As part of the NYC DOT’s Urban Art Program’s Asphalt Art Activation initiative, NY Cares and the DOT Bike Share Program present “Lovely to See You” by Brooklyn-based artist Emily Caisip at the Franklin Street Bike Share station. On the first day of the two day installation, the DOT Bike Share staff primed the site with a vibrant blue color. On the second day, NY Cares volunteers assisted in the implementation of the colorful red leaf design. The leaf pattern was inspired by leaves that are strewn about on many of our New York City streets. The placement of the leaves was spontaneous, while creating a sense of order and pattern at the same time. This project was the first for the Asphalt Art Activation initiative, which activates asphalt with murals around bike share stations throughout the city.

Eighth-grader Alexius Pierce made the go-ahead layup in the game's last minute, and junior Diamonne Harris hit four straight free throws in the final 10 seconds as the Syracuse Academy of Science held off Allegany-Limestone, 55-50, in a Class C girls basketball state semifinal at Hudson Valley Community College.
The Section III-champion Atoms (20-4) will play in the 8-year-old program's first state final at 4 p.m. Saturday against Section IX champion Millbrook.
"It feels unbelievable," said Harris, who led all scorers with 20 points. "We worked so hard - day after day - it was all worth it. It feels so good."
"We just willed our way (to the win), said senior leader Lyrik Jackson, who scored 14 points, grabbed eight rebounds and made five steals for the Atoms. "Coach said keep pushing. We didn't want to go home."
SAS, which trailed by six points at the half (32-26) sparked its second-half offense with a pressing defense that forced Allegany-Limestone into 22 turnovers and yielded a dozen steals.
The #SASAtoms also held Gators' star senior center Morgan Davis to 14 points, about five below her season's average. Morgan only had six in the second half.
"Amazing. Just amazing," said #SASCS head coach Reggie Pickard. "I'm still kind of dreaming - like are we here or not, you know? We're doing everything possible to win a championship. We've worked hard for eight years, and here we are."
The Atoms trailed by as many as eight points late in the second quarter but caught the Gators just two minutes into the third using a press that started paying off in turnovers.
"Our pressure has been the key for us all year," Pickard said. "We force turnovers, make the game kind of ugly.
I thought if we pressured a little more in the second half it would harder for them to get the ball to their bigs."
Allegany-Limestone, from Section VI near Olean, still led by two at the start of the fourth quarter, but SAS sophomore Xyel Bradford's 3-pointer put the Atoms ahead, 41-40, with just under 7 minutes left. Pierce hit another huge three with 2:30 left to play that gave SAS a 47-46 advantage.
But the Gators continued to make big baskets, too, and Allegany-Limestone had a 50-49 lead, and the ball, with just under a minute left to play.
On the in-bounds play, Harris dove for a steal and somehow got the ball to Pierce, who drove in for what would turn out to be the winning points, making it 51-50, Atoms.
The Gators began fouling, but Harris proved worthy against the pressure, hitting two sets for free throws in the final eight seconds.
"It was very nerve-wracking, but we do this all of the time in practice," she said. "I have to stay calm."
Allegany-Limestone coach Frank Martin said his team just couldn't quite hold it together in the final minutes against the SAS quickness.
"I'd love to have the last minute and a half back," he said. "We weren't as good as we needed to be to close this game out. We just weren't as good as we needed to be at the end."
The Atoms had a scare in the final seconds when Jackson took a shot to her head when she went down chasing a loose ball and an Allegany-Limestone player fell on top of her. She had to be helped off the court but was up and talking in the aftermath.
Harris said she hoped to go swimming in the hotel pool later in the day, but her coach wasn't hearing it.
No, no. We're not going to do any swimming," he said, laughing. "Too much muscle movement. They got mad at me last night because I took their phones from them. I'm doing that again tonight, too."

It was a magic season for the Syracuse Academy of Science girls basketball team.
The #SASAtoms accomplished a lot - winning the program's first Section III title and advancing to the state final four.
SAS missed out on only one goal, as Section IX champion Millbrook bested the Atoms, 67-64, in overtime in the Class C state championship game at Hudson Valley Community College.
"We came up short, but we accomplished a whole lot," #SASCS coach Reggie Pickard said after his team came out on the short end of the 4-minute extra session, during which the Atoms led three times before surrendering the final four points. "Overtime game, we lost to a great team, a well-coached team."
SAS, who finish 19-5, lost despite a determined effort from senior Lyrik Jackson, who led the Atoms with 24 points and 15 rebounds, and junior Diamonne Harris, who added 23 points.
"She made a big difference," Pickard said.
Millbrook led the whole way, until there was just one minute left in regulation. A basket by Jackson tied the game at 54-54.
The Blazers pushed the lead back to four points with 34 seconds left, but SAS got a pair of free throws from Jackson to pull within two and 6-0 sophomore Erykah Pasha sent the game into overtime by converting two free throws with no time left on the clock after she was fouled on a put back attempt at the buzzer.
The Atoms led three times in the extra session - 60-59, 62-61 and 64-63 - before the Blazers got their final points from reserve junior forward Claire Martell, who hit a basket and two free throws in the final 45 seconds.
Pickard said he told his players to keep their heads high.
"I just told them they had no reason to hang their heads," said Pickard, who started the varsity program at SAS in 2010. "We set a goal at the beginning of the season. We reached our goal, but we just came up short."
Pickard said his all-state senior, Jackson, was all heart.
"She played hurt. She twisted her ankle early on. Her shoulder was still sore from the fall yesterday. She was banged up. But she gave it her all. She gave it her heart," he said.
The coach said he hoped the Atoms would be back, albeit probably in a higher classification. Nearly everyone associated with Section III basketball expects that SAS will be moved up in class by the competition committee.

A blocked extra point by Matthew Tamburri and a 4th down sack by Curtis Jerzerick sealed Army West Point Sprint Football’s victory over Navy 24-23 in a thriller at Shea Stadium on Halloween Oct. 31.
With the win, the Black Knights (7-0, 7-0 CSFL) cap off their 17th perfect season and 34th Collegiate Sprint Football League (CSFL) title.
The seniors from the Class of 2016 who were honored before today’s game have the best four-year record of any class in the program’s 58-year history at 27-1 and won three CSFL Championships. Those seniors are kicker Warren Kay, punter Mark Dabeck, defensive linemen Jared Sturgell, Curtis Gardner and Philip Choi, wide receivers Justin Hall, Othie Freeny, Kevin O’Brien and Tucker Van Dyke, defensive backs Jack Barnett, Alfred McQuirter and Shaq Tolbert, linebacker Ryan Gallagher, and offensive linemen Gerald McDonough, Nolan Jones, Cale Brown, Darius Javan and Kenny McClain.
Sophomore running back Marqus Burrell led all rushers with 121 yards and a touchdown on 26 carries for the Black Knights while freshman quarterback Brady Miller completed 11 of 18 for 100 yards and two touchdowns. Van Dyke and Kevin O’Brien led the team in receiving with Van Dyke hauling in four passes for 20 yards while O’Brien gain 45 yards receiving.
On the defensive side of the ball, Tamburri had a game-high 15 tackles and came up with the biggest stop of the season blocking Navy’s (5-2, 4-2 CSFL) potential game-tying extra point with 3:29 left in the game. Fellow Sophomore Tanner Andrews recorded two interceptions, bringing his season-total to six. Sophomore Nathan Lopez and Tolbert also recorded interceptions for Army. Jerzerick’s game-ending sack was the only one for the Black Knights, who came into the Star Game leading the CSFL in that category with 40 and had the league-leader in Choi who had 11.5 in the first six games.

Farmer Jerry Harris of Church Creek, Md., poses with his dogs Maggie and Bo next to a water empoundment created for waterfowl habitat on Harris's property on March 11, 2014. With financial assistance from the state of Maryland, Ducks Unlimited and North American Wetlands Conservation Act Grants (NAWCA), Harris built berms to create a series of separate water impoundments for use by waterfowl across 80 acres of the 230-acre farm. “We had a lot of ducks out here and (Maryland Department of Natural Resources) thought this would be a good opportunity,” said Harris, who acquired the farm roughly 20 years prior. “As a hunter I think we have a good obligation to put something back.” (Photo by Steve Droter/Chesapeake Bay Program)

In scratching out a 64-61 win over Maryland Eastern Shore on Saturday evening at the HU Convocation Center, the Hampton University men's basketball team snapped its six-game losing streak.
The Pirates improved to 9-14 overall and 5-5 in the MEAC on the season.
Head coach Edward Joyner Jr. won his 91st career game in the process, becoming the program's all-time winningest Div. I coach – surpassing Steve Merfeld.
Guard Reginald Johnson registered his second straight 20-point game, leading all Pirate scorers with 21 points on 7-for-15 shooting. Guard/forward Dwight Meikle added 16 points and a team-high 11 rebounds for his fourth double-double of the season.
Guard Deron Powers added 11 points and four assists.
The Pirates shot 44.2 percent (23-for-52) from the floor – thanks in large part to a 14-for-25 effort (56.0 percent) in the second half. Hampton scored 25 points off of 16 UMES turnovers, and Hampton held a 26-22 edge in points in the paint.
A layup from Devin Martin with 2:14 left in the game tied the contest at 58-58, before Johnson answered with 1:11 left by converting an acrobatic 3-point play to put the Pirates up 61-58. Dominique Elliott cut that lead to 61-60 with a jumper with 55 seconds left.
But Meikle put his stamp on the game with 42 seconds left, finding space on the fast break before floating in the air, making it look as if he would finger-roll the ball into the hoop, before slamming the ball home with one hand to give the Pirates a 63-60 lead.
The two teams traded free throws down the stretch, but Martin missed both of his 3-pointers in the closing moments to hand the Pirates the hard-fought win.
The UMES led much of the night, though – particularly in the first half. The Hawks opened the game with six straight – thanks to back-to-back 3-pointers from Ryan Andino – before the Pirates cut the lead to 6-5 on a jumper in the paint from junior forward Jervon Pressley.
The Hawks opened the game back up, taking a 22-10 lead at the 8:37 mark after a 3-pointer from Martin. A dunk from Michael Myers and a layup from Devon Walker gave UMES a 29-16 lead with 2:39 left in the half.
But Hampton scored the last seven points of the frame – a jumper and 3-pointer from Meikle and a jumper from Powers – to cut UMES' lead to 29-23 at the break.
That momentum carried into the second half, as the Pirates cut UMES' lead to one on three separate occasions before taking their first lead of the night on a Johnson layup with 15:12 left – putting Hampton up 36-35.
Johnson then hit a trey to put the Pirates up 39-35 at the 13:32 mark.
Johnson added a layup with 13:14 remaining to give the Pirates a 41-37 lead, before UMES went on a 10-1 run to take a 47-42 lead with 10:39 left to play after a dunk from Elliott. Elliott later gave the UMES a 53-48 lead at the 6:29 mark with a free throw.
After a pair of Martin free throws gave the Hawks a 55-50 lead, the Pirates went on a 7-0 spurt, taking a 57-55 lead with 3:13 left to play after a jumper from Powers.

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder met with members of the North Charleston Police Department, Charleston Farms Community, and a program participant in the department's innovative program S.T.A.N.D. (Stop and Take A New Direction).
Attorney General Holder heard first hand how the program, which focused on not just arresting low level narcotics dealers with little or no prior criminal history but to go a step further and help those involved in the activity change their lives for the better, has changed the lives of several participants and improved the quality of life in the neighborhood. AG Holder praised the department for "thinking outside of the box" in crime reduction strategies and for its community involvement.
Of the original eight (8) participants accepted in to the program, four completed the program, maintain full time employment and continue to be productive citizens. The project was broadcast nationwide last year on Dateline NBC.

Gwinnett Technical College Horticulture Program's Learning Garden in Lawrenceville, GA, on Friday, Mar. 20, 2015. The field allows students to demonstrate a variety growing techniques. All the plants are edible produce and allows culinary students to learn the value of farm fresh produce resulting in future Farm to Table practices that emphasize the partnership between the two programs. Horticulture students will plan and schedule plantings to meet the needs of upcoming menus. Culinary students will harvest the produce they will prepare that day. USDA photo by Lance Cheung.
ORLANDO, Florida -
Boom.
The shotgun blast reverberates through the phone receiver. Breathless seconds pass before an eerily calm voice cuts through the ringing ear pressed against the other line.
“I just fired a round into the ceiling,” says the voice in a grave, matter-of-fact tone. “You have five minutes to tell me why the next one shouldn’t go through my skull.”
This harrowing crisis is one of dozens of roleplaying scenarios that 27 students assigned to the 143rd Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) encountered during an Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) and Ask, Care, Escort – Suicide Intervention (ACE-SI) workshop conducted April 15-17, 2016, in Orlando, Fla.
“ASIST gives students the fundamental tools, knowledge and resources to help save the life an individual contemplating suicide,” said Gerald Felder, suicide program manager, 143rd ESC. “This course teaches students how to identify people expressing suicidal thoughts and behaviors and take a proactive approach in providing immediate and compassionate care for them through hands-on training.”
Created by LivingWorks Education, a social enterprise dedicated to saving lives through the creation, development and delivery of innovative training experiences, ASIST has trained more than 1 million people throughout the world on how to apply scientifically tested tools and techniques to reduce the risks associated with suicide. The U.S. Army partnered with LivingWorks in 2009 to integrate ASIST training in the Army’s suicide prevention campaign.
“[ASIST] is more than just a series of dry presentations that explain why people shouldn’t kill themselves,” said Army Spc. Grace Lee, an ASIST student serving as a transportation management coordinator for the 520th Movement Control Team in Orlando. “It breaks the ‘death by PowerPoint’ mold by creating a caring and comfortable environment that encourages students to share their ideas and personal experiences … The ASIST instructors encourage us to address one another on a first name basis, [and] I feel this practice helps students speak freely among themselves by reducing the tensions associated with rank and status.”
“The foundational framework of ASIST assumes that anyone can save a life,” added Felder, a native of Birmingham, Ala. “The program’s proactive approach gives students the confidence to take action with the understanding that they should strive for proficiency rather than perfection. ASIST emphasizes this distinction to remind students that their training is equivalent to applying first aid to a wounded comrade, and that they should reach out to their chaplain, behavioral health specialist, chain-of-command or other experts with the same skill set and resources to provide long-term care.
The workshop’s interactive audio-visual presentations, small group discussions and roleplaying scenarios culminate into a versatile program that provides practical training for Army Reserve Soldiers beyond their military obligations.
“This is the second time I’ve taken this course,” said Lee, a Honolulu, Hawaii, native currently working as a nurse for a Florida Hospital women’s care clinic. “Shortly after I received my ASIST training certification, I applied my newfound skills and knowledge to help my patients … Taking this course again reinforces what I learned, especially on how to identify the subtle signs of suicide and what questions to ask when you suspect someone is thinking about taking his or her own life.”
Suicides in the Army ranks rose sharply from 45 in 2001 to 165 in 2012. Three years later, this all-time high dropped by nearly 20 percent. Felder partially attributes this decrease to the surge of Soldiers and Department of the Army Civilians who have participated in an ASIST workshop. He punctuates this correlation with recent suicide statistics within his command.
“The 143rd ESC sadly lost eight Soldiers to suicide last year,” said Felder. “Since Jan.1, 2016, only one Soldier in this command has committed suicide. Although one life lost to suicide is too many, the fact that the command reported nine suicidal threats that were averted through intervention tells me that the Soldiers, civilians and family members of this command are communicating with one another and using the plethora of suicide prevention resources available to them to include the training many have received through the ASIST program.”
Although an analysis of the specific contributions of ASIST to the Army’s declining suicide rate may prove difficult to measure, its personable approach and collaborative environment have given thousands of Soldiers the confidence to uphold the Army values founded on the basic yet essential moral principle that all life is precious.
“I lost my brother and nearly lost my husband to suicide,” said Lee. “If I had ASIST training during those dark days, I may have spared my family and me from immense pain and hardship. People tend to forget that suicide takes a heavy toll on the living as well … I highly encourage my fellow Soldiers to enroll in ASIST training immediately and actively participate in all the activities with an open mind.”

Eighth-grader Alexius Pierce made the go-ahead layup in the game's last minute, and junior Diamonne Harris hit four straight free throws in the final 10 seconds as the Syracuse Academy of Science held off Allegany-Limestone, 55-50, in a Class C girls basketball state semifinal at Hudson Valley Community College.
The Section III-champion Atoms (20-4) will play in the 8-year-old program's first state final at 4 p.m. Saturday against Section IX champion Millbrook.
"It feels unbelievable," said Harris, who led all scorers with 20 points. "We worked so hard - day after day - it was all worth it. It feels so good."
"We just willed our way (to the win), said senior leader Lyrik Jackson, who scored 14 points, grabbed eight rebounds and made five steals for the Atoms. "Coach said keep pushing. We didn't want to go home."
SAS, which trailed by six points at the half (32-26) sparked its second-half offense with a pressing defense that forced Allegany-Limestone into 22 turnovers and yielded a dozen steals.
The #SASAtoms also held Gators' star senior center Morgan Davis to 14 points, about five below her season's average. Morgan only had six in the second half.
"Amazing. Just amazing," said #SASCS head coach Reggie Pickard. "I'm still kind of dreaming - like are we here or not, you know? We're doing everything possible to win a championship. We've worked hard for eight years, and here we are."
The Atoms trailed by as many as eight points late in the second quarter but caught the Gators just two minutes into the third using a press that started paying off in turnovers.
"Our pressure has been the key for us all year," Pickard said. "We force turnovers, make the game kind of ugly.
I thought if we pressured a little more in the second half it would harder for them to get the ball to their bigs."
Allegany-Limestone, from Section VI near Olean, still led by two at the start of the fourth quarter, but SAS sophomore Xyel Bradford's 3-pointer put the Atoms ahead, 41-40, with just under 7 minutes left. Pierce hit another huge three with 2:30 left to play that gave SAS a 47-46 advantage.
But the Gators continued to make big baskets, too, and Allegany-Limestone had a 50-49 lead, and the ball, with just under a minute left to play.
On the in-bounds play, Harris dove for a steal and somehow got the ball to Pierce, who drove in for what would turn out to be the winning points, making it 51-50, Atoms.
The Gators began fouling, but Harris proved worthy against the pressure, hitting two sets for free throws in the final eight seconds.
"It was very nerve-wracking, but we do this all of the time in practice," she said. "I have to stay calm."
Allegany-Limestone coach Frank Martin said his team just couldn't quite hold it together in the final minutes against the SAS quickness.
"I'd love to have the last minute and a half back," he said. "We weren't as good as we needed to be to close this game out. We just weren't as good as we needed to be at the end."
The Atoms had a scare in the final seconds when Jackson took a shot to her head when she went down chasing a loose ball and an Allegany-Limestone player fell on top of her. She had to be helped off the court but was up and talking in the aftermath.
Harris said she hoped to go swimming in the hotel pool later in the day, but her coach wasn't hearing it.
No, no. We're not going to do any swimming," he said, laughing. "Too much muscle movement. They got mad at me last night because I took their phones from them. I'm doing that again tonight, too."
