UNCASVILLE, Conn. (AP) -- Tina Charles collected her first WNBA MVP award, then showed why she deserved the honor.

Charles had 17 points and four blocks to power the Connecticut Sun to a 65-60 victory over the New York Liberty in their playoff opener on Thursday night.

''The day is going great,'' the third-year center said. ''I got a (personal) achievement, and we got the first playoff win. Now we have to build on that.''

Game 2 of the best-of-three Eastern Conference semifinal series is at the Prudential Center in Newark on Saturday at 7 p.m.

It was the Sun's first playoff win since they beat the Liberty 73-70 on Sept. 20, 2008.

''I'm happy with the win,'' Connecticut coach Mike Thibault said. ''I'm happy with the effort. We need to play a lot better.''

Asjha Jones had 10 points, nine rebounds and four assists for Connecticut (26-9), which is the top seed in the Eastern Conference. Kara Lawson added eight points, six rebounds and five assists.

Cappie Pondexter had 14 points, six assists and four steals for the Liberty (15-20). Plenette Pierson finished with 13 points and nine rebounds.

The Sun and Liberty were tied at 45 with over a minute left in the third quarter when Connecticut pulled away with a 12-0 run. It held New York scoreless for a 6 1/2-minute stretch that began late in the third quarter and extended into the fourth.

Renee Montgomery made two free throws early in the fourth quarter, then fed Mistie Mims for a layup. Jones continued Connecticut's run with a pull-up jumper.

. Families have been drawn there by performances put on by the Ann Arbor District Library.

But this urban park in downtown Ann Arbor has earned a reputation that contrasts sharply with images of people relaxing at a summertime concert and children enjoying a library program.

Public drinking, drug use and fights arent rare occurrences in the concrete park at the southwest corner of Division and Liberty streets. Set a few steps down from the sidewalk, the two-tiered park has gained a less-than-flattering reputation since it first opened to public use in 1978.

The park has off and on been a problem for years, said John Teeter, property manager at First Martin Corp., the company that built and still maintains the park. Its a wonderful park when theres programming. ... When theres legitimate users in the park visiting, its wonderful.

He pointed to the Thursday Sonic Lunch concerts, sponsored by Bank of Ann Arbor as an example of programming that works. But often, the park doesn't work well, he said.

When you have people drinking, doing drugs, defecating and urinating near buildings or harassing someone trying to eat lunch, its a detriment to the area, he added.

Teeter said Liberty Plaza has had cycles of criminal activities over the years, giving the place a reputation as a hangout for vagrants that may drive other residents away. But, those who use it have cultivated their own community. Many who regularly visit the park play chess, loan money to each other and engage in lively discussions.

Roughly 20 people milled about Liberty Plaza on a recent afternoon and nearly all of them greeted each other with smiles, handshakes and warm words. Some were quietly eating their lunch in the early afternoon sunshine while others skateboarded around benches and trees. The scene was a far cry from Teeters worst-case scenario of people being driven away by unruly park users.

People down here are cool, man, said Jacob Dorsten, a homeless man hanging out in the park. Ive never seen any trouble here.

A problem of design

PLANTATION, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Renowned and respected investment advisor and founder of Midas Letter (www.midalsletter.com), a subscriber-driven private investment strategy newsletter, James West, has recently reported his overview of the Trinity Silver Project, a Liberty Silver Corp. (LSL.TO) (OTCBB:LBSV) endeavor.

The Trinity Silver Project is located 25 miles northwest of Lovelock, Nevada (Pershing County) and shares its geographical location with major gold and silver producers including one of the largest silver mines in the United States, the Rochester silver mine owned by Coeur d'Alene Mines Corporation, which produced 125 million ounces of silver from 1986 to 2010 and has an estimated 120 million silver ounces in reserves.

As reported by West at http://www.midasletter.com, In the month of September so far, the company has traded over 20 million shares and doubled in value. Silver itself has traded in a similar trajectory, increasing in value by 35% since mid-summer, and outperforming gold smartly. The most respected and experienced traders in precious metals fully expect the ratio of how many ounces of silver it takes to buy one ounce of gold to head towards 16:1 from its current level of over 50:1. That would imply a silver value of $110 per ounce.

If Liberty Silver shares continue to trade at such a high beta to the silver futures price, the premium being awarded Liberty Silver could be substantial, adds West.

Liberty Silver Corp is an advanced stage junior silver mining company focused on developing its flagship property the Trinity Silver Project comprised of 10,600 acres including 5,700 acres of fee land and 240 unpatented mining claims. The Trinity property, previously mined and operated by US Borax, produced 5 million ounces of silver from 1.1 million tons of ore from its open pit oxide resource from 1987 to 1989; mining ceased when sulfide mineralization was encountered in the bottom of the pit and metal prices were too low to support mining the sulfide resource.

Historical drilling and production data, recent surveys and drilling results, as well as independent research reveals the property has potential resources of approximately 120m silver equivalent ounces between the Trinity property and the adjacent Hi Ho silver property of which Liberty recently entered into a mineral rights agreement with.

West cites Liberty Silvers caliber of management and board of directors as a key to the projects success with leadership from Geoffrey Brown, Chairman & CEO, former head of private equity at Merrill Lynch Canada; Bill Tafuri, President, bringing 40 years of diverse mining and exploration experience with such companies as Getty Mining Co., Kennecott Corp. and Santa Fe Pacific Gold Corp.; Paul Haggis, an icon in Canadian business circles as Chairman of Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd, C.A. Bancorp Inc., a Canadian merchant bank and alternative asset manager and Alberta Enterprise Corporation, a venture capital fund overseeing $100 million for early-stage ventures; and the backing of legendary entrepreneur Bobby Genovese, Chairman of BG Capital Group (a venture capital and private equity firm based in Barbados with offices throughout North America with assets of more than $200 million) as one of the biggest shareholders of Liberty Silver Corp.
