LA Metro sets opening date for new LAX transit center
LA Metro has released the opening date for its new massive transit hub near LAX.
The LAX/Metro Transit Center located at 96th Street and Airport Boulevard in Westchester will officially open to the public on June 6, Metro officials announced.
When opened, the new station, the largest in Metro's network, will be located along the K and C lines and will have a light rail station, bus plaza, bike share and bike parking, as well as other amenities.
It will also provide direct connection to LAX via the Los Angeles World Airport's Automated People Mover, which is tentatively scheduled to open early next year after a series of delays. An LAX bus shuttle will service the station in the meantime.
'When the People Mover finally opens, then truly we will be an international airport that will connect people from literally inside the terminals to the world beyond through Metro,' said County Supervisor and Metro Board Chair Janice Hahn.
The opening of the LAX/Metro Transit Center is a major milestone for Los Angeles' transportation future. When the Automated People Mover officially begins service, LAX will be serviced with direct train service for the first time in its history, just in time for the L.A. region to begin hosting a slew of high-profile sporting events, including the 2028 Olympics, the 2026 FIFA World Cup and Super Bowl LXI in 2027.

The South Bay area Metro station is also expected to be the southern terminus for the eventual Sepulveda Transit Corridor, a planned rail line that will connect the San Fernando Valley south to major population centers in the greater Los Angeles basin through the Sepulveda Pass.
The LAX/Metro Transit Center is another piece of the puzzle for LAX as it continues plans to modernize the aging airport's infrastructure, improve the traveler experience and reduce traffic in and around the terminals with better connectivity to local transit and rideshare services.
The Automated People Mover will pass above Century Boulevard and will connect airport travelers to a ground transportation hub, a facility with all local car rental companies under one roof, and the new Metro station.

DVCon U.S. 2026 Announces Call for Extended Abstracts, Workshop and Tutorial Proposals
Submit proposals by September 7, 2025, to help drive innovation in design and verification GAINESVILLE, Fla., June 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The 2026 Design and Verification Conference and Exhibition United States (DVCon U.S.), sponsored by Accellera Systems Initiative, is pleased to announce its Call for Extended Abstract, Workshop, and Tutorial Proposals. The 38th annual DVCon U.S. will be held March 2-5 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, Santa Clara, CA. 'DVCon U.S. continues to be the premier venue for exploring the latest trends, technologies, and standards in design and verification,' stated Xiaolin Chen, DVCon U.S. 2026 General Chair. 'We invite proposals that share real-world experiences, innovative methodologies, and forward-looking insights. Our goal is to deliver an exceptional technical program while preserving the personal connections and collaborative spirit that have long defined the DVCon experience.' Extended Abstract Information DVCon U.S. 2026 invites engineers, researchers, and practitioners to submit extended abstracts that provide deep technical insights, practical case studies, and innovative approaches across the design and verification landscape. Submissions should focus on real-world experiences and address emerging trends that are shaping the future of electronic system development. Suggested topic areas include, but are not limited to: Functional verification and validation Safety-critical design and verification Low-power design techniques Machine learning and big data applications Design and verification reuse and automation Mixed-signal design and verification Authors may also incorporate topics such as EDA tool usage, FPGA-based design, specialized verification languages (e.g., SVA or PSL), scripting, Portable Stimulus applications, AMS techniques, and IoT-related methodologies. Extended abstracts should be between 600 and 1,200 words and demonstrate technical depth, innovation, and relevance. More information and guidelines for DVCon U.S. 2026 abstract submissions can be found here. Sponsored Short Workshop and Tutorial Information DVCon U.S. 2026 welcomes proposals for technical tutorials and short workshops that offer high-impact educational content for design and verification professionals. These sessions provide an excellent opportunity for industry experts to share knowledge, demonstrate tools and methodologies, and engage directly with attendees. Short workshops are 90-minute sponsored sessions open to all attendees registered for the full conference. Scheduled for both Monday and Thursday, these workshops may be formatted as hands-on demonstrations or lecture-style presentations, allowing flexibility in delivery and engagement. DVCon U.S. technical tutorials are three-hour sessions included with full conference registration. The Technical Program Committee seeks proposals that are timely, highly relevant, and rich in continuing education value. Topics should address current challenges and trends in design and verification. Suggested topics for both workshops and tutorials include: SystemVerilog for design and verification SystemC, C, and C++ in system-level design Software-driven and SoC verification Assertion-based verification (SystemVerilog, PSL) Coverage-driven verification and debug techniques Low-power design strategies and high-level synthesis Mixed-signal modeling and AMS verification Secure IP-based SoC design and encryption Transaction-level modeling, ESL design, and IP integration (IP-XACT) Portable Stimulus and standards adoption Formal methods, emulation, FPGA prototyping, and post-silicon debug Embedded software co-verification and productivity methods Functional safety, security, and open-source methodologies Machine learning applications in design and verification Proposals should include an abstract between two to five paragraphs (not exceeding 1,000 words) that clearly outline the objective, technical depth, and value to attendees. For more details on DVCon U.S. 2026 workshop and tutorial proposal guidelines, including pricing, visit here. Submission DeadlineThe submission site for all proposals opens July 15. The deadline to submit extended abstracts, tutorial and workshop proposals is September 7, 2025. For inspiration and to view proceedings from past conferences, visit the archives site.

Sara Errani to play padel event in Rome following French Open tennis
ROME (AP) — Former French Open finalist Sara Errani is going to trade in her tennis racket for a padel immediately after Roland-Garros. Errani was granted a wild card on Tuesday to play in Premier Padel's Italy Major at the Foro Italico next week. The 38-year-old Errani will pair with 20-year-old Giulia Dal Pozzo. Errani has advanced to the semifinals in both women's doubles (with Jasmine Paolini) and mixed doubles (with Andrea Vavasssori) in Paris. She and Paolini also won gold in doubles at the Paris Olympics and have won two consecutive titles at the Italian Open, which is also contested at the Foro Italico. Errani has said she plans to move full time into padel when her tennis career is finished. When she lost in qualifying at the French Open, she said that was her final singles match in tennis. But she plans to continue playing doubles with Paolini. Errani lost the 2012 French Open singles final to Maria Sharapova. ___
