BOSTON – This evening, Governor Charlie Baker announced an 11:00 AM delayed start time for all non-emergency state executive branch employees tomorrow morning to allow crews to keep removing snow and treating road affected by the ongoing winter storm. Governor Baker continued to urge motorists to avoid driving this evening and to exercise caution while traveling tomorrow due to snow and high winds. Residents were also instructed to use public transportation if possible.  

"We are implementing an 11:00 AM delayed start time for all non-emergency state executive branch employees to allow crews additional time to treat and clear roadways for tomorrow's commute as this winter storm continues," said Governor Charlie Baker. "Please avoid driving this evening and use public transportation if possible tomorrow as blowing snow will make driving difficult during the morning commute. We ask everyone to continue to check on those in need and assist in keeping sidewalks, storm drains and fire hydrants clear in your neighborhoods. We will continue to work with public safety officials to monitor the forecast and the potential for damage from high winds and flooding in some areas and further update the public as needed."

​The Baker-Polito Administration remains in close contact with the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA), National Weather Service, Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) and State Police (MSP) to monitor the forecast and will work to alert the public with important updates or notifications. 

State Office Delays: All non-emergency, executive branch state employees will operate on an 11:00 AM delayed start time on Monday, February 13th, 2017.

Highway Travel: MassDOT has over 3,100 pieces of equipment and 700 employees treating and plowing roadways. Per MSP, the speed limit on I-90 has been reduced to 40 mph from the New York border to Boston with no tandems or propane. Motorists should plan ahead for their commutes, use public transit when possible and avoid distractions on the road. If you must drive, please exercise caution, "Don't crowd the plow," and stay behind snow removal equipment on the roadways.

​MBTA: The MBTA, including the commuter rail, is planning to operate on a normal weekday schedule tomorrow. Commuters are encouraged to be patient, allow plenty of time for travel and plan ahead by checking MBTA.com/winter or @MBTA on Twitter for real-time updates.

Public Safety: Please clear home and auto exhaust vents to prevent carbon monoxide exposure and avoid downed utility wires.

MAYOR WALSH ANNOUNCES PREPARATIONS, SNOW EMERGENCY, SCHOOL CLOSURES FOR WINTER STORM Urges residents to take caution, abide by snow emergency regulations

BOSTON - Sunday, February 12, 2017 - Mayor Martin J. Walsh today announced preparations for tomorrow's winter storm, which is anticipated to bring nine to 13 inches of snow to Boston. Snow will be heavy, and tomorrow will bring poor visibility and winds up to 50 miles per hour. Boston's Emergency Operations Center is running and will be monitoring the storm. The National Weather Service has issued a weather storm warning, in effect from 7 a.m. this morning until 7 p.m. on Monday, February 13. Boston Public Schools will be closed on Monday. Boston Centers for Youth & Families (BCYF) stand-alone community centers will be open, with school-based sites closed. Libraries will be open. City Hall will be open, but will have limited staffing. The City of Boston is putting into effect a Snow Emergency and Parking Ban at 8 p.m. tonight. In Chinatown the parking ban will begin at 11 p.m., due to a previously scheduled New Year's Eve celebration. Discounted parking will be available in City garages. Locations and pricing are at Boston.gov/snow. Trash and recycling collection will begin 6 a.m. for Monday pickups. Residents are encouraged to stay off the roads, and take public transportation if needed. In the past two days, Boston Public Works restocked about 10,000 tons of salt. At 9 a.m., the City had 100 pieces of equipment pre-treating roads. At 2 p.m., there were 200 pieces out salting and plowing. At 4 p.m., there were 500 pieces out. By 7 p.m., the City will have over 650. "We are encouraging residents to use caution when traveling, assist the elderly and disabled and keep up with the shoveling of their property throughout the storm tomorrow," said Mayor Walsh. "The City offers a number of resources geared towards keeping residents safe and aware of current conditions. During the last storm, compliance with snow rules made Thursday's blizzard easier to clean. Please remember to abide by the snow emergency rules, stay off the roads and be safe." Residents are encouraged to sign up for emergency notifications through AlertBoston and utilize the 311 call center for non-emergency related issues. To find out more information about resources and services available to residents, please visit boston.gov/snow. Rules on Clearing Snow Property owners must clear snow, sleet and ice from sidewalks and curb ramps abutting the property within three hours after the snowfall ends or three hours after sunrise if it snows overnight. Failure to comply will result in a fine issued by Boston Public Works Code Enforcement. Removal of snow, ice from a private property to the street or sidewalk is prohibited and will result in a fine issued by Boston Public Works Code Enforcement. Do not throw snow onto the street. Please look here for information about fines associated with improper removal of snow. Safety Tips Shoveling snow requires significant exertion, please be cautious and pay attention to symptoms. Stop if you feel chest pain, shortness of breath, lightheaded, nauseous/vomiting. Call 911 if those symptoms do not resolve quickly when you stop exertion. Snow piles can make navigating intersections dangerous for walkers and drivers, please take extra care when turning corners with snowpiles that might limit visibility. Pedestrians should use caution as visibility will be diminished due to blowing and drifting of the snow caused by high winds. Carbon Monoxide poisoning is a concern during winter weather, especially with the use of generators. Residents should be sure to use their home heating systems wisely and safety, and have a working carbon monoxide detector on each floor of your home. Call 911 immediately if you suspect carbon monoxide poisoning. Sitting in a car while idling can be deadly if the tailpipe is blocked. Do not let children sit in an idling car while shoveling. Clear any household exhaust pipes of snow. For example, gas exhaust from heating system or dryer. Remember to keep catch basins and fire hydrants clear. Please check on neighbors, especially the elderly and disabled. Have a contractor check the roof to see if snow needs to be removed. If roof snow can be removed from the ground with the use of a snow-rake, do so with caution. Avoid working from ladders and be mindful of slippery surfaces. Public Libraries & Community Centers Boston Public Libraries will be closed. Boston Centers for Youth & Families Community stand-alone centers will be open during normal business hours. Please check their schedules here. Helping the Homeless If you see homeless individuals out  in the cold who appear immobile, disoriented or underdressed for the cold, please call 911. The Boston Public Health Commission (BPHC) coordinates a city-wide network of emergency shelters, outreach providers, city agencies and first responders to assist those in need of shelter. Emergency shelters are open 24 hours and will accept any person in need. Men can access shelters through 112 Southampton Street, and women should go to the Woods-Mullen Shelter at 794 Massachusetts Ave. BPHC and the City are working closely with shelter providers to ensure that no client is without shelter, food, resources, and a warm respite from the cold. Emergency shelters are open 24 hours and will accept any person in need. During extreme cold weather, street outreach teams operate with extended hours and provide mobile outreach vans on the streets in the evening and throughout the day. Find more information here.  Residents are encouraged to sign-up for AlertBoston to receive emergency alerts and to call 311, download the BOS:311 app, or tweet at @BOS311 with questions or concerns. Follow @CityofBoston and boston.gov/snow for the latest update

华人社团展新篇 美国河南留学生联谊会成立
在美国东岸纽约和南加州的华人社区，从去年开始，美国河南留学生联谊会频频出现在当地的各类社区活动、或者是留学生群体的联谊活动中，令人瞩目。
特别是美国河南留学生联谊会洛杉矶地区负责人、南加州大学研究生高嘉辰同学在美国主流社会和华人社区中推广太极文化的特定切入方式，展现河南留学生热爱家乡、积极弘扬中原文化的新风貌。
据高嘉辰介绍，美国河南留学生联谊会是一个为河南籍留美学生成立的线上线下交流平台，在2016年成功注册为美国非盈利性组织。旨在帮助在美国留学的河南留学生们快速融入美国生活，学习，并协助留学生解决就业，创业中的各种问题。
联谊会初期由纽约大学孙亚伟同学在纽约就读硕士期间与几位老乡同学一起组建，孙亚伟来自河南郑州，从15岁初三开始留学于澳大利亚，直到大学毕业后，来到美国深造研究生，是典型的中国小留学生的代表。
孙亚伟表示，十余年来，从在寄宿家庭开始留学生活、学习，到进入社会找工作，买房，投资、创业各个方面受到了海外各界人士的帮助，积累了一定的经验。希望可以把这些经验传递给需要帮助的留学生，特别是小留学生群体，让他们身在海外，但是可以感受到身边有一个可靠的大树，有一群互相扶持的老乡们，亲人们，朋友们，校友们。这也是美国河南留学生联谊会成立的初衷与目的。

与此同时，在美国西岸、南加州大学的河南研究生高嘉辰同学联系到了纽约的孙亚伟，出于对联谊会发展和对老乡的热情，两人一拍即合，决定由高嘉辰同学组建南加州大学河南留学生联谊会。
高嘉辰来自华夏文化的发源地，太极拳的故乡、河南焦作，是"世界太极拳王"王西安先生的入室弟子，曾多次参加国际太极拳交流大赛并获得奖项，在留学期间不忘致力于弘扬发展陈氏太极拳传统文化为己任。
做为南加州大学中国研究生学生会（CGA）主席的高嘉辰同学的想法,立即的得到了学校内河南留学生群体的认可和支持，仅9个月时间就扩大为140余人。随着这些老乡同学的互相吸引，后逐步扩展成为美国加州河南留学生联谊会。
在2016年初，为了更好地服务于在全美的河南留学生，孙亚伟与高嘉辰再次商议，正式将加州河南留学生联谊会并入美国河南留学生联谊会，以形成合力。

目前河南留学生联谊会活跃会员近500名学生，他们来自河南全省各地，其中郑州，洛阳，开封的学生居多。学生年龄从14岁到30岁不等，学习跨度从高一到博士。其中不乏名校甚至常春藤大学，如宾大，康奈尔大学，布朗大学，哥伦比亚大学，纽约大学，南加州大学，加州伯克利大学，芝加哥大学以及各个州的私立高中等。联谊会成员遍布于美国的纽约、波士顿、华盛顿、洛杉矶、旧金山、休斯顿等各主要城市以及全美各地。
联谊会的负责人表示，欢迎越来越多的河南籍留学生加入进来，希望能为他们提供就业，创业，留学以及生活上的帮助和辅导。
据介绍，美国的留学生社团长期以来都是立足和面向各自学校内的留学生，为社会各界所熟悉的是各大学的中国学生学者联合会（CSSA）。例如，洛杉矶的南加州大学的中国学生学者联合会目前约有4600名成员。
而美国河南留学生联谊会，则是在全美跨区域、以出国前地域同乡组成的留学生社团，并积极参与当地华人社区的各项活动, 成为华人社团中一支新的生力军。 (AACYF洛杉矶讯）

麻大孔子學院慶雞年新春

麻州大学波士顿孔子学院举办2017年春节庆祝活动

        2月8日，麻州大学波士顿孔子学院在麻州大学波士顿校区举办春节庆祝活动，孔子课堂师生、大学师生和社区居民近400人参加。麻州大学波士顿校区副校长、教务长温斯顿∙朗利（Winston Langley）和副教务长斯凯乐∙科本（Schuyler ）等校领导出席并为大家送上新春祝福。

        庆祝活动包括游艺项目和文艺演出。来宾们一进入活动区，就首先收到装有签语饼（fortune cookie）的红包，打开来，既能得到一句关于运气或人生的警句，还能学到一个汉字。再走到书法展台，除了能自己“挥毫”体验书法运笔，还能得到当地书法家梅宇国先生当场书写的“福”字和中文名字。“筷子夹豆子”比赛是许多人都乐意参与的项目。还有编制中国结，老师教得认真，学生学得投入。最考验汉语学习水平的是汉字数独游戏和偏旁组字、汉字组词。由于不少来宾正在学习中文，挑战这个项目的人也不少。

ㄨ

        文艺演出历年最受欢迎，今年更是民族舞，外国人唱中国歌、念中国诗，琵琶、古筝、扬琴、黑管，空竹、太极、相声，应有尽有。演出者既包括麻州大学波士顿校区的教授、职员和学习中文的学生、留学生，孔子学院教师，孔子课堂学生，也包括当地其他学校中文项目学生和舞蹈团。

        演出在褚玲舞蹈学校欢快的东北秧歌《新春好》中拉开序幕，接着是麻州大学波士顿校区学中文的学生蓝凤凰（Hanifah Bostic）演唱的字正腔圆、嘹亮悠远的《青藏高原》。随后，波士顿拉丁中学孔子课堂演出的《伞舞》透出浓浓的中国情。波士顿学院高中孔子课堂和波士顿拉丁学校孔子课堂分别表演的《抖空竹》和扬琴《将军令》受到观众的喜爱。丹娜荷中学的中文教师向淑君的相声《我在美国教中文》让人们对中文教师的工作有了更深的理解。她的学生也带来了舞蹈《荷塘月色》。麻州大学波士顿校区的刘瑞明教授、丁薇教授、本雅明∙ 利希滕斯坦（Benyamin Lichtenstein）教授则分别表演了独唱、舞蹈和黑管演奏，玛丽特（Mariette Bien-Aime Ayala）朗诵了古诗《劝学》和《画鸡》。孔子学院的教师徐舒表演了《琵琶语》。古筝《渔舟

唱晚》则来自麻州大学波士顿校区的中国留学生张方和美。晚会还特别邀请了中国文圣拳的传人王安林先生带来精彩的太极表演。整场演出在东方舞蹈团优美的《天浴》中结束。

        观众在演出期间还参加了中国文化知识抢答，演出结束后品尝了中国美食。许多观众表示，麻州大学波士顿孔子学院的春节庆祝是他们每年最期盼的活动。越来越多的人期望通过孔子学院的平台，认识朋友、学习中文和中国文化，展示自己所学，也贡献自己所有。孔子学院在大学和社区多元文化中扮演越来越重要的角色，也为中美教育文化交流提供了更多机会。

        麻州大学波士顿孔子学院成立于2006年，由麻州大学波士顿校区和中国人民大学及中国人民大学附属中学合作共建。目前下设9个孔子课堂，并为多所中小学提供汉语教学支持和汉语考试服务。(圖與文:麻大孔院提供)

REPRESENTATIVES LIEU AND GALLEGO TO PRESIDENT TRUMP, “TIME TO FIRE GENERAL FLYNN” WASHINGTON - Today, Congressman Ted W. Lieu (D | Los Angeles County) and Congressman Ruben Gallego (D I Arizona) – both of whom served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces – issued the following statement calling for President Trump to fire General Michael Flynn. “General Michael Flynn sought to undermine the foreign policy of a sitting American President. And then he lied – repeatedly and egregiously – about his actions. Donald Trump should fire Michael Flynn immediately.” ‘Flynn communicated with high-ranking Russian officials both before and after a presidential election that, according to our intelligence community, Russia actively worked to influence on behalf of Donald Trump. When President Obama imposed sanctions on Russia in response to its unprecedented efforts to disrupt our democracy, Flynn made a series of phone calls to the Russian Ambassador, Sergey Kislyak, offering assurances that the incoming administration would lift these measures after Trump was sworn-in.” “General Flynn then compounded this outrageous misconduct by lying on multiple occasions about the nature of his conversations with Kislyak, claiming that sanctions had never been discussed. Not only did Flynn mislead Congress and the American people, he also apparently deceived Vice President Mike Pence, who made false statements on Flynn’s behalf in an interview with Face the Nation.” “At a minimum, Flynn recklessly violated the sacred principle that America only has one president at a time. But a compelling case can also be made that Flynn violated federal law by collaborating with foreign officials while still a private citizen.” “The American people deserve competence – not corruption – from the leaders entrusted with our national security. They deserve to be told the truth by the men and women who advise the President. And they deserve a full accounting of how and when President Trump’s advisors colluded with a foreign power that sought to alter the outcome of an American election.” “For all of these reasons, President Trump should fire General Flynn.”
