1:160 scale General Electric E33 - Conrail livery 4608
The E33 was built by General Electric in 1955 for the Virginian Railway, where they were known as the EL-C. Following the Virginian's merger with the Norfolk and Western Railway in 1959, electrification was abandoned. The locomotives were sold to the New Haven Railroad, where they worked through successive Penn Central and Conrail ownership until scrapped in 1981.
Throughout their lives several modifications were made to the locomotives. This model is correct for loco 4608 in Conrail livery.
Assembly Instructions
Exploded View - front and left
Exploded View - rear and right
Sprue for separate parts
Included in the model are the main body and a sprue with all the handrails and other parts which need to be added separately, as illustrated in the diagrams above.
The model is designed to fit over an Atlas Alco C628 chassis. Some metal will need to be removed from the chassis block for it to sit inside the body, and a small amount of plastic needs to be trimmed from the outer corners of the truck frames to allow them to rotate freely.
The part-relief underframe equipment detail should be attached to the side of the chassis block.
I recommend using acrylic paints for this model as they work well on the Frosted Ultra Detail plastic. Enamel paints have been reported to take an excessive amount of time to dry on Frosted Ultra Detail so should not be used.
Suitable transfers are available from Microscale Industries for the Conrail logos and numbers (product code 60-157).

An opening jump on Wall Street has breathed a little life into the London market.
With no news yet on the $700bn (£380bn) bank bail-out, US investors are nonetheless betting that the plan will receive the necessary approval from Congress. So the Dow Jones Industrial Average is up more than 130 points, which has helped lift the previously moribund FTSE 100 by 39.7 points to 5135.3.
Where we go from here if the plan is agreed is another matter, but it is probably a better place than if it collapses.
Insurers - now a protected species of course, at least from-short sellers - are leading the way in the UK, with RSA Insurance up 12% to 160.7p. RSA has also been lifted by continuing bid talk, although the middle of a credit crunch may not be the best time to buy a near-£5bn insurance company.
Missing out on the fun is confectionery group Cadbury, down 4.5p to 596.5p after Citigroup moved its recommendation from hold to sell and cut its price target from 670p to 570p.
The bank believes Cadbury faces a major increase in input costs in 2009, particularly given a 45% rise in cocoa prices so far this year.
Nor does it feel a bid from the likes of Kraft is imminent. Such a deal would make sense, said Citi, but Kraft already has high borrowings, it has domestic issues such as losses in market share to deal with, and the current financial and economy uncertainty is not a good background for a bid.
Citi analyst Jeff Stent said: "We believe that investors should not be willing to pay a premium for the possibility of Cadbury falling prey to a bid."

Dear friends,
Two of the most powerful light workers I have known over the years have been Whitley and Anne Strieber, known for their contact with extra-terrestrial beings. They have a great web site, Unknown Country--Dreamland, which I visit almost every day. The Striebers over the years have been guests, Coast to Coast AM, hosted originally by Art Bell, now by George Noory.
Some years ago, Anne, nearly died from a cerebral hemorrhage. She had a near-death experience from that episode, but survived and recovered fully.
Now some weeks ago, she has been diagnosed by a serious, aggressive brain cancer. Please keep both Anne and Whitley in your prayers.
For more information, see: Whitley's Living with the Big C, and Anne's Dad's Coming (Hopefully Not Soon).
Thank you,

DIY Miley Cyrus Cosmo Dress/Top
Written by Elessa, Posted in Beauty, How To & DIY
Post your recreation and use #DIYpb so I can see it on instagram 😀
- Crystals or Rhinestones
- E6000 Glue since it is washable
- Toothpicks and Tweezers
- Paperplates and paper towels
- Shirt of your choice
- Sort out all of your crystals
- Put a piece of cardboard or paper plate on the shoulder portion of your shirt
- Place a few on the sleeve of your shirt to get an idea of how you want itTwo Techniques to gluing
1) Place glue directly on shirt
Paint Glue on shirt
- Squirt glue onto the paper plate and using a toothpick spread the glue on the shirt. Work in small sections.
- Press the stones firmly onto the shirt
- Occasionally lift your shirt to make sure it is not glued to the cardboard
- Use your toothpick to move the stones around to the desired position.
- Make sure you spread the glue evenly so the entire stone is glued down
- Another technique is to apply glue the shirt directly. I prefer this method because it is faster.
- Here is a tip: every so often use rubbing alcohol on the nozzle to remove dried up glue
- Repeat these steps on the other shoulder
- Now move the shirt a bit and glue stones to the shoulder cap area
- Lift the glued areas off the cardboard to ensure that nothing is glued together.
- Let this dry over night.1) Try Your shirt on
2) Make note where you want the front stones
Place magazine or cardboard between the front and back of the top
- Lay out your favorite large stones on the front of the shirt
- Apply glue directly onto the stones and place on to the front of your shirt
- Continue to fill in the gaps with smaller stones
- Roll a paper towel and tuck into both sleeves
Glue down some stones onto the sleeves. Get creative and have fun.
- Add some accent sparkles
- Repeat this on the other side
- Peel everything away from the cardboard and paper towels. Or peel to reveal a new sheet from the magazine.
- Allow to dry for at least 24 hours. Try it on and make any add-ons if needed.

Releasing any title, especially a brand new IP, during the latter part of the year is a difficult task for any developer, especially when it's surrounded on all sides by well established brands that regular consumers just have to have. However, Bohemia and Spiders have decided to wade straight into the fray with Of Orcs And Men, a new IP which many of us at StickTwiddlers have been getting rather excited about. After all, who doesn't like a good, blood thirsty Orcish adventure! We were all hoping that they could pull it off, and deliver us an enthralling and engaging RPG adventure game with a difference. But, have they?
You play the role of Akail of the Bloodjaw tribe, a particularly savage and brutal Orc – even by their own standards – who is sent on a secret mission to assassinate the human Emperor before he can forge an alliance between the Humans, the Dwarves and the Elves which will turn the tide of the war against the Orcs and lead to their extinction. So, a pretty important task then it would seem. You are soon introduced to your guide and other playable character, a Goblin called Styx, and from there it's a good solid adventure with a few twists and turns along the way to keep you interested.
The narrative does have a few issues though, mainly with the dialogue and voice acting, which had me struggling to get fully engrossed in the story. Rather than the typical rough and broken English that you would typically expect from a greenskin, we instead get what can be only described as outtakes from The Sopranos. The voice of Styx is absolutely superb but neither of the characters can seem to finish a cutscene without dropping at least three F-bombs. I imagine that the developers were attempting to put a bit of a human edge onto the titular race, but for me it sounds rather forced and out of place.
Graphically, the team at Cyanide and Spiders have done a really nice job. The textures look great, character models are bulky and fleshed out and most of the environments are engaging. If I had any complaints about the environments however, it would be the fact that there is little to no engagement with them and that every map feels very linear and controlled. Don't expect to be running around smashing up the scenery here. Very un-orc like if you ask me!
Core gameplay is solid enough and in most cases, you will find yourself traveling from point A to point B, tackling patrolling guards and marauding feral goblins along the way through a variety of different locations. You are able to switch between Akail and Styx as you see fit, with Styx's strength focused in stealth abilities and Akail suited to a brutal, tank-style combat.
Patrols always outnumber your duo, so being able to switch to Styx and take a few guards out without them noticing is a godsend. And trust me, they never notice. At one point I had a patrol physically stepping over dead bodies without even so much as a twitch on their faces. When you do get into combat, however, is when one of the major issues raises it's head. The combat mechanics.
Following suit from Cyanides previous Game of Thrones title, combat has you slowing down time, selecting up to four various skills and attacks and assigning them to your respective opponents. You then watch them play out before rinsing and repeating. While it might sound like a tactical powerhouse of a game, instead what we get is a mish-mash of different styles and a systems which forces you to essentially pause and restart the game. This makes the gameplay very jarring and feeling completely out of place in what I feel should be a straightforward combat system with the ability to assign abilities as you progress. It's definitely one of the most disappointing aspects of the title.
Abilities, such as stunning blows and causing aggro, can be levelled up as you progress over three separate skill trees that encompass an aggressive, defensive and special stance. You can switch between these three stances in combat and for Arkail, staying in the defensive is a definite must if you want to give him half a chance of staying alive. You can also compliment your characters with gear that can also be upgraded to boost their stats and unique properties.
Replayabilty may also be a bit of an issue here. Aside from some dialogue choices that you are given, which can sometimes open up new side missions, there is not really a reason to revisit the game after you have finished. The inclusions of a multiplayer mode would have worked wonders in this regard, and seeing as the game is essentially based around a co-op mechanism and promoting the "odd couple" style, it seems, frankly, insane that two player co-op was not included here.
Overall, Of Orcs And Men is a solid, enjoyable game and for a new IP that attempts to do something a bit different, it works reasonably well. However, the combat system sucks a lot of the fun and immersion out of the game and coupled with the lack of a co-oeprative multiplayer mode (something that this title literally screams out for) means that Of Orcs And Men never feels like it's living up it expectations.
Whilst the dialogue can be a bit strained, there's a solid narrative here and despite issues with combat, you will find yourself fairly quickly engrossed and wanting to play more to see how the story plays out. With the inclusion of multiplayer and a simpler combat system that will appeal more to the gaming masses, I really hope that we see a sequel to what is the foundation of a great new IP.
Overall: 3/5
+ Solid textures and models. Environments are gorgeous to look at. Orcs are HUGE!
– Little to no interaction with environment.
+ Good RPG feel. Skills are nicely handled. Dynamic difference between Akail and Styx is interesting.
– Combat system seems out of place. Desperate need for co-operative multiplayer.
+ Music score is fantastic.
– Dialogue seems forced at time.
Of Orcs And Men is out now for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

To address the trauma caused by ongoing violence, International Medical Corps has expanded our mental health and psychosocial support services for conflict-affected Syrians in Damascus, as well as for Syrian refugees residing in Jordan and Lebanon.
Under a regional Middle East initiative to support Iraqi refugees, International Medical Corps trained a group of 24 primary care physicians in both theoretical and clinical aspects of psychosocial care and recognition of mental illness. We support community centers in Damascus where we oversee psychosocial activities for young children, adolescents and young adults. The roughly 2,800 young people participants in these programs are evenly divided between local residents and Iraqi refugees. In addition, we opened a new child and family care center for children with special needs.

Family Center - A Trucker's Wife
As a trucker-wife, our ability to care for our loved ones becomes a bit more challenging.
While our husbands are on the road, caring for them requires that we improvise and become creative to fulfill their needs. One of the greatest challenges that truck drivers face is an unbalanced nutrition and lack of exercise. C'mon ladies, we have all noticed the traditional trucker-tummy!
Not only are the results of such poor nutrition combined with a stressful lifestyle shown around the midsize but also in their overall health. Obesity, cholesterol, high-blood pressure and diabetes are things that affect all of us, but our truckers are more susceptible because the lifestyle they lead does not allow for many changes to alleviate any conditions.
However, choices are available and there is so much that we can do to help.
During the hot summer months, dehydration is a big problem. How can your energy run if it is low in juice? As drivers begin to settle into a routine they become attached to certain drinks and consume them in large amounts during their day. Sodas, energy drinks and coffee range as the highest selling drinks in truck stops. However, a body craves water. Regular, old-fashioned, unadulterated H2O! Nothing hydrates you, energizes you and fuels you like a good, cold drink of water. Even better than that, it comes with no chemicals, additives or coloring that will do who-knows-what to their insides.
Consuming fresh foods is also difficult on the road; fresh fruits and vegetables are an important part of everyone's diet and so many of our systems can experience difficulty because we do not consume them. Everything from bones and teeth can have a negative impact if we do not consume fresh foods. Likewise, finding a way to incorporate them into a trucker's diet is not too difficult. Buying the little bags of salad and adding a few fresh cherry tomatoes can add to anyone's diet. Making better choices at the food bars is also important, the food there is made to be comforting and remind us of home, and however, it is also greasy and loaded with calories.
Another option that drivers are going for are protein shakes. Protein shakes are not only to bulk up if you are a bodybuilder, many shakes are now considered a healthy alternative for those who are constantly on-the-go but that do not have time to make a healthy meal. Making a shake in the morning and a shake in the afternoon allows them to take in their daily vitamin intake required and it also delivers fewer calories than the value meal and the closest fast food place. Small blenders with several cups are available at retailers for less than 30 dollars and you can make him several mixes of fruit and flavors for him to take on-the-road. You can mix berries in a baggie, strawberries and pineapple and even strawberries with a couple of tablespoons of banana pudding. The calorie intake in that, even with the pudding will be minimal considering the alternatives or you could consider using sugar-free puddings and jellos to add flavor.
Finally, while you are making a healthy meal for your family on a daily basis you could make an extra portion for your husband and throw it in the freezer for him. As he comes home he can load it into his refrigerator (a must and a huge help in saving on-the-road expenses) and eat a wholesome meal prepared by you, no matter where the road may take him. This can work on many levels. Having a home cooked meal while away from home will provide him with good nutrition that you can vouch for and it is almost like being a little bit closer to home.
Last but not least is a good multi-vitamin. How often does your trucker drive for hours and eat maybe one meal a day and even that meal wasn't that great. He may be getting the calories but the nutrients that he needs will make him tired, irritable and fatigued all of which will influence his work performance and his home time. Not to mention the new restrictions on drivers that keep showing up all the time. But even more than restrictive legislations is the thought than an ounce of prevention is better than the medical cost of dealing with many illnesses that can result from the lifestyle of a truck driver.
In the long run, making better decisions for our health and for our family's health depend on all of us. We have to make adjustments to accommodate our needs and circumstances and most of all, we have to do what works for us. As truck driver wives we are charged with the difficult task of providing the best care possible for our husbands and our families and to balance all the things that come to us because of our chosen lifestyle. But by making smart and informed choices, we can make this lifestyle work and prosper. Happy Trucking!

|Separate WC's
|3,000 sq. ft.
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|2 nights
This home with waterfront is perfect for family reunions, extended families, or just large groups of friends! The east side location provides plenty of sunshine and awesome sunsets. There is a large two acre grassy lawn for kids to play and no neighbors on either side near the house. Since the yard is very spacious, you do have to walk approximately 100 yards (length of a football field) down the gently sloping property to the beach. The property gets more narrow towards the beach area where cottages get closer together. A stone driveway to drive to the water for people who can't walk this distance is located on the side of the property and cuts across the lawn near the waterfront. It is also used as a driveway/lane for cottages directly on the water. Kids can run and play, fly a kite, adults can have a volleyball game, play hoops, roast marsh-mellows, have a picnic, and take part in all kinds of water activities.
Inside, there is plenty of space to hang out together in the living room or family room. The dining room table seats 10 and table in the adjacent kitchen seats 6. Just outside the dining room is the deck which can seat 5 more or so. Many folks enjoy the piano room where they have singalongs with the family. There are also lots of nooks and crannies in the home where you could enjoy some quiet time away from the group. Of course, you could also do a little sunning at the beach while listening to the lapping waves, or relax in the lawn under one of the large shade trees.
The beach is all small flat rocks(shale) and has a deck and 45 foot dock. There are some stairs (approx. 20) from the lawn to the beach area. The water is very clean and there are no weeds in this area. It's crystal clear and you can easily see the bottom. It's a nice gradual walk out into the water and is about three feet deep at the end of the dock, which is great for kids- no drop offs. There is a rowboat with life-jackets for your use. For extremely large groups, we also own another home a short walk away with three bedrooms and sleeps 10 that you can inquire about. Auburn is only a short drive (a few miles)away, so it is very convenient for shopping, restaurants, parks,etc. There are many things to do just a short drive away.
Keywords: finger lakes, lakefront, home, near wineries
We are both school teachers nearby and live within a mile of the home. Since our teaching careers allow us to have summers off, we are able to promptly respond to any needs renters may have or questions they need answered.
Christine Izzo purchased this house in 2003
Large home and lawn! Crystal clear water here and nice gradual walk out, good for kids.
We booked this for a vacation for our extended family, and were looking specifically for somewhere near a lake but not necessarily right on the water. it worked out brilliantly. Christine the owner was kind, helpful, polite and very responsive. We had eight adults, in four couples, and a baby with us and there was plenty of space and beds for everyone. The house officially takes 20+ people and it was very comfortable for 9, with two sitting rooms, a dining room, plenty of outdoor furniture, and four large double bedrooms, a smaller double, and a single. There was a cot for the baby, enormous amounts of bedding and towels available, and plenty of comfortable places to sit.
The kitchen was very well stocked with pots, pans and knives, the oven was easy to use, and it was well-kept and clean. Because the house can be used for large groups, there were two fridge-freezers which was great as well as a barbecue on the patio. It was easy to cook for large groups in the spacious kitchen and there was a dishwasher, meaning that the cleaning up was pretty easy.
As had a 14 month old child with us, we wanted to make sure he'd be safe outside and that we would all be able to enjoy the water. The garden is huge - a long rolling lawn with a basketball hoop, benches and firepit. There's a short walk through a neighboring garden to get to the private dock and that proved ideal. The house has a pair of canoes and paddles, which we took out on the lake several times. Owasco Lake itself has quite a stony shore, but it was still possible to swim off the dock provided you wore waterproof shoes (recommended!).
There's a number of very good restaurants in Auburn - we particularly liked Moro's Table (fancy & French), Lasca's (family friendly, excellent Italian trattoria), and Green Shutters (diner-style restaurant with outdoor seating and lots of ice cream choices).
The Long Point State Park near the picturesque town of Aurora on Cayuga Lake and the pretty town of Skaneateles both offered good days out.
We would highly recommend this place for any family or large group looking for a comfortable, clean, pleasant place to stay in the Finger Lakes. It was lovely.
This house offers plenty of sleeping options including extra rollaway beds. The house has beautiful decor. There's plenty of dishes, pots & pants, and cooking utensils available. The nice piano was a big hit for us as well. Having plenty of dining space was great for us as well. Overall, we like the clean house, it was not luxurious house, but it definitely had everything we needed. There's plenty of parking spaces. The yard is huge in which we all enjoyed playing with our kids. We played bad mitten, volleyball, did s'mores at the nice fire pit, and used the picnic tables. We also loved that we have access to the lake and utilized the 2 kayaks included with the property. We did some swimming as well. The dock was nice to sit and watch beautiful sunsets. Yes, beautiful sunsets! Christine was very quick in responding to all of our questions. We all left this property feeling very happy and looking forward to another reunion here in the future. Thanks, Christine!
I had to book this house for a retreat for 24 hours for 30-ish college students. It turned out to be perfect for what we needed! Christine left out instructions for how to maintain the house when we left, and was kind enough to keep pamphlets about the surrounding area in the kitchen. It is a very quaint house with excellent space for group discussions, and has beautiful art on the walls too! Backyard is also perfect for outdoor activities, and the house is only 3 miles from a picturesque park for photos. It was a great weekend!
We rented this house for an annual fall reunion and there was plenty of space and beds for all of us. Christine was always great with all communications before and after the visit and we particularly enjoyed the large fire ring in the back yard.
We vacationed with a large group- 4 families- with children ranging in age from 3-13. The house is a short walk from the lake, but not a problem even with small children. Despite some rainy weather, we had a wonderful time and the home accomodated us well. Christine was quick to respond to any questions or concerns that we had prior to and during our visit. We would definitely consider staying at this home again.
Our family of 18 stayed here over Memorial Day weekend. It is a very roomy, clean, well decorated, well stocked house with lots of outside space We really enjoyed coffee and conversation on the deck overlooking the small view of the lake. The kids loved the fire pit, volleyball, and sitting on the dock at the lake. Some steep steps to get down to the water - but worth the view of the lake! Christine and her husband were very responsive to questions and our needs. The weather was perfect - even a little warmer than usual. Nice area to walk or ride bikes. Walmart and Wegmans are close by. There is also a very nice park for kids on the lake in Auburn. Our family had nothing but good things to say about our choice of this home for our weekend.
Fishing is excellent on this lake. Walleye, bass, trout, pike, perch, and other panfish are abundant. Besides the many water activities, visit the Bass Pro Shop located only a few miles away in Auburn. Take a wine tour, hike the trails and waterfalls at nearby Filmore Glen State Park, Taughannick Falls or Buttermilk Falls, visit the Harriet Tubman Home, Seward House, or the Women's Rights Museum, or see a show at the Broadway caliber Merry-Go-Round Playhouse,only a few miles down the road. There is also be a new music theater festival in Auburn as well. There are plenty of golf courses within a few minutes drive. Disc golf is right around the corner, along with Emerson Park and several playgrounds. And don't forget to just kick back and relax at our beach!

Short rotation woody crops (SRWC), such as hybrid poplar, have the potential to serve as a valuable feedstock for cellulosic biofuels. Spatial estimates of biomass yields under different management regimes are required for assisting stakeholders in making better management decisions and to establish viable woody cropping systems for biofuel production. To support stakeholders in their management decisions, we have developed a GIS-based web interface using a modified 3PG model for spatially predicting poplar biomass yields under different management and climate conditions in the U.S. Pacific Northwest region. The application is implemented with standard HTML5 components, allowing its use in a modern browser and dynamically adjusting to the client screen size and device. In addition, cloud storage of the results makes them accessible on any Internet-enabled device. The web interface appears simple, but is powerful in parameter manipulation and in visualizing and sharing the results. Overall, this application comprises dynamic features that enable users to run SRWC crop growth simulations based on GIS information and contributes significantly to choosing appropriate feedstock growing locations, anticipating the desired physiological properties of the feedstock and incorporating the management and policy analysis needed for growing hybrid poplar plantations.
Short rotation woody crops (SRWC) have been considered as a potential feedstock supply source for sustainable biofuel production [
Efficient feedstock supply chains that can provide biomass reliably and cost effectively are needed for the development of sustainable bioenergy industries. To build such supply chains, many factors influencing biomass supply need to be carefully analyzed with the participation of many stakeholders, including land owners, farmers, industrial players and policy makers [
The Advanced Hardwood Biofuels Northwest (AHB) project, a research and development initiative supported by the U.S. Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA-NIFA), focuses on researching sustainable ways of producing biofuel from poplar production in the U.S. Pacific Northwest region. Under this initiative, a physiological model, referred to as 3PG-AHB, was developed for modeling poplar growth under short rotation using the existing 3PG model (use of
Biomass potential varies with the change in location, management and climate, and therefore, site-level logistics are important in configuring landscape design for reliable biomass supply chains [
Previous work has been done in building applications to support geographical and agricultural decision-making. These tools use various technologies and address issues that include location selection and evaluation, continuous plantation monitoring and real-time decision-making [
Model interaction chart.
The main goal for the user interface is to provide a simple and clean design that is responsive and able to adapt to various device screen sizes and resolutions.
The website is separated into 3 sections: (1) Inputs, Charts and Raw Output with a toolbar on the top that contains shortcuts to these 3 sections; (2) Run button and (3) Login menu (
User interface features.
Users can visually select a location on the map by clicking the location button in the Inputs section. This location is interpreted on an 8 by 8-kilometer grid, which is the resolution for the weather and soil data that have been collected from the PRISM and State Soil Geographic databases [
Users select the input class by clicking on one of the tabs, which displays the variables in that class, as well as their descriptions. Clicking on a variable name displays its default value, which can then be changed. This approach of zooming to the input value of interest has improved the application interface and helped to group related parameters in a meaningful and intuitive way. The users interested in crop species parameters will find them under the "Tree" tab, while those interested in plantation management practices will find them under the "Manage" tab.
Charts come in Basic and Interactive modes for simple display and fine-grained time resolution, respectively (
Biomass yields with irrigation set to half and full irrigation based on crop water needs.
The effects of the irrigation fraction on stem biomass yield.
The shortcut panel is useful when the application is viewed on the smaller screen of a handheld device. It aids in quickly switching between the locations on the site instead of scrolling up and down between them.
For model variation analysis and parameter testing that are crucial during the model development stages, the application supports the option to input an array of comma-separated values for up to 2 arrays at a time. This, in turn, provides the option to compare results for various inputs. During the model validation phase, this feature can be used to analyze various effects of the parameters, a crucial step in species parameterization when tuning the model to other hardwood species.
The same functionality of the application can be applied to the plantation management parameters that enable farmers to choose the time of the year that works best for planting and coppicing and to decide on irrigation strategies for optimal growth.
Thus, setting the irrigation fraction parameter to 0 simulates plantation yields under rain-fed only cultivation, with no supplemental irrigation, while setting it to 1 simulates yields under full irrigation to meet all of the water needs of the trees (
Various third-party technologies (mention of any specific trade name does not constitute an endorsement by the University of California) were used for implementing the application in order to shorten the development cycle and simplify maintenance (
Bootstrap uses custom Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) rules to implement responsive layouts that conform to a screen size, while also providing a set of easy to use CSS components and jQuery plugins. The Bower package manager downloads any required packages and manages their dependencies, and Grunt builds the application, compressing the JS and CSS files [
For developing the UI in the local environment, Grunt Development Server can be started. The same build produced by Grunt is run through Apache Cordova/PhoneGap to produce native Android and iPhone applications of the same content as the web application generated [
The server also hosts the PostgreSQL database that is running PostGIS and stores weather and soil data collected from PRISM and StatsGo databases [
Technology level overview.
Users login with Google credentials. This is made possible by Google OAuth service, where the OAuth protocol is a standard protocol commonly used across many cloud service applications that allows for third-party authentication of users [
In addition to cloud storage, Google Drive SDK provides Realtime API, which allows for multiple users to collaborate on the same model at the same time and to see each other's changes. It also provides the API to store and load previously saved models, Fusion Tables to overlay the map of possible locations with the 8 by 8-km grid and Google Spreadsheets to export raw output data in CSV format if the user desires and upload the user's custom weather data in CSV format, which is made possible by the FileReader API [
The target audience for this application is somewhat domain specific, concentrating on users with knowledge in the field of biofuel feedstocks. However, the hope is that it can include growers and potential growers, besides researchers, and educate people about the potential in the field. In order to assess the user interface design of the application, we have developed a preliminary test of site usability and performance using a small sample set of 24 use cases. The volunteers were predominantly graduate students and postdoctoral fellows and not necessarily representative of the target audience. Volunteers were assigned a list of common tasks to perform within the application. The tasks were fairly open-ended in scope, and the responses about site functionality and accessibility were collected and analyzed.
Most (85%) reported high to very high satisfaction with the application design and responsiveness. Only one identified the application as unfriendly. Most volunteers had no major issues with the common tasks of the application.
Regarding data assimilation, most were able to identify the procedures to discover and assimilate climatic data and change parameters, and to manage the model runs. The variation of parameters was typically well understood.
Individual comments from the reviews were most notably about adding more information regarding the parameters of the model. This would help both the farmers and potential research collaborators alike to feel more comfortable making changes to input parameters and understanding the effects in the resulting predictions of biomass. Allowing the application to support more immediate feedback on parameters was noted as an important feature. Modifications to include automatic range checking, visualizations of the expected values and information on the part of the model that a change in a parameter might affect were all identified as potential improvements.
More complex uses of the model, for example uploading specific weather data as opposed to using the automatically-assigned averages, were identified as more difficult to perform without additional tutorials.
The use of the cloud environment requires ownership of a Google account for authentication, thereby limiting the application users. This is only a requirement when users wish to store and share their model runs, however, and was not seen as a major issue of concern within the study group.
The 3PG-AHB web application is currently accessible via a server of the University of California, Davis [
As mentioned previously, input parameters for the application are separated into classes, such as Tree, Plantation, Soil, Weather, Constants, Manage and Setup. Under each class, there are the input variables and their descriptions. After selecting a specific variable, the user can view and alter the default value. After each run of the model, the Raw Output and Charts are displayed. The default variables produced are the root (WR), stem (WS) and foliage (WF) biomass yields in dry metric tons per hectare. A unit conversion module can be implemented to shift the output to conventional units or those specifically understood by the user. The displaying of additional graphs occurs with the Add button, which opens a new window where the user can see all of the variables produced as the model runs, the full names, descriptions and units of those variables, as well as the implementation of each function used to compute them—the fn() link. This functionality enables observing variables for correct behavior and for error checking the code during the model validation stage.
If sensitivity analysis or application calibration is of interest, arrays of comma-separated values can be provided as input. The output charts have the resulting variables for each of the input values coded by color and displayed on the same chart for easy visualization and comparison of that variable's contribution to the biomass growth prediction. Besides the Basic charts that show the whole simulation intervals, Interactive charts are available that provide for zooming the visualization to some shorter period of time (e.g., from years to months).
The user is also given the option to log in with his or her Google Account and save, share and load previously saved model results from within the website. The file can also be shared from within the Google Drive application after saving. Authentication and storage happen through Google services, allowing a local cloud space in which user data are stored. Google Realtime API, which allows for simultaneous file editing in Google Docs, has also been enabled for this application. Active users are displayed in the top right corner, and the cells being editing are identified with the user name. This allows for a more immediate collaboration. For model development, testing and validation, previous versions of the application are identified by appending the URL with the version number flag that accesses that version in the GitHub repository. This has proven to be a tremendous asset in validating the functionality of the model and ensuring the correct behavior between versions. Without this version flag, the application always loads the latest code from the repository, so that the user accesses the most up-to-date code version.
Other functionality includes storing of raw outputs in the form of a CSV (comma-separated) file, which allows for further data analysis to be performed outside of the application when desired by the user. Storing a specific hybrid of the tree species is also an important addition. If the parameters of a hybrid are known, the values can be easily loaded for hybrid-specific studies. Weather is another important input class that supports the upload of custom data, for example for using actual weather data instead of averages that are supplied by default. This functionality has allowed model validation for studies outside of the Pacific Northwest region.
The user survey performed on a non-target audience of volunteers has tested the potential of the 3PG-AHB application in terms of user interface design. Even though the task description was purposely vague, volunteers had no difficulty locating key components of the application, running test scenarios and storing and sharing results. The responsiveness and speed of the website were noticeable, which were all made possible by the design and technology decisions.
Developing and maintaining an online application requires a balance in the use of third-party components. The 3PG-AHB model leans heavily on libraries and tools developed by other groups. This speeds the development time significantly, but also makes the application potentially fragile with respect to changes in those technologies. The use of code building frameworks, as well as the choice to deploy multiple version instances of the application should moderate that concern. At the same time, maintenance of the geospatial data still requires a hosted service.
The technology bundles used for building the application can be readily reused for other geospatial and time series models. Components of the model, such as the model sharing methods, data management and visualization choices can be incorporated into other applications, as well.
In addition to the parameter input enhancements discussed above, the model can be expanded further into agricultural decision support, helping users select the best poplar hybrids for growth as appropriate parameterization of hybrid poplars and other hardwoods becomes available. With little modification, the application can become a library for these sets of input data.
The 3PG-AHB application includes specialized programming hooks connecting it to Google Analytics, so that it can be further monitored after being released to the public. These results enable dedicating the appropriate resources to support the influx of users, test the application on commonly used browsers and ensure that the infrastructure meets the needs of the users.
The 3PG-AHB application can serve multiple purposes outside the original scope without changes to the code. Growing poplar for purposes other than biofuel production, such as for the pulp and lumber industries, does not require short rotation coppicing. If users prefer to run the simulation for non-coppiced scenarios, the coppice date needs only to be set to the same as the end-of-simulation date under the "Manage" class of input parameters. While the model is anticipated to perform well under these conditions, validation and sensitivity analysis have only been completed so far for shorter-term coppiced SRWC. In order to support non-hardwood crop growth, modeling more extensive changes would be necessary, potentially including a complete replacement of the underlying physiological model in favor of other, more appropriate models designed for the selected feedstocks.
The 3PG-AHB application is intended as a facilitating tool for the investigation of biofuel feedstocks and designed for overall ease of use, automatic integration of spatial data, information-rich visualizations and simple access to sensitivity analysis along with input data calibration to support production decisions. The model analyses and predictions should allow for more effective long-term decisions regarding the sustainable design of the biofuel feedstock supply chain, as well as real-time decisions in the field. In addition to assisting landowners in making informed decisions, the application should help to educate the public about new possibilities, facilitate collaboration among researchers and enhance other renewable bioenergy modeling efforts.

Technical Abstract: The purpose of this research is to determine the effects of grazing management practices on Phosphorus (P) losses from upland pastures in Iowa. In 2001, five grazing treatments, including an ungrazed control, hay and stockpile, rotational grazing to 10 cm, rotational grazing to 5 cm, and continuous grazing to 5 cm, were established in each of three pastures at a research farm in Marshall County, Iowa. Initial total P, available P, labile P, and root length density were measured in each pasture. Rainfall simulations were conducted in June, August, and October 2001. Sward heights and dry matter accumulation were measured at the time of rainfall simulation. All measures of soil P varied with soil type and were highest in the surface soil layers. Root length density varied among treatments and pastures, but differences were not statistically significant. Although data have been collected only one year, results suggest that P losses are related to antecedent soil water content and sward height. The results of this study will provide information on improved grazing management practices, which will reduce amounts of P in runoff and maintain yield and quality of forage grasses.

Business Law
Ask a Business Lawyer. Get Business Law Questions Answered ASAP.
They would have jurisdiction of you for purposes of terminating the lien on the real property in TX. That is because actions involving rights in real property take place where the real property is located. Have you modified the judgment to a monetary value for the equipment that was not returned?
No I have not modified the judgment to a monetary value....I was going to add the motion to modify in the same court motion requesting contempt....and do both at the same time with the District Probate Judge who allowed the entry of the final judgment. Is a lien considered illegal when in fact the corporation was awarded a judgment against the real property? Is that a defense?
The question I have is must I file two different motions because the lawsuit filed on the alleged illegal lien is in a different court than the the court that allowed the entry of judgment. It seems I would have to file the contempt motion in the District Probate court...and answer the lien citation in the court that it cites. Is there any way to join them? Also, what would be my defense on the alleged illegal lien....would it be that I had every right to encumber the real property of the estate as this is the only asset of the estate that is attachable ....and they left me with little choice when they refused to deliver the property required under the judgment? Thanks for an answer.
When I make a motion to modify the judgment to a monetary value....would proof of internet pricing from different companies for replacement of each item be sufficient or must I bring in expert witnesses to corroborate the internet pricing on the replacement value and to testify to the fact that there is no market for purchasing used jewelry making equipment? Can I make a motion to modify in the same motion for contempt or must they be submitted separately?
There are two separate motions to be dealt with in the two different courts. You can make a motion in the probate court for contempt and to modify the judgment to add a monetary value. If the judgment granted to the corporation was for a dollar amount, the lien on real property would attach automatically. However, since the judgment was to turn over specific property, the lien on the real property is of questinoable validity. Your best defense is to lay out the history and their refusal to release the equipment. On the modification to put a value equipment pricing off the internet should suffice. You should not need an expert.
If this answer is responsive to your question, please accept it. That is how we are compensated. It would also be appreciated if you provided feed back on your view of the answer. Finally, if the answer was especially helpful you can provide a bonus. If I can be of further assistance or you have other questions in the future you can ask for me and reach me at this site.

Would you agree according to the definition below that a Writ of Execution can also be used to obtain property? Also in his citation the Defendant's attorney is not contesting that property cannot be obtained under the writ but stating that the lien is fraudulent under Texas Civ Prac and Rem Code 12.002 (a)(1) and that I only have an interest in assets related to a jewelry making business and that I have never had an interest in real property in the Estate's possession. Wouldn't a judgment against the estate be sufficient grounds to file a claim of lien on the ONLY property the estate owns?
Please see below the definition I found of a writ of execution ....I believe it can include property:
Version:1.0 StartHTML:0000000246 EndHTML:0000003779 StartFragment:0000002490 EndFragment:0000003743 SourceURL:file://localhost/Jane's%20Documents/Randy/Jeffrey%20Mahl%20File/writ%20of%20attachment/letter%20to%20Judge%20Souli%20Shanklin.doc
From: http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Writ+of+execution
WRIT OF EXECUTION, practice. A writ to put in force the sentence that the law has given: it is addressed to the Sheriff (and in the courts of the United States, to the marshal) commanding him, according to the nature of the case, either to give the plaintiff possession of lands; or to enforce the delivery of a chattel which was the subject of the action; or to levy for the plaintiff, the debt, or damager, and costs recovered; or to levy for the defendant his costs; and that, either upon the body of the opposite party, his lands, or goods, or in some cases, upon his body, land, and goods; the extent and manner of the execution directed, always depending upon the nature of the judgment. 3 Bl. Com. 413.
Does reference to "chattel" or "goods" above translate to property rather than debt or money?
Is a filing a claim of lien against the estate for goods owed under a judgment against the estate sufficient to justify its filing?
Just looked up under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code 12.001 (a) (1):
§ 12.002. LIABILITY. (a) A person may not make, present, or use a document or other record with: (1) knowledge that the document or other record is a fraudulent court record or a fraudulent lien or claim against real or personal property or an interest in real or personal property;
Could I argue that the document (lien) is not fraudulent because it is based upon a final judgment that was entered and also signed and agreed to by the estate...and that the language of the lien is the same as the language used in the final judgment....thereby demonstrating that it is not fraudulent.
Forgot to mention that the estate is using 12.002(a) (1) above to justify his citation against me for filing an alleged "illegal claim of lien" I would like to include in my answer a sound rebuttal to this cite.
The reference to chattel is what we generally refer to as goods in current usuage. I am having some problems with my internet connection so I will have to get back to you after I look at the statutes. I do not think the staute is likely to cover this situation because if the equipment is not returned, the estate will be liable for its value and in that case the judgment lien would apply to the real property. Once I can get to the statute I will give you a more complete take on this issue.

JERUSALEM (Aug. 2)
Remains identified with Timnah, the Philistine city where Samson courted Delilah and slew a lion, have been uncovered by archaeologists working in collaboration with the Institute of Archaeology of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
The team has just concluded its first season of excavations at Tel Batash. The site, located in the Sorek Valley, seven kilometers west of Beth Shemesh, is the site of the biblical city of Timnah.
The expedition, sponsored by an institutional consortium, including New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, Mississippi College and Louisiana College, in collaboration with the Hebrew University's Institute of Archaeology, was under the direction of Dr. George L. Kelm, expedition director, and Amihai Mazar, archaeological field director. The four-week project was conducted with a 40-member staff and volunteer work force from the United States and Israel.
The excavations revealed a Canaanite city which was destroyed by a tremendous fire near the end of the late Bronze Age (circa. 1200 B.C.E.). The building remains of the Canaanite city included a part of a large public building and a defensive city wall. Among the finds were a Canaanite cylinder seal, bronze tools and weapons, and typical Canaanite pottery vessels.
On the ruins of the Canaanite city, remains of Philistine occupation were discovered. Floors, ovens silos and typical Philistine pottery shards were recovered. The special finds included a Philistine conical stamp sea and clay molded bull-head. This occupation may be identified with the Philistine city of Timnah, well-known in the Samson stories in the Book of Judges.
During the latter part of the iron Age (the period of the Israelite monarchy–10th to 11th Centuries B.C.E.), a fortified city existed on the site. A massive, four-meter wide city wall and the city gate were exposed during the excavations. The city gate was a large complex, about 16 meters square. On both sides of the wide central passage, three piers created guard rooms. The gate was destroyed and reconstructed according to a modified plan towards the end of the Israelite period. A well-protected ramp led to the city gate along the eastern slope of the site.
The importance of this border city between Philistia and Judea is emphasized in the biblical account of its capture by the Philistines during the reign of King Ahaz, and its mention in the account of Sennacherib's campaign through Philistia in 701 B.C.E. The expedition plans to continue and expand its research on the site during a projected six-year program.

Gravity boots
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (September 2011) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Gravity boots are ankle supports designed to allow a person to hang upside down. Thanks to exposure in television dramas and movies in the 1980s, gravity boots became a common fitness tool in homes across the United States.
Today, gravity boots are used by the U.S. Army and have experienced a surge in popularity in 2006 with The Da Vinci Code author Dan Brown praising them as well.[1] Several companies manufacture and market gravity boots under various trade names.
The purported benefits of gravity boots range from the relief of back pain and headaches to increased oxygen flow to the brain. Some people use gravity boots to add an extra challenge to workouts, doing inverted crunches or squats, while others such as Uri Geller use them to increase blood flow to the brain, in the belief that it facilitates thinking.[2]
One manufacturer was Gravity Guidance, founded by Robert Martin, Jr. Their "Gravity Guidance System", which was developed by the founder's father, American physician, osteopath and chiropractor Robert Martin, Sr. The Gravity Guidance System was an inversion therapy system that allowed patients to hang upside down with the help of gravity boots and a metal bar wedged within a doorframe. The system gained widespread fame after it was used by Richard Gere in the 1980 movie American Gigolo.
The company benefited from this exposure and in 1983 was listed second among Inc. Magazine's Inc. 500 fastest-growing companies. However, the success was short-lived, as both lawsuits over injuries and the concerns expressed in medical publications about stroke risk and ocular pressure made the public wary of the health risks of inversion therapy. The system was probably no riskier than other exercise equipment, but consumers had lost confidence in the system and Gravity Guidance Inc., defaulted.
In 1984, Tim Elam, then a sales consultant for Gravity Guidance Systems, developed an inversion device that allowed for the user to get into the inverted position without the use of gravity boots. The Skyhook inverter marketing rights were sold to Universal Fitness Products and rolled out into the marketplace in the spring of 1984. Sales were brisk until concerns expressed by the medical industry lowered sales to the point that Universal also went out of business, along with several other companies who were promoting inversion and oscillation equipment.
Elam retained the patent pending and the marketing rights of the Skyhook Inversion and Oscillation System and continues to be a proponent of the benefits of oscillation therapy.

University Park PA (SPX) Jun 13, 2008
A large genetic study of the extinct woolly mammoth has revealed that the species was not one large homogenous group, as scientists previously had assumed, and that it did not have much genetic diversity.
"The population was split into two groups, then one of the groups died out 45,000 years ago, long before the first humans began to appear in the region," said Stephan C. Schuster, associate professor of biochemistry and molecular biology at Penn State University and a leader of the research team.
"This discovery is particularly interesting because it rules out human hunting as a contributing factor, leaving climate change and disease as the most probable causes of extinction." The discovery will be published later this week in the early online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
The research marks the first time scientists have dissected the structure of an entire population of extinct mammal by using the complete mitochondrial genome -- all the DNA that makes up all the genes found in the mitochondria structures within cells.
Data from this study will enable testing of the new hypothesis presented by the team, that there were two groups of woolly mammoth -- a concept that previously had not been recognized from studies of the fossil record.
The scientists analyzed the genes in hair obtained from individual woolly mammoths -- an extinct species of elephant adapted to living in the cold environment of the northern hemisphere. The bodies of these mammoths were found throughout a wide swathe of northern Siberia. Their dates of death span roughly 47,000 years, ranging from about 13,000 years ago to about 60,000 years ago.
Schuster and Webb Miller, professor of biology and computer science and engineering at Penn State, led the international research team, which includes Thomas Gilbert at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark and other scientists in Australia, Belgium, France, Italy, Russia, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
The team includes experts in the fields of genome evolution, ancient DNA, and mammoth paleontology, as well as curators from various natural-history museums.
Another important finding for understanding the extinction processes is that the individuals in each of the two woolly-mammoth groups were related very closely to one another. "This low genetic divergence is surprising because the woolly mammoth had an extraordinarily wide range: from Western Europe, to the Bering Strait in Siberia, to Northern America," Miller said.
"The low genetic divergence of mammoth, which we discovered, may have degraded the biological fitness of these animals in a time of changing environments and other challenges."
Our study suggests a genetic divergence of the two woolly-mammoth groups more than 1-million years ago, which is one quarter the genetic distance that separates Indian and African elephants and woolly mammoths," Miller said. The research indicates that the diversity of the two woolly-mammoth populations was as low centuries ago as it is now in the very small populations of Asian elephants living in southern India.
"The low genetic divergence of the elephants in southern Indian has been suggested as contributing to the problems of maintaining this group as a thriving population," Schuster said. Intriguingly, the mitochondrial genomes revealed by the researchers are several times more complete than those known for the modern Indian and African Elephants combined.
Whereas studies before this research had analyzed only short segments of the DNA of extinct species, this new study generated and compared 18 complete genomes of the extinct woolly mammoth using mitochondrial DNA, an important material for studying ancient genes.
This achievement is based on an earlier discovery of the team led by Miller, Schuster, and co-author Thomas Gilbert, which was published last year and that revealed ancient DNA survives much better in hair than in any other tissue investigated so far.
This discovery makes hair, when it is available, a more powerful and efficient source of DNA for studying the genome sequences of extinct animals. Moreover, mammoth hair is found in copious quantities in cold environments and it is not regarded as fossil material of enormous value like bone or muscle, which also carries anatomical information.
"We also discovered that the DNA in hair shafts is remarkably enriched for mitochondrial DNA, the special type of DNA frequently used to measure the genetic diversity of a population," Miller said. The team's earlier study also showed that hair is superior for use in molecular-genetic analysis because it is much easier than bone to decontaminate.
Not only is hair easily cleaned of external contamination such as bacteria and fungi, its structure also protects it from degradation, preventing internal penetration by microorganisms in the environment.
An important aspect of the new study is that the hair samples it used had been stored in various museums for many years before being analyzed by the researchers, yet the scientists were able to obtain lots of useful DNA from them. "One of our samples originates from the famous Adams mammoth, which was found in 1799 and has been stored at room temperatures for the last 200 years," Schuster said.
This research technique opens the door for future projects to target interesting specimens that were collected a long time ago and are no longer available from modern species, the scientists said. Even the molecular analysis of entire collections seems now possible, an effort that the team calls "Museomics."
"We plan to continue using our techniques to untangle the secrets of populations that lived long ago and to learn what it might have taken for them to survive," Schuster said. "Many of us also have a personal interest in learning as much as we can about how any species of large mammal can go extinct."
The research was supported, in large part, by Penn State University, Roche Applied Sciences, and a private sponsor. Additional support was provided by the National Human Genome Research Institute, Marie Curie Actions, the Australian Research Council, the Russian Foundation for Basic Research, and the Pennsylvania Department of Health.

NEW ORLEANS — A 3½-pound bass caught with five minutes left in his fishing day earned New Jersey pro angler Michael Iaconelli the 2003 CITGO Bassmaster Classic crown and a $200,000 paycheck.
"I feel proud. It was an amazing punctuation to the day," the 31-year-old Woodbury Heights, N.J., fisherman told reporters after winning on the Louisiana Delta. "I stayed focused until the very last minute that I had to leave."
"I can sum this up in two words," he said of the victory, "Yeah, baby."
His final bass taken in the Venice section of the Delta allowed Iaconelli to cull a 1¼-pound bass from his livewell and gain about 2¼ pounds of total weight on his five-fish limit. His 37-pound, 14-ounce three-day total was 1¾ pounds heavier than the nearest competitor. Iaconelli boated 10 pounds, 14 ounces of bass on Sunday.
Second place and a $50,000 check went to Gary Klein, 45, of Weatherford, Texas, on a total of 36 pounds, 2 ounces (11 pounds, 14 ounces on Sunday). Harold Allen, 58, of Shelbyville, Texas, finished third for $40,000 with a total of 34 pounds, 3 ounces (11 pounds, 14 ounces Sunday). Roland Martin, 63, of Clewiston, Fla., claimed fourth place and $35,000 on a 31-pound, 9-ounce total (11 pounds, 14 ounces Sunday). And Curt Lytle, 34, of Suffolk, Va., took fifth and $25,000 on a final weight of 31 pounds, 3 ounces (10 pounds, 9 ounces Sunday).
Klein, who had finished fourth at three previous Classics, said coming close but not winning makes him even hungrier to win.
"It's going to make me more determined. I'm a fighter," said Klein after completing his 21st Classic. "I've got to get better at my sport."
Klein said his opportunity to win the tournament slipped away Saturday, when he lost a 4-pound bass and a 3-pound bass. "That was my opportunity to close the door, and I missed it," he said.
In a bizarre incident Sunday at about 11 a.m., a camper on shore shot a gun over Klein's boat, he said.
"I was driving my boat south in Bayou Camp Town and a man in a camp on the west side of the bayou was aiming a long gun at our boat," Klein wrote in a voluntary statement to the Plaquemines Parish Sheriff's Office. "As we passed by, he shot over my boat."
Klein plans to press charges if authorities catch the shooter.
Allen said having to leave his best fishing hole early might have cost him a shot at winning. He had been fishing in an isolated canal when a man in an airboat pulled up and told him it was private property and to leave. The same man had told him another canal where he was fishing Saturday was also private property. Allen said there were no signs at either canal indicating they were private property.
"I was pretty messed up mentally," said Allen, who did not catch another bass for more than two hours after being asked to leave the canal. "I feel like we might have had sort of a chance to win this thing or maybe finish second if things had not gone the way they did."

Effectively Wild Episode 22: "Why BP Didn't Break the Melky Cabrera Suspension"
August 15, 2012 10:30 pm
How much did Melky Cabrera's suspension affect San Francisco's odds of appearing in October?
When news of Melky Cabrera's 50-game suspension for taking testosterone broke this afternoon, the Giants had 45 games remaining, were tied with the Dodgers atop the NL West, and were half a game worse than the Braves and Pirates, the two teams tentatively holding the two NL Wild Cards. Shortly after that, they lost to the Nationals, 6-4, but let's pretend that never happened. (Who knows, maybe with Melky they would have won.) This morning, with Melky, the Giants had a 60.5 percent chance of making the playoffs: 53.2 percent from winning the division, and 7.3 percent from winning a Wild Card. How much did losing Melky for the rest of the regular season affect their odds?

How do we judge a GM who seems to make so many wrong moves -- and wins anyway?
What does Andrew Friedman do well? He finds low-cost talent, drafts productive players in the first round, and banks on strong run prevention to win games. Where does Friedman stumble? Generally when dealing with relatively big-money free agents. Wait, my computer keeps autocorrecting "Brian Sabean" to "Andrew Friedman." What a weird glitch.
Any card-carrying baseball fan can name four or five of Sabean's greatest follies. He employed Barry Bonds for 11 seasons and failed to win a title. When Sabean did win a World Series, he allowed sentimentalism to interfere with upgrading his team, thus hurting its chances of a repeat. He favors veterans over prospects and once admitted to signing (not very good) players in order to forfeit draft picks. Then there are the times he signed Barry Zito and Aaron Rowand to budget-busting deals that looked no better at the time than they do now.

With 81 games in the books, Ben looks at which players are most likely to outperform, or underperform, their first-half results.
According to most sources, the start of the season's second half is still more than a week away, but technically, it's already upon us. All but two teams have played at least half of the games on their schedules. That means that most players have already accrued about half of the counting stats they'll have at the end of the year, enough to give us some sense of whether their seasons are shaping up to be disappointments or successes.
Of course, some players have already left the bulk of their hitting behind them, while others are about to break out. Last season, Dan Uggla went into the All-Star break batting .185. After action resumed, he upped his average considerably, hitting .296 in the second half. Dexter Fowler played so poorly in the first half of 2011 that he was forced to spend a remedial month at Colorado Springs. After returning in mid-July, he hit .288/.381/.498, swatting all five of his homers and swiping 10 of his 12 stolen bases. On the other end of the spectrum, Jose Bautista hit 31 of his AL-leading 43 home runs before the break, and his teammate Adam Lind completely collapsed after June, following up a .300/.349/.515 first half with a .197/.233/.356 second-half showing.

Melky Cabrera is having a breakout season, and he is 27 years old. Those are just two unrelated facts about Melky Cabrera.
If All-Star voting ended today, two of the three starting outfielders for the National League would be repeat representatives. The leading vote-getter, Matt Kemp, made the team last season and went on to be runner-up in the NL MVP race. Behind Kemp is Carlos Beltran, who's been to six All-Star games.
But the player who recently displaced reigning MVP Ryan Braun to take over third place has never been an All-Star. He's never come close to winning any major awards or leading the league in any important statistical category. He's been a punch line and an afterthought, but before this season, he'd never been one of baseball's best players.

Gregor Blanco, Melky Cabrera, and Angel Pagan didn't go to San Francisco with flowers in their hair, but with their early play, everything is coming up roses.
It would be easy to call Gregor Blanco, Melky Cabrera, and Angel Pagan the "Three Amigos." For as much fun as that movie was, I prefer something a little more highbrow and suggest we borrow from Wim Wenders. They are compañeros.
Who saw these guys coming? All arrived in San Francisco at roughly the same time, and all have established an expected level of play that isn't particularly high. Here are their lines entering 2012:

The Reds might have finally found their solution in the leadoff spot.
The Thursday Takeaway
The 6-3 win over the Braves on Thursday gave the 25-19 Reds their first division lead of the season, as they pushed past the Cardinals, who lost a 10-9 nail-biter to the Phillies. Perhaps more significantly, though, the hole at the top of manager Dusty Baker's batting order is that much closer to being plugged.

Given their overturned offense, will the 2012 Giants be able to improve their won-loss record from 2011?
Not long ago, while discussing the anemic offense of last year's Mariners, we noted that 10 MLB teams scored fewer than four runs per game in 2011. Only two of those teams finished with a winning record. The San Francisco Giants represented the most extreme case; they won 86 games despite having the National League's worst offense.
That got me to thinking: How often has the team with the NL's worst offense finished with a winning record? The answer may come as a surprise.

The Keeper Reaper returns for the month of December!
Per the Wikipedia entry, author Ray Bradbury "has stated that the novel [Fahrenheit 451] is not about censorship, but a story about how television destroys interest in reading literature, which leads to a perception of knowledge as being composed of factoids, partial information devoid of context." In a world where the very notion of a "book" may soon go the way of the rotary phone and the "LP", can people really relate to "Hot Stove" anymore? When a well-known national media personality makes the mistake of tweeting that a team re-signed its own superstar shortstop, it's patently obvious that most analysis these days is of the microwave variety. But Keeper Reaper is back to provide more information, complete with context, and is the best protection against getting burned this winter in fantasy league preparation.

Driver Dies in Coto de Caza Crash
ORANGE (CNS) - A 22-year-old man was killed tonight when the car he was driving struck a curb, became airborne and crashed into a house before coming to rest atop a masonry wall in the unincorporated Coto de Caza area.
The crash happened around 7:40 p.m. near the intersection of Cherry Hill Drive and Vista Del Verde, said Capt. Steve Concialdi of the Orange County Fire Authority.
The victim, who was trapped, died inside the vehicle, where he remained two hours after the crash, Concialdi said.
A woman and her two young children were inside the house but were not injured.
