It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I use my HTC one to provide my music etc for running and use the headphones that come with it. Lately the left headphone keeps popping out. What headphones do you all use?
Sennheiser do a range of sports headphones in association with Adidas. I've got the mx680 that are earbud type ones with little fins that secure them in your ear, and I'm happy with them. They also make ones with a band that goes around the head, and others which are noise isolating.
If I had the cash, B&W do some very nice ear buds that are suitable for sport.
I had the same problem with headphones poping out when running I tried the over ear headphones but i found they just kept moving around so i went and got some ones with bands that go around the head, sennheiser PMX 80 they worked well but packed in not so long ago, now trying out philips SHQ4200 as there cheep, the sound quality is not as good but i just have the music as a bit of background noise so there fine for me.
I have very small ears and have always struggled with headphones. In fact I just ran with a headband over my ears to keep them in (so attractive!). That was until I came across Yurbuds (for Women). You kind of twist them into your ear and they do.not.budge. No pain either! Brilliant! Sound quality isn't the best but I don't care too much about that anyway - I just want to hear some noise.
Out in the world, I recommend clips to earbuds.
The el-cheapo Panasonic RP-HS46E Slim Clips are secure, give very respectable sound quality, and are just over £9 on Amazon.
Hi I have a pair of Soundmagic E 30 excellent sound and stay in the ears very well cost me £40 but well worth it. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Soundmagic-E30-BK-SoundMAGIC-E30-Earphones/dp/B005HJ38OO
Have seen these advertised recently but dont know how good they are .Yurbuds
I have the E30's they are GREAT but fiddly for running or the gym - two wires, plus you have to keep re-sealing them in your ear-holes!
Sennheiser PMX685i are a much much better choice.
I've tried four pairs in the last year but have settled with an excellent pair from Shure. Here are my impressions of all four pairs, hopefully this is helpful info.
My Sennheiser IE-60's were excellent sound quality but not suitable for running at all. They would just not stay in. I use these when I'm not running.
I tried the Sennheiser/Adidas sporting ones, I think the model prior to the CX680's and they cost around £30-£40. They fit well but the sound quality was nothing to write home about.
I moved on to the Denon AH-W150 Exercise Freak bluetooth headset at £150. Having no wires was very convenient and I had no issues with sound cutting out. The fit wasn't great though. They are in-ear headphones and sound ok but nowhere near good enough for that price. The seal loosens after a running a few paces and the sound quality deteriorates drastically. I wouldn't recommend these at all.
I'm currently using wired phones which I'm very happy with. They are Shure SE215's, in-ear headphones at £75. Once in, these things aren't going anywhere. They are a great fit and the seal is perfect. The sound quality is very good as well, possibly a little too muddy in the mid range with excessive bass but much better than you would expect at that price. The only downside is that you can hear very little of the outside world and have to be super carefull at road crossings.

A Smith & Wesson beats four Aces
After playing - and winning - poker for a couple of hours, Roy was about ready to call it quits for the day. Just one more game ought to do it he thought. He anted up and got his cards. The queens just kept coming until he had three of them.
When the final round of betting came, he said, "I raise you a hundred dollars." The remaining players, who had already dropped out, looked at him in shock. The only other person left in the game was the dealer.
"Yer bluffin', and I ain' gonna let you have this pot without a fight," said the big man.
"Okay then, deal 'em." The man dealt the cards. Roy got a fourth queen, giving him a hand that would be hard to beat. The dealer laid his cards down - four aces - and reached for the pot. Roy drew his knife and slammed it into the table.
"You haven't seen my cards yet," said Roy.
"Are you blind son? They ain't no way ya can beat that," said the man as he kept moving his hand. Roy showed his cards - four queens and an ace.
The room fell silent as Roy said, "Now my math skills ain't the best, but I do believe that four and one makes five aces in the deck. Now, either I'm a cheater or you are, but I know one thing that will beat four aces."
"Oh, and now what is that?" Roy stood and drew his pistol like greased lightning, firing a single shot into the dealer's chest.
As the smoke cleared, Roy said, "A Smith & Wesson."

Hansons at home with East Valley wrestling
Sat., Dec. 29, 2012, midnight
Going into the family business was a pretty easy decision for Matt Hanson.
The oldest son of longtime East Valley wrestling coach Craig Hanson joined longtime friend Martin Mitchell when the former EV assistant coach took over the Rogers High School program. Hanson spent two seasons coaching the Pirates before joining his father's staff this season.
"I really enjoyed working with the kids at Rogers," Hanson said. "But my youngest brother Zac is a freshman this year and I was out of the house by the time he and I could have had a deeper relationship, so I just decided I couldn't pass up the chance to work with him."
That makes the Hanson family business almost complete.
Craig Hanson and his wife Janeen share a passion for the sport of wrestling that is palpable – a passion they've both instilled in and shared with their three sons, Matt, Clete and Zac.
Now in his 19th season leading the Knights, Craig Hanson has turned East Valley into a wrestling power. He's coached some 180 dual-meet victories and nine league titles, four of them coming in the powerful Greater Spokane League. A year ago the Knights were Class 2A district champions and placed eighth at the state tournament.
Janeen Hanson takes a backseat to none for her passion and devotion to the sport. She runs hospitality rooms at tournaments all over, from the annual Tri-State Tournament at North Idaho College to the annual Dream Duals tourney at East Valley.
"A couple weeks ago, while we were at a tournament in Sedro-Woolley, she ran the pairings for a tournament at North Central, and we didn't have anyone AT that tournament," Craig Hanson said with a laugh. "All of our kids have grown up around wrestling and wrestling tournaments."
"If you want to find our family (this time of year)," Matt Hanson quipped, "you kind of have to go to a wrestling tournament. My mom and dad both have a deep passion for this sport. It manifests itself differently in each of them, but it's every bit as deep."
The missing Hanson from the East Valley wrestling room this season, middle son Clete was a surprise guest over the Christmas weekend. A year removed from a standout four-year career at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, Clete Hanson is in his first season as an assistant wrestling coach at Simon Fraser.
"Clete got married last year and he was supposed to be spending Christmas with his in-laws," Craig Hanson said. "But they weren't able to make it out and, at the last minute, they took a look at the weather report and decided they would drive down to spend Christmas with us."
"It's the first time we've all been together for Christmas since Clete left for college," Matt Hanson said. "It made mom very happy."
That put Craig Hanson in the EV wrestling room with all three sons, and put a smile on his face that spills out into every word he says.
Despite last year's success, East Valley wasn't on too many radar sets before the season started.
"We're a pretty young squad, but we have had two classes come in that have dovetailed nicely," Craig Hanson said. "Last year's freshman class was strong at different weight classes than this year's class, and that has worked very well for us. We've got some weights where we're deep. We're still learning. We wrestled Colville and, in that match, we ended up losing every close match. We had a couple where we were up by something like seven points and ended up getting pinned. We lost that match.
"Then we wrestled Deer Park and it was just the opposite – we won every close match and ended up winning that match. I don't think anyone would have thought this team could go out and beat Deer Park."
The perennially powerful Stags are the favorite to win the state Class 2A title, and Colville and Cheney both are picked as challengers. Even rebuilding West Valley is picked ahead of the Knights – and all four teams currently are ranked among the top 20 teams by website, WashingtonWrestling Report.net. In fact, in the season-opening poll Deer Park, Colville and Cheney are ranked first, third and sixth. West Valley comes in at 18th.
"We were just talking about that the other day," Matt Hanson said, laughing. "We'll be there. That just goes to show you how powerful our district is
"I think we may have set our expectations a little low with this team and we're having to go back and raise the bar a little right now."
Once you get past the team rankings and look at the updated ranks in each weight class, the Knights show the surge.
For example, two Knights are picked to finish on the awards platform at this year's state tournament at 106-pounds: Logan Sundheim (ranked sixth) and Zac Hanson (eighth), both freshmen.
"We've had both of them entered in the same tournament and I turned Zac over to Matt to work with during his matches," Craig Hanson said. "It's worked out great. I've been able to give all of my attention to (Logan) and let Matt work with his brother. It gets rid of any appearance of favoritism and it's been good for Matt and Zac."
"That's been a great opportunity for me," Matt Hanson agreed. "There are some things that Zac and I can talk about that would be more difficult for him to talk to Dad about. For one thing, I've been through the program, too, so I can talk to him from experience. Sometimes it can be difficult having a parent as your coach."
For Craig Hanson, it's been a rare privilege to watch his son work with the Knights.
"I stand back and let Matt work with the guys and I hear him telling them the exact same thing I told him when he was starting out here," he said. "I can't tell you how good that feels."

Sapphire Sword: Part Four
Bran looked over the waving treetops. He was supposed to be meeting someone here. Where were they? Bran knew that Esmeralda would sleep for awhile yet, she had been exhausted last night after journeying through the upper and lower city and out into the Iltrack Forest. Bran looked down through the branches at the fey he loved. She was still asleep, curled up underneath a grey blanket, laying on a platform that King Tibem used during wars and raids. Bran smiled and looked back up. Where were they? Finally, Bran spotted a disturbance in the forest below.
"There you are," he said as he shaded his eyes in the rising sun. Yes, that was definitely them. Bran leapt down from branch to branch, like a nimble squirrel, and landed on his feet at the base of the tree. Bran landed right in front of the black stallion. The stallion was battle trained, and didn't shy when Bran appeared from the foliage above. Bran walked around the horse, rubbing its soft nose.
Bran turned to the person on the horse. "Sorrel. It is good to see you again."
Sorrell pulled her hood back. "As it is to see you, Bran."
Bran patted the horse's neck. "How are our parents?"
Sorrel shrugged. "As well as they were last time, Bran. Worried, but fine."
Bran nodded. "Sister…"
Sorrel dismounted with a leap and landed next to her brother. "Brother, you know perfectly well that I side with you. You know that. And when this thing turns into a bloody war, which it will, then I will be right by your side, fighting with you."
Bran smiled and hugged his sister. "And for that I know no one can defeat me."
Sorrel smiled. She was known among the Mythicals as a powerful enchantress and a fearsome warrior. None except Bran had ever been as good as she.
Bran looked at Sorrel. "Would you like to travel with Esmeralda and me?"
Sorrel shook her head. "I cannot. Miltrae and I are bound for Grycharon."
Bran looked confused. "Miltrae?"
"My shadow servant."
Bran nodded. "Until we meet again, Sister."
Sorrel climbed back on her horse. "Until then, Brother." Sorrel leaned forwards and whispered in her horse's ear. The horse cantered away, taking Sorrel with him. Bran watched his sister longingly. If only he had her job instead of his.

To Cheat DeathMature
Slumped against the coldest, darkest corner of the cell, my tears stopped flowing. I think I had reached that point, where no more were there to cry. I looked up, brushing my golden brown waves out of my ever changing eyes, to see him, sitting across from me. I smiled softly. Phoebe and Josh sat, holding each other gently, comforting one another as best as they could. I saw Josh playing with a piece of her hair, twisting it and letting it fall slowly, onto her back, before picking it up again and entwining it around his fingers. I put my focus back on Wynter, faintly aware of what was happening.
"Hey, where's my ocean colour, missy?" He said, his eyes twinkling.
"You left me, I don't have that colour anymore, you own it," I whispered, ignoring Phoebe's startled look, as I spoke to myself.
"I'll give it back, I want to see you wearing it, and smiling,"
"I want you to come back, yet you can't,"
"I'm so sorry," He whispered, giving me a sad smile.
And then he disappeared, the figment of my imagination gone. I found more tears, and used them.
Phoebe's muffled sobs caught my passive attention, and I looked to see them in a tighter embrace. I smiled; they had each other still, their love was something worth saving in all this mess. My emotions were swirling around, and I experienced them now as a stranger to my body and mind, as if no longer actually feeling it, just seeing it, appreciating the pain. I had left my body, and I had no desire to reenter it, ever again.
I stood lithely, and looked out of the third story window, grateful we had a cell with a view.
From my peripheral vision, I could see Phoebe shooting fervent glances to Josh, obviously worried by my sudden burst of life. I turned around and gave an alarmingly natural smile, trying to reassure her that everything would be okay.
And it would. I had made my decision now, I knew what I wanted and needed to do. If I had to choose a way to die, this would be it. It was beautiful, dying to save those left that you love, and in the process, getting to go be with the one you love. I was lucky, really. No one could desire anything more. How many people, got to cheat death?

What is Vibranium?
Vibranium is a fictional metal that is important in the Marvel Universe. The two most important fictional metals in the Marvel universe are Adamantium (Used to construct Wolverine's Skeleton) and Vibranium (Captain America's shield. Black Panther's suit).

Who is Dr. Doom?
Avengers Age of Ultron page
The hidden gems of Season 2 of Agents of SHIELD
Vibranium comes from a meteorite that landed in the African nation of Wakanda. The Wakanda king T'Chaka at the time sees the potential of the metal and conceals its existence from the world. He sells smalls amounts of the metal and spends the money mostly on education.
Eventually, the deposit of metal is found by the mercenary villain Ulysses Klaw who kills T'Chaka.
T'Challa the son of T'Chaka takes over leadership of the country. He is open and transparent with the world about the Vibranium deposit. He sells off small amounts of the metal to fund a massive infrastructure upgrade of the country making Wakanda into a technological powerhouse.
Numerous countries, aliens and super villains attack Wakanda to try to gain control of its Vibranium but are repelled by the hero Black Panther - T'Challa, the Wakandan military and allies like the Avengers and X-Men.
Notable uses of the metal in the Marvel Universe Include:
Captain America's SHIELD
A vibranium-iron alloy was created somewhat accidentally by Dr. Myron MacLain. Dr. Maclain was trying to merge the metals together to form an alloy but could not find how. All of his experiments to merge the two metals failed miserably. One night while he is sleeping the metals seem to merge on their own. The process has never been duplicated making the metal in Captain America's SHIELD entirely unique.
Black Panther's suit
The Black Panther uses a suit of Vibranium mesh that absorbs energy from blows like Captain America's SHIELD but also absorbs sound making very stealthy.
Vibranium is also used in various other devices like his Kimono card that gives him communication access to Satellites as well as his boots that allow him to run on walls.
Klaw's Weapon
Ulyssess Klaw creates a weapon to control sound using Vibranium. This device eventually leads to him being constructed entirely of solid sound. Ironically, When one of the few items that can hurt Klaw in his sound form is Vibranium. Vibranium disrupts his sound construct, in a sense it dissolves him.
Ultron upgrades himself to be made of tougher metals. In the comics he uses Adamantium. He is actually the first character to use Adamantium in Marvel comic books. However, it is speculated that in the Marvel Cinematic Universe he will use Vibranium instead.
Side effects:
Vibranium may have mutagenic qualities and is likely the origin of the powers of heart shaped herb eaten by the Black Panther as well as the flesh of White Apes that give Man Ape his powers.
It is also thought that Vibranium can enhance mystical energies. For this reason it also sought after by magical villains like Doctor Doom.
Note: The first metal called Vibranium in the comics (Daredevil #13 1966) was a metal that could cut through any other metal. This is now known as Anti Metal and is found in Antarctica.
Marvel Cinematic Universe
In the Marvel Cinematic Universe it seems that Vibranium will be called Carbine. It makes its first appearance in Agents of SHIELD ("Heavy is the Head" Season 2: Episode 2)
In the Agents of SHIELD episode "Heavy is the Head" Raina (Flowers) hands some of the metal to Creel (The Absorbing Man) in a plot to steal the Obelisk from him.
She describes Carbine as 3 times harder than diamond, coming from star dust and can store energy.
Carbine / Vibranium will be featured in Avengers Age of Ultron where Ultron will use the metal to create a higher and stronger upgrade of himself.

|RE: using optimize and addDocument concurrently.
|Tue, 19 Oct 2004 15:37:56 GMT
Steve, The behavior that you descibe is as expected. I have tackled a similar problem to yours by creating a proxy object that acts as a gatekeeper to all IndexReader, IndexSearcher and IndexWriter operations. With fully synchronized access to all methods of the proxy you will not run into any problems. Everytime I need to perform something with the writer, I close the searcher etc. As to regular optimization I tend to reindex now and again with a completely seperate writer and replace the index by moving it to the new location. This BTW has also become a method in my proxy object. Hope this helps, Cheers, Aad Hi, My basic question is whether it is possible to continue to add documents to an index in one Thread while running a long running optimization of the index (approx 30 mins) in another thread. I'm using Lucene version 1.4.2. The concurrency matrix at http://www.jguru.com/faq/view.jsp?EID=913302 shows that if you use the same IndexWriter object you can do concurrent writes and optimization. When I try it in my program the addDocuments wait until the optimization has finished, so in this respect it is Thread safe, but the operations cannot be performed at the same time. Our problem is that the index needs to be continually kept up to date with new news articles, but also needs to be regularly optimized to keep it fast. If I cannot update and optimize one index at the same time the best way I can see of doing this is maintaining multiple identical indexes and offlining, optimizing, letting them catch up-to-date and re-onlining them. Does that sounds best to you? Thanks a lot in advance Steve --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

A Plan for the Urban Resilience of New York City and Its Neighborhoods
January 18th, 2013, 3:35 pm
Since the prescient events of Superstorm Sandy, which swept across the northeast coast of the United States in late October, 2012, the Municipal Art Society of New York has pulled together a number of convenings with coastal experts, local community leaders, and diverse stakeholders to discuss the lessons from this recent experience and to develop some key resilience principles going forward. For the third event in the series, MAS hosted Charting the Road to Resilience: From the Ground Up on Saturday, January 12. Joining the wide array of New Yorkers were a handful of recovery-hardened New Orleanians, who arrived to offer their support and recovery experience from seven years post-Katrina. Pulled together with over 80 partner organizations, the program included a day-long conference, preceded by site tours of affected neighborhoods on Friday, January 11. Untapped Cities one of our event partners, posted this photographic summary of the conditions tour participants found. The Saturday was a mix of plenary discussions and sixteen concurrent working sessions, pulled together to tackle the most pressing questions, including:
- Do we need a revised zoning regime to deter development from vulnerable areas?
- Have theses events provided us with an opportunity to re-address environmental justice issues?
- How can we better support NYCHA and other city agencies in their rebuilding and future preparedness efforts?
- What are the most effective ways to connect community-based responses (Occupy Sandy, neighborhood led initiatives) with the more formal efforts of the city, state and FEMA?
- What are the opportunities going forward to place a higher priority on sustainable building practices?
- How can we help neighborhoods bolster their own preservation and recovery?

st: difficulties with running own ado.filedue to lagged variables

st: difficulties with running own ado.filedue to lagged variables
Fri, 09 Jul 2010 12:41:15 +0200
Dear Stata Users,
I am using Stata Version 11.0 and I have a problem concerning the use of lagged dependend variables under certain constraints.
Regression looks like this:
abc y x1 x2 zx1 zx2 with abc beeing a command of an ado.file
zx1 gives the mean variable of the dependet variables x1, it first will be calculated automatically and than be used in the regression. Therefor I wrote a program, which calculates the mean of all dependent variables I use in the regression.
(here an abstract:)
tokenize `varlist'
local first "`1'"
macro shift
local rest "`*'"
foreach x of local rest {
by `panelvar', sort: egen z`x' = mean(`x')
Now I need a command how to get lagged variables of x1 and x2 but just if i wish to do this, depending on the structure of the dataset!
The whole program should be implemented as an ado.file.
I already checked the ado.files of xtabond / xtdpd which does similar things with lagged variables but i really don't know hot wo implement this exactly.
I tried something like this :
tempvar lag stouse
qui by `panelvar': gen `stouse' = `rest'
qui gen `lag' = (L.`stouse'!=`stouse'[_n-1])
or this:
foreach x of local rest{
*by `panelvar': generate lag`x' = `x'[_n-1]
But both didn't work.
At the end of the ado.file program is:
regress `first' `rest' z*; whereas `rest' shall than be lagged or not depending on whether I have typed
abc y x1 x2 zx1 zx2 or abc y l.x1 l.x2 zx1 zx2
So if anyone of you has an idea how I could get this fixed that would be fantastic.
Thanks a lot in advance for your support!

ICRA's Public Finance Ratings cover sovereign and sub-sovereign entities, State governments,and local bodies like municipal corporations, municipal councils and area development agencies. While the ratings assigned, are relative to that of the Union government, which is taken as highest safety, the performance of the State government concerned is benchmarked against that of the universe of major States. ICRA's primary focus being forward looking, we emphasises fiscal management and policy objectives of the government in the coming years and the possible impact of the same on future revenues and expenditure, the budget plan, likely capital expenditure, and future borrowing needs. ICRA's process for assigning State Government Ratings involves analysis of the underlying economy of the State and a detailed study of state finances including budgetary and off-budgetary transactions. The analysis includes comparison with respect to peer States on socio-economic parameters such as social development indicators, composition of GSDP, sectoral rates of growth, income levels, and investment activity. Besides, ICRA's temporal and peer group analysis of State finances covers quality and stability of revenues, expenditure management, analysis of debt outstanding, liquidity position, and quality of governance.

Smith joins the management team led by Martin Johnson after the Rugby Football Union were able to negotiate his release from London Irish.
The Exiles director of rugby, born in Australia, will work alongside defensive mastermind Mike Ford and forwards coach John Wells.
Johnson said: "The appointment of Brian is great news for England as we look forward to the increased time we have with the players under the new agreement with Premier Rugby.
"Brian is a top attack coach and I'm sure he will be a real asset to us. His appointment finalises the senior coaching team for next season."
Smith has been given the task of igniting England's pedestrian back play, which has proved woefully ineffective since 2003.
The recent tour to New Zealand once again exposed the shortcomings behind the scrum where the lack of imagination and creativity has made the team frustratingly one-dimensional.
Smith said: "The opportunity to coach Test rugby comes along rarely in one's career so I'm looking forward to my new position with England.
"It's an exciting time to be involved. I would like to thank London Irish for the opportunity the club has given me.
"I've enjoyed working with the playing and coaching staff and would like to thank all at the club for all the encouragement I've received."Reuse content

Qatar are not just looking to 2022, they retain an interest in Brazil 2014.
On Tuesday, the Qataris play South Korea in Seoul in their sixth match in the Asian qualifying group. The Gulf state sit fourth out of five. The top two go to Brazil, the third has to clear a two-round play-off hurdle to join them.
South Korea and Uzbekistan are favourites to qualify automatically, with Qatar vying with Iran for the play-off slot, but only one point currently separates the quartet.
Qualification would provide Qatar with much-needed sporting credibility. Currently ranked 101st by Fifa, they have never qualified for the World Cup. This is not surprising considering it has a population the size of Bucharest and no footballing background, so a few short-cuts have been taken. Qatar has liberally naturalised players born in Africa, Brazil and other Middle Eastern states with the result that 16 of the players called up in the last year were foreign-born. For the first time in two decades the coach is, at least, a Qatari, though for how long remains to be seen.
Fahed Thani became the fifth coach in two years when he was appointed in January. That sort of impatience underlines that Qatar is a nation in a hurry to establish itself, whether that be by political or sporting means.

More characters will be added as they appear. Since Nolan won't direct a fourth film, I will take it upon myself, since I won't be able to stand watching some cheap copycat Batman reboot four years from now. This story takes place two years after the Dark Knight Rises, and the plot will be loosely based off the graphic novels "The Killing Joke", "Mad Love", and the 2001 video game "Batman Vengeance."
"Hello," came the harsh voice of the Caped Crusader. Though it was an awkward attempt at friendliness, its grim and deep tone matched the dim setting of the room, an extremely dark prison cell with barred glass windows. Lightning flashed outside and the pouring rain battered against the window. The Dark Knight sat at a table, the man across from him was dressed in an Arkham jumpsuit, his face veiled by the shadows. On the table lay a deck of cards, which the man was silently playing with. Not any card game associated with casinos or child's play, but some random flipping in a sequence that only he likely understood. There was a long pause.
"I came to talk," Batman continued. "About you. About me. About what you said to me when I left you hanging on that building ten years ago."
The man across from him remained silent, merely continuing to flip his sequence of playing cards.
"You once said we were destined to do this forever. Yet here you are still, after all these years."
The figure across from him still hadn't spoken. He hadn't made any sort of motion besides his continuous flipping of his deck of cards, drawing from the top of the deck, and making rows of four. Then, he would randomly mix their positions before flipping them over, piling set after set on top of each other. This somewhat disturbed Batman, as a gut feeling was working up inside him. As if his companion's actions acted as a prelude to a terrible happening. Yet, he hadn't appeared hostile, so the Caped Crusader decided not to address it. Not yet. He pressed on.
I thought I'd never hear your name again, except for the mentions of the hell you once made of this city. Until the unfolding of recent events I never thought I'd see your face…" the Dark Knight paused as the man continued to flip his cards, as if completely unfazed by the presence of his interrogator. As if he wasn't even there. "Hey! Are you even listening to me, you-" His armored glove reached across the table, yanking the man's face into the faint beam of moonlight poking through the cell window. And the next thing he knew, the caped crusader was stricken with fear.
"WHEREEEE ISS HEEEEEEEEE?" He roared, shaking the terrified man and violently throwing him to the floor.
It had been too late after all, which was clear to the Batman when he glimpsed the man's face. This was not the man he was looking for, the man he thought he was conversing with, although he could have easily been fooled. The imposter was a middle aged white man, with mild facial resemblance; the same basic attributes. But those scars… that wicked ghoulish grin… with no makeup to accentuate the wounds, it was clear that the scars were fresh. The man he had been impersonating had sliced them into the cheeks of an Arkham inmate the way someone once had done to him. The inmate trembling at the Batman's feet was likely innocent of the entire affair. But that did nothing to quell the fury coursing through the Dark Knight's body, the fear shaking through his bones. The Batman picked up the inmate and pressed his throat against the wall with his forearm, choking and terrifying him.
"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU'VE DONE?" Batman bellowed. "DO YOU HAVE ANY CLUE WHAT YOU'VE SET FREE?"
"Please don't kill me!" the inmate squealed, tears pouring down his frightened eyes, tainting with red as they dripped onto his freshly cut cheeks.
The alarms of Arkham Asylum went off. Red Lights were now blinking outside, and the sounds of frantic yells of guards, the cheers of lunatics, and the barking of dogs could be heard. For the first time in history, there had been an escape from the Supermax section of Arkham. The cell door opened.
"Batman!" a doctor yelled, running into the room. "That's enough! He needs medical and psychological treatment and I will not have you violate one of my patients in such an abusive manner!"
"Do you even understand what's going on?" Batman hissed in return. "That chaotic psychopath is back on the streets because of this piece of slime!" He toed the prisoner in the face, and stooped down to his level, looking at him face-to-face. "Now I'm going to ask you this one. More. Time, you worthless sack of skin." There was another pause. The alarms were still buzzing. The dogs continued to bark. "Where. Is he?"
On the steel table, the Joker card was facing up.

Story highlights
- Slovenia calls itself the New Zealand of Europe due to its amazing landscape contrasts
- Attractions include the Skocjan Caves, Lake Bled and Triglav National Park
(CNN)Even among seasoned travelers, Slovenia is not a country whose name is hugely familiar.
It's part of the charm of traveling this pocket dynamo located between Italy, Croatia, Hungary and Austria: visitors frequently get the impression they're the first to discover it.
That could all change thanks to a recent claim to fame -- Slovenia gave the world Melania Trump, the next First Lady of the United States.
Not that it needs the Trump connection to pull in visitors.
Neither Balkan, Mediterranean, nor Alpine, Slovenia is more a cocktail of all three, served with its own distinct twist.
Nowhere in the country is more than three hours drive from anywhere else, yet this compact destination boasts a frankly ridiculous diversity in landscapes.
There's a reason they call themselves the New Zealand of Europe.
The culture and cuisine is as rich and varied as the photo ops, with a largely English-speaking population that's more than happy to engage visitors in conversation.
Here's a look at some of its most beautiful locations and reasons why this may just be the best destination you know almost nothing about.
The starting point for most visits, Slovenia's capital Ljubljana is a picture-postcard pretty city of only 300,000 people.
It's also The European Green Capital for 2016, thanks in part to its wise decision to ban cars from most of the city center, meaning everything can be seen on bike or by foot.
Most paths lead to the "triple bridge" across the Ljubljanica river, while cafés, bars, galleries and boutiques line the waterside as it winds through town.
In summer, locals, students and visitors alike make the most of the late evening sunshine. As capital cities go, they don't get much more laid back.
Skocjan Caves
For a country less than one sixth the size of Pennsylvania, the natural world has been particularly kind to Slovenia.
It's not only above ground that the scenery stops people in their tracks.
The limestone Skocjan Caves are Europe's largest underground gorge, a UNESCO World Heritage site with more than six kilometers of underground lakes, waterfalls and natural bridges.
The Martel Chamber alone is more than two million cubic meters in volume, while the "giants" in the Great Chamber are an astonishing collection of stalagmites and stalactites. For otherworldly beauty, they take some beating.
Going green
With more than 60% of the country covered by forest, there's no shortage of greenery, but the woodlands are also home to mind-blowing diversity.
Fast fact: there are eight indigenous trees found in Finland -- but more than 80 in Slovenia.
Some of these forests are home to the country's 700 or so wild bears, one of Europe's highest populations.
To get there, 10,000 kilometers of hiking trails criss-cross the country. There are also more than 80 natural thermal springs on hand to soothe aching feet.
Barely an hour's drive from Ljubljana -- as are most places -- is the impossibly beautiful Lake Bled.
The 11th-century Bled Castle clings to vertiginous cliffs flanked by the snow-capped peaks of the Julian Alps, but the real show-stopper is the Romanesque tower and church on the rock in the middle of the emerald-green lake.
Access to the island comes via traditional wooden rowing boats called pletna, but thankfully the hard work is done for you.
Even here, there aren't anywhere near the coachloads of visitors attracted by other picturesque landmarks elsewhere in Europe.
Triglav National Park
Bled is located at the fringe of the Triglav National Park, a key attraction of which is the Tolmin Gorges, home to beautiful springs, trails and caves.
Some of their names are disconcerting, not least the Devil's Bridge crossing a deep, narrow gorge. Or Dante's Cave, so named because the 14th-century Italian poet was said to have been inspired by it when creating the hell of his "Divine Comedy."
The aquamarine waters and rapids running through the limestone gorges are breathtaking, while the marble trout seem to enjoy life in their own private sanctuary, safe from anglers.
Glorious food
No visit to a city is complete without checking out a market and Ljubljana has no shortage to choose from.
The fresh produce on display at the Central Market is enough to make a city slicker weep tears of envy, as producers from all across the country come laden with fresh fruit, vegetables, dairy, meat and more.
An even tastier draw comes in the form of Odprta Kuhna or Open Kitchen, a regular summer fixture which brings together up to 40 of the country's best chefs and food gurus in one brilliant al fresco venue.
Quality is everything with a rigorous system to ensure only the very best reaches the thousands of enthusiastic diners, meaning a Slovenian gastronomic legend on one stand could be serving alongside an award-winning Argentinian steakhouse and a fiery Thai curry specialist.
It's set to return in spring 2017.
Lipica horses
One of Slovenia's most well-known exports, Lipizzaner horses have been raised on stud farms since 1580.
Sought-after around the world, notably at the Spanish riding school in Vienna, these white thoroughbred beauties are unmatched for their elegance in dressage displays, thanks to their famous "dancing" feet.
In Lipica on Slovenia's Italian border, riding lessons are available for amateurs with expert trainers, while professional demonstrations show how it's really done.
The gently rolling hills around Brda in southwest Slovenia are dotted with orchards, vineyards and olive groves, so it's no surprise that Italian is heard almost as much as Slovenian.
Visitors cross the border from Italy to pick up local artisanal prosciutto and salami, follow some of the wine trails or visit the castles, villas and heritage sites that characterize this hidden treasure.
The medieval village of Smartno is a big draw, not least for the views that can stretch from Slovenia's highest snow-capped peaks all the way to the warm waters of the Adriatic Sea.
Orange wine
Slovenian vintages aren't common on international restaurant menus, but that's set to change as the country's wine industry continues to surprise global oenophiles with unique blends and varietals.
While "orange wine" may sound like something left over at the end of a party, it's currently one of the most sought-after bottles on the global market.
The color ranges from pinkish through to mandarin orange and amber, while the unusual production process means that apricot and honey are the two flavor profiles.
Winemakers in the Goriska region are happy to open their cellar doors to curious visitors who will doubtless end up toasting their luck in discovering the country in the first place.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
Dozens of crocodiles bred in captivity in eastern India are protecting their endangered counterparts. Newly released into the wild, these giants are scaring away poachers bent on illegal fishing and timber harvesting in mangrove forests in the states of Orissa and West Bengal, reports Reuters. The disappearing mangroves have led to a steep decline in wild croc numbers, from several thousand a century ago to less than 100 in the early 1970s. But the same species has bred well in captivity and is now being used to solve its own problem. "The swelling number of released crocodiles in the wild is working as a deterrent and keeping people away from the mangrove as villagers are more cautious before venturing into the forests," said Rathin Banerjee, a senior wildlife official. "Unlike guard dogs, crocodiles cannot be tamed and are ferocious and can attack anyone in the swamps." . . . Wow. That's innovation. Can we use them against our own bad-boy loggers? --JULIA WHITTY

He has swapped a commute of more than an hour for life on a farm just outside Reading with a 600-head herd of cattle. There is no way that Sir David Bell, the former Permanent Secretary (or "Sir Humphrey", as he himself puts it in a foreword to the Reading University newsletter) at the Department for Education, has become a latter-day convert to "the good life".
Indeed, the farm is owned by his employers – he is now Reading's vice-chancellor – and is run as a commercial concern and for training students. Milking the cows in the morning is strictly off-limits.
What it does do is give him a 10-minute journey to work in the morning and the chance to get a life in the evening if there is nothing official on at the university. "It does involve evening work and you can work long hours," he says, "but it is about involving yourself in the social and cultural side of the university."
It is a little different to being rudely awakened early in the morning to be told of some new national crisis – criminal-record checks for teachers come quickly to his mind – and being expected to "do something".
Sir David was one of four senior officials in Michael Gove's department to resign from the civil service at the same time, fuelling speculation of a rift between them and their Tory or coalition masters. Senior Conservatives were known in the run-up to the election to be questioning whether he was too "New Labour" in his values.
"Tediously, that's still going the rounds: 'Bell pushed out by government minister'," he says. "How many times do I have to say: 'Not true'? [He said it again when being grilled by MPs on the Education Select Committee last week.]
"I told Michael when he arrived that I didn't intend to stay in the department for the whole of the Parliament," he adds. "I was quite keen to do a year or so after the election, though, to help the new Government settle in. The question was what do you do after being a Permanent Secretary – especially if you've still got energy and enthusiasm."
Sir David, who is 53, served four Education Secretaries while he was at the Education department – Ruth Kelly, Alan Johnson, Ed Balls and Michael Gove – and three Prime Ministers – Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and David Cameron. Prior to taking on that post, he was the chief inspector of schools at Ofsted, the education-standards watchdog.
It was during that spell that the notice period for a school inspection was cut down from six weeks to just 48 hours – a reform welcomed by the teaching profession, which had complained of the agonising stress of waiting six weeks in the knowledge they would be inspected.
Now, of course, the boot is on the other foot – the current chief inspector, Sir Michael Wilshaw, would prefer "no-notice" inspections with inspectors just arriving at the school and heading straight for the classrooms. A compromise of a day's notice, though, looks likely.
Sir David's reign at Ofsted is remembered by teachers – dare one say – fondly, as a time when the watchdog and the profession could co-operate with each other. Sir Michael is generally viewed as more abrasive, with his calls to toughen up inspection procedures.
Sir David, though, comes to the defence of his successor. "I have huge admiration for Sir Michael's courage and commitment," he says.
"No chief inspector before him – going back all the way to when Ofsted was first set up – has had such an astonishing track record. It is outstanding." (Sir Michael was the head of an academy in Hackney that had been a failing school but secured 10 Oxbridge places for its A-level students last year.)
"That's a massive asset," he says. On the ongoing controversy over Sir Michael, he adds: "It is very important that the chief inspector sticks to his guns and goes on the evidence. At times, the evidence will draw him to say things that aren't welcome."
He is an enthusiastic backer of the compromise Sir Michael has reached with head teachers over "no-notice" inspections, agreeing on 24 hours. "I don't think it matters whether it's 24 or 48 hours so long as the head has an opportunity to change plans if necessary and be present," he says.
Sir David, though, reckons the timing of his escape from Ofsted to the Permanent Secretary's job was "brilliant". Soon after he arrived at Ofsted, it took over responsibility for checking early-years settings – nurseries and childminders and the like. After he left, social-care and social-services departments were added to the brief.
From his comments, you imagine he might have felt that was a brief too far, although – in an argument we are to return to later in the interview – he believes politically it might be too unwieldy to undo what has been done and just create more turmoil.
He says of the four Education Secretaries he served: "You couldn't have asked for four more different personalities. I had a soft spot for Ruth Kelly. When I arrived there, she was completely overtaken by the controversy over List 99 [the list of teachers banned because of their criminal records – some teachers were slipping through the net].
"Then there was the whole controversy over the Education and Inspections Bill, which seemed to make an enemy out of John Prescott." (It sought to establish trust schools, which would have their own sponsors and thereby loosen local-council supervision of them – very small beer compared with the reforms now being steered through by Michael Gove, which include setting up a network of "free" schools run by parents, teachers and faith groups.)
On the current reforms, he believes Michael Gove did well to seize the initiative early in the Parliament and get his legislation allowing all schools to become academies through before the summer recess after the election.
"I remember at one point thinking, 'Is this going to be seen as highly controversial?', but Michael gave it his very early priority. At one stage it was on the margins as to whether he would get it done. I have reflected and reflected with Michael on this: if that Bill had been a few months later it might have been a very different story. Look how controversial the health-service reforms became."
At present, though, there is controversy over forcing schools to adopt academy status. "You have to be able to intervene if a school is performing badly," he adds. "Labour did that, too."
He believes his move to the vice-chancellorship at Reading gives him back a bit more of the autonomy that he used to enjoy as chief schools inspector. "I'd make a decision and then it could be implemented," he says. "As a Permanent Secretary, it is up to your political masters."
Of course, higher education is the one part of the education jigsaw in which he has not played a major part in his working life up until now – though it was in the Education department's brief when he joined, only to be hived off as a responsibility of the newly created Department for Business, Innovation and Skills.
"My personal preference would be to have one department including further and higher education, although having left there, whether there would be the will for further dramatic change, I don't know. Having said that, I think the university sector actually benefits from the current system because it can get more attention."
His new role at Reading University coincides with a period of expansion at Reading, which is on the verge of opening a new campus for the university in Malaysia. In contrast to many other universities, student applications this year are up by about 7 per cent, despite the rise in tuition fees to £9,000 a year. He has already met Universities minister David Willetts to discuss priorities in the years ahead and suggested he should allow universities to expand to take in as many A-level students with ABB grades as they wish.
That is to happen next year, though he is quick to stress he does not believe that the decision was down to him.
He does, however, obviously know his way around the corridors of Whitehall, which could prove an asset for Reading in the months and years ahead.
Perhaps Sir Humphrey will be visiting his old civil-service haunts sooner than you think.Reuse content

May 25, 2009 at 3:27 pm #1236544
In the past I've used a pump filter and then added electrolyte tabs (Nuun and Camelback) to water…easy.
Now I'm switching to chlorine drops with a Frontier Pro filter.
Have searched the forums – no "hits" on this.
1). does anyone know if the chlorine (household bleach) "destroys" (or otherwise negatively affects) the electrolytes?
2). does the charcoal filter eliminate the electrolytes?
Can I fill up with dirty water, drop in the chlorine and electrolytes, wait, drink through the filter, and still get my electrolytes?!
Thanks!May 25, 2009 at 5:23 pm #1503457

1). does anyone know if the chlorine (household bleach) "destroys" (or otherwise negatively affects) the electrolytes?
No. It only removes organic matter
2). does the charcoal filter eliminate the electrolytes?
It won't elminate sodium, not sure about potassium (but I think it is OK). Anything else in your electrolytes?May 25, 2009 at 8:59 pm #1503513

"Anything else in your electrolytes?"
How about sugars or other carbs? Some endurance stuff is a mixture of electrolytes and carbs — I have always assumed that passing such a drink through a filter that has a charcoal element would not be good. Am I unnecessarily worried?

@rcaffinLocale: Wollemi & Kosciusko NPs, Europe
As Lynn said, a charcoal filter won't strip out everything, but you should assume that some of the carbs etc may well be stripped out.
The simplest solution may be to add whatever after you have filtered it?
CheersMay 26, 2009 at 1:11 am #1503538
>> "anything else in your electrolytes?"
Looking at the label of CamelBak's "Elixir", it's mostly sodium and potassium compounds. I don't see anything that, to me (with a Very untrained eye), looks like carbs.
I don't have a container of Nuun handy.
Very helpful info on the carbs issue though, as I've thought of switching to Hammer (HEED, or another of their products), which does indeed have other ingredients (carbs).May 26, 2009 at 6:42 am #1503553

@rinconLocale: Desert Southwest
As already noted, electrolytes will not be affected by a free chlorine or iodine water treatment.
If you run anything containing dissolved carbohydrates through charcoal it will almost immediately choke the charcoal. Activated charcoal is used in water treatment because it has a very high internal surface area combined with an affinity for many organic compounds. These are adsorbed on the surface area of the charcoal. If you run a solution high in glucose or HFCS through a charcoal bed the adsorbtive capacity of the charcoal will quickly become saturated.May 26, 2009 at 9:24 am #1503583

@halfturboLocale: Northernish California
Right, you do not want to load up charcoal (or any other filter medium) with sugars because you'll quickly create a bacteria nursery. Filter then mix is the needed order.
Also: household bleach?

@sarbarLocale: In the shadow of Mt. Rainier
Get your water, treat for time required, then add your mix. Simple and you have no worries.
Any reason to just bypass the filter and use Aquamira or MicroPur instead? That is the simplest around.May 26, 2009 at 9:54 pm #1503802
Thanks so much to all for, once again, sharing your knowledge so freely!
>> Sarah: Using filter to stop large nasties (mainly giardia) so I don't have to wait 3-4 hrs for bleach. Other reason for filter is the carbon element to eliminate chem. taste.
Thanks again…will surely keep the carbs out of my filter!
Happy Trails

Darcy: The last one
I was feeling sick with apprehension as I approached them - I was so weak that my knees barely carried me, and I didn't feel too confident that my electrical powers would hold up if any of them tried to fight me.
Then again, the lot of them were all crowded together, and no one seemed to be stabbed or decapitated yet - which was a good sign. This was an interesting dream and I didn't want it to be over so soon.
The first one to look at me was a girl who looked as though she'd been expecting to see me there. I stopped in my tracks as the others turned heads towards me. My stomach churned with anxiety. I could see they were all just as nervous of me as I was of them. This made me worry even more – they might take fright and think I was going to attack them. The thought almost made me laugh out loud, despite the tension.
"You must be the last one," said the girl who'd first seen me.
"Yes, you are," added another girl, with pale skin and a Chinese complexion. I got the feeling she wasn't one I should mess with. "And, believe me – you're not dreaming."
My heart danced right to my throat. This was too creepy, and weird. And the subject of the note was niggling in the back of my mind.
"Did you all get notes too?" I asked, though my voice was barely audible, even to myself.
A half-hearted nod was passed through the group, as well as an unspoken question.
There was another girl, who looked significantly younger than the rest of us, who met my eyes for a split second. I could tell she wanted to ask the same question I did… Usually I wasn't brave enough to ask questions in front of a group – usually I'd hide before that situation had the chance to approach me – but right now it was burning too deeply into my core for me to push it away.
"Are we really going to kill each other?" I asked.
More nervous glances. And this time I wasn't sure if we were all on the same wavelength.

BeschreibungThe challenges facing entrepreneurial owner-managers (OMs) in developing countries have never been greater than today. These businesses are typically hampered by lack of technical skills, managerial competencies, and financial resources. Now they compete not only with other businesses in the same street, district, town, region, or home country but also with global companies operating beyond their home market. Within this context, this book acquaints the reader with the challenges faced by OMs in developing countries and the pragmatic, creative approaches these entrepreneurs use to overcome the barriers to their survival and growth. The book presents a 'wish list' of assistance these OMs hope will result through the wise adoption of appropriate policy by their domestic governments. However, many fail to survive the first few years of their struggle for existence. Accordingly, the book presents detailed results derived from a study of small businesses in Sri Lanka. The study identifies factors that contribute to business failure such as the problems of low awareness of support, non-availability of support, and the miss-match between the support available and the support needed.
PortraitDr.Kodicara Asoka Gunaratne is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Management and Marketing at the Faculty of Creative Industries and Business at Unitec Institute of Technology in New Zealand.Born and raised in Sri Lanka he graduated from University of Colombo and thereafter received most of his post-graduate qualifications in New Zealand.

The idea behind Red Bull X Ray is that six pro FMX and six pro motocross riders are teamed up with six junior riders (i.e. six teams of three), giving the junior riders the unique opportunity to learn new skills from the experienced athletes in both disciplines.
Following a day of 'free riding' in their teams, helping the junior
athletes with their all-round bike skills, a fun and relaxed competition took place with the focus being on team effort and helping riders share their skills and knowledge. Teams scored each other on overall impressions across various hits and jumps.
All of the athletes were very happy with the Red Bull X Ray course and enjoyed running it hard. The juniors also showed promising talent, indicating that motocross and FMX are dramatically growing as sport disciplines in Australia.
Local Aussie FMX legend Robbie Maddison, together with Red Bull, initiated last week's Red Bull X Ray event which also ran successfully in 2006. In addition to allowing him to help and share his skills with young up-and-coming riders, Red Bull X Ray provided Robbie with a warm up to the first event of the 2007 Red Bull X-Fighters Series taking place on March 23rd in Mexico City.
The 2007 Red Bull X-Fighters Series is the FMX 'world series' event of its kind, putting the world's best Freestyle Motocross athletes up against each other in locations around the world. Following Mexico, other confirmed events for the 2007 series are Ireland(May), Moscow(June) and Madrid(July).
Aussie Robbie Maddison will be competing in all 2007 Red Bull X-Fighters events.
Overall scorings for 2007 Red Bull X Ray were as follows:
Individual 1st
Team 1st Place
FMX– Robbie Adelberg (AUS)
FMX – Robbie Maddison (AUS)
Motocross – Daniel McCoy (AUS)
Motocross – Mitch Hoad (AUS)
Junior – Jarrad McNeil (AUS)
Junior– Luke McNeil (AUS)

Some trades are difficult for fans to accept, for reasons that have little to do with baseball. The Boston Red Sox trading staff ace Jon Lester to the Oakland Athletics, plus veteran outfielder Jonny Gomes, for the talented outfielder Yoenis Céspedes and a draft pick is one of those trades.
Lester was poised to leave Boston as a free agent at the end of the year, so it was best for the team to at least make sure they got something in return for their No1 starter. Céspedes has the potential to be a dynamic player and from a dispassionate viewpoint, it's probably a no-brainer of a trade. But emotionally?
Emotionally, it's going to take a bit to see Lester, drafted and developed by the Red Sox themselves, put on a different uniform.
It's not just that Lester was a key part of two world champion Red Sox teams. It's not just that he has one of the best records of any left-hander in franchise history. It's not just about the many gems he pitched, including a no-hitter in 2008. It's not just that Lester was one of the first signs that the Red Sox's commitment to players from their own system was starting to pay off.
No, the greatest victory of Lester's career took place off the baseball diamond.
In 2006 the Red Sox called up their best starting pitcher prospect in years, to help a rotation badly hit by injuries and ineffectiveness. The rookie starter from Tacoma showed poise, compiling a 7-2 record while adjusting to major-league hitters. His promising first season was cut short, however, by a routine doctor's visit. An examination for a sore back revealed devastating news: Lester had a form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a treatable form of cancer.
Questions about Lester's baseball future became mere afterthoughts. The hope was just that he would have a future, period.
A year later, on 23 July 2007, a cancer-free Lester made an emotional return to Fenway Park. The Red Sox beat the Cleveland Indians 6-2. Lester would win 102 more games while becoming an advocate for the Jimmy Fund, the children's cancer research charity that has partnered with the Red Sox for decades.
He pitched well during the 2007 regular season, despite often not being able to pitch deep into games. He was rebuilding his stamina, and he only made one start in the postseason. Of course, that start just happened to be Game Four of the World Series. One season removed from a cancer diagnosis, Lester earned the victory in a 4-3 win that completed a four-game sweep of the Colorado Rockies, giving the team a second championship in four years.
He could have retired right there and still have been a Boston legend. Instead, over the last few seasons, Lester was the most consistent Red Sox pitcher. On 19 May 2008, he threw that no-hitter against the Kansas City Royals; he earned three All-Star selections and was the team's opening-day starter from 2011 to 2014.
Of course, no-one – with the possible exception of David Ortiz – can play that long in Boston without attracting some criticism. Lester lost two starts against the Tampa Bay Rays in the 2008 American League Championship Series, and was accused of being one of the contributors to a toxic clubhouse during the 2011 Red Sox's still-inexplicable September swoon. In last year's World Series Game One, against the St Louis Cardinals, he was accused of doctoring the ball.
Even that, however, wouldn't explain how dominant he was in the 2013 playoffs, when he put together one of the greatest postseason runs by any Red Sox pitcher.
None of that will be part of Lester's meaningful legacy in Boston, especially since one of the last images fans have of him will be as part of an emotional World Series parade down Boylston Street, the site of the deadly Boston Marathon bombings. He was there not just as a winning pitcher, but as a symbol of resilience and recovery.
Jon Lester may be playing in Oakland now, but there will be a part of his heart that will always be in Boston.

To get emancipated, you must live away from your parents and be able to financially support yourself.
