Occurrence records map
The Tasmanian Devil is the largest surviving carnivorous marsupial in the world. It has a thick-set, squat build, with a relatively large, broad head and short, thick tail. The fur is mainly black, but white markings often occur on the rump and chest. Body size also varies greatly, depending on the diet and habitat. ... source: OZ Animals

- Brief description: Thick set, stocky body, broad head and strong jaws. Coarse, thick black fur often with irregular white markings.
- Description : Thick set, stocky body, broad head and strong jaws. Coarse, thick black fur often with irregular white markings on chest, neck and rump. Runs with a distinctive loping gait. Body size is very variable according to diet and habitat. Males are larger than the females. Large males can be up to 12 kg in weight. Head, body and tail combined length 90 cm.
- Biology : Endemic and widespread across Tasmania, Devils can roam large distances in search of food. Mainly a scavenger with a very varied diet, they will eat almost anything they come across. Its powerful jaws allow it to consume its prey entirely - bones and fur. They can often be heard screaming and squabbling over carcasses, the noise and display being part of the animal's social hierarchy. Breeding tends to be in March, with young born in April. Up to four in a litter, young remain in the pouch for about 4 months. The Devil is the largest extant carnivorous marsupial and fossil evidence suggests they used to be found across the Australian mainland. Devil numbers have been in serious decline due to the Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD) that is characterised by cancers to the mouth and face and is fatal to the animal.
- Habitat: Agricultural areas, coastal heath, open dry sclerophyll forest, and mixed sclerophyll-rainforest.
- Native status: Native to Australia; now confined to Tasmania.
- Maximum size (cm): 90
- Diet: Omnivore
- Colours: black, white
- Distribution: Tasmania

One of my favorite parts of Everyday with Rachael Ray magazine is their fabulous Centerpiece of the Month segment, where they invite different people – usually with very recognizable names – to create a centerpiece design to share with readers. Luckily, these ideas are archived online, so if you're looking for some tabletop decorating inspiration, this is a great place to start!
A few favorites are pictured here – starting with the top image – "Sock It To Me" designed by the fabulous Orla Keily – which features mix-n-match socks used as vase covers…genius!
Pictured below (clockwise from top left): "All Choked Up" by Jackie Shapiro (of French Bull fame); "Veggie Garden" by home design guru Christopher Lowell; "Spool Party" by product designer David Stark; and "Recycled Chic" by cookbook authors Matt and Ted Lee.
I love how adorable and easy this next idea is… "Sugar High" – fittingly designed by Dylan Lauren of Dylan's Candy Bar – features unwrapped whirly pops and suckers sprouting from a bed of candies. (The white flower pots are from IKEA.)
Pictured below (clockwise from top left): Tea Time by fashion designer Liz Lange (lovely idea for Mother's Day!); "For the Birds" by textile designer Angela Adams; "Under Cover" by home furnishings designer Annie Selke; and "Space Balls" by set designer Derek McLane (such a fun idea for kids parties!).
Last but not least is this "Picture Perfect" idea by design guru Isaac Mizrahi. This centerpiece might have you doing a double take… it's actually pictures of flowers and butterflies, cut out and clipped to a store-bought wire photo hanger. The best part about this idea… these flowers will last a LONG time!!

Junior Ashley Gaston earned Honorable Mention All-American distinction in both the discus (22nd place) and shot put (21st place).
June 14, 2014
Preview | Day One | Day Two | Day Three
By Tyler Wooten
EUGENE, Ore. -- Saluki junior Ashley Gaston and sophomore Alexus Scott competed in the women's shot put on the final day of the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships at the University of Oregon's Hayward Field on Saturday, where they finished in 21st and 23rd place, respectfully.
Gaston began the day for SIU in the first flight of the shot. The Centreville, Ill., junior fouled her first two throws before hitting 15.29m (50-02.00) on her third and final attempt -- which, sealed her position in 21st place overall. Scott, a sophomore native of Greenbelt, Md., was up next in the second flight and peaked on her second attempt of 14.86m (48-09.00) to take 23rd place. Both Salukis earn Honorable Mention All-American honors for being one of the 24 national finalists in Eugene this week.
Today wraps up a strong junior outing for Gaston, who won the 2014 Outdoor MVC discus title and was also the MVC runner-up in both the hammer throw and shot put. Gaston qualified for the regional meet in both the discus and shot put, and was able to punch her ticket to Eugene in both those events as well. She will leave Eugene with two Honorable Mention awards, as she earned one in the discus on Thursday by finishing in 22nd place. At the end of her junior season, she ranks third all-time in the discus (53.95m/177-00), fifth in the outdoor shot (16.22m/53-02.75) and sixth in the indoor shot (15.94m/52-03.75).
The Salukis will leave Eugene with five Honorable Mention honors and one First-Team award from freshman Kyle Landon, who finished tied for third in the nation in the high jump on Friday night. Landon's performance continues SIU head coach Connie Price-Smith's streak of having at least one male or female First-Team selection outdoors since she took over the combined program in 2004-05, a feat she has accomplished in nine of her 10 seasons at the helm of the combined program (SIU had no outdoor All-Americans in 2009). Landon's performance also pushed the Saluki men to a tie for 42nd place overall as a team with 5.5 meet points -- the highest men's team finish outdoors since 2004 (11th).
"As expected, the NCAA Championship meet was a great meet to watch, and to have athletes competing in it made it even better," Price-Smith said. "Kyle had a very good meet but the other four athletes did not fare as well as they would have hoped. But, it is great experience for them for the future."
Speaking of the future, Saluki track and field's is looking brighter by the second. Not only did Southern have two All-Americans sit out this season due to injury (Bradley Sauer and DeAnna Price), but the Salukis are bringing in some of the best talent in the country like all-time high school shot put record holder Raven Saunders (Charleston, S.C./Burke H.S.), No. 1-ranked junior college pole vaulter Jonathan Walsh (Lincoln College) and Illinois state pole vault record holder Lindsey Murray (Harrisburg, Ill./Harrisburg H.S.) -- among several other talented incoming freshmen. That said, this year's group accomplished quite a bit on its own by tallying six school records, nine MVC Champions, 13 NCAA Regional Qualifiers outdoors and eight national qualifiers across both the indoor and outdoors seasons.
"I am looking forward to next year and I'm excited about the returners and the newcomers to our roster," Price-Smith said. "I hope to have an even bigger group here next year."
Men's Team Scores (out of 73):
T-42. Southern Illinois - 5.5 points
First Team All-Americans (Top-Eight)
Kyle Landon - High Jump, T-3rd place
Honorable Mention All-Americans (Places 17-24)
Curtis Wideman - Hammer Throw, 19th place
Josh Freeman - Shot Put, 21st place
Ashley Gaston - Shot Put, 21st place
Ashley Gaston - Discus, 22nd place
Alexus Scott - Shot Put, 23rd place

MEDINA — Councilman Bill Lamb, at-large, wants to become a Republican again.
Lamb said Thursday night he has the paperwork from the Medina County Board of Elections to change his party affiliation.
It's not the first time the councilman has crossed party lines.
Lamb was a Republican in 1983 when he ran for mayor of Medina but became a Democrat in 1985. He served eight years as mayor.
Lamb said the change is about working with people.
"There are a lot of Republican officeholders in the county that I can work with and actually get something accomplished," he said.
All elected positions in Medina are nonpartisan and there's no primary.
When asked whether he had any future political ambitions, Lamb replied, "I can't say."
He said he wasn't sure how well he fits into either party.
Lamb said he is more liberal on social issues than most Republicans. He acknowledged, though, that a lot of local issues he cares about — such as sidewalks and neighborhood revitalization — are not partisan ones.
He said he didn't choose to become an independent, because "independents can't win."
Lamb said he became disappointed in the local Democratic Party after a debate last year over the city's Community Improvement Corp., as well as recent meetings of Council's Special Legislation Committee on hydraulic fracturing that he organized.
He said he thinks local Republicans tend to have an easier time remaining friends after they disagree.
Lamb said he thought discourse after the first special legislation meeting degenerated.
"I could have said, 'I propose an anti-fracking ordinance to Council.' It would have gone nowhere."
Lamb said he originally planned to have a third special legislation meeting focusing on the issue of home rule but will no longer because he doesn't think it would change anything.
A recent change in state law gives the Ohio Department of Natural Resources the sole right to issue oil and gas drilling permits.

Exposure to digital media is reconfiguring the neural networks of young people, possibly at the expense of empathy and social skills. Extraverts with high self-esteem and certain personality traits tend to initiate face-to-face (FtF) contact with strangers; introverts lower in self-esteem use computer-mediated communication (CMC). Those who are overreliant on CMC miss nonverbal cues indicating deception and insincerity. This research suggests that many who have been raised in the Internet Age may be ill suited for high-trust professions involving the establishment of FtF relationships. Greater use of psychological tests and observations of applicants engaged in behaviors that reveal desired personality traits are in order.

Sidewalk slam
Elizabeth Schnider lost her temper and her sidewalk — all in the same meeting. Last week, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Zoning Board of Adjustment told Schnider that her roughly $3 million Lake Wylie property features a sidewalk that's too close to the lake and more concrete than regulations to control runoff allow.

Omni Hotels & Resorts' popular culinary series, "Flavors of the World," is back again this spring with a spotlight on the wines of Washington State. "Taste Washington" will feature many of Washington State's best wines in Omni bars and restaurants across the U.S., and will be accompanied by a food pairing menu of Washington-inspired cuisine.
The program runs through May 31 in partnership with the Washington State Wine Commission, and serves as an extension of the state's own Taste Washington event that celebrates the wines of the region. Washington State is the No. 2 premium wine grape grower in the U.S. The diverse topography allows for ideal grape growing conditions, making it one of the world's great wine regions
Featured wines were selected this past January, with a grand wine tasting at Omni Barton Creek Resort & Spa in Austin, Texas. As part of the 2014 Omni Food & Beverage symposium, Washington state wineries shared a variety of wines that were sampled and then selected by Omni's culinary team. Each participating hotel, including the Omni Orlando Resort ChampionsGate, is offering 10 unique Washington State wines, in six and nine ounce pours.
"We are proud to partner with Washington," said David Morgan, vice president of food & beverage for Omni Hotels & Resorts. "Our Flavors of the World program was designed to offer our guests a unique experience, and we hope, with this installment, to further familiarize them with this incredible region by featuring some of the best wines in the country."
The food pairing menu is offered across participating hotels, with dishes inspired by local flavors and the indigenous cuisine of Washington State. They include: Handmade Washington Cheeses served with fig jam, honey and olives, Dungeness Crab Fritters, Dungeness Crab and Snap Pea Soup, Apple and Fennel Salad, Roasted Salmon served with Wild Mushrooms and Apple Crisp with Vanilla Ice Cream.
To better understand the featured wine makers, Omni food and beverage professionals undertook an intensive February trip that covered more than 50,000 acres of Washington State vineyards to experience and sample the wines first-hand. The team visited some of the 20 participating wineries, including Chateau Ste. Michelle, Hogue Cellars and Charles Smith Wines to gain a deeper appreciation for the vineyards and vintages that are showcased throughout Omni's Taste Washington program.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Happiness adirondack chair cover The cover fits perfectly over the high back of the chair and is made really well. I need to see how it will hold up through a winter season. November 24, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by BayLady Everything I expected It was so hard to find quality covers for my Adirondack chairs. Most stores only carried covers for more traditional patio furniture. My chairs were not cheap, and they had to weather last winter under flimsy tarps. These Improvement covers are strong, handsome, fit perfectly, and the velcro tie-downs were a pleasant surprise. My valuable chairs are now well protected, and I am no longer embarrassed by the appearance of my winterized patio. January 1, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Boats Adirondack Chair Cover I ordered this for an over sized outdoor wicker chair purchased at another store. After talking to a lovely customer service woman to get sizes and explain what I needed she recommended this cover. It fits PERFECTLY with the cushions on so I don't have to keep taking them inside when it rains. It seems to be very well made. May 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by ElizabethJ Great heavy-duty product Needed a chair cover and this one proved to me the most heavy-duty for what I wanted. Needed a cover to protect our chairs and this is going to take care of that for a long time. May 24, 2013

Maximizing the Value of Software
By David Dorf-Oracle on Jun 24, 2013
A few years ago we decided to increase our investments in documenting retail processes and architectures. There were several goals but the main two were to help retailers maximize the value they derive from our software and help system integrators implement our software faster. The sale is only part of our success metric -- its actually more important that the customer realize the benefits of the software. That's when we actually celebrate.
This week many of our customers are gathered in Chicago to discuss their successes during our annual Crosstalk conference. That provides the perfect forum to announce the release of the Oracle Retail Reference Library. The RRL is available for free to Oracle Retail customers and partners. It contains 1000s of hours of work and represents years of experience in the retail industry. The Retail Reference Library is composed of three offerings:
Retail Reference Model
We've been sharing the RRM for several years now, with lots of accolades. The RRM is a set of business process diagrams at varying levels of granularity. This release marks the debut of Visio documents, which should make it easier for retailers to adopt and edit the diagrams. The processes represent an approximation of the Oracle Retail software, but at higher levels they are pretty generic and therefore usable with other software as well. Using these processes, the business and IT are better able to communicate the expectations of the software. They can be used to guide customization when necessary, and help identify areas for optimization in the organization.
Retail Reference Architecture
When embarking on a software implementation project, it can be daunting to start from a blank sheet of paper. So we offer the RRA, a comprehensive set of documents that describe the retail enterprise in terms of logical architecture, physical deployments, and systems integration. These documents and diagrams describe how all the systems typically found in a retailer enterprise work together. They serve as a way to jump-start implementations using best practices we've captured over the years.
Retail Semantic Glossary
Have you ever seen two people argue over something because they're using misaligned terminology? Its a huge waste and happens all the time. The Retail Semantic Glossary is a simple application that allows retailers to define terms and metrics in a centralized database. This initial version comes with limited content with the goal of adding more over subsequent releases. This is the single source for defining key performance indicators, metrics, algorithms, and terms so that the retail organization speaks in a consistent language.
These three offerings are downloaded from MyOracleSupport (article 1564821.1) separately and linked together using the start page above. Everything is navigated using a Web browser. See the Oracle Retail Documentation blog for more details.

In the pod this weekend there is discussion of racism, flopping and drawing. That's just at Anfield. Sitting in The Kop this week are Jesse Chula and Joseph Weathered, whilst Kartik Krishnaiyer offers his views from inside Starbucks.
Up for review: Man City's longevity. Can Mancini's men make it through christmas and more importantly the Manchester Derby with their dignity and their sanity? Sir Alex will have a blunt answer, in the same way that Chicharito did for Liverpool's underwhelming dominance at Anfield as the biggest match in club football ended in a draw.
But wait, the league isn't just about the 'Big Four' anymore. Norwich and Swansea make things interesting in the south whilst Newcastle are still punching above their weight. Bolton look buoyant too, but they don't promise half as much as Stoke do.
We also look forward to the Champions League and what may come of our prized assets as they square up against the European heavyweights. All of this makes for some tricky predicting but good analysis. If you want to offer your views to the podcast then email: firstname.lastname@example.com

CHICAGO — With the painful volatility of the stock market playing havoc with 401(k) and IRA accounts these days, building a nest egg sufficient to provide a comfortable retirement can be a challenging assignment. What makes the job even tougher is a tax provision that may come as a nasty surprise from Uncle Sam after you retire.
Those of us who can look with some degree of satisfaction at how well we are building our tax-deferred retirement accounts need to keep in mind that all withdrawals from our 401(k) and conventional IRA accounts will be taxed at our ordinary income tax rate, which can be as high as 35%. That needn't be a problem for you in your early retirement years when you may make small withdrawals now and then to fill an occasional need. In fact, voluntary small withdrawals prior to age 70½ may be a way to soften the increasing tax bite soon to come.
However, once you reach age 70½, something the Internal Revenue Service calls Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) kicks in. From that point on, you must make a mandatory withdrawal based on an IRS table. That formula unrelentingly increases the size of the taxable withdrawal each and every year. The result can be a huge and unexpected yearly tax increase for anyone with even a modestly successful tax-deferred account. Fortunately, there is a technique that you can use to help minimize that financial burden.
During our working years, it makes good sense to follow conventional wisdom by keeping our capital growth investments in tax-deferred accounts where you can buy and sell assets with no tax consequences for any capital gains profits or dividend payments that may be generated, while keeping other investments such as CDs and money market funds in taxable accounts. After retirement, though, a complete reversal of that approach can be a smart move.
As an example, let's say that at retirement you have $150,000 invested in equities or mutual funds inside your 401(k) and roughly the same amount in CDs or other cash equivalents in a taxable account. You could roll over your 401(k) into an IRA account and then sell all the assets within the IRA with no tax liability because they are still in a tax-deferred account. You could then use that money to buy CDs and/or bonds within the IRA. When you start to make withdrawals, you'll still be paying your ordinary income tax rate—no tax savings there.
However, the other half of this equation is where you can make a big tax savings. By cashing in all of the bonds and CDs in your taxable account as they mature and using that money to buy the very same equities formerly held in your retirement account, you will maintain your same asset allocation, but with a very different tax consequence. As long as you hold an asset within your taxable account for at least a year before selling it, you'll pay a maximum capital gains tax of 15% (at current rates) on any profits that you make. Further, if you have any losses in this new account, you can use them to offset any profits, reducing your tax bill even more.
After this switching of assets, you will have maintained your former asset allocation and thus have taken on no additional investment risk. You will still be paying your ordinary income tax rate on withdrawals from your IRA—no tax change there—but now you have reduced the tax burden on assets held outside of the IRA to a maximum 15% capital-gains rate instead of your ordinary tax rate.
Prior to switching of assets, you would be paying ordinary income tax rates on both the withdrawals from your IRA as well as any income generated by the CDs and bonds in your taxable account. By making this simple switch, using the example I described, one-half of your total portfolio has been switched from ordinary income tax rates to the maximum 15% capital gains tax without incurring any additional investment risk. Depending on your financial circumstances, this change could result in a substantial reduction in your after-retirement tax burden.
Income taxes are an important factor at every point in our financial lives, but they take on additional importance after retirement when the dependable flow of income during our working years comes to an end; that's why doing everything possible to minimize your tax burden during your retirement years is well worth the effort involved.

With another Super Bowl in the books, it's a good time to take a look at the top franchises in the NFL. This list gives a look at which organizations have been most successful over the past decade and which ones will likely continue to pile up the wins and playoff appearances.
1. New England Patriots - Say what you want about the Patriots, but despite injuries and roster turnover, they seem to be a regular in the AFC championship game.
2. Baltimore Ravens - The Ravens missed the playoffs for the first time under John Harbaugh. With Steve Bisciotti and Ozzie Newsome at the top, this franchise will be a consistent winner.
3. San Francisco 49ers - With Jim Harbaugh in control and Colin Kaepernick under center, the 49ers look to a regular Super Bowl contender.
4. Green Bay Packers - This franchise is one of the most consistent in the NFL, and anytime you have a quarterback the quality of Aaron Rodgers, it makes reaching the playoffs a nearly annual tradition.
5. Indianapolis Colts - You can literally call it "Luck," but the Colts could very possibly be looking at their second straight future Hall of Fame quarterback, who should be playing in Indy for a long time.
6. Seattle Seahawks - Pete Carroll changed the culture in Seattle, and now Russell Wilson has given them a quality quarterback for years to come. Throw in their very difficult home atmosphere and the Seahawks will be a regular contender.
7. New Orleans Saints - With Sean Payton and Drew Brees, the Saints have an explosive offense that should make them a frequent playoff team.
8. Atlanta Falcons - The Falcons need to bounce back after a rough season, but Matt Ryan won't allow this team to stay down for long.
9. Philadelphia Eagles - Chip Kelly was impressive in his NFL debut and he may have found his franchise quarterback in Nick Foles, who had a terrific season.
10. Houston Texans - The quarterback situation is of high concern, but the Texans have a lot of talent and the No. 1 overall pick.
11. New York Giants - Can Eli Manning bounce back? The division is there for the taking, but the Giants look like a team that, after two recent Super Bowls, might be taking a couple of steps back.
12. Pittsburgh Steelers - Speaking of teams with two recent Super Bowls taking a step back, the Steelers method of managing the salary cap and their lack of impact draft picks is finally catching up with them.
13. Denver Broncos - As long as Peyton Manning keeps playing, the Broncos are in fine shape. However, the end of the line isn't far off for Manning.
14. Cincinnati Bengals - The Bengals have a lot of talent but organizational structure isn't particularly stable, and they have also have to decide what to do with Andy Dalton when his contract is up.
15. Carolina Panthers - The Panthers have a young, nasty defense, but Cam Newton still needs a lot of help on the offensive side of the ball. There is too much money invested in below-average running backs and Steve Smith is nearing the end.
16. Detroit Lions - There is a lot of talent on this team, but until some discipline is instilled and Matthew Stafford takes care of the ball, the Lions will continue to disappoint.
17. Kansas City Chiefs - Andy Reid has really stabilized the organization, and the Chiefs have a young, blossoming defense.
18. Chicago Bears - The Bears will continue to be mired in mediocrity, especially now that they are saddled with a big contract for Jay Cutler, who simply hasn't shown he is able to play up to the level that type of money commands.
19. Arizona Cardinals - The Cardinals have a very formidable defense, but until the 49ers or Seahawks take a step back and they find a franchise quarterback, it's going to be tough sledding.
20. San Diego Chargers - The Chargers showed a lot the way they bounced back this year, but Philip Rivers and Antonio Gates aren't getting any younger.
21. Dallas Cowboys - Until Jerry Jones realizes he isn't a general manager, the Cowboys look to fight to mediocrity.
22. Miami Dolphins - Ryan Tannehill could be a franchise quarterback, but the organization is in a bit of disarray after the the bullying issue and they still have the Patriots to deal with.
23. Washington Redskins - RGII isn't as good as his rookie year but not as bad as his sophomore campaign, but Daniel Snyder is every bit as awful as advertised.
24. St. Louis Rams - I really like what Jeff Fisher brings to the table and the talent on the defensive side of the ball, but they have no offensive talent and no one knows if Sam Bradford is the real answer.
25. Tennessee Titans - The Titans are stuck in a division where they are the third best franchise and they still don't know what they have in Jake Locker.
26. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - It was a mistake to give up so soon on Greg Schiano with the way the team played down the stretch, and the team hasn't been relevant since Jon Gruden was the coach.
27. New York Jets - The Jets have two "franchise" quarterbacks on their roster, but neither are any good.
28. Buffalo Bills - There is some talent and reasons for hope, but the team is playing nearly half its home games in Toronto and relocation rumors won't go away.
29. Minnesota Vikings - Adrian Peterson isn't getting any younger and the Vikings don't have a quarterback.
30. Cleveland Browns - There are signs of a potential turn-around, but until the Browns get a quarterback, the team will continue to be an NFL bottom-feeder.
31. Jacksonville Jaguars - This team showed signs of life in the second half of the season, but constant rumors about possible relocation and a lack of fan interest only makes matters worse.
32. Oakland Raiders - It's hard to have any faith in a franchise that poorly run from the top all the way down to the bottom.

A dapper dressed Joseph Gordon-Levitt joined his co-stars co-stars Dania Ramirez, Jamie Chung and Wole Parks in NYC for the world premiere of his new film "Premium Rush" last night. And our world shifted a bit.
There are two things we like about Gordon-Levitt – his lean frame and how nicely he cleans up post grunge. But truth be told we'd prefer him in less is more as this gives a better access to a taste.
Don't get us wrong, the suit and tie thing is just grande, really it is, as it suggest papi knows how to dress himself, but the lean frame wins out and a double breasted suit makes it hard to appreciate the lean frame we previously mentioned enjoying getting to admire.
Even during filming – a set we visited a few times – where he sported some cut-off jeans and a t-shirt, we were still wishing he'd found his way into something a bit more tell-tale. Like something along the lines of some short-shorts for instance…
A cheap thrill is still a stir is our motto.
Ramirez on the other hand gave us exactly what we like to see women on a red-carpet wearing – fashion! Belleza popped up clad in a red floor-length gown accentuating her petite frame. And we thank her for it.
The cast seemed happy to be doing there last stops to promote a locally based project and see it make its way into theaters, finally. Gordon-Levitt spoke to reporters about his "31 stitches for his art" bit and dropped the Eco note of more bikes, less cars. Well, we can't wholeheartedly argue with that, no sir! We can hardly find a damn parking space as it is, but have to say we like having our car, which has a bike-rack to carry our bike to-and-fro…
And how else are we to pick you up for date Mr.? Lets find a proper balance baby.

Los Angeles - Freshman Gavin Brooks recorded a career-best eight strikeouts to lead UCLA past Pacific, 8-3, Monday afternoon at Jackie Robinson Stadium. Second baseman Alden Carrithers finished 2-for-4 with three RBI and two runs scored to help give UCLA (10-14) the series victory over the visiting Tigers (7-19-1).
Brooks (2-3) allowed just two runs off three hits through 5.2 innings to earn his second victory of the season. Freshman right-hander Garett Claypool allowed one run off three hits in 3.1 innings of relief to earn his second save. Pacific right-hander Jake Wild (1-4) absorbed the loss, allowing six runs off five hits in 2.0 innings.
Designated hitter Will Penniall, first baseman Cody Decker, third baseman Eddie Murray and right fielder Gabe Cohen all finished 2-for-4 at the plate. Cohen tallied two RBI and one run, and Penniall scored two runs for the Bruins. Shortstop Brandon Crawford delivered with a 2-for-3 effort, his 12th multi-hit game of the season.
UCLA jumped out to a 2-0 lead after one inning and led 8-0 after three. Carrithers doubled to left-center field, plating Penniall from second. Crawford brought home Carrithers with a double to the right-center field gap.
In UCLA's six-run third inning, Penniall led off with a single to right. Carrithers followed a two-run blast over the right field fence. Crawford walked, and Decker reached on an infield single. Left fielder Mickey Weisser was safe at first with on a sacrifice bunt when Pacific pitcher Brett Manning bobbled the ball. With the bases loaded, Cohen lined a double to left, scoring Decker and Crawford. Weisser gave UCLA a 7-0 cushion when he scored on a wild pitch. Catcher Ryan Babineau brought home Cohen with a sacrifice fly to right.
Pacific answered with two runs in the top of the fourth. Third baseman Justin Baum put the Tigers on the board with a solo home run to right. Designated hitter Joey Centanni reached first on a walk, and scored on right fielder Zach Chamberlin's double to left field. Pacific added its third run in the top of the ninth.
The Bruins return to action at 6 p.m. Friday, March 30, when they begin Pac-10 play at Stanford University. UCLA and Stanford continue the three-game series Saturday and Sunday at 1 p.m.
Game Notes:
Gavin Brooks topped his previous career high of five strikeouts when he fanned his sixth batter of the afternoon - Dennis Hill - in the top of the second...Brooks made 106 pitches in 5.2 innings...five Bruins tallied multi-hit games, and Alden Carrithers led all players with three RBI...UCLA evened its record against Pacific to 6-6 (since 1975)...with two hits in three at-bats, Brandon Crawford raised his team-leading batting average to .358 (34-for-95)...Gabe Cohen and Alden Carrithers both finished 5-for-11 (.455 avg) in three games against Pacific.

Sydney band The Preatures and Melbourne band British India have been announced as support acts for two of The Rolling Stones' gigs, during their tour of Australia.
The Preatures will perform before the iconic rockers take to the stage at the Hope Estate, Hunter Valley, NSW, while British India will open the show.
The two bands also have the honour of performing before the Stones at Hanging Rock, Macedon, Victoria, where the Preatures will open and British India will take the second slot.

Jimmy Barnes has already been named as the support act for the band's first gig in Adelaide.
It's been a spectacularly big day for The Preatures, who announced their debut album title and release date yesterday.
The record, Blue Planet Eyes, will be released on September 26 and the band also shared a new track Somebody's Talking on SoundCloud late on Wednesday.
Melbourne band British India.
"When we heard there was a chance of supporting The Rolling Stones, we tried not to think about it, in case it didn't happen. When we actually got the nod from them, we went into shock and we still are," The Preatures guitarist Gideon Benson said.
British India are working on their fifth album and hope to achieve the same success they had with their three previous albums which all reached the top 10 in the ARIA charts.
There will be a final release of tickets on September 1 for The Rolling Stones' Hunter Valley gig on November 15.
The Rolling Stones 14 On Fire tour kicks off on October 25 in Adelaide and plays dates throughout the country until November 18 in Queensland.

Hello New York Doll Collectors! I was looking around for doll gift ideas to share with you, for those of you who are into the Easter season; This would include loving the pastel and sweet hues of those colorful dyed eggs, the bold colors of jelly beans, and those marshmallow peeps. Why the colorful vision of dyed eggs and candy? Because, when taking a look at Madame Alexander's (MA) "Ballerinas and Fairies" collection, it seems to remind the palette of sweetness. Don't believe me? Take a particular look at MA's Pirouette in Purple Ballerina Doll. On this cutie of a doll, the color purple, that was chosen for this doll's dance tutu, gives a wonderful air of Easter's glory of sweets. Decorated with subtle silver sparkles, and matching purple ballet slippers, the Pirouette doll engages that sweet tooth... for doll collecting. Or how about the red hots of Firebird Ballerina Doll? The colors of red hots are built up into a sparkly red tutu, with a big hit of two gold like wings, embroidered on the front of the custom.
Hmmmm, these dolls are sweet to look at, and a wonderful gift to give for Easter; For family members, friends or yourself.
Visit New York Madame Alexander online.

Per Berglund
Professor of Physics -- Germany
The CIE grant provided financial support to travel in May 2013 to Hamburg, Germany to visit DESY, the German Electron Synchrotron, one of the world's leading particle accelerators used to study the fundamental constituents of nature and their interactions. My local expenses were covered by a Collaborative Research Center (SFB) fellowship that I was awarded through SFB's 676 "Particle, Strings and the Early Universe--The Structure of Matter and Space-Time" hosted by DESY and the University of Hamburg. Together these awards facilitated two months of visits and collaborations with theoretical physicists at DESY in 2013.
Professors Berglund (left) and Louis discussing compactifications from eleven dimensions to three, and back up to four, during visit to DESY in Hamburg, Germany in May 2013
During my stay at DESY I worked with colleagues at DESY and the University of Hamburg focusing on new aspects of string compactifications. My main collaborator at the University of Hamburg is Professor Jan Louis, one of the lead investigators for the SFB grant. Professor Louis and I study string theory, a leading candidate for a unifying theory of the basic forces in nature. The main premise behind string theory lies in the notion that fundamental objects are one-dimensional strands, or strings, rather than traditional point-like particles. Compactification, in which extra dimensions are made small and compact, is an important aspect of string theory. Through this process, the ten-dimensional spacetime predicted by string theory can be transcribed to the four (three space and one time) dimensional universe we know. Earlier studies have shown that properties of these extra dimensions, such as the size of the compact dimensions, have physical manifestations in our universe; for example the rapid expansion of the early universe, inflation, and the existence of dark energy, which gives rise to the recently observed accelerated expansion of the universe. New data (spring 2013) from the PLANCK satellite have provided further constraints on models of inflation coming from string theory.
Much of my research effort over the years has focused on the mathematical properties of Calabi-Yau manifolds, which are used when compactifying the extra dimensions required by string theory. Together with Professor Balasubramanian at the University of Pennsylvania, we used this information in a study I carried out when I first came to UNH, building on earlier results by Professor Louis and collaborators, to show how the size of the Calabi-Yau space can be fixed. The effect is due to a correction of how one naively computes the volume, i.e., the size, of the manifold, and exists because the strings are extended objects in space rather than particles. With collaborators at the University of Cambridge, Balasubramanian and I were then able to show that there exists a class of Calabi-Yaus where in fact the overall size can be very large while still having some "holes" that are much smaller, giving rise to the notion of so called "Swiss cheese" manifolds. Work at UNH continues in these topics, now capably championed by Herbie Smith, a rising junior and a UNH McNair scholar, who studies properties of these spaces to learn more about the implications for our four-dimensional universe.
In the ongoing project at DESY, together with Professor Louis and Dr. Alexander Westphal of DESY, we are investigating generalizations of the above string theoretic corrections to the size of Calabi-Yau manifold. One such generalization, involves considering an eleven-dimensional version of string theory, where the strings themselves are replaced by membranes. To obtain a four-dimensional spacetime, the idea is to first compactify on a higher dimensional version of a Calabi-Yau space, which results in a spacetime with three dimensions. However, it is possible to recover the standard four-dimensional universe by taking a particular limit of a doughnut-shaped part of the generalized Calabi-Yau. One then can show how the earlier correction arises from the geometry of the higher dimensional manifold and the string/membrane features of the theory.
Visits like the one in May are essential for exchanging ideas between theorists, leading to new projects. I have known Professor Louis for many years, and as mentioned above, his work was essential for both my earlier research as well as the current project. I met Dr. Westphal at a theoretical physics workshop on Generalized Geometry and Flux Compactifications at DESY in 2007, when he was a researcher at SISSA, Trieste, Italy.
We expect that the results of the work done in May to be finalized during the summer months. A natural extension of our study will be to look at the implications of the generalized corrections for determining the size of the extra dimensional space. We will pursue this in the fall, in particular during my return visit to DESY in November. I have also extended invitations to both Professor Louis and Dr. Westphal to visit UNH during 2013/14 (and beyond). In addition to being important for our collaboration, these stays will be beneficial for my students and the greater UNH community. My collaborators will present research seminars and general physics colloquia, the latter which in the past have been attended by high school teachers and students from throughout New Hampshire.

National Post ·
The Canadian government has revoked the citizenship of two former Nazi collaborators who misrepresented their wartime pasts when they entered the country more than 50 years ago, Justice Minister Rob Nicholson said yesterday.
Helmut Oberlander, 83, and Jacob Fast, 96, were stripped of their Canadian citizenship by Cabinet order. Both are Ontario residents born in the Ukraine and found by the Federal Court of Canada to have served the Nazi occupation during the Second World War.
"The message should go out that this country is not a safe haven for anyone involved with a war crime, whether it be recent or quite some time ago," Mr. Nicholson said from Munich, where he is attending a gathering of G8 justice and security officials.
It has been more than seven years since Ottawa took away the citizenship of a Canadian for involvement in Nazi atrocities. The last such decision, in March, 2000, concerned Serge Kisluk, who had collaborated with the Germans in Ukraine. He died in 2001.
The Oberlander case has been a longstanding concern of Jewish groups, which have repeatedly urged Ottawa to take action against him. Although the courts have ruled there was no evidence he personally committed war crimes, Mr. Oberlander was a member of a unit that carried out mass executions of Jews.
"Justice is finally being done and I think Holocaust survivors especially will embrace this decision as they are in their twilight years," Bernie Farber of the Canadian Jewish Congress said last night after the National Post first reported the story on its Web site.
He said the decision was about more than redressing past wrongs; it should also serve notice to combatants in current and future conflicts that they cannot commit crimes against humanity and get away with it, he said.
"When you deal with a person like Oberlander, you send a message to those who would today be committing war crimes, and that is that Canada will not rest, Canada will do whatever is necessary and years make no difference. The right thing will be done."
Dozens of war criminals have settled in Canada since the Second World War.
Following unsuccessful attempts to prosecute a Toronto man who had participated in the Holocaust, the government changed tactics and in 1988 began revoking the citizenship of Nazis on the grounds they had misrepresented themselves to immigration authorities.
Since 1977, Canada has revoked citizenship 54 times -- seven of them in relation to the Second World War. Some of those war criminals left Canada voluntarily and others died but none were removed to their countries of origin, officials said yesterday.
Mr. Oberlander and Mr. Fast have 30 days to appeal the decision. Neither could be reached for comment yesterday. Asked if the government intended to deport them, Mr. Nicholson said that was up to the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, Diane Finley.
"That would be a separate decision," he said. "They would be in the same position as other individuals without status in the country, so there are a number of avenues, but again until the decision is final, I think we should be clear that they have the right to have this reviewed."
Mr. Oberlander immigrated to Canada with his wife in 1954 and they became citizens in 1960. But in 1995, federal officials notified Mr. Oberlander they were taking steps to revoke his citizenship for failing to mention his wartime past when he immigrated.
In 2000, a Federal Court judge found that Mr. Oberlander had been a member of Einsatzkommando 10A, a "mobile mass killing squad" in Ukraine that implemented the Third Reich's Final Solution in the Soviet Union.
The government subsequently ordered the revocation of his citizenship, but the decision was set aside by a court in 2004 and no further action was taken until yesterday. He lives in Waterloo, Ont.
Mr. Fast arrived at Halifax harbour in 1947 and became a Canadian citizen in 1954. The government notified him in 1999 that it was revoking his citizenship.
Federal officials alleged that from 1941 to 1944 he had worked for the Political Police, a unit in Zaporozhye, Ukraine, that enforced the policies of the German occupation forces.
In October 2003, the Federal Court ruled that Mr. Fast had been a Nazi collaborator and that he had concealed his German citizenship when he entered Canada.
The case was sent to the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration for final disposition but no action was taken until yesterday. He lives in St. Catharines, Ont.
"These files have been in the system for some time but we've been very clear in our support of human rights and clear in our commitment that Canada will not be a safe haven for people involved with war crimes or crimes against humanity or genocide," the Minister said.
