Loved my stay at Leasburg Dam. The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful, as were my neighbors. I opted to dry camp in the the Agave Loop, where the sites are much more private and rustic and a mix between electric and non-electric. The Cactus Patch Loop is more of your traditional RV Park kind of vibe whereas Agave Loop feels more like State Park camping. I took a non-electric at the end of the Agave loop that was completely private and sat on a bluff overlooking the Rio Grande. It had a large pavilion with a picnic table and a fire ring made of rocks. The view/privacy were worth having no electric/water to me and the site cost $10 instead of $14. There was a fresh water spigot maybe 100 feet away. I stayed on a Saturday night, the campground was full and it was as quiet as can be. - RV_CamperGuy

Excellent state park facility. Sites are nicely spaced, offering privacy because of location, not because of vegetation. Plenty of bird and animal activity. I put a bird feeder up and the birds went crazy! Convenient location to Las Cruces. White Sands NM is about 1 hour drive away. Hatch NM nearby if you need a supply of chiles. Gila Cliff Dwellings a nice day trip. Plenty to see on the 3 hour drive and the Cliff Dwellings are well worth the drive. Would stay here again. - obxblond

Very nice park. New Mexico does a great job providing sites with permanent shelters. Our camping area had pit toilets that were like brand new. Flush toilets and showers were back at the main bldg by the Visitor center - a short bike ride away from our spot. Nice walking trails and super helpful staff. Dring our stay in winter. WiFi was available in the Visitor Center but only from 12 pm to 4 pm, . Electric and water at our site were great. - Euri

Proposals may include work to be done by one or more other institutions. In these cases, the other participating institutions become subrecipients under the University of Idaho's prime award. If subrecipient institutions are being used, appropriate paperwork (e.g. a commitment form from the subrecipient's authorized signer) is required at the time the proposal is submitted to confirm the proposed subrecipient's eligibility and willingness to participate. Forms are available on the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) website under the subaward forms section of the forms tab.
When a subaward or subcontract has been included as part of a larger proposal, the total yearly cost for the subaward is included as a line item in the University of Idaho's budget. Under the Modified Total Direct Cost (MTDC) method UI indirect costs are assessed on the first $25,000 of individual subawards. The subrecipient may also include his/her institution's indirect costs within the subaward budget, as long as they have a federally-negotiated rate agreement, or a 10% MTDC de minimis rate if they do not. If a subrecipient does not have a federally-negotiated indirect rate and wants to charge more than the de minimis rate contact OSP to work with the subrecipient towards resolution.
Subawards are, in effect, mini-proposals. They should therefore include essentially the same elements as proposals. At a minimum, each subaward proposal should contain the following:

One thing everyone is aware of is that what a player does in April is probably not how they will do by September. 25 games out of 162 is a very small sample size. However, that doesn't mean we haven't learned anything about players during the first 3 weeks of the season. In "April Baseball", I'll take a look at some of the guys off to hot or cold starts and see if we can determine what we know about them so far and where they will end up. To start off, I'll look at Alexei Ramirez.
Alexei Ramirez, SS (CWS) – 71 PA, .379/.423/.621, 4 HR, 14 RBI, 13 R, 3 SB, 194 wRC+, 0.9 WAR
Alexei Ramirez has been a huge surprise to start the season. It's not just the huge AVG but he's hitting for power, already racking up 4 HR when he had only 6 all of last season. For real baseball, Alexei ranks 8th in WAR to start the season while being 2nd on ESPN's player rater for fantasy baseball. It's pretty obvious Ramirez won't end the season batting well above .300 or hitting 40 HR but he was initially projected for the neighborhood of 15 HR and a .285/.325/.415 line. The question now is: is it reasonable to expect him to do better than that?
I'll start with power where the best answer is there's no way to tell. Batters power tends to be one of the last things to stabilize any given season so data from the first 71 plate appearances won't mean a whole lot. However, I can look at the previous data and say that expecting over 15 HR, even with the hot start, may be optimistic. Currently, Ramirez has a .242 ISO which is well above his career .129. Since his rookie year in 2008, Ramirez has only hit over 15 HR twice, getting 21 in 2008 and 18 in 2010. During the past 2 seasons, he combined for 15, seeing his ISO drop below .100 in each year. So far, Ramirez is benefiting from a 21.1% HR/FB, which is well above his 8.4% career average or the 13.8% he got in his rookie year. So it seems from a power perspective, he's been more lucky than good so far.
The rest of the hitting numbers may not be entirely a fluke. Ramirez is benefiting from a .382 BABIP (career .297) which definitely plays into his .379 AVG. However, there are numbers to indicate Ramirez may not be purely lucky when it comes to his contact and OBP. Ramirez's K% has been steadily dropping since 2010 when it was at 13.1% and in 2014 it is at 9.9%, down from 10.1% last season. This, along with his 7.0% BB% (which is a big increase from last year's 3.9% and his career 5.1%) has led to him getting on base a lot more. And it's not just that he's getting more walks and striking out less, he seems to be a lot more patient at the plate. Here's a graph measuring how well he's laid off bad pitches.
And here is one showing his overall approach at the plate.
Finally, this is his whiff%
All three graphs show that this season, Ramirez has been more patience, more discriminant, and missing less than he has before – especially on offspeed pitches. To give hard numbers, Ramirez is swinging on pitches outside the zone 31.9% compared to 41.8% last season. His total swing% is down from 55.3% to 48.2% and his swinging strike% went from 6.4% to 5.3%. Now it's entirely possible that Ramirez has just faced a lot of pitchers who don't have the best offspeed pitches which could explain everything but the numbers in this paragraph are for all pitches. Seeing a drop off in overall swing% may indicate a better approach to the plate. It's also worth noting that so far, Ramirez's GB%, LD%, and FB% are all within a few percentage points of last year's numbers, so not much has changed there.
So the point of this was to determine what is reasonable for Ramirez this season. I've already explained why I'm not counting on much extra power from his, putting his HRs around 15 or so. At his best, Ramirez had a .290/.317/.475 line. Except for the slugging, he's coming off of a very similar season last year. I think there's a chance he pushes close to a .300 AVG this year but, more importantly, he could end up with his best OBP of his career. For a guy who stole 50 bases during the past 2 seasons, having the extra opportunities could be a very nice addition to his game. Assuming you play in a fantasy league with people who understand regression and BABIP, I'd be holding on to Ramirez since no one will likely buy high enough for a guy who may end up with a career year at the plate.

Sweet 16 is for the romanian Sorana Cirstea!
Sorana Cirstea bio
Sorana Cirstea was born in April 7th 1990, in Bucharest, capital of Romania.
The cute romanian is a good all-rounder, having a controlled style which minimizes errors. Being a good doubles player, she is also a very solid net player.
Sorana Cirstea has solidified her place in the top-100 in both singles and doubles in the last few years. Her highest ranking in singles is 23 and her highest ranking in doubles is 35, both achieved in 2009.
Sorana Cirstea won her first WTA Tour singles title back in 2008, in Tashkent (Uzbekistan), beating Sabine Lisicki in the final. Her best result on the circuit came at the 2009 edition of the French Open, where she reached the quarter-finals, after beating number 21 Alize Cornet, number 10 caroline Wozniacki, and number 5 Jelena Jankovic. She eventually lost to Samantha Stosur.
Sorana Cirstea had a form decline since then, and she had to return to play at lower level tournaments from the ITF circuit to try to regain a more prominent place at the rankings. She has recently had a few victories over better ranked players, which may show that her best days are coming back.
Her circle of friends on the WTA Tour include fellow hotties Caroline Wozniacki and Maria Kirilenko.

News Release
For Immediate Release
March 16, 2010
Senior Assistant Attorney General Jeffery A. Strelzin
(603) 271-3671
I. Introduction
The Office of the Attorney General and the Londonderry Police Department conducted an investigation into an incident which occurred on October 21, 2009 in Londonderry, New Hampshire. The incident involved Suzanne and Binh Vernet and resulted in both their deaths. The purpose of this final report is to summarize the findings of the investigation and to confirm that the deaths were due to a murder/suicide incident.
II. Factual Findings
On October 21, 2009, at approximately 9:10 p.m., the Londonderry Police Department responded to the Vernet residence at 4 Fiddlers Ridge Road in Londonderry in response to a 911 call. The teenage female caller reported that her mother was injured and that her father left the house carrying a knife stating he would kill himself. [1]
The police arrived at the Vernet residence and discovered the four Vernet children there (three girls (ages 16, 14 and 13) and one boy (age 8)). None of the Vernet children were physically injured. Suzanne Vernet was discovered in an upstairs bedroom/bathroom area. She was unconscious and bleeding heavily from her face and head. She was treated at the scene and then transported to a hospital in Massachusetts where she later died on October 22, 2009.
The police conducted interviews with all four of the Vernet children. The youngest girl reported that her parents had been arguing in a bedroom behind closed doors. Part of the argument centered on the fact that Binh Vernet was accusing Suzanne Vernet of cheating on him.[2] The daughter became so concerned with what she heard that she tried to get into the room. When that failed, she called her other sisters and asked them to get home. The two other girls arrived a short time later and together broke into the bedroom. When the door opened, they saw Binh Vernet holding a knife. He said he was going to kill himself and ran out of the room. The girls saw their mother on the floor in the bedroom/bathroom area and went to her aid. Suzanne Vernet had a substantial amount of blood on her head and was gravely injured. One of her children called 911 for help.
The information regarding the incident was put out to other law enforcement agencies so that they could be on the lookout for Binh Vernet. His minivan was eventually located parked on a dirt road to a home on Reservoir Avenue in Rehoboth, Massachusetts on October 22, 2009. The officers who found the minivan looked inside and could see what appeared to be blood on the steering wheel, but no sign of Binh Vernet. A search was conducted in some nearby woods and Vernet was located and found to be deceased, hanging from a tree. A knife was found near his body as well.
The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Massachusetts conducted autopsies on Suzanne and Binh Vernet. They determined that Suzanne Vernet died as a result of blunt force trauma to the head. She also had numerous abrasions and contusions to her body as well as stab and incised wounds to her hands and lacerations to her face and scalp.[3] The manner of her death was homicide. Binh Vernet's autopsy revealed that he died from asphyxia by hanging and his manner of death was suicide.
Subsequent investigation revealed that Suzanne and Binh Vernet had been having marital problems prior to the October 21, 2009 incident. On October 15, 2009, Suzanne Vernet called the Londonderry police to report that Binh Vernet had stolen her cell phone. Suzanne told the police that Binh was very controlling and had assaulted her about four months prior. She also said that she did not call the police after that incident. The Vernet's marriage went "down hill" after that incident and Suzanne decided to end the marriage and the two separated. She said that she and her husband had been separated for about two months but due to financial issues had remained in the home together but in separate bedrooms.
The police followed up on Suzanne Vernet's claims regarding the stolen cell phone and attempted to speak to Binh Vernet about the allegations. However, Binh Vernet hired a lawyer and attempts were made to schedule an interview with him but that never took place.[4] In the meantime, Suzanne Vernet left a message with the police department informing them that Binh Vernet had been advised by his lawyer to stay at a hotel from that point on and not at the Vernet residence. The investigation went no further because Binh Vernet attacked Suzanne a few days later on October 21, 2009.
III. Conclusion
Based on a careful examination of the circumstances surrounding the October 21, 2009 incident, as detailed in this report, the Attorney General has concluded that the deaths of Suzanne Vernet and Binh Vernet were due to a murder/suicide incident which was likely motivated by marital issues.
[1] Around the same time a neighbor also called 911 after he spotted Binh Vernet leaving the residence.
[2] Binh Vernet had previously told his children that he believed their mother had a boyfriend.
[3] Suzanne's injuries were consistent with two bloody dumbbells found near her body and the knife found near Binh Vernet's body.
[4] The police also spoke to a private investigator that Binh Vernet had hired to conduct surveillance on Suzanne Vernet. This private investigator stated that Binh Vernet had information that Suzanne Vernet had been spending time with another man and wanted the private investigator to obtain confirmation for him, which he did.

In the absence of Adams County Sheriff James Muller, chief deputy Len Supenski touted his boss' credentials Monday night at an Adams County candidates forum at Gettysburg College.
Republican Muller had a reported family emergency and was unable to attend.
Supenski, who has known Muller for four years, noted the recent recommendation for accreditation received by the sheriff's department. The accreditation, achieved through the Pennsylvania Chiefs of Police Association, made the Adams County Sheriff's Department the 94th agency and the fifth county sheriff's office to achieve accreditation.
"Would you want to go to a hospital that isn't accredited?" Supenski asked the crowd of roughly 150. "Would you want to go to a college that isn't accredited?"
Muller's opponent in the Nov. 5 election, Pennsylvania constable Michael Redding, said that while Muller may have been a good sheriff's deputy, when he took office in 2006, the administrative abilities were not there.
"Since his first time in office, we got a motorcycle, a mounted unit and a K-9 dog that led to two handlers and a lawsuit," Redding, a Democrat, said.
In 2011, an agreement was finalized that allowed former sheriff's deputy Kristen Stebbins to keep Poket, who was used as a police dog. The county also paid Stebbins $23,000 for what the suit claimed she was owed as well as care of the dog.
While Supenski rattled off a litany of accomplishments achieved by the sheriff's department during Muller's eight years in office, Redding said the department needs to be the best it can be as a sheriff's office.
"It doesn't need to be a police department," Redding said.
Also Monday night, Democratic district magistrate candidate Tracy Sheffer questioned her Republican opponent's certification to be a district judge. Sheffer, a local attorney, said a non-attorney has to be adequately trained and pass an exam before becoming district magistrate.
"I don't believe my opponent has done that and he wouldn't be able to do that until after the election," Sheffer said.
But her opponent, Matthew Harvey, Liberty Township police chief, said he would be able to take the necessary training and pass the exam before he would be sworn in to office in January.
Both candidates spoke admirably about Thomas Carr, who has held the seat they are seeking since 1984.
"I intend to hear every case with an open mind, hear the facts and apply the law, just as he has done all these years," Sheffer said.
Harvey said with 17 years of police experience in Pennsylvania, he wants to continue to be a part of the Adams County justice system. He noted his endorsement from state Sen. Rich Alloway, R-Chambersburg, and Adams County District Attorney Shawn Wagner.
Sheffer said she was endorsed by former Adams County President Judge Oscar Spicer.
In the contest for county treasurer, incumbent Theresa Adamik and her opponent, Liberty Township Supervisor Bob Jackson, both said they would like to see the role of county treasurer expanded.
But Adamik, who became the county's treasurer in 1998, said she has offered her services to county officials during her four terms in office to little avail.
Adamik said that in York County, the county treasurer, controller and manager serve as the county's budget committee. The three officials fine tune a budget each year and present it to the commissioners, she said.
"I've brought this to the attention of this board of commissioners and the previous board," Adamik said. "They both said it's a good idea and that's as far as it goes."
Jackson, who has experience in the private sector, said he would aim to increase revenues collected by the treasurer for gun permits, gambling permits and pet licenses.
"It's the treasurer's job to make sure revenue streams are maximized," Jackson said.
Adamik, who is seeking her fifth term, said increasing revenues would require legislative action. She said county treasurers across Pennsylvania routinely request a price increase for license sales when the issue comes up in Harrisburg. She said the County Treasurers' Association of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has not been successful with the Pennsylvania Game Commission in increasing the prices of hunting licenses.
Jackson said an increase in the county's pillow tax would be helpful to generate more revenue. He also mentioned the need to make sure all hotels, inns and bed and breakfasts are paying the pillow tax.
Adamik said eliminating the restrictions mandating how pillow tax revenue can be spent would be more helpful than increasing the 5 percent tax on lodging facilities.

Had heard some hype about the Philosophy line but never used it until I recently received a gift which included this "Hope In A Jar" moisturizer along with "Hope In A Jar Night" moisturizer and the " Purity Cleanser". Agree with the poor (hygiene) packaging but gave all items a try. Very "different" fragrances and weird consistencies but stuck with the regimen per some good reviewer comments. Within a couple of weeks or so I started developing boil - like blemishes deep within the skin - which I had not experienced since pre-puberty, followed by a general bumpiness all over the areas where creams were applied. I then tried eliminating each one over time to find the culprit. The day and night creams were DEFINITELY the main offenders. I allowed my face to completely clear before trying the "Hope In A Jar" day cream by itself and my skin started to break out again. Same experience when the night cream was isolated. The Purity cleanser when used alone even caused issues after a while and felt harsh and chemical on my skin. I feel these products are not worth the marketing hype.
Retuned to my gentle cleanser and moisturizers and my skin is clear and happy again!
UPDATE: recently read an independent research/watchdog site to protect consumers from false claims and also gives the facts about product ingredients on our skin. The "Hope" creams were given poor to average ratings and also did not contain all ingredients claimed, but more importantly contained ingredients that are likely to cause irritation. The cleanser had a POOR rating for containing harsh fragrances and chemicals that strip essential oils in our skin.

I'm in love with this stuff. I hear a lot of complaints about the smell, but I don't mind it. Especially because it is so fabulous for my skin. It keeps my acne prone skin balanced. I have not had a single pimple since I began using this a couple months ago. I have zero flaking and zero overproduction of oil when using this. My skin looks so rosy and healthy!!!! I love that it comes in a jar. The jar makes it easy to know when I'm running low. So convenient. It's quite pricey, but completely worth it. Seriously, I don't get all of the bad reviews. But all skin is different.

This moisturizer receives negative reviews because of the fragrance and the consistency. I happen to not mind the smell and the consistency of the lotion. I have used this moisturizer on and off for a few years now and keep coming back to it. I like to use this when my skin is extremely dry to the point where it actually is cracked and hurts (yes, this really does happen during the winter). I do not use this as much during the summer because it is such a heavy moisturizer but it does feel very nice on sunburns. I think hope in a jar is worth a try and from what i've heard it works for most and disappoints a few.

Ladies this has been the Ultimate Worst facial moisturizer that I had the misfortune of using it at my face! And trust me I had my share of bad moisturizer but like this I had never encountered! First the packaging gives a cheap vibe and its too overpriced for a product that is not even high end, and most importantly it made my face break out in 1 day! Imagine 24 hours after applying and my face is filled with big red bumps and under-skin pimples! And my skin is not even acne prone! I have dry/combination skin so normally for me a bad day would be my skin would dry out not be filled with bumps!! So I think philosophy should really be more honest about their claims for this cream! and not sell false lies!

Used this years and years ago, I thought it smelled odd but I not only got used to it, I grew to love the scent. It was just a moisturizer for my normal skin back then, now years later I wear it under my FoP because I love that it gently exfoliates my skin as well as brightening my skin. I had stopped using it for years but I gave it another go and glad that I did, it just takes a bit of time to reap the rewards of this basic but great product. I have dry skin so this is not enough moisture for me, the HiaJ dry? Meh, the HiaJ Night...LOVE that one!

This cream gets hated on a lot, but I've been using this off and on for 10 years and I keep coming back because it works for me. I will say that the scent is inexcusable, it smells exactly like rotten milk. But the active ingredient is lactic acid so maybe that's why. At any rate, I only ever use this as a night cream because there's no way I'm going to let anyone catch me with that smell on me. That's why I give it 4 lippies instead of 5, because other than the scent, I think HIAJ is a 5-lippie product. This delivers RESULTS. After only a few uses it gives me bright, even, glowy skin that people compliment me on. Provides the right amount of moisture too, hydrating but not greasy. Doesn't break me out. Doesn't cost a fortune either. Have repurchased many times and will continue to do so.

this has got to be the worst cream, for the price paid.
It has an unusually bad smell and after being applied, it caused some spots. I have usually seen these type of spots when I am allergic to some ingredient in a cream.
Not recommended at all, for sensitive skin types.
Oh, and folks, this has parabens and propylene glycol! I'd be willing to use even Desert Essence facial moisturizer over this cream. It costs a fraction of this cream and does not have these objectionable ingredients!

Bulldog Weekly Report
Bulldog Athletes of the Week
Female: Sarah Kortze, track and field
Kortze, a senior from Rockford, Ill., broke her own school record in the 10,000 meter run by clocking in at 36:33.47 at the Drake Relays on April 25. That time is the top mark in the GPAC and ranks sixth on the NAIA leaderboard.
Male: Shawn Rodehorst, golf
Rodehorst, a sophomore from Kearney, Neb., tied for first at GPAC Qualifier No. 4 with a one-under-par 70 in Sioux Center, Iowa, on April 25. That score allowed him to earn all-conference honors and place eighth individually in the GPAC for the season. He also broke a school record for lowest season average.
News and Notes:

- Both Bulldog men's and women's golfers completed their 2012-13 campaigns last week as GPAC qualifier action culminated. As a team, the men finished with a four round 338-335-325-319–1,317 at the GPAC qualifiers to place 10th in the conference. The women turned in a 415-392-398-401–1,606 to put them in 11th in the conference chase. The clear bright spot from the final week of play was sophomore Shawn Rodehorst. Read more details about last week HERE.
- Rodehorst, a native of Kearney, Neb., has already begun rewriting Concordia record books in just two seasons as a Bulldog. Rodehorst tied for first at GPAC Qualifier No. 4 with a one-under-par 70 in Sioux Center, Iowa, on April 25. That score allowed him to place eighth individually in the GPAC – good enough for all-conference honors.
- Rodehorst, who started the spring season in 30th place in the GPAC, set a school record for lowest average round in a single season with his 75.2 average in 13 rounds in 2012-13. After averaging 77.25 in the fall, Rodehorst improved to a sizzling 71.8 in five spring rounds, culminating with his masterful effort at the final GPAC qualifier.
- "He played the cleanest round I've seen him play," Bulldog head coach Brett Muller said. "Shawn came in as a freshman and I knew he would be very good. He showed glimpses as a freshman of what he could be and then showed more of that in the fall. This spring he put it all together. He just doesn't get in trouble. He is very consistent and has an exceptional mental game."
- The men's team score of 319 at GPAC Qualifier No. 4 was its lowest of the four qualifier events. Freshman Garrett Suchanek followed Rodehorst on April 25 with an 82. Concordia's group of five was rounded out by two more freshmen in Brock Colclasure (83) and Sam Simonson (84) and a junior in Sam DeFreece (85) on the par-71 course. DeFreece's four-round total of 85-90-78-85–338 allowed him to finish 32nd overall among individual GPAC golfers, while Simonson (87-89-88-84–348) came in 34th.
- The women were forced to play 36 holes on April 26 due to the postponement of GPAC Qualifier No. 3. Senior Chelsea Peck carded the team's top two-round total with a 92-104–196. However, that performance left the Lincoln native short of all-conference honors for a second-straight year. "Chelsea got off to a great start shooting a 43 on her first nine holes," Muller said. "Then she had some bad breaks and lost a little bit of confidence. She put a lot of pressure on herself to get back into that all-conference range. It just didn't go her way."
- Sophomore Melissa McIntosh was right behind Peck after shooting 98-100–198. Sophomore Janelle Hallaert took third for the Bulldogs, shooting 101-98–199. Senior Madison Phillips (107-100–207) and sophomore Allison Schieffer (110-103–213) rounded out the Concordia lineup at the final GPAC qualifiers.
- The two-round day seemed to cause higher scores than normal as the grueling schedule wore on the GPAC field. "Playing 36 holes today not only took a toll on us but on everybody," Muller said. "The scores were higher than you would normally see even though the conditions were the best we've had all spring."
- Muller's Bulldogs will return their entire varsity lineup on the men's side for 2013-14 and three of the five women who competed last week in Sophomores Janell Hallaert, Melissa McIntosh and Allison Schieffer.
- The 2013 campaign came to an end on April 26 for head coach Jeremy Geidel's squad. A 1-0 loss to Midland in game one of the doubleheader in Fremont, Neb., eliminated Concordia from contention for this weekend's GPAC tournament, which will feature the league's top eight teams in the standings. However, the Bulldogs did end the season on a positive note by defeating the Warriors 11-6 in game two of the twin bill. Concordia finished the season at 13-26 overall and 6-14 in conference action.
- Shortstop Kyle Ivanoff, one of eight seniors who were recognized at Senior Day on April 25, finished his career with a tremendous final week as a Bulldog. He recorded two four-hit games, raising his season average from .252 to .286. Ivanoff proved extremely durable over his career as he started all 53 games at shortstop last season and all 39 games at the same position in 2013. The Tucson, Ariz., native finished his career with a .281 batting average in 134 games.
- Concordia took out a season's worth of frustration at the plate by busting out for a season high 17 hits in Friday's victory over Midland. Five different Bulldogs collected two or more hits, led by the four from Ivanoff. The team's previous season high for hits was 15 – a number it reached in a 20-1 thrashing of Illinois-Springfield in Florida on March 14.
- Concordia lost two games last week by just a single run, dropping its record to 6-8 in contests decided by one run. That means that 35.9 percent of the Bulldogs' games were one-run decisions. Concordia also went 6-8 in one-run games in 2012 when 26.4 percent of the team's games came down to a single run.
- Freshman Tyler Harris made an immediate impact after finding his way to Concordia via his hometown of Valrico, Fla. He ended up winning the team batting title with a .307 average – 26th in the GPAC – while serving as a middle-of-the-order hitter for much of the season. Harris started 31 games and appeared in 33 of 39 games.
- Center fielder Camaren Gause also paid instant dividends after transferring to Concordia this past fall via Easter Arizona Community College. The Tucson, Ariz., native was one of three Bulldogs – along with Ivanoff and Andrew Yerrell – to start all 39 games. Gause batted .288 while leading the team in runs (24), doubles (11), walks (16) and on-base percentage (.372).
- In conference games only, Concordia had three players who batted better than .300 – Ivanoff (.328), Harris (.321) and Yerrell (.302). As a team, the Bulldogs hit .254 within conference play and averaged 3.65 runs per game.
- The Bulldogs posted a record of 10-4 when they scored four runs or more. On the flip side, Concordia went just 3-22 when tallying only four runs or fewer. The lack of consistency offensively played a part in the Bulldogs never winning more than two games in a row this season.
- Generating more offense will be a priority for 2014 in addition to replacing four key senior pitchers who accounted for 50 percent of the innings thrown by Bulldog hurlers this season. Rotation stalwarts Joe Brandenburg (3-5, 4.43 ERA) and Jeremiah Luber (2-6, 5.02 ERA) will depart along with relievers Jordan Ahl (four saves) and Nick Thill (3.58 ERA), who led the team with 20 appearances out of the bullpen. Ivanoff, catcher Ray Finley (.240, 3 HR, 21 RBIs) and first baseman Nolan Schaefer (.232, 15 RBIs) will also graduate. That leaves players like Gause, Harris, Yerrell and lefty starting pitcher Luke Parish-Ward (4-4, 3.91 ERA) as the nucleus of the 2014 team.
Track and Field
- Bulldog track and field had at least one athlete in competition every day from Wednesday through Saturday last week as Concordia was represented at three different meets. Athletes were funneled between the University of Nebraska Pre-Drake meet (April 24), the Nebraska Wesleyan Spring Open (April 25) and the Drake Relays (April 25-27). To read more about each of these meets, click HERE.
- Senior Sarah Kortze was one of 14 Bulldogs to compete in the prestigious Drake Relays in Des Moines, Iowa. The Rockford, Ill., native shattered her own school record in the 10,000 meter run by roughly 22 seconds by clocking in at 36:33.47 at Drake. That time placed her 19th among the 34 competitors in the event and currently ranks as the sixth fastest in the NAIA this season. Kortze has qualified for the outdoor national championships.
- The Bulldog men's 4x400 meter relay also turned in a great performance at Drake, coming up just over a second short of the school record with a time of 3:15.05. Concordia's quartet of Taiheem Pleasant, Alex Heiden, Benjamin Hinckfoot and John Cartier came in 11th out of 31 relay teams in the preliminaries at Drake. Their time is an automatic national qualifying mark that checks in at No. 5 on the NAIA leaderboard. The school record in the 4x400 meter relay is still held by the group of Mark Samuels (current assistant coach), Matt Luevano, Josh Gerken and Nick Suing, who collectively finished in 3:14.01 at the 2004 outdoor national championships.
- Junior three-time All-American Jamie Crouse also traveled to Des Moines, Iowa, to test her mettle against the best of the best. Her efforts at Drake capped a busy week for the Belgrade, Neb., native, who competed at three different meets in a four-day stretch. Crouse recorded a hammer throw of 176' 9" to place 15th at Drake. However, the highlight of the week for Crouse came at the Nebraska Wesleyan Spring Open where she recorded her best shot put mark of the season at 45' 6 ½", placing her second at the meet. That mark ranks ninth in the NAIA this season.
- Crouse was one of three individuals to claim titles at the UNL Pre-Drake meet. Crouse took first in the hammer throw (175' 7") while junior John Cartier won the 200 meter dash (21.96) and junior Adam Prahlow captured the 800 meter run (1:57.54).
- Head coach Kregg Einspahr's Bulldogs then added four more titles at the Nebraska Wesleyan Spring Open: Jonathon Becker (110 meter hurdles – 15.15), Hayden Hohnholt (3,000 meter steeplechase – 9:50.79), Jericca Pearson (triple jump – 37' 8 ½") and Erika Schroeder (3,000 meter steeplechase – 12:14.97).
- All of last week's events served as a tune up for the highly anticipated GPAC Outdoor Track and Field Championships which will be hosted on the Concordia University campus on Friday and Saturday. Doane appears to be the favorite for both the men and women after winning GPAC titles on both sides during the indoor season.
- While Doane may be the favorite in the team races, Concordia expects to score plenty of points in a variety of events. Crouse is the obvious favorite to win the hammer throw as part of a strong group of throwers, while the women are also particularly strong in the pole vault. Meanwhile, the men should fare well in the relays and in the hurdles. The Bulldogs hope to move up the conference standings after finishing third on the men's side and fourth on the women's side during at the GPAC Indoor Track and Field Championships. View the event schedule for the GPAC outdoor championships HERE.
- The Concordia women locked up the No. 3 seed in the GPAC tournament thanks to a perfect week in conference action. Meanwhile, the men fell 8-1 to Hastings in their only match last week. The women boast an overall record of 10-6 and a league mark of 4-2. The men are now 5-9 overall and 1-3 in conference action.
- The Bulldog women topped Hastings, 6-3, and Northwestern, 7-2, as they ran their win streak to three. Concordia clinched both matches quickly by winning two of three doubles matches and then promptly taking the first three singles matches to go final.
- Both sophomore Liz Kjellsen and junior Katelyn Koll put forth impressive comebacks to win singles matches versus Northwestern. After winning the first set, Kjellsen found herself down 5-0 in the second set only to rally and win the next seven games to take the match. After the first two sets went 4-6, 6-2, Northwestern's Terry Odera took the upper hand in the tiebreaker before Koll won five games in a row at one point and ended up winning 10-8 to run her singles mark to 8-6. "We showed some great mental fortitude and had some good comebacks," Nelsons said. "It's encouraging to see that our girls never count themselves out even when they're down within a set or even a game."
- A trio of Bulldogs won both of their singles matches on the week: Katelyn Koll (No. 1), Chelsea Haack (No. 2) and Grace Hollenbeck (No. 4). Those three have a combined singles mark of 26-19, led by the 10-6 record of Haack, a freshman from Columbus, Neb.
- At No. 3 doubles, senior Mikaela Barz and Kjellsen went 2-0 on the week to increase their winning streak to four. Over that time period, they have won by an average score of 8-5. Barz and Kjellsen own the team's top doubles record at 10-6. They are 5-1 in GPAC matches with the only loss coming to their counterparts from Morningside.
- With the three-straight wins, the Concordia women now have the top winning percentage in the GPAC in terms of overall record at .625. Nebraska Wesleyan, who is listed as receiving votes in the national poll, possesses an overall mark of 11-7 (.611).
- With a 9-3 singles record on the week, the Bulldog women improved to 51-43 (.543) in singles play on the season. That mark includes a 21-15 (.583) record in GPAC play. In addition, Concordia went 4-2 in doubles for the week to run their season records to 26-22 overall and 12-6 in the GPAC.
- In a home match against Hastings on April 25, the Bulldog men's only victory came at No. 2 doubles as part of an 8-1 team loss. The combo of Mike McCartney and Joel Kaldahl defeated Kolby Matheny and Leland Dexter of the Broncos by a score of 8-3. McCartney and Kaldahl picked up their first doubles victory in conference play.
- Sophomore Jonathan Douglas continues to carry the team's top singles mark. The Fenton, Mo., native is 7-7 overall while playing at both Nos. 4 and 5 singles. Douglas also holds the team's top doubles mark, along with junior Joe Vanderveld. The duo is 9-5 when working in tandem, including a 2-2 GPAC record.
- Both Concordia men and women will play their final regular-season matches on Tuesday afternoon as rival Doane visits Seward. The women will get started at 1:30 p.m. with the men filling in shortly after as the women's matches finish up. The men are already locked into the No. 5 seed for this weekend's conference tournament.
- Concordia played three doubleheaders in four days between Wednesday and Saturday last week, going 2-4 with single victories over Hastings and Dakota Wesleyan – both by a single run. To read more about last week's games, click HERE. Concordia is now 13-24 overall and 7-11 in GPAC games. The Bulldogs are tied with Briar Cliff for eighth place in the conference.
- The Bulldogs have shown flashes throughout the season of what they can accomplish when they play solid fundamental softball. Concordia gave second-place Morningside its first conference loss of the season on April 14 and also knocked off first-place Hastings, 4-3, on April 24. Head coach Frank Greene's squad nearly pulled off a sweep at Hastings before finally falling 3-2 in extra innings in the second game of the twin bill. However, inconsistency reared its head again throughout the week, leaving the Bulldogs in a fight to reach the GPAC tournament.
- Senior Nicole Mapes has saved her best for the stretch run as her career in a Bulldog uniform winds down. The Greeley, Colo., native has solidified the shortstop position where she has started the last 12 games since converting from the outfield. She extended her hitting streak to six games by notching at least one hit in each game last week. Mapes is 14-for-35 (.400) over her last nine games. In conference games only, Mapes is hitting .371.
- Concordia tallied 10 hits in the second game of the April 27 doubleheader at Dakota Wesleyan, marking the ninth time this season the Bulldogs have reached double figures in hits in a single game. Concordia is 7-2 in those games. The team's season high for hits in a single game is 16, a figure it reached on March 20 in a 17-4 win at Central Christian (Kan.).
- Junior right-handed pitcher Amanda Beeson continues to rack up strikeouts at a rate consistent with the top pitchers in the GPAC. Her 128 strikeouts are second only to 134 of Midland's Sammy Hislop among conference pitchers. Beeson also ranks third in strikeouts per nine innings with 9.22. Last week the Waverly, Neb., native tallied 21 punch outs in 24.2 innings in which she gave up only eight earned runs on 20 hits and seven walks.
- Senior Natalie Svoboda enjoyed a big doubleheader on Saturday as she went 4-for-7 with a home run, a double, three RBIs and three runs. Svoboda's RBI double in the top of the 10th inning of the second game at Dakota Wesleyan proved to be the game winner. The Lincoln native now has at least one hit in four-straight games.
- Greene's squad has not lost a game this season in which it has scored five runs or more in a game. The Bulldogs are 9-0 in such contests. They are 1-21 when scoring fewer than four runs. In addition, Concordia is 5-1 in games in which it does not commit an error and 10-4 when out-hitting its opponent.
- The race for the team batting title will likely come down to freshman Danielle Harstad (.315) and Mapes (.309). They are the only two regulars with batting averages above .300. Catcher Amber Topil boasts a .280 average.
- The Bulldogs conclude the regular season this evening (Tuesday) with a doubleheader versus Nebraska Wesleyan (15-16, 9-9 GPAC). First pitch is set for 5 p.m. Concordia can vault in front of the Prairie Wolves in the GPAC tournament pecking order by taking both games of the doubleheader. Concordia will need to win at least one of the games to have a chance to make this weekend's GPAC tournament, which will be held in Sioux City, Iowa.

Patience, caution pays off for Ohio landowners on gas lease agreements
In eastern Ohio, the big land rush is on, driven by natural gas and oil exploration. The payout for property owners who lease out their land can be huge or pitiful, depending on the terms of the lease.
Ron Carlton of Carlton Tree Farms in Carroll County and his neighbors have been wooed and hounded by landmen, who try to buy up as many land leases as possible in a short time. The intense interest in natural gas exploration has been fueled by the deep lying Marcellus Shale and Utica formations, which experts say could provide enough natural gas for the United States for dozens of years.
Carltons family is used to leasing its land and has done so for at least 40 years. Back then the pay was just $1 to $2 an acre per year for a five-year lease. About 20 years ago, his family leased part of the land so a well could tap into the Clinton formation, but it had too much brine in it and wasnt economically feasible for the company to keep it running. The landmen are now back because new technology is allowing companies to reach the rich Marcellus Shale formation, which lies much deeper below the surface than the Clinton formation.
Carlton, who has 1,700 acres, has been dismayed by how unfair and deceitful some of the natural gas/oil companies or investors have been to landowners. He said they aggressively snatch up as much land as possible and use signing bonuses as incentives. For those who had previous leases of $5 to $15 an acre per year, doubling that lease amount coupled with a signing bonus might sound like a good deal but it really isnt, he said, pointing out that some landowners have been able to negotiate more than $2,000 per acre.
In Carroll County, Carlton said large landowners are being offered much more money per acre than smaller ones. For example, he said one neighbor who has 400 acres was offered $1,000 per acre with 12.5 percent royalty and a nearby neighbor with 100 acres was offered $100 per acre.
The landman promised the smaller landowner what his neighbor had gotten but he hadnt even signed up the large landowner. It was a lie. They will hound you, hound you, hound you, Carlton said.
Another problem is that many land agents are offering easy-to-read, 1990s style leases with rental payments ranging from $5 to $25 per acre, said Dale Arnold, Ohio Farm Bureau Federations (OFBF) director of energy policy. Many residents are signing these agreements, only to find out that the leases could be sold at much higher prices to another developer, he said. In many cases, these simple leases do not address the logistic and environmental issues landowners will encounter when new and much larger directional and horizontal drilling technology comes to their farm.
Tired of watching their neighbors being cheated, Carlton and others joined forces to sell their leases as a group. They hired an attorney in Canton who was an oil and gas lease expert to write up a good lease and represent them in negotiations. The bids went out in early October and a month later, the group had a solid bid of $2,250 per acre per year with a 17.5 percent gross (not net) royalty and numerous protections for water, crop damage, roads, pipelines and well locations. They also set the terms for if the leases are renewed. Carlton said some company leases have a phrase that allow it to renew the lease for $1.
Those company leases are horrendous dont sign them, he said. They have a lot of trickery written into them.Carltons words of advice for landowners considering leasing their land are to wait for several offers because the price will keep going up, consider negotiating as a large group and hire an attorney who is an expert in gas/oil leases and can protect not only the landowner but the land. He also recommended landowners insist that the entire lease be recorded in the county recorders office, noting that some companies are only recording the first and last pages.
If you lose the lease or if the land is subdivided, how will you know if the oil or gas company is treating you right, he said. It makes no sense that they can get away with not recording the whole lease.
Important Questions To Ask
Dale Arnold, OFBFs director of energy policy, said he is fielding dozens of phone calls from landowners who have questions about natural gas and oil leases. He said if you answer yes to any of the questions below, that you need to seek legal guidance or get a more detailed lease agreement that covers new, larger and more complex drilling technology.
1. Are the land agents talking to you about deep wells?
2. Have they mentioned the words shale, Marcellus or Utica?
3. Will there be horizontal or directional drilling?
4. Did they mention seismic testing?
5. Does the company selling the lease have a direct connection with the company doing the drilling?

Zachary Littleton, right, listens to his attorney Jerome Smiley, left, before a bond hearing Jan. 15. Littleton, who accused of killing his pregnant mistress, received a $500,000 bond. (Tony Giberson / Pensacola News Journal)
- Filed Under
A judge granted $500,000 bond Wednesday for a sailor accused of killing his pregnant mistress and dumping her body in Bayou Grande.
Zachary Littleton, 25, a master of arms in the Navy is charged with first-degree murder in the Oct. 31 disappearance and death of Samira Watkins.
Boaters discovered a duffel bag that contained Watkins' body Nov. 3 along the bayou shore. Her face was covered with duct tape from her mouth to her eyes, according to arrest reports.
Circuit Judge Terry Terrell said that while the evidence gathered during the Pensacola Police Department's investigation more than meets the threshold for probable cause to arrest Littleton, the state's case lacks physical evidence like blood, fingerprints or DNA.

Comptroller distributes $707 million in sales tax revenue to local governments; Town of Van Horn up
(AUSTIN) — Texas Comptroller Susan Combs said today that state sales tax revenue in July was $2.34 billion, up 6.3 percent compared to July 2013.
"The growth in sales tax revenues reflected strength in both business and consumer spending," Combs said. "The increase was led by remittances from the construction, services, and oil and natural gas-related sectors, as well as from retail trade and restaurants. Fiscal year-to-date, state sales tax collections are now up 5.3 percent."
Combs will send cities, counties, transit systems and special purpose taxing districts their August local sales tax allocations totaling $706.9 million, up 5.3 percent compared to August 2013.
Van Horn will receive $76,989.76 from the comptroller for July sales tax revenues. Last year, the Town of Van Horn received $53,649.82, which represents a 43.50-percent increase from 2013. In 2013, the Town of Van Horn received $371,822.44. To date, sales tax receipts in 2014 have totaled $428,503.75, or a 15.24-percent increase from 2013.

Especially around Election Day, one hears people repeating that nauseating old platitude, "If you don't vote, don't complain." (Sometimes it's phrased more aggressively, as in, "Don't vote? Shut the -k up.") A lot of people will reflexively agree with this sentiment, since it sounds so high-minded and public-spirited - but let's think about it.
Really? Is dissent a privilege that you earn by participating in the prevailing system, or that you forfeit by refusing to play - even if you consider the system broken or corrupt? One could argue just as sensibly that if you do vote, you're ...

Washington, DC - President Obama was very upset about the Iceland volcano, and he wanted to do something to stop it immediately. The president was smoking some funny cigarettes last night when he had a sudden brainstorm. He decided to drop a hydrogen bomb on the angry volcano, and seal up its crater.
"I was watching TV last night, and I almost broke down in tears." said the silly president. "I saw all these stranded travelers at all these airports, and I knew I had to do something. We have lots of nuclear bombs in the US, so why not use one, and plug up that sucker. I am so smart!" he complimented himself.
Alarmed scientific and military officials warned the president there would be horrific consequences of dropping a hydrogen bomb on a volcano. A bomb would more likely cause a catastrophic chain reaction, and all 37 of Iceland's volcanoes would begin erupting, instantly touching off another Ice Age. Officials put the chances of 'plugging up the volcano' at less than 1000 to 1.
"Oh, so that means we should use 1,000 hydrogen bombs. I guess that's what they mean." said the moron.
President Obama then called the Pentagon and ordered them to drop 10,000 hydrogen bombs on the volcano, just to be sure.
"This is so much fun!" said the silly president. "It's like I'm the president in some Hollywood disaster movie!" he exclaimed. "And if something goes wrong, I can always blame George Bush." He then ran into the Oval Office and lit up some more funny cigarettes.

9th Victim
She was lying in front of him quite and poised, her big beautiful brown eyes were piercing his heart without any joy or fear. Clam and relaxed she appeared as a princess who had abandoned her kingdom of dreams for that one passionate moment which has no definition, for that one unconfessed sin which bears no guilt, for that one act which is free from any expectation. Merged in supreme ecstasy, she waited for that violent storm which would swash away everything on its way, an arrogant moment of seductiveness, disobedient to earthly laws; destroying everything on its way, leaving the seeker with an unexplained, frightful, seductive silence. That silence was radiating on her face reflecting the charm she experienced, the delight she enjoyed and the life she lived before it was enticingly taken away by an artistic murderer.
When guilt of hand is overpowered by the passion of heart that is when a heinous crime becomes a paradisiacal Art. He stood at the corner of the room motionless, admiring the canvas on which he had slayed his latest masterpiece. There wasn't an inch of regret or sorrow in his blood pumping machine, his eyes expressed gratitude and senses were relaxed. The satisfaction on his face was the reward for the craft he had been perfectly executing for last 7 years

Is Lindsay Lohan Anathema to Luxury Hotels?
Though Lindsay Lohan changed her mind about traveling from New York to Los Angeles for a scheduled court appearance, she didn't exactly find the welcome mat thrown out. TMZ says she and her mom, Dina, were rejected by two luxury hotels after attempting to check in early Wednesday morning. The first establishment, Shutters on the Beach in Santa Monica, apparently blacklisted Lindsay in 2007, after an apparent room-trashing incident. The second, Loews Hotel, told her they were full. No word on where the pair eventually ended up. (TMZ)
