conference

Jonathan Singer of Carson City, now playing golf as a freshman at Adelphi University, was named Northeast-10 Conference Freshman of the Week on Tuesday.

There's still plenty of buzz over what happened this past weekend at John L. Harvey Field when the Western Nevada College baseball team pulled off a four-game sweep of College of Southern Nevada.

It's been a long road back, but the Western Nevada College baseball team has now gained an inside track to the Scenic West Athletic Conference regular season championship with three weeks to go.

Former Western Nevada College star Brian Barnett was named the Verizon Western Athletic Conference Hitter of the Week for his performance this past week for the University of Nevada baseball team against Seattle University and St. Mary's.

The Legislative Commission’s Subcommittee to Review Regulations will meet tomorrow afternoon to discuss the fate of the controversial “Real ID” in Nevada.
Citing concerns with both privacy and cost, numerous organizations have come out against the requirements of the REAL ID Act of 2005 including the ACLU, Americans for Tax Reform, Gun Owners of America, Gun Owners of Nevada, Campaign for Liberty, the Cato Institute, National Immigration Law Center and the National Network to End Domestic Violence.

To beat any conference leader, a team needs to bring its "A" Game to the field. Make that "A-plus" if you want to beat a team that is ranked No. 2 in the nation, and even then, it still doesn't hurt to have a little luck on your side.
The Western Nevada College baseball team was successful on both of those counts Friday afternoon to beat College of Southern Nevada twice on the last pitch of the game during a Scenic West Athletic Conference showdown.

This morning in a statewide media conference call moderated by the Nevada News Bureau, candidate Brian Sandoval fielded questions on numerous issues including the 2003 Supreme Court ruling on the two-thirds legislative supermajority needed to increase taxes, tax policy, the Tax Pledge, budget cuts and higher education salaries, renewable energy mandates and the state’s health care reform lawsuit.

CARSON CITY – A Las Vegas attorney running for attorney general as a Republican against Democrat incumbent Catherine Cortez Masto, and who called for a State Bar investigation into her release of a letter to the press about a potential legal challenge to the federal health care law, is now himself the subject of a bar inquiry.
Attorney Jacob Hafter called the inquiry ridiculous.
“It just shows the type of protection these incumbents have,” he said.

A daunting task awaits the Western Nevada College baseball team when instate rival College of Southern Nevada comes to John L. Harvey Field this weekend.
CSN is the nation's No. 1 ranked team and has a three-game lead over the Wildcats in the race for the Scenic West Athletic Conference regular season title. The first place Coyotes are 21-3 in the SWAC while WNC (30-9) is 18-6.
 

Offense was the name of the game during the University of Nevada-New Mexico State baseball series and nothing changed in the final game on Sunday afternoon when the two Western Athletic Conference teams battled to a 10-10 tie in Las Cruces, N.M.

Winning baseball games away from home in the Scenic West Athletic Conference is never an easy chore. And nothing came easy for Western Nevada College while taking both ends of its doubleheader against the College of Eastern Utah on Saturday.

Once again, Western Nevada College was one inning away from an important Scenic West Athletic Conference softball win. However, the Wildcats were unable to slam the door shut as North Idaho College rallied to score twice in the top of the seventh inning to pull out a 7-6 victory on Saturday afternoon. 

The University of Nevada jumped to a 7-1 lead after three innings but was unable to hold the lead, falling 11-7 to New Mexico State in the Western Athletic Conference opener for both schools on Friday in Las Cruces, N.M.

The North Idaho College softball team was downright offensive against Western Nevada College on Friday afternoon at Edmonds Sports Complex.

Four attorneys with ties to the issues and parties of Nevada’s health care reform lawsuit gave their perspectives to media and political bloggers during a Nevada News Bureau-hosted conference call this afternoon.
Mark Hutchison, lead counsel for Governor Gibbons’ newly retained pro-bono team, said he plans to participate in a conference with US District Court Judge Roger Vinson next week as part of the process to join Florida and other states in an amended complaint challenging the federal government on provisions in the recently passed health care legislation.

CARSON CITY – Nevada has crafted the proper policies of low taxes and small government that has helped it weather the current recession, and these same policies have positioned the state to respond favorably when the economic recovery takes hold, according to a report released today by the American Legislative Exchange Council.

The recently-passed health insurance reform bill will lead to major changes for Nevada’s Medicaid program.

Now that the Western Nevada College baseball team has taken over second place in the Scenic West Athleitc Conference, one could say that the Wildcats find themselves in a pennant race.
But WNC coach D.J. Whittemore isn' ready to declare his team is in a pennant race, yet. "It kind of feels like were chasing a ghost," said Whittemore about College of Southern Nevada.

The Western Nevada College softball team picked up a much needed win that likely kept its playoff hopes alive.
After losing the first three games in its series at Colorado Northwestern, the Wildcats pulled out a 4-3 win in the nightcap of a doubleheader on Saturday. WNC lost the opener 4-2.
WNC (5-29, 4-24) is now tied with Colorado Northwestern with four wins in the Scenic West Athletic Conference. WNC and Colorodo Northwestern finished 4-4 against each other in conference play.

WNC finished off a four-game sweep at Colorado Northwestern Community College on Saturday by winning both games of a doubleheader. The Wildcats won the opener 15-0 and then in a scheduled nine-inning game, had to score four runs in the ninth inning to pull out an 8-4 win.
The Wildcats (26-9) moved into second place in the Scenic West Athletic Conference after College of Southern Nevada took three of four games from Salt Lake Community College this weekend. WNC is 14-6 in the SWAC and trails CSN (17-3) by three games. Salt Lake fell to 12-7 in the SWAC.
  
 

While nothing can be taken for granted, there's no away around it. These are four wins the Western Nevada College baseball team is expected to pick up.
So when snow threatened to postpone one or both games on Friday at Colorado Northwestern Community College, the Wildcats had to be worried. These are wins that WNC needs in the Scenic West Athletic Conference and any games that are lost and not made up could obviously be costly in the SWAC race.

It was a frustrating day for the Western Nevada College softball team, which dropped a doubleheader on Friday at Colorado Northwestern Community College in Scenic West Athletic Conference action.
 
WNC (4-28, 3-23) lost the opener 4-3 and the nightcap 7-5. The Wildcats fell in the nightcap when Colorado Northwestern hit a two-out, game-winning two-run home run in the bottom of the seventh inning to break a 5-5 tie.

The Nevada Commission on Tourism has updated its strategic plan for attracting visitors, combining cost-effective new initiatives and time-tested programs with proven track records, Lt. Gov. Brian K. Krolicki said Tuesday.

The agency (http://travelnevada.com) will target U.S. consumer markets that have large populations with convenient driving distance or easy air access to Nevada and international markets whose travelers have a strong likelihood of visiting Nevada, such as Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom and Germany, said Krolicki, Nevada's tourism commission chair.

In the Scenic West Athletic Conference, where three of the seven softball teams are ranked in the top 20 nationally, wins have been hard to come by for the second-year Western Nevada College squad.

The peaks and valleys of a season can take its toll on any team, so Western Nevada College baseball coach D.J. Whittemore is trying to make sure that his club doesn't become too high or too low.
Whittemore said he has told his team "not to ride the roller coaster." But Whittemore admitted his mood has improved after a four-game sweep of then first place Salt Lake Community College this past weekend in the Scenic West Athletic Conference. "Yeah, I'm feeling a lot better," Whittemore said.

University of Nevada designated hitter Brock Stassi was named the Verizon Wireless Western Athletic Conference Baseball Hitter of the Week on Monday.
