Man tried to abduct child from North Side elementary school
SUN-TIMES MEDIA WIRE May 24, 2013 11:24AM
A man tried to abduct a child from a North Side elementary school Wednesday afternoon, police said.
About 3:20 p.m., the man approached a boy outside Bell Elementary School in the 3700 block of North Oakley Avenue, police News Affairs Officer Michael Sullivan said. The man told the boy his mother was sleeping and he would take him home.
The boy ran away, and the man walked away, Sullivan said.
The suspect is described as 5-foot-6 and 150 pounds, and was last seen wearing a Cubs hat, black shirt and flip-flops, Sullivan said.
An official at Bell Elementary did not immediately return a call for comment.
No one is in custody and Area North detectives are investigating.

CHARIHO- The Chariho Chargers are wrapping up their Girl's Tennis season, and have been one of the best teams in Division III. The team looked to finish their regular season strong this past Tuesday night with a victory against Shea High School at Chariho High School.
The Chargers ended the season on a good note, winning against the Raiders, 6-1, on Tuesday afternoon.
PROVIDENCE- After starting the season with a big victory on their home field, the Chariho Chargers have struggled lately. With three straight losses, including two shutouts, the Chargers were looking to get out of their early-season slump this past Friday night against Mount Pleasant High School.
The offense came back for Chariho on Friday night, as the team scored three touchdowns and took Mount Pleasant to overtime. However, it couldn't get the victory for the Chargers, as the Kilties edged by Chariho in double-overtime, 22-21.
EXETER-WEST GREENWICH— There couldn't be a better time for the Exeter-West Greenwich girls soccer team to notch a win in the scoring column, after previously losing two straight games, falling to Portsmouth and Mt. Hope. That task may sound difficult as the South Kingstown Rebels, who sit quietly in third place of the Division I-South standings, came to town.
WESTERLY- The North Kingstown Skippers have been one of the best teams in Division II this season. Going into Friday night's game, the team had a 4-0 record, and were looking to improve upon it this past Friday night against Westerly at Westerly High School.
The Skippers were able to remain unbeaten, defeating Westerly on Friday night, 28-19.
The team improved to 5-0 this season with the victory. A two-score third quarter helped North Kingstown get the big road victory against Westerly on Friday night.
SOUTH KINGSTOWN— The South Kingstown Rebels are coming off one of their biggest games of the season from two weeks ago, as the team got their first victory of the season. The Rebels looked to carry that momentum and get their second consecutive win on Friday night against Cranston West at Curtis Corner Middle School.
Unfortunately, for the Rebels, South Kingstown didn't have enough offense to keep up with the Falcons, as Cranston West cruised to the 40-21 victory.
LINCOLN—Volleyball season is almost at an end, and the more than twenty teams took part in the Koch Eye Volleyball Tournament this past Monday. The 15th annual tournament is a chance for teams to get ready for the playoffs, and build up on some of their skills for the final stretch of the season.
Going into the tournament on Monday at CCRI in Lincoln, the teams were split up into different divisions. The purpose of the tournament was to have teams play other teams that don't get to play each other in the regular season.
CHARIHO- The Chariho Chargers have been one of the best teams in all of Division III tennis this season. The Chargers have been one of the most improved teams from last season, and have a 9-1 record.
The Chargers suffered their first loss against North Smithfield on Tuesday night by the score of 6-1. It is the first defeat the Chargers have had all season.
NORTH KINGSTOWN— After coming away with a 5-1 victory over North Kingstown last year in the Division I quarterfinal field hockey playoffs, East Greenwich was well-prepared for a similar outcome in last Friday's matchup versus the Skippers, but North Kingstown wouldn't go down easy this time around.
EAST GREENWICH—There couldn't have been a better outcome for East Greenwich football this past Friday night as they squared off against Classical in a duel that ended on the final scoring drive with the Avengers pulling away with the 20-14 upset win over The Purple.
It's been a great learning experience for cross country runner Luke Embry.
Embry, from North Kingstown (The Prout School) is just a freshman at Roger Williams but he's already running against the big boys. In last weekend's Paul Short Invitational at Lehigh, he and his teammates competing against mainly Division I and II runners.
"We were in the Gold Race, the most competitive race of the day, and Luke equaled his personal best (27:57) for eight kilometers," coach Sean Livingston said. "He handled himself very well in that atmosphere."

PALM BAY -- Four Palm Bay police officers are testing a new piece of equipment that not only illuminates a scene but also sheds light on what a suspect might be hiding.
Tactical Scanners, Inc. of Canyon Lake, Texas, designed the lightweight 9-inch flashlights that vibrate and flash a red light when metal is detected up to 3 inches away.
"I've used it a dozen and a half times already, and it's good," Patrol Officer Boyd Williams said.
Patrol Officer Kevin Morris said he found a small penknife hidden in a wad of paper during a pat-down. "Weapons are becoming smaller and smaller," he said.

A video study using five videos taken of the accident sequence by airshow spectators revealed that, during the wing-walking performance, the airplane began a shallow climb to reposition for the next performance maneuver. After the airplane was aligned along the show line, the airplane began a left roll to the inverted position and continued rolling until it was nearly inverted, but it stopped at an orientation of 156 degrees of rotation (24 degrees short of fully inverted flight). During the last seconds of the flight, the airplane's flightpath shifted from the east to the east-northeast, which directed it outside of the performance area and toward a Boeing 757 parked near aircraft hangars about 0.3 mile east-southeast of the accident site. About 1.3 seconds before the accident, the airplane began rolling right and then abruptly pitched toward the ground just before impact. During the final 2 seconds, the airplane's groundspeed reduced from about 106 to 84 knots. An examination of the airplane's wreckage did not reveal any preimpact anomalies that would have precluded normal operation. An airshow crewmember reported hearing the wing walker telling the pilot before the airshow performance that he had previously flown too fast when she was walking along the wing to position herself. It is unknown if they further discussed the exact needs of the wing walker during the performance. However, it is likely that the pilot flew a more gradual maneuver to reduce the forces against the wing walker while she repositioned herself on the wing, which resulted in the entry into the maneuver not being set up as expected and created a tighter turn radius. On the videos, the airplane appeared to be flying slower than normal and did not pitch to the target nose-high parameter before beginning the left roll. The airplane developed a negative, or descending, vector as the airplane rolled toward the inverted position. The roll to the inverted position was stopped short of expected; because of the bank, the airplane was heading toward the crowd line. The airplane flew for a few seconds while partially inverted and well below the maneuver's 110-mph target airspeed. The airplane then began a right roll, although the planned maneuver typically used a left roll. It could not be determined if the pilot chose to discontinue the maneuver and exit with a reversed right turn to avoid a perceived collision hazard with the parked Boeing 757, to remain within the performance area, to not overfly the crowd, or a combination of these factors.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

A program aimed at improving athletics programs within the Boston Public School system has made strides since its foundation in 2009. The Boston Scholar Athletes program, launched with help from former Mayor Tom Menino and Suffolk Construction CEO John Fish hopes "to improve academic achievement through athletics."
At an annual fundraising event earlier this month, the BSA program raised more than $2.5 million to support their efforts. Among the 4,000 student athletes who participate in BPS athletics, two 17 year-old Dorchester residents— Shakirat Oseni and Lorla Attivor —were singled out as examples of its success.
Attivor, will be attending UMass Boston in the fall on a full scholarship. Oseni also received a full academic scholarship to UMass Dartmouth. Both currently attend Dorchester Academy.
Oseni, who moved to Dorchester two years ago from Nigeria, played soccer and basketball starting her junior year in high school.
"It was one of the best decisions of my life," said Oseni, but she faced many challenges while being a student-athlete. "The most challenging thing for me was bringing my GPA up because at times it became overwhelming to play a sport and have all the responsibilities of a student. It required a lot of time management, commitment, and dedication to do it all at the same time.
"But with the help of BSA, I was able to get my homework done before practice and games. BSA also provided me with tutors whenever I was having trouble with a subject."
The BSA assists students with resource centers housed in individual schools. The centers are called "The Zone"— where student-athletes can get homework help, free notebooks and folders, tutoring sessions, college readiness, and one-on-one help with the college application.
"The Zone has helped me to become a better person in life and accomplish a GPA of 3.8," said Oseni, who said The Zone became "her second home."
The goal of this program is to create "a safe quiet environment for all students – not just athletes- to access during the day and after school to complete their homework, get ahead on their studies, and pursue higher education.
Throughout the city there are 19 school based learning centers, which cater to 24 Boston high schools and are also staffed full time. Since they opened their doors in October of 2011, Zone-engaged students have seen increases in average SAT scores, college acceptance rate, and high school graduation rate. Outside of the classroom, The Zone also helps educate student-athletes on topics ranging from employment, community service opportunities, and how to build better relationships with teammates.
Attivor, a volleyball player, is another student-athlete who moved from Worcester to Fields Corner in 2011. She has seen a turn-around in athletics since she started playing for BPS.
"The athletic program has exposed us students to many opportunities in the community. Through the athletic program we have received a lot of support to improve as athletes through amazing coaches and mentors," said Attivor.
"My BSA facilitator Ms. Mosley has been my greatest supporter,"said Attivor. "As a scholar athlete I had been faced with times that I felt overwhelmed with schoolwork and practice. She has always been there to give me words of advice as well as pushing me to put forward my best work. The biggest challenge that I have overcome as a student athlete playing volleyball is time management. I had to learn how to balance my academic with my sports while excelling at them both."
Oseni says that the camaraderie that comes with being engaged in team sports is a huge benefit.
"It is fun to be on the BPS team because you get to meet new friends and you learn how to improve in the sport you play," Oseni said. "You learn to be a better you by having a team to commit to, a schedule to follow, and a sport to practice and perfect your skills."
Attivor has also had a positive journey while playing volleyball saying it "is amazing because it has given me a chance to connect with other athletes from all around my city and it has given me the opportunity to create new friendships. The BPS team is like a big family where everyone is welcomed to join."

Lion has acupuncture
Date: 2014/07/23
In a scene reminiscent of Aesop's Fables, vet Nicki Grint is twiddling a needle in the foot of a fully-grown male lion.
Lucifer, Paignton Zoo's 11 year old Asiatic lion, is blissfully unaware of the fact, and it's partly because of the needle that he remains pain-free. Nicki, a specialist in veterinary anaesthesia and analgesia, is using acupuncture to help with pain relief.
In the lion's den at Paignton Zoo in Devon are Nicki and veterinary surgeon Ross Doust, both from Cave Veterinary Specialists, based at Wellington in Somerset, along with Paignton Zoo Veterinary Associate Jo Reynard and one of the Zoo's vet nurses, Celine Campana.
Jo: "Lucifer had a tumour removed from his right hind foot before he came to Paignton Zoo, but the place has not healed properly." Today, the team is looking at this while anaesthetist Nicki takes the chance to practice the ancient Chinese technique of acupuncture. Although she has used it on dogs, this is Nicki's first cat - and at 190 kilos, it's a big one.
She explains: "We are using acupuncture to decrease pain and improve blood flow to the site, helping the healing process." Needles are inserted at 2.5cm intervals around the wound - the Chinese call this "ringing the dragon".
The needles are in Lucifer's foot for about 15 minutes. This is the first time acupuncture has been used on any animal at Paignton Zoo. Acupuncture is not commonly used in zoo animals; the procedure requires the animal to stay still, so they need to be under a general anaesthetic, which is only done when absolutely necessary.
Jo Reynard again: "We're using gas anaesthesia and all the usual medical painkillers. The acupuncture is simply being used opportunistically, as an adjunct to conventional therapy in the hope that it might help the wound heal."
Paignton Zoo Curator of Mammals Neil Bemment said: "We are grateful to Nicki and Ross for giving up their time in order to share their expertise. All the initial signs are that Lucifer will make a swift recovery."
In the story of Androcles and the Lion, a runaway Roman slave removes a thorn from the foot of a lion and his good deed is remembered by the animal years later when they meet in the Circus Maximus in Rome. Let's hope Lucifer remembers Nicki's good deed if they ever meet again...
Acupuncture uses thin needles to treat a range of conditions, most commonly pain relief. A form of complementary medicine and a key component of traditional Chinese medicine, it is thought to have developed thousands of years ago.
Lucifer, who got his name because his number in the computerised Animal Record Keeping System (ARKS) is 666, has recently arrived in Devon to join two females, mother and daughter Indu and Maliya.
Asiatic lions are classed as Endangered by the
International Union for the Conservation of Nature. Paignton Zoo Environmental
Park is a registered charity.

Is it possible to prefer a point and shoot ultrazoom camera to a full frame ILC? The answer is yes and you are about to find out why!
Ricoh/Pentax introduced two new lenses today, their first Limited zoom for the K Mount, and a much smaller wide angle zoom for their diminutive Q line of cameras.
After a multitude of teasers from Nikon and a major oops from Amazon, the Nikon Df is officially announced. Albeit a bit anticlimactic, the Nikon Df has some pretty cool specs that we will share with you.
The sample image gallery from the Sony a7 is here. Check out singer Leah Turner and our Overland Unlimited off-road experience.
DSLR Image Quality meets the portability of a compact. It sports a constant f2.8 zoom lens, Wi-Fi and a built-In EVF.
Check out our first set of sample images from the Sony A7R in Nashville, Tennessee. The quality is great and the camera is awesome in low light situations.
In a head-to-head competition of the Nikon D600 vs. the Pentax K-3, the Pentax K-3 easily sweeps the Nikon D600.
Sigma's newest lens starts shipping in November for $899.
Be prepared to have the Samsung Galaxy NX knock your socks off! This fully connected camera offers great image quality with the flexibility of an ILC.
Photographing the night sky requires the right equipment and a bunch of patience. Jim Keenan has some helpful tips to show you how it's done.
The Fuji XQ1 features a fast F1.8 4x zoom lens, 2/3" X-Trans CMOS II sensor and speedy AF speeds.
New X-E2 features 16.3 MP, fast AF, lens modulation optimizer and Wi-Fi.

When we last left off after 3 innings, the Giants were in the midst of their most trying times of the season. After a great April, they had a flat May, and the Dodgers were making their run to catch up with the Giants, which they eventually did before fading back. Some players were coming back from injury and some were trying to get out of horrible slumps. All in all things were unsettled in many different little ways. And yet the Giants just continued to march on, like good little baseball soldiers.
Since then, well, like I noted in my previous article, it has been beautiful. The Giants fought back first the rampaging Dodgers, who blew their wad then faded back, and then next, the D-Backs, who got incredible performances from their youngsters until their youth was exposed, just as the Giants were in May. Then they got off to probably their best start ever - common theme for this year - after the All-Star break, winning 10 out of 11 in the homestand and against National League West opponents, more importantly. The Giants now stand 12 games ahead of the D-Backs who are now second after passing up L.A. and L.A. has even been caught from behind by the Rockies, with both 13.5 games behind the Giants. Even more amazing to me is that, despite the turmoil in the starting pitching, the Giants went 34-20 again in the 2nd third of the season.
Top of the Lineup: Just as the cream rises to the top, Bonds has risen to the top. After hitting .298/.492/.631 with 13 homers in the first third, he has his averages up to .328/.510/.728 with 33 homers now. His slugging percentage in July was a stratospheric 1.000, which is higher than almost all players OPS, which adds in OBP to SLG. Grissom has stayed the star he was by keeping himself above .300 and he has the 2nd highest SLG and 2nd highest RBI total among regulars. Plus he has provided splendid defense in CF for the most part. Durham has slowed down a lot during the 2nd third, especially during July after a hot June. But he is still providing a spark at the top of the lineup overall, something that has been missing for a long time.
Santiago has also done well, though he cooled off a lot in the 2nd third of the season, mainly because he has been out for a stint on the DL. Snow was slowing sinking towards the bottom of the lineup when Alou struck gold by batting Snow 2nd in the lineup because of his high OBP and poor power numbers. Something a stats-freak could enjoy but probably drove some fans batty until Snow was getting on base almost as much as Barry was doing!
Gallaraga has continued to be stellar off the bench, hitting homers (getting close to career 400) and driving in runs. Plus he has kept his batting average over .300 all this year. Plus he has allowed Snow to concentrate on batting left-handed against righties while El Gato Grande plays against lefties, which have been few and far in-between. In addition, he has sucked it up twice this season, playing a lot at 1B when Snow was hindered by his groin muscle pull.
Bottom of the Lineup: Aurilia has been in a funk all season long, unable to break out and go berzerk hitting. We need him to get hot again this year like he did last year in September and October and all will be forgiven. Hopefully the appendicitis doesn't affect his play much and, if anything, give him a lot of rest before the playoffs (get well soon!). Jose Cruz, Jr. has quietly provided stellar defense in right field. However, we need him to be loud on offense as that is why we got him and he in danger of falling to Scrub status. He is basically delivering what his career numbers suggest except that he walking a whole lot more than he ever did, raising his OBP to the .360-.380 range. Dispels the speculation that Alou "likes" low OBP players or encourages low OBP players to stay low.
Pedro Feliz and Neifi Perez have been adequate while playing off the bench but both have cooled off a lot since hot starts in the 1st third of the season. Feliz, however, does a nice impersonation of Bonds when he plays LF - 6 homers in about 38 at bats. The problem is that is where all his offensive contribution is right now - he's on pace for 17 homers, fourth on the team, and he is not a stellar defender either right now, except maybe at 3B. Neifi is at best an adequate 8th place hitter and not much more. And if he fell any further, he probably would be in the scrubs.
Scrubs: Alfonzo is about ready to move up a level, but at the end of the 6th, he was still here. However, he has been torrid since his benching, hitting .303/.367/.438 with 6 doubles, 2 homers, and 17 RBIs in 24 games. Plus he has continued his torrid hitting in Cincinati, going 6 for 13 there with 2 RBIs. A sign of some faith recently that his slump was over was Alou batting Edgardo 5th in the lineup but he was dropped back down after that game.
Torrealba was doing well off the bench early in the season but his average has dropped greatly since taking over for Santiago when Benito was on the DL. I had thought that he would be an adequate replacement for Santiago after Benito goes free agent, but this has given pause. However, he is still great defensively behind the plate and still have the rest of this year to regroup and do well again. In addition, his decline had occurred after his wife was basically near-death requiring surgery; fortunately, the operation appears to be a success and she was doing fine afterward, but perhaps there are other things that we don't know about that is on his mind.
Aces and Closers: Schmidt, as a first time All-Star, still sparkled, despite his tendinitis problems, with a 2.44 ERA, .198 BAA, 0.97 WHIP, 11-4 record, and team record of 16-4 in games that he has pitched in. Jerome Williams has come in after Ainsworth injury to be 5-2 with a 2.80 ERA, .225 BAA, 1.25 WHIP, saving the Giants big time, who went 7-4 when he pitched and with a little more support could have been 9-2 because he really had only two bad outings so far. He already has two complete games pitched and one shutout at the tender age of 21 and has shown great poise and maturity, as well as being a great success story with his endearing story about his puka-shell necklace that his late mother had given him. Ponson was acquired at the very bottom of the 6th inning and hasn't even pitched one pitch for the Giants yet but has provided a big lift, strengthening the starting rotation over what Moss had been providing plus in the face of Rueter's indefinite stay on the disabled list.
The bullpen has been whipped into shape by all the turmoil and there are many doing well here. Worrell has been leading the way, despite fan discontent over his not being an "experienced" closer, and has continued to excel in the role, with an ERA of 2.02, WHIP of 1.16, and BAA of .224. Plus his K/9 rate is 5th on the team at 6.8, which is not Nen-like but still pretty good. Nathan, after burning out a bit (a lot!) in May, has gotten rest and returned to his steady form, with a 1.07 WHIP and .190 BAA. He looks like the leading candidate to replace Worrell next year if we lose Worrell in free agency. Brower has been good being thrown into a variety of different situations and has been invaluable in all those roles, especially spot starting. Eyre has been steady for the Giants all year, doing well in any role he is thrown into. Herges was acquired from the Padres for just a minor prospect but he has been great for the Giants, with a WHIP of 0.94 and BAA of .216, and his acquisition could prove to be just as significant as getting Ponson because his addition has made a strong bullpen into a rock solid relief corp, giving us four consistently good relievers.
Middle Relief: Felix Rodriguez has been hot and cold throughout the season and his inconsistency has cost us a number of games though when he is on he has saved us a number of times as well. His ERA is low, 3.06 but he has a high WHIP of 1.47 and high BAA of .274, and has been letting inherited runners score on him. Christensen has been either very good or very bad, placing him here, but for the most part has been very good. Zerbe was horrible in the 1st third of the season but had been great in the 2nd third, showing the form we all loved last year, until his unfortunate injury spot-starting (ironically it occurred while he was batting). Ainsworth is only here because he is on the DL but had been doing well previously. Unfortunately, circumstances led to him being traded to obtain a "whale" of a starter; good luck, I wish him well on his career.
Gasoline: Moss' disappointing "dead arm" plus Ainsworth's and Rueter's injuries have forced the Giants to get Ponson. Again the theme of the season, both for hitting and for pitching, appears to be that Moss was very good when he was good but very bad when he was bad, which explains his 9-7 record despite a 4.70 ERA, 1.60 WHIP, and .273 BAA. Foppert hit the wall himself in June, resulting in his missing his turn in the rotation, and has only recently got himself straightened out and effective again. Hopefully he can begin to show the form he had earlier in the season when he would face the ace of the other team and still represent himself well against top competition. That could be important in the playoffs if Rueter is out for the year and the playoff rotation is Schmidt, Ponson, Williams, and Foppert.
If They Play Like This for a Whole Season: Hitters
The leaders in batting averages were noted above. If all the other data were extrapolated, we would get the following leaders:
Runs: Bonds (119), Cruz (95), Grissom (93), Aurilia (77), Durham (72)
Hits: Grissom (192), Aurilia (147), Bonds (141), Durham (140), Cruz (138),
Doubles: Durham (36), Grissom (35), Aurilia (32), Cruz (27), Alfonzo (23)
Triples: Perez (6), Snow, Grissom and Durham (5)
Homers: Bonds (50), Cruz (24), Grissom (23), Feliz (17), Santiago (15)
RBI's: Bonds (102), Grissom (80), Cruz (75), Alfonzo (66), Aurilia (63)
Walks: Bonds (150), Cruz (104), Durham (65), Snow (59), and Alfonzo (54)
SB's: Grissom (14), Durham (11), Bonds (11), Cruz (8), and Alfonzo (6)
Comments: The Giants have continued to do well offensive. At the 2nd third mark, the Giants were 5th in batting average, 5th in on-base percentage, 5th in slugging percentage, and 7th in homeruns, all down from before, but now 6th in the National League in runs scored, versus 7th, surprising since the Giants fell a notch or two in all the other offensive areas... Giants pinch hitters are first in batting average, slugging, and OPS, 3rd in homers, and 5th in on-base percentage...
Durham's lack of runs scored is disturbing because it shows a total lack of run production from the 2nd and 3rd positions in the lineup and needs to be rectified... Despite all the complaints about nobody driving in and protecting Bonds, he is on pace to score 119 runs now, about what he scored last year despite his much lower batting average and on-base percentage this year so far... He should really bat third but maybe now that Alfonzo is hot he can bat 2nd or 3rd now that Aurilia and Snow have been out and see how he does there now... Our catchers have combined for 70 RBIs - 3rd in NL - and our first basemen have combined for 66 RBIs - 8th in NL - which works out to about 100 RBIs during a season if they continued at this pace... Other notables, besides LF, include CF (6th), 3B (8th now, but with a bullet now that Alfonzo is hot and close enough to 5th with another grand slam), and SS (10th but close enough to reach 5th with a very good game or two; unlikely now that Aurilia is out)...
The Giants are on pace to score 771 runs with 188 homers for 2003, compared with last year's 783 runs scored and 198 homers... I guess the Giants still aren't missing Kent, Bell, Lofton, or Sanders much (though Dusty apparently does since the Cubs acquired Lofton for the stretch run; Darren Baker strikes again! :^), though there were rumors that that Giants were looking to re-acquire Sanders again (Ugh! to semi-quote Bonds, if you can't raise your level now, during the stretch run, when are you ever going to?)...
If They Play Like This for a Whole Season: Pitchers
In pitching, the leaders would be:
Games: Eyre (83), Nathan (80), Rodriguez (77), Worrell (75), and Brower (53)
Wins: Schmidt (17), Nathan, Rueter, Brower, and Foppert (11)
Saves: Worrell (35), Brower (3), Eyre (3), and Rodriguez (2)
Innings: Schmidt (216), Rueter (167), Foppert (137), Brower (112), and Williams (106)
K's: Schmidt (225), Foppert (132), Nathan (95), Williams (75), Brower (71)
K/9: Schmidt (10.0), Nathan (9.1), Rodriguez (8.0), and Foppert (7.5)
Comments: I left off Ainsworth and Moss as they should not be among the leaders at the end of the season and if they did, then it wouldn't really matter as they belong to another team now. I will admit now that I took the easy route out and calculated the pure ratio instead of adjusting to circumstances, like Williams putting up most of his stats in the 2nd third so his year end numbers should probably be increased to adjust for that.
Despite all the problems the pitching staff has faced this year, the team overall is still 4th in the NL in ERA and 3rd in the NL in runs scored... However, the team's starters are only 7th in the NL in ERA while the bullpen is 4th in the NL in ERA, obviously the strength of the team this year... Some commentators have noted the Giants overuse of the bullpen but only Nathan and Eyre are headed for any high in game appearances and none of them for innings pitched...
Despite all the chaos and disruption caused by injuries, Alou has somehow kept the ship steady as she goes. The Giants just keep on chugging and are still winning games at a high pace (.630), in spite of the slight drop in run production during the 2nd third of the season. The year is still looking "to be beautiful" as I noted in the 3 innings article.
Again, it was no one player but one player or another player, coming up big in any particular game, to win games. But it did help that Bonds at one point had something like 20 homeruns in 40 games and put a fright into opposing pitchers. Plus Jerome Williams saved our bacon by coming in and playing as well as any of us would have hoped for, as well as Brower in his spot starting.
The amazing thing about the Giants so far is that most teams playing so well and dominating their division and league have either a lot of players playing at or above their peak years so far or have experienced very few injuries and no major ones, or both even. The injuries we all know about.
The Giants only have one regular player and one reserve who can be considered to be playing above their heads: Grissom and Neifi. And Grissom has done this before, only when he was much younger; somehow he has been rejuvenated under Alou. And Neifi, no longer supported by the thin air of Colorado and no longer hampered by his unhappiness at playing in Kansas City, has been relatively useful this year as a bench player. Snow is borderline in this area, but he has slowly drifted into his expected range of performance. Everyone else is either doing as expected - Bonds! - or doing worse than expected - Alfonzo!
Out of the pitchers, I suppose there are more over achievers and perhaps that is where our advantage so far lies. Schmidt has turned it up a notch and is pitching in the upper echelon. Worrell has been great replacing Nen as the closer. Williams has been great in what he has done. Nathan and Eyre has done extremely well too.
However, there has been as many underachievers here, counteracting the superb performances. For every Schmidt, there is a Rueter and Jensen. For every Williams, there is a Moss and Foppert. For each Worrell, there is a Christensen. For each Nathan, there is a Zerbe. So back to the mid-point, back supposedly to zero. And yet the Giants continue to win.
One of the bigger heroes in the 2nd third is Alfonzo. I noted in the 3 Innings article that if Alfonzo could get hot, we could go on a hot streak and pull away from the competition. From the game after his benching for one game, he has hit .303/.367/.438 with 17 RBIs in the 24 games up to the end of the 2nd third of the season and the Giants went 15-9 (.625) in those games. During that time, we went from 6 games up to 12 games up on the competition. Perhaps Alou should "bench" Cruz soon and get his big bat going too in time for the post-season that we appear to be headed for.
Hopefully Alfonzo can continue his great hitting to justify his high salary. I'm sure all will be forgiven by fans if he can be the RBI machine we had all envisioned during the most important months: September and October. If he can keep this pace up, he can get his RBI total up to the 80-100 range we had expected from him when he was signed.
It was Jeff Kent and Reggie Sanders disappearing act, for the most part, during the playoffs that cost us last year in the World Series. Luckily Aurilia, Snow, and Santiago made up for their lack of presence. Hopefully we can get all eight of our cylinders hitting should the Giants make the playoffs. Alou so far appears to have the magic going.
With a 12 game lead over the Arizona Diamondbacks and 13.5 game lead over the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Colorado Rockies, for some, it looks like it's time to look into getting playoff tickets. But there is still a lot more games to go and better teams have collapsed under the pressure of a pennant race. Fortunately, with such a large lead, the pressure will be not be great as it would, say, if the lead was more tenuous. So it is looking pretty good. But with 54 games to go, there is still a lot of games to be played and a number of different scenarios can happen.
Magic Number Machinations
Only in a year where your team leads by 12 games at the 2/3rd point can we look into magic numbers. Still, the news, or non-news, as noted, is that there is still a lot of games to be played and anything can still happen. Especially injuries, like the Giants have experienced this year.
A look at sundry collection of the injuries the Giants have endured will give you the flavor of how the wheel can come off the semi-trailer: Aurilia (appendicitis and faulty tear duct; what a year he has had!), Durham (hamstring pull AND hip bursitis at the same time), Alfonzo (jammed finger on play), Zerbe (hurt while swinging the bat), Snow (re-injured groin pull), Schmidt (tendonitis), Rueter (shoulder strain), Santiago (dislocated pinky), Ainsworth (broken shoulder blade), Foppert, Moss and Jensen (dead arms), half the team but especially F-Rod (flu). I'm sure I missed something but this is off the top of my head. Unfortunately, there have been bereavement/emergency leaves as well.
Still, it is fun to play the "What if" game where we wonder, "what if the Giants...."
If the Giants play .333 ball: they'll end up 86-76 and the D-Backs would have to play well at a .574 clip (31-23) to win the division, not too onerous, and the Dodgers and Rockies both basically need to play .600 ball. Both not out of the realm; for example, the D-Backs played .574 ball in their second third of the season. The Dodgers were hot for a while too, playing .667 ball when they made their mad dash to catch up with the Giants, ever so briefly, before we said good-bye to them in the rearview mirror. The Rockies, well, they're the Rockies and never really had any real hot streak nor cold streak. They basically waited for the D-Backs and Dodgers to fall back to them, so who knows what type of streak they are capable of.
If the Giants play .400 ball: they'll end up 90-72 and the D-Backs would have to play very well with few mistakes and win at a .648 pace (35-19), and the Dodgers and Rockies, .673 ball. Coincidence of coincidence, at the beginning of their big losing streak, up to that point the D-Backs had been playing .648 ball in the 54 games up to the losing streak. Even the Dodgers best streak would leave them short in this case.
If the Giants play .500 ball: they'll end up 95-67 and the D-Backs would have to play to their fullest potential, a blazing .741 (40-14) to win the division, the Dodgers and Rockies, .770 ball. So it looks like if the Giants can just keep it together and limp into the playoffs hopefully with every healed by the end of the season, they should win the division easily.
If the Giants play .600 ball: they'll end up 100-62 and the D-Backs would have to set what is probably a record pace, or nearly so, of .833 (45-9), same with the other two at .855 and .865, respectively. The Giants could be done by mid-September if they play this well.
If the Giants play .630 ball, their current percentage: they'll end up 102-60 and the rest of the division can just pack it in and wait until next year, unless someone happen to catch the Phillies for the wild card, but the D-Backs are 5 games behind them for that. Not a big lead but it will be if the Phillies continue to play well. Then there are the surprising Marlins, who are ahead of the D-Backs by 2.5 games themselves. And St. Louis was a half game ahead at the time the Giants reached the 108 game mark.
Last fun permutation: there are 28 home games left and 26 road games left. The Giants have won at a .700 pace at home. If they continue at "only" a .600 pace, that would mean the Giants would have at least 17 wins, depending on how they do on the road. If they then win only a third of their road games, a pretty sad record, which would finally drop their road record under .500, they will be 26-28 (.481). That would mean the D-Backs would have to win at a .700 (38-16) pace to win the division. As noted above, none of the teams contending with the Giants have won at a .700 pace over 54 games this season so far, though with Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling back, who knows.
The Last Third: Use the Force!
What is the recipe for success - that is, making the playoffs - for the Giants? Basically they just have to do "what brung them here": playing solid baseball, with good starting pitching, better relief pitching, and strong defense. That alone will ensure that they won't fall in a horrible losing streak, like the ones that have brought down the D-Backs and the Dodgers over the past month or so.
It is also time for players who have not really done much to start revving their engines in preparation for the post-season that the Giants have a strong chance of making. Alfonzo has started delivering what he was brought here for. Apparently it has taken him this long to adjust to Pac Bell Park - he noted in a recent interview that he has been finding that his hits to right field that normally would be a big hit would become outs there. It would be my unprofessional guess as a fan that his struggles at the plate are the results of him adjusting his swing to the parameters of Pac Bell Park. He is now appearing to be hitting for average and on-base percentage and is starting to hit for some power. We need him to become a force in the playoffs.
Jose Cruz is another player who needs to step it up offensively soon. His batting average is below Neifi, for goodness sakes! He has been scoring runs, even more than Durham, and he has been walking up a storm, driving up his OBP, but we didn't get him to get walks and score runs, we got him so that he could hit homers and drive in runs. He has been adequate so far but he needs to bring it up a notch. Now is the time to turn it on as this is when the Giants are going to be playing for all the marbles. He also needs to become a force in the playoffs, like he was the first weeks of this season.
Of course, everyone else will also need to continue to contribute as well as they have been. But if the Giants can get everyone humming at the same time, this is an offense that can regularly score 6-10 runs a game, easily. With that type of offense working on all cylinders, and our current pitching, the Giants could easily run through opponents towards the goal of winning the World Series. And somehow, this year, Alou, the old baseball soldier, has been able to get his troops working well enough to win at a .630 pace in spite of all the injuries and slumps. Imagine what he could do if everyone was healthy and contributing at their peak? I think the ending is going to be beautiful!
Go Giants!

October 24, 2013
As part of four historic transportation infrastructure investments, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) will launch a $1.3 billion program to replace and increase the capacity of the Red Line and Orange Line trains.
The projects announced will bring reliable, long-term relief to commuters who travel the Massachusetts Turnpike and rely on the Red and Orange lines to get to work and school. Gov. Deval Patrick made the announcement at a Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce government affairs forum where he addressed generational responsibility and the importance of expanding economic opportunity for people throughout Massachusetts by investing in education, innovation and infrastructure.
The MBTA on Tuesday issued Requests for Proposals for the $1.3 billion procurement to replace the 44-year old Red Line cars and 32-year old Orange Line cars. The project will deliver at least 226 vehicles; 152 Orange Line cars, replacing the entire fleet of 120 and 74 Red Line cars, with an option to increase the fleet to 132.
The new cars will provide improved reliability, accessibility and energy efficiency. New car features include increased capacity and additional seating, wider and electrically operated doors, four accessible areas per car, LED lighting, modern HVAC systems and advanced passenger information and announcement systems.
The MBTA expects to award a contract for the cars by winter 2014-15, with the condition that the final assembly of the cars will take place in Massachusetts, providing further investment in the Commonwealth. Following required extensive pilot train testing, Orange Line car delivery is scheduled to begin in winter 2018-19 and Red Line car delivery in fall 2019.
