12:00pm–#cttraffic–#New Haven CT–Today’s vehicle fire is an open bed tractor trailer with its back end on fire on I-95 northbound near exit 51. The truck drove quite a few miles no knowing he was on fire. It was discovered by state police monitoring the traffic cameras. Firefighters just arriving on scene. Traffic is going to back up further than it already was.

If ideas are the currency of trade in academia, then conferences are its central banks where researchers, scholars, and other experts can exchange invaluable information on vital topics that shape our world.
Yet all too often, conferences are prohibitively expensive or time-consuming, so the exchange of ideas and research, however great, gets mired in logistics.
UB School of Engineering Associate Dean Dr. Khaled M. Elleithy and Dean/Senior Vice President for Graduate Studies Dr. Tarek Sobh set out to change that. And now, thanks to their success in bringing engineers together, UB has won a Connecticut Quality Improvement Award Competition (CQIA) Gold Innovation Prize.
CQIA awards recognize organizations from manufacturing, service, education, government agencies, and other not-for-profits that develop products, services, or processes that are new to Connecticut and have reached their internal or external markets in the last five years.
Sobh and Elleithy’s contributions were first made ten years ago, when they launched the International Joint Conferences on Computer, Information, Systems Sciences, & Engineering, known as CISSE.
CISSE was the first online engineering conference in the world, and at the time, said Elleithy, “it was an unheard of solution” because anyone with an Internet connection –authors, presenters, and attendees—could participate.
“It attracted people who typically couldn’t go,” Elleithy said. “We have people from the U.S., from Asia, from Africa—from many, many countries.”
Held annually since 2005, CISSE participants have submitted more than 6,000 research papers. Half of those have been published by Springer, the world’s largest engineering publisher, and they are easily accessible at http://cisseconference.org/springer-proceeding-books/
More importantly, CISEE events continue to bring together engineering experts from over 80 countries who have much to share with the world, but not always the means to do so.
Si las ideas son la moneda del comercio en el mundo académico, a continuación, las conferencias son sus bancos centrales, donde los investigadores, académicos y otros expertos puedan intercambiar información muy valiosa sobre temas vitales que dan forma a nuestro mundo.
Sin embargo, con demasiada frecuencia, las conferencias son prohibitivamente caro o mucho tiempo, por lo que el intercambio de ideas e investigaciones, sin embargo, grandes, consigue sumidos en la logística.
UB Escuela de Ingeniería Decano Asociado Dr. Khaled M. Elleithy y Decano / Vicepresidente Senior de Estudios de Posgrado Dr. Tarek Sobh propuso cambiar eso. Y ahora, gracias a su éxito en traer ingenieros juntos, UB ha ganado el Premio de Connecticut Quality Improvement Award de la competencia (CQIA) Oro Innovación.
CQIA premios reconocen las organizaciones de manufactura, servicio, educación, agencias gubernamentales, y otras sin fines de lucro que desarrollan productos, servicios o procesos que son nuevos en Connecticut y hayan llegado a sus mercados internos o externos en los últimos cinco años.
Sobh y contribuciones de Elleithy se hicieron por primera vez hace diez años, cuando lanzaron las conferencias conjuntas Internacional de Informática, Información, Ciencias de Sistemas, e Ingeniería, conocidos como CISSE.
CISSE fue la primera conferencia de ingeniería en línea en el mundo, y en el momento, dijo Elleithy, “fue un insólito solución” porque cualquier persona con una conexión a Internet -autores, presentadores y asistentes-podría participar.
“Atrajo a gente que normalmente no podían ir”, dijo Elleithy. “Tenemos gente de los EE.UU., de Asia, de África, de muchos, muchos países”.
Se celebra anualmente desde el año 2005, los participantes CISSE han presentado más de 6.000 trabajos de investigación. La mitad de los que se han publicado por Springer, el mayor editor de ingeniería del mundo, y son de fácil acceso en http://cisseconference.org/springer-proceeding-books/
Más importante aún, eventos CISEE siguen reunirá a expertos en ingeniería de más de 80 países que tienen mucho que compartir con el mundo, pero no siempre los medios para hacerlo.
#Bridgeport CT (June 30, 2015 Press Release) – Mayor Bill Finch today announced the Police Department is instituting walking beats in the city’s four public housing complexes and expanding its Safe Corridors program in the area of Trumbull Gardens to enhance safety for kids and families.
“Bridgeport today is safer than it has been in about 40 years, but we can and must do more,” said Mayor Bill Finch. “That’s why we are initiating walking beats in our public housing complexes. Our officers will be out there every day — talking with residents, building better relationships and keeping our kids safe. It’s not just community policing. This is smart policing.”
In addition, the city is expanding its Safe Corridors program to add approximately 10 cameras around schools near Trumbull Gardens.
Safe Corridors is designed to ensure kids get to and from school safely through additional patrols by school resource officers and community volunteers at the beginning and end of the school day and through technology.
“This is a layered approach to safety through police, volunteers and cameras. The cameras are monitored throughout the school day in our command center, and they record 24-hours a day,” said Jorge Garcia, the city’s Director of Public Facilities. “In the event of an incident, police have immediate access to the footage.”
Security cameras have been invaluable in investigations, said Police Chief Joseph L. Gaudett Jr.
“We’ve identified suspects and solved crimes using video from businesses, private homes, schools and police department cameras,” said Chief Gaudett. “The cameras not only help our detectives solve crimes but they serve as a deterrent to crime as well. The new cameras around Trumbull Gardens will make the community safer.”
The department continues to expand its capacity to use technology in investigations. Last year, the department sent detectives for specialized FBI training in the Digital Imaging Video Recovery (DIVRT) system, which allows detectives to efficiently retrieve video from public and private security systems so it can be quickly disseminated to the public.
