Hiroki on our minds
What a tough game last night and a hard thing to watch…I'm sure many of you longtime fans had immediate flashback to Kaz Ishii and fortunately, the CT scan came back clear, so hopefully Kuroda will be okay. It's a scary game and sometimes we can lose sight of that until we're jarred back to reality.
On a much more positive note, Eric Collins is in town on an ESPN assignment so he hit up a game for the Single-A Inland Empire 66ers and weighed in over at Psychollingy.
And for those who didn't see yesterday's post, Lil Matt has hit the town. It's on YouTube, too.

My total disgust for the Idiot, the Incompetent, and the Great Pretenders is boiling over; therefore, I'll take the liberty of repeating my last post, so it's available for today's consumption.
Joe is used to abusing the bullpen, because the Yankees would simply buy him some additional arms when it was needed. He has been asking for pitching every chance he got, but Ned came up with the likes of Milton and Vargas, the possibility of Schmidt coming back. I can believe that the McCheaps don't have the ready resources to add payroll, and the last thing I want is for them to give up additional good prospects to some team that will carry the payroll for an added arm or two.
I think that Joe is an IDIOT and already retired into the west coast scene; that Ned is totally incompetent, whom other GM's don't take seriously – one who can't even spend the money he's given with any good sense. But, most of all the McCheaps are the Big Pretender, acting like they know how to own a sports franchise, when they're really just a couple of social climbers who don't know the first thing about baseball, except what they observed as Red Sox fans. They're the biggest stumbling block for the Dodgers, and they will be the big reason why this team of young promise will break up in a couple of years. That will be even harder to take than the collapse of this year's team.
We may need Plashke around yet, if for no other reason than maybe he can help to drive the McCheaps out of town in the not too distant future. Boston SCUMBAGS.
I am so relieved tha Hiroki will be okay. I did remember Ishii being hit and it was one of the most frightening things I've witnessed.
Now, Dodgers, let's go out there and win this game!
Couldn't agree more Bear…Now what? I'm sure Kuroda will be out for awhile…Is Ned smart enough to go get some pitching?
I'm not comfortable with Weaver..I know there's not much out there
Let's get this game today
Zona Out
I don't know why this is all McCourt fault other than hiring Ned for the job.
Ned need's to go away
Hey back off of Vargas he was good for us to bad he didn't stay with us long. I would had rather gave him a couple of start before he fall apart.
Go Mets
It is sure refreshing to hear that Kuroda's injury is not serious and he was released this morning. Now our Boys in Blue better go out today and get a win for our great pitcher Kuroda. Just make sure he gets all the rest he needs because we will need him in the post season.
Bring back Gagne
Wow did anyone see Aybar make that played on Roberts in the Angels/Orioles game?
Go Marlins..Beat them Rockies
so does kuroda have a concussion or not? knowing the dodgers and the way they've handled injuries in the past and misdiagnosed them, it's very likely they're going to be dumb enough to handle kuroda the same way the mets did with ryan church last year. if kuroda does have a concussion, letting him flying back to LA after today's game is the dumbest, and frankly very dangerous, move they can make. flying in the first 48 hours after after a concussion is dangerous. i only say this because i've already read that he could suffer from post-concussion symptons.
Nice Marlins 6-1.
7-1 Marlins
McCourt's culpability is that he keeps hiring the likes of DePo and Ned from the bay area, from which nothing good ever comes in any arena of endeavor.
Fat chance he'll ever sell the team either, especially only a couple years away from getting those elusive TV rights which will back another 2-3 $40 mil mansions.
Ned never has had the wherewithal to be a GM. From beyond bad FA signings to bottom of the barrel players to the "Ned Premium" other teams impose on him wanting to trade, he just doesn't have the tools. We lost Lowe and Penny and Maddux and we gained Wolf and Weaver and Milton. Hardly what one would consider a lateral move. Ah but he resigned Manny for 112 games this year and probably another 62 next.
Then there's JoJo the Fool, who in my opinion is one of the worst field managers in baseball. Burn out a bullpen by the end of July. Play inferior players even though the regulars don't need rest considering they're in their 20's. Write out inane line-ups. Bat his most dynamic player 7th and 8th most of the year. Give more ABs to guys that don't deserve them rather than ones that do.
Oh but he keeps JP happy – the be all end all of existance.
The great triumvarate…
Go Mets 2-1 NY.
Sigh and when I type that it's tied 2-2
If these freaking pitcher can't handle one god damn inning they need to be released.
Ng or White for GM 2010
Come on Feliciano let's get the last out.
DD88 — You are correct with the not flying after a concussion.
I receievd a severe one a number of years ago as well and wasn't able to fly to LA for a friends wedding. I was warned by the DR that it's dangerous to do.
When I read that he was flying with the team my lower jaw hit the floor. I can't believe that they would be that stupid.
I'm sorry but every since they Dodgers brought on Conte I've been shocked all the time. This takes the cake…
Again with Torre's managing there are just 2 things that really bother me is his oveuse of the bully as well as having Matt not batting 4th in the order. I don't get that. But last night wasn't his fault. Broxton didn't get the job done.
I'm not happy with the lack of getting pitching.
When one wasn't picked up in the off-season we were told that it was a tight market and that there was 4 months till the trading deadline and at that point they would know what they needed.
Well we all knew what was needed and nothing was done. I of course didn't want all of our young guns traded but after seeing the trades by Philly & Boston, I would think something could of been swung without giving up much.
Go Blue!!
Bring the Ring to LA!!!
I'm thankful Hero is better.
& Happy Birthday Tru!!! I'm hoping you have a great day!!
Thanks, Collie. I am having a pleasant day so far and am looking forward to a nice dinner with my family tonight. Great post, by the way. I do hope the guys turn things around today and have a pleasant trip home.
I did like the lineup from last night and wish Joe would keep it for a while, even if James and Russell are playing. They should keep Dre, Manny and Matty batting together and place the others around them.
Happy Bday Tru
Good afternoon everyone…….
I am glad to see Kuroda's test results were good.
Manny needs to put some explosiveness, into the offense. The opposing pitchers don't seem to fear him the way they did earlier in the year.
The pitching staff looks tired they have very little control on the breaking stuff….Earlier in the year we survived on ground ball outs and wicked movement….Now were getting beat by pitches up and over the plate.
We expand the roster soon and hopefully will get some relief, until then we need to get our offensive motors running on all cylinders and it starts with the Big Boy!!!
Shad ~ 🙂
Happy B-Day Tru
Thanks, Dodgerzona. Great to see you today!
Happy Birthday Trumom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My internet connection and our bullpen are very similar right now. Disappointing, frustrating, and unacceptable!!!!!!!!!
Glad to be here..It's been awhile
Let's get a win today
Joe's horrible bullpen management is coming back to get us. Joe continues to stubbornly run Broxton out there and we continue to lose leads! I don't think Broxton can't be our closer, I think his toe is bothering him more then he leads on. Ever since this toe injury became public Broxton has been hit or miss (mosty HIT if you catch my drift). Mota is turning back into a pumpkin thanks to overuse, Troncoso is obviously tired he hasn't had that nasty sinker lately and Belisario is back to being the whipping boy! Someone needs to tell Joe this isn't 1960! You can't run guys out there every day or even every other day now all season long. How many times this year have we see Joe use 3 relievers to get 3 outs in a game that was well in hand? We need to call up Lindblom, Elbert and anybody else from the minors to get some fresh arms in the pen and let our main guys get some rest. Broxton needs to be DLd and given the rest of this month off and Sherrill should be the closer. We aren't going to win a world series with Joe Torre as our manager if he continues his bad management. The Dodgers organization praised him like he was the second coming of Moses who was going to put us on his back and take us to the promise land. But obviously no body realized he hasn't won ANYTHING since 2000! A lot of it has to do with the Yankees buying All Star teams that weren't really teams but then again if you have a team full of all-stars you gotta win something right? Joe's gotta GO. So does Ned. If it wasn't for Logan White and the scouting departments amazing drafts over the last 5 years this team would be nowhere near the same. Ned would have filled it with washed up veterans and overpaid mediocre players.
I was listening to last nights game on radio and after the Hiro incident the radio station I was listening to cut to commercial while Charlie and Rick were talking…obviously I feared the worst at that time. Hiro really lucked out last night and I hope he makes a speedy return to the mound. I know there were a lot of people thinking about him last night. He has been a big part of our success since his arrival and he was one of Ned's rare good free agent signings. Of course Ned mostly credited the scouting department for it because well Ned really doesn't know what he's doing. I mean he did sign Jason Schimdt even though the Dodgers knew he had an injured shoulder. This team right now is just a big cluster you know what. We obviously aren't this bad but the cracks are beginning to get bigger and if we don't patch them this ship will sink. I hate that its in Ned and Joe's hands.
A very happy b-day, Tru! Hope the team will give you a wonderful present 🙂
I don't know if any of you noticed yesterday when Hiroki went down. Conte did absolutely nothing but watch. There were what appeared to be medical staff attending him and they all had on red shirts. Although shocked and dismayed at what happened, I felt reassured that the best help available at the park was taking care of Hiro.
Let's go smash the Snakes, boys! GO DODGERS!!!
Kemp as leadoff today….
Mets win.
Thx Murphy.
Happy 29th Tru!!!

The game last night was one thing and I thought of Kuroda all night and I know I wasn't alone.
I'm glad he's been released from the hospital, that's a good sign.
Last night was like going from the frying pan into the fire.
I just hope we've reached rock bottom and there is no other way to go but up.
Wolf, after his last start, is a good guy to have in there to
JHALL ~ IT HAS BEEN AN ETERNITY SINCE YOU'VE BEEN WITH US!!!! Are you all moved in? Thanks for the birthday wishes.
Damn, time warping again!!!!!!
Yay, Matty!!!!!
Matty lead off double
Ethier 3 runs bomb
Happy Birthday Trumom!!!!!
I just heard Kuroda talk to his family so he must be ok.
Thanks, Emma.
Almost game time
Good start Kemp
Come on O-Dog
Good job O-Dog
You're welcome Trumom!!! Hope you are having a wonderful day!!! All moved in. Just ironing out some internet connection issues. Darn time warp!!
An Ethier love letter for Nelly!! Way to go Andre!!!
Woohoo! Tru! There is your birthday present!! Andre Goes Deep!
Sorry about the dbl post
Way to go Dre!!! #24!! Nice!!!!!!!!!!
Great start boys!
Alright Loney
Come on Russ
and a present for the Wolf man. !
Happy birthday Tru! So you are a lioness.
This is the way we start when we're winning.
I sure am a Lioness, Emma……….ROAR!!!!
The famous Lorenzo Bundy used to be Loney manager.
Good job Wolf
They hit Wolf pretty hard there in the 1st inning, maybe that will be his bad inning (lol)
lol brooklyn
Ethier answers the bell
Just got home from the movies in time to see Either's HR. That's just what the Dodgers needed. Hopefully this is the beginning of the turn around.
TB4 ~ Happy Birthday!!!! Nice present from Either wouldn't you say!!!
TBW I'd say.
Vin says 3500 out of 8500 baseball players are born outside of the U.S. and he mentioned countries including Honduras so I went searching and sure enough there are two in the minor league. Some of you might know I was born in Honduras. i went to school in Honduras.
So Perumike if you are reading, are there any players from Peru?
Goodie, Vin said SF already lost and Rockies are being hammered.
It sure was a great present, TBW!
Rockies lost game 1
So what did you see?
Single by Andre!
2-2 Andre..Come on Manny
Happy Birthday Tru4
Maybe I should say belated, I just noticed.
Thanks, oldbrooklynfan. It's not belated, right on time!
crzblue2 ~ I saw Andre's HR, it just took me awhile to get the post out.
Looking good guy's…keep it up
We take 2 of 3 against the cards?
Kuroda, "Did anybody catch the ball?"….priceless
wolf 4th career homerun are was that 5
That's 5th for Wolf
🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
R A N D Y….the Wolf.
It sure feels good to see them crush the ball like that. Now if they can only do it more then once a week.
Emma ~ You meant what movie did I see. I misunderstood. The movie was "Adam" Very good, I recommend it.
🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
For those not listening to Vin.
Vin quotes
"A rose by any other name…" "Petit, well anything but"
" Petit, sounds like an oximoron"
"so the Dodgers are jus teeing off off Petit"
"they are warming Rosales, you would think the horse has left the barn…"
Save some of these runs for tomorrow against the Cards…
I thought about that all my life, Boblee, too bad they can't say the runs and used them where they need them.
But of course this game is not over yet, Boblee.
Great pitching by Randy today! Keep it up Dodger Blue!
Go Marlins.**********
Randy is really breezing, only 72 pitches after 6 innings. If he keeps this up he should go at least 8, maybe 9.
Looks like Randy can be our new pinch hitter! lol
AW no Ks.
I knew Hudson had some Pop, but I'm surprise to see him with more HRs than Loney.
Great day, Andre!
Way to go Randy!!!!! Almost a cycle!
Can we put Wolf out there again tomorrow?
Did Jr. Stottlemeyer just tell Schlereth to "just throw strikes to Russell" and 1-2=3, yer out?
20 in a row, 10 Ks nice 7 inning Gem, for RANDY
And great bat too.
The MAILMAN COMETH AGAIN 80 RBI
We just find out newest PH.
I don't think Wolf would be up again to get the triple oh well.
Wolfy!!!!! what a day!!! Maybe he should bat cleanup!
It looks like the Dodgers are having a great day. I am listening more than watching. I heard Andre's homerun, and then watched the replay. When I heard Randy and homerun in the same sentence I got the impression he gave up a homerun. What a nice surprise that was. Then to hear O-Dog get one too. That's what this team is capable of, and they should be doing this every game…………get runners on and then some major scoring with RISP. I know it's early in this game still, but what a great game it is so far. Okay, just checking in, and now I am going back to doing things to get ready for my first day back at school tomorrow. I will check back in a few.
I forgot to mention Randy's pitching……..just fabulous so far!!!
Wow you don't see that often 9 runs in a inning and in extra inning.
Come on Marlins take that 2nd games.
Time to give Pierre a worthless ab's.
4 hits….4 rbis for ANDRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats on number 80 rbi's Ethier
One more thing……………….did I tell you that Andre is just Awesome!!!!
Nellyyyyyy…There went the shutout
I meant hello nelly
We just need a cg from him and everything is prefect. Glad I didn't mention that shutout. Another freaking homerun Wolfy have to give up.
No bp today….What a game for Wolf 🙂
Many times, many times, Nellyjune.
Good to get somebody up.
Dang Mota is warming up.
Great 7.2 for RANDY.
Let's go Mota.
Get the dp now.
Let get the last out.
Get the hook
send them home.
I was hoping Wolf could go 9 but that's cool
Just a quick hit-and-run for me here because we had a loooooong night here last night, but I want to say three things:
1 – A very happy birthday to trumom! I hope you have a wonderful day with your wonderful family!
2 – Either Joe Torre is a complete idiot or someone forgot to wake him up. Wolf's breakdown in the 8th is completely and totally his fault. He should have had Wolf sacrifice on his at bat and not swing away. We didn't need any more runs, we needed him to sit down, rest and wrap his arm. If anyone thinks it's a coincidence, they're just fooling themself.
3 – This is gutcheck time for this club. We will now see what it is made of over the next couple of weeks.
A win is a win
I really hope we don't waste another pitcher come on Mota.
Dodgers win!! Woohoo! Now I can enjoy my bbq!!
one more
There's no better time than right now to play the Cardinals and run through the fires.
Let's get it over with.
My post took awhile lol….Nice win
You all take care…have a great night and week
Mota really need that apperance since he's been kind of awful 3 of the last 5 games.
BEATen by LA.
The next two weeks will tell us what kind of club we really have. eric's right. It's gut check time.
I can't believe Tiger choke.
It was good to see them come back and have a good game today. Great performances for Andre and Wolf. Wolf has been really solid his last few outings. Too bad Andre had a rough May or he'd be over .300 in batting average for sure. I still think his toe injury from Spring Training was really bothering him during that time. Still a great season for him and the batting average is starting to climb. No offense to any other players that have had bobblehead nights, but what does Andre need to do to get one? The Dodgers really need to start appreciating him before he decides to bail when he gets the chance.
Happy B-Day, trublu! I hope it's been a great one ):
I know it's kind of late and nobody will probably be around but I do want to thank all of you for Happy Birthday wishes. You are all very important to me and I feel like we are all family.
I agree with you 100% Bluecrewgirl…….ANDRE ETHIER NEEDS TO HAVE A BOBBLEHEAD DAY!!!!! I would drive all the way down to The Ravine in order to get one!!!!!
Bluecrewgirl – Andre really does deserve a bobblehead. He has done nothing but perform for the Dodgers for the last two seasons, and he has really come into his own moreso this season. I, like many others, appreciated him the minute he became a Dodger. It's about time management recognizes what an asset he is to this team, both on and off the field. Also, did you get the recent copy of Dodger Magazine? They had an article in there about the players and some of their eating habits. One must for Andre before every game is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, with tuna fish on the side. Andre ~ However bizarre that sounds, keep doing what you are doing because obviously it is working.
Dodgereric – What loooong evening? LOL!!!!! (jk) You and Chris are a saints sometimes you know 🙂
jhall – I hope you get your connections fixed. We miss you around here.
Oh!!! and just a quick note about trublue's b-day. Awesome cake my sister had made for her. It had bright pink and black frosting. In one corner it had Mickey Mouse, one corner had purses (I think it's more like a collection she has more than just buying them to use), another corner had a shopping bag, and, of course, in the 4th corner was a bat and baseball with Dodgers/LA written on both. The gnat and Padres fans in the group were not amused, but they ate it anyway.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRU. Hope it was a good one. The Dodgers gave you a win.
Yes, Nelly, I did read about the eating habits. It was an interesting read. I guess whatever works for him. but the tuna, peanut butter and jelly combo sounds pretty gross to me, lol.
Sorry I'm late, but Happy Birthday Tru! Hope you had a good one, I'm sure the ballgame helped out!
Sounds like you had a great birthday Tru!!
Nice win yesterday from the boys, but before I can get excited about beating a second-rate team's third-rate pitcher, let see what they can do on this homestand against some good teams.
I'm curious to see what the new Charlie Knuckleballer can do. Hopefully he won't be Haeger the Horrible (is that comic strip even still around?)
BPB ~ I remember the panic I would feel every time Charlie Hough would get the start! Do you think Ausmus or Russell will catch him? It's not too bad unless runners are on base. Then you have to always think they will automatically take second. Here is hoping for a great start from Haeger. Who knows, maybe he will through Pujols and Holliday off their swing a bit.
Randy Wolf had a homer, double, single and three RBIs on Sunday to beat the Diamondbacks. Wolf was the second pitcher to come up one hit shy of a cycle this season. Carlos Zambrano had a home run, double and single at Arizona on April 28. Wolf was the third Dodgers pitcher to do so since the club moved to Los Angeles, joining Claude Osteen (1970) and Kevin Brown (2002).2002
Updated: August 16, 2009
With the good performance Ethier had yesterday he's on pace for 33 homeruns and 110 rbi's.

BPB ~ I'm hoping Joe will finally see the wisdom of keeping Andre, Manny and Matt together in the lineup…..I think we will have the ability to score more runs and make up for our suspect pitching. At the beginning of the season, we were scoring enough runs to hold off whatever the other teams had to offer. I think, Dre, Manny and Matty feed off each other and that is a great thing…..it creates the fire, you want to see in their eyes, BPB.
Never can tell Tru. Always hit and miss with a knuckleballer. If they're on they're tough. If not, well…
Even if Charlie does pitch well they still haven't proven they can beat a good pitcher on a good team. I doubt they get 2-3 runs against Carpenter. Another thing that bothers me is that they can't build off of a blowout. They haven't had a good winning streak since the beginning of the year. Sadly, success this week will be if they win 3 games.
Last season right about this time they were just starting to play their best ball. They were gaining ground and ultimately built a lead. This season they're stagnating and losing ground – not a good trend. Despite their record, IMO this year's team isn't as good as last year's.
Damn, mini time warp again!

I would say Ausmus
There was no excuse could had easy been a split against the Cards or even 3 out of 4 if it wasn't for 4 dp's and 2 hit by Manny in that 1st game when the scored was close.
If Broxton didn't blow 3 saves this month we could've been up by 8 and only counting this month.
Man…BROXTON (booo him) that is 1 too many games he has blown off. He should of won Saturday's game for Kuroda. Kuroda hard work was wasted. Well enough of BROX…
Well even if we lost Saturday's game I am glad KURODA is fine. It was a very scary moment. Hopefully he does not grow fear of Pitching. WISH YOU WELL KURODA!
Well I am glad we won yesterday. I just think is funny that when the Dodgers are hot, they are all hitting homeruns on the same day. Then the next day…they are all cold and they don't hit. Man they need to come in an agreement to alternate homerun day to win more game…LOL. ANDRE #24…that's my boy. WOLF even hit a HOMERUN…wow and almost went for the cycle….WOLF is the PITCHER of the moment….GO WOLF!
They are home again. All attending tonight's game…have a wonderful time! GOOOOOO DODGERS!
OH YES – HAPPY BE-LATED BIRTHDAY TRU.. I know it was yesterday, but I didn't get a chance to post. It was your day and the Dodgers celebrated your birthday with a bunch of HOMERUNS.
Good morning ITD blogmates!
I remember watching Charlie Hough pitch back when he was with the Dodgers. No matter what, I am looking forward to seeing Charlie Haeger pitch!
Too many "ifs" shad. As my mom used to say, if the cat hadn't have stopped to shidt, he'd have shidt a runnin. Fact is they didn't do the job and now they're paying the price.
I think its obvious that Brox isn't right. His velocity is down 7-8 mph. Why the don't put him on the DL for 15 days and use Sherrill as the closer only Idiot Joe knows.
BPB ~ Joe said during his pre-game interview with Charlie yesterday that Brox is fine….his location is off but his velocity is still up there. So, since, I know you are very smart, BPB, Joe must be an Idiot!
I didn't say I wasn't looking forward to Haeger pitching….just that knuckleballers make it an adventure!
Good morning ITD blogmates!
I remember watching Charlie Hough pitch back when he was with the Dodgers. No matter what, I am looking forward to seeing Charlie Haeger pitch!
Gooood morning, ITD!
What I remember from watching knuckle-ballers pitch, whether it was Hough or Wilhelm or Niekro or just about anyone else, is that IF that ball is moving well, and IF they get that stupid pitch in the strike zone they were effective. If not, they have to come in with the mediocre fastball that made them try the knuckleball in the first place. And that, my friends, is nothing but batting practice.
What are we worried about? Is it his career 6.35 ERA with a 1.85 career WHIP? or is it his 26 walks in 34 innings?
Watch him go 5-0 down the stretch and lead us into the playoffs.
Here's another tidbit to make your day, BPB…..Peter Gammons said last night there was a good chance the Dodgers would be signing Smoltz. Of, course, the Cardinals are also interested in him. Cards would probably use him as a BP guy but we would use him as a starter (which John prefers).
Tru – can he be any worse than the rest of the washed-up hasbeens Ned gets? Maybe he can be another Maddux and teach our guys something.
Next year maybe we can get Glavine.
BPB ~ Gammons doesn't think he is as bad as his ERA would suggest…..and, by pitching at Dodger Stadium, he would do pretty good because it is more of a pitchers ballpark. He also thinks dealing with the NL West teams would be pretty easy for him.
I am coming up for air to say tonight's game should be interesting.
Peter Gammons would also L-O-V-E to see the Dodgers fail because we have Ramirez.
You are probably right about that, Dodgereric! lol
NellyJune ~how's your first day of school going?
All I can say is I am glad it's lunchtime – LOL!! Really, so far so good for the first day. They all look cute on the first day. I will let you know in a week what they are really like 🙂 I am liking my new room and the set up (much more open and great courtyard view, and I don't think I can go wrong having the letter E for my students' lunch line.
Sounds good, NellyJune 🙂
NELLY – oh yeah NEW potential Lil' Kempers & Mini-Ethieraholics…
Wishing you much success with your new class, Nelly. Glad your new room works so well for you 🙂
Good Afternoon ITD, Dodger Faithful and Our beloved Boy's in Blue…….
Set Yourselves Free…..The Wild and the Young!!!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. It's been a great first day so far. Recess and PE, and the first day is in the books. I am loving my baseball wall/center this year. Much bigger, which means room to add more. We officially aren't starting it until next week, and who is up first………………the dbacks!!! I did get a great picture of Andre walking down to first base looking at Dan Haren after being drilled. You can't tell by the picture what he said, but those of us that saw it, know exactly what he said.
And a word from the ( Mothership's House Band ) on what we want to do……………We Want To Rock!!!!!!
Taking this quote from a Simers article:
"Brad Pitt is currently scheduled to play Beane in a movie, which makes you wonder who would play Colletti, Wally Cox unfortunately no longer with us."
I think the movie idea mentioned has been put on hold, but it does open for discussion who you would like to see depicting Ned on the big silver screen. My own option would be for Steve Martin doing his best Pink Panther impression. What think you?
Dodger4life ~ Captain Kangaroo is perfect! LMAO!
Ned is what's his name from Homer Simpson? …can't think of his name. Oh yeah, Mr Flanders.
You all take care now you hear? I will be leaving in about 20 minutes to the stadium. Tomorrow and Wednesday I am meeting with a Cardinal fan friend who is coming with some of her friends.
Having read Moneyball I have a hard time getting too worked up over a movie based on this book. It was a good book and I highly recommend it but unless some creative license is taken (would movie makers do that?) I can't imagine it being very interesting. Beane is portrayed in this book as a highly intensive guy who loves the numbers. He can't even watch games, prefering to work out while the games are in progress. Can't wait for that scene.
Like most of you I am not too excited about knuckleballers. Yes, it is fun to watch the ball flutter and hitters look foolish trying to hit it but it is not fun watching catchers trying to catch it. You all know the answer to the question of how to catch a knuckleball, right? You just wait for it to stop rolling and then you pick it up. Hopefully things will go o.k. tonight but the key is still to score some runs.
Ned's the antichrist of money ball.
Ned needs to write a book – Sinsbad and the Golden Fleeced.
It's too bad the time for the Three Stooges is over – what they could have done with Frank, Ned and Joe!
Alot messagebear!!!! LMAO!!!!!!
Franky, Joe and Neddy.
Wise guys? I think not!! Nyuk nyuk.
Hello everyone, getting ready for Dodgers baseball!!! I hope all is well in ITD land.
Great job by Wolf last night and without ruffling too many feathers, Wolf has been our most consistent starter since day one. With any run support he would have 10-12 victories.
As for Broxton, I was watching and thinking as easy as Sherrill shut them down in the 8th, I would have had him start the ninth but hey hindsight is 20/20..
As for the bullpen and the tired arms, Troncoso probably cannot lift is right arm to brush his hair, I like the minor leagues 7 day DL. They should have it in the Majors and rotate their pitchers so they can rest their arms…
So who do we end up with Smoltz or Padilla?I would love to see both..Smoltz in the BP and Padilla in the rotation and if he acts up cut his butt again..We need the depth, Bills hammy and Kuroda, thank God he is recovering well, is a question mark until he puts in a full BP and see how he reacts.
Lets hope Haeger can pull a Hough and give us a good 5-6 innings and hopefully we can reach Carpernter for some runs…I believe he is pitching.
Lets go Dodgers!!!
I thought Garko was supposed to help the Giants? Garko in 16 games has 1 extra bases hit and that was a double and putting up numbers like this .204/.304/.245/ .548. Sanchez has help a lot but his number went down also since getting traded to the Giants. Sanchez numbers with the Giants are .288/.315/.365/ .680.

Way back in the days when my grandparents resided in Syria, there was no such thing as a huge slab of meat for the entire family, so the women had to stretch a pound of meat by grinding and mixing it with short grain rice (faster cooking time), salt, allspice, and cinnamon. They would stuff this "hashu" filling into the vegetables that were bought in the local souk in the city. Of course the vegetables were laboriously scooped upon arrival home. Fruits, vegetables and poultry from the Aleppo region were know to be organic and extra tasty, and the former residents will passionately attest to it. I will never forget the pride of one of the women that we interviewed for the Sephardic Heritage Museum project when she said, "You haven't even tasted a CHERRY until you've tasted one from Aleppo!" Fortunately, our grandparents brought the memories of the flavors of their native land, and adapted them to our American menu. I'm not actually sure if they made eggplant rollups back in Syria, but I'm sure that they stuffed their baby eggplants with "hashu". For a more detailed post on how to make hashu click HERE.
I really enjoy making eggplant rollups for the holidays when one meal rolls into the next because you can just pull it out of the freezer to defrost in the morning and pop into the oven a couple of hours before serving.
If you do freeze in advance, then just remember to defrost and add a little water to the edges of the pyrex before cooking!

Master puzzle maker Oskar van Deventer has created the monster truck of rubiks cubes. With 289 squares to a face, this behemoth should keep the speed cubing folks busy for a while. [Thanks, Duann!]
When Oskar heard of the world records being set for twisty puzzles, like the 7x7x7, 9x9x9 and 11x11x11 by Panagiotis Verdes from Greece, he wanted to try his hand at setting a new record himself. With sponsorship from his close friend Claus Wenicker, Oskar set about designing and testing a number of prototypes, and his third attempt was printed successfully with Shapeways. Sorting and dyeing all 1539 pieces took Oskar 10 hours of work, followed by 5 hours of assembling. The result is an oversized (140 millimeter, 5.5 inches) and fully functioning "Over The Top" 17x17x17 puzzle.

Metal guitarist Mike Scaccia died early Sunday morning after suffering a sudden heart attack onstage while playing with his band, Rigor Mortis. He was 47.
Scaccia was performing at the Rail Club in Fort Worth, Texas for the 50th birthday of Bruce Corbitt, the lead singer of Rigor Mortis. Scaccia was pronounced dead at the hospital, according to the Tarrant County Medical Examiner.
Scaccia had also complained about strobe lights on stage, and an earlier report said he had suffered a seizure. Seizures can be induced by flashing lights.
Scaccia was born July 14, 1965 in Babylon, N.Y. Along with drummer Haden Harrison and bassist Casey Orr, Scaccia founded Rigor Mortis in 1983. The band, which mainly played thrash or speed metal, released its debut album for Capitol Records in 1988.
Scaccia departed the band in 1991 to play with Ministry. Corbitt's Facebook page said there would be an online fundraiser for Scaccia's family and a forthcoming tribute show.

It's not every day that a public building is paid off. The Dolores Public Library building was a community project. Land and materials were donated, and many financial contributions were received, along with grants and tax dollars.
"It's something to celebrate and we want to let the taxpayers know that the community appreciates what they did," said Library Director Carole Arnold.
The library moved into its new facility in May 2004, and last week — just nine years later — made its final payment on the building.
It has been the history of the Dolores Public Library District, when requesting a funding increase, to inform supporters of the library's progress. In the 2003 election, the board asked voters for an increase of 1.5 mills, and requested that when the note was paid, the portion of the levy being used to pay off the note would sunset, leaving a portion for maintenance of the building.
Arnold said use of the library has increased by 50 percent since the new building was built. Its location on the Dolores River with views of nearby hillsides and the rushing river is ideal. Floor to ceiling windows, a stately reading room, and shaded courtyards and gardens attract locals and visitors alike.
"We are a library district, so we serve people beyond town. We have good libraries in our county and are very fortunate," Arnold said.
The library board, staff and patrons are grateful to the taxpayers for their continued support of the Dolores Public Library.

Up on otn/java is a very useful article by Oracle Java/Middleware/Core Tech Engineer Mark Heckler, titled, "How to Get Started (FAST!) with JavaFX 2 and Scene Builder." Heckler, who has development experience in numerous environments, shows developers how to develop a JavaFX application using Scene Builder "in less time than it takes to drink a cup of coffee, while learning your way around in the process".
He begins with a warning and a reassurance: "JavaFX is a new paradigm and can seem a bit imposing when you first take a look at it. But remember, JavaFX is easy and fun. Let's give it a try."
Next, after showing readers how to download and install JDK/JavaFX and Scene Builder, he informs the reader that they will "create a simple JavaFX application, create and modify a window using Scene Builder, and successfully test it in under 15 minutes."
Then readers download some NetBeans files:
"EasyJavaFX.java contains the main application class. We won't do anything with this class for our example, as its primary purpose in life is to load the window definition code contained in the FXML file and then show the main stage/scene. You'll keep the JavaFX terms straight with ease if you relate them to the theater: a platform holds a stage, which contains scenes.
SampleController.java is our controller class that provides the 'brains' behind the graphical interface. If you open the SampleController, you'll see that it includes a property and a method tagged with @FXML. This tag enables the integration of the visual controls and elements you define using Scene Builder, which are stored in an FXML (FX Markup Language) file.
Sample.fxml is the definition file for our sample window. You can right-click and Edit the filename in the tree to view the underlying FXML -- and you may need to do that if you change filenames or properties by hand - or you can double-click on it to open it (visually) in Scene Builder."
Then Scene Builder enters the picture and the task is soon done.

This bracelet is inspired by the balance between the feminine (moon) and masculine (sun) as we all work towards unification.

UK's child mortality rate shows growing poverty gap
Child deaths in Britain "disproportionately" affect the poorest in society, leading children's doctors have said.
The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) said the nation needs to get to grips with the growing gap between rich and poor to have any impact on high mortality rates.
Meanwhile public health policies to reduce child deaths are "piecemeal", according to the RCPCH's latest report.
Youngsters in the UK are at a higher risk of premature death than their peers in western Europe, the Why Children Die report says.
The document, complied alongside experts from the National Children's Bureau (NCB), says that 3,000 babies died before the age of one and 2,000 youngsters aged one to 19 died during 2012.
Many of the deaths among babies occurred because of pre-term delivery and low birth weights, while injury is the most frequent cause of death among children over the age one one.
There are "marked social inequalities" in death rates, the report states. For instance, mothers who smoke during pregnancy, which can lead to a plethora of adverse health problems for youngsters, are most likely to come from disadvantaged backgrounds.
The authors of the report said more must be done to tackle inequalities in deprivation – including withdrawing the new cap on welfare spending.
They said that many child deaths could be prevented though a combination of changes in society, political engagement and improved training for healthcare workers.
Other actions which could be taken include; introducing a 20mph road limit in built-up areas to prevent road deaths, better education about health at school and the introduction of a minimum unit price for alcohol.
The report says that health services do not always deliver optimal care for children and young people, and lives may be lost as a result.
The authors called for better training for healthcare staff to ensure they are confident of spotting symptoms among sick children.
"We know there are things that all healthcare professionals can be doing better to help reduce avoidable child deaths – whether that's early detection of problems, safe prescribing or using effective tools such as asthma plans to manage conditions," said RCPCH president Dr Hilary Cass.
"But if we're to make real inroads into reducing these tragic mortality figures, we cannot do it alone. It's time that political parties of all colours took health inequalities seriously.
"At the moment, policies to reduce child mortality are too piecemeal, not targeted and fail to address the underlying causes."
Dr Ingrid Wolfe, lead author of the report and child public health expert, added: " Social and economic inequalities are matters of life and death for children. Countries that spend more on social protection have lower child mortality rates. The messages are stark and crucial. Poverty kills children. Equity saves lives. Social protection is life-saving medicine for the population."
Dr Hilary Emery, chief executive of the NCB, said: "There are currently 3.5 million children living in poverty across the UK, that's one in four; twice that of many industrialised nations. This report clearly illustrates the direct impact persistent inequality in our society has on the life chances of the most disadvantaged children and young people.
"Government needs to bring forward a revised child poverty strategy that has tackling health inequality as a central focus to prevent the disproportionate number of deaths amongst children in low income families.
"Equally important is enhancing the wellbeing and resilience of our children through education, and ensuring that every child grows up in a place that is healthy and safe.
"Now is the time to act, to ensure that all our children have the opportunity to fulfil their potential and live long and healthy lives, regardless of their circumstances."
Dr Ann Hoskins, director of children and young people for Public Health England (PHE), added: "It is paramount we all work together to reduce the numbers of children who die or suffer preventable illness and injury.
"PHE firmly believes that good health and wellbeing is based upon having a good start in life and we are working with partners at a local and national level to further develop the resources and support, to encourage healthier lifestyles in children and young people.
"PHE is working with local authorities to support improvements in outcomes for early years, reduce rates of smoking in pregnancy, teenage pregnancies, injuries in the home, and improve emotional health and wellbeing."
Health Minister Dr Dan Poulter said: "Our children and young people deserve the very best start in life. As a result of our investment in children, we have seen a 23% rise in the number of health visitors and have invested £54 million in mental health support for young people.
"We are also investing more in training so that GPs have stronger integrated skills to care for children and young people with specialist long-term conditions in the community.
"We recognise that more needs to be done, but it is our ambition to make health inequalities a thing of the past."
Labour's shadow public health minister Luciana Berger said: "This report reveals that preventable child deaths are more likely to affect the poorest families. That is an appalling fact and a tragedy not befitting a civilised country.
"At present, the Government is heading away from the solutions offered by this report. David Cameron has shelved plans for a minimum alcohol price, reduced the support for stop-smoking services and failed to deliver the new midwives he promised.
"David Cameron must explain why children in the UK are more likely to die prematurely than elsewhere in Europe and immediately tackle these health inequalities."

Womens adidas Falcon Athletic Shoe - White
Style #: 436700
Take flight with the throwback style of the new Falcon Athletic Shoe from adidas! Taking cues from all things 90's, the Falcon Athletic Shoe embodies the spirit of the decade, featuring breathable mesh uppers with metallic accents, lightweight EVA midsole for comfort, and durable rubber outsole with Torsion System at the midfoot for superior flexibility.
- Breathable mesh upper with suede overlays and metallic leather counter
- Breathable mesh lining
- Lace closure offers a secure fit
- Soft suede eyestay and tongue with retro logo detail
- Lightweight EVA footbed lined with mesh ensures lasting comfort
- Durable rubber outsole with Torsion System delivers midfoot stability and flexible traction
It still seems an unlikely story: a modest shoemaker from a small rural town in Germany develops a range of sports products so original and so perfect that they are sought by athletes from all over the world. As he indulges his passion for sport and for innovation, he creates a brand as great as any in the world. An unlikely story, but not impossible. Impossible is Nothing. For adidas, it all started with shoes. Shoes to play in. Shoes to play better in. Shoes to win in. Shoes that, one day, would tread Wembley and Wimbledon, win medals at the Olympic Games and the FIFA World Cup™. Athletes would wear them, record-breakers, and champions. Today, adidas is one of the world's leading brands, recognised and respected. Passion, authenticity, innovation, inspiration, honesty and commitment – that is what adidas means to us. But above all, it is the stories that made Adi Dassler's idea and principle "no athlete left behind" come to life on the biggest sports stages around the world.

Daily News
Hailing chief WTC boosters
Fund-raising for the World Trade Center memorial could get a big boost today, when Gov. Pataki announces that the nation's four living former Presidents are putting their weight behind the project, the Daily News has learned.
Pataki will reveal at a lunch today that former Presidents Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, George Bush and Bill Clinton have pledged their support for the memorial and agreed to serve as honorary members of the World Trade Center Memorial Foundation's board.
"The fact that these four esteemed former leaders of our country have agreed to lend their efforts to the foundation will help propel the creation of a fitting and lasting tribute to those we lost at the World Trade Center," a source familiar with the foundation told The News.
The memorial design was unveiled more than 10 months ago, but officials have had trouble finding a high-powered leader for the gargantuan fund-raising effort.
The foundation needs to raise between $400 million and $600million for the construction of the memorial and two cultural buildings at Ground Zero.
Pataki and Mayor Bloomberg are scheduled to announce who will spearhead the foundation within the next two weeks.
In January, when the memorial design was unveiled, John Whitehead, chairman of the Lower Manhattan Development Corp., and others said they expected a formal launch of the board later that month.
In May, Pataki planned to announce that Citigroup Chairman Sandy Weill and mega-developer Jerry Speyer had agreed to serve as co-chairmen. But both men, citing time constraints, ended up turning it down.
More than 20 people - a mix of victims' family members, business leaders and civic leaders - now have agreed to serve on the board.
During today's speech, Pataki is also expected to provide an update on the progress of rebuilding lower Manhattan. He will largely focus on an "aggressive timetable" for building the memorial and the cultural plans for Ground Zero, a source familiar with the speech said.

I just started binging on this one recently. Man, it is pretty fucking good. Best ST I have ever watched, IMHO. Season three tells one long story with a few side episodes. It was great. I poo-pooed this show after watching the first two or three episodes back in the day. I think I decided that I would give it a few years before I would watch it again, because that was generally how long it took every other ST show to get interesting. Then it cancelled in year 4. Well, let me tell you this is a great ST show.
However, once I am done with this last season, I will have watched every minute of ST in existence.

International Airport | GEOG26 | Released: 29/08/04
'Inviting people into your home for the first time is a special moment. You and your family are saying "this is how we live, come and share it for a while".' International Airport, June 2004. Reunion Of Island Goose is International Airport's long-awaited follow-up to their brilliant debut, Nothing We Can Control. Like that album, Reunion is both complex and playful; a Caledonian folk psych which touches on memories of Orange Juice, Os Mutantes, and a less urbane Pavement. It is a record with a strong sense of nature and melody, and of strong compositions which seem to sway in the wind even as the musicians note the notes, and endeavour to send them out into the world. Group leader, Tom Crossley is a multi-instrumentalist and contributor to The Pastels, and the other main participants are long-time member, Stephen Aston on guitar and vocals, and Annabel Crossley ('Aggi'), on bass, vocals, and cover artwork. It has a vocal cameo from Alasdair Roberts on Association, and some ethnic instrumentation. Reunion has a beautiful close sound and was recorded in various West of Scotland locations, including East Kilbride Arts Centre, with David Scott; and Chicago, with Tom flying out to mix with John McEntire in his famous Soma Studio. International Airport's music always seems very personal to Tom; in fact it's exactly like Tom. International Airport's rhythms are the way that Tom walks down the street; the words are like his soft burr imparting great knowledge even as it trails off into the void. Really Tom is not only the auteur of the music, but of the Airport world. Other people who play in the group not only tune into this, but become part of it. In the past this has only added to the lore which surrounds them in Glasgow, where most of the original lineup were famous for living in a flat where no-one was ever heard to speak. Tom taught his friends to play instruments he seemed barely to have grasped himself, making something equal part musical and unmusical, which we now see has some similarities to Tori Kudo's design for Maher Shalal Hash Baz. If the first International Airport album, Nothing We Can Control, succeeded by scaling down into more manageable parts, Reunion somehow catches more of those triumphant moments in the early concerts when it would suddenly come together and you realised you were watching the best band in town. Reunion is chaotic and idealistic: in places it isn't neat, and you may worry that you're rambling without a map, but don't worry, it's about to get extravagantly rewarding as you move from this field to the next. Reunion Of Island Goose is a record that we at Geographic feel privileged to release, and we will precede it with a single, Association. Teenage Fanclub are already associating; they are as we speak recording a cover version of the song for the flip.

EWG News and Analysis
The latest from EWG's staff of experts >>
Mining, Asbestos Giant Files Chapter 11
Asarco, a subsidiary of mining conglomerate Grupo Mexico, filed for bankruptcy Wednesday, leaving taxpayers holding the bag on an estimated $1 billion in environmental cleanups in a dozen states that the company has dragged its feet on for more than a decade. The copper mining company has also been implicated in 95,000 personal-injury asbestos lawsuits.
Chapter 11 bankruptcy means that local communities are the big losers -- mines shut down and jobs are lost even as corporate executives restructure the company and continue to make profits. Of the 70-some American companies that have been "ruined" by asbestos lawsuits, even cautionary tale W.R. Grace is still operational.
Read more from the Seattle Times, and take a look at EWG's work on asbestos.

This Week's Best Dress Is Just. So. Pretty.
Diane Kruger's gown is definitely deserving of her "best dressed" title this week
There are weeks where we are totally surprised by your choice for Best Dressed Star. Maybe the dress was a little out there, or perhaps there's someone else who was just so good that we can't believe they didn't win. This is not one of those weeks.
Diane Kruger absolutely deserved her runaway "Best Dressed" victory in this exquisite Valentino Couture gown, worn to the designer's Venice ball. Her blush pink, embroidered and beaded dress had shades of Grace Kelly (as does the willowly blonde herself!).
But true to fashionista form, Kruger updated the classic look with loose locks and a fuchsia clutch — and took full advantage of its sheer pockets — to make the elegant work of art look as easy to wear as a pair of jeans.
So tell us: Do you think Kruger deserved this week's top spot? If not, are you nuts? We mean, if not, who did?

text: Waste Management THEMESENVIRONMENT AND CLIMATEWASTE MANAGEMENT Research suggests that as much as 40 per cent of the world's waste could be subject to open burning, where unwanted materials found in waste such as paper, trees, brush, leaves, grass and other debris are burnt openly, releasing smoke and toxins directly into the air. These emissions of toxins in the air can be breathed in or ingested following settlement on crops or consumption by domestic livestock. Dumped waste is also a major cause of diarrhoeal diseases. These toxins have been estimated to cause 270,000 premature deaths globally each year. Cost-benefit assessment of community-based recycling and waste management, Tearfund, 2018 However, a holistic approach to waste management could stop the use of this harmful practice, preventing further damage to the health of populations and to our climate. Integrated Resource Recovery Centres (IRRCs) These are one example of a community-based recycling scheme. The model originated in Bangladesh in 2007, and was pioneered by the NGO Waste Concern. It has since been replicated in other East Asian countries. IRRCs provide an inclusive, market-based approach to waste management, offering safer and more lucrative employment for waste pickers, as well as significant health and environmental benefits for the community. The approach is ideal for informal settlements in fast-growing cities, as well as in secondary cities and towns. The IRRC intervenes along three axes: with households in the community to introduce regular (almost daily) waste collection and encourage waste separation at source; with waste pickers to manage door-to-door collection and operate a community-based processing plant, and with consumers and downstream businesses to sell organic compost and recyclables.

Deception detection
Deception detection aims to automatically detect and infer the intentions behind deceptive actions. Our objectives are to 1) develop a framework for categorizing and classifying errors that may be committed by an expert, since not all errors are deception; and 2) design algorithms for automatic deception detection capable of providing detailed evidential information and explanation of deception intent, plus analysis of the deception's impact. Like insider threat, deception detection can occur in any number of scenarios and domains, and insider threat and deception detection are often interrelated.

DailyDirt: Playing Games With Your Brain
from the urls-we-dig-up deptWho wouldn't want to improve their brain function simply by playing some games or doing some brain training exercises? (If doing homework or reading counts as a brain training exercise, though, there are plenty of students who don't seem to want to better their brains.) Brain games are getting popular (have you seen any Lumosity ads recently?), and there are already plenty of educational software programs for skills like learning foreign languages. Some of these brain games claim to help you maintain your cognitive skills as you get older, and there's even some evidence that these claims could be true. Here are just a few examples of brain games that could help keep us all mentally fit for decades to come.
- A 10-year long study of older adults shows that certain kinds of brain training exercises can have long-lasting, measurable (and beneficial) effects. Hundreds of volunteers (2,832) were divided into four groups for a control group and groups receiving memory, reasoning, and speed-of-processing training -- and the groups with reasoning and speed training showed significantly less decline in those cognitive skills. Unfortunately, it looks like memory training doesn't slow memory loss as we age.... [url]
- People over 60 might want to consider playing some brain training video games for a few weeks. Researchers created a (kinda lame) video game called NeuroRacer, and elderly volunteers who played it showed improvements in memory, attention and multi-tasking abilities. [url]
- Brain training video games are a multi-million-dollar industry, but the actual benefits of commercial brain games have yet to be rigorously studied -- or if they've been studied, the games show little to no real benefits. Hopefully, game makers will eventually succeed in making games that match their brain-boosting claims. [url]

I have been promising them for a looong time and they are well overdue but they are still coming! We hired a new programmer to help speed things along. We have a deadline of July 7th to have everything completed. Aside from a few of the features that have been requested, the biggest difference will be speed. Gotop100 has grown so much lately that it is slowing down the server which I am sure you have all noticed. This is the main issue that the new software will address.
I'll announce the new features, etc closer to the actual launch date

The respiratory system does not carry out its physiological function (of gas exchange) until after birth. The respiratory tract, diaphragm and lungs do form early in embryonic development. The respiratory tract is divided anatomically into 2 main parts:
- upper respiratory tract, consisting of the nose, nasal cavity and the pharynx
- lower respiratory tract consisting of the larynx, trachea, bronchi and the lungs.
In the head/neck region, the pharynx forms a major arched cavity within the phrayngeal arches. The lungs go through 4 distinct histological phases of development and in late fetal development thyroid hormone, respiratory motions and amniotic fliud are thought to have a role in lung maturation. The two main respiratory cell types, squamous alveolar type 1 and alveolar type 2 (surfactant secreting), both arise from the same bi-potetial progenitor cell.[1] The third main cell type are macrophages (dust cells) that arise from blood monocyte cells.
Development of this system is not completed until the last weeks of Fetal development, just before birth. Therefore premature babies have difficulties associated with insufficient surfactant (end month 6 alveolar cells type 2 appear and begin to secrete surfactant).

Development Overview
|Human Embryonic Lung Development
|CRL 4.3 mm, Week 4-5, Stage 12 to 13
|CRL 8.5 mm, Week 5, Stage 15 to 16
|CRL 10.5 mm, Week 6 Stage 16 to 17
Week 4 - laryngotracheal groove forms on floor foregut.
Week 5 - left and right lung buds push into the pericardioperitoneal canals (primordia of pleural cavity)
Week 6 - descent of heart and lungs into thorax. Pleuroperitoneal foramen closes.
Week 7 - enlargement of liver stops descent of heart and lungs.
Month 3-6 - lungs appear glandular, end month 6 alveolar cells type 2 appear and begin to secrete surfactant.
Month 7 - respiratory bronchioles proliferate and end in alveolar ducts and sacs.
Lung Development Stages
The sequence is most important rather than the actual timing, which is variable in the existing literature.
|Lung Stage
|week 4 to 5
|lung buds originate as an outgrowth from the ventral wall of the foregut where lobar division occurs
|extra pulmonary artery then lobular artery
|week 5 to 17
|conducting epithelial tubes surrounded by thick mesenchyme are formed, extensive airway branching
|Pre-acinar arteries
|week 16 to 25
|bronchioles are produced, increasing number of capillaries in close contact with cuboidal epithelium and the beginning of alveolar epithelium development
|Intra-acinar arteries
|week 24 to 40
|alveolar ducts and air sacs are developed
|alveolar duct arteries
|late fetal to 8 years
|secondary septation occurs, marked increase of the number and size of capillaries and alveoli
|alveolar capillaries
|embryonic stage - pseudoglandular stage - canalicular stage - saccular stage - alveolar stage Links: Species Stage Comparison | respiratory
- Endoderm - tubular ventral growth from foregut pharynx.
- Mesoderm - mesenchyme of lung buds.
- Intraembryonic coelom - pleural cavities elongated spaces connecting pericardial and peritoneal spaces.
Pseudoglandular stage
Human lung pseudoglandular stage[9]
Canalicular stage
- week 16 - 24
- Lung morphology changes dramatically
- differentiation of the pulmonary epithelium results in the formation of the future air-blood tissue barrier.
- Surfactant synthesis and the canalization of the lung parenchyma by capillaries begin.
- future gas exchange regions can be distinguished from the future conducting airways of the lungs.
Saccular stage
Alveolar sac structure
Alveolar stage
Premature babies have difficulties associated with insufficient surfactant (end month 6 alveolar cells type 2 appear and begin to secrete surfactant).

Pulmonary neuroendocrine cells (PNECs)
- develop in late embryonic to early fetal period.[16][17]
- later in mid-fetal period clusters of these cells form neuroepithelial bodies (NEBs).
- first cell type to differentiate in the airway epithelium.
- differentiation regulated by proneural genes - mammalian homolog of the achaete-scute complex (Mash-1) and hairy and enhancer of split1 (Hes-1).[18]
- located in the fetal lung at bronchiole branching points.
- may stimulate mitosis to increase branching.
- secrete 2 peptides - gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) and calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP)

Lung Histology
|Fetal lung histology
Birth Changes
At birth the lung epithelium changes from a prenatal secretory to a postnatal absorptive function. Several factors have been identified as influencing this transport change including: epinephrine, oxygen, glucocorticoids, and thyroid hormones (for review see [19])
Upper Respiratory Tract
- part of foregut development
- anatomically the nose, nasal cavity and the pharynx
- the pharynx forms a major arched cavity within the pharyngeal arches
The animations below allow a comparison of early and late embryonic lung development. Compare the size and relative position of the respiratory structures and their anatomical relationship to the developing gastrointestinal tract.

Lung Cardiovascular
Pulmonary Circulation
- pulmonary arteries and veins arise by vasculogenesis[20]
Pulmonary Veins
- vasculogenesis in the mesenchyme surrounding the terminal buds during the pseudoglandular stage.
- vasculogenesis - describes the formation of new blood vessels from pluripotent precursor cells.
- angiogenesis in the canalicular and alveolar stages.
- angiogenesis - describes the formation of new vessels from pre-existing vessels.
See also review [21]
Bronchial Circulation
Bronchial Arteries
- vascularising the walls of the airways and the large pulmonary vessels providing giving oxygen and nutrients.
- extend within the bronchial tree to the periphery of the alveolar ducts.
- not found in the lungs until around 8 weeks of gestation.
- one or two small vessels extend from the dorsal aorta and run into the lung alongside the cartilage plates of the main bronchus.
Bronchial Veins
- small bronchial veins within the airway wall drain into the pulmonary veins.
- large bronchial veins seen close to the hilum and drain into the cardinal veins and the right atrium.
See review [21]
- Nkx2-1 (Titf1) - ventral wall of the anterior foregut, identifies the future trachea.
- Localized Fgf10 expression not required for lung branching but prevents epithelial differentiation[24] "As the lung buds grow out, proximal epithelial cells become further and further displaced from the distal source of Fgf10 and differentiate into bronchial epithelial cells. Interestingly, our data presented here show that once epithelial cells are committed to the Sox2-positive airway epithelial cell fate, Fgf10 prevents ciliated cell differentiation and promotes basal cell differentiation."
- Opposing Fgf and Bmp activities regulate the specification of olfactory sensory and respiratory epithelial cell fates[25] " In this study, we provide evidence that in both chick and mouse, Bmp signals promote respiratory epithelial character, whereas Fgf signals are required for the generation of sensory epithelial cells. Moreover, olfactory placodal cells can switch between sensory and respiratory epithelial cell fates in response to Fgf and Bmp activity, respectively. Our results provide evidence that Fgf activity suppresses and restricts the ability of Bmp signals to induce respiratory cell fate in the nasal epithelium."
- Heparan sulfate in lung morphogenesis[26] "Heparan sulfate (HS) is a structurally complex polysaccharide located on the cell surface and in the extracellular matrix, where it participates in numerous biological processes through interactions with a vast number of regulatory proteins such as growth factors and morphogens. ...he potential contribution of HS to abnormalities of lung development has yet to be explored to any significant extent, which is somewhat surprising given the abnormal lung phenotype exhibited by mutant mice synthesizing abnormal HS."
- Signaling via Alk5 controls the ontogeny of lung Clara cells[27] "Clara cells, together with ciliated and pulmonary neuroendocrine cells, make up the epithelium of the bronchioles along the conducting airways. Clara cells are also known as progenitor or stem cells during lung regeneration after injury. ...Using lung epithelial cells, we show that Alk5-regulated Hes1 expression is stimulated through Pten and the MEK/ERK and PI3K/AKT pathways. Thus, the signaling pathway by which TGFbeta/ALK5 regulates Clara cell differentiation may entail inhibition of Pten expression, which in turn activates ERK and AKT phosphorylation."
- Wt1 and retinoic acid signaling in the subcoelomic mesenchyme control the development of the pleuropericardial membranes and the sinus horns[28] "Pericardium and sinus horn formation are coupled and depend on the expansion and correct temporal release of pleuropericardial membranes from the underlying subcoelomic mesenchyme. Wt1 and downstream Raldh2/retinoic acid signaling are crucial regulators of this process."

Fan in critical condition after fall at ACC championship game
Authorities say a spectator has life-threatening injuries after falling about 40 feet from a ramp outside Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte on Saturday night at the ACC Championship football game between No. 13 Florida State and Georgia Tech.
The mother of 22-year-old Sean Powers of Florida tells CNN her son slipped over a rail after stopping to take a picture.
She said her son is in critical condition.
Michael Stanford, the supervisor of special operations for Mecklenburg County EMS, says his agency responded to an incident in which a spectator fell from the ramp leading to the stands shortly after the 8 p.m. kickoff.
The fall is the first of its kind from Bank of America Stadium, home of the Carolina Panthers.
The stadium opened in 1996.
Stanford says the spectator was transported by ground to the trauma center at Carolinas Medical Center with "life-threatening injuries."
