I'm not sure that it's possible, at this point in history, to do more than approximate the impact and influence of Heinlein--which is a rather different proposition from producing work that emulates or pays tribute to him. All the writers cited have done the latter, with varying degrees of success. But the impact and influence (hereafter I&I, at the risk of putting a Rastafarian spin on it) was a function of Heinlein's particular talent and sensibility in the context of SF-as-it-was, say, 1939-60. In that 21 years, he demonstrated how to frame a science-fictional world, how to write snappy copy, how to juggle engineering and socio-political thinking within the framework of an adventure story. Everybody either went to school on Heinlein or at least acknowledged the importance of his approach. And the New Wave can be seen as a reaction to/rejection of his I&I.
The writer I'd say comes closest to a Heinlein-scale I&I after that period is William Gibson, who made two generations of writers try to match Neuromancer and its successors--not just the furniture and plot conventions of cyberpunk but the whole black-leather-and-mirrorshades Attitude. Just as the mix of libertarianism and traditional patriotism became the cultural hallmark of Heinleinistas (as distinct from fans/readers), that cyberpunk Attitude (amplified by more Attitudinous writers like John Shirley and Bruce Sterling) bled over into lifestyle territory.
I'm not sure what figure would fill that I&I slot for contemporary teenagers--the delivery systems for narrative are all over the place and the motif-hoard of SF has been broken into and scattered all across that story-telling space. If we include fantasy, J.K Rowling is probably the single most "influential" writer for younger readers, but I wonder whether her I&I isn't more a function of her audience's lack of familiarity with the traditions that she draws on--her work is (and I judge from the films rather than the novels, so I am prepared for a hail of old fruit and veggies) derivative rather than ground-breaking. The Rowling influence I see is mostly me-too opportunism rather than the exploration and expansion of territory opened by a pioneering artist.

I admit I wrote my hommage to RAH, JUPITER PROJECT, in his voice. It taught me a lot about writjng to do so, when I was trying to find my own voice. This is the often years-long wandering a writer does. Maybe Gibson arrived already sure, but I didn't and few do.
Varley is appealing exactly for the RAH resonances. I'd like to see him do something radical with such resonances, opening them up to our time, too.

I couldn't agree more - John Varley is the man (although Joe Haldeman would top my list as well.)
Scalzi's terrific, but Allen Steele has a real Heinlein vibe too. Spider I've always been conflicted by - I love him and his books, but really I can think of few SF authors who are less Heinlein-esque, stylistically. I think he's always on the RAH radar because he's arguable Heinlein's most outspoken fan.
Plus, what Russell said, above!
- Adrienne Martini said...
Dang, Russell. That was an astute analysis. I bow in your general direction.
So is it possible to know who has the greatest I&I during the period in which they are working the most? Or does it have to wait until we can get some distance on what they've done?
- Russell Letson said...
I'm sure that there are observers with high-gain antennas and sophisticated prognosticatory algorithms who can look into the seeds of time and say which grain will grow and which will not, but I'm not one of them--and my favorite restaurants close and my favorite TV shows get cancelled, too. So all my predictions are of past events, and I don't tell anybody how much I enjoy The Mentalist. Oops! Drat!
BTW, keep an eye on this promising young hard-SF guy named Niven--he has a couple interesting ideas about space habitats.
- scalzi said...
If you're discussing "new Heinleins" and you're not including Scott Westerfeld, you're doing it wrong. He's doing in YA right now what Heinlein was doing with his juvies a half century ago, and like Heinlein, his influence on that group of readers (and incipient writers) will continue on for a couple of decades.
- Robert Nowall said...
I don't think anybody can be Heinlein for me the way Heinlein was---I'm not ten years old anymore and it takes more to dazzle me than the way Heinlein dazzled me way back then. (I enjoyed "Saturn's Children," and I might seek out Stross's other works on the strength of that, but it was no "Space Cadet.")
But there are still ten-year-olds out there waiting to be dazzled...somebody's gotta do it. I wish I could...

Since we're talking big, perhaps-influential SF writers, I'll add Kim Stanley Robinson to the list. Closer to an odd blend of Gibson + Stapledon than to Heinlein, but powerful all the same.

I don't think there's any one particular writer you can point to, but steampunk as a subgenre seems to have the widest influence outside of core SF, spreading into odd corners of the culture, way beyond print, movies, TV, comics, gaming, and even affecting lifestyle choices, the way cyberpunk did in its day. There are website where you can buy steampunk clothing and jewelry, and I've seen kids dressing up in steampunk gear to go to Halloween parties. Almost all of the younger generations seem to know all about steampunk, even if they don't know much about print SF or even fantasy.

As always, it's an honor to have my work compared to Robert Heinlein's. And, as always, I'm tempted to run away as fast as I can.
The problem with being labeled "the next Heinlein" is much the same faced by a mainstream writer who has been called "the next Hemingway", a musician has been labeled "the next Dylan", or an artist who has been called "the next Picasso". The shadows cast by these figures are so enormous that it's impossible for anyone else to fill them, no matter how talented they may be. So their work inevitably suffers by comparison, unless they're lucky enough to be escape the label (as, for example, Bruce Springsteen was able to get out from under the "next Dylan" tag).
No one will ever be a "next Heinlein", just as there will never be a next Tolkien, a next Asimov, a next Clarke, or a next ... well, anyone else who changed the rules of the game. But what you *can* have are a cadre of writers whose work is clearly influenced by that of the master and who have been fortunate enough to inherit their audiences. This includes not only the writers who've already mentioned and those who haven't, but also those yet to come.

I wish I could agree about Steel Beach and The Golden Globe, but it's Varley's introduction of Heinleiners (and their starship-in-waiting, the "Robert A. Heinlein") that makes it impossible for me to enjoy rereading either novel. I'm a Varley fan since the 1970s, but I can't help but think he would have been better off not to mention Heinlein overtly.
Interesting comment from Gregory Benford above with respect to writing his early novel Jupiter Project "in [Heinlein's] voice." Reminds me of J.S. Bach writing Vivaldi transcriptions early in his career, and in turn thousands of music students trying to emulate Bach at some point in their studies (myself included, up through fugue writing in graduate school). There is obvious value in such a pursuit, but only up to a point.
- John Varley said...
This is kind of funny. A few years after Heinlein died, I noticed that no one had been named as the new "Dean of Science Fiction." It seemed to me that the vacancy should be filled, so at a convention I gave a speech nominating myself and made up a Letterman-type Top Ten list of reasons why it should be me.
#5. Dean Ing, Dean Koontz, Alan Dean Foster; too obvious.
#4. Harlan Ellison, 5'5". John Varley 6'6". Need I say more?
#3. Experience: Already Pope of Science Fiction in Bizarro Universe.
And so forth. It was well-received. But I notice the position is still open.
I agree with Allen Steele that there can never be a new Heinlein. I also think it's not a good idea to try too hard to emulate him. The best I always hope for is to capture something of his sense of wonder, but in my own voice.
BTW: There are seven Heinlein juvenile titles embedded in the last chapter of my most recent book, ROLLING THUNDER. That was fun to do.
- said...
I think the closest writer to capture Heinlein's stylistic posture and shared attitudes is John Varley. Haldeman gets a lot of it, too. Interesting that, as far as I know them, they don't truly share his political and social stances in detail. I don't either.
Probably the sf writer closest to RAH in views (though not in style) is Jerry Pournelle.
He knew RAH longer than I. I met RAH in 1969 and enjoyed his company a lot. Quite a guy. He encouraged me to think broadly, not specialize in my science, or indeed, in life. So I've worked in half a dozen fields, founded companies, served in the government (at the edge) and enjoyed doing so. RAH was a useful guide in life, just as I suspected when I read ROCKET SHIP GALILEO in 1950...

Dare I mention John Barnes' Jak Jinnaka series (THE DUKE OF URANIUM, PRINCESS OF THE AERIE, IN THE HALL OF THE MARTIAN KINGS)?
Overall, the books are in some respects heresy, and Barnes the anti-Heinlein. Think Heinlein juveniles written in an alternate universe where Heinlein was a Marxist.
No! Stop screaming! Don't run away! Barnes makes the books work as homage, as pastiche, and as antithesis to Heinlein's work. I found them as much fun to read as, well, Heinlein's juveniles. They're really pretty extraordinary.
-- Bruce Arthurs
- said...
Hell, in THIS universe Heinlein WAS a Marxist, or at least a socialist, early on in life!
Steele, Varley, Spider Robinson, and Haldeman, even Barnes and Stross, have all clearly been influenced strongly in different ways--but then, most of the PREVIOUS generation had been influenced by Heinlein too.
--Gardner Dozois
- said...
OK. I get how influential Heinlein was, and how fresh and snappy his works were ... through about 1959. My question: After that (excepting "The Moon is Harsh Mistress") ... why would we WANT a "new Heinlein" in that vein?
Sorry to be heretical, but the man's latter-day work was atrocious and self-absorbed.
But since you asked ... I think Varley is as good an analog to the GOOD Heinlein as we've seen.
C. Evans
- said...
If one could specify the Heinlein era or works that a "new Heinlein" ideally would emulate, I would choose the The Door into Summer and Double Star. To me it's a great shame that only two such well-structured "adult" Heinlein novels appeared; both of them are very economically told (as is his short story " 'All You Zombies--' " of the same era). However, I don't know whether novels that short are salable these days, the various late-career short novels of Philip Roth and Saul Bellow notwithstanding.

- Gary Farber said...
Respectfully, Gardner, the End Poverty in California (EPIC) movement that Heinlein worked in, and under whose name Heinlein unsuccessfully campaigned for election to the California Assembly, wasn't remotely Marxist in theory or practice.
It was socialist, certainly, but Marxism is only one narrow band of theory that, at times, overlaps with other socialist theory and history. Most socialists are not Marxists. They're not equivalent terms.

Kendrick Lamar rocks Grammy stage with Imagine Dragons
Listen to Kendrick Lamar on iHeartRadio | Listen to Imagine Dragons on iHeartRadio
Kendrick Lamar's trophy shelf isn't any more crowded after Sunday's Grammy Awards, but the emcee is still making waves for his outstanding performance. Compton's "good kid" took the stage alongside rockers Imagine Dragons to perform both Kendrick's "m.A.A.d. City" and Imagine Dragons' "Radioactive."
The performance rocked the crowd and even got country star Taylor Swift out of her front row seat and moving with the song's beat. As the performance hit TV screens across the nation, it also became one of the top trending topics on Twitter.

Re: If we cut McNair
It's a new season! It's a new day!
Re: If we cut McNair
We can't afford to let McNair go this off-season, but there needs to be an open competition."A moron, a rapist, and a Pittsburgh Steeler walk into a bar. He sits down and says, Hi Im Ben may I have a drink please?
Re: If we cut McNair
Okay now that we have had 24 hours to settle down. You must realize that cutting McNair is not a smart decision. He brought us several W's this season we definitely would not have had a chance of getting without someone so poised in the pocket.
I do believe that he has the arm strength to throw downfield, we haven't forgotten the pass in the KC game already have we?
We need to improve the O-line in the off season, whether it is through free agency or the draft we need either a Left OG and a right OG or a Right OG and a center, depending upon where Jason Brown plays next year. I thought Adam Terry did a pretty decent job filling in for Ogden the last two games of the season, but after re-watching today Ogden's domination of Freeney it was clear to me that he DOES NOT NEED TO, SHOULD NOT, and I HOPE WILL NOT retire.
We need an offensive coordinator and perhaps some redirection from the WR coach to call routes and plays that will enable us to get 1st downs. I grew so frustrated watching us run routes 3 yards shy of the 1st down marker - I used to think that was Fassel's fault cleary it was not. That needs to be rectified. Mason (while I don't support whining and throwing your teammates under the bus even your coach) had some good points about needing to open up the offense and allow deeper routes to be run. He needs to realize he has 2 other very talented receivers that he is sharing the catches with.
I think that we need to cut our losses with Jamal, due to cap room, even Samari, so that we can hopefully sign AD and get another corner in FA or start Prude. Hear me out - Jamal had his good plays recently but not consistently. The only thing he did consistently this season was leave yards on the field that would have contributed to more points and possibly even another win or two ( Carolina game comes to mind). Jamal can't be blamed for yesterday, how could he, he only had 13 touches in the game and only 4 in the second half. We completely abandoned the run, which was having more success in the second quarter as we began wearing them down. Remember Indy was the WORST team defensively against the run and instead we decide to give it up. Unexcusable! I hope that Besciotti reads many of the articles in the SUN as well as those reports on this site before he enters into his final meeting with Billick this season and asks some tough questions and demands some answers. I can't see how he can explain away some of the play calls, decisions, or lack of intensity that we saw yesterday. How can an offense loaf up to the line when they need 2 scores? They played with NO SENSE OF URGENCY and that had to be addressed by Billick at the half, on the sideline, etc. But CLEARLY it was never addressed!!
Time to start planning for the draft, I have already checked out the free aganets available.
Here's a thought...we trade Jamal Lewis to the Texans for their 1st round pick - not this year, but next then we draft Darren MCFadden!!!
Mike Anderson and Musa can handle the job for the next year or even two if he needs a year to get used to the system, that gives us explosiveness that we sadly did not see any of yesterday.
Re: If we cut McNair
McNair will not be cut. Everyone needs to suck it up and stop whinin about the loss. I'm mad as all hell but sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. If it wasn't for Steve McNair, we wouldn't have been 13-3. He'll be back next year, and the RAVENS are gonna come back with a vengeance. I still believe in Steve.DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS
Re: If we cut McNair
We will not cut McNair, period. He brings many more intangibles even if he had a bad game. I thought the whole offensive scheme yesterday was out of last year's play book.
Look, we had a good year, and both of the bye week teams lost. I hope the Patriots beat the Colts, again.
Re: If we cut McNair
Put down the pipe...McNair will NOT be cut. We need him to groom our next QB of the future (not Boller).M&T Bank Stadium - Section 513

Re: If we cut McNair
1. Big Kahuna is watching.
2. Slick Rick just might be a match for Billick when it comes to domination over what gets called. Neither Cavanaugh or Fassel had a chance in that department.ENFORCE THE 1ST AMENDMENT WITH THE SECOND, NEVER DISARM

SWINDON boss Alun Rossiter has confirmed the club have released 2012 Elite League-winning team member Simon Stead.
Rossiter and co-promoter Gary Patchett have worked though numerous permutations as they look to make a strong title defence next year, and Stead's departure is one of the toughest decisions they have taken.
Rossiter said: "It's never nice to tell a rider he's not required for next year, especially one who has been loyal to the club as Simon has been, but we have decided to go in a different direction with our team-building.
"I would like to thank him for his services to Swindon over the last four years, and we hope he'll get fixed up elsewhere quickly.
"We've already had other clubs on the 'phone enquiring about him and we wish him all the very best. It was a very difficult decision especially after the way we won the Grand Final, but these things do happen in speedway."
Meanwhile, the Robins have taken another major step forward with team planning for the defence of their Elite League title by snapping up talented youngster Nick Morris.
And the Excalibur Communications Robins have splashed the cash to make Morris a full asset after agreeing a deal with former Glasgow promoter Stewart Dickson.
It's a signal of intent and ambition from club bosses who rate Morris highly. He is also expected to double-up with a Premier League club.
Rossiter said: "This is great news for the club and Nick told us he wanted to stay before he went back to Australia.
"We are delighted to welcome him back in 2013 as a fully fledged Swindon asset and he is part of the future of this club."
Morris joins Peter Kildemand as a confirmed starter for the champions and the club are hoping to unveil a further addition to the side in the near future.

When was the workers's camp allowed to be set up at the Baan Jo water-treatment plant? They are housed inside the restricted area by the water's edge and the sheets of corrugated iron used for the accommodation is bright and new.Are they now going to contaminate this water as their own private swimming pool and toilet facility? Can the authorities not clear them out? Disgraceful.
I would like to ask the relevant road works department to paint a center line on the road from Thepkrasattri Road to the Phuket International Academy and the Thanyapura Sport Complex.It is just a matter of time before a student or visitor is hurt or killed by vehicles crossing over the middle of the road, into oncoming traffic. Having a center line to separate traffic would help to avoid this. Thank you.
Is there a government department that receives complaints about the pollution of fresh-water streams by people discharging cooking waste material � such as meat, vegetable, oil, rice and so on � into a stream so that the waterway becomes more like a sewer than a natural water course?
I hopefully should be returning to Phuket later in the year on a retirement visa. My question is that if I attend a Thai-language college to learn Thai, is it okay to do so on my retirement visa?I do not intend to work.
In an Issue & Answer posted on the Phuket Gazette website on November 22, Rawai Mayor Aroon Solos said that he would have his people check on the children's playground at the rest area at Nai Harn once every month (click here).He also said that he would inspect the area himself to make sure that the playground swings had been repaired and were no longer dangerous to children playing on them.I was happy for quite a while, but now just three months later, the condition of the swings are much worse than before. What happened?I don't care which people are responsible for what, and who in particular is responsible for the children's playground, but making the swings safe must be a top priority before a child is seriously hurt.
Every week, the problem with the cars and motorbikes parked along the road in front of the restaurants on the hills between Kata and Rawai gets worse.Every week, I see some form of an accident there because of the cars and motorbikes parked along the road.Are these restaurants legal? Can their guests just park along the road?
I currently hold a one-year Thai driving licence which will expire on June 20. How early can I renew this licence before it expires?I ask as I may need to leave Thailand for four months, from early May.Thank for your advice and assistance.
How long should it take for a work permit application to be processed? I am aware that the required non-immigrant B visa is valid for 90 days, but will a work permit application be processed before the permit-to-stay expires?Also, do applications for some professions take longer than others?And if I start work while waiting for my work permit to be issued, am I working illegally? What punitive measurements might I be liable to if working while waiting for my work permit to be issued?
The Heroines' Monument roundabout is closed to through traffic during rush hour, with cones set up further down the road so drivers can safely make a u-turn.However, there are no signs warning motorists that the lane ahead is closed and that they will have to move into the left lane.I have seen a car driving over the cones, and many, many times I have seen drivers brake hard and quickly swerve into the left lane to avoid hitting them.In my opinion, these "safety cones" create a far more dangerous environment than just keeping the circle open during rush hour.Is it too much to ask to have some signs a few hundred meters before the cones, saying: "Lane closed. Keep left." in Thai and English?
I recently bought two bean bag chairs from Index Living Mall. Within a couple of days they started to fall apart, the seams opened and all the contents of both started to fall out.Yesterday, I found the time to get them back to Index and ask for a solution to this problem.I was surprised to hear that they don't offer any quality warranty on their products and was told that the only way I could make an exchange is if the product is in good condition.All of my efforts to make customer service staff understand that I needed to exchange because of bad quality, not because I didn't like the color, was pointless.In the end, I was told that there is no quality warranty for any product in Index Living Mall.Does a government office or organization monitor companies like this? Shouldn't they be forced to offer some kind of quality assurance or at least have a big sign on entrance saying, "Anything you buy here has no guarantee." Although that wouldn't make much sense, as these days you can buy a US$5 product in China and still get warranty on it and the sellers actually honor the promise.Where can I complain about situations like this?
The road near Como Hotel at Cape Yamu used to have a few speed bumps, but in the last couple of weeks more and more have appeared, usually overnight.There are now 13 across the road once you turn off the main road by the 7/11 convenience store. Many are new, difficult to see, and not good for car and bike suspension.I appreciate road safety, but can just anyone make these across the road? And shouldn't they be clearly visible?
Beside the Escape de Phuket hotel on Pracha Uthit Soi 5 is a bridge. One side collapsed a few months ago, forcing the authorities to close it to traffic.But it was repaired poorly, and now a portion of the same side has subsided.Is there a "standard" for bridge repair?

No felony charges for Kanye West in LAX photog spat
Listen to Kanye West on iHeartRadio
Hip-hop superstar Kanye West won't be facing felony charges for his alleged run-in with a member of the paparazzi at Los Angeles International Airport.
L.A. County prosecutors have declined to file felony charges over the July 19th incident, but the case has been referred to the City Attorney's Office for possible misdemeanor charges.
West had been caught on camera scuffling with a photog who was apparently trying to take his picture after he arrived at the airport.
The D.A.'s office said there was insufficient evidence to charge the rapper with a felony.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. HistoryA rifle is a firearm that has a rifled barrel. It it featured in many, many video games, from Half-Life to Time Splitters. There are many different kinds of rifles; rifles may be bolt-action, semi-automatic, or fully automatic . Despite the centuries that the rifle has been used by armed forces, it remains a potent weapon. Unlike it's predesessor, the smoothbore musket, the rifle has a grooves cut into the inner part of the barrel. This gives the fired round a spin, similar to a thrown footbal, which gives it greater accuracy, range, and firepower. While rifiling was found at around the 17th century, it would not be until the Industrial Revolution that the Rifle became a standard issue weapon. Before machining, gun makers would spent hours making the grooves for each barrel. Machines however, do not tire and they cannot make defects.It would not be until the 20th century that rifles left their bolt-action and muzzle loading past and advanced by leaps and bounds. Rifles like the famous M1 Garand and the SVT-40 became standard issue in many armies and they soon began replacing their old rifles. The Germans however, were the first nation to create fully automatic assault rifles. Not constrained by the slow rate of fire of rifle or the poor accuracy and power of a sub-machine gun, the MP-44 revolutionized weapons were made. The Soviets followed quickly after with their instantly famous AK-47 which has spawned hundreds of variants in countless countries. Similarly, assault rifles like the M-16 and FN-FAL became benchmarks for weapons making in the Western World. Today, most first and second world nations have armed forces equipped almost exclusively with rifled weapons. In Video GamesAlmost all video games from Shooters to Real Time Strategy games set within the 20th century and beyond have rifled firearms. The most common of these is the assault and semi-automatic rifles. Unlike other more exotic weapons, rifles are generally "standard" or "beginning game" weapons which often leads to the player discarding them for a better, more powerful weapon.

Gennett Powers Brewers Past Rangers
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) _ Scooter Gennett homered twice, Marco Estrada worked six solid innings and the Milwaukee Brewers beat Texas 5-1 on Tuesday night, ending the Rangers' eight-game winning streak.
Khris Davis also homered for the Brewers. His solo shot in the seventh ricocheted high off the left-field pole and chased Alexi Ogando (5-4).
Gennett, a 23-year-old rookie second baseman listed at 157 pounds and playing only his 26th major league game, led off the third pulling a ball into the second deck of seats in right field.
Then in the fifth, the Brewers' No. 9 batter hit a two-run homer that landed in the seats under that for a 3-1 lead.
Estrada (5-4) allowed one run and four hits against AL West-leading Texas, which was coming off its first 9-1 trip in team history.
Milwaukee and Texas will conclude their brief two-game series Wednesday night on 1310 WIBA. Coverage starts at 6:30pm, with first pitch at 7:05pm.

Google Avoids Paying $1.6 Billion USD In Taxes, UK PM Speaks Out
Tiffany Kaiser

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: timebusinessblog.files.wordpress.com)
David Cameron, the Prime Minister of the UK, said that companies like Google are immorally minimizing tax bills
Google has managed to skip paying about $1.6 billion USD (£1 billion)
in taxes
by way of the island Bermuda -- and the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom isn't happy.
Google sent £6 billion through Bermuda over the course of last year, which halved its 2011 tax bill. In fact, Google funneled 80 percent of its global revenue through the island and ended up paying about £1 billion less to the government.
Google's Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt said this "is called capitalism."
"We pay lots of taxes; we pay them in the legally prescribed ways," said Schmidt. "I am very proud of the structure that we set up. We did it based on the incentives that the governments offered us to operate."
David Cameron, the Prime Minister of the UK, said that companies like Google are immorally minimizing tax bills and need to be stopped. He even wrote a letter to fellow leaders of the G8 requesting a global crackdown on tax avoidance for large companies such as Google and Starbucks.
"I do believe we all have a common interest in being able to tell our taxpayers who work hard and pay their fair share of taxes that we will make sure others do the same," wrote Cameron in an open letter to the G8.
Google's UK Head Matt Brittin said politicians are the ones who set tax rates, and that Google is playing by their rules.
Google funneled £2.6 billion of British revenue through Bermuda, which cut its UK tax bill by £200 million.
In April of last year, it was reported that
Apple made $9.5 billion USD
in Britain for 2011, but only paid 0.16 percent in taxes. Amazon was also targeted for its
headquarters in the tiny European Union nation of Luxembourg and Google's placement in
Ireland with subsidiaries in the Caribbean and Luxembourg for more tax dodging gains.
The New York Times
blamed Apple for dodging billions in taxes
in a lengthy article last year.

Although USC interim coach Bob Cantu lost his debut to No.21 Oregon on Thursday night, the Trojans players made the best of the situation. USC lost 76-74 but their point total was the third-highest of the season.
"We played loose and relaxed," center Omar Oraby said. "The rotations were a little different with Dewayne (Dedmon) and I playing together, but we were fine."
Oraby admitted, however, there were plenty of distractions during the week following Monday's firing of coach Kevin O'Neill.
"It's been hard with all the change and trying to adjust to a new coach," Oraby said. "But we'll be ready for Oregon State (today). I think we'll win."
The Trojans host the Beavers today at 5 p.m. at the Galen Center in a game that is important because the Trojans play three straight road games after today.
"At the end of the day, we have a lot of season left and a lot left to accomplish," said guard J.T. Terrell, who scored a season-high 22 points against Oregon.
USC (7-11, 2-3) almost pulled off two impressive victories, blowing out Utah last weekend and narrowly losing to Oregon.
"They played their best ball," Oregon coach Dana Altman said. "Actually, they did better against Utah. I wasn't surprised at all how they played."
Cantu praised the Trojans' effort against Oregon even though they lost.
"I'm happy we played hard and to the end," Cantu said. "We didn't give in. That would have been easy to do."
Slow starts
USC's recent basketball coaches are 1-6 in their first games, including Cantu's loss to Oregon. The only coach to win his opener was O'Neill, who defeated UC Riverside.
Quick hook
According to sources, O'Neill was fired Monday in a meeting that lasted about 20 seconds.
O'Neill and Cantu have not spoken since O'Neill was fired. O'Neill said Tuesday he didn't ask why he was fired and was not given a reason.

Dear diary: Zeros for M-Braves' Wood05/10/2013 1:14 AM ET
By Ashley Marshall / Special to MLB.com
Atlanta Braves prospect Alex Wood keeps track of his progress in a journal that he's been making notes in regularly since the start of Spring Training.
As with virtually all of his starts this year, Thursday's outing gave the second-rounder plenty of superlatives to scribble down.
Wood (2-1) allowed two hits and two walks while striking out five batters over seven innings in the Double-A Mississippi Braves' 5-0 win over the Montgomery Biscuits.
The southpaw threw 61 of 96 pitches for strikes, hit one batter and uncorked one wild pitch in lowering his ERA to a Southern League-best 0.47.
"I've never used one before," the Braves' No. 5 prospect said of the journal, "but when I got drafted last year, Geoff Miller, the team psychologist, recommended to me and a few other guys I played with in Rome, like Navery Moore, that we get one.
"I got it in Spring Training when I had the chance to learn from the big league guys on a daily basis. Now I usually write in it after every start. I put my line at the top and I write down notes about their hitters and how I went through their lineup and how they did and what I can do next time to better myself next time I face them."
On Thursday, Wood did not allow a runner to reach scoring position until the fifth inning. Riccio Torrez was hit by a pitch, he advanced to second on a wild pitch and advanced to third on Greg Sexton's groundout. But the left-hander retired Mayo Acosta to keep the Biscuits off the board.
Montgomery threatened again an inning later when Robi Estrada singled to center field and third baseman Edward Salcedo misplayed Mikie Mahtook's ground ball. But Wood once again escaped unharmed, retiring five of the final six batters he faced, including consecutive strikeouts to end his evening.
"I thought it was very good," Wood said. "I've had a little frustration throwing just four or five innings in my last two games even though I had not given up many runs. I'm glad I was able to go a little deeper into the ballgame.
"My fastball and changeup was good, but tonight was probably the first time I did not have my breaking ball the whole night. I located my fastball in and out pretty well and I got a lot of early contact, so there was really not much need for it."
The 6-foot-4 left-hander has been dominant in his first trip through the Southern League.
He has not allowed an earned run in 29 innings over five games, dating back to his second start of the season on April 12.
The 22-year-old Georgia product limited Mobile to one hit over five innings but didn't factor into the decision on April 6, but he took the loss in Birmingham six days later after allowing two runs over four innings.
Since then, he's cruised. He scattered four hits over seven scoreless frames against Jacksonville on April 17 and he struck out eight BayBears over six more shutout innings on April 22.
He earned his first win after putting up another five zeros in Huntsville in his fifth start of the year -- breaking Tommy Hanson's 2008 M-Braves record of 17 2/3 straight scoreless innings -- before seeing his streak come to an end when he allowed an unearned run to Tennessee on May 3.
"There's no secret, that's for sure. I'm shocked at myself," Wood said of his success. "It's just getting silly at this point. I can't explain it. I don't want to say my numbers aren't realistic, but over 150 games, nobody sticks the numbers that I've put up. I take it with a grain of salt."
Over 38 innings, Wood has struck out 43 batters and issued nine free passes. He has given up just 25 hits and he has yet to see allow a homer. His 0.89 WHIP ranks first in the Southern League, while his .179 opponents batting average ranks fourth.
Part of the success could be his routine. He wakes up at 9:30 a.m. every day and eats breakfast at 10:30. From there, it's a meal every three hours; a sandwich or piece of fruit at lunch at 1:30 p.m. and a good snack at 4:30 before a night game.
The day-to-day routine is part of the bigger schedule. The day after a start, he works out his lower body in the morning and strengthens his core. He trains with a weighted ball and throws from 90 feet to get shoulder work in.
On day two, the 2012 Braves draftee throws between 120 and 150 feet, and on the third day he throws 20 to 25 pitches in his bullpen session. Every day apart from the day immediately following a game, he also throws 10 or 15 pitches from a medium distance on flat ground.
The day before a start he watches what teammate JR Graham does on the mound. Wood follows Graham in the M-Braves' rotation and considering they are both fastball-first power pitchers, he likes to see how he attacks hitters. After the game, Wood speaks with Graham about his approach about what did and didn't work.
"I definitely had great success tonight," said Wood. "Guys in this league and at Double-A are good, so you can't really do the same thing twice. I didn't throw my breaking ball much tonight, so hopefully I can throw it in next time [I face Montgomery] for a different look."
On Thursday, Braves reliever Mark Lamm gave up a hit and a walk while striking out three batters over the final two innings to seal the win. Left fielder Kyle Russell hit a two-run homer, third baseman Edward Salcedo was 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored and first baseman Christian Marrero reached base three times and scored twice.

Connector Proposed to Boost San Antonio Interest in SH 130 Toll Road
So what would it take to get you to drive to Austin and northward on the new State Highway 130 toll road, rather than on Interstate 35?
The man who heads the State Highway 130 Concessions Company, the consortium of firms which operates the southern leg of the 119 mile toll road, thinks he has the answer.
"We need an additional connector to SH 130 to I-35," Joe Krier told 1200 WOAI news. "We are looking at building one of those somewhere north of New Braunfels."
Krier says currently, San Antonio motorists have to drive east on I-10 to Seguin to get onto SH 130, which frequently cancels out any time gained by avoiding the Interstate 35 congestion, or drive all the way to Kyle to get to a connecting route, by which time motorists are frequently already stuck in Austin area congestion.
"This way it would be easier to bypass the incredible Austin downtown traffic."
Lower than expected traffic volumes on State Highway 130 prompted a bond rating agency to downgrade the Concessions Company's long term debt.
Krier points out that tolls have been reduced for large commercial trucks to encourage them to take the toll road, and he predicts that as the recession falls away and more products are shipped, especially from Maquilladora plants in Mexico into the U.S., SH 130 traffic will pick up.
He says projected increases in Interstate 35 traffic will be the biggest advertisement for the advantages of taking the toll road.
"Pressure on traffic, accidents and fatal accidents on 35, simply requires that we find an alternative that is safe, dependable, and, more importantly, predictable from a time standpoint," he said.

So the next evening Tiger Claw turned up again.We went through some basic techniques
which of course,during training he resisted each technique we were pracising as if his life depended on it.
It was difficult for his training partner,who as a beginner was probably wondering if any of the techniques i was
teaching would actually work in reality,as before he got a chance to learn them properly,he was trying to
apply them to a fully resisting opponent,and,as we all know,techniques need drilling many times before becoming
second nature enough to work in sparring.
It came to sparring,and i again went through the rules,singling Tiger Claw by looking directly at him and saying,
while demonstrating by putting my own fingers in my eyes then wagging my fingers in a "NO!" gesture,that
Fingers in eyes were not allowed.
I had a feeling this guy was a little dangerous so i decided the best course of action was to go with him myself rather
than risk the beginners health and/or eyesight.
I started by jumping to guard,which i feel is the least aggresive way of starting a grappling match and often
calms the nerves of a beginner,rather than a clinch and shove fight for top position.
Tigerclaw entered my guard and began putting his hands in my chin and face and generally thrashing around
being uncontrolled.I broke his posture and he kept trying to regain it by pushing my face.
I probably should have swept him but he was pushing my face with an outstretched straight arm so i slowly and methodically gripped his
right tricep with my right hand and his right wrist with my left hand and escaped my hips into an arm bar.Rather than cranking it on,i made sure my
left leg was completely bent to 90 degrees around his neck with my ankle pushing down towards the mat,so i had a very good leg grip on him.
He stood up and tried to shake me off and i,ever so slowly-really gently over the course of about 5 seconds applied more and more pressure to the arm bar with him wildly
trying to shake me off and me just hanging there wondering why he wasn't tapping because by this point although i had applied the lock slowly and gently it was now on quite
hard.I kept pulling in a 'linear' fashion i.e. Not jerking it dangerously (i didn't want to damage him), and eventually (perhaps 10 seconds after first applying it) Tiger Claw howled like a scalded cat and i immediately released him,dropping to the floor (i had actuallly been hanging off his arm,but with a great grip).He then walked off the matt swearing in Spanish and rubbing his elbow.
I said "My friend,you must tap",although i don't think he was listening,or would have understood if he was.
Another couple of Rounds went by and Tiger Claw was still waiting for another round so i decided to put him with Marcus the Stunt Man who is i think a 6th Dan TKD
master and a very well respected 35 year old Hollywood Stuntman,who was responsible for the fighting in such films as the latest Bourne.
Marcus has dabbled in many arts,done a tiny bit of shootfighting and mma but is a BJJ beginner.He picks things up FAST though.
Anyway Marcus basically and methodically starts destroying TigerClaw with great technique,in a controlled fashion and ends up mounted on him.
To secure the position he did what i had taught him and crawled up into a high mount and put his arms out wide and his head on the floor so he had 3
points of contact with the ground,to secure the position before deciding if it was safe to move onto a submission attempt.
From here Tiger Claw put his finger right in Marcus' eyes really hard.
I saw a split second of anger flash through the usually completely calm Marcus' face-well somone was trying to blind him.
And then it happened,a moment of superb technique from an absolute beginner-Marcus span,putting his leg across Tiger Claws Neck and
Slid down his outstretched left arm as if the arm was a firestation pole.He landed with his crotch right against Tiger Claws shoulder and
sat back onto the most almighty arm bar i have seen for ages.He had SO much leverage-Tigerclaws Elbow was above Marcus' solarplexus.
As the Arm Bar went on i yelled "NO!" and surely saved Tiger Claw from a broken arm.The Lock,even though it was not fully applied
had TigerClaw scream again and he jumped up,this time rubbing his left elbow furiously.
I thought at that point it was best to finish the class.TigerClaw got changed quickly and left without doing any of his explosive Forms with animal sound effects this time.

Click a word on the left and the definition will appear here:
Albumin: This major protein constituent of blood is often given to individuals who need to retain more fluid in their bloodstream, such as burn victims or patients with liver failure or extremely heavy bleeding (hemorrhage). Albumin (along with clotting factors, growth factors, and immunoglobulins) is sometimes referred to as a minor blood fraction. If you are a Jehovah's Witness, whether or not you can accept treatment with a minor blood fraction may be considered an individual "matter of conscience."
Allogeneic blood: Blood donated from another individual, which is typically stored and then provided through a transfusion. Jehovah's Witnesses do not accept allogenic blood.
Anemia: A condition in which an individual's blood can't supply an appropriate amount of oxygen to their organs and tissues, either due to a low volume of blood, too few red blood cells in the blood, or too little hemoglobin or iron in the red blood cells. Patients who are suffering from severe anemia are sometimes more difficult to manage, unless they are treated by a team that is very experienced in transfusion-free medicine.
Apheresis: A process used to obtain blood components (such as platelets) from a donor. The blood is removed from the donor, the necessary cells are harvested and retained, and the donor's plasma is returned to the donor. Donated platelets are considered a major blood fraction and are not acceptable to Jehovah's Witnesses. However, "therapeutic apheresis" may be acceptable to some Jehovah's Witnesses because it is a treatment performed on the patient's own blood.
Blood banking: This is when blood is donated by a person for their own use or a specific individual's use at a later time. It is usually done because of fear that donor blood will not be available or might have contaminants, or because the person has a rare blood type. This procedure is not "bloodless medicine" because it involves blood storage and blood transfusions.
Blood salvage: Blood salvage procedures collect blood lost during or after surgery. A variety of methods may be used to collect blood, including suction and drainage devices. The devices that are used are sometimes called "cell savers." Those who object to blood transfusions may feel comfortable with "closed loop" blood salvage, where the blood is never stored and retains a semblance of connection to the patient at all times.
Cautery: Deliberate surgical destruction of tissue, either because the tissue is abnormal or to seal off a bleeding area. Cautery is a method of reducing bleeding during transfusion-free surgery. It may be achieved through heat, freezing, chemical scarring, electricity, light, and ultrasonic or microwave energy.
Cell savers: Devices that capture and hold blood during or after surgery, so that the blood can be returned to the patient.
Clotting: The complex chain of chemical events that produces a plug (clot) at the site of bleeding. It is important for a patient undergoing transfusion-free surgery to have good clotting ability, in order to reduce bleeding/blood loss. Certain medications may interfere with clotting, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs; anticoagulants (such as Coumadin); vitamin E; and herbal preparations containing garlic or ginkgo biloba.
Clotting factors: Chemicals that circulate in the blood and interact together to help cause blood clotting at the site of an injury.
Coagulation: The conversion of liquid (blood) into a somewhat solid plug that can prevent further bleeding from a particular site.
Colloidal solutions: Intravenous fluid solutions that contain water, salts, sugars, and protein. They may be given to replace the fluids, salts, and sugars that you will invariably lose during the course of surgery. Some colloidal solutions contain albumin -- a protein whose use is a matter of personal conscience for Jehovah's Witnesses.
Cryosurgery: A surgical technique that uses extreme cold to destroy abnormal tissues in the body. It is sometimes used as a bloodless medicine technique -- by freezing tissue, bleeding is minimized.
Crystalloid solutions: Intravenous fluid solutions that contain water, salts, and sugars. They may be given to replace the fluids, salts, and sugars that you will invariably lose during the course of surgery. Jehovah's Witnesses find cystalloid solutions such as Ringer's lactate and normal and hypertonic saline acceptable therapy.
Donor: A person who gives blood. The donated blood may be stored and distributed to hospitals and medical centers to be given to a patient when needed (as a transfusion). When a patient receives whole blood in this way, this is considered traditional medicine -- NOT "bloodless medicine." However, donated blood may be used to harvest blood components that may be used during some bloodless procedures.
Embolotherapy: Refers to various methods of blocking a bleeding blood vessel, preventing further blood loss. These include chemical agents that scar the inside of the blood vessel; mechanical agents that block a bleeding vessel, including metal coils and latex or silicone balloons; particles or microspheres, including gelatin foam; and injected liquid that quickly turns into a thicker gel-like or spongy mass to prevent bleeding from a vessel.
Endoscopy: A scope that can be used to visualize the inside of the body, either through insertion into a tiny incision or by passing the scope through a body opening (such as the mouth or anus). Endoscopy is used to examine, biopsy, or surgically treat a variety of conditions. Types of endoscopy include arthroscopy (joints); bronchoscopy (bronchial tubes, lungs); colonoscopy/sigmoidoscopy (large intestine); colposcopy (vagina, cervix); gastroscopy (stomach, small intestine); laparoscopy (abdomen); and others. Endoscopy is considered a "minimally invasive" procedure, which results in reduced bleeding. It is therefore a valuable bloodless medicine technique.
Erythropoietin: Erythropoietin is the name of a chemical normally produced by your body, primarily by your kidneys. Erythropoietin stimulates the bone marrow to produce red blood cells. Laboratory-made synthetic erythropoietin (e.g., Procrit, Epoetin alfa, Epogen, or Aranesp) may be administered prior to a bloodless surgery procedure in order to maximize your bone marrow's production of red blood cells. Other synthetic chemicals that mimic the activity of erythropoietin are in development.
Fibrin glue: A substance made from human clotting factors. These clotting factors can be harvested from donor blood plasma or from a patient's own blood plasma. Fibrin glue can be applied to a bleeding vessel. It both blocks the vessel from bleeding and activates normal clotting/coagulation activity. Because fibrin glue is made from blood products, each individual will need to examine their own conscience to decide if its use is personally acceptable.
Fluid expanders: Intravenous fluid solutions that are used to increase the volume of fluid in the circulating blood. The result is that when you bleed during surgery, your diluted blood contains a lower concentration of red blood cells.
Gamma knife: A high-tech surgical tool that can be used for brain surgery. This technique utilizes a powerful and precise form of radiation to destroy tumors or abnormal blood vessels with less blood loss than a traditional scalpel.
Harmonic scalpel: A surgical tool that uses ultrasound waves to cut tissue and seal bleeding vessels at the same time -- a helpful characteristic in transfusion-free surgery, because it helps keep blood loss to a minimum.
Hemodilution: The process of making blood more dilute than normal. The result is that when you bleed during surgery, your diluted blood contains a lower concentration of red blood cells.
Hemoglobin: A chemical within red blood cells that allows oxygen to be carried throughout the body.
Hemophilia: A disease in which the blood clotting system is defective, resulting in an increased likelihood of serious bleeding after even minor injury.
Hemorrhage: Heavy bleeding.
Hemostasis: To stop bleeding.
Hyperbaric: To be at higher-than-normal atmospheric pressure. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is used in some facilities to assist bloodless medicine in certain situations. You enter a chamber and breathe pressurized oxygen, which concentrates oxygen in your blood.
Hyperoxic: Having higher-than-normal oxygen saturation.
Hypotensive: Having low blood pressure. Hypotensive anesthesia is a technique that lowers a patient's blood pressure below normal during surgery. Blood loss tends to be slower when your blood pressure is low. However, blood pressure must be maintained at a particular threshold to ensure that all of your body's organs and tissues are receiving blood, so the practice of hypotensive anesthesia requires great skill and extraordinarily careful monitoring.
Intraoperative: During the course of an operation.
Iron: A nutrient that is required by your red blood cells for good oxygen-carrying capacity. Iron is important for bloodless surgery and can be obtained from dietary sources like red meat or through supplements, such as ferrous sulfate or ferrous gluconate.
Kidney dialysis: A procedure in which the blood is cleansed of toxins through an outside machine, replacing work that the kidneys normally do.
Laparoscopy: A surgical technique in which a lighted scope is inserted into a tiny incision in the abdomen. Laparoscopy can be used to visualize the inside of the abdomen for diagnosis, to retrieve tissue samples for biopsy, and to perform surgery using tiny instruments that are also passed into the abdomen through tiny "keyhole" incisions. Laparoscopy is considered a "minimally invasive" procedure, which results in reduced bleeding and may therefore be valuable for bloodless treatment of some conditions.
Laser surgery: A surgical technique that uses the energy from light to cut through tissues. It can reduce bleeding compared to traditional scalpels and may therefore be valuable for bloodless treatment of some conditions.
Major fractions: Blood products containing plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Jehovah's Witnesses do not accept major blood fractions as part of any treatment.
Mediastinal autotransfusion: A procedure performed most commonly after heart surgery, in which the fluids (including blood) that collect in the chest during and after surgery are collected and then given back to the patient through an IV.
Minimally invasive surgery: Procedures that use small surgical cuts and holes, or no cuts at all. These methods can greatly reduce the amount of bleeding and are therefore of great importance to bloodless medicine. An example is endoscopy, which uses scopes inserted into small cuts or body openings. Another example is lithotripsy, which uses sound waves to break up a kidney or other stone into smaller bits, allowing it to pass out of the urinary system without having created any incision at all.
Minor fractions: Blood products containing clotting factors, albumin, growth factors, and immunoglobulins. Some Jehovah's Witnesses accept minor blood fractions as an individual "matter of conscience."
Normothermia: Normal body temperature.
Normovolemia: All people maintain a particular volume of fluid circulating throughout their bodies; this is referred to as "normovolemia." During surgery, you will be given balanced intravenous solutions (volume expanders) to replace the fluids, salts, and sugars that you will invariably lose during the course of surgery.
Oximeter: A device that monitors the amount of oxygen carried by the hemoglobin in red blood cells. In bloodless medicine, any blood a patient loses is not replaced by transfusion, so it is extremely important to monitor how much oxygen the patient's body is receiving from the remaining blood.
Plasma: The fluid component of blood, in which the various types of blood cells are suspended. Jehovah's Witnesses consider plasma to be a major blood fraction and do not consider it to be an acceptable part of treatment.
Plasmapheresis: A type of apheresis that is used to separate plasma from blood. Blood is removed from a donor, the plasma is harvested and retained, and the donor's blood cells are returned to him or her. Plasmapheresis may also be performed on a patient's own blood as a treatment for certain conditions.
Platelet: A component of blood responsible for blood clotting at the point of an injury to a blood vessel. Without platelets, our blood would not be able to clot and hemorrhaging or uncontrolled bleeding would result. Platelets are considered a major blood fraction and are not acceptable to Jehovah's Witnesses as part of any treatment.
Platelet gel: A concentrate made from a patient's own blood plasma, mixed with calcium and clotting compounds produced in cows. Platelet gel concentrates can be applied during the course of surgery to control bleeding. As with fibrin glue, platelet gel concentrates are produced from plasma, so their use by some individuals is a matter of conscience.
Primary blood components: Red cells, white cells, plasma, and platelets (also called major fractions). Jehovah's Witnesses do not accept primary blood components (major fractions) as part of any treatment.
Procuren solution: A solution made from an individual's own blood. The growth factors in the patient's own platelets are harvested, and reproduced in a laboratory to create the procuren solution. This solution is then applied to a wound to improve healing capacity and shorten duration of healing.
RBC nuclear scan: A test in which the individual's own red blood cells are harvested, tagged with radioactive material, and then returned to the individual. Imaging scans are then performed that will highlight areas of bleeding, because the tagged red blood cells will be seen leaking from these areas.
Scalpel: Originally, a scalpel was a very sharp, small knife used to perform surgery. Now a scalpel can use a variety of energy sources to cut through tissue, including light (laser scalpel), microwaves (microwave-coagulating scalpel), ultrasonic energy (ultrasonic and harmonic scalpels), and radiation (gamma knife).
Stereotactic/Stereotaxic: A technique for locating the exact area needing treatment by using advanced imaging techniques that verify the three-dimensional coordinates of the abnormal area. By pinpointing the exact area, the surgeon can minimize the amount of cutting (and hence bleeding) that occurs during surgery.
Transfusion: The delivery of blood products to an individual to replace blood that is lost during surgery or from injury. The blood or blood products are usually donated anonymously or through blood banking, then stored until the time they are needed. At that point, the blood products are administered through an intravenous (IV) line into a patient's vein. A blood transfusion is what bloodless medicine seeks to avoid.
Ventilation: To provide a patient with oxygen.
WBC nuclear scan: A test in which an individual's own white blood cells are harvested, tagged with radioactive material, and then returned to the individual. Imaging scans are then performed that will highlight areas of infection, because the tagged white blood cells will migrate to these areas.

EVERETT — This may be as symbolic a ground breaking as you can get.
Various Everett city leaders gathered Wednesday to help plant a pin oak tree to commemorate the planting of the Evergreen Arboretum's first pin oak 50 years ago.
A similar cast of characters showed up to shovel dirt Wednesday to fill in the hole surrounding the pin oak. This cast closely mirrored the ground breakers of April 11, 1963: the city's mayor, the city's parks director, the arboretum's board president, the Snohomish Master Gardener Program coordinator, added to illustrate their importance, and the president of the Everett Garden Club.
It was the Everett Garden Club who got the arboretum started, and the people who made it happen were remembered Wednesday.
"And the planting of today's pin oak is also a reminder that we are taking the next step in helping to achieve the founders' vision — a vision that has guided the creation, expansion and sustenance of these hallowed grounds," parks director Paul Kaftanski said.
The tree planting ceremony was also the public nod to the arboretum's future expansion project.
Plans are in the works for developing the last vacant piece of property in the arboretum's south end. Plans include a new expanded rain garden, a bog garden, a native plant border, more Japanese maples and a grove which will be a meditation area.
Those plans, colloquially called "The Completion" by the arboretum board members, is estimated to cost $250,000, which includes engineering, site prep, a new path and plants. The project will be done in phases, with construction expected to be complete by 2014.
At the members' annual meeting, the Evergreen Arboretum &Gardens Foundation pledged $30,000 to begin the fundraising drive to help complete the arboretum's original footprint.
Though the arboretum's footprint started with that first pin oak, that actual arboretum site got moved.
The first pin oak doesn't stand in the arboretum property but instead is a landmark for golfers at the 10th hole in what is today Legion Park Memorial Golf Course. When Everett leaders reconfigured and expanded the golf course, the arboretum's size was cut by more than half, and the pin oak wound up on the golf course side.
The arboretum sits beside the golf course on Alverson Boulevard. Its size is limited to about 3.5 acres since the golf course gobbled up most of the land.
Though small, Everett's arboretum is a living museum, incorporating a sculpture garden and 10 theme gardens that inspire people to learn more about a variety of plants, from conifers and Japanese maples to perennials and native species.
Some of its 10 themed gardens include the Urban Tree Walk, Rock Garden, Northwest Native Plant Trail, Rain Garden, Japanese Maple Grove, and the 200-foot Snohomish County Master Gardener's Demonstration Border.
The arboretum's pavilion sits at the head of the expansion area and is where many weddings and other important ceremonies take place.
"This is a place of reflection," Mayor Ray Stephanson said while standing in the gazebo. "It's a place of weddings and of special times in people's lives."
Kaftanski called the pavilion the takeoff point for the next half-acre to the south.
"The work ahead will be an incredible gift to the Everett community. And today's pin oak planting ushers in that beautiful future," Kaftanski said.
Libbie Soden, board president of the Evergreen Arboretum &Gardens Foundation, reminded guests that they can go to the arboretum website http://www.evergreenarboretum.com/ and vote for the arboretum to help it win a $5,000 gift from Lamoureux Real Estate, which is offering 25 local, nonprofit organizations the opportunity to win a share of a $25,000 donation to celebrate the agency's 25 years of service.
Voting is open until September.
Before the dirt was thrown onto the pin oak's roots, Kaftanski reminded those gathered to "stay true to the vision" of what the arboretum is: a place of plant education but also a place that has enriched the city.
"Thank you for attending today," Kaftanski said. "And thank you for loving this place."

The option '-f' has been split into '-i' for input- and '-o' for output-files.
By replacing -f to -i its importing passwords now.
