Capsules for the NBAs Southeast Division, listed in predicted order of divisional finish by AP Basketball Writer Tim Reynolds:
___
SOUTHEAST DIVISION
WASHINGTON WIZARDS
LAST SEASON: 44-38, lost to Indiana Pacers 4-2 in second round.
STARTING FIVE: G John Wall (19.3 ppg, 4.1 rpg, 8.8 apg), G Bradley Beal (17.1 ppg, 3.7 rpg, 3.3 apg), F Paul Pierce (13.5 ppg, 4.6 rpg, 2.4 apg), F Nene (14.2 ppg, 5.5 rpg, 2.9 apg), C Marcin Gortat (13.2 ppg, 9.5 rpg, 1.5 bpg).
KEY ADDITIONS: Pierce (free agent, Nets), F Kris Humphries (trade, Celtics), F DeJuan Blair (trade, Mavericks).
KEY LOSSES: F Trevor Ariza (trade, Rockets), F Trevor Booker (free agent, Jazz).
COACH: Randy Wittman, fourth season with Wizards (91-122), ninth season overall (191-329).
EYES ON: Beal. Wall is supposed to the brash one, but it was usually more reserved shooting guard who proclaimed on media day that the Wizards have definitely the best backcourt in the league. The process of backing it up was set back when Beal broke a bone in his wrist in preseason, which should sideline him about six weeks. Its hard to imagine the Wizards going far without his smooth shooting touch.

Capsules for the NBAs Pacific Division teams, listed in predicted order of divisional finish by AP Basketball Writer Jon Krawczynski:
___
PACIFIC DIVISION
LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS
LAST SEASON: 57-25, lost to Oklahoma City 4-2 in second round.
STARTING FIVE: G Chris Paul (19.1 ppg, 4.3 rpg, 10.7 apg), G J.J. Redick (15.2 ppg, 2.1 rpg, 2.2 apg), F Blake Griffin (24.1 ppg, 9.5 rpg, 3.9 apg), F Matt Barnes (9.9 ppg, 4.6 rpg, 2.0 apg), C DeAndre Jordan (10.4 pgg, 13.6 rpg, 2.5 bpg).
KEY ADDITIONS: G Jordan Farmar (free agent, Lakers), F/C Spencer Hawes (free agent, Cavaliers), G Jared Cunningham (free agent, Kings), G Chris Douglas-Roberts (free agent, Hornets).
KEY LOSSES: G Darren Collison (free agent, Kings), G/F Jared Dudley (trade, Bucks), F Danny Granger (free agent, Heat), G Willie Green (waivers, Magic), C Ryan Hollins (free agent, Kings).
COACH: Doc Rivers, second season.
EYES ON: Steve Ballmer. He could rival Mark Cuban of the Mavericks for most excitable owner in the NBA with his over-the-top enthusiasm. Hawes, a 7-footer, was a key addition to the frontcourt as a backup to Griffin and Jordan. Paul, Griffin and Jordan enter their fourth season together with expectations running high to win the franchises first NBA title.

By ANNE M. PETERSON - Associated Press - Tuesday, October 21, 2014
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Not a whole lot has changed for the Portland Trail Blazers.
The starting five - LaMarcus Aldridge, Damian Lillard, Robin Lopez, Nicolas Batum and Wesley Matthews - are all returning to a team that won 54 games and advanced to the Western Conference semifinals last season.
Most of the Blazers bench is likewise back. The only two additions the team made in the offseason were center Chris Kaman and guard Steve Blake.
In other words, the Blazers arent fixing what isnt broken. Theyre just going to work on the details - which include convincing the rest of the NBA that theyre legit.
I think we can be good - we can be really, really good, Matthews said. I think we deserve to be talked (about) as contenders in the West. I really believe that.
It starts with Aldridge, who averaged career highs with 23.2 points and 11.1 rebounds per game in the regular season, joining just two other players to finish in the top 10 in both scoring and rebounding. He upped his scoring output to 26.1 points per game in the playoffs.
Lillard averaged 20.7 points and 5.6 assists as he continued to skew the NBA growth curve after jumping from Weber State to Rookie of the Year to All-Star over two seasons. But the 6-foot-3 point guards profile really took off after his series-clinching 3-pointer with 0.9 seconds left against Houston to propel the Blazers to the second round of the playoffs for the first time in 14 years.
Adding Kaman to spell Lopez will help give the Blazers more interior scoring power, while Blake will provide veteran stability at the point when Lillard rests. The two additions should also help Portlands bench produce more points, something that has hurt the team the last two seasons.
The Blazers also need to continue to focus on their defense, which was ranked 16th in the league last season. That was up from 25th the season before, so coach Terry Stotts will be looking to build on the changes that made a difference.

Capsules for the NBAs Northwest Division teams, listed in predicted order of divisional finish by AP Basketball Writer Jon Krawczynski:
___
NORTHWEST DIVISION
OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER
LAST SEASON: 59-23, lost to San Antonio 4-2 in Western Conference finals.
STARTING FIVE: G Russell Westbrook (21.8 ppg, 6.9 apg, 5.7 rpg), G Reggie Jackson (13.1 ppg, 4.1 apg, 3.5 rpg), F Kevin Durant (32.0 ppg, 7.4 rpg, 5.5 apg), F Serge Ibaka (15.1 ppg, 8.8 rpg, 2.7 bpg), C Steven Adams (3.3 ppg, 4.1 rpg, 0.7 bpg).
KEY ADDITIONS: G Anthony Morrow (free agent, Pelicans), F Mitch McGary (draft), G Sebastian Telfair (free agent, China).
KEY LOSSES: G Thabo Sefolosha (trade, Hawks), F Caron Butler (free agent, Pistons), C Hasheem Thabeet (free agent, 76ers), G Derek Fisher (retired).
COACH: Scott Brooks, eighth season.
EYES ON: Westbrook. With Kevin Durant out for the early part of the season with a Jones fracture in his right foot, Westbrook, a three-time All-Star with top-shelf athleticism and the confidence to match, will be relied upon to carry the load. While Westbrook sat out for two months last season recovering from knee surgery, Durant was a dominant scorer, yet, he kept his teammates involved and they flourished around him. Westbrook, generally considered a top-five talent, has an unexpected chance to prove he can do the same.

Aqua Ohio Area Manager Scott Ballenger provided Tiffin City Council with an update about 2014 water main replacement projects and announced several projects for 2015 during the meeting Monday evening.
He said pipes were replaced on East Perry Street in conjunction with the sewer improvement project. Pipe replacement is to be completed by the end of the month on Main Street, he said.
Ballenger said other projects included replacement of old fire hydrants, placement of new fire hydrants, valve replacements to minimize the number of houses out of service in an emergency and elimination of dead ends in the line.
He said Aqua Ohio tries to coordinate with city projects so all work is completed at once, as was the case with pipe replacement on East Perry Street.
Ballenger also said about $2.6 million is expected to be invested in infrastructure projects next year.
Although it is subject to change, pipe replacements are scheduled on Ann Street, Park Place, Avery Street, Melmore Street, Hall Street and Nile Street.
Councilman Jim Roberts said work took very long on the Main Street project and when he tried to contact Aqua Ohio to find out when the project would be completed, he could not get answers.
Due to safety issues, he was concerned about the time taken on the project. He also said sections by Heidelberg University and on South Washington Street seemed to be completed much quicker.
Ballenger said Aqua Ohio did get work near Heidelberg University done faster due to the start of classes. He also said South Washington Street work was completed due to the Heritage Festival.
Although Ballenger said Aqua Ohio coordinated with schools concerning busing and other safety issues, workers cannot foresee every obstacle.

Minneapolis, Twin Cities Minnesota (PRWEB) October 21, 2014
Trying to buy a Minneapolis property or an Eden Prairie MN home for sale that precisely fits a home buyers wish list may prove challenging. By remodeling, removing walls, or renovating a home, it can become the home that fits a homebuyers dreams and lifestyle. Twin Cities home remodeling trends revealed at expos in the metro offer new ideas and inspirations that help buyers find and remodel a home to suit their preferences.
"If a Twin Cities home buyer doesn't find a real estate listing that is ideal for them, by open themselves up to more affordable options like remodeling an existing homes," says Jenna Thuening, owner of Home Destination. "Whether or not the remodel is top on the cost vs value list, it gives the buyer the ability to gain their specific needs and wants in a home."
Twin Cities home remodeling experts showcase everything trending for home remodeling projects including, but not limited to the latest in kitchen counter top choices, flooring, three-season sunrooms and bathroom updates, digital home products, energy efficient windows for daylight-filled homes and every thing else a perspective home buyer could want.
With the Home Improvement and Design Expo at the Minneapolis Conventions Center last weekend and a new show in Blaine MN November 8th, there is a wealth of home remodeling ideas. Dollars spent to transform a home into trendy yet practical living spaces are up. Homeowners are remodeling their home to increase their ease-of living with an outlook to meet home buyer demand should they determine to sell in the future.
A sampling of home remodeling and design trends featuring in the Twin Cities include:
1. Lighting - Bright and vibrant home with daylight-filled rooms or soft and soothing evening lighting create the mood and style that best fits each room. From American-made lighting handcrafted by local artisans in the Twin Cities, to European influences, lighting must be both functional and stunning to please buyers. Crane floor lamps and bling are some of the latest trends blending readily into modern homes.
2. Open Kitchen Floor Plans - Sass Construction recently completed a home renovation with an open the kitchen floor plan. The upper level home addition expands the home's living space while increasing its market value. Open floor spaces in gourmet kitchens with custom designed butlers area, walk-in pantry, and full bar with quartz kitchen counter tops are in high demand in many upper priced homes.
3. User-friendly Living Rooms with Architectural Interest - Artful Living Magazine's Autumn 2014 issue showcases Studio M Interiors with an inviting and yet elegant living room designed in layers of cream on white. Trendy living rooms with architectural interest open to surrounding interior living spaces and favor high, detailed ceilings that offer a sense of height and spaciousness.
4. Interior and Exterior Use of Natural Stone - Use of natural stone both inside and out is popular. An elaborate porte cochere can be an architectural feature used to separate the front and back of a home. It doubles for adding value to a home's curb appeal while creating more private living spaces in a home's back yard. Some home builders are using Ceasarstone countertops in bathroom renovations. Increasingly trendy bathroom remodels feature the curb-less shower, according to McDonald Remodeling.

Plans to make a busy downtown route a one-way street for up to two years may not be necessary after all.
The construction firm that will build a proposed multi-story apartment and office building at Ninth and New Hampshire streets has submitted a new plan that would allow two-way traffic in the 800 block of New Hampshire for much of the two-year construction project.
Previously, Lawrence-based First Construction had wanted to close all northbound traffic from Ninth Street north to the mid-block crosswalk, in order to provide the necessary room to store construction equipment and keep workers a safe distance from traffic.
The new plan will allow for two lanes of traffic by removing on-street parking along the west side of New Hampshire throughout the construction zone. The project will cause about eight parking spaces to be lost on New Hampshire. The city is proposing that about eight parking spaces in the city-owned lot on the west side of New Hampshire be reserved for use by customers of the various businesses located at the northwest corner of the intersection. Those businesses rely heavily on the on-street spaces that are being lost, said Mark Thiel, the citys assistant director of public works.
We dont want to hurt businesses by having this construction downtown, which long-term will be very good for downtown, said City Commissioner Jeremy Farmer.
The new plan has arisen after several downtown stakeholders expressed concerned about another long-term disruption in traffic patterns for the area. A portion of the 900 block of New Hampshire has been reduced to one lane while the same construction group builds a multi-story hotel and retail building on the southeast corner of the intersection.
The latest project will build a mix of apartments and offices on the northeast corner of the intersection. The Downtown Lawrence Farmers' Market uses the city-owned lot just north of the proposed construction site. Thiel said the construction plans will cause a loss of about seven parking spots in that lot. He also noted, however, that the remainder of the lot will be available for parking and use by the farmers market. He said the mid-block crosswalk that leads to the market area also will be open throughout the project.
There will be short periods that construction work will require one or both lanes near the construction site to be closed, Thiel said. That includes work to replace a waterline buried beneath the street. But Thiel said businesses and residents in the area will receive notice ahead of time before the lanes are closed. Traffic also will be shifted farther to the south on the portion of Ninth Street that is adjacent to the construction zone, but two-way traffic will be maintained on Ninth.
Farmer said he knows the construction work is causing some frustration among downtown businesses and visitors but said he hasnt found a better way to create a safe construction zone for the project.
We just need to make sure we have lots of conversations to minimize the impacts, Farmer said. I dont want people to be frustrated, because ultimately this development is going to be a really good deal for downtown.
The rest is here:

MUHLENBER TWP., Pa. -
Muhlenberg Township Commissioners were faced with another round of high dollar change orders Monday night for the new township office building, located at 210 George Street.
The board has had to approve several change orders for issues arising during the renovations of the office in Berks County since the start of construction.
E.R. Stuebner is the contractor on the project.
Jamal Abodalo, director of Engineering and Codes, admitted that the large number of change orders are a result of "a clear lack of coordination between the architect and his professional team."
Board of Commissioners President Michael Malinowski called for a vote on each change order individually.
"The way all these change orders came in arbitrarily, I just won't vote for them without learning a little more," Malinowski said.
This weeks changes totaled $74,555 and included nearly $2,000 to finish framing the canopy over the police entry and more than $1,300 to repair the brick walls.
Commissioners approved those changes but did not approve an additional $500 to repaint interior walls with accent colors.
They acknowledged that request as another example of the contractor and architect not communicating with the interior designers.
