There were a good many com
ments last season to the effect that
Joe Wood of the Red Sox and Walter
Johnson of Washington had lost
their effectiveness as pitchers. Just
how far off these comments were can
be learned from the records of the
American league hurlers, the official
figures being now available.
Wood in 157 innings allowed an
earned run'average of 1.49 per game.
But Johnson was the real leader, as
he performed in 336 innings, more
work than any other pitcher did, and
allowed 1.55 earned runs every nine
innings. Shore of the Red Sox was
third, 1.64 runs being counted off him
every nine innings of the 247 he
Mel Wolfgang, No. 5, was the first
Sox pitcher. He did but 53 innings
of toil, but allowed only 11 earned
runs in that time. Mel was used
mainly as a finisher, his task being
especially difficult, as the opposing
teams were usually in a hitting mood
when he went to work. That makes
his record especially good. Some
time the midget will get a real chance
and he will show the goods.
Jim Scott was the most effective
of the regular Sox hurlers, standing
sixth on the general list He allow
ed 2.03 earned runs per game. The
other Sock men finished as follows:
Benz, 2.12; Faber, 2.56; Russell, 2.60,
and Cicotte, 3.02. Wyckoff of the
Macks was the league's wild man,
passing 165, eight more than Low
dermilk of Detroit and St Louis.
Johnson's 203 was the highest strike
out total.
There were no changes in the lead

P. Nessinger and J. Rivest rolled into

Ed Smith did not get off without
question when he called the fight be
tween Kid Williams and Frankie
Burns in New Orleans last night a
draw. The crowd, which was largely
tinged with Burns feeling, was so
sure the New Jersey man was
whipped that in the 18th round some
of the bettors began to pay off their
Williams and his manager, how
ever, found little fault with the ver
dict, which makes it sound like the
correct one.
In the first few rounds the chal
lenger gave the bantam champion a
sweet lacing and had him breaking
ground continually. But in the ninth
the tide began to turn and from then
to the finish it was all Williams, ex
cept for flashes in two rounds by the
New Jersey boy.
It was better work on the part of
Williams than was looked for. He
was aggressive for the last 11 rounds
and showed no signs of tiring un
der the terrific pace that was set

Islamabad: Authorities in Pakistan have made a plan in which a third LNG pipeline will be laid and the government has contacted Beijing for the construction of the project. The LNG pipeline will be laid from the port city of Sindh to Lahore by keeping in mind the increasing demand of the private sector said a senior official.
He said, "We have placed the request with authorities concerned in China for deliberating the details of the project. Initially the private sector itself desired to build the pipeline, but in the wake of technical and some financial constraints, the ministry came forward and submitted the request with Chinese authorities seeking help for making the project a success story." He further added that, "We are hopeful of positive reply within days".
The official said that the pipeline would be built on PPP (public private partnership) mode. China is already initiating the construction of 700 kilometers gas pipeline which would be laid from Gawadar to Nawabshah at a cost of $1.35 billion and to this effect Inter-State Gas System (ISGS) on behalf of Pakistan and China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) on behalf of China have signed the agreement.
Russia is also working on South-North (S-N) LNG pipeline which has a capacity to carry 1.2 billion cubic feet of gas from Karachi to Lahore to cater to the rising needs of energy of load center.
Russian team would arrive on Wednesday for crucial talks on the pipeline and three to more talks would be held between the parties. The third LNG pipeline which the private sector wants to construct is now being handled by the Chinese authorities. The pipeline would have the capacity to transport the re-gasified LNG of 1.2 bcfd.
The official said that the Gawadar-Nawabshah LNG pipeline project would be constructed with 85 percent financing from Chinese Company and 15 percent from the government of Pakistan and the price at which the gas line would be laid is much below from the estimated cost. The government of Pakistan will arrange the financing of Rs15-12 billion for the project from the head of GIDC (gas infrastructure development cess). The project would be completed under EPC Financing mode.
Once the pipeline is completed then Pakistan will extend the pipeline with three compressor stations by 81 kilometer backward from Gawadar to the Iranian border as part of IP gas line. The pipeline when connected with Iran will become economically feasible since pipeline would transport the gas of 750 mmcfd from Iran and 500 from LNG terminal. Iran will increase the gas export up to 1 billion out of which 250 mmcfd gas will be earmarked to cater to needs of Gawadar.
Sources said that the LNG terminal with 12 kilometer pipeline will be built at Gawadar port with capacity to handle LNG of 500 mmcfd by the same Chinese company on BOOT (build, own, operate and transfer) basis.

I would like to take the opportunity to formally thank Century 21 and in particular Stephen Hall for his partnership in the selling of my property located at 359 Foxtrap Access Road. We had the pleasure of dealing with Stephen six years ago when we relocated from Ontario. He came highly recommended from the transfer company that was assigned to my move and lived up to recommendation of TransferEASE. In October, we decided to move back to the west coast of province and called upon Stephen again to assist us in our endeavor. Stephen was open, honest and had our best intentions in mind through our whole process. A couple of obstacles came up and Stephen rose to the occasion with ease. First, we decided we would move in December with the house not sold. Stephen assured us the house would be monitored and maintained and it was. Secondly, I had some issues with the mortgage company and Stephen stepped in as a liaison and communicated with the company and updated me weekly. I was under duress at this time and Stephen eased my mind several times and was always there when I needed him. I hope that Stephen is acknowledged for his hard work and his representation of Century 21. If all your employee's holds the same honesty and integrity as Stephen does, I am confident your business will continue to grow and strive. Please feel free to post to other potential sellers as I'm sure they will have a similar experience as us.
I will continue to refer Stephen as well as Century 21 to all my friends and family. Thank you Stephen and hope to speak with you soon!
Kindest Regards,

text: As a sales rep. in the pharmaceutical industry for 25 years, I find that the incidences of what some call "unethical" practices is quite rare. Indeed, most of these unethical practices emanate from generic producers who have less concern for consistent quality than from companies whose future depends on consistent quality well above USP standards due to the relatively short time they have to recoup cost of development and generation of funds for additional research. These events are so rare that when they do occur, they generally make news headlines. As for the pill turning yellow, even a generic manufacturer is not likely to market a product that is visibly deteriorated; the long term effects for the patients, and, consequently the company, would be detrimental. Occasional color changes do occur with age that have nothing to do with the quality of the product. The pharmaceutical industry is one of the most responsible and socially concious industries in the world. If every industry utilized the level of ethics and quality control practiced by the pharmaceutical industry, there would be few complaints of any kind. Best regards, John

Renewed hope in search for missing Canadian bushwalker
Yelling has reportedly been heard from a hut in the New South Wales Snowy Mountains where rescuers are searching for a Canadian bushwalker.
Prabhdeep Srawn began walking from Charlotte Pass Village to Mount Kosciusko more than a week ago and has not been seen since.
An air search for the 25-year-old is now focussed on a specific location within the Kosciuszko National Park where a voice has been heard.
The SouthCare rescue helicopter has also been tasked to the Opera House Hut area, but it is not yet confirmed if Mr Srawn has been found.
Hopes of finding the 25-year-old alive had been fading, with overnight temperatures in the mountains dropping as low as -2 degrees Celsius.
His family arrived in Australia on Tuesday.

|Erazem Lorbek is in his fourth season with FC Regal Barcelona
By Dimitris Kontos
Slovenia's Erazem Lorbek, who turns 29 next month, is widely considered one of the best European power forwards and accordingly, he has had a fulfilling career.
He first broke onto the big stage at the European Championship for Junior Men in 2002, leading the competition in scoring (23.8 PPG) and rebounds (10.8 RPG) to guide Slovenia's U18 side to the silver medal.
He went on to play for some of the most storied clubs in Europe, winning league and cup titles in Italy with Fortitudo Bologna and Benetton Treviso, in Russia with CSKA Moscow and in Spain with FC Barcelona Regal.
Lorbek also won the Turkish Airlines Euroleague title with Barcelona in 2010 and has been named on the First Team of the same competition.
It is no secret either that the Slovenian forward had the option last summer, once again, to make the jump to the other side of the Atlantic but he chose to ignore the NBA sirens and stay with the Catalan giants, where he's been an integral part of the team since 2009.
If there is one accolade Lorbek has still not achieved in his career, one empty spot in his trophy case, that's a EuroBasket medal with Slovenia.
"A medal would be amazing, for sure amazing," he told FIBAEurope.com.
"We've been trying to win this medal for many years now but [at the same time] we all know it's a long tournament and you have to be a really great team to get this medal."
Slovenia came oh so close to the EuroBasket semi-finals many a time since Lorbek and the other players of his generation gradually formed the core of the senior national team.
Next September they could have their best chance ever, since the country is hosting the showcase event of European basketball.
Lorbek however is a seasoned veteran and he doesn't make predictions, he doesn't even set the elusive podium finish as his and Slovenia's aim in September.
What is instead obvious with every word he says, what comes across as the most valuable nugget of experience from his multi-winning career, is that every tournament, even one as relatively short as the EuroBasket, is a marathon rather than a sprint.
"I think it will be a long EuroBasket, with many good teams there," he said.
"It is important for Slovenia to get ready and that all the players arrive healthy.
"I think we will have a good team if most of us come, but still we will have to play well of course, because it's very tough [competition].
"So the more good players you have, you can have a good bench and make better substitutions for more games in a row."
|Lorbek first suited up for Slovenia at the European Championship for Junior Men in 2000
Whether Slovenia's bench will be deep enough to enable them to reach far in the competition remains to be seen, but one thing the hosts will definitely not be short on is experience.
Lorbek alone already has four EuroBaskets under his belt and has played -and impressed- in all big arenas in Europe.
Even for a player of his experience though, playing in front of a friendly crowd still provides an extra boost.
"Playing at home will be a big difference, a huge difference," he asserted.
"It will help us a lot to play in front of our fans, it will help with the quality of the team [performance]."
The big man might have left Slovenia years ago to pursue this enriching career, but even from Barcelona he is fully aware of the expectations back home.
"Our fans expect from us to play well and to get a good result," he stated.
"They know us, they know how we can play and they expects us to be one of the protagonists of this EuroBasket.
"This [tournament] means a lot for the country and for Slovenian basketball.
"People in our country like basketball, they wanted this and it will lift the morale [of Slovenians] for sure."

A charity shop in the town is desperately looking for donations and volunteers to help keep the store open and continue its work in helping its feline friends.
Cats Protection is based in Seaside Road but it is struggling to survive because people dropping off items and residents able to help man the shop have been hard to find.
Shop manager Liz Cunningham said, "We appreciate times are hard but we'd really welcome donations of clean second hand goods to help us to keep going.
"People must have unwanted gifts or clothes that are taking up valuable cupboard space which would really help us out.
"The revenue the shop generates is used to supply essential cat rehoming services.
"Without this support, we would have to turn away many unwanted cats."
The charity is keen to hear from anyone who is able to spare a few hours to volunteer at the shop and is appealing for the community who have any unwanted good quality items to donate them to the cause.
The store is currently on the lookout for different items including DVDs, clothing, books and handbags.
Shop opening hours have been extended and it is now open from 9am to 5pm on Monday to Saturday if you can help call Liz or Roz on 733888 or email: firstname.lastname@example.com. You can also find out more via its Facebook address: https://www.facebook.com/CatsProtectionEastbourneCharityShop

Moraine athletics wrap: Rain reigns in cross country opener
- Written by Maura Vizza
It was delay of season for Moraine Valley College runners.
At least that was so for the Cyclones men, who weren't able to complete their initial race of the campaign because of rain on Aug. 30. The inclement weather washed out a portion of Elmhurst College's Early Bird Invitational.
The women's race was run in its entirety, but Moraine did not have an especially auspicious debut as it took 10th in a 12-school field. Marist grad Aileen Gorman was the Cyclones' highest finisher, occupying the 54th position among 158 individuals after timing out in 17 minutes, 31 seconds over the 4K course at Eldridge Park.
Following their teammate down the chute were Queen of Peace alumnus Miranda Reyes (82nd in 18:44), Jessica Flores (121st, 20:12), Alexis Mindock (129th, 20:54), Nancy Ibarra (131st, 21:12), Stagg product Amanda Gerzon (136th, 21:53) and Maritza Najera (141st, 22:41).
Although the first outing was something of a mixed bag results-wise, Moraine coach Mark Horstmeyer took into account the conditions when assessing the Cyclones' performance. He applauded his athletes' efforts in a hot and humid environment.
"For Aileen, Jess and Lex, who were all running in their first collegiate race, it was an eye-opener," Horstmeyer said. "They learned a few things about racing and about themselves, so they'll go back to work.
"There's a lot of work left to be done. I know the girls felt the same way."
The men's 6K event did get underway, but was halted after about seven minutes when bad weather rolled in.
"We knew the storm was coming, but we were hoping that it would hold off until we could get the race in," Horstmeyer said. "And it was looking like we might. But all of sudden, the wind picked up significantly and thunder and lightning started booming and flashing, and it was time to get the kids off the course."
Although only about a mile of the race was completed, Horstmeyer was pleased with what he saw from the Cyclones, all but two of whom were running as collegians for the first time.
"The guys did what we asked them to do," Horstmeyer said. "We wanted them to run a controlled first mile and stay together. It was really neat to see the pack."
The only weather that was a factor at last Friday's Midwest Classic in Bourbonnais was heat, as temperatures hovered close to the 90-degree mark at race time.
Moraine's women, who entered the meet as the 16th-ranked team in the National Junior College Cross Country Coaches Association poll, went up against nine four-year schools at Aspen Ridge Golf Course and placed eighth in the field. Gorman was again the Cyclones' pacesetter as she clocked a 22:13 over 5K and finished 58th among 125 runners.
Tiffany Huntley (70th in 22:48), Reyes (76th, 23:09), Flores (86th, 23:52), Mindock (95th, 24:35), Ibarra (109th, 26:27) and Gerzon (116th, 27:51) followed Gorman down the chute. Horstmeyer applauded his women's efforts in steamy conditions, but noted that there's "still a lot of work left to be done."
"I know the girls felt the same way," he said. "We saw improvement from last week, and that's what we want. They gained experience running in their first 5K of the season against four-year schools — we were the only community college in the field.
"We're back at Olivet on Friday for Illinois Intercollegiates, when there will be a lot more teams and a lot faster teams. It's exciting."
The men, seeing their first full action of the year, were ninth among 12 teams. Evergreen Park product Anthony Briante was Moraine's first finisher as he covered the 8K distance in 29:57, which put him in 74th place in a 128-runner field.
Thomas Cira (Brother Rice) was 10 spots behind Briante after timing out in 30:36. Evergreen Park grad Brandon Ceh (94th in 32:01), Anton Thauer (96th, 32:03) and Ryan Dovgin (102nd, 32:35) were the Cyclones' other scorers. Completing Moraine's list of competitors were Alejandro Montes (111th, 33:28), Jesus Rojas (113th, 33:50) and Evergreen alumnus Justin Briante (122nd, 37:20).
"For all but one of the guys, this was their first college race at the 8K distance," Horstmeyer said. "It was not the result we were expecting, nor what they wanted to achieve, but they had a positive finish being the only two-year college at the meet. That's something to build on.
"We're young, and it was a learning experience. I expect their learning curve to continue upwards."
Practice makes perfect, and the Cyclones spent the last weekend of August working out the kinks and getting a feel for the competition at the site where the 2013 national tournament will be held.
Dealing with some tough opponents, Moraine split four matches at the Owens Community College Tournament in Toledo.
"This 'season kickoff' tournament brings teams from all over the country to play on the courts where we all strive to compete in November," Cyclones coach Gloria Coughlin said. "It's a tough tournament that has the top-level teams slugging it out with each other, with the end goal not necessarily winning, but more learning about our teams' strengths, weaknesses, character, stamina and general personality.
"We all want to find out what we need to do between now and November to attain our long-range goal of qualifying for the national tournament and, of course, winning it."
Moraine was pitted against Michigan schools in all four encounters, beginning with Schoolcraft College, which was defeated 25-18, 25-14, 25-12. Kara Kentner (Sandburg) led the Cyclones with 14 kills, 12 assists, three service aces and 14 digs.
Autumn Seiler also was hot with 11 kills, three aces and 10 digs. Taylor Serrano (Mother McAuley), Gina Ryan and Alex Bojan each chipped in five kills, with the latter adding two blocks as well, while libero Kayla Manthei scored on two serves and was tough in the backcourt with 17 receptions and 16 digs. Setter Joanna Curtis (Sandburg) distributed 24 assists.
Moraine had another easy win in its second outing as it beat Macomb Community College 25-9, 25-21, 25-17 behind big performances from Bojan (13 kills and just two attack errors) and Kentner (10 kills, 14 assists, two aces). The Cyclones were efficient as a team with a .329 kill percentage overall.
Moraine didn't fare quite so well on the tourney's second day. A tall Oakland Community College team posed trouble from the start as the Cyclones struggled to stop the big hit and get control of line-drive serves.
Serrano and Seiler put down six kills apiece, while Ryan and Kentner both chipped in five as Moraine got tagged with a 25-20, 25-20, 25-15 setback.
"This is one of those matches that helps us plan the next few practices to include lots of hard serving at our own passers and more blocking drills to protect the net," Coughlin said.
After watching Muskegon Community College earlier in the day, Moraine was ready to face the high-level team to gauge how to improve its own game. The Cyclones dropped a 25-23, 25-19, 21-25, 26-24 verdict, but Coughlin felt the match was a character-builder and demonstrated her athletes' willingness to battle against long odds.
Ryan was Moraine's go-to hitter with 16 kills and only two attack errors against a much taller foe. She also had 16 digs and 14 good receptions. Seiler added 13 kills, while Kentner had 10 and Serrano notched nine.
Kentner also assisted on 23 kills, while Curtis dished out the team's other 31 assists, to go along with 15 digs. Manthei was strong on defense with 45 digs and 21 serve receptions.
"We want to continue to build upon what we learned [that] weekend as we start our [Illinois Collegiate] Skyway Conference play," Coughlin said.
There are always fireworks when Moraine meets Kankakee Community College. The two had their first match of the season last Wednesday and the Cyclones emerged the victor by a 25-16, 25-18, 25-23 count.
The two squads square off again Sept. 21 in Kankakee.
It was a big night for Moraine's middle hitters as Bojan (13 kills, .647 attack percentage), Kenter (11 kills, one error in 17 attempts) and Serrano (10 kills, .500 percentage) all excelled. As a team, the Cyclones registered a .386 percentage.
Being able to run the middle attack meant Moraine passed well and dug a lot of balls right to the setters. Curtis assisted on 27 kills, Kentner added 20 assists and 12 digs, Manthei paced the defense with 20 digs and Ryan chipped in 10.
After much anticipation, the Cyclones finally played their first match of the season and made it known, loudly and clearly, that they're not messing around in 2013.
In a dominating performance in its home opener, Moraine beat the College of DuPage 8-1. Liz Dominguez set the tone by winning her match at No.1 singles, but the real thriller was team captain Alexa Armon's third-singles match, which went three sets.
Armon stayed mentally strong, however, and came back to win a 12-10 tiebreaker in the deciding set. That match clinched the team win for the Cyclones because, before that, they had won only four of the six singles positions. A loss by Armon would have placed the outcome in the hands of Moraine's doubles tandems.
Oak Lawn alum Claudia Maka (No. 4), Lindsey Walker (No. 5) and Tricia Poremba (No. 6) all won their singles matches convincingly. All three doubles teams were strong as well.
"It feels absolutely amazing to get this first win under our belts," first-year coach Nicole Selvaggio said. "I believe [this] match will set the tone for the rest of the season.
"The energy was unbelievable. The girls really came together and supported each other, [and] they proved that tennis should no longer be considered an 'individual sport.' I have never seen such camaraderie on a tennis team in all of my experience in the tennis world."
That being said, Selvaggio doesn't want her athletes immediately resting on their laurels.
"We are not going to let this win make us overconfident," she said. "I know what is ahead. I will continue to prepare my girls from here.
"It's just nice to see that they really are taking to my coaching."
So close, but no cigar.
Once again, the Cyclones missed out on a team win by the narrowest of margins. In its third ISCC match of the season last Wednesday, Moraine placed third, but was just two strokes out of the top spot.
In their two previous conference outings, the Cyclones were no more than two shots behind the eventual champion. Moraine was tied for first in the ISCC entering this latest event.
Pat Neylon (Shepard) and Jack Misheck played their top rounds of the year on Wednesday as they both recorded 77s. Joe Knight was right behind them with his 78 and Jeff Cizek carded an 82 to complete the Cyclones' team scoring.
According to coach Bob Freudenthal, this was Moraine's best overall performance to date in 2013.
The Cyclones kept things rolling along on Aug. 31 with a 3-1 win over Kennedy-King College. Steve Henry (Oak Lawn) and Greg Healy (Stagg) each scored unassisted goals for Moraine, while Patryk Paprocki netted the last one off an assist from Healy.
Despite playing on their home field, the Cyclones were upended by Morton College, 5-1, last Thursday. Freshman Lutth Tchitembo tallied Moraine's lone goal on an unassisted play.
The Cyclones had a rough go on their home field last Wednesday, as they were shut out 6-0 by the College of DuPage. Moraine keeper Roxanne Milan was tested often and wound up being credited with 10 saves.
Another offensive drought plagued the Cyclones last Thursday, and the result was an 8-0 whitewash doled out by Lincoln College. Although again facing a barrage of shots, Milan made saves on seven of them.

OWLS HEAD — The award-winning Canadian folk-grass duo The Laws, hosted by the Owls Head Transportation Museum, will perform at the museum's free community concert at 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 15, at the museum.
The concert follows the release of The Laws' sixth CD, "Try Love," a melodic collection of country-folk music with bluegrass hints. John and Michele Law have 10 years and 1 million miles on the road as a couple, performing at venues across the United States, Canada and Australia.
Earning many great reviews for their original music, the Laws have gained praise for their culinary talents, too. Developing delicious dishes on the road is quite a feat, and the result of their impromptu kitchen prowess is their cookbook, "The Laws: Live and Cookin'," available at http://www.thelaws.ca.
The Laws have agreed to do a mini cooking show (with music) while they're in Owls Head. Lincoln County cable viewers may see the Laws in action before the concert by watching local cable television station LCTV's "Whazzup" at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 14. Michele, with John's help, will make lobster ravioli on the show. Anyone can catch the show online later, as LCTV posts "Whazzup" shows at http://www.LCTV.org.

Hi all,
How would you feel if they added a variation of Reaper of Souls' Bounty-system to World of Warcraft?
In case you don't know, Bounties is a new way to play Diablo 3; the game presents you with tasks to do all around the world, such as killing a boss in a specific area, and once you've done that it'll reward you for it. You can do these Bounties over and over, and they are random, so you get to progress and find loot - but you don't get bored or grind the same place.
Here is how I imagine this for WoW:
- Adventures would be a type of world quest that you complete for a reward.
- The rewards come in the form of a Bag of Spoils, which contains some currency (like Valor and Gold), as well as a potential bonus item. This item can be anything; useful gear, a mount, a pet, etc. The item you may get will also be based on the activity you did, so you get something your character could actually benefit from.
- The Adventures would send you on tasks around the entire world; not just the newest continent.
- Different types of Adventures ask you to do different things, but examples could include to kill a specific boss, reach a reputation with a faction, attack an enemy city in PvP, and so on.
- To begin an Adventure, you visit the Hero's Call Board in one of your faction's major cities.
- In the Hero's Call Board interface, you make a few choices in regards to what Adventures you want to display: PvE or PvP; group, raid or solo; which continents you want to Adventure on; and so on.
- Three Adventures are displayed based on your choices, randomly chosen from a pool of hundreds of Adventures - all designed by Blizzard.
- Once you choose one, the others fade out and you cannot select a new one until the current one is either finished or abandoned (abandoning an Adventure comes with a debuff preventing you to select a new one in a while, so you can't abuse the system until you get a particularly easy one).
- If you choose a group or raid Adventure (requires being in a group or raid to finish), you can share your Adventure with your comrades provided that they do not already have active Adventures of their own.
- Your chosen Adventure is displayed in your Quest Log, along with a descriptive test of what you need to do.
- Once an Adventure is finished, a reward screen pops up with your Bag of Spoils and potential experience points.
- You may then select a new Adventure at the Hero's Call Board. If you are in a group or raid, only one person has to visit the Hero's Call Board, and may then share the new Adventure with the rest via the Quest Log.
- Defeat Lady Vashj before a timer expires.
- Help defend a team of Mountaineers in Dun Morogh against a trogg attack.
- Track down and kill a specific Rare mob.
- Kill one of each breed of trolls, found across the world.
- Kill an enemy faction leader.
- Pick every type of herb found on Kalimdor.
- Craft ten pieces of armour made from Thorium.
- /Hug Garrosh Hellscream on Heroic Difficulty before defeating him.
- Catch fifty Glacial Salmon out of Grizzly Hills rivers.
- It gives you repeatable content, akin to daily quests - but it's a ton of more varied and fun.
- It gives you and your friends something to do in case you don't feel like raiding or running dungeons - perhaps like now, when the current tier has lasted a bit long, and SoO doesn't have the same appeal as it did before. Note, however, that based on your choices, Adventures could become your form of raiding. Instead of sticking with one raid, you and your friends could do a bunch of raid Adventures in different parts of the world on the same night.
- It gives each expansion a lasting purpose - Adventures never get out of date, their rewards are simply updated.
- Because more difficult (newer content) Adventures give higher rewards but take more time, it is up to you whether you want to run a ton of old content fast, or a little bit of new content more slowly. The rewards will be appropriate in the end.
- It puts people in the world, and makes us visit older continents. We'll revisit old raids, towns, zones, and questing hubs that we had perhaps forgotten and not seen in years.
- It makes us do a ton of different things in the game; everything from raids to PvP and crafting - but it lets us do it in a dynamic, varied, and fun way. Instead of grinding ourselves crazy doing the same thing over and over, we get a nice mix of things.
That's it for now - feel free to comment!

Review of the Piano Discovery System
As far as we have been able to determine, Jump Music, the publisher of the Piano Discovery System, is no longer in business. PDS is still available from some third party suppliers, so we will maintain the review in the near future. Be advised that support is no longer available for PDS. However, we have recently found a tech support archive for JumpMusic products at web.archive.org. Owners of the PDS systems can consult this for help.
PDS 3.0 exhibits a font problem with Windows XP and Windows 2000. A fix for this is available and is reviewed on another page on the site.
The Piano Discovery System, like the Miracle, comes as a hardware/software bundle that includes a small MIDI-compatible keyboard, a cable to hook the keyboard to the joystick port on your sound card (Gamers, relax! The PDS has a built-in pass-through port for your joystick.), and the software on CD-ROM. Since the new configuration uses the sound card and computer speakers for sound output, speakers are not built into the keyboard, as in the Miracle. The resulting PDS keyboard is smaller, lighter, and has a built in carrying handle. Unlike the Miracle, if you want a pedal, you have to buy it separately, although the keyboard has a connector for it. The original Miracle came with 50 lessons; the Piano Discovery System divides a more extensive set of lessons into Years 1, 2 and 3. The Year 1 and 2 lessons come in the package; the Year 3 lessons are available separately. For this review, we examined all the available lessons.
Once the keyboard is connected to the sound card, installation is done using a Windows 95 style installation program, which in our hands went forward without problems on our Windows 95 system and required only minor sound driver tweaking on our Windows 3.11 system. You'll want to check the hardware requirements below carefully before you buy; the 8 Mb RAM requirement is one that some of the oldest systems might have trouble meeting. Then again, the Piano Discovery System might just be the perfect reason to increase your system's memory! The PDS also requires a sound card capable of simultaneous WAV and MIDI input (not all are).
After you've logged in as either an adult or child student, you are taken to Discovery Island, a theme park metaphor in which you can go to different buildings to experiment with the musical ideas in each building, or go straight away to the heart of Discovery Island, the Schoolhouse, to begin the business of learning to play the piano. In the Schoolhouse, you will learn to play the new pieces and follow the chapters/lessons connected with the new pieces. This system uses updated versions of the same arcade-style learning games as the Miracle System to spice up the learning experience and work on finger training. The graphics in these games are greatly improved, but we found the games to move slower. Perhaps this is due to the overhead of the Windows 95 operating system, although our test system with 16 Mb of RAM should be only minimally affected by the greater memory requirements of Windows 95.
The first and most noticeable improvement you will notice from the Miracle system is that the chapters now have narrators to explain the lessons in more detail, provide more historical and structural information on each individual piece of music, and gently tell you if you need to improve on certain aspects of your playing as you practice each lesson of the chapter. We found the narrators to be helpful and the information to be correct and insightful. The introduction of narrators is great for the younger ones using the system, especially if their reading skills in English are not highly developed yet. This feature is a great advantage of the Piano Discovery System, especially for teachers, since it's no longer necessary to sit with students who have trouble reading the computer screens. Even the adult student who has had a bad day and doesn't feel up to doing a lot of reading will find the narrators helpful.
Continuing our tour of Discovery Island, the Practice Bungalow is there if a specific piece of music is giving you particular trouble. Inside the Bungalow, you can practice either the piece of music from the chapter in the Schoolhouse or tackle other pieces of music directly related in degree of difficulty to the Schoolhouse chapter. When working in the Practice Bungalow, the student can choose from hands separate practice, or hands together, and can also adjust the speed at which to practice the particular piece of music.
The Discovery Studios are a great place to hear prerecorded pieces of music, or load, play and edit other MIDI songs you might have on disk. You can also select instruments, record, and compose. On the Jam Stage, the student can play along with a band and record his performance. This is great for all users, but especially those who haven't had too many lessons yet, because you can still sound great.
Once you have successfully learned all the lessons for the individual chapter, you are the featured soloist in the Discovery Island Performance Hall. This is where you will find one of the most interesting improvements in the software. The orchestra still accompanies you when performing the finished piece of music, but after the piece of music is finished, the screen shows the audience applauding the performer, and a newspaper review also appears. This review will give a summation of the student's performance, and if it is not such a great performance, will gently suggest ways to improve it. Just for fun we did a perfectly awful performance; the lack of enthusiasm of the applauding audience was apparent, though they didn't boo us. Obviously, they're polite connoisseurs! This Discovery Island Performance Hall was both fun and a great learning experience.
The Piano Discovery System introduces a division between levels of difficulty into three graduated levels. Particularly exciting was the wonderful expansion of repertoire and pedagogy in the Level Three grouping. The repertoire included music by Rachmaninoff, Chopin, Bach, and in addition to teaching the repertoire, spent a good amount of time discussing form and analysis, structure and other compositional and historical aspects of the pieces of music. At least at this level, the PDS corrects one of the major shortcomings of the Miracle Piano Teaching System by adding these new topics.
The Piano Discovery System can be customized to the user's wishes to a much greater extent than its predecessor. We particularly appreciated the improvement in the metronome setting feature, which has the option of choosing from different timbres of sound for the metronome, ranging from a sharp clacking sound to a more mellow tam-tam sound. Similarly, you can disable the narration if necessary. However, you'll lose a lot of additional information if you do so.
If you have a Miracle system and would like to update to the new Piano Discovery System software, you can buy a special version that includes a MIDI cable to connect to your existing Miracle keyboard. Unfortunately, there is currently no provision for import of Miracle progress files into the PDS, so you will lose your progress records in the upgrade. This will be of little impact to individual users but may cause teachers some headaches. We understand that conversion capability is being considered for the next upgrade of the software, so stay tuned for additional developments.
Piano Discovery System maintains the strong points of the Miracle System, but improves upon it in many ways. Although the graphics might be geared towards younger users, we believe users of all ages will find it fun and helpful. We hope that provision will made in a future version for importing Miracle progress files. We highly recommend the Piano Discovery System to other teachers, parents and students; it retains pedagogical soundness while introducing new and valuable features over its predecessor.

A couple of years ago, my church, out of convenience, began supplying the congregation with prefilled communion cups with a wafer attached to the top. I'm not much of a traditionalist; however, these sterile elements really bothered me. I struggled to know why. The bread and cup are just symbols, so quality shouldn't matter, should it?
I studied the scriptures and a little church history, and I've come to the conclusion that the quality of the communion elements matters a great deal – especially in Protestant churches. Using the right elements will greatly enhance the communion experience for men.
First, a little church history lesson.
God created us with five senses, and for centuries the church built its worship services around all five. Christian worship involved sight, sound, touch, taste and smell.
But during the Reformation, Protestant ministers came to mistrust the multisensory approach to worship. Based their reading of Romans 10:17 (Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God), these ministers closed off every path for the gospel except the ears. They stripped their sanctuaries of statues, icons and adornments of every kind. "Smells and bells" were banned; preaching became the only trusted conduit for the gospel.
Not much has changed since the 1500s. Even today, more than 80% of what we experience in Protestant worship comes in through our ears; including music, preaching, and announcements. In recent years, a visual component has elbowed its way back into our worship spaces (the big screen), but very few churches display compelling visual content on their screens.
Now back to communion. The Lord's Supper is the one and only time Protestants allow themselves to worship God with all five senses. They hear God's Word as the minister gives instruction. They see and touch the elements in their hands. And they smell and taste as the bread and cup come to their lips.
And that's why a styro-wafer and pasteurized juice just don't cut it – especially for men. It's hard for us to imagine Christ's broken body if it tastes like a packing peanut.
Communion is not only a remembrance of the Lord's death. It's also a foreshadowing of the great wedding feast of the lamb, a glorious celebration we'll all enjoy in heaven one day. In the early church, the Lord's Supper was an actual feast – of such quality that people were eager to dig in, and some even got drunk! (1 Cor. 11:20 ff) While it's not practical to serve a meal in our worship services today, we can still make communion a celebration worthy of the Lord himself.
Here are some recommendations for a communion feast that will help men experience God:
- Use the freshest, most aromatic, full-bodied bread you can find. Buy the good stuff. I prefer multi-grain bread, because the body of Christ is not just white people. Of course, a quality unleavened bread is also good, since that's what Jesus would have eaten with his disciples.
- Instead of pre-cutting the bread, allow the saints to tear off individual pieces. This reminds us that we are the ones who broke his body.
- Encourage men to take a big piece of bread if they choose. Christians are used to taking a tiny morsel, but why? It's the Lord's Supper, not the Lord's Snack. Let a man take a mouthful if he chooses, as a symbol of his hunger for Jesus. Buy (or bake) plenty of bread and donate the rest to the local homeless shelter.
- Instead of serving people in their seats, invite them to come forward. This symbolizes the fact that each of us must come to Jesus. The more you engage a man's body in worship, the better.
- If your church rules allow it, it's good to use real wine. The early church used real wine (see 1 Cor. 11:20 ff) Wine stings the back of the throat. This tiny bit of discomfort reminds us of the suffering of Jesus. (Of course, have juice available for those who abstain from alcohol).
- Some churches have begun to perform distracting, vocal music during communion. I would discourage that. Keep any background music soft. Use deep bass notes to suggest the seriousness of Jesus' sacrifice.
I don't know about you, but communion is one of my favorite times of worship. Partaking of the bread and the cup is a profoundly moving experience for me. We enhance this experience for men when we use quality elements.
Next time, I'll write about a couple of ways we can make baptism more relevant for men.

Mitt's Gang, Same as the Bush & Cheney Gang
This Politico story today by Maggie Haberman reveals that one of Mitt Romney's bundlers is D.C. lobbyist Richard Hohlt, who was a "go-between" for reporter Robert Novak and the Bush White House in the scandal involving the leaking of Valerie Plame's CIA identity. According to information that came out at the Scooter Libby trial in 2007, which was reported in the book I published with Murray Waas, The United States v. I. Lewis Libby, Novak sent a draft of his fateful column attacking Iraqi invasion critic Ambassador Joseph Wilson* and outing Wilson's wife Plame as a CIA official, to Hohlt, who then sent on to the Bush White House. This is interesting on at least two counts.
1) Owing to the opacity and secrecy of the Romney campaign very little has been reported about Mitt's bundlers, which unlike the Obama campaign, will not disclose any of these key fundraisers, who not only contribute themselves, but influence other donors to give, as well.
2) It shows that Mitt's fundraising team, just like this foreign policy team, is dominated by unethical old warriors from the Bush years. This is hardly surprising, especially given Mitt's partiality to Dick Cheney, for whom Scooter Libby was Chief of Staff before his conviction on obstruction of justice in the Plame matter.
* I also edited and published Ambassador Wilson's book The Politics of Truth–A Diplomat's Memoir: Inside the Lies that led to War and Betrayed My Wife's CIA Identity (2004)

Did we start a run on Moxie?
First, as a Maine native, it's important to say that I'm finally on board with Moxie. Only took 43 years....
So over on Kenji's all sorts of SPAM post, some of us were also dishing on Moxie. I decided to put my big girl pants on and headed out to my Stop and Shop to find that there were only TWO BOTTLES left in the store (now, there's only one...), and NO DIET (I'm suffering along with regular).
Coincidence? Makes me wonder. Fess up, did anyone run out and grab Moxie today?
I'm drinking Fernet and Moxie, and I've got to say, it really hits the spot.

Laws governing the relationship between landlord and tenant protect tenants against unfair eviction, misuse of security deposit money and other abuses. While these laws vary by state, California law, which specifically addresses the rights of tenants when their landlords sell their buildings, offers among the most liberal protections in the nation.
Your Lease
A lease is a written contract between a landlord and a tenant. The landlord agrees to allow the tenant to occupy the property for a specified period of time. In return, the tenant agrees to pay the landlord a specific amount of money for the occupation and enjoyment of the space. The terms of the lease are binding on both parties for the entire time the lease specifies. Most leases are in effect for a year. If no time period is specified, it is assumed the property is being rented on a month-by-month basis.
The Terms of Your Lease Remain Intact
The new owner of the property is bound by the lease, just as the former owner was. According to the Fair Housing Council of Orange County, some leases contain a clause that allows the landlord to change the terms of the lease during the rental period, but such a change requires notification of the tenant and agreement by the tenant in order to be enforceable.
Security Deposit
When the house is sold, the current landlord must either refund the tenant's security deposit or transfer the deposit to the building's new owner. When the security deposit is refunded to the tenant, the new landlord may require that the tenant make a new deposit. The amount of security deposit allowed is limited by law and depends on the tenant's rent amount and length of occupation. The new landlord may not request more security than the tenant paid to the old landlord.
Conversion of Rental Units to Condominiums
Investors frequently purchase rental properties with the intent of converting the units into condominiums. If your landlord intends to convert your rental, she has to offer you the first right of refusal for its purchase: in other words, it has to be offered to you at fair market value before it's sold to someone else. Note that in San Francisco, according to the San Francisco Tenants Union, buildings with fewer than two or more than six rental units may not be converted into condominiums.
Estoppel Agreements
The San Francisco Tenants Union warns that new landlords of recently purchased buildings sometimes ask existing tenants to sign an estoppel agreement in which the tenant describes his understanding of the terms of his lease and any oral agreements made with his old landlord. This agreement then becomes binding: Terms included must be abided by, and terms excluded by omission may no longer be binding. Tenants cannot be forced to sign an estoppel agreement.

I believe that the Good Lord gave us a finite number of heartbeats and I'm damned if I'm going to use up mine running up and down a street.
Neil Armstrong
By heart
The Old English word heorte is related to the Latin cor and the Greek kardia. All three derive from the Proto Indo-European root kerd-. In the Old English, "heart" had already acquired multiple meanings: breast, soul, spirit, mind and intellect (now preserved in the phrase to learn "by heart").
Heart shaped
Early visual representations in religious art made the heart look more like a pine cone. The characteristic indentation in the top first appeared in a book called Documenti d'Amore by the artist Francesco da Barbarino in 1347. Barbarino worked in Bologna, where human anatomy was all the rage, so it is likely he had seen human hearts at first hand. The idea of the heart having two sides echoed the biblical image of the two tablets of the law, written in the heart.
Animal heart
The creature with the smallest heart on Earth is the Alpatus magnimius, a type of fruit fly that is less than 0.21mm long. Insect hearts are narrow tubes along their backs that pump blood towards the insect's head. The world's smallest mammal is the Etruscan shrew (Suncus etruscus). Its tiny heart hammers away at an average 835 beats per minute but it only lives for a year. A blue whale heart is the size of a Mini Cooper and weighs up to 900kg. Its heartbeat can be detected from two miles away and a five year-old could crawl through its main artery.
Beating heart
Large mammals have slow heartbeats and long lives and small ones have short lives and fast heartbeats. Because of this, no matter what size a mammal is, it has the same average number of heartbeats in a lifetime – about half a billion. This is known as "the rate of living hypothesis" and it applies to all mammals except humans.
Improvements in medicine and hygiene have extended our life expectancy so that we now get through more than five times as many heartbeats in a lifetime as all other mammals.
Small heart
A human heart starts beating at 21 days after conception. It is not known how blood in the embryo circulates before a functioning heart grows. The embryo's heart begins beating at a rate near its mother's, about 75-80 beats per minute (BPM), then speeds up to 100 BPM, peaking at 165-185 BPM during the early seventh week. Then it slows down again.There is no difference in female and male heart rates before birth.
Slowing heart
The best way for a human to slow down their heart rate is through yoga. A study into this measured heart rate in a group of novices at the beginning and end of a yoga course. It revealed that heart rates of those practicing yoga shaved seven beats a minute off when meditating, and their resting heartbeats were 11 beats per minute lower than before they began.
Stopping heart
You don't start a heart by using electric paddles. If you think otherwise, you've been watching too many medical dramas on TV. Electricity is only used when the heart is beating irregularly. If it has stopped completely, attempts to re-establish a heartbeat take the form of regular intravenous injections of adrenalin and other drugs. Survival rates for such patients are lower than one in 50. The first defibrillator used on a human was in 1947, under the supervision of Ohio surgeon Claude Beck.
Cardiac arrest remains the biggest cause of death in the Western world: more than 70,000 die from it each year in the UK.
Eating heart
The eccentric Victorian Dean William Buckland (1784-1856) was supposed to have eaten the withered, leathery heart of Louis XIV preserved at Nuneham in a silver casket. "I have eaten many strange things, but have never eaten the heart of a king before," he said before swallowing it whole.
The story has been much embroidered since: it was sautéed and roasted and served with a side helping of French beans; Buckland considered its flavour would have been improved with a gravy made from marmoset's blood; he ate it for Christmas dinner and so on. Charles Darwin disliked Buckland's "coarse joking manner" and "undignified buffoonery".

(Critical Edition of Young Adult Fiction)
Johnson's frank, unfictionalized tribute to Roosevelt explains to young readers that their rich counterparts often face their own peculiar impediments to the attainment of greatness. With a family history of established wealth and community standing, the young Roosevelt could have presumed, as his loving parents did, that a comfortable mold for his future had already been formed. James Roosevelt, his father and a moderately successful New York City businessperson, inherited sufficient money to disinterest him in strenuously seeking more. While well respected, he maintained a dignified low profile as the country squire of his Hudson River estate, Hyde Park, ministering to his farm and to local church, social, and charitable affairs. Franklin's mother, Sara Delano Roosevelt, exercised a powerful influence over her son, certain in the belief that she alone understood his best interests.
Contented at Hyde Park, with ample opportunities for travel, sailing, and stamp collecting, Roosevelt was thus directed to succeed his father as a patrician squire, although with a nominal attachment to some reputable profession. His uninspired progress through Groton and Harvard University was expected to ensure proper contacts and requisite polish. An acceptable marriage was one more realization of parental expectations, as was his acquisition of a Columbia University law degree and his association with a prominent New York City law firm. As Johnson notes, little about young Roosevelt's predesigned, somewhat cloistered life sensitized him for understanding the vast majority of his fellow Americans or fitted him for a commitment to politics....
