Trial set for man in arms case
WAILUKU - A June 3 trial is set in 2nd Circuit Court for a man who was arrested after gunshots were fired in a Waikapu neighborhood.
During his arraignment Thursday, Christopher Alvarado Hook, 37, of Waikapu pleaded not guilty to charges of first-degree reckless endangering, four counts of first-degree terroristic threatening, keeping a loaded firearm in an improper place and resisting arrest.
He is being held in lieu of $70,200 bail at the Maui Community Correctional Center, with a bail hearing scheduled for Tuesday.
Police officers responding to Wilikona Place the night of March 1 said Hook was yelling obscenities and threatening to kill the officers before a Taser was used to subdue him. Hook had reportedly used an AK-47 assault rifle to fire shots into the air before police arrived.
During his court hearing Thursday, Hook was ordered not to consume alcohol or illegal drugs. He also was ordered to have no contact with the four officers who responded to the neighborhood that night.
Store grand opening Saturday
The Maui Friends of the Library will hold the official grand opening of its used bookstore at Queen Ka'ahumanu Center from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday.
The event will feature Mayor Alan Arakawa at the blessing and ribbon-cutting ceremony at 2 p.m. There will also be cake, food, entertainment and half-priced books.
Although the store opened in November, it is now finally fully stocked with 12,000 books.
The used bookstore opened in response to the closing of Borders, Kahului's only major bookstore, a news release said.
Staffed by 35 volunteers, the store sells books for $1 and up. Proceeds help raise funds for the Maui Friends of the Library, which assists special programs and supplies other needs for Maui County libraries.
Property assessments in mail
Maui County real property assessment notices will be mailed to property owners today, the county Real Property Tax Division announced.
The notice will show the net taxable value of land and (if applicable) improvements, the amount of allowed exemptions, the person who received the exemption and the classification assigned to the property. Property owners are encouraged to carefully review the document.
If a property owner disagrees with the assessment, general land class or exemption shown on the notice, the owner may file an appeal with the Board of Review. The appeal deadline is April 9, and the filing fee is $75. Appeal forms may be obtained at the Real Property Tax Office or at www.mauipropertytax.com.
The assessment notice is not a bill.
Residents who prefer a paperless version for next year's notice may go to the website shown on the assessment notice and enter the code that appears on the card.
Those not receiving an assessment notice or with questions may contact the division by phone at 270-7297, in person or view assessment information online at www.mauipropertytax.com.
The Real Property Tax Office is located at Maui Mall on the Safeway side of the mall, 70 E. Kaahumanu Ave., Suite A-16.
Truck fire disrupts traffic flow
A vehicle fire near Mile Marker 14 along Honoapiilani Highway on Thursday afternoon disrupted traffic for about 45 minutes.
At about 2:40 p.m., firefighters responded to a report of a vehicle fire. Upon arrival, they extinguished the fire involving an unoccupied pickup truck with no license plates and a small brush fire nearby, said fire spokesman Capt. Paul Haake.
There were reports of an occupant in the vehicle prior to the fire but no driver was located, he said. There were no injuries.
The fire caused a road closure of at least 45 minutes with a period of alternating one-lane traffic.
The cause of the fire was undermined, Haake said.
Red Cross to host Hats Off fundraiser
The Hawaii Chapter of the American Red Cross will hold its annual Hats Off fundraising event from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. today through Sunday at Walmart and at other locations in Kahului and Hana and on Molokai on Saturday.
Off-duty firefighters, service members and other volunteers will take their hats off and ask the public to fill them with donations for the Red Cross.
On Saturday, donations also will be solicited from 9 a.m to 3 p.m. at Whole Foods Market at the Maui Mall as well as at Hasegawa General Store in Hana and at Friendly Market on Molokai. Donations also may be made online at www.hawaiiredcross.org. Checks may be sent to the American Red Cross, 45 N. Market St., Suite A, Wailuku 96793.
"In Maui County, our Red Cross volunteers respond to everyday disasters like house fires and floods, providing emergency assistance and emotional support to those affected," said Michele Liberty, Maui Red Cross county director. "Because we are not a government agency, we rely on the generosity and aloha from the people in Maui County to help us provide these critical services for our community."

NEW CUMBERLAND, W.Va. - Five days after a fight marred the Oak Glen-Weir High football game, the Golden Bears have an interim coach.
Oak Glen High School Principal Barbara Logue said offensive coordinator Jason Kekseo has been named interim coach, but she would not discuss the status of head coach Ian Whittington.
"No one got fired," she said. "(Kekseo) is going to lead the football team for the next four games."
Logue met with Superintendent Suzan Smith on Tuesday to discuss the results of her investigation into the melee that followed Friday night's game and said Smith accepted her recommendations. She would not elaborate.
Logue said Whittington, a 2003 Oak Glen graduate who was in his second year as head coach, will continue his duties as a physical education teacher at the high school.
An Oak Glen football player also was disciplined, but, again, Logue declined to discuss details.
Smith also declined comment, saying she was prohibited from speaking because it was a personnel matter.
Weir High football coach Tony Filberto said he was not aware of any Weir students or coaches being disciplined.
Asked about his status as head coach, Filberto said, "We're practicing for Friday's game. ... We walked off the field Friday night and immediately started practicing for week seven. We tell our kids, 'When you walk on the field on Monday, whatever happened on Friday is over - win or lose.'"
Kekseo came on staff with the Golden Bears as Whittington's offensive coordinator at the start of the new school year. He was head coach at Weir High for the 2011 season, when the Red Riders went 1-9. He was succeeded in 2012 by Filberto, who had been head coach at Oak Glen.
Filberto's Golden Bears lost to Kekseo's Red Riders in 2011 by a score of 6-48.
Weir High School Principal Dan Enich could not be reached for comment. Whittington did not return phone calls seeking comment.

Water project gets $50K
December 6, 2013
The Lycoming County commissioners awarded $50,000 of natural gas drilling impact funds to the Montgomery Water and Sewer Authority Thursday....
How nice for the Sewer Authority but what about the roads in the gas drilling areas....I think that th impact funds should be spent there s well. I see the City of Williamsport getting rich off of the impact funds and to*****with the outlying areas where the gas drilling is ruining our lives as well as our roads.

The 8 Most Shameless Attempts to Cash in on 9/11
"We Shall Never Forget 9/11: The Kids' Book of Freedom" (Coloring Book)
Really Big Coloring Books, who apparently forgot how to read their own company's name, decided that "terrorist attacks" and "someone being shot in the face while hiding behind a woman" fit in their catalog between "Dinosaurs!" and "Horses!"
Really Big Coloring Books
The book outraged pretty much everyone who knows what coloring books are but doesn't still use them. Publisher Wayne Bell insists that the word "Muslim" is never used in the book, which is technically true because it's always part of the longer phrase "radical Islamic Muslim extremist," which is used several times. In an astounding display of either balls or illiteracy, neither of which should be involved in a book for kids, he makes this "no-Muslim" claim on the same page of his own website as sample pages involving that phrase.
There's another page where kids are meant to color a child crying against a wall of death notices, complete with mugshots. That's perfect if you want your kid to spend an hour choosing skin colors for beloved martyrs of terrorist attacks, in which case you might want to skip to training them in marksmanship and body disposal. But of course it won't take them that long to choose colors because anyone making their kid do this would only let them color heroes in white and blond. The (childrens' coloring) book concludes that "These attacks will change the way America deals with and views the Islamic and Muslim people around the world." Nothing has been so horribly repackaged for children since candy in unmarked vans.
9/11 & the War on Terror: The Cartoon
A gang of multi-ethnic kids, anti-terrorism and a time-traveling bike with a computer in it: That's a recipe for the coolest cartoon of all time, as long as you take the precaution of not using real terrorism. But Mike Huckabee is too patriotic for precautions!
TimeCycle Academy
And stealing helmets from Space Marines is pretty patriotic.
He's also too patriotic to rent computers built after the invention of the transistor. Necromancers have animated more natural-looking children, and the results have maintained more brain activity. The "TimeCycle Academy" series is about a group of incredibly Republican children who invent a time machine and then, in a spectacular dick move even for kids, travel back in time to just look at 9/11 instead of preventing it. You keep expecting Scooby-Doo to turn up and pull bin Laden's face mask off, then ask, "Why am I even more poorly animated than usual, Raggy?" And if he'd gone on to actually discuss terrorism with his stoner buddy, it still would have been more respectful than this.
Calling these videos biased is like calling an aircraft carrier a bad roommate: true, but missing the titanic scale of the errors required for that insanity to happen. In another episode, a Southern Baptist conservative has his kids travel back in time to meet their savior, the embodiment of hope made flesh on Earth, and it's Ronald Reagan.
TimeCycle Academy
A Ronald Reagan who could double as Krang.
Exploding Tower Lighter
The Terrorist Lighter unfortunately isn't SEAL Team 6's pet name for flamethrowers.
The raised chrome bin Laden looks like a liquid metal Terrorist-1000, probably the only worse misuse of technology than this product, while an engraved "9_11" means even the blind know it's horrific. When you use it, a red LED lights up the explosion of the first crash and electrically confirms that, yes, you are going to hell. It then plays computerized Mozart. Because reducing an orchestral symphony to a zero-cent screeching sound chip doesn't even count as desecration at this point.
The only upside is that this will never arrive in America because it's an electrical circuit connected to a tank of flammable liquid. So anyone trying to carry one across an American border will be Tazed until he catches fire.
Space Invaders Destroy the Twin Towers
Douglas Edric Stanley commemorated Space Invaders' 30th birthday by by combining the game with the destruction of the Twin Towers. We can't confirm if his next project is a Pac-Man version of ebola, but only because he's been milking the 9/11 thing for 10 years -- he made the first version the month of the attack. Just in case you thought it was thoughtful reflection in art instead of a desperate lunge for attention.
His 8-bit adaptation features the unstoppable aliens demolishing the Twin Towers as the player flails (it's motion controlled to make sure everyone involved looks like a goddamned idiot), complete with pixelated victims leaping to their doom. He even reprogrammed the game with suicide-crashing space invaders. So no, '80s cartoon porn isn't the only the only way technology can ruin your childhood.
If you're not sure how a previously unknown artist could profit from sudden international controversy, wow, welcome to the modern world. Invaders! was shown off at the 2008 Games Convention in Leipzig, after seven years of work, and turned off a few days later, after the rest of the world heard about it. Taito threatened to sue the artist directly and the entire convention besides, and it was their own most popular game's birthday party.
Douglas then released his next work, a bold re-interpretation of the word "douchebag" in the modern poetic form of non-apology. "The American response to this work has been, frankly, immature, and lacking the sophistication and consideration that other parts of the world have so far shown this work." Sophistication and maturity are odd concepts for someone who just made an exercise video game about murder. This considerate artist has brought the same level of depth, reflection and desperation for attention to his latest project: a camera app based on an Internet meme about cats.
Luke McKinney also tumbles and has a website.

Tweets Provide New Way to Gauge TV Audiences
Data Show Differences Between Social-Media Service's Users, Mass-Market Viewers
CBS Corp.'s "The Big Bang Theory" and "NCIS" are among the most-watched shows on television, with upward of 20 million viewers each. But in Nielsen's new ranking of programs with the greatest reach on Twitter, they aren't even in the top 10.
The Nielsen data, which will be published for the first time Monday, provides new details on the number of tweets about TV shows and the size of the audience that sees them. It highlights that the programs that generate the most Twitter activity often aren't the ones with the highest viewership.
For TV networks and advertisers looking to exploit the buzz about TV shows on Twitter, the data are a reminder that the social-media service's user base has a very different makeup than the mass-market TV-viewing audience that marketers spend tens of billions of dollars each year to reach. Twitter's 49.2 million U.S. users generally skew younger and are disproportionately in cities, for example, according to marketers and media analysts.
Still, marketers see potential value in knowing which shows have Twitter enthusiasts. For some, it is becoming a factor when they purchase TV time: The theory is that if fans are engaged on Twitter that "means the ads are also being paid attention to," said Steve Kalb, director of video investment at Mullen, an advertising firm owned by Interpublic Group IPG 1.18 % of Cos. Mr. Kalb said the approach is still in the "experimental" phase.
The stakes are high for Twitter, which is under the spotlight of an initial public offering of stock and has identified TV-related ad spending as a crucial revenue driver. The company has joined with several TV networks through its Amplify program, in which short video clips are distributed on Twitter with ads embedded. Another service allows marketers to target Twitter users who have seen one of their ads on TV.
"If your show is creating conversations on Twitter, it is more valuable, and you should get credit for that," said Rachael Horwitz, a spokeswoman for Twitter, which provided information to Nielsen to help create the new Twitter TV ratings. In its IPO filing, Twitter said its revenue doubled in the year's first six months to $254 million, compared with a year earlier. The company isn't profitable.
Some shows are hits both on social media and in the TV ratings. The much-anticipated finale of the AMC drama "Breaking Bad" was No. 1 in the Twitter TV ratings for the week of Sept. 23, with 9.3 million unique users seeing tweets about the show, and had the sixth-highest TV rating in the key demographic of 18- to 49-year-old viewers, according to Nielsen.
Facebook Inc., FB 0.14 % which also is trying to carve out a role in the TV world, has said it will distribute a weekly report to major broadcasters showing the chatter and activity on the social network that is related to their TV shows.
Some programs—live events and competition shows such as NBC's "The Voice"—simply lend themselves to social-media activity, industry analysts say.
But many shows with mass-market appeal don't have as much traction on Twitter. CBS had five of the top 10 shows on TV during the week of Sept. 23, including the hit situation-comedy "Big Bang Theory" and "The Crazy Ones," a new comedy starring Robin Williams. None of those was in the top 10 of the Twitter TV ratings.
At an industry event in Beverly Hills this summer, CBS Chief Research Officer David Poltrack said "word of mouth" interactions about TV mostly still occur face to face, not on social media. He said that while Twitter's importance is growing and CBS is "immersing" itself in it, "right now it is focused on a small segment of the population."
CBS last month agreed to participate in Twitter's Amplify program. "We continue to work with all of the leading social networks to extend the fan experience of our shows," the company said in a written statement Friday.
Nielsen says the number of people tweeting about TV was 19 million in the second quarter, up 24% over the year-earlier period. Some TV executives have begun including Twitter statistics in pitches to advertisers. But for many on Madison Avenue, it is still unclear how much Twitter buzz should factor into their ad-buying strategy.
There is "still so much more research that has to be done to understand the value of it," said Ari Bluman, chief digital investment officer of GroupM, a media-buying arm of advertising firm WPP WPPGY 0.32 % PLC. "If a show is social does that mean it helps or hurts the advertisers? We are continuing to investigate," he said.
Many ad buyers say that despite Twitter's growing user base, the number of people tweeting about a particular show can be small. "Twitter's overall footprint is relatively small so that is problematic," said David Cohen, chief media officer at UM, a media-buying firm owned by Interpublic Group of Cos.
Aflac Inc. said it intends to test Twitter's TV ad products next year but hasn't made the leap yet. "We are a national company and our sales come from the suburban market more so than the metropolitan areas, where [Twitter's] strength lies," said Michael Zuna, chief marketing officer of the insurer.
"I have got a mass-market brand and our most important customers aren't in the major metro markets," he said.

What comment was that?
He said the owners were ranch owners and players and employees like himself were the cattle, and without the ranch owners they'd be out of work.
Conveniently when the comment was printed by most media outlets or read out on TV they left off the tidbit where he refers to himself as cattle and edited it so it looks like he was only referring to the players.
I doubt Ownership felt embarrassed by it at all, in fact I think every owner out there was probably nodding in agreement. Illitch probably even paid the fine for him.

MWVs 4,500-acre community called Nexton has taken a major step toward its goal to become the most technologically advanced community in the region.
In partnership with Home Telecom, MWV leadership announced last week that Nexton is the first Gigabit community in the state.
This means that everyone at Nexton - businesses, schools, medical facilities, libraries, commercial enterprises, and residents - will have access to the fastest, highest capacity internet service in the state, said Ken Seeger, president of MWV Community Development and Land Management. The FCC has challenged communities throughout the nation to make this commitment, because there are such compelling benefits to having Gigabit capacity.
We are proud to be the first South Carolina community to meet that challenge.
Located at the intersection of I-26 and Highway 17A, Nexton has already been chosen as the future home base for the South Carolina Research Authority (SCRA).
We believe that our commitment to be South Carolinas most technologically advanced community helped attract SCRA to Nexton, along with other enterprises that recognize the advantages of being part of an innovative community, Seeger said.
There are three distinct advantages of Gigabit Internet service. First, its broader bandwidth accommodates the ever-increasing amount of data that travels over the Internet. Second, it is faster as much as 100 times faster than average Internet services today. And finally, it is symmetrical which enables users to send information at the same speed at which they receive it. Presently, on average, uploading information to the Internet in South Carolina is only one-fifth as fast as downloading information.
Nextons Gigabit service is called GigaFi, and will be powered by Home Telecom.
As a Fortune 500 company, we were able to talk with many of the nations leading Internet providers, MWVs Seeger noted. And, frankly, none of them showed us a level of innovation and customer service to match South Carolinas own home-grown company, Home Telecom, headquartered in Moncks Corner.
Internet providers frequently boast about their fiber optic networks, said William S. Helmly, Home Telecom President and COO. But what they dont tell you is that while those fiber networks may be in your neighborhood, their connections to your business or home are much slower because they are non-fiber. And, since a chain is only as strong as its weakest link, you end up not getting the benefit of fiber-optic speed. GigaFi, on the other hand, will provide the widest bandwidth, highest speed Internet through a fiber-optic connection running directly into every home or office in Nexton. Nothing like it is being routinely offered in this state.
Reliance on the Internet is growing exponentially. What until recently was emails and Google searches has quickly become a robust environment of videos, streaming TV programs, complex interactive games, uploading to the cloud and an explosion of social media. Innovative new Internet protocols are being developed daily in the fields of home security, healthcare, education, public safety, transportation and commerce.
With GigaFis unique Gigabit power at Nexton, companies will be able to conduct business on the Internet and attract customers with interactive functionality supported by ultra-fast Internet speeds and reliability. Home-based businesses will be able to receive real-time access with virtual-presence videoconferencing and rapid file transfers. And there will be access to affordable and high capacity online storage in the cloud.
Homeowners will have affordable access to a 1 Gbps One Gig connection from the day they move in. This offers unparalleled entertainment through Ultra High Definition IPTV and advanced gaming functionality. They will be able to stream and download (and upload) music and videos more rapidly, connect more with family and friends, manage their energy consumption, remotely control lighting and security systems, and monitor and control health care solutions.
Students will be able to interact and collaborate with educational institutions and intellectual resources anywhere.
Businesses will have access to gigabit speeds from the day they open their doors. Health care providers will be able to quickly share large data-rich files, where seconds can save lives. They will be able to expand telemedicine and provide support for compliance with ACA mandates.
And access to a Gigabit community has numerous benefits in the areas of public safety (fire and police) and infrastructure (traffic management, etc.).
MWV released a statement from South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley congratulating the company on this announcement.
From day one we have focused on creating good jobs for South Carolina and an innovative and advanced communications network is exactly what attracts and grows successful businesses, said Governor Nikki Haley. MWV and Home Telecom have set a great example and I am hopeful that many other communities will want to follow their lead.

The boys had to use the really big spoons for their cereal today. Which they ate in fancy salad bowls.
A couple weeks ago I finally snapped and guess what? NOW I am getting a dishwasher!
My friend Love (yes that is her name isn't it lovely?) was having a big sale to raise funds to bring home her two babies from Uganda. And Sarah saw the dishwasher and they all thought of me right away!
And the best part? Ok, one of the best parts... it matches my fridge!
Think of all the time I will have now.
But, I still like to get my chores done before I play so I better get washing. We're out of spoons.

Mayor, Crosscutters want renovations at Bowman Field
February 15, 2013
City leaders are considering major renovations for the 86-year-old city-owned Bowman Field, but it will require adding financing that adds to the city debt and would need approval by City Council....
I live near Bowman Field and recall not all that long ago renovation was done to the outside of the structure, in fact I believe it was done after the first "haunted" attraction. I may just have a suspicious mind, but I have to agree with another comment here, it's a bit too coincidental that the hockey experiment failed and expenses were left unpaid and suddenly the facility is in such a state of disrepair that hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of "repairs" are needed. City leaders need to get their priorities straight, there are more important and relevant things taxpayer dollars should be spent on.

If the statdium is a money maker for the city then the city should have had an account set up using these "profits" to help with improvements. If the park is not a money maker, then forget it. These are tough times and gonna get tougher. Our regular gas is 4.15 per gallon her in So. California and it will be that much in Williamsport in 6 months I reckon. 5.00 gas? How many folks will be buying Crosscutter tickets when they are paying $4.00 to $5.00 per gallon for regular gas?

Come on Billtown you're own paper the great "Sun-Gazette"**** will not even cover the WAHS boys Basketball team any more except for a few lines.They want to sell the big time crap and make money.Think about it Billtown... you don't and NEVER will have that Big time team for any sport that will make you money in this town !!!

This must come to an end. These teams hold a gun to the head of local governments to build new stadiums or spend outrageous sums of taxpayer money to host a team. Pay up or we (teams) are gone.
We, the taxpayers of Williamsport, have dumped millions of dollars into a decrepit facility that benefits a small percentage of the populous and benefits a mediocre team with marginal attendance (unless sponsored with free tickets to bolster attendance figures).
As with the dismal failure of the Hockey "experiment", this Mayor and Council should be held accountable.
Our streets and infrastructure are falling apart far faster than Bowman Field. If you (Mayor and Council) are going to spend money how about street improvements for a start?

This is beyond words, almost as bad as the county prision article. How about the clown step on down and invest in the safety of the city? If there is money for ball field improvements at the cost to city taxpayers, then this city council can hire some more walking, proactive, visible police officers to combat the nonviolent 'law abiding' citizens left to walk out of the county prison. Are these articles for real?

my reaction to this article was the same reaction as most folks responding here. the fbomb flew and my mind went crazy because.. williamsport just raised taxes what, a 2 mill hike because,,, they cant afford jack...yet, they want citizens to pay for repairs to an ailing field and stadium thats been ailing for YEARS?? i read not too long ago that people seldom go to these games, its not a packed stadium, and now im reading people dont even pay for them? oh, city of williamsport you really need to focus your attention on more important things. we the people are going to get pist and you may be out of a job next time

*By the secnod part of my last comment, I mean I'd care more about what renovations were needed. I'm not currently in favor of them.
To Learntoswim, yes I think you're the only one. Because it shouldn't be a priority. This isn't a city like Pittsburgh or New York or Boston where we got money coming out of our ears from Sports revenue. We have more important issues that need attention. This is a Class A Philadelphia Phillies team that absolutely *****.

Purely as a fan...I might care more if the team in Williamsport was affiliated with the Pirates.
Beyond being a fan, as a tax payer, I'd care more if I thought this should be in any way, shape or form on anyone's priority list.

I asked over 30 people that go to the Crosscutters games and NOT one of them have ever paid to go them. They only go on pack the park nights. So if they didnt have companies paying for those tickets the Cutters would have packed up 12 years ago

Is the photo from one of the free nights? Nice photo of a rare packed house helps the optics of this issue. the nights I have ever attended usually involved a sparce crowd, but posting something like that wouldn't help the mayor and crosscutter needs..

Am I the only on that sees this as an effort to do two things - make a nicer ballpark to ensure at least one sport in Williamsport that is supported by residents, as well as hide ice rink damage cost that exceeds the bond the city required?

Wow. I seriously cannot believe this. I have an idea! How about we put the prisoners that we have no room for at the County onto the project of fixing up the field. I am sure they can all be trained to scrape and paint.

It seems like they just fix that field up not to long ago, and for concerts that became a issue becasuse of insurance cost. I thought the new arena would be for concerts? (Remember the last good concert at Bowman Field? "THREE DOG NIGHT") getting old.

I'm not quite sure whether to agree or disagre with you erik.. because it's hard to read whether or not your for or against the Mayor on this in your second paragraph.

I am BEGGING YOU Let the city citizens vote on this! I GUARANTEE this gets rejected and we all tell the City Council and Mayor to go **** themselves. Are you f*****g kidding me? There are so many more important things that need done. It's time for Campana to GTFO!

It is incest.
At all levels of sports, the teams and politicians collude to waste taxpayer money.
If these teams were actually left to fend for themselves, the venues would be smaller, less elaborate and ticket prices would be higher.
I do not want to subsidize another person's entertainment.
7 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
My goodness! There are a lot of city streets, curbs and sidewalks that COULD use some attention. I could never understand why these professional sports teams can't foot the bill for their own agenda. With these challenging times locally is this really a priority for our city? The waste of money for those "street cameras" really paid off, we're still in the same situation with that we were without them! I'm sure the Phillies have enough revenue to renovate and repair their own stadium.

DALLAS - The end of any season brings a sense of finality.
Penn State's 30-14 loss to Houston in the TicketCity Bowl on Monday brought more than that: It brought the end of an era for Nittany Lion football as we know it.
Joe Paterno was fired Nov. 9, and his staff finished out the season. It, along with the Nittany Nation, now awaits the decision of Athletic Director Dave Joyner on the next head coach.
Not only were players hugging in an emotional scene afterward, they were embracing members of the coaching staff, most of whom likely worked their final game for PSU.
It hit everyone when they trudged from the field and up the Cotton Bowl tunnel to the locker room.
"Whenever you walked in and saw your seniors these guys are going [and] who knows what's going to happen to the rest of us?" offensive coordinator Galen Hall said. "You're going to miss those guys, and you're sorry it turned out this way for them."
Tom Bradley presided over a team prayer and thanked the players, coaches and managers for their dedication.
"Obviously, we're going to have a new football coach," he said. "It's going to be new for a lot of people."
The Jerry Sandusky scandal, which triggered Paterno's dismissal, has taken the entire team on a roller coaster - "to hell and back," quarterbacks coach Jay Paterno said - and the coaches, while wondering what the future holds, were more concerned about the players.
"I feel for our kids," Jay Paterno said. "They did nothing."
Defensive line coach Larry Johnson shared the sentiment.
"It's the end of an era because we know change is finally going to get here," he said. "That's what I reflected walking off the field. My passion is for the players in that locker room - how they're going to recover and move forward. That's my concern, not me."
Johnson has been a father figure to many of the team's African-American players and one of the most valuable assistants Penn State has ever had. He will have offers, but he said he will work with the other assistants on solidifying recruiting commitments until the search is finalized.
"What I've tried not to do is worry about what the next job is," he said.
The returning underclassmen are also eager for resolution. Junior defensive tackle Jordan Hill has submitted his NFL paperwork for a draft evaluation and has until Jan. 15 to declare.
"It's definitely a concern," he said. "You don't know what's going to happen. Hopefully, we find out sometime this week."
For now, though, the players felt badly that they didn't play their best game, which would have given them a chance to at least hang with Houston.
Instead, they started slowly and fell behind 17-0. They couldn't rattle Cougar quarterback Case Keenum or cover his receivers. Nor could they overcome Rob Bolden's inability to function at even an acceptable upper-Division I level.
But the performance was not, Justin Brown said, a product of all the off-the-field issues over the past two months.
"I don't think the distractions got to us," Brown said. "We were used to them."
Indeed, and that seemed to bring closer together a unit that was victimized unfairly by a sickening ordeal that will define 2011 way longer than anyone will remember the 9-4 record.
"It was sad to see the seniors go out with a loss," Hill said. "They were extraordinary leaders, and not just the captains - every senior."
Monday's merciful ending, Hill said, "will definitely take some stress off us with the circumstances that happened, but this is the hardest team to let go of because we were so close. When you go through adversity and it doesn't break you, it makes you stronger."
Hill sounded as if he's leaning toward returning because, "I want to go to the Rose Bowl," and he knows he'll be part of a nucleus that will include Brown, Silas Redd and Gerald Hodges.
"Once we get back to offseason training, we're going harder than we ever have," he said. "We're pushing guys harder. Our goal is to get out to Cali[fornia] and a national championship."
The coaching staff will miss that resolve.
"I think the one good thing that's come out of this is the character that our kids have really shown to everybody throughout," Jay Paterno said.
Hall, a coaching veteran since the 1960s, thought he had seen and been through everything until he went through this.
He was asked what it will take for the university to overcome it.
"Time," he said softly. "It's going to take time."
To that end, today marks the first day in the next life of the Penn State football program.
