It was perhaps the best middle-of-the-order combo the Red Sox have ever seen.
Three-four in the lineup. One lefty, the other righty. Both with superb plate discipline and extraordinary power. Simply put, from 2004-07, there was no place for opposing pitchers to hide when they entered into the meat of the Sox' order.
"The combination between me and Manny, where there were two guys who could hit 40 home runs a year, with 140-150 RBIs … it was something that people are still talking about today," Ortiz said Wednesday while appearing in the Salk & Holley show.
A few days earlier, it was Dustin Pedroia who was doing the talking.
"That was pretty darn good," the second baseman said regarding the Sox' old three-four dynamic.
But now, the Red Sox have uncovered something almost equally as tantalizing. It's not Manny and David. It's not a bunch of home runs. And it's not the kind of bases-clearing intimidation that has long defined the two spots in the batting order.
All of a sudden, Pedroia and Ortiz have emerged as one of the game's most productive middle-of-the order combinations.
Entering Thursday, the Red Sox batting order's three-four spots (almost exclusively manned by Pedroia and Ortiz this season) have combined to total the majors' third-best batting average (.316), the third-best OPS (.917) and the second-best on-base percentage (.390).
They are also better numbers than what the well-respected Adrian Gonzalez-Ortiz dynamic of '11 produced, with the three-four spots in the Red Sox order hitting .303 with an .889 OPS and .386 on-base percentage that season.
"Me and Manny were more power," Ortiz explained. "With me and Pedey, you're going to see more batting average than power numbers. But Pedroia, he's tough. Pitchers have to be really careful with him. I've watched his at-bats and pitchers have been really careful. They try and get him to chase bad pitches. That shows what kind of hitter he is."
"It's different," Pedroia added. "I've been a table-setter my whole career. You try to produce runs. It doesn't matter if you score them or drive them in."
At first, the combination reeked of a stopgap, putting Pedroia in a spot in which he had hit just 354 times his entire career entering the 2013 season. And the original plan of Red Sox manager John Farrell was to hit the second baseman in the No. 2 spot against right-handers, but that changed due to Shane Victorino's effectiveness against all pitchers.
Farrell knew Pedroia might not deliver the home runs usually befitting the No. 3 spot (the Red Sox are on pace to hit fewer than 10 homers in the No. 3 spot for just the fourth time since 1974) but that wasn't a concern. It was about getting hits and getting on base, and Pedroia was among the best on the team at both those things.
"So many people think he's a prototypical No. 2 guy, but … talk to any sabermetrician and they will say the batting order means nothing. Just have the best players on the field more often than not," Farrell said. "Then you secondarily go to matchups and alternating guys. Just get the best guys on the field and get them to the plate as many times as you can. Getting on base is the lead-in to scoring runs, so the more opportunities."
"You just try and be who you are," Pedroia said. "I remember the Indians teams back in the day. They had [Kenny] Lofton, [Omar] Vizquel, [Roberto] Alomar was hitting third and the mashers behind. Alomar wasn't that much of a home run threat. He got hits, scored runs, stole bases, hit doubles. You have to look at it like that."
The dynamic has worked.
For example, the No. 5 spot in the Red Sox batting order has more plate appearances with runners in scoring position than any other team in baseball this season. Compare that to Toronto, which has seen its No. 5 hitter totaling the second-fewest plate appearances with runners on base, and it has been a reminder to not jump to conclusions when it comes to defining a lineup.
It was the combination of Edwin Encarnacion and Jose Bautista, after all, that served as the impetus for Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos to roll out such an aggressive offseason.
"I think two key players for us are Edwin Encarnacion and Jose Bautista, they're two guys that are 30 and 31 years old," Anthopoulos said while appearing on WEEI's Hot Stove Show in November. "They're in the prime of their career. I don't know the next time if ever that as a GM I'm going to have two 40-home run hitters in the middle of a lineup. They're both under control for the next four years in the prime of their careers. We have to take advantage of that. As great as some of these young players are, I don't know that they're going to get up here and be impactful big league players in time to take advantage of those guys being in their primes. If it's three or four years from now, they're already gone. We've got to take advantage of having two premium middle-of-the-order power hitters. They're so hard to find. I think of obviously Manny and Ortiz all those years in the AL East. That was an incredible combo, and I think Bautista and Encarnacion have a chance to be comparable to those two."
But the problem for the Jays came when there weren't legitimate solutions in front of the duo, forcing Toronto manager John Gibbons to move his two sluggers up a spot in the order. And while Encarnacion (.886 OPS) and Bautista (.867) have been solid, their presence hasn't translated into the kind of middle-of-the-order production the Red Sox are experiencing.
In fact, the only two teams that have gotten the three-four punch offered by Pedroia and Ortiz have been Detroit (Miguel Cabrera, Prince Fielder, combined 1.962 OPS) and Colorado (Michael Cuddyer, Carlos Gonzalez, combined 1.955 OPS).
It is Cabrera and Fielder who continue to be compared to the Manny-Ortiz pairing. ("You're seeing in Detroit," the Sox DH said. "With Manny it was either me or him. As dangerous as he was, they would take their chances with me. Me and Manny, that was ridiculous.") But the Sox' current combo has subtly entered into the conversation.
"It has worked out pretty well," Ortiz said.

Hi All,
I'm just getting very excited about visiting North Korea when I learned moments ago that Malaysian actually don't need a visa to visit North Korea (source:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tourism_in_North_Korea#Visa).
Now, does that mean I can just buy a ticket and hop on a train, or plane, from Beijing to Pyongyang without involving any travel agency like KoryoTours?
Basically, I'm totally clueless how to proceed from knowing the fact 'Malaysia don't need visa to North Korea' to actually get myself in Pyongyang's soil. I'd greatly appreciate if y'all would provide guidance and info about that for me.

Could be, but as far as I know Koryo is a reputable company unlikely to be descending to such tactics. I looked into traveling with them myself at one point, but decided I didn't want to bother with a Chinese visa on that trip (you had to start from Beijing).

Hi Guys,
I appreciate the replies so far, really. I'd like to clarify that this was a sincere post that had nothing to do with promotions of whatever.
So looks like the consensus is I will have to deal with a travel agency after all.
Many thanks for the replies again.

Armenian troops keeps truce infringement
12 March 2014 [16:02] -
Armenian Armed Forces fired on the positions of Azerbaijani Armed Forces located in the village of Ashagi Eskipara of the Gazakh region from the positions located in the village of Voskepar of Armenia's Noyemberyan region on March 11. Meanwhile the Azerbaijani positions located in the villages of Alibeyli and Munjuglu of the Tovuz region were fired on from the positions located in the villages of Aygepar and Aygedzor of Armenia's Berd region, the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry said on March 12.
At the same time, the Azerbaijani Armed Forces were fired on from the positions located in the villages of Horadiz, Garakhanbeyli, Gorgan, Ashagi Seyidahmadli of the Fizuli region, Merzili, Javahirli of the Aghdam region, and Chilaburt of the Terter region.
The shooting was countered by return fire.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian armed forces have occupied 20 per cent of Azerbaijan since 1992, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.
Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia, France and the U.S. are currently holding peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four resolutions on the
liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding regions.

ACFAS Exhibits at AANP National Conference
Almost 5,000 nurse practitioners "took a new look at foot and ankle surgeons" last week at the American Association of Nurse Practitioners' (AANP) 2016 National Conference in San Antonio. ACFAS President Sean T. Grambart, DPM, FACFAS and staff were on hand in the College's booth during the conference and spoke to nurse practitioners from across the country on the value of referring patients to foot and ankle surgeons.
Dr. Grambart also spoke with AANP's Orthopaedic Group Chair and nurse practitioner Michael Zychowicz on ways for AANP and ACFAS to collaborate on future referral and educational programs. The next stop on the campaign trail for "Take a New Look at Foot and Ankle Surgeons" is at the American Association of Diabetes Educators in San Diego in August and the American Academy of Family Physicians in September in Orlando.

That's really the only good part about this submission, the fact that it kept my attention. I mean that's not to say that this submission is bad or anything, but it just had no real animation to it.

Frozen Bubble Might Be The Most Addictive Linux Game Of All
Waste your time the right way – shoot bubbles at similarly colored bubbles, in the hope of freeing the entire board of bubbles just long enough for more bubbles to show up. It's called Frozen Bubble, and it's more than a game.
Actually, it's not more than a game. It's a game, and for a long time it was one of the best put together games for Linux. That's not been true for a while – the platform has grown leaps and bounds for gamers since then – there's the Humble Indie Bundle and Steam for Linux, to name a few developments.
But before all of that, Frozen Bubble taught us all that Linux games didn't need to be ugly. It won Linux Journal's reader's choice award seven times, so clearly Linux users love it. The game hasn't aged perfectly, but it still runs well and the music simply couldn't be catchier. It's a worthy diversion.

Giving Linux and LibreOffice a Try for Your Home Office
Running your home office on a tight budget? There's a way to get all of your software—operating system (OS), productivity suite, scores of applications—completely free. It'll cost you, but not in the way you might think. This life-changing alternative is Linux, which gives you more flexibility, more have-it-your-way customization, and more control than Windows or OS X users could ever dream of. I caution that it'll cost you because it's decidedly not for everyone. While it's far friendlier today than it was a year or even six months ago, Linux still requires you to invest, nay, enjoy some time spent setting up and tinkering with your PC. Also: New LibreOffice Vulnerability Patched in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Debian and Arch Linux

Dragon Tarot by Peter Pracownik,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dragon Tarot Deck and Book Set (Paperback)
The dragon tarot cards have nice artwork on them, but they are not the easiest cards to read. Definitely not a good choice for a beginner, but a nice deck if you are a collector. For readings I suggest the following cards: Robin Wood, Hanson-Roberts, or Barbara Walker.

300-megawatt solar plant crosses regulatory threshold in Millard County
FILLMORE — A conditional-use permit outlining operational requirements for what would be Utah's first utility-scale commercial solar field was issued Tuesday to a Provo-based company.
Energy Capital Group received a go-ahead endorsement by the Millard County Commission for its 300-megawatt solar project called ECG Utah Solar 1.
"Energy Capital Group is very pleased to have another project milestone achieved," said Josh Case, Energy Capital Group's chief executive officer. "ECG looks forward to deepening our relationship with Millard County as the project continues to progress."
The $600 million project is on 1,754 acres leased from the Utah School and Institutional Trust Land Administration and includes a transmission easement to the Intermountain Power Project about a mile away.
Utah Solar 1 plans to tap into the Intermountain project switchyard, where a high-voltage transmission line, the Southern Transmission System, goes directly to Adelanto, Calif. The project will be considered an in-state or in-state equivalent for meeting California's renewable energy standard of 33 percent because the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power is the "balancing" authority at the Millard County switchyard.
Energy signed the SITLA lease in May 2013 and completed the required biological and cultural studies on the land that same summer. It is now receiving bids from engineering and construction firms.
The conditional-use permit granted by Millard County outlines certain requirements for Energy Capital Group, such as site vegetation protection, storm water control and what measures will be used to keep dust under control during its construction phase. The company has said more than 200 people will be employed by the project when the solar field is being constructed, which is still unsettled pending the negotiation of a power purchase agreement.
Last week, the world's largest solar thermal power project — the Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating system — opened in Nevada. The 392-megawatt project is delivering power to southern California.
Elsewhere in Utah solar developments, a legislative committee Tuesday deferred action on a measure that would have made it easier for small businesses and residential customers to purchase renewable energy.
HB110, sponsored by Rep. Kraig Powell, R-Heber City, would allow cities or counties to be a "contract customer" for the benefit of residents or small businesses.
Chris Thomas, executive director of HEAL Utah, said the bill would allow greater flexibility in the renewable energy market for those who are interested.
"People want more options," Thomas said. "They want to be able to support renewable energy."
The Solar Energy Industries Association also weighed in on what it said was an "innovative" piece of energy legislation.
"By permitting this previously stifled demand for renewable energy to be expressed in the marketplace, Rep. Powell's bill will create opportunities for the development of renewable energy production facilities across the state of Utah," said Carrie Cullen Hitt.
In a letter submitted to the House Political Subdivisions Committee, Hitt said the association's members want to get in a market in Utah that is poised to take off.
"Thousands of customers want to buy renewable energy but can't," she said.
Under the measure, cities and counties could "aggregate" customer demand and purchase renewable energy on behalf of residents and businesses.
The bill was supported by Summit County and Salt Lake City but met with opposition from Rocky Mountain Power. Lawmakers did not advance the measure but agreed to study it during interim.
Utah currently has 21.2 megawatts of installed solar photovoltaic capacity, which includes rooftop solar, off-grid solar and the St. George SunSmart project. A megawatt is generally considered enough to power 1,000 homes.

The problem Big Data vendors have, however, is access to that data in motion at the sensor location. In his session at @ThingsExpo, Scott Allen, CMO of FreeWave, discussed how as IoT is increasingly adopted by industrial markets, there is going to be an increased demand for sensor data from the outermos...

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

In WSJ/NBC/Annenberg Poll, Bad News for Both Parties
The more we see them, the less we like them. Some 130 days away from the 2014 midterm elections, that is the public's verdict on the two parties, according to the new Wall Street Journal/NBC News/Annenberg poll.
Both major parties, the candidates and political action committees have engaged in record spending to persuade the electorate to believe in their party and their candidates. Yet the public has put two thumbs down for both parties–by two to one (33% to 17%) voters say that what they have seen makes them less favorable toward the Republican Party.
The Democratic Party fares no better on this measure, with 32% of Americans saying that what they have seen so far makes them less favorable toward Democrats and only 14% saying what they have seen has made them feel more favorably toward Democrats.

In March, Oculus started taking pre-orders for its new Rift development kit, the DK2. Today, the company announced that the first DK2 units are just about to ship. Here's part of the announcement from the official Oculus Developer Forums:
The first batch of official DK2s have left the manufacturing facility and are making their way to our distribution centers now. We expect to ship roughly 10,000 DK2s from the factory in July, with just over half of the units through distribution centers and on their way to doorsteps before the end of the month. The very first units are expected to reach developers the week of July 14th. Tracking numbers for all DK2s will be generated as soon as the shipment has been processed by a distribution center.
Some folks won't be getting their kits right away. Oculus says it has received more than 45,000 pre-orders in all, and it's "slightly behind in manufacturing." As a result, "some developers with estimated shipping in July may not have their DK2s shipped until August." In any event, Oculus will send out tracking numbers once kits ship out.
The DK2 improves upon the original dev kit in a number of ways. It features low-persistance AMOLED panels with a higher 960x1080 resolution (up from 640x800), not to mention greatly improved tracking and lower latency. The DK2 is based on the Crystal Cove prototype we tried out at CES.
This discussion is now closed.

Region: Southwest
Topic: Trees
Title: Galls on live oak trees in Austin, TX
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:I am a resident of a condominium complex in Austin that has numerous Live Oak trees. Can you explain what the gall type things are hanging from the trees at this time of year and all over the grounds? Are these trees diseased or is this simply a method of the trees spreading its seeds (other than acorns)?
ANSWER:The swellings you see on the live oaks are galls. They can be caused by various insects depositing their eggs in the plant. (They can also be caused by fungi, bacteria, nematodes and mites). The tree reacts by forming tissue around the eggs, and the insect's larvae develop inside the gall and feed on the gall tissue. The commonest cause of galls (the mealy oak gall) in live oaks in cities is a small wasp, Disholcaspis cinerosa. This tiny wasp has a two-stage life cycle and each stage produces a different type of gall. The wasps that emerge early in the spring from large spherical galls found on branches of the live oaks are all asexual females that lay eggs without mating with a male. Their eggs are deposited in leaf buds and their galls develop on the leaves. The adults that emerge from these leaf galls are both males and females. After mating, these females lay the eggs that form the galls that enclose the asexual females.
Some trees seem to be more susceptible than others to infestation. There are trees that seem never to have galls, and the ones that do get galls may have a heavy infestation one year and a light one the next year. Even those that are heavily infested seem to suffer little, if any, harm from the infestation.
You can read a lot more about the mealy oak gall in "The Mealy Oak Gall on Ornamental Live Oak in Texas" and about other gall-makers in "Gall-Making Insects and Mites" from Texas Agricultural Extension Service, Texas A&M University System.

Sound Off
Sound Off: License stickers
On a Kansas vehicle license plate, there is a "year" sticker that usually goes under the "month" sticker in the upper right hand corner to show that taxes have been paid for that year. Is it legal to put the year sticker anywhere on the license plate?
Douglas County Treasurer Paula Gilchrist says the state rules and regulations on license plates are clear and do not leave room for "creative stickering." She notes that K.S.A. 8-134 (e) provides that the Department of Revenue's director of vehicles, "shall designate the location on a number plate where such decal shall be affixed." "For more than a decade, the Director of Motor Vehicles has designated the upper right hand corner of the license plate as location for the decal," Gilchrist said.
If you have a question, call 832-7297 or send email to email@example.com.

Lots of sections of the vehicle code are not regularly enforced. If we have to choose what to enforce, I'd rather they go after moving violations such as failure to signal, crosswalk encroachment, and tailgating, or equipment violations such as bald tires or failed suspension, rather than concentrate on sticker stupidity.

Cops on K10 like to pull people over for having the sticker in the "wrong" place. How do I know? It happened to me.
Also, it's not a ticketable offense (so the officer told me). It was late at night, and as always, they were fishing for DUI's or outstanding warrants.

This year they told us to put a large sticker they gave us over both of the previous stickers. We did that, but it is not large enough to cover them completely. It is about time they issued new plates, with a place for the larger sticker if this is what they are going to. We have had the same plates for a long time.
Curtis Lange 3 years, 1 month ago
Thats why you take the old stickers off...
gsxr600 3 years, 1 month ago
You won't be very hard pressed to see someone rocking a color other than yellow or orange. They're everywhere. Whether or not they have paid their taxes is another question entirely but I would assume people are not that stupid not to put their new stickers on once they've paid annual taxes.
Drivers also get away with not having any working brake lights. Not one, but all three out. If they've gotten away with it that long for all of them to go out, clearly the LPD doesn't have any sort of focus on traffic enforcement.
gccs14r 3 years, 1 month ago
Last year I neglected to put my new sticker on before the first of the next month. I got a ticket for it on the first. I got it dismissed the same day, but still. I'd wanted to clean the plate and remove both old stickers before putting on the new one, but hadn't gotten around to it. Now I have old sticker peeking out from beneath the new one.
juma 3 years, 1 month ago
I am wondering if the new larger sticker that includes the info of year and month was less expensive (less tax money) to print than having two stickers? Seems to me that the one larger sticker was cheaper. If so, then thanks to the Topeka bureaucrats.
SpeedRacer 3 years, 1 month ago
I'm totally confused. I got new stickers today and they look just like last year's (except they are red) . They are square with the year and month. I just put it right over last year's sticker.
Curtis Lange 3 years, 1 month ago
The new stickers started being given out approx last April so there were individuals who just recently got the new stickers for the first time.
budwhysir 3 years, 1 month ago
I am not sure why this would be an effective question other than for those unable to follow directions. If a location is specified, why would one go against this placement?
when a new tag is purchased and paid for, the stickers are put on while at the DMV. So when you renew and get new stickers. I would suggest the old fashion way of cleaning the old sticker to be free of dirt and grime and adhering the new sticker on top.... And yes the stickers are made to be NOT REMOVABLE so don't try to tear old sticker off....
gccs14r 3 years, 1 month ago
If you get a thick enough stack of stickers, they peel right off. It's good to not let them build up more than three deep or so.
