Kenley Jansen — who converted his first four save chances despite four walks, a hit batter, and a single — finally squandered one, after the Red Sox had earlier erased a four-run deficit with their biggest inning of the season.
Finding a good HRTi downloader was surprisingly tricky! Extracting the link can be difficult because the platform protects its content from downloading using Java scripts.

As a recent BBC series confirms, the idea of a spiritual journey has survived the decline of organised religionIn Geoffrey Chaucer’s England, the arrival of spring was taken by many as a cue to take to the road. As the prologue to The Canterbury Tales begins: “When in April the sweet showers fall/And pierce the drought of March to the root, and all/ Then people long to go on pilgrimages”.Given Britain’s increasingly damp climate, contemporary pilgrims are as likely to encounter persistent rain...
Regulating new technology is never simple, but the status quo offers inadequate protectionThe principle that some products are available to adults and not children is uncontroversial. Access to weapons, alcohol and pornography is curtailed in this way because a level of maturity is the precondition for access (but not a guarantee of responsible use).Until recently, few people put smartphones in that category. The idea of an age restriction on sales would be dismissed as luddism or state-control...
Both Iran and Israel are calibrating their responses. That does not mean the region should breathe easyThe danger facing the Middle East is not from wild or impulsive action, but from the considered decisions of men who believe they know what they are doing and how their opponents will respond. Their confidence is not reassuring when their judgment has previously fallen short.On Friday, Iran was quick to play down the overnight strike by Israel, suggesting that it was unclear who was responsible...
Hopes of a ceasefire have ebbed, concerns about an assault on Rafah endure, and aid remains wholly insufficientThe Middle East is “on the precipice” and “one miscalculation, one miscommunication, one mistake, could lead to the unthinkable,” the UN secretary-general, António Guterres, warned on Thursday. Israel has vowed to retaliate to Iran’s weekend barrage of missiles and drones – itself a response to Israel’s killing of two generals at an Iranian diplomatic facility in Damascus. It is hard to...
Five years after the inferno at the Paris cathedral, a new exhibition shows the rescued art treasuresThere was a moment on 15 April 2019 as the flames consuming Notre Dame cathedral roared into the evening sky when it seemed all would be lost.Firefighters prevented the blaze from reaching the bell towers – whose collapse would have almost certainly brought down the facade – and from destroying the bells, the Grand Organ and the Parisian monument’s stained-glass rosette windows.

The world does not know what’s been unleashed in the tit-for-tat attacks. But it is unlikely to be anything goodIt is troubling that what started with Israel’s attack on Iran’s consular building in Syria on 1 April may not end with Tehran’s Operation True Promise. The bombing in Damascus, which killed at least two top Iranian generals, resulted in the first-ever direct strikes launched against Israel from Iranian territory. For the Islamic regime, unpopular at home, crossing the Rubicon would...
The seeds of a forever war are being planted in the coastal strip. They must not be allowed to take rootIsrael’s war turned much of northern Gaza into an uninhabitable moonscape. Palestinians returning to their homes in the southern part of the coastal strip this week were greeted by a similar lifeless vista of destruction. It might be some relief that Israeli forces have withdrawn from much of Gaza. But one is reminded of what Tacitus said of the Roman legions: “They make a desert and call it...
The early bird catches the worm (the worm, in this case, being the PPV for UFC 300).
The nation must oust its disastrous prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and embrace unpalatable truthsIsrael is embroiled in the gravest crisis since its founding as an independent state in 1948. The country has faced dire peril many times since then, but rarely, if ever, have the external and internal threats to its continued existence appeared so dangerous and pernicious. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have often been accused of lack of concern about civilian casualties, notably in the West...
