Jelena Jankovic remained on course to win a third title in 2009 as she made light work of Russian Elena Vesnina in Tokyo on Wednesday.
Serbian Jankovic, 24, eased into the quarter-finals of the Toray Pan Pacific Open, at the expense of Vesnina who retired injured when trailing 6-1 3-0.

*U.S. Open women's final no ratings hi*t
Relegated to cable and lacking any recognizable stars beyond tennis circles, the women's final of the U.S. Open was a bust in the ratings.
The Clijsters/Wozniacki U.S. Open women's final drew a mere 1.1 U.S. rating and 1.8 million viewers on ESPN2 Sunday night, *down 67% in ratings and 62% in viewers from a 3.3 and 4.9 million for last year's S. Williams/Jankovic final, which aired on CBS.*
This marks the lowest rated U.S. Open women's final since at least 1996 -- 50% below the previous 13-year low of 2.2 for Kuznetsova/Dementieva in '04.
*Sunday's women's final was far less of a draw than the Clijsters/S. Williams semifinal the previous night. That match, which aired on CBS, drew a 2.1/4 final rating and 3.2 million viewers.*

I am putting a link in English, but I read the news in the mainstream Spanish newspaper "El Pais" (http://www.elpais.com/articulo/sociedad/Vaticano/afirma/curas/pedofilos/efebofilos/elpepusoc/20090929elpepusoc_16/Tes) (in Spanish)
Summary:
The Vatican states that clergymen that have abused young children are not pedophiles but "Ephebophiles", men attracted to young men aged between 11 and 17.
The Vatican sticks to their view that the problem is not Pedophile Priests but "Homosexual Priests".

Mike Blowers is a television analyst for the Seattle Mariners. On the team's pregame show, there is segment called "Picks to Click" in which the broadcasters predict who they think will be the player of the game. On Sunday, Blowers picked 3B Matt Tuiasosopo. Then he went a step further, predicting that Tuiasosopo would hit his first MLB home run in his second at-bat into left-center on a 3-1 fastball.
In the 5th inning, in his second at-bat of the game, Tuiasosopo hit his first MLB home run, deep to left-center, on a 3-1 fastball.
Mike Blowers: simple baseball analyst, or soothsayer and seer of the future?

For random news around the world.*(CNN)* -- An earthquake with a magnitude of 7.9 struck in the Samoan Islands region Tuesday, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
The temblor generated a nearly 10-foot (3-meter) tsunami -- measured from crest to trough -- according to preliminary data, said Chip McCreery, the director of the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Ewa Beach, Hawaii.
A tsunami warning was in effect for American Samoa, Samoa, Cook Islands, Tonga and Fiji, among others in the South Pacific archipelago, according to a bulletin from the center.
A tsunami watch was issued for islands farther from the epicenter, including Hawaii and Papua New Guinea.
Officials were determining whether the tsunami could reach Hawaii, the center said.
The quake is not expected to generate a tsunami along the west coast of the United States or Canada, according to the West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center.
Further details were not immediately available. There were no immediate reports of damage.
The quake was recorded at 6:48 a.m. (1:28 p.m. ET) at a depth of about 7.4 miles (11.9 km), the USGS reported.
