PADRES: Hunter makes it, Cabrera doesn't
Rookie OF a surprise; Padres acquire Gonzalez from Nats
PHOENIX, Ariz. -- Emotions were wide-ranging on Monday afternoon as the Padres got closer to filling out their 25-man roster.
Outfielder Cedric Hunter had to convince his father of the surprise news he made the Padres' opening-day roster. Meanwhile Everth Cabrera -- who believed he had made the team -- learned he would start at Triple-A Tucson when the Padres acquired utility infielder Alberto Gonzalez from the Washington Nationals for a minor-leaguer.
The Padres also announced right-handed pitcher Mat Latos is among six players who will begin the season on the disabled list. Latos (sore shoulder) and utility man Eric Patterson (strained hamstring) will both be placed on the 15-day disabled list. Both moves are retroactive to March 22.
"I was speechless," said Hunter, who had been sent to Triple-A Tucson on March 15 but was recalled because Patterson won't be ready for Thursday's season opener. Hunter hit .435 with the Padres with a home run and 10 RBIs before he was sent down. "I was like a little kid.
"My dad thought I was playing around and then he kind of got emotional on me."
Cabrera was at the opposite end of the spectrum.
His parents called him earlier in the day and he received congratulations from several teammates who had read reports indicating Cabrera made the squad. Black said he never told Cabrera he made the club.
"It's a little hard, but I know it happens in baseball," Cabrera said. "I feel good. I'm ready for anything."
The Padres sent minor-league pitcher Erik Davis -- who is 32-9 in the minors -- to the Nationals in exchange for Gonzalez, who general manager Jed Hoyer identified as a solid defender at second base, shortstop and third base. Hoyer said the deal is as important because it allows Cabrera to play every day at Tucson and it gives manager Bud Black with a solid defensive replacement in the middle infield.
The Padres were hoping Cabrera would start at Tucson because they want him to continuing to develop. Cabrera acknowledged he made an "unbelievable" jump from Single-A to the Padres and said he's happy to be playing every day.
Gonzalez is a career .253 hitter with two homers and 49 RBIs in parts of four seasons in the majors.
"We like (Gonzalez's) glove, we like his versatility," Hoyer said. "We like what Alberto brings to our club and what it does for Cabby's career."
Black said the Padres are pleased with Latos' progress since he reported his sore shoulder last Wednesday. Latos will play catch on Tuesday, Black said.
"He's getting better," Black said. "He's turned a corner on this and the medical staff feels good about where this is."
The team still hasn't determined who will start in St. Louis on Sunday, though Hoyer said the Padres will open the season with a 12-man pitching staff. The rest of the roster is expected to be finalized on Tuesday.
Cory Luebke said he made the club and will pitch out of the bullpen. Wade LeBlanc will start at Triple-A Tucson. Both were in competition for the fifth spot in the rotation, which doesn't come up until April 11.

Definition: This entry gives the average annual number of deaths during a year per 1,000 population at midyear; also known as crude death rate. The death rate, while only a rough indicator of the mortality situation in a country, accurately indicates the current mortality impact on population growth. This indicator is significantly affected by age distribution, and most countries will eventually show a rise in the overall death rate, in spite of continued decline in mortality at all ages, as declining fertility results in an aging population.

Family spends hours making monster suits
ST. JOE (AP) — Jonah, the Old Testament character who spent some time in the belly of a fish, has nothing on Kyle Baker.
The young St. Joe man has been in the belly of Godzilla. Unlike the reluctant Jonah, however, Baker is more than willing to enter the belly of the beast. In fact, he sees it as a chance to further his career.
July 30 is deadline to pre-register for White River 4-Mile Classic race
The pre-registration deadline for entering the White River 4-Mile Classic Road Race is July 30, announced Joe Pool, one of the race organizers.

Pool also reminded runners that training runs on the course are scheduled for each Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 7:30 and at 6 a.m. on Saturday. On Saturday July 31, the training run is set for 7:30 a.m., the same time of the race the next Saturday.
Local All-Stars finish 2nd in state
Batesville's 10-year-old All-Stars won two baseball tournaments and finished second in the Cal Ripken North Arkansas State Tournament.
After winning the Gold Ring Classic and the District 3 tourney, they reached the title round of the state tourney before falling to the host team. Batesville defeated Bentonville 8-5, Johnson County 11-0 and Springdale 11-1. They fell to Mountain Home in two 1-run contests (6-5 and 8-7).
NWTF invests thousands in habitat improvement
EDGEFIELD, S.C. — The National Wild Turkey Federation's Arkansas chapters have budgeted $23,750 from the state Hunting Heritage Super Fund to invest in habitat enhancements in Arkansas in 2010, said publicist Shannon Coggin.
The NWTF Super Fund is administered jointly by the NWTF, its state and provincial chapters and wildlife agencies.
NWTF volunteers in Arkansas have raised and spent more than $2.1 million on wildlife habitat enhancements, wild turkey restoration, education, outreach and more within the state – $1.1 million of which was designated to habitat projects.
Not all hunters are young, male
Being a wild woman 50 years ago was unusual, but the ladies of the forest in those days were true hunters. Lauwanna "Wanna" Woodruff took up hunting with a passion in her youth, and today, at age 88, she can still show dedicated sportsmen how it should be done.
Wanna's obsession for hunting burns as brightly today as it did in the early 1950s. Wanna and her little sister Druzilla "Boozie" Glenn (age 80) each tagged eight-point bucks last year, and turkey hunting still pulls them to the woods each spring. Wanna also hunts doves, squirrels, rabbits and other small game.

DEFINITION of 'Budget Control Act - BCA'
A federal statue passed by Congress and signed into law by President Barack Obama on Aug. 2, 2011. The Budget Control Act (BCA) of 2011 was enacted in response to the 2011 Debt Ceiling Crisis. The purpose of the BCA was to increase the United States' debt ceiling, thereby avoiding the risk of sovereign default that was set to occur on or about Aug. 3, 2011. In addition, the BCA contained procedures for reducing the deficit by a minimum of $2.1 trillion over the fiscal year 2012 to fiscal year 2021 period (a 10-year period).
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Budget Control Act - BCA'
In the U.S., a debt ceiling has been in place since 1917. If the debt ceiling were hit, the U.S. could default on interest payments to creditors, the consequences of which could be late, partial or missed payments to federal pensioners, Social Security and Medicare recipients and higher future interest rates at which the U.S. could borrow. The 2011 U.S. Debt Ceiling Crisis brought the country close to default risk before the BCA was enacted to immediately raise the debt ceiling and cut the deficit. The BCA allowed an immediate increase of $400 billion to the debt ceiling, bringing the fiscal year 2013 spending cap to $1.047 trillion. The BCA also required a Super Committee to develop measures to cut $1.5 trillion in spending over 10 years. The BCA stipulated that if the Super Committee fails to propose by the end of 2012 a minimum of $1.2 trillion in cuts that will occur over 10 years, automatic spending cuts will occur in January 2013. These automatic spending cuts are called sequestration. Since the Super Committee failed to make a proposal reducing the deficit, sequestration will occur in January 2013 unless Congress takes legislative action to avoid what is called the Fiscal Cliff.

We can expect more drift smoke in our area today (September 1), given the number of wildfires in southern California. Though there are no fires in our immediate area, the Oak Glen Fire continues to burn, at now roughly 1,100 acres, though has not resulted in a closure of Highway 38; there is also now the Pendleton Fire, which started in the Yucaipa area yesterday afternoon. The San Bernardino National Forest reports some good news, as the Cottonwood Fire, in the San Jacinto mountains near Hemet, is 100% contained as of last night. All are encouraged to be fire safe and, to that end, the San Bernardino National Forest has implemented additional restrictions, effective today—those heightened fire restrictions dictate that there are to be no wood or charcoal fires anywhere on the forest. If visiting the forest, please remain on designated roads and never park on dry brush or grass, and limit smoking to enclosed vehicles, buildings and developed recreation sites. (For more info on forest restrictions, see our story posted August 31.)

How do I calculate prop slip for my six pack test?

Back when I took the test, I do not believe that prop slip was a part of it. The formula given by JEFryar is the easiest way to get it. You can basically think of it as a measure of how far you should have gone(determined by the pitch and the rpm) and how far you went(determined by boat speed) expressed as a percent.
For those of you debating between studying on your own and taking a course, unless you are a really good book learner on a budget, seriously consider taking a course. You will end up spending less time in the end and it is a really good way to meet other people interested in doing what you want to do. Check into the specific school that you are thinking of beforehand because there are stories of really bad teaching but also some of really good teaching. I was not going to take the course but got talked into it by a friend and feel now that it was definitely the right thing to do.
Out of curiosity, those of you looking at license, what are you planning to do with the license? Are you actually going to put it to use or just have it and consider it a good educational experience?

Andy Riceposted an image about La Sportiva Helios Trail Running Shoe - Men's on April 14, 2014
Helios in action
Still going strong on these after 11 months of use! I 'upgraded' from the Vertikal K. More protection in the sole but still maintains its minimal feel. I usually run on the Shoreline trail on the east bench behind SLC, UT and stick to runs under 10 miles. I take out my Nathan water bottle, which keeps a nice, minimal set up. NAT0040

Data journalism ebook now on Amazon's Kindle Store

New ebook now ready! Learn basic spreadsheet skills with Data Journalism Heist
I've written a short ebook for people who are looking to get started with data journalism but need some help.
Data Journalism Heist covers two simple techniques for finding story leads in spreadsheets: pivot tables and advanced filters.
Neither technique requires any formulae, and there are dozens of local datasets (and one international one) to use them on.
In addition the book covers how to follow leads from data, and tell the resulting story, with tips on visualisation and plenty of recommendations for next steps.
You can buy it from Leanpub here. Comments welcome as always.
Web security for journalists – takeaway tips and review
Early in Alan Pearce's book on web security, Deep Web for Journalists, a series of statistics appears that tell a striking story about the spread of surveillance in just one country.
199 is the first: the number of data mining programs in the US in 2004 when 16 Federal agencies were "on the look-out for suspicious activity".
Just six years later there were 1,200 government agencies working on domestic intelligence programs, and 1,900 private companies working on domestic intelligence programs in the same year.
As a result of this spread there are, notes Pearce, 4.8m people with security clearance "that allows them to access all kinds of personal information". 1.4m have Top Secret clearance.
But the most sobering figure comes at the end: 1,600 – the number of names added to the FBI's terrorism watchlist each day.
Predictive policing
This is the world of predictive policing that a modern journalist must operate in: where browsing protesters' websites, making particular searches, or mentioning certain keywords in your emails or tweets can put you on a watchlist, or even a no-fly list. An environment where it is increasingly difficult to protect your sources – or indeed for sources to trust you.
Alan Pearce's book attempts to map this world – and outline the myriad techniques to avoid compromising your sources. Continue reading
Scraping using regular expressions in OutWit Hub – part 2: special characters, negative matches and more
In the second part of this extract from Chapter 10 of Scraping for Journalists I recap the basics before discussing techniques to use in looking for patterns in data, and how regex can deal with non-textual characters such as spaces and carriage returns, special characters such as backslashes, and 'negative matches'. You can find the first part here.
How-to: Scraping ugly HTML using 'regular expressions' in an OutWit Hub scraper
The following is the first part of an extract from Chapter 10 of Scraping for Journalists. It introduces a particularly useful tool in scraping – regex – which is designed to look for 'regular expressions' such as specific words, prefixes or particular types of code. I hope you find it useful.
This tutorial will show you how to scrape a particularly badly formatted piece of data. In this case, the UK Labour Party's publication of meetings and dinners with donors and trade union general secretaries.
To do this, you'll need to install the free scraping tool OutWit Hub. Regex can be used in other tools and programming as well, but this tool is a good way to learn it without knowing any other programming. Continue reading
Magazine Editing – 3rd edition now out (disclosure: I edited it)
UPDATE: Readers of this blog can now get a 20% discount off the book by using the code ME1211 when ordering on the Routledge site.
Magazine Editing is one of those books that I've used for years in my teaching. Unlike most books in the field, it has a healthy focus on the less glamorous aspects of running magazines, such as managing teams and budgets, editorial strategy, and the significant proportion of the industry – B2B, contract publishing, controlled-circulation, subscription-based – that you don't see on supermarket shelves.
For the third edition, publishers Routledge approached me to update the book for a multiplatform age. That work is now done – and the new edition is now out.
Although it now has my name on it, the book remains primarily the work of John Morrish, who wrote the first two editions of the book. Editing his work gave me a fresh appreciation of just what a timeless job he has done in identifying the skills needed by magazine editors – as I write in the introduction:
"It is striking how much of the advice in the book is more important than ever. In a period of enormous change it is key to focus on the core skills of magazine editing: clear leadership, effective management, people skills and creative thinking around what exactly it is that your readers are buying into – whether that's printed on paper, pixels on a screen, or something intangible like a sense of community and belonging."
So if you can find one of the older editions cheap, you'll still find it useful.
So what did I add to the new edition of Magazine Editing? It goes without saying that digital magazines (web-only, apps) are now covered. The diversification of revenue models – the increased importance of events, merchandising, data, mobile and apps – is now explored, as well as how online advertising works, and how it differs from traditional advertising. How to use online resources, including web analytics, to better understand your audience and inform your editorial strategy; and how magazine campaigns are changed by the dynamics of the web.
The chapter on leading and managing now includes sections on managing information overload, social bookmarking and social media policies, and there's a new section on legal guidance on placements and internships. The budgeting sections now include online considerations, and there's an exploration of the pros and cons of using free or minimal cost third party services against building tools in-house. A passage from the section on 'Making money online' is illustrative of the shifts facing the industry:
"Like so much else on the web, it is becoming difficult to see where content ends and commerce begins. The concept of a 'magazine' blurs when, online, it can also be a shop, a game, or a tool. It helps to think of how the business model of magazines has traditionally worked: gathering a community of people in the same place (on your pages) where companies can then advertise their products and services. The same principle applies now, but the barriers to selling products and services yourself have been significantly lowered, just as the barriers to publishing content have been significantly lowered for those companies whose advertising used to fund print publishing. Integrity is no less important in this context: users will desert your website if your content is only concerned with selling them your products, just as they will desert if your events are badly organised, your merchandise poor quality, or your service shoddy. Publishers increasingly talk of a 'brand experience' of which the content is just one part. In many ways this makes the reader – as they also become a consumer – more powerful, and the advertiser less so. Your insights into what they are talking and reading about may be of increasing interest to those who are searching for new revenue streams."
The chapter on writing covers considerations in evaluating online sources of information and the debates in online journalism around objectivity versus transparency, and the values of a 'web-first' strategy. I also cover online tools for organising diaries and monitoring social media. There's an exploration of best practice guidelines in writing for the web, and when multimedia is appropriate or preferable.
The chapter on pictures and design now includes advice on dealing with web designers and developers, multiplatform design and branding, sourcing video for the web, copyright and Creative Commons, infographics, and image considerations for online publication. And 'Managing Production' covers search engine optimisation, scheduling online production, and online distribution. The penultimate chapter on legal considerations adds data protection, the role of archives in contempt of court, and website terms and conditions.
I end the book with a list of tools that allows the reader to get publishing right now. And aside from the legal developments, the new considerations, roles and stages in the production cycle, this is perhaps the most important change from previous editions: a student reading this book is no longer waiting for their first job in publishing: they should be creating it.
