However, the rest of the Huskers combined for just 19 points and 16 rebounds.
A bounce-back game will not be easy against the Bearkats.

Coach Brenda Welch-Nichols and the Bearkats have opened the season 1-2 while participating in the Preseason WNIT. SHSU is coming off a 73-55 win over Grambling State on Nov. 17.

Yori Reaches Top of Husker Coaching Chart in Win Over Temple
Nebraska Coach Connie Yori became the winningest women's basketball coach in school history with NU's win over Temple on Nov. 11, 2012. The victory over the Owls increased Yori's win total to 192 at the start of her 11th season at Nebraska. She moved past former Husker Coach Angela Beck (1986-97) atop Nebraska's all-time win list. Beck posted a 191-128 record (.599) in 11 seasons at the helm of the Huskers.
The 2010 National Coach of the Year, Yori needs seven more wins to become the first women's coach in Nebraska history to reach the 200-victory mark. Yori's NU mark is 193-127 (.603).
On the men's side, only Danny Nee and Joe Cipriano have produced 200 basketball victories at Nebraska. Nee won 254 games in 14 seasons coaching the Huskers from 1987 to 2000. Cipriano earned 253 wins in 17 seasons from 1964 to 1980.
Moore Shoots for 103rd Straight Start
Senior All-America candidate Lindsey Moore made the 102nd consecutive start of her Nebraska career in the Huskers' loss at South Dakota State on Nov. 18. The 5-9 point guard from Covington, Wash., has started every game of her Husker career since leading the Huskers to a perfect 29-0 regular season record and the Big 12 title as a freshman in 2009-10.
Moore owns a 72-30 record as Nebraska's starting point guard and has guided the Huskers to a pair of NCAA Tournaments. She is nearing Nebraska's top 10 in career starts. If Moore can get to 106, she will catch 1993 Wade Trophy winner Karen Jennings (1990-93) at No. 10. Kelsey Griffin, a 2010 first-team All-American and a teammate of Moore's in 2009-10, owns the NU career record with 127 starts.
Huskers Have History of Home-Opening Success
Nebraska owns a history of season-opening success on the Huskers' homecourt at the Devaney Center. Nebraska improved to 37-2 all-time in home openers, including 35-2 at the Devaney Center, with its 68-50 victory over North Carolina A&T on Nov. 9, 2012.
From 1981-82 through 2004-05, Nebraska reeled off 24 straight home-opening wins before losing to South Dakota State on Nov. 19, 2005. NU's only other home-opening loss came to Kansas (88-56) on Nov. 21, 1980.
Nebraska has been strong in its first six home games every season. In fact, NU is 198-33 over the past 39 years in its first six home contests (.857 winning percentage), including 33-6 in the second game of the season. The Huskers stretched their Game No. 2 winning streak to 13 games with a 64-39 win over Temple on Nov. 11, 2012.
Game No. 3 has traditionally provided the toughest test among the first six home contests for the Huskers, but NU has won six straight in Game No. 3 after an impressive 77-55 run past Northern Arizona in Lincoln on Nov. 16, 2012. NU improved to 32-6 all-time in game No. 4 with a 70-50 win over Savannah State, and 34-4 all-time in Game No. 5 with a 65-27 win over Texas-Pan American Dec. 4, 2011. NU produced its 15th straight victory in Game No. 6 with a 66-55 win over Creighton Dec. 8, 2011.
Scouting the Sam Houston State Bearkats
Sam Houston State comes to Lincoln with a 1-2 record after playing three games in the Preseason WNIT to open the season. The Bearkats opened the year with a 63-31 loss at Delaware, which advanced to the second round of the 2012 NCAA Tournament. SHSU then dropped a narrow 66-62 decision to Sacred Heart in Lynchburg, Va., before finding its first win of the season in a 73-55 run past Grambling State on Saturday, Nov. 17 in Virginia.
Britni Martin, a 6-0 senior forward, leads the Bearkats with 16.7 points and 2.7 rebounds per game. SHSU's top long-range threat, the shooter has hit 8-of-26 three-pointers early this season. Angela Beadle, a 6-3 sophomore forward, has added 10.0 points and 6.7 rebounds per game, while 6-0 senior forward Sequeena Thomas has added 5.0 points and 10.7 rebounds per contest.
While the Bearkats have featured a solid inside game, 5-9 senior Chanice Smith has led the SHSU guards with 7.3 points and 5.3 rebounds per game. Jasmine Johnson, a 5-7 junior guard, has pitched in 4.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and a team-best 4.0 assists per game to round out SHSU's starting five.
Coach Brenda Welch-Nichols has played a deep rotation early in the season, with 10 players competing in all three games and 13 Bearkats seeing action overall. Jazmin Wiley, a 5-11 sophomore guard, has been the most productive Bearkat off the bench with 4.3 points and 3.7 rebounds per game. Fellow sophomore guard Kaysean Clavelle has seen the most playing time off the bench, averaging 3.7 points and 3.3 rebounds in 20.7 minutes per game. Nyha Carter (2.0 ppg, 2.0 rpg), Amanda Barnes (1.7 ppg, 1.0 rpg) and Victoria Gonzalez (0.7 ppg, 2.3 rpg) round out the list of SHSU's primary contributors.
As a team, Sam Houston State has struggled to score early in the season, averaging just 55.3 points per game, while shooting just 35.4 percent from the field and 24.1 percent from three-point range. But SHSU's defense has been solid, holding its opponents to just 61.3 points per game, and limiting the opposition to just 35.2 percent shooting from the field. The Bearkats have allowed their foes to hit just 9-of-42 three-pointers through three games.
With a strong and experienced inside game, SHSU owns a plus-0.7 team rebounding margin, but carries a minus-6.3 team turnover margin
Nebraska vs. Sam Houston State Series History
Nebraska leads the all-time series with Sam Houston State, 2-0, but Tuesday night's game marks the first meeting since Nov. 28, 1995. The Huskers defeated the Bearkats, 88-65, in that game at the Devaney Center. The only other previous meeting also came at the Devaney Center, when Nebraska rolled to a 90-51 win over the Bearkats on Nov. 23, 1990.
Sam Houston State returns four starters and nine letterwinners from a team that finished 18-12 in 2011-12, including 12-4 in the Southland Conference. Britni Martin averaged 17.4 points and 4.7 rebounds per game last season, while Sequeena Thomas produced impressive averages of 14.5 points and 12.6 rebounds per game. SHSU competed in the 2012 Women's Basketball Invitational postseason tournament.
Huskers Drop Close Game at South Dakota State
Lindsey Moore scored 21 points but it was not enough to prevent No. 15 Nebraska from falling 60-55 at South Dakota State on Sunday afternoon.
Moore hit 6-of-13 shots from the field, including 3-of-6 three-pointers, while adding 6-of-8 free throws to lead the Huskers. The 5-9 point guard from Covington, Wash., added five assists and four rebounds.
Jordan Hooper, a 6-2 junior forward from Alliance, Neb., added 15 points and seven boards, but the rest of the Huskers managed just 19 points against a stingy and disciplined Jackrabbit team.
Ashley Eide answered the production by Moore and Hooper with a game-high 26 points and four steals for the Jackrabbits. Eide hit 10-of-17 shots from the field and 5-of-6 free throws. She scored 13 points in each half as the only Jack in double figures. Katie Lingle added a solid game inside for the Jackrabbits with nine points, eight rebounds and three blocked shots, while Leah Dietel managed just two points but pulled down a game-high 10 boards. With Lingle and Dietel leading the way, South Dakota State controlled the glass, 38-27, against an NU squad that entered the game with a plus-8.0 rebound margin through the first three games.
Nebraska won the turnover battle on the day, but the Huskers' 19-18 edge wasn't enough to overcome SDSU's advantage on the boards.
"The biggest stat of the day was obviously the rebounding," Nebraska Coach Connie Yori said. "I thought they were the most physical team and they wanted it more than we did today. You have to give a lot of credit to South Dakota State, I thought they were the better team today and they earned the win."
For the game, Nebraska shot 40.4 percent (19-47) from the field, including 5-of-18 from three-point range. The Huskers also hit just 12-of-19 free throws (63.2 percent). SDSU answered with 43.8 percent (21-48) shooting from the floor, but just 3-of-14 from long range. SDSU did hit 15-of-21 free throws.
In a back and forth game, Nebraska took a 28-27 lead into the locker room at halftime on the strength of 10 points from Hooper, who sat more than five minutes in the half with two fouls. Hooper's jumper at the halftime buzzer gave NU the lead after a half that featured nine lead changes and nine ties.
South Dakota State assumed control to open the second half with an 8-0 run in the first four minutes, but Nebraska answered with an 8-0 run of its own, capped by a Hooper three-pointer to give NU the lead back at 36-35 with 12:28 left.
The two teams were knotted at 41 after a Rachel Theriot free throw with 7:42 remaining, before Megan Waytashek scored back-to-back buckets and Tara Heiser added a free throw to give SDSU a 46-41 edge with 6:17 to play. NU could get no closer than three points the rest of the way.
Nebraska Celebrates Final Basketball Season at Devaney Center
The Nebraska men's and women's basketball teams will celebrate their final season at the Bob Devaney Sports Center throughout the 2012-13 campaign. The Huskers will move into the new Pinnacle Bank Arena in downtown Lincoln in October of 2013. The arena, which is set for completion next fall, will become the new home of Husker men's and women's basketball in 2013-14.
As part of the festivities at the Devaney Center during 2012-13, the Huskers plan to highlight the greatest moments and greatest players in the 37-year history of the Devaney Center At each men's and women's basketball home game during the season, HuskerVision will produce a big screen feature showcasing one of the most memorable moments in men's and women's basketball history.
On the women's side, long-time Husker Sports Network basketball broadcasters Matt Coatney and Jeff Griesch compiled the list along with Mike Babcock, who researched and wrote a detailed history of Husker women's basketball in 2000. The women's basketball moments range from Jan Crouch's 27-point performance on opening night on Nov. 12, 1976 to Lindsey Moore's triple-double on Jan. 2, 2011. They include championship celebrations in 1988 and 2010 and historic victories throughout the decades, while recognizing Husker legends such as Karen Jennings, Maurtice Ivy, Kelsey Griffin, Anna DeForge, Amy Stephens and more.
During the season, fans also will be able to join the discussion through social media, offering their most memorable moments at the Devaney Center.
The Nebraska Athletic Department has created a special "Devaney Center Final Season" logo that will be displayed on giant banners draped outside above the north and south entrances of the Devaney Center.
Hooper, Moore Earn Spots on Wade, Naismith, Wooden Lists
Junior Jordan Hooper and senior Lindsey Moore are being mentioned among the top players in the nation in 2012-13, and are candidates for the Wade, Naismith and Wooden awards.
Hooper and Moore were among 25 college players named to the 2012-13 preseason Wade Watch List, announced by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) on Sept. 18. They joined each other on the Preseason Wooden Award Top 30 on Nov. 9. They appeared on their first national player-of-the-year watch list together last season, when they were both included in the Naismith Midseason 32 and they earned spots on the 2013 Naismith Trophy Preseason Top 50 on Nov. 15.
Hooper and Moore are the first Husker teammates in history named to any of the three major national player-of-the-year watch lists at the same time.
In 2011-12, Hooper was an Associated Press Honorable-Mention All-American, while earning WBCA All-Region 6 honors. The 6-2 forward from Alliance, Neb., was also one of five first-team All-Big Ten selections, and a member of the Big Ten All-Tournament team after averaging 18.9 points and a Big Ten-best 9.3 rebounds per game.
Moore, a 5-9 point guard from Covington, Wash., was one of eight finalists for the 2012 Nancy Lieberman Award, which is presented annually to the nation's top point guard. Moore joined Hooper on the Big Ten All-Tournment Team and was a second-team All-Big Ten choice. Moore ranked No. 2 in the Big Ten in assists (5.1 apg), No. 5 in steals (2.2 spg) and No. 7 in scoring (15.7 ppg).
Former Nebraska All-American Karen Jennings won the Wade Trophy in 1993, while All-American Kelsey Griffin was a finalist for the Wade, Naismith and Wooden awards in 2010.
Hooper, Moore Earn Preseason All-Big Ten Honors
Nebraska's Jordan Hooper and Lindsey Moore captured All-Big Ten honors while the Huskers were picked to finish second in the conference, when preseason polls were announced by the Big Ten Oct. 25.
Hooper, a 6-2 junior forward from Alliance, Neb., was named to the preseason All-Big Ten team by both the conference coaches and media. In 2011-12, Hooper was one of five first-team All-Big Ten selections, while also earning Big Ten All-Tournament honors. She ranked third in the Big Ten in scoring (18.3 ppg), while leading the Big Ten in both rebounding (9.3 rpg) and double-doubles (14) last season.
Moore, a 5-9 senior point guard from Covington, Wash., was one of five preseason All-Big Ten picks by the conference media. Moore ranked No. 7 in the Big Ten in scoring (15.7 ppg), No. 2 in assists (5.1 apg) and No. 5 in steals (2.2 spg) in 2011-12. Moore earned second-team All-Big Ten honors as a junior, while joining Hooper on the Big Ten All-Tournament Team.
Defending regular-season champion Penn State was the choice of the coaches and the media to win the 2013 Big Ten title. The Huskers were picked second in both polls, while Purdue was the coaches' selection to finish third. Ohio State was the media's choice to finish third.
Huskers Return Ton of Production in 2012-13
Nebraska returns 85.4 percent of its points (2,013 of 2,356), 86.6 percent of its rebounding (1,209 of 1,396), 79.5 percent of its assists (348 or 438), 87.6 percent of its steals (248 of 283) and 94.1 percent of its blocked shots (95 of 101) from its 2011-12 team.
The 2011-12 Huskers ran to the school's 10th NCAA Tournament berth in school history while finishing with a 24-9 overall record.
Huskers Load Up 2012-13 Schedule
Nebraska's 31-game regular-season schedule features 18 games against 2012 postseason squads. NU's schedule is highlighted by 12 games against 2012 NCAA Tourament teams, including a matchup with Elite Eight qualifier Maryland and two games with NCAA Sweet 16 Penn State. The Huskers played three games against 2012 WNIT teams and three contests against WBI participants.
The Huskers also play seven games against six teams that won conference titles in 2012. Maryland headlines the list of conference champs after claiming the 2012 ACC Tournament title. The Terps finished with a 31-5 record at No. 6 in the AP poll. NU also faces Big Ten regular-season champ Penn State twice and Big Ten Tournament champ Purdue once. In non-conference play, the Huskers tangle with Big Sky Conference champ Idaho State, Missouri Valley Conference champ Creighton and Summit League Conference champ South Dakota State.
Husker Non-Conference Schedule Offers Quality, Depth
Nebraska expects to face one of the toughest regular-season schedules in school history in 2012-13. NU's Strength of Schedule has ranked among the top 30 nationally in four of the past five seasons, and the Huskers could face a top-20 schedule in 2012-13. Six of Nebraska's non-conference opponents won 20 or more games last season, led by Maryland's 31.
Perhaps an even stronger indicator of the depth of Nebraska's schedule is that the Huskers will play 20 games against teams that won 18 or more games, while 12 of the Huskers' 13 non-conference opponents won at least 14 games a year ago.
Huskers Return Talented Nucleus in 2012-13
Nebraska returns four of five starters and nine of its top 11 contributors on the court for the 2012-13 season. NU's talented group of four returning starters is headlined by 2013 All-America candidates Jordan Hooper (18.9 ppg, 9.3 rpg) and Lindsey Moore (15.7 ppg, 3.3 rpg, 5.1 apg, 2.2 spg), along with All-Big Ten candidate Emily Cady (9.9 ppg, 6.5 rpg).
Moore and Hooper will be joined by sophomores Cady and Hailie Sample as the returning nucleus to Nebraska's starting five. Meghin Williams, who played in all 33 games as a junior forward in 2011-12, will join Moore as the only seniors on the Huskers' 2012-13 roster.
Adrianna Maurer, the only center on NU's 2011-12 and 2012-13 rosters, also returns after having her sophomore season cut short by a back injury. The 6-3 Maurer played in just 10 games to open the 2011-12 season before undergoing season-ending back surgery.
In addition, sophomores Tear'a Laudermill, Brandi Jeffery and Katie Simon all played in at least 27 games as freshmen in 2011-12.
Nebraska only loses the services of 2011-12 senior starting guard Kaitlyn Burke (6.2 ppg, 2.4 rpg, 2.4 apg) and senior reserve forward Harleen Sidhu, who appeared in just three games and did not score last season before having her career cut short by a knee injury. Sophomore guard Rebecca Woodberry, who averaged 4.5 points and 3.3 rebounds in 31 games last season, was also removed from the Nebraska roster for violating team policies on Oct. 31.
Injuries Slow Down Huskers in Offseason
Nebraska's offseason has featured a laundry list of injuries up and down the roster. Nebraska's entire starting five played injured in the Huskers' NCAA Tournament loss to Kansas to end the 2011-12 season.
Emily Cady underwent offseason knee surgery, while Jordan Hooper and Hailie Sample each took extended rest to recover from stress reactions in their legs following NU's four games in four days at the Big Ten Tournament. Cady entered the season as one of the healthiest Huskers, while Hooper and Sample were limited by injuries. Lindsey Moore was slowed by a reoccurring injury, while NU's lone center Adrianna Maurer continues to recover from major back surgery in January of 2012. Senior forward Meghin Williams has been limited in practice throughout her four-year career by foot injuries.
Freshman guard Rachel Theriot missed nearly three weeks of practice with a stress reaction in her foot, bringing the list of Huskers severely limited in practice to seven on a daily basis.
Nebraska's other freshmen, Courtney Aitken and Sadie Murren, and sophomores Brandi Jeffery, Tear'a Laudermill and Katie Simon were healthy throughout fall practice.
Cady Leads Husker Sophomore Class
Emily Cady has produced a solid start to her second season in Nebraska's lineup. The 6-2 forward from Seward, Neb., is averaging 7.3 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 2.0 steals through four games. Her efforts included a 13-point, seven-rebound, four-steal effort against Northern Arizona. She also had a five-point, 10-rebound performance against Temple, which marked the eighth double-digit rebound game in Cady's career. Cady has started 37 consecutive games to open her career.
In 2011-12, Cady captured Nebraska's first-ever spot on the Big Ten All-Freshman Team by producing 9.9 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.4 steals per game to go along with a team-leading 28 blocked shots in 2011-12. The 6-2 forward from Seward, Neb., increased her production in Big Ten play by averaging 12.3 points and 6.3 rebounds in regular-season conference play.
Cady also earned a spot on the honorable-mention All-Big Ten team from the conference media. She became the first Husker freshman since Meggan Yedsena in 1991 to earn a spot on an overall all-conference team. Yedsena is the only Husker in history to earn four spots on all-conference teams. Yedsena claimed honorable-mention All-Big Eight accolades in 1991, before capturing three second-team awards in 1992, 1993 and 1994.
Husker Starting Five Solid for 33 Straight Games in 2011-12
Nebraska put the same starting five on the floor for 33 consecutive games in 2011-12, a miraculous feat considering the injuries the Huskers battled on their way to a 13-18 record in 2010-11, and during the final month of 2011-12. All five of Nebraska's starters played with leg injuries at some point in 2011-12, including Jordan Hooper and Hailie Sample, who did not practice in the week leading up to NU's appearance in the NCAA Tournament. In addition, Emily Cady played the final month of the season with a knee injury suffered against Wisconsin on Feb. 19, and Lindsey Moore battled through a bone bruise just under her knee suffered against Northwestern on Feb. 16. Senior Kaitlyn Burke, who was granted a medical redshirt after being knocked out with multiple injuries in 2009-10, dealt with foot and leg injuries throughout the 2010-11 and 2011-12 seasons.
Despite the injuries, Nebraska's top five battled to start every game, marking the third time in 10 seasons that Coach Connie Yori's Huskers have accomplished the feat. A consistent lineup throughout a full season is a rarity in college basketball. Nebraska, which was the only Big Ten team to feature the same starting five throughout 2011-12, was one of only three teams in the 2012 NCAA Tournament to start the same five for every game. Kansas State and BYU were the other two.
The 2006-07 Huskers featured the same starting five for 32 games on their way to a 22-10 season and the NCAA Tournament. Yori's 2003-04 Huskers also used the same starting five for 30 games on their way to an 18-12 season and a WNIT bid.
Moore, Hooper Climbing Nebraska Career Scoring List
Lindsey Moore and Jordan Hooper have flown up the Nebraska career scoring chart during their time as Huskers. Moore, a 5-9 senior guard from Covington, Wash., ranks No. 15 at Nebraska with 1,216 points. She needs 27 points to catch Brooke Schwartz (1997-2000) in 14th place.
Hooper, a 6-2 junior forward from Alliance, Neb., already ranks 17th all-time on the Husker scoring list with 1,139 points. Hooper needs 44 points to catch Jan Crouch (1,183, 1975-79) in 16th on NU's all-time list, right behind senior teammate Lindsey Moore. In 2011-12, Hooper became NU's first sophomore to reach 1,000 career points, achieving the mark in her 60th career game.
Moore Becomes Third Husker with 1,000 Points, 500 Assists
Lindsey Moore is one of just three player in Nebraska history with 1,000 points and 500 assists, joining Meggan Yedsena (1991-94, 1,116 points, 696 assists) and Nicole Kubik (1997-00, 1,867 points, 563 assists).
Moore ranks No. 15 at Nebraska with 1,216 points and No. 4 in career assists with 524.
Hooper 12th Nebraska Native with 1,000 Points as Husker
Jordan Hooper is the most recent of 12 native Nebraskans among the the Huskers' 28 1,000-point scorers in school history. Hooper is also the second player from the town of Alliance, Neb., in NU's 1,000-point club, joining Amy Stephens (1,976, 1986-89).
Only two other towns in Nebraska have produced multiple 1,000-point scorers with Omaha supplying Maurtice Ivy (2,131, 1985-88), Janet Smith (1,284, 1979-82) and Yvonne Turner (1,101, 2007-10) and Lincoln providing Jan Crouch (1,183, 1976-79) and Dominique Kelley (1,107, 2008-11).
The other 1,000-point scorers from the state of Nebraska are: Nicole Kubik (Cambridge, 1,867, 1997-2000); Angie Miller (Clatonia, 1,541, 1984-87), Brooke Schwartz (Gering, 1,243, 1997-2000), Stacy Imming (Kearney, 1,036, 1984-87) and Charlie Rogers (South Sioux City, 1,001, 1997-2000).
Huskers Expect More Experience in 2012-13
Despite a 12-player roster that features five sophomores and three freshmen, Nebraska is still expected to showcase one of the Big Ten's most experienced starting lineups in 2012-13.
While featuring just one returning senior starter (Lindsey Moore) and one returning junior starter (Jordan Hooper), the Huskers expect to match Iowa for the third most returning starts with 228.
Only Penn State (303) and Northwestern (249) are expected to return more starts than Nebraska. While Nebraska will be more experienced, the Huskers match Northwestern and Michigan as the only schools in the Big Ten with just four players who have ever started a collegiate game. The other nine Big Ten schools all return at least five players with starting experience.
As a whole, the Big Ten is expected to be a more senior-dominated conference in 2012-13. The conference lost only seven seniors who earned all-conference honors in 2011-12, while returning 13 all-conference honorees. A total of 10 2011-12 juniors earned all-conference honors, and all five members of the Big Ten All-Defensive Team were drawn from the junior class.

Hooper Hopes to Build Off Super Sophomore Campaign
Jordan Hooper became the first sophomore in school history to produce 600 points and 300 rebounds in the same season, finishing the 2011-12 campaign with 624 points and 306 boards. The 6-2 forward from Alliance, Neb., became just the fourth Husker ever to accomplish the feat.
Hooper, an honorable-mention AP All-American and a first-team All-Big Ten pick, set the Nebraska sophomore single-season scoring record with 624 points. She eclipsed the 609 points scored by Kiera Hardy in 2004-05. Hooper's 306 rebounds marked the third-highest total in school history by a sophomore, trailing only 372 by Janet Smith in 40 games in 1979-80) and 314 by Carol Garey in 36 games in 1978-79. Hooper's 9.3 rebounds per game matched Smith's sophomore record.
To give Hooper's productivity some more perspective, only one other sophomore in school history - Kathy Hagerstrom (1980-81) managed to score 500 points and grab 250 rebounds.
Hooper's sophomore production was on a similar level to the two most productive seasons in school history. Karen Jennings, the 1993 Wade Trophy winner and a first-team All-American, produced 810 points and 319 rebounds in 32 games as a junior in 1991-92. Kelsey Griffin, a finalist for every national player-of-the-year award in 2010 and a first-team All-American, produced 685 points and 354 rebounds in 34 games as a senior.
Moore Threatening Top of Nebraska Career Assist List
Lindsey Moore has climbed into Nebraska's career top five in assists with 524 (4th) as a Husker. The 5-9 point guard from Covington, Wash., needs 39 assists to catch former Husker All-American Nicole Kubik (1997-2000) in third on the career list with 563. Moore is just 43 assists from joining Jina Johansen (2002-05) at No. 2 on the Husker all-time chart with 567.
The Nancy Lieberman Award candidate needs 172 more assists to match Meggan Yedsena's school record of 696 assists from 1990-91 to 1993-94.
Last season, Moore dished out 167 assists in 33 games, while distributing 183 assists as a sophomore in 2010-11. She opened her career with 154 assists as a freshman in 2009-10.
Moore has produced a career-high 11 assists on four occasions (at Iowa, Jan. 8, 2012; Mississippi Valley State, Nov. 15, 2011; Florida A&M, Jan. 2, 2011; vs. UCLA, March 23, 2010).

Hooper Puts Up Double-Doubles at Record Rate
Jordan Hooper climbed into a tie with two-time WNBA All-Star Anna DeForge by producing her 18th career double-double in Nebraska's win over Temple on Nov. 11. Hooper scored 12 points and grabbed 14 rebounds to notch her first double-douoble of 2012-13.
Hooper led the Big Ten and ranked among the top 25 players nationally with 14 double-doubles in 2011-12. Hooper, who produced double figures in 32 of Nebraska's 33 games, produced 14 double-figure rebounding performances as a sophomore.
Hooper's 14 double-doubles ranked as the third-highest single-season total in school history, trailing only first-team All-American Kelsey Griffin's 20 in 2009-10, and Nafeesah Brown's 16 in 1993-94. Griffin and Brown were both seniors when they produced their impressive double-figure totals.
Hooper became just the fifth player in Nebraska history to post double-figure double-doubles in a season, joining Griffin (10, 2006-07, 20, 2009-10), Brown (16, 1993-94), Karen Jennings (13, 1990-91, 13, 1991-92), Maurtice Ivy (10, 1985-86) and Carol Garey (10, 1978-79).
Hooper, a 6-2 junior forward from Alliance, Neb., has produced double-doubles in four of her last six games. She had 25 points and 10 rebounds in the Big Ten Championship Game loss to No. 21 Purdue on March 4. She added 21 points and 10 rebounds against No. 14 Ohio State in the Big Ten semifinals March 3, and 15 points and 10 boards in little more than a half against Iowa on March 2.
Hooper produced arguably her most eye-popping double-double with 19 points and a career-high 18 rebounds in NU's win over Wisconsin Feb. 19, 2012. Her 18 boards tied for the 12th-highest total in school history and were the most by a Husker since Charlie Rogers grabbed 20 against Drake on Dec. 2, 1999.
Hooper added back-to-back double-doubles with 22 points and 15 rebounds against Iowa Jan. 26, and 12 points and 16 rebounds at Illinois Jan. 29. She notched double-doubles in a personal-best four straight games from Dec. 18, 2011 to Jan. 5, 2012.
Huskers Slip to No. 23 in AP Poll with Loss to Jackrabbits
Nebraska dropped eight spots to No. 23 in the Associated Press on Nov. 19, following a setback at South Dakota State on Sunday.
However, NU's appearance in the second regular-season AP poll continued the Huskers' school-record 17th consecutive week in the AP rankings. NU's previous longest stretch in the AP rankings came with 14 weeks in 2009-10.
Nebraska's 2012-13 schedule is littered with top competition receiving votes in the preseason AP poll. Maryland, which comes to the Devaney Center on Nov. 28 for the Big Ten/ACC Challenge, was ranked No. 10 in this week's AP poll.
Preseason Big Ten favorite Penn State, which the Huskers play twice (Jan. 13, March 3) vaulted to sixth in the AP poll, while Purdue jumped to No. 14 in the writers' poll. Ohio State, which the Huskers play two times (Jan. 31, Feb. 14) this season, joined Purdue in moving up four spots to No. 16..
In addition to those six games against top-25 foes, the Huskers will also face Florida State (Dec. 8) and Iowa (Feb. 11, Feb. 24), who both earned votes in this week's AP rankings.
Nebraska's History of Success at Home
The Huskers produced a 13-3 record at the Bob Devaney Sports Center in 2011-12. Since the Devaney Center opened in 1976-77, the Huskers are 378-126 (.750) in games played in the arena, including 141-85 (.624) in conference games. Since 2003-04, NU is 114-30 (.792) at the Devaney Center.

Huskers Smashed School Three-Point Record Again in 2011-12
The 2011-12 Huskers produced another record-setting three-point season, connecting on 230 threes on a record 759 attempts. Nebraska led the Big Ten with 7.0 made threes per game, matching the school-record the Huskers set in 2010-11.
Nebraska's 230 threes surpassed the 225 the 2009-10 Huskers hit. NU's 759 attempts shattered the previous school recored of 661 also set in 2009-10.
The Huskers hit seven or more threes in 17 of 33 games in 2011-12 (UAPB-9, MVSU-14, at Florida State-9, UTPA-7, Northern Arizona-10, Vermont-8, South Dakota State-8, at Iowa-10, Penn State-7, at Ohio State-7, Minnesota-8; at Purdue-13; Michigan-9; Minnesota-8; Northwestern (Big Ten)-9; Iowa (Big Ten)-7; Ohio State (Big Ten)-9).
NU hit a season-best 14 three-pointers on 26 attempts against Mississippi Valley State, which marked the second-highest total in school history. It trailed only the 17 threes the Huskers hit against Vermont (17-33) to open the 2010-11 season. They added the third-best mark by draining 13-of-34 threes on the road in an epic 93-89 triple-overtime victory at No. 15 Purdue on Feb. 2. Nebraska also connected on 10-of-19 threes in a win at Iowa on Jan. 8, after hitting 10-of-22 threes at Northern Arizona on Dec. 10. Nebraska attempted a school-record 37 threes in the loss to Michigan Feb. 9, while connecting on 9. NU went 8-for-22 in the second half against the Wolverines.

Hooper Leads Assault on Husker Three-Point Records
In addition to her impressive scoring and rebounding numbers, Jordan Hooper has hit three-pointers at a record-breaking rate since her arrival at Nebraska.
The 6-2 forward shattered the NU single-season freshman record with 67 threes (67-184, 36.4 percent) in 2010-11, and drained 67 more threes in 2011-12, which is the second-best total by a sophomore in Nebraska history. Hooper's 2011-12 season total trailed only Kiera Hardy's school-record total of 85 set during her sophomore campaign in 2004-05.
In 68 career games, Hooper has hit 144 three-pointers to rank fifth on the Nebraska career list. She needs one more to catch Kate Galligan (1993-96) in fourth on the school career chart. Hooper is more than halfway to Kiera Hardy's NU career mark of 267.
In 2010-11, Hooper tied the Nebraska single-game record with seven three-pointers at Missouri on Feb. 2, 2011. She scored 31 points against the Tigers, including 28 on six threes in the second half alone.
Hooper Plays Beast on Boards
Jordan Hooper led the Big Ten and ranked among the nation's top rebounders with 9.3 boards per game as a sophomore in 2011-12.
Her 18-rebound effort in a win over Wisconsin on Feb. 19 put her in rare company in the Nebraska record books, tying for the 12th-highest single-game total in school history. It also marked the best rebound total by a player in Coach Connie Yori's first 11 seasons at Nebraska. It was also the highest total by a Husker since Charlie Rogers grabbed 20 rebounds against Drake on Dec. 2, 1999.
Hooper's 18-board performance represented her third time in seven games with 15 or more rebounds. She became just the seventh player in Husker history to grab 15 or more rebounds three times in a career. and just the sixth Husker to pull down 15 or more boards three times in a season, joining Janet Smith, Carol Garey, Nafeesah Brown, Pyra Aarden and most recently, Keasha Cannon-Johnson (2001-02).
In back-to-back games last season, Hooper grabbed 15 rebounds in a win over Iowa (Jan. 26), before ripping down 16 boards in a victory at Illinois (Jan. 29). She joined Smith and Aarden as the only Huskers to pull down 15 or more boards in back-to-back games.
Sample Joined Cady as Freshmen in 2011-12 Starting Five
Hailie Sample joined Emily Cady as freshman forwards in Nebraska's starting five for all 33 games in 2011-12. Cady and Sample became the first Husker freshman tandem in history to start every game together in a season. In fact, only seven freshmen in school history prior to 2011-12 had ever started every game in a season for NU, including current Husker senior Lindsey Moore (school-record 34 starts, 2009-10) and junior Jordan Hooper (31 starts, 2010-11).
Two other freshmen have started every game under Coach Connie Yori, including forward Kelsey Griffin (32 starts, 2005-06) and guard Dominique Kelley (33 starts, 2007-08). The only other freshmen in NU history to start every game were Meggan Yedsena (28 starts, 1990-91), Angie Miller (28 starts, 1983-84) and Jan Crouch (31 starts, 1975-76).
Pinnacle Bank Arena to Provide New Home to Huskers in 2013-14
Nebraska continues preparations to move into its new home for men's and women's basketball - Pinnacle Bank Arena - next season. Construction on the $179 million arena has marched ahead of schedule with favorable building conditions for more than a year.
The Huskers will continue to call the new Hendricks Training Complex home for practice, while the Nebraska volleyball, wrestling and gymnastics team will call the Devaney Center home for competition.
The arena project was approved by voters in May 2010. Pinnacle Bank Arena is expected to open in the fall of 2013. Nebraska men's and women's basketball teams will be the primary tenants of the 470,400-square-foot facility, which can hold nearly 15,000 fans for Husker hoops.
As the exclusive sponsor of the arena and arena site, the new arena website will be PinnacleBankArena.com. The agreement also calls for Pinnacle Bank to receive: three exterior signs; the Pinnacle Bank Arena logo on the center-hung scoreboard, public exterior doors and adjacent light pole banners; signs on the main and upper concourses; use of a center court suite and use of the arena for two days per year; and three locations for ATM machines in the arena.
Huskers Made New Home at Hendricks Complex in 2011-12
The Nebraska men's and women's basketball and wrestling programs moved into their new homes at the Hendricks Training Complex in October of 2011.
The 80,000-square foot facility adjacent to the Bob Devaney Sports Center includes separate practice courts for the men's and women's basketball programs, as well as expanded locker rooms, player lounges, team rooms and offices.
The $18.7 million facility includes a 5,000-square foot weight room, a completely renovated athletic training area that tripled the size of the previous area at the Devaney Center, and a nutrition station similar to the one in the Osborne Complex.
The building is named for Tom and Mary Hendricks of Pipe Creek, Texas, and their children, Jennifer and Brandon, as they provided the lead gift in this project to benefit Husker student-athletes for years to come.
Throughout the facility, efforts have been made to give student-athletes the best training environment to succeed. Both the men's and women's basketball practice gyms are a court-and-a-half with six baskets, allowing additional work while the main floor is being used. The courts themselves are made with premium maple flooring with sleeper cushions that absorb shock to minimize injury. Both gyms have advanced acoustics as well as 103-inch plasma screens.
The amenities inside the facility are top-of-the-line, as the main entrance features a two-story abstract net sculpture, as well as a granite fountain imported from China. The facility also features two video walls and 63 TVs. The women's lounge features three 65-inch televisions and a unique LED bubble wall. The Huskers have a custom locker room with iPads built into the lockers, as well as custom back-lit displays.
The Hendricks Training Complex is the first project completed in the Expand Their Experience Campaign. For more information on the other facility projects, visit www.ExpandTheirExperience.com.
Yori's Huskers Own Success Against Top 25 Foes
Nebraska has made a habit of knocking off top-25 opponents during Connie Yori's 10 seasons at the helm. In fact, the Huskers' final win last season over No. 14 Ohio State (March 3, 2012) marked Nebraska's 25th win over an AP Top 25 foe under Yori
The Huskers also defeated No. 8 Ohio State (Feb. 26), which marked NU's sixth victory over a top-10 foe under Yori. Prior to Yori's arrival at Nebraska in 2002-03, the Huskers owned just one win over a top 10 opponent in school history.
NU produced five wins over AP Top 25 teams (at game time) last season, including a 93-89 triple overtime win at No. 15 Purdue (Feb. 2). The Huskers also knocked off No. 16 Penn State (Dec. 30) on the road in their first-ever Big Ten Conference game, while defeating No. 23 USC (Nov. 18) at the Devaney Center.
In 2009-10, the Huskers set the school single-season mark with eight wins over top-25 teams. NU's top-25 wins that season came against No. 5 LSU, No. 9 Baylor, No. 10 Oklahoma State, No. 11 Oklahoma, No. 12 Texas A&M, No. 13 Iowa State, No. 16 Iowa State, No. 22 UCLA. The win over No. 9 Baylor and freshman Brittney Griner, was Nebraska's first-ever road win over a top-10 team. The Huskers' three wins over top-10 foes in 2009-10, matched Nebraska's previous total from the previous 35 seasons.
The highest-ranked team Nebraska has ever defeated was the 2004-05 Baylor team that went on to win the national title. NU outlasted No. 2 BU, 103-99 in triple overtime on Jan. 12, 2005. The Huskers' 21-point win over No. 10 OSU on Feb. 3, 2010, marked NU's largest victory margin ever over a top-10 team. Nebraska's 29-point win over No. 14 Iowa State in 2005 was NU's largest victory margin in history over a top-25 foe. Nebraska's 56-45 win over No. 15 Texas at the Devaney Center in 2008 also marked the lowest point total ever allowed by the Huskers against a ranked opponent.
Before Yori's arrival at Nebraska in 2002-03, the Huskers had not defeated a top-10 team since a 73-67 win over No. 9 Iowa on Dec. 8, 1996, and had never beaten a top-five opponent.
Huskers Worked Overtime for Wins in 2011-12
Nebraska went 2-1 in overtime in 2011-12, and the three extra-long games went a combined seven overtimes. The seven overtimes were the most the Huskers played in a single season in school history, and marked the first time that NU played multiple multi-overtime games in the same season.
The Huskers' 93-89 3OT win at No. 15 Purdue on Feb. 2, was the first road triple-overtime game in school history and marked the second overall 3OT game (NU 103, Baylor 99 3OT, Jan. 12, 2005). Nebraska added a 74-70 double-overtime loss against the Boilermakers in the championship game of the Big Ten Tournament on March 4 in Indianapolis, Ind.
Nebraska notched a 97-88 double-overtime win at Northern Arizona on Dec. 10. The wins at NAU and Purdue marked the first time in school history that Nebraska won two true road overtime games in the same season.
The Huskers have played 35 overtime games in school history, but just six multi-overtime games, with three of those coming in 2011-12. NU is 5-1 all-time in multi-overtime games, and 18-17 overall in OT. The Huskers are 5-3 in OT in Coach Connie Yori's 10 seasons at NU. The last time Nebraska won two overtime games in the same season was 1995-96, when the Huskers went 2-1, including a double-overtime win against Colorado. NU went 3-0 in overtime games in 1975-76, with all three of those games coming against non-Division I teams on neutral courts.

Havers, Tvrdy, Ramacieri Feel at Home as Huskers
Nebraska women's basketball coach Connie Yori announced the signing of three talented prep stars to National Letters of Intent on Wednesday, Nov. 14, to join the Huskers for the 2013-14 season.
Allie Havers, Hannah Tvrdy and Esther Ramacieri will join the Huskers in 2013-14 hoping to continue Nebraska's tradition of postseason play. Havers, a 6-5 senior forward from Mattawan High School in Michigan, will bring outstanding height, length and athleticism to the Huskers. Tvrdy, one of the winningest players in Nebraska High School history from prep power Seward, adds another player with a point guard's mentality to the Husker backcourt. Ramacieri adds international flavor to the Husker class, as the fourth Canadian to sign with Nebraska in 11 seasons under Yori.
"We're excited about the addition of Hannah, Allie, and Esther to our Husker family," Yori said. "They all are hard-working kids who fit in our system both on and off the court."
Allie Havers - 6-5, Forward, Paw Paw, Mich. (Mattawan)
Ranked as the No. 76 overall player in the nation, Allie Havers earned first-team Michigan Class A honors from the Associated Press and Detroit Free Press in 2012. A first-team All-South Michigan Athletic Conference selection each of her first three seasons at Mattawan High School for Coach Troy Wright, the 6-5 Havers was also the Kalamazoo Area Player of the Year in 2012.
As a junior at Mattawan, Havers averaged 17.9 points, 11.8 rebounds, 5.3 blocks, 1.6 steals and 1.3 assists for the 16-7 Wildcats. She shot 50 percent from the field, including 31 percent from three-point range, while knocking down 77 percent of her free throws.
An excellent all-around athlete who has shown guard skills on the court to go along with her 6-5 frame, Havers competed for the Michigan Crossover club team coached by Emez Oliver. Havers was also a four-year letterwinner as a middle blocker/hitter on the Mattawan volleyball team. She also earned three letters as a pitcher and shortstop for the softball team.
"We like versatile and athletic players in our program and Allie Havers fits that mold perfectly," Nebraska Coach Connie Yori said. "She can do multiple things for our basketball team with her ability to run the floor, score in the paint or face up away from the basket. She will be one of the more athletic players on our roster. Her upside is tremendous, and with our strength and conditioning program and the opportunity to focus on just one sport, we think she will thrive at Nebraska. Her future is very bright here."
Havers said she chose Nebraska over Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Green Bay and Iowa State.
"I really like the facilities, but what I really got attached to was the people," Havers said. "All of the girls are hilarious and really nice. I also loved the coaches. They were great. So it was really the people for me."
Hannah Tvrdy - 5-9, Guard, Seward, Neb. (Seward)
A four-year starting guard for Nebraska prep power Seward High School, Hannah Tvrdy committed to Nebraska before her junior season for the Bluejays in 2011-12. Hannah's father, Tom, is the head coach at Seward, while her mother, Shelly (Block) was a letterwinner for the Huskers (1984-87). Shelly and Hannah will be the first mother-daughter combination in the history of Nebraska women's basketball.
As a junior in 2011-12, Tvrdy was named the honorary captain of the Class B first-team all-state squad after leading Seward to its fourth consecutive Nebraska Class B state championship with its third straight unbeaten season. The second-team Lincoln Journal Star Super-Stater averaged 15.6 points and 5.0 rebounds per game as a junior. Tvrdy earned second-team Class B all-state honors as a sophomore after averaging 12.7 points and 5.5 rebounds per game in 2010-11. She earned honorable-mention Class B all-state accolades as a freshman starter in 2009-10. She has helped the Bluejays extend their winning streak to 101 consecutive games entering her senior season in search of the school's fifth straight Class B state title. She played her first two seasons alongside current Husker sophomore Emily Cady at Seward.
Tvrdy, who was rated by ESPN as the No. 28 point guard in the nation in the class of 2013, was a teammate of Cady's and current Husker guard Sadie Murren on the Cornhusker Shooting Stars club team coached by Dan Lesoing. Hannah's father Tom was also an assistant coach for the Shooting Stars.
"Hannah is an unselfish guard with size. She can rebound and shoot and she has that 'Nebraska' blue-collar work ethic and toughness that we like," Nebraska Coach Connie Yori said. "She has been well-coached and is accustomed to competing for and winning championships. She is former teammates with some of our current Huskers, and that will help ease her transition to the Division I level."
Tvrdy said she chose Nebraska because it felt like home.
"When I visited I instantly fell in love with the program," Tvrdy said. "The coaches are wonderful, and I know they will push me every day to become a better player. When I met the team I knew I could fit in and have a great time playing with them. It just felt right, and I knew it was my future home."
Esther Ramacieri - 5-8, Guard, Repentigny, Canada
(Felix Leclerc/Dawson College)
Esther Ramacieri was the final commit to the Huskers' three-player recruiting class, choosing Nebraska in September after her official visit. Ramacieri is entering her second season of CEGEP at Dawson College. She will have four years of eligibility at Nebraska. Ramacieri helped Dawson to a first-place finish at Quebec's Provincial Championships in 2011-12 and a silver medal finish at the CCAA National Championships. She averaged 7.4 points and 3.2 rebounds per game, while helping Dawson to an 18-2 record.
Ramacieri was chosen as Felix Leclerc High School's athlete of the year four times. She was also selected as the most valuable player of her Dawson Community Blues club team in both 2009 and 2010. In 2010-11, Ramacieri started all 26 games for the Blues and averaged 16.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2.2 steals per game for Coach Terri Neill. Ramacieri played on bronze medal-winning teams for Quebec at the 2011 Canadian U-17 Championships and the 2008 Canadian U-15 Championships. She also helped her Lanaudiere club team to a silver medal at the 2007 Quebec Games. She served as the official flag bearer for Lanaudiere at the 2010 Quebec Games in Gatineau.
"On offense we like to play fast and Esther is an up-tempo type of guard," Nebraska Coach Connie Yori said. "Esther is a good on-ball defender and excels at pushing the ball in transition, which makes her a great fit for our system. She is athletic, competitive, an excellent ball-handler, and a hard worker. She can score off the dribble or shoot the three. She will help provide immediate depth in our backcourt."
Ramacieri will become the fourth Canadian to compete for the Huskers in women's basketball, following 2012 Canadian Olympian Chelsea Aubry (2004-07), Kaitlyn Burke (2008-12) and Harleen Sidhu (2009-12).
"I chose Nebraska because it was the best fit for me, as far as the school, academics, coaches and players," Ramacieri said. "Once I came on the visit, I knew there was no other place that could compare to Nebraska. It felt like I was a part of a family. I've wanted to play basketball in the states ever since I was six years old, so finding a perfect fit for me was a dream come true. Nebraska was the only place that felt like home."

Pirates Charities partners with Miracle League of Manasota to help build Miracle League Field for Manatee and Sarasota Counties03/04/2011 12:32 PM ET
Pirates Charities, the philanthropic arm of the Pittsburgh Pirates, and the Bradenton Boosters announced today that they have partnered with the Miracle League of Manasota to help build a Miracle League Field for Manatee and Sarasota Counties. As part of the ongoing partnership, Pirates Charities has committed $50,000 towards the construction of the baseball field designed specifically for children with special needs.
In addition, the Pirates will continue to play a key role in assisting Bob Mitchell, President of the Miracle League of Manasota, and other partners in the planning and construction of the project. Once constructed, Pirates players, coaches and alumni will actively participate in the games that the Miracle League program offers.
The new field, which will be located at Longwood Park off of University Highway, will be made of a flat rubberized surface to create a safe playing environment for every child. It will also feature ADA dugouts, an electronic scoreboard, a concession stand, a pavilion and restrooms.
This is the third Miracle League Field Project Pirates Charities has partnered to build, the first in its Southern home of Bradenton, Florida.
"A year ago I had the chance to meet with Bob (Mitchell) for the first time. I could see the passion and excitement in his eyes when we discussed this project and the impact it would have on the thousands of children with disabilities throughout this area," said Bob Nutting, Chairman of both the Pittsburgh Pirates and Pirates Charities. "The Miracle League program is one in which we are especially proud to support because it is much more than allowing children the opportunity to play organized baseball. This field will give these children and their families an opportunity to develop positive relationships with their peers and other families facing similar challenges."
Pirates Charities also played a lead role in the construction of the Pirates Charities Miracle League Filed in Cranberry Township, Pa., to benefit the Miracle League of Southwestern Pennsylvania and is playing a major role in the construction of the Miracle League of Ohio Valley field in Wheeling, W. Va., which will break ground in the near future.
The current goal of the Miracle League of Manasota is to begin construction this summer and begin play in the fall. Pirates Senior Director of Florida Operations Trevor Gooby serves on Board of the Miracle League of Manasota and is one of the area's principal supporters of Miracle League baseball.
Pirates Charities will present a $50,000 check to the Miracle League of Manasota before today's Pirates vs. Phillies game at McKechnie Field. Bob Nutting will present the check to Bob Mitchell, President of the Miracle League of Manasota, and Miracle League board chair Pete Ceccacci.
In 2010, the Pirates and Pirates Charities assisted more than 2,000 organizations. To learn more about Pirates positive impact in both the Pittsburgh and Bradenton communities, visit www.pirates.com/community.

NHTSA — Service Brakes, Hydraulic: Foundation Components: Disc: Rotor Problems
CarComplaints.com Notes: Most people need a car that shifts gears & coil springs that don't shred tires. The Taurus fails in that respect.
The 2003 Ford Taurus has major issues with the transmission failing. Typically the 2003 Taurus transmission failure costs $2,000 to fix by about 90k-100k miles. Not good.
Adding insult to injury, the 1999-2003 Taurus also has a huge problem with coil springs breaking which can puncture or even shred tires while driving.
The US government spent THREE YEARS (2008-2011) investigating the 2002-2003 Taurus coil springs. Although Taurus/Sable from earlier years were recalled, ultimately the NHTSA did not force a recall. They determined that because there had been no deaths & very few bad crashes & injuries, the broken coil springs defect was no big deal & not a safety defect. Tell that to all the owners who had close calls...

In a scene from the 1950s horror flick "The Alligator People," a newly married husband has disappeared. His heartbroken wife has tracked him down to the bayous of south Louisiana.
Then, in a scene that would have shocked movie audiences of the time, a horrible monster staggers out to face her — a mad scientist injected the husband with a serum that turned him into half-man, half-alligator.
In a scene from the 1950s horror flick "The Alligator People," a newly married husband has disappeared. His heartbroken wife has tracked him down to the bayous of south Louisiana.
Then, in a scene that would have shocked movie audiences of the time, a horrible monster staggers out to face her — a mad scientist injected the husband with a serum that turned him into half-man, half-alligator.
It's one of Nicholls State University archive staff member Emilie Pitre's favorite YouTube videos.
"To people back then, that would have been just terribly scary," Pitre said. "But to us, the way movies are now, it's just hilarious. You can see the zipper on the monster suit."
Pitre and the rest of the Nicholls archivists have movies on the mind at the moment. The school just opened a new exhibit, "Hollywood on the Bayou: An Exhibit of Louisiana Film History."
The exhibit shepherds visitors from the first movie theater in New Orleans to modern titles, all through the lens of Louisiana.
"Everything that's featured here is something from Louisiana," Pitre said. "It was either made here or parts of it was filmed here."
The exhibit revolves around dozens of mint-condition movie posters and advertisements. They range from a 110-year-old ad that hung in the office of Thomas Edison, credited with inventing the first movie technology, to posters for movies that just left the box office.
The posters come from the collection of Ed and Susan Poole, New Orleans-based collectors and authors of several books on the Louisiana movie industry.
Over years of research and visits to auction houses and sales, the Pooles have collected thousands of movie posters, some of great value. The Nicholls exhibit only shows off a tiny part of their collection.
"A lot of people don't realize how important Louisiana has been to the movie industry," Ed Poole said. "Before we began researching it, there wasn't anyone who was preserving that history, so we were losing it. We don't want that to happen."
Poole said Louisiana's landscapes — swamps, bayous and plantations — have long proved a tempting target for location shoots, ranging from movies such as the 1918 "Tarzan" movie to the 1951 "Streetcar Named by Desire" to the 2012 "Beasts of the Southern Wild."
"Louisiana was the center of the movie industry before California was," he said. "And we're a growing market today. There are things here that you just can't reproduce in a studio."
In addition to showcasing Louisiana's role in the film industry. The exhibit uses the posters to illustrate how movies have changed. For example, there's a poster for "The Kiss," a 47-second movie from 1896 that shows a man kissing a woman.
When the film debuted, it caused a national moral uproar, the exhibit explains. Church leaders and other officials called for a ban on the movie. In many places, it was only available upon request, something that happened frequently.
"It was a different time," Pitre said. "It's just unbelievable to us now that there could be such outrage about something like a kiss."
As the content of movies became freer, technology also improved. The exhibit shows a progression from primitive costumes — like the Alligator Man — to high-tech computer-generated monsters, explosions and other special effects.
The exhibit will soon include a reel of movie trailers through the generations.
Though the exhibit was only open in the past few days, Pitre said she's already given tours to several school groups.
"It's a great field trip," Pitre said. "We've got people coming down from New Orleans and from the local schools."
Poole said he's optimistic about Louisiana's future in show biz. The exhibit ends with a huge display showing hundreds of posters for movies filmed or produced in Louisiana in the past few years.
Poole said new tax credits and other changes have caused a boom in movie productions in Louisiana. The state had $345 million in new production in 2011, enough to rival California.
"If we can start to find a way to create the framework that surrounds movies — places to store sets and props, research places, things like that — we're going to become a real player here," Poole said. "I think the future of movies in Louisiana is very bright."

EAR COMMUNITYTo find out more about Ear Community and Microtia and Atresia, visit earcommunity.com, or visit Ear Community's Facebook page
Today, Broomfield resident Melissa Tumblin has answers. Lots of them. Enough answers to lead the Ear Community, an international support group and information clearinghouse that provides links to research, explains treatment options and provides a forum for families to ask questions and connect.
Ear Community recently hit a significant milestone when it gained nonprofit status with the help of the Broomfield Community Foundation. Ear Community is allowed to act as a 501c3 nonprofit organization under the temporary umbrella of the Broomfield Community Foundation until Ear Community officially gets federal tax ID number.
"I'm so grateful for their help," said Tumblin, who has been able to get legal and tax guidance from the Foundation in addition to nonprofit status.
Nonprofit status is critical to help raise money for Ear Community's ongoing education campaigns and future scholarships for families facing huge medical bills. It can take a year or more for organizations to gain nonprofit status, which is why the Broomfield Community Foundation stepped in to help as Tumblin waits for paperwork to be approved.
Karen Smith, the Foundation's executive director, said the board of directors heard about Tumblin's work with Ear Community and knew her work deserved support.
"They were impressed with her mission and passion," she said. "It's not just about what she wants to do, but what she has already accomplished on her own."
The past year has been busy for Tumblin, who travels extensively to raise awareness and connect people affected by Microtia and Atresia. The condition can cause deafness or hearing loss, and some people who have the condition have other birth defects that affect the bones in their face.
Tumblin hopes her work with Ear Community can bring her 3-year-old daughter, Ally, closer to a world more rich with sound.
Ally wears a hearing aid on a decorated headband, and also uses a radio hearing device while in school in order to better hear her teacher. She also follows the guidance of her older sister, Hailey.
Tumblin said Ally is finally getting old enough to understand that she hears things differently than other children. She calls her functioning ear her "open ear" and her underdeveloped ear her "closed ear" or "little ear."
While Tumblin tucked Ally into bed one night, Ally asked her mother a question.
"She asked me to open her other ear," she said.
Tumblin, who speaks at major industry and physicians' conferences, said raising her daughter put her in a unique position to help families.
"I can speak from my heart and my experiences," she said.
Tumblin works with surgeons and industry professionals to stay up to date on technology and treatments, often calling surgeons directly to ask for answers to parents' questions. She said she is constantly talking with parents who are worried, unsure or confused about their children's options for surgery or treatment.
In August, she spoke at a New Jersey medical conference sponsored by Oticon Medical, a major hearing aid manufacturer. Oticon, along with other hearing aid and medical device companies, helps sponsor Tumblin's nationwide summer picnics, which are another key piece of Ear Community's outreach.
The picnics "help to not only bring Microtia and Atresia families together so that they are not alone and can share experiences, but these picnics help educate them on all of their options where they are often all not brought up or mentioned in doctor appointments," she said.
At the picnics, parents get to meet plastic surgeons, audiologists and prosthetic experts face-to-face. Children get to meet others like them, and even try out different hearing aids on the market.
"It's amazing to see a child's face when they start to hear out of both ears for the first time. Some of them cry," she said. "It's so moving."
This year's summer picnics, which drew about 1,000 people, met in seven locations from Broomfield to Toronto to Yonkers, N.Y., to Webster, Texas.
Though picnic season is far away, Tumblin is already planning the next round of picnics for meet-ups in Spain, the United Kingdom and at home in the United States.
Tumblin also is hoping to grow her organization through donations. Money raised will help pay for future outreach events, scholarships for children with Microtia and Atresia, and donations to cover travel costs for families who need to travel for surgery.
Tumblin hopes to see the organization grow its reach in order to share information and resources, as well as heartfelt support.
"The entire organization is made up of individuals who hold Microtia and Atresia near and dear to their hearts, all from personal experience," she said.

At 79, Henry Gernhardt's hands have twisted, turned, pressed, pounded, painted and baked globs of earth into works of art for more than 73 years.
The artist, who now lives and works just outside of Cedar Key with his wife, Amy, grew up in rural Connecticut in a family he describes as being mostly engineers and mechanics.
"I just couldn't get into that," he says. "I always did things different."
So, Gernhardt started a formal education in the arts at Norwich Art School in the early 1950s.
