Species Imperative #01: Survival
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Herself a biologist, Julie E. Czerneda has earned a reputation in science fiction circles for her ability to create beautifully crafted, imaginative, yet believably realized alien races. In Survival, the first novel in her new series, Species Imperative, she draws upon this talent to build races, characters, and a universe which will draw readers into a magnificent tale of interstellar intrigue, as an Earth scientist is caught up in a terrifying interspecies conflict. Senior co-administrator of the Norcoast Salmon Research Facility, Dr. Mackenzie Connor, Mac to her friends and colleagues, was a trained biologist, whose work had definitely become her life. And working at Norcoast Base, set in an ideal location just where the Tannu River sped down the west side of the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Coast was the perfect situation for Mac. She and fellow scientist Dr. Emily Mamani were just settling in to monitor this year's salmon runs when their research was interrupted by the unprecedented arrival of Brymn, the first member of the alien race known as the Ohryn to ever set foot on Earth.
Brymn was an archaeologist, and much of his research had focused on a region of space known as the Chasm, a part of the universe that was literally dead, all of its worlds empty of any life-forms, though traces existed of the civilizations that must once have flourished in the region. Brymn had sought out Mac because she was a biologist — a discipline strictly forbidden among his own people — and he felt that through her expertise she might be able to help him discover what had created the Chasm. But Mac had little interest in alien races and in studies that ranged beyond Earth, and as politely as she was capable of, she tried to make it clear that she was unwilling to abandon her own work.
However, the decision was soon taken out of her hands when a mysterious and devastating attack on the Base resulted in the abduction of Emily, and forced Mac to flee for her life with Brymn and the Earth special agents who were escorting him. Suddenly, it appeared that Earth itself might be under attack by the legendary race the Ohryn called the Ro, the beings they thought might be the destructive force behind the Chasm. Cut off from everything and everyone she knew, Mac found herself in grave danger and charged with the responsibility of learning everything she could that might possibly aid Earth in protecting the human race from extinction...
When her field base is mysteriously attacked, Dr. Mackenzie Connor must escape to another planet with an alien archaeologist and find a defense against the unknown aggressor--before they launch a full-scale invasion of Earth.
When her Field Base is mysteriously attacked, Dr. Mackenzie Connor must flee for her life. Joining forces with an alien archaeologist, she escapes to his planet on a quest to find a defense against the unknown agressor-before they launch a full-scale invasion of Earth.

WITHIN a few years it could be possible to boost the success of IVF by checking for major chromosomal abnormalities before embryos are transferred to the womb.
"Potentially, this is a major advance," says Mark Johnson of Imperial College, London. At present, it is only possible to check a handful of chromosomes. But by adapting existing techniques, Joy Delhanty and Dagan Wells of University College London were able to check all the chromosomes in 12 three-day-old embryos.
Abnormalities were surprisingly common, Delhanty says. Only three of the 12 embryos had the right number of chromosomes in all their cells.
The researchers used a technique called comparative genomic hybridisation (CGH). They compared the chromosomes from the embryos with ones from normal cells by staining them with different dyes. Any departures from the normal number of chromosomes, or any large deletions or insertions, show up as differences in the amount of fluorescence. ...

The Steelers are 3-0. That's three wins in three games without Ben Roethlisberger. Troy Polamalu is the most important player on this team and you can't convince me otherwise.
During the summer, we all offered up pretty much the same first-month-of-the-season qualifications: "If the Steelers can somehow manage to go 2-2, then they'll be fine once Ben returns from exile, and the playoffs are a very real possibility."
Well, Pittsburgh accomplished that after Week 2. And as is often the case with fans, we're a greedy bunch. The Falcons and Titans were tough opponents so to sweep them was, frankly, hard to imagine. And after last week's Bucs beatdown, the Ravens are now coming to town. The Steelers might be on quarterback No. 4, but we all want 4-0.
Not so much because of the down-the-road playoff implications, but because it's the Ravens. If, say, the Steelers were playing the Packers Sunday and didn't face Baltimore for another month, we would certainly want them to win, but we would also settle for 3-1 heading into the bye week and the Return of Ben.
The thing is — and this happens every time these two teams get together — I have no idea what to expect. The Steelers could win by 31 like they did in 2007, they could get absolutely demolished like they did in 2006, or it could end on a controversial touchdown … that was, in fact, a touchdown (quit hatin', haters — and, yes, I'm 12 years old).
I was talking to my father-in-law about general sports fandom last week. He has worked in the restaurant business since he was like eight and has never followed sports. He found it both mystifying and borderline insane that usually normal people could get so invested in a game that, in the grand scheme of things, has no consequence on their daily existence.
I didn't even try to explain it because, well, I can't. No, it isn't rational for a grown man to yell at his television for three hours on Sundays. But that's what I do. It's gotten to the point where my wife takes our three-year-old son to grandma's house on game days because there's way too much chaos — the gesticulating, the fist pumps, me shit-talking players who apparently can't hear me through the TV despite my screaming. I get the sense my dog would like to join her on these field trips. And if it's unbearable against a Bucs team that has absolutely no history with the Steelers ('paper champions,' aside), imagine how absurd it'll be this Sunday.
Of course, you know this, perhaps better than I do. I mean, seriously, can you imagine going to watch a Steelers game with a bunch of people you didn't know, many of whom aren't even football fans?
Hell no.
A sports bar is one thing — nobody shows up at 1PM on Sunday for the karaoke. But when we first started dating, my wife couldn't comprehend why there was so much yelling and screaming and gnashing of teeth over a football game. Even after three years in Pittsburgh and seven more in DC and now Middle-O-Nowhere NY, I'm still not sure she gets it. Whatever, that's her cross to bear.
I bring this up for no real reason other than to point out that even though every week is THE MOST IMPORTANT WEEK OF THE NFL SEASON, Ravens Week is even more important than that. It's the "Animal Farm" of the Steelers schedule — "All games are created equal, but some games are more equal than others."
And even without its franchise quarterback — and worse — a 35-year-old has-been replacement under center, we expect Pittsburgh to win. (For the record, I do think Chaz is a "has-been." As I mentioned on SLP #5, I think he'd be the No. 2 anywhere else in the league.) The fact that they're 5-5 since 2005 is what makes this a rivalry. Well, that and guys like Brian Billick, Bart Scott, Chris McAlister, and now Ray Lewis, Houshyomamma and T-Fizzle. Unlike the sad-sack Browns and the you-can't-really-hate the Ochocinco Bengals, the Ravens are a loathsome bunch.
That's why this Sunday will be awesome. But you already knew that.

I AM...SASHA FIERCE DELUXE - Includes five #1 hits "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)," "If I Were A Boy," "Halo," "Ego," and "Sweet Dreams." Also includes bonus tracks "Video Phone" featuring Lady GaGa and "Poison."
(Amazon.co.uk Review) The latest outing from former Destiny''s Child starlet Beyoncé is an intentionally schizophrenic affair. Splitting herself into two separate characters--herself and alter ego Sasha Fierce--is the artist''s way of presenting what she obviously sees as an artistic duality. The first set, I Am..., is intended give a glimpse beneath the surface of her usual R&B-pop persona. Featuring recent single "If I Was a Boy", the soaring "Halo", and ballads like "Disappear", and "Ave Maria", it seems her "real" self is way more saccharine than the lady that brought us sassy pop moments like "Crazy in Love" and "Baby Boy". That side of her personality comes rushing back out on Sasha Fierce, a more rousing collection that kicks off with the infectious handclaps of "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)", ventures into Euro-dance territory with "Radio", and gets surprisingly risque with the voyeuristic "Video Phone". Which part of the album you enjoy most will depend on your musical proclivities, but the new, bifurcated Beyoncé ensures there''s enough diversity to satisfy the most demanding pop aficionado. --Danny McKenna

Police: Residents left violence to TV
Police Cmdr. Brian Uhler said he wasnt quite sure why police made fewer arrests during last Saturdays annual Buc Days Illuminated Night Parade compared with previous years.
Maybe all the people with violent tendencies were watching the De La Hoya-Mayweather Jr. fight, Uhler joked. There were a few people drinking but not many people got out of hand.
Police arrested eight people along the parade route, all for public intoxication.
Tennessee doesn't let Cheney incident fade
A passel of Tennessee state senators shot down an effort by one of their fellow senators to name a proposal to ban hunting while intoxicated in the state after Vice President Dick Cheney.
Republicans quickly moved to kill the amendment sponsored by Sen. Doug Jackson, a Democrat.
Last year Cheney accidentally shot fellow hunter Harry Whittington while quail hunting on the Armstrong Ranch in Kenedy County in South Texas. Cheney, who acknowledged drinking a beer earlier that day, said nobody was under the influence when the accident took place.
The drunken hunting bill sponsored by Sen. Roy Herron, D-Dresden, would apply to hunters on public lands the same standards applied to drunken drivers. The states drunken driving limit is 0.08 percent blood alcohol content. The drunken hunting bill passed on a 32-0 vote.
Zaffirini reaches 35,000 votes in Texas Senate
State Sen. Judith Zaffirini, D-Laredo, who represents portions of the Coastal Bend, cast her 35,000th consecutive vote in the Texas Senate on Wednesday. Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst recognized the milestone with the gift of a gavel.
Zaffirini has a 100 percent voting record dating back to her 1987 start in the Legislature. She also has perfect attendance in the Texas Senate since 1987, except for breaking quorum in 2003 and fleeing to Oklahoma with fellow Democrats after Republicans tried to push through redistricting.
Zaffirinis voting record remained untarnished because no votes could be taken in the absence of a quorum.
During her career, Zaffirini has passed 515 bills and 51 substantive resolutions and co-sponsored and passed another 253 bills.
In 1997, State Legislatures magazine highlighted her 15,000th consecutive vote in an article titled, 15,000 and Still Counting: The Tireless Texan. No one responded to the magazines request for information about similar records in any other state.
I am thankful for the opportunity to cast votes that prioritize the needs and interests of the families of (Senate District) 21 and of Texas, Zaffirini said. This milestone chronicles my continuous commitment to work as hard as possible on their behalf.
Causeway drivers keep us busy, top officer says
Explaining to the Padre Island Business Association why there usually is an officer sitting on either side of the JFK Causeway, Corpus Christi Police Capt. Mark Schauer grinned.

Duerr gets another name wrong, just for kicks
Last week District 4 candidate James Duerr stood up before the Flour Bluff Business Association and kept saying how he was going to represent Flower Mound once he got elected to the City Council. Finally, one of the audience members popped off, Its Flour Bluff.
This week, after Capt. Schauer was describing taking his young son to school, Duerr verbally demoted him.
Im glad Sgt. Schauer talks about dropping his kid off, Duerr said, receiving a quizzical look from Schauer.
Lucks on McCutchons side now, Baker deems
Walking out of the Padre Isles County Club, former District 4 candidate Norm Baker slapped District 4 runoff contender Mike McCutchon on the back, Good luck!
Baker explained that on Election Day in April, when they were running against one another, he told McCutchon, Im not wishing you luck. Thursday was a change of heart.
Signs for McCutchon seen in unlikely place
Duerr and McCutchon signs were all over the island before Saturdays runoff race. Perhaps the most conspicuous sign, though, was McCutchons placed strategically in front of developer Paul Schexnailders rented office.
McCutchon, as the frontman for the Beach Access Coalition, played a big part in bringing about the vote to keep cars on the beach, despite Schexnailders promise that if voters rejected closing 7,200 feet to vehicle traffic, it would kill a planned $1.5 billion island development.

Council meeting open to public -- and to ninjas
The backstory on a mysterious ninja seen at City Council last month has been uncovered.
In a centerspread of a new free publication, The Vent Daily, Mayor Henry Garrett is pictured with said ninja.
The ninja showed up at City Hall on April 24 just as the five-hour meeting was ending.
Dressed in a black robe with a mask leaving only his eyes visible, the ninja peered out from behind a column in the City Council chambers for a few minutes before Corpus Christi Police Sgt. Nick Narvaez kicked him out.
Thats when the ninja approached the mayor for a photo.
He didnt have his hood on when he came up, Garrett said.
The ninja asked for a pic. Garrett obliged. The ninja pulled on his mask, shook hands and then he was gone.
It was really quick, Garrett said.
The photo spread features the ninja at several other Corpus Christi locales and is under the headline 101 things to do in Corpus Christi (Ninja Edition). Its only a partial list, though. As the article states, Completing this list would surely result in our deaths, thus we are forced to provide you with only 12 things to do in C.C. if you are a ninja.

What's worse? For me, it's spiders. Now, I have to admit, I'm no sissy when it comes to spiders. I see one, I kill it, done. But the other day, I think one of 'em found me before I found him!
I was sitting out on the porch waiting for my son to drive in from Arkansas... I had been out there for several minutes. Then, when he arrived, I helped him carry stuff in and so I was outside, in the dark, for some time. I'm thinking that's when the little bugger paid me a visit!
After we were in the house for a few minutes, I got a real itchy spot on my 'backside' and thought it was a mosquito bite. I tried not to scratch it and it stopped itching. I didn't give it anymore thought until the next evening when I put on jeans and we went to see a movie. The minute I sat down in the seat, I felt a really scratchy spot on my 'backside' and when I felt it, it was swollen and bumpy. Hmmmm, not normal.
Once I got home I tried to look at it... pretty hard considering the location... I knew it was no mosquito bite! And yes, my sons would not help me out by looking at it for me! (no surprise, again, considering the location). I ended up taking a picture of it with my phone! No help there... couldn't tell if I was gonna die or not from that blurry photo! Anyway, I put acne stuff on it. It did eventually go down and is on the mend, but I do think it gave me a healthier view of spiders. They can really cause a fuss! Time for the Home Defense spray to come out and get used!!!
Snakes? I just leave 'em alone. I always understood that they did good stuff, so let them be... especially black snakes, they kill mice... and really, those are the things that scare me the most. If I found one in my house, I'd have to move... seriously.

USDA report bullishThe wheat exchanges started the week sharply lower. Most, if not all, of the pressure in wheat was because of pressure from the outside markets, which also were under extreme pressure from a downgrade in the U.S. credit rating.
By: Ray Grabanski, Special to Agweek
The wheat exchanges started the week sharply lower. Most, if not all, of the pressure in wheat was because of pressure from the outside markets, which also were under extreme pressure from a downgrade in the U.S. credit rating. Additional selling was tied to improving weather conditions, as the Southern Plains are expected to cool off slightly and also are forecast to get rain.
The Aug. 9 and 10 sessions had wheat trading higher with support coming from a calmer session in the outside markets. Technical buying was the main feature, as many traders felt Aug. 8's losses were overdone. The spring wheat market was able to start pulling away from the other exchanges because of another week of declining crop conditions. The wheat market also was able to get support from an announcement from the Federal Reserve that it plans to leave interest rates unchanged for at least another two years, and that it plans to take further steps, if necessary, to help spur the economy. Additional support was because of position squaring ahead of USDA's August crop production report, which was released Aug. 10. The report was expected to be friendly to wheat as USDA announced new planted acreage estimated for North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota and Montana.
Report day had wheat opening higher. Wheat's strength was not because of news of its own, but because of spillover support from a sharply higher corn exchange. USDA only made minor adjustments to the 2010 to '11 crop year estimates, but in the end, no change was made in the ending stocks estimate. As for the 2011 to '12 crop year, USDA cut planted acreage 1.2 million acres and harvested acreage dropped 1.3 million acres. The acreage reduction was primarily because of the resurveying result from spring wheat country. The cut in acreage was almost offset by a slight per bushel increase in yields. In the end, production was cut 30 million bushels but that was offset by a 20 million-bushel increase in feed demand and 50 million-bushel cut in exports. The net result was no change in 2011 to '12 ending stocks. The world wheat numbers were negative, as world wheat stocks increased to 188.87 million metric tons, an increase of 6.68 million metric tons from July, mainly because of an increase in production from the Black Sea Region. The report was disappointing, as most were expecting USDA to make larger cuts in spring wheat's planted acreage estimate.
To start the week, corn traded lower. The outside markets influenced the grain commodities and triggered fund long liquidation. The collapse in the stock market pressured the grains markets. Crude oil also was down more than $3.50, while gold and silver traded with strength. The main reason for the negative outside markets was the down grading of the U.S. debt rating by the S&P 500. Nervousness about the economy has traders on edge and money is heading to the sidelines. The weather also appears to be non-threatening and is limiting any upside movement.
Aug 9, corn opened higher and traded with green numbers for the session. The market found support from less volatility in the outside markets and yield concerns. The weekly crop progress report showed the ninth-lowest rating for corn in 25 years. Nebraska's conditions were up 2 percent, but Iowa was down 2 percent, Illinois was down 3 percent, Missouri was down 3 percent and Ohio down 4 percent. There still is a dry region in central Illinois. Brazil also lowered its corn production forecast for the 2010 to '11 season to 56.3 million tons compared with 57.1 million in July's estimate.
Corn futures opened higher, but traded on both sides of unchanged for the session Aug. 10. The market did trade higher into midday, at which time selling pressure took out those early gains. The market then traded close to unchanged into the close because of position squaring ahead of the Aug. 11 USDA report.
Aug. 11, corn opened close to limit up, but slipped slightly to end with strong gains. The market was led by a bullish USDA report. Production came in at 12.914 billion bushels, which was 168 million bushels below trade expectations and down 556 million bushels from July. Yield came in at 153 bushels per acre, compared with trade expectations at 155.5 bushels per acre and July's USDA estimate of 158.7 bushels per acre.
While planted acres were left unchanged, harvested acres were revised down 500,000, acres mainly because of flood damage. U.S. ending stocks for the 2011 to '12 season were estimated at 714 million bushels; 37 million bushels below trade expectations and down 156 million bushels from July's USDA estimate. This leaves the stocks-to-use ratio at 5.4 percent, which is the second-lowest on record. Beginning stocks were adjusted higher by 60 million bushels, in which USDA lowered feed usage by 150 million bushels, ethanol usage by 50 million bushels and exports by 150 million bushels. World ending stocks were adjusted lower to 114.53 million metric tons and down from 115.66 million metric tons in July., which already was a five-year low, and down from 122.93 million metric tons last year. The world stocks-to-use is just 13.2 percent and the lowest since 1973.
All of the grains, as well as most other commodities, dropped hard to start the week, as traders took money off the table in the wake of what could be the beginning of a double-dip recession. Additional selling was tied to improving weather conditions as weather forecasts are calling for temperatures to moderate greatly for much of the major growing region of the U.S. and for rains to move into the dry areas. This is a time when soybeans are approaching their most critical crop development stage.
The Aug. 9 session had soybeans on the defense throughout the session. Pressure was because of a 1 percent improvement in soybeans' crop condition rating. Additional selling was tied to weather forecasts that have pulled heat out of the forecast and put more moderate or normal temperatures in the outlook.
The soybean market traded on both sides of the fence Aug. 10, but managed to rally on the close to end with small gains. Early selling was because of favorable weather forecasts. Weather has turned to be almost ideal for soybeans, as the crop enters its most critical crop development stage. Late session strength was because of position squaring ahead of USDA's crop production report. Traders are expecting USDA to cut soybean harvested acreage because of the adverse spring weather, but some of that will be offset by a decrease in soybean demand. Light support late was because of a hint of a return of heat in the long term weather forecasts.
The soybean market traded the Aug. 11 session sharply higher. The soybean market did slip off of its highs late in the session, but still managed to end with strong double-digit gains. All of the support came from USDA's crop production report. For the 2010 to '11 crop year, USDA cut the crush rate 5 million bushels and exports 25 million bushels for a total decrease in demand of 30 million bushels. This followed through to increase the ending stocks estimate. For the 2011 to '12 crop year, USDA cut planted acreage 200,000 acres and harvested acreage 500,000 acres. The surprise came in a two-bushel cut in yield. The net change in supply was a decrease of 139 million bushels. This mostly was offset by a decrease of 20 million bushels in crush and 95-million-bushel cut in exports. The net result was a 20 million-bushel cut in stocks, now estimated at 155 million bushels. The world estimates were friendly, with world stocks dropping 1.02 million metric tons to 60.95 million metric tons.
USDA only made minor changes to the barley supply and demand numbers. Planted and harvested acreage was dropped 100,000 acres, but barley's yield was increased slightly. This resulted in a 5 million-bushel cut in production, which followed all the way through to show up as a cut in ending stocks now estimated at 58 million bushels.
USDA is estimating U.S. durum production at 57.1 million bushels, down more than 46.7 percent from last year. Durum's harvested acreage is projected to be 1.35 million acres (a decline of more than 46 percent from last year). Compared with July, this is a 7 million-bushel decline in production. To offset the decline in production, USDA cut durum exports 5 million bushels. The net result was a 2 million-bushel decline in durum's ending stocks estimate, now estimated at 13 million bushels.
Aug. 11 cash bids for milling quality durum were $10.25 in Berthold, N.D., while bids in Dickinson, N.D., were $11.
Canola futures on the Winnipeg, Manitoba, exchange ended the week ending Aug. 11 with nearly $7.50 (Canadian) losses. Pressure came from a slowdown in the world economy as well as from weather forecasts that are calling for ideal growing conditions for Canada. Additional selling was tied to spillover selling from a lower U.S. soybean complex.
Aug 11's cash canola old crop bids in Velva, N.D., were $25.12 while new crop September bids were $24.89.
Dry beans
In its August report, USDA estimated total dry bean production at 20.45 million per hundredweight. Acreage is estimated at 1.19 million acres, a decline of 35 percent from last year. Total pinto bean acreage is estimated at 403.500 acres, a decline of 52 percent from last year. Navy bean acres are estimated at 194,000 acres, a decline of 30.6 percent from last year. Black bean acreage is estimated at 212,500 acres, a decline of 25.25 percent from last year.
Aug. 11's cash old crop sunflower bids in Fargo, N.D., were $33.05 while new crop bids were $28.25.

Season saver
Trade for goalie Beech keeps IceRays in playoff hunt
CORPUS CHRISTI - On the back of Kevin Beech's goalie mask, there is a beach motif, which would be fitting for his move to Corpus Christi.
But when it comes to Beech donning an IceRays sweater, they'll tell you it wasn't destiny as it was the culmination of a remarkable series of events, with the dominoes falling the right way for a franchise whose luck has mostly been bad in recent years.
"When you talk about timing, it couldn't have been better," IceRays coach Brent Hughes said. "We were just so lucky to get Beech. As a coach, I don't know if I would've given him up."
Entering today's home game against Bossier-Shreveport, Beech is 9-3-1 with a 2.21 goals against average and .923 save percentage in 13 starts since being acquired from the Mississippi RiverKings on Jan. 30. That deal, which cost the IceRays only future considerations to be settled after the season, arguably was the move that saved Corpus Christi's season when it was at a crisis point.
"Yeah, absolutely, and (especially) with the way he's been playing too," IceRays forward Chad Woollard said. "He's been playing like the goalie of the year that he was. We owe a lot to him. He's stepped in and definitely been a big part of this team."
On Jan. 28, the IceRays saw their season pretty much hanging in the balance.
Goalie Kevin Nastiuk, who had carried the team since his arrival in mid-November, informed Hughes and general manager Pat Dunn that he was leaving to play in Germany's top league, a rare opportunity for a Central Hockey League netminder. That left the IceRays once again scrambling for a goalie while they were trying to catch Rio Grande Valley in the Southern Conference playoff race.
"To know that he's gone the rest of the year, that was a pretty big blow to our organization," Hughes said of Nastiuk. "Pat and I looked at each other (in shock) and we had nowhere to turn that day and the next day. After we started making some calls, I had to figure out which direction I was going to go in."
Good goalies are generally hard to find at any time during the season, let alone in late January. Hughes had two options: He could try to find a free agent like he did with Nastiuk or reel in a goalie via trade. Armed with a shortlist of available goalies, he started working the phones, but wasn't hearing back from his top choices.
Complicating matters was the fact he likely would need to get immigration approval, a process that can take from two weeks to a month. While the IceRays had the capable Kris Tebbs, last year's starter, on their roster, the prospect of going with just one tested goalie for an extended period was not something they could afford.
That meant exploring a trade would be the best option. And a goalie soap opera playing out in northern Mississippi would have a direct impact on the IceRays. As it turned out, if Nastiuk was going to leave, it couldn't have come at a more opportune time.
A year ago, Beech was the CHL's Most Outstanding Goaltender. He led the league in wins (35), was second in games played (50) and fourth in goals against average (2.44). He backstopped the RiverKings to the Northern Conference final and the team reloaded in the offseason with another long President's Cup playoff run in mind.
However, Beech underwent double hip surgery last summer, and his rehabilitation from the procedure kept him out for the season's first two months. Beech eventually returned in early December and went 6-3-2 with a 3.21 goals against average and .875 save percentage, hardly stellar numbers given his past accomplishments.
"I'm a guy who in the summer trains pretty hard," Beech said. "With the surgeries and being out all summer, I think I came back a little rusty. The body was good, but I hadn't played a game in about nine or 10 months and mentally, I was a little rusty to put a full 60 minutes together every night."
And there was added pressure, as RiverKings coach Kevin "Killer" Kaminski used three different netminders for much of the season and then in late December, traded for Tim Boron, a Cup-winning goalie with Colorado in 2007. Beech and Boron appeared to be the RiverKings' duo in net, but Boron got hurt and Kaminski brought in Mark Sibbald from the lower-level Southern Professional Hockey League on a tryout contract.
Sibbald promptly won his first five starts, giving up only nine goals in a run Beech called "unbelievable." With Boron coming back and Sibbald's five-game contract up, Kaminski had to make a decision on which goalie to keep. That's when Hughes called inquiring about Beech, who had been made available for trade around the league a few days earlier.
"When Beech became available, I talked to Killer about him and Killer was kind of thinking about it," Hughes said. "He thought he could get a pretty good player for Beech and I told him I wasn't going to give up a player. Then he kind of hemmed and hawed around for the next couple of days and I figured out he'd have to make a move with a goalie sooner or later. The he decided to make that decision."
So during a road trip to Tulsa on Jan. 30, Beech was notified about the trade. He was on a plane to Corpus Christi that night, armed with only enough clothes for an overnight stay.
As for the RiverKings, they promptly went on a seven-game winless streak that started the day Beech left. And Sibbald? He never won another game in Mississippi silks, going 0-4-1 before walking out on the RiverKings on Feb. 25 to return to Huntsville (Ala.) of the SPHL. That has Kaminski, who once had too many goalies, looking to find a replacement in net.
Was that a Curse of Kevin Beech?
"That's just hockey," Beech said. "There are ups and downs. It just happened to be the time I left that they went on (a skid). I think it was just a coincidence, that's all."
And Beech became the only Most Outstanding Goaltender award winner in CHL history to be traded the following season. But he said he wasn't shocked by the move.
"There were three goalies and you knew with the way Sibbald going, we knew he was going to stay," Beech said. "It was down to Boron and me, and I really felt that I hadn't played to keep my job and hadn't done my job yet. They were in a spot where every point matters and they didn't want to gamble on 'Is he going to get his game back or is he not?' and they had to make a decision."
With the IceRays, there was no question about Beech's role. He was brought in to be the No. 1 goalie, and was immediately put in net on Jan. 31 against Rio Grande Valley.
He became the first IceRays goalie to post a shutout in his debut, stopping 26 shots in a 6-0 win that day. That set a tone, for both Beech and his new team.
"I think it was good just to get right into it," Beech said. "That gave me the confidence that I was going to be the guy. In Mississippi, there were three goalies and you're worried about your job whereas I got here right away and got the confidence right away. That's helped my game. I'm happy to be here and it's a good fit for me."
According to Hughes, Beech's first impression showed there would be no drop-off from the high level of play that Nastiuk brought nightly. With Beech in goal, an improving IceRays squad surged past Rio Grande Valley and into control of the South's final playoff spot. Beech has played a big role, going 4-0 against the Killer Bees so far, with a 1.37 goals against average and .937 save percentage.
"What it sets is the confidence in the net back there," Hughes said. "We gained confidence with (Nastiuk) in goal and I knew we could lose that easily this year when he left. When Beech came in and pitched that shutout, that just revived our team knowing that we're not going to have any two steps back with our goaltending. We're just going to keep moving forward."
And the trade is one that could have ramifications for more than just this season.
"The beauty about the trade is he's not a veteran and he wants to play," Hughes said. "We could see Beech playing in Corpus for another few years, there's no question."

FORT WALTON BEACH — Firefighters rescued a man who appeared to be drowning in the Santa Rosa Sound Monday afternoon.
About 2:20 p.m. it was reported that a man was flailing in the water after falling off his personal watercraft.
Two firefighters jumped in the water off a dock at Fort Walton Landing and swam out to the man with a rescue buoy and line, said Battalion Chief Shannon Stone with the Fort Walton Beach Fire Department.
They brought him back in and hoisted him onto the dock where paramedics could assess his condition.
The man, who looked to be in his 50s, was conscious but disoriented and obviously had an altered mental state, Shannon said.
After initial treatment, he was taken by ambulance to a local hospital.
The personal watercraft was still idling in the sound when rescuers arrived, Shannon said.

From our guests...
There are no words to describe how amazing this past weekend was...Everything was splendid, and the energy and enthusiasm with which you all made our event so spectacular was VERY apparent.
There is a Hebrew word "Dayenu," often said at Passover, which translates loosely to "It would have been enough." My mother said this to me over the weekend, and I think it rings true. "Had EarthRise offered only it's amazing natural beauty, Dayenu!" Our wedding would have been fantastic with only the gorgeous setting of the EarthRise property.... but you all made it so much more.
—All our best, Jonah & Julia
This is an awesome facility – the energetics are balanced and so supportive of the work we embraced. The food is exquisite and personnel supportive and very service oriented. Thank you/Mahalo.

Defoe 'da man?
Daniel Routledge analyses Darius Defoe's chances of sneaking into the GB squad for the 2012 Olympics.
Last Updated: 06/03/12 3:13pm
It was suggested to me on Saturday that Darius Defoe might just be making a late charge to get into Great Britain's Olympic squad.
His amazing display in Newcastle's stunning victory at Plymouth Raiders on Friday was the highlight of an impressive season by the power forward. I'll get on to his summer chances in a minute, but first I have to talk about the game itself.
Raiders fans must have gone through the full gamut of emotions on Friday night. Doubtless there was some trepidation beforehand, given their two previous thrashings by the Eagles, mixed in with a bit of optimism.
Frustration that another Eagle was having a career night against them in the first quarter, maybe some resignation as Newcastle built up a big lead in the second period. Disbelief as their team put on yet another fourth quarter rally and jubilation as they took a seemingly unassailable five-point lead with 30 seconds left.
Agony as Charles Smith did for them again with an overtime-forcing three-pointer and despair as the Eagles ran away with the game in the extra five minutes.
It'll be scant consolation for them that they witnessed an epic basketball game and I wonder what it will do for the psyche of the team - particularly Paul Williams, who missed two foul shots with 18 seconds to go that would have effectively won the game.
With that result, Leicester's defeat to Glasgow and Plymouth's loss in Guildford, it looks a mere formality for the Eagles to win the league from here. Doubtless they will point to the fact they still have five games to play against Worcester, Leicester and Plymouth, but those sides also play each other and it's hard to see the Eagles dropping three or four more than any of them.
Back to Defoe now, and you have to be impressed with how he is playing this season. On Friday he posted 14 points and 12 rebounds, seven of them offensive, whilst hitting five of his eight shots including a couple of and-ones.
Great numbers I'm sure you'd agree, but those weren't his stats for the game, that's from the first quarter box score! He ended up with a staggering 25 points and 21 rebounds and had the triple-double that never counts with 10 offensive rebounds and 11 defensive.
Now one game does not an international call-up make, but from where I'm sitting I'd say Defoe is having his best season since joining the Eagles in 2004.
His biggest problem, as I see it, is his position. If he were a guard, then maybe he'd have a chance, but unfortunately for him Great Britain's strengths lie with its 'bigs.'
As good as Defoe's numbers this season are, Joel Freeland is posting better at Euroleague level and according to the efficiency rankings he's the second best player in Spain's ACB. Dan Clark and Robert Archibald are also plying their trade in what is probably the second best league in the world. Despite injury, Eric Boateng is also putting up decent numbers in Greece.
And I haven't even got to Pops Mensah-Bonsu, who had a double-double in the Turkish Cup Final recently and is top of the TBL with Besiktas.
So, as well as he is playing, I can't see Defoe making a late charge into the squad.
It was disappointing, if somewhat predictable, to read John Amaechi's latest thoughts on the state of British basketball over the weekend. I guess, if nothing else, it is impressive that he can profess to know so much about the BBL, given I don't think I've seen him at a game since he was playing in the league over a decade ago.
It saddens me that he uses the platform the game gave him to consistently knock it and I feel he undermines his own argument with some of his statements. The foreign players' argument is so boring it's untrue and it's an argument that was lost at least 15 years ago. And that's ignoring the fact it's technically illegal.
Look around the world, in virtually every sport, wherever you go there are foreign players. I did a EuroCup game last week featuring Mike Lenzly's Nymburk - are Czech fans moaning that six of their players are not from the Republic? And are their opponents Riga, who have the same number of non-Latvians? No, it's about wins and losses. It's time to move on.
To hanker after some pre-Bosman, pre-Kolap idealism is pointless and actually counter-productive. At the national team level, British basketball is better for having all the above (and many more) playing in the leagues in which they do. Even Amaechi, who was dismissing their chances not so long ago, now concedes 'they won't embarrass themselves' - high praise indeed.
The 'no coaching in the BBL' remark was really quite extraordinary given our proximity to the Olympics, which will feature two coaches who began their careers in the BBL. How many leagues can lay such a claim?
The sad truth is somewhere in there are some valid arguments, the lack of facilities and the exorbitant costs of those that are available for example, but these are hardly the fault of British basketball.
How about asking Sport England why, when their own figures say three times as many people play basketball as rugby league, they've invested three-and-a-half times as much money into rugby league as they have into basketball? Or twice as much in netball, which, whilst it has more comparable figures, is still a way behind in terms of participation.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying those particular sports don't deserve their investment, just that basketball would appear to be disproportionately under-funded compared to pretty much every other sport.
Surely these are the questions a man of John's undoubted standing, intelligence and eloquence could be asking on behalf of the sport?
But he chooses not to and for a man who I once heard on commentary say 'I don't really like basketball', I only wonder why he persists in talking about it.

Morris is as quiet and comfortable as a Morris chair, and has the same vintage feel. Once a Top 100 name in the early 1900s, Morris fell completely off the roster in 1995, probably due to lingering fallout from his identification with Morris the cat's ("the world's most finicky cat") 9 Lives cat food commercials.
A more distingushed namesake is Morris (Mo) Udall, an influential congressman, and, from literature, Morris Townsend in the Henry James novel Washington Square, which was made into a movie titled "The Heiress," with Montgomery Clift playing the part.
The usual nicknames for Morris are Morrie/Maury or Moe; a more distinctive one would be Moss. Morrie Schwartz, subject of the bestseller Tuesdays with Morrie was born Morris.

I think up down changes... When you measure that your hands position changes then you think yourself in front of mirror which is your back side then you measures that changes.. When image is formed your left hand image is situate left side of yours and right side image is situated right side of yours. So for upside i.e image of face is formed upside of mirror and and image of leg is formed downside of mirror.........

I think it's more about the fact that we have two eyes in the same horizontal plane. If you put your head to one side, then the images change and you see things differently. Try it!

Although the dental industry has come a long way in terms of patient comforts, there are many people who still avoid going to the dentist due to anxiety. We understand and we can help! At Lee Dental Centers, our patients achieve the dentistry they need and deserve through our sedation dentistry services. Sedation dentistry helps San Antonio dental patients relax by safely inducing a medicine-induced state of sedation.
Many of our patients appreciate the relaxing effects of Nitrous Oxide gas or laughing gas during their procedures. They have the benefits of a relaxing appointment without the longer recovery time associated with other forms of sedation
Our board-certified periodontist is able to perform IV sedation, where you will be in a subconscious state for your dental procedure. You will have no sensation of pain and often no memory of the procedure at all. Imagine your teeth and gums get the treatment they need, while you never experience the sounds, smells and sensations of the dental office.
Furthermore, the personalized care and compassionate service from Lee Dental Centers can relieve tension about San Antonio sedation dentistry or any dental procedure. When you call or come in for any dental service, we explain your dental options so you understand your treatment. You are actively involved in the decisions regarding your dental care, which often alleviates anxiety about receiving treatment. We will always discuss your current state of oral health and the implications it presents for your future. You are encouraged to ask questions, from anything about insurance to the types of dental materials we use.
Lee Dental Centers provides soothing and effective sedation dentistry for San Antonio, Leon Springs, Boerne, New Braunfels, Schertz and Garden Ridge, TX.

From my Forbes.com blog The New Persuaders:
PayPal, the online payments company that eBay bought in 2002, is legendary in Silicon Valley for spawning an incredibly talented group of founders, investors, and executives at startups that read like a Who's Who of Web success stories. The so-called PayPal Mafia includes Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk, LinkedIn cofounder, angel investor and Greylock VC partner Reid Hoffman, hedge fund and early-stage investor Peter Thiel, Yelp cofounder and CEO Jeremy Stoppelman, YouTube cofounders Chad Hurley and Steve Chen, and many more.
Now, it looks like a new corporate organization is moving in: the Google Mafia. With the surprise appointment today of longtime Google executive Marissa Mayer as CEO of Yahoo, it now appears that the Google Mafia could prove almost as powerful, though in a different way: It's more of an executive mafia than a startup mafia. But these former Googlers are now in high-profile positions around the Valley and the larger tech industry, in very influential companies. …
