Chinese landscape architect Kongjian Yu died in a plane crash late on Tuesday in the vast Brazilian wetlands of Mato Grosso do Sul state, Brazilian authorities said on Wednesday.

The concept has since been adopted in hundreds of places in China as well as urban areas from the U.S. to Russia. Architect Yu Kongjian speaks during an interview at his firm’s office in Beijing, Friday, Oct. 21,…

Jordan Clarkson’s reputation precedes itself. He lets it fly. “I know it’s the first day of training camp, but definitely I feel like down the line, all the guys know,” Clarkson, fresh off his first practice Wednesday with the Knicks, said as he cracked a smile, “throw it to me and it’s getting in the air. “Majority of the time, I feel like I’m open.” For most of his 11 NBA years, Clarkson brought this no-conscience shooting mindset off the bench.

It is possible that no more than six players who were in Tuesday night’s lineup against the Bruins will make it to the Rangers opening-night roster, with only nine having pulled on the Blueshirt last season. The result of this exhibition game did not count.  And yet, this 5-4 overtime defeat in which the Rangers played casual hockey in the third period while frittering away a 4-1 lead prompted head coach Mike Sullivan to send a message to his team in a postgame meeting. “It’s not about the loss.
