First race
Graham Motion's day got off to a good start when he saddled a winner in the first race. Technique, who went off at 7-1 and was ridden by Edgar Prado, won by at least two lengths.
Technique paid $14 to win.
Second race
Katherine Sancuk's No Brakes rallied from next-to-last to win the $25,000 Deputed Testamony Starter Handicap, the first of nine stakes on Preakness Day.
Xavier Perez rode the 6-year-old gelding — who finished fifth in the race last year and was claimed for $5,000 by his present connections in March — pulled ahead near the 16th marker and narrowly beat Money For Love to the finish.
"I claimed this horse specifically for this race," said Sancuk, the owner and trainer. "He runs hard every time. He gives you a heart attack because he was so far out of it. It scared me to death."
Third race
Motion earned his second win of the day, this time with Golden Causeway, which was ridden by Ramon A. Dominguez and paid $6.
Fourth race
Super Espresso, owned by celebrity chef Bobby Flay, swept around the pack and roared down the stretch to win the $100,000 Allaire DuPont Distaff Stakes at Pimlico.
Jockey Ramon Dominguez rode Super Espresso past Payton d'Oro near the wire to win by three-quarters of a length.
Super Espresso had struggled on turf in her last race.
"If you take out her last race on turf, she's been a steadily improving filly," trainer Todd Pletcher said. "She trained well leading up to this, so we're not shocked that she ran well."
Dominguez was concerned that he would not reach Paton d'Oro, who had a clean trip, but Super Espresso had enough left at the end.
"She ran just the way Todd expected," he said. "She's got a beautiful long stride on her and I just kept her together. They went quick enough early on where it was helpful, but she just continued coming. I don't feel like they were really collapsing in front of her. She was closing."
Fifth race
Toni's the Won was, in fact, the winner. Ridden by Julian Pimentel, the Kieron Magee-trained entry beat Perfect Measure in a photo finish, and paid $10.20.
Sixth race
Vengeful Wildcat caught pacesetter Chipshot and took the lead in mid-stretch to win the $100,000 Chick Lang Stakes.
Under Jockey Carlos Marquez Jr., Vengeful Wildcat prevailed by a neck in the spring for 3-year-olds. A winner of three races in five starts, Vengeful Wildcat is trained by Ben Perkins Jr., and paid $6.40.
"He's a pretty honest little sucker," Perkins said. "Carlos fits him well. He knows the horse completely. He broke well and ran well. He's a very tractable horse."
Marquez Jr. knew that he had a horse who could run anywhere on the track, and was able to find the fastest part of the track.
"This is a horse you can put pretty much anywhere," he said. "I've been watching the races since [Friday]. You can close, but the speed just isn't holding and the inside isn't the best spot. So I tried to put him on the best part of the racetrack. Turning for home, he switched leads. When he put his head in front, I knew it was ours. Each time he gets better and better."
Seventh race
Chinglish, ridden by Animal Kingdom jockey John Velazquez, won the $100,000 James W. Murphy Stakes, edging Humble and Hungry by almost three lengths.
Trained by Mark Hennig, Chinglish paid $19.60.
"I was pretty confident when I saw him going around the first turn, because he was a lot closer than he's been in some races," Hennig said. "He'd been a bit of a clown in his early races, but the blinkers helped with that."
Eighth race
Ventana, trained by Bob Baffert, prevailed down the stretch to win the $100,000 AMResorts Maryland Sprint Handicap.
The win was not without controversy. Second-place jockey Travis Dunkelberger, who rode Immortal Eyes, claimed that Martin Garcia had interfered during the late stages of the stretch run. The stewards did not rule in his favor. Ventana won by a neck and paid $5.20.
"I think the other horse and I were pretty close, but I corrected right away," Garcia said. "It looked like I had contact, but I really didn't. It's been a while since I won on him, so it felt good."
Ninth race
No Explaining came off the rail to win the $100,000 Omnilife Gallorette Handicap on the turf.
Shared Account, who last year pulled off the biggest upset in the history of the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf, closed from off the pace but ultimately finished fourth in her 2011 debut. Owned by Under Armour founder Kevin Plank (Sagamore Farms) and trained by Motion, she gave up 10-13 pounds.
John Velazquez got another win aboard No Explaining, who paid $8.80.
"It was a perfect trip," he said. "There were a couple of speedy horses in there and I had to bide my time thinking that the good horses are coming from behind anyway. At the quarter pole, I put her in the clear and she put in a good fight. She was much better today than when I rode her last year, definitely. She was more professional, more willing to do it and handled the track much better."
10th race
Apart overtook Colizeo down the stretch to with the $100,000 William Donald Schaefer Memorioal by a neck.
Jockey Garrett Gomez, who also won the race last year, circled three wide into the lane to overtake Colizeo, a Todd Pletcher-trained entry who led from the beginning.
"I wanted to sit back a little and just make one run with him," Gomez said. "When the pace slowed down a little to my liking, I was able to edge up a little closer to [Colizeo]. I always felt I had him within range. He traveled well. When we turned for home, I felt pretty good. I just had to reach down and give him a little love tap to make sure he didn't fall asleep."
Apart is a four-time stakes winner.
11th race
Paddy O'Prado rallied from last in a slow-paced field to win the $200,000 Dixie Stakes.
Kent Desormeaux had the gray colt drop back at the start of the 110th running of the Dixie, but pushed him around the far turn. Paddy O'Prado caught frontrunner Baryshnikov and won by one-and-a-half lengths, paying 3.20.
Paddy O'Prado, who finished sixth in last year's Preakness, was saddled by Dale Romans, the trainer of this year's winner Shackleford.
"I wasn't comfortable until they hit the wire," Romans said. "He's amazing. It makes no difference — Grade 1 race on Poly, the Classic on dirt, multiple-stakes wins on turf — he's just a phenomenal horse. This is the start of a great year, I hope."
13th race
Sacred Soul took a wide far turn before taking the lead midstretch and running away from the field to edge out Sunshine Law with Edgar Prado in the final race of the day.
Sacred Soul, with Jonathan Joyce aboard, paid $8.20 to win.

Webmonday in Berlin
For people, who would like to get to know the Berlin Web and Free Software crowd and also meet nice people and have a cold beer, I recommend the webmonday, Webmontag, at new.thinking. The founders of new.thinking and hosts of the events are Andreas Gebhard und Markus Beckedahl. The new.thinking store is located in the very center of Berlin, Berlin Mitte, in walking distance from Oranienburger Strasse and Hackescher Markt. The beverage prices are very reasonable (the event itself for free).
Of course there are presentations, for which you can put your name down in a Wiki and then you have the chance to present your ideas, your questions or success stories to an interested audience.
I met an interesting mixture of innovative companies as barcoo, fresh ideas – yes, I could imagine paying 3 EUR/month for a very good blog about Berlin – and Networking offers in and with Asia by a nice Berliner (Mario Behling).

ETSU opens A-Sun play at Lipscomb Friday
The ETSU softball team looks to do just that when the Lady Bucs hope to change their losing pitches to winning ways, as the Blue and Gold open Atlantic Sun play Friday evening at Lipscomb. First pitch of the doubleheader is set for 5 p.m. (Eastern) at Draper Diamond.
ETSU (9-17) has lost six straight and 13 of their last 15 games; however, a new season begins this weekend as the top six teams become eligible for the Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament this May in DeLand, Fla.
Senior shortstop Cheniece Cason (
Lipscomb (20-7) will be a major test for ETSU, as the Lady Bisons were selected the league favorite in the preseason coaches' poll; while also receiving votes in both top 25 polls. The Lady Bisons are currently leading the conference in hitting (.315) and third in pitching (1.66 ERA).
Individually, Lipscomb is led by senior infielder Abby Keese - who is hitting .407 (33-81) with seven doubles, seven home runs and 20 RBI; while sophomore pitcher Whitney Kiihnl leads the pitching staff. Kiihnl, last season's Freshman of the Year, is 14-2 with a 0.87 ERA (12 ER/96.1 IP) in 19 appearances (nine starts).
On Saturday, ETSU will wrap up its

Video: John Wooden talks about basketball, life and death
June 4, 2010 | 7:33 pm
With the passing of legendary UCLA basketball coach John Wooden, it seems appropriate for all of us to be reminded one more time that he was as much a life coach to his players as he was a basketball coach.
This is one of a series of Fabulous Forum videos in which Wooden discusses his philosophy of life.
If you have a kid who wants to be an athlete, you might want to ask them to pull up a chair and watch for a while.
John Wooden talks about basketball, life and death:

Two weeks ago we printed a recipe for what possibly could be "First Lady Steak," requested by Tom in Long Beach. It was a recipe his mother used to make that he thought might have come from Lady Bird Johnson, and might have run in Parade magazine. We had pleaded with him numerous times for more details, since we had no luck finding an exact match, but, alas, he never got back to us.
In the meantime, an awesome reader named Jeannine in Glendale decided to do her own sleuthing, and actually contacted the LBJ Presidential Library in Austin, Texas.
Sadly, the library staff wasn't able to find it either. But the staff did send us a beef recipe that is quite reminiscent of the one we printed, in that it also includes mushrooms.
However, this recipe is far from economical, calling for tenderloin instead of round steak, as well as bacon and fresh mushrooms.
Our guess at this point is that whatever publication Tom's mother originally got her recipe from was riffing on Lady Bird Johnson's fancier recipe to make it more accessible to the masses. It certainly has a '60s vibe with its prominent use of canned mushroom soup. We print the first lady's more elegant recipe below, and give many thanks to Jeannine and the archivists at the LBJ Presidential Library.
Mrs. Lyndon B. Johnson's Fillet of Beef
1 (4- to 5-pound) beef tenderloin, trimmed
14 to 16 slices bacon
1/2 pound fresh mushrooms
3 tablespoons butter or margarine
Fresh parsley sprigs
1. Place tenderloin on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Turn narrow end under to make roast more uniformly thick.
2. Wrap bacon slices around tenderloin to completely cover. Secure each slice with a wooden toothpick. Insert meat thermometer if desired.
3. Bake, uncovered, at 400 degrees for 35 minutes, or until thermometer registers 140 degrees (rare).
4. Clean mushrooms and remove stems. Saute caps in butter over low heat for 5 minutes.
5. Cut tenderloin into 1-inch slices and arrange on a heated platter. Serve with sauteed mushrooms. Garnish with parsley.
Serves 12-15.
– From the "Red Book," aka Mrs. Johnson's LBJ Ranch Cookbook, via Jeannine in Glendale

Geeta Games' upcoming point-and-click adventure title, Lilly Looking Through, has garnered quite a bit of press as it nears its release. The game was successfully Kickstarted through a crowd-funding campaign and it even managed to pass favorably through the community hands on Steam's Greenlight service. The game features Lilly, the lead protagonist who has to save her little brother while also being able to teleport to different locations whenever she puts on mysterious goggles. The game has a vibrant art-style and has received quite a bit of praise from the gaming press.
Thanks to the kind folks at GOG.com, we had a chance to partake in a Q&A with the husband and wife team developing the game, Steve Hoogendyk and Jessica Hoogendyk, to find out a bit more about this unique adventure title. Check it out below.
Gaming Blend: The art style and character designs in Lilly Looking Through really stand out. The game has what's best described as an "enchanting" design scheme. Where did you get the inspiration for the art and characters?
Geeta Games: Many of our ideas come from trying to observe our world with fresh eyes. We have always had a keen interest in exploring nature and the limitless mysteries on Earth, which ultimately inspire the ideas for Lilly and her world. The inspiration for our character Lilly actually came first. It started when my wife Jessica and I had been brainstorming ideas for creating our own adventure game. At one point, our daughter began wearing these swim goggles on top of her head. When Jessica emailed me a photo of our daughter wearing them, I instantly thought that would make a really fun game character. So maybe it was Jessica's idea and she just let me connect the dots. Then, once we had the idea of what these enchanted goggles on Lilly's head could do, things really began to fall into place. The look and art style we chose really comes from old Classic Disney Animated films like Bambi and Snow White. If you look at just the painted backgrounds for those films they are breathtaking, and you don't see as much of that in games or film anymore.
Gaming Blend: There seems to be a resurgence of the point and click genre lately and many of them are being well-received by the gaming community. At what point did you decide you wanted to make a point-and-click title and when did development get underway for Lilly Looking Through?
Geeta Games: Ever since Myst came out in 1993, I've had a real desire to create my own adventure game. I've attempted to make two other games along the way and Lilly Looking Through is really my third go at it.
The seed of the idea for Lilly Looking Through began in 2009, and we started working full time on the project in 2011. We are thrilled that this game is finished and will be released on November 1st.
Gaming Blend: How long is the game estimated to be, play-wise?
It's always hard to determine how long a game is play-wise. Every person seems to play adventure games in a different way and depending on how often they use the help button, we would estimate anywhere from about 4-6 hours. It's funny because in other mediums like books or movies "play time" might seem like an odd question. Our main goal in creating Lilly is that people really get lost in her world and absolutely enjoy the time they spend there.
Gaming Blend: Are there multiple routes, branching pathways or various endings to the game? Or is it a more traditional, character-driven point-and-click title with a singular story to tell?
Geeta Games: When creating Lilly Looking Through we've always talked about it as if the player is actually helping Lilly on this adventure. Lilly has a specific journey that unfolds, but she needs your help along the way. So while there are many twists to our tale, we do have a singular story to tell.

Two recent studies lay out compelling scenarios under which virtually all of the world's energy needs could be met with renewable energy sources by 2050. But despite their similar end goals, the energy futures foreseen in these two reports—published by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and a team of university scientists, respectively—are vastly different.
WWF's The Energy Report, published last week in collaboration with Ecofys, a Dutch think tank specializing in renewable energy, concludes that it is technologically and economically feasible for 95 percent of all energy to come from renewable sources by 2050. The authors argue that such a transformation would even be cheaper than relying on conventional, carbon-intense energy sources.
Meanwhile, Mark Z. Jacobson from Stanford University and Mark A. Delucchi from the University of California at Davis have written an ambitious two-part paper titled "Providing all global energy with wind, water, and solar power," soon be published in Energy Policy. The study concludes that the electrification of all energy sectors can lead to a fully renewable energy supply by as early as 2030, or—if political and social obstacles are taken into account—by 2050.

Three 49ers vets restructure to help with Bowman deal
The 49ers used a little teamwork to get linebacker NaVorro Bowman's extension done this week.
According to Matt Maiocco of CSNBayArea.com, the 49ers restructured the contracts of tight end Vernon Davis, cornerback Carlos Rogers and defensive lineman Ray McDonald to create the short-term cap room they needed to do the extension now.
Bowman's signing bonus caused his 2012 cap number to jump $1.5 million immediately, so they went to the veterans for a little relief to cover the difference.
Players are usually happy to do this kind of deal, since it results in cash now, and it allowed them to keep a rising star under contract through the 2018 season.

STOCKTON - Dolores Huerta returned to the city of her childhood Saturday morning to celebrate the man whose life is forever intertwined with hers.
STOCKTON - Dolores Huerta returned to the city of her childhood Saturday morning to celebrate the man whose life is forever intertwined with hers.
At the start of the weekend's Cesar Chavez Day celebration, Huerta spoke at a morning breakfast and then helped start a parade in honor of the late civil rights champion.
She helped Chavez establish the United Farm Workers in 1962.
Tim Hernandez, winner of 10 literary awards, also spoke at the breakfast, a fundraiser for the Mexican Heritage Center. He signed copies of his latest book, "Ma�ana Means Heaven."
The winding two-hour parade took walkers through downtown Stockton with several "stations" commemorating Chavez's commitment to nonviolent civil disobedience in the fight for farm worker rights.
Young people involved with the League of United Latin American Citizens' Theatro de Paz mimed at the various stops.
Each "station" symbolized aspects of the movement to organize farm workers:
� Sutter and Market: Farm workers united.
� Human Services Agency: Fasting by Chavez.
� St. Mary's Church: The Virgin de Guadalupe was remembered as the movement's spiritual symbol.
� San Joaquin County Courthouse: Civil disobedience remains a tool for social justice.
� Stockton City Hall: Legislation was enacted five decades ago as a result of the movement.
� Bracero Monument: Education is still recognized as crucial to Latinos and society as a whole. Marchers paused and sang "De Colores."
The parade ended at the Regal City Centre Stadium 16, where marchers who had yet to see the new movie, "Cesar Chavez" were encouraged to do so.

Ray Lewis returns to practice
Owings Mills, MD – Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis returned to practice on Wednesday and hopes to play again this season.
Lewis has been sidelined with a torn triceps, which he suffered in a Week 6 game against Dallas back in October. Lewis had surgery almost immediately and was placed on injured reserve with a designation to return.
The 17-year veteran linebacker released a statement upon his return to the practice field on Wednesday.
"I'm making progress and will practice some today," Lewis said. "But, the story shouldn't be about me right now. We're playing the Redskins Sunday, and I am not eligible to play. If I can help prepare my team in some way for that game, I will. When I know I will play in a game, or when I play in game, I will say more then.
"For right now, I am excited to be back on the field, and I do plan to play again this season. We'll see how I continue to progress from here."
Lewis is not eligible to play until Dec. 16, when the Ravens host the Denver Broncos.
Meanwhile, outside linebacker Terrell Suggs will try to play through a biceps tear in his right arm. He suffered the injury in Sunday's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year will be a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the Redskins.
Suggs missed the first six games of the season after suffering a partially torn Achilles tendon in the offseason.
The Ravens sit at 9-3 and hold a two-game lead over Pittsburgh and Cincinnati for first place in the AFC North.

Stock Woolstencroft have won planning permission for a residential led, mixed-use development at Bow Common Lane, East London, following extensive consultation and negotiations with planners.
The development comprises 157 units (of which 37% will be affordable housing) and 868 sq m commercial space. It will range from three to 12 storeys, in two blocks arranged either side of a central, innovatively landscaped, south-facing courtyard. The tower will benefit from views across Bartlett Park (also scheduled for major improvement and expansion), and the amenity space that opens onto the canal-side will allow for the future opening of the towpath, to promote links between nearby green spaces. At the rear of the courtyard is a raised podium deck, which is accessed at first-floor level and forms an additional landscaped area for residents, incorporating a children's play area.
In addition to designing a scheme which will contribute to the regeneration of the local community, Stock Woolstencroft have endeavoured to introduce a variety of sustainable elements into the plan: green and brown roofs installed across the development and canal wall will contain timber cladding to enhance the ecological value of the waterfront and allow indigenous fauna and flora to establish naturally. Furthermore, it is proposed that the biomass communal heating system will be fuelled by wood pellets, to meet the Greater London Authority's (GLA's) 10% renewable energy source target.

Hooksett's choices: Leave them to parentsEDITORIAL
March 15. 2014 9:31PM
After defeating a tuition contract with Pinkerton Academy on Tuesday, Hooksett has numerous high school options. All parents should be so lucky.
Hooksett, which tuitioned its high school students to Manchester for more than a century, grew frustrated with the city's schools in recent years and declared the city in breach of contract in 2012. The result was a settlement that let Hooksett out of its contract this year. The town school board then swiftly sought and obtained a long-term contract with Pinkerton Academy, but voters resoundingly rejected it last week.
Hooksett has options now. Manchester is only one of many choices. The town could ink a deal with Bow, Pembroke Academy or Londonderry. It might negotiate a Pinkerton contract that voters would approve. If Manchester wants Hooksett's students, it will have to compete for them.
And that is a positive development. Competing for students is how all schools should operate. It would improve the schools and better serve the students.
Outgoing Hooksett School Board member Phil Denbow said after the election, "So this board is going to have to do a lot of work to figure out where the majority wants to go because at the end of the day, you have to have a plan."
Do you? Does the municipal government have to herd all students to the same school?
Hooksett has no high school. There is no reason why the town must cut a deal to send all Hooksett high school students to the same school.
The board could work out tuition deals with multiple school districts and let parents choose the one they like best. Or even better, it could give parents vouchers to use at the school, public or private, that best suits their children.
In a town with no high school, why should the school board have the authority to make everyone attend the same out-of-town school? Let the parents pick.

What better way to say, "I love you," than with a Windows Phone? Verizon will reportedly be offering their Nokia Lumia 822 in red and for under $50. The already available black, grey and white models sell for $49.99 with a two-year contract, so we likely won't see a price drop. No precise date has been given yet for he red Lumia 822, so keep an eye out for it.
The 4G Lumia 822 is a sharp mid-range offering by Nokia. It has a 4.3-inch screen, 1.5Ghz dual-core processor and 8MP Carl Zeiss rear camera. The onboard 16GB of storage is expandable via a MicroSD card slot, which can add an addition 64GB.
Verizon will also be offering up a Motorola RAZR M in pink for Valentine's day.

MORRISTOWN, N.J. (AP) — A New York Jets linebacker has entered a pre-trial probation program that could help him get assault and drug charges dismissed.
Bryan Thomas appeared in state Superior Court in Morris County on Monday.
Thomas was arrested last fall and charged with assaulting his wife and possessing drug paraphernalia and painkillers.
Thomas's lawyer says his client has been admitted into a 24-month pre-trial intervention program. If Thomas completes the program successfully, the charges will be dismissed and the record sealed. He likely will be required to undergo counseling.
Attorney Joseph Tacopina says Thomas also will have to perform 100 hours of community service.
Thomas, the Jets' longest-tenured player, was released by the team last September but re-signed two days later and finished out the season, his 11th with the team.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A legal battle over a dog that killed a Nevada toddler has ended with authorities turning it over to an animal rights group, officials said.
The 120-pound mastiff-Rhodesian mix named Onion became the focus of a dispute after it fatally mauled 1-year-old Jeremiah Eskew-Shahan nearly two years ago.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported Thursday night (http://bitly.com/1eX7bys ) that the city of Henderson, which had sought to euthanize the animal, instead gave it to the New York-based Lexus Project.
City officials said in a statement that they decided to give up the court fight "in an effort to spare family members the grief of reliving the tragic events of the dog attack."
Lexus president Robin Mattasch said the dog "has been relocated permanently to a rescue." She declined to say where, but said it would not be to the Colorado sanctuary mentioned earlier.
Jeremiah's family had been celebrating his birthday on April 27, 2012 when the child tripped and fell on the dog while it was sleeping in a dark room. The boy lifted himself up by the dog's ears and the startled animal grabbed and shook him, causing fatal head and facial injuries.
The city declared the dog vicious and the owner turned him over to be euthanized. But the Lexus Project intervened, saying Jeremiah's grandmother, the dog's owner, had changed her mind and wanted to release the dog to the group.
In December, the Nevada Supreme Court returned the case to Clark County District Court to determine the facts of the case. At issue was whether owner Elizabeth Keller voluntarily surrendered ownership to the city.
"Family members would have been required to testify and relive the horrible details of that day," city spokesman Bud Cranor said in a statement.
The statement said that the Lexus Project indemnified the city of future liability for the dog. The city is also requiring Lexus to pay for a memorial for Jeremiah that will go in a Henderson park.

These are the first three entries in Naxos' Bruckner cycle, which features Georg Tintner, an eighty-year-old Viennese-born conductor, until now virtually unknown to the average concertgoer and record collector. How he emerges as a major interpreter of the music of Anton Bruckner at this stage in his career is a miracle of this modern age. His previous obscurity is rather easy to explain: when the insanity of Hitler had reached Austria in 1938 (via the so-called Anschluss), Tintner fled, eventually arriving in New Zealand, and later settling in Australia (1954). Neither of these countries can hardly be described as the Mecca of classical music concert activity, though Tintner remained quite active within them. In 1987, following a stint at the English National Opera, he moved to Canada to assume duties as Music Director of the Symphony Nova Scotia. Somehow, he came to the attention of Naxos (certainly not least because he had become a widely respected Brucknerian), and the result is this on-going cycle of the Bruckner symphonies.
The three ensembles here all perform admirably for Tintner. I especially like the Dublin-based group and am happy to report that Tintner has also recorded Symphony #8 and the so-called Symphony #0 with them. The equally impressive Royal Scottish National Orchestra, however, dominates this series: they've already done Symphonies 4, 7, and 9, and will tape #1 and 3 and the Symphony in F minor, all with Tintner, of course. The masses are also to be recorded, though with whom and when I cannot say.
Overall, this conductor manages to obtain a fairly similar sound from the three ensembles here, though the Dubliners exhibit a richer string sonority and a bit more suavity. With generally moderate tempos, and fairly straightforward readings, Tintner's insightful grasp of the Brucknerian idiom never seems to falter. To many, his interpretive style will call to mind that of Günter Wand in these works, rather than those of the more pointed and muscular Barenboim and Jochum.
In the Second he does not attempt to plumb the depths to find the more profound Bruckner of the symphonies to come. He captures the beauties of this underrated score (in its recently unearthed original version) and delivers its robust and heroic sides in proper measure. All in all, he renders this symphony in just about the best possible light imaginable.
In the Fifth, he serves up a reading that balances the majestic with the subtle, always eschewing any tendency to go over the top, or to wallow in the score's seductive beauties. Most importantly, he demonstrates a fine sense of structure here, without which all talent for phrasing and highlighting of crucial detail would be squandered. In the end, he gives you a multi-faceted Bruckner, unbridled by any self-righteous inspiration to view the music in some new or extreme way. From the quiet pizzicato-bass opening of the first movement on to the glorious, brass-dominated ending of the finale, you hear Bruckner neither fettered by mannerism nor inflated by pomposity, but rendered judiciously yet compellingly.
Though many view the Sixth as a step backward for Bruckner, it emerges here, at least to me, as a great work, perhaps the equal of the other symphonies in latter half of the set. Again, Tintner's unerring grasp of structure and his sagacious sense of phrasing never seem to detour the musical trajectory. The beautiful second movement especially took me, though I did wish for a creamier, fuller string sound.
The sonics are quite fine throughout, and the copious notes, written by Tintner himself, are not only informative and scholarly, but give the reader uncommon insight into the mind of the conductor. He is frank, for example, in admitting his belief that the finale of the Sixth is flawed. He also confesses to inserting a fifteen-bar reduction from forte to mezzo-forte for most of the orchestra in the ending of the Second to achieve a truer balance in the sound. All in all, these three releases mark a most auspicious beginning to an important cycle and constitute, at Naxos' budget price, exceptional bargains.

Beyond Planet Earth Exhibition Opens With Visions of Future in Space
by AMNH on
Beyond Planet Earth: The Future of Space Exploration offers a vision of the future of space travel as it boldly explores our next steps in our solar system and beyond. Future missions highlighted in Beyond Planet Earth—once limited to the realm of science fiction but today discussed by leading scientists and engineers—include building a space elevator on the surface of the Moon, deflecting a hazardous near-Earth asteroid, traveling to Mars—and perhaps even establishing colonies there.
Terraforming by the Numbers
by AMNH on
Long a fixture of science fiction, Mars is now being studied by scientists as a real possibility for manned exploration. And there's already a body of scientific literature about how humans might "terraform" the red planet, manipulating its climate to resemble Earth's. The Museum's new exhibition Beyond Planet Earth: The Future of Space Exploration, opening on Saturday, November 19, introduces visitors to the topic with a multi-touch interactive table that teaches users the steps of terraforming Mars by putting them in the driver's seat of the transformation. Below, some stats on how the table came into being.

Imagine Vegan Café in Cooper-Young said the restaurant is moving and is soliciting ideas for vacant buildings.
"Our landlord decided to not renew our lease so we are now intensely looking for a new spot," read a Friday, Feb. 15, Facebook post. "We ask that everyone please bear with us as things might be a little scattered over the next month or so. Our last day here in this spot is March 31st. We would like to stay in the Midtown area or maybe move over to Crosstown. Overton Square and out East are just out of our budget. If you have any specific ideas as to vacant buildings, please let us know."
Chef Kristie Jeffrey and her husband, Adam, opened the family-friendly, 100-percent vegan cafe in April 2011 in the old Casablanca space in Cooper-Young at 2156 Young Ave. Imagine was one of the four restaurant pit stops at the recent launch for Dishcrawl Memphis along with Alchemy, Tsunami and Cortona, which is now under new management.
Several Facebook users suggested Imagine look at the old Wizard's headshop on Madison Avenue to the west of Kwik Check; the old Fork it Over catering space at Bruce and Young; and Crosstown.
Imagine also commented in a response to a customer, "It's all about money. Unfortunately, money 'rules' the world. He said something about somebody from The Peabody wanting to do something with the space."

A National Rifle Association-backed effort to block public access to handgun carry permits goes too far for Republican Senate Speaker Ron Ramsey, one of the top gun rights advocates in the Tennessee General Assembly.
Ramsey told The Associated Press that the ability to scrutinize the identities of people with handgun carry permits strengthens arguments that gun enthusiasts are worthy of carrying loaded firearms in public.
"Having the handgun carry records open actually helps the cause of the Second Amendment," he said. "Because people can go look at those and realize that they truly are law-abiding citizens."
Ramsey added, "I encourage people like the press to look through these to figure out whether there's something we're missing. When you don't shine light on something, that's when problems are caused."
Ramsey's position conflicts with NRA, which has long called for sealing the records so the public and news media cannot see who has the state-issued permits.
"Members of the media have no business possessing personal information of Tennesseans with handgun carry permits," NRA spokeswoman Stephanie Samford said in an email.
More than 390,000 people have obtained handgun carry permits in Tennessee, or about 8 percent of the eligible population. Ramsey is a chief sponsor this year of a bill to allow permit holders to store their firearms in the vehicles no matter where they are parked.

Bill Parks, an attorney with Wyatt, Tarrant & Combs LLP and the founder and chairman of the Memphis Bar Association's intellectual property and entertainment law section, will present a seminar to the Memphis business community Feb. 19 explaining the nation's new patent law requirements that go into effect on March 16.
The seminar will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. in the McCallum Ballroom in the Bryan Life Center at Rhodes College, 2000 North Parkway. The seminar is free and open to the public.
Parks will address changes related to the America Invents Act, which Congress passed more than a year ago. It will create a new first-to-file standard for patent protection, which changes the current and historical first-to-invent standard that grants the patent right to the first person to conceive of an invention.
Under the new law, a patent will belong to the first person to file a patent application for a valid invention.
Central Defense Security, a leading provider of business, retail and warehouse security, will recruit new employees during a job fair this week.
The event, scheduled for Feb. 20 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., will be hosted at 6084 Apple Tree Drive, Suite 10 in Memphis. The event comes after the firm hosted several successful recruitment events late last year at community centers around Memphis, and CDS was able to place nearly 60 percent of all applicants into positions for clients in and around Memphis.
CDS is looking for candidates to fulfill onsite security positions responsible for protecting client assets, employees, customers and visitors at assigned locations. The firm will also be accepting applications to fulfill temporary staffing openings through its new division, Central Defense Staffing.
Applicants should be at least 18 years old and come prepared to complete an employment application and participate in an interview with a CDS representative.

The Conservative Onslaught
In economic and social affairs we value controversy and take it for granted; it is the essence of politics, its principal attraction as a modern spectator sport. This regularly keeps us from seeing how substantial, on occasion, can be the agreement on a broad range of ideas and policies within which the political debate proceeds.
Such has been the case with economic and social policy in the industrial countries since World War II. There has been a broad consensus in the United States extending to most Republicans and most Democrats. Similarly as between Christian Democrats and Social Democrats in Germany and Austria, the Labour and Tory parties in Britain, Liberals and Progressive Conservatives in Canada. Policies in France, Italy, Switzerland, and Scandinavia have generally conformed. The rhetoric in all countries has been diverse. The practical action has been similar.
There have been three points of convergence. All governments in all of the industrial countries, although differing in individual emphasis, have agreed that:
—There must be macroeconomic management of the economy to minimize unemployment and inflation. This, at least in the English-speaking countries, was the legacy of Keynes.
—There must be action by governments to provide those services which by their nature are not available from the private sector or on which, like moderate-cost housing, health care, and urban transportation, the private economy defaults.
—There must be measures—unemployment insurance, welfare payments, old-age pensions, medical insurance, environmental protection, job safety and product safety regulation—to protect the individual from circumstances with which he or she cannot, as an individual, contend. Much of this last has been thought of as smoothing and softening the harsh edges of capitalism.
No accepted term exists for the consensus which these policies comprise. Keynesian policy refers too narrowly to macroeconomic action; liberal or social democratic policy has too strong a political connotation for what has been embraced in practice by Dwight D. Eisenhower and Gerald Ford, Charles de Gaulle, Edward Heath, and Konrad Adenauer. I will not try to devise a new term; instead I will refer to the broad macroeconomic, public-service, and social-welfare commitment as the economic and social consensus or just the consensus. It is the present attack on this consensus—notably by Mrs. Thatcher's government in Britain and by numerous of Ronald Reagan's supporters in the United States—that I wish to examine.
The ideas supporting the economic and social consensus have never been without challenge. Keynesian macroeconomic management of the economy, the first pillar of the consensus, was powerfully conservative in intent. It sought only to correct the most self-destructive feature of capitalism, the one Marx thought decisive: its tendency to recurrent and progressively more severe crisis or depression. It left the role of the market, current income distribution, and property rights unchallenged. But numerous conservatives, especially in the United States, long equated Keynesian economics with subversion. There was some conservative discomfort when, thirty years after Keynes's General Theory was published and the policy it prescribed was tending visibly to obsolescence, Richard Nixon, in an…

PARIS — Fossilised bones unearthed by a British palaeontologist in colonial Tanzania in the 1930s may be those of the oldest dinosaur ever found, researchers reported on Wednesday.
The bones are either those of the earliest dinosaur or of the closest relative of dinosaurs discovered to date, they said.
A denizen of the Middle Triassic around 243 million years ago, the creature predates all previous dinosaur finds by 10 to 15 million years, the scientists said.
The specimen also points to the possible birthplace of these enigmatic species in a mega-continent called Pangaea, they added.
Dubbed Nyasasaurus, the putative dino was about 80 centimetres (three feet) high, up to three metres (10 feet) in length and had a tail up to 1.5 metres (five feet) long, according to their study.
It probably weighed between 20 and 60 kilos (45-135 pounds).
"If the newly-named Nyasasaurus parringtoni is not the earliest dinosaur, then it is the closest relative found so far," said Sterling Nesbitt of the University of Washington.
Nyasasaurus' name derives from Lake Nyasa — now called Lake Malawi — and from a University of Cambridge palaeontologist, Rex Parrington.
His team excavated the six vertebrae and upper arm bone from sediment in the Ruhuhu Valley of southern Tanzania in the early 1930s.
That location, said the authors, backs theories that dinosaurs evolved in the southern portion of the supercontinent of Pangaea, where Earth's land masses were glommed together before the pieces drifted apart to form continents.
The southern part of Pangaea comprised Africa, Australia, South America and Antarctica.
For decades, the Nyasasaurus bones languished and were never formally documented.
Their true importance has only been made clear today, thanks in part to modern scanning technology which compared Parrington's specimens in London's Natural History Museum against two other Nyasasaurus bones at the South African Museum in Cape Town.
What makes the finds special is that they share many important features of dinosaur bones as well as imprinted traces of tissue showing that the creature grew rapidly, again a dino characteristic.
"For 150 years, people have been suggesting that there should be Middle Triassic dinosaurs, but all the evidence is ambiguous," Nesbitt said.
"Some scientists used fossilised footprints, but we now know that other animals from that time have a very similar foot.
"Other scientists pointed to a single dinosaur-like characteristic in a single bone, but that can be misleading because some characteristics evolved in a number of reptile groups and are not a result of shared ancestry."
The Triassic Period — between 252 and 201 million years ago — not only presided over the rise of the dinosaurs. It also saw the emergence of turtles, frogs, lizards and mammals.
If the new study is right, the reign of the dinosaurs was even more successful than thought.
The "giant lizards" spanned some 178 million years until their lineage was blotted out by an extinction event, presumed to be a giant space rock that whacked into the plant.
The paper appears in Biology Letters, a journal of Britain's Royal Society.

She had been hired to work one-fourth the course load of a full-time instructor one semester at a time, and worked six consecutive semesters, 1980-1983. This is the equivalent of working three academic years as no work is done by full-time professors for more than two semesters a year. Respondent prorated her creditable service but erroneously used a twelve month calendar year and not the nine month academic year that pertained to her work. Case is remanded to make this correction to the calculation. Because this was non-membership prior service, she cannot receive three full years of creditable service.
Pursuant to G.L. c. 32, § 16(4), the petitioner, Julianne Kinsman, is appealing the June 11, 2007 decision of the respondent, State Board of Retirement, using a calendar year and not an academic year in prorating her part-time creditable service she is entitled to under G.L. c. 32, § 4(1)(s). (Ex. 2.) The appeal was timely filed. (Ex. 1.) A hearing was held November 10, 2009, at the offices of the Division of Administrative Law Appeals (DALA), 98 North Washington Street, 4th Floor, Boston, MA 02114, pursuant to G.L. c. 7, § 4H.
Various documents are in evidence. (Exs. 1 - 9.) Both parties filed pre-hearing memoranda (Exs. A & B.) One tape was used. Petitioner testified and presented the testimony of Katie Durso, of the union organization, the Massachusetts Teachers Association's (MTA), who works with the instructors-professors in the Massachusetts community college system. Petitioner also presented the testimony of Sandra Fallon, manager at respondent board who determined petitioner's creditable service for her prior non-membership service. Both parties made arguments on the record.
Findings of Fact
1. Julianne Kinsman, d.o.b. 12/12/46 worked part-time, 1980-1983, at the Springfield Technology Community College (STCC) which is within the Massachusetts community college system. In this job she was not eligible for membership in any contributory retirement system. (Exs. A, B, 3, 5, 7 & 8. Testimony.)
2. Ms. Kinsman was hired to work a semester at a time as an instructor at STCC, teaching one-three credit course. She worked part-time in this job for six consecutive academic semesters. An academic year is a fall and a spring semester each year covering nine months, so Ms. Kinsman worked three consecutive academic years. A full-time faculty member at STCC at the same time worked two semesters a year teaching four-three credit courses each semester. A fall and spring semester is a full-time academic year for professors-instructors at all the Massachusetts community colleges. (Exs. A, B, 3, 5, 6, 7 & 8. Testimony.)
3. Ms. Kinsman was paid from an "03" state account other than for a brief time period during the 1981 spring semester when she was paid out of an "02" account. (Exs. A, B, 3, 5, 7 & 8. Testimony.)
4. During the 1980 fall semester from September 2 through December 23, 1980, Ms. Kinsman worked as a laboratory instructor in the radiation therapy technology department. During the 1981 spring semester from January 18 through April 25, 1981, she was paid as an instructor from an "03" account other than between February 1 and March 18, 1981 when she was paid as an emergency temporary employee out of an "02" account. (Exs. 3, 5, 7 & 8. Testimony.)
5. During the 1981 fall semester from September 8 through December 26, 1981, Ms.Kinsman was appointed a radiation therapy instructor. She held this same kind of instructor position during the 1982 spring semester from January 17 through May 15, 1982, during the 1982 fall semester from September 5 through December 25, 1982, and during the 1983 spring semester from January 16 through May 14, 1983. (Exs. 3, 5, 7 & 8. Testimony.)
6. Ms. Kinsman was appointed to the full-time position of staff assistant in the radiation therapy department with duties as a professor-instructor, starting with the 1983 fall semester and covering the full academic year. With this appointment, she became a STCC faculty member and a member of the State Retirement System. She became a member of the union and her employment has been subject to collective bargaining agreements since then. She continues as a full-time faculty member at STCC. (Exs. A, B, 4, 5, 6 & 7. Testimony.)
7. Ms. Kinsman sought to purchase for creditable service through G.L. c. 32, § 4(1)(s) her part-time prior non-membership service at STCC. On March 27, 2007, with full-time years of creditable service from the 1983-1984 academic year, she filed a Contract Service BuyBack form with the State Board of Retirement to purchase for creditable service her immediately preceding part-time instructor employment covering six separate but consecutive semesters over three academic years at STCC. (Exs. A, B, 5 & 7. Testimony.)
8. In connection with this request for creditable service, STCC informed the State Board of Retirement that between 1980 and 1983, Ms. Kinsman always worked within the two academic semesters each year that full-time faculty work to gain one year of creditable service. STCC informed the State Board of Retirement that each semester involved a separate appointment for Ms. Kinsman. STCC also informed the State Board of Retirement that Ms. Kinsman began full-time employment as a STCC faculty member starting with the 1983-1984 academic year listed as from July 19, 1983 through July 16, 1984. (Exs. 3, 4, 5, 6 & 7. (Testimony.)
9. The method used by the State Board of Retirement to determine the amount of creditable service Ms. Kinsman was entitled to receive involved use of a calendar year or a twelve month time period and not the nine month academic year of a full-time equivalent professor-instructor at STCC. This calculation provided her with four months and fourteen days of creditable service. (Exs. 8 & 9. Testimony.)
10. Ms. Kinsman had sought full-time creditable service for each of the six semesters she worked as a part-time instructor. The State Board of Retirement treated her work as a contract employee entitled to receive only the time she actually worked. Referencing G.L. c. 32, § 4(1)(s), the Board explained in its June 11, 2007 to her:
[E]ligible members of the State Retirement System who worked part-time as
contract employees shall be eligible for creditable service proportionately equal to their part-time service.
(Ex. 2.) Ms. Kinsman was provided with her appeal rights and she timely appealed this decision. (Exs. 1 & 2.)
11. The State Board of Retirement issued guidelines for members seeking creditable service through G.L. c, 32, § 4(1)(s). At number 3 and referenced also within number 4, the guidelines explain that the prior contract service that "immediately preceded" the membership service means it last occurred "within 180 calendar days" prior. At number 8, the guidelines make clear that part-time contract service will "be credited on a proportional basis." At number 9, the guidelines explain that the "cost to purchase contract service is the amount equal to that which would have been withheld as regular retirement deductions for the contract service as if the service had been rendered as a state employee, and the individual had been a member … plus buyback interest on that amount." No provision in the guidelines addresses specifically, a situation where academic years are involved in the prior contract service. (Ex. 9. Testimony.)
12. The State Board of Retirement has a rule on creditable service for prior part-time membership service performed prior to January 28, 1993 based on the ruling in Madden v. CRAB, 431 Mass. 697 (2000) that permits the member the option to receive full-time creditable service using the actual earnings received, or pro-rated creditable service using the full-time salary equivalent. (Ex. 9)
G.L. c. 32 s.4(1)(s), effective as of October 17, 2006, authorizes eligible members in-service of the State Retirement System to purchase up to four years of state contract service as creditable service if the prior service was contract service, if the prior service immediately preceded the establishment of membership in the State Retirement System, if the member already has ten years of creditable service with the State Retirement System, and if the job description for the prior service was substantially similar to the job description of the job that established membership. Ms. Kinsman circumstances satisfy these criteria.
Ms. Kinsman is not entitled to full-time creditable service for her prior part-time service at STCC because it was non-membership service. The State Board of Retirement's rule on part-time creditable service based on the case of Madden v. CRAB, 431 Mass. 697 (2000) is only available for prior part-time membership service performed prior to January 28, 1993. Ms. Kinsman was paid on a contract basis, semester by semester out of a state "03" account, and even for the brief time period she was paid out of an "02" account, that time period did not make her eligible for membership. Accordingly, that service was also non-membership service. She cannot use this pre-1993 part-time service rule to secure full-time creditable service.
In her arguments at the hearing concerning the calculation of her creditable service, Ms. Kinsman seeks to use an academic year of two semesters or nine months, and not a calendar year as used by the State Board of Retirement. This is correct. The findings demonstrate that a full-time faculty member at STCC, as is the case for a full-time faculty member at any of the Massachusetts community colleges, works only two semesters per year, fall and the spring semesters, to gain a full year of creditable service. While the Board does have substantial discretion adopting rules and regulations for determining the amount of creditable service to be allowed for part-time service (§ 4(2)(b)), no such rules have been adopted by the Board that are applicable to the Petitioner's case. The statutory requirement is that "[e]ligible members who worked part-time as contract employees shall be eligible for creditable service proportionately equal to their part-time service." G.L. c. 32, § 4(1)(s). Use of a twelve month calendar year is not appropriate for Ms. Kinsman's circumstances and is not required by either G.L. c. 32, § 4(1)(s), or by the State Board of Retirement guidelines interpreting Section 4(1)(s) as to part-time prior non-membership service. (See, Ex. 9.) While the Board's regulation relating to creditable service for prior part-time membership service is not applicable to Ms. Kinsman's situation, it is instructive. 941 CMR § 2.03(2)(b) provides that "[a]ny part-time employees eligible for membership in the State Retirement System who become full-time shall receive credit for their part-time service based on the number of hours worked in proportion to the regular hours of work of full-time employees (i.e. not less than 37.5 hours per workweek)." What this means is that under its part-time service regulation, the Board determines the appropriate amount of credit proportional to the time required for full-time credit of full-time employees. In Ms. Kinsman's case, the full-time equivalent is a 9-month year.
Ms. Kinsman is entitled to have her part-time service as an instructor for one-three credit course each semester performed over three consecutive academic years prorated against a full-time instructor's load during the same time period of four-three credit courses per semester. This means that she is entitled to ¼ of a year for three years, or ¾ of a calendar year or 9 months. Using this equivalent in the calculation is consistent with the State Board of Retirement guidelines on Section 4(1)(s) at number 9 discussing how the cost is determined for this purchase. It is because Ms. Kinsman was in the category of instructor that requires that the calculation of her creditable service employ nine months or two semesters as a full-time equivalent and not a calendar year.
At the hearing, Sandra Fallon of the State Board of Retirement explained why Ms. Kinsman's part-time service was prorated the way it was. She was treated as a contract employee for each of the specific time periods she was hired with no consideration of other than a calendar year. STCC reported her service with specific time periods. This was in contrast to the time period for a full-time faculty member at STCC which was set forth as covering a full calendar year as it was for Ms. Kinsman when she began this status, July 19, 1983 through July 16, 1984. But, a review of the evidence before the State Board of Retirement also showed that STCC provided information that a full-time professor-instructor, the full-time equivalent for Ms. Kinsman, worked only a fall and a spring semester, or a nine month time period. This information was not given consideration by the State Board of Retirement. 941 CMR 2.03, effective in 1993, states in pertinent part:
(3) Part-time employees shall receive credit for service based on the number of hours worked in proportion to a regular work week, i.e. - a person working 30 hours per week in an agency which has a regular work week of 40 hours, would
receive nine months service for each year employed.
Because STCC made it clear to the State Board of Retirement that a full-time year for professors-instructors at STCC is an academic year which is what Ms. Kinsman worked as a part-time instructor, I conclude the State Board of Retirement had sufficient evidence before it to use an academic year for calculating Ms. Kinsman's creditable service. This conclusion is bolstered by the conclusion that Ms. Kinsman was eligible to gain creditable service for her immediately preceding contract service because the job she did part-time was similar to the job she then did full-time into the present. That is one of the factors listed in Section 4(1)(s). The fact that Ms. Kinsman had no expectation that she would actually be able to work semester after semester the way she did does not prevent use of the academic year as a full-time equivalent in calculating her creditable service.
For these reasons, the case is remanded to respondent to recalculate Ms. Kinsman creditable service to grant her 9 months creditable service.

Through the lean times of four straight seasons without a playoff appearance, the Angels could take comfort in knowing they had the game's best all-around player. Their two priorities this season: Return to the playoffs and re-sign Mike Trout.
The Angels crossed one item off the list Friday by agreeing to terms with the 22-year-old outfielder on a six-year extension worth $144.5 million.
Trout will earn $1 million this season, then earn an average of $24,083,333 for six years beginning in 2015.
The team will host a public conference at 1:30 p.m. Saturday outside Angel Stadium to formally announce the deal. The final game of the Freeway Series is set for 6 p.m.
Trout didn't play against the Dodgers on Friday because of a stomach flu.
The American League's rookie of the year in 2012, Trout finished as the runner-up in MVP voting to the Detroit Tigers' Miguel Cabrera each of his first two major-league seasons.
Trout led the AL in runs scored (109) while hitting 27 home runs and collecting 97 RBIs to go with a .323 batting average last season. In 2012, he led the AL in runs (129) and stolen bases (49) while batting .326 with 30 home runs and 83 RBIs.
Only three other players have batted .320 with 50 home runs and 200 runs scored in their first two full seasons: Joe DiMaggio, Ted Williams and Albert Pujols. Only Trout and Willie Mays have two seasons of a .320 average, 25 homers and 30 steals at any point in their career.
Because his list of comparable players is as short as his time on Earth, it's been hard to pin a value on Trout.
Since Trout is entering just his third full season, the contract covers three years of salary arbitration and three years of free agency. Trout can become a free agent at age 29.
Coincidentally, Cabrera agreed to an eight-year, $248 million contract extension. However, that contract kicks in two years from now, when Cabrera will be 32 — 10 years older than Trout is today. Cabrera was set to become a free agent after the 2015 season and Trout would not have been eligible for free agency until 2018.
Still, only one current Angels player will make more money on a per-year basis: Outfielder Josh Hamilton, who signed a five-year, $133 million contract prior to last season.
First baseman Albert Pujols signed a 10-year contract worth $240 million prior to the 2012 season.
Kershaw plays catch
Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw, who was scratched from his scheduled start Sunday with inflammation in his back, played catch Friday at Dodger Stadium.
Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said that Kershaw reported no pain afterward and will try to increase his intensity when he plays catch again today.
"We're not going to let him go out there (in a game) unless he's 100 percent," Mattingly said.
Mattingly said it's too soon to put a timetable on Kershaw's recovery. It's possible that he could be placed on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to his last start and return as soon as April 7.
Kemp 'ready to go'
Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp, who has been limited to playing minor-league games as he recovers from off-season ankle surgery, returned to Los Angeles.
Mattingly said that Kemp will accompany the team to San Diego for the three-game series against the Padres beginning Sunday and take live batting practice Monday against Dodgers pitcher Josh Beckett.
Kemp is eligible to come off the disabled list prior to the Dodgers' home opener Friday against the San Francisco Giants.
"I'm not missing anything now," Kemp said. "I'm ready to go."
Stephen Fife, who was scheduled to start Friday's game for the Dodgers, was replaced with Zach Lee because of a stomach ailment. Mattingly said that either Dan Haren or Matt Magill would start the final Freeway Series game today. … Manager Mike Scioscia said the Angels' 25-man roster would be finalized tonight. Rosters are due Sunday.
