Virginia Beach is a good destination to view humpback and fin whales migrating to warmer waters. Enjoy a winter wildlife boat trip with Rudee Tours.
Virginia Beach's winter wildlife watching tours offer a rare opportunity to possibly spot these majestic creatures up close, as well as brown pelicans, northern gannets, and double-crested cormorants. Be sure to bring your binoculars, and of course, whale sightings are not guaranteed.
The two and a half-hour narrated trip goes past the Cape Henry Lighthouses, the Old Coast Guard Station and other historic landmarks, so the photography opportunities are tremendous.
Top off the adventure with more sea life at the Virginia Aquarium and Marine Science Center.

|Student Struck Crossing Blowing Rock Road
|Written by Steve Frank
|Monday, 18 March 2013 15:08
An ASU student was struck by a car as he tried to cross Blowing Rock Road in front of the Holmes Convocation Center just before 1 yesterday afternoon. Boone Police said that there was no crossing in the area where 23-year old Nathaniel David Harper tried to cross, and it was not at an intersection.
He was struck by a black Mini Cooper driven by 20-year old Jessica Nicole Berkowitz of Charlotte. Boone Fire and Watauga Medics responded, and transported to Harper to Watauga Medical Center for treatment of non life threatening injuries, and he was cited for failure to yield by Boone Police.

Happy 30th Birthday, MTV!: The First 10 Music Videos Ever Played On MTV (page 4)
August 1, 2011 8:15 AM
4. "You Better You Bet"-[lastfm link_type="artist_info"]The Who[/lastfm]
Here's the main question: Was "You Better You Bet" filmed in black and white for artistic purposes, as stated by the person who made the video, or because black and white film makes everyone look "better?"
We "bet" that this fourth ever video on MTV wouldn't have had such a strong effect if we could see the members of The Who in full color.
And, factoid: "You Better You Bet" was both the fourth and fifty-fifth video to be aired on MTV–making it the first video to be shown more than once.

Wellington fire fighters inspect the charred wreckage of the home, which was still smoking slightly Wednesday morning.
Smoke alarms saved the lives of a Miller Creek family who were able to evacuate their burning home in a midnight fire Wednesday.
Two dogs in the attached garage where the fire started did not escape, though, according to Price Fire Chief Paul Bedont, whose team worked with Wellington fire fighters to put out the blaze.
Homeowner Tom Kosmac said the fire was probably started by an electric heater in the garage.
From the garage, the fire spread through the roof and ceilings. Flames took out the entire garage roof, and the heat and collapsing debris completely destroyed a car parked inside.
The fire was intense enough to scorch the side of a camping trailer parked nearby.
Bedont said fire fighting was complicated by the high pitched roof of the dwelling. "You're leery about sending people into a structure where the fire is burning overhead," he explained.
The chief said the interior of the living area had some smoke damage and may be reparable. Damage would have been much worse - even tragic - had the smoke alarms not awakened the family, the chief said.

Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) and other lawmakers asked the U.S. to consider providing arms to the Syrian opposition, as new videos surfaced that allegedly show the bloody aftermath of a massacre in the city of Homs, Fox News reported.
"The bloodletting has got to stop," McCain said in a statement.
The President Barack Obama Administration noted that they preferred the options of humanitarian assistance and increased international pressure, according to the news outlet.
"We don't think more arms into Syria is the answer," said State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland. "We think the answer is to get to a national democratic dialogue, for the violence to stop, for the regime's tanks to come out of the cities and then for monitors to be able to go back in."
The Washington Times reported that Nuland noted that the U.S. was not taking any options off the table, but she spoke to the assertions made by Obama concerning securing peace in the region without an international military intervention. She also spoke to how Libya was a "completely different situation" than what is unfolding in Syria.

MASSENA - The Massena Town Council may move ahead with seeking appraisals on property at the Massena Intake and Massena Point, turned over to the town by the New York Power Authority as part of the 2003 relicensing agreement.
During last weeks meeting, council members discussed their options in selling the land, including having the property appraised and whether to go through a real estate agency or advertise the property on their own.
Councilman John Macaulay believes it would be in the best interest of the town to go through a real estate agency.
(I would like to) get real estate people involved in future endeavors. We should go ahead and get (the properties) out of our hands, let them work on it, Mr. Macaulay said.
Mr. Macaulay noted the properties would have to be appraised before the town could begin to work with a realtor.
Before we give it to a real estate guy wed have to know the price, some kind of value to put it on a listing, he said.
Councilman Charles Chuck Raiti believes the town council will vote on whether to have those properties appraised at its next meeting on Jan. 16. Once the land is appraised, the council will have to weigh its options with the property.
Mr. Raiti said in order for the property to be advertised on national websites, they would have to pay for an exclusive listing, meaning that for a set period of time all offers and advertisements would have to go through one realtor. Mr. Raiti remains in favor of going through a realtor, saying it would save town officials time and effort.
They do all the marketing and all the labor, (and could) possibly get some national advertising on the property, he said.
Town Supervisor Joseph Gray would like to look at exclusive listings through any interested realtors, to find one that will list the property for the lowest possible commission. He also expressed a hesitancy to move ahead on the properties, particularly Massena Point, in order to find the best possible deals.
There is no way we are selling Massena Point for $10,000 when it is worth $200,000, Mr. Gray said. That is an extremely valuable piece of property and it might not be the right time to sell it. But theres no way Im going to sit back and dump it for a bottom-basement price.
Despite his hesitancy to sell the Massena Point property, Mr. Gray would still like to have it appraised, noting the town might be able to reduce the costs of the appraisals by having them both done at the same time.
Over 300 acres of land formerly held by NYPA was returned to the towns of Massena, Louisville, Lisbon and Waddington at no cost following the 2003 relicensing of the St. Lawrence-FDR Power Project.
But little has been done yet with those parcels. Officials blame a lagging property market and a general hesitancy throughout the region toward making large investments during uncertain economic times.
Any kind of development along the St. Lawrence River has been a long time coming, according to Mayor James F. Hidy.
I just cant imagine how NYPA owned all these properties along the St. Lawrence River. Weve been basically in Massena landlocked for all these years, Mr. Hidy said. People like to gravitate toward the water. And youve had your thumbs on these properties for years and years and years. Hopefully this is the start of lightening up a little bit.
According to a study completed by a consulting firm retained by NYPA in January 2011, nine parcels of property along the shores of Waddington, Louisville and Massena are best suited for a marina or other large-scale commercial development.
The study evaluated land currently or formerly owned by NYPA in the three towns adjacent to the St. Lawrence River. Its conclusions are meant to show the towns which parcels would be the easiest for shoreline development, proposals that could include a marina, commercial dock or restaurant.
Those nine parcels are on or near Whitehouse Point and Whittaker Park in Waddington, on Mutton Ridge and adjacent to the Lake St. Lawrence Yacht Club in Louisville, and near the Massena Water Intake and Robert Moses State Park in Massena.
Mr. Gray previously said the town might want to consider possible recreational uses for the property. He noted an annual fishing tournament is held at the Massena Intake by the New York chapter of the BASS Federation, and the property near the intake could be used as a staging ground.
The town (could provide) some kind of structure for them to do the weigh-ins, for the prizes, for the media, etc., he said previously.
Mr. Gray believes the town needs to consider this in moving ahead with an appraisal and possible selling of the property.
We have to weigh whether (those uses are) more important than selling it to generate cash for the town, he said.

By Heather Wolfson
IQ isn't the only way to measure your smarts. Take your EQ, your emotional intelligence, for instance. Emotional intelligence refers to five areas within an individual: self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy and social skill. Each of these characteristics helps to shape you as a leader and it engenders more effective interpersonal communication. This is vital in developing meaningful professional relationships and can position you best to engage young adults in your community. Having high emotional intelligence will position you as a stronger communicator with the ability to do more successful outreach and engagement. Over the course of several blog posts, I am going to break down each of these five areas.
One very important characteristic of someone who has high EQ is self-awareness. Self-awareness is defined as the ability to recognize and understand your moods and emotions, as well as their effect on others. Those with high self-awareness are self-confident, have a realistic self-assessment, and may even have a self-deprecating sense of humor.
Is this you? In my years of serving both as a lay leader and a professional in the Jewish community, I've found that self-awareness is key to being a strong leader and manager. Even the most deliberate people with high emotional intelligence can forget to examine the efficacy of their leadership from time to time.
At the start of the New Year, I made a commitment to myself to spend a bit more time reflecting on me and becoming more self-aware.
Self-awareness is also about being responsible for your own well-being. Checking-in with your emotions gives you greater perspective, makes you more receptive and empathetic in relationships, and can be grounding, especially in the face of stressors.
Here are some of the questions I have been pondering in my own quest to be more self-aware
- When under pressure, how do I feel? What do I do to cope with this pressure?
- How can I work to balance my professional, volunteer and personal life? When is it appropriate to say "no" to requests? When do I need to step up and step back?
- How do my actions impact other people? What can I do to ensure that what I do is in the best interest of everyone?
- What do I question? Why do I question? How can I question in a productive way?
- What are my weak points? What are my strengths?
- I am happiest when…
- I am fulfilled when…
I encourage you to find some time during your day, be it even on the commute into your office or at the end of your day with a glass of wine, to think a bit about yourself. The more self-aware you are, the stronger a leader you will be and the more productive a team you will lead.
Until next time…happy thinking!
Heather Wolfson is the Western Regional Director at NEXT.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- Is there a happier place than Florida in February?
Women prancing around in bikinis; birds singing at the tops of their lungs; breaking a small sweat while tanning on the beach; the sight and sound of baseball's flying through the air. It's pretty much paradise.
The Nationals have become a prominent baseball club over night. No, they won't receive the same amount of attention as the Yankees, Red Sox and Dodgers. No, they don't have the winning pedigree of the Giants, Cardinals or Tigers -- yet.
But behind Stephen Strasburg, Bryce Harper, Ryan Zimmerman and the additions of Rafael Soriano and Denard Span, the Nats certainly seem like they have the brightest future in baseball.
As spring training is set to begin, here are the five players I'll be keeping an extra eye on.
1) Wilson Ramos
Knowing manager Davey Johnson's tendencies, I'd argue Ramos, 25, is not exactly a shoe-in to recapture his starting role behind the plate. Let's remember when the Nationals offense went sputtering last September, Kurt Suzuki performed at one of the highest levels of his career.
In the season's final month,the former Oakland Athletic batted .300, cranked four home runs and knocked in 18 RBI's. Opposing base runners ran buck wild on the Nationals before Suzuki's arrival, too. If Ramos has a so-so spring, we might see Suzuki in the lineup more often than not come April.
2) Gio Gonzalez
How will the Nationals media darling handle the ongoing PED investigation? Will he still be all smiles? Or will there be a breaking point for number 47? Until the investigation is solved, it's only fair for reporters to question Gonzalez's involvement -- even if he does appear to seem innocent.
You to have applaud Gonzalez for carrying on with business as usual. The lefty ace will be the Nationals only representative in the upcoming World Baseball Classic. Maybe it's just me, but I'm having a hard time picturing Gonzalez replicating his dominance in 2013. I expect his numbers to slide a little closer towards his days in Oakland, now that the National League has had a year to adjust.
3) Drew Storen
How will Storen respond to his demotion? Read my full thoughts here on why this will be a career-defining year for the Nationals former closer.
4) Tyler Moore
You can group me in as a media member who was surprised the Nationals splurged the way they did in the offseason. I'm not arguing that wasn't the right strategy, it just didn't quite gel with what Mike Rizzohas done in years past.The 2012 squad was in large part defined by young players coming into their own; Bryce Harper, Steve Lombardozzi and Ross Detwiler. Unfortunately, Tyler Moore may not get that same opportunity to shine in 2013.
My prediction: At some point, it's going to be awfully hard for Davey to keep Moore's bat on the bench. In his first big league season, the 26-year-old knocked 10 home runs in just 156 at-bats last season -- that pace would've ranked second in the National League. People also seem to forget it was Moore's pinch at-bat in St. Louis that led to the Nationals game one NLDS win. Don't be surprised to see Moore taking some reps at third base and right field as a way of getting him more at-bats.
5) Danny Espinosa
Danny Espinosa struck out 189 times in 2012. The next closest on the Nationals roster was Adam LaRoche with 138. Danny Espinosa batted .247 at the plate in 2012. No Nationals position player posted a worse average. In fact, Strasburg's average was much higher at .277. One last reminder of the second baseman's so-so season: he hit a laughable 1-for-15 in the NLDS, when he was obviously needed the most.
This offseason we did learn thatEspinosa was battling through a serious shoulder injury for the latter part of the season. But to me, his leash is shorter than any player's on the roster. Davey Johnson let Espinosa ride out his slump in 2012, but that was when capable backup Steve Lombardozzi was busy filling in at third base and left field. Another early season struggle from Espinosa can't be ignored in this "World Series or Bust" campaign.

At first, his mass flaming of the chat was hilarious because it gave me something to laugh at all day, watching him try and force his way around my banhammer and groom robot monkey and the other dredges of the forum, but now it seems he has taken his love/hate god complex of myself and it has finally broken his puny little mind into thousands of Scythe-like pieces.

French and Indian War
Also known as the Seven Years War, this war was fought over conflicting territorial claims between the French and British in the Ohio River Valley. The British victory resulted in virtual expulsion of the French in North America, and the rationalization of taxing the Americans to recoup monetary losses.
Stamp Act
The 1765 Stamp Act required colonists to pay a tax (in the form of a stamp) on printed documents, various licenses, and other goods. Colonists rebelled and terrorized British tax collectors.
Townshend Acts
The Townshend Act of 1767 authorized Parliament to issue taxes on in-demand imports such as glass, lead, paint, paper and tea. British soldiers had to be brought into Boston to prevent an uprising.
Boston Massacre
Tension over the presence of British troops in Boston led to the Boston Massacre, the first episode which resulted in the loss of life. Four Bostonians were killed when Redcoats fired into an angry mob.
Boston Tea Party
Angry Bostonians known as the Sons of Liberty boarded a British tea vessel dressed as Indians and dumped all of its tea into Boston Harbor in protest of the Tea tax. This event resulted in the Intolerable Acts.
First Continental Congress | Second Continental Congress
With war looming, the Continental Congress was formed for the purposes of drawing consensus within the colonies for action against the growing threat of British occupation.
Thomas Paine and Common Sense
Common Sense, one of the most influential pamphlets in American history galvanized the American public to support the Revolution and condemn the monarchy in England.
The purpose of this iconic American document was to tell the world why America was breaking away from British rule
Treaty of Paris
This document outlined the terms of the British surrender in 1783. Its ratification officially ended the Revolution, making America a free country.
Articles of Confederation
America's first attempt at organized government was the ill-conceived Articles of Confederation. This government gave the new "states" too much power and was insufficient as a means of governing a nation.
Constitutional Convention
The 1787 Constitutional Convention resulted in the elimination of the Articles of Confederation and the formation of a new, more effective government and constitution.
Federalist Papers
The Federalist Papers were a series of essays written by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison, which outlined reasons why the states should ratify the Constitution.
Bill of Rights
Although many legislators believed a Bill of Rights was not necessary as part of the Constitution, it was nevertheless included. The Bill of Rights is the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution.
Trials and Tribulations of the New Nation
Foreign policy issues, newspaper wars, and partisan politics threatened to destroy the new nation in its infancy.

Motorcycle Hall of Fame announces 2008 inductees
Terry "Mr. Daytona" Poovey is the winningest rider in combined Daytona short tracks.
The Motorcycle Hall of Fame announced the selection of six individuals for induction in 2008, including: Vaughn Beals (former CEO and Chairman of Harley-Davidson), Rod Coates (instrumental in Triumph's success in the U.S. in the 1950s and 1960s), Scot Harden (legendary Paris-Dakar competitor), Larry "Supermouth" Huffman (Supercross announcer), Terry Poovey (11-time AMA National winner) and Rolf Tibblin (500cc Motocross World Champion, 1962 and 1963). The annual induction ceremony will take place Saturday evening, October 11, at the Hilton Polaris in Columbus, Ohio.
Vaughn Beals — Beals led the leveraged buyout of Harley-Davidson from former owner AMF, then served as chief executive officer of Harley-Davidson from 1981–1989 and as Chairman from 1981–1996.
Rod Coates — A racer and businessman, Rod Coates was a pioneer throughout his career. Following World War II, he sold Ariel, BMW, Triumph and Vincent motorcycles before the companies established official U.S. distributors. In racing, Coates won the 1950 Daytona 100-mile race on a Triumph Grand Prix 500cc twin and went on to serve on various AMA racing committees. Coates also organized and led the company's competition department, sponsoring racers Ed Fisher, Don Burnett and Gary Nixon.
Scot Harden — One of off-road racing's most influential champions, Scot Harden has achieved victory across the United States, Europe and South America during a career that has spanned nearly 35 years. Notably, Harden has two overall wins at the prestigious Baja 1000 and is a three-time ISDE medalist. Additionally, he was the winner of the 1987 Djerba 500 Rally – Tunisia, and winner of the 1987 Rallye de Atlas – Morocco. Harden's work in the powersport industry has allowed him to help shape younger stars, including Dan Smith, Danny Hamel and Russ Pearson. Harden has worked in sales, marketing, and race management roles at Husqvarna, Cagiva, KTM, and at the helm of his own company, Harden Off-Road.
Larry "Supermouth" Huffman — Known as the "Voice of Supercross," Larry Huffman's inimitable commentary has informed countless race fans. Often imitated but never duplicated, the thoroughly unique Huffman has announced motorsports events in Japan, Canada, and nearly every major stadium in the United States.
Terry Poovey — A consistent winner throughout his career, Terry Poovey earned his first taste of victory as a sophomore in high school. Having traveled to Daytona to compete in the short track races held during Bike Week, Poovey placed second in the Expert race on Junior/Expert night and launched a career of podium finishes. In over 350 National final starts, Poovey finished in the top ten over 200 times and the top five 80 times. Poovey earned 11 AMA National wins.
Rolf Tibblin — An intense competitor, Rolf Tibblin won the 250cc European Motocross Championship in 1958 and 1959. He went on to become the 500cc World Champion in 1962 and 1963. As a member of several Swedish Motocross des Nations teams, Tibblin was renowned for his serious training regimen. Tibblin shared his intense training methods, and helped shape future motocross champions, through his U.S. training school.
The Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, and is closed on New Year's, Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Adult admission is $10 per person; students 12-17, $3. AMA members $5. Seniors receive a $2 discount and members of motorcycle clubs and organizations are eligible for a $1 discount per ticket. A $25 family rate and group rates are also available. For more information, call (614) 856-2222, or visit the museum's Web site at www.motorcyclemuseum.org.

The concept that matter is composed of discrete units and cannot be divided into arbitrarily tiny quantities has been around for millennia, but these ideas were founded in abstract, philosophical reasoning rather than experimentation and empirical observation. The nature of atoms in philosophy varied considerably over time and between cultures and schools, and often had spiritual elements.
Nevertheless, the basic idea of the atom was adopted by scientists thousands of years later because it elegantly explained new discoveries in the field of chemistry. The ancient name of "atom" from atomism had already been nearly universally used to describe chemical atoms by that time, and it was therefore retained as a term, long after chemical atoms were found to be divisible, and even after smaller, truly indivisible particles were identified.
References to the concept of atoms date back to ancient Greece and India. In India, the Ājīvika, Jain, and Cārvāka schools of atomism may date back to the 6th century BCE. The Nyaya and Vaisheshika schools later developed theories on how atoms combined into more complex objects. In the West, the references to atoms emerged in the 5th century BCE with Leucippus, whose student, Democritus, systematized his views.
In approximately 450 BCE, Democritus coined the term átomos (Greek: ἄτομος), which means "uncuttable" or "the smallest indivisible particle of matter". Although the Indian and Greek concepts of the atom were based purely on philosophy, modern science has retained the name coined by Democritus.
Corpuscularianism is the postulate, expounded in the 13th-century by the alchemist Pseudo-Geber (Geber), sometimes identified with Paul of Taranto, that all physical bodies possess an inner and outer layer of minute particles or corpuscles. Corpuscularianism is similar to the theory of atomism, except that where atoms were supposed to be indivisible, corpuscles could in principle be divided.
In this manner, for example, it was theorized that mercury could penetrate into metals and modify their inner structure. Corpuscularianism stayed a dominant theory over the next several hundred years. In 1661, natural philosopher Robert Boyle published The Sceptical Chymist in which he argued that matter was composed of various combinations of different "corpuscules" or atoms, rather than the classical elements of air, earth, fire and water. During the 1670s corpuscularianism was used by Isaac Newton in his development of the corpuscular theory of light.
Further progress in the understanding of atoms did not occur until the science of chemistry began to develop. In 1789, French nobleman and scientific researcher Antoine Lavoisier discovered the law of conservation of mass and defined an element as a basic substance that could not be further broken down by the methods of chemistry.
In 1805, English instructor and natural philosopher John Dalton used the concept of atoms to explain why elements always react in ratios of small whole numbers (the law of multiple proportions) and why certain gases dissolved better in water than others. He proposed that each element consists of atoms of a single, unique type, and that these atoms can join together to form chemical compounds. Dalton is considered the originator of modern atomic theory.
Dalton's atomic hypothesis did not specify the size of atoms. Common sense indicated they must be very small, but nobody knew how small. Therefore it was a major landmark when in 1865 Johann Josef Loschmidt measured the size of the molecules that make up air.
An additional line of reasoning in support of particle theory (and by extension atomic theory) began in 1827 when botanist Robert Brown used a microscope to look at dust grains floating in water and discovered that they moved about erratically—a phenomenon that became known as "Brownian motion". J.
Desaulx suggested in 1877 that the phenomenon was caused by the thermal motion of water molecules, and in 1905 Albert Einstein produced the first mathematical analysis of the motion. French physicist Jean Perrin used Einstein's work to experimentally determine the mass and dimensions of atoms, thereby conclusively verifying Dalton's atomic theory.(wikipedia.org)

Softball Completes Regular-Season Road Schedule at Drake
The rescheduled twin bill, originally scheduled for April 16 in Omaha, was moved to Des Moines two weeks ago after the teams were rained out. The doubleheader replaces the originally scheduled single game at Drake's Buel Field.
Creighton (27-14, 13-4 MVC) will be the designated home team in game one at 4 p.m. Drake (26-19, 12-7 MVC) will be the designated home team in the nightcap. The third game of the series will not be played.
The Bluejays are currently in first place in the MVC after a split at Missouri State on Sunday. The Jays are perched atop the standings 1.5 games ahead of second-place Illinois State and two games in front of Drake with just one week of regular-season conference softball action remaining.
The Bulldogs dropped two out of three games at Wichita State last weekend, falling behind Illinois State in the standings. DU is just 3-4 over the last seven games overall. Drake is 6-3 in home games this year.
After claiming the MVC career home run record outright last month, Creighton senior Amy Baker became the first player to eclipse the Valley RBI record three weeks ago.
However, Baker is in an active battle with Illinois State senior Elizabeth Kay to hold on to the top RBI mark. Neither player drove in a run last weekend as Kay's career total of 166 RBI is just two ahead of Baker at 164 career runs batted in heading into the final week of the regular season.
Following the Jays: Live stats links for the game can be found on the softball schedule page of GoCreighton.com. Fans can also keep in touch with Creighton softball on Twitter - @BluejaySoftball and Facebook - www.facebook.com/CreightonSoftball.
Last Time Out: Creighton split a doubleheader at Missouri State April 28 as the Bluejays won the opener 3-1 before falling 10-5 in game two at the Bears' Killian Stadium.
MSU and CU each posted 13 hits but the Bears plated 11 runs to just eight for the Bluejays. The Creighton pitching staff only allowed three earned runs on the day but seven Bluejay errors came back to haunt CU - including six miscues in game two alone.
The six errors in game two marked the most since the Jays committed one-half dozen miscues against Northern Iowa on April 2, 2006.
Freshman Blake Ringle led the Bluejays at the plate with three hits and a trio of RBI in six at-bats including a home run to give Creighton an early lead in game two. Sophomore Liz Dike posted three hits and scored a pair of runs.
With the first game tied at 1-1, MSU threatened to take the lead in the bottom of the sixth by loading the bases with two outs. But the Bears saw that opportunity dashed by CU junior Ellen Homan who made a spectacular running and tumbling grab in shallow left field to close out the inning and keep the score tied.
A pair of fielder's choice at-bats provided two runs for the Jays in the top of the seventh to secure a 3-1 victory.
Junior Becca Changstrom earned the complete-game win to improve 20-7 with nine strikeouts and without yielding an earned run. Noteworthy, Changstrom passed MSU head coach - and former Bluejay hurler - Holly Hesse on the CU all-time career wins list with the victory over the Bears.
Neither of the game two starters made it past three innings after the contest became a high-scoring affair early on. Both teams scored in each of the first three innings resulting in 11 total runs heading into the fourth frame.
Creighton took a brief 2-0 lead in the top of the first before falling behind 3-2 in the bottom of the frame. Three Bluejay errors in the first helped the Bears move into the lead.
CU tied it at 3-3 and 4-4 but could never grab the lead. MSU took the lead for good at 7-4 in the bottom of the fourth before claiming a 10-5 victory on the Bears' senior day.
Scouting Creighton (27-14, 13-4 MVC): Creighton split a doubleheader at Missouri State on Sunday taking a 3-1 come-from-behind win from the Bears before a 10-5 loss to MSU in a game marred by six CU errors.
The Jays remained unscathed through six MVC series as Creighton claimed all five three-game sets in the league before the 1-1 split at MSU last weekend, shortened by a rainout game.
Creighton has won eight of its last 11 games dating back to April 6 including an 8-2 MVC mark during that time frame.
The Bluejays have five games remaining on the schedule beginning with the twin bill at Drake Tuesday before celebrating senior weekend at home against Wichita State to end the week. Creighton is 7-5 in true road games this season and has won four of its last five on the road in the Valley.
The Bluejays are currently in first place in the MVC perched atop the standings 1.5 games ahead of second-place Illinois State and two games in front of Drake with just one week of regular-season conference softball action remaining.
Junior pitcher Becca Changstrom's 223 strikeouts this season ranks seventh all-time in the CU record books. Remarkably, her total is more than eight of the Valley's pitching staff team totals this season for K's and just shy of Bradley's staff total of 230 combined strikeouts.
In the circle, CU junior pitchers Changstrom and Alexis Cantu are among the top six in the Valley ERA standings. Changstrom leads the MVC with a 1.69 ERA while Cantu boasts a 2.95 ERA. As a staff, the Jays lead the conference with a 2.31 ERA and 291 strikeouts.
Changstrom leads the Valley in ERA (1.69), strikeouts (223), opposing batting average (.193) and wins (20).
Senior Amy Baker maintained her MVC home run career record of 57 last week.
After claiming the MVC career home run record outright last month, Baker became the first player to eclipse the Valley RBI record three weeks ago.
However, Baker is in an active battle with Illinois State senior Elizabeth Kay to hold on to the top RBI mark. Neither player drove in a run last weekend as Kay's career total of 166 RBI is just two ahead of Baker at 164 career runs batted in heading into the final week of the regular season.
Sophomore Liz Dike has posted a hit in seven consecutive games for the Bluejays. The streak is a career-best mark for Dike after posting hits in six straight contests last season.
Four Creighton players who have notched at least 50 at-bats in 2013 are hitting .300 or better including Baker (.387), Dike (.350), junior Blair Lowe (.319) and freshman Blake Ringle (.309). Creighton ranks fifth in the Valley with a .267 batting average. The Jays' 44 home runs and .450 slugging percentage are tops in the MVC.
Scouting Drake (26-19, 12-7 MVC): Drake dropped to third place in the MVC standings last weekend after dropping two out of three games at Wichita State last weekend. The Bulldogs trail first-place Creighton by two games and are one-half game behind Illinois State for second place.
Drake won the opener 3-1 at WSU before the Shockers came back to take the final two games with 6-1 and 8-4 victories. The Bulldogs are 6-3 in home games in Des Moines this year. Drake is only 3-4 over its last seven games.
DU ends the MVC season with five home games. The Bulldogs host Northern Iowa this weekend after the Tuesday twin bill with the Jays.
Drake is fourth in the league with a .282 team batting average. The Bulldog pitching staff trails only the Jays with a 3.02 team ERA this season. DU's .426 slugging percentage and 36 homers are third only to CU and Illinois State. The Bulldogs lead the league with nine team saves this year.
Five of the Bulldogs' starters are hitting .318 or better at the plate in 2013 including Amy Pierce (.357), Nicole Randel (.350), Laura Brewer (.343), Macie Silliman (.333) and Hayley Nybo (.318).
Pierce and Nybo lead the team with nine homers apiece. Nybo leads Du with 37 RBI while Pierce claims the top team slugging percentage of .623. Pierce is also a threat on the base paths with 24 stolen bases in 25 attempts.
In the circle, Jordan Gronewold leads DU with 42 starts in 44 appearances. She carries a 3.28 ERA with a 16-9 record. Through 145.1 innings of work she has registered 82 strikeouts and 73 walks. Rebekah Schmidt has made 41 appearances but started just three times in 2013. She leads the staff with a 2.40 ERA and 134 strikeouts. Schmidt owns a 10-10 record this season.
Head Coach: The winningest coach in Creighton athletics history, Brent Vigness is in his 20th season at the helm of one of the most successful programs in the Midwest and Missouri Valley Conference (MVC). He carries a 633-442-3 record in 19-plus seasons at Creighton and boasts a 781-513-4 overall record that includes five years at Assumption College prior to beginning at CU.
A three-time MVC Coach of the Year, he has led the Bluejays to six MVC regular-season titles (1998-2000, 2007-09), six Valley tournament titles (1999, 2003-05, 2007, 2010) and seven NCAA regional appearances (1999, 2003-05, 2007-08, 2010). He claimed MVC Coach of the Year honors in 1998 and guided the MVC Coaching Staffs of the Year in 2007 and 2008.
Vigness coached his 1,000th game at Creighton and recorded his 600th win at CU in 2012.
Creighton-Drake Series: The Bluejays lead the all-time series with the Bulldogs 56-27. Creighton has won seven of the last 10 in the series overall and have also claimed seven of the last nine games in Omaha.
Creighton took the series from Drake 2-1 last season. The teams split a doubleheader in Des Moines on April 18 as CU won 5-2 before falling 2-0 in the nightcap. The Bluejays claimed the rubber match 6-2 in Omaha on April 24.
The teams first met in 1978 when Creighton visited Drake on April 22 and suffered a 4-0 setback. The teams have met every season since 1993 when Creighton joined the MVC for softball.
Changstrom Surpasses 200 Strikeouts in Stellar Season
On April 21, CU junior pitcher Becca Changstrom became just the third Bluejay in program history to record 200 strikeouts in a single season. After fanning nine Missouri State batters on Sunday, Changstrom boasts 223 K's this year.
She joined former Creighton aces Tammy Nielsen and Tara Oltman in the exclusive club. Changstrom's total ranks No. 7 all-time in the CU record books for a single season. She needs 39 more strikeouts to take over sixth place in program history.
The Lincoln, Neb., native struck out 23 Salukis on April 20-21 with a pair of double-digit strikeout performances. With a dozen K's in game one versus SIU and 11 more in game three she increased her season total of double-digit strikeout efforts to 11 this season to lead the Valley.
The rest of the league owns just seven games total with 10 or more strikeouts. No other MVC pitcher can claim more than three such efforts in 2013.
Changstrom leads the Valley in ERA (1.69), strikeouts (223), opposing batting average (.193) and wins (20).
Creighton and the NCAA RPI: Creighton currently stands at No. 69 out of 291 squads in the NCAA ratings percentage index (RPI) compiled on Monday.
The Bluejays are 3-6 this season against teams ranked ahead of them in the latest calculations.
CU dropped a 5-2 contest on opening day to No. 49 San Diego State on Feb. 7 at the Kajikawa Classic in Tempe, Ariz.
A day later at the Classic this week's No. 3 Florida squad defeated Creighton 13-3. Later that same day the Bluejays toppled No. 33 Oregon State, 5-3.
The Jays overwhelmed No. 63 Ball State 7-1 at the Central Arkansas Tournament on Feb. 22 before falling to host UCA, the No. 67 squad this week, 13-2 later that evening.
The Bluejays dropped a 5-0 contest to No. 61 Eastern Illinois at the Rebel Spring Games on March 10.
Creighton owns a 4-3 win in eight innings over this week's No. 26 team, Tulsa, at the UTA Maverick Invitational on March 2.
On April 3, No. 6 Nebraska escaped with a 4-3 victory over the Bluejays at the CU Sports Complex. The Jays later dropped a 6-0 decision at Nebraska on April 24.
Illinois State is the only Missouri Valley Conference team ranked higher than the Jays; the Redbirds currently rate No. 47. Illinois State and Creighton cancelled their season series due to inclement weather on April 22.
Baker Ranks Among Top 20 in Three NCAA Offensive Categories: Senior Amy Baker ranks No. 12 in the country for home runs per game (0.39). She stands at No. 15 nationally in slugging percentage (.849). Baker's season home run total of 16 is tied for No. 19 in the country this week.
Bluejays' NCAA Rankings this Week: Creighton ranks No. 27 in the country at 1.07 home runs per game in the latest NCAA weekly statistical rankings released April 28.

Individually, junior Becca Changstrom's average of 9.0 strikeouts per seven innings stands at No. 21 in the NCAA while her season strikeout total of 223 ranks No. 23 nationally. Changstrom's total of six shutouts in 2013 is tied for No. 31 in the country. The hurler's total of 20 victories ranks No. 38 in the NCAA while her 1.69 ERA rates No. 47 nationally.
Baker Writes Recipe for Record-Setting Success in 2013: Senior Amy Baker maintained the Missouri Valley Conference home run record last week at a career total of 57.
Last month Baker belted career home run No. 52 to spark a come-from-behind victory at Evansville on March 16 and tie the MVC career home run record held by Abby Olson of Illinois State since 2011.
MVC Career Home Runs
T1. 57 Amy Baker, CU (2010-pres.)
T1. 52 Abby Olson, ILS (2008-2011)
3. 50 Renae Sinkler, CU (2007-10)
4. 47 Amber Smith, ILS (2006-09)
Baker's total of 16 homers this year already equals the fourth-best mark for a single season in the CU record books. She is two home runs short of her career-best total of 18 that ranks second all-time in program history.
She also became the first player to eclipse the Valley RBI record two weeks ago. However, Baker is in an active battle with Illinois State senior Elizabeth Kay to hold on to the top RBI mark.
Neither player drove in a run last weekend as Kay's career total of 166 RBI is just two more than Baker at 164 career runs batted in heading into the final week of the regular season.
MVC Career RBI
1. 166 Elizabeth Kay, ILS (2010-pres.)
2. 164 Amy Baker, CU (2010-pres.)
3. 157 Heather Stella, ILS (1996-99)
4. 150 Amber Smith, ILS (2006-09)
5. 146 Renae Sinkler, CU (2007-10)
6. 145 Jessica Huff, UE (1998-01)
7. 144 Abby Johnson, CU (2002-05)
In 2013, Baker has already set Creighton career marks in home runs (57) and runs batted in (164).
Give the Bluejays a Lead and You May Not Get it Back: Creighton is undefeated this season when leading after the third (14-0), fourth (17-0), and sixth (14-0) innings.
The Bluejays also have impressive records with an advantage at the beginning of the game. CU is 10-1 when leading after the first frame and 13-1 when up after two innings. The Jays are 14-1 when leading after five innings.
Creighton's Magic Numbers:
· Creighton is undefeated at 20-0 this season when allowing opponents fewer than three runs.
· The Bluejays are 20-1 when scoring four or more runs on offense in 2013.
· CU is 20-4 when scoring first this season.
· Creighton is 23-1 when posting more hits than its foes this year.
Hit Me With Your Best Shot: Just five weeks into the season, junior Alexis Cantu set the Creighton single-season mark for being hit by a pitch in 11 plate appearances. On Sunday she earned her 12th free base after getting hit at Missouri State.
Former Bluejay Michelle Graner held the previous record of 10 set in 2008.
Cantu's hit-by-pitch per game average of 0.29 stands No. 34 in the nation.
Cantu was hit multiple times on two occasions this year. Against Arkansas-Pine Bluff she was hit three times in four plate appearances. Cantu was hit by a pitch in each game of the Jays' series at Evansville. The Aces registered two HBP's against Cantu in game two sandwiched between one hit-by-pitch in the games one and three.
Baker Climbs to the Top of CU Career Record Books: Last month senior Amy Baker claimed the top spot in the all-time Creighton record books for home runs and runs batted in.
The senior's career total of 57 homers surpassed the previous top mark of 50, set by current assistant coach Renae Sinkler in 2010. Baker has also set the Missouri Valley Conference mark.
With 164 career runs batted in, Baker recently moved past both of her assistant coaches in the rankings Abby Johnson (144) and Sinkler (146) to claim the top spot.
Baker is also among the Creighton career top 10 for batting average, total bases and walks.
Baker leads the Valley in home runs (16), total bases (101) and slugging percentage (.849) this season.
Walk It Off in Grand Style: Amy Baker's walk-off grand slam in the bottom of the eighth inning against Youngstown State on March 12 secured a 6-2 win and marked the 16th time a CU player hit a walk-off blast since 2001.
The slam also marked the third straight season with a walk-off home run. In 2012
Alexis Cantu's three-run, walk-off homer in the bottom of the eighth inning vs. Missouri State on May 6 beat the Bears, 5-4.
Cantu's first career walk-off homer was the first by any Bluejay since Sammy Snygg posted one against Bradley on April 2, 2011.
Stacey Rybar is the last Bluejay with two walk-off homers in the same season (2002), and also the last Bluejay with a walk-off homer in the MVC Tournament (May 10, 2002 vs. UNI).
Here's a list of Creighton's walk-off home runs since 1999:
Inn. Player vs. Opponent Date
8 Amy Baker vs. Youngstown State 3/12/13

#CU hit as home team in away game
Homer Cooking: After not hitting a home run in the first two games of 2013, Creighton jacked at least one ball over the fence in 10 consecutive contests before the streak was halted at UT Arlington for three games.
Creighton has drilled a home run in 17 of its last 23 contests, including six multi-homer games. Freshman Blake Ringle belted the Bluejays' lone homer of the week in the top of the first of the series finale at Missouri State on Sunday.
Freshman Kelsey Allender's first career grand slam highlighted the series versus UNI on March 29. The slam was the Jays' second of the year following Amy Baker's walk-off grand slam against Youngstown State on March 12.
As a result, CU leads the Valley with 44 homers this season. The Bluejays rank No. 27 nationally with 1.07 home runs per game in the latest NCAA statistical rankings released April 29.
Seven Bluejays have hit multiple home runs this season led by Amy Baker's league-leading total of 16. Joining Baker with more than one homer in 2013 is Ringle (7), sophomore Bri Lingl (6), junior Alexis Cantu (6) sophomore Liz Dike (3), junior Blair Lowe (2) and Allender (2).
Allender hit her first career home run of an inside-the-park variety against Grambling State Feb. 24. Allender's inside-the-park home run is the first since Dike scored two of them last season, the last against Wichita State on April 7, 2012.
Senior Sammy Snygg also rifled a shot over the wall versus then-No. 14 Florida in Creighton's opening weekend. Junior Ellen Homan drilled a three-run homer at home against Bradley April 6.
Nebraska Rivalry Part Two: The Creighton softball team dropped a 6-0 decision at No. 20 Nebraska April 24 at the Cornhuskers' Bowlin Stadium.
Nebraska used three home runs to score all of its runs. Creighton managed a pair of hits and left five runners on base. Junior Ellen Homan notched the first hit of the game with an infield single to third in the second inning. Freshman Erin McGonigal recorded her first career hit in the third frame on a slap single down the left field line in her first career start.
Southern Illinois Series Recap: For the first time since 2009, Creighton welcomed Southern Illinois to Omaha for a Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) series. The Jays took two out of three contests to claim their fifth MVC series win of the year and remain in first place in the Valley standings.
Creighton won a wild series opener in dramatic fashion. After seven complete innings of scoreless ball, SIU and Creighton exploded for 11 runs in the eighth inning. After the Salukis posted five runs in the top of the frame, Creighton answered with six in the bottom of the eighth to cap a dramatic come-from-behind victory.
The Bluejays batted around in the bottom of the eighth as freshman Blake Ringle ripped a three-run pinch hit homer and junior Ellen Homan ended the game with a two-RBI bases-loaded single for the 6-5 win.
Southern Illinois snapped Creighton's season-long six-game win streak with a 6-1 victory in game two. The Bluejays blanked SIU 5-0 in the finale to capture the series win.
Creighton hit .310 in the series scoring 12 runs on 26 hits. Three Bluejays hit .400 or better over the three-game series. Creighton hit four homers on the weekend including a pair from junior Alexis Cantu and one each from Ringle and senior Amy Baker. Sophomore Liz Dike finished the weekend with a .417 average at the dish with a 5-of-12 effort.
Junior pitcher Becca Changstrom went undefeated against Southern Illinois with a pair of complete-game victories while surpassing the 200-strikeout mark.
In her two starts against the Salukis, Changstrom pitched 15.0 innings giving up just five runs on 10 hits, resulting in an ERA of 2.33. She only allowed the Salukis one inning of scoring all weekend and shut out SIU in the series finale.
The Lincoln, Neb., native struck out 23 Salukis on the weekend with a pair of double-digit strikeout performances. With a dozen K's in game one and 11 more in game three she increased her season total of double-digit strikeout efforts to 11 this season to lead the Valley.
As a result, Changstrom claimed MVC Pitcher of the Week honors for her play.
Indiana State Series Recap: For the first time since 2005, Creighton posted a road sweep at Indiana State. The Bluejays won game one of a doubleheader 3-1 before dominating the nightcap with a 16-5 victory in five frames Saturday. CU closed the series with a 9-1 victory in six innings on Sunday.
The Jays outscored ISU 28-7 and out-hit the Sycamores 33-15 on the weekend. Six Bluejays hit .400 or better over the three-game series. CU players batted .393 at the plate and finished the weekend with a .798 slugging percentage.
Creighton hit seven homers on the weekend including a pair from senior Amy Baker and two from junior Blair Lowe. Coming into the weekend, Lowe boasted one career home run, but hit two homers out of the Sycamores' Price Field.

Changstrom won games one and three for the Jays, allowing just two earned runs while fanning 19 Sycamores on the weekend including 10 in the finale – her ninth double-digit strikeout effort this season.
Marching into Spring: Creighton finished the month of March with a 14-5 record this year. The Jays closed out the month on a four-game win streak and opened its home season with a three-game sweep of Northern Iowa to take over first place in the Valley.
Last season the Bluejays finished 9-10 in the third month of 2012.
Bradley Series Recap: Creighton took two out of three games from Bradley at home April 6-7. Each game of the series was decided by just one run.
Bradley won the opener 3-2 before the Bluejays came from behind to take game two of a doubleheader 6-5 in eight innings on April 6. CU jumped out to a 3-0 lead April 7 before BU scored two in its final at-bat for a 3-2 Jays' win.
Senior Amy Baker's pair of home runs against Bradley increased her career total to 54 homers. With 156 career runs batted in, Baker needs just one RBI this week to tie the Valley career RBI record of 157.
Day one of the series ended in dramatic fashion. Junior Ellen Homan connected on a three-run home run just over the right field wall to tie game two at 5-5 in the bottom of the sixth inning. It marked Homan's first home run of the season and third of her career.
In her first at-bat of the season, junior right-handed pitcher Becca Changstrom capped the come-from-behind victory with a walk-off double to right center in the bottom of the eighth inning of game two to give the Jays a 6-5 victory over BU.
Nebraska Rivalry Part One: Down 4-3 with one out in the bottom of the seventh inning, the Creighton softball team rallied to load the bases and put pressure on visiting No. 22 Nebraska but the Cornhuskers got out of the jam to escape with the one-run victory at the CU Sports Complex Wednesday evening.
The loss snapped a four-game win streak for Creighton (19-10) as Nebraska (26-7) dealt the Bluejays their first defeat at home this year.
Creighton jumped out to an early 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first. Senior Amy Baker drew a two-out walk before junior Alexis Cantu drilled a two-run homer over the left field wall to put the Bluejays up two after one inning.
Nebraska quickly answered in the top of the second inning with back-to-back solo home runs then took the lead for good in the fifth before adding an insurance run in the seventh.
Following a leadoff walk, a double from CU sophomore Bri Lingl down the right field line put runners in scoring position with no outs. A one-out RBI single from junior Blair Lowe scored a run to cut the Husker lead to 4-3 with runners on the corners. Freshman Kelsey Allender drew a four-pitch walk to load the bases with one out on the scoreboard.
But the Huskers handled the pressure to strike out the final two Bluejay batters and escape with a 4-3 victory.
Northern Iowa Series Recap: Creighton swept a three-game series from Northern Iowa March 29-30 at the CU Sports Complex. The Bluejays swept a Friday doubleheader by scores of 4-1 and 11-1, with the second game shortened to five innings. CU clinched the Saturday finale 4-2.
Sophomore Liz Dike led the Bluejay offense last weekend with five hits versus Northern Iowa. Including a 4-for-4 effort in the finale. She recorded a triple, double and pair of singles. Freshman Kelsey Allender hit the first home run at the CU Sports Complex of 2013, and her second career homer with a grand slam in game two.
Junior Becca Changstrom remained undefeated in MVC starts at 4-0 and improved to 13-4 overall this season after registering two complete-game wins. She gave up just three earned runs on nine hits through 14 innings in the circle resulting in a 1.50 ERA. Changstrom notched her seventh double-digit strikeout performance in the opener with 11 K's.

Preseason Predictions: The Creighton softball team placed four players on the 2013 preseason all-conference team as the league's coaches picked the Bluejays to finish fourth in the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC), the league office announced Jan. 23.
The fourth-place prediction is the highest preseason ranking for the Bluejays since 2010 when they were picked to win the Valley. Creighton has finished lower than fourth in the MVC regular season standings just three times in the past 16 seasons.
Senior catcher Amy Baker earned the second All-MVC preseason selection of her career to go with a nod from 2011 during her sophomore campaign. Additionally, three juniors claimed their first preseason honors in designated player and pitcher Alexis Cantu, pitcher Becca Changstrom and outfielder Ellen Homan. All four of the CU honorees earned All-MVC accolades after last season.
The four CU player selections match Southern Illinois for the most on the 2013 preseason squad. Additionally, the four players on the preseason all-conference team are the most for any Creighton squad dating back to 2004 when three Jays earned All-MVC preseason honors and current assistant Abby Johnson collected honorable mention recognition.
Recapping 2012: The Bluejays return 11 players from last season's team that compiled a 28-25-1 overall record and finished fifth in the MVC at 15-11. Creighton finished last season with a school-record 294 runs. CU led the MVC with a .292 batting average, 56 homers, 275 RBI and a .464 slugging percentage. The Jays ranked in the NCAA top-30 in scoring (No. 20), home runs per game (No. 22) and slugging percentage (No. 27) in 2012.
