X-rays are best known for their use in evaluating broken bones. However, they can also be used to look at different parts of the body.
An intravenous pyelogram (IVP) is a test that uses an X-ray and dye to show your kidneys and urinary tract. It takes images of the kidneys, bladder, and ureters. The ureters are the tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder.
If you are having urinary tract problems or abdominal pain, your doctor might order an IVP. An IVP can be done in your doctor's office by an X-ray technician. It can also be done in a hospital.
Your doctor may order an IVP if you have signs of a kidney problem. These include pain in your side or back, or blood in your urine.
An IVP can help diagnose:
IVPs are still performed. However, computed tomography (CT) scans are now the preferred way to examine the urinary system. These scans take less time to perform. They are also able to provide alternate views of the system.
Drinking lots of fluid the day before the test can help get your kidneys ready to excrete the dye.
Before having an IVP, tell your doctor if:
Diabetics who take insulin should ask their doctor whether to take insulin the day of the test.
You will have to eat a special diet the night before your appointment. This is to minimize solid stools in your large intestine. Stools can make it harder to read the X-rays. You may also be instructed to take a laxative the day before the test, and to limit your dinner to clear liquids.
After you empty your bladder, an intravenous line will be put in your arm or hand. The doctor or nurse will then inject the contrast dye into the line. You will be asked to lie on an exam table, and an X-ray camera above you will take initial pictures.
As the dye is injected, you may feel tingling. It may feel like you are urinating. This is normal. You may also have a metallic taste in your mouth.
A new X-ray picture will be taken every few minutes for 30 to 60 minutes. The series of pictures will track the dye as it moves through the kidneys and ureters into the bladder. Before each picture is taken, you will need to hold your breath. Right before the last picture, you will be asked to empty your bladder again. This last picture will show how well your bladder has emptied.
After the IVP is over, you can resume a normal diet. Drinking more fluids can help your body excrete the dye.
There are some small risks with an IVP.
The contrast dye can affect your kidney function. This is usually temporary, but some people have permanent damage. There is also a chance you might react to the dye, even if you have never had an allergic reaction before.
You are also minimally exposed to radiation from the X-ray. If you are pregnant, even this small amount of radiation could harm a developing fetus. However, such complications are rare.
Talk with your doctor about any concerns or questions you have about the IVP before your test.
After the IVP is over, it takes more than an hour for the pictures to be developed. When they are all ready, a radiologist will review them. Your doctor will be sent a report. Generally, it takes a day or two to get your results.

Two first-half goals from the prolific Billy McKay helped Butcher's Caley Thistle side to an ultimately comfortable 2-0 victory over Hearts in the Highland Capital, to keep Inverness at the top of the table.
It was a game the Jambos would finish with 10-men, with captain Jamie Hamill receiving his marching orders for what seemed a harsh handball inside the box, although McKay missed the subsequent penalty.
But despite Inverness dominating the contest, particularly in the second half, Butcher saw enough from Hearts to suggest that they can continue to overcome the minus 15-point deficit handed to them at the start of the season for going into administration.
He said: "We managed to beat a good Hearts side.
"Even before a ball was kicked this season, I felt that Hearts could stay up.
"They have a good spirit about them and if they can keep everyone fit then they've got a chance.
"We named the same team for the fifth match in a row and if Hearts can try to do that as well then I'm sure they can do well."

A new Frontline documentary set to air "raises questions about test-score tampering" in D.C. on "edu-celebrity" Michelle Rhee's watch. From the Washington Post:"Cothorne told the Frontline filmmakers that when she arrived at Noyes in 2010, she noticed that students' academic abilities didn't match their test scores."
This is old news. However,
This is old news. However, seeing how Rhee has become a national celebrity, I am glad that this is gaining national attention. Next up: Joel Klein.
Yes, according to the WP
Yes, according to the WP writeup of the documentary, the "persistent suspicions" were thoroughly investigated and dismissed, but the Frontline report says the investigation fell short and that they have new information. We'll see.
Some more background here.

Being ALEC's water carrier is
Being ALEC's water carrier is evidence enough for me to be satisfied the early charges were true.
Yet her organization to dismantle public education's "grades" on how well states conform to their demands and expectations ends up near the top of the NYTimes website this morning.
You'd think she'd give the state that hired her ex-husband as Commissioner of Education a higher grade. Can we give him back to her?
Kevin and Michelle don't want one another (and we don't want either of them).
From the sidebar, Tom Humphrey reports on Rhee's StudentsFirst first ever State Policy Report Card.
The organization awards TN a C-, which results in the state ranking 11th behind Big Winners Louisiana (where New Orleans is the nation's first all-charter school district) and Florida (where private school vouchers and private tuition tax credits thrive).
Rhee's counsel:
Moving forward, Tennessee K-12 public education would strongly benefit by taking bold steps to elevate the teaching profession through mutual consent and paying great teachers more, as well as empower parents with quality choices through vouchers and creating a statewide charter school authorizer.

I have a 2004 diesel 4X4 with 188,000+ miles and for about two years the trans seems to forget where the 1-2 shift is. After that first shift it would do fine until I turned the key off...then we would have to start over.
About one year ago it started not holding 2nd gear if you were accelerating. Once the vehicle reaches 30mph, I can stand on it and it holds 2nd and all shifts after. If I baby the take off will hold 2nd at lower speeds.
Lastly; not sure if this has any bearing on things or not (really want to know if others have this issue)....If i start the truck and my low fuel light comes on...the truck will only go 20mph. If it happens while driving, it doesn't effect anything...drives normal!
Feel free to ask questions...I know what I want to say, just don't seem to say it at times!
1st things 1st.
Has the trans ever been serviced.
On an '04 with an auto you have a 48re Transmission.
Factory service is recommended evry 30k miles.
Not only filter and fluid (+4 trans fluid ONLY) but adjust the bands.
One of the band adjustments is on the left front side of the case the other requires the pan to be removed.
2nd accumulator solenoid is known to take a dive on the also but 1st do a trans service, not just a filter/fluid change.

The Depaul School Of Ne Florida Reviews
Wonderful, positive experience
My granddaughter started school at Depaul in October. Her first initial reaction to learning she was leaving her old school/teachers and friends was not a good one. However, once she settled in at Depaul with a lot of positive feedback from teachers and new friends she settled in. She loves DePaul now and it has done so much to boost her self confidence that she can learn, she just learns in a different way. She has grown and been exposed to many opportunities she would not have had in public school. They have a caring group of teachers and office administrators and since it is a small school, they all know each other. Nothing but praise for this wonderful school.

Wow… what a pain.
If you have a .p7b certificate
that needs to be installed in IIS 7.5
You may receive this error, "Cannot find the certificate request that is associated with this certificate file."
If that's the case, here's how to get the certificate installed.
Start up certmgr.msc.
Right click on a folder –> All Tasks –> Import…
Import the .p7b certificate.
Select "Automatically select a certificate store"
It'll be imported under Personal –> Certificates (you may need to refresh).
Right click on the certificate –> All Tasks –> Export.
Export as "DER encoded binary X.509 (.CER)."
Give it a filename.
Back in IIS, repeat the process for completing the certificate request. This time give it the .cer file you just exported.
That should install the certificate.

The nation's unemployment rate last month dropped from 7.6 percent to 7.4 percent, the lowest level in 4½ years, as businesses added another 162,000 jobs, the Labor Department reported Friday morning.
While the jobless rate has fallen quickly from over 8 percent in the last year, overall job growth has slowed somewhat in recent months from the strong 200,000 a month pace set earlier in the year. Revisions showed that 26,000 fewer jobs were created in May and June than previously reported.
"Definitely a bit soft," said Brian Battle, director at Performance Trust Capital Partners. "200,000 is really the benchmark for maintaining the employment rate."
Hiring was particularly strong in restaurants, big-box stores and other retail outlets, however. About 47,000 new jobs were created in department stores, home improvement stores and auto dealerships.
Eateries took on another 38,000 employees. Taken together, hiring at the malls has surged by more than 700,000 in the last year.
In some of the first evidence of the government-wide spending cuts that have prompted widespread furloughs of federal workers in recent months, the average workweek fell slightly to 34.4 hours from 34.5 hours.
"The rise in payrolls was offset by a shortening of the workweek," said Justin Wolfers, economics professors at the University of Michigan, adding that's a "worrying detail" in what was otherwise a "steady as she goes, amazingly consistent" jobs report.
Other than the slight decline in hours worked, however, there's little other evidence of the across-the-board spending cuts that started taking effect in March, he said.
"Here's the puzzle: Where's the sequester?" he asked, noting that federal employment outside the Postal Service was flat in July after declining by 10,000 in June.
The sequester is having an impact outside government, however, in sectors such as health care and defense that thrive on government spending.
With cuts in Medicare ordered at the federal level and many state governments chiseling away at Medicaid spending, private health care job growth has been anemic this year.
Last month, hospitals and doctors' offices added no new staff, and the average job growth in health care of 16,000 a month so far this year is almost half of last year's growth rate of 27,000.
Wage growth also remains anemic at 1.9 percent in the last year — about half the rate of growth seen in the fourth year of previous economic recoveries.

For more than a decade Ben Stiller has promised Blue Steel fans a "Zoolander" sequel, but recently, the actor revealed the script is "not quite coming together."
"We have a script, as we've had for a little while, and it's not quite coming together right now, but I hope it does," Stiller told Collider. "I would like to do it at some point in the future."
Last May, Stiller revealed a few plot details about the highly anticipated sequel. For Derek Zoolander and Owen Wilson's Hansel, the modeling industry is proving a challenge, and Blue Steel just isn't cutting it anymore. "Ten years is a thousand years [in the modeling industry]. They're both totally out of it and have to start from scratch," Stiller told Empire. "And then there are things set up at the end of the first movie that we're able to build on, like Derek and Matilda have a son, and Mugatu went to jail. There's a lot there, I'm excited about the idea of doing it. It feels like it's getting close to going."
Stiller also confirmed that Will Ferrell, who played Mugatu in the original, would be back for the second film.
"Will Ferrell is written into the script and he's expressed interest in doing it. I think Mugatu is an integral part of the Zoolander story, so yes, he features in a big way," Stiller said.
Hopefully, Stiller and co-writer Justin Theroux will find a way to make the script work. After all, isn't that what The Derek Zoolander Center for Kids Who Can't Read Good and Wanna Learn to Do Other Stuff Good Too is for?

[via Collider]
Party on.
One of the funniest Christmas movies ever, too.
A sequel that might just be better than the original.
Renegade pilot Topper Harley is back.
As heartwarming and amazing as the original.
There is a very strong argument for this being the best comedy sequel ever, as well as one of the best sequels of any film genre.
"Shrek 2" is just as good, if not better than the smash hit original. "Shrek 3" and "Shrek Forever" After also deserve honorable mentions.
It was always going to be tough to live up to the original 1994 cult classic, but "Clerks II" did a pretty good job of that.
Kevin McCallister is lost in New York this time.
Classic Leslie Nielsen.
"Back To The Future" is just one of the best trilogies ever, comedy or otherwise.
C'mon, it's Paul Hogan.
We can never get enough Peter Sellers.
Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker did the first "Rush Hour" justice with this action-comedy.
Not as good as the original, but 80s Eddie Murphy can do no wrong.
The movie which introduced Pubert Addams to the family.
Harold and Kumar are a long way from White Castle in this one.
They give the Grim Reaper a wedgie. Enough said.
The only Muppets movie directed by Jim Henson himself.

By Potterhead on 2015-04-30I bought these headphones because I'm going to travel a lot over the summer so I guessed that I would need a nice pair of headphones for on the road. I already have the Beats Solo but those gave me a slight headache when I wear my glasses because they are quite tight.
So after doing quite a lot of research (even though I decided that I would buy them just because they look dashing) and saw that others said they were tight, they are extremely comfortable even with glasses. Furthermore, the sound quality seems the same as my Beats... Maybe with a little less base. Additionally, they look amazing and are super small when they fold up which is an extra bonus when packing.
By MidnightSun on 2014-09-06Frends Oil Slick rocks! Beautiful design, great sound, and I get compliments all the time!
My only gripe would be that the cord runs on both sides of the headphones. I guess because of the design they had to do this, but it does get in the way sometimes.
Other then that. I love these headphones oh so much!
By Beatrice on 2014-05-12They are super comfy and they look amazing! I've got lots of compliment and the sound is really good ;)

Now come the tea party protests.
Across the country, members of the political movement plan to hold noontime street protests today as part of a backlash against the Internal Revenue Service's targeted delay of applications from conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status.
The national Tea Party Patriots group called for the demonstrations. Its website shows a map of IRS offices nationwide and offers talking points and suggestions for what to put on signs.
The demonstrations come a day before Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Vista, is set to convene a hearing in Washington, D.C., about the IRS scandal.
Issa, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, has called four federal officials to testify during the session, which he has titled "Targeting Americans for Their Political Beliefs."
Scheduled to appear are Douglas Shulman, a former IRS commissioner; Neal Wolin, deputy secretary of the Treasury Department; Lois Lerner, who oversees the division handling tax-exempt organizations; and J. Russell George, the inspector general for tax administration.
George oversaw a report released last week that found the IRS was holding up applications for tax-exempt status from groups whose names included words such as "tea party," "patriot" or "9-12."
President Barack Obama has lambasted the IRS conduct, calling it inexcusable and promising reform. Steven Miller, acting IRS commissioner, submitted his resignation last week. He will leave in early June.
On Monday, White House spokesman Jay Carney said administration officials learned about the investigation into the IRS but held off on alerting Obama until it was completed.
No local tea party groups have been identified as having applications stalled, but the Vista Tea Party Patriots said its efforts in a City Council recall campaign were hampered by the National Tea Party Patriots having its application delayed.
Rhonda Deniston, regional director of the Carlsbad-based organization Stop Taxing Us, compared the IRS actions to former President Richard Nixon's during the Watergate scandal. "Nixon directed audits against people on his enemies list, and this is no different," Deniston said Monday.
Deniston estimates the San Diego County has about 70,000 active tea party members. She plans to join a protest at noon at the corner of Vista Way and El Camino Real in Oceanside.

" Brand: Enliven / Type: Hand Wash / Suitable for: Hand "
* Prices may differ from that shown
I'm sure you do not need me to advise you of my passion for toiletries where I love trying and testing new products, as I'm always on the look out for a bargain. I have used a number of products from Enliven, which is a value brand that offers a wide variety of toiletries for the hair and body. One of my purchases was their Anti-Bacterial Handwash and this review discusses my experience with using the product.
I cannot describe the handwash as being eye-catching, as in my opinion it is rather basic where we are provided with 500 ml of bright blue product contained within a cylinder shaped transparent plastic container. Whilst this is solely down to personal preference, I always find that many of the shops' value products, such as bubble baths, shower gels and hand washes are always coloured blue and I subsequently associate them with being of an inferior quality. However, I am always open to trying new products with my reasons for this purchase being the reasonable price and the fact that it is an anti-bacterial handwash. There is minimal text on the front of the container, but for some unknown reason Enliven love to clutter the reverse with the smallest of text, which proves extremely difficult reading.
Due to its' rather unappealing packaging and the size of the container I used the handwash solely in the kitchen, as I prefer something luxurious in my bathrooms. The product has a transparent plastic pump dispenser, which initially needs to be removed from the locked position and pressed to draw the handwash into the unit. This proved to be rather difficult, as unlike other brands that require only a few pumps I found myself harshly pressing the pump about twenty times in order to dispense the liquid. Unfortunately, the consistency was rather runny, as there was far too much water content, so it was necessary to ensure that my fingers were tightly closed to prevent it from dispersing between them and subsequently, slipping straight down the plughole. The aroma was difficult to describe and as a rule I can normally detect a specific fragrance, but I have failed with this as all I can say is that it was clean and fresh. The lather created was very minimal, so I did not feel that I was sufficiently washing my hands and consequently, I felt the need to wash them again.
A real frustration for me is that each time the dispensing unit was pressed the handwash seeped out of its' underside and over a period of time began to run down the outside of the container and cause a messy pool on my kitchen worktop. The wash was easily rinsed away from my hands and left a delicate aroma for literally a few minutes; after which I was unable to smell anything. I had expected the handwash to be drying and a little harsh on the skin, but fortunately, this was not the case, but I cannot report that it was moisturising as per Enliven's claim. I found that due to the vast amount that I needed to use on each occasion, the handwash was used very quickly, but as I suspected it proved difficult to use every last drop. Consequently, I found myself removing the dispensing unit and placing the container on its' side and needing to vigorously bang the base to access the handwash. For the reasons I have discussed above, this is a product that I cannot recommend, as it is of a poor quality and very disappointing. Consequently, Enliven Anti-Bacterial Handwash receives only 1 star from me.
There is a long list of ingredients contained on the reverse of the packaging, which I do not intend copying into this review. However, I would advise that the handwash contains alcohol. Enliven does not test any of its' products on animals, the handwash should be used within 3 months of opening and the container can be recycled once empty.
If you are interested in purchasing this product you can find it in stores such as Lloyds Pharmacy and Body Care where the 500 ml bottle will cost you 79p.
I hope you found my review useful and would thank you for reading.

A high-speed railway between Beijing and Guangzhou will open in two weeks' time, the Chinese Railways Ministry said yesterday. It will offer the longest bullet-train ride in the world and cut the journey time between the two cities to less than eight hours.
When services begin on December 26 - the 119th anniversary of the birth of late Communist Party patriarch Mao Zedong - the 2,298-kilometre (1428 miles) line will eclipse the high-speed railway between Beijing and Shanghai. That 1,318-kilometre (819 miles) route opened in June last year.
It will connect the Pearl River Delta to the nation's political centre, and link the capitals of four land-locked provinces - Shijiazhuang , Hebei ; Zhengzhou , Henan ; Wuhan , Hubei ; and Changsha , Hunan , where the pace of economic growth has surpassed that of some coastal regions.
It will eventually allow high-speed trips between Beijing and Hong Kong, after the Shenzhen-Hong Kong high-speed link's completion, scheduled in 2015.
Trains will run at 300km/h (186 mph), although they are designed for speeds of up to 350km/h.
The shortest journey time between Beijing and Guangzhou will be less than eight hours, compared to three hours by air.

markets in Zia: best places to shop
If you head up to Zia there is a whole road dedicated either side to shopping. There are some local crafts, pure olive oils and herbs, hand made items, plenty to choose from. Whilst your in Zia make sure you have lunch in one of the roof top terraces where there are the most spectacular views over the island.
What to buy: Some of the stuff is much the same as you will get elsewhere on the island, the usual tourist tat but there are also some unusual items that you wont find anywhere else.

Various: Best Greek Postcards & Calendars
There are the usual selection of poor quality postcard images and bog standard calanders in all shops.
My tip is to look out for the range by George Meris, which stands out head-and-shoulders above all the rest. You will find them mainly in photographers and specialist shops. The Calanders and postcards by this photographer are simply stunning.
The postcards are 1 euro each, which includes an envelope. The calander we chose was called 'Warm Light' Calander and varied in price from the most expensive in Kos Town at 15 euros, to the least expensive in Kefalos for it for 11.5 euros.
These are the sort of images that you will want to keep and frame.

Fist of the Four Lights
I drew a comic panel featuring Captain Picard, in the style of a macho anime/manga called Fist of the North Star. I know revenge doesn't suit Picard, but it's just a comic :)
I may do art requests, i'd prefer to draw only Picard, Data, Klingons. I'm not good at drawing regular people.
Re: Fist of the Four Lights
Like you said, Picard isn't about revenge....normally.
But why does it say "datadatadata etc" when Picard is pummeling Madred? Is there a secret message there?
Re: Fist of the Four Lights
I think its great, well done! :) Good work.
The ah-datadatadatadatadata is a bit weird though :)
LOL. Picard Has Roid Rage
no other way to explain those huge traps and mean spirit
Re: Fist of the Four Lights
Uh, kind of out of character for Picard but impressive work.
Re: Fist of the Four Lights
Agreed about the "datadatadata" bit, but the rest of it I like.
Re: Fist of the Four Lights
Maybe some of the Picard we saw in First Contact resurfaces.
Or there's a Borg implant they didn't find that alters his behavior somehow. It would make a good story.
Re: Fist of the Four Lights
Perhaps in an alternate universe, this would be totally believable. Particularly if Picard had been held captive for a much longer period, and the experience made him more hardened. But it's very well done, regardless. I love the style you use, Kracov. Is the 'DATADATADATA...' bit an in-joke as Picard pummells Madred? Otherwise it's a bit odd.
Love it overall though. :techman:
Re: Fist of the Four Lights
The "ah-datadata..." part mimics the part in the Fist of the North Star series where the protagonist uses a move called Hundred Crack Fist, and does a hundred hits. He says "Ah-tatatatatata..." like a machine gun.
Re: Fist of the Four Lights
I'm not sure most people would catch that reference. I sure didn't.
Re: Fist of the Four Lights
It's like a Sergio Leone Kung-Fu movie starring Picard!
I'd watch that.
Re: Fist of the Four Lights
I think it's funny.
Re: Fist of the Four Lights
Well, I loved that. I hope everyone else can see it for the parody that it happens to be.
Re: Fist of the Four Lights
That was excellent! The artwork is quite impressive too. Well done.
Re: Fist of the Four Lights
I think its great!! I don't think the nitpicking is warranted. Clearly this Picard is not supposed to be acting in character, otherwise it wouldn't be funny! Did Picard have bulging muscles in the show as well? Of course not, but no one has mentioned anything about that...

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for National Law Center On Homelessness And Poverty, Washington, DC, USA
I have had the privilege of working with the National Law Center on Homelessness and Policy over many years. My first experiences with them were in developing and improving national laws to end homelessness and poverty (specifically - the McKinney Vento Homeless Assistance Act) which ultimately led to my becoming a member of their Board after I had left employment on Capitol Hill. The NLCHP always came with the facts - with solid reports - but an intense understanding of the human costs of poverty and how we could alleviate or eliminate those costs. With their commited leadership and staff, they continue to provide the legal protections and legal solutions for people who are homeless - whether it is making sure children who are homeless get in and stay in school; that people receive the benefits they're due; or, just keeping institutions accountable by enforcing the law through the legal system. The NLCHP works through its excellent staff and volunteers as well as utilizing links to pro-bono attorneys around the country. The organization is truly a shining star in Washington and in the nation - providing exemplary service and a voice for human rights and dignity in the United States.

Originally posted on World Series Dreaming | Last updated 4/8/13
Well that didn't take long, the Cubs were swept for the first time in this young 2013 Season thanks to the Atlanta Braves. Even though it was warmer in Atlanta compared to Pittsburgh, that wasn't enough to get the Cubs' bats going. Atlanta had a good combination of great starting pitching, timely hitting and good outing by their bullpen which easily gave them the series sweep. Let's get into the recap of games. 4/05: L Braves 4, Cubs 1 W: Minor (1-0) L: Feldman (0-1) SV: Kimbrel (2) Cubs hitters were fooled by Mike Minor, who apparently has come out to prove himself after his struggles last season. The lefty pitched a great, efficient game to keep the Braves in the game, he gave up only one run, struck out seven in his 7 1/3 innings of work. Scott Feldman on the other hand didn't have great command. He threw 102 pitches in just 4 2/3 innings. The Braves were up by one run and Feldman was one out away of getting out of the fifth inning but he then loaded the bases (walked two and hit another) which set up Juan Francisco's single that brought home another two runs and gave the Braves the 4-1 advantage. The only Cubs offense came from Scott Hairston, who led off the fifth inning with a homer off Mike Minor. 4/06: L Braves 6, Cubs 5 W: O'Flaherty (1-0) L: Marmol (0-1) Cubs pitcher Carlos Villanueva had an impressive solid start allowing only one run on six hits, while striking out six in his 6 2/3 innings pitched. The Cubs bats seemed to have a little bit more life and Anthony Rizzo hit his second homer of the season, another two-run homerun just like on Opening Day. The Cubs were leading 5-1 on the bottom of the eight but Fujikawa made it a one-run game and was replaced by Marmol to get the save. We all know how that ended. While I don't defend Marmol nor think he should be our closer, I thought he got all the blame put on him when it really wasn't completely his fault. We all knew this was coming and it took five games for Carlos Marmol to lose his job to Fujikawa. 4/07: L Braves 5, Cubs 1 W: Hudson (1-0) L: Samardzija (1-1) Jeff Samardzija seemed like he was going to continue where he left off on Opening Day. He did his best Kerry Wood impression but fell short. He had a career high 13 strikeouts and went 5 2/3 innings allowing four runs on four hits. The Braves' Tim Hudson allowed only one run in his 6 2/3 innings of work. David DeJesus' double brought home Anthony Rizzo which was the only run the Cubs were able to produce. With the loss, the Cubs finished the road trip 2-4; we all know that the offense has been the major problem for them here at the start of the season. They head into Monday's game batting a combined .175. The Cubs are finally back in Chicago for their home opener against the Brewers. It will be the 100th. Season of baseball at Wrigley Field, hopefully them being home will spark those bats up some more! Here are the upcoming games: Milwaukee Brewers vs. Chicago Cubs Monday, April 8th. at 1:20 p.m. Marco Estrada, RHP (0-0, 7.20 ERA) vs. Edwin Jackson, RHP (0-1, 3.60 ERA) Tuesday, April 9th. at 7:05 p.m. Wily Peralta, RHP (0-1, 6.75 ERA) vs. Travis Wood, LHP (1-0, 0.00 ERA) Wednesday, April 10th. at 7:05 p.m. Kyle Lohse, RHP (0-0, 1.50 ERA) vs. Scott Feldman, RHP (0-1, 7.71 ERA) Thanks for reading and as always, Go Cubs! -Ivy

November 29, 2015
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Thousands of opponents of Ohio's new collective bargaining law have paraded through the streets of Columbus to deliver nearly 1.3 million signatures aimed at getting a repeal question on November's ballot.
The We Are Ohio campaign delivered the petitions to the secretary of state Wednesday. They say they have more than twice the number of signatures required to be validated in each of Ohio's 88 counties.
Gov. John Kasich signed the law in March. It bans public employees from striking and restricts collective bargaining rights for more than 350,000 teachers, police officers, state employees and other public workers.
Kasich continued to stand up for the law at an education-related news conference held shortly after the parade.

"A woman mistakes a man for a log—and so starts Alix Ohlin's engrossing novel, Inside. The novel jumps between decades, locations and characters with a precision that makes Ohlin's hard work seem effortless. The novel is full of surprises and things to admire, but the writing is genuinely clever because it always serves the characters. Inside is a novel about people. It is beautifully crafted and beautifully told." —From the citation for the Scotiabank Giller Prize nomination
"Spanning a twelve-year period, the story moves briskly between New York, Los Angeles, Montreal, Kigali, and the Inuit community of Iqaluit. As the protagonists try, and fail, to establish connections with other human beings, Ohlin charts their small victories and larger disappointments. She is skilled at making her chilly cast of characters accessible, and even their most unlikely actions make sense, thanks to her tightly drawn portraits. And, while the novel's premise is hardly comic, its Hollywood scenes show off the author's satiric flair." —The New Yorker
"Alix Ohlin's wondrously engrossing Inside and Signs and Wonders display her characteristic strengths—dynamic plots, keenly observed settings, and characters so idiosyncratic, ambivalent, and contradictory they could be your family, your neighbors, people you work with… She has a rare gift for examining the confusions of the 21st century, exploring the ways in which addictions, afflictions, attractions, and random impulses shape our lives. Her intense and beautifully shaped new novel and stories offer tentative yet illuminating answers." —Jane Ciabattari, The Boston Globe
"A writer who should be famous… Ohlin has as unsettling an old soul as Leonard Cohen's." —T.F. Rigelhof, The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
"Superb [and] captivating… Next to brilliant phrases and scenes of laugh-eliciting satiric jabs, there are brutal, heartbreaking circumstances." —Bret Josef Grubisic, National Post
"Ohlin's combination of smooth prose, thematic reach and structural ambition makes for a novel that is both easily accessible and demanding in the best of ways… What's true of all good fiction applies even more emphatically here: Inside, though fully satisfying the first time through, all but demands a second reading. It's something most readers will be more than happy to do." —Ian McGillis, Montreal Gazette
"An original novel about a timeless theme: the persistent difficulty of loving and well-meaning people to connect to one another.... Ohlin writes in elegant prose that is flush with wit and style, as clever and smooth as Lorrie Moore.... The closing lines of Inside are like a rose in winter bloom. Ohlin's novel runs with an undercurrent of hopelessness. Her characters have a hollow-ness inside. But Inside is, ultimately, a novel about hope. It begins with a gesture of despair and ends with one of promise. Who are these people? They are all of us." —Sean Carman, The Rumpus
"Twisty, clever, and captivating... Dynamic.... There's no fuss in Ohlin's pointed prose, but plenty of insight... the title also makes for an unintended endorsement of Ohlin's skills; this cunning writer yanks you inside her world." —Mary Pols, The Philadelphia Enquirer
"Can any of us really save another person? Or is each of us solely responsible for his or her own life? That's the question lurking behind [this] astute novel... Ohlin is a master short-story writer (see Signs and Wonders), and the early chapters may feel like discrete tales. Very soon, though, you'll see how they're all intertwined." —Leigh Newman, Oprah.com
"Twisty, clever, and captivating… this cunning writer yanks you inside her world." —Mary Pols, The San Francisco Chronicle
"Psychologically astute, emotionally resonant… Ohlin allows her readers to know her characters more fully than any of them will ever know each other… A quiet novel populated with beautifully drawn, complex characters that will get inside the heart as well as the head." —Florina Pendley Vasquez, Shelf Awareness
"You can't help but become invested in Inside. Ohlin displays a profound empathy for people at their least rational—and most human." —Entertainment Weekly
"A memorable read….consistently surprising, often devastating as the protagonists find themselves unable to share what's on the inside." —BookPage
"Alix Ohlin is a crazy talented writer, smart and soulful. Inside is, in a word, stunning." —Beverly Lowry
"In her gripping novel, Alix Ohlin covers vast geographical and emotional territory. With extraordinary power, she takes us inside the profound and fragile connections of her deeply human characters—each searching for salvation from the past while struggling to find forgiveness and redemption in the present. This story of surprising turns, grace, and compassion left me feeling that my world and my heart had grown larger." —Keith Scribner
"We're lucky to live in a world with a writer as gifted and as graceful as Alix Ohlin. This book is instantly engrossing, engaging, and moving. I began to think I lived inside of this beautiful and absorbing novel, so real were her characters, so complicated and human their plights." —Robin Romm
Alix Ohlin is the author of The Missing Person, a novel; Babylon and Other
Stories; and Signs and Wonders, a new collection. Her work has appeared in Best American Short Stories, Best New American Voices, and on public radio's Selected Shorts. She lives in Easton, Pennsylvania, where she teaches at Lafayette College.

Zoe Kravitz is ''embarrassed'' by how her parents dress, but swaps T-shirts with her rock star father.
Zoe Kravitz is "embarrassed" by how her parents dress, but still steals their clothes.
The 'X Men: First Class' actress is daughter of rock star Lenny and former 'THE COSBY SHOW' actress Lisa Bonet and she says she finds herself swapping clothes with them all the time.
She said: "I used to be a little embarrassed by how my mom and my dad would dress, but now I steal their clothes all the time. My dad has totally taken my Cat Stevens T-shirt, but It's OK I have his Black Flag one and that's amazing."
Zoe added she had to get used to her 'Are You Gonna Go My Way' hitmaker father's eccentric dress sense from a young age, which made for quite a scene when he was being strict with her.
She added to Asos magazine: "My dad was brought up very Old School, very strict - 'Yes ma'am, yes sir,'
"So he's wearing leather pants and a boa, but he would be like, 'Did you do your chores today?' Or 'That dress is Too Short!' Seriously, no joke."
Zoe's fashion is more in tune with her mother's, and is so close she also once unwittingly bought her mother's clothes back from a vintage store.
She explained to ASOS magazine:"She took a bunch of stuff down while I was away, and I went there when I got back and bought five of her things.
"I got home and was like, 'I can't believe I just paid for your clothes!' Out of everything in the store I bought my mother's things!"
