The landscape of downtown Williamsport is forever changing, and with the opening this past week of the Residence Inn Marriott, the city will be able to accommodate more visitors.
"I think this is an absolute beautiful addition to Williamsport," said Lycoming County Commissioner Ernest Larson, as he and other community leaders gathered for ribbon-cutting ceremonies Wednesday.
Larson said the hotel at 150 W. Church St. is a much-needed, modern facility that will lodge people coming to Williamsport for Little League and other purposes.

This photograph, taken Wednesday afternoon just prior to the grand opening of the Residence Inn Williamsport, shows the entrance to the front lobby at right and the courtyard between wings of the hotel.
The 97-room, four-floor hotel located next to Kohl's also represents economic development for the city, according to Williamsport Mayor Gabriel J. Campana.
The mayor thanked developer George Tsunis, who was reportedly out of the country and not at the ceremony, for making the project happen.
"It adds economic development and jobs to the city," he said.
The hotel, a $11.4 million project, offers first-class accommodations, noted Lycoming County Commissioner Jeff Wheeland.
"It's a great asset to Lycoming County," he said.
Jennifer Locey, vice president of operations for Chartwell Hotels, the hotel's management company, said the building was designed for long-term guests.
It includes a fitness room, a pool, laundry facilities, a full breakfast area, and a meeting room.
She said the rooms are much bigger than most hotel rooms.
"Our suites have full kitchens," said hotel general manager Holly Kremser.
Tsunis commented last year that while most hotels tend to be "lower to middle end," the new Marriott would be a "high end hotel."
Phones already were "ringing off the hook" Wednesday from people looking to stay at the hotel.
Chartwell Hotels President Rob McCarthy said 20 to 25 hospitality personnel will work at the new Marriott.
"We're proud to be growing jobs in Williamsport," he said.
The hotel is within easy walking distance of many downtown restaurants and stores.
Bounded on the north by West Fourth Street, it is located less than a block from Wegman's supermarket to the west and a block from the county courthouse to the east.
It represents yet another hotel addition to the city.
"It makes Williamsport look better and better as each day goes by," Larson said.
Williamsport-Lycoming Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Vincent J. Matteo said the hotel is another building block for local economic revitalization.
"There's a lot more to come," said Matteo. "We appreciate the investment."

Correct me if I'm wrong but the $2.3 number comes with accepting Alfies whole $5.5 right? Only $3.5 should be counted up front so technically shouldn't our number be closer
to $4.3 right now? I'm totally with you on Samuelsson!!
Nope, you're correct. I didn't account for bonuses. So 4.3 it is

The A-List: 10 things you need to know
April 1, 2014
10 Things You Need to Know About the American Hockey League This Week
AHL Standings || Scores and Schedules || League Leaders || Daily Playoff Primer
1. Playoffs in sight
It's the start of April, and the AHL standings are beginning to show signs that the Calder Cup Playoffs are near.
The Texas Stars, who on Mar. 23 became the first team to clinch a 2014 playoff berth, successfully defended their division championship by securing the West Division title on Sunday. The Stars, with a league-best 95 points, are now eyeing the #1 seed in the Western Conference, a position they held last season also.
Grand Rapids and Manchester clinched playoff spots on Friday night, with the Griffins poised to defend their Calder Cup championship and the Monarchs heading to the postseason for the 12th time in their 13-year history.
Toronto, Chicago and Springfield are next in line, and could all punch their playoff tickets this week.
2. Checkers march up the West
The Charlotte Checkers could not have been too happy when they looked at the AHL standings on the morning of March 1. The Checkers were in 14th place, tied for the fewest points in the Western Conference and sitting nine points out of the eighth spot.
Four weeks later, things are looking much brighter in the Queen City.
After playing 16 games in 30 days, the Checkers find themselves tied for seventh place in the Western Conference, four points on the right side of the line separating playoff-bound teams from those who will head home for the summer when the regular season ends on Apr. 20.
Charlotte won 12 of its 16 games during March, closing out the month with a pair of dramatic shootout wins over Oklahoma City that put some breathing room between the Checkers and the ninth-place Barons.
Zach Boychuk, the CCM/AHL Player of the Month for March, led all league scorers with 22 points (9-13-22) in Charlotte's 16 games. The Checkers were 12-0-0-0 when he recorded a point, 0-4-0-0 when he didn't.
Chris Terry (10-10-20), Brett Sutter (7-8-15), Aaron Palushaj (4-9-13) and Michal Jordan (1-12-13) all had big offensive months for the Checkers also, and John Muse went 9-1-0 (2.05, .938) between the pipes.
Charlotte can continue to pull away from the pack this weekend when it visits Oklahoma City for rematches with the Barons on Saturday and Sunday.
3. Marlies go for three
Up by 18 points with nine games left, the Toronto Marlies are on the brink of what would be a historic third consecutive North Division championship.
The Marlies are poised to become just the sixth team in AHL history with three straight first-place finishes.
The Springfield Indians were the first to accomplish the feat, finishing first in a one-division league in 1959-60 and 1960-61 before topping the East Division in 1961-62. The Indians also won the Calder Cup in each of those three seasons.
The Quebec Aces (1964, 1965, 1966) won three straight Eastern Division titles, and the Hershey Bears duplicated the feat in 1967, 1968 and 1969.
The Philadelphia Phantoms won the Mid-Atlantic Division in each of their first three seasons of existence (1997, 1998, 1999), while the Rochester Americans finished first in 1999, 2000 and 2001.
Toronto won the North Division in 2012 before going on to the Calder Cup Finals, and successfully defended its regular-season title in 2013.
4. Midwest is best
After sending only two of its five teams to the postseason each of the last two seasons, the AHL's Midwest Division is poised to see four teams qualify for the Calder Cup Playoffs this spring.
Grand Rapids, last year's regular-season division champion before going on to win the Calder Cup, has clinched a playoff berth and sits six points ahead of Chicago, although the Wolves have two games in hand on the Griffins.
Chicago and Grand Rapids have finished their head-to-head season series, but the Wolves' final nine games are all against the rest of their Midwest Division opponents, with four meetings left against Milwaukee, three versus Iowa and two against Rockford. The Wolves are three points away from securing a playoff berth, and will soon be setting their sights on a top-4 seed in the Western Conference.
Milwaukee, 9-3-0-1 in its last 13 games, enters April sixth in the conference as it looks to extend its active streak to 12 consecutive postseason appearances. The Admirals also need to win eight of their last nine games for an 11th straight 40-win campaign.
Rockford, seventh in the Western Conference (tied with Charlotte but with one game in hand), is vying for its first trip to the playoffs since 2010.
5. O'Neill hot in spurts
Second-year pro Brian O'Neill of the Manchester Monarchs led all AHL skaters with 12 goals and tied for fifth with 15 points during the month of March. And while he played 10 games during the month of March, all of his offense actually came in half that time.
O'Neill's 15 points came courtesy of five separate three-point efforts, which also included two hat tricks and three other two-goal games.
O'Neill, who scored three goals and totaled 15 points in 49 games as a rookie with Manchester in 2012-13, picked up his first career hat trick on Mar. 7 vs. Adirondack, and duplicated the feat a week later (Mar. 14) vs. Bridgeport. O'Neill then notched two goals and an assist on Mar. 22 at Springfield and again in back-to-back games Mar. 28 vs. Worcester and Mar. 29 at Portland.
6. Sommer sets mark
Roy Sommer coached his 1,257th American Hockey League game on Mar. 26, the most ever in the 78-year history of the league.
Sommer passed Hockey Hall of Famer Frank Mathers when he guided the Worcester Sharks to a 5-3 win over Portland at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston, Maine.
Sommer, 56, was named the head coach of San Jose's AHL affiliate on May 28, 1998, and has spent the last 16 seasons at the helm of the Kentucky Thoroughblades (1998-2001), Cleveland Barons (2001-06) and Worcester Sharks (2006- ). The Oakland, Calif., native has coached 104 players who have gone on to make their NHL debuts, including 80 who spent a portion of their careers in San Jose.
Sommer, whose total at week's end stood at 1,259 games, is by far the active leader in that category, with more than twice as many AHL games coached as Chicago's John Anderson (627) and Manchester's Mark Morris (621)
7. LeNeveu, Wolf Pack get first shutouts
One of two teams in the AHL without a shutout on the season, the Hartford Wolf Pack made up for lost time with back-to-back whitewashes of their in-state rivals over the weekend.
With David LeNeveu in net, the Wolf Pack blanked Bridgeport, 4-0, on Saturday night at the XL Center, then traveled down to the Webster Bank Arena and took a 3-0 decision from the Sound Tigers on Sunday afternoon. They were the 10th and 11th shutouts of LeNeveu's AHL career, and the franchise's first shutouts since Cam Talbot blanked Worcester just over one year earlier on Mar. 28, 2013.
With Hartford now off the schneid, the only team in the AHL without a shutout this season remains the Rockford IceHogs -- whose starting goaltender, Jason LaBarbera, owns the AHL record for shutouts in a season (13 in 2003-04).
8. Rookie scoring race heats up
Curtis McKenzie remains where he has been most of the season -- at the top of the AHL rookie scoring list -- but the Texas Stars forward has some company as the regular season winds down.
McKenzie (22-37-59) is tops among AHL rookies in assists and points; his 37th assist on Saturday night finally pushed him past Ryan Strome, who had 13-36-49 in 37 games with Bridgeport before rejoining the New York Islanders on Feb. 24.
Grand Rapids forward Teemu Pulkkinen is first among rookies with 30 goals and second with 55 points in 64 games, while Providence's Alexander Khokhlachev, the CCM/AHL Rookie of the Month for March, put up 17 points in 12 games last month and is now third in rookie scoring with 19-34-53.
Chicago's Ty Rattie is second to Pulkkinen with 29 goals, followed by Binghamton's Matt Puempel (26), Portland's Tobias Rieder (24) and Milwaukee's Colton Sissons (24).
9. Kobasew rolling
In the AHL for the first time since 2005, Chuck Kobasew scored a goal in each of his first six games with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, authoring the longest goal-scoring streak in the AHL this season.
Kobasew, who made his Pens debut on Mar. 14, was finally held off the scoresheet by Norfolk on Saturday night but still has 7-1-8 in seven games with Wilkes-Barre after potting just two goals in 32 games with Pittsburgh before his AHL assignment.
Kobasew, a veteran of 600 NHL games with Pittsburgh, Colorado, Minnesota, Boston and Calgary, played 127 games in the AHL with the Saint John Flames (2002-03) and Lowell Lock Monsters (2004-05) after being drafted by Calgary 14th overall in 2001. He was a First Team AHL All-Star in 2004-05 after compiling 38-37-75 and a plus-37 rating in 79 games with Lowell.
10. Alumni watch
Congratulations to AHL call-ups Mitch Callahan, John Persson and Mark Van Guilder, who all made their National Hockey League debuts in the last week.
For the 2013-14 season, a total of 113 AHL players have now made their NHL debuts.

I thank Dr Divgi for raising the important issue of sleep disorders among children, especially those with learning and behavior problems. As Figure 1 in our article illustrates,1(p1041) approximately 3% of the very young children diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder were also seen for insomnia, a diagnosis more often used than sleep disorder with this group of children during the study period of October 1995 through December 1996.

The woman whose body was found in a ditch near a Port Orange shopping plaza on Friday drowned, according to the medical examiner.
Workers doing erosion work near the 1600 block of Dunlawton Avenue found 55-year-old Deborah Lane's body floating face down in water with no signs of trauma. She was fully clothed.
Police said there was a few feet of water in the ditch and that it doesn't look like Lane had been there very long.
An autopsy concluded that Lane's death was accidental.

Who says you can never go home?
American Idol's original winner, Kelly Clarkson, returned to the stage where she first stepped into the spotlight and sang "Don't You Want to Stay" with country singer Jason Aldean on Thursday night's elimination show.
Ryan Seacrest introduced her as "someone the world knows as the platinum-selling Grammy winner, but to us she's the girl who started it all."
Dressed in a fitted black dress, Clarkson belted out the love song with her duet partner – and with a smile on her face.
Unlike the nervous season 10 contestants who were up for elimination, Clakson was in a playful mood. After the song, she teased Seacrest for talking about her Tweets. "You keep rephrasing them," she said.
Seacrest asked about a Tweet about contestant Casey Abrams. "He's certainly delicious. He's cute," she replied. "But you don't say the whole thing."
"It's a very short results show," Seacrest said. "I've got to get right to it."
"Just like a man," Clarkson said, and the crowd, including Jennifer Lopez, went wild.

"Good things are happening in Berkeley County."
That was the message Berkeley County Supervisor Dan Davis delivered in his annual State of the County address to local civic and business leaders. Davis spoke during a Chamber of Commerce breakfast Friday morning at the Redbank Club in Goose Creek.
"I'm really happy to be here again this year," Davis told the gathering of more than 150. "Our success wouldn't be possible without the help of everybody in this room. All of you play an integral part of the success of Berkeley County."
The event was Davis' sixth State of the County address.
Davis said the county's success includes the infusion of local industry into the local economy, which has brought much needed jobs to the county. Seven new industries located in Berkeley County brought 495 new jobs in 2012, and 12 new companies will bring 638 jobs in 2013.
"We are seeing movement of new businesses," Davis said of the county's economic development efforts. "We are blessed."
Davis is midway through his second term as supervisor and over the course of his service much attention has been focused on the economy and its recovery.
"In the past it's been all about the economy and coping with the difficult economic times," Davis said. "But recently we have seen an uptick in activity."
Such as a 7.1 percent increase in new housing starts.
"Something like the local hardware store selling out of surveyor stakes is a sign that good things are happening here," the supervisor said.
"The last audit told us we are in good shape financially," Davis said of a 22-percent fund balance the county has on the books in 2012. "In 2007 when I took office that balance was just three percent. We went to work to correct that and actually we overachieved."
Davis praised the penny sales tax program voters approved in 2010 and the subsequent improvement seen on area roads such as Hwy. 17A and Hwy. 6 between Moncks Corner and Cross.
"We collected $16.4 million in 2009-2010 and we project around $19 million in 2013," Davis said. "That's a 12-percent increase in sales in Berkeley County."
Davis added that he expects all planned Penny Sales Tax road improvement projects to be completed, "and then some."
"The roads were in such deplorable condition," he said. "The One Cent Sales Tax is the saving grace of Berkeley County roads. We need to keep this sales tax going to maintain the integrity of our county roads."
On the new field of green energy production Davis said the development of green energy "is one of the most exciting things we're doing. There are a lot of smart folks at Berkeley County Water and Sanitation that go beyond the next level."
Davis cited BCWS's landfill gas to energy methane extraction program as part of Berkeley County's leading the way into the next generation of energy production.
"We are the only place in the U.S. where all these functions occur on the same property," Davis said. "We're proud to be a leader in the field of green energy and we're going to do it first."

Crown Gifts Religious Shoppe - Spring Lake, NJ - Phone: (732) 449-3080
The merchants in Spring Lake who sell or deal in books are commonly known as book seller or book dealer. The dealer very well knows that the value of a book actually depends on its physical condition. If one is looking for new books, one may visit the bookstores in Spring Lake or refer online sites and he will be able to find them readily. Lots of bookstores specialize typically in out-of-print, secondhand, rare and collectible books. However, the online booksellers generally include Alibris, Amazon, and Biblio. They also inspire other stores and book dealers to sell books through their websites. Obviously this is not a free service and commission is charged on the same. The book dealers in Spring Lake sometimes put the rare and collectible books for sale as per the condition of the books. Maximum of the books sold by the dealers through major auction houses are quality collectible books. Economy shops generally have second-hand book sections. There are auctions organized by book dealers also for charity fund-raisers. The trade of the book seller or dealer in Spring Lake involves selling books, either by retail or wholesale. In other words, booksellers are the mediators between an author and publisher, whereas the publishers are the intermediaries between the author and the book dealer.

Skin Care Tips & Anti-Aging FAQs
1. What makes Meaningful Beauty®'s melon extracts so powerful?
These very special melons are cultivated by scientists in the Luberon, a secluded region in the south of France. The extract from this melon contains a rare antioxidant, which makes them decay much more slowly than any other type of melon, staying amazingly youthful and preserved. Meaningful Beauty is one of the first to use this specific melon extract in a skin care range.
2. I have sensitive skin. Can I use Meaningful Beauty®?
Yes, Meaningful Beauty is formulated for use on all skin types. In fact, in an independent clinical study of our products, 100% of subjects experienced no irritation. However, no matter how carefully Meaningful Beauty® has been formulated, some users may still experience irritation from using the products. If you do, try using the products less frequently to see if the irritation subsides. If you still continue to experience irritation, discontinue use.
3. Why does the Antioxidant Day Crème Broad Spectrum contain SPF 20?
Exposure to sunlight is known to be the leading cause of premature skin aging. Unlike many sunscreen products currently available, the Antioxidant Day Creme Broad Spectrum SPF 20 contains, providing broad-spectrum protection. If you are involved in outdoor activities with increased sun exposure, or desire even more protection, you can apply a sunscreen with even higher SPF over Antioxidant Day Crème
4. How is Meaningful Beauty® different?
Meaningful Beauty® combines classic French formulations with cutting-edge science, resulting in an exclusive age maintenance skin care system designed to help rejuvenate the skin and diminish the visible signs of aging. Each treatment formula contains a minimum of 7 key ingredients, including a melon extract, loaded with a powerful "first generation" antioxidant. Used as directed, Meaningful Beauty®'s formulas are designed to help smooth the appearance of fine lines, brighten the complexion, and diminish skin roughness and redness in just four weeks.
5. Meaningful Beauty®'s Skin Softening Cleanser leaves my skin feeling soft and moisturized, but not tight and dry. Is my skin really clean?
Yes, it's really clean. The problem with many skin cleansers is they often remove natural emollients and oils that your skin needs to stay soft and supple. Meaningful Beauty®'s Skin Softening Cleanser is a gentle formula that is designed to remove makeup and skin impurities without stripping your skin of essential oils. Skin is clean and refreshed, not tight and dry.
6. What causes wrinkles?
Youthful skin enjoys an abundance of collagen, the natural substance that keeps our skin healthy and resilient. Unfortunately, the body's natural aging process (along with exposure to environmental factors such as sun and pollution) produces free radicals, which can break down collagen over time. Antioxidants are the skin's natural defense against free radicals, which is why Meaningful Beauty® is formulated with superoxide dismutase, believed to be one of the most powerful antioxidants known to science.
7. Can I use other cosmetic skin care products while I use Meaningful Beauty®?
Meaningful Beauty® products were specially formulated by Dr. Jean-Louis Sebagh to work together as a system for maximum benefits. Specifically balanced antioxidant complex formulas work together day and night to revitalize your skin. Use every day for best results.
8. What makes Crème de Sérum such a powerhouse product?
Crème de Sérum is a three-in-one product that contains the most potent ingredients in the entire Meaningful Beauty line. The white portion contains anti-aging peptides, which help protect skin from wrinkles and fine lines. The clear layer of hyaluronic acid acts like a sponge on your skin, helping it grab and hold moisture. The melon shade is the SOD complex, designed to protect skin from free radicals and harsh environmental elements.
9. What is the difference between first and second generation antioxidants?
Though they are found in many forms, all antioxidants are not created equally—they are categorized as either "primary" or "secondary" (or what Dr. Jean-Louis Sebagh refers to as "first" or "second") generation antioxidants, depending on their ability to protect the skin. Preliminary studies suggest that although the second generation antioxidants found in many skin care products, such as vitamins C and E, can trap free radicals after they are formed—the more powerful first generation antioxidants can prevent the formation of new free radical species.
10. When will I see results with Meaningful Beauty®?
Meaningful Beauty® is designed to start working right away. You can start to see the difference in as little as 4 weeks—and you can notice even more results after two months.
11. I don't have any wrinkles. Can my skin still benefit from Meaningful Beauty®?
You're never too young or too old to start taking care of your skin. Meaningful Beauty® is perfect for young women because you need to protect, hydrate and moisturize your skin. Meaningful Beauty® has the essential ingredients that can help you protect your skin and maintain a youthful complexion.
Money-Back Guarantee
I think you'll love Meaningful Beauty® as much as I do, but if for any reason you're not completely satisfied, just return the containers within 60 days of receipt, and you'll get a full refund of the purchase price (minus shipping and handling), even if the bottles are empty.

Griffins Features
Nov. 3, 2010
Grand Rapids Griffins rookie defenseman Brendan Smith has figured for a while that he wanted to pursue a professional sports career.
For a time, though, the specific sport wasn't entirely clear.
The middle of three boys, Smith grew up in suburban Toronto, and he and his brothers split time pretty evenly between lacrosse and hockey. In fact, older brother Rory wound up sticking with lacrosse all the way through and currently is suiting up for the National Lacrosse League's Minnesota Storm.
"We were always big into lacrosse, even with my little brother," Brendan said. "For a time up until I was about 15 or 16, I was probably better at lacrosse than I was at hockey. That was always a route if hockey wasn't going to work out."
Between 2005 and 2007, Brendan and Rory were hockey teammates on the St. Michael's Buzzers, a junior A team playing in the Ontario Provincial Junior Hockey League, and that was when Brendan began focusing on hockey and leaving lacrosse on the back burner.
"I still love to watch lacrosse -- I watch my brother all the time and I still have my lacrosse stick with me -- but no regrets" about choosing hockey, he said.
Of course, it's hard to regret taking a path which has resulted in one positive development after another over the past few years, which Smith hopes soon will culminate in an NHL spot with the Detroit Red Wings.
The 21-year-old is doing little to dissuade that notion so far. Just nine games into his professional career with Grand Rapids, Smith leads all American Hockey League rookie defensemen with 4 goals and 9 points. Three of his goals have come in the third period of games, including the game-winning goal in a 3-2 victory at Manitoba on Oct. 16.
"Right in the prospects camp over the summer, he was terrific," Griffins coach Curt Fraser said. "And then in the Red Wings' camp, he stood out. He made significant improvements, really did a nice job in training camp, and it's rolled right into the season."
Smith's offensive production is nothing new. After leading St. Michael's defensemen with 36 points in 2006-07, he was selected by the Wings with the 27th pick of 2007 Entry Draft, and enrolled at the University of Wisconsin the following fall.
The 6-foot-2, 195-pound defensemen put up respectable numbers while being hampered by injuries in his first two college seasons before breaking out with a monster junior campaign.
Smith stayed healthy during the entire 2009-10 season and led all NCAA Division I defensemen in scoring with 52 points (15 goals, 37 assists) in 47 games. He was named a finalist for the Hobey Baker Award as college hockey's top player, which ultimately went to his Wisconsin teammate and current Milwaukee Admiral, Blake Geoffrion.
"No, I guess not," he said with a laugh. "Offensively, I try to make good plays and passes, set up my teammates, and contribute at that end of the ice."
Following his junior season, Smith decided it was time to turn pro.
"It was a tough decision. I talked to my coaches, my parents and my agent and everybody, and we all decided that it was the right decision for me to move on and go to the next step of my career," Smith said. "So far, it's been working."
Smith prepared for the jump to pro hockey this past summer by participating in a structured training program run by noted strength and conditioning coach Matt Nichol in Ontario. He was part of a group that included Michael Cammalleri, Andrew Cogliano and nearly 20 other National Hockey League players.
He credits that experience with helping him be ready for training camp, since he was working out and playing against professionals all summer.
"I think it's going pretty well so far here," Smith said of his adjustment to the AHL. "It's obviously a different style of game than college, and I'm still trying to get used to it. We're playing against men now, and there are some big boys out there. The strength level is different."
Smith has benefited to some degree by the presence on the Griffins' blue line of established pros like two-time Calder Cup champion Greg Amadio, plus Derek Meech and Doug Janik, a duo which boasts a combined 307 games of NHL experience.
From Fraser's perspective, though, Smith has acquitted himself just fine in the early going.
"I don't think he's had any issue at all," Fraser said. "If anything, he stands out offensively every game. Physically, he's met the challenge in every way, and just with the skills he has, he's not only a good defenseman at this level, he's a very good defenseman. He's coming along just how everybody had hoped, and we're looking for him to continue that."
Without equivocation, Fraser reported Smith has not needed to be eased into the pro game in low-pressure situations, as often is the case with young players, particularly defensemen.
"Brendan's the kind of player where you need to put him in those (difficult) situations and he's going to flourish there," said Fraser. "You have to give him responsibility, put him in tough spots, and he reacts in a very positive way when you do that."
For his part, Smith is realistic enough to recognize that while it's been a nice first month, there are still elements of his game that he needs to bolster in order to make the jump to the next level.
His offensive instincts already are impressive, but his defensive game and play in his own end still could use some improvement.
"The things we've been talking about are my defensive positioning and just little things I can do better defensively to get the puck," Smith said. "Coach always tells me that if I have the puck, it's hard for me to get scored against."
"Detroit likes their players to be mature when they get to the NHL," Fraser said. "They're not going to rush him along or expect him to go up and play this year. They'll let him get used to this style of play, let him develop and grow, so when he does go up to Detroit, he doesn't just have a nice seat on the bench. He'll be able to contribute to their success.
"Brendan's just got to work on a few things to improve his game, and when he accomplishes that, he'll have an excellent opportunity to help out Detroit."
While Smith was a big Toronto Maple Leafs fan growing up, his younger brother always favored the Red Wings. Now that he's part of the Detroit organization, he and his brother are rooting for the same team.
"It's quite exciting to know that I'm in one of the best organizations in hockey," Smith said. "They've brought along their prospects well for so many years. You can look around that whole Red Wings room and more than half of them played for the Griffins or in the AHL, so I know I'm in good hands. I'm just like a sponge, trying to learn from everybody and end up making that next jump."

BY PAMELA P. LACKEY and
South Carolina must get serious about confronting the problem of our declining transportation infrastructure to avoid significant short- and long-term damage to our state's largest business sector.
Agribusiness (which includes agriculture, forestry and timber products) contributes $34 billion to South Carolina's economy and provides 200,000 jobs.
In rural areas, agribusiness is often the primary asset to create jobs, improve per capita income and stimulate growth. The good news is South Carolina is well-positioned to participate in the international marketplace.
Looking ahead, the industry is expected to account for $50 billion in economic impact by 2020, with much of the growth resulting from the creation of new export markets. This ability to efficiently transport products to the Port of Charleston will therefore be even more crucial.
Agribusiness has always depended upon the ability to connect the farm to the consumer, which means an effective transportation system is imperative. Unfortunately, South Carolina's rural roads and bridges are declining, making shipping products to market more costly and time consuming.
According to the S.C. Department of Transportation, nearly one-third of South Carolina's primary and interstate highways are in poor or mediocre condition, with approximately half the secondary roads in failing condition. One out of every five bridges in the state is considered deficient.
Our highway system needs far exceed $6 billion in the long term. However, an immediate infusion of an additional $300 million annually can address many of our most pressing critical needs in three areas:
■ $100 million new dollars annually dedicated to Act 114 [the 2007 DOT reform bill] ranked interstate widening, supplementing the existing federal funds shown in the current Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP).
■ $100 million annually for replacement of all 420 load restricted bridges within five years. After completing the load-restricted bridges, these funds would supplement the current federal allocation dedicated by the SCDOT for the replacement/rehabilitation of the remaining 468 structurally deficient bridges.
■ $100 million annually for an Act 114 ranked statewide resurfacing program, touching each of the state's 46 counties.
A recent study by the Association of General Contractors estimates that every $1 billion invested in infrastructure would create more than 28,500 jobs in construction, manufacturing and other industries.
We do not endorse any specific funding strategy. However, we commend Gov. Nikki Haley for recognizing the critical need to fund our state's highways and bridges and for identifying possible funding mechanisms and the General Assembly for its review of all funding alternatives.
The DOT has developed an initial plan of action, based on traffic count and needs, which we support. We also support expansion of I-26 to facilitate the flow of commerce through the Port of Charleston.
With the many needs our state faces, the magnitude of the infrastructure problem is a challenge. But the decision will determine South Carolina's economic future.
Neighboring states, strong agribusiness competitors, recognize the importance of infrastructure investment. Georgia spends $35,000 per mile; North Carolina spends more than $150,000. South Carolina spends an average of $15,000 per mile on roads.
We encourage our state leaders to not let this legislative session pass without developing a comprehensive plan to fix our state's infrastructure, reaffirming South Carolina's commitment to sustainable economic growth through agribusiness.

Kendra's Walden Fundraiser
After spending a good amount of time in a variety of living areas, Kendra is seeking something more. Whether living urban, suburban, rural or in the wilderness, there's always a price to pay. Rent payments are neverending, and no kind of investment to speak of. To make a home somewhere so often means signing up for a mortgage or non-stop payment. Kendra plans to build her Tiny Home when the sun comes back to Seattle. From there she hopes build a farm, create a community center and continue her passion of working in outdoor education and community healing. She may even start a food truck (or food cabin on wheels), or help you build your tiny home, or your dream.
When I was a little girl, I dreamed of having a house on wheels to live and adventure in. I asked for one that Christmas, and awoke to a girly RV toy with little dolls. Dismayed, my tomboy heart deflated a little. "No, like a REAL house, on wheels." I was informed there was no such thing. I then realized I was going to have to build it myself.
Twenty years later, I was working as an Adventure Guide in Central America, living in a plastic tarp off very little money. I was trying to figure out a way to acquire a homey shelter that could afford me the feeling of home wherever I went. Rent was a taxing idea on so few dollars, and I had college loans to pay off. I recalled my childhood dream, and began searching the internet for images of 'houses on wheels'. I found Tumbleweed, and was romanced by the visions of their economical warm spaces.
Tumbleweed's Walden
This spring I will be building the Walden, in Seattle, Washington. Once it's built, I plan to continue working in as a youth educator and performance artist and build a community garden and healing center with my partner. We hope to host events such as concerts, farm days, DIY workshops, summer camps, as well as host getaways for individuals and families. You can be a part of the process! Check out the fundraising campaign here.
Thanks for your support!

The honeybees that live on the roof of the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts have a great view, but they're probably too busy to notice it. Beekeeper Fred Davis reports that about 150 pounds of honey have been collected so far from the Four Seasons Centre hives. One thing he's noticed is that the honey that has been produced this year is darker and this indicates that it's gathered more from flowering trees and bushes and less from flowers. This same darker honey is being gathered from other downtown Toronto hives as well.
Darker honey is very flavourful and Fred finds that it tends to have more body than the lighter honey he gathers from some of his other hives. Some say that the health benefits of the darker honey made from the nectar of flowering trees is greater than honey that comes from wildflowers.
The honey is being bottled and will be ready for sale at the Four Seasons Centre bars sometime in the new year.
A big thank you to Fred, and the honeybees!

2014/2015 marks quite a season for Russell Braun! The Toronto-based, internationally acclaimed baritone performed a full summer of concerts and recitals across North America and Europe, then made his role debut as Ford in the COC's production of Falstaff in the fall – and now he takes on Mozart's legendary womanizer, Don Giovanni.
What he's doing with us: Russell has already played Don Giovanni in acclaimed director Dmitri Tcherniakov's production when it appeared at the Teatro Real Madrid in 2013. This winter at the COC, he'll return as the drinking and angst-ridden lothario in Tcherniakov's take on Mozart's masterpiece.
Where you might have seen him: Russell has been a welcome presence at the COC over the past few seasons. Most recently, he displayed his more comic talents as Ford in the COC's hit Falstaff, and last spring, sang Nottingham in Donizetti's Roberto Devereux - both role debuts! Globally, most recently he was Valentin in Faust at Met Opera and Lescaut in Manon at La Scala, a role he reprises next year at the Metropolitan Opera, among many other international appearances.
Interviews and Profiles: A great conversation in Toronto Life with Russell and musical threatre star Louise Pitre from 2011, A Q & A with the Ottawa Citizen Russell talking with Eleanor Wachtel on Wachtel on the Arts, and two of our own video interviews for Roberto Devereux and Don Giovanni!

Yeah, it's my birthday!
And in Erma Bombeck's words:
I always had a dream that when I am asked to give an accounting of my life to a higher court, it will go like this:
"So empty out your pockets. What have you got left of your life? Any dreams that were unfulfilled? Any unused talent that we gave you when you were born that you still have left? Any unsaid compliments or bits of love that you haven't spread around?"
And I will answer, "I've nothing to return. I spent everything You gave me. I'm as naked as the day I was born!"
And here's a picture of me with my Mom & Dad celebrating my 30th birthday!

TRUCKEE, Calif. — The Tahoe Resource Conservation District (Tahoe RCD) will again manage the Truckee Area Watercraft Inspection Program for 2012. Entering its third season, Truckee area inspections and boater education on aquatic invasive species (AIS) will take place at Donner Lake and Boca, Prosser and Stampede reservoirs late May through September. Current funding for Truckee Area watercraft inspections and outreach has been provided by the Truckee River Fund."The program was well-received in 2010 and 2011, and we look forward to providing boaters with information and free inspections and decontaminations again in 2012," said Teresa Crimmens, program coordinator for the Truckee Aquatic Invasive Species Prevention Program (TRAISPP).Boat inspections are the front line to prevent the introduction of AIS, as boats and other motorized watercraft are the largest vectors for spreading AIS into new water bodies. Boaters are encouraged to "clean, drain and dry" their watercraft prior to launching into new water bodies. Free decontaminations will be available for high-risk vessels wishing to launch at Truckee area water bodies. These will occur at Alpine Meadows Transportation Station parking lot, off Highway 89 and Northstar-at-Tahoe Castle Peak parking lot, off Highway 267. Inspections are voluntary but highly recommended to avoid the spread of AIS, such as quagga and zebra mussels and New Zealand mudsnails, which pose a significant threat to Truckee/Tahoe area water bodies and local economies. Quagga and zebra mussels are especially problematic, as they are known to multiply quickly and colonize underwater surfaces, including docks and piers, water supply and filtration systems, buoys, moored boats and even the shoreline. They destroy fish habitat, ruin boat engines, and can negatively impact water quality, recreation and the ecosystem. The inspection program is critical to preventing the spread of AIS into Truckee area water bodies. During 2011 Tahoe RCD inspectors logged more than 7,700 boater interactions, including both inspections and opportunities for boater education on AIS. According to surveys completed during 2011 inspections, 85 percent of boat owners agree inspections are an important component in stopping the spread of aquatic invasive species.Through the 2011 stakeholder-driven process, the Tahoe RCD and Truckee River Watershed Council have gauged community support and identified the programmatic steps for implementation of a mandatory prevention program in the Truckee region. "A mandatory inspection program is a crucial element in preventing the introduction of aquatic invasive species," said Kim Boyd, Invasive Species andamp; Biological Resources program manager for Tahoe RCD. Tahoe RCD, the Truckee River Watershed Council and the Truckee-Tahoe community will continue to work with local policy-makers in 2012 toward the implementation of a mandatory program in Truckee.For more information, program updates and announcements visit TruckeeBoatInspections.com or contact Teresa Crimmens at 530-587-4911.

WHEATFIELD – The Niagara USA Chamber has declared that it will "publicly and actively" oppose any proposed school budget this spring in Niagara County that exceeds the state property tax cap.
"The integrity of the property tax cap must be maintained," said Kory Schuler, the Chamber's director of government affairs. The cap is 2 percent plus exceptions set in state law, and thus differs from district to district.
"We understand that districts are challenged, and we support their efforts to get relief from costly state mandates, which is highly important. But asking overburdened taxpayers to cough up more beyond the tax cap is not the right answer," Schuler said Wednesday. "If we have to urge people to vote against a school budget, we are prepared to do that."

A longtime Levenger customer--and admirer not only of the products' quality but of the founder's philosophy--I'm delighted that Moleskine notebooks have been added to the product line.Some years ago when these notebooks showed up at a local bookstore, I promptly bought 100 of the small ones. "With my luck," I thought, "they'll stop producing these." Since then I've probably filled 30 or 40 small ones, and maybe 15 of the medium-size ones.A vital tip: Number the pages (I just number the right-hand pages with odd numbers for convenience' sake), and use the inside surface of the front cover, plus that next blank leaf, for a two-column table of contents. This makes it easy to find what you've been working on.Trust me--and many, many, many other people. You cannot go wrong with this purchase, if you're at all someone who likes to make notes and process ideas on paper. The lines are the perfect distance apart, and the covers (at least the ones I have) are stiff but thin, making it easy to write anywhere. Fancy journals are fine in their place, but this is a workhorse you will treasure.

I was first introduced to Moleskine notebooks some years ago and used them steadily for a long time. I enjoy writing my thoughts and plans on paper, and the Moleskine provided a good experience. The durable black cover and elastic band will protect the notebook from the elements. The back pocket is a great addition.My experience with many Moleskine notebooks over the years has shown that the company's quality control is not consistent, and seem to be going downward. Since I started using fountain pens, I quickly learned that the paper is not well suited to liquid inks; ball point and pencil users will have no problems. I eventually switched to Rhodia pads for this reason. After all, a notebook's paper quality is key.In terms of overall value, most writers will find that the Moleskine meets their needs. There are other notebooks that are of higher quality for an equivalent or better price.

Very Nice Notebook

Handy size. Paper and cover texture are very good. Paper is very smooth and doesn't have any of the "scratchy" feel regardless of the type of pen used. Very good for keeping ongoing daily and meeting notes.

Great journal
By ConnecticutJudge
from Meriden, CT
I have been using these notebooks as a daily journal for about four years. They are well constructed and easy to write in even for my left-handed penmanship. They are small enough to store easily in a desk drawer, but large enough to handle a day's worth of recollections on each page. I am now on my 6th volume and have no intentions of switching products. I am very pleased/
By Foreverlost

I have several Moleskin products, and they have been very good. But I purchased this notebook in the grid form from the Chicago store, and was very disappointed when found it wasn't useable with a fountain pen. The ink soaked right through the page and bled onto the next. Very disappointing!

Stetson University Director of Tennis Pierre Pilote announced that Christophe Noblet has been promoted to Associate Head Men's and Women's Tennis Coach on Thursday morning.
"Christophe has done very well so far and is very worthy of this promotion," Pilote said. "Both the men's and women's teams will benefit from his new role within the program.
"From the day to day office responsibilities to the on-court work with both squads, Christophe has proven that he is ready for the added responsibilities and recognition," Pilote added.
Noblet joined the Hatters staff in August of 2012 and has worked tirelessly to help lead the Stetson tennis teams ever since. Alongside Pilote, Noblet assisted the men's program to a 10-0 start to the 2012 campaign, its best since 1996.
The Stetson tennis teams will start their fall competition this month, beginning with the men's team at the Southern Intercollegiate this weekend.

A few hours after notching a hard-fought 3-1 victory over Drake, the Stetson Volleyball team put up a gutsy effort against host Wyoming before eventually falling 3-0 (25-23, 25-22, 36-34) Friday afternoon at the UniWyo Invitational.
The Hatters finished the first day of the tournament with a 1-1 record and will face Montana State and Idaho on Saturday.
Kaley Melville led the Hatters with 17 kills against Wyoming and went over 900-kill mark for her career. Coupled with her 21-kill effort against Drake, she posted 38 kills in just seven sets on the day.In the marathon third set, Stetson staved off four Wyoming match points and held several opportunities with the serve to push the contest to a fourth set. The game also featured late ties in set one (23-23) and set two (22-22).
"It was an exciting match and very fun to be a part of," Stetson head coach Tim Loesch said. "I was really proud with how the team played. Every set was close and could have gone either way. It was a little tough being our second match of the day, and Wyoming's first, so they were just a little bit fresher, and maybe a little bit crisper. Our errors were mostly the result of good play by Wyoming. Anybody that watched the match (on the internet) saw us play at a high level and with chances to win in every set."
Kayla Weller registered 43 assists against Wyoming, giving her a grand total of 97 assists on the day.
"Kayla was the reason we got so many kills," Loesch said. "She did a really good job of executing our offense and she is already playing at a really high level."
After Monique Russell secured the libero position over the past four years, sophomore Michelle Kastner made a strong impact in her first day in that role, finishing with a combined 39 digs.
"Michelle was very consistent today, she made very few errors, and produced a lot of great passes," Loesch said. "She made a lot of great digs, she helped organize the defense, and she really stepped up and filled the role that 'Mo' filled the last few years."
Three different freshmen saw action on opening day, including Madison Akins who recorded eight kills against Drake, and Tiffany Creamer who notched 15 kills vs. Wyoming.
"Madison had a good game in the first match, and Tiffany really stepped up and had a great match in our second match," Loesch said. "It was real exciting to see (the freshmen) contribute."
Stetson owned a 49-47 advantage in kills and a 61-52 advantage in digs.
Notes: Set three was the Hatters longest since the NCAA adopted the 25-point set scoring system in 2008.

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
THURSDAY, April 11 (HealthDay News) -- U.S. veterans who suffered major limb injuries in combat showed little improvement with mental health problems such as depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in the two years after receiving treatment for their wounds, researchers report.
Their pain levels showed the most improvement three to six months after their initial hospitalization and then leveled off, according to the study, which is scheduled for presentation Thursday at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Pain Medicine in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
"Our research confirms that chronic daily pain ... continues to be a burden for limb-injured servicemen, that post-traumatic stress is a far more prominent feature of recovery than in other chronic pain populations and that returning to a meaningful role functioning in their lives is challenging for many," study leader Dr. Rollin Gallagher, deputy national program director for pain management in the Department of Veterans Affairs, said in an academy news release.
Gallagher and his colleagues conducted phone interviews with nearly 300 veterans who suffered major combat-related limb injuries. Nearly half had lost limbs. The interviews were done every three months for two years, beginning after the veterans' initial hospitalization.
At various points during the interview period, nearly 14 percent of the veterans reported generalized anxiety disorder, 14 percent reported depression and 5 percent had suicidal thoughts. Nearly 46 percent reported a low level of PTSD, and an additional 12 percent reported a high level of PTSD.
Pain levels immediately improved in the six months after initial hospitalization but did not show any further improvement over the remainder of the two-year study period, the study found.
The findings suggest that severely injured veterans require ongoing care to help them cope with the pain and trauma of their injuries, said Gallagher, who is also a clinical professor of psychiatry and anesthesiology at the University of Pennsylvania and the Philadelphia VA Medical Center.
Data and conclusions presented at meetings typically are considered preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed medical journal.

So far, the Department of Veterans Affairs doesn't seem to care that it has pulled the rug out from under 1,000 veterans, their families, friends and supporters, and key components of the Buffalo economy. But it is coming under increasing pressure for its cavalier decision to cancel the Veterans Golden Age Games just 10 weeks before the event was to occur and only two weeks after the VA signed contracts.
Both Rep. Brian Higgins, D-Buffalo, and Sen. Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., have written to Eric Shinseki, the secretary of Veterans Affairs, to protest the abrupt cancellation of the games, which had been in planning for six years. Rep. Chris Collins, R-Clarence, has also made his objections known.
In his letter, Higgins noted the $2.2 million economic loss the region will suffer because of the VA's unexplained action. He also noted that the 1,000 veterans will be unable to compete in a prequalifying event for the Senior Olympics and, as a financial matter, will forfeit whatever they may have invested in nonrefundable airline tickets.
Schumer made similar points in a letter to Shinseki and also demanded to know what the VA planned to do with the money it saved by canceling the games. He asked Shinseki what the VA would do "to help make veterans and companies whole?"
It's a good question. In a normal world, a party who backs out of a legal contract is subject to be sued and to be forced to compensate those who paid the price for its indifference. We see no reason that the VA shouldn't be similarly held to account.
That's not the answer, though. The solution is for the VA to reverse its decision and proceed with the games – as it still intends to do in North Carolina, Florida, Colorado and California.
The VA's vague plea of poverty doesn't hold up. As Higgins noted, Shinseki's department was exempted from sequestration, while the recent resolution keeping the government functioning through Sept. 30 provided the VA with $61 billion in discretionary funding, a $2.5 billion increase that is also shielded from sequestration.
So what is the real reason for the VA's action? It's not saying, and in its silence it is leaving thousands of individuals and businesses in the lurch. Four downtown hotels had booked guests for the six-day event, which was to have begun on May 30. Those hotels may now take a bath.
The venues for the competition, including the Buffalo Niagara Convention Center, Erie Community College and Amherst's Audubon Golf Course, will also suffer. Nothing comparable can be booked into the convention center on such short notice.
It is fair to ask if the government should be paying for events such as these in a time of financial strain. But that's a question for the future and one that has evidently not been asked regarding the games still scheduled elsewhere. The VA made an agreement and, more than that, it signed a contract. It needs to make good.

Almost all car manufacturers have been affected by the global recession, but Tesla Motors is sticking to its expansion plans. The innovative electric car manufacturer plans to open seven new stores this summer which will expand its sales into new regional areas. Unlike most companies which have a dealership network, Tesla will own all of its sales and service centers, enabling strong price and service control.
Tesla currently has two stores open; one in Silicon Valley and another in west Los Angeles. The first new stores will open in New York City, Seattle, and Chicago. It is not a coincidence that these are major metropolitan areas with strong environmental movements. Tesla's NYC store will be located in the trendy Chelsea Art District of Manhattan, while Seattle's South Lake Union neighborhood (heavily invested in by Microsoft's Paul Allen and his Vulcan Real Estate arm) and Chicago's West Town will host the new stores.
These first five stores are located in states that either have sales tax exemptions on hybrids and electric vehicles or are considering legislation authorizing them. For example, Washington state has a sales tax exemption all battery-electric hybrids and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. These incentives are on top of a $7,500 US Federal Tax Credit, which fully applies to all Tesla vehicles.
International expansion will come with a new store in London, England, followed by stores in Munich, Germany, and the Principality of Monaco. The Monaco store will also target customers in nearby France, Switzerland, and Italy. Potential customers from the nearby Czech Republic and Austria may also seek out the Munich store. The city of London is an obvious choice for a store due to its congestion charge, a fee based system to raise funds from drivers for its massive transportation infrastructure. Hybrid and electric vehicles are required to register, but are given a 100% discount. Tesla's first European deliveries are scheduled for this summer as well.
A Miami store will open later this summer to serve customers in Florida. Tesla is considering locations for its first Canadian store in Toronto, as well as possible sites for a store in Washington, D.C. Other locations will follow to serve other major metropolitan markets.
Tesla Motors has conducted research into retail design, and claims to have taken "showroom cues from Apple, Starbucks and other customer-focused retailers". All of their stores feature computers with free Internet access to while away time during maintenance, which is brief due to the simplified design of its electric architecture. Most maintenance is spent on brake inspections, although the occasional recall and powertrain upgrade will take longer.
"We are rethinking almost every aspect of the automobile - from the powertrain to
the customer experience, both online and in our stores," said Elon Musk, Tesla's CEO.
The stores might be a little bare since more than 500 customers are still waiting for their own Tesla Roadster, the company's sole production vehicle. The Roadsters currently in stores are mostly prototype and engineering validation vehicles. Tesla is delivering 20 to 25 new Roadsters per week, after being assembled by Lotus in Hethel, England and finished in California. It recently delivered its 500th Roadster to Martin Tuchman, a New Jersey philanthropist who plans to charge his Roadster partly with solar energy thanks to photovoltaic panels he helped install throughout his hometown of Kingston, New Jersey.
Besides Tesla's Roadsters, the new stores will also sell and service the company's new Model S electric sports sedans when they enter production. More than 1,200 deposits have been placed for the Model S sedan, which will cost around $50,000 with the U.S. Federal Tax Credit.
quote: Electric cars are free from the 180% car tax a Tesla will look real cheap (if they do not get greedy).
quote: Tesla Roadsters cost over $100k USD. The supposedly upcoming Tesla Model S sedan will cost $60k plus. These are low volume niche cars. TOTAL Roadster sales have just reached 500 cars. Wow! Look out Toyota! Even in a recession and under bankruptcy, GM sells 10x more trucks in a week than Tesla has sold in total. You can't compare a two dealership niche sports car manufacturer to a multinational, extremely diverse car manufacturer.

He joined the Hatters in August 2012 after a successful two year coaching stint at Barry University in Miami, Fla.

He also coaches first base on game days and is the Director of the Pete Dunn Baseball Camps."We are extremely happy to have Brian back for another year in the program," head coach Pete Dunn said. "Obviously, he is very familiar with the Stetson University system."A native of Miami, Pruitt left Stetson following his junior season in 2008 after the Washington Nationals drafted him in the 34th round. Pruitt played two seasons of minor league baseball before injuries derailed his career.While a player at Stetson from 2006-08, Pruitt posted a .270 batting average in 165 games with 26 doubles, 7 triples, 16 home runs and 121 runs batted in.Pruitt's coaching career started in spring 2010 at Berkmar High School in Lilburn, Georgia. He was the Head Varsity Assistant and helped lead the team to a school record win total.Pruitt graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Management from Ashford University in 2010, and earned a Master of Science in Sport Management from Barry in 2012."I am excited to be back for my second year at Stetson and be a part of this coaching staff again. After having a productive fall, I feel as though our team will be ready to compete from the first pitch of the season all the way to the last pitch of the season. We will accomplish great things this year," Pruitt said.Pruitt is married to Stetson alumna Megan Trombino ('08). The couple are expecting their first child this March, Faye Doris. They reside in Deland.

Andrew Luck broke the NFL rookie record for yards passing, rookie kicker Blair Walsh broke the league mark for 50-yard plus field goals in a season, Kai Forbath set the NFL record for consecutive field goals to begin a career, and Jason Witten broke the NFL record for catches in a season by a tight end.
On a Sunday featuring a slew of records, Luck topped Cam Newton�s year-old mark for yards passing in the first half of Indianapolis� game at Kansas City.
Newton�s record was 4,051 yards. Luck entered the game needing 74 yards to break the mark and had 123 at halftime.
�Yes, it definitely means something,� Luck said of the record. �And after the season I�ll have a chance to look back and reflect on it. It�s nice; obviously it�s nicer to be in the playoffs, but it�s nice to have a couple records, which I�m sure will be broken in the next year.�
Minnesota�s Walsh kicked a 56-yard field goal in the second quarter against Houston, giving him a record ninth field goal of 50 yards or more.
Forbath set the NFL record for consecutive field goals to begin a career with 17 in a row. He had field goals of 45 and 42 yards in the first half against the Eagles.
New Orleans� Garrett Hartley had 16 in a row.
Witten�s 103rd catch of the season came in overtime Sunday against the New Orleans Saints.
Tony Gonzalez held the mark with 102 catches for Kansas City in 2004.
Witten had consecutive catches in overtime, the second being his sixth of the game.
On Saturday, Detroit�s Calvin Johnson broke Jerry Rice�s single-season yards receiving record, and is at 1,892 with a game left. He also became the only NFL player with 100 yards receiving in eight consecutive games and the only NFL player with 10-plus receptions in four consecutive games.
