Hurting Dodgers lose on Giants' walk-off homer
Kershaw gets no-decision despite gem; Hanley hurts hamstring
SAN FRANCISCO -- The Dodgers' injury epidemic reclaimed shortstop Hanley Ramirez on Friday night, and the left-on-base epidemic continued, too, as they stranded 13 more and lost the series opener to the Giants on Buster Posey's walk-off homer leading off the bottom of the ninth, 2-1.
Ramirez was lost to a serious left hamstring pull suffered while thrown out going from first to third on an A.J. Ellis single in the sixth, three starts after returning from a thumb injury suffered at the same AT&T Park during the World Baseball Classic.
"I still feel like it's going to end OK," said besieged manager Don Mattingly. "It's not going to keep going like this. We can't lose guys at this rate or we'll be playing [with] the [Class A Great Lakes] Michigan team."
The Ramirez injury further decimated an already shorthanded roster, and not even Clayton Kershaw could overcome it, though he couldn't have done much more.
Activated after a bereavement leave for the death of his father, Kershaw lost his no-hitter on Marco Scutero's one-out triple in the sixth and lost his shutout on a Posey RBI double two batters later. Hunter Pence (1-for-28 against Kershaw) followed with a single to center, but Matt Kemp threw out Posey at the plate.
Kershaw allowed one run on three hits with five strikeouts and three walks in seven innings, making 104 pitches. He said he was able to maintain his normal between-starts regimen by working out with his high school team that was in the Texas playoffs.
He came into the game with the all-time lowest ERA against the Giants (1.28) and a 0.66 ERA at AT&T Park. He shut out the Giants on four hits Opening Day in a 4-0 win at Dodger Stadium.
But he settled for a no-decision and Posey won it for the Giants with a homer off a Ronald Belisario 3-2 sinker, even though Posey had been 0-for-6 with five strikeouts against Belisario coming in.
Even before Ramirez's injury, the Dodgers were playing with a short deck. First baseman Adrian Gonzalez was a late scratch with a stiff neck, joining second baseman Mark Ellis (quad) and Carl Crawford (hamstring) on the sidelines. Counting Chris Capuano (strained left calf) and Ted Lilly (strained rib-cage muscle), Ramirez makes five soft-tissue injuries in the last two weeks.
"It's amazing how many guys have been hurt, and our big guys," said Kershaw. "But we can't make excuses; Donnie says that. We just have to find guys to go up there that are healthy. It definitely is amazing how many we've had."
Crawford, however, pinch-hit for Kershaw with two out in the eighth and the go-ahead run on second base. Sure enough, he was required to leg out an infield single and did just that, beating the throw of shortstop Joaquin Arias with an awkward landing on first base, but appeared uninjured.
Mattingly said afterward that Crawford should have been safe anyway on catcher's interference, because his bat hit Posey's glove on the swing. But with runners on the corners, Jerry Hairston popped out.
The Dodgers had the leadoff hitter reach base in seven of the nine innings. They lost despite outhitting the Giants, 11-4, while also drawing seven walks, undermined in part by double-play grounders from Ramirez, Luis Cruz and Kemp.
As imperfect as all that was, Kershaw was perfect through three innings, walking Angel Pagan leading off the bottom of the fourth. Two outs later, with Pagan on third, Kershaw walked Posey intentionally and struck out Pence.
Kershaw, who homered against the Giants on Opening Day, finally took charge of the offense, too. He culminated a nine-pitch at-bat against Barry Zito leading off the fifth inning with a double down the left-field line. He was bunted to third by Hairston and, with the infield up, scored on Nick Punto's seeing-eye single off Arias' glove.
Andre Ethier kept Kershaw's no-hitter intact after a one-out walk to Andres Torres in the fifth. Ethier outran Brandon Belt's towering fly and hauled it in over his shoulder on the warning track in deep right-center for the second out.
Ramirez was injured after leading off the sixth inning with a walk. Ellis singled to right, and as Ramirez rounded second base and reached the shortstop position, he felt the first tug of the hamstring and his stride began to shorten, but he was determined to get to third. He felt it go a few strides later and slid awkwardly while being tagged out by third baseman Pablo Sandoval, popping up and grabbing the back of his left leg just above the knee.
He was helped back to the dugout by head athletic trainer Sue Falsone and bench coach Trey Hillman.
"Sounds like he got it pretty good," said Mattingly. "Usually when they get it pretty good, we went through it with Matt [Kemp] last year [he missed 51 games], we know what that ends up looking like. He won't be back in a couple of days."

"Evolution caught in the act" is the headline of an article in news@nature, 13 July 2006. A study of two species of Darwin's finches on one of the smaller Galapagos Islands has "provided the best description of a characteristic trait evolving in the wild." The study was reported in Science vol. 313, p224, 14 July 2006 by Princeton University biologists Peter and Rosemary Grant. They have studied the medium ground finch and the large ground finch on the island of Daphne Major. Both these finches eat seeds but the large ground finches find it easier to eat the large seeds of a low shrub named Tribulus cistoides (Tc) and they have thrived on the island since they first arrived in 1982. The medium ground finch can eat these large seeds but finds it easier to eat small seeds. In 2003 and 2004 there was a drought, and the supply of large Tc seeds was drastically reduced. The smaller birds could more easily eat small seeds, so they survived. In 2004 and 2005 the researchers noted the average size of medium ground finch beaks was smaller than before, and the birds were only eating the large seeds half as often as before.
Editorial Comment: Note well! No birds have actually evolved. They already had beaks of varying sizes and all that has happened is that some birds were already better equipped to cope with drought induced change in seed availability. The ones that weren't, i.e. those with big beaks, died out, while the small beaked birds survived. This is "survival of the fittest" or natural selection, but it is not evolution. The change in average beak size is the result of the larger beaked birds being removed from the statistics in the next generation. This is an ecological change, not an evolutionary one, But it shows how researchers call any change evolution-even when it isn't! (Ref. variation, ecology, elimination)

Hey All: I have a SU model that was given to me by another department. I added in the tall tower-like object we are planning to build. But when I change the Style, the upper 2/3 of the entire model disappear - it must have something to do with the Layers things are drawn on? The only way I've been able to make the upper 2/3 reappear is to close w/o saving.
Is there any way to adjust the Style but not have my work disappear from view?! It's not really an emergency, but I have a meeting tomorrow morning before which I'd like to get the Style looking better.
That's strange, Styles shouldn't have any effect on layers. Is the tower object on a separate layer? Also, when you say disappears, is it completely missing, or does it look like the viewport is being clipped?
are you sure it's not a clipping plane issue?
It could either be a section plane (view > uncheck section cuts) or the file has become too large for the graphics to be displayed and so SketchUp has this weird clipping that happens (try saving and quitting [and other unnecessary programs running in the background] then re-open it).
Without seeing the actual model or screenshots, I'd say it's probably a section plane issue. Styles control whether section planes are turned on or not in a view. If there is a section plane embedded in a component or group defining the tower, switching to a style which has section planes activated with cut off the top of the tower without cutting anything else. Note that by embedding section planes in groups/components, you can have multiple section planes cutting at the same time.
Clipping plane issues are seen more with view/zoom parameters when switching back and forth between perspective and parallel projection modes, and are more related to the size of the model in the coordinate space. That doesn't sound like what your problem is.
Ok, Johnathan Culp, we're on to something. When I CHECK Section Cuts, the same part of the model disappears as when I change the Style to anything new. When I uncheck it, the model looks normal.
So if I pick the Style I want, then uncheck Section Cut and Plane, it all comes back. Thank you!
maybe the lines were hidden somehow? "edit > unhide" maybe?
I would also look to see if you have any hidden geometry. Goto View>Hidden Geometry (make sure this is checked.
Can you simply use another style?
Strange, but no matter what I check or unchecl in View, when I go to Styles and click any Default Style the hidden stuff goes away. So if I set it on the Style I want, then uncheck Section Cut and Section Plane, all is well.
Thank you for your help everyone! I think I nailed the meeting, though I'm not sure if it was the renderings or that I was in agreement with the boss that makes me feel like it went well LOL!
Did you edit the style so that sections are turned off? In the Styles window, click the Edit tab, then the Modeling icon (the little blue box under the tab). You'll see a bunch of check boxes for section planes, hidden geometry, etc. Play around with those. When you get it the way you want, make sure you click on the style icon in the upper left corner (it will have a grey circular arrow superimposed on it). That will save your changes and update the style definition.

CINCINNATI (AP) -- Cincinnati's police chief wants to provide additional safety training to schools for responding to potential school shootings.
Chief James Craig said Thursday he plans to talk with the Cincinnati Public Schools superintendent about expanding training for administrators and teachers at all school levels.
District spokeswoman Janet Walsh says the 33,000-student district's principals are trained in emergency response and all schools have safety plans and drills. She says the district welcomes opportunities to collaborate with police and others on possible ways of extending that training.
State officials have said Ohio's police training academy also will train educators to deal with a shooter.
The plans follow last week's Connecticut massacre in which a gunman entered Sandy Hook Elementary School and fatally shot 20 students and six adults before killing himself.

HOUSTON - A school district increased security Friday because of a rumor about a threat of a mass shooting.
Humble Independent School District officials said there was a rumor posted on a personal blog that there would be a shooting at a gas station in Kingwood on Friday.
School district officials said the blog posting did not mention any schools, but officers decided to increase their presence at the district's 13 schools as a precaution.
The schools have also moved outdoor physical education classes inside.
"I'm not worried," one parent said. "It's just a rumor going around. Everyone's safe and we got out precautions take care of, so we're good."
School district officials stressed that the threat was not made against any Humble ISD campuses.
The New Caney ISD also has a campus near the Kingwood area, Kings Manor Elementary, 21111 Royal Crossing Drive, and has implemented similar measures there. A private school in the area, St. Martha's, took similar precautions.
The FBI is investigating the threat.
"We are not able to discuss any specific details of any ongoing investigations at this time. But we remain ever vigilant, and take each and every threat that is brought to our attention very seriously. We work very closely with our local, state, and other federal partners to mitigate any threats. At this time we are not in possession of any substantiated information which indicates anyone within our territory is in any danger at this time," a statement from the FBI read.

Clem Labine, the All-Star relief pitcher of the 1950s who helped bring the Brooklyn Dodgers four pennants and their only World Series championship, died yesterday in Vero Beach, Fla. He was 80.
The cause was a pair of strokes he sustained after being hospitalized with pneumonia, said Labine's wife, Barbara.
A right-hander with an outstanding sinker and curveball, familiar to fans at Ebbets Field for his distinctive crew cut, Labine was a late-inning presence on the teams whose members became known as the Boys of Summer.
He led the National League in saves in 1956 (with 19) and '57 (with 17) and he was an All-Star in both seasons. In 1955, he appeared in a National League-high 60 games, posting a 13-5 record with 11 saves, then beat the Yankees in relief in Game 4 of the World Series and saved Game 5. The Dodgers went on to win in seven games after having lost to the Yankees in the Series five times.
Pitching in the major leagues from 1950 to 1962, Labine started only 38 games in 513 appearances. But he made several memorable starts.
In the playoff for the 1951 pennant, he threw a six-hit complete game at the Polo Grounds in the Dodgers' 10-0 victory over the New York Giants in Game 2, a day before Bobby Thomson's pennant-winning home run off the Dodgers' Ralph Branca. In the 1956 World Series, Labine beat the Yankees, 1-0, on a seven-hitter in Game 6, pitching all 10 innings, a day after the Yankees' Don Larsen threw a perfect game.
''I always thought Clem would've had a great career as a starting pitcher,'' Labine's teammate Carl Erskine said yesterday in a statement. ''But he told me: 'I don't want to start. I liked the pressure of coming into the game with everything on the line.' ''
Clement Walter Labine was born Aug. 6, 1926, in Lincoln, R.I., and grew up in Woonsocket, the son of a weaver. He signed with the Dodgers in 1944 and began to flourish as a reliever in 1953, having mastered a sinker in the Venezuelan winter league.
Labine's sinker induced batters to pound balls into the dirt. ''They go to swing at it, and it drops on you, and you get the top of the ball,'' Labine told Peter Golenbock in ''Bums,'' an oral history of the Brooklyn Dodgers. ''So you're not going to hit a lot of line drives off of me, just a lot of ground balls.''
Labine remained with the Dodgers when they moved to Los Angeles in 1958 and pitched on their '59 World Series championship team. He was traded to the Detroit Tigers during the 1960 season, joined the Pittsburgh Pirates later that year and pitched in their World Series victory over the Yankees. He finished his career with the original Mets in 1962.
Pitching for 13 seasons, he had a career record of 77-56 with 96 saves.
After retiring from baseball, Labine, who lived in Cumberland, R.I., and Vero Beach, was an executive and designer for a men's sportswear company and a bank executive. In an interview with Roger Kahn for his book ''The Boys of Summer,'' Labine told of his family's travails after he left the game. His son, Clem Jr., known as Jay, enlisted in the Marines, then lost a leg when he stepped on a land mine in the Vietnam War.
In addition to his wife and his son, of Woonsocket, Labine is survived by his daughters Barbara Grubbs of Reno; Gail Ponanski and Kim Archambault of Smithfield, R.I.; the four children from his marriage to his first wife, also named Barbara, who died in 1976; his daughter Susan Gershkoff, of Lincoln, R.I, from his second marriage; five grandchildren; and a great-grandchild.
Through those summers of the 1950s, Labine was a confident figure, relieving pitching mainstays like Erskine, Don Newcombe, Preacher Roe and Johnny Podres.
''If you had a lead, there was this thing where about the seventh or eighth inning, where he'd get up, sort of a ritual, and walk down to the bullpen,'' the former Dodgerspitcher Roger Craig told Bob Cairns in ''Pen Men,'' an oral history of relief pitching. ''Clem was kind of a cocky, arrogant type, which was good. I liked it. He'd fold his glove up and put it in his pocket. I can see him now, strutting down to the bullpen and the fans cheering.''

A NURSE yelled 'if you cause a scene I'll .... floor you' at a patient in a busy hospital waiting area, a hearing was told.
Siobhan Wright lost her temper when the vulnerable woman struck her carer across the chest in A&E at Royal Blackburn Hospital.
Wright was employed by Calderstones NHS Foundation Trust, based in Whalley, East Lancs, caring for mental health patients.
The woman was taken to the hospital on February 27 last year because she had a swollen knee. But she became angry when a doctor told her they couldn't do anything about it.
Wright was called from Calderstones to assist with the woman but she started shouting at the patient in the waiting area.
Matthew East, a security guard who witnessed the incident, said the patient was completely calm by the time Wright arrived.
He said: "She just kept crying and apologising to the carer she had hit, she kept crying and saying she didn't mean to do it.
"The other two members of staff arrived, they picked her up under the arms and the patient said 'you don't need to restrain me'."
Wright said 'If you cause a scene I'll ... floor you' within earshot of people waiting to be treated, the hearing was told.
Mr East added: (Wright's comment) was said in an aggressive manner, there was clearly no need for it, especially in a waiting area.
"They pretty much walked into the cubicle, picked her up under the arms and started dragging her out."
Susan Wrathall, the Calderstones nurse who conducted and internal investigation, said that 'flooring' someone was not a technical term for any specialist restraint and added that the staff had a range of restraints they used on patients, but would always start by talking to them.
During the internal investigation, Wright denied she lost her temper with the patient.
Ms Wrathall said: "She was adamant that she hadn't said it, and she was given every chance to withdraw her denial."
She added that the patient had been very embarrassed and upset by the affair, and didn't report it until she was approached by the trust's management. Wright, who now works as a nurse in a care home for elderly people, was not present or represented at the hearing in London, but spoke to the panel over the phone.
She said she had denied the charges at first because she was scared.
She said: "The more I reflected on it, the more I knew that it wasn't right.
"I should have offered the patient choices rather than me deciding what that choice would be."
If her fitness to practice is found to be impaired by reason of her misconduct, she could be struck off.
The hearing continues.

So I am off to Las Vegas for a quick weekend. This is mostly a work trip with a bit of relaxation as the reward..
I figured I would dust off the blog so here I am!
Started my trip after an extended work day, and a fairly exhausting set of work days as the aftermath of Otakon… Flying United, in style riding in first class..
This plane is BRAND NEW, no entertaient systems or wifi.. The leather smells like a new car.
Anyhow, landing in Vegas around midnight thanks to delays. 16 hour day tomorrow. ONLY 103 degrees during the day. Eep.

In the most surprising and exciting piece of news in years, the Walt Disney company has bought Lucasfilm and is planning at least three new Star Wars films. While there is already a treatment in existence for the first one, and the company is still locking in the creative team and focus for a 2015 release, we thought we'd offer some fun suggestions based on the expanded universe…
Timothy Zahn's book trilogy first hit shelves in 1991, before the prequel films were more than a rumour on the wind. Set five years after the events of Return Of The Jedi, it finds Han and Leia expecting twins and Luke leading the rebuilt Jedi order. But Grand Admiral Thrawn, the Emperor's last surviving Warlord, has gathered the remnants of the Imperial Fleet and wants to take back the galaxy by force.
How It Might Work
Obviously, the presence of Luke and co means some potentially controversial re-casting of the main characters, unless performance capture is factored in, which is a big risk. But the novel trilogy offers a thrilling chance to see our heroes back in action and a compelling villain in Thrawn, long a fan favourite in the books and games.
Set further on from the events of the original trilogy, this series of interconnected novels finds the Galactic Alliance starting to splinter and trouble within the Jedi order caused by, of all people, Jacen Solo, Han and Leia's son. The young Jedi causes a rift with his uncle by suggesting that force (and not necessarily the Force) might be the way to deal with unhappy systems wanting to leave the union.
How It Might Work
This gives plenty of opportunity to cast younger actors and launch a story that would be a sprawling, layered tapestry able to support not just a new trilogy but other movies to boot. You could still bring in the original trio as their original characters, but keep them in supporting roles around a younger principal cast.
21 years after the second Death Star fell, the New Republic faces problems much like those in the Legacy books. But here the threat is not so much from within as without: the Yuuzhan Vong, a powerful alien race from outside the Galaxy, decides it wants a piece of prime Republic real estate. The Jedi must defend the Republic, and Jacen Solo is featured once again.
How It Might Work
As with the Legacy idea, the New Jedi Order makes use of underappreciated characters and an equally intriguing villain. It also allows for a shift from the usual rebels vs Empire ideas to something fresh and different – which could be the kick the series needs.
While most books either fill in nooks and crannies between the films or extrapolate what happens after Episode VI, graphic series Dawn chronicles the difficult early days of the Jedi Order, full of disputes, strife and sacrifice even before the two sides of the Force had coalesced. We follow several Jedi warriors who must deal with their own troubles as well as those of the galaxy at large, in a period long before the rise of the Empire.
How It Might Work
Separating the story from any need to feature cast members who have gone before makes for a real change, and who doesn't want to find out how the Jedi order fared in its early days? It wouldn't quite fit the "Episode VII" title, what with being an ancient prequel, but otherwise it could be very interesting.
This is one of the more unusual suggestions, since this story has technically been brought to life in a variety of formats: computer games, books, comics and more. But it's also set in a different era, filling in some of the time between Revenge Of The Sith and Star Wars. Our main villain is Galen Marek, AKA Starkiller, Darth Vader's secret apprentice who is dispatched to hunt down and destroy Jedi warriors.
How It Might Work
Though putting the story between the trilogies might dilute the narrative tension (we know he doesn't kill all the Jedi) and it also doesn't quite fit the "VII" numbering, it's still an interesting area to explore. Either that, or move the story to the post-Return of the Jedi era and have a dark new threat hunting our heroes.
More historical adventures, this time set approximately 4,000 years before any of the Star Wars films (so long after Dawn but long before everything else). The task in the first game is to take on the threat of a powerful Sith Lord with big plans to – you guessed it – take down the Jedi.
How It Might Work
Digging into the deeper history of the universe could only be a good thing, especially if it provides a chance to feature the earlier clashes between the Sith and the Jedi and the even deeper issue of corruption and slavery spreading throughout the galaxy. The sequel, The Sith Lords, offers even more story opportunity, as a rogue former Jedi has to rely on his wits to halt a Sith attack. Star Wars without the frills, anyone?
Another trip to the years immediately following the Battle Of Endor, this one goes full throttle with the OTT plotlines, having Emperor Palpatine's consciousness transferred to a cloned body and Luke agree to become his apprentice (under duress). Han, Chewie and the rest try to rescue him even as Palpatine creates massive new weapons and takes aim at various planets. Some things never change, eh?
How It Might Work
We'd probably ditch the cloned Palpatine thing (after all, he's not exactly a new threat). But Dark Empire is loaded with cinematic ideas, including Luke successfully crash landing a captured, Alliance-controlled Star Destroyer on Coruscant and Leia proving to be a total badass yet again by stopping the big threat. Oh, and Boba Fett's back! Hooray!
Wedge! Wedge gets to be the focus of a story. Michael A Stackpole's book – which kicks off the X-Wing series – is set after Jedi and finds our hero leading up a new squad of pilots and commandos to fight off remaining Imperial troublemakers and other enemies.
How It Might Work
Admittedly, Denis Lawson might not be called upon to step back into Wedge's uniform, but the idea of a top gun group of X-Wing pilots and troopers battling the remnants of the Empire is certainly one we'd watch. In fact, we'd watch a trilogy and a spin-off TV series featuring this lot, and then buy the action figures.
Introduced in Heir To The Empire and married to Luke during the Legacy Of The Force series, Mara Jade is tough, smart and interesting enough to deserve her own spin-off film. Hers is a compelling story, since she attempts to kill Luke in revenge for Palpatine and her conversion to the lighter side of the Force. Not only that, but she has a child with Luke and even (spoiler alert!) gets a tragic end when she learns Jacen Solo has become a Sith apprentice and tries to kill him. Bad move…
How It Might Work
Give Christina Hendricks a lightsaber. There may be a few other tiny details to work out, but that's the essential element.
First published in 2006, this comic book series shoved the clock forward to 125 years after the fall of the Empire. Featuring Luke's descendent Cade Skywalker, it finds a newly resurgent Sith (because you just can't keep a Bad Sith down) under the leadership of Darth Krayt.
How It Might Work
Another storyline that benefits from having no members of the original cast (though we could see Mark Hamill popping up in a cameo as Ghost Luke), it offers the chance to go far beyond the original Wars timeline and sprinkle new ideas in among the traditional battle between good and evil.
Almost ever since Revenge Of The Sith, Lucasfilm has been working on a live action Star Wars TV show that would be set between Sith and A New Hope, and would focus on the more peripheral characters of the franchise – yes, fanboys, characters like Boba Fett – and the underworld of the Star Wars universe, particularly Coruscant. It was intended to be "complex, dark and adult", but otherwise to fit the tone of the movies.
How It Might Work
The series was stalled by budgetary concerns, but perhaps the concept could be retooled for feature film use. With planned hour-long episodes and arcs running throughout, and with Game Of Thrones style character development, it might be amenable to trilogy-ification. Of course, since it's all under wraps it's hard to say how easy that would be, but it's an option. We would expect Disney to be looking hard at the possibility of a Star Wars TV show in any case, however, just as they have with S.H.I.E.L.D. so this might yet see the light of day in its original form.

I am trying to write a function that uses a while loop. The program must find the average, maximum and minimum of the numbers that the user inputs. Then I need to call the function from another module. I have managed to get the average to work, but I cannot use the max() and min() functions correctly it seems.
The error message I get is:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\Scott\workspace\woooo\herro.py", line 6, in <module>
total, average, smallest = maggiespizza.sla(n)
File "C:\Users\Scott\workspace\woooo\maggiespizza.py", line 15, in sla
smallest = min (x)
TypeError: 'int' object is not iterable
Here is my code:
- Code: Select all
def sla (n):
FIRST_N = n
total = 0
while n > 0:
x = int(input("Enter a value: "))
total += x
n = n - 1
average = total / FIRST_N
smallest = min (x)
return total, average, smallest
