<p><strong>Beach Day At Peccole:</strong> Saturday is Beach Day at  Peccole Park when the Wolf Pack hosts Fresno State at 1 p.m.  Bring your  beach towel, sunscreen and come out and get your tan on while cheering  on the Pack.  Concessions will be selling $1 hot dogs through the sixth  inning.  One hot dog at a time, but get in line as many times as you can  for these yummy dogs.</p>
<p><strong>Nevada Hosts Fresno State This Weekend:</strong><br />
Nevada  (22-18, 4-2 WAC) hosts Fresno State (17-20, 1-5 WAC) in a three-game  Western Athletic Conference series this weekend at Peccole Park.   Friday&#8217;s game gets underway at 6 p.m. with first pitch set for 1 p.m. on  Saturday and Sunday.<br />
FS leads the series with the Pack 78-46 and  in WAC play 34-22.  In Reno the Pack holds a 14-12 advantage in  WAC games.  The Bulldogs won all four meetings played last season in  Fresno, Calif.</p>
<p><strong>Powers Earns 900th Victory:</strong> Nevada&#8217;s 10-5 victory over San Francisco on April 17 was the 900th for Wolf Pack head coach <a href="http://www.nevadawolfpack.com/sports/m-basebl/mtt/powers_gary00.html">Gary Powers</a>.   All of Powers wins have come in his 30 seasons directing the Nevada  baseball program.  His now 902 victories ranks 21st among active NCAA I  coaches.</p>
<p><strong>Scorekeepers Nightmare: </strong> In  back-to-back Tuesday games with Oregon State on Apr. 10 and San  Francisco on Apr. 17 the teams combined to use 83 players.  In the game  with Oregon State the Pack used 22 players and the Beavers 18 for a  combined total of 40 Nevada used 10 pitchers and OSU six.  The Beavers  won 10-7 in 10 innings.<br />
The 40 players were surpassed in the  contest with San Francisco as 43 players took the field.  Nevada once  again had 22 players see action while the Dons played 21.  Each team  used seven pitchers in a game won 10-5 by the Pack.<br />
In the most  recent Tuesday game with Pacific on Apr. 24 the teams combined to use 38  players.  Nevada played 21 and the Tigers 18.</p>
<p><strong>Klein Named WAC Hitter of the Week:</strong> Nevada outfielder <a href="http://www.nevadawolfpack.com/sports/m-basebl/mtt/klein_brooks00.html">Brooks Klein</a> has been named the Verizon Western Athletic Conference Baseball Hitter  of the Week, for April 16-22.  It was the second time this season he has  earned the honor.<br />
Klein, a junior from Blue Diamond, Nev.  (Western Nevada College), hit .353 (6-for-17) with five runs scored,  nine RBI, two doubles, a triple and two home runs starting all four  games in right field. His on-base percentage was .333 with a slugging  percentage of .941. In Tuesday&#8217;s game with San Francisco, he was 1-for-5  with the lone hit being a grand slam. After going hitless in game one  at Sacramento State, he had multi hits in the final two games. Saturday,  Klein was 2-for-3 with two runs scored, two RBI and both hits were  doubles. Sunday, he went 3-for-5 with two runs scored and three RBI. His  second hit of the day was a two-run homer and the third hit was an RBI  triple, helping the Pack to a win in the series finale.</p>
<p><strong>Gardner Closing It Out:</strong> Senior <a href="http://www.nevadawolfpack.com/sports/m-basebl/mtt/gardner_matt00.html">Matt Gardner</a> has been the Pack&#8217;s closer the last two seasons and will leave his mark  on the Nevada record book when his career is completed.  Gardner&#8217;s nine  saves is tied for first in the WAC and 16th nationally.  He saved the  last two games of the LA Tech series and could have earned a save in all  three but after two walks to start the ninth in the first game he was  lifted from the game.<br />
The nine saves are tied with Zak Basch  (2003) for third best season in Nevada history.  Rico Lagattuta (1995)  and Tyler Graham (2010) top the list with 10.<br />
Gardner&#8217;s 15 career  saves is tied for second in school history with Luke Drakulich  (1996-99) while Rico Lagattuta&#8217;s (1993-96) 24 tops the list.</p>
<p><strong>Team Notes:</strong> The Wolf Pack is 22-18 and 6-4 in its last 10 games &#8230;  The Pack have  six more wins after 40 games this season, 22-18 compared to a year ago  16-24  &#8230;  Nevada&#8217;s RPI of 65 is the second highest in the WAC behind  NMSU&#8217;s 20 according to the NCAA  &#8230;  Of the Pack&#8217;s 20 home runs 10 have  been solo shots of which four lead off an inning  &#8230;  Nevada swept a  series for the first time this year taking all three WAC games at home  from LA Tech  &#8230; In Tuesday&#8217;s 15-4 victory over Pacific the Wolf Pack  scored a season-high 15 runs on a season-high 20 hits, of the 20 hits  nine went for extra bases, four doubles, three triples and two home  runs  &#8230;  The Pack&#8217;s 36 total bases vs. Pacific (4/24) is tied with  NMSU for the most in a game by a WAC team this season  &#8230;  Nevada&#8217;s 21  triples is more than twice as many as any other WAC team as New Mexico  State has eight  &#8230; In the latest NCAA rankings Nevada is 12th in  triples and triples per game  &#8230;  The Pack is 1-2 in extra inning  contests, 8-9 in one-run games and 8-6 in games decided by five or more  runs  &#8230; Nevada ranks second in hitting (.290), fourth in pitching  (4.03) and fourth fielding (.970) in the WAC  &#8230; After nine WAC games  Nevada is third in hitting (.277), third in ERA (3.71) and seventh in  fielding (.962) in conference play  &#8230; In the preseason coaches&#8217; poll  Nevada and New Mexico State were picked to finish in a tie for fourth   &#8230; Nevada has won seven-of-10 three-game series this year  &#8230; Nevada&#8217;s  eight road wins this season is more than all last year when the Pack  were 6-19 away from Reno.</p>

<p>I appeal to you as a soldier to spare me the  humiliation of seeing my regiment march to meet the enemy and I not  share its dangers.<br />
<a href="http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/g/georgearms317728.html">George Armstrong Custer</a></p>

<a href="http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/g/georgearms317730.html">George Armstrong Custer</a></p>
<p>My purpose is to make my narrative as truthful as possible.<br />
<a href="http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/g/georgearms182146.html">George Armstrong Custer</a></p>
<p>There are not enough Indians in the world to defeat the Seventh Cavalry.<br />
<a href="http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/g/georgearms182145.html">George Armstrong Custer</a></p>
<p>You ask me if I will not be glad when the last battle  is fought, so far as the country is concerned I, of course, must wish  for peace, and will be glad when the war is ended, but if I answer for  myself alone, I must say that I shall regret to see the war end.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>And I came close to losing a part of my foot on two  occasions. I hope I&#8217;m consistently lucky and that the next time I  develop a blister or step on something sharp, that I don&#8217;t go as far as I  did on those two times.<br />
<a href="http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/m/marytylerm361098.html">Mary Tyler Moore</a></p>
<p>And that&#8217;s what the audience was feeling too, as they  watched the show and as they watch it now. And overriding all of that  is the way it was written. It was written honestly. There was never any  manufactured laugh. There was never compromising of character.<br />
<a href="http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/m/marytylerm361099.html">Mary Tyler Moore</a></p>
<p>And the sculptor woman was so clever in the way she  did it. She had the beret just about to leave my hand. So it&#8217;s attached  to this finger and that&#8217;s what will keep it there. And I&#8217;m looking up at  it, so there&#8217;s no question but that that beret is going to fly.<br />
<a href="http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/m/marytylerm361100.html">Mary Tyler Moore</a></p>
<p>And then Dick called and said, I&#8217;m going to do a  special called Dick Van Dyke and the other woman, that would be you,  because every time I try to check into a hotel with my wife, they look  at me as though I&#8217;m cheating on Laura.<br />
<a href="http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/m/marytylerm361101.html">Mary Tyler Moore</a></p>
<p>But I&#8217;m very happy with my life the way it has been  turning out. A little time in the country, a little time with the  animals and working on behalf of them.<br />
<a href="http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/m/marytylerm361103.html">Mary Tyler Moore</a></p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know how to do the other, so I won&#8217;t even consider television until the audience&#8217;s taste changes.<br />
<a href="http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/m/marytylerm361104.html">Mary Tyler Moore</a></p>
<p>I just like the continue doing what I&#8217;ve been doing. A  melange of funny, straight drama, television, movies, a little theater  here and there wouldn&#8217;t hurt. So if I can keep doing that, I&#8217;ll be a  very happy person.<br />
<a href="http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/m/marytylerm361105.html">Mary Tyler Moore</a></p>
<p>I live in a kind of controlled awareness. I wouldn&#8217;t  call it fear, but it&#8217;s an awareness. I know I have a responsibility to  behave in a certain way. I&#8217;m able to do that.<br />
<a href="http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/m/marytylerm361106.html">Mary Tyler Moore</a></p>
<p>I live in New York simply because I don&#8217;t know any  better. I moved there when the show went off the air a couple of years  after that.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Assessing property boundaries is  both an art and a science. Disputes regarding property boundaries can arise for  a number of reasons. Properties can be difficult to survey. Rough terrain and  human error may lead to miscalculation. Older boundaries may have been  determined with poor instrumentation.</p>
<p>One common boundary-related  problem occurs when a gap of land — known in the surveying industry as a  hiatus — is found between properties and does not belong to either party. These  gaps, as well as boundary overlaps, tend to occur when properties are resurveyed  and discrepancies are found in either a subsequent survey (the junior survey) or  with the original survey (the senior survey).</p>
<p>The federal courts have settled  many property boundary disputes. Over time, established procedures have evolved  for resolving these discrepancies.</p>
<p>In U.S. v. Weyerhaeuser Company  (1967), the 9th Circuit Court decided that discrepancies in surveys did  not matter and that the original monuments — the permanently placed survey  markers in the ground — marked the boundary, and any resulting hiatus was deemed  public land. The courts have consistently determined that hiatus land shall  remain in the public domain.</p>
<p>Cases regarding overlaps are more  complicated. Courts have consistently said that when two officially  accepted surveys conflict, and the result is an overlap, the survey that is  senior in time takes precedent.</p>
<p>When it comes to court cases involving  property rights, the concept of &#8220;first in time, first in right&#8221; is firmly  established. In Wirth v. Branson (1878), the U.S. Supreme Court made it clear  that once a property had been patented — title of ownership confirmed by the  government — the government cannot convey that land to any second party.</p>

<p>Speed eating legend Takeru Kobayashi has set a new record, this time setting a new benchmark for the most Twinkies eaten in one minute.</p>
<p>The Japanese competitive eater managed to scoff 14 of the cream filled sponge cakes on set of the Wendy Williams Show in New York, USA earlier today.</p>
<p>Today&#8217;s record adds to Kobayashi&#8217;s five other Guinness World Record titles (Fastest time to eat a bowl of pasta, most hamburgers eaten in three minutes, most hot dogs eaten in 12 minutes, most hot dogs eaten in 3 minutes, and most meatballs eaten in one minute).</p>

<p>Mortgage rates were back to hitting record lows again, pushing housing  affordability even higher to home buyers, Freddie Mac reports in its  weekly mortgage market survey. For the sixth consecutive week, the  30-year fixed-rate mortgage, the most popular choice among buyers, has  averaged below 4 percent — unheard of until a few weeks ago.</p>
<p>&#8220;Mortgage rates eased slightly this week to all-time record lows  following mixed indicators in the labor market,” Frank Nothaft, chief  economist at Freddie Mac, said in a statement. The economy added 1.6  million jobs in 2011 — the highest number since 2006 — but overall  unemployment still remains high, Nothaft noted.</p>
<p>Here’s a closer look at rates and the new record lows they posted for the week ending Jan. 12:</p>
<ul>
<li> <strong>30-year fixed-rate mortgages: </strong>averaged 3.89 percent,  with an average 0.7 point, reaching a new all-time low. Previously,  30-year mortgages’ record low was last week’s 3.91 percent average. A  year ago at this time, 30-year rates averaged 4.71 percent.</li>
<li> <strong>15-year fixed-rate mortgages: </strong>averaged 3.16 percent,  with an average 0.8 point, dropping from last week’s 3.23 percent  average. Last year at this time, 15-year rates averaged 4.08 percent.</li>
<li> <strong>5-year adjustable-rate mortgages: </strong>averaged 2.82  percent, with an average 0.7 point, dropping from last week’s 2.86  percent average. Last year at this time, 5-year ARMs averaged 3.72  percent.</li>
<li> <strong>1-year ARMs: </strong>averaged 2.76 percent, with an average  0.6 point, this week, falling from last week’s 2.80 percent average. A  year ago, 1-year ARMs averaged 3.23 percent.</li>

<p>I&#8217;m happy with the coach we have. I think any one of the ones I asked them to consider would&#8217;ve been good.<br />

<p>I&#8217;ve had many a player tell me all through high  school and right up until signing day that they were coming to Alabama,  then they signed with somebody else.<br />

<p>If I miss coaching that much, I could go to some  little school where they didn&#8217;t recruit, where all the kids wanted to  go. I believe I could find somewhere to coach.<br />

<p>It&#8217;s been years since I&#8217;ve had a real input in the  game anyway. For this game, I&#8217;ve just tried to keep all the other stuff  away from the players and coaches.<br />

<p>Nearly every coach I&#8217;ve talked with tells me that the  attention you get from media and other people is the thing you miss  most. I don&#8217;t know if that&#8217;s right.<br />

<p>Never quit. It is the easiest cop-out in the world.  Set a goal and don&#8217;t quit until you attain it. When you do attain it,  set another goal, and don&#8217;t quit until you reach it. Never quit.<br />

<p>The fun never goes out, but it changes with the years, with winning and losing.<br />
