James Hellwig....otherwise known as "The Ultimate Warrior" to professional wrestling fans worldwide, passed away yesterday at the age of 53.....now before I go much further let me start by saying that yes I totally get it.....pro wrestling match outcomes are pre determined and it's not real yada yada yada.... most wrestling fans, however, (myself included) simply don't care...we embrace it for what it is...which is a male soap opera., massive carnival, and gigantic spectacle all rolled into one bohemath of a show....we value the entertainment aspect to such an extent we are willing to suspend reality....to put it simply for those who don't understand why we follow it.......It's fun.....plain and simple......and the Ultimate Warrior brought something into the world of professional wrestling that went beyond just the showmanship....he brought an energy that was nothing short of electric....he flat out opened doors for people like The Rock.....John Cena.....even Randy Savage....his athleticism combined with his explosive entrances and high volume ring performances that would simply awe entire arenas earned him a well deserved spot in the WWE hall of fame.....Rest in peace Brian....gone yes...forgotten...not a chance.

Try blowing them out with an air compressor. Hopefully there something in the line and its not kinked.
I am starting up a new radiant floor system which seems to have flow restrictions in two loops. Water moves through them but very little came out when I tested it. The man who set up the manifolds said with confidence that blockage in the manifold or in the tubes was unlikely and that it must be a kink. Another man installed the tubes but he thinks it was done properly. Since the tubes are not labeled we are heating the house to see which areas don't warm. The real challenge will be to know where the kink or blockage is. Is there a way to determine this without tearing up all the gypsum board below? I plan on opening the manifold to inspect it for problems before I get too carried away. I will also flush the lines for a while. Any advice?
Try blowing them out with an air compressor. Hopefully there something in the line and its not kinked.
An IR thermometer or an IR camera would likely show something. How well it could isolate the problem, I don't know, but it will show you where the temperature differences are.

Thanks for the ideas. As it turns out the designer/installer misdiagnosed the problem. I took the manifold apart and found that the send flow gauges on this model (which he was not familiar with) were screwed in at different depths which affected the flow individually. This gave the impression of a blockage. There was still a lower flow through one loop but we realized that it was also a longer run with more friction loss so we adjusted the valve on each run to give a balanced flow through each. Lesson learned: check the manifold!

Legend of Zelda
Brings me back to playing Legend of Zelda "ocarina of time" or "the minish cap" on the DS. Of course this is optimized for touch, (some moves require pinch and swipe) but so far it is like the 2D labyrinth of my childhood (how do I get around into that room to get that thing). It's left/right and up/down not 3d into the environment. Well done bringing the Zelda feel to iOS.
Winter of the Melodias
This game is excellent, I bought both for the wii when they came out, and I just had to get them again! The gameplay is intuitive, the story is captivating and it's simply beautiful.
The Best!!
Oh My Gosh this game is epic! A perfect follow up from the first their must be another!!! I think it would be cool if their was maybe a mini game to inhance ones skills, but other then that this game couldn't get any better!!!!!

UMCOR Marks World Malaria Day in Indonesia
April 20, 2010—Starting tomorrow, UMCOR Indonesia will commemorate World Malaria Day with a program of activities aimed at involving students, teachers, and local communities in learning about and preventing the disease.
The effort is part of UMCOR's integrated Sustainable Development in Aceh (ISDA) project, in which 17 schools in two districts, Aceh Besar and Bireuen, participate.
World Malaria Day is slated for this Sunday, April 25, but the UMCOR Indonesia program will extend for the two weeks surrounding that internationally recognized day of learning about a preventable disease that kills more than a million people each year.
Participating students, who range in age from 6 to 12 years old, will perform a skit entitled, "Mosquitoes are Horrible", which tells the story of malaria transmission, signs and symptoms of the disease, what to do once infected, and, most important, how to prevent the illness from occurring. The schoolchildren will vie for parts that include: Female Anopheles Mosquito, Red Blood Cells, Malaria Parasites, and The Heart.
After the play, students will learn the "Slap the Mosquito" song before an UMCOR-trained teacher explains basic facts about malaria and the importance of using mosquito nets. There will be a demonstration of proper bed-net use and a pop-quiz on malaria. An information banner will be displayed on the schools' grounds to disseminate additional information on malaria and World Malaria Day among the students and surrounding population.
These events follow the recently conducted positive-behavior-change training for 34 teachers from the ISDA project schools in rural Aceh, which included training in malaria causes and prevention. The teachers, in turn, will offer the same training to their colleagues later this month.
In all, UMCOR Indonesia's World Malaria Day activities will reach 2,786 schoolchildren, 279 teachers, and 12,999 households with health messages on this preventable disease that continues to infect, impoverish and kill millions worldwide.
About World Malaria Day
April 25, 2010 marks the third World Malaria Day since its inception in 2007. World Malaria Day is a global partnership of governments, international organizations, private sectors and research institutions to provide effective control of malaria, which half the world's population is at risk of acquiring.
The ongoing Roll Back Malaria Partnership campaign, "Counting Malaria Out," seeks to intensify global efforts to reach milestones set by the Global Malaria Action Plan. The initative aims to meet the 2010 target of universal mosquito-net coverage for all at-risk populations and a 50 percent reduction of the number of malaria cases and deaths.
About UMCOR Indonesia
The United Methodist Committee on Relief is a not-for-profit humanitarian aid organization working in more than 80 countries worldwide. Our mission is to alleviate human suffering — whether caused by war, conflict or natural disaster—with hearts and minds open to all people.
UMCOR established its field offices in Indonesia following the December 2004 tsunami. Country operations are based in Medan, with field offices in Banda Aceh and Bireuen.
UMCOR Indonesia continues to help those affected by the tsunami and the 30-year conflict that preceded it. To support these projects, please give generously to Indonesia Emergency, UMCOR Advance #217400.

In The Short Reign of Pippin IV, John Steinbeck turns the French Revolution upside down as amateur astronomer Pippin Héristal is drafted to rule the unruly French. Steinbeck creates around the infamous Pippin the most hilarious royal court ever: Pippin's wife, Queen Marie, who "might have taken her place at the bar of a very good restaurant"; his uncle, a man of dubious virtue; his glamour-struck daughter and her beau, the son of the so-called "egg king" of Petaluma, California; and a motley crew of courtiers and politicians, guards and gardeners.

Children with a parent on long-term military deployment in Iraq or Afghanistan are at increased risk for mental health problems, new research suggests. In the study, published in the July 4 online edition of the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, researchers examined the medical records of 307,520 U.S. children, aged 5 to 17, who had at least one parent on active duty in the U.S. Army and received outpatient care between 2003 and 2006.
During that time period, nearly 17 percent of the children were diagnosed with a mental health disorder. The most common conditions were depression, behavioral problems, anxiety, stress and sleep disorders, the investigators found.
More than 62 percent of the children's parents were deployed at least once during the study period, with deployments averaging 11 months. Mental health problems were more likely to be diagnosed among children who had a parent who was deployed at least once to Iraq or Afghanistan. The risk of a mental health problem among the children rose with increased length of parents' deployment.
"We observed a clear dose-response pattern such that children of parents who spent more time deployed between 2003 and 2006 fared worse than children whose parents were deployed for a shorter duration," wrote Alyssa J. Mansfield, then of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, now of the National Center for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder in Honolulu, and colleagues. "Similar to findings among military spouses, prolonged deployment appears to be taking a mental health toll on children."
In an accompanying commentary, Dr. Stephen J. Cozza, from the Uniformed Services University School of Medicine in Bethesda, Md., noted that as of 2009, 44 percent of active duty military members have children (an estimated total of 1.2 million children), in addition to 43 percent of Reserve and National Guard members. Since 2001, about 2 million U.S. military personnel have deployed at least once.
The study provides "an important contribution to our understanding of a child's health and its relationship to parental combat deployment," Cozza said in a journal news release.
"Brief screening for anxiety, depression, behavioral problems, academic difficulties, peer relational problems, or high-risk behaviors (such as substance misuse or unsafe sexual practices) is warranted and will help identify treatment needs," Cozza concluded.
For more information, The U.S. Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine offers tips for supporting children of a military parent who is deploying. Please visit: http://www.hooah4health.com/deployment/familymatters/tentips.htm .

The YRBS is a bi-annual survey which assists educators and health professionals in determining the prevalence of health-risk behaviors as self-reported by Montana youth.
Get 60 Minutes
Did you know that less than half of youth get the recommended 60 minutes of daily vigorous to moderate-level physical activity? A new interactive infographic from the Institute of Medicine (IOM) shows how students can meet those requirements, based on recommendations from the 2013 IOM report Educating the Student Body: Taking Physical Activity and Physical Education to School.
School Health Profiles
The School Health Profiles helps state and district education and health agencies monitor the current status of school health education; school health policies related to HIV infection/AIDS, tobacco use prevention, unintentional injuries and violence, physical activity, and food service; physical education; asthma management activities; and family and community involvement in school health programs. State and local education and health agencies conduct the survey biennially at the middle/junior high school and senior high school levels in their states or districts, respectively.
Tobacco Use Prevention and Education
The Montana Office of Public Instruction School Tobacco Use Prevention and Education program provides technical assistance and resources to Montana school districts through coordination with the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services.
The purpose of the program is to:
- Expand and strengthen the capacity of local education agencies to prevent and reduce youth tobacco use in coordination with the Montana Tobacco Use Prevention Program.
- Provide technical assistance to public schools by promoting compliance of the Montana Clean Indoor Air Act and in the development of comprehensive tobacco free school policies.

My goal is to help put together a complete list of social media monitoring/listening tools out there on the market.
We all know about Radian6 and Sysomos or even Rapleaf. But what about Infegy or even the new product from the team at Sprinklr. I've been looking for a great list the last few weeks as I'm pitching a few potential clients and couldn't find any. Most lists out there mention a handful of up to 10 applications and that's it. I think this is an important list because it's not a one size fits all solution.
Radian6 is the darling on the market right now and having demoed their product and a few others, I can honestly say that it's a great product. However, maybe the product is too feature rich for your current needs and you want something slimmed down. Maybe you even want to start out with a few free products to help identify your goals for monitoring your brand. Then I'm hoping this list will help us over time. You should also check out these two articles: Free Social Media Monitoring Tools and 19 Free Social Media Tools for Your Dashboard for a list of a lot of the free tools on the market.
[Update] You should also check out Forrester reports below, free PDFs, as it shows the shift in over the last 4 years in the space.
Forrester Wave™: Social Media Listening Platforms, Q2 2012
Forrester Wave™: Social Media Listening Platforms, Q3 2011
Forrester Wave™: Social Media Listening Platforms, Q3 2010
Forrester Wave™: Social Media Listening Platforms, Q1 2009
[Update II] I've also divided the list by continent (where each tools HQ is and not their coverage area as many serve global clients), which should help people looking for something homegrown outside of North America.

text: P.J. Griekspoor How Wild Can It Get? Kansas Viewpoint 86-mph wind shifts, crazy temperature drop just the way it goes in this wild spring Published on: April 3, 2011 The weather wildness can't much wilder than it got today across Kansas. Starting out, high winds and HOT temperatures increased the fire risk over much of the state, and a wildfire that broke out in western Kansas near Satanta, forced the the evacuation of the town. In Wichita, a 90-degree high set a record this afternoon before 45-mph winds from the southeast switched to 41-mph winds from the northwest and dropped the temperature rapidly as rain and hail pounded down with the passage of a cold front. Highs for tomorrow are supposed to be near 50 degrees, a 40-degree drop from today. I'm reminded of an agronomist that I talked to about the threatened Kansas wheat crop. He said the challenged crop has a chance if we don't see wild weather like 90-degree days in May. Hmmm. 90 degrees. April 3. Let's hope this is a blip. Mother Nature, are you listening? We love you. But we need a little more kindness, please, and a little less power.

This is a simple catch. Caught mine in Kun-Lai Summit. You can just find them around that general area, as well as secondaries to other pets. :D Happy hunting!
I just caught one of these little guys as a secondary to a Plains Monitor in Kun-Lai Summit. It was an uncommon. :D One less that I have to collect!
Got this cutie just a little while ago. I found two of them, one poor and one uncommon. Obtaining one seems a simple task, just kill Elder Diemetradons until they are forced to respawn. These hatchlings spawn with them. Happy hunting!
Just got this baby today on my conquest. Just pure luck, one spawned on top of me. Hah!
Here's another one I caught right after reading this site! You guys give great tips. Mine was by the heart shaped lake north of Greenwarden's Grove. I only saw one there, however. He was accompanied by a chicken. Keep up the good work, and good luck to you guys!!
Woot. You guys are awesome... Searched for about 30 minutes today then came online, read this site, then logged on. I went to the area you guys were talking about and found one just sitting there. It was a common quality, but just glad to have this guy in my collection. Thanks for the help! :D

Location: Blue Lake
A Blue Lake gas station was robbed last evening by a man who brandished a handgun. Shortly before 7:00 PM, Humboldt County Sheriff's Deputies and an Arcata Canine Unit responded to a reported armed robbery at the 76 Gas Station on Blue Lake Blvd. Witnesses reported that at 6:55 PM a white adult male entered the gas station and approached the counter. The suspect reportedly brandished a semi-automatic handgun and demanded money from the station attendant. The suspect took an undisclosed amount of money from the cash register and left the gas station on foot.
The suspect is described as a white male adult, with red hair and a full, red beard. He was wearing a gray short-sleeved tee shirt with a red and black circular design on the chest. He was also wearing tan cargo shorts, tan running shoes, and blue "Oakley" brand sunglasses.
Nobody was injured during the robbery. Anyone with information is urged to call the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office at (707) 445-7251.

Anniston police Sgt. Chris Sparks said car break-ins are becoming an ongoing problem in the city.
"We're seeing a dramatic increase in these crimes, whether it be forced entry or unlocked," Sparks said.
Sparks said items recently stolen from vehicles vary from speakers to jewelry to weapons.
A 31-year-old Anniston woman told police she found the rear window of her car shattered Monday, the sergeant said. The car was parked on the 400 block of South Allen Avenue.
The victim reported a set of speakers, worth $100, were taken from the car. The window damage was estimated at $300, according to a police report.
A 59-year-old man living on the 2800 block of McClellan Boulevard reported to police Monday that two back windows of his car were shattered, Sparks said. The victim discovered a set of speakers and amplifier worth $1,150 were missing, according to a police report. The report also noted the car sustained $400 in damage.
Sparks said two vehicles parked on the 2100 block of Thomas Avenue were reportedly left unlocked and had items stolen from them. A set of speakers worth $200 was stolen from a car owned by a 30-year-old woman and a compact disc player worth $80 was taken from a car owned by a 28-year-old man, according to a police report.
The sergeant advises locals to avoid leaving valuables in a car, especially overnight.

Welcome to "Sea Song." Private, peaceful, and directly on the

cottage by the sea in a small 5 unit condo complex (Saltaire). 20
steps to the Gulf's edge! Sea Song is all about convenience.
First floor- covered private parking. Private lanai/patio right
next to the heated pool with pool shower. The lanai has furniture
for dining and relaxing, cooler, beach chairs and toys. No
hauling the beach stuff up and down...makes for a great, easy "day
at the beach". Spiral stairs lead right up from the pool to the
second floor balcony.
Second floor- balcony with glorious views of pool just below and
beach just beyond. Sea Song has it all. A king bed in the master,
a very comfortable Queen sleeper, and two full baths!
The newly remodeled kitchen overlooks the breakfast bar and family
room, all offering wonderful views and sounds of the Gulf. Open the
sliding glass doors and let the Gulf winds blow in! Everything you

Sea Song is conveniently located close to all Tampa has to
offer yet far enough away to enjoy the small town atmosphere of
Indian Shores, home to one of the world's best white sand beaches.
Indian Shores is a quaint little beach town with wonderful
restaurants, friendly locals, a mix of cute cottages and multi
million dollar condos tucked in the middle of it all. Just north is
Clearwater Beach and just south is St. Pete Beach all accessible
using the beach trolly. Sea Song is only 30 minutes to the Tampa

which has everything...Publix, movies, medical facilities, a mall,
Being an artist/decorator, I have really enjoyed
adding my special touches. Sea Song is the perfect retreat for
families, "girl trips" and couples.
There are even a few art supplies there in the unit. Give it a
try. The view is incredibly inspiring! Sea Song!

More than 700 farms and apiaries are Certified Naturally Grown. They're producing food for local communities without synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, or GMO crops. Is CNG right for you? Find out on our FAQ page.
~ Become a Friend ~
We all have a role to play in changing our food system. Please join the farmers and beekeepers at the heart of the movement and become a Friend of CNG. We're also hiring a part-time Member Coordinator in Brooklyn, NY.
Who We Are
Certified Naturally Grown (CNG) is a non-profit organization offering certification tailored for small-scale, direct-market farmers and beekeepers using natural methods.
CNG was born of a commitment to healthy food and healthy soils, and grew out of the belief that we could create something uniquely valuable to family farms and the communities they feed. CNG was founded when the National Organic Program (NOP) took effect in 2002.
Our certification model encourages collaboration, transparency, and community involvement. Our programs are based on the highest ideals of organic farming, and the requirements are reasonable. Many farmers find the peer-review inspection process a valuable learning experience.
CNG producers don't use any synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides or GMO seeds, just like organic farmers. Certified Naturally Grown is an independent program not affiliated with the NOP.
CNG is nationally recognized and endorsed, and it thrives because of enormous volunteer efforts and the commitment of the people who participate. Please join the farmers and beekeepers at the heart of the movement!

As Wearable Devices Hit the Market, Apps Are Sure to Follow
If there's to be an explosion of wearable devices and smartwatches in 2014, as analysts forecast, the bigger question becomes when more apps will emerge that work with such devices.
Thu, January 23, 2014
Computerworld — If there's to be an explosion of wearable devices and smartwatches in 2014, as analysts forecast, the bigger question becomes when more apps will emerge that work with such devices.
[ Wearable Tech Offers Promise (and Potential Peril) for the Enterprise ]
So far, a shortage of apps has been a major shortfall of many wearable devices. Some smartwatches might have only 15 to 20 apps, and they often need to work over Bluetooth to connect to a nearby smartphone. Compare that number to the 1 million-plus apps in Apple's App Store or Google Play for smartphones, and you begin to see the challenge.
[ The 10 Coolest Looks in Wearable Tech ]
[ Wearable Computers: The Next Generation ]
Analysts expects not only an explosion of wearable devices in the next three years, but an explosion of mobile apps of all kinds. Research firm Gartner last year predicted that wearable devices will drive half of all app interactions by 2017, a startling prediction, but one that Gartner believes was reinforced by the flurry of wearable devices shown at International CES earlier this month.
"The level of use of wearable apps is pretty nominal today," said Brian Blau, an analyst at Gartner in an interview Wednesday. "But the new cadre of smartwatches shown at CES and things pinned to clothes [or other devices], shows it is safe to say that there will soon be a way to interact, through a mobile app, that's in lieu of almost any other way of interacting, including the mobile Web or the desktop Web."
Blau said that "virtually all vendors are choosing mobile apps to interact with the way we will use a wearable device." Gartner reached its prediction that 50% of all app interactions will come from wearable devices by 2017 partly because of the way wearables work.
For example, many wearables won't have a user interface, such as a heart rate monitor that is strapped to a runner's chest. Offloading that interface to the user's smartphone also means that the wearable depends on the mobile app for user input and output, configuration, content creation and consumption and, possibly, wireless or GPS connectivity.

Blau said the wearable connection to a mobile smartphone or tablet is a way for a manufacturer to keep the device small and efficient, which reduces the device cost and favors the use of apps that are easy to maintain and update.

Cisco Systems has selected Poudre Valley Hospital as one of only 18 hospitals nationwide to participate in its annual Santa Connection Program.
PVH is the only hospital in northern Colorado to be asked to participate in the program. The viral Santa will visit PVH 9 a.m. to noon and in the early afternoon, starting at 1:15 p.m., on Dec. 18.
The Santa Connection Program allows children to remotely connect and interact with Santa at the North Pole by using remote video collaboration technology. The program was developed to provide sick kids and their families with happiness during the holiday season.
Using a mobile cart and video monitor with Internet-enabled camera technology supplied by Cisco, hospital staff members are able to bring the electronic, interactive Santa either to gathered groups of children in a hospital or to individual patients who may be confined to their beds.
At PVH, the Santa visit will be from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday in Café F, adjacent to the hospital's cafeteria on the lower level.
During this time, the interactive Santa will visit with patients from the hospital's pediatric unit and children from the community who will receive gifts this holiday through the annual Poudre Valley Health System Giving Tree Project (PVHS employees donate gifts to children whose financially challenged families signed up with the Giving Tree Project).
At 1:15 p.m. the viral Santa will be relocated to the hospital's pediatric unit so he can chat with inpatients who were unable to make it to the morning session in Café F.
One of the scheduled pediatric inpatients is a boy, about 9 years old, who has chronic health issues and will be undergoing surgery Dec. 20.
Santa's helpers (PVH employees) will be on hand at the PVH site to give gifts to each child.
Here is a link to a TV news program covering Santa when he remotely visited the Children's Hospital in the Pittsburgh, Pa., area: http://www.wpxi.com/video/21998193/index.html
University of Colorado Health employees dedicate themselves to providing patients and other customers with world-class care and service. Outside organizations recognize that, calling University of Colorado Health's hospitals some of the best in Colorado and even the best in the nation. Some of those accolades are listed below:

The Chicago Sinfonietta, long a national model for promoting diversity and inclusiveness in orchestral performance, is reaching out to whet the cultural appetite of the city's Latino community with a promising new series of concerts in various venues on the city's Southwest Side, beginning this week.
The series is titled "Encuentros" (Encounters) and it embodies several of the priorities put forth in the Chicago Cultural Plan introduced this year by the city's Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events. Its mission is to bring bargain-priced, family-friendly programs of classical music, combined with popular and folk-based fare, to people where they live.
Accessibility is key, according to Jim Hirsch, the orchestra's executive director.
While the sinfonietta includes a great deal of Latin-American music in its series of subscription concerts at Orchestra Hall, "It can be a challenge for many listeners to come downtown to a big concert hall to experience this music. This series is our way to turn that around a little," he says.
"That's why every one of these concerts is an attempt to marry more traditional classical repertory with more community-based, or traditional, music programming. We are looking to find those bridges, the connective tissue, between different styles and eras of music," and a potentially new concert public.
Wednesday's inaugural concert, "Feliz Navidad," will pair the Chicago Sinfonietta Brass Ensemble with the Chicago Children's Choir's Pilsen/Little Village Neighborhood Choir in a program of favorite holiday music and Christmas carols from Latin America. The event, which is being given at Chicago's UNO Soccer Academy in the largely Mexican-American neighborhood of Gage Park, will include a performance by the school's Guitar Ensemble and a tree-lighting ceremony to close.
The Encuentros series will extend the orchestra's partnership with the National Museum of Mexican Art in the city's Pilsen neighborhood and launch new partnerships with the Benito Juarez Community Academy and the Soccer Academy, an architecturally striking charter school that opened in 2011.
"Hopefully the whole experience will add up to something that's got a lot of variety, a lot of texture, and hopefully some fun connections between us and the audience," says Hirsch.
Complementing the concerts will be a series of free community workshops and master classes; information on these will be made available at the orchestra's website, chicagosinfonietta.org.
Hirsch makes no secret of the fact he would be delighted if folks in the city's Mexican-American and other Latino communities are so pleased with what they hear at these Encounters events to seek out the sinfonietta's main stage concerts at Symphony Center and Wentz Concert Hall in Naperville, but he realizes the possibility of that happening lies well in the future.
"We need to develop those relationships over time," he says. "One mistake some organizations make when reaching out to communities they don't traditionally interact with a lot is (to assume) that one or two special concerts will make them beat a path to their doors. We ought to understand that relationships and trust are developed over time and should be done carefully and thoughtfully."
"Encuentros Navidenos," a Christmas program, will begin the Encounters series at 6 p.m. Wednesday at the UNO Soccer Academy, 5050 S. Homan Ave.; tickets are $5-$20; 312-236-3681; chicagosinfonietta.org.
The four-concert series will continue through the season as follows:
• Chicago Sinfonietta Percussion Ensemble, with Chicago's Chiara Mangiameli flamenco ensemble. Feb. 9 at National Museum of Mexican Art, 1852 W. 19th St.
• The orchestra's Project Inclusion Ensemble, with James Sanders' jazz ensemble, Conjunto. March 8 at Benito Juarez Community Academy, 1450-1510 W. Cermak Road.
• Sinfonietta Wind Ensemble with Mariachi Monumental de Mexico in a Cinco de Mayo celebration. May 2 at Benito Juarez Community Academy.
CD of the week
Bach and Beyond, Part 1; Jennifer Koh, violin (Cedille). The Chicago-born violinist Jennifer Koh, who is appearing at this week's Chicago Symphony Orchestra subscription concerts, presents the first of a three-part series of studio recordings based on her recital series linking J.S. Bach's Sonatas and Partitas to modern-day solo violin works. Both Eugene Ysaye's fanciful Sonata No. 2 and Missy Mazzoli's "Dissolve, O My Heart," which deploys sonorous double-stops in intriguing combinations, incorporate quotations from Bach's third and second partitas, respectively. All four works are included on the disc, along with Kaija Saariaho's "Nocturne," a spare study in pitched and unpitched sounds seeking the light of transcendence. Koh's sovereign technical command and probing musicality carry this absorbing program, which ends with an elegantly poised account of the famous Chaconne from Bach's Partita No. 2.

Editor's note: Hooray, four days without Dodger baseball! It's a much-needed break. Today, we welcome back Christopher Jackson of the Albuquerque Baseball Examiner, who did such a good job providing us with an early Isotope status check in April. We talk so much about how the Dodgers have "a lot of starting pitching prospects" without actually looking into how they're doing, so Christopher reviews how the young arms are coming along through the break. -Mike
The All-Star break is upon us. It is boring. Talking about the impending trade deadline is a lot more interesting. For better or worse, most of that trade talk deals with who the Dodgers are going to get, not how they are going to acquire those players. It takes two to tango, after all, and while some in the comments section might pop off with "just trade Jerry Sands for Justin Upton!" it is time to take a more realistic look at what the Dodgers have on the farm at midseason.
Mike did a solid analysis on the plus and minuses of trading No. 1 prospect Zach Lee already. The problem is that after Lee, things drop off fairly quickly within the organization. There is a reason that Stan Kasten and company have been said to be seeking to take on salary relief instead of giving up a lot of prospects that the organization simply does not have.
The Dodgers have a fair amount of depth in pitching, though in most cases potential will have to outweigh current performance. Most of the pitchers have at least been decent, but there are no real breakout performers. The starters at Double-A Chattanooga are heating up enough to potentially generate more interest. The position players have, by and large, struggled and few if any would bring back anything in return.
So let us break down the pitching prospects in the Dodgers system besides Lee and those prospects up with the Dodgers (e.g. Eovaldi, Van Slyke). All the rankings come from Baseball America.
No. 2 Allen Webster: This season has been a mixed bag for Webster, whose record (3-8) with Chattanooga is not really indicative of how he has pitched. His ERA (4.30) is decent and he has 73 strikeouts to 33 walks in 81 2/3 innings. The Dodgers did move him to the bullpen for five games earlier in the season, but it was temporary and he has posted a 2.25 ERA in seven starts since returning.
No. 5 Chris Reed: Last year's first-round draft pick has gone 1-4 with a 2.52 ERA between Single-A Rancho Cucamonga and Chattanooga. He has struck out 51 in 50 innings spread over 11 starts and one relief appearance. The Dodgers have kept him on a tight pitch count as they stretch him out from college closer to future big-league starter.
No. 6 Garrett Gould: Well, we know the Astros were interested in the 20-year-old in the failed trade for Carlos Lee and the Dodgers are willing to move him. He has the usual Cal League blemishes (2-6 record, 4.96 ERA), but much like Webster, his record is deceiving. He has 77 strikeouts to 28 walks in 78 innings. Gould has arguably the best pure stuff in the system, something certain teams tend to cherish over actual results.
No. 7 Chris Withrow: The most frustrating arm in the organization is scuffling again in his fourth season with Chattanooga. He still walks too many (28 in 45 2/3 innings) and this year has had trouble staying healthy. At this point his future might lie in relief, so clubs that like to have lots of projectable relievers (looking at you, Padres) should have an interest.
No. 12 Angel Sanchez: The 22-year-old Dominican popped up out of nowhere last year and threw well at Low-A Great Lakes (8-4, 2.82, 84 Ks in 99 IP). Much like Gould, he has found the Cal League a tougher go, already allowing more hits (96) and home runs (12) than last season in 16 fewer innings. He could be ticketed for relief if his curveball does not improve.
No. 14 Scott Barlow: Last year's sixth-round draft pick has yet to throw a pitch this season, making evaluating him fairly tough. He reportedly had Tommy John surgery recently, and may not be back at full strength until late next year or 2014, ruining any trade value he may have had.
No. 16 Aaron Miller: A sports hernia limited the southpaw to just 36 innings last season. Healthy this year, walks have been his nemesis (45 in 79 1/3 innings) with Chattanooga. His fastball velocity has dropped since he was drafted in 2009, a warning sign to most teams to stay away.
No. 17 Ethan Martin: Withrow's rival for most perplexing has bounced back, somewhat, from a dismal 2011 campaign. He leads Chattanooga in ERA (2.99), but like Miller has been held back by walks (49 in 93 1/3 innings). Command has always been Martin's biggest issue and despite the shiny ERA this year, it is clear he has still not turned the corner.
No. 23 Ryan O'Sullivan: The younger brother of former Royal Sean O'Sullivan, Ryan has already jumped from Great Lakes to Rancho Cucamonga this season. He has now made 15 relief appearances to nine starts, but the Dodgers view him as a potential starter down the line. O'Sullivan has a history of injuries at the college level.
No. 24 Josh Wall: The Isotopes closer has an above-average slider and a fastball he seems almost afraid to command. He coughed up three home runs in one inning in his final appearance of the first half on Sunday. If Wall could regain his confidence in his fastball he could at least be another cheap bullpen option, though he is likely a middle reliever/set-up man at the next level.

EAST LANSING, Mich. - Sophomore Kyle Stacks finished in the top 10 and junior Krista Parks in the top 25 for Central Michigan's men's and women's cross country teams, respectively, at the Spartan Invitational at the Forest Akers East Golf Course on Friday afternoon.
Stacks was the top sophomore with a ninth-place overall finish in the team's first 8k race of the season in 25:07, while Parks paced the women with a 22nd place finish in 21:55 in the women's first 6k race. Each of the races featured more than 300 runners, easily the largest races in which the Chippewas have competed. Both races were unscored.
"We had some okay things happen, but it wasn't exactly what we expected," director of track and field and cross country Willie Randolph said. "We need to have the pack run closer together, so we have some things to work on. We're going to take it one step at a time at the beginning and focus on being ready at the end. We learned some things today and we're going to focus on being ready to go when it counts."
Senior Jason Drudge worked his way up through the pack throughout the race to finish 19th in 25:20. Senior Matt Lutzke finished 51st in 25:55, followed closely by sophomore Ethan Lievense in 25:58 (57th), sophomore Tanner Pesonen in 26:02 (63rd) and redshirt freshman Nate Ghena in 26:03 (67th).
Eastern Michigan's Terefe Ejigu won the men's race in 24:28.
On the women's side, freshman Bailey Parmelee finished 47th in 22:35 in her first career 6k race. Senior Maddie Ribant crossed the line 60th in 22:46, and sophomore Kelly Schubert finished 77th in 22:56.
Unattached runner Sara Kroll won the women's race in 21:10.
The Chippewas will send a smaller team of runners to the Northwood Open next Saturday before traveling to Minnesota for the Roy Griak Invitational the following Saturday.
