Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center
Reintroduction and restoration programs can benefit from examination of the context of the larger forces influencing ecosystem change. The Prairie Ecozone is one of the most severely impacted ecosystems in Canada, particularly in relation to changes in the extent, distribution and composition of native prairie habitat for wildlife. Conversion of native prairie to cropland has been the primary factor altering the majority of shortgrass and tallgrass prairie and aspen parkland habitats. Urban development and transportation have impacted on much of the remaining land. Prairie conservation efforts now tend to focus on remaining native prairie and on rangelands used primarily for extensive cattle grazing.
Fragmentation, size reduction, and isolation of habitats create impediments for species reintroductions and large area ecological restoration on the prairies. This paper describes biophysical changes in Canadian prairie habitats at landscape and ecoregion levels relative to changing human land uses and the socio-cultural and economic forces that have driven land use change. It discusses the implications of those changes and forces for swift fox conservation, prairie ecological restoration in general and issues of ecosystem management of the prairies.

Contact Sports Desk: Call: 603-516-2949 / E-mail: email@example.com Red Sox ride big inning past Jays
Friday, June 28, 2013
BOSTON — Jon Lester pitched into the eighth inning before leaving with an apparent injury, and Dustin Pedroia homered in a seven-run second to help the Boston Red Sox beat the Toronto Blue Jays 7-4 in the opener of a four-game series Thursday night.
Lester (8-4) was charged with four runs on five hits with five strikeouts and three walks in winning for just the second time in his last eight starts.
Yet it wasn't enough to make up for Boston's blistering start. |

A conversation with the first PlayStation Vita hacker
Those hoping to see a PlayStation Vita hack could have their wishes answered in a few months. Some anonymous programmers announced they discovered an exploit allowing them application-level (userland) access into the Sony gaming device.
Before you get all excited about the idea of illegally downloading full PS Vita games, you should know that this purported hack can't grant such abilities. However, if the group of developers creates a loader, the hack could open the door for homebrew, and more importantly, emulation. Which means that one day the Vita could play Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Nintendo DS, Sega, and many other games, similar to a hacked PSP. … Read more

Chatting With the Next Iron Chef: Redemption Runner-Up
by Sarah De Heer in Shows, December 23rd, 2012The fifth season of The Next Iron Chef: Redemption was full of ups and downs, but one thing is for sure: All eight chefs redeemed themselves in one way or another.
Every week, each chef tried to pull out all their tricks to stay in the competition but, ultimately, one chef went home each week. This week we said goodbye to two (read exclusive exit interviews).
It all came down to two – for the first time, it was an all-female Kitchen Stadium battle finale. After saying goodbye to Chef Appleman in Las Vegas, Chefs Freitag and Guarnaschelli traveled to New York City to create a menu that would eventually change one chef's life forever. Chef Freitag walked away from Las Vegas with a roast chicken dish the judges deemed perfect. In Kitchen Stadium, each chef had to create three dishes featuring two of the Chairman's Secret Ingredients, which paid homage to three long-standing Iron Chefs: Chef Flay, Chef Morimoto and Chef Symon. While Chef Freitag's menu, consisting of feta burrata, lamb with eggplant puree and a corn cake, was successful, Chef Alex Guarnaschelli inched her out slightly with her cherry tart. Chef Freitag battled her way to the finale, and even though she lost, she proved to viewers and readers that she deserved to be there.
The first challenge in the final episode was themed around Passion and you had to create Geoffrey Zakarian's last meal. What would your last supper be and why?
AF: My last supper would probably be fresh pasta with butter and cheese. It is the most comforting, satisfying plate of food.
You perfected roast chicken in the finale. What tips can you share with our cooks to help them do the same thing?
AF: Always buy free-range chickens and season the chicken well with salt and pepper. I like to roast the chicken at a higher temperature of 425 degrees F to start and then finish the roasting time at 350 degrees F. Always use a meat thermometer to determine doneness.
Did cooking with marshmallows and squid — and winning that challenge of fusion — help you sympathize with or relate to the Chopped contestants you judge, who are often forced to marry disparate ingredients?
AF: I always relate to the Chopped contestants because I have competed so much and I too have been "chopped" when I competed on Chopped: All Stars. I do feel that the Fusion challenge was as cruel as a Chopped basket for sure!
What are three words you'd use to describe standing at the altar in front of the Chairman, waiting for him to unveil the winner?
AF: Anxious, frightened and excited.
What was a highlight or your favorite challenge and how was it compared to the first season you competed in?
AF: My favorite challenge was Transcendence. I enjoyed working on a team with Chef Appleman. The nature of the work we do as chefs is almost always a team effort and that is one of the reasons why I love what I do. Redemption was so different than my first competition because it was like coming home, but with a whole different set of rules and even stiffer competition.
How has this experience changed you? What's next for you?
AF: This experience has taught me a lot about myself and gave me the ability to showcase my culinary talents to the world and my peers. I am looking forward to starting my own business and continuing to grow as a chef and a food expert.

It is difficult to understand how this determination came about. Consistently throughout the competition, Chef Freitag came out on top. The judging should have been a compedium of the performances throughout the competition rather than basing it on one meal, nay, not even that, but on a dessert. I have tremendous respect for Chef Guarnaschelli, but I was shocked at the outcome as I see many others were as well. Something does not seem right here.
You know, if I were food network, any time I saw the word "rigged" or "fixed" in one of these comments, I'd ignore that comment and move right along to the next. I've seen this on other blogs at this site too.
The way these blogs work:
People form into two groups: one has viewpoint A and the other has viewpoint B.
Everybody who holds viewpoint A gives a thumbs up to every post from people who hold viewpoint A and a thumbs down to those who hold viewpoint B
Everybody who holds viewpoint B does the opposite.
In neither case is the thumbs up or down based on whether the person's writing was actually good, useful, incisive, or actually worth reading.In other words, this – and all other food network blogs I've looked at – are nothing more than mutual masturbation societies.
I have an opinion about who I think the best competitors were – but you know, I'm not going to tell you; if I happen to disagree with you, you will call me a "hater". I see numerous comments doing just that on this very blog.
One opinion I WILL share is that I completely reject the idea that the competition was "fixed". Did any of those who stated that actually read Simon Majumbar's article about how he judged the final test? No? Or are you saying that he is lying?
And I will also correct those who say that Alex is Geoffrey's "sous chef". I assume you mean on Iron Chef competitions. She is executive chef in her own restaurants in real life – and I am quite sure she will not be anybody's "sous chef" on Iron Chef competitions any more.
I can't say the competition was rigged, but it is obvious that the elimination type of competition that FN uses to arrive at the winner will not always result in the best overall chef winning the title. FN needs to change the way it scores the competitors and who gets to move on as the contest progresses. What happened here is that Guarnaschelli squeeked by each week, while others including Frietag kicked butt on some of the challenges. Guarnaschelli managed to stay in (just barely), and then, according to Simon M., won by a whisker with her cherry/chili dessert.
In my opinion, Amanda won, but the way the game is played ended up with a lesser talent gaining the title. How about a Frietag vs. Guarnaschelli battle?
I liked the three who made it to the finale the best of all the competitors. I was sorry to see any of them go down!
You have a point about how the all-or-nothing scoring can eliminate somebody who had been, prior to that one contest, the stronger competitor. I'm really not sure how they can change that, if they are going to have an "eliminate one contestant per week" format; it would feel just as unfair if an elimination cookoff went to the one who made a notably inferior offering, but had been stronger overall in previous competitions.
I think they'd have to change the format such that every chef cooked in every competition and at the end, each chef's performances were evaluated as a whole, such that the chef who ultimately prevailed was the one who was strongest over all of the tests.
I, too, would love to see Amanda vs. Alex in a true ICA match – five dishes, one secret ingredient.
For the most part, I agree with your post. But I do disagree with your comments about the use of the term "hater". I used that word, not because I disagreed with the opinion or the preference of some of the writers. I used the term because I found the language, some of which I cannot repeat, offensive or inappropriate. The accusations of dishonesty were founded on particular preferences, as you noted.
I didn't like a couple of the contestants. But I haven't called them names or accused them of dishonesty. I was frankly happy to see them go, but I didn't say ugly things about them.
I've watched most of these chefs for years. Some I like, some I don't. But I credit all of them with being at the top of their fields. I might not have been happy if one of them had won, but I'd not be crying 'FIX; or "SEXIST' or some other derogatory term.
One final point… had I been in Zakarian's position, I'd not have been happy to see Alex win. He now loses some of the best support available in his contests in Kitchen Stadium.-
Fair enough. The name calling, screams of "fixed!" etc. here are sickening.
And your point about Zakarian is interesting: he does, in fact, lose a talented assistant in his own Iron Chef competitions. If he were, somehow, "fixing" the competition by voting for Alex at all stages (which he did not, if you remember the earlier competitions in this series in which he found faults with some of her dishes), he was acting against his own best interest.
I ws shocked that Appleman and Freitag were not the two finalists. I like Alex, but Amanda CLEARLY cooked better throughout the entire competition. Poor sense of propriety putting Zakarian on as a judge with his sous chef as one of the contestants. Do we really have to say it doesn't "pass the smell test?' Freitag was robbed. Period.
Alex Gurn-faking-whatever CANNOT be the next iron chef. I will never watch any one of her stinking episodes. What BULLSHIT was that?? She doesn't win anything, and bests out 2 of the great women on the show. WTF? THIS IS SO RIGGED.
I'm protesting iron chef! That was obviously biased, she was one of the judges sous chefs! Really, plus she's not iron chef material. She's weak!never watching again!
I was shocked. It should not have been with Zacharian sitting in judgement. Guaranschelli is arrogant, often unnecessarily cruel to the contestants when she serves as a judge. She often takes an arbitrary position for the sake of being arbitrary!!! That cherry dessert did NOT an Iron Chef make I am very sorry, Amanda and we do want to see more of you with your own show.
Congrats to Chef Freitag, got to know u better through this season. To see u have grown and blossomed to be amazing! Even though u did not win the competition, I believe you've won the hearts n respect of many!
This is so rigged! Alex should have NOT won. Faulkner should of won this or Amanda. Alex is not Iron Chef material. All her dishes, she played safe through the whole show. Food Network u r disappointing all of us viewer.
Without being able to taste the food, I feel Chef Freitag won because "she won the majority of the cook-offs contests." Here dishes were the favorites of the judges the majority of the time so at the end splitting hairs should have gone her way.
Agreed. Chef Morimoto even said that Alex cooked 'ordinary' dishes. Amanda definitely should have won.
We also believe Chef Freitag was robbed! She cooked better dishes the whole show, and Alex skimped along by the skin of her teeth and other people's dishes just being worse. Chef Freitag won multiple challenges and took chances in her kitchen stadium dishes, while Alex just cooked regular food. We watch a lot of Food network contests, and have always agreed with the Next Food Network Star results, but we have been disappointed by the last TWO Next Iron Chefs, the winners did not deserve it. And yes, we think Chef Faulkner got robbed last year too! We will stop watching Next Iron Chef contests from now on. We feel we wasted our time watching this show for the last couple months, when it seems the final judgement was rigged. We have no desire to even watch a regular Iron Chef competition with Alex in it, her talents will likely be challenged and beat multiple times in the future.

What To Do If Your Doctor Doesn't Believe You Are In Pain
December 4, 2012
Pain is a highly subjective medical concern. Unlike broken bones and measurable illnesses, pain is different for each person. Some patients fear that their physician won't believe them when the patient says they're in pain. This can apply to acute pain or even long-term, chronic pain in any area of the body. So why might a doctor dismiss a patient's claim that they're in pain? The Drug DilemmaOn a regular basis, doctors are faced with patients seeking unneeded pain medications for illegal, recreational use. Over 125,000 people a year die from adverse medication interactions in hospitals alone. This does not include non-hospital recreational use and addictions. This can lead your doctor to become jaded and suspicious. Unfair? Yes. So, what can you do? The first step is to become better informed about your condition and any related pain that it causes. Next, maintain a pain diary to better inform your doctor of what you are going through. The American Chronic Pain Association provides helpful tools for communicating the timing, location, and intensity of pain to your doctor. Showing your doctor a record of your pain levels will legitimize your statements. Learn About Your ConditionThe more you know about your medical condition, the better you can communicate with your doctor. Being better informed alters the relationship you have with your doctor. When you can discuss the causes of your pain more knowledgeably and specifically, your doctor is more likely to listen. This is especially true with soft tissue pain, such as whiplash and Fibromyalgia, which can be difficult to assess and measure. These medical issues do not show up on x-rays or MRIs and there are no conclusive tests that can be performed. This doesn't make them any less painful, but it can be difficult for your doctor to accept your descriptions of pain without proper descriptions of what's causing your pain, or how it feels. Being better informed about your overall health and medical conditions empowers you and improves your treatment's effectiveness. Rather than suffering the depression, anxiety, and sleeplessness that often accompany chronic pain, you can take better care of yourself as you search for solutions. Consider The AlternativesPain medication is a miracle for those who need it, but the side-effects can be as devastating and debilitating as the condition itself. Before throwing in the towel and resigning yourself to a life of pain, consider the alternatives and exhaust all safe, conservative options first. Physical rehab, massage, and acupuncture have provided relief to millions of pain sufferers. If none of those efforts produce results, consider interventional pain management. Interventional pain management avoids many of the problems associated with drug intervention by injecting a mild anesthetic with a diluted steroid injection directly into the pain site, reducing or eliminating the pain without adversely affecting other parts of your body. Unlike cortisone injections, which can damage the surrounding tissue while only providing temporary relief, interventional pain management provides an effective, safer long term solution. It is a frightening and frustrating experience when your doctor does not believe that you are in pain. If your doctor simply will not listen, please find another doctor.

Thought I'd share. Hopefully it's not too cheesy. Had the day off work and was inspired to put something on paper. Ultimately, I'd like to make a video of Blues footage throughout the years with this being read over it. But I'm not skilled enough to do that sort of thing.
To be a Blues fan…
It means Hall, Plante, the Plagers
Arbour, Bowman, Berenson
The Barn
It means 3 straight Cup finals without a single win
Anonymous faces in the background when Orr scored 'The Goal'
It means Unger, Federko, Babych
Sutter, Liut, a young Gilmour
The Checkerdome
It means almost packing up to Saskatoon
Following "DOUG WICKENHEISER!" and the Monday Night Miracle with a crushing Game 7 loss
It means The Golden Brett
72, 86, 70 in 3 straight years
Hull and Oates, Cujo, Shanahan
The House that Brett Built
It means 25 straight years in the playoffs with only 2 Conference Finals appearances
A Cup Finals appearance only a dream
I'm not even going to go into the whole Scott Stevens debacle
It means MacInnis, Pronger, Fuhr
Turgeon, Demitra, Young
President's Trophy
It means following that trophy up with a first round exit
Marc Bergevin's heave into his own net
It means Tka-a-a-chuk, Weight, Mellanby
Stillman, Drake, Jackman
The lockout
It means Mike Danton's soap opera
A year without hockey, the dark years from 05-09
It means a return to hope
Backes, Oshie, Perron
Berglund, Johnson, Pieterangelo
Not all of them worked out, but they helped turn the tide
It means an incredible run in 08-09 to the 6 seed
Only to get swept in the first round
The rise and fall of Manny Legace, Chris Mason, Jaro Halak
Only a few of the Parade of Goaltenders since Cujo and Fuhr roamed the crease
It means Tacos, Towel Man, the organ.
"When the Blues go Marching In"
It means "OHHHH BABY!"and Charles Glenn
It means frustration, futility, disappointment
"The Cubs of the NHL"
Most of all it means a community, a family
The Note
To be a Blues fan…
You have to be delusional
To think that that unthinkable just might happen
A dream that one day the most perfect trophy in sports will be ours
We've watched the Wings and Hawks hoist it multiple times
We've heard the taunts, the jokes
They've earned it and yet we can still only dream.
One day 'Never' will be replaced next to our name under 'Last Stanley Cup'
Just like the Flyers, Penguins, Stars, and Kings, fellow 1967ers who broke their Cup droughts before us.
One day the Cup will pass in front of Scottrade, statues of Bernie, Al, and Brett
It will make it's way to Market Street
It will pass by Busch Stadium, the Cardinals taking a backseat to the Blues for once, if only briefly
It will pass in the shadows of The Arch, along the Mississippi
One day the Cup will reside in St. Louis
I'd ask if you could imagine, but To Be a Blues fan…
You've done that hundreds of times before
The difference is that one day it will be a reality
The heartache of years of failure, chokes, headslapping misfortune all erased
Because To Be a Blues fan…
You've got to take the bad with the good
And the great thing is that the best is yet to come.
Someday. Maybe. Hopefully.
Can you imagine?

Tell the U.S. Marine Corps: UFC is Unfit for the Corps!The U.S. Marine Corps has spent more than $2 million sponsoring the UFC. The U.S. Marine Corps should not use our taxpayer money to sponsor the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), a professional cage fighting promoter that has tolerated jokes about rape, homophobic slurs and sexually explicit remarks that are demeaning towards women. For more than two centuries, the Marines have fought, lived and died with honor. According to the Commandant's Statement on Core Values of the United States Marines, honor is "the bedrock of our character; the quality that guides Marines to exemplify the ultimate in ethical and moral behavior; never to lie, cheat, or steal; to abide by an uncompromising code of integrity; to respect human dignity; to have respect and concern for each other." The UFC does not enforce a policy of respect and concern for others. Click here for examples of offensive remarks by UFC fighters. A Marine would never be trained to speak like some associated with UFC have, so why would the Marine Corps sponsor the UFC? We urge the U.S. Marine Corps to withdraw its support of the UFC immediately!
The U.S. Marine Corps has spent more than $2 million promoting the UFC through commercials during televised cage fighting events, online videos and other promotional advertising. Taxpayer money should not be used to support homophobia, misogyny and hate speech, in any form.
We urge the U.S. Marine Corps to renounce its support of the UFC immediately. The UFC is "Unfit for The Corps."

BOSTON -- The Boston Bruins' power-play woes took a dramatic turn.
While Boston still has much to work ahead with the man advantage, a pair of rare power-play goals led the Bruins from a 2-0 deficit to a 3-2 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday.
Tyler Seguin's goal early in the second period was Boston's first at home during a power play this season, then Brad Marchand doubled the small total when he scored the tiebreaking goal with 2:16 left in the third period with Tampa Bay down a man because of a four-minute high-sticking penalty.
More On The Bruins
Looking for more from the ice? Joe McDonald and ESPNBoston.com have you covered. Blog
"It's big. We needed those," Marchand said. "That's what we need our power play to do -- step up at the right times, get us in the game."
Seguin's goal cut Tampa Bay's lead to 2-1, Rich Peverley scored 1:17 later to tie it and Marchand scored the winner when he and Patrice Bergeron got behind the Lightning's penalty killers for a 2-on-1.
Bergeron raced up the right side and timed the pass to his left perfectly. All Marchand had to do was direct it at the net, where goalie Mathieu Garon was caught on the wrong side.
"Bergie gives me a wide-open net to shoot at. I think anyone in this league would've hit that," said Marchand, who leads the Bruins with 11 goals. "I'm fortunate to be on the team I am."
The Bruins are now 9 for 59 on the power play, still one of the lowest percentages in the league. Yet they continue to win, extending their streak to six straight on Saturday as they enjoy their best start since the 1929-30 season.
"It's not always going to be your way, so you have to find ways to show some character," Bergeron said. "I think we've done that again tonight."
The Bruins were called for 10 penalties, six in the first period, and the Lightning had seven in the game, including Brendan Mikkelson's double-minor for a high stick on Milan Lucic with 5:39 left in the third.
The Lightning nearly had the penalty killed, but Steven Stamkos tried for a short-handed goal instead of killing time. The shot took a funny bounce off the boards and set up Bergeron and Marchand for the winning goal.
"We gambled and wasted 58 minutes of hard, intelligent, paying-the-price work," Lightning coach Guy Boucher said.
Stamkos and Alexander Killorn scored for Tampa Bay, both on power plays in the first period. The Lightning failed to score on six other power plays and finished with just 22 shots on goal.
"It's not all the time that you score on the first two power plays," Stamkos said. "Sometimes it's the last two and then everyone says, 'Oh, your power play is great!' Our power play was better tonight. We generated some chances and we got two. Hopefully we build on that.
Anton Khudobin had 20 saves as Boston starter Tuukka Rask got the day off with rival Montreal coming to Boston on Sunday.
Garon finished with 24 saves for the Lightning, who lost their fourth in a row.
The Bruins were called for six penalties in the first period, and Tampa Bay capitalized on two of them.
Stamkos put the Lightning up 1-0 on a wrist shot 5:32 into the game off passes from Teddy Purcell and Marc-Andre Bergeron. Purcell got another assist when Killorn beat Khudobin with a backhander for a 2-0 lead with 11:22 left in the first. Purcell took a pass from Martin St. Louis, crossed the blue line and headed straight up the middle before dropping a pass behind to Killorn, who got Khudobin off balance and tapped it in for his third goal of the season.
Seguin got a rare power-play goal for the Bruins on a one-timer from the left circle 3:22 into the second. It was the first power-play goal at home for the Bruins and just the eighth time they scored in 57 chances overall this season. Dougie Hamilton and David Krejci assisted on the goal.
The Bruins got an obvious emotional boost by finally scoring on Garon, who had just stopped a flurry of good chances. Peverley scored again for the Bruins just more than a minute later to tie it at 2-all on another one-timer from the left circle.
Adam McQuaid surprised the Lightning with a crossing pass from the blue line to the opposite corner, where Peverley fired off the shot before Garon had a much of a chance to get across.
Game notes
The Bruins improved to 6-1-1 at home. ... Stamkos extended his point streak to nine straight games. ... The Bruins and Lightning will meet one more time during the regular season when the Lightning return to Boston on April 25. The game was scheduled for Feb. 9 but postponed because of a blizzard. ... Peverley's goal was his 199th career point. Lighting LW Benoit Pouliot left the game with an upper body injury after taking a hard hit from Dennis Seidenberg with 9:15 left in the first period. Seidenberg was called for boarding on the play.

HI folks, i have just became the owner of this mondeo but there seems to be a problem with the clutch/gearbox, The car will not go into gear when running, It slots into gear no problem when not running, I havent had much experiance with mondeo's so thought it best to ask here first.
June 25, 2012, 8:03 pm
sounds like the clutch has gone you would still have a pedal as its hydraulic
June 25, 2012, 8:21 pm
if the clutch was going wouldn't it be in all gear's and more the lower gear's..
this sounds more like a gear selector issue and maybe something as simple as the gearstick not moving far back enough it select sixth....
June 26, 2012, 8:49 pm
Sounds like clutch release bearing mechanism has gone if it goes into gears whilst engine stood, but will not go into gears with clutch down and engine running.
Have you tried this - Engine off put into 2nd gear, then turn engine over, car should jump along untill engine starts and car will drive as normal, you should then be able to change gear normally by pulling lever into higher gears with NO accelerator used and change down gears by "blipping throttle" between gears as you have gear lever between gears.
When having to stop at junction etc just pull gear lever into neutral and stop car, turn engine off, engage 2nd gear and restart engine and get car moving again etc.
This is obviousley a temp measure, takes a bit of getting used to but I have succesfully used it to get me home when my hydraulics went on my clutch nearly 70miles from home. It will not hurt anything so long as engine revs are used correctly whilst changing down.
I often change gears without clutch just for the hell of it.
If the car drives as normal it is the clutch engagement mechanism that has gone.
July 4, 2012, 10:25 pm
HI folks and thanks for the replies, I tried the starting in 2nd gear and managed to drive along so i took it for a wee spin, drove along fine and lo and behold after a little distance maybe half a mile the gears were ok to select, i thought thats great, drove home parked up, went to move the car a few days later same thing so i did the same and again when it was warm the gears can be selected normally, is this a Oil thing maybe or i have also read something about a gear box mounting problem but not sure about that one.
July 5, 2012, 2:54 am
It could be the gear oil is low or just old.
It might be worth changing it, will cost around £20 for the oil.

ASU BASEBALL: Rams fall to St. Edward's
ASU unable to register key hits at the end
KINGSVILLE — Failing to come through with the clutch at-bat in both the seventh and eighth inning not only cost the Angelo State baseball team the game against St. Edward's Thursday, but it also put the Rams on the brink of elimination in the South Central regional.
ASU will have to fight for its season today after a 5-4 loss to the Hilltoppers to open its fourth trip to the NCAA tournament.
After the Rams capitalized on errors from St. Edward's starter Brannon Easterling to plate four in the top of the sixth, it took just three pitches for the Hilltoppers to catch up.
Designated hitter Marshall Burford smacked a leadoff home run — his 10th of the season — to left field to knot the game at 4-4.
"I felt pretty good," ASU starter Jake Feckley said. "I was able to use the breaking ball pretty effectively to keep them off balance. The hitters did a good enough job putting runs on the board; I just didn't do a good enough job keeping them off the scoreboard. That was the game.
"I've got to do a better job. When they go out there and throw up a four-spot, I have to go up and put up a zero."
St. Edward's would scratch another run across in the seventh on an RBI up the middle by catcher C.J. Manning and it would hold up as the game-winner.
"We didn't execute offensively in some situational hitting," ASU head coach Kevin Brooks said. "To be honest with you, it has been a bugaboo of ours all year. We've gotten better at it in the last month, and unfortunately it reared its ugly head there. It ended up being the difference in the game. There aren't any bad teams here.
"Little things like that can be the difference and we just have to find a way to do the job next time."
With one out in the seventh, the Rams pushed a pair of runners into scoring position, when Tyler Coughenour was hit by a pitch and Ryan Greer smacked a seeing-eye double into left.
The gulf breeze helped the shot find a hole in the outfield, but held up Coughenour just enough to keep him from scoring.
Easterling, who picked up the win and improved to 12-3, struck out Quaid McKinnon and induced a groundout from Lee Neumann to escape the threat.
"Our situational hitting has been a problem all year," ASU shortstop Christian Summers said. "Whenever we execute that, we pretty much win every time."
Summers finished the game 2 for 4 with two RBIs and a two doubles, but ended the fourth inning when he was thrown out trying to steal home.
The Rams, true to form, were aggressive, and it cost them as they were picked off at first base twice by Easterling and were tagged out at home twice.
"We were 8-for-8 stealing home this year," Brooks said. "That was the first time we've been thrown out. It was two outs and we weren't hitting the ball well. We didn't execute that right, and that was the biggest thing. To us that isn't a gamble. We don't have a lot of .500 hitters, and we are going to be safe half the time."
Again in the eighth, back-to-back singles gave ASU runners on first and third with one out, but Andrew LaCombe was caught in a rundown between third and home on David Goggin's bunt.
The rundown gave the Rams two runners in scoring position, but Hunter Choate flew out harmlessly to right field.
"Kevin Brooks and I were talking about how every time we meet in this regional it is a close game," St. Edward's coach Rob Penders said. "You had two good teams fighting for the momentum. We were able to get it with the big home run to get it back on our side, and then we were able to scrap out the one hit. The effort from both sides was remarkable."
The Hilltoppers struck first in the second inning using two doubles and hit batter to set up a three-run frame.
Burford, who finished 2-for-3 with a home run, started the rally with a double to left field with one down.
Even though ASU put its leadoff hitter on first three times in the first six innings, twice Easterling picked off runners from first and worked efficiently for most of the first five frames.
"It is hot out today so I felt good," Easterling said. "Guys made plays behind me and the offense came through. It is always good working with a lead and they've picked me up. Burf came up with the big hit to tie it up and then it was a 0-0 ballgame."
The Rams got their big inning in the sixth, started by Easterling errors on the first two batters of the inning.
McKinnon followed with an RBI knock into right and Summers sent a shot over the head of St. Edward's center fielder Ryan Dolezal that plated two.
Summers might have had a chance to score on the play after advancing to third on a throw to home, but he couldn't gather himself at third when the ball skied past Dylan Watts.
LaCombe reached on a fielder's choice that scored Summers and momentarily gave the Rams the lead.
The Hilltoppers battled back to take the tightly contested win and now ASU is in a position Brooks said it has been in all year — including two weeks ago at the Lone Star Conference Tournament — having to battle back after dropping an opener.
"It is the situation we've been in all year — we lose Friday night and come back to win three in a row or split," Brooks said. "Obviously we can't lose the first two in this one or we're done. Our guys have a lot of character, heart and a lot of fight in them. I'll take that."
At the LSC Tournament in Canyon the Rams battled all the way back to take the tournament to the 'if necessary' game before bowing out to Texas A&M-Kingsville.
Only once in program history has ASU won the opener of the South Central regional — 2007 when the Rams made their only trip to the Division II College World Series.
Brooks knows that in a six-team format the Rams would actually be in a good predicament if they can find a way to extend their season with a win Friday.
ASU will play Texas A&M-Kingsville at 3 p.m. Friday in a must-win game for the Rams at Nolan Ryan Field.
"The crazy six-team bracket If we go out and win tomorrow, we will probably be the team — except for the team that is undefeated — that is in the best shape," Brooks said. "We understand that and come out tomorrow and do everything we can to win."

San Diego County's rapidly diminishing native vegetation includes an extraordinary number of rare or uncommon plant species. Geologic variability and unusual edaphic factors account for much of this diversity which is bolstered by relictual Sierran elements found in the mountains, typical Baja species with ranges extending north of the border, and a wide array of plants in the Anza-Borrego Desert. This present work attempts to compile as much available site information as possible for several hundred species which are generally considered sensitive by local, state, and federal agencies.
A wide variety of resources were utilized and information has been compiled in a cumulative fashion over several decades. During this period the following biologists have graciously provided significant information concerning their own field experiences: Ellen Bauder, Mitch Beauchamp, Ellen Berryman, Roxanne Bittman, Stephen Boyd, David Bramlet, John Brown, Tim Cass, Duffie Clemons, Vince Coleman, Mike Curto, Jim Dice, Richard Felger, Judy Gibson, Patricia Gordon-Reedy, Dylan Hannon, Bonnie Hendricks, Larry Hendrickson, Kyle Ince, Eric Jonsson, Robin Knehr, Dawn Lawson, Geoff Levin, Eric Lichtwardt, Maggie Loy, Karlin Marsh, David Mayer, Reid Moran, Tom Oberbauer, Alaina Reiser, Fred Roberts, Andrew Sanders, Mark Skinner, Fred Sproul, Colin Steele, Janet Stuckrath, Larry Sward, Gilbert Voss, Peter Warren, Carl Wishner, Julie Vanderwier, Howie Wier, and Rick York.
These invaluable recollections have been supplemented by the author's extensive botanical field work in Southern California (1975-1994). The latter includes site visits and follow-up biological survey reports (primarily from 1987-1994 as a biological consultant) for approximately 400 separate locales covering well over 300,000 acres in this region. These reports were typically prepared for California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) documentation. Field work, performed at various seasons, generally required a floristic census of the site as part of the standard report methodology. Rare plant searches were a focus of such field censuses. Included here was a comprehensive botanical survey over a three year period of 125,000 acre Camp Joseph Pendleton in northwestern San Diego County; as well as extensive field work conducted on the 23,000 acre Otay Ranch near the Mexican border. A vegetation community mapping project for approximately 1.3 million acres of western Riverside County also included substantial field work and yielded information about range extensions into that region. Most large tracts of land in coastal portions of San Diego County were sampled during various surveys. Unfortunately, this strongly correlates with proposed development and underscores the trend towards massive losses of native habitat and consequent losses of sensitive plant populations. Also compiled over the last two decades was a photographic flora covering most of the 1500 native plant species and almost all of the CNPS designated sensitive plant species for the County which are discussed within this work.
Also utilized were numerous historical site reports compiled by various other biologists, the California Natural Diversity Data Base, and the herbarium at the San Diego Natural History Museum. The last mentioned was regularly scoured for significant details regarding rare plant information. An attempt was made to weed out spurious reports and misidentified herbarium specimens which might skew an objective assessment of a species' current status. Some plants have ranges strongly correlating with areas now urbanized, and an effort was made to comment upon clusters of historical sightings which might represent locales where the native vegetation is no longer extant.
Organization of this work has several parameters necessitating discussion. All sites mentioned have been visited by the author, except those specifically prefaced with a term denoting that a rare plant population was not seen. Hence, all "reported" sites have been culled from other sources which are presumed to be accurate, but which were not independently verified. While this general methodology can result in the redundant use of several terms, this was considered the most pragmatic way to clearly separate out rare plant sites discovered or re-examined by the author and presumed extant, and those reports which may have inherent problems (e.g., extirpated sites which have long since ceased to harbor sensitive plants, sites which may represent misidentifications based on outdated taxonomic keys, or reports which may contain erroneous or overgeneralized locality information). "Herbarium" specimens invariably refer to pressed plants kept in the collection at the San Diego Natural History Museum, which were examined at that facility. Unfortunately, time constraints would not allow me to site specific collection numbers; other than to note for purposes of range information, southernmost collections from Baja California.
An additional reason for some redundancy was to consistently maintain comparative assessment terms from one species discussion to the next; particularly under the "Status" section. "Stable" implies that population numbers overall are static or may be slowly diminishing, but for which the overall vigor of the cumulative populations is not immediately threatened. "Presumed stable" is regularly used for species in mountain, desert, or transmontane areas with limited ongoing development, for which little new data is available, but for which such an assessment may be inferred. "Declining" implies that a noticeable and significant reduction in numbers is evident, and for which the perceived reduction is apparently a trend which cannot bode well for the future of this species in San Diego County. "Severely declining" constitutes a red flag which will require proactive remedies to counter. A handful of other (hopefully self-explanatory) adverbs are utilized as variants. "Unknown" indicates there is a dearth of information on the status of this species in San Diego County, and a more subjective assessment would not be productive. As a general rule it should be stated that information for species with predominantly coastal ranges, far exceeds what is available for montane and desert species. Hopefully this work will focus attention on specific plant taxa which warrant substantially more field research.
Plants are arranged alphabetically by scientific name, but include the common name given by the CNPS to these often uncommon species. Natural Diversity Data Base information is current as of the February 1994 CNPS Inventory. It is recognized that state and federal listings will invariably change as more information is gathered. Future plans call for an "electronic" system in which an updated plant status can be accessed or altered within the State database system at any time. This avoids the cumbersome annual or semi-annual updates of the past, but ironically, it implies data may be outdated immediately after it is accessed. Such a system will readily antiquate listing information presented in this work, and readers are urged to stay abreast of such changes via communications with the Sacramento database.
Soils information is cursorily taken from the U.S. Soil Conservation Service's 1973 work covering San Diego County. No attempt was made to comprehensively research all locales, only to choose typical sites and supply some initial soil information. Future versions of the current work should attempt to refine the soils analysis by listing prevalent versus secondary soil types utilized by specific rare plant species. County range maps and possible color plates illustrating many of the rare plants in flower are proposed for such a future version.
An attempt was made to provisionally summarize the status of San Diego County's rare plants in Baja California (within a paragraph separated from the general site information). This information relies primarily on a number of herbarium specimens collected at the San Diego Natural History Museum (fewer total collection numbers typically indicating greater rarity); as well as a latitude for the southernmost locale represented. The incomparable Reid Moran has field collected the majority of these specimens. Forays by the author into northern Baja California are appended to this information. It should be understood that vast areas of Baja California have only been surficially examined by botanists. The goal of this added information is to indicate which San Diego County plant species may also be extremely rare in Mexico, not to designate which "sensitive" species can be disregarded in the U.S. because they are more common elsewhere. Development of northern Baja California is already preceding along the lines of Southern California in earlier parts of this century, with widespread destruction of habitat for agriculture and orchards, and substantial beach bluff residential development. Given similar development pressures, species greatly reduced in historical numbers in the U.S. may decline for similar reasons in Baja California. In some cases, particularly in regard to beach dune habitat, this is already happening.
Despite some obvious shortcomings, it is hoped this work will provide some needed refinement to assessing specific sensitive plant resources in the region. I would like to urge readers to submit to me any atypical rare plant sightings not listed within this work, or sightings of obscure and rarely collected County species not listed within this document, for possible inclusion within a future updated version of this report.... Adios.

Leah's March Favorites
It's finally spring, and that means it's time to come out of our dark, cold little bear caves and embrace the sunshine.
As much as I love this time of the year, I've been a plant victim. Specifically, I've been victimized by pollen. If it wasn't for my friend Benadryl, I probably would have already sneezed myself to the grave. Those plants want me dead.
Despite my (not-so-little) pollen problem, there are a bunch of things I've been loving this month, and I thought I'd share them here. As usual, zero percent of these products are sponsored. Nada!
1. Face and Skincare
Here's a secret for you: I don't wash my hair every day. And neither should you, because that's way too harsh on your hair and scalp. It dries out your scalp, your hair creates more oils to compensate, and it's becomes a crazy, oily, disaster. It's like an oil spill on your head. Nobody wants that!
In the desert days between washing, dry shampoo is your best friend. For those of you are familiar with dry shampoo, Batiste is a pretty popular brand with good reason. It's been my favorite for years. However, I've been reaching for Dove's Refresh + Care Dry Shampoo more often. It doesn't completely mattify your hair like Batiste, but it's clear instead of white, and also doesn't have to be worked in. It smells good and adds a ton of volume and texture to second day hair.
Olay's Ultra Moisture Body Wash is great for shaving. I have sensitive legs that are prone to getting red bumps and ashy patches after shaving, and this product has dramatically cut that down. The scent is amazing as well.
2. Nail Polish
St. Patrick's Day calls for green nail polish. Even though the holiday as passed, if you're still looking for the minty nail polish at the end of the rainbow, look no further. China Glaze's Re-fresh Mint is your answer. (How cute is that name?)
3. Fashion Favorites
My favorite shirt in March has been this gray peplum one from TJ Maxx, which I snagged for the high, high price of $8. My amazing detective skills were able to see past the marker on the tag to determine this shirt originated from American Eagle.
Why do I love it? It has the feel of a soft t-shirt, but the peplum and keyhole details make it ultra-stylish. It's neutral, comfy, and easy to wear with anything.
I just featured this in my last article, but that was written before I had a chance to fully try it out. This nautical backpack has become my necessary sidekick for class. The straps don't slide off my shoulders. Madden Girl has not let me down.
I know what you're thinking: "Whoa, I was not expecting to see a suit! "
Well, friend, I was not expecting to need a suit either until this past month, when there was a plethora of career fairs and formal events popping up all over campus. Long story short, you're going to need a black suit in college. Or when you become a secret agent. Whichever one comes first.
H&M offered this suit at an affordable price, and it's designed perfectly for petite women with shorter legs and smaller shoulders. I also love the gold zipper details on the waist. I plan on doing an article on styling a black suit, so consider this a sneak peek.
4. Favorite Book
If you're someone who doesn't read much, Every Day by David Levithan is your book. It's about someone who wakes up in a different body – you guessed it – every day. It's innovative, fascinating, and makes you think.
5. I am looking forward to…
Seeing the Maze Runner movie! The entire series was excellent and the trailer looks so good.
I also can't wait to see Divergent, which came out last week. I am such a fan of Veronica Roth and the series. Before either movie was out, I read Divergent around the same time as The Hunger Games, and I remember sort of favoring Divergent. But it's too hard to pick between them. I love all my sci-fi dystopian children.
Tell me what you think:
What are your monthly favorites? What books have you been reading? Any new products you adore? Let me know in the comments below what you've been loving this month and what you're look forwards to in April.

Beautiful Villa Gabriella...perfectly cozy
We loved our stay at Villa Gabriella. It is beautifully done, perfectly clean, comfortable and homey. The views are stupendous. We loved having breakfast and dinner on the balcony. We would recommend it as a charming place to stay on Lake Como.
We found the parking to be a challenge until we finally stopped trying to park on the road near the villa, and just parked in the car park down the hill a bit. We loved the stone walk ways leading up to the old church and down to the Lake. They are beautiful, yet steep.
We did grow weary of managing the narrow, winding and busy roads between the villa and Bellagio. But, that is part of the charm of being at Lake Como.

Posted May 30, 2013. Photo by Amy Landers/ABQ BioPark.
Like their shark cousins, stingrays have a special sixth sense. Organs near their mouths, called the ampullae of Lorenzini, detect electrical signals, helping them hunt and orient themselves in the big blue.
Stingrays are notorious for the sharp barb at the base of their whip-like tails. Despite their venomous barbs, rays tend to be docile fish that only strike in self-defense. However, it is wise to watch where you step when swimming in the ocean, because stingrays are often camouflaged in the sandy bottom.
The ABQ BioPark Aquarium houses southern stingrays (Dasyatis americana), Atlantic stingrays (Dasyatis sabina) and cownose rays (Rhinoptera bonasus), all common to the Gulf of Mexico. Several stingray species are considered threatened or vulnerable due to oil spills, pollution and overfishing. Join us for World Oceans Day on June 6 to learn more about our personal connection to the sea and how our actions matter.
Have you ever been swimming with a ray? Join the conversation on Facebook.
