The affected area is S. Dixie between Albain and E. Dunbar Rds.; the work is scheduled for Tuesday through Thursday.
Construction will begin Tuesday to rebuild a catch basin on southbound S. Dixie Hwy. (M-125) that will reduce southbound traffic to one lane, the Monroe County Road Commissionhas announced.
A tile crew will be working on S. Dixie between Albain and E. Dunbar Rds. through Thursday, said Shawn Satterfield, a supervisor for the road commission. Weather permitting, the job should be finished by Thursday afternoon, she said.
S. Stony Creek Rd. — T& J, a tree-removal contractor, will remove trees on S. Stony Creek between Palmer and Shoemaker Rds. next week. The road will be restricted at certain locations using traffic regulators, she said. Full closures for short periods of time may be required as needed.
Palmer Rd. — T& J crews also will remove trees on Palmer between Oakville-Waltz and S. Stony Creek Rds. The road will be restricted at spot locations using traffic regulators and the road may be closed for short periods as needed, she said.
OAKLAND — Jarrett Jack had 30 points and 10 rebounds, David Lee added 25 points and 22 boards, and the Golden State Warriors rallied past the San Antonio Spurs 107-101 in overtime Friday night to snap a 16-game losing streak in the series.
Stephen Curry finished with 18 points and six assists to carry the short-sleeve-wearing Warriors from 13 points down in the fourth quarter. Golden State, also playing without center Andrew Bogut, hadn”t won against San Antonio since another overtime game at home — all the way back on Jan. 7, 2008.
Danny Green scored 20 points and Tim Duncan had 19 points and 18 rebounds for the NBA-leading Spurs, who had won five straight and 16 of 17 overall. San Antonio fell to 6-2 on its rodeo trip, which ends Sunday at Phoenix.
The Spurs seemed to take control between the third and fourth quarters, breaking away from a tie game with 13 straight points behind Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker. Both finished with 18 points, and both disappeared late.
The teams traded baskets for the final 6 minutes of regulation.
Lee”s driving layup put the Warriors ahead 90-89 with a little more than a minute to play in the fourth. That lead lasted only a few seconds, with Green banking a floater off the glass.
Curry came out of a timeout slashing through the lane and tossed a midair pass out to Jack through a crowd of defenders. Jack swished the 3-pointer with 7.3 seconds to play, pumping his right hand and flexing his muscles around midcourt after giving Golden State a 93-91 lead.
The rest of the celebration would have to wait.
Duncan took the inbounds pass on the other end from Ginobili, who knifed through the lane for a quick give-and-go and a tying layup. Jack missed a desperation shot, sending the game to overtime.
The energy remained rampant in the extra period, and so did the highlights. Curry”s long bounce pass just skipped past Ginobili and into the hands of Jack, whose reverse layup gave Golden State a 100-98 lead.
Jack followed with another long jumper, freezing Parker off the dribble to put the Warriors ahead by four with 56.5 seconds left. Green hit a 3-pointer before Parker missed a potential go-ahead layup. Lee grabbed the rebound and tossed the ball to Curry, whose two free throws put the Warriors ahead 104-101.
Duncan”s errant pass was stolen on the next possession to seal San Antonio”s loss. Jack hit a trio of free throws, and the Warriors finally came out on top against the Spurs.
Golden State was without Bogut, who sat out with back spasms and is out indefinitely. The 7-foot center has missed 43 of 55 games this season, most recovering from surgery on his left ankle.
The new-look Warriors still put to rest a staggering 16 straight losses against San Antonio. The Warriors wore their yellow short-sleeved jerseys complete with pinstriped shorts for the first time, and perhaps the look shook off the Spurs.
At the very least, they caused a stir on the court and around social media.
The first half played out in less mesmerizing fashion, with San Antonio setting its typical plodding pace. Both teams took seven-point leads during the first half, and each struggled to create separation.
The intensity finally picked up late in the third quarter when the home team delighted the announced crowd of 19,596 — Golden State”s 16th straight sellout — with some daring and dazzling efforts, starting with Curry”s bank shot after getting knocked down by Duncan to begin a three-point play.
Jack also surprised Parker from behind for a steal, forced a foul and made both free throws. He added a jumper that tied it at 67 before San Antonio regained its rhythm.
Ginobili twisted his way through the lane for a layup and a jumper as the Spurs scored 13 straight, including the first 12 points of the fourth. They went ahead 80-67 on Green”s 3-pointer with 8:55 to play.
Golden State answered with its own 13-0 run capped by a 3-pointer from Curry, whose swish came mere feet in front of jubilant owner Joe Lacob sitting courtside. Both waived to the fans roaring to their feet, setting the stage for the frantic finish.
NOTES: Spurs swingman Stephen Jackson dressed but did not play for undisclosed reasons. He played against the Clippers a night earlier, his first game back since his wife had a miscarriage.
Jackson had left the team in Chicago on Feb. 11. … The Warriors are also planning to wear the sleeved jerseys for home games against Houston on March 8 and Chicago on March 15. … The Spurs have won 28 in a row against the Warriors in San Antonio.

An officer-involved shooting took place outside of Walmart on Thursday morning, according to Chief of Public Safety Paul Schultz.
Sergeant Campbell, spokesperson for the Fort Morgan Police Department identified the suspect as 31-year-old Dustin Brian Montano from Sterling. Montano was wanted for a double-homicide that had taken place that morning in Albuquerque.
Although no citizens or officers were injured, Montano was shot multiple times after he made a "threatening gesture," according to Schultz. He was then airlifted to the Medical Center of the Rockies to receive treatment and he remains in critical condition.
Early Thursday morning, law enforcement agencies in Northeast Colorado were notified by law enforcement in New Mexico that Montano was an armed-and-dangerous suspect and was headed to the Morgan County area.
Montano was driving a stolen vehicle which was spotted outside of the Fort Morgan Walmart on Thursday morning by Morgan County Sheriff's deputies.
As the suspect came out of the store, he was approached by an array of law enforcement officers.
"The suspect made a threatening gesture to law enforcement and was shot by deputies," Schultz said. It was later revealed that Morgan County Sheriff Jim Crone and Undersheriff Dave Martin were the two officers who confronted and shot Montano, the department said.
According to the Albuquerque Police Department, a mother and her daughter were "violently murdered" Thursday in an apartment complex in downtown Albuquerque. Police responded to the double homicide at approximately 3 a.m.
Authorities in Albuquerque do not yet know if the suspect had any affiliation with the victims he killed or what his motives were for the homicides.
As Albuquerque law enforcement and detectives obtained more information, they determined that Montano was fleeing New Mexico and was on a quest to drive overnight to Northeast Colorado.
"We had troopers that were set up on Interstate 76 at various locations to see if they could figure out where he was," Colorado State Patrol Trooper Gary Cutler said. "We had reason to believe he was in the area and had a description of his vehicle."
The scene around Walmart and Burger King is now secure," Sergeant Kevin Campbell of the Fort Morgan Police Department said late Thursday morning. "The suspect was shot and there is no further threat to the public in the area."
The incident is currently under investigation by the Morgan County Major Crimes Task Force, which is comprised of law enforcement officers throughout Morgan County. Meanwhile, Albuquerque Police are still investigating the double-homicide.
Crone and Martin have been placed on administrative leave, per standard department policy. Lt. John Horton, who has served with the Morgan County Sheriff's Office since 1989, will take over duties of the sheriff. Horton said that this hasn't occurred in his 30 years with the office.

The film industry is currently in a state where it seems that no movie is too old to get a sequel. What we have for you today, however, is a special case. Thirty-four years after the release of the original movie was released, it seems that filmmakers are now getting interested in crafting a follow-up to the story told in Chariots of Fire... and it's resulting in two different sequels going through development. Interestingly, the main difference between the two in-the-works features is that one of them is playing up the lead character's Christianity.
The Hollywood Reporter has the scoop on the competing projects that will follow the events of Eric Liddell's life after what was previously seen in director Hugh Hudson's 1981 film. The two films are titled Absolute Surrender and The Last Race, with the former being the one that focuses more on Liddell's religion and relationship with god. Both are still making their way through the production stages, and we can presume the race is on to try and get to theaters first.
Absolute Surrender is being based on a screenplay written by Eric Eichinger and Howard Klausner, and will follow Eric Liddell as he follows in his parents' footsteps to become a Christian missionary in China. Unfortunately, aggression from the Japanese in 1941 made the country very dangerous to live in, and while Liddell's pregnant wife and family were able to safely escape to Canada, Liddell wasn't so lucky. He wound up being forced into an internment camp. and that's where he died.
The Last Race is expected to portray the same events, but there will be minimal focus on Eric Liddell's faith - largely because of where the movie is moving through development. The movie is largely a Chinese production, and the country's communist government has been promoting atheism for years. Hong Kong director Stephen Shin is both writing the script and helming the movie with Canadian filmmaker Michael Parker, and the movie is filming in both Britain and China. Unlike Absolute Surrender, which doesn't even have a director lined up just yet, The Last Race has Shakespeare In Love star Joseph Fiennes playing the lead role in the movie.
It's interesting that there are two competing sequels being made for Chariots of Fire, but it's also not exactly rare for dueling projects to develop like this. It was only a few years ago that Capote and Infamous were both telling the big screen story of Truman Capote, and even more recent than that was the fairy tale battle between Snow White and the Huntsman and Mirror Mirror. It's worth noting that both of these cases saw only one title find tremendous success, with the other being largely forgotten. We'll wait and see what history has to say about Absolute Surrender and The Last Race.
The U.N. peacekeeping forces, who received the Nobel Peace Prize on Saturday, could hand the nations of the world a bill for services rendered totaling nearly $1 billion in unpaid U.N. dues.
"In some ways it's embarrassing because it forces me to say publicly that the United States still owes the United Nations almost $350 million."
U.N. member nations owe the world body $450.1 million in regular dues; $360.1 million in dues for the Lebanon, Middle East and Iran-Iraq peacekeeping forces; and $168.9 million in unpaid contributions to the Cyprus peacekeeping force.
The Cyprus force is supposed to be financed through voluntary contributions the United Nations uses to reimburse the participating nations - Australia, Austria, Britain, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Ireland and Sweden.
Tyrrell Hatton will hope for a better time of things this week as he prepares to tee it up at the Omega Dubai Desert Classic at the Emirates Golf Club.
Hatton, 27, missed the cut in last week’s Abu Dhabi Golf Championship, despite an encouraging second round where he nearly clawed it back.
Last season, Hatton finished third in the Dubai Desert Classic, three shots behind eventual winner Haotong Li.
This year’s edition represents the 30th anniversary of the event, with the European Tour first coming to the Middle East in 1989.
Hatton faces a formidable field with Li, Sergio Garcia, Tommy Fleetwood, Ian Poulter and USA’s Bryson DeChambeau amongst his rivals at the prestigious tour event on the famed Emirates Golf Club layout.
WACO, Texas (KWTX) If any of the Baylor Lady Bears didn't know where Abilene, Texas was located, head coach Kim Mulkey used a song produced in 1963 to make sure they do now.
The Lady Bears (31-1) welcome in the Southland Conference champion Abilene Christian Wildcats to the Ferrell Center in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament Saturday at 5 p.m.
"I played the music, Abilene, Abilene," Mulkey said, singing the city name twice. "Sheryl Crow has a song about Abilene, doesn't she? Y'all don't know these things. I can tell by the look on your faces. That disappoints me because I think y'all are well-rounded media people. Go listen to those songs, and then before we leave, tell me who sang the song."
While Mulkey enjoys George Hamilton IV's song, it's obvious the players enjoy more contemporary music.
"She sings it over and over," senior center Kalani Brown said. "So, it does get a little...I don't want to say."
Per usual this season, junior forward Lauren Cox assisted Brown to the desired outcome. Only this time, in quote form.
"She gets stuck on that one song, and it's just non-stop," Cox said.
"Throughout the whole practice," Brown said.
The Lady Bears begin the NCAA Tournament as the No. 1 overall seed for the third time in program history, joining the 2011-12 and 2012-13 teams. It'll be the 16th straight season that Mulkey and the Lady Bears extend their season beyond the conference tournament.
Baylor and Abilene Christian (23-9) have faced off just once, with the Lady Bears winning 79-34 in 2016.
Only five times this season have the Lady Bears won by less than 10 points.
"We do recognize we're one of the top teams when the season starts, Mulkey said. "We realize we're going to get everyone's best shot. We realize that and we embrace that. That's why these players came to Baylor. That doesn't mean we prepare any differently."
The post duo of Brown and Cox have been the talk of the women's college basketball world, and for good reason, having been named All-Big 12 First Team members.
They also joined teammate DiDi Richards on the Big 12 All-Defensive Team, which is something that had never been done before.
Baylor ranks in the top 10 in 14 statistical categories, including a nation-best mark in rebounds per game (33.0), rebound margin (+16.8) and field-goal percentage defense (31.2%).
The Baylor-Abilene Christian winner will advance to play the winner of North Carolina-California in the second round, which will also be played at the Ferrell Center.
Maximus the Dogimus embarked on his Roman adventure during the summer of 2006. Packed in his doggy backpack were his city guides, liver treats, doggy water, and his blue poop scoop bags (even in Italy, Maximus knows that cleanliness is next to Roman godliness). Maximus is on a mission ? a doggy mission. He's now 5 years old and all grown into his sturdy ? albeit small ? Shih-Tzu frame. Max's mission is to stand in the centuries-old arena where gladiatorial combats were staged during the glory days of ancient Rome and where his namesake battled to victory on the silver screen.
Academics and athleticism combine to make this week?s Valley Sun All-Star an amazing example of the achievements of the youth of this community. Harrison Thai, 13, a student at Rosemont Middle School, is this week?s All Star. He was nominated by Kim Beattie and other staff at La Cañada?s YMCA of the Foothills. ?This young man [Thai] is an outstanding swimmer and wonderful teammate,? Beattie said. Thai is the son of Charlene and Jack Thai of La Cañada. He has a sister, Emily, 16, a junior at Crescenta Valley High School.
She’s the center of attention as a saber soloist and captain of the high school’s color guard, but off the platform, she’s all about helping others. This week’s Valley Sun All-Star is La Cañada High School senior Rebecca Grosch. Grosch was nominated for the honor by Emily Toffelmire, a counselor at La Cañada High School. Toffelmire said she admires Grosch for her abilities to work with a diverse group of students, with support and patience. Grosch is the daughter of Ann and Tom Grosch of La Cañada.
How Do You Tell A Story With Data Visualization?
Stories are the common currency of humanity. Humans have used storytelling for thousands of years to share our history, to pass on and preserve information and to communicate important messages.
When reality becomes complicated, stories offer the form, the chronology, and the simplicity that audiences need. Storytelling gives you the chance to build examples and experiences into your message and makes your message more relatable.
The world of business has become increasingly data-driven, and many of us now work with data on a daily basis. Communicating data clearly and impactfully has become a top priority for many employees.
Whether you know your audience, or you share your work with a largely unknown audience, all of us can develop better data storytelling skills.
As with verbal storytelling, it’s important to consider how you can guide your audience from one point or argument to the next. This is particularly valuable when the message you’re sharing unfolds chronologically, when it involves a combination of a broad overview and granular detail, or when the message has multiple separate components.
I have previously written about simplicity in data visualization and the following examples build on that concept while also showing ways to build greater depth in your analysis and more detail in your findings.
It’s often best to tell a story chronologically – from beginning to the end, spanning the course of days, weeks, years or centuries. You can use this approach when your data spans a certain amount of time and contains trends, changes, outliers or other interesting details.
When you look at the way Jed Eastman visualized data about the melting arctic ice cap, you notice that the choice of a line chart allows him to not just show the data, but to incorporate a number of story points along the way.
Jed’s story points follow the same visual pattern as the line chart. It trends down over time, reinforcing what the data shows. He takes his audience on a short but poignant journey to show that despite a number of initiatives at a global level, the situation is still worsening and becoming more urgent.
Using annotations in a line chart lets you guide your readers through the information and builds the overall story and message step by step.
Data visualization is often used to communicate performance against certain indicators. A common approach is to provide a high-level overview first before sharing more detailed information. Effectively, it’s the data visualization equivalent of the executive summary and the detailed report.
Providing your audience with a summary in visual or number form, or a combination of the two, allows you to set the scene and lets them gain a general understanding of the situation or topic.
In the following example, Jeff Shaffer created a dashboard showing London bus safety performance.
Jeff starts with a single stacked bar chart to show how many of the incidents involving London’s buses led to injury versus those that didn’t cause injury. He then provides four key figures to give his audience a sense of the magnitude.
By providing more detailed information, Jeff helps me understand the numbers in context. The overall incident numbers have declined but the proportion of injuries has increased.
The detailed charts in his dashboard give Jeff’s audience the chance to make sense of the numbers, see how incident rates changed over time and get a better understanding of the types of incidents reported.
Jeff’s story about the performance of London’s buses unfolds from top to bottom, from the summary level to the detail.
With some topics, your story won’t have a ‘conclusion’, as such. Some won’t feature a call to action and some won’t reveal groundbreaking insights. Sometimes your mission is simply to educate your audience on an unfamiliar topic.
