Urban Gardner: Climb Upwards for Success
Saturday, April 26, 2014
Gardeners with unlimited horizons stay close to the ground. Most of us are in more limited circumstances. Do not allow fences or small footprints smother your dreams. They are actually the rungs on Jacob's Ladder. Let's climb these barriers for vertical success. Gardeners have faced this challenge since Adam and Eve cavorted among the apple trees. Let's take a look at techniques available to the smallest budget and the tightest corner.
Look upwards towards the sun. Pause and firmly place your feet in contact with the earth. Imagine energy as a taproot penetrating the ground beneath towards the planet's center. Allow the energy endless depth. Release the energy from below upwards from heal to toe, upward through the calves and hips, pause for a moment just below your deepest breath. Your breath is the glue. Inhale the garden's scent. Exhale the past and envision growth upwards. Energy will spread through the limbs and upward through the crown of the head. It's easy for gardeners to embrace this metaphor and look upwards higher and higher into space. You've found it! Here's a place to grow where none existed before.
Vertical gardening enjoys a renannaisance. Not since the Hanging Gardens of Babylon have vertical spaces become as conceptually available for the gardener. Everyone deserves to enjoy the bounty and joy of growing upwards instead of feeding the ravenous desire to spread outwards. Community garden plots are especially suited for vertical growth. Do not restrict yourself to isolated plots. Walls often offer the best southern exposure and wind protection. Gardeners perceive the advantages of the exposure and site. Let's take a look at techniques ready to help realize dreams.
The trellis has long associations with gardeners. They are any upright support that lifts sprawling plants higher and above. Shape is the whimsy of gardener, materials and site. There are many plants of different purposes that thrive, indeed demand, support. The pole bean, cucumbers, peas, tomatoes, grapes, and many others have evolved to tower, tangle, twist, over those below. Encourage them.
A trellis is an artful creation. They can be simple or complex. Re-cycled materials are your friends for these projects. Whether the upright supports are to last generations or a season, urban gardeners enjoy robust sources of materials on sidewalks, dumpsters and yes, garden centers. Let your imagination dominate.
Orient whenever possible a trellis north-south for the best solar perspective. Compromise when forced, don't settle for less when given the choice. A trellis allows leaves, fruits, and blooms to exist in vacant spaces. A traditional example abounds in our cities. Many driveways paved to the nth degree are surmounted by pipe or lumber arbors. Grape vines appeal to the practical home wine maker. Greenery shades pavements baked in sunshine. Surely the food laden table under an arbor beneath lovely bunches of hanging grapes is a setting familiar from generation to generation. Gardeners grow many things, not least the heart. Let yours swell too.
Welcome shade offers peace and privacy. Green leaves and blooms flaunt their beauty where nothing grew before. North/south orientation gives the best advantages to your garden beauties. Fertilize the plants roots and they will rebound and grow upwards. Taller plantings offer gardener's with painful backs a new chance to nurture the garden. No longer confined to stoop labor frees gardener's from painful choices. There are more advantages.
Fruits and vegetable grown upwards are not in contact with soil borne diseases. They ripen evenly and free from contact with mulch or bare soil are blemish free and easy to clean. Anyone who has grown cucumbers knows trellis grown cukes never have a yellow side where they've rested upon the mulch or soil. This axiom prevails with tomatoes as well. Better looking produce is eaten first and least forgotten.
My favorite trellis is made of re-cycled large heavy duty wire mesh. Available from construction site dumpsters are odd pieces of wire usually employed to strengthen poured concrete. Snip and trim your finds to fit. Nail to repurposed lumber, support much greenery during the growing season, strip in the fall, roll up and store on site or under cover until next year. I have wire trellises that have lasted for years in different locations. The couch is not the only possession to follow urbanites from apartment to apartment.
Newer materials and a careful eye to watering is converting walls into growing spaces. Find a south facing wall for intense vertical gardening. Sacks woven from durable re-cycled fibers will suitably contain root systems and allow foliage to drape outward and vertically. What was once a desert is now a paradise. Pay attention. Faithfully water. Have some fun and mix up plants. Like the American family, vertical gardens explore new relationships.
Some of my favorite trellis plants are well known to you. Roses do well on trellises and please spirit and nose. French horticultural beans sometimes known as Scarlet Runner Beans and other varieties of beans clamber over trellises with true abandon. Cucumbers are no longer humble pedestrians but aviators, zeppelins of the garden. Tomatoes offer larger yields when staked up and indeterminate varieties will grow endlessly with support. Plant peas at the foot of the trellis. When your peas are failing in hot weather plant beans at their feet. The beans will grow up and over the peas to offer two crops from one space.
Privacy is an added bonus to this garden style. Grow morning glories as tall as you can build. They will surmount high supports and drape in dramatic cascades. Honeysuckle will achieve the same results and contribute their inspiring fragrance to the garden patch.
Grow upwards and discover unknown space. Double up on crops, mix flowers and vegetables, create private spaces where none existed. Urban gardeners adapt and repurpose spaces long consigned to vacancy and debris. Rise up dear friends grow.

It is possible that the main title of the report HTLV Type I and Type II is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
HTLV-I was first isolated in 1980 from a patient originally thought to have a cutaneous lymphoma. It became clear that it was a distinct form of lymphoma, which was designated as acute T-cell leukemia/ lymphoma (ATL). Some years later, different groups in Martinique and Japan described an association between a chronic disease of the spinal cord and HTLV-I infection, which was later named HTLV-I associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP). Since then, several other conditions have been linked to HTLV infection.
It is estimated that between 10 and 20 million people are infected by HTLV-I in the world. Only 0.25-2% of the infected individuals will develop a progressive neurologic disease named HTLV-I associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP). Approximately 2-5% of HTLV-I carriers will develop ATL. More rarely, HTLV-I may lead to arthropathy, uveitis (inflammation of the eye), pneumonitis and thyroid problems. Areas of the world that are endemic to the HTLV-1 virus are the Caribbean, southern Japan, equatorial Africa, Middle East, South America, and Melanesia.

MACON, Ga. - Wimp Sanderson is not shy about offering advice to his son Scott about how to coach the Lipscomb Bisons, but he doesn't think anyone is listening.
"I know he listens, but I don't if what I say to him is beneficial to him or not," Wimp Sanderson said. "I don't know if he uses any of it or not."
He would be surprised how much his son listens when it comes to winning conference tournaments.
Wimp Sanderson won five Southeastern Conference tournaments in 11 seasons at the University of Alabama. So when his father offered some tips on how Scott should approach the Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament this week, he listened.
"I've talked with him a lot about it," Scott Sanderson said. "Every game you play is a championship game."
The Bisons open the tournament Wednesday afternoon against No. 8-seed Kennesaw State. The Bisons, who were one of four teams tied for the A-Sun regular season title, won the No. 1 seed due to a tiebreaker.
Game time at the University Center on the Mercer University campus is 1:30 p.m. The game can be seen for free through A-Sun TV, available through the Lipscombsports.com web site.
"You can't worry about Friday if you don't take care of winning Wednesday. We have to have our focus on Kennesaw State. We have to learn and understand what we need to do on both ends of the court to give us the best chance to win.
"Kennesaw State is a very good basketball team. They are very athletic. They are big and strong and can cause a lot of problems for you."
The Bisons lost to Kennesaw State 97-91 on Dec. 5. They beat the Owls at Allen Arena 74-66 last Thursday.
"In tournament basketball you have to be able to beat the teams you are supposed to beat and then some way or another beat the teams that are a toss up for you.
"Lipscomb beat Kennesaw a week ago in a very hard-fought game. That is not a real great draw for Lipscomb. I don't think it is a good draw at all. Of the four teams that finished first, I think that is the worst draw a team could have."
The father often calls his son after games, but if the Bisons lose he usually doesn't call.
"I'm always chiming in with something I think he needs to do, but I don't think he listens much to me," Wimp Sanderson said. "He does it the way he wants to do it.
"After he loses is probably the time when I should call him, but I don't. There is nothing worse than for somebody to call you, especially your Daddy, and ask you what happened and why it happened."
Scott Sanderson admits that he doesn't call his father after every game, especially the losses.
"If we talk it is usually because I call him," Scott said. "It aggravates him that I don't call him. I sometimes wait a day before I call him.
"He wants to know what is going on. He wants to talk about it. He wants us to do well so bad. That is his only purpose for telling me something."
They talk about both personnel and the Xs and Os.
"He is my biggest influence," Scott said. "He had so many great players. One of the best things he did was he coached his best players.
"He held his best players accountable. He got after them. When you do that it holds everybody else in line. That is what I have tried to do here."
Wimp Sanderson knows that one of the main reasons his teams were successful at Alabama was because he had good players. But he also knows that those players believed in what he saying when he stressed the importance of the conference tournament each year.
"We really put a lot of emphasis on the tournament as the one way to get yourself into the NCAA Tournament," Wimp Sanderson said. "And in the particular case at Lipscomb it is the only way.
"You don't want to heap so much pressure on them that they are nervous. But at the same time you don't want them to think they don't have to play to win."

Just as was reported yesterday, Microsoft has begun to push their Surface RT into third party retailers—a move that was not suppose to occur until after the New Year.
Heading to Best Buy's and Staples online stores we can see the Surface RT now available, with the Surface front and center on Best Buy's site. The popular retailers are carrying three version: 32GB with no keyboard, 32GB with black Touch Cover and a 64GB with black Touch Cover. No word on accessories or other colors for the Touch Cover being available, though perhaps they are in store. The prices are the same ranging from $499 up to $699.
The Surface RT on Best Buy's website
We haven't been to our local stores to see if physical stock is in and on display, though we're sure it probably will be soon enough.
Microsoft is reportedly ramping up production of the Surface RT due to high demand and is getting deals with electronic retailers to help distribute the tablet. This is certainly great news as many folks don't live near a Microsoft Store and therefore can never see one in person. With much higher visibility, we should hopefully see the Surface RT sales take off
Of course a cynical interpretation would be that Surface wasn't selling so well, so Microsoft is pushing up their retail strategy to aid the underperforming device. With no solid sale figures to confirm or deny, we'll just have to wait and see. Thanks, David D., for the tip!

text: Developed in the 1830s and 1840s by Samuel Morse (1791-1872) and other inventors, the telegraph revolutionized long-distance communication. It worked by transmitting electrical signals over a wire laid between stations. In addition to helping invent the telegraph, Samuel Morse developed a code (bearing his name) that assigned a set of dots and dashes to each letter of the English alphabet and allowed for the simple transmission of complex messages across telegraph lines. In 1844, Morse sent his first telegraph message, from Washington, D.C., to Baltimore, Maryland; by 1866, a telegraph line had been laid across the Atlantic Ocean from the U.S. to Europe. Although the telegraph had fallen out of widespread use by the start of the 21st century, replaced by the telephone, fax machine and Internet, it laid the groundwork for the communications revolution that led to those later innovations.

For almost a decade, our eurotuner Photochop Challenge contest encouraged visitors to digitally alter stock car photography and submit those creations for various prizes and bragging rights. We confess, one of the best parts about the crowd-sourcing exercise has been witnessing the lengths of peoples' creativity - which can produce some breathtaking examples of imagined modified cars. Given some artists' penchant for the ridiculous, it has also resulted in a lot of goofy pictures of completely butchered rides, robots, dragons and explosions (Doubt us? Go look for yourself).
We'd like to see what the european car following can do with a stock image - winner(s) receiving a prize, of course - but first wanted to recap favorite past submissions from earlier Photochop Challenges. We initially gravitated toward the absurd - the not-necessarily-"artistic" - but then thought better of it and just decided to showcase the more serious attempts herein. Again, if you want to see some of the funnier entries, the ticket is clicking through the links below.
Tell us in the comments section below, what new tuner platform you think should become the next Photochop Challenge platform. 2014 BMW M4 maybe? M235i? You make the call.
Audi R8
We give this one to Anthony Rodriguez's wide-body translation of the mid-engine AWD sports car. Body treatment also includes side skirts, wing, and vented hood, while other mods include LED headlights, multi-piece dished wheels and a big brake kit. Honorable mentions go to Gerardo Garay, Drew Abejon and Elise Olizarraga for their entries.
Click here for full gallery of R8 submissions: Photochop Challenge 8 - Audi R8
BMW 135i
Ryan Giorgio's 1-Series is tops in our book. He created his version with chopped roof and headlights, larger wheels and tires, front lip, reworked front bumper, front-mount intercooler, fog lights, shaved door handles, tinted windows and a candy red finish. Kudos go to Joel Hernandez, Doug Friedman and Anthony Rodriguez for their creations.
Click here for full gallery of 135i submissions: Photochop Challenge 4 - BMW 135i
Mr. Rodriguez nails the E92 challenge, too, in our estimation. His wide-body racer is based on the M3 GTR competition machine and flosses a Vorsteiner hood, M3 GTS rear wing, side-exit exhaust, BBS LMs, racing seats, harnesses and a roll cage. Illustrations from Martin Kaminski, Shannen Jones and Nathan Shrum also impressed us.
Click here for full gallery of M3 submissions: Photochop Challenge 9 - BMW E92 M3
Ford Focus
Todor Kolev from Bulgaria stole our hearts with his interpretation of Ford's third-generation compact hatchback. He created a JDM-style Focus with a Honda S2000 front bumper and side skirts modified to fit the Ford, supplemented by three-piece Work wheels with stepped lips. We were feeling entries from Cameron Scott, Randy Cass and John Sickling, also.
Click here for full gallery of Focus submissions: Photochop Challenge 11 - Ford Focus
Mini Clubman
Drew Abejon's entry was plucked for glory thanks to his immaculate execution of the DTM touring car theme, complete with authentic Red Bull sponsorship and background. We like the way Drew channeled the body and raised the fender to create a convincing touring car profile, yet still retained the recognizable Mini face. Clubmen (? Clubmans?) by Jared Buford, Ryan Giorgio and Mark Fairstein also kicked butt.
Click here for full gallery of Clubman submissions: Photochop Challenge 7 - Mini Clubman
Volkswagen Beetle
We loved Francis Phillips' cool-blue Bug with its R32 swap, BBS LMs and new front bumper. Francis also shaved the hood, bumpers and doors to give it a super-clean finish that begs to be driven. Doctored pics from Cameron Scott, Trevor Daniels and Ford Focus challenge winner Todor Kolev also earned thumbs way up.
Click here for full gallery of Beetle submissions: Photochop Challenge 12 - VW Beetle
Volkswagen CC
Clubman challenge victor Drew Abejon wowed us with his "comfort coupe," too, creating a two-door version with shaved handles, turn indicators and front plate, raised wheel apertures, and enlarged brake ducts in the front bumper. Abejon made extensive use of carbon, and also added a tow hook, side exhaust, single wiper, antenna, ghost graphics and a front-mount intercooler. Props also go out to Matei Radu, Pedro Martins and Adam Wilson for their entries.
Click here for full gallery of CC submissions: Photochop Challenge 6 - VW CC
2006 Volkswagen GTI
We dig that our silly little photo hacking exercise has even attracted noted visionary creatives, like designer and illustrator Jon Sibal. He helped us shape the challenge when we first got it rolling and even submitted an entry, this flashy GTI rocking flared fenders, vented hood, front lip spoiler, and beefier running gear, in addition to host of other mods. Illustrations from Anton Sutovsky, Hunt Dougherty and Jon Glover were also among the hottest fare.
Click here for full gallery of GTI submissions: Photochop Challenge - VW GTI
Volkswagen Jetta
Like Sibal, Josh Cloud also qualifies as a high-profile car artist, as we've seen his Gurnade branded designs for some time now. The photography teacher out of Ohio submitted a Jetta colored a custom Vibrant Copper Metallic and donning a molded, custom lip kit and side skirts, graphics package, Forgestar F14 wheels and Recaro seats. Renderings turned in by Vlad Sokolovsky, Cameron Scott and Chris Joe also deserve honorable mention.
Click here for full gallery of Jetta submissions: Photochop Challenge 10 - VW Jetta
Volkswagen Up!
Todor Kolev, winner of the Focus challenge, also ruled the Up! entries, this time with his time attack-skewing "SupeR Up!" Kolev's city car sports carbon fiber body panels, wide fenders, WRC-style rear wing, side splitters, and a custom front bumper that allows rapid removal for intercooler access. Fitted with lightweight wheels, slick tires and Brembo brakes, there are carbon fiber cooling ducts alongside the new headlight units, while inside Todor added an FIA roll cage and Sparco seat. The Up! challenge just started a few days ago so not many entries have been submitted yet, but Kolev's racer was too good not to highlight here.

FORT BLISS, Texas – A cutting-edge air-defense unit is about to head to the Pacific for what is being described as a historic mission.
About 100 Fort Bliss soldiers will deploy to Guam in the West Pacific in response to continuing threats from North Korea, said officials with the 32nd Army Air and Missile Defense Command at Fort Bliss.
These soldiers will operate and support what is being called the latest in Army missile-defense technology – the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system or THAAD.
The Department of Defense announced last week that a THAAD system would be going to Guam in the next few weeks, but details were not released.
This will also be the first time a fully operational THAAD unit will be deployed in an actual operation, instead of just a test, officials said.
Officials with the 32nd AAMDC, which includes the THAAD, declined to say exactly when members of Alpha Battery, 4th Air Defense Artillery Regiment (THAAD), 11th Air Defense Brigade will be leaving.
But they will stay in Guam as long as Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel wants them there, said Chief Warrant Officer 4 John Fallin, THAAD planner with the 32nd AAMDC.
Guam is a territory of the United States, "so we are defending the homeland,' Fallin added.
Last week, Hagel said the North Koreans have threatened the U.S. military base on Guam, U.S. allies Japan and South Korea, Hawaii and the U.S. West Coast.
"This is the first operational deployment, so they are ready,' said Chief Warrant Officer 3 Jonathan Lee, a THAAD life-cycle manager who serves as a liaison between the Army and the defense industry on the THAAD. "They've been trained, certified and are ready to execute this mission.
"It's 20-plus years of design, testing and development all coming to fruition with this deployment,' Lee added.
This same unit has twice gone to the Pacific before for tests, Fallin said. In October, they successfully shot down a medium-range ballistic missile during an exercise in the Marshall Islands, which are in the northern Pacific Ocean.
This unit's testing record has been perfect, Fallin said.
"They are the best of the best,' he said.
The successful test in October prompted Brig. Gen. James Dickinson, commander of the 32nd Army Air and Missile Defense Command, to hand out 14 medals to soldiers who performed particularly well in the exercise.
Alpha Battery has been training for this mission since the unit was activated in 2007, Fallin said.
The Army has two fully operational THAAD battery units and both are stationed at Fort Bliss. A third unit has been activated here and will begin training later this year.
The THAAD is a land-based missile defense system that includes a truck-mounted launcher, interceptor missiles, tracking radar and an integrated firing control system.
It is designed to eliminate missile threats traveling inside and outside of the atmosphere. It is also designed to be used in a joint environment, meaning with other branches of service.

Ernie Harwell, the Hall of Fame voice of the Detroit Tigers whose decision to leave the Brooklyn Dodgers' radio booth played a role in the hiring of Vin Scully, died Tuesday. He was 92.
Harwell died at his home in Novi, Mich., the Tigers said. He had been diagnosed with cancer of the bile duct last year.
"All of Major League Baseball is in mourning tonight upon learning of the loss of a giant of our game, Ernie Harwell," Commissioner Bud Selig said in a statement. "This son of Georgia was the voice of the Detroit Tigers and one of the game's iconic announcers to fans across America, always representing the best of our national pastime to his generations of listeners."
Harwell spent 42 seasons in Detroit, describing the play of such Tigers stars as Al Kaline, Denny McLain, Jack Morris, Alan Trammell, Lou Whitaker and Kirk Gibson, and calling the action during the Tigers' 1968 and 1984 appearances in the World Series.
That long-running major league career started with a broadcast rarity: He was traded to the Dodgers from his job as a minor league announcer for a player. With the Tigers, he proved so popular the team had to rehire him in 1993 after trying to force his retirement in 1991.
"You know, nobody likes to be told he couldn't do the job," he recalled in 2002. "I don't think I got as excited as other people did.... A guy hires you, he's got a right to fire you."
But his stature with the city and the fans won out and he returned,
after the 2002 season.
"I grew up listening to Ernie on warm summer nights with the radio under my pillow," Tigers television broadcaster Mario Impemba, who grew up in Detroit, told the Detroit Free Press in January. "Regardless of whoever sits in that chair from here on out, Ernie Harwell is the voice of the Detroit Tigers."
William Earnest Harwell was born Jan. 25, 1918, in Washington, Ga., and graduated from Emory University in 1940. He started writing for the Sporting News when he was only 16 and was sports director of Atlanta radio station WSB from 1940 to '42. Harwell served in the Marine Corps during World War II, including as a writer for Leatherneck magazine, and was on Wake Island in 1945 as a war correspondent.
He started broadcasting for the Atlanta Crackers of the Southern Assn. in 1943, returning to the job in 1946 after the war.
He came to the attention of Brooklyn Dodgers executive Branch Rickey, who sought Harwell's services in 1948 to fill in for an ailing Red Barber, who had to miss several weeks because of a bleeding ulcer.
There was only one problem: The Crackers' owner would let Harwell go only in exchange for a minor league catcher. So Harwell was traded to the big leagues.
In 1950, he moved to the New York Giants' booth, creating a vacancy with the Dodgers that was filled by Scully.
"Vinny took my place, which I consider my greatest contribution to baseball," Harwell told author Curt Smith in 2007.
At Dodger Stadium on Tuesday evening, Scully said, "All I did was sit in his chair, I'll put it that way."
"He was so gracious and kind," Scully said. "Probably the best word — he was gentle. He just cared for people and he loved baseball; I mean he loved it beyond just doing games. You can understand how the people in Detroit just loved him."
Harwell was broadcasting on television in 1951 when Bobby Thomson hit one of the most dramatic home runs in baseball history, rallying the Giants past the Dodgers in the final game of a three-game playoff for the National League pennant.
But few remember Harwell's call. Russ Hodges was on radio, and his description — "The Giants win the pennant! The Giants win the pennant!" — was taped and later released on an album, becoming part of baseball history. There's no record of the telecast.
"What did I get? Anonymity. What did Russ get? Immortality," Harwell jokingly told Smith for "The Vin Scully Story," published in 2009. "To this day only Mrs. Harwell and I know that I did maybe the most famous call of all time."
Harwell moved on to Baltimore to broadcast the Orioles' games in 1954 and started in Detroit in 1960.
Harwell said
"was like Ebbets [Field in Brooklyn] only bigger, but fans were like the Giants' — a history missing in Brooklyn. This was really the best park of all."
In 1981 he won the Ford Frick Award, given annually to a broadcaster by the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y.
But in 1991, the Detroit institution was forced out. Former Michigan football coach Bo Schembechler, who had been hired as the Tigers' president, was seen by some as the villain in the saga and blamed for trying to end Harwell's Detroit career.
Instead of saying he would retire at the end of the season as Schembechler reportedly wanted, Harwell held a news conference in December 1990 to announce that he had been fired. He finished the 1991 season with Detroit, then broadcast for CBS and the Angels in 1992.
By 1993, the Tigers had a new owner and a familiar voice back in the broadcast booth.
"I was flabbergasted by the reaction," Harwell recalled in a 2002 salon.com story. "I thought there'd be a little ripple; maybe somebody'd call the ballpark, say, 'Who was that guy who used to do the game?' and stuff like that. Well, maybe a little more than that."
Harwell was not only a broadcaster but also an author and songwriter.
When the Tigers reached the World Series in 1968, management asked him to recommend artists to sing the national anthem. Harwell suggested Marvin Gaye, Margaret Whiting and Jose Feliciano. Feliciano's unconventional, stylized rendition created a storm of controversy.
Harwell is survived by his wife of 68 years, Lulu; sons Bill and Gray; daughters Julie and Carolyn; and grandchildren.
Times staff writers Kevin Baxter and James Peltz contributed to this report.

Rays Bounce to Win over the Cubbies
Most people who go to Rays game would be upset with the chant, "Let's Go Cubbies!", in the top of the 9th inning last night. To me, it was a sweet melody to savor and enjoy. For the world's loveable losers were in town for three games, and brought a few thousand of her friends.
I saw people who are normally Rays supporters in Cubbie colors, I saw thousands stand and cheer with Chicago wear on for the Rays after the game. Why don't Boston and New York fans act like Cubbies? Because Cub fans relish winning just like we do.
They do not throw World Series B S in our faces with every at-bat. They know that a simple play or a hot batter can ruin even a Red Sox's wet dream.
Come again Cubbies, it was fun to chat and bark back and forth with you. You actually have an intelligent way to argue. You spoke facts and truths, not notions and myths. Come Back Cubbies, we enjoy a large town fan who can also respect their opponent, plus give credit where credit is due………..And you also got Lou.
Trivia Fact of the Night:
Greg Maddux and Randy Johnson are the only 2 pitchers to ever win the 4 consecutive Cy Young awards.
Evan Longoria must be blessed by the baseball Gods. This rookie has handled more pressure than a tea kettle this season, and responded like an old pro. In the bottom of the 9th inning last night, with the tying run on third, the young Brooks Robinson clone threw a 1-hop throw to first that will live in my mind as a "play to remember" in Rays lore.
Cubbie Reed Johnson, always a true thron in the Rays side, took it upon himself to try and put down a suicide squeeze bunt down the 3rd base side. Longoria was playing a bit deep and had to hustle and bare-hand the ball. He threw a wobbly one-bounce throw to Willy Aybar at first that just got Johnson by a 1/4 of a step to secure the Rays win over the Cubs.
Drama, Drama, Drama. This team is beginning to believe it can win every night it steps on the turf. Plays like this one can motivate and perculate a team to explode into contenders. Every year, a team can point to a handful of plays that turned their seasons upward. I think Longoria, a rookie, even showed a few veterans what it takes last night.
"We were trying to get Longoria to move in, but we're having this new problem: We can't hear," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "Our players aren't used to not being able to hear from the dugout, so we have to do some things signal-wise. He was playing too deep."
Cliff Floyd quickly ruined our pitcher's duel by slamming a ball into the rightfield stands in the 2nd inning. It was Floyd's 6th homer of the season and came against his former team, the Cubs. Floyd also has a 3-game hitting streak going for the Rays.
Scott Kazmir did not start out like our ace tonight. His fastball command and placement was off a bit and he was not getting the plate calls he usually gets from the umpires.
Could some of that be backlash for comments made in LA about the umpiring there? I am not sure that an umpire would purposely blow calls against another pitchers, but some of the calls did smell a little fishy at times. If the ball hits the black it should be called, not rejected by a player's opinions.
Kazmir did have great movement and placement on his slider and curve and he used those pitches well to set up his fastball. Coming into the game Kazmir was the third most dificult MLB pitcher to hit off of in the majors. His .187 opposition batting average was only .002 points off the average of Chicago starter Ryan Dempster.
Scott pitched 4.2 innings tonight and was lifted after making 110 pitches. Kazmir gave up 3-hits and 1-run in that time and got 7 strikeouts before leaving for the night.
Evan Longoria seemed to be in all the right places last night. Be it at the plate or in the field. In the 6th inning, Longoria hit a ball to rightcenter that went off the Rays Tank facing. ( No Rays were hurt in the play. )
It was Evan's 11th homer of the season, tying him with Carlos Pena for second on the team. Longoria also currently is 4th in the majors and second in the AL in RBI's with 33. Longoria has not hit safely in 38 of his 59 games with the Rays this season. The homer also tied him with Cincy's Joey Votto and Cubbie Genvany Soto for the lead in the Rookie's standings.
Rich Herrera, who does the Rays' post and pre-game shows for the Rays Radio Network walked by me last night and said that, "Troy Percival has really big ones."
Troy had not one, but two Wild Pitches to the backstop that could have tied up this game last night. Big shiny Balls of steel that clang like a cowbells when he walks from the Bullpen.
In the past, if a team had started to unravel our game like the Cubs did in the 9th inning, Esteban Yan would be sweating up a thunderstorm on the mound. Roberto Henandez would be looking for someone to hit with the ball, and Seth McClung would be talking to himself a mile a minute on the mound.
But then again, these guys are not first ballot Hall-of -Famers either.
Troy reached back last night and had a consistant low 90's pumping to the plate. I do not see alot of 94's and above from him this season, but last night he was pumped up and knew the game was an important one for this young squad.
Percival threw 23 pitches last night, 15 for strikes and really earned his 16th save of the year. The save also puts him within 1 save of tying Rollie Fingers for 9th All-Time.
Troy is the perfect veteran to have on this squad. He is all business on the field, and is a great example of iced confidience and cold stares in a sea of boiling water.
This is a huge piece of our puzzle this season. To have Troy and the Bullpen pull up the bootstrings and keep the Rays in the game every night. But Troy, can we make it alittle less Dramatic..my young heart will implode with much more of this every night.
Okay, we had 31,607 fans in the seats last night, that puts the Trop at 76.5 percent full. Tonight's game is a another great pitching matchup with Carlos Zambrano going against Andy Sonnanstine. It should be another great barnburner tonight with both teams smelling a win. A Rays win would give them their 9th straight series win at home this season.
Also of importance, is that this contest will be the featured game on ESPN tonight. For that reason, it is important that as many Rays fans as possible get to the game and show these talking heads in Bristol, Conn., that the Rays do have fans, and that they are for real this season.
Hopefully we can get John Kruk to stumble and stammer on his words after another Rays win………………See you at the Trop!!!!!

- Commentary
By Cody Willard
Election, election, election. Every headline, every markets analysis, every supposed economic analysis, every segment on CNBC are all about the election and how it might or might not affect all of the above.
Will the election be a tie? Hanging chads! Electronic voting fraud. Voter harassment. This is actually the one quite clearly bearish outcome to Tuesday's election. The markets hate uncertainty and that's what any long contested vote will result in — uncertainty. We should probably buy puts Wednesday if there's any serious doubt that morning about who won the election.
Otherwise, as I've said before, there's is absolutely zero difference between the economic and foreign policies of either Obama or Romney and either one will get the "fiscal cliff" resolved sometime in early 2013 if not before. The markets and the economy will do what they will do regardless of the election's outcome.
There's a lot of tension out there from both the bulls and the bears right now. In last week's poll, we had 74 bulls and 18 bears, meaning that we're still at about a 75% reading on that sentiment contrarian indicator. And until that reading gets to 90% one way or the other, it's just not that useful frankly.
Andy Beyer's books about horse racing are actually very instructive for traders when it comes to managing your cash and determining bet (trade/investment) size. He'd tell you that "When the odds are in your favor, you bet big. When they aren't, you bet small. That way, you can beat the long term odds and turn a profit."
I just don't like the odds of being either big long or big short right now. I'm still heavier in cash than I was three months ago after having trimmed and hedged when stocks were higher and I don't want to jeopardize our hard-fought gains by blindly scaling back in to more long exposure just yet. The banks like Goldman GS and JP Morgan JPM are acting sick again, and Lender Processing Services /quotes/zigman/516176 /quotes/nls/lps LPS has been trashed since its report and those puts are kicking in as the stocks fall to help us become more hedged. I'm betting smaller for now. The Apple suppliers can't catch a bid to save their stocks, as Cirrus CRUS and Skyworks SWKS continue to act punk post their earnings reports too.
Apple's /quotes/zigman/68270 /quotes/nls/aapl AAPL up $7 after its $20 crash on Friday. Three million iPads in the first three days of the new iPad mini is very strong. The bulls will need this thing to sell like hot cakes in the Christmas season forcing the sellside analysts to raise their estimates before the year's over or Apple's likely to just be a highly volatile reflection of the broader markets into yearend. I'm going to buy a small tranche of April 2013 Apple calls with $660-$700 strike prices.
Small though. Easy does it as we wait for better looking odds.

As the tail stepped out in a lazy drift on a damp German road at close to 100mph, we found ourselves wondering why BMW had chosen to equip its most powerful 3 Series with the same all-season 17" tires as found on the new 328i Sport Wagon. Admittedly, this was a European model and US customers can expect 18" wheels, but the extra power and weight seemed to demand more rubber.
"Its OK, you can specify the Hybrid with any of our four trim levels, including the M Sport line that would get you a staggered tire set up," a BMW representative reassured us.
This isn't like the hybrid your mother would drive. With 335hp, 0-60 in 5.2sec and the ability to hit 155mph (possibly 130mph in the US), you'll piss off Prius owners on a daily basis – especially because you'll be wearing the perma-grin of a driver with more power and torque than a 335i but the green credentials of a five-star tree-hugger.
With BMW's ActiveHybrid range (3, 5, 7, X6) now sharing the same powertrain, the price is sufficiently close to 3 Series territory for it to be considered for the company's mass market offering. And that's a bonus in the US, where hybrid and diesel sales comprise 5% of the market (10% in CA and OR), and where 10% of new car buyers research alternative fuels when car shopping.
Despite its enormously entertaining performance envelope from what amounts to an F1-style KERS system, the electric motor is more than a power booster. Integrated into the torque converter of the standard eight-speed auto, it's fed by a 96-cell lithium-ion battery pack mounted low and safely between the rear wheels. In fact, weight distribution is a commendable 49.7/50.3, which helps to explain the sporty handling despite gaining 270 lb of extra equipment. You don't even sacrifice much trunk space, since the packaging only required the floor to be raised a nominal 2". Perhaps the only concern might be stock 335i brakes, although they seemed to cope well.
Fully electric driving is available for 2.5 miles and up to speeds of 37mph, or 46mph if you use the Eco Pro mode on the Driving Dynamics selector. This is intended to get you the last few miles home or to work.
The AH3 has other tricks up its sleeve like any new F30 3 Series, including brake energy recuperation, auto stop/start, climate control optimization and electro-mechanical steering. Uniquely, it can coast at speeds up to 100mph in Eco Pro mode, whereby the gasoline engine is cut and the electric motor maintains the speed.
What's more, the power management shifts from electric to gasoline drive seamlessly. You have to watch the display to even know what's happening underneath you.
One of the more interesting readouts gives you a plot of your consumption history, allowing you to compare journeys and possibly find the most economical way home. However, it pales in comparison to the optional navigation integration that communicates with the power management to allow the car to find the most efficient way to your destination. This could include re-routing you over hills, for example, to allow battery charging on the descent, conserving enough power to allow electric drive as you approach your Home Zone.
The result of all this incredible technology is said to be a 25% fuel reduction compared to a 335i. Obviously you're paying almost $6500 more for the base AH3, so savings would be long term, unless you can't continue to exist without the option of zero emissions.
When driven sensibly and away from the rev limiter, it translates to an estimated 25mpg city and 33 highway, which is certainly respectable for a hyper-drive spaceship. Did we mention this thing is rocket-fast?
With its 300hp 3.0L turbo engine and 55hp electric motor, you might expect the ActiveHybrid 3 to deliver even more power than quoted. However, BMW explained that each motor peaks at a different stage to prolong the life of the powertrain, spreading the delivery across a wider range to enhance drivability.
The ActiveHybrid 3 represents a leap forward in technology application and gives an insight to the sort of integration we can expect from the BMW i models when they finally arrive. And the fact it's a blast to drive confirms we might be able to have our cake and eat it after all.
It's the best of both worlds, offering a remarkably fast and agile sports sedan with the ability to return hatchback levels of fuel economy, all while enjoying executive comfort and accessories. If this is the future, bring it on!
