LANSING -- Police here arrested a man they said fired shots into a Lansing home Monday evening, then fired a handgun at a nearby bar just minutes later.
Lansing police public information officer Robert Merritt said officers were dispatched to the 1000 block of REO Road at 11:50 p.m. Monday on a report of shots fired into a dwelling.
Officers arrived and made contact with the resident, a 26-year-old man, who said someone had fired a round into a glass sliding door of his residence.
The victim told police he believed he knew the culprit. He said the suspect was a man he had had a falling out with several months ago. The suspect had made threats against the victim prior, and did so Monday night before the incident via telephone, Merritt said.
While officers were with the victim, Lansing police were dispatched to Auggies Pub and Grill, 820 W. Miller Road, less than two miles from the 1000 block of REO Road.
Dispatchers were alerted that a man had brandished a gun inside the bar.
Officers arrived at the scene and interviewed witnesses, who said a domestic incident had occurred between a man and woman at the bar. After the dispute, the man pulled out a handgun and waved it around, then exited the bar and fired a round into the building's door, Merritt said.
Witnesses gave officers a description of the suspect and his vehicle. Merritt said a Lansing police patrol unit found the vehicle shortly thereafter in the vicinity of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and REO Road.
Officers pulled the vehicle over and arrested the suspect without incident. Not only was the man the suspect from the incident at Auggies, he was also the suspect from the incident in the 1000 block of REO Road, Merritt said.
The suspect was arrested without incident.
Merritt said the suspect is expected to be arraigned in Lansing District Court Tuesday afternoon.

By Kathleen Thorne
On the one hand, the explosion of eBook readers and other technology has enormously expanded the ways we can access, write, publish, promote and talk about books.
Sound, animation and the ability to connect to the Internet have created the notion of a living book that can establish an entirely new kind of relationship with readers. As electronic reading devices evolve and proliferate, books are increasingly able to talk to readers, quiz them on the material, play videos to illustrate a point, or connect them with a community of fellow readers.
That same technology enables readers to reach out to authors, provide instant reaction, and even become creative collaborators, influencing plot developments and the writer's use of dramatic devices. Digital tools are also making it easy for independent authors to publish and promote their books, causing an outpouring of written work on every topic imaginable. Today anyone with an Internet connection, or even a cellphone, effectively owns a digital printing press.
Writers no longer have to hold their breath for years as their work is written, edited, and finally published to find out if their words have an audience. They can also be more experimental and explore topics and writing styles that might have been once considered too risky.
Thanks to this new technology, the distinction between professional and amateur writer is rapidly blurring.
Consider Amanda Hocking. Unknown, living paycheck to paycheck in Austin, Minnesota, rejected by publishers all over New York, she decided to self-publish her young adult paranormal romance and urban fantasy series on eBook platforms only. She sold over 185,000 copies in ten months. She's just 26 and is now making enough money to quit her day job and become a full time writer.
On the other hand, this explosion of written words means that a serious writer, besides struggling to be heard among several hundred thousand other print voices, must now compete with an online chorus that is a thousand times greater. And, in all likelihood, he must do his own marketing as well in the increasingly crowded social media cloud.
Meanwhile, since they are priced much lower than hardcovers, most eBooks generate less income for publishers. And because most of the big retailers are buying fewer titles, publishers who once nurtured generations of America's top literary writers are approving fewer book deals and signing fewer new writers – and are even wary of published authors whose previous works were only moderate sellers. At the same time, most of those getting published are receiving smaller advances.
In some cases, independent publishers are picking up the slack by signing promising literary-fiction writers. But they offer, on average, $1,000 to $5,000 for advances, a fraction of the $50,000 to $100,000 advances that established publishers typically paid in the past for debut literary fiction.
Then there are those alarms about how the Internet is rewiring out brains and the impact that too much screen time in having on our ability for sustained concentration. Will today's hyperwired young people rise to the challenge of reading books, or will future teachers replace the book assignment with the chapter?
There are more intellectual concerns as well. As the market increases its influence over what gets published and what makes in into the hands (or devices) of the public, and the traditional arbiters of literary culture – book reviewers, literary journals, humanities departments – fade into the background, will a book's literary value be based only on how well it sells? Will books descend from what was once considered a major form of social currency to just another facet of the entertainment industry? Will a "good book" mean high gross sales and a "good writer" mean one whose next book can be guaranteed to sell better than the last one? Case in point: According to a recent article in Prospect magazine, one out of every 17 hardback novels bought in the U.S. since 2006 has been written by the crime novelist James Patterson.
Perhaps you're one of those Luddites inclined to fling the most recent best seller (don't try this with an e-reader) across the room in despair that there is anyone still alive who cares about proper grammar, correct spelling or fact checking. Or maybe you live in dread of the day when you will no longer be able to wander into your local bookstore, chat with the staff about a newly discovered author, meet him or her at a book signing that evening, and then discuss the book face-to-face with your book group.
Finally, there's the bookshelf issue. eBook fans celebrate the fact that a "stack" of digital books is lightweight, easy to tote around, and requires no storage space. But for many readers, one of the greatest pleasures of finishing a book is placing it purposely on a bookshelf, next to other well-worn volumes, to be cherished and reread, as Anne Fadiman described in Ex Libris, her 1998 essay collection:
"What I consider the heart of reading: not whether we wish to purchase a new book but how we maintain our connection with our old books, the ones we have lived with for years, the ones whose textures and colors and smells have become as familiar to us as our children's skin."
And, some might add today, don't have to be recharged!
Please join KRL for a spirited discussion on the future of the book.

Is A.J. Green The Next Larry Fitzgerald?
Cincinnati Bengals backup QB John Skelton made minor waves during the team's organized team activities when he compared WR A.J. Green to All-Pro Larry Fitzgerald of Arizona Cardinals.
Putting aside the large contrast in numbers and accomplishments for a second, the comparison may not be that far off. Their "measurables" are about the same, Fitz is 6-3 while Green is listed at 6-4. Green is about 10 pounds lighter than Fitzgerald, but both men have the ability break a tackle in the open field.
In regards to their statistics, Green's career is off to a better start. When Fitzgerald first stepped on the field for the Cardinals back in 2004, he caught 58 balls for 780 yards. Granted, he's only had one good quarterback during his time in Arizona, but he collected 2,189 yards on 161 catches over his first two seasons. For Green, he has 2,407 yards in his first two years and 162 receptions. Both men had 18 touchdowns in their first two seasons as well.
So giving a little credence to Skelton's argument, he isn't that far off. After all, he actually played with Fitzgerald and threw him the ball.
The thing about both receivers is they have the ability to out-jump most defenders and possess fantastic core strength as well as amazing body control. It was evidenced by Fitzgerald's 55-yard touchdown in Super Bowl XLIII. He pushed off of CB Ike Taylor's attempt to jam him at the line of scrimmage, caught Kurt Warner's pass and zipped downfield for the touchdown.
Similarly, Green has shown the ability to break away from a cornerback and out-jump him for a touchdown or muscle his way across the middle for a first down. The only qualities holding Green back from being on the same level as Fitzgerald is his age and experience. If he continues at his current pace – with the same quarterback – Green will eventually overtake Fitzgerald because he will probably have a better team around him.
Skelton may be just a backup quarterback in Cincinnati, but he could be on to something with Green's ability.

The popular live music venue hosted the powerful pipes of Geoff McBride during his run on the NBC music competition series "The Voice," and regularly sold out its limited seating for almost all of McBride's performances, even during the sparsely-populated winter season.
"It was a good party, but like all good parties, sometimes it turns midnight," owner Tommy Jackson told the Walton Sun newspaper.
Jackson said the closure was not about money, but about the wishes and desires of his family.
The music hall closed in April, for what was called a three-week hiatus. That temporary break turned into a permanent one earlier this month, when the music hall and cafe were closed for good.
Jackson also owns a wealth management agency in Birmingham, and a recording studio in Nashville, according to the Walton Sun report.
In memory of a great venue for music, here are some videos of McBride that I shot there in February. I'm bummed I won't get to see any more shows at First Note.

A 20-year-old Slidell man pleaded guilty Tuesday to the 2009 second-degree murder of Robin Lee Matteson, the owner of Parish Cab Inc.
Spencer Kashad Watts must serve a mandatory term of life imprisonment. He also pleaded guilty to one count of armed robbery in the crime, for which state Judge Raymond S. Childress sentenced him to a concurrent, maximum 99 years in prison, the St. Tammany Parish District Attorney's Office said.
The proceeding unfolded in Childress' chambers in the parish courthouse in Covington at the request of Watts' lawyers, D.A. spokesman Rick Wood said.
On the morning of April 6, 2009, Watts had argued with his stepfather, authorities have said. He called Matteson's taxi service, intending to rob and kill whoever responded.
As he had thousands of times before, Matteson, a 54-year-old husband and father of four, answered the call. He picked up Watts a few blocks from the home the passenger shared with his parents on St. Paul Drive.
Watts asked Matteson for a ride to the Parkway North subdivision off Brown's Switch Road near Slidell, where his girlfriend lived, detectives later concluded.
Matteson stopped on the way at the Circle K gas station on Front Street, and Watts went inside and purchased a pack of cigarettes. Watts wore a smile on his face, the assistant manager behind the counter that morning later recalled.
When they got to Parkway North, Matteson announced the fare. Watts stabbed the driver from behind 19 times in the back and sides of his head, St. Tammany Coroner Peter Galvan has said. Matteson died in minutes.
The cabbie's relatives became concerned about 4 a.m. that day because he would not answer his phone. A Parish Cab dispatcher called authorities. A couple of hours later, subdivision residents found Matteson's corpse slumped in his 1973 Checker Marathon cab.
Investigators combing the area for clues found the murder weapon at the scene and Matteson's wallet near Interstate 12. Watts was identified by the Circle K assistant manager. The Sheriff's Office arrested him at an acquaintance's house later that night, and it found several hundred dollars stolen from Matteson's cab.
Watts, who had turned 18 the previous month, allegedly admitted his responsibility in the killing during questioning, according to Sheriff Jack Strain.
The parish District Attorney's Office subsequently charged Watts in court with first-degree murder, which upon conviction is punishable by either life imprisonment or execution. But in March 2010, the court ordered a lunacy hearing to determine if Watts could assist his lawyers in his own defense. It sent him to the Eastern Louisiana Mental Health System for psychiatric evaluation and treatment, records show.
Prosecutors later changed the charges against Watts to one count each of second-degree murder and armed robbery, according to documents. By Tuesday, the defendant's hospital stay had ended, and psychologist Robert Storer reportedly testified that Watts possessed the ability to stand trial.
Watts, represented by public defenders Bill Alford and Kevin McNary, then admitted his culpability to Childress. Assistant District Attorney Nick Noriea Jr. handled the prosecution.
Matteson, originally from Meadville, Pa., lived in Slidell for three decades. He started his cab company on Fremaux Avenue more than a quarter-century before his murder and ran it there with his wife of 22 years, Linda.
He bought the Checker Marathon he was slain in from eBay -- he enjoyed collecting models of iconic American cabs.
Matteson grinned widely whenever he drove it, relatives have said.
Outside of the courtroom Tuesday, Matteson's daughter Jennifer expressed gratitude that Watts spared her family the pain of a trial. But that did not heal all, she said.
"I still don't comprehend how someone can commit such a crime," she said. "It's like killing someone over and over again."
Her 16-year-old son, Kyle, a student at Slidell High School, added that he was angered by Watts' lack of emotion in front of the judge.
"There was relief knowing he was going to (prison) for the rest of his life," he said.

US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton arriving at Titanic Belfast, in Belfast, Northern Ireland, 07 December 2012, the shipyard where once the legendary doomed 'Titanic' cruise ship was built, as part of Clinton's four-day trip to Europe. Hillary Clinton has been admitted to a New York hospital for treatment of a blood clot, reports said on 31 December 2012. Clinton, who suffered a concussion earlier this month, was admitted for observation, CBS television news reported quoting a spokesman for the State Department. Clinton, 65, will remain in the hospital for at least 48 hours. She was being treated with anti-coagulants. Clinton contracted a stomach virus and fainted, suffering the concussion on 15 December. She was recovering at home and being monitored regularly by her doctors who had recently been cleared to return to work. EPA/Michael Cooper / POOL

Wind, rain cant derail day at the races
For one Silverdale Soap Box Derby racer, it was the missing piece of an outstanding career.
For another, it was just the beginning.
Malia Barber, 11, and Lucas Hernandez, 11, are both headed to Akron, Ohio for the All-American Soap Box Derby on July 22.
For Barber, its her second trip, with Sundays overall win capping a perfect day in super stock racing, gaining the elusive Queen of the Hill title that was the last remaining accolade she wanted except for the return trip, of course.
It feels so good to finally get it, Barber said. Im just so excited.
For Hernandez, it was only his fourth race ever. But he drove perfectly, earning the King of the Hill crown in the stock races.
Its great, Hernandez said. I feel like Im in the royal family.
Hernandez and Barber were among 37 8-to-17-year-olds that braved early drizzle, a lot of wind, and some early slippery road conditions in the fourth annual Silverdale Soap Box Derby Sunday on Ridgetop Boulevard.
And while some moments were painful, some wet and some just downright hilarious, the Soap Box Derby left memories for all.
The two tents that were tied together totally flipped over, Cruzin Chics racer Megan Johnson said. It was bad. But of course it got sunny after we set our rain covers up.
Melissa Tippets, Johnsons mom and part of the Tippets family who were elected Washington states Family of the Year, said she was just glad the rain burnt off.
It was only drizzle, she said. It was never really severe anyway.
David Tippets said he was just glad it got dry after a last weekends rally race was eventually canceled due to rain.
Im just glad its not another day of racing in the rain, he said.
Rain-slicked Ridgetop Boulevard kept some cars from being able to stop at the end of the run. One racer dislocated his pinky finger after colliding with the sidewalk.
But aside from the early inconvenience, the day was warm, windy and chock full of smiles.
Its the most exciting thing thats ever happened to me in my life, said Greg Dyrness, who in the past helped his daughters race. This year he helped Hernandez and his brothers Levi, 9, and Simon, 13. Im a race fan. Its my living through somebody else.
Lucas Hernandez admits going for the win was his goal, although he had ulterior motives.
My goal was to get first, he said. They said if I get King of the Hill then Id get a new Xbox 360 game.
In terms of heading to the finals, Hernandez said hes just looking forward to the trip.
Just having fun, Hernandez said. I dont really care if I lose. Its just all the stuff you get to do. I cant wait.
Hernandezs brothers were also proud of his accomplishment. Simon Hernandez said he too has had a blast racing.
All the people, Simon Hernandez said. Theyre just really, really nice.
Little brother Levi agreed.
I just like getting trophies and having fun, he said.
Barber, who has made the Akron trip before, said she couldnt believe she was getting another shot.
Oy my gosh! she said after winning. It feels like I got a heart attack!
After building the car with her grandfather, Barber said she tried to find him first to celebrate.
I wanted to come up and give him a hug, she said. I got back up and I couldnt breathe. Running up that hill is a pain with a capital P!
The Queen of the Hill title was the last Barber needed to sweep the Silverdale Soap Box Derby honors over her racing career.
That was my goal, she said. But the other was to go back to Akron. Thats what I need. I wont fit in my car too much longer.
After winning, the first- and second-place finishers raced on foot back up the hill.
Olympic High School football players were on hand to help keep cars moving from the bottom of the hill back to the top, something assistant coach Tim Allbee said was great for his players.
They did good, Allbee said. They had a lot of fun.
Allbee said his team was only required to help out at the event for a couple of hours. But when it came time to depart, anyone that could stay voluntarily did.
This is just a great idea, Allbee said of the teams involvement. We get a chance to get our kids out in the community, helping out with a public event. And they get squat lifts all day.
Race director Bill Court, who organizes the annual event, said he keeps coming back for the same reason each year the kids.
Its my 37 kids, he said, referring to this years turnout. Just standing around with em. Its the kids.

The Department of Pre-College Program has partnered with the School of Nursing and the School of Engineering and Computer Science to offer two unique Saturday academies as part of GEAR UP, Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Studies. The six-year federal-, state- and OU-funded program prepared 8th graders from Oak Park and Pontiac schools for post-high school opportunities.
GEAR UP for Nursing will introduce participants to basic nursing fundaments, nutrition, pharmacology and career exploration. Students will learn the importance of math and science in pursuing a career in nursing. In addition, they will earn a CPR and First Aid certificate as well as a two-year Heartsaver certificate.
The engineering program, OU Can Do Engineering, will provide the GEAR UP students with information on how modern engineers transfer a design idea from their minds to a computer screen, analyze the structural integrity of their proposed ideas, verify their designs through experimental testing and present their ideas through formal oral presentations.
The program will provide students with an understanding of the basic principles that engineers use to develop products and systems as well as the importance of strong communication, math and science skills.
The programs will be held on Saturday morning each month for four months. Students will work with a variety of hands-on, interactive, related activities for each topic.
The Department of Pre-College Programs is discussing future academies with other OU schools that relate to their particular majors. For more information, contact Coordinator of Pre-College Programs Reginald McCloud at (248) 370-4455.

MIDLAND, MI – As ArtPrize 2013 begins gearing up for its September show in Grand Rapids, the Midland Center for the Arts is mapping out its annual chartered bus trip to the event.
Space is limited for the Monday, Sept. 23, venture, leaving the center at 1801 W. St. Andrews at 8 a.m. and returning about 10 p.m. that night. Suitable for adults, the trip costs $45 or $35 for Alden B. Dow Museum of Science and Art members.
Call 800-523-7649 or go online at mcfta.org before Monday, Sept. 16, to reserve a spot.
And before the bus ever leaves town, two of this year's artists, Midland's own Valerie Allen and Armin Mersmann, will help visitors map out their own signature tour of the expansive art festival.
"He Said/She Said," beginning at 5:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 13, at the center's Saints and Sinners Lounge with a cash bar, is free and open to the public. You don't need to join the bus trip to attend the artists' discussion.
"Armin and I have been reviewing the entries online (at artprize.org) and we've come up with our Top 10 lists," Allen said, admitting that their different opinions promise a spirited discussion. "We've been there for five years, too, so we're going to throw in our favorite venues."
Allen, in her own work and in what she's drawn to in others' art, leans toward the abstract that is atmospheric and often minimalist, she said, while Mersmann's abstracts never lose touch with reality. She responds to color; he's into contrast.
Of course, she added, their own works, Mersmann's "Through the Iris" and Allen's "Gravity Series," will receive an honorary mention.
"We've found that a lot of people are overwhelmed by all ArtPrize offers, and especially when you're on a bus trip, you only have five to six hours to zero in on what you want to see," Allen said. "If you have an idea of what you want to see, you can be off and running as soon as the bus arrives."
The center recommends that those going on the bus trip pack walking shoes and an umbrella. People are also responsible for their own meals during the day.
ArtPrize, open from Sept. 18 through Oct. 6, since 2009 has offered some of the largest cash prizes in the world to aspiring and established artists. The works are displayed in different venues within a 3-square-mile block and viewers 18 and older are invited to vote for their own favorites.
At the festival's close, ArtPrize will distribute $360,000 by public vote and another $200,000 by a jury vote. Several artists from throughout the Great Lakes Bay Region are taking part in this year's competition. Bay City native Chris LaPorte won the top prize in 2010 with "Calvary, American Officers, 1921."

Martin Luther King Jr. said in a parable of the Good Samaritan "The first question which the priest and the Levite asked was: "If I stop to help this man, what will happen to me?" But... the good Samaritan reversed the question: "If I do not stop to help this man, what will happen to him?"
Vickie takes these words to heart. What will happen to the children if we do not step in to help? This world is full of pitfalls and hazards. It is the training that you gain in your youth that helps you traverse these obstacles to be the person you were meant to be. Children that have not been dealt the best hand in life are at a higher risk of being in a negative situation. The job of a Good Samaritans like Vickie is to help build young people up.
Because she know that you can't be strong if you've never seen strong, and you can't speak truth if you have not heard true, and there's no way to give love if you have never known love, or if you've never seen the power that love has to create, to transform, empower, and overcome your present situation. Love in Abundance encourages children to greatness, nurtures them to excellence and instructs them on delivering those skills to the world.
The question was: If I stop to help what will happen to me, and what will happen to them? I can tell you for a fact that if we are talking about Miss Gunnells-Hodge and her efforts, the answer to both questions is Love in Abundance.

Thank you so much Andre for your unending support of me and all that I have to do for children who came into the world wanting to know how and wanting to explore everything... but have had some of that spoken or screamed out of them because someone in their life was not fulfilled so they do not know how to fulfill... Thank you for always getting me and why I do what I do!

Love in Abundance speaks clearly to it's purpose of loving others as God has directed. As a previous board member of this organization I experienced, first hand, the dedication, drive, and tireless hours that Vickie puts into ensuring that LIA continues to be a beacon of light to so many young girls. It is heart breaking to see the hopelessness in the eyes of these young lives. LIA brings to them a vision of a future they could not see. Their programs are tailored to build self esteem, basic skills, and focuses on importance of a good education. This great organization provides a life changing experience to young girls and guides their lives in a positive direction to a brighter future and endless possibilities.

Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis stepped out to walk the dog. The paparazzi must've been lying in wait outside! Mila looked a little shy about being caught without makeup. She shouldn't be: she looks great, well-deserving of her #2 spot on AskMen.com's Most Desirable Women list. It's the dog who should be most indignant, in my opinion.
The dog is just trying to do it's business, and it gets an audience just when privacy would be seriously appreciated! Ashton showed he's a responsible pet owner, however, cleaning up after his dog. Mila looks at the paps as they snap Ashton picking up after his dog, like, "You even want a picture of this?" The life of a celebrity.

Steel skeletons rise from the City Island earth, providing a glimpse of what will soon be a completely renovated Metro Bank Park. Noticeably missing are the aluminum general admission bleachers down the left-field line and the concrete of the concourse that circled behind the stadium's eastern end.
The boardwalk, which opened this summer from foul pole to foul pole in the outfield, continues to grow. When all is said and done, it will stretch nearly around the entire facility, which houses the Class AA Eastern League's Harrisburg Senators. Workers in hard hats and steel-toe boots wore T-shirts Wednesday afternoon as they traversed the dirt that surrounds the construction site.
"They're taking advantage of the nice weather, and things are progressing nicely," said Senators president Kevin Kulp, who visits the ballpark twice a week from the team's temporary offices in Harrisburg because "it's therapeutic."
The two-phase operation — Phase 1 began last winter and finished up during the 2009 baseball season — is scheduled to be completed in time for the Senators' 2010 home opener April 15.
The stadium was originally completed in 1987, when the Senators returned to the Eastern League, but has long been considered outdated. The city and state are sharing the $42 million price tag for the project, which will end with a state-of-the-art ballpark.
For updated artist renderings depicting the finished product, visit SenatorsBaseball.com.
GENERAL ADMINISTRATION BUILDING: Construction began on this building during the summer, and the brick facility behind left field will eventually host numerous entities. Included will be a park ranger office, the team box office, a concession stand along the boardwalk, team administration offices, and a team store that looks out over the field. "We've always been bare-bone in terms of merchandise because there was nowhere to display it," Kulp said. "We had the staples, but now we'll have a full-fledged store with everything available. And you'll be able to try things on." Kulp's staff of roughly 16 plans to move from the temporary offices on the 100 block of Market Street into the new offices before Christmas.
PLAY AREA: Where those ugly aluminum left-field bleachers once stood will host a play area, or Kids' Zone, next season. Kulp and general manager Randy Whitaker expect the area to host birthday parties, inflatable games and carnival-style games. The boardwalk will stretch above part of the play area, while other parts will be in open air behind new left-field seats. On the ground level behind third base will be three dugout suites, each containing 12 seats and available for rent to party-goers who want a close-up view of the action.
DUGOUTS & CLUBHOUSES: Notorious for some of the smallest clubhouses in minor league baseball, Metro Bank Park will feature moderate improvements on both the home and visitor's sides. Offices for coaches will move upstairs, providing more locker room space for players. Dugouts are expanded and moving closer to the field of play, while an umpires' clubhouse will be added behind the visitor's dugout. In fact, Whitaker expects batting averages to rise because players will have less room to make plays in foul territory. In addition to the dugouts moving outward, about 12 feet of ground will be moved out of play down the left-field line.
GRANDSTANDS & BOARDWALK: Bathrooms off the concourse level will still be available as they've been in the past, but new bathrooms are being added to the boardwalk level and suite/pressbox level. Open space in the old concourse area will house concessions, while stadium club seating is available off the boardwalk level, and the suites and pressbox are a level above. An elevator is being added along the first-base side. Of the 21 luxury suites being built, 19 will be sold and two will be available for rent. At least 10 units are still available, Kulp said, to interested buyers.
RIGHT-FIELD SEATING & PARKING: The old 200 level seating down the right-field line is staying right where it is. The bleacher-style seats will be cheaper options for fans and will undergo some upgrades. All other seating in the stadium will be individualized, with padded seats available behind home plate and in the suites. The picnic area will also remain down the right-field line. The parking lot is being expanded, with the batting cage next to the parking lot being removed. (New batting cages will be under the admin building.) Parking during game days will be available for VIP, players and media.
We'll visit Metro Bank Park again in January to provide further updates on the construction.

The Massachusetts baseball team lost two heartbreakers on Saturday. Against Monmouth (3-6) the Minutemen lost, 6-5, and against Navy (5-6-1), UMass lost 5-4.
In each game, UMass (3-5) took at least a tie into the final inning of play before letting up the winning run. The two losses put the Minutemen on a three-game losing streak. UMass faced above-average pitching in both games and received good efforts from its bullpen as well.
Outfielder Brian Baudinet was a bright spot for the MInutemen going, a combined 6-for-8 on the first day of a full weekend of games for UMass.
Costly mistakes for the Minutemen played a big part in the losses, while neither opponent committed a mistake in the field
The Midshipmen had a strong offensive showing from shortstop Kendall Bolt, the only Navy player with multiple hits. Bolt finished the game with two hits and two runs, including a triple and a single, when he came around to score the winning run.
First baseman Jonathan Berkowitz also chipped in on offense for Navy, hitting a 2-run homerun in the fourth inning.
UMass got two quick runs in the beginning of the game by way of an Adam Tempesta 2-run homerun of his own against Midshipmen starter Wes Olsen, who gave up five earned runs in seven and one-third innings.
Navy only needed Chris Murray for the final two and two-thirds of the game. Murray finished the games with three strikeouts to shut the door for the Midshipmen.
UMass starter Mitchell Klegg gave up Bolt's triple and a 2-run shot by Berkowitz in the fourth inning, his first earned runs of the game. He remained clean until the seventh inning when he gave up RBI hits to catcher Steven Soares and center fielder Nick Driscoll. Klegg finished the game with four earned runs, six strikeouts and two walks.
The game against Monmouth had similar hitting performances but the fielding was off for the Minutemen.
Baudinet went 4-for-4 with four singles but he was one of three Minutemen with a throwing error.
UMass left 11 players on base. Although UMass coach Mike Stone did rest some of his players in favor of getting his younger players some experience.
Left fielder Garrett Glashoff went 1-for-3 with two RBI.
Rick Neiderhaus, Mike Casale and Jamie Rosenkranz all had multiple hit games for the Hawks and each scored a run as well.
Jared Freni went seven innings for the Minutemen, giving up four earned runs on six hits and striking out four.
Releiver Mitchell Eilenberg hit a batter and walked another and gave up the second double of the game, allowing an unearned run to cross the plate.
The Monmouth hitters picked apart Freni evenly. Rick Niederhaus, Mike Casale and Jamie Rosenkranz all had two-hit games and scored a run for the Hawks.

SARANAC LAKE - In a heated match that saw three yellow cards handed out and one player get ejected, the Saranac Lake boys soccer team regained the top spot in the Division I standings with a 1-0 victory over Beekmantown on Monday at Schroeter's Field.
Saranac Lake snapped a two-game losing skid with the victory and improved to 6-2 in Division I of the Northern Soccer League. Senior Blake Battistoni notched the winning goal for the Red Storm with just 1:28 gone in the second half.
The Eagles came into the match leading the league with a 5-1 mark after falling to the Red Storm earlier this season. Both teams now have two losses. Saranac Lake owns the tiebreaker over Beekmantown after completing the regular-season sweep.

"We're back on top," Saranac Lake head coach Josh Marlow said. "This was a win we really needed. We had to get back to our winning ways. We haven't been playing our best soccer the last couple of games. In those games, we made some mistakes in our defensive end and our opponents made us pay.
"Before the game, we didn't talk about where we were in the standings," Marlow continued. "We came in here with the feeling that we haven't won a game all year. We said 'Let's go back to our roots and play good soccer.'"
Beekmantown finished with a 16-12 advantage in shots. Senior Oliver Holmes earned the shutout in nets for Saranac Lake with nine saves. Matt LeClair also had a solid outing in goal for the Eagles and recorded six stops.
LeClair had little chance of making the save on the only goal of the game, which came on a great play crafted by a fired-up Red Storm team shortly after intermission. Junior Ethan Sawyer started the play by taking control of the ball near midfield along the left side of the field. Sawyer advanced the ball up the wing and sent a pass to Brad Shumway, who then crossed the ball the ball to Battistoni, who was charging toward the net on the right wing. Battistoni then fired a shot into the net past a diving LeClair.
"That was about as nice as a goal as you'll see," Marlow said. "It was a great passing play."
The Eagles had one player yellow-carded in the first half, and then were left short-handed late when another Eagle was ejected with about seven minutes remaining in the match.
"Our plan was to put pressure on Beekmantown, and they just buckled," Marlow said. "We really kept our composure out there in an important game against a very good team. I'm proud of our guys."
The Red Storm, who are 6-2-1 overall, will be at home again Wednesday to host AuSable Valley starting at 4:30 p.m.

Manchester City's love affair with the Champions League continues this season, and one should expect changes with the Citizens' approach to the competition.
Newly appointed manager Manuel Pellegrini will have his eyes set on a good start to the Premier League, but it's in the Champions League where his and his players' performances will be dissected. Similar to Roman Abramovich at Chelsea, Manchester City's cash-laden owners demand success in Europe's premier club competition.
It won't be easy, as the Citizens look set to face another tough group.
Pellegrini has a great track record with smaller clubs in the competition but only reached the round of 16 with Real Madrid. His first task will be to get the club out of the group stage, though, as they have yet to do so in the past two seasons.
Pellegrini's arrival—as well as the introduction of Jesus Navas, Fernandinho, Stevan Jovetic and Alvaro Negredo—should make that possible, but here are five changes Manchester City must make to challenge in the Champions League.
