Faith in The Age Of Science
The age in that we live is not one of faith. It is an age of science, alternatively called, The Atomic Age, The Space Age, The Computer Age.
In contrast to science, faith seems insubstantial and entirely subjective. The atomic bomb, flights to the moon and the computer — which has become a practical necessity in today's world — are impressive, solid and impossible to ignore.
Initial impressions, however, no matter how powerful, can be terribly misleading.
Science, on deeper inspection, is both evolutionary and theoretical. It is always evolving and always limited by its theoretical nature.
Physics has come a long way from the time when its leading proponents held that there were but four natural elements — earth, air, fire and water. We now know that planets do not orbit in perfect circles, that the embryo does not contain a homunculus (little man), that there are living organisms not visible to the naked eye, and that the atom is not "uncuttable."
There are a myriad of theories, to be sure, concerning the origin of life, the nature of consciousness, the size of the universe and the relationship between the mind and the body.
Science may be evolving in the general direction of truth, but due to its theoretical limitations, is akin to baling water from a boat using a leaky bucket. There are always aspects of truth waiting to be discovered.
In retrospect, scientists of the past are comparable with students moving through grade school, ever exchanging erroneous opinions for less erroneous ones.
The earth is no longer flat, the moon does not cause pregnancy, atoms are not solid, and the stars have lost their imperishable essence.
Sir Isaac Newton thought of himself as being "only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, while the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me."
On the other hand, faith, which looks so feeble when contrasted with science, is neither evolutionary nor theoretical.
When we look back at the saints of yore, we find that they were no less solid in their spiritual lives than the saints of the modern era. St. Paul, St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, to take but three examples, were not limited in their personal holiness by the climate of their times.
Scientists who told Louis Pasteur that invisible germs did not exist because they could "see" that they did not exist, truly were victims of their times.
Science is nourished by investigation, theorizing, and experimentation. Faith is nourished by prayer and good works.
While scientists try to lift the veil of Maya through the painstaking application of their scientific method, spiritual souls bind themselves to God's truth by these twin practices of prayer and good works.
Not everyone can be a scientist. But everyone is called to be a more Godlike person. If God could be found only through the avenue of science, there would be far more atheists and agnostics in the world.
Prayer and good works are a surer way of becoming a more real, solid and substantial human being than science is of securing truth.
Faith certainly co-exists alongside science. But it is a grave mistake to think that faith, properly understood, is purely subjective and unrelated to truth. When Christ says, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life" (John 14:06), he is offering a more direct, immediate and practical approach to truth than what the scientist offers.
Science, as we have mentioned above, is truly impressive. But a saint is more impressive.
Our age may have given an exalted place to science because it has not had sufficient encounters with sanctity in the form of a saintly human person. Prayer and good works provide a more direct path to truth, grasped personally rather than intellectually.
Charles Darwin, Sigmund Freud and Karl Marx all believed that they had given the world a scientific blueprint for better living. Yet their theories, though proclaimed as scientific, are replete with errors and half-truths, and have brought about the nightmares of social Darwinism that opposes altruism, Freudian psychology that suppresses the spirit, and a Marxist socialism that negates both love and spirituality.
Science cannot provide a path to personal holiness. Its purview is much too small for that. But faith is of a different order, and one that can unite us with God.
It is also a grave mistake to reduce faith to mere subjectivity. Prayer, properly understood, is not a soliloquy but a communion. It does not lack an object in truth, since it is linked with God. Good works unite us with our neighbor as well as with God.
There is a reverse side to our present age of science that is aptly described as the Age of Anxiety. Playwright Arthur Miller refers to the modern world as "an air-conditioned nightmare."
Why? Because science without faith makes us cosmic orphans, and we shudder in fear when we are cognizant of our own littleness and our utter helplessness in the face of death.
Faith in science is misplaced faith. Faith in God, in Christ, nourished through prayer and good works (as well as the sacraments), is what we need as the most viable means of finding truth and fulfilling our destinies as human beings.

text: The Supra Skytop is one of the most recognized (and recognizable) high-top skate shoes of all time. Developed by Supra shoes with Supra team superstar Chad Muska, this high top skate shoe has gained a lot of attention since it's introduction, and can be seen on the feet of many non-skate-celebrities, like Justin Bieber, Slash, Lil Wayne, Heidi Klum, Jay-Z, Pete Wentz, and many more. Taking inspiration from skateboarding, pop culture, high fashion, and old-school basketball shoes, the Skytop has a long-lasting look and wear. Built for skateboarding but packed with tons of fit and style options, the Supra Skytop is the favorite shoe of many skaters, sneaker-heads, and rock stars.

Werth: 'It's not how you start, it's how you finish'
Nationals outfielder talks to MLB.com about season, impact in DC
Since outfielder Jayson Werth signed a seven-year, $126 million contract in December 2010, the Nationals have been a competitive team. The team won a National League East title in 2012, and has been considered a World Series contender at the beginning of each of the last two seasons.
MLB.com caught up with Werth on Sunday and Monday to talk about the Nationals.
MLB.com: What do you think of the Nationals' start? I think a lot of experts thought the team would be one of the best in baseball.
Jayson Werth: I would say it's not how you start, it's how you finish. I've always felt that way. It's always been my mantra. You can't really put too much weight on what happens in the first half [of the season], because what happens in the second half is where you make your season.
With that said, you have to give yourself a chance in the first half, and I think we are playing great. We are still a young team, so there is some learning aspects going on, but that's every year. I like the direction of the team, as a whole. We have a new manager, so that plays into it.
Overall, I'm happy with the start, the way we are playing. We have a lot of come-from-behind wins, which is good. As the season goes on, you can build on those things. Those are tangible assets. I don't know what people were expecting. I'm really focused on myself, talking care of my area, and just playing baseball. So far, I think we have succeeded.
MLB.com: I know you don't want the Braves to get too far ahead. They are 17-7, four games ahead of the Nationals. You want to win as much as possible.
Werth: It's too early to worry about them. They are a good team. What's that old saying? "There is more than one way to skin a cat." That's for sure.
MLB.com: Let's talk about Bryce Harper. The media has made a big deal about his play of late. Do you think we are going overboard? How do you feel about our coverage of him?
Werth: I haven't been paying attention. I know there are some people that disagree with the way [manager Matt Williams] handled it, I think. There was a situation two nights later that [Harper] could have been taken out of the game for not hustling again. If [Albert Pujols] doesn't throw that ball away, [Harper] is out at first for not hustling. That looks bad. It's not how you play the game. He is young, he is learning.
Usually, this stuff happens in Class A ball, when you are that age. He is learning at the big league level. At times, when I was taken out of the game in the South Atlantic League, nobody [cared], but since it's up here, it's so polarized. It's definitely taken out of context, and to the extreme. That's part of it. That's how managers get talented players to be motivated.
MLB.com: Harper is going to have thumb surgery on Tuesday, according to a report from ESPN.com. How much will his loss hurt the Nationals?
Werth: We're gonna have to overcome many obstacles over the course of the season, big and small, in our quest for a championship. Hopefully we can weather the storm here early, as we get healthier later in the season.
MLB.com: Do you realize the impact you have had on this team? A lot people believe the atmosphere changed once you arrived
Werth: A lot people say a lot of different things. I think it's too early to say what is and what isn't. I like to look at bodies of work, instead of speculate on things that aren't complete. When my time is done here, I'll be able to take a look back and see exactly what is and what isn't, but until then, I'm here to play baseball.
MLB.com: I understand what you are saying, but people look at this team differently, in a positive way. Are you proud of it?
Werth: Yeah, I would say so. There were some things that were said when I signed -- my motives, what I'm in it for. My motivation is to win -- year in and year out. I think the Nats have done a good job of giving us a chance since I've been here. I think that was part of the deal.
We have young, talented players that were not indicative of what the Nationals were up to at that point. It took a little foresight to see the vision, and you had to know the background of some of the players. Those were all things that were taken into account. Those are things that I knew when I signed here. What it looked like, I knew what I was getting myself into when I came here. The Nationals held their end of the bargain, for sure.
It's two years in a row we were picked to win the World Series. It's like Matt says about runners in scoring position: You continue to give yourself the opportunity. You have a chance to win. That's all you can ask for.
MLB.com: You think it's fair that everyone is picking this team win it all again?
Werth: I don't know. It's not for me to see to say. It is what it is. That's what happens when you have a team of talented players. The only problem with that for me is that speculation doesn't win anything. Being picked to win the World Series doesn't win you anything. It's not that it's a tough place to be, you still have to go there and play the games. You still have to go and play the game the right way. Play to win, do the little things. That's hard.
With all the talk, that's all it is. Talk is cheap for me. You have to go out there and play to win. If you don't, who cares where you were ranked at the beginning of the season? Like I said, it's not how you start, it's how you finish.

CBS's Hawaii Five-0 has recruited a key player from the network's other vintage Hawaii-set crime drama, Magnum P.I., to play a recurring role.
Larry Manetti, 65, who played Magnum's slick Rick from 1980 to '88, will debut in an upcoming episode titled 'Pa' ani' as local lounge legend Nicky 'The Kid' Demarco. Back in the day, Nicky was mentored by the one and only Frank Sinatra.
Sounding suspiciously similar to his old Magnum role, Manetti's elegantly dressed character owns a nightclub called The Tiki Lounge. And it just so happens that both McGarrett (Alex O'Loughlin) and Danny's (Scott Caan) fathers used to watch 'the Kid' perform.
During the hour, Manetti's character will assist the Five-0 team with a case as well as croon the Sinatra standard, 'I Got You Under My Skin'. All that's missing: a cameo from Magnum himself, Blue Bloods star Tom Selleck!
The episode will begin shooting next week for a likely late-February air date.

Resource speculation driven by financial markets, climate change and biofuels threatens starvation for the world's poor.

Tags: ethics, commodities, food prices, sustainability, economics, economy, fiscal cliff, european debt crisis, gri, necsi, esg, united nations
Recent spikes in prices of rice, soy, wheat and corn have driven many poor people in developing countries into hunger and malnutrition. In 2011, then World Bank president Robert Zoellick estimated that 44 million people fell into poverty in 2010 due to rising food prices, adding, "Food price inflation is the biggest threat today to the world's poor…one weather event and you start to push people over the edge."
The United Nations (UN) FAO Food Price Index jumped 25 percent in 2010.
The dots connecting world hunger, weather events and speculation on global financial markets are obvious. Yet, well-meaning officials at UN agencies, including the FAO, World Bank and IMF, are curiously blind. Instead, their many urgent meetings over the past three years have focused on raising more money to pay these rising prices for food staples, urging more productivity from agriculture and opposing nations curbing exports to protect their domestic foods ….

Sometimes life is more fun when you start with dessert. 🙂
Butterscotch dipped vanilla cone from Bo's <- my fave!
I promised Derek a big ice cream cone after the #SurviveOn35 challenge was over, so I made sure to deliver after dinner tonight. He ordered a double chocolate, chocolate and I stuck with my beloved butterscotch and vanilla. Derek and I tend agree on a lot of things in life, but ice cream is definitely not one. When it comes down to the basic flavors (chocolate/vanilla/swirl), he's all about the chocolate and I'm all about the vanilla. I guess we can't agree on everything.
What's your favorite dipped cone combo?
The ice cream was definitely needed. It was another crazy day where I only left my desk a couple of times to take Maddie out and to make food. Can you take a wild guess out of those two, which took longer to complete?
Maddie took 10 minutes. Lunch took 5.
The nachos were simple. I lined a cake pan with foil then layered blue tortillas, pintos beans, and shredded cheese on top. Everything went under the broiler and broiled for a few minutes or until the cheese melted. When they were done I placed the nachos in a bowl and added fresh tomatoes and plain greek yogurt.
I needed a lunch I could eat while working at my desk, and this definitely did the trick. I could type with one hand while shoveling chips in my mouth with the other.
Around snack time I had a couple of handfuls of nuts to hold me over until dinner. (photo below x2)
Dinner was amazing thanks to this pre-breaded cubed pork steak I found at Publix
I followed the directions on the package and started by heating some oil on medium-high. I fried one side of the pork in the oil for 4 minutes, then flipped the pork and did the other for 7. When the meat was cooked through, I took both pieces out and sprinkled a spoonful of flour on the pan to soak up all the oils and juices. Some milk was added to the pan and whisking was attempted to break up the flour clumps. Once the gravy was brought to a boil, then back to low, I added the meat back in and covered the pan for 5 minutes.
Come to mama!
This was good. Real good. I'm pretty sure it's hard to go wrong with country fried steak, especially when it's not overly greasy of heavy on the gravy – this version was perfect.
With the pork steak I also roasted some asparagus
And rutabaga.
I'm running behind on some Words with Friends games, perhaps it's time to get to bed and play some nightly catch up.
Good Night!

A Sheffield based media company has created a prototype Web project that tells the story behind classical music using a combination of HTML 5 and Javascript.
Mudlark's Orchestrated Text lends a context for "Winter" from Vivaldi's Four Seasons. As the page loads and the music begins to play, descriptive text emerges that aims to deepen the listener's experience. It explains how the discordant notes and melodies are used to evoke Vivaldi's vision of snow, winds, and winter scenes.
The project's creator, Richard Birkin, began coding the project wrapped up in a blanket over Christmas. Having worked on a pitch for a classical music label that utilized the brand's album sleeve notes accompanying each CD or vinyl, Birkin set out on creating his own project. He wanted to make a webpage that brought together the music and content notes of classical CDs, enhancing the listener's experience without the hassle of creating and editing a video.
While Birkin found that javascript animations running alongside music would suffice on a local level but as soon as the pages were put on a server the javascript would load instantly, falling out of sync with the music while it buffered.
Undeterred, he found a solution in the form of an HTML5 animation, Chell in the Rain for Portal 2.
"It was a sort of delicate doddle," Birkin told Wired.co.uk. "The code that I began with was written by Nick Catalano and Matt Merkle for their Portal 2 site. I'm not an expert in Javascript, but it was easy to grasp the timing triggers, animation sequences, and 'lyrics' and go from there. The hardest part was setting up the run of animations, and resequencing if I decided to add a new line in after I'd already progressed beyond it."
As the page loads the song, each piece of the text is queued up with a time and animation instruction. As the audio track reaches each timing, the browser renders the text according to the animation instruction.
The text is based on the Deutsche Grammophon "La Gran Musica" series of CDs and books, which aim to familiarize the listener with the imagery of the music and the purpose of each instrument and orchestral movement.
Despite only being a prototype, Orchestrated Text has been well received by classical music fans. "I've not seen a lot of digital experiences aimed squarely at classical music aficionados," said Birkin. "So to steer this in that direction would be brill. It would be great to have a level of content that's interesting and valuable to advanced music students, too."
Wired.co.uk recommends you pop in some headphones and head over to the Orchestrated Text page for three minutes of chilled out listening/reading. Does the text add to your experience of the music? Let us know what you think in the comments below.

2011 Previews: N.L. West
We have yet to reach the two-week mark of the season so I suppose a preview is not utterly absurd. It is often useful to watch one of the teams in person that you thought might be good, before going out on a limb for them. Just watched the Rockies spit out consecutive infield errors and some dilatory work in the rightfield corner here in New York in one inning, and I don't need to see any more.
Arizona: Buster Olney's ESPN "insider" column noted, accurately, that Manny Ramirez's next-to-last round of PED use in Los Angeles may have altered the careers of then-Diamondbacks Manager Bob Melvin and General Manager Josh Byrnes. When the juiced-up Manny led the Dodgers past the Snakes in '08, it led to Byrnes firing Melvin in '09, and then the team firing Byrnes in '10. In fact Manny may have caused Arizona to screw up its whole franchise: they're down to starting Gerardo Parra, Melvin Mora, Russell Branyan, and (at least for a time) Willie Bloomquist. The rotation actually has a little spark, particularly in Daniel Hudson, and it is possible closer J.J. Putz might not injure himself this year. But this team isn't going anywhere. Thanks, Manny.
Colorado: there is much to revel in here but the fundamentals are not among them. Carlos Gonzalez and Troy Tulowitzki are joys to behold (and they nearly collided in the 8th inning tonight – that could've been $237,750,000 down the tubes – Tulo sometimes forgets he's not alone out there), Ubaldo Jimenez is a staff ace if not necessarily the victory-machine he seemed to be last spring, and Dexter Fowler may yet be a star. But the rest of this club is pretty pedestrian and none of its cusp talent in the minors is yet ready to contribute.
Los Angeles: The Dodgers seem gradually to be back towards the '60s all-pitching and defense teams. The Loney/Uribe/Furcal/Blake infield might be the least menacing quartet in the game and if the Dodgers are satisfied with Tony Gwynn, Marcus Thames, Jay Gibbons and, for all I know, Sweet Lou Johnson in left, they are the only ones. Given that contention requires Don Mattingly to succeed in his first shot at managing anywhere and Matt Kemp doesn't freak out and Jonathan Broxton doesn't blow up and the McCourt Divorce doesn't get worse, I'm not optimistic. Three out of four, sure. All of them?
San Diego: In insulting the Dodger infield I forgot the Padres: Brad Hawpe, Jorge Cantu, Orlando Hudson, Jason Bartlett, and Chase Headley. Fortunately the outfield is just as weak and the Pods' main power threat might be Kyle Blanks, who has been on the disabled list for a year. Sadly, gifted skipper Buddy Black's shining moment was before the collapse last year. Now, A-Gone is; the rotation has vanished; and all that is left is a bullpen from which they must trade at least Heath Bell just in hopes of restocking the fridge. This could be a truly grim year.
San Francisco: The Giants would have to screw up – and badly – to not repeat in this division. Brian Sabean would have to do the exact opposite of what he did last year and trade away key components and I'm not betting on it. But I must say this: the Giants are rapidly becoming one of the most disliked teams in baseball – and not just because of the silly boastfulness of the ring ceremony and the rest. No World Championship team has ever been feted by fans who have been worse winners than have the 2010 Giants. I mean Red Sox Nation didn't gloat this much like this after '04. It's understandable that a franchise that saw that much frustration and even peril might continue to celebrate for years to come, but there is a reason they coined the phrase "act like you've been there before."
Overview: 1. San Francisco, 2. Los Angeles, 3. Colorado, 4. San Diego, 5. Arizona. I don't think this is much of a race. he only ones who are.
National League: I like the Marlins for the wild card, drawing (and being quartered by) the Giants. Braves over the Reds in the other, Braves over the Giants in the NLDS. Red Sox over the Braves in the World Series – yes, I'm sticking with that although the Tampa Bay prediction looks weak with the injury to Longoria having deranged their batting order (I like Sam Fuld but I do not think he is your 2011 AL MVP).

Love you, respect you…but could you have been any more begrudging in that acknowledgment of the Giants' victory? I ask you, please, tell me who in the organization is gloating. Among the fans, perhaps – but the events of last week have shown once again that there will always be @$$holes who try to use team pride as an excuse for bad behavior. And believe me, they ARE the exception. More than five months later, my husband still turns to me on occasion and said "Holy &^%$, we really won, didn't we?" and he's far from the only one.
Keith… REALLY enjoy the writing, but I'll echo the previous comment: The Giants fans are engaged in completely harmless joy. We damn well deserve it, too. I've been watching games over 40 years and have had to sit through freezing cold nights at Candlestick Park, the "joy" of watching that great double play combo of Sularz to Pettini to Murray, the World Series horror shows of 1989 and 2002, an Earthquake, three ALMOST moves (to Toronto, Tampa Bay and God knows where else), being the pet-whipping boy for the steroid era (while other fans conveniently forgot their own culprits…Manny, anyone?)… So, you bet your ass we're celebrating! This was a glorious team made up of individuals that represented San Francisco PERFECTLY. The catharsis lives! LONG LIVE THE CATHARSIS!
…and looking forward to your Current TV gig! Cheers!
As a Yankee fan who rooted for the Giants in the 2010 WS—can't hate on any NY-affiliated team, even if they've been long gone—I echo the previous statements. As for your overall AL and NL predictions, let me take the opportunity to predict an enormous bowl of crow in your future, sir. Bon appetit!
You couldn't have been more off with your giants statement Keith. I refuse to say anything more about it because the previous comments pretty much said it all.
I think you missed one aspect of the Rockies–Jorge De La Rosa and Jhyoulis (pronounced Yo lis) Chacin. Both are young and sometimes face control issues, but they are young Ubaldos. If they break out this year, that would give the Rocks a formidable 1-2-3. Also, Jonathan Herrera could very well be a star in the making.
The Phillies are and will prove you quite wrong.
The Giants are a class act and I think you missed the mark Keith on their celebrations, they are not over the top in anyway. I have been a fan for 54 years (as long as I can remember) and I finally get to say we are the champions and nobody, even a person I admire dearly (you KO) can tarnish it.
On what sample to you base your condemnation of Giants fans? As a die hard FKO, I'm shocked at the uncharacteristic sweeping generalization. We wait 52 years and you begrudge us a little giddiness?
Glad to see you acknowledged the pre-game speeches by Affeldt and Caroll, anyway.
Keith, I probably agree with 90% of the things you say, but you couldn't be more wrong about the Giants.
It may be that you've spent so much time analyzing the game that you've forgotten the sheer joy of playing the game.
Case in point was yesterday. Seeing Juan Uribe's tear-covered face when the Giants brought him out pre-game to hand him his Ring shows how much of a big friggin' deal it is to these players.
And to us fans.
I began watching Bay Area baseball when they put San Francisco Seals games on TV ('55 or '56), so I've seen lots of ups and downs and near misses. Watching every second of the celebrations over The Championship was pure joy, so your whining about it sounds like nothing more than the sour grapes from a fan of some other team and frankly, it is beneath you.
I can see the Cardinals disliking the Giants – they did have to stand on the first base line while listening to Train on Opening Day, after all. But seriously, who else dislikes the Giants for celebrating their first World Championship in San Francisco? Sure, "act like you've been there before," but the fact is, they haven't been there before. And that's why this is so special for the Giants organization and their fans. It would be a huge disservice to the people who waited their entire lives for this day to just say "Hey we won it all for the first time ever. Cool huh? OK we're done."
Is it the gold-lettered jerseys? Is it Brian Wilson everywhere on TV? We're not even 11 games into the season and they're already the most disliked team in baseball?
Really lame comment about the Giants, Keith. And while it's "useful" to make predictions after you've looked at the teams for two weeks, the whole idea of predictions is to make them BEFORE the season starts. So I had Dodgers-Giants-Diamondbacks-Rockies-Padres. And I shouldn't have trusted my gut about the D-Backs. The Padres look better than I expected. Still, I made my predictions in March.
Yeah, fourth place for the Padres sounds about right. Apparently, they aren't as bad as I feared they'd be.
As someone who's been waiting her whole life to see a Giants World Series victory (through earthquake, fire and just plain choking), this is, as Joe Biden might say, an f***ing big deal. For 50+ years, we've been the laughing stock of MLB, even more so than the Cubs — they at least are the "lovable losers", the Giants are, or were, just losers. For those of us who spent days freezing at Candlestick Park, sitting in minuscule crowds (the great Hank Greenwald once announced the attendance at a Braves-Giants game as 1734 by saying, "Seventeen thirty-four; that's not an attendance figure, that's my shirt size."), and who expected the team to leave us the way they left New York (I was at the "final game" in 1992 when the Giants were packing up to head for Tampa Bay, and I got out of my sickbed to be there), let us have our day to bask in the AT&T Park sun.
you are a yankee fan….you dont know pain
give us giant fans a break…we deserved a few days to celebrate
and we dont mug other team's players in our parking lot…how about sending a check to the stow fund? you have a big heart
and how can anyone dislike a team with the beard, lord romo, buster, huffmeister, pat (the machine/bat), timmy, cain and the farm boy
be nice ko
love ya
Some examples of this boorish behavior and the following hater would be nice, Keith. While i'll freely admit we have been boastful to the point of being jerks when it comes to our treatment of Dodger fans, I haven't seen any evidence of facts to bolster your blanket statement. To wit, I was in NY and was congratulated by many Yankee and Met fans, telling me how much they liked my team. Contrary to your assertions, the Giants are actually one of the most liked teams in baseball among those not cursed to live in southern California
Well, there have been incidents of violence on both sides — check out Keith's "Worst Persons" from today where he mentions them after excoriating a writer for using "blame the victim" on Bryan Stow. (Heard today that Stow may be brought out of his medically induced coma, which is a good sign though he's not out of the woods.) There have also been cases of Orange on Orange violence as well, including an incident where a fan was punched, hit his head on the ground and died. Overall, though, my personal experiences as a Giants fan, both at Candlestick and AT&T, have been positive.
there were fights at the stick…but that was long ago
there were the battery chucks…also long ago
a giants fan has never killed a dodger fan
there is no reason to make a moral equivalence
just watched the fok news clip…ko was wrong about the 03 incident…the dodgers fan shot and killed the giants fan
ko needs to get his research team back
Keith – miss your show. But, as a 45-year long suffering SF Giants fan, I gotta call you out. The above posters have said it. We can't act like we've been there before, because we haven't. Don't begrudge some celebrations after we've waited over 50 years and through countless dogmeat seasons for a WS winner. When we win the next time, we'll tone it down for ya a little. Remember, after 27 WS titles, it's easy to be a Yankee fan…
Love ya Keith, but quit reminding me that you're a Yankee fan. No Giants fan gives a warm bucket of piss what the East Coast media thinks of us!
Glad you said it Keith. The bandwagon is filled to capacity out here in the Bay Area and their hubris is boundless. Nice clean halloween colored hats and t's everywhere. "We did it"! It took the SF Midgets six decades to accomplish what their cross bay rivals did multiple times within their first few years of moving here. They've got one. Congrats! Next! Perhaps in 2071 they'll match that illustrious team from South Florida.
Mighty strong words from a fan of a team that hasn't even won their division in five years.
Really strong. The Vaqueros won the Serie Nacional two seasons ago.
Haven't really run into any bandwagon fans out here — sure, some of them were born or came of age during the Bonds era, but that's not their fault. For those of us who suffered through Johnny "Disaster" Lemaster, Atlee "Gas Can" Hammaker, who was never the same after getting lit up in the All-Star Game, and watching Dave Dravecky come back from cancer treatment only to have his shoulder broken during the post-game celebration after his win, this is the culmination of years of agony.
Doesn't seem like you were in a very good mood when you wrote this? lol Also, the fact you waited so long to preview this division says to me you really don't care much. Your observations are kinda all over the place. Rockies have taken 4 of five on the road and their only loses have been by one run in extra innings. You judge the Rox from watching one game! Ha! Keep watching, I think they'll surprise you. They have tremendous chemistry too. Of course I know you picked them last year to make the playoffs so maybe you're a little miffed they wronged you. 😉 (enjoy this blog very much, btw)
"…but there is a reason they coined the phrase "act like you've been there before." … the SF Giants had NEVER been there before. So the slogan doesn't apply.
ko, i hope you read your comments…and i hope you read the above article
because the giants are the classiest pro sports franchise
"Buster Olney's ESPN "insider" column noted, accurately, that Manny Ramirez's next-to-last round of PED use in Los Angeles may have altered the careers of then-Diamondbacks Manager Bob Melvin and General Manager Josh Byrnes. "
I'm sure hall of fame admitted spitball thrower, Gaylord Perry, has no problem with Manny.
Amazed at your vitriol toward the Giants and their fans, Keith. You've been so utterly dismissive of the West Coast in general and the Giants in particular for so long, it seems to have bent your nose entirely out of shape that they won the Series at long last. And you have nothing good to say about them this year except that they'll win the division by default? Best starting rotation in baseball, best closer, outstanding farm system providing great young talent. And at long last, bats. I expect your nose to be in corkscrews by next Fall.
May your kayak strike a ice berg and go down in McCovey Cove. Just don't show your face in SF for a while.
Now, now. He should absolutely come out to a game (odds are he'll have to visit the Current TV offices in SF at SOME point this year). And he can have a side of garlic fries while he's eating crow.
Keith, I used to watch your show religiously — I certainly agree with your politics — but you are way, way out of line on the SF Giants. Giants fans haven't celebrated a World Series title in 56 years — 52 since the team moved to San Francisco. What are we supposed to do? Sit on our hands because some fans of other teams (e.g. you) are so jealous, petty, snide, and small that they can't allow the fans of other teams express any joy at their team finally grabbing the elusive brass ring? Your hate-filled diatribe smacks of a spoiled brat Yankees fans who just can't stand it when another team wins the prize that they think is rightfully theirs. In 2009, I heard way too many spoiled Yankees fans whine that they had to wait NINE … LONG … YEARS … for another World Championship. Apparently you were one of those. Your team has won 27 World Championships and we've all had to watch parade after parade in NYC for them. If you are such a petty person that you can't allow for some exuberance on Giants' fanbase's part, then that's just too damn bad! For this piece of clueless, small-minded idiocy — worthy of comparisons to the most stupid rantings of Governor Sarah Palin — you richly deserve the title of WORST PERSON … IN THE WORLD!
Hey Kenny. I do know one thing about the year 2071: your beloved A's will have long since departed the Oakland Mausoleum for Vancouver or Las Vegas. I hope you have frequent flyer miles.
And phone booth park will be under water and we'll both be dead.
At least my "beloved" A's delivered to the Bay Area the first championships of any kind. I'll gladly take the beloved's history over your crew. The fact is they've won as many series as your bunch has played in.
Also they're not going to move. They'll be contracted. Cheers.
The ring ceremony being led by the leather cops on Harleys did embarrassed me for my beloved Giants. Guess I'm more sensitive to what their whole getup represented and how their sole purpose lately is protecting the elite and stepping on the necks of most of the Bay Area culture. Reminded me that we are praising a bunch of millionaires for what was actually a very very marginal title at every level of the season and playoffs, and not the fans' energy, positive and negative, that quantitatively helped that club squeeze on out. Thank you KO for confirming I wasn't the only one.
The "first" championship — wow. Ask Niner fans if they're bothered that the Raiders delivered the first Super Bowl championship to the Bay Area. It's very telling that all you have to brag about is your franchise's past and that even you see a bleak future for the A's. Cheers, indeed.
Your ability to pick and justify picks after watching just one game of only the third series of the season is impressive. Whether it is the lack of knowledge of the NL West or purely East coast bias, your predictions are very mainstream and unsurprising. Yes, it IS easy to make this assertion and judgement of your predictions without having to put my face with it, but this is one of the luxuries of being an actual fan of the National League West. Perhaps you should take a page from Dan Patrick and try to have a more objective view point, or at least one that resembles that without prejudice.
Keith, I think we all need to distinguish between some fans and the Giants organization, which have showed great class, and some fans who are just plain silly. Their response was best captured by Jon Weisman, the wonderful Dodger Thoughts blogger, who said that whenever the Dodgers did well, he didn't sit there and say, yeah, that will teach them in San Francisco. Some Giants fans, though, had to talk about LA. Now, I'm a Dodger fan who was glad the Giants finally won, not least because I married a long-suffering Giants fan. But I echo Weisman: if you need to criticize another team to justify your own success, you're the one with the problem.
I first want to say "thanks for all you do." I signed and social media-ed (not a word, i know) to represent whatever you wanted to do. Loved you at your posts at ESPN and MSNBC. That said, I think you were too harsh, even though I re-read and get what you're saying. Giants are kind of the blue-state team, and you care how we act. So far, a new gen. of Dodgers fans wants to act like East Coast jerks, not us. Imagine what a Cubs victory would look like? It's mostly pure joy here, though as a converted lifelong Cards fan (and a liberal, last August's Tea Party Display made me shift allegiances to my city of the last 5 yrs., as opposed to the best fan base West of NY (St. Louis, home of corkball). They are the TeaBirds to me now. And the Giants stand for blue-state America. You're right to lament the Giants' arrogance. I resented it in 2002, and it hurt them in 1987 and 1989 and 2002– they were premature celebrators. They weren't premature this time. We still can't believe we won, but are poised, like the '04 Red Sox, to do it once more in the next 5. The offense will get better and the pitching can't; kind of the opposite of the Phillies. I have 5 offensive Giants on my fantasy team.
Keith, I love your work and agree with most of what you say, but you are way off base about the Giants. Most hated team in baseball? C'mon…You are a Yankees fan, so I think what is on display here is what the head shrinkers call "projection." The Yankees are, and will likely always be, the most hated team in baseball. And yes, they may also at the same time be the most loved team as well – I don't think the two are necessarily mutually exclusive.
The night the Giants won it all, were there burning police cars and buses in downtown San Francisco? Nope. Just happy people. How many championship cities can say that? Compare that to what happens when the Lakers or Phillies win championships and the riot police get called in post haste.
The SFPD estimates that half a million people attended the victory parade after the series win. Care to guess how many arrests were made? Zero — That's right, zero.
Giants fans are simply quite happy, still a bit giddy, and as was mentioned in earlier comments, we still occasionally have to pinch ourselves to make sure it isn't just a dream. You always remember the first time, right? Well, regardless of what happens from here on in, last years run was very special to Bay Area fans, so please forgive us for holding onto that feeling through the first home series of this season — The 162-game marathon of 2011 and the business of trying to win the race to the 2011 pennant will soon eclipse the euphoria from last year, and things will return pretty much back to normal.
"Act like you've been there before", Keith? We hadn't and that's the whole point! As someone who has spent the last 5 1/2 months celebrating and re-living a once in a lifetime (so far!) experience, I take great exception to your remarks. Especially since I have friends who are Red Sox fans and let me assure you, they haven't stopped gloating yet over 2004.
Did someone in S.F. say something nasty to you at some point?
Your post leaves this liberal/California girl/Giants fan, with great disappointment and a broken heart. I'm not a big advocate for team/fan bashing outside from some good-natured Dodger rivalry–But it takes no courage to be a Yankees fan.
Watching an unprecedentedly human team struggle against odds through the post season got many of my friends who normally never watch sports into baseball. Whatever you want to say about the team, I don't think you have evidence for citing them as the subject of anyone's hatred outside of Texas and Los Angeles.
It wouldn't have hurt so much, but we all love to think of you as a beacon of open minded perspective. It only goes to show that even the most level thinkers become bitter complainers when put into the realm of sports commentary.
I feel the way you do, that only my team's victory is this important.
Opinions are like… well, we all know what they're like, but to begrudge Giants fans our due giddiness is just not fair! Every team has its jerks, Giants included, but dammit, Keith, we waited what, 52 years for this win? Sure, San Francisco is known for its, lets call it, eccentricities, so let us wallow in them for a year, OK? OK!
Oh, and one more thing…. GO GIANTS IN 2011! (and of course, Dodgers suck, so BEAT L.A.!)
Dear Keith,
How's this for a conspiracy? Bud takes over the Dodgers and forces them to return to Brooklyn. Those powder blue unis were horrid!
I'm no fan of the Dodger ownership since the O'Malleys' bailed, but Allan Selig was the worst owner ever in Milwaukee! Now he's taking over clubs?
Please remind us all…why is Bud the commissioner?
Keith: What's not to like about the Phillies rotation this season? On paper, they look like the best since the '71 Orioles.
Goodness, Keith! Do you not realize that these "worse winners" are the very people who have supported you with Countdown and all your amazing endeavors? Why must have you so much contempt for your base? I echo everyone else's sentiments above. Go Giants! And I hope everything goes well for you at Current TV.
Jealous much? This is what the joy of a championship feels like when a city truly bonds with it's team, when a victory is a triumph of character and will as opposed to the fruition of a financial transaction. You're not familiar with that feeling since you've been a shareholder in Steinbrenner Inc. for too long. Hope you get to experience that someday- it's awesome.

|Birth date
|October 10, 1995
|I knew I wanted to be a pro cyclist when:
Cycling has been in my family for a long time, so growing up in this environment made me realize I wanted to become a professional cyclist myself.
|Greatest racing memory:
|When I became U23 Belgian national champion. Another memory that isn't my own but stands out is when my friend Igor Decraene became world champion in Firenze in the individual time trial. He was a good friend of mine and he passed away the year after he won, so I will always remember this victory of his.
|Race I dream of winning:
|Tour of Flanders because my uncle, Edwig, won it twice and I would like to win it once in my career.
|If I wasn't a pro cyclist:
|I would probably own a nice bar.
After turning professional midway through 2017, Nathan Van Hooydonck has become an integral part of CCC Team's classics roster. His strength on the cobbles and his familiarity with his home training roads in Belgium have proven to be assets for the team. The Belgian National Road Race Championship in 2017 was a standout moment for Van Hooydonck, who finished fifth and proved he can be at the front of the race battling against the best in the bunch. He was also the Belgian national U23 road race champion in 2015 and time trial champion in 2016.

— Although vegetarianism, both in philosophy and in practice, has been around for millennia, in the modern Western world it was long considered a "fringe" movement. Less than a century ago, even the celebrated playwright and wit George Bernard Shaw, a vegetarian for the last 70 years of his long life, was considered a "crank" by some, though it mattered little to him. When asked in 1898 why he was a vegetarian, Shaw had a typically outspoken answer: "Oh, come! That boot is on the other leg. Why should you call me to account for eating decently? If I battened on the scorched corpses of animals, you might well ask me why I did that."
— In the early 21st century, vegetarianism has become decidedly mainstream. The number of vegetarians is difficult to determine, but a 2006 poll of 1,000 U.S. adults by the Vegetarian Resource Group found that 6.7 percent of respondents never ate meat, and 1.4 percent of those were vegan. A British survey that same year found that 12 percent of respondents called themselves vegetarian. Many of today's vegetarians came to the practice because they agree with sentiments like Shaw's about the immorality of eating animals who suffered to become someone's dinner. Others are concerned primarily about health; many studies have demonstrated the health benefits of vegetarian and vegan diets, particularly in the prevention and reversal of heart disease and in the lesser incidence of some forms of cancer.
— Other famous vegetarians have included St. Francis of Assisi, Leonardo da Vinci, Leo Tolstoy, Mohandas K. Gandhi, and, in the 21st century, Alice Walker, Jane Goodall, and Paul McCartney.
— Britannica's article on vegetarianism follows.
The theory or practice of living solely upon vegetables, fruits, grains, and nuts—with or without the addition of milk products and eggs—generally for ethical, ascetic, environmental, or nutritional reasons. All forms of flesh (meat, fowl, and seafood) are excluded from all vegetarian diets, but many vegetarians use milk and milk products; those in the West usually eat eggs also, but most vegetarians in India exclude them, as did those in the Mediterranean lands in Classical times. Vegetarians who exclude animal products altogether (and likewise avoid animal-derived products such as leather, silk, and wool) are known as vegans. Those who use milk products are sometimes called lacto-vegetarians, and those who use eggs as well are called lacto-ovo vegetarians. Among some agricultural peoples, flesh eating has been infrequent except among the privileged classes; such people have rather misleadingly been called vegetarians.
Ancient origins
Deliberate avoidance of flesh eating probably first appeared sporadically in ritual connections, either as a temporary purification or as qualification for a priestly function. Advocacy of a regular fleshless diet began about the middle of the 1st millennium BC in India and the eastern Mediterranean as part of the philosophical awakening of the time. In the Mediterranean, avoidance of flesh eating is first recorded as a teaching of the philosopher Pythagoras of Samos (c. 530 BC), who alleged the kinship of all animals as one basis for human benevolence toward other creatures. From Plato onward many pagan philosophers (e.g., Epicurus and Plutarch), especially the Neoplatonists, recommended a fleshless diet; the idea carried with it condemnation of bloody sacrifices in worship and was often associated with belief in the reincarnation of souls—and, more generally, with a search for principles of cosmic harmony in accord with which human beings could live. In India, followers of Buddhism and Jainism refused on ethical and ascetic grounds to kill animals for food. Human beings, they believed, should not inflict harm on any sentient creature. This principle was soon taken up in Brahmanism and, later, Hinduism and was applied especially to the cow. As in Mediterranean thought, the idea carried with it condemnation of bloody sacrifices and was often associated with principles of cosmic harmony.
In later centuries the history of vegetarianism in the Indic and Mediterranean regions diverged significantly. In India itself, though Buddhism gradually declined, the ideal of harmlessness (ahimsa), with its corollary of a fleshless diet, spread steadily in the 1st millennium AD until many of the upper castes, and even some of the lower, had adopted it. Beyond India it was carried, with Buddhism, northward and eastward as far as China and Japan. In some countries, fish were included in an otherwise fleshless diet.
West of the Indus, the great monotheistic traditions were less favourable to vegetarianism. The Hebrew Bible, however, records the belief that in paradise the earliest human beings had not eaten flesh. Ascetic Jewish groups and some early Christian leaders disapproved of flesh eating as gluttonous, cruel, and expensive. Some Christian monastic orders ruled out flesh eating, and its avoidance has been a penance even for laypersons. Many Muslims have been hostile to vegetarianism, yet some Muslim Sufi mystics recommended a meatless diet for spiritual seekers.
The 17th through the 19th centuries
The 17th and 18th centuries in Europe were characterized by a greater interest in humanitarianism and the idea of moral progress, and sensitivity to animal suffering was accordingly revived. Certain Protestant groups came to adopt a fleshless diet as part of the goal of leading a perfectly sinless life. Persons of diverse philosophical views advocated vegetarianism—for example, Voltaire praised, and Percy Bysshe Shelley and Henry David Thoreau practiced, the diet. In the late 18th century the utilitarian philosopher Jeremy Bentham asserted that the suffering of animals, like the suffering of humans, was worthy of moral consideration, and he regarded cruelty to animals as analogous to racism.
Vegetarians of the early 19th century usually condemned the use of alcohol as well as flesh and appealed as much to nutritional advantages as to ethical sensibilities. As before, vegetarianism tended to be combined with other efforts toward a humane and cosmically harmonious way of life. Although the vegetarian movement as a whole was always carried forward by ethically inclined individuals, special institutions grew up to express vegetarian concerns as such. The first vegetarian society was formed in England in 1847 by the Bible Christian sect, and the International Vegetarian Union was founded tentatively in 1889 and more enduringly in 1908.
Modern developments
By the early 20th century vegetarianism in the West was contributing substantially to the drive to vary and lighten the nonvegetarian diet. In some places a fleshless diet was regarded as a regimen for specific disorders. Elsewhere, notably in Germany, it was considered as one element in a wider conception of vegetarianism, which involved a comprehensive reform of life habits in the direction of simplicity and healthfulness.
In the second half of the 20th century, the work of the Australian ethical philosopher Peter Singer inspired a revival of philosophical interest in the practice of vegetarianism and the larger topic of animal rights. Singer offered utilitarian arguments to support his contention that modern methods of raising and slaughtering animals for human food are morally unjustified; his arguments also applied to other traditional ways in which humans use animals, including as experimental subjects in medical research and as sources of entertainment. Singer's work provoked much vexed discussion of the question of whether the traditional treatment of animals is justified by any "morally relevant" differences between animals and humans.
Meanwhile, other debates centred on the question of whether a fleshless diet, and specifically a vegan one, provides all the nutrients necessary for human health. In the West, for example, it was long a common belief that humans cannot obtain enough protein from a diet based solely on plant foods. However, nutritional studies conducted from the 1970s cast doubt on this claim, and it is seldom advanced today. A more recent issue is whether a vegan diet can provide enough vitamin B12, which humans need in tiny amounts (1 to 3 micrograms per day) to produce red blood cells and to maintain proper nerve functioning. Popular vegan sources of B12 include nutritional yeast, certain fortified foods made without animal products (such as cereals and soy milk), and vitamin supplements.
By the early 21st century vegetarian restaurants were commonplace in many Western countries, and large industries were devoted to producing special vegetarian and vegan foods (some of which were designed to simulate various kinds of flesh and dairy products in form and flavour). Today many vegetarian societies and animal rights groups publish vegetarian recipes and other information on what they consider to be the health and environmental benefits and the moral virtues of a fleshless diet.

The Food Revolution: How Your Diet Can Help Save Your Life and Our World
John Robbins
John Robbins is a vegan activist and one-time heir to the Baskin-Robbins ice cream fortune who long ago, on principle, renounced his connection with that industry. He has created in The Food Revolution a comprehensive resource on what's wrong with the agricultural industry and with modern food habits around the world and the harm they do to people, animals, and the planet. As in his previous book Diet for a New America, he employs a holistic, emotionally appealing outlook that encompasses not just facts and figures (there are 42 pages of footnotes) but also personal, often very moving stories that demonstrate his belief in the possibility of redemption for individuals and human society in general.
Robbins starts out with the personal—human health—gathering copious medical references to show how a healthy plant-based (vegan or near-vegan) diet can heal and prevent heart disease and cancer. He explains how, on the contrary, the standard American, or Western, diet contributes to the ever-increasing incidence of obesity and chronic disease. In the next section he moves on to the welfare of farm animals (and of the workers in the farming industry), who lead miserable lives on factory farms in order to supply the food for the standard American diet. The last two parts of the book treat the damage done to human health and the environment by large-scale agriculture and the companies that run it.
Placed against the background of relentless revelations of unhealthy and destructive food practices, the selected quotations Robbins sprinkles throughout the text are especially startling. For example, in the midst of a discussion of the known and potential dangers of bioengineered foods appears a 1999 quotation from an executive at Monsanto, a multinational agricultural conglomerate: "Monsanto should not have to vouchsafe [sic] the safety of biotech food. Our interest is in selling as much of it as possible. Assuring its safety is the FDA's job." This quotation is paired with one from an FDA statement of policy: "Ultimately, it is the food producer who is responsible for assuring safety."
Well-referenced and wide-ranging, this hard-hitting book is a lot to take in. The amount of environmental depredation necessary to keep our current system going—and the degree to which we are all invested in it—makes change seem overwhelming. But as he implies in the subtitle, How Your Diet Can Help Save Your Life and Our World, Robbins believes that change is possible, that it is indeed taking form, and that anyone can be a part of it.

READ about Piers Morgan's long career in journalism here.
On the heels of another revelation of lewd behavior by New York City mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner, tonight "Piers Morgan Live" welcomes a collection of political insiders and media experts tasked with placing the latest developments into context.
Filling in for Piers Morgan, guest host Chris Cuomo asks crisis expert Lanny Davis for his assessment of Weiner's hastily assembled press conference:
"Without Huma being next to him, it'd be a much different conversation. This is a huge, huge, meaningful presence by Huma," says the special counsel to former President Bill Clinton and longtime friend of Weiner's wife, Huma Abedin. "There will be voters that might be turned off by this and I'm sure there are. And, they have a right to be. But, there are also people that will find sympathy in the two of them fighting through this."
Kevin Madden meanwhile, an Executive Vice President of a public affairs firm, noted that the 48-year-old Democrats latest indiscretion has shifted the focus from political to personal:
"This is no longer a question about a campaign that's really about ideas and issues that they care about," he says. "Right now, this is a campaign that's in crisis and it's a campaign that is about Anthony Weiner and his past. And I think that is his biggest challenge right now as a candidate."
Joining Cuomo in studio, Margaret Hoover echoed Davis early sentiments, placing an extreme amount of value on the presence of Weiner's seemingly supportive spouse:
"Everybody knows that Anthony Weiner's sex scandal has not hurt him up till now. In fact, it may have propelled him into one of the top two seats," says the political commentator and media personality. "His sex scandal actually has helped him because everybody knows who he is. This notoriety may not hurt him and that's what we have to see. That's why Lanny's exactly right. We don't know how this is going to play out. And, Huma being there today probably helped save the campaign."
Watch the clip for more of Cuomo's discussion with his trio of analysts and experts, and tune in for the full edition of "Piers Morgan Live" at 9.
