Moorad's life changed by rare disease
Made switch from agent to owner after near-death experience
By Barry M. Bloom / MLB.com
SAN DIEGO -- The task of rebuilding the San Diego Padres into a contender may be daunting, but it is a walk in the "Park at the Park" for the team's new owner-operator and chief executive. Nearly 12 years ago, during his days as one of baseball's most successful player agents, a battery of doctors saved the life of Jeff Moorad from a rapidly-moving infectious disease, ultimately sending him on the path to successive ownership in two Major League teams. "Did it have anything to do with that experience? It really did," Moorad said during a recent lunch in a restaurant within walking distance of PETCO Park, where the "Park at the Park" is one of the main attractions. "As I came away from it I began to think about what the second half of my life should look like. Honestly, I envisioned something more, but at the time I didn't know exactly what that meant." Right now, it means taking control of the Padres over a five-year period from majority owner John Moores. That process, which began with the purchase of one-third of the club this past March, followed Moorad's nearly five-year foray as a general partner of the Arizona Diamondbacks. It was in Phoenix that Moorad made the unlikely, but successful, transition from his position as an agent to an executive. Moorad credits Commissioner Bud Selig with helping guide the way for him to join the Arizona ownership group and the fellowship at large. "It was obviously an unusual transition," said Selig, when reached by phone at his Milwaukee office. "He was very sincere. He's been a voracious listener. I think he understands the difference in going from an agent to a front-office executive. He continues to be making that transition. I appreciate him giving me the credit for that, and I think it's worked out quite well." There was a moment in time when all of this might not have happened. During the winter after the 1997 season, and right in the blush of the free-agent market, Moorad was hit by a sudden fever and a nagging pain that felt suspiciously like a pulled groin muscle. "Never in my wildest dreams did I associate the two," Moorad said. "But they turned out to be linked. It was a deadly combination." Moorad called Dodgers first baseman Eric Karros, then one of his clients, and asked him: "What the heck do you do for a groin pull? I can hardly walk on my right leg." "I'm no doctor and he was asking me about treatment," Karros recalled. "I told him to ice, stretch a little and take it from there. That's all he thought it was, but obviously it turned out to be a lot worse." It was hardly a groin pull. Moorad's temperature kept rising over a 48-hour period, critical timing for what he ultimately learned was a vicious flesh-eating disease called necrotizing fasciitis. The bacterial infection eats through the skin, races through the body and shuts down organs one by one. If it is not aggressively treated within 72 hours, the fatality rate is 100 percent.
By the time Moorad's body temperature had reached a dangerous 106 degrees and he went to the emergency room, he barely made it under the wire. "If we didn't catch it at the 72nd hour it couldn't have been any closer," he said.But he remained in denial. "I said, 'OK, I'll go,' but I had work to do and didn't have time," Moorad said. "December is a busy month and I was working hard." Moorad and his wife arrived at Hoag Hospital in Newport Beach, Calif., in the dead of night. During the next 10 days, doctors feverishly worked to save his life. At first, since his white blood-cell count was so high, the initial diagnosis was leukemia. But an infectious disease specialist, Dr. Martin Fee, diagnosed the real culprit. "He was the doctor who really saved my life," Moorad said. "He said he hadn't seen a case of necrotizing fasciitis since he was a resident at the University California Medical Center. But he said my symptoms were awfully close to that disease." Fee monitored him that day, which Moorad, 42 at the time, spent encased in an MRI tube. Technicians injected an iodine solution to identify the infected area. "And sure enough, my right leg lit up like a Christmas tree," Moorad said. "He pulled me out of the tube and said, 'We need to take you into surgery immediately.'" Moorad still wasn't convinced and said he first decided to make a couple of phone calls. He reached out to Leigh Steinberg, his partner in their then famous agency, and Dr. Lewis Yocum, the renowned orthopedic surgeon, who is the team physician of the Angels. "Here I was still thinking I had an orthopedic issue," Moorad said. "But even Lew said I needed to listen to the doctor and go into surgery immediately. That's the last thing I largely remember for the next nine days." Surgeons cut Moorad up his leg and into his right waist. He still bears the scar. The way the disease is treated is to cut out the dead cells and bombard the body heavily with antibiotics. The patient, though, has to be left with the wound gaping open. "I was sent back to my room and laid out like a piece of steak," Moorad said. "I was so out of it that I never really saw it. But I heard about it from enough people." Moorad had to endure seven surgeries in nine days. The greatest crisis came about 3 o'clock one morning when he was bleeding and an intensive care nurse was concerned that the infection was growing close to a key artery. "A vascular surgeon came in that night with a very poor bedside manner," Moorad said. "I remember this discussion like it was yesterday. She said, 'I want to tell you that this is a very serious surgery and we may have to take your leg. Time is of the essence.' I said, 'If time is of the essence please stop talking and get me in there.' "Apparently it was a five-hour surgery, and the first thing I did when I woke up was feel for that leg and it was still there. The whole experience was really, really scary." He spent 30 days in the hospital, and during the recovery the doctors told Moorad that they thought they had lost him twice. "You never really anticipate near-death experiences, and I certainly didn't anticipate this one," Moorad said. "But I really feel like I'm better for it. I came out of the experience with a stronger sense of my faith, of my priorities in life, and to this day I'm guided by lessons I've learned from it." Karros, who was one of the first visitors to see Moorad in the hospital along with Shawn Green and Darin Erstad, said he's seen the difference in his close friend. "If anything positive came out of the experience, I think he just slowed down a little bit," Karros said. "He learned to appreciate things more than he did before the incident. Let's put it this way: Who gets a flesh-eating disease? Where did that come from? It had to be a complete shocker." By all accounts, Moorad is a tenacious businessman, but someone who is generally sympathetic to people. He was hands-on in his position of chief executive of the D-backs, and is now involved in every facet of restructuring the Padres on and off the field. "In my time, most owners I know -- and that includes myself -- don't think we have the knowledge or expertise to run a ballclub," said Moores, who has owned the Padres since just prior to the 1995 season. "But Jeff is a little different. He's going to be very much both -- a chief executive and an owner -- and that's going to be a tremendous benefit." In Arizona, Moorad was one of five general partners. He was invited into the mix in 2004 by Ken Kendrick, the managing general partner, after Jerry Colangelo sold his stake in the franchise. Moorad was awarded the task of overseeing the day-to-day operations, while Major League Baseball phased him in as a minority owner. The D-backs had just lost a franchise-worst 111 games and were in dire financial straits. A decision was made to sell nearly $100 million in limited partnerships paid out over a 10-year period mostly to offset deferred player debt. By 2007, relying mostly on a young roster, the D-backs were back in the playoffs, losing to the Rockies in the National League Championship Series. By most measures, Moorad's tenure there has been deemed a success. "In conjunction with Ken, Jeff brought in all the key players in the front office and created a very talented staff," said Derrick Hall, who replaced Moorad earlier this year as chief executive. "He made it clear that he wanted to be in baseball and make a difference. He certainly did a fine job here." In his transition to the Padres, Moorad took only one front office person with him: Tom Garfinkel, an executive vice president in Arizona and now the San Diego president. Garfinkel cited his relationship with Moorad as the primary reason for the move. "I've known Jeff for more than five years," Garfinkel said. "As I got to know him as a business person and a friend, Jeff is someone I've learned to trust a great deal. It was evident that we had very similar values -- judgment in decision-making, how we think about family, loyalty, how we treat employees, players sponsors and fans, how to build a winning organization. That made this opportunity a very special one for me and my family." Another incident during their Arizona days involving Moorad impressed Garfinkel. Moorad spent half a day advising one of his former lower-level clients about financial matters. "He did it because Jeff had made a commitment to this former client many years ago that he would be there for him," Garfinkel said. That's the kind of principles on which Moorad tries to live. Now 54, he is in it for the long haul. Barring unforeseen circumstances, he says owning and running the Padres is what he plans to do for the remainder of his life. Through it all, he said he's been shaped by his near-death experience. "To this day I'm certainly not perfect," he said. "But I aspire to live my life focusing in on morals and the kind of integrity that's expected."

Leading A West Side Elementary
Wednesday - March 08, 2006
Kaimiloa Elementary School is nestled in a residential section of Ewa Beach. It's part of the Campbell School complex, meaning that after the sixth grade Kaimiloa's students will go on to Ewa Beach's Ilima Intermediate School and from there to Campbell High.
The school enrolls just under 700 students, more than 50 percent of whom are of Filipino ancestry. At 21 percent, Hawaiian and part-Hawaiians make up the next largest group. Children of Samoan ancestry make up 4.5 percent of the student body. No other ethnic group breaks 3 percent.
The parents of Kamiloa's students are not wealthy; 58 percent of the children receive free or reduced-cost lunch. Neither do all of the parents speak English at home. According to Kaimiloa's "School Status and Improvement Report," more than 17 percent of the school's students enter their classrooms with "limited English proficiency."
Last week I wrote about Noelle Hasegawa and Jennifer Silva, two of Kaimiloa's 43-member faculty. Hasegawa, Silva and their colleagues take their leadership from principal Deb Hatada and viice principal Glen Iwamoto.
Hatada and Iwamoto wrestle with sometimes peevish teachers, complaining parents and unruly children. They feel pressure from the federal No Child Left Behind legislation, the new state performance standards, and the mainstreaming of special education students. Add to that the recurrent criticism by various Island politicians of the DOE and its administrators, i.e., folks like Hatada and Iwamoto.
So why do they do it? "Take away all the crap that's coming down," says Hatada, "and there's no other job we'd rather be doing. I love my job. For the most part, the other administrators I know love it as well.
"You've got to see the larger picture. We take our joy from the children. We see the things that happen in the classrooms. We see the kids developing. The joy's there. The negative things are at the top."
Hatada has always been a public school girl. She graduated from Waipahu High, received a degree in English from the University of Hawaii, and taught for 10 years in the Central District. She was teaching sixth grade in Moanalua when she was rccruited for the DOE's administration program.
Hatada started as a vice principal at Kaimiloa, then moved out to Kapolei as a VP to help the community's new high school. Then it was back to Kaimiloa as a principal.
At Kapolei, Hatada found Iwamoto. A graduate of Mililani High and UH, Iwamoto taught English at his alma mater before going to Kapolei as a student activities coordinator. Hatada talked him into becoming an administrator.
"I'm the front of the house," says Iwamoto, "the assistant manager. If a teacher calls in sick, I have to find a substitute. I stop fights, deal with kids who've thrown up in class. I've chased kids across campus, buried dead rats, chased roosters across the yard. It's always interesting. I don't think I'd be happy doing anything else."
When asked if he wouldn't like a school of his own, Iwamoto hesitates. "He wants a "personal life," says Hatada. "He knows I don't have one." Iwamoto admits "I want things to settle down some. All the things principals have to do now. A lot of VPs are not jumping into principal positions. They spend their whole careers as VPs."
The duo recognize the new burdens on the schools. Says Hatada: "Educational reform has caused a lot of problems - chaos in some instances. The concept of performance objectives is good, but it's hard to carry out.
"And there are the demands that the schools do everything - not just educate, but raise the child. That's how it is now, and there's no turning back. Concern for the whole child, the whole family, is something I hope we don't lose in our emphasis on test scores."
Several years ago Kaimiloa adopted a curriculum called America's Choice. It emphasizes staff development and coaching. "Every teacher remembers their first year of teaching - alone in four walls with a classroom full of students," says Iwamoto. "It can be terrifying. In our curriculum, coaches go into that classroom and model for new teachers."
Despite the new burdens of budgeting and standards, Hatada still sees her most important role in "taking care of the culture of the school and socializing teachers to that culture."
If the students and teachers I observed at Kaimiloa are any evidence, Hatada and Iwamoto are succeeding admirably.

wikiHow to Play the Soprano Recorder
Four Parts:Preparing to PlayThe Basic NotesMore Complicated NotesFinding a Song to PlayCommunity Q&A
The soprano recorder has amazing abilities that can form pure notes to amaze your friends. All the same, this instrument may be challenging to play well. This article will help you to move beyond simple tooting into playing lovely music on a much underrated instrument.
Part 1
Preparing to Play
1Buy a recorder. This step may seem simple, but you must chose the correct type. In your music store, there are lots of recorder types. Be sure to buy the one labeled "Soprano". You do not have to buy a very expensive one, since it will not create a better sound as a cheap one. A simple plastic recorder with a cleaning stick is what you want, not a super expensive bamboo soprano!
2Familiarize yourself with the things that came with your recorder. You should have a recorder bag to keep your recorder; if not, you can find a substitute at home, or even sew one. The store also should provide you with a "plastic stick". That is the cleaning stick, which you put tissue on top of the rounded side and push the stick in to clean your recorder. Keep your stick in your recorder bag. If the store did not supply you with that, use water to clean it by running it through the bottom round hole and blowing from the mouthpiece to dry it.
Part 2
The Basic Notes
1Learn the basic notes. You will learn the notes B, A, G, F,E, and D in this category. When you play any note, be sure to cover the whole hole or else the note will be different!
2Start with note B. This one is the most simple note. Simply use your left hand thumb to cover the hole on the back of your recorder and cover the first note in front with your pointer finger. Check for any part of the two holes uncovered, and blow. The note should be high, but not extremely high that it squeaks. If it does, cover the holes again and try again.
3Learn notes A and G. Drop your middle finger on the next hole and blow. The sound should be a bit lower. For G, let your ring finger fall on the next hole and blow. The sound should decrease to form a lower sound. If it squeaks, don't give up, just try again.
4Use both hands now. Don't fret, it's not that hard. Put your right thumb behind the recorder and let your left pinky hang off the recorder. Put your pointer finger on the next uncovered hole and blow. If the F is too high, check all the fingers. After you are done move onto E; just drop a finger and blow. Repeat to play D.
Part 3
More Complicated Notes
1Learn the High C, High D, High E, and Low C.
2Learn high C. For high C, put your pointer finger on the second hole, leaving the first uncovered, and place your thumb on the back hole. The sound should be high, but not yet squeaky.
3Learn high D. High D is played by removing the thumb on the back hole. Use your other hand to keep the recorder from slipping out of your fingers. This sound should be even closer to squeaky.
4Learn high E. High E is just playing a E, but not blocking the back hole. That sound should be almost the same as a squeaky note, but not yet one.
Part 4
Finding a Song to Play
Community Q&A
How do I play high F?wikiHow ContributorUse the "half thumb technique" (it covers more than half the thumb). On a German recorder, cover the first four holes. On a Baroque recorder, cover holes five and six as well.
How can I learn vibrato technique on a recorder?Vibrato is done by moving your jaw up and down quickly as if you were biting notes up an octave.
Ask a Question
200 characters leftSubmit
- Make a tuh-tuh sound when blowing short notes, especially when playing High E.
- Use your left hand on top.
- Make a fuo-fuo sound when playing long notes(make the sound long).
- Clean your recorder every few days(if you play often, which you should).
- Clean your recorder once in two weeks with water.
- Keep your cleaning stick in your recorder bag.
- Practice once every two days at a minimum and review once in a week.
- Listen to others play (be sure they are using soprano).
- Practice in front of friends after you feel confident to(ask them for feedback, too).
- Don't take shortcuts when learning to play your recorder.

Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook answered questions from senators about his company's taxes in a committee hearing Tuesday, Hayley Tsukayama reports:
Cook opened by defending his company against accusations that it uses tax loopholes to shift profits outside the United States and avoid U.S. taxes.
"We pay all the taxes we owe, every single dollar," Cook told the committee.
But senators on the panel, particularly committee chairman Carl Levin (D-Mich.) and John McCain (R-Ariz.), repeatedly asked for more details about the company's operations in Ireland. The senators were aiming to illustrate how Apple's use of foreign subsidiaries could give it an advantage over domestic companies. (Continue reading here.)
Levin accused Apple of "using offshore tax gimmicks" to gain an advantage over other U.S. companies. Apple has been using a complex process to limit the taxes it must pay on its corporate profits, according to a Senate inquiry:
Between 2009 and 2012, the company shielded at least $74 billion in profits from U.S. tax laws by setting up subsidiaries in Ireland under a special arrangement, the report said. While the practice of using foreign operations to avoid U.S. taxes is legal and common among multinationals, Apple's scheme was unprecedented in its use of multiple affiliates that had no semblance of a physical presence, Senate staffers said. . .
One of Apple's Irish affiliates reported profits of $30 billion between 2009 and 2012, but because it did not technically belong to any country, it paid no taxes to any government. Another paid a tax rate of 0.05 percent in 2011 on $22 billion in earnings, according to the report. The U.S. corporate tax rate is 35 percent. (Read the full analysis here.)
Neil Irwin writes that the Senate inquiry reveals practices that are not uncommon:
It is a rare and detailed window into how multinationals juggle their international operations to avoid having to pay the taxman. This report may be about Apple, but the information it contains will sound familiar to anyone who has talked to tax lawyers or studied the 10-Ks of other major companies that do business around the world. . .
The strategies it has pursued are not unique, not at the outer limits of the law, and involve one of America's most prominent and successful companies. As such, it shows just how much work on the corporate tax code there is to do. (Read more at Wonkblog.)
The hearing is part of lawmaker's efforts to reform that tax code, and Cook offered some recommendations of his own. Read more on his proposal here. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) blamed Congress in his opening statement for establishing a tax code that encourages companies to keep money overseas:
"I am offended by the spectacle of dragging in here executives from an American company that is not doing anything illegal. If anyone should be on trial here, it should be Congress.
I frankly think the Committee should apologize to Apple. I frankly think Congress should be on trial here for creating a bizarre and byzantine tax code." (Read Paul's complete statement.)

Entry #1
Hello, two people who will visit my page!
I have my one animation up in the Portal and I'm happy about that. It took me roughly 3 days to complete so I guess that's 3 days well spent.
I've begun working on a Live Action/Animated Fight movie that will hopefully be done before I go to England for vacation. However those chances are extremely small.
I'm going to be uploading some of my songs to the Audio portal sooner or later so be sure to download them when they become available.
Unfortunately my "Emo Hitler" wasn't an internet phenomenon but it does exist on the Art Forum. I like it however so I'm going to display it once again here.
Have a good Summer!

The South Zanesville Fire Department responded to a house fire at 2058 Chewelah Ave. in the area of Dearborn Street around 2:15 p.m. Thursday afternoon. The two occupants of the house were inside when the fire started.
"I was in the kitchen doing dishes. My husband's in the living room sleeping and I head something 'pop.' I thought something might have fell and broke. And I went around the house to see if I can find what's going on and I couldn't find nothing and all of a sudden the house started getting real smoky," said Sarah Stires, who lived in the home.
Stires and her husband, Alfred, discovered the fire in their bedroom and tried to put it out themselves, which Stires said only made it worse. She called 911, grabbed her dog, got out of the house immediately and went to a neighbor's.
"Upon arrival, it was 40% involved into the house. We attacked with initial 3/4 line in the back. Water was an issue due to low hydrant flow so we called in numerous tankers and manpower to assist us," said JT Roberts, a firefighter with the South Zanesville Fire Department.
Roberts says the fire is still under investigation and says the home is considered a total loss.

Kevin Sinfield welcomes Rangi Chase's decision to stay at Castleford
Kevin Sinfield believes Rangi Chase's decision to stay at Castleford is a 'huge boost' for the Super League.
Last Updated: 24/10/12 5:22pm
Chase held talks about a return to St George Illawarra, but a move back to the Australian club failed to materialise and he has agreed to remain at the PROBIZ Coliseum for at least one more season.
Sinfield is glad that his England half-back partner will continue to pit his skills in the domestic top-flight, but admits he will be sorely missed in the autumn internationals after picking up a groin injury on their training camp in South Africa.
"I'm a big fan of Rangi," said Sinfield, who is also the Leeds Rhinos skipper. "I roomed with him last week in South Africa.
"I felt our relationship on the field has grown and grown and it's a loss that he won't be part of the squad for the next few weeks.
"I think it's good for the British game that we can keep hold of Rangi.
"There is obviously a threat from the NRL now with their salary cap increasing and being able to poach one or two of our players.
"I think it's a huge boost that Rangi will stay in our competition."

ETA bomb targets Spanish tourism
Spanish police have defused a powerful car bomb that was primed to explode at the airport in the southern city of Malaga - one of the hubs of Spain's lucrative tourist industry.
ETA, which has been waging a violent campaign for independence since the 1960s, has warned foreign tourists of "undesirable consequences" should they visit Spain this year.
On Tuesday, an ETA member blew herself up and injured several other people when handling explosives in a resort in eastern Spain.
Fifteen minutes to go
It took police some five hours to defuse the car bomb at Malaga airport, which was estimated to contain 50-60 kilogrammes of explosives.
The incident caused chaos at the airport, which plays a central role in Andalucia's Costa del Sol. The region attracts more than one million tourists a year.
The airport's main terminal was closed as were roads in and out of the airport.
Planes continued to land and take off, and newly-arrived passengers were taken to auxiliary terminals where they had to endure long waits before being allowed to leave.
Some flights were delayed, affecting more than 1,000 Britons trying to leave Malaga.
The Associated Press news agency in Malaga says that at one point, the queue of cars trying to get into the airport stretched back 10km (seven miles).
'Remain firm'
The head of Andalucia's tourist department, Jose Hurtado, put a brave face on the ETA bomb.
On Wednesday, the British Foreign Office updated its advice to Britons planning to visit Spain.
"The threat to British citizens in Spain remains low, but British nationals, residents and visitors throughout Spain should be aware that there is a risk," a Foreign Office statement read.
Fears of increased ETA activity grew after a fatal explosion in the resort of Torrevieja, near the eastern city of Alicante on Tuesday.
Police say a 22-year-old ETA activist blew herself up when handling explosives in a flat owned by the parents of another suspected activist.
ETA has claimed responsibility for a series of attacks throughout Spain this year which have included attacks on police and local politicians.

The San Diego Gas & Electric payment and customer service center at 436 H Street in Chula Vista has a habit of closing their drive-thru bill-payment window on the side of the building unannounced. Mothers with carloads of young children and disabled individuals prefer the drive-thru method, yet most of the time they are forced to park their cars and traipse into the building and wait in line for assistance.
On Monday, December 31, the drive-thru window opened up promptly at 9:00 a.m. and took two payments from waiting automobiles; then the window was shut and the closed sign went up. Meanwhile, about six or so drivers waited in line behind the lucky two cars who managed to get service.
I called a manager at SDG&E who apologized when I told her how poorly run that office is. She explained that "lack of personnel forces the window to close" sometimes.

Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California
I live in CA and have bought a car for my ex. She made all the payments to me, mostly in cash, a few checks. The title, registration and everything is in my name, the payments came from my account. Her name is only on her insurance. The car is paid off now.
My ex owes me $60,000 for a business and since I dont see any chances of recovering that money, I want to take at least the car away and sell it. Am I legally entitled to just go there and take the car with me?
2 Answers from Attorneys
No you cannot unilaterally repossess a vehicle under the circumstances you provide.
You will need to reduce the amount owed to a judgment. Once the judgment is entered, you will need to obtain an order from the court allowing you to collect, including taking the car to pay the debt off.
Courts will frown on using self help to resolve this.

He decided to tell me that he hasn't finished the past few times we've had sex. Of course I know this because I have been with him for 14 years and well I know when he's finishing and such.
He told me it was because even though it feels great that he starts thinking about how he hurt me with the A. Then he thinks about the baby and how last time after I had the baby is when he was in his A and he was a horrible husband and dad.
Does this seem reasonable or like a bunch of crap?
Obviously you guys are a lot further out than we are, but I can definitely see his reasoning. Not surprised being pregnant is a bit of a trigger for either of you...I'm pretty sure it will be for me.
OTOH,it could be a bunch of crap.
They just took away the one that takes the edge off the one to make the lovin' happen.
The weird thing is during the day it's hands all over me but once it gets to lovin' time he's not all there.

The University/Resident Theatre Association has made it easier for Actors' Equity Association members to apply and interview for spots in the MFA programs at its 40 member schools in the U.S. and U.K. To qualify for the URTA auditions, Equity members must have earned an undergraduate degree, not necessarily in theater, prior to 2011.
Typically, prospective students at URTA schools must be nominated by a coach, and must attend a preliminary screening audition before advancing, if chosen, to the final auditions. Equity members will get to forego those requirements, proceeding straight to the final auditions without the need for a formal nomination.
"One of the goals of URTA is to bridge the gap between the worlds of the professional and educational theatre," Calvin MacLean, head of the Department of Theatre at the University of Tennessee and artist director at the Clarence Brown Theatre, said in a written statement. "This new initiative is an excellent opportunity for professionals to seek further training, education and opportunity."
The new URTA-Equity application is "an acknowledgement that Equity actors, who have been in the field for a few years and now want to go back for further training, are experienced professionals who do not require audition coaching. And their union membership serves the nominating function," URTA executive director Scott Steele said in the statement.
At the final auditions, peospective students will perform before an audience of school recruiters, who will invite desired candidates for 15-minute interviews later in the day. According tothat Equity members need not worry about being older than their undergraduate counterparts.
"There's near universal interest in building a class of mixed ages," Steele said in regards to the school recruiters who will be present at the URTA auditions.
Schools involved with URTA include Brandeis University, California Institute of the Arts, University of Washington, University of Iowa, and Florida State University's Asolo Institute.
URTA will be offering a promotion to all candidates who submit applications by Dec. 17.

Stevie Bonsey races the powerful Zanotti Racing Harley-Davidson. He's hoping his Harley can challenge the Kawasaki of Bryan Smith, which has been dominant the last two seasons at the Sacramento Mile.
For years riders like Mert Lawwill, Alex Jorgensen, Ricky Graham and Chris Carr gave Sacramento Mile fans homegrown riders to cheer on to victory. Carr, who was raised in Stockton, Calif., was the last of the area contenders to take victory at the prestigious event. Since then there's been a drought of local talent capable of winning the race, but that's changing. Riders like Briar Bauman, Stevie Bonsey, Chad Cose, Mike Rush and Mikey Martin are giving renewed hope that a rider from Northern California will once again stand atop the podium at Cal Expo, when the AMA Pro Grand National Championship makes its annual stop at the California State Fair next Saturday, July 26.
You'd have to excuse Northern California racing fans for maybe getting a little spoiled over the years, especially with Carr being the second all-time wins leader at the Sacramento Mile, earning nine-career AMA Grand National victories at Cal Expo. Carr, along with his former fellow Harley-Davidson factory rider and Motorcycle Hall Famer Jay Springsteen, will be honored at this year's 49th running of the Sacramento Mile for their lifetime of accomplishments. And while the memories of Carr's wins at Sacramento are certainly sweet, a big majority of the thousands of fans who will attend this year's race are from Northern California, and they'd like to once again see a home rider be a contender.
Those fans need look no further than Salinas, California's Stevie Bonsey to find a local leading contender capable of scoring a podium finish at Sacramento. Bonsey is already a two-time winner in the series, having taken national wins on the Half-Miles at Calistoga, California, in 2010 and Tucson, Arizona in 2012. Bonsey races for the powerful Zanotti Racing Harley-Davidson squad and feels he has the chance to earn a solid result at Sacramento this year. Bonsey said of all the mile ovals the series visits Sacramento just might be the most challenging.
"That track is tough," Bonsey said. "It's a real narrow, notch groove. You've obviously got to get a good start and be towards the front at the end of it and hopefully keep those Kawasakis behind me. Bryan's (Smith) bike was pretty much unbeatable there last year. I saw Brad (Baker) trying to get him and there was nothing Brad could do. He kept trying to go under him and Bryan just had a little bit more motor."
With a Zanotti Harley under him Bonsey said he finally has the bike capable of winning at Sacramento. It won't hurt that the Harley-Davidson XR750s no longer have to run intake restrictor plates, so they'll have even more power this year.
"I've got a beautiful bike to ride this year and hopefully I can put it up front," Bonsey concluded.
Another Salinas rider who could be a factor at Sacramento is 2012 AMA Rookie of the Year Briar Bauman. Bauman is racing the groundbreaking Bill Werner-built Monster Energy Kawasaki. Werner was the man who first brought Kawasaki's EX650 to Grand National racing. In the years since the Kawasaki is arguably the bike to beat on the big mile ovals. Bauman, like Bonsey, comes into Sacramento ranked in the top 10 and is poised to score a solid result at Sacramento. Bauman won his first Grand National race earlier this season at Daytona.
"It's a huge," Bauman says of Sacramento. "You show up there and because it's the closest mile we have all your friends and family show up because they want to see it and support you. To be able to do well at that track would be the best, to do it in front of home fans would be huge. I did well on the 450s (Pro Singles) and then in my rookie (expert) year there I broke so I didn't get to race. Last year I think I finished around tenth (it was actually 13th). I think I'm learning as I go and hopefully this year we'll be a little bit further up."
Mikey Martin (No. 91) is hoping to be the first rider in over 40 years to win the Sacramento Mile aboard a Triumph.
Bauman also feels Sacramento is especially tough because of the narrow groove and that brings unique strategies into play in terms of setting up passes.
"It starts out a little like a cushion track, but as the night wears on it becomes a small notched, blue groove we race on all night," Bauman explains. "It's a little tough to pass. You have to really draft well and kind of make the passes aggressive because the notch it so small. Other than that it's a good track to ride on and it's awesome because it's home."
"I know I can do well there," Martin said. "Last year I was the fast qualifier so I'm looking forward to it. It's only 20 minutes away from my house, so I can sleep in my own bed and hopefully wake up and put the Triumph on the podium. I think it's been 40-something years since Triumph's been on the podium at Sacramento. Hopefully I can be the next one to do it."
Other area riders who could be a factor at Sacramento include Chad Cose (Fremont) and Mikey Rush (San Jose). Both are ranked inside the top-20 in the national standings.
Practice for the Sacramento Mile begins at on Saturday, July 26 at 2:15 p.m. and opening ceremonies for the evening program kicks off at 6:15 p.m.

Margaret Thatcher: coverage in full
Margaret Thatcher obituary
Amanda Thatcher, 19, and Michael Thatcher, 24, were pictured with their father, Sir Mark, and his second wife Sarah, today outside Lady Thatcher's former home in Chester Square, central London.
They will walk ahead of her coffin as it is carried into St Paul's Cathedral on Wednesday, carrying cushions bearing the insignias of the Order of the Garter and the Order of Merit.
Later in the service, Amanda will read from St Paul's letter to the Ephesians VI, 10-18: "Finally, my brethren, be strong in The Lord, and in the power of his might." The only other reader at the service will be David Cameron.
Lady Thatcher's children flew into the UK at the weekend from Dallas, Texas, where they live with Sir Mark's first wife, Diane Beckett.
Michael, an accomplished American football player at high school, went on to study at Texas A&M University, and has recently worked for a Republican aligned political organisation that aims to "educate and empower the hispanic community with conservative values".
Amanda, who excelled as a runner at school, is studying at the University of Richmond, in Virginia. Both children are committed Christians.

Sky spy spots climate crises
No hiding place now for those who destroy the forests
By Environment Correspondent Alex Kirby
Almost a fifth of the world's tropical rain forests at high risk, according to a group of international scientists who are monitoring the Earth's vegetation from space.
The scientists, members of the Global Rain Forest Mapping Project (GRFM), say the problem appears to be worst in parts of southern Asia.
The GRFM, launched in 1995, involves teams from Japan, the USA, the European Union and Brazil.
Twice-yearly sweeps
It uses high resolution satellite imaging to look at vegetation patterns and to detect any changes.
The scientists aim to map all the world's rainforests twice a year, checking on natural events like floods and fires, and also on the planting of new forests.
One of the European scientists working on the GRFM, Alan Belward, says: "What we're particularly interested in is developing patterns of tropical forest distribution.
"We're interested in how biodiversity is being affected, and we're interested because the forests themselves have a major influence on global climate".
Besides future trends, the GRFM team has already made a disturbing discovery. It has found places where the forest is disappearing at up to 15% every year.
Alan Belward describes that as "very alarming". He says: "We've found that these hot spots account for about 18% of the total area of the global tropical forest".
Nowhere is immune
"So it is a very significant problem. Every part of the world's forests is affected.
"But perhaps the highest risk area is continental south east Asia, and the least affected area central Africa".
There have been earlier maps of global vegetation. But Alan Belward says they could not match what the GRFM is doing.
"They've come from all sorts of different sources", he says, "with different accuracy levels, and they've been collected over many years".
"With our satellite observations from space, we can get the whole situation in just a few weeks from a single standard data source".
And a further advance is the ability of some of GRFM's satellites to see what is on the ground even when there is thick cloud overhead.

RUSH hour cars were replaced by rowing boats in Oxford's flooded Abingdon Road yesterday, as people staged a flotilla to demand a discussion about climate change.
The flash flooding mob that congregated outside the Duke of Monmouth pub had been organised by resident Jamie Clarke, who is also executive director of the Cowley-based climate change organisation Climate Outreach and Information Network (COIN).
Mr Clarke, 38, who lives on a narrowboat in Weirs Lane, explained: "The gathering is simply local people simply asking: 'Why, when flooding is all over the news, isn't the issue of climate change too?'"
The father-of-two, whose children attend the local St Ebbe's Primary, added: "While meeting and chatting, and even standing at the school gates of St Ebbe's with other parents, people are asking why we are continually reacting to flooding, instead of talking about ways to prevent it – we wanted to voice that concern so we decided to use the floodwater to do it."
Mr Clarke founded COIN in 2004 to spread the word about the effects of climate change.He continued: "Of course while no one extreme weather event can directly be linked to climate change, the patterns we are experiencing of more and worse severe weather certainly are.
"We must start talking about the wider issues and we are hoping this gets people talking."
Other residents taking to the water in protest were the Young family, Fiona, 44, her husband Leo, 42, and children Rosie, 10, Callum, eight and Fin, four, from Friars Wharf.
Mrs Young said: "We were very keen to join in as we are extremely concerned about the effects of climate change and we want the Government and the international community to start addressing it.
"We have been lucky to avoid flooding where we live, but we have friends who have been affected over and over."
Award-winning author and Green Party member Mark Lynas, from Wolvercote, said: "The evidence linking climate change to heavy rainfall and flooding such as we are experiencing now in the south of England, gets stronger all the time.
"Now is the time for people to speak out. We need to support communities affected by flooding, and at the same time we need to mitigate future climate change by adopting low-carbon energy sources."
Mark Lynas
Peter Rawcliffe, of the Oxford Flood Alliance said: "While I don't want to rubbish the issue of climate change, it could be years before people start taking real action and many more before effects are seen. What we need now are measures which are going to have immediate effect, and that is why the Oxford Flood Alliance is putting all its focus and efforts into campaigning for a Western Conveyance."
The £123m river channel would divert water away from Oxford and stop it flooding across the city.

The Power of Patience
The recent series of successes by the PM - the release of Azzam Azzam, the victory in the Likud Central Committee, his rising popularity - is all the result of his "management," which is based on patience and demonstrating that he keeps his cool in crises.
The recent series of successes by the prime minister - the release of Azzam Azzam, the victory in the Likud Central Committee, his rising popularity - is all the result of his "management," which is based on patience and demonstrating that he keeps his cool in crises. After months in which he appeared to be someone not likely to survive to execute his disengagement plan, Sharon now is perceived as a leader who cannot be replaced, the only person who can evacuate settlements and create a political breakthrough. That's how he is being treated in Washington, Cairo, Brussels and, according to the polls, at home. At least until the next crisis.
That patience is not Sharon's natural inclination. He apparently acquired it over his long years in politics. In his book "Bridgehead" (Rosh Gesher), journalist Uri Dan wrote about his experiences in Maj. Gen. Sharon's unit during the Yom Kippur War. This is how he described the first day: "Attack. Attack. That is the thought that completely fills Arik's entire being, non-stop for the last 20 hours. Ever since the war broke out."
Sharon of today wouldn't behave that way. He would wait until his foe is tired before going on the attack.
This is Sharon's leadership style: to wait for the other forces to line up to his advantage and for his rivals to use up their strength, until his position is accepted for lack of an alternative. That's how he brought Azzam Azzam home. When he presented Azzam's release as a condition for allowing Egypt to participate in the political process, Sharon sounded like the biggest peace-rejectionist of all, presenting the Arabs with extreme and strange demands. But the trick worked.
That's how he won in the Likud Central Committee, which approved Labor joining the coalition. The same body that delivered a painful loss to him in the summer now accepted Sharon's proposal, when it understood that otherwise there would be elections. That is how he waited until the last minute before firing master-rebel Uzi Landau from the government - waiting until firing Landau would be greeted with silence in the Likud.
Throughout the political crisis, Sharon and his aides insisted there is no way that Labor would not be in the coalition. The prime minister constantly reiterated that going to elections was entirely up to him and that there was no reason to feel pressured.
In the Likud they asked why he wasted the Knesset's summer recess and did not use it to negotiate with United Torah Judaism. Sharon ignored the complaints and bought UTJ's support at a bargain price. It's true he lost his loyal partner Yosef Lapid, but in his office they were already claiming that the alliance was a weak one, saying "Arik liked Shinui very much, but he loves himself more."
On the way he plucked bonuses like ripe fruits: The National Religious Party quit the government and evaporated as a factor, and Shimon Peres conceded the foreign ministry portfolio and now wants to join the government from a weaker position.
Sharon's delaying tactics have their disadvantages, like in the case of the separation fence, which the premier was belatedly forced to build, and where the lost time led to delays in the project and political losses on the international front. His decision to quit Gaza was also made belatedly, but stretching the timetable seems logical in retrospect. It enabled him to enlist domestic and international support and to weaken its political opponents. Sharon gambled that George W. Bush would win the elections, and meanwhile Yasser Arafat died, and the political arena is the most convenient it has been for Israel in all four years of the intifada.
Sharon is not a brilliant strategist. His advantages are in his ability to identify the weaknesses of his rivals, exploit tactical opportunities, absorb losses and recover, and show discipline in dealing with the media. His ability to keep silent and not respond to every event the way his predecessors did has been and remains a political asset that Sharon benefited from, particularly during the investigations against him. And those who forgot the alternatives to his leadership could see the two self-declared heirs apparent, Benjamin Netanyahu and Ehud Barak, slipping and falling in failed comeback attempts, one in front of the cameras and the other in front of the microphones.

A Bagful of Smiles
Boston Latin School seventh-grader Michael Gross Jr. won himself a cash prize and a trip to the statehouse as the winner of the annual Massachusetts Credit Union League's essay contest. The theme was "people helping" people. Gross was sponsored by the $453 million IC Federal Credit Union of Fitchburg, Mass. The seven finalists were treated to a luncheon and awards ceremony at the statehouse.
"Michael's story titled 'A Bagful of Smiles' touched the hearts of all of us here" said Judy Kaddy, senior vice president of IC, "and ultimately the league as well that cast the final vote."

DJ Struntz trucks up a muddy hog trail to gain some perspective. Photo: Struntz
DJ: A lot of the time you are so fixated on what you are doing, trying to get water shots or whatever else, that you don't have time to do anything else. This was during the contest and I was just running all over the beach trying to get as many angles as I could. Then I was at the O'Neill house and one of the kids was like, "Today would be a sick day from up above." I thought, "Yeah, you're right." So I grabbed my backpack and ran up the hill behind Sunset Elementary School — I'd found a pig trail back there about eight or nine years ago — and when I got up there, all cut up by vines and whatever else on the way, the waves ended up turning on.
I just wanted to show the whole picture of the way a wave comes in on Third Reef and bends. It starts over at OTW, bends around and unloads on First Reef. Not too many sets were doing it, but this one did. Normally it's just action up front and you don't get to see the way it comes through that canyon and over those reefs. There are different spots that guys use, different trails, but this is looking directly over Pipe. I shot this with a 24mm because it was a beautiful day and I just wanted to show Hawaii and the beauty of the whole place, not just the water.
