The transformation was rapid. In 1994, simultaneous explosions demolished the cement plant smokestacks. Eight months later, the barrier between Bay Harbor and Little Traverse Bay was removed, and water rushed in at the rate of one-million gallons per minute. Within 24 hours, over 2.5 billion gallons of water formed the new "Nautical Center of the Great Lakes" and became Bay Harbor Lake. Bay Harbor embodies the ultimate lifestyle; with Bay Harbor Lake ranking as one of the top marina resort facilities in the United States (as described in 2002 by Applied Technology & Management, Inc.) and Motor Boating Magazine in 2006, being home to the Bay Harbor Yacht Club. Bay Harbor Lake Marina is a unique amenity that provides a safe harbor and has become a major destination for Great Lakes boaters.
Bay Harbor's town center, the Village at Bay Harbor, bustles with boutiques and restaurants where the defunct cement plant once stood. The Village is now the heartbeat of the community, featuring such public elements as a marina, public observation platform and walking trails. In fact, nearly one mile of Michigan shoreline and 70 acres of prime land were donated as public parks by Bay Harbor Company and are connected by five miles of non-motorized public nature trails, providing permanent enjoyment for the residents and visitors of Bay Harbor and neighboring communities. It is this combination of a vibrant setting, beautiful scenery, and a diverse array of shops that has turned the Village into a site used frequently for community events, weddings, and outdoor festivals.
In many ways, the Bay Harbor Equestrian Club brought equestrian activities to northern Michigan for the first time. It now attracts trainers, breeders and riders to northern Michigan for shows and clinics and has created an equestrian culture where none had existed before. Events include the Buck Brannaman (Horse Whisperer) Clinic, calf roping and pony camps.
Now that Bay Harbor has hundreds of satisfied homeowners, the community has taken on a life of its own. An increasing number of extraordinary events are being held each year producing countless successful product launches and forming sustainable community traditions. The Bay Harbor Art Fair, Bay Harbor Vintage Car & Boat Festival, Baynanza, Boat Rendezvous and Ice Festival, as well as many philanthropic events including Baynanza and the Bay Harbor Home Tour have drawn thousands of visitors to the community throughout all four seasons.

San Antonio Water System customers could be facing a rate increase of nearly 10 percent in 2013. An aging infrastructure is one reason, but another is pressure from the Environmental Protection Agency.
SAWS spokesperson Anne Hayden said each year the EPA targets cities to reduce sewage overflows. San Antonio treats more than 250 million gallons of sewage each day. Hayden said 99.9 percent of that sewage never escapes the system, but the EPA wants even better numbers for compliance with the Clean Water Act.
City Council passed an ordinance in 2005 seeking to regulate sexually-oriented businesses, but an injunction fell into place that prevented the city from enforcing the new rules. The injunction was lifted in 2010, but sexually-oriented businesses have continued to operate with very few regulations being enforced.
District 6 Councilman Ray Lopez is looking to change all that with his ordinance that strengthens the language as to what constitutes a sexually-oriented business.
Following a transition to the new Public Safety Headquarters – the new home of the San Antonio Police Department – Police Chief William McManus is pushing for a change that will change the look of the department to the public.
Members of the Hays Street Bridge Restoration Group lined the steps of San Antonio City Hall Monday to demand a public vote on the use of the vacant land adjacent to the historic bridge. The group wants a park in the open space, not a brewery.
Nearly 2,300 police officers patrol the streets of San Antonio, and Councilman Rey Saldaña said the issues are about the same as other cities of a similar size, but here in the Alamo City, the policing is different.
City council voted to approve the convention center expansion and the new council district map, and also ruled to approve the payday loan ordinance championed by District 1 Councilman Diego Bernal.
"Simplistically said, San Antonio's population growth during the decade is Hispanic, very much Hispanic," said David Mendez, who has been drawing redistricting maps for more than 30 years.
He said San Antonio is straightforward when it comes to redrawing city council district lines, but what was different for the Alamo City during this census round is where the growth was reported, and who was moving there.
District 2 Councilwoman Ivy Taylor said she wants to remain committed to code enforcement, as many residents had expressed during ten city-wide meetings to identify priorities in the budget.
However, during the voting process Taylor caused a little confusion when she motioned to adopt the budget, with the exception of the line item for Big Brothers, Big Sisters.
"She was just recently elected to the board," said City Clerk Leticia Vacek, "after this is voted upon we will have another motion voting for that particular funding."
The Capital Improvements Management Services Department (CIMS) could grow by eight project management positions under a plan devised by the city council.

APEX — The rematch of a grueling early-season, five-game contest turned out to be anti-climatic.
The Panther Creek volleyball team arrived at Middle Creek's gym prepared for another long day between the evenly matched Southwest Wake Athletic Conference squads. A month ago, Panther Creek survived a marathon at home with a 19-17 win in the fifth game.
But Tuesday's rematch lasted less than 90 minutes as Panther Creek's players slung equipment bags over their shoulders and were on their way home with a 3-0 sweep of the Mustangs, 25-19, 25-21, 25-17.
The Catamounts (7-6, 5-5) have been on an upward swing under their first-year coach, Lindsey O'Connell.
"I think throughout the season we've become closer as a team," said Panther Creek senior libero Hayden Lundahl. "We have such good chemistry on this team. We minimized our errors and that led to the victory."
One turning point in the second game that led to Panther Creek ( taking a 2-0 lead en route to the sweep was the play of junior setter Caroline Wang.
The Catamounts were leading 20-17 when she put away a kill with power to end a long rally. After Middle Creek scored to trim the deficit to 21-18, another long rally ensued, but this time Wang tapped an off-speed shot over the net that fell untouched to the floor for a 22-18 lead.
"I try to extend plays – that's my role as a setter," Wang said. "But when I see an opening, I just go for it. That's the way to get points and put an end to a long rally."
While the Catamounts were making an early exit from the Middle Creek gym, the Mustangs (8-11, 3-7) gathered in a hallway. First-year head coach Danielle Martzolf discussed the disappointing performance. Then her players remained behind, sitting in a circle for a lengthy players-only meeting.
Middle Creek's fast start this season – the Mustangs won the Heritage Invitational on Aug. 24 -- has been disrupted by injuries. Katie McCullough, the MVP of the Heritage Invitational, was sidelined by a foot injury. In her third match back, she was impressive with 11 kills.
"We've had a lot of injuries and had to move people into different positions," Middle Creek coach Danielle Martzolf. "We've got to get back to playing as a team. Things change during a season, but you have to be able to adapt. We made too many errors to win."

Brennan Confirmed as Top Spy
After a 13 hour filibuster, Brennan is confirmed as the director of the CIA.
John Brennan testifies on Capitol Hill on Feb. 7, 2013, during his confirmation hearing before the Senate Intelligence Committee.
After a 13-hour, old-fashioned filibuster, the U.S. Senate confirmed 25-year CIA veteran John Brennan Thursday 63 to 34 as the agency's director.
But the nomination was not without a dramatic display of political showmanship.
[READ: Best Quotes From Rand Paul's Filibuster]
Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul used Brennan's nomination to get answers about the country's drone program—specifically whether President Obama believes he has the authority to kill Americans suspected of terrorism on U.S. soil without trial.
Since his time as the president's counterterrorism adviser, Brennan has maintained a critical role in shaping the CIA's drone program.
Brennan began his intelligence career as a CIA analyst and also served as the agency's deputy executive director.
"I can't ultimately stop the nomination," Paul said during his filibuster. "What I can do is try to draw attention to this and try to get an answer."
Brennan's confirmation vote came just hours after Attorney General Eric Holder provided Paul with the answer to his question. "The answer to that question is no," Holder wrote Paul.
Holder's answer was not sufficient enough to some GOP Senators. Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz and Paul announced legislation following Brennan's confirmation that would make it illegal for the government to target Americans on U.S. soil with a drone.
"Our Constitution restrains government power," Cruz said in a statement. "The federal government may not use drones to kill U.S. citizens on U.S. soil if they do not represent an imminent threat. The Commander in Chief does, of course, have the power to protect Americans from imminent attack, and nothing in this legislation interferes with that power."
[PHOTOS: Brennan's Senate Confirmation Hearing]
Meanwhile. Paul's filibuster revealed a schism in the Republican party. Paul was supported during his filibuster by Cruz and Republican Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida while members of the old guard—GOP Sens. John McCain of Arizona and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina—dismissed his stunt as "ridiculous."
"Somehow to allege that the United States of America, our government, would drop a drone hellfire missile on Jane Fonda ... that brings the conversation from a serious discussion about U.S. policy to the realm of the ridiculous," McCain said on the Senate floor Thursday. "The country needs more Senators who care about liberty, but if Mr. Paul wants to be taken seriously he needs to do more than pull political stunts that fire up impressionable libertarian kids in their college dorms. He needs to know what he's talking about."
Paul and Cruz also voted against Brennan to be CIA director.

Last year's Fort Sanders Fest was held in, appropriately enough, a blocked-off area of Forest Avenue in the Fort Sanders neighborhood. The music festival takes a big step up this year to World's Fair Park—which is technically outside Fort Sanders, but close enough in both spirit and geography to count.
The festival, scheduled for April 27 and organized by a group of University of Tennessee students who operate under the name Hype Fidelity, will feature 14 local artists on the north side of the park, behind the Knoxville Museum of Art. Proceeds from the festival will benefit the Scarecrow Foundation.
The lineup includes Annabelle's Curse, Backup Planet, Best Friend, the Blue Heavy, Crumbsnatchers, Grandpa's Stash, Hudson K, Johnny Astro and the Big Bang, Marina Orchestra, O Youth, PaerBaer, Tame the Hurricane, the Theorizt, and Yung Life. Tickets for the festival are $12. For more info, visit fortsandersfest.com.

The Jets could have a new kicker for their AFC East showdown on Monday night against the Patriots.
Veteran PK Kris Brown is scheduled to work out with the team on Tuesday, according to ESPNNewYork.com. Starting PK Nick Folk has missed five of his last 10 field-goal attempts.
Brown spent three games with the Chargers this season after losing his job in Houston to Neil Rackers in the preseason. He converted four field goals in five attempts with San Diego and is a 77 percent career kicker on field goals.
Folk was a perfect 5-for-5 kicking field goals in an Oct. 11 win over the Vikings, but he also missed three field goals in the Jets' Nov. 14 win over the Browns.
The way we see it
With two 9-2 teams facing off with home-field advantage in the AFC up for grabs on Monday night, the game could certainly come down to a clutch field goal, and Folk's struggles are a concern. Brown is not great, but he is a veteran.

More quote details and news » 's failure to land a major acquisition during 2012 to use its swelling cash hoard, and in his annual letter to shareholders called his company's performance "subpar" despite a $24 billion increase in its net worth.
The value of the Omaha, Neb., company rose 14% in 2012, Berkshire said Friday, compared with a 16% total return in the Standard & Poor 500-stock index, including dividends. But Berkshire's ballooning size means that keeping up with the market continues to get tougher, as Mr. Buffett has long warned it would.
In his highly anticipated annual shareholder letter, published Friday, Warren Buffett called Berkshire Hathaway's 2012 returns "subpar" despite a $24 billion increase in its net worth. MarketWatch's Laura Mandaro took a look at the letter. (Photo: Getty Images)
"When the partnership I ran took control of Berkshire in 1965, I could never have dreamed that a year in which we had a gain of $24.1 billion would be subpar," Mr. Buffett, Berkshire's chairman and chief executive, said. "But subpar it was."
The lagging performance is just the company's ninth in the 48 years that Mr. Buffett has steered the company, but the third in four years. If the stock market continues to advance in 2013, it could jeopardize his streak of beating the S&P on a rolling five-year basis, as Mr. Buffett said Berkshire's relative performance is stronger when the market is down or flat.
Not landing a large deal in 2012 was another disappointment, Mr. Buffett said: "I pursued a couple of elephants, but came up empty-handed."
Two years ago, he said he was on the prowl for big deals as a way to boost returns on Berkshire's billions of dollars in cash. At the time, Mr. Buffett said, "Our elephant gun has been reloaded, and my trigger finger is itchy."
That message sent deal makers scurrying to identify potential "elephants," or companies that fit Berkshire's acquisition criteria of profitability and sound management, and also are large enough to increase the company's overall book value, a measure of worth.
View the Report
See notes and commentary from WSJ reporters on Berkshire Hathaway's annual report.
Mr. Buffett said he studied a couple of opportunities, which he didn't name. But the planned $23.4 billion purchase with Brazilian buyout firm 3G Capital of H.J. Heinz Co. , announced last month—Berkshire is putting up $12 billion—is the biggest deal the billionaire investor has struck since the 2010 purchase of railroad operator Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corp. for $26 billion. There have been smaller deals, including "bolt-on" purchases by Berkshire subsidiaries for a total of $2.3 billion, Mr. Buffett said.
Still, small deals don't move the needle for Berkshire, which had $47 billion in cash at the end of 2012. Four of the conglomerate's biggest noninsurance subsidiaries—Burlington Northern, Lubrizol, Iscar and Marmon Group—entered the Berkshire fold through acquisitions in recent years, and posted $10.1 billion in 2012 pretax earnings, up $600 million from a year ago.

Berkshire has been busy acquiring newspapers. In the past 15 months, the company bought 28 daily newspapers for $344 million. These deals don't fit Berkshire's size requirements, but Mr. Buffett said he and Mr. Munger love papers and will continue to buy them "if their economics make sense."

He didn't delve into succession plans, but said the two investment managers Berkshire has hired in recent years, Todd Combs and Ted Weschler, outperformed the S&P 500 by double digits in 2012.
"We hit the jackpot with these two," Mr. Buffett wrote.
Berkshire Hathaway reported net income of $14.8 billion for 2012, up 45% from a year earlier and driven largely by improved underwriting results at its insurance units and $1.28 billion in derivative gains.
In the letter, Mr. Buffett also chided chief executives around the nation who declined to invest for the future, citing economic uncertainty, and with tongue in cheek urged them to consider selling out to Berkshire.
"If you are a CEO who has some large, profitable project you are shelving because of short-term worries, call Berkshire," he said. "Let us unburden you."

At its meeting in Geneva last month (May 11), the Board of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria announced that uncommitted resources, contingency funds and new contributions means it will have an estimated US$1.8 billion to spend on new programmes until the end of 2013. This is exciting news and a major shift from just a couple of months ago when it was uncertain whether there were sufficient funds to cover the Transitional Funding Mechanism.
The Board said the money will be used to launch a new funding opportunity and implement the Global Fund's new strategy. This means new funding opportunities will be made available from late September onwards with grants awarded from April next year.
A further decision was taken by the Board to freeze the automatic cutting by 25% of grants to middle income countries at the time of phase two renewals to comply with the 55% rule, which states that a minimum of 55% of the Global Fund's grant commitments in any given year should be allocated to low-income countries. Mechanisms already put in place by the Global Fund such as an assessment of a country's counterpart financing will instead be used to determine the eligibility of middle income countries for grants.
With 70% of poor people (and most people living with HIV and AIDS) located in middle income countries many in the global HIV response including the Alliance rightly celebrated. 23 MICs have been spared from 25% cuts, and space has been created to design a better model through which to allocate the Global Fund's resources.
Anton Kerr, Head of Policy at the Alliance, said: "In all my years working on these issues I have not seen such a clear demonstration of the power of well targeted advocacy. Had a few civil society organisations not taken this issue on the 55% rule would not have even been on the Board's agenda, let alone suspended."
But while grants for middle income countries have been saved from further cuts for the time being it remains unclear what will happen when the freeze ends in September.
Questions also remain about how communities most at risk of HIV will fare under a new funding structure being developed as part the Global Fund's new strategy. The strategy proposes a shift from the traditional rounds-based system to one that will allow countries to submit grant requests at numerous points throughout the year and allows for ongoing improvement of proposals. However, it is currently unclear how the system will allocate funding and encourage a full expression of demand at country level.
Pressure is still needed to ensure any global allocation tied to country income level is based on evidence, and that any shift to a system that allocates funds throughout the year does not simply prioritise grants on a first come, first served basis or from an office in Geneva.
Kerr added: "In the coming months it will be critical for the Alliance to impress the need for the Global Fund to remain true to its principles of country ownership and partnership and to ensure that countries are able to request funds based on their own assessment of needs and gaps.
"Civil society and key stakeholders including key populations must remain at the centre of funding decision-making processes to ensure the gains of recent months are not lost, and the Global Fund stays the most responsive and effective global funding mechanism for the three diseases."

What is wrong with the App Store
That works for me too. Didn't try it that way.
I'm used to searching via categories. I used to go to the productivity section and search through that way, now if I do that I only get new and noteworthy and that's only 50 apps.
Sometimes I'm not sure what I'm looking for so searching by keyword is limited for me.
Sometimes you just stumble upon a cool app, not sure what changed but I used to be able to view 1000s of apps this way ....

The MLB regular season winds down today (maybe -- more on that in a second) and you needed to stay up until 1:22 this morning to be fully versed on what was at stake in today's games. That's the time the Red Sox wrapped up a 7-6, 10-inning win over the Yankees in the second game of a day-nighter that stretched nine hours and featured the teams splitting 10-inning decisions.
Meanwhile, the Rays posted a 4-0 win at Kansas City. So that means the Rays and Yankees are both 95-66 heading into today's finales (the Yankees are at Boston at 1:35 on YES while the Rays are at KC at 2:10). Tampa has the tiebreaker edge so a Rays win wraps up the AL East and sends the Yankees on to Minnesota as the wildcard for the division series. The Yankees can only win the division with a victory in Boston and a Tampa loss. Dustin Moseley -- yes, Dustin Moseley -- will start for the Yankees today.
There is no one-game playoff, remember, because both teams have already qualified. In that case, Tampa's 10-8 regular-season edge is used as the tiebreaker. That's not going to be the case in the National League as we could be looking at the first three-team, two-day tiebreaker in history.
If the Padres win today at San Francisco for the third straight day and the Braves beat the Phillies, we would have three teams (Atlanta, San Diego and San Francisco) tied at 91-71. So what would happen? The Padres and Giants would play for the NL West crown Monday in San Diego with the loser going to Atlanta Tuesday to determine the wildcard. Oddly enough, it might behoove the Phillies to lose today to potentially force the three-teamer and make all of their potential NL opponents run through some pitching before the division series starts.

Niagara Gazette
Niagara Gazette — NORTH TONAWANDA — Police arrested a Michigan native early Saturday in the slaying of his girlfriend who was found dead in her Lincoln Avenue home last week.
Brian Lowry, 32, faces a single count of second-degree murder in the death of Heather Rylowicz, 34. Rylowicz was found dead in her home Wednesday after neighbors concerned her dog was alone, her car was missing and mail was piling up on her porch called police. Officers responded and found her lifeless body left in the home for an undetermined amount of time.
Friday, North Tonawanda investigators announced they were publicly seeking to speak with Lowry, who neighbors said had lived with Rylowicz for some time, but police declined to call him a suspect at the time.
Citing a pending felony hearing or consideration by a grand jury, North Tonawanda Police Chief Randy Szukala said the department is still withholding details surrounding Rylowicz's death and Lowry's implication in it.
"Based on the investigation and where it is at at the particular time ... it was enough to charge him with second-degree murder," Szukala said. "Can't really go into too much regarding (why)."
The victim's car remains missing, "one of the open ends of the investigation," the chief said.
Szukala said Buffalo police located Lowry early Saturday and he agreed to be transported to North Tonawanda for questioning. After that conversation, police formally charged him with Rylowicz's death. Szukala wouldn't say whether Lowry admitted he killed the woman.
Online profiles of the two individuals show they began dating in July, when Lowry changed his Facebook relationship status to "in a relationship" and told his handful of friends on the site "I'm so happy-I have the best girlfriend in the world!!"
His profile says he attended high school in Ypsilanti, Mich. It wasn't immediately clear how long he'd lived in Western New York.
Rylowicz's Facebook account shows her as a 1997 graduate of Brocton High School, south of Dunkirk in Chautauqua County. She listed her employer as Glidden Machine and Tool in Wurlitzer Drive in North Tonawanda.
Szukala said Lowry is being held without bail. Once formally arraigned he will face a felony hearing scheduled within three days. Should Lowry choose to go forward with the hearing, police and prosecutors will present the evidence justifying the second-degree murder charge in North Tonawanda City Court. Should Lowry and his as-yet-unnamed attorney opt to waive the hearing, the case will be put to a Niagara County grand jury behind closed doors for consideration of indictment.
"You don't really want to bring too much out prior to it going to the grand jury," Szukala said. "That's just the way the investigation can go. (We want to) make sure we get the indictments or go to trial. ... Unfortunately for the people who want to know the facts, we're going to have to hold back on it."
Szukala said more charges are likely once prosecutors sort through evidence and determine what other criminal offenses allegedly occurred.

Bookies and bookmakers are the people who take bets on sporting events. They are usually thought to be men. Back in the 1980s and 1990s, Marisa Lankester was one of the few women working in what might be termed the bookmaking industry, taking sports bets and grading them as wins or a losses.
In the United States, it is illegal to partake in sports betting outside of a regulated establishment, like a Las Vegas sportsbook. In 1986, Ms. Lankester went to work for Ron "The Cigar" Sacco. The media has called him one of the most successful people in that industry. At the end of his operation, before authorities got involved down in the Dominican Republic and shut it down, the FBI reported that Ron's operation was taking in over one billion dollars a year.

A St. Charles County grand jury indicted a man on criminal charges Friday after prosecutors said he asked an informant to arrange sex for him with a 12-year-old virgin.
Mohammad Teimoortagh Jr, 23, of the 3200 block of Everwood Run in St. Charles County, was indicted on the following charges:
- First-degree attempted promoting prostitution
- Second-degree attempted statutory rape
- Possession of a controlled substance
According to court documents, Teimoortagh had a face-to-face meeting with a woman whom he asked to find him a 12-year-old to have sex with him. The woman told him she could find him a 15-year-old virgin.
Teimoortagh said that was too old for him, but a 14-year-old would be acceptable, St. Peters Police said. He said he would need a photo of the girl, according to court documents.
Afterward, the woman contacted police and told them the situation. St. Charles County Drug Task Force and St. Peters Police had her arrange to meet Teimoortagh outside a St. Peters hotel, where she would provide a 14-year-old girl.
St. Peters Police were waiting and arrested Teimoortagh Aug. 6.
Teimoortagh is being held in lieu of a $250,000 cash-only bond. His next scheduled court appearance is Oct. 19.

Springfield, Mass. - February 11, 2010 - Matt Cavalieri poured in a career-high 31 points, including a three to send it to overtime and a 12-foot jumper to win it, as the Springfield College men's basketball team battled past cross-town rival Western New England, 79-77, in overtime on Thursday night. Ryan Coburn recorded a triple double with 17 points, 11 blocks, and 10 rebounds for the Pride.
Both teams end the contest with identical 12-10 records. Springfield has now five games in a row and 10 of its last 12 contests.
In an exciting game that featured 16 ties and 12 lead changes, Cavalieri was tremendous as he came up clutch time and time again, while Coburn achieved a feat not often seen in Springfield's long and storied history. It is believed to be Springfield College's first triple-double in 20 years, as the last came when Ramses Kelly was credited with a triple-double on February 27, 1990 at Stonehill back when SC was still playing in Division II and the Northeast-10. Kelly, who routinely threatened triple doubles in the late '80's and early 90's, had 14 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists in that game.
After Billy Harkins stole the ball and called timeout with 11 seconds remaining in the overtime session, Cavalieri pumped home a 12-footer from the right elbow to send the crowd of 921 into a frenzy and give the hosts a 79-77 advantage. After a WNEC timeout, Coburn batted the initial inbounds back out of bounds, giving the visitors one last-ditch effort. A deep pass from Mike Booker was intercepted by Cavalieri at midcourt as the Pride hung on to the two-point win.
The game started off as a back-and-forth affair with six ties in the opening 10 minutes of play, the last coming after Andre Shaw converted a fast-break bucket with 9:25 left. From there, Springfield erupted on a 9-0 run over the next 3:01 capped off by a Coburn three-point play. Coburn pumped in seven of the nine points in the run as Springfield seemingly grabbed control of the contest. The Pride's lead ballooned to as much as 13 with just over 1:30 in the opening stanza after an Evan Christner jumper from the top of the key. A deep Shaw triple with nine seconds remaining cut Springfield's lead to seven, 40-33, heading into the half.
The home team's first-half lead had disappeared by the 13:57 mark of the second half as a three from Andre Duncan knotted the game at 48-all. Neither team would lead by more than two points over the next five-plus minutes until the Golden Bears used a five-point run, capped off by a Brendan Murphy triple, to take its' largest lead of the game at 61-56. However, a Christner fast-break bucket and a Darvis Rankins trifecta from the corner just 1:09 later once again had the teams grid locked at 61. Aftter a Booker layup put WNEC up two with 17 seconds remaining, Rick Johnson had a chance to ice the game from the free throw line. However he netted just one of two freebies with 17 seconds remaining to give the visitors a three-point advantage, setting up Cavalieri's heroics. Out of a timeout, the junior forward took a feed from Harkins and buried a three from 25 feet with seven ticks on the clock to force overtime.
Cavalieri added nine rebounds to his career-best 31 points as he connected on 13-of-21 shots. Coburn tallied his first career triple double, including a career-high 11 swats, while Harkins added 10 rebounds, six assists, and six points. Christner came off the bench and scored on all five of his shots to finished with 12 points and seven rebounds. With his 11 blocks, Coburn broke John Sylvia's record for most blocks in a season, as the sophomore center now has 75 through 22 games this year. Sylvia held the old mark of 73, which he set in 1987.
For WNEC, Shaw finished the game with 24 points as he buried five three's in the loss. Johnson added 13 points and seven assists, while Murphy chipped in with 12 points. Chris Devine was the only other member of WNEC to notch double figures in the scoring column as he totaled 10 points.
The Pride owned a 56-41 advantage on the glass, however turned the ball over 25 times in the contest.
Springfield returns to conference action on Saturday afternoon when it travels to take on Clark at 1:00 pm.

ou may want to know how area restaurants performed in their last Virginia Department of Health inspection.
Restaurants in the Commonwealth are inspected between one and four times a year. There are two types of violations: Critical and non-critical. What's the difference? Critical violations, unless corrected, can contribute to "food contamination, illness or environmental degradation," according to the state health department.
"In our experience, it is unrealistic to expect that a complex, full-service food operation can routinely avoid any violations," according to Virginia Department of Health's website.
The site continues: "Keep in mind that any inspection report is a 'snapshot' of the day and time of the inspection. On any given day, a restaurant could have fewer or more violations than noted in the report. An inspection conducted on any given day may not be representative of the overall, long-term cleanliness of an establishment."Name Facility Location Last Inspection No. of Critical Violations Coffee House of Occoquan 202 Commerce St 24-Jan-2013 0 Subway 1455 Old Bridge Road #Suite 104 24-Jan-2013 0 Bristow Run Elementary School 8990 Worthington Dr 23-Jan-2013 0 Cafe Caliente 13412 Jefferson Davis Hwy 23-Jan-2013 0 Papa John's Pizza #826 13560 Minnieville Rd 23-Jan-2013 0 Prime Pizza & Grill 2902 Garber Way 23-Jan-2013 1 Kinder Care Learning Center #1616 14050 Central Loop 22-Jan-2013 0 Minnieland Private Day School 2100 Rippon Blvd 22-Jan-2013 0 Pizza Hut Delivery 14438 Jefferson Davis Hwy 22-Jan-2013 0

With Boston College AD Gene DeFilippo set to retire, the question becomes what is the legacy that GDF will leave behind?
It's much easier to stay in than get knocked out and try to get back in," Luck said. "That was always the fear. I'm not trying to say the Big East is on the outside looking in, but clearly, with the loss of so many good teams in the last 10 years between VT, Miami, BC, Pitt, TCU, there's a lot of top 20 football teams that had left and are playing in other conferences."Luck details WVU Big East exit, Big 12 move (ESPN)

Staff Reports
The Tonawanda News
Tonawanda News — Sen. Mark Grisanti, R-Buffalo, urged his colleagues in the state senate and assembly Friday to pass the Protect Our Children Act, which he says would safeguard children from cruel and repeated maltreatment.
The senate passed the bill last year, but it never passed the assembly.
"This legislation will help to protect our children from anyone who is put in a position of trust to care for them and instead commits the ultimate violation and in some way abuses them," Grisanti, who is sponsoring the bill, said. "If approved, this bill would increase the severity of punishment for anyone who would cause harm to a child."
The law defines a person of trust as "any person who is charged with any duty or responsibility for the health, education, welfare, supervision or care of another person, either independently or through another person under 14 years of age, no matter how brief a time period it may be."
Under the bill, the severity of punishments would increase for the offenses of aggravated murder of a child, aggravated abuse of a child in the third degree, aggravated abuse of a child in the second degree, aggravated abused of a child in the first degree, aggravated manslaughter of a child, aggravated endangering the welfare of a child and concealment of death.
Harsher punishment would also be imposed for the murder of a child under 14 years of age while in the course of committing certain sex offenses.
According to statistics obtained by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, an estimated 675,000 children were victims of child abuse last year, with more than 1,500 children dying as a result of abuse or neglect.
Grisanti noted that April, Child Abuse Prevention Month, is an appropriate time for the passage of the bill.
"A community that cares about parental support, early childhood development and maternal mental health issues can help foster nurturing families and healthy children," he said. "For those who do commit abuse, we must have laws on the books that punish them for this inconceivable and reckless behavior."

Woodward, Okla. — By Alan Riffel
The changing face of Woodward is happening at an astounding rate. We are seeing all types of construction right now – residential, commercial, industrial, retail, entertainment, and so on, with both public and private undertakings. It's an amazing pace of progress that we deeply relish. And, according to economic forecasts, this accelerating momentum is expected to continue.
The City is involved at various levels of virtually all of this, with some projects being solely public sector activities. The long-awaited Downtown Streetscape makeover has now been awarded, and will finally be getting underway soon. These changes will drastically transform our Main Street business district by building new accessible sidewalks, installing stylish street lighting, and following up with re-doing the street surfacing. Hopefully, this also encourages our merchants to capitalize on these improvements through investing in storefront upgrades, thereby enticing increased downtown shopping.
Garver Engineering is currently working to design a preliminary proposal for massive improvements to 34th Street. This project will completely replace the two-mile stretch of roadway between Oklahoma Avenue and Hank's Trail. It is expected to not only alleviate traffic flow problems created by the rapidly developing corridor, but to build a delightful thoroughfare that highlights Woodward's cultural and technological advancement. The Oklahoma Department of Transportation is partnering with the City on this, with considerable collaboration and review, as well as high design and structural standards. So, expect the end product to be magnificent. Public meetings should begin in late winter to receive input.
At the same corner of 34th and Oklahoma that will serve to introduce this brilliant new avenue, a four-story hotel is now beginning construction. The same intersection already highlights two very modern bank branches and the sparkling Lakeside 6 cinema. With all of these upgrades, we will soon see a massively transformed gateway to Woodward.
Regarding the Lakeside 6 theatre, owner Brian Mitchell informs us that attendance at that new venue has been very promising. In the first month of operation, more than 14,000 tickets were sold! Just by observing the parking lot, with plenty of Kansas and Texas car tags displayed, we realize that folks in this region are eager to travel to Woodward to see first-run movies. City Commissioner Bill Fanning notes that many college students from Southwestern Oklahoma State University in Weatherford are now opting to come here to the movies instead of Oklahoma City. Those students state it is because of substantial cost-savings for the same level of entertainment. In terms of economic development, the Lakeside 6 has redefined Woodward's market area.
Many more and exciting projects are beyond the point of consideration in a lot of areas. Don't be surprised at what all is built in the next year. I will share what's in the works with you as it is appropriate to do so. Thank all of you for the roles you play in creating a new normal for this city.
Alan Riffel is Woodward's city manager.
