Was the pitching mound ever moved back in major league baseball? I'm thinking it's always stayed the same. Anyway, I'm wondering if the game would change for the better if the hoops were raised to 11'. Or, perhaps they make it wider so as to encourage more peripheral game (and takeaway the three).

Already, China uses more coal than the United States, the European Union and Japan combined. And it has increased coal consumption 14 percent in each of the past two years in the broadest industrialization ever. Every week to 10 days, another coal-fired power plant opens somewhere in China that is big enough to serve all the households in Dallas or San Diego.
