When the first human beings inhabited Indiana is not known. Hundreds of sites used by primitive hunters, fishermen, and food gatherers before 1000 BC have been found in Indiana. Burial mounds of the Woodland culture (1000 BC to AD 900), when the bow and arrow appeared, have been located across the state. The next culture, called Mississippian and dating about AD 900 to 1500, is marked by gardens, ceramics, tools, weapons, trade, and social organization. It is well illustrated by remains of an extensive village on the north side of the Ohio River near Newburgh. The unidentified inhabitants are believed to have come up from the south about 1300, for reasons not known, and to have migrated back before 1500, again for unknown reasons.
The next Indian invaders, and the first to be seen by white men, were the Miami and Potawatomi tribes that drifted down the west side of Lake Michigan and turned across the northern sector of what is now Indiana after the middle of the 17th century. The Kickapoo and Wea tribes pushed into upper Indiana from northern Illinois. The southern two-thirds of the present state was a vast hunting ground, without villages.
The first European penetration was made in the 1670s by the French explorers Father Jacques Marquette and René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de la Salle. After the founding of Detroit in 1701, the Maumee-Wabash river route to the lower Ohio was discovered. At the portage between the two rivers, Jean Baptiste Bissot, Sieur de Vincennes, lived at Kekionga, the principal village of the Miami and the present site of Fort Wayne. The first French fort was built farther down the Wabash among the Wea, near modern Lafayette, in 1717. Three years later, Fort Miami was erected. Vincennes's son constructed another fort on the Wabash in 1732, at the site of the town later named for him.
English traders venturing down the Ohio River disputed the French trade monopoly, and as a result of the French and Indian War, French Canada was given up to the British in 1760. Indians under Chief Pontiac captured the two forts in northern Indiana, and the area was not securely in English hands until 1765. The pre-Revolutionary turbulence in the Atlantic seaboard colonies was hardly felt in Indiana, although the region did not escape the Revolutionary War itself. Colonel George Rogers Clark, acting for Virginia, captured Vincennes from a British garrison early in 1779 after a heroic march. Two years later, a detachment of 108 Pennsylvanians, passing down the Ohio to reinforce Clark, was surprised by a force of French Canadians and Indians under Mohawk Captain Joseph Brant; most of the Pennsylvanians were killed during the battle or after capture.
Following the Revolutionary War, the area northwest of the Ohio River was granted to the new nation; known as the Northwest Territory, it included present-day Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and part of Minnesota. The first US settlement in Indiana was made in 1784 on land opposite Louisville, Ky., granted to Clark's veterans by Virginia. (The new town, called Clarksville, still exists.) Americans also moved into Vincennes. Government was established by the Continental Congress under the Northwest Ordinance of 1787. Again, Indiana unrest endangered all settlements north of the Ohio, and the small US army, with headquarters at Cincinnati, met defeat at what is now Fort Wayne in 1790 and disaster in neighboring Ohio in 1791. General Anthony Wayne was put in command of an enlarged army and defeated the Indians in 1794 at Fallen Timbers (near Toledo, Ohio). British meddling was ended by Jay's treaty later the same year. Wayne then built a new fort—named for him—among the Miami.
In 1800, as Ohio prepared to enter the Union, the rest of the Northwest Territory was set off and called Indiana Territory, with its capital at Vincennes. There Elihu Stout established a newspaper, the Indiana Gazette, in 1804. After Michigan Territory was detached in 1805, and Illinois Territory in 1809, Indiana assumed its present boundaries. The federal census counted 24,520 people in Indiana in 1810, including a new Swiss colony on the Ohio, where settlers planted vineyards and made wine.
William Henry Harrison was appointed first governor and, with a secretary and three appointed judges, constituted the government of Indiana Territory. Under the Northwest Ordinance, when the population reached 5,000 adult males, it was allowed to elect an assembly and nominate candidates for an upper house. When the population totaled 60,000—as it did in 1815—the voters were allowed to write a state constitution and to apply for admission to the Union. A short constitution excluding slavery and recommending public schools was adopted and Indiana became the 19th state on 11 December 1816.
Meanwhile, Indiana had seen Governor Harrison lead US troops up the Wabash in 1811 and beat off an Indian attack at Tippecanoe. The War of 1812 took Harrison away from Indiana, and battles were fought in other theaters. Hoosiers suffered Indian raids, and two forts were besieged for a few days. After the war, new settlers began pouring into the state from the upper South and in fewer numbers from Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, and New England. A group of German Pietists under George Rapp settled Harmonie on the lower Wabash in 1815 and stayed 10 years before selling out to Robert Owen, a visionary with utopian dreams that failed at the village he renamed New Harmony. In 1816, Tom Lincoln brought his family from Kentucky, and his son Abe grew up in southern Indiana from age 7 to 21.
Unlike most other states, Indiana was settled from south to north. The inhabitants were called Hoosiers; the origin of the word is obscure, but the term may have come from an Anglo-Saxon word for hill dwellers. Central and northern Indiana were opened up as land was purchased from the Indians. The Potawatomi were forced to go west in 1838, and the Miami left in 1846. Commerce flowed south to the Ohio River in the form of corn, hogs, whiskey, and timber. Indianapolis was laid out as a planned city and centrally located capital in 1820, but 30 years passed before its population caught up to the size of Madison and New Albany on the Ohio.
An overambitious program of internal improvements (canals and roads) in the 1830s plunged the state into debts it could not pay. Railroads, privately financed, began to tie Indiana commercially with the East. The Irish came to dig canals and lay the rails, and Germans, many of them Catholics, came to do woodworking and farming. Levi Coffin, a Quaker who moved to Fountain City in 1826, opened a different kind of road, the Underground Railroad, to help escaping slaves from the South.
A new constitution in 1851 showed Jacksonian preferences for more elective offices, shorter terms, a one-term governorship, limited biennial legislative sessions, county government, obligatory common schools, and severe limits on state debt. But this constitution also prohibited blacks from entering the state.
Hoosiers showed considerable sympathy with the South in the 1850s, and there was considerable "copperhead" activity in the early 1860s. Nevertheless, Indiana remained staunchly in the Union under Governor Oliver P. Morton, sending some 200,000 soldiers to the Civil War. The state suffered no battles, but General John Hunt Morgan's Confederate cavalry raided the southeastern sector of Indiana in July 1863.
After the Civil War, small local industries expanded rapidly. The first nonfarm enterprises were gristmills, sawmills, meat-packing plants, distilleries and breweries, leatherworking shops, furniture factories, and steamboat and carriage makers. Wagons made by Studebaker in South Bend won fame during the war, as did Van Camp's canned pork and beans from Indianapolis. Discovery of natural gas in several northeastern counties in 1886, and the resultant low fuel prices, spurred the growth of glass factories. Elwood Haynes of Kokomo designed a one-cylinder horseless carriage in 1894 and drove it. As America became infatuated with the new autos, 375 Indiana factories started turning them out. A racetrack for testing cars was built outside Indianapolis in 1908, and the famous 500-mi (805-km) race on Memorial Day weekend began in 1911. Five years earlier, US Steel had constructed a steel plant at the south end of Lake Michigan. The town built by the company to house the workers was called Gary, and it grew rapidly with the help of the company and the onset of World War I. Oil refineries were developed in the same area, known as the Calumet region.
Of the millions of immigrants who flocked to the US from 1870 to 1914, very few settled in Indiana. The percentage of foreign-born residents declined from 9% in 1860 to 7% in 1880, all of them from northern Europe and over half from Germany. By 1920, the percentage was down to 5%, although some workers from southern and eastern Europe had gravitated to the industries of the Calumet.
Although many Hoosiers of German and Irish descent favored neutrality when World War I began, Indiana industries eventually boomed with war orders, and public sympathy swung heavily toward the Allies. Indiana furnished 118,000 men and women to the armed forces and suffered the loss of 3,370—a much smaller participation than in the Civil War, from a population more than twice the size.
After 1920, only about a dozen makes of cars were still being manufactured in Indiana, and those factories steadily lost out to the Big Three car makers in Detroit. The exception was Studebaker in South Bend, which grew to more than 23,000 employees during World War II. The company finally closed its doors in 1965. Auto parts continued to be a big business, however, along with steelmaking and oil refining in the Calumet region. Elsewhere there was manufacturing of machinery, farm implements, railway cars, furniture, and pharmaceuticals. Meat-packing, coal mining, and limestone quarrying continued to be important. With increasing industrialization, cities grew, particularly in the northern half of the state, and the number of farms diminished. The balance of rural and urban population, about even in 1920, tilted in favor of urban dwellers.
World War II had a greater impact on Indiana than did World War I. Most factories converted to production of war materials; 300 held defense orders in 1942. Du Pont built a huge powder plant near Charlestown. The slack in employment was taken up, women went into factories, more rural families moved to cities, and military training facilities were created. The enormous Jefferson Proving Ground tested ammunition and parachutes.
After the war, many locally small industries were taken over by national corporations, and their plants were expanded. By 1984, the largest employer in Indiana was General Motors, with 47,800 employees in six cities. Inland Steel, with 18,500 workers, was 2nd, followed by US Steel with 13,800 workers. Although the state's population in the mid-1980s was about two-thirds urban and one-third rural, agriculture retained much of its importance.
Nostalgia for an older, simpler, rural way of life pervades much Hoosier thinking. The shoreline area of industrial Gary notwithstanding (although it, too, was the subject of cleanups during the 1990s), Indiana stands high in conservation, owing to the vision of Richard Lieber, a state official who from 1933 to 1944 promoted the preservation of land for state parks and recreational areas as well as for state and federal forests.
The percentage of registered voters in Indiana who participate in elections generally exceeded the national average by a wide margin. The evenness of strength between the two major political parties during much of its history has frequently made Indiana a swing state, eagerly courted by Democrats and Republicans alike. In 1967, Democrat Richard Hatcher became one of the nation's first blacks to serve as head of a major city when he was elected mayor of Gary. In 1988 Indiana native son J. Danforth Quayle, then a US senator, was elected vice president of the United States on the Republican ticket with George Bush.
The state legislature was dominated by rural interests until reapportionment in 1966 gave urban counties more representation. Biennial sessions were then changed to annual, although they are still limited in duration. The direct primary for nomination of governor, lieutenant governor, and US senator was mandated in 1975.
In the early 1980s, Indiana, along with the other manufacturing-intensive states, suffered a recession, which was compounded by declining farm prices and high operating costs for farmers. Later in the decade the state's economy improved with the expansion of service industries, which continued through the 1990s. While the state's unemployment rate of 3% in 1999 was below the national average, median income and per capita income levels ranked in the mid-ranges nationally, owing in part to the state's agricultural and manufacturing character. Indiana's business leaders remained concerned in 2000 that Indiana had not attracted enough high-tech companies and that the state's economy was too reliant on the "old economy" manufacturing sector, causing many to worry about the consequences of a downturn. At the same time the Indianapolis area lost several high-profile corporate headquarters.
Educational reform based on increased funding played a prominent role in Indiana public policy in the 1990s. In early 2000 the state was the first in the nation to pass a so-called Ten Commandments law; the legislation allowed the Ten Commandments to be displayed in classrooms, where it would be taught as a historical document.
In October 1999, for the first time in its 183-year history, the state named a black man, Justice Robert D. Rucker, to the Indiana Supreme Court. Governor Frank O'Bannon's appointment won praises from the legal community.
As of January 2003, Indiana had a $300 million budget deficit—like more than half of the 50 states that year that had budget shortfalls. In the struggle to come up with a two-year budget, Republican legislators squared off against Democratic Governor O'Bannon on issues such as funding Medicaid and education.

TURKU, Finland (AP) - The United States opens the hockey world championships Saturday against Denmark, which is returning to the tournament for the first time since 1949 - when it lost to Canada 47-0.
The United States, which finished seventh last year, will be without any of the stars that helped the Americans win the 2002 Olympic silver medal in Salt Lake City last year.
Denmark, which earned a place in the 16-team tournament by winning the B pool last year, had a rough experience at the 1949 championships in Stockholm. The Danes gave up 13 goals to the Canadians in the first period, 16 in the second and 18 in the third.

Fans of 'The Young and the Restless' can add Eric Braeden to the list of actors speaking out on the dismissal of Michael Muhney (ex Adam).
Braeden spoke with Radaronline about his tumultuous relationship with his former co-star.
'I welcomed Michael Muhney when he came here. He is a great actor. We did have our differences, but for anyone to say that I had him fired is a lie. I have always thought he was a very good actor and told him so. Towards the end, Muhney and I did have our differences and had a shouting match, no question…. he wanted me off the show, if you want to know the truth. That is about as far as I will go. That is it. It was a campaign to get me off the show. It was Muhney who wanted to get me off the show and he expressed that to various people,' Braden told Radaronline's Jen Heger.
As for why Muhney was eager to see Braeden to leave the soap, the actor said,
'He wanted me off the show because he wanted to be head honcho. In his words, I was the old lion and he was the young lion. He wanted to push aside the old lion. That was in his words to me, at the very end. I welcomed that guy, as I said. (I told him), 'You are very good at what you do, keep your nose clean and stay out of everyone else's business and just do your job.'
A consummate professional, Eric Braeden forgave Michael Muhney for what happened.
'…The last day he was here, he apologized to me, you bet. He was contrite and apologized for several things that he had said and done. I said it's okay. The essence of what we learn as Christians is to forgive and one forgives. I have forgiven him, I always told him that openly,' Braeden shared.
Michael Muhney's final air date is January 30.

'The Young and the Restless' airs weekdays on Detroit's local CBS affiliate WWJ.

Can you please recommend a good chiropractor in Oakland/Berkeley who also has massage therapists as part of their practice. Great if they take Healthnet and United Healthcare insurance. Thanks.... anon
I'm the new mother of a 3-month old, and have been suffering from debilitating pain and numbness in my arms and hands. I'm looking for an Osteopathic Physician who can help me figure out if this is carpal tunnel or tendonitis, or a side effect of previous shoulder/neck issues. I live in Oakland, so someone nearby would be great, but I'm willing to drive for a good doctor (as long as parking isn't a major issue, since I'll have my baby with me). As an aside, I'm willing to try alternative therapies for recovery, but I'd like to have a physician diagnose the issue first. Aria
I am looking for a reputable and successful infant chiropractor. My baby is happy and thriving during the day, but can't get comfortable at night. He twists his upper body and lifts his head up and to one side. I have tried a total elimination diet for food allergies as well, it has helped with the ecezma, but not the sleeping. He still gets up 4-5 times a night. tt
Chiropractors are not physicians although they are legally allowed to identify themselves as ''Doctors.'' They may work wonders for people who voluntarily receive their care but babies are still developing. In fact, there may be some ethical and legal guidelines preventing chiropractors from treating an infant or toddler. Your baby may be colicky or simply on a normal schedule for his/her age. You should, at a minimum, speak to your pediatrician about your concerns. Anon
Can you recommend a very good chiropractor who also has in house Massage Therapists and bill insurance companies. Looking in the Oakland/Berkeley area. Thanks. need good chiropractor

A colleague is trying to find an Easy Bay chiropractor who does cranial vasomotor work.

I'm looking for a chiropractor who will really take the time to figure out what is going on in with my back and hips. I can barely move some days and I don't want to give up my swimming and dancing. Does anyone know of a reasonably priced (no insurance for this) but talented and knowledgeable chiropractor in Oakland? Dancer with back pain
I chose to switch to Dr. Alden from my prior chiropractor for two reasons. The first was her emphasis on neuromuscular retraining and her ability to consider my whole body (she tested me for food allergies and ended up recommending that I consider a detoxification diet because my system was overloading and making me allergic to everything). The second was because I wanted a chiropractor who could collaborate with a pilates instructor. Dr. Alden lived up to and exceeded my hopes and expectations. (Note: Many of the pilates instructors at the Working Body are dancers themselves, so you might eventually consider working with them, too, if your budget will allow.) Niki

Hello! My wife and I have twin 2 year olds that are keeping us mighty busy of late. Recently, my wife has been experiencing some significant lower back pain due to the excessive bending, lifting, etc. Would anyone have a recommendation for a great chiropractor/massage therapist in the Rockridge/Berkeley/College Ave areas? Any thoughts or input would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks. f
I've been dealing with chronic upper back and shoulder pain for 18 months and because of the type of work I do, have been unable to work. I've seen doctors at Kaiser who diagnose trigger points, so have had physical therapy, massage therapy, acupuncture, cortisone injections and a chiropractic work. The chiropractor has helped the most, but after almost 6 months of treatment, I still have pain. My chiropractor does not accept Kaiser, so I've been paying out-of- pocket and it has become cost prohibitive. I'm looking for a chiropractor in Berkeley, Albany or El Cerrito who accepts Kaiser, and who treats trigger points. Dr. Bivolcic @ IMPAC Health in Oakland has been recommended to me. Has anyone had experience in this office? Also, my doctor at Kaiser recommended Botox injections. Anyone had any success with this? Any recommendations would be appreciated. too much pain
I just moved to the Bay Area and am missing my wonderful chiropractor in Portland, OR. I'm looking for a chiropractor that uses the activator to make gentle adjustments, as well as combines this with electric stimulation of muscles and massage. After years of seeing various chiropractors, this trifecta of treatment seems to do the trick for my ailments. Lastly, I'm hoping to find someone who is covered by Anthem Blue Cross Plus. Thanks in advance for any recommendations you may have.

Hi. I am looking for a good chiropractor in the East Bay for my son and myself. We live in El Cerrito. We have been seeing someone in Marin, but with her schedule and ours, it is just not working out. My son and I were in a car accident about a year ago, and did not receive the best care unfortunately.. I am most concerned for him as he is 3 1/2 and I can see signs of discomfort, muscle tension etc... Any recommendations? We have Kaiser for our insurance.,.. but I am open to anything as I just want to help my son (and myself) out..=)..
Has anyone had experience with Dr. Serge Azzolino, a neurological chiropractor in SF? Am interested in taking my children to see him but would love to have some references. Does anyone know his work? thanks
You don't say the ages of your kids or why you want them to see a chiropractor. If you choose to go there, I would recommend seeing Dr. Azzolino over his associates. Dr. Azzolino has a better bedside manner and is really the reason to go to the office. Keep in mind that it is not a pediatric office and the energy is more high tech than warm and fuzzy. so far so good
Does anyone know a good chiropractor that is on the Health Net list? I need to see one and don't have the money for a private provider. Thanks for any references you can provide
I'm looking for a gentle, caring and knowledgeable chiropractor in Oakland/Berkeley who is concerned with muscle tissue as well as bone structure. I had an awesome chiropractor in Austin who would work the muscle with heat and massage -- sometimes acupuncture -- before doing any adjustments. He only did gentle adjustments and only when the muscles were ''ready''. He worked with patients to make sure they were making preventative efforts to keep their muscles (hence, bone structure) in good condition. If you know of a chiropractor who may have a similar philosophy in the area, please let me know. jb
I don't really know a better way to try and choose a chiropractor that is on my insurance. Has anyone had any experiences good or bad with any of these Berkeley area Chiropractors. [long list of names omitted]
I have never had a chiropractic adjustment before, however I am in my 33rd week of pregnancy and I can feel my hips are completely out of whack. I think its time for an adjustment. I'm looking for a good (gentle) chiropractor that can help me with my hips, lower back pain and some sciatic nerve stuff. Any recommendations? bg
I live in the Lake Merritt area. I'm looking for a chiropractor/body worker that doesn't simply lay me on the table and crack me like a peanut after asking me a few questions. Someone that will help me figure out what's wrong and how to fix it. I've had chronic back problems for way too long and I'm tired of ibuprofen/vicodin cures. heidski
Re: Child's minor digestive issues
For nutritional issues, tummy upsets etc. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Charlie Prins, (Chiropractor). Charlie does a lot of great work using applied kinesiology to test for various food /substance allergies. My whole family sees him and he's helped us tremendously around allergy issues. His office number is 526-6243. He's on Solano Avenue in Albany. Good luck, June
My husband is really suffering with sciatica for past several months. I am thinking he needs an excellent chiropractor or possibly Physical therapist or acupunturist (never used before). He is wary of chiropractors, but I think a talented and gentle one could possibly save him from this debilitating pain. We need someone in the East Bay. Thank you so much for your help.

Re: Berkeley chiropractor
If you can go as far as Oakland Grand Lake area, I can recommend David Rittinger, D.C. (510) 663-0573. I have used his services, and I think his fees are very reasonable and he provides excellent care. E.M.
Re: Alternative Treatment for Separated Shoulder
MY neighbor is a PT at Alta Bates and separated her shoulder a year ago. After trying everything else, she saw my chiropractor, Dr. Brian MacDoanld at the Berkeley Chiropractic Clinic, (510) 547-1222 He has helped me a lot with a chronic neck injury from a cycle crash. He saw my friend and has been treating her for 4 months now and she says she is 70% better, able to use her shoulder, gaining motion and strength. I would recommend Dr. MacDonald highly as he uses very gentle adjustments with specific exercise methods to help heal people and I trust him a lot. citiboi
Looking for an outstanding chiropractor in Berkeley or Oakland who focuses on structural adjustment rather than alternative medicine matt
Cynthia Santelli 466 Santa Clara Ave Oakland tel. 510-444-0188
I have recently discovered a wonderfully talented, compassionate and experienced Chiropractor: Ethan Feldman of Back in Action. I met Dr. Feldman in August when I was experiencing very unusual symptoms. I have always had a tricky back, but it was clear that something major was going on. He immediately recommended an MRI, looked at the pictures and sent me to a pysiatrist (Dr. Mechele Henry, also an amazing Dr. who works with Dr. Steven Isono), and they worked as a team to help me.
It is rare to find a chiropractor who is willing to work with traditional medical doctors, and I believe, even more rare to find someone who is so capable as well. Dr. Feldman correctly diagnosed a severely herniated disc. When our conventional treatments of Chiropractics and Cortizone epidurals (done by Dr. Henry) it was clear I would need surgery.
I was very scared and Dr. Feldman reassured me that it was not a lack of not being patient enough with conventional methods, but that my herniation was large enough to warrent a microdiscectomy. I never expected a chiropractor to support back surgery. But Feldman really means what he says: he treats the whole patient. Rather than being opinionated about one doctrine versus another, his view is that whatever is best for the patient, is what should happen. Bottom line: I had surgery and I am still seeing Dr. Feldman for adjustments and his staff for PT and massage as well as seeing Dr. Henry for follow up and other pain management. I am grateful to Back In Action for their care, compassion and truly profesional work. His adjustments are very gentle and they also specialize in Cranial Sacral work as well. They are locdated on the corner of Dwight Way and MLK. Their phone number is 510-843-2584
A grateful patient
I have miss placed the name of a chiropractor in Orinda or Moraga that specializes in feet. He was recommended to me and I am no longer in touch with the person that first gave me the recommendation. Anyone out there know who I am talking about or have a recommendation of someone who specifically specializes in feet? Thanks
Hi, I'm looking for a chiropractor who uses a drop table and activator, is knowledgeable about anatomy and sports injuries -- this is not a given -- and who is all around a great doctor, meaning you don't just feel like you walked in and randomly gave someone some money. Also no nutritional supplements or bizarre treatments, just plain old adjustments. Also (!), takes Blue Cross insurance? They can be located anywhere at all in the Bay Area. I've been to quite a few that are already posted, but would appreciate a new recommendation. Thanks in advance! anon
I'm looking for an experienced and reputable myotherapist in the area to help treat chronic headaches. Many years ago, I went to one in SF, and after 2 sessions, my frequent headaches were gone for over a year. They've been gradually coming back and now are quite frequent again. They are supposedly migraines, but don't respond well to medications. I've tried other options without benefit, and I'd like to try myotherapy again (the person I went to before retired). If you have been to a myotherapist that you can recommend, I'd really appreciate it. I'd like myotherapy specifically, and am also interested in recommendations for acupressure. Also, if you've been to North Bay Myotherapy and Fitness and can tell me what you thought of them, that would be great too. Please NO recommendations for chiropractors, massage therapists or other options right now. I'm sure there are good practitioners, but that's not what I'm looking for right now. Thanks! ct
Can anybody recommend a chiropractor that has experience with postpartum issues? My back is killing me due to breasfeeding, changing, and carrying twins! Any assistance is appreciated. Connie
Re: Whole health/person doctor?
I've sent both of my daughters, ages 5 and 4, to see Susan Feldman at Back in Action several times. They both have some misalignment and assymetry in their jaws and teeth. She is fantastic on a personal level with kids, and is great at introducing or working with kids on their ability to receive a session, since lying on a table and receiving an adult's very focused and powerful attention was unusual for them. At first she worked on them (one at a time of course) with me in the room with them, reading stories to them while she worked, later they went in for sessions without me. she has an incredible sensitivity (I've received a session from her myself) and the girls responded to the sessions immediately with a neck pain complaint resolved and improved moods. Time will tell with the oral issues. It's a great thing that the girls see that health care and taking care of oneself, proactively, is enjoyable, that it can happen through touch, and that it doesn't mean sterile dr.s offices, shots, etc... leah
I'm looking for a good chiropractor for a neck and back injury incurred in a car accident - I'm looking for someone gentle, who won't just crack my back as soon as I walk in the door. Also, I'm looking for a massage therapist who does deep tissue massage, as well as a good physical therapist. Your help is most appreciated!
I am in desperate need of a chiropractor in or very near Berkeley/Albany. I have Kaiser and have listed below the ones that would be covered. I've never been to a chiropractor before and am afraid of the pain, but my back pain in the middle of the night is bad enough that i can't out it off any longer! Thanks for any comments, positive or negative.
I used the BPN to find a reference to Ross Graham (look under BPN recommendations). It turned out that Dr. Graham has moved on to San Francisco and he reommended that I see Dr. Mark Wong ( http://www.drmarkwong.com ) who was still in the Piedmont/Grand Ave area.
Recovery was a long process that took close to 3.5 months with my visiting Dr. Wong three times a week. I ran out of coverage with my medical plan and Dr. Wong extended it with a petition.
From hopelessness that I felt at that time, I have now been able to resume visits to the gym. Dr. Wong kept adjusting/re- adjusting my lower bones until they eased the nerve and the pain went away. In interesting ways (using light and vibration) he'd re-stimulate the pain and then ease it out again.
I strongly recommend him. Partha
Melinda also does therapeutic massage, for those who don't like chiropractic. She's also an experienced yoga practitioner and instructor and will suggest stretching exercises that can help you keep your body strong. (And she teaches yoga to individuals...which is especially helpful for those of us with back/shoulder/(etc.) injuries who need to be cautious in how we stretch/exercise.)
I had a serious back injury that left me flat on my back for two months. Melinda's been hugely instrumental in my recovery so that I could finally get back to work as a hospital nurse. Alison
I would like a reccomendation for a healing center or
chiropractor who has good massage therapists to heal from a
recent auto accident- someone who takes insurance claims -the
better = already looked on list-thanks so much. Berkeley or
near please

I didn't see too many recent referals for chiropractors on the website. I am looking for someone who is experienced, and can provide relief. Someone who is familar with working with soft tissue would be even better. I've had chiropractors who use methods that are more gentle, but I don't really feel better afterwards. I have many kinks in my neck and scapula area, causing me to be regularly uncomfortable and tired. Also, lately, the lower back pain I had during pregnancy has returned. My bab y is now 9 months old. It would be ideally in Oakland Lakeshore/Grand area, or Montclair. However, I am open to more locations given a very enthusiastic recommendation. thank you sooo much. all wound up

I am looking for a chiropractor and osteopath in or near Berkeley who works mainly with adults. My main problems are my knee and shoulder. It would also be helpful to know whether these treatments have worked for those with knee problems.
I have Healthnet ASHP Chiropractic/Acupuncture coverage Does anyone have a clue how to navigate this process? My dependents and I are supposed to have 20 visits each per year (combined chiro and acupuncture). I would prefer Oakland or Berkeley but I would travel (if allowed) for someone really good. I would also like a recommendation for an excellent Dr. of Chiropractic that participates in this. My most recent Chiropractor (Dr. Feldman) was really good but I did not have medical pymts coverage on my auto insurance and my services already exceed the amount he can cover w/out me paying (which I can't afford right now. My back is aching! Can someone help me find a covered Chiropractor so I can complete my course of treatment??
As far as treatment goes, she has given me simple exercises to do at home so that I am better able to hold my adjustments. She is willing to take a gentle chiropractic approach if you prefer. In my expererience, it is a somewhat slow process to recovery depending on the extent of your injuries, but the decrease in pain and my improved posture are both noticeable. Good luck!

Re: Chiropractor in Walnut Creek, Pleasant Hill, Danville or San Ramon
Hello... I must tell you about Dr. Jeffrey Johnson. He is a chiropractic neurologist and works in a way not typical of your garden variety chiro.
After a long and troubling summer seeing neurologists, physical therapists, acupuncturists, physiatrists, having 3 MRIs, 2 ultrasounds etc., my internist finally referred me to Jeff.
After the 2nd appointment I left in tears...I was at least 80% improved! He has a very unusual approach. I was never once 'adjusted'. He does a complete examination to determine the problem and then designs an action plan that he discusses with you.
After seeing him for appx. 3 months I am pain free and grateful! I have referred probably a dozen friends and all of them RAVE about him. We each had different symptoms, and he has been able to help each of us. I urge you to contact him. I promise you, you won't be sorry!! Please tell him Karen sent you!!

I am looking for a female physical therapist (or, possibly, certified massage therapist) who is experienced (with advanced training) in myofascial release technique. I am hoping to alleviate ongoing S-I joint pain that has not responded to standard exercise-based P.T. Ideally, in or near Berkeley, and ideally, accepts insurance (I can get my M.D. to refer). anon.
Re: Chiropractors covered on my health plan
RE: Dr. Anfang--I really recommend her! My husband has gone to her for years, and when I had a bad injury last winter, I sought her help. She knew exactly what the problem was (SI joint) and what to do to fix the injury. I've been seeing her every 3 weeks for ''maintenance'' since. Christine
Can anyone recommend a low-cost chiropractor or chiropractic clinic? My nanny is having terrible back problems but cannot afford a full-priced chiropractor. Martha
I am looking for a chiropractor in the Piedmont Ave, Grand Ave area, preferably one with Saturday or evening hours, but I'm flexible. Any suggestions? I have consulted the website already and most of the posts do not meet my need or the chiropractor is no longer in practice. Cynthia

I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience with Chiropractor Richard Richman of Glenview Holistic Chiropractic. I am looking for a chiropractor who will deal with multiple issues that seem to be accumulating over time. I have had problems with my back for many years and have seen a few chiropractors off and on. I've also noticed lately that I'm beginning to have problems with my knees. I want to see someone who can do more than just the standard adjustment and who might be able to offer a more long-term and holistic solution. I've looked at his website and it seems to be what I'm looking for. I just want to make sure he is effective. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Nancy
I just joined Health Net and am trying to locate a chiropractor for my very tempermental neck. Does anyone have any experience with any of the following Chiropractors? Many thanks, KJM
I am looking for a chiropractor in the Bay Area who specializes in the Activator Method (my mother calls this the staple gun technique) and who does not do manual corrections. Expertise in applied kinesiology and so-called ''muscle testing'' is an even bigger plus, as the combination of these techniques I found to be very powerful with a doctor in Boston. I have so far not been able to find anyone here in the Bay Area combining these techniques, but it's what I need to keep my hips and neck adjusted and happy. anon
Can anyone recommend a pediatric chiropractor? I am a Kaiser member.
I can highly reccommend Amor Adams in Oakland (Broadway @17th) She
is wonderful, very gentle and not at all pushy. She has done
wonders for me, before during and after pregnancy for a variety
of back problems. My husband is a complete convert to the
wonders of a good chiropractor. She also specializes in sports
injuries and rehabilitation, though I have never seen her for
this. Her number is (510) 547-6623.

I searched the archives but could not find recommendations for chiropractors for babies (only for children, with no mention of less than 6 month olds). Has anyone a recomendation for a chiro who has strong experience working with babies (new borns/infants) who have had difficult births? My child was delivered via forceps after a long labor (and after several attempts at a vacum first). I know in England it is quite common to use chiros on babies, but haven't been able to find anyone here with such experience. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Many Thanks! Kim
If I may give my personal opinion....I was a chiropractic patient when I was 3 months old (I'll be 50 in January).I had a digestive problem that our chiropractor ''magically'' fixed within the first few visits. We always went to ''Dr. Eddie'' instead of the MD's when we were sick as kids. There are so many wonderful and effective alternatives to western medicine these days for solving health issues for young and older alike. I'm always so relieved and glad to hear that more and more parents are choosing non western methods for their families; Not that there is not an important place for western medicine!We have been very grateful to be treated at the Kaiser emergency room many times over the years. I think though that as people become educated in preventive and alternative care, medications and procedures that are perhaps overused and abused will become a thing of the past. I'd better stop here before I further put my foot in my mouth. Best of luck in finding the right person for your infant. June
My only doubt about Corwin is that he had me come in for my 6 Hill Physicians-approved appointments and then suddenly pronounced me cured of back trouble when I had run out of appointments. I was certainly better at that point, but I think the rest of my pregnancy could have been MUCH more comfortable if I had had some continuing care...was this Corwin's fault or the insurance industry's? I really don't know. All I know is that he suddenly seemed to think I was fine when he couldn't get reimbursed for my care anymore and although I knew I needed more help.
I have heard similar stories about him from people going to him with non-pregnancy related chiropractic needs. Lea
Can anyone recommend a good Chiropractor for children? I am not even sure if this is the route to go, but my seven-year-old daughter is constantly stretching and arching her back. When I ask her about it she says it feels stiff. She has had a couple of falls in the recent past from swings and slides and I'm quite concerned. Has anyone experience with Dr. Rueben Ziegler in Oakland? Thanks, Naomi
Ethan is a very sweet and gentle guy, great wtih kids and a great and eaxperienced chiropractor. He sees both of my boys. My 10 year old, just occasionally for maintenance. My 6 year old more regularly for scoliosis and "growing pains". He will take time to make children feel comfortable and make the whole adjustment seem like a fun game if the child is anxious or afraid. He listens to what you have to say and never seems rushed to get on to the next patient. Whenever my kids get sick they say "I want to go see Dr. Ethan"....
He has massage therpists on staff, a Feldenkreis practitioner, exercise therapist, Craneo-Sacral Therapist (his wife, Susan). Dr. Bruce Rizzo is another chiropractor in Ethan's practice. Bruce also does something called "Active Release Techniques" which is a deep technique releasing strain in the muscle tissue as the muscle is in movement. Kind of hard to explain, but it's really great. The number at Back in Action is 843-2584. Good luck. It's hard to decide who is the best person for you. June
In response to the inquiry, Dr. Peymani is no longer on Solano Ave. She has opened her own office as Emeryville Chiropractic, right across from the Emeryville railroad station, and she is a wonderful chiropractor. I can't say enough good things about my family's experiences with her. I don't know if your insurance will work OK in her new practice but give her a call at 655-5540 to check it out. Enjoy! Barbara
I highly recommend Dr. Sandra Waggener, 526-2567, on Sante Fe just off of Solono Ave. Prior to becoming a chiropractor several years ago Dr. Waggener was a massage therapist so she really works the muscles as well as the bones. There have been many a day when I walked into her office thinking I'd never walk without pain again and presto I'm back on the hiking trail. She's got my vote. Good Luck, CorViele (2001)
Hi! I wonder if anyone have experience from Eric C. Smith and the DRS system, a non-surgeal method said to repair damaged discs? I would be grateful if anyone would share information about this. Can he be recomended? Mikael
This is in response to the person asking about Eric Smith, chiropractor. I was a patient of his over a several month period and was very unhappy with his style. I felt he did not at all listen to me. Every time I went in I told him that what he was doing was not helping and would he try something else. He spent the whole time telling me how I should raise my young daughter and continued to do the same 3 or 4 manipulations. He was very affordable at the time, $25 a visit, and I kept thinking that he would hear my words and try a different manipulation but he never did. My husband visited him as well and his opinion was that Eric Smith thought every ailment had the same solution
Re: San Francisco Chiropractors
I know of an EXCELLENT chiropractic neurologist in San Francisco. He is the best of the best and was Neurologist of the year in California when I was working in his office. If you call and let the office know that you are a new patient and you need to consult with the doctor before setting up an appointment, he will talk to extensively about his field and whether he can assist you or not. He's name is Sergio Azzolino. He is on Union sTreet in the Marina District. The number to Azzolino Chiropractic Neurology is (415) 563-3800. Good Luck! Newsha (2001)
I went to Dyanna Anfang for about 6 months. She is very nice....but after going for 6 months, and not seeing any real improvement, and the same things done to me week after week, I got frustrated and went to a physical therapist who seemed to help me more.
I am looking for a chiropractor that is termed a "force adjuster" and uses a hydraulic table that you step onto and then it lowers you into the horizontal position and has levers that release during the adjustment. I have severe lower back pain and at times can barely (and sometimes can't) walk. I've tried a couple chiropractors in Berkeley but they are not able to get the alignment I have had with a previous chiropractor. With an 11 month old you can image this is becoming unmanageable. I begin physical therapy tomorrow, but I really think I need a good adjustment in addition. I have a great chiropractor in Seattle that used this method and table and he always gave me immediate relief I'm trying to avoid flying up there for treatment. Erin
After a number of rounds of a-biotics, my daughter was treated by my
chiropractor when she had an ear infection once (maybe twice). It REALLY
helped! She not only massaged behind the ears, but did a bit of *gentle* work
on her neck. This made the difference for us. The pain relief was almost
immediate. In general, she is great with babies/kids (has two young children
herself) and I can highly recommend her.
Her name is Dr. Dyanna Anfang, and she is on Channing Way at Ellsworth, phone
549-9080. Ann
Good luck to your friend!

text: Yes, believe it or not but the Dandy Dinmont is named after a fictional character in Sir Walter Scott's novel Guy Mannering. They were originally bred for the same purpose as most other terriers, to hunt down vermin. They excel at it, especially catching mice. Now, they are much sought after for companion dogs. Today's Dandy Dinmont makes an excellent family dog. They do ok with older children that are well behaved. They're very kindly, affectionate, lively dogs that have an independent streak a mile-wide! They're very intelligent and can be trained easier than some other terriers, although they can be stubborn so consistence is necessary to drive home the lessons. They're loyal to their family and make a good watchdog. Dandy Dinmont's are an extremely rare breed, and there is much concern that they will become extinct before too long. The Dandy is longer than he is tall, and they are a fairly healthy breed. If they're allowed to become overweight they can have back problems when they're older. Dandy's do not need a ton of exercise and will do ok in an apartment if they get regular walks. They should never be allowed off-leash unless they're contained in a fence because they love chasing cats and squirrels, and even the best trained Dandy will take off in hot pursuit! Although Dandy Dinmonts shed very little they do require brushing every other day, and professional grooming is recommended every 4-6 weeks. If you would like more information about this great little breed, you can visit American Kennel Club at www.akc.org. If you would like information on adopting a Dandy Dinmont in dire need of a loving family, you can visit www.clubs.akc.org/ddtca/finding/rescue.htm or PetFinder.com.

As I arrived at Detroit's Ford Field to participate in TheCall—a summons to prayer, fasting, repentance and sacrificial worship that began at 6 p.m. Friday and ran for 24 hours—I passed a nearby park where protesters set up an "Occupy Detroit" camp.
As we parked the car, we could see about 35 men, most of them black, singing "God Loves Everyone" to the tune of "We Shall Overcome" and marching with a police escort toward Ford Field.
I didn't wait to hear what they may have said or talk with any of them. I was too eager to join the prayer service inside. In fact, despite the national headlines over the Wall Street protests, no one inside seemed to notice the occupiers were there. The crowd of about 30,000 that gathered at Ford Field had a different purpose: praying for America. read more

Oscar Peterson: Wheatland
Oscar Peterson (piano)
Canadiana Suite (Japanese Import 9087)
Oscar Peterson (piano), Ray Brown (bass), Ed Thigpen (drums).
Composed by Oscar Peterson.
Recorded: New York, September 9, 1964
Rating: 98/100 (learn more)
When you listen to Oscar Peterson's eight brilliant compositions that comprise his Canadiana Suite, you may wonder why he wasn't a more prolific composer. It was no doubt his love of Canada that inspired him here, just as his father's career as a railway porter who traveled the length of that vast country guided the Suite's structure, crossing from East to West, vividly depicting unique locales and regions.
"Wheatland" is Peterson's view of Canada's breadbasket, and his finely crafted melody over a waltz rhythm presents a clear image of the majesty of giant wheat fields blowing in the wind, as viewed through the window of a passing train. As Peterson solos, with that perfect touch and his distinctive flowing lines, not a note wasted, one marvels at this trio's special rapport, with Brown's simple yet totally fitting bassline, and Thigpen's distinguished brushwork supporting the pianist with great sensitivity. Brown's long, lyrical solo is almost a separate composition in itself, structured so logically and alone worthy of repeated listens.
This was Peterson's second great trio, formed when Thigpen replaced Herb Ellis in 1959, and with Canadiana Suite they produced a masterpiece.

Oregon has lost 14 of its last 15 and is currently on a seven-game losing streak, tying the program's longest of the year...the Ducks previously lost seven in row from April 4-17, before snapping that stretch with a 5-3 victory at California on April 18...Oregon has yet win a Pac-10 series this year falling to Oregon State (2-1), Stanford (2-1), USC (3-0), California (2-1) and Washington (3-0).
Oregon freshman Danny Pulfer and Curtis Raulinaitis are currently boasting hot bats for the Ducks. Pulfer is currently on a team-best five-game hitting streak, batting .411 (7-for-17) during that stretch with one run scored, one RBI and two walks. Raulinaitis has hit safely in 13 of his last 16 starts. The starting left fielder is batting .359 (23-for-64) during that stretch with eight runs scored, five doubles, one triple and three RBIs. In Oregon's last nine games, Raulinaitis has had multiple hits on six occasions. The Sacramento, Calif., native currently leads the Ducks in batting (.306), slugging percentage (.381), on-base percentage (.369), hits (49), doubles (8) and total bases (61).
Saturday's 11 a.m. first pitch will be a duel between a pair of freshmen; Oregon left-hander Tyler Anderson and UCLA right-hander Trevor Bauer. Anderson (2-5) has made a Pac-10 leading 12 starts this season and currently sits with a 2-5 record and 5.11 ERA. The Las Vegas, Nev., native ranks second on the Oregon staff with 53 strikeouts, and on 19 occasions has caught an opponent looking at the third strike, ranking seventh in the Pac-10. Anderson's signature appearances this season include earning the win in the Ducks' season opening 5-3 victory at Saint Mary's (Feb. 20)...tossing eight shutout innings in Oregon's home opener against the defending College World Series champion Fresno State Bulldogs to set up the Ducks walk-off in the bottom of the ninth (Feb. 27)...throwing 7 and 2/3 innings of one-run baseball while striking out nine in the Ducks first Pac-10 victory at PK Park, a 2-1 win over Stanford (April 3)...and holding USC to two runs in seven innings of work on April 9, leaving the game with things tied at 2-2...striking out a career-high 12 vs. Portland on March 20.
Bauer leads UCLA with six wins, a 2.60 ERA and 69.1 innings pitched. Bauer moved from go-to relief pitcher to full-time starter midseason. As a starter, he is 4-0 (all against Pac-10 competition) with a 2.68 ERA and 40 strikeouts in 43 and 2/3 innings.
The Oregon and Oregon State baseball programs have scheduled a sixth game this season, the Civil War I-5 Iris Festival Classic, set for 6 p.m., Wednesday, May 20 at Volcanoes Stadium in Keizer.
Tickets are currently on sale, and are available through the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes box office, online at www.volcanoestickets.com, or by calling 503-390-2225.
The game will mark the sixth and final matchup between the teams this season. Oregon State took 2-of-3 in a Pacific-10 Conference series in late March. The clubs drew nearly 30,000 over two games at PGE Park in Portland.
Volcanoes Stadium is home to the Single-A Salem-Keizer Volcanoes, an affiliate of the San Francisco Giants. The park seats 4,252 and was built in 1997.
John Wallace's first home run of the season was good for four as the Oregon State starting center fielder crushed a grand slam and led No. 22 OSU to a 10-2 victory over Oregon...Wallace's grand slam was part of a six-run inning for Oregon State (25-11), as the Beavers turned a 2-2 tie into a 8-2 advantage in the bottom of the fifth...Oregon State starter Sam Gaviglio improved to 6-1 on the season, pitching five innings and holding Oregon to two runs on three hits while striking out six... Oregon is now 1-3 against Oregon State this season...Oregon returned to Coleman Field (at Goss Stadium) for the first time since 1981.
For just the second time this season and for the first time at PK Park, Oregon was swept in a weekend series by Pac-10 and Northwest rival Washington. The Ducks hit .227 against the Huskies and totaled five runs in the entire series, while the Huskies batted .260 and posted 19 runs against Oregon. The Oregon pitching staff surrendered six home runs during the three-game stand, while the Ducks had five extra-base hits with three doubles and two triples.
Oregon's exhilarating 3-2 comeback victory in the 10th inning over Oregon State on March 28 at PGE Park not only served as the Ducks first Pac-10 victory in 28 years, but was also the 500th Division I victory for head coach George Horton.
Junior right-hander Erik Stavert (4-3) has tossed back-to-back gems for Oregon. At Cal on April 18, Stavert pitched eight shutout innings before giving up a two-run homer in the ninth during the Ducks 5-3 victory. Last Saturday against Washington, he pitched his first complete game of the season, tossing another eight shutout innings before surrendering two unearned runs in the top of the ninth. Despite matching his career high with 10 strikeouts against the Huskies, the Ducks' offense couldn't assist Stavert as Oregon fell 2-0. On the year, Stavert leads the staff with a 2.63 ERA (7th Pac-10), 68.1 innings pitched (6th Pac-10), 60 strikeouts (8th Pac-10) and a .217 opponent batting average (10th Pac-10). In conference action, Stavert maintains a 2.06 ERA (3rd Pac-10) in five starts, striking out 32 (10th Pac-10) in 35 innings pitched, while holding opposing hitters to a .193 average (6th Pac-10). Last week, Real Baseball Intelligence, ranked Stavert as the 131st overall MLB Draft Prospect.
Of the Ducks 16 home runs this year, 10 belong to freshmen; KC Serna (3), Paul Eshleman (2), Antony Kreitz (2), John Adamson (1), Darrell Hunter (1) and Colby Sokol (1). Senior Caleb Tommasini and junior Jett Hart have two apiece, while sophomore Mitch Karraker and junior Eddy Rodriguez have also hit home runs.
Oregon senior center fielder Caleb Tommasini moved from the gridiron to the baseball diamond in 2009, and the Tenmile, Ore., native hasn't missed a step. His 15 stolen bases on the year leads the Ducks and ranks second in the Pac-10. The former defensive back turned outfielder is second for the Ducks in batting average (.283), while leading the team in runs scored (22), triples (3) and walks (14).
John Adamson's walk-off single in the bottom of the 10th during a 3-2 victory over Oregon State on March 28 was the third game to end in dramatic fashion this season. In addition to Adamson's game-winner scoring Caleb Tommasini against OSU, senior Andrew Schmidt's ninth-inning walk-off single gave the Ducks a historic 1-0 victory over the defending College World Series champion Fresno State Bulldogs on Feb. 27 - to christen PK Park. Freshman KC Serna has the honor of Oregon's second game-winning hit, coming in the bottom of the 13th inning in a 3-2 victory over Santa Clara on March 8.
Oregon began its modern era on Friday, Feb. 20 at Saint Mary's, and the 2009 Ducks began to log some firsts for the program in 28 years...freshman left-hander Tyler Anderson will go down in the record books with the first pitch, first strikeout and first win on the mound...Senior Caleb Tommasini led off the game with the first at-bat and hit of the season, as well as the first walk drawn and the first run scored...The first RBI and double of the new era belong to freshman shortstop KC Serna...The first defensive assist and putout belong to freshman Danny Pulfer and Mitch Karraker....Jett Hart's two-run triple in the fifth was the first triple of the modern era on Feb. 20, and in the first game of the Feb. 21 doubleheader, Hart slugged a two-run homer to left field in the fourth to go down in the record books...With the bases loaded in the bottom of the seventh on Feb. 20, junior left-hander Ryan Fleckenstein, junior catcher Eddy Rodriguez and freshman first baseman Darrell Hunter turned the first double play, 1-2-3, of 2009.
Oregon played its first home baseball game in 28 years on Friday, Feb. 27, christening PK Park and a sold out crown of 2,777 with a dramatic 1-0 victory over the defending College World Series champion Fresno State Bulldogs. A pitching duel between Oregon freshman left-hander Tyler Anderson and Fresno State's Holden Sprague left the game scoreless headed into the ninth. Oregon junior left-hander Ryan Fleckenstein retired the side in the ninth to set up the Ducks victory. Junior catcher Eddy Rodriguez started the rally in the bottom of the ninth with a two-out single, and junior Jett Hart continued with another single that advanced Rodriguez to third. Senior Andrew Schmidt, pinch-hitting, secured the victory with a walk-off single to score the game-winning run.
Trailing Fresno State by eight runs entering the ninth on March 1, redshirt freshman Antony Kreitz entered the game as a defensive replacement in right field. In the bottom of the inning, the Eugene native received his first at-bat of the season and promptly made history. Kreitz hit the first-ever Oregon home run out of PK Park over the left field wall.
The 2008-09 Oregon baseball recruiting class received two top-10 rankings during the fall. First, Collegiate Baseball's annual evaluation ranked the Ducks' recruiting class second in the nation, while Baseball America put Oregon's class at No. 10.
The 2008-09 class includes nine players that were taken in the 2008 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft, but chose to instead attend the UO.

Carney Lansford
- Position(s):
- Born:
- February 7, 1957
- Bats:
- Right
- Throws:
- Right
- Height:
- 6' 2"
- Weight:
- 195 lbs
- Major League Debut:
- 4-08-1978 with CAL
- Allstar Selections:
One of fewer than a dozen men to play in both the Little League World Series and the MLB World Series, Carney Lansford provided consistent hitting and solid defense to an Oakland A's team that dominated the American League from 1988 to 1990. Usually batting second in Oakland's lineup, behind either Rickey or Dave Henderson, and immediately before Jose Canseco and Mark McGwire, Lansford typically posted batting averages that approached the .300-mark. He also gave the team another threat on the base paths, stealing a career high 37 bases for Oakland's 1989 world championship ball club. An agile and sure-handed fielder as well, Lansford led American League third basemen in putouts twice, while also topping all players at his position in fielding percentage on five separate occasions.
Born in San Jose, California on February 7, 1957, Carney Ray Lansford played Little League ball for the Briarwood team from Santa Clara, California that lost in the finals of the 1969 Little League World Series to the Taiwanese squad from Taipei City. After graduating from Wilcox High School in Santa Clara, Lansford was selected by the California Angels in the third round of the 1975 amateur draft. Advancing quickly through California's minor league system, Lansford made his major league debut with the Angels on April 8, 1978, opening the season as the club's starting third baseman. The 21-year-old infielder appeared in 121 games over the course of the campaign, earning a third-place finish in the A.L. Rookie of the Year voting by batting .294, with eight homers, 52 RBIs, 63 runs scored, and 20 stolen bases.
The right-handed hitting Lansford improved upon his performance the following year, helping the Angels capture the A.L. West title by batting .287, hitting 19 home runs, driving in 79 runs, stealing another 20 bases, and establishing career highs with 114 runs scored and 188 hits. He also struck out an uncharacteristic 115 times, which represented something of an anomaly for him since his quick, compact swing enabled him to compile fewer than 70 strikeouts in all but one other season during his career. Doing an outstanding job in the field as well, Lansford committed only seven errors in his 157 games at the hot corner, leading all A.L. third basemen with a .983 fielding percentage in the process.
Lansford had another solid year for the Angels in 1980, hitting 15 homers, scoring 87 runs, and knocking in a career high 80 runs. However, his .261 batting average and relatively low .312 on-base percentage convinced the Angels to include him in a five-player trade they made with the Red Sox at season's end that netted them shortstop Rick Burleson and third baseman Butch Hobson.
Lansford flourished in Boston, leading the American League with a .336 batting average during the strike-shortened 1981 campaign. By winning the A.L. batting title, he became the first right-handed hitter to do so since Alex Johnson topped the junior circuit in hitting 11 years earlier. Although Lansford hit only four home runs despite playing his home games in a ballpark that featured Fenway Park's famous Green Monster in left field, he struck out just 28 times in 438 total plate appearances. His outstanding performance earned him a sixth-place finish in the league MVP balloting. Lansford followed that up by batting .301 in 1982, while also hitting 11 homers and knocking in 63 runs.
The arrival of Wade Boggs in Boston signaled the end of Lansford's time with the Red Sox, who traded the league's 1981 batting champion to Oakland for slugging outfielder Tony Armas prior to the start of the 1983 season. Despite missing extensive playing time due to injuries in both 1983 and 1985, Lansford had three straight solid years for the A's, posting batting averages in excess of .300 twice and finishing in double-digits in homers each season from 1983 to 1985. He had his two most productive years for the team in 1986 and 1987, hitting 19 home runs in each of those campaigns, while driving in 72 and 76 runs, respectively. He also posted batting averages of .284 and .289, combined to score a total of 169 runs, and established a new career high with 27 stolen bases in 1987.
The A's won three straight American League pennants from 1988 to 1990, with Lansford making key contributions to the success of the team. After batting .279, scoring 80 runs, stealing 29 bases, and making his only All-Star appearance in the first of those years, he finished second to Kirby Puckett in the A.L. batting race with a mark of .336 the following season. Lansford also scored 81 runs, stole a career-high 37 bases, and struck out only 25 times in more than 600 total plate appearances. He punctuated perhaps his finest all-around year by batting .455 and knocking in four runs against Toronto in the ALCS, before posting a mark of .438 and driving in another four runs during Oakland's four-game sweep of San Francisco in the World Series. Although Lansford's offensive production fell off dramatically in 1990, the 33-year-old third baseman still managed to bat .268, steal 16 bases, and place second among players at his position in fielding percentage.
After missing virtually all of 1991 with an injury, Lansford returned to Oakland in 1992 for one final season. He batted .262, knocked in 75 runs, and scored 65 others, before announcing his retirement at season's end. Lansford ended his career with 151 home runs, 874 runs batted in, 1,007 runs scored, 2,074 hits, a .290 batting average, and a .343 on-base percentage. He batted over .300 on five separate occasions, hit as many as 19 homers three times, scored more than 100 runs once, and stole more than 20 bases five times.
Following his playing career, Lansford remained away from the game for several years, before taking on the position of hitting coach for the San Francisco Giants in 2008. He continued to serve in that capacity until being relieved of his duties at the conclusion of the 2009 campaign. The Colorado Rockies subsequently hired him to be their hitting instructor for the 2011 season. Upon Lansford's assignment, Colorado manager Jim Tracy discussed the positive influence he anticipated the former third baseman having on his team: "I go back to the fact that I know what kind of player Carney Lansford was – and he was a big part of championship ball clubs ... He hit second and had Rickey Henderson leading off. He had Rickey getting on and stealing bases in front of him, and set up Jose Canseco and Mark McGwire. This guy has first-hand knowledge of what you need to do."
