WIMBLEDON, England -- Rory McIlroy, sporting a pink tie in the royal box, stood and applauded Sabine Lisicki. Did he know the 21-year-old German's backstory? Did he know they shared an eerily similar rising-from-the-ashes trajectory in majors this year?
McIlroy famously blew a four-shot lead at the Masters earlier this year, then came back to take a wire-to-wire victory in the U.S. Open at Congressional Country Club, shooting a record 16-under par and winning by eight strokes.
Lisicki? She had led No. 3 seed Vera Zvonareva 5-4 in the third set at the French Open earlier this year, then collapsed in a mess of tears and leg cramps and was carried off the court on a stretcher. Tuesday, she gagged again in the second set of the Wimbledon quarterfinals, blowing a 5-4 lead against Marion Bartoli. Lisicki whiffed on three match points, lost in a tiebreaker and another appearance by the medics seemed inevitable.
But this time Lisicki rallied against the determined Bartoli, finishing emphatically 6-4, 6-7 (4), 6-1.
"I don't know what to say," Lisicki said in her BBC postmatch interview, giggling. "I am so speechless.
"I was very disappointed with myself at 5-4 because I missed so easily. I didn't just go for it. But I felt I was the better player and knew I had to focus and fight again in the third set."
As a result, Germany has its first women's Wimbledon semifinalist since Steffi Graf landed in the final four a dozen years ago. Lisicki, who once had dinner with Graf and her husband, Andre Agassi, in their Las Vegas home, will play Maria Sharapova on Thursday.
In 11 previous Grand Slams, Lisicki had truly distinguished herself only once -- when she reached the quarterfinals here at the All England Club as a 19-year-old. But last year at Indian Wells, she suffered a left ankle injury that sidelined her for five months. After seven weeks on crutches, her calf muscles were wasted and she had to reteach herself to walk.
Progress was slow until she found herself back on the grass she loves so much. Two weeks ago at Birmingham, she won the second title of her career. And now, after running the table here as a wild card, she has a perfect 11-0 singles record on grass this year.
Lisicki's varied game suggests she can contend here for a while. Not only did she hit one serve 121 miles per hour (Andy Murray's average first-serve speed Monday), but her drop shots and lobs consistently befuddled Bartoli, who looked exhausted in the third set.
"My mind was trying extremely hard, but just my body couldn't do anything anymore," Bartoli explained later. "I play a lot of matches, a lot of long matches. At the end, I couldn't anymore."
Lisicki entered the tournament as the WTA's No. 62-ranked player. Now she's projected to be the top-25 player she was two years ago.
"I cannot explain how I feel at the moment," she said. "It was such a tough road. To stand on Centre Court at Wimbledon … I'm just so happy."
A wounded Rafa will come out swinging: The look on his face was reminiscent of that pained -- almost scared -- expression when his right knee forced him to retire at last year's Australian Open. Nadal clutched his left heel during his fourth-round match with Juan Martin del Potro on Monday, and you sensed it was bad. Certainly, Rafa thought so. If you listened in on his conversation with the doctor and trainer during an injury timeout, you would have thought his campaign to win a third Wimbledon title was over. Not to worry. Through the miracle of Facebook, Rafa calmed fears with a post that read, in part: "Yesterday after the match I went to take an MRI at a London hospital. During the match I thought I had something serious but as the match went through the pain got better and thankfully the tests don't show an injury. Today I will practice at 4.30 p.m. and I'll play tomorrow." Rafa, who plays Mardy Fish in a Wednesday quarterfinal match, has won 18 straight matches at the All England Club.
Sharapova has the look of a champion -- again: It's rare to see a one-hour match in the quarterfinals of a major, but that's what happened Tuesday. Maria Sharapova, holding a height advantage of nearly a foot, wrecked Dominika Cibulkova 6-1, 6-1 in 60 minutes to advance to a semifinal against Lisicki. "This is a great chance for me to take it a step further," Sharapova said. Six ESPN.com prognosticators (including yours truly) chose Sharapova as their winner.
The men's side is as predictable as … rain at Wimbledon: It has never happened in the 44 years of the Open era, but it could happen Wednesday. The top four seeds have yet to advance to a major semifinal in back-to-back Grand Slam events, but No. 1 Rafael Nadal, No. 2 Novak Djokovic, No. 3 Roger Federer and No. 4 Andy Murray are favored to do just that. At the French, Nadal and Federer made it to the final, beating Murray and Djokovic, respectively, to get there. For the record, in 1985 Ivan Lendl, John McEnroe, Jimmy Connors and Mats Wilander made the semifinals at the French and U.S. Opens. The last time it happened at Wimbledon? Andre Agassi, Pete Sampras, Boris Becker and Goran Ivanisevic did it 16 years ago.
Active parenting power rankings: 1. Arsalan Rezai. His daughter Aravane has filed a lawsuit against her father, charging him with extortion and alleging "intentional violence and death threats." He is banned from WTA events. 2. Dr. Walter Bartoli. He and his wife Sophie were banished by their daughter Marion from Court 12 during her third-round match. She played considerably better while they watched on television in the players' lounge. 3. Judy Murray. Her tweets that prattle on about Feliciano "Deliciano" Lopez are distressing to her son Andy. "It's making me sick," he said. "It's disgusting."

Collins steers Blount into a promising future
|| Print |
|Articles - March 2011
|Wednesday, March 02, 2011
By Ben Jacklet
Josh Collins took over as CEO of Portland-based Blount International just after the worst year in the company's 65-year history. Business had dropped off by 20% in 2009, forcing widespread layoffs. "We were looking down into the abyss," Collins recalls. "I was observing from the board level and we were nervous. You just didn't know how bad it was going to get."
Collins gave full credit to his predecessor, Jim Osterman, for taking the tough steps necessary to get the company through the worst of the downturn. Then he set to work rebuilding a global business with a storied history in Oregon, the world's leading manufacturer of saw chain and other mechanical parts and devices used for cutting.
At 46 years old, Collins is fairly young to be running a business with sales in more than 100 countries. But he was no neophyte when he took over in January 2010. He had been deeply involved with the company since he helped Lehman Brothers buy it in 1998. Prior to that he was a Marine who fought in the first Persian Gulf War and came home to earn an MBA from Harvard.
Collins went directly from Harvard to Wall Street, where he got placed into the private equity group at Lehman Brothers. One of his first clients was Blount, a sprawling conglomeration combining the Oregon chainsaw empire of John Gray with the Alabama construction and munitions empire of Red Blount. Blount bought Omark from Gray in 1985 and wanted to cash out his family's position in 1999. "We took a good hard look and bought it," says Collins in typically direct fashion.
Collins and his colleagues at Lehman dropped the holding company in Alabama, moved headquarters back to Portland, sold the ammunition business for a tidy profit and took the company public in 2004. Collins took a seat on the board, no longer representing Lehman but as an independent director.
Blount grew steadily after going public, but the outlook turned ominous in 2008. Ironically, it was the collapse of Collins's former employer, Lehman Brothers, that tipped the global economy into freefall. Collins, who had nothing to do with the complex financial derivatives trading unit at Lehman that wreaked so much havoc, left Lehman in January 2008 to start his own firm with a colleague. "Good time to leave Lehman," he says. "Terrible time to try to raise money."
It was also a tough time to sell saw chain. The example Collins offers is Russia. In the nine months prior to October 2008, Blount closed $18 million in sales in the region. "The following nine months, zero," he says. "No sales. Nobody had any money to buy anything."
The first thing Collins did as CEO was to assemble a senior leadership team and gain consensus around a decision-making process that drew on his experience with the Marine Corps. "My point of view is that the decision-making process you establish is more important than any single decision you make," he says. "Everybody in the chain needs to understand what our mission is and what we're trying to accomplish, not just in their unit but in the entire organization. Otherwise you're going to miss opportunities because you won't see the larger picture."
Collins and his team of senior managers meet for three to four hours every Monday. "We're always thinking we're going to get that down to an hour but we never do," he says. "We discuss any problem, any issue that could have an impact on the company or investors."
The next step was to run a full strategic review of the business. The process took several months and resulted in a list of specific initiatives to drive growth in three areas: existing businesses, new products and acquisitions that make a "tight strategic fit." The company's most recent acquisition, of Colorado-based SpeeCo in August 2010, gives Blount a huge supply of log splitters to incorporate into its global distribution network.
Collins says that if Blount stays on track with its initiatives, revenues will grow from $487 million in 2009 to approximately $920 million in 2014. "We're on track or ahead of schedule," he says. The company added 400 jobs in 2010, about half of them in the Portland area. It also released a new product called PowerSharp that enables chainsaw users to sharpen their saws in a matter of seconds instead of constantly having to stop work to re-sharpen. Collins predicts PowerSharp "will absolutely change our industry… This is the opportunity of the decade for us."
PowerSharp was designed by a team of engineers based in Portland. Collins says that team and others will grow locally as Blount expands globally. "We absolutely expect to stay in Oregon," he says. "We have an enormous commitment. We have approximately 1,300 employees in the Portland metro area and three manufacturing plants and our headquarters here. We're not going anywhere."

It looks like Emblem3 might just have what it takes to be the next big pop stars.
On Friday, the former "X Factor" contestants performed their brand-new single, "Chloe (You're the One I Want)," on "Good Morning America," and in less than a week, the music video for the single (the band's first clip) received more than a million views on YouTube. Pretty impressive for guys who were relative unknowns this time last year.
The video for "Chloe" shows off the trio's SoCal vibe but delivers a strong message. When they recently stopped by MTV News, they admitted that the clip brings the song to a whole new level.
"I loved the video — it made the song really cool," Wesley Stromberg said. "That whole day we were on cloud nine."
The group, composed of Wesley, his brother Keaton Stromberg, and Drew Chadwick, shot the video, which was directed by Ray Kelly, last month in Los Angeles. The clip focuses on a series of shy girls, outsiders to the popular crowd, who pass along buttons that say "I'm a Chloe."
The buttons encourage them to realize that inner beauty is what counts. The video ends with all the Chloes coming together for an
Emblem3 show.
"When we were onstage with the whole crowd scene, that was cool because everyone was bumping and jumping and rocking out to the song," Wes said.
But as much fun as that was, the guys most enjoyed the scene in which they were able to let their inner rock stars out.
"My favorite scene is when we were trashing the dressing room," Wes said. "We literally trashed the dressing room nine times. I was throwing glass at a mirror and was like, 'This is wrong.' But it felt awesome."
The guys are now gearing up for the release of their debut album, Nothing to Lose, which hits stores July 30. That leaves their fans just enough time to learn all the lyrics before catching them as the opening act on Selena Gomez's Stars Dance World Tour.

It would be nice to add possibility to add ignorefiles option for files just like ignoredirs for directories. I have added this for my lxr and it's just 3 lines of code.
Would it be also possible for ignoredirs option to handle regexp? I would like to exclude /include dir from indexing (as header files are also within libs).
Well, this is new feature which could be included in the next release.
1/ regexp for 'ignoredirs'
I had a quick look at the code sections related to 'ignoredirs'. The change seems to involve the 'getdir' sub in the vatious Files/ handlers.
2/ files exclusion
I wonder if it is not already there. Look at the end of 'source' script (lines 401-406 in release 1.0). There is an undocumented call to lxr.conf's parameter 'filter'. It looks like it should be a regexp SELECTING (not excluding) which file or directory is displayed. This has been lurking in 'source' for ages and I really never succeeded in setting it up correctly. The main difficulty for the regexp is to be valid both for directories (otherwise they can't be listed) and for wanted files. All failures end up with 'fil does not exist' (which is what I always got!). You might experiment with it.
Note that this does not exclude files from indexing, meaning you have no speed improvement in genxref.
I suppose your 3-line solution is something equivalent to line 242 (release 1.0) which excludes *.o, *.a, core files (and also the index files of the initial LXR implementation). Can you send your patch?
Best regards
Lukasz M
Actually, I do not mind displaying the file/directory. I would rather it not be indexed.
For ignoring files (from indexing) I just modified the following:
# Check directories to ignore
if (-d $dir . $node) {
foreach my $ignoredir (@{$config->{'ignoredirs'}}) {
next FILE if $node eq $ignoredir;
# Directory to keep: suffix name with a slash
push(@dirs, $node . '/');
} else {
--> foreach my $ignorefile ($config->ignorefiles) {
--> next FILE if $node eq $ignorefile;
--> }
# File: don't change the name
push(@files, $node);
I experimented with 'filter' and finally got it right. To include only Perl files for instance, add in lxr.conf:
, 'filter' => '(\\/$|\\.pm$)'
The first alternative keeps directories (they have a canonical trailing slash as fixed in LXR::Common::httpinit); the second keeps only .pm files;
I admit that this INCLUDE rule is probably less flexible as in EXCLUDE rule. Second, it does not prevent genxref from indexing. I'll add an 'ignorefiles' parameter for both genxref and source.
Could you better explain your "exclude /include dir from indexing (as header files are also within libs)". Do you mean there is a link resulting in duplicate files: one set accessed through /include and another accessed through /libs? I'll see if the "already indexed" featured can cope with this. Otherwise, add one of the set to 'ignoredirs'.
Lukasz M
Exactly, I have duplicate files in /include folder. Due to that any search results in duplcate results. I also cannot add this folder to ignoredirs because I have some other include dirs in some libs. So really I would like to ignore only /include folder and not /somelib/include.
Mmmh! Your "specification" is hard to twist into the present implementation. It was designed to be rather efficient: 'ignoredirs' is taken into consideration when function getdir() is invoked to enumerate the content of a directory. 'ignoredirs' subdirectories are filtered here. This is also where 'ignorefiles' could be filtered. But, only this very "local" path element is compared, not the whole absolute path.
This is very good for large sized projects such as the Linux kernel (~37 000 files and hundreds, maybe thousands, directories). I want to keep performance on such projects.
'ignoredirs' is also scanned in toreal() function with pattern matching. This is compatible with a longer path fragment (i.e. containing path separators). But this function exists only ib Plain.pm and CVS.pm, not in GIT.pm nor Subversion.pm. Consequently, this is not the place for implementation.
While I think about an angle of attack, what about the following strategy since your concern is to prevent duplicates from entering into the DB:
- before genxref step, disable (or remove) the links (ln) causing the duplicates,
- launch genxref to create the DB without duplicates,
- recreate the links.
This could temporarily solve your problem. If there are too many links, you can design a small script so that you only type a short command to do the removal/creation.
Transferred from "support request" to "feature request"
I rearchitected the "storage" backend through common factoring 'ignoredirs' and file filtering processing. They are now located in a single Files.pm method which can be referenced from the specific classes.
dirs: I can add a new parameter to filter out based on full path instead of last segment. It is preferentially a regexp to allow accurate exclusion. However, I fear performance impact on kernel indexing (more than 38'000 files which would trigger the regexp -- mostly to tell "go ahead")
What would suggest for the name of the global directory-excluding parameter?
files: I replaced the various hard-coded regexp in the storage backends by a call to the new method which uses regexp contained in 'ignorefiles'. I also removed the filter in source's direxpand since the regexp already excludes the previously discarded files (and it is more efficient since the removal is done when enumerating the directory).
Lukasz M
Would it be possible to leave 'ignoredirs'? The list could be extended to handle something like r'abc', where abc would be regexp. If just name got given then it would work as it worked before.
I was thinking of a new pair of parameters.
In your specification proposal, you want to be able to filter the full path.
Presently, 'ignoredirs' and the new 'ignorefiles' are activated in sub getdir() when scanning the "current" directory. It is thus very fast to check only the last segment of the path. I could extend 'ignoredirs' to be a mixed list of strings and regexps (if I can find an efficient Perl way to discriminate between then) but still on the last path segment.
The new set (or may be a single parameter, a path is a string after all) would be an indication that full path filtering is wanted. The reason why I'd like to have both sets separate is I fear the cost of repetitively regexp-testing the full path when genxref'ing the kernel (38'000 files and hundreds of directories with an average path length over 60 characters, max. around 110 characters). Presently, my best indexing time on my high-end computer (3.4GHz) is 2 hours 40 minutes on a 3.1 kernel. I had a hard time to squeeze it from 3:50 to 2:40 (this was through DB requests restructuring, but directory tree traversal seems also expensive -- I know the worst step is reference collecting because the parser is written in Perl [interpretation not execution!!] with regexp instead of a good LR finite state automaton).
If the set does not exist, I can quickly skip the test. If it exist, I can launch a "long" test on the full path.
In the single set solution, I don't see how I can keep the fast last-segment test and switch to the long full-path regexp test.
On what kind of tree do you need such detailed exclusion control? (number of files/directories, any conventional pattern in names?, mixture of languages, ...) This information could give me leads in better understanding your needs.
PS I've uploaded a beta version of the User Manual with a description of 'ignorefiles'. You can download it through a link in http://lxr.sf.net/en/index.html. Please give me your feedback.
Extension implemented as 3 new configuration parameters while retaining the present simple and fast 'ignoredirs'.
a/ 'ignorefiles' is a regexp against the final path segment (aka. filename). If it matches, file is skipped.
b/ 'filterdirs' is an array of regexp against the full path. If one matches, directory is skipped.
c/ 'filterfiles' is an array of regexp against the full path. If one matches, file is skipped.
These exclusion rules are tested inside getfir() function. This function is a method inside the storage engines (Files/*.pm). It provides a list of a directory content, considering separately sub-directories and files. Rule order of application is 'ignore***' first, then 'filter***' if first rule did not exclude the candidate directory/file.
The exclusion rules are checked only in getdir(). This allows to bypass them by typing an otherwise forbidden path as an URL in the browser address bar. Of course, the locally declared variables or functions will not be highlighted since they have not been indexed by genxref. Ther's no free meal!

We all expect Microsoft to roll out new Windows 10 flagship smartphones when Windows 10 is released a bit later this year and new rumors show there may be two variations with 20 megapixel cameras.
We're excited to bring this weekly top news roundup covering Windows Phone. This week in Windows Phone there were reports of a way to turn the phone into a near-PC, Windows 10 will have a staggered rollout, and Microsoft wants competitor's apps in the Windows 10 store.
How can there be a future for Windows on smartphones and tablets when Microsoft is encouraging developers to bring its apps from Apple and Google's ecosystem?

Microsoft wants Windows 10 to run on every PC worldwide, which is why they're offering it as a free upgrade to everyone running Windows 7 or 8.1. But the company's obsession with "genuine" Windows threatens to scuttle that grand plan.
Microsoft is seeking a US ban on sales of several Kyocera Android smartphones that it contends violates its patents.

You need a taxi to get there because there is no way you would find it. It was okay as we were there for the one night and the staff were friendly.

text: 000 FXUS63 KEAX 101946 AFDEAX AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Kansas City/Pleasant Hill MO 246 PM CDT SAT OCT 10 2015 .DISCUSSION... Issued at 244 PM CDT SAT OCT 10 2015 Dry, generally quiet weather is expected to continue through pretty much the entire forecast. The only concern is for fire weather on Sunday but especially Monday afternoon in the wake of a cold front. Sunday will be a very anomalously warm day as highs climb to 15 to 20 degrees above normal. The record for Kansas City is 89. Right now, while we`ll be close to that with a forecast high of 85, the thermal axis continues to be draped from far northwestern Missouri through south central Kansas. So it`s likely that the northwest corner of Missouri will the upper 80s, perhaps approaching 90 degree, temperatures. While it will be very warm for this time of year, there does seem to be enough moisture advection to keep humidity values from tanking. So minimum afternoon humidity values in the 30 to 34 percent range look likely. Winds will also be in the 10 to 15 mph range with some higher gusts. So while the fire danger looks elevated, it should not reach critical levels on Sunday. A cold front will move through during the overnight hours. This will knock about 15 degrees off of the temperatures but the real difference will be in the dewpoints. Strong dry advection behind the front combined with gusty northwesterly winds may be enough to lead to critical fire weather conditions. It`s still early in the fall but grasses aren`t very cured, but it has been dry over the last month or so which could be problematic given the air mass advecting into the area. For the extended portion of the forecast, temperatures will remain mild with slightly above normal temperatures, in the lower 70s, through the middle of the week. By the end of the week, another front should move through the area and usher in a cooler air mass. Still, it only decreases temperatures to near to just below average. The GFS develops some precipitation Saturday and Saturday night on the nose of a low level jet. While this is possible, the probabilities at this point are not worth mentioning, so have kept the forecast dry until there is better consensus amongst the models at this time frame and a more robust signal. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Sunday Afternoon) Issued at 1159 AM CDT SAT OCT 10 2015 VFR conditions expected through the period with modest southerly winds tonight. Those winds increase to around 10-15 kts with some higher gusts possible. Only a few high level cirrus clouds are expected. && .FIRE WEATHER... Issued at 244 PM CDT SAT OCT 10 2015 Elevated fire danger is expected Sunday afternoon as temperatures warm into the mid to upper 80s with gusty southerly winds. However, there may be enough moisture advection to keep humidity values from reaching critical values, despite deep mixing. A greater risk for potentially critical fire weather conditions will exist Monday afternoon. A strong cold front will move through the region with a significantly drier air mass advecting into the region. Minimum afternoon humidity values may fall to around 25% with winds perhaps gusting to around 25 mph. && .EAX Watches/Warnings/Advisories... KS...NONE.

New Works Four Weeks Festival: Thirty Years in Thirty Minutes
Paula Mann celebrates 30 years as a provocative dance maker with a memoir-based dreamscape that integrates video and animation by Steve Paul and music by Michelle Kinney. Critic Jack Anderson described a performance of Mann's "I Love Tomorrow" (from which "Thirty Years in Thirty Minutes" is excerpted) in New York last July as a surreal trip through Mann's life in dance: "Mixed-media effects allowed Mann and Paul to blur distinctions between events actually happening on stage and projections and video images on the back wall that could have been events remembered or only imagined, especially brief, blurry, fleeting, and never quite discernible images resembling those peculiar images we may see in moments of reverie or when we're on the edge of sleep..." In addition, there will be excerpts from Mann's "Light Body," and works by Jessica Briggs and Steve Peabody. (Photo by Avye Alexandres)

Saw the teaser trailer and "Cloverfield" this morning.
Both are excellent. :thumbsup:
Can you comment on the audience's reaction? I hoping the general public is willing to give this movie a chance despite the science fiction factor.
From what I could see of the trailer, I think it's pretty awesome.
I went and there were a bunch of teenagers there. I was expecting derisive laughter and it never came. I was glad.

Cuomo Singles Out Chelsea Principal in Speech
Gov. Andrew Cuomo, during his first State of the State speech, singled out a New York City principal whose school WNYC has been profiling in our "Big Fix" series with GothamSchools.
The governor praised Principal Brian Rosenbloom, of Chelsea Career and Technical Education High School, on Wednesday for raising attendance and test scores.
"That performance is what we want to incentivize, that performance is what we want to model," Cuomo said, as he described two new competitive grant programs modeled after the U.S. government's Race to the Top program.
Rosenbloom, who attended the speech in Albany, stood up when the governor mentioned Chelsea. Following the speech, the principal said he was nervous but he felt good when he saw a text message from his government studies teacher.
"He said the class went ballistic and they saw you and they heard the school's name," Rosenbloom said, laughing.
Gov. Cuomo was correct in stating that Chelsea's attendance had improved since Rosenbloom's arrival in 2008, from 73 percent to about 85 percent. But it seems like he reached a little far when he said the percentage of students passing the Regents since then had gone from 31 percent to 89 percent. Rosenbloom said that's strictly the percentage of sophomores who passed the Global Studies exam in 2008 and 2010.
The governor said he wants to "incentivize" improvements like those at Chelsea by putting aside $250 million to reward school districts that raise student achievement. Cuomo proposed using another $250 million for districts that figure out ways of becoming more efficient. He didn't provide any details, however, about the source of this $500 million in proposed new funding other than saying he wants to trim government.
New York's entire Race to the Top grant is worth $700 million and that's already been committed to various programs such as creating new data systems for tracking student achievement, and improving teacher training.
Rosenbloom didn't have much time to absorb the governor's proposals. He said he was trying to follow the speech and stand up at the right moment when the cameras panned to him. But he said he was impressed with what he heard.
"I believe that we need to find ways of not just doling out dollars but making sure that we're getting, as he said, something back for the money," he said.
Rosenbloom's own school is the recipient of a new federal school improvement grant worth almost $1 million annually for the next three years. That money has enabled him to lengthen the school day, keep teachers he might have otherwise let go for budget reasons, and bring in staff developers. Chelsea Career and Technical Education High School is among 11 schools receiving these federal "transformation" grants.
As for driving up to Albany for a moment in the spotlight, Rosenbloom thought it would be good for his school. "I was very humbled by the experience, and I must say that I think a lot of the credit should also go to my staff and the students who worked hard to see changes in their school," he said.
Having his students watch their principal get a shout-out from the governor, he added, "It can have a great, positive impact on them, too."

The M-1 RAIL Streetcars will be ADA compliant, have Wi-Fi and storage space for bicycles. The rendering is an example what the streetcars could look like in Detroit once the system is operational in 2016. M-1 RAIL officials are currently conducting necessary due diligence with streetcar vendors who submitted proposals to provide streetcars for the 3.3. mile streetcar system on Woodward in Detroit. Rrendering received Feb. 18, 2014 from M-1 Rail. / M-1 Rail
As plans for the M-1 Rails hub and administration offices begin to take shape, residents in the north end Detroit neighborhood where the project is being built will get a chance to have input as to how the final product will look.
From landscaping to lighting, M-1 Rail officials are seeking input on the vehicle storage and maintenance facility, to be built along Woodward between Custer and E. Bethune avenues. The process will begin today at a meeting from 6 to 8:30 p.m. at the Triumph Church East Campus, 2760 E. Grand Blvd. Several other meetings are planned.
We think its very important for community, specifically, to have some input, said Sommer Woods, director of external relations for the M-1 Rail project. A lot of it is from an aesthetic perspective and how it fits into the community as well, understanding what the community is doing.
The $140-million M-1 Rail will consist of a 3.3-mile streetcar line on Woodward between downtown Detroit and the New Center area.

■ Graphic: See the M-1 rail route
Construction of the $6.9-million hub and office facility is expected to start in August after officials seek choose a company to design the facility. It is expected to be between 17,000 and 20,000 square feet, including a second floor for storage.
Todays meeting is the first chance to get with residents in the area and talk specifics of the project itself. The curbside streetcar line is expected to run along Woodward from Jefferson Avenue to Grand Boulevard. The groundbreaking has been planned for this summer, with lines expected to be complete on the 3.3-mile stretch by late 2016. Amenities already discussed are wi-fi and bike storage on the trains.
Khalilah Gaston, executive director for Vanguard Community Development Corp., said the community meetings will give M-1 leaders an opportunity to tell their story to residents.

It makes the project more tangible, Gaston said Wednesday. People have seen M-1 Rail in the media, but it hasnt gotten to that intersection yet. Itll kind of signal to residents that this will have a bearing on what will happen in the north end. Residents have questions about how will they board and what will be the process, how it will impact nonmotorized transportation. Buses. Environmental impact.
Community input has been key recently in construction projects across the region, including the I-96 reconstruction project. In that case, MDOT officials reached out to drivers through social media and area businesses to poll them on whether to shutter a section of the entire freeway completely or to partially close the interstate during construction, which was expected to take up to three years.
The entire section of I-96 from Telegraph Road to Newburgh Road closed in early April and could reopen before fall.
