To date, nearly all vegetation studies in New Zealand have been carried out in pristine to semi-natural systems. Thus, urban ecology in New Zealand is in its infancy as compared with the centuries of observation, documentation and mapping of vegetation, biotopes and natural history in urban areas of Europe (Gilbert,1989; Breuste et al., 1998; Sukopp, 2002; Breuste, Chapter 21; Florgård, Chapter 22; Wittig, Chapter 30) and 30-plus years of study in North America (Zipperer and Guntenspergen, Chapter 17). The relatively few studies of urban vegetation in the New World have typically focused on remnant natural systems enveloped by residential and commercial dwellings (Airola and Buchholz, 1984; Rudnicky and McDonnell, 1989; Kuschel, 1990; Molloy, 1995; McDonnell et al., 1997). Accordingly, there is a distinction to be made between the ecology of remnant primary ecosystems (those that retain at least some thread of biological and pedological continuity with the primeval system) and the ecology of synthetic or spontaneous recombinant systems on anthropogenic substrates (i.e. most vegetation in cities and towns). In New Zealand, we know quite a lot about natural forest, wetland and grassland vegetation, whether in National Parks or as remnants in cities (Wardle, 1991); but little about recombinant communities of cultural landscapes (that is, human-inhabited landscapes in the sense of Nassauer (1997)). They have been traditionally shunned in New Zealand because they almost totally comprise exotic, planted and/or weedy species.

Joe Wieland SP LAD 1 month ago
Wieland (0-1) took a no-decision Wednesday night, giving up two earned runs over four hits and a walk while striking out two in a 3-2 loss to the Angels.
Competitive Edge Analysis
Wieland pitched reasonably well ...
Joe Wieland SP LAD 1 month ago
Wieland will start Wednesday against the Angels in place of Mat Latos, who was scratched with a sore neck.
Joe Wieland SP LAD 4 months ago
Wieland is expected to be called up ahead of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Rockies to serve as the Dodgers' 26th man, Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register reports.
It's not clear at this juncture if Wieland will start Game 2 of the doubleheader or simply serve as the long man out of the bullpen. If the Dodgers opt to use David Huff in relief of Zack Greinke during Monday's series opener, Wieland would likely be given the spot start for Tuesday's nightcap, which would normally be a more intriguing role for fantasy purposes. However, with a start at Coors Field is hardly a favorable environment for success, and with a demotion back to Triple-A expected to come immediately after the doubleheader, it's difficult to recommend Wieland as even a speculative pickup.
Joe Wieland SP LAD 5 months ago
Wieland was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday, Bill Shaikin of the LA Times reports.
Wieland was called up for a spot start Wednesday, and he will head back to Oklahoma City for the time being. Though he lasted just 4.2 innings in Wednesday's game, he will be an option next time the Dodgers need to bring up a starter.
Joe Wieland SP LAD 5 months ago
Wieland surrendered six runs on six hits, walking four and striking out two over 4.2 innings on Wednesday.
The call up didn't go as the youngster planned as he gave up five runs in the first inning, including a pair of two-run home runs by Scooter Gennett and Adam Lind. Wieland is now 0-1 with a 11.57 ERA after one game and we wouldn't recommend him in any fantasy format as of now.
Joe Wieland SP LAD 5 months ago
Wieland was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday.
The move is all but a formality, as the team announced earlier in the week that Wieland would get the start in Wednesday's game against Milwaukee. The 25-year-old has given up eight runs on 17 hits through 20.0 Triple-A innings this season.
Joe Wieland SP LAD 5 months ago
Wieland said he will start Wednesday against the Brewers, not Thursday, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
While Wieland will effectively take the rotation spot vacated by Scott Baker, the Dodgers will keep Wieland on regular rest and give Carlos Frias one additional day between starts. The 25-year-old Wieland gave up eight earned runs on 17 hits and two walks with 22 strikeouts in 20 innings with Triple-A Oklahoma City to start the year.
Joe Wieland SP LAD 5 months ago
Wieland will get the start for the Dodgers on Thursday in Milwaukee, the Orange County Register's Bill Plunkett reports.
He has gone exactly five innings in all four of his starts for Triple-A Oklahoma City this season, but has not thrown more than 82 pitches in any one outing. Of the many candidates the Dodgers have experimented with in the rotation, Wieland may have the most potential to miss bats, as he has 22 strikeouts and just two walks in 20 innings this season. While he may not stay in the rotation for long, there's a chance he could hold a spot all year if he really impresses. He is worth a flier in deep mixed leagues and most NL-only leagues.
Joe Wieland SP LAD 5 months ago
Wieland will in fact not get the spot start Sunday for the Dodgers as he is taking the ball Saturday for Triple-A Oklahoma City, MLB.com's Ken Gurnick reports.
While Wieland makes more sense on paper, Scott Baker appears to be the likely candidate to get the spot start Sunday. Given how well Wieland has pitched in the early going, he will probably find a way to get at least one start for the Dodgers at some point this season, but the doesn't quite have the pedigree to be a stash candidate in shallower formats.
Joe Wieland SP LAD 6 months ago1 Comment
Wieland is expected to be called up to start Saturday or Sunday against the Padres, the Los Angeles Times' Dylan Hernandez reports.
This makes sense, as the Dodgers could not afford to ride Mike Bolsinger in the rotation much longer. Brett Anderson and Clayton Kershaw will now be allowed to make their next starts on an extra day of rest. Wieland had a 1.80 ERA and 14 strikeouts in 10 innings (two starts) this season for Triple-A Oklahoma City. There's a solid chance that Wieland can stick in the rotation until Hyun-Jin Ryu is able to return, so he is worth a flier in deeper leagues given the strength of his team and the favorable pitching environments in 60 percent of the ballparks in the division.

Today is historic. For the first time in history, an international court will issue a verdict in the war crimes trial of a head of state.
The defendant, Charles Taylor, 64, is the former president of Liberia. Once an African "strong man" wielding immense power, he has spent the last 3 1/2 years in a courtroom in The Hague, surrounded by United Nations guards, listening to international prosecutors present evidence regarding his role in helping Sierra Leone's Revolutionary United Front wage a bloody campaign during a 10-year civil war that claimed nearly 120,000 lives.
Mr. Taylor is not the first head of state to be dragged before an international tribunal to be tried for war crimes. To be fair, that happened in 2001, when Slobodan Milosevic, former president of Yugoslavia, was brought to justice at the U.N. war crimes tribunal in The Hague. Sadly, his death (brought on, in part, by his own actions) months before the end of his trial, helped him escape the judgment of a three-judge panel that now awaits Mr. Taylor. Thus, in a way, the dreams of international justice and the end of impunity that began with Milosevic's arrest more than a decade ago are finally coming true in the case of Charles Taylor.
The court this time is the Special Court for Sierra Leone. It is trying Mr. Taylor on 11 counts of war crimes, crimes against humanity and other violations of international law, including terrorism, rape, sexual slavery, and recruiting and using child soldiers. The charges stem from allegations that Mr. Taylor founded, funded and supported the Revolutionary United Front, a rebel army responsible for mass atrocities in neighboring Sierra Leone - including reports of Mr. Taylor's fighters stringing human intestines across roads, removing fetuses from women's wombs, hacking off appendages and practicing cannibalism.
As the world learned during the trial, Mr. Taylor funded this bloodshed, in part, by plundering state resources and trading in "blood diamonds" - including those he allegedly gave to former supermodel Naomi Campbell in 1997, at a dinner hosted by then-South African President Nelson Mandela.
While some 94 witnesses are said to have taken the stand in the prosecution's cases against Mr. Taylor, likely the most famous were those that testified to the Taylor-Campbell "blood diamond" affair.
According to actress Mia Farrow, following a dinner discussion between Mr. Taylor and Miss Campbell, the British model was given "blood diamonds" by associates of Mr. Taylor. Should this be proven, it will stand as one more example of the proposition that those who are willing to slaughter thousands of innocents are also willing to steal millions in assets, as Mr. Taylor purportedly did during the conflicts in Liberia and Sierra Leone.
Sadly, it seems that the link between war crimes and economic crimes is that one leads to the other. Without money from "blood diamonds" and other natural resources, Mr. Taylor was limited in what he was able to accomplish. But with supporters, business associates and friends in multiple countries and global financial centers willing to look the other way, Mr. Taylor's particular brand of evil was able to flourish not just via warfare, but also through financial transactions throughout the world.
It is because of the global nature of such grand corruption that Robert Zoellick, president of the World Bank, and Ban Ki-moon, secretary-general of the United Nations, launched the Stolen Asset Recovery Initiative. By assisting governments in their efforts to recover the proceeds of grand corruption, the initiative serves as one more element in the fight against impunity, as it helps ensure there are no safe havens for stolen assets. Thus, while tribunals such as the Special Court for Sierra Leone are important for holding perpetrators of war crimes responsible for their actions, recovering stolen assets is another important means of targeting those who act as financial enablers, thereby helping end the impunity for such crimes.
In a world plagued by injustice, ending the impunity so often associated with crimes perpetrated by heads of state is no small feat. Thus, the mere fact that Mr. Taylor was arrested and tried is a victory in itself. But the victories today do not end there.
Led by a forward-looking president, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Liberia has gone a step beyond the "new" standard of international justice - prosecuting the head of state - and has chosen to go after his stolen assets as well. In doing so, she is helping establish a whole new standard of international justice and the fight against impunity, one that targets the person - and the wallet - and one that hopefully, with time, will lead to the end of the impunity as we know it.

GAZA STRIP - In response to Kassam rockets and a mortar shell fired on southern Israel by Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, Israel Air Force jets targeted Hamas smuggling tunnels along the border with Egypt on Tuesday night.
The IDF confirmed the air strikes, which destroyed several arms smuggling tunnels.
Two people were killed and six wounded in the air strike, according to Palestinian sources.
One Kassam rocket exploded in a field in Kibbutz Zikkim, just south of the coastal city of Ashkelon, causing no injuries or damage.
Since the beginning of the year, Gaza-based Palestinians have fired some 720 rockets, mortar shells and Grad missiles (Katyushas) into southern Israel.
Meanwhile, an Israeli driver was lightly injured in a drive-by shooting near Shiloh in the Binyamin Regional Council north of Jerusalem on Tuesday afternoon.
In a separate incident, Arab residents threw rocks at an Israeli bus traveling on the Gush Etzion road near Hevron.
Arabs also threw firebombs at Israeli cars near the Gush Etzion tunnels, caused minor damage to one vehicle.
Overnight Tuesday, IDF troops arrested 14 Palestinians in the West Bank (Judea and Samaria) suspected of terror-related activities. The men were taken in for questioning.

Gopher Alum Named Minnesota Twins Bench Coach
Oct. 22, 2012
Minnesota baseball alum and New Ulm, Minn., native Terry Steinbach has been named the Minnesota Twins bench coach, announced today by the organization. Steinbach, who held a 14-year Major League Baseball career, was a Gopher standout prior to his professional career.
One of three Steinbach brothers to play for the U of M, Terry lettered with the Gophers from 1981-83. In his tenure, Steinbach was a two-time first team All-Big Ten selection in 1982-83. Named the Big Ten Tournament's Most Valuable Player in 1982, Steinbach guided the Gophers to a Big Ten title, the first under head coach John Anderson. In his final season with the Gophers, Steinbach was also named the Big Ten Player of the Year in 1983.
Following his Gopher career, Steinbach was drafted in the ninth round by the Oakland Athletics in 1983. He made his professional debut on Sept. 12, 1986 and played until his retirement on Oct. 1 1999, as he played his final three seasons with the Minnesota Twins. During his professional career, Steinbach had 745 runs batted in, 162 home runs for a .271 career batting average. A three-time All-Star selection, Steinbach was also the All Star Game MVP in 1988. He helped the A's to three-straight American League pennants (1988-1990) as well as a member of the World Series championship team in 1989.

These Two Reality Stars May Be Hooking Up (Or Not)
And The Sexiest Music Videos Are...

What's hotter than your favorite music artist, model or actress shaking her booty, or pelvis for that matter, in a music video? We compiled a list of some of the sexiest music videos that get our pulses pumping and thumping:
Jennifer Lopez
, "I'm Glad" (2003)
Video Concept
: An homage to the 1983 film
, only with lots more junk in the trunk.
Okay, I admit it. I'm a huge fan of "Flashdance," and I watch it each and every time I come across it. She's "just a steel town girl on a Saturday night," welding by day and moonlighting as an artistic stripper, and I'm sucked into that stupid premise every time, not because it's a good story but because it's such a visually appealing film.
The film gave us so many classic scenes, and this music video mines it for all its worth, making use of the the water dumping part, the sweatshirt scene (only J. Lo doesn't take her bra off underneath it), and culminating with the famous dance audition. The scene I wish they had used was the one where she's wearing the sleeveless tuxedo thing and doing naughty things to shrimps with her tongue, but that's okay.
I noticed a few things when I revisited "I'm Glad." First off, she can really dance, whereas
Jennifer Beals
needed a stunt devil dancer. Second, she is a damn knock out. There are some singers that are sexy in their own ways, but they don't come a whole lot more straight-up pretty than Jennifer Lopez. Third, the song is terrible and not at all catchy. I couldn't tell you one line from it or hum one bar, but the video is tremendous. Is that why I never know what the song sounds like because I'm so transfixed by the video? No, it just blows that bad. Lastly, she really does have a lot of ass, but it works for her. No other woman could pull off having such a disproportionately large keister. Kudos to Ms. Lopez for doing "Flashdance" proud, having that famous rump, and now she can be happy to know that she's made the fifth sexiest video of all time, according to some idiot in Chicago.
Billy Idol
, "Cradle of Love" (1991)
Video Concept
: A potentially underage neighbor comes by a stuffy nerd's apartment to play her Billy Idol tape, and the sexiness happens.
So, this young lady comes by your apartment to play her Billy Idol tape on your fine stereo equipment and parade around in her undies. What do you say? 'Hell yes,' if you're this guy or any other red blooded, heterosexual man. This time I noticed something that might change your mind and explain why he seems so scared the whole time. This gal looks really young, and she says that her mom lives down the hall. Curious...
She instantly makes herself at home, literally kicking off her shoes right into the guy's aquarium. She then helps herself to a bottle of his wine, goes into his bedroom, stands up on his bed, and turns on "
The Adventures of Ford Fairlane
," the
Andrew Dice Clay
film that contains this song on its soundtrack. Would it discount all of my opinions on this site and others if I were to tell you that I kind of like that movie? Let's just forget I mentioned that and move on. Anyway, this chick seems really turned on by nothing in particular and wants nothing to do with the tenant of the apartment, that is until the end of the video where she crawls towards him like a cat, grabs him by his tie, and passionately kisses him. I wasn't sure if I wanted to include this one, but the tie-grabbing move really pushed it over the edge for me.
, "La Tortura" (2005)
Video Concept
: A voyeur, some onions, and lots of booty shaking.
I knew there was going to be a Shakira song on this list because she's so darned hot and can really work it when she dacnes, but I wasn't sure which video to go with until I came across a video for a Spanish song, "La Tortura." The video starts with a peeping tom watching Shakira strip in her apartment. Then we see her crying, only to learn that she's cutting some onions while barefoot and sitting Indian style, which seems dangerous. You're going to lose a toe that way, Shakira, and nobody likes toes in their tacos.
She seems to know that the guy is watching her because she does a great deal of writhing and undulating on the floor. The apartment scenes alternate with shots of her outside, dancing, with what appears to be tar or chocolate being dumped all over her mostly naked body. Do I really need to go on to convince you why this is a hot video? I mean, I know that it's not a song you likely recognize, and her singing is pretty awful, but you just have to see it to believe it.
, "Justify My Love" (1990)
Video Concept
: A woman wanders a hallway of some crazy hotel that has various sex acts going on in each and every room and has herself a ball.
I had no cable television when this song came out. I was the last person I knew to get cable, which is like torture to a kid, and I was insanely jealous of my friends who got to watch Fraggle Rock, You Can't Do That on Television, and, of course, the 24 hours of videos on MTV back when they lived up to their name (Music Television). When that glorious cable box finally arrived I was a freshman in high school. I instantaneously became the biggest MTV junkie the world has ever known, and it has created the music-obsessed nut that I am today. I was like the repressed Catholic School girl with overbearing parents who goes off to college to become the campus slut. I was a full-fledged, MTV whore, and I loved every minute of it.
Anyway, if I wanted to watch videos before my cable days, I had to wait until Friday for the seven videos they aired on Friday Night Videos on NBC or turn to channel 23 to watch the snowy reception of the Jukebox Network, which was a station where people would phone in video requests. It was there that I saw the much talked about Madonna video, "Justify My Love." Watching it 18 years later, it's still as hot as ever, and I'd even sit through the snowy version. At the start of the song she says "I want to kiss you in Paris," which is maybe the dumbest thing anyone ever said, but it's still hot when she says it because she's all hot and bothered in a hallway, wearing a trench coat and stockings and having what appears to be a spontaneous, unprovoked...
(Editor's note: Matt got all hot and steamy here, so we had to cut him off...)
Chris Isaak
, "Wicked Game" (1989)
Video Concept
: A ridiculously good-looking couple enjoys some kanoodling on the beach during a cloudy day.
Helena Christensen
has the coveted, well coveted for me anyway, dark hair and light colored, captivating eyes. She has great features from head to toe as a matter of fact, and the director does a good job at highlighting all of them in this sexy and stylistic video. Chris Isaak is a good looking dude too, so it's got something for the ladies. The song itself is sexy as hell, and it's the best song on the list. In fact, it's the only one I'd listen to without the benefit of seeing the video. The lyric, "I want to fall in love with you" is a good, subtle lyric. He doesn't say that he is falling in love with her but that he merely wants to. MTV used to be like the Holy Grail to me, but it has now has now become lost in a sea of God-awful shows that have nothing to do with music. However, they actually got something right when they selected this video as the sexiest of all time.
Honorable Mention:
Eric Prydz's
"Call on Me"
Video Concept
: Some guy manages to get into an aerobics class where he is the only male in a room full of oversexed women where the instructor wears a thong and writhes and gropes her way through leading her pupils in a series of very erotic but not so aerobic exercises. (According to YouTube, "This video or group may contain content that is inappropriate for some users." Thus, you must look it up yourself to see it.)

First public statement by Oracle about NetBeans? Or not?
Masoud Kalali just pointed me and other NBDT fellows to this document by Oracle, which contains some more details about the future of many Sun products after the buy is completed. One paragraph is relevant to NetBeans:
Oracle has a strong track record of demonstrating commitment to choice for Java developers. As such, NetBeans is expected to provide an additional open source option and complement to the two free tools Oracle already offers for enterprise Java development: Oracle JDeveloper and Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse. While Oracle JDeveloper remains OracleRelated Topics >>Blog Links >>

a bad coincidence?
by jjgarcia - 2009-10-28 09:36I really love Netbeans but since Forte times I've never seen versions so buggy as 6.7.1 and 6.8*, is that a very, very bad feeling or coincidence? :-/
And MySQL...
by mrmorris - 2009-10-28 06:55And MySQL got similar promise!. I enterpret this as if NetBeans will remain the community tool while JDeveloper will remain the enterprise tool. Of course, that raises the question, does this mean either 1) JDeveloper will get JavaFX support or 2) Oracle does not consider JavaFX important so will leave this to NetBeans and the community at large.
My point is that the document
by fabriziogiudici - 2009-10-28 06:57
My point is that the document adds nothing to the known and possibly is only a way to fill in the void that is taking more than expected because of the EU stuff.
I would love to know if
by fintler - 2009-10-28 06:04I would love to know if they're going to invest in it or not. We're currently holding meetings on the feasibility of moving one of our major products to Netbeans. It would take 2-3 years at a minimum. We can't just invest resources in the platform if there's a chance it might be choked off from lack of funding.
In my opinion, your decision
by fabriziogiudici - 2009-10-28 06:17In my opinion, your decision is not tightly bound to what Oracle will or won't do. NetBeans IDE and Platform will stay independently on what Oracle will do, as there are vibrant communities behind (and tons of customers using the Platform - look at the showcase) (*). It's more a matter of the community that will react in different ways to keep the work, and just being held before actuating a plan is unpleasant. (*) Yes, I understand that the _political_ response to a manager "it's a product supported / not supported by Sun/Oracle" can be important. But it depends on your management attitude. I mean, I don't think that companies developing huge codebases on the Platform are even thinking of moving to something else.
PS Another thing that
by fabriziogiudici - 2009-10-28 05:20
PS Another thing that prominent bloggers and journalists could do, in case they have access to Oracle's officials, is to put an explicit question about it: Will you invest in NetBeans? After all, if they can now say something explicit about OpenOffice and Solaris, it doesn't sound rude to ask about other products.

|One-time Padre great Jake Peavy, now with the White Sox, never cracked the no-hitter code. (Getty Images)
One week ago, Johan Santana fired strike three past David Freese, and one of baseball's quirkiest ongoing stories had a wrap: The New York Mets, one-time home of such pitching luminaries as Nolan Ryan, Tom Seaver, Jerry Koosman and Dwight Gooden, finally had their first no-hitter.
And with it, the spotlight swung to a franchise that could copyright and sell quirky the way one of its former owners once peddled Big Macs.
The Padres are on the clock.
Now in their 44th season, with 6,897 box scores on their resume, the Padres are the only team in the majors who've never had a pitcher throw a no-hitter.
|More on Padres
|Related links
This is a franchise that has produced four Cy Young winners: Randy Jones (1976), Gaylord Perry (1978), closer Mark Davis (1989) and Jake Peavy (2007).
This is a franchise that, since 2004, has played its home games in Petco Park -- which is to pitchers as a masseuse is to a bone-weary marathon runner.
And still ... nothing.
"It's amazing, but it's coincidental," manager Bud Black says. "You can probably find other bizarre things, maybe something like we've had three triples in one inning and the Pirates haven't."
Black, a former pitcher himself, was on the business end of Dave Steib's no-hitter for Toronto on Sept. 2, 1990, while pitching for the Indians. That remains the only no-hitter in Blue Jays history.
The Diamondbacks and Rays, who debuted in the majors in 1998, have had no-hitters. So have the Marlins and Rockies, who came into existence in 1993. And so has everyone else.
Except the Padres.
"I think the fact that they haven't had anyone hit for the cycle is even more crazy," says Giants third-base coach Tim Flannery, who played for the Padres from 1979-1989. "There have been some great hitters here. There have been some great pitchers here. It shows you something about this game.
"You can't assume anything. You can't expect anything. It is nuts. You're telling me Tony Gwynn never hit for the cycle?"
That's exactly what we're telling you.
But we'll tell you about that another day.
With Santana's no-hitter still generating e-mail regarding umpire Adrian Johnson's blown call on Carlos Beltran's liner, the fact that the Padres now are the only precinct in the majors checking in without a no-hitter is staggering.
Of course it's coincidental, as Black says.
But not completely.
This is a franchise that came within one strike of a no-no with Steve Arlin on the mound against the Phillies on July 18, 1972, when, jaw-droppingly, then-manager Don Zimmer played a hunch that Denny Doyle was going to drop a two-strike bunt with the Phillies trailing 5-0 and two out in the ninth.
So Zimmer signaled rookie third baseman Dave Roberts to move in on the grass ... and Doyle beat a pitch into the hard dirt in front of home place that, wouldn't you know it, bounced high over Roberts' head on its way into left field for a single.
Had Roberts been playing regular depth, he could have fielded the ball for the third out.
But that's not the story that has persevered over the decades.
This is a franchise that nearly had a no-no in its second season of existence ... until manager Preston Gomez infamously removed Clay Kirby for a pinch-hitter (Cito Gaston) in the eighth inning of a game in which Kirby was no-hitting the Mets on July 21, 1970.
Kirby had given up a run in the first inning on a walk, two steals and a ground ball. But the no-hitter was intact.
To this day, so is the legend.
Randy Jones, who was the starting and winning pitcher in the 1976 All-Star Game and today is one of the hosts of the club's post-game radio show, heard all about it while pitching for the Padres from 1973-1980.
"Anytime anybody came close to a no-hitter, even a one-hitter, here'd come the Clay Kirby no-hitter story," Jones says. "It was pretty funny."
Reliever Jack Baldschun immediately surrendered a Bud Harrelson single to lead off the ninth, and Kirby was left to fume. He complained to reporters afterward about Gomez's lack of faith in him.
"I remember that game very well," says Dave Garcia, 91, Gomez's first-base coach who went on to manage the California Angels (1977-1978) and Cleveland Indians (1979-1982). "I didn't like what Kirby said afterward. I mentioned to him, 'You walked the guy.'"
Kirby, who died of a heart attack in 1991 at the age of 43, told the Los Angeles Times on the 20th anniversary of the game that he was not bitter. But it clearly continued to gnaw at him.
"I'd like to look back and say a baseball I pitched is in the Hall of Fame," Kirby told the Times. "When I try to look back at the logic behind it, I don't see it. We were 20 or 30 games behind and we needed something to drum up interest in the ballclub. A no-hitter would have given the franchise a much bigger boost than one more victory."
Gomez, who died in 2009 at the age of 85, told the Times in the same article: "I always felt that when you're playing this game, you play to win. Sure, you want to see somebody get a no-hitter, but in this particular game, we were behind 1-0."
It was an unforgettable moment, one that, 42 years later, still provokes great debate.
"You have to pinch-hit there," Black says.
"He's hitting," Bruce Bochy, current Giants and former Padres manager, says of the pitcher. "I've got to let him hit."
Black notes that a manager today would "get grilled" for allowing the pitcher to hit in that situation. "The goal of the game is to win, not to throw a no-hitter," he says.
Bochy clarifies: The only time he would bat for the pitcher in that scenario is in a must-win game during the pennant race.
On July 21, 1970, the Padres were 38-58, 28 ½ games out, en route to a 99-loss season and a last-place finish in NL attendance.
"Part of my reasoning is," Bochy says, "I don't want him to have to live with that for who knows how long, 'Could I have thrown a no-hitter?'"
Kirby lived with it for another 21 years. The Padres have lived with it for 42.
Of course, there also is another prism through which to view it.
"How embarrassing would it be for your starting pitcher to throw a no-hitter and lose 1-0?" Jones says. "That might be more embarrassing than if we didn't have one."
With a seven-year head start on the Padres, the Mets, born in 1962, probably should have landed in the no-hit history books first.
Mets pitchers had thrown a whopping 35 one-hitters before Santana handcuffed the Cardinals.
San Diego, with 25 one-hitters, still awaits lightning to strike.
"I hope I see the son of a b---- when it finally happens," Jones says, chuckling. "That will really tick me off if I'm in Alaska fishing or something when someone finally throws one.
"That would really irritate me."

I was recently invited to study with an international group of artists in Italy. Working 'Plein Air' was an opportunity for me to immerse myself in the grandness of the light and the magnificence of the landscape. Then, back to the studio to translate it all into my language of abstract.
I try to capture a feeling, an experience in my work. I love texture and the idea of touching art – touching it either with your fingers or just your eyes and working out how it makes you feel or just enjoying it! Maybe deep down I want to be doing sculptures!
Sometimes in a really busy world, with all that's going on, it's a relief to be able to block it out and try to "see" the quiet. This is what design does for me. The shape and the truth of the line that makes it up.
You can use your imagination to fill in colour… or not.
This series of portraits is intended to capture… someone, anyone, you and me; but just as importantly, to reflect a feeling. These feelings, these snapshots in life are universal, be it the hand smack to the forehead, the disbelief of something forgotten, or the 'skeptic' waiting for the story you are about to be told…by a child, a partner.

Another Same-Sex Couple Marries Outside Philly Despite Ban
A suburban Philadelphia woman who tied the knot with her longtime partner Sunday with a county marriage license despite the commonwealth's ban on same-sex marriage said it was the day "that every committed couple waits for."
Dee Spagnuolo, 39, and Sasha Ballen, 38, were married at their Wynnewood home - with their three young children playing roles in the hastily arranged ceremony - after receiving a license from officials in Montgomery County.
"We're excited - we've been waiting for this day for a very long time," said Spagnuolo by phone as she sat in her kitchen with a friend doing her hair for the ceremony.
The ceremony was the latest to take place in the county where officials began issuing licenses last week - licenses that could be ruled invalid if officially challenged, although so far no such court challenges have been announced - in defiance of a 1996 state law defining marriage as between a man and a woman.
"It wasn't planned, it wasn't political - it was purely out of love," she said. "This is a day that every committed couple waits for."
Spagnuolo, who met Ballen 21 years ago during their first days at Bowdoin College said, she was grateful to the local officials who granted the license "for deciding that they wanted and needed to be on the right side of history."
The licenses issued Wednesday in Montgomery County are believed to be the first to same-sex couples in Pennsylvania, the only northeastern state without same-sex marriages or civil unions. State law also says same-sex marriages, even ones entered legally elsewhere, are void in Pennsylvania.

WMG: Sabrina: The Animated Series
Pi is actually a female pop star disguised as a boy who wanted to escape the constant adoration of his/her fans and live a peaceful life..
- Get ready for the weirdest theory you've ever heard. Okay so anyone can see that Pi is strange. He's a weird kid with long hair who is obsessed with the occult. Then in Sabrina's secret life he's just...gone well here's your explanation. Pi is a Merperson. Okay sounds crazy but think about it. His voice sounds odd almost like a surfer, he has long hair, he's obsessed with magic... Sounds a lot like Ariel (minus the voice though) Ariel wanted to know everything about the human world. Pi is a brainiac who studies hard and researches the occult because he wants to know everything, so he made a deal with the witches council to have legs for a while and study humans, but his time on land was limited so when he turned thirteen he had to return to the sea.
Pi is a girl and the one whom HARVEY has a crush on but Sabrina views her as a boy and we see her through Sabrina's eyes because she doesn't want another love rival like Gem.
- If you look at Pi's mannerisms he's very ladylike especially the way he sits and walks.
Pi is somehow or in some way acquainted with Mr Crocker and will someday become like him. (Or he IS him)
- Pi is from the Other World and that's why he doesn't show his eyes. They're buttons.
Hilda and Salem were lovers once when he was a human. From what we've seen Hilda really gets around and Salem would have wanted her at some point
Pi is actually a trans boy and who's gay AND he has a crush on Harvey... What's more Harvey (and Chloe) know everything and Harvey feels the same way about Pi. Too bad they won't tell the other one how they feel (for now)... Sabrina is out of the loop however and since we see things from her POV we supposedly know nothing as well. But we do.
- Or Pi could be a cis boy who is in touch with his feminine side... He's still could be gay for Harvey though.
Neither Sabrina or Gem actually have feelings for Harvey. It's just part of their rivalry. They both think the other one wants him to they fight. Actually they don't really care that much for him
- Well then Pi gets Harvey all for himself! Yay!
