Ready for some Irish League Baseball?
Season preview for the 2007 Irish Baseball League
Plus a look back at previous seasons in Baseball Ireland League History
Plus a look back at previous seasons in Baseball Ireland League History
Things are starting to take shape in terms of the 2007 Irish Adult Baseball League. This year there are going to be six teams in the 'A' division, with the Spartans attempting to defend their hard won crown from 2006. The Spartans, Hurricanes and Twins United will be playing out of Corcaigh Park near Newlands Cross. The Greystones Mariner's home ground in Greystones is unavailable for the first part of the season so they will take to the road for the first month in search of their first title ever. The Belfast Northstars will be taking part in the league as will the Blacksox, who are based in Shanganah Park, out near Shankill.
Each team brings its own style of play to the competition, and each team is in with a chance to win the 2007 season.
The schedule has not been released as yet but the Irish Baseball Committee are working around the clock to come up with something that suits everyone whilst also being fair to all. umours indicate the 'A' league teams can expect as many as twenty games each, which is the most the league has attempted to date.
All Time Irish Baseball Championship winners
- 2006 - League Champions Spartans
- 2005 - League Champions Hurricanes
- 2004 - League Champions Spartans
- 2003 - League Champions Hurricanes
- 2002 - League Champions Spartans
- 2001 - League Champions Panthers
- 2000 - League Champions Spartans
- 1999 - League Champions Spartans
- 1998 - League Champions Panthers
- 1997 - League Champions The Dukes *
Darran O'Connor, Sean Mitchell, Chaime Cuevas, Bill Beglane, John Dillon and Noel Mitchell. They won the league last season and that brought their league title hall to an amazing five trophies. To put that in perspective, there have been nine trophies handed out to the winners of the Irish Baseball League since 1997 and five of those have gone to the Spartans.
They have a history of scooping up the individual awards too when it comes to trophy time. Last year the Spartans picked up two coveted personal awards. Chaime Cuevas won the 2006 Tommy Bond Best Pitcher Award and Darran O'Connor won the 2006 Andy Leonard MVP Award
Chaime has basically dominated Irish Baseball for as long as he has been playing. He has won the best pitcher award in 2006 and 2003 and also took home the 2002 League MVP award. The Spartans boast Darran O'Connor, Will Beglane, John Dillon, Sean Mitchell and Noel Mitchell, all current or former Irish National Team players.
The one thing that might play against them is their age. At this stage the average age of their starting lineup has to be about 37, possibly even more!
The Dublin Hurricanes
Naturally, I am a little biased seeing as I am a Hurricane, but it's hard not to be excited about the Hurricane's chances in 2007 considering some key additions. Tommy Hernandez, Alex and Woody 'One pitch' Woodburn come over from the Twins United and there are a couple of other suprise additions from the United States in the pipeline. The core of the Hurricanes is back and ready to play. Steve Divito, Andy Martin, Tom Kelley, Chris Foy and Eric 'Vegas' Valkys will all bring veteran experience to the table for the Hurricanes in '07.
The Hurricanes had often finished second to either the Spartans or Panthers in the Irish League but finally broke their barren spell with a dramatic title win in 2003. They followed this up with another title win in 2005. The Hurricanes trophy cabinet is certainly pretty healthy.
- 2005 - League Champions Hurricanes
- 2005 - Andy Leonard MVP Award Steve DiVito *
- 2004 - League Pennant Winners Hurricanes
- 2004 - League Cy Young Award Cormac Eklof
- 2004 - Silver Slugger Andy Martin **
- 2004 - M&M Psycho Invitational - Champs Hurricanes
- 2004 - M&M Psycho Invitational - MVP Steve DeVito
- 2004 - M&M Psycho Invitational - Cy Young Award Cormac Eklof
- 2003 - League Champions Hurricanes
- 2003 - League MVP Tom Kelley
- 2003 - Silver Slugger Tom Kelley
- 2003 - Spring Blitz Winners Hurricanes
- 2003 - Spring Blitz MVP Steve DiVito
- 2003 - Spring Blitz Pitcher Cormac Eklof
- 2002 - League Batting Champion Gordon Ireland ***
- 2002 - League Gold Glove Mick Manning

- 2001 - Spring Blitz Winners Hurricanes
- 2001 - End of Season Blitz Winners Hurricanes
- 2001 - End of Season Blitz MVP Tom Kelley
- 2000 - End of Season Blitz Winners Hurricanes
* Steve's game winning home run against the Spartans that season was recently voted the 'Hurricanes greatest hit ever' by a jury of slightly inebraited individuals.
** Check out Andy Martin's simply unbelievable statistics from the 2004 season
Name Team PA AB R H RBI 1B 2B 3B HR BB HBP SO SB CS BA SLG OBP
Martin, Andy Hur 64 50 36 26 19 17 8 1 0 12 2 2 17 0 .520 .720 .625
In 64 plate appearances he struck out twice, whilst batting an unbelievable .520 with 36 runs scored and 19 RBIs.
*** Check out the below sets of stats and guess which player won the League MVP in 2002.
Player 1 - 43 24 23 26 3 2 2 11 3 5 12 1 .535 .837 .649
Player 2 - 47 14 22 15 3 0 1 6 0 0 6 1 .468 .596 .519
Amazingly Player 2 won the League MVP, even though Gordy, player 1, had more hits, RBIs, triples, home runs, walks, steals, a higher batting average and almost double the second players slugging and also a higher .OBP. Gordy had one of the greatest seasons in baseball Ireland history and sadly was not rewarded with the Leage MVP.
Myself and TK (Tom Kelley) have been on the Hurricanes squad since its inception in 1997, and I can honestly say I have never been as excited about thestart of a season or about our chances to take the title since those first few league games in the late nineties. We have a fabulous collection of talent available to us and most of all a great bunch of team mates to take the field with.
The Twins United
The Twins are an interesting story. They have lost a bunch of high quality players to free agency and emigration. They are however entering a team in the 2007 league with JJ Zulaga leading the way. They could be the leagues dark horses for the season.
The Greystones Mariners
Greystones have always been one of the hardest teams to beat in the Irish League. Although the Mariners have never won the league title they have not been short on individual awards and have always preformed well in the annual Spring Blitz tournaments. Shawn Miskiman started 2005 8-0 and although he (and the Mariners) ran out of gas a little in the home stretch he still deservedly took home the 2005 - Tommy Bond Best Pitcher Award. The Mariners also won the 2005 Spring Invitational tournament.
Greystones finished second place to the Hurricanes in the 2004 M&M Psycho Invitational Bitz. They would take home an even loftier award with Darragh Jones winning the 2004 League MVP award. The first award the Mariners ever collected was also an individual award, with Hugh Cahill being crowned the 2003 Irish League Batting Champion.
There is no doubt the talent is there, but can the Mariners put it alltogether and make a serious run at the title in 2007? We shall see.
Their 2007 squad is packed with talent however a big issue for the Blacksox is going to be trying to replace Pat Nolan's superior batting stats in their order. Pat has relocated to the States with his wife Erika and child Bianca. Check out his stats for the last two years.
Year Name Team PA AB R H RBI 2B 3B HR BB HBP SO SB CS BA SLG OBP GIDP
2005 Nolan, Pat BSx 32 31 11 17 12 7 0 1 1 0 5 8 1 .548 .871 .563 0
2004 Nolan, Pat BSx 48 36 21 16 14 3 0 1 9 1 3 9 0 .444 .611 .542 1
They are not going to easily replace his 33 hits over the last years and whopping .548 batting average too easily.
Pat has also been prominent in the Blacksox trophy cabinet over the years
2005 - 'Dirty' Jack Doyle Silver Slugger Award Pat Nolan
2004 - Dublin International Tournament - Cy Young Award Mike Kindle
2003 - League Gold Glove Pat Nolan
2002 - League Cy Young Award Eoin O'Connor *
2002 - Spring Blitz Pitcher Patrick Baerner
* Eoin O'Connor had a fantastic 2002 season on the mound for the Blacksox but has largely switched to playing in the field while Glen Poor and Niall Rowen have taken the pitching mound for the Sox. Check out Eoin's stellar if short 2002 season pitching stats.
Name Team IP H R ER BB SO SO/BB HB W L Sv ERA OBA
O'Connor, Eoin Bsx 27.0 20 21 8 19 41 2.158 2 4 0 0 2.07 .196
The Northstars
The Northstars decided in the offseason to re-merge with the Wolves, forming one team under the 'Belfast Northstars' famous name. This should hopefully give them a stronger base of players to help challenge for the 2007 season. They certainly have plenty of bats in the order. Check out some of their top players statistics in 2005. Neil Anderson batted .571 while Steve Van Houten smacked the ball to a tune of a .481 average. David McCullagh batter .412 and stole 12 bases. Sean Shackley hit .360 and Gordon Cuthbert hit .360.
The Northstars are clearly not going to have a problem scoring runs in 2007, and they will prove once again to be a tricky team to beat, particularly on their home turf up in Belfast.
The season is shaping up to be one of the best in Irish baseball's ten years of league play. To find out more about getting involved in Irish Baseball at any level at all click here.

Five days into a major direct action here in the Amazon and the new ship is holding up well. We've been painting banners below deck, taking urgent media calls from the campaign office and eating Walter's fantastic food in the shiny new mess. Occupying an anchor chain for nearly 140 hours has required all the tools at our disposal, and we've been hoisting inflatable boats on and off the ship like clockwork. The Bosun's workshop has seen sawing, chopping, gluing and creative improvisation (we're cooking up a pretty dramatic little number right now – watch this space). The conference room has been turned into a makeshift recreational area, allowing the crew somewhere to listen to music and chill out in between shifts for the action.
There's a real sense of excitement about this situation because this is what Greenpeace ships are made for. Our community engagement work is an important part of campaigning with the ship. We've used the ship to host community meetings, open boat events and spread the world about the Zero Deforestation Law, but now is the Rainbow Warrior's time for action. Now we can finally use some of the special features that we have onboard. We're incredibly lucky to have things like lithium iron batteries in the boats, state-of-the-art communication equipment and comfortable cabins to rest our weary heads. And that's thanks to every single one of your 100,000 individual donations that helped bring the Rainbow Warrior into the world. No corporate money, no investors demanding a return – just the good will of our supporters like you from every corner of the globe.
Last night one of the crew told me he expects this ship to be with Greenpeace for the next 35 years at least. That's quite a thought. To be here at the very start of this epic story is an honor, considering that I will hopefully have retired before the ship does. What will the environmental challenges of 2048 look like? Flying cars pumping out helium pollution into our vertical cities? E-Waste from domestic robots clogging up our countryside? (OK, fairly standard predictions. Add your own guesses in the comments).
But here's another important thought: will Greenpeace even exist in the middle of the 21st century? Perhaps humanity will have moved beyond its current blind spot, and we'll recognize that our oceans and forests are things to be protected and respected rather than exploited for short term profit. Lots of people think that this is impossible, that we're destined to use up the planet's resources with our heads buried in the sand. I don't, and I hoped you don't either. That mindset is nothing more than an escape hatch for people who don't have the stomach for the (nonviolent) fight that lies ahead.
We'd all like to retire this ship before her time, safe in the knowledge that the job is done and the Rainbow Warrior has served her purpose for the world. They say that you can't sink a rainbow, but perhaps she can sail off into the sunset for a relaxing final few years in Tahiti. But somehow I suspect this won't be the case. My guess is that we'll still be sawing, chopping and improvising in the Bosun's workshop for quite a few decades to come.

Thanks very much for this very excellent post James. What will the future look like? With God's help and the Rainbow Warrior by his side, I'll answer you with a song of hope.
Earth Anthem, music by Francis Scott Key, Lyrics and performance by Stephen Longfellow Fiske:
O say can we see
By the one light in all
Our earth to embrace
At the call of all nations
Where our children can play
In a world without war
Where we stand hand in hand
In the grace of creation
Where the rivers run clean
Through the forests of green
Where the cities stand tall
In the clear skies of freedom
O say do our hearts sing out
For harmony and Love forever
On the planet of our birth
Blessed with peace on earth

My thanks to the courageous men and women who are putting themselves on the line to save our planet. I call you true heroes. I wish to present a horoscope prediction by Rose Marcus, from the last Georgia Straight edition of 2011:
"Due to a retrograde cycle, from late January through mid April, Mars will spend not the average six weeks, but close to eight months in task-oriented Virgo. Through early July, Mars will rip through what isn't working, while it test-drives new solutions. In February, Neptune in Pisces begins a 14-year search for collective redemption. This once-in-a-lifetime transit suggests there's still hope for humanity. Eventually we will learn to imagine and fashion a new reality."
My response to the comments above. Yes, Virginia and other humans on Earth, there is hope for meaningful change in the future.

OSWEGO — Two SUNY Oswego students will join six others from across the State University system as Student Fellows to work over the next year helping shape the 64-campus system's use of big data, SUNY Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher announced Oct. 29.
Two from SUNY Oswego named Student Fellows for big-data project
SUNY Oswego's Erika Wilson, a junior from Ontario, NY, majoring in applied mathematics, and Eyub Yegen, a senior from Schwaebisch, Germany, majoring in both finance and applied mathematical economics, joined peers from University at Buffalo (two), Buffalo State, Cayuga Community College, Cornell University and Old Westbury for the announcement at a conference in New York City titled "Building a Smarter University: Big Data and Ingenuity."
"The ability to manage and accurately analyze data is a skill that is increasingly important in today's marketplace," said Zimpher. "Learning from experts from across the globe at this week's conference, the SUNY student fellows will play a critical role in helping SUNY to educate and prepare future generations of students for this challenge.
"Selected by their campus provosts for this designation, our student fellows have each shown an interest in and capacity for using big data to enhance their academic and professional pursuits, and we are proud to partner with them as we determine the best uses for Big Data in the future of higher education."
Wilson, who minors in applied statistics, hopes to attend Columbia University to obtain her master's degree in statistics following graduation from SUNY Oswego. She has participated in several undergraduate research projects at the college, including image restoration and cupola model fitting. She won the spring 2013 Emmet C. Stopher Calculus Award.
Yegen, who also minors in applied statistics, also is a part-time student at Harvard University's Extension School. A 2013 Financial Management Association Collegiate Fellow, his goal is to pursue a doctorate in finance to develop an in-depth understanding of how to use financial tools to solve socioeconomic problems. Yegen is a senator-at-large for the Student Association at Oswego, president of three clubs on campus and serves on the School of Business Student Advisory Council. Last summer, he was invited to become a financial and statistical research intern at the Turkish Grameen Microfinance Program, where he assisted the organization by analyzing their big-data set. Yegen also worked on social business projects with students from Brown University and Cambridge University.

DURHAM, N.C. — As the fury of Hurricane Sandy crashed into the Northeast last month, online postings along the storm's path recounted the collapse of one service after another — no lights, no heat, no phones, no subway and, ultimately, no Internet. But amid the darkened buildings and flooded subways of Lower Manhattan, one service remained largely intact and, as a result, largely ignored: the water supply. As Mayor Michael Bloomberg confidently tweeted, "NYC Tap Water is absolutely safe to drink."
The media hardly noticed. We take easy access to reliable, clean drinking water for granted. But it hasn't always been that way: Lack of safe drinking water has plagued American cities for most of their history. In fact, what's truly remarkable is that the one problem New York did not face after Sandy was contaminated water.
But the drinking water in New York and other American cities remains under serious threat from sources both less obvious and less direct than natural disasters.
For starters, the system's infrastructure is decaying. Nationwide, more than 10 percent of public water is lost through leaks. On average, a major water pipe bursts somewhere in the country every two minutes. In Washington, D.C., a pipe bursts every day.
This should not be surprising. Most of our water systems were built decades ago. Some date to the Civil War. The EPA estimates that $335 billion will be needed simply to maintain the current water infrastructure over the next few decades. Upgrades would cost even more.
So what are we doing about it? To date, very little. We are starving our water system of funds and have been doing so for years. Part of the reason is the system's invisibility; the average citizen doesn't give buried water pipes a thought until they burst and faucets run dry. Another part is a lack of public understanding of how antiquated our infrastructure has become. Finally, there is a stubborn refusal to pay for the system's actual cost; we seem to think it has always been cheap and should remain so, come hell or high water.
And because of climate change, both hell and high water may be in store for us. In addition to making water more scarce in some regions of the country — pitting cities' consumption against agricultural demands — climate change will give rise to storms of greater intensity, according to most models. Sandy's uncommon power could become the new reality, placing public services under regular threat of deluge. We may have no choice but to harden our infrastructure as "hundred-year" storms become commonplace.
A further challenge, even more difficult to assess, comes from emerging contaminants. We are introducing compounds into our environment that did not exist only a few decades ago. To take one example, millions of people ingest pharmaceutical products every day, treating a range of conditions from arthritis to depression. Our bodies excrete residue from the drugs into the sewage system, and unused medications are often flushed down the toilet. As a result,they turn up in our tap water. One study found evidence of 56 pharmaceuticals or their byproducts in treated drinking water, including in metropolitan systems that together serve more than 40 million people.
These drugs are designed to change human body chemistry, and the risks they pose in the water supply may be real, but they are hard to quantify. The concentrations are extremely low, sometimes in parts per billion or even parts per trillion — far, far below the level of a prescribed medical dose. Nor are there any documented cases of pharmaceutical traces in drinking water leading to harm, but with such small doses it is difficult to assess effects that may be subtle or distant in time. As EPA scientist Christian Daughton has described, such contaminants are "at the outer envelope of toxicology."
Other emerging contaminants, such as methane from fracking and endocrine disruptors from pesticide runoff, raise similar concerns.
Despite these challenges, it's important to recognize the scale of achievement in a clear glass of tap water. We can go to any city in the United States and sip from a fountain without a moment's concern for our health. This is remarkable, and it certainly was not inevitable. For most of human history, and in many parts of the world today, clean drinking water has not been readily available or expected.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that the flu season began earlier than usual this year and is shaping up to be more severe than in years past. Kimberly-Clark, the market leader in facial protection in the U.S., has been closely monitoring CDC data and adjusting manufacturing schedules and inventory management in anticipation of continued increased demand from current customers for PPE, including face mask products the company says.

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Illinois union leaders on Friday criticized the details of a controversial deal to reform the state's woefully under-funded public pensions, as legislative leaders revealed more specifics of the deal they reached on Wednesday.
The agreement contains proposals to raise the retirement age and reduce automatic increases in pension payments, according to an overview of the bill released by the office of powerful Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan.
Union opponents of the plan say it is little changed from a Madigan-backed proposal that was overwhelmingly defeated by the Illinois Senate earlier this year.
"It's a bad rerun of a movie that we saw months ago and for public servants and retirees, it's a horror film," said Anders Lindall, spokesman for the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME).
Under the deal, the retirement age for workers who are currently aged 45 and under would gradually increase. And for high wage earners, the state would set a cap on the portion of their salaries used to calculate pension benefits, according to the overview issued by Madigan's office.
The current 3 percent annual cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for retirement pay, which is compounded annually, would be subjected to a formula aimed at benefiting longer-term, lower-earning workers. Increases would be tied to the inflation rate.
At the outset, cost-of-living increases would be suspended for anywhere from one to five years, depending on the age of the worker.
AFSCME's Lindall said the cuts to the COLA would reduce the total value of a typical retiree's pension payments by some 30 percent over 25 years of retirement.
Union leaders had questions about some aspects of the deal, including a provision to prohibit collective bargaining on most "pension matters."
In the only pension-related issue that still could be resolved during talks, teachers can continue to negotiate with school districts to make contributions to their pensions in lieu of salary increases.
It was unclear exactly which "pension matters" would be included under the ban, said Dan Montgomery, president of the Illinois Federation of Teachers.
"It's a sweeping, unnecessary, crude attack on public workers," he said about the plan.
The Illinois Senate and House are expected to take up pension reform next week.

Quince Paste (Membrillo / Cotognata) - 1 lb.
Subtotal -
This confection is called Membrillo in Spanish and Cotognata in Italian. Both products are made from the quince fruit which, when cooked slowly with the right amount of sugar and lemon juice becomes a sticky paste with beautifully deeply sweet flavors.
In Spain, this condiment is paired with a number of cheeses, but most famously with Manchego. In Italy, it is paired with fresh robiola or sharper pecorinos. We happen to love it paired with stronger goats or blue cheeses as a perfect foil to their bright and sharp flavors.
Quince paste is similar to La Senapata, but without the intensity of the mustard spice.

San Luis Obispo, Calif- Junior Albert Hughes opened the morning competition on his first attempt in the hammer with a 199'6 personal best, although it was his last attempt of the day that had everyone buzzing. When the men's discus entered the final round of throwing all of the other events had been completed, with the Gauchos and Mustangs locked in a tie based on the current discus standings. Cal Poly Freshman Arnold Sambel opened the competition with a fine 159'6 heave which controlled the competition until Hughes stepped in the ring for his final attempt.
It's not often a dual meet comes down to a throwing event. Usually the 4 x 400m relay decides a close meet but on this afternoon Albert Hughes beat the buzzer with his final toss.
With the entire Gaucho contingent cheering him on via the adjacent high jump apron, Hughes stomped into the throwing cage and entered the circle huffing with determintation. He wound his 2k implement and uncorked a lifetime best throw of 164'6, propelling the Gauchos to victory with his come from behind win. In a three point swing of the disc, the UCSB men moved to 7-2 against the Mustangs over the previous nine meetings.
Earlier in the afternoon the Gaucho women rallied for the team victory by way of several eye-opening performances. In what was the most complete team effort of the season, the Gaucho women had nineteen season best performances on the day.
Men's Team Scores
Cal Poly 99.5
Women's Team Scores
Cal Poly 98
Combined Team Effort
The Gauchos used a united front to overcome the Mustang's charge. In total the Gauchos won 21 contested events to Cal Poly's 17.
Blue-Green Rivalry Update
With both track wins counting in the yearly tally, UCSB now leads the Blue-Green Rivalry 13-12 on the year.
Top Big West Programs Square Off
The "Battle of the Central Coast" was also a meeting of the two best combined programs in the Big West over the last decade. Tallying each member school's conference finish in Men's and Women's Cross Country and Men's and Women's Track and Field, UCSB and Cal Poly have been a cut above the rest.
In the four championship events UCSB has an average finish of 2.76. Cal Poly is second in the Big West over the last decade with an average finish of 3.19. Both programs have been known for their dedication to building a team model where cross country and track and field have equal importance.
Big West Conference Performance Analysis PDF
Sophomores Power Team to Win
The Gaucho sophomores were at it again, this time winning five events. None more inspiring than Tori Tsolis' in the 1500m. Taking on four of the top seven runners in the Big West, Tsolis ran her heart out, winning with a new personal best time of 4:26.76. Taking a few notes from her male counter part Shyan Vaziri, Tsolis cut through the backstretch wind and charged home with a smooth finishing stride and BIG ARMS!
In the women's high jump, sophomore Jessica Emde took the win with a clearance of 5'7.
In the women's 100m hurdles, Shannon Trumbull powered her way over the barriers running 13.93w for the win. Sophomore Tori Usgaard took second in 14.51w in her final tune-up before she heads to the Big West Combined Events Championships next Friday and Saturday in Davis.
Sophomore Maxine Goyette won the women's 3,000m steeplechase in 11:00.69. Goyette has ran four straight steeplechase races, winning two (Cal Poly and All CAL) and taking runner-up honors (Cal-Nevada's).
Sophomore Melissa Rake won the women's javelin with a mark of 139'9.
The UCSB junior class also contributed to the win, led by Jessica Johnson. Johnson won the women's 400m with a stellar run of 54.96. Johnson later came back and anchored the women's 4 x 400m relay to the win. Johnson has quickly developed into one of the top 400m runners in the Big West and has shown a natural feel for the long relay with her efficient stride.
Hallie Brauner won the women's 400m hurdles at 62.94. In just her first collegiate track season, Brauner has now won 3 long hurdle races this spring.
Katie Lee, a junior from Mill Valley set a new lifetime best in the women's pole vault, clearing 12'1.5. Lee moved to third all-time at UCSB with her vault.
Senior Kathleen Guzman won the women's hammer and women's discus. Guzman threw a new lifetime best of 155'9 and followed that performance with a new lifetime best in the disc at 148'9. Junior Heather Hawes won the women's shot with a mark of 39'10.
The Gauchos won 7 of 8 throwing events between the men and women, falling only in the men's javelin.
Men Take on Challenge
The Gaucho men have taken on several challenges this year and have compiled a record of 38-4 in scored competitions. Compiling a score against each team, the Gauchos have competed in a total of seven multi-team or dual scored meets. UCSB has won two duals of the year, against UC Riverside and Cal Poly. Their only scored loses came at the Cal Nevada Championships, where they finished fourth out of 23 teams and at the Big West Challenge, taking runner-up honors to Long Beach St.
The men showed their depth by performing strong across the board while setting 23 season's best performances.
Senior's Evan Walker and Jake Vowels showed they are nearing into championship form with their electric 100m performances. Walker shot out of a cannon, scorching the track in a time of 10.50. Jake Vowels was close behind, lifting his knees and driving his arms to the tape, breaking in 10.69. Freshman Lee Duncan took fifth overall with a time of 10.93. Walker's time would have shattered the UCSB school record if the wind had been a notch lower. The race had been gauged at 2.1, just over the allowable 2.0 for record purposes.
Those three combined with 400m specialist, Winton Nguyen, to win the men's 4 x 100m relay with a new season best time of 41.26. In the weekly team meeting held Friday afternoon in the ICA Auditorium at UCSB, Coach Anderson alluded to the relays getting back on track, "I'd keep an eye on the relays this weekend" Anderson told the team. Not one to talk much, Anderson was spot on in his assessment.
Walker combined with Severiano to take 2-3 in the men's 200m. Walker ran a lifetime best of 21.78 to Severiano's own lifetime half-lap time of 21.80.
In the men's 400m the Gauchos swept the top-3 spots led by Winton Nguyen in 48.74. Karlon Johnson was second in 48.86. Eric Severiano was third in 49.21.
A good teammate picks another up when his is down. A good teammate sets the pace into the wind. A good teammate can give that extra life in your legs as you barrel down the homestretch. A good teammate can carry you to a new PR. One thing has been certain in 2014- if you are lining up with Shyan Vaziri you better buckle up because it's going to be a fast ride.
If it seems like the mid-distances have provided some of the most memorable moments of the season it is because they have. Shyan Vaziri and company were at it again this Saturday. Junior Greg Dotson took the men's 800m out hard, trying to hold off Cal Poly's stud John Guerrero, last year's Big West runner-up in the event. It wasn't Guerrero whom Dotson had to worry about on the final straight, rather Vaziri as he emerged from the depths of the final stagger charging like a lion at dinnertime. Vaziri won in 1:51.93. Dotson recorded his best time of the season in 1:52.32, taking a close second.
Earlier in the day the men's 1500m got the crowd on their feet. Shyan Vaziri took the lead late and threw down another lethal finishing kick- this time with teammate Bryce Rausa in close tow. Cal Poly freshman Clayton Hutchins stayed in the mix late and the final sprint was wild. Bryce Rausa, a hard working steeplechaser by trade, finished in 3:48.91, expanding his range and legitimately becoming a Big West scoring threat in the 800m, 1500m, 3,000m Steeplechase and 5,000m.
Vaziri won the 1500m in 3:46.84, carrying Rausa to a new lifetime best.
In the men's shot put, senior Pat Smith took control of the competition on his first throw and never let it go. Smith threw a lifetime best 51'3.75, winning the key scoring event for the Gauchos as the entire throws squad cheered from the nearby grass. Denley Rodriguez took third with a heave of 50'1.25.
Senior Sean Johnson threw down a season best 110m hurdle effort to win in 14.39. Johnson is rounding into championship form heading into the Big West Championships which are less than two weeks away.
Oscar Pearson won the long and triple jump with marks of 23' and 44'8. Pearson's metric jump of 7.01m was just off his season best leap of 7.02m.
In other notes, Adam Avila ran 9:14.10 to take second in the 3,000m steeplechase. Zach Tombol took second in the javelin with a mark of 174'2.
Next week the Gauchos will take a large combined event squad up to UC Davis for the first weekend of championship action. The heptathlon and decathlon will be held on May 9-10.
The regular Big West Championship will be held one week later on May 16-17.

Keeper of the flame
Simone — daughter of the legendary Nina Simone — honors her mother´s musical legacy
by Lawrence Cosentino
The magnificent jazz, pop and soul singer Nina Simone pumped so much blood and skill into a song that all other versions shriveled to pale little peas in your mind, even if the original artist was Bob Dylan or The Beatles.
Think what it felt like to Nina Simone's daughter.
The powerful singer and Broadway star, who simply calls herself Simone, visits the Wharton Center next week for "Simone on Simone," a program devoted to her mother's music.
"I thought my mother had written every single song she ever sang," Simone said, in a phone interview. "Of course she wrote 'Just Like a Woman!'"
People with no filial relation felt the same way. Nina Simone recast the Dylan song as a fragile ballad, dusted with harp and strings, suspended over a gritty gospel groove. She sealed the steal by changing Dylan's third-person "she" to "I" in the last verse. While the rest of us marveled at Nina Simone's ability to take charge of a song, her daughter took it for granted. "I heard her sing 'Here Comes the Sun' first, and then when I heard the Beatles do it, I was like, 'Ewww,'" Simone said, laughing.
Simone the younger, born Lisa Celeste Stroud in 1962, is ripe for a reckoning with her mother's mighty legacy. She's already conquered Broadway, having laid down a definitive Mimi in the 1996-98 national tour of "Rent" and nailed the title role of Disney's "Aida" in 2002-2003, among other star turns on the boards.
Now she's applying her powerful pipes to a touring show of freewheeling jazz quartet arrangements based on her big-band CD, "Simone on Simone."
There was no agonizing over whether to do "Simone on Simone."
"I knew I was going to do this sooner or later," she said. "When I was culling the songs, it was a very simple, fast process. I've been living with these songs all my life. It's just a matter of which ones I want to do first."
But Simone's polished, ebullient performances of her mother's songs belie the grief she felt while working on the project.
"When I got in the studio, I realized that a lot of the songs I chose to put on the CD, I'd never performed alone," she said. "I always sang along with my Mom."
Nina Simone died in 2003.
"I can't just call her on the phone anymore," Simone said. "I'm it."
More than anyone, Simone knew how her mother could give a song a transfusion of soul and authenticity, turning a song as cheesy as "Feelings" into a raw suicide note.
"Feeling Good," a highlight of the younger Simone's CD and live shows, is a case in point. Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricuss wrote the song for a 1965 Broadway show called "The Roar of the Greasepaint — The Smell of the Crowd," but who remembers that now?
"Mommy took it and turned it into what is now a standard," Simone said. Poor Anthony Newley. The Wikipedia entry on "Feeling Good" goes straight to bullet-point 1: "Nina Simone version," followed by bullet-point 2, "samples" of same.
"From Michael Bublé to Oleta Adams, Jennifer Hudson and on and on, everybody does the song, and when they do it, they do it Mommy's way," Simone said.
(By the way, Nina Simone also recast Frank Sinatra's chest-thumper "My Way" with swaying hips and rocking congas, and ran off with that one as well.)
Simone the younger is on firmest ground exuding the upbeat confidence of "Feeling Good," but steers away from the politically charged songs her mother wrote, including "Mississippi Goddam," a searing response to the murder of Medgar Evers in Mississippi and the 1963 bombing of a black church in Birmingham, Ala.
"I'm not singing protest songs," Simone said. "I'm not singing about politics — at least, not right now I'm not. But my views about the social and political environment in which we're living very much mirror my mother's."
For now, the lyrics of "Feeling Good" — "this old world is a new world and a bold world for me" — suit her well. The "Simone on Simone" CD and tour have sparked a surge of creativity, helped along by a deep immersion in yoga. She's working on a new CD of original songs, to be released in 2012.
"When I imagine myself, it's like a kid," she said. "I literally imagine myself standing on the world, and the world has sunglasses on — not the people, the planet."
She recently uncorked one of the new songs, "All is Well," at a New Mexico gig, and liked the audience´s reaction.
"They were singing it back to me," she said. "I got a glimpse into some of the joy that I will be able to bring to the world in due time, to add to the legacy my mother has already begun."

Young voters are up for grabs, and Gov. Rick Perry thinks Paul Ryan will be the man to win them over.
Youths who feel cheated by President Barack Obama will turn to Ryan's fresh new face this election, Perry said in an interview with Sean Hannity at the Republican National Convention.
Perry hammered home the convention mantra: that Obama did deliver what he promised, and that it's the Republicans who can turn the country around.
"They know this president has been a failed president," Perry said on the show, referring to disenchanted 2008 Obama voters. "In 2012 they believed in it, they bought into it and it failed."
He even warned the president will use the Federal Reserve to bolster the stock market to gain support before the November election, a move Perry said will wreak havoc on the economy for future generations.
"My concern as governor of the state and a father of young Americans is that this president will do antyhing to win," Perry said.
Perry's interview with Hannity was part of a series of media appearances and events he attended in the convention season bolstering his political presence. He's rebuffed claims that he'll run for president again in 2016 after his unsuccessful campaign this year, but he might be prepping for his fourth term as Texas governor.
See where else Perry has been this week.

The Killers Light Up the Stage in 'Runaways' Video
The Killers incorporate road trip and interstellar themes into a basic performance video for the brand new track 'Runaways,' their first official single in more than three years.
Directed by Warren Fu, the video opens with a shot of millions of distant stars in outer space. The camera slowly pans down to frontman Brandon Flowers singing the nostalgic lyrics about a restless young couple. Threatening red clouds appear behind Flowers as the song approaches its explosive chorus.
The clouds eventually morph into rain and then into a shot of a wide-open road before the rest of Flowers' bandmates magically appear behind him out of nowhere. Close-ups of band members playing their instruments on bright red stages are mixed with shots of a glowing road and the skyline of Las Vegas. Some nifty editing gives the Killers a blurry effect when the song reaches its climax.
'Runaways' is the lead single from 'Battle Born,' which is scheduled to hit retailers on Sept. 18. It's the group's first album since 2008′s 'Day & Age,' though Flowers release the solo record 'Flamingo' in the interim. Critics seem to agree that 'Runaways' is a return to form for the multi-platinum band. Check out the video below.

Watching Barack Obama enjoying a pint on Monday at that pub in Moneygall, Ireland — the town of at least some of his forebears — during his visit to that country and the U.K., I couldn't help recalling my own biracial encounters with Ireland. Not surprisingly, the president was given a warm reception. I, too, felt very welcome — with a few exceptions.
It was 1992, and I'd decided that I was going to do a driving tour of the island. I'd long had a fascination with Ireland's politics and culture, especially its rebellious relationship with the land where most of my own white roots lay. Being a bit of a rebel herself, my white English mother — who had married my black American father in the U.K. in 1959 and settled in the U.S. in 1960 — wanted to come along. We decided that we would spend a few weeks traversing Ireland and then take the ferry over to Wales to meet up with relatives.
From the start, landing in Shannon Airport, we had a wonderful time. I even enjoyed navigating the roundabouts and driving on the opposite side of the road. (Being an inexperienced driver of New York City origins, I actually didn't find it as difficult an adjustment as I could have — or as daunting a prospect as I should have!)
This was before the Celtic Tiger — the period of tremendous economic growth, starting in the mid- to late 1990s, that brought many immigrants to Ireland — and so, for most of our visit, I was the darkest thing in town. At our first pub crawl in Bunratty, one guy just kept patting my hair and exclaiming, with a broad smile, "Michael Jackson!"
And overall, that kind of open-faced, even endearing racial cluelessness typified my experience there. I felt very comfortable, and my mother and I happily explored the food, culture, history and incredible scenery. We also enjoyed playing "spot a black person" (usually unsuccessfully) as we drove into town. Most of my more sobering experiences probably had more to do with my being an obvious outsider than with being black.
In Enniskillen, a town in Northern Ireland, I was stopped by a police officer and asked for identification and what I was doing there. But given the town's history with the IRA and its existence along the border with the Republic of Ireland, perhaps they had particular reason to be security-conscious. (This was before the cease-fire of 1994.)
And then there was the time I was walking back alone along the Falls Road after a visit to West Belfast, the Republican, largely Catholic area of the city. To leave that area and return to the "nonsectarian" city center, you had to go through a British-army checkpoint. I thought that this particular checkpoint would make a great photo opportunity, so at what I thought was a discreet distance, I took a bunch of photos of the British soldiers, sitting in their tanks with their guns out.
As I walked toward them, I noticed that one of the soldiers was tracking me in his sights. I found this somewhat disturbing but also thought, "What's he gonna do, shoot me? Nah!" So I continued walking, trying to present my most street-savvy New York demeanor. As I approached him, he said — from behind the very large weapon with which he was still tracking me — "What were you taking pictures of, then?"
By far my most frightening encounter came in a small pub in a town in northwest Ireland, also near the border, called Letterkenny. Unlike most of the towns we visited, from the start this one was less than welcoming. It was very austere looking, drab, and didn't have a "fun" vibe. In the evening my mom and I decided to check out the local pub anyway, and its uninviting atmosphere immediately hit us.
Instead of friendly smiles, we got stares. We headed to a corner and tried to settle in. I forget exactly how long it took, but soon after we sat down, I could hear someone at the bar, muttering. I looked up to see a grizzled, obviously drunk man pointing at me and saying something in a loud whisper. At first I couldn't make it out, but most of the pub's inhabitants kindly shut up so that I could: "Nigger!"
"Who, me?" I looked around and realized that, yes, he must be talking to me. "Wow," I thought. "I had to leave the U.S. and come here to be called that!"
I looked at the other folks sitting in the pub, wondering if they were going to help break up this awkward moment. But I didn't notice any sheepish smiles of apology or sympathy. Just silence. And more stares. My mom and I looked at each other and wordlessly agreed that now might be a good time to leave.
We walked by the bartender as we approached the door, and to his credit, he did come up to us and apologize — he even gave me a lighter with the pub's logo emblazoned on it. Great; a souvenir to commemorate the only time in my life I've ever been called a nigger! I probably still have it somewhere.

You gotta love Town Meeting.
Even if 90 percent of the discussion is about budget numbers that are as dry as a speech by Gov. James Douglas, there's a certain Kabuki-like quality to the charmingly ornate process of gathering to discuss the town's business.
And speaking of Gov. Douglas, he was again absent from his role as moderator, out of Vermont on state business. He's now missed one-third of the town meetings going back to 2005, but Douglas ran again this year for the town moderator spot. It's apparently the one office to which he knows he can still get re-elected.

Please take a look at the current demo: http://andersahlen.com/clients/usac…alone.html
Icons can be seen in the first minute or so (before the software instruction starts). I created these using Visio and need something more professional. It does not have to be cartoony but cartoons are fine. We are looking for something eye-catching.
For the first movie I need 7 icons to represent the following:
1) Application Server (where I can add on a logo or text name such as Primavera, CEFMS, OP, etc.)
2) Database (again, need to add on DB names such as RMS, CAPCES, etc.)
3) Process (I can add on a name -- OP3 in this example)
4) Project Initiator (This is the person who keys in the data into the computer system.. I am currently showing a faceless person at computer and can change the text on the computer screen.)
5) Reports (I need to be able to add a report name)
6) Funds (I will be showing how money is applied)
7) Arrows (to show the life cycle)
Have fun and please let me know if you need any additional information.

The TLV243x and TLV243xA are low-voltage operational amplifier from Texas Instruments. The common-mode input voltage range for each device is extended over the typical CMOS amplifiers making them suitable for a wide range of applications. In addition, these devices do not phase invert when the common-mode input is driven to the supply rails. This satisfies most design requirements without paying a premium for rail-to-rail input performance. They also exhibit rail-to-rail output performance for increased dynamic range in single- or split-supply applications. This family is fully characterized at 3-V and 5-V supplies and is optimized for low-voltage operation. The TLV243x only requires 100 uA (typ) of supply current per channel, making it ideal for battery-powered applications. The TLV243x also has increased output drive over previous rail-to-rail operational amplifiers and can drive 600- loads for telecom applications.
The other members in the TLV243x family are the high-power, TLV244x, and micro-power, TLV2422, versions.
The TLV243x, exhibiting high input impedance and low noise, is excellent for small-signal conditioning for high-impedance sources, such as piezoelectric transducers. Because of the micropower dissipation levels and low-voltage operation, these devices work well in hand-held monitoring and remote-sensing applications. In addition, the rail-to-rail output feature with single- or split-supplies makes this family a great choice when interfacing with analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). For precision applications, the TLV243xA is available and has a maximum input offset voltage of 950 uV.
If the design requires single operational amplifiers, see the TI TLV2211/21/31. This is a family of rail-to-rail output operational amplifiers in the SOT-23 package. Their small size and low power consumption, make them ideal for high density, battery-powered equipment.
