The Buffalo Bills worked into Sunday night on a contract for Syracuse's Doug Marrone to become the team's next head coach.
A Bills source, speaking on condition of anonymity, informed The Buffalo News the team and Marrone had agreed in principle Sunday morning and that an announcement was expected today.
The Bills declined to comment officially on Marrone's status Sunday night. ESPN reported Sunday night the contract would be for four years.
While Marrone didn't create the same splash as other candidates would have, news of his hiring was well-received in the NFL community. Marrone is viewed as a solid and respectable choice for a woebegone franchise that was last competitive when cell phones had antennas.
The decision likely will define whether Russ Brandon is considered successful as Bills president. Brandon took over the title from owner Ralph Wilson one week ago.
"They don't know [Marrone]," said ESPN analyst Herm Edwards, who as New York Jets coach hired Marrone as an offensive line assistant in 2002. "He's one of those guys where everybody's going to be saying, 'Who? Wha? Huh?'
"He doesn't have that name when you think about offensive guys. But Doug did a good job at Syracuse, got them back to respectability. He built a program."
Rather than hire someone who has been an NFL head coach before, the Bills chose an up-and-comer they hope will spark a team that has missed the playoffs 13 straight seasons.
"That's a great hire by the Bills because he brings together that pedigree that is popular now: a substantial pro background with that mix of college," former head coach and NFL Network analyst Brian Billick said.
Marrone, 48, took on a culture of losing at Syracuse and turned it around. The Bronx native will try to do the same thing with the Bills.
In picking Marrone, the Bills are going with an offensive-minded coach with a reputation for being a disciplinarian.
Head-coaching experience was important to the Bills, but they opted for a candidate with college experience over two other interviewees – former Arizona Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt and former Chicago Bears coach Lovie Smith – who took their teams to Super Bowls.
The Bills also interviewed Cardinals defensive coordinator Ray Horton and Oregon Ducks head coach Chip Kelly. A scheduled interview with Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy was canceled Saturday.
The Bills never have hired a head coach directly from college, but Marrone has NFL credentials.
Marrone was the New Orleans Saints' offensive coordinator under Sean Payton from 2006 to 2008, although Payton called the plays on game day. Payton is one of the most highly regarded offensive minds in the league.
"I think he's certainly someone the players will respond to, and I think he's ready," Payton told the New Orleans Times-Picayune on Sunday.
Before joining the Saints, Marrone coached the Jets' offensive line for four years. He oversaw a rugged unit that paved the way for future Hall of Fame running back Curtis Martin.
"He's a detail guy," Edwards said. "He's very organized. He understands the importance of fundamentals and technique. He will stress that. He will make sure the assistant coaches teach that.
"His strongest traits will be putting players into position to have success, and he's about developing players. He'll be very good offensively. He understands a skill set of players. The offensive line along with the quarterback probably will be his focal point."
But Syracuse is where Marrone showed his full abilities as a leader.
Marrone took over a program that went 10-37 the previous four years and had gone seven straight seasons without a winning record.
Marrone went 25-25 in four seasons with the Orange. He went 4-8 in 2009, improving by one win over the previous season. Syracuse then posted records of 8-5, 4-7 and 8-5. Syracuse won the Pinstripe Bowl over Kansas State in 2010 and over West Virginia last week.
"When his opportunity came at Syracuse, it was his alma mater, and he was able to get that program turned around," Payton said. "I think he'll do a great job. I really do.
"I know he had a handful of options this offseason with some of these pro teams. I'm excited to see him get this opportunity. He deserves it."
Marrone played for Syracuse as an offensive lineman and was a captain.
Upon arriving at Syracuse, Marrone was committed to eradicating a losing attitude. A couple dozen players wound up leaving the program over the next two seasons.
"He came in with rules, and the people who didn't want to follow the rules are gone, and those who did want to follow stayed," linebacker Derrell Smith told reporters in 2010.
Early in Marrone's first season, he gathered the players in the locker room one morning and had them clean the room so they could take more pride in where they spent their day.
He required players to dress in a suit and tie instead of sweat suits on game days. He required they sing the Syracuse alma mater before leaving the field after a game. If players were late to class, he would post photos on TV monitors in the weight room.
On the field in Syracuse, Marrone ran the Saints' offense, more or less. It's a pro-style attack that has its roots in the West Coast offense. It relies on the quarterback getting the ball out of his hands quickly and hitting receivers in stride. It uses tight ends and a fullback in situational roles.
In New Orleans, Marrone worked with one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, Drew Brees.
At Syracuse, he developed Ryan Nassib into a winner. Nassib will enter the NFL draft in April and could be a prime target of Marrone and the Bills.

However, that doesn't have to stop YOU from cashing in on Petersen's popularity and making a little hay while the sun shines.
Chris Petersen is the inventor of 'Pete's Poison', one of the most potent offensive systems in recent NCAA history. His brand of football is exciting, successful, and now for a limited time, on sale.. at least in rumor form.
Our system is GUARANTEED*. Using our freshly copyrighted proprietary brand of rumor, innuendo, and fabricated facts has proven to be foolproof. It's the gold standard. Every College Football opening in the past few years has included a version of this script.
Let me restate that.
Here's a quick teaser..
- They ALL have a source in Boise.. which kills me because we had to work for nearly a decade to get our very few sources, and they all get them within an hour of their coach being fired, damn the luck.
- They ALL know that Coach Pete loves their area of the country because, well really, who wouldn't? I mean, if it's good enough for them, then it must be special to Coach Pete as well.
- They ALL have Athletic Director's that are Pete's childhood best friend, or through some other means they are super, super close and spend Christmas vacationing together.
- They ALL have WORLD CLASS Children's Hospitals right next to their campus for Coach Pete's orphanage of special needs children.
- They ALL know that Coach Pete is not happy with Boise State's conference affiliation and that it's a source of contention with Pete and the Boise State Athletic Department.. because Pete wasn't part of the decision to go to the Big East.. He in fact opposes it.
- They ALL are in very serious negotiations with Coach Pete, but the sticking point is always MONEY because Pete always wants so much money.. it's what motivates him after all.
That's just a sample. The full kit includes all the pertinent information you'll need to make your rumor look half-way believable. We'll give you names of important players who you can claim have tweeted about Pete's departure, we'll include an aerial shot of a house that could be the Petersen's with a "For Sale" sign on the lawn. And we'll include important facts, like WHY a Children's Hospital is a factor that helps your school, and where Pete has coached previously that indicates he'd coach at your school.
I kid you not.. it's that simple. Use our cookie cutter outline and YOU TOO can start your very own "Coach Pete To"... rumor and have as much validity as ANY of the rumors on the internet right now.
For the low price of just $19.99, (payable to "COACH PETE TO.. Script" c/o BroncoCountry, Boise, Idaho), you too can start a "Coach Pete Too..." rumor and amaze and wow your friends as your internet hits soar through the roof.
If you act now we'll also throw in this special, limited edition, "BOISE STATE DOESN'T DESERVE TO BE RANKED BECAUSE OF..." cookie cutter list that includes such all time favorite reasons as:
- They only play 1 good team a year and it's their superbowl.
- Their conference schedule sucks.
- I'd like to see them take on a decent team week in and out like MY TEAM in XXXXX Conference.
Act now and we won't even point out the incredible hypocrisy of coveting Coach Petersen as a coach and yet discounting all of his achievements as an unbelievably lucky combination of scheduling bad teams while they're still good, trick plays, and a horrible Conference Strength of Schedule.
Hurry now, order numbers are limited to the exact number of coaching vacancies there are in the 2012 season.
. *note: Guarantee is not guaranteed to produce actual results, only internet results of rumor mongering and pandering to the very lowest form of tabloid quasi-journalism. Prolonged usage will cause loss of credibility, ridicule, scorn, and possible anal leakage.

Soybeans futures are rising on concern that warmer, drier weather in South America may damage the crop.
The May contract for the grain rose 23 cents to settle at $14.36 a bushel on Wednesday.
Expectations of strong export demand for U.S. grown soybeans also helped push prices higher.
In other trading, wheat and corn futures also edged higher.
Metals trading was mixed. Gold was little changed, and copper fell. Platinum and palladium both advanced.
Energy trading was mixed. The price of oil rose on supply concerns and wholesale gasoline rose.
Heating oil and natural gas fell.

When a fan named Josh reached out to Timberlake's camp in November asking to propose to his girlfriend Kim at the concert, the Grammy-nominated singer happily obliged.
An excited Timberlake stopped his show after performing "That Girl" and brought Josh and Kim onstage.
"Josh and Kim, why don't you make your way up here?" the musician asked before introducing them to the crowd.
"Josh called me earlier. He's got something he wants to tell you," he explained to Kim.
Being the showman that he is, Timberlake positioned the couple before hopping offstage to give them their moment. Josh proposed to Kim and planted a huge kiss on her, leaving a giddy Timberlake applauding.
The icing on the cake? If Timberlake and wife Jessica Biel were guests at their wedding. Watch the romantic proposal below.

I tend to be very picky about my linens, so when I pulled my favorite set of sheets from the dryer last weekend and found my fitted sheet ripped nearly in half, it was an emotional moment to say the least.
Luckily, buying a new set won't cost me as much this month. Stores have been having linen or "white" sales in January since 1878, according to the AARP. As retailers make room for spring collections, you'll find great deals on bedding and bath items from past seasons.
Be careful, though. Inexpensive linens may mean poor quality, which can have you in a crisis similar to mine in a matter of months. Here are some good deals on quality items that will outlast the dryer or your spouse's ferocious sleeping habits.
Linens 'N' Things' white sale features discounts on sheets, bedding sets and blankets. If you shop online at lnt.com, shipping is free and you can use the coupon code "Jan20" for an extra 20 percent off your purchase.
One of the best items I saw on the website was the Space Living wrinkle-resistant sheet set, priced at $21.60-$64.80. A 300-thread count may not seem great, but since it's 100 percent Egyptian cotton, this set will likely be as soft and durable as many high-priced sets with 1,000 or more thread counts.
Macys.com has some impressive deals on designer bedding sets. Martha Stewart collections can be found for $17-$88, a markdown from $95-$470. Jenni Bedding collections are also on clearance, with throw pillows priced at $12 and comforter sets for $12-$40.
Belk has one of the most expansive white sales I've seen, with 25 percent to 50 percent off of mattress pads, pillows, sheets, towels and more. Online shoppers can claim $10 off of a $30 purchase with this coupon code: 94168204.
The 300-thread count sheet set by Home Accents are 100 percent natural cotton and are priced at $30-$60, which is about a 40 percent discount.
I also was impressed by the Hollander Featherbed, which is 100 percent cotton and has a white feather fill. Most authentic featherbeds cost at least $150, but this one has been marked down to $70-$90. This featherbed will add about two inches to your mattress height, so make sure your sheets have deep pockets.
Other chains such as Bed, Bath and Beyond and Pottery Barn are having sales on linens. Though they aren't offering the best deals on bath and bedding items, their white sales are worth checking out. You could save 20 percent to 30 percent on designer collections that can't be found anywhere else.

Plans to build Machesney Park's only full-service grocery store continue to progress.
The plat for a Meijer superstore has been approved by the village and officially recorded by the county. And that gives us, the public, our first look at exactly where the 192,000 square-foot shopping center will be built.
It'll go up at the corner of Illinois 173 and Perryville Road, directly across from OSF St. Anthony and next door to Menards.
Meijer plans to build two stores on Perryville at the same time, with a targeted opening date in 2015. The other site will be at Perryville and Rote roads in Rockford.
Attached is a picture of the WinGIS location of the property, which you can also find here.

I was diagnosed in July 001. Treated with velcade and dexamthazone until November when Revlimid was added. An autologus stem cell transplant was performed in 011. Recovery was slow. In May Revlimid was added again. by Feb 012 my numbers began to increase slightly. I was due for a BMT in June but I insisted on having performed in March. It showed that the numbers were definiely increasing.
So what now? I am very concern about having another stemcell transplant using stem cells harvested for the first transplant. Is there no way to determine the % stem cells harvested previously are cincerous?
Why will the result of the second transplant be different from the first transplant?
I was first DX 5/2002 AUTOTRANSPLANT 3/2003 Relapse 10/2011 RVD 11/2011 12/21/2011 M-Spikes down to zero and no myeloma issues. Was sent to Stanford by Kaiser for a transplant cosultatation. I was told I have no CRAB issues and my lesion were minimal and why do I think I was there. I said maybe I should allow for the Noval agents to do it job since I'm in early stage relape. Stage1A. As of 4/2012 I've been taken off all maintenance. I'm just on aredia to rebuild my bones. Did I make the right decision?

Where Are They Now: Joe Ferguson [10:25 AM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: Over the past 30 years, only two players have worn No. 12 for the Bills: Jim Kelly and Joe Ferguson. Those two names are also atop most of Buffalo�s all-time career passing lists. An All-Conference quarterback at Arkansas, Ferguson was selected in the third round of the 1973 draft. The Louisiana native had thought that he might end up staying close to his roots.
Friday's QB Rotation [10:22 AM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: Friday's game: Drew Bledsoe will play at least the majority of the first half. Travis Brown will work the bulk of the second half.
Bills in hot pursuit of defensive end Ahanotu [9:03 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'The team is negotiating with free agent Chidi Ahanotu, and all signs point to him signing with the Bills, perhaps as early as today.'
Bills' D-line fails to close experience gap [9:02 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'You can debate the importance of a single preseason game, but the defensive performance in last Friday's opener against Cincinnati was troubling, to say the least.'
Training camp billboard [9:01 AM]
Buffalo News reports: '"The whole deal is how you approach it. There's no such thing as a problem. It's just a challenge and a situation you've got to rise to. That's part of being a pro athlete." - Offensive line coach Ronnie Vinklarek on players replacing injured starters.'
Todd DeLamielleure [7:09 AM]
Indianapolis Star reports: 'Todd DeLamielleure is the 23-year-old son of Joe DeLamielleure, a standout Buffalo Bills offensive guard and member of the "Electric Company" line that blocked for O.J. Simpson. Now it's the son's turn, as a 5-11, 240-pound linebacker in the Indianapolis Colts' training camp, to try to make it in the NFL.'
Real men stay cool [5:28 AM]
D and C reports: 'On the practice field, water and Gatorade are everywhere. Denying players water breaks is from the leather-helmet era. Football may still be the ultimate macho game, but when the thermometer soars into the mid-90s and the humidity drives the heat index more than 100 degrees, the advice is be smart, not manly.'
McDaniel tries to catch break [5:28 AM]
D and C reports: 'He's no better than sixth or seventh on the depth chart, battling to get 100 percent healthy after a series of leg and ankle injuries, trying to make the most of the few repetitions he receives in live training camp drills.'
Bills seek defensive line depth [5:27 AM]
D and C reports: 'Price, a defensive tackle, and Ahanotu, an end, would bring a combined 18 years and 240 games of NFL experience to a Bills' line where six-year veteran Pat Williams is the most tenured player.'
Injured Ostroski may take pay cut [5:26 AM]
D and C reports: 'His base salary would drop from $1.75 million to $750,000.'
Bills make cuts [5:25 AM]
D and C reports: 'Bradley, out of Middle Tennessee, saw limited action in Friday's preseason game against Cincinnati, while Fletcher, out of Rutgers, dressed but did not play.'
Fan of the day [5:25 AM]
D and C reports: '"If Drew Bledsoe and Eric Moulds start hooking up, it will make a big difference. Rob Johnson could never get the ball to him."'
Bills' preseason report card [9:18 PM]
Fox Sports reports: 'The Bills should make progress this season and play very competitively. But they have enough holes yet and a tough schedule that could keep them from making the playoffs. They could make things interesting over the latter half of the season as the core meshes together - but this could be a very intriguing team to watch in 2003.'
Bills all about redemption [8:46 PM]
FOX Sports reports: 'The Buffalo Bills already seem so much better than last year's sad sacks that linebacker London Fletcher has all but guaranteed the playoffs. I don't know about that, but I do know the Bills can cause trouble in the AFC East if quarterback Drew Bledsoe and his offensive coordinator find what they're after. Around here, it's called redemption.'
Q&A with Tom Donahoe [8:44 PM]
FOX Sports reports: You may not like him, but you can't help but admire Tom Donahoe for the strength in leadership he's shown in the short time he's been general manager of the Buffalo Bills. Donahoe is the guy who had the guts to cut Doug Flutie. He's the guy who straightened out the salary cap, too. He's the guy who found rookie replacements for salary-cap casualties. And now he's the guy who oversees the rebuilding of one of the AFC's best and brightest organizations through marvelous drafting and shrewd free-agent acquisitions.
Bills going after Ahanotu [8:44 PM]
AP reports: '"It's not done yet, but it's looking positive," Ahanotu's agent Scott Langley said on Wednesday, updating the progress of contract talks. "I know it's close."'
Bills & Verizon Fight Domestic Violence [4:11 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: The Buffalo Bills and Verizon Wireless have teamed up to ask Western New Yorkers to help fight domestic violence. In the joint effort, Verizon and the Bills urge Bills fans to donate their no longer used wireless phones at the remainder of Bills' training camp and at Verizon Wireless stores. Also, a special collection will take place before the October 27, Bills game against the Detroit Lions at Ralph Wilson Stadium.
"Kelly Krunch" Autograph Winner [3:55 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: 1st Winner Announced: Submit A Jim Kelly Memory/Win Autographed Box
Bills' Brown, Jennings to miss Vikings game [3:10 PM]
AP reports: 'Bills coach Gregg Williams said on Wednesday Brown is close to being cleared to resume practicing, and Jennings isn't expected to miss a significant period of time.'
Whispers from around the NFL [2:11 PM]
ESPN reports: 'This could be a make-or-break camp for three Bills veterans: DE Erik Flowers, who is struggling with a neck injury, DE Bryce Fisher and WR Jeremy McDaniel. Trade rumors continue to float around Buffalo regarding RB Shawn Bryson. The thinking is that the Bills are waiting for another team to have an injury at RB, after which they can make an offer. Bryson is currently slated to be the primary backup for Travis Henry, but the Bills have two other RBs who could fill that role in Sammy Morris and Richard Huntley. Don't be surprised if Bills guard Marques Sullivan supplants veteran Jerry Ostroski as the starting right guard. Ostroski remains on the PUP list with a leg injury, and Sullivan has been playing very well.'
Bills cut Bradley, Fletcher [1:27 PM]
AP reports: 'Both were late acquisitions, signed just before the start of training camp.'
Experience seasons Newman [1:21 PM]
Canandaigua Daily Messenger reports: "Sometimes you can put too much pressure on a guy when he's in his third year... and I think that (happen) to Keith," Bills defensive coordinator Jerry Gray said. "(In 2000, he was) starting and dominating and then you have to play like Sam and you have to play in the nickel, the dime and the ruby (cover packages) - to me, it was actually too much, but he took it and didn't complain. He did his job and I think that will help Keith this year."
Bill release 2 UFDA's [11:34 AM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: The Bills today announced that the team has released CB Jykine Bradley and WR Delrico Fletcher. Bradley, a 5-10, 182-pound defensive back out of Middle Tennessee signed with the Bills as a free agent on July 17. Fletcher, a 6-1, 200-pound wide receiver out of Rutgers signed with the Bills as a free agent on July 23.'
Lary Bump: Bills Trainers Show How to Handle the Heat [11:24 AM]
NFL HS reports: NFL high school site picked up article on Bills beating the heat.
Jim Kelly speech audio from the 2002 NFL Youth Football Summit [11:18 AM]
NFL HS reports: Audio only link to Jim Kelly speech. Speech was given one day before Jim Kelly was inducted in Hall of Fame (13 minutes long).
Two Minute Drill� With Tony Driver [11:18 AM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: Buffalobills.com put free safety Tony Driver in the hot seat for the two minute drill. Read what he had to say about about his teammates.
Bills try to teach high schools lesson - anyone can help with heat [10:04 AM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: "At the professional level, we can have more. We have a staff doctor on hand at all times, IVs and complete first-aid facilities. High schools have water, but they don't have money for anything else," says Carpenter, whose team has a shed at his training camp piled high with case after case of Gatorade and another indoor facility to help cool overheated players. But a high school could find $30 for a pool that could help prevent a heat-stroke tragedy.
Chris Brown: Veteran defensive lineman Shawn Price has passed physical [9:11 AM]
WGR reports: On several occasions the Buffalo Bills have maintained they have an interest in Price and were waiting for him to be physically healthy before opening discussions on a possible contract. The Bills will presumably put him through their own physical exam, but talks between the two sides are expected to begin shortly if they haven�t already.
With Bledsoe at quarterback, the Bills might just be playoff contenders [9:07 AM]
Guelph Mercury reports: 'Today, it's a new game, hope springs again with the kidnapping of Drew Bledsoe, and with him, the biggest pothole in Buffalo has been filled.'
For Crosby, football is a block party [9:03 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Starting fullback Larry Centers is a capable blocker. But the Bills don't want to wear him down in all short-yardage and goal-line situations during the year. That's where Crosby comes in.'

Early in the week I had close friends much too close to the tragedies in Colorado. I was invited to be a part of the welcoming into the world of Capri Pearl, her birth was amazing and I am honored to bear witness. New life. Then my best friend lost her father. A life gone.
That's about all I can write or want to write about any of it right now. There's plenty more power in the unspoken.
I know that I'll look back eventually and will see a perspective I might have missed, a connection to the heaviness and spirit of this time. I probably should feel spent. Exhausted from the events of the week, but instead I feel renewed. Tired, but renewed. Now the snow is falling and it seems like even the outside is starting fresh. Everything is going to be ok.

Hello everyone, from your friendly neighborhood Pens fan.
Maybe you guys can help me out here, I recently got in a very bizarre discussion with another Penguin fan about what NHL teams were the most popular in Sweden. He is an American expat that lives in Sweden, I just have in-laws there but visit from time to time.
He told me that after the Rangers (especially Lundqvist) -- that the Pens had the biggest following, even moreso than the Wings. I suspect he is mostly basing this on wherever he happens to be and perhaps his local experience.
But I think that sounds completely absurd. It would seem to me that the Red Wings would be the most popular team in Sweden, given that there are a lot of Swedes that have been on your team, especially Lidstrom. Everytime I ever happened to be in Sweden and they had hockey highlights on TV the Wings got a lot of coverage, understandably so. But I think he just had this "well I *LIVE* here, YOU just visit, you don't actually know" kind of attitude that got on my nerves, but whatever. I could see the Rangers having interest, but he acted like the Wings weren't even on the radar in his experience and that just didn't make any sense to me at all.
Now maybe you guys and especially some Swedes even on here that can help me out. Anyway this question is going to drive me nuts because what I've been told flies in the face of convention and looking at it doesn't make any sense. (But I can finally get back to work now that I got that out of the way.)
Thanks (tack så mycket)

Right, like I said, I had a feeling there was going to be a lot of people who view it from the other side.
Let me be clear that I am excluding OT winners, first goals, stuff like that.
It is guys like Patrick Kane (who was mentioned) and Tyler Kennedy who make a spectacle out of it every time they score.
You don't really see guys like Crosby, Toews, or Datsyuk celebrate like a maniac everytime they score. Act like you've done it before and you expect to do it again.
But is this a valid point: you see the younger generation of players doing this more so than the older generation?

GEORGETOWN — Paige Sawyer watched in horror during the pre-dawn darkness Wednesday as flames exploded across the heart of the city's deck-planked Harborwalk — the main tourist lure that keeps this antebellum port vibrant.
How to help
Various assistance funds to help those affected by the fire on Front Street in Georgetown have been established.
The Front Street Relief Fund is being run through First Citizens Bank. Donations can also be made by calling (843) 546-8591.
First Federal/SCBT has opened the Front Street Fire Fund with $1,500 in corporate dollars. The bank is partnering with the Georgetown area community to raise funds in support of the American Red Cross Coastal South Carolina chapter.
Donations can be done in any First Federal or SCBT branch office. Checks may be made payable to the Front Street Fire Fund.
"The fire jumped from deck to deck," he said, tracing its path across two floors of wooden porches where diners previously enjoyed beer and shrimp over the Sampit River.
The four-term city councilman had been part of the team of city officials, business people and residents who joined during the late 1980s and early 1990s to make historic Front Street and the river the focal point of the town's revival.
Now, he saw it all disappearing in flames.
"This is too hard to control," he thought as the dry wood cracked and popped. "The entire block is going to burn. ... I could see what was going to happen.
"The wind was blowing. I knew the make-up of the buildings. They're all heart pine. It was the perfect storm for fire."
Could it have been saved?
Three days after the blaze, officials said they had no definitive cause behind the fire, but one theory points to debris that caught fire behind the Limpin' Jane's tap room, a favorite watering hole.
At least 10 businesses were affected and 130 people put out of work. The recovery cost is expected to go into the millions, while people continue to wonder when Georgetown's tourism base will come back.
Fire Chief Joey Tanner said Friday it is too early to predict what will be done in terms of preventing such a fire in the future but that "everything, now, is on the table."
Tanner and Mayor Jack Scoville said there was no problem with water pressure that night as some have rumored.
"The problem was not having enough trucks and personnel here early," Scoville said. "We had to have help here early on."
That section of the city had only two hydrants within close reach, so there was a wait while fire departments from more than a dozen other jurisdictions came in and hooked up lines to hydrants farther away to put more water on the blaze. The city fire department also had on hand auxiliary pumps to pull water from the river.
Tanner said that when his crews arrived on the scene four minutes after the call, the back deck of the Limpin' Jane's was a fiery mess.
One firefighter put water on the inferno and within moments he was overcome and the front end of the building exploded outward onto Front Street, Tanner said.
Some firefighters who arrived first on the scene were sent to awaken, alert or rescue an undetermined number of people living in apartments above the store fronts.
Georgetown also has a small fireboat that was put into action. It was later aided by a fire boat from North Charleston.
In all, about a dozen fire departments and a couple of hundred firefighters helped battle the blaze, said State Fire Marshal Shane Ray, who was at the scene. "We had a good response," he said. "It was locals helping locals."
City officials said 2.8 million gallons of water were poured on the fire during a four-hour span — more than double what the city uses in an average day — and that doesn't count the water pulled from the Sampit River.
Police Chief Paul Gardner said the investigation into the cause is continuing, led by the State Law Enforcement Division and the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. There was no indication of arson, but officials said they wanted to determine the origin. Video of the street and from private individuals is being examined, he said.
Mayor Scoville predicted that when the owners do rebuild, sprinklers will be a part of the design.
"If I owned any of them, I'd give serious thought to it," he said.
Discovering the fire
Sawyer, who owns a photography shop in town, was out for a morning walk along the Harborwalk about 5:15 a.m. Wednesday when he smelled smoke. He walked a little farther and saw fire on the back deck of Limpin' Jane's burning from what looked like slick plastic, topped with some other material and two burned cans that were bigger than cans of green beans but smaller than paint cans.
The flames shot up a wall and Sawyer used his cellphone to call 911. He rushed to an alley so he could cut through to Front Street and meet the fire department. The engines arrived within minutes. The firefighters grabbed a hose and Sawyer led them back through the alley to the fire.
As the firefighters poured on water, the flames raced out of control across the wooden porches and railing to the buildings' rafters.
Sawyer ran up to some of the apartments that filled the upper stories of the buildings and joined firefighters trying to warn anyone still in the buildings. "I knew people upstairs. I went up and banged on doors," Sawyer said. He also helped move a boat from the fire-threatened moorings.
Sawyer believes firefighters did all they could. "It was just an impossible fire to put out."
Merchants who escaped the flames agreed. They said they didn't see what else could have been done to save the block from a blaze that took only moments to get out of hand,
"The wind was not our friend," said Skip Yeager, owner of Sweeties, an ice cream and sweet goods shop that survived the fire, only losing electricity and their ice cream.
Ray, the state fire marshal, said his office will be available to work with local officials to determine what will be done to rebuild, including whether sprinklers will be needed.
Requiring sprinklers sounds good, but that cost would be exorbitant, Yeager said.
"In historic buildings it's hard to get in and retrofit walls," he said. The structure where his store is, in the 700 block of Front Street, dates to about 1842 and the materials are original.
"These floors are made out of heart of pine," Yeager said. "Some people call them 'fat lighter.' It's just full of sap. The wood has had 200 years to dry out."
The businesses either totally lost or in recovery mode include are Goudelock & Co., Limpin' Jane's, Doodlebugs, Zest restaurant, Buzz's Roost, Boardwalk Markette, Harborwalk Books, Colonial Floral Fascinations and the S.C. Maritime Museum.
Tourist engine
Back in the late 1980s Sawyer served on the Downtown Georgetown Renewal Association to work with the city and others to revitalize the historic town, which in early colonial times was one of the nation's busiest seaports.
They focused on the historic waterfront and the downtown antebellum houses behind it.
"We knew Front Street was the engine that would drive the locomotive of Georgetown," Sawyer said.
In 1989, the centerpiece of the revitalization went in: Harborwalk, a boardwalk on pilings that stretched Front Street's waterfront length.
Sawyer, 65, remembers what it was like before. Boats tied to dilapidated and rotting pilings.
With the Harborwalk, Front Street "really took off," Sawyer said. By 1993, it was lined with trendy shops, restaurants and bars. Sawyer even had a photo studio there for awhile.
Other towns and cities came to take a look, and some, such as Conway, replicated the effort, Sawyer said.
Despite Wednesday's loss of seven buildings at the center of Front Street, Sawyer is optimistic the Harborwalk will return even better.
"Right now," he said, referring to the throng of gawkers and shoppers who converged on the street Friday, "Georgetown is alive. Stores on two sides are open for business and busy."

on July 7, 2013 - 8:42 PM
With the wind behind them and sunshine breaking through, more than 500 bicyclists set off bright and early Sunday from Buffalo for the 15th annual Cycling the Erie Canal bike tour, a 400-mile trek that will end next Sunday in Albany.
The tour is sponsored by the New York State Canal Corp. and Parks & Trails New York to highlight the historic, scenic and economic attractions along the canal and to promote the two-thirds-completed Canalway Trail, which will be one of the longest recreational trails in the nation when it is finished.
A police escort accompanied the cyclists for the first of their miles as they left Nichols School on Amherst Street after registration, breakfast and a brief 7:45 a.m. kick-off ceremony. Many had camped overnight in tents on the school grounds. Rental trucks carried their gear to Sunday night's campsite at Medina Middle School.
This year's group of riders hails from 36 states and other countries as far away as Great Britain. Among them are five Boy Scouts and two scout leaders from a troop in Maryland.
The cyclists picked up the Canalway Trail and got their first glimpses of the canal in the Tonawandas. After an official rest stop at the Amherst Erie Canal Museum, they pedaled on to Lockport to view the locks and take boat tours of the canal.
The trail took them to an afternoon rest stop in Middleport's Municipal Park, then on to the school in Medina, where a computer lab and swimming in the school pool were available. After dinner at the school, Tom Grasso, president of the New York State Canal Society, gave a talk on canal history.
Today, riders will enjoy a completed section of the Canalway Trail all the way to Rochester, where they will swim and canoe at Genesee Valley Park, dine at Nazareth College and spend the night on the grounds of an elementary school in Pittsford.
Each day's itinerary covers 50 to 60 miles. After Pittsford, there are overnight stops in Seneca Falls, Syracuse, Rome, Canajoharie and Schenectady.
Riders will have a chance to take guided tours of sites such as the Women's Rights National Historical Park in Seneca Falls, the Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge, the Erie Canal Museum in Syracuse and Fort Stanwix National Monument in Rome.
Canal Corp. Director Brian U. Stratton will be cycling portions of the tour, along with other members of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo's cabinet. Stratton will take part in a media event at the midpoint of the tour in Syracuse on Wednesday.

There's a fuzz in my brain and an ache in my gut. My legs are leaden and my eyesight is blurry. But I have only myself to blame. Besides, I've been assured that these symptoms will pass. Between 10 days and three weeks from now, my body will adjust to the new regime, which entails fasting for two days each week. In the meantime, I just need to keep my eyes on the prize.
Fasting is most commonly associated with religious observation. It's the fourth of the Five Pillars of Islam. Buddhists consider it a means to practice self-control and advocate abstaining from food after the noon meal. For some Christians, temporary fasts are seen as a way of getting closer to God. But the benefits I'm hoping for are more corporeal.
The idea that fasting might be good for your health has a long, if questionable, history. Back in 1908, "Dr." Linda Hazzard, an American with some training as a nurse, wrote "Fasting for the Cure of Disease," which claimed that minimal food was the route to recovery from a variety of illnesses including cancer. Hazzard was jailed after one of her patients died of starvation. But what if she was, at least partly, right?
A new surge of interest in fasting suggests that it might indeed help people with cancer. It could also reduce the risk of developing cancer, guard against diabetes and heart disease, help control asthma and even stave off Parkinson's disease and dementia. Many of the scientists who study fasting practice what they research, and they tell me that at my age (39) it could be vital that I start now.
"We know from animal models," says Mark Mattson at the U.S. National Institute on Aging, "that if we start an intermittent fasting diet at what would be the equivalent of middle age in people, we can delay the onset of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's." Surely it's worth a try?
Until recently, most studies linking diet with health and longevity focused on calorie restriction. They have had some impressive results, with the lifespan of various lab animals lengthened by up to 50 percent after their daily calorie intake was cut in half. But these effects don't seem to extend to primates. A 23-year-long study of macaques found that although calorie restriction delayed the onset of age-related diseases, it had no impact on lifespan. So other factors such as genetics may be more important for human longevity too (Nature).
That's bad news for anyone who's gone hungry for decades in the hope of living longer, but the finding has not deterred fasting researchers. They point out that although fasting obviously involves cutting calories – at least on the fast days – it brings about biochemical and physiological changes that daily dieting does not.
Besides, calorie restriction may leave people susceptible to infections and biological stress, whereas fasting, done properly, should not. Some even argue that we're evolutionarily adapted to going without food intermittently.
"The evidence is pretty strong that our ancestors didn't eat three meals a day plus snacks," says Mattson. "Our genes are geared to being able to cope with periods of no food."
What is a fast?
As I sit here, hungry, it certainly doesn't feel like that. But researchers do agree that fasting will leave you feeling crummy in the short term because it takes time for your body to break psychological and biological habits. Less reassuring is their lack of agreement on what fasting entails. I have opted for the "5:2" diet, which allows me 600 calories in a single meal on each of two weekly "fast" days.
The normal recommended daily intake is about 2,000 calories for a woman and 2,500 for a man, and I'm allowed to eat whatever I want on the five non-fast days, underlining the fact that fasting is not necessarily about losing weight. A more draconian regimen has similar restricted-calorie "fasts" every other day. Then there's total fasting, in which participants go without food for anything from one to five days – longer than about a week is considered potentially dangerous. Fasting might be a one-off, or repeated weekly or monthly.
Different regimens have different effects on the body. A fast is considered to start about 10 to 12 hours after a meal, when you have used up all the available glucose in your blood and start converting glycogen stored in liver and muscle cells into glucose to use for energy.
If the fast continues, there's a gradual move toward breaking down stored body fat, and the liver produces "ketone bodies" – short molecules that are byproducts of the breakdown of fatty acids. These can be used by the brain as fuel. This process is in full swing three to four days into a fast. Various hormones are also affected.
For example, production of insulinlike growth factor 1 (IGF-1), drops early and reaches very low levels by day three or four. It's similar in structure to insulin, which also becomes scarcer with fasting, and high levels of both have been linked to cancer.
When it comes to treating cancer, Valter Longo, director of the Longevity Institute at the University of Southern California, thinks that short-term complete fasts maximize the benefits. He's found that a 48-hour total fast slowed the growth of five of eight types of cancer in mice, the effect tending to be more pronounced the more fasts the animals undertook (Science Translational Medicine).
Fasting is harder on cancer cells than on normal cells, he says. That's because the mutations that cause cancer lead to rapid growth under the physiological conditions in which they arose, but they can be at a disadvantage when conditions change. This could also explain why fasting combined with conventional cancer treatment provides a double whammy.
Clinical trials assessing the impact of fasting in people with cancer are ongoing. Early results are promising, says Longo, and patients in the advanced stages of cancer, who cannot wait for the results, might find it worth discussing fasting with their oncologist.
Less is more
Could fasting prevent cancers developing in the first place? Evidence is scant but there are "very good reasons" why it should, says Longo. He points out that high levels of IGF-1 and glucose in the blood, and being overweight are all risk factors for cancer, and they can all be improved by fasting. Another risk factor is insulin, says Michelle Harvie at the University of Manchester, UK.
Studying women whose family history puts them at high risk of developing breast cancer, she put half of them on a diet that involved cutting calories by about 25 percent, and half on a 5:2 fast. After six months, both groups showed a reduction in blood insulin levels, but this was greater in the fasting group. Harvie's team is now analyzing breast biopsies to see whether this translates to fewer of the genetic changes associated with increased cancer risk.
High insulin is also associated with type 2 diabetes, so perhaps it is no surprise that fasting shows promise here, too.
At the Intermountain Heart Institute, Murray, Utah, Benjamin Horne has found that a 24-hour water-only fast, once a month, raises levels of human growth hormone, which triggers the breakdown of fat for energy use, reducing insulin levels and other metabolic markers of glucose metabolism. As a result, people lost weight and their risk of getting diabetes and coronary heart disease was reduced (American Journal of Cardiology).
Alternate day fasting (with a 500-calorie lunch for women and 600-calorie one for men on fast days) has similar benefits, says Krista Varady of the University of Illinois-Chicago. She has seen improvements in people's levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, sometimes known as "bad cholesterol", and blood pressure, in volunteers eating either a low-fat or high-fat diet on "feeding" days.
For overweight people, any kind of intermittent fasting diet will probably help reduce the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular problems, says Mattson. In 2007, he found another benefit, too. He put 10 overweight people with asthma on an alternate-day incomplete fast and found that after just a few weeks their asthma symptoms improved.
Blood markers of inflammation, including C-reactive protein, also decreased, suggesting that the fast was helping to moderate their overactive immune system (Free Radical Biology and Medicine).
Whether fasting would benefit people with asthma who are in the normal weight range or those with other conditions associated with an overactive immune response, remains to be seen. There's some evidence that alternate-day fasting can lower their levels of blood fat. However, Mattson suspects that when it comes to diabetes and cardiovascular disease, fasting may not be as beneficial for people of normal weight as it is for people who are overweight, simply because they are already likely to be in pretty good shape, metabolically speaking.
Mattson has, however, identified another effect of fasting that he believes can benefit everyone: It's good for the brain.
"If you look at an animal that's gone without food for an entire day, it becomes more active," he says. "Fasting is a mild stressor that motivates the animal to increase activity in the brain." From an evolutionary perspective, this makes sense because if you are deprived of food, your brain needs to begin working harder to help you find something to eat. His studies show that alternate-day fasting, with a single meal of about 600 calories on the fast day, can boost the production of a protein called brain-derived neurotrophic factor by 50 to 400 percent, depending on the brain region.
This protein is involved in the generation of new brain cells, and plays a role in learning and memory. It can also protect brain cells from the changes associated with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's (Neurobiology of Disease).

Although originally scheduled for April 30, the trial of two men charged with murder in the death of a 29-year-old Buckhannon man may be continued, pending the ruling of Senior Status Judge John Henning.
During pre-trial conferences for Jessie Lee Heater, 29, of Buckhannon, and Robert Eugene Siron III, 30, of Weston, in Upshur County Circuit Court Thursday, Henning said he would take under advisement Upshur County Prosecuting Attorney Jake Reger's motion to continue the trial until the next term of court.
Heater and Siron are accused of murdering Joshua Oberg and have been lodged in separate regional jails since authorities arrested them in July 2012, after unearthing Oberg's body from a shallow grave along Bull Run Road in Upshur County. In January, an Upshur County grand jury indicted both Heater and Siron on murder charges; each man also was indicted on one felony count of concealment of a deceased human body and two counts of felony conspiracy.
Reger said he was seeking a continuance in light of the fact that he'd just turned the discovery over to the defense.
"I've just recently been able to provide all the discovery to the defense, and I have not received the medical examiner's report, so I think there's good cause to continue it to the next term of court," Reger said.
Heater's attorney, James Hawkins, objected to the motion for continuance and asked that the court exclude any evidence turned over beyond the discovery deadline.
"This matter has been under investigation since January 2012, and the body of the alleged victim was discovered in July 2012," Hawkins said. "Since that time, my client's been in jail continuously. We asked for discovery in a timely manner, but we did not receive it in a timely manner.
"It just seems ridiculous that (the state medical examiner's officer) could not have provided that report to Mr. Reger," Hawkins said.
"I in no way question Mr. Reger's conduct in this matter. ... However, this must be imputed to him because it's a matter of the state not providing it to him through their various agencies," he added.
Siron's attorney, Steve Nanners, similarly objected to Reger's motion for continuance. Saying his client had a right to a speedy trial, Nanners, like Hawkins, made a motion to exclude evidence the prosecution had turned over to him after the discovery deadline had passed. Nanners also pointed out Reger had chosen not to indict Siron and Heater in September 2012, but, rather, waited until January 2013.
"This is a very complicated case," Nanners said. "The discovery is 100 pages long, and Mr. Reger has not provided any early discovery."
Reger countered the matter was "complicated" since Oberg's body was found about six months after he was slain.
"This isn't a case where someone is murdered and the body's found immediately," Reger said.
Henning said he would take both sides' arguments under advisement and asked that a motion hearing be scheduled "as soon as is reasonably possible," perhaps next week.
West Virginia State Police investigators have testified they believe Rodolpho "Chino" Correa Villagomez, of Buckhannon, paid Heater $5,000 to kill Oberg after Villagomez learned that Oberg had become romantically involved with Villagomez's wife.
Troopers also have testified that Siron claimed in a statement to investigators that Heater gave him $500 and told him to keep his mouth shut in the days following Oberg's death.

He's absolutely right. Many laptops today would be perfectly suited for games given the right graphics chip. They often throw a bunch of RAM and a great processor into one but skimp on the graphics. With this you can have your portable, light laptop thats great on battery life during the day and then when you get home, you plug it in (as many people do) to an external monitor along with keyboard and mouse + this new external GPU and enjoy gaming. At my office those with laptops don't have desktop PCs often times. They plug their laptop into a docking station thats connected to a monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
Personally I think its an awesome idea. I do wish though that there was some way to make it work with the laptops LCD screen. Because if it could, it'd be a great way to be able to upgrade your laptops graphics. My laptop still has a pretty decent processor for gaming and a good amount of RAM, but its 128MB 9600 Pro is a bit dated.

Land Art Generator Initiative: Freshkills Park
Tuesday, August 6, 2013
9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.
This event repeats every week on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday between 6/27/2013 and 8/30/2013.
Please note: This event has already taken place. Please use the Search options on the right to find upcoming events.
The Land Art Generator Initiative: Freshkills Park is an exhibition of the top 25 designs selected out of 250 submissions from around the globe by artists, architects, designers, engineers, landscape architects, and more. LAGI 2012 was an ideas competition to design a site-specific public artwork that, in addition to its conceptual beauty, has the ability to harness energy cleanly from nature and convert it into electricity for the utility grid. At 2,200 acres, Freshkills Park will be almost three times the size of Central Park and the largest park developed in New York City in over 100 years. The transformation of what was formerly the world's largest landfill into a productive and beautiful cultural destination will make the park a symbol of renewal and an expression of how our society can restore balance to its landscape. The top three submissions not only heighten the beauty of the surrounding park land but also provide a gateway into a greater discussion about the preservation of the environment.

Nine-year-old Skyler Houtz, formerly of Renovo now of Lock Haven, is a profile of faith and courage as a young man on his way to beating his problematic disease.
Skyler Wool was a 22-year-old man full of energy and promise, the love of his family, taken too young by a car accident this past Saturday.
Quentin Wright, of Bald Eagle Area, is at the top of the national college wrestling world, having won the title in the 197-pound division at the NCAA championships in Des Moines, Iowa, for the Penn State Nittany Lions this past weekend.
Devin Stacey, a 17-year-old student-athlete, had his whole life in front of him before he died recently, allegedly of an overdose, just months before he was to graduate from Central Mountain High School.
The tragedy and trials, the inspiration and joys of life. Words cannot adequately express how high ... and how low ... life can be.
So we gathered a few inspirational quotes for our readers to contemplate:
"Strength is bred through adversity. Triumph is born from struggle."
-M. A. Smith
"The most beautiful people I've known are those who have known trials, have known struggles, have known loss, and have found their way out of the depths."
-Elisabeth Kibler-Ross
"Struggle is proof that you haven't been conquered, that you refuse to surrender, that victory is still possible, and that you're growing."
-Jon Walden
"Nothing is more beautiful than a smile that has struggled through tears."
-Demi Lovato
"The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty."
-Winston Churchill
And finally, a poem we found:
Here is a poem that will help inspire you:
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but don't you dare quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow-
You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out-
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit-
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

CRESSON - At halftime, Penn Cambria's A.J. Leahey knew he was closing in on Ian Vescovi's Mirror Classic boys rebound record of 14. The problem was that Vescovi's brother, Isaac, had designs on it, as well.
But the younger Vescovi deferred to his Central PA teammate.
"He told me I had nine," Leahey said with a smile. "He told me he wanted me to break it."

Blair County's Steffen Wyland finds it hard to put up a shot against Central PA's A.J. Leahey.
They both got their wish when Leahey pulled down his 15th board with 9:07 left. It was that kind of night - a night for setting new standards.
The Central PA boys all-stars didn't come into Friday night's eighth annual Mirror Classic with not just one goal in mind, but several. They managed that in not only winning but smashing the record for points in a 144-85 romp over the Blair County seniors at the Mount Aloysius College Health and Physical Fitness Center.
"The most important goal was to win. But our coach [Northern Bedford's Barry Crawford] said we had to get 36 points in every quarter to get the record," said Bishop Carroll's Scott Ranck, who netted 15 to be one of 10 Central PA players to score in double figures. "Coach wanted us to push the ball."
Leahey led the regional stars with 17 points in addition to his 17 rebounds and four blocked shots, but Johnstown's Phillip Madison took home MVP honors for Central PA with 15 points and five steals. Northern Cambria's Adam Polites tossed in 16 points for the victors.
Bellwood-Antis' Noah Davis led all scorers with 19 points on his way to being voted most valuable player for the Blair squad. Altoona's DeShae Lee chipped in with 17 points, but no other Blair star finished with more than eight.
The game actually was just an eight-point difference at the halftime after Altoona's Matt Dry connected on a pair of free throws with six seconds left in the second quarter for Blair County. Central PA, though, carried the third quarter, 41-15, and Blair never could recover, as it shot 14-for-52 in the second half and made just 2-of-21 from 3-point range.
"We were doing well. We were hitting shots. We were hitting the open man," Davis said. "Then our legs got tired, and we weren't making the shots we needed. It was tough. And they have a high-powered offense, too."
In the next eight minutes, Central PA's eight-point advantage ballooned to 29. Eleven of 12 Central PA players scored in the third quarter - only Leahey, the first-team all-state player, did not.
"We just came out on fire. Jake Close made a couple 3s. We were all making shots, and they were struggling from the field," Leahey said. "We just were clicking."
With Blair County not hitting and Leahey and company controlling the glass, Central PA was able to impose its tempo.
"We just got out and ran," said Vescovi, the Cambria Heights star who scored 14 points. "We knew our five players could beat their five players."
Madison scored 10 in the second half, when Central PA put 85 points on the board.
"It feels good to win the MVP, because I was on a team where everybody scored a thousand points," the 5-foot-7 Madison said. "It was good being able to stand out a little bit, being the smallest guy out there."
Lee had nine points in the first quarter as Blair County actually jumped out to a 16-6 lead.
"I was just looking to have one last run, since I missed half of the season [with a broken wrist]. I just wanted to go out there and make a statement," said Lee, who had a couple of dunks but was woozy after the game after getting stepped on when he fell to the floor on a blocked shot attempt. "I just wanted to make a name for myself."
The biggest thing, though, was for the players to have fun and put on a show. Vescovi thought that mission was accomplished, too.
"It was a lot of fun," Vescovi said. "It was a good way to go out."
