Philadelphia, PA – Despite the ongoing saga leading up to the ballclub's sale, Los Angeles Dodgers manager Don Mattingly kept it simple: Avoid distractions and come together on the field.
It's not beyond reality to think that former owner Frank McCourt's troubles had a lasting impact on the club's character. Mattingly advised his team to ignore the ownership uncertainty and focus on becoming more of a family and using the last three months of last season as a stepping stone for 2012. The Dodgers got their act together in early July before breezing through August and September until missing out on a chance for a wild card spot.
"In the second half, we had a lineup where everybody did his part," Mattingly said on the club's official website. "Matt [Kemp] has to do his thing, but we have to give him help. I like my guys. I'm not going to sit here and say we should win by 20 games or anything silly. If we play the way we're capable of, we'll be there at the end of the year."
It was a classic case of too little, too late for Los Angeles, which was finally sold to a bidding group that includes NBA Hall-of-Famer Magic Johnson for $2 billion. The financial strife that embroiled one of the storied franchises in baseball didn't keep the Dodgers from extending the contract of Kemp back in November, however, as they rewarded the All-Star outfielder with an eight-year extension. The $160 million deal is the largest contract in team history, trumping the $105 million pact the team gave to Kevin Brown back in 1998.
"I have truly been embraced by the L.A. fans," Kemp said at the time. "They've made Los Angeles home for me. It's a great feeling to know I'm going to be here for the next eight years, but my goal is to be a Dodger for life -- this is where I aim to be until I retire."
All eyes will be on Kemp for the 2012 campaign to make sure the Dodgers didn't get it wrong by dishing out an absurd amount of cash for his continued services. But Kemp is not the only one Los Angeles is hoping to lead the team back into the playoffs after a two-year hiatus. National League Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw and oft-injured outfielder Andre Ethier will join Kemp in the hunt to bring the Dodgers back to prominence. Ethier, of course, underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right kneecap in September and shook off some back stiffness during Spring Training. The Dodgers are hoping he can revert to his 2009 and 2010 days when he hit 31 and 23 homers, respectively.
Los Angeles didn't bring in any high-priced free agents in the offseason, but added some resourceful players to bolster the team's chances, including starting pitchers Aaron Harang and Chris Capuano, and infielders Adam Kennedy and Mark Ellis. The Dodgers still have the majority of last season's club intact and that's what is keeping the likes of Mattingly and others inspired.
Below we take a capsule look at the 2012 edition of the Dodgers, with a personnel evaluation and prognosis included therein:
2011 FINISH (82-79) - Third Place (NL West)
KEY OFFSEASON ADDITIONS: SP Aaron Harang, 2B/1B Adam Kennedy, SP Chris Capuano, 3B/CF Jerry Hairston Jr., C Josh Bard, C Matt Treanor, 2B Mark Ellis
KEY OFFSEASON SUBTRACTIONS: SP Dana Eveland, C Rod Barajas, 3B Casey Blake, RP Jonathan Broxton, 2B Jamey Carroll, SP Hiroki Kuroda, SP Vicente Padilla
PROJECTED LINEUP: SS Dee Gordon, 1B James Loney, CF Matt Kemp, RF Andre Ethier, LF Juan Rivera, 3B Juan Uribe, 2B Mark Ellis, C A.J. Ellis
PROJECTED ROTATION: LHP Clayton Kershaw, RHP Chad Billingsley, LHP Ted Lilly, LHP Chris Capuano, RHP Aaron Harang
PROJECTED CLOSER: RHP Javy Guerra
MANAGER: Don Mattingly
WILL THE USUAL SUSPECTS THRIVE AT THE PLATE?
You can guarantee Kemp will make sure his contract extension was worth every penny, otherwise both he and the Dodgers will never hear the end of it. But how badly could Kemp's numbers drop in 2012 after a career year? Kemp nearly pulled off a Triple Crown despite little or no protection in the middle of a Dodgers lineup that produced just 82 wins. Kemp hit .324 (third in the NL) with 39 home runs and 126 RBI, leading the NL in home runs, RBI, runs scored (115) and total bases (353). He also finished among the league leaders in multi-hit games (57, tied for first), hits (195, second), slugging percentage (.586, second), extra-base hits (76, second), stolen bases (40, tied for second) and on-base percentage (.399, fourth). Kemp will need some help in the lineup from Ethier, who was limited to 135 games and saw his numbers plummet from years past. He slugged just .421 a year after slugging .493, and recorded 11 homers with 62 RBI. He drove in a career-best 106 runs in 2009 and 82 the following year. First baseman James Loney will be counted on to drive in more runs after he finished 2011 with 65 RBI -- the lowest since 67 in 2007. Loney has been able to stay healthy, which is why many are left to wonder what the deal is with his low power numbers. Loney hasn't batted .300 since a .331 clip back in 2007. Third baseman Juan Uribe did not enjoy a solid first season with LA last year and appeared in just 77 games, batting .204 with a career-low four homers and 28 RBI. There's no doubt Uribe will be on a short leash this season unless he reverts back to his productive San Francisco days. Others who will contribute are Dee Gordon, Juan Rivera and A.J. Ellis.
DOES KERSHAW HAVE MORE TRICKS UP HIS (LEFT) SLEEVE?
There are only a select few pitchers who have captured the Cy Young Award in back-to-back seasons (Pedro Martinez, Roger Clemens, Randy Johnson, Greg Maddux, Tim Lincecum) and the Dodgers are hoping Kershaw doesn't regress and joins the group in 2012 after he dazzled his way to the top a season ago. The southpaw became the eighth different Dodgers hurler to win the award, as he tied for the league lead with 21 wins, while topping the NL with a 2.28 earned run average and 248 strikeouts. Kershaw gradually became LA's ace of the staff with his variety of pitches and is the first Dodger to win the Cy Young since closer Eric Gagne took home honors in 2003. He is clearly the No. 1 of the rotation and will compete with Lincecum, Ian Kennedy and Matt Cain as the best in the NL West this season. Kershaw's no mystery to the rest of the league and that makes him even more dangerous since opposing hitters still have trouble against him. There's not much after Kershaw, however, unless Chad Billingsley can finally gain some consistency and newcomers Aaron Harang and Chris Capuano fit in immediately. Harang was a candidate for Comeback Player of the Year with San Diego in 2011. Veteran lefty Ted Lilly completed his first full season with the Dodgers by posting a 12-14 record and a 3.97 ERA in 33 starts -- the most since making 34 starts in both 2007 and 2008 with the Cubs. Former LA starters Hiroki Kuroda and Vicente Padilla are elsewhere, while Nathan Eovaldi and Rubby De La Rosa will make a case for a rotation spot. As for the bullpen, former closer Jonathan Broxton, who battled injury for Mattingly, is gone and duties now belong to Javy Guerra. Guerra was part of a bullpen that finished with a 3.92 ERA -- third-highest in the Senior Circuit -- and converted 21-of-23 save chances.
HOW MUCH OF A DISTRACTION WILL SALE OF TEAM HAVE?
The sale of the team will have zero importance on the team's success because it already dealt with the McCourt saga last year. Now that former Lakers great Johnson is on board several players, including Kemp, are hoping a dynasty can be built out on Chavez Ravine. It won't be showtime just yet for those in Dodger Blue, but at least the anxiety on who will purchase the club has evaporated. U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Kevin Gross approved a settlement between the Dodgers and Fox Sports back in January to set the wheels in motion for the sale of the team. The organization's issues didn't seem to bother Kemp or Kershaw in 2011, and the two will thrive once again this season. The Dodgers were going to be competitive no matter who bought the team, but reaching the heights Johnson, James Worthy and Kareem Abdul-Jabaar did won't happen soon.
X-FACTOR: JAVY GUERRA: Guerra held opposing hitters to a .218 batting average and allowed just two homers in 47 appearances. The young right-hander was a part of a Los Angeles bullpen that walked the fourth-highest total of batters in the National League and should be a breath of fresh air compared to former closer Jonathan Broxton. The word is already out on Guerra, so it will be interesting to see if he can hold up his end of the bargain. Guerra, who posted a 2.31 ERA, a 1.18 WHIP and 38 strikeouts in 46 2/3 innings in 2011, has a chance to become one of the NL West's top closers behind Brian Wilson of San Francisco and San Diego's Huston Street. The Dodgers have a handful of decent arms to set up Guerra in Kenley Jansen, Matt Guerrier and Mike MacDougal.
The Dodgers have the majority of their roster for another run in 2012 and will compete for its third division title five years. They have missed the postseason in each of the past two seasons after making it all the way to the NLCS in consecutive years, and will need Kemp, Ethier and Loney clicking on all cylinders with a clean bill of health. Ethier has a lot to prove following his injury-plagued 2011 campaign and so does MVP candidate Kemp after signing a monster deal in the offseason. Uribe regressed significantly from his days with the rival Giants and will have a short leash if his slide continues this season. There are some young faces too that will contribute for the offense in Gordon and Ellis, while pitching shouldn't be a problem with Kershaw and Billingsley leading a pack of veteran arms. Kershaw will once again compete with Lincecum, Cain and Kennedy as the best in the division, and will be the deciding factor in the Dodgers' success this season. Expect LA to churn out around 90 to 95 wins this season and end its postseason drought.


Loss of Power in a Epilog Mini/Helix
Whenever there is a perceived loss of power, it could be caused by dirty or damaged optics, bad laser beam alignment or a focus or table level issue. Below you can find links to instructions on checking and leveling the table as well as checking and fixing the alignment of the laser beam, and how to properly check the optics in the machine.
First, check the optics for any damage, including burn marks, pock marks, scratches, cracks, flaking of the layers on the mirror or discoloration of any kind. To adequately check these, you will need to remove the lens carriage (lens and mirror) from the machine so that you can check the mirror above the lens.
If you look between the lens and mirror to the back plate that the assembly rides left and right on, you will see two small Allen Head Screws. Remove these screws and the whole carriage assembly will come off. Now you can examine the mirror above the lens.

Finally, Indonesians will soon be more informed about the importance of rationalizing the use of antibiotics. Yayasan Orang Tua Peduli/Concerned and Caring Parents (YOP), a non-government organization formed in Jakarta Indonesia on November 2005, has proposed to engage and strengthen civil society organizations to address aspects of antibiotic resistance impacting child and maternal health in Indonesia. This proposal was presented to the ReAct, Action on Antibiotic Resistance Organization on the 23rd of March 2012 in Jakarta Indonesia.
The overuse of antibiotics is common in Indonesia. In fact, from the early 1990s, a focused assessment revealed that antibiotics consumed 46% of the central level health budget for drugs. They are routinely prescribed for children with various viral infections, which do not need antibiotics such as fever, diarrhea, sore throats, respiratory and digestive complaints. Main reasons why the overuse of antibiotics is common is firstly because of the fact that Over the Counter (OTC) sales are very common even when there is a regulation that only allows antibiotics being available through valid prescriptions and in licensed outlets. Secondly, there are strong financial incentives for prescribing antibiotics where pharmaceutical sales constitute a direct source of income for hospitals, health centers and individual healthcare workers. Lastly, the public are not well informed and educated on which illnesses can in fact be cured by antibiotics and which are not. Patients seek for an immediate relief and cure from their illness and popular belief seems to show that antibiotics do the job.
YOP is going to execute their mission by holding information session to parents from different districts in the surrounding areas of the capital city of Indonesia, Jakarta, and selecting a few families which will then be monitored on their antibiotic usage throughout an allocated timespan. Eventually, the campaign will spread to other large cities in Indonesia and then to local hospitals in rural areas. With this form of campaign, YOP will be able to personally get in touch with Indonesian families who will be encouraged to spread the information among their communities. Information sessions, presentations and other forms to promote the rational use of antibiotics will also be held in major cities and rural areas.

In a pre-dawn West Bank raid the Civil Administration demolished five white shacks that activists had placed in the area Khan al-Ahmar Monday to protest the pending demolition of the illegal Bedouin herding village.
Civil Administration official took apart the shacks, loaded the pieces onto trucks and carried them away.
Their activity brought awakened activists and Khan al-Ahmar residents who are expected the IDF to arrive at any moment to evacuate their village of 180 people, located just off of Route 1, near the Kfar Adumim settlement. The security forces left as the sun rose.
The Office of the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories said, “This morning (Thursday), the Civil Administration's Supervisory Unit carried out enforcement against five movable structures that were illegally transported to, and erected in the vicinity of Kfar Adumim over the past few days. This enforcement activity was carried out in accordance with regulations and according to the law.”
“The erection of these structures was advanced by representatives of the Palestinian Authority in protest and defiance of the decision of the High Court of Justice, and in opposition to the enforcement of Israeli law in Area C.”
Last week the High Court of Justice ruled that there was no legal impediment to the destruction of Khan al-Ahmar which was illegally built and is close to a major artery.
The Defense Ministry has already declared its intention to destroy the village. The international community, which holds that such a demolition is illegal under international law, has pressured Israel to allow the community to remain in its current location.
The European Parliament is expected to vote later today on a resolution condemning Israel for such action, which would include the destruction of the Tyre elementary school.

In 1986, Microsoft IPO Price was $4.50. The company was founded by Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and Microsoft CEO Paul Allen. The IPO happened on November 3, 1986 and it was the largest stock market listing ever at the time. Microsoft was valued at over $200 billion at the time. The stock went up by over 350% in value.
In 1986, Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) announced its intention to sell its own stock, in order to raise money to keep the company afloat. The company’s stock price was $10 per share. Microsoft’s decision to sell its stock was met with mixed reactions, as some people saw it as a sign of weakness, while others saw it as a sign of the company’s strength. Ultimately, the decision to sell its stock failed to raise enough money to keep the company afloat, and it went bankrupt.
Microsoft Inc. (MSFT) announced on July 15, 1986 that it would be initiating a public offering of its common stock. The offering was to be offered at a price of $0.50 per share. The offering was to be completed on July 19, 1986. The total number of shares offered was 350 million. The offering was priced at $0.30 per share. The common stock was to be offered in the United States and Canada. The offering was to be open to the public. The proceeds from the offering were to be used to finance the development of Microsoft Windows and other software products.
In 1986, Microsoft Corporation released their first software product, Microsoft BASIC. BASIC was designed to be a programming language for computers, and was the first IBM program to be released on a Windows computer. BASIC was later ported to other platforms, and became one of the most popular programming languages of its time. Microsoft released their first IPO in 1986, and the company went on to become one of the most popular technology companies in the world.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – A piece of Hollywood came to Indianapolis Saturday night.
Silver screen star Robert Downey Jr. was at the AMC Castleton Square Theater as part of the Heartland Film Festival.
The festival doesn’t start until the October 16, but Downey was in Indy for a special screening of his new movie “The Judge.” The movie is based in the fictitious Indiana town of Carlinville.
“It’s about first love. It’s about the complexities of being pulled into something that you really don’t want to have to deal with, and by dealing with it, you kind of transform, but it’s also incredibly funny. Trust me, we don’t just want to make a dour, ‘oh, it’s kind of a bummer.’ This movie is a rock-and-roll, roller coaster ride of fun,” Downey said Saturday.
You can see the full interview with Downey on Friday on Indy Style.

Forecasting Energy Demand Using Conditional Random Field and Convolution Neural Network
Keywords:Conditional random field, Convolutional neural network, Electricity consumption (EC) prediction, Machine learning, SCADA
Electric load forecasting has been identified as an effective strategy to increase output and revenues in electrical manufacturing and distribution organizations. Several strategies for forecasting power consumption have been suggested; however, they all fail to account for small variations in power demand throughout the prediction. Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop a CRF-based power consumption prediction technique (CRF-PCP) to meet the difficulty of estimating energy consumption (EC). The EC of regions in the area is forecasted using convolution neural networks (CNNs) and conditional random fields (CRFs). Then, using the cloud, the predicted results are delivered to the electricity distribution system. To our knowledge, this is the first attempt to forecast electricity demand using CNN and CRF algorithms. In comparison to state-of-the-art algorithms, this proposed technique achieves 98.9 % accuracy. This recommended work also obtained minimum values of root mean square error (RMSE), mean square error (MSE), mean absolute error (MAE), mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), and mean bias error (MBE) by using 10-fold cross-validation (CV) and a hold-out (CV) methodology.

Federal leafy greens marketing agreement moves forward
by Joan Murphy | June 10, 2009
WASHINGTON -- Two years after launching new standards in California for growing and handling leafy greens, a coalition of produce groups has petitioned the federal government to establish a national marketing agreement for leafy greens.
In a June 9 petition to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the groups asked the federal government to set up a national marketing agreement based on best practices and a verification program designed to reduce the potential for another crippling outbreak like the 2006 E. Coli episode associated with fresh spinach.
The 16-page draft document spells out a process for leafy greens to be grown and handled to meet science-based standards that are audited by government officials. The draft agreement is posted for comments at www.nlgma.org.
"The 'proposed agreement' guarantees all parties -- growers, packers, handlers, manufactures and end-users -- are at the table as we move forward to ensure the food safety of leafy greens for the consumer," Charles Hall, executive director of the Georgia Fruit & Vegetable Growers Association, said in a press release.
The United Fresh Produce Association, Produce Marketing Association, Georgia Fresh Vegetable Association, Georgia Farm Bureau, Texas Vegetable Association, Arizona Farm Bureau, Leafy Greens Council, California Farm Bureau, California Leafy Greens Marketing Agreement, Grower-Shipper Association of Central California and Western Growers Association have been in discussions with leafy greens growers, handlers, other trade associations and stakeholders throughout the country in developing a draft leafy greens marketing agreement, said the groups.
The petition is no surprise to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which would administer the new program. For months, the groups have been working on language with federal partners, and the department asked Congress earlier this year for $2.3 million to write a federal marketing agreement for cabbage, lettuce, spinach and other leafy greens.
The USDA said that the federal agreement -- split into five geographical regions -- could generate the work of five marketing agreements, take two years to implement, and require regional meetings and four to 20 "complex rulemaking actions."
The department's Agricultural Marketing Service would need the funding increase to recruit auditors, bring enforcement actions, track inspection certificates, and conduct outreach to the industry and consumers, said USDA's fiscal 2010 spending proposal.
"A national marketing agreement would bring some much-needed clarity and consistency to the myriad, often conflicting and occasionally confounding food-safety requirements now being imposed on leafy greens producers," said Robert Whitaker, PMA's chief science officer.
California and Arizona are running statewide leafy green marketing agreements, in which industry pays fees to state departments of agriculture, which in turn verify that the companies are meeting the best practices. The two agreements account for about 90 percent of the nation's leafy greens production.
"We are talking about the remaining 10 percent" being covered in the federal marketing agreement, said Wendy Fink-Weber, director of communications for WGA.
But not everyone is on board.
At least one consumer advocate believes that USDA should not be enforcing food safety through marketing agreements, and said that AMS has repeatedly testified on Capitol Hill that it is not a food-safety agency.
"I understand the industry is attempting to do something in the absence of federal regulation," Tony Corbo, food lobbyist for Food & Water Watch, told The Produce News. "FDA has been AWOL on its responsibilities." But now Congress may pass legislation that would give FDA clear authority to regulate produce on the farm, he added.
Food-safety legislation, depending on the final language that Congress passes, may recognize the leafy greens marketing agreement as acceptable food-safety regulation, said Ms. Fink-Weber. California already has a two- year proven track record in administering this program, she said.
"This is not just a theoretical model," she added.

(Click on either picture to make it bigger.)
Tilling ground uncovers a lot of rocks, ones that are big enough to do damage to planting and harvesting equipment, so they need to be picked up and dumped at the edge of the field. It's an ongoing problem. There are large piles of rocks all around the border of the field, put there in previous years, decades. I think the land was first tilled in the late 1800's, so there are probably piles dating back that far.
Because I was tired of lugging rocks up the steps of the tractor and putting rocks in the cab, then finding the cab floor full before I could get to the end of the row to dump them, I decided to make a "rock box". I found a picture online of one that another farmer had made and using his basic idea put one together from steel angle and plate. The task was complicated by the fact that there are cast iron weights, 600 lbs, already attached to the front of the tractor. (Keeping the front end down when doing heavy tillage is an issue with tractors.) The welded unit I made is bolted to the tractor, in two relatively manageable pieces, so it can be removed when its not needed.
By running the disk over this field I'm hoping to do several things. One is to hasten the breakdown of the clover and oat material/residue. The disk chops, and to a certain degree buries, the material. I'll still have to do some tillage next spring as I need a relatively smooth seed bed to let me row cultivate next spring after I plant. Too much residue will plug up the row cultivator.
Another goal is to get as many existing seeds to germinate this fall, causing there to be fewer seeds in the soil longer term to interfere with the crops I want to grow. Any time you disturb the soil you'll get dormant seeds to sprout, something that is never going to change in an organic row cropping system.
No till is an intriguing option, but its next to impossible to do in an organic system. No till relies on herbicide, instead of mechanical tillage, to control weeds. Soil is conserved at the cost of a higher chemical footprint.
As far as other corrections I'll refer you to our customer service department.

Winter may begin in December, but the heaviest snows always seem to come in the new year, especially January and February. When heavy snow falls many other critters work their way through it safely, deer with their long legs and squirrels able to climb and leap, small rodents and mammals tunnel under it, but birds have to perch on branches or find cover withing shrubs that, in a heavy snowfall, are covered in inches of snow and sometimes ice as well. They can’t walk on the snow or tunnel under it, and while they can walk on covered areas that aren’t snow-covered, like on your porch or deck under the roof or furniture, that leaves them vulnerable to predators. They need your help to get out there with a broom or rake and clean off some branches for them, especially right around your feeder, and the all-important water bowl.

When Mouse’s dad asks her to clean out her dead grandmother’s house, she says yes. After all, how bad could it be?
Answer: pretty bad. Grandma was a hoarder, and her house is stuffed with useless rubbish. That would be horrific enough, but there’s more—Mouse stumbles across her step-grandfather’s journal, which at first seems to be filled with nonsensical rants…until Mouse encounters some of the terrifying things he described for herself.
Alone in the woods with her dog, Mouse finds herself face to face with a series of impossible terrors—because sometimes the things that go bump in the night are real, and they’re looking for you. And if she doesn’t face them head on, she might not survive to tell the tale.
Genre: Horror & Ghost Stories
Number of Pages: 416 Pages
Date of Publication: 17/03/2020
The author of this book is T. Kingfisher (Ursula Vernon) and the book was published by Titan Books Ltd.
While reading this book it was clear that the ghostly vibe present throughout the story makes it such a perfect read for the Halloween season. The quality of the writing is really good and very descriptive which is perfect for a horror story which relies on how the story makes you feel. Melissa (Mouse) is the main character of the story and who has been asked by her father to go and clean out her grandmother’s house after she passed away. She soon realizes that her grandmother was a hoarder and that there are secrets in the woods behind the house that she soon will find herself involved with.
There are so many horror elements involved and all are very well developed. The descriptions of the people, situations and places are very well written and it definitely makes you picture clearly everything that is happening. The build-up of suspense made the story exciting and I was definitely hooked to the story. I was really looking forward to a dramatic finale but ultimately too much was left unexplained and some of the motives of the characters seemed overly simplistic. Saying this I would still recommend this book as it is definitely a good read and I can testify that it will keep you awake at night.
The partially unexplained plot points are explained and somewhat justified by a post script by the author explaining that this book was based on her recollection of an earlier classic horror story recreated without reference to the original work.
This book was another great recommendation from a bookseller from Blackwell’s.
Availability: The book is available in all good bookshops.
