Recent restatement studies released by the Center for Audit Quality (CAQ) and Audit Analytics show that an increasing percentage of restatements are filed by companies that do not disclose that prior financial statements are not reliable and an increasing percentage of restatements are being filed by accelerated filers. The most frequent reasons for the restatements appear to relate to complex accounting standards or highly judgmental accounting issues.
The FASB has projects related to some of these accounting issues. A proposed accounting standard update addresses whether a hybrid financial instrument issued as a share is more akin to debt or equity. The FASB's simplification project may facilitate inventory measurement and accounting for goodwill, derivatives and hedging, and pensions. In addition, the FASB may provide further guidance on cash-flow statement classification issues. Another issue—revenue recognition—may be more judgmental in the future because of a new accounting standard. In addition, although the income tax accounting standard is extremely complex and challenging to implement, a recent Financial Accounting Foundation post-implementation review of that standard did not recommend any standard-setting changes, a conclusion with which some disagree.
Some of the restatement studies' conclusions include the following:

The bronze statue in front of Aliiolani Hale, facing Iolani Place, is that of KING KAMEHAMEHA who, through warfare and diplomacy between 1790 and 1810, gained control of the islands to establish the monarchy.

King Kamehameha Statue
American sculptor, Thomas R. Gould, was commissioned to create this statue, and subsequently modeled the figure at his studio in Rome in 1879. It was then cast in bronze in Paris in 1880, but was lost in a shipwreck en route to Hawaii. The second statue, cast from the same mold, arrived unharmed. The first statue was eventually recovered and stands in front of the Kohala Court House in Kapa'au on Hawaii, while the second is located in front of the Judiciary Building in Honolulu.

King Kamehameha Statue
The famous statue of the man who united the Hawaiian Islands sits in front of Ali'iolani Hale on King Street in downtown Honolulu. This statue is famous for having many leis drapped over his outstreched hand on June 11th, Kamehameha Day. Designed by Thomas Gould, the bronze statue was cast in Florence, Italy in 1880s and was moved to it's present location in 1912.
It is definitely a symbol of Hawaii. A must-see especially if you're going to be at Iolani Palace which is across the street from the statue.

Kamehameha Statue Redux
The Kamehameha Statue which was erected in honor of King Kamehameha I is located across King Street from the 'Iolani Palace. Kamehameha was a young Hawaiian warrior whose name meant "the lonely one." Born in 1756 and who died in 1819 from an illness, Kamehameha the Great is known for unifying the main Hawaiian islands, except for Kauai and Ni'ihau in 1795 for the first t ime. On Kamehameha Day, which is also a state holiday for Hawai'i, the statue is most impressive with it's neck, shoulders and arms draped with numerous long flower leis. These leis can measure up to 18 feet in length.
The King Kamehameha Statue pays tribute to Hawaii's warrior king. In fact, there are four statues: THIS one in downtown Honolulu, fronting the old Judiciary Building; another in Statuary Hall in Washington, D.C. and the original statue at the king's birthplace in Kapaau on the Big Island, and a 14-foot, five-ton statue in Hilo. Talk about Tributes heheheh.
Standing eight and a half feet tall, the statue depicts Kamehameha in his royal garb, including a helmet of rare feathers and a gilded cloak. The spear in his left hand serves to symbolize the kingdom's willingness and ability to defend itself from hostile nations. His right hand, however, is extended in a welcoming gesture of aloha

I think an amalgamation of the available canon evidence would suggest that indeed, on core Federation worlds like Earth and Betazed at least, Federation citizens are given public schooling and have their medical needs provided for.
I believe the only teachers we have seen were volunteers: there was no mention of Keiko charging for school on DS9, and the teachers on the Enterprise were not part of her crew. We have seen many students being "home schooled", and others making reference to "school" but no indication of who runs it. You might infer that the schools are run by the government, but I think there is at least an equal amount of evidence that the schools are run by the citizens themselves, teachers being either volunteers or, if paid, paid by the parents of the students directly.
We have seen Starfleet providing medical care, but we have also seen doctors who were not part of Starfleet. We have no indication if they work for the government, for some private entity, or if they provide medical care as volunteers, simply because they are able to and see the need. If anything, that last has a bit more canon support than the others.
That their medical needs are provided for does not mean that they are provided for

Between Riverside and Crazy Bares Its Wounds

Vanessa Redgrave is one of those rare English actors that live their parts, a Brit with genuine respect for the gritty American tradition launched by the Actors Studio in the early '50s, just a few years before this scion of one of England's leading theatrical families made her start. Stateside for the Royal Shakespeare Company's production of Euripides' Hecubabeginning a two-week run at BAM on Fridayshe can't help exuding the mute emotional turmoil of a refugee as she schleps around the capital during the show's critically praised Kennedy Center run. Sitting down for an interview outside the theater on a glorious spring morning, Redgrave, lighting cigarette after Natural American Spirit cigarette, speaks in a somber tone that seems appropriate to both her tragic character and our own catastrophe-riddled time.
Why the decision to do one of the lesser-known (and starkly gruesome) Greek tragedies now? "I didn't know Hecuba, but I knew it had to be about the Trojan War," she says. "I had done Michael Cacoyannis's film The Trojan Women, made in Spain just before Franco died, and basically I wanted to do another Euripides."
The political freight of Hecubawhich, like The Trojan Women, grapples with the fate of the Trojan queen and her women who are cast into slavery after the conquest of their citywould seem to be the obvious lure for Redgrave, whose liberal activism has, as in the case of her Julia co-star Jane Fonda, turned her into an easy target for conservatives with axes to grind. Still, she contends that her reasons are first and foremost poetic, namely Euripides and Tony Harrison, the production's English translator.
"Nothing has any validity in my profession if it isn't first artistic," she says. "I revere Tony Harrison. Of course Tony is very political. But that isn't why he translates the Greeks."
Harrison, however, is perfectly clear on Hecuba's pointed contemporary resonance. For him, the protagonist serves as an emblem for the suffering inflicted on civilians by military devastation, whether in Bosnia, Kosovo, Chechnya, or Iraq. She is, in short, where the damage, "collateral" and otherwise, traumatically registers. "Hecuba walks out of Euripides from two thousand five hundred years ago straight onto our daily front pages and into our nightly newscasts," he writes in the introduction to his translation. "She is never out of the news. To our shame she is news that stays news."
Though the tragedy fell out of favor in the 19th century, it was routinely revived during periods of crisis in the 20th, which explains its current Anglo-American resurgence. Last fall Clare Higgins led the cast of a touted Donmar Warehouse staging in London, while in New York Kristin Linklater, the renowned voice teacher, made her return to the stage in a production at the Culture Project. And the Pearl has just announced it's doing the play next season.
Redgrave would seem to be perfect casting, which is why the RSC production persevered through rather disastrous reviews during its London run. (Harrison, in fact, has remounted the work originally directed by Laurence Boswell, resulting in more favorable notices for the Kennedy Center.)
"I really believe we are doing the play justice, whatever anyone says," Redgrave contends. "If I didn't believe that, I wouldn't be looking forward to going anywhere with the production."
Her loyalty to Euripides' strange and complex tragedy is compelling. Hecuba is not a straightforward anti-war lament in the manner of The Trojan Women, but a kind of object lesson on the way in which wars, particularly elective ones like the invasion of Troy (provoked by a two-timing wife), demoralize through the state-authorized abrogation of fundamental law and order. To willfully unleash destruction on a foreign people is to open a Pandora's box, allowing repercussions and reprisals to shatter the values and safeguards of democratic life.
Hecuba is an enslaved queen forced, in the wake of her manifold losses, to suffer not only the gratuitous sacrifice of her virginal daughter Polyxenaoffered up to the ghost of Achillesbut also the discovery of her youngest son, Polydorus, hacked to death for his gold by the queen's supposed ally Polymestor. In both instances, Hecuba appeals to the Greeks' sense of morality and fair play, asking them to spare her daughter and take revenge on Polymestor for his crime. Both times she is rebuffed, first by the shameless double-talk of Odysseus (think Donald Rumsfeld, only more mealymouthed) and second by the more sympathetic yet equally spineless Agamemnon, who under the guise of political necessity turns a blind eye to the descent into further barbarity. The play's final atrocities are perpetrated by Hecuba, who's tacitly allowed to take retribution into her own hands, which she does by blinding Polymestor and murdering his two young sons.

The Paper one examination of the CBSE's All India Engineering Entrance Examination-which was rescheduled on Sunday morning following a question paper leak in north India-recommenced at 12 noon in 18 centres in Thiruvananthapuram.
More than 10,000 students would write paper one from 12 noon to 3 p.m. The architecture entrance examination will now be held from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. A CBSE official told The Hindu that there are only two centres in THiruvananthapuram where the architecture examination is scheduled.
Paper one was originally scheduled from 9.30 a.m. to 12.30 p.m.
For thousands of students who sat down to write the paper one examination on Sunday morning, the announcement that the question papers were being taken back came as a bolt from the blue. In some schools an urgent announcement was made over the public address system to all invigilators to stop distributing the question papers. Bewildered parents anxiously waiting outside the examination centres learnt moments later-mainly from their wards who streamed out of the examination halls—that there had been a question paper leak in north india and that the examination was being postponed.
"We let the children inside by 9 a.m. and the distribution of question papers began at 9.20 a.m.," Jyothis Chandran the chairman of the Jyothis Central School Menamkulam told The Hindu, "by about 9.32 a.m. we received the urgent communiqué that the question papers had to be taken back. We took them back and I immediately called the parents and briefed them on whatever we knew. We have 500 children writing the examinations here and more than 1,000 parents are present. Even as I speak to you the alternative set of question papers have reached the school from the bank where they were kept for safe custody." By 11.30 a.m. the students were let back inside the examination halls once again, he said and added that the school had arranged for breakfast and lunch for the students and the parents.
The postponement of the examinations was greeted with anger by many parents, particularly those who had come from outside Thiruvananthapuram. P. K. Jayaprakash a Pathanamthitta-based businessman told THE Hindu that he had set out from home at 4 a.m. this morning so that they could reach Saraswathy Vidyalaya at Vattiyoorkkavu where his daughter is writing the engineering entrance examination.
"Soon after the students went inside the halls the principal announced over the mike that the invigilators should not distribute the question papers. Later came the announcement that the examination was being postponed because of the leak. Just imagine the plight of the children. Most of them must have eaten a light breakfast because of the examination. Now, they have to sit in the hall till 3 p.m. and then again from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. if they are writing the architecture examination. The school doesn't appear to have any facility for the children to have food. What if there is no electricity in a school? How will the children write the evening examination?"
According Mr. Chandran the CBSE informed his school that for students wishing to appear for the AFMC examination scheduled on Sunday afternoon, a re-test for the engineering paper would be held on May 8. "There were five students in our school who had registered for the AFMC test. Two candidates has already left to write that examination. Three others decided to write the AFMC test and writing the rescheduled engineering test," he added.
Our Kozhikode Correspondent adds
The leakage of All India Engineering Entrance Examination question papers put thousands of students and their parents in dilemma in the district on Sunday. The first part of the examinations was to begin at 9.30 a.m., but following the leakage of question papers, the examination was delayed for more than two hours in all the 10 sub centres in Kozhikode.
The students who entered the examination hall were in a situation to come out after clearing the preliminary signing procedures. Some of them had even received the question papers. Later, following official intimations that the examination would begin at 12 noon, they were re-admitted to the examination hall by 11.30. By the time, the new set of question papers had been brought to the respective centres.
As uncertainty prevailed on resuming of the examination at 12 noon, some of the students reportedly gave up their attempt and went home. But, majority thronged to the examination centres coping up with the situation.
The parents who came along with their children from neighboring districts had a tough time in the unexpected development. Several of them had hired rooms for their children in the city. Though the examiners gave assurance on the timely resuming of examinations at 12 noon, the parents, especially those from distant locations were found apprehensive on the rearranged evening schedule from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. As it was May Day and Sunday, majority of the hotels were also not functioning in the city.
"We had arrived in Kozhikode around 7.30 a.m. The unexpected rescheduling really troubled us," said K.C. Padmanabhan, a parent from Kannur district. He said several parents and children who came from Wayanad and Kasaragod districts too had a trouble time.
Meantime, P. Radhakrishnan, a parent from Palakkad district shared that the timely information given by the examiners wiped out the tension of several parents. "They had informed us that the examination would resume sharply at 12 noon by admitting students to the hall at 11.30," he said
PTI adds
Question papers of the All India Engineering Entrance Examination (AIEEE) were leaked in Uttar Pradesh on Sunday forcing the CBSE to postpone the test by a few hours.
Sources said the question papers were leaked in Uttar Pradesh. About 12 lakh students across the country are scheduled to write the prestigious exam at over 1,600 centres in more than 80 cities today.
This is for the first time that the AIEEE is being held in the online mode. Nearly one lakh students from 20 cities will take the examination online.
AIEEE is conducted to gain admissions into National Institutes of Technology and other engineering colleges in the country.

Police arrived on the scene to find Derrick Laphonso Wright, 44, of Montgomery, dead from several gunshot wounds.
Renard Kendale Brooks, 30, of Dadeville, was also found at the scene with gunshot wounds.
Brooks was transported to UAB Medical Center, but authorities said Brooks was pronounced dead the next day.
Sheriff Jimmy Abbett would not comment as to whether a murder weapon or suspect has been identified, but he said that evidence has been turned over to the state for analysis.
"The investigation is ongoing – we are awaiting results from the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences," Abbett said.
The investigation is currently a four-agency collaboration, with the sheriff's office, district attorney's office, Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences and the Montgomery Police Department assisting.

She said, "For these two Yadavs, power comes before self-respect, but for me self-respect comes before power. Mulayam is already colluding with communal forces, there is no question of my allying with Samajwadi Party."
She also added, "People of Uttar Pradesh are fed up with the Samajwadi Party and now they are also fed up of the Bharatiya Janata Party. Only the BSP can rule the state well."

Creature of the Week #92 - The Architect
The Roobs are comical race of small sluggish creatures who can be distinguished mainly by their different wooden masks that they carry and that is only one if their many "technical achievments". They are also funny in a sadistical way for their odd method of building new homes, they take random objects lying around and throw into a pile without any thought and then enter with the hope that it wont fall apart instantly. This method leads to many sad deaths among the Roobs but ironically they are called "the architects" by all other creatures as a running joke, but still they stand proud of their craft.

Here's the Character of the Week, The Overprepared Backpacker. I had little time to do this, mostly because i forgot the deadline and realised it close to the end.
August 12th, 2007 #249
Wow, Lazy! You're technique has improved by leaps and bounds since I last came here. Your brush technique has this beautiful, smooth look about it, and your handling of light and color is much better than it used to be. Nice job, man!
As far as crits go, your figure work still needs some improvement. Also, try to be more consistent in your shadows. That last crit was a reference to your Backpacker ChoW. Look at those shiny things on his pack (excellent job on those, by the way). For the upper objects, the light and speculars are on the right side, but on the lower objects, the highlights are on the left side. The shading on the guy isn't consistent, either. Also, add some reflections to the water, and increase the value difference between the water and the surrounding dirt. And sharpen the edges of the man's shadow.
See you later! Keep up the improvement!
August 12th, 2007 #250
good... err ... wait, Very good man !
I'll try to swing by more often to leave some crit.
In the meantime, keep up the work !

Dude! Awesome piece! Really nice. You just took yourself to a whole new level with that one, both in terms of subject matter and in your handling of the medium.
There are some flaws that I'd like to point out, however. First of all, the composition is lopsided, with all the contrast concentrated in that one upper section. Perhaps brighten up one of the lower right buildings to help spread the viewer's attention around. Also, I'm getting contradictory messages about the position of that bright surface and the figures on it in relation to the background. The difference in scale and brightness on the platform part tell me that it's high above the rest of the scene. However, the rest of the object with the floating platform is similar in value and in contrast to the rest of the scene. This makes it blend in with the background. Also, I'm not sure what exactly it's supposed to be that they're standing on. Is that part of a ship, or a building, or what?
I'd suggest changing the background from isometric perspective to "normal" perspective, but that might be too difficult at this stage in the rendering. Just make sure everything that's supposed to be parallel really is parallel, and that everything that's supposed to line up really does line up. Okay?
Rock on, Mr. Lazy.

I present to all of you some awesome veichles (not to be scaled against each other)
Moai : Thank you very much for the comment, i tweaked the last one some more.

Salt Lake Pops Orchestra, David Osmond, and Aubree Oliverson Release Video: Firework
Utah Orchestra, Salt Lake Pops Orchestra, announces the release of their rendition of Firework. This new video can be viewed on YouTube.
(PRWEB) July 14, 2012
As it is, Salt Lake Pops Orchestra's goal is to create songs and free sheet music for orchestras. They take modern pop music and then put it into orchestration to revitalize communities, as well as public high school orchestras. They have recently made and published an orchestration titled Firework. Firework stars David Osmond on vocals, Aubree Oliverson as violin soloist, and Nathaniel Drew as Conductor.
Nathaniel Drew has called the Salt Lake Pops Orchestra "Revolutionary". He says it is revolutionary because it revitalizes community orchestras around the United States by providing free sheet music for famous pop songs. His hope is not only to ensure that community orchestras and high schools don't have to pay for sheet music, but also that they will play music that will encourage more youth in the community to attend their concerts.
About this Utah orchestra, Nathaniel Drew states specifically, "The Revolution Symphony would like to present a solution. Play music that speaks to the people in your orchestra, potential orchestra members and your audience. Continue to play the incredible music of Beethoven, Bach and Mozart, but supplement that music with something that will excite your kids: popular music from artists they already listen to! Katy Perry's "Firework"! Make YOUR orchestra current, relevant and FUN again! Even one song every concert could change things for your orchestra. To help you we've decided give our sheet music away for free. The individual parts. The score. Everything. You can even email us if you have special needs for your orchestra. We do ask for donations so that we can continue this revolution. It simply helps provide free music for others who don't have any money."
Firework by Katy Perry is a wonderful song about how you can shine regardless of what you're up against or what others think or say about you. Firework, in this rendition, is sung by David Osmond who takes the vocals to a new level. The video literally is about a true life firework Aubree Oliverson. At 13 she became one of the best violinists in her age group in the world. Some could argue that she is one of the best violinists in the world regardless of race. Aubree, masterfully, is the Mozart accompanist to David Osmond's singing.
Nathaniel Drew believes in this so much that he has volunteered his time to do this. He has gotten many other well known artists who share his vision to participate. In fact, Nathaniel Drew has created http://www.revolutionsymphony.com to help with his "Revolutionary" idea.

Credit rating agency Standard & Poor's today said rating on IDFC is not immediately affected by its getting licence to make a foray into commercial banking but warned of short-term challenges and dip in its profitability.
The top infrastructure finance firm and Kolkata-based micro-finance entity Bandhan were yesterday granted banking licence by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
"In our view, the move (licence) will improve IDFC's asset diversity and funding profile in the long-run. However, its expansion outside traditional expertise in the competitive banking sector has significant short-term challenges.
"Execution of its conversion strategy, including the final corporate structure and capital, will influence its credit profile," the global agency said in a late evening note issued from Singapore.
RBI has given three options to NBFC to carry out banking operation. One of the options is to convert NBFC into a bank.
S&P has a BBB-/A-3 rating on IDFC currently and has retained the same, saying the credit rating can be changed only after a meeting of its relevant committee.
Stating that IDFC's funding is weaker than that of established banks in India, the note said the licence will help IDFC access stable retail deposits and low-cost current and savings accounts "which will reduce the company's reliance on wholesale funding and also funding costs".
IDFC's profitability may moderate in the near-term due to higher operating costs to establish a retail brand, branch network and to adhere to regulatory norms on cash reserve ratio, statutory liquidity ratio and priority sector lending, the rating outfit said.

Alumni spotlight: Maureen Hanratty
Maureen Hanratty, MSI '09
User Experience Designer, Mozilla
San Francisco, California
Adding experience while at UMSI
Like many students, Maureen participated in one of UMSI's student organizations. She not only gained valuable knowledge and skills outside of the classroom, but she also formed connections with other professionals in the field.
"As a student, I was a board member of SOCHI (the Student Organization for Computer-Human Interaction) planning design jams and other events for students in the HCI specialization," she says. "I learned how to effectively organize events and lead people, skills I used in coordinating the User Experience Book Club for San Francisco. I also became connected to people and organizations outside of UMSI, such as Mozilla, which have helped me build a network in the wider user experience community."
Building her portfolio at UMSI
Most employers are interested in hiring students who excel both in and outside the classroom. During her time at UMSI, Maureen worked on practical projects that improved her HCI knowledge and skills. When she interviewed for jobs after she graduated from UMSI, Maureen used those experiences to impress her employers.
"In honing my skills as a designer, the most valuable project I worked on as a student was a research project called ktalk," she explains. "It was a small online support community I designed and built for young adults with kidney disease. Leading an end-to-end project from research and design to building the live site on Drupal tested all the skills I had learned at UMSI. In interviews with employers it was extremely advantageous to be able to show a solo project for which I could take credit for all aspects of the design."
After UMSI
Prior to working for Mozilla, Maureen was an interaction designer for Autodesk in
San Francisco, CA. She has also worked as an interaction designer at Yahoo! At Mozilla, she is a user experience designer for Firefox Marketplace.
"You've got to learn the skills of your trade, be it sketching, wireframing, or prototyping. It's hard to get much experience with these on student projects, so you're going to have to work hard outside of your courses to learn and polish these skills."
Maureen also explains that interpersonal and communication skills are crucial in her line of work. "These skills are important for any job, of course, but as a designer it is particularly important as you will have to collaborate and negotiate with both business and engineering. If you cannot play nice with others and fail to effectively communicate your vision you will have a tough time. Designing is the easy part. The hard part is selling your vision and getting your design implemented."

Thanks, something new to learn as there are many on ADV site.
Enjoying so much i sent Baldy a check.
Thank you for the donation, on behalf of Baldy.
the route is the same for bikes, quads, cars and trucks. Every now and then (and more often in South America, it seems), trucks and sometimes even cars have a different route for a part of the day - if there's some river crossing or narrow river bed on the course. But it is a common occurrence for the mid-pack riders to get caught by cars or even trucks half way across the stage.
All vehicles are equipped with the sentinel system, something like a wireless/radio horn: When a car comes from behind, your bike will start blaring an alarm, so you know you should get the hell out of the way before you're blinded in a dust cloud. There's a great scene in the Race to Dakar DVD when the boys are stopped at the side of the track with a broken fuel tank and suddenly all the bikes start beeping. A few moments later, a car comes by.
Does the track / course vary allot? How could you loose your way if you weren't starting in the #1 spot? How do they disable GPS devices?
Depends. On gravel roads, there's always the chance to take a wrong turn on an intersection. In the dunes, there may be tracks all over the place: From competitors who navigated correctly, from competitors who "naviguessed" wrong, from spectators having a fun day out on their dirtbikes. Following the wrong tracks instead of your own navigation is a common occurrence on the Dakar.
Hope this helps.

Staff Reporter
Union Finance Minister launches historian S. Muthiah's book
CHENNAI: Union Finance Minister P. Chidambaram stressed the importance of conservation of heritage buildings in the city and hand over the torch of our heritage institutions to future generations.
Speaking at the launch of historian S. Muthiah's book 'A tradition of Madras that is Chennai The Taj Connemara,' Mr. Chidambaram said, "This (Taj Connemara) is of course a landmark. This stands as a proud symbol of our tradition."
He said, "I shall ensure that the Bharat Insurance building is not pulled down." He added that the heritage building can be preserved and converted into a museum. Accepting the first copy of the book from Mr. Chidambaram, N. Murali Managing Director of The Hindu said, "Civil society has woken up. Citizens are rediscovering Chennai. They have struck a balance between tradition and modernity." Mr. Muthiah said, "Taj Connemara, the oldest hotel in the city, still remains the tradition of Madras." Journalist Mark Tully, present at the function, recalled his association for over 40 years with the Hotel.
"Taj Connemara, the 154-year-old icon in Chennai, has played a key role in shaping the hospitality industry in the city. The book is a fabulous tribute to the wonderful city. The book, not for sale, is to be given to guests and well wishers," said N. Prakash, Director Operations-Oriental Hotels Limited and Area Director-Chennai.

|Last-place Red Sox hope for turnaround
|Written by Admin
|Thursday, 17 July 2014 12:14
Manager John Farrell says no one has conceded anything.
The Red Sox are 9 1/2 games out of first place in the AL East with 67 games left. They open a three-game series at home against the Kansas City Royals on Friday night.
Boston won four of its past five games before the All-Star game, but those were against the mediocre Chicago White Sox and Houston Astros.
The Red Sox are relying heavily on youngsters Brock Holt, Jackie Bradley Jr., Xander Bogaerts, Mookie Betts and Christian Vazquez and a solid pitching rotation. But they've scored the fewest runs in the AL.
