More from Ralph Graves
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
Our second headphone shootout using the Crutchfield Listening bar focused on noise-cancelling headphones. The noisy call center (where the listening bar is located) was an especially apt setting for this type of headphone. As with the first Headphone Shootout, each reviewer listened to every track through each set of headphones and jotted down his impressions.
The panel included Dave Bar, audiophile and headphone expert; Marshall Chase, whose specialty for Crutchfield on the web and in the catalog is receivers and audio components; and Ralph Graves, blog editor and former writer for Crutchfield's headphone category.
Each panelist listened to the five tracks listed below on each set of headphones, taking notes as they did so.
The tracks:
We limited our listening to five tracks, to keep the shootout manageable.. The tracks were chosen collectively by the three panelists to cover as wide a variety of musical genres and instrumental/vocal combinations as possible. The lineup:
- Finzi: Eclogue for Piano and Strings - English String Orchestra; William Boughton, conductor
This classical work starts with solo piano, and then has the orchestra gradually come in. It's important that the piano have a very natural sound, and that the ensemble can be heard with as much detail as possible to get the full effect of Gerald Finzi's understated and subtle orchestration.
- Dixie Bee-Liners: Lord, Lay Down My Ball and Chain
This bluegrass band uses all acoustic instruments, which can be challenging to reproduce in a life-like manner. The song starts with stand-up bass, which must be both low and clean in order to be effective.
- Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers: Moanin'
This classic track recorded in 1958 has a number of challenges for a set of headphones. Blakey was one of the pioneers of bebop, and in this recording, the silences are almost as important as the notes.
- Little Feat: Fat Man in the Bathtub
This is from the great live performance album, "Waiting for Columbus." It's a track all of the panelists were familiar with, so it was easy to hear what the headphones reproduced, and what they missed.
- Black Eyed Peas: BEP Empire
What could be a better test for bass than a track with plenty of it? In addition to the lows, this song also has a fairly complex mix, requiring the headphones to reproduce the sound accurately from top to bottom.
The Results:
|Beats Studio™
|Bose® QuietComfort® 15 Acoustic Noise Cancelling® headphones
|Sennheiser PXC 250-II
|Sennheiser PXC 450
Sound Quality
Surprising bass impact for small portables. Slightly rolled off high end. Best suited for classical and jazz listening, although they also sounded very nice on our bluegrass track
Clear and detailed sound with strong, well-behaved bass. Thumbs up for lovers of any musical genre.
Clear and well-balanced sound. Perhaps just the tiniest bit light on the bass. I'd feel comfortable recommending these for virtually any genre of music.
Very midrange-forward sound. Fairly lightweight on the bass. Best suited for lighter instrumental music and vocals, but I also liked them on our Jazz track.
Smooth sounding and fairly detailed, but a bit light on the bass and a touch rolled-off at the top. Well suited for classical, bluegrass, and jazz.
Good bass response without overpowering. Real loss on vocal and percussion highs. I found these had the least dimensionality of all five.
Solid bass without going over the top, bit of a drop at high end of vocals. Good all-round.
Excellent all-round except a bit weaker on bass. Great, open quality and highly detailed on all tracks. I don't think these are limited to any genre.
Warm mid-tones with a slight drop in dimension on highs. Wide berth on most, with a good amount of detail. I liked these for all-round listening.
Nice detail, showed attack well with piano and instruments. A bit rough on hip-hop. Good on other tracks.
Music had real presence, especially Little Feat and the Black Eyed Peas. The bluegrass and classical tracks seemed to have a little bit of edge to them.
Delivered a lot of detail on all tracks. A little bass-heavy, though. That was an advantage for the rock & hip-hop tunes.
The extreme highs and lows seemed rounded off. Great for classical, though, although all the tracks sounded very good, if a little soft.
Very warm, but a little light on bass. Worked well with all genres, but slightly better with our classical, jazz, and bluegrass tracks.
Good sound with nice detail across genres. Acoustic and classical tracks seemed a little bright, though.
Moderately effective

Like standing in an anechoic chamber! Very effective.

Flattened out ambient noise, without totally removing it. Still, very effective for on-ear headphones.
Very good. Steady-state ambient sounds were removed, and other noises muted effectively.
It seemed as if all the background noise had virtually disappeared.
Despite being more on-ear rather than over-ear, they did a good job muting steady hums and ambient background noise.
Good with steady-state sound. Whole frequencies seemed be removed from the background, but not the music.
Lightweight feeling. Soft earpads formed a decent seal on my ears, but overall they felt a little too small to fit in total comfort.
The earcups formed a tight, yet comfortable seal. Fairly heavy, but the weight is well distributed to avoid putting a dent in your head.
|Like wearing a cloud. Substantial feel, but very low impact. Earcups fit completely around my ears to form a complete and comfortable seal.
Very lightweight, but earcups too small to get a good seal on my ears. Your results may vary.
Big earcups formed a good seal and a comfortable fit. A bit bulky and heavy overall.
Lightweight, like how they fold compact for travel. Headband comfortable. Decent fit.
A bit weighty, but surprisingly comfortable throughout. Good seal over the ears and good with glasses.
Most comfortable of the bunch. Felt well isolated, great over the ears without the dreaded crush of the glasses into the side of your head effect.
Light on the head. The earpads felt tight, but not uncomfortably. Good padding on the headband. Dual side wiring surprisingly unobstrusive. Liked the in-line volume control.
Least favorite for comfort. Seemed bulky, though the seal over the ears was isolating.
Very light and very comfortable.
Very substantial headphones. The padding was more than adequate -- an important consideration for long trips.
Very comfortable. Easy to wear for a long plane trip.
Very light on the ears. On a long flight I might forget I was wearing them.
Nice and light. I did notice my ears getting a little warm, though, towards the end of the session.
Personal Favorite
Tough choice between the Bose® QuietComfort® 15s and the Beats. I'd give the nod to the Beats for overall sound quality, but the Bose® are unquestionably the most comfortable with the best noise cancellation by far.
This one is between the Bose® QuietComfort® 15 and Sennheiser PXC 250II. I thought that both headphones were very comfortable and did a great job of noise cancelling. Both sets had great sound quality and dimensionality, but the Bose won out for overall response. The slightly lighter attack of the Bose on bass turns out to be a plus for me as far as long-term wearability. I could see wearing the Bose on a long flight without fatigue, either internal or external to the ear.
For me, the Bose® QuietComfort® 15 headphones were a clear choice. Although they were one of the better (but not the best) in terms of sound quality, they did the best job at minimizing external noise, and were extremely comfortable to boot.
Of course, our panelists had lots more to say. Read all of their comments about these four headphones at Headphone Shootout #2 — The Details.

Though bad apples are few, bill would make it hard to weed them out
Don Heinzman
ECM Columnist
A bill to protect jobs of high school coaches from parental complaints is a bad idea.
Seems that some coaches claim they are being let go because too many parents complain about their coaching and how they handle their players. To protect their jobs, the bill in the Legislature would require that the school board could not dismiss a coach on the basis of parental complaints only.
These coaches do not need this protection; rather, frustrated parents need some avenue so that unworthy coaches are taken off the playing field.
Don't get this wrong. Almost all coaches are qualified, do a good job and should never lose their jobs.
These are the coaches who put the welfare and development of the character of their players above winning. These are the coaches who know the techniques of coaching the sport, who know how to assemble a team, develop team chemistry and bring out the best in their players, win or lose.
These are the coaches who strictly follow the rules, know how to teach, how to develop a player, bring him and her into the starting lineup, reward the players when they do well and counsel them when they make mistakes.
These are the coaches who respect the players, their fellow coaches and the parents who put their hearts and souls into developing their children, believing that sports develop teamwork, character and relationship-building.
Parents who try to get these coaches removed should be ashamed of themselves, and school boards should have the spine to ignore unworthy parental complaints and keep these coaches. But, let's face it: There are a few coaches who don't deserve to be on the field, the ice and the courts. Getting rid of them is not easy for parents when they have a legitimate complaint.
These are the coaches who put winning above the athlete's welfare, who berate the players in front of the public, who play favorites, sometimes with their own sons and daughters, who bend the rules of the game, who recruit players outside the district, displacing those who gave their all for starting positions.
Yes, these are the coaches who have no time for the parents who have honest questions and don't get answers. Parents don't know where to turn for fear that objecting would only make matters worse for their youngsters.
Athletic directors tend to over protect even the bad coaches, for, after all, they appointed them. High school principals want to back their athletic directors, because that's the way the system works.
School boards are the last resort for parents, because they, after all, are the elected representatives of the public. Alas, school boards too often take the easy way out and follow the administration's recommendations and hide behind privacy rules for their actions.
School boards do not need a law that would essentially make it harder for parents to be heard and to remove coaches who have no business teaching and coaching students. Already, coaches are notified they will not be rehired for the next year and have a chance to appeal.
There's a reason no state has a law like this. It's unnecessary.

I've been watching the U.S. consumer savings rate climb. It's been heartening to witness the ascent past 5% on its way to perhaps 7%. Any way you look at it, this is a welcome—if not critical—change in our financial/economic behavior.
I started digging into how this rate is computed and asked a few of our resident economists for some explanation. As a result, I don't feel quite as good about the savings rate as I did, but I understand the basis for it much better.
From a macroeconomic perspective, savings comprise after-tax disposable income minus consumer spending. For example, if the ratio of consumer spending to personal income fell from 98% to 95%, the savings rate in an economic sense would increase from 2% to 5%. Economists look to the sources of income—how much income is in excess of spending—not the uses of it.
In essence, "savings" can only go three places: toward paying off debt (deleveraging), for investment, or into cash reserves. So when you hear about savings rates climbing, it doesn't necessarily mean consumers have additional liquid assets in their bank accounts or that they're investing more. Increased savings could be primarily used to reduce leverage—something that raises one's overall net worth but doesn't increase liquid assets. It's a form of savings, to be sure, but not quite in the way consumers typically understand it.
There is evidence that consumer debt ratios are coming down. The ratio of homeowner household debt service payments and financial obligations to disposable personal income ("consumer FOR," or financial obligations ratio) dropped from 17.58 in the first quarter of 2008 to 16.36 in third-quarter 2009. Just 20 years ago, the ratio was 13.40.
Once excessive debt levels have been dealt with, let's hope consumers actually increase what we all think of as savings and don't slip back into their old habits.

Face and Jaw Surgery
Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Hello! I had one wisdom tooth extracted 2 1/2 months ago and I am still experiencing pain and swelling in my jaw. Is this normal. I am now on my third round of antibiotics and things have not gotten better. The oral surgeon that did the surgery has not said one way or the other if this is normal. All that I have been told is that everything looks good. I don`t know how this can be good. I can`t help but wonder if he is not telling me everything that I need to know. I hope I can get some kind of answer from you!! Thank you so much!!
Thank you for visiting NetWellness. This question would be better answered in the Dental and Oral Health (Adults) topic. Please look in that topic for an answer to your question.

"I will open it up for questions. As I've said before, as long as they pertain to Cameron Newton and anything that has to do with the previous 12 games and this particular game coming up," Auburn coach Gene Chizik said on Sunday. "I don't want to address any potential rumors and coaching issues out there that are flying around."
Chizik cut off the questions at the pass during the SEC Championship Game coaches teleconference. It was understandable and expected -- Chizik has been mum on allegations of a pay-for-play scandal involving his quarterback and most explosive player. Then this week, offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn was linked to the open job at Vanderbilt, ESPN's Chris Low saying that Malzahn is the Commodores' top candidate.
Second-ranked Auburn has dealt with severe and harsh accusations since midseason, yet emerged unscathed with a glittering 12-0 record. The Tigers head to Atlanta on Saturday seeking to play one more game without letting distractions limit them.
Their opponent, No. 18 South Carolina, has had their share of distractions as well. Not nearly as serious as ones involving Newton, but several more over the season.
"We haven't let any of it bother us," captain Patrick DiMarco recently said. "We've just focused on the next game."
It started during the offseason, when coach Steve Spurrier often publicly sniped at quarterback Stephen Garcia, questioning the player's work ethic and commitment. The concerns weren't that the coach used the media as his personal sounding board, but that the barrage of criticism might make Garcia wilt or quit listening altogether.
Before the Gamecocks could get a read on what would happen with Garcia and Spurrier, a report of improper benefits paid to several North Carolina football players surfaced. Linked within was the name of senior tight end Weslye Saunders.
That began a saga that lasted through the first game of the season, when players involved in The Whitney hotel investigation were in limbo almost until kickoff. Other players being investigated -- such as freshman Marcus Lattimore and senior cornerback Chris Culliver -- were also in the mix, Lattimore being cleared for the opener after re-paying money for an improper meal. Out of a dozen players being investigated, only Culliver and Jarriel King had to sit; each was cleared before the second game.
The Gamecocks won their first two and began to feel good about their status, when another announcement came down before the third game. Saunders, having not been allowed to participate in team activities, was dismissed from the team on Sept. 15. He had not played or scarcely practiced while others filled his role, but a senior who had come back to school after thinking about the NFL was now gone.
Saunders' dismissal came on the end of other players who had quit the team -- Quintin Richardson, Nick Allison, Zac Brindise, Ronald Byrd, Stephen Flint -- and another was added one week later. Jarvis Giles decided to transfer as well, leaving USC thin at tailback, but when he left, the team was dealing with another major blow.
The program's career leader in receptions and receiving yards, Kenny McKinley, was ruled dead by suicide on Sept. 20. An extremely popular player who many on the current team knew and were close to, McKinley's death was revealed at the end of the first practice before USC's first game against Auburn.
With heavy hearts, the Gamecocks went to Auburn and played well, but lost their first game. Giles had transferred two days after McKinley's death, and after that, USC was hit by a couple of bumps but managed to handle them.
Linebacker Shaq Wilson, who recovered two fumbles against Auburn in his only action of the season, was shut down shortly after with a pulled hamstring. Culliver was lost for the season with a torn pectoral later on, leaving the secondary with little depth.
Since the Culliver injury, the Gamecocks were riddled by Arkansas but have convincingly won their last three games, two with extreme importance to the season. USC's win over Florida clinched the SEC East, while last week's victory over Clemson was a rivalry victory for the second year in a row (the first time that's happened in 40 years).
Auburn will continue to deal with questions involving Newton and Malzahn as it prepares for Saturday. USC, its distractions behind, is happy to be able to concentrate solely on the game.

Topic: Gemzar/Cisplatin - experience/what to expect??
Hi there guys, I was wondering if I could get some information from you all, we saw Dr. Javle two days ago and the lung biopsy came back positive so mom starts chemo this Friday. I'm flying down to Houston since I don't want her going through this ordeal without me by her side. Can you please give me an idea as to what to expect, side effects, hair loss? should I get her hair trimmed/buzzed early? Does the hair fall out right away? She is so scared of losing her hair, I think this is causing her more grief than the agony of sitting at the hospital for 6 hours.
She will go through 4 cycles every other week, ideas on how to many time go by fast when we are there, anything and everything will help for me to get an idea as to what to expect and how to deal with the ordeal that is upon us.
Thank you so much in advance.

If Stevens coached a high school team in Indiana, which has its postseason begin today with sectionals kicking off throughout the state, he and his players would not get that opportunity.
"I'd hate to be a (college) football coach," Stevens said. "Because you don't always all get a shot. If I'm coaching in the Mid-American Conference in football, I'm probably not going to get a shot to play for all of the marbles. If I'm coaching in the MAC in basketball, I've got a shot just like everybody else."
Butler has built its reputation over the past two decades on being the less-prominent school that "got a shot," and the Bulldogs have made the most of it. Two trips to the national title game put Stevens and his program in the national sporting consciousness. So it isn't surprising that Stevens isn't a whole-hearted endorser of the IHSAA endorsing multi-class basketball since 1998, which prevents a high school program in this state from duplicating what Butler has become famous for.
"Everybody that played in the single-class era is going to stand up and pound our chest for the single-class era," Stevens said.
However, it is surprising that the top Dawg isn't ready to organize a march up Meridian Street and storm the IHSAA headquarters.
"There are two ways to look at it: Number one is that it sure was special to have the dream of beating everybody," Stevens said. "(Zionsville High School) never could. We won one sectional and it is one of the highlights of my life. We went to a regional and got beaten by a bigger school that was a lot better than us, but we kind of had that chance.
"That being said, I'm starting to come around to the idea of all of the communities getting their time in the sun."Stevens may be ever-so slightly open to the concept of multi-class basketball, but his right-hand man at Butler isn't.
Bulldogs associate head coach Matthew Graves has a better-than-most comprehension of what a talented – yet small – school can achieve.
As a player at White River Valley High School (enrollment today of 283) in southern Indiana in the early 1990s, Graves helped the Wolverines to an incredible amount of success.
"I see its purpose," Graves said of the multi-class system. "I understand why they do it. I absolutely hate it. I feel like everybody has a chance to compete. Some schools have more resources, more people to choose from on their rosters. But at the end of the day, it's five guys going out there and playing together, working together. I just think that there is something special and unique about everybody being given the same opportunity to compete. I really miss the single-class days."
White River Valley advanced to the Evansville Semistate championship game when Graves was a senior after advancing to the regional championship two years prior and the semistate semifinal the year before.
In Graves' senior season (1993), the Wolverines took eventual state champion Jeffersonville to the buzzer before falling 61-59.
Graves sees similarities between his team today and his team of the past.
"There are certainly similarities," Graves explained. "I think you get down to one main point: We always felt that we could beat anybody, any place, any time and we wanted that challenge. We relished that challenge.
"It's no different being here at Butler or playing at White River Valley. Any time that you stepped out on the floor, you felt like you had a chance to win. There is a time to compete, so everybody was ready to go."Though Stevens and Graves had differing levels of emotion behind their stances, both coaches are in step with their desire – in a perfect world – to return to the single-class system.
"If I had a vote, I'd vote for one class," Stevens said. "I don't have a vote, but I am coming around to seeing some positives in the four-class system."

Israel would take part in the 2014 World Cup if the head of international soccer's governing body heeds the suggestion of two U.S. senators to sanction Russia over its Crimea actions.
In a letter earlier this month, Republican senators Mark Kirk of Illinois and Dan Coates of Indiana urged FIFA chair Sepp Blatter to suspend Russia from the World Cup in Brazil as punishment for its takeover of Crimea.
If Russia is banned from participation, its place would be assigned to Israel, which finished third in Group F at the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification, trailing Russia and Portugal.
"In light of Russia's military occupation of a sovereign Ukraine, we respectfully ask that you urgently convene an emergency session of FIFA to consider suspending Russia's membership in FIFA, stripping Russia of the right to host the 2018 World Cup, and denying the Russian National Team the right to participate in the upcoming 2014 World Cup in Brazil," the senators' letter said.
Russia, the letter said, "does not deserve the honour of either hosting the World Cup or participating in one."
According to Article 3 of the FIFA statutes, the letter said, "discrimination of any kind against a country, private person or group of people on account of ethnic origin, gender, language, religion, politics or any other reason is strictly prohibited and punishable by suspension or expulsion."
On March 21, Blatter reiterated that Russia will host the 2018 World Cup, but did not comment on participation in the upcoming World Cup.
During the Balkan crisis, Yugoslavia was banned from playing in both the 1992 European Championship and the 1994 World Cup.
The United States and the European Union already have imposed economic sanctions against Russia following its occupation of Ukrainian military bases and other facilities.

That's very impressive - do you manage to keep it going continuously?
I've been using a little mantra "just be mindful" at regular intervals - this seems to work, though there are still quite a lot of "gaps" in my mindfulness.

H.S. beat: Outside the box
Updated 9:35 pm, Thursday, January 10, 2013
From inside the lines to out, Express-News staff writers Terrence Thomas and Blake Hurtik take a look back and a look ahead at the high school sports landscape.
Figure this
4 - Brennan girls basketball players among the top five rebounders in the area in Class 5A-4A. Tanaeya Boclair leads the area with 10.6 rebounds per game followed by Clark's D'onna Matthews (9.6). The next three are all Brennan: Deja Mason (9.3), Eliza Martinez (9.1) and Kiara Etheridge (8.8).
7 - Days until the UIL allows high school softball teams from across the state to conduct after-school practices. The season begins Feb. 11.
Sports Channel
19 - Area seniors committed to FBS football programs. National signing day is Feb. 6.
49 - Reagan boys soccer team's ranking in the Elite Soccer Report's Top 50 national poll. The Rattlers are the lone area team to make the list.
Odds and ends
Volleyball honors: New Braunfels senior Jessica Waldrip is one of 60 finalists for Prep Volleyball's national player of the year for the class of 2013. A 5-foot-11 setter and the Express-News Player of the Year, she had 1,306 assists, 257 digs, 200 kills and 47 aces in helping the Unicorns advance to the Class 5A state final.
The recognition is the latest for Waldrip, who also was tabbed as the state's top setter by Lone Star Volleyball. Teammate Daniella Villarreal was chosen as the state's top defensive player, while Churchill freshman Abby Buckingham was the website's top newcomer.
Area commitments:

You, Never? Did the Kenosha Kid?
I'm so happy that Butler's doing this. They're not 'my team' (I guess that's IU, though I don't really follow anybody much at all), but it's so cool to see a local team that's 'not supposed to be there' do this, and now TWICE IN A ROW no less. It's exciting as a basketball fan from Indiana. Also cool to see some local (New Castle) boys playing a role as well (Zach Hahn, Chase Stigall).
I can't believe those guys will have been in two NCAA championship games. Unbelievable.
Butler is a team that's difficult not to root for.
Bunch of great guys part of that organization.
I am definitely rooting for Butler.
They've been my college team since I was about 5. Those DAWGS are awesome! with some higher ranked recruits We'll see if Butler can do it again next year.
If Butler loses tomorrow you can thank Kohl's for jinxing them
I'm just trying to figure out why Butler "wasn't supposed to do this" this year....weren't they national runners up last year? Weren't they out of UConn, Kentucky, and VCU the most likely team out of the Final 4 to be there? They're either a legitimate national bball power or cinderella, but they can't be both, and to me, that's what rubs me the wrong way about a lot of Butler fans, they want to be both.
Also, Blue 2, UGA 18 would like to have a chat with you.
That being said, as much as the mascot and some of the fans who want to both wear the glass slipper and call themselves the Duke of the Midwest annoy me, I love the team and the coach. So I'm at a deep conundrum when it comes to Butler basketball and this national championship game this year.

I agree but I think it has to do with the fact they are a midmajor than anything else. Its such a small school (4400 students total) nobody expected them to ever get there once let alone twice.
However you're right they stopped being a Cinderella after last season.
Duke University's undergrad enrollment is only like 6500 I think. Butler's still a private school, but I understand your general point, I just don't think it works that way.
It just rubs me the wrong way, either wear the glass slipper or be the big badass on the block, but don't try to be the big badass who also wears a glass slipper. It's not a good look. I can't tell you the hand fulls of Butler fans I've spoken to in the past week that have used the Cinderella argument and the "Duke of the Midwest" argument in the same discussion. You can't be both.
You've articulated perfectly everything that annoys me about this second Butler run.
I don't understand why it's such a sticking point for you two. It's very rare for a school to go to back-to-back national championship games.
For all our talk about IU's history, they've never done it. (I'm not trying to pick a fight, just a factual statement with no emotional undertones attached)
Then add in the fact that they're a mid-major and it makes it all that much more improbable.
I really don't care about enrollment, because colleges have the power to recruit. (obviously) If Butler wanted too, and had the funds, it could have an enrollment of 1000 and the whole school only be the top notch athletes. Obviously academics wouldn't be worth a darn, but I highly doubt Coach Cal recruits with any mention of academics. (Brandon Knight being the exception)
But it's all about what conference you play in, and our love for the major/BCS conferences. If you're not in a major conference then you suck, or so many seem to think.
I just want their fans to choose. Is this run an improbable Cinderella moment or at they really going to be the Duke of the Midwest...time to choose.
The program itself, the players, the coaches, etc, I think they have all made their choices. Do I think Brad Stevens views this as a fluke? Hell no. The guy is a cocky mother****er and I appreciate that.
Again, they were national runners up last year, they lost Hayward, but added Marshall and kept Howard and Mack and Nored and Vanzant and Hahn, I mean do I need to go on? And yet it's unexpected that their back here? I disagree, a great accomplishment, a rare feat, all of those things are true, but I think those players expected to be here even if their play in November, December, and January didn't exactly inspire those hopes.
Butler wasn't supposed to do this year, because they were never even supposed to do this last year. It wasn't EVER supposed to happen. Then they lost their best player to the draft, and it definitely wasn't supposed to happen again. How many people thought last year was a once-in-a-lifetime situation? Now it has happened twice.
Out of the Final Four teams, there is no way that Butler was the most likely to be there. They were supposed to be there more than a VCU team that probably never should have gotten in the tournament, but definitely not more than UK or UCONN. UK is the 2nd greatest college basketball program ever. UCONN has already won 2 national titles in the past 12 years, and is looking for a 3rd. Was it a surprise that those teams went on such great runs to end the season? Yes. Was it more of a surprise than a Butler team that lost to a terrible Youngstown St. team made it? No chance. It is certainly possible that Butler might wouldn't have even made the tournament themselves if they do not beat Milwaukee on their home floor to win their conference tourney.
Last year was shocking, but it was obvious early on, and throughout the course of the season, that they were just a really good team. This year, that wasn't the case, which makes it even more surprising really.
I think people are taking how special this really is somewhat for granted, because it happened just a year ago.
Marshall was a big addition, and the improvement of Andrew Smith has been huge, but you're forgetting the loss of Willie Veasley. He was a (the?) leader of that team.
They were a team built on defense, and they lost their two best defenders in Hayward and Veasley.
Then they're still Cinderella. Fine, I can live with that. What I can't live with is someone who says "We're on a Cinderella run!" then goes on to say "But we're also the Duke of the Midwest". You can't have it both ways.
It's either a Cinderella run or it's not.
And I still think all the Blue 2 hype is incredibly stupid.
Nored? Nored is/was the best perimeter defender on that squad.
EDIT: Also, yeah Smith coming out of his shell in January is really probably the biggest reason they're here. He's probably the biggest reason Howard hasn't dealt with foul trouble.
Whoever is calling Butler the "Duke of the Midwest" is just flat out wrong to start with. When/if Butler wins multiple championships then people can start making that comparison, but right now that's not even in the ball park, let alone in left field.
Can I ask your feelings towards indiana high school history? How do you view Milan? When everyone talks about what was the beauty of a single class system, Milan is the very first thing that's brought up. Yet everyone seems to forget, or just not know, that they were in the state finals the year before and returned every player from that team.
(I know it's a little of topic, I just think the parallels between the two stories and how they're connected as far as the state and Hinkle is pretty cool)
As long as Butler is a mid-major, they will always be a Cinderella.
Since, I think we're not far apart on this issue at all.
I like the Milan story and I was aware of it's parallels.
My opinion is that Butler's runs here are Cinderella runs that should be appreciated for that, not a sign of a program set up for long term success.
My beef is simply with the fans that want to be both a national power and a cinderella. Oh and Blue 2.
Congrats.. Not really a Butler fan, but great work. Hopefully they win it all and Shelvin Mack/Ronald Nored can shut Kemba down. Maybe next year I'll watch them more often?
Joe .................. what's up with Blue II ??
Another reason Butler was a surprise is that back in January they were really struggling and certainly did not even look like a lock to win their league.
Now with two finals appearances (neither of which will be "vacated") along with conference championships, they have greatly exceeded the accomplishments of the much-hyped "Fab Five"
It would seem some people actively look for things to be annoyed by.
You, Never? Did the Kenosha Kid?
So you're mad that some Butler fans are contradicting themselves and a live mascot? Ok?
I don't think Butler has gotten much better, just that the rest of the NCAA has gotten worse. With high-profile players leaving the "name" programs as one and done's mid-majors are going to continue to improve at the expense of the big schools. I see a future in college basketball where you've got Duke and a bunch of mid-majors competing for the title almost every year, with maybe 2 or 3 name teams that have somehow been able to maintain their current talent for a couple of years.
No way Butler was expected to be back. When making my bracket I picked them to beat PITT and I thought that was a silly pick for me to make. I just hoped they'd make it back because last year's run was so much fun and heartbreaking at the same time.
This is why March Madness is great, I'm not typically a college guy and usually I'd say I go for IU, but since they are irrelevant, it is nice to have a team from my backyard to root for.

I feel like such a big girl. I am finally caught up on reviewing summery nail polish collections and can now start cranking out Fall collections. Wee! I love when OPI does these location-themed collections. I always feel like I know a city a little better without actually going. Which probably sounds crazy but whatev. I received this collection for review and here's the first 6 of 'em.
And I'm in love with them all. Or most of 'em at least.
Peace & Love & OPI is a gorgeous sage and eggplant duochrome. I can't even begin to explain how much I love this polish. Duochromes are everywhere these days so I tried so hard not to be impressed but man, this baby just shines.
Keepin' Suzi At Bay is a rich and creamy bright blue. OPI describes it as a navy blue but I find it to be more of a cobalt blue.
Incognito in Saulsalito is a dark blue that almost looks black at a quick glance. There's nothing special to it but I love a good vampy and dark blue for the cooler months.
Haven't The Foggiest is a foil-y and shimmery silver. Nothing out of the ordinary but somehow it fits in the collection.
Dining Al Frisco is a gorgeous blue with sweet silvery undertones. I'm not sure how unique this is but I love it anyway.
A-Piers To Be Tan is a chocolate-ly tan that I'm on the fence about. I never know how I feel about colors like this. Sometimes I like how they look and other times I'm like "Ewww!"
OVERALL: I applied 3 coats of each polish and didn't have problems with any of them. Peace & Love & OPI really only needed 2 coats but I figured a third wouldn't hurt. Stay tuned for my review of the next 6 of these babies.

HONOLULU (AP) -- Hawaii lawmakers in both the House and Senate have agreed on funding for the state's unfunded liabilities, invasive species control and the charter schools commission, among others.
Members of both the House and Senate met Thursday in a conference committee to debate the state biennium budget, although conference committees aren't scheduled to start until next week.
House Finance Committee Chairwoman Sylvia Luke says it is historic for lawmakers from both chambers to meet so early. She says lawmakers want to avoid last minute changes and have more time to take into account the impact of federal budget cuts.
Ways and Means Committee Chairman David Ige announced Thursday that both chambers have agreed to set aside $100 million for fiscal year 2014 and $117 million for fiscal year 2015 to draw down the state's unfunded liabilities for state employee health benefits.
That exceeds Gov. Neil Abercrombie's request for $100 million a year.
"We believe that the unfunded liabilities should be first and foremost," Ige told reporters after the hearing.
Ige says the committee has decided to fully fund the charter school commission to make sure they have enough resources to hold charter schools accountable.
Lawmakers also decided to dedicate $700,000 for library books and $1.5 million for the Hawaii Invasive Species Council.
Additionally, they set aside money for state property insurance and the Hawaii Health Information Exchange.
Ige says that lawmakers in both chambers have already agreed to about two-thirds of the budget appropriations and are mulling the leftover items.
The mood in the first conference committee meeting was jovial as lawmakers didn't delve into any highly debated topics.
The Democratic senators wore matching blue t-shirts with the words "SD1" indicating the Senate bill they support. Luke joked that the House members of the committee might have a dress code by the end of the session.
Whenever the hearing room door opened, the sounds of a rally for statewide preschool funding could be heard from three floors below. Abercrombie's proposed preschool program is one of several contentious issues that the lawmakers are considering funding.
The committee plans to meet again Friday afternoon to announce more budget decisions. Ige declined to say which items are on the agenda.

AMERICAN CANYON -- City Council members on Tuesday will consider a moratorium on certain Internet cafés whose primary purpose is more like gambling than anything else.
City staff said that having reviewed the operation of Freedom PCS, LLC, on Antonina Avenue, they found that "retail communication products and services may not be the primary business activity. Rather, an Internet café which sells Internet time on phone cards in connection with a promotional sweepstakes is being operated."
Contacted Friday, a store employee insists they "sell phone products, international and domestic phone cards; we do faxing and copying."
The employee was unwilling to say anything further, referring inquiries to his boss, who was not available Friday.
The city questions this employee's characterization of the business.
Computers that offer sweepstakes can be seen as "slot machines" which are illegal in California, according to a staff report.
The community development department staff and the city attorney are researching the issue to determine if what Freedom is doing is legal and, if so, what zoning regulations would be appropriate.
To prevent sweepstakes centers from proliferating in the meantime, "it is necessary through a moratorium, to temporarily suspend Internet Cafés and similar uses within the city of American Canyon," the report notes.
Also on Tuesday, council members will:
* See an update by Sustainable Napa County on the Trellis Business Incubator.
* Consider final adoption of an ordinance adding a new honeybees-raising section to the municipal code.
* Consider accepting Phase II of the Safe Route to School Project as complete. This $211,595 part of the project includes 520 feet of curb, gutter and detached sidewalk and a 4-foot-wide planter strip on the west side of Theresa Avenue to Napa Junction Road.
* Consider approving an Energy Efficiency Climate Action Plan. According to a staff report, Greenhouse Gas Emissions in the city exceeded 49,000 million tons of carbon dioxide in 2005. This increased 22 percent by 2010.
By 2020, the city should have measures in place that reduce these gases by 15 percent less than the 2005 baseline, the staff report says.
* Consider amending the Capital Improvement Program for fiscal year 2012-13 by adding an energy efficiency retrofit project at the Wastewater Treatment Plant and approving a project budget of $438,000 and approving a financial incentive and loan funding agreement with Pacific Gas and Electric Company.
The public part of the meeting is set for 6:30 p.m. at City Hall, 4831 Broadway, Suite 201.

Long Wharf Theatre to Hold 5th Annual Global Health and the Arts Symposium, 1/24-25
According to national statistics, 69 percent of adult Americans are considered overweight or obese. One out of every three children also falls into the same categories. Obesity factors into five of the top ten leading causes of death - heart disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes, and kidney disease, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Twenty-three percent of Connecticut adults are considered obese.
Some leading thinkers on the subject of obesity and its related consequences will gather at Long Wharf Theatre in January 24-25 to discuss this health epidemic at its 5th annual Global Health and the Arts Symposium, led by Event Chair David Scheer, president of Scheer & Company and a member of Long Wharf Theatre's Board of Trustees, and Co-Chair Kelly Brownell, director of Yale's Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity.
The conference is presented in conjunction with the world premiere of January Joiner: A Weight Loss Horror Comedy by Laura Jacqmin, directed by Associate Artistic Director Eric Ting. The play runs through February 10.
The Global Health and the Arts initiative, a unique offering in the theatre industry, is built on the premise that in our attempt to understand THE working of our own bodies and minds, as well as to address the policies surrounding the key health issues of our time, we need both science and the arts. Over the course of the two day panel experts will discuss obesity's causes, both genetics and environmental, the consequences, and possible treatments.
Among those speaking at the event will be Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-New Haven; Peter Salovey, Provost, Chris Argyris Professor of Psychology, President-Elect of Yale University; Kelly D. Brownell, Director of the Yale Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity; Margaret Grey, Dean, Annie Goodrich Professor, Yale University School of Nursingp; Oklahoma City Mayor Mike Cornett; Jeanette R. Ickovics, Professor of Epidemiology and Psychology, Yale School of Public Health; and Long Wharf Theatre Artistic Director Gordon Edelstein. Dozens of other speakers from all aspects of academia, public health research, and the pharmaceutical industry will be in attendance as well.
Art as a response to the issues of obesity will be featured as well. Scenes from the plays The Whale, by Sam Hunter, Fat Pig by Neil LaBute, and Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner, by Luis Alfaro will be presented, serving to bring the emotional realities of the illness to the scientific discourse.
For more information about the event or to register, contact Kathy Cihi, Special Events Manager at firstname.lastname@example.com or by calling 203-772-8234.

Well, I haven't been posting much lately, but that doesn't mean I haven't been lurking in the shadows all season long. I always enjoy coming here and reading everyones thoughts on all things Pacers. I'm not on the inside track, but I've been visiting PD for a while now, and it's still one of my top internet destinations.
Anyway, I figure I'll get a few things off my chest today, just for the record.
1. The season.
Wow. What a freakin' roller coaster that was. From the pre-season hype over Al Harrington to the off court problems with guns and fights to the 'trade', wow, some ride. The 'tank' was the straw that broke the camel's back. The icing on the cake. I'm glad that battle is over, but our war has just begun. It blows to be in no-man's land. Seriously, this is shameful. We're up the lottery without a pick. (unless of course, we get top three of course).
2. The 'Trade'.
Being out in NorCal, I get to see all the Warriors games on TV locally. Man, it's been tough. I actually like the Warriors a little, and after the trade, they have become so fun to watch. Wow. Seeing the way they ended the season, peaking at the right time, it's been both fun and painful. I'm stoked for the fanbase out here, and for the team, finally ending this crazy long playoff drought. Obviously, bringing Al and Jax to the team helped spark some much needed life into the squad, BUT, I feel that the exit of Murphleavy did just as much or more for the Warriors. The fans hated Dunleavy out here, justified or not, he just wasn't appreciated, mostly cause he never lived up to his draft hype.
I remember seeing the Pacers beat the Warriors at Oracle Arena in the 05/06 season. Great game, with Jax basically winning the game for us. I talked to a fan at the game about the rumored trades for Murphy at the time. I didn't want him then, and I didn't like that we traded for him this year.
So, I know Jax had to go this year. It was time. But I think the 4 player trade was a huge bust. Dunleavy has potential, but does he have 'clutch' potential? does he have 'closer' potential??? I don't see it. I like the guy, I'm sure he's a nice guy, but I don't know if I want him taking the last second 3 pointer.
I'm glad that Runi is gone, but I would've much rather seen Jax packaged up with Tinsley this year. MUCH rather. I advocated the trading of Tinsley last year, and I still advocate the trading of Tinsley now. Even if we would've taken a hit, I'd have rather taken my chance on keeping Al for another season than keeping Tin. Maybe Al had an attitude, but dang, half a season isn't much time to gel. Alright, so, sour grapes. It's done, it's over. I won't say anymore about the players that are gone.
3. Jermain O'Neal.
Damn. I have always loved JO. He's a great guy, he's been through alot with the Pacers. I do feel for his problems, and his injuries. I feel for the crap he's had to deal with. But he hasn't been alone. Everyone with the Pacers has had to deal with adversity. It happens. Ok, so the Pacers have had far more than their share these past few years. Like one long painful nightmare. However, JO wants to win. I don't think JO alone can lead the team to win the title. They had a window, but it's closed. JO and Tinsley aren't going to get it done. So, either big trades need to happen to compete with JO now, or he needs to ship out. I hate to say it, but I believe it's true. And I'll always be a JO fan, and I hope that someday he can get his ring, either here or there. But, he's not entitled to a ring, just as Reggie wasn't.
4. Coach Carlisle.
Ok, been a great run Rick. I've rooted for you and stuck by you. However, I now realize that you don't have enough fire, enough in your face drive, to capture the team and lead them all the way. (show me some passion damnit - get angry - yell, scream, kick - curse - passion - ok, not always, but sometime please) Ok, maybe someday you'll get to the finals, IF you keep coaching, that is. Perhaps you'll step off into the front office and that's where you'll stay with your pal Bird. We'll see real soon. Anyway, it sucks to have to leave as coach on such a sour note. But it's time for fresh blood on the sideline. This team has hit rock-bottom, and that means it's time to really change course. Another .500 season and out of the first round isn't going to cut it. I'd rather see a slow build up with new blood. That said, if you are still around, I'll be surprised and I guess we'll have to accept that.
5. Front office.
Wow, this is looking bad for them. Will be very interesting to see how the Simons react to this. Will Donny be back? Will Bird and Carlisle be scouting together as behind the scenes guys or what? Personally, I would suggest that it's time for Walsh to take a breather, BUT - if that means Bird takes his place, I'm not sure he's up to it honestly.
6. Tinsley.
7. Murphy or Dunleavy.
Trade one of them if at all possible.
8. Granger.
Give him another year to mature before letting him go if possible.
9. Daniels.
Can he stay healthy next season or is he gonna be a bench warmer next year too?
10. Now, some words of encouragement.
Life is hard. Life lessons come even harder. I know from experience, that sometimes it takes the hardest knock before you right the ship and get back on course. Life is about cycles. Periods of prosperity and periods of decline. It's often darkest before the dawn, and so forth, etc. So, if we are at our low point (let's hope we don't sink lower yet, but it's possible) -then we can look forward to better times ahead. A good rattle, a good shakeup - is just what this team needed once the tank had happened. Getting into the playoffs wouldn't given too much false hope. Not getting in is the best thing for this team. So, let us sit back, and watch the wheels of the Pacer organization continue to turn, and hope that all the changes that take place between now and the next season will be good ones.
Meanwhile, I'll be enjoying the Playoffs. Rooting for the Suns and the Warriors !

Uecker, Brewers mourn loss of Haig
CHICAGO -- The Brewers and Hall of Fame broadcaster Bob Uecker on Monday were mourning the death of former team and WTMJ radio executive Bill Haig.
Haig, who served as Brewers vice president of broadcast operations from 1980 to his retirement in 1997, passed away Saturday at 78.
"Bill was really one of the giants in the world of Wisconsin radio," Uecker said in a statement. "Between the Brewers and WTMJ, everyone knew Bill and respected his contributions to the industry. He was a key member of the Brewers staff for so many years, but more importantly he was a good friend and family man. Our thoughts are with his wife, Naomi, their children, and all of Bill's family. He will be missed."
It was during Haig's tenure as general manager of WTMJ-AM 620 that the station became the Brewers' flagship. He was inducted to the Wisconsin Broadcasters Hall of Fame after retiring from the Brewers in 1997.

Printed on the occasion of the 2007 exhibition 'Damien Hirst: Beyond Belief' at White Cube, Mason's Yard and Hoxton Square. In this exhibition, Hirst continued to explore the fundamental themes of human existence – life, death, truth, love, immortality and art itself. For the Love of God is a life-size cast of a human skull in platinum, covered entirely by 8,601 VVS to flawless pavé-set diamonds, weighing a total of 1,106.18 carats. It is without precedent in the history of art. On one level, the work is a traditional 'Memento Mori', an object that addresses the transience of human existence. 'The skull is out of this world, celestial almost' writes the distinguished art historian Rudi Fuchs. 'It proclaims victory over decay. At the same time', Fuchs continues, 'it represents death as something infinitely more relentless. Compared to the tearful sadness of a vanitas scene, the diamond skull is glory itself.'
Excerpt from exhibition text © Rudi Fuchs, 2007, courtesy White Cube Gallery
Damien Hirst was born in Bristol in 1965. He first came to public attention in 1988 when he conceived and curated 'Freeze', an exhibition of his own work and that of his contemporaries at Goldsmiths college, staged in a disused London warehouse. Since this time Hirst has become widely recognised as one of the most influential artists of his generation.
Through a varied practise of installation, sculpture, painting and drawing Hirst has sought to explore the complex relationship between art, life and death. Alongside over 80 solo exhibitions he has worked on numerous curatorial projects. In 2008, Hirst took the unprecedented step of bypassing gallery involvement in selling 244 new works at a Sotheby's, London auction entitled 'Beautiful Inside My Head Forever'.
Hirst was awarded the Turner Prize in 1995 and his contribution to British art over the last two and a half decades has been acknowledged in a major solo retrospective exhibited at Tate Modern, London. He lives in Devon and has studios in Gloucester and London.

But I don't like it, and here are 10 reasons why.
First, the competition is stiffening. General Motors (GM) and Volkswagen lately have added to their worldwide market share, and Toyota (TM) is likely to climb back from a drop caused by the Japanese tsunami and a sudden-acceleration problem.
Second, Ford's debt is nearly eight times stockholders' equity. Yes, I know that Ford borrows to help finance the purchase of its cars, but borrowing for a good reason doesn't change the fact that its debt is substantial.
Third, the quarterly dividend of a nickel is skimpy, and the dividend yield of 1.6% is nothing to write home about.
Fourth, Ford's revenues are expected to decline slightly this year, and to rise only mildly in 2013.
Fifth, analysts estimate Ford will earn $1.34 a share this year, less than it earned in 2011, which was less than in earned in 2010.
Sixth, Ford has a minuscule market share in China, while GM and Volkswagen are both strong there. China is competing with the U.S. for status as the world's largest car market.
Seventh, Ford shares sell for 0.4x revenue. Does that sound like a bargain multiple? It isn't, not in the world of auto manufacturers. Over the past 10 years, Ford's average price/revenue ratio was 0.17, so it's now more than double its historic average.
Eighth, the stock's popularity with analysts could backfire. When analytical opinion is too positive, it's difficult for a stock to get a boost from ratings shifts.
Ninth, Ford has declined in the latest annual ratings of quality by Consumer Reports. (I think highly of the magazine's testing procedures and ratings. Not coincidentally, I was executive editor of the publication from 1984 to 1986.)
Finally, Ford has had several recalls in the past year. This month the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced it is intensifying an investigation into the possibility that loose floor mats in three Ford models may produce unintended sudden acceleration by jamming the accelerator pedal.
I am not a completely disinterested observer in assessing Ford. I own shares of General Motors personally and for clients. I also own shares of two auto-parts makers and one replacement tire maker. I have no position, long or short, in Ford shares.

A Beaten-Down Stock in an Up Market
While the markets flirt with record highs, attractive stock prices are harder to come by. The list of 52-week lows is fraction of what it was a year ago or even six months ago. What remain on the 52-week-low list are mainly names that don't offer compelling prospects, such as several gold-mining stocks and other names that have a knack for consistent unprofitably. But some battered names are sitting at or near 52-week lows whose compelling stories could lead to superior returns.
As a result of several acquisitions, Digital Generation (DGIT) has become the world's leading ad management and distribution platform. Its technology is considered first rate, and when it acquired MediaMind, Digital Generation became one of the main players in online advertising distribution. Earlier this week, Digital reported earnings that included a $230 million impairment charge. In addition, the company announced that it had concluded its strategic review process without any satisfactory offers. This one-two punch sent shares down nearly 30% to an all-time low of $7 a share.

Daily Prayer 2004-12-02
Listen to podcast version here.
December 2, 2004Thursday of the First Week of Advent Father
John Doyle, LCMatthew 7:21, 24-27Jesus said to his disciples: "Not
everyone who says to me, ´Lord, Lord,´ will enter the
kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the
will of my Father in heaven. "Everyone who listens to
these words of mine and acts on them will be
like a wise man who built his house on rock.
The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew
and buffeted the house, but it did not collapse; it
had been set solidly on rock. And everyone who listens
to these words of mine but does not act on
them will be like a fool who built his house
on sand. The rain fell, and the floods came, and
the winds blew and buffeted the house, and it collapsed
and was completely ruined.Introductory Prayer:Lord Jesus I place myself before
you. Assist me with your Holy Spirit to hear and
put into practice Gods will so that I will build
my future and this day with you. I am sure
that I will be buffeted and blown about by trial,
but I am also certain that you will be my
sure support through it all.Petition :Lord God, grant me great
sincerity in my life so that I will really be
what I profess to be: an authentic Christian.1. Authentic Faith.
A leader of the Protestant Reformation who believed in the
sole necessity of faith for salvation once declaredfor the sake
of making a point, sin hard, but believe harder and
you will be saved. This is certainly not the same
kind of faith that Our Lord is referring to in
this parable. How can we claim to believe in Jesus
and not obey his commandments? How can we call upon
the name of the Lord and ask him to come
into our heart and rule there while making a non-aggression
pact with sin in our life? So if salvation comes
through faith, then faith implies obedience. If your faith doesnt
affect the way you live, then it really isnt faith
at all but some inexpensive substitute. 2. Building on Rock.
If we lived in a truly Christian society then maybe
it would be easy to lay the foundations for our
spiritual life. As it is however, we can expect that
no matter how calm things may seem, hurricanes are always
just around the corner. To weather the storm we need
to be anchored fast. What are the foundations on which
Christ invites us to build the edifice of our life?
Obedience to Christs teaching is the key aspect here. As
we listen and put Christs teaching into practice, we will
engender virtue, until Christian living becomes like a second nature
to us. Is there some aspect of Christs teaching that
I dont put into practice? How can I grow in
virtue?3. Building on Sand. Sadly enough inauthentic examples of Christian
living abound throughout society. A number of good people claim
to have found a way to make Christianity compatible with
a comfortable beach life. They lay one beam after another
on the shifting sands of their feelings, inclinations and the
opinions of those around them. Such people are personally opposed
to many evils but are unwilling to stand up against
anyone of them. Little by little they allow sin to
take root even while never completely abandoning external practices of
piety. In the end however all the illusions of stability
will be shaken and the true state of things will
be revealed. Have I become too comfortable in living my
Christian commitments? Am I afraid to stand up for the
truth? Dialogue with Christ: Lord Jesus I dont want to
be a Christian in name only. I want my faith
to be a reality that affects my whole life and
every aspect of it. Help me to lay the foundations
that will make me a better follower of yours.Resolution: I
propose today to practice a virtue that I find difficult.

Cuddyer joins club on road trip
LOS ANGELES -- Rockies outfielder-first baseman Michael Cuddyer, who sustained a left hamstring injury on April 17, accompanied the team on its road trip, and reported not bad news or good news. Just no news.
"Every day kind of feels the same," said Cuddyer, batting .317 with three home runs and 10 RBIs in 16 games. "It's obviously not good to not have improvement, but, at the same time, it's not worse."
Cuddyer said he hasn't lost strength, but the catching sensation prevents him from running. When he first sustained the injury, he didn't expect to have to go to the DL, but at least he is happy the injury was limited to the ligament area and was not in the main part of the muscle.

Airlines jostle over Virgin stakes
Singapore Airlines and Etihad are expected to place greater urgency on raising their stakes in Virgin Australia to as much as 20 per cent each to bolster their influence in the Australian market.
The renewed speculation about a shuffle of Virgin's share register follows Singapore Airlines confirming it is in talks about selling part or all of its 49 per cent stake in British airline Virgin Atlantic to the largest US carrier, Delta.
Singapore Airlines has been seeking to sell the stake for years, allowing it to place greater focus on its immediate interests in the Asia-Pacific region.
Singapore Airlines gained a 10 per cent stake in Virgin Australia last month, and insiders say it is likely to raise its holding further as it jostles with Etihad and Air New Zealand for influence. All three airlines also have strategic alliances with Australia's second-largest airline.
"Singapore have always been looking for a stranglehold in this market. [A larger stake in Virgin] might be a path to that," an airline executive said.
The prospect of three airlines with stakes of almost 20 per cent each will present a major challenge for Virgin in managing their competing interests.
The most likely flashpoint is an overlap between Singapore Airlines and Etihad on code-share flights with Virgin between Australia and Europe.
So far, Virgin Australia has resisted giving either of the three airlines seats on its board, in order to avoid what one airline executive said would be a "shambolic situation".
"But Virgin is going to have to invest a lot more time in managing these [airline shareholders] because there are no representatives at board level," the executive said. "This delicate balancing act is going to be a full-time job."
Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Group has two seats on the Australian airline's board.
The English entrepreneur is considered unlikely to sell his entire stake of about 23 per cent in Virgin Australia unless a buyer is willing to pay a hefty premium to the share price of 44c.
After a turbulent few years, he stands to make gains from his investment in Virgin as it reshapes itself as an upmarket competitor to Qantas.
While there have been suggestions Singapore Airlines could buy part of Sir Richard's stake, insiders say a more likely scenario is a purchase of Virgin shares on-market. Singapore Airlines can buy only another 9.99 per cent of Virgin without having to launch a full takeover offer.
A Singapore Airlines spokesman said it was "comfortable with the 10 per cent [stake] at this stage".
Etihad has made it clear that it wants to build a larger stake in Virgin. It has to reapply to the Foreign Investment Review Board each time it wants to raise its stake by another 5 percentage points.
Delta's talks about buying Singapore Airline's cornerstone stake in Virgin Atlantic also triggered speculation it might have an interest in investing in Virgin Australia.
Although it has a code-share alliance with Virgin Australia on the US-Australia route, three people close to the airlines said they did not believe Delta was likely to be interested in buying an equity stake because the Australian market represented just a tiny part of its global network.
Delta has just one flight a day between the US and Australia.

Archery in the Schools Tournament Set for Feb. 27 in Waco
AUSTIN, Texas — The 4th Annual Texas-National Archery in the Schools Program (TASP) Tournament will take place Feb. 27 at the Waco Convention Center. Rising attendance at this yearly culminating event for participating Texas schools charts the program's increasing popularity.
The first TASP tournament in Texas took place in February 2006, with 126 students representing 13 schools. The third annual championship last March drew 476 students, and attendance at this year's tournament is expected to approach 700 students, teachers and parents.
Changing lives one arrow at a time
Since the National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP) came to Texas in September of 2004, organizers have trained more than 900 archery instructors at all three levels-Instructor, Trainer, and Specialist-including more than 400 classroom educators at 200 plus schools across Texas.
Since the national program's inception in Kentucky seven years ago, it is now established in 46 states and four other countries. On May 8-9, 2009 the 8th annual national tournament will be held in Louisville, Kentucky. The 2008 NASP national tournament was the largest archery event in the history of North America, with 2,865 participants.
Last school-year across the nation, 866,000 school children in grades 4-12 received archery instruction from their teachers and an estimated 1 million will participate this year. This makes NASP the most successful youth archery program in history. The program expects to be operating in every U.S. state by the end of 2009.
NASP lessons are taught by physical education teachers with a focus on international-style target archery. The program teaches a lifetime skill in a controlled, safe environment. Universal fit NASP equipment is useable by all 4th — 12th grade children and teachers, and is durable, affordable and identical in appearance and function. In order to meet and enhance student learning and accountability standards, many schools integrate archery into core content areas such as math, science, and history.
NASP is intended for all students regardless of athletic ability or experience. Accommodations are routinely made for physically challenged students.
"Although we just began the NASP this year, it has had a tremendous impact on our school district," said Brian Gray, school superintendent with Union Grove ISD based in Gladewater in northeast Texas. "The participation levels are through the roof and the program is allowing our staff to teach kids about how to be successful in life, while promoting a lifelong activity."
On Target for Life
NASP certified training is mandatory for all instructors. As states move to implement the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 2002 ("No Child Left Behind") and engage more students in the learning process, education administrators will be trying to close achievement gaps among students of different racial, ethnic, and economic backgrounds. The creators of NASP intend for all students to be given an equal opportunity to learn, practice, and excel dependent on individual effort and practice. The NASP philosophy of standardized equipment, training, and implementation is intended to assure that there is "no child left behind."
Basic Archery Instructors (BAI) may attend a one-day training or those Instructors wishing for more advanced training may attend a three-day training workshop and become a Basic Archery Instructor Trainer (BAIT.) Advanced training is offered during the first two days of the workshop for participants familiar with archery fundamentals, range setup and coaching techniques. It is designed for those who want to train teachers statewide in the program. The third day focuses on basic level Instructor training specifically for teachers wanting to use the program within their school curricula-primarily physical education, agriculture science and outdoor education courses.
Toyota is the primary sponsor of TX-NASP and the program is part of the state's hunter and bowhunter education efforts, programs that are supported from the sales of archery equipment through "Federal Assistance in Wildlife Restoration" efforts.
More information about the Texas program is available from Burnie Kessner, archery coordinator with Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, at firstname.lastname@example.com or (979) 862-7341. Information is also online on the TPWD Web site and on the National Archery in the Schools Program Web site.

MORAGA, Calif. -- Last week, junior Mac McClung achieved one of his pre-season goals - winning his first collegiate golf tournament. Today, the Fremont native can chalk-up another milestone as he was honored as the Saint Mary's Student-Athlete of the Week.
McClung blew away the competition at last week's Firestone Invitational in Akron, Ohio. He shot two of the best rounds of his college career and finished with rounds of 71-66-68 for an 11-under par 205 and defeated second-place Chase Wright of Indiana by four strokes.
He also led the Gaels to a tie for their second tournament victory in just four events in the young season. Saint Mary's returns to action next week at the Cabo Collegiate in San Jose del Cabo, Mexico.
"Mac played really well last week and he deserved to be honored as the SMC Student-Athlete of the Week," said Saint Mary's Golf Coach Scott Hardy. "He simply dominated the competition and, as the tournament went on, his confidence grew. Everyone is really happy for Mac and I think you'll see more great things from him this season."
McClung has played in all four events for the Gaels this season and has the second-lowest stroke average on the team. At Firestone, he registered 16 birdies and just five bogeys over the 54 holes to earn his first collegiate win, something he mentioned as a goal in a recent Gaels Spotlight on SMCGaels.com.

HERSHEY-The North Platte St. Pat's girls' basketball team held off a furious second half rally by Hershey on Saturday to win 54-47 in a battle of two the top ranked teams in Class C2.
Hershey (3-1), the No. 2-ranked team in C2 by the Omaha World-Herald, got out to an 8-3 lead three minutes into the game after a layup by Brooke Frederick.
But the rest of the first half belonged to No. 3-ranked St. Pat's (3-0). The Irish went up 11-10 after Brook Boucher made a three-pointer with two minutes left in the first quarter.
After Jenna Young made a baseline jumper to briefly give Hershey back the lead, Mandy O'Malley hit a three for the Irish to make it 14-12 at the end of the first quarter.
On the opening possession of the second quarter, Samantha Byrn made a three-point play to give St. Pat's a five-point lead and then on the next trip up the floor for the Lady Irish, Boucher made a runner to close out the 8-0 run.
St. Pat's expanded the lead to double figures at 25-15 when Shelby Allberry made a pair of free throws that followed buckets by O'Malley and Brittany Lawrence.
The Irish then stayed in control the rest of the first half and they took a 34-20 lead into the locker room after Lawrence scored inside just before the buzzer.
The 14-point lead was a result of two things. The presence of Lawrence and Allberry inside, and the play of St. Pats' guards in transition.
"We really wanted to attack inside," Stienike said. "We wanted to get it to Brittany in the paint. When we ran our offense, we wanted to pound them with her."
"I was real happy with how we started but I didn't like our transition in the first half," said Hershey coach Jeremy Thomas. "We didn't get back and St. Pat's just killed us in transition."
The Lady Irish led as much as 17 early in the second half before the Panthers started to rally with its full-court press.
With just under three minutes left in the third quarter, Hershey pulled within 41-31 after a layup by Maddie Seamann that followed a Tayler Baker three.
Then Daynlee Miller drained another trey to make it a seven-point game. It became five with 1:15 left in the third after Seamann made a pair of free throws.
St. Pat's scored the last basket of the third with O'Malley driving for a layup to make it 43-36 going into the fourth.
"In the third quarter, we got the 17 point lead down to six and I am proud of how the girls played," Thomas said. "We showed a lot of tenacity on defense and we were sharing the ball on offense.
The Irish pushed the lead back up to 10 in the first minute of the fourth. But the Lady Panthers went on a 9-3 run and pulled to within four.
It was the closest Hershey got. Allberry and Maegan Hiatt traded a couple of free throws and then with a minute and a half left, Allberry hit a jumper just inside the three-point arc to make it 53-47.
St. Pat's then kept the Panthers from scoring the rest of the way to hold on and win over its arch-rival.
"In the last three minutes, we had some shots we didn't make," said Thomas. "I would have liked to have seen us go to the basket more and not shoot so many threes. But I am proud of our effort, overall. St. Pat's played very well and we're looking forward to playing them many times this year."
Although Hershey took it to the Irish in the second half, Stienike said that his team did a good job on the boards, which helped it weather the storm.
"There's no quit in Hershey and we all knew that," he said. "It was a good thing we had such a big lead. They really picked up the pressure on defense. They had the momentum. But the main thing is we kept rebounding."
