things that make you smile," says Rob Drummond, a former NFL running back who attended the University in the mid 1980s and will be taking part in the CBT Celebrity Classic. "My last game at the stadium the fans gave me a standing ovation. I had tears in my eyes. I won't forget that moment nor the love I have for my teammates and the people here today. That's what this is all about. It's about family."
An Orange family. A family that knows it is stronger together.
"I think the cause, to bring underrepresented students to Syracuse University, that's the joy all of us get out of this," says former NBA and Syracuse University basketball player Derrick Coleman, who will serve as one of the team captains. Billy Owens, who also played in the NBA and for the University, will serve as the other. This time around there is a bit of a revenge factor, as Coleman's squad defeated Owens's team at the first Celebrity Classic in 2017. "It was great for everybody to come together," says Owens. "I'm looking forward to this year and bringing the trophy home for Team Owens."
Ultimately, though, the players are doing this for students like Taylor M. John, a senior who is studying global health policy, citizenship and civic engagement, with a minor in Chinese language. John is an Our Time Has Come scholar, one of nearly 1,500 hundred OTHC scholarship recipients awarded since the program was founded at the University in 1987. The scholarships help provide opportunities for underrepresented students. "For me, it's all about community and mentorship," says John. "It's about bringing students and alumni together to network and share what it means to bleed orange."

Marshall was undergoing a medical at QPR on Tuesday morning ahead of the transfer, which will help the Rams cut costs following their recent move into administration.

Handyman Quarry Bank, West Midlands: I imagine there may be various reasons why you end up looking for a local Quarry Bank handyman, perhaps you have a critical emergency that requires handling speedily, maybe you've got some routine maintenance that you have been meaning to get done or maybe you are doing some much needed home improvements. For whichever explanation you arrived here, you'll definitely be on the lookout for a local Quarry Bank odd job man you can trust and feel confident in. Now this isn't as easy a task as you might believe because there are always rogue traders around who may perhaps do a poor job or charge more than the going rate, so just what can you do?
Well luckily for us there are some companies we can look at online that perform a lot of the work for you when it comes to highlighting the kind of craftsmen that you are requiring. Among the best of these trade review services is called Rated People, and they do a good job of providing testimonials, reviews and recommendations for odd job men that are registered with them, and so you'll be able to quickly discover if former clients were content with the work they had done. This is valuable information when on the lookout for a handyman in Quarry Bank and might aid in making an informed assessment about who you finally choose to hire. So why not post details of your forthcoming handyman project and you will soon receive a few job quotes from local Quarry Bank odd job men prepared to do the project as required, then you're able to reviews and make a final choice.
Quarry Bank Handyman - Tips for Locating One: You might be asking, why should I need to be calling on the services of a local Quarry Bank handyman? Well, I will explain why. There will always be those maintenance jobs that need attention around your home, you know the ones that we just do not have enough time to do, we're too lazy to do, we haven't got the correct tools for or that we're not that happy about carrying out correctly. We always find excuses to put off doing this kind of job for weeks, months or perhaps years. A handyman may be just the person to help us out.
A knowledgeable Quarry Bank odd job man or handyman can assist you around your house from installing curtain poles and wall painting, to assembling flat-pack furniture and driveway cleaning and, in many cases, anything else in between. If truth be told there is no job which is too small for a handyman. If you need a shelf put on the wall, call your local handyman, if the guttering needs mending or cleaning, get right on the telephone to your handyman. This is not to imply that a handyman or odd job man is able to only work on jobs which are small. A competent and reliable handyman should be able to carry out larger and much more difficult projects using skills that are beyond that of a typical DIY person, and not just within the home situation. A handyman will be experienced round the garden, erecting a shed or fence for instance, or mending a leaking roof, maybe even constructing or renovating wooden decking which leads off your home.
The projects your Quarry Bank handyman can do may not be confined to your home, some handymen can also help with other sorts of work for example car repairs and you could perhaps ask if he can fit new brake pads, replace a flat tyre, swap a faulty light bulb or change the oil in your car.
The most irritating occurrence to most Quarry Bank handyman services is to do a quote for a job only to have the customer request "extra" services as soon as the job begins. This is showing little respect for the handyman because he has already quoted for the work and allotted his time, these add-ons like putting up mirrors, replacing a curtain rail, hanging a picture or mounting a flat screen TV onto the wall could use up significant amounts of added time and extend the project appreciably. Therefore endeavor to write down a list of all the jobs you need before getting in any handyman service.
Before you select any particular handyman in Quarry Bank you should have a lengthy chat with him, to determine just what jobs you need doing. Keeping in mind that you would not want him repairing a gas boiler or appliance if he is not Gas Safe registered, and you would not want him to fiddle with your electrical fuseboard if he has no electrical qualifications. As soon as the tasks you need doing are established he can maybe suggest a dependable tradesman to do the jobs that he cannot do and work out a precise quotation for the jobs he can.
It should be quite simple to uncover a local Quarry Bank handyman who can manage all but the most trade specific of projects and doubtless for considerably less than you'd expect to fork out if you were to employ a specialist tradesman. By way of example, if you need a sink unblocking, a few bathroom tiles replacing, a leaking tap repaired or a new toilet stopcock fitted, you could obviously get in your local Quarry Bank plumber, however you'll pay plumber prices. Instead, get in a capable handyman and he should easily complete these simple tasks at a much cheaper rate.
Don't forget that there may be days when you need something doing pretty quickly, for that reason it's always sensible to have a reliable handyman on tap, and who you easily ring whenever you are needing a job tackling in your garden or on your property. Specialized tradesmen are usually fully booked for months in advance and will not normally be ready to come to your home as soon as you'd like to carry out these lesser jobs that can still need doing. A handyman in Quarry Bank may very well be a lot more flexible and may be in a position to visit you at short notice if you really need them to. He will also be happier do those littler jobs which specialist tradesmen are often not interested in.
Estimates and Payment: Typically your Quarry Bank handyman or odd job man will price a job by the hour, or he will provide a price tag for the job in its entirety, be certain that this includes materials, so you don't get an unpleasant shock later. When they offer you a costing for the whole job, get it in writing and make sure they sign it, so you'll know precisely what you're shelling out. As soon as you have an acceptable quote in your hand you may want to chat to them about methods of payment, many prefer cash, some like bank transfers, some want a cheque and rarely will they take debit cards. When you have all of the essential information and facts, you can give them permission to obtain materials and commence the job.
Are They Insured?: You need to unquestionably think twice before giving work to any Quarry Bank handyman who does not show that they have suitable insurance coverage that will protect their clients. You cannot be certain that every handyman in Quarry Bank will be covered by insurance, so you should confirm that the particular one you've picked out has some sort of public liability insurance that will cover themselves and you if an accident or error occurs. While tackling the job they can cause damage to your property or injury to yourself or your loved ones, that may prove to be pricey if it isn't covered by insurance.
Cowboys And How to Spot One: There are a few basic tips to follow that should enable you to stay clear of ripoffs, rogue traders and cowboys, of which there are obviously a few, in the handyman business. Do not even contemplate giving work to a "handyman" who gives you a quotation for the job, and wants the money upfront, all honest odd job men will expect to have to finish the work and get it okayed before demanding payment. Keep clear of any so called handyman who makes unsolicited phone calls, or any handyman arrives at your home without prior invitation. Avoid a Quarry Bank "handyman" who refuses to give you a quotation in black and white, this should make you very distrustful. Avoid a so called odd job man who prices up the job too cheaply and wants to begin too quickly, these types of crooks will probably do a botched job and then disappear just as quickly, or "Bodgit and Scarper" as they are known.
Handyman Quarry Bank: There are certainly a wide number of undertakings which you might need a local Quarry Bank handyman for, and down below I have outlined merely a small selection of the most typical reasons you might be having to call on the services of a handyman in Quarry Bank, West Midlands.
Using a trade review company like Rated People will help you to pick a handyman in Quarry Bank, West Midlands and also get Rowley Regis handyman services, Coombeswood handyman services, Lye handyman services, Primrose Hill handyman services, Blackheath handyman services, Belle Vale handyman services, Netherton handyman services, Wollescote handyman services, Cradley Heath handyman services, Old Hill handyman services, Haden Cross handyman services and more handymen related services.
Handyman Quarry Bank West Midlands - Ideas for Choosing One: One of several somewhat outdated yet still common methods of getting a handyman in Quarry Bank is to utilize local directories, free local papers or web business directories, so you could take a look in some of the popular directories for example Cyclex, Mister What, 118 118, Touch Local, Yell, City Visitor, Thomson Local, Yelp or Local Life although of course just about anyone can easily get listed in these directories this means that there is very little guarantee regarding the dependability of any particular Quarry Bank handyman, so you will be taking a chance when you use this solution.
A good method to find a decent Quarry Bank handyman to employ is by browsing reviews by past customers, you should be able to get reviews and testimonials on the internet, probably on one of the popular trade websites for instance Rated People, My Hammer, My Builder, TrustaTrader, Checkatrade or maybe even on a Quarry Bank handyman's business site if he/she possesses one. Another great technique is to ask good friends, associates, family members or perhaps even nearby neighbours to endorse a Quarry Bank handyman who they have used in the past, people always claim that "by word of mouth" is the best kind of recommendation and in this instance it should certainly be helpful for you in making a wise choice and find somebody you can depend on and has previously done a first-rate job.
Searching on Google: In these modern times one of the more popular means to use to hunt for a handyman in Quarry Bank is by using the internet. Even this approach isn't always as easy as it ought to be, as it is necessary to decide exactly which returned results are in any way relevant to what you searched for. Being as precise as its possible to be is the right technique whenever researching on Google or Bing, usually the most obvious phrase people key in is "handyman Quarry Bank" or "Quarry Bank handyman", this may lead to confused search results and the majority of what's returned is going to be from 3 or 4 of the tradesmen recommendation sites such as Checkatrade and Rated People, or one of two of the respected online directories such as Yell and Thomson, though what will not be so noticeable to you is the fact that uppermost three or four results shown are pay per click advertisements, meaning somebody has paid to be in that spot and in all probability they'll not be appropriate for your requirements or even a local business, therefore you ought to scroll down the page and largely ignore such results. 1 or 2 of the returned results might also be pertaining to sites advertising handyman jobs in Quarry Bank, these results can naturally also be disregarded.
Occasionally results for the website of a real handyman in Quarry Bank will feature on the first page of the search results, you will be able to pick them out if you look closely, move on to the 2nd or 3rd page and you will be very likely to acquire a better percent of real Quarry Bank handymen. Being more precise is usually a better idea, for example, if you happen to be a lady living on your own you may choose to locate a lady handyman, therefore you could search for "lady handyman Quarry Bank", or you could try "handyman services Quarry Bank", "odd job man Quarry Bank" or "emergency handyman Quarry Bank". You must also bear in mind that not every handyman in Quarry Bank will have their own website, so another good technique is to look for several hidden treasures within the business listings located underneath the map on Google and Bing, every time you try this type of search.

MINNEAPOLIS/ST. PAUL – The Minnesota Lynx today announced the team's schedule for the upcoming 2017 season. The Lynx will kick off their 19th season in the WNBA at Xcel Energy Center vs. Chicago on Sunday, May 14 at 6:00 p.m. The 2017 campaign includes 34 regular-season games from May 14 through Sept. 3.

Last season the Lynx announced that Xcel Energy Center will be the team's venue for home games during the 2017 season. The team's relocation is due to the previously announced major renovation and complete shutdown of Target Center taking place during the summer and early fall of 2017.
The 2017 campaign includes three nationally broadcast games on ESPN2: May 18 at New York, July 6 vs. Los Angeles and Aug. 8 at Atlanta.
Minnesota's 17-game home schedule includes 11 weekend games (4 Friday, 1 Saturday, 6 Sunday), three on Tuesday, one on Wednesday and two on Thursday. The team's annual camp day is Wednesday, July 19 at 12 p.m. when the Lynx host Dallas. The Lynx have two three-game homestands (June 17-25; July 16-25) and two three-game road trips (June 3-11; Aug. 25-30).
The Lynx' home half of the schedule is highlighted by a rematch of last year's WNBA Finals when the Los Angeles Sparks visit the Xcel Energy Center on Thursday, July 6 and Friday, Aug. 11. Other notable home games include matchups against Diana Taurasi and the Phoenix Mercury on Sunday, July 16 and Tuesday, Aug. 22 and Breanna Stewart, Jewel Lloyd and the Seattle Storm on Sunday, July 30.
Minnesota's preseason schedule and 2017 local television broadcast schedule will be released at a later date. Following are key facts regarding the Lynx 2017 regular-season schedule.


The play was inspired by the novel "Amazon Beaming" by Petru Popescu. It loosely follows the story of a National Geographic photographer and his experience with a mystical Brazilian tribe in 1969. The play is directed and performed by British director Simon McBurney. As he tells the story, the audience also explores the nature of reality and the meaning of storytelling.
McBurney was fascinated by the way the brain processes and stores memories and the ways they affect people's lives. He found a way to tell a dramatic and theatrical story that causes audiences to question their imaginations. McBurney said the show is partially about solitude and having an intimate experience using technology. He created The Encounter for Complicite, a company that he co-founded.
The Encounter has been performed for sold-out crowds in London and at several arts festivals. It was first performed at the Edinburgh International Festival last summer and then moved to London's Barbican Theatre in early 2016. It has also been performed at festivals in several countries across Europe, including Britain, France, Greece, Austria, Switzerland, and the Netherlands.
The Encounter will make its Broadway debut with previews beginning September 20. It will officially open on September 29 and is scheduled to run through January 8 at the John Golden Theatre. McBurney hopes to perform in most of the shows, but Richard Katz will serve as a substitute for some performances.
The Encounter is a theatrical experience like no other. Order tickets to see the show that has captivated audiences across Europe. Reserve your seats from OnBroadway.com before the limited engagement run is over.

Carnival for kids shows slice of relationship between church, elementary school
Maria Sanchez-Traynor
Members of Christ Community Evangelical Free Church in Greeley take the principle "love thy neighbor" seriously.
The church at 1301 15th St. does whatever it can to help its neighbors across the street at Cameron Elementary School.
On Friday, the church opened its doors to celebrate the first week of school by hosting a carnival for Cameron students, their families and anyone else who happened to be in the neighborhood.
Cameron kids got in free and had the chance to play carnival games, win prizes, have their faces painted and ride on a small train. About 400 people attended the annual Family Fun Fest.
But the fair is just one piece of the relationship between the school and the church. People from both buildings say they try to help each other out whenever they can.
Church members held meetings in Cameron when their building was under construction.
When Cameron had recent construction, the church opened its doors to summer school and to give Cameron staff a place to meet.
On school days, Cameron teachers, who don't have a parking lot, park at the church. In return, crews for Greeley-Evans School District 6 plow the parking lot on snowy school days.
The biggest way the church reaches out to the school is through a tutoring program it calls Kids Hope.
Through this program, a church volunteer spends one hour a week giving one-on-one tutoring to a Cameron student.
About 55 church members paired with Cameron students last year. The volunteers aren't there to talk about the Bible or recruit for the church. They just tutor and give whatever support the child needs.
"We want to share the love of Jesus to our neighbors in a practical way," said the Rev. Daniel Steitz, "just by showing them love."
Deb Rouse has been tutoring the same girl at Cameron for two years. When Rouse started tutoring, the girl was shy to read but after two years, she has opened up and is excited.
"I get so much out of watching her grow up, develop and start to succeed," Rouse said.
Margaret Murphy loved the way her 7-year-old son, Ben, benefited from the program. His tutor helped Ben grow more confident in school but also helped him open up to other people.
She loved the influence on him so much she started bringing Ben to church at Christ Community.
"You don't have a lot of schools and churches work together, but it's how communities should work more often," she said.

Ryan David Semple is an English former footballer who is mostly known for his spells at Peterborough United & Boston United. He finished playing in summer 2014 to take up a full-time role within the Peterborough United Academy.

He returned to playing, signing for Deeping Rangers in February 2016.

Career
Semple began his career with Peterborough United where he played alongside Luke Steele and Sean St Ledger. During this time he spent two weeks training with Manchester United in summer 2002 and participating in an International under 17 tournament in Portugal and making his league debut aged 17 years and three months against Bristol City in October 2002. His progress at Peterborough was affected by a broken leg towards the end of the 2002–03 season and, in a bid to recover fitness, he joined Farnborough Town on loan in November 2003, remaining for two months and scoring twice in nine league appearances. Despite his initial promise, Semple struggled to have a regular place in the Peterborough team and, in four seasons, he made just 15 league starts, with another 26 appearances from the substitutes' bench.

In July 2006, Semple left Peterborough to join Lincoln City on a two-year contract but struggled to make an impact. A hamstring injury coupled with a lack of form limited him to just four substitute appearances in the league in his first season whilst a loan spell with Chester City was also unproductive.

At the beginning of the 2007–08 season, Semple was loaned to Rushden & Diamonds but, after just four appearances, he returned to Lincoln. In January 2008, having failed to even make the substitutes' bench for Lincoln, he was transfer listed by Lincoln's new manager, Peter Jackson, before he agreed to have his Lincoln contract cancelled at the end of January 2008.

In February 2008, he linked up with Oxford United on non-contract terms but the spell lasted only a single appearance and two weeks before he was released. In March 2008, he agreed to join Brackley Town, a club managed by his one-time Peterborough teammate David Oldfield. Semple left Brackley at the end of the 2007–08 season and spent most of the summer of 2008 without a club. In July 2008, he spent a brief period on trial at Boston United but was not offered a deal. Semple joined Deeping Rangers days before the start of the 2008–2009 season, scoring in his first match as Deeping defeated Rothwell Corinthians 5–0 on 9 August 2008. He had a rich scoring season with the club, the highlight being five goals against Sleaford Town on 23 September 2008. In April 2009, he signed dual forms with Haverhill Rovers to help them in their quest to avoid relegation from the Ridgeons League Premier Division; Semple works with their manager Peter Betts. On 5 June 2009, Semple joined Gainsborough Trinity. On 4 March 2010, he moved to Boston United.

On 29 April 2012, just after two years at the club he was released by the manager Jason Lee along with several other players and joined Corby Town. In June 2013 he joined Bury Town. In January 2014, he rejoined Boston United.

Video catches disgraced LA city councilman fighting political activist at Christmas tree lighting
December 10, 2022 | Melissa Fine | Print Article
Following a two-month absence from council chambers, Los Angeles City Council member Kevin de León found himself in the middle of a fight with an activist at a Christmas tree lighting and toy giveaway in Lincoln Park.
RootsAction and J-TOWN Action and Solidarity — two local activist organizations — posted part of the brouhaha on Twitter in a video that has now gone viral.
The activists blame the council member for the altercation, while de León says it was activist Jason Reedy, an organizer with the People's City Council, who assaulted him, according to the Los Angeles Times.
RIGHT NOW:
Disgraced Los Angeles City Councilmember Kevin De Leon JUST assaulted local organizer Jason Reedy. @kdeleon is out here assaulting people AGAIN. He was caught on those racist anti-Black leaked tapes and now he's assaulting Black folks. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! pic.twitter.com/BAhTvHIDlc
— RootsAction (@Roots_Action) December 10, 2022
In the 10-second, slowed-down clip, de León can be seen pushing Reedy onto a table, then strongarming him down what looks to be a hallway. The video does not show what preceded the images posted, and according to de León, he, a staff member, and a volunteer were "violently and physically assaulted."
"This evening a staff member, volunteer, and I were violently and physically assaulted by self-proclaimed activists at a community holiday event to the dismay of a multitude of families and children who were there to celebrate a Christmas tree lighting and to receive toys and food," the Democrat council member said in a statement released Friday.
"The escalating rhetoric is hitting a fever pitch, transcending from verbal threats into actual acts of violence and must end before more serious harm or loss of life occurs," he continued. "Violence is not free speech and has no place in politics or democracy."

Reedy's lawyer, Shakeer Rahman, tells a different story, claiming that de León is "a disgrace."
"Video footage clearly shows him and his supporters initiating this assault while Mr. Reedy stands prone," Rahman said in a statement to The Times. "Not only has Kevin de León lost all political legitimacy, his claims that he was the one attacked here simply underscores how he's lost touch with reality."
But according to the council member's spokesperson, Pete Brown, Reedy allegedly head-butted de León and elbowed a staff member in the face. A volunteer reportedly received a punch in the arm.
Naturally, none of these assaults were captured on the video, and Rahman called the head-butting claim "false."
"Mr. Reedy was criticizing Kevin de León's political record and echoing the widespread demands for him to resign," explained Rahman. "De León's supporters then initiated physical contact by shoving him, and de León grabbed Mr. Reedy. Mr. Reedy had his hands up and made zero contact with anyone until after de León grabbed him."
A social worker in attendance, identified only as "Giovanni," said he witnessed Reedy try to head-butt de León, but he failed to do so. He eventually pulled de León away from the protesters and into another room.
City Council President Paul Krekorian released a statement on Friday in which he sided with de León's account of the events and called the assault an "intolerable" crime, adding that the Los Angeles Police Department would "vigorously" investigate the incident.
"No matter what disputes we may have with elected officials or our fellow citizens, violence like this is completely unacceptable," Krekorian said. "In a free society political disagreements are unavoidable, and passionate discussion is necessary, but violence discredits the cause that employs it."
So far, authorities have divulged little in the way of details.
An LAPD spokesperson, Officer Drake Madison, said that officers were called to the scene to respond to a large fight involving eight possible suspects. By the time they arrived, the suspects had fled.
Los Angeles Fire Department spokesperson Nicholas Prange said that firefighters were on the scene to assess an adult male, who was not taken to a hospital.
De León came under fire in mid-October, after a racist audio tape involving him, then-Council President Nury Martinez, council member Gil Cedillo, and County Federation of Labor President Ron Herrera was leaked and went viral.
Council President Nury Martinez makes racist remarks in a leaked audio recording about Councilmember Mike Bonin's young son while Councilmembers Gil Cedillo and Kevin de León and County Federation of Labor President Ron Herrera chime in.

— Los Angeles Times (@latimes) October 10, 2022
Days after the audio went public, Martinez resigned, and many called for de León to do the same.
Just hours before the fight, de León made his first, tense appearance at a City Council meeting in two months.
According to The Times, police had stated that Reedy and another man were ejected from that meeting "out of concern that the men were about to get into a physical altercation."

International design and innovation agency, Carlo Ratti Associati (CRA), has been working with Italy's highway operator, ANAS, to design a 'Smart Road' system, featuring multi-sensor 'flying poles', facilities for self-driving cars, and on-demand drone swarms.
The Turin-based studio has been working with ANAS to design a Smart Highway program that will be implemented on more than 1,550 miles (2,500km) of Italian roads and highways. The project involves a pioneering infrastructure system featuring drones that are able to deliver first-aid support, as well as sensing poles that can send useful information to both today's drivers and tomorrow's self-driving vehicles. The program experiments with new ways of gathering and sharing data about mobility, with the objective of improving safety conditions and traffic management.
The new infrastructure centers around a series of 'flying poles', which incorporate multiple sensors and in-motion wi-fi connection services. Located at regular intervals, the poles' array of sensors will detect all major environmental variables, from air pollution to wind speed, humidity, and weather changes. Using the data collected by the poles, the system can inform drivers in real-time about the conditions on the road ahead. Direct, customized messages can be sent to each driver's cell phone or to each vehicle's onboard navigation system, which in turn can give their own feedback back to the system, while pole-mounted low-energy information panels display useful information to the driver.
On top of each pole is a recharging station, from which drones can take off and start monitoring the road. The drones offer a dynamic integration with the new infrastructure, as they can serve different purposes primarily related to safety and maintenance; from monitoring tunnels, viaducts or other remote pieces of infrastructure, to bringing medicine or other first-aid equipment to drivers, to detecting accidents, fires or floods happening close to a highway.
In December 2017, ANAS launched a €30m (US$37.3m) call for proposals from contractors to build the new Smart Road infrastructure according to CRA's design specifications, including the development of new data centers. The CRA collaboration is part of a larger digital transformation initiative put forward by ANAS over the last few years, covering about 10% of its 16,156 miles (26,000km) road network.
"The internet has radically transformed the way we get around, and how we design our roads," said Carlo Ratti, founding partner at CRA and professor of urban technologies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

'Close To A Worst-Case Scenario'—Former CDC Director Issues 'Horrifying' Outlook For New Covid Strain
Nicholas ReimannForbes Staff
I'm a news reporter for Forbes, primarily covering the U.S. South.
Former CDC Director Dr. Tom Frieden is warning that the U.S. may soon face "close to a worst-case scenario" as a new, highly-contagious strain of Covid-19 spreads around the country, warning that full hospitals in the U.S. may soon be the norm.
Medical Director of the ICU Dr. Thomas Yadegar checks the vital signs of a patient in a prep and ... [+] hold area which is usually reserved for patients that have had cardiac procedure, but it's being used as a holding area for patients that require admission to the Providence Cedars-Sinai Tarzana Medical Center in Tarzana, California on Jan. 3, 2021. (Photo by APU GOMES/AFP via Getty Images)
AFP via Getty Images
Frieden said of the strain that is rapidly spreading around the U.K. and Ireland that "I've never seen an epidemic curve like this."
The U.K. is averaging nearly 60,000 new cases a day now, after averaging around 15,000 new cases a day at the start of December, while Ireland's rise has been even more rapid.
Both countries are under strict lockdowns, yet cases continue to rise at a rate Frieden—who has spent decades working in public health—says he has never seen.
Eight states (Connecticut, Texas, Pennsylvania, Georgia, New York, Florida, California and Colorado) have confirmed at least one case of the new strain, which was identified in England during December.
There's worry the strain is already widely spreading in the U.S.; the first confirmed case on Dec. 29 was from a man in rural Colorado who had no history of recent travel.
Crucial Quote
"Next 11+ days are horrifying. Uncontrolled spread. Slow vaccine rollout. Worrisome variants," Frieden wrote in a tweet Friday. "Potential for perfect storm. Political turmoil and leadership vacuum."
Big Number
56%. That's how much more transmittable the new strain may be compared to other Covid-19 strains, according to a study from the London School of Hygiene And Tropical Medicine.
Key Background
The coronavirus pandemic is taking a worse toll on the U.S. now than at any point in the nearly one year the virus has been in the United States. For the first time, more than 4,000 deaths were reported in a single day on Thursday, according to Johns Hopkins University—the third-straight day the U.S. has set a new death record. More than 130,000 patients are hospitalized for Covid in the U.S., according to The COVID Tracking Project, while new daily case counts have topped 250,000 two out of the past six days.
Vaccine rollout has been much slower than expected, as many states seem to lack adequate plans for dissemination. President-elect Joe Biden said that when he takes office on Jan. 20, he plans to allow almost all of the coronavirus vaccine to be distributed, in a break from the Trump administration, which has held vaccines back in order to ensure those getting a shot will have a second dose.

New Real Madrid head coach, Zinedine Zidane, says he wants to win something by the end of the season.
The Frenchman, and Real legend, has taken over the reins from former boss Rafael Benitez who was sacked after just seven months in the job. The 43-year-old World Cup winner takes over a side that are currently four points off the top of La Liga.
Speaking at a press conference to announce his appointment Zidane said: "It's the best club in the world with the best fan-base in the world. I want to do my very best to ensure that this club at the end of the season will have a trophy.
"I will be working hard with all the players and I think it will go well. I am looking forward to working with everybody tomorrow. Tomorrow is when the work starts.
"Thank you to everyone. It is an important day for me, it's an emotional day, even more emotional than the day I signed as a player for the club. I will put all the heart I have into this job for the club. Thank you very much."


Construction is underway on California's first Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, which will be right here in the Inland Empire, at 11612 Amargosa Road in Victorville.
The High Desert seems to be kind of a testing ground for restaurant chains. If a chain only has one California location, it feels like it's usually up in the High Desert.
When Golden Corral returned to the state, it first showed up in Hesperia.
California's first Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers was built in Victorville.
The first civilian-accessible Dunkin' Donuts in the chain's recent return to California was in Barstow.
Tomorrow (June 6) is National Doughnut Day, an event begun during the Great Depression by the Salvation Army as a way to raise funds and bring awareness to the organization's social service programs.
It also commemorates the "doughnut lassies," female Salvation Army volunteers who provided writing supplies, stamps, clothes-mending and home-cooked meals, and of course, doughnuts, for soldiers on the front lines, initially during World War I.
Our friends from the Where's the Fire Gourmet Pizza truck have finally opened their restaurant.
The Hang Out Cafe is located at the Apple Valley Airport, 21600 Corwin Road.
For now, the new restaurant serves breakfast and lunch from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday.
They plan to be open seven days a week starting in a few weeks.
The few reviews on Yelp all been overwhelmingly positive.
The High Desert is gaining a Jersey Mike's Subs this week.
The Apple Valley location, 19179 Bear Valley Road, Suite 8, opens Wednesday (February 5) and is hosting a fundraiser through Sunday (February 9).
The sandwich shop distributed 10,000 coupons good for a free regular sub with a minimum $1 donation.
Sonic Drive-In is celebrating the winter solstice Saturday (December 21) in typical Sonic fashion: With half-price shakes all day long.
It's a perfect way to to treat yourself for getting your holiday shopping done.
You will have your holiday shopping done by Saturday, right?
High Desert folks…if you're looking for a more comfortable place to enjoy some comfort food, you might want to stop by the newly-remodeled Marie Callender's, 12180 Mariposa Road, Victorville.
The restaurant unveiled its new look last month.
Of course, it's also conveniently right off the 15 Freeway at Bear Valley Road for those Vegas road trips.
A trio of Inland Empire breweries are celebrating first anniversaries today (November 16).
From north to south, they are Oak Hills Brewing Company in Hesperia, Redlands' Ritual Brewing Co., and Wiens Brewing Company in Temecula.
The Barstow Station Dunkin' Donuts opened almost right on schedule Monday (November 4).
The location is the chain's second in its return to California after shutting down its 15 Southern California locations just before the turn of the century (and a failed Sacramento location in 2002).
An outlet opened on Camp Pendleton in May of last year.

Framing: More Powerful Than A Locomotive
Not long ago, I had the good fortune to find a seat at a special screening of the new documentary "Waiting for Superman" in Ann Arbor. The documentary is a skillfully constructed view of how our urban public schools often fail their students, though it is not without some serious faults. (Many of those are discussed better, elsewhere.) But the film overreaches when it tries to claim that because some urban schools are in trouble, the entirety of American public education is in trouble. That claim, for which the film provides no evidence, motivates the film's call for radical reform. But if the problems are not so endemic, and if different schools struggle with different issues, maybe the answer is more complicated, and varied, as well.

Top Gear (of course!), Mythbusters, Law & Order (now and again), Firefly, The Newsroom, Game of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire, NFL Football, COSMOS! (very much enjoy Neil deGrasse Tyson!), and The Grand Tour.
I've been a car enthusiast ever since my first copy of Car & Driver, back in 1972. I've owned one Toyota Celica 5-speed, two Thunderbirds (the Turbo Coupe and the SC, both manuals), and owned or leased seven BMW 3-series (ALL manuals!), plus my current ride. See the pattern? Now, having been to an Acura High Performance Driving Course at Mid-Ohio, I have more of an understanding of what it is to own and enjoy a serious sports car, and I hope to participate in such a course again, soon. Until the next time, I continue to enjoy my 2016 Ford Mustang GT.
Thanks again. I still love that Mustang!
You and me both! It's been a joy from Letter A!
Damn ... Danica is out. I wished so much better for her.
Just watched the classic Chaparral 2-E do the Goodwood hill climb! FANTASTIC!!!
TM if you like go ahead and post a car on the GTC.

Before glass can even be formed, raw materials, mainly sand, and recycled glass must be melted at extremely high temperatures (1,400°C). To achieve the heat intensity required in the glass furnaces, Air Liquide steps in with oxy-combustion technologies that replace air with oxygen, thus improving the melting process, reducing air pollutant emissions and saving fuel. Our solutions allow for rapid alternation of melting temperatures, for operational flexibility and for automatic temperature control in a wide range of glass furnace sizes.
Air Liquide supplies protective atmospheres and oxy-combustion solutions to drive molten glass from the melting furnace to the forming units.
Before a finished product can be packaged and put on the market, defaults must be removed. Air Liquide supplies oxy-natural based gas and oxy-hydrogen based combustion technologies to polish the product surface and remove the defaults present in glass.
Air Liquide's ALGLASS™ solution implements a protective atmosphere typically made out of 15% Hydrogen and 85% Nitrogen, to pour flat glass onto a molten tin bath (float glass).

Intercontinental Piano Duo

Shuann Chai and Yuan Sheng (Christopher Greenleaf photo)
For last Sunday's recital on the Frederick Historical Piano Concerts series in Ashburnham, two pianists who have appeared previously individually joined forces for a program of solo and duo works by the Schumanns and Brahms. Chinese-American Shuann Chai, who is now based in Amsterdam, was making her sixth appearance and Chinese pianist Yuan Sheng, professor at the Beijing Conservatory, but who earned his B.M. and M.M. degrees at the Manhattan School of Music in NYC, his third, but this was their first duet outing.
The instrument that they chose from the Frederick Collection was the 1868 Streicher, with the somewhat diabolical serial number 6668. It is parallel strung, with the overspun bass strings on a separate bridge, bass register single strung, the tenor register double, and the remainder triple strung, with a range of seven octaves. The hammers have leather covers, with felt beneath most except the very top notes. It is just over seven feet nine inches long and has a walnut veneer case with a wooden frame with two iron tension bars, but no metal string plate, and only the then-standard two pedals. The firm's characteristic elaborate nameplate on the fallboard says: "J.B. Streicher / K.K. Hof & Kammer Pianoforte Fabrikant / & Sohn in Wien " [= Johann Baptist Streicher / Königliche Kaiserliche (Royal Imperial) Court & Home Piano Manufacturer / & Son in Vienna] spread over three lines. For more information about this legendary company, readers may consult the beginning paragraphs of my review of a concert in which the Collection's 1871 instrument was used. It is identical to the one Brahms owned. The instrument has a clear tone, resonant and warm because of the quantity of wood and the lack of metal, mellow and somewhat throaty, that the Fredericks described in the program book as "transparent. " Although it is definitely a Romantic instrument, shining in lyrical and energetic moments, it is less bright than a modern Steinway and has considerably more color, with notable differences among the registers that remain distinct from each other while yet pleasantly blending.
Chai and Sheng opened and closed their program, composed of works mostly written within a single decade that ended a decade before the instrument was built, with the duet works, Chai handling the upper register and Sheng the lower and the pedals in both cases, and playing from scores, pretty much essential in duet playing. The opener was Robert Schumann's Bilder aus Osten, op. 66 (1848), often charmingly but inappropriately translated as "Images from the Orient," but it literally means "Pictures from the East"; and the melodies and rhythms come, in fact, from Central Europe, East of Germany, not from the Far East. It is a set of six varied impromptus.
Sheng followed this, playing from memory, with what the printed program listed as Brahms's 16 Variations on a theme of Robert Schumann, op. 54 (1861), but I am familiar with the work of this title as op. 9 (1854), written for Clara Schumann after the birth of her eighth child and after Robert was institutionalized, when Brahms was offering her support and companionship, since she was not permitted to visit Robert; Brahms had delivered the variations piecemeal, collecting them afterwards. The theme comes from Robert's Albumblatt in F-sharp minor from his Bunte Blätter, op. 99 (1836-49).
After offering some interesting commentary about Clara and Robert's relationship, Clara's music and her career before and after Robert's death, and her relationship with Brahms, Chai opened the second half of the program with Clara's [Seven] Variations on a theme of Robert Schumann, op. 20 (1853), work that she offered to Robert on his 43rd birthday, the year before his breakdown. The theme is the same one that Brahms used in his op. 9, played earlier. These variations stay closer to the theme, which always remains readily recognizable, than do those of the Brahms work, and they allowed a different aspect of the instrument to stand out. The piece also demonstrated that Chai is as good an ambassador for Clara's works as Clara was for Robert's. Chai followed this with Robert's Drei Fantasiestücke, op. 111 (1851), perhaps the most familiar of all the works on the program thus far, and the one with the greatest internal variety, although Chai was very restrained in her body movements and concentrated in her execution, even in places where some pianists tend to become quite demonstrative. She used scores for both works.
The duo concluded with the first five of Brahms's 21 Hungarian Dances, WoO 1, (1858-69) in their original piano four-hand versions, thus ending a program of generally calm, cerebral works that showed off the instrument's potential in a more quiet manner — although with a few brilliant moments, with one of more exuberant bravura that demonstrated its power; but the pieces were more harmonious and mellifluous and less brilliant, boisterous, and raucous than they sound on a modern Steinway-like instrument. Playing was impeccable throughout the recital and the partnership was polished. Future visits and collaborations will be most welcome.

In 1986, to meet the global challenges of new technology revolution and competition, four Chinese scientists, WANG Daheng, WANG Ganchang, YANG Jiachi, and CHEN Fangyun, jointly proposed to accelerate China's high-tech development. With strategic vision and resolution, the late Chinese leader Mr. DENG Xiaoping personally approved the National High-tech R&D Program, namely the 863 Program. Implemented during three successive Five-year Plans, the program has boosted China's overall high-tech development, R&D capacity, socio-economic development, and national security. In April 2001, the Chinese State Council approved continued implementation of the program in the 10th Five-year Plan. As one of the national S&T program trilogy in the 10th Five-year Plan, 863 Program continues to play its important role.
Objectives of this program during the 10th Five-year Plan period are to boost innovation capacity in the high-tech sectors, particularly in strategic high-tech fields, in order to gain a foothold in the world arena; to strive to achieve breakthroughs in key technical fields that concern the national economic lifeline and national security; and to achieve "leap-frog" development in key high-tech fields in which China enjoys relative advantages or should take strategic positions in order to provide high-tech support to fulfill strategic objectives in the implementation of the third step of our modernization process.
During the 10th Five-year Plan period, the 863 Program will continue to aim at the forefront of world technology development, intensify innovation efforts and realize strategic transitions from pacing front-runners to focusing on "leap-frog" development. Through efforts made in the 5 years, the program will greatly enhance China's high-tech innovation capacity in selected fields and improve the international competitiveness of major industries. It will master a number of technologies with industrial potential and proprietary IPR. It will nurture a number of high-tech industrial growth sources which will optimize and upgrade China's industrial structure as a way of fostering both the individual and the overall strength of high tech industries. It will also develop innovative and enterprising talents for high-tech R&D and industrialization.
1) Develop key technologies for the construction of China's information infrastructure.
The 863 Program will focus on developing a number of key technologies in the next five to ten years and establish systems of significant value for application. It aims to accelerate the national socio-economic development, drive industrialization through informatization, and enable China to approach or catch up with international pioneers in selected fields by the year 2005.
2) Develop key biological, agricultural and pharmaceutical technologies to improve the welfare of the Chinese people.
The 863 Program will concentrate on developing key technologies in agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and other related areas. It will enhance the overall bio-technological R&D level and capacity by a significant margin.
3) Master key new materials and advanced manufacturing technologies to boost industrial competitiveness.
The 863 Program attaches importance to developing nano-material and other new materials, along with related technologies for the development of aviation, the maglev train, information storage and access, in order to meet major demands of national security and economic development by utilizing China's characteristic resources, environment, and technical strength. Pursuant to advanced manufacturing technologies which cater to globalized agile manufacturing in the 21st century, the Program will develop advanced integrated manufacturing systems and common key technologies leading to the development and upgrading of China's manufacturing industry.
4) Achieve breakthroughs in key technologies for environmental protection, resources and energy development to serve the sustainable development of our society.
In accordance with major tasks, development priorities are categorized into Priority Projects and Key Projects.
Priority Projects are guided by encouraging innovation, obtaining IPR proprietorship and addressing key technological issues. Priority Projects conduct R&D in 19 subjects which impose the most significant impact on enhancing China's overall national strengths. These subjects range over 6 high-tech priority fields in the civil sector, including IT, bio-technology and advanced agricultural technology, advanced materials technology, advanced manufacturing and automation technology, energy technology as well as resource and environment technology.
Key Projects are centered on major systems and projects and guided by pooling resource to address significant high-tech issues in line with demands of major national strategies, the market and application. These issues bear strategic significance on China's high-tech development and participation in international competition. They will facilitate the formation of new economic growth sources and industrial clusters with international competitiveness, and serve as demonstration. They are also crucial elements in enhancing the competitive edge of major industries, facilitating industrial upgrading, developing China's own features of high technologies, and realizing "leap-frog" progress in the high-tech field.
During the 10th Five-year Plan period, the Program continues practicing an expert responsibility system to engage the full role of experts in technical decision-making and judgments of the high-tech development trend while further developing the decision-making role of the government. The system is tiered with expert committees (priorities) and expert panels (subjects). The former supervise, assess, and give advice on project implementation in relevant priority fields. The latter is responsible for technical decision-making on relevant subjects and their project process management.
During the 10th Five-year Plan period, the Program adopts project management system which includes calculation of the full budget, total cost accounting, and a project leader responsibility system. To pool resource and focus on key issues, key projects are managed by the general expert panel. As for R&D budget management, priority projects will be mostly financed by the government and adopt a project budget system. Meanwhile, local governments, industries, enterprises and the whole society will be encouraged to increase input into high-tech R&D.
A series of measures have been adopted for the smooth implementation of the program in the 10th Five-year Plan period.
(1) Encourage innovation. In project award and evaluation, proprietary intellectual property right (IPR) acquisition is adopted as an indicator to encourage innovation.
(2) Enhance the innovation capacity of enterprises and push them to become technical innovation entities. For application-oriented research, we adopted measures in project application, assessment and evaluation.
(3) Strengthen IPR management and protection. We strengthen study and analysis of IPR before and during project implementation and clearly define the rights and interests of the State, project stakeholders, and concerned parties in the application, development, and utilization of IPR.
(4) Strengthen the integration of the Program with local high-tech development. We initiated guidance projects to guide local high-tech development and associated industries to nurture economic growth sources.
(5) Encourage international cooperation. Special funds are earmarked to facilitate the integration of the 863 Program with the "Program on Major International Cooperation Projects", and support and encourage the implementation of international cooperative projects within the framework of the 863 Program.
