|Atrial fibrillation is associated with lower cognitive performance in the Framingham offspring men.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 17904078 Owner: NLM Status: PubMed-not-MEDLINE
|The purpose of this study was to investigate the association of atrial fibrillation (AFIB) with multiple measures of cognitive performance in a large community-based sample extensively characterized for vascular risk factors. Our primary analysis included 1011 Framingham Offspring Study (Framingham, Mass) men, mean age = 61.0 (37-89) years, free of clinical stroke and dementia. Using multivariable linear regression models, we related the presence (n = 59) versus absence (n = 952) of AFIB in men to a global measure of performance and multiple measures of specific cognitive abilities assessed an average of 8 months after the AFIB surveillance period. Adjusting for age, education, multiple cardiovascular risk factors, and cardiovascular disease, men with AFIB exhibited significantly lower mean levels of cognitive performance compared with men in normal sinus rhythm. Men with AFIB exhibited lower performance on global cognitive ability and cognitive abilities including Similarities (abstract reasoning), Visual Reproductions-Immediate Recall, Visual Reproductions-Delayed Recall, Visual Organization, Logical Memory-Delayed Recall, and Trail Making A (scanning and tracking) and Trail Making B (scanning, tracking, and executive functioning). Further studies leading to a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying the relation between AFIB and cognitive performance are important.

I would like to ask if anyone is having problems with 5D prof and making your own fonts?
I can easily make a font in the 5d "quick font" and save it in "myfonts"
Then when I click on the right hand part of the software under letters and select "myfonts" and click on the little camera. Nothing comes up.
If I look in the folder of "myfonts" in my hard disk I can find it there so why doesn't the program show it up and let me use it?
Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug of the software?
I have win 7 64bit.
Thanks if someone can help.

Another loss for Leo! Leonardo DiCaprio lost out to Matthew McConaughey for Best Actor at the 86th Academy Awards Sunday night, continuing his streak of never winning an Oscar despite four nominations total.
PHOTOS: Oscars 2014 -- what the stars wore
The "Wolf of Wall Street" actor, 39, took the loss like a champ and was caught on camera giving McConaughey a big hug before the "Dallas Buyers Club" star took the stage. However, his subtle "losing face" immediately caused a frenzy via social media, and "Poor Leo" began to trend.
Some of the (hilarious) memes created included a photoshopped image of the emotional characters DiCaprio has previously portrayed, and a snapshot of him at the Dolby Theatre with the headline "Always the Bridesmaid, Never the Bride." A third photo showed the gold Oscar statue exclaiming, "Catch me if you can!" based on his 2002 flick.
PHOTOS: Top 10 best-dressed stars at the Oscars
The Hollywood heartthrob received his first Oscar nod at the age of 19 for his portrayal as a mentally-challenged boy in 1993's What's Eating Gilbert Grape. He also was recognized for his work in the Best Actor category for The Aviator in 2005 and Blood Diamond in 2007. His impressive film resume also includes Titanic, Inception, The Departed, and Gangs of New York.
PHOTOS: Stars who've never won an Oscar
McConaughey, 44, meanwhile, was the clear frontrunner leading into the biggest awards show of the season. He previously took home awards at the Screen Actors Guild, Independent Spirit, and Golden Globes Awards for the Jean-Marc Valle-directed drama. (DiCaprio did win Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy for his work at the Golden Globes.) At the Oscars, McConaughey also beat out "American Hustle" star Christian Bale, "12 Years a Slave" star Chiwetel Ejiofor, and "Nebraska" star Bruce Dern.

The Realism of Thomas Eakins
Lewis, Michael J., New Criterion
I would have them taught facts and things, rather than words and signs.
-- Stephen Girard, 1831.
My honors are misunderstanding, persecution & neglect, enhanced because unsought.
--Thomas Eakins, 1894
At first blush, the realism of Thomas Eakins seems an unpromising method for probing psychology. His method was an empiricism of almost clinical ruthlessness, grounded in anatomical study, dissection, and the photographic investigation of posture and movement. He did not banter charmingly with his sitters in order to coax lively expressions from them, as Sargent did, preferring to work in silence and look for those truths that cannot be pried out by conversation. It is difficult to imagine an artistic method more likely to drain a painting of all content beyond the purely physical and mechanical. And yet Eakins, surely America's most prosaic painter of facts and appearances, is also our most deeply psychological.
Eakins's work falls into two categories. On the one hand, there are his portraits, which feature the pensive and introspective poses that showed his solid, nearly sculptural modeling to best advantage. On the other hand, there are the genre paintings, which are more than mere scenes of everyday life: they depict particularly intense physical effort or mental concentration (or both). In a sense, these too are portraits, invariably built around strong character studies, and it might be more fitting to divide Eakins's work into portraits of thought and portraits of action. At any rate, the human form--solid, corporeal, elastic--is at the center of Eakins's art.
Eakins is a rather difficult artist to classify, and it does not settle the matter to call him a realist. (To quote Horatio: "There needs no ghost come from the grave to tell us this.") The problem is rather to specify Eakins's peculiar species of realism. It is not, for example, that of Manet or Daumier --that of horrific events, or social classes and institutions. Nor is it the realism of the Ashcan School, that of gritty urban life. Nor, certainly, is it the realism of contemporary American literature--of Theodore Dreiser, for instance--of the tawdry daily struggle. Although sometimes called scientific realism, due to Eakins's extensive use of the camera and the scalpel, it might more justifiably be labeled academic realism, because of its conviction that the rendering of the human body--that most academic of subjects--is the richest and most noble instrument of artistic expression.
Thomas Eakins was born in Philadelphia in 1844 to a "writing master," a calligrapher who lettered certificates and diplomas, and who taught penmanship. Except for his years of study, his entire career would unfold in the prim Quaker city. He attended the exclusive Central High School, where he took a rigorous program of mechanical drawing and showed an early gift for the convincing rendering of geometric solids in space. Upon graduation he enrolled at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, America's oldest art academy, where he studied from 1862 to 1866, having paid a bounty to avoid the Civil War draft.
The curriculum of the Academy was conventional: first drawing from antique casts and then promotion to the life drawing class, supplemented by lectures on anatomy. There was no formal faculty, and criticism was given by two history painters of the older Dusseldorf tradition--a tradition featuring punctilious draftsmanship and theatrical composition. Eakins evidently wanted more, for he took the unusual step of enrolling in an anatomy course for medical students at the nearby Jefferson Medical College, where he became fascinated by dissection. Having exhausted the opportunities for studying art in Philadelphia, he sailed for France in 1866 to study at the Ecole des Beaux Art.
In Paris he joined the atelier of the dashing Jean-Leon Gerome, France's popular painter of Orientalist themes. Here he remained for three years, becoming one of the star pupils. …

To find out more about these candidates, go to wilsonfornewyork.com and www.dinapoli2010.com. The Journal held separate editorial board meetings with these candidates. Those meetings, as well as their video responses to several questions and other election-related information, can be found at www.poughkepsiejournal.com/2010
Considering how he came to obtain the position, Thomas DiNapoli has done a commendable job as state comptroller and, generally, one would think that should be enough to win election.
But, in this case, it shouldn't be. His challenger, Republican Harry Wilson, promises to be transformational — and voters should cast their ballot for him, trusting him to do far more to help the state get control of spending and improve the pension fund.
The comptroller's office is profoundly important, though it doesn't always get a lot of attention. The comptroller is the sole trustee of the $125 billion Common Retirement Fund for about 1 million government employees and retirees and beneficiaries. The comptroller also provides key oversight of state finances, including public authorities, as well as performing audits on local government and school district operations.
In 2007, the state Assembly appointed one of their own — DiNapoli — to take over the position after Alan Hevesi resigned in disgrace in late 2006.
While DiNapoli has been a laudable caretaker, Wilson would bring a more dynamic approach to the position.
Wilson, a former hedge-fund manager who lives in Scarsdale, Westchester County, also has shown he will work across party lines for greater good. For instance, he helped restructure and save General Motors last year, serving as the only Republican on President Obama's Auto Task Force. That restructuring, which included $10 billion in cuts, is working, and tens of thousands of jobs have been saved in the process.
Wilson graduated from Harvard University and Harvard Business School before starting a highly successful and lucrative career on Wall Street. He wants to use the comptroller office's audit power to scrutinize how New York spends its money and put forth specific recommendations on how it can become far more efficient.
Wilson says New York tends to kick too many financial decisions down the road, hoping the economy will improve, while ignoring the need or refusing to make structural changes in government.
Precisely. This is someone who clearly gets it.
Regarding the pension fund, Wilson points out that government contributions continue to rise, and he questions some of DiNapoli's investment strategies, including decisions that necessitate the state pension fund shelling out about $350 million a year in investment fees.
DiNapoli counters that the pension fund has rebounded since the worst of the economic downturn and New York is one of only four states nationwide that has ample funds to fully meet its current pension commitments.
Wilson says while lawmakers did adopt a new, less generous pension tier this year, it needs to go further and create another tier that lessens the burden on taxpayers, perhaps even moving to a 401(k) or a defined-contribution model for new employees.
Over the years, efforts have been made to remove the state comptroller as the pension fund's sole trustee and replace that model with a board.
Neither candidate favors that approach. Both of them rightly are concerned that if the governor and Legislature had the chance to appoint people to this board, the fund could be raided in times of fiscal crisis. DiNapoli says a board composed of stakeholders might make more sense if the state opts for change, while Wilson advocates creating an advisory independent investment committee to work with the comptroller.
DiNapoli has been ahead in the polls, and his good work does need to be acknowledged, from his continued audits of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority to his decision to squelch a state contract that would have paid a developer nearly 30 percent above market price for land near the Belleayre Mountain Ski Center.
He also has banned the type of "pay-to-play" political contributions involved in the Hevesi scandal and instituted other ethical reforms.
But Wilson offers state voters the rare and precious chance to elect someone with the exact set of skills the state needs to make a legitimate overhaul of government.
For that reason alone, voters should support him.

Why I would attempt such a thing, IDK. Too much time on my hands, I guess.

It examines the place of Assyrians in relation to a state that was increasing in strength and influence, and locates their interactions within socio-political movements that were generally associated with the Iraqi opposition. It analyzes the ways in which Assyrians contextualized themselves in their society and negotiated for social, cultural, and political rights both from the state and from the movements with which they were affiliated. Assyrians began migrating to urban Iraqi centers in the second half of the twentieth century, and in the process became more integrated into their societies. But their native towns and villages in northern Iraq continued to occupy an important place in their communal identity, while interactions between rural and urban Assyrians were ongoing. Although substantially integrated in Iraqi society, Assyrians continued to retain aspects of the transnational character of their community. Transnational interactions between Iraqi Assyrians and Assyrians in neighboring countries and the diaspora are therefore another important phenomenon examined in this dissertation. Finally, the role of Assyrian women in these movements, and their portrayal by intellectuals, will be evaluated using a gendered perspective. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z The Democratic Self: Gender, Memory, and Human Rights under the Augusto Pinochet Dictatorship and Transition to Democracy in Chile, 1973-2010 Townsend, Brandi Ann http://hdl.handle.net/1903/16923 2015-09-19T02:33:13Z 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z The Democratic Self: Gender, Memory, and Human Rights under the Augusto Pinochet Dictatorship and Transition to Democracy in Chile, 1973-2010 Townsend, Brandi Ann The Democratic Self asks how ideas about gender shaped the ways that Chileans reconstructed the affective, social, and political bonds the Augusto Pinochet dictatorship (1973-1990) sought to destroy. It intervenes in debates about the degree to which right-wing military regimes in Latin America eroded social ties during the Cold War. Torture targeted gendered and sexual identities and compelled victims to re-assess their roles as men, women, militants, husbands, wives, sons, daughters, mothers, and fathers. This dissertation argues that to reconnect the individual to collective struggles for democracy, survivors and their allies drew on longstanding, heteronormative gender ideologies within the left. Those ideologies gradually changed over the course of the dictatorship, and in turn, influenced memories during the subsequent transition to democracy (1990-2010). The dissertation draws on government and non-governmental documents and oral interviews with survivors, their families, and human rights workers. Between 1978 and 1990, mental health professionals working within human rights organizations provided psychological therapy to approximately 32,000-42,000 Chileans to help them work through their traumatic experiences as part of a collective project to repair the social connections that state violence ripped apart. These professionals translated psychoanalytic concepts of "the self" into the language of pre-1973 frameworks of citizenship grounded in the heterosexual, male-headed nuclear family. By the mid-1980s, Chile's feminist movement changed the terms of the debate by showing how gendered forms of everyday violence that pre-dated the dictatorship shaped political violence under the dictatorship, as well as the opposition's response. Slowly, mental health professionals began to change how they deployed ideas about gender when helping survivors and their families talk about state violence. However, the narratives of violence that emerged with the end of the dictatorship in 1990 and that were enshrined in three separate truth commissions (1990, 2004, and 2010) only partially reflected that transformation. The democratic governments' attempts to heal Chile's painful past and move forward did not always recognize, much less dislodge, entrenched ideas that privileged men's experiences of political militancy. This dissertation shows how Chileans grappled with their memories of state violence, which were refracted through gendered discourses in the human rights movement. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z Capital Development: Mandate Era Amman and the Construction of the Hashemite State, 1921-1946 Guthorn, Harrison Brent http://hdl.handle.net/1903/16922 2015-09-19T02:33:09Z 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z Capital Development: Mandate Era Amman and the Construction of the Hashemite State, 1921-1946 Guthorn, Harrison Brent This dissertation explores the modern history of Amman during the British Mandate and how the city's development was closely tied to the evolution of the Hashemite state. This study explores the significant cultural and political hybridization of the local population in Amman because of the state's centralization project. Few historians of the Middle East have examined in depth the formation of capital cities in nascent nation-states and even fewer have studied the city of Amman. The development of Amman must be understood in its regional context because it acts as a mirror for the development of the Jordanian state as a whole. This dissertation posits that Amman developed as a hybridized amalgam of Ottoman, Arab, and British characteristics. The Transjordanian state could not have existed if it had not borrowed countless Ottoman institutions and practices. The Anglo-Hashemite state used the Legislative Council of Transjordan to incorporate formerly autonomous elites into the machinery of the Jordanian state, transforming Amman into a Hashemite Versailles. By the end of the Mandate, Amman's gilded cage both constrained and supported the elites within. The cage of Amman simultaneously limited elite influence and power, while protecting and reifying their muted authority as Transjordanian officials. Furthermore, Amman's urban fabric was a reflection of its diverse heritage and cultural practices. The development of Amman as a "dual city," divided between prosperous Westernized "West Amman" and the impoverished traditional "East Amman," originated in the Mandate period. Finally, Amman's central square, Feisal Square, became the figurative embodiment of the heart of Amman and the heart of the state. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z Pixel: A Tool for Creative Design with Physical Materials and Computation Gubbels, Michael http://hdl.handle.net/1903/16903 2015-09-19T02:32:02Z 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z Pixel: A Tool for Creative Design with Physical Materials and Computation Gubbels, Michael Creating information systems that sense and respond to the physical environment is a complex activity, requiring technical skills from disparate areas of practice, such as computer programming and electronic circuitry. Although recent tools have lowered barriers to creating such systems, they tend to be too technical and constraining for creating systems to be a feasible everyday activity. These tools often rely on traditional interaction techniques and draw makers' attention away from the system being built, thereby limiting makers' physical movement, removing systems from their use context, and preventing contextualized experimentation with system designs. This thesis explores techniques for designing tools with support for making systems a more feasible everyday activity. I present the novel design and evaluation of such a tool called Pixel designed to let makers use intuitive knowledge derived from experience with the physical world, rather than technical expertise, in creating custom information systems in the course of everyday life. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z

MLB Network's Top 100 Players Right Now Entering 2015
As I did last year, and the year before, and the year before that, I'll be keeping a running list of the Top 100 Players Right Now as they are revealed on MLB Network, eventually compiling the entire list.
They will have revealed all 100 by the end of Friday, February 27th. I'll update this same space as they reveal the remaining entries.
As always, I will understandably highlight the Brewers players on the list. The Brewers had six players on the list entering 2012. Rickie Weeks was 83, John Axford was 77, Yovani Gallardo was 72, Aramis Ramirez was 66, Zack Greinke was 64, and Ryan Braun was too low at number 9. Entering 2013, the Brewers only had three players featured on the list (at the time it was revealed). Yovani Gallardo repeated his position at 72, Aramis Ramirez jumped all the way up to 32, and Braun settled in at 6. Kyle Lohse made last year's list as well. As for 2014, just three players once again. Jean Segura checked in at 60, Carlos Gomez debuted at 44, and Ryan Braun dipped to 24.
The criteria for the list remains the same:
- Emphasized stats from the last three (3) seasons, weighting 2014
- Projected 2015 performance
- Defensive position
- Accolades
- Intangibles

Ryan Braun has been revealed as the 63rd best player in Major League Baseball "Right Now" entering 2015. As the criteria for the rankings weights 2014 the most and pretty much only relies on the last three years of stats at all, this is an understandable position for Braun right now. I have a feeling though that at this time next year Braun will have rebounded a bit.
Carlos Gomez moves up six spots from 44 last year to check in at 38. I'd rather have Gomez than Justin Upton at 37.
And due to a Twitter tease, we know (or at least Brewers fans do) that Jonathan Lucroy will be number 23 when they get there.
I'll update more once I see who is around the Brewers, but that's the only three I expect to make the list.

This Week in Brewers Transactions (9/30-10/4)
It's been just four business days since the Milwaukee Brewers played their final game of the 2013 Major League Baseball regular season. A number of transactions — both at the 40-man roster level and elsewhere in the organization — have happened so far this week, so here's a full "recappening" to make sure you're up to speed.
I include my tweets about the bullet items to illustrate that the best way to get this information quickly is to just follow me on Twitter (@BrewerNation).
During the week of September 12-18:
- RHP Arcenio Leon was signed to a 2014 MiLB contract (but it would be announced officially by the team finally on 10/1).
Per @MattEddyBA, the #Brewers have signed Arcenio Leon to a 2014 contract. http://t.co/JDDcRiWipk (h/t @Mass_Haas)
— The Brewer Nation (@BrewerNation) September 21, 2013
Tuesday, October 1
- RHP Austin Blaski (21st round draft pick in 2012) retired from professional baseball. Blaski was a 2013 All-Star for the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers before an arm injury cost him the rest of his season. He had surgery and retired, no doubt, as a result.
- The Brewers announced the minor league resigning of several players to 2014 contracts
- The aforementioned Arcenio Leon.
- C/3B Robinzon Diaz
- SS Hector Gomez
- INF Eugenio Velez

Friday, October 4
A couple of notes about the transactions this week:
- The removal of Prince and Bucci from the 40-man roster opens two spots on it. It currently stands at 38.
- The Brewers have at minimum two players to add back in Rickie Weeks and Ryan Braun.
- Two spots should open when Michael Gonzalez and Yuniesky Betancourt declare free agency following the World Series.
- There will be some names requiring protection from the Rule V Draft that will be added as the weeks progress as well.
- Nick Bucci's removal from the 40-man roster shouldn't come as a big surprise. He was only added after last season following a breakout campaign. A shoulder injury cost him almost the entirety of 2013 (he got into one game and recorded two outs) and position him for a good amount of work. It's significant that he was outrighted to Nashville despite never having pitched above High-A. That means that though he will be exposed to the Rule V Draft in December, any team selecting him would need to add him to their MLB roster and keep him there the entire 2014 season. That's quite frankly unlikely to happen.

Series In Review: Brewers Fall Short of First Four-Game Wrigley Sweep
The Brewers hit the road following their brief three-game season-opening homestand. They headed south on Interstate 94 to Chicago to take on the Cubs in a four game series which, because it's Chicago, meant two evening games and two day afternoon games.
The Crew took the first three games in the series and looked good heading into an opportunity for their first ever four-game sweep of the Cubs at Wrigley Field. They fell painfully short of that goal, but more on that later.
The fact is that in a venue where the 96-win 2011 Brewers only won two games all year, leaving town with three notches on the bedpost is certainly an acceptable outcome.
For more on each game's individual happenings, read on!
Game 1 – Monday – Brewers (1-2): 7, Cubs (1-2): 5
Winning Pitcher: Shaun Marcum (1-0, 4.50) Losing Pitcher: Shawn Camp (0-1, 7.36)
Save: John Axford (1)
In the opening tilt of the series, the Brewers not only scored early (RBI sac fly by Aramis Ramirez, plating Nyjer Morgan), but often (scoring runs in six of their nine frames).
In a nice blend of small ball and…big ball, I guess…the Brewers got a solo home run from Rickie Weeks in the third and RBI extra-base hits from Mat Gamel (triple) in the sixth inning and Ramirez (double) in the Brewers' next frame. Milwaukee also picked up RBIs by way of both a safety and suicide squeeze, and a pair of sacrifice flies.
The only real point of concern came in the bottom of the ninth when, sporting a 7-3 lead and with closer John Axford having just thrown 27 pitches the night before, manager Ron Roenicke called on Manny Parra to finish out the game.
Parra allowed a leadoff double and was lifted for Tim Dillard once the left-handed hitters were done. Dillard walked Geovany Soto which forced Roenicke's hand.
Axford entered the game and allowed his first batter faced to single home a run on Parra's linescore. With men at second and third and only one out, Axford struck out David DeJesus but then walked Darwin Barney to load the bases.
In a beautifully-called and executed sequence, Axford then struck out Starlin Castro on three pitches to end the game.
Game 2 – Tuesday – Brewers (2-2): 7, Cubs (1-3): 4
Winning Pitcher: Chris Narveson (1-0, 3.60) Losing Pitcher: Paul Maholm (0-1, 13.50)
Save: Francisco Rodriguez (1)
A cold night in the Windy City saw a team of (mostly) hooded men residing in the first base dugout.
The hoods designed to keep a player's head and neck warm could also be pulled up to cover the face while running the bases, and the sight of so many of the Brewers wearing them caused many fans to invoke a "ninja" theme to the evening's events.
It was a mostly fitting description for the early part of the game as the Brewers struck blows to the Cubs starting pitcher repeatedly. The loudest blow of the night for Milwaukee came from the first hitter in the batting order to plays sans shroud, Alex Gonzalez. He made plenty of noise by blasting a three-run home run into the left-center field bleachers, capping the scoring at five for the frame.
The ninja thing might have been a perfect description if not for the fact that Corey Hart and Mat Gamel were both hit by pitches in the first inning. After all, ninjas are supposed to be incredibly stealthy and therefore shouldn't be able to be plunked.
Or something.
The Cubs were never really in this game, though they did cut the lead to three runs in the third inning.
There was more ninth inning drama as well. The Brewers once again put a four-run lead up against the Cubs final three outs and put a non-closer on the bump to begin the ninth.
After Kameron Loe had pitched two mostly brilliant innings of scoreless relief, Jose Veras was given the first chance to slam the door but hung a curveball to Geovany Soto which was blasted into the stands for a home run. After striking out the scuffling Marlon Byrd, Veras walked the pinch-hitting Bryan LaHair.
The situation now being a three-run lead with the tying run in the on-deck circle made it a Save opportunity. With John Axford having thrown over 50 pitches over the previous two days, manager Ron Roenicke had decided prior to the game that the Ax Man was off limits tonight. Roenicke walked to the mound and signaled for a right-hander to enter the game.
Francisco Rodriguez jogged to the mound looking to record his first Save as a member of the Milwaukee Brewers.
K-Rod needed just seven pitches to get through the final two hitters. He secured Chris Narveson's first Win of the year by striking out David DeJesus and inducing Darwin Barney to ground out to Alex Gonzalez.
The Brewers had just guaranteed themselves no worse than a series split, but had eyes for more.
Game 3 – Wednesday – Brewers (3-2): 2, Cubs (1-4): 1
Winning Pitcher: Yovani Gallardo (1-1, 5.91) Losing Pitcher: Ryan Dempster (0-1, 1.88)
Save: John Axford (2)
Yovani Gallardo's start on Opening Day was brutal. (You can click here for that recap.) A lot of people were questioning the staff ace and his abilities, which is ridiculous but they were, and were looking for a bounce-back start against the Cubs.
Gallardo delivered.
Going seven strong innings, only allowing one run (earned) while scattering five hits and two walks, he struck out six Cubs hitters on the day. He shaved nearly nine runs off of his ERA (early season small sample sizes are fun!), nearly a point and a half off of his WHIP, and thousands of doubters off his back about his admittedly rough start five days earlier.
Nearly exceeding his performance, however, was Cub starter Ryan Dempster. He too pitched on Opening Day for Chicago, but with much better personal results than Gallardo achieved. Dempster made it to the seventh scoreless, but allowed a one-out, two-run home run to George Kottaras which proved to be the difference in the game.
Gallardo was set to be pinch-hit for had Kottaras not come through, but instead he came back out in the bottom of the seventh and worked himself into and out of the only substantial Cub threat of the afternoon.
The eighth and ninth were by design after that, with both Francisco Rodriguez and John Axford striking out the side around two walks and one double, respectively.
Having hoisted the L flag atop Wrigley for the third consecutive game, the Brewers looked to do what they had never done before…
Sweep a four-game set from the Cubs at Wrigley Field.
Game 4 – Thursday – Brewers (4-2): 0, Cubs (1-5): 8
Winning Pitcher: Matt Garza (1-0, 1.23) Losing Pitcher: Zack Greinke (1-1, 6.75)
When you head into the final game of a series with a chance to sweep that series, and you have one of the best pitchers on your staff starting, you feel pretty good about your chances that day. So, too, did the Brewers with Zack Greinke toeing the rubber on Thursday afternoon.
In a confluence of recent and unfortunate trends, however, Greinke pitched during the day and on the road. While coincidental at best, neither of those situations was particularly friendly to Greinke last season. (For the record: Greinke's Win-Loss record was good during the day last year, but we all know how much that actually reflects his performance.)
Regardless of the circumstances, Greinke seemed out of sorts the entire day. He barely touched speeds with his fastball that he usually sits comfortably at. He normally sits 94-95, touches 97, but on Thursday he was sitting 91-92 and his high watermark only rounded up to 95. PitchFX information had Greinke topping out at 94.9 MPH, while averaging 92.64. (Those figures were quoted to me by mutual Twitter follow Jaymes Langrehr of the Disciples of Uecker blog. You can follow him on Twitter: @JaymesL.)
The second half of the Brewers pair of aces could only muster 3.2 innings pitched on Thursday afternoon, and he was charged with eight earned runs before it was all said and done. That was a far cry from his seven shutout innings against the St. Louis Cardinals five days prior.
The highlights of the game for the Brewers would be that two relief pitchers, who had been previously roughed up a couple of times, posted multiple, scoreless innings in relief of Greinke. Manny Parra took over in the fourth inning and pitched through the sixth, striking out four along the way while walking none. Tim Dillard then covered the seventh and eighth, also walking no one. Each relief pitcher allowed two hits while working.
Otherwise, Matt Garza simply had his way with every Brewer hitter not named Nyjer Morgan (two hits in four trips to the plate) or Jonathan Lucroy (one hit, one walk in three PAs). Garza only allowed three hits through 8.2 innings pitched, while striking out nine and walking only two.
His only hiccup, if you can even call it one, was when Garza induced a ground ball back to himself off of the bat of pinch-hitter Norichika Aoki but then threw the ball way over and past first baseman Bryan LaHair, allowing Aoki to reach.
With Garza then at 119 pitches, Cubs manager Dale Sveum marched to the mound and lifted his starter in favor of Monday's starter Shawn Camp. Camp got George Kottaras to ground out on four pitches to finalize things.
In Summary…
Like I said at the top, taking three out of four games at Wrigley Field is never a bad thing, regardless of whether you lost the final game with arguably your best pitcher on the bump.
Games against the very much so rebuilding Cubs are just as important, if not more so, as games against other opponents in the division. You must beat the teams which you are supposed to beat if you hope to approach last season's franchise-best win total.
I really liked seeing solid starts from Shaun Marcum and Chris Narveson in their first turns, and was greatly encouraged by the fact that heavy use early didn't affect John Axford and Francisco Rodriguez as they were both very good as usual.
The bats need to wake up a bit still. Look no further than notoriously slow starter Aramis Ramirez (2-for-22 to begin the campaign) as evidence of that, but there is plenty of time to turn things around.
After beginning 2011 with a 0-4 record and not winning for the third time on the road until their ninth try, being 4-2 after six with three victories away from Miller Park isn't a bad place to be.
The Brewers are in Atlanta tonight for the first of a three-game series. Tonight is the Braves' home opener. That game will be contested by Randy Wolf and Jair Jurrjens with the first pitch being scheduled for 6:35 Central Daylight Time.

The Blue Jays pitching staff should be better this week, gaining a closer and potential ace, as Frank Francisco and Brandon Morrow are scheduled to return from the disabled list.
Both pitchers threw at Class A Dunedin on Sunday and are scheduled to re-join the team later this week. Francisco is scheduled to join the team Tuesday when the Yankees come to town. Toronto plays tomorrow morning in Boston for Patriot's Day.
Morrow, 26, was 10-7 with a 4.49 ERA last season, his first in Toronto and first as a full-time starter. Those numbers were from a pitcher just getting used to starting -- from June through August, he had a 3.14 ERA and 1.20 WHIP. He struck out 10.9 batters per nine innings last season and in five starts in August last season, he averaged 14.5 strikeouts per nine, including 17 in his no-hit bid that went into the ninth inning against the Rays on Aug. 8. He also struck out 12 Yankees in six innings later that month.
Currently on the disabled list with inflammation in his right elbow, Morrow went four innings , allowing three hits and two runs, walking three and striking out five. He should be ready to pitch later this week for the Blue Jays, taking the spot of either Jo-Jo Reyes (0-2, 6.75 ERA) or Jesse Litsch (1-1, 3.63 ERA).
Francisco allowed a hit and struck out two in a scoreless inning of relief. It was his fifth minor-league appearance.
While Francisco was tabbed as the team's closer during spring training, Jon Rauch has converted all three save opportunities in his steed.
"We're not going to not acknowledge what Jon has done," Blue Jays manager Jon Farrell told MLB.com's Gregor Chisholm . "That was as crisp of an inning the other night when he came into the ninth that you'd ever want to see. Frankie coming back will give us options."

$70-million retrofit?
By: Gus Thomson Journal Staff Writer
Local span similar to Minnesota structure that collapsed two years ago
The towering Foresthill Bridge is due for a $70-million facelift this spring that will not only toughen its support structure but renew some of the span's sparkle. And while Placer County owns the 36-year-old bridge, Public Works Director Ken Grehm said Monday that federal and state bridge safety and road funds should take care of most of the costs. The bridge, painted a distinctive pea-green hue, was placed on a state list for a mandatory seismic retrofit by Caltrans 10 years ago. The county is now poised to move ahead with one of the most expensive public works projects the Auburn-area has experienced. The bridge itself cost $13 million to build. Plans are to retain the appearance of the bridge with a similar color of paint while modifying bearings that support the structure to withstand a major earthquake. The bolted deck truss bridge is similar to the I-35W span in Minneapolis, Minn. that collapsed two years ago, killing 13 people. Grehm said the Foresthill bridge is structurally sound but required to have the support system to withstand a serious earthquake and remain standing. That would mean a reading of 6.0 on the Richter scale. The cost of the project is high because of the need to protect the North Fork of the American River canyon below from falling paint when it's sand-blasted, he said. The bridge's first and only paint job in the early 1970s involved lead-based products. "The painting is so expensive mainly because we don't want to allow anything getting into the American River canyon," Grehm said. "We've painstakingly put in a lot of requirements to ensure the environment is protected." Full encapsulation of all or part of the bridge being sandblasted is likely to occur, with a tent-like structure keeping any debris from floating away. But Grehm said the painting contractor would be responsible for the type of cloaking apparatus to be used. The project will also see the middle of the bridge filled in with a new concrete and steel surface that could eventually turn into a third lane or passing lane. The bridge currently has two, 20-foot wide lanes, with an 18-foot drop-off between them. The extra room in the middle will allow traffic to continue to flow over the bridge between Auburn and the Foresthill Divide when the 18-month construction project is taking place, Grehm said. The cost of a new coat of green paint is coming in at an estimated $27 million. The seismic stabilization work is anticipated to cost $43 million. Railing along the side of the bridge will be replaced with a higher barrier. Minimum standards are now 54 inches or taller. The county Board of Supervisors will be asked today to approve an environmental report on the project. Grehm said the project is 88.5-percent funded through a federal bridge program, with state road funds providing an 11.47 percent match for the seismic retrofit. County road funds from a state bond issue would provide the 11.47 percent local match for work not directly related to the seismic retrofit.

Which is better—a car or an SUV? That question is still being asked every time an automotive consumer sets his sights on purchasing a vehicle. And up to this day, the answer to that question still varies. Although in recent years, fewer and fewer consumers have asked that question. It's not because the inquiry has been finally resolved, but rather because of the rise of another type of vehicle—the crossover. Crossovers possess the drivability and comfort of a regular car and the size, space, and rugged good looks of an SUV. Basically, they have the best of both worlds. The Ford Edge is one such vehicle.
2006-2010: The Early Years
The world got its first glimpse of the Ford Edge in Detroit's 2006 North American International Auto Show. And right from the onset, the Edge already created a major buzz because of its sleek and sporty exterior. It didn't take too long before the production of the vehicle began in the same year.
The Ford Edge was based on the Ford CD3 platform, the same one used by several Mazda cars and Lincoln crossovers. It was offered in three trim levels: SE, SEL, and SEL Plus. The SE, which was the most basic trim level, included standard automotive features such as air-conditioning, cloth seats, and an AM/FM stereo that featured a CD and an MP3 player. The SEL took the Edge up a notch as it boasted of a power driver's seat, premium cloth seats, a deluxe sound system, and bigger aluminum wheels. Of course, the SEL Plus tops the previously mentioned trims as it added dual automatic climate control, leather upholstery, and a power passenger seat. All trim levels were powered with a 2.0-L Ecoboost inline-four engine that was paired to six-speed automatic transmission. They were also all available in both front-wheel and all-wheel drive configurations.
2011: The Revamp
While the Ford Edge did remarkably well during its early years, the growing number of crossovers in the market has made the Edge less of a standout in the succeeding years. For that reason, Ford decided that an overhaul is necessary in order to maintain—and improve—the Edge's standing in the crossover market.
The face-lifted Edge was officially launched in 2011. Its latest incarnation featured a new front fascia, bumper, and wheels. The interior received the same treatment as better materials were used for its components. Aside from aesthetic modifications, the Edge also had a new set of engines, upgraded brakes, and an improved suspension system. With those, the Edge reclaimed, well, its edge in the crossover market.

"From early on, the essence of the game has been shot-making," Justice Stevens wrote for the majority. Allowing a disabled golfer to ride between shots, he wrote, is just the sort of "reasonable modification" called for by the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act. It does not fundamentally change the game, as, for instance, widening the hole from 3 to 6 inches surely would.
What's wrong with that? Well, for one thing, we have the spectacle of seven judges explaining why famous golf pros like Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer are simply wrong about the game of golf. Nicklaus, Palmer and a parade of other stars testified that walking and the fatigue it brings are intrinsic to the game of golf at the tournament level.
Not so, said Justice Stevens, who also took the opportunity to explain to Nicklaus and Palmer that they were wrong, too, in feeling fatigued, since a lower court had found a professor somewhere who said that walking a course (about five miles) uses only 500 calories "nutritionally ... less than a Big Mac." Presumably Nicklaus and Palmer now understand how foolish they were to feel tired, and how unimportant the concept of stamina is, now that Justice Stevens has pointed it out.
This Supreme Court is always accused of being too conservative. Heaven knows why. It's an unusually intrusive court. Here the justices insert themselves into someone else's game and explain what is arbitrary and what is not. But it is not the role of judges to decide whether baseball's balk rule or football's man-in-motion rule is essential or arbitrary. ALL rules in all games and sports are arbitrary, as Justice Scalia pointed out in dissent. That is the nature of games. If everything is arbitrary, on what basis can any court decide what is essential and what isn't? And in any case, as Nicklaus and Palmer said again and again, professional golfers deserve the right to set their own rules.

Hamza and Eiliyah used to be childhood enemies and best friends. After years, they're finally separated from each other. English class they see each other again after a year. It's like the entire world spirals out of control as weird coincidences and feelings have them re-thinking everything. They have to read a book in English class, and that's where it begins. The book--Eiliiyah's copy--holds the answers to all the questions spinning around in her head. Questions about her childhood enemy, her former best friend, her brother's deafness, her mother's silence, her sister's anger. It's all in this book. One book. One copy. Battered, with love.

First off, NO MORE RE-BOOTS! And I say that fully expecting we'll be seeing a re-boot of the current re-boot in a few years.
* shrug *
It's arguable that the Abrams movies are more like the third or fourth reboot - it's just that the other reboots were a lot softer.
However, to your point - I think at this time it's pretty clear that the "iconic" version of Star Trek in the minds of general audienced is Kirk/Spock, which leads me to believe most further film and perhaps television are more likely to feature their adventures - so I'm betting you're "re-boot of the re-boot" will happen after the current Bad Robot series ends.

This beautiful 19th century country home, recently restored, is part of the " Fattoria Il Leccio" lived and owned by the Passigli family for four generations. It sits on top of a hill overlooking the Valle del Mugnone, a gorgeous valley that offers panoramic views of gently slopping hills cultivated with well-tended olive groves as well as views of the town of Fiesole and the city of Florence. Giovanni Boccaccio in his 13th Century Decameron, locates some of his stories in this valley.
Personal transportation is advisable. Public transportation, (bus and train) are available at the bottom of the hill in the village of Caldine.

Consumer question:
I had the Aprrilaire Model 800 Steam Humidifier unit installed a little over a year ago. I am very happy with the unit except for the water valve. When it closes it makes a water hammer sound that can be heard 2 floors up from the unit. My next door neighbor complains about the same banging noise. Thank you!
Aprilaires' response:
Thank you for contacting us regarding your model 800 humidifier. If you are experiencing water hammer with the solenoid, you can most times remedy this with the installation of a shock arrestor. The shock arrestor gives the pressure behind the water a place to go without banging the water against the valve.
We have a shock arrestor available, which is our part number 4280. Please contact your installing contractor regarding having a shock arrestor installed.
If you have any further questions regarding this or any of our products, please feel free to contact our customer service department at your earliest convenience.
