SEATTLE - After a two-year international crime spree in which he survived a handful of crash landings, Colton Harris-Moore - the infamous "Barefoot Bandit" - says he's lucky to be alive.

Harris-Moore spoke publicly in court Friday for the first time since his 2010 arrest.

A short while later, he was sentenced to 6 1/2 years in federal prison, which will be served concurrently with state prison time.

CHARLESTON, S.C. - Bobby Cremins' assistant says the veteran basketball coach hasn't looked well the past few weeks and Friday evening the College of Charleston announced Cremins will miss the rest of the season because of a medical problem.

Yet, Mark Byington - who will take over as the Cougars' coach - was still surprised when the 64-year-old Cremins called him Friday morning with the news.

Charleston athletic director Joe Hull did say Cremins' condition was not life threatening.
