Obama Breaks His Word, Pursues Offshore Drilling in Alaska
In September 2008, mere weeks before the presidential election, Audubon asked John McCain and Barack Obama a series of conservation-themed questions, including one about whether they support drilling in Alaska's Chukchi Sea. Obama's answer was short and clear: "No. I support the efforts of Senator John Kerry and my other colleagues in the Senate to prohibit drilling in the Chukchi Sea."
It sure looks like he's going back on his word.
Today the Obama administration announced plans to open up vast areas of America's waters to oil and natural gas development, including never-before drilled areas in the mid-Atlantic region, eastern Gulf of Mexico, and north coast of Alaska. Over the last year Interior Secretary Ken Salazar directed the effort to reevaluate previous decisions with the aim of developing oil and gas drilling policies on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) that are intended to help reduce the country's dependence on foreign oil, create jobs, and take environmental risks and responsibilities into account.
One bright spot, conservationists say, is that under the plan drilling will be blocked in Alaska's Bristol Bay, an environmentally sensitive area that the Bush administration pushed to open up for offshore drilling in 2007. "With the way stocks are declining around the globe, it's really important to protect this vibrant fishery, where there's both native and commercial fishing," Marilyn Heiman, director of Pew's US Arctic Program, told Audubon. "We are very pleased with his decision on Bristol Bay."
However, the president's drilling plans, which run through 2017, do call for studying the viability of drilling in Alaska's Beaufort and Chukchi seas, home to polar bears, endangered North Pacific right whales, walruses, and other wildlife already at risk from climate change. No new drilling leases will be issued in either sea before 2013. Despite the pledge to undertake extensive studies of the ecosystems, many environmental groups were taken aback by the plan.
"Today's announcement is unfortunately all too typical of what we have seen so far from President Obama – promises of change, a year of 'deliberation,' and ultimately, adoption of flawed and outdated Bush policies as his own," said Brendan Cummings, senior counsel at the Center for Biological Diversity, in a press release. "Rather than bring about the change we need, this plan will further our national addiction to oil and contribute to global warming, while at the same time directly despoiling the habitat of polar bears, endangered whales, and other imperiled wildlife."
Conservation groups are concerned that drilling could further imperil the creatures that depend on the seas. "There's no proven method for cleaning up an oil spill in broken ice," says Heiman.
Still, Heiman points out, the administration is holding off on new leasing until the completion of science studies by the USGS. "We believe that once they look at the science, they will continue to take this cautious approach," she says. "We're going to push very hard to make sure that is the case."
"The administration's selective approach to identifying areas for drilling attempts to reflect the reality that some places are simply too fragile to risk. Though it properly emphasizes the role of sound science in making long-term energy decisions, it fails to protect many highly sensitive areas," says Mike Daulton, Audubon's policy director. "We urge the Obama administration to focus on clean energy priorities and to protect America's special places from the risks of oil drilling."
For example, the decision doesn't affect Shell's leases in the Beaufort and Chukchi seas, purchased during the Bush administration. Last year, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar approved the company's plans to drill exploratory wells this summer in the water bodies. Lawsuits are pending.
The new drilling plan also calls for eventually opening up two-thirds of the eastern Gulf of Mexico's oil and gas resources for drilling; proceed with drilling off the coast of Virginia, pending environmental studies; explore the possibility of drilling off the mid- and southern Atlantic coasts, the LA Times reports.
The move comes just before the Senate is expected to take up a climate bill—legislation that was pushed aside last year as health care took center stage. Obama and Senate Democrats have already taken some heat for making concessions on nuclear power and coal in the legislation crafted by Sens. Kerry, Graham, and Lieberman. While the new drilling plan surely pleases the oil industry, backlash from legislators and environmental groups might further delay passage of a climate bill.

My son's teacher has told him that the number zero(0) is an even number. I disagree and say that it is in a class all its own, neither even or odd. Could someone tell us whether zero(0) is even, odd or neither?
The correct definition of an even number is any number that can be expressed as two multiplied by any integer. An odd number cannot be expressed this way. Zero is an integer. Two times zero is zero. Since we can express zero as two times an integer, zero is an even number. ----- Zero is in a class by itself when you talk about signs. There are positive numbers: numbers greater than zero. In accounting, these represent profits and gains. There are negative numbers: numbers less than zero. In accounting, these represent debts and losses. Then there is zero. In accounting, zero is neither a gain nor a loss.-----

Boys drop games for first time in season
By Kyle Salomon
For the first time this basketball season the Bronco boys did not come away with a win as they went 0-2 last week.
Mustang dropped a nail-biter on the road in overtime to top-five ranked Edmond Santa Fe 67-63 on Jan. 14, then fell to No.1 Putnam City West 75-62 at home last Friday night.
The two losses drop the Broncos' overall regular season record to 8-3 on the year.
"Our defense let us down in the fourth quarter against Edmond Santa Fe," Mustang head coach Terry Long said. "They made the plays down the stretch and we didn't."
Against Edmond Santa Fe, Mustang got off to a hot start offensively as the Broncos put up 23 points in the first period behind solid play on the perimeter from guards Terrell Williams and Jakolby Long. However, Mustang's defense wasn't as impressive in the first period as it allowed 21 points to the Timberwolves. The Broncos led 23-21 after one.
It was a night and day difference in the second period following the first as both offensives went dry and the defensive intensity picked up for both schools. Mustang mustered just 10 points in the period as its outside shooting went cold, but Edmond Santa Fe's offense went colder than the Broncos' as the T-Wolves put up a mere eight points in the period. MHS led ESF by four at 33-29 heading into the halftime break.
In the third period the Broncos played their best frame of the game as they were stout offensively and stifling defensively, making life miserable for the Edmond Santa Fe players. Mustang scored 14 points, but they were starting to pound the ball inside to their post players, and Long was taking the ball to the basket at will against the ESF guards. MHS held the Timberwolves to seven points in the period, taking a 47-36 advantage into the final period.
As good as the Broncos played in the third period, they played that bad in the fourth. Mustang allowed Edmond Santa Fe to score 20 points in the period and the Broncos mustered only nine, which made the score tied at the end of regulation. The Broncos missed numerous layup attempts, which would have sealed the Mustang victory instead of the score being tied at 56 heading into overtime.
The Timberwolves continued their hot streak in the extra frame and the Broncos continued to struggle. Edmond Santa Fe escaped with the comeback win at 67-63.
"We just played too inconsistent to win the basketball game," Long said. "You can't play that inconsistent against a good team on the road and expect to win the basketball game."
Mustang closed the game with 14 turnovers and made 14 out of 25 foul shots on the night.
Long finished the game with 16 points and nine rebounds. Williams had 16 points and four rebounds. Demarion Love totaled nine points and three rebounds. Geoffrey Hightower had eight points and five rebounds.
Austin Meyer had four points and five rebounds. Isaiah Hammons had three points and one rebound, and Chandler Garrett added two points and five rebounds.
Against Putnam City West the Broncos and Patriots played neck and neck throughout the first period. Mustang was riding the intensity that the packed Mustang High School gym was giving them as they were having success on offense. Putnam City West had a strong offensive period as well as its outside shot-making against the Mustang zone hurt MHS. The Broncos trailed 18-17 after one period.
It was much of the same as the offensive consistency for PC West was too much for Mustang to stop as they extended their lead in the second period over the Broncos. Mustang's offense struggled in the second period against the pressure from the Patriots. PC West led Mustang at the half 35-30.
Several times throughout the third period the Broncos came back and forced a tie against the Patriots, but each time PC West would answer with a run of its own, extending the lead back to near double digits. Mustang outscored PCW in the period, cutting the lead to four points heading into the final frame of the game. MHS trailed Putnam City West 51-47 after three.
The Patriots took control of the game in the fourth period as they were able to extend their lead to double-digits against the Broncos. Mustang's offense was solid as they put 15 points on the board, but the Broncos could not get a stop against PCW as the Patriot guards were dissecting through the Mustang D. PC West coasted to the 13-point victory.
Mustang ended the game with 12 turnovers and made 12 out of 17 foul shots on the night.
Long had 21 points and five rebounds. Meyer had 15 points and 10 rebounds for a double-double. Williams totaled nine points and three rebounds. Hightower finished with six points and three rebounds.
Love totaled five points and three rebounds. Colbert finished with four points and one rebound, and Garrett had two points and five rebounds.
"When you are playing a good team, you have to play well to have a chance to win the game," Long said. "I thought at moments we played well but we didn't play consistent enough to give ourselves a real chance to win the game. They made more plays in the fourth quarter than we did."

While on one hand the battle between online and offline retail shopping always seems to be heated up, intelligent business people cunningly ignore the gap on the other side. Rather than fighting from each side, they prefer to fill the gap and make a smooth bridge between these two systems. This is the only way to ensure the development of any business these days. If both sides are planned and managed properly, the small problems of a business can also be wiped out.
Make a website to inform
Making a website for your retail business can be a good idea if you feel the urge to capture the big market. Don't try to sell things via your online store at the very first moment. You must take time as you are new in the online business. Try to introduce people with your products, services as well as your existing retail store using the Internet. You may open a space for blogging or comments at your website. You may also set a section in your website where your retail customers can share their experience about your retail store. In this way, you can communicate with your existing consumers to ensure their repetitive presence in your retail store and know their requirements as well as related feedbacks. That information will surely help you out to get in touch with other online users. After few days, you may gradually start running your online store gradually. Those who already got the taste of your products or services will not hesitate to buy things from you. Similarly, those who have seen your relevance in your website will also show interest upon your products.
Make your business localized
Go through the consumer report very carefully to know howpeople around your store like to shop. Most of the people genuinely prefer to get location-based services. Take that advantage as because in this way you can capture the local market and reign on it. Locate the consumers who reside nearby your store by taking their phone number or email address. Inform them about special offers and services with attractive pictures via email. Include the location of your retail store via a map from different areas of your locality so that people feel free to come to your shop very easily whenever they want. Use the Internet for alluring the consumers and if you do it perfectly then it will fetch you more traffic than any other online stores.
Mobile Shopping
Mobile shopping is certainly the most beneficial way with which you can easily bridge the gaps of online and offline business. You may allow the consumers to pay the bills using their smartphone. By sending notifications or allowing the users to take a glance of your product via their mobile phones is the best possible way of informing as well as alluring them to both your online and offline stores. You may use it for sending the gift cards and other beneficial cards as well.
When you are running a business from both the parts it is very essential to remain relevant to your ethics. Buyers prefer clarity as well as affordability. If you give them the same, you business can soon touch the sky.

Cleanliness Is Next To Godliness
Your windshield washers are a valuable safety system on your car or truck. And like other automotive systems, this one can require a little maintenance.
Does fluid pump languidly out of the nozzle? Or squirt out healthily right over the top of the vehicle, washing the windshield of the car behind you in the drive-through lane? Try cleaning and aiming the nozzles. Most washer nozzles can be aimed by simply sticking a straight pin in them and repointing them. This procedure may also clean out any accumulated junk. If that doesn't help, you may have debris elsewhere in the line or in the pump. Or, there may be a leak. Starting at the nozzle, follow the hose back to the pump. Pull the hose off at the pump outlet and give the washers a good squirt. If there's plenty of volume, try cleaning the lines with compressed air or water. Pull the hose off at the nozzle, and remove the nozzle from the hood or cowl. You may need to squeeze a tab with pliers or push the nozzle back against a spring to remove it. Clean the nozzle with running water or compressed air. If you have wet-arm wipers with the nozzles mounted on the wiper arms, you can pull the arms off. If there's a check valve, clean it as well, remembering that fluid should flow in only one direction. Clean the hose too. Now might be a good time to replace the hoses if your car is 10 or more years old.
Is the flow from the pump motor insufficient? Try cleaning the motor inlet, which may involve removing the tank from the fender. It's generally held in place with three or four fasteners. If other underhood items make removal difficult, leave the tank in place and remove the pump. Disconnect any electrical connections to the tank. Most pumps are held in place with a simple friction fit into a c-section grommet in the tank wall. A little wiggling generally will be enough to remove it. Remember that any liquid in the tank will drain out, so don't wear new white sneakers unless you want them to be dyed blue. If there's any debris in the tank, flush it thoroughly and vow to clean your funnel before refilling. Be sure the cap fits snugly and is in place to prevent road grime from creeping into the tank.
With the pump out and on your bench, gently clean any debris out of the inlet. Don't just blow backward with compressed air--you may damage a check valve at the pump outlet. Try cleaning the inlet with running water. Don't use solvents. Reinstall the pump and refill.
Aiming the washer nozzles is often as simple as inserting a needle or pin. This may help to clear debris as well.
Some nozzles can be removed by sliding them fore or aft in their mount (above), while others may require squeezing their mounting tabs with pliers to loosen them (below).

Here's what the critics say:
"An uplifting comic tale well told." SF Chronicle
"An entertaining, no-holds barred look at life as an employee of Disneyland...This is a surprisingly and impressively physical performance by Allen." Stark Insider

Hey kids!
Working for the Mouse resumes its ride at Exit Theatre from November 3 to December 17. Tickets are on sale now!
We had an awesome run over at Impact Theatre in June and July--picked up some sweet reviews, including the clapping man from the San Francisco Chronicle, and we even extended the run! And now we're back at the Exit, where we had some terrific shows as part of the SF Fringe Festival some years back.

Hiya, Mouse Heads! So, as promised (you thought I forgot, didn't you?) I am happy to announce that Working for the Mouse, the play, is coming back to the Bay Area!
Yep, the solo show that started it all is returning to Impact Theatre on June 23! They're the scrappy little theatre in Berkeley that was brave enough to mount that very successful production several years ago. I've been very busy working as a playwright on a few projects and working with my own little theatre company, Black Box Theatre, but now I am really pleased to work on this new production. But this is just a limited run.
So, if you've never seen the live show but you've been enjoying the YouTube clips and you want to know the rest of the story...c'mon down! If you did see the original run, well...come on back, all your favorite characters will be there! It's been a blast getting this baby back on its feet. It's really energized me to get back to working on the book...but more about that later. I hope to see you in the theatre!
Trevor gets voice clearance! Listen to him read from Mouse Droppings.

I suddenly want some japanese iris for my yard. But when I went to check things out at the iris forum, there seemed to be agreement that japanese iris (or JI as they call them in the iris forum) do not do well in zone 7. They have to be transplanted every 3 years or they become buggy, exhaust the soil and have other work-inducing downsides. However, I noticed that, although the complainers were zone 7, they weren't our zone 7.
So what has been the experience of people in this region with japanese iris? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I tried some small starts a few years ago, in an area that probably had too much shade and competition for them. They are supposed to tolerate shade better than other iris, though. Also, it's my understanding they like moisture, and although I have heavy clay soil, the spot I planted them in gets quite dry in late summer. In any case, they disappeared, as so many things do in my heavy clay soil and shady garden. If you really want some, I would acquire some full-sized ones already well rooted and actively growing in pots, and then place them in a site which is entirely to their liking, and without any serious competition. In other words, plant tham at the season they prefer, at the lighting and moisture level they want, and with the soil type and drainage they prefer. They are sold here in local garden shops, so some must be having success with them. If you have a site with good drainage and full sun, you might consider bearded iris instead. They will do well as long as their corms are not planted too deeply. I had to place mine on top of the soil and stabilize with rocks to keep them from rotting. |

Product Technology
Nanoair Spring in the resin binds the carbon fibres so that nanoscale air bubbles in the material help the racquet to flex and bend as in a spring. the result is a better transfer of energy from string-bed to shuttle for a more powerful hit.
The ISOMETRIC™ equalizes the length of the main and cross strings in the string-bed, enlarging the sweet spot for more consistent accuracy even on off-centre hits.
Moulded deep into the layers of graphite where the frame connects with the shaft, the YONEX Built-in T-Joint creates a durable and high-strength one-piece frame that is torque-free.
The control support cap provides an 88% wider flat surface compared with an ordinary racquet for easier gripping, fast follow-through and the sharpest maneuverability.

Authorities say man threw firework at police
A Wisconsin man was accused of throwing a firework at police after locking himself in a bathroom stall in a Wadsworth McDonald's, according to the Lake County Sheriff's Office.
Justin Koch, 24, of Plymouth, was charged with felony aggravated battery to a police officer and misdemeanor charges of aggravated assault and disorderly conduct, the sheriff's office said in a news release.
At about 5:30 p.m. Friday, Lake County deputies responded to a call of a person locked in a bathroom stall at the BP gas station/McDonald's on Route 41 in Wadsworth.
After Koch did not respond to the deputies, officers partially kicked open a panel of the stall door, the release said. Deputies could see Koch was blocking the door, "slouched over and unresponsive," authorities said.
When police tried to force their way in, Koch tried to keep them out, according the release. There were three bangs and "a flash of light" from within the stall, authorities said. Deputies evacuated the gas station and McDonald's.
After the tactical response team arrived and began negotiating, Koch surrendered, authorities said.
Koch allegedly told police he had thrown a lit firework at the deputies because he was scared.
Koch is free on $200,000 bail, according to Amanda Groeller of the Lake County Jail. He is due in court April 1, according to Cynthia Trujillo Vargas, spokeswoman for the Lake County sheriff.
Koch could not be reached for comment.

Webster Police say a driver who hit and killed an elderly man Thursday was drunk and on drugs.
The crash happened on Holt Road in Webster. Police say 77-year-old Martin Abkowitz was hit and killed. The driver, 65-year-old Cheryl Tobin, is charged with vehicular manslaughter, DWI and driving while ability impaired by drugs.
The family of Abkowitz and neighbors are speaking out. Abkowitz lived in Webster with his wife and two kids for more than 40 years. Reaction to his death has been mixed with sadness and anger after learning his life was cut short by a driver who police say was drunk and was on drugs.
Ginnie McConnell, neighbor, said, "I think it's horrible. How are you at 4 o'clock in the afternoon on influence on drugs and alcohol? At 4:00 p.m.? I mean, there are children arriving home from school and all kinds of things. How on earth can this happen in our community?"
News10NBC has learned that Abkowitz was an electronic materials researcher. He worked at Xerox for more than 30 years as a scientist and was recently a visiting scientist at the UR.
News10NBC learned that he died doing what he loved. His family says he was an avid runner and loved to walk to the local Y almost every single day. His wife says he went for a walk Thursday because the temperatures warmed up a little.
The incident happened on Holt Road, a very short distance from Abkowitz's home. It was actually only a block or so from where Cheryl Tobin was living. News10NBC stopped by the house she was staying at.
Michelle Kirschbaum, Tobin's family friend, said, "Our deepest condolences go to the family of the man who lost his life yesterday. It's a terrible thing that happened and we feel very sorry about that, but like I said, if you want to find out more about Cheryl and what happened and what her story is because all humans have stories. I would encourage you to reach out to her."
Cheryl Tobin is still at the Monroe County Jail. Her bond is set at $100,000 or $50,000 cash bail.
Abkowitz's wife was too distraught to go on camera, but she did say that she hopes there will be justice not only for her husband, but for society. She says a tragedy like this affects all of us and that certainly rings true in the Webster community.

Over the river and through the woods
To Grandmother's house we go
The horse knows the way to carry the sleigh
Through the bright and drifting snow-oh
Over the river and through the woods
Oh how the wind does blow
It stings the nose and bites the toes
As over the ground we go.
This traditional Thanksgiving-time song would be present in my mind as we made the five hour drive north to Grandma and Grandpa's farm in the Big Woods when I was a little kid. I'd watch the tree-lined miles slip by with my nose pressed up against the glass car window, steaming up the pane. The farm was a magical place to come for Thanksgiving dinner, which it still is even now that I live here full time.
Coming down to the farm has, historically, been a memorable part of Thanksgiving traditions for many families. Why else would there be all the fuss over the turkey, the stuffing, the gravy, the golden winter squash with caramelized drizzle, the mashed potatoes with melting butter, the custardy pumpkin pie with Grandma's famous crust, or the ruby-red cranberry sauce? These are all bountiful parts of late autumn's harvest on the farm—lovingly raised and lovingly prepared by family for family.
We've all heard the stories of the "original" Thanksgiving dinner. But however true or fabled this national story is, the Thanksgiving holiday we celebrate today was established by Abraham Lincoln at the end of the Civil War to give thanks for the preservation of the Union. The reuniting of family (some of whom travel great distances) around the farm table is, in its own way, a celebration of the coming together of the disparate factions of our country. If nothing else, at least we can be grateful for the harvest together.
And there is much to be grateful for this year. In the Northland, the drought was not as severe as further downstate. Our farm was spared any fires, tornadoes, or large hale. We hope to have enough hay to get by. The turkeys grew up healthy and vigorous, as did the lambs and piglets. The garden is harvested and nearly all put to bed, and life is winding down towards its winter routines. It's a time for reflection on the growing season's learning points, with plans beginning for the coming season's preparations.
A good old fashioned agrarian Thanksgiving is not about football, or a parade, or a shopping frenzy—it is about giving the gift of time to each other. Time to talk, share stories, and laugh; time to peel potatoes and pass the apple cider; and time to relax by the stone fireplace and read a book aloud or play a rousing game of Sorry or Backgammon.
There's something about the smell of a traditional Thanksgiving dinner, made by hand with farm-fresh ingredients. It is amazing how much more flavorful a turkey can be when it spent its life on grass and was never injected with oil and salt. The aromas of the baking stuffing with bread, celery, and herbed pork sausage can drive an imaginative and hungry child nearly crazy with anticipation—but of course, the wait always makes the difference.
The commercial food system has taught us not to wait for food anymore, that having to wait for our meal is somehow bad. Why peel those potatoes you dug out of your garden when you can mix them up right out of this box? Why boil and mash those cranberries from your neighbor down the road when you can just plop it out of this can? Why even bake the turkey when you can have this plastic-encased rotisserie chicken instead? Well, folks, have any of those pre-processed items actually made you feel better than the home-grown variety?
There is a reason they don't. They may be easier, but they are not fulfilling. In many folk cultures, it is considered unwise to allow someone in a bad mood to fix a meal. This is because that unhappy energy is believe to be transmitted to the food, which will not be physically, socially, or mentally nourishing for the people who eat it. Why were Mother's cookies hot and gooey out of the oven always the best? Because, besides being full of chocolate chips, they were packed full of motherly love. While this idea is not easily proved by science, experience can speak for itself. I would take a homegrown turkey prepared by my grandmother over a rotisserie chicken any day!
That poor rotisserie chicken was raised on a factory farm, butchered by a series of machines, and shipped a long distance before being roasted in a commercial oven somewhere in corporate America. This is the processed food reality that we live in. The chicken might never have seen a person, let alone felt love or care. Something is missing on the ingredient list that we all need—nurturing attention.
Getting back to foods infused with nurturing attention means reaching back and embracing traditional agrarian meals prepared the old fashioned way. Michael Pollan, the author of "Omnivore's Dilemma" and "In Defense of Food," says, "Don't eat anything your great-grandmother wouldn't recognize as food." This is certainly a great place to start when choosing what to eat. I never did know my great grandmothers, but I suspect that they would have preferred their own garden, the local butcher shop, and the farmer's market over the commercial food industry.
Small-scale, sustainably minded farmers have learned to focus their lifestyle on what really matters—doing the right thing for the land, their family, and their community. And that is something to give thanks for this holiday. Maybe you and your family can even take a moment this week to share your thanks with your farmer—they probably don't hear it very often.
I don't know what your Thanksgiving will be like this year, but I hope it is filled with the warmth, love, and care that surrounds the old farm dinner table. I hope it is encircled by smiling friends and family, accompanied by the friendly waging tails of beloved pets. Maybe you will even take a moment to go outside and enjoy this beautiful corner of earth we live upon. And most of all, I hope that we shall all take this moment to give thanks, together. See you down on the farm sometime.

Match-play experience, players accustomed to winning tournaments and fiery passion are just a few things that will make fifth-seeded Spain a dangerous team at this year's inaugural International Crown, July 24-27.
Spain's trio of Azahara Munoz, Beatriz Recari and Carlota Ciganda are no strangers to match play, combining for a 10-4-2 mark at the last two Solheim Cups, both of which were won by Team Europe. Munoz comes into the International Crown with more than $3 million in career LPGA earnings and six top-10s in 2014.
The 2012 Sybase Match Play Championship winner, Munoz is 4-3-1 in two Solheim Cup appearances and teamed with Ciganda for a four-ball victory in Colorado last year. A two-time tournament winner on the Ladies European Tour, Munoz has amassed 24 career top-10s on the LPGA Tour and will be a strong link in the chain for Spain.
Munoz and Ciganda also have the experience of not only playing at the host site of Caves Valley Golf Club in Owings Mills, Md., but they led Arizona State to the 2009 NCAA team title there. Memories from that triumph could propel them to do great things in July.
Recari has three career LPGA victories and won an LET event in 2009. Two of her LPGA wins came last year, when she went 3-1-1 for Team Europe in the Solheim Cup and defeated Angela Stanford 2&1 in singles play.
Recari has struggled this season, missing six of nine cuts heading into this week's U.S. Women's Open, but playing with her compatriots again may help turn things around for the player with 19 career LPGA top-10s and more than $1.9 million in career earnings.
Ciganda was a perfect 3-0-0 at last year's Solheim Cup, beating Morgan Pressel 4&2 in singles on the final day. Ciganda, who has two career LPGA top-10s, won twice on the LET in 2012 en route to the Rookie of the Year title and winning the Order of Merit.
The fourth member of Team Spain, Belen Mozo, also played in that 2009 NCAA Championship and led USC to a third-place finish. The 2008 NCAA individual champion, Mozo was a four-time All-American who won the Women's British Amateur Championship and the British Girls Amateur Championship the same year.
Mozo has had a good summer so far, notching two of her three career LPGA top-10s, including a tie for fourth at the Manulife Financial LPGA Classic in Canada earlier this month. The friendly Mozo will be good for team chemistry and will be a tough opponent inside the ropes.
Spain kicks off play on Thursday with a four-ball match against No. 4 Thailand, then follows up with a battle against top-seeded United States on Friday. The Spaniards may need a win over eighth-seeded Australia on Saturday to clinch a spot in the four-team semifinals.
This is the fourth of eight looks at the teams set to compete in the inaugural International Crown, July 24-27, at Caves Valley Golf Club in Owings Mills, Md. LPGA.com will continue to roll out these features every Friday leading up to the four-day event, so stay tuned for more in-depth descriptions of each four-member team.
