PrintHappy Monday, everyone. I'm kinda bummed that zk beat me to clipping that Royle story :)
Sports Stories of the Year: New skipper, new hope for Orioles - Carroll County Times: Local
Along with a bunch of high school achievements, the Orioles make the list for Top 10 sports moments of 2010. -duck
The Royle Rundown: Something smells crabby in Baltimore
Ahahaha. I hate to provide the traffic, but this is so egregious, I have to link. Play along.... In one column (plus its comments), Jen Royle: a) Tries to make a case for you to believe her over Buck Showalter; b) Says she'd heard Baltimoreans were 'provincial', but 'never thought it would ever be this bad'; c) Denies that provincial has a negative connotation; d) Asks people who disagree with her to stop commenting; e) ALL OF THE ABOVE. -zk
Orioles outfielder Nick Markakis gives back via his foundation | orioles.com: News
Man, this is so awesome. The best right fielder in baseball and his wife Christina continue to donate tons of time and money to local families. Among the things they did this year was to give 21 winter coats (in honor of Nicky's uniform number) to the kids of St. VIncent's Villa. -zk
Phil Wood - MASNsports.com
Regardless of what the Orioles do, The Natinals are planning to sign a 1B this week, according to Wood. They're apparently 'close' to a one-year deal with Derrek Lee, who would prefer to stay in the NL. -zk

re: Royle commenters
Seems like a lot of people feel the need to ingratiate themselves to Jen Royle. I don’t get it.
well...it looks like many of them are lonely gentlemen enamored with her "good" looks
and she does act very nice, maybe even a touch flirty, with the people who throw her compliments.
And of course, she moderates her comments
Anyone who describes themselves as
a “Boston native. NYC resident for a decade. Recently traded Yankees for Orioles & Ravens” (twitter) sounds like just about the last person I was to hear from on the topic of Baltimore sports.

Fantasia is brilliant.
I love Mickey’s character. He’s definitely Disney’s best character.

New Years Eve plans?
I’m going to a party at the Pier V Hotel. Casino-themed with proceeds going to National MS Society, great view of the Harbor fireworks, I’m pretty excited. It’ll be my first NYE not spent behind the bar in four years.
What’s everyone else up to?

My plan started off as a friend trying to host a somewhat nice dinner party before going out somewhere in Philly

My nephew was married at Christmas time.
But he a pretty good reason. It was the only time of the year that he could get most of his buddies from college to attend. As it was two guys, including his best man, couldn’t make it due to being deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan.
As a side note, he and Kirsten are expecting their first baby this spring. Gee, I hope it is a boy. Can you imagine having a daughter who is born in Italy? Not only will she want to go shopping for shoes all the time – she’s going to insist on the expensive Italian ones.

I like the new Chevy add.
The one that talks about how Chevrolet is helping the planet.
Also known as the add for the scientifically illiterate.
As if switching to an electric car is going to reduce the amount of CO2 that gets produced.
For the record, I’m all for electric vehicles. They could be a significant component in making us energy independant. That is a worthwhile goal. Not “saving the planet” from the boogeyman (aka CO2).

Worrying about CO2 and ignoring CH4 or CFC's is akin to ...
… worrying about how you are going the deal with the midget with the plastic cocktail sword, and ignoring the 300 lb gorilla who trained for years with Shaolin warrior monks.
As any good accountant will tell you – follow the money. The same applies to the debate on global warming and CO2. Follow the money.
FYI – Since most CFC’s were banned in the 80’s, they no longer represent as critical threat as they once did. In fact, research is indicating that the degradation of CFC’s in the atmosphere could be a significant factor in the leveling off of average glodal temperatures over the past decade.

Check the web site at UA Huntsville.
They keep the satellite temp data. Starting about 2001, the rising plot started leveling off and has stayed that way. I haven’t looked at it since early in the year, so 2010 data wasn’t in.
Also, the fact that 2001 to 2010 may be the warmest decade on record is not relevant to the point that the trend of rising temperature plateaued during the decade. No increase does not mean the temperature is dropping.
And the point of debate is not whether the average global temerature has been increasing over the last 100 years. The debate is on the cause(s). Why claim it is primarily caused by CO2 when there are other greenhouse gases that have considerably more impact than it? Or ignore a 30 year cycle of increased solar radiation. What really makes me believe that CO2 is a boogeyman is knowing the mechanism that makes a gas a “greenhouse” gas. Has to do with incidence. Different gas molecules will absorb solar radiation within a certain incidence – spectrum if you will. In looking at this aspect, you find two things. The width of spectrum varies by gas (hence why methane has 4 times the impact as CO2) and the ability to absorb within a particular part of the spectrum has a saturation point. In other words, once you have reached the point where you are absorbing all of the energy in a particular spectrum, it does not matter how much more of that greenhouse gas you add to the atmosphere. CO2 was just about at that point about 15 years ago.

Don Cherry
What? I'm very confused.
The year 2010 is almost certain to rank in the top 3 warmest years since the beginning of instrumental climate records in 1850, according to data sources compiled by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). The global combined sea surface and land surface air temperature for 2010 (January–October) is currently estimated at 0.55°C ± 0.11°C1 (0.99°F ± 0.20°F) above the 1961–1990 annual average of 14.00°C/57.2°F. At present, 2010’s nominal value is the highest on record, just ahead of 1998 (January-October anomaly +0.53°C) and 2005 (0.52°C)2. The ERA-Interim3 reanalysis data are also indicating that January-October 2010 temperatures are near record levels. The final ranking of 2010 will not become clear until November and December data are analysed in early 2011. Preliminary operational data from 1-25 November indicate that global temperatures from November 2010 are similar to those observed in November 2005, indicating that global temperatures for 2010 are continuing to track near record levels.
If that’s saying that global temperatures are not continuing to rise, then it must be in some kind of language that I don’t understand. They say specifically that this year is likely to be the hottest year in history capping off a decade that was the hottest in history – that certainly doesn’t sound like leveling off to me.
And also why is the data that the UN compiles and sites any less valid than the data sited by reason.com?
I am eating you, motherfucker. You cannot hurt me. - PhilR8
First, look at the periods of comparison.
They use the 30 year period from 1961 – 1990. That gives them a bigger delta, which they can make more newsworthy.
To determine whether or not the aveage temperatures continued to increase during the last decade todecade in a half, they would have had to compare it to 15 year period from 1995 to 2010. But that would have given them something on the order of being 0.04 degrees warmer, which is swamped by annual fluctuations in temperature – in other words, not attention grabbing.
Another clue is how they indicate 2010 temps are similar to those in 2005. At a minimum it means there hasn’t been any change and it could be an indication that temperatures may have dropped slightly during the intervening 4 years and then spiked again in 2010.
Look at it this way. You come over for dinner at my house and the thermostat is set at 58. My daughter immediately turns it up to 64. Over the next hour or so, the temperature will increase until it hits 64. At that point it will remain around 64 degrees, plus or minus a half degree. It will still be record setting when compared to the average monthy temperature my wife keeps the house at, but it won’t be increasing.
The whole point of this is that if CO2 is truly the driving factor behind the rise in mean global temperature, we would not expect to see a leveling out in the increase in temperature.

Don Cherry
I’m still really confused. You seem to be saying that they’re cherry picking by expanding the period of time that they’re looking at from your preferred period of 15 years to their preferred period of 30 years. Wouldn’t doing it your way just be cherry picking in the opposite direction?
It really seems like you’re saying “yeah it’s been hot as hell, so of course it’s still going to be hot as hell” and 3-4 years of flattening temperatures is enough to say that the planet (being 4.6 B years old) is no longer heating up.
To me it seems like you’re trying to manipulate the data to prove your point and you think they’re trying to manipulate the data to prove their point, but I’ll tend to believe the UN over random blogger dude every time.
I am eating you, motherfucker. You cannot hurt me. - PhilR8
Not sure I can explain this so you will understand.
Global mean surface temperure has been basically flat (i.e. the change is considered statistically insignificant) for at least the past 10 years. That does not mean that one year does not see a rise or drop from the previous year. Temperature always fluctuates. What you want to look at is whether or not it is continuing to track up, track down or stay steady.
The fact the first decade of the 21st century has seen some record temperatures indicates that the climate is warmer now than it was during most of the 20th century. It is NOT proof by itself that it is still rising.
As for what period you choose for comparison purposes, the difference between 15 years verses 30 is not the critical element. What matters is what the average temperatures were for the two periods.
If the average was say 56 degrees from 1960 – 1990 and it is now 56.6 degrees, then you have a statisically significant change. However if the average temperature from about 1990 to 2010 is 56.5 degrees, then the change is not significant. Sure, on average any year during the past decade is significantly warmer than one from 1960 to 1990. But it is not significantly warmer than any year from the last decade or more. That means no change. The fact that it is not changing is what is important.

Don Cherry
But by the same logic, the fact that it is not significantly different than 2005 (what the report is indicating) or 2001 does not mean that it’s NOT increasing over the last 30 or 50 or 100 years which is what most people who care about global warming argue. None of them particularly care what the temperature change has been over the last 10 years – they care what it’s been over the last 100.
I am eating you, motherfucker. You cannot hurt me. - PhilR8
You are correct ...
… and that is part of the problem.
As I indicated earlier, the debate isn’t about whether or not average temperature has increased the past century. It is about what is driving the change.
I’m sure you have seen Michael Mann’s hockey stick graph. I won’t go into all of the problems with that little piece of graphic art. I’m referring to it simply because it is the most referenced source for the belief that the rise in global temperature is directly related to the rise in atmospheric CO2.
Whether or not temperatures have continued to rise during the past 10 – 15 years is important due to the fact that concentrations of CO2 have continued to rise. If there really is a direct relationship between the two, then one would expect to see a corresponding rise in temperture over the same time period. And we haven’t. Unless someone can come up with some other factor (or factors) explaining why temperature hasn’t continued it’s corresponding rise along with CO2, the theory that human activity, by means of increased production of CO2, is the primary driver of global climate change has a very big hole in it.

Don Cherry
Well
but can’t the trend be continuing (of both increased CO2 and increasing temps) and still have random bouncing of temps from year to year?
I am eating you, motherfucker. You cannot hurt me. - PhilR8
Yes, it can.
But the longer period of time you look at, the more the randomness or noise evens out and you can look for trends.
Now 10 – 15 years is not much of a time span when talking about global climate change. But neither is 30 or even 100 years. (That’s part of the problem with Mann’s graph. He changes the time scale for the last couple of centuries. It has the effect of making the year to year or decade to decade variations seem more pronounced. )
When I discuss global climate change, one of the points I try to get across is that you have to be very careful with what you are being told. Like any subject, but probably more so with something technical and complex, people dumb it down so that the average person might understand it. But in dumbing it down, there is avery big risk that someone can spin it to serve whatever agenda they have.
When you look at the roles played by methane and CO2, it quickly becomes clear(or it should), that methane has far greater impact as a greenhouse gas than CO2. So why are we not seeing all sorts of efforts to reduce methane? Every dollar spent limiting or reducing methane released into the atmosphere should theoritically have 4 times the impact as a dollar spent on reducing CO2.
The reason? Politicians and government agencies can have far more impact over the lives of people by convincing us we have to regulate CO2 than they can by saying the same thing about methane. How does it feel to have your own government (in the form of the EPA) rule that you and everyone you know is a point source polluter? That is exactly what they have done by coming up with the finding that CO2 is a polluting gas.

Just pointing out that all that talk about change and hope was the same old stuff politicians always give us. This is not a knock on the President. It is a knock on all the people foolish enough to believe that things were going to be different.

it hasn't been left by the wayside
he signed an executive order to that effect early in his tenure.
he was then told by Gates that he needed to waive it for a particular DoD appointee, and rather than risk national security, he agreed.
while you may not see the difference, there is one. under previous administrations, there was no control, and lobbyists were rampant. under the current one, former lobbyists will have to be waived in to get work with the government. only a small handful of lobbyists have been waived in, and for very specific reasons.
so things are different, and it is not the “same old stuff”. while technically Obama may have broken the letter of his promise, Washington DC is a grey area when it comes to getting things done, and he has realized that the hard way. It is still a vast improvement from previous administrations.

If it was waived only the one occassion, then I stand corrected.

Can you call a woman a dipshit? If so, then she is certainly one. I particularly liked how she replied that she was just repeating what people had told her. Guess her idea of journalism is to act like a biological recorder. Doing some research and following up to confirm sources is so passe these days.

New article on Orioles Insider
nothing really new there, but this caught my eye:
Add starting pitching depth: This is the one area that is the biggest mystery because it’s something the Orioles clearly want to do, but they haven’t been connected to any of the available free agent starters.
[snip]
Most people I talk to suggest that the Orioles will go the trade route in acquiring a starter, but I’m not sure how many teams out there are trading starting pitching depth. The Philadelphia Phillies would obviously have no issues parting with Joe Blanton, but he’s another guy that the Orioles aren’t extremely high on.
We’ve been over the “should the Orioles add a starter” thing a couple of times already, so let’s ignore that question and focus on this one: What exactly are the Orioles looking for here? It can’t be simple innings ala Kevin Millwood, because Fat Joe can provide those no problem. It can’t be, you know, actual quality, because the good pitchers aren’t available for the price the O’s are (or should be) willing to pay.
I can’t figure it.
"I looked at the clock... because I was saying to myself... It's five to seven, where could he be going with that sawed off shotgun?"
Maybe Andy actually agrees with most of us and thinks adding a starter isn't worth it
but saying otherwise appeases certain less informed members of the media
all I can think is
that they are of likemind to myself: find someone desperate for work at the end of the offseason to sign to a minor league deal to serve as depth underneath Tillman and Bergesen and perhaps even Britton.
"I looked at the clock... because I was saying to myself... It's five to seven, where could he be going with that sawed off shotgun?"
Wouldn't that be awesome if it's true
To have a GM who knows what he’s doing?
"It has nothing to do with corruption. It's sheer, complete, total incompetence." - Joe Rogan
Very Confusing
Why would we trade for a starter when all we have to trade is… starting pitching prospects?
"I guess if there wasn't any luck involved I'd win everytime." -Phil Hellmuth
by Astronaut Mike Dexter on Dec 27, 2010 3:13 PM EST up reply actions
not for Blanton
they’re just trying to get rid of him. that’s part of the reason his name’s even coming up. no team’s going to trade real prospects for Blanton, or Kawakami for that matter, not with the contracts they have. I mean when we traded for Millwood, he was a pretty decent pitcher coming off a good season in an AL hitter’s park, with a 1 year (but expensive) contract. Blanton’s a mediocre pitcher coming off a bad season in an NL hitter’s park, with a 2 year (but slightly less expensive) contract. we only gave up a reliever and a Rule 5 pick for Millwood – it certainly won’t take any more for Blanton.
well
you’re right that Blanton can give you innings, but he’s also being paid like $20 million over the next two years. I’m sure if they could get someone as “good” as Blanton, but for a more reasonable price (through trade or free agency), they’d be fine with it.
I only played Uncharted 1
and it’s…okay, I guess. It’s fun and easy and quick, and it’s obvious the designers of the series are more interested in the look and the Indiana Jones-esque adventure story than in the gameplay. I never played the sequel or any of the Assassin’s Creed games.
"I looked at the clock... because I was saying to myself... It's five to seven, where could he be going with that sawed off shotgun?"
yeah… Uncharted 1 was very “blah” to me. Uncharted 2 is MUCH better though. At first I was disappointed, because the gameplay is basically exactly the same, but the execution is so much better.
I haven’t played Brotherhood, but thought Assassin’s Creed 2 was awesome. Very different from the Uncharted games. Uncharted is non-stop action for 12 hours. Assassin’s Creed plays out much slower, with a lot of side-missions and exploration. You could probably spend anywhere from 20-40 hours playing AC2.
Assassins Creed II, then Brotherhood.

Ehhh, I'm a better baker than cook.
There are some things I’m very good and cooking, and others I’m merely competent. I’m great at homemade applesauce and pasta dishes. I make a pretty mean mousse. I’m good at bread baking and cakes and cookies etc. etc.
I can’t think of anything else I’m REALLY good at, but you know, I can help my dad with meat and poultry dishes.

she is good. She can open a fridge and 30 minutes later have a meal. I am nothing compared to her.
I've learned to cheat.
Last week made a Coq au vin (sort of).
I used frozen carrots and chopped onions (couldn’t find the pearl ones), canned mushrooms and box wild & long grain rice. It’s not the same as cutting up a bird and slow cooking it for a couple of hours, but it’s a lot easier and faster. Pretty tasty as well.

closing in on LaRoche again?
LaRoche had been insisting on a three-year deal, but there is some talk that his demands have come down a little bit and more in the Orioles’ preferred range. That has led to talks between the two sides, which were clearly at an impasse for much of last week, picking up again. Still, some key decision makers in the organization maintain interest in Lee, who is seeking a one-year deal in the $10 million range. The Orioles have traded proposals with Lee’s agent, Casey Close, on a couple of occasions and the two sides aren’t too far apart on terms. However, Lee, like LaRoche, does have other options, and didn’t have the Orioles high on his wish list when free agency began. I’m told that he has warmed to the idea a little, but it’s hardly a sure thing that he’d come to Baltimore even if the Orioles had the best offer on the table. The Texas Rangers, Seattle Mariners, Tampa Bay Rays, Arizona Diamondbacks and Washington Nationals are among the teams that still could add a first baseman.
It sounds like maybe the Orioles never offered him a 3-year, $21M deal. Wait, did someone say they had?

JP and Stacey are very much anti-space saving
Me? If I spent 4 hours digging out my car, and ran to the store to get milk and came back with some hatchback sitting there, I’d be taking a baseball bat to it.
That’s why I like having my own damn driveway, even if it is 130 feet long.

Space-saving is ridiculous.
Nobody digs out their car to get milk in a major city. They can walk to milk-selling places. It’s not like the country, where you have to travel for half an hour, and then wait for them to bring the cow around back.

Well, in the books
Aragorn has been wandering the world and keeping it safe from Sauron. For a time he inspired Gondor to victory against the Corsairs under the name Thorongil.
Also Aragorn is more truly a King of the Northern Kingdom of Arnor rather than the Southern (and formerly lesser) of Gondor; there are a few other Dunedain hanging around up north, around Rivendell and the Shire, and Aragorn has been acting as their chieftan for the past 80 years.
