Blizzard Entertainment announced that The Burning Crusade, the first expansion for the popular World of Warcraft game, has sold
more than 3.5 million copies in a little bit more than a month, following
the North America launch in January. The game sold around 2.4 million
copies the first 24 hours that it was available to gamers -- more copies sold
in 24 hours compared to any PC game’s sales record spanning an entire month.

The WoW user base has reached 8.5
million users worldwide, with the game creeping up on being the world's first
and only MMORPG that has 10 million users.
The sales numbers for the WoW
expansion are large compared to even popular stand alone PC titles from other
companies. The sales numbers should continue to increase because Blizzard
is now | working on localizing content for mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and
Taiwan -- no official launch date has been set. China remains the single
largest market for WoW, so sales
numbers should rapidly increase one the expansion is released.

TORONTO (ICIS news)--Evonik Industries has rejected a media report that speculated the Germany-based diversified international specialty chemicals group will be broken up, it said on Thursday.
“We reject speculation that the group will be broken up,” spokeswoman Barbara Muller told ICIS news.
She was commenting on a report by Financial Times Deutschland that Evonik had hired investment bank JP Morgan to | review its portfolio as it was considering breaking up the group, retaining its chemicals business but shedding the energy and real estate divisions.
Muller said that Evonik, with the support of JP Morgan, was performing a portfolio analysis on all its activities. However, this was a routine exercise required of any good management organisation, she stressed.
“We are examining what our essential value-drivers are and how these can be developed over the long run,” she said.

Firmware 3.01 on the way

Dee-troit Tigers manager Jim Leyland (who has received his fair share of slings and arrows from my partner) is actually happy with his job and interested in staying on. The good people at The Big Tilde, the awkward Magglio Ordoñez fanboy blog, stole these words from Peter Gammons Insiders Only blog:
There are rumblings that the Tigers may have to lop $40 million off their payroll before the beginning of the season. But on Tuesday, manager Jim Leyland let it be known to upper management that he'd like his contract extended through 2010, and says "I'd like to manage another five years."
Jim Leyland is surprisingly just 63 years old. This is news to someone like me who thought he was already 63 when the Pirates lost three straight NLCSes sixteen years ago.

Still, reading this short news item from last year may | prove us all wrong:
Leyland closed out pregame batting practice on Sunday afternoon by grabbing a bat and taking a round. He received applause from Tigers fans in attendance when he sent a fly ball into left field, and he tipped his cap in response on his way off the field.

Many of us, in response to being told that being abused as children was not our fault, respond with the line, “…But I never told anybody?”.

As an older teen or adult, it is very easy to look back and think of all the missed opportunities for when we could have broken the silence.

Heat’s James says SI Sportsman of the Year award is ‘huge’
By Ben Golliver
LeBron James was named Sports Illustrated’s 2012 Sportsman of the Year on Monday, capping off a year that saw him win his first NBA title, MVP and Finals MVP awards, and an Olympic gold medal.
His selection raised all sorts of questions. Has he lived up to the hype? Has he reached his peak? What’s next? The Point Forward endeavored to provide answers to those and a few others. One obvious question we couldn’t attempt to answer: How does it feel to receive one of sport’s biggest honors?
James provided his reaction to the Associated Press in a Monday interview, expressing some surprise that he won the award less than three years after he announced his plans to leave the Cavaliers for the Heat on national television in 2010.
“I remember just like yesterday when I signed here and basically, like the roof caved in,” James told The Associated Press, referring to the fallout from his infamous “Decision” to leave Cleveland for Miami in 2010. “To see that I and my team and everyone around me was able to patch that roof up, to come to this point, to come to this | point and receive such a prestigious award, it’s huge.”
“Do I need it? I don’t need it,” James said. “I don’t ever look for individual accolades. I do what I do because I love it and I want to continue to get better at it.”
“Welcome to the club,” Heat guard Dwyane Wade, who was Sportsman of the Year in 2006, tweeted. “We have been expecting you… Congrats to my brother from another.”

Trying to understand the Jeffersonian enigma from atop a nearby mountain
By Suzanne Freeman | From Preservation | November/December 2006
For the past several years, in its list of the nation's most-visited house museums, the Almanac of Architecture and Design has ranked Graceland just above Monticello. This means that more people have been lining up to view Elvis' jumpsuits than to see the artifacts in Thomas Jefferson's natural history collection, which includes, among other things, the upper jawbone of a mastodon and a pair of elk antlers sent back from the Lewis and Clark expedition. No doubt there is a message here about our collective cultural identity, but I don't know just what it is. I only know that I fall into the jawbone camp—and that I am continually drawn to Jefferson's idiosyncratic mountaintop house, with its terraced vegetable garden of unlikely crops such as sea kale and cardoons, the dumbwaiter that carries only wine bottles, the hand-colored maps of the continents, the revolving walnut bookstand, the surveying instruments, and the bust of Voltaire with his plaster ringlets | and slightly pained expression, as if he might be smelling a bad cardoon.
Over the years, I have probably toured Monticello 40 or 50 times. Proximity certainly plays a part in this. | [

The Libertines Live @ 12 Bar Club
is a dream come true for the true fans of UK music.
Straight out of the best club on Tin Pan Alley, 12 Bar Club, this DVD captures a time when Pete Doherty
and Carl Barāt
were forming the songs that would shape the sound of music for the first decade of the new millennium. This was the beginning of their magical mystery tour to fame and fortune.
Pete Doherty and Carl Barāt were creating a real music scene in their North London apartment putting some of the best grunge pop rock together in an Andy Warhol type atmosphere as rotating support musicians rolled through.
It was a blessing of musical history that Rick Siegel came through the UK to record and catalog almost every new act to come out from 1998 to 2003. The Libertines
played at one of the premiere clubs on his route - The 12 Bar Club
. So many fans have dreamed that someone had these tasty morsels | of bands, when they were young and starting out, to release when history demands it.
The lighting at the clubs, of course, leaves a lot to be desired but the sound from the 12 Bar Club boards is superior and often is better than being there live.
So you are invited to step back to hear and see The Libertines
before they were big and before they were signed. This taste of history is why the band has reformed - the demands of fans that won't give up on one of the most incredible acts to come out of the UK | [

Around 1881, Herbert Bryant, a prominent citizen who owned a large fertilizer plant in Alexandria, had a new home built near the northwest corner of North Washington and Queen streets. Designed by architect Benjamin F. Price, the Second Empire style home featuring a mansard roof was noted in a local paper: Of all the residences in the city, none are handsomer than the one recently erected by Captain Herbert Bryant. The building inside is supplied with all the modern improvements. The workmanship on this building reflects credit upon Alexandria mechanics.
Even more than 25 years later, a souvenir publication described it as a splendid modern residence. Bryant died at his home at 306 North Washington St. in 1914, and around 1918, the property became the site for a new parochial school.
The Xaverian Brothers operated the school for boys within St. Marys parish. The first two floors served as classroom space and initially, the brothers lived on the top floor. But as enrollment grew, St. Marys purchased a nearby property to provide living quarters | for the brothers. Lawn parties and suppers were held on the grounds to help raise money for the St. Marys school.

Both Paul's folks and the December 2009 Delta magazine recommended this little gelato shop for its quality and unique flavors.
It was very cold, and slightly sprinkling. I'm not sure what we were thinking. But, it was kind of close; so, we went ahead and hiked to the location. We were saddened to learn that the window of the stand faced outside. There was no way of going inside to eat our ice cream in the heat. We were going to have to walk and eat to stay warm.
The gentleman behind the counter (I think it was the owner) was exceptionally nice, and I have to admit that his attitude sold the product. Being it was so chilly, I might have turned down the ice cream (a pregnant woman turn down food?), but he was very generous with the samples; so, I felt obliged to order something. The creative flavors like lavender just did not sell me. I guess I'm pretty | boring when it comes to my choice of ice cream flavors. I was even disappointed with my peanut butter selection. But, it could just be the cold and rain.

Calling the fiasco, in which the Contempoary sold off a few dozen prints for as little as $15, the result of a “disconnect,” DC Director Peter Doroshenko issued an apology and has returned the remainder of its unsold prints to the artists who donated them.
Dallas gallerist Talley Dunn, who purchased several | of the pieces, was horrified not only at the low prices, but also the lowbrow marketplace.

A Florida task force released its final recommendations on the law, concluding that it works and should not be repealed
One year after 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed by an armed neighborhood watchman, setting off a national debate about race and gun laws, the campaign to change state self-defense laws in Martin's name has petered out.
George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch volunteer facing second-degree murder charges, said he shot Martin in self defense last Feb. 25 after he decided to follow him in the Sanford, Fla., gated community because Martin looked suspicious. Zimmerman called the police and then approached Martin, and they ended up in a physical fight. Zimmerman, saying he feared for his life, then shot Martin. He was not charged with a crime for several weeks, and his defense attorneys argue he's immune from prosecution under Florida's "stand your | ground" law.

If you've ever longed for an excuse to sing Happy Birthday to a tunnel, this is your lucky day.
The Caldecott Tunnel celebrates its 75th anniversary today, Dec. 5, marking the date in 1937 when the first two bores were opened with ceremonies featuring planes and pigeons above and a governor and fireworks on the ground. Now the tunnel is twice as big, with the new fourth bore getting ready for traffic next year.
And by coincidence, a ceremony will be held tomorrow to honor local students whose designs were chosen for the large decorative medallions that will be placed above the new bore.
Earlier this year, Caltrans and transportation officials from Alameda and Contra Costa Counties sponsored a design competition for the medallions for grades K-12 in the two counties. There will be three medallions cast in concrete on the Contra Costa side (the east side) of the tunnel by Contra Costa students, and three on the Alameda County side by students from that | county.
The three Alameda County winners will be honored in a brief ceremony tomorrow at the Alameda County Transportation Commission meeting, 4-4:30 p.m. They are:
- Nuala Gorshow, 8, third grade, Thornhill Elementary School
- Aoife Gorshow, 11, fifth grade, Thornhill Elementary School
- Elina Bartholomew Couts, 10, Frank Otis Elementary School

The Frankfurt Group & the Economic Colonization of Europe
Little-known outside the financial press, the EU experienced an elite coup – a political putsch – by a small group of eight individuals who call themselves the ‘Frankfurt Group’. The informal group was formed in October of 2011, and within a matter of weeks, they had orchestrated the technocratic coups – ousting democratically-elected leaders to be replaced with unelected bankers, economists, and technocrats – in Greece and Italy. The Frankfurt Group had become too frustrated with formal democratic procedures, and so they had to do away with the democratic process in two countries in order to implement their programs of ‘fiscal austerity’ and ‘structural adjustment,’ which amount to a form of economic colonization over Europe. So meet the Frankfurt Group: Angela Merkel (Chancellor of Germany), Nicolas Sarkozy/Francois Hollande (President of France), Jean-Claude Juncker (Prime Minister of | Luxembourg and head of the Eurogroup), Jean-Claude Trichet/Mario Draghi (President of the European Central Bank), Jose Manuel Barroso (President of the European Commission), Herman Van Rompuy (President of the European Council), Olli Rehn (European Commissioner for Economic and Monetary Affairs), and Christine Lagarde (Managing Director of the IMF). Their mission is to impose total domination of Europe, through economic colonialism, structural adjustment, fiscal austerity, and to expand and deepen the integration of the European Union.

THERE was a time when Australian sportspeople were universally loved but this is becoming a rarity these days, writes David Penberthy.
THE implosion of the Australian cricket team has at its centre two issues that have less to do with sport than the human capacity for vanity, and the modern hostility towards the notion people should be held accountable for their failures.
Once there was a time when Australian sportspeople were universally loved, providing us with nothing other than pride as they toiled for their nation with a pleasing combination of tenacity and modesty.
Luckily there are still some around today: Sally Pearson at last year's London Olympics and Matt Cowdrey at the Paralympics are just two who spring to mind.
But it is becoming much easier in Australia to identify top-level sportspeople who are harder to love. People who will wear the hero tag before they have done anything genuinely heroic, try to psych out their opponents only to be shown up for their hubris on the field of play, and dismiss the contribution of administrators as the | unwelcome meddling of lesser figures with no understanding of sport.

as we set the tablecloth

as we wonder if there is enough food

Roberto Di Matteo sacked after Chelsea humiliated in Europe
Defeat at Juventus means the Champions League holders face going out at group stage
Juventus 3 Chelsea 0. Roberto Di Matteo was sacked as Chelsea manager this morning following last night’s defeat at Juventus. In a statement the club said "the team's recent performances and results have not been good enough and the owner and the Board felt that a change was necessary now to keep the club moving in the right direction". An announcement about a successor is expected "shortly".
There is no doubt last night’s result was a disaster for the club. Chelsea are on the brink of becoming the first holders of the Champions League to go out of the competition at the group stage. They can only survive | if they win their final group match against FC Nordsjaelland at Stamford Bridge while praying Juventus fail to pick up so much as a point against Shakhtar | [

Controlled burn done at elementary
In the interest of safety, a controlled and permitted burn took place on Monday, April 25 at Otsego Elementary School prairie land and adjoining fields.
The contractor, Prairie Restoration, notified school district officials that morning that the weather conditions were expected to be near perfect for the controlled burn.
The contractor attempted a controlled burn last year; however, wind conditions were such that the burn had to be canceled. During the controlled burn, school property was cordoned off with only fire experts allowed on site.
The reason for the controlled burn is to reduce what is referred to as “fuel buildup,” which if not managed early in the season leads to the potential of uncontrolled field fires (lightning, etc.). The burn also controls non-native weeds while stimulating the growth of the native grasses and forbs.
Experts recommend that prairies be scheduled for controlled burns every five to seven years; Otsego Elementary School is now in that window. School Principal Erin | Talley says management now not only helps “ensure the safety of our students and school, but also lessens the possibility of an uncontrolled fire affecting neighbors’ property | [

For any wine critic or writer, impartiality is a non-negotiable.
And I think that all wine writers realise this. So the real danger is not corruption, or obvious conflicts of interest. Rather, it’s the subtle loss of perspective that being sucked into the wine trade brings with it.
As a writer, I gain a great deal by getting closer to the trade, in terms of understanding wine, and having access to it. But I have to keep reminding myself that I’m writing for consumers, not the wine trade.
And I have to keep disciplining myself to think as consumers do. That is, to approach wine from the perspective of someone spending their own money on it.
There is still an awful lot of mediocre, expensive wine. You can spend £20 and end up with something that’s not much fun to drink.
It’s for this reason I still buy wine at all levels. I still buy bottles from supermarkets and independent wine merchants, and I compare the way I assess | my own purchases with the way I approach samples. Only last night I found myself making excuses for a very average £30 Barbaresco (sample) when I should have been much harsher on it.
Perspective is everything. And it’s very easy to lose it | [

Monpazier is a small bastide town, typical of many found in the region, with streets fanning out from a central square in easy-to-navigate grids.

HANOVER TWP. -- A 27-inch sewer main, which was slated to be replaced this year due to age, ruptured Sunday, causing raw sewage to flow into Solomon Creek.
State Department of Environmental Protection spokeswoman Colleen Connolly said the main burst occurred Sunday afternoon in Hanover Township at the border with the Goose Island section of Wilkes-Barre near where Schuler and Covell streets meet.
The main is owned and maintained by Hanover Township, and Connolly said crews worked into early Monday morning to plug the leak and bypass lines to help correct the issue.
Connolly said the age of the main – it's more than 20 years old – and the weather could have been a factor, but the cause has not been determined yet. She also | noted that that section of main was slated for replacement this year because of its age.
A section of the creek bank also collapsed, Connolly said, though it was unclear whether the rupture caused it or it was caused by something else.

The Guardian newspaper is nearing the end of a series it has called ‘Germany: the Accidental Empire’, a heading which has been a springboard for all manner of features, discussing many ideas some of which followers of this website will have seen before (not that I’m saying they’re copying, or anything!). Anyway, it’s a wide-ranging and bold selection, and well worth a browse. Here are some highlights:
- A piece about how east Germany is the most godless place on earth – so atheistic that some churches are sending missionaries. The feature tries to understand how this situation has come about (Communist opposition to the church, economic disillusionment, etc). Other controversial social topics elsewhere include the ‘failure’ of immigration, and the nation’s awkward relationship with the Turkish minority.
- A discussion about language and the great long compound words that Germans do so well. We’ve done this topic, too, but they’ve got some good ones, such as a person who wears gloves to throw | snowballs (Handschuhschneeballwerfer) or a man who pees sitting down (Sitzpinkler).

Google just keeps pumping out the hits. Today the company released a new version of Google Market app featuring a tabular design, book and film rentals and new ways of discovering apps, including lists like "Top Grossing," and recently trending applications. Download the APK here, read on to hear my review and let me know what you think of the changes in the comments section below.
The UI of the new Android Market has been compared to the tabular design of the Windows phone (and not favorably) but I appreciated the larger banner styles and the fact that not everything appears in a boring list format (though, understandably, all those big pictures makes the app take a bit longer to load). It's also nice that, just like on the Google+ Android app, I can scroll through menus by flicking my finger to the left or right...not just up and down. If you're having trouble with this, make sure you're swiping at the top of the screen. Anywhere else doesn't seem to work.
Book and Film Rentals
I wasn't even able to access the movies page on my app because I'm outside the U.S. The category "Media and Video" | just brought me to media player apps. I wonder how long it'll be before Google expands this rental service internationally. Knowing how protective film distributors can be, I'm betting it'll be awhile.
So far, the new "Books and Reference" section seems to be populated by Bibles, Qurans and, strangely enough, sex reference books (quite the combo)! Where are the best sellers? Perhaps this is another feature that isn't fully operational internationally just yet.
