Milford Mayor Joseph "Ronnie" Rogers, Downtown Milford Inc. Executive Director Lee Nelson, Milford School District Superintendent Phyllis Kohel and Milford Economic Development Director Steve Masten talk about their goals for 2013.
Bring more jobs to Milford
Name Joseph "Ronnie" Rogers
Title Mayor of Milford
One of my top goals for 2013 is for city council to work on getting Milford's economy into shape by bringing more businesses and more jobs into the area.
Encouraging a vibrant local economy is vital to keeping Milford the best place it can be to live and work. It's going to take a lot of work to do it, but I think one of the most important things we, as elected officials, can do for our community is help to provide jobs for our citizens.
One of the things we can do to help promote economic growth in Milford is make sure we're keeping our utility costs in line with other cities in Delaware to ensure that we're staying competitive for businesses looking to come here or keeping the ones we already have. We're already looking forward to some projects that are nearing completion, like the (PSEG Solar Source) solar farm (off of Milford-Harrington Highway), that should help us do that.
Another thing we need to look at is the incentives we're offering companies to encourage them to come here. We need to be sure those incentives are fair and effective at encouraging new businesses to get started here and that they're actually helping to attract the types of good-paying jobs we're hoping to attract for our citizens.
Work together to improve downtown Milford
Name Lee Nelson
Title Executive Director of Downtown Milford Inc.
Our goals for 2013 include helping existing businesses thrive with cooperative advertising, specialized consulting and events focused on bringing residents and visitors downtown.
We also want to actively partner with local businesses, organizations and the city to ensure local commitment and shared achievement in making Milford a great place to live, work, play and shop; encourage appropriate new businesses to open here to broaden Milford's appeal as a quality shopping, family friendly and vibrant destination; and enhance our unique historic downtown character with attractive beautification programs and quality public art.
We plan to achieve all these goals in a cost effective way by relying on volunteers and sponsors.
Downtown is the heart of Milford. DMI's mission is to promote, support and encourage local businesses, quality of place and vibrancy in the 30-block downtown area within the context of historic preservation. DMI's goal is to maintain and enhance a healthy downtown to benefit the whole town.
Cooperation is key: the DMI, its volunteers, the city, local businesses and groups partnering to help Milford grow brings us together.
The two most important goals for the year are interlinked. The USDA grant to bring specialized consulting and the Delaware Division of the Arts and Lions Club grants enabled us to continue the beautification of downtown with a public art project. Helping and promoting local businesses brings more visitors downtown. Once downtown, the public art project makes downtown more interesting.
We are Milford. River Town. Art Town. Home Town.
Foster successful future for students
Name Phyllis Kohel
Title Superintendent of the Milford School District
My goal for 2013 is to introduce more options for students to succeed.
During the coming year, I resolve to do all that we can to offer the students of the Milford School District a rigorous, challenging education that will prepare them for a successful future. We will work toward offering programs that can specifically address individual student needs; we will work toward implementing a dual credit program for juniors and seniors to earn college credit prior to leaving MHS; and we will work toward increasing the graduation rate for all students.
According to the College Board, a school with a college-going culture is "a place where college is the next step for everyone. When students have school, parental and community support, college is seen as the norm: higher education is the expectation rather than the exception."
Attract new business and help expand existing enterprises
Name Stephen Masten
Title Director of Economic Development
My goals for 2013 including working to attract new businesses and expand existing businesses consistent with the Milford's Economic Development Plan and Complete Communities project, as well as help create and develop jobs for local residents and promote the city's various economic development initiatives
These goals are important because organized economic development initiatives will support and connect existing projects, add new businesses and industries that will provide jobs for local residents, and add value our already vibrant business community.
In the coming year, the Economic Development Office will be working to attract start-up businesses in targeted development areas, provide resources, support and guidance to individuals hoping to start a business or expand a business, and help to identify funding options for existing and new businesses through grants and economic development programs such as small business loans. Identifying business development opportunities will be key to creating jobs for local residents, strengthening existing businesses and supporting new businesses.
With the addition of a web presence and the use of social media, the Economic Development Office will enhance communication and demonstrate the importance of using new technologies to promote economic development. We hope to introduce ways to support or to strengthen current business initiatives that will be profitable and beneficial for all stakeholders.
Milford's Economic Development Office will spearhead these initiatives and provide support for existing businesses to move forward, locate resources and develop a network of workable business strategies. The office will customize solutions and business development specific for the Milford area.

A Longmont tobacco store owner is facing criminal charges and is being sued by the Colorado Attorney General for selling the synthetic cannabis product known as spice.
Sang Leaming, 26, owner of Tobacco King, was arrested Monday after he was served a lawsuit filed by the Attorney General's Office.
Leaming was arrested on one count of possession of synthetic cannabinoids, a misdemeanor, and one count of distribution of synthetic cannabinoids, a felony, Boulder County District Attorney's spokeswoman Catherine Olguin said.
Leaming is being held in the Boulder County jail on a $1,000 bond, Olguin said.
The criminal charges and civil complaint come weeks after the state health department launched a probe into a rash of illnesses related to the use of synthetic-marijuana products.
Three deaths also were reported, however it is still unknown if those deaths were directly connected to the use of synthetic marijuana, Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment spokesman Mark Salley said.
The state health department and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention investigated 263 emergency room visits between Aug. 21 and Sept. 19. Of those, 165 are likely linked to synthetic marijuana use, 31 are associated with an unknown drug, 67 are still under review, and six are unrelated to synthetic marijuana use.
Suthers' office began an investigation into Tobacco King after a mother of a sick teenager contacted authorities claiming spice made her child ill, said Carolyn Tyler, spokeswoman for the attorney general's office.
Spice, illegal in Colorado and banned by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, often comes in colorful packets marked with names such as Spice or Black Mamba. The substance looks like dried herbs or sand and can mimic the effect of marijuana when it is consumed, but does not leave a THC trace in urine samples. The substance often has dangerous added chemicals that are not disclosed on the label.
More than 1,000 containers of spice products were seized from Tobacco King by agents of the Colorado Department of Revenue, Liquor & Tobacco's enforcement division, Tyler said.
"By prominently displaying the spice alongside common smoking accessories, Tobacco King made the spice appear to be safe and legal," Attorney General John Suthers said in a news release. "We have already seen a number of serious health effects from these dangerous products."
The complaint further alleges Leaming and his store sold the products knowing they were harmful if consumed, Tyler said.
While Tobacco King was directly target in the lawsuit, the complaint does not allege the store's products caused of any of these recent emergency room visits, Tyler said.
The complaint was filed under the Colorado Consumer Protection Act with Boulder County District Court.
Leaming has yet to be officially charged by the district attorney's office.
Last week, a Colorado Springs woman whose son died after smoking synthetic marijuana sued the Colorado Springs convenience store that sold him the substance.
Stephane Colbert found her son, Nicholas, 19, dead in their home Sept. 21, 2011, after he smoked synthetic marijuana, according to a wrongful-death lawsuit filed Thursday in Denver District Court.

North Royalton resident Jake Sawyer, 16, waded through more than ankle-deep water as he stalked the big fish in the dark Monday night and eventually trapped it.
First he tried to throw a towel over it to stun it. He said when that didn't work, he tried to push it toward a curb.
"I just slowly put my hand on it, and then once it got comfortable with me, I just kind of bear-hugged it and lifted it up," he told The Associated Press on Wednesday.
Sawyer said heavy rains that day had caused flash-flooding as high as his mailbox, and he suspects the large grass carp slipped out of a nearby pond as the water rose.
He said he wanted to ensure the fish didn't become trapped and die in the street, so he carried it back to the pond. He estimates it weighed 40 pounds.
"I think our only option was to put it in the pond," he said. "I mean, I could've put it in my pool, but it would've died."
The result, he said, is one fishing tale he'll never forget.

Hey Kristin, it's Karen from "the blog." I have had this whole thing on my mind quite a bit and needed some closure. While I don't feel like I can post on your blog, I hope I can comment here without getting chastised. I want you to realize the effect this has had on me. I just have to get it out to get this off my mind some.
Your blog has gone past offensive into hurtful and mean. Because you refuse to take any responsibility for your comments about my religion, some of your readers came to my blog, yes, per my request, and made, not offensive comments, but hateful. Here is an example:
"I agree with Anonymous above. Take the B-E-A-M out of your eye, lady. Alternatively, go live in some other non-free country like for instance, China. You would fit in well there. I have read Kristin's blog for more than a year. YOU disrespected her character with YOUR hate speech regarding her choices as a CHILD.
Take what you're parroting someplace else."
Not offensive, but hateful Kristin. This has really gone too far. I actually deleted the entire post because I couldn't mentally handle the attacks on me as a person and my faith. This kind of stuff really takes a toll on a person. And it adversely affects my family.
Your language has created hate towards another person. I'm sure this is not what you set out to do, but this is what it has turned into.
Just FYI. Thanks and good luck with everything you do.

Bethesda is (unsurprisingly) working on patches for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim on all platforms. In the meantime, PR VP Pete Hines has directed fans on how to report bugs through the proper channels, and asked for "a little time" as they work to correct the problems.
"Patches/updates take a little time. We can't turn it around quite that fast. It's been three days. Calm down. We're working on it," Bethesda's Pete Hines assured fans.
In a series of posts on Twitter (via Eurogamer), Hines tells fans that using the official contact form is better than contacting him directly. To another inquiry, he said the team is working on patches to fix "any bugs and perf issues we can," but warns that it might not be comprehensive. "We will fix as much as we can for your platform," he said. "I don't know if it will fix 'your' bug. Takes a while to test/fix/regress. Hang in there."
So far the most publicized glitch is on the Xbox 360, where installing the game actually results in lower quality textures. Bethesda had previously said it was working on a patch to address that bug, but PS3 and PC owners are apparently having their own texture and freezing issues as well. No time-frame was given for the patches.

Wrestling Weekly, a look at the upcoming regional prospects
It is the big weekend for area high school wrestlers and the rest of the winter sports season. Wrestling is the first sport of the winter season to hold its state series and it starts Saturday with the regional level.
Pontiac will be hosting in Class 2A while Dwight and Prairie Central will hit the road.
The following is a look at the area wrestlers who should and could advance to the sectional level.
Pontiac Indians
The Tribe won 236 of 448 bouts this season and will have two wrestlers who have at least 30 wins and are state-ranked. Two others will hit the 30-win plateau Saturday if they are able to advance.
Leading the charge is Alex Friedman, the 160-pound senior who is sporting a 35-1 record and ranked third in Class 2A. He has a team-high 17 pins and is tied for team honors with 4 technical falls. He also has 120 takedowns.
Friedman reached state last season. There is one other ranked 160-pounder at the Pontiac Regional but there could be six at the Rochelle Sectional.
Stephen Richardson is 30-3 and ranked fifth at 132. He has 10 pins and 4 tech falls. There are two honorable mention wrestlers at Pontiac and up to seven ranked foes at Rochelle.
Senior Eric DeMattia is sitting at 28-8 with 13 pins. He will hit the 30-win mark if he reaches the title bout. He is among the honorable mention ranked wrestlers at 138 pounds.
Freshman Vaughn Hobart will be looking to take a huge step at 145. He, too, would hit the 30-win plateau should he reach the final. He has 12 pins but is not among the ranked. Ten of his losses have come to ranked foes in close matches.
In the grand scheme, these four Indians will likely move on. Andrew Mays (13-7) is getting back into shape after surgery earlier this season. He has a shot at 220 pounds with all his wins coming via a pin. He is one of five ranked or honorable mention wrestlers at Pontiac.
Darin Trout (17-13) at 113 and Matt Richardson (19-18) need to wrestle very well to advance, but it is not out of the question for these two to join the others.
Prairie Central Hawks
Head coach Ben Morris feels there are up to eight Hawks who are expected to advance out of the Bismarck-Henning Regional to the Olympia Sectional. Six are either ranked or honorable mention.
Evan Bahler has the most experience for Prairie Central after finishing fourth at state at 138 pounds last season. He is ranked seventh at 145 and is the only ranked competitor in the field.
Ben Traub is a past sectional qualifier and is looking at moving on again. He is ranked eighth at 138 in a group that has just two ranked wrestlers.
Brett Bennett is one of three ranked at 285. He is seventh and will be in a tough field with the top two ranked heavyweights in 1A standing in the way.
Cody Parks is ranked 10th at 220 pounds and is the only ranked wrestler at that weight.
Another question mark is John Kupferschmid at 182. At 15, he is the only ranked wrestler in his weight class at the regional and would normally be favored. But Kupferschmid is dealing with a shoulder injury that may hinder his chances.
Sam Schuler is an honorable mention pick at 152 and is one of two ranked at Bismarck-Henning.
Paul Garcia and Tyler Keneipp each stand a chance despite not being ranked. There are no ranked opponents for Garcia at 132 and Keneipp, at 170, has just one.
Missing out due to an injury is Andrew Schuler at 160. He is ranked ninth and would be the favorite to win the regional.
Dwight Trojans
Lenny Tryner's club has been shorthanded all season, but there is some quality headed to the postseason. Tryner believes there are five Trojans who can get out of the Seneca Regional.
In terms of record, Brandon Allen is the best at 29-4 and owns a win over 13th-ranked Tommy Lovett of Seneca. Allen is not one of the two ranked wrestlers. The other — Matt Marcotte of Herscher — owns no wins over a ranked opponent. He has battled to get to this point after starting the season at 152 and wrestling at 170 despite being well under that weight.
"(He) has put on a few more pounds the last few weeks and is looking stronger than he has all season," Tryner said.
In terms of ranking, Mikal Kelly is the top DTHS grappler. He sports a 26-5 mark and is ranked fourth at 152. He has tough road as one of three in the field ranked in the top five.
"I think he is getting more confidence after winning I-8," Tryner said of Kelly.
Anthony Bauer has shown signs of brilliance this season and is on the verge of hitting the 30-win mark with his 29-11 record. There is only one ranked 195-pounder at Seneca and Tryner said Bauer is riding momentum.
Two others with shots are Chance Larsen at 132 and Jon Gallentin at 138.
Tryner said Larsen (16-16) has been better on his feet of late and could get third if he wrestles well.
Gallentin (22-14) has been night and day this season, Tryner said.
"If he shows up and wrestles like we have seen him a few times he could be in the third place match," Tryner said of Gallentin. "But most of that is going to depend on what wrestler shows up."

Pilar Sanders Suing Deion & Deiondra Sanders For $200 Million Over Tweets
If you recall the Deion and Pilar divorce was pretty low key until Deiondra dropped this bomb on Twitter (Deion Sanders' Daughter Deiondra Goes on Twitter Rant, Calls Pilar a Gold Digging Ho).
After that things got a bit messy.
It had been quiet for a few days after a slew of accusations had been thrown around and ending with Pilar holding a knife and the police being called.
I get the feeling though that silence won't be lasting………
In her lawsuit, Pilar claims Deiondra and Deion have been attacking her with various "emotional weapons" for years … including dominance, humiliation, isolation, threats, intimidation, denial and blame.
Pilar claims the Twitter rant was just another example of the humiliation she was forced to endure during the marriage … adding, "[Deion and Deiondra] even persuaded [Pilar] that she was and is worthless, a 'gold diggin' ho, and that no one else would want her."
Pilar also claims the two would intimidate her by leaving various weapons on display around the house and "hurting pets."
Pilar is demanding $150 MILLION in punitive damages and $50 mil in actual damages.
To my understanding Pilar is still living in the house with Deion.
Would love to know what they talk about at the dinner table.

A small bear gave a Broomfield family a bit of excitement Thursday morning.
Rosemary Floyd said she was home about 9:30 when a neighbor warned her to bring in her cats because a bear had been seen in the neighborhood.
One cat was at the rear of her yard near a wooded area.
"I picked him up and brought him inside when my daughter screamed, 'There's a bear in the backyard,' Floyd recalled.
"I thought she was just kidding."
But her 9-year-old daughter was serious.
Floyd described the bear as an adolescent male, "kind of scrawny looking." She said he circled the play set in her yard, then jumped the fence into the neighbor's yard.
Floyd knew her neighbors were out out town, as she had been tasked with watching their dog in their absence. She also knew that the dog had access from the house to the yard — which meant the bear might be able to get into their house.
"I called 911 right away," she said.
Police and wildlife officials responded, but by the time they came, the bear was gone. There wasn't any damage to the dog or the neighbor's house.
Floyd said she and her husband have lived in the house for 13 years with their four children, but they have never before seen a bear — not even in three trips to Yellowstone National Park.
"We just had raccoons," Floyd said, "but I never expected a bear."
Officials warned her that the bear might come back, and that the mother bear is probably nearby.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife spokeswoman Jennifer Churchill told the Broomfield Enterprise that her agency has been getting reports of a young bear in the area since Sunday morning. Sightings were reported Thursday in the 1000 block of Flint Way.
Floyd said her children, ages 12 to 5, now refuse to go outside until the bear is caught.
She added, "I guess it's indoor time."

Tuesday nights have a knack for being light, fun nights that include a few big lines, a breakout player or two, and otherwise serve as a way to get prepared for Big Wednesday. Last night was no different as Samuel Dalembert came out of nowhere to put up a 17-of-21 shooting line, Pau Gasol went down to plantar fasciitis, and there was plenty of action to talk about this morning.
For real-time news and information, click here to follow me on Twitter.
Teague Pass Alert
Jeff Teague continued to pour it on in a forgettable loss to the Pacers, scoring 24 points with eight assists, a steal, and a block. With the team lacking playmakers, he's going to tote the rock enough to be a threat for big numbers nightly.
The Pacemaker
The Paul George show went on as he scored 29 points with five treys, five boards, and four assists, as did the impressive play of Lance Stephenson (14 points, six boards, three assists, two threes, one block). Stephenson has somewhat risky short-term appeal in standard leagues with Danny Granger's return nearing.
Gasol Goes Down
Pau Gasol may have heard a "pop" in his plantar fascia during last night's game, but that sound you heard was Laker nation getting kicked in the groin. He will get evaluated today and one has to think he's in for a significant absence, so Antawn Jamison (nine points, eight boards, one three, 37 minutes) has immediate appeal that could turn into lasting appeal should Gasol and Dwight Howard (shoulder, day-to-day) remain out. Metta World Peace did not play after getting assessed a one-game suspension for punching Brandon Knight in the throat, but I'd have to be fairly loaded not to take a flier on Jamison at this point.
Earl Clark (14 points, 12 boards, one steal, one block, 42 minutes) should have been owned before tonight and his value gets solidified with Gasol's injury. Kobe Bryant's right forearm issue is lingering and he had another subpar night shooting the ball, hitting 9-of-24 shots with zero threes and an otherwise full line. It's got to kill him that Howard isn't playing, right or wrong.
Same Old Story
The Nets couldn't buy a bucket last night as Deron Williams (5-of-13 FGs), Joe Johnson (4-of-15 FGs), and Gerald Wallace (3-of-10 FGs) were the main culprits. Brook Lopez hit just 11-of-25 shots, but at least that led to 30 points, 11 boards, and three blocks in a loss to the wounded Lakers. Wallace finished with nine points, three rebounds, four assists, three steals, and a three in 36 minutes, and owners should get used to calling this type of production a win. Chances are he'll step into a slightly better offensive role (it can't get worse), but barring a major injury he is an expensive glue guy on this team and nothing more. In the one league I added him in I'm holding for the time-being.
Pulling the String
The Suns went into Memphis and snagged a win, which may say more about the Grizzlies than anything right now. Lindsay Hunter pulled some interesting strings benching Jared Dudley (0-for-5 FGs, 17 minutes) for Kendall Marshall (11 points, four assists, three treys, 33 minutes), and seeing those 3-point makes one has to think he'll be going the Jason Kidd route to shooting in the NBA. I need to see more than one good game to think that Marshall has any portion of his shooting issues worked out, and he is still nowhere near a threat to Goran Dragic (17 points, four assists).
Marcin Gortat scored 20 points with seven boards but annoyingly did not have a steal or block, and Michael Beasley did what Michael Beasley does with six points and five boards in 21 minutes off the bench. Blame it on the off-court drama if you want, but the bottom line is that consistency may be a career-long issue.
Flushing It Out
I'm going to give Memphis a pass for another week or so, as they dealt with the Rudy Gay drama that appeared to be pretty bad internally and could easily need that time to get right. Zach Randolph's back injury wasn't an issue as he went for 21 and 13, but everybody else suffered except for Jerryd Bayless, who scored 29 points on 11-of-15 shooting. He's not positioned incredibly for long-term value, but the Grizzlies might have him pegged for some of Gay's touches. He's worth an add, but carries some risk of fizzling out. Tayshaun Prince scored 11 points on 5-of-12 shooting with six rebounds, four assists, and three steals in his first start. He appears to be cemented into a heavy role and is worth a look for his low-end value.
Sour Grapes
Every time my Warriors have me on the edge of believing that they're a solid bottom half of the bracket playoff team they go and do something to muck it up, as they did in last night's blowout loss in Houston. Yes, every team will have their off-nights and it's not a good idea to factor any such night too heavily into an evaluation. But from coach to player they complained about the Rockets running up the score – as if the Rockets were supposed to cross halfcourt and just hand them the ball – and it's this kind of stupid that worries me the most.
After lucking into an addition by subtraction situation dealing Monta Ellis, enhanced by additions of Jarrett Jack, Carl Landry, and Draymond Green, they have been very good frontrunners. But between running players onto the court too early, a rah-rah attitude that fails to look at its own flaws, and questionable decision-making out of the coaching box I still need to see more to be convinced that this group has any chance of getting out of the first round barring a weird matchup. I like what GM Bob Myers has done, but Mark Jackson's wistful, coach by narrative philosophy overseeing a group of contracts that can't win a title isn't doing it for me long-term, either. Once Warriors fans get over the honeymoon of having an owner that actually cares, these will be issues that need resolution.
As for the game, Golden Boy David Lee hit 8-of-10 shots for 18 and seven, but was typically worked over down low in a reminder that there are two sides of the floor. Stephen Curry hit 3-of-12 shots for seven points and nine assists, Klay Thompson hit 3-of-5 shots for six points and not much else, and the bench played most of the second half in the Warriors' 31-point loss. Jarrett Jack scored 20 points with five assists, Carl Landry scored 12 points with five boards, and Andrew Bogut played 25 minutes on his way to 10 points, nine boards, three assists, and one block. Bogut won't play tonight against the Thunder but he has done well when on the floor so owners should hold on for now.
Rockets Tie NBA 3-Point Shooting Record
The Rockets cruised and tied an NBA record for 3-pointers made with 23 triples, and heading that list was iffy for last night Jeremy Lin (ankle), who hit five total to finish with 28 points, nine assists, and one steal. Hopefully he was in your lineup. There weren't any major revelations and owners shouldn't read into a blowout win of this type, though Patrick Patterson's 12 points and 10 boards continue a recent return to productivity. Carlos Delfino (elbow) did not play last night and is already ruled out for tonight's game.
Sammy Delight
If you had Samuel Dalembert hitting 17-of-21 shots for a career-high 35 points with 12 rebounds, you are probably Samuel Dalembert. I went back and watched every bucket just to see what type of vintage Dally performance we would be talking about, and the best I can say is that he made a lot of wide open shots and feasted on some awful JaVale McGee defense and the poor Nuggets defense in general. One of his misses was an offensive tip attempt, too, and one has to think he earned a chance at a greater role going forward, but the question is whether or not he will do anything with it. The Sacramento reporters covering him lamented the fact that Dalembert fancied himself god's gift to offensive basketball, which led to cringe-inducing fallaway jumpers and the like. It's the reason he has flamed out in both Houston and Milwaukee, and here's guessing that one game doesn't change that body of work. So is he worth an add? Only if the wire is bare and you have dead weight.
Larry Sanders took a hard fall in a play that had the makings of one of the great dunk/challenges in recent memory, as Kenneth Faried came into the paint with nobody around and rose up early and high when he saw Sanders in the lane. Sanders' effort wasn't what one would have expected, perhaps because of how early Faried took off in the air, but regardless the result was Sanders getting knocked on his butt and out of the game. It was later in the fourth quarter so it's possible they kept him out for precautionary purposes, but any report to indicate the injury will cost him further games will help Dalembert's cause, obviously.
With the Dalembert experience trolling around Denver's paint, Ersan Ilyasova (six points, four rebounds, two assists) was limited to just 24 minutes. Factor in Monta Ellis (6-of-21 FGs) and Brandon Jennings (5-of-15 FGs) trying to outshoot one another and he had no chance. Ilyasova was hot coming in so owners shouldn't be heading for the exits, but it's understandable that everybody is gun shy with the inconsistent fantasy asset.
Same Story, Good Enough For Win in Denver
The Nuggets had enough guys play well to take the win at home against the Bucks, but some familiar fantasy headaches popped up. Ty Lawson (22 points, seven assists) and Andre Iguodala (eight points, five boards, five assists, four steals, two blocks) couldn't get it going offensively on the same night, though Iggy's owners won't care with that defensive effort. Kosta Koufos (six points, eight boards, no blocks) played just 17 minutes, which is disconcerting because JaVale McGee (eight points, five boards, four blocks, 18 minutes) didn't look good despite the block total. It's safe to move on from Koufos and McGee is the same untapped upside guy that looks like a bust. Corey Brewer scored 20 points and is worth a look while he's hot despite his inconsistent bench roll.
News and Notes
Keith Smart said that he has decided he's going with Isaiah Thomas and Jimmer Fredette as his two point guards, leaving Aaron Brooks out of the rotation. It's shocking that it took a professional basketball coach this long to make this happen, and it's unclear if Smart even knows the reasons for why he did it. This does, however, look and smell like a chance for Thomas to play 30+ mpg going forward. And even if Smart would rather have offense-killers Tyreke Evans, DeMarcus Cousins, John Salmons, and even Chuck Hayes run the point rather than his only traditional point guard, Thomas will be able to hold value at that rate.
Joakim Noah (plantar fasciitis) is targeting a Thursday return, and to sum up my feeling on the matter my concern is that he'll try to play through something he should be resting and get knocked out for more time. That actually happened with this injury in 2009-10, and Tom Thibodeau runs his players into the ground, but I need to couch all of this by saying it's not guaranteed that this happens. This is just my fear.
Wednesday Night Lights
BOS @ TOR: Andrea Bargnani (elbow) is expected to return and come off the bench, and it's logical that the Raptors would want to give him plenty of touches to enhance his trade value. Whether or not Rudy Gay and Co. see things that way is another story, but regardless the time is now to stash Bargnani with hopes that he gets traded to a favorable situation. Is he a must-add player? Not if you're stacked and not if you're in a shallow league. He has mid-round upside in the most optimistic of scenarios. Landry Fields (back) is out as his role in Toronto has been threatened overnight. As for Boston, it's just another night trying to figure out who separates from the pack in the wake of the Rajon Rondo injury.
NYK @ WAS: Bradley Beal (shooting wrist) did some light shooting and is questionable for tonight. If he is indeed good to go then he's worth a look if he has been dropped. I just foresee some rough patches until the Wizards officially go young or somebody in the backcourt gets hurt. Several Knicks players have been lackluster lately, including Raymond Felton, Jason Kidd, and J.R. Smith. This is a decent place for one or more of them to get on track.
CHA @ CLE: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (concussion) seemed doubtful for tonight 24 hours ago, and his absence has opened things up for the five-guard rotation. Byron Mullens played heavy minutes in his return on Monday and is a viable option in fantasy lineups. I'll be watching Marreese Speights closely tonight. I added him in a big money league for about $140 of $1,000 FAAB dollars with plenty of budget remaining, and the hope is that he severely outplays Tyler Zeller and forces the rookie into a secondary role. There is also some hope that he has matured after a few pit stops and drill sergeant Byron Scott can keep him in line on the court.
IND @ PHI: The news on Thaddeus Young (hamstring) came back pretty bad but it wasn't as bad as it could have been. He will miss a minimum of three weeks and that means he should be held in any format that doesn't strictly penalize owners for holding injured players. Spencer Hawes jumps into must-own stats, and LaVoy Allen and Dorell Wright each get a bump. There was also an update on Andrew Bynum (knees), and while it seems like reading the tea leaves with everything Bynum says could be a mistake, it sure didn't sound like he's sure about his return. You've come too far to not hang on just a little bit longer, but if reports start to head south then dropping him has to be on the table.
LAC @ ORL: Blake Griffin (hamstring) will be a game-time decision and while his absence on Monday was precautionary, the fact the Clips are playing the Magic could mean an extra game's worth of rest. ESPN LA speculates that Chris Paul (knee cap) could return as soon as Friday or Sunday, and officially he is day-to-day after working with the team for their last two practices. Chauncey Billups could play anytime this week, and his return will eat away at the wing positions more than anything else. We will be waiting for a boatload of updates on the Magic guys, including J.J. Redick, Jameer Nelson, Arron Afflalo, and DeQuan Jones.
MEM @ ATL: Devin Harris (ankle) did not travel to Indy for last night's game and is questionable for tonight's home game against the Grizzlies. I'm pretty much done with entertaining any value for him until he proves it with some consistent results. The fact he can't stay on the court following Lou Williams' season-ender is telling.
HOU @ MIA: Other than Carlos Delfino, there are no injury question marks for either team and most fantasy pieces are well-labeled at this time.
BKY @ DET: Andre Drummond (back) is "good to go" for tonight and we'll get another look at the Jose Calderon show tonight. Brandon Knight struggled in Calderon's debut and is likely a bit shell-shocked knowing that the organization has brought in somebody to ease the load on him, so early struggles aren't too surprising. He'll probably level out toward the type of numbers we saw last year when he was deployed in a shooting guard role. And to the reader that spent way too much of their day telling me that fantasy analysts don't understand basketball and that there was no way that Calderon would run the point, you're officially famous, Mr. Laukonis.
GSW @ OKC: As mentioned, Andrew Bogut (ankle) won't play tonight but other than that both teams are at full strength. I wish I could say the Warriors would bounce back, but after beating the Thunder at Oracle and getting their panties in a bunch last night I'm guessing they get worked tonight.
PHO @ NO: Eric Gordon (back, knee) will play tonight and with a bunch of rest look for him to put up a nice night against the defenseless Suns. For my money, if I owned Gordon I'd have my sell-high offers ready to go so they land on owners' plates in the middle of his good game.
POR @ DAL: Nicolas Batum's wrist MRI came back clean, and for now it looks like he'll play through the pain. For the millionth time, beware of shooting wrist injuries, but in the case of Batum you need to be very picky if you look to move him. On the good news/bad news front, the Blazers will literally implode without Batum which is why he's playing through the pain. Chris Kaman (concussion) did some light shooting but still hasn't practiced, so his return is at least a few days out. Vince Carter (flu) did not practice and is questionable, and if he doesn't go look for the starters to absorb most of his value.
MIL @ UTA: Gordon Hayward's shoulder injury doesn't sound great, and owners can certainly consider a drop but I'll personally be waiting until news worsens significantly and/or until the trading deadline. It doesn't hurt that the Jazz's point guards are banged up. Keep an eye out for Larry Sanders news, as we'll all be patiently waiting to learn the big man's status.
SA @ MIN: Andrei Kirilenko (quad) is questionable for tonight and could be a game-time call. I like Dante Cunningham over Derrick Williams as beneficiaries. Nikola Pekovic said that his groin was limiting him, but he has been playing great so he should remain in all lineups. Tim Duncan is traveling with the Spurs on their nine-game road trip and is questionable for tonight, but it doesn't sound like he'll play. The good news is that the injury doesn't appear to be too serious, and the bad news is that it gives Gregg Popovich plenty of ammo to give him prescribed rest. Manu Ginobili is also doubtful with his hamstring injury, and this all profiles well for guys like Kawhi Leonard, Danny Green, and Tiago Splitter.

DURHAM, N.C. – Led by outside hitters Jeme Obeime and Emily Sklar, the 23rd-ranked Duke volleyball team posted a season-high .402 hitting percentage en route to a 3-0 (25-14, 25-18, 25-20) victory over visiting Miami Saturday evening at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
The tandem of Obeime and Sklar combined for 33 kills and just six attack errors as the duo hit .472 to pace a potent Duke attack. Sklar tied her career-high with 20 kills, registering a season-best .429 hitting percentage, while Obeime put down 13 kills on 22 attack attempts with just one error.
Overall, Duke (18-3, 9-1 ACC) amassed 54 kills, averaging 18 per set, compared to 31 for the Hurricanes. The Blue Devils also outdug Miami (13-7, 6-4 ACC), 49-30, and totaled five service aces to two for the Hurricanes.
"[We're] excited to get this one," said head coach Jolene Nagel. "Miami has some tremendous athletes and they've played really well against us over the past few years. Emily [Sklar] and Jeme [Obeime] have been doing a great job for us all year. We've made some improvements in other areas, and I think that's actually taken the pressure off our outsides and allowed them to be more successful."
Twenty-four hours after defeating No. 18 Florida State, Duke did not relax against Miami, storming out to an 11-6 advantage in set one. The Blue Devils' offense was firing on all cylinders in the opening frame as Duke hit .577 in the 25-14 set victory. Sklar, who extended her streak to 13 consecutive matches with double-digit kills, was one of four Blue Devils with three or more kills in the frame, leading the way with five.
"To be at home and have the first set go like that, it gave our team confidence," Nagel added. "What I liked is that our team didn't relax and stop playing defense or stop blocking. We did a good job of maintaining that intensity throughout the match."
Miami again struggled to contain Duke's offense in the second set. The Blue Devils racked up 19 kills and limited the Hurricanes to nine during the stanza. After establishing an early seven-point advantage, Duke maintained its lead the rest of the way and captured the set, 25-18.
A kill from Miami's Savanah Leaf cut Duke's lead to 19-17 in the third game before the Blue Devils used a timeout to regroup. Duke closed out the match on a 6-3 run, icing the victory with three-straight kills from Sklar.
Junior setter Maggie Deichmeister tossed up 45 assists while also targeting middle blockers Chelsea Cook and Jordan Tucker. Cook had a solid all-around night with seven kills, five blocks, three service aces and three digs. Tucker also got in on the action, hitting a team-best .857 with six kills and no attack errors.
Defensively, senior Ali McCurdy and freshman Sasha Karelov anchored the Duke back line. McCurdy, Duke's career digs leader, picked up a match-high 15 digs and Karelov added 10 to help the Blue Devil cause.
Leaf led all Miami players with nine kills on the night, while libero Ryan Shaffer added a team-high 11 digs.
Next up, Duke plays host to Syracuse Friday, Nov. 1 and Boston College Saturday, Nov. 2 in Cameron Indoor Stadium.

For various technical reasons, a lot of Rockmelt's Chromium customization is done at the
#ifdef level and by adding new files to existing Chromium static libraries. This leads to an unusual situation for testing. You don't have nice, isolated components to test, where you can just mock dependencies. The bottom line is that the native client side of Rockmelt has virtually no automated testing. There is an off-shore QA team that manually tests the product (or rather, various parts of it since it is too big to test entirely) every night and reported defects are subsequently assigned. Due to the complexity of Chromium itself and the deep integration of Rockmelt, it is often difficult to figure out what's wrong from the black-box description of the QA team ("When I drag a URL to a friend icon, sometimes it doesn't show the share dialog"). A lot of time is spent trying to reproduce bugs and find the root causes. The Rockmelt technical leadership identified this situation as a serious quality and productivity issue.

They brought in Google's testing guru Miško Hevery to talk about testing. Shortly thereafter, I started a pilot project to make Rockmelt's client code testable. I discovered early on that refactoring Rockmelt's code outside of Chromium's libraries was the key. With a lot of work in which I had to dig my way backwards and define interfaces and wrappers for transitive dependencies, I was able to completely decouple one Rockmelt service, called AppEdge, and make it fully testable with no concrete dependencies. I'll give you an idea of what this service does so you can appreciate the complexity: It manages a list of custom apps and RSS feeds that are displayed on the edge of the browser. It supports downloading over the network and installing/upgrading Chromium and Rockmelt extensions. It responds to user clicks and menu selection, it launches apps, and it sends notifications to other components. Overall, it had about 15 dependencies and served as the source of about 10 events/notifications. At the end, all this technology was completely testable.
Testing via Plugins
Numenta does unusual work, such as reverse engineering the brain and building intelligent machines based on the neo-cortex. Numenta created a platform for intelligent computing called NuPIC that had a C++ engine with Python bindings, several Python frameworks, and a set of Python tools. At Numenta, testing was paramount and there was a battery of tests starting from C++ unit tests for the core engine ranging up to Python-integration tests and performance tests. As a machine-learning platform, NuPIC presented many testing challenges. In the early days, there was a lot of trial-and-error experimentation, but with time, better tools and understanding of the internals allowed more introspective tests and metrics.
My first project when I joined Numenta was to design a plugin framework to allow third-party developers to plug their custom C++ algorithms into NuPIC (NuPIC has always supported custom Python algorithms, but sometimes users needed C++'s raw speed). It was a cross-platform C++ framework and it presented some unique testing challenges. One of the major goals, which is very difficult to do in C++, is to allow the plugins to be built using different compilers than NuPIC used. This way, third-party developers were not locked into Numenta's choice of a compiler and both sides were free to upgrade their tool chain without breaking compatibility. How do you test such property?
An important weapon in the arsenal was incremental integration while running the plugin framework side-by-side with the hard-coded algorithms in the existing runtime engine. This approach was beneficial because it allowed black-box testing of the plugin framework, as well as running experiments using the hard-coded algorithms wrapped as plugins. I created plugins that reused the logic inside the fixed algorithm nodes and then constructed experiments that used the same networks with the same algorithm types and connectivity except that on one network the nodes used were the concrete (old) sub-classes of the runtime engine, and on another network all the nodes were
PluginNode hosting the same algorithmic code. This allowed apples-to-apples comparison both in terms of accuracy and also in terms of performance (maybe the plugin framework does something funky and wastes a lot of time or memory at some point).
C++ Test Frameworks
With C++ (just like in any other language), you have the choice of writing your own test framework vs. using some off the shelf test framework. Normally, I opt to use existing tools, but test frameworks may be different. One reason you would want to build your own is to get tight integration with the build system. Another reason is that most test frameworks are either geared toward developer-level unit tests or QA-level running all the tests. Finally, writing a test framework is easy and fun and gives you full control. If you are working within some application framework that provides a test framework, try to use it first. For example, at Rockmelt we used the Google/Chromium code base, which comes with its own test framework, so it was a no brainer.
I use mock objects a lot in my tests, but I have never tried any mock framework. My only excuse is that I never felt the need. When I write code, I think of each dependency as a potential mocking target that I need to provide via an interface. At this point, writing a mock takes literally seconds and, if I need to, I can even write a little tool to generate a mock object automatically from an interface. This generally works well for me and enables testing using the test framework of my choice.
Deep testing is guaranteed to reduce the number of undiscovered issues down the line. In C++, in particular, it can present difficult problems that require original solutions. In rare cases, it might require rebuilding the code under test. But in other situations, developing plugins to the main program that duplicate its activities will provide a viable testing sandbox. And in other circumstances, it might be necessary to write your own testing framework. But with the right mindset and approach, deep testing is very cost-effective. Non-trivial code will contain bugs. And it's up to you to use deep testing to remove them before they show up in the field.

Ever wonder where beaver go in the winter?
Ever wonder where beaver go in the winter? What about when their wetlands dry up and the river is so low? Come along and we will hike out to a large beaver chewed tree and a lodge left high and dry by the dry weather. The group will then travel to another part of the park and see where a beaver has built a new lodge for the winter.
With luck, the group will get to actually see the beaver under the ice. From the visitor center the group will travel in their own vehicles to both sites in the park. A park staff person will lead everyone to the sites and talk about beavers and their habits.
So, bring sturdy footwear and clothing to be outside depending on the weather. The hike is planned to go rain or shine or snow. Hikes are relatively short but require stooping, walking on uneven ground, and there could be some slippery spots. Questions may be directed to the park at 320-564-4777.

Groton concert the gospel truth
Groton - When life in the Navy was difficult, Joseph Brickhouse said he pulled through because he always had a song in his heart.
Gospel music, he said, "helped me my entire career."
Brickhouse, an ordained minister and a yeoman first class who works at Submarine Group Two, said he organized the Commander, Submarine Group Two, Black Heritage Month Gospel Choir Concert at the Seaport Community Church Saturday to bring the community together. It was the third annual event.
"Everyone has had struggles," he said. "This month we celebrate the struggles the African American race has been through and overcome."
Renee Sebastian, an alto with the choir from the Walls Temple AME Zion Church in New London, said, "Our children need to know about their ancestry."
About 150 people, a mix of military members and civilians, went to the concert to hear six choirs from southeastern Connecticut and New Jersey perform. Many stood, sang and clapped.
Lt. Roilynn Williams, a chaplain at the Naval Submarine Base, said the military is such a rigid environment, "you need an outlet where you can shout and cut loose."
"Particularly within the African American community, gospel music has been our way since slavery of expressing ourselves," she said. "It takes you out of your present reality. It's hard to describe. Gospel music is just awesome."
Louise Jaeger, of Mystic, said she went to the concert because she too, loves gospel music. Jaeger, who is 81, sang and performed in choirs for more than 70 years, she said, until she couldn't sing anymore.
The Joyful Silvertones, a male a cappella group from Summit, N.J., started off the concert with "Gospel Ship." Rod Williams, the musical director, said the performance, their first in Connecticut, was "an opportunity to inspire and motivate."
"Service members' lives can change in a moment," added Michael Miles, a tenor in the group. "It's good to know that they're going into service with one of our songs on their mind."
Rev. Milton Biggham, a Grammy award-winning artist with the Georgia Mass Choir, was the featured guest. Biggham said he served as an infantryman in the Army from 1967 to 1969, including a tour in Vietnam, so he understands what service members go through.
"They're put in harm's way so often and they need encouragement. They need strength. They need to know that we care and last, but certainly not least, they need to know that God cares," he said. "I feel like I'm an ambassador to bring that strength, that encouragement and that joy to them, for that is what gives them the strength to face tomorrow. And we don't know what our tomorrows hold."
Lt. Mark Dunning, the weapons officer at the submarine group, said spiritual music kept him going while he was at sea on submarines. Dunning said he brought his 17-year-old son, who is considering serving, to the concert to show him how supportive the military can be.
Capt. Dale Green, who represented the submarine group at the concert, said there are close ties between faith and service, and the concert is a "special, special event."

The plan for spring football practices at Colorado is to take things slow and teach players to do everything the right way. Offensive and defensive schemes will be installed gradually to avoid overwhelming a roster full of players who have been beaten down by losing in recent years.
First-year coach Mike MacIntyre met with reporters today at the Dal Ward Center to discuss his plans for spring ball, which begins Thursday afternoon at 3:30 and continues into mid-April. The spring game is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. Saturday, April 13, (Pac-12 Network) but there will be one practice that occurs after the spring game.
MacIntyre said he is keeping it simple – at least initially – to allow players to play fast without having to think much. He believes doing so will allow coaches to best evaluate each player's individual ability.
"You don't want to paralyze them and then you can't see and you're thinking, 'Well, god, that guy is not very good. Well, it's because he's thinking so much,'" MacIntyre said. "The second half we'll be putting in more and more, but we will not have the whole offense or the entire defense in by the end of spring.
"They will have all the major concepts in though, which to me learning anything is learning the concepts. If you learn the concepts and you can add wrinkles to it, you're fine."
MacIntyre and his coaches have insisted they haven't formed opinions about players ahead of time through film study of last season. He said he is waiting to get on the field with the Buffs to see what each player is capable of first hand.
With that philosophy driving things, the Buffs enter spring with no depth chart. Players are grouped together by position and will earn their spot on a future depth chart based on how they perform.
MacIntyre said the first eight practices will be used primarily to teach and evaluate. At the midway point of spring, when players get a week off for spring break, coaches will begin forming a depth chart and will whittle the number of quarterbacks involved in the competition for the starting job from six to three.
It is a decidedly different approach than what can be expected in the future as MacIntyre continues to build his program.
"Next spring at this time, we'll just go out there and start calling it," he said.
MacIntyre said he has four primary goals for the spring.
* Come out completely healthy
* Form a two-deep depth chart
* Have good idea of where incoming freshmen will have to impact depth chart
* Continue building the culture he envisions
It has been more than three months since the disastrous 2012 season at Colorado ended with the Buffs producing a 1-11 record, the worst in the modern era of the program. Former coach Jon Embree was fired and the school turned to MacIntyre after looking at several other coaches.
MacIntyre turned around San Jose State from a program that was 2-10 and in trouble with the NCAA because of its shabby academic performance in his first season to one that excelled last season both on and off the field. CU and its fans are hoping he can pull off the same kind of transformation in Boulder and the work on the field begins Thursday afternoon.
MacIntyre said he has purposely taken things slow at other stops in his coaching career just as he plans to this spring at CU. He said it's a philosophy he has developed over time and one that was really ingrained in him during his time coaching in the NFL under coach Bill Parcells, who hung up a sign when he coached the Dallas Cowboys that said, "Knowledge equals confidence equals playing fast."
"I really believe that's true," MacIntyre said. "You don't have time to really think out there. You've got to react."
All of spring practices will be open to the media and the public. MacIntyre said he doesn't want any details of what goes on at practice published by fans on Internet message boards or blogs or he will be forced to close practices. It's unclear how CU plans to police the policy with at least a half-dozen fan sites and several newspapers who cover the team offering fans the ability to comment anonymously on their sites.
"Zero, I don't want anything out there," MacIntyre said when asked what his expectations are for things fans shouldn't be discussing on the Internet. "If we do and I can't stop it, then we'll have to close practice and I do not want to do that.
"I want a dad who is home on an afternoon and his 8-year-old boy looks at him and says, 'Dad, I want to go watch practice.' I want him to be able to take him to practice and experience that. I want him to fall in love with Colorado football or even fall in love with football because I love this game. So I do not want that to hinder it."

In science news, I have a very exciting new project in the works (here's a hint!) that will have a red-hot online outreach component. I'll announce it as soon as the web parts are ready.
I'll still be writing for Double X twice a week, and I would absolutely love more feedback over there. You do have to register in order to comment, but it only takes a few seconds. Isn't it time to expand the glorious world of marine science into lady-blog-land?

While the Leavenworth High School Junior ROTC program has hosted a drill meet in the past, it's been so long that officials are treating an upcoming event as the school's first drill championship competition.
While the Leavenworth High School Junior ROTC program has hosted a drill meet in the past, it's been so long that officials are treating an upcoming event as the school's first drill championship competition.
Students in the JROTC program regularly compete in drill meets at other schools. And the local JROTC battalion has hosted drill meets for junior guards from elementary and middle schools.
But Jan. 12, the Leavenworth High School JROTC battalion will host a competition for JROTC teams from 16 other high schools. Retired Lt. Col. David Black, senior Army instructor for the local JROTC program, said the last time Leavenworth High School hosted this type of event was 15 or 16 years ago.
The drill competition is scheduled for 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Jan. 12 at Leavenworth High School, 2012 10th Ave. It is open to the public and there's no admission charge.
As is tradition for host schools, teams from Leavenworth High School will not be competing in the drill meet. But local JROTC students still will be performing for the public.
Black said members of the community generally don't have the opportunity to see the local JROTC teams perform. They also don't get to see the level of performance that is common for drill meets.
"So we want the community to see what a drill meet looks like," he said.
Leavenworth High School's honor guard with weapons and honor guard without weapons will be performing at noon Jan. 12. Black said the teams will be performing their new exhibition routines, and they'll be appearing in their new uniforms.
If there's time, a team of first-year drillers also will perform a regulation routine. Black said a regulation routine involves marching in the same manner that soldiers do in the Army. He said exhibition routines are more freestyle.
Black said schools participating in the drill meet will be coming from as far away as Illinois. He said some of the schools are considered to be in the top 10 in the nation in terms of JROTC drill teams.
Leavenworth High School has an Army JROTC program. But other branches of the military will be represented by the schools that will be competing Jan. 12.
During the drill meet, the parent support group for the local JROTC battalion will be having a silent auction.
Black said officials plan to make the Leavenworth High School drill meet an annual event.
"It will just be better next year," he said.
And while the JROTC Pioneer Battalion is based at Leavenworth High School, the program includes students from other local high schools.

New London will organize a new St. Patrick's Day committee
New London — With no success in negotiations for an agreement with the organizers of the annual Irish Parade, the mayor announced Wednesday that he has created a new parade committee.
A St. Patrick's Day Parade is now planned for Sunday, March 17. Event coordinator Sean Murray, assisted by Downtown New London Association Executive Director Barbara Neff, will head the committee, a press release from the mayor's office said.
The president of the New London Irish Parade Inc. committee, City Councilor Marie Friess-McSparran, said the committee ran out of time to respond to the city's latest terms for granting a permit for the event.
"We were in negotiations, and unfortunately the administration gave us an offer late Friday afternoon on a holiday weekend, and we were not able to reach all our committee members by a close of business Tuesday deadline," Friess-McSparran said Wednesday.
Friess-McSparran told a columnist for The Day last week that the committee was planning to move the parade out of New London, prompting Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio to accuse the organizers of playing politics.
Negotiations revolved around the amount the city would charge the committee for police and public works services. Under an executive order issued by the mayor earlier this year, the city will not give out special event permits until estimated charges for services are paid in full.
The mayor said Wednesday that the two sides were stalled over whether the committee, a nonprofit organization, would pay $7,500 for the shorter route used until this year or approximately $4,000 more for the longer route followed in 2012. The committee, he said, wanted to keep to the longer route but pay the lower amount.
Friess-McSparran said the parade should have been billed at different rates since the City Council had made it a city-sanctioned event, but Finizio said he couldn't make an exception to the established rates because a group "has a political connection."
According to the press release, Murray approached Finizio and the DNLA about starting a new committee after negotiations failed to produce a permit for the NL Irish Parade Inc.
"The NL Irish Parade Committee has produced a well-organized event that has benefited New London for the past few years and it is unfortunate to see them go but this is a great event for New London businesses and is a lot of fun for our entire community," Murray said in the mayor's press release.
Neff and Finizio said they have heard from numerous downtown businesses that want to contribute. The mayor said the city will charge the same rates offered to the New London Irish Parade Inc., based on the traditional, shorter route (South Water to Bank to upper State streets) or last spring's loop of Jay, Huntington, Tilley, Bank and State streets and back.
Friess-McSparran and Finizio each said Wednesday that the other side had been heading toward this ending right along.
Friess-McSparran said she did not believe that Murray's offer was a surprise to the mayor. "It appears that he has been planning it for some time. It did not just come up today," she said.
Finizio disagreed.
"I believe this was a set-up from start to finish," he said. "Their intent was to leave New London and cast the blame on the administration."
Friess-McSparran said the committee has had discussions with "numerous municipalities" about moving the parade but can't yet say where it could go.
The new parade committee is not a city committee, the mayor said, but is working through the DNLA.

Three Huskers Finish in Top Three at Big Tens
Champaign, Ill. - Jake Sueflohn (149) and James Green (157) fell in their championship matches and Robert Kokesh (174) won his third-place match on Sunday at the Big Ten Championships.
The Huskers finished seventh with 61 points. Penn State won the team championship for the third consecutive year with 151 points.
Sueflohn was pinned by Minnesota's Dylan Ness, the No. 3-seed, in the finals at 149 pounds in 3:37. Sueflohn, a sophomore, entered the match after winning a pair of decisions on Saturday over Andrew Alton and Ian Paddock. He is 22-5 on the season following his second-place finish.
Green also took runner-up honors after being pinned in 6:38 by No. 2-seed Jason Welch of Northwestern at 157 pounds. On Saturday, Green defeated Indiana's Taylor Walsh before upsetting No. 1 Derek St. John of Iowa in the semifinals. Green is 20-4 this season.
Kokesh won two matches on Sunday en route to a third-place finish at 174 pounds. The sophomore posted a 10-1 major decision over Michigan's Dan Yates before his rematch against Jordan Blanton of Illinois. Kokesh trailed sixth-seeded Blanton 3-2 before a reversal with 13 seconds remaining that secured the 4-3 victory. He is 33-3 on the season and entered the top-10 season wins by a Husker sophomore on Sunday.
Senior Josh Ihnen (184) won a 3-0 decision over Ohio State's CJ Magrum but lost an 8-1 decision to Iowa's Ethen Lofthouse to finish fourth. Ihnen went 3-2 at the Big Ten Championships to climb within three wins of the 100th of his career. He is 24-6 this season.
Junior Shawn Nagel faced Michigan's Rossi Bruno in a rematch of his first-round loss on Saturday at 133 pounds. Nagel fell again, this time by a 5-2 decision to finish eighth.
The Huskers conclude the 2012-13 season at the NCAA Championships, March 21-23, in Des Moines, Iowa.

BROOMFIELD -- The city is one step closer to allowing residents of single-family homes to raise chickens after elected leaders Tuesday night passed the first reading of an ordinance reversing a ban on the animals.
The City Council took up the issue after residents urged Broomfield to allow chickens in single-family residential neighborhoods. Chickens are only allowed on some agricultural properties in Broomfield.
The council voted to move forward an ordinance that would allow families to have up to five chickens as long as they are kept in a backyard coop 10 feet away from property lines. The council still must approve the ordinance after a final reading Feb. 26.
If the ordinance passes, Broomfield will join 11 other metro-area cities that allow residents to raise backyard chickens.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. - Sophomore left-hander Trent Swart limited No. 13 Florida to two runs over six innings and sophomore right-hander Andrew Istler recorded the final four outs in the game as the Duke baseball team edged No. 13 Florida, 4-3, Friday evening at McKethan Stadium at Perry Field.
Swart, who did not earn the decision against the Gators, retired 10 straight batters at one point and gave up just four hits while striking out four. Junior Robert Huber (1-0) came on in relief to pick up the win, surrendering one unearned run, while Istler earned the save, the fourth of his career. Istler, a native of Wellington, Fla., came on with two outs in the bottom of the eight and retired all four batters he faced, including a strikeout to end the game.
"Trent Swart set a tone for the whole ball game," said head coach Chris Pollard. "[He] pitched great and really competed early. Put a lot of zeros up on the board early and that gave us a chance to get our offense going against a really good arm. We saw arguably the best arm we're going to see all year on the first night of the season. And [Jordan Crawford] was very, very good. He was as good as advertised. But Trent going in there and getting a lot of quick outs ... he did exactly what he needs to do which is pitch to contact."
Junior catcher Mike Rosenfeld led the Blue Devils at the plate, going 3-for-5 with a double, a triple, an RBI and a run scored. Junior third baseman Jordan Betts added a two-run homer in the fourth, while senior right fielder Jeff Kremer, junior shortstop Angelo La Bruna and junior center fielder Anthony D'Alessandro, who tripled in the fourth, added a hit each.
Florida grabbed an early lead, scratching out a run in the bottom of the second. With two outs, Gator designated hitter Justin Shafer singled to right center and advanced to third following a walk to third baseman Josh Tobias and a wild pitch. Right fielder Cory Reid proceeded to drive in the first run of the game with an RBI single.
Duke responded in the top of the fourth as redshirt sophomore Chris Marconcini led off the inning with a walk. Betts then belted the 0-1 offering from Florida starter Jordan Crawford over the fence in left center to give Duke a 2-1 advantage. Crawford, who surrendered just two home runs all last season, threw 3.2 innings, giving up two runs on three hits with four strikeouts.
"[Betts' home run] got everybody loosened up," said Pollard. "We talked about the fact that [Betts] was going to get challenged with fastballs. And we said before he went to the plate, 'You're going to get a fastball to handle early in the count. Get your foot down and be ready to hit it.'"
Swart did not permit a baserunner over the next two innings, but Florida was able to tie the game at 2-2 in the bottom of the sixth on a sac fly from first baseman Vickash Ramjit.
A strong defensive effort in the seventh prevented Florida from reclaiming the lead as second baseman David Perkins gunned down Shafer trying to stretch a double into a triple and La Bruna made a diving stop up the middle to record the final out of the inning.
With the momentum in its favor, the Blue Devil offense put two runs on the board in the eighth. Kremer drew a walk to lead off the inning and Rosenfeld drilled a triple to deep center field to put Duke up 3-2. A Florida error allowed Rosenfeld to score from third, bolstering Duke's lead to 4-2.
Florida got a run back in the bottom half of the frame as a Duke error on a pickoff attempt allowed leadoff man Harrison Bader, who reached on a fielder's choice, to score from third. With runners on first and second and two outs, Istler took the mound and got Ramjit to fly out to right to end the threat.
Florida left-hander Corey Stump (0-1) suffered the loss after giving up two runs on a hit and a walk in the eighth.
Duke returns to action against Florida tomorrow as the Blue Devils and the Gators are set for game two at McKethan Stadium at 4 p.m.

CHELMSFORD -- Victims left homeless by Saturday's fatal fire at Woodcrest Condominiums have had their immediate needs met, according to organizers of an aid drive, who are now asking the public to help those residents furnish their new homes.
The drive is ending collections of all clothing and other items at all collection points, including fire stations and the Senior Center, organizer Stefani Bush said.
Now the few dozen Woodcrest residents whose units were destroyed in the two-alarm fire most need monetary donations to pay for furniture and other necessities for their new residences, Bush said.
Monetary donations may be dropped off at any Enterprise Bank or mailed to the bank's location down the street from Woodcrest at 185 Littleton Road, Chelmsford, MA, 01824. Checks may be made out to Woodcrest Fire Relief Fund, C/O CHOICE, Inc.
Questions may be directed to a new email for the drive: firstname.lastname@example.com. A website, www.woodcrestfirerelief.com, has also been set up.
A fundraiser is being planned for sometime in February.
The fire, which has been ruled accidental, started late last Saturday night. Susan Astle, 67, and Paul Deslauriers, 77, were killed in their third-floor condo. Fire officials have not announced a cause.

DURHAM, N.C. - The eighth-ranked Duke women's lacrosse team got out to a fast start and weathered multiple Vanderbilt scoring runs to outlast the Commodores, 15-12, Saturday afternoon at Koskinen Stadium. Nine different Blue Devils tallied goals and freshman goalkeeper Kelsey Duryea turned in an impressive performance in her first start to help Duke improve to 5-1 on the spring.
"I was really pleased with how we started the game," said head coach Kerstin Kimel. "Obviously we gave up a couple of runs and we needed to do a better job of sticking with our game plan. But I am grateful that we were in a tight game. We haven't been in a tight game yet and we are going to be heading into some tough games coming up in the next couple of weeks."
Sophomore Kerrin Maurer paced the squad offensively, matching a career-high with a four-goal performance. The Setauket, N.Y., native also dished two assists to push her Atlantic Coast Conference-leading total to 14 helpers through six games. Senior Makenzie Hommel, junior Maddy Morrissey and sophomore Taylor Trimble also netted two goals apiece to lead a balanced scoring effort by Duke.
The Blue Devils scored five goals in the first 10 minutes of play and extended their run to 8-0 on scores by junior Chelsea Landon and Maurer. Kelly Chandler put the Commodores on the board with an unassisted goal at the 14:08 mark in the first half, and after a quick response by Duke's Molly Quirke, Vanderbilt found the back of the net five times over the next 10 minutes to cut it to 10-6 at the intermission.
Duryea tallied seven goals and the Blue Devils held a 10-7 advantage in draw controls and a 14-13 edge in shots during the first period. Vanderbilt won the ground ball battle in the first half by an 8-3 margin.
The Commodores continued their scoring run after the break, adding four more goals to knot the game at 10-10 with just under 22 minutes to play. Freshman Maddy Acton won the ensuing draw control and Maurer converted on a free position attempt to put Duke back in front. The two teams traded goals over the next couple possessions before Morrissey and Maurer capitalized on a pair of man-up opportunities and sophomore Erin Tenneson added a score just before the final buzzer to send the Blue Devils to the 15-12 victory.
"We conceded a big lead but we kind of circled back," Kimel said. "I thought our kids did a good job of holding strong in the last 10 to 12 minutes our defense did a great job. It is one of those games that we are going to learn a lot from, move forward and get ready to play a tough Georgetown team next weekend."
Junior defender Taylor Virden hauled in a career-best six draw controls and Trimble recorded five as Duke won the category, 15-14. Virden also posted a team-high two caused turnovers in the win. After struggling on free position attempts in last week's loss to Maryland, the Blue Devils were perfect in 8-meter attempts Saturday with a 5-of-5 showing as a team.
Duryea finished with 12 saves in goal for the first victory of her collegiate career. The rookie from Beverly, Mass., also picked up three ground balls in the contest, while her counterpart, Chelsea Pasfield, totaled seven saves for the Commodores.
Up next for Duke is a visit to Washington, D.C. to face No. 11 Georgetown on Saturday March 9 at 1 p.m.
