2. Economic Factors are a Huge Barrier to Lowering Obesity Rates
Although the U.S. has begun to see teen obesity rates level off, this is not the case for teens who come from low-income families or who have parents with only a high school education. According to this article from NBC News, two long-term national studies show that a quarter of adolescents from less-educated households are obese, while only one in 14 kids from more educated families are obese. The piece explains that this may be due to less access to sports, fewer safe areas to exercise outside and lack of supermarkets with fresh food. It also may have to do with lack of funds to enroll children in school and community sports, according to the article. View the full article here.

Locals react to end of shutdown, saying it was "long overdue"
POSTED: Wednesday, October 16, 2013 - 10:16pm
UPDATED: Wednesday, October 16, 2013 - 10:18pm
El Paso, TX (KTSM) — Tonight, America breathes a sigh of relief.
After weeks of bitter arguing between Democrats and Republicans, Congress finally reached a deal on Wednesday night to end the government shutdown, and extend the debt ceiling until February 7th.
"I think it's about time, I think it's wonderful. This should not have taken place to begin with," said Jaime Rodriguez.
"This is a great short term victory and I think it sets the stage for some really long term positive developments for our country," said U.S. Congressman Beto O'Rourke, a Democrat from El Paso.
Some El Pasoans didn't think the deal would happen.
"I'll believe it when I see it. These guys can't seem to get their acts together to save their lives," said Robert Andron.
House lawmakers voted 285 to 144 to end the shutdown and raise the debt ceiling - this following passage of the deal in the Senate.
"I think it's good that they ended the shutdown, that way people can feed their families and pay their bills," said Cedric Howard.
During the shutdown, national parks were closed and work at research centers was halted.
Some 800,000 government employees, including 43,000 from El Paso, were either furloughed or like U.S. Border Patrol agents, working without pay.
"I think they deserve an apology from both sides of the House. I don't think one side is any more guilty than the other. I think it was an all-around failure," said Carol Martin.
"I'm definitely relieved that this government shutdown is over because I know from personal experience as working for the government, even as, like a small life-guarding job, like, there's been a lot of discrepancies with all of this stuff that's going on," said Renata Isa.
Government operations reopen Thursday morning and federal workers who haven't gotten a pay check will receive back pay.
"It just helps a lot of Americans really realize the importance of voting, and realize the importance of going out and really learning how government works and really just how bad it can get," said Marco Herrera.
Not all local lawmakers voted "yes" on the deal.
New Mexico Congressman Steve Pearce voted "no."
Pearce said the agreement "does nothing to change our nation's dangerous course of reckless spending."
He said, "While I am happy that furloughed employees can go back to work, I will not be able to support tonight's legislation, which does nothing to address the problems we were elected to solve."

Paran Church of God in Marietta, Ga. and Chairman of the National Pastors Advisory Council. Walker earned his docctorate in organizational leadership from Regent University School for Leadership Studies in Virginia, and his master's and bachelor's degrees in counseling from Georgia State University.

While at Lee, Lester was a member of Alpha Gamma Chi. He has served in full-time ministry since graduating from Lee in 1986.
"I look forward to Convocation week here at Lee," said campus pastor Dr. Jimmy Harper. "This week is a pivotal time for many on our campus. It gives us time to focus on God and to connect with Him in very meaningful ways. We always have anointed speakers and musicians who touch our hearts and who lead us deeper in our relationship with God."
Weeknight convocation services begin at 7:30 and Tuesday/Thursday morning chapel services at 10:40. All services will be located in the Conn Center and overflow will be provided in the Dixon Center.
Each service will host live worship featuring Lee's Chapel Praise Band.

text: Top 5 Technologies in NFL Stadiums As football fans around the world turn their attention toward the Miami Dolphins' Sun Life Stadium for Super Bowl XLIV this Sunday, Popular Mechanics looked at the other 30 NFL stadiums and found five that lead the league in innovation. By Jeremy Repanich Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery 3 of 5 The Loudest Crowd Seattle Seahawks Qwest Field, Seattle, Wash. On a sunny Sunday morning in March 2000, a 120-decibel implosion took down Seattle's Kingdome. The Seahawks' former home was always known for thunderous noise, with the team's raucous fans creating a deafening home-field advantage, but the deteriorating dome was no longer fit for the NFL. In order to recreate the atmosphere the Kingdome's acoustics created, the Seahawks designed a stadium that would optimally harness the volume of their boisterous fans. Seahawks owner and Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen grew up in the Northwest attending University of Washington football games with his dad, who was a librarian at the school. Husky Stadium is notorious for crowd noise, so Allen wanted to replicate that atmosphere with an open-air venue for his team that was loud like the Kingdome, says Jon Niemuth, principal and design director for Qwest Field's architect AECOM Ellerbe Becket. The architect fulfilled Allen's request, creating one of the league's loudest stadiums, which can get nearly as noisy as a jet plane--135 decibels--and has disrupted visiting teams enough to induce 95 false-start penalties since 2005, the most in the NFL. Contributing greatly to the cacophony is the partial roof that covers 70 percent of the fans from the elements and reflects sound back to the field. Also, with the smallest footprint in the NFL, Qwest Field has a tight seating arrangement that puts fans really close to the field and concentrates their noise. And while the deafening environment in Qwest can in part be attributed to its design, Niemuth is quick to point out that his firm "can't create fans to be loud and rabid and crazy the way [Seahawks] fans are."

With the change of seasons in Winona comes an expected, yet sometimes confusing, change in parking rules throughout town. At 12:01 a.m. Thursday morning, the citys Alternate Side Parking ordinance took effect for another season.
Even though residents and college students had two extra weeks to prepare for the winter parking season, Winona police officers still wrote 557 tickets in the first two days the ordinance was in effect. A majority of the tickets issued were in the vicinity of the Winona State University campus.
The Alternate Side Parking ordinance language was modified in April 2012 to change the season starting date to November 15, ending March 15. The enforcement time is now from 12:01 a.m. to 6:30 a.m.
The Winona City Council unanimously voted to approve the changes, which will give the citys street department more time during the night to clear streets of leaves and to plow downtown sooner after a snowfall.
How it works
All vehicles in designated alternate side parking areas must be on a specific side of the street between the hours of 12:01 a.m and 6:30 a.m. The side of the street the vehicle should be parked on is determined by the date at 12:01 a.m. On odd-numbered days, residents are to park on the side of the street with odd-numbered houses. On even-numbered days, residents are to park on the even-numbered side of the street.
For example, if it is 12:01 a.m. or later on November 19, all vehicles should be parked on the odd side of the street. On November 20, they must be parked on the even side.
Downtown areas with diagonal parking are exempt from the ordinance, but business owners on those streets are responsible for clearing the snow on the sidewalks and parking spaces.
Municipal parking lots are also part of the ordinance. Vehicles may be parked in lot 1 on even-numbered days and lot 3 on odd-numbered days.
The Alternate Side Parking ordinance is in effect for the entire four-month season, and the Winona Police Department will issue $25 tickets to anyone not in compliance.
Last winter, officers issued more than 2,300 alternate side parking tickets to residents. The changes are on a trial basis this winter, and it will be up to the incoming council and mayor to decide if the changes will become permanent.
For more information about the Alternate Side Parking ordinance, visit the City of Winona website, www.cityofwinona-mn.com.

ARLINGTON,Va., March 27, 2014 -- The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) today characterized as "nationally significant" the major "Gathering on Mental Health and the Church" being held in Orange County, Calif. on March 28.
The evangelical Saddleback Church, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange and NAMI Orange County, the local NAMI Affiliate, are co-sponsoring the event, aimed at encouraging individuals living with mental illness, educating family members and equipping church leaders to provide effective, compassionate ministry to those who confront mental illness.
"The Gathering will focus on individuals and families in the Orange County community, but it is nationally significant as a model for outreach that unifies spiritual inspiration with mental health needs. It also represents a powerful trumpet call for an end to stigma," said NAMI national executive director Mary Giliberti.
NAMI maintains a national FaithNet program that works with religious leaders and communities of different denominations. In addition, within the Catholic Church, the National Catholic Partnership on Disability (NCPD) Council on Mental Illness provides training & resources that implement faith-based education to all religious leaders and communities.
Keynote speakers at the Gathering will be Pastor Rick Warren and Kay Warren of the Saddleback Church, Bishop Kevin Vann of the Catholic Diocese of Orange and Steve Pitman, president of NAMI Orange County.
The Gathering comes a week before the first anniversary of the death of the Warrens' son, Matthew, who took his life on April 4, 2013 after a lifelong struggle with mental illness and marks their first initiative to help fight stigma.
Nationwide, NAMI offers several programs to educate and support individuals and families affected by mental illness, including:
Family and Peer Education

Hello all :) I have what I believe is a Japanese maple in my yard and I'd very much appreciate any help in identifying the variety, if that is possible! A little bit of info: the tree came with the house we bought, I believe it has been here for several decades. it is roughly 20-25 feet tall. it consists of two main trunks all the way from the ground (if that means anything). The leaves change color from medium red in May, to wine/purplish-red in June, then slowly turn reddish-green to full green during the summer, and back to red in fall months. The tree produces little red flowers in May, sheds them and quickly turns to forming seed (already happening;some already falling off) all until late summer/early fall, when it sheds them in thousands over a couple of weeks time. Here's a compilation of pictures in different months and some close ups of leaf and seed. Can anyone help? Thank you so much! |

Hi, That's a nice tree! I think it can be 'Osakazuki'. Julien |

Not 'Osakazuki' - the only red it displays is with its fall color but then it does so in spades. To be honest, getting an accurate ID is usually an exercise in futility. With nearly a thousand registered cultivars, some sharing extremely similar characteristics, correctly identifying most JM's is something best left to experts. And even these don't always agree :-)) Truly, it is only those that have very specific attributes that can be reasonably identified with any kind of assurity. Barring any unique characteristics and lack of confirmation of a graft, I'd suspect this was just a seed grown or generic species Japanese maple. Not that these are any less desireable than the named forms :-) Most are lovely trees. |

I read anemone is one of those bulbs that really benefits from an early fall planting. I planted mine at the very beginning of October and have since been noticing foliage popping up. I live in Maryland and thought the over eager sprouted leaves would die back a he first frost kill. Well here we are the middle of January and it's looking like a big swath of bushy lush anemone foliage. It looks great, so I'm wondering if we get a cold spell for a few weeks will it damage the plants, and also is this normal? Will my Dutch Windflowers be ok?! :) |
Follow-Up Postings:
Cold in the teens/low 20s will zap the foliage. They will grow more in the spring, but if you can protect these leaves, it will add to the overall vigor of the plant. We can't grow this species here, but I have the same issues with certain other bulbs. Best thing I know to do with plants like this is to put a deep layer of a light, fluffy, insulating mulch over them when the ground freezes (or when extreme cold threatens) -- pine straw, oak leaves, or regular straw is good. Then uncover when temps appear to be safe in early spring. |
Now one of my precocious little bulbs has been coaxed out to bloom in the middle of winter, hopefully any freezes we have aren't too rough on them. Will cover with straw if cold weather persists. I'll update in a week! Matthew |
Here is a link that might be useful: Anemone
I couldn't get a picture through your link.... just a login to flicker. I'm a little jealous of your success so far, I think it's too cold here for their winter foliage to survive and planting them in the spring is just not enough for a real nice diplay. |

I got an email from a woman in Libya who offered to give me 35% of thirteen million dollars if I will act as her representative with the bank to handle these funds which were her late husband's. Yeah, right.
I know people are greedy, but this is just plain stupid to think that a perfect stranger would offer them money. Where is their common sense? I am tempted to string her along to see how much money I will have to pony up to get the money she promised me. LOL Is there a place to report these scams to prevent others being taken advantage of? The sad thing is that there doesn't seem to be a way to trace these thieves after the fact. Some local people were taken in by the lottery scam that said they won a lottery and they needed to send money to get the funds. You'd think that the fact that they'd never entered a lottery would give them pause, but no, they fell for it. |

This is a place where they like to get back at these scammers... This is a classic one that has been around for a few years... |

I'm surprised that your email provider allowed that email to get through to your email. My email provider places that kind of email in the "junk" mail automatically. For starters, report it to your email provider. |
Report them, but don't respond in any way - once they know they have a valid e-mail addy, they have other means to defraud you. I suppose most folks here know about posting pictures taken with cameras with GPS and how that can help criminals target your kids? I have no clue this is true, but I'm not taking any chances, and don't post any pictures of kids on the net. |
- Posted by west_gardener (My Page) on Sun, Dec 4, 11 at 19:07
shilty, I have also read where cameras with GPS can track the location where you took the pic. |
The email from Libya....or Nigeria has been around pretty well as long as the internet has. As far as scams go, it's right up there with "I have some leftover stuff from another job, let me resurface your drive, or fertilize your lawn or spray your house for termites...for half of what the others charge."...Only works if you are terminally stupid. Some sites ( FB does not) allow "geo sharing"....but you can disable that function on your phone or camera. |
Y'all are reminding me of my favorite scam story. I laugh every time I see it (the wronged party wins, so it's ok). The buyers never did anything wrong, it was purely the seller. That she is dumb enough to get on national tv and show her ruse (she puts down the phone's weight, but it's a picture the buyers end up with, but what was she thinking?!) is absolutely amazing. My jaw hits the table every time with her. Actually, my head is shaking slowly left and right as I type this..... |

I thought some of you might be interested in seeing how I built my new cooler. Follow the link below.
ThinMan |
Follow-Up Postings:
Wow! I'm so glad to see this post... it is exactly what we have decided we need to do for a cooler this year - juggling 3 refrigerators is getting ridiculous. We had hoped to get a garage frame built this past fall but it just didn't pan out. Our eventual plan is to make a small room in the garage. Our other option was to convert a shed that is crammed with kids bikes, toys, a generator, lawn mower, etc. into a temporary cooler but where to put all that junk?! So... a corner of our basement became the logical spot and we plan to start on it in March. You'll probably hear from us with questions! Like my first one ...you don't have the air conditioner in a window - are there any kinds of problems you foresee in not having it positioned outside? Thanks for the link and having done this before us! Laurie |
I'm glad I could give you something to think about, Laurie. The only problems I foresee are having to collect the condensate from the AC and possibly my basement warming up a little as the AC throws heat out of the cooler. I think I can deal with both of those. I'll know better in a few months. TM |
Thank you! This is great info and I love (and need!) the photos. Okay, maybe I'm not as advanced as others here, but what exactly does the cool-bot controller do? Can you build this cooler without the cool-bot? I usually only need cooling overnight (or even morning to afternoon) from the time I harvest to leaving for market, once or twice a week. Could I just use an air-conditioner to cool the area? Thank you for posting this! |
Dee, according to my understanding, the Cool-Bot does two things for you. 1. It tricks the AC into getting the room colder than it normally can. Most AC units won't let you set a temp lower than about 60 F. If you are clever, maybe you can figure out how to trick the AC into going colder than normal, maybe by putting a light bulb near the temp sensor to make the AC think it is still hot. But then, the coils on the AC can ice up with frozen condensation. There is a way around this too by using heating strips and a timer. Lynn Byczinski covers this in her flower farming book, and I added up the price of the parts and decided that I may as well just buy the Cool-Bot. 2. The Cool-Bot senses the temp of the coils and if it senses freezing, it will turn off the cooling cycle for a short time to let the ice melt. At least this is what I think it must do. They don't really say how it gets rid of the ice. I tried pretty hard to avoid spending the $300 on the Cool-Bot, but in the end decided that I couldn't do without it. Hope this is informative. TM |
Thanks so much TM. That extra info was very helpful. I should just bite the bullet and spend the money to do this. Like Laurie I'm juggling several refrigerators, all of which don't always accomodate some of the taller cuts. Sure would be nice to have a walk-in cooler! Thanks! |
Well, I enjoy cutting a few bouquets now and then, and just lurk on this forum from time to time, but have to say your cooler is very cool!! :) |
Thanks, Terrene. I was hoping it would be. :] |

Beta oxidation of fatty acids takes
place in the mitochondrial matrix for the most part. However, fatty
acids have to be activated for degradation by coenzyme
A by forming a fatty acyl-CoA thioester. For short and medium
length fatty acids, they undergo this reaction in the mitochondria.
The long chain fatty acids can't go through the membrane though, so this
reaction occurs at the outer mitochondrial membrane and the product has
to be carried by carnitine across the inner mitochondrial membrane.
They are made into acylcarnitine derivatives by carnitine transferase I
on the outer side of the inner membrane. These are then transported
across the membrane by a translocaseand then they are passed to carnitine
acyltransferase II on the matrix side which puts the fatty acyl group back
on CoA leaving the original fatty acyl-CoA.
Along with this "activation" step,
Beta oxidation of saturated fatty acids consists of a recurring cycle of
a series of four steps.
of the cycle
numbers of carbons
fatty acids
of beta oxidation
What are the inputs of this pathway?
The molecules that start this cycle
(the inputs) are the saturated fatty acid and coenzyme A products (fatty
acyl-CoA). The fatty acids involved can be even numbered carbon chains
with no double bonds. (The ones with double bonds are unsaturated
and will be discussed later.) Some other inputs that are added after
the cycle has started are FAD, water, ATP,
What are the outputs of this pathway?
The products of this pathway (the
outputs) include FADH2,
and of course, the final products. The final fatty acid products
are acetyl-CoA for the even numbered fatty acids (without double bonds),
and for those with an odd number of carbons, it is 3-carbon propionyl-CoA
"Activation Step" (Coenzyme A Activates Fatty Acids for Degradation)
into Mitochondria (important control point between synthesis and degradation)
The First
Reaction of Beta Oxidation (Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase)
mechanism -- Click here
This first reaction is the oxidation
of the Ca-Cb bond. It is catalyzed by acyl-CoA dehydrogenases.
This catalyst is a family of three soluble matrix enzymes. These
enzymes carry noncovalently bound FAD that is reduced during the oxidation
of the fatty acid. This is an oxidation reaction and it should be
similar to that of the succinate dehydrogenase reaction of the TCA cycle
because the first three steps of this pathway are directly analogous to
the steps needed to get succinate to oxaloacetate. The *G should
therefore be approximately +0.4 kJ/mole.
The Second Reaction of Beta Oxidation (Enoyl-CoA Hydratase)
The second reaction in this pathway
is one in which water is added across the new double bond to make hydroacyl-CoA.
The catalyst in this reaction is Enoyl-CoA hydratase. This is also
called a crotonase and it converts trans-enoyl-CoA to L-B-Hydroxyacyl-CoA.
This reactio would be classified as a hydration reaction because you are
adding water. The *G of this reaction should be similar to that of
the Fumarase reaction in the TCA cycle, since the first three reactions
are directly analogous to the steps to get succinate to oxaloacetate.
Therefore, it should be around -3.8 kJ/mole.
The Third
Reaction in Beta Oxidation
mechanism-click here
The third reaction of this pathway
is the oxidation of the hydroxyl group at the beta position which forms
a beta-ketoacyl-CoA derivative. This is the second oxidation step
in this pathway and it is catalyzed by L-Hydroxyacyl-CoA Dehydrogenase.
This enzyme needs to have NAD+ as a coenzyme and the NADH produced represents
metabolic energy because for every NADH produced, it drives the synthesis
of 2.5 molecules of ATP in the electron transport pathway. So, this
reaction is classified as an oxidation reaction and its *G should be similar
to that of the Malate Dehydrogenase reaction in the TCA cycle for the same
reasons as the ones above. Therefore, it should be approximately
+29.7 kJ/mole.
The Fourth
Reaction in Beta Oxidation (Thiolase)
Click for
Mechanism of Thiolase
The fourth and final reaction of
this pathway is the thiolase catalyzed reaction. This reaction cleaves
the beta-ketoacyl-CoA. The products of this reaction are an acetyl-CoA
and a fatty acid that has been shortened by two carbons. So, this
reaction is classified as a cleavage reaction and it is actually a reverse
Claisen condensation which means that it should have about the same *G
as the Isocitrate Dehydrogenase reaction in the TCA cycle. It should
be somewhere around -8.4 kJ/mole.
Repetition of the Beta Oxidation Cycle
The shortened fatty acyl-CoA that
was the product of the last reaction now goes through another beta oxidation
cycle. This keeps happening until eventually you wind up with two
molecules of acetyl-CoA in the final step. This acetyl-CoA is then
available to be further metabolized in the TCA cycle, or it can be used
as a substrate in amino acid biosynthesis. It cannot be used
as a substrate for gluconeogenesis!
Beta Oxidation of Odd Carbon Fatty Acids
Fatty acids with an odd number of
carbons are common in plants and marine organisms. Therefore, humans
and animals that include these things in their diets must metabolize them
in the beta oxidation pathway. Therefore, the end product, instead
of acetyl-CoA, is propionyl-CoA which has three carbons. This must
then be changed to succinyl-CoA to enter the TCA cycle.
Beta Oxidation of Unsaturated Fatty Acids
Unsaturated fatty acids are catabolized
by the beta oxidation pathway, but they require two additional enzymes
to handle the cis-double bonds. These fatty acids (with one cis-double
bond) go through the beta oxidation cycle as many times as they can before
coming to the double bond. The Enoyl-CoA Isomerase makes the cis-double
bond into a trans-double bond and moves it over one carbon. This
product can then continue through the beta oxidation pathway.
For polyunsaturated fatty acids
(with more than one cis-double bond) it goes through the same thing, but
it only goes through one more round of beta oxidation because then
you get to a fatty acid with a trans and a cis double bond. For this
we use 2,4-dienoyl-CoA reductase to produce a trans-3-enoyl product which
is converted by an enoyl-CoA isomerase to a trans-2-enoyl-CoA which then
goes normally through the pathway. An example of this is on pg. 795
in the text book.
Malonyl-CoA can act to prevent fatty acyl-CoA derivatives from entering the mitochondria by inhibiting the carnitine acyltranferase that is responsible for this transport. Thus, inhibiting the beta oxidation pathway. When fatty acyl-CoA levels rise, beta oxidation is stimulated. Increased citrate levels; however, inhibit beta oxidation. Because this reflects an abundance of acetyl-CoA, it too inhibits beta oxidation.

Do not pull loose ends, clip them with scissors to remove. Clean liquid spills immediately by blotting with cloth or sponge. For hard to remove stains, professional rug cleaning is recommended.
The color of this rug in person was spot-on to the picture online. The denseness was very good quality. As I brushed my hand over the top of the fibers, I noticed some shedding going on though. Don't know how long that would last... There was also a very musty smell coming from the rug. I could smell it even before unwrapping it, and it became stronger when rolled out. I don't know if this would have aired out, but because I have serious allergies, I had to ship it right back to the distributor. This really is a beautiful rug, in spite of these downfalls.
RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.Fill out the information below.

The following is a journal of my Dark Heresy campaign. 'The Vermilion Codex' is the name of a volume of forbidden lore that lies at the heart of many of the Acolytes adventures. This introductory scenario, which sets down the premise, is titled:
(part 1)
DH assumes that the player characters start out as currently employed agents of an Inquisitor. However, as a fan of 'caper' movies, I've always liked the part where the team of specialists is initially recruited, so I thought it would be fun to try something similar in DH- starting the campaign with the player character's first meeting with their prospective patron. This was fairly risky- there was always a possibility that the recruitment mission would be a failure, or the PCs simply wouldn't come together at the right time to form a party. I tried to allow for enough failsafes to channel things in the right direction if the scenario went off the rails, but you can't allow for every possibility. Still, being a glutton for punishment, I blundered forward...
I didn't assign dates to the events depicted here until after the party had officially formed; I had to keep the timing flexible to ensure that everyone ended up at the right place at the right time...
The PCs names are bolded the first time they appear. Text in [brackets] contain information relevant to the storyline that was unknown to the PCs at the time.
301.815.M41. The Inquisitorial Black Ship Nicodemus arrives in orbit of the grimy hive-dominated industrial planet of Fenksworld, to take custody of their current batch of identified psykers, in accordance with Imperial law. The capital hive-city of Nova Castillian is abuzz about the ominous visitor which has arrived nearly a month ahead of schedule.
302.815.M41. [Inquisitor Aurellius Montag of the Ordo Hereticus, travelling on board the Nicodemus fulfilling some bureaucratic obligations to his Ordo, has dinner with his old friend Provost Severis, head of the Nova Castillian Arbites precinct. After dinner, Severus asks Montag for his opinions about a possible Conspiracy that his Arbites have uncovered...]
303.815.M41. Venris, a young noble-born cleric in the service of Nova Castillian's Crown District Cathedral, encounters his down-and-out cousin Pietro after his daily services. When Venris inquires about his disheveled appearance, Peitro tells him that he has fallen in with a very dangerous crowd and become addicted to the drug Obscura. His new 'friends' were using him to make contacts with members of Fenksworld's upper class society, but his drug addiction got out of hand and, now that he is of no more use to them, Pietro is convinced that they will try to 'eliminate' him. Venris agrees to help his cousin and takes him in.
Kaarl, a disciple of the Machine God, begins a gruelling 72-hour workshift deep in the Bowels, the lowest functioning district of Nova Castillian, bordering the abandoned Underhive.
304.815.M41. [While Venris is away at services, Pietro breaks under his withdrawal symptoms and disappears.]
In the Adminisratum Annex of Nova Castillion, an adept named Denathor, newly promoted to Munitorium Quastor, spots a discrepancy on a weapon shipment invoice; being naturally paranoid, he investigates, dragging the signatory of the invoice, Sub-Quastor Akton, to the hanger where the shipment is staged. Denathor checks several of the cases of lasguns, and finds nothing amis. When he begins to pry the lid off of the case with the anomalous tracking number, however, he discovers that the case is filled with scrap metal. In a panic, Akton draws a concealed laspistol. This leads to a near-fatal shoot-out, in which Akton reveals that he is stealing lasguns on behalf of parties unknown; Denathor barely survives, while Akton is killed by a mysterious cloaked figure who promptly disappears- apparently after checking the contents of the case himself.
Arbites Trooper Alaric, on patrol in the Administratum Annex, receives a call about a disturbance at a Munitoruim shipping hanger. Upon arriving at the scene of the firefight, he arrests Denathor; he finds no sign of a 'cloaked figure'. Alaric takes Denathor to his Pricinct and, after Denathor recieves some medical attention, he is brought to an interrogation room. While interrogating Denathor, Alaric's investigation is abruptly taken over by Captain Clovix, an Arbites officer who would normally have no jurisdiction over this particular crime.
Capt. Clovix subjects Denathor to a long and repetitve interrogation; not getting the information he was looking for, Clovix sends Denathor to a holding cell to try again the next day.
Later, back at his desk, Alaric receives a secret communication, apparently from an Inquisitor, ordering him to release Denathor and enter a judgement of 'self-defense' -Clovix having not submitted the paperwork necessary to formally take over the investigation.
Returning to his small hab-unit, Denathor is contacted by the cloaked figure- Inquisition Interrogator Sebastian Rao- who enlists his aid in investigating the missing lasguns.
Down in the rough Hive-Bowels neighborhood of Z-Town, streetwise scummer Varn, fallen on hard times, swallows his pride and seeks employment with local crimelord Grim Largo at his public headquarters, a dive bar called The Spigot, so named for the huge industrial spiggot used as a makeshift buttress on the sagging front wall. Varn uses his drinking buddies within the Hammerjacks gang- who frequently work as hired muscle for Largo- as references.
305.815.M41. After services, Venris is contacted by some low-hive Enforcers, who ask him to identify the body of a murder victim who they believe to be his cousin Pietro.
Capt. Clovix, discovering that 'his' prisoner has been released, chews out Alaric, but can take no official action against him since Clovix never filed the necessary paperwork.
Denathor, recuperating form the previous days' injuries at his hab-unit, receives a servitor-delivered batch of Munitorium shipment logs, courtesy of Interrogator Rao. He settles in for a long day of searching for discrepancies similar to the one that alerted him to the missing lasguns.
When his references check out, Varn is hired by Grim Largo as a secondary driver on a mysterious shipment down into the Lower Bowels, a mission led by Largo's tech-savvy second-in-command, Dullos. After a long drive down to a dark and disused section of the Bowels boardering the Underhive, it is revealed that stolen lasguns are being traded to some offworld smugglers for a supply of the illegal narcotic Obscura. However, since the smugglers know that this will be the last in a series of exchanges, and having heard that Largo is understaffed due to a gang war between the Hammerjacks and the Screaming Skulls, the smugglers decide to betray Grim Largo; they try to kill his men and take the lasguns. Most of Largo's men are wiped out, but Dullos dives into a vehicle and flees; Varn manages to jump into the back. As they narrowly escape from the ambush [unaware that a tracking device has been attached to the vehicle by a hidden figure], shotgun blasts ring out followed by the [apparent] war-cry of the Screaming Skulls. The smugglers flee with most of the lasguns.
Kaarl, investigating a strange power fluctuation [caused by Dullos overriding a security program to facilitate the rendezvous], comes upon the shoot-out between the smugglers and Largo's men. He is surprised by a hulking 'jungle fighter'-type Guard veteran who identifies himself as Sgt. Thrane, an agent of an Inquisitor [it was he who imitated the Screaming Skulls war-cry to scare off the smugglers]. Kaarl tries to close a hatchway to trap the smugglers, but the hatch closes too slowly and the smugglers get away. After staging the crime scene to look like a Screaming Skulls gang clash [Thrane had a 'run-in' with some Skulls on the way to the rendezvous], and hiding the few remaining lasguns, he takes down Kaarl's cognomen information and tells him that his boss will be in touch.
Venris arrives at the seedy Bowels-level Enforcer precinct house [at the entrance to Z-Town] to identify his cousin's body and arrange for it to be sent uphive. The enforcers have clearly done little by way of investigating Pietro's death. When he leaves the precinct house, Venris doesn't notice that his servitor-cab is being followed by a battered old limousine; on a deserted stretch of the Arteria, the limousine forces the servitor-cab off the road. Two hulking heavies with guns get out and haul Venris into the limousine. After a short drive, he is dragged into a seedy pub with an enormous industrial spigot buttressing the front wall. Inside, he is taken to an overweight man [Largo] at a private table who asks him why he is snooping after a junkie. Venris says that "he confessed some very disturbing things to me...". Largo is surprised by his honesty and orders his men to take Venris out and 'dispose' of him.
Quintilla, a void-born woman who apprenticed in the art of assassination with a zealous Death Cult, but was expelled from their ranks, wanders the hive Bowels semi-lost, looking for sinners to punish in the name of the Emperor but finding few 'worthy' of her attention. She comes upon some likely candidates roughly dragging a man in the robes of a Ministorium cleric out of a seedy tavern. After a short but heated battle, she and Venris dispatch the thugs, then wipe out Largo's bodyguards inside The Spigot. Largo flees in panic out the back door from what he assumes to be a deliberate assassination attempt. Venris and Quintilla poke around the Spigot trying (unsuccessfully) to get some information, when the Enforcers arrive on the scene. Quintilla is nearly killed, but Venris repays her rescue buy convincing the Enforcers that they are innocent victims who acted in self-defense; confused and scared, the rookie Enforcer shoos them out the back door.
Dullos, driving like a madman, with Varn holding on for dear life, arrives at The Spigot; rounding the corner to the back alley, he slams head-on into Largo's fleeing limousine, sending Varn flying. Dullos jumps into Largo's vehicle and they flee, leaving the injured Varn behind.
Venris and Quintilla, walking down the alley from The Spigot, come upon Varn. Assuming that he may know something useful about the people responsible for his cousin's death, Venris offers to help Varn out. He flags down a servitor-cab and puts Varn and Quintilla up in a rented mid-hive hab unit for the night, then returns to his quarters in the Cathedral.
[As a squad of Enforcers try to make sense of the shootout at The Spigot, a shadowy figure, having tracked Dullos' vehicle to the alleyway, contacts a distant ally via encrypted microbead. He tells him to search servitor-cab records for three people matching the description of the suspects seen fleeing The Spigot; upon finding the address of the cab's destination he orders the information deleted before anyone else finds it...]
