The three-year, three-phase project is funded in partnership with the Capital Improvement Board as part of the Pacers' 25-year extension of their lease.

INDIANAPOLIS Bankers Life Fieldhouse is closed for the summer for phase two of a $360 million renovation. Most of the work right now is demolition to make way for major improvements to the fan experience.

"It breaks my heart a little bit, said Mel Raines, Pacers Sports & Entertainment Executive Vice President for Corporate Communications, Community Engagement, and Facility Operations. My job is to make sure this place is clean and perfect for all of our fans who come to events. I know it's going to be better when it's done. But this part of demo is just amazing to watch how quickly it's going and how much it's going to transform the building."

Raines oversees the massive project, with work going 20 hours a day, seven days a week. She gave 13News a hard hat tour of the Fieldhouse Wednesday afternoon, with power tools and machinery raising a racket throughout the building. The three-year, three-phase project is funded in partnership with the Capital Improvement Board as part of the Pacers' 25-year extension of their lease on the Fieldhouse.

"It's got great bones, but it needed a little bit of love in some areas, said Raines. The fans of today's generation really want different experiences than they did in 1999, and we wanted to create that. When we're done, we'll have premium for everybody.

Phase one was completed in January, which included a new giant video scoreboard and new clubs and seating on the event level.

The Pacers missing the NBA playoffs allowed phase two to begin earlier than expected. The Indiana Fever have moved their games to Indiana Farmers Coliseum for the rest of the season.

Phase two focuses on the mid-level and entry pavilion. Mid-level seating, suites, concourses, concessions, and clubs will be brand new. More fans in more areas will be able to see the action even when they are not in their seats.

When fans return to the Fieldhouse in October, they'll see a huge change in the entry pavilion, with an expanded view right into the playing bowl from the moment they walk in the door. The classic box office is gone from the pavilion to provide a north entrance and view to the new outdoor plaza under construction.

"You can see this is really reimagining the Fieldhouse that we've all known and loved since 1999 into a new building."

Phase three next summer takes the renovations up to the balcony to complete the project inside and out by the fall of 2022.

MANITOWOC After a few weeks of slow travel on a barge through the Great Lakes, the St. Lawrence Seaway and into the Atlantic Ocean, Big Blue as the crane built in Manitowoc is known on social media, has made it home.

The $55 million crane arrived at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine, near the border of New Hampshire in one piece on Tuesday.

The crane, able to lift140 tons, was manufactured by Konecranes in Manitowoc, and is able to lift twice the weight of current cranes in the Naval yard, though at 195 feet isnt twice as big as those machines.

Big Blue extends heavy lifting capability to all the dry docks at the shipyard, according to Brendan Goodwin, head of the branch lifting and handling department. It will allow an increase in the scope of submarine overhaul and modernization work done at the site.

Construction of the crane was about a year-long process in Manitowoc and was made possible with the help of a $3.75 million grant from the Wisconsin Department of Transportations Harbor Assistance Program. Improvements allowed Konecranes and Broadwind Heavy Fabrications to assemble, test and transfer the larger cranes. More such contracts are expected to come overthe next decade.

These harbor improvements provide double benefits, Gov. Tony Evers said in a news release. The grant helped create new highly-skilled jobs in Wisconsin. It also helped contain transportation costs, making future manufacturing contracts even more attractive.

The governor said the grant connects the dots between quality transportation infrastructure, the success of local business and building strong communities.

The crane is part of the Navys multi-billion dollar plan to refurbish four public shipyards with modernized equipment, improved workflow and upgraded dry docks and facilities.

Global events have placed a great demand on our submarine fleet, Commander of the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard Capt. Daniel Ettlich said in a news release. The new portal crane allows the shipyard to support service life-extension work, which increased the number of submarines available for the Navy during this critical time.

According to a tweet published by the French Defence Procurement Agency (DGA) on June 11, 2021,the French firm Zodiac Milipro delivered three Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) to the DGA for the French Navy. This delivery is a part of a contract signed in 2020 of 13 RIB, named EDO by the Navy.Follow Navy Recognition on Google News at this link

Rigid Inflatable Boat (Picture source: Twitter account of Zodiac Milpro)

Zodiac Milpro is a world leader in the manufacture of inflatable boats and RIBS for the military and professional market. Present in France, Spain, Canada, USA, Australia, UK, Italy, and Singapore, Zodiac Milpro has a team of 400 employees worldwide and delivers a turnover of 60m Euros.

The main characteristics of an EDO are a length of 7m, a width of 2,6 m, and a displacement full load of 3,4 tons. The boat can carry a total of 14 people including a crew and a response team. She can reach a maximum speed of 30 knots.

The first three boats will be deployed aboard the frigate La Fayette and the amphibious assault ship Mistral.

La Fayette is a second-line multi-mission stealth frigate of the French Navy (Marine Nationale). She is the second French vessel named after the 18th-century general Marquis de Lafayette. She is the lead ship of the class, which is also used by the Royal Saudi Navy.

The frigate is scheduled to complete a major life extension upgrade by 2023 and to remain in service until 2031.

That aspiration might also be challenged by the age of the submarines, with the oldest, Victoria, due to reach the end of its planned service life next year. A life-extension program costing roughly $1.5 billion would be required to keep the class active into the late 2030s or early 2040s. While that may not sound such a lot, its a significant figure in a country where annual defense spending for 2019-20 was estimated at around $26.5 billion, total. The life-extension program would equate to more than 5 percent of the entire defense budget.

It wouldnt be altogether surprising if the Canadian government decides the funds for submarine life-extension could be better spent elsewhere. Regardless, Canada has already invested more than a billion dollars in the submarines in the past 20 years, with very little return so far. Submarines are also not the only area where Canada is struggling to modernize, with the saga of acquiring new fighter jets another prominent big-ticket example.

The RCNs requirement for a submarine of any kind is meanwhile clear, with the strategic importance of the nearby Arctic region steadily growing and with highly advanced Russian submarines increasingly active in the North Atlantic. The result has been a revival of submarine and anti-submarine warfare across NATO, something that Canada is keenly aware of. That said, just four submarines for a country like Canada with maritime interests in the Atlantic, the Pacific, and the Arctic, as well as responsibilities as part of NATO, is an extremely small force even if they do all work.

That Ottawa is willing to invest in high-end naval capabilities is clear by looking at its ambitious next-generation frigates, based on the British Type 26 design, which will be among the most heavily armed warships of their size.

It remains to be seen whether Canada will opt to persist with its trouble-prone Victoria class or if it will decide to invest in a new design offering better reliability and capabilities, although, so far, there doesnt appear to be any active movements toward acquiring new submarines. Once the RCN finally has three subs back in regular service, the defense ministry might be better able to make a decision on that front.

Canadian Submarine Bedeviled By Accidents For A Decade Is Finally Back In The Water - The Drive

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy signed legislation Wednesday to extend services that were interrupted by the pandemic for hundreds of special-needs students who would have aged out of the education system.

Murphy made the announcement at his daily coronavirus briefing, to the relief of special-needs advocates who feared the bill was in jeopardy. Murphy said as many as 8,700 students could be impacted over the next three school years.

Students who reach 21 would no longer have been eligible for services after June 30 without the extension. Advocates say special education students were especially hurt by learning loss during the pandemic and need the one-year extension to make up for time missed.

The extension could cost up to $600 million over three years, though final figures must be determined, Murphy said. The state plans to use federal stimulus aid to pay for it, he said. New Jersey will get more than $2.5 billion from the coronavirus relief package to address learning loss.

This is one of the things that we take the step, regardless of the price tag, Murphy said. It is absolutely without question and hesitation the right thing to do.

Pennsylvania lawmakers are considering a similar measure.

This bill is about hope and a belief that all children should have the opportunity to achieve their potential, said State Sen. Dawn Marie Addiego (D. Burlington), the bills cosponsor.

Districts weeks ago began developing learning plans for special-needs students for the 2021-2022 school year. The new law would extend services for students with disabilities through the 2022-23 school year.

Every student deserves a fair and equitable opportunity to a quality education, including young people with disabilities, Senate President Stephen Sweeney (D. Gloucester) said in a statement. They lost more than others when the classrooms and community programs closed their doors for most of the year.

The extension is not automatic and not all eligible students are expected to participate in additional learning, said Mercedes Witowsky, executive director of the New Jersey Council on Developmental Disabilities. Districts make the final decision along with child study teams that include parents.

Public school districts are required to provide students with disabilities with an education based on an Individualized Education Plan, or IEP, through the school year in which they turn 21.

Because of the pandemic, many students missed out on transition programs offered during their last three years of school that teach life and job skills. Most of those services were halted or limited.

In a movement pushed by Laura Colnes, a South Jersey mother with a special-needs son, advocates spearheaded the extension bill and won bipartisan support. Colnes is pursuing legal action to keep her son, Sammy, 21, who has autism, in school.

This is a great victory for students, Colnes said. I just hope that districts will do the right thing and give students the year that they didnt have. "

With the futures of hundreds of families lying in the balance today, government is holding out hope that a solution to restart the Terra Nova project can still be found.

Energy Minister Andrew Parsons told the House of Assembly that he wrote the project partners as late as this morning to re-enforce the importance of getting Terra Nova back online.

He says he still believes that the provinces roughly half-a-billion-dollar investment, in addition to interest from other private players, should be enough to at least advance the talks and stave off abandonment.

But Parsons says they must be down to the wire on a decision, noting the window is quickly closing on the viability of asset life extension.

Meanwhile, Speaker Derek Bennett led off todays sitting with a gentle reminder to keep things civil in the House, following yesterdays comments by Premier Andrew Furey that were deemed offensive by the Opposition.

While the Speaker didnt name names, Furey acknowledged it may have been directed toward him and others during testy exchanges in the House yesterday.

Furey says hes only human, and chalked it all up to the learning curve as a relatively new MHA, but also credited the Opposition for their passion and causing him to, quote, bite on the bait.
