2013-08-27 - Legendary Brazilian metal icons SEPULTURA have revealed the cover artwork and track listing for the band's forthcoming album, »The Mediator Between Head And Hands Must Be The Heart«, which is set for European release on October 25th via Nuclear Blast. The artwork was created by Brazilian artist Alexandre Wagner, who specializes in charcoal drawing techniques.
In preparing the statements below, SEPULTURA guitarist Andreas Kisser & artist Alexandre Wagner collaborated with Brazilian journalist Emanuel Leite, Jr. to gather their thoughts.
Here, Kisser reveals how he discovered the work of Alexandre Wagner:
"It was an indication of Silvio Bibika, who was my roadie for a long time. He always shows me things in general that SEPULTURA might need. He told me about Alexandre - who is from Belo Horizonte [in Brazil, where SEPULTURA was founded] - a year ago. So before we went to the United States to record the album, I was at his house to talk about the cover, tell him the album title, and talk about the concept of the film Metropolis so he could do something original. But when I saw the picture with the drawing, I thought it was all about what we wanted and we did not need something new. I also asked him to do a tribal 'S' in the cover's style, which will be on the back cover."
Album artist Alexandre Wagner comments on his creation:
"This series of work in charcoal drawing [for the album] I did when I still lived in Belo Horizonte. They were all made there and are quick drawings without much reference, almost an experimentation that may have come from a desire to use the most basic of basic materials - coal, paper and wood. The cover design was ready, Andreas saw and liked it. We talked a little more and I also sent some other pictures for the booklet. I was pleased with the choice of the theme of the album; I like [Austrian filmmaker] Fritz Lang very much and not to mention only Metropolis, but Dr. Mabuse der Spieler [Dr. Mabuse: The Gambler, Lang's 1922 film] is a fucking movie!"
A fellow Mineiro from Belo Horizonte, Alexandre is glad to be part of SEPULTURA's history.
"It's impossible being from Belo Horizonte and not know the band," he says. "Some of their albums followed me for a long time, especially [1993's] »Chaos A.D.«. I remember seeing 'Refuse/Resist' on TV and thinking that was wonderful. It's really cool to work with the guys, being part of something together. It is somehow a shared history."

The track listing for the album is:
01. Trauma Of War
02. The Vatican
03. Impending Doom
04. Manipulation of Tragedy
05. Tsunami
06. The Bliss Of Ignorants
07. Grief
08. The Age Of The Atheist
09. Obsessed
10. Da Lama Ao Caos (Chico Science & Nação Zumbi cover)
»The Mediator Between Head And Hands Must Be The Heart« was recorded with renowned producer Ross Robinson (KORN, MACHINE HEAD, FEAR FACTORY), who worked with SEPULTURA on their landmark 1996 release »Roots«, and co-produced by Steve Evetts (THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN, SYMPHONY X, INCANTATION), who previously worked on SEPULTURA's »Roorback« (2003), the »Revolusongs« EP (2002), and »Nation« (2001).

|Selling class: constructing the professional middle class in America
|Pfafman, Tessa M.
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|To understand the role of mediated messages in organizational socialization, this study analyzes the constructions of class and gender in popular business advice books (BABs). The books are used as training tools in many organizations, so to understand the role of BABs in indoctrinating employees into organizational culture, this study asks the following research questions. What are the ideological messages regarding work and organizing within BABs? What do the ideological messages of BABs reveal about power in organizing? In what ways to BABs gender the workplace? One function of BABs is to articulate norms that institutionally reproduce capitalist modes of work. Thus BABs serve as tools for organizational indoctrination and larger scale social control. Analysis finds these BABs construct ideal, submissive, and compliant employees by diagnosing unruly employees as psychologically dysfunctional and subsequently prescribing therapeutic cures that align individual interests with those of the organization. By focusing the reader on the inner psychological-self, the books diffuse resentment towards executive class privilege. This study concludes that BABs serve to sell readers on socio-economic class stratification by constructing professional middle class norms for work and personal life. Specifically the books construct perceptions of choice, norms of success and failure, attitudes towards education and money, and a spiritual faith in American corporations. Consequently, the books de-politicize by feminizing the professional middle class.

29 Jones St., Norcross678-291-9220 On The Menu • Irish spring rolls Stuffed with corned beef, Swiss cheese and cabbage lightly fried and served with 1,000 Island dipping sauce, $8.95 • Classic pepperoni tortizza Rich marinara, think slices of Italian pepperoni and melted mozzarella cheese served over olive oil drizzled on a tortilla, $9.95 • Norfolk pot pie Roasted chicken breast braised in garlic, onions, carrots and peas in a thick, white sauce topped with a pastry shell, $9.95 • Meatloaf A blend of Italian sausage and ground beef stuffed with spinach and mozzarella served with mashed potatoes and gravy, $10.95 www.dunwoodyrestaurantgroup.com • Open since: 2005 • Location: Iron Horse Tavern is located just off the main street that runs through downtown Norcross. • Hours: 11:30 a.m. to 1 a.m. Monday through Thursday, 11:30 a.m. to 2 a.m. Fridays, noon to 2 a.m. Saturdays and noon to midnight Sundays • Owner: Dunwoody Restaurant Group bought out the Norcross Tavern and renamed it Iron Horse about a year later. The pub is the group's only establishment in Gwinnett. • Atmosphere: The building Iron Horse Tavern calls home is about 130 years old, with its original exposed brick walls and wood flooring. Booth, table and bar seating are available with flatscreen TVs scattered throughout the restaurant. Farther back to the rear of the establishment, three dart boards hang on a wall in a semi-private area and a pool table is set up just outside the entrance to the kitchen. During winter months, customers can enjoy a meal beside the large fireplace. A raised patio spans the length of the building outside with patio seating under bright yellow umbrellas. General Manager Mike Holley said the patio is a popular place come the end of a workday and especially on weekends when the weather is nice. • Menu: One of the most popular items on the menu at Iron Horse Tavern is a colossal burger known as the original Dunwoody Doozie. It's a half-pound of meat topped with bacon, cheese, tomato, lettuce and onion rings that towers above the plate, dwarfing the soup, salad, fries or curried potato chips that are your choice of sides. Along with the Doozie, the most popular dishes are the Tuscan sarnie — grilled, sliced chicken, oven-fried tomato, fresh basil (grown behind the tavern) and mozzarella cheese on grilled ciabatta bread served with basil mayo — and the bangers and mash — traditional English sausages served on a bed of mashed potatoes and gravy. Tortizzas — olive oil drizzled on a tortilla and served pizza style with a choice of toppings — salads, soups, a bevy of appetizers and a couple main courses round out the menu. Iron Horse Tavern serves beer, wine and liquor, with summer drinks currently on special that are heavy on the fruit — melon, strawberry, banana and raspberry. • Things you might not know: Iron Horse Tavern is one of the locations included in the Norcross ghost tours that introduce guests to local places suspected by some of being haunted. Holley said he sometimes hears noises late at night but hasn't come across any ghosts ... yet.

text: Since it seems the company wants to extend it's reach into as many places as possible, where would yo like a new resort to go up? After thinking, I think it'd be interesting if there was a Disneyland Australia. You have a chance to visit a pretty exotic location (to us), the language will also be english, so won't need to learn new phrases for it.. plus there may be an opportunity for a large amount of land to be developed on. Granted, I don't know how much land there is a nature preserve, etc, so any Aussies that may be here can correct me.

Everywhere I went in Basque Country chefs were telling me of the incredible beef grown there.

In a grill house on a hill I had the most wonderful chargrilled sirloin, but the chef there said the animal was no more than four years old.

A large statue of Buddha sits behind the DJ booth. Is this elevating the DJ to the status of spiritual leader?

http://www.blindbarber.com The Blind Barber's entrance is through a classic-looking barber shop, though unlike other "secret" bars, the front for the operation is very much part of the business. You can, for example, do the $40 drink-with-a-haircut combo. The egg white, Jameson, and honey-syrup-based Sweeney Todd, for example, is available to imbibe while you're getting that new 'do. The lounge in the back is of the antique-speakeasy variety, with vintage photography, sepia-colored illumination, and mahogany fixtures filling the room. The patrons here tend to look and act just like the Blind Barber's barbers: tattooed, tight-clothed, sociable. Read more about The Blind Barber >>
http://www.blindpignyc.com Sports fans of all colors and stripes flock to the Blind Pig for the cheap, greasy grub, the numerous games blaring live from huge flatscreen TVs, and the overall happy, dim, testosterone-soaked scene.

Well okay. Recent NYU grads have almost completely taken over this East Village dive, a staple on 7th Street since the 1950s'. But, amazingly, it's no worse for the designer wear. A decent spot for groups or even a (low-maintenance) date, the semi-private-if-you-want-them-to-be booths surround an always-occupied pool table. Take in a daytime soap or a Barbara Walters special on Tonya Harding (we love the surly bartenders' comparatively soft taste in television) over whiskey and a decent selection of beer. Everything seems to cost at least $2 less than it does everywhere else in the neighborhood. Read more about Blue and Gold Tavern >>

http://www.bourgeoispigny.com The original location of The Bourgeois Pig became so popular it soon outgrew its tiny boudoir-like space. Its latest, much larger incarnation across the street shares the same velvety atmosphere that made the first one such a popular spot for dates. Blood-red lighting, damask wallpaper, marble-topped tables and plush Victorian furniture all set the mood for love, just as long as the host can actually find a seat for you. The wine list, with bottles ranging from $32 to more than $100, focuses mainly on reds, whites and sparkling wines from France. Wine cocktails, sangria, champagne punch and beer cocktails are all treated with care, which is no surprise seeing as the bar is owned by Ravi DeRossi, who also runs the cocktail Mecca known as Death & Co. There is also an assortment of upscale snacks; charcuterie, bruschetta, cheese boards, sweets and, for the especially romantically inclined, a variety of fondue plates.

http://www.bowerywineco.com It takes its name from the Bowery, but there is nothing gritty or edgy about this place. Why, it's positively tourist-friendly, with its high ceilings, smooth lacquered surfaces and tall comfy leather booths; it's even partly owned by Bruce Willis. Only black-and-white photos of the Bowery in the early 20th Century give a clue to the area's past, that's if you can peel your eyes away from the flat-screen TV. Every one of its 20 or so wines are available by the glass. The three house wines are a nice affordable option, although everything is reasonably priced. Expect a selection of unique, international wines including some great sparkling varieties, many available in tasting flights of three. The menu is packed with crowd pleasers such as thin-crust pizzas, pastas like fettucine alfredo and penne ala vodka, Panini, meatballs and more.

http://www.bradsbrew.com Bucking collegiate drinking stereotypes, the unofficially NYU-affiliated Brad's serves up tasteful brews and not a drop of PBR. Don't let the boho cafeteria or the young crowd fool you: IPAs, pilsners, and other hopped-out specialties are on the menu, including Flying Dog's Raging Bitch, an essential. The place's motto, "Peace, Love, and Toasted Subs," applies during the day, whereas at night, the focus shifts to pizza--two meal categories that fit in perfectly with the beer drinker's diet. Read more about Brad's >>
http://www.ryansnyc.com Even St. Marks Place--land of tattoo parlors, gawking tourists, and $1 pizza slices--needs an Irish pub. Bull McCabe's fills that role ably: wood-paneled walls, a pool table, Guinness on tap, etc. However, it builds on the idea with some old-fashioned East Village grit: the rock 'n' roll-fueled jukebox, empty beer bottles scattered throughout, unabashed and conversational patrons. The two scenes go together like a beer and a shot, which is to say, far better than you anticipated. Read more about Bull McCabe's >>

Need a little jumpstart to kick your week off on this dreadful Monday morning, Upper East Siders? Have I got quite the video! As you know, the Ice Bucket Challenge to bring awareness and financial support to ALS research has gone viral, and celebs like Demi Lovato, Taylor Swift, and Selena Gomez have all taken part. But as more and more people accept the challenge, the more redundant it gets. Just leave it up to a boy band to add there own sexy twist to dumping a bucket of ice water on their heads….
Keaton and Wesley Stromberg of Emblem3 decided to donate their greatest assets to the cause–the boys did the challenge completely naked. Behold, darlings:
It appears that these guys don't mind being sans clothes. In fact, the last time I wrote about them was almost a year ago to the day when they posted a pic of themselves covering up their naughty bits with instruments in an effort
drum up publicity mock Justin Bieber.
Tell me, dolls: do you think this naked stunt takes away from the true meaning of the challenge, or is any amount of eyes on the cause–no matter how it's attracted–a good thing?

Wellington Phoenix invite Maradona to Boca Juniors match
Wellington Phoenix have invited Argentina legend and current national team boss Diego Maradona to their pre-season friendly with his former club Boca Juniors.
The Phoenix take on the Argentine outfit at Westpac Stadium on July 23 and club chief executive Nathan Greenham confirmed that Maradona had been targeted to attend the event following Argentina's exit from the World Cup.
"We're not sure, realistically, whether it will happen but, given their exit overnight, perhaps it will have a little more traction," Greenham told the Dominion Post.
Maradona, who made his name playing in Spain and Italy, made about 70 appearances for Boca Juniors in two stints – the first in 1981 and 1982 and the second in between 1995 and 1997.

Visit Dr. Jeremy Rogers and his welcoming staff at the Brandon office location of Tampa E.N.T.
it was very good , and if I need him again I would .
I was taken to the screening area almost immediately after affiving. Therefore, I was disappointed it took so long for the doctor to see me. However, I was pleased with all other aspects of the visit, including how we accomplished the procedure and his advice for followup. That is why I requested him by name from my insurer.
Very thorough and professional.
Dr Rogers is a very professional & knowledgable specialist. He has always taken great care of me.
I have had excellent care with this doctor
We see Dr. Rogers for my handicapped Uncle whom I am a guardian over. He takes special care with my Uncle and tries to interact with him. He tells me exactly what I need to do when it comes to his care and I like him because he is honest and up front with all information. He is a good doctor and I will continue to use him and highly recommend him to anyone looking for an ENT.
I had a great follow up visit with Dr. Rogers. He is courteous and relatable, able to answer all of my questions and even provided coupons for Rx. Would highly recommend Tampa ENT. Professional staff and easy to schedule appointments.
I had a great visit. Everyone was very professional and very nice. I liked the doctor alot. He addressed all my concerns and is following up on them all.
He addressed ally concerns.
Efficiant, friendly, and very knowledgeable.
when I first saw him last month it was such a relief to finally know what was wrong that others for a year and a half had not and giving me wrong medicine for it
Very pleasant-explained the process clearly-Office personnel courteous. I give the days experience a 5 star.
A very nice experience!
Highly recommended prompt service and professional!
Good bedside manner! Seems knowledgeable. Will reserve final opinion until I see what results I achieve.
Dr Rogers was awesome. An absolute blessing to have him in the medical community.
Very attentive, answered all questions without making you feel in a rush, felt comfortable with his diagnosis and trusted his judgement. Surgery went well and recovery was exactly as he had described. Now, I can BREATH! Thank you Dr. Rogers.
I highly recommend him Great Doctor.
Dr. Rogers has done a great job on my Sinusplasty and the follow up appointments. His nurse Sarah helped to relieve any doubt I had about the procedure. Thank you to both of them.
I like his ability to explain my choices for treatment.
I was told in the beginning Dr. Rogers was running late so I had no problems waiting.
He was great, listened, thorough. Highly recommend. Office staff polite. Audiologist great.
very good answered any questions that I needed
Love you guy's wait time was do him be in surgery so I didnt mind. Still wasn't all that long.
Great. saw me right away. gave me the greatest news, cancer has not returned! Everyone is and always has been very nice. Never any issues.
He gave me a lot of information on my issue and was very efficient with his time, right after seeing him I saw audiologist and went right back to see him and he came right in. Staff was very nice. I wouldn't hesitate to see him again.
The wait in the waiting area was extremely long. I am taking paid time off and every minute counts.
Dr. Jeremy is a true gem. He is skillful, a keen listener and a kind advisor. There are times you may have to wait before he sees you on your appointment day but that is because he gives personalized focused attention. I believe he is worth the wait for the quality service each patient receives.
Had to wait over any hour past my appointment time which doesn't include ariving 15 min early. Said they would call in my prescription. Got to pharmacy and they hadn't called it in. Very unprofessional!
Dr Rogers is great! I'm thrilled to have found this doctor. Part of feeling better is liking your doctor. Dr Rogers is a great listener and very attentive.
very thorough and considerate young doctor
Dr. Rogers is great but the wait in the office is horrendous.
Dr. Rogers is great but his staff makes me not want to come back. Ana is very rude and not accommodating
Very competent physcian
Doctor Rogers was very pleasant and easy to talk to. He knew exactly what I needed and took care of the problem. I would definitely go back to him if needed.
Nice man. Very compassionate, and spent time answering my questions. Would highly recommend his service to anyone
Dr. Rogers is a great doctor and I highly recommend him. He is very knowledgeable and approachable.
Excellent interaction. Answered all myquestions.
I was very pleased .
explained what he was going to do to help with problem staff was able to schedule testing and follow quickly before I have to return to teaching
Worth the wait!
He does an excellent job with my little ones. They haven't had an issue since he treated them. Very impressed.
went very well
I waited 45 minutes to see the doctor for 5 minutes. My problem was not addressed properly. I am very dissatisfied.
The doctor was very profesional. I had lots of expectations. But I felt he was not into what was was going on with me.
very professional & knowledgable
I was very satisfied with Dr Rogers. Though I had an appointment I did over the internet I had to wait more than 50 minutes to see the doctor. That was poor! Wilfried

Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: Melissa M. Ranieri, BS, PharmD (Temple University School of Pharmacy)
Description: The 22nd edition of one of the most respected and comprehensive references in the field of pharmacy for the past 100 years manages to balance the traditional aspects of pharmacy with the expanding needs of current clinical pharmacists.
Purpose: Remington covers all aspects of the science and practice of pharmacy, making it useful throughout one's pharmacy education and beyond. Pharmaceutical researchers as well as clinical specialists will find relevant chapters. This edition has undergone significant changes to maintain relevancy, adding new chapters organizing drug monographs for better accessibility.
Audience: Since the range of topics is so broad, this is a key reference for pharmacy students, researchers, pharmacists, and clinicians. Newer chapters are targeted to infectious disease, critical care, academic, and pediatric pharmacists. The information it includes will serve a variety of pharmacy professionals, including scientific researchers and pharmacy practice clinicians. There are hundreds of contributors, with backgrounds ranging from pharmaceutical preparation to therapeutic management.
Features: Volume I begins with several chapters on the fundamentals of pharmacy, including career paths, licensure, and the historical evolution of the field. Chapters on topics such as the drug approval process and pharmaceutical calculations are useful for students just learning as well as pharmacists looking to review these areas. Drug monographs are now organized at the end of volume I alphabetically instead of being split into several chapters as in previous editions, which allows for faster and easier searching. Information from Martindale: The Complete Drug Reference, 37th edition, Sweetman (Pharmaceutical Press, 2011), is also included in each monograph, providing international brand names; this is useful for drugs used throughout the world. New chapters in volume II cover consultant pharmacy, veterinary pharmacy, pediatric pharmacy, infectious diseases, and critical care pharmacy. This allows students and professionals who may be interested to learn more about opportunities to specialize. One of the caveats about using this reference is that because it covers many topics, it may be necessary to research additional literature for more detailed information. Perhaps it serves best as a basic reference for pharmacy professionals — a nice addition to one's library.
Assessment: This edition of Remington blends the more traditional aspects of pharmacy with current and clinical topics relevant to modern practice. A variety of information can be referenced in this book, including inorganic and organic pharmaceutical chemistry, drug monograph data, and information pertinent to today's clinical pharmacists. This edition succeeds at providing information for a variety of readers, including students, researchers, and clinicians alike.

Yet even as they break her heart, Toni's cool psychological observations remain both unsparing and profoundly generous. This is Yamanaka at her best, examining human failure through a microscope of love, of desire. Unfortunately, the characters Toni loves least never appear with such clarity. Her spoiled sister Bunny, her narcissistic gay brother Sheldon, even their kind Mommy never emerge from behind the narrator's emotional prejudices.
A similar problem in her last novel, Blu's Hanging, led to accusations that her portrayal of Filipino characters was racist; sadly, the slapstick debate that ensued generally demeaned the issues it raised. Underlying it all was a creeping distrust for Yamanaka's chosen form, the postJoy Luck Club multicultural novel. Still, within the genre's tired conventions (dialect, "exotic" settings, generational conflict), her painful humor has always been subversive, as when Sheldon, dragged by the macho Harry O. on a hunting trip, petulantly bursts into a chorus of "A hundred mirrion meee-ra-culls" (from the godawful 1961 Hollywood assimilationist extravaganza Flower Drum Song). What's more, her three novels are now being billed as a trilogy on coming of age in Hawaii, which I hope indicates that she'll soon be turning her talents to less predictable material.
Like most Asian American readers, I've grown tired of waiting for the hundred mirrion meee-ra-culls hawked by publishers in the aftermath of the Amy Tan craze. For now, I'm happy to find a little bit of wisdom and humor, a little bit of courage and grace. Lois-Ann's got it. We want more.

Warren Buffett, chairman of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., speaks during an interview at the Economic Club of Washington dinner event in Washington, D.C., U.S., on Tuesday, June 5, 2012. Andrew Harrer / Bloomberg
The UpTake: Don't mess with Buffet. By being quick on the draw, the famed investor taught Yahoo and a marketing company a thing or two about the value of being first on the market with a new idea.
Warren Buffett is so good it's sometimes hard to tell the difference between cold, calculated strategy and plain, dumb luck. Even if the end result might not make him the best of friends.
Last summer Buffett, the chairman of investment firm Berkshire Hathaway, and a bridge friend of his, the president of SCA Promotions, Bob Hamman, were batting around different ways of making money by insuring against prizes offered for rare human accomplishments like "irrefutably" proving the existence of Bigfoot or correctly picking the entire NCAA basketball brackets, according to a Wall Street Journal report published yesterday.
Last fall, the duo took the idea of offering a $1 billion prize to the person or people who correctly guessed the entire NCAA bracket to Yahoo, offering to pay out the money if the Marissa Mayer-led company put up a base amount based on the odds of a winner actually claiming the prize.
The deal fell through, but eventually Yahoo negotiated an $11 million deal with SCA that didn't include Buffet, while Buffet negotiated a similar deal with Quicken Loans for an undisclosed amount.
Both Yahoo and Quicken Loans stood to gain immense publicity from the deal which will almost undoubtedly receive wide media attention throughout the entire 16-day tournament starting March 3.
But with Buffet's deal made public to a swarm of headlines last month, effectively stealing Yahoo's thunder, the company withdrew its offer and now SCA (keep in mind, this is the same company Buffett's bridge friend runs) is seeking $4.1 million it says it is owed, according to the report.
Yahoo, like a spurned lover, declined to comment.
It's unclear exactly how much Quicken paid Berkshire Hathaway to insure the $1 billion offer, but we can probably assume it's more than the $11 million Yahoo offered SCA.
So when the tournament kicks off in three weeks remember, this Jedi maneuver did more than just put Berkshire and Quicken in the headlines, it took Yahoo and SCA out of the headlines.

LAREDO, Texas - A four-run ninth inning helped Southeastern avoid a three-game sweep at the hands of Texas A&M-International as the Savage Storm picked up the 7-3 win in the series finale in Laredo, Texas on Sunday afternoon.
SE moves to 1-2 overall on the year and will now open its home schedule with a 2 p.m. single game against Northwood on Feb. 4 at The Ballpark in Durant.
Ryan Salter, Chevis Springer and Collin Sefcik each posted a pair of hits, while Evan Ramsey and Trevor Bowen each added one.
Ramsey made the most of his one hit with a pair of RBI, while Salter, Cody Coats, Jacob Soisson and Sefcik each also drove in a run,
Jonathan Furlong got the start for Southeastern on the hill and tossed 7.0 innings, allowing three runs, two of which were earned, on eight hits with four strikeouts.
Mason Crenshaw threw the final two innings, striking out four without allowing a hit to collect the win.
The Storm wasted little time getting on the board as Springer connected on a one-out single and moved to second safely on an error on a Ramsey fielder's choice.
Coats drew a walk to load the bases which was followed by a Soisson sac fly that plated Springer.
Ramsey came home one batter later when Sefcik singled to leave runnners on the corners which led to Coats stealing home on the hangup play to end the inning and put the Storm up 3-0.
TAMIU got two runs back in the bottom of the first and would later tie the game in the bottom of the third.
Neither team mustered much offense until the ninth inning when Bowen reached on a one-out infield single and was lifted for Brayon Colley to pinch run.
Cade Clay followed with a walk and Salter followed that up with an RBI single to left that score Colley.
Following a Springer single Ramsey came to the plate to face a new pitcher and connected on a two-run single that pushed the advantage to 6-3.
Coats would wrap the scoring when Springer scored on a fielder's choice in which everyone was safe.
Crenshaw would follow up the offensive performance by striking out three of the four batters he faced in the ninth and preventing a rally.

Her GOP presidential running mate, Sen. John McCain, had taken a similar stance, arguing for a comprehensive immigration plan, a multi-faceted approach that includes border patrol, a crackdown on illegal hiring, legalizing immigrants already in the United States and creating a more flexible immigration system. The Arizona law and its more stringent provisions were not part of the national debate at the time.
But Palin came out last Saturday in clear support of Arizona's new law, which would be the most robust in the nation in terms of targeting people suspected of being illegal immigrants. The law is set to take effect July 29, barring any successful legal challenges.
Sharry said Palin's comments risk alienating Latino voters, the fastest-growing group of voters, from the Republican Party. Latino voter registration grew 54 percent and turnout grew 64 percent from 2000 to 2008, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
Republican President George W. Bush and Republican political strategist Karl Rove had made inroads with Latinos in 2000 and 2004 in key states such as Florida, Sharry said, where Latino voters backed Bush over Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts by a 12 point margin in 2004.
But, Sharry said, "The Republican party has now become branded among Latino immigrants as the 'party that hates us.'"
According to a report by America's Voices, Latinos will make a difference in 42 races in 12 states in the upcoming 2010 mid-term gubernatorial, Senate and House races: Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas and Virginia.
"Someone like Sarah Palin or John McCain or Mitt Romney should stand up and say, 'Stop the madness, stop the political suicide,'" Sharry said.
Alfonso Aguilar, executive director for the Latino Partnership for Conservative Principles, said liberals were trying to use the Arizona law to unfairly attack Republicans, when it's really Democrats who have failed to act on immigration laws.
"They know Latinos are mad at them [Democrats], so they're trying to use Arizona to drive a wedge, to say, 'You know what, Republicans don't like Latinos," Aguilar said. "Sadly, they know that the reason why we have the law in Arizona is because Barack Obama has not dealt with immigration as he said he would during the campaign. He has absolutely failed the Latino community."
Aguilar said that although he doesn't support the law, reaction to it has been exaggerated.
"I'm not a fan of Arizona law, but to say that the bill will lead to systematic and mass discrimination is an outright lie," he said.
He added that attempts to pit Latinos against Republicans would backfire within the Latino community.
"Latinos don't like to be treated in a condescending way," he said. "They're not going to respond to those tactics, and I think it's going to backfire."
