Padres always happy to play in PNC Park
By George Von Benko / Special to MLB.com
The Padres are 26-9 all-time at PNC Park and have never lost consecutive games there.
Last year the Padres came to Pittsburgh and scored 35 runs over a three-game series.
"I'm not sure why," manager Bud Black said. "[Is it] whether we just happened to be playing well when we came here? I just know the last couple of years, we've had some success in this park. It just might have been coincidental [that] the guys were swinging the bats well. I wish I had the answer. I do know in talking to our players, it's a good hitting background, guys see the ball here, they like this park and they feel good about it."
Hundley excited to be back with Padres
PITTSBURGH -- The Padres have recalled catcher Nick Hundley from Triple-A Tucson and optioned catcher Eddy Rodriguez to the same club.
"I feel great," Hundley said. "I feel good in the batter's box again, and I'm just excited to be back here and compete."
Hundley, hitting .166 with three homers and 22 RBIs in 55 games for the Padres this season, is back to the big leagues after being optioned to Tucson on June 30. He played in 13 games for Tucson, missing time due to a stint on the seven-day disabled list with a strained right hamstring, and batted .190. He struck out in three at-bats in his final game in Tucson, on Wednesday. He went 3-for-31 over his last 10 games there.
"Obviously, it wasn't the ideal situation to get a little hamstring injury, but that's the way it goes," he said. "I'm ready to play. If I wasn't I wouldn't be here."
"He was working on some things in Triple-A with his hitting mechanics, and hopefully we'll see some dividends," manager Bud Black said. "Statistically, it didn't show. You pull up his numbers, and they weren't great. But again, when you're working on things and trying to incorporate what you are doing in the cage and the work you are doing out on the field, a lot of times it takes time for that to become comfortable."
Grandal making strides in recovery from injury
PITTSBURGH -- Rookie catcher Yasmani Grandal, who had a great first month in the big leagues before landing on the disabled list with a strained right oblique, is progressing with his rehab.
Grandal was hitting .312 with five homers and 14 RBIs when he was injured.
"Grandal hit [earlier in the week] in the batting cage and off the tee and soft toss," manager Bud Black said. "He did fine, so he hit Tuesday in San Diego and took two days off. Hit again today, we suspect he will hit again tomorrow, possibly on the field, and then we'll just keep moving forward, but he's doing well."
Grandal will likely go on a rehab assignment before being activated.

This is far more believable and realistic than Adam and Eve, or Noah's Arc. Plus there is evidence. Where you have none to support your impossible fairy tales.
This is far more believable and realistic than Adam and Eve, or Noah's Arc. Plus there is evidence. Where you have none to support your impossible fairy tales.
With sin, selfish inclination comes naturally. But being inclined to do something, even naturally does not mean you must oblige that nature.
For instance, I could be selfish and bang everything moving. That may be cool for me, but if I did that I would be disappointing Jehovah who did not make us for that lifestyle, and hurt my wife, and my kids. Potentially ruin my family. So out of love for them, to make them happy, and have a happy home, I refrain from such selfish activity. Even though my selfish inclination says go for it.
Instead of maybe playing madden, or working out, or basketball with my spare time, I sometimes use that to go knocking door to door trying to tell people about God's heavenly Government that has real answers and solutions for mankind. This information could very well save their life. Most of the time they decline. Should I say "self, you could have been playing Madden or something instead"?
Would you consider yourself selfish if you saw me about to walk into harms way and all it took was for you to briefly stop what you were doing to inform me of such? Well this is what Jehovah's witnesses worldwide are tryin g to unselfishly do. It is up to all hearing to heed the warning. Many don't.
And like the bible says...
6 "If your brother, your mother's son, or your son or daughter, or the wife you cherish, or your friend who is as your own soul, entice you secretly, saying, `Let us go and serve other gods' (whom neither you nor your fathers have known, 7 of the gods of the peoples who are around you, near you or far from you, from one end of the earth to the other end), 8 you shall not yield to him or listen to him; and your eye shall not pity him, nor shall you spare or conceal him. 9 "But you shall surely kill him; your hand shall be first against him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people. 10 "So you shall stone him to death because he has sought to seduce you from the LORD your God who brought you out from the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. 11 "Then all Israel will hear and be afraid, and will never again do such a wicked thing among you.
If it talks like a man, walks like a man, it's a man. What form, what kind, can differ. We have different shapes of man now. Not any less men. That does not mean they have evolved. Evolution is plain and simply an belief system. Not factual. To consider something, and something to be a fact is different.
Fact, Babylon was defeated without a fight by Cyrus and his army by diverting the river Euprates, and the ****y Babylonians leaving their gates open during a festival. Fact Cyrus and his army restored the Jews to to their homeland so they can restore true worship. Fact Babylon is a place of desolate ruins as we speak.
FACT Alexander the great defeated the persian army, died abruptly, and his power was split amongst his four generals.
FACT Tyre was Pummeled by many nations at the hieght of it's power. FACT Nebuchadnezzar destroyed the Tyranian mainland. FACT Alexander the great used the ruins of the mainland to make a causeway to the Island city the Tyranians fled too upon the destruction of the mainland. FACT Alexander's army defeated the Tyranian army out at sea. FACT Alexanders army set the Island city on fire upon resistance from the Islands remaining inhabitants. FACT Tyre is now a place called sur, and is a drying yard for dragnets, or a sea port.
FACT Roman armies under General Cestius Gallus surrounded Jerusalem and even attacked the temple wall, undermining it in 66 ce. FACT
A few years later, in 70 CE, Roman armies under General Titus came back into Judea and encircled Jerusalem with pointed stakes and no one was able to escape. The city was massacred, utterly destroyed.
When science can do something this incredible, I'll take a more serious look into it replacing my beliefs. But since I know it won't happen
But a biblical pessimists may say, things have always been this sorta way throughout history. What makes today any different? Countries have always gone to war. Things seem to work out somehow though!
But here is a tidbit of information. The Worldwatch institute reports that 3 times as man y people have died due to war since 1914 than all of the wars from the first century AD to 1899 AD. And even with all the advancements in science and medicine, every year hunger claims the lives of 5 million children. FIVE MILLION CHILDREN!!!!!!!! THAT IS NOT FACTORING TEENS AND ADULTS WHO SUFFER THAT FATE.
I want a government, science, or somebody that says I should relinquish my love for my invisible sky daddy to give me the answers to the questions that my invisible sky daddy has provided. I want a goverment that is honest with it's people. That provides fairly for all of it's people. A government that won't send it's troops off to war for selfish endeavors.
I want science to stop making nuclear warheads. I wants science to actually start curing people of major pestilences, instead of helping them live with it better. I want science to find a way to help us to live longer than 70 years on avg. I want science to prevent people from just getting old for no apparent reason. I want science to stop chasing dead monkey carcasses and truly start benefiting mankind. And that means all of mankind, not just those who can afford it.
Why do I want this? Because the God of the bible promises to do all of these things, and his prophetic word has proven he can do what he says he will.
If you Love Jehovah, you would not bow down to false Gods. Jehovah does not except false worship. If you do such, you are constituting yourself an enemy of his. If you love your wife, you would not cheat. If you love your neighbor you will not steal. If you love your children, you raise them to love the God that shows love and you help them to know and respect his laws. So those at that time that broke these laws needed to be disciplined according to the Law.
Jesus death finished off the Mosaic law. We don't stone, or Kill because the law died with jesus. But one must abide in Jesus love by obeying him accordingly, as he obeys Jehovah. And Jehovah says Love him above all other things, and Love your neighbor as you love yourself. This is what a true Christian lives his life by. If everyone did this, there would be no lying, stealing, murder, fornication and greed of any kind. For all of those things the wrath of God is coming.
Jehovah preserves those that live righteously, and destroys those who oppose his righteous ways. That is why there was punishment in the mosaic law, and why he plans to destroy the wicked people of earth soon.
Rebuild does not have a strict sense as you are trying to apply. The Tyrian society has not been rebuilt. Those People on that Seaport don't even call themselves Tyrians. Their status, their power on the world scene is pretty much non existent. They have not been rebuilt to the society it once was. There is no need for me to twist what rebuilt means, because it applies to how the bible uses it. It just takes
- To build again.
- To make extensive structural repairs on.
- To remodel or make extensive changes in: tried to rebuild society.
- The act or process of exhibiting keen insight and good judgment.
- Keenness of insight and judgment.
You would maybe have read upon a bit more. Nebuchadnezzar attacked Tyre shortly after that Prophecy was relayed to the Tyrians. So he began the attacks on Tyre by the Nations. So how you assumed other Nations would attack but he destroy it is likely due to lack of research. The Babylonian seige was the first after the prophecy was recorded.
- The act or process of exhibiting keen insight and good judgment.
- Keenness of insight and judgment.
And either way, you are still ignoring the intracasies of the prophetic word come true when the Greeks destroyed the island city. Alexander literally suing the ruins of the mainland to make a causeway to the Island, him defeating the army of Tyre at sea, and setting the city on fire.
All of this was prophesied about. Why no reference to this?
Come on, man. There isn't a huge conspiracy to disprove your religion. The facts just do. It's the religious that don't want this evidence to be known because it disproves their beliefs in an invisible, loving, but hateful and vengeful, being that created everything in 6 days. And disproves the already impossible story of two people spawning over 6 billion people.
Which species may be our true ancestor is debated amongst evolutionists, but every evolutionist knows we came from an Austrolapithicus-like species. And for your information Austrolapithicus doesn't walk like a monkey. It's skull (brain size) shape and structure are similar to a monkey but it's spinal and skeletal structure show it to have walked upright, like humans. It walks like a man and talks like a monkey. What do you call that then?
I'll stick with the facts and evidence. You can stick with the spooky invisible being and impossible fairy tales.

He loves you but will destroy you if you do not worship him (sounds like a psychopath).
He plans to destroy the wicked people and the only people that are not wicked are your kind = arrogance.
Quite frankly, your God is an a**hole, and you are an arrogant pr*ck. I don't want to have any part of your religion. It's disgusting and hateful.

"What the ****...I never authorized this ****...I was not there for the floods I was busy creating Andromeda...damn killing people for not believing in me...considering I made them that way...no sex before marriage..I made vagina's and penises shaped like that for a reason...dude this the last time before I do bong hits before science class"
And I'M THE ARROGANT PR* CK?
Bottom line is, you have zero facts to support your evolution argument, you only have belief in the theory, and when compared to the ACTUAL FACTS OF THE BIBLE, that theory falls way, way flat. Sorry, comparing monkey bones , mankind bones and saying if this was this way and not that way, they would be identical so they must have a common ancestor, is not enough for me to believe I have a monkey pops. IF!
If I played and hit powerball I could probably move to Shaq's block in south florida. IF!
Had Ewing not been hurt in 99, the Knicks probably would have beaten the Spurs in the finals that year. IF!
There are no ifs concerning bible prophecy. This is the difference between evolution and the bible. Once source is proven, the other is theory.
But I'm done in this thread. Everyone has exausted their opinion to the full. No sense in running in circles.
Enjoy the day!
32 If any australopithecines were found alive today, they would be put in zoos with other apes. No one would call them "ape-men." The same is true of other fossil "cousins" that resemble it, such as a smaller type of australopithecine called "Lucy." Of it Robert Jastrow says: "This brain was not large in absolute size; it was a third the size of a human brain."48 Obviously, it too was simply an "ape." In fact, New Scientist said that "Lucy" had a skull "very like a chimpanzee's."49
33 Another fossil type is called Homo erectus—upright man. Its brain size and shape do fall into the lower range of modern man's. Also, the Encyclopædia Britannica observed that "the limb bones thus far discovered have been indistinguishable from those of H[omo] sapiens."50 However, it is unclear whether it was human or not. If so, then it was merely a branch of the human family and died off.
The Human Family
34 Neanderthal man (named after the Neander district in Germany where the first fossil was found) was undoubtedly human. At first he was pictured as bent over, stupid looking, hairy and apelike. Now it is known that this mistaken reconstruction was based on a fossil skeleton badly deformed by disease. Since then, many Neanderthal fossils have been found, confirming that he was not much different from modern humans. In his book Ice, Fred Hoyle stated: "There is no evidence that Neanderthal man was in any way inferior to ourselves."51 As a result, recent drawings of Neanderthals have taken on a more modern look.
35 Another fossil type frequently encountered in scientific literature is Cro-Magnon man. It was named for the locality in southern France where his bones were first unearthed. These specimens "were so virtually indistinguishable from those of today that even the most skeptical had to concede that they were humans," said the book Lucy.52
36 Thus, the evidence is clear that belief in "ape-men" is unfounded. Instead, humans have all the earmarks of being created—separate and distinct from any animal. Humans reproduce only after their own kind. They do so today and have always done so in the past. Any apelike creatures that lived in the past were just that—apes, or monkeys—not humans. And fossils of ancient humans that differ slightly from humans of today simply demonstrate variety within the human family, just as today we have many varieties living side by side. There are seven-foot humans and there are pygmies, with varying sizes and shapes of skeletons. But all belong to the same human "kind," not animal "kind."
So not everyone studying in the feild of evolution believes what you do. Are they wrong?
And either way, you are still ignoring the intracasies of the prophetic word come true when the Greeks destroyed the island city. Alexander literally using the ruins of the mainland to make a causeway to the Island, him defeating the army of Tyre at sea, and setting the city on fire.
All of this was prophesied about. Why no reference to this?
And it's impossible for anyone to sway my belief in the bible. WHY? BECAUSE I HAVE LIVED TO BE PART OF BIBLE PROPHECY. I HELP DECLARE THE GOOD NEWS OF THE KINGDOM. JUST LIKE JESUS SAID WOULD HAPPEN BEFORE THE END CAME!
That is something you, nor anyone else can put a blind eye too. Jehovah's work on earth is being accomplished whether you choose to believe in it or not. Bible prophecy in your time, in your very face. And there is nothing anyone can do or say that will make it go away. Because it is God's will that it be done. That is why bigger men than you and I have not been able to stop it from happening, though they have tried!
So like I said before, You have exausted your opinion, as have I. But at least you get responded too. I'm still waiting for a response to a few things. But the no comment has given me my answer. You don't have one.
Honestly, Christianity has ruined more lives than sex. The worst times in human history (not the last 90 years) were during the dark ages, or when Christianity ruled. And it's crap like what I just quoted that shows how awful your religion is. It's a shame you don't have sex. You're missing out bro. What a waste.
Sorry, impossible stories, invisible beings that love you but will destroy you if you don't worship him, and false prophecies based on personal interpretation and redefining of words is not enough for me to believe in your god.

Knicks4lyfe, were you home-schooled? Did you home-school your children?
Covenant. The Law covenant between Jehovah and the nation of natural Israel was made in the third month after their leaving Egypt, in 1513 B.C.E. (Ex 19:1) It was a national covenant. One born a natural Israelite was, by birth, in the Law covenant and was thus in this special relationship with Jehovah. The Law was in the form of a code, arranged in an orderly way, its statutes grouped together. The Law, transmitted through angels by the hand of a mediator, Moses, was made operative by a sacrifice of animals (in the place of Moses, the mediator, or "covenanter") at Mount Sinai. (Ga 3:19; Heb 2:2; 9:16-20) At that time Moses sprinkled half the blood of the sacrificed animals on the altar, then he read the book of the covenant to the people, who agreed to be obedient. Afterward he sprinkled the blood upon the book and upon the people. (Ex 24:3-8) Under the Law, a priesthood was established in the house of Aaron, of the family of Kohath of the tribe of Levi. (Nu 3:1-3, 10) The high priesthood passed by descent from Aaron to his sons, Eleazar succeeding Aaron, Phinehas succeeding Eleazar, and so forth.—Nu 20:25-28; Jos 24:33; Jg 20:27, 28.
The terms of the Law covenant were that if the Israelites kept the covenant they would be a people for the name of Jehovah, a kingdom of priests and a holy nation, with His blessing (Ex 19:5, 6; De 28:1-14); if they violated the covenant, they would be cursed. (De 28:15-68) Its purposes were: to make transgressions manifest (Ga 3:19); to lead the Jews to Christ (Ga 3:24); to serve for a shadow of the good things to come (Heb 10:1; Col 2:17); to protect the Jews from false, pagan religion and preserve the true worship of Jehovah; to protect the line of the seed of promise. Added to the covenant with Abraham (Ga 3:17-19), it organized the natural seed-nation of Abraham through Isaac and Jacob.
The Law covenant extended benefits to others not of natural Israel, for they could become proselytes, getting circumcised, and could receive many of the Law's benefits.—Ex 12:48, 49.
get that so far???
did the Law covenant become "obsolete"?
However, the Law covenant became in a sense "obsolete" when God announced by means of the prophet Jeremiah that there would be a new covenant. (Jer 31:31-34; Heb 8:13) In 33 C.E. the Law covenant was canceled on the basis of Christ's death on the torture stake (Col 2:14), the new covenant replacing it.—Heb 7:12; 9:15; Ac 2:1-4.
So basically, we're under the new covenant, not the mosaic law. Which means we don't have to kill anyone for not believing. As I ha ve said already. And the terms of the mosaic law were disclosed. Hope it helps.
I have kids. So I'm sure I have had sex. But I am married, so It is morally clean for me to have sex.
But lets look at what fornication does. Teen and unwanted pregnancy, which a lot of times leads to broken homes, children growing up in single parent homes, abortion and vd. Adultery which ruins families, breaks up the family structure, sometimes disease and abortion, stress and resentment towards former spouse and even children!
If more people take marriage and premarital sex(fornication) more seriously, these sort of issues within the world would be way less common.
Fornication has largely been responsible for the "Baby momma, Baby daddy" epidemic that is plaguing the country and even the world. But hey, maybe God does not know what he is talking about when he says don't do it. Maybe it's cool to fornicate. The world loves it! That is why the world is sooooooooooooo wonderful!
But we all agree the earth is round!
Also, why do you keep ignoring the full detail of the Tyre prophecy? Are you that arrogant to feel the need to ignore truth when it smacks you in your thick forehead?
I find it hilarious actually that you have not once addressed it. I wanna see how you can say I twisted words for that lol.

I just have to ask...
Why does it matter if sex is morally clean? I can understand physically clean in regard to disease. But morally clean...what functional purpose does that serve for humans...NOT GOD?

Praise 102.7 is proud to assist in getting guns off the street to make local neighborhoods safer. "Groceries for Guns" takes place on Saturday, May 18, 2013 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The weapons surrender program, at the New St. Paul Tabernacle Church of God in Christ in Detroit, will allow those interested in surrendering any type of unloaded gun to do so with no questions asked. In exchange, individuals will receive a $50 gift card to Meijer for each gun turned in.
"Groceries for Guns" is sponsored by Southfield-based personal injury law firm, Goodman Acker, P.C., and made possible through a public-private partnership with Wayne County Executive Robert A. Ficano,Wayne County Sheriff Benny N. Napoleon and Bishop P.A. Brooks.
"Like so many others, my partner Barry Goodman and I, just have had enough of the gun violence that is claiming lives and destroying families and communities," said Gerald Acker, founder and senior partner of Goodman Acker, P.C. "Fortunately the leadership of Wayne County shares our frustrations, and is helping to make our vision of fewer guns on the street a reality. We can't save the world, but if this program can help save just one life, it's certainly worth it."
Minute Meditation: Prayer To Be Better Person
"Gun turn-in programs have proven to be successful across the country, and we are pleased to be part of this unique public-private partnership in Detroit," said Wayne County Executive Robert A. Ficano. "Our goal is to encourage people to bring in unwanted guns, which will be a positive contribution to making our homes and neighborhoods safer," Ficano continued. "I appreciate the commitment of the Goodman Acker firm, Sheriff Napoleon and Bishop Brooks for joining me in this important initiative."
"Gun violence is taking a tragic toll on our communities. Reducing the number of guns that wind up in the hands of those who use them illegally is an important step toward decreasing the crime that has us all fearful," said Wayne County Sheriff Benny N. Napoleon. "If you know of or have a weapon lying around, turn it in. That one small move will make a world of difference in our neighborhoods."
"Groceries for Guns" will operate on a first-come, first-served basis until all of the available gift cards have been distributed. New St. Paul Tabernacle Church of God in Christ is located at 15340 Southfield Service Drive (just north of Fenkell) in Detroit. The event will take place in the church gymnasium, and will be staffed by a strong contingent of Sheriff Deputies and volunteers from the Offices of the County Executive, Sheriff's Department and Goodman Acker, along with members of New St. Paul Tabernacle.

NY cops credited for saving one of their own in police station
Officer Kevin Zuchlewski suffered a "sudden cardiac arrest" while at the police station last month
By Jay Rey
The Buffalo News
TONAWANDA, N.Y. — A Town of Tonawanda police officer will have the chance on Thursday to publicly thank three colleagues for saving his life.
Capt. Frank McNamara, Det. Thomas Oswald and Officer Ryan Taber are being credited for saving the life of Officer Kevin Zuchlewski, who suffered a "sudden cardiac arrest" while at the police station last month.
Zuchlewski, 44, a 14-year veteran of the police force, lost consciousness in the police department locker room at about 2:45 p.m. on June 16, after finishing his workout, said Capt. Joseph F. Carosi.
Taber discovered Zuchlewski when he heard what he believed to be labored breathing toward the back of the locker room. Taber called for assistance, causing McNamara and Oswald to come running, Carosi said.
They couldn't find a pulse for Zuchlewski. McNamara and Taber began chest compressions, while Oswald sought out an automated external defibrillator. Zuchlewski was given a shock and oxygen by the time paramedics arrived on the scene.
Zuchlewski underwent quintuple bypass surgery and is recovering, Carosi said.
Zuchlewski, a father of two, will have the chance to publicly thank Taber, Oswald and McNamara at 2 p.m. Thursday during an event at the Town of Tonawanda Police Headquarters, 1835 Sheridan Drive, where Chief Anthony Palumbo will also say a few words.

"My state of being has been elevated, because I've been exercising, writing songs. I'm in a better frame of mind these days. It feels great -- it's like I see some light. Things make sense to me again."

"There's no insecurity about my song writing. I start a lot more songs than I finish, because I realize when I get into them, they're no good. I don't throw them away, I just put them away, store them, get them out of sight."
"Song writing is about getting the demon out of me. It's like being possessed. You try to go to sleep, but the song won't let you. So you have to get up and make it into something, and then you're allowed to sleep."
"I know that song writing is probably the most mystical of the things that I do, in a sense that I'm not sure where it came from or how it started. It's something that I just knew how to do. It's something that just happens."
"The band as an entity has evolved and matured with their stage performance and song writing. I couldn't be more proud of the individual members and the band. Each has accomplished so much with their instruments. I love what they are doing right now and I think they are great at it. I catch myself being a fan sometimes."
"Say you write a song about a chandelier, and the chandelier gives off light. And the light is the color red and red reminds you of the color your not supposed to wear around a bull. So you name the song Cow.""

I'm sorry to hear WOSO closed. When I was on vacation there maybe about 7-8 years ago, I thought they did a good job as an English-language Talk station. They had a local morning show from 6am - 9am with two hosts, sort of what one would hear on the mainland. At 9am, a woman hosted a swap shop type show, where local people could call in to sell items such as washers or used cars. Then from 10am - noon I believe they ran Clark Howard. At noon was another hour of local news-talk. I remember there was a governor's election and one of the candidates spent the hour taking phone calls. (I suppose anyone who wants to be governor of Puerto Rico has to be bilingual.)
Dr. Joy Browne ran from 1pm to 4pm. I'm not sure what aired 4pm to 6pm. At 6 was an hour of network features. It was whatever news, business and commentary the two networks, CBS and ABC, had fed during the day, including Charles Osgood. I believe at 7pm was Dave Ramsey and Jim Bohannan at 10pm. Obviously, the station was trying to only run non-political syndicated talk shows. It didn't make any sense to run Rush Limbaugh, or Stephanie Miller for that matter, since Puerto Ricans can't vote for the President or the Senate. And their one House member also can't vote. He can only speak. Overnight the station did run Lars Larson, who is a conservative Talk host from Portland OR. I always wondered why they didn't just run Coast to Coast, since that show is also heard on Canadian Talk stations.
When I wanted music, there were several FM stations playing mostly English-language music, even though the DJs only spoke Spanish. 105.7 WCAD played Classic Rock, 97.3 WOYE played AC. And 91.3 WIPA-FM was a very good non-commercial Classical station, with some features in English from NPR, although again, the announcers only spoke Spanish. WIPA-FM has the best signal on the island. We were never too far from San Juan to lose it, even if the other FM stations faded. And in San Juan and to the east, you could also pick up English-language Virgin Islands FM stations, although not perfectly in the capital.
You could tell from the commercials on WOSO that they had a large audience of bilingual business people. There were ads for office space and office supplies, shipping companies, real estate companies and new office and condo developments. A few of the ads were in Spanish, I suppose produced by an ad agency to run on numerous Puerto Rican stations. I suppose that's only fair since mainland Spanish language stations run some ads in English, if they're produced by an agency that doesn't want to record spots in both languages. I never got the hint that WOSO had trouble selling spots or had to run a lot of PSAs to make up for poor ad sales.
Let's hope someone buys 1030 WOSO's 10 kw signal and considers restoring its English language news-talk programming.

Texas Congressman Ron Paul's bill to audit the Federal Reserve Bank easily passed the House of Representatives July 25 by a vote of 327-98. Every House Republican voted for the "Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2011" (H.R. 459) except freshman Rep. Bob Turner of New York, while Democrats were about evenly split.
Rep. Paul noted that a full audit of the Federal Reserve by the General Accountability Office (GAO) was particularly necessary after the GAO revealed in 2011, after a partial audit, that the Fed had secretly lent out some $16 trillion in loans to establishment banks at the height of the housing and financial crisis, potentially putting taxpayers at risk for more loans than the nation's gross domestic product. The partial audit had been commissioned in part by legislation on the Fed that Paul had sponsored in 2009-10.
Paul told his fellow representatives that an audit was needed now more than ever with the emerging international Libor banking scandal. "We should know about the deals that they made when they were fixing the price of LIBOR. These are the kinds of things that have gone on for years that we have no access to."
Prior to the partial audit in 2011, Federal Reserve officials had refused to give congressional investigators information on its secret loan program, with Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke refusing to tell then-Representative Alan Grayson in 2009 to which foreign banks the Fed had loaned an astonishing $500 billion.
Rep. Paul has been a dogged critic of the Federal Reserve Bank for decades, and the vote prompted Chris Moody of ABC News to quip, "At long last, Ron Paul has his day." Paul complained the Fed was creating a housing bubble as early as 2001 and reiterated his very specific and accurate charges over the years. The housing bubble crashed in 2007-08, and the nation is still suffering high unemployment as an after-effect of the crash.
Critics of Paul's bill suggest that the bill is unwise because it would lead to Congress politicizing decisions of the Federal Reserve, though the U.S. Constitution clearly states that "Congress shall have power to ... coin Money, regulate the Value thereof" and to make "uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States." Paul countered charges that a congressional audit would politicize the actions of the Fed by noting that the central bank is already political without any accountability to the voters. "It's very political when you have a Federal Reserve that can bail out one company and not another company," Paul said. "That's pretty political."
The future of Paul's bill in the U.S. Senate is unclear, though it has ideologically varied supporters in that body, from Paul's son, libertarian-leaning Rand Paul of Kentucky, to independent Vermont socialist Bernie Sanders.

In a way, the debate over same-sex marriage might never have happened without John Travolta.
It was 1977 when Joseph Melillo, a New Jersey native transplanted to Hawaii, offered to help a friend with a dance class on Saturday mornings. Since the film Saturday Night Fever was sweeping the country, the students, most of them senior citizens, wanted to learn to disco. Unbeknownst to Melillo, the teacher had also recruited Patrick Lagon to help with the class after seeing him do the freak, a disco dance, one night at a local club.
"I was busy with the students," Melillo recalls. "Then I turned and looked at him, and he looked at me. We instantly fell in love. We've been together ever since."
Their commitment led Melillo and Lagon to seek a marriage license in 1990—along with two lesbian couples, Tammy Rodrigues and Antoinette Pregil, and Ninia Baehr and Genora Dancel—and, when they were denied the license, to sue the state of Hawaii. The upshot: a ruling by circuit court judge Kevin Chang on December 3 declaring the state's ban on same-sex marriages
to be unconstitutional under state law.
Now the question is whether that legal victory will ultimately prevail or whether same-sex marriage will be a passing fad, the disco of the 1990s. The next several months will see a bruising battle to determine the outcome. While mainland gays and lesbians are awaiting the outcome—too passively in the eyes of many Hawaii activists—opponents of same-sex marriage are preparing a series of measures to prevent the ruling from ever taking effect.
Yet in the meantime, what was once unthinkable looks increasingly inevitable. If Chang's ruling is upheld by the state supreme court, as most predict it will be, the only thing that could stop same-sex marriage in Hawaii is an amendment to the state constitution. And while a movement to amend the constitution is under way, such an action could not be effected before the end of 1998. Thus, Hawaii will probably start issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples by the end of this year.
"I didn't plan this, and I didn't predict it," says Dan Foley, the attorney who filed the lawsuit for the three couples in 1991. "But right now it looks like we're on the road to civil rights."
With last year's passage of the Defense of Marriage Act, which bans federal recognition of same-sex marriages, along with similar legislation in 16 states, the road looks to be largely confined to the islands, at least for the time being. The December ruling prompted a year-end flurry of anti–gay-marriage rhetoric in various statehouses, with Colorado, Indiana, and Nebraska as likely locations for the introduction of antimarriage bills in upcoming legislative sessions. Only Massachusetts governor William Weld has indicated that he would be willing to recognize gay marriages performed in Hawaii.
Right now the laws banning gay marriage are largely theoretical. But if, as Foley predicts, Hawaii starts issuing licenses to same-sex couples, legal activists say these laws, including DOMA, will inevitably be challenged by mainland couples who marry in Hawaii and then return home. The result would be a morass of lawsuits wending their way through the courts into the next century.
In Hawaii, meanwhile, activists are still giddy from their recent victory. "It was wonderful to be in Hawaii that day," says Ku'umeaaloha Gomes, a member of Na Mamo O Hawai'i, a group of native Hawaiians who identify as gay, lesbian, and bisexual and who advocate Hawaiian sovereignty. "We were part of history in the making, and we felt so proud."
"There is just no question that this decision was enormous, immense, and wonderful," says Evan Wolfson, senior staff attorney at the gay group Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund, which is cocounsel in the case. "It's a powerful statement about the truth of our lives."
For the couples involved, the ruling was especially sweet, since the suit seemed quixotic at best when it was filed six years ago. "When the decision came from the judge, it was our ninth anniversary," says Pregil. "We were really happy. We didn't think it would be this long and this big."
Indeed, the success of the same-sex marriage cause over the past three years stands in sharp contrast to its origins. If ever a gay rights case seemed likely to fail, it was marriage. Even Foley admits that he hoped at best "to get some good language" in a ruling against him that he could put to use in other gay rights cases.
The Hawaii marriage case dates back to 1990, when Bill Woods, a local activist, tried to organize a mass commitment ceremony for Hawaii's first gay pride parade. "He was supposed to get twenty couples together," says Melillo. "But nobody wanted to do it publicly. So then Bill asked whether Pat and I wanted to get married legally, and I said, 'Sure, why not?'"
"He called and said, 'Two other couples are ready to apply for the marriage license tomorrow,' " Baehr recalls. " 'If you want to, you have to let me know in half an hour because I'm going to put out a press release.' Genora was not out yet and had a lot to lose, but she decided she wanted to do this, so we called Bill back and said, 'We'll be there.' " The next morning, December 17, 1990, was the first time the three couples met.
The event itself had all the trappings of a media stunt. The couples showed up to apply with press in tow. The officials at the license bureau sought an opinion from the state attorney general, who denied the application. It was an effective action that briefly drew public attention to the inequity of the law.
Unlike other actions, however, this one refused to fade, even though it had all the earmarks of a momentary diversion from other gay rights issues. Woods and the couples sought legal help to challenge the law. For months the state chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union held the case under consideration before finally turning it down.
It was April 1991 when Foley accepted the case. Since then, he has, in the words of Vanessa Chong, an attorney for the ACLU and a coordinator of coalitions of pro-marriage groups, "pretty much donated his practice to the case." A straight man and a former legal director of the ACLU, Foley had taken on gay cases in the past. In 1985, for example, he successfully sued the island of Maui when the mayor revoked a park permit for the Miss Gay Molokai Pageant, a drag festival. Foley's commitment to fighting antigay discrimination stemmed from personal feeling: His uncle had suffered greatly at the hands of his own family because of his sexual orientation.
While Foley gave the case his all, the lawsuit took a toll on the plaintiffs as well. "I lost my family doing this," says Pregil. "When it went public, they said, 'Let someone else fight for it.' Well, hello, who is going to? It's really sad, but it's their loss, not mine."
"Our private life has been this public issue since basically the beginning of our relationship," says Baehr. "We wanted to have some private life." The couple have since moved to Baltimore, where Dancel attends medical school.
The earliest ruling in the lawsuit dismissed the challenge to state marriage law out of hand on the grounds that the existing law was "obviously designed to promote the general welfare interests of the community by sanctioning traditional man-woman family units and procreation." It wasn't until May 1993 that the case finally took off when the state supreme court returned it to a lower court for trial, with the strong suggestion that the ban on same-sex marriage was unconstitutional.
In the meantime, the couples found little sympathy from national gay groups or indeed from many gays and lesbians. "They had valid concerns that we were never going to win, so why waste resources?" says Baehr. "Then there was the whole debate that maybe we shouldn't ape heterosexuals. Then there was another argument that maybe we shouldn't win because it would make the right wing angry and there would be a terrible backlash."
For the couples, who endured more than two years tilting at the marriage windmill with little support, attitudes toward them changed overnight with the state supreme court ruling. "The day after the decision, we agreed to have a strategy meeting in my office," Baehr says. "When I walked in, there were 40 people, most of whom I didn't know. It was a quick transition from feeling very alone on this issue to having people say, 'We're going to tell you what to do.' "
That first victory in the state supreme court could have been undone by the state legislature, but so far supporters of gay marriage have succeeded in staving off any legislative moves. In its last session of 1996, the Hawaii house of representatives voted in favor of a constitutional amendment limiting marriage to couples of the opposite sex, but the state senate rejected such a measure.
The new session, which convenes in January, says Foley, promises "the toughest fight we have faced in the legislature." While pressure is on lawmakers to do something in light of the ruling, the current political climate is so complicated, it's difficult to know exactly what that something might be.
"We have a choice of scenarios here, none of which are going to be easy, all of which require significant resources," says Chong. Supporters of Chang's ruling are laboring under an initial burden as a result of last November's election. While the outcome was, in Foley's words, "a wash," with equal numbers of incumbent opponents and supporters of same-sex marriage losing their elections, many legislators are nonetheless feeling the political heat. "There's a perception that same-gender marriage is an important issue for a large part of the electorate," says Chong. "The net result is a lot more legislators are shaking in their shoes."
Some supporters of same-sex marriage say they aren't willing to accept such a compromise. "I don't want to settle for domestic partnership," says Rodrigues. "As far as giving us some benefits, I say forget it. We're halfway there—let's go for it."
Strategically, however, the move makes sense. Gay-marriage advocates are betting that such an amendment would create so much turmoil that it would never pass. "If we have a constitutional amendment where you have to vote up or down on both marriage and domestic-partner benefits, people will go all sorts of ways," says Foley. A similar strategy effectively killed a measure to outlaw same-sex marriage in the California legislature last year. And even if the amendment passed in Hawaii, it would have to be approved by voters in November 1998.
Another option for legislators opposed to same-sex marriage would be to clear the way for a constitutional convention, known in local shorthand as a "concon," where the issue could be considered by specially elected delegates. Voters approved such a convention last November, but the results are being challenged in court.
"If the legislature passes enabling legislation," says Chong, "the 1998 general election would be when concon delegates are elected and 1999 would be the convention. The propositions would be on the ballot in 2000." By that time, however, voters will find themselves in the unusual position of deciding whether to annul hundreds, perhaps thousands, of legal unions that have already taken place.
"If we can show the public real, existing families and ask them not to dissolve those marriages, it will be different," says Foley. For the opposition, he adds, "it will be a real hard fight."
Foley is also betting that the reality of gay marriage will seem less threatening than the picture painted by its opponents. "Once we have [legalized gay marriage], those arguments can be seen for their speciousness," he says. "Desegregation met with resistance because it forced a group of people to be with people they didn't want to be with. It changed white people's lives. Gay marriage doesn't do anything like that. The composition of the workplace will not change; your neighbors will not change. Nothing else happens." Or, as Melillo puts it, "The sky doesn't fall; the world doesn't end."
That's something opponents of same-sex marriage are not eager to find out. "The religious right is very aware of this timetable," says Chong.
In fact, the fight over same-sex marriage in Hawaii has been unusually civil. Gomes recalls that at a press conference announcing Chang's ruling, a spokesman for Hawaii's Future Today even gave her a congratulatory hug.
"Luckily, public discussion has never risen to the kind of hurtful, malicious, violent climate seen in other parts of the country," says Chong. "There's too much diversity here. There's a climate of having to get along." So far no increase has been reported in antigay bias crimes because of the debate.
Indeed, with its long-standing liberal tradition and tolerance for racial and ethnic intermarriage, Hawaii seems the logical place for the issue of same-sex marriage to have come up. "If you look at our history, we have that kind of openness and acceptance," says Gomes. "I think we're a different kind of community."
And yet the hunger for same-sex marriage goes far beyond the islands' shores. In Fort Lauderdale, Fla., in February, some 200 couples are expected to join together in a mass commitment ceremony as part of the city's Winter Gayla 97.
"Publicly acknowledging your relationship is something many gay couples want to do," says Arnoldo Ramirez, an organizer for the event. "Hawaii has given people hope that the civil right of marriage is within our grasp, that it's a matter of time."
Yet activists in Hawaii are concerned that mainland gays and lesbians are just sitting back and waiting to fill in a date on their wedding invitations while a handful of people on the islands pave the way. Says Melillo: "We feel frustrated that we haven't gotten as much support from the mainland as we would like—not just financially but also morally."
The largest group seeking such support is the Hawai'i Equal Rights Marriage Project, which runs on a shoestring budget largely out of a spare bedroom in director Sue Reardon's home and on the covered terrace of activist Tom Ramsey's apartment. "I'd hate to say we're a virtual organization," says Ramsey, pointing to the group's Web site. "We do have a post-office box."
Gays and lesbians in Hawaii have been energized by the marriage effort, says Ramsey. But for a cause with far-reaching national implications, HERMP's fund-raising efforts on the mainland have met with spotty success at best. Foley is still owed some $50,000 in legal fees. The financial shortfall grates on local activists, who are convinced that a relatively modest investment could produce big results.
"My sense is that it should be a high priority for mainland organizations," says Ramsey. "It would carry from one state to another. To us, it's been frustrating not to somehow get the message over."
Ramsey, Foley, and others criticize national gay groups, particularly the Human Rights Campaign—whose executive director, Elizabeth Birch, once lived in Hawaii—for using the marriage issue to raise money for themselves without passing any along to HERMP. But Kim Mills, a spokeswoman for the HRC, says that such criticism is misplaced. "The fact is that we are primarily a federal lobby," she says. "We have provided information and assistance to people in Hawaii. We have spent money on this issue."
When—not if, as Foley insists—same-sex marriage becomes the law in Hawaii, people are bracing for an influx of gay and lesbian couples looking to get hitched. But unlike their Hawaiian peers, who have had years to consider the issue, many mainland gays and lesbians may not understand exactly what marriage would entail.
"When I talk to the well-to-do Hollywood types, they don't think they need it," Foley marvels. "They think they have all the legal arrangements they need. They don't understand that if the breadwinner is hit by a truck, you can't sue."
Many gay men and lesbians also have not considered that marriage is the ultimate coming-out statement. "The first thing you have to do before even thinking about getting married is come out," says Rodrigues.
Because the idea of same-sex marriage is still so new for many mainland gay and lesbian couples, it is impossible to predict how they will avail themselves of the opportunity once they have it. Foley, for one, believes that some couples will choose romance over activism, privately getting married in the islands and then not making much of their union publicly once they return to the mainland. (No one in Hawaii believes that same-sex marriage will lead to the permanent relocation of a large number of gays from the mainland.)
Among the first to tie the knot, of course, will be the plaintiffs. "We feel we've waited all our lives for this," says Melillo. "Every year is a hardship." He and Lagon, both of whom are ministers, have talked about Melillo's performing the ceremony himself. "We have family expecting a fabulous ceremony," Melillo says. "We'd be neglectful if we didn't have one."
Baehr and Dancel plan a private wedding on a mountain slope in Maui, away from the glare of the media. "We may have found ourselves doing our best to live up to our surprise responsibility as role models," says Baehr. "But on our wedding day it's not about public education. It's about our commitment to each other, and that's private and personal."
Sitting on their patio in Waianae on Oahu with their daughter, her boyfriend, and their 7-month-old grandson, Pregil and Rodrigues talk about the case every night. They keep a running conversation of their plans.
"I wanted to get married on Christmas Day," says Pregil.
"But we have our grandson's party coming up, so we'll have to do that first," Rodrigues explains.
"She wants it fabulous," adds Pregil. "I want it simple."
"I guess I'm old-fashioned," Rodrigues concludes. "You do it once and one time only. For me, once I'm married, even if there are hard times, I'm not getting a divorce. I'll do whatever I have to to make it work. I don't fight for something just to let it go."

Model E buyers
Model E buyers
Thanks for your thoughts, Robert.
Here's how I see it:
Case 1: production-constrained, long waits, no problem. If demand is high enough for Tesla to be unable to hold inventory in stock, then that will be fine, and the short-term-needs-driven customers will be out of luck.
Case 2: demand-constrained, sales from inventory, probably no problem. If you are right and Tesla jut can't sell around 300,000 models per year of Model E without reaching short-term-needs-driven customers, then they will be able to produce inventory for those customers to access.
It's not like they need those customers now, since they are production-constrained with Model S.
Go to dealership -> go to website.
Rest goes like selling your old car. I see no extra hassle with Tesla way of business, I think it is easier that way. You just want to defend dealership-model, right?
Most people in the market for a car can get financing done on their own and walk into a Tesla store ready to write a check for any locally available loaner/display car. Even if no local cars happen to be available that day, the choice will never come down to convenience as all other car choices will be the same as comparing apples to oranges.
Things happen, but there is warranty in case of a breakdown, insurance in case of an accident, and advance notice of an ending company car lease. These measures are in place to take care of most situations listed above.
Bottom line is if a buyer isn't willing to wait for their car for a couple of weeks while the stores find and transfer one, how willing do you think they will be to wait to fuel it up?
What OP is saying is that dealers, and apparently he is one, provide the ability for people to buy a car immediately- either on impulse, or because of an urgent need- because they have unsold inventory.
Of course, everyone PAYS for that inventory in-
- inventory holding costs
- reduced selection (I have NEVER found a car dealer to have the exact car I want. Usually they order the ones they find most profitable).
@Robert Fahey
You were doing alright right up until the point where you said "go to a dealership..." because THAT isn't going to happen, period!
Tesla has a distribution plan and paradigm in place that they've no intent of deviating from and, inasmuch as literally EVERYTHING else that Tesla (and by proxy Elon Musk) has done has been spot on, there really is no incentive, rhyme nor reason, of altering it to suit the whims and fancies of some third party entity(s) looking to weasel a buck or two off of someone else's hard work.
No middle men equates to no overhead...Stealerships are nothing but middle men.
Robert "Something that offers financing and trades, for faster turnaround?"
I don't see Tesla wanting to bring in any ICE for trades. What would they do with them? sell them? NOOOOOO.
Tesla already has a program to Trade older Teslas, but if you bring in an ICE, then Tesla is not interested, and I don't want them to be interested. (although I think they were partnered with someone who would handle the trade part of it)
Financing is a different thing altogether. Tesla offers a lease/buy item (or guaranteed buy-back if you use their financing). It may be different in other countries, but financing is available.
Although I think a vast majority already get financing done in preparation for the buy. (Because once you click "Order", then there is the list of "to-dos" for buyers to do so that the car can be made and delivered.)
I suspect people who will buy Model E:
1. People who want a Tesla but cannot afford an S or X.
2. People who bought an S and/or X that will pretty much support every release that Tesla comes up with (kind of like iPhone sales)
3. Someone that just wants an electric car, with range, that doesn't necessarily find value in any of the non Tesla offerings...
oh and
4. People who bought an S and/or X that may be enticed for certain features that may be on the E that isnt on the S or X.
5. People that want Tesla EV, but don't have any use for car as large as Model S.
It's really hard for most people to get the "demand-constrained, pumping sales" model out of their heads. While all new owners have some tendency to justify and "pump" their acquisitions for a while, TM owners are in a class by themselves, continuing to do so for (so far) 18 months after taking delivery. TM gets word-of-mouth and free publicity to die for. Their "marketing" expenditures are almost entirely value-adding initiatives to make their cars even more convenient and desireable (SvCs and SrCs).
It is yet to be proven that the same mode of selling will work for the X and E, but indications are that TM is going to assume so until proven wrong.
I think that Tesla change the game with Model E. If they are able to build a battery gigafactory and produce batteries 30-40% cheaper than the current $200/KW-hr, with improvements in energy density then a car with $35k is possible and it may do better than 200 miles per charge. With $5/fill up, "free" supercharger use option, there could be huge demand for Model E in this price segment.
The only folks who would be interested in a ICE are those who do a lot of long distance driving and can not afford the time to charge or they go to remote areas with no chargers... traveling, sales people, etc. With a trade off of $5 electric fill up that lasts 40 min, versus $50 gasoline fill up that lasts 5 minutes... it would be a tough choice in $/hour cost for most people in terms of their time worth.
There are enough investors who believe that Tesla will disrupt the ICE auto market. Enough to bid Tesla market cap to $23B,
"There are enough investors who believe that Tesla will disrupt the ICE auto market. Enough to bid Tesla market cap to $23B,"
And there're many who play the lotto daily too!
And the current market cap for TSLA is $24.3B

Realize an electric car that never needs to be recharged. Here's how. My name is Kris Kuehl. I am merely one man. I want you to know my scientific findings. I have the solution to absolutely every problem in the universe. I have the Cure for Cancer, and I also prove the bible to you in one paragraph. I want the world to accept my gift.
I have built a machine which will power itself and provides an infinite amount of electricity to anything. It only cost me $777.00 to make, and I highly recommend that you build one for yourself, and for the betterment of Humankind. It's as simple as a lawnmower:
1. a car battery. (the secret: a buffer, much like unto the subconcious, or temporary space.)
2. A power-inverter from Wal-mart.
3. A skilsaw circular saw that spins 5300 rpms, from Wal-mart.
4. a 5/8" axle bolt
5. A generator head from www.northerntool.com : item no. 165913 or higher.
Simply link all pieces in that order, and back into the battery, and you will have a house that will have it's own nuclear power plant, and never have to pay for electricity again. A machine, that requires no gasoline, no oil, no friction, no pollution, no supercollision, nor IRAN. I have solved the world's Energy Crisis. There is no patent on it. You have my express consent to expound upon it. I want nothing in return. Please visit my website! You may see video evidence of it there. Bless you, and I hope you have a very nice day.

I really hope that immulette is joking there.
I bought a Prius from a customer 3 years ago and haven't needed my tundra since. It's just paid for itself in gas savings, $11,000 50 mpg..With the rear seats down and the easy access thru the hatchback it's the perfect car for a contractor, telescoping ladders have made this possible...I'm hoping the model E has similar access and becomes, like my Prius, a dual use vehicle...
Bipolar, manic phase. Fer Shure.
Spam. Flagged.
So, back to the original topic...
It has me wondering... do people really buy a brand new car "urgently" ? Seriously ?
If I were not a Tesla owner, and my car broke down, leaving me with no transport, and the new car I wanted had to be ordered and would take 3 months... I would see if friends had a car I could borrow, or I would buy some beat-up old used car for $1000 that would be able to last 3 months. The $1000 I spent would easily be worth the difference between getting an OK car, and the exact car I wanted.
Do people really not think this way, or do dealers just take advantage of the fact that someone "needs a car now" by raising the urgency in their minds ?
Most people I know just 'go get a car'. They do no research whatsoever. The most they would consider is perhaps keeping an eye out for what 'the in crowd', or 'The Joneses' are rolling. That's about it. Even the few who decide that they will buy a Mercedes when they can afford one, just go get... 'a Mercedes'. They know nothing about the engine, transmission, options, or competitors. They do not research fuel economy, durability, or reliability. They are just buying the badge, and by extension, the 'status'.
RS, while I can't speak for most people (everyone has a story) - I can say that many people end up buying at the dealers who they feel most comfortable doing business with. Sure, some feel intimidated and cannot say "no" and walk out - and they get stuck with what they deserve. But in other cases, buyers just want a new car because they "don't want other people's trouble" if they were to buy used. Buying used is perhaps the smartest buying decision most people should be making. They already get the depreciation out of the way. Many used-cars are half the price of new only three years after purchase. Look at the used EVs on the market now from off-lease situations. Half or less than the original MSRP. Great deals can be had even with today's new tech.
If a driver does less than 10K miles a year, there is really no reason to buy new at all. Except they get that new car smell and pricey satisfaction that comes with it.
It is most likely that the E will be in demand from all over the world and it will be hard to get one for years. No need for Tesla to get into financing or trade-ins. They could partner with banks.
One thing to think about is that lots of people can afford an S or X but would never buy a car that expensive. Lots of these people are going to line up for something they can live with and they will make cash deposits to get up front in line.
bonaire & carlgo: +1 UP!
I think that leasing will play a role in distribution of the Tesla Model ≡, though it may not be in the traditional sense. Tesla Motors will not need to 'pad out' quarterly sales figures with leases for years. I think that leasing will be offered specifically to meet the paradigm goal of Tesla Generation III as a whole: prove that electrical vehicles can be a viable, affordable, compelling transportation option for the mass market. In other words, if someone can acquire a Model ≡ 60 for $2500 down and $300 per month on a 24-to-36 month lease, that definitely qualifies as 'affordable'.
I have said for quite some time that many of the people who buy the Model ≡ will be current owners of the Model S. Some will be trading down, just to have a smaller car that fits their lifestyle a bit better as empty-nesters or city-goers. Some will be more frugal than ever, by getting a car that is closer to the price range they bought before the Model S was available. Some will be fleshing out their Tesla stable, buying something safe and reliable for use by other members of their Family. Some will be literaly sharing the wealth, making sure that as many people as possible drive a Tesla, right down to the company fleet of salesperson vehicles.
Such "cannibalization" of the S & X markets will be a trivial factor, I think. The interplay will be interesting to watch, though!
Carlgo has the nail. I'm a potential 3 owner. I still can't convince myself to spend over £60,000 gbp on a car when that could pay off a big chunk of my mortgage. 30-40k on a model 3 is more palatable.
However it will depend on interior space. And the fact that I'll be in a position to buy late 2016 and the 3 might not be hitting uk till 2018. My financial position will change significantly by next year so will see how I feel then.
If you want to get rid of an old car there are now plenty of companies advertising to buy up your car and give you better than what dealer would pay.
Best option is still to sell private thru classifieds. You get more money and buyer gets to cut out the middleman & a cheaper car. All my previous cars have sold on thw "first page" of same model and milage but i got £1,000 to £3,000 more than trading. Not bad for 1 hour doing photos 1 on advert and about 2 doing phone calls and viewings. That made my time worth £250/hour. :)
Ive bought 3 the same way. And bought a used car warranty off the web fpr £50.
Which means the dealer basically charges 1-3k for a full valet and having the car in Stock. No thanks.
When buying new maybe it's different in US but here we spend hours on auto sites comparing fuel consumption, luggage space, braking distances, colour palletes and what options and gizmos there are. Oh and expected residuals. Then test drive 5 or 6 test drives and finally put in an order and wait 2 to 6 months for a custom build to come off the line.
I figure myself as a potential 3 owner. Why?
I would have a hard time spending more than my annual earnings on a single vehicle. I'm hoping Model 3 will be about half the cost - that I could justify.
However, I'd rather have the space in the S or X. (We currently have a mini van and medium sized SUV in our house) So I could possibly consider a used S at the appropriate time; depends on what the used Tesla market looks like.
Spam posts are about as useful for bumping old threads as dealerships are at providing a great customer experience.

NCUA Settles With Todd Lane in WesCorp Suit
According to court documents filed in U.S. District Court, the NCUA has settled with former Western Corporate FCU Chief Financial Officer Todd Lane.
The confidential deal with the last remaining WesCorp defendant is subject to approval by the NCUA Board and general counsel, according to civil minutes filed in California's Central District.
Records of the settlement will be sealed per court orders. The NCUA already has issued prohibition or cease and desist orders against former WesCorp employees Bob Burrell, Tim Sidely, Bob Siravo and Tom Swedberg, as well as former U.S. Central FCU CEO Francis Lee and former Members United Corporate FCU CEO Joe Herbst, but no such order is listed for Lane.
Lane, who is currently chief financial officer at the $1.7 billion California Coast Credit Union in San Diego, did not return a call requesting comment. The NCUA did not respond to a request for comment.
Last month, Lane was named secretary/treasurer of the board for the California Credit Union League's Richard Myles Johnson Foundation.

SIT international institute turns 50
BRATTLEBORO -- From 1964 until today, SIT has tried to make a difference. Many would agree that it has made a difference around the globe.
"I'm so thankful today, I don't need to suppress," said SIT Graduate Institute International Education Associate Professor and Chairwoman Sora Friedman as some tears fell from her eyes. "I'm so overcome with emotion. The common element we have here is to make the world a better place."
Provost John Lucas told alumni, who gathered over the weekend to celebrate the 50 years of the institute's existence, to check out the newly renovated library.
"We're delighted at the turn out," he said. "We are completely at capacity."
There were receptions, discussions and presentations held at the Brattleboro campus starting on Friday night and ending on Sunday afternoon. Alumni who could not make it interacted through Skype and Facebook, making the point that technology has come pretty far in the last several decades.
Lucas mentioned that a new SIT center opened in Washington, D.C., and that 50 percent of its students are international. In Brattleboro, international students make up 30 percent of its roster.
"We have a real global impact," he said, adding that for the study abroad program, innovation labs in North India look at the basic needs of food while labs in Jordan look at water. "It's exciting to see we're the same institution but we're also changing and we're adapting. We're trying to make our model more accessible and affordable."
Lucas encouraged everyone to ask questions and get connected. He said the position of director of alumni engagement was going to be brought back. That position would be advertised on the website, sit.edu.
During a plenary discussion on the institute, SIT Graduate Institute Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages Associate Professor Elizabeth Tannenbaum spoke of how SIT's sense of community remains closest to her heart. She said the students tend to work together and not compete.
"As a faculty member, I see that continuing," she said. "Each group develops their own sense of community."
Adding to that thought, SIT Graduate Institute Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages Professor and Chairwoman Susan Barduhn said it was the sense of networking that stays closest to her heart.
Friedman said she tells students the greatest take away from the program will be friends. She mentioned being thrilled with the investment in the Brattleboro campus and that it had not gone away in all these years.
In 1984, she recalled the first computer making its way onto campus.
"The word network was only for people," Friedman said.
SIT Graduate Institute Intercultural Service, Leadership and Management Professor Ryland White had memories of sledding down the campus' hill on a lunch tray, which some alumni said was reserved mostly for the Brazilian students during that time. She also remembered skinny dipping in a pond while others remembered being scared of snapping turtles in that water.
To her, the Intercultural communication, language and social change elements that the institute focuses on are still important to the institute.
"We are still reflective practitioners. I feel that is the core of staying on the cutting edge," said White.
Barduhn pointed out that the institute started as a way for the Peace Corps to train by learning languages and by the 1980s, students were learning a lot about writing grant proposals.
Today, she said a reading project seeks to improve reading education in Pakistan for 2 million students. It is being done by training 94,000 teachers for 38,000 public schools.
"We are all over the world," Barduhn concluded.
During the SIT Study Abroad plenary discussion, SIT Study Abroad Academic Director for India: Health and Human Rights Azim Khan said the program was designed in a way that had students connect and be nice to people. They learned they could disagree respectfully.
"A knowledge seeker has to be humble," he added.
By the time students graduate from Khan's program, he says they are his friend. And every year, a Fulbright Scholar is produced. Federal grants are given for research projects approved for the Fulbright program.
Before boarding an airplane to a foreign country, students must submit a project proposal to a local review board. The board will assess to see whether it is viable, SIT Study Abroad Academic Dean for the Middle East, North Africa and Europe Said Graiouid told alumni.
Once students are out in the field, they are to pay respect and tribute to those they are studying.
Graiouid brought up a tale of a Kenyan villager who noticed all the world's knowledge was vanishing. He set out on a journey and put each bit of knowledge he found into a bag. After several years, that man then decided to go back to his village. He looked around and found a coconut tree where he could store the collection of knowledge.
"He looked down and his son was perplexed. He yelled, 'I need help!' His son said, 'Anyone with that much knowledge on his back would know I can't help from here,'" said Graiouid.
The knowledge then fell and scattered on the ground.
"We are the elephant's walk," said Susan Chaffin, an alumna of SIT Study Abroad program.
She studied in Kenya in 1985 and now has a career in international finance and economic development.
When asked about whether students were changing, Khan said over the last seven years, students have changed a little bit. He cited recent upgrades in technology.
"I have to remind them, 'You are in India,'" he said. "'You are in the real world. Don't go to the virtual world so often.' It's not a criticism of America. It's all over."
Students are always changing. But to Khan, it's up to the teachers to address the challenges that come with change.

3.0202 General powers.Cite as [A.S.C.A. § 3.0202 ]
(a) The High Court of American Samoa shall have power to issue all writs and other process, make rules and orders, and do all acts, not inconsistent with law or with the rules
made by the Chief Justice of American Samoa, as may be required for the due administration of justice, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing powers, may grant bail, accept and forfeit security therefor, make orders for the attendance of witnesses with or without documents, make orders for the disposal of exhibits and punish for contempt of court.
(b) The trial and land and titles divisions of the High Court shall have the power to give declaratory relief.History: 1962; PL 7-36; 1969, PL 11-54; amd 1979, PL 16-28 § 12.
Amendments: 1979 Section designated subsection (a), and subsection (b) added.
Case Notes:
Under this section, the Appellate Division of the High Court, being a tribunal superior to the Trial Division of the High Court, has the power to grant a writ or prohibition against the Trial Division. Vessel Fijian Swift v. Trial Division, 4 ASR 983 (1975).
As the Court of last resort, the Appellate Division of the High Court is responsible for securing order and regularity in judicial proceedings within its Territorial and statutory jurisdiction; thus, it may issue a writ of prohibition against the Trial Division of the High Court if to do so would be in aid of appellate jurisdiction of the Appellate Division. Vessel Fijian Swift v. Trial Division, 4 ASR 983 (1975).
There is no provision of the American Samoa Code which gives any Court in the Territory, or any division or department of any Court, either expressly or by implication, in rem admiralty and maritime jurisdiction; therefore, it would be inconsistent with law for the High Court to issue process for the arrest of a vessel and such action is not within the Court's power under this section. Vessel Fijian Swift v. Trial Division, 4 ASR 983 (1975).
