It's tough to be optimistic about Las Vegas' economic future. A lack of water, and our everyday divisions, make growth difficult. We can't attract industries that rely heavily on water, and our divisions tend to scare some people away. As a result of these and other problems, it's difficult to see opportunity on the horizon.
"I have a bone to pick with you." Really? Does anyone fail to understand the expression, meaning having a score to settle or an argument to advance?
Methinks many of us — including and especially myself — must have come across this and other expressions and never really bothered to verify them, to discover what they really mean. Sometimes we use incorrect expressions without knowing so; other times we use them correctly but don't know why.
Here are some common terms, which, invariably get used wrong:
Forget the harsh spring winds and the teasing sprinkle of rain that blew through the Meadow City over the weekend.
Janice Yara was the force of nature to behold.
Robertson's senior ace struck out West Las Vegas batters 23 times and allowed just 11 hits combined in a doubleheader sweep Saturday at RHS Field.
The Lady Cardinals won 7-1 and 3-0 to vault over the Lady Dons in the District 2-3A standings.
Saturday's sweep also gave RHS a series win; West Las Vegas had won the first game 11-8 on April 12 at WLV Field.
With the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Outdoor Track and Field Championships looming, several New Mexico Highlands athletes recorded season bests in the Texas Tech Open over the weekend.
"Last tune-up before the RMAC went really well," said Bob DeVries, head coach of the Cowgirl track team.
Jillisa Grant qualified for nationals in the first open 400-meter run of her season, taking the national lead with a time of 53.7.
That was one of several main objectives for DeVries' squad.

The West Las Vegas School district has found a potential buyer for the Maloof building.
The Historic Kiva Theater Group has made an offer on the Old Town building, and the school board has agreed to accept it.
In order to move forward, the deal must now be approved by the the New Mexico Department of Finance and Administration.
West Superintendent Ruben Cordova said the only criterion to sell real estate belonging to a school district is that the bid be higher than the appraised value.

Urban road charging (also called congestion charging or road pricing)
is charging vehicles for the use of roads they drive on. The charges are
designed to reduce traffic congestion (and its associated problems), so
an 'ideal' charging scheme would vary charges according to
location (more expensive in the city centre), time of day (more expensive
at peak) and type of vehicle (more expensive for large and polluting vehicles).
Road charging also raises revenue, which may or may not be ploughed back
into transport (typically public transport) improvements. Urban road charging
can take the following three basic forms: variations, from simple to complex,
are possible on all of them:

McMoRan Exploration (MMR) Takeover Shareholder Lawsuit
McMoRan Exploration (MMR) Buyout Summary
On December 5, 2012, McMoRan Exploration (MMR) board of directors approved its sale to Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. McMoRan Exploration shareholders will receive $14.75 in cash and 1.15 units of a royalty trust for each share they hold. The royalty trust will hold a 5% royalty interest in future production from MMR exploration properties in ultra-deepwater territories. The transaction values MMR at $3.4 billion.
McMoRan Exploration (MMR) Takeover Announcement Raises Questions For MMR Shareholders.
The MMR buyout values each share of MMR stock at $14.75 in cash plus the 1.15 trust unit. Is this fair? A fair question given that at least one wall street analyst set a price target for MMR stock at $21.00 per share.
Has the MMR board of directors breached their fiduciary duties to MMR stockholders by failing to adequately shop McMoRan Exploration before entering into the this deal with Freeport?
Are all parties to the transaction operating at arms length?
McMoRan Exploration (MMR) Buyout Shareholder Lawsuit
We are investigating whether the proposed transaction is fair to McMoRan Exploration (MMR) shareholders. The investigation concerns whether MMR's board of directors' process for consideration of the proposed transaction was adequate, whether MMR is acting in its shareholders' best interests and whether the proposed share price to be paid to MMR shareholders is fair and adequate. If you own the common stock of McMoRan Exploration and if you have information or would like to learn more about these claims, or if you wish to discuss these matters or have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please fill out the contact form on this web page or call Attorney George Pressly at Morgan & Morgan toll free at 1 (800) 631-6234.

Man sought in kidnapping attempt
Santa Ana police seek help in identifying a man suspected of kidnapping and soliciting a child for lewd acts. At about 6:10 a.m. Jan. 24, a 13-year-old girl was walking to school when a man stopped his vehicle and asked her if she needed a ride in the 2700 block of West Segerstrom Avenue. When the girl refused, he got out, forced her into his vehicle and asked her to commit lewd acts, police said. The man did not complete the acts, and the girl was dropped off at McFadden Intermediate School. Police say the man is Hispanic, 35 to 45, with brown eyes, a heavy build, black hair and a receding hairline. He wore silver-rimmed glasses and drove a newer, dark blue, sedan or hatchback. Witnesses are urged to call sex-crime detectives at 714-245-8357 or 855-847-6227 to leave anonymous tips.

Swimming & Diving Begins ACC Championship Action Wednesday
This week's action includes women's swimming and men's and women's diving
Feb. 19, 2013
GREENSBORO, N.C. - The Georgia Tech swimming and diving team heads to Greensboro, N.C. this week to begin the 2013 Atlantic Coast Conference Championships. The meet commences Wednesday, and over the next four days, women's swimming and men's and women's diving will be contested.
Live Coverage
Following this week's action, the men's swimming championships is set for next week in Greensboro.
"We've been preparing for just about two weeks now and I feel we're ready," said head coach Courtney Shealy Hart. "The last time we swam competitively (versus Emory), I really liked the approach our women took. Now after tapering, we'll have to see if that work pays off in the pool."
The women, who have been dealing with some key injuries this season, are looking to build on last year's eighth-place finish at the ACC Championship. They will look to seniors Kate Riley and Alexis Weber in the sprint events, while sophomore Catherine Richards is ranked among the league's leading breaststrokers.
In diving, senior Brandon Makinson has missed much of the season with an injury but is expected to return this week. He got off to hot start, smashing the school record on the 3m board and currently leading the ACC in that event with his score of 422.55. Makinson has medaled in each of the last two ACC Championships, winning silver on the 1m last year and bronze on the 3m in 2011.
Makinson, who holds both the 1m and 3m school records, and fellow senior Chris Khosravi, who holds the school record on the platform, will be competing in their final ACC events.
For the women, freshman Shannon Lumbra has enjoyed a solid debut season and is among the ACC leaders on both springboard events.
A live video stream of event finals will be available from the ACC Digital Network on theACC.com Thursday through Saturday from 7 p.m. until the finish, with Leah Secondo handling play-by-play and Frank Comfort adding analysis.
There is no charge for admission to the 2013 ACC Swimming & Diving Championships. Doors will open at 10 a.m. for the prelims and at 6 p.m. for the finals. Parking is available for $5 on Wednesday and $8 the remaining three days, with a weekly parking pass sold on Wednesday and Thursday for $15.
All championship information including a full event schedule and live results can be found at the official championship website. Fans can also get updates by following along on Twitter at #ACCWSD and @ACCSwimDive.

'It's Time to Go' for Former Hevesi Adviser
This just in: Henry "Hank" Morris, a longtime adviser to ex-New York State Comptroller Alan Hevesi, has been sentenced to up to four years in prison.
Morris pleaded guilty in November to a felony violation of New York's powerful Martin Act in a pay-for-play probe involving the $132.8 billion state Common Retirement Fund, one of the nation's largest pension funds.
Morris and other members of the comptroller's office allegedly sold access to investments from the fund. Click here for the sentencing decision; here, here and here for earlier LB posts on the New York pay-for-play situation.
The investigation was conducted by the New York State Attorney General's office and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Morris is one of eight people, including Hevesi, to plead guilty to criminal charges in the probe. More than $170 million has been returned to the state and the pension fund under agreements secured with more than a dozen firms as part of the probe. Morris himself forfeited $19 million as part of his plea agreement.
At a hearing Thursday, New York State Supreme Court Justice Lewis Stone sentenced Morris to one and one-third years to four years in prison. The judge immediately ordered Morris to begin serving his sentence, denying a request by his lawyer to be allowed to report to prison in a week's time. "No, it's time to go," the judge said.
Morris was handcuffed and led away, saying to his gathered supporters "I love you. I love everybody. Thank you. See you soon."

Overall Experience
Horrible Customer Service
April 06, 2016
Stayed for one night at this Staybridge. We arrived at the hotel early and checked to see if our room was available. We were told that we needed to come back in a few hours. It seemed as if I was bothering her. No acknowledgement of being an IHG member and even any kind of welcome to the property. We returned later and checked in at the desk for our room and once again we were not acknowledged as being part of the loyalty program. The lady barely acknowledged us at all. Sign here, here and here. After we signed the paperwork, she gave us the keys and said the elevator is on the left. No explanation about check out time, if we would need a late checkout, no explanation about the WIFI or free breakfast. No offering of an arrival amenity that you normally receive as a loyalty member. We dealt with two different people at the reception desk, so the rudeness and lack of customer service is not due to one employee. The free breakfast was poor to say the least. I would not recommend this hotel. Stay away.
Excellent hotel!
March 22, 2016
The hotel was clean, neat and very attractive. The front desk staff was very friendly, too! I would have liked the breakfast to be earlier on Saturday, as I had to leave before it opened, but at least I could get coffee and a banana before I left.
Good breakfast
March 22, 2016
Overall immaculate suite and facility. Services were fine, e.g. business center, fitness facility. The breakfast had a wide array of food including omelets, meats, etc. The outdoor seating by the pool was attractive and comfortable.
Great service and accommodations
March 14, 2016
Staff were great. Check-in was fast and friendly. Room was very spacious and comfortable.

UMass Softball Falls To Southern Ilinois, 5-3
March 8, 2002
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Southern Illinois University used five hits in the seventh inning to overcome a, 3-0, deficit and defeat the University of Massachusetts softball team, 5-3, in pool play this evening at the Seminole Classic.
The Minutewomen struck first, scoring three runs in the bottom of the fifth inning. Junior hurler Kaila Holtz (North Vancouver, British Columbia) kicked of the rally with a single through the left side. Sophomore Jamie Cahalan (Mesa, Ariz.) advanced pinch runner KC Budrewicz (Buckland, Mass.) to second on a sacrifice bunt and senior Ashley Bakken (Phoenix, Ariz.) drove her home on a shot over third base. Designated player Nicole Wilson (Gaithersburg, Md.) continued the rally, with a single to left field and junior Emily Robustelli (Stamford, Conn.) brought pinch runner Aisha Franke (Philadelphia, Pa.) home on a base hit to second base. Senior Teri Rooney (Visalia, Calif.) continued the scoring frenzy, driving in Anna Perey (Chino Valley, Ariz.) who had reached base on a fielder's choice.
The Saluki's came back in the top of the sixth inning, loading the bases on back-to-back singles and a UMass error. Holtz worked her way out the jam, forcing a pop up to short stop, a strike out and a weak comebacker to the mound to get out of the inning unscathed.
Southern Illinois came back again in the top of the seventh, scoring five runs on a walk and five hits to take the, 5-3, lead.
The Minutewomen battled back in the bottom of the frame as Bakken drew a walk and moved to second on a Wilson ground out but UMass was unable to plate a runner.
Holtz (3-3) gets the loss as she allowed 10 hits, three walks and struck out four.
UMass drops to 7-5 overall and 1-1 at the Seminole Classic. The Minutewomen close out pool play tomorrow with a noon game against Providence College before beginning bracket play Saturday afternoon.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – Oregon won the women's 4x400 meter and the men's 4xmile relays to cap a sparkling Saturday at the Penn Relays.
The women's 4x400 team went to the lead at the opening gun and never relinquished it in setting a meet record. The team of English Gardner, Chizoba Okodogbe, Laura Roesler and Phyllis Francis won in 3:26.73. That was the fastest time in the NCAA this season and the No. 2 time in school history, as Oregon won the 4x400 meter Penn Relays "Wagon Wheel" for the first time ever.
English Gardner put the Ducks in front with a 52.5 opening leg. Chizoba Okodogbe kept them there with a 52.3 lap and Laura Roesler pushed the lead out to five meters by running a 52.0 third leg. Phyllis Francis then slammed the door with an eye-catching 49.9 anchor leg.
"My teammates did a fantastic job of getting me the lead," said Francis. "When I heard the crowd cheering I knew I had to shift it into another gear and pick up the pace. We just wanted to win, and when they announced that we had broken a record we were all ecstatic. The team did a good job, we worked hard, and for this to be the outcome of the season is just marvelous, it's great.
Jamaica's University of Technology was second in 3:27.73, followed by defending champion Texas A&M in 3:27.85.
The Ducks broke the meet record of 3:27.64 established by Texas in 2004.
The men's 4xmile was just as impressive, winning in 16:17.57.
Freshman Chris Brewer led off in 4:10.9 before the Ducks asserted themselves on Matt Miner's strong second leg. The senior from Ashland, Ore., ripped off an impressive 3:59.9 mile.
From there, the Ducks took it home with freshman Jeramy Elkaim running the third mile in 4:03.6 and senior Mac Fleet closing in 4:03.2. Indiana was second in 16:18.29, with Villanova third in 16:18.53.
"People take the Championship of America races really seriously and so you get out there and just really want to give the crowd what they want and also set your team up," said Miner. "I feel like the crowd gives you momentum but I feel like throughout our whole race we were just building up momentum.
"This is a real good shot to just show what you can do and show the depth of your squad. That's why I love these relays events because they are not only how good is your one individual guy but how good is your squad."
Oregon also won the 4xmile in 2010 with Fleet running.
"It's definitely nice to get back here and get another wheel, especially after my freshman year here after we won two," said Fleet. "I think after yesterday after getting third (in the distance medley relay), it really puts it into perspective how hard it is to win one of these.
"Winning a wheel is special, not many people get to do it. And to be able to get a watch is something in our running careers we'll always be able to look back and say that we won the 4xmile in 2013. That's something we'll never forget. It's that special."
In the women's 4x800 meter relay, the Ducks beat the old meet record, but were clipped by Villanova at the line. The Wildcats won in 8:17.45, with the Ducks' team of Becca Friday, Annie Leblanc, Anne Kesselring and Roesler running 8:17.62. Louisiana State was third in 8:19.43.
The previous Penn Relays record was 8:17.91 by Tennessee in 2009.
Oregon wrapped the day by running a season best in the men's 4x400 meter relay. Texas A&M was first in 3:02.52, followed by St. Augustine's in 3:03.96, Pittsburgh in 3:04.16 and Oregon in 3:06.24. The Ducks ran Kevin Anding, Arthur Delaney, Jack Galpin and Mike Berry.
"One thing my teammate Laura Roesler told me yesterday was that we always do great at home and this is my second home," said Gardner, from nearby Voorhees, N.J. "I just wanted to come out and perform for all the people that come to this great meet every year.
"I definitely feel nothing but love here, especially when I'm going out and feeling nervous about what's going to happen and hearing people shouting my name, telling me to represent for my hometown. It definitely gives you a lot of motivation."

University hospital parking charges and blue badge holders
Parking charges at the University Hospital are due to increase for everyone; staff, visitors, patients keeping appointments and blue badge holders. Everyone is going to have to pay more, that is of course IF you can find a parking bay.
Issues have already been raised about the walking distance from disabled bays to get into the main entrance. Blue badge owners have limited walking ability. What consideration has been given to the distance that blue badge owners will have to walk from their vehicle to the ticket machine, then back again to put the ticket on show in their vehicle before starting the journey to get to their destination.
People are already complaining about the amount of walking inside the hospital. Careful consideration should be given to the planning of ways to charge blue badge holders. The disabled parking area is very large - how many ticket machines are going to be installed. Could there be another method that blue badge users could use rather that using the ticket machines?
Having to walk the distance to a ticket machine defeats the object of having a blue badge.
I agree with that, having
I agree with that, having visited the hospital for the first time last week.
I had to park in the multi storey park and my friend on crutches had to walk the distance to the main entrance, then we had even further to walk around the hospital to the dept required only to be told that the appt. wasn't now needed and she could go home, so another long walk back.
Disabled parking now is getting to be a premium and the amount of times I have tried to find one (for my mother) just to notice that cars without the badges are parked there.
Usually people in a hurry and can't be bothered to park further away and parents with toddlers who also can't walk distances and they are wondering why this nation is becoming obese.
A lot of places now are getting disabled to pay, to which now I am avoiding.
Sounds like you pair have
Sounds like you pair have been having a tough time. Are you both on the mend?
Well Matt, lets just say that
Well Matt, lets just say that this is as good as it gets lol.
I saw the large disabled area however as I was not taking my mother just my neighbour to the hospital, I had to find an alternative as I don't use the blue badge when mother isn't in the car.
I saw where the new A&E dept was as well picking up another neighbour from the hospital, so getting to see it bit by bit.
I do miss the NSRI though lovely old building and I knew those corridors well.

At this stage of revision, I always wish I had another two weeks. Or a month. There's always one…more…problem bit to untangle, that I think would benefit from more time to analyze and think about. And then another, in the next section. However, things are progressing appropriately. The holes are filling in, the once-blurry places are sharpening into focus, and though I'm dealing with some decisions made earlier that I might make differently now, they're working out with some fierce hammering and welding. (Clever ideas. Clever ideas are the ones that seem so shiny! and smart! at the time, and that flow easily in first draft and then…toward the end…reveal themselves to be more clever than good. For instance, the…mumble-mumph. How do you mumble-mumble and mumph-mumph so as to have a crisis *here* that requires characters to appear to have a random emergency giving you-the-writer the opportunity to lay the hook for the string that will later be pulled, so when something (errummph?) is revealed, the reader will feel a connection–yes, there was a foreshadowing but things were so hectic I missed it–and thus the revelation is not a deus ex machina. Though of course all this backstage work IS the writer being the deus ex machina.) Read the rest of this entry »

Don't Let Frosty Get You, Too
The winter has been nice to us so far but we know Mother Nature is not this kind for long! Soon we will be back to the weather of snow on the ground, ice on our cars and wrapping up for the cold like Ralphie's little brother (A Christmas Story)! Although we may not need to wrap up to that extent, we need to make sure we are bundled enough to prevent frostbite. Here are some tips from the staff at Mayo Clinic on how to recognize warning signs of frostbite.
o Redness/pain/prickly/itching sensation on the skin
o White or grayish-yellow skin
o Skin that is unusually firm or waxy feeling
o Numbness
o Cold/burning feeling
o Blistering (severe cases)
As the Mayo Clinic states, someone who has frostbite may not notice it themselves and is often not recognized until someone else points it out because the frozen tissue is numb. If you suspect you or someone you know has frostbite take the following steps to ensure adequate care.
v Make sure there are no signs of hypothermia.
v Get to a warm area ASAP and try not to walk unless it is absolutely necessary.
v Submerge the affected skin into warm - NOT HOT - water. If water is not available, use body heat to warm skin (ex. Putting fingers under armpits).
v Do not rub or massage affected area since this can cause damage to the tissue.
v Do not use any heating devices (stove, fireplace, radiator and heating pad) to warm the skin. This can cause the skin to easily burn.
Remember these actions do not substitute for appropriate medical care and should be followed up by a health care provider! Overall, make sure you bundle before going out into the cold and do not stay out longer than necessary!

JONES TIES SCHOOL RECORD FOR WALKS: Alabama senior first baseman Clay Jones tied the single-game school record with four walks in the Crimson Tide's 10-5 win at SE Louisiana on April 14. The record is shared by many players with Kody Valverde being the last UA player to draw four walks in a game against Mississippi on March 26, 2006.
KINDRED SMACKS FIRST CAREER HOME RUN: Junior DH David Kindred recorded his first career home run for Alabama in the Tide's 10-5 win at SE Louisiana on April 13. The Tuscaloosa native hit a two-run, inside-the-park home run to give Alabama a 4-0 lead in the top of the third inning. Kindred stroked a two-out fly ball to off the wall in right-center and after the right fielder and center fielder collided, he scampered around the bases with a two-run home run. He is believed to be the first player in school history to hit an inside the park home run for his first career home run. It was the first inside the park home run by an Alabama player since Kent Matthes hit an inside the park homer against Troy on Feb. 14, 2007 in Tuscaloosa.
The feat is not so rare in Major League baseball, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Florida Marlins third baseman Emilo Bonafacio hit his first career home run on April 6, 2009, an inside the park home run on opening day against the Washington Nationals. San Francisco Giants shortstop Johnnie LeMaster hit the only inside-the-park home run to be recorded in a first career MLB at-bat on September 2, 1975 off of future Hall of Famer Don Sutton. Jimmy Sheckard hit inside-the-park grand slams in consecutive games on consecutive days in 1901 with the Brooklyn Superbas (later the Brooklyn Dodgers), the only person in Major League Baseball history to do so. Ed Delahanty of the Philadelphia Phillies, on July 13, 1896, hit four home runs in one game (itself a rare feat), two of which were inside-the-park home runs. This event is the only time any homers in a four-homer game have been inside-the-park. Kyle Blanks of the San Diego Padres, with his inside the park homer on August 18, 2009 against the Cubs, became the largest player to hit an inside the park home run, at 285 pounds, and six feet six inches tall. The ball bounced off the center field wall and ricocheted away from the center fielder. Pete Milne hit an inside-the-park grand slam for his only career home run on April 27, 1949. It gave the New York Giants an 11-8 lead over the Brooklyn Dodgers, which was also the final score. Greg Gagne of the Minnesota Twins hit two inside-the-park-homers in one game on October 4, 1986 against the White Sox. Stephen Drew of the Arizona Diamondbacks hit an inside-the-park-homer in a game on April 5, 2010 against Jon Garland of the San Diego Padres, more special because it occurred on the Diamondbacks' Opening Day.
Since 1983, Alabama has hit four inside-the-park home runs. The list includes.
April 10, 1991 Mick Kerns vs. Murray State (grand slam)March 5, 1995 Dustan Mohr vs. Penn StateFeb. 14, 2007 Kent Matthes vs. TroyApril 13, 2010 David Kindred at SE Louisiana
OUTFIELD ASSISTS: Alabama has 11 outfield assists by six different players this season. Booth and Dugas lead the team with three outfield assists. Booth tied the UA single-game record with two assists in the Tide's 6-2 win at College of Charleston on March 5, when he threw out one runner at home and one at third base. Booth shares the record with G.W. Keller (vs. Southern California, 1997), Chad White (at LSU, 2002) and Gabe Scott (at Mississippi, 2004). Alabama outfielders have thrown out seven runners at home plate, two at second base and two runners at third base. In addition, nine of the 11 outfield assists have ended innings. Alabama is second in the SEC with 11 outfield assists this season. Georgia leads the league with 12. LSU and Vanderbilt are tied for third place with seven outfield assists, followed by Tennessee with six. Booth and Dugas are tied for fourth in the SEC with three outfield assists.

Alabama added three runs in the seventh, highlighted by Clay Jones' seventh home run of the season, and scored on in the ninth. Freshman RHP Tucker Hawley earned his first collegiate win with three scoreless innings and a season-high four strikeouts. Junior RHP Nathan Kilcrease, who worked out of a bases-loaded jam in the seventh, picked up his third save.
SAMFORD RECAP: Alabama stranded a season-high 13 base runners in its 7-5 home loss to Samford on April 13. Alabama left the bases loaded in the third and seventh innings to drop its third straight home game. Samford scored in three of the first six innings to take a 6-1 lead. The Bulldogs plated three runs in the sixth to build a five-run lead. Alabama came back with three in the sixth and one in the seventh to close the gap to 6-5. Samford added a run in the eighth to take a 7-5 win. Samford freshman LHP Lex Rutledge notched his seventh save of the year with 2 1/3 innings of relief. He struck out five UA hitters and escaped a bases-loaded jam in the seventh as he got Josh Rutledge on an infield pop up to end the inning. Wayne Miller, Mason Meredith and David Schulze were a combined 9-for-15 with three runs scored and five RBI. They each had three hits apiece. Kelton led Alabama with three hits, while Dugas, Kindred and Miler had two hits each.
LSU SERIES: Alabama leads the all-time series with LSU, 191-150-3, but has struggled against the Tigers in recent memory who have won nine of the last 10 series, including four straight from 2006-2009. The Crimson Tide has not taken a series from the Tigers since 2005 and has not won a series in a Baton Rouge since 1996, losing six straight series (1998, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006 and 2008) at Alex Box Stadium. LSU won three of four meetings last season, including a series win in Tuscaloosa (April 10-12) and an SEC Tournament elimination game (May 21) in Hoover.
Alabama and LSU first met in 1906 and these two long-time SEC rivals will be meeting for the 345th time in the series opener on Friday. Only Mississippi State (373 games) has played more games against Alabama than LSU. Mississippi is third on the list with 327 games played entering the 2010 season. The Tide and Tigers have met every year since 1947. The three ties occurred in 1931 (18-18), 1932 (3-3) and 1962 (4-4).
LSU won the first five meetings between the two schools, sweeping a three-game series in Baton Rouge in 1906 and two-game series in Tuscaloosa in 1907. Alabama's first win came in 1908, with a 3-1 victory in Tuscaloosa. From 1908-21, Alabama won 18 of the 19 games played between the two schools, including a pair of nine-game winning streaks, which is the longest winning streak in series history by either team. In 1967, LSU's Bruce Baudier threw the only recorded seven-inning perfect game against Alabama at Alex Box Stadium. The Tigers won the game 1-0. Baudier is the assistant principal at Teurling's Catholic High School, the home of Alabama center fielder Taylor Dugas.
Alabama closed out to the 1968 season by winning two of three games at LSU, forcing the only one-game playoff in league history to decide the SEC Western Division champion. Alabama beat LSU 1-0 in the one-game playoff in Baton Rouge to advance to the best-of-three series against Florida. Alabama went on to win the 1968 SEC Championship and advanced to the NCAA Regionals in Gastonia, N.C.
Alabama and LSU played three, one-run, extra-inning games in Tuscaloosa in 1986, with the Tigers taking the series. The two teams combined to have more than 20 players selected in the Major League Draft later that summer. UA left-hander Mike Sodders tossed a 1-0 shutout at LSU in 1987. The Crimson Tide posted a 3-1 win in rain-shortened, one-game series in Baton Rouge in 1993. Former Alabama head coach Jim Wells led the Crimson Tide to back-to-back series wins at LSU in 1995 and 1996. It marked the first time since 1977-78 that UA had won two straight series in Alex Box Stadium.
LSU and Alabama were both ranked No. 1 during the 1997 season and the two teams split the six meetings, with LSU beating Alabama for both the national championship (13-6) and SEC regular season championship. Alabama beat LSU 12-2 for the SEC Tournament Championship in Columbus, Ga.
Alabama won four of five games from LSU in 1999, including a two-game sweep of the first NCAA Super Regional in Tuscaloosa. The Tide won 13-6 and 13-5 to advance to the CWS for the third time in four years.
Since 2000, LSU has won nine of the last 10 series. The Tigers won a school-record eight straight games against the Tide from 2000-02.
LSU holds an 81-70-3 series lead in games played in Baton Rouge. This will be Alabama's first-ever visit to the new Alex Box Stadium, which opened in 2009, the original Alex Box Stadium opening in 1947.
Alabama holds a 115-56 series lead in games played in Tuscaloosa. LSU owns an 8-5 lead in games at neutral sites and an 8-7 series lead in postseason games.
UA head coach Mitch Gaspard is 0-8 all-time against LSU, with all eight meetings taking place while he was the head coach at Northwestern State. Gaspard led the Demons to the 2005 NCAA Regional at Alex Box Stadium in Baton Rouge, posting a 1-1 record.
LSU head coach Paul Mainieri is 9-4 (.000) all-time against Alabama. He is 8-3 (.727) as head coach at LSU and was 1-1 while the head coach at Notre Dame. Alabama and Notre Dame split a two-game series at Eck Stadium in South Bend in 1995.
LSU SCOUTING REPORT: LSU (27-6, 8-4 SEC) has had two lengthy winning streaks this season, posting a 12-game winning streak to open the season (Feb. 19-March 9), followed by an eight-game winning streak from March 20-April 2.
The Tigers are hitting .328 (382-for-1,164) with 37 home runs and 260 RBI. LSU averages 8.5 runs and 11.6 hits per game. In SEC play, LSU is hitting .313 (131-for-419) with 10 homers and 87 RBI. In 12 SEC games, LSU averages 7.6 runs and 10.9 hits per game.
LSU is fourth nationally with 19 triples. The Tigers are sixth nationally in winning percentage (.813), 19th in walks (162), 24th in fielding (.975) and 24th in sac flies (19).
Catcher Micah Gibbs is the team's leading hitter with a .407 (50-for-123) batting average with five home runs and 33 RBI. The switch-hitting catcher also leads the Tigers with .429 (21-for-49) average in SEC play this season.
Sophomore outfielder Mikie Mahtook is hitting .361 (43-for-119) with seven homers and 28 RBI in 33 games. Senior outfielder Matt Gaudet leads the team with 11 home runs 39 RBI.
The pitching staff has compiled a 27-6 record with 14 saves and a 4.95 ERA this season. In SEC games, the Tigers are 8-4 with five saves and a 5.94 ERA.
The weekend rotation will consist of junior right-hander Anthony Renaudo, sophomore right-hander Joey Bourgeois and sophomore left-hander Chris Matulis.
Renaudo (4 GS, 1-0, 2.40 ERA) is recovering from an early season injury and has thrown only 15 innings this season. Bourgeois has compiled a 3-1 record and 6.16 ERA in nine starts. Matulis is 5-1 with a 3.82 ERA in seven games, including four starts.
The bullpen is anchored by sophomore right-hander Matty Ott, one of the nation's premier closers. Ott (0-0, 2.45 ERA, 17.2 IP, 19 K) has made 17 appearances this season and leads the SEC with 10 saves.
LSU is also one the league's top defensive teams. The Tigers are fielding .975 in 33 games and have committed only 32 errors. LSU has also turned 27 double plays. LSU catchers have thrown out 11 of 39 base stealers.
NEXT GAME: Alabama and LSU meet in game two of this three-game series on Saturday, April 17, at 7:07 p.m. (CDT).

In a world of harsh chemical peels and laser facials, some of us would like to take a gentler approach to our beauty routine. We don't want to sacrifice effectiveness, but also realize that beauty should be a little less extreme. Thankfully the people at Fleur's "meaning flowers" introduced me to their Gentle Cream ($82) and Mask ($41).
The Gentle Mask and Gentle Cream are formulated with Soothing Floral Bouquet (hence the name!) – composed of four powerful floral extracts that work in synergy to provide anti-inflammatory and soothing results. A perfect solution for sensitive skin, these products work to sooth, decongest, reduce redness, reduced discomfort and provide softness and suppleness.
Their ingredients are exotic, natural, and most importantly - effective!
- Blue Ageratum Extract - anti-inflammatory, antioxidant.
- Elderberry Extract - reduces inflammatory reactions (irritation and tingling). Helps regenerate and moisturize the skin.
- Cistus Flower Extract - soothing, relieves congestion and reduces tingling.
- Lotus Flower Extract - softening
- Allantoin - soothing and softening. Helps generate cell renewal.
- Hazelnut Oil - helps regenerate the skin. Prevents dehydration for suppleness and softness.
- Shea Butter - moisturizing, nourishing.
- Green Pearly Shimmer - helps fade redness optically.
I have been using these items over the last week and I am in love! My skin has felt hydrated and supple! Lately I have been stressed, causing my skin to breakout and a rash (that I get between by eyes- ugh!) to flare up. The worst. After using the Fleur products, I am happy to say that my skin is thankfully back in balance.

Golden Globes 2014 winner Elisabeth Moss flipped the bird to millions of "E! Live from the Red Carpet" viewers Sunday night on the Golden Globes red carpet, and people actually noticed!
Everyone from People magazine to ordinary fans flocked to Twitter to talk about it on Jan. 12., and reaction was mostly positive. " Elisabeth Moss is adorable!" gushed one tweeter. Another posted, "Elizabeth Moss, your middle finger speaks for us all."
Elisabeth Moss Golden Globes: 'Top of the Lake' Actress Gives The Finger to E! Mani-Cam on Live TV
The "Top of the Lake" star and "Mad Men" actress was in the middle of being interviewed by Giuliana Rancic when Rancic asked Moss if she would show off her manicure and rings inside the E! mani-cam manicure display box set up to get crisp, in-focus close-ups of stars' jewelry and fingernails.
"There's something I've always wanted to do," Moss chuckled as she tentatively placed her hand in the box before pulling it back a little. "But I won't."
"Go ahead," prodded the E! host with an innocent smile. "[This is airing] live in 160 countries right now!"
Next came the "adorable" Elisabeth Moss Golden Globes middle finger seen round the world. One cute brunette actress flipped off the E! mani-cam, and the whole world imploded...mostly with giggles, it would seem. (How could Giuliana not have seen that coming?!) Moss quickly flashed her raised middle finger one more time before wrapping up her interview, fairly amused with herself and with Rancic not knowing what to do but laugh.
Elisabeth Moss Golden Globes: After Flipping the Bird, Actress's Speech Gets Bleeped
Moss went on to win Best Actress in a Miniseries later in the evening for "Top of the Lake," and the first words she uttered when she stepped up to the microphone were "Holy sh--t," so there seemed to be a theme going for the decidedly cheeky actress Sunday night.
Were you offended that Moss flipped off the mani-cam on live television and cussed in her acceptance speech, or did you find it totes adorbs like everyone on Twitter? Tell us below!

Yes, there's a lot of discussion on what AMSAT-NA should be doing next on this list. The membership to some extent gets to guide this by how they decide to contribute funding. The membership also gets to actively guide this by choosing how to actively contribute to the work of building new capability. So, you've got both the $$$ and the "sweat-equity" aspects of contributing to the organization. For myself, I'm pondering what I would preceive is a certain lack of focus or direction in AMSAT-NA's mission. It's clear that you can't have lots of different types of projects underway because it fragments the available resources (both intellectual assets as well as funding.) How many is the right number? A related question is what types of activities does AMSAT-NA see itself as taking a primary role, as compared to leaving to other organizations? I think a wonderful example of this is Bob's PCSAT project. Should AMSAT-NA be more on the cutting edge of new technologies, modes, bands, etc., and leave that which has been done before to others? I dunno; that approach might also fragment the $$$ resources too much. louie wa3ymh ---- Via the amsat-bb mailing list at AMSAT.ORG courtesy of AMSAT-NA.

Matt Nesmith
Assistant Professor of Theater - College of Liberal Arts
Professor Nesmith traveled to Germany in July to participate with three UNH Theater students in an intensive three-week program at the International Performing Arts Institute.
Joop Van Den Ende Academy and Stage Entertainment Studios in
Hamburg, Germany, where the performers from IPAI auditioned
and took part in master classes
Kiefersfelden is a small, quaint village in the southern Bavarian Alps, near Germany's border with Austria. It is home to cobblestone sidewalks, centuries-old homes and buildings, fantastic natural beauty, and warm, inviting residents. It is also home to the International Performing Arts Institute (IPAI), a three-week intensive program that brings together student artists who have a passion for musical theatre and opera with professional instructors and master teachers from America and Europe. Over the course of the intensive session, approximately 30 student-artists, each of whom auditioned to be part of the IPAI Company, have the opportunity to hone their craft in individual and ensemble instruction in voice, acting, movement, and dance. In addition, they study life skills, professional aspects of the entertainment industry in Europe, and German language. All of this study culminates in public performances in Kiefersfelden and, more importantly, an opportunity to audition for and participate in master classes with top industry professionals in Hamburg and Munich.
This was my first year as a faculty member and coordinator of musical theatre at IPAI, and I honestly didn't know what to expect going in. I hadn't been to Germany before, and I was traveling with my wife and two small children, so there were a lot of unknowns. However, once we arrived and began to meet and interact with my colleagues and the student-artists, a comfortable yet creatively invigorating routine was established. I taught voice lessons, acting class in the afternoon, and rehearsed scenes and songs for our performances in the evenings. There was an environment of creative freedom, which allowed me to explore my research into the applications of Lessac Kinesensics to musical theatre performance during voice lessons, while challenging myself and my students to take new risks and explore new avenues of realism and truth in their acting during classwork. One truly exciting feature of this experience was the collaborative nature of IPAI, where faculty from all over America came together in Germany to share creative ideas and challenge themselves and the student-artists. In addition, our student artists had the opportunity to work with some of the brightest minds in the European theatre/opera industry, such as opera director Robert Tannenbaum, master clinicians in voice Barbara Daniels and Elizabeth Eaton, opera director Michael Sturm, and casting director Ralf Schaedler of Stage Entertainment in Hamburg. Observing these master teachers and clinicians was an invaluable tool for me as an educator, as I not only found validation in what I'm teaching but new ideas and areas of growth that I am excited to explore.
(l. to r.) UNH students Elise Pratt (junior theatre major) and Kayla Fortin (senior theatre major), professor Matt Nesmith, and UNH student Justin Morin) prior to the final performance of the IPAI season in Kiefersfelden, Germany
I was proud to be joined at IPAI by three UNH Theatre students – Kayla Fortin, Justin Morin, and Elise Pratt. In three short weeks, each of these talented performers grew and matured in ways that I had not expected, and it was an honor to share the experience with them. Nowhere was this growth more evident than in our last week in Germany, which the musical theatre student-artists spent in Hamburg, home of the prestigious Joop van den Ende Academy and Stage Entertainment, Europe's leading producer of Broadway caliber shows. Here, members of the Academy faculty and Ralf Schaedler, casting director for Stage Entertainment, coached and auditioned our student-artists. Several of our company, including our UNH students, had outstanding auditions and were/are being considered for positions in the Academy or future employment in the highly competitive German musical theatre market. I was also able to establish professional relationships with these international artists, which will benefit UNH and my students in the future.
By the end of the intensive experience, I was surprised to find that I didn't want to leave. I had come to love the culture and pace of German life, and more importantly the creative vitality of IPAI. Fortunately I will be returning again next year, and I look forward to forging new artistic relationships and continuing my growth as an artist-educator.
