Justin Bieber has found himself in the middle of a cruel hoax.
On Thursday, someone posted a Tweet from the official Entertainment Tonight Twitter account that the pop star had been diagnosed with cancer. The tweet has since been removed.
Then, someone posing as the Biebs tweeted "Some of my AWESOME supporters are shaving their heads to help get me through this. I love my fans. #BaldForBieber."
Then fans began Tweeting pictures of themselves after shaving their heads holding up signs saying #BaldForBeiber, which is a lovely gesture, but unfortunately appears to be a hoax.
#BaldForBieber Bald teenage girls are crying in their bathrooms. 4chan photoshopped the image, stupid beliebers. twitter.com/SamInsanity/st…

Justin's bodyguard Kenny Hamilton then answered the burning question, does Justin have cancer?
@keithschwartz48 no
— Kenny Hamilton (@KennyHamilton) October 26, 2012
So while it was a very nice gesture for Beliebers to shave their head for Justin, it appears they now are sporting a new do for cancer victims everywhere and not Justin Bieber.

I don't know what it is about blood. We claim it's a bad thing yet we can't stop bleeding. We let others wound us over and over again until gash is a foot deep into our soul. Sometimes we wound others and get wounded in the process.
We clutch tightly to barbed wires of emotional attachments and walk on the burning coals of expectations. And by the end of it when we fall on the ground profusely gushing and wounded to our core, we make promises to ourselves; never again. But as we all know, promises are made to be broken.
The wound is by now infected because you didn't take care of it well. You didn't suture it on time and you didn't put the bandage when you should have. You just let it be; as a reminder of all the things you loved that ruined you.
We fall back onto bed made of thorns of disappointment, exhausted. And bleed some more. We bleed until we can't. We ache until every muscle in our body refuses to ache anymore. We suffer until pain itself screams in pain. Until the infection has spread onto every small vein and down to our very bones. Until we find ourselves disintegrating- crumbling, decaying, withering.
How else could we have become anew,
If we had not first become ashes?

Gosewisch hoping for longer look in 2014
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- After finally getting his first taste of the big leagues late last year, following parts of nine seasons in the Minors, D-backs catcher Tuffy Gosewisch has a prime opportunity to knock out another first this spring: making an Opening Day roster.
Hoping to back up Miguel Montero, Gosewisch is competing alongside veteran Henry Blanco in D-backs camp.
"This is by far the best shot I've ever had," Gosewisch said. "I've never had an opportunity like this in the spring, so I'm working as hard as I can all the time. If I'm on the field, I'm trying to get better. If I'm off the field, I'm still trying to improve. I'm never the kind of person who lets up."
Gosewisch appeared in 14 games for the D-backs last season and he believes that experience will take much of the pressure off while he battles for a roster spot.
"You're able to relax a little bit more when you know you can succeed," Gosewisch said. "Obviously you still have to put all your work in and do everything you can to make the team, but having the knowledge that you can hang with these guys is very reassuring."
Although he knows what's at stake this spring, Gosewisch insists he won't concern himself with what his competition does. Instead, he'll only focus on what he can control.
"I don't really try to think about turning anybody's head," Gosewisch said. "Just trying to play my game like I have in the past. The rest will take care of itself."

D-backs break out pink gear in Mother's Day tribute
PHOENIX -- In celebration of Mother's Day on Sunday, D-backs players and coaches donned an array of pink apparel stamped with the MLB breast cancer awareness logo to show their support.
Brandon McCarthy and A.J. Pollock each wore pink cleats and appeared to gain some good fortune from the gesture, as both players delivered a strong performance despite the D-backs falling in 10 innings, 4-2. McCarthy tossed eight shutout innings and struck out four while Pollock smacked a two-out RBI single in the first inning.
Martin Prado was only the D-backs player to use a pink bat Sunday, swinging with the lumber for his first plate appearance of the game before switching back to his usual equipment.
Others, like Didi Gregorius, wore pink wristbands, necklaces and batting gloves to do their part. Gregorius went 2-for-5 on Sunday with a pair of extra-base hits, an afternoon he was proud of given how much his mother means to him.
"I owe everything to her," Gregorius said. "She has helped me so much."

Walter Mignolo
William Hane Wannamaker Distinguished Professor of Romance Studies
Mignolo's research and teaching have been devoted, in the past 30 years, to understanding and unraveling the historical foundation of the modern/colonial world system and imaginary since 1500. In his research, modern/colonial world system and imaginary is tantamount with the historical foundation of Western Civilization and its expansion around the globe. His research stands on four basic premises: a) the there is no world-system before 1500 and the integration of America in the Western Christian (European) imaginary; b) that the world-system generated the idea of "newness" (the New World) and of modernity and c) that there is no modernity without coloniality—coloniality is constitutive no derivative of modernity; d) the modern/colonial imaginary was mounted and maintained on the invention of the Human and Humanity that provided the point of reference for the invention of racism and sexism together with the invention of nature.
Briefly stated, Mignolo's research has been and continues to be devoted to exposing modernity/coloniality as a machine that generates and maintains un-justices and to exploring decolonial ways of delinking from the modernity/coloniality. Because the political dimension of his work, in the past fifteenth years Mignolo's energy has been increasingly devoted to the public sphere working with artists, curators, and with journalists, writing op-eds and giving frequent interviews in English and Spanish, co-organizing and co-teaching Summer Schools in Middelburg, Bremen, and at UNC-Duke. He is also frequently delivering workshops for faculty and graduate students in South and Central America, Asia, and Europe.
Mignolo was awarded the Katherine Singer Kovaks prize (MLA) for The darker side of the renaissance: literacy, territoriality and colonization (1996) and the Frantz Fanon Prize by the Caribbean Philosophical Association for The Idea of Latin America (2006). His work has been translated into German, Italian, French, Swedish, Rumanian, Spanish, Portuguese, Mandarin, and Korean. He is an Honorary Research Associate for CISA (Center for Indian Studies in South Africa), Wits University at Johannesburg. Recently, he has joined the Dialogue of Civilizations (DOC) Program Council as a senior adviser and was distinguished with an Honoris Causa degree in the Humanities (Filosofia y Letras) by the Universidad de Buenos Aires, Argentina.

PITTSBURGH--Carnegie Mellon University international engineering and environmental policy expert M. Granger Morgan is challenging U.S. federal and state officials to take the lead in eliminating dangerous carbon dioxide emissions that fuel global warming.
In today's Science magazine, Morgan argues that legislators should impose regulations that will prevent power companies from rushing to build large numbers of long-lived conventional coal plants before regulations on carbon dioxide emissions come into effect. Building such plants today, without making provisions for future control of carbon dioxide emissions, could make such future regulations far more expensive than they need to be, according to Morgan, head of Carnegie Mellon's Department of Engineering and Public Policy.
The U.S. electricity industry plans to build 154 new plants in the next 24 years. Fifty of those plants are slated for construction in the next five years, according to data compiled by the Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory.
"We're talking about technology such as amine scrubbers, integrated gasification combined- cycles or oxyfuel plants that can capture and sequester CO2 in deep geological formations," Morgan said.
Morgan said that most utility experts anticipate that CO2 emission constraints will be imposed within the next 10 years. "So imposing a law that would provide incentives to encourage builders of new coal plants could begin to help us intensify efforts to combat global warming," he said.
In a recent report to the Pew Center For Climate Change, Morgan and Carnegie Mellon colleagues Jay Apt and Lester Lave showed that the nation needs to cut carbon dioxide emissions from electricity generation by more than 80 percent during the next 50 years to slow the impact of global warming.
"This could be done at an overall long-term cost increase in price of electricity of only about 20 percent -- a small price to pay to save arctic

Awesome! I haven't seen that one...I'm guessing you are, but are you familiar with Marta's work?

Feel free to post whatever you want! Here's is her FAQ page http://www.artdungeon.net/faq
(It has something about archiving...but I'm not quite sure what that is)
Sadly I have no blog...I find that my rambles are best left to myself ;)) My accounts are all for reading other people's blogs.
But feel free to credit however/not at all! :) I've loved Marta's work for years, and I'm just sad she hasn't updated recently! :)

A soldier is only human. No matter how cunning a mind or how resolute the courage, he can become tired. He can become injured. He can succumb to the overwhelming pressure of trying to save the world. So how do you give him the edge against the apocalypse? Simple: invent the perfect battle armor. And how do you do that? Simple: upgrade the soldier himself.
Crynet Systems, the 100% fictional and 100% badass weapons developer in newly released Crysis 2, has created the ultimate armor. The Nanosuit not only protects the wearer from the mean streets of New York circa 2023, but it forges soldiers into fearless, tireless tacticians, with thousands of resources being fed telemetrically into their brains. The Nanosuit wearer actually becomes the weapon—part human, part machine, and entirely ready for what chaos might bring. Oh yeah, and it turns them invisible.
Test out the Nanosuit yourself by playing Crysis 2, the new first person shooter game that combines intense action staged amidst the catastrophically beautiful ruins of New York City, with addictive, dynamic gameplay courtesy of the unique Nanosuit experience. Crysis 2 is available now for or Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. Head here to order your copy now!

I mentioned in my review of 'Sincerely Yours' about my first experience of listening to The Malcolm Wilce Duo. However, I feel that I didn't do it justice, so have lovingly recreated that moment using the original cast and made a short film about it. A very short film. About 40 seconds kind of short. Short. It's short. Watch it. It's very short. Thank you.
Older readers of Forgotten Albums will know that I like to try and do what I laughingly call 'research' on the albums I feature here. Of course, what that really means is that I do a quick google search and hope for the best, regurgitating any tasty morsels that I find. And yet 'The Malcolm Wilce Duo' remained a bit of a mystery for me. Most of the results I could find were catalogue entries listing a whole career's worth of albums, but no hard facts about the Duo themselves.
Ah, but then, but then, nestling amongst the text under the link on the final page of my search were the words 'former drummer with Malcolm Wilce Duo'. Hope bursting in my heart, I clicked on the link to MTH Dancing, and there on the front page was the man from the cover of 'Sincerely Yours' looking back at me. Older, wiser, but unmistakably the same man.
A couple of e-mails and a few texts later, I found myself on the phone to Mark for in interview to try and find out more about The Malcolm Wilce Duo, and Sincerely Yours....
(All photos are ©Mark Helmore 2017, and taken from his website - link below)
Against all popular wisdom, I collect these albums based purely on their cover. If I think it's quirky, interesting or just plain ugly, then I'll buy it. The test then is whether the music has stood the test of time. I can guide, but only you can decide!

To calculate lineal feet of trim, (e.g. base, quarter round) simply measure each wall in the room and add up the lineal feet. For ease of installation use whole pieces where ever possible. Allow extra for cutting each corner and splicing pieces together.
To determine the square footage of a square or rectangular room, measure the length and width of the room in feet or inches and enter the values in Area 1 of the calculator below. For irregularly shaped areas or multiple rooms, it is helpful to draw a diagram and divide the room up into sections. Treat each section as a separate area, as in this illustration. Input the measurements of each area below to see the total SQFT needed.

This has been a great two months for Rambus, both in the courts and on Wall Street. In late March, the memory and interconnect designer won an important victory in a long-standing patent battle with memory maker Hynix. The San Jose jury's verdict, which determined that Rambus did not in fact defraud the JEDEC standards committee by showing up at meetings where open standards were being discussed and then secretly patenting the proposals behind everyone's back, sent the company's shares soaring by 39 percent.
The latest round of favorable legal news came yesterday, when the DC Court of Appeals smacked down the Federal Trade Commission's 2006 decision that Rambus had engaged in monopolistic behavior. At issue in the FTC case was the aforementioned alleged defrauding of the JEDEC, which connects the disparate parts of Rambus's sprawling legal epic like a proverbial red thread.
The appeals court ruled that the FTC not only failed to prove that Rambus's patents had any harmful monopoly effects on the DRAM market, but that the agency also hadn't provided any substantial evidence that the memory designer had deceived the JEDEC about its ongoing patent applications in the first place.
The court has now put the ball back in the FTC's court, ruling that the agency will have to start over with a completely new trial if it wants to pursue its case against Rambus. The FTC says it is evaluating its options and may decide to continue the fight.
Computer & Communications Industry Association President Ed Black said after the ruling that the entire case shows the need for patent reform. "The ruling is disappointing because it illustrates the opportunity to game the patent system by manipulating standards," he said. "This case required extraordinary resources in litigation. How much more money should companies spend on legal fees that could have been invested in job creating innovation before we pass patent reform? We commend the FTC for understanding the great incentive there is for manipulating standards."
As for Rambus, the recent victories will probably put it on a firmer legal footing in its ongoing patent litigation against Micron and other memory makers, some of which goes to trial in the first months of 2009. And go to trial they almost certainly will, since the stakes in these cases are extremely high. If victorious, Rambus could rack up as much as $11.7 billion in total royalties on existing DRAMs (according to an analyst estimate given to Dow Jones). That's a lot of money, especially for an IP-only company with no fab, and if Rambus walks away with even half of that, then the company's shareholders will party like it's 2000.

|Children welcome giant pandas Xing Hui and Hao Hao at the Brussels National Airport in the capital of Belgium on Feb. 23, 2014. The pair of giant pandas, Xing Hui, the male, and Hao Hao, the female, arrived in Belgium Sunday, on lease from their breeding center in southwest China's Sichuan Province. They are both four years old and will stay in Belgium for the next 15 years. (Xinhua/Sun Wen)
BRUGELETTE, Belgium, Feb. 23 - A pair of giant pandas from southwest China's Sichuan Province arrived at their new home in Belgium's Pairi Daiza zoo, some 60 km southwest of downtown Brussels, at around 15:00 local time (1400GMT) on Sunday.
About 2,500 people, many of them excited children waving national flags of China and Belgium as well as panda-decorated flags or wearing costume of Panda greeted the pandas along the road to the zoo.
Visitors today can only observe the pandas through a closed-circuit television system in the reception.
Officials said they want the pandas fully adapted to their new home before making public debut in April. The zoo authorities set the daily maximum visitors at 18,000 by then.
The pandas, Xing Hui, the male and Hao Hao, the female, are both 4 years old and are on lease from a breeding center in southwest China's Sichuan Province.
The lease term is 15 years, according to officials with the China Conservation and Research Center for Giant Pandas, the world's largest research base for the species.
"It's a good thing for Belgium,"Nicole Duflot, a grandmother coming to the zoo with her husband and her grandson told Xinhua, "though today we can't see the Panda but it's a great thing for us to come here."
The Pandas will be living in a panda hall of 5,300 square meters within the zoo.
"I hope Xing Hui and Hao Hao will enhance friendship between Belgium and China." Liao Liqiang, the Chinese ambassador to Belgium, said during an interview with Xinhua.
"I hope the panda research cooperation programme will bear fruit soon, and Xing Hui and Hao Hao can soon give birth to a baby panda, I hope the Belgium people continue to pay close attention to them and pandas protection." Li Qingwen, Deputy Secretary-general of China Wildlife Conservation Association said when addressing to the visitors coming to the zoo.
Li said, giant panda is China's national treasure, pandas now enjoy better situation in the wild after all theses years of protection efforts.
"There are 2 captive-bred pandas released to the wild successfully, one of which has already live in the wild for one and a half year and the monitoring shows that it is in good condition." He told Xinhua.
"Panda is the flag species to promote the animal and plant diversity, I hope we can encourage wild life protection through the cooperation programme."Jia Jiansheng, deputy director of Department of Wildlife Conservation and Nature Reserve Management, State Forestry Administration of China, told Xinhua.
"In a bid to make the pair feel at home, the zoo spent altogether 10 million euros (13.7 million U.S. dollars) for the construction, 8 million euros of which spent on Chinese Temple and the Panda enclosure and 2 million euros for the improving the condition of the rest of the zoo,"Eric Domb,President of Pairi Daiza Zoo, said in the news conference.
The zoo authority said, the pandas sleep a lot in the trip, and they are in very good condition than expected.
They also said that the zoo will first try feeding the pandas 40 different varieties of bamboo, supplied from France and the Netherlands. Then depending on which varieties Hao hao and Xing Hui most like, Pairi Daiza have allocated 4 hectares of land to grow bamboo plantations for the duo.
In 1987, two giant pandas visited Belgium but only stayed a few months. Built on ruins of a medieval monastery, Pairi Daiza Zoo was praised as one of the best zoo in Europe, and has the largest Chinese garden in it. Some of the rare Chinese animal such as the Red Crowned Crane and the red panda has been settle down there.
Giant pandas are one of the world's most endangered species. About 1,600 live in the wild, mostly in the mountains of Sichuan, while more than 300 live in captivity.
Known as China's "national gem," more than 40 pandas are on lease, and their offspring now live in 18 zoos in 13 countries. The lease term is usually 10 years.
Xing Hui and Hao Hao are the first two giant pandas China has sent overseas for a lease term of 15 years.

10 Ways to Avoid Getting a Parking Ticket
1. Watch for permanent and temporary signs.
As the demand for on-street parking continues to build, more areas of Minneapolis have posted parking restrictions. New loading zones, no parking zones and rush-hour zones are added each year. In addition, "temporary" paper signing is posted for construction zones, street cleaning, street repairs, emergencies, tree trimming, water or sewer line work, and special events. Signs without specific times shown are in effect 24 hours a day.
2. Read the parking meters.
Hurried motorists often forget to check the information on the parking meters before depositing coins. Some of the important things they might miss include:
- the days and hours the meter is in effect
- whether there are rush hour parking restrictions which require the vehicle to be moved
- temporary signs indicting the time and date of any special events or construction which would prohibit the use of the parking spot
- a phone number to report any meter malfunctions: (612) 673-5750
The days and hours that meters are in effect are also posted on large yellow signs on each block that meters are located. Learn more about Parking Meters or email [email protected] for more information.
3. Stay away from the corners of intersections
The space at the end of the block is an inviting temptation to the driver looking for parking. However, the City of Minneapolis prohibits vehicles from parking within 20 feet of the inside edge of the intersecting sidewalk.
How far is 20 feet? It's roughly one parking space. A typical vehicle is 16' long. The "corner clearance" ordinance is intended to provide safety to pedestrians, cyclists and motorists with a clear field of vision when using intersections.
Learn more about unsigned street parking restrictions.
4. Leave bus stops for buses.
Drivers often pull into bus stops to wait for a friend, buy a cup of coffee or use a bank machine. Even a quick stop blocks the zone, forcing Metro Transit drivers to unload or load passengers on the street. This is a potential hazard for all passengers and adds to congestion for other motorists when the bus is unable to pull into the bus stop.
5. Park safely at schools.
Many streets near schools are signed No Parking during school days. School day signing is designed to maximize visibility and to accommodate motorists dropping off or picking up children.
Drivers should never double park to load or discharge children from their vehicles. This puts kids in the dangerous position of crossing a lane of traffic without seeing or being seen by other motorists.
6. Use off-street parking.
The purpose of metered and time limit areas is to encourage the turnover of vehicles in places where there is a high demand for on-street parking. If your appointment requires longer term parking, save the cost of a ticket and use a lot or ramp. Staying at a meter longer than the posted time limit is a violation, as is "re-feeding" the meter for additional time.
7. Know the difference between "No Parking" and "No Stopping".
The No Stopping Zone is the most restrictive parking regulation in Minneapolis. If a driver chooses to stop in one of these zones they can be ticketed and towed. Once a vehicle has ceased moving with the flow of traffic, even if occupied, it is deemed stopped.
The No Parking Zone is less restrictive. Drivers are allowed to use these zones (e.g. Passenger, Loading) to load or unload goods or to pick up or discharge passengers for a period up to five minutes.
8. Respect residential parking restrictions.
In responding to neighborhood concerns about parking pressures, the City of Minneapolis has established more than twenty Critical Traffic and Parking Areas. These areas are clearly posted for permit holder use. Other parking alternatives are available for visitors and service people. These areas have varied time and day restrictions – please check the posted signs.
Parking Enforcement patrols these areas regularly to ensure residents have access to on-street parking in their neighborhood.
9. Pay special attention to signing and parking meters in the Warehouse District.
When parking on the street in the Warehouse District of downtown Minneapolis, pay special attention to the signs and parking meters. There are late night parking restrictions, extended parking meter hours, and No Stopping Zones in these areas which are clearly signed. If in doubt, make use of the abundant off-street parking available in the area.
10. Know the Snow Emergency Rules
During the winter, know and follow the Snow Emergency parking rules. To help crews clear the streets and avoid a ticket and a tow, call 612-348-SNOW or check the Snow website for current parking information.
And always remember, err on the side of caution! Have I parked too close to the corner? What do those signs mean? Am I blocking another vehicle? If you're not sure, find another spot. Traffic Control officers receive thousands of complaints each year from people inconvenienced by another person's poor parking decision.
Also street sweeping and hooded meters also override the use of parking meters.
Thanks for doing your part to maintain orderly parking for everyone!

Join us on Sat 3rd Oct at the rally at the Customs House, Dublin to protest against Oppressive Government Restrictions and Mandates and reject the new abnormal. Governments everywhere have made a grab for total power and are imposing Orwellian conditions over us since this Covid thing started last March. Governments are not in the habit of giving up power and must be challenged. Most people are just going along with the rules thinking that somehow it is all going to be lifted. It is not. It will only be lifted if the public show they don't accept them. It is time to stop sitting on the fence and getting up to make a difference. read full story / add a comment

How times have changed. In the space of a few weeks ordinary things like going to the beach or swimming have become illegal activities, criminal acts. We have sleep walked into a police state and we are clapping our way through it.
We are told that the lockdown will have to continue indefinitely. We are told there will be more rounds of Covid-19 each worse the next. This is completely counter to most diseases which get milder over time. We are told when the lock down lifts, groups no larger than 10 will be allowed. What does that mean for flying, going to the theatre, cinema, concerts, football matches. Going to the beach, staying in a hotel.
Actually its pure crap and if we dont wake up and reject this bullshit, we are totally fucked.

Councilors from Fianna Fail, Green Party, Labour and Social Democrats have agreed to give land at O Devaney Gardens to Bartra Capital.
O Devaney Gardens was a working class flat complex on the edge of the Phoenix Park. For decades, it was run down by Dublin City Council and requests by tenants for proper maintenance were ignored.
Dublin City Council officials typically neglect inner city housing complexes in the hope that they can eventually move out the residents and turn them into posh private apartments.
The Fianna Fail-Green-LabourSocial Democrat coalition that run Dublin City Council complied with this disgraceful strategy. read full story / add a comment

Housing prices are skyrocketing in cities around the world. Incomes are not. Private equity firms have become the biggest landlords in the world, and the extent of the high-end land grab goes well beyond gentrification. Fredrik Gerttens probing documentary follows Leilani Farha, the UN Special Rapporteur on Adequate Housing as she travels the world in an effort to understand why we are being pushed out of our cities, and why affordable housing isnt defined as a fundamental human right.

Texas-based Western Rim Properties will be opening the doors to its three new spring development projects in the next upcoming weeks. Established for the last 30 years across the Texas rental real estate market, the firm that has been growing its presence across the state's top cities in areas like Dallas, San Antonio, Austin and Houston now has nearly 20 properties and over 20,000 rental units. Providing popular luxury apartment style rentals, the spring projects have been in the works for over a year and a half and will be positioned around central rental population segments who live outside of city limits. These surrounding city locations where renter populations reside have a growing network of both residential and business development and welcome medium to upper class tenants who are looking to benefit from community run suburbs that come backed with the accessibility of city amenities.
North Texas has been a focus location for the Western Rim's past and upcoming developments with two of the spring developments positioned in the popular Northern Texas City of Farmers Branch. One of the fastest-growing Texas cities, residents are coming from both in-state and out of state to this area to benefit from everything the growing suburb has to offer. The properties will include WRP's The Mansions and The Towers style rentals which have existing communities across the state and provide the best in upscale living accommodations. "Our projects focus on offering renters the flexibility they want in a rental property matched with the benefits found in upper class housing. We have selected Farmers Branch to be the site of two of our spring projects to tap into the opportunities growing in the area from younger families and professionals looking for community focused, luxury rentals," shares CEO and founder of Western Rim, Marcus Hiles.

BUT, I have a video for you all. Lately, I have been researching the American military's relationship with neuroscience, and I came across Mind Wars by Jonathan Moreno, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania.
Here he is discussing his book and the ties between the US military and neuroscience on "Conversations from Penn State."

Matheny maintaining confidence in Maness
ST. LOUIS -- A day after watching Seth Maness allow a pair of runs in the 12th inning of a 5-3 loss to the Brewers, Cardinals manager Mike Matheny reiterated his confidence in the 25-year-old reliever while also acknowledging that the club needs to help him find his form.
Maness, who was scored upon in just six of his first 27 appearances in his rookie season, has allowed a run in five of his first nine outings this year. He has fought command and, most glaringly, is not getting his usual heavy dose of ground balls. Maness induced 16 double plays last year (most among National League relievers) and had a ground-ball-to-fly-ball ratio of 5.50. This year, it has dropped to 1.90.
"What we're dealing with is a guy who [is struggling] -- [something] every single one of them is going to go through at some point or another if they're around for very long -- and trying to get it back," Matheny said. "It's not gone. It's just not available right now. He's just got to get it there."
The Cardinals have altered Maness' role this season, though it's tough to see a correlation between that and his command issues. Last season, he became Matheny's go-to pitcher to get the team out of a jam. This year, Maness is mostly coming in to start an inning.
Matheny confirmed that Maness is not dealing with any physical ailment, and that the Cardinals have not found any glaring issues with his mechanics.
"We're talking about a guy who has always relied on pinpoint control," Matheny said. "And that pinpoint control is rare, even at this level. I think a lot of it comes down to him trusting himself that he can make those tough pitches and be able to inch the ball off the plate or inch it down in the zone. Down is going to be the key for him. He's made a lot of mistakes up, as you've seen with these fly balls."
