Arizona Diamondbacks
Scouting Report By the Numbers | Players To Watch | Projected Roster
"What it gets down to is jealousy," he says of the criticisms. "I guess in baseball the egos are bigger than they are in basketball. The first thing some of these guys should do is look in a mirror. "I have a 32-year track record of being responsible," adds Colangelo, who has run the NBA's Phoenix Suns since 1968. (The Suns have never won a league title, falling to the Celtics in 1976 and the Bulls in 1993 in their only NBA Finals appearances.) "Nothing has changed. If anything, the stakes are even higher. Our goal is to separate ourselves from how baseball teams have operated for a long time. That's not to say we ignore tradition, but we're going to do things we believe are right." The Diamondbacks, who open with a $32 million payroll, have spooked even George Steinbrenner, whose Yankees are the richest team in baseball. Worried about losing centerfielder Bernie Williams to the desert, Steinbrenner has asked acting commissioner Bud Selig to investigate whether Arizona tampered with Williams, who is eligible for free agency after this season. Colangelo's spending spree began with the $10 million he gave first baseman Travis Lee, a first-round pick by Minnesota in 1996 who became a free agent because he wasn't offered a contract soon enough by the Twins. Then he made veteran free-agent shortstop Jay Bell the highest-paid middle infielder in baseball, at $6.8 million per year over five years. Next up was third baseman Matt Williams, who got a five-year deal at $9.5 million a yearafter Williams said he wanted to play only in Arizona so he could be near his children. Then he corralled pitcher Andy Benes with $18 million over three years. Most recently, after catcher Jorge Fabregas "lost" his arbitration and was awarded an $875,000 contract, Colangelo gave him a two-year, $2.9 million deal anyway. Colangelo said he felt uneasy about the arbitration figure because Arizona had offered Fabregas $1.05 million before the hearing.
"We won the arbitration, and I didn't feel good about that," Colangelo says. "We made him an offer based on what we thought his value was, so why should he be penalized? That's the difference between me and how other people do business. I want to do what's right." Said Fabregas, who previously played for the White Sox and the Angels, "I was very shocked. Things like that just don't happen in baseball. This is the best-run organization I've known. From [manager] Buck Showalter to his coaches to everybody else, they really care about you." Arizona has one of the highest season-ticket bases in baseball: 34,000. It has a state-of-the-art, $354 million ballpark, $238 million of which came from local taxes. When it will put a state-of-the-art team on the field, however, is less certain, though the club's revenue and spending pattern suggest it could be soon. "The Rockies made the playoffs in their third year, but that was a strike season," Showalter says. "When we get there, we don't want it to be a one-year deal. We want to be consistent and have a farm system that makes us a self-replenishing organization. What a good farm system does is help keep your payroll down." Clearly, though, the Diamondbacks can speed their maturation through free agency. Colangelo has all but hung a shingle on Bank One Ballpark, his convertible-roofed stadium: FREE AGENTS WELCOME. "This is about recruiting," he says. "Having the right facilities, treating people right and being located in an attractive place to play." In the meantime Colangelo knows the rest of the baseball world will keep a sharp eye on him. Last month for instance, he attended a charity function in which people wearing Yankees pinstripes served drinks. "I didn't ask for one, though," Colangelo says, "because I thought I might be accused of tampering." by Tom Verducci Scouting Report | By the Numbers | Players To Watch | Projected Roster | ||||||||

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Following is the daily "Profile America" feature from the U.S. Census Bureau:

Profile America — Saturday, December 8th. At this time of year, there are dozens of holiday parades all across the nation, especially on weekends. One of those held today will be in Hollywood Beach, Florida. The 57th annual Candy Cane Parade will draw some 30,000 spectators to see the event, featuring 100 floats and marching units on the city's boardwalk. Many of the marchers and those on the floats will be in costume. No telling how many Santa Claus suits will be seen. Across the country, there are 2,700 firms that rent formal wear and costumes and they generate revenue of just over $1billion a year. You can find current data on the country's economy by downloading the new "America's Economy" mobile application at www.census.gov/mobile.

@Rosalind: I'm sure I'm guilty of being redundant at times, among other things. I don't claim to be a professional, and I'm sure there are style faults on my site. I've often reviewed pages I wrote years earlier, and thought, "what the heck was I trying to say?" Sometimes my second effort at restating my point turns out worse than my first, but often it is better. Sometimes, I can make the page more compact when I rework it, yet at other times it becomes even longer.
I understand what you're saying, and I do agree with you. I just don't know if it's possible for search engines to comprehend a person's personality when they put copy on a page, as some can say the same thing using less words than others. But does that mean the shorter page is the better of the two? I look at sites unrelated to mine, and sometimes feel they've stopped in the middle, which makes me feel I've wasted my time. Others go on too long, and the focus is lost. Somewhere, there is a middle ground.
I know I need to improve in this area. I'd love to know more about the software you mentioned, I'm sure I'd be shocked with what it reveals.

Il Divo is the brainchild of American Idol judge Simon Cowell. After hearing Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman sing "Con te partirò,? Cowell was inspired to form a multinational quartet that sang pop-opera.
After a two-year worldwide search, Cowell finally settled on the quartet's lineup: American tenor David Miller, Spanish baritone Carlos Marín, Swiss tenor Urs Bühler and French pop singer Sébastien Izambard.
Il Divo has released five studio albums and was featured on "Voices from the FIFA World Cup,? a complication of songs released in conjunction with the 2006 FIFA World Cup.
The group's big break came when they appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show in April of 2005 singing their international hit "Regresa a Mi."
In 2006, Il Divo performed live at the half time show of the opening match of 2006 FIFA World Cup. They sang the tournament's official song, "The Time of Our Lives? with R&B singer Toni Braxton. They also performed a month later at the World Cup's closing ceremony.
After a grueling tour through America, Australia and Europe, Il Divo appeared as special guests for Barbra Streisand's 2006 tour of North America. Il Divo helped make "Streisand: The Tour" the second highest grossing tour of 2006, generating over $92 million in sales.
Il Divo also performed on American Idol's "Idol Gives Back? show in 2007.
Il Divo sings in English, Italian, Spanish, French, and Latin. The band is also known for their impeccable fashion sense.
Some interesting facts about the members of the band: Miller performed at the White House for President Clinton in 1998; Marín sang in Tim Burton's "The Nightmare Before Christmas? and Disney's Spanish version of "Cinderella;? Bühler current girlfriend is Tania Rodney, hair and make-up artist to Il Divo; and Izambard suffers from vertigo.

While folding bicycles have been around for a while now, this new variation can be folded with a swiftness and elegance never seen before. The 2-second slide-folding bicycle was designed to be folded quickly while you are walking. Once folded, the rider can push the bicycle along with ease much like one would push a wheel-barrow.

The race to produce a narrow, tilting, hybrid motorcycle/car/EV continues with another boutique manufacturer throwing its hat into the ring. This time, its Cherban who has released plans of its concept Urban Jet, a 150mph three-wheeler EV that is said to be able to accelerate from 0-60mph in less than 3.5 seconds. It's a two-seater (bobsled style – though hopefully not as scary) that leans up to 45° into corners, and is reminiscent of the Dutch Carver (see it briefly in our video on the Nissan Landglider and other narrow track vehicles).

Go ahead, stare. It's OK, they want you to. Delta 7 Bikes currently manufactures two of the most unusual-looking bicycles on the market, the Arantix hardtail mountain bike and the Ascend road bike. Their open-lattice spider-web tubes incorporate patented IsoTruss geometric design, wherein carbon fiber and Kevlar are woven into a network of isosceles triangles. The triangles join together to form pyramid-shaped trusses, which provide incredible structural support while using a minimum of material. If you're a bicycle-maker looking for something with a great strength-to-weight ratio, it's hard to beat. Read More
We met with Sanyo's David Cabanban Sanyo at CES 2010 and he was kind enough to speak to us about the recent Sanyo-Panasonic alliance as well as Sanyo's new solar panel that is translucent, allowing it to capture solar energy not only from on top of the panel, but also from light reflected off the ground. David also took us through the finer points of the eneloop bike we first spied in December 2008 and we jumped aboard for a test ride. The bike features impressive power-assisted technology that amplifies the rider's pedaling, making cycling up hills or at speeds of up to 15mph that much easier. Read More
Researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology's SENSEable City team have chosen the Copenhagen Conference on Climate Change to show off a new bicycle wheel prototype which not only provides electric rider assist, but also contains "a veritable Swiss army knife's worth of electronic gadgets and novel functions", including sensors to monitor air quality and noise pollution, GPRS and Bluetooth connectivity.

Ceramic coated exhausts protect panniers and pillions
Nothing ruins a motorcycle trip like the smell of burning nylon and the sight of your possessions scattered across the highway. Soft-sided panniers are great when you want to pack some gear for a weekend getaway, but they're not so great if they come into contact with your bike's hot exhaust pipe.

Let's face it once summer arrives, for us naturally curly haired girls, there is absolutely no use in trying to battle with what our hair naturally wants to do…which is to suck up the summer humidity and curl to its utmost content. And why would you even want to spend precious time indoors trying to battle with your hair anyway when you could just wash, apply a bit of product and just go enjoy summer in all of its glory?
I plan on spending most of my time at the pool or on the beach and the last thing I want to worry about while partaking in is frizzy straight hair that wants to go curly or weird, crunchy, "jheri curled" looking hair. So in an effort to embrace my natural texture but still have soft, smooth curls, I decided to give Miss Jessie's Jelly Soft Curls a try. Read more

Definition of pronucleus in English:
Line breaks: pro|nucleusPronunciation: /prəʊˈnjuːklɪəs
( plural pronuclei)
Biology - Either of a pair of gametic nuclei, in the stage following meiosis but before their fusion leads to the formation of the nucleus of the zygote.More example sentences
- In normal fertilisation the formation of male and female pronuclei is an important stage just before the maternal and paternal chromosomes start to pair up in preparation for the first cell division.
- The sperm and egg pronuclei form the zygotic nucleus.
- Diploid zygotes created by combining a male and a female pronucleus gave rise to viable embryos, but combining two male or two female pronuclei did not.
- More example sentences
- Arrowheads point to sister chromatids and refer to chromosome replication during the pronuclear stage.
- In mice and humans, the pronuclear membranes disappear before the pronuclei come together.
- In contrast, wisp embryos arrest after completion of meiosis II, before pronuclear fusion.

9 Cities Bucking the Grim National Housing Value Trend
A handful of cities bucked the national trend in March.
By some measures, the U.S. economy is slowly creeping its way back from crisis. Employers created nearly a quarter million jobs in April, the Dow has bounced back from its 2009 plummet, and some economists are predicting a drop in gas prices in the near future. But Americans--particularly those with for-sale signs on their lawns--shouldn't break out the champagne just yet.
[See a slide show of 9 cities where home values increased in March.]
According to real-estate website Zillow.com, home values dropped 3 percent in the first quarter of 2011--the largest quarter-over-quarter drop since 2008. And this continued an unhappy trend: Altogether, U.S. home values dropped 8.2 percent from March 2010 to March 2011. The phenomenon is widespread--of the 132 cities for which Zillow has calculated home value estimates, only nine posted improved or even flat home values between February and March, and only four saw increased or flat home values during the first quarter of 2011. Furthermore, these figures do not include foreclosed homes or foreclosure re-sales, which could further drag down aggregate estimated home values.[Check out editorial cartoons about the economy.]
These are the nine cities in which housing prices bucked the national downward trend in March 2011, according to Zillow's home value index.
Metropolitan Area | Current Median Est. Home Market Value | Monthly Change | Quarterly Change |
Fort Myers, Fla. | $121,000 | 1.00% | 2.40% |
Champaign-Urbana, Ill. | $123,400 | 0.40% | 0.80% |
Pueblo, Colo. | $88,900 | 0.20% | -0.20% |
Sarasota, Fla. | $139,600 | 0.10% | 0.00% |
Honolulu, Hi. | $488,500 | 0.10% | 0.30% |
Pittsburgh, Pa. | $105,800 | 0.10% | -0.20% |
Santa Cruz, Calif. | $473,100 | 0.10% | -0.30% |
New Haven, Conn. | $212,900 | 0.00% | -0.50% |
El Centro, Calif. | $110,500 | 0.00% | -0.60% |
These growth rates only provide a snapshot of larger trends in these cities, whose housing markets are in widely varying degrees of health. Honolulu, for example, is the only city for which Zillow estimates that home values increased year-to-year, with a growth rate of 1.8 percent since March 2010. By contrast while Pueblo, Colorado is on the list for March, home values there are down more than 18 percent over that year.
[See the 10 cities with the greatest economic equality.]
Morris Davis, academic director at the James A. Graaskamp Center for Real Estate at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, says that much hand-wringing over this most recent evidence of housing value declines may be unjustified. "We're not talking about a freefall in house prices. It's that somehow there are modest declines in various places," he says. Davis puts the housing value decline into the broader context of the recent recession and housing market collapse. "People are talking about all the bad news now, but really the bad news happened," he adds, pointing to the sharp drop in housing values since 2006, a decrease that Zillow estimates at 29.5 percent.
There may be little reason to panic, then, about the U.S. housing situation. But for now, sellers in places like Fort Myers and Honolulu may be resting easier than other homeowners around the country.

If rheumatoid arthritis is making you depressed, Patricia Doyle's experience may sound familiar.
Doyle used to love to take long walks near her home in San Francisco and went dancing three nights a week. But four years ago, she was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis at the age of 58. As the pain got worse, she reluctantly gave up those activities. And when she was laid off from her job about two years later, depression hit her hard.
"I didn't want to get out of bed," Doyle says. "Nothing mattered to me. It was a horrible feeling." Thinking that she should be able to fix it on her own, she tried walking every day. That helped, but not enough. So recently she "gave in" to the idea that she needed professional help. "I finally told my doctor how depressed I really was, and he started me on an antidepressant," Doyle says.
Doyle's story may ring a bell with you. Depression can develop from living with chronic pain or from the feeling that RA has limited your independence, social activities, and mobility. It often leads to a downward spiral: Giving up an activity you enjoy because it becomes too painful can make you depressed, the depression makes you focus more on your pain, and then you become more depressed. You may start to lose sleep, feel more fatigue, and become isolated.
But experts say that treating depression can set you on an upward spiral. It can help reduce anxiety, stress, and even some of the physical pain of RA.
RA and Depression: The Psychology of Pain
"Depression and pain go hand in hand," says Elizabeth Lin, MD, a family practice doctor and scientific investigator for the Group Health Research Institute in Seattle. Not only can pain bring on depression, but depression can make pain worse, Lin says. "It has been found to lower the threshold of how we tolerate pain -- how easily pain registers in our brain."
No one should feel embarrassed or stigmatized by depression. "Pain is depressing; there's no doubt about it," says Alex Zautra, PhD, a professor of psychology at Arizona State University in Tempe who has conducted several studies on arthritis and well-being. "It's really a mind-body problem. What happens in the body affects the mind, but the mind affects how much energy people have to be resilient in the face of pain."
How Treating Depression Can Ease RA Pain
The upside of the link between pain and depression: Studies show that alleviating depression can also help relieve arthritis pain.
In a 12-month study of 1,001 people with arthritis, people who received psychotherapy or took antidepressants had fewer symptoms of depression and reported less pain, and were able to take part in daily activities more than those who did not.
Another study in 2007 found that counseling and coping skills, such as relaxation techniques and pacing activities, not only lowered anxiety and depression but also reduced joint swelling and increased physical abilities. Two-thirds of the people in the study were women.

Topic: History
Briefly explain Klemens von Metternich's efforts to create peace and stability in Europe. Use the terms "balance of power" and "Concert of Europe."
1 Answer | add yours
At the Congress of Vienna, von Metternich claimed to be basing his actions on the idea of keeping legitimate government in place. He claimed to be favoring monarchs who had "legitimate" claims to their realms. In reality, he was being more pragmatic and working for a balance of power.
What this meant is that Metternich and others tried to have many countries with relatively equal amounts of power. That way, they would cancel one another out and prevent any one country from becoming too ambitious. This was seen as a way to prevent further wars. This system of balanced powers came to be known as the Concert of Europe.

A Sound decision: New Zealand's great fjord Milford Sound is spared the drills - but a wider tourism issue remains
Posted by Chris Leadbeater, Travel Writer, TravelMail
Depending on your perspective and the precise location where you are reading this blog, New Zealand could be described as the end of the world. Certainly it is far enough from London that its news stories do not always leap with immediacy onto British front pages.
But the developments radiating from Down Under today merit close inspection.
This time last year, I wrote about a growing controversy that was causing tempers to flare amid the pastoral scenery and leafy beauty of the country's otherwise quiet South Island.
The thorn in many sides was the proposal to build an eight-mile tunnel that would have helped to connect the holiday hotspot of Queenstown with the magnificent fjord of Milford Sound.
This would have provided a considerable short-cut for the thousands of tourists who seek out this geological miracle each year. The terrain that surrounds Milford Sound is rugged and almost completely untouched, and a journey to reach it, assuming you are staying in Queenstown, involves a detour of 180 miles – south around the picturesque shore of Lake Wakatipu, west to the resort town of Te Anau, then north again along the snaking surface of State Highway 94, the narrow ribbon that provides the only road access up to the fjord.
So a simple, pragmatic decision, you might think. Not a bit of it. The construction project would have involved chiselling half a million tonnes of pristine soil from Mount Aspiring National Park and the wider area of Te Wahipounamu – a UNESCO World Heritage site – in which this protected zone is located. The reaction to the plan has been uproarious. Over the last 18 months, voices have been raised, protests organised and petitions signed. The idea of people forming human chains around giant drills has been entirely plausible.
Today, the verdict is in. And the answer is a resounding no. New Zealand's Conservation Minister Nick Smith has ruled that the environmental impact of the engineering works would have been significant, having a huge effect on both Mount Aspiring National Park and its neighbour Fiordland National Park (in which Milford Sound sits). Sites of natural splendour – such as the landscape dissected by the fabled walking path of the Routeburn Track – would have been damaged. And the whole concept was deemed to be out of step with the basic principle of safeguarding what is surely one of the planet's great treasures.
The response to the decision has been euphoric. Patricia Ko, a resident of Glenorchy – the town, north-west of Queenstown, where the tunnel would have started – has described it as 'an incredible victory for people power'. Last April, she launched a petition decrying the proposition. At time of writing, she has gathered over 31,000 signatures in opposition.
Looking at the debate from a dispassionate distance (London is a long, long way from the South Island of New Zealand), I can, to a certain extent, see both sides of the argument.
Two years ago, I made the pilgrimage to Milford Sound, taking the long way round from Queenstown, and spending a too-brief afternoon at the waterside before I had to set off back. The views – the steep flanks of the fjord rearing towards the clouds, their craggy grandeur reflected in the water – made the hours behind the wheel entirely worthwhile.
But I was not alone in my odyssey. As I drove north, I endured slow progress behind the endless tour buses that were clogging Highway 94. The same army of vehicles was there as I meandered south. They are too big and too cumbersome for the road. But they are an unavoidable product of the beauty of Milford Sound, a place people are desperate to visit.
And here is the problem. The decision to deny permission for the creation of the tunnel is, without doubt, the correct one. The heavenly scenery of this remote flank of this out-on-a-limb wonderland is too precious, too splendid, for the canvas to be pierced by the heavy hand of machinery. Furthermore, a key motivation behind the tunnel was not ecological but financial. This would have been a private facility, with a toll charged for admission.
But the New Zealand government's refusal to sanction the construction will not alleviate the pressure that is placed on Fiordland National Park by the wheels that regularly rumble through it, or the exhaust fumes – my own included – that belch forth as a consequence.
This goes to the heart of a larger concern. Last month, Frank Barrett wrote on this blog about the growing worries that Venice cannot cope with the number of visitors who arrive in this fabled Italian city every day (especially in summer), and mooted some sort of admission fee that might regulate the flow of bodies. There are many similar cases – sites of colossal historic or cultural importance that are creaking under the weight of our ravenous interest in then. Machu Picchu was designed as a small Inca citadel on a lonely Andean mountain top, but received over one million visitors in 2011. The Mayan enclave of Chichen Itza is flooded daily by inquisitive travellers flitting west from the beaches of Cancun. And while the recent political troubles in Egypt have taken some of the strain off the country's iconic landmarks, it is ordinarily impossible to gawp at the Pyramids of Giza without being caught up in a crowd scene at what, let us remember, is a graveyard.
Long way round: The journey from Queenstown to Milford Sound is a long one. Pic: Google
By the same token, Milford Sound receives some 500,000 visitors a year – the vast majority arriving via a road that is scarcely suitable for a couple of cars every day or two.
I can't claim to be part of the solution in this – I have been to all four of the places that I have listed here, and would thoroughly recommend them to anyone. And while the entry fee suggested by Frank might ensure fewer day-trippers in Venice, such a move conjures the awful spectre of travel being restricted to the wealthy – which is wholly unpalatable.
Today's news from New Zealand – that the diggers will not be adding their own clumsy flourishes to the work that was done so well by ancient glaciers – is utterly welcome. But it will not change the fact that, in an era defined by unparallelled flight choice and a sense of wanderlust that former generations would not recognise, our curiosity comes at a cost.
When Captain Cook first espied Milford Sound in 1769 while sailing down the coast of the South Island, he saw it in such isolation that he dared not enter from the sea for fear that he would not be able to escape again. But he enjoyed a glimpse of it that is scarcely available – at any global wonder – in an epoch where everything is a few air miles away.

Publication history[edit]
The second volume of the title was published in May 2008, written by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning and featured a new team of characters from the Annihilation: Conquest storyline.[1][2]
Abnett and Lanning's work on the Annihilation: Conquest story laid the foundation for the new Guardians of the Galaxy book that they had been wanting to launch for some time.[3] Editor Bill Rosemann, who had also edited Annihilation: Conquest, provided more background: "As the planning of Annihilation: Conquest came together, it occurred to us that, if things went well, there would be a group of characters left standing who would make for a very interesting and fun team." It also provided the motivation the team would need, as "on the heels of two back-to-back wars, they're out to prevent any new Annihilation-size disasters from erupting."[4]
The title ran parallel with Nova vol. 4, which was also written by Abnett and Lanning. The two crossed over in the storylines "War of Kings"[5][6] and "Realm of Kings".[7][8][9] Paul Pelletier pencilled the first seven issues. Brad Walker and Wes Craig alternated pencilling tasks from #8 to #25.[10]
The book was cancelled in April 2010 with issue 25. Some plot threads were concluded in The Thanos Imperative 1–6 and its two one-shots (May 2010 – Jan 2011).[11]
The team appeared reassembled in Avengers Assemble #4–8 (June–October 2012)[12]
The Guardians of the Galaxy will appear in a new series for Marvel NOW! starting with issue 0.1 written by Brian Michael Bendis and drawn by Steve McNiven. In addition to the previous Guardians, Iron Man will also join the team.[13]
Team history[edit]
In the aftermath of the Phalanx invasion of the Kree, Star-Lord[14] decides to form a team of interstellar heroes that will be proactive in protecting the galaxy, rather than reacting to crises as they happen. To this end, he recruits Adam Warlock,[15] Drax the Destroyer,[16] Gamora,[16] Phyla-Vell (the new Quasar),[17] Rocket Raccoon,[18] and Groot,[18] with Mantis as support staff.[19] On the recommendation of their ally, Nova, the group establishes a base of operations on the space station Knowhere, which possesses a teleportation system with near-universal range.[20] An intelligent, telepathic dog named Cosmo is Knowhere's chief of security and works closely with the new team. After a confrontation with the Universal Church of Truth,[1] the team meets a semi-amnesiac man who identifies himself as Vance Astro - Major Victory of the original Guardians of the Galaxy.[21] Astro's declaration inspires the as-yet-unnamed team to adopt the "Guardians of the Galaxy" name for their own.[22] When the team learns Star-Lord directed Mantis to telepathically coerce the heroes into joining the team, they disband.[23]
Rocket Raccoon decided to continue Star-Lord's mission and started a search for the missing members. He asked Bug to join the team, as well Groot's return to full size and the addition of Mantis and Major Victory as field members.
Meanwhile Star-Lord was banished to the Negative Zone by Ronan the Accuser for his actions during the Phalanx's attempted conquest of the Kree Empire. There, he finds himself in the middle of King Blastaar's fight to break into 42 and use its portal to invade Earth. Star-Lord allies with Jack Flag to defend the prison and contact the other Guardians for rescue. Rocket's new team successfully brings both of them back, and Flag becomes a Guardian.
Elsewhere, Drax and Phylla begin looking for Cammi, but on their search they talk to a seer who tells them about an oncoming war. Phylla was able to wake Moondragon from the dead, but lost her Quantum Bands in the process. The consequence for Phyla is that she is now the new avatar of death. They went back to Knowhere and did not follow up on the search for Cammi.
War of Kings[edit]
Warlock and Gamora return and inform the team of the War of Kings. They split into three teams, one each to the Kree and Shi'ar, and one staying on Knowhere to coordinate. The Kree team is heard by Black Bolt and the Inhumans, but their request for peace is denied. The Shi'ar team is attacked by Vulcan and the Imperial Guard, leading them to ally with the Starjammers
Star-Lord, Mantis, Bug, Jack Flag, and Cosmo are taken to the 31st Century by that era's Guardians, who warn them of the creation of an all-destroying energy rift called The Fault at the war's conclusion. Trapped in the future, Star-Lord's team is able to get a message to Warlock in the 21st Century. Warlock is unable to stop The Fault's creation, but is able to contain it with a spell that requires a stable, unused timeline. Warlock chooses the one he previously erased,[24] causing him to become the Magus. Star-Lord's team, with the help of Kang the Conqueror, are returned to this point in the timestream. To escape, Magus fakes the death of himself, Mantis, Cosmo, Major Victory, Martyr, and Gamora.[25]
Martyr frees herself with the help of Maelstrom, and enables Mantis to call the other Guardians for help telepathically. When they come to the rescue, Phyla-Vell is misled by Maelstrom into freeing Thanos. Thanos kills Martyr, but is captured by the Guardians and taken back to Knowhere as a Prisoner.[26]
The Thanos Imperative[edit]
When the universe is invaded by the alternate universe, "Cancerverse," on the other side of the fault, the Guardians take Thanos to the Cancerverse in an attempt to end the war early.[27] Along the way, Drax attacks Thanos and is killed.[28] They are ultimately successful at ending the war, but Thanos is left enraged and promising to kill everyone. Along with Nova, Star-Lord remains in the collapsing Cancerverse as the other Guardians escape.[29]
After the death of Star-Lord, the Guardians disband. Still believing in their cause, Cosmo recruits another team under the name "Annihilators."[30] Rocket Raccoon and Groot later reunite and decide to continue the Guardian's legacy after the duo prevent an incident on Rocket's home world, Halfworld.[31]
The new team appears on Earth to aid the Avengers against Thanos.[32]
Marvel NOW![edit]
After Star-Lord's father visits him in a bar to tell him that it is forbidden for any alien species to visit Earth, Iron Man is attacked by Badoon appearing to attack Earth. The Guardians and their newest member Iron Man defeat the ship; however, London is still attacked.[33] The Guardians defend London and finish off the horde of Badoon but learn that, for violating the "Earth-is-off-limits" rule, or the Spartax Earth Directive they are to be placed under arrest by the King of Spartax. The Guardians manage to escape with the help of Groot, who had recently regrown after being destroyed by a Badoon ship's explosion. The team includes Star-Lord, Drax the Destroyer, Gamora, Groot, Rocket Raccoon, and Tony Stark. In April 2013, it was announced that Image Comics' Angela (Spawn) would join the Marvel Universe due to a legal battle between Neil Gaiman and Todd McFarlane. After appearing in Age of Ultron, she joined the Guardians in November. Captain Marvel and Agent Venom are set to join the team.[34]
The series debuted to mostly positive reviews.[35][36][37][38][39][40] The May 2008 sales estimate for the first issue was 39,854 copies, making it the 61st top-selling comic title that month.[41] The first and second issues sold out;[42] they have been reprinted in a collected edition.[43]
