LCA with distal outcome?
Mplus Discussion
Latent Variable Mixture Modeling
Jennifer Moren Cross
posted on Friday, May 25, 2007 - 8:43 pm
1) Is it possible to estimate LCA with a distal outcome in a single step in Mplus(along the same lines one does with LCGA or GGMM)? (Are there examples of this anywhere?)
2) Would I obtain the same results if I used a two-step procedure whereby, first, I estimated conditional latent classes with covariates (while also identifying my distal outcomes using the "auxillary" command), export this to another statistical package like Stata, and second, run regular regressions of my distal outcomes on class probabilities in Stata?
Much thanks for any information!
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Saturday, May 26, 2007 - 6:31 am
1. Yes. It would be like Example 8.6 but with an LCA model instead of a GMM model.
2. It is always preferable to do the entire model estimation in one step. Doing it in two steps would introduce estimation errors and the standard errors will be incorrect.

I am running a LCA with several covariates and distal outcomes. I would like to control for the distal outcome scores in the fall so I have specified "outcome on fallscore" in my overall model. Because of this, I get intercepts for my distal outcomes instead of means. I have two questions:
1) What is the best way to request the class means for the outcomes? Tech7?
2) What is the best way to compare my 3 classes on the distal outcomes? I have used MODEL TEST but isn't that comparing the class intercepts and not the means in my particular model?
Thank you in advance for your time!
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Friday, March 04, 2011 - 11:06 am
1. TECH7 is sample statistics. TECH4 and the RESIDUAL option of the OUTPUT command give model estimated values.
2. You would need to define the means in terms of the model parameters using new parameters in MODEL CONSTRAINT where you can also test the differences.

I'm aiming to use LCA to predict both categorical and continuous distal outcomes. From what I see in Example 8.6, it seems like the current recommendation is to basically do the equivalent of including it as a covariate (c on x). Is that the correct interpretation?
If so, when I do that, the size of my 3 class shift more than I'd expect or like for them to (even when I've specified the stat values for each of the latent class indicators. My understanding is that this indicates that the model may be unstable or not replicable, and that the number of classes may not be correct. The 2- and 3-class models have very similar fit indices:
2-class (79.14%, 20.86%):
LMR-adj LRT p = .0007
BLRT p = .0000
entropy = .789
3-class (47.31%, 31.33%, 21.36%):
LMR-adj LRT p = .0378
BLRT p = .0000
entropy = .720
The 3-class model is a better fit theoretically/substantively. What, then, is the best way to estimate the association between the latent classes and the distal outcome? Can I trust the results I get when the classes are shifting?
Thanks so much in advance for your input!

In ex 8.6 the distal outcome is u, not x.
Keri Jowers
posted on Wednesday, September 21, 2011 - 10:43 am
Apologies -- I mistyped. So, in ex 8.6, the distal is mentioned only in the "categorical = u" statement. How would one estimate the association between the latent classes and a continuous distal?
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Wednesday, September 21, 2011 - 11:14 am
The key is that u is on the NAMES list so it is an analysis variable. In the case where all variables on the NAMES list are not analysis variables, u would have been on the USEVARIABLES list. The same holds for a continuous distal outcome. It needs only to be on NAMES or NAMES and USEVARIABLES.
Keri Jowers
posted on Thursday, September 22, 2011 - 11:49 am
Right, I've got the NAMES and USEVARIABLES piece. Perhaps a better way of posing my question is this: When the continuous distal is in the USEVARIABLES list and I then set the start values for my LC indicators (not the u) using my previously obtained thresholds to try to preserve my classes, the output provides me with class-specific means for the distal, and these are based on the re-estimated model I mentioned above. Are these means and their associated p-values intended to be interpreted as the association between the latent class and the distal? This seems counterintuitive to me.
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Thursday, September 22, 2011 - 1:16 pm
The relationship between the categorical latent variable and the distal is found in the varying of the means of the distal across classes. The question you want to ask is if these means are the same across classes or different. You can use MODEL TEST to answer this question.
Keri Jowers
posted on Friday, September 23, 2011 - 8:07 am
Thanks so much! One final question -- how concerned should I be that the class sizes change drastically when compared to when the distal is not included in the USEVAR statement? Not only are the class proportions very different (below), but the sample proportions within each class are very different:
without distal in USEVAR:
with distal in USEVAR:
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Friday, September 23, 2011 - 9:45 am
When you add a distal outcome, it is the same as adding another latent class indicator. The classes will be affected by this. This means that the distal is being taken into account which it should be.
Debbie Hahs-Vaughn
posted on Monday, February 27, 2012 - 7:58 pm
We have estimated a six-class solution in LPA and are interested in using the LPA class membership (which was estimated at Time 1) to predict a distal outcome (at Time 2) while controlling for various attributes at Time 1. I recently attended a conference and heard a presentation that discussed "distal-as-consequence" where class membership is treated as missing data in the regression of the distal outcome on class membership and multiple imputations are used based on the posterior class probabilities (obtained from the estimated growth mixture model without the distal outcome included) to estimate the association between class membership and distal outcomes.
I have searched the Mplus archive and reviewed papers posted as well as the manual for more information/examples on this. Thus far, I have not found any. Any suggestions? Thank you.

C. Gantz
posted on Monday, February 02, 2015 - 7:48 pm
I have read with great interest the many posts on using LCA to predict distal outcomes. I understand this is a complex topic.
In my analysis, I would like to use a 3 class solution at T1 to predict a variety of T2 continuous outcomes. I additionally would like to control for T2 outcomes at T1. In the first step of this analysis, a three class solution was best based on AIC, BIC and Lo-Mendell, with entropy of .89. These three classes also make a lot of sense theoretically.
My question is as follows:
I understand that often the one step approach is preferable here. However, I read the Clark & Muthen (2009) piece, and it seems that when entropy is high, it is acceptable to use the most likely class membership. When I included the outcome in the class estimation, this significantly changed the formation of the latent classes in a way that no longer made theoretical sense. Am I right to interpret the Clark & Muthen (2009) paper that in this case, given the high entropy from my 3 class results, I could be justified to assign most likely class membership and use these in follow up analyses?

Is there any way to examine effect size when comparing the mean differences of the distal outcomes among classes?
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Tuesday, April 28, 2015 - 10:23 am
You can divide the mean difference by the standard deviation of the distal.
Yueqi Yan
posted on Wednesday, April 29, 2015 - 12:10 pm
Thanks Bengt! So how I can receive the standard deviation of the distal. My distal is latent variable. I used fixed factor loading method and could not directly receive the variance information for the latent distal from the output. There is only standard error coming up with mean difference and residual variance of the distal outcome for each latent class. Should I run a separate model without latent class to see the variance of the distal outcome? Thanks again!
Bengt O. Muthen

You get the factor variance of a distal in TECH4.

I am trying to use a 3 class latent profile model to predict a continuous distal variable. I was only able to proceed to LPA with an auxiliary variable included in the assessment, following the four articles I have read:
1. Clark & Muth�n (2009). Relating Latent Class Analysis Results to Variables not Included in the Analysis
2. Asparouhov & Muth�n (2014). Auxiliary variables in mixture modeling
3.Lanza et al. (2013). Latent Class Analysis With Distal Outcomes
4. Web note 14
I decided to go for the Lanza approach, following the simulation results from article 2, in which it states that Lanza approach seems to perform well particularly in the situation of my proposed model. Here is the syntax for the LPA using Lanza:
names are SRM WRM CI TT CTEU PRODIS;
classes = c(3);
auxiliary = PRODIS(dcon);
type = mixture;
savedata: file is LCAinput1.dat;
save = cprob;
I know that I need to use the data saved from the above to run the next analysis, using 3 class to predict the continuous distal variable. I tried to imitate ex8.6, but I do not understand how I can use it in the context of my model. Your help will be very much appreciated.
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Saturday, October 24, 2015 - 5:04 pm
You can choose between 3 ways to handle the distal: 1-step, automatic 3-step, and manual 3-step. Your input is for automatic 3-step. This does not need a further step, but you get all the information you need in the output - the distal's means and tests of their differences across classes.
In the 1-step approach the distal is part of the model, that is, on the USEV list. This gives you the means of the distal in different classes.
You should add a 5th paper to your reading list, which shows the methods we recommend in 2 tables at the end:
Asparouhov, T. & Muth�n, B. (2014). Auxiliary variables in mixture modeling: Using the BCH method in Mplus to estimate a distal outcome model and an arbitrary second model. Web note 21.
For a continuous distal we now recommend "BCH".
Sabrina Thornton
posted on Sunday, October 25, 2015 - 5:13 am
Hi Bengt,
This is massively helpful. I have read the web note 21, and attempted to run the analysis using automatic BCH approach. I presume that this is a new feature developed after version 7.2 since I got an error message saying:
*** ERROR in VARIABLE command
Unrecognized setting in the AUXILIARY option: BCH
for variable(s): PRODIS
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Sunday, October 25, 2015 - 6:41 am
BCH came out in Version 7.3.
Michelle Mack
posted on Wednesday, January 27, 2016 - 5:31 pm
I created profiles of families based on their responses to items concerning their relationship. I am now interested in using these profiles to predict distal outcomes for the siblings in those families (data is nested).
Does the manual BCH method work with multi level modeling with continuous outcomes? I was told that perhaps I need to use BCH weights that are generated in the latent class run but I'm not really sure what this means. If this is correct can you please clarify.
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Friday, January 29, 2016 - 6:23 pm
BCH is suitable for distal outcomes, but is not available for multilevel situations.
But having siblings in families does not necessitate multilevel modeling - instead you can use a "wide" approach. See our Topic 3 or 4 handouts.

Dear Drs Muth�n,
I performed a LPA having 2 latent variables (3 profiles each), and I would like to predict a distal continuous outcome using the BCH approach (manual, I�d like to have other covariables in my final model).
- It is possible? I tried, and by imput is correctly read, calculation are done, but the output is empty (there is nothing after the "warnings" section). Also, BCH weights are not computed (although the file has been created, it's empty).
- If BCH is not available in my case, do you suggest an alternative approach (other than categorize subjects using latent class membership)?
Thanks for your help

I hiked the first mile or so of the Grey Rock Trail with my family about one week ago. I was really bummer to see the amount of dog poop on and next to the trail. We have three little girls and it got so bad in spots that we just carried them so they wouldn't step in any. In the first 100 yards there must have been more than 50 different piles on and next to the trail. I am not sure what can be done about it, but just thought I would give someone a heads up.
From a recent Greyrock trail report: "There was a fire ring at about 2.75 miles from the trailhead that still had hot embers in it and we were unable to remove it because of safety."
Seriously!? After what we have been through the past two years, we haven't learned this lesson yet? Sigh...
From a recent Greyrock trail report: "Saw 40 people and NO dogs!"
That's got to be the all-time record. On my last Greyrock patrol 18 of 21 dogs were on a leash, which I also thought was some kind of record. I can only imagine the abundant poison ivy is having an effect on dog owners. :-)
Beautiful weather with temperatures in the mid-40s today meant a lot of people (~40) were out on this trail. Just a word of warning: DON'T try to use the Greyrock parking lot. It is a sheet of ice. A few people made it up the slope, but not many. I got about half way up before I started sliding backwards towards the ditch. Not worth it. Park along the road. Trail today was a bit icy in spots, but mostly in great shape. For pictures, see the Grayrock Trail Report (http://rawahranger.com/2015/01/grayrock-trail) on the RawahRanger blog.
As of today at 5:00 PM the entire Greyrock Trail has been cleared on downed trees. There will be more! Please let us know where you find them and we will send someone out to clear them.
The Greyrock Meadow area is a great place to camp if you are looking for a close to town backpacking overnight. Note that camping in the flat area near the summit is illegal. http://rawahranger.com/2015/02/greyrock-microadventure/

Are snowshoes necessary this time of year or are these trails mostly free of snow?

Weekends are tough
One of the hardest parts of the 30 Days of Flash challenge are the weekends. Things do not fail to prevent me from getting time to write. But I won't let that stop me from completing 30 pieces of flash fiction over the coming weeks. My goal with this challenge is really to get used to writing every day, provided life doesn't get in the way.
Life will always get in the way.
And I think that's OK. Many times we writers can berate ourselves if we miss a single day. I don't think that's a healthy attitude to be honest. Realize that sometimes there are circumstances beyond your control and then move on. You can very easily fall into a spiral and stop writing because of it.
So let's move on and get back to these stories, shall we?
Top Ten Favorite Screen Characters
I normally don't do these kinds of things. But when Christa Wojciechowski tagged me to talk about my top ten favorite on screen characters, I couldn't resist. So let's do this!
1. Hoban Washburne — Firfly/Serenity
Alan Tudyk brought to life one of Joss Whedon's best written characters. Who couldn't fall in love with one of the best pilots in the verse?
2. Nathan Young — Misfits
I loved to hate him, but grew to like him as a character on TV. Had he been anyone I'd known in real life, I would have punched him in the face. Robert Sheehan did an amazing job with this character and I was sad when he left the show. Viva La Barry!
3. Maximus Decimus Meridius — Gladiator
This was the first movie that really made me fall in love with film. And it was this character has stuck with me for years. Determined but still noble. He could have controlled Rome, but just wanted to be left alone to tend his farm. Amazing stuff.
4. Madmartigan — Willow
Brash and cocky but with the skill to back it up. Just like Willow said, "He is great!" One of Val Kilmer's best roles in my opinion.
5. Beatrix Kiddo — Kill Bill
Good lord I can't get enough of her awesomeness. Uma Thurman brought real depth to this character, that on the surface looks shallow. Seeing her breakdown in the aftermath of her revenge killing of Bill solidified her as one of my top characters of all time.
6. Mystery Men
Sure, I'm cheating here. But how could I choose between any of these characters? They are all incredible and need to be taken as a team to truly appreciate them as individuals. Though if I had to choose, I'd go with Mr. Furious.
7. Antonio Salieri — Amadeus
OK, I think maybe a part of me is just choosing great performances. But at the same time Salieri is so complex of a character you can't help but be drawn in to him. His battle with God over his love/hatred for Mozart tears at you. I can't get enough of it.
8. Bruce Wayne/Batman (1989) — Batman
This is my Batman. Keaton did what few others have been able to pull off when donning the cowl. He showed just has crazy Bruce Wayne is. That behind the mask was a man just as twisted and messed up as the people he fought against. I'd love to see someone capture that again.
She embodies the quirkiness and oddity that I love in myself and my wife. Who couldn't fall in love with this character?
10. Captain America — MCU
People that know me well are probably surprised to see him this low on the list. But I'm a little hipstery when it comes to this character, as I loved him before he was cool (Read the Ultimates series which a lot of the movies are based on). What draws me to him is his unwavering resolve. He's a true patriot, fighting for the rights of the people, not fighting for the rights of the government. You'll see what I mean when Civil War hits theaters in the next year or so.
These are my top ten favorite screen characters. I supposed to tag ten more people but I don't really have the kind of people to tag for something like this. But, if you read this and want to participate go right ahead! Link your page to my comments below and I'll come check it out.
Mirror Memories
"Next," I called out.
The line shuffled along, each person with a package under their arm and their face buried in a smartphone. You'd think I'd be used to it by now. But I missed interacting with the customer. Everyone had such interesting stories about where they were sending their package. These days the most I could muster would be a grunt and a swipe of their card.
"Good afternoon, sir." I gave the man a broad smile, hoping this one would be different.
"Yeah." He clacked away at a text message.
"What can I do for you today?" I plastered on my best smile that started quickly began to slip into a sneer.
"Yeah… just… uh… need to send this here." He plopped the package in front of me and tapped the shipping label without looking up from his phone.
I resisted the urge to slap the black brick from his hand and send him home crying. Instead, I gave my postal shirt a quick tug and began to process his package.
Ugh, of course.
"I'm sorry, sir. But there isn't enough postage here for this sized package."
"Uh huh."
"Sir. Excuse me, sir. Hello? You need more stamps for me to send this."
"Yeah, that's fine."
My fists crumpled the edges of the manila envelope. Everything in me wanted to toss it across the room and make him fetch it like a dog. Instead I pushed it back across the counter until it bumped into his belly. "More postage," I said.
"What?" he snapped his head up. "Oh, sorry. Yeah I'll get that. Sorry."
I bet you are.
An elderly woman approached, her tiny fingers wringing around bony knuckles. Internally I sighed with relief. For once I may have a normal conversation with someone. An ordinary interaction with another human being.
"Yes ma'am, how may I help you today?"
"I have a package waiting for me." Her voice barely broke over the sounds of phones dinging and chirping.
"Wonderful. Something from your grandchildren?" I beamed an actual smile toward her.
"No. From my husband."
My smiled turned to a grin. "I imagine it's a wonderful gift then. It arrived today?" I turned to my computer, ready to take her information.
"No." She lowered her head.
"Don't worry. Not a problem. When should it have arrived then?"
My fingers paused over the keys of my keyboard. "That may be a challenge. Um, I'm not entirely certain we may still have it." I wasn't entirely certain this branch was open that long ago. I spread my hands out on the counter. I hadn't noticed before, how lost she looked behind her glassy eyes. I looked into the crow to see if perhaps she'd become separated from a caretaker. Again I was met with nothing but the tops of people's heads. "Ma'am." I leaned down to see if I could catch her down turned gaze. "Ma'am I don't believe we would have kept something for that long."
"Please, please you must have it. He said it would be here." Her voice broke.
"I'm sure he did. But it's been a long time. A very long time. Perhaps if you'd be so kind…"
"No!" Her hand slapped the table. That gathered the crowds attention. Several phones popped up, ready to record a crazy lady at the post office. "It's here. It has to be here!"
"Yes, yes. I'll go check. Just one moment." I raised my hands to placate her and went back into the receiving area. What was I doing, giving this old woman hope? I ran my hand through my hair, wondering how long I should stand in the back and pretend to look for her package.
Glenn, one of our sorters passed me. I don't know what caused me to speak out. Curiosity maybe? I took a hold of his arm to get his attention. "Glenn, do we have an area of stuff we've kept for a few years?"
"Yeah, if it's large enough or slated to be delivered on a certain date we'll hold onto things."
"But, for decades."
He whistled. "That's a tall order, that one. Couldn't hurt to check though." He pointed toward the back between two racks of packages. "Head back there and through the door behind those racks. You may find what you're looking for there."
To this day I'm not sure why I tried looking for it. I didn't even know her name or where it was going to or coming from. But my feet pulled me forward. A naked bulb greeted me as I entered the room. It's crackling sound as it popped into life sound like a taunt. I ran my hand over dust covered boxes. Pulling out my reading glasses I tried my best to read the faded words in the dim light. I was close to giving up, when a brown paper covered object tied down with string caught my eye. It stood propped against the brick wall, looking nearly 5 feet tall but only several inches thick. It called to me somewhere in my gut, telling me to check it.
I lifted it off the wall, feeling its heft. I wrapped my hand around the edges of the item and pulled. My hand slipped, tearing the paper and snapping the string. The bulky item thudded back to the floor, Fearing I'd broken it, I leaned it against the wall and prepared to go get Glenn for help.
A flash of light caught my eye. Curiosity gripped me, urging me to remove more of the paper.
I obliged.
Before me stood a full length mirror; it's golden frame intricately carved with vines and flowers. The beauty of its craftsmanship stole my breath away. But when I looked into the mirror my body froze.
In the reflection was a meadow of the greenest green. Pockets of wild flowers rolled along the tall grass. In the distance, atop a hill rested a lone willow tree. A couple sat below the tree, eating a picnic. And I felt their happiness. Their joy. Pure and boundless. It seeped into my very bones, pushing away the endless lines of sad people with their faces buried into their smartphones. Gone were the grunts of patrons and half heard remarks.
I was happy.
The woman by the tree looked toward me, and deep down I knew her. Knew that even though I could see her by the tree, she now waited at my counter. Waited for me to return this wonderful memory to her.
Tearing myself away from the images, I did my best to re-wrap the mirror. Catching Glenn, I had him haul it to the front of the store. The look on the woman's face recalled my time in front of the mirror. She thanked me and thanked me, tears welling up in her eyes.
As the door closed behind them I turned back to the line, with the boundless joy still in my heart.
The Priest and the Angels
**Disclaimer: This may be offensive to some readers, as it will come across as blasphemous to certain religions. This is not a commentary, but rather a work of fiction, aimed at playing with different religious mythos'. Thank you**
My bullet proof vest pinched beneath my rented tuxedo. Hooking a finger into my collar I gave it quick tug, trying to alleviate the feeling of being strangled. I knew I didn't fit in with the other guests. They knew it, too. It's hard to blend in when you're at least a decade-and-a-half older than everyone, with a crooked nose from too many breaks, and numerous white scars scattered across your neck and head.
I scanned the crowd, catching their stares before pretending to be looking somewhere else. Most probably assumed I was some type of security. A few looked disgusted by my presence between their sips of champagne. Oh, I'm sorry. Is the old-man an eye-sore to your spotless religious ceremony?
The massive, golden three barred cross that hung on the wall behind the head table kept drawing my attention. My heart still ached for my younger days. How many benedictions had I given over the years in front of a similar cross? How many mouths had I fed wafers of bread, or set a golden cup to lips to sip the blood of Christ? How many had I unwittingly delivered to the arms of Barachiel?
A young waiter lifted a golden gong and struck it three times with a small mallet. The idle chattered among the crowd ceased. As if mind controlled they all slid to their seats around white linen covered tables and turned their attention to the front of the room. I took the opportunity to slink behind a large column in the back.
Barachiel had arrived.
He strode into the room from a side door, clad in an expensive black suit that matched his short cropped hair. He beamed a white smile at them as he took his place at he head table. Seven gold chalices, each with a thing blade set next to it, had been lined up in front of him, each gleaming in the soft orange light of the room. I knew that to the people in the room they would see him as a handsome man of an indistinguishable age. All sharp features and a towering presence — despite his average height — that would make the most hardened of criminals weep at his feet.
But my Sight showed me the real being behind the illusion. He stood closer to eight feet, a naked form of solid muscle that could have been chiseled from marble. Two pairs of white feathered wings protruded from his back. One set stretched outward to a twenty foot wing span, while the others remained folded in front of him, covering his feet. His very form glowed white, making me feel as if I was staring into the sun.
He lifted his hands in front of him and smiled. To they poor people in that room they would see a benevolent leader, but for me, I saw the wolf-hungry eyes of an Angel staring at a flock. Six more of his brothers flowed into the room, taking their place in front of a chalice. Their combined angelic presence set a palpable vibration through the room.
I moved deeper into the shadows cast by the column, fighting the instant urge to praise them. Many in the crowd began to weep silently.
"My brothers and sisters," Barachiel's hypnotic voice filled the room. "You have all proven yourself to be the most faithful to our Lord. For that you have been chosen by the Most High to participate in a Holy Communion few have seen. You are all Christ's children, and such, His blood flows through your veins. Such a blessing must be shared, just as Christ shared it with His disciples. Come forth my brothers and sisters. For you are the chosen of His children." Barachiel motioned to the table in front of him in a wide arc.
Seven lines quickly formed in front of the main table. One by one the flock ran a blade across their palm and squeezed their blood into a chalice.
My rage frothed. This is what I had done to my congregation. Sent them to the arms of this Angel who bastardized our ancient rituals for his own gain. When I had discovered the truth, Barachiel had only laughed at me. Telling me that it was we humans who had twisted the Holy Communion, that without human blood they could not fight against the Dark Prince and his demons.
His words did nothing to ease my doubts. No, I could not accept that. We were not the Lord's playthings. We could not be so easily drained and tossed aside by these… these vampires.
One of Barachiel's brothers lifted his chalice high in a salute and said, "Aeternum esse Dei servos suos." As he brought it to his lips I stepped out from my hiding place, drawing upon the power of Angels, stealing their presence to fuel my own power.
"Verum Lumen!" I shouted, pushing the force of my humanity outward. An unseen force smashed through the tables, chairs, and crowds of people. Blood filled chalices flew from the table, splattering the seven with their contents. On the wall the three bared cross split in two. All seven beings' illusion was shattered, showing the people who they truly were. The crowd dropped to their knees and shielded their eyes. Barachiel's brothers lifted their wings to cover themselves against my power, while their leader's eyes burned with rage against me.
"You turn your might against me? An act against the Most High himself, blasphemer!" Baracheil seethed. "Kill him!" The brothers recovered themselves, lifting themselves up into the air. From the light of their presence they each drew forth a firey blade, set to cut me down.
My old bones ached from my show of force. Already my knees begged me to sit down. This was no job for someone like me. I shrugged off the pain. From my waistband I pulled out my pistol, and from beneath my coat jacket I retrieved my short sword. Angelic and Demonic scriptures a like had been worked into the blade. With a word I put more humanity into the markings, powering its demonic nature.
"So Piotr," Barachiel chuckled. "You have sided with the enemy. You aim to fight for the Strong Man."
"No." My voiced sounded rough to my ears. "I fight for Humanity."
30 Days of Flash
*Blows the dust off his blog*
A couple of years ago I set out to write one piece of flash fiction, every day for thirty days. These were to be a minimum of 1000 words. Another rule was that I couldn't prewrite or preplan any of the stories. They had to be fresh that day. Forcing myself to write down whatever popped into my head. It was challenging but very rewarding.
Admittedly I didn't finish out the 30 days. I believe I only made it to day 13 or 14. And some of the days ended up being Part 2s of various stories that I wanted to finish. That brought me to around 9 or 10 shorts in all. But what I got out of them was incredible. Out of one of them came my novel and series, "Wil and The Weird." So even if I didn't finish the run, I still came away with a great gem of an idea.
And that's the ultimate point. Playing around with ideas. Testing out the waters and seeing what flows or what excites you. I treat these as my Toy Trucks that Stephen King talks about. I get to play around and during the play find out what works and what doesn't.
I encourage anyone to join in! Some days will be fun. Others will be maddening. But over all, you'll be thankful that you did it.
So, starting tomorrow. 30 days of Flash begins.
Quick addendum. If you participate, please tweet or tumblr your work with the hashtag #30DaysofFlash. I'd love to read what every one is doing.
JordanCon VI 2014 wrapup
This past weekend I attended JordanCon for the first time. Talk about an interesting experience. Right now I should come clean about something, I'm not a fan of the series. Believe me, I know, at that convention I probably would have been murdered if I had said something. It's not that I don't appreciate the talent behind the books, it's that I couldn't get into them. I've tried several times but just couldn't do it.
It made for a very awkward opening ceremony, as my friend and I had no clue what all the jokes were about. Especially considering the fact that everyone there seemed to know one another.
Aside from that the rest of the weekend was an enjoyable experience. I'll hit the highlights.
Flawed Worlds in Fantasy — Patrick Rothfuss and Deliah S. Dawson
After attending many writing panels over the years you begin to hear the same things over and over. However, some really funny stuff came out of this one. During the Q&A someone asked Patrick Rothfuss if he'd grown up with musically inclined parents because of the beginning of "The Name of the Wind." Patrick's response was very simple, "I make shit up for a living." It pretty much set the room to laughing, though I did have to feel bad for the guy asking the question. Ultimately what Rothfuss was trying to get across is that not everything is from a writers personal experience. A lot of the times we just dream and consider what it would be like in those situations and make good guesses.
Kaffeeklatsch with Patrick Rothfuss
I was very excited that I made it in time to sign up for this. There were only ten slots and his filled up quickly, with me coming in at #8. This is my favorite thing with these writing cons, having the chance to sit in a more intimate situation with a writer you respect and getting to ask some more pointed questions. For this one I had a singular goal. Get him to sign my copy of the anthology I'm in — my first paid publication — that he wrote the foreward to. It was a huge honor to have that connection with him.
Whether or not he actually read my short is up in the air, but I'd like to keep that knowledge a secret. Ha!
30 Second Pitch — Brandon Sanderson, Harriet McDougal, Paul Stevens, and another gentlemen who's name I don't remember.
Apparently this is something they do every year. You bring your thirty second pitch and give it to the panel. They'll tear it a part and give you some good feedback. When we got there, the panel mentioned a good pitch should be about a minute.
Wait a minute, I only have 30 seconds. I've been practicing 30 seconds.
Not being prepared to give anything longer, I went with what I had, fearing that if I kept going I'd start to ramble. The large consensus was that I didn't have enough details, it was too generic. I felt it came across that way because of the time limit. I wanted to hit some general big points to grab interest. But I can see where I could drop in some good details.
My one suggestion for next year is that they speak briefly on what makes good pitch. Half of the time was taken up with explaining pitches, rather than taking them. I felt that if we had a chance to hear more pitches and critiques of them, we would have gotten a bit more out of it.
While my pitch was only, OK, what happened during the panel critique of it was much more important. I was able to let them know that I have an agent and it's already being shopped around, and in fact, is currently at the slush pile at TOR where one of the panelists is an editor. From their comment, I gathered that another TOR agent is currently looking for YA with a male protagonist. Well look there, I have a male protagonist! After the panel was over I approached them to get that name and talk a bit more about the book. After a brief conversation I was able to make a good contact and get my book that much further into the system.
I know you're wondering why I'm not using their name. Call me overly cautious, but I feel like they may appreciate a bit of anonymity.
Overall I felt the convention was a great one. Even if you're not necessarily a fan of the book series, there is plenty of geekdom floating around. If you're a SciFi/Fantasy writer, it's another great place to meet with like minded people and talk shop. What more could a little writer ask for?
For my next blog I'm going to talk about writer's responses on panels like above, and their (and hopefully one day our) responsibility to encourage new writers to take chances, rather than tearing them down.

Though guidelines suggest screening starts at 50, researcher says it's premature to change them
by Mr.Toad on Sat Jan 21, 2012 05:44 PM
Hello, I am a new contributor to this site. I have stage four choriodal melanoma with tumors in my lungs, ribs, spine, leg, liver and eye. All of them except the liver ones are pretty small and inert. My wife and I were researching SIRT spheres and wanted to have that treatment done to my liver. However, Kaiser refused to approve the treatment and we are feeling dejected. They would not even approve a clinical trial with SIRT spheres. We do not know what to do. Our oncologist will only recommend that I either take Yervoy or go to the Angeles Cancer Clinic and do their clinical trial. We went to the ACC and were treated so shabbily that I refuse to return. I can give the sordid details later if anyone really wants to know. Can anyone offer advise on how we can get into a clinical trial without our oncologist's approval? We were thinking of changing our health care provider but are uncertain if the other doctors would just do the same thing. Thanks for any help you can offer.

After tonight's 124-103 loss to the Detroit Pistons, 76ers coach Eddie Jordan did not claim his team played well, or played with energy. He said it was a bad performance, plain and simple.
On that count, Jordan offered some actual analysis from the game, analysis that actually reflected the game. But on another count, he called out a couple of his players that didn't seem to have played particularly poorly, and certainly didn't play very much. We've said on this blog for the last two months that Jordan has lost this team.
Tonight, asked straightforwardly if Jordan has lost this team, on the record, center Samuel Dalembert said, "I don't know, you should ask him."
Jordan benched Dalembert and power forward Elton Brand, playing them each only 12 minutes. It did not outwardly appear that either was playing particularly poorly: They finished with a combined 10 points, 6 rebounds. Obviously, it makes sense that with only a handful of games left in the season, Jordan would want to (or be forced to) play some younger guys like Jodie Meeks, Jason Smith, and Marreese Speights. That's what he did tonight. What doesn't make sense is Jordan then going into the post-game press conference and saying of Brand and Dalembert, "I wasn't happy with their play … that's flat out ... Defensive energy, mostly, awareness, sense of urgency, that sort of thing. We had planned to cut back on some minutes ..."

Ever wonder what it would be like to be inside the NASA JPL labs as they put together a space robot? As a kid who grew up spending more time in school doodling spaceships, aliens, and astronauts when I should've been studying in class, the chance to look over the shoulder of the NASA engineers and technicians as they assemble one of the rover robots destined to drive across the surface of the red planet would be absolutely mind blowing. Well, now I, and everyone else with Internet access, can share in the experience.(more…)
Exclusive Close-up Look At The World's Fastest Half-size Micromouse Robot (Video)
The annual All Japan Micromouse robot competition is just a little over a month away, so everyone here has been watching the regional preliminary contests like a hawk. And, the one builder that everyone has their eye on is Kato-san, who demonstrated unbelievable expertise in all categories of last year's competition, but due to a small miscalculation ended up not winning the big prize.We were lucky enough to get an exclusive close-up look at his latest half-size micromouse design, named "Egg Torte".

Modular Robotics Cubelets Beta Kits Available for Pre-Order
The Beta Cubelets robot kits are currently available for pre-order on the Modular Robotics website.
The initial Beta build was limited to only 100 sets, and almost half of them are already spoken for as we write this report.
According to the website:
"The cubelets standard kit comes with 20 magnetic blocks that can be snapped together to make an endless variety of robots with no programming and no wires. You can build robots that drive around on a tabletop, respond to light, sound, and temperature, and have surprisingly lifelike behavior. But instead of programming that behavior, you snap the cubelets together and watch the behavior emerge like with a flock of birds or a swarm of bees."
Is a Slot Machine a Robot? (Video)
Today's pressing question is "Is a slot machine a robot?"
It has gears, lights, motors, and electronic brain, and sometimes it takes on a mind of its own. Yet, we are sure that some people would quibble over whether a slot machine could be classified as a true robot.
But, for the guys at NYC Resistor, whose slogan is "We learn, share, and make things", academic arguments don't hold any relevance and never stand in the way of creatively having a ball.
Watch as they take on the challenge of creating the ultimate robotic mash-up: A 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas' themed bar bot with spinning wheels, flashing lights, building tension, stomach twisting concoctions, and even a running commentary.
And, some photos of the awesome robot contraption taken during our September trek to the NYC Resistor lair in Brooklyn:
Hobby Robot Projects Take To The Sky (Video)
"Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth,
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds...and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of...wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence."
Excerpt from "High Flight" by John Gillespie Magee Jr.
FPV with a micro-sized tricopter (Shrediquette DLXm) from W. Thielicke on Vimeo.
The Shrediquette DLXm is an amazingly clean and efficent tricopter design weighing a scant 628 grams yet capable of carrying a payload of up to 550 grams in sustained flights lasting as long as 18 minutes. It has a lift to weight ratio of 2.87:1 and incorporates features that make it an absolute pleasure to operate and experience (at least from the video since we haven't had the opportunity to fly it in person, yet…).
The tricopter designer, W. Thielicke, is a PhD student and research assistant at the University of Applied Sciences, Bremen, Germany. He's generously posted the latest versions of the project publically on his blog including the instructions and manual, source code, PCB layout (Eagle format), configuration tool (GUI), and PC -> PWM converters.

Robot Investment Needed BEFORE Disasters Happen
Major events, especially those that capture tremendous public attention because of the potential damage to the environment like the recent Gulf Oil Spill, often highlight the need for more investment in robot research and development that can provide practical clean-up solutions. After potentially catastrophic disaster occurs, it's way too late to realize that we should have developed the technology years in advance.
At the same time, depending totally on the companies, like BT, that are focused on maximizing profitability by exploiting an oil deposit is very high risk since their management priorities often turn out to be heavily weighted towards the decisions that will help them achieve their goals while minimizing the risks.
Some pundits have suggested that a portion of any oil lease, or related government licenses given to private companies, be dedicated to the development of preventative and emergency response technology. At a time when our leading universities and research facilities are struggling to find funding for even the most basic robotic research projects the need for investment of this type is abundantly clear.
SeaSwarm - Robot swarm to clean-up oil spillsA good example might the the MIT SeaSwarm project - the type of work that, had it been actively developed and in place prior to the Gulf spill, may have gone a long way towards containing and mitigating the disaster. According to a Forbes article: "Their newest project, a swarm of robots called SeaSwarm, proposes to skim the ocean surface and remove oil. The robots use "a photovoltaic-powered conveyor belt made of a thin nanowire mesh to propel itself and collect oil," MIT said in a statement. The first prototype was successfully tested in Boston's Charles River in August, and it responded well to the water's changing surface."

Kindergarten Size Robot Interacts With Humans (Video)
In addition to the two smaller, dare we say 'younger' infant robots we covered in our earlier post, the Asada Synergistic Intelligence Project team also demonstrated "M3–Kindy", approximately the size of a five year old.
To emulate the motions, sensing, perception, and interaction of a kindergarten age child, the robot was equipped with microphone ears, video camera eyes, and over 100 tactile sensors as well as 42 servos.
Thanks to KMoriyama, here are a series of videos from today's symposium:

Serious Challenge To Humanoid Robot Builders (Video)
It's difficult enough for most of us that experiment with bipedal robots to get our creations to stand and walk reasonably well. The easiest solution is just to increase the robots footprints. Make the sole of the foot larger, up to a point, and the balancing challenge becomes simplier.
That's the major reason why many of the lower cost, entry level humanoid robot kits have feet that are out of proportion with their bodies. It's also the reason that the ROBO-ONE organizing committee consistently changed the competition's body proportion guidelines, making the allowable soles smaller, over the years to make the challenge more difficult.
But, what if we went to the other extreme and shrank the soles to just points? Could a robot walk on tippy-toe just like a ballet dancer? What would it take to accomplish that feat? Is it even possible? There are numerous two wheeled balancing robot designs including everything from low end kits like the Vstone Beauto Balancer series all the way up to pricy Segways:
While they aren't trival to design and construct, the solutions are well known and can be implemented even by Lego hobbyists. Bipedal point balancing is a totally different story, and an opportunity to break new ground, as some ROBO-ONE on PC challengers are finding out:
The 4th ROBO-ONE on PC event focused on integrating simulation with operation in the real world, and the balancing challenge proved to be extremely insightful.
Anyone out there up to the challenge? Let's see what you can do!

Nakamura's JO-ZERO robot sets a new performance standard (Video)
To the untrained eye, Motohiro Nakamura's latest humanoid robot creation, JO-ZERO, may look just like any other biped robot kit, but once it starts moving the differences are startling.
Nakamura, a long time ROBO-ONE champion, founder of Himeji Soft Works, and father of the WR-07 transformer robot that captured attention world-wide and logged over 6.5 million views on YouTube, has definitely given birth to a new star in the world of humanoid robotics.

All EU Eyes on Iran: Europe muscling for investments with Tehran
European companies are competing to invest in Iran following the easing of sanctions against the country in light of the implementation of Tehran's nuclear deal with world powers, a new report suggests.
On January 20, the European Union Council suspended part of its sanctions against Iran based on the Geneva nuclear deal between Iran and six world powers -the United States, France, Britain, Russia, China and Germany- which was signed last November.
Under the report published by the bimonthly American magazine Foreign Policy, more than 100 German companies are currently doing business in Iran.
"As these corporations flood into Iran, their new investments could inject as much as $20 billion into the Iranian economy," the report added.
The report referred to Iran's energy industry as "a potential gold mine" for European investors.
On Sunday, an adviser to Oil Minister Bijan Namdar Zanganeh said Iran's Oil Ministry plans to hold a conference in July to introduce new contract terms to international companies.
According to Iranian oil officials, world oil giants, including Royal Dutch Shell, British Petroleum (BP), Malaysia's Petronas and Spain's Repsol plan to return to Iran following the easing of sanctions against Tehran.
Russia's second largest oil producer, Lukoil, France's Total and Italy's Eni have also expressed their willingness to resume work in Iran.
France is also trying to strengthen its economic ties with Iran.
A 140-member delegation of French businessmen is currently in Tehran to discuss possible new business ties.

Kumquat's Spicy Oriental Stir-Fry
Total Time
Prep 35 mins
Cook 0 mins
My own invention of several years ago (or perhaps a combination of other Asian-type recipes I had seen before), scrupulously tested and vetted. I think the sauce is fantastic; it suits my tastes as it is not as sweet as some chinese restaurant sauces and is probably much more healthful, yet it's still spicy and intensely flavorful. If you have a committed carnivore for a spouse, or if you are one, you can substitute real meat for the wheat gluten. I've made it with tofu and soy-based meat substitutes as well.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons sherry wine
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce (Lee Kum Kee brand recommended)
- 1 tablespoon chile sauce with garlic
- 1 teaspoon arrowroot (or 2 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch)
- 3⁄4 cup vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 cup carrot, peeled and sliced diagonally (about 2)
- 1 cup sugar snap pea, trimmed
- 1 small red bell pepper, cut into small strips
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 8 ounces extra firm tofu or 8 ounces wheat gluten or 8 ounces cooked beef or 8 ounces cooked chicken, cut into strips
- 3 -4 scallions, sliced
- 1 cup rice
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 cup water
- Assemble vegetables. Meanwhile, bring broth and water to boil, add rice and cover. Reduce heat to low and simmer 20 minutes (or follow instructions on box, omitting salt and butter).
- Whisk together sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
- In medium wok or large skillet, heat vegetable and sesame oils under medium-high setting. Add carrots and stir-fry 1-2 minutes. Add snow peas and stir-fry 1-2 minutes. Add pepper and onion (at the same time) and stir-fry 1-2 minutes. Add meat substitute or meat and stir-fry 1-2 minutes.
- Pour sauce over vegetable mixture. Heat to boiling while stirring, and simmer under reduced heat until until vegetables are crisp-tender (about 1-2 minutes or more).
- Spoon over hot rice, sprinkle with scallions and serve.

Simple to make, I made Perfect Basic Brown Rice for the rice. I ususally make stir fry with more oil, this time I used some of the veggie stock to steam them in the wok and then added a little oil when cooking the tofu. I wasn't a huge fan of the hoisin, but the boyfriend loved it. Made for a light late lunch. Thank you very much for posting. Made for ZWT 6.
DH and I had this stir fry for lunch today. It is very nice! We used ground beef in place of the tofu and I omitted the sugar snap peas because I didnt have any on hand. I also used an orange bell pepper in place of red because that is also what I had on hand. Otherwise, I followed all ingredients and directions as posted. I thought the rice simmering in vegetable broth made for a nice flavored jasmine rice that was perfect in moistness (not too dry). I might try that trick with other dishes in the future. DH and I might like to try beef or chicken broth for our sauce next time, however, because it might make it a little thicker and give it that meatier flavor we carnivores were looking for. Thanks for posting this dish!
What a great stirfry & very easy to make. I didn't have any cooked chicken, so stirfried some after marinating with soy sauce, chinese rice wine & cornstarch. This complimented the sauce beautifully. I used minced garlic & sambal oelek instead of chili sauce with garlic & also left out the vegetable broth, as I didn't need any extra sauce. Added celery and zucchini. Thanks Kumquat for sharing this keeper. Made for ZWT4

Adhered veneers, in which masonry units are directly attached to a substrate via mortar and ties without a drainage or ventilation gap, have become a very popular finish in residential and light commercial construction. Typical applications apply masonry over a bed of lath-reinforced mortar over a drainage plane (often of building paper or felt). When used over wood- or steel-framed walls, numerous reports of moisture problems and failures have been received.

The Mountain Country Women's Clinic in Livingston MT has been open for one week. There were 51 picketers, and patients from hundreds of miles away. That tells you that for all the talk about how there are "too many abortions," right now in much of the country clinics are too few and too far between.
It's not too late to Pledge-a-Picketer, a peaceful, nonviolent, amusing way to show your support for Dr. Wicklund's commitment to help women regardless of their ability to pay. It's a scandal that she needs to spend precious funds on a security system, but that's the world we live in — her previous clinic was targeted by an arsonist. Set your own rate — a dollar? a quarter? Even a postcard of support would be nice.

PLEASE SEND YOUR PLEDGES TO:Mountain Country Women's ClinicP.O. Box 1780Livingston, MT 59047
PAYPAL PAYMENT Option will be available by Feb. 10 via a pledge link at WWW.MOUNTAINCOUNTRYWOMENSCLINIC.COM.
Letter from Dr. Susan Wicklund:
Hello, and so many thanks to all of the people who have taken "The Pledge"!! It is Wednesday night, three days after opening Mountain Country Women's Clinic in Livingston, Montana. I am exhausted, but happy to report that we are successfully caring for women who need our services. We have had patients who have traveled from North Dakota, Wyoming, Idaho, many parts of Montana, and from right here in Livingston. For those of you not familiar with our wide-open spaces, it means some of our patients have driven up to 8 hours to get here. We provided services to one woman for no cost because she had been bleeding and cramping for two weeks and unable to find anyone who would help her without her Medicaid being in place first. We helped another find partial funding through an organization in Wyoming, and have accepted others at a sliding scale. I never turn patients away because they can't pay. I've been there.
The protesters were out in force on Monday, opening day, numbering 35 at high noon. Tuesday was quiet with only 6 protesters near a local grocery store, and then 6 again today on our street corner and near the clinic door. Any money that is received through the Pledge-A-Picketer campaign will be used to help defray the cost of subsidizing patients, and to help pay for the security system necessary to keep staff and patients safe.
On February 6th we will send out an email letting you know what the total protester count for the week is. Please do your own math and send in your pledged amount. Some of you will rather use the PayPal account on our website, which will be up and running next week.

The stench of vomit and alcohol filled Catherine's senses and she had to fight against the urge to be sick. She was taking slow cautious steps, around Grissom's apartment, breathing quietly, wondering what she might find. She thought back to how she had got here.
It had begun when Catherine had called Grissom after work, to talk to him. She had wanted to go out for a meal with him, as they were still in the friend zone. She wished it was more than that so she called. She had rung him about 20 times and text him about 15 times.
After she had called him for the 5th time she got worried and wondered if he was hurt or anything like that, as he wasn't answering his calls or texts, and he always usually did.
She had thought about the things that could have happened to him and she was immediately up of her sofa, and running to find her shoes. She had found one shoe, but the other had gone missing, just her luck.
As she had grabbed her other flat shoes, she had one thing on her scared and worried mind; Grissom. She ran out of her apartment, sliding her shoes on and running to her car. She had jumped in and started the engine, just as she had shut the door.
Catherine put her foot right down, going so fast, everything out of the car window was a blur to her. She knew she shouldn't worry, but she was Catherine, and worrying was her job. As she drove her heart was pounding in her chest, wanting to see Grissom.
A few minutes later she had arrived at Grissom's apartment, slamming on the brakes and scampering out her car, to his door. She had ran faster than before and had knocked on Grissom's door over and over, shouting his name.
She looked at the mat below her feet and quickly remembered he left a key under it, as he had once locked himself out of his apartment, and he didn't want it to happen again. She had struggled getting the key in the lock, as she was in panic mode.
When the lock opened, she threw open the door and ran in. She could smell something and it smelt bad.
"Gil?" She had asked, afraid.
She was taking quicker steps now as she reached his bedroom. She hoped he was in bed fast asleep, and was disappointed when she had saw an empty room. She turned and was about to leave when she almost tripped over a bottle of whiskey, and she saw it was empty.
She looked up and made a dash for the bathroom. The smell was getting worse, as she got closer to the door. She pushed the white door open slowly, and her hand flew to her mouth, as she gasped in shock.
Grissom lay on the cold floor, with his eyes closed and some sick next to him. Catherine instantly ran to him, covering her nose with her cardigan sleeve as she did so. The smell of the sick made her want to be sick too.
"Gil!" She shouted in panic.
She kneeled by him, nearly kneeling in the sick, but moved away from it quickly. She shook him gently hoping he would open his eyes and smile at her with his 1,000 watt smile, but he didn't.
"Gil? Can you hear me?" She asked trying to calm down.
With no response her shaking hand reached down, looking for a pulse at his neck. She found one and sighed in relief. It was a slow and steady beat, and she was happy he was alive.
She then held her head over his mouth and nose, and couldn't hear anything, or feel air hitting her cheek. She looked at his chest, and she saw his chest wasn't moving. She knew what to do, and called 911. She grabbed her cell and dialled the number. After a few seconds, the person on the other line spoke.
"Las Vegas emergency services. Will you be requiring hospital, police, or fire brigade?" The operator asked.
"Hospital," Catherine said.
"Las Vegas general hospital, please state your emergency," The woman spoke.
"My friend is unconscious, and not breathing. I need an ambulance right away," She said panicking, looking at Grissom's unmoving form.
Catherine gave them Grissom's address then continued talking.
"Is your friend male or female?" The woman asked.
"Male," She replied.
"Are you trained in first aid?" The woman asked.
"Yes, I am," Catherine replied.
"An ambulance is on the way," The woman said.
Catherine hung up and focused on Grissom. She tilted his head to the side, gently. She then opened his mouth and with her finger cleared his mouth. She felt sick as the smell of vomit got worse. She checked if he was breathing again, still nothing.
His lips were blue now, and his skin was taking on a greyish colour. She had remembered her training and bent down. She opened Grissom's mouth tilting his head back and pinched his nose shut gently. Her mouth hovered over his and the smell of vomit, made her gag.
Catherine closed her eyes, and took a deep breath before leaning down and breathing air in to Grissom's starved lungs. His chest rose and fell, as Catherine watched it closely. She leant down again and carried on. It had been only minutes, until she heard sirens and the paramedics were next to her, and Grissom was breathing again.
"Miss, you have saved this man's life," A paramedic told her.
Catherine smiled as Grissom was loaded on to a stretcher and she walked with them, holding Grissom's hand. She held his hand tightly and she sighed in relief when he squeezed her hand gently.
Thanks for reading guys. Just a quick one-shot that came to mind. Anyway please review :)
