A 3-year-old child was killed Tuesday night in a three-vehicle accident at Highway 50 and Cave Rock that resulted in at least 10 injuries to occupants.
According to the Nevada Highway Patrol's preliminary report, the accident occurred at 8:50 p.m. when a westbound Cadillac sport utility vehicle crossed the double-yellow line and sideswiped a GMC sport utility vehicle in the eastbound lanes, causing it to overturn. The Cadillac then careened head on into an eastbound Chrysler minivan in which the child was reportedly riding.
Several occupants of the vehicles where transported to area hospitals. Two went by helicopter and eight by ground. Broadcast reports said that the victim was a 3-year-old girl in the Chrysler. The road was closed for approximately five hours for the investigation.
Trooper Kris Satterwhite of the Major Accident Investigation Team is investigating this accident. Witnesses or anyone with additional information is asked to contact him at 775-689-4682 or firstname.lastname@example.com regarding case No. NHP-130701640.

Assuming our representatives fail to screw up the recovery in the last two weeks of the year (risky assumption), average sale prices will end the year increasing for the first time in three years by 3 percent. Resale prices are up by nearly 5 percent. About 15 percent more properties sold through November. The number sold has been much closer to the 12-year average than at any time in the past three years.
The inventory is down to about 1,500 properties, also a three-year low.
8 out of 11 ... number of months this year with increases in average price
1,349 ... number of properties sold through November - 47 more than last year's total sales

City selects direction for 15th St. project
Property owners air concerns with assessment
After a night of deliberation with property owners and other interested parties, the Dell Rapids City Council adopted a plan for the second phase* of 15th Street improvements at its Nov. 19 meeting.Ron Welbig, a 37-year resident of his Garfield Avenue property, asked that the councilors put themselves in his position, questioning the danger of the Garfield Avenue/15th Street intersection.Councilor Craig Lauritzen said that the improvements would improve traffic flow to the school, while councilor Carrie Testerman said it was a tough call, ultimately stating the project would be worth the improvements in the long-term.Councilor Keith DeLange said that the assessment's portioning over time would cause him to agree with the improvements, and councilor Mark Downs agreed that traffic flow would be improved between the schools on the north end of town.Councilor Dave Sommerfeld asserted that he could see from both sides of the issue, adding that if he'd been in the property owner's shoes, he wouldn't want to pay for the improvements. Councilor Jim Rueckert, one of the assessed property owners on State Avenue, said that though he's not pleased about paying an assessment, he thinks it's the right thing to do for the city in the long run.And rounding out the perspective discussion was councilor Todd Wiebenga, who stressed the importance of improving safety at the intersection in question, due to its proximity to the high school and low visibility.State Avenue property owner Linn Kienast wondered if the 15th Street improvements would've happened at all if the elementary school bond hadn't been approved and why these changes weren't included on said bond issue."I have no problem with the (Garfield/15th) intersection being changed, but I think it's a city issue," she said. "To me, it's so much penalizing for the people on 15th Street."Fellow property owner Greg Hansen questioned the urgency of the second phase of the project going through. "If the homeowners aren't asking for it, why such a push to put this in?" he asked. "I wouldn't say a word about this if I felt it was absolutely necessary."Mayor Scott Fiegen said that the second phase was intended as an extension of the improvements made over the past year to the western half of 15th Street. "It was really just a continuation of that project itself," he said, "so that street doesn't just stop."Proposed improvements on the section of 15th Street from Clark to Garfield include paving a 43-foot-wide street, as well as placing a five-foot-wide boulevard and four-foot-wide sidewalk.In addition, some owners were unhappy with the plan to remove several dozen trees that would be affected by the construction."By taking down the trees, that's also going to be decreasing our property values," Erin Geurts said. She added that growing mature trees takes time.Shelli Klein concurred with the tree concern, adding that the general assessment process is troubling. "I just have a huge problem with the city asking people to take out loans (to cover costs)," she said. "I just can't get on board with it. I love this city (…) but I just don't think it's fair what's being asked of us."Some assessed property owners expressed concern with paying for installation of new sidewalks and driveways when existing ones are new or in acceptable condition as is.Dan Klein said that his driveway assessments total as high as $6,000, though he said his current driveway is within code and fairly new. He added he has no problem with installation of curb and gutter on his street, but he does take issue paying for unnecessary driveway installation.Hansen said that though driveway improvements would be welcome on his properties, he would rather make and time those decisions himself. "My driveways need to be replaced, but I'd like to be able to decide what the price would be."Ultimately, several of those assessed asked about the possibility of splitting the project so that the State Avenue improvements could be made without being torpedoed by their being lumped in with 15th Street."I think the people on State are sick and tired of the river coming in," Eric Geurts said.City administrator Justin Weiland said that the state funding was granted as a packaged project, with the state loan for water main, sewer and storm sewer improvements from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources was awarded for the whole project plan."The costs tend not to get any cheaper," he said. "It's probably delaying the inevitable."Project engineering rep Trent Bruce estimated that costs would increase between 20 and 25 percent if the plan was split. "The assessments wouldn't necessarily go up by 20 percent, but the total project cost would go up by 20 percent," he said.Ending the conversation, local developer Mark Crisp urged the city to reconsider assessing people for pre-existing items."I think it's a project that would be nice, (…) but if you have it already, you don't have to pay it again," he said. "It's been city policy for years not to assess you for something that you already have. I think it'd be real simple to adopt that tonight."Wiebenga moved that the city cover 50 percent of the assessment cost, effectively cutting it in half. The motion was seconded by DeLange but failed by a 6-2 vote.Downs then moved the city engineer evaluate approaches, driveways and sidewalks to determine if they meet code and can be removed or graded down from the assessment costs. Councilor Chad Andrews seconded and the motion passed with the aforementioned condition.Upon questioning from those present at the meeting, Weiland outlined the process from here on out, saying that there will be a 20-day referendum period for petitions upon publication in the legal newspaper. A petition would need 55 percent of front footage to eliminate the city's ability to assess.The project would be put out to bid in February or March, with construction slated for the spring through the late summer or fall. After completion, the council would approve an assessment roll, allowing owners 30 days to determine their repayment method.*15TH STREET PROJECT--The project entails continued work on 15th Street taking up where the first phase left off at the Clark Avenue intersection through to Garfield Avenue. It also would include infrastructure upgrades to State Avenue, between Thresher Drive and 12th Street, and Garfield Avenue, between 15th and 12th streets.--The project includes the addition of concrete street, concrete curb and gutter, sidewalks and driveway approaches and the installation of sanitary sewer services and water services, concrete valley gutters, asphalt concrete deposit, detective warning panels and permanent vegetation and erosion control.--Based on the engineer estimates, the total assessable portion of the $2.8 million project is $207,070, with assessments assigned based on front footage of each lot benefiting from the installments, paid over 10 years. State funding would supply about $625,000 of the total cost.

The battle is far away! But I'm really looking forward to it! Some pretty great Powerhouses will fight and it seems pretty intense.
The battle is far away! But I'm really looking forward to it! Some pretty great Powerhouses will fight and it seems pretty intense.
My Final B2-normal mode- team:
I think it will be more like they fought, excadrill managed to give great damage to Haxorus but in the final clash, Excadrill will faint before Hax and than Hax faints as well. or they both faint at the same time.
My Final B2-normal mode- team:
Has anybody talked about Iris climbing a tower in the middle of Opelucid City? Like seriously? xD

I never said Excadrill to beat both Pokemon. I only said that I wouldn't mind Excadrill getting a win over Dragonite.
I wish people would be careful about speaking of filler sagas. We don't have confirmation of that yet.If four of this happen in the Iris episodes and Axew is apparently setting to evolve, Iris has a numbers to leave. Not in this episode but after the League, at least. Of course, if they didn't happen, Iris is going to the filler saga with Ash and Cilan.
Where is all this coming from? The BW2 games have Kanto Pokemon and gymleaders as well as other gymleaders as well. Just because of that doesn't mean Ash's old Pokemon and Misty needs to show up again. Besides, Ash went to Kanto already back in BF. All of the Kanto Pokemon has been shown a bunch of times. There is no need for it again.*Because of the crazy-popularity of Pochama (more than Piplup, y'know) Dawn has some numbers to return to the show in that case.
**I put this because the RS-Remakes are happening. But isn't necessary to promote May in the main cast ( a cameo is enough).
***If Ash goes to Kanto, I see Misty reappearing, but I think that Brock will make a cameo.
My ideal battle ever!
Well to be honest he said he only thought of it as a 0.01% chance, only if Iris doesn't tag along...
True, we don't have confirmation, but we have confirmation about the league happening relatively soon. How are you gonna justify the amount of time required to bridge the gap between the end of the league and a new series?
Answer to all the bad things in the world: Give up on trying to make everything better. Hence, accepting it for what it is. YOLO! <- Click the link and daw.. -.-
Basically, the opinion is that the Iris charracters could be given a closure in this episodes and I find a hard time believing that Iris stay being a main character during 1 year after the episode of average if gets closure here.
Basically I don't think that Iris if Dragonite (a Pokemon way more powerful than any of the actual main cast including Krookodile) is going to be developed if fully obeys, if Iris wins against Drayden with Dragonite fully obeying, if Georgia appears in this episodes. Basically, if Iris get closure there. Not only that, but Iris could be the first characters to give a real closure. Beause Misty, May, Dawn and Brock are giving closures but not very solid (Dawn/May are still coordinator, Brock isn't a doctor and Misty in the Gym (or who knows).
Because I don't think that the Iris' storyline is easily revampable like the Ash storyline (technically has 6 partial closures until now), May/Dawn storyline (happen one time with May) and Brock/Cilan/Misty storyline (they need a departure episode and go-go).
The basis of the opinion is supported by the apparente closure that Iris could (not will) get, the big merchandise where Ash, Cilan and TR (but not Iris and any of her pokemon) appears, and realitily minor, the heavily non-stop Piplup merchandise (if is for release September, October and early November is for the cameo, but if is for December (and already exists) and beyond and isn't with all the starters, I don't say what I think...
Of course, if Iris loses against rayden, Dragonite goes on rampage, etc. Iris storyline is open and she will be confirmed to be after the league. And we can ignore (while Contest aren't in the radar, at least) that the group will be Ash, Iris and Cilan at least until the next generation that i didn't except until after the Gensect movie. And I see Novamber and the earliest could be September of next year.
And also, I foundnd this... Really posted by Sushi.

I need to take a break in the anime forum because these forum bored me.
Not. Iris' Dragonite is way more powerful than Krookodile. Krookodile win against Dragonite because Dragonite went on rampage and went out of control. But isn't because it's stronger than Dragonite. Basically is a plot that if you don't control a pokemon, you can lose a battle including with a high level pokemon (like Dragonite). And using Krookodile to evolve Krokorok and because Krookodile learns Dragon moves after evolution.

Uh no. Your ideas are based on nothing but assumption and weak supporting details. You've examined irrelevent things and have come a conclusion that has no head and no tail. Please stop!
This Drayden arc does not define everything that is Iris. Beating Drayden does not make her a dragon master because she still has things to learn. Winning simply gives her closure from her childhood loss to him. After this, she will continue to focus on her dragon master goal by likely catching another dragon and continue her rivalry with Georgia.
I'm gonna repeat this so you understand: Beating Drayden is NOT her goal, so stop acting like she has nothing left to do because she has plenty. Dragonite is not the last dragon she's gonna get.
Proud claimer of Cyndaquil and Ezio Auditore from Assassin's Creed !!
Also proud claimer of Assassin's Creed 2 the game!!
Just became the proud claimer of the Marvel's Agent's of S.H.I.E.L.D. TV show ^_^!!!
U probably mean Dragonite could be stronger if he wouldn't put on such a sh*t. Dragonite has shown that is really powerful but if U can't control Ur power and can't focus in times U're losing that STRENGTH isn't worth anyhing! It's like sports !
Dragon claw was a deserved gift for working hard and kicking as*!
My Final B2-normal mode- team:
If we by "real closure" count achievement of someone goal, than Tracey is first character who was given that when becoming prof Oak assistant.
Speaking of other characters while May, Dawn and Brock to extent got partial closures being showed progress toward their dreams made, they still have open things in their stories for further build up.
While Misty and Maxy got no real conclusion at all.
Max because of no aging rule is doomed to forever rot at gym never getting first pokemon and start his own journey.
While Misty just randomly went back to gym out of obligation and necessity leaving her goal of becoming water master unfinished, not providing future plans and what she intends to do in life.
You don't need to revamp someone story to warrant his further stay in cast. There is something called sequel to previously established storyline.Because I don't think that the Iris' storyline is easily revampable like the Ash storyline (technically has 6 partial closures until now), May/Dawn storyline (happen one time with May) and Brock/Cilan/Misty storyline (they need a departure episode and go-go).
And im astonished by lack of imagination in here when it comes to characters, acting like "defeat of Drayden is ultimately end for Iris".
In narrative things don't work like that at all, with there not existing barriers and limitation in how much character can develop.
If character is wrapped up, writers can reopen story and do continuation taking him forward from where they stopped. If initial issues are resolved they can decide to introduce something they forgot to include first time around and develop new subplots around him which goes in correlation with his own motives and dreams.
Even if Iris defeats Drayden, that wont make her "dragon master" with there actually existing trials and tests its expected from someone to pass to ear such prestigious title.
Nor it would mean Iris suddenly has same amount of knowledge and skill about dragon types, like Drayden does.
That's same like saying "how winning one regional league would make Ash pokemon master" which is anything but true.
How many times did we saw Ash defeating stronger, more experienced trainers than he was, but does that make him equally skilled like they were? Not at all, with various parameters being involved in such battles such as luck, element of surprise, distraction etc.
Same applies to Iris, even if she beats Drayden that doesn't mean she is equally skilled trainer like he is nor it makes her dragon master material.
Lets draw parallel with real life here:
There are countless examples where top Tennis, Chess and all kind of other sport players win championship just to later on drop very early in tournament whether its because they aren't in top shape, because someone lower ranked managed to outsmart them with their tactic, because other strong player manage to surpass them etc.
People also forget how Iris game counterpart role in BW2 games becoming Champion, offers another direction through which character could be taken, trying to become champion in anime as well eventually. I wouldn't be surprised if she ends up as Alder or Cynthia apprentice, if writers take character through this route.
So whether Iris defeats Drayden or not, this doesn't mark end for character in anyway, being laughable in least hand to expect that writers replace someone in middle of generation.
Believe it or not, Iris story can be continued regardless of outcome in that battle.

(Tuesday, October 2nd) Final Score: Oakland 3, Texas 1 Oakland, CA (Sports Network) - Holding the outright AL West lead for the past 176 days, the Texas Rangers finally have some company. Derek Norris hit a go-ahead RBI single as part of a two-run fifth inning and the Oakland Athletics downed Texas, 3-1, and forged a tie for first place heading into the final day of the regular season. "I think you'll see both teams go at it pretty hard tomorrow," A's manager Bob Melvin said. "No advantages going into it tomorrow." Jonny Gomes smacked a solo homer for Oakland, which clinched a postseason berth with a victory over the Rangers on Monday. Oakland, which trailed Texas by 13 games in the division on June 30, has gone an MLB-best 56-26 since, while the Rangers have tallied a 43-39 mark. The A's are atop the AL West standings for the first time since March 29 and can take the division in a winner-take-all showdown against the Rangers on Wednesday. Oakland shared first place with the Mariners at 1-1 after it beat Seattle in Tokyo. Travis Blackley (6-4) fanned five and surrendered a run on three hits and two walks over six innings to notch the victory. Matt Harrison (18-11) struck out five, but allowed three runs on six hits and a walk over six frames for Texas, which has held the outright AL West lead since Apr. 9 when it was 3-1. "We know what it takes to win that one game so I think we'll be alright," Harrison said. With Oakland trailing 1-0 entering the home fifth, Josh Donaldson singled to center field and Brandon Moss hooked a double down the right-field line to put runners on second and third with none away. Norris then ripped a single to right, which plated Donaldson and Moss for a 2-1 A's advantage. Gomes cracked a two-out solo shot into the left-field seats in the sixth to make it 3-1. Ryan Webb worked around a leadoff single to keep it a 3-1 game in the eighth and Grant Balfour fired a 1-2-3 ninth and registered his 24th save of the year. Earlier, Josh Hamilton ripped a two-out RBI double into the right-center field gap to get Texas on the board in the third. Game Notes Only four teams in MLB history have come back from a deficit of 13-or-more games to win a pennant or division title: the 1914 Boston Braves (15 back on July 4), the 1978 New York Yankees (14 back on July 18), the 1951 New York Giants (13 back on Aug. 10) and the 1995 Seattle Mariners (13 back on Aug. 1). 10/03 02:56:33 ET Powered by The Sports Network. |

The Botan tests seem to be missing "-march=native".
Phoronix: GCC vs. LLVM Clang Is Mixed On The Ivy Bridge Extreme
Our latest Linux benchmarks from the Intel Core i7 4960X Ivy Bridge Extreme Edition processor are compiler tests on this $1000 USD processor. The last two stable releases of GCC and LLVM's Clang C/C++ compilers were compared: GCC 4.7.2, GCC 4.8.1, LLVM Clang 3.2, and LLVM Clang 3.3.
The Botan tests seem to be missing "-march=native".
What's really bad with the Botan tests is that they use -O2 which makes those tests worthless when it comes to comparing compiler vs compiler code performance. As I've explained to Michael over and over, there are no rules for which optimizations a compiler should add at -O2, meaning that if compiler A decides to enable more optimizations than compiler B at that level, A will win which in turn says nothing of how the compilers compare when set to their HIGHEST optimization level which is what you use when you want the FASTEST code, which again is what all tests except the 'build time' test here was measuring.
Again, this is why you compare the compilers at their highest optimization level (-O3, and when it was used GCC won all performance tests) because at this level the compilers compete on fair ground, which is to create the fastest binary they can. Now -O2 can be interesting as sometimes -O2 beats -O3 due to optimization heuristics failing, but only in the context of actually having -O3 results to compare with.
I don't know why Michael persist at doing this, unless he is consciously trying to cook the results in order to get some pointless Clang/LLVM wins.
I dont think Michael is cooking the books.
Perhaps he went with o2 because most people use it as default?
He is comparing the optimization between two compilers. Again, -O2 on one compiler has nothing to do with -O2 on another other than name and overall goal, it's just a loose balance the respective compiler developers choose between optimization and compilation time for -O2 on THEIR compiler, thus it's absolutely pointless to compare those when measuring the best performance the compiler can get out of a certain piece of code (which is what all tests but one did here).
Meanwhile -O3 is standard highest optimization level between these compilers, here compilers say -'never mind compile time, enable all the appropriate optimizations to create the fastest code we can', which means that this option it the only one worth using when comparing code performance (again what is done here) UNLESS you compare both -O2 and -O3 to see if this particular test is one of the few where -O2 beats -O3.
So as it stands this test is pointless in terms of which compiler can generate the fastest code for Botan, as we won't know that until he does this test using -O3.
Unlike you I'm leaning more and more towards Michael's well known Clang/LLVM bias being the reason for throwing in tests using -O2, as I can't see any other logical explanation as to why he continues to do this.
Now the Botan tests are worthless from a compiler vs compiler performance standpoint, which is sad because it would be interesting to see where CLang/LLVM stands against GCC in those tests aswell.
Don't forget, for gcc there's also:
Disregard strict standards compliance. -Ofast enables all -O3 optimizations. It also enables optimizations that are not valid for all standard-compliant programs. It turns on -ffast-math and the Fortran-specific -fno-protect-parens and -fstack-arrays.
s_j_newbury -Ofast sounds neat but unsafe as a default
If o3 does not create unsafe code, I have to side with XorEaxEax.
It would be nice to see the results of all 3 optimizations levels with benchmarks of performance/compile time.
Last edited by steverweber; 10-13-2013 at 12:16 PM.
XCode 5 also has a -Ofast (whose main effect is fast math, but also sets one or two other settings that I forget). I don't know if that has made it into mainline LLVM yet.
[XCode's defaults are also now for new projects to be very aggressive about assuming that pointers don't alias. It's likely that this is an Apple developer mandate (they provide guidelines about how you should write your code to not make use of aliased pointers, eg through use of unions rather than pointer casting), and that mainline LLVM is not as aggressive. So this is an interesting point, but may not be relevant to the Phoronix community which, I am guessing, is more interested in having crappy old code compile properly than in following a company mandate about how to write better performant new code.]
LLVM (and so XCode) also has link time (ie whole program) optimization, enabled by -O4. I imagine GCC has the same. It seems only sensible that this should be activated when both compilers are tested against each other. Apple slides showed that LTO made a substantial difference (5% to 20%) in performance, but of course that is against real world code that is split over a large number of files; it may have much less impact on these sorts of microbenchmarks.
What's not clear to me is the extent to which either LLVM or GCC have fully optimized their LTO pass. Apple had (PPC specific) tools fifteen years ago that could run whole program optimization and rearrange the function layout so that functions that called each other were packed together (and so took up less TLB coverage and shared overlapping cache lines). They used heuristics in the absence of anything better, but could be run with a profiling pass to get a better understanding of the hot call chains. But as far as I know, the LLVM LTO does not (yet?) do this sort of thing, and I have zero idea about GCC.
You can do even better with LTO (either heuristics or profile-directed). Rather than rearranging and repacking the code based on functions, you can do so based on basic-blocks so that if(!error){...}else(/*handle error*/...} moves the error handling code far away to the end of your binary. Now your actual binary (on disk and in RAM) looks like a series of basic blocks that jump between each other, not a series of functions --- looks weird yes, and more difficult to reverse-engineer from binary, but perfectly legit and not in any way fragile. Obviously this gives you even better utilization of both your I$ and your TLB. This has been done academically but I don't know if any commercial products (ICC? Dev Studio?) use it. You can also do the same sort of repacking with global/static data layout to try to get data that is frequently used together on the same cache line.
Oh, one thing to add to my earlier comment.
LLVM (and maybe GCC, but I don't know there) will not automatically vectorize many FP loops if fast-math is not enabled because getting the loop to vectorize requires re-ordering FP operations. This means that using fast-math, if your code allows it, can affect performance by quite a bit more than you might imagine.

Mapping the response to BP oil spill
Tuesday - 6/15/2010, 12:57pm EDT
The dynamic nature of the BP oil spill has been a challenge for a range of communities - from hotel operators to fishermen to local community leaders. We know the American people have questions about how the federal government is responding to this crisis, and we are committed to providing the answers with clarity and transparency. GeoPlatform.gov/gulfresponse is a new online tool that provides you with near-real time information about the response effort. Developed by NOAA with the EPA, U.S. Coast Guard, and the Department of Interior, the site offers you a "one-stop shop" for spill response information.

There are a million ways to skin a cat but it's this straightforward....be at least league average at every position while being as much above average as possible at as many positions as possible.
There are a million ways to skin a cat but it's this straightforward....be at least league average at every position while being as much above average as possible at as many positions as possible.
"This isnt stats vs scouts - this is stats and scouts working together, building an organization that blends the best of both worlds. This is the blueprint for how a baseball organization should be run. And, whether the baseball men of the 20th century like it or not, this is where baseball is going."---Dave Cameron, U.S.S. Mariner
Here's a quote from Hardball Talk:
The highest average since 1974, the first year of reliable RISP stats, by a team with runners in scoring position was .311 by Detroit in 2007. The Cardinals shattered that number by going 447 for 1,355, or .330. They did this in a season when averages across baseball with runners in scoring position were at a low for the past decade.
The Cards scored 80 to 100 runs more than other teams with similar OPS's, in one case a higher OPS.
BTW, the Tigers sanwiched that .311 season with .277 and .268. So, it would appear they were only able to sustain it for the one season.
The Cards BA in 2012 was .271, and they had a .264 BA with RISP. So, their ability to hit with RISP was new to 2013.
But I forget, they had runners on base all the time last year.
They had 10% or more baserunners than only one team in the NL, but scored 12% or more runs than every team in the NL. And based on averages, they had 5% more baserunners than the average team in the NL, and 21% more runs.
So really, yes.
_Sir_Charles_ (01-20-2014)
One more reason why I'm not that concerned with the Reds going into 2014. The cards offense is due for regression, the pirates pitching is due for regression, the Reds offense is due for an improvement to the norm for MANY players. I'll take our chances with our pitching and defense against anybody.

45. perhaps a clever skin inspector costume might pull the trick.
46. accuse cat of murder. collect skin as evidence.
47. using a magnetic hypersonic resonance decapacitor, deplete invisible bond holding together cat's skin molecules.
48. flood the cat out of it's skin, in the same way you'd flood a gopher out of a hole.

It will regress in RISP for sure, but I dont think it will see a huge regression. Craig's OPS was about 50 points lower than his career average heading into last season. His power was down in all categories along with Holliday and Beltran. I attribute this loss of power to how cavernous Busch stadium was last season. It was a cooler summer with sickeningly high humidity. The ball did not carry at all. I expect meteorological conditions to return to their norm of extremely hot and extremely humid from june-august and maybe a few more balls will go out.
Matt Adams is a better hitter than many on this board give him credit for. His minor league OPS was .930, and he was very impressive with the limited starts and pinch hitting appearances this season. 17 hr in a half season of at bats is impressive. He is not just a fat Chris Duncan.
Not to mention that if Taveras has a nice spring there may be a L/R platoon in CF with Bourjous. In Bourjous's one real season he was much better against LHP. He and taveras could be powerful platoon and they could rotate over to give craig and Holliday days off. The cardinals will also be able to steal bases this season, something they have never been able to do. Wong and Bourjous will be expected to grab between 30 and 40 more stolen bases.
Where is the reds offense expected to improve much? Cozart is what he is, Phillips is trending down on his career, Frazier may rebound up to league average, but i wouldn't hold my breath because pitchers seemed to find lots of holes in that swing last year. Ludwick will hardly improve LF, if at all. Heisey, and especially Paul filled in pretty admirably last season. The loss of Choo can not be overstated. His production was a huge percentage of the reds offense and right now a .651 AAA ops is what is going to replace him.
The defensive gap between the two teams has also shrunk this off season. Cards improved their defense at 5 positions. Decreased it a little at SS.
The reds don't need to be shaking in their boots, but they are a worse team than they were this time last year, and the cardinals are better team than they were this time last year.
.264 in 2012
.330 in 2013
...and you don't think it'll be a huge regression in that category? I think someone's in for a bit of a disappointment.
If everything breaks the same way for both teams and then you simply look at the team additions...then yeah, your narrative is correct. But without ANY roster changes for either club I'd expect simple normalization would nearly flip the standings. Yes, Craig should have more power...but do you expect the rest of the roster to play like they did? Come on, be realistic and rational...look at their career trends.

The RISP will absolutely regress. Overall offensive production won't regress very much though.
The rest of the roster has shown this is how they play. Carpenter probably won't be as good in '14 but he should still be a force. I think he will OPS .840 this year. His MiLB OPS was .858. He is in his prime and is a damn good player.
Who else on the roster performed over their head, even a little?
edit: Sorry, Peralta. Even if he does regress he is still much more productive than Kozma.

I'm not sure how that is even possible.
Teams with the Card's OPS last year scored about 80 runs less than they did.
They are going to have to hit quite abit better than they did last year if their RISP regresses to a normal level. Looking back over the last few years, teams with the same amount of runs as the Cards had, OPS'ed about 40 points higher.
I don't think you understand how much the .330 BA with RISP affected the run scoring.
And they lost Beltran.
_Sir_Charles_ (01-20-2014)
It's only fair that I play.
First, I'll go with #1 in the National League.
Now, it's just trying to guess how much above .270 they'll be.
But, before I do that, I have to mention that it wasn't just about their .330 Avg. Without looking it up again, they had about a .408 OBP and a .457 SLG, for an .865 OPS. So, it wasn't just about them having some singles "luckily" bounce where there weren't gloves. They were patient. They were aggressive on the right pitches. They raked the ball when they made contact. They were simply phenomenal with RISP the entire "regular" season (except for the playoffs, where pitching and defense took over, as it usually does).
I think they'll have the #1 Avg w/ RISP in the NL.
They'll have the #1 Obp w/ RISP in the NL.
They'll have the #1 Slg w/ RISP in the NL.
They'll have the #1 Ops w/ RISP in the NL.
And, to finally answer the question....I'll go with a .282 AVG w/ RISP, .348 OBP w/ RISP, .420 SLG w/ RISP, and .768 OPS w/ RISP.
If they get a .768 OPS with RISP (but are better in those situations due to their patience, being aggesive on the right pitches, and raking the ball when they make contact), their offense will take quite dip next year.
You can't lose 100 points of OPS with RISP and not score quite a bit less.
BTW, the Reds last year had a .744 OPS with RISP, including a .363 OBA.
You are forgetting that with no runners on last season most cardinals OPSd far below their career averages.
Bases empty OPS (With freese and beltran gone they are irrelevant)
Craig- .714
Molina- .738
Holliday- .761
Jay- .607
Adams- .638
The law averages will take care of this too.

New York Times best-seller!
"From 1985 until Watterson abandoned it at the height of its popularity 10 years later, Calvin and Hobbes echoed the classic strips the artist most admired. Stirring the richly conceived characters and efficient drawing of Peanuts with the visual virtuosity and linguistic playfulness of Pogo and Krazy Kat, he applied his intelligence and supple cartoon skills to come up with a creation beloved by the millions who still mourn its passing. Now, a decade after his demise, six-year-old Calvin has a fitting monumenta lavishly produced . . . boxed collection of all the strips."
Art Spiegleman, starred review, Publishers Weekly
"Watterson's imaginative approach to his material and his inventive graphics have made Calvin and Hobbes one of the few universally admired by other cartoonists." --Charles Solomon, Los Angeles Times Book Review
Calvin and Hobbes is unquestionably one of the most popular comic strips of all time. The imaginative world of a boy and his real-only-to-him tiger was first syndicated in 1985 and appeared in more than 2,400 newspapers when Bill Watterson retired on January 1, 1996. The entire body of Calvin and Hobbes cartoons was originally published in hardcover as a truly noteworthy tribute to this singular cartoon in The Complete Calvin and Hobbes. Available for the first time in paperback, these four full-color volumes in a sturdy slipcase include all the Calvin and Hobbes cartoons that ever appeared in syndication. This is the treasure that all Calvin and Hobbes fans seek.
Bill Watterson is the creator of Calvin and Hobbes, one of the most popular and well-regarded cartoon strips of the twentieth century.Calvin and Hobbes appeared in newspapers from November 1985 until Watterson's retirement in 1996.

Midwest Living Review
Fort Abraham Lincoln State Park is so much more than a campground; it's a piece of North Dakota history. With the home of General Custer, along with Native American earthlodges and infantry forts, this park has plenty to see and do.
Located along the Missouri River, the campground's cottonwood trees shelter guests from North Dakota winds. All RV sites have water and electric hook-up, and there is ample room between campsites in both the modern and primitive camping areas. The campground has one clean and well-maintained shower facility with flush toilets; otherwise, vault toilets are located throughout the grounds. Visitors can enjoy nice walking and biking trails, along with a small beach for fishing, but swimming is prohibited.
While at the campground, don't miss the tour of the Custer House and On-A-Slant Indian Village, offered daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ($6/adults, $4/students). Interpreters dress as infantry soldiers and prairie women and take you back to the days of Custer in 1875. Visitors tour the Custer House, the barracks and the Indian Village earthlodges. A museum offers additional information about Fort Lincoln and the area. Before you leave, be sure to go to the top of the hill and see the view from atop one of the infantry forts.

All the pictures on this website are of our plants taken here in our Sussex nursery. We try to show realistic pictures at all times of what our plants and trees look like each week and accompany the pictures with up-to-date descriptions. Because we specialise in plants as gifts, we only advertise what is looking good and in season. Flowering plants are generally sent in bud or flower and are clearly described alongside current pictures. Fruiting plants and citrus trees are shown how they will actually be delivered this week - whether that's in bloom or with fruits already set, that is how they will arrive with you. We know it's hard when ordering plants online but with us, what you see, really is what you get.
We specialize in plant gifts and we know that with a gift it's so important that your plant arrives in perfect condition. We take great care over every single order and hand-wrap and pack each plant with care instructions and a handwritten full-size greeting card. All our plants are sent in specially designed plant boxes and our standard delivery is an express 'overnight' service. We are proud of our customer service, and are here to help if you ever need to make any changes to your order or if you have any queries.

'When Things Get Strange'
22 June 2009
'When Things Get Strange'
Barcelona. Production rehearsals.
Having had an 'early' night at 4am, I was up and about at an uncharacteristically early hour which drew a series of sarcastic comments from my tour-mates. Part of my desire to get out of bed was driven by the knowledge that the U2360 stage design was being featured in the design section of the International Herald Tribune. I'd read the text online last night but there's always the added thrill of opening the newspaper and seeing the pictures. It's a good little piece, with four images including a picture of the PopMart stage as historical reference. In 1997 I could never have imagined that one day that stage would seem petite. Another interesting thing was that there were two computer renderings of the 360 stage (the CAD models we used to build the thing) and also a photograph of the actual stage in the stadium. It was quite startling that you had to look very closely to tell which was which.
When the band came in we made a plan to rehearse some different show endings. We sat for a couple of hours, drew up two song lists, printed them up and distributed them to the vital people. Then they went out on stage and played something entirely different which was highly entertaining. Technically, things are just getting on their feet in show control world at front of house, but sudden changes still throw the whole process into crisis management mode which makes for good viewing. We got through it however and made a couple of useful discoveries. During the final few songs I climbed high up into the stadium for the first time in quite a few days. The sight almost took my breath away, which I know sounds daft, but it's greatly encouraging. If this thing has the capacity to surprise me of all people, I have high hopes for what it will mean to a first time viewer.
Our after run-through discussion was followed by another night of programming. For the first time since I arrived in Barcelona I felt extremely tired and was struggling to stay with it as we rolled into the wee hours. I knocked off about 6am though, so hopefully that will put me back on a normal schedule.
Tuesday, 23rd June 2009. Barcelona. Production rehearsals.
Got up around 2pm and headed to our little lounge for some tea and the New York Times crossword. I was stuck on the last couple of clues in the southeast quadrant when Kremen from publicity arrived. He's a smart guy and between us we managed to figure it out. The clue 'Da-DUM, da-DUM, da-DUM', which I recognised as an iambic rhythm turned out to be IAMBS, which was a tough one and also (I would claim) not entirely accurate. 'Da-DUM, Da-DUM
Da-DUM' I could accept as being a sequence of three iambs but simply 'Da-DUM, da-DUM, da-DUM' I'd say was stretching things as it would far more accurately be described as an iambic sequence. Anyhow, don't get me started.
Took an hour or so to reboot myself and didn't get back to the stadium til about 6.30pm. The band were in good form, having just finished filming headshots of themselves doing a highly peculiar 'head-butting' dance for a new part of the show conceived amid the chaos of last night's quick-change rehearsal. It's a development of the Real Thing rave section, being a mad dance mix of I'll Go Crazy. I do enjoy it when things get strange.
We did a full run through of a new set list with not enough songs in it, working on the principle that it was better to lock in the parts that are working, rather than going into a tailspin over the parts which aren't.. Unbelievably we still have another six nights of rehearsal if we want and we're already working on the kind of details that we don't normally get to until about two weeks into a tour. Programming continued through the night again. The video team were doing mostly technical housekeeping, which is vital with a system as extremely complicated as what we're dealing with. Lighting were working on a mechanical rave look for the head-butting part of the show which I hope will survive through the next week as it promises to be really fun. We worked until the sun came up and the daylight defeated us. I was feeling great though, back in the swing of it after a wobbly night last night.
It was very quiet in the stadium as we were leaving and the birds were kicking off. I've noticed them on previous mornings, there are really complex birdsongs going on which are just enchanting after a night of rock music. In the van, 6.30am, heading back to the Hotel Complicated, feeling quietly thrilled about this delicate monster we've made.

No reviews written for this product
Imperiale by Guerlain is a scent that my son decided he liked after not wearing any fragrance for years because they were "too much." I bought him a bottle for Father's Day and he wanted another for his birthday. He likes the fact that it fades quickly and leaves a subtle scent thereafter. This fragrance has been around for over a hundred years, so it must have something special. I was pleased with the ease of ordering and it arrived on time.

Read Review details ►For an elegant, well heeled man. 40+ age man. This is not for the 30sh man that wears cologne for dates. There is no musk or weird stuff that is put in today's men's fragrances. First one I bought for my husband more than 30 yrs ago and keep buying. So glad to see it her. Not a common one. Fresh, clean, love to come close to his face. For the groom, father, graduation. This man is on top of his game, honestly

Read Review details ►I found "Imperial" by Guerlain in the 1960's while living in old Mexico. I wear it mostly during hot weather month. The fragrance is fresh and goes anyplace. I was always splashing "4711" on me. Now I go happily with this nice scent. Both men and women would like this

Read Review details ►First found this cologne when I was in my 20's. Thrilled to find it again 30 years later. Great casual-lemony citrus scent.
Written by Scott on November 20, 2013
Read Review details ►A wonderful. classic scent. Very unlike many of the more "modern" colognes that make one smell like a field animal in heat. If heavy scents are a must, this is not for you.

Report | 2014 An Economy Doing Half Its Job: Findings of Harvard Business School's 2013–14 Survey on U.S. Competitiveness Michael E. Porter and Jan Rivkin In 2013–14, Harvard Business School (HBS) conducted its third alumni survey on U.S. competitiveness. Our report on the findings focuses on a troubling divergence in the American economy: large and midsize firms have rallied strongly from the Great Recession, and highly skilled individuals are prospering. But middle and working-class citizens are struggling, as are small businesses. We argue that such a divergence is unsustainable, explore its root causes, and examine actions that might mitigate it. We ask in particular, how can we create a U.S. economy in which firms both thrive in global competition and lift the living standards of the average American?

Manufacturers are offering to help you sell your old airplane when you purchase a new one. Should you let them?
Bizav Basics
February 11, 2015
The owner-approval process can nix your charter booking—even at the last minute.
August 4, 2014
When you're buying a jet, months of work culminate the moment you sign the papers. You're finished with research, analysis, due diligence and inspections. You've had the last of your consultations with brokers, attorneys, accountants, pilots and mechanics. The marathon has been run and now you can reap the rewards.
July 22, 2014
Which of the major bizav access models—charter, jet card or fractional ownership—best suits you? To begin to answer that question, determine which of the statements below apply to you. If more than half of the statements for an access option apply, it could be a good choice. Note, though, that not all statements carry equal weight; the hours you fly annually can trump other factors in determining whether a solution is appropriate.
July 20, 2014
Given the complexity of the deal and the money at stake, making a business aircraft change hands can seem almost like an act of magic. And as in Disney's The Sorcerer's Apprentice, acts of this sort are best left to professionals—specifically, aircraft brokers and their teams.
July 10, 2014
As soon as its first owner departs from the manufacturer's delivery center, a new airplane technically becomes used (or preowned). For various reasons, however, 10 years after an aircraft's final production date is generally considered the milestone separating "newer" used business aircraft from "older" ones.
July 9, 2014
Here's a look at the world's leading business jet manufacturers and their current and upcoming models.
July 7, 2014
Given the amount of money involved, picking the right way to employ business aviation is one of the most critical financial decisions you can face. Unless you're buying a whole aircraft, the first choice you have to make is what access model would best suit your needs, be it a fractional share, a jet card or traditional charter. Then you need to decide which company or companies to use.
March 4, 2014
Hindsight is 20/20—and in the fractional-share business, foresight may at best be about 20/1,000. In a market like today's and with a rapidly evolving product like fractional, even the most seasoned insiders seem to lack a clear sense of what's next.
March 4, 2014
Last Fall, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) unveiled proposed rules for enhancing protection for air charter customers. Since then, several influential charter brokers have gone on record as saying the proposals don't go far enough—even though brokers are the primary targets of those rules.

" While it may be tempting to use broad generalizations about the way business aircraft are most often used in America today, let's not neglect the importance of business aviation as a crucial competitive asset to companies, an economic driver and lifeline to communities large and small. "

text: Man�s best friend deserves the very best. So, which dog leash is best? The answer is subjective. What�s best for you and your pet may not work for another person and their dog. Learn about the various types of dog leashes and pick the one that is right for you and your dog. The leash. The dog leash is not so much an accessory to your dog�s style as it is a tool for you to use in the care and handling of your dog. Cesar Milan, the noted dog genius, recommends the simple leash and collar system for well-behaved dogs that don�t give their owners much, if any, trouble on the walk. When walking your dog, who should be at your side or slightly behind you, the leash and collar is a great option that is simple to manage. The slip. Not all dogs are perfect princes and princesses on their walks. If your dog has issues with behavior such as inattentiveness or distracts easily when you take him or her out for the daily constitutional, you may wish to try the slip collar type of leash. With the slip color, you can give a quick and firm pull to the side. This will correct your dog�s behavior humanely and in a way that he or she will understand right away. Pulling back on the collar will cause your dog to pull up against you�not helpful. The Illusion. The illusion collar is a type of slip collar and leash system that is hard to get wrong. The illusion collar is designed to position the collar in a fail-safe position, at the top of the neck. It is safer, and the dog is sensitive in that part of the neck, so pulling to the side in a short, quick motion will not take much effort. The harness. With the harness leash system, your dog is your engine. The harness will distribute the weight he or she is pulling evenly and comfortably, so go for a bike ride or get back to Rollerblading and bring your dog with you. If your dog�s face is flat like a bulldog�s, the harness is great because it will not restrict breathing, which is already a bit restricted.
