Cardinals sign Matt Carpenter to six-year, $52 million extension
Year after year the St. Louis Cardinals are able to stay relevant and contend for division and world championships for two simple reasons. First, they scout talent very well and are able to identify the players who best fit their philosophy and needs. Second, they develop and mold said talent into contributing major leaguers better than any other organization.
Their success in those two critical departments is fueled by general manager John Mozeliak, and it allows them to prepare for and absorb major losses on their roster. For example, they never missed a beat after Albert Pujols' signed with the Los Angeles Angels following their 2011 World Series championship, because there's always a next man up waiting for an opportunity. In that case, Allen Craig was ready to step in and provide All-Star numbers at first base. But another player who exemplifies their philosophy and the success they've enjoyed with it is infielder Matt Carpenter.
At 27, Carpenter finally received an opportunity as an every day player for St. Louis in 2013. Needless to say, he flourished, hitting .318 with a league best 199 hits, 126 runs scored and 55 doubles. The next man up had announced his arrival once again, and on Saturday the Cardinals rewarded Carpenter for his breakout season by signing him to a six-year, $52 million extension.
Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch was the first to report the deal was complete. Fox Sports Ken Rosenthal provides the full breakdown.
Carpenter breakdown with #STLCards: $1.5M signing bonus, $1M, $3.5M, $6.25M, $9.75M, $13.5M, $14.5M, $18.5M club option or $2M buyout.
— Ken Rosenthal (@Ken_Rosenthal) March 8, 2014
The deal covers the final four years of Carpenter's arbitration eligibility and his first two years of free agency. The Cardinals could have gone year to year with Carpenter, but instead opted for cost certainly as Carpenter's salary will be locked in over the course of the deal. By the same token, Carpenter could have held off to see how much his value rises in 2014, but it's difficult to pass up the long-term security his new deal affords him. Not just from a financial perspective, either, he wants to be a part of the Cardinals for the long haul, and this contract will make that happen.
"For a baseball junkie like myself, I can't think of a better place to play than St. Louis," Carpenter said. "It's an honor to put on this jersey, and I don't take it lightly."
The Cardinals value Carpenter long-term for several reasons. At the top of that list might just be his versatility. He's a true jack-of-all-trades in the field. In fact, after spending the majority of the 2013 season playing second base, he's moving to third base in 2014 to accommodate the arrival of prospect Kolten Wong and free agent veteran Mark Ellis.
Carpenter also logged time at first base last season and can play both corner outfield positions without batting an eye. That type of versatility is difficult to find, especially from a player who is locked into the lineup on a daily basis. It gives Mozeliak and manager Mike Matheny a lot of flexibility when pursuing new talent or filling out the lineup card, and that in turn makes Carpenter a valuable asset. The Cardinals recognize and have rewarded him as such.
It should also be noted his real world versatility translates over to the fantasy baseball world. You won't get a lot of power (11 homers in 2013) or speed (three steals), but he'll fill up the other counting categories with a strong batting average. If you have a draft upcoming, Carpenter is a good player to target in rounds five and six.

PRO/CON VIEW: Should Vidor vote on allowing alcohol sales or not?
Published 1:02 am, Wednesday, July 13, 2011
OUR VIEW: Vidor should OK alcohol sales
Vidor residents would do themselves - and their wallets - a favor by signing two petitions that could eliminate some of the restrictions against the sale of alcohol. It is high time that Vidor drops these archaic rules that are preventing residents and visitors from enjoying alcohol responsibly - and depriving City Hall of much-needed tax revenues.
One petition would permit the sale of beer and wine in convenience stores and groceries. The other would allow restaurants with permits to sell mixed drinks. Neither would allow liquor stores or bars.
If both petitions get at least 750 signatures, the issues would be voted on in November. That's democracy in action. At least Vidorians should be able to vote on these changes, whether they support them or not.
As always, non-drinkers will not be affected in any way. No one is trying to force them to do anything.
But current laws prevent moderate drinkers and merchants from doing what they want, and that should end.
ANOTHER VIEW: Leave well enough alone
Here we go again: Some people are trying to change Vidor when most residents like the town just the way it is. This misguided effort has been tried before in Lumberton, and Vidorians should reject it just as folks in Hardin County have.
Vidor is getting along fine without alcohol sales. Any increase in tax revenues would undoubtedly be offset by increased costs for monitoring those sales and dealing with their negative after-effects.
If the petition for sales at restaurants is approved, Vidor could see an influx of national chain operations that would drive out established businesses. That would deprive Vidor of its old-fashioned charm and make it look like every other town along the interstate.
If people in Vidor want to buy alcohol - or gamble or visit strip clubs - they can do it somewhere else. Vidorians should not be tempted by schemes like this. They should instead focus on wholesome growth that builds up the community instead of tearing it down.
FEEDBACK: What do you think? Should Vidor vote on allowing alcohol sales or not? Post your comment below now!

Work has begun on a €3million Euro project to put sand back on the Albufeira beaches. The sand has gradually been washed away over the years. Also, the sea has been undermining the sandstone cliffs, causing them to become unstable and to fall.
When the work is finished, scheduled for end June 2011, the beach will be about 50 metres wider than it is at present.
The cynical amongst us note that this will create more space for tourists to sit and roast in summer.
The sand is being lifted from the sea bed a few hundred yards out to sea. It is then brought up by boat to a point 200 yards or so offshore.
It then hooks up to the end of a big pipe that was laid previously. A pump starts up and a minute or two later out of the other end gushes a mixture of sand and water. It's all very clever. Once finished, off it goes again and the whole process is repeated. This picture shows the pumping of the sand and the levelling work. For those of you that know Albufeira, the lift up the cliff is just out of shot to the right.
Here are a few more pictures I took on Sunday 27th March, six days into the work.

North Carolina State University (NCSU) Libraries recently debuted a free, web-based social media archives toolkit designed to help cultural heritage organizations develop social media collection strategies, gain knowledge of ways in which peer institutions are collecting similar content, understand current and potential uses of social media content by researchers, assess the legal and ethical implications of archiving this content, and develop techniques for enriching collections of social media content at minimal cost. Tools for building and enriching collections include NCSU's Social Media Combine—which pre-assembles the open source Social Feed Manager, developed at George Washington University for Twitter data harvesting, and NCSU's own open source Lentil program for Instagram—into a single package that can be deployed on Windows, OSX, and Linux computers.
