"What is a photographic point? Briefly stated it is an established point, carefully chosen, from which pictures can be taken at intervals to show changes that have occurred during the time lapse between shots."
"These pictures are often of great value in showing the growth of plantations, the establishment of reproduction on old burns, the changing aspects of timber sale areas, the rate of decay of stumps of fallen lumber."
EDITOR's NOTE: Each camera point documents a specific location. Once a point is established a forester maps the longitude and latitude of the point. A post is erected to mark the location of the point and a metal tag is attached to the post with the point's identification number. The map, post, and id tag allow Swan and other forester to return and re-photograph the same location year after year.
"It is a fascinating project, and the finding of spots from which original pictures had been taken (with no thought at the time of a follow up) gave me more thrills than any other branch of forest photography during my years with the service - except possibly the taking of wilderness views. Crusiers in the Lubrect Forest may have noticed in a few places metal posts with bronze caps stamped PP followed by a number. These mark photographic points established years ago as a part of this program."
Wilfred W. White and K.D. Swan on a field trip to the Lick Creek Timber Sale area in April of 1938; photo by J.N. Hessel.
"In 1909 the much-publicized Lick Creek timber sale was in progress on the Bitterroot National Forest. This operation, which was intended as a sort of pilot project for future sales, was in charge of W.W. White, one of the pioneers in the early years of timber management in this region. I suspect that during the progress of this sale he spent most of his waking hours among the trees that he loved; certain it is that he lived in a cabin on the area and became well acquainted with every aspect and feature of the topography in the vicinity. The Big Blackfoot Milling Company, a subsidiary of Anaconda, purchased the timber and did the logging according to Forest Service specifications. For years the sale area was considered a sort of show window of conservation cutting practices and logging methods."
"During November of 1925 White and I took a set of the origianl pictures and went to the area to see if we could locate the points from which they were taken. This quest was extremely fascinating."
"The camera we were using was nearly the same as that was used for the original pictures, and when a spot was once found it was simply a matter to adjust the outfit so that the image on the ground glass would coincide with the print we were holding. It was an exciting game, and we felt it was more fun than work. In a few days we had located all but one of the points – sixteen in all. Later the points were marked by iron posts which were tied in to a Land Office corner by compass and pacing. The traverse was platted on a large scale map for future use. Photographs have been taken at intervals ever since."
"White had a good memory and was able to spot, in a general way, the locations we were after. Peculiar stumps and logs were a great help. Just when we might seem baffled in the search for a particular spot something would show up and give us a key. The clue might be the bark pattern on a ponderosa pine, or perhaps a forked tree."

SPL is a professional-grade digital sound level meter (decibel meter) for your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. It includes all of the modes, filters, and features that you would expect from a professional ANSI or IEC Sound Level Meter. All filters and averaging modes meet or exceed the criteria for ANSI Type 1 standards or better. SPL is created from the same team who brought you the Audio Toolbox and ATB Plus.
Store Results -- Uses the same powerful Save / Recall engine as our premier app, AudioTools. Allows storing GPS and time-stamped results, and exporting them to your computer.
You can also use SPL with our calibrated iPhone measurement mic, iTestMic, or iAudioInterface.
The screen flips if you turn the phone upside down, so that you can point the built-in iPhone mic directly at the sound source.
*** Modes: Slow, Fast, Impulse, Peak, and Leq.
*** Filters: A and C weighting, and 10 octave band filters.
*** Includes a resettable Max field to track the highest reading.
*** Includes a reference field (except in Leq mode) so that you can set a reference level and do seat-to-seat comparisons.
The SPL meter can be fully calibrated. It comes preset with the calibration for a typical iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch. Most iOS devices will be within a few dB of this reading. If you have access, even temporarily, to a calibrated sound level meter, just use the calibration field on the settings scree to match the meter, and you will be accurately calibrated.
Also, see our other professional-grade audio apps: AudioTools, our premier suite of professional-caliber audio and acoustics test apps, Speaker Pop, to test speaker polarity, and RTA, a real-time analyzer for the iPhone.
And, we have released a calibrated, accurate measurement microphone, iTestMic, that allows full professional results.
This will allow measuring a range from approximately 30 dB SPL to 130 dB SPL. Each mic will include a calibration factor that you will enter into the SPL app for calibrated measurements. This mic will also work with Speaker Pop, our speaker polarity tester, FFT, RTA, ETC, and other acoustical measurement apps in our AudioTools app that is available now.
Also, see our iAudioInterface2 system, which supports any pro test and measurement mic.
Now includes an iPhone internal mic compensation filter, to cancel out the low-frequency roll-off present in the iPhone and other iOS devices.
See our other audio apps, including AudioTools.

Engineering Journal Article Downloads → Strengthening of Existing Composite Beams Using LRFD Procedures
Product code: NA
Non Member Price: $10.00
Product Description
Many times, the load carrying capacity of an existing composite steel floor beam needs to be increased beyond its original design capacity due to a change in occupancy use classification or the addition of a localized heavy load. For example, this situation occurs frequently in an office building that was initially designed using a live load of 50 pounds per square foot where a tenant wants to locate a library that requires a live load of 150 pounds per square foot. Or perhaps a tenant would like to place a very heavy object in a certain location that is beyond the capacity of the existing floor framing. One of the many advantages of a steel framed structure is the relative ease and economy of the addition of reinforcing to the existing members to increase their load carrying capacity. There are several techniques available to the designer for adding reinforcement to an existing steel beam. Perhaps the most often used solution is to weld a steel shape to the bottom of the beam. This paper deals with the addition of either a flat steel plate or a WT section to the bottom of the beam to moderately increase its load carrying capacity. For a major increase in capacity, the method described in this paper could easily be extended to other reinforcing shapes. This paper describes a procedure for the rapid direct solution of the required amount of steel reinforcement to be added to a composite beam to resist a given bending moment. The solution is obtained using the design aids provided and brief hand calculations. The procedure is based on Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) Theory and is applicable to composite beams designed by either Allowable Stress Design (ASD) or LRFD and with either solid concrete slabs or slabs on metal deck.

… yes.
it must be cat day… strange brew had a similar gag
Spoiler alert next time chireef – I haven't got there yet :-(
The Dr. is obviously a catalyst.
No – it's his way of telling her he has a bladder infection.
I'm just "cattng" around….get used to it.
We had a dog that was an inside/outside dog. When he was in, he wanted out, when he was out, he wanted in!
Yes. Yes it is.
- Psh… cats don't need to show dominance over their owners like that! They show it every day in their indifference and hatred towards the people that feed and house them! ;-)
- If you don't think your cat thinks they are better than you, you must not have had your cat very long.
Umm… You think that when you yell "You think you're better than me, cat?" and your cat walks away makes you the winner of the argument.
My dog figured out that if she scratched at the door, I'd get up to let her out. Well, actually she just figured out the I'd get up part, she didn't make the connection to the whole action. So now she scratches at the door and then we play the "What do you want?" game.

Ferry to Pea Patch Island
The State of Delaware acquired the fort in 1947 and opened Fort Delaware State Park. Access to the island is by ferry only, leaving from Delaware City in Delaware or Fort Mott in New Jersey. The only fee to visit this historic park is the cost of the ferry ride ($11 adults, $6 children). The ferry landing on the Delaware City side sits by the Eastern Lock of the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal, at the end of Battery Park. The ticket booth has a civil war gift shop and information about the island and it's history. There are no vehicles on the island, expect for the tram that takes visitors from the dock to the fort.
Ferries from Delaware City begin at 10 am and the last ferry to the island is at 4 pm, leaving every 1/2 hour (except 10:30 am). The last ferry from Pea Patch Island back to Delaware City leaves at 5:30 pm. See the attched link for ferry schedule...and enjoy!

A new method for encoding high-efficiency radially symmetric computer-generated holograms is formulated. An iterative approach is used to determine fringe widths and phase values for phase-only holographic optical elements. Computer-simulation results indicate that this approach can be used to increase the efficiency of low-f-number elements significantly. The experimental results for an f/1 element with a diffraction efficiency of 90% are presented.

We're leaning as far forward as physically possible, wishing we hadn't indulged in that extra Fat Rascal at Betty's or the additional five small plates at Skosh the day before, and patting the dashboard of my tiny blue car in encouragement as we crawl up the steep road at Sutton Bank in the North Yorkshire Moors…
Seafood certainly comes to mind when planning a trip to Sweden, and Gothenburg has plenty of it. We snack on fried herring from a food truck, brown paper bags of prawns from Feskekorka fish market and platters at the market's iconic Restaurant Gabriel.

I sit extremely close to the ground at a long table that dominates an alleyway in Hoi An, Vietnam.

As our bus leaves Saigon, the honking, bustling, moped-dodging city life makes way for Vietnam's quintessential countryside scattered with bobbing straw hats that shelter rice paddy field workers.

Berlin is the creative capital of Germany, and twenty-and-thirty–somethings are flocking on mass to the city's trendy brunch spots, Aussie-inspired coffee shops and Asian fusion restaurants.

The beauty of staying in an air bnb is we get to kid ourselves (just for a short while) that we're cool enough to live in a flawlessly decked out apartment in Vestebro.

The streets of Copenhagen ooze Scandi-cool – tall, beautiful twentysomethings glide past on sleek bicycles, minimalist copper pieces tempt you in to interior design shops, and old scarf-clad folk walk equally chic pooches. We are here to soak up as much of the Danish lifestyle as possible, with a particular focus on the food.
A morning mooching around the streets of Vesterbro is time well spent. We wander up to Ipsen & Co and wait outside under cosy blankets next to dashing Danish boys while peering in through the huge window to eye up the best spot in the house. We eventually snuggle in to a desirable corner spot and order freshly delivered coffee Continue reading "The best places to eat and drink in Copenhagen: Day One"

So you just started charting right? Maybe this 9 day LP was a fluke? I would just keep charting, and if you want to do the B6 you could, but just see what happens. If you're really not TTC for a few more months, just see what the next month brings. If the next month is a short LP again, you could try some other herbs as well.
Right now I am taking red clover, drinking red raspberry leaf tea, chaste tree (vitex), evening primrose oil, folic acid, and nettles. You could try one or two of those if you thought it might help?
Good luck!!!!!!
Hey you! Did you say you were taking B6? That has definitely been shown to work, but I think it sometimes takes a few months. I have not heard good things about the natural progesterone supplementation (the cream you can get from Whole Foods or whatever)...apparently it really doesn't get absorbed to any appreciable extent.
Also, is there any possibility you ovulated on day 21 and had a fallback rise? I don't know, I think I would chart one more month and see what your cycle does. It may still be messed up because of the M/C. If you have another short LP, it can't hurt to bring it to your doc and see what s/he is willing to do.
Are you breastfeeding? With me, I had really short LPs like I want to say 7-8 days usually, and I took b6 (in a b-complex...like 75 mg/day), vitex, rasberry leaf tea, and vitamin c and got pregnant pretty easily. they all take time to work, so I'd start on them right away. good luck!
Yes, I am still nursing my nearly 3 year old. She nurses morning, bedtime, and maybe one other time per day.

Blackrock files 13G
They now own 73,983,388 shares (5%) of BSX. To the best of my knowledge they had owned only 16mil shares prior to this filing.
Insiders buying, Blackrock buying, BSX is buying thru their share repurchase plan.
You should be careful calling people out. This imbecile might be 6'6" and be an areana fighter. I have found that these types of morons eventually stink up themselves so badly that sooner or later they disappear. Patience - and we will see this little scumbag disappear.
I would be afraid to meet you in person, as I am sure I would be puking the rest of the day.
You see, I have a problem with LIARS!
It matters not whether they are long or short (or ugly) I just don't like LIARS, GET IT?
From what richey says, you are a female, or perhaps some sort of transgender mutant.
But you three have been caught lying, although, for some stupid reason, you can justify it because you are long.
Well, its still LYING, PUMPING, DISINGENUOUS, AND IT SHOULD BE BANNED FROM ALL BOARDS!
"I'm surprised you have held on to this handle for 3 months now. That has to be some kind of record for you."
If it weren't for some transgender mutant crybaby, I would have kept my first one, but I can roll with the punches. YOU are the one with troubles.
"Gee you want to add BSXisgood to the list? Imagine that someone who is positive on the stock. Strange coincidence Very strange coincidence"
It would be a 'strange coincidence' only to complete idiot.
If you were able to read like a normal person, you would have realized that the list was for LIARS on THIS BOARD!!!!
NOTHING to do with long or short.
Are you able to understand that, or do I need to draw pictures?
You must come from the same place as richey, cause you both share some of the same afflictions.
Like understanding the English language.
BSX Pro blows declines
Listen up
Any day you want to meet face to face, so you can repeat all these statements to my face, I am game. But I am sure you'll just continue to hide behind your computer screen.
You're a cyber bully. (or you can try to be a bully to my face.)
I'm surprised you have held on to this handle for 3 months now. That has to be some kind of record for you.
Gee you want to add BSXisgood to the list? Imagine that someone who is positive on the stock. Strange coincidence Very strange coincidence Rickey is positive on the stock, I'm positive on the stock, and BSXisgood is postive on the stock. WOW Nobody can see through that!!!!
Grow - up
I think you might be right!
As far as the sister-wife thing, I'm starting to think it may be mama.
They both PUMP like there's no tomorrow, bending the truth (I'm being kind here) notta problem.
And they NEVER see their partners 'mistakes' (Pump Jobs and funky story's with NO truth in them)!!
Oh well, as biased as they are, they're bound to be 'right' one of these times!!!!
Though I wouldn't hold my breath...
Give Richtard a break, I'm sure his Mississippi sister-wife keeps asking him for more "Hee Haw" DVDs and more chitlins to snack on, he needs to pump his stocks so he can afford to buy his sister-wife the things she keeps asking him for!
I'm not a basher, I simply point out when people are lying or pumping.
You in particular, have been outed for EXTREME pumping, and you've been caught lying, as well.
I'd also like to point out what a simpleton you are.
You call me a 'name' in the same sentence that you bash me for 'calling people names'.
I forget who mentioned it, but I think they were right when they noticed how poorly you were educated.
A brain is a terrible thing to waste...
You are a liar, BlackRock actually cut more than 4.5 million shares from BSX:
Thanks for looking out for these liars!
You are spot on....Blackrock is looking for appreciation. They wouldn't have bought unless they say the value. They will make things happen, and the more shares they own, the more pull they will have. Strong buy

Behind the Notes: Sean Manaea
By Mike Selleck
In today's behind the notes, we take a look at an item on Sean Manaea, who is scheduled to make his Major League debut with a start against the Houston Astros today, April 28.
FOR STARTERS: Was selected from Triple-A Nashville today and will be making his Major League debut after just 42 minor league appearances, all starts, in three professional seasons…will become the 45th pitcher in Oakland history to start in his ML debut, the first since Dan Straily on Aug. 3, 2012 against Toronto…the last to win was Bobby Cramer on September 13, 2010 at Kansas City…the last complete game was by Mike Morgan June 11, 1978 against Baltimore and the only shutout is by Mike Norris April 10, 1975 against Chicago…the previous 44 have combined for a 13-14 record and a 3.67 ERA.
"For starters" is sometimes a lead note on the starting pitcher page of the daily game notes. Typical info might include the number of starts for the pitcher this year or in his career, current trends or any other lead note type items. In the case of a pitcher like Manaea making his debut, we do something like the above. Below is why and how we came up with that note.
Was selected from Triple-A Nashville today and will be making his Major League debut after just 42 minor league appearances, all starts, in three professional seasons
Anytime a pitcher gets called up, we include transaction information. After a few starts, it might say "Was selected from Triple-A Nashville April 29 and is scheduled to make his third start of the season and his career". In Manaea's case, we indicate he is making his debut, and we typically follow that kind of note with minor league career numbers. In this case we highlighted just his appearances, which were all starts, in his brief career. More detailed information appears in a different note on his page (spoiler alert: He's 16-9 with a 2.82 ERA and 257 strikeouts in 214.0 innings).
…will become the 45th pitcher in Oakland history to start in his ML debut, the first since Dan Straily on Aug. 3, 2012 against Toronto
Many years ago, we created a chart that includes pitchers who made their Major League debut in a starting assignment for the Oakland A's. Exactly when that began, we're unsure. It might have started with Todd Van Poppel in 1991, but it was no later than Tim Hudson in 1999.
Either way, there was no baseball-reference at the time (or at least no play index), so we did it the way it was done back then. We had to walk uphill, in the snow, both ways, to the library. Well, not quite. But it did involve going through every year of stats, looking at who made starts for the A's and determining if that was their debut season. If it was, we went to the day-by-days. Back then, teams kept day-by-day logs of all their players on paper. If a player changed teams, the teams would fax (or send via telecopier) the day-by-days of that player to the new club. Faxes and writing on paper…isn't ancient history fun! With the day-by-days we could see the exact date that pitcher made their debut and if it was a starting assignment. Since we didn't have any records from the A's days in Kansas City and Philadelphia, we did limit this chart to Oakland, so we only had to go back to 1968.
After hours of research spread out over several days, we came up with the list that allows us to say that Sean Manaea is the 45th pitcher in Oakland history to start in his Major League debut. Of course now we can just use the baseball-reference play index and get the answer in around five seconds. You can see the list here.
…the last to win was Bobby Cramer on September 13, 2010 at Kansas City…the last complete game was by Mike Morgan June 11, 1978 against Baltimore and the only shutout is by Mike Norris April 10, 1975 against Chicago
We'll add a couple of other interesting notes, such as the last to win as a starter in his debut, the last to toss a complete game and the only one with a shutout. Long time A's fans might remember Morgan's start, since he was only 18 years old at the time. It's all in the chart, but sometimes we'll put out some information to highlight it.
…the previous 44 have combined for a 13-14 record and a 3.67 ERA.
Finishing off the note is just a combined total of the previous 44 pitchers, giving you an idea of what happens historically in this situation.
You can find Manaea's page and the A's game notes anytime on our web site. The notes can be accessed via this link. In this case, you can find Manaea on page 2 of the April 29 notes. If it's not there yet, it will be before he makes his start.

A's in the Community
The A's continually strive to be a leader in our local community. Last week's homestand included a number of events and activities that brought A's players, partners, employees, and fans together to make a difference in the communities we live and serve.
Volunteers built playhouses for Habitat for Humanity
A's employees, season ticket holders, volunteers from PG&E, and students representing Home Run Heroes, a branch of the One Desk Foundation, built and painted four playhouses on Tuesday, April 12 to benefit a Habitat for Humanity housing development in Martinez, Calif. Chris Bassitt and Liam Hendriks made an appearance at the build to thank volunteers. This community event is part of the A's Community Fund's "#A It Forward" program, presented by PG&E, which creates unique ballpark experiences for nonprofit organizations.
"Habitat for Humanity is thrilled to continue our partnership with the Oakland A's with this exciting playhouse build," said Janice Jensen, President & CEO of Habitat for Humanity East Bay/Silicon Valley. "We value the A's support of Habitat's mission to build to more affordable homeownership in Oakland and across the East Bay."
Players' Partners collect food and donations on Food Bank Wednesday
On Wednesday, April 13, A's players' partners, wives, and girlfriends collected food and monetary donations to benefit the Alameda County Food Bank. With every five cans donated or $5 contribution, fans received a buy one get one free ticket voucher for a future game. Food Bank Wednesdays are hosted throughout the season.
Vogt hosts students for a day at the Oakland Zoo
Stephen Vogt, Liam Hendriks, Rich Hill, and Billy Butler hosted students from the School of Imagination on Thursday, April 14 at the Oakland Zoo. The visit included a special zoo tour, educational activities, and lunch. The School of Imagination, located in Dublin, Calif., provides support and services to more than 300 children, many with special needs and disabilities such as autism.

Planting the Seed
While A's players get their winter R&R, the Arizona grounds crew is hard at work prepping for Spring Training
By Chris Gabel
As A's fans back home in the Bay Area endured a freezing and wet December, and others across the country hunkered down through winter snowstorms, Chad Huss stood under a warm midday Arizona sun and lamented the unseasonable cold.
It was in the low 60s.
After all, Huss, the head groundskeeper at the Oakland A's Spring Training and year-round Minor League headquarters, Hohokam Stadium and the Lew Wolff Training Complex in Mesa, had the seedlings to consider.
While December typically means holiday breaks from work or school, for Huss, it signifies the most critical stretch of the year. His team had recently seeded eight diamonds at the complex. So that cold front—and another that threatened to blow in just before Christmas—presented a problem.
"Near-freezing temperatures may not seem like much," Huss explains, "but a new seedling doesn't have the strength to fight."
With players reporting to Arizona earlier and earlier each year, Huss and his team cannot afford the slightest setback. Contrary to its label, Major League Baseball's offseason is actually the busiest time of the year for the Arizona-based grounds crew.
From October through January, the eight-man team rebuilds pitching mounds, repairs fences and backstops, reseeds the infield and outfield turf, and readies the fields for the players and fans who come out each March and make Spring Training look so inviting.
"There really is no offseason," says Joe Pun, the team's Arizona sales and operations manager. "In reality, it's a yearlong activity."
Even after the Major League team breaks camp at the end of March and heads back to Oakland to start the regular season, the Arizona operation remains alive.
Extended Spring Training for players who were not assigned to a Minor League affiliate starts immediately and rolls into the summer Arizona League for rookies. Meanwhile, injured players from all levels of the organization rehab at the facility throughout the summer—and into the fall and winter.
Instructional workouts for younger players start in early fall, before activity at the complex finally hits a lull in late October. Then it's back to square one.
"Most of what we do during Spring Training and the summer is maintenance," Huss explains. "But once fall comes around, that's when we go to work on the fields and get them ready for Spring Training, and do it all over again."
After Spring Training, the stadium hosts several non-A's-related events: high school games and graduation ceremonies, and in October, a big senior men's baseball tournament that attracts teams from across the country and Canada.
This year, Huss's staff couldn't reseed the fields until after that tournament, meaning a later-than-ideal start to the process. Thus the consternation with the unseasonably cold temperatures in the "Valley of the Sun."
"We do a lot of looking ahead at the weather—temperature highs and lows," Huss says. "It's supposed to warm up here soon, and then the grass should take off."
As the perennial rye grass establishes itself, Huss's team begins rebuilding each pitching mound at both Hohokam Stadium and the Lew Wolff Training Complex. Between the game mounds and those in the bullpens, the crew rebuilds 27 mounds each winter. Each practice station, consisting of eight mounds, takes three weeks to rebuild. Then assistant groundskeeper Zach Ricketts and his crew move on to the next set.
The goal is simple: "We want to have the bullpen mounds exactly the same as the game mounds," Huss says. "I don't want a pitcher to get out there and feel a difference from one mound to the next."
Players' feedback plays a big role in the fields' upkeep. Huss points to former A's infielders Eric Chavez and Mark Ellis as players who offered consistent and helpful critiques, both positive and negative. Third base coach Ron Washington, who works with the team's infielders every day, also chimes in. By early January, some 30 or 40 players from throughout the organization begin showing up at the facility to work out in advance of Spring Training. As they trickle in, Huss's team opens more fields, bullpen mounds and hitting cages.
Players usually start their training in the indoor batting cages, getting their timing down against pitching machines. But it's not long until they want to hit on the field. Then comes the official reporting date in February for pitchers and catchers, then position players, and by the first week of March, the Cactus League's season is in full swing.
Although as Huss stands under the December sky, the report date is still a couple of months away. For now, anyway, the facility is mostly quiet.
"It can get nice in the offseason," Huss says. "But we're preparing. We know the storm is coming."

Behind the Notes
By Mike Selleck
Behind the Notes will be a regular feature of Clubhouse Confidential where we take a look at an A's note and explain how we came up with it.
Our first example is this note for Opening Day:
FOR OPENERS: The A's snapped their Major League record 10-game Opening Day losing streak with an 8-0 win over Texas last year on April 6…have not won back-to-back openers since 2002-04 when they won three straight…are now 5-17 on Opening Day dating back to 1994…will open in Oakland for the fourth consecutive season and will be the home team for the seventh straight year (2012 in Tokyo)…this is the third time in Oakland history the A's have faced the White Sox on Opening Day…it is the first time since 1975 when the A's won 3-2 in Oakland…also squared off in 1969, a 5-2 A's win in Oakland…prior to moving to Oakland, the A's and White Sox met once on Opening Day, a 10-9 White Sox win over the Kansas City A's in Chicago in 1960…since moving to Oakland in 1968, the A's are 21-27 on Opening Day, including 17-13 in Oakland, 4-11 on the road, 0-2 in Tokyo and 0-1 in Las Vegas…all-time, the Athletics are 53-62 in openers.
This note is a regular part of the A's Game Notes on Opening Day from year-to-year. It breaks down into three sections: current Opening Day trends, trends against this years opponent and historical A's trends.
Current Opening Day trends
The A's snapped their Major League record 10-game Opening Day losing streak with an 8-0 win over Texas last year on April 6
While most of the A's notes will involve some on-line research, this first line was done the old fashioned way. We opened a book. The Elias Sports Bureau publishes a baseball record book and one of the listings is for Most Consecutive Opening Day Losses. The A's broke the previous record of nine in 2014, and Sonny Gray made sure it didn't go beyond 10 last year.
…have not won back-to-back openers since 2002-04 when they won three straight
In some cases, we try to anticipate a question that might arise from the media and include it in the notes. Should the A's win the opener again in 2016 after losing 10 straight from 2005-14, we figure the question, "When was the last time the A's won back-to-back openers?", might follow. The Oakland A's Media Guide has a list of the A's results in season openers since the club moved to Oakland in 1968 and a quick look at that list gave us the answer.
…are now 5-17 on Opening Day dating back to 1994
While looking for the last time the A's won back-to-back openers, we noticed more losses following a six-game winning streak from 1988-93, so we extend the note a little farther back.
…will open in Oakland for the fourth consecutive season and will be the home team for the seventh straight year (2012 in Tokyo)
If it seems to you like the A's always begin the season at home, you're right. The A's will be the home team on Opening Day for the seventh consecutive season in 2016, but one of those games was in Tokyo so we added the clarification. In this case, being the home team and opening in Oakland are two different things.
Trends against this years opponent
…this is the third time in Oakland history the A's have faced the White Sox on Opening Day…it is the first time since 1975 when the A's won 3-2 in Oakland…also squared off in 1969, a 5-2 A's win in Oakland
The second part of the For Openers note takes a look at the A's Opening Day opponent. The source is once again the media guide. In most cases, we would list the A's record against that opponent, the result the last time the two clubs met and any significant streaks. With only two meetings against the White Sox, and none since 1975, we'll list both results.
…prior to moving to Oakland, the A's and White Sox met once on Opening Day, a 10-9 White Sox win over the Kansas City A's in Chicago in 1960
Since the White Sox and A's are two of the original eight American League franchises, we also take a look to see how many times the two clubs squared off while the A's were in Philadelphia and Kansas City. To find that data, we have a spreadsheet with game logs for all A's games since the franchise was born in 1901. That data is courtesy of the good folks at Retrosheet, whose stated goal is computerizing play-by-play accounts of as many pre-1984 major league games as possible. Filtering for the first game of the season and the White Sox as the opponent reveals just one other meeting in 1960.
Sometimes while researching a note, you learn a few things about baseball history. At first it seemed odd that the A's and White Sox have been playing for 115 years but have only met three times previously on Opening Day. A further look at the data reveals the Philadelphia A's faced only Boston, Washington, New York and the 1902 Baltimore club — teams close by geographically. By 1955, when the A's moved to Kansas City, opponents were a little more varied, but Detroit and Cleveland were the most common opponents and although Chicago and Kansas City share a time zone, the two clubs met just once to start the season.
Historical A's trends
…since moving to Oakland in 1968, the A's are 21-27 on Opening Day, including 17-13 in Oakland, 4-11 on the road, 0-2 in Tokyo and 0-1 in Las Vegas…all-time, the Athletics are 53-62 in openers.
To finish off the note, we list the A's all-time marks on Opening Day. Since we repeat this note every year, it's just a matter of updating the records from the previous year. But the Oakland part originally came from the media guide and the last line takes advantage of our internal spreadsheet.
That's it for openers. Look for more Behind the Notes when the season begins.

In 2010, the Cincinnati Reds had one of the best offenses in all of baseball. The team ranked atop the National League in runs scored, batting average, hits, total bases, home runs and slugging percentage, and even managed a second-place finish in on-base percentage.
This year, the Reds feature a lineup that is significantly different from the 2010 version and includes just three players—Joey Votto, Brandon Phillips and Jay Bruce—who were members of the 2010 team.
With a lot of turnover, the opportunity presents itself to compare the two offenses and see how this year's club stacks up to the 2010 iteration, which happened to feature one of the better offenses in team history. So, that's what we'll do here.
We kick things off with one of the more volatile positions in the Reds lineup over the past few seasons, catcher.

Hackers conference shown how to bypass Active Directory controls

Experts from the CIA and FBI rubbed shoulders with hardcore computer hackers at the conference. Once the sole preserve of hackers, Defcon has now become a recognised fixture in the IT industry's calendar.
One presentation showed delegates how hackers can bypass the controls restricting user access in the Windows Active Directory due to poor configuration of the software.
Phil Cracknell, security consultant at NetSecurity, said this kind of threat has been largely overlooked by companies, partly because computer viruses and worms are more visible and easier to detect.
Users expect there to be greater security in a Windows Active Directory environment as it allows administrators to overlay network-based group policies onto the security permissions of users' PCs, said Cracknell.
But Cracknell said he had come across set-ups where desktop security had been weakened because of badly implemented Active Directory environments.
He said he had seen examples of organisations using Active Directory where a reboot and removal of the network cable left a PC operating with just the desktop security policies. Restrictions on user access that were written into Active Directory no longer applied, said Cracknell.
"Plug in the cable and you effectively have a rogue PC on a corporate network," he said.
Stuart Okin, chief security officer at Microsoft, said, "Users cannot rely on security policies alone. There needs to be [system] lockdown, end-user education and constant review."
In a warning to banks and companies that do business over the internet, security analyst Robert Imhoff-Dousharm demonstrated credit card hacking. Delegates were given laptops and shown how a hacker could tap into a private network and download credit card details, which could then be decrypted.
Richard Brain, technical director at security consultancy Procheckup, said hacking credit cards details was relatively straightforward.
"Certain payment systems use particular ports. You can scan this port, capture all packets and grab credit card details," he said.
Credit card data is secured, but only by 56-bit encryption, which Brain said could be broken relatively easily to reveal the credit card number, expiry date and the cardholder's name. Secure banking transactions are usually protected by 128-bit or 256-bit encryption.
Another presentation explained how law enforcement agencies were using facilities on Microsoft's development tools to track down hackers.
Businesses have long made use of the ability of Microsoft software to track changes made to documents, but Microsoft's development tools can also track the author and computer used to create the program.
"If you use a Microsoft tool to create a [security exploit], the FBI can find out who you are," said Brain. This happens because most users generally type in the correct information when registering new software.

IOWA CITY– By a 4-1 vote, the Johnson County Board of Supervisors approved the third and final reading of a controversial rezoning request on Thursday, March 28. The vote cleared the way for 90.89 acres of agricultural land owned by Sharon Dooley at 2915 Newport Road to be rezoned to the county's new RC, or Residential Cluster, designation. The move allows Iowa City realtor Bill Young to move forward with plans for a 70-unit housing development.
TIFFIN– Tiffin City Council member Mike Ryan has not changed his mind about the city's investment policy.
He failed to change others' minds last week as well.
Ryan asked for the city's investment policy to be placed back on the council's March 27 agenda because, he said, "I didn't agree with the decision, I'm going to bring it up every council meeting until the sun doesn't shine … I may never get my way, but as a council member, I can put it on the agenda every time and the pubic is going to hear about it."
NORTH LIBERTY– About 75 North Liberty residents came out Wednesday night to learn more about what's in store for the city's streets and parks.
City officials held an open house last Wednesday, March 27, to allow the public to view plans for future road projects and two city parks.
"The purpose of the meeting was to get the public familiar with our upcoming projects," said North Liberty Mayor Tom Salm. "Jones Boulevard, Highway 965 and west side park improvements."
Payton Haas and her friends won big at the live goldfish game, part of the 18th annual Solon Dollars for Scholars "Bringin' in the Green" carnival held March 4 at Lakeview Elementary. The event is a fundraiser for the local organization that gives college scholarships to every Solon graduating senior who applies. See more photos in next week's edition. (photo by Lori Lindner)
SOLON– Organizers for the Solon Survivor Extreme 5K were walking the planned race route looking for a safe place to cross Mehaffey Bridge Road when they all saw the culvert.
"A couple of us went through it and we knew immediately that this was going to be an extreme race," said Brian Bock.
Bock was also one of the 90 participants in the off-road 5K held Saturday, March 9, as a fundraiser for the Solon Sluggers 12U baseball team and the University of Iowa Children's Hospital. He finished fourth in just under 30 minutes.
SWISHER– In an era of tense controversy over the use and possession of firearms, one group in this northwest Johnson County town is learning to respect guns, rather than fear them.
And they're learning life lessons while learning to shoot.
For two years, the American Legion Post 671 in Swisher has sponsored a Junior Shooting Sports Program, one of the legion's many family and youth programs. Participants from ages 12 to 18 use an air-powered rifle shooting a .177 caliber pellet as they learn gun safety and marksmanship.

See next week's edition for more photos and results. (photo by Doug Lindner)
AMANA– Every spring, school districts across Iowa draw up a budget for the next school year and certify it. It's the art of speculation coupled with the science of fiscal reality.
NORTH LIBERTY– In December, the City of North Liberty named police lieutenant Diane Venenga as its 2012 employee of the year. Venenga was cited as, "a solid role model for every officer," in the city's press release. Mayor Tom Salm and city administrator Ryan Heiar made the selection, which was open to all city employees.
Since then, Lt. Venenga has been named interim police chief in the wake of chief Jim Warkentin's resignation earlier this year.

SOLON– Don Ellis loves sports. He loves Solon. He especially loves Solon Spartans sports. For 20 years, he's been the guy sitting next to the official scorekeeper and the scoreboard operator with a microphone in his hand doing the announcing at Solon High School sporting events.
