That’s a .716 winning percentage, and it includes games like Game 2 of the Tigers-A’s series, when both Justin Verlander and Sonny Gray qualified....

The Lord of the Rings book trilogy started in 1954, while Harry Potter was not released until 1997 and not finished until 2007. And it is a little ironic that both authors chose to use a pen name of the initials of their first and middle names followed by their full last name.

Gays are trying to match the success other groups have had in raising awareness about overlooked parts of the American past. Black History Month has focused attention on African-Americans. But in the current conservative climate, gays are learning that their new quest won’t be easy. Although LeHaye’s fund-raising appeal conjures images of school libraries stocked with gay magazines like Honcho and Planet Homo, in fact not a single school district in the nation has accepted the history-month idea or a proposed gay curriculum....

What Are Cephalosporins? Cephalosporins were first discovered in sewer water off the coast of Sardinia in 1945. By 1964, the first cephalosporin was prescribed.
