Cingrani strong as Blaze extend streak
Reds prospect allows one hit, fans eight in six shutout frames
By David Heck / Special to MLB.com | April 26, 2012 10:14 PM ET
The Reds' No. 14 prospect surrendered just one hit over six shutout innings as the Class A Advanced Bakersfield Blaze defeated the Stockton Ports, 8-1, for their 10th consecutive win.
"It's been the whole team [contributing]," Cingrani said."It's different guys every time. It's fun."
The outing marked the third time in four starts that Cingrani has held his opponent without a run, giving him a California League-leading 0.39 ERA. In his one loss, he yielded two runs -- one earned -- in four innings to the San Jose Giants.
"I'm just throwing the fastball in spots," Cingrani said. "It's my favorite pitch to throw. Luckily, I've had some good defense behind me and I'm striking out a bunch of people. I'm just trying to keep them off base. Luckily, there hasn't been a wind-blown home run yet."
Cingrani had little trouble from the start of Thursday's contest, working around a two-out walk in the first to retire eight of the first nine batters he faced. The only hit he gave up came with two outs in the third, when Myrio Richard doubled to center field, but the 22-year-old left-hander got out of the frame by inducing a flyout off the bat of Ryan Pineda.
"I threw a fastball I think he took for a strike and a fastball he swung at, might've been a foul tip, for a strike," Cingrani said. "I tried to elevate it, but I put it right in his wheelhouse and he hit it right in the gap for a double."
The Rice University product was nearly perfect after that. The only runner to reach base over the final three innings was Pineda, who got on board with two outs in the sixth on a fielding error by shortstop Billy Hamilton.
Overall, Cingrani fanned at least one batter in five of his six innings, including three frames in which he struck out two. He ended the game with eight punchouts, bringing his season total to 28 in 23 innings.
Donald Lutz enjoyed a strong offensive performance for the Blaze, collecting a homer, a triple and two RBIs. Hamilton, the Reds' No. 2 prospect, went 3-for-4 with four steals, two runs scored and an RBI out of the leadoff spot. After swiping 103 bases last year, he already leads the league by 11 with 23 steals this season.
"He got to first in the first inning, stole second, stole third and scored on a dropped third strike," Cingrani said. "He creates things in a baseball game I've never seen before. He's a couple levels above people. I've never seen someone like that before."
The Blaze will look to keep their streak going in Modesto, where they will take on the division-rival Nuts for the first time this season. Modesto currently owns a 9-12 record, 4.5 games behind Bakersfield in the California League North Division.
"Everybody's got to keep working hard," Cingrani said. "Just keep going out every day and having fun. Not get too high, not get too low. Keep going out, putting up the numbers that we're putting up, and we'll be good."

text: It is going to be a busy week for attorney Jeff Herman, who said at a press conference yesterday that he will be filing three similar sexual abuse lawsuits against three high profile Hollywood power players that are on par with Bryan Singer. He will also name drop some very high profile A list actors who attended the parties where the sexual abuse took place. I expect that anyone who has ever been to one of these parties is dreading having their activities come to light and publicists will be working overtime next week to spin it however they can. Yesterday afternoon, Bryan Singer's attorney said they are planning on filing a countersuit, presumably for defamation, but that is going to be really tough to prove. I'm sure that the accuser, Michael Egan will not be the only person to say they were a victim at some of these parties, whether Bryan Singer was there or not. I'm actually shocked Gloria Allred hasn't announced that she has signed up a bunch of people and had her own press conference. If the allegations are proved does this put Singer in the same group of pariah directors as Roman Polanski and Woody Allen? Will stars like Hugh Jackman continue to star in movies directed by Singer?

4/20 Resolution tabled at April 2011 Senate meeting
WGGE Resolution on the Formation of the Committee on Research and Graduate Education (WGGE)
Whereas, the Working Group on Graduate Education, in cooperation with the Senate Executive Committee, negotiated an agreement with Graduate Division regarding the oversight of new graduate education programs and policies, and that task will necessarily fall to a Manoa Faculty Senate standing committee; and
Whereas, the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs works with the Committee on Academic Policy and Planning (CAPP) and the Vice Chancellor for Research and Graduate Education works with the Committee on Research, which would, moreover, seem better able than CAPP to accommodate an expanded charge; and
Whereas, effective review of newly proposed graduate education programs and policies requires a senate committee that contains people collectively familiar with the full range of graduate programs and the potential impact of new policies on those programs; and
Whereas, current and past graduate chairs are most likely to have the relevant experience; and
Whereas, current and past graduate chairs will be able to represent most accurately the interests of the programs they represent if their constituencies are organized, as far as possible, to respect the natural affinities existing between the graduate programs offered by different departments; and
Whereas, graduate students have a legitimate interest in being represented on any committee charged with the oversight of changes to graduate education policy;
Therefore, be it resolved that, effective August 2011, the Manoa Faculty Senate's Committee on Research will be reconfigured as the Committee on Research and Graduate Education, containing no fewer than twelve members--at least six of whom will be Senators, one will be a GSO-appointed graduate student representative, and at least five will be non-Senators who serve, or have served, as graduate chairs within their departments.
Be it also resolved that Senator and non-Senator membership shall inclusively represent eight graduate education constituencies, and that it will be part of each representative's responsibility to consider not only the program needs of their own departments, but also those of other departments within their constituencies.
Appendix: The eight graduate education constituencies to be represented on CoRGE
1) College of Arts and Humanities, School of Hawaiian Knowledge, School of Pacific & Asian Studies
2) College of Languages, Linguistics and Literatures
3) College of Social Sciences, Social Work
4) College of Natural Sciences, SOEST

A piece of Cleveland's history is open today
(Cleveland) -- A piece of Cleveland's transportation history is open to the public Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. It's the annual Veterans Memorial Bridge and Subway Station Tour, giving you an opportunity to see where electric streetcars ran as they crossed over the Cuyahoga River, at least until they stopped 59 years ago.
Cuyahoga County Public Works Director Bonnie Teeuwen tells WTAM 1100 this is a rare glimpse for the general public of where streetcars ran on the lower level of the bridge as they crossed from West 25th and Detroit over toward Public Square. Part of the experience includes seeing the actual subway stop on the west side, which was the last stop for the streetcars before they went under the bridge.
You can walk the entire length of the bridge underneath, and then Teeuwen suggests a walk back on the top level to look at the public art along the upper level.
The lower level of the bridge was closed when Cleveland streetcars stopped running in 1954.
The free tour is self-guided. Teeuwen says there's free parking at the County Public Works office off West 25th Street north of Detroit Avenue.

smartKPIs.com Performance Architect update 33/2010
From Canon to HP: values, objectives and press releases
In my previous blog post I reviewed the approach Canon Inc. has to strategic planning and how its actions reflect the corporate strategic direction. While researching the topic I came across the Hewlett-Packard Company (HP) website. HP is considered today the world's largest IT company, with 304,000 employees worldwide, 1 billion customers in 170 countries, revenue totaling $114.6 billion for fiscal 2009 (HP, 2010a) and a market capitalization of $86.81 billion (Google Finance).
For the last few weeks HP has been in a turmoil with the abrupt resignation of the CEO, so I started comparing the press releases of the two companies for the month of August 2010:
Canon, 2010 (4 releases for the period, I have selected 3 in the list below):
- Aug 16, 2010: Canon products selected for prestigious EISA awards in Europe
- Aug 13, 2010: Canon Aids Rain-Disaster Relief Efforts in China
- Aug 6, 2010: Canon Aids Flooding Relief Efforts in Pakistan
HP, 2010b (15 press releases for the period, I have selected 6 in the list below):
- Aug 16, 2010: HP Awarded $200 Million Contract to Maintain Medicare Part B Claims Processing System
- Aug 12, 2010: HP Achieves Recognition for Excellence in Tech Support and Services for Third Consecutive Year
- Aug 6, 2010: HP CEO Mark Hurd Resigns; CFO Cathie Lesjak Appointed Interim CEO; HP Announces Preliminary Results and Raises Full-year Outlook
- Aug 3, 2010: HP Identified as Leader in Leading Analyst Firm's Magic Quadrant Report for MFPs and Printers
- Aug 2, 2010: HP Announces Settlement with U.S. Department of Justice
- Aug 2, 2010: HP Helps Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association Improve Operational Efficiency, Reduce Carbon Footprint
In the case of Canon, as my previous blog post "Canon – kyosei, humanity and excellence" illustrated, empirical observations of secondary data available on the company website suggest alignment between the corporate philosophy, actions and results.
The situation is different in the case of HP. The corporate philosophy lists the usual elements you would expect to find (HP, 2010c):
- Passion for customers - We put our customers first in everything we do.
- Trust and respect for individuals - We work together to create a culture of inclusion built on trust, respect and dignity for all.
- Achievement and contribution - We strive for excellence in all we do; each person's contribution is critical to our success.
- Results through teamwork - We effectively collaborate, always looking for more efficient ways to serve our customers.
- Speed and agility - We are resourceful and adaptable, and we achieve results faster than our competitors.
- Meaningful innovation - We are the technology company that invents the useful and the significant.
- Uncompromising integrity - We are open, honest and direct in our dealings.
Even the objectives of the organization have some similarities to the ones from Canon, such as leadership and global citizenship. However, according to HP, they were first written in 1957 by co-founders Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard:
- Customer loyalty - We earn customer respect and loyalty by consistently providing the highest quality and value.
- Profit - We achieve sufficient profit to finance growth, create value for our shareholders and achieve our corporate objectives.
- Growth - We recognize and seize opportunities for growth that builds upon our strengths and competencies.
- Market leadership - We lead in the marketplace by developing and delivering useful and innovative products, services and solutions.
- Commitment to employees - We demonstrate our commitment to employees by promoting and rewarding based on performance and by creating a work environment that reflects our values.
- Leadership capability - We develop leaders at all levels who achieve business results, exemplify our values and lead us to grow and win.
- Global citizenship - We fulfill our responsibility to society by being an economic, intellectual and social asset to each country and community where we do business.
When it comes to how HP press releases reflect these statements, a mixed picture emerges. A settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice (regarding an award schedule contract investigation) and the resignation of the CEO (after a sexual harassment probe uncovered subterfuge with company expenses) are actions largely misaligned with the stated values and objectives. No doubt HP is a successful company. Its financial results, commercial performance and innovation capability all contribute to making it the number 1 IT company in the world.
However the question of how important is the alignment between the corporate philosophy (vision, values, objectives) and actions is a valid one. Further research would be useful to uncover these relationships. Or perhaps only time will tell.

HTC unveils two new Windows Phones
NEW YORK -- IPhone 5 fever may be upon us but Apple's chief rivals aren't exactly standing idly by. On Wednesday, just two days before the new iPhone becomes available, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer joined HTC CEO Peter Chou at an event in Manhattan to unveil two new Windows Phones, officially dubbed the Windows Phone 8X by HTC and the Windows Phone 8S by HTC.
The former has a 4.3-inch high definition display; the latter a 4-inch lower resolution display. Both rely on Beats Audio technology. Donning Beats headphones connected to the 8X at the event, Katy Perry boomed through loud and clear for me. The 8X has an especially ultra-wide-angle front facing camera lens that would let you show the friends crowding around you, and not just your own face.
HTC is positioning the devices as the "signature" Windows Phone 8 devices, though I'm sure another key Microsoft partner, Nokia, might beg to differ. The "uni-body" HTC phones come in a variety of colors and are built around Microsoft's Windows Phone "Live Tile" software interface
The 8X is coming to the U.S. market in November from AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon Wireless. The 8S is also expected in November. Prices were not announced.
Also on Wednesday, LG chose New York City to show off its new flagship Android device, the Optimus G, that had been announced a day earlier in Seoul, Korea. It's built around a powerful "quad-core" Qualcomm processor that among other stunts will let you show off two different screens on 4.7-inch display at one time. It's due out in the fourth quarter.
Not to be outdone, Samsung announced that the Galaxy Note II, the second version of its "phablet" device with a mammoth 5.5-inch high-def display, would go on sale in the U.S. before the holidays. It will run on the fastest networks from AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon and U.S. Cellular. I was skeptical of the first Galaxy Note when it first appeared but came to appreciate the device the more that I used it. The new Note II, like its predecessor, relies on a pressure-sensitive so-called S Pen device and S Pen apps for taking notes, cropping and clipping portions of the screen and more. It will run the latest version of Android, known as Jelly Bean.
Gartner analyst Michael Gartenberg says all the new announcements are getting lost in the midst of iPhone madness. "But there's more to the holiday season than an iPhone launch," he says. "And it's clear that Microsoft in particular is ceding this market to absolutely no one, partnering very closely with both Nokia and...HTC."
Gartenberg says the key question is whether, "Microsoft and their partners can tell a story to consumers and get them to think about buying something else for the holidays."
It's not out of the question. "A lot of consumers may be saying it's time for something different. ... Right now the iPhone 5 is the product to beat. (But) because of the velocity of mobile, how quickly things are changing in this space, everything is up in the air. And what this holiday season is really setting up is how the market is going to look in 2013. Lets not forget -- RIM (BlackBerry) may be on the sidelines now but they plan on getting back in the game in January."

Fields of Interest
Cytokinesis, polarization of the cytoskeleton.
Academic Profile
Our laboratory's research is in a sub-area of cell biology. Specifically, we are interested in how cells change shape or form and how that is precisely regulated using the cytoskeleton. Molecular motors using cytoskeletal tracks are required for such intracellular movements as cytokinesis, endocytosis, exocytosis, axonal transport and organellar movement in general. Although motors are required, many relatively basic questions are unanswered. A critically important cell shape change under investigation is cytokinesis, the division of the cytoplasm during mitosis that is mediated by an actin-myosin based contractile ring in the cleavage furrow. One of the outstanding questions in the study of cell division is how timing and placement of the contractile ring is coupled to mitotic controls. Using micromanipulation, reverse genetics, as well as biochemical approaches in dividing echinoderm eggs, we have sought to determine how the timing of cytokinesis is coupled to the mitotic cycle. These experiments suggest that the timing of cytokinesis is a function of the delivery of a positive cleavage stimulus to the cortical cytoskeleton. At present, we are investigating the nature of the stimulus from the mitotic apparatus astral microtubules and associated plus end binding proteins and the equatorial cell cortex. Further analyses on the signaling machinery associated with the equatorial plasma membrane and how second messengers direct changes in specific effector molecules.
A second line of research deals with the underrepresentation of minority students in the sciences. Specific studies are under way regarding the barriers to participation by American Indians in biomedical research and opportunities for minority scientists in the study of the ethical, legal, and social implications of genomic research.

Fuld, A's rough up Carrasco to top Tribe
GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Sam Fuld scored two runs on two singles and a walk, leading the Oakland Athletics over the Cleveland Indians 13-3 on Wednesday.
The center fielder has scored 13 runs in 12 games as the A's leadoff hitter.
Yoenis Cespedes, who snapped an 0 for 23 slump Monday, drove in a run in Oakland's two-run fifth inning against Carlos Carrasco, who is trying to earn the final opening in the Indians' rotation.
Carrasco followed starter Danny Salazar and inherited a 3-0 lead. Carrasco gave up eight runs -- five earned -- in 2 2/3 innings.
"We had a couple times where we didn't convert a play but then we didn't limit the damage," Cleveland manager Terry Francona said. "Worked away from his fastball a little bit. Frustrating outing. The good part is it is spring training but we're looking for him to build. It's a little disappointing."
Top shortstop prospect Francisco Lindor doubled and scored in the third and contributed a run scoring single as the Indians built a 3-0 lead against A's starter Dan Straily.
Drew Pomerantz pitched three scoreless innings. The left-hander, who came to the Athletics in a December trade with Colorado, was Cleveland's first pick in the 2010 draft. He is seeking a job in the Athletics' bullpen.
"Pomerantz threw the ball over the plate. That's the biggest difference between this outing and the others," A's manager Bob Melvin said. "When he gets his breaking ball over, he becomes unpredictable."

Hill earns All-Southeast Region honors in Tornados final meet of seasonNovember 5, 2011
Brevard sends six to NCAA Southeast Regionals at McAlpine Park
Charlotte, N.C. - Madison Hill led the BC Cross Country team, recording the best finish by a BC runner at the Southeast Regional Championships hosted by Queens University of Charlotte at McAlpine Park on Saturday morning as the Tornados wrapped up their 2011 season.
Two weeks after earning Freshman of the Year and All-SAC honors, Hill concluded her freshman season finishing seventh overall in the field of 189, crossing the line with a time of 22:18.0 to earn All-Southeast Region honors. The freshman from Parkersburg, W.Va. missed out earning a berth to the NCAA National Championships by two spots as the top five advance to the National Championships hosted this year in Spokane, Wash.
Angela Canale finished 57th overall to finish up her sophomore season, closing out the year with a 24:05.8 over the 6K course and earned All-SAC Second Team honors in the 2011 year.
Heidi Kaartinen and Grace Meanor also took on the field as the Tornados fell short of fielding a team in the event, placing 137th and 188th in the event to round out the group for Coach Jack Daniels.
On the men's side, All-SAC Second Team runner Josh Mower and Chris Shore took on the 169 man field, with Mower recording one of the best times of his career in crossing the line in the men's 10K with a time of 34:09.6 to take 75th overall.
Shore finished two minutes back, crossing the line in 36:49.3 to place 133rd in the event as the Tornados close out the 2011 cross country season.

In Honor of Our 9,000+ Volunteers
In honor of Volunteer Recognition Day, which was celebrated yesterday on April 20, let us share with you one quote that simply expresses what our volunteers, many of whom are troop leaders, accomplish throughout the year:
"A good leader is someone who works with others to make things happen."
-- Anne, age 17, Girl Scout Senior
Our volunteers engage girls in discovering themselves and their values, connecting with others locally and globally, and taking action to make the world a better place.
As we look ahead, rapid change seems inevitable, affecting all of our lives. To face the future with hope and strength, our girls will need to be skilled, confident, centered, and open to the full range of human experience. This is where our volunteers' contributions are so pivotal and important to the future of our Girl Scouts. Our 9,000+ volunteers are the people the girls can count on to help them pave the way into the future -- no matter what it holds.
The Board of Directors, Council staff, and the 27,926 girls we serve thank our volunteers and supporters for their incredible generosity in the form of the time they share with our girls; the ideas they develop to teach and encourage our girls; the responsibility they take so seriously to care for each and every precious girl; the love they lavish on the girls to help them grow into confident, inwardly beautiful young women; and the spirit with which they help today's girls become tomorrow's leaders.
Warmest regards,
Rose Littlejohn
Board President
Barbara Murphy-Warrington
Chief Executive Officer

I'm having trouble booting BT4 for the first time on a multi-boot system. Receiving this error during boot:
Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:
- Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
- Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
- Check root= (di the systwem wait for the right device?)
- Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)

Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.
BT4 is installed to a logical partition on an extended partition of the drive. Here is the partition info:

I've tried installing to sda8 by using the "Install.sh" script and also by following the directions here:
How to install BackTrack 3 or 4 to hard drive along with Windows XP, Ubuntu, Fedora, openSuse on Lenovo Thinkpad X60 | HydTech
Also, I've played around with changing the rootdelay= and other parameters in the GRUB menu with no luck. I've also unplugged all USB devices (just a mini reciever for a mouse) and turning off the wireless and bluetooth.
I am able to enter commands in busybox at the initframfs prompt but unsure of what I need to do here to get a working system. Have been digging thru the forums with no luck yet. Any help, advice or direction would be greatly appreciated! thx.

thanks for your reply. I've looked through all the "how tos" and "FAQ's" now.
I've already checked my MD5 hash and it is good. Also BT4 runs from the live dvd no prob.
Basically, I've followed the instructions found here to install:
However, I did not let the BT4 install a new MBR as grub2 was already present and working from the Ubuntu 9.10 partition. I'm not sure that GRUB2 is the problem b/c I can select the BT4 partition in grub and it begins the boot process (but halts while waiting for the root device to respond...).
Also, found this post in the HCL:
I am working on a Dell Latitude D630 also. My machine is slightly less powerful but should be compatible. Also, I have an upgraded wireless card with the Atheros chipset. should be good....
one other thing....Dell D630 should work well with Ubuntu 8.10, says here that it works perfectly:
[ubuntu] upgrade to ubuntu 8.10 on dell latitude D630 - perfect - Ubuntu Forums

UPDATE: problem solved. Turned out to be a strange problem with incorrect UUID entries in the GRUB2. Funny thing was, reinstalling GRUB didn't fix it, nor complete format of both the Ubuntu and BackTrack4 partitions. No matter how I changed things update-grub didn't update the correct path to root. (viewing the grub menu entries the first UUID would be right and second would persistently display the UUID of a long gone partition.)
To solve I ended up creating a 40_custom grub entry to point to the correct BackTrack partition and this seemed to work fine. I then disabled the grub2 OSprober and was good to go.

I chatted with 2 people on the chat feature on the site before ordering. Both assured me that the rack would extend out past my stock OEM rear-mounted spare tire on my Jeep Liberty. I was skeptical, but after speaking to the second customer service agent,I placed the order. Upon receipt of the rack, it was about 4 inches too short. I called Autoanything and was assured that this rack SHOULD fit. I was offered for the rack to be returned, but I bought an extender rather than returning it.

Ovarian cancer may cause only mild or nonspecific (abdominal distress or fullness, back pain, or increasing girth) symptoms until the later stages. Most of the symptoms result from a large tumor in the pelvis. The majority of women will have stage III or greater ovarian cancer at the time of diagnosis. Because of this, it is essential that women of all ages know what to look for so that early problems result in earlier diagnosis, treatment, and better cure rates. It is also important to have regular pelvic exams because they may provide an early diagnosis even in the absence of any significant symptoms.
Symptoms include:
- Abdominal discomfort and/or pain
- Gas, indigestion, pressure, swelling, bloating, or cramps
- Nausea, diarrhea, constipation, or frequent urination
- Loss of appetite
- Feeling of fullness even after only a light meal
- Unexplained weight gain or loss
- Abnormal bleeding from the vagina
Note: These symptoms may be caused by other, less serious health conditions. If you have persistent symptoms, see your doctor.

Verbatim and Seoul Semiconductor to introduce halogen-replacement lamps with new LED chip technology.
"nPola" utililizes gallium nitride (GaN) substrates from Verbatim's parent company Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation for GaN epitaxial growth, replacing sapphire or silicon carbide substrates. Seoul Semiconductor's patented nPola minimizes defects in the active layer and allows LED chip current densities 5 to 10 times higher than conventional chips. Consequently, 5 to 10 times brighter light output can be realized from the same chip size.
Verbatim's initial launch of nPola halogen LED lamps will focus on the MR16 form factors, with a primary target of 50W MR16 halogen equivalency. The combination of high light output and beam characteristics that closely resemble halogen lamps will allow lighting designers and contractors to adequately replace halogen lighting with high performance, energy efficient LED products in both new design and retrofit environments.
SSC and Verbatim will continue to work together to develop innovative LED lighting products.
Verbatim LED lamp with nPola will be presented during Lighting Japan 2013 from 16th to 18th Jan. 2013 and mass Production is expected to start in March 2013.
Verbatim LED lamps are available in lighting and electrical commercial channels.
Subscribe to our RSS-Feed on our Verbatim Newsroom
Since 2010 Verbatim has been developing and selling energy-efficient LED/OLED lighting products for consumer and business applications, based on core technologies provided by Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation. For more information, please visit http://www.verbatimlighting.com.

The coastal cactus wren builds its nests in patches of old-growth prickly pear cactus, providing itself protection from predators.
However, recent fires and past land uses have eliminated most of the mature cactus, which in turn threatens local cactus wren populations.
Organizations such as the non-profit Nature Reserve of Orange County, the city of Irvine and the Irvine Ranch Conservancy are working together to expand the wren's habitat, by connecting isolated patches of prickly pear cactus with each other to over time create a larger, contiguous habitat for the coastal cactus wren.
But why go to all this effort? It's just one bird, and one plant.
"If you think of a strong, bio-diverse ecosystem as a building and individual species as bricks, each brick you remove makes the building weaker," said Michael O'Connell, executive director of Irvine Ranch Conservancy. "If enough bricks disappear, the building crumbles. This is what happens in ecosystems too."
The conservancy works with landowners such as OC Parks and the city of Irvine and other partners to help them manage their lands and obligations under the Natural Community Conservation Plan.
One such project underway in the Shady Canyon area of Irvine is the Mule Deer Restoration Project, named for its proximity to the Mule Deer trail in the city of Irvine's Open Space Preserve.
The conservancy is restoring more than two acres of habitat, including a number of cactus plantings.
The area was grazed by cattle until the end of the last century, leaving non-native grasses and other weeds that inhibit re-growth of native plants.
The coastal cactus wren is not a strong flier, so young birds looking for their own place to live don't really fly too far from the nest. Patches of cactus have to be relatively close to each other for wrens to move among them.
This restoration project is part of an overall plan for "habitat linkages," which will eventually connect patches of existing coastal cactus wren habitat in the James Dilley Reserve off Laguna Canyon Road to these in Shady Canyon.
In addition to native grasses and shrubs, planting plans include 4,500 prickly pear cactus "pads" (oval flat segments of the cactus sometimes called "nopales"), along with 20 large, mature cactus plants to anchor the cactus islands.
By incorporating mature plants, the conservancy hopes to encourage a faster return of coastal cactus wrens and nesting.
The project includes before-and-after monitoring of both the cactus patches and coastal cactus wren to track growth and population expansion.
Along with conservancy staff, the UC Irvine Center for Environmental Biology is also partnering in the project. A UCI scientist tests soil before planting and during the project to track changes, and environmental science students are participating in planting and data collection.
The public is also welcome to join in the Mule Deer Restoration project and help build the habitat linkage. To learn more about these activities or to register, visit irlandmarks.org/activities.

Post subject: How long does Locker have?
You know when you get that new car, the new car smell goes away after a while and the excitement wears off....
We've seen it before where if the QB doesn't show enough early....then they are written off to a degree....
We have seen flashes of Locker. I'm afriad if he doesn't show consistent improvement by the end of the year, going into next year, the "excitement" may not be there....
He basically has 2 more years left on his deal.....
Say we make a whole clearing house coaching move. New HC and OC. That will maybe set him back.
I don't want to be like the Longhorn where we waited too long....
I'm not saying give up on him...just for discussion..how long does a QB have in this new CBA era where salaries are low and contracts are shorter....
They ready to run Ponder out of Minnesota...we know they ready to get rid of Gabbert.. Just seems like it use to be give them at least 3 years to prove themselves as a 1st rounder..
I can already sense on local radio they are thinking he will "never get to Luck or RG3 Level"

With what he's shown so far, he'll have extra time. People keep forgetting how raw he was coming out. He wasn't NFL-ready like Luck and Griffin were predicted to be. His accuracy has already improved a good deal(though still needs to improve some more), his decision making is better than what it was in college, etc.
His ability to improvise with his legs, if we'd play call to utilize that, would speed up his development. Just look at the confidence it's given RG3, they're playing to his strengths in Washington. Locker obviously isn't going to run for 700 yards like RG3, but getting him on the outside and letting him throw on the run will boost his confidence as that's what he's best at...and as we've seen these past couple weeks, letting him run the no huddle, where he can make his own calls and audibles gives us even better results.

I think next year will be the key. The thing is that even if he starts our last 4 games he'll still have only 11 career starts. If we keep Munchak then it's a make or break year for both he and Locker. If we get a new coaching staff, I think it'll be a "try-out" year for Locker with them. If Locker struggles and we have a losing record the new coaching staff will definitely look at a QB for competition, at the very least.
The thing with Locker is I don't he'll ever put up the best stats but he has a special quality that I think will make him a very good QB in this league.

I'm of the thought that if you don't have a top 10 QB, you keep drafting them when you have the chance. Right now, he's not showing me enough, but this year's QB class isn't great. He'll have next year to show he's made the jump. After that, I'll be ready to start circling the wagons.

I've seen him compared to Brett Farve by a slim few..very slim. Because Farve had a low completioin percentage at Southern Miss.
Looking at Brett's career. He always had double digit INTs, pretty much always threw at least 13-15 INTs a year. Sometimes being in the high 20s.
But Farve had that "thing."
Sidenote...he also has been compared to Kyle Boller.....

Next year. You don't pull a 1st round pick with less than one full year of starts unless he's Jamarcus Russell. And even Jamarcus Russell got about that long lol.
Also, seriously? We're talking about replacing Locker? Are you nuts?

He will get another year next year to be his "make or break season". I just hope he doesn't have to learn a new offense during OTAs.

Quite frankly, I don't think Locker is the guy who needs to be on the clock. I believe he's a solid franchise quality QB who will develop with more time. He really reminds me a lot of a young Steve McNair...only White. He's tough, gritty, competitive, mobile with a cannon arm. As long as they don't start jacking him around with changing OCs and installing new systems every time their asses starts itching, he should be just fine. If anything, it's his inconsistent weapons who need to be put on a time limit. Not every elite or solid QB, past or present, became a success overnight.
Aaron Rogers had 4-5 years to learn before he took over.
Drew Brees was in his last year with the Chargers before he started hitting his peak. Then you have some who are exceptions to the rule, but they normally had a better supporting cast like good defenses to help their cause.

I think everyone is on this QB has to be great on day one kick bc of the way a small few have been playing right out of college in the last couple of years. When it comes down to it those few are the exception and not the rule. QBs need some time to get it worked out. Look at Cam, had a great first year and not is in a down year. RG3 and Luck could come out next year and be even worse then Cam this year. Locker is far from the problem on offense, he really has no help around him. There is lots of young talent, but they aren't playing the way they should. If the Wrs and Tes can pull it together and stop dropping so many balls on him and get some separation we could put up a lot better numbers. I really feel that the key here is to give this offense another year together to get it all worked out. If we keep changing what we are doing with different OCs then it will just keep messing it up and they wont ever turn out to the players we hope them to be.
The way I see it is Munch gets one more year to run the show with Locker as the starter. After that if they don't get rolling again I can see some changes coming with replacing Munch and then Locker depending on what the new HC wants to do and feels about the team. I just feel the worst thing you can do for a young QB is keep changing the offense, we saw what happened to Vince and plenty of others, it never ended good.

I still see more McNair than anything. He's gonna need time, but he also needs to stay in the same system. But given his weapons, assuming the coaching staff stays intact, if he's not making big strides in terms of consistency next year, then its time to start asking questions and weighing options
Munch and Locker might be tied together. Come next year they're gonna both have to prove that the're worthy of being here long term.

Willie Randolph was second-guessed at the time, but not from within. Now Cliff Floyd has thrown his former manager under the bus for his decision not to bunt in the ninth inning in Game 7 of the NLCS.
Speaking in Arizona in the Cubs camp, Floyd said: "(Randolph) was confused. I really thought he was going to bunt. Had I been feeling better, I thought it would have been a great call. . . . He thought about it, but (bench coach) Jerry (Manuel) talked him out of it. That's what bench coaches do, I guess."
Floyd, of course, struck out, otherwise this wouldn't be a big deal.
Funny, here's how I remember the playoffs. Floyd said he wanted to be on the roster even though he was ailing. If the Mets made a mistake with Floyd, it was putting him on the playoff roster. In hindsight, it was misguided loyalty.
So, Randolph, with the season on the line, has the faith to use Floyd in a tough spot. Floyd, in essence, said the Mets made a mistake by activating him. All this talk about Floyd being a stand-up guy is nonsense. He didn't say anything at the time. Why is that? Oh yeah, because he wanted to come back.
Now, 2,500 miles away he says something. Real big.
A couple of things to remember about that situation. One, even with a successful bunt, the Mets still would have needed a hit to tie the game. And, who is to say there wouldn't have been a bunt popped up for a double play?
Two, Floyd didn't come through. If he had, this could be a moot point.
Randolph was perturbed answering questions, finally saying, "I'm not going to get dragged into this. … That's his opinion. I'm not going to validate it by addressing it. I make the decisions and I stand by them."
Floyd would have been better off keeping his mouth shut. But, I know how this will turn out. Floyd will get some heat and claim he either didn't say it or was misquoted.

text: As a singer, the problem with Bob Dylan is that he sounds too much like....well, Bob Dylan! On some of his songs (like 'Jokerman'), he sounds like he's trying to channel John Byner's parody of him! But his talents as a songwriter cannot be denied. What are your favorite covers of his works? Here's mine: The Mighty Quinn by Manfred Mann: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STV9u3b-g7k. Originally titled "Quinn The Eskimo", this became a hit for the group. All Along The Watchtower by Jimi Hendrix: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2bYJQFQMs8. When Jimi first heard this, he said rather excitedly "I gotta record this, I gotta record this!". Result received accolades from Dylan himself. I Shall Be Released by Sting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3MDO3xS584 If Not For You by George Harrison:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxO0t9ClfrI. From Harrison's All Things Must Pass album, which also featured a song the two co-wrote, "I'd Have You Anytime" This Wheel's On Fire by Julie Driscoll & The Trinity: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7sQvBkcJdY Released in 1968, this song got a new life when it became the theme song for the BritCom "Absolutely Fabulous" Like A Rolling Stone by, of course, The Rolling Stones: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FT9Qy4gy4Ro. Inevitable that Mick & Keef would cover this. Knockin' On Heaven's Door by Dolly Parton & Ladysmith Black Mambazo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNMI4wMv3lM Dolly Parton covering a Dylan song one would expect. Her turning it into a reggae number with this as a backing band at first sounds so out of left field, but for me, this was enjoyable.

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Tuesday August 6th, 2013 12:44am
The Jesuit Lacrosse Classic was held in Houston this year at the beautiful Strake Jesuit Campus. March 18th -20th. This event is usually hosted in the Maryland-DC area with host schools Georgetown Prep and Gonzaga Prep. The Jesuit Classic started in 1997 and has grown tremendously over the years.
This years participants were Gonzaga Prep, Strake Jesuit, Dallas Jesuit, Tampa Jesuit, St. Ignatius College Prep (Chicago), St. Ignatius College Prep (San Francisco), Fordham Prep, Rockhurst Jesuit (Kansas City), St. Louis University High.
I had a chance to check out a few games and players from the different teams, the competition was very good and the level of lacrosse from the non-traditional hotbeds was outstanding.
Dallas Jesuit had not played a game since its 13-11 win over the highly touted Coppell Cowboy team and Rockhurst Jesuit the Missouri State Champs was looking at starting their season off right with a big win.
The game started out well for Dallas Jesuit getting out to a 3-0 lead quickly. Junior Faceoff Middie Alex Petsos, dominated the X to let Dallas Jesuit control the pace of the game. Offensively Dallas Jesuit used its "Air Force Connection" Buck McClure 3 goals, 5 assists) and Richie Sapp (6 goals, 2 assists) to run 2 man games from behind and find numerous openings on the doorstep.
Rockhurst Jesuit then settled in and went on a blazing run in the second quarter lead by # 5 Jr. attackman Ferber (3goals) to take a 5-3 lead. Rockhurst Jesuit capitalized on man ups and transition opportunities to send Dallas Jesuit staggering into a timeout.
After the time out Buck McClure put the Dallas Jesuit team on his back scoring and drawing double teams to feed Richie Sapp and the defense settled to only give up 1 more goal in the half to make the score 9-6 at the half.
Coming out of the half Rockhurst Jesuit regrouped and score on the opening faceoff of the half and then scored another to make it 9-8. Senior attackman Connor (2 goals) played outstanding.
Dallas Jesuit began dominating at the faceoff X again and it's offense slowly poked holes in the Rockhurst Jesuit defense to come out with a 15-9 win
Things I noticed: Rockhurst Jesuit is very well coached, sticks are very good and dpoles played great position defense. Senior Midfielder Muehlenbach (2 goals, 2 assists) very good player that can handle with pressure and score. This team is big athletic team, and should do well during their season.
Dpole - Michael McCarney for Dallas Jesuit is a good player, he is, tall, big and length gives opposing attackman fits.
Fordham started out strong and jumped on the St. Ignatius team early and cruised to a 16-8 win. Fordham's set offense and off ball movement was creating a lot of opportunities. When the Wolfpack did make a save or a stop the ride for Fordham just created some great transition opportunities for them.
Fordham has some really good players Dpole #13 Logan Williamson is a STUD, can play down low or LSM. His footwork is phenomenal, his checks are well timed, he is always in position, and probably the best pole at the tournament and one of the best I have seen all year.
#10 Chris Smith midfielder is also a very good player for Fordham prep he will be attending Holy Cross next year, handles the rock well, finishes and his motor never stops.
St, Ignatius (Chicago) has some players that stood out also #23 Dpole Evan Mulchrone played well and is a very good. Midfielder #26 Thomas Creagan showed well, handled the ball well and made plays and Attackman #7 Jake Hutton is very exciting to watch.
This was the most exciting game of the weekend. Dallas Jesuit was down 7-5 with 3 minutes left and won 8-7. Fordham Preps defense was rock solid anchored by stud Dpole Logan Williamson and great goaltending by their goalie Connor Gowan but Dallas Jesuit had great goaltending also with sophomore goalie Christian Banister standing on his head making numerous saves, many were 1 on 1 right on the crease and Christian turned them away cold.
Dallas Jesuit led first quarter 2-1 but went cold and Fordham prep led by Chris Smith started to put it to the Ranger. By the end of the 3rd it was 6-4 Fordham Prep.
As the 4th started to get to the end Buck McClure (3 goals) attackman Dallas Jesuit and Fordham Prep dpole Logan Williamson who had been an epic battle all day took it up a notch. Buck McClure scores a goal makes the game 6-5, next series Buck McClure tries to tie the game, gets back checked by Williamson turnover.
Next Dallas Jesuit possession Richie Sapp (2 goals, 1 assist) ties the game with 1:17 seconds left. Alex Petsos midfielder Dallas Jesuit who again dominated the faceoff X gets the final possession of the game for the Rangers and Buck McClure (Air Force) scores with 6 seconds left in the game to complete the comeback.
Early Saturday morning when I got to the field I was met with a nice surprise a schedule change that had St. Ignatius San Francisco a power on the West Coast vs.Gonzaga Prep a power on the East Coast. Pretty cool that these two teams wanted to play each other so bad that they asked for this game. Many teams don't want to play tough early season competition because of power rankings or other nonsense, but not these teams.
St, Ignatius was as advertised very well skilled and tough jumping out to a 3-0 lead on the DC boys. West Coast was definitely in the house. Then #4 Midfielder David Planning for Gonzaga took over the game by the mid 2nd score was 3-3, Planning does not leave the field he plays offense, defense, buys the food, cooks the food, eats the food, he does it all, superb player. By the time the half came score was 5-3 Gonzaga.
The St. Ignatius Dpoles are great they are long, athletic and communicate through all situations #32 Jack McGovern is a nice player, great footwork and controls his stick nicely.
Offensively St. Ignatius has some good players that can ball attack man #9 J.W McGovern is legit and Mid #24 Matt Emery a sophomore is the truth. Emery has the sickest hitch and go I have seen since the Brattons.
On the Gonzaga Prep side once the 2nd half started they began to pull away using a ravenous riding game, they ride hard, create transition and every player top to bottom know how to handle the ball. By the end of the third 8-4, and 11-7 at the end of the game.
Gonzaga is a tough defensive team that packs it in and slides early and fills the backside quickly, dpole #38 Jack Slater is very solid, love to watch him play. St. Ignatius just could not get the spacing and proper dodging angles to exploit the Gonzaga defense.
Nice matchups as these were arguably the two best teams in the tournament and a rematch from last year as Gonzaga beat Dallas Jesuit. Last years matchup was a close 6-4 win by Gonzaga this year Gonzaga was ready from the start of the game and jumped on Dallas Jesuit early 4-1 end of the 1st lead by "Mr. Everything" midfielder David Planning by the time the half came it was 8-2. Gonzaga had a great performance also by attack man #18 Alex Corboy.
Once the start of the 3rd came the Dallas Jesuit comeback machine had started Dallas Jesuit Faceoff Midfielder Alex Petsos won 21 of 30 attempts for the game and earned the nickname "Make it-Take it" as he was over 78% for the entire tournament.
Richie Sapp for Dallas Jesuit tallied 6 goals and 2 assists, Matt Miller added 2 clutch goals for Dallas Jesuit as the got the lead down to 2 with 4 minutes left and having the Rangers thinking of another comeback, but Gonzaga attackman Sean Whitcomb with 5 goals on the day was not having it and the Gonzaga goalie made a crucial save that would have cut the lead to 1 and gave his team the ball to run out the time on the clock Gonzaga came up with another win over Dallas Jesuit 14-11 in another great game .
-The Strake Jesuit campus is beautiful and they did a great job with the tournament. -Tampa Jesuit is a very good team, well coached, and good players out of that Tampa are that can compete.
- The non -traditional hotbeds have some great players and coaching is phenomenal
- Missouri lacrosse has some ballers
- Love the Gonzaga Prep Coaching Staff and players, great guys and great kids
-Dallas Jesuit can score in bunches and quickly
Alex Petsos Dallas Jesuit Faceoff Middie 78% for the tournament,
Logan Williamson Fordham Prep great Dpole best footwork I have seen in a while
Middie David Planning Gonzaga Prep "Mr. Everything"
Tampa Jesuit Middie #39 Martinez has a cannon for a shot
St. Ignatius (San Francisco) Matt Emery is going to be a BEAST
Garrett Van De Ven – Dallas Jesuit Midfielder was the most athletic player at the tournament, Flat out fast, strong, hard shooting stud.

LumberKings' Unsworth strong again
M's South African prospect drops ERA to 2.57 in fifth start
By Jake Seiner / Special to MLB.com | May 4, 2013 7:35 PM ET
Coming out of Durban, South Africa, it should've been a little difficult for Dylan Unsworth to get noticed, but that's never really been an issue for the Mariners prospect.
The 6-foot-1 right-hander has a way of finding the spotlight. At times, it's because of his ostentatiously bright clothing -- he'll match shirts, shoes, watches, hats or anything else he can piece into an ensemble. When he pitches, his long, blond hair pokes out from under his cap and the ball comes out of a right arm swathed in a tattooed sleeve. When he speaks, well, his accent is a little unusual in Clinton County, Iowa.
Of late, his pitching lines are warranting attention, too.
On Saturday night, Unsworth struck out five and allowed two hits over six scoreless innings before Class A Clinton fell to Bowling Green, 3-2. The outing pulled his ERA down to 2.57 and was his third straight start without issuing a walk. Over 35 innings, he's struck out 22 batters and walked only two. And in his last three starts, he's allowed 29 hits with no home runs and is averaging 7 2/3 innings per outing.
"My fastball command has been good," Unsworth said. "My changeup was good and I was able to spin a few curveballs over and get a few groundouts."
Unsworth has made fairly consistent progress since signing with Seattle out of Durban at the age of 16. As a teenager, he pitched in a South African league with "maybe 10 teams." His squad practiced twice a week and played games on Saturdays.
The right-hander garnered the attention of the Major League Baseball European Academy, which invited him to a camp in Tirrenia, Italy in 2009. At the showcase, which featured 50 of the top prospects from Europe, New Zealand and Africa, Unsworth caught the eye of a Mariners scout.
Unsworth chatted with him but didn't sign, going straight from Italy to Barcelona for the Baseball World Cup, where he pitched for the South African National Team. Unbeknownst to Unsworth, the scout followed him to Spain and, when Unsworth returned to South Africa, the scout was waiting for him at the airport with a contract.
"It's a pretty amazing story," Unsworth said. "It's always been my dream to play pro baseball."
Seattle sent him to the Rookie-level Arizona League, where he posted an outrageous 44-to-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio and surrendered just one homer in 50 1/3 innings. He went 2-5 with a 3.93 ERA in 11 games, including 10 starts.
"Coming from home, we played maybe every Saturday and had training twice a week," he said. "Here, I was training every day, playing every day and throwing every five days. Staying in a routine and staying healthy every day has been the key point for me."
In 2011, Seattle bumped him to the Appalachian League, where he suffered a few bruises, posting a 5.16 ERA over 61 innings. His stellar command remained a strength as he posted a 46-to-10 K/BB ratio but allowed 73 hits.
Last year, he moved up to the short-season Northwest League, where he went 7-2 with a 3.90 ERA. He led the league with 85 1/3 innings and ranked third in wins and fourth with 67 strikeouts against 19 walks.
Unsworth was exceptionally raw coming out of South Africa and most of his repertoire has been a work-in-progress over the past three-plus seasons. This year, he's noticed an uptick in the velocity of his fastball, which routinely sits in the 87-89 mph range with excellent command to both sides of the plate. He took to throwing a changeup with relative ease and can execute the offering in the strike zone consistently.
Learning to harness an effective breaking ball has been a tougher task and is one of his main goals this season.
"The curveball, it's always been a little bit of a struggle for me," he said. "I just need to keep being better with the curveball and throwing it for strikes. With two strikes, I'm trying to make use of it and keep it down."
Unsworth pitched last September in World Baseball Classic qualifiers alongside a handful of big league prospects hoping to become the first South African to play in the Majors -- Indians No. 17 prospect Kieran Lovegrove is the most notable.
Unsworth has a ways to go before he gets a shot at a big league roster. If his velocity continues to inch up and he can develop his off-speed offerings, he could lay claim to that title. For now, however, continued dominance in the Midwest League is a good start.
"I'm a starting pitcher coming from a background where I didn't have that much," he acknowledged. "I'm just going along with it every day, trying to have fun."

Twice per year in the fall and spring, all Internship supervisors and pastoral interns around the country are hosted by the nearest ELCA seminary for something called the "cluster meeting." At the cluster meeting, supervisors and pastoral interns enjoy a chance to meet, talk, ask questions, provide feedback, and learn from other partners in the Internship experience. These are valuable sessions and they contribute greatly to the Internship in both semesters. (They are also a fun way to get to know Internship teams at the other seminaries!)
Here are the dates for the Fall cluster meetings, as we have received that information. Don't see your cluster here? Your nearest seminary will contact you soon!

By now, our 2014 - 2015 intern and supervisor teams are just beginning to take their first steps down the exciting path of internship together.
To our supervisors, we say: Whether you are a new supervisor or a more experienced one, internship is a major opportunity to share the work of lifting up a new generation of Christian public leaders. We are looking forward to supporting you in that work!
To our interns, we say: We are here for you! As we shared with you all at our Service of Sending at Chapel on Wednesday May 7:
Now you are prepared to go out into the church and the world in your new role. You will learn more than you can imagine, and will serve God even as you serve and care for all you encounter. We pray you go knowing Christ's call and promise to be with you each step of the way.
"You came to Luther Seminary having been called by God and affirmed for study by the church. Here at Luther, you have been studying leadership and ministry, scripture and theology, history and practical theology. You have been gathered into community and worship life and have been blessed by God's presence.
"Now you are prepared to go out into the church and the world in your new role. You will learn more than you can imagine, and will serve God even as you serve and care for all you encounter. We pray you go knowing Christ's call and promise to be with you each step of the way."
