With the game close in the second half, Navy freshman Kendall Knorr delivered, and he had a perfect night in the process. Knorr scored 13 of his game-high 15 points in the second half and made all six of his field-goal attempts, including three 3-pointers, as the Midshipmen (4-4) held on for a 54-49 win over Indiana-Purdue-Fort Wayne on Wednesday at Alumni Hall and surpassed their 2011-12 win total. IPFW (4-4) cut the lead to one, holding Navy scoreless for nearly seven minutes in the second half, but after Brandon Venturini broke the scoring drought on a fast-break layup and a 3-pointer, Knorr took over.

Knorr Brake Corporation on Wednesday, Jan. 18, broke ground on the company's new manufacturing facility in the Westminster Technology Park in Westminster.

He wasn't even in the lineup on Opening Day, but yesterday Toronto Blue Jays catcher Randy Knorr nearly hit for the cycle.Almost. Maybe. Sort of. Not."There's no way I'm getting a triple in this place," Knorr said after hitting a home run, a double and a single in Toronto's 7-3 victory at Camden Yards. "Someone would have to fall down."Slow afoot, Knorr has two major-league and two minor-league triples to his credit.The 26-year-old Californian has a better foothold on the starting catching job. After two years with the Blue Jays as a part-time player, he has emerged as the man behind the plate.

Within the next few months Knorr Brake Corp., which manufactures brake systems for passenger trains, will double its operations in Westminster.The Carroll County expansion -- which will create about 100 jobs -- is a result of consolidation with New York Air Brake in Watertown, N.Y.Company officials plan to reduce the size of New York Air Brake, which will continue to make brakes for freight trains and locomotives. Knorr will take over all the building of brakes for light-rail lines, subway systems, Amtrak trains and high-speed passenger trains.

Jeanne Ruviella-Knorr passed out bright green tennis balls to the second-graders sitting in four rows on the floor of the William Paca/Old Post Road Elementary School music room and then turned on a CD of Stars and Stripes Forever by John Philip Sousa. The pupils rolled the tennis balls to the sound of flutes; tapped the tops, pretending to play piccolos; mimicked a trombone slide; and bounced the tennis balls to the drumbeat. "Tennis balls are just one of the things that I use to engage the children in creative improvisational musical activities," Ruviella-Knorr said.

LA CROSSE, Wis. -- At 79, Al Knorr could fill his days in the recliner with televised junk food, watching Oprah Winfrey and Judge Judy and yelling "big money, big money!" when Wheel of Fortune comes on. But twice every weekday, Knorr dons his black snowmobile mittens and insulated shirt, and heads to the busiest intersections in town, where he stands as a solitary street-corner sentry against the war in Iraq. Knorr's large cardboard "Stop the war" placard on a wooden broomstick draws honks and thumbs-up signals from some rush-hour drivers and abuse from others, such as the guy in the white pickup truck who rolled down his window and made an obscene gesture.

Pat Gillick's days are just as frenetic as they were in December, when the Orioles general manager pieced together a contender. But there are fewer calls to agents now, and more promotional appearances. Less time spent negotiating with free agents, more time making speeches.Two weeks away from the start of spring training, there's little work to do with the major-league team, other than some fine-tuning. The Orioles want to acquire a backup catcher, a left-handed hitter for the bench, and they continue to talk to the agent for free-agent reliever Mike Jackson, hoping he'll slide into their price range.

Anne Arundel Community College's Moonlight Troupers' production of Tom Stoppard's "On the Razzle" represents a challenge for any group of actors. Stoppard's fast-paced farce demands much from its 17-member cast, including high energy, glibness of tongue and physical dexterity. At a performance Saturday, for the first few minutes I couldn't find much in "Razzle" that dazzled me - the actors recited lines without clear articulation and with scant humor. The little laughter elicited from the audience resulted from Stoppard's fast-paced dialogue, with so much wordplay that it resembled a foreign language.
