But I digress. Back to Rand Paul. He's obviously moderating his image — successfully. He seems reasonable, calm and thoughtful. But he leaves room for the suspicion that there's a more aggressive agenda behind the facade. But that agenda is less scary. Whereas the typical Republican often talks in a way that fuels (unwarranted) fears of theocracy and the Handmaid's Tale, there's something about the way Rand Paul talks that fuels the suspicion he'd actually be much more libertarian than he lets on. Of course, that suspicion is one reason why conservative hawks distrust him so much and leftwing doves give him so much of a pass. But when it comes to domestic policy, he gives the impression that if he actually got his hands on the levers of power he'd just leave us alone.
Because his rise fuels a narrative the media loves — civil war on the right — Paul's libertarianism will be treated as charming and harmless for a while more. The fact that the left likes his foreign policy dovishness and the "neocons" don't also makes him a useful foil for some liberals. But you can be sure that if he got real power and influence within the party or if he were the actual GOP nominee, his charming libertarianism would instantaneously terrify a lot of people. But for now, it all works for him.

Another Entry Signal to Consider
My trading background is primarily as a technician. In the growth methodology that I was taught, technical strength (as in rallying to new highs) was the primary consideration when making a stock purchase. Over the past couple of years, as I've begun employing other fundamental and technical analysis tools, I've changed my view of where the most appropriate buy points occur.
For example, I now scan for 200-day support as a possible entry-point signal, something I never did when I was primarily focused on small- and mid-cap growth trading. For large-caps with a longer potential holding period, it often makes sense to enter when the stock sees support at that longer-term moving average....392 more words left in this article.

You may have noticed this new acronym popping up on some of our products. RoHS stands for Restrictions on Hazardous Substances, and it's a directive that could have a huge impact on the production and disposal of consumer electronics. First adopted in Europe in 2006 (and later adopted in California in 2007), RoHS restricts the use of six dangerous substances in lots of common electronics. According to the official RoHS compliance Web site (www.rohs.eu), the RoHS symbol indicates that "new electrical and electronic equipment put on the market does not contain any of the six banned substances: lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, poly-brominated biphenyls (PBB) or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE), in quantities exceeding maximum concentration values."
While some military and medical equipment is exempt from RoHS compliance, the electronics governed by the standard are among the most common you'll find in your home, from radios to MP3 players to cell phones and (increasingly) computers. In practical terms, the standard protects factory workers at the production level, sharply reducing their exposure to hazardous substances. The standard also has a profound impact on the disposal and recycling of electronics, in that disposed substances will no longer have at least six of the most hazardous chemicals formerly found in electronics, and recycled electronics will not expose workers to toxics as they harvest components.
You can charge your iPhone® and other phones with this standard USB port adapter, the CC Solar Observer and your cell phone's USB charging cable. With a full CC Solar Observer battery or by cranking you will be able to get up to 40 minutes of talk time on your cell phone.

Farrell: Bogaerts working hard to break out of slump
HOUSTON -- Xander Bogaerts is putting the work in, manager John Farrell said, but that doesn't mean it's translating to in-game success.
It's not so much a matter of the work Bogaerts is putting in, either. It's more about the pressure of needing to snap out of his hitting slump and whether or not to trust the changes he's trying to make.
"There's a lot of early work going on," Farrell said. "Where it seemingly hasn't gained traction yet is taking it into games. Not uncommon for guys to revert back to some of the old habits even though they're working on some things currently. That's what we see Xander going through right now."
Entering Saturday's game, Bogaerts had nine hits in his past 100 at-bats for a .090 average with 31 strikeouts. On June 3, Bogaerts was hitting .304 after going 2-for-4 with a homer against the Indians. After going 0-for-4 Friday against the Astros, he was hitting .234 and has hit one homer since the June 3 game.
The rookie infielder finally showed some signs of breaking out of the slump, going 2-for-4 with two singles in the Red Sox's 3-2 loss to the Astros. Bogaerts said the difference Saturday was that he was swinging at strikes rather than chasing balls, which he said he had been doing.
"I just tried to go up there, tried to hit the ball hard," Bogaerts said. "Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't."
"He's still not fully on time," Farrell said. "Hopefully today's a little bit of a confidence boost for him and starts to get him going a little more consistently."
On Wednesday, Farrell decided to pinch-hit for Bogaerts in the eighth inning with the Red Sox trailing by one run with two runners on base and two outs. With two outs and runners in scoring position, Bogaerts is hitting .081 this season.
Farrell was asked Saturday about how he weighs what's best for Bogaerts against what's best for the Red Sox.
"What's right for our team long term is to get a productive Xander Bogaerts," Farrell said. "Keep in mind we've done some things recently here in a pinch-hit situation to look to win a ballgame. That may be the case going forward, but we don't lose sight that we still have confidence and know he's going to be an impact player."
Farrell said Bogaerts' attitude has remained positive during the stretch, but added that he's a conscientious player with a strong desire to do well, causing some of the ebbing and flowing of his confidence based purely off result.
"Part of that is not only trusting his work that's going on but slowing the game down mentally," Farrell said. "There's the competitive spirit inside of everyone that says you want to get it done right now, and sometimes that's when the reverting back to old habits take over, and we're working through that right now."

Monterey County is running low on homes to sell.
The number of properties for sale, which industry folks call inventory, has dropped to nearly half of what it was two years ago.
Real estate agents say the reason for the change is a combination of recession-era foreclosed properties being quickly snapped up, stalled developments, water issues and a "momentum" of buyers motivated by low-interest loans.
"The demand has come up and supply is starting to drop," said Tim Allen, of Tim Allen Properties in Carmel.
There were 2,418 homes for sale in 2008 when foreclosed properties and short sales flooded the market, according to the Multiple Listing Service. Now, there are just 857 homes for sale in the county.
The market has been great for sellers. Total sales and average prices were up last year from 2011. Homeowners typically got what they asked for, or more.
"It's definitely positive," Monterey County Association of Realtors President Arleen Hardenstein said. "Buyers want to buy ... I think lack of inventory is the main challenge we are facing right now," said Hardenstein, an agent at Bratty and Bluhm in Pacific Grove.
Kim DiBenedetto, a Coldwell Banker Del Monte Realty agent who sells homes all over the county, said in the last three months of 2012 she was getting three to seven offers on many of her properties.
"That means there are two to six buyers that don't get a house," she said.
The biggest average sales price increases were in Carmel Highlands, Carmel Valley and Seaside/Sand City.
DiBenedetto said the valley, where the average sales price increased by $114,274, was a "hot area of growth."
The biggest drops were in Pebble Beach, the Monterey Salinas Highway area and Carmel.
Judith Profeta, owner of Alain Pinel Realtors in Carmel in Carmel and Pebble Beach, said Pebble Beach's average sales price dropped by $114,209 because lower-end homes "sold like hot cakes."
She said the average low-end home in Pebble Beach was about $700,000.
North Salinas continued to have the most homes sold, 555, but Pacific Grove had the biggest single increase with 44 more homes sold this year.
DiBenedetto said Pacific Grove is popular with homeowners because it is "a charming town" and has a good school district.
The biggest drops in homes sold, which appeared to be brought on by decreased inventories, were East Salinas, Seaside/Sand City and South Monterey County.
For now, Profeta said it is a healthy balance between a buyers' and sellers' market.
She said it would not be a good idea to start construction on a bunch of homes.
"New housing starts are good, but not masses of new houses," she said, "because that's what dilutes the market."
Yet she said people on the fence about buying homes should act before it becomes a full-blown sellers' market.
"They're not going to have such great choices after a little while," she said.

A 1988 graduate of CU-Boulder with a Bachelor of Arts degree, Ells opened the first Chipotle in 1993 in Denver. Under Ells' direction, the company -- often recognized for its commitment to using ingredients from producers of naturally raised meats and organic and locally grown produce -- has grown substantially since its founding to nearly 1,100 restaurants today.
Ells has been profiled in numerous publications including Time, Forbes, Business Week and The Wall Street Journal. He also is a judge on the NBC series "America's Next Great Restaurant." He graduated from the Culinary Institute of America in 1990. Born in Indianapolis, his family later moved to Colorado, and he graduated from Boulder High School.
During the ceremony, 5,897 degrees will be conferred. Degrees to be awarded include 4,593 bachelor's degrees, 884 master's degrees, 164 law degrees and 256 doctoral degrees.
Stadium gates will open at 7 a.m. and guests are urged to be in their seats by 8:15 a.m. University officials recommend that people arrive as early as possible to avoid traffic delays. The ceremony is free and open to the public.
Guests are asked not to bring large purses or bags to the ceremony. People entering the stadium may be subject to search. The ceremony will be held outdoors in the stadium regardless of the weather. However, in the event of heavy rain or snow an abbreviated ceremony will be held.
Each spring the commencement ceremony begins with a procession of faculty and all graduates starting at the Norlin Quadrangle at 8 a.m. and ending at Folsom Field.
Many departments within CU-Boulder's schools and colleges will hold events to personally recognize their graduates. Students should check with their individual departments for more information. For a schedule of individual ceremonies visit commencement.colorado.edu/ceremonies/spring/other-events/.

Monsanto executives described the discovery of genetically-modified wheat growing in an Oregon farmer's field this spring an "isolated occurrence."
During a conference call with reporters on Wednesday, Monsanto officials said the company has tested 31,200 seed samples in Oregon and Washington since the May 29 announcement of the GM wheat sprouts. They found no evidence of contamination in the tests, and said the GM wheat found last month was likely the result of an accident or deliberate mixing of seeds. They are not ruling out sabotage.
"We're considering all options and that's certainly one of the options," says Robb Fraley, Monsanto chief technology officer.
Fraley said Monsanto provided a test to other countries that could "fingerprint" the exact variety of wheat that carried the GM gene, and it is awaiting samples from the U.S. Department of Agriculture or the Oregon farmer to test for the exact variety that emerged.
Monsanto is a $13.5 billion St. Louis-based company with revenues anchored in sales of GM corn, soybean and cotton seeds that have been engineered to survive applications of Monsanto's Roundup, the world's top-selling herbicide.
Officials estimate that 90 percent or more of U.S. soybeans and 80 percent of U.S. corn are "Roundup Ready," or genetically modified. The success of those crops led Monsanto to begin work on GM wheat, but the company ended the program nine years ago when executives determined resistance to GM crops by consumers and export customers would hurt demand for the seed.
Since that time, Monsanto has come under increasing criticism for its role in developing and marketing GM crops. Several countries ban the use of GM crops, claiming the risks to humans are unknown.
Other critics and many activists claim food made from GM crops are dangerous to human health, and Monsanto is regularly singled out as an "evil corporation." For instance, NaturalNews.com published results from an online survey in January, 2011 in which 51 percent of respondents called Monsanto the "Most Evil Corporation of the Year." NaturalNews Network is owned and operated by Truth Publishing International, Ltd., a Taiwan corporation, that claims to cover topics that "empower individuals to make positive changes in their health, environmental sensitivity, consumer choices and informed skepticism."
Such perceptions of Monsanto - the world's largest seedmaker - by environmentalists, food activists and others, helps spur global protests over GM foods and fuels concerns by the company that sabotage could have been involved in the Oregon incident.
Following the end of the GM wheat program in 2005, Monsanto says all of the tested GM seeds were either destroyed or recovered and sent to a USDA facility in Colorado for storage. Monsanto's Fraley said that because those Roundup-resistant plants existed on only one of two of the Oregon farmer's fields and haven't sprouted on other farms since 2005, the occurrence is either "inadvertent or purposeful mixing of seed."
Monsanto officials said the average wheat seed only stays viable for one or two years in a harsh climate like Eastern Oregon's, and that it's unlikely that other parent stocks were corrupted.

A man who left his false teeth at an AFC Wimbledon match has thanked fellow fans for helping to find his gnashers.
George, who asked us not to print his surname to avoid teasing, said the dentures must have slipped out of his pocket before kick-off at Saturday's game against Exeter.
He denied internet speculation the false teeth had fallen out while he was eating a pre-match pie and said he did not wear them often, despite complaints from his girlfriend.
Fans and others, including BBC presenter Jacqui Oatley, rallied on Twitter yesterday to find out who they belonged to, using the hashtag #bringthechompshome.
George, 66, who lives in Carshalton, said this afternoon: "Thank you to everybody. I was chomping at the bit.
"It's all smiles again. I've been so embarrassed about it.
"I was going to go to the Hartlepool match tonight and pick them up."
The lifelong Wimbledon fan, who started going to games with his uncle aged six when he lived in Southfields, said: "I'm glad I've been a source of a bit of amusement.
"I think it is hilarious what some people have been saying like flossed and found."
Turning his thoughts to tonight's game against Hartlepool, he also hoped new loan signing Danny Hylton would bring a bit of bite to the forward line.

Stake out some shade. Break out the bathing suits. Clean out the kiddie pool.
If you think Thursday was hot, hold on, because triple-digit temperatures are coming. But as you suffer through the swelter, remind yourself: At least I'm not in Arizona.
While triple-digit temperatures will roast some corners of the region, the Bay Area will be cool by comparison, as a massive high-pressure system will push highs in desert locales such as Death Valley and Phoenix far past 110 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.
The Bay Area heat wave comes just days after an unseasonably cloudy and wet start to the summer. High temperatures could stay near 100 degrees through Monday in some communities before finally cooling down midweek.
"There's pretty much a big blop of high pressure sitting over the western states causing warm weather, offshore flow and rising temperatures," said Diana Henderson, a forecaster with the National Weather Service.
In Contra Costa County, Brentwood and other nearby cities are expected to hit up to 104 degrees Friday and stay that hot through Monday. Central County communities such as Concord, Walnut Creek and Danville will be in the high 90s to the low 100s.
In Alameda County, Pleasanton may reach 99 degrees Friday and is expected to hit 103 by Monday, while Livermore's predicted high Monday is 101. The inner East Bay will remain cooler, with highs from the mid-80s to the low 90s from Oakland south to Fremont.
South Bay temperatures are expected to be only slightly cooler, with a high of 96 in San Jose and 92 in Palo Alto on Monday. Along the Peninsula, San Mateo will see a high of 79 and Redwood City a high of 89.
With the extreme heat comes concerns about fires, power usage and health.
PG&E spokeswoman Tamar Sarkissian said the utility has extra staff ready to handle power outages in light of the extended period of high temperatures and likelihood of customers using more power.
"We can't predict when and where power outage might happen, but we are prepared," she said.
The state's power grid is expected to be able to cope with any surge in demand from the heat.
Steven Greenlee of the California Independent System Operator said demand usually drops on weekends as office buildings and some manufacturers shut down, though they "might pull a little more juice" come Monday to cool stuffy buildings.
"We're going to be watching things closely," he said.
While no Spare the Air alerts or Red Flag Warnings have been issued, fire danger and air quality remain primary concerns every time the temperature ticks upward, Henderson said.
Christine Rosellis with the Bay Area Air Quality Management District said officials will be closely watching conditions, ready to declare Spare the Air alerts if they're needed.
"Anytime you have high pressure sitting overhead, that does affect the air quality," Henderson added. "It should be dramatically uncomfortable for most people."
Experts suggest that ways to beat the heat include staying out of the sun, wearing broad-brimmed hats outdoors and drinking lots of water. Authorities say parents and pet owners should absolutely not leave children or pets in parked cars, where the temperature can quickly prove fatal.
Mike Guzzardo, event organizer for Saturday's Paddle for Fame event in Discovery Bay, where hundreds of paddleboats gather for a party in the Delta town's harbor, is giving eventgoers similar advice.
"We're been trying to tell people on Facebook that it will be hot out there. The key is to stay sober and stay hydrated, and make sure you have shade and suntan lotion," he said.
Surprisingly, perhaps, the high on Bethel Island is forecast to be well over 100 degrees, but at least some residents there are prepared.
While Loraine McWhorter cools her pet birds down with a hose atop their cage, Lindsey Wagner-Jauregui takes to the water.
"Hop in the boat and head to the beach around the corner from our house," she said in a Facebook post. "Put a life jacket on your legs — we call it a diaper -- and we float ... Coors can in hand."
While air-conditioned movie theaters and retail stores may be popular places to hang out, officials that run community swimming pools are also expecting an increase in activity.
"There are more people are coming in from the heat," said Patty Holtz, a lifeguard at Pittsburg's Sullenberger Swim Center at Buchanan Park.
That outlook is a far cry from just last Sunday, when rain made an unexpected appearance right after summer started.
"Sunday was the day we had one person in the pool and it was sprinkling," she said.

My Inspiration
Posted by Sandeep Shelke on January 9th, 2013
"Kautiliya Arthashastra" – government should collect the tax from citizens the way honey-bee gather honey from flowers.
Chanakya – The king's worship is well-being of his citizens and not that of god
Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj – He guided his soldiers and administrators not to touch even a leaf of farm produce of the farmers of his kingdom.
Mahatma Gandhi – Improve rural economy to improve national economy.
Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar – Freedom, Equality and Fraternity are foundations of society.
Thomas Jefferson – Free press. This is one of very important tenets of liberal government.
John Locke – I learned the role of civil society in resolving conflicts with the help of government.

England fan Zac Bamber, from East Lancashire, is among the thousands of supporters who will be roaring on England as they play for World Cup glory in Brazil tomorrow.
The 22-year-old has gone to the South American country with his dad, Steven, with whom he has been lucky enough to get tickets for England's first two matches.
The pair start their trip in Manaus, where England's first Group D match, against Italy, is to be held at the Arena de Amazonia.
They also have tickets for the following game against Uruguay, next Thursday, in Sao Paolo.
Zac said: "I have been really looking forward to it. I couldn't wait to get out there. When they said the World Cup was going to be in Brazil, I just knew I had to go. It really is a once-in-a-lifetime thing."
After the Italy match, Zac and Steven, from Blackburn, will take a trip down the Amazon River on the way to Sao Paolo.
The trip, which is a 'holiday of a lifetime', has already cost Zac £2,500, and he expects that could reach £4,000 by the time he comes home.
They will spend 10 days in Brazil and, although they only have tickets for the two England games, they may buy tickets there for some other matches.
Zac, of Carrington Avenue, said he had been watching England regularly, both home and abroad, for a few years now. He said: "I had a season ticket at Rovers, but I am not renewing it this year as I do refereeing on Saturdays, and I want to concentrate on that.
"I go watching England, but I only started following them after the last World Cup, so this is my first tournament."
Zac said he was looking forward to immersing himself in the atmosphere of the tournament.
He said: "It will be really cool seeing all the people from all over the world, and meeting up with England fans from all over the country. "They have fan zones near the stadiums where England are playing, which is where we will go."
As for the tournament, Zac said he fully expected the hosts to take home the trophy. He said: "It is hard to look past Brazil for the title. I reckon Argentina will play them in the final."

Ralph McQuarrie's original interpretations of Lucas ideas have long fascinated Star Wars fans. Portfolios and books showcasing the illustrations are prized possessions of collectors, who remain intrigued by a Star Wars Universe that might have been. Now, Hasbro has partnered with Diamond and Toys"R"Us to offer fans action figure sets based on McQuarrie's concept art.
Shipping this week, the Star Wars: Ralph McQuarrie Concept Action Figure Sets 1 & 2 Assortment (MAR098174, SRP $52.50 per set) presents 3-3/4"-scale versions of the sagas main heroes & villains, inspired by the artist's early illustrations.
* Set 1 (pictured above) includes McQuarries versions of Han Solo (who bears more than a passing resemblance to a young George Lucas), Chewbacca, Obi Wan Kenobi & Yoda, C-3PO & R2-D2, and Boba Fett.
* Set 2 (below) features Concept takes on Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Stormtrooper, Snowtrooper, Rebel Trooper and The Starkiller Hero, a character that evolved into both Luke Skywalker and his sister, Princess Leia, in the final draft of the first script.
"For over 30 years, Star Wars merchandise has been a perennial bestseller in specialty market stores. Without Ralph McQuarrie's original concepts, the first film may not have been as groundbreaking, or as popular. Inspired by McQuarrie's art, this assortment gives retailers some very salable action figures that Star Wars collectors have been asking for, in one form or the other, for over three decades," said Diamond Vice President of Purchasing Bill Schanes. "Separately, the hard-to-find characters in this assortment are some of the hottest toys out there imagine Star Wars fans' excitement at being able to buy all of McQuarrie's Concept Action Figures in two convenient sets."
Highly sought after by collectors, these figures have been previously available individually some only at Star Wars and pop culture conventions and through select websites and many fetch high prices in the collectors aftermarket. Now, this release collects all of the McQuarrie Concept Action Figures in two convenient sets in one assortment, available exclusively through comic shops (and for a limited time through Toys"R"Us stores).

Inputs: NIOSH Strategic Goals
The NIOSH Sector and Cross-Sector Programs developed strategic goals to guide research and partnership efforts over the next decade.
NIOSH previously used priority topic areas (e.g., traumatic injury, hearing loss) to guide research efforts. Goals take this approach a step further by identifying specific outcomes that we want to target, performance measures for evaluating progress in meeting the outcome goals, and intermediate goals to describe the necessary steps that need to be performed to accomplish the goal. Setting goals is challenging because
- It forces us to focus on a subgroup of issues where we think NIOSH can make an impact — a long list would spread our resources too thin to accomplish the goals. Not every worthwhile topic can be included.
- It is difficult to develop performance measures. Available injury statistics have limitations, and exposure and health outcome measures are typically not available.
- It is ambitious for NIOSH to set goals to achieve outcomes such as reductions in a national fatality rate. NIOSH is a research agency so we do not often directly influence outcomes — we must partner well and influence other groups to show results.
NIOSH Program Portfolio Approach
NIOSH has been organizing research, guidance, information, and service efforts into specific programs that can be readily communicated and strategically governed and evaluated. Ten NIOSH Sector Programs represent industrial sectors, and twenty-four Cross-sector Programs organized around adverse health outcomes, statutory programs and global efforts.
The NIOSH Sector Programs intersect with Cross-Sector Programs in a matrix-like fashion. For example, an Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing Program goal of reducing farm-related deaths and injuries due to tractor rollovers and trucks would likely be a shared goal with the Transportation Program and if appropriate would be adopted by both programs. This approach provides an added advantage and will allow multiple Programs to work towards accomplishment of intersecting goals.
Each of the 34 programs in the NIOSH Program Portfolio has a Manager and Coordinator. Each of the 10 NIOSH Sector Programs facilitates the work of a NORA Sector Council to engage external stakeholders in the process of developing sector goals for the nation and methods to measure the short-term, intermediate and long-term outcomes arising from those goals. The NORA goals for the nation will be considered when choosing NIOSH sector program goals. Cross Sector programs have internal Steering Committees that develop program goals and monitor outcome measures.
These planning efforts will position NIOSH to align with the most current governmental approaches for evaluating program effectiveness, i.e., the Program Assessment Rating Tool (or PART). PART is a mechanism to hold governmental agencies accountable for accomplishing results. As part of our comprehensive approach to performance measurement, NIOSH has engaged the National Academies to independently evaluate our sector and cross-programs for relevance and impact.
Health Hazard Evaluation Program Goals
Strategic goal 1: Prevent occupational illnesses through reduced exposure to workplace hazards.
Intermediate goals:
- Stakeholders submit HHE requests for high priority and emerging occupational health problems.
- Stakeholders implement recommendations at facilities investigated through the health hazard evaluation program.
- Stakeholders at facilities not investigated by the HHE program are aware of hazards identified and controls recommended by HHE Program investigators.
Strategic goal 2: Promote occupational safety and health research on emerging issues.
Intermediate goal:
- Occupational safety and health researchers use HHE program information to support research initiatives.
Strategic goal 3: Protect the health and safety of workers during public health emergencies.
Intermediate goals:
- Stakeholders have information about high priority occupational health issues likely to arise during public health emergencies.
- HHE Program personnel respond appropriately to requests for assistance.
- Ensure that the HHE Program is ready to respond to requests for assistance.
Strategic goal 4: Train physicians, nurses, industrial hygienists, and other professionals to address workplace health hazards from a practical, public health perspective through HHE field experiences
Intermediate goals:
- Occupational health and safety and medical trainees are familiar with HHE Program opportunities.
- Trainees request interactions with the HHE program.

Washington Redskins QB Robert Griffin III is reportedly getting married this summer. Now fans of the QB have taken to the web and bought nearly all of the gifts on wedding registry for Griffin and fiancée Rebecca Liddicoat.
But of course, it isn't the web without someone getting all indignant and such was the case with the flood of gifts for the couple. Although no prominent figures have criticized Griffin for accepting the gifts, some fans seem to have an issue with a rich athlete accepting these gifts.
Griffin responded:
I didn't ask the fans to buy me anything. They found it on their own and decided to get what they could. SMH at all these Debbie downers— Robert Griffin III (@RGIII) May 19, 2013
Because you are rich you are not allowed to receive gifts and any gifts you receive should be donated to charity???? #WOW Smh...— Robert Griffin III (@RGIII) May 20, 2013
Haters gon hate. Theme of the day. They always say more money more problems. Or mo' money mo' problems. Yea I'm cultured #DealWithIt— Robert Griffin III (@RGIII) May 20, 2013
We wish Griffin and Liddicoat the best of luck in their married life together.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Terminix has entered the Canadian pest control market with the acquisition of substantially all the assets of Toronto-based Magical Pest Control. It is the first Canadian asset acquisition for the company.
Founded in 1997, Magical Pest Control is one of the largest pest control companies in Ontario. It specializes in commercial accounts and the property management sector, while also treating residential customers. The Toronto company, headed by president Mark Joseph, served customers throughout Ontario and eastern Canada.
Terminix's Toronto operations will provide commercial and residential pest control services under the Magical Pest Control name. Under Terminix's leadership, Joseph will continue to operate the business and work closely with the Terminix commercial team.
"Our acquisition of Magical's operations marks an important strategic opportunity to expand our business to the growing Canadian market," said Larry Pruitt , president of Terminix, a subsidiary of ServiceMaster, one of the world's largest residential service networks. "Magical's impressive focus on customer-centric service, innovation, as well as its strong commitment to its team members, made for a perfect match as we begin to establish the Terminix footprint in Canada."
"When comparing companies with the resources to grow and improve Magical, our top priority was making sure our customers and our employees would be taken care of," said Joseph. "We have a tradition of providing exceptional service to uphold at Magical, and we were very careful to select a company that would enhance our service offerings, provide more opportunities for our associates, and maintain our tradition. We've found that in Terminix."
Terminix is headquartered in Memphis, Tenn., and services approximately 3 million residential and commercial customers in 47 states and 15 countries. Terminix provides pest control services and protection against termites, rodents and other pests.

School funding is becoming a more complicated issue, according to a recent University of Colorado study done for the Boulder-based National Education Policy Center.
This line of thought is likely to manifest itself throughout this year in Lansing as the state considers a variety of reform proposals involving charter and cyber schools of choice.
The most common way of thinking about school funding has been per-pupil spending.
"On the face, a 'neutral' policy would simply allot the same amount of money per student to a school of choice as it would to a conventional public school," states the study entitled "Public Funding of School Choice" authored by William Mathis. This has pretty much been the practice in Michigan.
"But ... the issue is far more complicated," the study continues. "For example, student populations may vary. Schools that serve autistic children will have different cost requirements than a school with a high population of economically deprived children. Further, while cyber schools require technology-related resources, they require only minimal resources for facilities, maintenance expenses and transportation. Should these schools receive the same amount of money as a school that must pay these expenses? There are no easy or value-free answers to these issues."
A proposal by the Oxford Foundation (oxfordfoundationmi.com) that is widely thought to reflect the thinking of Gov. Rick Snyder would allow Michigan students to split their annual funding allocation among multiple providers. They would be able to pick and choose programs offered by any public district, though their amount would still be determined by their district of residence.
Per-pupil allocations vary by district. There is a minimum per-pupil state foundation allowance -- it is $6,996 for the current school year -- but the actual allowance varies by district,� depending on property tax revenue and other factors. For example, the 2012-13 figures in Oakland County range from $6,996 in Madison, South Lyon, Brandon, Holly and Huron Valley districts� to a high of $11,854 for Bloomfield Hills.
Many districts remain above the state average because they were labeled "hold harmless" entities so as to prevent reductions when the current school funding system was devised in the 1990s.
The Oxford Foundation proposal would reform Michigan's school finance system, but Oakland Intermediate School officials say the funding issue should be the subject of a comprehensive study first. No such study has been carried out in 43 years, they say.
Among variables that can make the average costs irrelevant are numbers of at-risk students per district, special education, cost-of-living and size of district. Also, it is less costly to serve elementary students than students in higher grades.
Actual costs need to be taken into consideration, Oakland school officials say.
"Should tax-based funding be predicated on actual spending (cost-plus) or on a set amount per pupil?" asks the Colorado study. "A set amount gives market-oriented operations an incentive to keep salaries low and class size high. A cost-plus system doesn't discourage funding a high-quality education but it has no incentive to keep costs low or efficient. Again, there are no easy or absolute answers to these dilemmas.
"There are also unique school factors such as age and condition of the facility, variations in contracted services, rurality, and availability of community services. Compounding an already complicated topic is the funding of private and public combinations. Should public school cocurricular activities such as school-sponsored clubs and teams be available for students enrolled in a cyber-school? Does the local school, the state or the cyber-school pay the costs?"
The proposed rewrite of the school aid formula "does raise a number of questions that may require study," said Jeffrey Guilfoyle, president of the non-partisan and highly respected Citizens Research Council. "The foundation allowance represents the average cost of educating a child. If you are going to allow the foundation allowance to be split, it raises all types of pricing questions."
Guilfoyle said that among them are:
How much should be appropriated for the fixed costs of running a district for things like record keeping, or supporting extra curricular activities like band or football?��
�If a student takes four classes at their traditional school and one from an online charter, how much of the foundation allowance should be available to go to the online charter?� Does it matter what grade?� Does it matter what subject?
What if a really smart student wants to take more than a full load of classes? Should they get extra foundation allowance that they could use to take a class online or at a community college in addition to their regular load?
Should any students get a bigger allowance -- for example at-risk, or for students below grade level trying to catch up?
Should we do something to even the burden of legacy costs between traditional providers and new providers?
"The risk with the rewrite is that you price things incorrectly and potentially let providers skim off low-cost opportunities (sort of like an insurer just insuring healthy people), putting a lot of fiscal pressure on traditional districts," Guilfoyle said.
Disputing the notion that simply giving charter schools the foundation allowance for their students unfairly benefits such entities, James N. Goenner, president and chief executive officer of the Mt. Pleasant-based National Charter Schools Institute points out that charters must derive both operating and facility costs from their funding. Unlike traditional public districts, they have no taxing authority to raise money for buildings.
"You can't leave the capital side off" in determining a fair method of funding, Goenner said.
Clearly the state is in for a full debate on the subject, probably this year.
�It is long overdue.

Streak is about to end!

wow- a big10 win.
didn't think it was gonna happen
3-5 on their way to 7-5!!!!!!
honest question, If IU beats Iowa and gets to 4-5, do you give them a chance to go to a bowl game?
I'm encouraged by the incremental progress and the B1G win, but I just don't know. 6 wins technically is enough, right? I just don't see any way they win four straight. Honestly, the only one I feel marginally good about is Iowa.
I think best case they win two more. PSU is still tough and on the road. Wisky has recovered nicely and is playing well...and our run D will be horribly exposed there. Purdue on the road will be a very tall order. If it were in Btown then a better shot, but it's not. So I'm looking for 1 to two more wins tops. That would actually be pretty good progress in my view.
The thing that killed us in terms of your question is the non-conference losses. Last week, for example, was just a choke job extraordinaire. Plus, IL is a very poor team, so I don't extrapolate too much from this defensive effort. Not yet at least.

-Emiliano Zapata
today though- they finally got it done and on the road. granted illinois isn't great but a road win is a road win and i will take it.
if i were wilson- i'd dedicate this game to jack trudeau and all the crap he talked about us last year on the radio.
I may be alone here, but i think we can get to 6-6
What will you do if Indiana makes it to Indianapolis? I know it is very unlikely but what would you do?
If we somehow beat Iowa and the Badgers ill start wondering about this
Hope the win puts the Sudfeld/Coffman rotation/competition to rest for the remainder of this year. It's not that Coffman's been bad, although he hasn't been particularly good. It's just that Sudfeld clearly has a lot more long term potential. So why not let him develop it by starting the rest of the year?
Bigger question that's been raised here already: if Sudefeld does continue to start and plays well, what happens at QB when Roberson is back? Seems ways to soon to consider this too seriously, but Sudfled to me really passes the pocket QB eye test. Roberson offers a significant added dimension, but has he passing progressed enough that it's in the ballpark with Sudfeld?
All this is moot if Sudfeld takes over and blows, of course.
I'd rather die standing up than live on my knees.
-Emiliano Zapata
One win over Illinois and people are talking about the B1G Championship game? C'mon guys, just LOL.
I don't see Roberson as a QB in this sytem. I think he'd be great like Northwestern uses that one guy on their team (name is escaping me, but he is number 2), they line him up in the slot, sometimes in the backfield, sometimes in wildcat. I would like to see Roberson used like that.
Well we got Troy. Now its Anya and Vonleh. Bigger need versus better player.
I really hate the oversign rule.
I do, however, like snagging Troy Williams. He seems to be the type of long, athletic wing with potential that Crean wants for his system.
I continue to read that we are willing to take Williams, Vonleh, and Anya if they were all to commit. I don't understand the numbers and won't speculate on how they would get all these guys on campus, but we sit pretty with all of them. Anya is reportedly down to Indiana and NC State.
I don't put as high of a priority on Vonleh as others do. To me, he's a one and done. That's fine, I love the idea of having one elite, one and done type talent on the team each year, but I'd rather have 3-4 years of a Troy Williams type than 1 year of Vonleh.
Colin Hartman's schollie is the bane of my existence.
Hopefully this is the last class with guys like him accepting them. You would think he would see the writing on the wall regarding playing time and go elsewhere for pt
Beejay Anya down to IU & NC State.
think he will go NC imo
Counting down the days untill DJ Augustin's contract expires.
Do we really think that Will Sheehey has any shot at the NBA? I sure hope not.
Yes, we do. NBA scouts do too. Probably not after this year, but he is on their radar.
The same way Antwaan Randel El should have been used... You don't want your most versatile guy at carrying the ball to be taking the snap from center. its too predicable- one dimensional. You want the ball in his hands a LOT, but you need to vary the way it gets there.
Why do the things that we treasure most, slip away in time
Till to the music we grow deaf, to God's beauty blind
Why do the things that connect us slowly pull us apart?
Till we fall away in our own darkness, a stranger to our own hearts
And life itself, rushing over me
Life itself, the wind in black elms,
Life itself in your heart and in your eyes, I can't make it without you

Forgive me if this has already been discussed ad nauseam here; I'm a lurker who doesn't visit PD daily. But I haven't seen any recent posts dedicated to the topic, so here goes.
I splurged and bought 7th row center court seats to last night's game, and it was never more obvious to me that Lance is by far the most natural point guard on the floor for the Pacers.
While he does still get out of control at times and still makes the errant pass or ill-advised drive, those instances are growing fewer by the day. Meanwhile his court vision is unrivaled on the team (I wouldn't use the term "court vision" in the same sentence with Hill--and I really like Hill), he's a strong passer, and nobody pushes the ball up the floor like Lance does. And while Hill's floater is great, Lance is much better at getting into the lane, and he finds more creative ways to finish once he's there.
Why not move Hill to SG and let Lance run the point? Then Hill can come off the bench when Granger returns. It seems like a viable--maybe even a good--idea to me. What about you? I'm interested in hearing arguments from both sides.

Now while this is a "Who Cares" topic apparently PTI covered it along with various other sports shows on radio about whether its appropriate. Of course Romo's girlfriend is there but she's a sports reporter so at least she has a legit reason.
Apparently this brings me to: Is this acceptable or not? And do you think this will be Jessica Simpson all over again?
Reality star Kim Kardashian watches Cowboys receiver Miles Austin in action

They have been photographed together at the beach, boarding a private yacht in New York City and at Serena Williams' party, but they have been quiet on their relationship status.
So what does it mean when a woman comes to watch a man at work? Sunday, Kim Kardashian showed up at the Alamodome (no, not with the huddled masses, yes, in a private suite) to watch WR Miles Austin at the Dallas Cowboys training camp.
While Austin worked, Kardashian hung with Candice Crawford, former Miss Missouri and current girlfriend of QB Tony Romo. Team owner Jerry Jones told The Associated Press he "almost swallowed" his sandwich earlier when he ran into Austin and Kardashian having lunch with Romo.
He did not specify if he thought that was a good omen or not. Good because lately championships follow the Kardashian sisters or bad because apparently singer Jessica Simpson cost the Cowboys some games because she came to watch then-beau Romo at work. But let's go with the good.
It was not that long ago, okay we know it was Feb. 7, that Kardashian was with then-beau Reggie Bush when the New Orleans Saints won the Super Bowl in South Florida. Then in June, Los Angeles Laker Lamar Odom achieved championship status after he married Khloe Kardashian, Kim's sister.

LOS ANGELES – While many seem to be bailing on Dwight Howard, at least one Lakers official threw his support behind the All-Star center, calling him the "future" of the franchise.
General Manager Mitch Kupchak reiterated in a radio interview Wednesday that the Lakers have no intention of trading Howard, and the GM sees big things ahead despite his lackluster season so far.
"He belongs to have his name on the wall (with a retired jersey) and a statue in front of Staples at some point in time," Kupchak said. "Dwight is our future. Kobe has one more year on his deal (one year after this season). … This team's window to win is this year and next year."
As supportive as that might sound, Howard remained noncommittal about his future plans, saying that the general manager has expressed that sentiment "plenty of times." He maintained that he is not contemplating the future, rather focusing on the here and now. Howard will be a free agent after this season and could sign with the Lakers for somewhere between $25 million-$30 million.
"Nobody can control what happens in the offseason," he told reporters at Wednesday's shootaround. "Like I said to you guys before, there's no need to talk about it every day."
Kupchak said in the interview that he believes Lakers fans will embrace Howard once the team starts winning, which has been a struggle for the 25-29 Lakers this season. They remain 3 1/2 games behind Houston for the final playoff spot despite beating Boston, 113-99, on Wednesday.
"Players in this league are not going to get their due until they win a championship, and until they do, they're under the microscope, and they're going to be criticized for every single little thing," Kupchak said.
Jeanie Buss received numerous hugs from friends and fans before the Lakers paid tribute to her late father, Jerry Buss, before Wednesday's game. Jerry Buss died Monday of kidney failure after battling cancer for 18 months.
The video tribute began with the team name shown in white on a black screen. Then a picture of Buss appeared followed by a portrait of him as a young boy. The succession of pictures followed him throughout his life, including his time as Lakers owner and his induction into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. Video highlights of past championships were played.
Buss was then heard to say "Life is good, life is sweet and I thank each and everyone one of you from the bottom of my heart." His comments drew resounding applause before Bryant took the court.
"We all lost the greatest owner in all of sports," Bryant said "He was a brilliant, incredible owner and an even better person."
Bryant added that "We are all spoiled" by the Lakers success.
A spotlight shined on Buss' empty seat in his Staples Center suite throughout the game.
Steve Nash eclipsed Magic Johnson for fourth place on the all-time NBA assist leader list. Nash has 10,144 after handing out seven against Boston. … The Lakers, who struggled with their transition defense when the teams played earlier this month, did a better job slowing the Celtics on Wednesday. Boston scored just 13 fastbreak points. In the previous game, the Celtics scored 22 fastbreak points.

Detailed Description:
Acute pancreatitis may range from mild to severe disease with high mortality in case of infected pancreatic necrosis. Due to its rising incidence it remains an important healthcare problem in Europe and US. The assessment of the severity of pancreatitis is crucial for the further management and the prognosis. Several quite complex scores like Ranson or APACHE II scores has been used in the past with reasonable sensitivity for necrosis or superinfection as well as inflammation markers like c-reactive Protein.
Copeptin, the C-terminal part of antidiuretic hormone, is a relatively stable peptide in blood circulation. Several studies investigated Copeptin in the presence of Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) or sepsis, myocardial infarction, lower respiratory tract infection and cerebral stroke. Copeptin has shown to be a helpful prognostic marker in these diseases. The aim of this prospective study is to investigate whether Copeptin can be used to assess the severity of pancreatitis.

Truly hope so.
Pep called a great game, but I'm sure he'll get no credit and people will still pine for Arians the Turnover God.
Barring a complete collapse of epic proportions, we will win the division and host a home playoff game. Nice.
7-3 is 7-3. Pretty damn impressive when you consider all of the vicious injuries that we have suffered this season. Any road win on the division is tough, and Tennessee is actually a fairly solid team.
That Fleener pick is really starting to look nice. Great athlete, obvious precision with Luck, and is really starting to come into his own. He's definitely the second best receiving threat on the team right now and some nights can be the best, like tonight.
Brown is obviously the best running back right now. This guy is playing some of the best ball of his career.
Whalen made a big snag.
The Walden headbutt was embarrassing to the horseshoe.
Just a huge win. We really needed that after the massacre that took place last week. We have 10 days to rest before a huge game in Arizona.
If we get an interior offensive line and retain Pep this offense will be absolutely stacked next year getting Ballard, Allen, and Wayne back. Still dropped 30 in this game.
Yeah this offense would have been pretty stacked if it had stayed healthy. We could run some nasty 2 TE sets next year with a healthy Allen and a continually progressing Fleener.
Coby with a 8/107. Really good second half and that's the kind of production we want to see from him. Especially now that him and Hilton are the only viable options in the receiving corp.
Our backs did good receiving too.

There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.
We also need to get a 2nd or 3rd wide receiver, although I think Da'Rick Rogers could be that guy. I'd love to see the Colts try to get Julian Edelman or Golden Tate.
I like Hartline.
There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.
We need to improve our defense too. Our DL gets no pressure whatsoever on the QB and Mathis is the only person doing anything getting pressure. I wish we could rush Freeman more but our pass coverage is bad and we need him out there.
Brown sucked in the beginning and only in the last couple years has he picked it up. I think Trent will figure it out. Hopefully.
Don't ask Marvin Harrison what he did during the bye week. "Batman never told where the Bat Cave is," he explained.
Eric Decker? I need to look at our cap space again.
But yeah, no matter what we gotta upgrade the WR position. Even if you think Reggie will be 100% for next year, the guy is still going to turn 36 in the 2014 season. We gotta add another reliable young WR. Hilton is good and we have two good TE's if Allen is healthy, but we just need one more WR.
Pep might be better judged with all the players healthy. Plus i don't wanna Luck learning a 3rd playbook in respective years.
With that said, he needs to adjust a lot and realize with Pagano who they have as a QB.
Good game by him though today indeed. He should thank Brown a lot.
I think we have too much reliance on long throws and power running in the beginning of the game. More check downs and comebacks to build momentum isn't a bad thing.
Don't ask Marvin Harrison what he did during the bye week. "Batman never told where the Bat Cave is," he explained.
I like our RB situation going forward. I know things will look different once we get this o line straightened out, tough to see that now, but Donald Brown was our 3rd or 4th option earlier this year, think about that. He's running for his life these days, no doubt. But I cannot imagine him being our only back. Think about that. Take TRich out of the picture and does anyone honestly feel good giving DBrown 100% of the touches? As much as people have talked him up recently, until this game he was averaging about 25 yards a game. I'm tellin ya, he's a sneak back, not a feature back. He's done this before; once teams gameplan him, he drops off hard.
I think the 1-2 punch works a lot better.

Oh btw our o line resembled a line in the 2nd half.

Eh I don't really want either regardless of tonight's win while a good remember these are the Titans. Of course they were going to blow it I mean really they lost to Jacksonville just a few days ago.
That being said the only way we'll lose the division is if we lose Andrew Luck they can tout the ground and pound all they want but this team still lives and dies by their QB.
Sounds familiar?
This team really needs to address why they get in such a hole early on of course this week I'll give a pass since they only had 4 days but it doesn't explain the other weeks.
Please no more Ohio State players this franchise has a bad track record with them
Art Schlicter
Quinn Pitcock
Anthony Gonzalez
Roy Hall
List goes on.
You bet. And I'd have said it last offseason, I'm sure it's in some threads from over the summer. He's been good his entire career.
I don't think Brown should get all the carries, but he should bet more than T Rich at this point. It's obvious who the better back is right now and this is coming from someone who is not a fan of Brown in the past. Donald has earned more carries and more playing time and hopefully our sometimes stubborn coaches agree with me.
No he has not. He has had his fair share of **** games and people calling for his benching. You either have short memory or you're related to him, lol.
There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.
Compared to T-Rich yes, if T-Rich is going to be on the roster next season
It should be 1) Ballard, 2) Brown, 3) T-Rich
Those "stubborn" coaches gave Brown more carries than Richardson tonight.
Yeah Brown was just as bad as Richardson is now for a good stretch of his career for the same exact reasons.

THE county's fire authority chairman has admitted mistakes were made over paying his chief officer £3,000 towards private back surgery - and has conceded he was not open or transparent enough.
Councillor Derek Prodger, who has been fiercely criticised for agreeing Mark Yates' payout behind closed doors, says "in hindsight" it was the wrong way to do it.
Speaking to angry councillors yesterday, he said if a similar request ever happens again he would be prepared to put it in front of fire authority members for a vote at an open meeting.
It came as Mr Yates made his first public appearance since the saga was first revealed in your Worcester News.
The chief fire officer, who earns £122,000 a year, refused to talk to the press about his back operation but Cllr Prodger, who signed it off, said lessons need to be learned.
During the debate councillors said the furore had "damaged the reputation" of the fire authority.
Speaking to the fire authority's police and resources committee, Cllr Prodger said: "In hindsight, perhaps it would have been wiser to record the decision and have it on the agenda today.
"It may be that if we ever have a request like it again, in the future we'll send it to the policy and resources committee instead."
Cllr Alan Amos, a fellow fire authority member, said: "There is an issue here, let's discuss it instead of covering it up.
"The fact the decision was made without people knowing about it has done real damage to the fire authority, I've been berated about it by the public when it's got nothing to do with me at all - we need some kind of a mechanism to avoid it happening again."
Cllr Prodger later said: "We should put decisions like this in front of more members, so more people are involved in it and not just group leaders."
As your Worcester News revealed on Monday, Cllr Prodger agreed it during a private meeting with three political group leaders back in October.
The session was not minuted, nor was the 25-member fire authority told about the payment.
Mr Yates decided to have a private back operation after being told an NHS one had a 12-week waiting list.
By the time of the pay-off decision the operation, which cost £5,090 in total, was already complete and he was back at work.
Mr Yates claimed the full amount but the small group of four councillors voted 3-1 in favour of giving him a 'partial payment'.
Cllr Prodger told the meeting he still thought it was "the right thing to do" to give him the cash.
The fire service says Mr Yates could have been off work for up to 12 weeks if he waited on the NHS, in which case it could have cost £8,500 in paying other staff to cover his duties.
MARK Yates refused to talk to your Worcester News yesterday - saying it was "inappropriate" to answer any questions.
The chief fire officer dodged attempts from the press to discuss the back operation, by saying fire authority chairman Councillor Derek Prodger had already defended the payout.
More details emerged around it yesterday, after councillors challenged staff about what pot of cash the money had come from.
Treasurer Martin Reohorn revealed a £10,000 cash kitty is stashed away for "this kind of spend" from the fire service's occupational health budget.
Under fierce questioning from Councillor Alan Amos, officers said it was the first time it had been dipped into in the current financial year.
Nigel Snape, a legal adviser, said: "There is no defined procedure for dealing with a matter like this, you have to be pragmatic about it.
"Clearly, it wasn't appropriate to be discussed by officers so it went to the chairman (Cllr Prodger) who decided to run it through group leaders, it was entirely appropriate."
He also confirmed he had a written record of the decision and the four people involved in making it, and that it will be recorded in the accounts as a 'benefit in kind'.
Independent Councillor David Taylor, the only one of the four to still deny any involvement in the decision despite his name being confirmed by the fire service, was at the meeting yesterday.
When challenged again by your Worcester News, he said: "My memory isn't as good as it used to be - but when I deal with confidential things like this, I tend to forget about it anyway."
Councillor Richard Udall, meanwhile, said he wants a fresh report to look into the powers available to Cllr Prodger and the authority's constitution.
He said: "Where we go in the future is very important - this is a governance issue.
"Let's move on and make sure it doesn't happen again in the future."
Mr Snape said he was prepared to take any suggested changes on board.

Matheny not concerned with Cards' power outage
ST. LOUIS -- Another homerless game on Friday extended the Cardinals' power drought to nine games -- a distinction that might normally go mostly unnoticed if not for the team's recent struggles to score at all.
It has been 322 at-bats since the Cardinals last went deep, that coming with Allen Craig's solo homer in the sixth inning of the team's April 16 loss to the Brewers. Power hasn't manifested itself in extra-base hits, either, as the Cardinals have only 18 during that span.
Count manager Mike Matheny among those unconcerned -- not that the Cardinals are laboring to score, but in the specifics of how they do so.
"Just like last year, it didn't mean anything to me and I don't think it means too much to our guys except people want to keep making a big deal of it," Matheny said. "When we're scoring runs like we were last year, the home runs and the power production numbers don't mean anything to us. Once again, if we're not scoring runs, it stands out and is something you maybe point to."
Indeed, this is a topic two years in the making. The Cardinals saw a dip in home runs last season, one year after having five players reach the 20-homer mark individually. The 125 homers hit in 2013 was the team's lowest season total in a non-strike shortened season since 1993, when the club had 118.
Through 24 games this year, the Cardinals have hit just 12. Only the Royals, with nine, have a lower team total. Yadier Molina and Jhonny Peralta are the only Cardinals players to have hit at least two home runs for a team currently on pace for 81.
The expectation is that the total will rise as the temperature does. The organization is also interested to see how the addition of Ballpark Village behind the left-center-field side of Busch Stadium affects the wind stream in balls hit that way.
"I was watching [batting practice] yesterday and Craig and [Matt] Holliday lost about $2,000 worth of balls," Matheny said. "Little warmer and maybe the new building out there is going to help it a little out there, too. I didn't see that many balls leave the field in a month last year in batting practice. I don't know why. It just hasn't carried the last couple of years. We'll see if things are any different. I think it has something to do with it getting a little warmer, maybe, and maybe the new structure out there will help things as well."
For comparison, the Cardinals were sitting on 19 home runs heading into game No. 25 a year ago.
"I think that we'll have better power numbers than we had last year just by default, because I think history shows with the guys on this club," Matheny said. "We need to get guys locked in, taking good at-bats. I think their natural ability is going to allow for the ball to travel a little further at times than others and those numbers will most likely be there. But it can't be a focus."
