The College World Series has saved the best opening round matchup for last as third seeded Arkansas takes on sixth seeded LSU on Saturday night in a game with huge ramifications. The winner will find itself in an excellent position to reach the CWS championship series, needing just two victories. The loser will have to win four games in four days in stave off elimination and get to Saturday’s championship series. Both teams will throw their ace in tonight’s matchup.

What's next for topical comedy? Part 2 of Dave's deep dive looks at how Twittification almost killed the funny news industry.

When working with my teams, I often compare a product roadmap to an investment portfolio. Think of your roadmap as a reflection of how you’d manage your own investments. In a typical portfolio, you might have a 70/30 split between stocks and bonds. Bonds offer stability in a volatile market, while stocks provide potential upside — historically doubling in value every ten years but fluctuating unpredictably in the short term.
