NY Court Allows Espaillat to Withdraw Petition
Lawyers for NYS Senator Adriano Espaillat have temporarily withdrawn their petition in their fight over his race to unseat U.S. Representative Charles Rangel. WAMC's Tristan O'Neill reports…
The lawyers got permission from a state Supreme Court justice Monday to withdraw their petition so they can refile later this week using broader legal arguments.
Espaillat spokesman Ibrahim Khan says the move lets them keep their legal options open while they fight for transparency. He says the campaign could now push for a new vote to be held.
Rangel campaign manager Moises Perez says both sides want clarity. He says he's seen no evidence to suggest there's been a problem with transparency.
A tally shows Rangel with a lead of 802 votes. There are still about 2,000 absentee or other ballots to be counted.

It's THURSDAY! What are you eating?
Happy Thanksgiving to all my neighbours in the USA!! Hope you all have the day you planned!:)
coffee/hwc x 2 and one of those 2 with 1 tbsp of vco
egg salad on an oopsie
ground beef/shirataki stir fry
99% Lindt
Totals= CAL 1,059 CARBS 16 FIBRE 5 FAT 84 PROTEIN 51
Happy Thanksgiving!
Well, I'm not tracking anything today, but I do plan to keep it low carb . . .
Breakfast: Coffee w/ HWC
Whey w/ Almond Milk
Thanksgiving Feast:
Veggies dipped in Cream Cheese Beef Dip
Ham and Turkey
Cauliflower Fauxtato Casserole
LC Cheesecake w/ Nut Crust
Can't Wait!
Hi Cathy,
I see you are in Ontario--where? I am in Montreal, so no thanksgiving for me today either!
As for what I'm eating, mostly the fat bombs I made yesterday--those things are too darn good!
Hi Mary. I live in Toronto. Go easy on the fat bombs - they can have a negative effect on some folks if eaten in excess. I wouldn't want you to find out what that means....;)
Yes, I know what can happen if you eat too much fat. That has happened to me before with coconut oil I think. So far so good with these things though (crossing my fingers!).
Good to know. I started consuming c.o. without knowing that it could be 'problematic' initially and suffered without the benefit of advice. Yikes! No problems now though.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
I had a bulletproof coffee for breakfast, anticipating the big Thanksgiving lunch. Surprised I kept my eating to a healthy level:
coffee, HWC, butter, CO
2 oz. turkey, about 10 green olives, 1 TB ham, SF cranberry relish, flaxseed focaccia stuffing, green salad, blue cheese dressing, 2.5 servings of lc cheesecake (ok, I kinda overindulged here :o) and more coffee.
dinner: 1 oz cheese and some herbal tea. REALLY not hungry after lunch.
Overall, kept to my calorie, carb and protein goals. NK made a huge difference for me this year. Normally I snack my way throughout the day on Thanksgiving and repent later.
Had everything so nicely planned out, then DD got creative with the menu. Fine on calories, protein, fat, not so much on carbs.

Don't Shoot The Messenger... [:-o>
I want to start off by saying that I like Mario and HONESTLY hope that he improves and that he has improved. But IMO, no where nearly enough!!!
I realize that stats aren't everything...but I think that it's time to stop making excuses for MW. He is NOT where any of us had hoped that he would be by this time. I think that we can be honest about his performance WITHOUT BRINGING ANYONE ELSE INTO THE MIX!!! (ie: VY, RB, etc.)
Don't misunderstand this thread...this IS NOT another Mario Sucks thread! NOT MY INTENTION AT ALL!!!
But let shoot straight guys...I did some checking into the stats and MW isn't even in the TOP 60 in the league in sacks!
And compared to a League Leading 50 tackles by Zach Thomas...Mario is sitting at 7 tackles! And before somebody jumps on the "But He's ONLY A Rookie" bologna...he's not in the top 5 in sacks and is NOWHERE NEAR the top of the list in tackles. Mark Anderson DE w/Chicago is leading the sack list with 5.5. And Ernie Sims with DETROIT is leading the tackle list with 43 tackles...followed up by Demeco with 38 tackles!
I realize that taking up for MW is more an issue of "saving face" than ANYTHING else...but IMO, it makes us look like we're just riding the ship down. IMO, it makes us look like we simply can't admit that MW was a poor decision (at least at this point). I can't wait to see how many people will say, "You can't judge MW after ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, OR SIX games...it's ONLY been six games!" Come on guys. MW hasn't done well at all! He's been a HUGE disappointment, IMO.
Let's compare him to other DE's in the draft:
First Round:
#1--Mario Williams
7 T's, 3 A's, 1.5 S's
#13--Kamerion Wimbley (drafted as DE, moved to OLB)
11 T's, 3 A's, 3 S's (in 5 games)
#20--Tamba Hali
11 T's, 2 A's, 2.5 S's (in 4 games)
#32--Mathias Kiwanuku
4 T's, 1 A's, 0 S's (in 4 games)
Second Round:
#63--Darryl Tapp
5 T's, 2 A's, 2 S's (in 4 games)
Third Round:
#71--Chris Gocong
(Played 0 games)
#91--Frostee Rucker
(Played 0 games)
#92--Jason Hatcher
2 T's, 2 A's, .5 S's (4 games)
Fourth Round:
#113--Victor Adeyanju
12 T's, 1 A's, 0 S's (5 games)
#126--Elvis Dumervil
0 T's, 0 A's, 0 S's (1 game)
#127--Ray Edwards
5 T's, 0 A's, 2 S's (5 games)
Fifth Round:
#135--Rob Ninkovich
2 T's, 2 A's, 0 S's (3 games)
#140--Parys Haralson
1 T's, 0 A's, 0 S's (4 games)
#156--Julian Jenkins
1 T's, 0 A's, 0 S's (3 games)
#159--Mark Anderson
7 T's, 2 A's, 5.5 S's (5 games)
#160--Brent Hawkins
4 T's, 1 A's, 0 S's (3 games)
Sixth Round:
#191--Jeremy Mincey
(0 games played)
#197--Melvin Oliver
7 T's, 3 A's, 0 S's (5 games)
Seventh Round:
#213--James Wyche
(0 games played)
#237--Stanley McClover
(0 games played)
#253--Dave Tollefson
(0 games played)
I'd like to have some honest dialogue about MW.
There is NOTHING about Mario that even comes CLOSE to being #1 & First round pick "worthy." I don't want to get into an "I told you so...Mario sucks...we should've taken ___?___." thread. I just don't feel that MW has lived up to his expectation as a #1 pick.
I just think that it's about time to be honest with ourselves and not be so -like with Mario. MW has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH RB, VY, ML, DF, or anyone else.
Some men just want to watch the world burn. ~Alfred Pennyworth

Re: Don't Shoot The Messenger... [:-o>
There is a reason he isn't on any top lists as a tackle....defensive linemen don't usually accumulate a lot of tackles. Its just not in the job description. If your expecting him to come in and be higher on the list than demeco ryans in tackles thats unrealistic. Lineman to a linebacker=apples to oranges.
He has a sack and a half. in 5 games. Not stellar, but not a shutout. He is a rookie, and if the theorum about it taking a whole year for a d-lineman to adjust is true, then we are really ahead of the curve. Has he gotten more sacks? No. But he is getting closer. I think he's learning the little tricks to get past the line now. I saw him blow up the tackle and drop julius jones perfectly in the backfield. That is what i believe he can do.
Finally, the sacks to me aren't as important as the amount of times he PRESSURES the opposing qb. If he doesn't get a sack out of the play, but he makes the qb throw it out of bounds im ecstatic. What more could you want but pressure up front?

Re: Don't Shoot The Messenger... [:-o>
Mario is ramping nicely. Stats that are kept for NFL record keeping are only one type of measurement. We ain't winning games and it is easy to get 100 people in a virtual room and see something 77 different ways, but I would bet that most would agree that our rookie DE is incrementally improving. However, the impact and velocity of that improvement is certainly debatable.

Re: Don't Shoot The Messenger... [:-o>
Good post. Mario has shown some flashes but for the most part he has been a dissapiontment. But I think of Yao Ming when I see Mario. Yao was a project his first season and not ready for the big lights of the NBA. But he has developed every season since and now is one of the two best centers in the league. Yao now has the skills and confidence to dominate games. I hope Mario's develops as well. We all knew Mario was young and inexperienced. Hopefully we will see improvement as the seson progresses and as each season passes.

Re: Don't Shoot The Messenger... [:-o>
In my view, Mario had his best game today. Despite no sacks, I thought he played better overall than in the Miami game, and is beginning to also wreak havoc against the run. He still has a LONG ways to go to justify his draft position, but today he looked like he has at least some potential to become an impact player. I thought he made some strides today, and I hope that improvement continues. If so, he might yet justify the selection.

Im not much for research, so i understand if you don't want to, but it would be interesting to see how those stats of mario's compare to dwight freeneys, or michael strahans, or julius peppers...just to give us a gauge of where his stats put him on a plane with his peers. /two cents.

Re: Don't Shoot The Messenger... [:-o>
i agree with the yao comparison completely. he's a physical freak whose game is a little behind his body, like yao was. he's basically the exact opposite of demarco who has been fantastic since his game is so polished.
i look at the first couple of games and see confused mario standing around. i look at the last few games and see super mario looking for a fire flower

Re: Don't Shoot The Messenger... [:-o>
Off the top of my head, it appears you are using the first four game stats.
He actually had one of his statistically better games today (no sacks), but if you are just watching his play, it appears that he is improving each game.
Holding the Cowboy defense to 3 points in the first half is an accomplishment. (One that doesn't add up to much in the end, but it shows signs of life). The defense is not talented enough to stay on the field after three turnovers in the second half.
Also, I would suggest that you can't look at players without looking at the surrounding players. For example, Julius Peppers plays on the Dline that is very talented and very deep. With Seth Payne going down for the year, our line is gonna be hating it even more.

Re: Don't Shoot The Messenger... [:-o>
I as well have been disappointed with his performance thus far. I have seen marked improvement, but I do not feel that he has shown enough flashes of greatness to warrent his pick. I was a strong advocate for trading down, and I really felt that Ray Edwards who is also a similar athletic freak would be able to produce just as much at a much better price and draft slot. Mario shows good effort chasing plays down, but I don't feel he should be in that position very often. He needs to be hitting the QB more, even if it's not a sack, just knock him down. He needs to pursure the QB more than the WR's at this point.
The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we had when we created them.

Re: Don't Shoot The Messenger... [:-o>
What I think alot of us are forgetting is the time lost having Mario try to learn two positions. Meaning all off-season and pre-season and the first game against Philly. He couldn't focus on one position and improve on it. I don't think I began seeing improvement until he was left alone at DE. I think had we allowed him to focus on just one position he would be where he is now in the Redskins game. Each game after the Philly game he seems to have calmed down and become more aware of what's going on around him. This game Parcells focused in on Mario, in the first few minutes I saw him split a double team, even though he didn't get the tackle I thought that it was well done. Parcells focused on Mario, because honestly he didn't really have to worry about the rest of our line. Weaver and Babin should have had better games considering the Cowboys were lining up up to four people on Mario's side. I'm not saying they sucked, they did alright, but they IMO should have done better. Even with them focusing on Mario he still had an impact and this gives me hope that he will improve.

Re: Don't Shoot The Messenger... [:-o>
Is he meeting the fans expectations? No. Was how his impact was sold to us, or the fans expectations themselves realistic or fair to Mario? Nope.
The guy's shown that he can be a difference maker, and he's steadily improving. I'm happy with him at this point, I was nervous after the first 2 games, but he's turned around considerably since then, IMO. The 1st pick in the draft always gets held under the magnifying glass due to their draft position, and with all of the variability of situations to get drafted into, how the media perceives you, and what position you play, it's REALLY difficult to outshine every other player taken in the draft. You're competing with hundreds of rookies, most of which are in better situations than you, and the fans/media expect you to out-highlight all of them. That's a tall order. Mario got drafted onto a team coming off a 2-14 season, with a new coach and a defensive unit largely devoid of a talented nucleus of players to add to. Alot of the other rookies he's competing with to woo your interests are playing in more stable situations and with better support. Guys like Mario, Anthony Weaver, Demeco Ryans, maybe Dunta...that's the start of our nucleus on that side of the ball IMO. Mario's a great player to build from and I'm still very glad we drafted him. This year's draft looks to be very solid, and if we can have similar drafts the next 2 years we'll be pretty close to making a deep playoff run.

It has to be. when his number was called cant change the fact that it takes time to progress. Travis johnson was a non-entity his first year, but is a solid contributor this year. give him 2 seasons.

Re: Don't Shoot The Messenger... [:-o>
The thing you've got to understand, is that Mario & Demeco are the first pieces of our defense. These other guys you mention are the final piece, big, big difference. We suck, & have very little talent other than Mario & Demeco on defense.
And it would be hard for any pure DE (not an OLB in a 3-4) to match even a rookie LB in tackles....

Re: Don't Shoot The Messenger... [:-o>
an average day for a DE in this league is 2.5 tackles, no sacks, and 1-2 pressures. a great day is 1 sack, 3 tackles, and 3 pressures. mario had 5 tackles, 3+ pressures, and an unaccounted for tackle behind the LOS (jones bounced off the right side that mario stood up, ending up in a tackle for loss when he was forced to bounce back inside). seriously, find another scapegoat, mario had a great day for an NFL DE, let alone a 5 game rookie.
if you want to criticize mario to me, break down the preseason, and first 3 games, and compare his play throughout the process. "mario is a #1 pick and didnt get get 12 sacks by game 5" doesnt fly with football fans.
LYB, i know damn well that you're not new and that you're well versed. which means you know damn well that statistics dont mean anything to defensive linemen unless you're talking to someone from espn. if mario forced 30 turnovers and had 500 pressures and qb hits ... he's a bust if his 1.5 sacks dont compare to ware's 10 sacks and no other contributions. (i'm exaggerating to make a point). mario had his best game to date, but because he didnt get the sack, his contributions go unnoticed by the uninformed.
as for being "an immediate impact". i never heard that, i think the phrase was created by fans. mario is a physical phenom, but a project as a football player. his developement has actually been very impressive considering the low base mentally (football-wise) that he came from and by this time next year should be the major impact. where it was said that he'd come into the league as the best player ever, i never saw.
i always appreciate your threads and opinions LYB so here's my basic response to your intent. mario williams is exactly what i hoped he'd be and i'd pick him again. at 21 year's old without much of a training program he's shown that he can overpower tackles. he's able to outrun runningbacks. he hasnt given up on plays and will chase until the whistle blows which puts the "lazy" remarks to rest. his mental progress is blatently obvious. his technique leaves plenty to be desired but it's exactly as i expected. again, i'd take him first overall. i dont say that as a texans' fan, i say it as a football fan. leinert, cutler, bush, & young arent on my draft radar. without trading down (which was obviously impossible), mario & d'brick are the only ones i look at in the top 5.

Re: Don't Shoot The Messenger... [:-o>
There are so many more serious concerns with the team, without cracking on one of the few bright spots of the day.
The Texans held the Cowboys to 3 points in the first half. They are not good enough of a defense to deal with the short fields that come with not taking care of the football and staying of the field after repeated 3 and outs.
And it ain't going to be any easier with Seth Payne out given our DT situation.

Judge Hands Deion Sanders Child Support Payment Order
Deion and Pilar Sanders spent the day in Collin County Court Tuesday. The estranged couple came to a child custody agreement and the judge handed Deion a child support order.
Deion Sanders didn't have anything to say as he left court Tuesday evening. It was just moments after a judge order him to pay Pilar Sanders $10550 a month in child support. He also has to make a $3500 monthly mortgage payment on a home in Celina and pay Pilar's lawyers $275,000.
Pilar Sanders told the court she believes the Sanders estate is worth $250-million-dollars.
She was asking for $24,000 a month in child support payments to cover a long list of expenses.
"It's not about amount. It's about what's best for the children and they're safety, so I'm very happy about that," said Pilar Sanders.
The estranged couple agreed Deion Sanders will maintain custody of their two boys until school let's our, Pilar their girl. But Pilar will get sole custody of all three throughout the summer until the parties meet again in early August.
"I'm very proud of the parents, they were able to reach an agreement with regards to parenting time for their three children," said Sanders Kids' Attorney Jeffery Shore.
The media was asked to leave for part of the day's proceedings. Deion Sanders also agreed to continue paying the kids' health insurance & medical costs, as well as for their clothes and extra circular activities.
I think they've been way over exposed to the battle between their mom and dad and hopefully because mom and dad were able to reach an agreement today that battle will calm down," said Shore,
On the stand, Deion Sanders also tested that his estranged wife had removed six pods of items from their Prosper mansion, including a special artifact given to him by the Bishop TD Jakes.
The judge order Pilar Sanders to return the item by June 1. The rest of their divorce will continue through arbitration.Copyright © 2014, The Baltimore Sun

So of course my weight gain is sodium/water. I've already had 1/2 a gallon of water so far and will have another 1/2 gallon by the end of the day and will do that again tomorrow and Wednesday. So that when I get on the scale Wednesday night it will reflect my true weight for the week.

Only 3 Alabama Abortion Clinics Remain Open
Three of Alabama's five abortion clinics remain open after complying with a new state law that sets stricter building requirements.
The law was passed by the Legislature last year and it goes into effect Tuesday.
The Alabama Department of Public Health says clinics in Tuscaloosa, Montgomery and Mobile have worked to comply with the law's requirements for wider halls and doors and improved fire safety measures. A clinic in Huntsville closed Friday because it couldn't meet the requirements. But it is planning to move to a new location and get a new license.
A clinic in Birmingham has been closed since January because of other problems, but Planned Parenthood Southeast is working to reopen the clinic.

Field & Stream Sportsman 16 Gun Fire Safe 37 37
Appears solid I hope I never have to test the fire resistance of this safe, or the durability of its lock and hinges, but this unit appears to be solid. The installed hardware that holds interior shelf brackets are not level with the opposing side's racks, so the shelves cannot be truly level. It's a small discrepancy that may or may not bug some people. This product arrived boxed on a pallet, so it's best to unpack it outside (if weather permits). If you arrange for delivery, it might be delivered by just one person (driver) who might not be able to deliver it INSIDE by himself. My driver volunteered to call for another helper (time delay) but gave it a go himself and was ultimately able to deliver it inside to my preferred spot with just a little help from me. My driver did not have a mover's dolly, so it would be helpful to have a strong dolly or "magic mover" silicon disks on hand at time of delivery, or if you move it yourself. I recommend this product if you can get it on sale. December 20, 2014
Works just fine for our needs. Good quality. Seems to be heavier than what was stated. Shipper had a higher weight but that didn't effect quality, just needed more muscle to move it. December 15, 2014
a value for the price this safe has good quality for the price.i am very satisfied. December 14, 2014
Very good for the money I got this safe by an online purchase and free shipping. Loved that deal. Safe appears to be quite heavy duty. Plenty of room inside for all that I wanted to be in the safe. Glad that I bought it. November 30, 2014
Great Safe for Price purchased this safe and I'm very satisfied... well built.. took three of us to get this thing upstairs.. lots of room for guns and valuables. The shelves are practical and like the fact they are adjustable to your needs. Carpeting at the floor is sloppy but does its job. Definitely would recommend this product. November 30, 2014
appears to be nice i recently bought the field and stream 16 gun safe its got plenty of room for my needs and the outside looks sharp three locking bolts and some fixed dead bolts seems like a good amount of locking power i like the dial combo. door is very heavy and the metal appears to be heavy duty which is why i finaly decided to buy this safe well and the price got it for 450 the only thing i can really say otherwise is the inside carpet they were alittle sloppy with the glue but over all nice middle of the road safe November 27, 2014
the safe is very well made for the price safe has good weight to it and holds my guns and other equiptment well. i guess all the safes out there arn't made to hold what they say but for all the stuff i have in it its perfect.i also like the fact its only has a comination lock no key or electronic lock. for the money i think this safe is a very good buy October 19, 2014
Good safe for the money Safe is solid and lock works great. Did not have the problem with uneven shelves as others have described. If you want to use all of the shelves for storage on one side, you really only have room for about 6 long guns on the other. I think it would be pretty tough to get 16 guns in this safe and you definately would not have room for any shelves. September 11, 2014
Well Built Safe Great safe for the money with a sturdy build. A little lighter than I would prefer, so floor mounting or concrete bags will make it a little more hard to steal. Other than the shelves not being level, it is perfect for my needs and the money I was willing to spend. The sale at Dicks and the option to open a credit card with additional savings made it an excellent deal. September 2, 2014
Gun Safe won't open after less than two years! Don't buy it! I bought this safe from Dick's about a year and a half ago. Now it won't open after regular use. I have to spend $300 to have the safe drilled to get my guns out and I can't get any response from the manufacturer to honor the warranty. Now I have to buy another safe and I will not buy another Field & Stream or Stack-on product after this experience. June 16, 2014

The enthralling new novel in Rendell
Ruth Rendell has won three Edgar Awards, the highest accolade from Mystery Writers of America, as well as four Gold Daggers and a Diamond Dagger for outstanding contribution to the genre from England's prestigious Crime Writers' Association. Her remarkable career has spanned more than forty years, with more than sixty books published. A member of the House of Lords, she lives in London.
"No one surpasses Ruth Rendell when it comes to stories of obsession, istability, and malignant coincidence."
-Stephen King
"Unequivocally the most brilliant mystery writer of our time.
-Patricia Cornwell
"Ruth Rendell is my dream writer. Her prose style...has the disquieting intimacy of an alien touch in the dark."
-Marilyn Stasio
"It's a pleasure to report that Ruth Rendell, at the age of 82 and after publishing more than 60 books, has given us yet another gem. A pleasure but not a surprise, since Rendell has for years, along with her friend P.D. James, been bringing new sophistication and psychological depth to the traditional English mystery."
"The characters jump off the page. The page-to-page surprises are so clever that the reader is left agape at each twist and turn. The pieces fit together brilliantly.


text: Webber: I had to find a balance, something that stimulates and I found it with Porsche 5 November, 2013 Mark Webber in Abu Dhabi Mark Webber has admitted that fading motivation prompted his decision to retire from Formula 1 while revealing that his deal with Porsche is ideal for the phase of his career that he is in right now. Austin and Brazil will be the Australian veteran's last two grands prix in a career spanning more than a decade, netting 9 wins and 40 podiums. Webber, 37, is switching to Le Mans sports cars, to head Porsche's new prototype foray. But he admits he was already starting to think about retirement last year, "Porsche wanted me for 2013. but I said that I wasn't ready yet." "But during [2012] I started to think about a change. I had already been at Red Bull for a very long time, so you do think about doing something else. That's human nature," he explained. Webber admits that he courted a move to Ferrari, but ultimately decided last Christmas to quit Formula 1. Mark Webber on his mountain bike Another factor was his fitness, "A lot of people have trained with me, but most are gone after less than two years. I never had to be motivated to keep fit. "But over the past year the urge went away. So I had to ask myself why. Then it becomes clear – 'Mark, you're not 19 anymore!' He admitted that, increasingly, the desire to do things other than Formula 1 crept in. "In my case, the reasons are very personal," said Webber. "I want to spend more time with my family, my partner, my friends. Suddenly there are things on the radar that weren't there before. "I had often heard other sportsmen and woman talk about the problem of their motivation going away, but I always thought to myself, 'What?' But the fact is that it does go away!" he admitted. The Porsche Le Mans racer of the type which Mark Webber will drive in 2014 "Also, when you're 36, you think differently to when you're 25, and that doesn't just go for drivers. As an athlete, you put so much into your career. "I wouldn't say that we make sacrifices, but if you start thinking that, then maybe it is time to do something else. You have to believe that it's all worth it. "I'm enjoying the summer in Australia and then suddenly you have to go to Jerez for winter testing and you think, 'Hmm…' "But I also knew that I wouldn't be happy if I stopped racing completely. You have to find a balance, something that stimulates you and I've found that with Porsche. "I know we have a lot of hard work ahead of us, but it will not be like Formula 1. Next year there will be 20 grands prix again and if you're in a top team, it's pretty exhausting," he said. "I want a different balance in my life and the timing is right, and [finding the right time to retire] is not easy for an athlete. Look at Roger Federer, look at Valentino Rossi. "I have the feeling I'm going pretty well at the moment, even if I don't have the results to prove it, for reasons that we both know," he told correspondent Mathias Bruner. (GMM) Subbed by AJN.

Re: [Crossover] Interlinked [FF/PKMN] (RP)
(OOC: Hope this doesnt seem to odd, but Cherens part of this post will be in 3rd person, since he is just a NPC)
Zayna White
Gear Station, Nimbasa City
Clay, I returned coolly, eyes narrowing. Of course; they
send the only guy in old Unova who I couldnt physically beat into a pulp. Clay hadnt changed much since the merge, retaining his thick build and gruff manner. He dwarfed IngoEmmets calmer twin brotherwith his grizzly size. Clays mining company had blossomed with the discovery of the crystals, and apparently he had been keeping pretty busy in the Underground. I hadnt seen him since Cheren was put in as a new Gym Leader.
Crossing my arms, I slipped into my best defiant stance and spoke in an almost casual tone, So, I hear youre taking my stuff.
Miss White Ingo warned under his breath. Unlike Emmet, the black-clad Subway Boss wasnt afraid of me.
Eminent Domain, Clay responded as-a-matter-of-factly, jutting out his chin. The Council wants to use a few rails to transport crystal. Figured itd be a good way to get it to the outlyin cities.
Gee, well isnt that nice, I sneered. But what makes you think you can just take whatever you want?
Clays indifferent expression folded into a displeased scowl. What the heck do you think eminent domain is, White? Were a government body, and we have the right to appropriate property for the good of the people.
Screw eminent domain, I countered, throwing my hands up. Ive worked too hard on rebuilding the Battle Subway, Clay. Im not just going to hand it over all willy-nilly.
Theyre only taking a few lines, Zayna, Ingo calmly pointed out. The Battle Subway will still be operational.
I stared at Ingo incredulously. Whose side was he on?
I dont care how much or how little, I stubbornly resisted, just the fact that theyre taking whats mineours!
Clays frowned deepened, bringing out the deep wrinkles in his weathered skin. If you stopped bein so selfish, you might realize that the Councils tryin to do somethin good here.
It was my turn to scowl. Excuse me for being less than enthused about it.
The Gym Leader stared me down, his gaze an intense mix of pity and disgust. Whats gotten into you, White? You used to have a better head screwed on between your shoulders.
My expression darkened when the tumult of emotions came. How dare he! He had no idea what I was going through. This world was messed up, and I had lost half of who I was in a night I couldnt even remember. I had been trying to cope with it, but apparently the
had to stick a thorn in my side and make matters worse.
I growled at the Gym Leaderbut what came out didnt sound at all human. My whole body vibrated with a deep rumbling rich with feral ferocity. I took a step back, startled by my own voice. I glanced at Ingo and Clay, anticipating horrified looks
But they were just staring. As if they hadnt heard a thing. I stared back at them, bewildered. Was was that even real? What just happened ? I heard a soft whimpering at the back of my head, certain that it came from Makar.
The Mining King grunted and turned to Ingo, as if deciding that the Subway Boss was a more competent person to talk to. The Council is more than willin to offer compensation fer the trade-off. Well have an assessor come to check out the lines within the week.
I barely heard his words as I tried to make sense of what had just occurred. The headache I had been fighting off was now in full swing, making the task much more difficult than it should have been. I rubbed at my temples, suddenly feeling exhausted. I didnt want to argue with Clay anymore. I knew that if I was going to get to the bottom of this, I had to go straight to the source.
A trip to the capital was in store.
Compensation, Miss White, Ingo emphasized minutes later, back in my office. After Clay left, the Subway Boss had been incessantly griping in my ear trying to convince me to comply with the Council.
We might be able to complete our expansion project with the added funds, his brother, Emmet, eagerly agreed.
I was rubbing furiously at my temples again, pleading for the headache to relent. Wearily, I admitted, Yes Compensation could go a long ways But at what cost?
I shuffled the papers on my text, pushing them aside until I had exposed a map of the subways. Theyre thinking about taking one of our more popular lines, I pointed out on the map. If they take that, well lose a big chunk of our challengers. Less passengers equals less donations and less attention and, well, you get the picture. Were barely scraping by as it is, no thanks to the cost of energy these days The monsters dont really help much either.
I see your point, Ingo mused, stroking his chin while studying the map.
So what else can we do? Emmet frowned.
Complain, I grumbled, sinking into my chair. I grimaced as the migraine pounded at my skull.
Negotiate, Ingo corrected, looking at me sternly. They might be willing to try other rails. I believe there are some we can give up with minimal loss to our income.
I waved a hand dismissively, Either way, Im going to go to the Capital and get to the bottom of this.
Youre what? the twin brothers gaped simultaneously.
Was it that hard to believe? I had to admit, the idea didnt exactly thrill me. Facing the Council after going AWOL wouldnt be the most enjoyable thing in the world to do, but this was something I had to do. I had to stand up for the Battle Subway, and let them know I was a force to be reckoned with. I was also determined not to get sucked back into their politics.
You heard me, I rolled my eyes in exasperation. Has the sub to the city left the station yet?
Still in shock, Emmet responded, Y-yes. Half an hour ago.
Thats just peachy I muttered dryly and glanced down at the map once more. This meant I would either need to find a different path to the Capital, or chase the train down. Neither thought sounded pleasing, but the former was more realistic than the latter. In that case, Ill take the Hearthome line. Maybe I can catch an airship to the Capital from there.
Are you sure about this, Miss White? Ingo asked cautiously.
Of course. Someones gotta do it.
Should we accompany you? the white-clothed Subway Boss offered.
No, I shook my head, instantly regretting the pain it caused. Youre needed here. Ill be fine.
Are you certain, Miss White?
Of course, I smirked confidently. Im the Champion, remember? I think I can handle myself.
Ingo frowned. Just before slipping from my office, he muttered, Sometimes its hard to remember that.
Council Building, Capital City
ARPers: CM
Cheren tucked his Xtranciever in his pocket, ignoring its unremitting vibrations. Normally, he wouldnt be one for neglecting its attention, but he had more important duties to attend to. The young man strode down the halls of the Council Building determinedly, the expression he wore serious but calm. While he was here on official business, he had also been invited by an old friend. It was an interesting turn of events, one that Cheren hadnt expected, but he sensed that something was afoot. What that could be, he wasnt sure But he had to wonder if it involved Zayna.
If so, then maybe he wasnt as prepared as he thought he was.
Straightening his tie, Cheren approached one of the many secretaries that occupied the building. A blonde-haired woman glanced up at him from behind her desk with a smile, instantly recognizing him.
Good afternoon, Cheren, she greeted, tapping at an earpiece. How may I be of assistance?
He nodded at her, though honestly had no idea who she was. It was a little unnerving to have strangers know himsomething that came with his new positionsbut he was still getting use to these situations.
I am here for a meeting with the Champions, the Gym Leader got straight to the point, remaining strictly business-like.
She returned the nod as if she knew his purpose in being here all the long. Theyre expecting you in the Saffron Roomdown that hallway, she gestured with a wave. Sixth door on the left.
Cheren didnt need the directions, but gave a brief bow of gratitude nonetheless. Without another word, he continued on his way, clutching nervously at the folders he carried. He hoped that the materials he had prepared would be enough to persuade the Champions, but the boyish side to him quavered at the thought that he would soon be meeting with his childhood role models. He had been with them in Council meetings before, of course, but he never had to present a proposition directly at them. Hopefully, all would go well.
Taking a deep breath, Cheren plunged himself into the conference room. To his surprise, the meeting seemed to already be in session. The Champions he had been expecting were presentCynthia, Alder, and Lance were all sitting around the table. But a fourth person was speaking to them, a woman that he did not recognize.
Cheren did his best to mask his surprise, though his eyes darted to the clock hanging on the wall overhead. Had he been late? In an even tone that did not betray his anxiety, the youth pardoned, My apologies. Am I interrupting something?
He hovered in the doorway, waiting for either an invitation or a dismissal.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Subject: Mexican Cartels Operating Along the Border Region of Costa Rica
and Panama
Mexican Cartels Operating Along the Border Region of Costa Rica and
Panama - 03 December 2010 The following conclusions were made by the
Public Security Ministers from Costa Rica and Panama regarding the Paso
Canoas border region:
o That activity in this area is comparable to the activity along
the Tijuana sector of the U.S.-Mexico border.
o That this area serves as a drug crossing point for drugs from
South America to North America. It also serves as a crossing point for
cash flow from North America to South America.
o All major drug cartels are believed to be operating in Costa
Rica. (ANALYST COMMENT: OH really??? No one else stated that when we
were down there) Evidence of this is the dismantling of cells working
for La Familia Michoacana and the Sinaloa Cartel.
o The Panamanian Public Security Minister provided evidence that
Mexican drug cartels are operating in Panama by stating that many of
these same members have been arrested and are now imprisoned within the
o Both ministers have defined the Paso Canoas border region as
""chaotic, disorganized, porous, open, and of great concern".
o In an attempt to resolve the situation, representatives from both
governments plan to meet to discuss the issue in January of 2011 in
David, Panama.
o Another attempt to counteract this problem is the creation of 12
border checkpoints in areas to include Puerto Armuelles, Sixaola, Bocas
del Toro, and other heavily forested areas in the Chiriqui province.

TheSTN – Jose Calderon Could Excel In The Triangle
The New York Knicks will be experiencing quite a few changes going into the 2014-2015 season. Most of the focus seems to be on the triangle offense put in by new head coach Derek Fisher, and of course their star player Carmelo Anthony. While Anthony is certainly going to put up some outstanding numbers in fantasy basketball individually, most fans are hoping that this team can be competitive in a weak Eastern conference. One guy who could be a pretty big key for their success is Jose Calderon. Throughout his career, Calderon has mostly been known as a guy who Continue reading

Where the joyride of pension reform may lead
Jonathan Eley, personal finance editor at the Financial Times, while welcoming the huge changes being made to the pensions industry (which will give policyholders far more control over their money) has highlighted the following disadvantages:
- More people will be subject to the annual ordeal of self assessment
- Some people will pay too much tax when they receive their money and will then have to face reclaiming it from HMRC
- The funds, instead of being locked away in an annuity, will be taken into account when assessing contributions to long-term care
- Too many people will end up investing the money in buy-to-let property, in his words "a singularly bad idea in many respects"
- HMRC is trying to obtain powers to access our bank accounts to settle outstanding tax liabilities. Will they have the power to raid pension savings once they're in drawdown?
- Insolvency is on the rise among over 65s, could pension pots be treated as assets for bankruptcy purposes?
As always sound professional advice is essential.

A Surprise in Materials Chemistry: At Vienna University of Technology, materials for lightweight construction, protective clothing or sports equipment can be produced at high temperatures and high pressures. This process is faster, better and more eco-friendly than other techniques.
"Microflowers" made of PPPI, the world's most mechanically stable organic polymer. The blossoms are approximately five microns wide.
The earth's crust works like a pressure cooker. Minerals typically do not form under standard conditions, but at high temperatures and pressures. However, an environment of extreme heat and pressure has been considered to be absolutely unsuitable for organic molecules.
Scientists at Vienna University of Technology found out that under such seemingly hostile conditions, organic materials with remarkable material properties can be synthesized – for instance Kevlar, an extremely versatile high-performance material.
Steam Instead of Toxins
It seems counterintuitive: one might expect large, complex organic molecules to be destroyed by heat and high pressure. But at 200 degrees Celsius and 17 bars, Miriam Unterlass and her team at TU Vienna have synthesized organic polymers, which are usually extremely hard to create and require highly toxic additives. Instead of hazardous solvents, the team at TU Vienna uses nothing but harmless water vapour, making the new method extremely eco-friendly.
The principle of so-called "hydrothermal synthesis" is well known from geology. Many gemstones only form deep down in the ground, in high-pressure water reservoirs. In contrast to these inorganic minerals, which are often mainly made up of silicon and metal ions, many high-performance materials are organic. They primarily consist of carbon and hydrogen.
Kevlar is an example of such a high-performance polymer. It is extraordinarily robust and it is used for protective clothing or for construction elements that are supposed to withstand extreme strain. Such materials also play an important role in aircraft construction, because they are much lighter than any metal parts with comparable properties. Organic high-performance polymers are huge organic molecules with a very stiff structure, kept in place by a multitude of bonds between the atoms.
Extremely Durable, but Hard to Synthesize
Such durable materials, however, are very hard to synthesize: "We have to deal with two contradictory requirements", Miriam Unterlass explains. "On the one hand, we want to have rigid materials which do not dissolve and do not melt even at high temperatures. On the other hand, this means that we cannot just dissolve and then crystalize them, as we would if we were dealing with simple rock salt, for example." The technique developed at TU Vienna works quite differently: the polymers are forming and are crystallizing simultaneously, uniquely supported by hydrothermal conditions.
There are many advantages to this procedure: no dangerous byproducts are created, the energy consumption is dramatically reduced, and the synthesis in the pressure reactor is much faster than it would be using any other techniques. Also, the final product is better: "Our method yields materials with higher crystallinity, which further improves the mechanical rigidity", says Miriam Unterlass.
Looking Inside with Infrared Light
Fine-tuning of the process is complicated, however. Mass and energy transport inside the reactor have to be very well known to understand exactly what is taking place. Of course the pressured rector cannot just by opened during the reaction to see what is happening. Therefore, a special infrared probe is used, which can easily withstand the extreme conditions inside the reactor. "When we put the probe inside the reactor, we can follow in real-time what happens inside, without having to draw any samples", Unterlass explains.
With the new high-temperature IR-probe – it is one of only two such devices worldwide – it will become easier to develop even more synthetic techniques. The team has plenty of ideas: "There is a plethora of organic molecules which promise great material properties if we manage to polymerize them", says Miriam Unterlass.
