Android N
Android "Nougat" (codenamed Android N during development) is the seventh major version and 14th original version of the Android operating system. First released as an alpha test version on March 9, 2016, it was officially released on August 22, 2016, with Nexus devices being the first to receive the update. The LG V20 was the first smartphone released with Nougat. Nougat introduces notable changes to the operating system and its development platform, including the ability to display multiple apps on-screen at once in a split-screen view, support for inline replies to notifications, and an expanded "Doze" power-saving mode that restricts device functionality once the screen has been off for a period of time. Additionally, the platform switched to an OpenJDK-based Java environment and received support for the Vulkan graphics rendering API, and "seamless" system updates on supported devices. Nougat received positive reviews. The new app notification format received particular praise, while the multitasking interface was seen as a positive change, but reviewers experienced incompatible apps. Critics had mixed experiences with the Doze power-saving mode, but faster app installs and "tweaks" to the user interface were also reviewed positively. As of September 2019, 6.78% of Android devices use Android 7.1 (API 25), but 9.18% use the unsupported Android 7.0 (API 24) for a total of 15.96% of Android users. Latest release:	7.1.2 (N2G48H)[2] / August 5, 2019; 2 months ago Support status: 7.0, unsupported. 7.1, supported

I'm not going to try to argue that Avila's signings have been good. But to be fair he really only had two offseasons where free agent signings would have made sense, and the second one they were already over the tax line. But yes, pelfrey and lowe and zimmermann and Upton didn't work out. But at least he got out of the upton deal thanks to the angels incompetence. But AA did successfully sign and flip Martin and Fiers during the tear down years.
I forgot about Martin and Fiers....I liked those signings from the beginning and they worked out well for AA and the Tigers. But a bunch of his early FA signings performed badly and hurt the Tigers on the field in 2016 and 2017. Upton was decent enough.
Did DD have good FA signings? Pudge and Maggs worked out. Victor's first contract worked. His second was awful. Joe Nathan was bad. Jose valverde was bad. Prince was a very bad contract but he got out of it (after eating money to do so but whatever). Johnny Damon? Sean Casey for a second year? I'm sure I'm forgetting someone obvious. He did a lot of extending. Not sure if that counts in this discussion or not. But extension contracts to Robertson and Willis were nonsensical and Cabrera's might be one of the worst in MLB history.
Yeah, I wasn't talking about extensions.....as you mentioned Pudge and Maggs, but there was also Kenny Rogers, Todd Jones (who was effective for several years), Damon was fine -- he was a 2.4 WAR player for $8M for one year....Valverde was very effective for two years, Al Alburquergue, Benoit, Hunter was pretty decent for two years, Rajai Davis, Blaine Hardy, and of course JD Martinez (which AA also gets big credit for). Fielder was massively expensive due to the VMart injury in the spring, but also very productive, and they flipped him for Kinsler which worked out well.
DD's whiffs were Brad Penny (to be fair, it was only a $3M contract for 1 year for a 5th starter), relievers like Percival, Nathan, and Gorzellanny....relievers are a pretty big crap-shoot; Nathan and Gorzy were pitched a fair amount and lost some games, those two and Penny are the DD Free Agent acquisitions that performed badly. All the rest of his FA acquisitions performed well enough on the field.
Nobody seems to know what the **** happened with Willis' extension...made no sense....if that's DD's fault then that's a super-bad one....but not a FA signing.
The extensions were a mixed bag....some hits and misses....how Mike I's personal judgment weighed on those, not sure....but as for getting FA talent, DD did a very good job.
I know it's only natural to compare past and current GMs, and I know the present state of the team makes it easy to blame Avila (and the past state makes it easy to praise DD). I just don't think it's as good/bad as it is being made out to be.
I forgot about Fiers and Martin, but otherwise I think my assessment is correct regarding FA acquisitions and their on-the-field performance.
Oh, and Avila sucks. Not the Catcher...he was fine.

Dombrowksi whiffed on Vina, Percival, Brandon Lyon, Johnny Damon, Jose Mesa, Urbina(in his defense turned it into Polanco but still signing him to begin with was a whiff) Joe Nathan, Joba Chamberlain and Brad Penny. Most of those may have only been 1 or 2 year contracts but aside from Zimm all of Avila's failures were only on short term deals as well.
Huh? How did he "whiff" on Lyon and Chamberlain? Lyon was very effective for his one year here, and Joba did decently enough for his time here as well.
Damon was fine too....2.4 War for one year is fine....
If your standards are that high then pretty much everybody acquired by AA has been a whiff.
Careful, he reads this thread. He'll hire Lloyd just to spite you

I mentioned why I said Lyon was a whiff(or atleast I originally thought) in a later post. He was brought into be a shut down set up man and possible closer. He did not do that very well, his overall line looks decent but he didn't excel in the role he was brought into to do. His shutdown to meltdown ratio was not very good, and his WPA was barely above 0, so he basically about the same as he is exceeded in high pressure situations. That's not what they signed him for.
I also did soften up my stance and say he wasn't a total whiff cause when I said that I confused his contract with somebody else. I was thinking they signed him to a multi year deal for alot more money but after going back to check after my post I saw that wasn't the case so considering what they paid for him he wasn't a whiff. But with that said he didn't exactly do what they wanted either.
OK, thanks for the clarification....frankly, relievers are a tad volatile.....even when healthy their performances tend to vary quite a bit from year to year.

Some free agents are signed with the idea that they are going to be fringe players or maybe they will catch fire or provide some sort of leadership for the younger players. You need these kind of guys, and not everyone is going to be a stud. What did you expect from Jody Mercer when he was signed? I think he provided exactly what everyone thought he was going to provide. He wasn't going to make the all star team, he wasn't going to be a league leader, he wasn't going to single handedly take the team to the playoffs. He provided professionalism and leadership, something that the team needed. Not everyone is going to play like Mike Trout.
I can't stand Avila, but most of the guys he has signed has been about what was expected of them. You aren't going to sign Ivan Nova and get a top 10 pitcher. You are getting a guy who will give you innings and hopefully keep you in the game. The fact that he got injured is disappointing, but 1/3 of the league's pitchers get hurt every year.
Charles Liston 1,497
That line about "he gives you a lot of innings" as justification for signing a pitcher who isn't very good is a pretty old one, the first time I heard it used was for Jack Billingham or Walt Terrell.. It is code for "couldn't break a pane of glass" or "doesn't throw hard enough to hurt himself". But what else are you going to do? If there was anyone better out there, you'd have done something different. I don't see Avila as being any worse than average at sorting through that pile of rejects.

Zimm, Pelfrey and Lowe were signed to fill specific needs, and they all completely blew up...Zimm had signs of decline, Lowe was wildly inconsistent, and Pelfrey already sucked....given what they needed from those 3 to compete, they were all reaches that backfired on Avila.
Hes done kinda decently in the last couple of years with what hes had to work with...but in the 1st 2 off seasons he had a large budget and blew it.

Billingham and Terrell (especially the first time around) actually provided pretty good innings. Guys like Zimmermann and Pelfrey are so bad that they aren't really better than throwing some fringe prospect out there.
Pelfrey was predictably bad. Zimm at least had a track record of success; Terrell as well, and Terrell was fine for us. EDIT: for the pennies they paid for him (less than $3m total over 7 years for 7.7 WAR, 1400 IP and a 4.3 ERA, 3 of 7 years at or better than league average ERA), he was an ideal innings eater.
Also. FWIW, Billingham had two very decent years here..110 ERA+ despite very low K totals, even for that period.
"Gives you a lot of innings": sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't.

That's pretty close.
Maybe it's more like - "there aren't enough good pitchers out there to dedicate scarce resources necessary to avoid innings eaters in the 4 and 5 slots, even for a winning team" As bad as Pelfrey and Penny and the ilk were, you have to take some chances on a risky/sketchy veteran, at least for the back slot, or you are going to have to throw a youngster out there when he's not ready and maybe wreck his development, or overspend on a veteran....when even qualified veteran pitchers are kinda risky bets anyway.
Exactly. There aren't enough good players, so you have to sort through the junk. You win some, and you lose some.
Sounds likes she has a great personality.
Just now, Mr. Bigglesworth said:
Doesn't sweat much, for a big girl.
One of the scouts, or maybe it was Chadd, had a hard on for Pelfrey dating back to the draft. I know Avila offers the contracts, but there were others pushing hard for Pelfrey. And yes, I posted hard on and pushing hard in the same post.

How many candidates has Al Avila interviewed thus far? Who's got the advantage to become the next Tigers manager? I'm going to be very disappointed if Avila hires AJ Hinch or Alex Cora.
I read Al will be interviewing Lombard and that's the only one I've heard so far

Tony Lossano, etc.: Graffiti Busters: Blasted!
Yesterday, Mayor Rahm Emanual said, "we will not preside over a city in which garbage is not picked up, graffiti is not removed" - However, graffiti seems to have already gotten worst in Chicago. I don't recall it being this bad under Mayor Daley.
A few months back, I wrote about this epidemic in Tag You're It! Graffiti Off The Blue Line!
"Dispatch Work Crew Graffiti - Blasted"
Um, I saw no change on the address that I reported on.
However, I did see as some very talented people paint a cool mural on one of the buildings. (Who's gonna to interfere with them?) It looks as if it is a tribute towards what has happened to their neighborhood. Hopefully they will not be fined like a woman was, when she artistically covered up graffiti on her own property in Warrenville.
Look at what has become of Detroit. There were a list of things that went wrong, but for the most part, their needs were ignored. If only people paid attention to the early warning signs, perhaps they could have saved that city from their current doomed situation. I fear that Chicago could also be on that same long road to disaster.
One of my points is to try to defuse the current negative image of Chicago. With tourists and business people riding the O'Hare line to downtown, from California to Damen, the view from the CTA train looks worst from the back of those buildings than the looked from the front. With a little attention to the three stops that the blue line is above ground, it might help not scare away people from coming back to Chicago.
No, not one thing will fix everything, but fixing one thing can help make a big difference to the long-term problem.
Maybe the old Graffiti Busters can take a lesson from the CTA, who already does a darn good job keeping their trains and buses clean, even though that they are a pretty big target by the taggers.
What is the CTA's solution to keeping vandals off of their trains and buses? They are switching them over to the new Ventra card!

Electric Cars' Appeal Waning In Japan After Nuclear Disaster?
Antony Ingram March 28, 2012 Comment Now!
March 11, 2011 changed Japan forever. Just before 3pm local time, a magnitude 9 earthquake created a Tsunami that devastated a large region of the Eastern coast of Japan, killing thousands.
It also triggered meltdowns in the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, causing explosions in three reactors, with the surrounding area now likely to be contaminated for decades.
Such instances are rare, but the disaster turned the tide of opinion against nuclear power in Japan. It may also have shifted customers' opinions of electric cars, reports Detroit News.
As zero local emissions vehicles, electric cars are immediately cleaner than internal combustion vehicles. However, they typically rely on power stations to generate the electricity they use. The cleanliness of this varies depending on how the power is being generated.
Renewable sources like solar, wind and hydro are ideal, and many would say idealistic. Coal, gas and oil, as fossil fuels, aren't so good. Nuclear is a compromize that many accept, with the generation being essentially clean, but with dubious longer-term issues.
In the event of a catastrophe rendering some of your country uninhabitable, even the short-term benefits of nuclear power become moot. The Japanese government had intended to increase nuclear power from a third of Japan's energy mix, to a half.
The image of electric cars has become a further casualty of the disaster. With Japan currently relying mostly on fossil fuels for electricity generation, their green image has suffered. Now that nuclear also has a tainted image, even EVs run on nuclear-generated electricity have an unfortunate association in the country.
Ryuichi Kino, an author who has written books on nuclear power and hybrid technology, told Detroit News that if nuclear remains a key power source, "then the green image of the electric car will get bashed to bits, maybe to the extent it will be irreparable."
Sales of electric cars have still been relatively impressive in Japan. Nissan has sold 12,000 Leafs in the country since its launch in late 2010. Compare that with the 10,000 sold in the U.S. since launch, despite a population over twice that of Japan.
That's clearly illustrative of Japan's suitability to support an electric car network, but while the country finds its feet in the years following the Tōhoku earthquake and Fukushima disasters, the rise of electric cars may be a little slower than manufacturers were hoping.

Could electricity be the currency of parking buildings in the future?
