Findings from a study of 516 Italian boys show a significant improvement over the last six decades in survival time in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).
The multinational pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) has announced promising results for its phase 1 trial of the exon-skipping drug drisapersen in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) who are no longer walking.
The phase 1 trial was designed to test safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (what the body does to the drug) of drisapersen, not to test drug efficacy.
Update (Feb. 1, 2013): Dutch biopharmaceutical company Prosensa announced Jan. 29 that it has received orphan drug status in the United States and the European Union for compounds in development for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
Experimental anti-cancer drugs that block IAP (inhibitor of apoptosis) genes and kill cancer cells have unexpectedly been found to induce the growth and repair of muscle tissue, say scientists supported in part by MDA.
A left ventricular assist device (LVAD), which helps the heart pump blood throughout the body, was implanted in the chest of a young man with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center in September. The patient is 29-year-old Jason Williams, of Peebles, Ohio.
A multicenter study of the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) to measure the progression of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is open at sites in Florida, Oregon and Pennsylvania for boys with DMD who meet study criteria.
Editor's note (Oct. 26, 2012): This story has been modified to note that it's possible for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to give conditional approval to a promising rare-disease drug prior to a larger confirmatory trial being performed.

Mormon colonies in Mexico
This article needs additional citations for verification. (November 2009) |
The Mormon colonies in Mexico are settlements located near the Sierra Madre mountains in northern Mexico which were established by members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints beginning in 1885. Many of the original colonists came to Mexico due to federal attempts to curb and prosecute polygamy in the United States. The towns making up the colonies were originally situated in the states of Chihuahua and Sonora, and were all within roughly 200 miles of the US border. By the early 20th century, many of these were relatively prosperous. However, in the summer of 1912, the colonies were evacuated due to anti-American sentiment during the Mexican Revolution and many of their citizens left for the United States and never returned. Some colonists did eventually return to their settlements, but today only Colonia Juárez and Colonia Dublan in the Casas Grandes river valley remain active. The Colonia Juárez Chihuahua México Temple, built in 1999, is located in Colonia Juárez, and is currently the smallest temple the LDS Church operates.
Early colonization[edit]
Mormonism and polygamy |
A Mormon polygamist family in 1888.
Latter Day Saints portal |
As early as 1874, Brigham Young, President of the LDS Church, called for a mission to Mexico. In 1875, settlers set out with the dual purpose of proselytizing and finding prospective locations for Mormon settlements. The missionaries returned with positive reports the next year and another group was sent in October 1876. In 1877, Young discussed the idea of colonizing parts of northern Mexico, but it was considered unwise due to the considerable danger from Apache raiders in the area. Young died later that year and leadership of the church fell to John Taylor as the president of the Quorum of the 12 Apostles. John Taylor was ordained as prophet in 1880.
Taylor continued Young's policy of missionary work in Mexico, and through the early 1880s colonization was considered on several occasions without effort to begin the process. However, in 1882, the Edmunds Act was passed by the United States Congress. This was part of the by then 20 year struggle by the US government to curb the LDS practice of plural marriage in Utah Territory and other locations in the American West. Among other things, the law felonized the practice of polygamy and disenfranchised polygamists. As a result, over a thousand Latter-day Saint men and women were eventually fined and jailed. Some were sent as far away as Michigan to fulfill their terms.
In 1885, President John Taylor purchased 100,000 acres of land in Mexico. This act allowed over 350 Latter-day Saint families who practiced polygamy from Utah and Arizona to settle land in Mexico. This was a very strenuous task, but it allowed the men the opportunity to keep their multiple wives without being fined and jailed. These people started their own farming colonies and established their settlements in Chihuahua and Sonora, where they focused their labors on sheep, cattle, wheat, row crops, and fruit orchards.[1]
The anti-foreign sentiment of The Mexican Revolution in 1910 made life there for the Latter-day Saint colonists difficult with many threats; the colonists returned to the United States. When it was decided it was safe, less than one-quarter of the previous population re-settled to Mexico; most of the refugees returned to their Utah and Arizona colonies of origin. The Mexican Latter-day Saints' colonies did not return to their previous success due to the poor living conditions and farming land. Only two colonies remain: Colonia Dublán and Colonia Juárez.[2]
Members of the Pratt-Romney family have roots in these colonies, including Marion G. Romney and George W. Romney having been born there.
Plateau Colonies
Mountain Colonies
Sonora Colonies
Other areas[edit]
Many Mormon settlements in the United States are in areas that at one time belonged to Mexico, but nearly all of these were already part of the United States at the time of settlement. The exception is Salt Lake City itself, which was settled in the spring of 1847 in what was at the time legally a remote part of Alta California; however the ongoing territorial disputes incident to the Mexican-American War brought the area officially under US control in 1848 as part of the Mexican Cession.
Mormon Colonies in Mexico is also the title of a 1938 book by Thomas Cottam Romney. The book details the story of Mormons who sought refuge in Mexico after fleeing from US authorities for polygamy. The book is published by the University of Utah Press.[3]

How to buy a Nintendo Rosalina amiibo in Japan
I have a simple question that I'm unable to answer with English google-fu: How does one buy a Nintendo Rosalina amiibo figurine in Japan? They're outrageously priced in the US and I'd like to beg a friend currently living in Japan to pick one up for me. But how/where? Is it readily available as an online order with domestic shipping?

How will one Wiimote work with a Wii and a Wii U set up?
Just bought a Wii U and I'm waiting for it to arrive. I plan on using my regular Wii still, probably for Homebrew, but I'm wondering what will happen when I try to use one Wiimote with two devices that recognize it. Is that going to be a problem? Will I have to unplug one or just deal with it running in the background on a different input?
Does blowing in a video game cartridge actually do anything?
Since the first Nintendo game console came out in the 80's, I can recall everyone I know (myself included) blowing into the game cartridge and/or the Nintendo itself when something went wrong (freezing, etc.). What is the premise for doing this (I saw other people do it, and sometimes it seemed to work, so that's why I did, thinking maybe dustiness/debris was the issue...), and is there any legit evidence that this really fixes things?

Best/cheap Pokemon title for Nintendo 3DS?
So I have never played any of the Pokemon titles, but they seem like something I would like.

Which Pokemon title for the 3DS would be OK to start with, assuming I've never played any of them, with bonus points for an older one that might be cheaper? Or should I have started playing from the first title and I'll be hopelessly lost about the gameplay now? [more inside]

Smoke on the Water - Yanmar Question
We have a Yanmar 3 Cyclinder Diesel in our Sailboat. Can't recall the exact model, but it is FWC.
Normally we just use it to get in and out of the harbor, about 20 minutes for each run. I let the engine warm up (idle) for about 5 minutes before taking off from the mooring and a few minutes before putting it in gear to return home. We normally run it around 1800 to 2000 rpm on the motor out and in. When we return and latch on to the mooring, we let it idle for a few minutes to cool the motor down before shutting her down.
This weekend, the winds were strong and were blowing boats in all directions on the mooring field. Normally, my wife parks the boat right on top of the mooring with no problem on the first shot while I fetch the PU Buoy. This week we missed the PU Buoy for the first time by a few feet because just as I went for the buoy, a strong gust blew the bow away from the mooring just outside of my reach.
To regain steerage, she put a decent amount of throttle to start the circle turn to bring us back. As soon as she put a lot of throttle to it, lot's of white smoke came out of the exhaust. I have never seen this much before, but then again we've never missed the mooring and needed to almost fully gun it to regain control. Like I said, we don't run the engine for long, so maybe it was just some built up junk.
Once on the mooring, I put it in neutral again and ramped up the engine to see if smoke continued, but nothing. I hoping it was just blowing out some soot. At least it wasn't blue smoke.
Bottom line, should I be concerned? Plenty of clean oil, fuel is clean, and engine doesn't overheat, belts look good, only 500 h on motor.

Out of Africa(1985)The most acclaimed motion picture of 1985 stars Robert Redford and Meryl Streep in one of the screen's great epic romances. Directed by Oscar winner Sydney Pollack, Out of Africa is the fascinating true story of Karen Blixen, a strong-willed woman who, with her philandering husband (Klaus Maria Brandauer), runs a coffee plantation in Kenya, circa 1914. To her astonishment, she soon discovers herself falling in love with the land, its people, and a mysterious white hunter (Redford). The masterfully crafted, breathtakingly produced story of love and loss earned Oscars for Best Picture, Director, Screenplay (based on material from another medium), cinematography, Original Score, Art Direction (Set Decoration) and Sound. For more about Out of Africa and the Out of Africa Blu-ray release, see Out of Africa Blu-ray Review published by Jeffrey Kauffman on April 25, 2010 where this Blu-ray release scored 4.0 out of 5. Director: Sydney Pollack Writer: Kurt Luedtke Starring: Meryl Streep, Robert Redford, Klaus Maria Brandauer, Michael Gough, Michael Kitchen, Leslie Phillips » See full cast & crew Out of Africa Blu-ray, Video QualityI'm about to commit heresy, if not outright blasphemy, so I am prepared for the brickbats. I never saw Out of Africa in the theaters, but I have owned it on both VHS and DVD, and I have found each home video incarnation to be remarkably ugly from an image standpoint, something that has nothing to do with Watkin's exceptional cinematography. Unfortunately, that trend continues with a lackluster Blu-ray presentation, delivered via an AVC codec in 1080p and an aspect ratio of 1.85:1. First, the good news: contrast is noticeably better than the SD-DVD, though that is offset somewhat by a rather peculiar color shift toward the red side, especially in the skin tones. But the many night scenes offer a new wealth of detail due to wonderfully rich black levels and good, solid contrast. The bad news is sadly more dramatic. First of all, some of the disappointment is simply due to the superior resolution of the Blu-ray, which offers a sometimes unwanted peek into the filmmaker's craft. For instance, I had never before realized that the two shots of Streep and Brandauer early in the film were obviously made before either a green screen or rear projection, something that is all too apparent in this incarnation. But even more troubling is an omnipresent softness, coupled with a lot of grain, that just gives a sort of dirty feel to a lot of the film. There are also the ugly halos of edge enhancement, which you can spot as early as in the scene with the biplane, where the support struts clearly show the effect. The source elements themselves also show occasional specks and other damage. Things aren't uniformly depressing. There is certainly an uptick in clarity and depth of field is quite dramatic at times. Close-ups certainly fare better in the detail department, as might be expected, but overall there is a noticeable improvement, albeit slight, over the SD-DVD. I just don't think it's enough of an improvement for anyone to get too excited about. Out of Africa Blu-ray, Audio QualityThis isn't the most robust or immersive DTS-HD MA 5.1 track you've ever heard, but it gets the job done rather nicely, and in fact does provide some wonderfully rich and satisfying recreations of the African soundworld. From the quietest buzzing of insects to the thundering roar of a devastating fire, we're offered a perhaps somewhat subdued rendering, especially in the low end, that nonetheless is clear and for the most part quite convincing. Dialogue is uniformly front and center, with foley effects and underscore filling the surround channels. Some of the ambient effects are very pleasing indeed, from the rustle of leaves and gurgling of water to the sounds of African wildlife. Barry's score and the source cues are all mixed very well into the proceedings, though I found the balance between dialogue and score to be a bit unevenly weighted to the score's detriment. There's not a lot here that is going to set your subwoofer jumping across your floorboards, but all in all this is a crisp and nicely directional outing that calmy envelops the listener in the soundfield.

CONTENTS · BIBLIOGRAPHIC�RECORD · SUBJECT INDEX Edward William Bok (18631930). The Americanization of Edward Bok. 1921. |
On his way back from the West, he stopped in Philadelphia again to consult his friend, George W. Childs; and here he found the only person who was ready to encourage him to make the change. Bok now laid the matter before his mother, in whose feminine instinct he had supreme confidence. With her, he met with instant discouragement. But in subsequent talks he found that her opposition was based not upon the possibilities inherent in the position, but on a mothers natural disinclination to be separated from one of her sons. In the case of Fanny Davenports offer the mothers instinct was strong against the proposition itself. But in the present instance it was the mothers love that was speaking; not her instinct or judgment. Bok now consulted his business associates, and, to a man, they discouraged the step, but almost invariably upon the argument that it was suicidal to leave New York. He had now a glimpse of the truth that there is no man so provincially narrow as the untravelled New Yorker who believes in his heart that the sun rises in the East River and sets in the North River. He realized more keenly than ever before that the decision rested with him alone. On September 1, 1889, Bok wrote to Mr. Curtis, accepting the position in Philadelphia; and on October 13 following he left the Scribners, where he had been so fortunate and so happy, and, after a weeks vacation, followed where |

Daewoo Replacement Trans Filters
Advanced design and assembly techniques are the secrets of the legendary durability of Daewoo vehicles. Better power and performance is no problem with factory authorized options designed to improve the engine and guidance components. A clogged Transmission Filter should be replaced with a clean filter because dirt and impurities eventually will stop up your Transmission Filter and reduce smooth shifting and may harm your transmission. The Transmission Filter is intended to separate impurities from transmission fluid. Your vehicle's Transmission Filter is a critical element of your vehicle's healthy performance. In some ways your vehicle's Transmission Filter has a similar function as the oil filter. Any automobile will need replacement components from time to time, so when that time comes Partsgeek.com is the place to find all the parts you could need. The Daewoo you chose was manufactured using care and craftsmanship; it needs new OEM components with a similar high level of quality.
It was very easy to navigate through the website to order parts, the order was shipped and delivered in a timely manner.
Greta shipping. I paid for 2 day shipping and part came in 1 day. This company delivered great serviec at an amazing price. I saved over $150.00 on my new HID bulb.

Just walked to campus at 730. Pretty neat site. Ames PD every 50 feet or so, security being prepped for entrance. Big machines and buses blocking lots of space. Line of a hundred or more on Morrill drive. Pretty cool event, regardless of party. Wish these things happened when I was in school.

I will be on campus soon and will have to check this out! I would like to see Obama speak too but I didn't care to wait a long time to get a ticket. Here's to hoping there is a way I can walk up when the time comes (not holding my breath on it)

The early B-29's had multiple problems primarily with engines overheating, oil leaks, etc. As a result, on leaving the States for India, we carried a spare engine in the forward bomb bay. I like to think it was the only 5-engine aircraft in service. I used my spare engine on the way over in Natal, Brazil.

Some are puzzled by the big-box expansion in Target's hometown.
Associate Dan Kruger looked for the right spot on the grocery shelf to stock colored toothpicks at the new Andover store's opening day Wednesday.
Andover Mayor Mike Gamache was up at sunrise Wednesday to help cut the ribbon on his city's new Wal-Mart. So was the Anoka County sheriff, the city fire chief, a crowd of shoppers hungry for deals, along with a smattering of union protesters.
In August, Blaine Mayor Tom Ryan stood in front of his city's new Wal-Mart supercenter just off Central Avenue ushering in the new retailer. Last week, Ryan praised the new jobs and north-metro shopping opportunities created, but puzzled a bit over the rash of Wal-Marts opening.
"We still can't figure out why they are putting them so close," Ryan said.
This year, Wal-Mart has opened three supercenters in Minnesota, all in the north metro. Now supercenters are in Andover, Blaine and Princeton. Wal-Mart had four new supercenters open in 2012, including one in Brooklyn Center in September 2012. With its aggressive north-metro expansion, Wal-Mart has eclipsed Target on its home turf. Minnesota now has 79 Wal-Marts and Sam's Clubs vs. 75 Targets.
And north-metro shoppers can expect more.
A Wal-Mart supercenter is under construction in Roseville, and the big-box retailer filed a development application earlier this month to build another supercenter in Blaine near the 35W-Lexington Avenue interchange. The newly opened supercenters join nine existing north-metro Wal-Mart stores.
"We continue to be selective when choosing new store locations to ensure we make the best use of our capital from a long-term perspective and build a store that is a good fit for each community where we do business, including our hometown," said Target spokeswoman Anne Christensen, in an e-mail.
The north metro may have long been Target territory, but Wal-Mart now has that part of the Twin Cities in its bull's-eye. North-metro city officials and analysts cite a host of reasons for Wal-Mart's aggressive expansion. There's room — both acreage and market share — for additional big-box retailers in the north metro. Wal-Mart is capitalizing on that opportunity, often opening stores across the street from existing Targets.
Generally, opposition hasn't been as insurmountable as in other areas of the Twin Cities. And Anoka County shoppers, long price sensitive, welcome the competition, said Andover City Administrator Jim Dickinson.
'Engine for growth'
The first Wal-Mart opened in Minnesota in 1986, more than two decades after the first Target in the nation opened in Roseville.
Wal-Mart opened its first Anoka County store in Coon Rapids in 1990. Now all but seven in the state are supercenters offering groceries and general merchandise.
"The supercenter is Wal-Mart's engine for growth. Customers prefer the convenience of one-stop shopping for general merchandise and groceries," said Wal-Mart spokeswoman Delia Garcia. "We continue to see opportunities to grow and serve our customers in Minnesota and particularly the north metro."
Minneapolis retail consultant Jim McComb cites a couple of reasons the north metro could appeal to Wal-Mart vs. other Twin Cities suburbs.
"It may be easier to find 20-acre sites in the north metro. Generally across the north metro, it's less highly developed. It's a lot tougher to find 20 acres in the south metro that are a good retail location," McComb said. "The income profile in the north metro is a little lower than the south metro. That is more consistent with Wal-Mart's core customer."
The mayor of Blaine said there was little opposition to the new supercenter on Ulysses Street, just off Central Avenue on the city's west side. The Wal-Mart is less than a mile from an existing SuperTarget.
Ryan said he welcomed the 300 jobs and the deals.
"I go there. I shop there. I like the store," Ryan said.

Restricted to UT campus only 4MB |
Abstract: | The second workshop on Searching Spontaneous Conversational Speech (SSCS 2008) was held in Singapore on July 24, 2008 in conjunction with the 31st Annual International ACM SIGIR Conference. The goal of the workshop was to bring the speech community and the information retrieval community together. The forum was designed to be conducive to the close interaction and the intense discussion necessary to promote fusion of these fields into a single discipline with a concerted vision of spoken content retrieval. The proceedings contain papers on a wide range of topics including vocabulary independent search, spoken term detection, combination of models/indexes, use of speech recognition lattices for search, segmentation, temporal analysis, benchmarking, exploitation of prosody, speech surrogates for user interfaces and multi-language collections. A workshop reprot has been published in ACM SIGIR Forum, issue December 2008. |

The Fool's Errand
The Fool's Errand | |
Macintosh cover art for The Fool's Errand |
Developer(s) | Cliff Johnson |
Publisher(s) | Miles Computing |
Platform(s) | Mac OS, MS-DOS, Amiga, Atari ST |
Release date(s) | 1987 |
Genre(s) | Puzzle |
Mode(s) | Single-player |
Distribution | Floppy disk(s) |
The Fool's Errand is a 1987 computer game by Cliff Johnson. It is a meta-puzzle game with storytelling, visual puzzles and a cryptic treasure map. It is the tale of a wandering Fool who seeks his fortune in the Land of Tarot and braves the enchantments of the High Priestess.
A sequel titled The Fool and His Money was released October 25, 2012.
Release information[edit]
The game was originally written for the Apple Macintosh and ported to MS-DOS, Commodore Amiga and Atari ST. The ports add color, but in a lower resolution (320x200, as opposed to the original version's 512x342). Johnson's site advises PC-based players to download the Macintosh version and play using an emulator, specifically mentioning Executor, but other open source emulators will work as well.
The non-Macintosh versions of the game were protected by a symbol-based code wheel. The version offered free of charge given by the author has this mechanism disabled: the challenge screen still appears, but any answer is accepted.[citation needed]
Computer Gaming World had high praise for the game, saying "You feel like you're matching wits with the author directly, instead of playing 'hunt the parser'"[1] and describing it as "one of the best games I've ever played".[2]
The Fool's Errand won the following awards:
- 1988 MacWorld Game Hall of Fame
- 1989 GAMES Magazine Best Puzzle Game of the Year
The game is structured as a storybook divided into five parts, each containing a large number of different chapters; the storybook can be paged through and read as continuous prose on screen. However, not every chapter is available at the start of the game, and those chapters which are available are not consecutive. Many chapters have a puzzle (called an enchantment) associated with them; completing such a puzzle unlocks further chapter(s). Every chapter is named after a tarot card in either the Major Arcana or the Minor Arcana.
Frequently, the puzzles are designed in such a way that the result of the puzzle leads logically into the unlocked chapter; for example, the player may complete an acrostic puzzle which results in the phrase "No Ship", which then unlocks part of the story in which a watchperson indeed reports that no ship has been sighted and deals with the consequences. Other puzzles feature pictures which portray parts of the story, or even clues to other puzzles.
The very first chapter, The Sun, features the puzzle The Sun's Map. This is a jigsaw puzzle with one piece for every chapter in the story; each puzzle piece appears only when the appropriate chapter is unlocked. Each piece contains a symbol representing the chapter from which it came, plus part of a continuous path which flows through all pieces in the order in which they are mentioned in the narrative. Once the map is successfully completed, other designs on the map become active click targets and can be used as clues or processes to decipher the true final puzzle: The Book Of Thoth, hidden within the chapter The High Priestess, which requires the reader to peruse the entire story as continuous prose and identify a number of phrases hidden within the narrative.

Though he had seen occasional action at third base from time to time, Anthony Rendon had made the mental switch to second base last summer, once he arrived in Washington and found himself with an opportunity to play every day at an unfamiliar position. His defensive work has paid dividends; he has become a quality second baseman in a short amount of time.
But the Nationals have known all along Rendon would be their backup plan at third base, especially if anything happened to Ryan Zimmerman. So the 23-year-old found himself back at the hot corner Sunday afternoon and again Tuesday night, trying to get comfortable playing his old position again.
I guess it works the other way around a little bit easier, because I came from third base," he said. "It's still a little bit of an adjustment. But that's what the game of baseball is, making adjustments."
Rendon appeared to adjust just fine Tuesday night. He made a spectacular play in the top of the seventh, charging in to field Reed Johnson's bunt barehanded and in one motion fire a perfect strike to first base for a key out in what became the Nationals' 5-0 victory over the Marlins.
Though Rendon's experience in college and the minors making that play surely helped, so did the Nationals' pregame scouting report, which noted that Johnson was a threat to bunt. (Even if manager Matt Williams called an audible during that very at-bat.)
"It was in the back of my mind," Rendon said. "We went over the scouting report before the game. Funny story, two pitches before that, Williams was like: 'Hey, scoot back, he's going to swing.' So I'm 3-4 steps behind [third base]. And, whoop, he lays one down."
No worries, Rendon still was able to charge in and make the play, helping quash a potential Miami rally.
Of course, he also made a couple of Nationals rallies possible with a pair of two-out, run-scoring hits. Rendon wound up driving in three runs, giving him eight RBI for the season (one behind team leader Adam LaRoche) to go along with a .407 batting average.
Zimmerman hopes to be back at third base tonight, having decided to alter his throwing motion in an attempt to play through shoulder pain. So Rendon most likely will return to second base for the time being.
But Williams sleeps much better at night knowing he has a more-than-capable third baseman ready and available if needed again.
"It's great," the manager said. "We don't want Ryan down. But if something like this does happen and he has to be out for a couple of days, then we have not only Anthony, but we have Danny (Espinosa) that can play Gold Glove defense [at second base]. And that's one of the reasons that both of them are on our team. Because if something does happen like this, we can put guys in different spots and they perform. That's a great luxury to have."
- sunshinebobby - Apr 9, 2014 at 10:59 AM
The minute that Rendon made that nifty one-handed sidearm ACCURATE throw on that bunt last night, the Zim-to-first-base movement became legitimate. If Espi ever hits .230 at second base, Zim becomes a part-time third baseman. And probably the most expensive pinch-hitter in baseball.
- pdowdy83 - Apr 9, 2014 at 11:19 AM
Zim makes throws like that without problems so I'm not sure that is a completely fair assessment. Let's give the guy a chance with the adjustments he made the last few days before we turn him into a bench player.
- ehay2k - Apr 9, 2014 at 11:22 AM
I believe that Zim can still play 3rd. BUT, If Rendon turns out to be a better 3b, in terms of defense and durability, then it makes sense to move Zim to where his defense is not a hindrance and his bat is still in play. 1b seems to be that place. It's not a demotion, except perhaps in Zim's eyes.
- Danny - Apr 9, 2014 at 11:25 AM
You do realize that this team needs LaRoche, Zimmerman, and Rendons Nats to be in the lineup. Taking Zim out gives more at bats to Espy.. Big drop off in production. We just have to hope Zim can figure out his throwing.
- adcwonk - Apr 9, 2014 at 12:01 PM
ALR leads the team in walks, runs scored, OBP, RBI's, walks, SLG
I wouldn't be so fast to put him on the bench to make room for RZ.
- tcostant - Apr 9, 2014 at 11:22 AM
I was impressed with the play. Interestingly, when I watched the reply I'm pretty sure that ball would have went foul if not touched. It had a major curve to it – I did not think that in real time. Wound if anyone else noticed that. It was a great play!
- Exposremains - Apr 9, 2014 at 11:33 AM
The front office and manager knows Zim is done at 3rd base..this has been going on for years and nothing has change. They're not that blind. The problem is like Mark said the other day, there's not much they can do about it while Laroche is on the team. It will be hard to trade Laroche and who says that Espinosa will be any good over a long period. So for now, Williams goes with the party line and says generic stuff like Zim is our 3rd baseman and next time a routine ground ball goes to him , everybody will close thier eyes and get a little tense.
- masterfishkeeper - Apr 9, 2014 at 11:35 AM
Marlins are going to start Brad Hand, a lefthander, tonight as an emergency replacement for Turner. Wonder if we'll see Zim at first?
- Mrsb loves the Nats - Apr 9, 2014 at 11:48 AM
Makes you wonder if Bryce goes down to the 6th/7th spot… also if Span moves out of the lead off…
- Eric - Apr 9, 2014 at 12:01 PM
Is he exceptional? Does he have good stamina? If the answer to either of those things is "no," My guess is LaRoche will be at first regardless of whether or not Zim is able to go.
- realdealnats - Apr 9, 2014 at 1:11 PM
I suspect they will leave ALR in at 1B since he is seeing the ball well. And they probably want to test Zim's throwing motion at 3B. Keep it Win/Win as long as possible with the choices.
- tcostant - Apr 9, 2014 at 1:33 PM
If a LH is going tonight Zimm has to play 1B.
- therealjohnc - Apr 9, 2014 at 2:49 PM
Adam LaRoche vs. LHP in 2014: 2-5, one BB, one K.
Danny Espinosa vs. LHP in 2014: 0-7, no BB, two K's, generally looked awful.And more particularly: ALR career versus Brad Hand: 2-3 with a HR and a BB.
No, Zim is NOT going to play 1b tonight. The best alignment is still ALR, Rendon, Desmond and Zim in the infield.
- zmunchkin - Apr 9, 2014 at 11:48 AM
I don't think there was ever much doubt that Rendon could play 3rd. And I suspect that is one of the reasons that there was never much doubt that Espi would be the utility infielder.
But I think it is still too early to be talking about RZ moving to first for the rest of his career. That is why they worked on changing his throwing motion so he always (really almost always) uses that sidearm motion that has never been a problem. If he can do that and it minimizes the pain, and the throwing problems, I suspect that you will see him as an occasional first baseman and probably the DH in AL parks.
RZ's bat is very good for 3rd. But it is average, at best, for 1b.
- Doc - Apr 9, 2014 at 11:48 AM
I was wrong about ARen. I've often said that he would win a batting title in a few years.
Tony could win it this year!
Over time NIs we'll probably be arguing who was the better Nats' draft pick—Rendon or Harper!!
- natinalsgo - Apr 9, 2014 at 1:57 PM
Great post Doc and that debate hopefully will be a positive debate!

WaPo with a good post on Stadium naming rights.
- zmunchkin - Apr 9, 2014 at 12:11 PM
I still remember the effort by the DC City Council in the last months of the final season at RFK to rename the field at RFK (they could not rename the stadium) to:
Taxation Without Representation Field at Robert F Kennedy Memorial Stadium
A real mouthful, but it sent a message they wanted to publicize since all broadcasts are required to use the complete name at least once (and maybe more).
- Ghost of Steve M. - Apr 9, 2014 at 12:24 PM
Under Armour is the perfect partner for the Nats for naming rights. It's a perfect match and Under Armour is buying buildings in DC to expand their brand.
- sjm308 - Apr 9, 2014 at 12:32 PM
Can you post that link?
It's probably mentioned but who gets that money?
- Section 222 - Apr 9, 2014 at 12:40 PM
In Quick Pitch last night,/this morning, MLB Network had a cool split screen comparing Rendon's play last night and a Zimmerman play. Looked very similar although Rendon's throw got to1B a split second earlier. He threw a bullet.
- Ghost of Steve M. - Apr 9, 2014 at 2:02 PM
That was a nice video they ran. I wrote about that this morning also. Agree on Anthony's throw but what did you think of the cutaway to Zimmerman in the dugout turning his head and chewing his gum.
- naterialguy - Apr 9, 2014 at 12:55 PM
I've always the discovery channel would be good to buy the naming rights.
Discovery park sounds good to me
- Ghost of Steve M. - Apr 9, 2014 at 2:05 PM
That's another good one NaterialGuy. I'm probably not letting any cat out of the bag but Exxon Mobil wanted the naming rights and Mister Mr. Lerner didn't think they were the right fit. I think they would be a fit now. I think the issue then was oil prices were skyrocketing and gas was over $4 a gallon.

What do you think of the
Mammut Rider Chalk Bag
? Share a...
Here's what others have to say...
Ethan V.
Can you fit a cell phone in the pocket?
Jon F
With how massive most modern smart phones are these days I don't think one of those would fit in the zipped compartment. Maybe an older flip phone would.
Its a chalk bag
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I bought this about 10 months ago and use it about 3 or 4 times a week. There are a couple things about this bag, 1. Its small. If you have medium to large hands then you might be fighting with this bag a bit the get the amount of chalk on your hand you want. 2. The drawcord often gets stuck and i have to wiggle it around to re seal my chalk bag.
On the plus side it has a nice compartment on the side with a zipper you can place a toothbrush in or a ring, bracelet or necklace. Next chalk bag I purchase I think will be a little bit larger for my large hands.
Grant Burton
Got chalk?
The first pendulum swing on P2 of Arm and Hammer. Glad I chalked up before I scurried across this section.
Grant Burton
Everything you need for sweaty climbing
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Now there isnt much to a chalk bag, after all it is just a bag right? I like this one because it has a nice little pocket on the outside and a big ol' fleece liner. The cord is very user friendly and easy to cinch shut when I dont need to access my chalk. I also like how the bright red sticks out among the chalk bags at the climbing gym. As someone who has lost a couple chalk bags this way its a great feature. This is a great item to have for when the sun starts warming the granite up.
Clay Price
does the trick
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
the fleece lining on the inside is pretty dope, its a little small for my hands (which are a medium/large in latex gloves) with the chalk sock by metolius but I can still get my them covered just fine. got it in red and the kids seem to love it. the little pocket is good to have too, I keep a couple bucks in there for an emergency drink at the gym. seems like it should hold up well too.
my only gripe is that I cant get it to close all the way so theres a little 1/2 inch opening at the top but it still keeps most everything in as long as you don't jump on it.
Austin Knight
Looks Rad, My Hands Love It
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I ordered the red bag, it looks sick! I've used it a handful of times at the bouldering gym. It serves it purpose well, I carry a chalk ball in it right now and seem to have good room to get my hands in the bag. I do have slim/skinny hands so I think it could be a problem if you hands are bigger. I like the little zipper pocket, I usually throw my ring in there while I climb.
Lauren Gray
Great Chalk Bag
It holds chalk like no other!
This chalk bag looks great! it is also pretty durable and as said before, it does its job in holding chalk. I like the zippered pocket that is on the side. I don't actually put anything in it but if i needed to I would have a pocket to use! It also has a small pocket for a brush. The only gripe I have for this bag is unlike many bags made by prAna, it does not have a huge amount of room to put your whole hand in and get every crevice of your hand covered in chalk.

I want to make quilt for small children in South Sudan. What size do you suggest? Love the childrens happy quilts like Ted's in bed and the girly ones.
Hi Igpen2270463, the size would depend on what you want them for, for a single bed they could be 57"X87", for a quilt to wrap themselves in it could be about 50" square would be plenty

he got me last summer. i dropped my sister's birthday cake. totally worth it tho lol.
Only the lovely sf
Hahahaha. The first time I went to San Francisco I was greeted by a homeless man at a gas station who began to fervently wash our car windows, completely oblivious to his pants hanging below his exposed bare ass. Classiccccc.
Bush Man is still around?
@ ONE_HUNG_LOW Yes!!!!!!!! Best bum ever!!!!!!
Bush man!!
Gotta love my hometown :)
Sounds like any day in the Tenderloin.
That could get it's own tvshow
Based on timing, im gonna guess outside lands.
character building at its finest
I wouldn't call any other place home!
Good ole California
Seriously I think I've seen this bum before, I've seen him beat a newspaper machine, "I told you, you better pay up!" Was this around Market and 4th?
Clearly, this man mistook that trash can for his blonde wife
I wanna visit now. I'd lose a lot betting on inanimate objects though.
I think I saw that same guy drop some asparagus he was eating out of a jar on the street; he then picked it back up and kept eating it.....
Aww man. The bush mans been gone lately. \nBut the Haight has some awesome crazies. I <3 the Bay Area.
