Nueces swings for '08 season
County to hear options on ball complex today
Nueces County Commissioners want to bring a new baseball team to Robstown in time for the 2008 baseball season.
County Attorney Laura Garza Jimenez will meet with commissioners today in closed session where she is expected to lay out two sets of options -- leasing the field or seeking proposals from leagues interested in bringing in an expansion team.
In mid-October the county opened up the option of a new team, when it severed ties with the Coastal Bend Aviators after owner Horn Chen fell behind on the rent.
"I think all of us would like to see a new team and league so we can have activity there starting in the spring," County Judge Loyd Neal said. "We just need to make sure where we are. I want it to be more favorable than the previous agreement."
At least two leagues are looking. One, the United League, is an independent with five of its six teams in Texas. The other, the Continental Baseball League, includes four teams in North and East Texas.
United League Commissioner Brad Wendt and Continental League Commissioner Ron Baron were not available for comment Monday.
County officials had no estimate Monday of what they can get for the stadium, though they hope it's enough to defray some of the expenses. Neal and Commissioners Oscar Ortiz and Chuck Cazalas would not speculate on the amount needed to make up for the costs.
"We need to talk to a couple of leagues and see what is out there," Ortiz said. "We know that these guys have a hard time. Somebody told me once that they squeeze nickels to get pennies. We want to find a mutually agreeable scenario so we have a good baseball team generating attendance and they are able to meet their costs."
Under the terms of his contract with the county, Chen was responsible for the upkeep of the field and he was supposed to pay the county $5,000 a month during the five-month baseball season. Chen recently had paid off roughly $40,000 in rent from the past two years, but had fallen behind again, when county officials called it quits, Neal said.
The county was picking up the tab for operating expenses including utilities. And county employees were often at the field to do maintenance, even though that responsibility was supposed to fall on Chen, Neal said.
Besides losing money on the Aviators, the county also is paying the debt service on the $6.73 million in certificates of obligation that the county sold in 2002 without voter approval to pay for the stadium.
This year that debt service will cost the county $402,950, and the county still owes $8.56 million in principal and interest on the facility, Neal said.
Monday, Chen's Chicago-based attorney Lester Rosen said before the Aviators were booted, there was a question of whether the ball club would be back next year, because it was not making money. He added that no one in Chen's organization had come to a final conclusion about the team's future before the county got involved. The Aviators' first season was in 2003 and the team continued to play in Robstown for five years.
Rosen disputes the back rent figure, saying the amount Chen owes is much lower.
"From my talking with the county they owe us some money and we owe them," Rosen said. "I think we are in the neighborhood of $7,000 or $8,000. They owe reimbursement for maintenance costs we paid."
He would not elaborate on what those costs were associated with, but said he and the county are negotiating.

About this Web Site
|Perennials, etc.
Listed here are some native plants that perform particularly well in the garden. Terms and symbols that describe garden conditions are explained below.
Don't take plants from the wild!
Nursery-propagated plants are available for every species listed on this page. There is no reason to despoil wild areas by removing plants. Statement on collecting plants.
Wild red columbine (Aquilegia canadensis)
|average to moist soil
|zones 3-9
|It's hard to think of a more graceful plant than the wild columbine, with its spurred red-and-yellow flowers nodding on slender stems. These, like many red flowers, attract hummingbirds. The delicately scalloped leaves form a neat mound of foliage. Wild red columbine, like most columbines, tends to seed itself in the garden (though not such much as to be a nuisance). In the wild, this plant prefers growing in the alkaline soil of limestone rocks, but in the garden it will grow in anything except very strongly acidic soil. 1-2' tall.
Bearberry, kinnickinick (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi)
|dry to average soil
|zones 2-6
|Bearberry is a useful ground cover that is handsome year-round. The leaves are glossy and evergreen. Small pink or white flowers in late spring are followed by bright red berries, popular with ground-dwelling birds. In winter, the stems become red and the leaves take on a dark red tint. Bearberry grows well in exposed, rocky or sandy sites; it also tolerates acid soil and the salt spray of seaside locations. 4" tall. More photos and information from UConn.
Wild ginger (Asarum canadense)
|dry to moist soil
|zones 3-8
|An easy, tolerant plant that makes a good ground cover. Its bold, heart-shaped leaves create a pleasing texture in the garden. The roots smell very much like ginger, though this plant is not related to culinary ginger. Wild ginger has interesting triangular flowers in spring, but finding them requires getting down on hands and knees -- they bloom just above the ground. (Click on the photo to the left to see an image of wild ginger in bloom.) 6" tall.
Butterfly weed (Asclepias tuberosa)
|dry to average soil
|zones 3-9
|True to its name, butterfly weed is a marvelous for attracting butterflies. The "weed" label, however, is entirely undeserved; it's not weedy in its looks or habits. The handsome, dark green foliage is topped with bright orange flowers in July and August. Butterfly weed has a long tap root that makes the plant highly drought-resistant, but also makes mature plants tricky to transplant. Container-grown plants, however, transplant easily. Butterfly weed is considered a "Great Plant for American Gardens" by the American Horticultural Society. 2-3' tall.
White wood aster (Eurybia divaricata, syn. Aster divaricatus)
|dry to average soil
|zones 4-8
|A good ground cover for tough situations. White wood aster thrives in dry shade, so it can be planted beneath shallow-rooted trees such as maples and elms. The flowers are not especially showy, but they are long-lasting, and an individual plant may be in bloom for two months. Foliage grows 6" high; flower stalks 18-24".
New England aster (Symphyotrichum novae-angliae, syn. Aster novae-angliae)
|average to wet soil
|zones 3-9
|There are hundreds of species of asters, but one of the best for gardens is our New England aster. (The American Horticultural Society lists it as a "Great Plant for American Gardens".) New England aster lights up the fall garden with its cheerful flowers, resembling purple daisies. This is a tall plant, good for the back of the garden. Frankly, its lower leaves can look tatty by fall, so keep it behind other plants. 3-5' tall.
Marsh marigold (Caltha palustris)
|moist to wet soil
or water up to four inches deep
|zones 2-7
|In the wild, marsh marigold grows in shallow water or marshy soil, but it doesn't need a marsh -- it will grow in moist garden soil. In mid-spring, its glossy, bright yellow flowers really grab one's attention. The plant goes dormant by mid-summer, so it makes a good companion for late-emerging plants, such as ferns. 1' tall.
Wild geranium (Geranium maculatum)
|moist soil, preferably acidic
|zones 3-9
|This charming woodland plant has soft lavender flowers in spring. Even when wild geranium is not in bloom, the distinctive, deeply cut leaves provide a decorative effect. If it is planted in a moist woodland spot, wild geranium may spread slowly by seed. 1-2' tall.
Cardinal flower (Lobelia cardinalis)
|moist soil in part shade, or wet soil in full sun
|zones 3-9
|In the wild, cardinal flower grows mostly in sunny swamps, but it will grow in moist garden soil if given part shade. Cardinal flower blooms in mid- to late summer; the brilliant red flowers are a favorite of hummingbirds. It is considered a "Great Plant for American Gardens" by the American Horticultural Society. 3' tall.
Solomon's plume (Maianthemum racemosum, syn. Smilacina racemosa)
|dry to moist soil
|zones 4-8
|This is a graceful plant for the woodland garden. In spring, clusters of starry white flowers are borne at the ends of arching stalks. Solomon's plume is easy to grow, and it spreads fast -- give it lots of room or be prepared to weed out excess. Its cousin starry Solomon's plume (Maianthemum stellatum) is another worthwhile garden plant, more restrained in its habits. Both plants have interesting berries; red-spotted in Solomon's plume, and striped like a beach ball in starry Solomon's plume. 1-2.5 feet tall.
Partridgeberry (Mitchella repens)
|average to moist soil;
prefers acidic soil
|zones 3-9
|Partridgeberry is a member of that essential garden category, the shade-loving evergreen ground covers. It is one of the best choices for dark shade. Partridgeberry spreads across the ground by vining stems, growing only two inches high. Its leaves are small and dark green, often with light-colored veins. Partridgeberry has white flowers in early summer; in fall and winter it is ornamented by bright red fruits. 2 inches tall.
Wild blue phlox (Phlox divaricata)
|average to moist soil
|zones 3-8
|Lightly fragrant clusters of lilac-colored flowers grace this woodland plant in spring. The flowers reward close inspection -- each petal is shallowly notched at the tip, and appears to have been pinched where it joins the center of the flower. Wild blue phlox is considered a "Great Plant for American Gardens" by the American Horticultural Society. 1 foot tall.
Bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis)
|average to moist soil
|zones 3-8
|Bloodroot is one of the earliest wildflowers of spring. In March, the delicate white flowers appear, each with a broad leaf wrapped protectively around its stalk. Bloodroot goes dormant around mid-summer. Ferns make good companions, as they tend to emerge late in spring. By the time bloodroot goes dormant, ferns can fill in the gap. 6 inches tall.
Foamflower (Tiarella cordifolia)
|average to moist soil
|zones 3-8
|Foamflower's charms have just recently begun to be appreciated by gardeners and plants breeders. Foamflower has spikes of fluffy white flowers that rise above a carpet of soft green leaves. It blooms strongly in late spring, and, if it has consistently moist soil, it will continue to produce the occasional flower spike until frost. Foamflower spreads by stolons, so it can be used as a ground cover. The leaves will stay green through mild winters. 8-12 inches tall.
Barren strawberry (Waldsteinia fragariodes)
|dry to moist soil
|zones 4-9
|Barren strawberry looks similar to strawberry plants, but with showy yellow flowers (and no edible fruit). Like strawberries, barren strawberry will spread quickly by runners, making it a good ground cover. The leaves are evergreen, at least during Connecticut's milder winters. Yellow flowers in spring and summer. 4-8 inches tall.
Trumpet honeysuckle (Lonicera sempervirens)
|average soil
|zones 4-9
|This is a showy vine with scarlet flowers in summer and autumn. Trumpet honeysuckle is a favorite with hummingbirds. The leaves are dark green on top, and pale blue-green beneath. The vine climbs by twining stems, so it needs a trellis, fence, or large shrub to climb on. Climbs 10-20'. More photos and information can be found at UConn's Plants Database.
Climbing bittersweet (Celastrus scandens)
|dry to moist soil
|zones 3-8
|This vine is rapidly becoming rare in New England, due to competition from an invasive alien, Asiatic bittersweet. Climbing bittersweet is grown for its showy fruit -- clusters of bright orange-red seeds with pumpkin-orange seed covers. The fruits dry well, and they are good for decoration. Both male and female vines are needed to get fruit, but unfortunately bittersweet is generally sold without labeling the sex. Planting four or more vines is generally enough to get both sexes. Be sure to buy this from a nursery that knows their plants well; we have seen nurseries that selling Asiatic bittersweet labelled as climbing bittersweet. (Asiatic bittersweet is too aggressive to be a good garden vine -- it can climb to the top of an 80 foot tree.) Climbing bittersweet grows 20-30' high.
Virgin's Bower (Clematis virginiana)
|average to moist soil
|zones 3-9
|Virgin's bower is grown for its late-summer flowers. After the flowers are gone, it has attractive, feathery seed heads. This vine spreads rapidly, so it's best to give it lots of space. Climbs 5-20'.
Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia)
|dry to average soil
|zones 3-9
|A vigorous and adaptable vine with showy fall foliage. Virginia creeper will climb up walls or trees, clinging to the surface with adhesive disks. If it doesn't have anything to climb, it serves as a fast-spreading ground cover. In fall, the leaves turn brilliant red. Tolerates salt, strong wind, and urban conditions. Not recommended for climbing up shingled or painted surfaces. Climbs 50'. More photos and information can be found at UConn's Plants Database.
Marginal woodfern (Dryopteris marginalis). Marginal woodfern has dark green, leathery fronds. The fronds
stay green all winter, adding interest to the winter landscape. 2' tall.
More information
from University of Vermont.
( / average to moist soil / zones 3-8)
Ostrich fern (Matteuccia struthiopteris). This is a large fern that forms lovely vase-shaped
clumps. In good conditions it tends to spread aggressively by the roots, so exercise caution in
planting it near delicate plants. Grows 2'-5' tall -- more sun and moisture means taller.
( / average to wet soil / zones 3-8)
Cinnamon fern (Osmunda cinnamomea). Simply a magnificent fern. Given constantly wet soil and
full sun, cinnamon fern will grow in dense, 5' clumps. Less tall, but still handsome, in drier or
shadier conditions. The cinnamon-colored fertile fronds make a nice accent. 3-5' tall.
( / moist soil in part shade, or wet soil in full sun / zones 4-8)
Christmas fern (Polystichum acrostichoides). The evergreen fronds of this fern have been used for
Christmas decorations, hence the name. This fern is very useful in plantings beneath trees, as
it tolerates root competition. Christmas fern is also more tolerant of dry soil than are most ferns. 1.5' tall.
More information from the
University of Vermont.
( / average to damp soil / zones 3-8)
Ornamental Grasses
Big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii). This is the dominant grass of tall-grass prairie.
The blue-green leaves turn shades of red and purple in fall. 4-6' tall.
Photo of big bluestem inflorescence from the University of Houston.
( / dry to average soil; needs good drainage; good in sandy soil / zones 2-8)
Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum). Another denizen of tall-grass prairie, switchgrass forms tall,
stately clumps. In early fall, it
has airy purplish flower-heads. The seeds provide food for birds. The grass is yellow in fall, and tan in the winter. 3-5' tall.
More information from University of Vermont.
Photo from the University of Texas.
( / dry to average soil / zones 4-9)
Little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium, syn. Andropogon scoparius) is a highly ornamental grass that deserves
to be used more. Little bluestem is a dominant grass of mixed-grass prairie; in the east, it tends to
grow in abandoned fields and rocky ridges.
Little bluestem thrives in
poor or rocky soil, where it grows into a neat column.
In rich soil, however, it grows tall and floppy. In fall, the grass
turns reddish-gold, with fluffy white seed clusters. Its gold color and columnar form persist
all winter. It's still looking good after winter wind has damaged most other grasses. 3' tall.
Photo from the University of Texas.
( / dry to average soil / zones 4-9)
Full sun -- more than five hours of direct sun per day.
Part shade -- two to five hours of direct sun, or all-day dappled sun, as from sunlight shining through open trees.
Full shade -- less than two hours of direct sun per day.
Soil moisture: "Average" soil moisture describes typical conditions for Connecticut. "Dry," here, means soil that dries fairly quickly after a rain, or soil dried out by shallow tree roots -- not desert conditions.
Hardiness zones: These describe the plant's tolerance of winter cold. Here is one site where you can look up your hardiness zone. All plants listed here are hardy throughout Connecticut, which is in zones 5 and 6.

RIVERDALE — Throughout his senior season, Riverdale's Troy Wyche had his sights set high. The 6-foot, 210 pound linebacker spearheaded a defense that saw the Raiders make the playoffs for the first time since 2005, while making second team all state in the process. Off the field he was assured of playing major college football as he held several offers from Football Bowl Series schools.
However, while being prudent is a positive for making most decisions in life, it can be a detriment in the world of recruiting. Wyche did not commit to any of his suitors and was ultimately left out in the cold, as the offers were accepted by other players. That is why on signing day Wyche signed a letter of intent to attend Savannah State, making him one of two Riverdale players to sign on the first day in which high school players can make their college choices official.
Left looking for a Plan B, Wyche made the decision to pledge to Savannah State on Saturday.
"Towards the end this was really my only option," Wyche said. "It was kind of out of the blue. My first time talking to them was last week."
Wyche, a two-star prospect and 151st ranked outside linebacker in the nation according
Scout.com, claimed committable offers from schools such as Indiana, Memphis, and Southern Mississippi.
"I wanted to wait to go on a visit before I committed, but before I could go on a visit
other people committed," Wyche said.
What Wyche experienced was the less talked about evil twin of prospects flipping their
commitments. Schools pressure a number of prospects to commit to them early, if they do not, chances are their window to commit could be gone. Riverdale head coach Olten Downs answer to the problem, commit even if you are not sure.
"They're offering multiple players at positions," Downs said. "When you got a couple of offers you have to go ahead and commit somewhere and if something better comes along [then] you can go that route."
Unlike Wyche's recruitment, Raider lineman Jordan Sidney's college choice had its eyes on him for quite some time. Sidney signed to attend Tennessee State.

A Political Philosophy for Modern Times
Joseph Chan
Since the very beginning, Confucianism has been troubled by a serious gap between its political ideals and the reality of societal circumstances. Contemporary Confucians must develop a viable method of governance that can retain the spirit of the Confucian ideal while tackling problems arising from nonideal modern situations. The best way to meet this challenge, Joseph Chan argues, is to adopt liberal democratic institutions that are shaped by the Confucian conception of the good rather than the liberal conception of the right.
Confucian Perfectionism examines and reconstructs both Confucian political thought and liberal democratic institutions, blending them to form a new Confucian political philosophy. Chan decouples liberal democratic institutions from their popular liberal philosophical foundations in fundamental moral rights, such as popular sovereignty, political equality, and individual sovereignty. Instead, he grounds them on Confucian principles and redefines their roles and functions, thus mixing Confucianism with liberal democratic institutions in a way that strengthens both. Then he explores the implications of this new yet traditional political philosophy for fundamental issues in modern politics, including authority, democracy, human rights, civil liberties, and social justice.
Confucian Perfectionism critically reconfigures the Confucian political philosophy of the classical period for the contemporary era.
Joseph Chan is a professor in the Department of Politics and Public Administration at the University of Hong Kong.
"[T]he political vision that emerges from the pages of this book is reasonable, humane and inspiring."--Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
"Chan has created a very interesting work in the Confucian tradition of revival and reinterpretations for current times."--Choice
"This splendid book makes a powerful case that Confucianism has much to contribute to contemporary political thought and practice the world over. With clear and careful argumentation, Chan shows that Confucian perfectionist ideals retain their attractiveness in the present day and that new kinds of institutions are needed to best realize these ideals in our modern world."--Stephen C. Angle, Wesleyan University
"Joseph Chan is one of the most sophisticated and insightful people working not only to understand traditional Confucian political philosophy but also to develop it as a powerful and attractive view for the modern world."--Philip J. Ivanhoe, City University of Hong Kong
"This book introduces an exciting new element to contemporary democratic theory--the integration of key concepts drawn from Confucianism and adapted for the modern world. With its stimulating arguments, the book has the potential to have great influence in Asia and shake up democratic theory in the West."--Jane Mansbridge, Harvard Kennedy School
"This original and important book is a fresh effort to use Confucian ideas to help us recognize, understand, and perhaps, address problems in our own democracy."--Archon Fung, Harvard Kennedy School

Life on Film: Todd
Each year, about 100 Azusa Pacific student Resident Advisors, like Todd Williams '13, participate in Walkabout, a 10-day leadership training trek in the High Sierras. This adventure challenges students physically, as well as spiritually and emotionally as they bond in close community, and learn to fully lean on one another and God. For Todd, who was born with spastic cerebral palsy, Walkabout served as a reminder that life is about trusting God. "No matter how hard I think I have to work at something and use my own strength— it's not enough. That's something that God's teaching me. I don't have to depend on myself. I have to depend on Him."

Read Poems by
Sean Kelly
December sun that hangs so low
To crawl across dim Winter cloud .
You were our friend six months ago
And wrapped me in your Summer shroud
Of coloured gardens , full of bloom
That scented life
In my living room .
The long cold shadows that you cast ,
Like the frosted breaths of early morn
That linger ..., yet , but never last ,
Like some dark and dreary love forlorn .
Memories of your crisp, clear cold
Long Winters past
Wrapped , but still unsold .
December sun of blinding light
No takers for your offer , here .
Your short day and your long cold night
The dying throes of one more year .
Your only pal , the Winter snow
Is children's friend
And farmer's foe .

Medford, Ore. -- Two Medford transients are in jail tonight after police said they lured a minor into their van for sex.
Mark Doty, 41, and Cameron Lauckner, 19, are facing charges for luring a minor, online sexual corruption of a child, and unlawful delivery of marijuana to a minor.
Police said the two suspects met the 16 year-old boy on Cragislist under "casual encounters."
"In this case the suspects did know the victim's age," Lieutenant Mike Budreau said.
Police said Doty is a sex offender and that he and Lauckner's contact with the victim began with the exchange of sexual videos and photos via cell phone.
Police said the victim agreed to meet Doty and Lauckner Wednesday in the van they were living in in the Sears parking lot. Police believe the suspects intended it to be a sexual encounter. They said the suspects gave the boy marijuana but allowed him to leave when he became concerned for his safety.
"This could have really turned out rather bad when you have a juvenile meeting a sex offender in a van. Who know really what could have happened?" Budreau said.
A couple days later the victim told his parents. They contacted police.
The two men were arrested Thursday after police were able to track down their van in the Lowe's parking lot.
Budreau said people need to be cautious of which online
"friends" they meet in person.
"It's proven to be dangerous and nothing good can really come of it," Budreau said.
He also said that although MPD doesn't see cases like this often it's a good reminder for parents to always be aware of what their kids are doing on the computer.

The self-titled debut CD by De La Tierra, the all-star Latin metal band featuring former A.N.I.M.A.L. singer/guitarist Andres Giménez, Sepultura guitarist Andreas Kisser, Los Fabulosos Cadillacs bassist Sr. Flavio, and Maná drummer Alex González, is available everywhere today. (Get your copy on iTunes!) Featuring 11 tracks of punishing metal, with lyrics in Spanish and Portuguese, the album is a testament to the bandmembers' love of metal, and the power of riffs to transcend language barriers. Latin American crowds have always been legendary among metal bands on tour, and now, for the first time in a long time, a band has emerged from there to make a run at the throne.
We spoke to Alex González by phone from his home in Guadalajara, Mexico to learn how the group came together, how the album was made, and what De La Tierra's vision is of metal and their place within it.
How long have you known the other guys in the band, and how did De La Tierra form?
OK, Andres Giménez, who was the singer and guitar player for A.N.I.M.A.L., one of the biggest metal bands to come out of Argentina, I've known him for almost ten years, because he was on Warner Bros., the same label as [Maná]. So we would always cross paths, and I always admired his band and his singing and the way he really pushed Latin metal toward the mainstream. 'Cause Sepultura did that, but they were doing it in English, and A.N.I.M.A.L. did it in Spanish, and that was something very, very cool. So around 2008, after a Maná concert, we talked about my love of metal and bands I grew up playing to as a drummer, and he said, like friends, "We should get together and jam," and I thought that would be awesome, but it would be so difficult because of my obligations with Maná. I never thought that there was going to be any time to do it. But Dave Grohl, he's someone I admire very much, because coming from Nirvana and then starting from zero again with Foo Fighters, then playing with Lemmy [in Probot] and Them Crooked Vultures and now he's playing with Paul McCartney—at the end of the day, it's about creating and it's about playing music. So I said, if we can do it, I've always wanted to play metal, so if I have the time, and there's a space between the last Maná record and the next one, I'm gonna do it, but I want to do it with people that have the credibility and the experience doing it. So I told Andres around November of 2011, when we were playing in Argentina, I said, "Let's do this. Let's put a band together, make some kick-ass metal, not limit ourselves to playing one style, let's play a whole bunch of different styles that we like and have fun." So we called Flavio, the bass player from the Cadillacs, we told him about this idea we had; he's an amazing bass player, he can play any style, especially more from the hardcore punk scene, but he can also play metal very easily. So we talked about the project and he said, "Man, I'm in." So we had the trio, but Andres said it would be great to have an extra guitar player, so the guitars are even more gnarly and more powerful. And he said, "I have the guy, but it's gonna be almost impossible, because of his schedule and the band he's in." I said, well, who is it? And he said, it's Andreas Kisser from Sepultura. So I said, "Dude, he's a really good friend of mine! I just finished playing Rock in Rio with him, he got up on stage and played with us, I played with him when Scorpions went down to Guadalajara..." We already had a good friendship. So I sent him an email—he was on tour with Sepultura in Italy, and after he got offstage and read the email, and immediately wrote back and said "Dude, don't look for any more guitar players—I'm your guitar player!" So that's basically how we started—no managers, no reality TV show, no sponsors; it was just four friends who've known each other so many years. Metal and playing together is what brought us together.
Was the album recorded by all of you together, or did you do it via file sharing?
No, no, no—this is the good thing about technology; once we had the lineup, we each started to write songs and demo them in our home studios, me in Guadalajara, Mexico, Andreas in São Paulo, and the other two guys in Buenos Aires. So we were always Skyping back and forth, talking about ideas and what we could bring to the table. But the important thing was, we got together first, to see if there was musical chemistry. Because as friends, there's this great relationship and this great chemistry, but maybe that won't happen when we all get together in a room and start playing. So mid-February of 2013, Andreas and I flew out to Buenos Aires and we all lived in Flavio's house. He has a studio and rehearsal space in the back, and we got in there for a week, and the first day we started playing and vibing off each other, we knew right away that something special was being born there. It was a real band. And that was vital, for us to be together in that space playing those demos we'd been sending back and forth. So once we saw this was a real thing, we booked a studio in Buenos Aires in May and recorded everything there except for the guitars, which were in São Paulo, and I did a couple of percussion things in Guadalajara, but basically everything was done in Buenos Aires except for the mastering. That was done in L.A. with my good friend Tom Baker. And we financed everything, it was like an independent band. We were doing everything ourselves. We produced the record ourselves, we did the arrangements…Stanley Suarez, he's the engineer, he did a couple of Sepultura albums and he's also worked with Motörhead, he'll probably be our front of house engineer once we start touring. The whole record took a month and a half to do. This is not a ProTools band. Everything you hear on the record is either the second or the third take. That's it.
What are your plans as far as taking De La Tierra on the road?
Well, the idea is to do our first round of touring in March and April. We're looking to play the most important festivals in Latin America and Europe. The thing is, we have to find holes where we can go and play because we all have our commitments—you know, Andreas is touring with Sepultura, I'll be doing my stuff with Maná, starting a new album in May, but the good thing is we have support from our bands. Once they found out we were gonna do this project, they were like, that's awesome, but if you're gonna do it, give it 100 percent. So it's just about figuring out how we're gonna find those holes to tour and make it happen. Because this is a long-term project; this is not something where we just want to do one album and one tour and disappear. It's not a supergroup, it's a new band we're starting from zero. Even though we come from four important bands from Latin America that have left their fingerprints on pop and rock and metal, I think the important thing is we want to continue to do things and grow.
Do you think some Maná fans will be surprised by this side of you?
Honestly, I think some metal people that might be a little narrow-minded are gonna be surprised by this side of me. [Laughs]
Who are some of your favorite metal drummers? Who did you grow up listening to?
I first started to play the drums because of the Beatles, I saw them on TV when I was like four years old and said, that's it, that's what I want to do for the rest of my life. But at the same time, I got introduced to Kiss when I was six years old, so that whole period of my life, between 1974 and 1979, I was a huge Kiss fan. My whole room was covered in posters and magazine covers and everything I could find; my mom was afraid of walking into the room because she was saying, this kid is out of his mind. I was also listening to a lot of Led Zeppelin; John Bonham is one of my biggest influences on the drums. And then I started getting into other music, like Van Halen came around and I heard "Eruption" and "You Really Got Me" and was like, oh my God, what is this? So I became a huge fan of Van Halen; Alex Van Halen was another big influence on me. That's why I started customizing my kits, because Alex Van Halen was always coming with a new kit, with a different look every time Van Halen would come out with a new album. Then starting in about 1984, the whole Sunset Strip scene with Quiet Riot, Mötley Crüe, Guns N' Roses, amazing bands like that. And then you had the Big Four—I would listen to Anthrax, Metallica, Slayer…I have some good friends in the metal industry because of the endorsements I have, so I've been able to have a good relationship with Charlie [Benante] from Anthrax, Dave Lombardo from Slayer, Danny Carey from Tool…I've met a lot of great people. Deftones is one of my favorite bands, a group I really respect and admire a lot. I'm listening to Gojira, too. There's just so much music out there. I think what we need to do is, because of the notoriety we have, we can attract a lot of media attention, and we can say, don't ignore this. There's millions of Latino fans that love metal music and you can't ignore that they want to hear it. We've been given opportunities on radio and with our videos, so they can't ignore this genre that's been alive forever. The fans are there. Even if you look at the history of metal, how many Latino musicians have been in bands, from Rudy Sarzo to Robert Trujillo, Randy Castillo, Roy Mayorga from Stone Sour—there's a lot of Latinos that play metal music. So I don't think it's a no-brainer, I think it's just a matter of people not being prejudiced and having an open mind. Music is music. One of the things De La Tierra wants to do is unify people. I think the world is full already and sick of so much negative stuff, of racism and prejudice. Metal has one of the most loyal crowds in the world; they've been subjected to so much criticism from people who think they know how metal people think, but I think we're in a very positive moment right now where music, especially metal, can unite people instead of divide people. It's one of the few times when people can go to a concert and for an hour and a half or two, nobody's thinking about politics, nobody's thinking about your sexual orientation, nobody's thinking about anything but enjoying the music, enjoying that band.

Gear Review
Rad shoes. Buy normal size.
Love the shoes. They were just as I had imagined aesthetically. Rugged with cozy charm. I bought them for my partner and he loved them too! Unfortunately I listened to the advice of other reviewers and bought a half-size down--and they ended up being a half-size too small! My partner commented, "They style of the shoe makes it appear as though they will fit looser than they actually do." Order true to size & you will be happy!

How Candy Makers Helped Develop the iMac
I love it when companies are able to find solutions to problems in non-traditional places.
I was recently at a conference where someone said that Apple was having difficulty making the clear, colored plastic that adorns the iMac. None of the plastic manufacturers could find a solution that could make the product hard and durable enough.
Where did they look for solutions?
Candy manufacturers. They can make hard and clear delights in a lot of different colors…just like the iMac.
When you are stuck and can't solve a problem, look somewhere else.

| Onychomycosis
|A toenail affected by Onychomycosis
For patient information, click Onychomycosis
Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [3]; Associate Editor(s)-in-Chief: Kiran Singh, M.D. [4]
Synonyms and keywords: Tinea unguium; fungal nail infection
Onychomycosis means fungal infection of the nails. It represents up to 20% of all nail disorders.
This condition may affect toe- or fingernails, but toenail infections are particularly common. The most common type of onychomycosis (80-90%), caused by dermatophytes, is technically known as tinea unguium (tinea of the nails).[1] It can result in discoloration, thickening, chalkiness, or crumbling of the nails and is often treated by powerful oral medications which, rarely, can cause severe side effects including liver failure.
- Distal Subungual Onychomycosis
- The most common form of tinea unguium usually caused by Trichophyton rubrum, which invades the nail bed and the underside of the nail plate.
- White Superficial Onychomycosis
- Caused by fungal invasion of the superficial layers of the nail plate to form "white islands" on the plate. Accounts for only 10 percent of onychomycosis cases.
- Proximal Subungual Onychomycosis
- Fungal penetration of the newly formed nail plate through the proximal nail fold. It is the least common form of tinea unguium in healthy people but found more commonly when the patient is immunocompromised.
- Candidal Onychomycosis
- Candida species invade fingernails usually occurring in persons who frequently immerse their hands in water. This normally requires the prior damage of the nail by infection or trauma.
- Total Dystrophic Onychomycosis
- Total destruction of the nail plate. It is the end result of any of the above four types.
Dermatophytes are the fungi most commonly responsible for onychomycosis.
Two dermatophyte species, Trichophyton rubrum and Trichophyton interdigitale, cause the vast majority of onychomycosis cases worldwide.
Other related dermatophyte fungi that may be involved are Epidermophyton floccosum, Trichophyton violaceum, Microsporum gypseum, Trichophyton tonsurans, Trichophyton soudanense (considered by some to be an African variant of T. rubrum rather than a full-fledged separate species) and the cattle ringworm fungus Trichophyton verrucosum. A common outdated name that may still be reported by medical laboratories is Trichophyton mentagrophytes for T. interdigitale.
The name T. mentagrophytes is now restricted to the agent of favus skin infection of the mouse; though this fungus may be transmitted from mice and their danders to humans, it generally infects skin and not nails.
Other causal fungi include yeasts (5-17%), e.g., Candida, and non-dermatophytic moulds, in particular members of the mould genera Scytalidium (name recently changed to Neoscytalidium), Scopulariopsis, and Aspergillus.
Yeasts mainly cause fingernail onychomycosis in people whose hands are often submerged in water. Scytalidium mainly affects people in the tropics, though it persists if they later move to areas of temperate climate.
Other moulds mainly affect people over the age of 60, and their presence in the nail reflects a slight weakening in the nail's ability to defend itself against fungal invasion.
Epidemiology and Demographics
The prevalence of onychomycosis is about 6-8% in the adult population.[2]
If all nails are affected then fungal infection is improbable. To avoid misdiagnosis as psoriasis, lichen planus, contact dermatitis, trauma, nail bed tumor or yellow nail syndrome, laboratory confirmation may be necessary. The three main approaches are potassium hydroxide smear, culture and histology. This involves microscopic examination and culture of nail scrapings or clippings. Recent results indicate that the most sensitive diagnostic approaches are direct smear combined with histological examination[3] and nail plate biopsy using periodic acid-Schiff stain[4].
The nail plate can have a thickened, yellow, or cloudy appearance. The nails can become rough and crumbly, or can separate from the nail bed. There is usually no pain or other bodily symptoms, unless the disease is severe. [5]
Dermatophytids are fungus-free skin lesions that sometimes form as a result of a fungus infection in another part of the body. This could take the form of a rash or itch in an area of the body that is not infected with the fungus. Dermatophytids can be thought of as an allergic reaction to the fungus.
Physical Examination
The following images show examples of how an onychomycosis patient's nails may look like. The nails may have a brown appearance.

Treatment of onychomycosis is challenging because the infection is embedded within the nail and is difficult to reach. As a result full removal of symptoms is very slow and may take a year or more. Mild onychomycosis sometimes responds to a combination of topical antifungal medication, sometimes applied as special medicinal nail lacquer, and periodic filing of the nail surface. For advanced onychomycosis, especially if more than one nail is infected, systemic medication (pills) is preferred.
Most treatments are either systemic antifungal medications such as terbinafine and itraconazole, or topical such as nail paints containing ciclopirox or amorolfine. There is also evidence for combining systemic and topical treatments.[7]
For superficial white onychomycosis systemic rather than topical antifungal therapy is advised.[8]
Chronic Pharmacotherapies
Relative effectiveness of treatments
In July 2007 a meta-study reported on clinical trials for topical treatments of fungal nail infections. The study included 6 randomised controlled trials dating up to March 2005.[9] The main findings are:
- There is some evidence that ciclopiroxolamine and butenafine are both effective but both need to be applied daily for prolonged periods (at least 1 year).
- There is evidence that topical ciclopiroxolamine has poor cure rates and that amorolfine might be substantially more effective.
- Further research into the effectiveness of antifungal agents for nail infections is required.
A 2002 study compared the efficacy and safety of terbinafine in comparison with placebo, itraconazole and griseofulvin in treating fungal infections of the nails.[10] The main findings were that for reduced fungus terbinafine was found to be significantly better than itraconazole and griseofulvin, and terbinafine was better tolerated than itraconazole.
- A small study in 2004 showed that ciclopirox nail paint was more effective when combined with topical urea cream.[11]
- A study of 504 patients in 2007 found that aggressive debridement of the nail combined with oral terbinafine significantly reduced symptom frequency over terbinafine alone.[12]
- A 2007 randomised clinical trial with 249 patients show that a combination of amorolfine nail lacquer and oral terbinafine enhances clinical efficacy and is more cost-effective than terbinafine alone.[13]
Most drug development activities are focused on:
- the discovery of new antifungals
- novel delivery methods to promote access of existing antifungal drugs into the infected nail plate
Active clinical trials investigating Onychomycosis:[14]
Some phase III clinical trials revolving around onychomycosis are shown below.
- A medicinal nail lacquer, NM100060 from NexMed,[15] contains terbinafine as the active ingredient and a permeation enhancer which facilitates the delivery of the drug into the nail bed where the fungus resides. Commercial sale of the product is expected to begin no earlier than in 2010.[16]
- A comparison of delivery methods for Itraconzole.[17]
- Safety and tolerability of topical Terbinafine.[18]
Some phase II clinical trials revolving around onychomycosis are show below.
- A topical treatment, AN-2690, is being developed by Schering-Plough Corp and Anacor Pharmaceuticals. It is active against Trichophyton species.[19]
- Posaconazole, taken orally.[20]
- A topical treatment, NB-002, is being developed by NanoBio Corporation.[21] It has completed Phase II trails.[22]
A non-pharmalogical approach with encouraging preliminary results is ultraviolet germicidal irradiation which has been shown to deactivate dermatophytes both in vitro and ex vivo.[23]
Natural remedies As with many diseases, there are also some scientifically unverified folk or alternative medicine remedies.
- Australian tea tree oil.[24][25] In a study at the University of Rochester tea tree oil applied twice daily in conjunction with debridement was found to be an appropriate initial treatment strategy, equally effective to topical use of clotrimazole[26].
- Grapefruit seed extract as a natural antimicrobial is not demonstrated. Its effectiveness is scientifically unverified. Multiple studies indicate that the universal antimicrobial activity is due to contamination with synthetic preservatives that were unlikely to be made from the seeds of the grapefruit.[27][28][29][30][31]
- Another procedure is to apply two drops of distilled white vinegar to the nail base, or, additionally, nail plate and under the nail, two or three times daily for approximately six months or until the fungus is gone. This treatment is very effective, due to the vinegar's acidity, if followed consistently.
New developments
- A medicinal nail lacquer, NM100060 from NexMed is in Phase III clinical trials[32]. It contains terbinafine as the active ingredient and a permeation enhancer which facilitates the delivery of the drug into the nail bed where the fungus resides. Commercial sale of the product is expected to begin no earlier than in 2008. [33]
- A topical treatment, AN-2690, is being developed by Schering-Plough Corp. It is active against Trichophyton species. Phase II and IIb trials are underway. [19]
