<p>With this update we feel like Chicken Little.</p>
<p>Trump Tower was blown to pieces on Tuesday, March 14th.</p>
<p>A video shared by TikTok users, Dronekoa caught parts of the tower breaking off and falling onto the street after high winds hit San Francisco. </p>
<p>&#8220;The Trump building is falling apart,&#8221; he wrote over the video. </p>
<p>The intense clip caught the TikTok user filming from a building next to Trump Tower as the glass windows began to shatter and fell into the streets of the city&#8217;s financial district.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s glass,&#8221; said a man filming behind the camera.  &#8220;Oh my god, it&#8217;s cracking!  More is falling,&#8221; he said while filming a piece of glass that looked like it was headed straight for him. </p>
<p>&#8220;Be careful, be careful.  Back, back,” he said, walking away from the window when the glass seemed to come towards the window he was looking out of.</p>
<p><strong>See the original article to view embedded media.</strong></p>
<p>The TikTok user titled the video “San Francisco Wind Breaking Windows”.</p>
<p>The video was then cut to the TikTok user in the street as firefighters attempted to bring the situation under control. </p>
<p>&#8220;<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f633.png" alt="😳" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f633.png" alt="😳" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f633.png" alt="😳" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />that&#8217;s scary <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f627.png" alt="😧" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> imagine a piece of glass flying in your face at that speed!!!&#8221;  A user wrote in the comments. </p>
<p>&#8220;Do you ever feel like a piece of glass floating in the wind,&#8221; quipped another user, referring to lyrics by <strong>Katy Perrys</strong> Hit song &#8220;Fireworks&#8221;.</p>
<p>“I grew up watching Final Destination movies.  This is traumatizing lol <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f633.png" alt="😳" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />,” added a third user.</p>
<p>According to ABC7 News, a local news station in San Francisco, firefighters have reported that a 43rd-story window is completely shattered, while another window is cracked.</p>
<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s no way to tell if a rock or object hit the window, but we&#8217;ve heard reports from people who&#8217;ve seen things flying through San Francisco.&#8221; <strong>Captain Jonathan Baxter </strong>This was announced by the San Francisco Fire Department.</p>
<p>Fortunately, no one was injured, but emergency services took extra precautions and closed all surrounding streets in case more glass fell from the building.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p>
<p>For more than 50 years, shards of colorful glass, preserved in 25 carefully labeled envelopes, had been stored in an old Italian shoe box under Fred McDonald&#8217;s bed.  The broken bits, taken from bombed and bullet-riddled churches throughout Europe during World War II, represented more than just shattered dreams and lives.  To McDonald, a Seattle native who died in San Francisco in 2002, they were tangible links that fused history to the present, as well as the future.</p>
<p>Now that glass is the showpiece of an exhibit at the War Memorial Veterans Building in San Francisco&#8217;s Civic Center.  “Remembered Light” includes the works of 13 artists who used those fragments, along with McDonald&#8217;s memories, to fashion new stained glass windows, sculptures and 3D pieces.</p>
<p>At the end of its run — the exhibit will be open Wednesday-Sunday through Nov. 20 — the works are destined for a more permanent installation in the Presidio Chapel.</p>
<p>Armelle Le Roux, a celebrated stained glass artist who has worked with teams restoring stained glass at San Francisco City Hall and managed prominent projects for Grace Cathedral and for New York City&#8217;s St. Thomas Church, learned of the hidden gems through an acquaintance and was the first artist to realize the potential of McDonald&#8217;s treasure trove.</p>
<p>She met with McDonald to discuss ways to bring the glass back into the light.</p>
<p>“At the time,” Le Roux says, “we talked about creating some sort of memorial piece.  But because the glass had been saved as separate pieces, each with a name and history, everything had meaning, and I didn&#8217;t want to lose that.&#8221;</p>
<p>Le Roux began creating two stained glass pieces that incorporated two sets of shards, working them into designs based on their provenance and McDonald&#8217;s recollections.  Eventually, she brought in other artists to create additional pieces.</p>
<p>Ariana Makau, an Oakland-based glass artist and conservator and founder of Nzilani Glass, says she was immediately struck by the project.</p>
<p>&#8220;It intrigued me on multiple levels,&#8221; Makau says.  “It was like traveling through space and time, the way each piece of glass had been documented.  That he had the foresight to do that appealed to me as a conservator.&#8221;</p>
<p>McDonald, an Episcopal minister, traveled to Germany in the early 1930s and witnessed the rise of Adolph Hitler, a man he first admired but came to despise.  When was broke out, McDonald enlisted as a chaplain in the US Army, assigned first to San Francisco&#8217;s Fort Mason and later to the 12th Army, under the command of the legendary Gen. Omar Bradley.  He soon found himself following the advancing troops through England, France, Belgium and, finally, Germany.</p>
<p>McDonald was tasked, says his great-nephew, San Francisco restaurateur Bruce McDonald, with finding suitable churches to hold services for all the non-Catholic soldiers.  His travels included several places he&#8217;d visited during peace time, where he began picking up the broken remnants of stained glass windows.</p>
<p>&#8220;He was quite a packrat throughout his life,&#8221; Bruce says.  “He collected menus from restaurants around the world.  He loved to save things and always said that sometimes, it&#8217;s a small thing that brings back a memory.</p>
<p>As McDonald gathered the shards, he tucked them in envelopes and mailed them home to his mother.  By war&#8217;s end, he had mailed 25 envelopes and collected more than just glass.  He had documented the coordinates and the city where each piece was found and his observations of what remained after the battles.  About one, he wrote:</p>
<p>“On or about Oct.  23rd, I entered the first German city to fall to our forces, the imperial but now roofless city of Aachen, a good thousand years old.  A very new Church of the Holy Ghost on the outskirts had been the scene of a firefight and a wrecked tram stood by the forlorn and empty church.  Down by the Cathedral, I saw an aged woman lugging two suitcases as she crawled over stone piles.  Where was she going with her pitiful burden?”</p>
<p>“This church, obliterated during the Battle of Britain in August 1940, was a favorite of high church Episcopalians from the Pacific Northwest.  In 1933, I had worshiped there many times, a special wrench to find this favorite &#8216;Fortress of the Faith&#8217; gone.&#8221;</p>
<p>“I had just arrived in Normandy.  There was an apple orchard where our Army headquarters was tented.  In the evening, I walked into the flattened town spread out around a badly bombed church.  A ghostly silence covered the deserted area except for the shoveling noise of a lone man trying to uncover his house.  He saw me and glared.  I represented the war, which had brought ruin to his house and home.</p>
<p>&#8220;I picked up some of the church glass and moved on.&#8221;</p>
<p>The shards might have remained hidden, their stories lost to time, if not for a chance meeting.  McDonald, who continued to travel the world for many years after the war, had finally settled in San Francisco, a city he admired for its boldness and verve.  After serving a congregation at St. Luke&#8217;s Episcopal Church, he had eased into retirement when one day he struck up a far-reaching conversation with a fellow resident at his retirement home.  The topic turned to stained glass, and McDonald mentioned his unique collection.  The woman knew of Le Roux&#8217;s work and reached out to her.</p>
<p>The Remembered Light works were completed in 2007 and put on display, first in the Presidio, before eventually making it to New Orleans&#8217; World War II Museum, where COVID held them captive for a year.  Finding a place to exhibit was sometimes difficult, Bruce McDonald says, because some museums shy away from religious exhibitions.  But Remembered Light is not about religion, he says.  It&#8217;s about one man&#8217;s journey through war.  McDonald wants people to learn and see the connections between war and peace, as the exhibit returns home to San Francisco.</p>
<p>&#8220;Fred was a very articulate and educated worldly person,&#8221; Le Roux says.  “At the end, I want people to have a sense of humanity, not just of religion and war.  I want them to think about the impact of destruction.  I&#8217;m sure people will feel the sorrow, but I want them to also feel hope.&#8221;</p>

<p>The shards might have remained hidden, their stories lost to time, if not for a chance meeting.  McDonald, who continued to travel the world for many years after the war, had finally settled in San Francisco, a city he admired for its boldness and verve.  After serving a congregation at St. Luke&#8217;s Episcopal Church, he had eased into retirement when one day he struck up a far-reaching conversation with a fellow resident at his retirement home.  The topic turned to stained glass, and McDonald mentioned his unique collection.  The woman knew of Le Roux&#8217;s work and reached out to her.</p>
<p>The Remembered Light works were completed in 2007 and put on display, first in the Presidio, before eventually making it to New Orleans&#8217; World War II Museum, where COVID held it captive for a year.  Finding a place to exhibit was sometimes difficult, Bruce McDonald says, because some museums shy away from religious exhibitions.  But Remembered Light is not about religion, he says.  It&#8217;s about one man&#8217;s journey through war.  McDonald wants people to learn and see the connections between war and peace, as the exhibit returns home to San Francisco.</p>
<p>&#8220;Fred was a very articulate and educated worldly person,&#8221; Le Roux says.  “At the end, I want people to have a sense of humanity, not just of religion and war.  I want them to think about the impact of destruction.  I&#8217;m sure people will feel the sorrow, but I want them to also feel hope.&#8221;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p>
<p>For more than 50 years, shards of colorful glass, preserved in 25 carefully labeled envelopes, had been stored in an old Italian shoe box under Fred McDonald&#8217;s bed.</p>
<p>The broken bits, taken from bombed and bullet-riddled churches throughout Europe during World War II, represented more than just shattered dreams and lives.  To McDonald, a Seattle native who died in San Francisco in 2002, they were tangible links that fused history to the present, as well as the future.</p>
<p>Now that glass is the showpiece of an exhibit coming to the Bay Area on Aug. 27 at the War Memorial Veterans Building in San Francisco&#8217;s Civic Center.  “Remembered Light” includes the works of 13 artists who used those fragments, along with McDonald&#8217;s memories, to fashion new stained glass windows, sculptures and 3-D pieces.  At the end of its run — the exhibit will be open Wednesday-Sunday through Nov. 20 — the works are destined for a more permanent installation in the Presidio Chapel.</p>
<p>Armelle Le Roux, a celebrated stained glass artist who has worked with teams restoring stained glass at San Francisco City Hall and managed prominent projects for Grace Cathedral and for New York City&#8217;s St. Thomas Church, learned of the hidden gems through an acquaintance and was the first artist to realize the potential of McDonald&#8217;s treasure trove.</p>
<p>She met with McDonald to discuss ways to bring the glass back into the light.</p>
<p>“At the time,” Le Roux says, “we talked about creating some sort of memorial piece.  But because the glass had been saved as separate pieces, each with a name and history, everything had meaning, and I didn&#8217;t want to lose that.&#8221;</p>
<p>A display from “Remembered Light” is illuminated at an exhibit in the War Memorial Veterans Building in San Francisco, California, Thursday, Aug. 25, 2022. Artist Daniel Ziegler made this piece of art from the window shards of churches bombed in World War II collected by Fred McDonald, then a chaplain in the US Army.  (Karl Mondon/Bay Area News Group) </p>
<p>Le Roux began creating two stained glass pieces that incorporated two sets of shards, working them into designs based on their provenance and McDonald&#8217;s recollections.  Eventually, she brought in other artists to create additional pieces.</p>
<p>Ariana Makau, an Oakland-based glass artist and conservator and founder of Nzilani Glass, says she was immediately struck by the project.</p>
<p>&#8220;It intrigued me on multiple levels,&#8221; Makau says.  “It was like traveling through space and time, the way each piece of glass had been documented.  That he had the foresight to do that appealed to me as a conservator.&#8221;</p>
<p>McDonald, an Episcopal minister, traveled to Germany in the early 1930s and witnessed the rise of Adolph Hitler, a man he first admired but came to despise.  When was broke out, McDonald enlisted as a chaplain in the US Army, assigned first to San Francisco&#8217;s Fort Mason and later to the 12th Army, under the command of the legendary Gen. Omar Bradley.  He soon found himself following the advancing troops through England, France, Belgium and, finally, Germany.</p>
<p>McDonald was tasked, says his great-nephew, San Francisco restaurateur Bruce McDonald, with finding suitable churches to hold services for all the non-Catholic soldiers.  His travels included several places he&#8217;d visited during peace time, where he began picking up the broken remnants of stained glass windows.</p>

<p>&#8220;He was quite a packrat throughout his life,&#8221; Bruce says.  “He collected menus from restaurants around the world.  He loved to save things and always said that sometimes, it&#8217;s a small thing that brings back a memory.</p>
<p>As McDonald gathered the shards, he tucked them in envelopes and mailed them home to his mother.  By war&#8217;s end, he had mailed 25 envelopes and collected more than just glass.  He had documented the coordinates and the city where each piece was found and his observations of what remained after the battles.  About one, he wrote:</p>
<p>“On or about Oct.  23rd, I entered the first German city to fall to our forces, the imperial but now roofless city of Aachen, a good thousand years old.  A very new Church of the Holy Ghost on the outskirts had been the scene of a firefight and a wrecked tram stood by the forlorn and empty church.  Down by the Cathedral, I saw an aged woman lugging two suitcases as she crawled over stone piles.  Where was she going with her pitiful burden?”</p>
<p>About another, he wrote:</p>
<p>“This church, obliterated during the Battle of Britain in August 1940, was a favorite of high church Episcopalians from the Pacific Northwest.  In 1933, I had worshiped there many times, a special wrench to find this favorite &#8216;Fortress of the Faith&#8217; gone.&#8221;</p>

<p>And about another:</p>
<p>“I had just arrived in Normandy.  There was an apple orchard where our Army headquarters was tented.  In the evening, I walked into the flattened town spread out around a badly bombed church.  A ghostly silence covered the deserted area except for the shoveling noise of a lone man trying to uncover his house.  He saw me and glared.  I represented the war, which had brought ruin to his house and home.</p>
<p>&#8220;I picked up some of the church glass and moved on.&#8221;</p>
<p>The shards might have remained hidden, their stories lost to time, if not for a chance meeting.  McDonald, who continued to travel the world for many years after the war, had finally settled in San Francisco, a city he admired for its boldness and verve.

<p>The news of Jaren Holmes&#8217; departure from the St. Bonaventure men&#8217;s basketball team came late Friday night, and a day later, the guard confirmed he will enter the transfer portal after three seasons with the Bonnies.</p>
<p>The program didn&#8217;t waste time finding a replacement, though.  Guard Daryl Banks III announced Sunday he will transfer to Bona after three seasons at Saint Peter&#8217;s.  And Monday, Marcus Hammond ended more than a month of speculation as to his next destination, when the former Niagara guard announced he would join Notre Dame as a graduate transfer. </p>
<p class="tnt-summary">The St. Bonaventure men&#8217;s basketball team picked up a shooting guard through the transfer po…</p>
<p>The moves were part of a busy stretch for transfers to leave or join Big 4 men&#8217;s and women&#8217;s basketball programs, and expect a flurry of last-minute movement this week because the deadline for athletes in fall and winter sports to enter the transfer portal without having to sit out a season, unless they are granted a waiver that provides immediate eligibility, is Sunday. </p>
<p>In all, at least 20 players from Big 4 men&#8217;s teams and at least 10 players from Big 4 women&#8217;s teams have entered the portal as of 8 pm Monday, either confirming their transfer or having it reported by various outlets.  Additionally, at least 13 men and two women from Big 4 programs have yet to announce their next destinations. </p>
<p><h3>People are also reading…</h3>

<p>According to Stadium, more than 1,250 men&#8217;s basketball players who were on scholarship this past season are in the transfer portal. </p>
<p>The NCAA on Monday released a dashboard that displays Division I transfer portal data for the 2019-20 and 2020-21 academic years.  Of the 1,692 men&#8217;s basketball players who entered the portal in 2020-21, 63% transferred to NCAA schools.</p>
<p>According to The Athletic, as of April 12, 1,143 women&#8217;s basketball players were in the transfer portal following the 2021-22 season.</p>
<p>According to NCAA data, of the 1,134 women&#8217;s basketball players who entered the portal in 2020-21, 63% transferred to NCAA schools.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a look at some of the recent movement &#8211; and moves that could come soon &#8211; among Big 4 men&#8217;s and women&#8217;s basketball players who have entered the transfer portal or have joined Big 4 schools.</p>
<p>New UB women&#8217;s coach Becky Burke continues to fill a roster that was depleted by transfers out of the school with incoming players, including Kiara Johnson, a 6-foot-2 forward from Tonawanda who is a Cardinal O&#8217;Hara graduate.  UB announced Johnson&#8217;s transfer Monday.</p>
<p>She was a second-team All-Western New York selection in 2018, played for two seasons at Eastern Michigan and for one season at Towson, but did not play last season.  Johnson averaged 4.0 points and 4.4 rebounds in 76 games in three seasons with Eastern Michigan and Towson.</p>
<p>Dyaisha Fair entered the transfer portal March 28, but has not yet announced her transfer destination.  Fair, a guard who was fourth in the nation in scoring last season (23.4 points per game), recently posted on her social media accounts that she has visited Baylor and South Carolina, the defending national champion.</p>
<p>Three women&#8217;s players &#8212; guard Georgia Woolley, forward Saniaa Wilson and guard Cheyenne McEvans &#8212; have followed former UB coach Felicia Legette-Jack to Syracuse. </p>
<p>On the men&#8217;s side, Tra&#8217;Von Fagan, a forward who played for UB for the last four seasons, will transfer to UMBC, according to CBSSports.com.</p>
<p>Canisius is dipping into the portal and the junior-college ranks to replenish its lineup, after five players from the 2021-22 roster entered the transfer portal.</p>
<p>The Griffs added Tre Dinkins on Sunday.  The 6-foot-2 guard, averaged 15.1 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 34 games this season for Harcum College in Bryn Mawr, Pa.  He joins Jamir Moultrie, a 6-1 guard from Kennesaw State, and Sarion McGee, a 6-8 forward who has played at Grambling and Logan CC in Carterville, Ill.</p>
<p>Of the five who entered the portal, two will head to new programs: Malek Green will enroll at Youngstown State, and, according to multiple reports, Armon Harried will transfer to Binghamton.</p>
<p>Hammond is among five Purple Eagles who have entered the portal, and is the second to announce his transfer choice.  Guard Raheem Solomon has announced his transfer to Sacred Heart. </p>
<p>Niagara has added Keith Kiner, a 6-6 junior college forward from Three Rivers Junior College in Missouri.</p>
<p>Banks&#8217; transfer to Bona came two days after Moses Flowers, a guard from Hartford, announced he would join the Bonnies as a transfer.</p>
<p>Banks averaged 11.3 points and 2.6 rebounds in 34 games at Saint Peter&#8217;s this season, but drew plenty of attention in the NCAA Tournament.  In the Peacocks&#8217; 85-79 first-round upset of Kentucky, the 6-foot-3 guard scored 27 points.  He averaged 13.5 points in four tournament games.</p>
<p>Quadry Adams confirmed Monday he has entered the portal.  Stadium.com reported that Abdoul-Karim Coulibaly, who played one season for the Bonnies, will transfer to UMass-Lowell.</p>
