Chapter 6: Guards
Jevil led the way with Elien walking beside me and Orias brought up the rear. They led me through many twisting corridors past empty rooms and ones filled with people. It slowly dawned on me that this whole place was a veritable maze of rooms and that it must spread underneath the entire neighbourhood. It was the best possible hiding place for the Dreil rebellion. Because of our need for lots of space, the Caslo were under the mistaken impression we couldn't stand being underground. More the fools they, I thought as I walked through complex. We just need to have plenty of room to move around and we obviously have that here.
Finally after a good ten-minute walk Jevil stopped in front of a large door flanked by two men who could only be guards. The old man rapped on the door and called out. "Gazit are you busy?"
Surprisingly, a woman's voice answered him. "Not particularly. Come on in."
Jevil opened the door and ushered me inside. When I entered I was surprised by the lack of ornament. The walls were all plain white and all the room contained was a huge wooden desk, three wooden chairs; two in front of the desk and one behind it.
On the chair behind the desk sat one of the prettiest women I'd ever seen. She had her long black hair braided and coiled into a ball at the back of her head. Her eyes were a shade between amber and hazel, her body like that of a cat slim yet well muscled. Her lack of even a hint of tan told me she was Dreilin and she was dressed in black leathers and regarded me seriously.
"I hope this isn't another recruit you want put into intelligence. I told you after the last two that I don't have time to train newbies anymore. That's why I have an assistant."
Elien smiled at Gazit. "Shastree isn't a new recruit."
"Oh?" The woman replied volumes of meaning in that single syllable.
"This is who we've been looking for." Jevil said.
"Who you've been looking for old man. I don't believe in heroes."
Jevil sputtered and I smiled though my rage was still seething just below the surface. This woman seemed to have more sense then the other three.
Gazit seemed to see everything for she noticed the smile as well as Elien's flush. "Stop blushing Elien. You do what you believe is right to help the rebellion and from the looks of it your 'hero' seems to agree with me that a hero is well nigh useless."
"Oh I don't believe I'm useless just that I am no hero. They decided this not me." I replied.
"And you agreed." Snapped Jevil finally recovering from his rage at being treated so disrespectfully.
"Yes I did. I want revenge pure and simple. The Caslo destroyed my life and now they too shall feel the pain of loss."
Gazit raised an eyebrow. "That's a lot of anger."
"Yes but I will not let it cloud my judgement."
The woman nodded. "You might do after all. So Jevil want to tell me why you came here in the first place?"
"Shastree wished to speak with you." The old man said in an annoyed tone.
"Oh really?"
I nodded. "I served as a light spy in Lord Xalian's household. I wasn't sure how capable the spymaster, or in this case mistress, was going to be so I came to offer my help. It seems you know more then I do so it was a pretty useless gesture."
"You were in Lord Xalian's household?" Gazit asked eyebrows shooting up.
"You know who his spymaster was?"
I nodded again. "I reported to her directly. Lady Histmia was his spymistress."
"Wait a second. His wife? And what do you mean was?"
"She's dead. They're all dead. All the ones in the Dining Hall I know are dead. The others?" I shrugged at this, my voice cold and uncaring, the rage consuming any feelings of guilt. "Some might have escaped with horrible burns, but that is very unlikely."
"Then how did you survive?"
I stretched my lips into a smile that in no way had anything to do with amusement. "I'm the reason it burned."
Gazit seemed completely unfazed by my statement. "How?" was all she said.
"I sang. They killed my friend and I screamed some song. I don't know the tune nor the words all I know was the emotions were filling me up and pouring out through that song."
"That could be a very potent weapon."
"I know. I intend it to be."
"Huh. So I'm assuming your singing caused things to burst into flame?"
I nodded for a third time.
"She wouldn't stop singing. She was in some kind of trance." Elien explained.
"If you trance when you're doing it you might be caught unawares. I'm going to assign two of my best agents as your bodyguards."
Orias made a noise of protest and the spymistress turned to look at him. "I know offence, defence and guarding are all your duties but these two are the best. I'm sure you know them. Ashli and Taira."
The huge warrior actually paled. "Those two? I thought they were on a job."
"They were. They're done now and complaining about lack of anything to do. All the rest of the places they could be of any use already have well-established agents. Now if you want to undertake keeping them busy, by all means do so and assign your own bodyguards."
Orias shook his head. "Those two will be good. Very good. I can't think of anyone better."
Gazit practically purred. "Well then I'll tell them and they'll come find you Shastree. Oh and don't be surprised by their appearance. They're really quite good though they do chatter incessantly."
From her tone I knew we were dismissed. I nodded my thanks, turned around and left the room, the other three scrambling to keep up. I strode down the halls, heading nowhere, just simply needing to move about.
Somehow I found myself in the kitchens. I sat down at the table and watched as the cooks ran this way and that talking and laughing. I felt something stir within my memories but it was swiftly buried beneath the weight of my anger. Jevil and Elien had left before I reached the kitchen and Orias left shortly after assuring himself that I was in no danger.
Not entirely sure why I did this, I began chatting with the cooks, surprised at how natural it felt. At that time any memory that conflicted with the view of all Caslo being evil had been buried in the deep recesses of my mind and I was unable to recall them. There are several theories as to why this happened but the one that I believe is truest is that my power fed by my rage had temporarily taken me over. I know that at that time I wasn't entirely sane. I wasn't exactly crazy I just wasn't entirely myself.
So I sat and talked with them. They treated me with friendly interest. They didn't know who Elien, Jevil and Orias thought I was. They were under the impression that I was a new recruit and told me stories about the different trainers and the celebrities of the rebellion.
I listened avidly. I wanted to know all about the people who risked torture and death to free the rest of our people. When things began to get really busy and the kitchen staff didn't have time to chat I left and loitered in the hall, watching people go by. And that's where I was when I met the two people who would eventually become my closest friends.
"Hey are you Shastree?" a high female voice asked me.
I turned around and saw two young women standing there. One was of the darker type of Dreil, her skin looking like well-creamed coffee. She had her blond streaked black hair tied into a loose bun with a black band around her forehead to prevent any stray wisps of hair from getting into her dark brown eyes. She seemed to have taken to Gazit's style of clothing because she too was dressed in black leathers but hers were a tad looser and looked much more stylish. She had tall black boots on and a slim sword belted to her waist. Taller then me by a few inches, she smiled and jerked her head to indicate her companion.
Her partner was smaller then her and me. There's no other word for it; she was short. She was of the porcelain type of Dreil. Her dark red, blond and brown curls were cut just above her shoulders and hung loose. Her eyes were a lighter brown then her partner's. She was dressed in sleeveless pink silk shirt and black pants much like her companion's. She had a long knife at each side and she was the owner of the voice I'd heard.
"Yes I'm Shastree." I replied.
The two exchanged looks and grinned. "I'm Taira." The short one offered.
"I'm Ashli." The taller one said, her voice deeper then her partner's.
"And we're your bodyguards." They chorused, still smiling hugely.
I couldn't help but smile back at them. I suddenly understood Gazit's warning. They didn't look like they even knew how to use the weapons they carried to defend themselves let alone someone else. They looked more like the girls who were always talking about clothes and their hair.
As I gazed at them I realized that the three of us were each a representative of each type of the Dreil. Ashli one of the black/brown type, Taira of the white type and me of the golden type. This thought amused me.
The thought must have occurred to them as well because Ashli said, "Look we're every type of Dreil!" which caused Taira to laugh.
"So why don't we go get you fixed up? You can't be comfortable in that little dress of yours. Especially since it's the middle of winter." Taira said once she was finished laughing.
"That would be good. I hate this dress. It's always been a sign of slavery to me."
"Well that's a relief. If you'd liked it I was going to have to drum some kind of fashion sense into your head and pray to the gods that your skull is more receptive then old Gazit's. Have you seen what she wears? I wear these to show her how to do black leathers properly, unfortunately it still hasn't stuck." Ashli sighed dramatically.
"Don't worry we'll find something nice for you. I think though we should continue in reds or oranges to show your. . .uniqueness." At my surprised look, Taira winked. "We were briefed on your abilities. Don't worry we don't scare easy."
"Unless you manage to sneak up behind Taira. Then you can scare her." Ashli put in causing her partner to stick her tongue out.
I laughed for the first time in what felt like an eternity. These two were going to be fun.
"Well then let's go!" Ashli said grabbing one of my arms while Taira grabbed the other and they hauled me off.

To Sign Santana: $37,144,142 Per Annum?
Posted By Greg Prince On January 31, 2008 @ 7:49 pm In Photos | Comments Disabled
Faith and Fear reader Steve Rogers wasn't suggesting a yearly compensation package to satisfy the demands of Johan Santana when he visited the Ritz-Carlton in San Juan. He was, of course, showing off the only four (for now) retired numbers in Mets history on his FAFIF t-shirt (click here [1] to get yours), giving it, as Omar Minaya has tentatively bestowed upon us, some sun in January. Reports Steve, "Spotted in the casino, I was asked if I was going to play any of those numbers! Sadly only 14 is available on the roulette wheel, not that I didn't use 36, 24, 5, 17, 8, 16, 18, 7 and others in heavy rotation, though this past weekend was not my weekend in that casino."
Can't wait for 57 to come up a winner at Shea.

Steve Talley, a City-County Councilman, is running for the Democratic nomination for Lawrence Township Trustee. As part of its Campaign Tuesdays coverage of the 2014 Primary, Steve Talley appeared on Afternoons with Amos to talk about his campaign and what he would do for the residents of the northeast side township. Talley talked about the good shape the current Trustee, Democrat Russell Brown has done moving the Township from a deficit to a solid $2 million dollar plus surplus. Talley pledged to continue building on that record of financial responsibility while serving township residents in need of emergency services. Talley feels his past experience on the City-County Council will help him better help Lawrence Township residents if elected. Talley is opposed in the Democratic Primary by Paula Redden. She was unable to appear on Afternoons with Amos' Campaign Tuesdays due to a schedule conflict.

Chillicothe's Emma Patino returns the ball during a No. 1 doubles match with teammate Noah Wright-Piekarski on Tuesday against Hilliard Bradley at the Ohio University-Chillicothe tennis courts.
- Filed Under
They might often be the youngest on the court and also the only two females, but freshman Gabby Lapurga and sophomore Emma Patino stand unintimidated as they compete on the Chillicothe boys tennis team.
First-year boys tennis coach Janet Disbennett said the two definitely would be starters for her girls tennis team in the fall, but both athletes decided to play other sports. Patino played on the girls soccer team in the fall and Lapurga joined the Cavaliers volleyball team. Because they competed in other fall sports, they both were eligible for the boys team.
Disbennett held a round-robin ...

Gads the last post was bad. Anyway. Agree wholeheartedly with review, save for the bit on it 'making nose sense' for Meg to blow up. Personally I think it did... sort of... based off the fact that with them all locked in a house together, someone was bound to start of fight. However, at the same time it did feel forced.
I am a long time Family Guy fan. and it ranked up there with Southpark and Futerama. However, this was an extremely disappointing family guy for me, perhaps a bit worse then other episodes out there as it was so obvious that very little effort went into making the show funny or interesting at all. It was almost insulting with how bad this episode was. It looked like they just slapped the hurricane bit in there on the side for the sake of it when they could have had interaction with characters from American Dad and The Cleveland show, whom were a part of the hurricane theme, which could have added innovation and would have been extremely entertaining. The show focus for this was on Meg. Meg is actually a character I've grown to somewhat like the past season or so because they have started to actually DO something with the character. Meg has always been the beat on character for family guy and it's actually started to turn me against the family as a whole because it is growing to be a little –too- standard and predictable. Its turning from funny to just disgusting with exactly how brutal they are to a growingly likeable character. That they try to force the character to stay in norms just so they can have a beat stick seems not only tacky and lazy, but makes the show as a whole harder to watch. I think the blowup really was based on 'straw that broke the camel's back', where it was just one joke too many. Meg's confrontation with the family was due to happen and they chose this show… though I also agree that they could have done it in a MUCH better setting with a far larger and more blatant disregard on Meg. Its not like there hasn't been others. As for the 'reset to norm', it just did not work. This could have easily been a very good episode. The blowup with Meg and the family was due to happen, and was important character development for that character… then they strip it away with a lame excuse that truly did feel like a 'reset to norm' button with a contrived enlightenment. Brian calling it adult was just… a slapped on excuse. This could have very easily been a truly great episode with her development, and the family's rejection and eventual acceptance. Another way I could have seen this going is after her blowup, and the family's dysfunction, is that after Brian went to talk to her, she could have accepted her blowout and gone upstairs, and then faced the family a second time with maybe being gentler and calling him a good dad because he is trying but he is going to have to accept that he isn't her punching bag. Then maybe hugging him and helping him 'get out of the closet' as it where. They could have used this as a shift in the family which would have opened doors for more development for the other characters as well. Their 'back to norm' shift was contrived, disappointing and a very sad turn as a whole for the episode that just left the viewer (Me as well as others from what I've read) feeling disjointed and disappointed as a whole, bringing the rest of the episode down with it. As for the side focus of Brian's trip. Perhaps one of the better points of this episode was the drug trip. It was good animation which I think others may enjoy even though I found it difficult to watch. I could definitely see some of those images from the trip being stickers for book bags or something though I cant help but feel I've seen the whole trip or something similar from another show or movie before. Due to the huge disappointment from the main plot, this was cast into being the one thing that came close to being watchable. The 'Stewie just said that' went down the route of tacky like the 'Woody Woodpecker' thing they once tried to do with Quagmire, but with Quagmire they had a bit more success, and even that was bad. It jolted one out of the episode and in itself felt like a forced joke slapped in there, though it seems it was poking fun at itself with how people seem to like to quote Stewie constantly. So that bit could be forgiven if the rest of the episode was good… But it wasn't. So it seems the 'bad trip' which wasn't personally enjoyable was the only saving point of the entire episode due to the good animation. This is a pity because there are lots of ways that they could have made the episode work… but it felt like the effort just wasn't done. Perhaps the producers were distracted and just felt like slapping something together. Family guy was good for it's quirky story-lines, random slap-stick thrown in humor and pokes at pop culture and public figures. It has had character development for all characters through the seasons. I have some hope that proceeding episodes –will- get better due to the previews being shown… but if it turns out to be a disappointment with an obviously slapped together episode with little finesse or caring, then I'm going to have to bid Family Guy goodbye and go to shows where writers and producers put more care into their work.

Who's next? What are your thoughts on the trades so far? Share your thoughts here.
Events I'm still waiting for:
- Ubaldo Jimenez has to pass his physical to make the trade to the Indians official.
- Will Rich Harden ultimately get dealt to the Red Sox, or is that deal officially dead?
- Where will Heath Bell end up?
- Will B.J. Upton get dealt?
- Will the Pirates get an outfielder to go along with their acquisition of Derrek Lee?
- Will the Reds trade for anyone?
- Will the Cubs trade anyone, anyone at all, away, or are the likes of Jeff Baker and Reed Johnson just too viable for their 2012 chances?

|I don't mind what the Astros did with Bourn - I think there are some that vastly overrate him. He wasn't ever going to fetch one of the Braves' top pitching prospects, so I don't mind them getting the collection of guys that they did. Schafer is a post-hype guy, maybe with full playing time he can still blossom. Oberholtzer has a chance to be something decent, and Abreu at least misses bats as a reliever.

|MLB Network just reported that Wandy Rodriguez could be going to the Yankees. I'm not sure I like that concept - though at least he's left-handed, which could possibly neutralize that short porch in right field a little bit.

|By: Dave Regan
On: 7/31/2011 9:29:00 AM
|Steal for the Braves. A leadoff man with a .363 OBP and who can play CF (albeit not as well this year per UZR/150) and they give up none of the big four pitching prospects. That said, a guy with Bourn's skillset was never going to net the likes of Teheran, but I figured at least a guy like Randall Delgado would be involved.

|I hear Bedard may still move, with the Cardinals interested. His start yesterday was a disaster, but he's never really been a bad pitcher whenever he's on the mound. As a Brewer fan, I'd prefer he stays away from St. Louis.
|By: Erickson
On: 7/31/2011 9:32:00 AM
|VP - Haven't heard what the Padres have asked for Bell from the Phils - but given that they just traded Singleton and Cosart, what else is in their system that is that appealing? It's not as if they'll get Dom Brown for him, right?
|By: Zenguerrilla
On: 7/31/2011 9:34:00 AM
|Ed Wade is a bum. He is like the dumb guy in your baseball league that you are dying to trade with but fear others trading with him first because he doesn't know what the hell he is doing. I am sure everyone can relate to that! Houston ownership must be a bunch of knuckleheads to hire Wade in the first place. I am glad they are in the Brewers division though. Wade is the Matt Millen of Baseball. War Wade!!! :)
|By: bogfella
On: 7/31/2011 9:43:00 AM
|Really expect the Yankees to jump in big at some point this afternoon. Bedard is a very good risk to take and with both Kuroda and Ubaldo now off the board, BOS or NYA should really be zeroing in on him.

|By: bogfella

|Oh, and Bourn was clearly the "steal" of the deadline deals so far. Why the Nats didn't target him instead of Span is a /boggle (other than the financial implications of course - those rule baseball these days).
|By: Dave Regan
On: 7/31/2011 9:52:00 AM
|VP - Who would the Dbax boot out of the rotation if they acquired another SP - Saunders and Collmenter haven't been that bad...
As for Bell in Philly, they could probably build a deal around Trevor May and Julio Rodriguez pretty easily if they didn't mind further gutting their farm system.
|By: bogfella
On: 7/31/2011 9:56:00 AM
|Dave - Collmenter is really a much better option in the pen and they have already said either he or Owings were headed that way, so both moving out of the rotation would not be a surprise.
|By: Erickson
On: 7/31/2011 9:56:00 AM
|That's a good point about May, Dave. Still might happen. It's funny seeing that the reliever market shrunk so quickly. Haven't heard a thing about Leo Nunez in the last few days.
|By: bogfella

|By: Erickson

|By: bogfella
On: 7/31/2011 10:37:00 AM
|Goldschmidt could probably use more seasoning, but Miranda and Nady aren't the answer and apparently they thought Allen was expendable, so they might as well play this hand and see how Goldschmidt holds up, yes?

|Love hearing talk that Derrek Lee's veteran leadership will be the key for the Bucs. Wasn't Overbay a veteran? Is this like "The Fugitive"?
Chicago detective: "He murdered her for the money."
Tommy Lee Jones' character: "But he's a doctor, isn't he already rich?"
detective: "Yeah, but she's more rich."
|By: Zenguerrilla
On: 7/31/2011 11:03:00 AM
|Comparing Overbay to Lee? Really? Pffffttt At least Lee has been "the man" before and he can play great defense? no? Still, it is stupid talk saying he is the end all by any means. I haven't heard that but.....Don't the Bucs need starting pitching? Not sure their staff can hold up...clock has to strike midnight? Bucos need a decent SP imho....

|Billy Beane is past his prime apparently. He doesn't want to trade some veteran players because he doesn't want to lose 100 games? WTF!!!! I can't believe I just heard that!

|That veteran....singular. You seen the report on mlb network too so I ain't going to argue with you. Beane hasn't done a good job the last few years...if you think so...well. :) If SD gets Profar I might take them off my one of the worst managements list. I expect fail as usual.

|I dont like this trade for Adams, think we gave up a bit much for a mid-relief guy... though its probably better to pick up Adams then Bell who wouldve just went back to SD anyways...

|How does Tex bullpen shake out now? As an Adams owner, can I drop him (holds don't matter)?
|By: Zenguerrilla
On: 7/31/2011 11:59:00 AM
|I think I would of ponied up and bought Bell. Feliz in the playoffs could be their weak link. He seems to lose it at times...it's a big gamble taking the cheap route. Still might work...just sayin? Sounds like Bell is about to go somewhere real soon? Philly have enough?
|By: Brian Rutherford
On: 7/31/2011 12:11:00 PM
|Hmm... Uehara 7th inning, Adams becomes 8th inning @obzen, the only way i see Adams taking over Feliz's job is if Neftali stumbles several times in a week. Honestly, as suspect as he's been, he's got the mental make up. The Minnesota Blown Save was a bit scary the other night, but he had pitched the previous night. Best case scenario I see Adams grabbing 5-7 saves over the stretch as Wash tries to keep Feliz fresh for the playoffs... Ew... Bell to Philly or Anaheim is ugly times for the Rangers either way...
|By: Erickson
On: 7/31/2011 12:21:00 PM
|I think that Feliz is on a very thin leash. It's not just this one blown save against the Twins - K's are way down, BB's are way up for him. Hold on to Adams.
|By: Brian Rutherford
On: 7/31/2011 12:24:00 PM
|call me a homer Jeffe, but with a stronger bullpen in front of him, I think you're gonna see a much more relaxed Feliz. Let's not forget, at 23 years old, he's already experienced so much. He is going to level out.
|By: Kevin Payne
On: 7/31/2011 12:30:00 PM
|Some interesting stuff re: Adams/Feliz. Adams was better at Petco this year than away (not by much) but had a 1.39 away ERA and 2.10 ERA at home last season. Feliz had a 5.73 ERA in June and has a 4.00 ERA in July. Maybe he'll be more relaxed or maybe he'll feel more pressure with two other viable options in the bullpen.
Before last season started what were the odds Heath Bell would be in a Padres uniform on August 1, 2011?
|By: Brian Rutherford
On: 7/31/2011 12:36:00 PM
|Very good aspect on Adams... younger more inexperienced or not...For some reason I dont recall Adams being very dependable in Milwaukee...Honestly? Even Cliff Lee was suspect in that jet stream, gar I wish they would take out those suites so a good pitcher would actually consider signing in Arlington.
re:Bell a Pad tomorrow? Still think its highly unlikely, think you're gonna see Reagins (Angels) pull off a last minute thing to counter act the Rangers movements, just like last season with Lee/Haren

|I remain convinced Erik Bedard will go to a big gun, i.e. BOS, NYY or STL. Someone is playing this one very quietly if I make my guess.
|By: Brian Rutherford
On: 7/31/2011 12:38:00 PM
|I think you're right @bogfella, but I think Bedard is the type of player that can pass through waivers...
|By: Zenguerrilla
On: 7/31/2011 12:41:00 PM
|MLB just showed Hall on the computer, Gammons on the phone, and Rosentheau on his Blackberry...lmao I got a kick how the age group fit with their technology devices lol I will put my money on the Cards to get Bell. Pads need some bats...Cards are a good fit.
|By: Zenguerrilla
On: 7/31/2011 12:46:00 PM
|Harold Reynolds just asked if Bell would clear waivers????? (crickets) Sometimes he is a real dandy....lol
|By: Brian Rutherford
On: 7/31/2011 12:48:00 PM
|Yeah, but you gotta give it to Harold, despite what occurred, he has not let it change his fresh style on air...for good or ill, I'll take Harold over most former ballplayers on air.

|By: Zenguerrilla

|Bedard to the Red Sox.....there is hope for my fantasy team yet! Has Lars Anderson been freed? Harold is ok, he is no Michael Irvan....his Yogi Berra moments are kinda funny in a Liss way. :)

|Worst performance at the deadline: By far the Cubs. How the heck did they not do more?
|By: Kevin Payne
On: 7/31/2011 2:04:00 PM
|Jeff - apparently you haven't seen Jeff Baker (four walks in 150 ABs) play. How don't you unload Carlos Pena? Don't forget the Rays gutted their farm system with the Garza deal.
|By: at325802
On: 7/31/2011 2:12:00 PM
|I would like what the Orioles were able to do by moving Derrek Lee, who obviously had no future in Baltimore and making room for Chris Davis. Davis may simply need a change of scenery, but my problem with this is that they already have a hitter with lots of power and lots of strikeouts - Mark Reynolds. Uehara has been so good over the last year but it was not that long ago that he was a real injury concern. I don't see what the team gained by acquiring Tommy Hunter. It is a desperation move by a team that can't count on any of its young pitching - Matusz, Arrieta, Tillman, Britton. That group is quickly looking more like Hayden Penn, Adam Loewen, Garrett Olson and Daniel Cabrera every day. Aaron Baker looks underwhelming for Lee, given Lee isn't worth much anymore.
|By: Erickson
On: 7/31/2011 2:15:00 PM
|My prediction: Chris Davis does more than Derrek Lee down the stretch.
|By: Brian Rutherford
On: 7/31/2011 2:15:00 PM
|yikees....AT325802.... good point on Reynolds/Davis....even worse, Hunter is gonna get tossed around in camden, im scared for ya...
|By: Kevin Payne
On: 7/31/2011 2:26:00 PM
|at325802- my column which should be up shortly I pointed out the same thing, Reynolds and Davis are a match made in heaven. That being said, I agree with Jeff. Davis is worth a shot, he's only two years removed from a 21-homer season and is 25. It's too early to give up on a guy who was hitting a homer in every eight ABs in the minors. He looked terrible against Garcia's splitter today - that's what will make or break him - hitting breaking pitches. If I'm the Pirates, I'd rather have Pena, I wonder if they inquired about him (Pena has a contract that's $2.75 more than Lee.)
|By: Kevin Payne
On: 7/31/2011 2:27:00 PM
|Oh and that's $2.75 million more, although I'm sure everyone could figure that out ;)
|By: thepearl-673
On: 7/31/2011 2:42:00 PM
|I like Davis more than Lee from this point on, also. But I'm not sure more relaxed = better performance from Feliz. He's one that at least claims to need the pressure to perform well. If he views Adams as competition/pressure, then the performance may get better, regardless. Chances are, his performance will remain near the same. But now, we can blame the blow-ups on either the extra pressure, or being more relaxed. Whichever way we wish to interpret it.
|By: Erickson
On: 7/31/2011 4:11:00 PM
|Zen: You were right - the A's didn't trade any of their collection of OF/CI mediocrities. That is somewhat stunning. It makes me like the acquisition of Brandon Allen that much less, if he is going to Sacramento or will rot on the bench.
|By: Dave Regan
On: 7/31/2011 5:03:00 PM
|This is an outrage. If any Rotowire radio hosts want to hear a guy rant like there's no tomorrow, just have me on the show this week...
Why did Ned Colletti feel the need to insert himself in the Erik Bedard deal? Ok, so the PCL is an extreme hitter's league, but Trayvon Robinson's stats if you please:
.293/.375/.563, 26 HR, speed to burn...solid defense. Oh wait, we have Juan Rivera and the son of a HOFer to handle LF? My bad. I'm fully convinced that Ned knows he's not going to be around under the new ownership, so he's screwing with the future of the francise with this ridiculous deal. The return for Robinson? A catcher who turns 24 this week and can't hit for average or power, a reliever who isn't even in the Rotowire database (hint: not a good sign), and another mediocre reliever who shares Barney Fife's last name. I'm not going to be much fun at the family dinner tonight. Oh, but hey, the Dodgers got the second best player in baseball that has the last name Castellanos in the Furcal deal.
|By: Zenguerrilla
On: 7/31/2011 5:18:00 PM
|Apparently the Moneyball book and movie have gone to Beane's head. He needs to go! Quit or fired he needs a change of venue because he has lost his swagger! If I am the A's owner and I say to my GM how come you didn't trade the rest of our mediocre crappy veterans and you tell me because you don't want to lose 100 games this season? I would fire you on the spot for insane stupidity that is detrimental to the team. Losing games with young players is not a bad thing. You get a higher draft slot and your young players get 2 months of must needed practice vs big leaguer's that they won't get in the minors. Weeks, Green, Allen, Taylor, Carter, Ross....Give them 2 months full time....at worst you can evaluate them better. I like Billy Beane. He is one of the greatest GM's of all time imho...but someone needs to go Rock n Rolla slap scene on him because he is failing miserably! Why did the Dodgers trade Robinson for prospects? WTF was that????
|By: Dave Regan
On: 7/31/2011 5:22:00 PM
|@Zen - The guys the Dodgers got were technically prospects, but prospects in name only.
Think of it from a fantasy perspective. Do you really like being the guy who gives up the best player in a deal without getting at least one sure thing in return? I would have no problem trading Albert Pujols, but I'm not going to do it unless I'm getting a first baseman like Mark Teixeira / Ryan Howard plus more in return. Sickening.
|By: Zenguerrilla
On: 7/31/2011 5:34:00 PM
|Yeah, I don't blame you for being ticked off Dave. I had to reread that deal 5x's because I didn't understand the Dodgers part in it. There must be something more to the story. Robinson get caught with Colleti's wife??? Baffling!
|By: ScoresheetOwner
On: 8/1/2011 1:30:00 PM
|As a Giants fan I think the Dodgers trading Trayvon for 4 bags of balls is an excellent move :)
Though also as a Giants fan I sure wish SF had picked up a catcher who can hit over .180, and almost any SS other than Orlando Cabrera. Doesn't Sabean realize that his miserable .277 OBA is a lot more important than his middling .244 batting average? An OPS under .600, and very suspect SS range, does not seem like great help for a team shooting for post-season success.

| When upgrading to Office 2010, Office 2010 it removed my old version of Outlook Microsoft Office 2010 including all of my e-mails. I was planning Microsoft Office to convert to Windows Mail but didn't get Outlook 2010 a chance. My other office programs are still Microsoft outlook 2010 in tact. I feel there should have been at Microsoft Office 2007 least a warning message or option before Office 2010 professional removing Outlook. I upgraded from Adobe Acrobat version 2002 so there are a lot of changes Microsoft outlook to get used to but so far very pleased with all the extra the Office 2010 home and student 2010 version has to offer. Easy to use once you learn the interface. I have to search to find some of the tools I was accustomed to using.

I found some excellent articles for anyone who is looking to improve their! can be a really big issue for a lot of people, and I think more and more people are starting to understand the power of the internet and internet advertising. That's why can be such an important factor. These guys make some excellent points about how important is. Most people today look at least for ten minutes online today before doing business with someone. It can be almost compulsive if you ask me. But anyways for anyone who is looking for tips or who are looking to improve their you may want to contact these guys.

Big Mosey is throwing our CD Release show at the Seaside Tavern (10p) tonight for our new EP, Homeward At Daybreak, and we just got an interview in the Stamford Advocate:
"Jacob and crew meet those travails – from the pressures of day-to-day existence to the fragmented nature of modern society – head on. Flanked by Jacob's gravelly baritone, the group churns out gritty, feverish alt-rock stabs that summon backwoods Southern blues and dense slogging funk.

Top 10 Letters
Giants, toasters, Bobos, crooked senators, and more.
11:00 PM, Oct 27, 2002
Everyone around here has been to Paris and embarrassed by their choice of footwear there at least once. So the men may do Dansko clogs or the little elf slip-on sneakers, but no Birkenstocks. And make no mistake--while their wives are tooling around Mill Valley in the ubiquitous Acura SUV, self-consciously shaping their lives and abodes to resemble a Provencal fantasy, their men are working hard and scared to keep them happy. (The wives, now moms, are all former attorneys and advertising executives who are now home running the local public schools and ferociously competing with one another on everything from their children's school performance to the wholesomeness of his birthday cake to the size of their jeans.) The $2 million dollar house does not make them rich. It makes them scared to lose it. You see, Marinites are hardly laid back. Truth is, everyone here pretends to be laid back, but this is as hard-driving and competitive a place as you can imagine. It's like Manhattan without the minorities and the skyscrapers.
The fierce battle for beauty and "quality of life" that fuels Marinites is responsible for the budding conservatism here. People may pretend to be appalled by Bush's bad vocabulary and his drive to war, but secretly, they're glad he's in place.
The dot-con years left a mess here. Bobo unemployment is a growing problem. Economic worries are colliding with kid worries which are colliding with war worries. Scratch below the surface of the tanned back of any middle-aged mountain biker, and you will find a conservative waiting to happen.
Ask him if he really believes abortion is just when he fondly recalls the sonograms of his now pubescent children. Ask him if he really believes premarital sex is harmless as he gazes with fatherly pride and terror at his daughter, the teenage vixen. Ask him just how keen he is on having his taxes pay for sweeping social programs that don't work. Ask him this as he's stepping over the homeless people littering the streets of San Francisco on his way to a job that will likely not exist in six months, unless capital spending on technology improves significantly.
Republican virtue starts to make sense. (By the way, I'll be at the World Series tonight rooting for those Giants.)
--Alicia Saribalis
Jonathan V. Last notes that the Democrats aren't fielding a candidate in the Virginia Senate race (Stop the Insanity). Why is it important to have a choice in New Jersey, but offer NO candidate in Virginia?
--Tim Gannon
Actually, the failure of Schumer and Clinton to endorse the Help America Vote Act can be put in two words--Rudy Giuliani (Katherine Mangu-Ward, Holding Out on Reform). They are both scared of his post-September 11 popularity and know that they will need ever vote they can get (legally or otherwise) if they are to have any chance to beat him should he choose to run for either or their Senate seats.
--D.J. Whitlock
New York, like Maryland and California, needs to look very carefully at the ethics of the two people it has sent to the U.S. Senate. Chuck Schumer and Hillary Clinton have spent the past two years forging heretofore untravelled paths of disgrace, by shamelessly endorsing propositions that had previously been considered intolerable. Instead, they credit themselves with being on the cutting edge of 21st century politics.
The senior Senator from New York suggests that judicial appointments for the Federal bench be screened based on their political reliability. And as Congress attempts to update the bankruptcy code, Schumer adds language to the bill that prohibits the discharge in bankruptcy of civil judgements brought against individuals for their non-violent protests of abortion clinics.
Then there's Hillary. As Senator, she defended her own husband's improper pardons of political friends and contributors by questioning the motives of those who inquired. And who could forget her performance after September 11? She rolled her eyes in a joint session of Congress when George W. Bush rallied America after its heart was broken.
And now, both senators, in an effort to appease leftist contributors and oppose the removal of their party's most effective tool for winning close elections, have put themselves on record as the only two members of the United States Senate who disagree with sensible election reform.

Carl J. Reuter
Carl J. Reuter, 93, of Bloomington, passed away on Saturday, July 12, at the Lancaster Care Center, Lancaster.
He was born on Oct. 23, 1920, the son of William and Josephine (Stelpflug) Reuter. Carl grew up on a farm near Tennyson in Paris Township. He attended St. Andrew Catholic School. Later, he and his parents moved to Bloomington. On June 30, 1956, Carl was united in marriage to Helene Baker at Cherry Mound in rural Harpers Ferry. Carl worked as a farmer most of his life in Bloomington Township, but also worked at Effigy Mounds in 1957. When he and Helene retired from farming, they moved into the Village of Bloomington and built a house across from St. Mary's Catholic Church and School. In his younger years, Carl enjoyed hunting, fishing, and trapping. In his later years, he enjoyed watching baseball and although he wouldn't admit it, he was a Cubs fan. Carl also loved the animals he raised, especially the cows.
Survivors include his loving wife, Helene Reuter, Bloomington; their children JoEllen Reuter, Dubuque, Iowa, Ed (Lucy) Reuter, Lake Stevens, Wash., and their children, Tom and Lynn, Jane Reuter of Littleton, Colo., and her son, Robby, Nancy (Jon) Brost, Nekoosa, and their children, Aaron and Lexi; sisters-in-law, Darlene Reuter, Bagley, Marie Dorsch, Chicago, Ill.; many nieces and nephews.
In addition to his parents, Carl was preceded in death by his brothers, Cletus and Reaferd Reuter and his sister, Catherine Zenz.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Thursday, July 17, at 11 a.m. at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Bloomington with Father John Meinholz officiating. Burial will be in St. Mary's Cemetery, Bloomington. Family and friends may call on Wednesday, July 16, from 4 until 7 p.m. at Martin Funeral Home & Cremation Services in Bloomington where a 3:45 p.m. Scripture service will be held. Friends may also call on Thursday from 10 a.m. until time of services at the church. Martin Funeral Home & Cremation Services in Bloomington is assisting the family.

Days Five, Six, and Seven: Custer State Park to Badlands National Park to Rapid City (195 Miles)
Roughly 60 miles east of Rapid City on I-90, you reach the town of Wall. Back in the Depression, Wall Drug (605.279.2175) gave away free ice water to thirsty travelers. Now the megastore is a souvenir emporium, good for all those tacky gifts you want to bring back the neighbors. You can opt for breakfast, lunch, or dinner at the 520-seat restaurant. Roast beef with all the fixins will set you back about eight bucks.
Head south on Wall on Route 240 to reach the Pinnacles Entrance to Badlands (605.433.5361; www.nps.gov/badl). Soon after entering, you'll be mesmerized by this phantasmagoric blend of topography--multi-hued rock steeples, massive canyons, and jagged peaks. The Loop Road (Route 240) is a 41-mile jaunt (35 miles of which is designated a National Scenic Byway) that leads to many of Badlands' awe-inspiring overlooks like Conata Basin and Prairie Wind.
Book one of the 100 sites at the Park's Cedar Pass Campgrounds (605.433.5361 for group reservations). No open fires are allowed in Badlands, so a cooking stove is essential. The next morning head out on one of the eight hiking trails. The 10-mile round-trip Castle Trail opens up onto an otherworldly terrain straight out of a Star Trek episode. Expect to spot more bison, prairie dogs, maybe even the black-footed ferret, the most endangered mammal in North America.
Just south of the Badlands is the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation (www.lakotamall.com/oglalasiouxtribe), home to the large Lakota population. You can visit the site of Wounded Knee or better yet, head 18 miles south to the Red Cloud Indian School (605.867.5491; www.redcloudschool.org) in the town of Pine Ridge. They feature a wonderful collection of Native American arts in the Heritage Center. An adjacent gift shop, selling handmade Lakota items, plays an important part in the local economy. After loading up on a bevy of souvenirs, it's back to the asphalt-lined route to Rapid City.

Court restores local zoning rules for shale gas drillers in Pennsylvania
An appeals court on Thursday curbed the state's power over local zoning rules that target the growing gas-drilling industry but upheld parts of Pennsylvania's revamped oil and gas laws involving notification of spills, eminent domain and medical records.
Commonwealth Court restored "the authority that local zoning boards and the Court of Common Pleas holds in reviewing zoning challenges," said Bucks County attorney Jordan Yeager, who helped represent seven communities that sued the state. "Those are rules that every other industry and property owner must play by."
The ruling clears up the final four disputed sections of Act 13 of 2012, which lawmakers passed in an attempt to standardize rules for drillers and the state Supreme Court trimmed back as overreaching.
"It gives us some definition of what we can do and what we can't," said Andrew Schrader, chairman of the supervisors in Cecil, one of the townships that sued. "We'll be able to go ahead and write our ordinances."
A spokesman for Gov. Tom Corbett's Office of General Counsel said the ruling "speaks volumes to the constitutionality of state regulation of oil and gas activities."
"We thank the court for their deliberation of the issues presented, and we look forward to continuing to make Pennsylvania the nation's leader in promoting responsible, protective development of natural gas," spokesman Joshua Maus said in an email.
An industry lobbying group said the decision does not change its relationship with communities, some of which challenged the law.
"As we did prior to enactment of Act 13 and have done during this period of review, Pennsylvania's natural gas industry will continue to work collaboratively with the communities in which we operate to ensure shale development moves forward and we continue to realize the benefits at the local level and statewide," the North Fayette-based Marcellus Shale Coalition said in a statement.
Act 13 included uniform land-use and environmental rules and imposed impact fees that the state collects from well owners and distributes to local governments. It was Pennsylvania's first attempt at managing the rush to drill in the gas-rich shale play that produces 18 percent of the country's natural gas.
The Supreme Court in December declared parts of the law unconstitutional and told Commonwealth Court to decide remaining issues. Most notably, the high court struck down rules limiting local ability to regulate drilling.
The parties — South Fayette, Peters, Cecil and Mt. Pleasant, and several state agencies — agreed not to debate the impact fees or most of the environmental rules.
Commonwealth Court's five judges split on the last zoning issue. The majority rejected an argument that the state Public Utility Commission could withhold Act 13 money from municipalities that enacted rules impeding drilling.
"Local zoning matters will now be determined by the procedures set forth under the (Municipalities Planning Code) and challenges to local ordinances that carry out a municipality's constitutional environmental obligations," President Judge Dan Pellegrini wrote.
The PUC initially withheld impact fee money from communities that passed rules limiting drilling but eventually released it. Well owners have paid the state more than $600 million in impact fees in three years.
"Clearly, there was a hope by the industry that they could utilize the PUC as a hammer to bully municipalities into allowing drilling to happen everywhere," Yeager said.
Maus said the state was "evaluating the impact" of this part of the ruling.
The judges ruled against the challengers on three issues.
They rejected an argument that Act 13 improperly gives drillers the right to take property by eminent domain. The ruling said state law allows companies to take land for storage or transportation of gas if they're licensed by the PUC as public utilities.
Downtown attorney Jonathan Kamin, who represents the townships, said some companies involved in drilling have that designation.
"We remain concerned that the state has given eminent domain rights to a private company for private business," he said.
Sunoco Logistics L.P. applied for public utility status to overcome challenges to the gas-liquids pipeline it wants to build from Western Pennsylvania to Philadelphia. The PUC is reviewing the application.
The judges agreed with the state that the Department of Environmental Protection needs to notify only public water systems about spills, although it could try to notify people with private wells.
"We appreciate the court's acknowledgement that, even though it is not required to do so, the Department of Environmental Protection takes action upon notification of a spill to protect and aid private well owners in getting alternative water supplies," Maus said.
The law's rules that keep secret some information about what chemicals drillers use do not harm doctors' ability to share information on medical treatment, the court ruled.
In response to Act 13 and other issues, DEP proposed regulations governing surface activities around drilling. Those remain under review, and DEP is adjusting them based on language in a fiscal code that lawmakers passed this month, which split the rules for shallow and deeper wells. DEP expects the rules to become final next year.
"For us, this is a reminder that (the DEP) really needs to get the regulations out from Act 13," said Davitt Woodwell, president and CEO of the Pennsylvania Environmental Council. "We need those regulations on the street."

TribLive commenting policy
You are solely responsible for your comments and by using TribLive.com you agree to our Terms of Service.
We moderate comments. Our goal is to provide substantive commentary for a general readership. By screening submissions, we provide a space where readers can share intelligent and informed commentary that enhances the quality of our news and information.
While most comments will be posted if they are on-topic and not abusive, moderating decisions are subjective. We will make them as carefully and consistently as we can. Because of the volume of reader comments, we cannot review individual moderation decisions with readers.
We value thoughtful comments representing a range of views that make their point quickly and politely. We make an effort to protect discussions from repeated comments either by the same reader or different readers.
We follow the same standards for taste as the daily newspaper. A few things we won't tolerate: personal attacks, obscenity, vulgarity, profanity (including expletives and letters followed by dashes), commercial promotion, impersonations, incoherence, proselytizing and SHOUTING. Don't include URLs to Web sites.
We do not edit comments. They are either approved or deleted. We reserve the right to edit a comment that is quoted or excerpted in an article. In this case, we may fix spelling and punctuation.
We welcome strong opinions and criticism of our work, but we don't want comments to become bogged down with discussions of our policies and we will moderate accordingly.
We appreciate it when readers and people quoted in articles or blog posts point out errors of fact or emphasis and will investigate all assertions. But these suggestions should be sent via e-mail. To avoid distracting other readers, we won't publish comments that suggest a correction. Instead, corrections will be made in a blog post or in an article.
