Municipal Matters: Six Ways High Yield Is Changing for the Better
Certain trends have helped bring improved liquidity, transparency, and investor breadth to the high-yield muni market.
In Brief
There has been an evolution in the market for high-yield municipal bonds since 2007, as evidenced by changes in the components of the Barclays High Yield Municipal Bond Index:
- The market is now composed of many sizable issuers, when previously there were very few.
- The market value of bonds in the high-yield municipal index has increased substantially.
- More than half of the bonds in the high-yield municipal index were previously investment grade, but now have fallen to below investment grade.
- The weighting of the high-yield municipal index in non-rated bonds has decreased materially.
- The municipal high-yield market has become more liquid and has more daily volatility.
- There is a wider range of bondholders.
- The key takeaway—The high-yield municipal bond market has evolved since 2007 and is now a more active and sizable market for investors who want to take advantage of its relative value.
The high-yield municipal bond market had a rough 2013, with the representative Barclays High Yield Municipal Bond Index losing 5.5% for the year, based on data from Barclays; by comparison, the Barclays Municipal Bond Index (a broader market measure) lost only 2.6%. But since the end of third quarter 2013, the high-yield index has been rebounding. In fact, momentum has picked up in 2014, with a year-to-date return of 5.4% for the high-yield municipal index (through February 28), versus a gain of 3.1% for the broader index.
But this impressive rebound isn't the only reason the high-yield muni market has been in the spotlight of late. It turns out that the high-yield muni club has gained some large new members. Puerto Rico and related issuers were downgraded by the three major rating agencies during the first half of February 2014. As a result, many Puerto Rico issuers have moved from the investment-grade Barclays Municipal Bond Index to the Barclays High Yield Municipal Bond Index. Given how large some of these issuers are, bonds from Puerto Rico will now represent approximately 20% of the market value of the high-yield index, based on data from Barclays.
With this latest development, and many other significant changes in the Barclays High Yield Municipal Bond Index over the past few years, we thought it would be a good opportunity to review the high-yield market through the lens of this widely followed benchmark. Specifically, we'd like to illustrate six significant ways that the index, and by extension the market, has changed since 2007, just prior to the start of the financial crisis.
1) The market is now composed of many sizable issuers, when previously there were very few. There are now 13 obligors or issuers that have more than $1 billion in market value of bonds in the index, compared with just two in 2007, according to Barclays Point. The issuers are certainly more diversified, since the only two in that category in 2007 were American Airlines and Continental Airlines (muni bonds are issued for airlines for purposes such as construction of airport facilities). In addition to the Puerto Rico bonds cited above, the list now includes airlines, tobacco-settlement bonds, Jefferson County (Alabama) sewer bonds, and tax-exempt bonds of the Iowa Fertilizer Co. The top 10 issuers have $28.1 billion in par value outstanding, as of February 28, 2014, compared with $9.4 billion for the top 10 at the end of 2007, according to Barclays Point.
2) The market value of bonds in the high-yield municipal index has increased substantially. The market value of the holdings in the entire high-yield municipal index was $81.9 billion, as of February 28, 2014, compared with $41.6 billion at the end of 2007, according to Barclays Point. The majority of the increase has been due to credit rating downgrades of large issuers (see number 3), but there also have been a good number of sizable new issues.
3) More than half of the bonds in the high-yield municipal index were previously investment grade, but now have fallen to below investment grade. Many of these issues have been actively traded for a number of years and are not new to the overall market. After 2007, the first large set of bonds downgraded was due to weak bond insurers losing their investment-grade ratings; some of the insured bonds did not have underlying ratings of their own. These downgrades were not due to the bonds being below investment grade in most cases but simply that they had only paid for the insured rating and not a rating for the underlying credit. When the bonds were first downgraded, they represented about 20% of the index; but since then, the percentage has fallen to approximately 10%, based on Barclay's data.
Other key developments in this regard include the June 2012 downgrade by Moody's of bonds issued by California Redevelopment Agencies as the state changed the structure of financing for these areas. This had a minor impact on the overall market value of the high-yield municipal index, but the Moody's move still added a whole new group of issuers to the index. Also, tobacco-settlement bonds were downgraded in the fourth quarter of 2011, as the ultimate driver of their underlying revenues, cigarette consumption, continued to fall well below projections. This is a large sector and represented more than 20% of the index after the bonds were downgraded, according to Barclay's data. Finally, the February 2014 Puerto Rico downgrade shifted many bonds associated with the commonwealth into the high-yield muni index.
Each change diluted the impact of the previous large changes, but taken together, they have changed dramatically not only the benchmark but also the market's awareness of the issuers in the high-yield market. Fourteen of the top 15 issuers currently in the index were not in the index in 2007, with Continental Airlines (now called United Airlines) as the only holdover, according to Barclays Point.
4) The weighting of the high-yield municipal index in non-rated bonds has decreased materially. At the end of 2007, 55% of the holdings were not rated by credit rating agencies, while the index is now comprised of 33% non-rated bonds, according to Barclays Point. This is significant because a much larger portion of the high-yield market's credit quality is now tracked by the credit ratings agencies, meaning that much more credit information is available to potential or existing investors in these issuers.
5) The municipal high-yield market has become more liquid and has more daily volatility. With the increased number of large issuers, many dealers make markets each day in their bonds. This means they provide a bid to buy bonds, or an offer to sell bonds, or both. By doing this, bond prices are marked to market more frequently and trading activity increases because dealers are looking to take positions in these bonds. This means that it can be easier to buy or sell, but it also means that there can be more steady pricing volatility because bonds can trade each day rather than a few times a year.
With more active markets, more market participants are following the credit news, so any change in projected credit quality can have an immediate impact upon valuations.
6) There is a wider range of bondholders. In 2007, when bond issues were smaller and many were non-rated offerings that only a small number of market participants followed, many issues only had a small number of bondholders. Today, with all the large issuers in the market and the increased availability of credit information, there are many more buyers. One reason for this was the launch of the Build America Bond (BAB) program in 2009 in response to the financial crisis of 2008–09. This program created a whole new type of municipal bonds that were taxable, and the volume of issuance was large during the two years it existed. This opportunity led many new buyers who typically focused on other asset classes to increase their expertise in analyzing municipal bond issues. These "crossover" buyers have continued to participate in the muni market, including the high-yield segment, even though the BAB program expired in 2011.
With all these factors, today's high-yield municipal bonds are held not only by traditional mutual fund and insurance companies but also by other vehicles, such as taxable total return funds and hedge funds. They have become active buyers, especially during periods of municipal bond fund outflows, like the one witnessed in 2013, and are stepping up to replace retail investors who chose to reduce their exposure to munis.
Summing Up
What should investors take away from all these changes? One at least would be that the high-yield muni market is now characterized by greater liquidity, larger issuers, and more credit rating information, and another that there is broader participation compared with that in 2007. Reviewing the changes within a wider context may lead an investor to conclude that this portion of the municipal bond market presents a more interesting and compelling opportunity for investors than it did in the past.

A Note about Risk: The value of investments in debt securities will fluctuate in response to market movements. When interest rates rise, the prices of debt securities are likely to decline, and when interest rates fall, the prices of debt securities tend to rise. Lower-rated investments may be subject to greater price volatility than higher-rated investments. High-yield securities (sometimes called junk bonds) carry increased risks of price volatility, illiquidity, and the possibility of default in the timely payment of interest and principal. A portion of the income derived from a municipal bond may be subject to the alternative minimum tax. Any capital gains realized may be subject to taxation. Federal, state, and local taxes may apply. There is a risk that a bond issued as tax-exempt may be reclassified by the IRS as taxable, creating taxable rather than tax-exempt income. Bonds may also be subject to other types of risk, such as call, credit, liquidity, interest-rate, and general market risks. Investments in Puerto Rico and other U.S. territories, commonwealths, and possessions may be affected by local, state, and regional factors. These may include, for example, economic or political developments, erosion of the tax base, and the possibility of credit problems. No investing strategy can overcome all market volatility or guarantee future results.
Treasuries are debt securities issued by the U.S. government and secured by its full faith and credit. Income from Treasury securities is exempt from state and local taxes.
The Barclays Municipal Bond Index is a rules-based, market-value-weighted index engineered for the long-term tax-exempt bond market. The index is a broad measure of the municipal bond market with maturities of at least one year. To be included in the index, bonds must be rated investment-grade (Baa3/BBB- or higher) by at least two of the following ratings agencies: Moody's, Standard & Poor's, and Fitch. If only two of the three agencies rate the security, the lower rating is used to determine index eligibility. If only one of the three agencies rates a security, the rating must be investment-grade. Bonds must have an outstanding par value of at least $7 million and be issued as part of a transaction of at least $75 million. The bonds must be fixed rate, have a dated-date after December 31, 1990, and must be at least one year from their maturity date.
The Barclays High Yield Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index consisting of noninvestment-grade, unrated or below Ba1 bonds. The Barclays High Yield Municipal Bond Index is a subset of the Barclays Municipal Bond Index; a rules-based, market-value-weighted index engineered for the long-term tax-exempt bond market.
The credit quality of the securities in a portfolio is assigned by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO), such as Standard & Poor's, Moody's, or Fitch, as an indication of an issuer's creditworthiness. Ratings range from 'AAA' (highest) to 'D' (lowest). Bonds rated 'BBB' or above are considered investment grade. Credit ratings 'BB' and below are lower-rated securities (junk bonds). High-yielding, non-investment-grade bonds (junk bonds) involve higher risks than investment-grade bonds. Adverse conditions may affect the issuer's ability to pay interest and principal on these securities.
Indexes are unmanaged, do not reflect the deduction of fees or expenses, and are not available for direct investment.

Let down by players I trusted: that'll do me
The Sun-Herald
Page Tools
This will now definitely be my last season as NSW coach. I am not a football coach any more and I don't want to be. Some of my players have done the wrong thing and I am filthy.
Two of the players come from my club, the Roosters, and I cannot begin to tell you how much that hurts. With others I knew the risks and, unfortunately, they have lived up to my expectations.
I have never demanded that people show me respect but I am not going to put up with this type of disrespect.
I delivered three simple instructions.
When we go out, we go out together, not in small groups, and we come home together.
No one is to carry a mobile phone.
And when the team captain asked me if the players could go to a hotel in the Kings Cross area I simply said: "No, the only thing we will get there is trouble."
I don't make these decisions for the good of my health. It comes from a life full of hindsight. I have done all these things and made all these mistakes. When I played football, I was into everything that was going.
Maybe in my younger days I could summon the smarts to deal with this situation but I am now 46 years of age and I am sick of pandering to footballers' emotions.
Perhaps this isn't the best time to make such a statement, but I feel compelled to get this off my chest.
I can't remember a time in my coaching career when I have been more disappointed than I am now.
The events of the week have been a gut-wrenching experience for me. I take great pride in my work and in particular the achievements of the NSW State of Origin teams I have coached.
As a coach I have always tried to support my players. I trust them, I always try to find the good in them and at times I have gone above and beyond the call of duty to assist them and protect them. Last year I even took a few bullets for them.
I have never claimed to be any kind of genius and I am not looking for sympathy or pats on the back. I have made plenty of mistakes along the way, but I have always tried to work hard for my players and I have been blessed that so many great players have worked hard for me in return.
On Wednesday word started to filter through about problems with the behaviour of some of our players in the early hours of the morning after our team night out.
This news hit me like a ton of bricks. I had a sickness and anger in my guts that I had never felt before. I could see where this was going to take us. I knew what the media would do to this and the damage it would cause. I tried to remain cool.
In the early stages I found it hard to get all the facts and, to be honest, the truth was hard to come by. Perhaps the lies or the misrepresentations are the things that have hurt me the most.
I went through a strange series of emotions in my head as I tried to fathom how and why this could have happened and what I was going to do about it.
I had plenty of players who had done the right thing and I had a team to prepare for the biggest test rugby league has to offer.
Do I erupt and give it to these stupid, selfish people who put themselves above the rest of the team, or do I temper my anger and try to use the situation to help the team come together and deal with the drama?
I have to admit that in the early stages I chose to do the latter.
Players had led me to believe they were being hard done by and I chose to stand in their corner. I was wrong and I am just glad I did not speak out publicly. As things started to become clearer I found I was distancing myself from the players.
By Thursday morning the only solution I could come up with was to send them home because I needed more time to think. Unfortunately, the more time I have had to think, the angrier I have become.
The ARL has performed an exhaustive investigation into the events of Wednesday, May 19.
Players have been sacked and others have been fined. Reputations have been tarnished and lives have been changed forever.
I believe that based on the information available the ARL management has got it right. It was not supposed to be like this. Origin camps are about taking 17 talented individuals from teams that compete with each other on a weekly basis, and forming them into a team that will play for each other. Talent is not enough to win these games. There has to be a physical, mental and spiritual oneness about your team by the time it takes the field.
It is easier for Queenslanders. We are just wired differently from them. But unless we adopt their psychology and their passion for this contest we most certainly will lose.
This is my eighth season in charge of the NSW Blues.
I have been a part of only one losing series in all that time, so whatever it is we do when we come into these camps, it seems to have been working. When I went to bed around 3.15am on Wednesday I was a very happy man. I spoke to the head of our team security and he informed me that all players were accounted for and that all were safe and sound.
I said to him, "That's great, mate. What a great night."
The whole day had been meticulously planned and well executed. It is always a major concern to me when we plan our now famous State of Origin bonding sessions because I know the dangers and I plan to avoid them. In the current climate in particular I knew we had to get it right.
I also knew that this part of our camp can be a lot of fun for the players and has always been an integral part of helping form relationships and communications.
I had considered doing away with the bonding nights and making it an alcohol-free series, but so many of my past players in Origin told me I would be depriving the players of the best part of Origin and how it would not be Origin without it. They were right, too. This process is important and on this occasion we got it right again. I was so pleased with the way it went and so relieved when we got them all home at the desired hour in good shape.
Now, through the selfishness and stupidity of a few players, our Origin campaign is in tatters.
When we get to training today I will look the players in the eye and tell them how I feel. I will then get on with doing my job.
If they don't want to play for me, that's fine. But they sure as hell had better want to play for NSW.

Context. The HARPS high-resolution high-accuracy spectrograph was made available to the astronomical community in the second half of 2003. Since then, we have been using this instrument for monitoring radial velocities of a large sample of Solar-type stars (1400 stars) in order to search for their possible low-mass companions.
Aims. Amongst the goals of our survey, one is to significantly increase the number of detected extra-solar planets in a volume-limited sample to improve our knowledge of their orbital elements distributions and thus obtain better constraints for planet-formation models.
Methods.Radial-velocities were obtained from high-resolution HARPS spectra via the cross-correlation method. We then searched for Keplerian signals in the obtained radial-velocity data sets. Finally, companions orbiting our sample stars were characterised using the fitted orbital parameters.
Results. In this paper, we present the HARPS radial-velocity data and orbital solutions for 3 Solar-type stars: HD 100777 , HD 190647 , and HD 221287 . The radial-velocity data of HD 100777 is best explained by the presence of a 1.16 planetary companion on a 384-day eccentric orbit (e = 0.36). The orbital fit obtained for the slightly evolved star HD 190647 reveals the presence of a long-period (P = 1038 d) 1.9 planetary companion on a moderately eccentric orbit (e = 0.18). HD 221287 is hosting a 3.1 planet on a 456-day orbit. The shape of this orbit is not very well-constrained because of our non-optimal temporal coverage and because of the presence of abnormally large residuals. We find clues that these large residuals result from spectral line-profile variations probably induced by processes related to stellar activity.
Key words: stars: individual: HD 100777 -- stars: individual: HD 190647 -- stars: individual: HD 221287 -- stars: planetary systems -- techniques: radial velocities

Kate Gosselin Alone: Did Jon Quit Role on Jon and Kate Plus 8?
By Julie Pike
Jun 14, 2009
Did Jon quit his role on Jon and Kate Plus 8 and leave Kate alone? Us Weekly notes that the dad of the popular series on TLC wants out of the show and right now the only thing keeping him on your high definition TV screen is a contract with a whole lot of dollar signs. But if Jon believes he now has enough money to live on his own and pursue other women will he stay? And what if they divorce?
OK! Magazine asks if she and husband Jon Gosselin, 32, were to formally separate, could he conceivably get the kids? "In most custody cases, the mother retains custody," expert Gold says. [But] people could think Kate is behind the need to place the kids in the spotlight."
"Perhaps with Jon not there, she could focus even more on the cameras." Gold also feels Kate's speaking engagements - which kept her away for much of May - are problematic. "Being a stay-at-home dad would help Jon," Gold says. That's not to say he has a slam dunk case for full custody. "He takes a lot of trips without the kids and has been photographed at bars with young women."
The magazine notes that in the event of divorce, Gold predicts a joint-custody arrangement. "It's really going to be interesting how it plays out," she says.

Palmieri On Manny's Cleanup: "I'm Not Going To Wait Any Longer"
Utica, NY (WIBX) – Utica Mayor Robert Palmieri thinks it's been long enough. Utica's Corporation Counsel is asking the Supreme Court to allow the city's DPW to do a full remediation of what's left of Manny's Cheesecake, including asbestos removal.
A fire on August 25th, 2011, reduced Manny's to pile of rubble, which Palmieri says is now an eyesore.
"This has been since August and I'm not going to wait any longer," he said.
If DPW is allowed to do the work, it'll likely cost taxpayers tens-of-thousands of dollars, Palmieri said.
"We're looking at estimates, at this point," saying that he believed there was asbestos at the site, meaning the remediation would cost more.
If the court grants the city's request, cleanup could begin sometime next week, Palmieri said.
"I just want to make sure that whatever we're doing is legal and there are no repercussions down the road."

well, Yay! You are very welcome here. Plus it's fun to see the different experiences of folks around the world.
and i love the look of classic British cars, so thanks for the pics.
When my son was a baby he had a model of a convertible Jag e-type, racing green. (Guess who got it for him.) It was OK until he chewed all the windows off. lol
for a whort time i had an MG B.
Has been this long since I posted in here?
This section seemed appropriate, my mate Ian lost his fight with pancreatic cancer in July.
His passion for everything with 4 wheels was truly outstanding. It seemed that he was more gutted than I when the bB was declared a total loss in December.
Part of him lives on. He has asked me to look after his Sebring Sprite and to take to as many shows as possible, put some miles on her and to have fun.
While this is far from a bB as I can get, I still want another!

Free admission only with Berlin WelcomeCard Museum Island (Attention: Special exhibitions are not included. There may be extra admission charges for other special exhibitions.)
Neues Museum (New Museum)
Neues Museum (New Museum)
6,000 years of human history
Beautifully restored by star architect David Chipperfield, the New Museum opened in October 2009. It now presents the treasures of the Egyptian Museum and the Papyrus Collection along with the collections of the Museum of Pre-History and Early History and parts of the antiquities collection – part of a brand new exhibition offering visitors a fascinating insight into the origins of mankind.
Visitors can discover the history of the ancient world from the Near East to the Atlantic, and from North Africa to Scandinavia, over thousands of years. The development of pre-historical and early Eurasian cultures, from the Palaeolithic period through to the High Middle Ages, is presented in unparalleled breadth and depth.
Renowned archaeological treasures, such as the bust of Nefertiti and the Egyptian Museum's entire collection of Armana Art and papyrus collection, are combined with world-famous exhibits from the Museum of Pre-history and Early History, such as the Le Moustier Neanderthal skull and Heinrich Schliemann's collection of antiquities from Troy, to form a unique panorama of the early history of mankind.
The museum building is remarkable in itself: built to the plans of Friedrich August Stüler in 1841-1859, it has been completely restored since 2003 under British architect David Chipperfield. He anchored the main body of the museum in the architectural idiom of the present day. The result is that the resplendent richness of Stüler's late classicism is now brought into a delightful dialogue with Chipperfield's own strict language of form.
Get your ticket via telephone at +49 (0)30 – 25 00 25 or at the Berlin Tourist Infos.
Admission: 12,00 € /6,00 €
Free admission up to 18 years.

London (Philippine Daily Inquirer/ANN) - The Philippine campaign in the 30th Olympic Games here went off to a prosaic start Friday with the two Filipino archers making it to the lower half of their respective draws in the archery competitions.
Only a few hours before Friday's Opening Ceremonies brought the Olympics to London for the third time, Rachelle Anne Cabral completed a not-so-auspicious kickoff at the Lored's Cricket Grounds by placing 48th in the knockout stage of the women's draw.
That brought up Russia's Inna Stepanova, who ranked No. 17, as the Filipino archer's opponent in the first of the knockout rounds on the individual competition. The round starts on Tuesday.
Cabral finished the first half in 41st place with 318 points and faded in the second half with 309 for a total of 627. That was 44 points adrift of the two Koreans and one Taiwanese who topped the rankings with identical 671 points.
Earlier in the day, Mark Javier, the first Filipino to see action in the Games, finished even lower in rank, 55th in a field of 64. He will face American champion Brady Ellison in the knockout phase also on Tuesday.
The shy and taciturn archer from Dumaguete had what he called an average day at the range, shooting 326 in the first half and 323 in the second half for an aggregate of 649.
Slim hope
The not-so-encouraging start raised the odds even higher against the two Filipinos in the tournament proper, where the lower-ranked archers are ranged against those in the top bracket. But the new tournament format, adopted after the Beijing Olympiad, gives a glimmer of hope to the lower-ranked players and raises the possibility, albeit still remote, of an upset. That's the slim hope that officials of the Philippine delegation are clinging to.
The 27-year-old Cabral, who hails from Tuguegarao, Cagayan, will be up against a Russian with solid credentials. Although ranked 33rd in the last world championship, Stepanova topped the World Cup in Shanghai last year after finishing second a year earlier.
She was also second in the European championships in 2010.
Javier will go up against an even more formidable opponent-the 5-foot-11 Ellison. The American champion is among the top-ranked players in the world. In fact, he is the undisputed champion in the Pan American Games and the World Cup in the last three years.
Upset not impossible
Still, an upset is not impossible.
In the 2004 Olympics in Athens, wild card entry Jasmine Figueroa created the biggest stir in the archery competitions when she upset and eliminated the former world champion from Italy, only to lose a close match in the next round.

Last Chance Foods: Our 2013 Cookbook Gift Guide
At Last Chance Foods, our cup runneth over with cookbooks. It's a large cup, admittedly. And with Christmas less than a week away, these beautiful tomes come in handy as last minute gifts. Here are our picks for some of our favorite cookbooks of the year. We even snagged a few recipes from them for your cooking pleasure.
The A.O.C. Cookbook
by Suzanne Goin
"The recipes are organized by different course — salads, fish, meat, and vegetables — and by season, so it appeals to my producerly sense of order. And while I'm not vegetarian, I like that it has a strong focus on vegetables." —JYW
The Grilling Book: The Definitive Guide from Bon Appétit
by Adam Rapoport
"It made me want to buy a grill. And I haven't done it yet. I'm going to — I got as close as buying a spatula for the grill… I love the design of this book. There's a lot of little how-to sidebars, and Rapoport offers the pros and cons of different methods, like the case for charcoal grilling versus gas grilling… There are a lot of It's so instructive without being condescending." —AE
Japanese Soul Cooking: Ramen, Tonkatsu, Tempura, and More from the Streets and Kitchens of Tokyo and Beyond
by Tadashi Ono and Harris Salat
"So much of Japanese cooking tends to be very precise and pristine. But you know regular families probably aren't eating these elaborate sushi or sashimi presentations at home every night. I feel like Japanese Soul Cooking shows a different side of that culture's cuisine, and has chapters devoted to food like gyoza dumplings and tonkatsu, which is a panko-breaded fried pork cutlets." —JYW
Ivan Ramen: Love, Obsession, and Recipes From Tokyo's Most Unlikely Noodle Joint
by Ivan Orkin and Chris Ying
"It's the memoir portion of the book I enjoy. His writing is like Ivan was in our interview: Fast and sharp and bracing and irreverent. Here's how he writes about realizing that he wanted to move back to Japan and stay there. He was living with a woman in Maine at the time.
Then I had an epiphany. I looked up and said, 'You know what? I don't like Maine and I love Japan. I don't know what the f*** you're talking about, but that's the place I want to be.' No offense to Maine, but it took being there for me to realize how much I wanted to be somewhere else.
It's a great story, one that inspires you to throw all your self-imposed caution to the wind." —AE

KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. – Oregon Tech failed to come up with the big-hit in the opener, as Concordia came up with a three-run eighth inning, taking game 1 by a 9-7 final. Tech, trailing by 10 in the nightcap, pulled to within two runs, but the late-game rally then fell short, as the Cavaliers held on to win 20-18 in the nightcap.
Oregon Tech's season ends with an 11-37 overall mark while going 6-22 in NAIA West play. Concordia improved to 26-18 on the season and 16-12 in NAIA West action.
Tech put four runs on the board in their first at-bat when Domonic Morris led off with a single, later scoring on an Aaron Bocchi grounder to first. A CU throwing error led to another run, with Bryce Asao and Marty Shanks adding a RBI each to power out to a 4-1 lead.
The Cavs returned the four-run favor in the second inning when Drake connected on his second homerun of the game, a grand slam, to put CU up 5-4. Another CU homerun, a Cole Buruse solo shot in the fifth inning, made it a 6-4 game.
Tech would match it with a single run in their half of the fifth to pull to 6-5. Shanks led off the inning with a single moving to third on an Aaron Burke double. Tech would capitalize on a throwing error by the CU shortstop leading to the run.
The Owls would take advantage of the Cavs' fourth error of the game when an errant throw in the infield brought home both Tyson Dahl and Asao, who had back-to-back singles to open the inning, giving Tech a 7-6 lead after six complete.
With neither team scoring in the seventh, CU regained their lead, 9-7, with three runs in the eighth. Adam Taylor highlighted the inning with a two-run single.
In the ninth, Oregon Tech managed to get out of a jam with a 6-4-3 double play, but were unable to plate any runs in their last at-bat, falling in the opener by the same 9-7 score.
Game 2 – A 12-run fourth inning for Concordia propelled the Cavs to a 20-18 win in the nightcap, and sweeping the four-game series on the weekend.
Trailing CU by a 5-0 count, Oregon Tech's Ryan Hayden kept the Owls close, and with one swing made it a 5-4 game on his second inning grand slam. His three-run double, part of Tech's four-run third, gave the Owls an 8-6 lead. Hayden would drive in his ninth RBI on a single in the fourth inning, tying a CCC/NAIA West Grouping record for runs batted in. Meanwhile, the Cavs exploded for 12 runs to go up 18-11 after four complete.
Hayden would tack on his record-setting 10th and 11th RBI with two more on a sixth inning two-run single, as the Owls plated seven runs in the inning to make it a 20-18 contest.
Oregon Tech's Eric Christiansen, in relief, and CU's Brennon Mossholder, who earned his first save, quieted both sides' bats over the final three innings with the game ending by the same 20-18 score.
Ryan Hayden closed out his collegiate career on a high-note as the senior second baseman drove in a career-high and record-setting 11 runs on his four hits in the game. Ethan Schlecht and Colton Minton finished out with three hits and two RBI each. Domonic Morris drove in a run on two hits.
For Concordia, Mike Egmani was 4-for-5 with five RBI in the win. Cole Buruse, Ian Erickson and Adam Taylor added two hits and two RBI each with Ryan McMonigle adding a hit and driving in two runs.

Last month we blogged about a big step forward towards making U.S. government more accessible to its citizens: the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee's approval of the E-Government Reauthorization Act of 2007, which nudges federal government agencies to make their websites more accessible to search engine crawlers. Today, J.L. Needham, who leads Google's work with federal agencies to help Google's crawlers find their web content, is testifying before the committee about Google's work in this area (read his complete testimony here).
While search engines have made connecting to online government resources easier in recent years, certain barriers can still get in citizens' way. "The most common barrier is the search form for a database that asks users to input several fields of information to find what they're looking for," J.L. will say in his testimony. "Our crawlers cannot effectively follow the links to reach behind the search form."
In 2005, Google introduced the Sitemap Protocol, an open standard for web sites that allows search engines to readily identify the location of all pages on the site, including database records lying behind a search form. The standard has been embraced by Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, Ask.com and others. As a result, any government site using this standard can reach Americans through all major search engines.
J.L. will also share Sitemaps success stories, noting that "the Department of Energy's Office of Scientific and Technical Information operates a large database that makes research and development findings available to the public. OSTI developed a Sitemap for its Energy Citations and Information Bridge services in just 12 hours, opening up 2.3 million bibliographic records and full-text documents to crawling by search engines. After its implementation of Sitemaps, OSTI saw a dramatic increase in traffic to its services..."
Our testimony before the Senate coincides with the release of a new report today by the Center for Democracy and Technology and OMB Watch that lists some of the most frustrating federal government-related web searches. This morning's Washington Post has a preview, and we're sure the CDT report will be a topic of conversation at today's hearing.
We hope to post video of J.L.'s testimony later today. Stay tuned.
