1.3 million Earths fit into the Sun. The Sun is huge. The solar energy reaching the Earth is 5000 times the energy we use globally. We reached 150 GW solar global PV demand this month. Some countries increased their solar capacity 5000-16000 times in 22 years.
Solar ☼☼ energy can power the whole planet many times over thru solar windows, walls, roofs, roads, car paint, solar-electric cars-planes-ships-trains and battery storage. This would eliminate arsenic, mercury, sulfur and other forms of pollution and increase life expectancy by many years. Here are some recent exciting solar power-electric car news:
1. The Cost Of Solar Has Dropped 100 times Since 1977, Bringing Solar Power To Grid Parity in many areas. More than half the present global solar PV capacity was installed in the last 3 years. 74% of new US electrical capacity came from solar in the first quarter of 2014 ► http://costofsolar.com/residential-solar-us-edges-commercial-solar-q1-2014/. First Solar says solar module costs will halve over the next few years ► http://reneweconomy.com.au/2014/solar-costs-to-halve-as-gas-prices-surge-27907. The age of renewables has begun, according to Citigroup ► http://reneweconomy.com.au/2014/citigroup-says-the-age-of-renewables-has-begun-69852. Morgan Stanley says that we are nearing the tipping point for going off-grid with solar/wind/green power, battery storage and electric cars ► http://reneweconomy.com.au/2014/say-investors-wake-solar-pro-sumers-24413
2. Solar power sells now at 5c/kwh - cheaper than 7c for natural gas and 10 cents for coal in many places as shown by this latest SunEdison contract for 150MW ► http://reneweconomy.com.au/2014/cheapest-solar-sunedison-sells-solar-pv-output-at-5ckwh-25296.
3. January 2014 Nissan Leaf electric car sales went up 118% compared to 2013 in the US ► http://evobsession.com/us-nissan-leaf-sales-increase-118-takes-1-spot-us-electric-car-sales. In Norway Leaf sales doubled too. The Nissan LEAF set a new monthly sales record in May 2014 in the US, at 3117, making it the clear leader, well ahead of the Tesla.
4. A German state reached 120% electricity from renewables in 2013 ► http://www.renewablesinternational.net/german-state-already-has-120-percent-renewable-power/150/537/79680 and another state is about to reach 100% renewables energy in 2014 ► http://www.renewablesinternational.net/german-state-to-go-100-renewable-power-this-year/150/537/79472/. Japan launched $0.1 billion program to support battery storage for solar panels ► http://reneweconomy.com.au/2014/japan-launches-battery-storage-subsidy-homes-business-51085
5. Nissan LEAF Was Best Selling Car In Norway Again In January ► http://insideevs.com/nissan-leaf-is-best-selling-car-in-norway-again-in-january. The fleet of electric vehicles in Norway is the largest per capita in the world, with Oslo recognized as the EV capital of the world. In 2013 the market penetration of the EV segment reached 4 plug-in electric vehicles per 1,000 people, nine times higher than the United States, the US being the country where half of world's electric cars are.
6. California installed more solar power in 2013 than in all previous 30 years combined ► http://goo.gl/04sUxv. China plans to install 14 GW (more than the US total capacity now) of solar in 2014 ► http://goo.gl/XoKPoK. India almost doubled its solar capacity in 2013 ► http://goo.gl/EPK5xL. :) China already installed in 2013 about 12 GW, more than the US installed before 2013 and in 2013 combined ► http://goo.gl/E9lxaI. Japanese solar capacity increased 350% in 2013 versus 2012 ► http://goo.gl/4pI89e, and 20 GW of utility solar is approved ► http://goo.gl/6CbBjL.
7. US is in the process of installing 43 GW of solar - enough to power 6 million homes ► http://goo.gl/Qbkunh. In October 2013, 99% of new electric power capacity in US came from renewable sources ► http://www.ferc.gov/legal/staff-reports/2013/oct-energy-infrastructure.pdf. In November, 100% of new electric capacity in US came from renewables ► http://www.ferc.gov/legal/staff-reports/2013/nov-energy-infrastructure.pdf. 50% electricity from wind in Iowa will be real soon due to $1 billion turbine December order ►http://goo.gl/uJ4bdY.
8. Due to price drops you can invest 7k now and get 50k over 40 years. solar is the best one time investment you can make. www.freecleansolar.com is probably one of the cheapest ways anyone in USA can install solar panels. $2/watt plus install and $500 in permits etc. They are where little guys buy their panels at wholesale. They connect you with local installers who do it all if you don't like installs. It costs now only 13k to buy and install a 5kw system. Plus you get 30% back as tax credit. It costs 10k if you choose a local electrician, as they charge 2000 not 5000 as the professional dolar installers for installing it. 10k means 7k after tax credit. That means for 7k you can eliminate 50000 in electricity costs over next 40 years. To me this is a perfect deal. Utilities limit your system to 5kw or so depending on how much you use. If you go to solarcity or others you end up paying 50-80% more. Panels on the roof make your house easier to sell. You can google "cheapest solar installers in your country" and take a step towards saving money and the environment.
9. In Scotland 100% renewable energy by 2025 is the goal ►
http://ecolocalizer.com/2010/09/29/scotland-aiming-for-100-clean-energy-by-2025/. Tasmania has set a 100% renewable energy in 2020 goal ► http://goo.gl/3VfHOV. The Philippines also has a 100% renewable energy in 10 years target ► http://goo.gl/bZoeh.

11. In October 2013 France has made its natural gas fracking ban absolute, in a victory for supporters of solar ► http://thinkprogress.org/climate/2013/10/11/2773071/france-frack-ban/. Fracking causes small earthquakes, poisons ground water and air and makes millions of people sick ► Fracking Loophole Linked To Pollution Of Drinking Water. On December 19, France approved taxing fossil fuels to speed up solar deployment ► http://goo.gl/6J3eXC.
12. Sao Paulo, with a metropolitan area of 20 million people, has set 70% electricity from renewables by 2020 goal ► http://goo.gl/JhmSlG. China plans to reach 35 GW solar capacity by 2015 ► http://goo.gl/18zxzS. 53% of China's new power capacity in the first 10 months of 2013 came from renewables http://goo.gl/UIUptq.
13. Turkey's Feed in Tariff Program for solar greater than 1 MW led to applications totaling 9 GW ► http://goo.gl/b8tJ2. Coal India, world's largest coal company, believes the future is renewables and started installing solar panels at their facilities ► http://goo.gl/NXEOv.
14. California town of Lancaster requires all new homes to come with installed solar panels ► http://goo.gl/t22RF. 20% of new homes in California will come with solar panels and most new electricity installed in California will be solar next 6 months.
For the benefits of installing solar power on your roof, see *http://costofsolar.com*. For more solar statistics and good news, you can read below:
Figure 6 at ► http://goo.gl/bcCGh shows a graph of Shell Oil predicting solar energy will be main source of energy in 2070. If even Oil companies admit to it, it means it will happen so much sooner. Solar could reach 90% in 2025 if the world gets serious about eliminating pollution from smog by ending billions of Big Oil-Gas-Coal taxpayer subsidies and supporting solar instead. The Italian solar capacity increased 150 times from 2007 to 2011 ► http://goo.gl/YZGkE. The German solar capacity increased 16000 times from 1991 to 2012 ► http://goo.gl/qulHp. Pollution causes 40% of deaths ► http://goo.gl/2sXL3, it is therefore a matter of public health to switch to solar energy. We can use solar car paint, walls, roads ► Focus Forward Series: Solar Roadways, roofs, shingles ► solar shingle, windows ► Solar windows see power savings with no transmission lines that add EMF pollution & take space.
In April 2013, Spain generated 54% electricity from renewables ► http://goo.gl/8xbJ9. On June 9th 2014 Germany produced 50% electricity from solar ► http://www.thelocal.de/20140619/germany-produces-half-of-electricity-needs-with-solar-power.
Distributed ► http://goo.gl/uz7o0 rooftop solar eliminates a lot of EMF pollution coming from transmission lines and gives more power to the people instead of Big Utilities. Solar can hit grid parity in many nations fast, all US in 2018 ► http://goo.gl/J0Z83. In March 2013 100% of new US capacity was solar ► http://goo.gl/Amj4G. In 2013 Portugal reached 70% electricity from renewables ► http://goo.gl/aQUJx and India solar achieved grid parity ► http://goo.gl/1Itzd. :)

Fossil fuels are on the way out in EU ► http://goo.gl/x7Uxt. Italian and German solar power reached grid parity a while ago ► http://thinkprogress.org/climate/2014/03/24/3418145/solar-grid-parity-italy-germany/.
Future Fusion can be safe, it's how the sun generates energy. But present nuclear energy is too dangerous, Thorium included ► http://phys.org/news/2012-12-thorium-proliferation-nuclear-wonder-fuel.html. Some say Fukushima is worse than Chernobyl ► Has the Fukushima "China Syndrome" begun?, hence Japan is now ramping up solar power a lot. Chernobyl Decay and Deformed shows the effects of current nuclear tech gone bad.
Coal can be replaced with solar immediately:) as a public health priority ► The Cost of Coal: Overview. In China's worst areas, smog makes people live only 4 decades ► BBC News - China's Grime Belt Air Pollution Extreme. Coal-fired plants lead to birth defects in China, see the 2 min video ► China Sees Rise in Birth Defects. In all nations, including USA, people near coal-fired plants often die of cancer at 45 or so, see the 10 min video ► EXPOSED: Koch Industries and Cancer Risk. Coal pollution leads to cancer, asthma, autism (mercury), etc. Clean coal doesn't exist ► Robert Kennedy Jr.: No clean coal.
Ark Hotel Construction time lapse building 15 storeys in 2 days (48 hrs) shows how tall buildings are built in 2 days. The surface area of these buildings' exterior is far bigger than that of a solar farm on the building site, sometimes 50 times bigger. http://landartgenerator.org/blagi/archives/127 shows it takes a small area to power the planet given the cheap 15% efficiency panels. The total urban areas represent about 2% of the global land surface. 60% of urban areas is roofs and pavements that could have solar panels embedded in them. When we add the exterior of the buildings, we get 20 times more energy than we use today if we use the cheapest 15% efficiency panels. We already have 40% efficiency panels and can reach 60% with IR. There are panels that produce 20 times more energy per square foot, so that means 20 times less area needed ► http://goo.gl/vA3Oz. More info at http://v3solar.com. MIT also invented a solar array that can produce up to 20 times more power per surface area ► http://goo.gl/aacAs.
The 3 min video Solar Nanoantennas shows how in the future we will be able to convert solar IR rays into electricity at night and during very cloudy days. :) With good battery storage, we can save the day time solar power for use at night and during eclipses.
Solar power + electric cars = no smog. http://solarimpulse.com shows a solar plane. Here are some more electric car news:
In September-October 2013 the top selling car in Norway has been an electric model too like in January 2014, in September the Tesla Model S, in October the Nissan Leaf ► http://goo.gl/GqjLMY. Kia EV will have 120 miles range ► http://goo.gl/Tqz3U8. For a few months, South Korea has already used roads to charge electric cars ► http://goo.gl/12IgSG. US electric car sales increased 360% in 2013 compared to 2012 ► http://goo.gl/uLc5yV. Bhutan - with an income per capita lower than China or Russia and 7 times lower than United States - plans as of November 2013 to shift all cars of its capital to electric Nissan Leafs and other models ► http://goo.gl/Iql06c Countries richer than Bhutan could aim to switch most big cities to electric cars. China decided in November that 40% of new cars in Beijing will be hybrids or electric by 2017 ► http://goo.gl/U7cjEe. After rebates, one can buy a Leaf for 18K or lease it for $139/month at some dealers. In Europe they are testing a bus that can charge in 15 seconds ► http://goo.gl/9OT75. In November, 12% of new cars sold were electric in Norway ► http://goo.gl/3gZQtK.
some reasons for buying your next car electric:
1. help humanity since you no longer generate carcinogenic exhaust, otherwise known as smog, which kills millions of people each year ► http://goo.gl/jDj0hI and leads to lower IQ ► http://goo.gl/alNQIk and autism ► http://goo.gl/66nqwr.
2. save lives since you reduce heart attacks caused by traffic noise ► http://goo.gl/Fuhvn. Electric cars are much quieter.
3. save humanity from oil wars that destroy the environment and kill countless civilians. Iraq war trillions could have powered all US with solar/wind ► http://goo.gl/ZqN47.
4. you no longer have to change oil or spark plugs; no more smog check either; electric cars have 60% less parts, so you will go for repairs much less. Combustion engines are noisy and only 15% efficient; electric motors are 90% efficient.
5. bring the end of gas stations that poison the water wells with MTBE or other compounds leading to billions of dollars wasted in cleaning up the well water (example: $0.4 billion settlement ► http://goo.gl/eKasZD)
6. save money as you spend 4 times less money on fuel, since electricity is 4 times cheaper than gasoline as a fuel. If you have enough solar panels, you get free CLEAN fuel for life, since you charge at home and utilities pay you for energy you put on the grid. Likewise, Tesla Motors offers free solar ☼ charging for life ► Tesla Motors Supercharger Event?
7. save money for noble purposes because electric cars are cheaper than many oil cars after the federal and state rebates: in Colorado, you can buy a Nissan Leaf for only 15, 000, while in most other states for 18-21, 000. A Smart EV costs only $12, 000 in Colorado, see http://smartusa.com. Mitsubishi i-MieV is only $13, 000 in California and $10, 000 in Colorado ► http://www.evworld.com/news.cfm?rssid=31881.
8. electric car batteries and solar panels are far greener than alternatives. Battery recycling for today's oil car lead batteries is happening at a 97% rate globally. It will be even better for the far safer lithium car batteries. Lithium Ion batteries are classified by the federal government as non-hazardous waste. Lithium ion batteries are made from nontoxic lithium carbonate (used in ovenware), nontoxic cobalt oxide (in pottery glaze), nontoxic graphite (in pencils), and a polymer (plastic) membrane. The most toxic components are the electrolyte and lithium cobalt oxide, neither of which are persistent in the environment and both of which are increasingly being replaced by safer compounds. Wang Chuan-Fu, CEO of BYD, demonstrated the safety of the electrolyte in their lithium ion batteries by drinking it. Zero Motorcycles founder Neal Saiki said that the Lithium Ion batteries they use are safe to eat.
Solar is way better than coal, oil or natural gas which spew 100-1000 times more carcinogens in the environment per unit of energy produced, besides far more CO2. How long does a solar panel system have to operate to recover the energy used for making the panel? Energy payback for rooftop panels is 1-4 years depending on type. Assuming a life of 30 years for a panel, that means that most energy produced will be free from pollution of any sort ► http://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy04osti/35489.pdf.

"Chinook Winds Casino & Convention Center" Lincoln City Tourist Trap Tip by mcpangie
Lincoln City Tourist Traps: 2 reviews and 1 photos
An Indian Casino with a view that goes on and on forever!
I laughed inwardly while eating in the Rogue River restaurant upstairs, seated next to a table with sweeping views of the beach and surf. I asked our server if the mouth of the Rogue River was nearby, and she said... "No, that's the Pacific Ocean out there." She assumed I was a dumb tourist I suppose... but I was kind of laughing at her misunderstanding me.
Unique Suggestions: I found the slots to be "tight", which probably means I gamble too much! Maybe more fun in the poker room, or if considered entertainment.
Fun Alternatives: I saw people taking a break from gambling to go down to the beach and walk around on the sand and watch the waves.

Brunt of winter storm 'Nemo' expected in other parts of New EnglandBy Josh O'Gorman
Staff Writer | February 07,2013Vermonters and visitors to the state will be treated to a wintry weekend but will be spared the full and mighty wrath of winter storm Nemo.
The first major storm of 2013 is expected to pummel parts of Massachusetts, and southern regions of New Hampshire and Maine with more than two feet of snow, but snowfall totals for most of Vermont are expected to fall far shy of that mark.

Forecasters are calling for between 7 inches and 10 inches of snow to fall across the state, beginning Friday morning and continuing until Saturday afternoon.

Expired Online Pass codes found in new copies of EA games
A NeoGAF user has discovered that the EA Online Pass voucher in his brand new copy of Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit has expired, thus locking him out of the game's multiplayer modes.
It seems other users on the forum have experienced the same issue and called attention to the fine print located on the voucher, which states that they can, indeed, expire.
Shack did a bit of digging, and noted that EA forum users have been complaining about the situation since October, and tested the claim themselves with new copies Hot Pursuit, Medal of Honor, and MMA – none of which worked.
A Sony spokesperson, when asked, told the site that: "The system doesn't flush out older codes…any code with an expiration date is defined by the publisher," which means platform holder will honor publisher codes and the parameters set by said publishers.
Shack also read through EA's ToS agreement, finding that the firm can "retire online features" after 30 days if it sees fit.In other words, if you can't afford to buy a game right off, it's your own fault for not being loaded to the gills with green.
EA has commented to Joystiq on the matter, stating that if the pass included in the new game is expired, users can download a new pass or attain one from EA directly. Granted, it's an annoying extra step legitimate buyers shouldn't have to take, but at least it is better than no multiplayer at all.

Hello Ebon,To approach your larger question, what are the real reasons people believe or disbelieve, I've offered a bulletized list for anyone who's interested in pursuing this question:Some people do not believe in God for a variety of honestly considered reasons. Some people resent the Christian church's involvement in politics, usually the Christian right's involvement in the Republican Party. Atheism provides a natural outlet for this resentment, and becomes an attractive choice on … [Read more...]
A Dialogue with Quixote, Part IV
A Dialogue with Quixote
Since its inception, Daylight Atheism has been first and foremost a platform for atheist thought. We've had plenty of theist commenters, but never an entire post written by a theist - until now.Some of you may recognize Quixote, who's been a commenter here for some time. There have been many theists commenting on Daylight Atheism whose beliefs I've strongly disagreed with, and (I like to think) many theists whom I've been able to converse with in a spirit of civility and friendship, but I … [Read more...]
A World in Shadow VI
In 2006 and 2007, I wrote several entries in a series called A World in Shadow, bolstering the atheist's argument from evil by describing particularly shocking or egregious instances of natural and moral evils. However, I haven't written any new entries for this series in some time.To be honest, I stopped writing these posts because I found them too upsetting. There are more than enough - far too many - examples of tragedy and catastrophe in this world to make the case against a benevolent … [Read more...]
Rebutting Reasonable Faith: Free Will and Evil
A correspondent to William Lane Craig's Reasonable Faith column writes in with a very good question, one that atheists have often raised:An acquaintance of mine recently asked me why it is necessary that we be able to choose evil for us to have free will, while it is not necessary that God be able to choose evil for Him to have free will....I cannot explain why, if God could create us free without the capacity to choose evil, He did not do so (especially given the fact that we are created … [Read more...]
Thoughts on the Soul-Making Theodicy
In "All Possible Worlds", I wrote about the various religious responses to the problem of evil. Today, I want to say some more words about one of the common theodicies, the "teaching" or "soul-making" theodicy, as it's defended in the Christian tradition. This theodicy holds that experiencing and resisting evil is the only way to produce the kind of genuine moral development and strength of character that God desires.In the Christian view, one could imagine that the universe is like a testing … [Read more...]
Poetry Sunday: Design
This month's Poetry Sunday features another classic by a famous poet who's already made an appearance: Robert Frost, the skeptical New Englander whose work has become iconic of the American experience.Frost's views on God are complex. In some of his letters, he calls himself "an old dissenter", "secular till the last go down", and said there were "no vampires, no ghouls, no demons, nothing but me". In others, he expresses belief in and even fear of God, whom he usually identifies as the … [Read more...]
Evolution and the Problem of Evil

On the Possibility of Perfect Humanity
Last month, in "An Impoverished Infinity", I wrote about the strange limitations that many Christian believers impose on God.

An Impoverished Infinity
In Christian theology, God is presented as the omnipotent creator, able to bring about literally any world it is possible to imagine. His power has no limits, he never suffers from weakness or fatigue, and he possesses the omniscient knowledge necessary to shape the world according to his overarching plan.Or so Christian apologists say, anyway. Yet when we atheists challenge them with the problem of evil, asking why a benevolent creator would bring about a world where disease and disaster … [Read more...]

5. The Ravens should return soon
I hate to be that blogger, but it looks as if the Orioles will soon be overshadowed by their younger brothers, the Ravens, once again. The NFL lockout is likely to be lifted in the next week or two, and you can bank on football-loving Baltimore forgiving and forgetting before training camp. The Orioles are in danger of becoming irrelevant, an annual rite of summer, but their strong finish a year ago gives us hope that they can do it again in 2011.The Baltimore Sun

Home At Last by Billy Ray Cyrus
Billy Ray has been cranking out appealing albums for the last few years without attracting a whole lot of attention.
But his massive TV exposure of the past year—co-starring in daughter Miley's hit show Hannah Montana, hoofing his way into America's hearts on Dancing With the Stars—means that Home at Last will likely be heard by a generation of listeners who scarcely remember "Achy Breaky Heart."
What those new fans get here is a thoughtful set of songs about family and fatherhood, needlessly supplemented by a few too many covers of overly familiar pop and rock classics.

Re: Jim Hendry Signs Four Year Extension
I said he should lose his job if the Cubs failed to win the pennant.
I retract but remain skeptical that he'll be here four more years.
Good luck, Jim, and no more heart attacks please.
Re: Jim Hendry Signs Four Year Extension
Hendry made almost all the right moves in this nearly-magical 2008 season. It is unfortunate that the team monumentally choked when it really mattered. This is hard to assess blame on him for the failure.
Re: Jim Hendry Signs Four Year Extension
Three division titles in six years, with an increased level of talent the last two (going along with a higher payroll). Yet "Teflon Jim survives." We all want a World Series title, but it clearly isn't as easy as wishing for it. Hendry's done his job quite well.
Re: Jim Hendry Signs Four Year Extension
If we dont have the right assets to land Jake Peavy, then Hendry is a failure as a GM. Haren, Sabathia, Santana have all been dealt and we didnt have the right players in the farm system to barter with. If that isnt an indictment on the GM, i dont know what is?
Maybe take 3 of the Felix Pie experiment will work out next year.
Re: Jim Hendry Signs Four Year Extension

Re: Jim Hendry Signs Four Year Extension
So there were only three good GM's in all of baseball, two of which didn't make the post-season.
I agree 100%, though, someone is 'ClueLess'.
Re: Jim Hendry Signs Four Year Extension
He had the assets to land Jake Peavy, but he already traded them to Oakland. (I'm referring, not to Murton and Patterson, but to the other three guys including Blevins.)
You could trade Vitters for Peavy right now--but please don't!
I also like slow-cooking assets like Felix Pie.
The Rays made good use of an "asset" last night. They made him an instant closer, in game 7 of the ALCS. That worked out okay.
Re: Jim Hendry Signs Four Year Extension
I'd take Webb.
Re: Jim Hendry Signs Four Year Extension
I'd have taken him too until he became as flukey as Zambrano late this year. It's probably just a dead arm but there might be something to look into there healthwise.
Re: Jim Hendry Signs Four Year Extension
The Rays have had more #1 overall picks (four) in their 10 years of existance than the Cubs have had in their 44 years of drafting. Since they've started playing they've never had a pick outside of the top 10. Their team this year is similiar to the Brewers in that way. Get enough top 50 picks for 10 years in a row and you should have some good players.
Re: Jim Hendry Signs Four Year Extension
Agreed -- but, the Red Sox (Pedroia, Ellsbury, Lester et al) seem to be doing OK with their youth.
Re: Jim Hendry Signs Four Year Extension
The Rays made good use of an "asset" last night.
It's been done before, as recently as: Adam Wainwright in 2006...and Beckett in 2003 was a variant of that as well.
Re: Jim Hendry Signs Four Year Extension
I dont understand how you guys can support Jim Hendry so much. This guy has done very little based on the assets he has to work with.
Signing Free Agents with a fist full of money does not make a great GM, if you do that to fill out a roster based on the foundation that you have put together, maybe. And yes ARam and DLee were great deals in 03, and 04 for teams that had economic issues and Hendry was able to put deals together for them. I think Ted Lilly, and Derosa were good signings as well. Resigning ARAM and DLEE were also good moves and Signing Lou as well.
Does getting Edmonds classify a great move? Or was it a failure that Pie couldnt play?
What about Neifi, Glendon Rusch in 06.
Keeping Dusty around in 06.
Nomar, Juan Pierre, Jacque Jones (Who he had to pay someone to take).
These are all lousy lousy moves. I could go on and on and the farm system as well.
If hendry's working 14 hour days, he should start working more.
Is anyone really surprised that a RH dominated lineup came back to roost?
Or Soriano didn't do jack vs a pitching staff that pitched him carefully?
Or Dempster choked in a big spot (we know he didnt like pitching the 9th)?
I didnt want to think it would happen, but it did and i was concerned about it in April, but the regular season made me think this team would overcome those things. I guess I was wrong about that and right about Hendry.
He gets a free pass in this town, because we were so bad before and the media loves him cause he's so accessible and a likeable guy.
The guy didnt buy into OBP until Lou got here. Come on!!
Re: Jim Hendry Signs Four Year Extension
mostly cuz a noticable chunk of us don't count some of your criticisms as big deals compared to the "other stuff" he's done.
hell...some of that stuff in your rant i dont even slightly buy into, myself. i have no idea where you get the idea about some of your assumptions, too.
i hear your side and all. it just doesn't sell me anything.
Re: Jim Hendry Signs Four Year Extension
Are you for real?
"Derosa were good signings as well. Resigning ARAM and DLEE were also good moves and Signing Lou as well....Is anyone really surprised that a RH dominated lineup came back to roost?"
Quit contradicting yourself.
Everyone who loses in the playoffs says 'The Playoffs are a crapshoot'. To a certain extent they are. You think that The Angels should fire their GM too? The Red Sox?
Re: Jim Hendry Signs Four Year Extension
The Angels-Sox series was a crapshoot. Cubs-Dodgers didn't rise to that level.
The Angels won game three on the road and might have won game 4 if a good bunter hadn't missed a squeeze in the ninth. To find a close call that made a difference in the Cubs-Dodgers series, you'd have to rehash Loney's foul tip in the fifth inning of the first game. The Cubs had no pulse after that.
So I'm temperamentally allied with HendryIsClueless, but I still go back and forth on Hendry. I like the organization he has built: Wilken and Fleita . . . Sandberg, Davis and Listach . . . Riggins, Llewallyn, Joshua. And of course Lou. All of this could be outweighed by disastrous free-agent signings, but I thought Soriano was better this year than last, and I have a hard time believing that Fukudome is a bum. It really is possible for a 31-year-old veteran to hit a rookie wall. I can live with this GM.
Re: Jim Hendry Signs Four Year Extension
The Real Neal:
"You think that The Angels should fire their GM too? The Red Sox?"
The Red Sox GM has won a WS 2 of the last 4 years. So no, he shouldn't be fired.
Re: Is anyone really surprised that a RH dominated lineup came b
Since you mention it HendryIsClueLess, a balanced LH/RH batting order is one of the few things I've found so far that correlates with winning a pennant this year.
Here's a breakdown (RH-LH-SH batters)
*Phils 7-5-2
Dodgers 9-4-1
Brewers 8-4-1
Cubs 9-5
*Rays 5-5-4
Red Sox 5-6-3
White Sox 8-5-1
Angels 8-1-6
The two teams with the most balanced lineups in their respective league playoffs won the pennant.
Also correlating with advancing to the playoffs and winning a pennant were stable healthy low-turnover rotations and pitching staffs using fewer RHP's than average.
Re: Jim Hendry Signs Four Year Extension
Its a crapshoot if you win a game.
This year's team choked.
2007 was just not that good. Overachieved to win 85 games, thanks to Lou not Hendry.
Re: Jim Hendry Signs Four Year Extension
I'm still trying to figure out how the GM doesn't deserve credit for building a team that won the most games in the league during the regular season, but gets the blame for players that "choked" by losing a 3 game series.
And I guess the opposite is also true, as to why Lou would get the credit for the regular season but not the blame for choking in a short series. I just don't get that.
A GM builds the team for the long haul, and clearly he did that. Other than making sure that the team has solid starting pitching (and yes, Z, Harden, Dempster, and Lilly is a solid rotation), how exactly is a GM supposed to build a team for a 5 game series?
Re: Mesa Solar Sox
Won 28 - 1 today over the Surprise Rafters. (No doubt they were surprised.)
Spears, Clevenger and Barney were a combined 8 for 16 with 3 RBI and 11 runs scored.
Re: Mesa Solar Sox
That's going to make a long day at the ballpark, especially for the Rafters. It would be cool if Barney became a useful hitter. Our guys pitched 8 innings of one run ball too (Estrada, Cardidad, Veal, Roquet).
Re: Mesa Solar Sox
Spears has started quickly in the AFL -- .455 / .556 / .682 -- and has played a few innings at short. Maybe AZ Phil can let us know how he's looked there and how he matches up with Fontenot.
Re: Mesa Solar Sox Won 28 - 1
Kewl! Getting swept in the NLDS doesn't hurt so much anymore....
Re: Mesa Solar Sox Won 28 - 1
Speaking of Mesa, Tyler Colvin has not been in a box score for a week. Anyone know why?
Re: Jim Hendry Signs Four Year Extension
Hendry has made his fair share of mistakes (Just like any other GM now or in history), but the true test of how good a GM is whether the team wins or not. 3 division titles in the last 6 seasons. You can't argue with that. Hendry did have a big part to play in that, along with Lou, the players, the trainers, the coaches, the grounds crew, etc. It's a team, and it took a total team effort to win. Hendry is the leader so it is only natural to see him get most of the attention for what happens.
The thing about leaders is this:
They get too much of the credit for good things happening and too much of the criticism for bad things happening. Human nature.
Re: Jim Hendry Signs Four Year Extension
More of the same from Hendry:
"We feel Felix is going to be a good player," Hendry said. "You're talking about a 23-year-old kid. He'll be an out-of-options player. Without any kind of injury or significant change, he'll have a very good chance to make the ballclub out of Spring Training."
Re: Jim Hendry Signs Four Year Extension
How many OFs can we carry? Fukudome, Pie, and Reed Johnson are already penciled in as non-starters...things that make you go hmmmm...
This team next year will either suck it up and repeat and get past the 1st round or completely suck from day 1. I dont see any middle ground.
Hopefully Soriano is batting 5th or 6th, Fukudome is the leadoff hitter or 2nd, Pie learns to hit ML pitching and Dempster stays on the same workout program he was on during his contract year.
Lets hope they feel they have lots to prove.
Re: Jim Hendry Signs Four Year Extension
your assumptions don't work given how the team will most likely approach things...
fukudome will most likely start if healthy pending a spring training meltdown. pie/r.johnson are the CF "platoon" as of now (but hell, it could be a.jones or some crazy shit by the time spring comes around).
Re: Jim Hendry Signs Four Year Extension
can we work the dodgers to get Andruw? I think he'll be a little more motivated next year. IIRC he signed a two year deal with the dodgers. He knows that if he stinks it up that he won't be getting much of a contract after the year is up.
Can we get them to pay half?
Re: Jim Hendry Signs Four Year Extension
The Dodgers would probably pay ALL if we take Pierre off their hands :)
Re: Jim Hendry Signs Four Year Extension
He stunk it up his last year with the Braves, didn't he?
Re: Jim Hendry Signs Four Year Extension
true. but you buy low, right?
Re: Jim Hendry Signs Four Year Extension
I am sure they'd be willing to pay half of his contract to any team that wants him. I don't know that he does us much good. Best case he hits like Soriano, and we already have too many strikeout prone right handed slugger types.
Re: Jim Hendry Signs Four Year Extension
we don't have a big bat on the bench (right handed). he could be that. also, if he hit like soriano did, then that would be the greatest move ever.
if he could hit .280 .344 .532 , he's a steal at 9 million.
Re: Jim Hendry Signs Four Year Extension
a.jones has already laid out the "play me everyday or trade me" demand.
Re: Jim Hendry Signs Four Year Extension
But then goes 1-12 with 7 strikeouts in the postseason?
Re: Jim Hendry Signs Four Year Extension
neal, if there is one person on this board who wouldn't believe in a 'post season choke player', it's you.
Re: Jim Hendry Signs Four Year Extension
No, but I do believe in lineup balance and certain types of hitters matching up better against certain pitchers.
Soriano and Jones are both mistake hitters - they very rarely hit a 'pitcher's pitch' anywhere. Lee and Ramirez, for example, can take those the other way and do some damage.

fwiw...i have heard nothing, not even a rumor, about a.jones/chc...

Throwbacks with fashionable cutouts would be a nice touch.
The next 2 games are nationally televised. I think we dominate tonight, hitting 3 HRs off Shields. Great night for KB to end HR drought facing HR prone pitcher in one of the most hitter friendly parks in the league.
If the ball didn't deflect off the pitcher's mound, the game wouldn't have ended. Montgomery did miss his location though, but if that same contact was made and went in any of direction, good chance of ground out if it doesn't get through.
If it was 1 night later, Chapman would be out there and we probably would be going to extras.
Also, If KB wasn't robbed of a HR, perhaps we would have won. We will never know. Nice play by Melky though.
The comparison isn't Chapman replacing Rondon. It's Chapman replacing Richard (hopefully) in the pen. Chapman's better.
I'm with you, Rob. You pretty much summed up how I feel about it.
Been quite the roller-coaster the past two days -- both games, plus the Chapman kerfuffel. How about a couple of nice, comfortable wins before facing Sale? Cubs should definitely wear throwbacks for that game.
The Cubs are stronger defensively than most of the teams they play. In order to capitalize on that, they have to a) put the ball in play and b) run the bases aggressively.
That said, Cabrera has a strong, accurate arm, as witnessed by his 97 outfield assists over 12 seasons--mostly left field but also a lot of center. Bryant is rarely thrown out, but I guess you have to know who's throwing the ball.
On the other hand, Pries won his first start for Iowa, only giving up two HRs in the process. This trade has got some legs yet!
KB now with 0 RBI in his last 10 games and 1 in his last 15, despite having 19 hits in his last 15 games and raising his batting average from .278 to .286 over that span.
Maybe have Zobrist hit 2 and KB hit 4?
Also -- no HR in the last 15 games -- time for a bunch. Starting tomorrow.
Down a run. Fowler on first. Nobody out. KB singles to left, Fowler makes it to third, perfect throw from Cabrera nails KB trying to stretch for 2nd.
So, instead of 1st & 3rd and no out, you have 3rd with one out. It was a perfect throw, but why take the chance with 3-4-5 hitters coming up?
Must be a Cub thing - our lefties can;t get lefties out.
Splitting hairs, but Jake's pitch was poor execution, while KB's play was a poor decision (and the 2nd time he got thrown out trying to stretch in the game). Poor execution happens. Poor decisions are preventable. Speaking of poor decisions -- Baez's steal of 3rd made absolutely no sense.
Didn't Jake cost them the game with a pitch to Frazier?
Missed the play w/Bryant. What happened?
Not a good decision by Bryant in the 9th. That may have cost them the game.
Can we un-do the Montgomery deal? Please?

Nipissing Indians, Nipissing Nation, Nipissing First Nation, Nipissing People ('at the little water or lake', referring to Lake Nipissing; Nipisirinien, 'little-water people'). A tribe of the Algonkin. When they first became known to the French, in 1613, they were residing in the vicinity of Lake Nipissing, Ontario, which has been their home during most of the time to the present. Having been attacked, about 1650, by the Iroquois, and many of them slain, they fled for safety to Lake Nipigon1 , where Allouez visited them in 1667, but they were again on Lake Nipissing in 1671. A part of the tribe afterward went to Three Rivers, and some resided with the Catholic Iroquois at Oka, where they still have a village. Some of these assisted the French in 1756. It is their dialect which is represented in Cuoq's Lexique de la Langue Algonquine. They were a comparatively unwarlike people, firm friends of the French, readily accepting the Christian teachings of the missionaries. Although having a fixed home, they were semi-nomadic, going south in autumn to the vicinity of the Hurons to fish and prepare food for the winter, which they passed among them. They cultivated the soil to a slight extent only, traded with the Cree in the north, and were much given to jugglery and shamanistic practices, on which account the Hurons and the whites called them Sorcerers. Their chiefs were elective, and their totems, according to Chauvignerie2 , were the heron, beaver, birchbark, squirrel, and blood. No reliable statistics in regard to their numbers have been recorded. The Indians now on a reservation on Lake Nipissing are officially classed as Chippewa; they numbered 162 in 1884 and 223 in 1906. A Nipissing division was called Miskouaha.

but remember that no matter what Iraqi deaths aren't as important as US deaths. can you imagine what shitstorm there would be if there were 650,000 civilians killed here, or in Europe, or any country the media thinks is important?? this pisses me off to no end. (another good example is media coverage of genocide in the 3rd world vs say, a serial killer killing pretty white girls)
We've trained those young Iraqi men so well, that they've surpassed the strength and honor of our own military men.
Better stay a few more years though, just to make sure it's not a fluke!
Way more Iraqi civilians have died in total, and not at US coalition hands. More like Sunni and Shia fighting, you guys are stupid. Really Stupid.
War Pig Fucker really has no idea what is going on in Iraq right now. The US are not the ones killing innocent Iraqis, it's the sectarians that are bombing the mosques and causing the sectarian violence. Who the fuck bombed that Shia University not too long ago? Not the US. We opened a pandora's box, and the US is guilty of that, but it's even more disheartening that they are killing themselves for religious fundamentalism and land rights, I suppose. This has everything to do with Iran, Hammas, Hezbollah, Saudi Arabia, etc.
Don't be so simple minded.
81? That's a shitload. It kind of amazes me what kind of media shitstorm there was when there were thirty American deaths in one month, and now there were 81, and no one gives a damn. It's just so normal.
Yeah, the US got through killing civilians early in the war (best estimate is that 100K civilians died in the first 18 months, not all by direct US action, before Iraqi-on-Iraqi sectarian violence took over). At this point you've essentially got a regional war being fought by proxy on Iraqi soil, making the US troops like the cops in south-central hunkered down (and occasionally getting whacked) while the bloods and crips gangbang around them. With car bombs and RPGs. It's the 70s vietnam quagmire dropped into the middle of early 90s Yugoslavia, with a big slab of 80s Beirut spread on top.
Oh for fucks sa- @4 do you even bother to read posts before your mooonbat knee starts jerking faster than a compulsive onanist?
@1 made literally NO STATEMENT about the U.S. military causing Iraqi deaths; they posited a comparison to the relative newsworthiness of U.S. dead versus Iraqi dead, making the rather obvious point that people here don't pay much attention to the tens or hundreds of thousands of native Iraqis who have been killed since our glorious, rose-petal-on-the-streets victory over Saddam, but rather that they DO pay attention (as they should) rather exclusively to the number of our own boys and girls who have perished in the interim.
Most of the number of Iraqi dead are due to sectarian violence? Well, FUCKING DUH! The point being that they wouldn't be shooting/bombimg the shi'ite (pun intended) out of each other if our Glorious Leader hadn't decided to avenge his poor pappy's inglorious stalemate of GW-I.
Anybody at this point who actually still believes shrub's war is anything other than a pathetic attempt to one-up his daddy is seriously delusional, or else willfully obtuse. You want to blame somebody for the mess over there, then I suggest you point your lil' ole moonbatty peepers in the direction of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
Exactly why none of us in the military support you on the left. You have no clue what we are doing and not doing all you can spout is your anti Bush rhetoric, while us in the military support our President. Hell with all of you
Exactly why none of us in the military support you on the left. You have no clue what we are doing and not doing all you can spout is your anti Bush rhetoric, while us in the military support our President. Hell with all of you
Seriously, why bother even responding to these idiots.
Comte is borderline retarded.
Logic and common sense are thrown out the window.
Savage? Give me a break, this coming froma guy who first supported the war.
Then, when things start to get sticky, bails out on his convictions and writes his pathetic bullshit.
So, Comte...
Tell me.
If the US pulls out of Iraq, whose going to be responsinble for the wholesale slaughter of the Iraqi's that support us?
Okay, 2x and 1st Gulf, you tell us why, after 4+years over there we've got such strong support from our well-trained allied army that we have twice the combat deaths they have.
But this is the first time your CinC has stuck you in a civil war, isn't it?
After you've gone through it once, the next one seems like what it is: A waste.
I see that MC Rove still can't read. The 650,000 Iraqi civilian deaths are those that, as of a year ago, had resulted from the American invasion. Saddam wasn't a nice guy, but he had kept the civil war from breaking out. About 500,000 of those civilian deaths resulted from the civil war we precipitated because the moonbat politicians were so stoned they thought you guys would be greeted by "grateful" Iraqis strewing flowers. That was the extent of their "planning".
Iraq is the unfortunate victim of American capitalism and politics.
There isn't one elected official (except for Barbara Lee) that has a problem with our military being used to occupy and destroy Iraq.
It doesn't matter to our govt how many US soldiers are sacrificed. It also doesn't matter who kills who in Iraq (check Sudan for further evidence).
The US govt's only interested in money, political power, and deception.
Do you really think our government actually believed that Iraq was a threat to us 4 years ago?
Have you been paying attention our government at all in the past 40 years (for a start)?
I laugh everytime they make a claim that the Iraqi's are "taking the lead on the war effort". if we weren't here to babysit them they all just wander off and then there would be no iraqi military. im in iraq and work with these idiots everyday i know how they are. but as pathetic as they are we should leave and let them hash this civil war out by themselves
Gee, I dunno 1st GWV, I'm just "borderline retarded", but I suppose it would be the same ones currently responsible for the wholesale slaughter of our Iraqi allies right now, namely their fellow Iraqis. Anyone who couldn't foresee an explosion of sectarian violence as a direct result of our intervention didn't pay heed to the historical realities of the region.
And if your chimp-in-chief is so infallible, why did he: A.) have to lie to get us into this war in the first place; B.) continue to lie, dodge, and spin his way through the course of it, when every rational assessment was clearly pointing to an impending disaster; and C.) after all that, refuse to listen to those more experienced, more knowlegeable military commanders who have been practically BEGGING him to initiate some sort of withdrawal for at least the past 18 months or so?
Or may we assume you also consider all those high-ranking military officers equally as "retarded" as myself?
And 2xIraq Vet, maybe you should re-read some of your back issues of Military Times (the January 5th 2006 edition would be a good place to start). Many of your brothers-in-arms don't seem to be nearly as enthusiastic about your Glorius Leader as you are.
good april fools' joke Mc rove, don't quit your day job! (actually... nevermind, quit your day job and try out that rappin' thing full-time).
patrick hit the nail on the head. where were all of you people when we overthrew elected governments in the name of democracy? or when this country killed millions of vietnamese villagers to 'save' them from communism? or when this country supported saddam against iran and GAVE HIM CHEMICAL WAEPONS (thanks rummy), or when this country paid BIN LADEN to fight the soviets (yeah, that worked out real well in the long term, cia)... just to name a few examples of the many un-democratic, anti-freedom foreign policy experiments that this country has engaged in. I mean, seriously what was iraq under saddam going to do to us anyways?? did anyone really believe that shit about how they were an imminent threat??? (especially after how they fared in gulf war #1?)
Oh, and just to add a bit of sauce to the goose, does it even need mentioning that this year's survey shows that "unquestioning support" for shrub eroding even further?
Looks like you're now officially in the minority, 2XIV & 1stGWV.
my anti-military/industrial complex-rage made me misspell 'weapons'.... damn you all to hell!! you bastards!!!
(sorry channeling planet of the apes there)
The final throws of the insurgency. A desperation driven last gasp even. And, of course, a terrible tragedy...service to your country...honorable...good, good. Hey, what's up with Iran?
Throes even.
The original question here was "how will FNC spin this?"
Easy: You liberals are too impatient! Fearless Leader said there wouldn't be instant success! He hasn't been wrong about anything so far! You just want
us to lose! Freedom isn't free!
(not sure why my comment got cut off?)
Just for the record, according to the Lancet/John Hopkins study that uses the best statistical modeling techniques, the number of additional deaths in Iraq from violence alone as of last July is 601,000 (92% of the total additional deaths, with the other 8% including deaths by starvation and disease.) Most of the violent deaths are by gunfire, and not by the huge bombings that dominate the news. 24% (nearly 145,000) were caused by US and "coalition" forces, and the rest mostly by sectarian violence. But every last one of them is above the Saddam-era baseline, and arguably the fault of the Bush administration's poor policy choices.
Oh, and these estimates are at the top of the bell curve. There's a 5% chance the deaths are below 400,000, and a 5% chance they're above 800,000, with numbers in the middle far more likely. Anyone who tries to argue with a straight face that these numbers are inflated is innumerate.

Saint Paul is the capital and second-most populous city of the U.S. state of Minnesota. The city lies mostly on the north bank of the Mississippi River, downstream of the river's confluence with the Minnesota River, and adjoins Minneapolis, the state's largest city.
Founded near historic Native American settlements as a trading and transportation center, the city rose to prominence when it was named the capital of the Minnesota Territory in 1849. Though Minneapolis is more nationally recognized, Saint Paul contains important institutions and the state's political activity. Regionally, the city is popular for the Xcel Energy Center, home of the Minnesota Wild, and for the Science Museum of Minnesota. As a business hub of the Upper Midwest, it is headquarters for companies such as Ecolab and Lawson Software.

On their Facebook page today, USO Basra is celebrating their volunteers with "Thank You's" and a treat at the front desk. In that spirit of gratitude, we want to extend a special thanks to those volunteers and everyone else at COB Basra for pulling together in the wake of a building fire - cause by a rocket launch - that resulted in destruction of property, but thankfully no serious injuries.
Fifteen occupants lost all of their possessions in the fire, but - as Maj. Michael Cobb, the executive officer for Division Headquarters and Headquarters Battalion, 1st Infantry Division, told Staff Sgt. Nathaniel Smith, 1st Inf. Div., USD-S PAO for Blackanthem News - people and organizations from across the base quickly mobilized to meet the needs of the displaced individuals.
[caption id="attachment_3407" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="The door of USO Basra is always open, 20 hours a day, 7 days a week. Come on in!"][/caption]
The USO immediately stepped up, providing whatever they could from the PX to augment the items that were destroyed.
"I'm hoping that by me taking care of that little nuisance for them then it will take that little burden off," Valerie Burnham, the Center Manager for Basra, told Staff Sgt. Smith. Burnham, a 24-year veteran who retired from the U.S. Navy last year, said her own service ingrained in her a sense of responsibility to help others.
"You see people in trouble, you want to do something about it," she said. "It's my human nature now, after being in the military for so long."
Thank you, Valerie, and all of your staff and volunteers, and to everyone else at COB Basra who turned a tough situation into something that shows the best of the human spirit. Stay safe, and we'll see you back home soon…

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Twitter has taken four years to allow advertising on its Internet communications service. It's in no hurry to show the commercial messages in other places besides its search results.
Twitter co-founder Biz Stone says the privately held company still doesn't have to sell a lot of ads because it's already making money from search licensing deals with Google Inc., Microsoft Corp. and Yahoo Inc. Stone says Twitter also has plenty of cash left from the $155 million provided by venture capitalists and other investors since the company's 2006 inception.
Stone's comments came during a Wednesday interview at Twitter's first major developers conference.
Twitter made an even bigger splash Tuesday when it began its long-awaited expansion into advertising.
