Maharashtra Election Results 2024: BJP's Historic Victory Driven By Ladki Bahin Yojana, Hindu Unity Slogans, And RSS MobilisationBalchem Corporation Announces DividendWhile the rest of the Notre Dame community figures out whether it's worth paying four figures for a ticket to the College Football Playoff first-round home game against Indiana, the men's basketball team continues to figure out how to survive without Markus Burton. Notre Dame (5-5) hosts its next-to-last nonconference game Wednesday night against Dartmouth (4-4), which plays its sixth contest of a seven-game road trip. The Fighting Irish took a promising step -- and snapped a five-game losing streak -- on Saturday by edging Syracuse 69-64 in their ACC opener. "We needed to be in a close game and we needed to win a close game so our guys can build some belief back," head coach Micah Shrewsberry said. "We can't take any steps back on Wednesday." Without Burton -- the stat sheet-stuffing sophomore point guard who injured the medial collateral ligament in his knee Nov. 26 against Rutgers -- the Irish are struggling to find someone to run the offense, as evidenced by their seven assists versus 15 turnovers against Syracuse. At the same time, players are filling the scoring void. Braeden Shrewsberry poured in a career-high-tying 25 points versus the Orange while hitting 6 of 11 3-point attempts. Tae Davis averaged 12.4 points and 7.2 shots per game when Burton was healthy, but he has upped his mean production to 16.6 points and 12.2 shots in the past five games. Micah Shrewsberry, though, prefers to measure progress on a possession-by-possession basis. "Just the toughness," he said. "There have been times when we haven't gotten the key stop. We haven't gotten the bucket when we quite need it. It gets deflating sometimes." Dartmouth knows that feeling. On Sunday, the Big Green took a one-point lead with 4:03 left in overtime at UIC -- and then failed to score on their final six possessions to suffer a 69-68 loss. The Big Green, who haven't posted a winning season since 1998-99, believe whole-heartedly in launching 3-pointers as they take 48 percent of their shots from behind the arc. Senior Cade Haskins (13.6 ppg) has hit a team-high 28 of 68 3-pointers this season, though fellow senior Ryan Cornish stacks up as the team's top scorer (14.3 ppg), passer (3.0 assists per game) and defender (2.3 steals per game). In its only previous game against a power-conference opponent, Dartmouth upset Boston College 88-83 on Nov. 29. --Field Level Media
CREEDE HINSHAW: 'Death can hold no bitterness for the soul that loves'
An abandoned runway at Syracuse Hancock International Airport (SYR) is about to get a new lease on life, following Micron Technologies' plans to use the area for a parking lot. A new life for runway 6/24 Syracuse International Airport is located five miles from the city's downtown core and is currently operated by the Syracuse Regional Airport Authority. The airport has two active runways: 10/28 (9,003 feet) and 15/33 (7,500 feet). However, a third was abandoned over five decades ago and has never been covered ( runway 6/24). Micron Technology Inc. is planning to build a new large semiconductor plant in the neighboring area of Clay. During construction, hundreds of staff will need parking space. Micron plans to use shuttle buses to transport construction workers between the airport runway parking lot and White Pine Commerce Park, where their factory is being developed. They have signed a lease for the runway for up to five years. Micon Technology, which manufactures memory chips, announced that it had selected the area of Clay for a semiconductor fabrication facility. The development is expected to cost up to $100 billion and establish around 50,000 jobs over a 20-year lifespan. With such development, the airport expects cargo traffic to increase by almost triple. In total, over 16 commercial airports serve the state. Have you heard the Simple Flying podcast recently? Preparing for increased traffic volumes at SYR Syracuse Hancock International Airport is already planning for increased traffic, with a long-term plan to expand the current airport terminal and develop a larger parking garage. Micron intends to commence construction on its 1,400-acre site on Caughdenoy Road and Route 31 next year. Using the abandoned runway will add around 1,700 to 2,000 extra parking spaces for construction workers. To ensure efficiency of use for the abandoned runway, Micron will be paying for parking stripes to be painted on the runway and, as already noted, will provide shuttle buses to and from the location during construction. The old runway is one of three at the airport and extends to 5,500 feet. It was built by the United States Army Air Forces in 1942 and, during World War II, was also a storage base for the B-17 and B-24 bombers . It was eventually retired when the city took possession of the airport, and the area was being intersected by Interstate 81. Two of the most notable aircraft in the World War II era.
