Editor's note: The Press-Register holds exclusive global rights to reportage of the Masked Observer, a mysterious denizen of the Leisure Class who covers the local Mardi Gras scene.
GOAT ISLAND, Alabama -- Few know how to draw the curtain on Mardi Gras as stylishly as the Knights of Revelry -- after all, they've had 140 years of practice. So the Masked One and his retinue were especially eager to escape the blustery climes on Fat Tuesday and enter Civic Center Central for the knights' reception.
Soon, they were joined by King Felix III, Selwyn Turner IV, and Queen Madeleine Maury Downing, who made a triumphant march to "Pomp and Circumstance"then joined Folly on the stage to receive toasts, doubloons and general adoration from the throng.
Libations flowed freely amid a startling contrast of musical acts. On one hand, Super Funk Fantasy continued its weeks-long run at Carnival sound, filling the void with crowd favorites. While Mardi Gras newcomers Kansas Bible Company cranked up a more esoteric mix for learned-yet-raucous listeners, breaking out such tunes as "Sir Duke"and "Jesus Christ Superstar."
As per tradition, the be-hatted ladies were resplendent in a dazzling array of chapeaux and formidable footwear. Friends seemed especially well-met, perhaps because there were so few hours left to enjoy the season.
The lid was closing. The time was all too glorious and short.
So, naturally, Dark Hallway spent a great deal of time discussing bladders.
The subject isn't completely off base when it comes to Carnival, but the Observer blanched as Hallway buttonholed the merry Folly in mid-swing to ask him all about the silvery globes he was smacking around the dance floor, leaving a few burst remnants here and there.
Overall, Folly was upbeat about his ride in the KOR's "Mayberry" parade, most of which he spent whacking the bladders with gusto on the side of a giant champagne glass. His signature float was duplicated on the stage for the MCA court's entrance.
Order of Myths
When the reception ended, the Masked One and entourage still weren't ready for the long return to their Goat Island retreat. Understandably, in search of even higher times led the Crewe d'Observe to an evening visit to the Country Club of Mobile, where one of the Observer's longtime friends, a Spring Hill gentleman, graciously invited him to join his annual Mardi Gras repast.
Imagine the Observer's surprise, then, to see an abandoned costume draped across one of the ferns at the entrance.
"This can only mean one thing," Hallway said, toeing the glittering discard. "The OOMs are in the house!"
And it was so. Just down the hall, the Order of Myths were merrily celebrating their parade, in which they used their floats and theme from 2013, which was canceled at the last minute because of the threat of rain. That debacle also led to a potable party on Spring Hill.
"We threw all the throws that the rodents hadn't eaten," one masker said, revealing that some of the trinkets were inadvertently left on the floats.
As for light turnout at the parade due to weather woes, another Mythologist took a decisively sunny stance on the subject.
"That's when you can throw to who you want to throw to," he said.
Looking at various pieces of furniture and vases around the club, covered in the damp, discarded garb of jollity, Floral Headpiece -- the Observer's personal secretary -- had to laugh.
"I guess that goes for clothing, as well as beads and MoonPies," she said.
And speaking of MoonPies, the Masked Observer's final column of the 2014 season will include thoughts on Fat Tuesday and the annual Mellow MoonPie Awards, honoring those who managed to stand out during a season of record-breaking revelry.

Why Ukraine Isn't Spooking Markets
by USAA
By Wasif Latif,
Vice President, Equity Investments
The tensions in Ukraine ratcheted up a notch or two late this week when leaders of the nation's Russian-occupied Crimea region said they will hold a vote in 10 days on unilaterally seceding from Ukraine and becoming part of Russia. Given that ethnic Russians are an overwhelming majority of Crimea's population, we don't expect the outcome of that referendum to be a real nail-biter.
Meanwhile, back in the U.S., the White House continues to threaten Moscow with sanctions and the Standard & Poor's 500 index continues to set new records. The large-cap stock index has finished the trading day at all-time highs four times since the crisis in Ukraine ramped up in late February. The S&P 500 is up nearly 6% in the past month despite little positive news at home and the rising possibility of military action on the European Union's eastern doorstep.
Geopolitical situations of this potential magnitude typically weigh heavily on global markets, with nervous investors moving quickly to get risk off the table. With the exception of Russia, where both the stock market and the ruble have seen a double-digit decline this year, however, this has not been the case. So what's different this time around?
We think a big part of the explanation is that the Ukraine situation is developing slowly, so there's no pressing need for market participants to act. By comparison, January's currency troubles in Turkey and several other emerging nations sent an immediate shock through the system and thus triggered a rush for the exit.
Investors are certainly concerned about the hardship on the ground in Ukraine and how the major energy pipelines that connect Russia to Western Europe may be affected. But as long as there's no feeling that an escalation into a wider conflict is imminent, the markets may remain calm. In other words, the markets seem to be giving diplomacy the benefit of the doubt. Of course, volatility could suddenly flare up if it appears that the standoff in Ukraine may not have a near-term political solution.
From a timing standpoint, following closely on the heels of the January currency panic, events in Ukraine might have played into a broader narrative that emerging markets carry too much political risk. By that line of thinking, investors would be better off to focus on developed markets that are safer and more predictable, with stronger corporate governance and less governmental involvement in picking the economic winners and losers.
But the market response to Ukraine is further evidence that, from a risk perspective, emerging nations are no longer lumped together as a group. As they have grown in size, these countries have become more diversified in their economic drivers. Their business cycles and policies have not evolved in a lockstep fashion, and as a result, investors have to take a more granular approach in choosing where they put money to work.
The current underperformance that we are seeing in key emerging-market countries is based on rational economic factors — softer corporate earnings and margins, rising inflation and wages, and the reduced liquidity due to tapering by the Federal Reserve. In this sense, emerging markets are being increasingly judged by the same standards used to value developed markets.
Despite the current subdued conditions, the longer term appeal of select emerging markets remains intact. They are growing faster than the developed world, have less sovereign debt, and have an expanding consumer class. At today's prices, we believe they are less expensive from a valuation perspective, especially when measured against the U.S., where earnings and valuations appear stretched.
Sure, emerging markets can get even cheaper, but we are comfortable with our overweight position. We're looking past the near-term weakness and instead at the greater upside potential that these countries present over the long term.
Regarding Friday's U.S. unemployment report, the numbers came in stronger than expected, which initially lifted markets. But then the longer-term ramifications were taken into account, which led to a selloff. Signs of economic improvement will hasten an end to the Fed's quantitative easing (QE3) program, which will speed up the arrival of higher interest rates. Over the short term, markets are more sensitive to the negative impacts of rising interest rates than they are to the benefits of economic growth.
USAA Investments Managed Portfolio Outlook
Our view of caution toward U.S. equities remains unchanged – we are underweight U.S. large caps and small caps. We are also tactically underweight fixed income. We remain slightly overweight cash in our diversified managed portfolios.
We also are overweight to assets that are positively correlated to inflation expectations. The USAA Real Return Fund also provides potential protection against the risks of long-term inflation.
Emerging markets represent another opportunity. Though they have been hit especially hard recently, we believe that emerging markets remain attractive. They offer both an interesting long-term prospect for growth and compelling valuations. The USAA Emerging Markets Fund offers exposure to stocks in less-developed countries.
As always, we encourage investors to speak with one of our financial advisors, who can help determine which investment vehicles are best suited for you based upon your individual goals, objectives, risk tolerance and time horizon.

No joke, "Captain America" shooting in England
America's greatest comic book hero (sorry Superman, you're the world's greatest), is abandoning his country for England. Well, maybe that's a bit dramatic, but Marvel Studios has made the tough decision to shoot "Captain America: The First Avenger" in London.
A majority of the film takes place during World War II in Europe and in a statement from the studio, Co-President of Marvel Studios, Louis D'Esposito, said, "I actually had location scouts here [Los Angeles] to see what could be done. But it would have required so much visual-effects work and set construction, it didn't make sense. These are tough financial times right now that could pressure us to look at other locations. But we have every intention of shooting the majority of films here."
Starring Chris Evans as the patriotic super soldier, Joe Johnston's "Captain America: The First Avenger" will open nationwide on July 22, 2011.

Gov. Ed Rendell has nominated Thomas Gluck, who is executive deputy secretary in the state Department of Education, to be the next education secretary. He would replace Gerald Zahorchak, who is leaving to become the next superintendent at Allentown School District.
Gluck, 52, of Hampden Township, would serve in the post for the remainder of Rendell's term, which expires in January.
Prior to working in the department, Gluck served as the Democratic executive director of the Senate Education Committee and also held posts at the Milton S. Hershey School and Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education's chancellor's office.
In his prior role, Gluck led the team that compiled the state's application for $400 million in the federal Race to the Top grant competition for school reform. That application failed to win an award in the first round, but the department is refining its roadmap to reform and plans to resubmit the application for Round 2 in June, he said.
Gluck is married to Joan Benso, president and CEO of Pennsylvania Partnerships for Children, a Harrisburg-based children's advocacy group and one of the state's leading proponents for early childhood education.
His nomination will be forwarded to the state Senate for confirmation.

I ran across this on FaceBook today. This woman is in her mid 40's. You wouldn't think it by her stupidity. Tell me what you think?
Wow. The way some people pass the buck is amazing.
Then it was her fault, she needs to quit blaming other people and trying to get sympathy for someting she did to herself and an innocent child. People need to quit giving her the attention she is wanting as well,everyone agreeing with her isnt helping! She sounds crazy to me!
She sounds like a nutcase and I would delete her from my friend list.
Florida ? Maybe she never got out of the house and went to the beach every day? IDK.

County prepares for election lawsuit
Every 10 minutes, Island County Prosecuting Attorney Greg Banks said he gets a new e-mail asking for hundreds of pages of information.
Thursday marks the first court date for Island County and Washingtons 38 other counties as they prepare to defend themselves against allegations levied on behalf of Republican Dino Rossi.
The lawsuit comes in the aftermath of a tumultuous election for the states governor in which, after two recounts, Gov. Christine Gregoire has taken the helm.
Were defending the actions of the county, Banks said. Our position is that the county didnt do anything that was illegal or improper.
The process began on Jan. 3, when lawyers from Seattle-based law firm Davis Wright Trumaine filed a petition in Chelan County Superior Court contesting the Nov. 2 election.
Petitioners believe that the number of illegal votes counted, and the number of valid votes improperly rejected in this election, are so great as to render the true result of the election uncertain and likely unknowable, the petition asserts.
Island county is named specifically in two claims of the lawsuit. The first is that the total number of votes counted is greater than the number of votes cast.
Island County Auditor Suzanne Sinclair said that the county reconciled its votes within 20, which is considered sufficient.
Were concerned, naturally, and we take it seriously, she said. But in terms of details, no, theres nothing (I can say).
Banks also would not discuss the details of the defense that the county is assembling.
Im not going to comment on that yet, he said. Thats going to remain to be seen.
The other claim made against Island County is that the review of provisional ballots was not a uniform process.
Additional counties violated petitioners rights to equal protection of the laws by refusing to correct errors when presented evidence from lawfully registered voters of the respective countys mistakes, according to the petition.
Banks would not comment on what evidence exists against Island County.
I really dont know what their source of their allegations are, he said.
Banks said that Island County ran a clean election. He cited compliments from observers representing both Democrats and Republicans.
If people think that when you have an election and you cast a vote, then its counted, thats not it, its a complex process, he said. But if we discover there was a fraud, its something we would certainly disclose.
Banks said the most difficult aspect of the lawsuit is keeping up with the requests for documents. Lawyers filed a 20-page brief seeking thousands of pages, he said.
Basically, theyre fishing for anything to support their claims, I guess, Banks said. (This is) kind of a strange lawsuit because theyre asking for a remedy on a statewide level, but theyre suing all of the individual counties.

Thirty-six new jobs are coming to Kalamazoo County, as the County Board of Commissioners approved an allocation of Recovery Zone Facility Bonds to enable the expansion of Bell's Brewery in Comstock Township, Michigan.
It will take about 18 months for Bell's Brewery to build its new brew house that when completed will provide 36 new jobs to area residents.
"It is a win for the county to be in the position to take this action. It is a win for us to be able to take advantage of these bonds and create new jobs," Larry Bell, owner of Bell's Brewery, said in a news release.

By PHYLLIS ROSE
Last summer was the "pits" for 13-year-old Emily Fletcher. She didn't mind. In fact, she got to dig around in a pit looking for artifacts at Fort St. Joseph in Niles.
The eighth grader at Galesburg-Augusta Middle School had always wanted to be an archaeologist, so the week she spent at the Fort St. Joseph Archaeological Project (www.wmich.edu/fortstjoseph), a joint project of Western Michigan University and the Fort St. Joseph Museum, gave her some real life experiences in the trenches.
"I learned that there's a difference between archaeologists and treasure hunters," she said. "Treasure hunters don't map where they find things. They just find them and sell them. That destroys the history of whatever that object was. When you are an archaeologist, you have to take notes. You can't just pick something up and put it in the bag because then you don't know where it came from."
During her week at the dig, she found a lot of little bones and beads and a wooden chunk with a nail in it, she said. "We didn't know if the wood was from the fort because they didn't find much wood, because it probably all dissolved … the fort was from the 1600s," she said.
And, despite all the hard work and getting hot and dirty, the teenager still wants to be an archaeologist.
What Fletcher did at the archaeological dig is an example of how summer school doesn't have to mean sitting in a classroom learning out of a book. Area colleges provide a number of fun and educational activities for children of all ages.
Two examples:
Wind energy camp
Kalamazoo Valley Community College (www.kvcc.edu) sponsors a Wind Energy Camp for those between the ages of 12 and 17, said Lauren Beresford, director of operations at the Groves Campus at the M-TEC campus of KVCC. In the three-day camp, teens will be doing some wind speed testing and experimenting with blade design to see which design gets the most power.
"They'll actually be building and taking away a small wind turbine that has a small generator in it," she said. "The plan is to give them a well-rounded view of how these turbines work and what they are all about."
Students will also have time to talk to KVCC's wind turbine academy instructors, learning about various jobs in the wind industry, she said. They also hope to be able to include a tour of the academy area so students can see a big turbine and the blades on the ground.
"We are obviously working on getting some green thought out there in the community," she said. "We felt this was a good way to do that.
"Besides the instruction in wind turbines and green technologies, students will gain camaraderie with others. We're bringing together young people who have an interest in going green and learning about green technologies. And, among other things, it's a fun thing to do."
Two wind energy camps are scheduled for this year. The June 14-16 camp is for ages 12-14 and the July 12-14 camp is for those 15-17, she said. The cost is $135. Each session is limited to a maximum of 20 students.
Camp 911
For children ages 9 to 11, there's Camp 911 at the Kalamazoo Valley Museum (www.kalamazoomuseum.org), which is part of KVCC. Camp 911 is held in cooperation with Life EMS, said Annette Hoppenworth, programs coordinator at the museum. In the one-day camp, students learn about safety, health and CPR.
"Police officers talk about the K9 team," she said. "We usually have an ambulance here that (campers) can tour, and a fire truck. They ride up in the cage and get a full tour of both of those."
This is the third year for Camp 911.
"We get a big response," she said. "It's really wonderful. The kids just really enjoy it and they learn so much."
The camp is free with lunch and snacks provided, she said. Prior registration is required by calling Life EMS at (269) 373-3116. The dates for this year's camps are July 13 and 20 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

It has dawned fine in Gisborne this morning. While forecasts remain uncertain, this part of the north island looks less horrible than much of the country, so we could yet get a decent gander at the transit of Venus today in Tolaga Bay.
I'll be heading out there with about 300 of the delegates to the Transit of Venus Forum any minute now.
The event began last night with a series of welcoming speeches. Sir Peter Gluckman, the chief science adviser to the prime minister, emphasised the importance of the location – "to stand here close to where Maori and Pakeha first made substantive contact" was "highly important", he said, obliging scientists to cast concentrate their minds on New Zealand's history as well as its future.
Sir Peter, who has led the organisation of the forum since the death of its instigator, Sir Paul Callaghan, called for a "genuine dialogue between science and the broader community" about the role of science and technology in New Zealand's future.
A concerted focus on the kind of New Zealand we want two decades hence, he said, "is the best way to honour Paul's contribution, to move our country ahead".
New Zealand, he said, has "insufficiently used its most important talent – our collective thinking ability". Science and scholarship could better help to "move New Zealand ahead", he said. "Not incrementally, but through step changes".
Richard Brooking, chair of the Eastland Community Trust, and Dame Anne Salmond then presented "The Landings" – illustrated accounts of the Maori history of the region, and the arrival of James Cook in 1769.
Dame Anne encouraged the scientists and others gathered in Gisborne to embrace a bit of the Enlightenment spirit – a time "before arts and sciences had divided and disciplines fragmented". Their task, she said, was to summon up every bit of "insight, ingenuity, knowledge and devotion towards peace and prosperity for the people".
The bus will be here any minute. I'll report back later from Tolaga Bay.

Radiation therapy
Radiation therapy uses high-powered x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill cancer cells.
Alternative Names
Cancer cells multiply faster than normal cells in the body. Because radiation is most harmful to quickly growing cells, radiation therapy damages cancer cells more than normal cells. This prevents the cancer cells from growing and dividing, and leads to cell death.
Radiation therapy is used to fight many types of cancer. Sometimes, radiation is the only treatment needed. It may also be used to:
- Shrink a tumor as much as possible before surgery
- Help prevent the cancer from coming back after surgery or chemotherapy
- Relieve symptoms caused by a tumor
- Treat cancers that cannot be removed with surgery
External beam radiation is the most common form. This method carefully aims high-powered x-rays or particles directly at the tumor from outside of the body.
Internal beam radiation is placed inside of your body.
- One method uses radioactive seeds that are placed directly into or near the tumor. This method is called brachytherapy, and is used to treat prostate cancer. It is used less often to treat breast, cervical, lung, and other cancers.
- Another method involves receiving radiation by drinking it, swallowing a pill, or through an IV. Liquid radiation travels throughout your body, seeking out and killing cancer cells. Thyroid cancer and some types of lymphoma may be treated this way.
Radiation therapy can also damage or kill healthy cells. The death of healthy cells can lead to side effects.
These side effects depend on the dose of radiation, and how often you have the therapy. External beam radiation may cause skin changes, such as hair loss, red or burning skin, thinning of skin tissue, or even shedding of the outer layer of skin.
Other side effects depend on the part of body receiving radiation:

Alabama has added some height to its receiving corps in the last couple of years with the signing of 6-foot-4 Raheem Falkins in 2013 and 6-4 Cameron Sims this year. Now, the Crimson Tide is after another super-sized wide-out in the 2015 class.
Alabama this week offered 6-5, 200-pound Glassboro (N.J.) receiver/athlete Juwan Johnson, a four-star prospect ranked as the No. 13 athlete prospect in the nation in the 247Sports Composite.
Johnson, who is being recruited for Alabama by Mario Cristobal and Billy Napier, told 247Sports he has relatives in Alabama and is friends with a 2013 Crimson Tide signee from the Garden State, Anthony Averett.
"They're like an all-star team," he said of Alabama. "It's a great program and a great coaching staff, especially with Nick Saban."
Johnson told Rivals.com that his top five are Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Penn State and Boston College are his top five, and plans to visit State College this weekend.
He told 247Sports, however, that he plans to take an official visit to Alabama along with Ohio State and Michigan.
"Those are the three that I'm set on right now," he told 247Sports, adding that the campus environment and each school's program in his desired major, sports management, would be factors in his decision. "I want to go somewhere where I feel at home."
He can also play defensive back, as seen in these highlights from his sophomore year. Johnson is No. 4:

Grone, Canell for treasurer; Hayes, Petrish for state rep. | Opinion
Whidbey Island voters have some important decisions to make in this primary election.
Two candidates are challenging embattled Island County Treasurer Ana Maria Nunez, a Democrat, including one candidate who came from inside her office.
Wanda Grone was chief deputy treasurer until she filed to unseat her boss and was quickly fired. Christa Canell, a land title and escrow manager, has also thrown in her hat.
Grone and Canell, both Republicans, have focused on criticizing Nunez in their campaigns and claim they could do a better job. We agree.
Over the last several years, under Nunez' leadership, the office has been responsible for a number of errors.
The Clean Water Utility fee collection has been wrong twice; incorrect tax bills went out to Camano Island residents; a large sum of county tax dollars were lost in poor investment decisions; residents have erroneously received foreclosure statements due to treasurer office delays; and a backlog of supplements have yet to be brought current.
It's time to see some fresh leadership in the treasurer's office. If voters want change, they should move Grone and Canell forward in the primary election.
In the race for state representative, position 2, incumbent Dave Hayes faces three challengers — Brien Lillquist, a Republican; Nick Petrish, a Democrat; and David Sponheim, also running as a Democrat.
Hayes has done a good job — perhaps not groundbreaking — in his first term and deserves to move on to the General Election. Hayes, a deputy with the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office, has come up with some important bills that to improve law enforcement in the state.
Petrish, a Mount Vernon resident who earned an endorsement from Island County Democrats, should also move forward. As a Skagit County native, his background in the military and strong support for schools is a good fit for the district.
We look forward to vigorous debates once the primary election is over.

Washington, D.C. -- U.S. Rep. Ann Marie Buerkle introduced her first legislation in Congress in response to a study released Tuesday that fond almost 300 sexual assaults have been reported at Veterans Administration facilities nationwide.
Buerkle sponsored the "Veterans Sexual Assault Prevention Act" with U.S. Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Fla., chairman of the House Committee on Veterans Affairs. Buerkle chairs the subcommittee that oversees veterans' health issues.
The Government Accountability Office said Tuesday that 284 sexual assaults, including 67 alleged rapes, were reported at VA facilities between 2007 and 2010. Buerkle's bill would require the VA to develop a comprehensive policy for reporting and tracking sexual assaults.

HEALTH Summer is coming on fast, so it's time to plan how you will keep your dog safe and healthy through the lazy, carefree, warm days.
NUTRITION With the wide variety of food at Thanksgiving dinner, chances are you'll want to give your dog something special, too. If you're contemplating what to feed your dog for the holiday, here is a guide to a great Canine Thanksgiving Feast.
DOG HEALTH So you have your new puppy picked out. There are quite a few shots, treatments and examinations that will keep the newest member of your family healthy.
DOG FUN Walking your dog is not only crucial to keeping him healthy and happy, it strengthens the bond between your canine friend and his caregiver. There are a lot of obstacles out there. Don't forget these simple tips to keep your walk fun and safe in the outside world.
HEALTH The same techniques that physiotherapists use to treat a variety of injuries and conditions in humans have been adapted to suit animals with great success. Family pets, show dogs, and working dogs can all benefit greatly from physiotherapy. Dogs whose activities involve a lot of agility are especially susceptible to the types of problems that physiotherapy can address.
FIRST TIME OWNERSBringing a dog into your family is a decision where many people don't realize it's magnitude until after they have the dog. There are a number of things that you need to research before you decide to purchase a dog, and it starts right in your own home.
HEALTH Many believe that a dog and a new baby cannot happily coexist, so therefore the dog has to go. This is not necessarily the case. A new baby does not mean you have to abandon your dog.
DOG TRAINING It's not enough to simply walk the dog through the front door and hope he will acclimate to his new surroundings; you have to teach him how to interact with the new people and items in his environment.

Having just missed out on the University of Connecticut head coaching job, Mark Whipple is reportedly heading back to the NFL.
The former University of Massachusetts coach, who brought the Minutemen to the 1998 NCAA Division I-AA title, has been hired as quarterbacks coach for the Cleveland Browns, according to ESPN and other reports.
Whipple could not be reached for comment on his cell phone Monday.
The 53-year-old coach spent last year as offensive coordinator at the University of Miami. When head coach Randy Shannon was let go, Whipple was not retained.
He was a finalist at UConn, and widely reported to be the frontrunner. The Big East school wound up hiring former Syracuse coach and Dallas Cowboys assistant Paul Pasqualoni instead.
Whipple said he still expected to coach in 2011.
Whipple coached at three colleges, most recently UMass from 1998-2003. He then went to the staff of the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he was widely credited for developing Ben Roethlisberger, and later the Philadelphia Eagles.
At Cleveland, Whipple will work for first-year coach Pat Shurmur, who has indicated he will call the offensive plays. Whipple's hiring means the Browns will likely not have an offensive coordinator on staff.

The No. 4 Alabama softball made it look easy once more before it faces its first ranked opponent of the season tonight and Sunday.
The Crimson Tide jumped on New Mexico for six first-inning runs and needed just five innings to take care of the Lobos, 9-1, at the second day of the Hillenbrand Invitational. It's the eighth win in eight tries for Alabama, which has won all of its games by at least six runs.
Freshman Sydney Littlejohn won her second game in as many days to move to 3-0. She went all five innings and allowed just three hits. The run she surrendered in the first inning was not earned.
Center fielder Haylie McCleney hit her third home run of the season to tie the score, 1-1. Alabama followed with five more runs in the first, as second baseman Kaila Hunt hit an RBI double and a key throwing error enabled the rest to cross the plate.
Shortstop Danae Hays hit her fifth home run of the season and left fielder Kallie Case hit the first of her career, a two-run shot in Alabama's three-run third inning.
Alabama plays No. 24 Arizona tonight at 7 p.m. and Sunday at noon.

(May 2, 2013) The driver of a pickup truck that careened across Hooper Farm Road, broke through a fence, narrowly missed a house, and collided with a tree on Tuesday was uninjured by the impact.
It was just the first of several incidents, including two more motor-vehicle crashes and a small house fire in Tom Nevers, that required responses from Nantucket's public-safety agencies in the span of just a few hours on Tuesday.

It was such a simple play – hit the open man – but one few superstars make, especially in the middle of a hot shooting streak, in the waning moments of an NBA Finals game.
LeBron James could have dribbled past his defender, could have bruised his way to the basket, could have challenged San Antonio Spurs big man Tim Duncan at the rim. But in James' mind – the greatest basketball brain on the planet – hitting Chris Bosh in the right corner would result in a better shot. We crow a lot about James' forming legacy, debate every cramp he suffers and every mistake he commits, but if we want to get to the root of who he has become, we should scream about this: He has never been afraid of risking his own reputation to find a teammate wide open in the corner, and his confidence has never wavered less than it does now.
Bosh drilled the jumper. Talented teammates matter so much, but these Miami Heat rely so heavily on James now, his relentless brilliance, the way he can dominate a third quarter with scoring, defend Tony Parker perfectly on a critical play, and then progress into facilitator mode just when he needs to, just when his team needs him to, for a 98-96 victory that evened the NBA Finals at 1-1.
Nowhere on earth does there stand a more complete basketball player, nor a more cerebral one, nor one more completely at peace with who he has always wanted to be. Find the open man. It sounds so easy. But if you were LeBron James, if you heard so much criticism after every setback, if you held more talent than anyone in the world, including every one of your teammates, sometimes wouldn't you feel like doing things yourself?
For a while, he did. The Heat seemed out of sync, almost, not their usual ball-moving selves. They needed a heroic performance from their superstar. And so James did what the game required; he dominated inside during the second quarter, then drained a barrage of jump shots to keep Miami close during the third. He looked like the basket-fiending assassin some misguided folks have always wanted him to become. But the scariest killers keep their wits when chaos arrives, and so LeBron drove to the middle with his eyes surveying the court, just like always.
We projected mental fragility onto him years ago, and maybe we were right. Maybe he needed to mature, grow more comfortable with himself, find new ways to block out all the ceaseless noise. He attended "Maleficent" by himself Saturday night, took in a yoga class at the Heat's hotel on the morning of Game 2. Imagine the three other yoga class participants, waiting to start a procession of downward dogs when the world's best basketball player – in town for the NBA Finals – walked through the door. For so many years we wanted to bend James into Michael Jordan, but not everyone likes to seethe before competition. Some folks need to breathe, relax, say Namaste to a group of strangers who must have been so surprised to stretch in the presence of royalty. James' evolution involved discovering what approach works best for him.
He has also made so many on-court changes. The outside jumper, inside pounding, off-ball movement, none of it happened in Cleveland, not to this extent. This is a man who works at his craft, who has added layers to his game out of necessity. This is also a man who listens to his coach, Erik Spoelstra, who deserves more credit than he will ever receive for helping James reach his potential. In the early days, James and Dwyane Wade struggled to co-exist. But Wade took a step back, Spoelstra scrapped most of what he knew about conventional offense, and now there is never a doubt: This team belongs to LeBron and nobody else.
There is no promise this will work for a third straight year. The Spurs were so close last season, and they might be better now. They had Miami on the ropes Sunday, even with James so brilliant en route to 35 points and 10 rebounds. But that pass, to the corner, to Bosh, who had just missed a similar look on the previous possession, helps to explain why James can live with no regrets. Forget the noise now. Forget the critics. The world's greatest basketball player will make the right play and live with whatever happens next.

MIAMI -- Andy Dirks chose rest over playing winter ball this past offseason. It was a decision he doesn't regret, but he's not sure he'll make the same choice again this winter.
Dirks said Sunday that he's thinking about playing in the Dominican Winter League after the major league season is over, but doesn't plan to make a final decision until the offseason.
"I'll definitely consider it," Dirks said. "It's an option. But I haven't thought about it a whole lot."
Dirks, 27, has spent two seasons in the Dominican league, splitting time between Leones del Escogido and Toros del Este. He was asked to return last winter, but decided to decline the invitation and rest at the urging of the Tigers manager Jim Leyland.
"My body needed the rest," Dirks said. "I needed a mental break as much as anything."
Dirks, who missed nearly two months with a hamstring and a sore Achilles tendon last year, began an offseason workout program last winter, aimed at strengthening his heel.
He got off to a slow start this season, batting .243 in 78 games, but he's blossomed as of late, hitting .283 with a .758 OPS since the All-Star break.
"The more you play, the better you get -- that's what I've always been a believer in," Dirks said.
Dirks became a fan favorite in the Dominican due to his knack for clutch hits, including winning hits in Game 9 of the league finals and in a Caribbean Series game against Venezuela.
If he commits to a team this offseason, he will likely return in late December. He'd also be the only player on the Tigers' 40-man roster who is expected to play winter ball this offseason.
"He's one guy that may end up playing later on in the year in the winter after he gets some rest," assistant general manager Al Avila said on Sunday.
As it stands today, highly touted catching prospect James McCann and first baseman Jordan Lennerton are the Tigers' top two prospects committed to a winter ball team.
Neither player is on the Tigers' 40-man roster, but they could receive a non-roster major league spring training invitation next year. Neither prospect is considered a candidate to earn a spot on the Tigers' 25-man roster out of spring.
McCann will play for Leones del Escogido in the Dominican Winter League and Lennerton will play for Leones de Ponce in the Puerto Rico Winter League.
The Dominican and Puerto Rico winter leagues start in mid-October and both are scheduled to run through late January.
As of now, Tigers top prospect Nick Castellanos isn't expected to play winter ball this offseason.

Centre-forward Playing career
1971-1976 Height
5' 11" Born
London, 7th January 1950
Built like a middle-weight boxer, he was a brash and colourful centre-forward who lived for hitting the ball into the back of the net. His style of play meant excitement, crashing goals from all distances and all angles.
He had devastating pace, packed a mighty shot and was deceptively good in the air too. Possessing verve and confidence, Macdonald arrived on Tyneside for a record fee after bagging 58 goals for Luton.
At once the Cockney was taken to by the Gallowgate faithful, striking a headlining hat-trick on his home debut against Liverpool. A huge personality in the region for five years, both on and off the field, Macdonald departed after several publicised disagreements with new manager Gordon Lee.
He continued to find the net at Highbury, claiming 57 goals for Arsenal before a knee complaint early in the 1978-79 season caused problems, an injury that forced his retirement at only 28 years of age.
Macdonald was the First Division's leading goalpoacher in 1974-75 (21 goals) and 1976-77 (25 goals), while he once hit five goals for England at Wembley against Cyprus in 1975 to equal an international scoring record.
On retirement from playing, he looked like developing into a fine manager at Fulham before a series of personal problems led to Macdonald's departure from the game.
After running several pubs in the north and south, as well as working in the media, Malcolm, always thoughtful and articulate, moved to Milan in 1991 where he was employed in sporting telecommunications.
For a period he was also a football agent, assisting in bringing Brazilian, Mirandinha to Gallowgate. In 1996 he was seen on the after-dinner circuit as a personality speaker, as well as becoming a local radio commentator and columnist in the north east.

The Battle at Bethpage II will take place this Saturday, April 14 at 2 p.m. at Bethpage High School.
UMass comes into the game undefeated and as the No. 2 team in the country. The Minutemen's fast-paced offense makes them one of the highest scoring teams in lacrosse. Drexel has lingered around the Top 20 in both the Nike/Inside Lacrosse Media Poll and USILA Coaches Poll all season. The hard-luck Dragons have lost six games this season, every one of them coming against ranked opponents. Five of their losses have been one-goal heartbreakers.
This pivotal contest promises plenty of drama as these teams vie for supremacy in the highly competitive CAA conference and battle for a potential spot in the NCAA Tournament. The game will feature two of the nation's finest teams, with coaches from two of the nation's strongest lacrosse regions: UMass Coach Greg Cannella from Long Island (Lynbrook) and coach Brian Voelker from Baltimore. In addition, both coaches and players from each team will take part in a youth lacrosse clinic at Bethpage High School on Friday, April 13 at 4 p.m.
Tickets will be sold all this week from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Bethpage Administration Building and at your local Modell's Sporting Goods store. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for kids 12 and under.
A limited number of tickets will be sold the day of the event. For more information, please call (516) 644-4005.

It may have been the first rain delay in the eight-year history of the Unity Christian Music Festival.
A brief storm stopped the music for 35 minutes Wednesday at Heritage Landing, during the music set of the Christian pop-rock band Stellar Kart.
But the "Day Zero" free music event picked right up where it left off and completed its regular schedule before an estimated crowd of nearly 8,000. About 8,000 attended the first Day Zero in 2007.
Festival director Kevin Newton had wisely taken to the stage at 7:45 p.m. and warned the crowd that a brief storm was coming in 10 or 12 minutes. He advised them to wait in their cars or under the cover of tents until it passed.
Fifteen minutes later, a hard rain came, but it finished rather quickly, and Stellar Kart picked up where they left off. There was even some early evening sunshine, and an accompanying rainbow.
Headliner Pillar rocked the main stage, with the thumping of drummer Lester Estelle pulsating on the band's Christian rock hits such as "Reckless Youth" and "For The Love of The Game."
Lead singer Rob Beckley and the band also went "old school" by fashioning a medley of some of their older material -- all the way back to their 2001 debut album "Above."
Beckley reiterated the band's theme of passionate faith, saying "it's about leaving here more passionate than when you came."
Earlier, evangelist/author David Nassar spoke to the Hertiage Landing crowd, challenging them with the claims of the Christian faith. "Truth is not a philosophy, it is a person," he said of Jesus as savior of humankind.
Stellar Kart performed several songs from its current "Expect the Impossible" release, including the declarative "Jesus Loves You" as well as the raucous "The Right One."
They also had the benefit of a rainy "intermission."
The GRITS duo of "Bonafied" and "Coffee" delivered on their intention to "bring some real hip-hop in here," taking the stage with their "Tennessee Bwoyz" theme and dishing out several other musical ventures. They did their best crowd sing-along with the luscious "Ooh Aah" and even offered a bit of choreography to accompany it.
Opening the evening was the Muskegon area band, The Fabulous, featuring lead singer A.J. Van Boxel, 19, of Fremont. The band performed each of the five tunes on its new EP, "No Promise."
Attendance: Near 8,000.
Band: The Fabulous
Number of songs: Seven songs in 31 minutes.
High point: Their set-closing "Right Now" from their new EP "No Paradise."
Low point: The burden of being a relatively unknown band opening for a slate of national artists. The West Michigan Christian and Providence Christian graduates are based in Grand Rapids.
Band: GRITS
Number of songs: 11 songs in 48 minutes.
High point: The hip-hop grooves of "Hittin' Curves' and "Here We Go."
Low point: Teron "Bonafied" Carter and Stacy "Coffee" Jones spent a bit too much time tossing water bottles and T-shirts into the crowd. It's fun, but let's get to the music, guys.
Band: Stellar Kart
Number of songs: 11 songs in 50 minutes
High point: Bass guitarist Brian Calcara's jaunt into the crowd -- instrument and all -- during their tune "Spending Time."
Surprise selection: The song "Letters," dedicated to members of the military serving overseas.
Speaker: David Nassar
Stage time: 39 minutes.
Synopsis: Nassar humoursly shared his biographical story of fleeing with his family to the U.S. from Iran and eventually accepting the Christian faith.
Stage quip: "It's not about emotion, it's about devotion."
Band: Pillar
Number of songs: 14 songs in 84 minutes.
High point: The lightning fast guitar work of Noah Henson on tunes such as "Frontline" and "Bring Me Down."
What they didn't play: Their rather tame but melodic ballad, "Wherever the Wind Blows," which had wide radio exposure and may be their best known song.
Encore: Their cover of the U2 standard, "Sunday, Bloody Sunday."

Merkley, a member of the Senate health and education panel charged with rewriting the much-maligned federal No Child Left Behind law, heard testimony from 14 diverse Oregonians during a formal Senate hearing held in a Portland elementary school gym.
They delivered three main points:
- Make effective teaching -- and the training and collaboration that help teachers accomplish that -- the central focus.
- Modify the testing requirements so that results help improve what happens in class, not just eat up time without producing relevant information.
- End the punitive nature of the law, particularly the requirements for low-income schools with achievement problems to spend money on private tutors who may have weak qualifications and to let students transfer to other schools.
"Help us by providing... time for teachers to work in professional learning communities... We know this works," testified Mary Cadez, assistant superintendent of Salem-Keizer schools.
Despite tense budget troubles, her district is paying for teacher coaches, time for teachers to collaborate, intensive mentoring for new teachers and upgraded teacher evaluations because they have delivered results, she said.
A few years ago, 40 percent of Salem's new teachers quit after their first year. This year none did, except those laid off against their wishes due to budget cuts, said Rachael Harms, the district's professional development coordinator. Student achievement is rising dramatically, Cadez said.
The No Child Left Behind law calls for schools to offer transfers and free private tutoring, rather than upgrade teacher training, mentoring and evaluation, as a first step when schools that serve a concentration of low-income students repeatedly fail to hit targets for their reading and math test scores.
The law, crafted by influential lawmakers from both parties and signed by then President George Bush in 2001, represented a huge upturn in the federal government's role in public schools and has remained in effect years past the time when it was eligible to be rewritten.
Merkley arranged and attended Friday's hearing because bipartisan talks on how to change the main federal law governing K-12 education are already underway and he was optimistic the 46-year-old law, known formally as the Elementary and Secondary Education Act but dubbed the "No Child Left Behind" act in its current incarnation, would be reauthorized during 2011.
Now, however, the bitter partisanship clogging up even minor action in the U.S. Senate has him thinking the chances of the law being redone this year are "50-50 at best," he said Friday.
New federal ratings for Oregon schools, required by the law, are due out August 2. A record number of schools -- 77 -- were hit with sanctions last year, including Roosevelt and Jefferson high schools in Portland.
Despite widespread sniping about the law among educators, in Oregon and nationwide, several educators and advocates praised aspects of the law during Friday's hearing, particularly the law's insistence on reporting each school's results not just overall but also with traditionally underperforming groups of students including minorities, those learning English as a second language and those with disabilities.paid a lot more attention to their poor results for limited English students and those in special education.
That was a difficult, but ultimately productive, step for many schools, said Don Grotting, whose track record getting high achievement among Latino students when he was superintendent of Nyssa schools led to his selection as superintendent of David Douglas schools in east Portland, the eighth-biggest district in the metro area, a year ago.
But it's time to fine-tune the law's provisions, he and other educators testified.
"While we are setting the bar too high for some students, I would also maintain we have not set the bar high enough for other students, and they are not being challenged to reach their potential," Grotting said.

5th Ave's 'Peter Pan' is for the child in us all
by Deborah Stone
The new national tour of "Peter Pan" has come to the 5th Ave. Theatre, just in time for the holidays. This beloved musical, based on James M. Barrie's classic tale, stars former Oympic champion gymnast-turned-actress Cathy Rigby as Peter Pan. Rigby previously starred in the role on Broadway where she was nominated for a Tony Award. She then toured with the show in 1990/91.
Rigby makes a wonderful Pan with her throaty, cackling laughter and elfin-like appearance. She's an urchin who embodies the spirit of childhood and gleefully seeks mischief and adventure. When she flies, she truly soars through the air with reckless abandonment, causing gasps of awe and wonder. Audiences of all ages will delight in the magic of this show as they fly with Wendy (Elisa Sagardia), John (Michael La Volpe) and Michael (Paul Tiesler) Darling to Neverland where they encounter pirates, lost boys, Indians, mermaids, a ticking corocodile and a fairy with a mind of her own. The ruthless and cruel Captain Hook is played with a combination of juicy menace and humor by Paul Schoeffler, and Michael Nostrand, as Smee, is his bumbling and fawning first mate.
The production stays true to Barrie's timeless tale and is not shy in its presentation of the darker themes of abandonment and lost innocence. A tight and together ensemble of talented actors who can sing, dance and act with high energy, combined with John Iacovelli's terrific sets and a musical score of memorable classics, make for one enchanting evening which will renew one's belief in the "happily ever after." "Peter Pan" runs through December 21st. For ticket information call 292-ARTS.
