Bacterial Acclimation and Adaptation to the Space Environment Conditions-A (BASE-A) - 08.05.15
The BASE-A investigation will study the effect of microgravity on bacteria and how bacteria adapts to the microgravity environment on ISS. The data provided by this investigation will give scientists valuable insight into how basic organisms adapt to new environments. This information could prove valuable when planning future long duration expeditions to the Moon and Mars. Science Results for Everyone
Bacteria are leading the way in adapting to living in space. Scientists looked at how bacteria cope and adapt to different conditions of space flight such as weightlessness, cosmic radiation, space electromagnetism, and space vibrations. Results show that growth, spontaneous mutation, and numbers of bacteria on the station behaved similarly to ground experiments. Some proteins involved in metabolism were more active in space, and it was demonstrated for the first time that low-dose space radiation can change the activity of some genes. Further studies on the effects of low-dose ionizing radiation on bacteria could assess how adaptation might affect space habitat contamination, crew health, waste recycling, and food production systems.

Experiment Description
Research Overview
- The BASE-A investigation will provide confirmation and analysis of previous observations on short duration mission in microgravity.
- The BASE-A investigation will allow the comparison of response of multiple bacteria under similar culturing conditions in space.
In the BASE-A (Bacterial Adaptation to Space Environments-A) experiment, the science team will study how bacteria cope and adapt to the different space flight environmental parameters (e.g. weightlessness, cosmic radiation, space electromagnetism, space vibrations). Based on these results, scientists will try to assess how such adaptations might influence their potential to contaminate and biodeteriorate the space habitat, their potential to endanger crew health, or their function in waste recycling or food production systems. In the BASE project, scientists will also study the physiology, gene expression, gene rearrangement and gene transfer of cultures of several model bacteria grown under microgravity and other space flight conditions.

Results/More Information
The bacteria used for MESSAGE and BASE experiments included R. rubrum S1H as MELiSSA bacterium and Cupriavidus metalidurans CH34 as an example of a bacterium adapted to a variety of harsh environments, including the clean rooms where satellites are built (Mergeay et al., 2009). Growth, spontaneous mutants and viable counts were similar to ground experiments. Proteomic data show limited effects of spaceflight conditions, especially for C. metallidurans, although some uncommon proteins involved in acetone metabolism, were found to be over-expressed in space. Transcriptomic data were mainly obtained for R. rubrum and provided information about the importance of experimental design and the effect of low doses of cosmic radiation. This effect was mainly revealed in the BASE-A spaceflight experiment where various over-expressed genes matched those found during ground tests of ISS radiation. Thus, for the first time studies showed a low dose of ionizing radiation (2 mGy) can induce a significant response at the transcriptomic level, although no change in cell viability was observed (Mastroleo, 2009). This experiment will surely stimulate further studies of effects of low-dose ionizing radiation in bacteria. These will be paramount for implementation of bioreactors in spaceflight and on planetary stations.

Finished scoreboard may differ slightly from above rendering.
DeKALB, Ill. -Northern Illinois will install a new scoreboard and audio system, and add ribbon boards on the east and west sides, at Huskie Stadium for the 2013 season, NIU officials announced Tuesday.
The improvements will significantly upgrade the fan experience at Huskie Stadium, home of the back-to-back Mid-American Conference Champion Northern Illinois Huskies and the 2013 Illinois High School Association state football championships.
NIU Head Coach Rod Carey said the improvements will make Huskie Stadium an even more exciting place to be in 2013.
"We are really excited about the scoreboards and audio system at Huskie Stadium," Carey said. "We already have one of the best home crowds in the MAC and a 21-game winning streak on Brigham Field, so I'm happy we're able to make these improvements to make game day even better for our fans."
The new Daktronics LED Video Display scoreboard will have an active area that measures 15.5 feet high and 39.5 feet wide, which is nearly double the width and slightly taller than the video display of the current board, which was installed in 2000. The display area can be programmed to provide different looks throughout the game - from game in progress information (score, down and distance, time outs, etc.) to full video display to sponsor and promotional messages. The game clock will be part of the permanent display at the top of the structure.
The scoreboard is a 15mm HD unit which uses a newer LED technology consistent with current industry standards for high definition video. The video display will be sharper with better color saturation and more detail visible in both graphics and video. Flanking the display area will be four static backlight panels - two across the top on the left and right and two in the lower quadrants on each side.
On the backside of the scoreboard, a permanent staircase and camera platform will replace the existing scaffolding, providing a much safer structure for staff, television crew members and opponents' from which to film the game. NIU will continue to use a robotic video coaching camera system with high definition-ready cameras in each end zone for practices.
Daktronics will also install the redesigned audio system which will greatly enhance the sound quality for all fans at Huskie Stadium. The new system will provide more dynamic sound quality to the East and West grandstands than the current sound system. Features of the audio system include new speakers, cabinets, drivers, audio boards and microphones which will result in improved clarity for both music and public address.
One of the most visible changes to the stadium for 2013 will be the addition of Daktronics LED Ribbon Fascia Boards on the east and west sides. The ribbon boards are 100 feet wide, stretching approximately between the 35-yard lines, providing 20mm HD graphics. Mounted on the existing structure, the ribbon boards are programmable for advertising and sponsor graphics, fan prompts and game-in-progress updates (scores, down, distance).
The scoreboard project also includes the construction of a HD Single Video Control Room in the Convocation Center, which will eventually control the scoreboards in both Huskie Stadium and in the Convocation Center through use of a fiber network. The control room will allow NIU Media Services personnel to better direct the HD production of the game, create new and exciting graphics and integrate information between all the scoreboards.
Construction on the project - both at Huskie Stadium and in the Convocation Center - will start this spring and the scoreboards, graphics and audio system will make their debut at NIU's 2013 football season home opener versus Eastern Illinois on Sept. 21.
Season tickets for NIU's 2013 home schedule are on sale now. The new Huskieland Plan, which includes a ticket to all five home games (sections A and G) and $50 in Doggie Dollars good for parking and/or concessions, is just $50. All remaining season ticket locations for the 2013 Huskie Stadium home slate are just $100 while NIU Alumni Association members, senior citizens (62+), youth (3-13), NIU Varsity Club (former letterwinners) members and faculty and staff can see every game for just $88. For tickets, call 815-753-1923 or log on to www.NIUHuskies.com/tickets for more information.

BESSEMER, Ala. - Taking to the lanes for the second to last tournament of the season, the Tulane bowling team visits the Holiday Bowl Fun Center for the Holiday Collegiate Classic this Friday, Saturday and Sunday hosted by Alabama A&M.
The Green Wave (14-43) will be one of nine schools at the ninth annual event. Tulane is coming off the Capital City Classic in Dover, Del., on Feb. 10-12 where they posted a 0-10 mark.
"I am excited to have the whole team back in action this weekend after a few rough weeks and months with illness and injury," Tulane head coach Hayley Beavis said. "Although the team has not practiced as much as I would have liked of late, I hope the time off has given them the opportunity to fully recover and to concentrate on their studies in order to be totally focused for this weekend."
Joining Tulane in the field are host Alabama A&M, Alabama State, Arkansas State, Southern, UAB, Central Missouri, Valparaiso and Vanderbilt.
"We are going to have an insight into a few more top teams this weekend that we have not seen in previous tournaments," Beavis added. "This will give the ladies an opportunity to watch a higher level of competition and to understand what needs to be achieved to step up to the next level with the teams bowling. As always the ladies will give it their best shot and I am looking forward to seeing how the ladies fair against some tough competition."
Competition begins Friday with five Baker format games, while Saturday will feature five traditional games. Sunday will be the championship bracket with the best of seven Baker format.
Tulane will close out the first season of competition March 16-18 at the Columbia 300 Music City Classic hosted by Vanderbilt in Nashville.

Lots of potential, yet a bit of frustration. Planning to volunteer to teach Zumba Gold February 15th, have learned that all participants will be in chairs or using a chair for balance, yet there might be a few who want to do more "dance", so it will be a stretch to meet everyone's hopes for exercise. Where I am to volunteer is quite nice, and yet I am feeling a bit oppressed that it is necessary to run a back ground check/criminal check on me and I am to complete an on-line orientation program which I have 2 more hours to "learn", having completed 4 hours so far...... Seems complicated to volunteer to teach something good, an exercise class for seniors........ All seems a bit unbalanced. I chose this facility because a fellow Zumba classmate works for part of it, but I am guessing that many would be the4 same...... I have a playlist worked up, but not too much enthusiasm at the moment to practice it.....
And the teaching of my own Saturday Zumba Fitness classes in March? The studio owner and I seem to be having "artistic differences". She has kindly let me lead from 3 to 5 dances each hour of the two weekly classes she is letting me attend for free, and I have been available to substitute twice last year (one class had two attend and one had none....). She is a skilled ballroom dancer and I took Zumba Fitness classes from her years ago, before becoming licensed myself. Though Zumba encourages us to face our students, she feels it is too confusing to the class, so I am to relearn to do the routines with my back to them. Though I am called on to lead certain dances, she leads them with me at the same time and, has just now told me to not do any new ones until she has learned them, as it is too confusing to the students about whom to watch.......??????? These are workable, but our phillosophies really are different when it comes to how to "Ditch the workout and join the party". Our warm up is specific rib cage isolation exercises, rather than warm up for doing the dances which incorporate the moves and the cool down is crunches, leg splits, bicycles and other activities which I do not think have anything to do with Zumba moves.....we are NOT in a competition for limberness, but it is supposed to be fun. We each have our own flavor. One main instruction is to feel the music and it is all supposed to be fun.....not work..... The dances themselves are the exercises toning and the aerobic fun part. Never at any Zumba function nor on any Zumba DVD have we done such repetitive exercises, which I associate with a workout. I do attend other Zumba Fitness classes and know how fun it can be, and I am trying to incorporate the "best" of each class in my own routines. Sounds like it is time to branch out and find my own class to do...... I am grateful for the opportunity I have had at this studio though and, even now, think that maybe I can still teach a class once a week.

Inglewood Bird Sanctuary
403-221-4519 | Website | Email
This city-owned natural area is found at the east end of 9th Avenue SE beside the Bow River, and has been home to more than 250 species of birds.
|Payment |
|Interac, MasterCard, Visa
|Neighbourhood |
|The park is open year round, dawn to dusk. Nature Centre Hours: May-September: 10AM – 5PM, October-April: Closed Mondays, Open Tuesday to Sunday 10AM – 4PM
Profile Last Updated: July 08, 2008
In the early days of the City of Calgary the Sanctuary lands were owned by Colonel James Walker, who built his estate on the site and coined the neighbourhood's name - Inglewood. Colonel Walker was a prominent citizen and leading conservationist of the time. Following his death, the property was controlled by various people, but passed into City ownership in 1970. Since that time the lands have been operated as a natural preserve, and an interpretive/educational centre has since been built on site. The place is one of peace and serenity inside the bustling city, and is considered by many to be the flagship of all local natural parks.
The Sanctuary
The Sanctuary comprises 32 hectares of land and has representative samples of various habitats, including aquatic, grasslands, riverine forest and shrublands. There are over two kilometers of well-maintained, level trails on the property, all of which are accessible by wheelchairs and strollers. No bicycles, rollerblades, or dogs are allowed entry to the park. The Sanctuary is home, either permanently or temporarily, to over 250 species of birds, with the majority of species observed during the spring and fall migrations. Mammals are also often spotted, including mule and white tail deer, weasels, foxes and coyotes. In addition to animals, the park supports over 300 species of plants.
Room Rental Available
The Nature Centre has a room available for rent to host events and meetings for up to about fifty people. The room rates are calculated by the hour, and it is available for daytime or evening events. Audio visual services are provided in the room, including a television, VCR, microphone and overhead and slide projectors. A coffee service and catering can be provided by arrangement at the time of booking. If you have an event that might be appropriate for this haven of calm and quiet, call for availability and rates.
Restrictions: Leave your pets, bicycles, roller blades and bird food at home
More info: For City of Calgary information dial 311
Admission: Admission to Sanctuary is free, but donations always gratefully accepted.
Wheelchair accessible: yes

The tour allows visitors to see the diverse face of farming in Chatham and provides educational and entertainment opportunities for all ages. Many will have products available for purchase. Please see this Chatham Farm Tour Map for addresses and locations.
It is going to be a really fun day!
For more information, please email email@example.com.
Hank the Tank was a former work mule purchased by Equine Advocates at New Holland (PA), one of the worst slaughter auctions in the country. There were 500 mules for sale that day and EA bought seven of them. Most of the others went for slaughter or were bought by other farmers for work. In July 2010, Hank was sent to Cornell Veterinary Hospital when he developed an ulcer in his left eye and they concluded that his eye had to be removed. The surgeon was so sorry to have to do this because Hank is such a gorgeous mule... Hank is still gorgeous even without his one eye. Hank is a really lovable mule who dearly appreciates lots of attention.

Feliciano Sabates dies after accidental shooting by juvenile in Palm Beach Gardens
Palm Beach Gardens police say a young man died in an accidental shooting after a group of young people were handling a firearm this weekend.
A 17-year-old male suspect is under arrest and charged with manslaughter by culpable negligence after the shooting on Saturday.
The shooting occurred on Pinella Circle in Palm Beach Gardens.
The victim was 18-year-old Feliciano Sabates of suburban Palm Beach Gardens.
Investigators say the suspect, Sabates and other juveniles and young adults were drinking and using drugs in the suspect's apartment, which is where the shooting took place.
According to a press release, the group had been handling a 9mm pistol and passing it around, including removing and inserting the magazine.
At one point, the suspect began pointing the weapon at his friends in the apartment.
That's when the firearm discharged, striking Sabates in the chest. He died at the scene.
After the shooting, police say friends of the victim and suspect removed the firearm from the apartment and hit it in some nearby bushes.
When investigators interviewed witnesses they admitted this and provided the location of the gun, which was recovered by officers.
All persons involved were cooperative and provided statements to the investigators, according to police.
The information and physical evidence was consistent that this was a careless act rather than an intentional act, resulting in the manslaughter by culpable negligence charge.
The suspect was booked into the Juvenile Assessment Center and the case will be referred to the State Attorney's Office.

Abigail Adjei
Name: Abigail Adjei
Major: Management
Graduation Year: 2013
Hometown: Accra, Ghana
HC: Congratulations on graduating, Abi! What are you going to miss the most about Bryant?
AA: Even though we complain and groan about how much work we have to do, we should be fortunate for living in a shielded environment where we don't have to worry about climbing the corporate ladder and paying rent. I know we hate all the work now, but one day I'm going to look back and say "I miss those days when someone just told me what to do, I did it, and then handed it in."
HC: Looking back, do you feel different now as opposed to when you were a freshman? If so, how?
AA: In all actuality I did not expect to know what career I wanted to pursue but knowing exactly what I want to do is so refreshing and exciting. I have a lot of confidence and a great network of professionals and friends that I can rely on!
HC: Any postgrad plans in store for you?
AA: I am going back to Ghana to work with my dad and finally getting the chance to regroup with charity workers I used to work with in high school.
HC: This interview wouldn't be complete without asking you about your amazing fashion sense! Where do you get your inspiration from? Can we steal your wardrobe?
AA: Aww that's so sweet! My fashion sense is inspired by my Ashanti (a region in Ghana) background and three Ashanti women in my life – my mom and my two older sisters. Till this day, young and old people still wear traditional vibrant Ashanti fabric. Unlike in America where you shop at retail stores, in Ghana we go out in search of that one unique Ashanti fabric and go to a seamstress to get clothes custom made. Women in Ghana love dressing up and standing out – the only way to do that is to take risks and try bold things. That's the root of my inspiration for fashion–I love bold colors, mixing western influences with African influences, and trying new things! Oh and please steal my wardrobe, seriously I'm moving back to Ghana and I don't know where to put all my clothes, but I'm definitely not dragging it back with me.
HC: Do you see yourself working in the fashion industry someday?
AA: Absolutely! I've worked in both high fashion and street fashion during my four years at Bryant. I did that purposefully to get a feel for different aspects of life and culture that influence an individual's sartorial choices. With the knowledge I've garnered through that, I would love to own my store one day!
HC: We wish you the best of luck on all your future endeavors! Any final remarks before you leave Bryant?
AA: Network, network, network! I know we hear it ALL the time but when you're looking for a job or for sound professional advice, there are certain professors at Bryant who will prove to be invaluable mentors for you.

The Most Popular Japanese Bakery
Japan is the leading country that innovates and utilizes active yeast cultivation in bread production.
2 in 1 Japanese Bakery has invited Japanese Bakery Masters to bring their active yeast techniques to Australia, making 2 in 1 Japanese Bakery the first Natural Yeast Bakery in Australia.
Yeast is commonly used in baking bread and bakery products. It converts the fermentable sugars in the dough into carbon dioxide and ethanol. Currently there are a few different kinds of yeasts that are used. Some are converted from wines and others from a variety of fruits. Traditional yeast is produced by chemicals, known as "Dry Yeast" or "Fresh Yeast". The Dry Yeast currently available in the market is easy to obtain or produce and only requires a short period of time to ferment. The downside of this is that chemicals like "Phosphoric Acid" and "Nitrogen" have been added. Phosphoric Acid can cause low bone density, a loss of calcium, the production of kidney stones and chronic kidney disease. Natural Yeast Bread do not utilize any chemical materials at all. That makes the Natural Yeast Bread delicious and safe to consume.
"Natural yeast bread do not utilize any chemical materials at all."
There are bakeries that use artificial bread improvers, dough enhancers and preservatives to improve the quality of their bread. These artificial improvers are not required in the Natural Yeast Fermentation process. Active yeast helps with digestion and improves intestinal health. Bread fermented with instant or dry yeast has been known to cause hyperacidity or plenitude in some people. In comparison, natural yeast bread has not been found to cause any of the problems caused by instant or dry yeasts. It's just like organic products; safe to consume and will not cause problems to your health. This is why we can guarantee to provide you with 100% preservative free products that are both delicious and healthy.

Bowling Green's pint-sized "City Within a City" is helping keep your children safe.
It's been nearly nine-years since "Safety City" was built next to Greenwood High School.
The scaled down version of Bowling Green comes complete with traffic lights, streets and even Bowling Green's signature red, white and blue water tower.
Safety City was built as a result of the 1996 abduction and murder of young Morgan Violi.
Area businesses donated money to create this exciting teaching tool for area school children.
"It's a hands on situation that's not in the classroom, where students see first hand what to do in different situations," said Trooper Charles Swiney, with the Kentucky State Police.
Driving the go-carts is one of the biggest hits for students visiting Safety City.
Safety City instructors teach about traffic safety, guns, stranger danger and much more.

I've been on and off this site and still not to sure what men are looking for, its' pretty depressing when you can't find what you are looking for and then turn the corner and see someone you wish you could find with someone else and wonder why she's got that nice looking man I don't. I'd love to find a riding buddy, partner in life, I'm not looking for a hand in marriage as I've been there and done that, girls just want to have some fun these days and then see where it all goes. Does it all need to be that one night stand then once he gets that prefect blow job, your gone the next morning. I'm an honest person, funny, looking for some great times with new friends, I'm not a bimbo, support myself and have a great job, no BAGGAGE guys no kids and don't need someone elses to support and will pay for my own gas in my own bike, will probably buy you a beer or two but geez give us ladies a break here. What is it that you guys really want out there. I'm a real woman looking for a real man in life, simple life, simple things, not a high maintenance woman at all, I just know how to look it.

The Yakima Valley has the most varieties of fresh produce in the entire Pacific Northwest.

Interview with Oracle AU Managing Director - Ian White
By User769227-Oracle on Jan 26, 2009
Earlier this month Oracle's AU Managing Director, Ian White has taken time out of his busy schedule to answer some questions and provide his thoughts and comments on what it is like working at Oracle. I have had the opportunity to interact with Ian and have been impressed with the way that he motivates and leads Oracle's Australian Team. It has been great to get the chance to talk to Ian and have him share his thoughts and experiences at Oracle with us.
Without further introduction please find below our interview with Ian White, Oracle AU Managing Director - Ian thanks again for your time.
1) When did you start your career with Oracle and in what capacity, how long have you been in your current role?
I joined Oracle in October 1993 as an Applications Consultant. I became ANZ Regional Managing Director in June 2005, having been the Western Region General Manager for the preceding seven plus years.
2) What is it that you feel makes Oracle a great place to work? Why do you enjoy working for Oracle?
There are many reasons why Oracle is a great place to work. Corporately we are always looking to grow and improve our business - we are never 'standing still'. This means we are always looking to change, to perform better and to do things differently, which creates a culture and spirit of innovation and success that attracts a certain style of person to Oracle and I enjoy working with people who are innovative, who think and act creatively, who expect and celebrate success.
3) How would you describe Oracle's company culture or spirit?
Oracle's company culture and spirit is based on innovation, creativity, being competitive and being successful.
4) What is the most important contribution that Oracle expects from its employees?
Regardless of your role, Oracle expects its employees to adhere to our corporate values and Code of Ethics and Business Conduct. Beyond this, Oracle is a fantastic example of the whole being greater than the sum of the parts. Where different parts of our organisation work effectively together, we are able to offer significant increases in value to our customers and hence our shareholders. Oracle expects its employees to use all its resources in the most effective manner possible.
5) How would you describe the experience of working here?
I have had a fantastic experience of working at Oracle. I have had many opportunities to do different things and have worked with many very talented people who have had vast amounts of fun achieving spectacular results. I have always enjoyed support from senior management and have 'lived through' a number of Oracle and IT industry periods - the database wars, the internet, the dot com boom, the dot com bust and IT slowdown, the IT industry consolidation, and now the global economic crisis. Each of these periods has presented many corporate and personal opportunities for those prepared to look for them and to take advantage of them.
6) Work-life balance is an issue of retention as well as productivity. Can you talk about your own view of how to navigate the tensions between getting work done and encouraging healthy lives outside the office?
Work-life balance is one of the biggest challenges facing all of us and often means quite different things to different people. I am married with four young children and try to spend as much time as possible with my family. I try and avoid working on the weekend unless there is no choice, for example I will often look at email, but not send any unless it is critical to do so. We are all creatures of habit and it is quite easy in my experience to develop the habit of working on the weekend, even when it is not essential. I try and maximise the work I do when I am travelling, so that I have less to do when I am not travelling.
7) If you were speaking to a new Oracle employee, what one piece of wisdom would you want to incorporate into their work life?
Don't wait to be tapped on the shoulder and have an opportunity presented to you. Be on the lookout for opportunities and grab hold of them.
8) Do you feel the opportunities exist for employees to develop both their personal and professional growth in Oracle?
Absolutely. We have many examples of people who have grown significant careers in Oracle and benefited personally and professionally as a result. Oracle has grown significantly in the last four years - this has created many opportunities for people to develop their technical and management skills, and to switch between the two. Oracle will assist with personal and professional development, however don't wait, be proactive.
9) In the current economic climate, What do you feel is the greatest challenge currently facing Oracle AU in the next 12 months?
The greatest challenge facing Oracle Australia in the next twelve months is to focus on the reality of our business locally. We have a very broad customer base, a very broad product set. The next twelve months are a fantastic opportunity for Oracle to continue to persuade the market of the tremendous value and benefit its complete, open and integrated software stack can bring businesses in challenging times.
10) Is there any person or company you feel is doing innovative work in AU and in what way?
Many of our customers are using our products and services in innovative ways, to help make them more efficient and in particular to help them differentiate themselves against their competitors. Often, Oracle employees are not only engaged in these initiatives, but leading the way as well. In my experience, Australian organisations and people are regularly leading the world in their understanding and application of technology.

Observing the Observers
- 28 June 2016 7-8:15pm *on now
From King George III's private observatory to the origins of the National Physical Laboratory, Lee Macdonald reveals new research on the remarkable story of Kew Observatory in this lecture at the Museum of the History of Science.
Kew Observatory was originally built in 1769 to enable King George III to observe that year's transit of Venus. Yet it was its work during the nineteenth century that is of the greatest historical interest. Its activities encompassed meteorology, geomagnetism, instrument testing and solar physics. In this talk, Dr Lee Macdonald will explore how a group of astronomers and science devotees at Kew began the world's first systematic programme of daily solar photography in tandem with observations of the Earth's magnetic field – a precursor of today's ground- and space-based programmes that monitor the Sun and 'space weather', the Sun's interactions with the Earth and other planets. The talk will also describe how Kew Observatory pioneered the testing of scientific instruments and became the originating institution of the present-day National Physical Laboratory.
Doors open at 18:30.

Still waiting for the official word on Danny Rosenbaum's promotion, ahem, reassignment, but noticed the following moves in the meantime…
• OF Michael Aubrey placed on 7-Day DL
• LHP Tom Milone placed on 7-Day DL
• Activated OF Roger Bernadina
• Activated RHP Brad Meyers from 7-Day DL
• Assigned Evan Bronson from Potomac
• Optioned Atahualpa Severino from Washington
• Recalled Collin Balester to Washington
• Assigned C Adrian Nieto from Potomac
These are all dated today on MiLB.com, and I strongly suspect that at least one, if not both, of the two players put on the DL have been placed there retroactively.
Just to recap, the following moves were made over the weekend…
• RHP Yunesky Maya recalled to Washington, optioned back
• LHP Atahualpa Severino recalled to Washington
• IF/OF Brian Bixler recalled to Washington
• Roger Bernadina optioned to Syracuse
• Garrett Mock assigned from Harrisburg
• RHP Chien-Mien Wang activated from 60-Day DL
In case anyone ever wondered, this is not unlike court reporting in a small town… a lot of reading between the lines and being unable to make a definitive statement, even when you *know* what's really going on.
UPDATE #1: A couple more moves made overnight…

Looks like McGreary is doing his rehab starts.
Is Tommy really hurt or is this to make room for another illustrious pitching prospect?
That's a lot of players shuffling in & out of Syracuse over the last 72 hours; Hard to read the tea leaves at this point.
Think Bronson will get a shot at the AFL?
Also is Milone hurt, or is this just a way to give him a start off.
Anyone else can go as they please, but Milone is all we got for good pitching. Little off topic, but someone said a while ago that Tim Foli was out of the game and in bad health. I was a big fan of his 2 years ago in Syracuse and was wondering what is wrong with him? He was a good manager who put up with zero B.S.. Something we know little about in Syracuse this year.
Hey Don, have you had a chance to see Severino pitch. Anyone can answer but what kind of stuff does he have, and is he a sidearm guy. I need to know these things before I start the Severino Fan Club.
Don, you sound like a local fan, and you have my sympathy. SYR has seen a suprising amount of roster churn this season from their pitching staff (28 different pitchers with SYR appearances as of 07/31/11).
Those kind of numbers can easily lead to a lost season, as there is little consistency to fall back on.
Severino is not worth a fan club 🙂 Is is good when he is good and other times he seems like he is getting paid by the amount of hits he gives up.
Yes it is a long season after being promised a winner and being so close the last two years. 28 pitchers and an airhead for a manager are a lethal combo for winning.

Head Coach Pat Murphy
Fifth season at Arizona State: 149-87
Div. I Record (11th year): 467-203-1
Career Record (14th year): 522-258-3
Pat Murphy now in his fifth season at Arizona State after spending seven years at Notre Dame, has left his mark on Arizona State baseball. In his first year, Murphy guided ASU to a 34-21 record and put together the No. 1 recruiting class in the country. In 1996, he directed ASU to a 35-21 record and a No. 25 final ranking by Baseball America. The 1997 season marked ASU's return to postseason play as ASU went 3-2 in the Atlantic Regiona, narrowly missing out on a trip to Omaha. The Devils finished with a 39-22 record and a No. 11 ranking by Baseball America and No. 14 ranking by Collegiate Baseball. Murphy has also started the Pitch-by-Pitch Baseball Academy which holds baseball camps and clinics year round, not only in Phoenix, but around the country as well. Last season, he was honored as Baseball America's Coach of the Year after guiding the Devils to a second-place showing at the College World Series. The '98 squad went 41-23, 18-11 (3rd) in conference. They won the Midwest Regional with a 3-1 victory over Georgia Tech to advance to the CWS for the first time since 1994.
The Syracuse, N.Y., native's Notre Dame teams recorded 45 or more wins in six of seven seasons and advanced to the finals of an NCAA Regional each of the last three seasons.
He also has international coaching experience, guiding the Dutch National Team to the European championship in the summer of 1987, and helping to develop baseball in Australia as a state manager in New South Wales in 1984.
Murphy is the first coach in the era of aluminum bats to have his players practice exclusively with wood bats in practice.
Murphy has never had a player declared ineligble for a season.
"From those modest beginnings, Murphy has carved a unique college career, first as a player but most of all as a coach. ... And he's risen to the top of his profession."

Insects Across America is a program designed to allow children across the country to express their fascination with insects through poster art. A school or educational organization in each state will be selected to represent their state by preparing a 25 foot long butcher paper poster decorated with insects, both real and imaginary, poetry, cutouts, pictures, etc., that express their interest in insects. Emphasis should be on insects characteristic of their state, but the range of possibilities is limited only by the children's imagination.
Ultimately, we hope to display the finished poster (over 50 sections, each 25 feet long!) in the Smithsonian Institute Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. The poster project is a follow-up to Project Monarch, a series of posters prepared by students across the country promoting the Monarch butterfly for our national insect, which was displayed at the Smithsonian in January of 1995.
We have completed posters for 31 states and have selected participants in an additional seven states. You can follow the progress on a map of the United States or read comments made by participating schools/organizations by following the links below. If you know of some organization or group in one of the states listed as "needed" that would like to participate, please have them contact us!

New Mural Class Project at San Francisco State University for Project Rebound
The True Colors Mural Project's collaboration with San Francisco State University's Project Rebound will create an engaging, powerful and monumental work of art in the Cesar Chavez Student Union. It will reflect Project Rebound's mission of providing positive alternatives to university students who have recently been released from prison. Project Rebound is a one-of-a-kind, special admissions program assisting formerly incarcerated individuals who are making their transition from prison back into society. For over 40 years, SFSU's Project Rebound has served as a gateway for many; acting as a liaison between the students and resources offered both on campus and in surrounding communities.
The TCMP/Project Rebound Mural collaboration connects communities, while depicting contrasting social realities. San Francisco State University and True Colors Mural artists will come together to create an engaging and educational mural for the broad college community. One objective for this mural is to inspire formally incarcerated people to achieve their personal and educational aspirations. In addition, this mural is meant to encourage inquiry and facilitate dialogue surrounding the prison industrial complex and its effects on those incarcerated and their families. A major goal of the project will be to make the unseen seen, by using images and concepts that visually express both the experience of life behind bars and the transcendence to personal autonomy. The transformation from a blank wall in a central, light-filled staircase, to a series of beautiful and intricate images serves as a metaphor of the transition from life as an inmate to the endless possibilities of a free member of society.
The TCMP/SFSU project will require participants to learn about mural history throughout the Bay Area, traditional mural painting techniques, and the use of art for social change by participating in a two-semester course at Berkeley City College taught by muralists Tirso Ariaza and Juana Alicia. Master artists who have been painting murals for over thirty years, they will direct instruction in: site-specific design, historical and community-based research, cartoon transferring, and acrylic painting techniques. Juana Alicia and Tirso Araiza, with their students, have been building bridges and working alongside various organizations/communities throughout the Bay Area.
In closing, this narrative mural will be a student-driven collaboration between SFSU's Project Rebound, TCMP of Berkeley City College, and community members. The art will be an empowering expression of Project Rebound's history that inspires and educates through the concept of change and manifestation of one's greatest potential through higher education. Furthermore, it will raise the consciousness of our communities by demystifying the negative stereotypes associated with those who are and have been incarcerated.
