If it weren't for a MySpace message three years ago, singer Aluna Francis and producer George Reid might never have joined to form AlunaGeorge.
"I sent Aluna's old band a message on MySpace, asking if they'd let me do a remix for them. I was just looking for things to do, to be honest," Reid says. "They liked what I did, and beyond that, it was sort of suggested that we should write together."
The two musicians met, hoping to generate material for Francis' band. Instead, they found that they had a chemistry all their own. In the last year, the electro-soul duo has become a powerhouse of the outdoor festival circuit and was ranked second on the BBC's Sound of 2013 list — all before even releasing an album.
Francis and Reid spoke with NPR's Jacki Lyden about their full-length debut, Body Music.
Interview Highlights
On listening to Massive Attack and Portishead as kids
Francis: "They had a huge impact. They were pretty much pop music at the time."
Reid: "I guess it's because it was all in the U.K.; we got exposed to a lot of it when we were younger. And it had such a — this a horrible thing to say — but, like, an otherworldly quality to it. It had all these amazing samples that were put in this new light. And it was hearing that alongside stuff like Air and Bjork, listening to that kind of music when I was a teenager, [that made me say,] 'How do they do that? I want to learn that.' "
On learning from other big-voiced singers
Francis: "I am often on the lookout for inspiring vocals, and I think the thing that inspires me most about a female vocal is if I can really feel their character coming through. Obviously, that was something that really happened when you were listening to Amy Winehouse. But artists like PJ Harvey, The Knife, CocoRosie, Robyn — I love all those quite honest voices where you get a lot of character behind the voice. It's not just about powerful or sultry or those kind of elements. I like something to be striking and interesting, and that's what inspires me."
On covering Montell Jordan's "This Is How We Do It"
Reid: "Well, we both adored the song. And because we were doing some festivals last year, and this year we're doing loads of them — this is all without us having an album out — so we're expecting a lot of people to listen to an awful lot of songs that they've never heard before. It was a case of having something that people would recognize in our set."
Francis: "A feel-good anthem that we could make our own."
It's time now for music.
ALUNAGEORGE: (Singing) You can't say that I'm going no where, 'cause you don't know where I'm coming from.
LYDEN: That's "Your Drums, Your Love," a single that climbed the UK Charts by the British Duo AlunaGeorge. Their debut album, "Body Music," comes out tomorrow. Separately, these young 20-somethings are Aluna Francis on vocals and George Reid on beats. We've got them both in the studio.
ALUNA FRANCIS: Hi.
GEORGE REID: Hi.
LYDEN: Oh, we're so glad to have you here. This has been really great fun listening to your music. So how did Aluna Francis and George Reid become AlunaGeorge?
REID: Well, a little over three years ago, I sent Aluna's old band a message on MySpace, asking if they'd let me do a remix for them. I was just looking for things to do, to be honest, and they very kindly to let me do that. And they liked what I did, and so beyond that, it was sort of suggested that we should write together, to maybe do something for her band's second album.
So it didn't come around, and we spent about two - what, maybe two, three hours trying to write something for her old band. And it was very awkward and rubbish because we just couldn't do that. So we thought, never mind, let's just write some music for the hell of it. You're here now, let's just have some fun.
So we just started writing from scratch. And it was really good fun, and the music sounded good, and we carried on doing that. And then after a few months, it sort of...
FRANCIS: We sort of realized we had a few songs in the bag.
LYDEN: Wow. There must have been some kind of a trust factor there, Aluna, you know, something about George's style that you believed in.
FRANCIS: It was just this kind of initial meeting that we had where, you know, we were just chopped in and interwoven together. We literally didn't know anything about each other. And being able to write something that was good, surprising, good quality and finished by the end of the day at the same time is having fun with someone was just too much. It was too much to kind of overlook.
ALUNAGEORGE: (Singing) You, you, you, pardon me...
LYDEN: You know, your sound remind some people of a style that was popular probably when the two of you were kids, trip hop. I'm sure you have heard of that. Were bands like Massive Attack and Portishead on your radar when you were growing up?
FRANCIS: Yeah.
REID: For sure, yeah.
FRANCIS: Definitely.
REID: It was...
FRANCIS: They've had a huge impact. They were pretty much, you know, pop music at the time.
REID: I guess because that it was from - in the UK, and we got exposed to a lot of it when we were younger. And they had such a - this is a horrible thing to say - but like an otherworldly quality to it and had all these amazing samples that were put in this new light. And it was kind of hearing that alongside stuff like Air and Bjork and stuff. It was kind of listening to all that kind of music when I was a teenager. So I wanted - how did they do that? How did they do that? I want to learn that.
ALUNAGEORGE: (Singing) Do-bado do do bado, keep giving me a new excuse.
LYDEN: Aluna, I just want to ask you. You know, there's been so many really powerful singers coming out of the UK. And, of course, we've had the tragic passing of Amy Winehouse, certainly a very different style from yours, but is there anything you take away from some of these really big vocalists?
FRANCIS: I am often on the lookout for inspiring vocals. And I think the thing that inspires me most about a female vocal is if I can really feel their character coming through. And obviously, that was something that really happened when you are listening to Amy Winehouse.
But, like, artists like, you know, PJ Harvey, The Knife, CocoRosie, Robyn, you know, I love all those kind of quite honest voices where you get a lot of character behind the voice. It's not just about powerful or sultry or, you know, those kind of elements. I just like - I like something to be striking and interesting, and that's really what inspires me.
LYDEN: So this album includes a great bonus track that's a remake of Montell Jordan's "This is How We Do it" released in the '90's.
MONTELL JORDAN: (Singing) This is how we do it. This is how we do it.
ALUNAGEORGE: (Singing) This is how we do it. This is how we do it. La-la-la-da-da. This is how we do it.
LYDEN: Why that song? Is it a favorite?
REID: Well, we both adore the song. And we were - originally, were looking to - because we were doing some festivals last year - and this year we're doing loads of them, and this is all without us having an album out. So we were expecting an awful lot of people to listen to an awful lot of songs that they've never heard before. And it was a case of like having something that people would recognize in our set and...
FRANCIS: Yeah, kind of feel-good anthem that we could make our own.
ALUNAGEORGE: (Singing) I'm kinda buzzed and it's all because, this is how we do it, so London does it like nobody does, this is how we do it...
LYDEN: You both said this is kind of an anthem. And it is extraordinary, George, how much you guys are touring in Europe this summer, one outdoor festival after another, and here you've made this transition from the studio to these live shows.
FRANCIS: Yeah. It's been quite a journey getting that music out into the live setting. It's - it was something we worked, you know, on and off. Whilst we were writing the album, we would do some spot shows here and there and test out different ways of doing this live show. And we had to tweak a lot from the, you know, from where we very first started up until kind of this year when we feel a lot more comfortable with it. George is on keys.
REID: Yeah. I'm playing some keys. And we got a sampler, we got a live drummer with us, as well. And he's got another sound (unintelligible) so he can trigger sounds from the album. I got a live bassist, as well, and it really adds a fantastic dynamic which you just can't get across from a computer. You know, simply having a hard crash cymbal piercing your eardrum just reminds you that, oh, yeah, we're making music in a band. It's great.
FRANCIS: And just the idea of having to be tight, you know, with your band. Like, there's a moment in the Montell Jordan song where our drummer, Trude (ph), has to do this kind of fill, and we're always hoping that we get it right on the second.
ALUNAGEORGE: (Singing) ...then you would know that I gotta get mine...
FRANCIS: And almost, you know, kick back in at that exact same moment. And that's just what, you know, get it going on stage and you're like, yeah, did it.
ALUNAGEORGE: (Singing) This is how we do it.
LYDEN: Maybe you could tell me what you think you've learned from each other - given to each other.
REID: Loads of things, obviously, by the silence.
FRANCIS: How to make a good cup of tea?
REID: No. Nope. She can't make it right.
ALUNAGEORGE: (Singing) Some people want me to be heads or tails...
LYDEN: That's Aluna Francis and George Reid. Together, they are AlunaGeorge, and their debut album is called "Body Music." Their music videos are definitely worth your time, and you can watch them at nprmusic.org. Aluna, George, have a great summer. And thank you so much.
REID: Thank you.
FRANCIS: You too. Bye.
ALUNAGEORGE: (Singing) I'm no fool, no, I'm not a follower. I don't take things as they come, if they bring me down. Life can be cruel... Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh police today charged a neighbor with killing two sisters during a break-in and robbery at their home last month.
Police have yet to arrest 43-year-old Allen Darell Wade, who they say has vacated his residence since he was questioned in the slayings of 44-year-old Susan Wolf and her sister, 38-year-old Sarah Wolfe.
Their bodies were found Feb. 7, and Wade had been questioned and released late last month before police filed charges today including criminal homicide, burglary and robbery against him.
Police say Wade is considered armed and dangerous.
Police didn't immediately say how they linked Wade to the killings of the sisters of Mary Wolfe, a state representative from Clinton, Iowa. But investigators were known to be conducting DNA tests on items taken from the scene.

How energy efficient are new Canadian houses? That's not as easy a question to answer as you might think and something called EnerGuide for New Houses is both part of the solution and part of the problem.
EnerGuide numbers are now being used to drive building-code changes in a growing number of provinces, including Ontario, with these numbers used to rate the efficiency of houses.
Each new home carries a rating, just like new fridges, stoves and dryers do. Leaky old houses built during the first half of the 20th century would score below 45 or 50 on the EnerGuide scale if they had it back then. Most homes built during the last decade typically score somewhere in the high 60s or low 70s.
An energy-neutral home - one that consumes no net purchased energy at all - has a rating of E100. Sound impossible? Not so. Warm, comfortable, healthy houses that use virtually no outside energy inputs are being built in Canada right now.
Building-code requirements coming into effect across Canada are raising the efficiency bar, requiring new homes to achieve at least an E80 rating. The big question is will your new house hit that mark? Maybe yes, maybe no.
Depending on the province, contractors can have each of their houses tested to see if they meet standards or they can build according to a construction recipe that should, in theory, result in a house that meets E80 standards (Ontario and British Columbia currently have such codes).
Trouble is, actual performance measurements are not required with this second approach, so homeowners never really know if the "recipe" turned out. Depending on the workmanship of the crews that framed and insulated the house, your new place may meet E80 performance standards or it may fall far short of it. And this is precisely where EnerGuide numbers can be misleading.
An E80 home uses 50-per-cent less energy than a E67 home (notice the 13-unit difference), while an E86 structure uses 50-per-cent less than that same E80 home (with just a six-unit difference). The farther up the EnerGuide scale you go, the bigger the difference the space between numbers represents.
A British Columbia study measuring the actual performance of E80 houses that were built using the construction recipe shows what this means in reality. These houses typically delivered only E76 or E77 performance, translating to 29-percent more energy consumption than a true E80 home.
The main issue boils down to air leakage. The leakier a structure is, the lower the EnerGuide rating it earns. Building by recipe is called the "prescriptive" approach and there are risks, especially when it's applied to traditional stud-frame construction. One small, hidden flaw in the vapour barrier somewhere can easily double the rate of air leakage. The resulting drop in the EnerGuide rating signifies a problem that could cost you hundreds of extra heating dollars a year.
Building-code changes based on E80 performance ratings are only the beginning of rising standards that government is imposing on the building industry.
No one knows for sure when the next round of tighter requirements will kick in - although the Ontario Building Code will be updated again in 2014, it's not clear yet whether it will include particulars as far as energy parameters - but when they do they may drive the venerated wood-frame stud-wall construction methods to complete extinction.
Even now, conventional two-bysix construction can't meet code in some parts of Canada; additional insulation is required on the outside face of these walls. Completely different wall and roof building technologies that have remained obscure for decades now make a lot more sense. Look for fundamental changes in the way houses are built and big reductions in the cost of keeping these structures comfortable year round.
Sooner or later, reality always comes home to roost. E80 is only the beginning of the effects that environmental sensibilities are having on the building business. We've certainly got some interesting times ahead.

Serena Hotel in Dar es Salaam
Serena Hotel in Dar es Salaam, formerly known as Movenpick, was sold to a new investor in a multimillion-dollar deal, The Guardian on Saturday can authoritatively reveal.
The revelation, which has also been confirmed by Serena Hotel's top management, proves that former Deputy Minister for Finance Pereira Silima lied in the National Assembly in February, this year.
Though Serena's top management declined to divulge the exact amount paid as the price for the hotel, citing a clause in the contract which bars the buyer from disclosing the total amount paid during the acquisition, The Guardian has established that $28 million was the value of the transaction.
According to details gathered by this paper, what transpired in the change of the hotel's name from the previous Movenpick to the current Serena was total acquisition of the property - meaning the hotel was sold to its current owner

What: Bicycle Longmont trade-in
When: 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday
Where: Bike garage in the former Sears Auto Center at Twin Peaks Mall in Longmont
More info: Children's bikes for the holiday bike program can be dropped off at all Longmont fire stations through Dec. 10. Bikes will be distributed from 1 to 3 p.m. Dec. 15 at the Ed & Ruth Lehman YMCA, 950 Lashley St., Longmont.
Want to volunteer?: Volunteers to clean and repair bikes are asked to come to the bike garage after 10 a.m. Saturdays and Sundays.
More info: For more information, email email@example.com.
LONGMONT -- If your child has outgrown his or her bike, then Bicycle Longmont has a proposition for you: Trade it in this Sunday at no cost for a larger one.
Not only will you leave with a more suitable bike, but you'll also be helping make another child's Christmas a little more special.
Children's bikes dropped off at the trade-in event will go to Bicycle Longmont's annual holiday bike program, which gives away free bikes to children in low-income families before Christmas. Bikes brought to the trade-in must be in good, ready-to-ride condition.
The program is running low on donations this year. As of earlier this week, about 320 bikes were ready for distribution, or about 80 bikes short of the program's goal. Last year, volunteers gave out 450 bikes.
The program especially needs children's bikes with wheels no larger than 20 inches. Tricycle and push scooters are also welcome. Bicycle Longmont has collected more than enough adult bikes.
"We have so many adult bikes and not enough kid bikes," said Buzz Feldman, the holiday bike program's founder and coordinator. "(The trade-in) solves a lot of problems."
Magdalena Wegrzyn can be reached at 303-684-5274 and email@example.com.

Flowers in our own back yard
Spring is really here with lilacs blooming and flowering pear and pink and white crab apple trees and red buds blossoming. Tulips and irises in many colors have opened their tight buds just recently. All these flowers have inspired the Tourism Office to plant flowers too. We have initiated a pilot program this year to do a little local beautification by planting pots of flowers around town. We began with a pot of flowers in front of our own office and visitor's center.
We plan to partner with at least a dozen local businesses, to have pots of flowers around town to welcome visitors. We will begin by assisting the local hotels and B & Bs in planting flowers. Then we hope to partner with several more businesses. The tourism office will provide the planters and match the cost of flowers to each of a dozen businesses that will participate. Trumascape has generously provided potting soil and concrete bricks for our project.
We hope to inspire additional businesses all around town plant flowers or set out pretty pots of flowers that will welcome visitors to Kirksville this summer. Let us see how pretty we can make our own back yard.

Pics: Floyd Mayweather's Fiancee Shantel Jackson Placed $100 Bet For 4th RD Knockout
Did Miss Jackson know something that we didn't?
I know the conspiracy theorists will love to run with this, but I have bad news for you guys. When a bunch of reporters, myself included spoke with Miss Jackson after the fight she told us she made several bets on her future husband to be and 4th round knockout was one of them.
I am mad I didn't do the same thing because for her $100 bet she made $2000.
That would have been a dollarnaire come up for me.
According to Jocks and Stiletto Jill she also designed her outfit for the fight and I can tell you the pictures doesn't do it justice.

Zhenzhen QiAlumni, Class of 2014
I am a mathematician turned investment banker turned accidental entrepreneur turned interaction designer.
I studied Applied Mathematics in University of California, Berkeley. I then worked for an investment bank, advising institutional investors on using Statistical models to manage their financial portfolios.
Three years ago, I quit my job and helped build a microfinance peer lending eCommerce(www.wokai.org), where people from worldwide could lend small loans to impoverished rural Chinese farmers to start their small businesses.
I also organized city scavenger hunts, where people run around the city, compete in fun silly games and donate proceeds to rural Chinese farmers.
I then joined a friend, who designs solar panel cookers for rural nomadic people, on a field trip to interview a few Tibetan villages. I also taught English and creative writing in a small tea plantation in Darjeeling, India.
After getting my diving license in the Philippines, I joined a Luxury fashion jewelry company, helping with branding and business development (www.plukka.com).
Starting fall 2013, I joined the interactive design program at ITP, New York. I am currently exploring intuitive ways to develop animation tools and recyclable DIY fashion wearables.
I hope my projects could contribute towards a life with more dreams, kindess and openness towards each other, and cheaper for ordinary people to afford.
When I am not working, I love travelling around the world and deep water diving. Each person I meet teach me something new. And diving to me is this wondrously magical sport that allows a lazy person to burn so much calorie by simply flying through the gorgeous underground world and playing with fish.

Justin Lawrence
When and why did you start training for fighting? I was kind of born and raised in the family gym. My dad opened his gym in 1993, and when your dad owns a gym and the only place you can go after school and during the summer is to the gym, I can say I've trained since I was six years old. I was born to be a fighter
What ranks and titles have you held? Six-time IKF national kickboxing champion. Two-time Pan American kickboxing champion.
Do you have any heroes? My pop Benny Voyles
What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It's the top organization. I've spent way too much time fighting and training and spending countless hours doing double leg shots, so I deserve nothing less than fighting in the UFC just because of that. You've got guys who just started training five years ago. I've been doing it for 15 years. So if you put that much time and effort into something, you deserve to be at the top.
Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? I went to college for a year and a half for my associates in Criminal Justice, but I still have 30 hours left.
What was your job before you started fighting? Nothing. I just trained full-time and taught at my dad's gym.
Ranks in any martial arts styles: Black belt in kempo karate
Favorite grappling technique: Double leg takedown
Favorite Striking technique: Left hook

Olivia Munn is dating Aaron Rodgers, according to the New York Daily News.
It must be a living hell to be an NFL quarterback.
A mere two weeks after splitting from Joel Kinnaman -- who, it must be said, is not an NFL quarterback -- "The Newsroom" actress has moved on with the Super Bowl-winning Green Bay Packers signal caller.
US Weekly reports sources say that while dining with a group at Nobu Malibu on May 10, the pair behaved like a couple, laughing and kissing throughout the meal.
OK, they behaved like a couple ... but not a married couple.
The two were also spotted together last month in Las Vegas at the 49th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards, where they were photographed hanging out backstage.
Munn, 33, and "RoboCop" actor Kinnaman, 34, split after two years together. Rodgers, 30, had previously been linked to "Gossip Girl" actress Jessica Szohr.
Living. Hell.

Shoulder injectionSeptember 25, 2012 at 9:00 pm | Posted in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) | 4 Comments
Well I've had the injection in my shoulder – the one I wasn't looking forward to in this post. In fact it all went very smoothly. I phoned the GP and she was quite amenable to doing the injection and gave me an appointment for the next day.
While I was there I took the opportunity to ask her if she thought it was RA related, just out of curiosity, and because Andrew (see comments in this post) had got me wondering. In fact, it's almost certainly not, because I have an excellent range of movement in the joint itself. I can't lift the arm up past horizontal, but the ball will slide around in the socket any which way you like, provided it's not my muscles/tendons having to do the work, so the joint isn't affected.
I was a little concerned, but being a brave penguin didn't show it, when doc picked up this huge sausage-shaped cannister and said, 'Right, if you can just get your arm out … ' Yikes, I thought, surely she's not going to inject ALL THAT! 'Just going to put a bit of cold spray on first,' she said, cheerfully, and I realised that was what the cannister was. Phew! The syringe was actually quite small, as was the needle, when compared to the ones that go in the knee!
In fact the injection hardly hurt at all. I can't say the same for the shoulder a few hours later, when the fast acting anaesthetic had worn off and the steroids hadn't kicked in yet! I had a thoroughly miserable evening and worse night, but the next morning I could brush my hair without going 'OUCH!' and the following night I could get my bra off. Can't actually mange to get the damn thing ON in the mornings yet – partly because mornings are bad anyway due to general RA stiffness, and partly because on takes longer than off, giving my shoulder a chance to remember that it hurts … but I think we're getting there.
Flippers crossed that this injection will do the trick and allow the tendon time to heal. In the meantime I'm continuing with the physio exercises to try to strengthen the muscles so it doesn't happen again.
If the injection fails to work, we'll be looking at surgery, and I do NOT want to go down that route if I can possibly avoid it!

I'm so glad the injection went so well and with so little pain, Penguin! I read Andrew's comment; my rheumatologist has also pointed out that RA can and does affect the soft tissues, too. Wouldn't you know. At any rate, it's good that in your case, it's not–but I sure hope the steroid works well so that shoulder surgery isn't necessary. Keeping my fingers crossed for you… 😉

Now in its 125th year, the Hudson County Chamber of Commerce is one of the oldest business chambers in New Jersey. Despite its long and esteemed history, some of the organization's board members have quipped that the chamber was, until recently, one of the "last of the good old boys' clubs" in the state.
That era is now hopefully gone. The chambers' 350-plus members recently elected Daryl Harrison Rand, president of Guttenberg-based Harrison Rand Advertising, to be its new chairperson. Rand is the first woman to be elected as chairperson and will now lead the organization with chamber president and CEO Maria Nieves, who assumed her post in November 2011.
Rand takes over the position from Joseph F. Scott, president and chief executive officer of Jersey City Medical Center, who was chair of the chamber for the past three years.
"There are two things I really want to do," Rand told the Reporter during the chamber's annual business meeting on Feb. 7. "I want to engage the membership as much as possible. I want everybody to have a voice. I want everybody to have a place at the table. I think women are really good at enveloping, and encouraging, and inviting. So, I want this organization to be a voice for the business community, but with the input of the members."
'I want everybody to have a voice. I want everybody to have a place at the table.' – Daryl Harrison Rand
Change in the air
Rand takes over at a time when the organization is growing. Some members recalled recently that before Scott's tenure as chairperson, the chamber was languishing, largely due to the recession. Scott is credited with expanding the organization, despite the bad economy.
"What you see reflected here today is not just a resurgence, but a rebirth of the chamber under Joe Scott," said board member Dr. Glen E. Gabert, president of Hudson County Community College.
"What I saw was a unique opportunity to get the businesses of Hudson County to begin to really work together to make the community here something very, very special," said Scott. "And there's a huge opportunity for us to do even more."
The organization's annual business meeting was held at Puccini's Restaurant in Jersey City, home to the 12th largest downtown in the United States, according to Nieves. Next month the chamber, in partnership with the Jersey City Economic Development Corporation, will host a trade mission to India to bolster investment and tourism between Hudson County and the South Asian nation.
Several municipalities in Hudson County – including Jersey City, Hoboken, and Secaucus – are home to large populations of Indian nationals who might be a bridge for such cooperation between South Asia and New Jersey.
"There are places to fit in, networking events, government affairs dialogues, celebratory galas, business summits, gatherings for young professionals, and international trade missions to expand business markets and showcase our assets [here in Hudson County]," Rand said in prepared remarks to the membership.
Robert Cotter, director of Jersey City's Division of Planning, was the keynote speaker for the annual business meeting. Cotter gave an historical overview of how different eras of city planning have reshaped Jersey City into the landscape that it is today.

US Home Prices Rise in October From Previous Year
US home prices rose in most major cities in October compared with a year ago, pushed up by rising sales and a decline in the supply of available homes. Higher prices show the housing market is improving even as it moves into the fall and winter, when sales traditionally slow.
The Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller national index measuring prices in 20 cities rose 4.3 percent in October, up from a 3 percent annual gain in September.
Prices rose in October from a year ago in 18 of 20 cities. Phoenix led all cities with a 21.7 percent gain, followed Detroit, where prices increased 10 percent. Prices declined in Chicago and New York.
Prices fell in 12 of 20 cities in October compared with September. Monthly prices are not seasonally adjusted, so the decreases reflect the end of the peak buying season.

Part 1: First grant nets nearly $1 million for dam removal
The village of Lyons has learned it has received not one, but three state grants to fund infrastructure and parks improvements. All three projects are slated to take place in late August or September.
The state's Dam Management Grant Program awarded the Ionia Conservation District $994,975 to remove portions of the Lyons Dam and rehabilitate the site.
Lyons has applied for money to fund this project before, but had not been in a good position for those grants, said Melissa Eldridge, the conservation district manager.
"This is the first time that this pot of money has been available ... and it's been a long, drawn-out process of surveying, doing an engineering plan and finding the right partners," Eldridge said, adding that Lyons received a smaller grant from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife in October. "Those smaller pieces to add to this, that's when it fell into place. It's been a long time coming, but we're finally at the construction part."
Eldridge said there is permitting from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality that must happen first, and then the project will have to wait until water levels are lower, probably in late August or early September. Once construction begins, the project will take six to eight weeks, she said.
The project will remove the concrete facing of the dam and the parts of the dam that have been in danger of collapsing, leaving the rocks and wood crib behind it in tact.
"It won't be a complete blow out. (Leaving the rest) will hold the sediment behind that structure and not let it flow downstream," she said. "If it were to go, it would settle out and create sand bars, and would change the flow."
The engineering plan also includes bank and channel stabilization. Lyons already has done some bank stabilization where there were problems with erosion, and those areas need to be protected, Eldridge said.
In addition, there will be a stairway of rocks placed in one-foot increments added to replace the current fish ladder, which hasn't worked correctly for some time in spite of repairs, said Eldridge.
"Ecologically, fish can't get through there. With a stair step up to the face of the dam, the fish can migrate naturally," she said. "We know from cameras upstream that some salmon have been able to get through, but darters and smaller fish species are not strong enough swimmers (to make it through the current fish ladder)."
Once completed, the project will create additional green space, where the bank is exposed, after "the little bit of draw down" from the dam removal.
"It will add property to the landowners on either side, " she said. "It will look as natural as possible, and maybe kayakers will be able to shoot the rapids."
Tomorrow: Lyons receives grants to upgrade Hazel Devore Island Park and revamp Bridge Street downtown.

The overall objective of the programme is to promote inclusive and sustainable development through international trade.
It offers analysis and advice and seeks to build consensus, strengthen capacity and promote partnerships for trade policy, trade negotiations, trade in goods and services, competition law and consumer protection, and managing issues arising at the intersection of trade, the environment and climate change.
Corrupt and opaque financial practices deprive resource-rich developing countries of "staggering" amounts of money, UNCTAD Secretary-General Mukhisa Kituyi said at the opening of the UNCTAD Global Commodities Forum in Geneva on 7 April.
The use of trade remedies – specifically anti-dumping duties and countervailing duties – on renewable energy goods such as solar panels, wind turbines and biofuels, will be among the topics examined by experts at an UNCTAD meeting in Room XXVI, Palais de Nations, on 3–4 April 2014.

A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
What a book!
I loved every minute of it! EVERY MINUTE!!!!
I adore the way the author paints pictures with her words! I could not put this book down at most parts and was incredibly sad when I was done. You know it was a good book, when you have a feeling like you lost a friend after you turn the last page!
I cannot say enough about the writing style of Mrs. Harknesse! She is a magician with words. I can pinpoint the exact moment when I fell in love with this book: The scene where Diana is rowing for the first time in the book! Oh my goodness! I felt the air on my face and the exhilaration of flying along the water in the boat!
What a ride this book was from the first page to the last, really! I am so going to see if I can get the other books in this series! I hope they are as good as this one!
The characters are all absolutely believable and to the most part you will fall in love with them!
If you like Witches, Vampires and Demons in stories, PLEASE do yourself a favor and read this one! The story is great as is the writing! This is definitely a "read more then once" book for me!
Thank you so much, Mrs. Harkness, for taking me to all these wonderful places and letting me meet all these wonderful creatures!

The Ohio Department of Health could seize and kill a man's pet spider monkey, after the animal bit an employee at a car dealership, Tuesday.
The monkey's owner, Jacob Ruehlman, 20, brought the white-bellied, 10 pound spider monkey to a car dealership 45 miles east of Cleveland, Ohio, he said because the monkey gets upset when separated from his owner. The monkey, named Brodi, lives with Jacob and his twin brother Michael Ruehlman.
"He (the employee) reached his hand right in the car," Jacob Ruehlman said. "It wasn't a serious bite. It looked like someone had stuck a tiny pin in his thumb."
Brodi was sitting on Michael Ruehlman's lap in their rental car when a Pat O'Brien Chevrolet employee approached the car window. The employee asked to pet Brodi, whom Jacob Ruehlman said may have felt out of his element in a strange place.
Ruehlman said the health department is attempting to obtain Brodi to possibly have the monkey executed.
Brodi has his own YouTube channel, and some videos of the monkey received hundreds of thousands of views. Videos include Brodi playing outside and getting a bath.
Ruehlman said Brodi is vaccinated for rabies, which was verified by police, and Ruehlman's exotic animal permit is pending.
The Ruehlman brothers were previously arrested in Ft. Myers, Fla., on misdemeanor charges after allegedly stealing a pair of gibbons from a Nebraska woman.
According to the Lincoln Journal Star, the brothers met Nancy Stephens on the Internet. The brothers reportedly stayed with Stephens at her Nebraska home during the summer of 2013 until mid-July.
When Stephens' two gibbons went missing in September, she suspected the brothers and alerted a mutual friend, who convinced Jacob Ruehlman to meet in Florida to return the gibbons, the Journal Star reported. Before the brothers could meet the mutual friend, a Lee County deputy sheriff stopped and arrested the men.
Charges against the brothers are pending through the Lee County Common Pleas Court.
Ruehlman, who has had pet monkeys since age 15, obtained Brodi when the monkey was 2 months old. Ruehlman said he got Brodi through a licensed breeder in Missouri, Lolli Brothers Livestock Market Inc. Police verified receipts of the sale, which show Brodi was purchased by Ruehlman on Dec. 9, 2011.
Ruehlman said Brodi is currently staying with his co-owner and no time frame has been given regarding the monkey's fate. Ruehlman said he hopes Brodi's life is spared because Brodi is up-to-date on all his shots.
"He's a new world monkey," Ruehlman said. "They don't carry diseases. Brodi was born here in the United States, so it's not like he's some exotic, wild animal."
Ruehlman said he doesn't care if he is fined by the state, as long as Brodi remains alive and in his possession.
"He's like my kid," he said. "He sleeps in bed with me, wears diapers and has the biggest bedroom in the house."

Posted on June 13, 2012
Going along my haphazard way to explain all the categories at the Book Fair, insofar as they CAN be explained, I was considering one of our newest: Blank. We added Blank to the line-up in 2010 or thereabouts, basically to handle the mass of journals we had coming in. Apparently, for a while there, journals were as popular a gift as humorous coffee mugs. However, just as with the coffee mugs, you can quickly fill a person's demand. Yes, coffee mugs break and journals get used up, but there is a limit to how many spares a person wants to store against the ultimate eventually.
So we have this category, where I can put those, and humorous notepads, and unused spiral notebooks, and empty three-ring binders, and other such office supplies. Yes, technically the binders are not blank but empty, but if I put up a sign saying "Blank and Empty", everyone will think that's where they'll find Camus. (Joke for the literati.)
HOWEVER (and you knew there had to be a however) there are a few blank items which belong in other categories. Bridge tallies, for example, wind up in Games, and uncolored coloring books wind up in Children. (Unless they're those incredibly detailed and uncolorable educational books, and these may wind up in history or archaeology or biography or who knows what all else.) Empty book safes go into Collectors, where we can keep an eye on them and make sure customers know these are book safes. (A book safe is an empty book, a book hollowed out for hiding things in. It can be constructed anew, or someone can take an old book, cut out the insides, and make one's own. In any case, we want to be sure no one buys them thinking they are a real book. This is distinct from the item known to professional musicians as a fake book, which is a real book. Joke for the musicians)
And empty stamp albums go into Antiques. Books on coin collecting and stamp collecting go into Antiques, along with the doll collecting and watch collecting and baseball card collecting books. Empty coin albums also go into antiques, but it is the stamp albums which are concerning me these days. I have had sixteen stamp albums donated over the past month, and all but two of them have been empty. This is a great disappointment, because most of those stamp albums were 70 to 100 years old, and finding these with stamps in them is a wonderful thing.
It is more complex, of course: I need to wrap the album in a plastic bag, so no stamps escape, and then write a label t explain more or less what's inside. AND during the Book Fair, somebody has to watch to make sure the customer doesn't open the bag, slip the $200 stamp into her purse, and walk away, leaving the bag on the floor. The $200 stamp cost me nothing, oh lass of larsony, but that bag cost me fifty cents.
The empty ones are easier to price and pack, and leave me with no worries, but somehow that isn't my foremost thought as I look through them. There are two kinds of empty stamp albums: those which were never used, and those which have had all the stamps removed. I prefer the first kind: they still have their active lives ahead of them. The albums which have been plundered have those little marks where once the stamp hinges bloomed to show the world what kind of collection USED to be available here. This includes modern slick albums issued by the Post Office to advertise the past year's stamps (I have plenty of donors who bought these, decided t use all the stamps, and then give the book away. It would have been cheaper, licorice lollipop, to buy the stamps without the album around them in the first place. Or is that what you thought "book of stamps" meant?
Anyway, we will have a goodly assortment of empty stamp albums for you in the Antiques section, unless, as I am beginning to suspect, most of them are moldy. In that case their appearance in the sale will be cancelled. (Joke for philatelists. And, as the coin collectors tell you, philately will get you nowhere.)

July of 2014 is just around the corner and no doubt you will be happy to know that donations are just rolling on in. Yeah, I know August is supposed to be a no donation month. Tell everybody else.
I told you about the five boxes of old surgical textbooks. By old I mean two hundred years old. Please plan your trip to the collectibles table accordingly. (The antique medical and scientific books are at the first corner you come to as you move down the first aisle: across the corner where Art turns right.) The book of glorious engravings of hernias is red, if I remember correctly.
Somebody actually counted what they gave me. What they gave me was 1,054 records, from the estate of an uncle I have to figure was a disc jockey who appeared at a lot of proms and anniversary dinners. Because of these 1,054 records, roughly a thousand are pop instrumentals—dance music—of the Forties and Fifties. There are The Hollywood Strings, The Hollywood Brass, The Melachrino Strings, 101 Strings, Lawrence Welk, Liberace…there's enough retro Easy Listening for a dozen lounges.
Another record collection was the kind that gives me qualms every year. First, do I leave the 45 adapters in the 45s or try to sell them separately? And do people buy them with the records or just pop them out and put them in a pocket? (For those who do not recall, the old doughnut-format single could be played on the spindle of a record player only if the record player came with a special adapter for the larger hole, or if you inserted a metal or plastic adapter into the record itself. The plastic ones can generally be removed and used in other records, but the metal ones were often permanent.)
Beyond that weighty question is the fact that about sixty of the 45s that were donated were polkas. Do you know that until the 2012 Book Fair I was unaware that there even were such things as polkas on 45? I led a sheltered life, but I had no idea it was that sheltered. In fact, Chicago had at least two record companies which seem to have specialized in polka singles.
Still, going back to 1986, when I started pricing records at this little shindig, there have been polka albums to torment me with that sorting question: what category do they go into? Are polkas Folk, Easy Listening, or Classics? (The Strausses wrote a goodly number of polas, you know.) I've always opted for Folk, which puts me in line with a number of other record sellers. (eBay, that bunch of cowards, set up a separate category called Polkas.)
Mind you, the polka came across the ocean in the mid-nineteenth century and became so popular in Mexico and Central America that the Latino record section is also a possibility. But what I try to do is put something where I think people will find it, and the number of customers looking for polkas who will go straight to the Latino…yes, I'll wait while you try to accept the concept of customers looking for polkas in the first place.
Listen, this collection has put us in the position of practically cornering the market in singles by Li'l Wally and the Harmony Boys, including even his famous Polka Twist (to give you an idea of the vintage of these bits of musical plastic). I bet I sell more of those than I sell old French books with engravings of hernias in them.
Somebody dropped off a small but interesting collection of books dealing with theories about the calendar system of the Ancient Greeks, but if you're not going to be serious about Li'l Wally, I refuse to even mention that. So there, too.

I recently aquired a Micromag with a MicroMag bolt. I Installed the lvl X upgrade kit tonight and it vents out the rear velocity adjuster. It has one of those "dial a welt" toolless adjusters and vents out the center. I replaced all the orings in the bolt and lubed it well. I have to turn it way up to get it to fire and then it vents like made out the rear. I tried the shortest of the two springs and the original spring with the same result. Any suggestions?
I'm sorry, but after a long day, I didn't have the patience to read all 72 pages.

I've got a question for those of you who may know. In just about every professional sport I know of the criteria for being a "pro" player are that you have the ability to compete at the highest level and that they are capable of making a living at it.
Now I may be wrong but isn't the criteria for being a pro paintball player the amount of tournaments you participate in? First you start out as a novice, then after so many events you have to move up to rookie and so on through amateur then pro right? So would a pro then be a person who just participates in lots of tournaments, regardless of skill?
As to making a living at playing tournaments is there anybody out there actually doing it? No full or part time jobs or business ownership, just income from playing tournaments that is sufficient to make a living. Sponsorships can be considered income I think, it is a form of payment. I suppose it is possible but I haven't heard of anyone doing it.

It's probably time to come clear about my prison record.
No, if you just scrolled down fast to find out what I was in for, my prison experiences are third-hand, at worst. I don't even watch the prison shows on cable. My interest in prisons, beyond staying out of them, is minimal. For one thing, I don't believe I'd get along with the wardens.
Maybe I've just found the wrong wardens. I suspect there are good, strong, high-minded wardens, just as I believe there are good, strong, honest politicians. So far, though, I have not run across really book-minded wardens.
A man called once, wondering what we did with the leftover books after the Book Fair. I get these calls, and, frankly, I have been getting more of them lately. The word has gone out that there's gold in Book Fair leftovers. But this was back in the days before I had entrepreneurs fighting over what my customers leave behind.
This man was a prison librarian in a state—not Illinois—where the law required all prisons to have libraries. He worked, however, for a warden whose philosophy was "Okay, we have a library. The law doesn't say there have to be books in it." The prison librarian, who was not an inmate and had some savings he could spend, wanted to know if he could rent a truck and come get our leftovers.
My response was "Show me." If you want to see a desperate man, a Book Fair manager with leftovers someone promised to pick up but didn't will do for a start. I could not believe anybody was going to drive in from out of state to load a lot of books on a truck to take to a prison.
But he did it. And he told me later the inmates were thrilled by this massive load of books for an empty library. He was ready to do it again the following year: his library was full, but he knew there were other prison libraries in his state with no books.
Never heard from him again. I don't know whether he died, was reprimanded for causing so much excitement, or just ran out of money. I suppose it's unfair of me to blame it on the warden, but I still regard him as a suspect in the case.
Some years after that, I had a letter from an address that was mainly numbers. It came from a man not in Illinois nor in the state in the previous story. He was on Death Row, and wondered if I had any books I was going to throw away. He and his fellow Death Row residents had time on their hands, he said, and wouldn't mind reading damaged books.
I asked around the Newberry to see whether anybody thought I was walking into a trap. The consensus was that if I had books to throw away, I might as well throw a couple in the direction of Death Row and see what happened. The man had mentioned philosophy, and I had just had a donation from a college student who was overly handy with a highlighter. I packed up a small box and sent it by the cheapest postage to the prisoner number, care of the state involved.
I got a thank you note a month later. He'd always heard about Plato, and was glad to get that. The odd volume of the Summa Theologica was being passed from hand to hand like nobody's business.
We'd piled up a few other books that we thought fit the bill: Aristotle, a couple of history books, a couple of science books—he had mentioned the night sky and the time inmates had for stargazing. Another thank you note followed. I sent about six packages of books, all told, and he reported that he had become sort of the Death Row librarian.
Then I had a letter from the warden, asking me to stop wasting my postage. The books I was sending were being thrown away by security before they reached the prisoners, so it was useless of me to send them. I did wonder how my correspondent had thanked me for specific books if he never actually saw them, but the warden was not interested in discussing it, and did not reply to my letter.
I found out later that he had written in the wake of a prison break involving Death Row inmates. I never learned whether the man who had written was involved, and whether those astronomy books had been part of the plot. (Learning the stars can be helpful in making your way across country.) Or shutting off the flow of books may have been a means of punishing the truants.
So my record with prisons, and prison wardens, is not something to brag on. One never knows. Maybe there are wardens who come to the Book Fair and pick out reading material to take back to what one of my donors called "the Hard Rock Hotel". Maybe even now one of them is trying to think of a way to hold a Book Fair in his prison. He won't have one of my problems, at least: there'll be dozens of volunteers to go out and pick up donations.

Truman women light it up from outside, score 110 points in victory.
KIRKSVILLE - The Truman State women's basketball team was looking for a way to put a tough loss in the California Baptist University Classic behind them before jumping into MIAA play later this week.
They did that Monday. And then some.
The Bulldogs set numerous school and conference records, letting fly from three-point range with unmatched accuracy in a 110-43 non-conference victory over Mount Mercy College (Iowa).
Truman improved to 8-2 with the win on New Year's Eve. They'll open the bulk of conference play Thursday at home against Lincoln University at 5:30 p.m.
"When you have 12 days off after your last game, eight of those the kids are at home and you don't know exactly what they're doing, if they're continuing to stay in shape or whatever, for me personally it was about getting that bad taste out of our mouth from that last game before Christmas against Vanguard," Truman head coach Michael Smith said, referring to his team's defeat in the Classic championship game.
The Bulldogs made that game one to forget while making this one an afternoon to remember.
Truman took advantage of a soft Mount Mercy defense and used quick ball movement for open looks from the outside. That resulted in 22 made three-pointers, a new record for both the program (previously 15 in 2011 against Central Methodist and 2002 against Westminster) and the MIAA (20, by Emporia State in 2010 and Central Missouri in 2011). The barrage was the eighth-most in one game all-time in Division II.
Truman hit on 71 percent of its three-point attempts (22-of-31), also a program record (2011, Central Methodist) and set a record for overall field-goal percentage by hitting on 65 percent of their shots (39-of-60). That number broke a mark previously set against Lincoln in 1979 (68.3 percent).
"That was awesome," said freshman Courtney Strait, who hit eight three-pointers while scoring a game-high 28 points. Strait said she's been working on her technique in practice.
"I've been really working in practice on keeping my feet set, staying low and being ready to shoot before I catch it," she said. "I ran the court like I was supposed to and I got open."
Fellow freshman and Marion County High School product Jessica Redd had 11 points for the Bulldogs. Redd said she's making adjustments, leaning from fellow post player Jennifer Conway, to get acclimated to the college game.
One of her biggest changes?
"I have to talk," she said with a laugh. "I didn't do that in high school. I have to talk on the court. That's the biggest thing."
Despite the offensive fireworks, Smith was most pleased with his team's defensive intensity. Truman forced 26 turnovers in the win.
"We knew coming in we would probably have the advantage against this team, but we were looking at how well defensively we wanted to play. That's what I was most please about, our defensive intensity, our rotations, those things. We've really been stressing that the last couple days in practice," he said.
Nicole Gloor had 12 points and six assists, Allie Norton had 15 points, six assists and six rebounds, Amy Briggs had 14 points and 10 assists, Becka McHenry had nine points and two assists, and Megan Sharpe had eight points and six rebounds.

Capital Press
SACRAMENTO — Though overall acreage was down a bit this year, hay producers in California found their per-acre yields to be about average, an industry expert said.
Alfalfa growers have been cutting, windrowing, raking and baling the last remnants of the crop in the last few weeks, and most achieved six to eight cuttings this year, according to the USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service office here.
Growers encountered good drying conditions throughout the season except for a stretch of hot afternoons in early July, said Phil Bowles, a board member and past president of the California Alfalfa and Forage Association.
"From a normal cultural standpoint, it was a pretty standard year," said Bowles, a Los Banos, Calif., grower.
Producers were hoping for abundant yields this season to make up for a slight drop in acreage. California producers were harvesting hay from 1.45 million acres in 2013, down 6 percent from last year, according to a NASS plantings report.
The decrease was partly due to some growers electing to take out stands to put in other seasonal crops such as fresh-market tomatoes or melons, Bowles said.
"I'm not sure what the explanation (for the reduced acreage) is except that it's a year-to-year variation," he said. "You put new fields in and take others out … When you make your decision to take out a field and put in melons, it's obviously not your best hay field or you wouldn't be doing it."
Despite a reduced tonnage, prices for alfalfa and other hay have remained a bit softer then they've been in the last couple of years. Supreme alfalfa is averaging about $242 per ton in the San Joaquin Valley, compared to $265 a ton in the summer of 2012 and as much as $290 a ton in 2011, according to USDA hay reports.
"I think that gives the dairymen a little more breathing room," Bowles said. "Hay is still a reasonable choice for a grower that can grow good hay and has an adequate water supply."
Among other California field crops, according to NASS:
• The cotton harvest is in full swing and the crop was about three-quarters harvested by the first weekend of November. Isolated rain at the end of October wasn't enough to cause staining.
• Over one-third of the winter wheat fields are planted and some early-planted wheat has emerged. Farmers have begun to plant in dry soil and are waiting for rain to start germination. Most winter wheat is in fair to good condition.
• Range and non-irrigated pasture remains in fair to very poor condition, as more precipitation is needed to improve foothill and valley rangeland conditions.

When I read an article that says "we have to get a handle on the livestock predation issue," I wonder if the writer means domestic dogs or coyotes. I am not speaking tongue in cheek since the USDA's livestock predation reports list those two as the biggest killers of sheep and cattle, of course after disease, that is number one.
As I read further I see the hysteria over wolves and denial of facts is alive and well. On occasion I read statements such as the following, "My husband and I are cattle ranchers in California and our cows calve in pastures with coyote packs, mountain lions and other predators, and we use only nonlethal livestock protection methods."
Idaho ranchers seem to not accept even statements by fellow ranchers that nonlethal predation methods work. Many ranchers that use my taxpayer dollars to feed their cattle on my public land do not want to invest anything in protecting their business as other businesses do when conditions change (when wolves appear on the landscape).
My tax dollars also pay the federal Wildlife Services to kill predators (along with thousands of unintended birds and mammals) for the ranchers.
No, I am not an Idaho resident but my tax dollars are. Thankfully, most of us are capable of caring about more than ourselves and our immediate surroundings. If we care enough to keep open minds and practice responsible, competent livestock management, we can learn to how to ranch peacefully alongside predators.
I will expend all the energy available to me to see that goal is reached.

Tigers - 000 100 100 - 2 5 0Verlander threw a gem (8-4-0-1-8, 123), still dealing in the upper 90s in the eighth inning.
Red Sox - 000 000 000 - 0 4 1
Buchholz (7-5-2-3-3, 100) was good, but an unearned run in the fourth and a solo dong from Ryan Raburn in the seventh was plenty of runs for the Tigers. Raburn had both RBI.
Boston's best chance to score came in the first, when Josh Reddick doubled with one out and Victor Martinez singled him to third. Verlander then struck out Jason Bay and David Ortiz.
On Bay's whiff, Martinez stole second, the second theft of his career and first since 2003. He took off on the 3-2 pitch, stopped halfway to second, saw that Gerald Laird was not throwing down, and started up again and flopped into the base.
Martinez singled in the third and Jacoby Ellsbury doubled in the eighth. That was sum of the Red Sox offense.
The Rangers won this afternoon, so Boston's wild card lead is now only 0.5 GA.
Boston goes for a four-game sweep of the Tigers this afternoon before heading to Texas for the weekend.
The Red Sox lead the Rangers (who play in Cleveland today at noon) by 1.5 games in the wild card standings.
10 PM: Yankees/Mariners.

Everything Kitchens only carries quality juicers. However, as each model is designed differently, some juicers function better than others for certain types of produce: for juicing soft and hard fruits and vegetables, for example, our most popular juicers include the Breville JE98 and 800JE. These units also perform favorably for citrus. For juicing wheatgrass and leafy greens, on the other hand, our most popular models include the Omega 8005/8003 and select Samson Juicers.
Specialized juicers intended for wheatgrass will juice soft fruits and hard vegetables, though not as efficiently as some of our other models. If you only plan to juice citrus and nothing else, you can't go wrong with the Bosch Citrus Juicer.
Everything Kitchens is happy to assist you in selecting a juicer. For a more thorough comparison, you may want to look at our Juicer Comparison Chart and Juicer Selection Article.

Mila Kunis is set to guest star alongside Ashton Kutcher in an upcoming episode of "Two and a Half Men," CBS announced on Tuesday.
Kunis will play Vivian, a "young, beautiful, free-spirited world traveler" who shows up on the doorstep of Walden, the character played by Kutcher. Walden feels an instant connection with her, convinced she's "the one." The problem is, Walden was about to propose to someone else.
Yes, it's a case of art imitating real life — that is, if you want to call "Two and a Half Men" art. Last week, it was reported that Kunis and Kutcher, who met in 1998 on the set of Fox comedy "That '70s Show," got engaged. The couple have been dating for nearly two years.
The guest appearance by Kunis will mark the duo's first appearance together on a scripted program since "That '70s Show" ended in 2006.
No airdate for the episode was announced.

Nola Leads Baseball to SEC Semifinal, 7-2
Communications Sr. Associate
HOOVER, Ala. – Junior right-hander Aaron Nola fired 7.1 innings for his 10th win of the season Thursday, and catcher Tyler Moore collected three hits and two RBI as eighth-ranked LSU defeated No. 20 Arkansas, 7-2, in the SEC Tournament at Hoover Metropolitan Stadium.
LSU (42-14-1), which has won six straight games, advances to play at Noon Saturday in the tournament's semifinal round. The Tigers will play the winner of Friday's 3 p.m. contest between Arkansas (37-22) and Ole Miss.
Postgame Press Conference (Video)
Nola fired 110 pitches in the outing, limiting the Razorbacks to two runs on five hits in 7.1 innings with three walks and seven strikeouts. Nola earned his 29th career LSU victory and moved into a tie with Louis Coleman (2006-09) and Ben McDonald (1987-89) on the school's all-time wins list.
Moore led LSU's 12-hit attack by going 3-for-4 at the plate with a homer, a double and two RBI. LSU has collected 74 runs on 88 hits during its six-game win streak.
Arkansas starter Colin Poche' (3-1) was charged with the loss, as he surrendered three runs on four hits in 2.2 innings with one walk and one strikeout.
"Obviously, a good win for the Tigers today," said LSU coach Paul Mainieri. "Anytime you give the ball to Nola, you feel confident about your chances. He struggled through the first inning with limited damage. It could have been worse; we could have gotten ourselves into a pretty big hole, but Aaron pitched out of it like he typically does."
Arkansas took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first when designated hitter Clark Eagan singled, moved to second on leftfielder Joe Serrano's grounder to short, advanced to third on second baseman Brian Anderson's single, and scored when Moore made an errant throw in attempting to erase Anderson at second base.
The Tigers tied the game at 1-1 in the second when Moore launched a solo homer, his fourth dinger of the year and the first allowed this season by Poche'.
"I wasn't really trying to make up for the error; I was just trying to get something going and it happened to be a home run," Moore said.
LSU struck for two runs in the third as shortstop Alex Bregman doubled and scored on designated hitter's Chris Chinea's RBI single, and Jake Fraley – running for Chinea – scored on a run-scoring single by leftfielder Sean McMullen.
The Tigers added a run in the sixth when McMullen singled, moved to second on first baseman Conner Hale's groundout and scored on Moore's RBI single.
The Tigers scored another run in the seventh in unusual fashion – rightfielder Mark Laird tagged and raced home from third when Fraley popped out in front of the third base dugout, but none of the Arkansas defenders covered home plate.
LSU increased the lead to 7-1 in the seventh when Laird ripped a two-out, two-run single to score third baseman Christian Ibarra, who had walked, and Moore, who had singled.
Arkansas loaded the bases scored a run that was charged to Nola in the eighth, but relievers Nate Fury and Zac Person each recorded an out in the inning to end the threat.
LSU closer Joe Broussard worked around a lead-off walk to retire the Razorbacks in the ninth, recording two strikeouts.
