Skip to comments.McCain's French kiss
Posted on 05/20/2008 3:23:58 PM PDT by Delacon
The Republican nominee backed nuclear this week, but the U.S. shouldn't try to imitate the French disaster
By Lawrence Solomon
"If France can produce 80% of its electricity with nuclear power, why cant we?, asks U.S. presidential candidate John McCain. Nuclear power is a cornerstone of Senator McCains plan to combat climate change, which he is unveiling this week.
McCain thinks he is asking a simple rhetorical question. As it turns out, he is not. His question is technical, with an answer that will surprise him and most Americans. Nuclear reactors cannot possibly meet 80% of Americas power needs or those of any country whose power market dominates its region because of limitations in nuclear technology. McCain needs to find another miracle energy solution, or abandon his vow to drastically cut back carbon dioxide emissions.
Unlike other forms of power generation, nuclear reactors are designed to run flat-out, 24/7 they cant crank up their output at times of high demand or ease up when demand slows. This limitation generally consigns nuclear power to meeting a power systems minimum power needs the amount of power needed in the dead of night, when most industry and most people are asleep, and the value of power is low. At other times of the day and night, when power demands rise and the price of power is high, society calls on the more flexible forms of generation coal, gas, oil and hydro-electricity among them to meet its additional higher-value needs.
If a country produces more nuclear power than it needs in the dead of night, it must export that low-value, off-peak power. This is what France does. It sells its nuclear surplus to its European Union neighbours, a market of 700 million people. That large market more than 10 times Frances population is able to soak up most of Frances surplus off-peak power.
The U.S. is not surrounded, as is France, by far more populous neighbours. Just the opposite: The U.S. dominates the North American market. If 80% of U.S. needs were met by nuclear reactors, as Senator McCain desires, Americas off-peak surplus would have no market, even if the power were given away. Countries highly reliant on nuclear power, in effect, are in turn reliant on having large non-nuclear-reliant countries as neighbours. If Frances neighbours had power systems dominated by nuclear power, they too would be trying to export off-peak power and France would have no one to whom it could offload its surplus power. In fact, even with the mammoth EU market to tap into, France must shut down some of its reactors some weekends because no one can use its surplus. In effect, France cant even give the stuff away.
Not only does France export vast quantities of its low-value power (it is the EUs biggest exporter by far), France meanwhile must import high-value peak power from its neighbours. This arrangement is so financially ruinous that France in 2006 decided to resurrect its obsolete oil-fired power stations, one of which dates back to 1968.
Frances nuclear program sprung not from business needs but from foreign policy goals. Immediately after the Second World War, Frances President, Charles de Gaulle, decided to develop nuclear weapons, to make France independent of either the U.S. or the USSR. This foreign policy goal spawned a commercial nuclear industry, but a small one Frances nuclear plants could not compete with other forms of generation, and produced but 8% of Frances power until 1973.
Then came the OPEC oil crisis and panic. Sensing that French sovereignty was at stake, the country decided to replace oil with electricity and to generate that electricity with nuclear. By 1974, three mammoth nuclear plants were begun and by 1977, another five. Without regulatory hurdles to clear and with cut-rate financing and a host of other subsidies from Euratom, the EUs nuclear subsidy agency, Frances power system was soon transformed. By 1979, Frances frenzied building program had nuclear power meeting 20% of Frances power generation. By 1983 the figure was about 50% and by 1990 about 75% and growing.
Despite the subsidies, the overbuilding effectively bankrupted Electricite de France (EdF), the French power company. To dispose of its overcapacity and stay afloat, EdF feverishly exported its surplus power to its neighbours, even laying a cable under the English Channel to become a major supplier to the UK. At great expense, French homes were converted to inefficient electric home heating. And EdF offered cut-rate power to keep and attract energy-intensive industries Pechiney, the aluminum supplier, obtained power at half of EdFs cost of production, and soon EdF was providing similar terms to Exxon Chemicals and Allied Signal.
These measures helped but not enough in 1989, EdF ran a loss of four billion French francs, a sum its president termed catastrophic. The company had a 800-billion-franc debt, old reactors that faced expensive decommissioning, and unresolved waste disposal costs. To keep lower-cost competitors out of the country, France also reneged on an EU-wide agreement to open borders up to electricity competition.
Frances nuclear program, in short, is an economic disaster, and a political one too 61% of the French public favours a phase-out of nuclear energy.
Is France a more secure, advanced and innovative country than we are?, McCain also asked. I need no answer to that rhetorical question. I know my country well enough to know otherwise.
But McCain does not know France well enough to know why nuclear powers negative record over there says nothing positive about what it can do for people over here, on this side of the Atlantic.

The US would only need 40% capacity, and would have to use the new 'clean nuke' technology.
This sounds odd to me...i was on nuclear subs...i'm pretty sure you can adjust the output of a reactor by the rods.
His points are actually somewhat dimwitted.
Simply build enough nuclear power plants to meet daytime requirements.
When the nighttime load is less... bleed off the electricity or divert the steam away from the turbines. It's not as efficient as only generating electricity when the electricity is needed, but it's not the impossibility the author claims.
It looks like France just used the wrong mix of nuke power. I think it would be a good idea to use nuclear power if planned correctly. France, like most liberals, made a decision based off passion instead of good logical, sound planning.
On the plus side maybe it's a good argument for electric cars. A few million batteries can soak up a lot of juice while recharging overnight.
My goodness. This article makes us look like a bunch of back woods hacks. Of course we can solve the power demand problem like many communities do now with alternate energy sources and high peak production. We are the Unites States by God, not France!!
The liberals wants clean energy, but then they discredit most kinds of clean energy. The liberals hate nuclear energy and they want to make McCain's plan look bad because they don't want nuclear power, even though it is one of the few viable alternatives to fossil based sources of energy.
I'm not convinced.
First, so what if you have to waste a little bit of power or occassionally shut down a reactor. It's still better than funding Islamic terrorists.
Second, our country is so large, and we could be talking about so many reactors, that occasional shutdowns should be manageable. If you got 4 reactors and you have to shut one down, it's a problem. If you've got 50 and you have to shut one down, not so much.
Third, I'm sure if we put our minds to it, we could find a way to use that excess power productively.
Fourth, I don't buy that France having to import power during peak times is financially ruinous to them. It's not like a free market doesn't exist. Notice that France isn't rushing to reopen old power plants, they are merely considering it.
This article just doesn't pass the smell test.
"This sounds odd to me...i was on nuclear subs...im pretty sure you can adjust the output of a reactor by the rods."
Well you were on ssns but I don't think the rods are used to regulate power output to a sub. Anyone want to chime in?
That is not a negative result. It is a positive one.

The real wet blanket is the reality that hits when people realize that we can't build a single oil refinery let alone hundreds of nuke plants.
So there is no benefit to manufactures getting cut rate electrical power?
I find that hard to believe.
It is interesting though that those who would have us not invest in nuclear power are not using the usual enviromental
canards, perhaps because people don't buy them any more.
The C-Span 2 presentation by
the author of "The Deniers",
Lawrence Solomon, is still
available for viewing on line.
It would probably not be out of line to suggest that nuclear power could play a larger role in the U.S. than it is at present.
IMO, there is an awful lot of misdirection in this article. Number one, we don't have to sell the power to a foreign nation. We could have plenty of nuclear plants inside the U.S. providing primary power needs to immediate vicinities AND secondary power to remote vicinities. It wouldn't have to supply all the power needs either.
I'm thinking you don't care if we replace 100% with nuclear if that isn't workable. I'll bet you'd just like to see as much produced with nuclear that is reasonably possible, so we could cut 25, 45, perhaps even 60% of the energy needs, helping us to end our dependence on foreign oil.
I've noticed something very strange going on. Every single energy proposal that doesn't address oil as the main source, is resoundly trashed here.
I have yet to see one thing that anyone proposed that received any respect. Why is that?
I'm not buying that oil is the only reasonable energy source.
>> Unlike other forms of power generation, nuclear reactors are designed to run flat-out, 24/7 they cant crank up their output at times of high demand or ease up when demand slows.
This is bull.
And we couldn't sell our excess output to the Mexicans and Canadians because....?
Also, as we increase the use of electrical vehicle, hydrogen cell vehicles, etc., those "off peak" hours are going to see more demand, are they not?
Or... maybe... farmers can install giant grow lights in their fields and run them full blast at night to soak up that excess electricity and speed up the production of all the ethanol were going to need for food to fuel program.
You're just not thinking outside the reactor containment vessel. ;-]
Not to mention that even if we had to GIVE AWAY all our off peak power, we would still, STILL be ahead of the game by not being owned by the oil producing states, and those neighbors to whom we gave away our power might just improve
their standards of living in the process.
Yes, it boils down to France is not equal to the US in geography and population, therefore, what works there may or may not work here, and that Juan should take that into consideration.
Some hellish imagery in my mind now from the article's title.
This guy is an idiot. Nuclear power can be accelerated and decelarated it just takes more time. We aren't talking about a Ferarri here we are talking about something that can generate the output of a 1000 Ferarris. You use peaking plants for instantaneous unexpected changes.
Enlighten us, please.
I don't know why that would be the case. Why would we build nuclear plants that produce too much power when we could build the amount that just produces a certain portion of our power and that can run wide open so that no excess need be sold off. France just put too much of its power generation in a non-flexible energy source. If it had only build enough for 50% of its power, it probably would not have a problem.
Okay, I have 25 years in the commercial nuclear industry. I've been out of it for 4 years (long story).
You can vary the output of commercial reactors. It's not that hard. It's just not preferred because of the enormous investment the utilities have in their nuclear plants. General Electric plants are perfect for providing the swing load. They can vary their load by 50% much easier than Westinghouse plants.
Hydroelectric is the best peak time source, but this author, who's work on denegrating
manGore caused Globull Warming is quite good!!!
Youre just not thinking outside the reactor containment vessel. ;-]
That's a really lame argument. If we were willing to go full out nuclear, one could envision pricing power at extreme low rates during the low use hours causing industry to crank up their demand at those times. If there is still excess power then it could be consumed by desalinization plants or some other costly, power hungry process.
The fact that France pursued nuclear power with an overly state-driven and inefficient model does not mean that there are not more efficient and cost-effective ways to utilize nuclear power in meeting the energy needs of the USA.
If 80% nuclear power generation is too much for a country's electricity grid to absorb 24/7 that does not mean that some lesser % such as 30, 40, 50, or 60 might not be very beneficial.
Also, if/when electric cars and hybrids are becoming cost-effective and widely used, there could well be other uses for that nighttime power (charging batteries, making hydrogen, etc.).
This article is interesting but rather one-sided and backward-looking at a flawed example that is 30 years old (admittedly it is the one used by McCain but that does not mean we must slavishly follow the French model on nuclear power).
Awesome video:
The same kind of terrorists who support Obama did this:
Never apologize for them.
Never appease them.
Never forget.
If you adjust the power output by the rods, you get some weird power fluctuations because of the xenon and samarium. The commercial PWRs use boric acid concentration in the reactor coolant to make power changes.
Parts of it are contained in the above messages, so to put the ideas together:
Build nuke plants for the 40% load that exists during night time hours.
Just think of how much power that would amount to!!! Unreal.
Then offer industry cut rates, real low ball cut rates providing they use the power at night.
As more industries come on line, add the required Nuke plants to supply them. That would make available more nuke power for the peak periods.
Then use the coal fired plants to meet peak loads.
I don't know that this will save oil, as I am not sure how much oil is used in the generation of power. It was my impression that most are either coal or gas with gas being used mostly because it is assumed to be cleaner.
We could use all the excess power to charge up batteries of electromagnetic rail guns guarding our borders. We could hit ships hundreds of miles off shore with them.
I agree that conservatives seem to be all pro oil and discount any other kind of power. However, fossil fuels have been the low-cost energy source for years. It was not feasible to have other types of energy, including nuclear energy, because it cost a lot more. Why would someone want to pay more for energy when they could get it for less money? That simple reason is what made fossil fuels king and the only feasible option. However, the rising cost of fossil fuels is changing this fact. Nuclear energy and other sources of energy are now starting to become feasible now that fossil fuels are going up in price.
I have a question. Isn't France and their "neighbors" in 'more or less' the same time zones?
That said, wouldn't most of their 'customers' being 'buying' the abundance of 'surplus power' at off peak hours also?
What the heck would those 'customers' be doing with all that 'off peak surplus' which they wouldn't be needing in the first place?
Just askin'
Bingo! We have a winner here folks. The winning answer. It is actually very obvious from reading the article. If 80% nuclear energy is too much power during portions of the day, don't build 80% nuclear power. If we used the amount just needed for night and ran it 24 hours a day, the rest of the peak time could be filled in with more flexible sources of energy and we still come out a with the right mix and don't need to sell off anything.
I defer to you...i just know that when we were off of shore power....the rx was not running full tilt all the time.
Power consumption is always changing moment by moment. If you ever get the chance, try to get a tour of your local electric utility's control center. For Progress Energy in North Carolina, it's the Skaale Center on Hillsborough St. in Raleigh.
Check out EDF.PA on Yahoo Finance.
If this is a financial disaster, then someone is going to have to explain what success means.
Sure, it was subsidized, but so are many US businesses in some way.
Plus, it would be a huge task just to get to 40% electric/nuke. Still would not have to worry about daily cycle excess.
There are many, many techniques for storing excess energy during non-peak hours. Nuclear may not be the best solution in all cases, but the fact it has to run "full out" doesn't necessarily preclude its greater use. That's why energy decisions should be made by experts in the energy industry as well as the free market and not by political hacks or media pundits.
The delays, unnecessary regulations run amok, no wonder it was more expensive.
There are also costs that transcend monetary, and we're paying those costs today.
"Power consumption is always changing moment by moment."
I know that, but that does not change what I said about having the right mix of nuclear power and more flexible power which will not cause any wasted nuclear power.
I'm going to agree with the others. The writer is talking beyond his competency.
His main point is that, since nuclear plants don't lend themselves to being peakers, that they are not the answer. This is his sleight of hand. We're not looking for "the" answer, we're looking for answers, of which nuclear power can be a key part of the answer.
This is a sleight of hand that is used to undercut any and every action we try to take; since its not "the" ultimate and definitive answer, we ought not do it. Is ANWR going to solve all of our energy needs? No? Then we're kidding ourselves to drill there at all. Is drilling off California going to solve all our needs? No? Then best not drill at all. Is a new wind farm going to solve all our needs? No?
You can see how the game is played. The end result is always paralysis.
If nukes don't make great peakers, that should stop us from building about a hundred of them to take up the base load. That will take a while, and the question of "surplus" nuclear energy isn't going to be an issue for quite a few years.
And when we get to the day that surplus nuclear power is a "problem", isn't that what we want? How else are we supposed to power those electric cars we're supposed to want? And when would they be charging? At night?
At night. Exactly. Build enough nukes to cover daytime requirements, and at night while we all sleep, we'll all charge our cars. Nat gas plants will be our peakers, just as they are now. Its not a problem.
My answer to questions like this, nuke versus wind versus bio versus natgas versus coal is let a thousand blossoms bloom. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. But nuke is another basket we have hardly begun to use.
Excellent post. I agree with all of it. I wish I had wrote it myself.
Meant to say "that shouldn't stop us"
Hell EGD, no problem at all. How about the "costly, power hungry" political hacks in Congress? You know it is simply not possible to produce more power than this pack of hyenas can suck up...

This is my first Les Paul - with hopefully many more to come. I've wanted a Les Paul since I saw a picture of Jimmy Page in Guitar World when I was around 8, at the same time I was a huge Aerosmith nut and saw Joe Perry playing a Paul as well as Slash playing Duane Allman's '59 in the "November Rain" video. I think the fact that these guys can pretty much pick up any custom guitar they want and they choose a fairly stock guitar such as a Standard(with minor tweaks to theirs of course) says something about the quality of these instruments and their legacy as well. Naturally, when I finally was finacially able to buy one, I went for it. I chose a Tobacco-burst with the '50s neck for pretty much two reasons - the only other Gibson that had a nicer flametop was the '59 reissue next to it on the wall. Also, it was fairly heavy, I've weighed it at 11 lbs. 13 oz. Needless to say, between the dense mahogany and the beautiful flametop (although it's not "Pearly Gates" it has a similiar style flame to it, very three dimensional) it rings forever, and what a balanced tone. Also stays in tune no matter what which I need( I use ALOT of vibrato and bending). The neck isnt thin but it's very comfortable and easy to play, nice leverage. What really amuses me is how much depth you get from the tone controls. Also, I play this through a silverface, early 70s Fender Champ at home, and what's the results? Pure "Brown Bomer" tone! I am currently in love with the out-of-phase pickup setting, it nails the tone to "Achiles Last Stand" and MTB's "Can't You See". If you dont buy a Gibson at least play one, every guitar player should at least hear themselves through a Les Paul once and just cut loose!

I bought his guitar a month ago and I am very satisfied. The top is almost like a AAA flame and the finish seems to allow the guitar to resonate more freely. When I take it to a store to play through some amps, everyone wants to buy it.I had to set the action a little lower and get the intonation set up because I changed the strings to 9's and also changed the tuners to Grovers. If you want a great Gibson Les Paul and don't care about the high gloss finish, this guitar will not disappoint you. I tried several and found one with the classic Les Paul sound with sustain for days. I can't put it down!!!
I tried about a dozen Gibson Les Pauls at a music store the other day... customs, standards (50s and 60s neck ones), classics, standard-faded. The range in price was significant. But the higher end ones were truely no better than the Faded ones. Only a different finish (and lighter to boot). There was more variability in the finishing touches with the Faded ones tho. Some had better fret-jobs, some had nicer carved tops. Gibson cranks out TONS of guitars a day, and they cant all be perfect. But you'll find a great one if you are patient. I found a Faded that was as near perfect as I could find and its awesome. Like someone said, it seems more ALIVE than a normal standard finish one. I like the way the pickups kind of break up like an overdriven speaker when you put lots of energy into em. Open and airy with that signature les paul plunky snarl. If you want a Les Paul for less than 2 grand, get this. Personally, I liked it better that the other Les Paul models.
This guitar is a true bargain, the real deal with great tone and feel. To me the burstbucker pro's are the best performance humbuckers around. I've owned probably 25 Les Pauls since my dad bought me a Jr. in 1955. I used a '71 Custom that I bought new as a performance guitar for 25 years. This guitar is the best overall performance Les Paul I have owned. You can dial in every tone from sweet to scorching.
When I say great value that means the guitar does have some flaws but makes up for it w/ better qualities that count. The term "Faded" refers to the lack of a finish, which is the main factor of this model. It is more lighter & well balanced than a Std (about 1/3 lighter...the finish makes a big difference). But a finish is there to protect the wood...from dings, possiable expansion thus causing parts to drift, etc. The guitar does resonate better...raw & chimy. Keep at the house because gigging would be a punishment. The quaulty inconsistant, loose wood in the cavity & sloppy tape on the pups but overall great guitar. The Studio would be a close choice.
I tried this guitar yesterday for some hours, and I have to say that this guitar is a killer. If you have tried the original standard Les Paul, this guitar is the same. The only difference is the satin washed finish and a neck that is in fact better to play at, than the old standard neck. I tried one with the 50s neck. And at last, it`s much cheaper than the original Standard, not bad since it has the same material, pickups, neck, headstock and hardware as the Standard. The ONLY difference is the finish, which I like more than most of the other Les Paul finishes.
I have to say I am totally thrilled with this guitar! When I first got it, it took a few days to get used to the faded satin finish in lieu of the traditional but I am really beginning to like this finish better. I had to do some minor adjustments but now it plays just as well as my solid mohogany custom shop classic. I highly recomend this Les Paul. It is a great value for the price
Bought the tobacco sunburst std. faded and was impressed with how beautiful the guitar is. The satin finish makes the 50's neck confortable and easy to play, action is quick. There is a small issue with quality control: an area near the binding on the neck is unfinished. This guitar produces a wide range of tones and sounds great though my vox amp; sustain is absolutely amazing. This beautiful guitar is a very good deal!
This guitar is by far the greatest les paul i have ever played. i have a tobbacco sunburst and it looks better in person than in the picture. this guitar i straight up rock n roll, i have an assortment of various gibsons and fenders and yet i still use this les paul faded over them all
This guitar looks better in person and sounds great. The tobacco sunburst is drop dead beautiful. The set-up and workmanship is top notch on mine. No mods required on this guitar, it's even light enough to keep the Gibson strap buttons. If you are serious about rock or blues there are 2 guitars you must have - an American strat and a Gibby Les Paul. The faded is cheaper than the regular Standard and I bet you'll love it, give it a shot.
Honestly, what else can you say about a Les Paul with a figured top and a sweet broken in feeling? Not that I want to add too much character to the guitar, but the satin finish lends itself to being a roadworthy exterior that will take a little more abuse than a regular LP Standard with a glossy finish. The pickups have that nice vinatge vibe in looks and tone. I can roll off the volume in all positions and get a nice sweet tone even with my JCM2000 DSL on full blown mode and of course, if you crank it... pure Gibson rock n roll bliss.

FOR MORE THAN 15 years, Jerry Hartley's been driving on Adams Avenue, a street that feeds into Roosevelt Boulevard in the lower Northeast. But for the last few, something's been off about this street he knows so well. Something . . .indecent.
"It's like a naked street," he said.
The busy street has a center line but is missing its individual lane markers, and so on both sides of Adams Avenue, two lanes become one big one. This might not be much of a problem if the lanes weren't designated for certain turns. But when Adams intersects with Castor Avenue, you can go left, right or straight. Back when the street was "decent," there were arrows telling drivers which lane to take - the left lane goes left or straight, the right lane only goes right. Now, the markers have disappeared, and all that's left to notify drivers of the rules is one sign.

Math rock is a very loosely defined genre of music. The term is hard to describe and often misused. However, one good way to describe it is as a style of rock that has almost no trace of folk or blues, which is the traditional definition of rock. Instead, the sound may have a loose, jazzy-like and spontaneous feeling, in contrast to the direct and compelling sound of blues and folk. At the same time however, the music is also calculated, and instrumental riffs are often based on timed formulas. For example, a guitar riff may repeat a sequence of five quarter-notes over 4/4 time signature, thus giving the listener an overall feeling of chaos, in spite of the riffs rigid structure.
The genre is gaining more influence, especially in the Los Angeles area. Bands like The Blood Brothers, Plot to Blow Up the Eiffel Tower, and An Albatross are some of the most famous math rock bands.

Can you define these popular missing words?
A loose grouping of bands into a genre (but not a specific scene) of varying sounds. All share similar, abstract qualities and most find jazz as an influence. The math rock movement mostly occured during the mid to late 1990s. Bands that can be called math rock include June of 44, Rodan, Polvo, and the 1.6 Band.

Intentionally using numbers and formulas to create music. The patterns usually consist of 1's and 2's with accents on the 1's; Using any rhythmic pattern of chug-chugs to create an odd time-signature. Another common practice is to add or subtract a beat from an even time signature.
Don Caballero, Breadwinner, The Oxes, Farauet, and The Kickass are all examples of mathrock bands.

Lubbock first baseman Ray DeLeon tries to put the tag on Dillas' runner Kenny Hook.Annette Drowlette/Globe-NewsDillas finish home schedule with 11-2 win
Amarillo captures 36 of 42 games played at Dilla Villa
By LANCE LAHNERT
Globe-News Sports Writer
One more time for good measure.
It's not like the Amarillo Dillas had anything to prove to the Lubbock Crickets Thursday night in their final regular season home game of the 1998 Texas-Louisiana League season.
Not after the Dillas had made Memorial Stadium the cool place to hang this summer winning 36 of its 42 games in the place affectionately known as The Dilla Villa.
But it was obvious during Amarillo's 11-2 crushing of the Crickets before 5,271 fans Thursday night the home team showed exactly why they will head to the playoffs in a week owning the best winning percentage in T-L League history.
Amarillo fans - who were saluted by the entire Dillas team after the win - watched their team improve to 62-19 overall good for a .765 winning percentage. With the three road games remaining for the Dillas the T-L League record for winning percentage of .684 set by Abilene in 1996 is sure to fall.
Lubbock entered the game 39-42, long out of the playoff picture, and with nothing to lose.
But it was the Dillas who hustled their way to their 10th win over the Crickets in 14 meetings this year.
Sean Collins opened the game with a stand-up triple. Then in the sixth inning, with the Dillas comfortably ahead 7-1, he hit the ball in an outfield gap. Instead of coasting in for a double, Collins beat the throw to third with a head-first slide.
"Those guys can swing the bats," Collins said of Lubbock, a 12-6 winner over the Dillas on Wednesday. "In the sixth inning it's still a ball game. I wanted to go for it to give Cookie and Timmy a shot at the RBI."
Timmy is Tim Howard. Howard continued his record-breaking season going 3-for-3 with a game-high four runs batted in.
Howard's double in the fourth inning was his 141st hit of the season in 79 games and set a league-record for most hits in a year. The old hit mark was 140 set in 1995 by Amarillo's Dennis Hook who played 100 games.
Howard's three hits improved his batting average to an incredible .450 - a good slo-pitch average - in 318 at bats. His four runs batted in gave him a league-best 93, three shy of the league record.
"Coming into the season if anybody hit .380 or .390, they were going to win the batting title," said Dillas player/manager Daren Brown. "Timmy went over that by 60 points. I knew coming in he was a great hitter, but this has been phenomenal."
Amarillo shortstop Kenny Hook dove head-first for a double in the fifth inning and started a terrific double play from his knees. Hook had two hits and scored two runs.
"It's a thing where you can't turn it on and off," said a smiling Hook with a dirt all over his jersey.
Dillas starting pitcher Al Kermode - the silent assassin - once again did his thing. Kermode improved to 12-3 by giving his team eight strong innings. Kermode scattered nine hits, allowed two runs and struck out four. Kermode's 118 strikeouts ties him for the league-lead with Brown.
Kermode was handed a 5-1 lead after three innings when the Dillas struck for four runs off Cricket starter David Baine (4-7). That was the ballgame as Kermode never let the Crickets sniff a chance for the lead.
Brownsaid what he saw from his team Thursday night is why he has enjoyed the entire summer.
"This is the same thing we've been doing all year," said Brown, who played a key role in the Dillas' excellence at home and was named T-L League pitcher and manager of the year earlier in the week. "When the guys cross the chalk-lines they are out their to make all the plays. It doesn't matter the score. We have guys diving for balls. Last night we are down 11-1 and Jack Johnson is sliding into second base trying to break up a double play.
"Regardless of the score our guys have been playing that way all year. We sure didn't want to disappoint the fans on our last regular season home game."
The Dillas sure weren't a disappointment - all home season.

As a redshirt freshman he earned a starting job on the Vandal offensive line...a line that included 4 seniors, including 2 outstanding pro prospects in Rick DeMulling and Patrick Venzke. Statistically, the Idaho offense was impressive that season, averaging 29.2 points per game, and 453 yards per game in a schedule that included games at Washington, Oregon, West Virginia, and Washington State (a thrilling 38-34 UI victory). It was a solid unit for Jake to learn under, and he maximized that experience throughout his career.
|Three year NFL veteran Rick DeMulling joined the NFL in 2001, started 14 games for the Colts in 2002, and all 16 regular season games and 3 playoff games last season.
Not bad for a former walk-on from little ol' Lewiston!
Plus, to top it off, Jake not only joins the Indianopolis Colts as the #141 overall pick (their first pick of the 5th round), but he joins former Vandal teammate Rick DeMulling as well (Rick was a 7th round selection for Indianapolis in 2001, and was the Colts' starting left guard all of last season).
Could you ask for better company?
|Seven year NFL veteran Spencer Folau joined the NFL in 1997.
All of us at VandalVenue.com wish Jake the best in his NFL career, and we look forward to watching him develop at the next level.

I was wondering if anyone could possibly give me any tips on working my abs? Problem I am having is I have a jacked up neck. My C1-3 tend to shift, causing terrible pain. I've really noticed when I attempt crunches or even the ab machine at my gym, it tends put a good bit of strain on my neck. I go to the gym in the morning prior to work, and working with my neck hurting all day does not make for a good day at work. I've managed to lose around 60-70 pounds in the past 1 and a 1/2. My major peeve are my abs, I know a 6-pack is probably not going to ever happen for me, but I would love to be able to get rid of my over hanging gut, without further aggravating my neck. Any help would be **greatly** appreciated. Thank you.

The reason exercises like dynamic planks, chops, and lifts are far superior to planks and sit-ups is because it forces the LPHC to remain rigid while limbs move around it.
As far as the merits to this; you can do a quick Google search and find tons of info on the topic. Gray Cook, Mike Boyle, and Eric Cressey are just a few name you could look up.www.dreesperformance.com
I respect the success of many of those coaches, but I want to know how the decision was originally made. For example, if one of those coaches makes a statement, I would hope that it is backed up by a body of research, or sound biomechanics. Though I don't know any of those coaches personally, I know plenty of other coaches that perpetuate hypotheses and pass them off as facts. They are hypotheses because they are not proven and in most cases are merely theory. The last thing I would say is that most coaches have been wrong at least a few times in their lives. I have been wrong about things and will continue to be. There are few things in this field that you can speak about in absolute terms.
That is why I asked about the planks. I understand the basic reasoning behind the theory, but I was curious if there was really anything to back it up. If so, I would love to hear about it and become a better coach/trainer.

Cook has some really good information on the topic. Again, it's not a matter of which stimulates the muscles greater, it is an issue of what carries over into everyday activities. The static plank became popular when people realized the function of the core wasn't to move the body (sit-ups) it was to stop the body from moving (maintain proper joint position). These days, people are beginning to understand the core doesn't need to be stronger, or have more endurance, it needs to coordinate properly with the rest of the body. I believe Gray Cook is one of the first to realize stability is pattern specific (at least that is what he is popular for). He is a PT, and he had patients that had plenty of ROM in their ankles, knees, and hip, and plenty of strength in their legs and core, yet they couldn't perform a squat. Another example might be a client that can do sit-ups all day but cannot perform a simple sup to pro rolling exerciser without using momentum.
Basically core training should be teaching the body to fire the core first, not harder. Static planks don't do much other than improve your ability hold a static plank position.
A year or two ago I thought planks were one the best exercise; after learning from Cook I don't use them at all.www.dreesperformance.com

Personally, I have found that static planks do have a place in a training program. Even in Yoga you are moving from a static plank into downward facing dog, or back again. I do think it helps to build overall core strength and that will carry over to every day work. Even Gray Cook believes in Core Progression.
In several of his books, he doesnt even talk about planks for core function training, I have a few here that i have read. I like what he has to say, but i dont think dynamic planks are the end all and be all you make it sound like we should think it.www.bikinisandbiceps.com
CPT and Nutrition and Wellness Coach
No one is going to care more about your progress than you. Everyone else is too busy chasing their own. You either do what you need to do to progress, or you remain where you are. The choice is yours.
I think everything is pattern specific. You can be great at squats, but suck at deadlifts. You can have a lot of strength in the core, but not be able to perform many of these dynamic exercises. However, couldn't we likewise say that this supine dynamic exercises only make you better at supine dynamic exercises? Why does a plank only make me better at a plank, but these dynamic supine exercises will carryover perfectly to standing movement?
In any case, maybe I will take a look at some of his information. However, I'm not so quick to change my opinions these days because many "experts" change their opinions conveniently every few years - on schedule with their new books and learning materials.

It would be hard to give any scientific backing to which is better for you, because, like I said, stability isn't the ability to contract the core harder, it is about firing it properly. The only test you could do is a visual test and those are messy and hard to measure.
Dynamic planks are definitely not the one and only exercise for stability. I don't use them unless the client is already fairly strong, but if we're having a dynamic vs. static argument, I would choose dynamic every time.
Here is a couple good videos to watch on the topic.
Cook isn't some functional nut. He works with all kinds of pro athletes.www.dreesperformance.com
Sorry missed this entire discussion as I've been crazy busy.
TBH, I don't have a major issue with people doing static planks IF they know why they are doing them. And most PTs I see, and definitely 99% of all normal people I see, have no idea why they are doing a static plank rather than a dynamic plank.
The main reason for doing planks dynamic only is so that you train all layers of the core muscle groups.
McGill in 2002, Richardson in 1999 both did studies on this.
When doing dynamic planks properly you will hit all the layers of the core and not ignore any of them. This is, essentially, the main point I try to make in my blog. When people only do static plank exercises odds are that they will ignore one of the layers or at least under develop them.
A dynamic plank is, essentially, a compound muscle layer exercise where as a static plank isolates a layer..why should most people train one layer only?
It's about injury prevention with me. Back injuries are very common, slipped disks happen all the time, so you have to work all layers of the core properly. The standard static plank does nothing for this, as all textbooks basically show. So my clients do dynamic planks.High quality Home Personal Training in Edinburgh, UK.

Good post.
Another way to look at things could be high threshold vs low threshold activation. That is why I say the goal isn't necessarily to activate the core, but to control it. People work their high threshold core everyday they come into the gym (squat, deadlift, plank), but they seldom do things for their low threshold core (dynamic plank, quadruped diagonals, chops). Exercises that require mobility while maintaining posture are much more functional because they mimic actual movement (picking up a bag of groceries, walking up stairs, making a cut in football, ect.). Daily movement does not allow us to set our feet shoulder width apart, arc our back, and inhale deeply.www.dreesperformance.com
In any case, I would say that exercises that challenge the abdominal muscles with the limbs (or body as a whole) moving in a dynamic fashion make up a greater portion of the training of my clients than traditional static plank exercises. That being said, I'm trying to grasp how add a small amplitude of movement can result in such a different recruitment of muscles.
In a plank exercise, the abdominal muscles are preventing extension, or essentially opposing an opposite force (gravity). In a dynamic plank exercise, the abdominal muscles are still preventing extension, and subsequently opposing gravity. A difference that I could see is that in the push-up --> plank variation of the dynamic plank, there may be additional forces in different planes that have to be overcome. Is this the reason for differences in muscle recruitment?
Another exercise that I like for beginners are stability ball rollouts. While this might technically be a "dynamic" exercise, it is truly a plank with a pivot at the knees, and motion at the shoulder (flexion). What makes this exercise more difficult is that the abdominal muscles need to overcome not only gravity, but also momentum from the descent. The levers involved likely have an influence as well. For the purposes of this discussion, would a stability ball rollout be classified as a static planking exercise? If not, what creates the recruitment of additional muscles? From my understanding, going from static plank --> stability ball rollouts, we haven't significantly changed forces in other planes. Sure, you could roll off the ball to the side, but I haven't really seen this even with weak people.

There is actually tons of stuff going on as you perform a dynamic plank. As you go from your hands to elbows, you must release the muscles of your upper body. Once you get into a tripod position, your body will want to fall right onto that shoulder. To prevent this, one side of your core is needed to contract as the other side remains long. As you shift to the other side the opposite happens.

Ubuntu 16.10 Final Beta Officially Released with Linux Kernel 4.8, Download Now
Delayed six days, the Final Beta release of the upcoming Ubuntu 16.10 (Yakkety Yak) operating system launched today, September 28, 2016, as the final development snapshot in the series. Today's Final Beta is in fact the first Beta pre-release version of Ubuntu 16.10, and the only development milestone that you'll be able to test if you want to see what's coming to the next major release of Ubuntu Linux. However, we can tell you that it is powered by Linux kernel 4.8, contains up-to-date applications, and still uses the Unity 7 UI. "The Ubuntu team is pleased to announce the final beta release of Ubuntu 16.10 Desktop, Server, and Cloud products. Codenamed "Yakkety Yak", 16.10 continues Ubuntu's proud tradition of integrating the latest and greatest open source technologies into a high-quality, easy-to-use Linux distribution. The team has been hard at work through this cycle, introducing new features and fixing bugs," reads the announcement.
Parsix GNU/Linux 8.5 "Atticus" to Reach End of Life on September 30, 2016
The Parsix GNU/Linux developers announced that the end-of-life status is approaching fast for the Parsix GNU/Linux 8.5 "Atticus" operating system, urging users to upgrade to the latest release immediately. Dubbed Atticus and based on the Debian GNU/Linux 8.5 "Jessie" operating system, Parsix GNU/Linux 8.5 was unveiled seven months ago, on February 14, 2016. Running the long-term supported Linux 4.1.17 kernel injected with TuxOnIce 3.3 and BFS patches, it was built around the GNOME 3.18 desktop environment with the GNOME Shell 3.18.3 user interface. The end of life (EOL) will be officially reached on September 30, 2016, which means that users of the Parsix GNU/Linux 8.5 "Atticus" operating system will no longer receive security and software updates. Therefore, they are urged today to upgrade to the latest, most recent version of the Debian-based distribution, Parsix GNU/Linux 8.10 "Erik."
SteamOS 2.93 Brewmaster Beta Adds New Security Fixes from Debian GNU/Linux 8.6
Valve's SteamOS 2 gaming operating system is still getting goodies, and it looks like a new Beta update has been pushed on September 26, 2016, to the brewmaster_beta channel for public beta testers. That's right, SteamOS 2.93 Brewmaster Beta is here to replace the previous build announced earlier this month, SteamOS 2.91 Brewmaster Beta, and add the latest security fixes and updates from upstream. This means that SteamOS is now officially based on the recently released Debian GNU/Linux 8.6 "Jessie" operating system. "SteamOS brewmaster update 2.93 pushed to brewmaster_beta. Corrects a build issue where the last kernel updates were not actually included. Also updates from the Debian 8.6 release[www.debian.org] and the usual security fixes," says John Vert, Valve engineer, in the release announcement.

The Calphalon Unison nonstick 8 quart stock pot is excellent for cooking stock as well as pot roast and other meals that require both searing and slow cooking. Unlike other nonstick materials, Calphalon's "sear" nonstick surface allows you to brown foods before adding other ingredients to create a great-tasting base for meals. This Unison stock pot from Calphalon heats quickly and without hot spots because of its heavy-gauge aluminum construction. It's also hard-anodized and sealed, so it looks great and it can go in the dishwasher for easy cleaning. Pan made in the USA!

text: I would like to set up a Wiki for the Prius 2010. There is a lot of information here in the forums, but it is spread among hundreds of threads and thousands of posts. I personally find the search function not providing me the right results (I might be not that good in inserting the right search parameters). A Wiki can receive contributions from everybody, I haven't found one yet on the internet, and it is a self-regulating document. It could be used on PC to redirect Newbies in search of answers to FAQ and offer insight and nitty-gritty details to the "pro" users. Does anybody know how to set up a wiki? does anybody have any experience with Wikis? which tool/platform offers the easiest user interface for max cooperation from different Prius owners? What do you think? any suggestions/ideas?

Let's face it.
As popular as the NFL has grown over the years, there have been a few missteps along the way.
Some were taken by the league, teams or individuals, and occurred both on and off the field.
In a time when fans are enduring a lockout, maybe, just maybe it will give some fans a perverse pleasure to look back at some of the most embarrassing moments the NFL has had over the years.
In compiling this list of the top 32 to represent each team in the league, even though some teams won't appear on this list and some might show up over and over again, I tried to cover events that might make a fan chuckle as well as the times that might be more than a little painful to some of us.
Admittedly, there are a couple of incidents that just didn't make the cut but probably should have.
Former Cleveland Browns offensive lineman Orlando Brown suffered a serious eye injury when referee Jeff Triplette accidentally hit him with a penalty flag. Brown was never the same player and eventually settled a lawsuit with the NFL.
Heck, kicker Mike Vanderjagt should have a whole wing in this hall of shame, not for missing several clutch field goals by the size of small countries, but for his constantly open mouth, which once caused the even-keeled Peyton Manning to refer to Vanderjagt as, "our idiot kicker who got liquored up and ran his mouth off."
Manning added, "The sad thing is, he's a good kicker. He's a good kicker, but he's an idiot." (Courtesy of CNNSI.com).
Oh yeah, Manning made this comments at the relaxed atmosphere known as the Pro Bowl.
Regardless of my choices, I want your feedback. Am I forgetting something obvious or more deserving of being on this list?
Do you disagree with some of the choices? If so, why?
Have at it!

Gerry Palano
Renewable Energy/Energy Efficiency Coordinator, Department of Agricultural Resources
If you have been following this blog, you are already aware that the Patrick-Murray Administration has set ambitious renewable energy and efficiency goals for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. If you are a farmer, you may want to know where you can find more information about and assistance for becoming more energy efficient and/or producing renewable energy as part of your farm business.
The Massachusetts Farm Energy Program (MFEP) is the one-stop shop for Massachusetts farmers who are looking to take on their own project. MFEP is a joint project of Berkshire-Pioneer Resource Conservation and Development Area RC&D and the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources (DAR). The project was developed with prior support from the USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service. Recently, the MFEP released a set of five best energy management manuals, one for each of the major farming sectors: dairy, greenhouses, maple, orchards and vegetable farms, and a fifth for renewable energy systems.
MFEP has worked with over 300 farmers since the project was initiated in 2008, and assisted in leveraging $4,200,000 for farm energy projects implementation, resulting in over 110 projects completed on 70 farms. In total, these projects save farmers $740,000 annually – an average of $10,500 per farm – through the reduction of energy use or replacement with renewable energy, and reduced carbon emissions from the Massachusetts agricultural sector by approximately 9,000 tons annually.
These Massachusetts Farm Energy Best Management Practices Guides include equipment specifications, costs and payback periods, and renewable energy technologies. They will help farmers identify opportunities, estimate financial savings, and find technical and funding resources to reduce energy use, minimize carbon emissions, and improve farm viability. As more information becomes available, the hope is to expand the guides for other farming sectors.
To celebrate the release of these guides, a networking event was held last fall at Bramble Hill Farm in Amherst. It linked farmers with energy experts and resources, including state and federal agencies, installers, vendors, and public utilities, to initiate on-farm energy projects. A similar event is being planned for the southeast Massachusetts area this year.
As more farms implement practices such as in those found in the Best Management Guides and utilize some of the energy incentives available for implementation, not only will farmers save considerable amounts of money, they will also reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions throughout the state. This will be a welcome contribution to the Commonwealth's goals and the sustainability of agricultural in Massachusetts.
The Massachusetts Farm Energy Best Management Practices Guides are available here and at the DAR's Energy Program website. For more information on the Massachusetts Farm Energy Program, visit www.berkshirepioneerrcd.org/mfep and for more information on the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources, visit www.mass.gov/agr.

British Scribes Push On as Zab Judah Boycott Continues
By Michael Marley
I'm sure the British Bulldog Winston Churchill would be impressed at how his island nation's boxing press corps has bitten down and continues to cover Saturday night's Zab Judah-Amir Khan world title bout as if nothing is amiss.
They're stalwart warriors and, looking at their gumption in the face of "No Gab" Zab's refusal to answer their fight questions, one can readily understand how Hitler and his murderous goons never captured London the way they did Paris.
In a silly protest about the fact that the Khan camp bullied him into accepting the Las Vegas fight without getting him a single pence of the UK pay-per-view TV earnings, Judah refused to answer questions on a Wednesday media conference call from British voices.
And I thought pompous Lord Cromwell had treated my Irish ancestors badly.
This contretemps hasn't exactly knocked the ongoing Rupert Murdoch phone hacking controversy off the front pages of the British tabloids but I, for one, find the misplaced anger interesting.
If Judah was boycotting Sky TV, you could make some sense of it but this childish tantrum of eschewing the whole UK press corps is absurd.
Does Zab Dabby really believe that Sky TV execs care how much money he makes? Why should they when they made their deal through the Khan camp.
Judah promoter Kathy Judah somewhat sheepishly explained Judah's piqué but no one understands why the Brooklyn fighter isn't just giving the silent treatment to the lads from Sky.
According to our man Lord Jeff Powell, sagacious Daily Mail pundit now ensconced at The Hotel at Mandalay Bay for fight week, Judah's no verbal pearls of wisdom for English swine policy continues even now.
"I suppose Zab will have to answer some of our questions at the final press conference," Powell said. "Maybe we can put on American accents and say, 'Hey, buddy, tell me how you're going slam this guy.'
Powell points out that for the recent David Hayemaker Haye-Wladimir Klitschko bonanza, it was well known that Klitschko demanded and got half of the revenue from Sky TV.
Powell looks at Judah's snit as really no big deal in terms of his reporting.
"We've got, all of us, a frivolous and fortunate job covering games and fights," Powell said. "It's not any big deal."
Powell and the rest of the British fight chroniclers are ramping up for heavy USA bookings this autumn.
"I'll be covering the Floyd Mayweather fight and, of course, Marquez-Pacquiao III. But we've also got Darren Baker's Oct. 2 challenge against middleweight champ Sergio Martinez and the Carl Froch-Andre Ward super middleweight tournament final upcoming."
None of those fighters, as far as is known, plans to slag off the raffish lot that comprises the English boxing media.
Powell's upbeat attitude reminds me of AP wit Fast Eddie Schuyler who used to say, when any other fight writer was bitching and moaning about the rigors of the job, "It beats working in a coal mine."
Coming from Pennsylvania, Schuyler knew a lot about boxing and coal mining.
Perhaps Judah is reminded of the old country western song about a bitter divorce.
Surely you recall, "You Got The Mine (And I Got The Shaft)."

Top 25 changes to the 2011 National Electrical Code (NEC)
17. 406.4(D) Receptacle Replacements
A new requirement addresses the replacement of receptacles in areas requiring AFCI protection, tamper-resistant receptacles, or weather-resistant receptacles.
406.4 General Installation Requirements.
(D) Receptacle Replacement.
(4) Arc-Fault Circuit Interrupters. Effective Jan. 1, 2014, where a receptacle outlet is supplied by a branch circuit that requires arc-fault circuit-interrupter protection [210.12(A)], a replacement receptacle at this outlet must be one of the following.
(1) A listed (receptacle) outlet branch-circuit type arc-fault circuit-interrupter receptacle.
(2) A receptacle protected by a listed (receptacle) outlet branch-circuit type arc-fault circuit-interrupter type receptacle.
(3) A receptacle protected by a listed combination type arc-fault circuit interrupter type circuit breaker.
(5) Tamper-Resistant Receptacles. Listed tamper-resistant receptacles must be provided where replacements are made at receptacle outlets that are required to be tamper-resistant elsewhere in this Code.
(6) Weather-Resistant Receptacles. Weather-resistant receptacles must be provided where replacements are made at receptacle outlets that are required to be so protected elsewhere in the Code.
Analysis: As aging wiring systems become more of a concern in the electrical industry, the Code is taking a proactive approach to providing protection of these systems. Many areas of a dwelling require the use of AFCI protection in an effort to help avoid electrical fires. When AFCIs were first introduced into the NEC, the substantiation for their inclusion was based largely on electrical fires in older homes. With the inception of these devices, the Code began protecting new and future wiring systems but didn't address the older ones that contained many of the fires discussed in the AFCI arguments. This change expands the AFCI requirements to older homes. Because these older homes often don't contain an equipment grounding conductor, installation of an AFCI circuit breaker does very little in the way of protecting the branch circuits. The receptacle-type AFCIs also provide a significantly lower level of protection, but they will be required, nonetheless.
This requirement has an effective date of Jan. 1, 2014.
The 2008 NEC introduced the concept of tamper-resistant receptacles in dwelling units. The requirements of that section (406.11, now 406.12) apply to new installations. It could have been argued that one could install tamper-resistant receptacles in the locations required by 406.11, then remove them and replace them with traditional receptacles. While most people will agree that this argument is a huge stretch of the imagination, this change eliminates the issue before it arises. It also requires that, on existing dwelling units, any receptacles that are replaced will need to be replaced using tamper-resistant receptacles.
A similar change was made for weather-resistant receptacles, using the same logic as tamper-resistant receptacles.

Those opening moments — in which this musical's huge cast of characters make their introductions, and during which we get a rough sketch of the melting-pot story to come — can be turgid, confusing or both. »Read Full Article(4)
