8/30/08 at Angel Stadium
The last time I'd attended a game in Anaheim, the home team was known as the "California Angels" and the No. 1 song in America was "Waterfalls" by TLC.
Yeah, it was good to be back…
I made the trip from San Diego with my friend Brandon and his friend Sean. We arrived half an hour before the parking lot opened, so they offered to deal with the car while I walked in and wandered around the stadium with my camera. In the four-part pic below, starting on the top left and going clockwise, you can see a) the entrance to the parking lot, b) what it looked like as I started walking toward the stadium, c) the home plate gate from afar, and d) the rich vegetation on the way to right field:
Here's another four-part pic which shows a) the right field gate, b) a peek through the gate, c) the Angels' offices, and d) something random and weird that was connected to one side of the stadium.
When I made it back to the home plate gate, Brandon (wearing the shades) and Sean were there…
…and for the record, Brandon's only an inch taller than me. It's just the angle. But anyway, we were among the first fans to get on line (or "in line" as they preferred), and there was a pretty decent crowd by the time the stadium opened:
Thankfully, most of the fans went to the Angels' side (on the 3rd base side) while others hung out near the foul poles. I bolted to the seats in straight-away right field and got off to a good start. In the four-part pic below, I'm a) trying to avoid the guy wearing the white shirt because he clearly knew what he was doing, b) enjoying the fact that I still pretty much had the section to myself, c) holding up my first ball of the day–a home run by Mark Teixeira that landed in the seats–while wearing a ridiculous-and-yet-somehow-almost-cool pair of MySpace sunglasses that Brandon had given to me and d) about to catch my second ball, which was thrown by Joe Saunders. (Brandon, by the way, works as a videographer for both MySpace and the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. Someday he's gonna make a video of me snagging baseballs, but for now it's all about the still photography.)
Here are four more pics in which I'm a) changing into my Rangers costume, b) jumping and catching a ball thrown by Josh Hamilton, c) climbing over seats in an unsuccessful attempt to snag a tape-measure blast, and d) using two hands (because I thought I was about to get jostled by the fans behind me) in preparation for a home run that I ended up catching on the fly. I have no idea who hit it.
That home run was actually my sixth ball of the day. My fourth was tossed by Kameron Loe (after a rude fan tried to prevent him from giving it to me by saying that I'd just been wearing an Angels hat), and the fifth was a home run that was dropped by a gloveless man and rolled down a couple steps right to me.
Brandon and Sean had both brought their gloves, but Sean didn't snag a thing. Any guesses why?
Brandon, meanwhile, managed to catch a home run that sailed 10 feet over my head, and he made quite a nice play on it. The ball was sinking fast as it approached him so he gracefully reached over a row of seats and made a knee-high, back-handed grab–all this while holding his fancy camera in his right hand. Here he is with the ball:
My seventh ball of the day was thrown by Joaquin Benoit. It fell a bit short of the front row, and I nearly bobbled it back onto the field when several other fans (rightfully) tried to reach in front of me and snatch it.
This brings us to the dreaded eight-ball.
I was standing about a dozen rows back when a left-handed batter tattooed a ball over my head. It landed in an empty row and skipped up high in the air back toward me. At first I thought I was going to have an easy catch, but then as the ball continued its mini-arc in my direction, I realized it was drifting a little too far toward the field. I turned sideways so that my glove hand was closer to the field. (My back was now facing the RF foul pole.) The ball was sailing back over my head, but still appeared to be staying within my reach, so I braced myself and began leaning out for it. I reached farther…and farther…and the ball was coming closer…just a little bit farther…I knew I could reach it…and as I reached out an extra few inches at the last second and made the catch, I lost my balance and toppled over sideways onto the row of seats below.
I held onto the ball–that's the good news–but unfortunately I slammed the left side of my rib cage against an armrest. My whole left side was instantly throbbing after that, and as soon as I was helped up, a pair of ushers rushed down the steps and asked if I was okay.
"I'll be okay," I said, fully aware that I'd be feeling the pain for days, if not weeks.
"Do you want some ice?" one of them asked.
"I'd need a whole body suit of ice," I said, and since there were still more balls to be snagged, I declined their offer to take me to the first-aid room.
I was in serious pain, though. It hurt when I breathed. It hurt when I sat down. It hurt when I ran. And it killed when I laughed. It still hurts. A lot. Even right now, five days after the fact, as I'm sitting here writing this, it still hurts. Worse than ever. I feel it every time I take a breath. I feel it every time I move…or don't move. It's bad. I don't know how to describe the pain other than saying it's like I have the most intense cramp of my life. It sucks. And it was all my fault. But hey, maybe it was worth it because the ball, I later discovered, was the 1,000th I'd ever snagged outside of New York City.
As batting practice was coming to a close, I ran (ouch) to the the Rangers' dugout and got a ball tossed to me by "special assignment coach" Johnny Narron. (Apparently transferring the BP balls from the basket to the bag is a special assignment.) Little did I know that Brandon had followed me and was taking photos from the concourse. Here I am getting the ball…
…and here I am wincing in pain as I headed up the steps:
In the photo above, the guy on my right wearing the black pants and blue shirt is an expert autograph collector named Sammy Wu (who you might remember from 8/6/08 at Shea Stadium). Check out the autograph he'd gotten earlier in the day:
I also got an autograph, but it wasn't THAT impressive. Milton Bradley signed my ticket. Here it is:
I desperately wanted to reach double digits. I was one ball away, and I got my chance when Brandon Boggs and Chris Davis started playing catch in very shallow right field:
Davis ended up with the ball, tucked it into his glove, and walked over to a small group of women in the front row about 50 feet toward the foul pole. I kept pace with him by walking through the seats, and we both arrived at the same time.
"Chris," I said almost apologetically, "is there any chance that you could possible spare that ball? Please?"
He looked up and gave a subtle nod, so I stood and waited while he signed a few autographs and posed for a photograph with his female fans. He finished 30 seconds later, took a few steps away from the wall, and flipped me the ball. SWEET!!! Double digits for the third game in a row! I celebrated by giving away one of my BP balls to a nearby kid.
I knew I wasn't going to snag too many more after that. This was my only game in Los Angeles of Anaheim, so I was prepared to sacrifice a few innings (and therefore a few potential balls) in order to wander all over the stadium and take photos. I wanted to be in the upper deck before it got dark. That was a must. But since the game started at 6:05pm (an hour earlier than usual), I had an inning to spare and spent it in the seats behind the Rangers' dugout. Hank Blalock was playing first base. I'd always liked him. I was glad to have a chance to get to add him to my list, and it seemed like I was in the perfect spot to get a third-out ball from him as he came off the field. This was my view:
Mark Teixeira ended the first inning by flying out to left fielder Marlon Byrd, who jogged in and tossed the ball one section to my right.
I called Brandon. He and Sean were sitting in their assigned seats (who DOES that?) along the right field foul line. Brandon wanted to wander with me. Sean wanted to sit and watch the game. I told Brandon I was going to stay behind the dugout for one more inning, and that no matter what happened I'd head over and find him after that.
Vladimir Guerrero led off the bottom of the second with a groundout to first base, and Torii Hunter followed with a single through the left side of the infield. Juan Rivera came up next and bounced into a 1-6-4-3 double play; pitcher Scott Feldman deflected the ball to shortstop Michael Young who flipped it to Ramon Vazquez who stepped on second and fired the ball to Blalock. Before Blalock even caught the ball, I was crouching at the bottom of the stairs. As he jogged off the field, I stood up and started shouting, and since it was still early in the game, I had no competition. Blalock had no choice but to throw the ball to me, and I reached out for the easy catch.
I met up with Brandon, took a few notes on a piece of scrap paper about how I snagged that ball, and then labeled the ball itself:
Finally, the in-game wandering and photo-taking was underway.
In the four-part pic below, you can see a) an usher guarding the tunnel that leads from the lowest concourse to the field level seats, b) the upper deck concourse, c) the view from the corner of the upper deck in right field, and d) the right field seats and "Budweiser Patio."
Before we headed toward home plate, Brandon made me pose for a photo:
Then he got a real action shot–of me hitting a beach ball:
Brandon and I headed to the left field corner of the upper deck…
…and the wandering continued. In the four-part pic below, you're looking at a) the field from the corner of the upper deck, b) the view from the ramps as we headed down to the field level, c) the same view as the first pic except from the field level, and d) the horribly-positioned bullpens:
The bullpens are horribly positioned in terms of snagging (because they waste home run real estate in straight-away left field) but they're great in terms of spying on the players. There are a few rows of seats that wrap around the center-field end of the visitors' bullpen. I went down there, and this is what I saw:
See the player sitting on the right? That's Frank Francisco. Can you tell what he was doing? He was entertaining himself (and annoying the fans) by flicking pumpkin seeds over the fence and into the stands. When he finally saw me taking pictures, he flicked a whole bunch at me (one at a time), including two which I ate after they made it through the fence. Soooo funny. I even got to chat with him a little bit.
Then, realizing it was the sixth inning and that the Angels were winning, 4-3, I made my way toward the seats behind their dugout. That's when Brandon peeled off and caught up with Sean so I was on my own as I a) walked behind the rock form-A-tion in center field, b) passed through the bar in deep right-center, c) snuck a quick peek at the seats behind first base, and d) headed through a desolate concourse toward the first-aid room.
I was in serious pain, so I got some ice and Ibuprofen and was, for the time being, back in business.
I met up with Sammy behind the dugout, and we watched as Francisco Rodriguez mowed down the Rangers for his 53rd save.

Zack, you truly ARE amazing! What a trooper to keep going, when you could've(& I probably would've) gone to first aid. I have to admit I'm jealous about the Hamilton ball. All the games I go to here(Tx) & I still don't have one from him. I bought a HR derby ball on ebay that I'm trying to get him to sign. Well nice haul as usual, look forward to reading about the rest of your trip! Brian
johnny naron is hamiltons special friend who makes sure he doesnt smoke crack or drink or anyhing like that, so it *IS* a special asignment.
Have fun getting better, nice game. Good luck on 3700
Zack- Two games and thirty two baseballs. Wow. Congrats- Joe
are you going to do a wondering photo thing for shea and yankee stadiums now that there in the last days. I only have 3 games left if they make the playoffs or 6 if they do make the playoffs at shea. So im going to take some pictures this weekend.
Zack, I know what you mean about Frank Francisco. He acts like that everywhere he goes (I enjoy it). Does the stadium have a different feel since you got to roam around the empty park before the renovation? It's really weird how everything between the foul lines have changed but they kept the lower and upper the same. I think of the old park as a completely different place and with it's own unique feel. But that's just from pictures.
bmpowell74, how much did that Hamilton ball cost? Must have been a hefty sum for ball from the the most amazing Home Run Derby round in history.
Johnny Narron is on the most special assignment of all–helping Josh Hamilton stay on the straight-and-narrow. I adore him for it.
Saturday was my birthday… and, by the look of all the balls you snagged, you stole my presents :]
I think the Big A is my second favorite stadium, behind Coors Field. I went there last year–the huge hats in front are SO cool.

hey zack,
congratulations on #1000 outside nyc, soory about your ribs. hope you get better soon. has angel stadium changed since the last time you went there?
Hey Zack, congrats on the 11 baseballs. Sorry about what happened to your ribs. I hope you finish your road trip strong.
I just answered comments on my previous entry, so if you've been waiting for me to answer a question, check it out. Now I'm getting started on my entry about August 31st at PETCO Park. Get ready for another story about Heath Bell.
Thanks. Sounds cool about the Derby ball. Good luck getting it signed. Let me know if you do.
Thank you as well. (The snagging scene is so much better outside my own hometown. What a shame.)
Nah, I already did it for both NYC ballparks.
The pre-renovated stadium felt like an old ballpark because of all the wasted space and nooks/crannies in left field…and yet it's a really generic structure in many other ways.
Wow, okay, so I guess Puck Collector was right. How come I didn't know that 'til now?
Yeah, it's changed quite a bit. Look at my reply (just two people above you) to Aaron.
Thanks. I'm sorry too. :-)
Just when I thought the only thing that could slow you down was injury (bight my tounge, knock on the hardest piece of wood you can find)….you go put up double digits will bruised ribs…i'm sure you'll have an update in the next entry….good luck
yeha if you had watched the Derby and listened to chris berman on tv instead of actually GOING to the game you would have know that. that was the only relevent thing berman talked about all night, but that took up like 80% of the broadcast. josh hamilton is a recovering addict
You can read all about Johnny Narron in the SI cover story they did on Hamilton a couple months ago. I'd let you borrow mine, but I got Josh to sign it when the Rangers came to Houston earlier this year.
Wow! A successful trip. You weren't kidding. I'm usually one of those that gets to Angel Stadium and heads toward the 3rd base side but after reading this I think I'll just head straight out into right field from now on. I'm hoping to break my (lousy) record of two balls at one game during the Mariners series coming up.
Congrats again! And I'll send you the pics I have from the game on the 2nd.
I can't remember the last batting practice I was at that I didn't get some kind of bump, bruise, cut, scrap, banged knee, stepped on toe..you get my point. Snagging can be a body abusing sport (Yes I said sport), at times thanks to the bleachers. Zack, way to take a lickin and keep on tickin..Don..Rock Pile Ranter
I got Milton Bradley twice that day, 16 total. Hamilton's auto has been MUCH MUCH harder to get after he put on the show in derby. He used to sign like crazy. I really have it tough on the line-up cards. Here is what going on in Angel Stadium. Every angel game, and I mean every game. There is always a group of 3-5 hispanic adults/kids (most time different kids) will positioned in different spots behind the angel dugout for free stuff. They are very experienced (in a deceitful way)of what they are doing and very annoying. During the time I got my first line-up card one kid asked me to buy it for 5 bucks. The day I got Anderson's wrist band one kid told me I should give it to the people who sat near there. They like to mess with people there. Those kids have gotten bats, gloves and over 50 pairs of cards. I think they are adopted. Wish me luck on Yankee line-up card next week.
AARON (dwright94) — It's not a game used ball, just an official ball with the derby logo. I still think it's cool though. Most ebay auctions are between $20-30 w/ shipping.
i SHOULD be at shea tomorrow..i hate how the cheapest ticket is $25. hope your outside before the gates open, but youll outsnag the S*** out of me anyway so it doesnt matter. hoping for a few, but its gonna be crowded. no guarantee if ill go yet, but look for me.
im going tomorrow but it looks like i'll only be there about 10 minutes before the gates open. oh well.
and zack, how come we've never hear about this:
i remember the blog about it and how you said you were being filmed that day but i didn't know it was a web site. there is also another video of you talking about your collection.
Bah, injury-schminjury.
Ahh. Gotcha.
I don't blame you for not wanting to lend me that copy. I'll see if I can find it elsewhere.
Yeah, definitely, go to right field next time, and get ready when Ichiro steps into the cage. The man hits BOMBS in batting practice. No joke.
Well said. Thanks.
This just confirms that you're the man. Those other fans sound awful. I'm glad I don't have to deal with them on a regular basis.
I don't expect to have a big day tomorrow at Shea. There's going to be a monster crowd, and I'm going to be helping a 13-year-old do some snagging. But that's fine. As long as we each get at least one ball (and see the Mets kick some heinie), I'll be happy.
I never shared the link for this? Damn…I thought I had. Oh well. Now it's here for all to see.
Hi .good job on Ana pics,too bad you couldnt catch a pumpkin seed on the fly,sue player if hit in eye.Espn said Arod will end up with 850 his career.
That Josh Hamilton jersey is awesome. You'll be the only one cruising around Taiwan with that one. Very nice signing.
Nice game once again. I'm impressed by your dugout sneaking into ability. I was a little less impressed with some of the Anaheim ballhawks the last game I was there. Very hands on and pushy. My friend got jostled quite a bit. I will guarantee this to any of you Anaheim ballhawk pushy types that might be reading this. If any of you lay a hand on me or touch me in any way, you're going to get knocked out. That's a promise. Back to snagging…..Zack, that was a nice game snagging wise. I really liked the Milton Bradley auto too. Can't wait for the next entry.
Glad you like it. That Hamilton auto is really nice, actually one of the nicest in my collection. Definitely my most favorite hound this year. As for snagging, I don't think there is anyone, maybe except John, is good enough to be considered as ballhawk. Fans in Angel Stadium really suck at snagging. (Including me)
Ok, maybe the people I saw the other day were amateurs. People that are full time snaggers like Zack, me, and alot of others on here do our best not to run into people and kids, etc. I just saw a lot of out of control people in Anaheim. I didn't like it. Hopefully, it was an isolated incident that happened to my buddy. We'll see. Great auto for you. Talk to you later.
Leigh – At least i don't try to run people over! The night you were out only 2 or 3 "regulars" were out there plus TC. Unfortunately it gets crazy out there sometimes when balls fly around like they did that night. It is an oddity to have a good BP up there.
Zack – Again we didn't cross paths. One of these days it will happen. Glad you had a good trip! Since the Phillies are going to oust the Mets and the Yankees are out of it maybe you can come back for some playoff ball! I decided making money was more important than snagging baseballs. Unfortunately that is the case when you have a family.
I believe that about A-Rod. Should give us all some amazing snagging opportunities.
Thanks, as always. I truly appreciate all your support and encouragement.
The Phillies aren't ousting anyone.
Hey Zack,
What a great time with you and Brandizzle.. We both had scars from the chairs on our legs.. and you definitely made an amazing catch in the seats. I remember the ball hit your glove, tried to bounce out, and in almost slow motion poetry.. I saw your eyes light up and you dive into the stands for it. Your article doesn't even do it justice.
Brandon also sent me the back to back home run grab footage at Yankee stadium.. you are too funny. I love the dance.
Anyway, it was really nice meeting to you and seeing what's possible first hand at a ball game. I told everyone I knew of our fun at Anaheim and Dodger stadium.
Keep up the good work, and keep in touch.
i always wondered about the sammy guy
ive seen him everywhere…always at angel games and i saw him 3 days in a row once
angel stadium, petco park, oakland coliseum
Friday I'm headed to the Big A on monday I'll be chillin at Dodgers stadium,
My question, Does anyone know the earlies times the gates open. Any secret entrances or cheap ticket deals. I plan to show up, get a ball and sit at the top of the stadium. I love that.
Thanks ahead of time for your're suggestions
Awesome! I went to the Angels v. Rays game on Tuesday and I ended up making a diving catch during BP in the same section you fell and I bruised my thigh and collar bone when I fell to the ground. Luckily I held onto the ball. Two workers came down and asked if I was ok, and I also got a standing ovation from the fans for how awesome a catch it was. :-)

Compare great Bentley Clutch Cable prices in Golders Green with Who Can Fix My Car.
They called me the day I received the quote, offering to fit me in the next day. I dropped the car off first thing in the morning and picked it up early afternoon. Whilst it does not look much from the outside, the service and quality were impeccable and so fast!! This will be my new "go-to" garage!
recommend the service, top price and professionally installed . Everything done in a short time
Very honest, fair and a pleasure to deal with.. The work was perfect and just as described.. The garage may look a bit messy but don't be put off..
Very good job done on my car, and brought it back to life
Good price for the service. It did take longer than expected because i got some wrong parts and had to order others but it was okay as the staff where very friendly ! Owner kept in contact with me with other problems during my service. I was suprised when i asked ' should i change this part' and they said no, the brake pads are still good. I was expecting them to get more money out of me but the mechanics are a decent group of boys. Thanks! Id reccomend this garage.
Good and friendly people. Fast and good skilled brake pads and disks replacement.
Repair works done on side edge of passenger and drivers door, looks new after repairs. However inside of car was covered in dust , would have been good if they covered the interior first before completing the works
Repair works done on side edge of passenger and drivers door, looks new after repairs. However inside of car was covered in dust , would have been good if they covered the interior first before completing the works
excellent service, however the diagnosis wrote off the fault prematurely, and respect the honest service, great feedback. unfortunately i was lucky 4th time round at another garage with more experience, don't be put off, these guys are decent
I thought the service was excellent. After accepting the quote I received a call from the garage within an hour and got my car booked in for the next day. Even though my car needed a part, it was still fixed on the same day. Very happy, would recommend.
Good job!
Great quality and quick job, everything as described.
Good service, happy with the result.
I picked these chaps as they were reasonably close and had a good rating. I assumed they would call me as the email I received said but no one ever called and so I used someone else. I would give zero stars but the website won't let me.
Job got done on time as promised, recommended.
Car repair was done to good standard (slight delay in getting it back from them due to paint shop issues) They were polite and kept me informed throughout. Polite and friendly. Not dealership level repair but good enough for the price.
Always a pleasure dealing with these guys as legit as they come, I would recommend they be your first choice you won't be disappointed. First class service.
Brilliant garage. I needed this wing mirror very quickly as I had to go Glastonbury the next day and these guys got it done straight away. They were also friendly, honest and as someone who's had a lot of bad experiences with garage these awesome guys put me at ease. Not to mention the price was very reasonable considering some chain garages were quoting me over double! Will never going anywhere else now! Thanks again :)
Prompt and efficient service
Very friendly and prompt service, really happy with the job. I've used these guys a few times now and will definitely use them again.
This is an excellent local garage that I wish was more local to me - but worth the journey. Joe, who runs the office side of the business, is brilliant and reassuring (my car is extremely old). There were clear explanations at every stage and all the work was fast and efficient. I highly recommend this garage
Efficient service, repair as requested, competitive price, car left clean etc. Recommended
Efficient service, repair as requested, competitive price, car left clean etc. Recommended
job was not done by this garage .not saying garage is not good just did not use them

Did not use the garage
Nobody contacted me the garage did not even call me and this is two attempts to use a service from this site with no one getting back to arrange an appointment had to use Kwikfit to get my car done
Very good service
its very good i got good service
Job was quick, unbeatable prices. But, my dash board computer was not reset. Because of that I'll give 4 of 5.Apart from that great work, great price.

Los Alamos National Laboratory
Delivering science and technology to protect our nation and promote world stability
Accelerators, Electrodynamics
National security depends on science and technology. The United States relies on Los Alamos National Laboratory for the best of both. No place on Earth pursues a broader array of world-class scientific endeavors.
Los Alamos National Laboratory prides itself on its continuing record of excellence in the field of accelerator science and technology directed toward both fundamental scientific research and issues of national security and energy security.
Likewise, the Laboratory has made and continues to make significant contributions to national security using its expertise in diverse areas of electrodynamics.
Capabilities in this area are nested around four major outstanding facilities:
- The Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) is one of the world's most productive multidisciplinary international user facilities. At its core is a nearly 1-mile-long, 800-MeV proton linear accelerator (linac) with demonstrated capability of delivering 1-MW beam power. It supports five distinct user areas enabling experiments for both forefront basic civilian and applied national security research: the Isotope Production Facility (IPF), the Manuel Lujan Neutron Scattering Center (Lujan Center), the Ultracold Neutron (UCN) facility, the Weapons Neutron Research (WNR) facility, and the Proton Radiography (pRAD) facility.
- The Dual Axis Radiographic Hydrodynamic Test (DARHT) facility is a unique national facility unmatched in the world in its capability to produce x-ray pulses delivering multi-frame flash radiographic images of a nonnuclear weapon mockup as it implodes.
- Building on our long history of leadership in free electron lasers (FELs), the Laboratory now houses one of the broadest FEL capabilities in the nation, developed mostly through the Navy FEL program and now augmented by early cutting-edge research on x-ray free electron lasers (XFEL). An XFEL is planned for the future Los Alamos National Laboratory signature facility, MaRIE (matter-radiation interactions in extremes).
- In addition, research using the Trident laser at Los Alamos continues to yield new and exciting results in the field of ultra-intense lasers and laser acceleration of ions. Read more about experimental research at TRIDENT: First time nuclear material detection by one neutron source.

1464: Information resources for catchment management
This paper is summarised from Demonstration Test Catchments (DTC) Note No. 01 'Creating and applying robust information resources for catchment management'.
Year of Publication2012
This paper contains useful pointers about communicating with farmers and policy makers more generally as well as in relation to catchment management. If the complex challenges of water catchments are to be managed effectively different types of knowledge must be brought together. Research that only uses natural science may miss the real issues if it is human actions that are the source of the problem. Knowledge exchange is more complex than knowledge transfer but it can be longer term and richer. Information needs to be accessible. There should be better funding for knowledge exchange, which is generally not included in research grants.

What is in this article?:
- Corn discoveries may ease global food demand
- Results of study
- Two new studies provide a new and more comprehensive understanding of genomic variation in maize, which will be critically important to plant breeders as they work to increase corn yield in the face of global population growth and climate change.
Researchers at the University of California, Davis, report that ancient farmers had a stronger impact on the evolution of maize, or corn, than modern plant breeders have had on the grain — now one of the world's top production crops.
The findings, together with a companion study on maize diversity, appear in the online edition of the journal Nature Genetics. The research was funded by the National Science Foundation and conducted by scientists from 17 international institutions, including BGI, the world's largest genomics organization. It will serve as the basis for future research in crop evolution.
"These two studies provide a new and more comprehensive understanding of genomic variation in maize, which will be critically important to plant breeders as they work to increase corn yield in the face of global population growth and climate change," said plant geneticist Jeffrey Ross-Ibarra, the lead researcher on the UC Davis-directed study.
Professor Bart Weimer, co-director of BGI@UCDavis, a research partnership established last year between UC Davis and BGI, noted that the studies are excellent examples of the critically important work that can be accomplished through multi-institution partnerships, particularly with the sequencing capabilities contributed by BGI.
"UC Davis values our longstanding relationship with BGI China, and we are moving quickly to expand this collaboration with BGI@UCDavis," Weimer said.
The world's population is expected to climb from 7 billion people this year to an estimated 9 billion by 2050. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations predicts that food production will need to increase by 70 percent over the next four decades to meet anticipated demand. Globally, 90 percent of these production increases will need to come from increasing crop yield on existing farmland rather than by bringing new land into agricultural production.
The new UC Davis-led study analyzed the evolution of maize during the period when it was domesticated 10,000 years ago, as well as during subsequent breeding. The study was based on the resequencing of 75 genomes of maize and its relatives, including wild strains, traditional cultivated varieties and improved modern inbred lines. (The first sequencing of the reference maize genome was announced by a U.S.-based consortium of researchers in 2009.)

The Only Woman in the Room is a vivid and very personal account of one woman's life in Europe, prewar Japan, and the United States. As the daughter of renowned Russian pianist Leo Sirota, Beate Gordon grew up in the cosmopolitan world of the concert tour, then settled in Japan in the 1930s.
During World War II, while her parents remained in Japan under secret service surveillance Gordon lived alone in the United States, monitoring Tokyo Radio in five languages for the government and later writing radio propaganda.
She recounts her dramatic reunion with her parents in Tokyo, where she worked in General MacArthur's headquarters, and evokes the postwar suffering in defeated Japan. Her intimate description of helping draft the women's rights section of Japan's new constitution is an astonishing record of history in the making.
On returning to the States in 1947, Mrs. Gordon became a cultural impresario, bringing artists, dancers, writers, and musicians from all over to the United States. Her adventures in search of performing artists in such remote and exotic places as Mongolia, Tibet, India, and Indonesia make for hilarious and sometimes hair-raising anecdotes.
The Only Woman in the Room can be appreciated on many levels -- armchair travelers, feminists, history buffs, and readers who appreciate a well-written memoir will all find Beate Gordon's extraordinary life a riveting read.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Beate Sirota Gordon was born in Vienna in 1923, the daughter of Leo Sirota, the piano virtuoso, and Augustine Horenstein. She now lives in New York City and Amagansett.
In recognition of her cross-cultural achievements, she received the 1997 Avon Grand Award to Women.

By far Armored Saint's worst album. About a 6.5 I would say.
Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 06.12.2010 at 21:37
I actually find their debut March Of The Saint their weakest after this one due to the production. Their best for me would still be Delirious Nomad closely followed by Symbol Of Salvation.

The Division of Rheumatology offers conferences, grand rounds and other events to help physicians better understand rheumatic diseases and how they can affect other medical conditions.
These events include:
- Clinical Conferences. Patient centered and outcome focused, these conferences bring interesting or challenging cases on the consultative service for discussion in detail by rheumatology fellows. An academic and scholarly discussion of the disease or therapeutic challenge illustrated by the case is also held. Literature reviews are used to back up the presentation.
- Grand Rounds and Continuing Medical Education. These bring outside experts in rheumatology to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center to present the latest advances to attending physicians. Topics presented include advances in the understanding of the cause of an illness, how to treat or manage difficult clinical problems, advances in finding a cure for rheumatic diseases or information on the risks and benefits of new therapies for rheumatic diseases.
- Journal Club. This presents an opportunity for fellows to distill and present in-depth scholarly reviews of recent studies in the literature are distilled to the Division of Rheumatology. The Grand Rounds outside expert attends this Journal Club and brings his/her special expertise and focus to the discussion. This gives fellows an opportunity to learn how to read and critique an article or study and present it to their peers. At the same time it offers attending physicians in the Division of Rheumatology exposure to a wide range of literature on new techniques for diagnosing and treating rheumatic diseases as well as information on disease processes, prognoses and outcomes.
- Radiology Conference. This monthly conference is designed to assist attending staff and medical residents and fellows to interpret and understand the anatomic and pathologic features of various forms of arthritis to make a diagnosis quickly and accurately, The conference covers the latest imaging techniques from plain X-rays to computer tomography (CT) scanning and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Interesting and challenging cases are brought by those attending for a radiologist to interpret for the group. Discussion focuses on how to make a diagnosis based on the findings as well as how to understand the disease process.
- Research Conference. This conference discusses topics of extreme academic and research interest and is intended to lead to the development of collaborative, often multidisciplinary, research projects. Visiting or guest lecturers present short topics and lead a wide-ranging discussion to generate research ideas and projects. Rheumatology Division members are able to discuss their own ideas in order to generate research projects. The Rheumatology Division registry and database decisions are reviewed in this meeting so that input from all Division members can be obtained.
- The Wallace Research Conference. Dr. Daniel Wallace selects a topic of importance in the management of patients. Rheumatology fellows research the literature on the topic and discuss their findings to gain a greater understanding of the disease process. The conference focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of systemic illness as well as the clinical features of the disease. Outside experts attend this conference to lend their expertise when appropriate.

City loans help transform historic upper floors in La Crosse
The historic flavor of downtown La Crosse is one of the things that make our city unique.
But many of the older buildings in the business district have upper floors sitting vacant
Renovating those upper floors comes with a lot of benefits, both for La Crosse government and La Crosse residents.
It can create housing opportunities, increase property values and boost spending at downtown businesses.
Loans from the city government are helping property owners make it happen.
The upper floors of the historic Doerflinger building in downtown La Crosse sat empty for decades before local start-up Authenticom moved in.
"This space had actually been vacant for over 30 years," said Authenticom CEO Steve Cottrell.
With the help of an Upper Floor Renovation Loan from the city, local start-up Authenticom turned it into a modern office space.
"We've brought it back into the community as a viable piece of real estate, brought the tax base up several million dollars, and we've created close to 100 jobs," said Cottrell.
Upper Floor Renovation Loans, or UFRLs, are paid for with state trust fund money and can be worth up to $50,000.
The building has to fall within the boundaries of the city's Central Business District, which are the Mississippi River, the La Crosse River, 8th Street and Cameron Avenue.
The property value has to increase at a rate of two times the city's loan.
"People have great ideas. They want to take them to that next level to actually start their own business and I think we're there to help with that. It does help fill in empty storefronts, empty upper floors. I think that benefits the community," said City Planning Director Larry Kirch.
Even though Chris Kahlow, the owner of Jules Coffee, has a city loan to renovate her upstairs space, she said city building codes make it a challenge.
"The current codes, of course, are for building today. These buildings were built in the late 1800s. So there are a lot of challenges with fire codes," said Kahlow.
Even with those hurdles, she thinks the program is important for developing a healthy downtown.
"It really is necessary, I think, for the city to get involved," said Kahlow. "We have hundreds of underutilized apartments. The market is there to fill them, but we just don't have the apartments renovated right now."
The city offers two other loans as part of its Business Assistance Programs.
Through the Architectural and Engineering Analysis Program, the city pays 80 percent of the cost to hire an architect to check out a building's structural and mechanical conditions.
Small Business Development Loans help local entrepreneurs get their businesses on their feet.
For more information on these loan programs, go to the City Planning Department's website.

By Kevin Wilson: Freedom New Mexico
In its third year at Eastern New Mexico University, the theme for the Latino Leadership Summit was Si-se puede, a Spanish phrase that translates to, "Yes, I can."
When summit organizers Diego Espinoza and Nathan Padilla graduated from ENMU in 2006, they had to answer the question of whether they would let the summit die. Their emphatic answer: No, we can't.
"It's one of the events we couldn't let go of because it's such an asset to the community," Espinoza said at the conclusion of the event on ENMU's campus. "The students love it and learn so much."
About 350 high school students from Clovis, Portales, Roswell and other New Mexico cities attended for motivational speakers and information on higher education opportunities at ENMU or elsewhere.
"You may not know what you want to be when you get here," said Padilla, who is now doing graduate studies at ENMU's Roswell campus, "but just get here."
A little more than three years ago, ENMU President Steven Gamble asked Espinoza and Padilla how the school could address drops in Hispanic enrollment. The summit was their answer.
Espinoza, now a liason for U.S. Rep. Heather Wilson, R-N.M., estimated 90 percent of attending students had never been on a college campus before, so the goal was to motivate and educate them to get back onto one.
Sessions included lessons on grants and scholarship, and Latino speakers who shared their stories of success. Speakers included:
• Pastor Tommy Vallejos, a Roswell native and director of the Hispanic Organization for Progress and Education
• Catholic Legal Immigration Network Inc. Legalization Director Mirna Torres, a Lovington native
• Fifth Judicial District Judge Freddie Romero from Roswell
"They literally came from nowhere," Espinoza said. "They came up from ground zero and they're at the top of their games."
When students ask Clovis High School Spanish teacher Ana McElrath what they would get out of the summit, she points to the influence those speakers can have in their speeches and question and answer sessions.
"We can tell them it's important to see role models," McElrath said. "Sometimes it's hard (for students) to imagine they can do those things."
Patricia Natividad, also a Spanish teacher at CHS, said having New Mexico natives as speakers brings those points home.
Padilla said one obstacle Latino students face is that higher education may require them to be away from a strong family unit.
"The Latino culture is very family oriented," Padilla said, "but sometimes that can be a hindrance."
In situations like those, Padilla brings up ways students can get quality education near their homes. Many want to be doctors, and Padilla reminds them that loans can be forgiven for those who stay and practice in rural New Mexico.
But if they have to leave, McElrath has other advice.
"You go and do what you need to, but you remember (your roots)," McElrath said. "You come back, and you contribute with what you've learned."
Espinoza and Padilla plan to keep the summit going, with next year's theme as "Make Footprints Worth Following." The university has given assurances it would keep the summit alive if they or Lambda Theta Phi couldn't.
"But we're not letting it go," Espinoza said.

Poets featured at Fall Arts Celebration event
Posted on October 15, 2013
Fall Arts Celebration at Grand Valley continues with "An Evening of Poetry and Conversation with Christian Wiman and Pattiann Rogers."
The event, Friday, October 25, at 7 p.m. in the L.V. Eberhard Center, Pew Grand Rapids Campus, is open to the public with free admission. A book signing and reception will follow the presentation.
The two award-winning poets will read and discuss their poetry, honed by years of life experiences. Their works focus on multiple facets of human life, especially spirituality, nature, and multi-disciplinary explorations in science, philosophy, and the play of the imagination.
Wiman was born and raised in West Texas, educated at Washington and Lee University in Virginia, and taught at Stanford, Northwestern University, and the Prague School of Economics, before becoming the editor of Poetry Magazine. During his decade at the helm, the magazine's circulation tripled and its influence widened around the world. In July 2013, Wiman joined the faculty at the Yale Institute of Sacred Music as Senior Lecturer in Religion and Literature.
Hailed by Dana Gioa, a former director of the National Endowment for the Arts, as "one of the most important American poets and poetry critics now active," Wiman is praised as a writer of depth, ambition, and originality. His three books of poetry include Every Riven Thing, named one of the ten best poetry books of 2010 by the New Yorker. His new memoir, My Bright Abyss: Meditation of a Modern Believer, is about his experience with a serious medical crisis.
Rogers, born in Joplin, Missouri, was an undergraduate at the University of Missouri and received a master's degree from the University of Houston. She was a visiting writer at University of Texas and University of Montana and elsewhere, and was a faculty member at the University of Arkansas and Vermont College. Rogers' many awards include two NEA grants, a Guggenheim Fellowship and a 2005 Literary Award in Poetry from the Lannan Foundation.
The author of 12 volumes of poetry, most recently Holy Heathen Rhapsody, Rogers' work also addresses issues of the spirit. A Booklist review said the poet "writes transporting poems of discovery, contemplation and gratitude." Poet Terry Tempest Williams has said, "Her poems are translations of our dreaming life—what we know to be true but fail to remember. We read her words, sentence by sentence, image by image, and return to all that is beautiful, mysterious, and erotic."
Fall Arts Celebration has enriched the arts and humanities in West Michigan for more than 10 years by featuring many distinguished writers, poets, musicians, dancers, artists and scholars. The tradition continues with signature events in 2013. All Fall Arts Celebration events are open to the public with free admission.

In October 1987, the first Domestic Violence Awareness Month was observed.
I did not know about it then. But I will never forget to observe it now.
In 1988, domestic violence touched me in a way that has left lasting scars.
On Oct. 27, 1988, my friend Marie was brutally murdered by her soon-to-be ex-boyfriend.
Marie was a freshman at Northwestern University in Evanston, and she had recently become a pledge at my sorority.
She was supposed to attend a Halloween event at our sorority house that night. She never made it.
That afternoon, her boyfriend from home had stopped by her dorm room with the pretense of carving a pumpkin. But first they would go for a drive. Earlier that day, Marie had told her mother, with whom she was very close, that she intended to break up with him.
Her body was found under some bushes in a backyard in Skokie. There were slash marks from a knife on her neck and hands.
During his trial, Marie's killer claimed he had strangled her in self-defense, and that there had been a quarrel. Never mind that Marie was a little thing, and that he outweighed her by 60 pounds.
He also claimed he had panicked and had tried to cover up the crime.
That included calling Marie's mother to tell her that he and Marie had been fighting and that she had jumped out of the car. And it included stopping by our sorority the next day in an attempt to "find" her.
After three hours of deliberation, a jury convicted him of first-degree murder. He received a 25-year sentence for the murder and an additional five years for concealing a homicide.
He served his sentence and has gone on with his life.
I often wonder what Marie's life would have been like if she had been allowed to live it.
Would she have become a lawyer? A doctor? A successful businesswoman?
So many of my sorority sisters have done just that.
Would she have found her true love and married?
Would she have raised a house full of children that her mother and father would have doted on, they being the quintessential Italian grandparents?
Would we have stayed in touch or would we have reconnected recently, as I have done with so many of my other sorority sisters?
Would I be laughing at the pictures she would be posting on Facebook, and marveling at the little milestones she would share?
Every one of us who knew her has been cheated out on what no doubt would have been a wonderful life.
And so each October, I remember my friend. With sadness, with anger and with love.
Her memory is safe with me. I promise never to forget.
If you would like to remember those who have been lost and to support those who are currently dealing with domestic violence, a candlelight vigil will be at 6 p.m. Wednesday on the Woodstock Square.
The vigil is sponsored by Turning Point, Direct Counseling and Mather's Clinic.
It will feature teens sharing their experiences with domestic violence.
I sincerely hope their stories will be heard so that no one else will have to mourn each October.
As I do.

Healing Touch
What is Healing Touch?
Healing Touch is an "energy therapy" that uses gentle hand techniques thought to help re-pattern the patient's energy field and accelerate healing of the body, mind, and spirit.
Healing Touch is based on the belief that human beings are fields of energy that are in constant interaction with others and the environment. The goal of Healing Touch is to purposefully use the energetic interaction between the Healing Touch practitioner and the patient to restore harmony to the patient's energy system.
In a Healing Touch session, the practitioner begins with a centering process to calm the mind, access a sense of compassion, and become fully present with the patient. The practitioner then focuses intention on the patient's highest good and places his or her hands lightly on the patient's body or makes sweeping hands motions above the body.
Healing Touch practitioners believe that this process balances and realigns energy flow that has been disrupted by stress, pain, or illness. The process eliminates blockages in the energy field so that the patient is in an optimal state for healing to occur.
Healing Touch complements other healing techniques a patient may already be using, including conventional medical practice in hospitals, clinics and in-home care, or other body-mind oriented therapies such as massage, guided imagery, music therapy, acupressure, biofeedback, and psychotherapy. It is not intended as a cure.
What are energy therapies?
According to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), this category of complementary therapies involves the use of various types of energy fields. In general, the goal of energy therapies is to bring energy into the patient or balance the energy within a patient.
There are many kinds of energy therapies, some which use treatments such as light, sound, and magnets. These treatments are relatively easy to measure. Other kinds of energy therapies, such as Healing Touch, Reiki, Qigong, and therapeutic touch, are "intended to affect energy fields that purportedly surround and penetrate the human body." These therapies cannot be as easily measured or researched.
Even though the results of these therapies have not been measured quantitatively in a reliable way, some new instruments, such as the superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) are showing promise for research with energy therapies.
Moreover, and importantly, many of the techniques used in energy therapies come from practices in shamanistic and Asian traditions with thousands of years of use. For example, more than 2,000 years ago, Asian healers believed that the flow and balance of life energies were important in maintaining health, and that illnesses were due to energy imbalances. They developed therapies and practices, such as acupuncture, yoga, and Qigong to correct these imbalances. Modern energy therapies such as Healing Touch are based on the same principles.
Where does Healing Touch come from?
Healing Touch was developed as a touch therapy program by Janet Mentgen, a nurse who has used energy-based care in her practice in Colorado since 1980. Mentgen and some of her colleagues developed a training program that incorporated the techniques of many well-known healers, as well as concepts borrowed from ancient shamanic and aboriginal healing traditions.
An evolving Healing Touch curriculum supports students in broadening and deepening their skills as energy healers as they move from the beginner to advanced level.

September 11, 2012 —
If you have to get a photo ID in order to vote this November 8—only two months away— you're not going to get much help from the PennDOT motor vehicle centers, one of the principal locations to obtain a photo ID.
In Pike and Wayne counties, as well as in all PA counties, these centers are only opened two days a week and are crowded by other people seeking new licenses or getting driver tests.
"I went to the license center in Milford to get a voter photo ID for my son so he can vote and it was so crowded that we decided to leave and come here to the Honesdale center," said Paul Wolfert of Hemlock Farms in Lord's Valley, standing outside the Honesdale license center. "In Milford, it took a half hour to do two people. I see that it's not much different here."
According to the Pennsylvania Department of State, there are about 750,000 people in the state who don't have an acceptable form of photo ID and may not be able to vote in the election in November. Groups suing the state over the new law, which went to court a few weeks ago, say the actual number is more than one million.
With two months to go, a survey of practices at PennDOT license centers indicates there are barriers that may make it difficult to Pennsylvanians to obtain a photo ID, according to a report by the Pennsylvania Budget and Policy Center (PBPC). The department entitles the report "Pennsylvania's Identity Crisis."
The PBPC study said, "In this first documented survey of the agency's [PennDOT] efforts to implement the state's new ID law, a dozen volunteers working with PBPC reported that PennDOT centers lacked basic signage and information about the law, and provided little information about the availability of free IDs. Observers received incomplete and inaccurate information and in almost three out of 10 cases individuals were told they must pay for IDs that should have been made available free."
In June and July, PBPC volunteers conducted 42 visits to 43 driver's licensing center to observe how the state's voter ID law was being implemented. The visits covered 28 counties with centers serving 73% of the population, it said. There are 71 licensing centers statewide.
"The Commonwealth has a lot of work to do to ensure that voters will not be disenfranchised," the study said. The report recommends that Pennsylvania delay implementation of the law until clear, consistent and accurate implementation can be guaranteed.
On August 15, Commonwealth Court Judge Robert E. Simpson, a Republican, rejected a request by the Pennsylvania American Civil Liberties Union (PA-ACLU) for an injunction to stop the implementation of the law.
An appeal to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court by the PA-ACLU, a group called the Advancement Project and the Washington, DC law firm of Arnold & Porter is scheduled to be argued on September 13. The fate of the voter ID law will be decided by six justices on the State Supreme Court, three of whom are Democrats and three are Republicans; the seventh justice is suspended from office while facing conspiracy charges. If the opinions of the six justices are evenly divided, the lower court ruling will stand.
Attempts to reach PennDOT who controls the motor vehicles centers' schedules were not successful.
A valid photo voter ID is:
A photo ID issued by the U.S. government or the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
A PA driver's license or non-driver's license photo ID, which are valid for voting purposes 12 months past expiration date
A valid U.S. passport
A U. S. military ID, active duty and retired military ID, which must include an expiration date or designate that the validity is indefinite, same for military dependents' ID
An employee photo ID issued by federal, state, PA county or municipal government
A photo ID from an accredited PA public or private college, university or seminary
A photo ID issued by a PA care facility, including long-term care facilities, assisted living residences or personal care homes

According to a news release from the Goliad County Sheriff's Office, Raul Rios, 32, was arrested at a residence on East Fannin Street by Goliad County Sheriff Kirby Brumby and GCSO officers without incident. Rios was transported to the Goliad County Jail and is being held on a $75,000 bond.

Hi ladies,
We moved into a new home about 2 weeks ago. My 18 month old upped her nursing which she hasn't done in a looong time to where she was (finally!) doing the "milk" sign to let me know. Well now that we're settled in...she's doing the opposite, hardly wants to nurse at all. She seems to really like the new house and her new play room that she never had before. She just runs around all day long playing and never stopping to ask for milk except for the usual (morning, before nap, bedtime). NOW this morning she jumped off my lap and ran around the room playing without a single drop of milk!!!!! First time she's never taken milk in the morning...I cried, I couldn't help it. I feel so rejected like she doesn't need me anymore!! Is it normal to up nursing during moving and then completely slack off afterwards? Is it just exploration? Or weaning.... If anyone has had a similar experience, I'd love to hear from you. Thank you for reading.
