Planet of Paradise
WRITERS WANTED: All you need to do is create an alien species any kind will do and throw them into the story...look here for more details. Writers can join at any time.
It has been told that there is a mysterious planet of Paradise somewhere in the universe but as of yet no one has been able to find it, though many have tried. All seek to gain the mysterious power it is said to bring.
* Each world will be on another planet just to make things simpler. (no alternate realities or other such worlds) The more information you have about your world or character the better it will be.
* Each person can make as many characters as they want as long as they are within their species but please only make one world per person. We'll throw them all into one universe and see what happens.
* Violence and action are exceptable as well as relationships but please no un-neccesary gore or horror related elements (zombies, ghosts, vampires). Finally nothing should be explained through magic since this is a Science fiction story.
* No killing off another persons main character with out permission. All other minor characters can be killed off just use reason and don't go on any killing sprees. (Please declare main character when you first start writing)
* If you want to write other species feel free to create animals that are native to your planet
* Your characters can be good or bad. At this point it would be nice to get a villian so that we can really get this story moving. Also feel free to have disputes between your own characters as well as have traitors that join other groups if you want (Just remember they still have to be the same species)
Good Luck and have fun!

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - February 28, 1993, New Braunfels, Texas Page4AOpinion Herato-Zeltung Sunday, February 28,1993 Quote of the Day "I love argument I love debate. I don't expect anyone just to sit there and agree with me, that's not their job." — Margaret Thatcher, former British prime minister, 1980. Editorials_MessagesCenter's use of coffin fails to send message of support Time out. Enough is enough. The marketing fraternity seems of late to have developed a morbid fascination with coffins. Taped to a vertical surface at New Braunfels High School is a poster that probably is IO inches wide and 12 or 15 high. The headline on the poster is "Another buried treasure." Then there's about IO inches of empty, black space. Then there's a picture of a coffin. And under the picture of the coffin is printed: "James was a bright student. He wanted to be a teacher... English, science or math. But one day he tried crack cocaine. Now he's history... " OK. Similarly melodramatic is the Comal County Women's Center billboard that hung around for several months and we presume still is. The billboard is, or was, a coffin with flowers on it. Its legend is or was something like, "He beat her 53 times and sent her flowers once." Obviously both those messages work. They had enough impact to generate an editorial in a newspaper. But we suspect we're not the only folks around for whom they are about to begin having a negative effect. Enough is, indeed, enough.Sohn and NBU board deserve high marks for work Showing perception and insight and wisdom and judgement rare in public bodies of late, the New Braunfels Utilities Board of Trustees last week gave Bob Sohn high marks for his leadership of the utility. "The unanimous agreement of the board was that NBU is very well led," NBU board vice president Robert Orr told this newspaper. Evidence of that is widely and readily available. At its most spectacular, it probably takes the form of New Braunfels surface water treatment facility. Completed a year or so ago, that plant makes New Braunfels the only city on the Edwards Aquifer with such an alternative. At its most routine, evidence of Sohn's prudent leadership is simply the fact that the utility operates consistently within its very conservative budget. And at its most visible to you and me, that evidence is mailed to us every month. Though we all probably fuss anyway, our utility bills are significantly lower than are those of far and away the vast majority of our neighbors throughout the state. Yeah, Bob Sohn's doing one fine job. And, for the record, bo's the board. Today's editorials were written by David Sullens, editor and publisher of the New Braunfels Herald-Zeitung.Herald-Zeft ting Published on Sunday mornings and Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons by the New Braunfels Heraid-Zeitung, 707 Landa St., or P.O.

Drawer 311328, New Braunfels, TX 78131-1328 % How do you shatter a 'glassceiling?' Over ginner one night last week, a good friend dropped the phrase, the "glass ceiling." Always alert and informed and truly one of the world's great masters of dinner table conversation, I adroitly asked, "What does that mean?" There were five of us at the table, all relatively intelligent, and we talked about it for a while. Tm still not sure we answered my question, but we "decided" that the "glass ceiling" is a reference to the fact that, though the opportunities afforded women in the world of business today are far greater than they have been even in the not very distant past, they still are not equal to those afforded men. The "glass ceiling" conjures a picture of a woman in today's workplace being able to rise to a certain level and then encountering a sort of invisible barrier. That woman is close; she can see the top spots. But she can't achieve them because of that invisible barrier. That dinner conversation won't go away and let me alone. I'm a man and I run my own newspaper. That's exactly what I want to do. There's no job rd rather have. Therefore I really know not of what I speak. Still, "the glass ceiling" gnaws at my mind, fve tried to think of instances in which thatDavid Sullens "glass ceiling has been shattered. I took the directory of the Texas Daily Newspaper Association and I looked for female publishers. There are 90 Texas newspapers listed. The publishers of six of them are women. Something is wrong with this picture. I don't know the statistics, but I would presume that about half the folks in the world are female. Closer to home, of this newspaper's 25 fulltime employees, 12 are women. And of its six department heads, four are women. But the publisher is a man. rd like to tell you that, in our case, this is purely a matter of my being absolutely the most qualified person in this building to sit in the big office. I'm conceited enough to think that's true. But Tm honest enough to admit that theres at least one woman here who, if I were hit tty a truck tomorrow, could step into my job and do at least parts of it better than I do those parts. And ill guarantee you that if you missed my obituary, you'd never know I was gone because she'd put out at least as good and as healthy a newspaper as I do. I've worked at three other newspapers over the past 20-plus years, and I have at least some insight into the workings of several more. What I just said about us holds true for those — perhaps with one exception — as well * So I must conclude that, at least in my own industry, an industiy in which we perceive ourselves as champions of the rights and equality of all, "the glass ceiling" does, indeed exist Then I started trying to name women who are bank presidents. Then I started trying to name women who are... Well, suffice it to say that I have decided that the "glass ceiling" is very, very real throughout our society. Does that bother you? I took the easy way out. I wrote a column. What are you going to do about it? David Sullens is the editor and publisher of the New Braunfels Heraid-Zeitung. eft? ^ wr- NI MIS IM WR! * Love demands the absolute best of others All people are not equal. They never have been equal; they never will be equal. We must all be given an equal chance, but we are not all equal in talent. We all start at the same line in the race. We are all given the same track to run, but all of us won't win. Only the talented and only the disciplined will win. Saint Paul said, "Do you not know in a race all the runners compete, but only one receives the prize. So run that you may obtain it... I do not run aimlessly, I do not box as one beating the air, but I pommel my body and subdue it, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified." What rings true in spiritual growth, reverberates clearly in cultural growth. If our country spends all our resources on the slow, our entire culture becomes eliminated by mediocrity. What about those who can't get around the track? They certainly should be supplied with appropriate food, shelter, education and clothing, but they don't require color televisions, sound boxes and food stamps with which to trade for handguns. Those who deserve food would be helped byJohn Ingram Walker food coops where proper nutritious essentials are appropriately distributed, ensuring the proper caloric intake. To give them luxuries, however, interferes with their happiness and retards our entire society. Eveiyone — except the totally bed ridden — should be mandated to work. All that is required of us is that we run as hard as we can — that we do our very best When all of us do our very best each individual will be rewarded and our society will thrive. Of course, I realize that those with a Marxist's mentality will misinterpret my statements. Love demands that we help others. Demanding excellence involves compassion and empathy. By requiring people to be their best, we help them the best way we can. Coddling people is not love — ifs anti-love. Coddling is anti-love because it says, "We don't believe in you." A young man, raised in a wealthy family was over gratified by his father because his father, who had nothing when he was growing up, wanted his son to have everything. Although the young man graduated from the best college money could buy, he has no skills, no drive, no ambition — no job! The young man's potential atrophied because his father coddled him. Is this love? Another wealthy father from a poor bade-ground expected his son to work, while, at the same time, giving him unconditional love. He believed in his son; he encouraged his son. This young man is developing his talents to the fullest and contributing to society. The fruits of the son reflect the love of the father. If we love others we will demand the absolute best from them. We won't imprison them with over gratification. Dr. Walker is medical director for professional and community education at Laurel Ridge Hospital in San Antonio and Laurel Ridge Day Treatment Center in New Braunfels. Editorial roundup Associated Presa Here is a sampling of editorial opinion from Texas newspapers: The Odessa American on Clinton's foreign policy: So President Clinton, who came into office virtually without a foreign policy, appears ready to send American troops into Bosnia-Herzegovina—the bloody, embattled Balkan territory that once was part of Yugoslavia. Some observers express surprise at this attempt to forge a policy, their jolt coming from reports that somewhere in the campaign trial the then-Arkansas governor said he would not send troops to the Balkans. Other observers, less surprised, remember that candidate Clinton tried to outflank his opponent. President George Bush, on the interventionist side—by criticizing the New World Order's author for inattention to the Balkans. It was reasonable to deduce that a Clinton administration, ever so Kennedylike, would indeed be poised for military adventure, cleansing that region of the monstrosity of "ethnic cleansing."... Somewhere between the Oval Office and Foggy Bottom, these American innocents abroad have flung even more fuel onto the flames by declaring an intention to keep the economic embargo on Serbia, whose genocidal leadership will be able to exploit the material hardships such sanctions bring to the Serbian people. History shows that embargoes don't work; they are formulae neither for making peace nor for throwing off tyranny. If this is a Clinton Doctrine in the making, it is not a reassuring one. • •• Pecos Enterprise on Clinton cuts: President Bill Clinton has fulfilled one campaign promise and that was to cut the White House staff by 25 percent In addition, he has cut out many "perks" — fringe benefits — that members of the White House staff have gotten over the years, all to save money. In addition, Clinton has directed members of his administration to cut expenses in their various departments. His lead is something that members of Congress should follow. Staffs at congressional offices have grown as well as have other expenses. Members of Congress should take up the challenge and live frugally as Americans are being asked to do. A ;

PRESS DIGEST- Canada - July 2
July 2 (Reuters) - The following are the top stories from selected Canadian newspapers. Reuters has not verified these stories and does not vouch for their accuracy.
** Unless Canada makes a lot more contributions to the International Space Station, it could be a while before another Canadian astronaut visits the giant orbiting space laboratory. For the moment, what's clear is that no Canadians will be heading up to the space station before 2017. (bit.ly/1iXcBAK)
** An Amber Alert remained in effect across Alberta on Canada Day as police continued to search for leads in the perplexing disappearance of a five-year-old boy and his grandparents. Nathan O'Brien was reported missing Monday morning when his mother went to pick him up after a sleep-over at the grandparents' southwest Calgary home and they weren't there. (bit.ly/1jIT8i4)
Reports in the business section:
** Canadian retailers are bracing for a fashion fight this fall. Wal-Mart Canada Corp is stepping up its focus on styles of the season at lower price points in a bid to raise the profile of its key George line. At the same time, Target Corp is intent on repositioning its sweet spot of affordable trendy fashions. Canadian grocer Loblaw Cos Ltd is looking to expand its Joe Fresh styles beyond North America in its bid to woo price-conscious fashionistas. (bit.ly/1vvuOFG) Continued...

Justice Muralidhar allowed the plea of a single mother who had sought a direction to Delhi Regional Passport Office (RPO) to do away with the mandatory procedure of mentioning the name of her divorced husband in the passport of their minor daughter.
The court asked the woman, who was divorced in 2007, to file an affidavit before the RPO stating that she will inform the authorities if she marries again.
"If such an affidavit is furnished, the RPO will ensure that the name of the father in the passport of the petitioner (girl) is left blank," the court said.
The RPO, which had not issued the passport, took the plea that as per established rules the name of the father can be ommitted only when the mother of the minor undertakes that she will not marry again.
The Naraina-based mother of two girls had told the court that her husband left her barely four months after the birth of her younger daughter.
The court said in some circumstances, such as passport application of a child by a divorced mother A case where the father has severed all contact with the child or when the father is unknown (likely in cases of birth due to sexual assault), the established procedures can be done away with.

It is something of a judgement day for Glasgow Rangers.
As administrators try to slash $1.5 million from the monthly expenses, several players are set to leave the historic Scottish club. A proposal from players to postpone salaries until the summer was rejected by the administrators and now players are set to submit a final wage-restructuring offer that would result in as few cuts as possible.
Midfielders Gregg Wylde and Mervan Celik have already had their release requests accepted and have left the club. Administrators are doubtful deep enough cuts to wages can be made to prevent further job losses for players and the BBC estimates the total amount of player layoffs could rise to around 11.
A possible source of income for Rangers would be to sell players to countries that have open transfer windows. This includes the USA, Canada, Japan and several Scandinavian countries. Rumors have already begun circulating about American players Carlos Bocanegra and Alejandro Bedoya potentially coming to MLS, with Maurice Edu a good bet to be sold in the summer.
In order to compete in European competitions next season, Rangers will have to emerge from administration by March 31 but officials at the club are skeptical they will be able to meet that deadline.
Here are some more stories to kick off your Tuesday.
Sochaux has fired manager Mehmed Bazdarevic as the French side languishes in last place of Ligue 1 and faces a mounting relegation threat. Sochaux have not won since early November and are five points adrift of safety. The final straw was a 1-1 home draw with mid-table Valenciennes.
Reserve team coach Eric Hely will take over until the end of the season. Bazdarevic was an immensely popular winger for the team in the early 90s but was unable to replicate the managerial success of Francis Gillot, who guided Sochaux to a fifth place finish in 2011.
It remains unclear what the firing means for American forward Charlie Davies, who has made some recent appearances as a substitute for Sochaux since returning to the French club after spending a year with MLS side D.C. United.
A bit of positive news finally emerged from Stamford Bridge as Chelsea announced a new five-year contract for midfielder Ramires. The 25-year-old Brazil international joined the Blues in 2010 during the reign of manager Carlo Ancelotti. Ramires has scored four goals in 21 appearances this season for Chelsea and is a regular first-team starter.
Hamburg striker Paolo Guerrero has received an eight-match ban from the German FA following a violent challenge against Stuttgart on Saturday.
The Peruvian international was sent off in the 54th minute for a tackle from behind on goalkeeper Sven Ulreich. Stuttgart was already leading 3-0 and went on to win 4-0. Hamburg has come out against the length of the suspension but has not decided whether or not to appeal. The club has 24 hours to file an appeal with the German FA. If the eight-game ban stands, Guerrero will only be available for the final two games of the season.
What do you think of today's stories? Do you see the situation ending badly at Rangers? Hoping the Sochaux firing leads to more playing time for Davies? Was an eight-game ban too excessive for Guerrero?
Share your thoughts below.
Air Jordanz
NYRB won't get any of them… they're too far down the allocation list.
It's possible Backe would try to trade up for them (a la Seattle with Montreal for Eddie Johnson).
Chances are, though, somebody ahead would want them more.
Air Jordanz
One additional complication.
Both Boca and Bedoya have already played for 2 teams in Europe this season, meaning they aren't eligible to play for a 3rd.
That said, there might be an exception made since the administration isn't their fault.
I recall what bobby said when i read the article. The article was good and he is correct in pointing out the EU law. Is the issue with these 2 clubs that they are carrying a higher payroll than the income they generate from their fan base, jersey sales & tv revenue? If so, there may be more clubs in trouble in the near future.
B Hoff
I think its actually 8
Howard, Friedal, Guzan, Hannaamen, Whitbread, Ream, Holden, and Dempsey
Correct me if I'm wrong.
You sound like a Yank Abroad guy from 2008. Your anti-MLS BS belongs with other crazies like Wynalda and Tinfoil Teddy. It doesn't work in 2012.
Thank god so many Americans don't kiss Europe's arse anymore with soccer. One day we will have a top flight league. In spite of people like you.
Didn't Vancouver use their USMNT allocation on Nguyen, therefore fall to the bottom of the order?


text: I'me a new owner of an E60 525D and I have rather basic question about the small fin on the rear of the roof. Is it a shroud for a SatNav antenna ? if it is, is the antenna present even if no SatNav is installed in the car or is it just a dummy/costmetic cover.

A glance at this Christmas's cinema books confirms our obsession with celebrity is waning. Out go flash-in-the-pan memoirs; in come directories on studios and franchises.
The BFI's Ealing Revisited (£18.99) gathers academic essays on this most English of studios, emphasising its writers, designers, politics and social conscience to intriguing effect. (A gay reading of Kind Hearts and Coronets feels desperate, though; if the facts don't fit the theory, the theory is probably wrong.) Ignoring the danger of over-analysing small, quickly made films, it is an intriguing and enlightening collection.
Moviebox: Photographing the Magic of Cinema (Thames & Hudson, £19.95) is a jamboree of off-set photographs juxtaposed with such peculiarity that it becomes an intriguing feature: Giulietta Masina next to John Cleese; Jake Gyllenhaal beside Nanni Moretti. The best section is at the end, on cinemas themselves. Somewhat fatally for a book of photography, it is unfocused. Hollywood Unseen (ACC Editions, £40) is a silky monochrome selection of studio shots ranging from superbly natural (Betty Grable) to incredibly forced (George Bernard Shaw and Clark Gable). Shirley Temple says she stopped believing in Santa when he asked for her autograph; these sun-kissed photographs created that demand.
Film buffs take pleasure in the orderly marshalling of facts, in which case The Big Screen by David Thomson (Allen Lane, £25) is not for them. Although loosely based on cinema's timeline, it's an exercise in free association that also manages to be rigorous and rewarding, and a page rarely passes without insight. Thomson finds spirituality in Scorsese, mystery in Spielberg and slipshod irresponsibility in Tarantino. He can be frustrating and myopic, but allow the observer his passions. Astringent, unsentimental film writing is undervalued, and Thomson is its master.
Hollywood Costume (V&A, £35) is an eclectic collection of essays to accompany the V&A exhibition, covering every aspect of dressing the stars from how to define character through clothing to the problems of hunting down sartorial rarities. It's good to see the men getting a chance to dress up, too; chaps may be tempted to fork out for a new whistle once reminded of Tom Cruise's suit in the thriller Collateral.
Total Recall: My Unbelievable True Life Story by Arnold Schwarzenegger (Simon & Schuster, £20) is as brick-solid as its author. Largely concerned with bodybuilding, family and governance, it is notably lacking in candour, and it's hard not to hear the flat prose delivered in a comic accent. Clearly anxious to be liked, the Terminator comes across as egocentric and driven, and although passages are redeemed with flashes of humour, it is an uncomfortable read, as if he's striving to admit more than a legacy-biography will allow. His repeated declarations of love for Maria Shriver merely raise questions that can't be answered; the separation is dismissed in under five pages, and it's hard not to conclude that his calculated plan to become the ultimate American success story fell short, to his obvious regret. Reading between the lines isn't easy when the author is intent on clubbing you to death with charisma.
If there has to be a star memoir this year, let it be a bombshell. The Richard Burton Diaries (Yale, £25) is an addictive, articulate compendium that dazzles and delights throughout its immense length. For a man who drank beyond excess, the entries are forensically detailed, uncynical and unsentimental. Burton's adoration of Elizabeth Taylor shines through, as does a painful awareness of his own failings. I imagine most present-day actors would read this and weep at the level of sheer damned glamour and sexiness flooding his daily life – although his intellect was clearly a handicap, especially when faced with critics who "bristle with insignificance", or someone such as Lucille Ball, "a monster of staggering charmlessness", or when turning in a bored performance "with a ping-pong-no-damned-nonsense rapidity". Quotation is virtually pointless from the diaries of a man so at war with boredom, because every page provides a glittering revelation. It is the cinema book of the year.

After discussing how to create a range in the last post, we will discuss some of the array methods and how to use them to make your code more readable and concise.
First of all, I want to add that every array method uses the callback pattern. We'll do a post on this pattern later, when discussing Asynchronous JavaScript, but for now you need to know that callbacks in these functions are called for every item in the array.
The easiest array method is called forEach and will just iterate over every item in the array.
[1, 2, 3].forEach(function (item) { console.log(item); });
Most people will recognize this method. It iterates over every item and does nothing with the return value you provide. What most programmers don't know is that you have some additional features in forEach.
[1, 2, 3].forEach(function (item, index, array) { this.log(item); }, console);
The forEach function lets you set the functions context (= this, more later) as well. In the previous example I injected console as the 'this' value in callback function.
But beware:
function hasNumber (arr, number) { arr.forEach(function (item) { if (item === number) return true; }); }
While this code might look okay, you must know that JavaScript's forEach is still a callback function. Returning the value true inside the callback won't result in the global function (hasNumber) to return true. You should refactor this code to
function hasNumber (arr, number) { var found = false; arr.forEach(function (item){ if (item === number) found = true; }); return found; }
By using the some-method you will get an even easier result, but more about that in a future post.

WASHINGTON -- Livan Hernandez was as good at the plate as he was on the mound.
Hernandez didn't allow a hit until the fifth inning, took a shutout into the ninth, and drove in a key run with one of his two singles to lead the Washington Nationals past the Florida Marlins 5-2 Monday.
"I like the big games," said Hernandez, the World Series MVP for Florida in 1997. "I'm not the kind of guy that is nervous."
Washington has won three straight games for only the second time in two months, and this streak was built against Philadelphia and Florida, clubs ahead of the Nationals in the tight NL wild-card race.
"What I think they've done the last three days is play the way they're capable of playing," said manager Frank Robinson, who banned loud music, card playing and cell phone conversations from the clubhouse after Washington's last loss. "Their attention is now on baseball itself and not a lot of outside stuff, and it's starting to show up on the field."
The other thing that returned the last three days: terrific starting pitching. John Patterson, Esteban Loaiza and Hernandez allowed four earned runs over 23 2/3 innings.
"They understand the importance of each start now, and each one of them's going out there and raising their game a level or two," Robinson said. "If these three pitch that way the rest of their starts, we have a very good chance of winning this wild card."
Houston beat Philadelphia 4-3 on Monday night and moved a half-game ahead of the Phillies and one game ahead of Florida in the wild-card race. Washington is 1½ games behind Houston, while the New York Mets trail by three games.
Hernandez (15-6) was far more effective than during recent struggles attributed mainly to a bothersome right knee that's been drained during the season.
"He doesn't give you many mistakes to hit. It was just command. He was not throwing 95 mph at you. It was just pinpoint control," Florida outfielder Jeff Conine said.
Marlins manager Jack McKeon said Hernandez "did a great job," but added: "We were swinging at a lot of first pitches and helping him out."
As always, Hernandez was deliberate throughout: slow walks to and from the mound at the start and finish of each inning; a slow, reliable changeup; a jog to first when he hit into a bases-loaded double play to end the sixth.
"I'm not 100 percent," Hernandez reminded everyone.
But there were exceptions: The burly right-hander ran to the dugout after striking out Juan Pierre on an 86 mph fastball to end the top half of the eighth.
And in the bottom half, with Washington clinging to a 1-0 lead and June draft pick Ryan Zimmerman on after a leadoff single, Robinson went to his bench for consecutive pinch-hitters. Brian Schneider was intentionally walked and Carlos Baerga flied out, bringing up Hernandez with two on and two outs.
Time for another pinch-hitter, right? Nope, Robinson didn't even consider it.
"My thinking is: He's in complete control of that ballgame. He's a battler, he's a warrior, and I'm not going to take him out there and interrupt things out there on the field," the manager said. "I just felt like if we went into the top of the ninth ahead 1-0 with him out there, we still had a good chance of winning the ballgame."
So Hernandez, the Silver Slugger Award winner last year as the NL's top-hitting pitcher, poked an RBI single to shallow right off reliever Guillermo Mota to make it 2-0, then pointed toward the dugout with both index fingers while standing on first base.
"He can hit. It's not like you're sending an out up there every time," Brad Wilkerson said.
Marlon Byrd padded the lead with a three-run double, one of his three hits. Washington pushed across its first run on Jose Guillen's single in the first inning -- despite getting three hits and a walk there against rookie Jason Vargas (5-3).
Hernandez went 1-2 with a 6.69 ERA in August; in his previous seven starts, he allowed 10 hits five times, and allowed the opponent to score in the first inning six times. Against the Marlins, who entered second in the NL in batting average at .271, he looked once again like the pitcher who was an All-Star and won 11 straight decisions this year.
"He had it all working today. That looked like Livo from the first half," Nationals catcher Gary Bennett said. "He's throwing anything at any time."
- Nationals 3B Vinny Castilla tossed his helmet along the dirt in front of the dugout after being replaced by a pinch runner in the sixth.
- The Nationals recalled RHP Darrell Rasner from Double-A Harrisburg to start Tuesday.

6 Sonatas from Centone di Sonate Vol. 2
Violin, guitar
Composed by Nicolo Paganini (1782-1840). Edited by Schumacher. Sheet Music. Published by Zimmermann (PE.ZM32270).
Item Number: PE.ZM32270
Sonatas 16-18 (E, A, C)
12 of the 18 sonatas of the collection were released some time ago by Zimmermann in an edition by Susan Bulatoff. Zimmermann continue their series of Paganini works with the two new editions by Kurt Schumacher and thus completes the edition of the "Centone di Sonate". Those "Centone di Sonate" are pieces in concerto form, most of which consist of 2-3 movements which show both instruments to their best advantage. The title "Centone di Sonate" (meaning "colorful bouquet"), however, was not invented by Paganini, but instead the 18 sonatas were divided into 3 booklets named "Lettera A", "Lettera B", and "Lettera C". It is assumed they were composed in Prague 1828-1829. ZM 11190 refers to the first book and ZM 21240 to the second one. The pieces of book "C" are now contained in the books presented here. It consists of a score which is also the guitar part, plus a violin part.

Grant Rohach is listed atop the depth chart for Saturday's game against TCU (3-6), but Iowa State head coach Paul Rhoads said Monday morning he had not decided who would start at quarterback against the Horned Frogs.
"Depending on how this week goes Sam [Richardson] could run out there to be the starting quarterback against TCU," Rhoads said.
Rhoads said the Cyclones will use the week of practice to determine a starter and will not announce a decision prior to the game. Iowa State runs at a quick enough practice tempo to get each quarterback equal snaps, the difference being who runs with the first-teamers and who's with the second-teamers.
Said Rohach, who wasn't told he was the starter and found out he was QB1 on the depth chart via text message from his cousin: "I'm excited for the opportunity. Obviously every week it's going to be a competition for the quarterback spot. All I can control is how well I play."
Although Richardson and Rohach possess similar skillsets and run the same offense, Rhoads believes a veil of secrecy regarding the position can throw a wrench into TCU's gameplan.
Redshirt sophomore Sam Richardson has started every game this season for the Cyclones (1-7), but Rohach alternated with Richardson at Baylor, subbed in for him because of injury against Oklahoma State and replaced a benched Richardson in Saturday's loss at Kansas State.
A redshirt freshman from California, Rohach has completed 31 of 60 passes (51.7 percent) with 250 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions. He averages 4.2 yards per attempt.
Richardson took over the ISU starting role for the final two games of 2012 after lighting up Kansas off the bench with four touchdowns. On the season he is 120-for-217 (55.3 percent) for 1,388 yards, 11 scores and seven picks. He's averaging 6.4 yards an attempt.
Rohach replaced Richardson in the second quarter of Iowa State's 41-7 loss to Kansas State. Richardson has been hobbled by an ankle injury since the season opener. He was knocked out of the Oklahoma State game after taking an awkward hit to his head and neck.
