'Sup WM,
Dude, you have to archive your talk page, it is already too long :P
Want me to help you, or do you know how to archive yourself? -- ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 03:30, August 23, 2012 (UTC)
Hey Ilan, nice to see you. I'm clueless as to how I would archive my talkpage, so any help you could give me would be appreciated. Thank you! Winter Moon (talk) 21:35, August 23, 2012 (UTC)
- Done :) -- ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 04:21, August 24, 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you! Winter Moon (talk) 21:16, August 24, 2012 (UTC)
I don't know, where to write it, so I write it here (since you are welcome commitee). You should consider to change some color schemes of navboxes etc. Do you think that e.g. this is readable? Yellow font on white background for link side and light blue background and grey font on other side? Really? --Silesian (talk) 12:09, September 3, 2012 (UTC)
Hmm, that is a good point. I always just highlight it, but I think it would be a good idea to have either a darker color for the navbox or a darker color for the lettering. Since I don't know much about changing templates or coloring, I think I'll drop ILan a message. Thanks for bringing that to my attention; it was never a thing I really thought about. Winter Moon (talk) 13:09, September 3, 2012 (UTC)
- I don't know how to change the colors. I suggest you'll ask help from a Wikia helper. -- `ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 14:08, September 3, 2012 (UTC)
- Good idear. Do you know anyone who we could ask? Winter Moon (talk) 16:03, September 3, 2012 (UTC)
Block Request
You're the first admin I saw. Block him: User:Garnergamer. He thinks that Yahoo Answers is a reliable resource and is practically spamming it all over the talk page of GTA V Protag. Cheers, 03:06, September 11, 2012 (UTC)
He's now blocked for two weeks, for adding false informatyion and specs. Why didn't you block him first? :P -- ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 17:25, September 11, 2012 (UTC)
Good to hear it. As for why I didn't block him, I guess I didn't want to seem like I was jumping the gun by blocking him after he ignored my message once, and I got off my computer before he reverted everything after my second message. So what do you use as a blocking policy (when you should stop warning someone and block them, for how long, etc)? Because I'm having a little trouble coming up with a good system, so any ideas of yours would be appreciated. Winter Moon (talk) 22:37, September 11, 2012 (UTC)
- Well, he did recieved warnings about his edits, not by me but by you, Cody and Dragos and Faizan. While he did understand his edits were wrong, the deeds (his edits) have benn done, though I'm thinking on shorting his block. -- ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 14:12, September 12, 2012 (UTC)
hi i would like to know why my photo File:Salvatore Leone.png was deleted it offered a much higher resolution and close up face shot of salvatore leone Myuntoldfunstory (talk) 04:16, November 6, 2012 (UTC)
Hello! I'm not quite sure why the picture was deleted (I did not delete it), but by checking the revision history of the Salvatore Leone page, you can find the user who did, and ask them why they deleted it. I'm sure that they'll be able to help you, but if you have any other questions, just let me know! Winter Moon (talk) 00:11, November 7, 2012 (UTC)

GTA V pages
Unlocking GTA V Pages
I know I'm asking for a bit much but it's been messing with my head for a while, can you unlock some GTA V pages for me to edit, there are some things to add on those pages and I know some of you guys are busy at times. And sometimes get a bit upset seeing Trevor, Franklin, and Michael's page along with the GTA V main page so empty. Like I said, I know I'm asking for a bit much but I just want to add the full info about them (no fandom or speculation about it, just 100% released info). -- Painkill (talk) 22:32, December 16, 2012 (UTC)
Yeah, sure, we can unlock the GTA V pages for a while. I don't mind. -- ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 04:57, December 17, 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for doing that! Winter Moon (talk) 00:45, December 18, 2012 (UTC)
Good to Know
Finally, I can edit those pages and like I said, no fandom! And enjoy the Features in GTA V page I just made. Cheers!Painkill (talk) 05:10, December 17, 2012 (UTC)
Glad to hear it, and I will take a look at that page. Can't wait for more GTA V information in the months to come. Winter Moon (talk) 00:45, December 18, 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for opening it but I won't be able to edit it until tommorrow (I have to study for my math test) and once again thank for opening and sorry about the short notice message... Painkill (talk) 05:04, December 18, 2012 (UTC)
Not a problem; I have finals too. I was not the one who opened the pages (I think it was Ilan xd), but I'm glad that they're open for editing now. Winter Moon (talk) 23:22, December 18, 2012 (UTC)
Hey There WM.
I have to ask how I can see my changes to the Wiki GTA V Talk. I got a notification saying that it was edited, but every time I click it, it puts me back to the main archive page. Help please! UndeadMarston84 (talk) 02:35, January 30, 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for the reply on my earlier message but I have another problem. The Japanese Yakuza and the Colombian Cartel were present in the GTA III's and GTA: LCS' rendition of Liberty City. Why were they removed in GTA IV? And if they made it in the game, what were their possible weapons and gang cars?
Thanks for the last one. Appreciate it.Fireupthecossie (talk) 04:13, March 14, 2013 (UTC)
You're welcome. I'm not sure why the Japanese Yakuza and Colombian Cartel were removed from GTA IV, but if I had to guess, it's because Rockstar wanted to try something different and use new gangs as enemies. If they made it into the game, I would guess that the Yakuza would have driven a variant of one of the sports cars in the game (kinda like the Yakuza Stinger from GTA III) and used the Micro Uzi and Pistol. And as for the Colombian Cartel, they probably would have driven a variant of the Cavalcade FXT or Contender, and used the Pistol, Micro-Uzi, MP5, AK-47, and M4. Please remember, though, that because I don't have GTA III and used the pages on the Yakuza and Cartel as references, this is all just pure speculation on my part, so you're free to accept it or dismiss it. Winter Moon (talk) 14:02, March 15, 2013 (UTC)
I see. Well, thanks for the response, even if it's just a blind guess. But I have a lot of questions bothering me for some time now so I hope you have a large amount of patience and understanding. How would the storyline turn out if Pegorino asked Niko to kill Phil Bell instead of Ray Boccino? Why didn't Rockstar put the APC tank and the Dodo into GTA IV? And lastly, Why wasn't Florian Cravic a friend of Niko's? And if he did, what kind of ability would he unlock? On the last one, I figured out that since he was dating the Deputy Mayor Bryce Dawkins, his ability would be putting off the police and the NOOSE for Niko in a chase. But I'm not so sure. Is it correct or is it just a guess?
Even if your answers would be as good as mine, I'll value your conclusions. Thanks.Fireupthecossie (talk) 16:18, March 15, 2013 (UTC)
Hmmm... I'm willing to bet that the overall storyline wouldn't be changed (whether you kill Playboy X or Dwayne, Francis or Derrick doesn't change it either), but it would definitely change some dialogue, rewards, and post-mission phone calls (if you kill Dwayne or Derrick and then call Roman, Niko expresses guilt, while if you kill Playboy X or Francis, Niko feels that he did the right thing; I'm guessing that killing Phil would get the first result and Ray, the second). Something that they could have added would be a random encounter with Phil's ex-wife, in which Niko would have to beat up her second ex-husband (kind of like the random encounter with Cherise, I know) and if you spared Phil, his ex would say something about how Phil doesn't keep bad company and that she's going to give him a call, and afterward, Niko would say something about Phil being closer to the American dream than anyone else that he's met. But if you spared Ray, his ex would talk about what a shame it was that they would never know what could have been, and afterward, Niko would say something about how he should have killed Ray instead. The APC and Dodo question is a bit simpler; to paraphrase something that Cave Johnson said, they were throwing game mechanics at the wall to see what stuck, and my guess is that they wanted to move away from crazy over-the-top fun (which is what the GTA III era was all about) and take a gander at extreme realism (there wouldn't really be any need to cruise around in a tank or fly around in a plane in the GTA IV renedition of Liberty City, even though both appeared in GTA III just for fun). As for why Florian doesn't become a friend of Niko's... maybe Rockstar didn't want the player to feel swamped with friends, or maybe they felt that he would seem too much like the other friends (he probably would have been). For his special ability, though, Kiki can already clear Niko's wanted level, so I think that he could have delivered sports cars to Niko (from Bryce's garage), as this was a benefit that appeared in both DLC's (with bikes and cars, courtesy of Clay and Henrique), but not in the original game. Again, though, this is all just purely speculation on my part, so you're free to accept it or dismiss it. Winter Moon (talk) 14:40, March 16, 2013 (UTC)

It's been a long time since we last talked....thanks for the introduction. I have a question. Do you still remember those Russians that Real Badman wants dead? I'm wondering, are they under Petrovic's or Rascalov's?--Fireupthecossie (talk) 12:10, March 5, 2013 (UTC)
You're welcome. I'm not quite sure about the gang affiliation of the Russians in Badman's random encounter, as the game only identifies them as "Russian gang members". I'm sorry, but that's as good as I can do. Winter Moon (talk) 22:34, March 8, 2013 (UTC)

Afliates, Official Twitter/Facebook
Hey there, Winter Moon.My name is Doug and I'm a member of Wikia's Community Development Team! I was stopping by to ask a few questions about the GTA wiki. With GTA V's release coming up later this year, how would you feel about starting up an Affliates program on the wiki to gain more traffic and vistors? These can be to other wikis or external sites depending on your preference. There could be a link to them on a main page, or on a seperate Affliates page. (They would look something like this.) The decision to make this network is entirely your call!
We are also going to be creating an official GTA Wiki Twitter/Facebook to help promote the great content here. What kind of content/updates would you like to see through these social networks? You are more than welcome to provide content/help out in any way if you wish.
Thank you! Doug (profile)•(talk)•(email) 01:20, March 16, 2013 (UTC)

Isolated or not?
Hey there, Winter Moon! It's been a long time since we last talked (I think over 3 months) and apologies for my absence. I'm here to inquire about something. You see, I've been playing GTA: LCS on the PSP recently and in the mission Cam-Pain, I noticed that at the end of the starting cutscene, the vehicle I used to get there disapperared and I had a 40% decrease in health. Is this glitch only in the PSP or is it also in the PS2 as well?
One more thing; which is better in your opinion; GTA:LCS or GTA:VCS? I would like to get a response to it.--Fireupthecossie (talk) 13:19, April 19, 2013 (UTC)
Apologies for my late response. I'm not sure how helpful I can be, as I have not actually played LCS or VCS, if you can believe it. I'm still a PC gamer, so I'm limited to VC, SA, and IV. My advice would be to ask one of the other admins who has played LCS and/or VCS who would be able to answer your question. Sorry. Winter Moon (talk) 00:07, May 1, 2013 (UTC)
just some research
Hey dude, i just discover new glitch or world i think. i first trigger the flying cars cheat (where car flying like plane) and NPC cars fly vertically while being bumped by player's vehicle cheat, then i enter a clover and VERY VERY SLOWLY bump it to NPC car (sabre), the i quickly dismount and jack sabre (or maybe hijack because the sabre already slowly flying vertically), while i in the sabre, the sabre still slowly flying vertically, then i force to move the sabre like move it to the right, left,etc, the sabre rolling up in the air like rollercoaster, that just the start, i forwarding the sabre to up to the sky and the sabre fly in a very high speed with the nose up to the sky!! it cant stop! i will keep flying even when my controller are 5 meter from my hand! i wiiiiiiilll keeeeepp fllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyying even pass sky limit(where planes and other air vehicle are not able to fly up more) to the high skies! i discover the new world my friend...... i will named it "space's cloud" I THE FIRST WHO FOUND IT! ANY COPYRIGHTED ISSUES WILL BE DEALT BY AN HIGH LAW!! ohh yeah after i investage, that sky is not a HIDDEN INTERIOR UNIVERSE! is just a sky that have clouds.
So then prepare for long editing............
I'll have to try that one out; it sounds like it would be a good addition to the "Glitches" page. Winter Moon (talk) 00:07, May 1, 2013 (UTC)
Allright, but the high skies is discovery, the glitch is how'd you get to the high skies

Born in England, Morrison was raised in both Germany and the United States before his family settled in London, where he attended Kingston College of Art and the Royal College of Art. During school, Morrison was influenced by the work of the Memphis designers out of Milan for their conceptual approach to design. His early work caught the attention of critics and when Morrison was asked to speak at a design conference in Milan, he instead staged a slide show of juxtaposed images. This became the basis of the book "A World Without Words" and in turn piqued the interest of Rolf Fehlbaum, the chairman of Vitra. Read more >

I am looking for a semi-dri wetsuit and I have the Novia scotia by scuba pro in mind along with the Waterproof SD COMBAT. Im going to be diving in quarries in the Midwest region. I am 54"and about 120lbs. I would like suggestions from anyone.
Hi guys, Do you have the Waterproof Combat semi dry for women in stock yet (ill be ordering a medium). If not do you have a date available? Thanks so much and have a great day. Sophie
Includes Hydra 5/7MM Hood, Side Zippered Pockets, All Black
Combine a snug fit with a Drysuit zipper and stunning design and you end up with a high-class semidry. All black combat style suit with two expandable POWER POCKETS on the thighs. Features include an anatomical design, super stretch neoprene seals, inner plush lining and unique 3-Dimentional hard-core rubber Knee Guards to mention just a few. The SD Combat bridges the gap between a Drysuit and a Wetsuit. Dry enough to keep the Diver warm in colder water, yet still with the snug fit and nice feeling of a high-class wetsuit. Facilitates longer dives in warmer environment and lower air consumption due to less heat loss.

"If there is no struggle there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom and yet deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning." — Frederick Douglass. No doubt many of you will take the opportunity during the holiday break to see the movie Lincoln, Steven Spielberg's much-acclaimed dramatization of Abraham Lincoln's determined and ultimately successful 1865 fight for the passage of the 13th Amendment that abolished slavery. I came away from the movie impressed with its gripping depiction of the legislative maneuvering and horse-trading that Lincoln employed to win passage of the amendment. However, I am concerned that the movie leaves the false impression that the fight to end slavery was waged solely by White men in Washington and White (as well as a few Black) soldiers on the battlefield.

The Pentagon says the top American commander in Afghanistan, Gen. John Allen, is under investigation for alleged "inappropriate communications" with Jill Kelley, the woman who is said to have received threatening emails from Paula Broadwell, the woman with whom former CIA Director David Petraeus had an extramarital affair.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta says the FBI referred the matter to the Pentagon on Sunday. Panetta says he ordered a Pentagon investigation of Allen on Monday.
A senior defense official, who discussed the matter only on condition of anonymity because it is under investigation, said Allen's communications were with Kelley, who has been described as an unpaid social liaison at MacDill Air Force Base, Fla., which is headquarters to the U.S. Central Command.
Petraeus resigned as CIA director on Friday.

Augments need some slight tweaking in the next errata, but not as much as some other cards.
1. MD Augment: I think her subtype should not be Magic Doll. It makes Doll rush too SP efficient and Command Dolls sacrifice abilities too efficient too. She should just be the Augments free revivor.
2. Overdose: Maybe make it so it can't target MD Augment or remove the +1 SP it refunds for being used on Augments.
3. Gaiasoul: Like Icy mentioned, maybe elaborate the condition as "If any sphere above 0, set one friendly unit HP = 0"
4. Augment Sorcerer: He is "Abyssal Forces" but shouldn't it be "Augment" according to name.
What do you think?

Today, DOE officially kicked off its annual DOE Feeds Families campaign to assist local food banks in replenishing supplies during the summer months. DOE and NNSA employees can participate throughout the summer by dropping off non-perishable food items in boxes located throughout the Forrestal, Germantown and L'Enfant buildings or at field offices.
About the photo: Joy Viars and Abel Romero from NNSA's management and business office (NA-MB) show support for the annual DOE Feeds Families campaign.
B&W Pantex Biologist Jim Ray works closely with West Texas A&M University to track and study the wildlife living on the Pantex site. Pantex is currently studying how wind energy can impact the surrounding ecosystems and has studied rattlesnakes and horned lizards for more than a decade. For more information, click here.
B&W Pantex General Manager John Woolery welcomed the Pantex Summer Interns at a picnic lunch held at the Pantex Fire Department on last week. Woolery presented each one with a token of appreciation and took photos with them. Following lunch, the interns were taken on a tour of the Emergency Operations Center.
Pantex has 19 summer interns this year. Social events such as the luncheon are held to introduce the students to Plant management, provide a social gathering so the interns can meet each other, and provide an opportunity for the interns to learn more about Pantex operations.

The Kansas City Plant celebrated yet another milestone at the National Security Campus with a recent visit from NNSA's Steve Goodrum, Assistant Deputy Administrator for Stockpile Management.
Employees gathered to celebrate the delivery of the continuous and seamless W76-1 Fireset and AF&F production capability throughout the move to the National Security Campus. Being one of the first production areas to move, the team partnered with NNSA and Sandia National Laboratories to identify and procure equipment, tooling, fixtures and gauges in time to support dual operations during relocation.
The effort included:
• 300+ items totaling more than $13 million procured and relocated without incident,
• 10 testers moved and four new testers built, and
• 72 large pieces of equipment spanning across seven different departments moved.
Goodrum spoke about the importance of the work done at KCP as the first facility to pick up and move within the National Security Enterprise and congratulated employees on their efforts on executing on commitments while keeping safety and security a priority.
The National Security Campus is a significant part of DOE's shift to a more efficient 21st century Nuclear Security Enterprise. The modern campus showcases innovation and cost savings, highlighted by environmentally friendly features and space management.
In January, KCP began the complex task of moving manufacturing, laboratory and office equipment from its current location at the Bannister Federal Complex. Over the 19-month relocation schedule, about 3,000 truckloads will transport more than 2,800 pieces of equipment ranging from desk size to tractor trailer size. Estimates are that the entire move will use 30,000 crates – which if stacked would be more than five times the height of Mount Everest.
About the photos:

Sandia National Laboratories recently hosted the seventh annual Western National Robot Rodeo and Capability Exercise, a five-day event that brought together civilian and military bomb squad teams from across the country to see who can most effectively defuse dangerous situations with the help of robots.

Pantexans showed their community spirit last week when employees, along with their families and friends, volunteered their time at two local nonprofit organizations.
More than 40 volunteers came to an event called America Supports You, Texas to assemble care packages for our troops in Afghanistan. America Supports You, Texas was founded in 2005 to create awareness and support for active military men and women, as well as veterans in our area. More than 200 boxes filled with snacks, personal care items and books were mailed overseas the next morning.
Another group of Pantexans and their families went to the High Plains Food Bank to lend a hand with its community garden. The garden was severely damaged in hail storms last month. The majority of the garden's produce benefits children and afterschool programs throughout the year.
The garden has only two full-time employees and relies heavily on volunteers to help out. With the help of the Pantexan volunteers, the garden is expected to recover and produce fruits and vegetables well into the fall season.
Nonprofit organizations received more than $180,000 from Los Alamos National Security (LANS), LLC, during a recent recognition event in Los Alamos.
LANS contributions are determined by the number of volunteer hours logged by Los Alamos National Laboratory employees and retirees through a web-based organization called VolunteerMatch and through the Los Alamos Retired Seniors Volunteer Program (RSVP).

NNSA's Sequoia supercomputer, housed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, is now listed as the third fastest supercomputer in the world according to the industry-standard Top500 list.
Sequoia, which recently completed its transition to classified computing in support of NNSA's Stockpile Stewardship Program, helps ensure the safety, security and effectiveness of the nation's aging nuclear weapons stockpile without the use of underground testing. Sequoia was first delivered in 2011 and has achieved 17.17 petaflops on the Linpack benchmark using 1,572,864 cores. Sequoia is also one of the most energy efficient systems on the list, consuming a total of 7.84 MW and delivering 2,031.6 Mflops/W.
Vulcan made its first appearance on the Top500 list at No. 8. DOE and NNSA have four supercomputers in the first 10 of the Top500.

The Nevada Field Office (NFO) and its contract partner, the National Security Technologies (NSTec) Remote Sensing Laboratory (RSL) Aviation Department, have received the 2012 U.S. Department of Energy Jeff Snow Aviation Program Memorial Award. This is the fifth time in nine years that the NFO team has been recognized as the most outstanding DOE aviation program. Operating out of Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas and Joint Base Andrews, the NFO team provides aerial support to NNSA's Office of Emergency Response.
Les Winfield, NFO Aviation Manager, received the 2012 DOE Federal Aviation Management Professional Award. He is recognized for providing outstanding management and oversight of the NSTec RSL Aerial Measuring System operations at Nellis and Andrews.
James Williams, Director of Maintenance for WSI-SRS Aviation Operations Department at the Savannah River Site, is the recipient of the 2012 John Cooley Aviation Operations/Support Professional Memorial Award. His outstanding management and leadership skills created a safe and efficient work environment, as well as ensured all maintenance technicians were well trained and knowledgeable in all aspects of the aircraft at Savannah River.
Tim Rourke, NFO Aviation Safety Officer, won the 2012 DOE Aviation Safety Professional Award. Rourke's approach to safety and risk management of both ground and flight safety issues provided an objective assessment of program operational risks to NSTec senior managers. He recommended mitigation controls to reduce risks to the lowest practical level to permit aircrews to perform their critical national security mission.
The awards were announced by the DOE Office of Aviation Management -- each recipient will be honored at a ceremony in Alexandria, Va., on July 18.
Civic organization Los Barrios de Amarillo honored B&W Pantex for its "Outstanding Community Service" this weekend. Los Barrios recognized B&W Pantex for its support of the "Step Up To Success" program, which connects young people with professionals in a variety of career fields that the students may want to pursue. Debra Halliday, community relations coordinator, accepted the award on behalf of the company. Halliday is joined in the photo by Los Barrios officials, from left, Historian Geo Cruz, Vice President Zeke Castro and President Sarena San Miguel.

A Member of Parliament has asked the government to start implementing mini-hydro power projects in the villages instead of depending on big ones to electrify.
Dr Binilith Mahenge (CCM-Makete) made the proposal mid this week when contributing to the parliamentary inauguration speech delivered by President Jakaya Kikwete on November 18 last year.
Dr Mahenge said Tanzania has not fully used rivers in various parts of the country to generate electricity while the rural population goes without power.
According to Dr Mahenge, church institutions have set up mini-hydro power projects to serve them as well as surrounding local communities, saying that such mini-hydro projects should be implemented through the Rural Energy Agency (REA) programme.
The MP's proposal comes at a time when Tanzania is facing acute power shedding. On Friday the Speaker Anne Makinda urged the Minister for Energy and Minerals William Ngeleja to come up with an official statement on the ongoing power rationing.
The speaker's intervention on the matter followed persistent questions from the MPs who wanted to be given an assurance on when power rationing in the country would come to an end. On Friday the MPs blamed Ngeleja of giving unrealistic statements regarding plans to resolve power crisis once and for all.
The leader of the opposition in Parliament, Freeman Mbowe and his deputy Zuberi Kabwe Zitto were among the MPs who kept Ngeleja on his toes when the Speaker intervened by asking the minister to prepare a statement to be presented to the MPs.
Mbowe claimed in the House that Tanzania Electric Supply Company (Tanesco) was losing Sh3billion on daily basis, saying that was crisis that needed special and immediate attention.
According to Ngeleja, Tanesco has a deficit of 230 megawatts. He said heavy funnel oil had already been bought to run Independent Power Tanzania Limited (PTL) plants at Tegeta in Dar es Salaam to reduce power shedding.
He also added that two generators, one to be installed in Dar es Salaam and another in Mwanza have been imported.
January Makamba, the newly elected chairman of the Parliamentary Standing Committee for Energy and Minerals, told reporters on Friday in Dodoma that his committee would today visit Mtera Hydro Dam to assess the situation.
While contributing to the Parliamentary inauguration speech MPs blamed the government for lack of an explicit programme that ensured reliable and sustainable power generation.
Opposition MPs, including Zitto and Kigoma South legislator David Kafulila, said it was a shame for the nation that was about to celebrate 50 years of independence to be facing power deficits and shedding.
Zitto said in 1992 Malaysia was facing power deficits but today the Asian nation generates surplus of about 7,000 megawatts. On his part Kafulila noted that although Zimbabwe today faces political crisis, the power supply is stable and that there is a surplus there. .
Last week the Bank of Tanzania (BoT) issued a report on the state of the economy, stating that power rationing that started late last year and continuing in most parts of Tanzania may adversely affect GDP growth during the first quarter of this year.

Washington, DC (Sports Network) - Bryce Harper hammered a three-run homer in
the first inning to account for all of Washington's offense, and the Nationals
held on for a 3-2 victory over the Miami Marlins on Thursday in the opener of
a four-game set at Nationals Park.
Harper and Ryan Zimmerman each finished with three hits, while Gio Gonzalez
(11-7) gave the Nats six strong innings. He yielded two runs on seven hits and
two walks to pick up the win and help Washington move within five games of the
idle Cincinnati Reds for the final NL wild card spot.
Drew Storen and Tyler Clippard each spun a scoreless inning in relief before
Rafael Soriano worked around a pair of walks in the ninth to secure his 42nd
save of the season.
Washington center fielder Denard Span went 0-for-4 to have his 29-game hit
streak snapped, falling one shy of the Nationals' franchise record set by
Zimmerman from Apr. 8-May 12, 2009.
Ed Lucas collected three hits and an RBI for the Marlins, who have lost five
of their last six games.
Henderson Alvarez (4-5) pitched effectively after Harper's homer, but was
charged with three runs on seven hits over five-plus frames to absorb the

Clean Power Plan May Yield Billions in Economic Benefits and New Jobs
Earlier this month, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released their proposed Clean Power Plan. As readers of this blog are already aware, the Clean Power Plan proposes carbon emission standards for coal-fired power plants, which are the single largest source of carbon pollution in the U.S., generating approximately one-third of all domestic greenhouse gas emissions. Some specifics are that under the Clean Power Plan, states must expand their energy sources and use solar (photovoltaic and solar thermal), wind, geothermal, sustainably sourced biomass, biogas, and low-impact hydrology in order to decrease their carbon emissions.
Did you know that renewable energy technologies are characteristically more labor-intensive than intensely mechanized fossil fuel technologies? This means that the potential economic benefits may be substantial; not to mention the significant benefits for our climate and health.
The solar industry employed over 100,000 workers in jobs ranging from solar manufacturing and sales to installation according to the Solar Foundation in 2011. Solar jobs grew by 20% percent in 2013 and 2014 is expected to create 22,000 jobs. Furthermore, these statistics were reported before the EPA plan was released, which may further boost the renewable job sector.
Let's look at wind energy. The amount of domestically manufactured equipment used in wind turbines doubled from 35% in 2006 to 70% in 2011 with 560 factories directly employing 75,000 full-time employees.
The hydroelectric power industry also plays a role. Statistics show in 2009 it employed 250,000 people. As many as 700,000 jobs could be generated if the hydropower industry installs a new capacity of 23,000 – 60,000 megawatts (MW) by 2025. Rounding out our look at the renewable energy sector, the geothermal industry directly employed 5,200 people in 2010.
The Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) estimated in 2009 that a national, renewable electricity standard attempting to cut 25% of carbon emissions by 2025 would generate 297,000 jobs, $263.4 billion in new capital investment, $13.5 billion in income to farmers, ranchers, and rural landowners, and $11.5 billion in new local tax revenues. Remember, the EPA proposed reducing carbon emissions from existing power plants by 30% below 2005 levels by 2030. So the potential economic benefits may increase over the UCS's estimates.
With these figures, we're not even taking into account a complete picture of the potential economic benefits from expanded renewable energy sources. Think about how direct job creation leads to indirect job creation. For example, when you hire additional employees, you may very well need a larger Human Resources staff.
All of this comes at a time when our country could deeply benefit from economic stimulation. The U.S. economy is still anemic, with unemployment rates remaining high, and a disturbing national debt that's expected to reach $20 trillion by 2020. We must embrace win-win scenarios such as these that combine healing our ailing planet with economic recovery. It's past time to forge the path to a low-carbon future.
Sequestration's Effect on the Environment and Climate Change – The Fight Begins Anew
Even as we hail President Obama's nomination of the very qualified Gina McCarthy to lead the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), we're barraged by news articles filled with warnings about the immediate and highly damaging effects of the budget sequestration on the environment.
Specifically, the budget cuts implemented last Friday will significantly impact the Department of Energy, the EPA, and the National Parks Service, and also will impair disaster relief funding, renewable energy development projects, and scientific research that could benefit environmental protection programs.
In his letter to the Senate Appropriations Committee, outgoing Department of Energy Secretary Steven Chu outlined the severity of the sequestration's impact on the DoE's role in nuclear weaponry monitoring, environmental clean-up efforts, clean energy technology development and on basic scientific research.
Chu's statements regarding the funding cuts to clean energy technology projects were particularly forceful: "Under sequestration, funding reductions would decelerate the Nation's transition into a clean energy economy, and could weaken efforts to become more energy independent and energy secure, while spurring overall economic growth."
This prognosis is counter to the President's messages in his second Inaugural Address, calling for a serious response to the threat of climate change, and in the speech he delivered later on Inauguration night this past January calling for progress in "…freeing ourselves from foreign oil."
The EPA will suffer budget cuts resulting in employee layoffs and furloughs that will delay the finalization of rules governing the greenhouse gas emissions for new power plants, and will reduce the number of environmental inspections and environmental regulatory enforcement efforts. And funding cutbacks to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will result in elimination of a number of firefighter and state and local emergency management positions, hampering disaster relief efforts.
The National Parks Service will lose over $100 million. This will delay park openings, reduce park entry access and visitor services, and according to Mother Jones, will also eliminate millions of dollars in tourism revenue that would otherwise support local economies.
The environmental impacts of the sequestration cuts will affect state-funded initiatives as well. The Washington Post published a chart of the state-by-state budget cuts due to sequestration in various categories, including clean air and water programs. Most states will experience multi-million dollar reductions in funding for environmentally-focused projects and protection measures.
While Obama's second Inaugural Address in January assured that "…we will respond to the threat of climate change," and Vice President Biden urged environmentalists to "Keep the faith" at the Green Ball on the eve of the second Inauguration, the far-reaching and immediately damaging effects of the sequestration cuts do not bode well for the climate activist faithful.
Rhetoric is being trumped by reality at the moment. We environmentalists cannot drop our collective guard or slack off the pressure to ensure that progress to protect our environment and address the damaging effects of Climate Change is made – now and continuing into the future.

As I'm writing this Monday morning, Oprah Winfrey may be giving Lance Armstrong a cheesy reassuring tap on the knee as if to say, it's OK, Lance. I'm still on your side.
I'm not. And neither should you.
He has chosen the soft safety net provided by the Oprah Winfrey Network to give what reports say will be a "limited confession" and "apology" for lying about racing clean on his way to a record seven consecutive Tour de France titles. The 90-minute interview will be taped at Armstrong's home Monday, and will air Thursday at 7 p.m. MST. I'm wondering if Winfrey will ask some key questions.
• If you doped, why did you try to destroy everyone around you who claimed you did?
• How guilty do you feel for taking millions in endorsement money when we really don't know if you'd have won a single Tour without doping?
• And, namely, why should we forgive you?
Forget his work with his Livestrong project. It has legitimately helped millions of cancer patients. However, that's as separate from his doping history as he is from integrity.
What bothers me most about Armstrong is his history of bullying. It's what separates him from other disgraced dopers. I remember one passage in Tyler Hamilton's terrific book, "The Secret Race," where Armstrong is berating him in an Aspen restaurant for ratting him out on "60 Minutes."
While Armstrong yelled, "I'm going to make your life a living (bleep) hell" and "We are going to (bleep) tear you apart," Armstrong never once denied what Hamilton said.
Barry Bonds didn't threaten anyone. He merely stalked through the sea of insurmountable evidence in his trademark silent scowl.
There has been nothing silent about Armstrong. Ever since David Walsh's 2003 book, "L.A. Confidential," which gave minuscule evidence compared to the mountain of testimony USADA has gathered, Armstrong has gone after anyone who raised an inquisitive index finger to him. He attacked every rider or journalist who raised doubts of his legitimacy. His team of lawyers was by his side more than his soigneur. Now he's going to cry on Oprah Winfrey's shoulder and say he's sorry?
May the world answer back in silence.
