Abdulfattah Jandali cared nothing for the son born to him and his American girl friend, Joanne Schieble. Joanne was left with the decision of what to do with an unplanned pregnancy and an unwanted child.
Marriage at the time was out. Jandali, from Syria, was attending graduate school at the University of Wisconsin. Joanne's father strongly objected to her dating someone outside of the Christian faith. He further threatened to disown her if she married him. Joanne didn't heed her parents concerns and now found herself with a child from a man who didn't share her spiritual convictions, she couldn't marry, and who didn't care about the child, anyway. What was she to do?
An abortion was not an option for Joanne. Her Catholic upbringing outside of Green Bay, Wisconsin instilled a strong pro-life ethic in her. But, as a single woman with no immediate prospects for marriage, and with a father who was on his death bed and would not be around to help her, Joanne knew her options were limited. So, she put her child up for adoption.
A World War 2 vet named Paul and his wife Clara were the lucky couple privileged to adopt the new baby, which they named Steve. Paul and Clara did their best to provide their son with the best they had to offer. They were open with Steve about his adoption, and never discouraged him from seeking out his biological parents should ever want to know about them. But, Steve was content with his adopted parents and showed little interest in tracking down the man and woman who conceived him. In fact, he didn't like having Paul and Clara referred to as his adopted parents; they were his parents, period.
Steve was extremely talented and smart, so much so that his teachers had a hard time keeping him occupied in school. Steve was able to do his work and still have ample time for pranks, like the time he and his buddies posted signs around school announcing the next day as "Bring Your Pets Day." When dogs started chasing cats around the hallway, school officials did not see much humor in Steve's prank. Another time he convinced a bunch of classmates to give him the number to the padlocks on their bicycles. He then switched all the locks on the bicycles. At the end of the school day there was pandemonium when many of the kids could not get home.
Steve graduated high school and went to college, but dropped out. He was looking for an outlet to develop his creative side. He found it in electronics. With a couple of friends he started a business that went on to become quite successful. In fact, by the time he was only 25 years old, this college drop out was worth 100 million dollars.
Perhaps it was inevitable, but in time Steve did begin wonder about his birth parents. He tracked his birth mother down but did not initiate contact with her for fear of offending his parents. But, when his mom, Clara, died in 1986, Steve thought the timing might be right. He talked to his dad, Paul, and Paul said he had no problems with it at all.
So, in 1986, thirty-one year old Steve called Joanne who was now living not far from him in California, and said, "Hello, this is your son." Joanne met with her son and apologized profusely for giving him up for adoption. "I had no choice. I was pressured into it. And I have wondered and worried about you ever since," she said.
"It's ok," Steve assured her. I've had a good life. Things have turned out well." Later Steve said, "I wanted to meet my biological mother mostly to see if she was okay and to thank her, because I'm glad I didn't end up as an abortion." And we can all be glad of that, because every baby, whether planned by us or not, is a child of God.
Also because, the young man who visited Joanne that day to thank her for the gift of life happened to be the developer of the Macintosh computer, the iPhone, iPad and iPod. For the Steve that was given up by Jandali and Joanne and was adopted by Paul and Clara was none other than, Steve Jobs. Thank you for the gift of life, indeed, since all life is granted by God's grace and power. (Information about Steve Jobs in this article is from the book, Steve Jobs, by Walter Isaacson).

With the vote Tuesday night, it wont be long before North Augustans will have the option of purchasing alcoholic beverages on Sunday.
City voters cast their ballots more than 2 to 1 in favor of a local question regarding the on-premise and off-premise sale of alcoholic beverages on Sunday.
Preliminary results show nearly 70 percent were in favor or the sale of alcoholic beverages on Sunday in North Augusta. The tally was 4,609 in favor and 2,103 opposed.
With an affirmative decision, restaurants will be able to apply for a liquor license good for Sundays and can begin serving alcoholic drinks possibly within the next week or so. City Administrator Todd Glover said he had been in conversation with City Attorney Kelly Zier, and they thought the City could begin taking applications for Sunday sales immediately, once the vote is certified. Glover said Zier was checking on whether the City Council has to do anything official before beginning to issue the Sunday liquor licenses, but we dont think so, said Glover.
The affirmative vote will also allow convenience stores and grocery stores to sell wine and beer on Sundays with a temporary license (but not liquor, which is regulated in state-approved venues and cannot be sold on Sunday, by state law).
The City Administrator said vendors can purchase a temporary alcohol license by the week or pay for a year at a time. Oddly enough, he said, the price for an individual (weekly) license, when multiplied by 52 is less than the cost of a license for the whole year.
Referring to the view many have suggested that North Augusta will not get high-end restaurants interested in locating in the City without the option of Sunday sales, Mayor Lark Jones said, I hope this removes what is seen as an impediment. Not surprised by the vote, Jones opined, I dont think it will dramatically change things in North Augusta. He noted that with the current economy, Ive not had any restaurants come to me and say that (not having alcohol on Sunday) is the problem.
Jones also suggested that North Augustans arent big alcohol consumers so he wasnt sure what impact the vote will have on the local economy either. But, he concluded, if the option of alcohol on Sunday gets restaurants to take a second look at North Augusta, we need more restaurants, and we can show them that business can be had here.
The local question was put forward by the North Augusta Chamber of Commerce and by the North Augusta 2000 community foundation. Officials for both organizations had suggested the No. 1 desire mentioned by local residents for an improved quality of life was more high-end restaurants. And both groups saw Sunday alcohol sales as a potential aid in getting those restaurants to consider North Augusta.
Irregularities in balloting discovered during the day raised some concerns when numerous voters who are City residents were given the wrong ballots and denied a chance to vote on the local question regarding alcohol sales. Glover had commented that if the vote on Sunday sales had been close either way that could have been a problem. With the 70-30 margin of vote on the local question, he felt the outcome likely was not affected by the problems.

When the marquee light dimmed at the Wheaton Montgomery Royal Theatre in September, there was more behind the closing than slow business. Owner Sunil Maximus Martinus said that erroneous $123,000 electric bills from Pepco played a major role.
On April 12, 2011, Montgomery Royal Theatres Inc. filed a complaint with the Maryland Public Service Commission, writing that Pepco had sent it an incorrect bill and had admitted to using the wrong location and meter number in issuing the theater's bill.
Pepco had sent the company a bill for $123,342.56 on June 7, 2010, according to the formal complaint. Lawyers representing the theater wrote they believed the errors were "either an outright mistake, or that my client is actually being charged for the power service for the previous customer, namely Draft House Cinemas," which formerly ran the theater.
Pepco determined during the settlement process that the correct amount was $87,323.72 for the period from Jan. 5, 2009, to Oct. 30, 2012, which the theater disputed, according to the settlement between the companies. The final agreed upon amount was $48,000, to be paid in installments of $1,000 per month for 48 months.
In response to requests for comment, Pepco representatives said that privacy regulations prohibit the company from discussing customer accounts.
Although the bill was significantly reduced, Martinus said that two-and-a-half years fighting Pepco on the bill had racked up lawyer fees. He said he could no longer afford to run the business between the cost of the lawyer, the payments agreed upon in the settlement and the ongoing costs of operation.
Martinus also attributed a heart attack to the stress of settling the bill, which came with a bill of its own, from the hospital.
The lawyer, Stuart Lipshutz of Blank & Moorstein, could not be reached for comment.
The theater has had a lot of turnover in ownership in recent years. Before Martinus began leasing the space about four years ago, Draft House Cinemas had operated it for several months in 2008. Martinus worked for both P&G Wheaton Theatre Corp, and Draft House Cinemas, both of which leased the space from Westfield before Martinus.
Ken Buckner, marketing director for Westfield Wheaton mall, where the theater is, said the mall has been in discussions with larger theater operators who may take over the space. Many small theater operators are struggling with a switch by the film industry to digital projection from 35 mm film — a large expense that may leave many small companies behind, he said.
Martinus said that the new format was not a factor in closing his business. The industry-mandated change takes effect at the end of 2013, he said.

Rated 4 out of 5Â by krl Pretty Cute This dress was a little different than I expected. It is loose up top, which I guess goes along with how it looks on the model, I just didn't expect it I guess. It is also shorter in the back than in front, so try not to bend over in it! On me the waist is higher than it looks on the model, this is probably because I'm busty, but if I could change one thing I would want the ties to hit at my natural waist rather than at my ribcage. I think it will grow on me, though, and I will be keeping it. 3.5.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by gnomelover Okay I wanted to really like this, but I just thought it was okay. I bought the cranberry color. The material is just too thin and it was too casual looking for my taste. I wear a medium and bought the medium. I feel the fit was good. I would definitely buy this on sale. I just do not think this is worth $80. I also found it had static cling, which this mom of two, does not want. I am taking this back on Saturday. 1.16.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by lavenderninja Awesome Dress This is such a cute top/dress. I bought the gray combo and it like a lavender gray shade. It definitely is meant to fit loosely but the side ties are great because you can self adjust to your liking. It's accentuates those who are are very slim and also looks great on those who are curvy. At first I didn't think I could wear it as a dress because I'm tall and these shirt dresses usually are super short but it's actually a good length. Great with leggings on a casual day! I love it! If you're curvaceous, size up and use the side ties. If you're slim, size down. Sizing Info: I'm 5'7 and 125lbs. A XS worked best for me (I tried the S and its way too big even when using the side ties) 1.10.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by ShopChic Cute but thin I like the tunic and the colors but it is a thin fabric. Where I live the static electricity is awful right now so this dress sticks to everything. I will probably have to wait until Spring to wear it. 1.8.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by brooklynk Not bad I really wanted to LOVE this dress but instead just like it. My frame is not very curvy at all and Im tall so it makes casual dresses that flatter a little bit of a challenge. This dress is great for that because it is adjustable and can really be cinched up. No need for a belt! I love the neckline and the nod to a baseball T is super cute. my only complaint was that it seemed to attract any kind of lint or fuzz that came near it. As the day wore on I had to roll it numerous times. My hope is that as its washed more and more that that will change. Oh- and I ordered the x-small (which is my usual size in dresses for FP) and the fit was fine :) 12.24.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Mairghread Love this Dress! I'm 5'10" 37-29-40 I got the red colour in a size small. I am generally a size med in free people, but I have a very small waist and when tops are not fitted to it, I can look a bit larger. I was worried the arms would be too tight but they are not tight or short, though they do look a bit better pushed up as the model has done. The shoulders have a bit of a batwing effect going on from the waist ties up is quite flowing and open. It is soft and will be a great way to look a little nicer than jeans and a sweater in the winter months, paired with some leggings and boots. It runs pretty regular in length, I'm very tall and it at least requires tights if not leggings on me. It's a bit pricey, even on sale, but it seems like good quality and the material is fairly thin so it should work for 3 seasons to get my moneys worth. I recommend! 12.19.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Austinite Comfy + Cute I bought the black and lilac combo and really like it! It's super versatile as it can be worn with leggings, skinny jeans, shorts or, under some circumstances, a dress. It fits true to size and has a lot of give with the adjustable ribbons on e side. This is a keeper! 12.8.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by FP1FAN What I expected and even better I love wearing leggings in the winter and when I saw this dress, I thought it was perfect and I was right! It is long enough to cover my backside and more figure flattering than most things (like boxy sweaters) that do. I ordered a small in the black and violet and LOVE it! So happy I ordered it in both colors! This can be dressed up too with the right accessories and I am in love! I am 5'6'' and 130lbs, 34 B and ordered the Small and it is perfect. I am very happy with this purchase. 11.17.2012

UFC boss: Anderson Silva could fight again before end of 2014
Following Saturdays nights UFC 170 event in Las Vegas, White told a small group of reporters that Silvas attending doctor updated him on the former middleweight champions status and said the progress is incredible.
He said, This is actually crazy; look at all the bone growth that he has in eight weeks, White said. He said sometimes you dont see that kind of bone growth in people over a couple of years. Pretty crazy.
Silva (33-6 MMA, 17-2 UFC), of course, suffered a brutal leg fracture in his UFC 168 loss to current champ Chris Weidman, but the Brazilian striker has vowed a successful return to the octagon following the insertion of a titanium rod into the injured limb. The all-time great has kept fans abreast of progress, posting photos and videos of his recovery, including a recent scene in which he walked without the use of crutches.
White said Silvas doctor believes the champ could very well shock the world with his recovery time.
He said that he could fight by the end of the year, White said.
White said he and UFC co-owner Lorenzo Fertitta are scheduled to meet with Silva at his Los Angeles home on Wednesday.

Dont think Raggedy Ann. Think Katniss.
Ever since the brave archer ruled The Hunger Games, braids have been getting more sophisticated treatments.
Jennifer Hudson and Allison Williams wore them during fashion week, and theyve been seen on everyone from Rihanna to Scarlett Johansson.
And todays most illustrious fashion icon, Kate Middleton, wore a braided updo to an Olympics concert this summer.
Doreen Guarneri, owner of The Look Salon in Greenlawn, N.Y., has taken to the trend in a big way.
The stylist, who worked the JSong show at Fashion Week, said people are wearing their hair longer so braids offer style options other than hot rollers and curling irons.
She offers an arsenal of braid designs, like the waterfall, the fishbone or the bungee, to name a few.
Not only are they versatile, theyre easy to do yourself once you master the technique, says Guarneri. Plus, they have another benefit, she said the waves you get when you take out the braids. When you release them, youve got a whole new style.
Not that the Today shows Natalie Morales was looking haggard or anything, but her perky new bangs seem to have taken off a lot of years.
As for Morales, she writes on the shows website that she wasnt prepared for the reaction she got at home her 4-year-old son asked her to put my hair back.
Oh, well, Morales said shes happy and that change is good. And she has plenty of company.
Rachel Zoe has some new brow-length fringe, and Carly Rae Jepsen and Taylor Swift also are fans.
For a more daring look, try the mid-forehead short bangs of someone like Rooney Mara.
If your hair is long enough, you know the joys of whipping it up into a quick bun.
But thanks to the Olympics gymnasts, the show Bunheads and a lot of sleek red carpet looks, the style is getting a little more attention.
Gabby Douglas and other gymnasts left their buns a little undone, with tufts of hair escaping the topknot. Gwyneth Paltrow also has gone that direction.
In recent weeks, we saw sleek buns at Christian Sirianos ballet-themed show and a tousled bun on Kate Hudson at the Glee premiere.
Tallest bun award goes to Kelly Osbourne, who turned hers into a virtual tower for the recent Marc Jacobs show.

Hi all,
I'm new to this forum and wanted to see if there's any current activity of NYC-area members. I'm in Brooklyn and TTC with my second after a severe case of HELLP in December 2003. My daughter, Grace Ayodele, was born on December 12th at barely 24 weeks gestation. She lived for 4 days. Now that my husband and I are TTC our second, I'm especially interested to hear what doctors/hospitals other NYC-area women have used. I'm currently affiliated with a Manhattan-based MFM though I'm considering affiliating with one in Brooklyn because he's a good deal closer. I'm wondering if others have chosen a hospital/doctor based on proximity to home and what other decisions you may have made to support subesquent pregnancies. I'll look forward to hearing from some of you!

Visit Xavier
The college search process can be daunting. One of the best ways to determine if a school is the one for you is to visit the campus.

In his fight for re-election this fall, President Barack Obama will have support from the unlikeliest of quarters: Karl Rove, former top aide to George W. Bush.
Writing on the op-ed page of The Wall Street Journal today, Rove, normally a staunch partisan and Republican loyalist, declared, "Mr. Obama deserves re-election for restoring America to prosperity after a recession." Further enumerating his accomplishments, Rove added, "Mr. Obama ended the Iraq War and…Osama bin Laden was killed on his watch."
It was the surprise of the political season, but maybe it shouldn't have been. While it took until now for him to issue a full endorsement, Rove has for months been using the Journal's op-ed page to signal his approval for the president. Just last week, in fact, he praised Obama's work ethic, writing, "He is working a lot harder than he thought he would."
In February, he lauded the president's motives in establishing a new agency, saying, "Mr. Obama set up a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in 2010 to make sure people are treated fairly."
And last September, Rove explicitly accused his own political allies of doing voters a disservice by opposing Obama, writing, "[H]is Republican opposition puts party ahead of country."
If there's a reason those comments didn't cause more of a ripple when he made them, perhaps it's because he didn't actually say any of these things.
That is, he did write the words I attribute to him, but in a completely different context that changes the meaning to the point where, by removing that context, I've inverted his sentiments by 180 degrees.
My inspiration for doing so was Rove himself. In today's WSJ op-ed, he used the same clever trick to make it look as though Bill Clinton was belittling Obama's role in killing Bin Laden when in fact he was saluting it, as Greg Sargent points out in the Washington Post.
Here's what Rove wrote, referring to a new film put out by the Obama campaign:
As for the killing of Osama bin Laden, Mr. Obama did what virtually any commander in chief would have done in the same situation. Even President Bill Clinton says in the film "that's the call I would have made."
And here, as Sargeant notes, is what Clinton is actually quoted saying in the film (emphasis mine).
"He took the harder and the more honorable path. When I saw what had happened, I thought to myself, 'I hope that's the call I would have made.'"
See what he did there? See how, by taking out "I hope," he turned it from a big-up to a put-down? Clever, right?
It's so clever, in fact, that I suspect the Journal may want to issue a correction — just, you know, to let readers in on the joke. I emailed the paper's editorial page editor, Paul Gigot, and its editorial features editor, Robert Pollock, to see if they have anything like that in mind. I'll let you know if I hear back from them. [Update: A Journal spokeswoman says the paper declines comment. Update 2: An "editor's note" has been added to the column. It reads: "An earlier version of this column included an incomplete quote from Bill Clinton in the last paragraph." The quote has been restored as well.]
Meantime, here are the fuller and thus more boring versions of the Karl Rove quotes above.

The 20-year-old is rated very highly within the corridors of power at Old Trafford, which is why Sir Alex Ferguson has resisted the temptation to send him out so far this season.
He spent time with Peterborough United last season, where he impressed, but he was brought back over the summer and has been a constant member of the first-team squad.
However, with chances limited, United are now ready to agree to an 'emergency loan' to a Championship side which will see him gain further first-team experience.

Just when you think you've seen it all in processed food—remember when ad execs thought blue French fries and green ketchup would appeal to kids?—comes another mind-boggler. I refer, of course, to…. caffeinated Cracker Jacks.
World, meet Cracker Jack'd.
Now, really. If you're so exhausted you must ingest caffeine via candy, just lie down and tap yourself in the head with a hammer until you faint. Same result, and you save two bucks. You're welcome!
But I digress. Frito-Lay is trying to reinvent the wheel, which in this case is 105 years old and still yummy. But here's the rub: Young people don't eat Cracker Jacks because they aren't "relevant," which translates to: Nobody under 40 is familiar with Take Me Out to the Ballgame: "Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jacks/I don't care if I ever get back." (There are numerous versions on YouTube, including performances by Harry Caray and Barney. Yes. Barney.)
Kids today "want more intense flavors and a wider variety of textures," a Frito-Lay spokesman said. Well, if sweet, crunchy caramel popcorn plus candied peanuts don't do it for you, fine. Come back in 30 years and nostalgia will taste pretty darn good.
All of this is sounding way more fuddy-duddy than I actually am. I drink smart water with antioxidants and eat coconut-infused almonds. I'm hip to new food. But I do think if you're going to fool with a successful formula, maybe you should first talk to the people who came up with New Coke. They might have some wisdom to impart.
I have nothing against progress. Without it we wouldn't have Tofurkey or jalapeno chocolate bars. But I didn't see this one coming. It feels like the first time I walked into a gas station and saw chicken-and-waffles potato chips. Yes, chips made to taste like chicken and waffles. Then again British shops have sold lamb-flavored chips ("crisps") forever, so maybe we're just behind the times.
Back to Cracker Jack'd, which will come in three different varieties. The Hearty Mix flavors come in PB & Chocolate and Berry Yogurt, because who doesn't want their candied popcorn to taste like thick, tart yogurt?
There's also Buffalo Ranch, Spicy Pizzeria and Sweet 'n Savory Clusters, which is a salted caramel flavor. (I don't eat salt or caramel and cannot comprehend why this combo is so wildly popular.)
Then there are the Power Bites Cracker Jack'd. A box contains about two tablespoons of ground coffee. Like a stalking horse in politics, the Frito-Lay folks are using it to gauge the interest of a niche, coffee-drinker market. (Next up, a new Starbucks flavor!)
Cracker Jack'd, sadly, won't come with any prizes. I think they should put an iPod Shuffle in, say, every 95th box. They'd fly off the shelves.
But wait—there is a glimmer of hope for Cracker Jacks traditionalists. The original brand isn't being totally left behind, but it is being revamped. (Insert groan here.)
Market research showed that folks who do eat Cracker Jacks want more peanuts, and they're getting 'em. Plus, the prize inside will now be… wait for it… more relevant! Because nothing is worse than digging through a box full of deliciousness only to find a tiny hologram photo of Johnny Depp from 21 Jump Street.
So, new Cracker Jack prizes will have digital codes that can be used to unlock "nostalgic" games like baseball and pinball on the Cracker Jack app for Android.
What's next, a golden ticket in a chocolate bar? Oh, wait…

Breaking News: Benazir Bhutto Assassinated in Suicide Attack
Former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto died at 6:16PM PST (8:16AM New York) today after suffering fatal wounds from an assassination attempt while leaving Liaquat Park in Rawalpindi.
Bhutto, after completing her address at the party rally and entering a bomb and bulletproof vehicle, reportedly opened the vehicle's sunroof and shook hands with her supporters through it, exposing the top half of her body. An assassin, perhaps briefly preceded by a suicide blast nearby, fired three to five shots at her; one struck Ms. Bhutto in the head and the other in her neck. The assassin then blew himself up.
Rehman Malik, Bhutto's chief security adviser and Naheed Khan, a close Bhutto friend are critically injured. Over thirty others have been killed.
Dawn reports in today's paper (before the blast) that Islamabad (adjacent to Rawalpindi) was under high alert and heightened security due to threats from Baitullah Mehsud. Nusrat Javed of Aaj Television states that the suicide attacker went through three rings of security to reach Ms. Bhutto.
Pakistan's first Prime Minister Liaquat Ali Khan was assassinated in Rawalpindi — at the same park– on October 16, 1951. Bhutto's father was also hung in Rawalpindi in 1979.
Ms. Bhutto joins the list of assassinated family members: her brother Shahnawaz died from poisoning in France in 1985 and her other brother Murtaza was shot to death by police at close range in 1996.
UPDATE – 09:56AM – GEO reports of gunfire and blasts near Bilawal House, the Bhutto home in Karachi.
UPDATE – 10:05AM – An immensely distraught Asif Ali Zardari, husband of the late Benazir Bhutto, just spoke briefly on GEO Television. On his way from Dubai to Karachi, he said, "We will see what has happened. We don't believe all of what's been said. We will see then we will believe it."
UPDATE – 10:38AM – Pervez Musharraf has appealed to the people of Pakistan to cooperate with the security forces to maintain calm as violence grows across the country. The extent of the turmoil is unclear at this point, but GEO is reporting significant violence in Karachi.
UPDATE – 10:45AM – GEO reports that there will be a three days of mourning in Bhutto's home province of Sindh. Bhutto's body will be transported from Rawalpindi to Karachi, but it could be temporarily placed at Zardari House in Islamabad.
UPDATE – 10:58AM – Former Director General of Inter-Services Intelligence Hamid Gul states on GEO that the assassination of Benazir Bhutto demonstrates the "failure" of Pervez Musharraf's government and calls for a "consensus government."
UPDATE – 11:05AM – GEO has shown the image of the gun believed to have been used to fire upon Bhutto.
UPDATE – 11:21AM – Pervez Musharraf just completed a national address on Pakistan television. He has announced a three day national mourning period. Musharraf attributed the attacks to the terrorists the country is waging a war against and vowed to continue the fight till they are vanquished.
George W. Bush earlier made an address from Crawford, Texas, urging Pakistanis to "honor Benazir Bhutto's memory by continuing with the democratic process for which she so bravely gave her life."
UPDATE – 12:50PM – Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has announced that they will boycott the elections.
UPDATE – 1:02PM – Nawaz Sharif is giving a speech now explaining his boycott of the elections, stating that neither free and fair elections nor security can be provided with Musharraf as president.
UPDATE – 1:05PM – The body of Benazir Bhutto is at Chaklala Air Base in Islamabad. It will be transported to Bhutto's hometown of Larkana, where she will be buried at the family mausoleum in Garhi Khuda Baksh.

St. Petersburg, FL (Sports Network) - Cody Ross hit a solo homer and drove in four on Thursday and the Red Sox downed the Rays, 5-3, in the finale of a two- game series.
Felix Doubront (4-1) earned the win, allowing two runs -- one earned -- on six hits over 5 2/3 innings. He struck out seven and walked four. Alfredo Aceves recorded the game's final four outs to pick up his eighth save of the season.
Marlon Byrd also had a homer for Boston, which had won five straight before falling in the opener of this brief series on Wednesday.
Matt Moore (1-4) gave up three runs over six innings in the loss. B.J. Upton went 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI for Tampa Bay, which saw its four-game win streak come to an end.
"I thought he finished really strong. That's a good game to build off of," Rays manager Joe Maddon said of Moore, adding, "He definitely pitched well enough to win."
The Red Sox took a 1-0 lead in the first with help from Moore, who allowed singles to Mike Aviles and David Ortiz. He then hit Adrian Gonzalez to load the bases and issued two-out walk to Ross to push across a run.
Byrd led off the second inning with his first homer of the season and Ross' two-out blast in the third made it 3-0.
With two down in the bottom half, Upton reached on catcher's interference by Kelly Shoppach, moved to second when Luke Scott was hit by a pitch and scored on Jeff Keppinger's line drive single to left.
The Rays made it 3-2 in the fourth when Sean Rodriguez hit a leadoff single, advanced to second on a groundout and crossed the plate on Rich Thompson's two-out single. A pair of walks followed, loading the bases, but Scott lined out to Gonzalez at first base to end the inning.
Scott failed to deliver again in the sixth. Ben Zobrist singled with two down and advanced to third on Upton's double, which chased Doubront. But Rich Hill induced Scott into an inning-ending fly out to left field.
"He got a little out of sorts, but he's a good pitcher. After all that nonsense, to only give up two runs: that's a good job," Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine said of his starter.
Dustin Pedroia began the eighth with a base hit and Ortiz followed with a walk. Will Middlebrooks advanced the runners with a groundout and they scored when Ross squibbed a grounder up the middle.
Upton hit an RBI single in the home half to make it 5-3, but Aceves grounded out Scott with runners at second and third to end the inning.
Interleague play begins for both teams on Friday. The Red Sox travel to Philadelphia for a three-game series with the Phillies while the Rays will host the Atlanta Braves for three games.

(Somewhat related to At what level of detail does God lead His children?.)
Here, I am going to make a couple assumptions.
- The person has the Holy Spirit inside them.
- The person follows the Holy Spirit's leading at all times (or as much as they can).
Now, the question is: does the Holy Spirit ever say something like "Up to you."? That is, is there any Scriptural justification for the idea that the Spirit will explicitly give the Christian a choice when the Christian asks for guidance?

General manager Wendell Young concluded otherwise.
"I thought we had a heck of a team last year," Young said. "Some people would have been happy with winning our division, but not us. I think we underachieved. We expect to win it all. We put teams together to win championships, not just to make the playoffs."
That's Young's mindset again as the four-time champion Wolves launch their bid for the 2013 Calder Cup. With former Columbus Blue Jackets and Manitoba Moose head coach Scott Arniel at the helm, the Wolves open their 19th season at 7 p.m. Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday when the Rockford IceHogs visit Allstate Arena in Rosemont.
The Wolves retain the guts of last year's division-winning team --- they welcome back seven of the top 10 point-scorers along with top-flight goaltending tandem Eddie Lack and Matt Climie --- but Young's offseason search and the National Hockey League's ongoing lockout have combined to provide even more talent.
Among other moves, Young lured high-scoring left wing Brett Sterling back into burgundy and gold. The 28-year-old Sterling, who scored 55 goals as a rookie in 2006-07 and ranks third on the Wolves' all-time goals list with 143, was reunited with right wing Darren Haydar during preseason practices and games.
"I thought we'd bring somebody back who knew the organization and was a natural goal-scorer in Sterling," Young said. "We added a little more grit with (left wing Guillaume) Desbiens. We've got some great young players coming in at center with (Alex) Friesen and (Alex) Mallet. So, from that standpoint upfront, I think all of the pieces are coming together."
Thanks to the NHL lockout, more pieces came the Wolves way. Centers Andrew Ebbett and Steve Pinizzotto, right wing Zack Kassian and defenseman Chris Tanev (who played 34 games for the Wolves last year before being promoted to Vancouver for good) will sharpen their skills for Chicago.
After guiding the Wolves through an intense preseason camp and to a 2-1-0-1 exhibition record, Arniel believes his team fits his aggressive style.
"Aggressive isn't fighting," Arniel said. "Aggressive is speed and attacking. Whether it's neutral zone or offensive zone or "D" zone, we want to be aggressive. We don't want teams to have time to make plays or have space to make plays. We want to be aggressive on the puck all the time."
"I think that's one thing we didn't do enough last year," Young said. "We weren't aggressive enough. We didn't attack the puck. We were passive. Force players to make good plays. If they beat you with a good play, so be it."
The Wolves finished tied for 23rd on the power play (15.4 percent) and tied for 14th in goals per game (2.80) last season. Arniel expects the team to improve markedly in both areas as the newcomers join forces with potent returnees Haydar, Jordan Schroeder, Bill Sweatt, Anton Rodin, Andrew Gordon and Nathan Longpre.
"I mean, we've got some skill," he said. "We've got the ability to score goals and make plays. We have some pure goal-scorers, some people who put the puck in the net for a living."
Though the Wolves set a franchise record last season by allowing just 193 goals, they have fortified the blue line by adding veteran defensemen Derek Joslin, Patrick Mullen and River Forest native Zach Miskovic to a core that includes Kevin Connauton, Mark Matheson, Brad Hunt and Yann Sauve.
Lack (2.31 goals-against average) and Climie (2.52 GAA) will handle the goaltending for the second year in a row. "I think that's one of the strong parts of our game," Arniel said. "You get goaltending like that, it's certainly going to help you win a lot of hockey games."
"I think Eddie should be a dominant goalie," said Young, who holds all of the Wolves goaltending records. "He was dominant at times last year. He should be the best goalie in the American League. That's what he should shoot for."
The Chicago Wolves won the American Hockey League's Midwest Division last season and claimed the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference playoffs. Not bad, right?
General manager Wendell Young concluded otherwise.

I don't know what level you are pvping at but none of gladiator level pvpers in WoW or top pvpers in WAR that I know ever uses keyboards to turn - you map A and D to strafe so that you free up Q and E keys for mapping quick stun/crowd control/escape moves. Using Q and E for strafing is very wasteful.
Also, you are basically just ripping on the person that you've just quoted for no apparent reason then that fact that he is saying what true for most top level players and that you don't like his opinion. He didn't eve mentioned that he likes FW or that he even plays FW in there.

There is false information in this feature list. You get a free respec, it's called a Talent Compass. Everyone gets atleast 1 for free. You don't have to use the auto route feature if you do not wish to do so. It's simply there for convenience. As you start getting higher leveled 20+, you even get quest that don't allow the auto-route feature. There's also several ways to obtain "world flutes" other than buying them from the CS. I question the author of this feature list about his actual level before writing this article? Also, there's several several several forms of instruction on how to's. There's not really any info overload. Concerning the "Shards" you can obtain them through normal questing and monster slaying. Please get a little bit more experience before "defining" a game.

Even the pay to chat doesn't help when there are tons of idiots posting on the world chat(I don't like to use offensive words, but there are seriously many idiots there.)
The crystals in the cash shop are used for adding gems to your gear and are only obtainable via cash shop(I haven't seen a vendor that sells them.) Other thing to know for the game is that the Mastery and Resistance trainings are game breaking. There was a post on the FW's forum and the price was calculated how much money it will cost you to max out the Mastery and Resistance training. The price was 24800$ and that is a huge price. 16800$ for the mastery training and 8000$ for Resistance training. With 248000$ you can buy a car.(Need clarification on this, don't know if the price is correct.)
Other thing the writer didn't mention was their unoptimized engine. The game's engine seems like it's not reaching the CPU and thus the players with good PC's have low FPS from about 10 to 22 FPS on a top notch machine.
The game is also repetitive and it's very dependant on God's Trial dungeon. The God's Trial dungeon is a dungeon that gives you a experience. The dungeon is opened twice a day can be done once a day. If you haven't done the dungeon in the last three days, the dungeon stacks and you can enter it thrice in that day. The God's Trial will give you a full level, but that depend on what level you are.
The problems with the F2P games is that they are more expensive than the P2P games. In the P2P games you pay 15$ or 12.99€ and enjoy the whole game without to have a game breaking items, while on the F2P side you can spend more than 100$/€ a month and even more in a year.
Other thing I have noticed about the companies who publish most of the F2P Asian games often times they have a cash shop that ruins the gameplay and it's PvP and PvE. Lucky that Riot Games is an exception.

I've been playing this game as if it were my job since its release. Right now I'm level 56 (cap is 60) and there are only a few on my server that have reached 60.
Here are my thoughts.
First of all, the entire games economy is fueled by cash shoppers. The'res two currencies, one is tradeable. The tradeable currecny is basically created from an item in the cash shop.
Even though the tradeable currecny is based on real life money, NON ZEN buyers can get by very easily selling things on the auctionhouse.
You can actually get everything you need from the cashshop this way.
However, when you look at the details of the games setup, you will notice there is almsot an infinite number of limitations and aspects of the game created just to get more gold from you to spend. The tradeable gold is not only used for trading, but often used with npc's instead of the nontradable gold.
Guild basses, for example. There is a time for bidding between guilds to get guild basses. The first round lasted 3 days and our guild ended up spending something around 18 diamonds just to buy the base. That is equal to around $200 dollars convereted. Then there's an upkeep to pay. You can do quests to generate upkeep, but if it drops too low your guildies are spending money again.
The fact that you can get by without spending money seems to apply more on PVE servers. from what ive been told, pvp is very dependant on gear and masteries. Masteries are boosts to damage and resistance, that are ENTIRELY upgraded through gold. And the max them out you're going to either be playing the auctionhouse nonstop and well, or spending tons of real life money.
PVE isnt very challenging and doesnt require maxed out gear. Actually the game seems to revolve only around leveling up. most quests are done solo with tons of running around and instances are only done for gear.

I tried to play this, but just couldn't get past the inability to turn, only strafe.
Just weird. And as I play games left handed, using the arrow keys instead of asd, so it was just unplayable. I don't understand how they could miss something so simple that most other MMORPGs, even many F2P ones from Asia can handle...

k i play fw and yes we got a cash shop but u dont have to pay cash to get items from it u can use gold coins(ingame curruncy between players) to buy leaves(cash shop money) and bam u can start buying stuff from cash shop but i advise u keep enough gold coins to buy mercury statues from other players(item needed to do a quest to get gold coins) and heres another plus there are 2 currencies ingame 1 is soul coins which is used purely on npcs and gold coins which like i said above are used for player to player transactions and also can b use at npcs for special items and if u dont have enough soul coins but ive gone a lil off topic but with all that said cash shop isnt really that bad especially since leaves are reasonably priced

[quote]You Must Buy Your "Re-specs"[/quote]
I still see you havent playd the game enough to experience its in-deph futures .
There is an NPC in Blossom Blvrd "Tresure Seller" .
You will finde there Re-Spec (Talent COmpas) for 1 diamond , yea i know , its alot .
But there ar plenty of ways of gaining 1 "Re-Spec" , you can gain one from a Tresure Map .
But this game has a way to eazy way of gaining cash ... in-game currency (diamonds)
Like so , you have Botany job , farm herbs sell them and voila
You have fisher job , fish some Cod's (they sell well) and voila .
You have Artisan ... Scavanger and plenty of jobs to get you the cash needed to buy 1 re-spec .
Like take it my way ... when i need a re-spec i do this :
-Farm Golden Vine ( they sell for 2-4silvers each ) . You can farm around 150 in 1h
-Farm Copper ores / Red Quicksilvers ( 1 silver each ) . I usualy farm like 300 with 120 energy
- Doing "Adventure Quests" and hopeing for a re-spec (talent compas)
-Farming Cod with an alternative character...
Doign so i cna get 30-40g in around 2-3days .
And as a F2P experienced player i belive the ways of getting cahs ar preety eazy.
I play MMO's till the release of MU Online.
I still play and will keep palying Forsaken , as for the auto-route future , i love it , i do not like haveing to look for an NPC 30mins just to end up finishing a low exp quest .
To shorten my small "review" :
1. Ther ar other ways onf getting re-spec
2. Cash making is eazy to do cos you have plenty of "lazyness"
3. Auto-route is a nice future implemented in moust of PWE games
4. Higher levels (im a lvl 46 , 42 ) will allways have more ways of making cash..
5. My only disslike of the game is the way of handeling Cash Shop
a) Cash Shops with "Buy Power" futures ar never liked by a casual player
b) World Chat items in a Cash Shop is a stupid future
c) Alltho the game has a in-game curency > cash shop curency future , the community makes it hard enough to grab some CS curency without paying IRL cash .
All i have ot say for now , thanks for reading .

Three out of the five listed are F2P bedrock, frankly. It's almost worthless to point out crap like "pay to world chat" or even "buying your respecs". If you didn't expect these or other elements like them going in, you probably shouldn't be reviewing the game or genre to begin with. It's like calling out the game for "pay for XP pots".
Information overload is a push and largely opinion based, but I will completely agree with Quest Auto-Nav. It's probably one of the worst things to hit MMOs in a while since it absolutely kills immersion in most cases. Nobody reads your quest text and they have no reason to explore. If you have lore to impart, it's wasted because your players are simply hunting for the highlighted auto pilot links.
Having said that, I hate to say Forsaken World needs it. Running back and forth across that damn capital for over 20 levels is complete and utter fail and after several dozen iterations, I don't care if the cake is a goddamn lie. SHOOT ME ALREADY.
Speaking of which, if you want to add to the fail five
That should round out the list nicely. There's more, but those are the ones that immeditely come to mind.

Do daily quests like life in freedom harbor and you'll soon have stacks of world flutes..
There's very little reason to need a world message anyways, and it's almost always guid recruitment, party recruitment, or garbage that's ignored by 99.9999999999998% of people..
PvP pay to win stuff isn't really that big a deal since it's not exclusive to the cash shop. Hell, they're not even that expensive to buy in game considering the cash you have when 50++, much less if you do a lot of instances, and farm with whater job you have, much less alts for fishing and the like for even more cash.
You CAN get a re-spec with enough money from in game.
Ugh this whole list is so freaking...
I was hoping he'd list the real problems with the game, not just generic stuff like this, much less made up stuff...

All perfect world games just make me cry. They are all based around the same world with a few differently moduled texture packs and a few new NPC's that are used over and over again. The only thing I did enjoy about this game was the Nightmare Carnival where you must work with a team to progress through challenges and gain exp.
Free to play means pay to win.

Even though "crab" is the first word in tonight's plat du jour, the real star of any Benedict is EGG. If you are like me, you have only an 80% success rate cracking eggs without breaking the yolk; to whit, tonight I went through about a dozen eggs in the service of this meal – only 9 of which actually made it to table, in one way or the other. But boy oh boy was it worth it! The number of ingredients in this meal is relatively low, but the effort is high – very very high. This is not an easy meal to execute – especially if you make everything from scratch. I realized at the last moment that I really needed at least 6 hands to make everything come out hot together, so I had to pull the husbandman in as a pinch flipper/whisker. For once, his incessant "Is there anything I can do to help?" query (which I always flatly refuse, totalitarian that I am) met with a begrudging "Yes." Clayton found himself flipping the crab cakes, and whisking the latter end of the sauce – which he did quite to my exact instructions…which I barked, admittedly, rather frenetically, in the heat of the moment as it were. But when he and I both released our streaming golden egg yolks over our crispy crab-filled patties, and bathed our sweet-tender shellfish sinews with lemony yellow Hollandaise ooze, and entrapped sensational deliciousness between speared forkfuls of hot-toasted buttered muffins, I had to admit each mouthful was worth having to ask for a hand, and he had to admit each bite was worth my unnecessarily, and undeserved, rancorous tone of voice.
Crab Cakes Benedict
1 lb king crab legs
1 can beer
1 cup panko breadcrumbs, divided
1 tsp Grey Poupon mustard
2 tbs mayonnaise
5 whole eggs, 4 egg yolks
1 cup minced green onion, divided
paprika, sea salt, cracked black pepper
3 tbs fresh lemon juice
1 stick + 2 tbs melted butter
2 tbs EVOO
2 English muffins
white vinegar
Whole Foods was still running their $14/lb special on king crab legs, so I had to buy me at least one more pound before they went back up in price. I am fascinated by this creature, not only because of its deliciousness, but because of how much work it takes to get to that deliciousness. These spiny legs with their sharp claws were a challenge to hold, but worth the effort considering how succulent their flesh was.
I have to bend my crab legs at eat joint in order to fit them into my steamer basket in my largest pot, but they just make it.
I steam them for about 5 minutes with the contents of a can of beer and some water added to increase the volume to about 3 cups of liquid total.
Using my kitchen shears to get into each shell, I carefully remove as much meat as I can from the legs and knuckles — all the way up to their very sharp tips, which I managed to pull out entirely unbroken. My pound of legs yields about 3/4 lb of meat.
Here I have 1/2 of my chopped green onion, my mustard, mayo, one whole egg, 1/2 cup of panko breadcrumbs, some salt, pepper, and about a 1/2 tsp of paprika. I mix this all together, then add about 1/2 pound of crab meat (reserving some for my dinner tomorrow – why not?), and toss lightly together until just blended. The mixture is wet, which is good…
… because I'm going to make the patties by rolling loosely packed handfuls of mixture in another layer of panko. I have to work gingerly, since there is so much crabmeat here the cakes don't really want to stick together, but the outer breadcrumbs will help them retain their shape. I make 4 patties, about 1/4lb each, put them on a paper plate and then throw them in the freezer for about 20 minutes to help them set even more.
Eggs. One has already been used in the crab cake mix, and the rest of these will be my Hollandaise sauce and my poached eggs.
Before I start cracking those babies, I get everything else ready to go. I need to melt my stick of butter for the sauce, I need to set up poaching liquid for the eggs, a double-boiler for the sauce, and a pan for the crab cakes. Since I don't have fancy crap, I jerry-rig stuff, using my metal tongs and a small metal bowl to melt the butter over the 4 cups of water + 1 tbs white vinegar I'm bringing to a boil for the poaching, and a small saucepan 1/2 filled with water to bring to a simmer under a way-too-large metal bowl to make the Hollandaise.
I also fish out these egg-poachers I purchased a while back. When I make only 1 poached egg at a time, I just create a vortex in the saucepan by whisking the simmering water into a funnel, into which I drop my egg; making 4 poached eggs won't work that way, especially since I don't have any real way to hold the eggs once they're cooked without either cooling them down too much or them continuing to cook. As it is, I still have to make these in shifts — so the poaching is the last thing I'm going to do. These aren't perfect, but they do the job. I spray each down with Pam, which will help the eggs slide into the water when I want them to. But I'm getting ahead of myself here…
First, I carefully separate 4 of my eggs, discarding the whites and trapping the yolks in the large bowl I'm using as a double-boiler. I add my lemon juice to the pan before whisking everything together and placing it over the simmering water in my small saucepan. It's imperative the hot water doesn't touch the bottom of the bowl, or the eggs might scramble; if they do, adding a little bit of hot water and whisking vigorously will usually smoothen the emulsion back out.
Like so. While I whisk, I add my melted stick of butter in a steady, fine stream, adding more water as needed to keep the sauce the right consistency. It takes about 10 minutes of constant whisking to make this sauce – which will thicken upon standing. (For a more in-depth look at how to make a Hollandaise sauce, check out this posting.)
Meanwhile, I've melted 1 tbs butter with my EVOO in my non-stick pan, and have gently placed my half-frozen crab cake patties into the hot fat. They sizzle temptingly, and after about 5 minutes they are the perfect golden brown for flipping.
Another 5 minutes or so on the other side and they're ready to go. (I'm still whisking while this is happening, BTW.)
At the same time, I get my poached eggs started, first by floating them whole (with unbroken yolks) in their little green vessels in my barely simmering (never boiling) water, just long enough to see the whites start to congeal. When the edges are just white, I tip a little hot water into each vessel to help capture some form, before I tilt the vessels over one at a time, dumping the eggs into the vinegar'd water to poach through completely. Once I see the whites completely congealed, but the yolks are still *very* runny — about 2 minutes — I fish each egg out with a slotted spoon.
The final component of my Benedict is, of course, the English muffin base. Trader Joe's has named their muffins after two Victorian British Prime Ministers, Benjamin Disreali and William Gladstone. I don't know why, but it makes me love this product all the more! (These guys represent the British Government active during the time of my scholarly research into cholera in 19th century British literature, so they already have a warm place in my heart – mistaken miasmatists that they were.) I split two muffins, toast them, and sprinkle my last tablespoon of melted butter into their nooks and crannies.
On top of each muffin goes a crab cake, and on top of each crab cake goes a perfectly poached egg. On top of each stack I pour my lemony sauce, and scatter the remaining scallions along with some paprika and black pepper.
It seems that the barest pressure — that of my ravenous glance — is all it takes for the trembling golden yolks to burst from their quivering white confines to pour lasciviously over cake, muffin, and plate. The cakes are super-crunchy and filled with huge bites of tender, buttery crab meat, and the toasted buttered muffins are the perfect starch to sop up the rich flavors of the sauce. Crab cakes out in the world are so often disappointing: too much bread, too many ingredients, a harsh overpowering mustard sauce that cancels out the sweet sweet crab meat. But these were the best I've ever had, made even more spectacular by the perfectly complimentary egg yolk and bright silky sauce. I admit it: I licked my plate. But so did Clayton. And, dear reader, if you make this dish — so will you.

Last year, the first pill to treat an underlying cause of cystic fibrosis (CF) hit the market, thanks to initial testing at Children's Hospital Colorado. "I burst into tears of gratitude when I heard about it," says Jennifer Heinicke, whose 8-year-old daughter, Annelise, was diagnosed with CF during a routine newborn screening. The medication, called Kalydeco, targets a genetic mutation that interferes with the transport of chloride in some patients. "It worked beyond my wildest dreams," says Frank Accurso, M.D., head of the hospital's pulmonology department, who is now testing a combo of Kalydeco and another medication that would potentially help up to half of the patients with CF. Since Annelise started taking the tablet last Valentine's Day, she hasn't missed school because of breathing problems and has been playing soccer, hiking, and tap dancing. Says Jennifer: "I can barely keep up with her."
