“There were several other cities that were interested,” Silver said. “We try over time to take care of all the cities that do want to have an All-Star game. I think it becomes a function of timing. I think for some of the other cities that were building, some of the refurbishments that are planned had not been completed yet, had not been finalized in terms of financing so the timing just didn’t work out. It’s really more a function of scheduling.”The United Center opened in August 1994. But it has been undergoing a bit of a transformation in recent years.The biggest change is the construction of an addition adjacent to the arena. It houses offices as well as a Bulls and Blackhawks team store and concessions.The Bulls moved into a new practice facility across the street a few years ago, and the Blackhawks will be moving into a new one nearby in a few weeks.The 10,000-seat Wintrust Arena that just opened a few miles away on the city’s Near South Side will host some All-Star events as will Navy Pier.“We’re excited not just holding a basketball game, but of hosting the world because now the NBA has gone from … an American game held here in the United States to a world event,” Emanuel said.The mayor has pushed hard to land high-profile events such as the NFL and NHL drafts in recent years. But this will be the first major All-Star game in the city since Major League Baseball held its Midsummer Classic on the South Side in 2003. The NHL last had it in Chicago in 1991.Silver isn’t concerned about having the All-Star game in a cold-weather city. Most events are indoors, though he acknowledged snow can disrupt air travel.When Jordan put on his show in 1988, Silver was just a law student at the University of Chicago, sitting in an upper level at the Stadium.He figures to have a better view this time.

Silver, Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Bulls executives Michael Reinsdorf and John Paxson were on hand Friday, Nov. 10 for the announcement on the United Center floor. APCHICAGO — For the NBA, Chicago was a slam dunk to host the 2020 All-Star game.The city will host the showcase event for the first time since 1988, when Michael Jordan took off from the foul line in an epic dunk contest and delivered an MVP performance in the game.ADVERTISEMENT “We’ve been going for so many years,” Michael Reinsdorf said. “At the end of the day, I tried to explain it to my dad. I don’t think he’s been to an (NBA) All-Star game since 1988. I tried to explain to him the difference now than what it was like when we hosted last. It’s just such a great impact to the city.”There was some thought that the 2019, 2020 and 2021 All-Star games would go to teams with new arenas. Golden State, Sacramento, Milwaukee and Detroit have all either recently constructed new homes or have one being built.But the schedule also got thrown off a bit after North Carolina passed a law restricting the rights of LGBT people.

Five armed men on Sunday morning attacked the offices of the Daily Observer on the corner of Benson and MacDonald Street and made away with the external unit of a 24,000 BTU (British thermal unit), air-conditioner. There were no injuries to the two security officers on duty. The two officers on duty, both of whom preferred not to be named, said the robbers came in an unmarked pickup truck, armed with two AK-47 rifles and a piece of metal that resembled a crow bar. “It was about 3:15 in the morning when the pick-up arrived and two men got down at the street corner and began to talk to each other,” the first security officer explained. The street, According to him, was pitch dark. While he and his colleague went on their regular patrol of the building perimeter, they heard a loud noise, indicating that someone was forcibly removing something. “We rushed towards where the noise came from, only to be confronted by two men in masks, armed with their AK-47s and a long iron,” said the first officer.He said the two masked men ordered them to give them the keys to the Observer building.“We explained that our duty was only to guard the building, but we did not have the key,” he said. “By now my legs and hands were trembling in fear of the armed robbers,” the second security officer said.According to him, the two armed robbers ordered them to kneel, while the three others busied themselves removing the air conditioning unit that was braced on the wall on the Benson Street side of the building. “In fact, they knocked off the latch that held a larger air-condition unit in place (on the same side), but suddenly, we heard noise coming towards the area and that is how we heard them calling on each other to leave.The five men, according to the security guards, rushed to the unmarked pick-up truck and sped off down McDonald Street, toward Broad Street, with the stolen item. The security guards said they immediately contacted their boss Prince Seakor, manager of Kapeta Security, the firm hired to guard the premises, and later the Metro One Police Depot on Center Street. The only LNP officer on duty there, told Seakor that he was alone on duty and that the LNP would provide the needed support at the appropriate time. The LNP officers accordingly visited the crime scene later that morning, and said investigations would commence any time shortly.Share this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) read more

World Bank Group Country Director, Ms. LeshchenkoThe World Bank Board of Executive Directors yesterday approved an International Development Association (IDA) credit financing of US$29 million for the Liberia Southeastern Corridor Road Asset Management Project (SECRAMP).The project will support the Government’s effort to enhance road connectivity for residents living along selected sections of the Ganta-to-Zwedru Road corridor, and to improve institutional capacity to manage the road sector.IDA will also provide a US$48 million Payment Guarantee which will leverage additional US$60 million from the private sector.The SECRAMP will be co-financed by a US$24 million Liberia Reconstruction Trust Fund (LRTF) grant contribution from the European Union (EU), United Kingdom (DfID) and Germany (KfW). Recently, KfW and DfID provided additional grants of US$16 million and US$6 million respectively.The Government of Liberia will make available US$24 million through the National Road Fund.The SECRAMP supports the Government’s Pro-Poor Agenda for Prosperity and Development (PAPD) through the development of road infrastructure to support economic transformation necessary to sustain growth and reduce poverty.The project will also ensure the establishment of an environment conducive to commercial agriculture, forestry, fisheries, and rural development; promoting the development of micro, small, and medium enterprises; and improving access to markets.“This project will bring relief to Liberians in accessing social services and advancing economic development, especially to the people of the southeastern region who are most of the time isolated from the rest of the country due to poor road connectivity,” said Larisa Leshchenko, World Bank Liberia Country Manager.About 471,000 project beneficiaries are targeted including residents, businesses, and transport service companies located along the rehabilitated corridor and in adjacent areas that will benefit from access to a climate-resilient all-weather paved road.These beneficiaries will experience substantial cost reductions, shorter transport times, and all-year access to services and markets. The project implementation will generate local employment for mostly unskilled laborers, and on-the-job training opportunities for construction workers at a variety of skill levels.“The project, the first of its kind in IDA’s portfolio, deploys a combination of IDA Credit, IDA Guarantees, and Grant resources to leverage private financing for a road Public Private Partnership (PPP) in an affordable and fiscally sustainable manner,” said Co-Task Team Leaders Kulwinder Singh Rao and Satheesh Kumar Sundararajan.The Ministry of Public Works (MPW) and Infrastructure Implementation Unit (IIU) will benefit from the project interventions through capacity building, support to the IIU and Road Agency (under MPW), and the institutional reform activities, which will help clarify mandates and improve their effectiveness. Local non-governmental organizations (NGO) will receive support to improve the project’s capacity to mitigate sexual exploitation and abuse (SEA) risks.Building on Output and Performance-Based Road Contracts, SECRAMP will incorporate a Special Purpose Vehicle for the improvement and maintenance of a minimum of 100 km of the Ganta-Zwedru Road Corridor (focusing principally on the Ganta-Tappita section) through a 15-year concession PPP Contract to the private sector.Meanwhile, the World Bank’s International Development Association (IDA), established in 1960, and helps the world’s poorest countries by providing grants and low to zero-interest loans for projects and programs that boost economic growth, reduce poverty, and improve poor people’s lives.IDA is one of the largest sources of assistance for the world’s 77 poorest countries, 39 of which are in Africa.

WOODLAND HILLS An Orange County real estate investment firm has paid more than $50 million for the Arbors at Warner Center, a 12-building apartment complex, and will invest several millions more in an extensive renovation, officials said Tuesday. The price paid by Real Estate Partners Inc. to Gateway Arbors LLC works out to about $200,000 per unit. The 250-unit complex spans 6.69 acres between Victory Boulevard and Erwin Street and Canoga and Owensmouth avenues. Thomas E. Thompson, president of Real Estate Partners, offered a three-word redundancy for the investment. “Location, location, location.” The sprawling complex was built in 1978, long before Warner Center morphed into the Century City of the San Fernando Valley with more than 1 million square feet of commercial and retail space. Today the complex is along the Metro Orange Line transit corridor and within walking distance of offices, restaurants, shops and two major shopping and entertainment destinations, Westfield Promenade and Westfield Topanga. The latter is undergoing a massive renovation that includes a new Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, and Target plus new shops and restaurants. Thompson said he’s wanted to invest here for a while. “We hadn’t been able to buy in California because of the cost. This one worked out good.” In addition to landscaped grounds the complex includes a pool and clubhouse, fitness center, leasing office, two lighted tennis courts and controlled gate access. The units range in size from 457 square feet for a studio to 1,125-square-foot three-bedroom units. Rents start at just above $1,000 for studio’s and $1,900 for three-bedroom units, according to the Web site apartmentguide.com. Thompson said that his company plans a $3 million-plus renovation and will improve management to better serve the residents. The latter will be handled by an affiliate, Real Estate Partners Asset Management Services Inc. It will also oversee the renovations, which include new exterior paint, redesign of the clubhouse, refurbishment of the pool and decking and the addition of upgraded pool furniture and barbecues. Interior work will include adding washer/dryers and upgrading the kitchens and appliances. The upgrade will take over two years. “We’re doing it as units become available. We don’t evict anyone,” Thompson said. Nor are there any plans at this time to convert the complex to condominiums, he said. Spencer Scott, Sean Deasy and Scott Davies of CB Richard Ellis represented both the parties in the transaction. Scott, a vice president in the company’s downtown Los Angeles office, said that it is an attractive property in an attractive location. In addition to the retail development, about 3,000 apartment units are scheduled to be built in Warner Center. “For the most part there is very limited opportunity to invest in Warner Center. What we liked about the Arbors is its core location,” Scott said. About 75 percent of the tenants work in Warner Center, he said. Ellis earlier worked on the sale of the 136-unit The Pointe at Warner Center at the southeast corner of Canoga Avenue and Erwin Street. Irvine-based Real Estate Partners now owns and manages more than 5,700 apartment units across the country. greg.wilcox@dailynews.com (818) 713-3743 AD Quality Auto 360p 720p 1080p Top articles1/5READ MOREBasketball roundup: Sierra Canyon, Birmingham set to face off in tournament quarterfinals160Want local news?Sign up for the Localist and stay informed Something went wrong.

Strong sunshine and a slight cooling breeze with the Convoy pitch, the envy of every club, looking like a snooker table. This game was to be a very close encounter and the Home team seemed to be on top of things in the first half. Pointe for Moville came from Danny Murphy, Malachy McDermott (2), Oran McDermott (2) and Seamus Hegarty. Convoy nabbed a goal from an unusual defensive mistake by Moville on the 28th minute to leave the half time score: Conmhaigh 1-06 Bun an Phobail 0-06. The Moville men were on a two match winning streak and needed to make it three in a row today to force a play-off and remain in the Championship having been beaten by Convoy in Carrick field in May.Ciaran Diver got the second half scoring started with a point in the 4th minute with Convoy pointing on the 5th and 9th minutes. There then followed a period of good passing football involving Seamus Hegarty and Nigel McMonagle and finishing with Danny Murphy putting the ball in the back of the Convoy net. Nigel McMonagle got a point on the 12th minute to level the score. Convoy got three more points without reply to leave three points in it with seven minutes to play. Moville rallied though and four points came from the boots of Nigel McMonagle, John McGeady and Ciaran Moore. Moville were one ahead with a minute to go, and they rode their luck in the dying seconds with Convoy hitting the underside of the crossbar but luckily Tom Houston cleared his lines. Final score Conmhaigh 1-11 Bun an Phobail 1-12. The play off will take place on Saturday 22nd June, venue and times are to be confirmed.Moville U14 boys win County Semi FinalThis all county semi final was contested on Saturday evening in Lifford in almost perfect playing conditions. Moville got the first score of the game when Dempsey Holwell pointed over the bar in the first minute. The Foylesiders struggles with the bounce of the ball on the pitch for the first quarter of the game as Naomh Bríd seemed to settle in more quickly into what would become a fifteen minute spell where they scored 1-06 without ant reply from the Moville boys. Kyle Harkin had other ideas though and within two minutes had raised the green flag twice beating the keeper low and to the keeper’s left both times. Noamh Bríd pointed on the 19th minute before Holwell grabbed his first goal, followed in close proximity by points from Kyle Harkin and Patrick Faulkner. Naomh Bríd would get two more points before half time, however Depmsey Holwell grabbed a second goal, and James Farren raied the green flag again a minute later. Patrick Faulkner rounded up the scoring before the whistle with a point leaving the half time score Bun an Phobail 5-04 Naomh Bríd Ballintra 1-09.Naomh Bríd had a dream start to the second half scoring 2 goals in the first 4 minutes to narrow the gap. Holwell and Cathal McLaughlin, who was having cracking game in midfield, got points for Moville as Naomh Bríd got their 4th goal of the match ten minutes into the second half, followed closely by a point to level the scoring. Kyle Harkin pointed again. Conor McDaid grabbed an 18th minute goal, and Harkin complete his hat-trick two minutes later, he followed this up with two further points on the 21st and 22nd minutes of the second half; Moville were nine points ahead with 5 minutes to go and should have been comfortable but would not score again in this match; the final 5 minutes were all about Naomh Bríd: they won and converted a penalty on the 25th minute; followed this up with two points and then a goal in injury time to leave the smallest possible margin of 1 point between the two teams. In the tense closing seconds the Moville boys managed to win the kick-out and hold possession until the referee blew up for full time. Final score: Bun an Phobail 7-10 Naomh Bríd Ballintra 6-12. Moville progress to the county final and details will be posted on Facebook and the club website.U14 girls win Championship openerMoville u-14 ladies opened their Championship account with a comprehensive win away to Urris tonight. Played in glorious sunshine, it was Urris who opened the brightest but failed to convert some early possession on to the scoreboard. Moville soon settled and the scores flowed from all angles. Under the guidance of Lynn Mc Guinness and Paul Mc Dermott, Moville played a fast running game, retaining possession and dominated throughout. It was noticeable that in front of either goalmouth, be it their own or their opponents, there was no catch and kick; they continually looked for the played in a better position. Early days and great win but this team has the ability to go a long way in this year’s championship.GAA: MOVILLE GAA CLUB NEWS – WINNING STREAK CONTINUES was last modified: June 9th, 2013 by BrendaShare this:Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pocket (Opens in new window)Click to share on Telegram (Opens in new window)Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)Click to share on Skype (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)Tags:GAA: MOVILLE GAA CLUB NEWS – WINNING STREAK CONTINUES read more
Coady has developed into a top centre-back and a leader since leaving Liverpool for Wolves in 2015 no dice Manchester City – Phil Foden (contract expires in June 2020)In the next two seasons, several important City stars have contracts running out. Vincent Kompany, Fernandinho, David Silva, and Ilkay Gundogan could all leave, but the most important thing for manager Pep Guardiola is not losing wonderkid Foden. With Jadon Sancho already proving himself away from the club, letting the 18-year-old midfielder go would be a mistake of epic proportions. shining Which teams do the best on Boxing Day in the Premier League era? Brighton and Hove Albion – Mat Ryan (contract expires in June 2022)Okay, he’s got plenty of time left on his deal, but with reports Manchester United are sniffing around, then it might be worth improving the Australian’s terms. He’s proven to be a quality addition and is deserving of a new contract, especially if it does ward off suitors. Forbes list reveals how much Mayweather, Ronaldo and Messi earned this decade Ryan Fraser’s excellent form has been a highlight for the Cherries this campaign. Top nine Premier League free transfers of the decade REVEALED Huddersfield Town – Mathias ‘Zanka’ Jorgensen (contract expires in June 2020)A real talent at the heart of the Terriers’ defence, it’s going to be tough to hang on to the Dane. The club would be wise to get him on a longer-term deal to avoid losing him for a pittance.Leicester City – Nampalys Mendy (contract expires in June 2020)After a tough start to life with the Foxes, Mendy has returned from a loan spell back with former side Nice and looked a real star. He looks comfortable alongside team-mate Wilfred Ndidi with his positioning and passing allowing James Maddison and others to function in more attacking roles.Liverpool – Georginio Wijnaldum (contract expires in June 2021)It’s likely an extension for James Milner is an urgent matter of business, even if it is just for one more year, but the Dutchman should be the next recipient. A brilliant professional with an excellent work ethic, he’s the perfect successor to Milner himself and already wants to remain at Anfield for the foreseeable future. Bournemouth – Ryan Fraser (contract expires in June 2020)We hate to alarm Cherries fans but one of your top performing players is about to enter the last 18 months of his deal. The stocky creator has excelled this season as Eddie Howe begins an evolution at the Vitality Stadium, scoring three goals and making six others. He’s a key part of a front three with Callum Wilson and David Brooks so signing him up for the long-term would be smart. ADVICE Berahino hits back at b******t Johnson criticism – ‘I was in a dark place at Stoke’ Ronaldo warned Lukaku how hard scoring goals in Serie A would be before Inter move huge blow REVEALED Sessegnon was central to Fulham’s promotion push last year 13 13 Newcastle United – Jonjo Shelvey (contract expires in June 2020)Still only 26, Shelvey has plenty to offer the Magpies if his contract is extended. If Rafael Benitez is ever given money to improve his forward line, Shelvey is the perfect man to feed them with his mix of defensive play and creativity.Southampton – Charlie Austin (contract expires in June 2020)There aren’t many who deserve new deals with the Saints right now but Austin may well be someone worth keeping around for a little longer. He’s certainly up for the battle and, with his unquestionable spirit, can at least be a guiding light even if he isn’t starting games.Tottenham Hotspur – Christian Eriksen (contract expires in June 2020)Spurs have several stars with contracts needing to be ironed out in the coming months. Toby Alderweireld’s is perhaps not as pressing as it once was with his hamstring injury clearly taking away some of his pace and Jan Vertonghen is set to have a one-year extension activated. So this leaves Eriksen the most pressing matter. Without the Dane, Spurs lack creativity and losing him permanently would require an exceptional midfield signing to replace him. 13 Oxlade-Chamberlain suffers another setback as Klopp confirms serious injury Rice’s rise to prominence has been remarkable MONEY Argentine ace Pereyra has been in fine form West Ham United – Declan Rice (contract expires in June 2019)This is a no-brainer. That the versatile youngster’s situation hasn’t been sorted yet reflects badly on the Hammers. His excellent displays should have been well rewarded long ago and his consistency makes a mockery of those who haven’t improved his current terms. Monreal has been a key player for Arsenal since moving to north London in 2013 Manchester United – David De Gea (contract expires in June 2019)Unless reports suggesting the Red Devils will replace an exiting De Gea with Atletico Madrid’s Jan Oblak are true, De Gea must be made to sign a new contract, no matter what he takes. If it wasn’t for the Spaniard the club would be in a worse state than they currently are. 13 Crystal Palace – Luka Milivojevic (contract expires in June 2020)The Serbian midfielder has proven to be an inspired signing since joining from Olympiakos in January 2017. He’s now captain thanks to his leadership on the pitch, while his accuracy from the penalty spot has won the Eagles many points. He’s only got a year and a half left on his current deal and at 27 years old this would be the perfect time to extend his time at Selhurst Park.Everton – Michael Keane (contract expires in June 2020)Rather sensibly, the Toffees have most of their priorities in order when it comes to contracts, leaving us without much choice. Given Keane’s return to form he’s perhaps the most deserving of new terms for the Toffees right now, although youngster Tom Davies, Gylfi Sigurdsson, Seamus Coleman, and Jonjoe Kenny will all vie for a deal.Fulham – Ryan Sessegnon (contract expires in June 2020)The 18-year-old may not quite be adapting to the Premier League as they had imagined after his excellent Championship form, but Sessegnon is young and has huge potential. Interest in the player may be on the wane, so now could be the perfect time to hand him a pen to sign a nice new contract. BEST OF 13 Latest Football Stories Premier League Team of the Season so far, including Liverpool and Leicester stars 13 Foden has the potential to be one of the best in the world 13 13 Eriksen is reportedly wanted by some of Europe’s top clubs, including Real Madrid Arsenal – Nacho Monreal (contract expires in June 2019)The experienced Spaniard hasn’t been able to get too many games under his belt this campaign due to injuries but he’s a valuable asset for the Gunners and even if an extension only gives him an extra year it would be extremely valuable to have a leader like Monreal stick around while manager Unai Emery continues to change the squad up at the Emirates. Wijnaldum scored a brilliant header to help the Reds beat Spurs 2-1 at Wembley Where Ancelotti ranks with every Premier League boss for trophies won RANKED 13 Mat Ryan joined Brighton from Valencia in 2017 De Gea has been named Man United’s Player of the Year four times in the last five seasons Wolverhampton Wanderers – Conor Coady (contract expires in June 2021)Don’t be fooled, Wolves’ success in the last two years hasn’t just been down to their Portuguese dealings. Coady has been masterful at the back for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side. Even Alan Shearer reckons he should be getting an England call-up so it’s vitally important the club reward his good performances. Burnley – Robbie Brady (contract expires in June 2022)Giving a new deal to someone just back from injury might be risky but the Irishman is more than likely to offer the Clarets some serious improvement as he returns to fitness. If Burnley let his contract go too close to expiration they could lose a talented player for peanuts.Cardiff City – Aron Gunnarsson (contract expires in June 2019)He penned a one-year extension in the summer and many felt he might not cope with the jump up to Premier League football. He’s done well as the Bluebirds battle for survival though, especially when you consider he was thrown straight into action after a long-term injury.Chelsea – Eden Hazard (contract expires in June 2020)This won’t surprise too many people. The Belgium will continually be linked with a move to Real Madrid until his future is committed to the Blues. Hazard is 27 years old and is no doubt looking for the major payday his talent demands. If he does get offered the terms he wants, Hazard may well sign and become a bona fide legend at Stamford Bridge. Son ban confirmed as Tottenham fail with appeal to overturn red card REPLY In recent weeks, several high profile Premier League stars have signed new contracts with their current clubs.Dele Alli at Tottenham and Raheem Sterling at Manchester City are the best examples, earning new deals thanks to outstanding form over the last few years. Every time Ally McCoist lost it on air in 2019, including funny XI reactions 13 13 Hazard has been in scintillating form for Chelsea this season Manchester City star Raheem Sterling now earns around £300,000 a week. 13 13 Watford – Roberto Pereyra (contract expires in June 2021)The Argentine has been a real success story this season. An injury curtailed his first season after a promising start and last year he was still acclimatising to Premier League. Now he’s proving his talent and despite having two-and-a-half years left on his current deal the Hornets might need to improve his terms to keep hold of him. But which one player at every top-fight club should get a contract extension like Alli and Sterling?Here talkSPORT.com looks at the stars who deserve new deals whether it be down to performances, potential, their current one expiring, or even just to help provide experience and excellent depth.Find out who we’ve picked below… read more
