ALPHA CENTAURI HAS A PLANET!
@BadAstronomer
Tag: Bad Astronomy
Huge news! Astronomers have announced they have found a planet orbiting one of the stars making up the most famous star in the sky: Alpha Centauri, the closest star system to our own! At 4.3 light years distant, this is far and away the closest exoplanet known... and of course, it has to be.
More Bad Astronomy
Amazing photo of the Quadrantid meteor shower… from space!
Hubble's spectacular view of UGC 2885: Is this the biggest spiral galaxy in the Universe?
Alpha Centauri is a triple-star system, composed of a binary star, two stars much like the Sun - one slightly larger and hotter, called Alpha Centauri A, and the other slightly smaller and cooler, called Alpha Centauri B - orbited themselves by a red dwarf (called Proxima Centauri) much farther out.
The planet orbits close in to Alpha Cen B, and is technically called Alpha Centauri Bb - planets have lower case letters assigned to them, starting at b. Its mass is only 1.13 times the Earth's mass, making this one of the lower mass planets yet found! But don't get your hopes up of visiting it - its period is only 3.24 days, meaning it must be only about 6 million kilometers (less than 4 million miles) from its star. Even though Alpha Cen B is a bit cooler than the Sun, this still means the planet is baking hot, far too hot to sustain any kind of life as we know it, or even liquid water.
Still. Holy crap! A planet for Alpha Cen. Wow.
The reason this is a big deal is twofold. For one, Alpha Cen is the closest star system in the sky. Because of that it's very bright, and well studied. Planets searches have looked there for decades, and in fact for a while it was thought the dinky red dwarf Proxima might have a planet. Those earlier findings have been shown to be wrong, though. If it has a planet, it's too small or too far out from the star (or both) to detect it easily.
The other reason this is important is that the signal from the planet is incredibly weak. It was found through its gravity. As it orbits Alpha Cen B, the planet tugs on the star, like two children holding hands and swinging each other around. This sets up a very small but detectable Doppler shift in the starlight. The more massive the planet is, the harder it tugs on the star, and the bigger the signal (making it easier to detect). Also, the closer in a planet is, the larger the signal is... and you get the added benefit of a short orbital period, so you don't have to observe as long to see the cycle of the Doppler shift.
In this case, the planet is low mass but very close in. The Doppler shift in the starlight amounts to a mere half meter per second - slower than walking speed! When I read that I was stunned; that low of a signal is incredibly hard to detect. Heck, the star's rotation is three times that big. But looking at the paper, it's pretty convincing. They did a fantastic job teasing that out of the noise.
The graph displayed shows the effect of the planet on the star. RV means "radial velocity", the speed toward and away from us as the star gets tugged by the planet. The x-axis is time, measured in units of the period of the planet (in other words, where it reads as 1 that means 3.24 days). The dots look like they're just scattered around, but when you average them together - say, taking all the dots in a one hour time period - you get the red dots shown (the vertical lines are the error bars). The signal then pops right out, and you can see the tell-tale sine wave of a planet pulling its star.
This is incredibly exciting to me! A few years ago, when I worked on Hubble, I looked into using it to search for planets around Alpha Cen. I worked out some simulations to see if we could detect anything, and at best we could see a Jupiter-sized planet orbiting far enough out that its faint light wouldn't be blasted out by the star itself. It was deemed too risky an observation (too low a chance of payoff) so we didn't get time on the telescope to make it. We'd never have seen this planet anyway; looking for a planet reflecting its star's light is very different than looking for the Doppler shift. Obviously!
Also, c'mon. This is Alpha Centauri! Famed and fabled in a thousand science fiction stories. It's where the Robinson family was supposed to go in "Lost in Space". It's where Zefram Cochrane lived in "Star Trek". It's where the Fithp came from in Footfall. Because the system is bright and close, and the stars so close to being like our own Sun, they're an obvious place to put aliens. Plus, you get the exotic locale of a binary star plus the red dwarf thrown in on top. It's perfect!
So I, and a lot of people like me, grew up hoping against hope we'd find a planet around one of these stars someday.
My very, very sincere and gracious thanks to the team that made these observations. Even if this planet is cooked to within an inch of its life, this is still literally a fantasy come true.
And it reinforces my own thinking that we are very close to finding a planet with the same mass as Earth at just the right distance from its star to have liquid water, and therefore, potentially life. We are finding planets the right mass but at the wrong place, and at the right place but with the wrong mass.
But we're zeroing in on Terra Nova, folks, and statistically speaking there should be millions of them in the galaxy. It's only a matter of time before we find the first one.

Chapter 22 ♚ Buckle Up, It's Gonna Be A Bumpy Ride.
Wearing my long silky nightgown and a pair of cotton bunny slippers, I walk outside the balcony. The cold breeze coming from the sea greeted me as I take a step forward towards the railings. It's already passed midnight, and I still haven't slept a wink. Probably because of the time zone difference between the two countries. We arrived in Manila just a few hours ago and checked-in in a hotel right after we landed the Philippine soil.
When I finally reached the railings, I got startled when I noticed someone sitting on the bench. It took me seconds to realize that it was Axel sitting on it. I was about to ask him what he's doing here, but stop when I heard his faint snore. I lean forward just to confirm my suspicion and saw his eyes are close. He's sleeping!
His coat is sitting on the table with his phone and laptop at the side of his bench. I wanted to wake him up because he might catch a cold but got distracted by his defenceless appearance. He looks so...so unlike Axel. He looks tired. It's so rare for me to see him like this. He always wears his cold and intimidating aura. It's like he's saying 'don't get close to me, I'll eat you alive' vibe. I know that sounds weird, but I'm only observing him. That's only an opinion coming from a friend.
'Oh wait, are we even friends?' I ask myself.
'Ask him.' My subconscious suggests.
Yeah right. I can already foresee his answer. He'll surely deny it and will tell me that he's only doing the other side of the bargain.
Looking at his face, I saw a glint of familiarity in my head but at the same time I can't reminisce anything. It's like there's a cloud in my brain that can't seem to go away. I started feeling something like this after our mission inside Mr. Alastair's mansion. Everything that had occurred in that place is starts going back in my head little by little. I can remember that I met Mr. Alastair in a room full of guards and talked to him about something but the things we've talked about remains a mystery to me. No matter how much I pry with my brain, I can't remember.
I retract myself from leaning forward. I don't want to wake this guy up and caught me staring at his face. That'll be embarrassing! 'I should probably bring some blanket for him.' I told myself. Suddenly, a hand grips my wrist, preventing me from turning around and leave. It startled me big time since I was not expecting Axel to be awake. He looks like he's' in a deep slumber earlier. "Didn't you know it's rude to stare at people when they're sleeping?" He asked still holding my wrist.
"I-" I started. "I'm not staring at you," I denied. He loosens his grip on my wrist and let go. "and you're not sleeping, you're awake," I told him. "I was until you came," He said and got up from his previous semi-lying position. There was a comfortable silence followed. My gaze shifts to the night sky by the horizon. It was still dark. The only thing that light it up is the lone moon and a few visible stars.
"Why are you still up?" He suddenly asked breaking the silence. "I can't sleep, I got used to Paris time zone," I told him honestly. He didn't say anything afterward. I just watch him as he turn on his laptop and starts typing codes in it. The black screen background flashed green and white codes in a very fast manner. Just looking at it makes me dizzy. How can he understand this stuff?
"By the way," I started, "you told me you found the next ring. Where is it?" I can't help but ask. I was waiting for him to answer my question, but the only thing I heard coming from him is the tapping sound coming from his keyboard. 'I guess he's not going to answer like he usually does.' I told myself. I was about to turn around and leave but stop when I heard him said, "It's in a volcano," Before I can even ask something, he said, "You should go inside and rest. You need all the energy you can save in the morning," He told me making my forehead crease in wonder. "What do you mean?"
"You've got to be kidding me," I said abhorred by the 4x4 vehicle in front of me. Just a few hours ago, I was just enjoying the breeze coming from the ocean, but now the scorching hot of the sun plus the humid air is all over the place. Good thing I'm  wearing a loose t-shirt and pair of rubber shoes. "What are we doing here?" I asked Axel, totally puzzled.
Moments later, two men welcomed us. They look identical. Judging by their appearances, they look like locals. They both have the same brown skin, black hair and brown eyes. They are well-built and doesn't look older than 30. "Greetings Mr. and Mrs. Montblanc. I am Berto," He pause and introduce his companion, "and this is my twin Benny," He said. My forehead creased by his unusual greeting. 'Who's he calling Mrs. Montblanc?' I asked myself in confusion.
Axel starts having a conversation with them using a language I couldn't understand. I must've missed it when my tutor gave me the list of language I must learn. "Masusunod po," I heard Benny told Axel before hopping inside the vehicle.
"Let's go, we still got a long way to go before we reach the crater," Berto said before following Benny inside the vehicle.
I look at Axel strangely, "Who's he calling Mrs. Montblanc?" I asked Axel sharply. "And what crater he's talking about?"
"You misheard them, don't think too much. We're going on top of the mountain. My sources say that the current owner of the red stone is staying at the top of the volcano," He said and offered me his hand. "Shall we?" I reluctantly take his hand and entered the vehicle.
"Which volcano we're climbing?" I can't help but ask. I want to know at least where we're heading. I saw Berto smiled on the driver's seat. "Buckle up coz we're climbing Mt. Pinatubo," He said and steps onto the accelerator.

The World as 100 People: A Visual Guide to 7 Billion Humans
Author(s): Aileen Lord
What would the world look like if the 7 billion people on this planet were presented as 100 individuals? This beautifully illustrated and informative infographics book re-examines the world's population with fascinating and often sobering results. Covering diverse subjects such as demography, education, technology and health, The World as 100 People reveals that 61 people are Asian, 15 are African, 10 come from Europe and 14 are from the Americas. 51 people live in cities, yet 36 lack basic access to sanitation. 21 people are overweight, 15 are undernourished and 1 is starving. 40 individuals are regular Internet users and 21 have a Facebook page. Perhaps most shockingly of all, 48 people currently live on less than US$2 per day while 1 person owns 48% of all the world's wealth. With bold infographics from Melbourne-based designer and artist Aileen Lord, The World as 100 People highlights the reality of the world we live in. It is enlightening and thought provoking, and will ensure that you'll never look at the world's population in the same way again.
Co-editors Lucy Heaver and Hannah Koelmeyer are two Melbourne-based writers and editors with a penchant for finding fascinating, yet hard-hitting facts and presenting them in interesting ways. Covering a wealth of subjects from food to history to design, they have contributed to multiple publications in Australia, US and the UK. They are also the founders of Tusk editorial studios.

This Day In Baseball May 9
Debuts, Milestones, No Hitters, Rule Changes, Events, Birthdays, Deaths, and more on This Day In Baseball.
Events for May 9
The first Hispanic player in major league baseball is Esteban Enrique Bellan. The 21-year old Cuban infielder plays for the Troy Haymakers of the National Association.
on May 9, 1878, Sam Weaver of the Milwaukee Cream Citys threw a no-hit game according to one scorer. The scorer from the Indianapolis Blues awarded a hit to John Clapp and more debate began.
With a twelve-run lead, Louisville Colonels right-handed pitcher Icebox Chamberlain holds the Kansas City Cowboys scoreless pitching left-handed for the last two innings.
Washington defeats Pittsburgh, 14 – 9, in a beanball battle. Senators pitcher Win Mercer hits three Pittsburgh batters while Pirate Pink Hawley plunks three Washington batters in a disastrous 11-run 7th inning, tying a mark he set on July 4, 1894. Hawley retires in 1900 after only nine seasons with a still-standing National League record of 195 hit batters. All told, eight batters are plunked in the contest, a National League-record five by Hawley. The five Washington batters hit by pitches ties the NL mark and won't be matched till July 2, 1969.
Baltimore's Hughie Jennings knocks down Reds 3B Charlie Irwin before he can catch Bid McPhee's throw. Jennings scores afterward to give the Orioles a controversial 6 – 5, 10-inning win over Cincinnati. Umpire Bob Emslie is escorted out of the ballpark by Cincinnati police.
The Pirates beat Chicago, 8 – 1, as Deacon Phillippe tops Jock Menefee. It is the 8th game in nine days between the two teams, half in Pittsburgh and the last four in Chicago.
In Cleveland, rookie P Earl Moore, purchased from Dayton for $1,000, allows two unearned runs but no White Sox hits through nine innings. Cleveland matches the White Sox with two runs of their own in the 3rd inning. In the 10th, with rain coming down, the Sox use singles by Sam Mertes and Dutch Hartman off Moore, "The Steam Engine in Boots", to score two runs and win, 4 – 2. The threatening weather keeps the crowd to 400 at League Park.
The Boston Americans top the visiting New York Highlanders, 12 – 5, with a little help from umpire Bob Caruthers, who tosses out New York P Jesse Tannehill and 2B Jimmy Williams for a ball call at home.
Chicago's Jake Weimer allows just two hits in beating the Boston Beaneaters, 6 – 0.
New York's Joe McGinnity wins his second game in three days against the Cardinals, beating St. Louis, 5 – 1. Iron Joe is now 7-0 on the year.
Art Devlin cracks a 1st-inning double with the bases loaded and the New York Giants score seven runs off Irv Young in the first two innings. Christy Mathewson scatters 10 Doves hits in coasting to a 7 – 3 win.
The St. Louis Cardinals take out a $50,000 life insurance policy on manager Roger Bresnahan for reasons having to do more with publicity than concerns about his health.
At Hilltop Park, Christy Mathewson and Three Finger Brown renew their rivalry, Matty emerges the winner, 5 – 2, over the Cubs' ace.
Roy Akin of Houston, who hit the ball that led to Walter Carlisle's remarkable unassisted triple play at Los Angeles the year before, turns the tables. Playing 3B against Waco(Texas League), he catches a hit-and-run bunt, steps on third base, and then tags the runner coming down from second base.
The Giants top the host Cardinals, 8 – 3, with Christy Mathewson easily winning over Gene Woodburn.
Before 18,000, Christy Mathewson scatters 10 hits in shutting down the Braves, 2 – 0. A Chief Meyers double off Lefty Tyler accounts for both New York runs. Boston is now 3-11, 10 games behind the Pirates.
It is Nap Lajoie Day as the long-time hero returns to Cleveland in a Philadelphia A's uniform. But Nap is hitless as Guy Morton tosses a 6 – 0 shutout against Philadelphia.
Thirty walks are allowed at Philadelphia as Detroit overwhelms the A's, 16 – 2. Tiger rookie George Cunningham is lifted with one out in the 3rd inning after walking six batters. He is given the win, but leaves with a no-hitter and leading 9 – 0. Eighteen of the walks are issued by the A's – 12 by reliever Carl Ray – on their way to a season total of 715. Not until 1938 will a team (the St. Louis Browns with 737) top that. Detroit will add another 11 walks against the A's tomorrow for a two-game major-league record of 29.
The Red Sox and Dutch Leonard stop the Cleveland Indians, 5 – 1, ending the first-place Tribe's 8-game win streak. The game marks Tris Speaker's return to Boston, and 15,000 cheer his every move. After one inning Speaker inadvertently heads into the Sox dugout, much to the crowd's delight.
The Giants, 2-13 and in last place, open their western swing with a 13 – 5 win at Pittsburgh. New York uses three pitchers, and pounds three Buc hurlers for 16 hits. New York will win their next 16 games.
In New York, Cyclone Joe Williams, pitching for the Lincoln Giants, no-hits the Brooklyn Royal Giants, 1 – 0, defeating one of his fiercest rivals, Cannonball Dick Redding
At St. Louis, A's pitcher Walt Kinney relieves in the 3rd with his team down 3 – 0, and helps tie the score in the 6th by reaching Urban Shocker for a solo home run. The Browns rock Kinney for four runs in the 7th and he is lifted, and St. Louis goes on to win, 10 – 5. For Kinney, his home run comes in his last major league at-bat.
Behind Jesse Barnes, the Braves beat the visiting Cubs, 2 – 1, in 11 innings. Dave Harris's game-ending homer in the 11th wins it.
Pounding five Boston pitchers for 22 hits, the 2nd-place Tigers outlast the Red Sox, 17 – 11. Harry Heilmann leads the cat attack with two homers and two singles.
The Yankees' and the Tigers' outfielders make only two putouts for an American League record which has never been equaled. The National League record for outfield idleness is one chance (Pittsburgh versus Brooklyn on August 26, 1910). Detroit's George Uhle strikes out 8 in winning, 5 – 4, and dropping the Yanks to 7th place. Hank Johnson (7 innings) and George Pipgras are the New York hurlers.
The Red Sox sell Earl Webb to the White Sox.
The Braves' Rabbit Maranville sets a new record for National League service by appearing in his 23rd season. It is his first appearance since breaking his ankle in last year's spring training. The Rabbit has a single but Tex Carleton is too much for the Braves and the Cubs win, 8 – 1.
At Philadelphia, Charlie Gelbert of the Cardinals plays his first game since a 1932 hunting accident almost severed his leg. Gelbert's error in the 7th paves the way for the Phils'first run as they win, 2 – 1. The victory goes to Bucky Walters, the infielder whom manager Jimmy Wilson has been endeavoring to convert to a pitcher all spring. Bucky allows four hits and scores the winning run in the 9th to win his first major league game.
At the Polo Grounds, Carl Hubbell wins his 4th straight and his 20th in a row, subduing the Cubs, 4 – 1. The game is scoreless for six innings. Hubbell matches the mark of Rube Marquard, who won one game in 1911 and 19 straight more in 1912.
Reds' starter Peaches Davis gives up 15 hits but goes the distance in the Reds' 21-10 rout of Philadelphia. The right-hander's batterymate, Ernie Lombardi, goes 6-for-6 in the Baker Bowl ballgame, collecting five singles and a double.
Ernie Lombardi goes 6-for-6 and Alex Kampouris drives in eight runs in 21-10 blowout
At Boston, Jimmie Foxx drives in five runs on a pair of homers to pace the Red Sox to a 15 – 3 drubbing of Cleveland. Jim Bagby is the winner.
The press reports the impending sale of the New York Yankees by the Ruppert estate to political bigwigs Jim Farley and Jesse Jones. The Sporting News declares the sale will be for $4 million. The imminent sale will resurface on the front page several times during the next year, but it will never happen.
After the previous day's rainout at Wrigley Field, the Brooklyn Dodgers score three in the 10th to beat Larry French, 4 – 1. Newt Kimball is the winner.
Due to the poor grade of rubber cement used to make baseballs because of wartime rubber shortages, a different type of baseball is put into play today with dramatic results. In eight games, six home runs are hit compared to a total of nine homers tallied in the season's first 72 games.

oe McCarthy returns to manage the New York Yankees after missing most of spring training and the early season due to illness
At Chicago, Braves first sacker Johnny Hopp swipes home in the 12th to break a 2 – 2 tie with the Cubs. Boston scores twice more to win, 5 – 2, with Lefty Wallace taking the decision over Ray Prim.
At Fenway Park, Boston (20-3) runs its win streak to 14 by edging Chicago, 7 – 5. Bobby Doerr's two-run homer in the 4th inning is the big blow. Mickey Harris, in relief, wins his second game in two days.
In his first game outside of New York City, Jackie Robinson has two hits and scores twice in the Dodgers' 6 – 5 loss to the Phillies. After the game, the Dodgers give their young first baseman a vote of confidence by selling Howie Schultz, Robby's back-up, to the Phils for $50,000. The next day, Branch Rickey announces he's giving up his attempts to pry Johnny Mize away from the Giants.
Heralded Giant rookie Clint Hartung makes his first pitching appearance and throws six shutout innings of relief against the Braves. He will start 20 games and compile his best record at 9-7. He will also play seven games in the outfield and bat .309 for the year. But the Braves win today, 6 – 2, behind Warren Spahn.
Philadelphia manager Ben Chapman, who admits he had been 'kinda loud' in leading his team in verbally abusing Jackie Robinson with racial slurs during yesterday's game, sends word to the Brooklyn clubhouse that he would like to make amends by posing with the Dodger first baseman for the newspaper photographers. The orchestrated gesture, which Robinson agrees to, admitting later that is one of the hardest things he ever had to make himself do, is prompted by the bad press created by the Phillies manager's intolerance and the wrath of Commissioner Chandler.
In the second game of a Sunday doubleheader between the Pirates and the Dodgers, the umpire continues the game through a 7:00 P.M. curfew because he believes Pittsburgh to be stalling with a 5 – 4 lead. The Dodgers pass the Pirates for a 7 – 5 score, but Ralph Kiner hits a three-run home run to carry Pittsburgh to a 10 – 8 victory. The Pirates are fined $100 for violating the curfew and Kiner will end up tying Johnny Mize with 40 home runs.
The Indians sweep a pair at Fenway Park, beating the Red Sox, 4 – 1, in 10 innings, and 9 – 5. A Ted Williams homer in the opener is the only Sox score, while Ken Keltner belts a pair of homers. They both add another in the nitecap, but Larry Doby clouts a monstrous two-run shot to dead center for the Tribe.
At Detroit, the Tigers set back the first-place Yankees, 4 – 1, behind the five-hit pitching of Ted Gray. Vic Raschi also allows just five hits, including a homer by Dick Wakefield, in taking the loss.
The first-place Giants win their 7th in a row as Sheldon "Available" Jones stops the Cubs, 7 – 2. Aided by ten walks and homers by Sid Gordon and Willard Marshall, the Giants pin the loss on starter Ralph Hamner, who allows one hit in three innings.
Ralph Kiner of the Pirates hits his second grand slam in three days – and the eighth of his career – and adds a three-run homer to drives in seven runs as the Pirates beat Brooklyn, 10 – 5.
At Boston, the first-place Yanks beat the Red Sox, 6 – 4. Mickey Mantle hits one homer off Bill Werle and is robbed of another when Jimmy Piersall makes a sensational catch at the Sox bullpen in right-center field.
Athletics C Wilmer (Billy) Shantz, brother of P Bobby Shantz, hits a grand slam, the first homer of his professional career. It comes off former A's pitcher Harry Byrd, now with the Yanks. Shantz will hit just one more major league home run. Wilmer's slam is all the offense for the A's as the Yankees win, 7 – 4. The nitecap ends 1 – 1 after nine innings.
Tom Poholsky allows four hits and the Cardinals beat the Phils and Herm Wehmeier, 3 – 0. It is a club-record 14th win in a row for the Cardinals over Wehmeier stretching back to July 3, 1949. It is also a National Leaguerecord for consecutive losses from the start of a career.
The Tigers pick up P Herm Wehmeier from the Cards for cash.
Roberto Clemente's defensive gem and Ted Kluszewski's leadoff, walk-off, 12th-inning blast over Forbes Field's right field screen give Pittsburgh's Ron Kline a complete-game, 1 – 0 victory over Philly ace, and future Hall of Famer, Robin Roberts. Neither Kline's nor Klu's heroics, however, could have come to pass without Clemente's 4th-inning-ending eye-popper which turns what appears to be a sacrifice fly off the bat of Chico Fernandez into a double play. Clemente catches the ball and fires a perfect on-the-fly strike to the plate to nail a sliding Granny Hamner.
After six straight home rainouts, the Yanks play their first home night game of the year, against Washington. Mickey Mantle breaks a 2 – 2 tie in the 3rd with an inside-the-park solo homer off Pedro Ramos. New York rolls to a 9 – 5 win.
Mrs. Dorothy Rigney, her husband Johnny Rigney, and Hank Greenberg all resign their posts with the Chicago White Sox.

Future Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn is born in Los Angeles
The Indians tie a major-league record with just 23 official at-bats as Chicago's Herb Score pitches a two-hit, 4 – 2 win.
The Pirates' most dangerous hitter, Roberto Clemente, leads his team to a 9 – 6 decision over San Francisco, going 3 for 4 with a home run and 4 RBI, but his scariest shot comes before the game and travels about 60 feet. Les Biederman of The Sporting News reports: "Gino Cimoli can attest that Roberto Clemente hits the ball as hard as any batter in the league. Cimoli was pitching the final turn in batting practice before the night game with the Giants at Forbes Field when Clemente hit the last pitch before the Giants stepped into the cage. It was a liner that caught Cimoli on the left side below the heart and he went down in a heap. The Pirates outfielder walked off under his own steam. X-rays failed to reveal a fracture although Cimoli had a badly bruised side from the terrific impact of the ball."

At San Francisco, the Braves and Giants split a pair. After the Giants win the opener, 5 – 2, the Braves take the nitecap, 6 – 5, in 11 innings. Orlando Cepeda connects for a grand slam and solo homer for Atlanta, while Willie McCovey has a three-run home run for San Francisco. The Braves win it in the 10th when Ralph Garr scores after collecting his fourth hit.
A gathering of 43,307 fans watches the Orioles drop a twin bill to the A's at Memorial Stadium, 6-2 and 2-1. The unscheduled doubleheader draws a record walk-in crowd of 31,626 (73%), the largest in Baltimore's history.
Career triple No. 160 for Roberto Clemente puts Pittsburgh up, 1 – 0, on Atlanta and the Bucs never look back. Clemente comes home on Richie Hebner's single and solo home runs from Willie Stargell and Dave Cashprovide Pittsburgh's next two runs. Cash's 8th-inning RBI double supplies additional insurance and reliever Bruce Kison responds with a perfect 8th and 9th to nail down the 5 – 2 win for starter Dock Ellis.

Tom Paciorek hits his second game-winning, bottom-of-the-9th home run in as many games, a three-run blow giving the Mariners a 6 – 5 win over the Yankees. The previous night, Paciorek led off the 9th with a solo homer to give Seattle a 3 – 2 win over the Yankees.

Louisville OF Bernard Gilkey sets an American Association record by collecting three hits – two singles and a home run – in the Redbirds' 16-run 3rd inning against the Nashville Sounds. 21 players collect 14 hits in the frame. The Redbirds win, 18 – 4, after losing to the Sounds the previous day, 17 – 5.
Cubs 1B Mark Grace hits for the cycle in Chicago's 5 – 4 loss to the Padres. He is the 14th Cub to do so.
The Rockies reach the 1,000,000 mark for attendance in their meeting with Atlanta. It is the fastest any team has gotten to the magic number (17 home dates). The Braves win the game, however, 12 – 7.
1994 – Central Valley Rockies (California League) SS Neifi Perez pulls off an unassisted triple play on a line drive.
The Cleveland Indians tie a major league record by scoring eight runs in the 1st inning before making an out. Seven of the runs score as the results of home runs, including Kenny Lofton's leadoff round-tripper, Paul Sorrento's grand slam and Carlos Baerga's two-run blast. Cleveland goes on to a 10 – 0 victory behind Orel Hershiser and Paul Assenmacher.
High school star Shawn Gallagher is intentionally walked his last time up and goes hitless. Entering the game, Gallagher, from Wilmington, North Carolina, had hit safely in 51 straight games, tying the prep mark set by Stan Brown of Noblesville, Indiana.
California DH Chili Davis leads the Angels to an 11 – 2 win over Texas by notching five hits and driving home five runs. Davis's safeties include a double and home run.

Chipper Jones hits his first homerun
The Cardinals use an 11-run 8th inning to beat the Giants, 16 – 8. Willie McGee's grand slam is the highlight of the inning, and Luis Alicea also adds four RBI in the game. Barry Bonds hits his league-high 15th homer to pace the Giants.
Seattle tops Baltimore, 8 – 2, with the help of five hits, including a double and homer by 2B Joey Cora.
Prior to the team's game with Atlanta, Pirates players stand inside the stadium gates to shake hands and pose for pictures. They then proceed to beat the Braves, 9 – 0.
Against the Royals in the 6th inning, the Yankees catch Jay Bell in a rundown when Bell is suddenly called out by umpire Dale Ford, who thinks he passed the preceding baserunner, Jose Offerman. Offerman, however, had been forced out at third base. Royals' manager Bob Boone argues until the umps agree and put runners back at second and third and call for a resumption of play. Chili Davis then lines a two-run single off Kenny Rogers to tie the score. The Royals win, 7 – 5, in 12 innings, with the victory going to Randy Veres. The Yanks protest that the rundown play should not have been reversed. Gene Budig will dismiss the protest, stating that with the rundown there were several scenarios where Bell could have escaped a tag.
The Yankees defeat the Mariners, 6 – 1. Relief pitcher Mike Stanton makes his first major league start for New York, ending his record streak of 552 consecutive relief appearances prior to his first start. The previous record of 443 was set by Gary Lavelle of the San Francisco Giants.
After starting with a single, Marshall McDougall hits six consecutive home runs and drives in 16 runs in a 26 – 2 rout of Maryland. The Florida State junior second baseman, who will briefly play in the majors with the Texas Rangers, breaks existing NCAA records for runs batted in and homers in a single game. His mark breaks the home run record set by Henry Rochelle of Campbell University, who hit five homers in a game in 1985. The RBI mark was held by Jim LaFountain of Louisville who drove in 14 against Western Kentucky University in 1976.
The Pirates defeat the Cardinals, 12 – 9, as SS Pat Meares gets five hits, including a double. Brant Brown adds a three-run inside-the-park homer.
After 552 relief appearances, Mike Stanton starts a major league game, breaking Gary Lavelle's record for most appearances prior to starting a game. The southpaw shuts out Seattle for four innings, giving up two hits, in New York's 6-1 victory at Yankee Stadium.
The Cardinals score eight runs in the 2nd inning on their way to a 13 – 6 win over the Giants.
Red Sox 2B Chris Stynes, who had three hits in the previous day's win, suffers two fractures in his left cheekbone when he is hit by an Aaron Sele pitch in the 2nd inning. He will miss six weeks. Seattle breaks a 5 – 5 tie in the 8th on John Olerud's double to win, 10 – 5. David Bell has four RBI for the M's, while Trot Nixon homers and Manny Ramirez and Troy O'Leary go back-to-back in the 4th.
Delmon Young is suspended for 50 games by the International League for throwing a bat which hits a replacement umpire in the chest. The Devil Rays' top prospect, the brother of Tiger star Dmitri Young, was selected as the Minor League Player of the Year by Baseball America in 2005.
The LG Twins top the Samsung Lions, 5 – 1. Samsung veteran Joon-hyuk Yang hits a solo homer off Taek-hyun Ryu for his 341st career homer, breaking Jong-hoon Jang's all-time Korea Baseball Organization record. Yang has never led the KBO in home runs in a season, though he has finished second three times. This gives him the all-time KBO records for hits, homers, walks, runs, RBI, doubles and total bases.
Ryan Zimmerman of the Nationals hits a home run in the 8th inning to beat Arizona, 2 – 1, extending his hitting streak to 27 games. A.J. Hinch is still winless since taking over as D-Backs manager.
The Mets defeat Pittsburgh, 10 – 1, for their 6th consecutive win. Sandy Alomar is at the helm in place of Jerry Manuel, who was suspended for bumping umpire Bill Welke in an argument on May 7th. Jose Reyes collects 3 hits and 3 RBI for New York.
Joe Saunders pitches a five-hit shutout for the Angels to beat Kansas City's ace Zack Greinke, 1 – 0. Greinke suffers his first loss of the season after six wins and sees his ERA rise to 0.51 in the complete-game defeat.
Dallas Braden pitches the 19th perfect game in major league history as the Oakland A's defeat the Tampa Bay Rays, owners of the best record and best offense in the majors coming into the game, 4 – 0. Braden's is the second perfect game in franchise history, following that of Catfish Hunter on May 8, 1968; it also comes less than ten months after Mark Buehrle pitched the last perfecto, also against the Rays, on July 23, 2009.
With their offense out of gas, the Mariners fire hitting coach Alan Cockrell and replace him with AAA hitting instructor Alonzo Powell. Seattle is hitting only .225 and has been outhomered as a team by Paul Konerko of the White Sox. The M's respond to the change with an 8 – 1 win over the Angels as Michael Saunders hits his first major league homer and Josh Wilson also goes deep. Jason Vargas is the beneficiary of the offensive outburst.
Dallas Braden, recently made infamous due to his words with Alex Rodriguez when the Yankee third baseman cut across the diamond via the pitcher's mound, throws the 19th perfect game in baseball history, a 4-0 victory over the Rays in Oakland. In attendance for the 26 year-old left-hander's Mother's Day gem is his grandmother, who raised him after his mom died of melanoma during his senior year at Stagg High School in Stockton, California.
The Pirates beat the Dodgers, 4 – 1, at PNC Park, to move their record to 18-17, the first time they have had a winning record this late in the season since 2004. The game turns in the 8th inning; with the score tied, 1 – 1, Pirates LF Jose Tabata dives to catch a line drive off the bat of Jose Uribe, and then doubles Matt Kemp off first base. Uribe and manager Don Mattingly both argue that the ball was trapped, not caught, as television replays confirm, but are ejected by umpire Mike DiMuro for pressing their case too vehemently. In the bottom of the frame, Neil Walker drives in pinch-runner Xavier Paul with a double off Chad Billingsley to break the tie, then Lyle Overbay and Ryan Doumit follow with doubles of their own to put the game away.
Zack Greinke wins his first game for the Milwaukee Brewers, striking out 9 batters in 6 innings in a 4 – 3 win over San Diego at Miller Park. Losing pitcher Mat Latos is now 0-5 and has lost his last 10 decisions.
The Mariners clean house in the outfield, designating for assignment veterans Milton Bradley and Ryan Langerhans.
Milton Bradley, playing for his eighth club since his Expos debut in 2000, is cut by the Mariners, who still owe him the remaining part of his $13 million deal for this season. Although no specific incident triggers the team's decision, the 33 year-old slumping outfielder had recently been suspended for a game after bumping an umpire, ejected from another contest for contesting a third strike, and a few days ago he became the target of the Seattle fans' wrath for what they perceived as his lack of hustle.
The Yankees find out what it's like not to have the greatest closer in history available to pitch for them, as David Robertson blows a 1 – 0, 9th-inning lead against the Rays. He loads the bases quickly, then gives up a game-tying sacrifice fly to B.J. Upton and a three-run homer to Matt Joyce as Tampa Bay wins, 4 – 1. These are the first runs given up by Robertson this year; he had been successful in his first opportunity to close in place of the injured Mariano Rivera on May 8th.
In his third game since returning from shoulder surgery, C Brian McCann homers and drives in three runs to lead the Braves to a 6 – 3 win over the Giants. Craig Kimbrel picks up his 100th career save in the contest.
The Angels defeat the Astros, 6 – 5, in a game played under protest. Angels manager Mike Scioscia objects when home plate umpire Fieldin Culbreth allows Houston manager Bo Porter to replace reliever Wesley Wrightwith Hector Ambriz before Wright has faced a single batter in the top of the 7th. This is in apparent contradiction to rule 3.05 (b), that explicitly states that "the substitute pitcher shall pitch to the batter then at-bat, or any substitute batter, until such batter is put out or reaches first base, or until the offensive team is put out, unless the substitute pitcher sustains injury." The Angels, who trail 5 – 3 at the time of the controversial call, drop the protest as they win the game on Mark Trumbo's two-run homer and Alberto Callaspo's sacrifice fly; for his part, Culbreth refuses to give an explanation for his errant call but the Commissioner's office will suspend him for two days for his egregious misinterpretation of the rule.
For only the third time ever, the reigning Cy Young Award winners face off. David Price and R.A. Dickey get no-decisions as the Rays top the Blue Jays, 5 – 4. The other match-ups had been Orel Hershiser vs. Frank Viola in 1989 and Tom Glavine vs. Roger Clemens in 1999.
Yu Darvish comes within one out of throwing a no-hitter as the Rangers' ace allows a single to David Ortiz with two outs in the 9th. Darvish then comes out and Alexi Ogando retires Mike Napoli to end the game with Texas winning, 8 – 0, over the Red Sox. Ortiz had broken up Darvish's bid for a perfect game two innings earlier when his pop fly to shallow right dropped between 2B Rougned Odor and RF Alex Rios in the 7th; Rios was charged with an error on that play, however, and Darvish allowed a couple of walks before facing Ortiz again. It's a case of déjà vu for Darvish, as he has previously come within an out of a perfect game on April 2, 2013. On May 14th, Major League Baseball will overturn official scorer Steve Weller's ruling on Ortiz's 7th-inning blooper, calling it a hit as well.
Bryce Harper continues his insanely hot streak, as he connects for a two-run walk-off homer against Cody Martin to give the Nationals an 8 – 6 win over the Braves. This comes a day after he became the youngest player ever to hit five homers in two days; he is also the first player in ten years to have hit 6 homers in 3 games, since Hee-Seop Choi in 2005.
The Pirates become the first team in major league history to turn a 4-5-4 triple play in their 7 – 5 win over the Cardinals. With runners on second and third base in the 2nd inning, Yadier Molina lines out to 2B Neil Walker, who throws to 3B Jung Ho Kang to double off Jhonny Peralta; Kang then throws back to Walker who gets to second base ahead of Jason Heyward, who freezes between second and third base.
With runners on second and third, the Pirates turn the first recorded 4-5-4 triple play in baseball history, recording all three outs entirely on the left side of the infield. The oddity occurs when Yadier Molina lines out to second baseman Neil Walker (1), who throws to third baseman Jung Ho Kang to double up Jhonny Peralta (2), who had strayed too far off the third, and then fields the third baseman's return throw to triple up Jason Heywood at second base (3).
5/9/2016: In the bottom of the second inning, Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto's fly to CF just cleared the fence. Marcell Ozuna returned to 1B in case the ball was caught as Realmuto rounded the 1B bag. No call was made on the play and Realmuto continued around the bases behind Ozuna, Crew chief Brian Gorman requested a review, which overturned the call to passing a runner. Realmuto was called out and Ozuna scored. Realmuto was credited with an RBI single.
The Yankees take sole possession of first place in the AL East with a 9 – 6 win over the Red Sox, their 17th win in their last 18 games. Boston has a 6 – 5 lead going into the bottom of the 8th, but relievers Matt Barnesand Craig Kimbrel get tagged for four runs, on a two-run triple by Brett Gardner and a homer by Aaron Judge. Gardner, who was hitting just .198 coming into the game, adds a pair of doubles and scores three runs.
In a game in Cincinnati, the Mets gave a lineup card to the home plate umpire that was not the same as the one they posted in the dugout. The official one had Astrubal Cabrera hitting second and Wilmer Flores third, but the one in the dugout had them in the reverse order. In the top of the first, Brandon Nimmo led off and struck out. Flores came up next, out of order, and also fanned. Naturally, the Reds did not object. Cabrera then hit a ground rule double. When Jay Bruce, the #4 hitter on both lineup cards came up, the Reds pointed out that Bruce should have hit after Flores because an accepted out of turn play resets the position in the lineup, and Bruce followed Flores on the umpire's card. Bruce, the correct batter was called out, and Cabrera's double was eliminated effectively meaning that Cabrera did not bat in the first inning. Adrian Gonzalez, the #5 hitter, correctly led off in the top of the second and singled. The Reds asked about it, and the umpire ruled properly that the single stood. For the rest of the game, Cabrera batted in the #2 slot as he should have in the first.
With a solo homer in the 3rd inning in a 13 – 0 win against the Tigers, Albert Pujols of the Angels becomes the fifth player in major league history to collect 2,000 RBIs. Many articles say he is just the third player to reach the milestone, but that is discounting the 224 RBIs collected by Babe Ruth before the statistic became official in 1920, placing him above the threshold, and the entire career of 19th century great Cap Anson.
2007 – Woody Williams, a Houston native signed at age 40 as a free agent, gets his first win as an Astro in eight starts. The righthander gets the gamewinning hit as well, a bloop single to right for a 3-2 victory in Cincinnati. Lance Berkman supplies the other two runs with a homer in the third. Criag Biggio leads off the game with a double, the 646th of his career to tie Carl Yastrzemski for seventh all time. It's his 2,963rd career hit.
2000 – Ken Caminiti belts a grand slam and Craig Biggio drives in four to lead Houston past Colorado, 13-8, at Enron Field. The Astros climb out of a 7-1 hole with Caminiti's slam and a four-run sixth.
1983 – Phil Garner scores the winning run while ex-Astro Danny Heep argues the call of first base ump Terry Tata in a 6-4 victory over the New York Mets. Tata had ruled that Jose Cruz beat Heep to the bag on a roller to first. Nobody calls for time and Garner alertly speeds home. Garner's double off the third base bag had scored Omar Moreno and Dickie Thon to set up the go-ahead moment.
1976 – Houston catchers combine for the cycle during a 10-5 beating of St. Louis. Cliff Johnson pounds four hits (two singles, a double and a homer) before twisting his ankle. Backup Skip Jutze triples in the seventh.
1963 – Frank Robinson blasts two home runs and drives in seven as the Reds stampede the Colts, 13-3. The last of his mammoth shots comes at the expense of Jim Umbricht, making his first appearance after cancer surgery. Umbricht has over 100 stitches in his leg as he takes the mound.

SHOP TALK: American Girl Boutique opens in Rideau Chapters
BY Dayanti Karunaratne
POSTED October 9, 2014 2:52 pm
Shop Talk is written by Ottawa Magazine editor Dayanti Karunaratne and Sarah Fischer, Ottawa Magazine account executive and fashion maven.
Do you have a young girl in your life that likes dolls? If you do, you have likely already heard that America Girl is coming to Ottawa. Not to be confused with the CanCon-approved Maplelea Girls, American Girl dolls are the biggest thing to hit the doll scene since Cabbage Patch Kids. I've heard the excitement at stores in New York City rivals Black Friday madness.
So will Ottawans latch on the idea of dressing up like your doll, booking salon services for your mini-me, and otherwise taking society's fascination with dolls to the next level? Only time will tell. The store opens on Saturday, October 11.
In this edition of SHOP TALK, OM editor Dayanti Karunaratne explores the culture surrounding American Girl — and gets some tips on getting her own 2-year-old into independent play — through a Q&A with Lesley Nightingale, VP IndigoKids and a spokesperson for American Girl.
American Girls are coming to Ottawa!
What makes American Girl dolls different from other dolls?
The American Girl brand is about a commitment to empower and inspire. The name was derived from the brand's flagship line of historical dolls introduced nearly 30 years ago; today the brand has expanded into numerous product lines that reflect and celebrate the interests, achievements, and activities of all girls. American Girl is a perfect fit with Indigo — we've sold their kid's books for years, our relationship was built on storytelling, and we're proud to be their exclusive retailer as we bring the much sought after brand to Canada. — Lesley Nightingale, VP IndigoKids
I understand the first American Girl dolls referenced historical periods. Can you envision creating a doll that represents some aspect of Canadian history?
While we are always exploring new products to add to our line, we do not currently have any plans to create Canadian-specific characters or accessories at this time.
— American Girl
Will the historical dolls be available at the Chapters Rideau store?
Yes, a curated assortment of dolls from the Beforever collection (historical dolls), will be available at the Chapters Rideau store.
– LN, VP IndigoKids
My daughter has Bitty Baby but she rarely plays with it. How can I encourage her to play with it? Do you think some kids are just not into dolls?
While it's true that all girls are different and not all are into dolls, it's possible your daughter may at some point develop an interest! Our Bitty Baby line encourages nurturing skills, with an emphasis on pretend play, among girls ages 3 and up. A common play pattern for girls in this age range, imaginative play is at the heart of our Bitty Baby play sets and accessories. The line focuses on every day themes like bedtime, travel, and mealtime, so one way to encourage your daughter to engage with her Bitty Baby doll is to encourage her to feed her baby, or tuck her in, or get her ready to go to the store. We also have a line of premium Bitty Baby books, written by Newbery Honor author, Kirby Larson, which follow a little girl and her Bitty Baby doll as they discover the world around them. Each book concludes with a special "For Parents" section that focuses on the social and emotional experience of preschoolers and offers parents tips to help their little girls become more confident, patient, and independent.
The American Girl boutiques sell dolls, as well as accessories for kids and their dolls.
What age do you think is the target market for American Girl dolls?
There's a doll for children of every age! The Bitty Baby collection is typically popular with younger children, age 3 and up, while the My American Girl, Girl of the Year, and Beforever collections are typically popular with children age 6 and up. But there are no rules when it comes to creative play, which is another reason we're so excited to bring the American Girl brand to Ottawa!
I know some boys who are really into dolls. Can you imagine creating an American Boy doll?
We know that many parents who have come to know the quality of our products would like to see an equivalent line for boys. However, given our commitment and focus on creating premium products that speak to girls' self-esteem and development, we do not have plans to develop a doll line for boys at this time.
As a side note, we do currently carry boy baby dolls in our Bitty Twins line; however, this line is not currently available to Canadian customers due to differences in compliance regulations between the U.S. and Canada. It's possible that this could change in the future, but want to make sure you are aware of this.


Are you basing your life on assumptions?
Many people assume that life should be in a certain way just because they think it would. Their own internal representation system is based on presuppositions. They assume that they will reach success because they deserve it. The thing is that if they could identify or recognise the presumptions they base their life on, they could conquer the world.... but they are still second guessing.
Like them, you could live forever in denial or you could continue assuming that things would suddenly work out for you just because good things happen to good people... but this only a presumption unfortunately. A cause can bring you to more than one effect. Just because you work from 9 to 5, it doesn't mean that you will reach success, but it may mean that you will be able to pay some of your bills. Is this all that you want? The law of cause- effect is just a presupposition you built your beliefs on. To achieve excellence you need much more than hard work.
If you base your whole strategy for success on a complex equivalence assumption, I am sorry to tell you that this won't necessary work either. Just because you reached a goal in the past it doesn't mean that now you will achieve it again! Your presumption is that once you've done something, it can be repeated in 2019, but, you see, this time assumption may not be a certainty.
The truth is that if your strategy to achieve goals is based only on presuppositions, you may be able to reach success without even recognise that you did it. How would you be aware that your desires are fulfilled if you don't know what your wishes/ goals were and what was the route you followed to get there? I would challenge you to be true to yourself, know your weaknesses and your strengths, set up that fabulous goal that may change your life forever and strategise. Truism is always better than ambiguity, don't you think?

This is a fantastic resource book for fashion designers looking for quick poses.
There are 600 pages and on each one is a different pose. The clothing depicted belong to those you would see from an urban fashion magazine as oppose to a runway fashion magazine. So they are mainly street wear, dresses, mostly causal style.
The majority is line art but there are two watercolour drawings for every set of clothing. There are also a few useful tips on using watercolour with fashion drawings.
This is a nice resource at a great price.
Two other very similar books to this are How to Draw Poses in Fashion and 100 Poses in Fashion.

Tim Bogert Dies: Bassist With Jeff Beck, Vanilla Fudge, Cactus Was 76
im Bogert, who was part of such major acts as Vanilla Fudge and Cactus, and later in the super-group Beck, Bogert & Appice, died today of cancer at 76. His death was confirmed by his former bandmate Carmine Appice.
At his death, he was working with Beck and Appice on a forthcoming live Beck, Bogert & Appice album
Bogert was long considered one of the great rock bassists during the heyday of the genre in the 1960s and '70s, one of the few early rockers whose solos could hold an audience.
Musicians Institute, a Hollywood music school where Bogert taught, issued a statement mourning his passing.

"A Figment of Your Imagination." A Sci-Fi Trilogy...
Early on, I was this nerdy kid who fell totally in love with TV. It started out with watching cartoons like Tom and Jerry, and Bugs Bunny, to Laurel and Hardy and Abbott and Costello. Even primetime shows like The Odd Couple kept me hooked to the box. Before I lead into the episode, I want to highlight some of the movies and television shows that inspired my life. Now, besides loving Horror films, and anything else related to this genre, Science Fiction became another major influence. ~ Mark After Dark

While the market as a whole experiences the typical April lull as it waits with baited breath for En Primeur price releases, interest in Bordeaux is comparatively high as consumers run to grab a bargain from their favourite fine wine region.
Bordeaux's total share of trade climbed to 83.3% last week, a big step up from March's average share of 78.1%. Burgundy took second place, and The Rhone was also up 2% from the previous week, with three of its wines featuring in the top five traded by volume.
Bordeaux's total trade was again boosted by high value, non-first growth wines – a persistent trend so far this year.
Leoville Las Cases 1996 (98 points) and the perfect 100-point scoring Petrus 1989 and Cheval Blanc 2010 were the top three wines traded by value. Mouton Rothschild and Lafite Rothschild were the most active of the First Growths, accounting for 32% and 30% of trade respectively.
As the cheapest physical vintage on the market, the 2013s are clearly appealing to buyers looking for a low entry point into their favourite brand. This is especially true among Asian buyers, and explains why Lafite Rothschild 2013 was the fourth top wine traded by value last week.
Lynch Bages 2013 was the second highest wine traded by volume, while Petit Mouton 2013 currently stands at 50.1% above its London release price.
Robert Parker writes effusively of this esteemed second-growth in the fourth edition of his Bordeaux book in December 2003.

Q: Pandas DataFrame: Apply function cell-wise with index and column values as arguments I am trying to prepare some data for a heatmap or 3D plot. The general idea is that I have some function z=f(x,y) where z is the value of a specific cell with x as its column value and y as its index value.
My current approach is to loop over the dataframe which already shows the desired result:
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

def my_fun(a, b):
    return(a**2 + b**3)

index = [i for i in np.arange(25.0, 100.0, 25.0)]
columns = [i for i in np.arange(150.0, 600.0, 150.0)]
df = pd.DataFrame(np.zeros((3, 3)), index=index, columns=columns)

for idx in index:
    for col in columns:
    df.loc[idx, col] = my_fun(idx, col)

print(df)

and yields:
      150.0       300.0       450.0
25.0  3375625.0  27000625.0  91125625.0
50.0  3377500.0  27002500.0  91127500.0
75.0  3380625.0  27005625.0  91130625.0

But looping over the dataframe is probably not the right (vectorized) way to deal with this problem and I was looking for some pretty combination of apply/applymap/map.
Is there any way to get the same result in a smarter/vectorized way?
Thanks in advance!

A: You can use:
#if need only some easy arithmetic operation like sum
print (df.apply(lambda x: x.index + x.name, axis=1))
   1  2  3
1  2  3  4
2  3  4  5
3  4  5  6

If need your function working with scalars, is possible stack for Series, convert to df, apply function and last unstack:
df1 = df.stack().to_frame().apply(lambda x: my_fun(x.name[0], x.name[1]), axis=1).unstack()
print (df1)
   1  2  3
1  2  3  4
2  3  4  5
3  4  5  6

For testing is best instead lambda use some custom function like:
def f(x):
    print (x.name)
    print (x.index)
    return x.index + x.name
1
Int64Index([1, 2, 3], dtype='int64')
1
Int64Index([1, 2, 3], dtype='int64')
2
Int64Index([1, 2, 3], dtype='int64')
3
Int64Index([1, 2, 3], dtype='int64')

print (df.apply(f, axis=1))

   1  2  3
1  2  3  4
2  3  4  5
3  4  5  6

A: Indeed you can simply leverage the apply function to operate column-wise knowing that the column index is always available because the column is a pandas.Series:
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

def my_fun(col):
    # both are numpy arrays, col.values gives the inner value of the whole column
    # operations here use the fast numpy primitives
    return col.index + col.values

index = [i for i in range(1, 4)]
columns = ['col' + str(i) for i in range(1, 4)]
df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randint(1, 10, (3, 3)), index=index, columns=columns)

col_names = ['col1', 'col2']  # alternatively you can use an array of columns indices such as [1, 2]
df[col_names].apply(my_fun)
print(df)

Birding News
ABA Events
Bird of the Year
ABA Shop
Birder's Exchange
ABA Sponsors
Bylaws of the ABA Recording Standards and Ethics Committee
A. Mission Statement and Purpose of the Committee
The Recording Standards and Ethics Committee (RSEC) shall establish and amend the rules and procedures for the submission to, and publication by, the American Birding Association (ABA), of bird life lists, Big Year Reports, Big Day Reports, and defined listing regions, and shall be responsible for the dissemination, utility, and respect of the ABA Code of Birding Ethics, and will address policy concerns regarding issues of birding ethics as they apply to the ABA.
B. Membership
The RSEC will consist of no fewer than five members. The ABA President shall be an ex-officio member of the RSEC but shall not have voting privileges. Committee members must be ABA members to be members of the RSEC. The RSEC may invite individuals to advise and participate in setting policies or executing duties. These individuals will not have voting privileges and may include members of the ABA staff. All committee members shall be knowledgeable birders, possessing diverse experience with other birders, listing and listers, the spectrum of birding situations, bird conservation, bird behavior, and shall be well-versed in the ethics necessary for proper observation of wildlife.
C. Nomination
Potential members may be recommended for nomination to the committee by the ABA membership, by members of the committee, and/or by the Board.
Nominees must be approved by a majority vote of the current voting members of the committee. If approved, a nomination will be forwarded to the ABA Chairperson for official appointment to the committee.
Advisers to the RSEC will be selected by the Committee in consultation with the ABA Chairperson.
D. Terms
Term lengths for members will be three years. Member terms will be staggered.
Each member can serve a maximum of two consecutive terms, after which the member will be required to step down from the committee for at least two years before being a candidate for re-nomination to the committee. If for any reason a member starts serving on the committee during a partial term, that partial term will not count as a full term, and that person may serve two full three-year terms subsequent to the partial term.
E. Voting
RSEC decisions will be reached through the voting of all voting members. After an issue is presented to the RSEC Secretary (hereafter, "the Secretary") and after the Secretary and the RSEC Chairperson together deem it sufficiently significant to the ABA membership that it requires a decision by the RSEC, a vote shall be called by the Secretary, typically following preliminary discussion by the Committee. The Secretary shall circulate the question or proposal to be voted upon, asking for votes of approval or denial. Amendments to the construct or wording of a voting issue may be suggested by any Committee member and are subject to the unanimous approval of both the RSEC Chairperson and the Secretary. An issue not deemed sufficiently significant for a vote shall be archived after the Secretary notifies the Committee that the issue will be archived.
The RSEC Chairperson and the Secretary may consult with advisory members and/or the voting members in deciding whether a presented issue requires an RSEC decision. Issues may be presented by anyone to the Secretary for consideration.
A decision will be after one to three rounds of voting. Votes shall be sent confidentially to the Secretary, who shall distribute them to the Committee after all votes have been submitted. If after the preliminary round of voting all voting members are unanimous in favor or against, then no more voting will be required, and an official decision will have been reached. If the voting is not unanimous in the first round, a second round of voting shall occur during which members may consider the varying opinions and then vote again. If unanimity is still not achieved in the second round, then a third round of voting shall be called for, after which a simple majority will decide the issue, and an official decision will have been reached.
Each round's vote requires a voting member to state their position and their reasoning in succinct fashion. If their position is unchanged from a previous round, they may simply say as much.
F. Meeting and Reporting to the Membership
The RSEC shall meet via teleconference call or via on-site meetings at any time determined by the RSEC Chairperson and the Secretary.
All voting on any ABA recording standard or ethical principle will be summarized in detail and presented to the membership via an on-line communication through the ABA website. This communication will require approval by simple majority of the committee and must be presented no more than 60 days after a vote transpires. Approval of membership communications may take place electronically.
Any voting on committee nominees will remain confidential to the members of the committee and to the ABA Chairperson.
The RSEC will provide an annual summary report to the ABA Board due at the meeting of the ABA Board that precedes the Annual Meeting. The RSEC Chairperson or a Committee member selected by the RSEC Chairperson will be present at the annual meeting.
G. RSEC Chairperson
The ABA Chairperson will appoint a Chairperson for the RSEC. This appointment will be done annually.
At the end of the RSEC Chairperson's term, the other RSEC members have the option of re-nominating the RSEC Chairperson for a consecutive term or nominating a new RSEC Chairperson. Prior to the RSEC Chairperson's term ending, he/she will pass the committee's recommendation to the ABA Chairperson for final approval.
Duties of the RSEC Chairperson will include organizing and running the bi-monthly meetings, appointing the Secretary, insuring the timely presentation of RSEC summary decisions (as per F.2), writing or appointing a committee member to write the RSEC annual report that will be provided to the ABA Board due at the meeting of the ABA Board that precedes the Annual Meeting, and assisting the Secretary with his/her duties.
H. RSEC Secretary
The RSEC Chairperson shall appoint the Secretary The Secretary must be a member of the ABA and must be a voting member of the RSEC.
Duties of the Secretary will include taking and distributing minutes of the meetings, acting as the "point person" for communication from the membership to the RSEC, and assisting the RSEC Chairperson with his/her duties.

There could be a lot of reasons you didn't land an interview for that job listing you responded to online LinkedIn. You may have submitted your cover letter too late or your expertise wasn't aligned with the qualities needed for the job.
But if you continue to get rejected from job openings without even speaking to HR or your potential employer, the problem might be your résumé.
A résumé is a lot more than a highlights reel of your career so far; it's the first thing potential employers will look at when reviewing your application.
Most hiring managers will look at your résumé for a few seconds, so it's imperative that in addition to showcasing all of your accomplishments, your résumé looks and sounds professional. After all, very few companies will consider someone whose résumé is packed with typos and written in Comic Sans a strong candidate.
Of course, some of your résumé's mistakes aren't as obvious as using the wrong "it's," which is why enrolling in "The Ultimate Resume Makeover Course: Get Your Dream Job" is a smart move for anyone. In just one hour, you'll learn how to properly format your CV, incorporate powerful words into your résumé, and stand out against piles of other applications. Instructor Thomas White also shows you his résumé, as well as common mistakes job candidates make, so you can learn by example.
The class has a 4.9/5 rating on Udemy, and a previous student claims it helped her land three job interviews in one week. Available for $20, this course is one of Udemy's more affordable offerings. If you want to save a little more, simply enter the code "OCTUDEMY19" when you're checking out.
