今天美国国内最大的新闻就是川普总统终于公布了大家期待已久的基础设施计划。在这份长达53页的文件中详细阐述了他振兴美国基础设施的愿景：在未来十年内将2000亿美元的联邦资金通过利用地方和州税收以及私人投资转化为1.5万亿美元，来修复美国的基础设施。 这一计划的要点如下：
1. 这个联邦资金中的一半（即一千亿美元）将被分配给地方政府作为激励措施。另外的200亿美元将用于“能够提升美国精神”的“具有国家意义的项目”，如纽约哈德逊河下的盖特威隧道。另外还有500亿美元专门用于农村补贴，其中大部分将根据农村公路数量和农村人口给予各州；各州可以将这笔钱用于运输，宽带，水，废物和电力项目。
2. 其余的资金将支持其他与基础设施有关的事业，包括现有的贷款计划，例如环境保护局根据“水利基础设施金融与创新法案”运营的贷款计划；如此一来，每1美元的联邦投资可以带出高达40美元的地方和私人资金。
3. 希望通过将不同机构进行的评估整合为“一个联邦决策”，缩短获得联邦许可的时间和费用，并由一个机构牵头评估一个项目。该计划提出将联邦许可从原来的五到十年减少到两年。
4. 该计划还呼吁进行旨在扩大技能型建筑工人来源管道的变革，例如允许佩尔奖学赠款用于社区学院等地的短期证书学习，并将联邦工作学习资金用于在职培训。
5. 最后，该计划提议允许联邦政府快速并且更容易地出售资产，并称其“可以更好地由州，地方或私人实体进行管理”。 作为可能被出售资产的例子，包括罗纳德∙里根和杜勒斯国际机场，田纳西流域管理局和邦纳维尔电力管理局的输电资产，以及为华盛顿特区供应新鲜饮用水的华盛顿渡槽。
地方和州以及私人投资能否拿出余下需要的1.3万亿美元呢？仍是未知数，大家拭目以待吧！ |

Beijing-based Oceanwide is one of the Chinese companies who are changing the Los Angeles skyline.
Chinese direct investment in the U.S. reached a record $45 billion in 2016. Over a third of that came to California. The pace and scale of investment dropped in 2017. California still saw nearly $5 billion in new investment. The Rhodium Group has been a leader in documenting and analyzing these trends. Founding partner Daniel Rosen has spoken at the USC U.S.-China Institute a couple of times, including in 2013. On Thursday, Feb. 8, we are delighted to welcome Rhodium Group senior analyst Cassie Gao to speak. She has written extensively on Chinese investment in the U.S. and is especially focused on California. She will discuss the most prominent sectors for Chinese investors and the investors who are making the biggest impact in California.
Cassie Gao is a Senior Analyst at RHG focusing on China''''s international trade and investment flows. Cassie works extensively on Chinese investment into the United States, as well as broader Chinese macroeconomic reform dynamics. Previously, Cassie worked with the Albright Stonebridge Group''''s China Practice covering healthcare reform and agriculture policy. She has a Bachelor''''s in Economics from Cornell University and a Master''''s in International Affairs from George Washington University.
Rhodium Group (RHG) combines policy experience, quantitative economic tools and on-the-ground research to analyze disruptive global trends. Our work supports the investment management, strategic planning and policy analysis needs of clients in the financial, corporate, non-profit and government sectors.

Dear Colleague,
SIMIODE (Systemic Initiative for Modeling Investigations and Opportunities in Differential Equations) is pleased to announce its 2018 Student Competition Using Differential Equation Modeling (SCUDEM) on Saturday, 21 April 2018, at Azusa Pacific University (APU), one of over 95 competition sites nationwide. We invite you to sponsor a three student team with one faculty coach. Schools can sponsor more than one team and coach.
The competition begins when students are given access to three modeling questions on the morning of 13 April 2018. The team will then select one problem for which they will build a mathematical model, write a two page Executive Summary, and prepare a 10 minute Presentation. Faculty coaches only need to ensure students have time, space, and resources to work on these problems. Faculty may not assist the students with the actual problem solving.
On Saturday, April 21, all participating teams and coaches will gather at APU, where students will spend the morning incorporating one additional issue into their model presentation while faculty engage in a workshop designed to encourage and support the use of modeling in teaching differential equations. Faculty and peer judging will culminate in awards and recognition of student work at the end of the day with a 4:30 PM closing ceremony to permit safe journey back home.
There will also be a fun MathBowl for individual student competition.
There is a $200 registration fee for each team (schools may register more than one team). This includes the faculty development workshop for coach and competition for student teams. Lunch will be on a pay as you go basis in the campus dining facility. Registration fees must be paid through SIMIODE''''s PayPal portal which will be open and dedicated to registration from 1 February - 1 April 2018. We hope you will share this information specifically with those teaching differential equations and modeling classes.
For more details, and to register please visit our website at https://www.simiode.org/scudem/2018 . A flyer is attached here in case you would like to forward to your colleagues and students.

新年来临之前，致帮过我的贵人！
感恩生命中的贵人。
人生弯弯曲曲水，世事重重叠叠山。
生活中，坎坷与诱惑并存，
我们之所以能一路向前，
贵人的帮助功不可没。
什么是贵人？
一个支持你的人，是贵人；
一个和你共进退的人，是贵人；
一个在你需要时陪在身边的人，也是贵人。
当我们心灰意冷时，
是贵人激励我们东山再起；
当我们得意自满时，
是贵人提醒我们骄兵必败；
当我们茫然无措时，
是贵人指明我们前进方向。
有的贵人对你恨铁不成钢，
却总能看到你的优点；
有的贵人恨你到咬牙切齿，
又从不忍心离你而去；
有的贵人把你扶上马还要送一程，
有的贵人陪你走到最后不离不弃。
世界之大，人海茫茫，
能走在一起，真的是一种缘份，
所以要好好珍惜身边，
人心交人心，你真我就真。
祝：
和和美美，漂漂亮亮
风风光光，健健康康
每天都好有福气！
感恩生命中的贵人
谢谢！ |
