But the Climate Action Council plan anticipates that 1 million to 2 million of the state’s 6.1 million buildings will use the technology by 2030 – just eight years from now. In Central New York, officials are planning for a massive housing boom to accommodate thousands of workers expected to build and staff new chip fabs for Micron Technology. The transition to new household heating technology could be especially significant. Some of the policies approved today in the Climate Action Council’s “final scoping plan’' require further action before they can be enforced. The new regulations on heating systems, for example, will require changes to the state building code. – A state commission today approved plans to phase out fossil fuel-burning furnaces beginning as soon as 2025 as part of New York’s aggressive program to address climate change.
After this season, Lincecum was never the same as his career was thrown off-course. However, he came back and was great again in 2011 as he posted a 2.74 ERA with 220 strikeouts. Once again, he led the MLB in strikeouts with 261 on his way to yet another Cy Young award. He went into his time with the Giants with some of the highest expectations any player of the franchise has gotten, especially since Barry Bonds.
How will next 5 years treat these borderline baseball legacies?
On July 3, Lincecum was announced as the NL Pitcher of the Month for June. He and fellow Giants starter Matt Cain were selected to the NL All-Star Team. Lincecum started the game for the NL, allowing two runs in two innings pitched in the NL's eventual 4–3 loss. On May 4, Lincecum struck out twelve New York Mets, becoming the Giants franchise record holder for most games pitched with 10 or more strikeouts.
Ron Wotus, the Giants’ longtime bench coach, talked about the “free spirit” who loved to roam the San Francisco clubhouse, headphones on, smiling and singing. He said Lincecum could find motivation in falling down and out in San Francisco, then trying to get up with the Angels. “At some level, we’re all fans,” Giants General Manager Bobby Evans said. There’s something special about him; the impact he had here, the impact he had on all of us — in the clubhouse, in the organization, in the fan base.
The Giants Are Reportedly Still Pursuing A Star
Lincecum pitched into the ninth inning for the first time on August 21 against the Cubs, holding a 1–0 lead. He had allowed just two hits and one walk through the first eight, while throwing only 88 pitches. Cubs shortstop Ryan Theriot said after the game, "He's got electric stuff. The best stuff I've seen all year." Lincecum earned his first major league win five days later against the Rockies.
Lincecum reported to extended spring training last week to continue his throwing program, and he's now ready to get back in game action there. Barring any setbacks, the veteran right-hander should be cleared to head out on a minor-league rehab assignment after getting a few games under his belt at extended spring training. During the 2012 offseason, Lincecum used a conditioning program to improve his coordination. His performance in spring training in 2013 was lackluster, as he posted a 10.57 ERA. Cain and Madison Bumgarner were both ahead of him in the rotation to start the season. On July 13, Lincecum no-hit the Padres 9–0 at Petco Park, the first no-hitter ever pitched in that stadium and the first of his career.

The house also has a chef’s kitchen with granite and glass countertops, a huge master suite, limestone flooring and sweeping mountain views. In all, there are more than 11,000 square feet, four bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms. The scoping plan approved today will likely continue to make news. The meeting of the Climate Action Council was still going on as this report was published. “In my view, today we are making history,’’ said Basil Seggos, commissioner of the Department of Environmental Conservation and co-chair of the council. Approval of the plan is just the beginning of transforming elements of daily life that affect climate change, members of the council said.
For the third year in a row, Lincecum won the NL strikeout title; he also set a record for most strikeouts by an MLB pitcher in his first four seasons. Lincecum finished the 2010 regular season with a 16–10 record, a 3.43 ERA and 231 strikeouts. On July 1, in a seven-inning performance against the Arizona Diamondbacks, he recorded 12 strikeouts and allowed just three hits in a 13–0 victory.
The win ended the Giants' 56-year drought between World Series championships and also gave San Francisco its first baseball world championship. Through 20 starts in 2009, Lincecum had amassed an 11–3 record with a 2.30 ERA, 183 strikeouts, four complete games, and two shutouts. Lincecum also had a scoreless inning streak of 29 innings, the third-longest streak since the Giants moved to San Francisco from New York City prior to the 1958 season. On July 27, in a 4–2 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates at AT&T Park, Lincecum pitched a complete game and struck out a career-high 15 batters, the second most in San Francisco history .
Nearly 18% of homes in Onondaga County currently are heated with electricity, but it’s traditional resistance heating. That older technology is much less efficient than heat pumps. Resistance heating remains a backup option to supplement air-source heat pumps in extremely cold weather, according to the state plan. In Onondaga County, more than 80% of households heat with natural gas, propane or fuel oil. Statewide, the number is about 85%, according to the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority. Very few residences are heated now with high-efficiency heat pumps.
This helped him to generate high velocity despite his slight build. The power behind the throws was generated not just from the arm, but also from the long stride and the hip muscles. Sportswriters Bob Nightengale and Robert Falkoff both thought that Lincecum was a similar pitcher to Roy Oswalt. By the end of the year, he had 1,510 strikeouts, the third-highest total by a pitcher over his first seven years (behind Tom Seaver's 1,655 and Bert Blyleven's 1,546).
Multiple no-hitters thrown, multiple Cy Young Awards won, multiple All-Star selections . In 2006, Lincecum was drafted tenth overall by the San Francisco Giants, becoming the first player from the University of Washington to be taken in the first round. His $2.025 million signing bonus was, at the time, the most the organization had ever paid to any amateur player.
I saw several of his starts in person and the last one was typical. Timmy would get behind in the counts and end up surrendering hits when he had to get one over the plate. Will begin pitching in extended spring training games over the weekend, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
