Are you and your business aware of the revolution that the new field of network science has created?
For example, can you speak 'network science'? Have you put the discoveries of network science to use in your business and personal career? (The networks are already there -- always have been -- but they may not be recognized and leveraged the way they need to be!). Do you understand how to identify and leverage "the social capital of brokerage"?
Don't worry. Just click here for this week's Forbes, with its easy-to-grasp glossary, and some simple step-by-step principles to get you started.
Is your company trying to solve management issues by moving employees' workspaces around?
News in both The Wall Street Journal and Fast Company notes that companies and researchers have lately been moving workers around -- in order to diversify the job functions of the people who surround them, or even just to get employees to do more talking with their neighboring workers.
But wait. . . there's even bigger news than this.
The much-bigger news is this: Adding Network Analytics to this 'new' phenomenon of management-by-moving-employees-around will help you achieve much more: and that is, scientifically-proven results and bottom-line improvement.
Companies considering changing workspaces to boost productivity should first apply Network Analytics (and Activate Networks is the leader in this technology) to take stock of their existing -- but hitherto invisible -- organizational network. Only then will you, the manager, be able to develop the precise action steps that will reliably build the organizational network that your company needs.
Activate Networks' Vice President of Marketing Steve Wardell, will present a 3-hour interactive session on "The Art of Developing Your Go-to-Market Strategy" on Monday, November 18th, from 6 to 9 pm, as part the MIT Enterprise Forum of Cambridge series "Start Smart."
On November 9th Luke Matthews, Activate Networks' Senior Scientific Director, will speak at the annual conference of the Society for the Scientific Study of Religion (SSSR) in Boston, MA. He will discuss his findings that congregational lineages better predict religious violence than do the personal social networks of their leaders (Matthews et al. 2012).
"Most companies sabotage their own innovation processes without meaning to," writes Columbia Business School professor and innovation expert Rita McGrath in the Harvard Business Review Blog Network.
Spot any of her 5 "tell-tale signs" of this self-sabotage at your company?
We commonly think about "networking" outside of our organizations. We look for connections that can help advance our next opportunity, maybe a new partnership or job.
It's human nature to dislike change. Change is disruptive to the power structure, and it's also hard to get back in the groove.
So how do change agents succeed in making people change? How can you successfully lead change – from a modification in someone's job description. . . to a thorough-going corporate restructuring -- at your organization?
The latest issue of Harvard Business Review reveals "The Network Secrets of Great Change Agents."
After analyzing successful change at Britain's giant National Health Service -- among other seemingly change-resisting businesses and situations -- the authors discover 3 network 'secrets' that produce surprising and notable results. And, they point out, these secrets are applicable by any manager.
For starters – and this is where Activate Networks' Organizational Network Analysis (ONA) technology is key – you need to KNOW your company's informal network and how it's working. (As you're probably well aware, your company's informal network may not look anything like your org chart!)
The first secret it this: The 'centrality' of the change agent (you or the person you delegate) within this network is critical to producing the change. In other words, bring the most central people into your program and then work through them.
Secondly, as the HBR study demonstrates, network analysis of the 'shape' of your organization's social network lets you know exactly which of several specific strategies will produce the particular kind of change you need.
The third secret is that ONA identifies your champions, fence-sitters, and resisters -- further insights you need, and can directly apply by using different tactics for different kinds of people.
How can data-driven transformations advance the future of healthcare to better track the spread of disease, offer more affordable treatments, and improve patients' quality of care?
I had one of the best seats in the house at this year's Connected Insight Summit – behind the registration desk. From this perspective, I had the privilege of meeting leaders across industries and connecting them on common ground: the power of our real-world, social networks.
After two days exploring the latest advances in network science to solve today's toughest problems in business, life sciences and healthcare, 300 attendees walked away from Activate Networks' Connected Insight Summit with a revived perspective on Nicholas Christakis's keynote wisdom: "We are entering a massive, passive data revolution." The cutting-edge case studies presented throughout the Summit focused on this exciting challenge through a network lens, emphasizing how social network analysis (SNA) is powerfully impacting the future of entire industries.
During the Connected Insight Summit, over thirty industry innovators joined us from world-leading institutions – including Yale, Excel Medical Ventures, DocGraph and more – to present how they're leveraging social network analysis to discover key lessons within the enormous haystack of data at our fingertips today.

The Pyramid Cheops in Egypt is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still in existence.
Without the keystone, the whole arch would fall down. The keystone is the final block which locks all the stones together to act as one piece.
Measurements in the ancient world were based on the relationship between the different parts of the human body. The basic unit was the cubit – the distance between the elbow and fingertips. The average height of a man was four cubits. The width of one finger equals a digit. Four digits equal a palm (measured across below the fingers). Six palms equals a cubit.
In addition to people, other animals such as ants, beavers, squirrels, rabbits, and birds build homes.
The dome is a symbol of perfection and divinity.
Many church and cathedral floor plans are crosses to symbolize Christianity.
The Romans invented concrete. It was a mixture made of lime, sand, volcanic ash, and water.
A gargoyle, often a scary, carved figure, is a water spout from a building's roof gutter. Gargoyles are often found on Gothic churches and are sometimes used as decoration in modern architecture.
In Rome, the public baths had at least three different processes you went through to bathe. After you undressed, you went to the tepidarium, a room heated with warm air to make you sweat. Second you went to the caldarium, where you took a hot bath in a tub or basin. Finally you went to the frigidarium where you took a cold bath. There were separate baths for women and men.
A sphinx protects the entrance of a temple or pyramid. In Egypt, the sphinx was a statue with a man's head and a lion's body. The Greek sphinx had a female head and the body of a lion or dog with wings.
The Great Wall of China is over 1500 miles long and is the world's longest man-made structure. It was built more than 2300 years as a fortification against invaders.
A memorial arch, like the Arc de Triomphe (Arch of Triumph) in Paris, was built to commemorate the return of a victorious army. The troops would march through the arch during its triumphal parade. A memorial arch was first built by the Romans.

Results tagged ' A.J. Griffin '
Monday, August 27th: Robinson's Slam Leads Ports to Victory while Cats & Hounds Win and Bees Fall
A's Farmhand Of The Day
Sacramento River Cats 8
Colorado Springs Sky Sox 2
(WP – Griffin 4-2 / 3.07)
Farmhand Of The Game:
Pitcher A.J. Griffin
(5 IP / 1 ER / 3 K / Win)
Worth Noting: After struggling his first time out, A.J. Griffin looked much more impressive in his second rehab start for Sacramento on Monday, allowing just 1 run on 3 hits over 5 innings to earn the win, and it now seems likely that the right-hander will end up re-joining the A's rotation before the end of the week. In his first game with the River Cats, right-hander Jesse Chavez gave up just 1 run in 4 innings in relief to earn the save. Catcher Jason Jaramillo had 2 hits and drove in 3 runs, while second baseman Jemile Weeks doubled and drove in 2 runs in the win. In other news, the A's traded long-time Sacramento catcher Anthony Recker to the Cubs for 29-year-old catcher/first baseman Blake Lalli, who could be expected to be added to the River Cats roster soon.
Frisco RoughRiders 1
Midland RockHounds 2
(WP – Gil 1-0 / 0.00)
Farmhand Of The Game:
First Baseman Anthony Aliotti
(Double / RBI)
Worth Noting: With the game tied 1-1 in the bottom of the 13th inning, first baseman Anthony Aliotti doubled to drive in the game-winning run for the RockHounds on Monday night. Catcher David Freitas doubled in Midland's only other run of the game in the 4th. Starter Murphy Smith had a solid outing, allowing just 1 run on 4 hits over 6 innings of work, but it was infielder Leonardo Gil who picked up the win by pitching 1 perfect inning in relief.
Stockton Ports 8
Visalia Rawhide 3
(WP – Brown 6-10 / 5.01)
Farmhand Of The Game:
Outfielder Dusty Robinson
(Grand Slam)
Worth Noting: Outfielder Dusty Robinson clubbed a grand slam in the 1st inning to give the Ports a lead that would prove to be insurmountable on Monday. Starter Jacob Brown held Visalia to 3 runs while striking out 7 over 5 1/3 innings to earn his 6th win for the Ports.
Burlington Bees 0
Kane County Cougars 4
(LP – Granier 11-9 / 3.10)
Farmhand Of The Game:
Pitcher Drew Granier
Worth Noting: Starter Drew Granier had another solid outing, allowing 2 runs on just 3 hits while striking out 9 over 6 innings of work. But Burlington couldn't push a run across the plate on Monday, and the right-hander ended up taking his 9th loss for the Bees. Outfielder Bobby Crocker collected a pair of hits, and first baseman Max Muncy, outfielder Douglas Landaeta and catcher Nick Rickles all doubled in the loss.
Connecticut Tigers 7
Vermont Lake Monsters 4
(LP – Menna 0-9 / 5.08)
Farmhand Of The Game:
Second Baseman Chris Bostick
(2 Doubles / 3 RBIs / Stolen Base)
Worth Noting: Starter J.C. Menna had a rocky outing, allowing 5 runs and striking out 7 over 5 innings to take the loss, while second baseman Chris Bostick had a pair of doubles and drove in 3 runs for Vermont.
AZL D-backs 3
AZL Athletics 1
(LP – Bahramzadeh 1-2 / 7.30)
Farmhand Of The Game:
Pitcher Dakota Bacus
Worth Noting: The A's lineup collected only 4 hits on Monday, while starter Kayvon Bahramzadeh allowed 2 runs, 1 earned, and struck out 6 over 3 innings to take the loss. This year's 9th-round draft pick Dakota Bacus struck out 3 in 2 1/3 perfect innings of relief to lower his ERA to 1.20 in his first 30 innings of pro ball.

Exclusive: A's Super Scout Grady Fuson Talks Top Prospects with A's Farm
One of the most popular pieces we've featured here on A's Farm over the past few months was our profile of A's super scout (and Moneyball bad guy) Grady Fuson. He was the A's scouting director from 1995 until 2001, when he left the A's to become the assistant general manager of the Texas Rangers. Fuson returned to the A's about two and a half years ago and currently serves as the special assistant to the general manager.
Prior to the amateur draft in early-June, Fuson's duties primarily consist of scouting amateur prospects in preparation for the draft. But once the draft is complete, he begins a tour around the A's minor league system, checking in on teams from Sacramento to Midland and Stockton to Burlington.
We were fortunate enough to catch up with Fuson in Stockton about a week before the All-Star break, after he'd just visited Sacramento and had spent the better part of a week with Stockton as well. We took the opportunity to pick the brain of one of baseball's top talent evaluators and get the lowdown on some of the A's top hitting and pitching prospects, as well as some of the fresh new talent that's just entered the system via this year's draft. But we started out by taking a look at some of the guys at the top of the system at Sacramento…
AF: I know you've been out checking in on some of the minor league teams, and I guess your first stop was in Sacramento. I know Grant Green has been moving all over the field and playing a lot of different positions there lately – left, center, short, third, even second. So what's the current situation with him?
GF: Well, everybody's asked me a little bit about why is he here, why is he there. We're just trying to increase his versatility. A lot of kids, when they break in the big leagues, if you're not a bona-fide position guy, it's hard to break in and get at-bats if you don't have that versatility. Obviously, we moved him out to center and we know what that looks like now – we know he can play it a little to some degree. We've got a little bit of a third base issue still with Sizemore going down early. So now we're giving him some more time at third, and he's still playing a little short. And when that time comes when he's needed in the big leagues, when the powers that be want to give him a little look, at least Bob Melvin's got a little versatility to where he can play him, and then we'll see where the bat settles in in the big leagues.
AF: And how do you feel about his bat at this point?
GF: Well, I still feel strong that he's hitter-ish. He's going to be a hitter. How much power will really come out up there? I think he's going to be one of those guys where ballparks could play a role. If he plays in a place like Texas, he could probably hit some. If he plays in a place like Petco Park, he's probably not going to hit too many. But we've been working with him for a year and a half now about trying to make some adjustments on pitches middle to middle-in – just trying to change bat head positions so that he can pull more of those balls. He's been shooting those balls up the middle. If he's ever going to hit the ball out, those are the pitches he's got to get the head out and get it over the shorter parts of the ballpark. And he's made that adjustment.
AF: So the greater his versatility, the more opportunity there's going to be for him to get to the big leagues and then, once he's there's, the more opportunity there'll be for him to stay there.
GF: Exactly.
AF: Anybody else stand out in Sacramento?
GF: Everybody else there was about as expected. Michael Taylor is still very improved with his aggressiveness. He's just not getting the ball out much on the pull side of the field, but he's squaring it up and hitting it hard a lot. A.J. Griffin – you know he's dealing again tonight (in Oakland). Griffin's always good for me. I'm glad he got this opportunity. He's making the most of it right now.
AF: Give me your take on Griffin.
GF: I've always been a Griffin guy. I saw him in college. I thought I helped us get him in the draft a little bit. But he's big, he's physical. It's not an overpowering fastball, but I just always liked his ability to get down and away with his fastball, which to me is golden for a pitcher – a guy that can just locate his 4–seam fastball down and away. He's got a good changeup. He's got a good breaking ball. We've added a little cutter to his game that's helped. He's always been aggressive. He throws it down, and he's a strike-thrower. He's a competitor.
AF: What about another pitcher who's been looking great since he got to Sacramento, Dan Straily?
GF: Straily's awesome. He's been great. I'm proud of that kid.
AF: What's been the key to his success this year?
GF: I just think better command. But if you go back and look at his numbers, I think he was one or two in the California League last year in strikeouts. And he's come a long way with his changeup. He's always had a good breaking ball. He throws hard. He's a 90-94 mph guy. He's got a good arm. He's been great.
AF: One guy at Sacramento who's been struggling a bit is Brad Peacock. What's up with him?
GF: Brad's just having a hard time backing up quality pitches in the strike zone – executing. It has nothing to do with his stuff. He's still throwing 90-94 mph. He's got a good bite to his breaking ball when it's right. But he's just been scattered. (Minor league pitching coordinator) Gil Patterson was in there with him and we did some side work. We thought maybe he's got a little bit of an uphill move that's kind of wreaking havoc with him trying to get down the mound a little bit. He's leaving a lot of fastballs up and elevated. And the biggest thing is just his pitch count is not getting him very deep in the game right now.
AF: It seemed like he started out the season pretty well.
GF: Yeah, his first few starts were pretty solid. He's just in a rut right now, but he's young and he's got good enough stuff. He'll come out of it.
AF: Well, you've been here with the Stockton team for a while now. Can you tell me a little bit about the pitching staff here at Stockton?
GF: The pitching's been impressive. Blake Treinen, as good as his stuff is, I'm a little disappointed that his performance numbers aren't a little better. Something's missing – I'm not smart enough to tell you what it is, but something's not right. Jake Brown, even though he's a little bit of a soft-tossing left-hander, he knows how to pitch. He stays away from guys. He knows when to come in. He's got a real good changeup.
AF: What about Sean Murphy? He's been looking really good both at Burlington and here at Stockton this year.
GF: He's by far one of the most improved young pitchers we've got in the system. I patted him on the ass after the game and told him, "Do you know how much better you are than you were a year ago?" He's really cleaned his whole mental game up. He's just taking things more seriously. He's gotten focused. He's pounding his down-and-away fastball. He's always had a good changeup. He's getting his breaking ball over in the strike zone.
AF: Well, he's had a big change from last year. Batters were hitting over .300 against him last season, and this season they've been hitting around .200 against him – that's a big difference!
GF: You know, he's growing up. He's turning into a pro. I mean, this kid a year ago was from a dinky little school. I remember talking to him last year in Burlington, and he goes "I've never been coached." And he was like a little kid, an amateur. And this year, this guy's turning into a man. I could see it coming in spring training too. He started to get super serious about his sides. He got his body in great shape. He's doing good.
AF: When I talked to him earlier about what accounted for his success this year, he seemed to say it was primarily just about focus and commitment.
GF: It's nice to see, because that's what you're looking for. Hey, this guy wants it, and this guy doesn't. Some of them don't know how to want it. But that's our job to just keep pounding it into them.
AF: Have you had a chance to see much of left-hander Ian Krol yet?
GF: I'm actually going to miss him – they set him back a day. But I've been with him on two of his sides. You know, it's all about his finish – just staying on line and being directed. He wants to cut his finish off and spin out, and he loses his line of command. And when you do those things, there's usually not a lot of good things that are going to happen. The two sides I've been here, we've been working with him a lot on that.
AF: What about Blake Hassebrock who was great at Burlington last year but has been struggling a bit since coming back off the disabled list here?
GF: I don't think he's going any more than three innings tonight. He's definitely a prospect. He's big, he's physical. He throws it downhill and he throws it hard. It's all the secondary things. We're trying to get him to use the cutter a little bit more than the slider, because his slider's never been a great slider.
AF: T.J. Walz got off to a good start here, but then he was moved out of the rotation and into the bullpen. What was behind that?
GF: It's not that we're walking away from him as a starter forever. He's just had this history that he told us about – when he starts a lot, his arm starts barking. And for some reason, his arm never barks when he throws out of the pen. He's a guy who we had to watch his innings this year anyway because of his college pitch count and things like that. But he's still throwing good.
AF: Another guy who started the year here at Stockton was A.J. Cole. He really struggled here, but he's been pitching great since he was sent down to Burlington. I guess you really haven't had a chance to see him since the spring though, right?
GF: No, I've seen a lot of him on video though. When he was going through these issues when he was here, I happened to be in Arizona one day, where me and (director of player development) Keith Lieppman got all the video we could get and we got on the phone with Gil Patterson. Gil had video and we were breaking things apart a little bit. He was dong some things that were different than when he was with Washington. And so Gil got on those and came in here and tried to settle some things down and get things back to where they needed to be. I don't know if it's the change to a different league, but it shouldn't be that big a discrepancy. It was more location and sequences – it wasn't stuff. The guys who saw him pitch here said it was 93-95 mph. The one thing that we were looking at was to see if his arm was on time with his foot stride. We looked at the timing and his arm was late and just missing.
AF: Well, sending him to Burlington certainly seemed to be the answer.
GF: Sometimes that in itself is the answer – a little wake-up call.
AF: I know you probably haven't seen him since the spring, but what's your take on Sonny Gray?
GF: I think he's just struggling with his overall command. He's working on it. I think he's starting to understand what few concerns we had about him – those are the things that come and go.
AF: The last I heard, the big thing he was working on was the changeup.
GF: The changeup, and his direction and the way he lands – helping him stay on line to help him with his command. Those are the two big things.
AF: Is there anyone on the offensive side of things who's been opening your eyes since you've been here in Stockton?
GF: Yeah, number one, it's really good to see Max Stassi on the field everyday. And when he's on the field everyday, you can see what he's got a chance to do. He's a really polished receiver. His arm's working and feeling great right now. He's throwing well. He's hitting balls to all fields. He's working on his pitch selection. He's a nice-looking player. This is B.A. Vollmuth's first time here. He's still getting used to it a little bit, but doing about what's expected from him – squaring a lot of balls up, playing solid at third. Yordy Cabrera's a young kid – you know, things come and go with Yordy. Last night, he swings at a first pitch slider that's five feet out of the strike zone, and you're kind of going, "Oh my God!" And then two at-bats in a row were solid – he squared one up to the biggest part of the ballpark and thought he got his first homer. In San Jose (earlier in the week), his footwork was better. Last night, he sat back on groundballs and groundballs ate him up. That comes and goes with young kids. But the reality is that night after night, even though his numbers don't look like it, I think he's holding his own.
AF: Speaking of some of these very young prospects, what's up with Aaron Shipman at Burlington?
GF: I'm heading there. I haven't seen Shipman since I left spring training. Obviously he's having a rough go just with contact. He's down in the low .200s again. At one time, he got it up in the .250s. He's back to doing some swinging and missing. But we'll see.
AF: What about another guy here at Stockton who came up from Burlington earlier in the year and has been playing well, and that's outfielder Dusty Robinson?
GF: Dusty's a guy who plays the game with his hair on fire. He's got some good skills. Dusty can throw, Dusty can run, and Dusty can flat square up a ball at times that makes your jaw drop at how hard he can hit it. It's a non-stop work in progress about how he handles pitches on the outer half. Sometimes he looks good, and sometimes he looks like he's never seen one. But he's doing good. He's second in our whole organization in homers.
AF: I know you haven't seen Michael Choice at Midland yet, but is there anything you can offer on his situation this year?
GF: I think he's still fighting his day-to-day approach – it comes and goes. There's no regression in his tools and his ability. He's got a very unique set up and approach, and when he's not on time, there's issues depending on how a guy can pitch him. You know, that's the biggest jump you make in this game, besides the big leagues. Getting out of all the A-ball stuff – whether it's rookie ball, High-A, Low-A – Double-A is where the true pro game really starts. The athletes who can't hit, they're still in A-ball. The pitchers who throw hard but can't throw it over or don't have some type of off-speed, they're still in A-ball. So what you've got at Double-A is you've got the first collection of some ability with understanding performance. And so there's more pitchers up there who know how to change speeds, really locate more.
AF: Guys who know how to fool you and know how to exploit your weaknesses…
GF: Exactly. And the pitching in Triple-A – there's so many veteran AAAA-type guys. They're usually older, they're not as crisp as they used to be, so they pitch ass backwards at AAA – cutter, cutter, cutter, backdoor breaking ball. There's not a lot of velocity, a lot of hard fastballs, coming at you night after night, unless you've got some young kid on their way up. Everybody else is some 30-year-old guy – they trick you. So that becomes a lesson on hitting off-speed. Then when kids first go to the big leagues, they forget how to hit a fastball.
AF: Speaking of guys who are trying to make that transition to Double-A, have you had a chance to see Miles Head at any point?
GF: Yeah, in spring training. But you know, what a half! I don't know that I've seen a guy have that kind of half. And if you talk to these guys here (in Stockton), they've never been around a guy that hot. They just said nobody could get him out. There were never more than two or three at-bats that went by without him crushing one. You know, another guy I've always liked since the day we signed him is Chad Oberacker. He's got the simplest approach of anybody here. And he just squares it up every at bat. He's playing a very good center field. He's a plus runner. He's a nice-looking kid.
AF: He's even hit a few homers this year. I don't think he'd shown much power before.
GF: He's got 6 this year, but one of them was an inside-the-parker.
AF: What about Josh Whitaker who hit three home runs in a game here one night?
GF: He's been playing great. His body's in great shape. You can see more life out of his body every year. He's getting tighter and stronger. This kid's putting himself on the map. He runs, he throws, he's a better defender, and he's a threat to hit it out.
AF: Well, he had a good year at Burlington last year, but I guess the thing with him is there's always a lot of strikeouts.
GF: That's the one thing we tried to set our eye on in the draft. We put more of an emphasis on making that hitting skill a little purer than we've had in the past – making that the number one thing, because as an organization the last couple of years, we have had a lot of swing-and-missers. We had 7 guys in Stockton who struck out 100 times last year – Aliotti, Gilmartin, Coleman, Gil, Dixon, Choice and LeVier.
AF: Well I know when I talked to scouting director Eric Kubota after the draft, it seemed like he kept saying about everyone you drafted, "We really like the way this guy handles the bat."
GF: Well, that was a little bit of the change in direction you could see in the draft. Getting high school versus college wasn't by design, but getting hitters, hitters first, was.
AF: Was there anyone in this year's draft you scouted who you were particularly high on?
GF: Yeah, all of them! The only guy I didn't see up high was Matt Olson, but Addison Russell, Daniel Robertson, all those guys.
AF: Was there anybody you were maybe a little higher on than other people?
GF: Yeah, maybe Robertson. I don't know if I was higher, but higher than a couple. We took him where I'd like to take him. I love B.J. Boyd, the Bay Area kid. This guy's crude – he may run to the wrong dugout – but let me tell you, he's got some kind of life in his hands, some kind of life in his legs. He's electric.
AF: So, I guess it's just going to be a matter of refining him then.
GF: Oh yeah, it's going to be fun – but what a project! This is what young Carl Crawfords look like when they're 18!
AF: Well, that's always a good thing to hear! Thanks a lot for taking the time to clue us in!

Catching Up With: The Sacramento River Cats
The A's triple-A affiliate Sacramento River Cats have a long history of winning – and this season has been no exception. The team currently boasts the best record in the 16-team Pacific Coast League, and has gotten great performances from many members of the starting rotation like Graham Godfrey, Tyson Ross, A.J. Griffin, Dan Straily, Bruce Billings and even, earlier in the year before his struggles, Brad Peacock. And when we visited Sacramento about a week before the All-Star Break, we took the opportunity to talk with the newest member of the River Cats' rotation, right-hander Dan Straily, as well as the team's pitching coach, Scott Emerson.
We also had the chance to talk to one of the staples of the Sacramento lineup who always garners a great deal of interest amongst A's fans, former 1st-round draft pick Grant Green. The former shortstop, whom the organization converted to an outfielder midway through last season, has recently been playing all over the diamond. The 24-year-old has put in time this season in left field and center field, as well as at shortstop, third base and second base. And after working on his approach at the plate, the right-handed swinger's power numbers are up a bit this year and his strikeouts are down, and he could very well be angling for a spot with the 2013 A's.
So be sure to check out our chat with top hitting prospect Grant Green, followed by our conversations with River Cats' starting pitcher Dan Straily and Sacramento pitching coach Scott Emerson, and get the inside scoop on the 2012 Sacramento River Cats…
Sacramento River Cats
AF: Well you started out the year playing strictly in the outfield, but you've been playing a lot of different positions lately – short, third, second. So how has it been adapting to all these new positions and playing a different position everyday?
GG: It's fun. It's something new every single day – walking into the clubhouse and checking the lineup to see where I'm playing. It's kind of fun and interesting to see where I'm playing. Certain days it's a little bit less stressful to know I'm playing in left. But tomorrow I could be playing second – something different, something new.
AF: So it's been an enjoyable challenge for you rather than something difficult?
GG: Yeah.
AF: Do you have any preferences in terms of where you'd ideally like to play?
GG: Short, of course – that's what I'm most comfortable with. After that, I like playing second – something I just started doing this year. I've only played 1 or 2 games there. But if I could stay in the middle of the diamond on the infield, I would love to. I've gotten more used to playing left.
AF: It sounds like you'd prefer to be where the action is.
GG: Exactly.
AF: What about this year at the plate for you – your power numbers were down last year, but they've been up a bit this year – is there anything you've been doing differently?
GG: Yeah, we've really worked on getting more quality ABs – kind of seeing a little bit more pitches than usual – still being aggressive, but aggressive inside the zone instead of just being aggressive in general. And then last fall I really worked on widening my stance and getting a little bit of a load. It also helps that we're not playing in Texas League parks. There are a lot of graveyards and the wind blowing the ball foul.
AF: Have most of your home runs been off any particular type of pitch?
GG: I've had a couple that were hanging sliders, a couple fastballs in, a couple fastballs down the middle. So it's been a little bit of an array of pitches.
AF: And where have most of your home runs gone out this season?
GG: Either in left-center or left. I think I maybe have one to center, if that.
AF: Your strikeouts have been down a little this year. Is there any particular reason for that?
GG: Just the overall approach. There was a little stretch at the beginning of the year where I was striking out a little bit too much and being a little bit too aggressive – just in general, swinging at bad pitches. And we really worked on quality ABs and quality pitches. And if I strike out looking on a borderline pitch, it's better than swinging at a ball.
AF: Is there anything in particular that you're really working on right now?
GG: Yeah, mostly the defensive side – coming back to the infield, trying to get back to that first step coming in, unlike the outfield. Just trying to get back to doing that and trying to cut distance and trying to save the arm a little bit when it comes to the infield.
AF: So are you practicing at different positions every day?
GG: It depends. If I'm playing the infield, then I'll take all BP at that. And if I'm playing the outfield, I'll take one round there and usually one round at short and just practice cutting the distance.
AF: I know you're originally from Orange County, so do you spend most of the off-season in southern California?
GG: Yeah, I have a house in Corona. It's about 10 minutes from where I grew up. So I spend my time there, travel a little bit, and try and go to the beach as much as possible.
AF: Well you've now played in the California League, the Texas League and the Pacific Coast League. So in all your travels, is there any place you'd rather never see again?
GG: Probably Bakersfield. The whole situation there was just a grind. The field wasn't very nice – the infield was terrible actually. The clubhouse was old. That's one place I'd never go back to.
AF: That's funny, you're not the only one I've heard say that.
GG: I bet!
AF: Thanks, Grant.
Sacramento River Cats
Starting Pitcher
AF: Well, you got off to a good start this year at Midland and now you've been doing great here at Sacramento too. So what's been the key to your success this year?
DS: Just throwing strikes down in the zone. Last year in Stockton, I spent a lot of time working on that because of how the ball sails in that league. That's really been the key to success this year – just being able to keep the ball down.
AF: You've always been a bit of a strikeout pitcher, but even more so now. You're leading the entire A's minor league system in strikeouts this year. So is there any particular reason for that?
DS: It's just kind of happened. I'm not pitching all that differently. I've just had a few games with a lot of strikeouts. I've had some 10+ strikeout nights and a bunch of 7-8-9 nights. It's not like I'm trying to strike everyone out. It's just kind of the way things are working out. My goal pretty much every night is to go out there and go 7-8 innings. And sometimes that's 7-8 innings with a bunch of strikeouts and sometimes it's 7-8 innings with just a handful of strikeouts. But I'm not necessarily trying to strike people out.
AF: So, you're not trying to be Nolan Ryan.
DS: Exactly.
AF: Coming from the Texas League to the Pacific Coast League, which is considered to be more of a hitters' league, have there been any adjustments you've had to make?
DS: Not so far. It's just kind of nice that the wind's not blowing out at least here. It's seems like in most of the Texas League stadiums, the wind's blowing out. But I haven't really been here long enough to be forced to make any adjustments. I've just been pitching the way I've been pitching.
AF: So how have you liked playing in Sacramento so far?
DS: So far it's been awesome. Last night coming in here with a packed stadium – and a packed stadium most places is a few thousand less than it is here. I got to pitch here last week. And you don't normally notice when you're playing how many people are there, but when you're done, you tend to notice those things. It's a lot of fun. I just like the atmosphere here.
AF: Have you been following your former teammate A.J. Griffin's progress this year?
DS: Absolutely. He was my roommate in Texas when we were down there. I texted him the other night and told him congratulations and stuff and talked to him a little bit today. It's awesome. He's my first friend I've seen come up and be in the show now. So that's just awesome.
AF: Well, that must give you a real sense of just how close it can be.
DS: They keep telling us, you're just one phone call away. And he definitely proved that. We were down in Vegas one day and just all of a sudden A.J. walked in just beaming with this big old smile and he came in and told us. And I couldn't be more proud of him.
AF: Well, good luck!
Sacramento River Cats
Pitching Coach
AF: Well, Dan Straily came up here last month, and he's been looking as good as he did at Midland. Tell me what you like about him.
SE: Well, I like his delivery. When you have a repeatable delivery like he does, it makes it a lot easier to throw all four of your pitches. He's got four major league pitches, and he's just got to go out there and face better hitters here in Triple-A and show us what he can do.
AF: Tell me about his repertoire.
SE: Well, he's got a sinking fastball that goes to the arm side with good downhill plane to his mechanics. He's got a good top-to-bottom curveball. He's got a good late slider that at times looks like a cut fastball. And he's got an excellent changeup that at times will look like a loose split-finger where the ball will actually fall off the table. So he's a lot of fun to watch.
AF: What's been his big strikeout pitch?
SE: More of his breaking ball. But the ability to spot his fastball to both sides of the plate sets up his breaking ball. Everything works off the fastball. When he throws it to both sides and then he's able to throw that breaking ball, he's getting them to chase it.
AF: Another guy you had here for a while this year was A.J. Griffin. And so far he's been doing as well in Oakland as he was here.
SE: Well A.J. is a strike-throwing machine. And he works at the bottom of the strike zone. He works quick. He's got an excellent changeup. Anytime that you can disrupt the timing of hitters, it's always a plus. But again, everything comes off that good fastball command. He really commands the fastball down and away. He has the ability to throw his changeup behind in counts, so he's always back in the count. If he falls behind in the count, he can throw that changeup in a fastball situation and either get hitters swinging or have them put the ball in play. And he's developed a cutter over the course of the season this year – sometimes it looks like a slider – but to right-hander hitters, he got a lot of groundballs with it.
AF: After having him here for a while this year, did you feel confident about his ability to succeed at the major league level?
SE: Yeah, he holds runners well. That's one of the questions you always get – does he hold runners? He plays good defense, he has the ability to throw his changeup behind in the count, and he spots his fastball. If you can do those things, you're pretty much going to have some success in the big leagues.
AF: Another one of your starters here this year is Bruce Billings. He was pitching really well early on, then he was on the disabled list for a while, and now he's been coming back. Tell me a little bit about him.
SE: Bruce has got real good command. He throws the ball at the bottom of the zone with movement. Anytime you can throw balls at the bottom of the zone with movement, you're going to have a lot of success. He didn't really have his sinker last season. But coming here this year, he started the year throwing that sinker at the bottom of the zone and getting some groundballs. He's got a good late slider. Anytime you can do that and have good life at the bottom of the zone and get groundouts, you're going to pitch good.
AF: Now what about Brad Peacock? He's really been struggling of late and seems to have hit a bump in the road. So what's up with him?
SE: Well, he's got great stuff. There's no doubt his pitch mix is very good. He's struggling a little bit with his fastball command. And once the fastball command comes back and comes around, the sky's the limit for this guy. His weapons are just that good. He's got a hard late curveball, and a very good changeup with good arm speed, and then the changeup just dies. So we're just looking for him to get that fastball command back. And you know, sometimes you put some pressure on yourself. You get traded for a guy like Gio Gonzalez and you run into a couple of rough games – he's just got to know that we've got a lot of confidence in him – you've just got to go out there and have fun and pitch your game.
AF: Thanks, Scott – that's really informative.

Why Must Some Juices Be Refrigerated and Others Not?
Comments (0) ::
Type Comment
Refrigeration has long been used to keep microbes from making food hazardous. It slows the growth of potentially deadly pathogens. The fridge also retards deterioration of the flavor, color, and texture of many foods.
The vast majority of fruit and vegetable juices sold in the market are pasteurized to kill potentially harmful bacteria during the manufacturing process.
Juice processors who don't pasteurize their products now must take other germ-killing steps such as an ultraviolet light treatment or specially treating peels before squeezing citrus fruit for juice.
Consumers should look for the words "Keep Refrigerated" or "Refrigerate After Opening" on juice labels to know whether the product should be refrigerated.
Some juices are not refrigerated because refrigeration causes loss of taste in some juices.

There is a question that has been nagging me for years: why do we keep in our pockets both paper money (banknotes or bills) and metallic coins? It wouldn't be difficult to write higher numbers on coins just a little bit larger than the ones we use today.
Personally, I think even attempting to call a top on this character of an equity market is an exercise in the self-infliction of pain for now. It has been a long time since I've seen this type of speculation, but it's been never since I've seen this type of monetary largesse.

Jeff/GRC won its second straight 11-12-year-old baseball District 5 Tournament championship and its third in six years with a 12-3 win over host New Albany at Mt. Tabor Park on Tuesday.
"This is a huge deal for us," Jeff/GRC manager Chuck Latham said. "Mentally, these kids have far exceeded my expectations. Mentally, they're just tough."
Jeff advances to the state finals at Fort Wayne Don Ayers Little League, beginning Saturday against the District 11 champions from South Bend. It's the first of potentially six games in six days in search of the program's second Major League division state championship in six years.
"These kids have a bigger picture in mind," Latham said.
On Tuesday, Jeff scored its 12 runs on 11 hits and was relentless against New Albany pitching throughout the night. Drew Taylor and Brady Latham each homered and Dylan Robinson hit a two-RBI double in the victory.
"Our two-strike hitting was phenomenal," Chuck Latham said.
Jeffersonville's All-Stars completed district play unbeaten at 6-0 and won its two elimination games by a combined score of 22-3.
Jeff took an early 2-0 lead in the first inning when it took advantage of two hit batters and a throwing error. Brady Latham opened the frame with a double and scored when New Albany threw away a Luke Stock groundball. With runners on first and second base, New Albany starting pitcher Nolan Keeler hit Jeff pitcher Ethan English with a pitch, then walked Jack Ellis to drive home Jeff's second run.
New Albany answered in the bottom of the first when Cody Medley hit a two-run opposite-field home run off of English over the right-field fence to knot the contest at two.
GRC scored two more runs in the second. This time it was Taylor who hit a two-run blast. Taylor's shot over the center-field fence brought home Drew Fifer, who had reached on an infield single off the glove of Keeler.
The scoring continued in the New Albany half of the second when Keeler hit a one-out single and scored on a fielder's choice — a near double play that would have ended the inning — off the bat of Dylan Clark.
However, English struck out New Albany's Kevin Smith to get out of a jam and keep the score 4-3.
Jeff added a single run to make it 5-3 in the third when pinch-hitter Turon Mitchell singled with one out and scored on a Brady Latham single with two outs. Keeler got Taylor to ground out with runners on first and second to get out of another tough spot.
After serving up the first scoreless half-inning in the bottom of the third, English hit a one-out double to get Jeff going in the fourth. English scored when a Robinson fly ball was misplayed in center field. English slid around a Clark tag at home plate to make it 6-3.
Two more Jeff runs came home on a fielding error off the bat of Joe LaGrange. A wild pitch and a Luke Thompson groundout against New Albany reliever Carson Gentry plated LaGrange and it was 9-3 Jeff in the middle of the fourth inning.
After English shut down New Albany again in the fourth, Brady Latham hit an opposite-field home run that easily cleared the right-field fence for his third hit, his second RBI and his second run of the game.
With the bases loaded and one out in the fifth, Robinson hit a two-RBI double that scored Mitchell and English to make it 12-3.
It was a New Albany team known for memorable comebacks in 2013, but Taylor would have none of it. After replacing English at the start of the fifth, Taylor retired the six of the eight batters he faced over the final two innings to preserve the championship. He struck out two.
Latham finished 3-for-4 with two RBIs, two runs and English reached base four times, scoring twice, for Jeff/GRC. Taylor went 2-for-4 and scored a pair of runs and Robinson drove in three for the victors.
Cooper Biven went 2-for-2 with a pair of singles, a pair of walks and a run. Keeler also had a pair of singles and scored a run for New Albany, which finished with seven hits.
At Mt. Tabor Park, New Albany
Jeff/GRC 221 430—12 13 1
New Albany 210 000— 3 7 2
W — Ethan English. L — Nolan Keeler. 2B — Brady Latham (J), English (J), Dylan Robinson (J). HR — Drew Taylor (J), Latham (J), Cody Medley (N).
Records — Jeff/GRC 6-0, New Albany 3-3.

The Nets won their fourth straight game Saturday in Orlando, their 24th victory over all, adding another notch to their loft-size growth chart and putting them two victories off the total of last season's stunted team.
As much as the Nets showed their grit again by storming back from a briefly lost lead in the fourth quarter, their 91-85 victory marked a significant night in the development of their second-year forward, Kenyon Martin.
For eight days, Martin had been much maligned, defended and discussed after his fierce foul on Tracy McGrady. The flagrant foul prompted McGrady, the Orlando Magic's All-Star guard, to charge Martin, who in turn responded by throwing a punch.
The reunion Saturday night had all the smoking intensity of dry ice. McGrady set the chilly atmosphere at tip-off in his own building when he blatantly walked past an expectant Martin at the center circle, knocking fists with the other Nets.
''No, I touched him, I touched his leg,'' McGrady insisted afterward with a thin smile.

Can a relationship survive cheating?
Can a relationship survive cheating?
How can a relationship survive cheating?. This is a question that many assume has been asked since the beginning of time. However biology suggests men have a need to spread their seed, and women have a need to have babies. So which side do we take? Blow off cheating as a biological need? Become hurt and angry? As humans I believe that we know what we are doing, and biology is not going to be a good enough excuse. I also believe as humans we can forgive, forget, and move on toward bettering our relationships.
Let us begin by looking at some statistics:
30% to 60% of all married persons will partake in cheating at some point during their marriage. (Based on United States marriages)

After all that is why you came here in the first place. You are not ready to give up on your relationship, and just need some affair advice.
Another Statistic:
78% of the marriages in the United States need help getting past the affair but ultimately forgive infidelity and save marriage from divorce.
You will find there are a few signs to answering can a relationship survive cheating:
1. Does the cheater cut all ties to the other man/woman?
2. Dealing with adultery head on. They are discussing all the details of the affair.
3. Regret and a very deep remorse is shown by him/her.
While this is just a rough outline it can show you some signs that forgiveness after an affair is possible.
There are many things that you will still have to work on. Remember statistically you have a 78% chance of salvaging your relationship with your partner.
The range of emotions is even more great than the questions that you have:

The Neshannock Township supervisors Tuesday forwarded 13 zoning map changes to the township and Lawrence County planning commissions.
The proposed changes, the supervisors said, correct past mistakes that had been part of the existing zoning map and reflect the way land is being used.
Most of the changes are along Wilmington Road/Route 18 and create a C-2 highway commercial zone.
Supervisor Joe Gierlach, who in the past has said the map contained "inconsistencies up and down Route 18," Tuesday made the motion to forward the proposed map.
He said changes were proposed by residents and businesses and that RAR Engineering has worked on the map since November.
Gierlach noted he does not agree with all the proposed changes, but said the professionals of the county and township planning commissions should now review and comment on the changes.
The Neshannock Township planning commission meets at 7 p.m. Monday, when it will review the proposed changes.
Two township residents, Harold Velie and Gordon Mooney, both of Eldogor Lane, raised concerns about one proposed change that would expand the parking lot at the Mayzon Health Center, a four-story building behind the Noble House Medical Clinic at 3128 Wilmington Road.
The men asked about the border of the zoning change and water runoff controls.
Mooney said the township already has "considerable acreage, already commercially zoned and better situated." He noted flatter property exists north of Mitchell Road, which would be less intrusive to R-1 residential neighborhoods. One property on the list, at 3020 Wilmington Road, was rezoned for commercial use in January by the supervisors.
Landsman Development Corp. of Rochester, N.Y., doing business as Community Practice Development II, plans to create a medical care facility. The site had been a combination of commercial and R-1 residential. The supervisors approved changing it to C-2 highway commercial.
The partners plan to construct a two-story 80-bed skilled nursing facility and in-patient rehab center on about 19 acres.
The supervisors also approved a 12-month contract with Total Energy Resources of Cranberry Township, a subsidiary of First Energy Solutions.
The move will save taxpayers about $21,000, said Gierlach, who researched rates of three electricity providers.
The contract will run from July through July 2014.

I'd like to see some research about Irish immigrant's work in DC building the Capitol and the C&O canal. I recall they labored under the Italian stone masons. They arrrived during the potato famine to work on building the canal. A stipend for alcohol was a condition of their labor agreement, but wasn't always available.
I did find this article on Irish Americans in Congress – http://uschs.wordpress.com/2012/03/16/irish-americans-in-the-u-s-congress/
Here's a good history of Capitol Hill – http://www.capitolhillhistory.org/library/01/overbeck_01.html for your reference. (unrelated to your post)

Part 12
"Wonderful guys, take a five minute break."
Rishabh turned in the bed and faced Madhu.
"We've got five minutes," he winked.
Madhu blushed as she hit his arm and got off the bed.
She went to walk towards her dressing room when she saw Karan eyeing her.
Karan gestured for her to go to him.
"Yes Karan?" Madhu asked as she reached Karan.
"I need to talk to you."
"What about him?"
"Are you two official now?"
Madhu turned her gaze away from Karan's as she wondered how to answer him.
"I'll take that as a yes," Karan spoke harshly.
Madhu looked back at Karan with a slightly stunned face.
"Be careful Madhu."
Madhu looked at him with a confused look.
"Rishabh's been seeming off lately, I don't want you to get hurt."
Madhu continued to stare at Karan as she tried to understand what he was saying. Then she spoke.
"I won't…he won't hurt me Karan. Rishabh's not like that."
"I know, I'm just making s…"
"What's going on here?" Rishabh asked the two.
Madhu and Karan turned to face him.
"That uhm…" Madhu didn't know how to reply.
"I just found out you two are a couple," Karan helped her out.
"And? Is there some problem?"
"Nope, I was just congratulating her," Karan lied.
"And what about me?"
"I was going to call you over here next."
"Sure, Madhs, can I talk to you?" Rishabh asked as he turned his gaze towards Madhu.
"God! Everyone just wants to talk to me today!" Madhu crossed her arms.
Rishabh laughed and gently took a hold of her hand to pull her away. Karan watched as the two walked away hand in hand.
"What is it now Rish?"
"Madhs, stay away from Karan."
"What?! Why?"
"I've seen the way he looks at you. Jus…"
"I work under him Rishabh. I can't stay away. How is that even possible?! You two have gone crazy," Madhu turned to walk away.
Rishabh grabbed her arm and pulled her close into his chest. She looked up at him shocked.
"Stay away from him," he spoke seriously.
"Fine!" Madhu said as she released her arm, rolled her eyes, and walked back towards set.

Cuba Gooding Jr Played Dr. Ben Carson In A 2009 Made-For-T.V. Movie AP Photo Tom Kludt – April 8, 2013, 11:37 AM EDT | 6549 These days, it may be easy to forget that Dr. Ben Carson earned a reputation as a renowned neurosurgeon prior to his ascension as a right-wing celebrity. But before he was unleashing scathing critiques of the Affordable Care Act and comparing gay people to pedophiles, Carson rose from humble beginnings to carve out a decorated career in medicine that included a 2008 Presidential Medal of Freedom. Fortunately, a 2009 made-for-television biopic serves as a primer for the apolitical part of Carson's career. With Oscar winner Cuba Gooding Jr. in the role of Carson, "Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story" tells the "true story about a renowned brain surgeon who overcame obstacles to change the course of medicine forever," according to the movie's IMDb page. The movie originally aired on TNT. After students at Johns Hopkins University started a petition to replace him as the medical school's commencement speaker, Carson on Friday apologized for anti-gay remarks he made during a recent appearance on Fox News.
