UB dismantles former nuclear research building
By LISA KHOURY | Jan. 15, 2013UB is in the process of taking down its former nuclear reactor facility on South Campus. The dismantling process, which is called decommissioning, began in early December and is expected to end in 2014, at a total cost of $20 million. UB left the nuclear business in 1994 but didn't receive funding from the state to disassemble the former Buffalo Materials Research Center until recently, according to David Vasbinder, associate director of environment, health and safety. Decommissioning is the process of removing contaminated materials from a nuclear power plant.

Just short
By NATHANIEL SMITH | Jan. 13, 2013It had all the makings of the infamous Matt Stainbrook game from last year. The men's basketball team finally took the slimmest of leads off an incredible run, and after what was a questionable call to many fans in the stands, an opposing player had a chance to take the lead at the line, with the faithful Alumni Arena crowd screaming at the top of its lungs. But unlike that game from last year, in which the former Western Michigan forward was unable to hit the clinching free throws, the confident guard nailed both shot and preserved the victory. After an impressive 24-2 run to take a one-point lead with under a minute left in the contest, the Bulls (5-11, 0-2 Mid American Conference) weren't able to finish the job, as Miami's (6-8, 1-1 MAC) Allen Roberts sunk two critical free throws to give the RedHawks a 58-57 victory at Alumni Arena Saturday night. Unlike last year, the junior guard relished the opportunity to put the final nail in the coffin for Buffalo. "I'm a make the free throws," Roberts said confidently when asked what was going through his mind as he went to the charity stripe. The game wasn't this close throughout.
