An Open Letter: To My Favorite Georgian
Last year you were an enigma. In fact, you spent nearly 80 games picking your nose and plucking your eyebrows. But no worries, because you awoke at the perfect time. When Philips Arena was sold out to the masses, louder than ever before (see Hollinger from ESPN - "Of the five arenas I've been to in this postseason, Philips was easily the loudest"), you decided to strut your massive caucasian body out onto the court and let the NBA know of your physical prowess. You earned your playing time with hard work, a defensive intensity that the '85 Bears couldn't match, and European brute strength and intimidation. Surely, it wasn't pretty watching you muscle up ugly layups and grab critical rebounds, but we - the fans of our beloved Hawks - appreciated your hard work and newfound energy and willingness to beat the crap out of the biggest douche in the NBA.
We wondered over the offseason, would you improve? Would you take what you've learned about the playoffs and create a new drive to make it there again? Would you work on your English so your courtside interviews (however few and far between) would be even a tad more understandable? What would Zaza Pachulia, the energizer bunny of the Hawks playoff series with the Celtics, bring to the table in 2008-2009?
Well, we've seen both sides of you, Zaza, thusfar this season. When you've come out with a clear sense of intensity and urgency, you've been one of the best 8th men in the NBA. In the last game you played, on Saturday 11/29, you started and destroyed Toronto's big men on your way to 17 rebounds. 17 REBOUNDS?!?! The only player with more on the night was Emeka Okafor, who is being paid $12,000,000.00 this year. Zaza, when you come to play, you are a force. When you don't, you look like Lebron's mother being told to sit her ass down. Admittedly, you've had some serious stinkers - games where you look lost out there. Zaza, you have some games that make the fans think you just took a nyquil instead of a dayquil, like you hit the shower head with your head, or like Robert "Tractor" Traylor sat on you earlier in the day.
Are you inconsistent? Yes. Is that to be expected from a big man who gets sporadic minutes? Of course. But do the fans deserve to see you give it your all for 82 games, whether in the playoffs, heading to the playoffs, or bumbling around in last place? You better believe it. Would you like to taste some of my grandmother's sweet potato souffle? Only you can answer that.
The point is this - no matter if you start and log 25 minutes or come off the bench for 10, you should play like your salary depends on it. Is it a sham when Mike Woodson (who will get his due in another post) sits you for a whole game? Yeah...but no matter what, when you're name is called, you better bust ass. The fans want to see more of this and this, and less of this.
Zaza, you are clearly Ryan Cameron's favorite name to yell over the PA in Philips Arena (ZA ZA PACHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUULIA). Here's hoping we hear it more often.
Your Biggest Fans
P.S. - This is awesome:

I think your a little to tough on ZaZa. He like many of the young Hawks are growing and improving each year. Woody needs to play his bench. Whenever possible the starters minutes should be held to 30 min. Contiued improvment and development of the bench will be the result. Our bench is stronger and more proficient than in past years. The more playing time that can be given to these players now will pay dividends in the second half of the season and the playoffs. Yesterdays game was a nice example of the minutes being spread around and still getting a win. It's easy to play your best players. Over time it is not necessarly the best idea. Woody has adjusted his bench play from last year and the Hawks are better for it. Lets get Childress back next year and make playing time for the starters even a bigger pleasent problem.

It looks like two new upcoming unannounced Asus netbooks have been uncovered checking in at the EnergyStar website.
Along with the newly announced dual core Asus 1015PEM powered netbook, it also listed the Asus Eee PC 1015PDG and Eee PC 1001PXD.
The EnergyStar website has become a constant source for finding unannounced netbooks as they have to check in there first to be tested for their Energy rating.
Along with revealing the two model names, it also shows that the Asus Eee PC 1015PDG has a two core processor running at 1.66 GHz, but we think this might be incorrect, and it is either a single core, or uses the new N550 at 1.5GHz per core.
The Asus Eee PC 1001PXD is said to be a single core netbook running at 1.66GHz, with 2GB of RAM.
For now I would take these rough specifications with a pinch of salt.
As more information comes our way we will be sure to update this post.

Press reports this afternoon have suggested that Paris Saint-Germain will hope to make the most of their connections to sign Paul Pogba.
The French champions have a good working relationship with the youngster's agent Mino Raiola, and according to Quotidiano Sportivo, will look to exploit that, and persuade the representative to bring his client to Paris.
The Juventus man has been heavily linked with a move to Les Parisiens in recent months, but the paper believes that Antonio Conte's side will try to tie Pogba to a new deal before January, with an increased minimum fee release clause.
President Andrea Agnelli conceded last month that it would be 'difficult' to keep Pogba if a huge bid came in.

DALLAS, TX--(Marketwire - Oct 23, 2012) - Rmax Operating, LLC will celebrate its 35th Anniversary, according to Rmax President and COO, Martin Heiskell. Rmax has been under the same ownership for all of its 35 years, manufacturing commercial, residential and industrial polyiso insulation products and providing engineered solutions for enhanced energy efficiency.
The company was founded in 1977 by Milledge A. Hart, III, a founder and former director of The Home Depot and co-founder and past president of Electronic Data Systems (EDS). It officially began manufacturing products as Rmax, in April of 1978, when it opened its first plant and delivery facility in Dallas, Texas, where its headquarters remains to this day.
A year later, Rmax opened a second manufacturing facility in Greer, South Carolina, and in 1981, a third plant was opened in Fernley, Nevada.
Mr. and Mrs. Hart have been the active owners of the company since its inception, making Rmax the longest-standing, privately held polyiso insulation manufacturer in the nation. Mr. Hart has always been Chairman of Rmax, and his spouse, Linda W. Hart, has served as the company's Vice Chairman since 1990.
"Rmax contributions to the industry are many," said Heiskell, who noted the company's pivotal role in founding the Polyisocyanurate Insulation Manufacturers Association (PIMA) in 1987, under former Rmax President, Richard W. Griner, as a major milestone. "Our commitment to the industry and our customers endures, as we have recently introduced our ECOMAXci Wall Solution to provide continuous insulation for commercial buildings, and our Thermasheath-SI structural insulation solution for residential applications during the past year."
Over the years, Rmax has engineered many building science breakthroughs, including structural roofing insulation products, green blowing agents and, more recently, its building envelope system insulation solutions. The company's technical expertise, customer service, commitment to sustainability and proven track record of supplying quality insulation and building solutions for all types of structures is renowned throughout the industry. Rmax operates sales offices coast-to-coast, ready to serve the needs of its evolving and expanding customer base.

Competing online is a new game for many independent retailers. As competition from big-box stores continuously increases, it is essential for owners of independent brick-and-mortar stores to consider growing their businesses with expansion into the world of eCommerce. Many know they need to define a consistent strategy to sell online, but retailers need effective tools for that strategy to be successful. With technology, retailers are able to connect with consumers in powerful new ways.
Whether your business has already established an Internet presence, or you're preparing to take a business online, eCommerce can mean much more than an additional "purchasing location" for consumers. It's also about maintaining relevancy in today's fast-paced market. The new version of
Epicor iNet™ eBusiness Suite*, an integrated eCommerce and eBusiness technology solution, offers an additional storefront to consumers and is a valuable tool for everything from product research and purchase, to directions to your store. By providing convenient self-service information, consumers and commercial customers can find that the new Epicor iNet software makes it easier for them to do business with retailers.
New doors for both the retailer and their customers are opened with eCommerce. By selecting the correct solution for a business, retailers can magnify their footprint and capitalize on increasing valuable customer relationships not just locally, but nationally and globally. In addition to better connecting to your consumers, eCommerce is another way to grow a revenue stream outside the traditional retail space, as well as help keep costs down by letting customers serve themselves.
Kinnucan's Specialty Outfitter, founded in 1987, operates the company's online store with Epicor iNet software. "If you're in the retail business you will eventually have to be an eCommerce business if you want to compete effectively and have any future," said Bobby Lake, president of Kinnucan's Specialty Outfitter. "We spent a lot of time and energy making sure that our brick-and-mortar business was successfully and efficiently operated. Since we had all those pieces in place, it was our time to move into eCommerce to expand our business further. Epicor iNet is the technology behind our eCommerce strategy. The benefit for us is that we're now able to take our business across county, city, and state lines – geography is no longer an issue."
The newest version of Epicor iNet software is packed with powerful and timesaving new features, including:
How do you get started with eCommerce? Every good strategy begins with an evaluation period. Take a complete look at your organization before you even consider the technology. Are you ready to run eCommerce as an incorporated division? Evaluate you're people and understand whether or not you have the right operational model and framework to support online selling, and if you can meet and support the needs of your customers.
As an independent retailer you're competing with a sea of options. When a consumer wants something, regardless of locality, retailers must respond with an easy and seamless purchase process. What's great about modern retail technology is that it provides that process and more. The tactics and tools are available for retailers to succeed, so long as retailers are motivated to educate themselves and embrace the technology.

Republicans turned against Boehner, leaders after GOP's big 2014 victory
Republicans' frustration with House Speaker John Boehner and other GOP leaders has risen sharply this year. Now, Boehner has become the latest casualty.
Polls show Republicans in a restive mood
Even before Donald Trump and Ben Carson surged past more traditional GOP presidential candidates in the polls, Republicans were feeling restive about their party and its leaders.
24% of Americans now view both GOP and Democratic Party unfavorably
The rise in frustration, especially this year, is largely concentrated among Republicans and Republican-leaning independents critical of their party.
When discussing politics, family plays larger role for women than for men
About seven-in-ten U.S. adults talk with others about politics at least a few times a month, but whom they talk with most often varies a great deal between men and women.
Partisans differ sharply on power plant emissions limits, climate change
Overall, a majority of Americans support stricter limits on power plant emissions, but as with climate change, the views of Democrats differ markedly from those of Republicans.
An Elaboration of AAAS Scientists' Views
This report provides a deeper examination of views about key science topics by members of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
5 key takeaways on what influences Americans' views of science
Politics are at the center of Americans' views on many, but not all, science issues. Here are five facts from our new report.
Americans, Politics and Science Issues
The general public's political views are strongly linked to their attitudes on climate and energy issues. But politics is a less important factor when it comes to biomedical, food safety and space issues.
Major Gaps Between the Public, Scientists on Key Issues
Despite broadly similar views about the overall place of science in America, there are striking differences between the public and scientists' views on a host of science-related issues, from whether genetically modified foods are safe to eat to whether the world's growing population will be a major problem.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo said he wants to "use casino slash resort destination" as a magnet to draw people from downstate to upstate and defined the latter as anything north of the Bronx. But he was sort of joking.
In a session with reporters on Thursday, he said allowing casinos in the New York City area would defeat the purpose of improving upstate's economy.
He said he would honor agreements with the Seneca Indian Nation, which has an exclusivity territory in western New York, as long as the compact terms are in good standing. He hopes to get gaming companies to focus on upstate.
"If there were going to be one in the city, that would be the option that most bidders would bid on," he said, so "we want to take that off the table."
However, Cuomo said a casino within New York City was possible in future years: the upstate exclusivity the governor indicated was only to apply to "phase one" of the state's gaming development. Cuomo did not, however, say how much time would lapse between phase one and any future phases.
"We have not thought about Phase II," he said.
Cuomo said that racino operators should not feel threatened about competition because bidders on developing would likely not want to locate next to the video lottery terminal facilities, which market themselves as casinos. Racino operators, of course, have been lobbying for the ability to expand into full-fledged casinos. Cuomo said it will be up to the casino bidders to determine the sites, and that voters might not know where the proposed casinos would be built if the matter goes to a referendum in November.

Seven Arts to Premiere Autopsy Nationally at Horrorfest III
Seven Arts Pictures plc (Seven Arts) (PLUS:SAPP)(OTCBB:SAPXF) announced that After Dark Films has acquired the rights to distribute "Autopsy" (Autopsy) as part of its national film festival called Horrorfest III-"8 Horror Films to Die For" ("Horrorfest"). Autopsy will premier nationally on January 9th 2009. Five other films have been announced for Horrorfest, "The Broken", "The Butterfly Effect 3: Revelation", "From Within", Perkins' 14", and "Slaughter".
After Dark created Horrorfest as the first national film festival for horror films in 2006 (www.horrorfestonline.com). In its first year Horrorfest became the first film festival in history to break into the Top 10 at the national box office.Autopsy was directed by Adam Gierasch, and produced by Seven Arts Pictures, from a script Adam wrote with Jace Anderson and E.L. Katz. Adam and Jace are now in production on another Seven Arts horror film, Night of the Demons, directed by Adam Gierasch.
Autopsy stars Robert Patrick (Spy Kids, Bridge to Terabitha, Terminator 2), Jessica Lowndes (TV "90210"), Jenette Goldstein (Aliens, Terminator 2, Clockstoppers) and Ross McCall (Band of Brothers). Jessica Horowitz, Steve Markoff, Bruce McNall and Warren Zide produced the film. In Autopsy, a group of young partygoers are taken to an isolated hospital after a car accident. Once there, they become trapped in the hospital along with a number of helpless patients. Seven Arts Pictures will distribute the movie internationally.
Peter Hoffman, CEO of Seven Arts, commented, "We're proud to be partnering with After Dark on this film. We're hoping that this will be the beginning of a strong relationship between Seven Arts and After Dark Horrorfest."
After Dark CEO Courtney Solomon stated, "Horrorfest III's lineup is nearly complete and we are ecstatic to be including Autopsy in the festival. Autopsy is sure to terrify our very discerning horror audience and live up to our tradition of bringing our fans interesting well made horror films."
Jessica Horowitz, producer of Autopsy, added, "Adam wanted to make a horror movie for horror fans, plain and simple. We couldn't think of better distribution for Autopsy than Horrorfest."

Ex Fabula is 'off the record' this month
What was it Sid Hudgens, the crooked publisher of a tabloid rag in L.A. Confidential, the noir novel by James Ellroy, would say? Ah yes, "Off the record, on the QT, and very hush-hush."
A dash of dish was as good as a dose of dope to hear Sid, played by Danny Devito in the saucy 1997 film, tell of it. Dirty stuff.
If you ask Bob Woodward, the Washington Post reporter famous for ferreting out the facts in the Watergate affair, which led to the resignation of president Richard Nixon, though, he'd tell you that getting sources to share secrets can be essential to breaking important stories.
The lore of "off the record," in both fiction and fact, is large and not always terribly clear. It's an idea that will fuel real stories told by Milwaukeeans at the next Ex Fabula storytelling event. The special guest storyteller will be Jessie Garcia, TMJ4 sports reporter. If you have a 5-minute tale to tell and want a shot at telling it on stage, show up early to put your name in the hat.
Ex Fabula's StorySlam happens at Wednesday at Lucille's Piano Bar, 1110 N. Old World 3rd St. Tickets are $7 (cash only). Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and show starts at 7:30 p.m.

'The Last of Us' review: Survival horror thrills
Published 2:53 pm, Wednesday, June 19, 2013
"The Last of Us" isn't exactly original, but it feels fresh. After successfully mining the likes of Indiana Jones for the "Uncharted" series, Naughty Dog sets its sights on subdued survival horror that's a mix of "The Road," "The Walking Dead" and "Children of Men." Squint your eyes and it looks like they've cast Josh Brolin and Ellen Page as father and daughter figures Joel and Ellie.
The setup is familiar, even well-worn: Twenty years after a fungal pandemic has left society in tightly pocketed shambles, Joel and Ellie have to make their way across the country while dealing with soldiers, gangs and infected "zombies." But Naughty Dog has shown an uncanny talent for translating a cinematic experience into an interactive one, effortlessly flowing from one crisis to another in a way that quiets their predictability. The prelude, in particular, slips from the mundane to the terrifying so quickly that you're still hoping for the best, even as things go very, very bad.
The first 10 minutes give a sense of not only how the pandemic transforms the world but also the main character. If we frequently wondered how happy-go-lucky Nathan Drake could kill hundreds of henchmen in the course of a treasure hunt, there are no such questions with Joel, a broken and hardened man who, in his own words, has "been on both sides" of an ambush. This doesn't make the up close and personal violence any more palatable, but it does go a long way in making it less grim as his relationship with Ellie develops.

Providing a context for the violence also makes it all too easy to slip into conventional, if polished, combat. This despite the fact that victims of the fungus are shambling horrors best avoided. Prolonged effects of the disease include strange growths covering the face, leaving the victims to make strange chittering noises as they blindly move about. The mechanics of Joel simply crouching down and listening to hear where one might be on the other side of the wall feels both tense and appropriately back to basics.
But the instinct, at least in how I'm playing, is to run toward the danger instead of away from it. Too much time is spent crafting shivs from bandages and broken scissors; it's too satisfying not to sneak behind someone and use them in the worst possible way.
And when attempts at stealth go wrong, as they often do with human enemies, there's always use of an upgraded shotgun or revolver, though there may not be enough bullets for either. You'll often die going commando, but it feels too fulfilling the times you succeed.
Still, the narrative leans toward flight over fight at the right time. Where another game would build up the presence of an armed humvee for a protracted boss battle (complete with a conveniently placed RPG and unlimited ammo, natch), the payoff here is to run, run, and run some more, even when there's no more road.
There's only one way for this to play out, but the moment is thrilling and desperate enough to keep you going until the bitter end.

The convention of California miners,
which opens in this City to-day under the
auspices of the California State Miners' As
sociation, will be the most important over
held in this State, and upon the determi
nation of the delegates will depend some
concerns vital to the people. The two
great matters are hydraulic mining and
tbe relation of the Southern Pacific Com
pany to the mineral lands which it claims
under its Government grant. In addition
to these, considering the remarkable re
awakening of activity in the mining in
dustry, will be the general proposition of
furthering and strengthening this move
With regard to the first proposition, it is
urgent that the antagonism existing be
tween the farming and the hydraulic min
ing interests be broken down instead of
increased. While it is deplorable that
hydraulic mining was necessarily stopped
by reason of the damage it was doing to
the rivers and lands of the valley region,
it is impossible to believe that the inven
tive genius of the age is inadequate to de
vise such a scheme as will permit the re
habilitation of this industry without work
ing the injury which caused its cessation.
It will De for the miners to solve the prob
lem. And miners of all kinds are inter-;
ested in the solution.
The question of railroad claims to min
eral lands will require exceptional cars and
intelligence in the handling. Rumors
were started some time ago to the effect
that the railroad company was interesting
itself in the selection of delegates to this
convention. There has been little talk of
that kind lately, but this will make popu
lar espionage of the delegates' conduct
none the less close. It will not be difficult
to judge any delegate's fealty by his
speeches or vote. The interest involved is
one that concerns every resident of the
State, whether he is a miner or not.
There need be no fear that the miners will
fail to appreciate their grave responsibility
in the premises.
The delegates are visiting the City at
the pleasantest time of the year. They
will find many things to entertain and in
struct them. It is hoped that they will
enjoy themselves after that hearty fashion
for which men of that vocation are

itself from a loug and dreamless slumber,

with which nature has blessed their en
vironment. We regret that the splendid

Two eminent members of the California
Democracy are engaged in a bitter contro
versy, which is both serious and lament
able. Congressman Maguire has preferred
charges with the Treasury Department at
Washington against John Daggett, Super
intendent of the San Francisco Mint, al
leging two wrongs: First, that Mr. Dag
gett has grossly neglected his duty; and,
second, that he organized a mining com
pany which has no standitig, and whose
shareholders are composed largely of the
employes of the Mint.
Mr. Daggett declares that these charges
are "lies," and that "they are absolutely
false in every particular and detail." He
not only courts but demands a "rigorous
investigation," and he wants it to be pub
lic. He asserts that "any one with half an
eye must see that an obvious animus lurks
in every line" of Mr. Maguire's charges,
and explains that '"it is a case of patronage
instead of principle." Mr. Maguire denies
this, alleging that he was not interested in
the patronage of the Mint, and that both
he and Senator White opposed Mr. Dag
eett's appointment, and that his conduct
has not been better than they expected.
Up to this point (the Treasury Depart
ment not having yet made an investiga
tion of the charges) the case rests upon the
comparative personal merits of the gentle
men themselves. Mr. Magulre makes the
dignified explanation that he cares noth
ing for Mr. Daggett one way or the other,
that in laying his charges with the Gov
ernment he was doing hia duty as a pub
lic officer, and that there he will let the
matter re3t, having shifted his responsi
bility on the Government. The charges
are easily susceptible of proof if they are
true and of disproof if they are untrue,
and as Mr. Maguire is an able lawyer and
knows the value of evidence, the duties of
the Superintendent and the serious conse
quences of the investigation both to him-
self and to Mr. Daggett, the present pre
sumption is that, even should his past
history warrant the belief, it is not likely
that he is moved by passion or a desire for
Assuming for the present that he is ac
tuated by the highest motives, his conduct
is a salient departure from the established
methods of Democratic politics in Califor
nia. At the same time, while he is exceed
ingly strong in the admiration of friends,
Mr. Daggett is not less so, and hence this
struggle must make a serious breach in the
ranks of the party. "It will be curious to
observe whether in the pending investiga
tion the party will prove itself able to be
governed solely by a sense of public right
and decency or whether the factions to
which this struggle will give rise will be
moved by considerations of expediency or
personal regard.
The violent attack of the Chicago Tribune
on the San Francisco Traffic Association,
charging that because Traffic Manager
Curtis of the association wrote urging an
Eastern connection of the Southern Pacific
to unite with the latter company in its
reduced schedule of freights between Cali
fornia and Utah point3 the associa
tion is the organ of the Southern
Pacific, is valuable only as showing
that Chicago is , alarmed over the
prospect of fair competition with San
Francisco," and that the intelligent efforts
of our merchants to secure a reasonable
snare of the Utah trade is expected to meet
with success. The Tribune's attack and
the alarm which it indicates will be re
garded by San Francisco merchants as ex
ceedingly encouraging, and as an incentive
to renewed efforts to accomplish their
Our merchants cannot realize too strongly
that when they enter the field as com
petitors with Chicago they are measuring
their strength with the ablost, shrewdest
and most successful men in the country.
We are handicapped by a number of ob
stacles. These are the greater volume of
Chicago's business, the resulting desire of
the lines between Utah and Chicago not to
antagonize it by showing favors to San
Francisco, and the existence of competing
lines between the two places. These have
been sufficient so far to overcome the ad
vantage which San Francisco enjoys on
the soore of being so much nearer to Utah.
It is difficult to see how the solution of
the problem can be accomplished, though
it is gratifying to know that the merchants
of San Francisco are working so earnestly
to that end. At present the reduced rates
of the Southern Pacific stop at Ogden, be
yond which that company cannot reach.
It would seem that the situation presents
a very strong inducement for the building
of a local railroad system in Utah, and
that our merchants could hardly do better
than foster such an enterprise. We may
be sure that if such a necessity were pre
sented to Chicago it would meet it at once.
Still another plan would be the throwing
of the Union Pacific into the hands of the
Government. This would open Salt Lake
and some minor towns to our trade. For
that matter the spanning of the short dis
tance separating Ogden and Salt Lake
Vould solve a large part of the problem.
Further, it is difficult to understand why
the Southern Pacific could not make a rate
from San Francisco to Ogden which would
counteract the higher rates from Ogden to
Salt Lake. The company's business, as
might have been expected, has greatly in
creased since it reduced its rates to Ogden
and thus made it possible for our mer
chants to compete with Chicago at that
point, and our business has increased
thereby and our merchants are greatly en
couraged. Why not extend the plan, with
an expectation of still greater benefits to
all concerned?
In one of our enterprising contempora
ries which not only prints verbatim re
ports of the Durrant trial but which (ills
the vacant intervals with sensational dis
cussions of the testimony and with grue
some foreshadowing of grisly possibilities,
we read the interesting account of a family
which has been dismembered by tnese pub
lications. The wife left her husband, and
this is the husband's explanation, as pub
lished by our enterprising contemporary :
"The Durrant case was one of the causes
that wrecked my home. She may say that
I treated her cruelly, but that is not true.
She wanted me to read the verbatim re
ports of the Durrant trial and 1 did so un
til life was not worth living, and then I
quit. Then she got angry^ In the morn
ing, at breakfast, I read the Durrant case.
When she went upstairs to make the beds
I followed and continued reading. She
swept the house and I followed, reading.
She prepared the luncheon and I stiil
stayed by her, reading the Durrant case.
I want to say that while I read that case
aloud my wife was perfectly hapoy. When
I stopped she was miserable."
Probably it was our contemporary's de
licious sense of humor that induced it to
publish this case of domestic rupture
alongside the cause that produced it. This
wife evidently belonged to the class of
women who haunt the courtroom. Being
denied that opportunity she did the next
best thing in transforming her husband
into the courtroom and ail its disagreeable
adjuncts. Although invested with a mar
velous patience the wretched man struck
at last — and lost his wife in consequence.
It was a choice between reading the ver
batim reports and giving her up, and he
gave her up. It was more than masculine
strength could bear to read the verbatim
reports of tht trial. The incident seems
to be instructive in that it establishes tbe
difference between the tastes of men and
some women and explains the publication
of verbatim reports.
The only persons who can read these in
terminable dull reports are those who
have both the leisure and the taste for the
occupation. The only ones who have the
time are those who are not concerned with
the serious affairs of life, and those who
have the taste would be judicious to con
ceal the fact. To publish such reports as
sumes the existence of a very large pro
portion of persons iu the community who
are of the kind to whom such reading is a
possibility and a pleasure. Thb Call
knows no reason for publishing that esti
mate of San Francisco's people. More
than that, it is aware that while the
preparation of a sharp, clearly told story
of the trial requires much more skill and
expense than a verbatim report, it is true
journalism and shows a better conception
of the character of the community.

AROUNfc THE CORRIDORS.
Fred Schumann, the well -known ranpre
owner and rifle shot, was in town yesterday
for a few hours.
"Did you ever hear the story of Tlmmany
and his turkeys?" he asked. No one had been
so fortunate, and Schumann proceeded.
"This man Timmany," he said, "is a small
rancher over in the country about San Rafael.
One day not very long ago Timmany happened
in to see me about a forthcoming contest in
which turkeys were to be given as prizes to
the most successful marksmen. The old fellow
confided to me that for some time he had
been raising turkeys' on his ranch, and he pro
posed to get up & match on his own account.
Now, Timmany is not very well up upon the
prowess of our San Francisco rifle-shots, and
this may excuse the absurdity of his plan. He
would have no firing at targets, but, for the
sake of novelty, he would tie a turkey to a
stake on the hillside, pace off 200 yards and
let the competitors blaze away.
" 'The plan might work,' said I to Timmanv,
'but how much will you Bell the entry tickets
" 'Two-bits apiece,' said he.
11 'But surely, Mr. Timmany,' I protested,
■you will not be so foolish as to sell your tur
keys for 25 cents each!'
"Timmany did not intend to do anything of
the kind, but he had a mistaken idea of the
slmrpshooting ability of our marksmen.
"Well, the day arrived, and, agreeably to my
promise, I brought customers to Timmany.
He trotted out his fifty or sixty turkeys and
offered tickets for sale. Captain Kuhls and
half a dozen other line shots were on hand. In
order to have a good joke on Timmany and
prevent him from refusing to sell more tickets
if we killed too many turkeys we each bought
$5 worth. Then "the shooting began. Kuhls
was up first and he missed the bird. Timmany
was delighted. Another man stepped to the
firing place. His shot brought the turkey
down. Another and another fired and half a
dozen turkeys were dead, while Timmany had
only realized a couple of dollars for the lot.
"The sport might have continued until every
bird fell, but something happened just at this
time. Mrs. Timmany, the wife of the sportive
rancher, arrived upon the scene. She sized up
the situation at a glance. It was a losing prop
osition and she simply wouldn't have it. She
gathered in the remaining turkeys, and, after
taking Mr. Timmany in charge, she set the pace
for home.
"She declined to receive our tickets and give
us our cash, so we had six turkeys and Tim
many had something like $30.
"Turkeys being worth about $2 apiece, on
whom was the joke?"
An Open Letter on the International
Monetary Question.
Mr. N. D. Hideout, as President of the State
Bankers' Association— Sir: The Sunday papers
issued October 6, 1895, contained a resolution
as emanating from the State Bankers' Associa
tion at its meeting at Fresno, passed on the
sth, yourself being its president, which reads
as follows:
Resolved, That this convention is unanimously
opposed to the free and unlimited coinage of silver
on a basis of 16 to 1 or any other ratio whereby the
material In a silver dollar will have lens com
mercial value than its gold brotber, but is in favor
of an international agreement to place stiver on a,
parity with gold.
This resolution comes as a challenge to the
sense and patriotism of every good citizen.
This sentence of fifty-eight commonplace
words, thus expressing the meaning of our
California bankers, will be analyzed as to the
principles enunciated.
In my opinion these are irrational in
economics, erroneous in legal significance and
dangerous in their ultimate effects. Let us,
using utmost brevity, candidly examine them
under the three heads of Economics, Law and
First— ln economics "use" is the sole test of
value for a thing. Its value is ordinarily
measured by the labor involved in its produc
tion. Therefore "use" and "labor" are the
factors that determine whether or not men
want a,given thing. Now, it is an undisputed
fact that a gold dollar costs more "labor" to
get than a paper dollar. As their uses, as
money, are identical in buying or debt-paying,
"labor" is the sole element that is to be con
sidered when choosing a material for a money.
But the whole effort of society, nay, of civiliza
tion, is to get certain results with the least ex
penditure of work.
Therefore to advocate the gold standard for
money, instead of adopting a paper currency,
Is to ask the Government to compel its citizens
to do a work a million times multiplied in ex
tent and one entirely unnecessary.
Second— According to the last case in the
United States Supreme Court, decided March,
I»B4— Julliard vs. Greenman— to make money
is a sovereign attribute of the Government.
For an individual to issue money is a crime,
and for a State to aim to run a mint is to pass a
law inhibited by the constitution. This power
over money is exclusively vested in Congress.
It can select any material for the currency and
then it can destroy its money function. This
is shown in the changes effected in our coin
age laws, many times in our history of a cen
Therefore to speak of "the material in a sil
ver dollar" having a commercial value, is to
ignore the law, which alone create* money.
It is not the "material" nor its "commercial
value ' that makes a dollar— this is the man
date of the law. It is an unpardonable sin for
a financier to bleud the "commercial value" of
a "material' ' selected for a currency and the
august majesty that springs from the command
of the astute. "Commercial value" arises
from the supply and demand of gold and silver
considered as metals. Monetary value arises
from the exercise of legislative power, granted
exclusively to Congress by the constitution. To
unite them in harmony is impossible—impossi
, t° «yen the magic of a bankers' organiza
tion. Tms resolution ignores a plain fact, fixed
id the adamant of our history. Tbere is the
same amount of silver, with the same degree
of fineness, in a silver dollar now as in the one
made under the old law repealed in 1873.
The truth is, the silver was then worth $1 02
in gold.
Now the same silver is worth about $0.68 in
Why? The "material" has not been changed.
The quantity is alike.
Why has the" difference comeT
No sophistry can conceal and no fabrication
can destroy the fact that the change in law— in
demonetizing silver— has reduced that metal
to a commodity and left gold a money. Let
gold lose its legal-tender quality, given by
Congress, and it would at once become a com
modity, subject to the fluctuations of trade.
Let silver be granted this debt-paying attribute
and its commercial value would cease and its
money character would have fixity and would
Recognizing two facts, that the stamp alone
makes money, and that the volume in use fixes
the purchasing power, It is to the interest of
the banks, as special privilege-holders, to con
ceal these principles. With bold hardihood
they make the effort in the face of law and fact.
In plain language, the endeavor must origin
ate in either willful ignorance or deliberate
deceit; for the truth shines like the sun to
every seeker.
In harmony with this policy of mystification
two main arguments are presented. They say
we need metal money for foreign trade. This
is a clear fallacy. Our statistics, partly fur
nished by the bankers, show that for the last
liscal year our foreign trade was about two
billions, but our domestic exchanges were
about five trillions. This is a ratio of 1 to
2500. In other words, we use $1 abroad and
$2500 at home in the United States.
For which should our Government provide,
the small or large demand?
The next stock argument is that with free
coinage we should oe flooded. There are about
three and a half billions of silver in the world.
Suppose It all came to tie United States for
coinage. It would make a per capita of $50.
Would that hurt anybody? Well, yes; it
might relieve from beggary and atarvation a
great famishing army of millions now seeking
and crying for work. But two-thirds of the
human race have silver and use it alone and
will not send it here, and if they did our peo
ple would find ready sale of their products for
it in exchange. Would that hurt the Cali
fornia farmer, whose products and lands have
fallen in twenty-five years to one-fourth of
their former values?
Third— The last charge is that of implied
treason, arising from an international agree
ment. What, sir, does this involve? All
statesmen and publicists admit the power to
make money is the one supreme attribute of a
national sovereignty, for money is the meas
ure of all values, including mental and physi
cal labor. Now, it is calmly proposed by you
to abdicate our own authority as to our own
people in home affairs p.nd turn it over to some
other person or nation owing us no loyalty
aye, even bitterly opposed to us— giving them
full command over the kind and quantity of
our money. This Nation is self-governing, em
bodying democracy. How, then, is it not
treason to let some one else govern us? Why
don't the nionometalUsts ask England her
opinion on our divorce laws, interrogate Ger
many on hog cholera and our corporation
morality, turn over to France the serious mat
ter of bloomers> invok'j Ireland's judgment for
our code of police ethics, demand that the
Pope shall give us an infallible tariff whereby
taxation of ourselves will enrich us ? Why
don't the barkers invite other nations to act
for us as to all our domestic concerns?
Don't they know;full well that there never has
been an international money, and that should
one be established then the whole internal
policy of our Nation would depend not on
our own will but on the consent of others, per
haps fully inimical to us?
This scheme for an international monetary
agreement is wrong in principle, lacks patriot
ism, is limp in power for self-preservation and
would end in Conferring absolute supremacy
on gold monometallism. If Americans desire
to retain their freedom then let them discard
the proposition of an international agreement
as the veiy quintessence ot wrong. For these
reasons it seems to me as an American citizen,
sir, your resolution is full of error and danger.

The Marlborough-Vandecbilt alliance, which
is apparently considered by the parties them
selves as much a matter of public concern as
the matrimonial bargainings of kings and
princesses across the water, causes some of the
newspapers to seriously consider the im-
Eortant question: "Shall our Girls have
cowries?" It 6eems to us that the question
might well be left to settle itself in individual
cases, according to the circumstances and de
sires of the parties in interest. There have
been a good many happy marriages in America
where the bride's only dowry was her good
health, her good looks, her good sense and her
devotion to the man of her choice.

Morally the bargaining of titles for wealth as
a basis for marriage, especially in a country
where titles have no place, is as repugnant as
any other sordid transaction can be. More
over, the importation of aristocratic customs
and the ostentation and elaborate ceremonies

The presence of a representative of royalty
at the wedding and the effort ot Germany's
Emperor to honor the bride shows how Europe
worships American money. Were the bride,
instead of an heiress, the daughter of some
high statesman or noted savant no such honor
would be extended to her. When General
Grant's daughter became the wife of an
Englishman royalty did not honor her, but the
millions of William H. Vandtrbilt secure tor
his child the recognition that was not extend
ed to Nellie Grant.

To the Editor of the San Francisco Call— Sir:
As you are aware, a very important meeting of
the Miners' Association will be opened in this
City to-day. The association is split into three
camps on the question of the preservation of
the mineral lands for prospectors and public
location according to the mineral laws.
The division is not as to the Importance of
preserving the rights of the miner. On that
we are all agreed. Every person who knows
anything of the difference between a mining
and agricultural patent knows well that deep
mining cannot be undertaken on an agricul
tural patent. So, if all the mineral lands are
patented as agricultural, that would kill the
mining interests of the State. A mineral loca
tion enables the miner to follow the vein on
the pitch to the center of the earth— it does not
matter whose agricultural land it goes under;
but an agricultural patent prevents the follow
ing of a lode outside of the vertical boundary.
Hence the importance of preserving the right
to m ; eral location wherever minerals exist.
Another great difficulty meets us in the selec
tion of mineral from agricultural land. The
mining laws define a mineral location to be an
area through which are found minerals which
will pay to work.
Sometimes rock in place will show such
value, but in nine cases out of ten no Buch
value is shown on the surface, and therefore
it is only by prospecting and developing that
we can make sure of value.
Even in the case 01 gravel mines, although
there may be immense wealth lying under the
lava-capped channel?, no engineer can say for
a certainty that it will pay to work. As a case
in point, I am associated with Home English
capitalists in opening an extensive and well
defined channel in Sierra County, which has
yielded something like $20,000,000 where it
was worked three miles up stream from our
property. We were required to raise $10,000
to complete a shaft we were sinking, and J.
Roes Browne was engaged to report on* the
property. He reported that there was certainly
a well-defined channel running one and a half
miles through the property, but, as we had not
reached bedrock with the shaft, he could not
say whether it had any value or not. The
foreign capitalists, taking that as a hint that
there Is no value in the property, have conse
quently refused to proceed with the shaft,
although we have only 120 feet more to sink
to bedrock. Now, how is it possible to prove
values in such cases?
I have said the miners are divided in their
ideas as to the best way of preventing true
mineral land from being patented by the rail
road grant or by any other parties as agricul
tural land.
One camp calls the railroad company an octo
pus. Another camp says: "No ; we do not blame
the railroads; they have their rights as well as
the miners," and argues that the most sensi
ble way is to join with the railroads and have
the matter fairly determined bv experts ap
pointed by both parties. But as the railroad
wishes to make it binding on both parties to
accept the decision of the experts or their um
pire as final the first camp says, "No; we see
in this the cloven foot and are therefore op
posed to any binding agreement."
Then the people in the third camp do not see
why the railroad should be consulted by the
miners in the matter, as the United States
laws clearly state that mineral land cannot be
legally patented as agricultural, and all the
Miners' Association may be expected to do is
to get the General Government to have the
said grant properly exoerted by its own ex
perti. But here again the legal definition of
mineral, as that which has value, comes in the
way; so you see it is not without reason that
the miners, although agreeing to a man on the
general principle that mineral land should be
reserved for miners' locations and patents, yet
disagree as to the best way to accomplish the
object in view.
A most unfoitunate fact is that the associa
tion is short of funds to enable it to do any
thing, which is interpreted by many to mean
that the officials have not t£e confidence of the
association. I don't think that it is want of
confidence which freezes the exchequer.
The fact is, it is the methods not the men
that are at fault. Mr. Nefl, like Washington,
was an ideal choice for first president, but it is
necessary to tne well being of the association
that he should not. monopolize the situation.
Mr. Ralston as secretary was a wise choice, and
as that office should, if possible, be a perma
nency, no betterfman can be found in thi*;city
to act as permanent secretary. The other of
fices should be subject to change, and to keep
down jealousy those persons have no more
right to a third term than Washington or
Grant had. The selection of president is an
important one and 1 would be in favor of either
Mr. Valentine of Wells-Fargo, Mr. Hellman of
the Nevada Bank or Mr. Lillienthal of the
Anglo-California as the next president.
With a permanent secretary either of such
men would prove of more value to the miners
than any directly interested mining man in
this State. In mentioning names I only do so
to indicate the class of men from which a se
lection should be made. There is no doubt
that with proper methods the association could
be made one of the most influential in the
country. And then there would be no need to
keep an octopus in the closet to scare the
babies. A Mining Delegate.

To the Editor of the San^Francisco Call— Sir:
Now is the countryman's opportunity. Mr.
Dockery, the new milk inspector, has detected
fourteen milkmen selling adulterated, impure
milk. As Mr. Dockery receives no salary, he
is either doing his duty from a conscientious
desire to right a wrong or from a desire to be
bought off. I sincerely hope and believe he is
acting from the higher and purer motives. The
fact remains that now is the time for the bay
counties to get their milk into San Francisco
fresh from the green Hillsides of Alameda,
Contra Costa, Sonoma and last, but not least
Marin. The congested state of the butter mar
ket would be at once relieved by the with
drawal of large numbers of cows from butter
The country along the sides of the North Pa
cific Railroad via Tiburon on into Sonoma and
via North Pacific Coast Railroad into the green
hills of Marin would grow apace.
More commodious homes would be built •
greater acres of farm land would be broken up
and tilled. Perhaps silos filled with ensilaee
(green fodder) for winter feed would be found
adjacent to the well-filled barns. The railroads
would carry back to the country vast quanti
ties of bran and ground feed to keep up the
flow of milk for the healthful supply of the
great City.
The want of reciprocity between the City and
the country is the cause to which is attributa
ble much of our hard times. The lowing herds
are only found on grassy hillsides or in the
moiat succulent vecetation of marshy mead
ows. Bellowing herds, disconsolate cows are
those found in the dark inclosures of the pur
lieus of the town. Distillery, slop fed kine,
they stand disconsolate longing for their couir
try homes.

•In Epitome of Sermons of the Week
Beyond the Rockies.
Following is a mmmary of the principal ser
mons recently delivered in the United States
and Canada by the leading, clergymen, priests,
prelates, religious teachers and professors of
the Christian fnith. In every Instance the full
text has been carefully read and abbreviated.
Heaven, in the Bible, is used in more than
one sense. We read of the fm\ !- of the heaven,
meaning the atmo-sphere; read of the lights of
heaven, the stars of heaven, moaning the
firmament. The third heaven of the Scrip
tures is heaven in its sublimest senst — it is
where God dwells. It is somewhere beyond
this material universe; it is a place v. here liod
dwells in his infinite and mighty personality ;
it is where the Batata will have their eternal
home; where they will sing forever the songs
of the redeemed.— Rev. M. Curnick, Methodist,
Row ell, Si ass.
The woman that has no higher ambition than
simply to be dragged up into society is, indeed,
a most pitiable creature. What you want,
young man, in a wife is not a toy to play with,
a doll to be dressed, an ornament to be ex
hibited, but a helpmate, not simply a help eat.
Many women to-day, who were reared in the
kitchen, so to say, vainly imagine that they
make fine parlor ornaments. They have
an idea that they were made to be looked at,
and often they are too lazy to do anything
else.— Rev. Morgan A. i'eters, Reformed Chun. a,
York, Fa.
The platform of this church is neither Re
publican nor Democratic, but it must stand for
good government and principle regardless of
party. Its voice shall be heard in no unmis
takable sound for the truth and right, for God
and humanity. Platforms are made to etand
upon. Every plank in a political platform
should be nailed down by wise and nonest men
and find Us solidity in its righteousness. May
the day soon dawn when men shall stand upon
a platform when they stand by the ballot-box,
instead of walking over the ricketv, rotten old
floor of a party.— Rev. Cortlandt Myers, Bap
tist, Brookfrn, N. Y.
The law closing saloons on Sunday is no
hardship on any one, except saloon-keepers
and drunkards. The State of New York will
never pass a law providing for Sunday liquor
selling. The Republicans are "ot going to
open the saloons on Sunday, iu their plat
form the Republicans have declared that they
would not pass a law opening the saloon on
Sunday, and all honor be to the Republican
party for its action iu this regard. ♦
The Democratic party will promise to do any
thing, but it doesn't dare pass a law for Sunday
opening— it doesn't dare go against the Cath
olic churches in that regard.— Rev. Thomas
Dixon Jr., New York City.
The one thing about music is its harmony,
the blending of melodious tones in one har
monious whole, the bringing of its tones under
the natural law. We are born for concord and
for peace, to live, not in discord, but in perfect
harmony. Before the sweet strains of Handel
and Haydn were given to the world they were
ih their souls. You often hear it said that
some men do not have an ear for music, but
there are few who can listen to the real music
that comes from the soul of genius without be
ing moved. The single strain of an Easter an
them ha« saved a man from suicide. — Rev. R.
P. Hoi way, Episcopalian, Worcester, Mass.
It is as natural for a healthy child to dance
as it is for a lamb to frolic in the fields. It is
the natural expression of the joy and gladness
of life. Every nation, every people had its own
native dances. Dancing entered into the re
ligious worship of ancient Hebrews, as well as
other nations. There were pure dances and
impure dances accordingly as the worship was
pure and impure. Our modern dance is the
social dance of our ancestors; the dance on the
village green or in the woodland glades. It is
a social festivity, and within proper limits it
is perfectly unobjectionable. It is only objec
tionable as it is abused, and this is true of all
good things. — Rev. Dr. Brundage, Albany, X. Y.
Infidels sometimes say that the milk of. hu
man kindness runs through their veins, but
no college has ever received an endowment
from an inlidel, for Girarr 1 . was not an infidel,
and, although he prohibited the entrance of
preachers ot the gost>el into the college which
he endowed, he desired the trustees of the col
lege to have the students instructed from the
best books of morals. The trustees unani
mously decided upon the Bible as being the
best book of morals and it is used in the col
lege. The Bible was not mentioned in the
will of Girard. So hospital, infant asylum or
other charitable institution was ever endowed
by an intide), but churches of all denomina
tions have these institutions and care -for
them. — Rev. L. S. Roder, Methodist, Jackson
ville, Fla.
The New York divine who has become so
conspicuous throughout the world for the
heroism of his efforts to release the grasp of
the Tammany sachem undertook his wort in
precisely the spirit which animated David
against Goliath. He saw in the great giant a
representative of evil and believed in the pos
sible supremacy of virtue, and he recognized in
the defiant challenge, "What are you going to
do about it?" a challenge not only to the well
meaning people of New Y'ork, but he recoz
nized that the truth was challenged, nay, that
the Jehovah himself was challenged, and sub
missive agents, yielding themselves to the
Lord's command, might, with even so simple a
weapon as a paper ballot, fling defiance to the
foe and cause a stampede among the host-; who
had been following their champion.— Rev. A.
Z, Conrad, Worcester, Mass.
There is an apparent lack of American inde
pendence. We submit to things that our
fathers would have scorned to endure. For
eigners control our monetary existence. Our
fathers in the day of the Revolution, bare
footed and barebacked, defied all the powers of
Europe and dictated their own financial policy.
They were thereby enabled to establish a gov
ernment of the people, the credit of which was
as good as the credit of any nation in the
world— as good as specie. Now we are 70,
--000,000 strong. The country is girdled with
steel and bounded with cable lines, so that
every pulsation of sentiment is known and
felt from one end of the countrv to the other.
Our country is the grandest country God has
ever given to any people, and yet we, the
American people, sit supinely by and suffer
our financial policy to be mapped out and con
trolled by foreigners and disbelievers. — Rev. H.
S. SVilliams, Presbyterian, Memphis, Tenn.
Premium on Dollars— City. Had you read
the answer given to a previous correspondent
who inquired about dollars of 1884 you would
have noticed that It.was stated that "dealers
quote them at from $1 50 to $2 25." In other
words, dealers selling old coins to collectors
charge the prices mentioned for the dollars of
that date, but the answer did not state that
dealers paid these prices for them.

pursued in the evening schools of this City are

by those who have made it a study that by the
friction of the wing covers against each other

NVTC Foundation Awards Four Scholarships to IT&E Students
Posted: October 24, 2002 at 1:00 am, Last Updated: November 30, -0001 at 12:00 am
By Robin Herron
The Northern Virginia Technology Council (NVTC) Foundation has awarded the largest number of scholarships in one year to four School of Information Technology and Engineering (IT&E) students. The scholarships, covering tuition in full, went to two seniors and two juniors, three of them women.
The NVTC Foundation-Daniel R. Bannister Scholarship Endowment was established in 1997 for juniors and seniors majoring in studies offered by IT&E who have a GPA of 3.000 or above and strong community involvement. The scholarships honor Bannister, former chairman of NVTC and currently chairman of DynCorp, based in Reston, Va. He is also chair of the NVTC Foundation and a former George Mason University Foundation trustee.
"It is vital that we continue to support scholarships like this one and others at GMU to ensure that Northern Virginia remains the leader in technology," Bannister says. Donations by Bannister, DynCorp, and other individuals and organizations as well as proceeds from NVTC fundraisers increased the scholarship endowment this year.
"Attracting and recognizing high-quality students is a top priority for our school. The Bannister scholars are exactly the type of students who can make a real difference to us, and I am very pleased that the NVTC Foundation has provided us with this excellent scholarship program," Lloyd Griffiths, dean of IT&E, says.
Seniors Shannon Wagner and Abe Klinger, and juniors Courtney Lake and Alicia Torkelson received scholarships. The students also will receive guidance and leadership from mentors in their fields to help prepare for careers after graduation.

MIDDLESBROUGH boss Aitor Karanka was bursting with pride after watching his side push Liverpool all the way to an epic penalty shoot-out at Anfield last night.
The Capital One Cup clash was tied at 1-1 after 90 minutes, and 2-2 after extra-time, before Liverpool finally triumphed 14-13 on penalties.
"These are the kind of games where you have to be very proud of your players, your group, your club, everything," Karanka said.
"I think we have shown everybody what kind of club Middlesbrough are.
"I don't have many words to explain my feelings right now.
"We have played against a Champions League team at Anfield and you know how difficult this is for us – and we have played face to face against them.
"Although we have lost, our players should enjoy this."
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers felt his side had shown great resilience to finally emerge triumphant.
"It was a real good night for us," he said.
"I was obviously pleased to get through, and that experience, even though it was a long night for everyone, was great for our young players.
"It is good to win no matter how you do it. We played okay in the game and didn't create a great deal to be honest, but we showed good perseverance to keep going.
"As it is at the moment, we made too many mistakes and got punished for that in the game.
"But the players showed great resilience and mentality to keep going and at the end, when it was needed, they showed wonderful composure – some of our young players stepping up to take the penalties."
Teenage debutant Jordan Rossiter put the Reds in front after just 10 minutes, despatching a low finish from outside the box, but Boro grew into the game and equalised through Adam Reach's 62nd-minute header.
Home goalkeeper Simon Mignolet was forced into some smart saves and the Teessiders almost snatched victory when Adam Clayton hit the post in the 85th minute.
Having survived that scare, Brendan Rodgers' side regained the lead in the 109th minute through a strike from Suso, only for fellow substitute Patrick Bamford to win and convert a penalty in stoppage time to make it 2-2.
In the shoot-out that followed, Bamford saw his effort saved early on before Raheem Sterling did likewise and things moved into sudden-death.
Remarkably, nobody then missed until the 30th attempt, which Boro's Albert Adomah put wide, sealing Liverpool's victory.
It all added up to another unconvincing display by the hosts in a campaign in which they have lost three of their opening five Barclays Premier League games.
But at least it means they have returned to winning ways ahead of Saturday's Merseyside derby against Everton at this ground.
