Days at the Taylor County Detention Center are busy and full of paperwork.
Jail staff members spend a large part of their day completing the necessary forms to house state inmates. And, so far, the detention center has been able to house more state inmates than Jailer Rick Benningfield originally thought.
That's not a bad problem to have, he says, because it means more money in the County's pocket.
Main Street in Campbellsville, 1970. Shively's, Scott's, Lerman Bros. and other stores line the street. That era may be long gone, but now you can stop in Druther's Restaurant and let the memories come flooding back.
As part of a planned remodeling of Druther's, local artist Trena Corbin has painted a 28- by 6-foot conversation piece that is truly a blast from downtown Campbellsville's past. The mural features Main Street as it appeared in 1970, the year Druther's first opened its doors.
A Campbellsville man has been indicted on charges alleging he sexually abused three children younger than 12.
Oliver L. Schmitz, 23, of 134 Coppock St. was indicted last Tuesday by a Taylor County grand jury.
Schmitz was charged with seven counts of first-degree sexual abuse.
According to the indictment, he is accused of committing the acts between April 1 and May 14.
Campbellsville Police Detective Sgt. Patricia Thompson, who is investigating the allegations, said the alleged crimes were reported after a child told a parent about the incidents.
The high winds that preceded Tuesday's heavy rain left scattered minor damage throughout the county Tuesday.
According to Ronnie Dooley, Taylor County Emergency Management's public information coordinator, reports were minimal.
"We had some trees reported down throughout the county," he said.
There were two significant incidents of damage.
A wind gust tore away a portion of the metal roof at Shoe Sensation at Green River Plaza.
A Lebanon man has been arrested and charged with DUI after being stopped at a traffic safety checkpoint.
James M. Sandusky, 20, of 990 Hundley Lane was arrested at 11:23 p.m. Friday, July 31.
According to Sandusky's arrest citation, he was stopped during the checkpoint and Kentucky State Police troopers smelled alcohol on him.
The citation states that Sandusky told the troopers that he had drunk five or more beers. Alcohol was also found in his vehicle, records state.
An Elk Horn woman has been charged with growing marijuana.
Jamie Marzec, 45, of 1615 Speck Ridge Road was cited Thursday, July 30.
According to her arrest citation, Marzec had allegedly been growing a marijuana plant in her back yard.
The citation states that Marzec told Taylor County Sheriff's Deputy Mark Dickens that the plant was hers.
Marzec is scheduled to be arraigned in Taylor District Court on Monday, Aug. 17.
The Southern Arts Federation has announced that $38,122 has been awarded to Kentucky arts organizations for fiscal year 2010-2011 in support for touring artists.
Campbellsville's Central Kentucky Arts Series received $1,441 for Wood and Strings Theatre.
Through the Regional Touring program, the National Endowment for the Arts and the Southern Arts Federation partner to offer nonprofit organizations fee support to present artists from outside of their states.
An inmate who recently escaped from the Marion County Adjustment Center in Lebanon was arrested Monday in Taylor County.
According to a Taylor County Sheriff's Office report, James Combs, 27, was arrested after sheriff's deputies received a tip at about 12:30 p.m. that he was in the Raikes Hill Spur Road area.
Upon arrival, the report states, Combs fled into a wooded area and was apprehended about 30 minutes later by a Taylor County Sheriff's Office canine unit. He was arrested without incident. Sheriff's deputy Ricky Underwood assisted.
Students at Campbellsville and Taylor County public school systems headed back to classes yesterday morning.

It seems alcohol sales haven't been the City tax boom or a widespread social problem as some residents had argued.
Ed Miladin, the city's Alcoholic Beverage Control officer, gave the Campbellsville City Council an update on alcohol licenses during its regular meeting Monday night.
More than a year after voters approved limited alcohol sales in Campbellsville, there are only two restaurants now serving, Miladin said.

Flickr Hive Mind is a data mining tool for the Flickr database of photography. Flickr Hive Mind is a search engine as well as an experiment in the power of Folksonomies. All thumbnail images come directly
from Flickr, none are stored on Flickr Hive Mind. These photos
are bound by the copyright and license of their owners, the thumbnail links take to you to the photos
(as well as their copyright and license details) within Flickr. Because some other search engines (Google, etc.) index parts of
Flickr Hive Mind, you may have been led here from one of them. Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, almost certainly the best search engine for photography on the web. If you are a Flickr
user and use Flickr Stats you
may have seen people being led to your photos via Flickr Hive Mind (as a Referrer).
Flickr requires that I inform you that Flickr Hive Mind uses the Flickr API, but is neither endorsed nor certified by them.
There are literally hundreds of other web tools built around the Flickr API, see
Flickr Bits for a bunch of examples.
If you are unhappy with your photos' presence on this site, you can (a)
make your photos private for yourself, friends, and family. These settings will be instantly honored by
Flickr Hive Mind and all other API-driven applications. (b) Hide your photos globally from text and tag searches on 3rd party sites that use the Flickr API, via your preference settings on Flickr. See the privacy tab at:
http://flickr.com/account/. To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites.
(c) Finally, you can
Banish Yourself
From Flickr Hive Mind. To banish yourself from Flickr Hive Mind, you must first authenticate to Flickr, which lets Flickr Hive Mind identify who you are. Once logged in, come back to this area
and there will be a link to banish you. If there are any problems email me at nosflickrhivemind ... at ... fiveprime ... dot ... org. (a few people with weird characters in their user names may have had problems)Log In To Flickr Now

"Ultimately, we believe that advancement in cloud computing technology will be driven by open source initiatives where large communities of engineers can collaborate and develop new code for the new applications and demands posed by the cloud model," says Shelton Shugar, SVP Cloud Computing at Yahoo! - and upcoming Keynote Speaker at SYS-CON's 4th International Cloud Computing Expo, in this Exclusive Q&A with Cloud Computing Expo Conference Chair Jeremy Geelan.
Jeremy Geelan: What are the chief advantages of Cloud Computing from the point of view of Yahoo!'s customers worldwide?
Shelton Shugar: Yahoo! has more than 500 million unique users per month across the world. Yahoo! Cloud services enable us to provide superior user experiences and deliver targeted content to our enormous audience. Examples include faster content access around the globe, real-time sports updates, a personalized homepage experience, targeted news feeds, geo-specific ads and many more.
In addition, Yahoo! Cloud technologies enable us to innovate faster based on common, global and scalable platforms, thus enabling consumers to gain access to innovative features and products faster than ever before.
As one of the largest providers of consumer Internet services in the world, Yahoo's cloud operates at virtually unprecedented scale, making it a unique environment and testing ground for cloud computing technologies.
Geelan: You have been quoted as saying that "Cloud is pushing up the Operational Excellence curve" – what exactly do you mean by that?
Shugar: Almost no other company can boast of having to tune its infrastructure to deal with the technical requirements and high standards of performance that are involved in serving more than 500 million unique users per month across the world. To meet this challenge, Yahoo!'s Cloud includes a collection of infrastructure and functional services targeted at dramatically improving the company's efficiency throughout the entire product development cycle, from gathering user feedback and insight, to feature testing and iteration to ongoing product operations.
Cloud technologies allow us to achieve higher agility and quality while maintaining scale to meet the needs of our users. When I say "Cloud is pushing up the Operational Excellence (OE) Curve," I mean simply that cloud enable our developers to focus more on creating great products for our users and less on the "heavy-lifting" of building complex infrastructure.
Geelan: As we approach the zettabyte (and perhaps even yottabyte) age, can value really be extracted from the voluminous data that is now in existence? How is that possible?
Shugar: Yes, it's possible using technologies such as Hadoop. Hadoop is an open source distributed file system and parallel execution environment. Yahoo! runs Hadoop on tens of thousands of servers, enabling us to process and extract value from massive amounts of data. Apache Hadoop is an open source project of the Apache Software Foundation. Yahoo! is the largest contributor to Hadoop technology as well as its largest user.
Yahoo! recognized that the next-generation Web-scale services demand large distributed systems, and a growing number of other companies and organizations are likely to need similar capabilities. In addition to contributing most of the Hadoop code base, Yahoo! provides open source resources to the academic research community enabling them to access Internet-scale supercomputers for conducting systems and applications research.
Geelan: So exploring data-intensive computing in industry is clearly gaining momentum; what specific initiatives has Yahoo! been taking to encourage expertise in Hadoop and progress toward faster supercomputers? (Just a few, maybe – I know there are many!!)
Shugar: Earlier this year, Yahoo! announced the Yahoo! Distribution of Hadoop, in response to frequent requests from the community. Yahoo! is opening up its investment in Hadoop quality engineering via the Yahoo! Distribution of Hadoop, which has been tested and deployed at Yahoo! on the largest Hadoop clusters in the world and is based entirely on code available from Apache Hadoop. By making the Yahoo! Distribution of Hadoop generally available, Yahoo! is contributing back to the Apache Hadoop community so that the ecosystem can benefit from Yahoo!'s quality and scale investments.
In addition to Hadoop, Yahoo! is heavily investing in other cloud-related technologies such as storage, distributed caching, and serving to solve massive data-intensive computing challenges with serving our consumers.
Yahoo! also has very strong expertise in next generation cloud computing and data management technologies, and is leveraging its leadership in open source software, including Hadoop and Pig, to contribute to global, collaborative efforts around Internet-scale computing.
Over the past few years, we have made significant partnerships and have contributed technology to some of the leading research and development entities worldwide:
- November 2007: Deployment of a supercomputing-class data center, called M45, for cloud computing research (first deployed at Carnegie Mellon University).
- July 2008: Open Cirrus™ testbed formed with Hewlett Packard, Intel, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, the Infocomm Development Authority (IDA) in Singapore, and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Germany
- April 2009: University of California at Berkeley, Cornell University and the University of Massachusetts at Amherst join Carnegie Mellon University to take advantage of Yahoo!'s cloud computing resources
- June 2009: Participation at Open Cirrus Summit, three new sites to join Open Cirrus: the Russian Academy of Sciences, Korean Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI), and Malaysian Institute of Microelectronic Systems (MIMOS).
Geelan: When Yahoo! contributes to open source software such as Pig and Hadoop, what does the company get back?
Shugar: Yahoo! is a long-time supporter and contributor to open source software. Yahoo! is a platinum sponsor of The Apache Software Foundation, and the leading contributor to Hadoop to date, for example. Several members of Yahoo!'s development teams are active, long-term code contributors to Apache Hadoop, and we are committed to advancing the state-of-the-art in distributed computing through the incubation of new Apache projects.
We currently, and will continue to, actively collaborate with the industry, academia and the open source community, including through our Open Cirrus consortium, involvement with Hadoop, Pig and gradually other cloud-related technologies, and support of Apache. We are contributing back to the community so that the ecosystem can benefit from Yahoo!'s quality and scale investments, renowned technologists and innovation in next-generation Web technologies.
Yahoo! benefits from the contributions of others to open source projects and is able to collaborate with and sometimes hire the most talented researchers and engineers in the world, based on their interest in large scale application of open source technologies.
Geelan: And how does helping developers help Yahoo! in bottom line terms?
Shugar: We believe that the developer community is a key component in making Yahoo! a success. The challenges the industry is facing today in terms of large-scale, global cloud solutions are bigger than any one company (big or small) is able to solve on its own. As we contribute to the community, we also learn from the community, and third party developers are a valuable resource helping to speed innovation
Yahoo! is gradually open sourcing its cloud technology for this exact reason. We want to provide developers out there with an open source framework of scalable cloud technology that will enable them to build tools and solutions that in return will help Yahoo! (and the entire industry) to address these complex challenges.
In addition we believe this ecosystem of solutions "powered by" the core cloud technology will directly benefit Yahoo! consumers. This will provide consumers with customized web-applications (targeted at solving specific user needs) faster and better than ever before.
Geelan: What is it technically that makes Hadoop so powerful for large scale data processing? Are there alternatives?
Shugar: Hadoop provides the software infrastructure used across Yahoo! for large scale distributed computing and back-end data analytics, including fighting spam in Yahoo! Mail, content optimization for the Yahoo! homepage, and better ad targeting based on data analysis.
Hadoop provides a framework that distributes data and processing across thousands of computers, which working in parallel allows us to process and analyze enormous amounts of data in a very efficient manner.
We find Hadoop the ideal solution for Y! based on its scalability and flexible programming environment.
Geelan: How about enterprises, are they going to be adopters of Hadoop too?
Shugar: Yahoo! was the first major technology company to adopt Hadoop. Since then, many other companies, large and small, have begun using Hadoop. You can find more information about how others using Hadoop here: http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/PoweredBy.
Geelan: What happens to Yahoo!'s Distribution of Hadoop and growth of the Apache Hadoop project overall in light of the deal with Microsoft?
Shugar: Hadoop is our de facto standard scalable data processing platform at Yahoo!. In addition to Search, Hadoop is used to support display advertizing, content platforms, personalization, machine learning for filtering email spam, research, and all other large scale data analysis and mining.
We remain as committed as ever to developing and using Hadoop, and in contributing our code to the open source community. The Yahoo! Hadoop development team will be busy delivering on short and long term roadmaps.
We look forward to continuing to work with the wider Hadoop community to build an increasingly better Hadoop that will support Yahoo! and the industry's needs in this area. We have by far the largest team of developers and testers working on the project and hundreds of internal customers who use tens of thousands of computers in large Hadoop clusters. We plan to continue to work on improving the Hadoop core to make it faster, more scalable, reliable and secure.
Geelan: What exactly is the Yahoo! Cloud Serving Platform?
Shugar: For the time being, Yahoo!'s is focused on developing a "private cloud", focused on making the Yahoo! experience as extraordinary, effective and productive as possible for consumers and advertisers across the world. We see this as a multi-year effort that will provide significant advantages for Yahoo! now and in the future.
The Yahoo! Cloud Serving Platform provides Yahoo! developers, engineering and operations with a technology to build, test, deploy, and manage application in an elastic cloud infrastructure that can grow and shrink based on changing workloads.
The cloud serving architecture is based on the following key concepts:
• Abstracts concerns of the underlying infrastructure and network communication from developers and operations
• Uses virtualization and commodity hardware
• Employs a declarative programming language for defining services and applications • Automates the deployment process
• Standardizes software stacks and packaging
The Yahoo! cloud serving architecture represents a shift in the programming paradigm and, as such, can require a fundamental shift in application-design thought processes.
Geelan: Are interoperability and openness important in Cloud Computing, as far as Yahoo! is concerned?
Shugar: Ultimately, we believe that advancement in cloud computing technology will be driven by open source initiatives where large communities of engineers can collaborate and develop new code for the new applications and demands posed by the cloud model. Yahoo! is a leader in supporting open and collaborative research and development as a competitive advantage, enabling the open source community to drive forward the pace of innovation. We believe open source and collaborative innovation is the way to address the complex challenges that large-scale cloud solution presents. Yahoo! will continue to participate and contribute to such efforts wherever appropriate.
Geelan: What other plans does Yahoo! have, moving forward, for helping deliver a cloud at the scale of the Internet?
Shugar: We are investing internally in further building out and deploying cloud computing technologies and services across the global Yahoo! operation so as to help our product teams innovate faster and deliver high-quality experiences to our customers across the globe.
Over time, we may consider exposing our cloud services in a more comprehensive manner through the Yahoo! Developer Network, which serves as Yahoo!'s front door for third parties seeking to engage with our developer tools and web services. However, we have nothing specific to share at this time.
Geelan: Lastly, 2009 has so far been a year of obvious challenges, from both a CapEx and an OpEx perspective, for anyone involved with Enterprise IT. So, what's your top tip, as a seasoned software executive, to those other IT execs out there right now – especially CTOs of embattled start-ups who may be looking for some magic bullet to ensure they're alive (and well) as a company in 2010?
Shugar: For startups and small companies, there are public cloud offerings coupled with other commercial cloud vendors that can provide a pay as you go infrastructure minimizing CapEx investments and reducing the risk in deploying new products. For larger or enterprise companies, a hybrid model maintaining existing compute infrastructure while leveraging public cloud offerings for less critical or experimental projects may provide more flexibility at reduced CapEx.
"We have a tagline - "Power in the API Economy." What that means is everything that is built in applications and connected applications is done through APIs," explained Roberto Medrano, Executive Vice President at Akana, in this SYS-CON.tv interview at 16th Cloud Expo, held June 9-11, 2015, at the Javits Center in New York City.

If you were one, it meant you sold stocks to customers all day, likely worked out of a satellite office in Chicago or Dallas or another second-tier finance city, and got paid much, much less than your counterparts in the sexy, high-rolling bond division. And that's if you...New York Magazine 2013-12-24
For a night, it was like the good old days on Wall Street. Bankers and traders in dark suits flocked to a Times Square blues lounge to sip cocktails and catch up after work. What made this gathering different was what was on the marquee outside: "LEH Rocks On." The LEH referred to the old stock ticker of Lehman Bros., the investment bank whose collapse five years ago this week...Pittsburgh Post-Gazette 2013-09-27
Here is a guaranteed way to get paid well if you work on Wall Street. Find a best friend at a competing bank or hedge fund and take opposite sides of the same large bet. In one year's time one of you will have a huge profit and get paid well. The other person will have lost and perhaps be fired. The sum of both your profits will be zero, but the sum of what you get paid will be...Business Insider 2013-03-06

A stock trader or a stock investor is an individual or firm who buys and sells stocks in the financial markets. Many stock traders will trade bonds (and possibly other financial assets) as well. Trading stocks is a risky and complex occupation because the direction of the markets are generally unpredictable and lack transparency, also financial regulators are sometimes unable to adequately detect, prevent and remediate irregularities committed by malicious listed companies or other financial market participants. In addition, the financial markets are usually subjected to speculation.
Stock traders are also known as Stock Speculators, if trading in that capacity. Individuals or firms trading equity (stock) on the stock markets as their principal capacity are often called stock traders. Stock traders usually try to profit from short-term price volatility with trades lasting anywhere from several seconds to several weeks.
The stock trader is usually a professional. Persons can call themselves full or part-time stock traders/investors while maintaining other professions. When a stock trader/investor has clients, and acts as a money manager or adviser with the intention of adding value to their clients finances, he is also called a financial advisor or manager. In this case, the financial manager could be an independent professional or a large bank corporation employee. This may include managers dealing with investment funds, hedge funds, mutual funds, and pension funds, or other professionals in venture capital, equity investment, fund management, and wealth management. These wealthy and powerful organized investors, are sometimes referred to as institutional investors. Several different types of stock trading strategies or approaches exist including day trading, trend following, market making, scalping (trading), momentum trading, trading the news, and arbitrage.

Things are moving quickly for Sam Bradford and the St. Louis Rams as they deal with a change of continents and time zones. Now their bodies just have to catch up in time for the annual NFL game in London on Sunday against the New England Patriots. The Rams (3-4) arrived at Heathrow airport early Tuesday morning, and a few hours later they were on a wet field in Regent's Park in central London doing drills with local school children to show off the American version of football. Not much time for resting up so far for the NFL's latest ambassadors to Europe. ''I can hardly believe we're here in London,'' Bradford said between drills. ''Probably less than 12 hours ago we were back in St. Louis in a team meeting. ... I think everyone was a little bit tired on the bus ride here, but that's why we got here so early in the week so that we could acclimate ourselves to the jet lag and get accustomed to the time difference. So hopefully by Sunday it'll be a non-factor.'' The Rams are host...

Second Half Dooms Falcon Boys
Fri, Feb 4th, 2011
Posted in Sports
Posted in Sports
The Falcons took to the court against Lewiston-Altura for the second time this season, hoping to avenge a 1-point loss in December. The game was every bit of competitive as the first. The initial 18 minutes saw ten lead changes and five ties. Fillmore shot the ball well from the field, hitting 10 of 17 shots (58.8%); but because of 13 turnovers, they just didn't get enough attempts. On the flip side, the visiting Cards only turned the ball over four times. Resultantly, they got plenty of attempts, 32. They made just 12 (37.5%). Things were thus, ever so close at the half (31-30 L-A). In the second, Fillmore struggled early (two made FG's in the first ten minutes). L-A hitched its wagon to the backs of junior Jerrod Fort and senior Jordan Schultz. The duo accounted for 12 consecutive Cardinal points, the last of which extended the visitors lead to nine (47-38) at the 7:51 mark. The Falcons could never fully recover. They got as close as two twice, but sophomore guard Josh Ehlenfeldt scored five points in the final 1:31 to lead Lewiston-Altura to a 57-53 victory. Three Falcons found double-figures. Jordan Ristau worked the post and the offensive glass well. He led the Falcons with 15 points. James Skaalen and Tyler Eickhoff each got 10. L-A was led by Schultz's 13, though six other guys scored six or more. Both teams missed ten free throws.

Chapter 1: Long Road Ahead
"One year..." Mersa sighed and sipped her drink. She looked across the cafe table at her husband. "...One year since what people are now calling: Solomon's folly"
Ozy chuckled, the arctic fox almost always in a good mood. "Dear...you need to stop drinking that stuff...you're going to make yourself more jittery and nervous than usual. As for 'Solomon's folly' It is a celebration...Your birthland was liberated from an evil...by three determined individuals."
She smirked and leaned over to kiss him on the nose. "Sublte, Ozymandias."
He blushed and kissed the skunkette in return. "You aren't still uneasy about being the appointed ambassador from Valentia to Toanth are you?"
She gave a heavy sigh. "No, Ozy...I just wasn't made for dealing with councils and what have you. What's wrong with Larenhane...Making me this go-between."
"He knows that you are the person for this job due to your passion for your homeland, your knowledge of it's inner workings, your rank in the royal guard, and your ability to defend yourself." Ozy sipped his water. "Shall we head to the institute? Don't want you to be late for the Toan Council meeting."
Mersa nodded. She and Ozy headed through Volen's market streets before veering off towards a small secluded plaza in which stood a small building in the center.
The Arcane Insitute's "introductory" building did not look like much...but it was just that, introductory. High above and 'behind' it was a massive floating structure. This structure was a set of cylindrical buildings attached in a circular fashion. Each contained classrooms and departments of magical research.
The two walked up to the door of the building. The door appeared to have no handle or means of pivoting or sliding ajar. Ozy placed his paw upon the door and it slowly vanished. Beyond that seemed to be nothing but a dark void. They walked past the door, it materializing back where it had stood. Mersa held her husband's paw as they stepped into the shadow and pushed through it. It wasn't the shadow that caused Mersa unrest but what was beyond it. The void cleared away to a circular plaza with an abstract fountain in the center.
The skunkette looked out of a row of windows, they were no longer in the small building...or on the ground. They were in one of the cylindrical structures. The sheer height almost made Mersa vomit. She was used to Drell carrying her...but this...She shook her head and stepped from the window. She was still not used to looking out the institute windows even after countless visits.
"Mersa? I thought you weren't going to do that anymore?" Ozy walked up to her, concern present.
"Well...I can't deny beauty, even if the consequences are terrifying."
"Ah! Exactly how I felt when I met you. But you're not just terrifying are you? You're Deadly!" Ozy clapped his paws together. "We need to get going. You shouldn't be late, now..."
"There you are!" came an all too familiar voice. Leena ran up, dressed fully in her librarian garb. "They're waiting for you in the warp room!"
"Leena...I would appreciate it if you didn't shout at me...I have enough stress dealing with the upcoming ordeal of travel...warp crystals my rear...Nauseating body manipulation is what it is."
The scarlet feline rolled her eyes. "Mother...They have assured me they have made it more expedient as to lessen any discomfort you may feel."
"What ever you think is best...not like I can get there in a timely manner otherwise."
They walked past a large set of double doors that had two guards on both sides. Past the doors and down a winding hallway, they found themselves in a circular room with a small elevated pad in the center.
"AHA!" came a cry. A rabbit male with mint green fur in a simple set of robes walked forth. "I told them you would be on time...So...Madam Elcex...tell me...are you prepared? My colleges and I have looked over the tomes and made certain that we could adjust a few things as to cause minimal discomfort by speeding up the travel time."
"For your sake, Reginald, you had better be right. Last time I had to give my assessment while laying on the council table. Grandmaster Trenge was not amused." She stepped onto the pad.
"Good luck dear!" Ozy waved alongside Leena.
Leena smiled.
Mersa breathed deep as her body began to feel lighter. Soon, she felt weightless. Reginald was right. There was no discomfort. Everything did feel more rapid but her body felt at peace. She had been told that her body was being made into magical energy and rapidly transported over a long distance at a high speed.
She felt her body come to a rest and she heard the sounds of chatting in an echoing hall. Her eyes were opened and she smiled. She was in the Ter-Chrys Grand Council hall. All chatter seemed to stop and all eyes were on her. Normally it would be just a glance at the fact that she had arrived, but this was unnervingly long for a glance.
"Hello...everyone...how are..." She shuddered. Why was it so cold? For that matter...her clothes felt...She looked down and instinctively wrapped her tail around as much of her...delicate areas...as she could. She heard the falling of cloth beside her. Her official garb had materialized after her. "Son of..."
"My little girl!"The gray skunk male, Laupe Kelst, had run up. He was the representative for Curavere and, of course, Mersa's father. "So good to see...oh my...I know that you said you might try casual...but this...?"
"Father? What would indicate that I would EVER wish to display myself in just my fur as a representative of the Empire?" She whimpered.
There was a loud humming noise as Ozymandias appeared through a small explosion of magical energy. Very very few who studied magic knew the secret about and could execute a teleportation spell. Only some Arch mages or those at an equivalent skill level could harness it. Ozymandias knew several variants.
"Mersa!" The arctic vulpine smiled. "I am glad to see that...ehehehehe" Ozy blushed and giggled nervously as he saw his wife in all her glory. "Oh my...usually I am only privy to this pretty sight...I think I might get jealous."
"OZYMANDIAS!" She snarled. "...please help me..."
"Oh dear...of course, my sweet...I am sorry...Mr. Kelst if you don't mind stepping back?"
Laupe nodded and did so, watching as Ozy clouded his wife in a blue smoke, only moments later, after it cleared, Mersa was in her robes, dusting herself off.
"Well then...Now I am actually here...Thank you sweetheart." She kissed Ozy on the lips.
"Oh well, for my sweet cuddllet-..Wife...anything at all..."
She smirked. "I love you Ozy...now head home...and try to get that warp problem fixed."
"And I love you too..." the snow fox waved his paw at her words and vanished.
Mersa clasped her paws together. "NOW...let's get started."
Kayze and Izec waited outside the gates of Volen, beside a carriage that was to be pulled by a Vuleesh. Vuleeshes walked on four legs like a Tekre, but were much more slender and sleek. Their bodies were coated in hard layers of white shell with a pinkish flesh that could be seen in the gaps that separated the shell pieces. Their heads, also covered in that shell plating curved to a slight downward crescent, the mouth opening at the downward point. Two eyes could faintly be seen underneath a slit on each side.
"Hey!" The carriage driver shouted down. "Is that sister you talked about going to be here soon?" The naga gave him a look of impatience. her long broad tail that was also her bottom half snapped back and forth.
"Patience...Cossi was it?" Kayze smirked. "You got paid...But thank you for agreeing to take us so far for said price. We are very grateful."
"Well...normally I wouldn't...but usually I have to deal with brutish morons or noble stuffed shirts...It's refreshing to deal with people who know tact and courtesy." She hissed affectionately, sticking her long tongue out as it were.
Izec hopped into the carriage and smiled. "Just because you drive a carriage doesn't mean you deserve to be ignored or verbally abused, my dear. You aren't invisible and you have feelings."
"Now...are you sure I can't convince you to sit by me?" She blushed, moving her long, purple hair from her eyes. "You are just so sweet."
"Sorry" Izec laughed but then gave her a sincere smile in return. "I appreciate the offer but I have my skox over there after all."
"I know I know, I kid...Love is a beautiful thing...I would take no part in damaging it." Cossi sighed then sprang up from her stupor as she heard a low groan from the Vuleesh. She looked down at a silver feline girl in casual clothes who was gently petting it and snapped her fingers to get her attention. "Hey! Excuse me! I know he looks sweet but Xenian is a bit rough around the edges!"
"Sorry!" She backed away and walked over to Kayze, hugging him. "All ready little brother?"
Kayze nuzzled her cheek and nodded. "My bag is in the carriage...along with my supplies."
"Watch it Kayze..." Izec peeked his head over. "Oh hello Neyla."
"I see you finally decided to join us Izec." Neyla smirked as she and Kayze climbed into the carriage after storing their small amount of luggage.
He nodded and smirked. "Well everyone needs a vacation..."
"Cossi!" Kayze shouted. "Were ready when you are!"
"Got it! Get comfy! Next stop isn't for a long while! Hya! Xenian!" The carriage rattled before starting to move.
"Lucky us little brother...we get to spend time together like when we were kids." Neyla leaned forward hugged him tight once more.
Kayze laughed. "Yeah. It's a long ride to the Tolesht border so, we'll have plenty of time to bond."
Izec sat straight up, looking at the two with a look of pure confusion. " Tolesht? You're serious? Were talking AAALLLL the way to the divide between two countries?"
"To be technical...The border is where Cossi is taking us. A vuleesh can't take the type of cold most of Tolesht has to offer. Were going by foot after the border." Kayze leaned on the snow leopard. "I thought you could handle the cold, hon."
"I can...you know that...my kind is built for it...but it isn't the cold that is bothering me. What exactly warrants needing to go that far Neyla?" He wrapped his arm around Kayze.
"The headmaster of the institute, Gunreyln Fior, wants me to pick up something for the library. It is an ancient history tome that the scribes in Vint cannot translate. It is written in ancient dragon writing...there's a better chance of Leena and I as well as castle Volen's scribes deciphering it despite it being so ancient...it's a small advantage."
"...You're not exactl-"
"Dragons...we know..." She cut Izec off, looking a bit irritated but soon relaxed. "We've studied the language in and out...Actually, Headmaster Fior did not even let us apply for the librarian position without having a deep understanding of it."
"I don't think Izec meant to offend, sis. I don't think he understands that Valentians, dragon or not, mostly share the same history from living on the same land for so long..were all taught some of the ancient languages...though most of us, dragons included, treat 'Dragon Language' and Complex 'Dragon Language' as those classes in school we all bear through and try to do so without falling unconscious.
"HAH!" Came a shout from the front. "I certainly took a snooze!" Cossie giggled. " 'Miss Minst! The language of your homeland is nothing to snore at!' Yeah...that did little good."
Everyone laughed, even Neyla. Of the Twin's Neyla was less tightly wound and if there was any sibling that 'got' Kayze the most, it was Neyla.
Kayze looked down at his feet and sighed.
"Hey, not getting homesick now are ya?" Neyla teased. The silver feline looked through a small book.
"No...I had a strange dream the other night...it was a nightmare really." He looked out at the moving landscape.
"Do tell..." Izec held him close.
"In the dream...I was standing at the Galv plaza...and so was mom...She turned to me and said nothing but handed me a short sword. All of the sudden, we were some distance apart and facing each other. Mom held her blade ready and I did the same. She moved faster than I could imagine and before I could even raise my own sword, she had knocked me down and held her blade to my throat and said one thing. 'Pathetic.' As she sliced, I awoke." Kayze held onto his thick bushy tail, just as Mersa would do when stressed.
"Kayze...that was just a dream...mom would never...ever...It isn't conceivable." Neyla placed her paw on her younger brother's.
Izec shook his head. "Oh he knows that...He's just been a bit nervous around her is all..."
"Hey! How did you find out about that? You read my..."
"No...dear...your mom noticed and told me. Did you forget she frequents the Last Pint?"
Neyla cocked her brow. "You...are nervous about mom? Honestly?"
"Yeah...ever since Solomon's Folly...I mean...she helped to take down just...overwhelming odds. You always hear about people who are so great in deed that they go rogue for instance, Solomon...what if..."
"No...Kayze...don't even entertain that thought...it was a dream based of some small insecurities, neither mom nor dad, or Uncle Drell are going rogue or any other such nonsense..."
"Speaking of the other two...why were you only nervous about your mom?" Izec said.
"May I?" Cossi spoke. "Just based on the conversation alone I can guess that he has formed the closest bond of the three with his mother. She becomes a sort of worshiped figure...Hence her role in his dream." The naga chuckled. "I am quite on the right note, I'll bet."
"Eerily so, yes." Kayze sighed.
"You just have to trust that nothing like that is going to happen..." Neyla spoke. "Now relax..."
They traveled for quite a while before finally stopping near an Inn. Cossi had let go of the reins and approached them as they got out.
"Ok...it's about to get dark out...we're staying here for the night. In the morning, we'll keep going." I'll be camping out by Xenian...He gets lonely...and I don't want anyone trying to steal him.
Kayze nodded, "Good plan."
Izec stretched. "Hmm...Quiet. Nice and Quiet." He looked over at Neyla. "You were nodding off for a moment there."
"Yeah...didn't sleep much last night...come on...food then bed." She yawned deeply.
Kayze opened the door and walked inside. "Great...just...peachy"
"What...oh...wonderful." Izec sighed.
Their reactions were to a very disheartening sight. All of what appeared to be the patrons has been huddled to the back and five figures in dark leather armor, daggers drawn, stood apart from them.
"Look at this...More in our little trap...against the wall you three..." A tigress smirked, folding her arms against her chest, Most likely the leader.
"For the love of the maker..." Izec walked past towards the crowd, Neyla followed suit.
"Hey! Didn't you hear her?!" a crocodile stepped forward towards the unmoving Kayze, he was a bit taller than the skox. "Get moving!"
"Don't feel like it." Kayze stayed motionless, but gave him a smile.
"Well, aren't you fearless?" The tigress stepped past her subordinate. "It is commendable...but unless you're looking for death...I'd recommend moving to the back."
"Boss?" A male rabbit spoke up from behind. "He looks like he's planning something...he could have a blade on him."
She grinned. "Thank you...Yes he does look like he knows something we might not. Alright then...the clothes...lose them."
Kayze cocked his brow. "You...are serious...?"
"You want to play a hero, buddy? " She tapped the flat of her blade on his nose. "Then you get a special bit of treatment."
"No...Allow me..." The skox, in the blink of an eye, reached up and grabbed her arm, his paw glowed a bluish hue as he did. The fur on her arm started to stiffen.
"AAAAHH! DAMN YOU! YOU IDI-GAAAH!.." She howled in pain, falling to her knees as the cold burned her. Kayze grabbed the fallen dagger and let her go. He noticed that Neyla had conjured a barrier around the hostages as the bandits' attention was misdirected.
"No way! I'm not dealing with some magic user!" The crocodile sprinted out the door.
"Coward!" The rabbit snarled then ran towards Kayze, swinging rapidly. The skox stepped back at each swing before finding a moment and swung upward with the dagger, cutting the lapine's chest before knocking him hard against the wall, knocking him out.
"GRAHH!" A Bear ran forward, wielding a warhammer. As he did, a Panther male helped the leader up.
"...Hit me if you can." He ran back and around the ursine as he swung. "However..." Kayze pressed a part of his paw to the metal of the dagger, super heating it. "I wouldn't count on it!" He ducked and slid under the bear. As he did, he jabbed the blade through the leather of the boot, spearing his opponents ankle.
There was an audible intake 'ssssss' of breath from not only the hostages but the tigress as well. There was an audible thud as the hammer wielding ursine hit the floor. Kayze got up and kicked the bear in the head, knocking him out like the rabbit.
Just then, a mother wolf and her cub walked into the inn and before they could leave the panther had dashed forward, grabbing the child and holding the blade up to his throat.
"Jonas!...NO! Put him down!" The tigress growled. "No kids! You agreed!"
"Tough, Miran! Were not about to be taken out like this by some upstart hybrid freak!" The panther, Jonas, started to back away. "Apparently you failed to get us any sort of coin...but I'm atleast going to have my freedom!"
The mother screamed. "Put him down you psycho!" The cub was crying.
Kayze grabbed the fallen rabbit's dagger. "Put the child down...Now...no one needs to get hurt..."
"Shut up! You've ruined everything!" He moved towards the door.
The skox sighed. "Don't be stupid!"
"STUPID?! You...Just for that!...This child pays!"
He saw the twitch of the feline's blade paw and reacted, tossing his dagger at the panther's head, it sunk deep. Kayze moved quickly forward and grabbed the cub before the bandit fell. The blood began to pool around his head, reflecting his still open eyes.
Miran looked at Kayze as he gave the child over to his mother, got on her knees, and raised her paws in surrender. "I'm done...I NEVER intended for a child to get involved...Just...I give up, ok?"
Kayze walked over to behind her and bound her paws behind her back and did the same with the other two. The hostages got up and walked over. "Someone go and find the nearest guard you can...Oh and who is the innkeeper?"
A shepherd female walked forward.
"Two rooms please..."
Cossi slithered in and surveyed the area. "It was getting a bit loud and I thought...yeah...I missed something...Guess it is all taken care of then? Ok...none of my business." and with that she left.

Greeter's Schedule
Greeter Sub List
Weather Advisory: Mass Guidelines
April 12, 2015
Dear Friends,
Earlier this week, Bishop Daniel called me to ask me to be
transferred to Fostoria, St. Wendelin as their pastor.
I informed him that my preference would be to stay, stating my
reservations. I do have great respect for him, and a growing love
for him & believe in the priesthood's vow of obedience – so I told
him I would go.
Now I know that this has happen before with Fr. Walsh… you worried
back then, and, depending on your opinion – that change of pastor
worked out!
So the Gospel this weekend shows us that it is normal to have
doubts, just as Thomas doubted.
But I encourage us to pray and trust in the guidance of the Holy
Spirit. It is the Holy Spirit that asked Bishop Daniel the send me
to St. Wendelin, the same Holy Spirit will bring the right pastor to
St. John.
We still have time, the assignment is effective July 1st – we still
have a lot of work to do. We will have time for our farewells.
Easter Blessings!

Of the oral anti–diabetic drugs evaluated to prevent Type 2 diabetes, thiazolidinediones were associated with the greatest risk reduction compared with control and associated with greater risk reduction than biguanides. Alpha–glucosidase inhibitors and biguanides performed similarly, and better than control, while sulphonylureas and glinides provided no significant benefit.
