Lipscomb is situated just northeast of Bessemer and west of Birmingham in Jefferson County in north central Alabama. It has a mayor/council form of government.
The area that includes present-day Lipscomb was first settled in the 1830s and a Baptist Church was established in that decade. In the later nineteenth century, the area came to be known as Wheeling, in reference to former Wheeling, West Virginia, resident Stimson Harvey Woodward, who established coal mining and blast furnace operations in the area and spurred the construction of a local railroad connection around which Wheeling further developed. In 1885, three brothers, S. W., Lawrence Y., and H. P. Lipscomb, settled there, and Lawrence Lipscomb opened a general store. A rail line connecting the area with Bessemer and Birmingham was established by 1890, and the town became known as Lipscomb Station after Lawrence Lipscomb. The town was incorporated in June 1910 as Lipscomb, also in honor of Lawrence. He would operate a law practice in Bessemer and serve several terms in the Alabama legislature. In the 1940s, Lipscomb incorporated the nearby communities of Gordon Heights and Crescent Heights. In recent decades, however, the city has experienced a severe drop in population, has filed for bankruptcy, and in the 2010s curtailed city services due to funding shortages. City officials have so far fended off suggestions to incorporate Lipscomb into Birmingham. The city celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2010.
The population in Lipscomb at the time of the 2010 Census was 2,210. Of that number, 61.0 percent reported itself as African American, 22.0 percent as white, 19.7 percent as Hispanic or Latino, and 0.9 percent as two or more races. The median household income according to Census estimates is $26,799 and per capita income was $15,271.
According to Census estimates, the Lipscomb workforce is divided among the following major industrial categories:
· Educational services, and health care and social assistance (24.1 percent)
· Arts, entertainment, recreation, and accommodation and food services (19.7 percent)
· Construction (15.3 percent)
· Retail trade (11.9 percent)
· Wholesale trade (8.2 percent)
· Professional, scientific, management, and administrative and waste management services (7.1 percent)
· Manufacturing (5.8 percent)
· Other services, except public administration (4.2 percent)
· Public administration (3.2 percent)
· Finance and insurance, real estate, and rental and leasing (0.8 percent)
Public education in Lipscomb is administered by Jefferson County Schools. The town has one elementary school with approximately 210 students and approximately 35 educators.
Lipscomb is accessed by U.S. Highway 11 and State Highway 7 and lies just east of Interstates 20 and 59 and to the west of Interstate 65. The Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport is approximately 20 miles to the northeast of Lipscomb.
Events and Places of Interest
The city often holds an Easter egg hunt and a May Day celebration. It also is convenient to the many activities and attractions
available in Birmingham.

Triple-A Subs Help Yankees Rally Past Cubs In 13
When a baseball team suffers through a spate of injuries it has to rely a great deal on its players from Triple A to fill in for those injured players. Add to the fact that when a team is in a 13-inning game they up asking players to do things they never have done before.
That is exactly what happened at Wrigley Field on Wednesday and those former Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders came up big for the Yankees.
Pitcher Preston Claiborne set down a perfectly placed sacrifice bunt in his first major-league at-bat in the top of the 13th inning, Brendan Ryan scored the tie-breaking run on a wild pitch and John Ryan Murphy drove in an insurance run on a single as New York rallied for two runs in the ninth to tie it and scored two in the 13th to down Chicago.
Claiborne (2-0), who was recalled from Scranton for a second time this season on April 27 to fill a void in the bullpen, pitched 1 2/3 scoreless innings of relief to earn the victory. David Robertson pitched a scoreless 13th frame to remain a perfect 9-for-9 in saves this season.
Former Yankee right-hander Jose Veras (0-1) took the loss.
Ryan, who entered the game as pinch-runner for Brian McCann and scored a run in the ninth, led off the 13th with a lined single to left off Veras. Yangervis Solarte then drew a walk to set the stage for Claiborne's bunt.
The Yankees were out of position players and Robertson was only reliever left in the bullpen. That forced manager Joe Girardi into asking Claiborne, who had never had at-bat in major-league game, to put down a sacrifice bunt to advance Ryan and Solarte.
The Cubs, defending the bunt, actually put on the wheel play to cut down Ryan at third base, however, Claiborne's bunt on the first pitch from Veras was deadened so much on the Wrigley Field turf that third baseman Luis Valbuena had only the play at first base.
While facing Murphy, who entered the game after Ryan pinch-ran for McCann in the ninth, Veras uncorked a wild pitch that allowed Ryan to score the tie-breaking run. Two pitches later Murphy, who was recalled from Scranton on April 15 when Francisco Cervelli was placed on the 60-day disabled list with a pulled right hamstring, laced a RBI single to right that scored Solarte.
Considering the effort of Cubs right-hander Jeff Samardzjia, it is lucky that the Yankees were able to tie it in the ninth, much less win the game.
Samardzjia entered the game with a 1.62 ERA but was sporting an 0-4 record and a 15-start streak in which he had failed to win a game dating back to Aug. 24, 2013 victory over the Padres in San Diego.
He held the Yankees to just four hits and two walks while he struck out three in seven innings. That lowered his season ERA to National League-leading 1.46.
The Cubs, meanwhile, were able to push across a run in the fourth inning against right-hander Chase Whitley, who was recalled from Scranton on May 15 and who was making only his second major-league start.
Valbuena slapped a one-out single and Wellington Castillo followed with a single of his own. Then Nate Schierholtz slashed a liner off the glove of Mark Teixeira at first base for a single that loaded the bases.
Mike Olt scored Valbuena on a sacrifice fly.
Whitley left the game with one out in the fifth and Emilio Bonifacio on third with a leadoff triple. But right-hander Dellin Betances bailed him out of the inning by retiring Anthony Rizzo on a swinging strike and Starlin Castro on a flyout.
Whitley gave up on run on six hits and one walk along with three strikeouts in 4 1/3 innings. In his two starts since being called up as an emergency fifth starter, Whitley has yielded one run on eight hits and three walks and seven strikeouts in nine innings.
The Cubs added a run in the seventh inning off right-hander Adam Warren when pinch-hitter Ryan Kalish lined a one-out triple to right and Bonifacio scored him on a bunt single.
But the Yankees both ruined Samardzjia's great outing and saved themselves a loss by scoring two runs with the help of an error by Darwin Barney, who had just entered the game at second base as part of a double switch in the top of the ninth.
Teixeira opened the inning with a single off right-hander Hector Rondon, the Cubs' closer. McCann followed by drawing a walk and he was replaced by Ryan.
Solarte loaded the bases with an infield single and Ichiro Suzuki followed by hitting a grounder to Castro at short. Castro fed the ball to Barney to retire Solarte but Barney's throw to first skipped past Rizzo at first base to allow both Teixeira and Ryan to score.
Because of the length of the game, thousands of Yankee fans and a majority of the sellout crowd of 34,808 saluted Derek Jeter with repeated standing ovations when he came to the plate. Jeter ended the day 1-for-7 with a single in the sixth in his final game at Wrigley Field.
"I was hoping the game wouldn't take that long, but I told you, the way the fans have been treating me on the road this year. It's been unbelievable," Jeter told reporters after the game.
With the victory the Yankees split the two-game series at Wrigley but won the inter-league season series three games to one. Their season record improves to 24-21 and they are in a statistical tie with the Toronto Blue Jays for first place in the American League East, a half=game ahead of the third-place Baltimore Orioles.
The Cubs fell to 16-28.
- Whitley certainly deserves another start after what he did against the Cubs on Wednesday. Girardi was pleased and only removed him in the fifth in favor of Betances with Bonifacio on third and Rizzo up because Girardi wanted a strikeout in the that situation. With Ivan Nova out for the season after Tommy John surgery and Michael Pineda and CC Sabathia on the disabled list, the 24-year-old right-hander is seizing a great opportunity after spending the past three seasons at Scranton.
- Let's also give credit to the bullpen for pitching 8 2/3 innings of one-run baseball. They allowed only five hits and three walks while striking out 12 batters. Despite the loss of setup man Shawn Kelley, who is on the DL with a lower-back strain, the team is getting help from Betances, Alfredo Aceves, Matt Daley, Matt Thornton, Warren, Claiborne and Robertson. Robertson is certainly settling in replacing the legendary Mariano Rivera.
- Give Murphy, 22, credit for staying sharp with the bat despite getting limited playing time behind the perennial All-Star McCann. With Murphy's single in the 13th he has raised his season average to .406. He is 13-for-32 with a home run and six RBIs. He is making Austin Romine and Cervelli irrelevant to the Yankees future plans as long as he continues to play this well.
- It is clear that Samardzjia is a good pitcher but the Yankees can not be happy that they played the weak-hitting Cubs for 17 innings heading into the ninth inning on Wednesday and they managed to score just a single run on 10 hits. The acquisitions of Carlos Beltran, Jacoby Ellsbury and McCann were supposed to make the offense better than it was in 2013. But those three, so far, are failing to provide much. Ellsbury singled in the 10th and the 12th innings to snap a 1-for-27 slump and he only has one home run all season.
More bad news on the injury front. Kelley, 30, had his rehab placed on hold Wednesday due to a recurrence of his lower back pain. Kelley felt a twinge as he was playing catch on Monday and he was told to halt all baseball activities. Tests indicated no problems with the discs in his back. But plans for the right-hander to begin a minor-league rehab stint this weekend have been cancelled.
The Yankees stay in Chicago but their bus will head to U.S. Cellular Field on the south side of the city to open a four-game series with the White Sox beginning on Thursday.
Right-hander David Phelps (1-0, 3.33 ERA) will start for the Yankees coming off his best start of the season. Phelps shut out the Pirates on five hits and three walks in five innings on Friday. Though Phelps had command issues throughout his outing, he got out of jams and held the Bucs scoreless.
This is just how the Yankees' season has gone. All-Star Chisox left-hander Chris Sale (3-0, 2.30 ERA) was not supposed to pitch in this series because he was on the 15-day disabled list with a left flexor muscle strain in his left elbow. However, after he fanned 11 batters in four innings in a rehab start last Friday, Sale was summoned to Chicago and he will be activated for Thursday's game. Oh goody, goody!
Game-time will be 8:10 p.m. EDT and the game will be broadcast by the YES Network.
Rookie Murphy's 3 RBIs Helps Yankees Drop Halos
When backup catcher Francisco Cervelli was placed on the 15-day disabled list on April 15 and the Yankees recalled 22-year-old John Ryan Murphy instead of Austin Romine it raised a lot eyebrows since Romine had more major-league experience. But after Saturday's game at Yankee Stadium the promotion of Murphy seems to make perfect sense now.
Murphy stroked a two-run single in the second inning and then blasted his first major-league home run in the fifth as he led New York to a nail-biting victory over the Los Angeles Angeles of Anaheim in front of a national TV audience on FOX Sports 1 and a paid crowd of 40,908.
Murphy was making only his ninth major-league start and his third of the season to allow starting catcher Brian McCann to rest during the day game after playing Friday night. Murphy made the most of it, too.
With the game tied at 1-1 after left-hander Hector Santiago balked in a run and runners on second and third in the second inning, Murphy slapped a 2-2 delivery from Santiago to the opposite field for a single that scored two runs and give the Yankees a 3-1 lead.
However, Yankees left-hander Vidal Nuno was unable to hold the lead for long.
Albert Pujols greeted him with single to lead off the fourth inning and Howie Kendrick followed by drawing a four-pitch walk. Erick Aybar then hit a grounder to Kelly Johnson at third.
Johnson retired Kendrick with a throw to Brian Roberts at second but Kendrick upended Roberts and Roberts' throw to first landed in the Yankees' dugout for an error that allowed Pujols to score while Aybar was awarded second base.
Chris Iannetta followed with a RBI double to center to score Aybar that again tied the game at 3-3.
With two outs, David Freese singled and J.B. Schuck lofted a shallow sinking fly ball to center that Jacoby Ellsbury made a spectacular diving catch on to keep the Angels from taking the lead.
Nuno was removed from the game with one out and one on in the fifth inning. Besides the two runs in the fourth, he also yielded a one-out solo home run to Mike Trout in the first inning.
Nuno was charged with three runs on five hits and two walks while he struck out four in 4 1/3 innings.
Murphy untied the game leading off the bottom of the fifth with a long drive into the left-field bleachers on the first offering from Santiago (0-4).
After Murphy's home run, Santiago was tagged with back-to-back singles by Ellsbury and Derek Jeter. Santiago retired Carlos Beltran on a flyout and then was removed from the game, ending up being charged with four runs on six hits and a walk while striking three in 4 1/3 innings.
The Yankees bullpen was able to keep the hot-hitting Angels scoreless the rest of the way. But the Angels did have several excellent chances to score.
Dellin Betances (1-0) replaced Nuno in the fifth and he pitched 2 innings of scoreless baseball with three strikeouts to earn his first major-league decision.
Shawn Kelley, Matt Thornton and David Robertson shut out the Halos for the final 2 2/3 innings to preserve the victory. Robertson was credited with third save in as many chances this season.
The Angels did have two runners and one out in the seventh inning after a Collin Cowgill single chased Betances and Kelley walked the first batter he faced in Trout.
However, Kelley was able to retire Pujols on a flyout and he struck out Kendrick to end the inning.
The Angels then threatened in the eighth when Iannetta stroked a one-out single and Ian Stewart laid down a bunt single against a exaggerated shift. But Freese flew out and Thornton relieved Kelley and got pinch-hitter Raul Ibanez to line out to right to end that rally.
Robertson yielded a one-out single to Trout and Trout was able to steal second. But Robertson got Pujols on another routine flyout and he struck out Kendrick on a 3-2 fastball to save the game.
With the victory the Yankees improved their season record to 14-10. They now lead the American League East by two games over the Baltimore Orioles. The Angels, who have not been above .500 since they won their first game of the season in 2013, fell to 11-12.
- For years the Yankees have had a "defense-first" approach with their backup catchers. Murphy's recall from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre indicates that philosophy has changed. Murphy batted .269 with 12 home runs and 46 RBIs in 108 games in two minor-league stops in 2013. He has now passed Romine in the pecking order and if he keeps hitting he may eventually make Cervelli trade bait. Murphy is 4-for-13 (.308) with a homer and three RBIs in six games.
- Betances, 26, shut the door on the Angels and was very impressive in his two innings of work. With Trout on second after Betances was called for a balk, Betances retired Pujols on a groundout and then induced a weak infield popup from Kendrick to end the fifth. Betances finished by striking out three of the final four batters he faced with his mid-90s fastball and a knee-buckling curveball.
- Robertson passed his first big test after coming off the disabled list with a strained groin on Tuesday. After striking out Cowgill to open the ninth, Trout singled and reached second on a stolen base after a fan interfered with Mark Teixeira's attempt to catch a foul ball off the bat of Pujols. But Robertson retired Pujols on a fly ball and fanned Kendrick with a flourish to gain a well-earned save.
- Despite the fact that Yangervis Solarte has been hitting well, manager Joe Girardi elected to started the lefty-swinging Johnson at third against the lefty Santiago and Johnson went 0-for-3 and stranded four runners in the game. Johnson is 3-for-16 (.115) with one RBI in his past 10 games and his season average has sunk to .213.
- Beltran had his four-game hitting streak stopped as he was 0-for-4 on Saturday. Despite his poor showing, Beltran still leads the Yankees with five homers and he is tied with Solarte for the team lead in RBIs with 13.
The Yankees on Saturday continued to shuffle their bullpen in the wake of the suspension of right-hander Michael Pineda. The Yankees selected the contract of right-hander Chris Leroux from Scranton and optioned right-hander Shane Greene back to the same club. In addition, to make room of the 40-man roster for Leroux, the team released left-hander Nik Turley. Leroux, 30, was 0-2 with a 12.79 ERA in two appearances with the RailRiders. Greene, 25, had no record with a 6.75 ERA in two appearances with the Yankees. . . . Yankees infielder Brendan Ryan, 32, will begin a rehab stint on Sunday with High-A Tampa in the Florida State League. Ryan has been shelved since March 4 with a cervical spine nerve injury. The Yankees hope to be able to activate him off the disabled list within a week.
The Yankees will try to win the rubber game of the three-game weekend home series against the Angels on Sunday.
Japanese sensation Masahiro Tanaka (3-0, 2.15 ERA) will take the mound for the Yankees. Tanaka held the Boston Red Sox to just two runs on seven hits and no walks with seven strikeouts in 7 1/3 innings on Tuesday. Tanaka, 25, has 35 K's in 29 1/3 innings this season.
The Angels will start Garrett Richards (2-0, 2.52 ERA). Richards surrendered just one run on one hit and four walks with six strikeouts in six innings in a no-decision on Monday against the Washington Nationals.
Game-time will be 8:05 p.m. EDT and the game will be broadcast nationally by ESPN.
Beltran Boosts Yankees As They Limp Past Red Sox
Carlos Beltran has wanted to be a Yankee for a long time. At age 36, he is finally getting the chance to wear pinstripes and he is loving every minute of it.
Beltran slugged a two-run home run and collected three hits overall to back the solid pitching of Ivan Nova as New York held on to beat Boston on Sunday to win the home weekend series three games to one.
As rivalries go, this one is the greatest in sports. There have been many memorable games over the years and this one – played in front of a paid Yankee Stadium crowd of 46,081 and a national television audience – was pretty eventful for an early April contest.
Nova (2-1) entered the game with a 8.68 ERA but he weathered some early problems to pitch into the eighth inning.
His mound opponent, Felix Doubront, posted an ERA of 9.00 and he did not make it out of the third inning of his last start. Yet, Doubront pitched into the seventh inning.
How this pair of starters made it that far was a testament to their toughness and some very odd things, which usually occur when these two teams meet.
Doubront started out as if he would not last the first inning after Beltran laced a one-out single to left and Jacoby Ellsbury lined a double into the right-field corner. Alfonso Soriano then lofted a sure-fire sacrifice fly into center.
But Red Sox outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. fired the ball to third base and Ryan Roberts tagged a sliding Ellsbury before Beltran could cross the plate with the run.
The Red Sox then literally took aim at Nova with two out in the second inning.
Roberts singled and Bradley followed with ball that caromed off Nova's foot for a single. Jonathan Herrera then scored Roberts with a lined single that narrowly missed Nova's head. Grady Sizemore then came through with the fourth straight single off Nova but left-fielder Brett Gardner threw Bradley out at the plate.
The Yankees then took the lead in the third inning when Gardner stroked a one-out single and Beltran followed with the 361st home run of his career, a lined shot that landed in the first row in the left-field bleachers.
The Yankees padded their lead in the fourth when Doubront opened the frame by walking Brian McCann and Yangervis Solarte. After Solarte was retired on a fielder's choice off the bat of Kelly Johnson, Francisco Cervelli hit a ball to Roberts that he turned into a double play.
Cervelli stumbled through about a half-dozen steps past first base and fell holding the back of his right leg.
Manager Joe Girardi challenged the out call at first base by umpire Bob Davidson as Cervelli was helped off the field with an obviously severe pull in his right hamstring.
Meanwhile, television replays indicated Cervelli touched first base before the ball hit first baseman Mike Napoli's glove, which allowed McCann to score the Yankees' third run without the benefit of a hit. The umpires reversed the out call.
Red Sox manager John Farrell stormed out onto the field to protest the reversal and immediately was ejected from the game by Davidson. Managers are not allowed to argue calls that have been overturned.
Nova, meanwhile, settled in and pitched well. He only allowed a leadoff home run in the sixth inning to Napoli, which drew the Bosox to within a run at 3-2. He exited with one out in the eighth having given up two runs on eight hits, no walks and four strikeouts in 7 1/3 innings.
The Yankee bullpen then turned the game into an adventure.
Matt Thornton replaced Nova to face David Ortiz and Ortiz laced a deep drive that would have hit the top of the auxiliary scoreboard for a sure double. However, Ichiro Suzuki, who only entered the game as the right-fielder when Cervelli left the game, leapt and caught the ball before it reached the wall.
David Phelps then replaced Thornton and he ended up yielding a double to Napoli, a walk to Daniel Nava and hit A.J. Pierzynski with a pitch to load the bases. He then got locked into a tense eight-pitch battle with pinch-hitter Mike Carp that – luckily for Phelps and the Yankees – ended with Carp swinging and missing to end the threat.
Shawn Kelley pitched a perfect ninth, striking out two batters, to earn his third save in three opportunities.
Doubront (2-1) was tagged with loss, giving up three runs on seven hits and three walks while he fanned three in 6 2/3 innings.
The victory gives the Yankees a 7-6 record on the young season. The Red Sox dropped to 5-8.
- Beltran has always been a big-stage performer throughout his career and his 3-for-4 night substantiated that reputation. In his past six games, Beltran is 11-for-26 (.423) with three home runs and six RBIs. This is the production the Yankees were expecting when they signed Beltran as free agent to the three-year contract after Robinson Cano signed with the Seattle Mariners.
- Nova always has been a captive to his pitches working. When they are not working he gets lit up like a roman candle. When they are working he can be very good. His stuff was working on Sunday and he was able to hold the Red Sox to just the one run on three hits over his last 5 1/3 innings.
- Suzuki's catch on Ortiz's deep drive was set up by Cervelli's injury. Suzuki entered the game as a pinch-runner for Cervelli in fourth and he was placed in right-field. That moved right-fielder Beltran to first base, a position he has never played in 17 major-league seasons. If Beltran had been in right it is likely that drive would have not been caught. It truly was a game saver. For a 40-year-old player, Suzuki can still flash some leather.
- It appears the Yankees' issues with injuries that beset them in 2013 seem to have cropped up again early in 2014. The Yankees are already without first baseman Mark Teixeira, closer David Robertson and backup infielder Brendan Ryan. All three are on the disabled list. They played Sunday's game with shortstop Derek Jeter nursing a mild quad injury and second baseman Brian Roberts out with a back injury. The loss of Cervelli left the team with no other bench players and no backup catcher. McCann took a ball off the fingers of his right index finger catching in the eighth inning and Solarte took an inadvertent shot to the groin from Napoli as he was running out a grounder in the sixth. Fortunately, both players were able to stay in the game. The Yankees will need to add some depth to their roster in a hurry.
Cervelli was taken for an MRI after he left the game but it is certainty that he will be placed on the 15-day disabled list. The Yankees are expected to recall catcher Austin Romine from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to replace Cervelli on the roster. . . . Jeter said he felt his right quadriceps tighten up in Friday's game against the Red Sox. He already was scheduled for a day off on Saturday but Girardi opted to hold Jeter out a second day. Jeter was not scheduled to have any tests and he is expected to play to play on Tuesday. . . . Roberts is listed as day-to-day after he experienced some lower-back soreness. A precautionary MRI came back negative but it is not clear when Roberts will be able to play.
The Yankees will finally get their first day off of the season and it is a good thing with all of their walking wounded. They will open a two-game home series with the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday.
Right-hander Masahiro Tanaka (1-0, 3.21 ERA) will start for the Yankees. Tanaka struck out 10 batters in seven innings against the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday. But he had to settle for a no-decision.
Right-hander Jason Hammel (2-0, 2.63 ERA) will start for the Cubs. Hammel gave up three runs on three hits (all homers) and struck out six in seven innings as he defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday.
Game-time will be 7:05 p.m. EDT and the game will be broadcast by MY9.
Orioles Edge Yankees On Bloop Singles In Ninth
With Mariano Rivera retired and his successor David Robertson on the disabled list the Yankees will admit that their bullpen is not as strong as it could be. Robertson's replacement Shawn Kelley found out just how frustrating life can be pitching in the ninth inning.
Nick Markakis hit a bloop RBI single and Chris Davis later added a sacrifice fly off Kelley to break a 3-3 tie as Baltimore edged New York to win their three-game series in front of a paid crowd of 39,412 at Yankee Stadium.
The Orioles opened the ninth off Kelley(0-1) with a double off the bat of Ryan Flaherty and a bloop single by Jonathan Schoop. Markakis then muscled his single that scored Flaherty.
Delmon Young then dunked in another bloop single to load the bases and Davis smacked a deep fly ball to center that scored Schoop.
Brian Matusz pitched a scoreless two-thirds of an inning of relief to earn the victory. Tommy Hunter was credited with a save despite being tagged with a sacrifice fly off the bat of Brian Roberts that scored Alfonso Soriano, who doubled to lead off the frame.
The game actually was supposed to feature Japanese right-hander Masohiro Tanaka, who was making his debut at Yankee Stadium.
However, Schoop put a damper on that with two outs in the second inning.
With Matt Wieters on first and Flaherty at second, Schoop launched a 1-0 pitch high and deep down the left-field line for his first home run of the season and only the second of his career. That cast a huge hush over the crowd.
But the Yankees managed to recover against right-hander Miguel Gonzalez when Carlos Beltran led off the second inning with a his first home run as a Yankee and the 359th of his career, which pushed him past Yogi Berra on the all-time list.
Two batters later, Kelly Johnson hit his second home run in as many nights to make it 3-2.
Beltran also sparked the rally that tied the game in the fourth when he led off with a double, advanced to third on a flyout and scored on Soriano's RBI groundout.
Although Tanaka gave up the three-run homer he ended up giving up seven hits and one walk but he frustrated the power-laden Orioles by striking out 10 batters, most of them on his signature split-finger fastball.
After striking out eight batters in Toronto in his first start, Tanaka became only the second pitcher in Yankee history to strike out at least eight batters in his first two games since Allen Russell did it in 1915.
With the defeat the Yankees fell under the .500 mark at 4-5. The Orioles have the same record.
- Tanaka, 25, may still be learning that No. 9 hitters in the major leagues are tougher than those in Japan but he still pitched a quality game. He threw 71 of his 101 pitches for strikes. Tanaka also struck out Young, Adam Jones and Nelson Cruz twice apiece and Markakis, Davis, Wieters and Schoop once.
- Beltran had himself a very nice breakout game in which he was 3-for-3 with a homer, a double, a single, two runs scored and and an RBI. With Brett Gardner on third and two outs in the eighth inning, Orioles manager Buck Showalter had Matusz walk Beltran intentionally in order to pitch to Brian McCann. McCann flied out to end the threat.
- Johnson was 2-for-4 with a homer, a single, a run scored and an RBI. He has now raised his early-season average to .280. The Yankees need Johnson to provide power in the absence of first baseman Mark Teixeira and Johnson is proving that he can do just that.
- McCann's struggles at the plate continue though he did do better than the his 0-4 indicated. He had one hit taken away by the severe shift the Orioles employed with third baseman Schoop fielding his ground ball in shallow right and throwing him out. His flyout to center in the eighth just missed the warning track and was well struck. Nonetheless, McCann is hitting just .152 and his struggles are hurting the offense.
- After coming into the game as the Yankees' hottest hitter, Jacoby Ellsbury was 0-for-4 in the game. In his defense, however, he lined out hard to left- and right-field in two of his at-bats. Ellsbury is still hitting a robust .364 and the Yankees seem to like him in the No. 3 spot with Teixeira out of the lineup.
- Kelley gave up two runs on four hits in a very ugly ninth inning but he was not hammered all over the yard. The Orioles benefitted from three consecutive singles by Schoop, Markakis and Young that sounded like they were hit with a wet newspaper. Two out them came on two-strike pitches and the 1-0 pitch Markakis hit was ankle high. The point is that you can blame the loss on Kelley but he did not pitch poorly. The Orioles were more lucky than good.
The Yankees elected to option catcher Austin Romine to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday and they recalled right-hander Shane Greene from the same club. Greene, 25, was the Yankees' Minor-League Pitcher of the Year in 2013 after he was 12-10 with a 3.38 ERA. Though Greene is starting pitcher he will pitch out of the bullpen for the Yankees. The move gives the Yankees 13 pitchers and 12 position players. . . . Jones, the Orioles' loud-mouth outfielder got touchy when reporters asked him about having to face Tanaka. "Why don't you ask Tanaka about me?," Jones bellowed. "I'm the one who's been over here in the major leagues for a while. Congratulations, he did it over there. Don't make it like he's the dirtiest guy in the world. He was 24-0-in Japan . . . At the end of the day, we've got to judge it off major-league hitters, not the Japanese hitters. We're a little bit better over here as hitters." Tanaka struck out Jones the first two times he faced him.
The Yankees open a four-game home weekend series against the Boston Red Sox on Thursday.
Right-hander Michael Pineda (0-1, 1.50) will make his Yankee Stadium debut in pinstripes. After missing two full seasons, Pineda yielded one run on five hits with no walks while he fanned five in six innings in a loss to the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday.
The Red Sox will start right-hander Clay Buchholz (0-0, 12.46 ERA), who was hammered for six runs on 13 hits in 4 1/3 innings against the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday. He has not fared well against the Yankees. He enters the game with an ERA of 5.32 against them.
Game-time will be 7:05 p.m. EDT and the game will be broadcast nationally by the MLB Network and locally by the YES Network.
Yankees Knuckle Under To Dickey, Jays' Bullpen
The Yankees have been around enough to know that facing a knuckleball pitcher is always a 50-50 proposition. When the knuckleball is not working the game is easy. When it is working you can probably figure on losing.
R.A. Dickey held the Yankees scoreless for 6 2/3 innings and the three relievers who followed him completed the shutout as Toronto downed New York on Saturday in front of a sellout crowd of 45,446 at Rogers Centre.
Dickey (1-1) was shelled for six runs by the Tampa Bay Rays on Opening Day on Monday but he rebounded to yield only five hits and one walk while he struck out six to get credit for the victory on Saturday.
His mound opponent, Michael Pineda, was making his first major-league start since the end of the 2011 season and he deserved a better fate.
Pineda (0-1) held the Blue Jays to just one run on five hits, he did not walk a batter and he fanned five in six innings. He ended up on the short end because the Yankees could not solve Dickey or his knuckleball.
The Blue Jays lone run off Pineda came in the second inning when Adam Lind led off with a double and one batter later Josh Thole blooped a single into left to score Lind.
That run held up until the Blue Jays decided to play "Home Run Derby" in the eighth inning off reliever David Phelps. Melky Cabrera cranked a one-out solo shot, his second in two nights against his former teammates.
After Colby Rasmus stroked a ground-rule double, Jose Bautista blasted his third home run of the season to cap the scoring.
Sergio Santos pitched the final 1 1/3 innings for the Blue Jays to earn his second save.
The loss dropped the Yankees' season record to 2-3. The Blue Jays evened their record at 3-3.
- After Pineda missed two full major-league seasons recovering from shoulder surgery the Yankees have to be extremely pleased with what the 25-year-old right-hander did on Saturday. His fastball reached as high as 95 miles-per-hour. Even more important was that Pineda did not issue a walk. If Pineda is the team's No. 5 starter they have the makings of one of the best No. 5 starters in baseball.
- Yangervis Solarte continues to be impressive with the bat. The 26-year-old rookie was 2-for-3 with two singles and he is 7-for-13 (.538) on the young season. I was honestly stunned the Yankees would designate for assignment Eduardo Nunez to make room on the roster for Solarte. But now that they have made the move it looks like they made the right choice. The youngster is something special.
- Francisco Cervelli started behind the plate while Brian McCann was the designated hitter and Cervelli was 2-for-3 with a double and he threw out a runner on the bases. Jacoby Ellsbury, who was 3-for-4 on Friday, was 3-for-5 on Saturday. Cervelli, Ellsbury and Solarte combined to collect all seven of the Yankees' hits.
- The middle of the order had a really rough time with Dickey and the Blue Jays' relievers. Carlos Beltran, McCann, Alfonso Soriano and Kelly Johnson combined to go 0-for-16 with four strikeouts and they stranded nine base-runners. Beltran killed a big rally with no outs in the sixth after Ellsbury singled and Derek Jeter walked by hitting into a double play. After Ellsbury singled and and Jeter walked to start the eighth off left-hander Aaron Loup, Beltran struck out on a pitch that bounced in the dirt.
- It goes without saying that the Yankees were 1-for-11 with runners in scoring position. That hit came in the third inning after Cervelli had doubled and Ellsbury delivered a two-out single to center. However, Rasmus' throw to Thole at home plate beat Cervelli as he slid into home plate. That is pretty much the way the day went for the Yankees.
- Phelps gave up eight home runs in 86 2/3 innings last season. This season he already has given up three in 3 1/3 innings. Phelps, 27, needs to start doing a better job of keeping the ball in the yard.
Before the game started the Yankees placed first baseman Mark Teixeira on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right hamstring. Teixeira, 33, sustained the injury in the second inning of Friday's game against the Blue Jays as he tried to field a ground ball in foul territory. Teixeira will have an MRI on Monday in New York to determine the severity of the strain. To take his place on the roster the Yankees recalled catcher Austin Romine from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Johnson will take Teixeira's place at first base and Solarte will take Johnson's spot at third.
The Yankees will try to win the three-game series against the Blue Jays on Sunday.
Left-hander CC Sabathia (0-1, 9.00 ERA) will start for the Yankees trying to atone for a horrible Opening Day start in which he gave up six runs in the first two innings to the Houston Astros before finishing with four scoreless innings.
Sabathia, 33, will be opposed by 23-year-old right-hander Drew Hutchison (1-0, 0.00 ERA), who shut out the Rays on three hits and three walks while striking out four in 5 1/3 innings in his 2014 debut.
Game-time will be 1:07 p.m. EDT and the game will be broadcast nationally by the MLB Network and locally by the YES Network.
Blue Jays Batter Claiborne To Rally Past Yankees
Melky Cabrera and Brett Lawrie combined for five hits and four RBIs to lead Toronto on Wednesday as they rallied from a 6-0 deficit to pound New York in front of a paid crowd of 5,541 at Florida Auto Exchange Stadium in Dunedin, FL.
The Yankees jumped on the Blue Jays' Opening Day starter R.A. Dickey for six runs on seven hits and four walks in four innings.
Carlos Beltran led the assault with a two-run double in the second inning and Kelly Johnson added a two-run single in the first as it appeared the Yankees would coast to an easy victory.
However, Preston Claiborne (0-1) had his spring nightmare continue as the Blue Jays scored eight runs in the fifth inning, six of them courtesy of Claiborne. The 26-year-old right-hander was shelled for six runs on four hits, a walk and a hitter batter as he did not retire any of the six batters he faced.
The big blows in the inning were a pair two-run singles by Adam Lind and Maicer Izturis. The hit by Izturis turned a 6-6 tie into a 8-6 lead for the Blue Jays.
Left-hander Brett Cecil (2-0) struck out a pair of batters en route to a perfect inning in the fifth to get credit for the victory.
With the loss, the Yankees dropped to a 15-12-2 Grapefruit League record. The Blue Jays improved to 13-13.
- Beltran was 2-for-3 with a double, a run scored and two RBIs in the game. Beltran is now 14-for-48 (.292) with two homers and nine RBIs this spring. The 36-year-old outfielder has at least one hit in his past seven games and is 11-for-23 (.478) during that span.
- Johnson has quietly had a productive spring. He was 1-for-2 with a walk, scored a run and drove in a pair. The 32-year-old infielder is 11-for-42 (.262) with a home run and seven RBIs this spring. He has been a bit shaky in the field at third but it looks as if he is going to contribute a lot offensively.
- The only pitcher who contributed much was Dellin Betances, who pitched a perfect sixth inning and struck out a batter. It appears that Betances, 26, has earned a spot in the bullpen after posting a 0.79 ERA in 11 1/3 innings over nine appearances. He also has struck out 10 batters while walking four.
- The Claiborne of 2013 was a promising right-handed reliever who sported a great ERA up until he was sent up and down to the minors four times in August. His final 13 appearances were awful but there was plenty to build upon entering 2014. But this spring Claiborne's struggles have continued. He is 0-1 with a 14.29 ERA having been shelled for nine runs on 14 hits and a walk in 5 2/3 innings. It appears that Claiborne is heading back to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to regain his confidence.
- After getting the final two outs in the fourth, Fred Lewis was tagged with a leadoff double by Ryan Goins and an RBI single by Cabrera. He ended up giving up two runs on two hits and a walk in two-thirds of an inning. Lewis entered the game having not yielded an earned run in his first eight appearances this spring. Lewis, 27, is battling Cesar Cabral for the lefty specialist role in the bullpen.
Outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury played five innings in center-field in a minor-league game on Wednesday and he reported no problems with his sore right calf that has shelved him since March 14. Ellbury was 1-for-4 with a walk in a Class-A game against the Pirates at the team's minor-league complex in Tampa, FL . . . The Yankees optioned catcher Austin Romine on Wednesday, which officially makes Francisco Cervelli the backup catcher to Brian McCann. Cervelli, 28, won the job by going 15-for-36 (.417) with a team-leading four homers and seven RBIs. . . . Outfielder and designated hitter Alfonso Soriano is receiving treatment for a sore right shoulder. Soriano was 1-for-2 with an RBI on Wednesday against the Blue Jays. Soriano will get a day off on Thursday and manager Joe Girardi told reporters he will re-evaluated.
The Yankees travel to Bradenton, FL, on Thursday to take on the Pittsburgh Pirates at McKechnie Field.
Left-hander CC Sabathia (2-1, 1.59 ERA) will make his fifth and final start of the spring before pitching the team's opener on April 1 in Houston against the Astros.
The Pirates will counter with right-hander Stolmy Pimentel (1-0, 3.86 ERA).
Game-time will be 1:05 p.m. EDT and the game will be broadcast live locally by the YES Network and on tape-delay nationally by the MLB Network at 6 p.m.
Nuno Stars But O's Edge 'Watered-Down' Yankees
Jonathan Schoop scored pinch-runner Jemile Weeks on a sacrifice fly in the seventh inning to break a 1-1 tie as Baltimore edged a New York split squad on Saturday at Ed Smith Stadium in Sarasota, FL.
Non-roster outfielder Delmon Young opened the seventh with a double of right-hander Mark Montgomery (0-1). Weeks pinch-ran for Young and stole third to set up Schoop's scoring fly ball.
Korean right-hander Suk-min Yoon (1-0) pitched a scoreless inning of relief in his first major-league appearance to get credit for the victory. Evan Meek pitched the ninth inning to earn his second save of the spring.
With most of the Yankees' best players either in Panama participating in the two-game Legends Series or resting at the team's spring complex in Tampa, FL, the Yankees – who brought 13 players who were not on their 40-man roster or who were not invited to spring training – scored their lone run of the game on a leadoff homer in the sixth inning by Francisco Arcia off Orioles starter Chris Tillman.
Tillman had held the Yankees scoreless on two hits and two walks and struck out five in five innings before Arcia's blast chased him from the game.
The Yankees, meanwhile, got four strong innings of shutout baseball from 26-year-old left-hander Vidal Nuno. Nuno yielded only a hit and a walk while he fanned three batters against an Orioles lineup that included starters Nick Markakis, J.J. Hardy, Nelson Cruz and Chris Davis.
Unfortunately for the Yankees, the Orioles tied the score with two out in the sixth when Davis launched his third home run of the spring off right-hander Danny Burawa.
The Yankees' Grapefruit League record slipped to 8-8-2. The Orioles improved their record to 10-5.
- Nuno made a strong case for the fifth spot in the rotation with his effort on Saturday. Nuno threw 38 of his 59 pitches for strikes and only reached three-ball counts on three hitters. Nuno spotted his fastball well and mixed in his off-speed pitches more to keep the Orioles off-balance. Though Michael Pineda is expected to get the No. 5 spot, Nuno showed he deserves some consideration. His spring ERA is now down to 1.50.
- Brian Roberts was one of the few starters to make the trip and he had a great day against his former teammates. Roberts was 2-for-3 and he also contributed a fine defensive play in the sixth inning to rob Cruz of a single. Roberts, 36, may not be Robinson Cano but he is a fine second baseman as long as he can stay healthy.
- Ramon Flores was 2-for-3 on Saturday, including a double and single. Flores, 21, is hitting only .217 this spring but, after a season where he hit .260 with six homers and 55 RBIs in 136 games at Double-A Trenton, he will have a chance to develop this season at Triple A.
- It may be time for Ichiro Suzuki to admit that his days in baseball are waning. He was 0-for-3 on Saturday and he is 3-for-24 (.125) this spring with only three singles and two RBIs. He has not really stung the ball much this spring either. Though the Yankees might be open to trade Suzuki, it is hard to see if there would be any suitors for his services. Suzuki is in the final year of two-year contract with the Yankees and he is slated to be the fifth outfielder this season.
- After getting off to a quick start with the bat this spring, Austin Romine has been slumping of late. Romine, 25, batted cleanup and was 0-for-2 with a walk on Saturday. He is 5-for-25 (.200) with no RBIs in 11 games. Though Romine is a superior defensive catcher, his weak bat makes it almost certain that Francisco Cervelli will win the backup catching job. Romine likely will be sent to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
- Burawa learned a valuable pitching lesson on Saturday. With two out in the sixth, Davis came up the plate for his last at-bat with his team trailing 1-0. Obviously Davis was thinking about hitting a home run to tie it. Burawa, 25, opted to pitch aggressively to Davis instead of making him hit pitches out of the strike zone. His 1-1 fastball was thigh high and Davis drove it deep to left-center and over the wall. If he had walked Davis, Burawa would then have pitched to Steve Pearce, a journeyman who had four homers last season. Davis hit 53. Duh!
The Yankees split squad returns to George M. Steinbrenner Field on Sunday to play host to the Atlanta Braves.
Free-agent right-hander Masahiro Tanaka will make his second start of the spring for the Yankees. Catcher Brian McCann and Mark Teixeira are also scheduled to play in the game.
McCann's former team will start right-hander Julio Teheran. Brothers Justin and B.J. Upton, Jason Heyward and Andrelton Simmons are scheduled to make the trip for the Braves.
Game-time will be 1:05 p.m. EDT and the game will be broadcast by the YES Network and MLB Radio through WFAN (660-AM/99.1-FM).
Almonte's Homer In 9th Lets Yankees Salvage Tie
TAMPA - The Tigers got four strong innings out of right-hander Anibal Sanchez and they pounded Hiroki Kuroda for six runs but New York rallied late to pull into a 7-7 tie after 10 innings at George M. Steinbrenner Field on Wednesday.
Sanchez gave up one run on three hits, did not walk a batter while striking out three.
Meanwhile, Kuroda was tagged for six runs on 10 hits and no walks in 3 2/3 innings.
The Tigers onslaught was led by Nick Castellanos, who smacked a two-run double to key a four-run first, and Trevor Crowe, who added a two-run double in the third inning.
The Yankees got a pair of solo home runs from backup catcher Francisco Cervelli, who connected for one in the third inning off Sanchez and one off reliever Evan Reed in the fifth.
The Yankees scored three runs in the eighth off reliever Ian Krol, keyed by a two-run bases-loaded ground-rule double by Zelous Wheeler.
Zoilo Almonte tied the game in the ninth with a two-run homer off Jose Ortega.
Neither team scored in the 10th inning and the game ended in a tie.
The Yankees' spring record is now 7-5-2. The Tigers are 7-6-1.
- Cervelli is having a breakout spring and he has virtually locked up the backup catching job over Austin Romine and John Ryan Murphy. Cervelli is out of options anyway. So it will be an easy call for the Yankees unless they opt to trade Cervelli.
- Give the youngsters some credit for rallying late to tie the game. They did the same thing on Sunday against the Rays. Almonte is buried behind a bunch of veterans and free agents but the Yankees feel he will benefit from a full season at Triple A after being rushed to the majors last season.
- The relievers held the Tigers to one unearned run on three hits over the last 6 1/3 innings to allow the Yankees to come back. Shawn Kelley looked particularly good, pitching a perfect frame in the fifth.
- Kuroda downplayed his poor outing but it was frustrating because CC Sabathia struggled so much the day before against the Nationals. Kuroda just could not keep his pitches down and I am not sure it is anything to worry about. Of course, if it happens again we might worry more.
- Ichiro Suzuki, Derek Jeter, Carlos Beltran and Brian Roberts were a combined 0-for-12 with five strikeouts. We need offense from these guys. They need to pick it up soon.
The Yankees will play a pair of games on Thursday.
Right-hander Michael Pineda will start at home as the Yankees play host to the Baltimore Orioles.
Meanwhile, Ivan Nova will start against the Philadelphia Phillies at Bright House Field in Clearwater, FL.
Both games are at 1:05 p.m. EDT.
The YES Network will broadcast the home game locally. There is no scheduled broadcast of the road contest.

This tie is simply darling and I was very pleased to receive it! It was perfect and didn't need very much adjusting to get the perfect fit. It adds a simple cuteness to my outfits and I've gotten many compliments on it! You don't have to be in school to wear these, wearing them as an every day accessory is fun and unique! Definitely planning to buy more colors.

This tie is exactly what I needed for my daughter's school uniform, color and style are spot on. Sturdy and durable, easy to wash, and the color does not change.

I order this item on January 8th and received it yesterday on the 18th, however that really wasn't a big issue for me and it was totally worth it. The material is synthetic, yet comfortable, and it comes with an adjustable strap which was nice. However that does make it a little bulky and it might look weird if you don't hide it under a collar. Also the button is a little hard to snap closed, which makes me nervous but either way however, it is totally adorable and definitely worth the price!

These ties were amazing for a choral section of little girls who sang in our black history program. They looked very nice on the girls and we were very satisfied with them. The price was excellent and the presentation was ever better.

Climate Change: 'Hoax' Or Crime Of The Century? Comments
Last week, we promised readers a little balance on the issue of global warming here on Catholic Online. After running a series of stories highlighting what I feel is a critical issue to the Church and to all people, readers asked for some balance. To find that balance, I set out in search of a well-versed climate change skeptic who could share his views with our readers. Continue Reading

Thank you for including this viewpoint on climate change. What I would love to see above all other formats, are series of debates between 2 - 4 qualified people from differing perspectives on this subject. I'm not looking for "shock" programs with shouting matches, but legitimate, controlled debates where the audience can come away with informed views put forward in respectful disagreement with each other.
A difficult impediment to genuine debate is the extreme polarization of conflicting ideas (no "climate pun" intended - but noted nevertheless ;-) Terms such as "alarmists," "conspiracy theorists" (used on both sides of the argument), and "manipulators" (referring to use of false or trumped up science) lead to this polarization and a great deal of confusion, both of which serve to muddle the issues considerably.
Hopefully such debates can replace much of what has been used to date - presentations of singular viewpoints or, if different viewpoints are included, they are dealt with in a manner that favors the "shock & awe" blasts of shouting matches, leading to chaos and confusion.
On with DEBATE!
Thank you,

Amazing that the same lies are being repeated about AGW., but in what is supposed to be a Catholic blog. Every scientific institute on earth accepts the IPCC reports. Every country in the world has agreed to reduce burning fossil fuels on the strength of the IPCC reports. Thousands of scientists have contributed to the reports.
Any article that starts with these words " climate change alarmists "is appealing to a small audience of conspiracy theorists and not to educated Catholics.The alarmists are again every National Academy in the world that endorsed the IPCC reports,and every science institute on the planet. To be published in Forbes newspaper is not the same as being published in a science journal. If you want to present balance then use the 98% of climatologists and then the 1% that are attached to dirty coal. That would be balance. You could try the 30,000 peer reviewed papers that support AGW and balance that with any peer reviewed papers that do not accept what has been known for over a hundred years.

As a trained scientist (physics) working in research and development for over 40 years, I have been aghast at the claims of the global-warming group and at the flawed statistical measures used to prove their point. In any investigation where statistical measures are used, all points have to be considered and the measurement methods must be scrutinized. None of this was done by the proponents of global warming. Measurements of temperature were often taken in populated areas, near shopping malls with large parking lots, and in other areas where industry or traffic could cause localized temperature rise. Measurements in rural areas with no hot spots were largely ignored. This is bad science. It is political correctness run amuck, and it appears to be promoted by those who stand to reap great profit from the panic caused. No valid scientific endeavor shuts off debate as has this global warming proponent group. Scientific debate tempers investigation; it does not curtail it. If global warming is fact, and if the human element is also a fact, then these will stand up to debate and investigation. If not, then the proponents should acknowledge their error and stop the vilification of their opponents.
Thanks for these articles. It is good that a balance is being sought on this issue.

Thank you Deacon, for putting in both sides. I, like most above, believe this to be much more the case. I fully support as a Catholic that we must do what we can to be environmentally astute but not stupid. We need to benefit mankind with our actions. The comment above about too much carbon being released has never studied any air pollution source information. Carbon emissions from the smokey mountain forest dwarfs anthropogenic carbon emissions worldwide. Carbon emissions from forest fires is so much more than man generated sources. Carbon monoxide is the only carbon based pollutant that man made sources generate more than natural sources. The California coast produces more PM10 pollution than all manmade particulate pollution in the world by 9:1. I agree with nuclear power, except we can't figure out what to do with the waste. I work at a coal fired power plant and am working on projects to increase capacity without burning more coal, saving water and decreasing costs all at the same time. We just need to be smart with what we have. God gave the world carbon based resources to use. We just need to do it better. Get the government out of these things and let smart business rule it and you will see change.

Thank you Mr. Hendrickson for finally putting the truth out there. Global warming/climate change IS a hoax and a crime combined. I have been posting that same information on this board for weeks. Of course, I couldn't relay it scientifically, but nevertheless, I agree with you completely. The people of America and this world are the victims of the biggest scam of the century. It is a scam to rob of us of our money, dignity and freedoms, not to mention population control. I keep telling people to read the United Nations report on Sustainability and Development. It's all there. Thank you again. Maybe it will wake people up. God bless.

Congratulations Mark, on presenting a bit more balance in this discussion. As Obi won Kanobi told Luke Skywalker, "you just stepped into a new world', or something to that effect.

I am very impressed with Catholic Online for having the courage, wisdom, and integrity to print the opposing view. This attitude has been extremely rare the media, which tends to be "politically correct" on this issue, which is extremely incorrect on this issue. My Master's is in societal futures and I have been studying this and related issues since the 70s when the "sky is falling" crowd was panicked about global cooling. My research over the past four decades completely supports the information in this article. Thank you Catholic Online for publishing this opposing view.

Global warming is a "sexy" subject for many, but like the author of this article, I think it is a hoax, or at least how we interpret it. A good way for some scientists to gain funding for their "green" researches, even if these may well be valuable, (and I do worry that some valuable researches are so dependent on being able to find sponsors). Likewise a wonderful excuse for politicians to get their way over their citizens for many oppressive policies.
Many old houses in England, for instance, have orangeries. At one time these were used to grow oranges, something that could be done more easily because the climate here at the time was warmer. I believe that our climate changes run in cycles and that if we are warming up now, we are simply returning to former warmer times, as they had when the orangeries were in use.

In my opinion
We need to replace the fossil fuel power plants, the primary source of GHG. Now!
At a scale required to accomplish this task :
Ethanol starves people : not a viable option.
Fracking releases methane : not a viable option.
Cellulose Bio Fuel Uses Food Land : not a viable option
Solar uses food land : Not a viable option
Wind is Intermittent : Not a viable option
All Human and Agricultural Organic Waste can be converted to hydrogen, through exposure intense radiation!
The Radioactive Materials exist now, and the Organic waste is renewable daily.
Ending the practice of dumping sewage into our water sources.
Air, Water, Food and Energy issues, receive significant positive impacts .
Reducing illness / health care costs as well !

We're putting more carbon into the atmosphere than nature can handle. That causes global warming. http://clmtr.lt/cb/qWd0Z1

Democratic gubernatorial hopeful William Daley called Wednesday on Cardinal Francis George to back off his threat to cut off funding to an immigrant-rights coalition because of its support for same-sex marriage legislation at the Statehouse.
"My view on marriage equality and those of immigrant-aid groups who have similar views really are irrelevant to our collective duty to help those who are less fortunate," Daley wrote in a letter to George.
Daley becomes the latest and one of the most prominent political voices to date to join in the pushback at George for his targeting of the Illinois Coalition of Immigrant and Refugee Rights, which has come out in support for same-sex marriage in the state.
As a lifelong Roman Catholic, Daley said he was "proud our church has been such a leader on the issue of comprehensive immigration reform.

The Kane Wolves played with the Ridgway Elkers for a quarter but the Elkers outscored the Wolves 16-5 in the second quarter and cruised to the 62-35 victory in the Wolves' Den on Friday night.
The Kane Lady Wolves outlasted the DuBois Central Catholic Lady Cardinals on Tuesday night in the Wolves' Den.
2012 was a good year for photography, although the year started out slow.
Photography subjects were few and far between, and I was beginning to think maybe this might be an off year for nature photography.
The Kane Lady Wolves completely dominated the second half Friday in a convincing 52-37 girls basketball home win over rival Johnsonburg.Â
JOHNSONBURG – Talk about scoring points in bunches.
On a night where everything seemed to be going in, the Johnsonburg Rams (8-1) stretched their winning streak to four games.
Senior Kaila Jamerson's 23 points helped to propel Kane to a big lead early against the Curwensville Golden Tide on Wednesday night in the Wolves' Den. Jamerson had eight points in the first three and a half minutes of the game as the Lady Wolves dominated the action in the paint.
DUKE CENTER – The Kane Lady Wolves' basketball team took home the 41st Annual Otto-Eldred Holiday Tournament title with a 55-46 win over Sheffield on Saturday. The Lady Wolves won the tournament for the fourth consecutive year.
The Kane Wolves lost to Cameron County by 15 points last week in their final game before the holiday break. The Wolves took on the same Red Raider squad in the opening game of Thursday's Sheffield Sports Boosters' Holiday Tournament, but this time the Kane squad gave the team from Emporium all they could handle. While Kane coach Brian Wymer's squad lost to Cameron County by a score of 64-55, the game was a one-point contest into the fourth quarter.
I was now awakening to my first full day in Katmai National Park in southwestern Alaska. I had finally seen some monster Alaskan brown bears in their natural habitat. The weather had held out, being cool and very comfortable with temperatures in the high 60s and low 70s. I was enjoying Mother Nature's air conditioning, unaware of the near 100-degree temperatures both in Kane and in the lower 48 for July 2011.
This past Saturday, 19 of Kane's JO Wrestlers traveled to compete at Salamanca, N.Y. The team went up against wrestlers from Erie, Gowanda, Coudersport, Olean, and Hornell, to name a few. Kane took the second-place team trophy as well as earned individually, six first-place trophies, one second-place trophy, three third-place trophies, and two fourth-place trophies. The JO wrestler's will be in Shinglehouse Dec. 29.

Gravity Levels:
Music is a soul of every living being on the planet. It works as a fixed mechanism that can't exist without rhythm, full of various sounds (birds singing, gloomy sounds); they inspire life, full of emotions that make the very soul rise, as if there is no gravitation, or dip into the depth, full of darkness.
On the radio show "Gravity Levels" Thomas Create reveals, correlates and balances all emotions as yin yang into one entity, that will full your souls with striking moments! Just take the pleasure and enjoy your life!

British soldiers in Afghanistan are
reportedly facing severe shortages of helicopters and armored
vehicles. The Daily Telegraph reports only half the Apache
helicopters assigned to British forces in the country are operable
and just 70 percent of the Chinook transport helicopters are
available for use.
A Daily Telegraph reporter spent three weeks with troops in the
Helmand province and discovered what was termed an "alarming"
amount of deficiencies, the newspaper reported.
Of 96 new armored vehicles allotted to troops in the Helmand
province, only 16 have been delivered. Soldiers have reportedly
resorted to "scrounging" equipment from a small Estonian contingent
serving alongside them.
Things are getting so bad that one garrison was down to its last
200 mortar rounds because there were no available helos to supply
them, according to the Yorkshire Post.
The Ministry of Defense said that more equipment was on the
"Our military commanders have the helicopters required to
provide combat and medical support for our troops in combat. These
helicopters have proved vital to the success of our operation in
Afghanistan which is why we are spending (more than) $456 million
making 14 additional aircraft for deployment over the next two
years," said a spokeswoman.
"There is no shortage of combat fighting vehicles in
Afghanistan. We are part of a coalition and so we share assets,"
she added.
The Telegraph also claims engineers travel in soft-skinned
trucks while carrying explosives and soldiers use their personal
binoculars because those issued by the Army are inadequate.
The Duke of Gloucester was reported to have had to cancel a
frontline visit because no Apaches available.
The situation is reportedly causing some morale problems.
Combine lack of proper equipment with less-than-desirable pay
scales and the British Army could be facing the loss of seasoned
An engineer with 11 years in the service told the Telegraph
reporter he had recently decided against reenlistment for just
those reasons. He only received about $1.50 a day pay raise for a
promotion from senior corporal to junior sergeant.
"It's just not worth staying on," he said. "I will have to spend
(almost) $800 on a new mess kit and (about) $118 a month on the
mess bill rather than the (nearly) $32 I currently pay."

Project Ceasefire
KC man sentenced to 17 years for illegal firearm
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – David M. Ketchmark, Acting United States Attorney for the Western District of Missouri, announced that a Kansas City, Mo., man was sentenced in federal court today for illegally possessing a firearm.
Tyrone Harris, 46, of Kansas City, was sentenced by Senior U.S. District Judge Gary Fenner to 17 years and 6 months in federal prison without parole. Harris has 12 prior felony convictions, including eight for burglary. Because his prior felonies made him an Armed Career Criminal, Harris was subject to a mandatory sentence of at least 15 years.
On February 3, 2012, Harris pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm. On January 29, 2011, police arrested Harris after finding him asleep on a bench in the Greyhound bus station lobby. The officers then discovered a .380 caliber pistol in Harris's right front pants pocket.
It is illegal for anyone who has been convicted of a felony to be in possession of any firearm or ammunition.
This case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Christina Y. Tabor. It was investigated by the Kansas City, Mo., Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Project Ceasefire
Project Ceasefire, launched in October 1999, is a cooperative initiative by federal and local law enforcement and the Kansas City Crime Commission that targets for federal prosecution persons who unlawfully use or possess firearms.

A Manhattan jury Thursday found now-former City Councilman Larry Seabrook guilty of nine out of 12 charges including mail and wire fraud after being accused of sending taxpayer dollars to Bronx nonprofits he controlled. NY1's Courtney Gross filed the following report.
He walked in to court Thursday morning as a representative from the Northeast Bronx.
Hours later, hand in hand with his wife, Larry Seabrook was no longer a councilman as he walked out.
After deliberating for two days, a jury convicted the former Bronx lawmaker of nine of the 12 federal corruption charges he faced. Those charges include conspiracy, mail fraud and wire fraud.
It was the second time he faced the charges. Last year, his case ended in a hung jury.
"I continue to have faith in God, faith in the system, faith in my attorneys and faith in where we are going to go and my wife and my family," Seabrook said after the decision was announced Thursday. "I continue to have faith and I continue to believe in the system and I'll prepare myself for whatever is next."
A felony conviction means Seabrook is immediately ejected from the City Council, where he has served since 2001.
Mayor Bloomberg is expected to schedule a special election to replace Seabrook for November.
Seabrook was found guilty of directing about $2 million in city tax dollars to nonprofit groups that he was in control of.
Those tax dollars were used to pay the salary of his girlfriend and consultant fees for his family, even those that lived out of state.
Prosecutors said these people did little, if any, work. They successfully argued Seabrook defrauded the city's taxpayers.
On Thursday, Seabrook, wouldn't say whether he would appeal.
"We're talking to my attorneys and then we'll find out what's the next step," he said.
Seabrook was acquitted of money laundering. He was accused of receiving kickbacks from a Bronx boilermaker who he put up for a job at the new Yankee Stadium.
