CBI: More March Madness
Selection Sunday, a phrase which now seems to merit capital letters, is 25 days away. And for those inevitably jilted outfits on March 16, we have some good news: No matter how bad your RPI, no matter that you've finished 2-8, no matter about that loss to Wofford, you may still be coveted — twice, even. To put it the way the NFL might: Are you ready for some (more) basketball? There's a new tournament on the scene: the 16-team College Basketball Invitational. And it could well involve a team like Washington. The fledgling CBI is being run by the Gazelle Group of New Jersey, whose Web site says it "creates, represents and consults across sports, entertainment and cultural activities." It put together the College Hoops Classic (the preseason Coaches Versus Cancer event climaxing in New York) and the CBE Classic in Kansas City won by UCLA.
Residents upset that Pittsburgh suburb may tweak pet quota
MONROEVILLE, Pa. - Some residents in the Pittsburgh suburb of Wilkins Township are upset that council wants to change one word of its pet ordinance. For 36 years, the township has allowed three pets per "resident" but council wants to change that to read "residence." The township's attorney says it was always the intent to limit pets to three per residence, not three pets for each person who lives in a home. The new ordinance would contain an exception for fish and smaller animals and birds that are caged, allowing 10 of those animals per household. More than 50 residents signed a petition opposing the change. They say the number of pets should not matter as long as they are cared for properly. ,,, Information from: Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, http://www.post-gazette.com .
