How 'Black Panther' Screenwriter Joe Robert Cole Crafted Marvel's Most Complex Villain
E. Oliver Whitney Published: February 15, 2018
52 years after his introduction in the pages of Fantastic Four #52, Black Panther is finally making his solo movie debut this week. Sure, we met Chadwick Boseman's T'Challa in Captain America: Civil War, but now he's getting a proper introduction in Black Panther, and the King of Wakanda couldn't have asked for a better creative team to do the job: Director Ryan Coogler and co-writer Joe Robert Cole.
We all know Coogler as the celebrated filmmaker behind Fruitvale Station and Creed, but Cole will be a new name to many. The screenwriter has a few credits to his name, and even earned an Emmy nomination for the acclaimed American Crime Story: The People vs. O.J. Simpson episode "The Race Card." After graduating from Marvel's in-house writer's program – which also produced alumni including Guardians of the Galaxy and Captain Marvel scribe Nicole Perlman, and Thor: Ragnarok's Eric Pearson and Christopher Yost – Cole was asked by the studio to pen Black Panther alongside Coogler. What resulted is a film that breathes new life into the superhero genre, tackling topics of race and identity in a story that's as fun as it is empowering.
I spoke with Cole over the phone about developing Black Panther. He told me about writing Michael B. Jordan's Erik Killmonger, the most complex MCU villain to date, and why it took this long – 18 movies, that is – for Marvel to introduce its first lead black superhero. I also asked Cole about his reaction to one Black Panther scene that strongly recalls a scene in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, so beware of minor spoilers.
Black Panther has such a long history in the comics. When you sat down to develop this with Ryan Coogler, where did you begin? How much of the comics did you decide to incorporate and how much to make it your own?
Well, we read every run. I think we got inspiration from all of them and we had some themes and ideas, contemporary ideas, that we wanted to explore with the movie. We really used the comics as a place to root us, in some sense, and then to kind of explore our themes within the parameters of that. But there was never any kind of mandate about… an example would be like, changing Everett Ross' character to be a little bit different than he was in Christopher Priest [comics], or that sort of thing. So what we did was, if there were some things within the canon that we felt fit within the parameters of what we wanted to do, then we were able to be inspired and use those things. But the story is one that we tried to tackle on our own.
There's a strong political theme throughout this movie. I'm curious about the decision to bring this story and theme about black identity and politics today into the superhero world.
We started writing it I guess a year and a half ago. There's a dynamic between African Americans and Africans that we wanted to explore and try to figure out how to navigate in a personal way. That was one of the things that our early discussions and throughout, that we were trying to calibrate and figure out within the parameters of the story. So we didn't know per say, that at this moment in time where there's a heightened awareness of some of these things [it] would exist, but I think the issues brought us to want to tackle the kind of, "Am I my brother's keeper?" Some of the thematic issues that were approached or dealt with in the movie in terms of race, those things are not new, those things are centuries old. So the moment that we're landing, happens to be a very heightened moment, which I think is awesome.
The film is so groundbreaking for representation. As a writer, were there things that were essential for you to bring when writing Marvel's first movie with a lead black superhero, and one featuring an all-black cast?
We wanted to ground it in the lens and the voice that we bring to the table. I think there's a hunger for stories and perspectives and lenses on the world that are different and fresh. And I think there's a critique with the kind of a predominant perspective in terms of stories. The thing that we wanted to bring was to pour our hearts into it and come from a place of truth and authenticity to what was important and personal for us. And try to craft this story within the parameters of that.
I love Erik Killmonger. He's such a complex villain, and not the one-dimensional, world-destroying threat we're so used to seeing in Marvel movies.
Yeah. I think the best villains are ones that have a strong point of view, a point of view that people can relate to and even agree with. With Killmonger, it's not necessarily the point of view, but how far you take it that crosses over in the territory of villain. He's acting from a place of pain. And by the end of the movie, I think T'Challa ends up at the same place that he does, but acting out of empathy.
Wakanda is so beautifully realized here. The world is futuristic, but it also feels so grounded in reality. What was your approach to depicting it?
That was a big goal of ours. Something that was very important to Ryan – and to all of us, but him leading the charge – was that we root Wakanda in real-world Africa. And once we rooted there, then extrapolate out with the technology and extrapolate out with the mysticism and things that existed within the canon, but more so existed in the cultures of the continent, and try to root our story in that. I really am proud of how that all ended up landing.
Without too many spoilers, I want to ask you about the last scene, which is strongly reminiscent of the last scene of The Last Jedi. Have you seen it yet?
I have seen The Last Jedi. So wait, the last scene of this? Okay.
Yeah, the final scene before the credits when the young kids are checking out the Wakandan ship, and there's this great sense of hope for these kids as the next generation. The Last Jedi ends with a similar scene; a little boy inspired by these heroes. Did those ideas resonate with you? I'm sure you wrote it before Star Wars came out, but when you saw Last Jedi, was there any connection you made between those scenes?
No. I mean, I don't think that was something where we watched it – I love Star Wars movies, so it's funny. Star Wars sits in a certain place with me and I never even thought about it. No, I don't think so. I don't think that was something. I certainly didn't have a conversation with anyone about the similarity between those scenes. I know with regards to our film, we really wanted to show T'Challa proactively changing the way Wakanda does business, and actually reaching out and, you know, being my brother's keeper for the world. We thought that was an effective way to show it.
It's a nice coincidence that both films end on such a hopeful note.
People like to end on hope, man. [Laughs]
It's incredible to finally have this film in the MCU. In your opinion, why do you think it took this long to have a Marvel movie about a black superhero, and do you think this film will help change that and increase racial diversity across other franchises?
I think historically, obviously behind the scenes, in front of the camera, the opportunity particularly on films of this scope, it has been a limited pool of perspectives, in terms of the stories being told and the people telling those stories. I think the opportunity now going forward, or at least my hope going forward, is that the hunger that exists out there in my opinion amongst viewers for new perspectives, new lenses on the world, new storytelling will keep the demand for movies that, like Black Panther, come from a different perspective. They will keep those movies being made, and those TV shows being made.
I think in the past, there was a belief that movies didn't make money that had minority casts. There were other social issues, obvious social issues that prevented films from being made that had predominantly minority casts. So I think going forward the hope is that this isn't lightning in a bottle where we're trying to recreate what Panther does, but that opportunity for other voices, the opportunity for other perspectives, remains strong. That's my hope at least.

Improving Infrastructure: Push to make higher blends of ethanol for Minnesota consumers
Source: By Currey McCullough, RFD-TV • Posted: Monday, October 17, 2022
Biofuel supporters are pushing for greater availability of renewable fuels, like E15, and Minnesota farm leaders are working to make it happen.
Grants totaling more than $6 million are being awarded by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture to 44 Minnesota service stations to improve their infrastructure to make higher blends of ethanol available to consumers. The funds came from the Minnesota legislature and Minnesota Corn.
"What I'm really excited about is that we're just providing options for Minnesotans to get a higher octane at a lower price that helps the environment. Its really that simple, and Minnesota already leads the nation in E85 and E15 pumps. This is really going to help expand that out around the state," said Minnesota Ag Commissioner, Thom Peterson.
One of the grant recipients is the Super Gas USA station in Burnsville. The funds will help the business add new tanks and pumps to give their customers options at the pump.
Super Gas USA Manager, Mahmoud Hannoon, said, "After we're done with those two phases we'll be able to sell E15 and we anticipate that in 2023, 10 percent of our customers will switch from the regular to E15 and another 5 percent will switch in 2024."
Minnesota's corn farmers have invested in the growth of the state's biofuels industry, investing $30 million since 2008. Minnesota has over 400 service stations that provide blends like E15 and E85…that's about 20% of all the service stations in the state. The additional stations bump that number up to about 30%. Stations pumped a record 87 million gallons of E15 or Unleaded 88 in 2021. The additional infrastructure will likely help keep that number growing.
"Part of the Corn Grower's mission is to improve the quality of life, not only for Minnesota Corn Growers, but for all Minnesotans. When you look at the benefits of blending ethanol into gasoline, we get cleaner air, less greenhouse gas emissions, and lower costs to the consumers," said Gary Prescher, Minnesota Corn Research & Promotion Council.

Rocky basketball teams happy to be home, but Carroll spoils the party with sweep of Battlin' Bears
GREG RACHAC 406mtsports.com
BILLINGS — The Fortin Center sat mostly empty for the first half of this college basketball season — other than the scurrying of workers installing a gleaming new court surface that was necessitated after a broken water pipe damaged the floor.
In the interim, the men's and women's basketball teams from Rocky Mountain College held their own just fine playing "home" games at First Interstate Arena at MetraPark and the Shrine Auditorium, going a combined 13-2.
Returning to their familiar campus confines Wednesday night, the teams played two thrillers against Frontier Conference rival Carroll College, the most dramatic being the Saints' 101-97 win in triple overtime of the men's game.
Carroll's women also prevailed, winning by a 56-54 score.
After weeks playing away from home, Rocky couldn't wait to christen its new court. But Carroll spoiled the party.
Dane Warp and Darius Henderson matched each other shot for shot in the men's game, each finishing with 33 points. Warp's 3-pointer at the end of regulation forced overtime.
The former Havre standout dribbled the length of the court as the seconds ticked away, pulled up from the right wing and buried the shot to tie the score 72-72.
Henderson's 3-pointer from beyond 25 feet in double overtime tied the score again at 91-91 and helped force a third extra session, but that's when No. 9 Carroll took command, as shots by Shamrock Campbell and Jovan Sljivancanin gave the Saints a six-point advantage.
The Bears got back within 99-97, but two free throws by Dennis Flowers III iced the game.
"Rocky's a tough team. Coach (Bill) Dreikosen's always going to have them ready to go," said Warp, who made 11 of 23 shots from the floor and went 9 for 9 from the foul line. "They battled. I'm proud of our guys. We battled."
Of his tying 3 at the end of regulation, Warp said he "was just trying to keep my eyes on the hoop and try to discourage them from fouling me. I came down and tried to get as good a look as I could. I threw it up there and it went in. Got lucky."
Sljivancanin finished with a double-double of 20 points and 21 rebounds. Warp finished with 10 boards.
Henderson was Rocky's go-to man in overtime, and he finished the game with five 3-pointers and hit all 10 of his free-throw attempts. Henderson pulled down nine rebounds. Grant Wallace contributed 23 points.
With the win, Carroll remained unbeaten in the Frontier with a 5-0 mark. The Saints improved to 14-3 overall. Rocky is now 6-8 overall and 1-4 in the Frontier.
Similarly, Rocky's women felt they had let their game slip away.
The Bears came into the day with an eight-game winning streak and appeared poised to keep it intact. Rocky led late but a 3-point shot by Carroll's Kamden Hilborn put the Saints in front 49-47 with 3:33 remaining.
A pair of late baskets by Taylor Salonen also kept Rocky at bay in the final minutes.
What hurt the Bears was Carroll's ability to rebound the ball on the offensive end of the floor. The Saints finished with a staggering 20 offensive rebounds, which kept possessions alive and allowed for second and third opportunities.
"They beat us up pretty good on the offensive boards tonight," Rocky coach Wes Keller said. "You give up that many offensive boards, I don't care who you're playing, it's going to be tough to win.
"I thought their depth played a role in them maybe wearing us down a little bit. They were more balanced. Give them credit. They came in and pushed us around."
Carroll put eight players in the scoring column, led by Christine Denny's 14 points. Denny also had 14 rebounds. It helped make for the team's 3-for-22 showing from beyond the arc.
Though the Saints made the ones that counted.
"We pride ourselves on that — doing the little things and outworking teams," Carroll coach Rachelle Ayers said. "Our shots are not always going to be there, so we've got to find other ways to win games. Tonight I felt like our offensive rebounding and just our defensive intensity in the end maybe wore them down a little bit."
Rocky's Markaela Francis, who averages a double-double per game, had 12 points and nine rebounds, though the Saints keyed on her defensively. Guard Kloie Thatcher, the reigning Frontier player of the week, had 13 points.
Hilborn, in her first season at Carroll after transferring from Montana State at the end of last season, finished with 10 points and six assists.
The former Helena High standout continues to adjust to her new surroundings, and played a key role on Wednesday.
"Our hustle plays were huge for us," Hilborn said. "Girls diving out of bounds, always giving that extra hustle to win the ball back.
"We kind of grinded it out. It wasn't a pretty win, but we got it done."
No. 17 Carroll improved to 12-5 overall and 4-1 in the Frontier. No. 20 Rocky is now 12-3 and 3-2.

The MIST Collection created by Julien Renault and produced by KEWLOX, reinvents in a special collection the storage system of the 50s of this iconic Belgian design brand. MIST is based on the assembly of pieces in a simple and elegant way.
The design of this collection is based on the four corner profiles made of steel. Considered as window frames, the simplicity of the system lies in interior rails on which the tempered glass surfaces are placed. These glass panels allow partial or total closure of the cabinet. Similarly, glass panels generate sliding doors to access content.
The entire structure is made of aluminum and steel in black and the tempered glass allows to turn MIST into a translucent element that lets you glimpse the objects it houses.
The aesthetic line of the MIST collection is timeless and fits perfectly in any space. The versatility at the time of storage makes MIST a very recurring element either in the home or in the workspaces.
The collection consists of modules with one, two, three or four heights, which allow them to be joined together. Its semitransparent appearance allows the division of spaces in a natural and subtle way, allowing the passage of light.

We often think of our spine as being pretty straight. After all, didn't your mom always tell you to stand up straight? Reality is that our spines have a natural curve to them. But some people have excessive spinal curving. This is known as scoliosis.
At DFW Center for Spinal Disorders, we help patients manage their scoliosis.
Scoliosis is a condition of children. The curving usually occurs during the growth spurt before puberty, somewhere between the ages of 9 and 15. This occurs before the bones of the spine have finished growing. The cause of scoliosis is unknown, but the condition is hereditary.
When we examine a patient at DFW Center for Spinal Disorders, this includes a physical examination of the back, shoulders, waist, and hips. We measure the curve of the patient's spine using a device called a scoliometer. In most cases we also perform neurological examinations to evaluate muscle strength, reflexes, and areas of numbness. This is to check to see if any of the vertebrae are compressing a nerve.
From those examinations, we move to imaging tests to determine the severity of the problem and to rule out other potential causes, such as tumors. These imaging tests may include CT scans, MRIs, and bone scans.
Treatment options vary based on the patient's age, gender, location of the curvature, and its severity. Initial treatment may simply be regular monitoring of the patient's condition. We may place the patient in a brace, which usually will impede further progression of the curve.
Once that patient hits puberty, his or her bones have mostly stopped growing, so there is little chance of their scoliosis worsening. For adults with scoliosis, managing the condition may include physical therapy or medication.
Most patients can lead normal, active lives with scoliosis.
If you think your child may have scoliosis, please give us a call at DFW Center for Spinal Disorders, (817) 916-4685.

Q: Io operators, cant seem to create them in a file I've being experimenting with operators in the Io language. Everything works fine in the cli, but as soon as I put my code in files instead, I run into problems.
Here's a tiny example (creating an operator +++ that does the same thing as +)
OperatorTable addOperator("+++", 3)      # Say that +++ should be an operator
Number +++ := method(v, call target + v) # Define the slot +++ on numbers
(30 +++ 40) println                      # Try it out!

As mentioned, this works fine in the cli, but doesn't work when I try to run it in a file. I presume it has something to do with the fact that file has been preparsed, before the operator is defined, but how would I work around that?

A: This is a limitation of the operator shuffler in Io. What happens is roughly this:

*

*Source file is loaded, tokenized (at this stage, no operators are known)

*Operator shuffler runs

*Code is evaluated

Unfortunately for you, you're manipulating the operator shuffler after it's already run.

Column: Woods gets to see and hear how the other half lives
By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer OLYMPIA FIELDS, Ill. (AP) — Tiger Woods arrived at Olympia Fields for the first time in 17 years, this time with no one around to chase after his every move from the moment he stepped out of the car until he walked off the course. That's not a bad thing. He'll be in a red shirt on Sunday with about the same number of people. That's not good, at least not for him. Woods is learning after three tournaments what others have begun to realize over the last three months. Some players thrive on energy from the crowd as a pick-me-up. Now the reaction, the volume, is the same for a birdie as a double bogey. Woods is one of those players who feeds off noise. "Always have," he said. "I've played in front of thousands of people ever since I turned pro 24 years ago. It's always been odd when I haven't played in front of people. In one way, it's been nice between tees not getting tapped or getting a glove pulled out of my pocket. Those are things I've had to deal with for a very long time. "But you hit good shots and you get on nice little runs ... we don't have the same energy, the same fan energy." This is not his issue alone, nor is it the reason he has yet to finish in the top 35 in the three tournaments he has played since golf returned from the coronavirus-caused shutdown. Hitting good shots and making putts goes a long way in any environment. Graeme McDowell was walking along the ninth fairway in the middle of his second round last week at the TPC Boston when he said he felt like a "golf zombie." "It's like I have no soul," he said. The courses are different and look the same. They're empty. McDowell spoke of needing the adrenaline he gets from the crowd around the first tee at a U.S. Open or Ryder Cup. Maybe some players do better with no one watching, especially if they're on edge and need something to calm them down. McDowell isn't one of them. Neither is Rory McIlroy. He played the final two rounds with Woods, as big a draw as there is in golf, with hardly anyone watching. Woods began the final round with four straight birdies and the only buzz came from Twitter. McIlroy knows about ebbs and flows in his game. He once missed four out of five cuts and won three out of four tournaments, all in a span of four months in 2012. But his play since returning to an empty stage in June is worth noting. He had had seven consecutive top 5s, including a victory at a World Golf Championship, and reached No. 1 in the world. Since the return, he has seven straight tournaments out of the top 10 and has yet to reach the back nine with a chance to win. Coincidence? Maybe. Three months off surely cost him some momentum. "This is going to sound really bad," McIlroy said, "but I feel like the last few weeks, I've just been going through the motions. ... And look, that's partly to do with the atmosphere and partly to do with how I'm playing. I'm not inspiring myself, and I'm trying to get inspiration from outside sources to get something going. I can definitely see where Graeme is coming from." That might allow McIlroy to reconsider what he once said about Woods. He played with Woods and Justin Thomas in the opening two rounds at Riviera a few years ago and was amazed by all the commotion around Woods. "I swear, playing in front of all that, he gives up half a shot a day on the field. Like, it's two shots a tournament he has to give to the field because of all that goes on around," McIlroy said that day. "Whoever is teeing off at 8:30 in the morning doesn't get that and can just go about his business. He has to deal with that every single time." McIlroy missed the point. If all that commotion costs Woods two shots to the field, what does it cost the players with him? Right now, nothing. Without spectators, has Woods lost an advantage he once had? "Absolutely," Woods replied. "Anyone who has played in front of thousands of people, it is very different. That's always been one of the things I've become accustomed to. The guys who played with me, who haven't become accustomed to it, they have only experienced one round here and there. That's been every round I've played for over two decades. "That advantage — for me, and some of the other top players — trying to deal with all that noise and the movement, that experience is no longer there." Nick Faldo touched on this when he was discussing the 10-year anniversary of Woods winning the 1997 Masters, a watershed moment in golf. Faldo said that when he slipped the green jacket on Woods that Sunday, he thought the Masters would be the only major he could win. Sure, Augusta National suited his game. "But also because the Masters was the only major that the media was kept outside the ropes," Faldo said. "And I thought that was going to be his biggest challenge. Now it's his greatest asset. Everyone joining him now on the weekend at a major goes into his world. That's Tiger's arena. Other guys will step into that arena one week and go back out. He's there all the time. And good luck coming into his world." It's a new world for everyone now. It's especially different for Woods, not so much for some of the players paired with him. For the less accomplished players who always wondered what it was like to be in his shoes, the absence of spectators has allowed Woods to see what it's like to be in theirs......»»

Fight mars A s 9th straight win, 7-2 over Astros
By The Associated Press Benches cleared and even the stands emptied during Oakland's 7-2 victory over the Astros on Sunday, tempers flaring at last between the AL West rivals months after Houston's sign-stealing scandal was brought to light by Oakland pitcher Mike Fiers. Oakland's Ramon Laureano got hit by a pitch — for the third time in the three-game series — this one by Humberto Castellanos with one out in the seventh. Laureano began exchanging words with animated Astros hitting coach Alex Cintron, then left first base, threw down his batting helmet and began sprinting toward him. Astros catcher Dustin Garneau tackled Laureano before the A's outfielder reached Cintron, and a wild scene ensued. Players rushed out of both dugouts to join the fray. A's and Astros players who were sitting in the seats, observing COVID-19 social-distancing protocols, also rushed onto the field. Laureano was ejected by plate ump Ted Barrett. Oakland won its ninth straight, and Houston lost its fifth in a row. Matt Olson hit a three-run homer in the third and Matt Chapman connected the very next pitch, taking the score from 1-0 to 5-0 on consecutive offerings from Astros starter Cristian Javier (1-1). Robbie Grossman also homered and Mark Canha contributed an RBI single. A's rookie left-hander Jesus Luzardo (1-0) earned his first major league win in his second career start. BRAVES 5, PHILLIES 2, 1st game; BRAVES 8, PHILLIES 0, 2nd game PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Ronald Acuna Jr. homered twice and Freddie Freeman also went deep to spoil Spencer Howard's big league debut and Atlanta Braves completed a sweep of the doubleheader with an 8-0 win in the second game. Acuna also homered in Atlanta's 5-2 victory in the first game. He had four hits in the second game and added his his fourth career multihomer game. The Phillies had waited since the restart to send Howard (0-1) to the mound. Freeman hit a two-run homer in the third for the early lead and Acuna had a solo shot to the opposite field in right for a 3-0 lead. Atlanta's Max Fried (3-0) hummed along against the Phillies until needed to get out of a bases-loaded, two-out jam in the fifth. Acuna hit a two-run shot off Trevor Kelley for a 6-0 lead in the sixth. In the first game, Acuna hit a two-run homer off Deolis Guerra (1-1) and Adam Duvall had a three-run double to lead the Braves. Tyler Matzek (2-0) pitched 1 1/3 scoreless innings for the win, and Mark Melancon worked a scoreless ninth for his third save. INDIANS 5, WHITE SOX 4, 10 innings CHICAGO (AP) — Delino DeShields snapped a tie with a perfectly placed squeeze bunt in the 10th inning to lift Cleveland. DeShields' bunt drove in José Ramírez, who started the inning on second as part of baseball's extra-inning rule for the pandemic-shortened season. Mike Freeman added a two-out RBI single that gave Cleveland a 5-3 lead. Veteran left-hander Oliver Perez got the final two outs following a 46-minute rain delay for his first save. It was just the fifth save of his 18-year career. Phil Maton (1-0) pitched a scoreless inning for the win. Jimmy Codero (0-1) allowed two runs, one earned, in the loss. José Abreu and James McCann homered for Chicago. ROYALS 4, TWINS 2 KANSAS CITY, Mo (AP) — Hunter Dozier hit a two-run single in his first at-bat since testing positive for COVID-19, and prized prospect Brady Singer earned his major league win to lead Kansas City. The Royals won their fourth in a row overall. The Twins lost all three at Kauffman Stadium and have dropped four straight. Dozier hadn't played this season while recovering from the virus. He quickly delivered, putting the Royals ahead 2-0 in the first inning. Singer (1-1) allowed two runs and five hits in five innings. The Kansas City bullpen threw four shutout innings with Scott Barlow closed for his first save. Jose Berrios (1-2) went 5 1/3 innings giving up four runs. He allowed Maikel Franco's leadoff homer in the sixth. RANGERS 7, ANGELS 3 ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Los Angeles Angels right fielder Jo Adell was charged with a rare four-base error when a fly ball from Texas' Nick Solak popped out of the rookie's glove and flew the few remaining feet over the fence in the Rangers' win. The play was initially ruled a home run for Solak, but the official scorer changed it to an error after consulting with the Elias Sports Bureau. Texas completed a three-game sweep as Lance Lynn (2-0) earned his 100th career win, losing a shutout on Tommy La Stella's two-run homer in the fifth. Shin-Soo Choo capped a four-run fourth with a two-run single that chased Angels starter Andrew Heaney (1-1). Rougned Odor ended an 0-for-18 skid with an RBI single for the first run in the fourth. BREWERS 9, REDS 3 MILWAUKEE (AP) — Christian Yelich homered, tripled and drew a bases-loaded walk Milwaukee got its first home victory. The Brewers avoided falling to 0-5 at home for the first time since 1970, the franchise's inaugural season in Milwaukee. Justin Smoak broke out of a slump and delivered hits from each side of the plate during a six-run rally in the sixth that put the Brewers ahead for good. Milwaukee poured it on in the seventh with back-to-back homers from Keston Hiura and Yelich. Sonny Gray (3-1) gave up three hits to the Brewers' first four batters of the sixth and left with the score tied and runners on the corners with one out. Michael Lorenzen replaced Gray and didn't retire any of the four hitters he faced as the Brewers eventually built a 7-2 lead. Brent Suter (2-0) earned the win with two innings of shutout relief. METS 4, MARLINS 2 NEW YORK (AP) — Jacob deGrom dodged trouble for five innings, rookie Andrés Giménez had three hits and scored three runs, and New York won a home series for the first time this season. DeGrom (2-0) allowed two runs and seven hits, marking the 25th time in his past 27 starts he permitted three runs or fewer. Jesus Aguilar hit a two-run homer in the fifth for the Marlins, who lost their second straight after getting off to a 7-1 start despite 18 players testing positive for the coronavirus. Seth Lugo tossed a scoreless ninth for his third save. Pablo Lopez (1-1) allowed three runs — two earned — and five hits in five innings. RED SOX 5, BLUE JAYS 3 BOSTON (AP) — Mitch Moreland hit two home runs, including a walk-off shot over the Green Monster to lead Boston. Xander Bogaerts drew a two-out walk from Thomas Hatch (0-1) to set up Moreland's game-winner. Matt Barnes (1-1) pitched a scoreless ninth to get the win. The Blue Jays now head to Buffalo, New York, where they'll play their remaining home games at the site of their Triple-A affiliate across the Niagara River from Canada. Rafael Devers also homered for the Red Sox. RAYS 4, YANKEES 3 ST. PETERSURG, Fla. (AP) — Michael Perez had an RBI single with two outs in the ninth inning to lift Tampa Bay. Mike Brosseau started the ninth with a double off Zack Britton (0-1) but was thrown out at third on Brandon Lowe's grounder. Lowe advanced to second on a wild pitch before Manuel Margot walked. After both runners advanced on Willy Adames grounder to first, Perez lined a single to right as the Rays took three of four from the AL East leaders. Brosseau and Lowe both homered in the seventh, when the Rays tied it at 3. Ryan Thompson (1-0) worked a perfect ninth for his first major league win. TIGERS 2, PIRATES 1 PITTSBURGH (AP) — Spencer Turnbull pitched seven strong innings and Miguel Cabrera singled home the tiebreaking run in the eighth for Detroit. Cabrera's single to left-center field off Richard Rodriguez (0-1) scored Jonathan Schoop, who was hit by a pitch with two outs and took second on a wild pitch. Turnbull (2-0) allowed only one run and five hits while striking out four and walking two. Buck Farmer pitched a scoreless eighth inning and Joe Jimenez retired the side in order for his fifth save. PADRES 9, DIAMONDBACKS 5 SAN DIEGO (AP) — Dinelson Lamet was brilliant in taking a no-hitter into the seventh inning and Fernando Tatis Jr. continued his remarkable power surge with a two-run homer off winless Madison Bumgarner, who allowed four of San Diego's club-record six long balls as the Padres beat Arizona. Manny Machado homered twice off Bumgarner. Wil Myers, Francisco Mejia and Ty France also went deep for San Diego. Lamet (2-0) had allowed only one baserunner, on a hit by pitch, until Kole Calhoun homered leading off the seventh. The right-hander struck out 11 and walked none in 6 2/3 innings. The Padres remain the only major league team without a no-hitter, having played 8,154 games since 1969 without one. With the Padres leading 9-1, Diamondbacks catcher Carson Kelly pitched a scoreless eighth. Bumgarner (0-3) has struggled with the Diamondbacks, who gave him an $85 million, five-year contract in December after he spent a decade with the San Francisco Giants, helping them win three World Series titles in five seasons. He allowed six runs and five hits in two innings. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said the 31-year-old lefty exited after experiencing back spasms. DODGERS 6, GIANTS 2 LOS ANGELES (AP) — AJ Pollock and Mookie Betts each hit a three-run homer to rally Los Angeles past San Francisco. The Dodgers have won nine of 12, and they took two of three in the series from their NL West rivals. Their 29 long balls lead the majors. With the Dodgers trailing 2-0, Cody Bellinger singled off Giants starter Kevin Gausman with one out in the seventh inning and Justin Turner followed with a single off submariner Tyler Rogers (1-3). Max Muncy took a called third strike, but Pollock sent a full-count pitch to left-center for his fourth homer and a 3-2 lead. Betts' shot in the eighth made it 6-2. Jake McGee (1-0) got the win with a hitless inning. Mike Yastrzemski had a two-run single in the fifth for the Giants. MARINERS 5, ROCKIES 3 SEATTLE (AP) — Justus Sheffield pitched six shutout innings for his first major league win, Dylan Moore hit a two-run homer and Seattle slowed down Colorado. Sheffield (1-2) gave up four hits without a walk and struck out seven in his longest stint this season. He worked his way out of a jam with a strikeout to end the fifth, then sat down two more Rockies in the sixth before reaching his pitch limit. Charlie Blackmon extended his hitting streak to 13 games with a first-inning double for Colorado. The loss snapped a three-game win streak for the Rockies, who had won seven of eight in August -- including two straight over the Mariners. Colorado starter German Marquez (2-2) allowed six hits in seven innings......»»
Rays hold Yankees to 2 hits in 1-0 win
By The Associated Press ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Pinch-hitter Michael Perez hit a sacrifice fly in the eighth inning on his 28th birthday, six Tampa Bay pitchers combined on a two-hitter and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the AL East-leading New York Yankees 1-0 on Friday night. Yoshi Tsutsugo drew a leadoff walk from Adam Ottavino (2-1) in the eighth and went to second with one out when Kevin Kiermaier walked. Both runners advanced a base on a wild pitch before Perez put the Rays up 1-0 on his fly to center. Chaz Roe (2-0) went the final two innings for the win. Masahiro Tanaka allowed one hit and struck out five over five innings, retiring his final 13 batters after giving up a first-inning single to Yandy Diaz. The Yankees' right-hander needed just 59 pitches in his second start after beginning the season on the concussion list after being struck in the head by Giancarlo Stanton's liner during a July 4th summer camp simulated game. Three New York pitchers also limited the Rays to just two hits. MARLINS 4, METS 3 NEW YORK (AP) — Francisco Cervelli hit a three-run homer, Humberto Mejia impressed in his abbreviated major league debut and Miami kept up its surprising surge. The Marlins won their sixth in a row and improved to 7-1 — they're 5-0 since missing more than a week because of the team's coronavirus outbreak. Cervelli waved and pointed to the imaginary fans in the seating areas after hitting his second homer of the season. Jonathan Villar added an RBI double in Miami's four-run second. Dominic Smith homered for the Mets, who have lost seven of nine. New York scored its other runs in the eighth on a throwing error by third baseman Brian Anderson and RBI single by J.D. Davis. Stephen Tarpley (2-0) pitched two innings for the win. Nick Vincent escaped a bases-loaded jam in the eighth and finished for his first save since 2016 with Seattle. Michael Wacha (1-2) allowed four runs and six hits in five innings. WHITE SOX 2, INDIANS 0 CHICAGO (AP) — Dylan Cease worked his way through five shutout innings, and the Chicago White Sox beat Aaron Civale and Cleveland. Cease walked the leadoff man four times and hit a batter, but wiggled out of trouble each time. The right-hander allowed two hits and struck out four. The Indians went 1 for 8 with runners in scoring position and left 10 runners on base, continuing a season-long problem and wasting a terrific start by Civale. They had won three in a row. Civale (1-2) allowed five hits, struck out five and walked one in seven innings. Cleveland played without manager Terry Francona and hitting coach Ty Van Burkleo. Francona missed his sixth straight game while addressing a gastrointestinal issue he has been dealing with for months. The team announced before the series opener that Van Burkleo had opted out of the 2020 season because of the coronavirus. RED SOX 5, BLUE JAYS 3 BOSTON (AP) — Alex Verdugo hit two solo homers over the Green Monster, Mitch Moreland had a two-run shot and Boston's beleaguered staff rebounded to lift the Red Sox past Toronto. Verdugo also robbed Travis Shaw of a homer with a leaping grab and Moreland had a bases-loaded walk to help Boston win its second straight following a four-game losing streak. Cavan Biggio hit a solo homer, and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette each had an RBI double for Toronto, which has dropped five of six. Moreland's homer sailed just over the 380-foot sign at the edge of the Blue Jays' bullpen in right off starter Tanner Roark (1-1) in the third inning for his fourth homer. Reliever Heath Hembree (2-0) got three outs for the victory and Brandon Workman the final three for his third save. ROYALS 3, INDIANS 2 KANSAS CITY, Mo, (AP) — Ryan McBroom hit a go-ahead homer in the sixth inning and Kansas City held Minnesota to a pair of solo homers. Nick Heath and Nicky Lopez also drove in runs for the Royals, who have won two straight after a six-game slide. Jakob Junis served up homers to Byron Buxton and Marwin Gonzalez before leaving with two outs in the fifth inning, and Greg Holland (2-0) led four relievers in holding down the Twins the rest of the way. Trevor Rosenthal retired the final three batters in order for his second save. Matt Wisler (0-1) served up McBroom's homer as Minnesota lost a one-run game for the second consecutive night. REDS 8, BREWERS 3 MILWAUKEE (AP) — Trevor Bauer turned in another stellar outing, and Matt Davidson and Nick Castellanos homered to lead Cincinnati. Bauer (2-0) gave up three hits and one run in six innings while striking out 12. The Reds scored six runs in the second off Milwaukee starter Eric Lauer (0-1), ending a 24-inning scoring drought. Cincinnati had pushed across three runs before Davidson's three-run homer, his first of the season, which barely cleared the wall in center field. The Reds (6-8) lost 13-0 to Cleveland on Thursday night, failing to score in the last 23 innings of the home-and-home series. PADRES 3, DIAMONDBACKS O SAN DIEGO (AP) — Zach Davies retired the first 13 Arizona batters, Fernando Tatis Jr. hit a leadoff homer and rookies Jake Cronenworth and Edward Olivares also went deep to lead San Diego. Davies (2-1) took a perfect game into the fifth before giving up consecutive one-out singles to Eduardo Escobar and David Peralta. He got out of the jam by retiring the next two batters on popups. Davies allowed three singles in 5 2/3 innings, struck out six and walked none. Four relievers finished the combined four-hitter for San Diego's first shutout. Kirby Yates pitched the ninth for his second save in two chances. Luke Weaver (0-3) went only three innings, allowing two runs and two hits with three strikeouts and one walk. TIGERS 17, PIRATES 13, 11 INNINGS PITTSBURGH (AP) — Niko Goodrum drove in five runs, two on a double in a big 11th inning that sent Detroit past Pittsburgh. Both teams finished with 16 hits, surprising since each club had four players in the starting lineup batting under .190. Those numbers soon changed as Detroit played its first game in five days. Erik Gonzalez drove in six runs. He homered, doubled and singled twice as Pittsburgh lost for the eighth time in nine games and fell to 3-11. It was 12-all after nine innings and Jeimer Candelario broke a 13-all tie with an RBI single in the 11th. Austin Romine singled home another run and Goodrum capped the inning with his line drive to right field. Candelario finished with three hits and three RBIs. Rookie Bryan Garcia (2-0) got the win despite giving up the 10th-inning run. Dovydas Neverauskas (0-2) allowed all four runs in the 11th. ATHLETICS 3, ASTROS 2, 13 INNINGS OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Marcus Semien singled home the winning run in the bottom of the 13th to lift Oakland to its seventh straight win in a game that matched the longest this season with baseball's new extra-innings rule. Alex Bregman hit an RBI double in the top of the 13th inning only for the A's to tie it on Austin Allen's single in the bottom half against Cy Sneed (0-2). J.B. Wendelken (1-0) worked three strong innings and the A's finally delivered after squandering bases-loaded chances in the 10th and 12th. Houston lost its third straight. The Astros were supposed to visit Oakland months ago in late March for their first road trip of 2020 after a sign-stealing scam that blemished baseball during the offseason. Coronavirus delayed the Bay Area trip. Robbie Grossman hit a tying homer in the seventh and Gold Glove third baseman Matt Chapman made a terrific stop on Jose Altuve's sharp grounder to keep the game tied in the 10th. ROCKIES 8, MARINERS 4 SEATTLE (AP) — Daniel Murphy had a key two-run single and later hit a two-run home run, Garrett Hampson and Charlie Blackmon added solo shots, and Colorado won for the sixth time in seven games. Murphy's hit with two outs in the sixth ended the night for Seattle starter Yusei Kikuchi (0-1) and gave Colorado a 4-1 lead. Colorado then feasted on Seattle's shaky bullpen. Hampson hit his first home run of the season with two outs in the seventh, and Blackmon led off the eighth with his third long ball. Murphy capped his night lining the first pitch from reliever Yohan Ramriez into the right-field seats with one out in the eighth. Colorado starter Antonio Senzatela (3-0) threw six strong innings, allowing two earned runs and struck out five. DODGERS 7, GIANTS 2 LOS ANGELES (AP) — Mookie Betts homered for the first time at Dodger Stadium, and Max Muncy, Will Smith and Edwin Ríos went deep to lead Los Angeles. The Dodgers have won three in a row and eight of 10. Betts was back in the lineup for the first time since injuring his left middle finger last Sunday in Phoenix. He didn't waste any time, doubling in his first at-bat. He homered into the left-field pavilion in the third, tying the game 1-all. Two batters later, Justin Turner's RBI single gave Los Angeles the lead for good, 2-1. The Dodgers pummeled Jeff Samardzija in the fourth. Muncy homered to the right-field pavilion leading off. Smith slugged his second homer of the season — both against the Giants — that eluded a leaping Darin Ruf in left field, extending the lead to 5-1. Samardzija (0-2) struggled again in the fifth, and was pulled after loading the bases with no outs. Samardzija was charged with six runs (five earned) and seven hits in four-plus innings. Dylan Floro (1-0) got the victory, giving up one hit in one inning with two strikeouts. RANGERS 4, ANGELS 3 ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Mike Trout homered again on his birthday, but Robinson Chirinos drove in two runs without a hit and Texas snapped a three-game losing streak. Trout turned 29, and homered for the fifth time in the seven big league games he has played on his birthday. The three-time AL MVP put the Angels up 2-0 in the first with his 444-foot drive over their bullpen in left-center. Chirinos had a sacrifice fly in the second inning, then walked with the bases loaded as part of a three-run fourth when the Rangers went ahead to stay when all of those runs were unearned. Jordan Lyles (1-1), one of three offseason additions to the Rangers rotation, struck out five in 5 1/3 innings. Rafael Montero, activated from the injured list earlier in the day, worked a perfect ninth for his first career save capped by Trout's game-ending strikeout. Angels starter Griffin Canning (0-2) threw more balls (45) than strikes (43) while walking six batters in 3 2/3 innings. ORIOLES 11, NATIONALS 0 BALTIMORE (AP) — Even Chris Davis got in on the act for the suddenly slugging Orioles, doubling his season total by collecting two of Baltimore's 19 hits and raising his average from .087 to .143 in a big win over Washington. Seven of the Orioles' nine starting position players each got at least a pair of hits. José Iglesias led the way by going 4 for 4 with three RBIs, and Renato Núñez added a three-run homer to back left-hander Tommy Milone (1-1), whose six-inning outing was the longest by an Orioles pitcher this year. Milone, who was drafted by the Nationals in 2008 and briefly pitched for them in 2011 and 2018, allowed just three hits and didn't walk anyone. The Orioles were coming off getting swept in four games at home by the cobbled-together, coronavirus-struck Miami Marlins. But after scoring a grand total of once through the first three games of that series, Baltimore put up seven runs in the finale Thursday, then kept on swinging well Friday against the reigning World Series champion Nationals and starter Aníbal Sánchez (0-2)......»»

I had a brain surgery in 2001 to remove a benign cyst in the third ventricle of my brain. I did not know one has a third ventricle! Unfortunately, I suffered a seizure 3 months after surgery on the first day I worked a full 7 hour shift. I was devastated after recovering so well from the surgery. I felt that my brain was really not working well and that it showed visibly to others. I was afraid they would not take me seriously due to my compromised brain ability.
Losing my driver's license was another blow to my self esteem as I was now reliant on someone giving me a ride to work or taking the bus. Bob had helped my daughter before when she had had a traffic accident and I had spoken to him a few times about her erratic behaviour after the accident. I recognized that I needed some therapy and felt comfortable dealing with a someone I knew at that point.
I Found him very personable and easy to talk to. He made me relax, worked with me on using focusing and memory training on a computer which helped me to focus and improve my cognitive skills. I also regained confidence that my brain still worked! and that I was still capable of doing my job as a library assistant. There were many days when I felt as though I was walking in a fog. Bob had me wear a cap with sensors to clear' the foggy brain. What a difference that made and a relief too!
He used biofeedback and neurofeedback long before most people had heard of it to identify what was going on with my brain and nervous system in general. I have referred some acquaintances and friends to Bob over the past years and would unreservedly suggest that anyone with similar issues consult with him.


Please be prepared for all weathers as we will be outside for the majority of the time. Warm clothing, a waterproof jacket and boots are advisable.
Do you have smaller guns for ladies or children?
Yes we do. I have a number of 20-bore and 410 shotguns to enable children as young as 10 years old to have a go at shooting.
Will clay pigeon shooting hurt my shoulder?
We use the lightest load cartridge (21 grams) to minimise any recoil from the gun.

Rainbow and Brown Trout are lovely to eat and you will be able to take your fish home in a bag ready for supper or a barbecue.
Do I need to have a shotgun certificate to enable me to shoot?

Q: PING Kali Linux Okay. So, I just installed Kali Linux 2018.1 on my computer as the host operating system. And I have a wired internet connection. So, I opened the terminal to use ping yahoo.com and I get this:
PING yahoo.com (72.30.35.10) 56(84) bytes of data

And after that... nothing. The cursor keeps blinking and nothing happens. I waited for 15 minutes but nothing else comes up. I tried typing other commands like cls exit but they don't even respond. Then, as I typed Ctrl + C to end, I got:
^C
--- kali.org ping statistics ---
213 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 217095ms

At first I thought maybe I am not connected to the internet but that's not case because I'm using Firefox on my Kali OS to write this question.
So, can anyone please tell me that I am doing wrong here... quick?

A: try this
systemctl stop firewalld

then, do this to see if any extra rules blocking anything
iptables -nL

check out other commands such as traceroute and mtr, arp if needed.
Of course you set firewall and things back to what they were.
systemctl start firewalld

You can also switch back to iptables if you are familiar with firewalld yet.


Family First NZ says that attempts to allow drug use and drug testing at music festivals is flawed and dangerous, and is being used by drug-friendly groups and a government apparently soft-on-drugs as a wedge for the normalisation of drug use.
"Having drug-free music festivals is not a 'hardline' approach as foolishly claimed by the Greens – it's a health and safety approach based on best practice. Drug overdoses are a huge concern, and testing won't protect users because there is no such thing as a safe drug," says Bob McCoskrie, National Director of Family First NZ.
Drug-Free Australia has provided research showing that according to the medical literature the accelerating number of Australian deaths from ecstasy are mostly not from overdosing, nor, according to coroners' reports, are they due to impurities in party pills – but rather from individual reactions to drugs. A group of friends can all ingest the same amount but only one might die This was precisely the case with Anna Wood, who took the same amount as her friends, but only she died.
NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian said the government will shut down the Sydney dance music festival Defqon.1 after two people died and another three were left critically ill after the event in September.
Three deaths in Melbourne in January 2017 were due to other drugs 4-FA and 25C-NBOMe in ecstasy pills, but Victorian Police said that normal pill testing would not have helped.


Most people consider body fat a bad thing. While it's true that too much body fat is unhealthy, so is too little. When you lose weight, be sure to only lose unneeded fat. Your body mass index tells you if you're carrying extra, unneeded fat. If you are, make some lifestyle changes and get your BMI into the normal, healthy range.
Body mass index is a measure of your weight relative to your height. Calculate your BMI by dividing your weight in pounds by your height in inches squared, then multiply the quotient by 703. For example, if you are 63 inches tall and weigh 190 pounds, you would square 63 to get 3,969. You would then divide 190 by 3,969 to get 0.048. Finally, you would multiply 0.048 by 703 to get your BMI of 33.74.
Compare your BMI to recommended levels to see if you should lose weight. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a person with a normal weight has a BMI in the range of 18.5 to 24.9. Anything below 18.5 is considered underweight. If your BMI is in the range of 25 to 29.9 you are considered overweight. A BMI of 30 classifies you as obese. You should only attempt to lose weight if you are overweight or obese.
To lose weight, you need to have a caloric deficit -- meaning that you need to burn more calories than you consume. If your calorie intake is the same as the amount of calories that you burn, you will maintain the same weight and if you take in more calories than your burn, you will gain weight. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it takes a deficit of about 3,500 calories to lose 1 pound of fat. To lose 1 to 2 pounds of fat per week, cut your calorie intake back by 500 to 1,000 per day. The calories that you do take in should come from healthy sources such as fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean meats, nuts and beans.
Increasing your activity level increases the number of calories that you burn -- making it easier to create a caloric deficit than with diet alone. The Weight-Control Information Network recommends that you get 60 minutes of exercise per day, at least four days a week to lose weight. It also recommends that you include both strength training workouts, such as weight-lifting, and aerobic exercise, such as running, in your routine.

The emotional heart of the tale lies with Joe Rantz, a teenager without family or prospects, who rows not only to regain his shattered self-regard but also to find a real place for himself in the world.

The #1 New York Times–bestselling story about the American Olympic rowing triumph in Nazi Germany—from the author of Facing the Mountain. For readers of Unbroken, out of the depths of the Depression comes an irresistible story about beating the odds and finding hope in the most desperate of times—the improbable, intimate account of how nine working-class boys from the American West showed the world at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin what true grit really meant. It was an unlikely quest from the start. With a team composed of the sons of loggers, shipyard workers, and farmers, the University of Washington's eight-oar crew team was never expected to defeat the elite teams of the East Coast and Great Britain, yet they did, going on to shock the world by defeating the German team rowing for Adolf Hitler. The emotional heart of the tale lies with Joe Rantz, a teenager without family or prospects, who rows not only to regain his shattered self-regard but also to find a real place for himself in the world. Drawing on the boys' own journals and vivid memories of a once-in-a-lifetime shared dream, Brown has created an unforgettable portrait of an era, a celebration of a remarkable achievement, and a chronicle of one extraordinary young man's personal quest.

It was the 1930s, at the height of the Great Depression and the dawn of the Nazi party's ascendance to power, and the school had never been able to beat the Ivy League teams, but coach Al Ulbrickson had big ambitions—he just needed the right athletes. Over the next few years, the boys of the UW rowing team endured grueling days of training and countless setbacks. In the end, it was their collective dedication that brought them to compete in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin—and beat the team rowing for Adolf Hitler. A New York Times bestseller and the inspiration for the PBS documentary The Boys of '36, Daniel James Brown's The Boys in the Boat is a celebration of the human spirit and a compelling biography of a unique rowing team that brought home Olympic gold. The summary and analysis in this ebook are intended to complement your reading experience and bring you closer to a great work of nonfiction.

Daniel James Brown's The Boys in the Boat tells the true story of overcoming the insuperable and achieving the improbable. Brown's story recounts the glorious triumph of the nine American boys who revealed the face of true grit to the entire world during the 1936 Berlin Olympics. The University of Washington's eight-oar rowing team composed of boys from middle-class families: sons of farmers, shipyard workers, and loggers.

Author: Cait Murphy
Beautifully designed and carefully curated, a fascinating collection of the things that shaped the way we live and play in America What artifact best captures the spirit of American sports? The bat Babe Ruth used to hit his allegedly called shot, or the ball on which Pete Rose wrote, "I'm sorry I bet on baseball"? Could it be Lance Armstrong's red-white-and-blue bike, now tarnished by doping and hubris? Or perhaps its ancestor, the nineteenth-century safety bicycle that opened an avenue of previously unknown freedom to women? The jerseys of rivals Larry Bird and Magic Johnson? Or the handball that Abraham Lincoln threw against a wall as he waited for news of his presidential nomination? From nearly forgotten heroes like Tad Lucas (rodeo) and Tommy Kono (weightlifting) to celebrities like Amelia Earhart, Muhammad Ali, and Michael Phelps, Cait Murphy tells the stories of the people, events, and things that have forged the epic of American sports, in both its splendor and its squalor. Stories of heroism and triumph rub up against tales of discrimination and cheating. These objects tell much more than just stories about great games-they tell the story of the nation. Eye-opening and exuberant, A History of American Sports in 100 Objects shows how the games Americans play are woven into the gloriously infuriating fabric of America itself.
