WED2013: Hales calls on state to divest fossil fuel holdings
With the United Nations Environment Programme and the World Resources Institute in town to mark World Environment Day, Portland Mayor Charlie Hales issued several calls for sustainability-related actions.
Primarily, Hales wants the state to divest itself of all fossil fuel holdings. And, he wants the city to begin implementing a 2012 resolution instructing the city to get 100 percent of its energy from renewable sources.
The divestiture call came after 350 PDX, the local chapter of the 350.org group that espouses sustainable and responsible investments, asked Hales and other leader to consider such a move. The group counts more than a dozen cities on its list of municipalities considering divesting fossil fuel holdings.
Here's the text of Hales' speech, delivered this morning, to launch the day's events.
Ladies and gentlemen. Portlanders and visitors. Welcome to the 2013 North American World Environment Day.
I want to welcome representatives of the United Nations Environment Programme.
When we welcome people to Portland, it's good to remind them, and ourselves, that Portland is not here – in this exact spot – by accident. This spot drew civilization to it. This spot is the confluence of two great river systems: The mighty Columbia, which has a drainage basin roughly the size of France. And the Willamette River, one of the few northward-flowing rivers in the Northern Hemisphere, and home to some of the most amazingly fertile farmlands in all the world.
This spot is a confluence of rivers. And a confluence of civilizations. Indigenous peoples flowed into this region as early as 10,000 years ago. Not quite 200 years ago, Europeans began arriving here. Economically, Portland – and Oregon, and the Northwest – draw nearly as much influence from the Pacific Rim, and from Asia, as they do from Europe.
This is a confluence of time, as well. Portland is the event horizon between an agrarian history and the industrial revolution. Between shopkeepers and data-miners. Where we build big things, like barges and streetcars, and the smallest of things, like nano-technologies. This is where the silicon forest abuts old-growth forests.
A confluence of rivers. A confluence of time. And a confluence of purpose. One of the great lessons Portland has learned and shared has been the ideal that doing the right thing actually makes our lives a bit better. Here we do the right thing not simply because it's right, but because it improves our quality of life.
Increasing our tree canopy allows us to breathe better. Composting lowers our garbage bill. Stormwater management on our streets makes our roads safer. It's THIS notion that propels us into a boundless future aimed at raising our collective quality of life…and oh yeah, helping to protect our planet.
Portland is the place where, the lessons we learned as stewards of our environment in the 20th century, will guide our hands as stewards of the environment in the 21st century.
This city, and our most-unusual form of government, can and must help lead by example. As Mayor of Portland, I pledge that we will act locally and share globally, working with our City Council and our City Bureaus to take concrete steps that produce real and lasting results for our citizens and evidence-based research for our friends throughout the World.
National and international policy is catching up with science. And as it does, it becomes more practical and more cost-effective to begin to diversify our power and begin the journey away from reliance on fossil fuels. I want Portland not just to be ready, but to be at the forefront.
There are several steps we can take.
First, while I'm proud that our City holds no direct fossil fuel assets in our financial investment portfolio, it's not enough.
The City must urge the Oregon State Treasurer, the Local Government Investment Pool and the Oregon Investment Council to divest of all state holdings in fossil fuel.
Why take this seemingly risky investment strategy? Because NOT doing it is the truly risky move.
The vast majority of fossil fuel assets are owned by 200 publicly traded companies. Eventually, these companies will burn through their entire reserves. We don't know when that will happen, but by definition, we know that it must.
When that day comes, shares in these companies will lose most of their value. By divesting from the 200 largest fossil fuel companies, Portland can eliminate the risk to its own financial future. We must act before the carbon bubble bursts. And we must send the signal to the market that such investments are risky.
By acting locally, we can send a message to the world that investment in fossil fuels is a losing proposition, and that loosening our dependence on fossil fuels will increase our quality of life.
Second, I pledge that the City will begin implementation of the resolution passed last year instructing the City to buy 100 percent renewables. Likewise, we will work with our utility partners to reduce reliance on coal and natural gas to generate the electricity that serves all Portland residents and businesses. We can and will lead by example.
Third, the City must move forward aggressively on the city's 2009 Climate Action Plan. The plan sets a goal of reducing emissions from City operations to 50 percent of 1990 levels, and doing so by the year 2030. This month, I issued a set of instructions and challenges to our City Council, and to our City Bureaus. One challenge calls for each bureau to further reduce its energy use by two percent each year. By pairing energy efficiency with renewable power, we will achieve our 50 percent carbon reduction goal for City operations. Again, we can and we will lead by example.
Each of these three will reduce our carbon footprint and increase our quality of life. But it's still not enough. We here in Portland pride ourselves on our innovative transportation policies. Our emphasis on active transportation has been studied the world over- but that's not why we've invested in it- active transportation is part of our high quality of life. And oh yeah, it's a predominant piece of our carbon reduction strategy. I pledge that within 10 years, the bike will be the preferred mode of transportation for all trips under three miles in Portland. Talk about a marriage of doing the right thing and a high quality of life!
In order for that to become reality, we must take care of our infrastructure. By now most Portlanders have heard that I'm dedicated to repairing our streets- that whether you ride four wheels, two wheels or even one wheel, you need flat, smooth surfaces to roll on. As we've shown that our water and sewer-based infrastructure can be done more cost effectively when it's done more environmentally, there is no reason that the caretaking of our transportation infrastructure can't also be the caretaking of our planet. I pledge to you that I and the Council will identify new revenue that will allow us to turn every street in Portland into a Complete Street- a street with pervious surfaces, with stormwater collection, with street trees, and with sidewalks- within the next 20 years.
Each of these steps- divestment from fossil fuels and reliance on renewable energy, reducing City government's carbon footprint, reaching new active transportation highs and building our infrastructure in smart ways, will increase the quality of life of our citizenry. And it will make Portland more resilient.
Think about that word for a moment. It's from the Latin. It means to Spring Back. To Spring Back into Shape.
Portland, and Oregon, and the Northwest, and the world, have been struggling for too long to Spring Back Into Shape, following the Great Recession and long, slow, jobless recovery. But we have learned some great lessons as our economy springs back. Now we must take those lessons and apply them to this confluence of time.
I am proud to announce that, in August of this year, Portland will apply to the Rockefeller Foundation 100 Resilient Cities Centennial Challenge.
The Challenge is a competition designed to help prepare cities for catastrophic events, like Super Storm Sandy, or the devastating tornado we recently witnessed in Oklahoma. Or "The Big One" – the mega-quake that scientists warn us have assailed this sector of the globe throughout eons. And will again.
With more than 75 percent of people expected to be living in cities by 2050, and with 730,000 people expected to be living in Portland by 2030, it's no longer a "what if" question but a question of "when."
I will direct Portland City bureaus to combine efforts and apply to the Rockefeller Foundation to compete for membership in the worldwide 100 Resilient Cities Network, which comes with it support for hiring a Chief Resiliency Office and resources to create and implement a resilience plan.
By applying for the Rockefeller Challenge, Portland will not only benefit, we'll be able to share our experience and expertise with our friends throughout the world while learning other best practices and innovations.
Sharing globally and implementing locally. By embracing this philosophy, through global communication and citywide action, we will all be better equipped to emerge even stronger through the face of catastrophe.
This is not really anything new for Portland. Whether it's through our pioneering work in green infrastructure, or in climate preparedness, Portland has long been an incubator for environmental policy. Not only can that not stop, but we must redouble our efforts to lead this work into the future, sharing our grand experiments with the world.
Take the confluence of these two great rivers, the Willamette and the Columbia.
In 2004, the Portland Park System became the first Salmon-Safe certified system in the nation. Let me repeat that: The first such system in the nation, signifying our success and dedication in reducing impacts on water quality and fish habitat from park operation and maintenance.
Last year, our Parks Bureau won recertification from the Salmon-Safe program. We are proud of that. But it's not enough.
As another challenge to our City Council and City Bureaus, I have asked that EACH service-delivery bureau in the city seek and achieve Salmon-Safe certification within the next two years.
I ask each service-delivery bureau to work with the Salmon-Safe team to evaluate their impact on habitat and water quality. Through determination and collaboration, our City can ensure that every practice we take is done with the least amount of harm to our natural environment, and by doing so, an uptick in the quality of our lives. And as we implement this locally, we will gladly share the results globally, through our friends in the United Nations Environment Programme.
Portland is a proud member of the Intertwine Alliance. That is a coalition of 80 organizations sharing a common interest in improving health, creating jobs, reducing costs, expanding transportation networks, fostering learning and keeping our air and water clean.
The Intertwine has issued a challenge to residents and regional leaders alike. As Mayor, I accept the Intertwine Challenge.
Portland will work to increase the percentage of storm water managed through green infrastructure.
Portland will work to find a permanent funding source to protect our natural area investments.
And Portland will continue to invest in our plan to increase our tree canopy.
Our City will lead by example and I, in turn, challenge our residents, our regional partners, and the rest of the world to live and act with these goals in mind. And to work even harder with your citizens to demonstrate that doing the right thing isn't asking them to take cod liver oil- it's asking them to do things they want to do- things that make their daily lives just a bit better.
More than anything, though, on this World Environment Day, in THIS confluence of time, I want to talk about the thread that knits together the fabric that is Portland. It's not unique to us. It binds most towns, cities, states and countries together.
Our rivers.
I stand before you this morning with two responsibilities to our rivers. One is to clean them up. But again, I'm not unique in that. Mayors before me, and governors, and the state and federal governments, have put their shoulders to the wheel, and have worked for clean rivers.
Hard work has come before, and more hard work is needed now. We are just at the starting point of cleaning up our crown jewel. I'm honored to begin that clean up immediately and vociferously.
But as mayor, my second responsibility is helping to guide the vision of what our rivers WILL BE.
It's not enough to stand before you proclaiming that we will have clean rivers. We will, and soon.
What is critical is what we do with those rivers.
What we do to keep them clean.
What we do to bring our fish back.
What we do to connect our people back to them.
What we do to safely and responsibly create access to them.
And most importantly, what we do to embody the spirit and wisdom of our First People, to steward these rivers for our future generations.
We can't wait for years of planning and vision. We must incorporate the plans and visions that came before us.
These questions can't wait for the rivers to be clean.
These are the questions that I will work with our City Council, our citizens, our partners, and our friends around the world to answer … and to implement.
We WILL restore the prominence of our rivers into the fabric of our everyday lives and we will do so responsibly.
We have to. We stand at the confluence of two great rivers, the confluence many great societies and economies, and the confluence of time.
The Roman Emperor, Marcus Aurelius said time is a sort of river of passing events, and strong is its current. No sooner is a thing brought to sight, he said, than it is swept by and another takes its place, and this too will be swept away.
These are OUR rivers. This is OUR time.
Thank you to the United Nations Environment Programme.
Thank you to our many visitors.
And welcome to the 2013 North American World Environment Day.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Annapolis police are asking for information in a two-year-old homicide.
Police have not made an arrest in the slaying on June 23, 2012, of 29-year-old Orlando McDaniel. Authorities say he was found shot multiple times in the 1100 block of Madison Street. He was taken to Anne Arundel Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
Annapolis Police Detective Jon-Paul Hipsky tells The Capital of Annapolis (http://bit.ly/1sAqgSf) says numerous people have been interviewed, but there has not been a real break in the case.
He says police believe even if people didn't witness the shooting, they may have information about it.
Anyone with any information about the case can call Hipsky at 410-268-9000.

Performance: Live
All Seated Event: No
First London headline show for rising Congolese/Belgian star Baloji following his recent appearance at the Barbican opening for the mighty African super-group Orchestra Baobab.
The singer combines rap and hip-hop with Congolese rhumba to create a unique contemporary sound, here performing tracks from the critically acclaimed Crammed Records release Kinshasa Succursale, which featured an all-star line-up of guest musicians including Amp Fiddler, Konono No1, Royce Mbumba and La Chorale de la Grace, to name but a few.
Baloji, whose name means "sorcerer" in Swahili, was born in the Democratic Republic of Congo in 1978. At the age of 4, he arrived in Belgium with his father and grew up in Liège. As a young adolescent, he discovered hip-hop, a passion for tagging, rap & dance.
At 15 he joined the collective Starflam, a Belgian hip-hop crew, who released a platinum selling disc "Survivant" (2001). Baloji quit the group in 2004 and turned his back on music.
It was a letter from his mother, whom he had not seen since 1981, and winning a poetry competition in Paris, that pushed him back to pursue the muse of music.
His first solo recording, "Hotel Impala" (2008), as much of a response to the letter from his mother as it was a quest to find his identity, was coloured with influences of soul, afrobeat, and hip-hop.
A certified Gold Record, the album won two Octaves de la music (a Belgian equivalant to the Grammys) as well as the Rapsat-Lelièvre Prize and the Brassens prize for lyric writing.
His new record Kinshasa Succursale has recently be released to critical acclaim.
'A nuanced blend of verbal passion, traditional Congolese sounds, funk and reggae – Baloji could be the artist to give African rap a truly global profile.' The Telegraph

Brrrrr! It's freezing out there!
We got through November and December of 2011 without a lot of scary Winter weather. Christmas was a cool-but-manageable 57º Fahrenheit here in town and everyone had a lovely holiday.

Yesterday, it blew down a blizzard for a few fleeting moments – not enough to stop traffic, but enough to get the attention of everyone here at DMI world headquarters.

In non-signing news, the Blue Jays dealt newly acquired shortstop Mike Aviles to the Indians for Esmil Rogers, Mariano Rivera stated his desire to come back for the 2013 season (potentially killing a Rafael Soriano return to the Yankees), and the Astros officially unveiled their new logo and uniforms.

Curriculum Vitae
Amherst College --> Space Science Institute --> McGill University
I study the climate of exoplanets. Specifically, I construct maps of these distant worlds by monitoring how their brightness and color change with time (for a slightly more detailed description, read this review). In addition to empirical work on hot Jupiter atmospheres using the Spitzer Space Telescope, i'm leading an international team to figure out how next-generation space missions could map the surfaces of terrestrial exoplanets. I'm an instigator of the ExoClimes meetings, which (unsurprisingly!) cover most of the scientific areas that interest me. As a member of NASA's ExoPAG executive committee, I promote research in exoplanet climate and help map out the landscape of future exoplanet missions. When not working, I can usually be found playing with my son and enjoying the outdoors.

Green Man Festival - Preview Part 1
So what makes Green Man festivals so special? 1) Independence
Green Man festival is one of few that can boast true independence. This freedom is a refreshing change from the clinical corporate nature of many bigger festivals that can often ruin their authenticity, (even the âindependentâ latitude is run by giants Festival Republic.) Green Man has become famous for its boutique reputation by bands and fans alike and greatly contributes to the relaxed, enchanting atmosphere of the festival. 2) Location
Letâs face it, Wales hasnât got all that much to offer; so It is just as well then that Green Man makes full use of the stunning views and landscape of rural Wales. In true fairy tale style, the festival is nestled amongst the Sugar Loaf Mountains in the 20,000 acre Brecon Beacons â one of only 3 National Park in Wales. Glastonbury might have a stone circle, but Green Man has a 598 metre high mountain to offer. (Note of warning, remote mountain beauty rarely comes without rain) 3) Bands
A festival would afterall be pretty terrible without bands (Creamfields take note). However luckily, Green Man is blessed with one of the top line-ups of 2009; its dedicated devotion to showcasing the best in Folk, American Indie and Psychedelia has enabled Green Man to establish itself a Festival niche. As well as an impressive line-up of prominent established headline bands -Animal Collective, Wilco and Jarvis Cocker Green man is also blessed by a wide array of underground artists such as Beach House, Wooden Shjips and Camera Obscura, there is enough to make even Reading festival organisers Green with envy. 4) Additional Information
Where would the modern festival be without a host of extra cultural activities and entertainment? Well, somewhere near V festival (never a good thing). It is just as well then that Green Man encompasses plenty of literature, poetry, comedy and secret gigs. The festival emanates a relaxed and comfortable environment that caters for all â a children area for families, 24 hour drinking license for the hardcore and regularly cleaned toilets for the fussy. While other festivals this year may have gathered substantial press attention and corporate backing, Green Man 2009 modestly looks to beautifully showcase the best of the underground indie scene in the foot of the Welsh mountains.

WILLIE NELSON and FAMILY
LET'S FACE the MUSIC
Album info:
Willie Nelson And Family Let's Face The Music And Dance on 180g LP
Willie's 80th Birthday Celebrated with New Studio Album!
Legacy Recordings presents Let's Face The Music And Dance, a collection of new studio performances by Willie Nelson and Family. The album is the first in a series of releases and events celebrating the artist's 80th birthday year. A collection of deep pop country repertoire classics performed with transformative patented ease by Willie Nelson and Family, his long-time touring and recording ensemble, Let's Face The Music And Dance was recorded at Pedernales Recording Studio in Austin, Texas, produced by Buddy Cannon and mixed by Butch Carr at Budro Music Repair Shop in Nashville, Tennessee.
Willie's also celebrating more than forty years on the road and in the studio with Family, the band he formed with his sister, Bobbie Nelson (on piano), drummer Paul English and harmonica shaman Mickey Raphael – their name taken from his 1971 studio album Willie Nelson & Family. Rounding out the Family line-up on Let's Face The Music And Dance are Billy English (Paul's brother) on electric gut string and snare drum, Kevin Smith on upright bass and Jim "Moose" Brown on B-3 organ with Willie's son, Micah Nelson, adding percussion on select tracks. Willie and his guitar, Trigger, appear on all the songs.
2013 is shaping up as a banner year for the pop country patriarch, who turns 80 on April 30. His rollicking memoir, Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die – Musings from the Road, published by HarperCollins in May 2012, is currently a New York Times bestselling non-fiction title and Let's Face The Music And Dance is an essential addition to the outlaw country artist's catalog of timeless recordings.
Compiling the repertoire for Let's Face The Music And Dance, Willie chose a range of pop, rock, jazz and country classics drawn from the 1930s ("Let's Face the Music and Dance," "Walking My Baby Back Home"), 1940s ("You'll Never Know," "I Wish I Didn't Love You So," "Shame On You") and 1950s ("Matchbox") covering evergreen songwriters Irving Berlin, Mack Gordon, Carl Perkins, Frank Loesser, Django Reinhardt and Spade Cooley, among others. Willie turns in a beautiful new version of his composition "Is The Better Part Over," a song he introduced on 1989′s A Horse Called Music.
Let's Face The Music And Dance is Willie's second release for Legacy Recordings. The first, Heroes was released in May of 2012 and debuted at #18 on the Billboard 200 best-selling albums chart (Willie's highest number on the chart since Always On My Mind hit #2 in 1982) and wound up spending five consecutive weeks at #1 on the Americana Radio Chart.

Wisconsin's unemployment rate ticked down a tenth of a point in July as the state showed modest improvement amid an increasingly gloomy national jobs scene.
But even the drop in Wisconsin's rate - from 7.9% in June to a seasonally adjusted 7.8% last month - was tempered by the hard realities of a still-struggling economy: The improvement appeared to be partly driven by discouraged job-hunters dropping out of the labor force and no longer being counted among the officially unemployed.
"Hardly reason for celebration," University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee economics professor John Heywood said of the July numbers.
"If this is a recovery, it's very anemic," said David Ward, president of Madison-based NorthStar Economics Inc.
Newly released national figures, meanwhile, fed fears that whatever recovery there is may melt into another recession. The U.S. Labor Department reported that the initial claims for unemployment rose again last week, helping spark a sell-off on Wall Street, where the Dow Jones average fell 144 points, or 1.4%.
Initial unemployment filings tend to bounce aggressively from week to week, but the most recent showing continued a basically upward march that has pushed claims from 427,000 in early July to 500,000 last week.
It was the first time since November that initial claims had hit 500,000. In a healthy economy, new jobless claims usually come in below 400,000 a week.
The good news in Wisconsin is that private firms added 6,500 jobs in July, a turnaround from the trend of the previous four months.
Roughly half the net gain came in two sectors that overall offer relatively high average wages, durable goods manufacturing and health care and social assistance.
On the other hand, nearly half the gain was in the low-paying accommodation and food services wing of the economy.
The 7.8% unemployment rate translates into 237,600 Wisconsinites out of work. That's down 3,200 from June.
But the number of people in the labor force, where they can be officially counted as employed or unemployed, shrank by 10,500.
"Some discouraged workers, some going back to school and some retirements," said Russell Kashian, an economics professor at UW-Whitewater.
The state figures are seasonally adjusted, taking into account the predictable fluctuations in employment over the course of a year, such as the hiring of tourism workers during the summer or retail workers before Christmas.
Heywood said Wisconsin's July numbers "fail to provide evidence of a serious rebound."
"The overall pattern remains one of a shrinking Wisconsin labor market," he said. "The number in the labor force, the number employed and the number unemployed are all declining. The slightly lower unemployment rate only tells us the number unemployed is declining a bit faster than the number employed."
But Marquette University economics professor Abdur Chowdhury said that, while the July results are mixed, the good outweighs the bad.
Wisconsin is faring better than the country as a whole, where not only have new unemployment claims been rising but the jobless rate has stalled at 9.5% for two months, he said.
"The Wisconsin economy, on the other hand, is creating private-sector jobs and also experiencing a decline in the unemployment rate," Chowdhury said. "The Wisconsin labor market is also performing better than the neighboring states."
The State Department of Workforce Development noted the latter point in announcing the July jobs numbers. Through June, the department said, Wisconsin's unemployment has been lower than that of nearby manufacturing-heavy states such as Illinois (10.4%), Indiana (10.1%), Michigan (13.2%) and Ohio (10.5%).
Minnesota and Iowa were about a point below Wisconsin. The Great Plains, meanwhile, boasts some of the nation's lowest unemployment, with North Dakota leading the way at 3.6% in June.

Stay away from IPO Retail investors. The markets are playground for Institutional sharks and retail investors stand to gain little unless there is a sustained bull run. This being the case for established stocks, the unknown IPOs become even riskier bets. Gone are the good old days when IPOs were priced at face value or conservatively thus providing handsome returns. Nowadays every IPO is overpriced be it Govt PSUs or Top honchos like Ambanis or the B/C grade company - everyone are out to make a quick buck in the IPO market. There used to be very lively discussions on IPOs in the good old days but most of those users have quit posting comments due to this very reason. You might still make money in 1 or 2% of the stocks, but that still makes the IPO market a riskier investment than Casinos and Gambling!!! Remember its your hard earned money going down the drain only to benefit a greedy promoter. SEBI can only mimic Poodle singh and watch the show rather than take affirmative action.

Property management services are the key factor in tenant satisfaction, according to a survey released at the Every Building Show Conference & Expo, presented by BUILDINGS magazine and BOMA International.
The 2013 Global Tenant Survey, a survey of office building tenants in the U.S., Canada, New Zealand, and South Africa, found that the services most closely correlated with high tenant satisfaction are property management communication, property management overall, maintenance and engineering, and property quality.
The survey found that health/hygiene features (flu shots, hand sanitizers, bike racks, etc.) were also highly correlated with tenant satisfaction, according to Phil Mobley of Kingsley Associates, the firm that conducted the research in conjunction with BOMA International, BOMA Canada, CBRE, the Property Council New Zealand, and the South African Property Owners Association. However, respondents gave a comparatively low satisfaction rating to these features, suggesting that property managers have an opportunity to increase tenant satisfaction by expanding health-related services.
The survey also found that U.S. tenants were more likely to value the prestige of their building, whereas Canadian tenants value green features and access to public transportation.

Oswalt struggles with control in opener against Giants
Second inning is Oswalt's undoing
Ace struggles with control as Giants score 3
, Copyright 2010 Houston Chronicle |
April 6, 2010
Photo By Michael Paulsen/ChronicleAstros pitcher Roy Oswalt could not match the performance of reigning Cy Young winner Tim Lincecum.
Going up against a decidedly on-his-game Tim Lincecum, Roy Oswalt took two innings too long to find his comfort on the mound.
Oswalt survived a first inning in which he described himself as "a little bit pumped up," but his motion really betrayed him in the second inning of his eighth consecutive opening-day start.
The first four San Francisco batters reached base via hit or walk in the second as the Giants took a 3-0 lead on the way to their 5-2 win.
"In the second inning, I got out of sync a little bit with my mechanics, but I fell back in after that," Oswalt said. "I got going in the third, fourth and fifth and felt better mechanically."
In total, Oswalt threw six innings, giving up three runs on seven hits (all singles) along with two walks while striking out three. Most of that damage was done in heavy concentration in a troublesome second inning.
Uncharacteristic start
The inning started out harmlessly enough with a ground ball from former Astro Aubrey Huff that found a hole in the right side of the infield, but then the real trouble started.
Oswalt, among the best strike throwers in the game even during his down year in 2009, walked Mark DeRosa, as part of an uncharac- teristic start in which he threw 19 balls in his first 40 pitches (48 percent) — his career ball rate is closer to 32 percent.
Then came the big hits, as Bengie Molina and John Bowker hit fastballs to left for a pair of RBI singles, and Juan Uribe went deep to right for a sacrifice fly.
His mechanics then came back to him, as he threw 10 consecutive strikes at one point, but by that time it was too late. The three runs ended up being more than the Astros would score and equaled the final margin once closer Brian Wilson shut them down in the ninth.
Health not an issue
The main concern coming in was health for the 32-year-old Oswalt, and in that regard, the day went down as a success.
He received an injection in his back for pain management in muscles on the posterior after his final spring training start. When asked after the game if there was any issue with the pain, he responded with a terse "no."
The righthander threw 86 pitches and could have gone longer had he not been removed for pinch-hitter Cory Sullivan with the 3-0 San Francisco lead still intact.
"He would have had to if we hadn't been down," manager Brad Mills said. "We had to try to get some offense going as much as we could."
That offense would prove elusive until an insufficient outpouring in the ninth, and on a night when Oswalt had no wiggle room, one inning of wiggling sent the Astros to a loss.

Actress Sridevi's comeback film "English Vinglish" was written with only her in mind, says producer R. Balki, whose wife Gauri Shinde has directed the movie.
"'English Vinglish' is a very special film for me because it marks the comeback of Sridevi, possibly one of the greatest performers. It was written and discussed keeping Sridevi in mind," Balki told IANS.
Sridevi Kapoor scorched the silver screen with films like "Sadma", "Chandni" "Chaalbaaz", "Mr. India" and "Lamhe". Her last movie was "Judaai", released in 1997.
In "English Vinglish", Sridevi plays a woman who struggles to speak in English.
"She plays a simple woman who struggles with English language. In India, there is a major problem - either you need money, or you need fame or you need to talk in English to be considered a part of the upper class.
"There is a lot of struggle and lot of people in the country who are insecure because they don't know English. The film tackles that," said Balki, an adman-turned-filmmaker, who earlier directed critically acclaimed movies like "Cheeni Kum" and "Paa".
However, his wife Gauri, who has wielded the megaphone for "English Vinglish", didn't turn to him for any filmmaking tips.
"The last person she will take tips would be from me. My wife is very independent. I would rather take tips from her. She is very independent minded, she has her own sensibility and it works for her," he said.

Though I love Sri... Mr. Balki is lying... Some months ago his wife gave an interview that they had this script but didn't know whom to cast and thru Boney Kapoor's name Sri came into their mind... So really the script was written much before they casted Sri... Lies O Lies...

I would have come up with this being every guys dream girl, but lets get real.
Effin hilarious.
Maybe I should see a doctor about this.
Well, maybe not for everybody,
When is this girl going to come out with a sex tape.
They don't make em' like they claim to.
You should have seen the move he put on the guy.
I would probably just finish the race right then and there.
All that work just to take a picture.
I got to admit. Watching this video I sat anticipating the car to wipe out and roll down the mountain but, he actually friggin makes it. I figured posting a success story every once in awhile wouldnt kill me.
Where The Hell is Matt: The answer is he went pretty much everywhere. In 2007 Matt Harding took off on the adventure of a lifetime visiting dozens of countries. Every time he got to a new place he would film himself doing a quirky little dance with the natives. His video took off and became a web sensation!
A German cop stops this kid and takes away his motorcycle. During the process of confiscating it he ends up crashing it into a tree.
During a live TV cooking show some guy faints and slams his head against a blender.
What if Mary Poppins was a horror movie? It would be a pretty damn scary video, is what. Come to think of it, Mary Poppins was always a little scary. She could always have some really frightening stuff in that endless bag of hers. Spoonful of sugar helps what medicine go down? Poison?! Now that would be a scary video. A serial killing nanny terrorizing London in the most absurd scary movie of all time. London has been a pretty ideal setting for tales of the frightening and macabre for centuries. It's usually dark and stormy there, and there's plenty of thick fog for scary monsters and murderers to lurk in as they stalk their victims. Then, of course, there's the "even more terrifying because it's true story of Jack the Ripper, one of the most feared and diabolical serial killers of all time. Here's a better pitch for the movie: Mary Poppins is a sweet and whimsical nanny during the day, and then she becomes a hardened detective and serial killer hunter by night. I'd go see that!
We've all seen videos of a drunk, passed out guy getting chiefed. But these guys take it to a whole new level of ownage prank and record, in stop motion, everything they do to him.
Lasse Gjertsen is the same guy who created the Stop Motion Piano and Drums videos as well as the Human Beatbox video that we posted a while back. He's from Norway and he is one of the most creative film makers I've ever come across. Here's another one of his brilliant yet semi disturbing videos.
Two girls try a jump but overturn in mid-air causing the chick in front to slam her face into the hood causing her to bite a whole through her tongue.
Some auto show model has a pretty cool trick she shows the audience. I wonder how many guys ended up leaving the auto show at the end of the day and on the way home realized they never checked out any of the cars.
Some goofy teenage kid is playing with a gun in his room and it suddenly goes off. The power from the shot causes the gun to go flying right past his head.
This chick is being taught how to play badminton. Might sound a bit boring but I promise its worth checking out.
Zack's brief appearance in Eyes Wide Shut. This scene has that classic Kubrick feel, what a legend.
This guy Zack Kahn has had small cameos in dozens of big Hollywood movies. You've probably seen him before but you didn't realize it. Check out his profile page for more of his awesome appearances in films like The Godfather, The Good Son, and my favorite Boyz N The Hood.
I'm guessing old rainbow shirt here failed chem class.
Hey kids, Santa just landed on the roof and is gonna meet us all in the garage for milk and cookies! Looks like Santa has been hitting the egg nog a little hard.
This is pretty funny, people on the street seek advice from the fruitcake lady. Dont let her appearance fool you, she does not hold back at all. Check out NBC.com for more funny videos.
The Peloton is a the pack of cyclists that are riding in a race. This guy finds a ridge, waits for the peloton to get close and jumps over them in the middle of a race.
First let me say I promise this isn't a scare video, it's actually a cool optical illusion. Stare at the yellow circle in the middle and everything else disappears.
This is a video on how to create a pretty powerful dry ice bomb with water, a small chunk of dry ice, and a 2 liter bottle.
Either this dude has perfected the 180 degree back flip or is the most persistent skier trying to land full backflip ever.
