Black Storm (A Dan Lenson Novel #7)by David Poyer
From the bestselling author of Tomahawk and China Sea, a heart-stopping thriller of Marine Corps special operations-the men whose bravery and sacrifice brought victory in the desert. Six days before America invades Iraq, Saddam Hussein issues an ultimatum: if coalition forces cross the border, he will turn Israel into "a crematorium." Belatedly realizing how far Saddam's weapons program has progressed, U.S. intelligence agencies suspect he's concealing either a crude nuclear device or missiles loaded with lethal chemical or biologic agents. A quickly assembled marine reconnaissance team gets the assignment for Operation signal Mirror. In the four days left before the ground war begins, Gunnery Sergeant Marcus Gault and his marine-army-navy team must land in Iraq, locate Saddam's ultimate deterrent, and target it for destruction with U.S. cruise missiles. After a terrifying helicopter insertion, the team moves like shadows across a mobilized and blacked-out Iraq-- toward Baghdad, and a rendezvous with a mysterious resistance member called "Shamir." Captured and tortured by Iraqi intelligence en route, Lieutenant Commander Dan Lenson, the targeting officer, must decide whether the secret he carries is worth the life of his teammates-- and his own. But even as the remnants of the team reach their objective, they discover that bombing it would unleash a horror more terrifying than they ever imagined. Now what's left of Urban Assault Team 12-four U.S. Marines, a U.S. Army biological warfare scientist, a British commando, and a Navy Tomahawk officer-- will have to deal with the situation themselves.
China Sea (A Dan Lenson Novel #6)by David Poyer

Lenson faces for the first time the unforgiving challenge of command at sea.

But in Kirachi, Dan gets new orders: take Gaddis still further east, and operate against modern pirates preying on commercial shipping in the remote, dangerous South China Sea. Pursuing an elusive and shadowy foe into an exotic, isolated world of hazardous reefs and tropical islands, Dan gradually discerns a larger purpose behind his supposed objective. Who are these "pirates?" What expansionist cunning supports them?

The Command (A Dan Lenson Novel #8)by David Poyer
After receiving the Congressional Medal of Honor for action in Iraq, Commander Daniel V. Lenson is given new orders: "Take over as skipper of USS Thomas W. Horn." His mission: Prepare the Tomahawk-equipped strike destroyer and her crew for the Red Sea, where she'll join an international task force searching for weapons of mass destruction. But this will be no routine deployment. Horn will be the first U.S. Navy warship ever to deploy with an integrated male and female crew-a controversial and politically explosive experiment that will raise questions about morale, behavior, training, sexual attraction, and ultimately, performance under fire. Facing sandstorms, smugglers, and ambushes, Horn's increasingly polarized crew will conduct demanding, diplomatically sensitive search-and-seizure operations against foreign vessels attempting to smuggle arms to Iraq. But the real nightmare is brewing in Bahrain. There, the most dangerous bomb expert in Al-Qaeda has targeted Horn for attack as the first step in a plan to redraw the map of the whole Middle East. With gripping action scenes and an explosive climax, The Command continues Dan Lenson's star-crossed career in a series that explores both global and deeply personal implications of honor, duty, power, and war.
A Country of Our Own (The Civil War at Sea #2)by David Poyer
We first met Lt. Ker Custis Claiborne, mil formerly of the United States Navy, in Fire on the Waters. Claiborne is no admirer of the institution of slavery. But he's also a Virginian. When the North decides to preserve an outworn Union by force, his course is clear. In A Country of Our Own, he "goes South," joining first the Virginia Navy, then the fledgling Confederate States Navy. After fighting on the shores of the Potomac alongside the hastily mustered Army of Virginia, Ker runs the blockade out of New Orleans aboard a converted sidewheeler-turned-Confederate raider. He and his saturnine mentor, Captain Parker Trezevant, burn, sink, and destroy across the Caribbean, to undermine the Union's financial might and force a truce favorable to the Confederacy. But when that first cruiser proves under-armed and short-legged, Ker joins Commander James Bullock in England to buy or build a ship of war capable of sweeping Union commerce from the seas. When a daring coup puts Ker in command of the fastest, most dangerous raider ever to range from Brazil to Boston-the ex-opium clipper C.S.S. Maryland-he sets Yankee seamen a-tremble wherever the water's salt and seagulls scream. And he may even decide the outcome of the war.
The Crisis (A Dan Lenson Novel #12)by David Poyer
The cries come on the wind, on the blowing dust. They're high, exultant, mingled with the grind of tires, the noisy honking of trucks. Then the killing begins. Years of drought and famine have brought Ashaara to the brink of murderous chaos. When the corrupt government falls, a charismatic young Islamic warlord known as Al-Maahdi begins an armed insurgency. As thousands of refugees stream toward makeshift camps, the United States intervenes to feed them, and to try to stabilize a strategically important region. Navy Commander Dan Lenson and his Tactical Analysis Group find themselves at the heart of the humanitarian mission. His team helps coordinate food and water supplies, manage massive port and inland logistics, and direct strikes against insurgents and pirates from the air, the sea, and on the ground. Dan is torn between the desperate plight of men, women, and children struggling to survive, and the brutal reality of fighting an invisible enemy whose ruthless tactics checkmate American might. Special Agent Aisha Ar-Rahim of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service meets with Al-Maahdi and his inner circle, hoping to negotiate a cease-fire. Meanwhile, United Nations--funded hydrologist Dr. Grainne O'Shea seeks a different path to peace, searching for a cache of underground water that can transform a ravaged land. But a devastating insurgent offensive and a massive hotel bombing that wipes out the last hope for democratic government make compromise impossible. With thousands of lives at stake and the humanitarian mission about to collapse, Dan-- along with SEAL master sniper Teddy Oberg-- has to scour a forbidding desert, find Al-Maahdi, and kill him... fast. Along with exciting action, espionage, and vividly described locales, The Crisis asks bigger questions too. What is our obligation to relieve the suffering of others? Should we risk American lives to rescue foreigners? And what should our grand strategy be in a part of the world that will be increasingly racked by drought, famine, and unrest in the decade ahead?

Down to a Sunless Sea (Tiller Galloway Thriller #4)by David Poyer
Cave diving is the most psychologically challenging and physically dangerous "adventure sport": a twisting, claustrophobic journey down submerged limestone tunnels no wider at times than the body, opening into lightless caverns as desolate and beautiful as the dark side of the moon. In this fourth thriller featuring black-sheep salvage diver and ex-SEAL Lyle "Tiller" Galloway, David Poyer has written some of the most exciting underwater action scenes in recent fiction. Tiller is broke and desperate when he gets a call for help. A Vietnam pal, Bud Kusczk, has died in a diving accident. His widow, Monica, needs Tiller's savvy to temporarily manage Bud's scuba business in Florida. At the same time, Tiller's estranged son, Tad-who has taken after his father in running from the law-shows up at his door. Together they leave Cape Hatteras for north Florida, and the submerged caves in which Bud drowned. Tiller is intrigued by these mysterious caves, and tempted too by alluring Monica Kusczk. But Monica can't explain how Bud's business produced such huge profits. At the same time, Tad discovers danger above ground, when he spies on a group of powerful men who seem well stocked with cash, drugs, and automatic weapons. As Tiller learns more about the mysterious world of the caves, and their link to Florida's vanishing aquifers, he begins to suspect that his friend's death was no accident-and that the truth lies hidden somewhere deep beneath the ground, in airless and bewildering passages that claimed the life of his friend.
Fire on the Waters (The Civil War at Sea #1)by David Poyer
The year is 1861, and America shudders on the brink of disunion. Elisha Eaker, scion of a wealthy Manhattan banking family, joins the Navy against his father's wishes. He does it as much to avoid an arranged marriage to his cousin, Araminta Van Velsor, as to defend the flag. As war looms, Eli boards the sloop of war U.S.S. Owanee. There he meets Lieutenant Ker Claiborne at his own moment of decision. Claiborne, Owanee's executive officer, is an Annapolis graduate who's seen action in the West Indies and the Africa Station on the Navy's Anti-Slavery Patrol. Cool and competent in storm and battle, he now faces an agonizing choice between the Navy he loves and his native Virginia. Whichever road he takes, he'll be called a traitor. Within days, Owanee is ordered on a desperate mission to relieve Fort Sumter, the last outpost of Union authority in the newly declared Confederacy. And in Manhattan, Araminta makes her own move for independence. So begins Fire on the Waters, a tale of honor, loyalty, and the hunger for freedom. With authentic nautical and historical detail, veteran storyteller David Poyer follows Eli, Araminta, Ker, and their loved ones and shipmates into a maelstrom of divided loyalties, bitter partings, stormy seas, governmental panic, political blundering, and finally the test of battle as the bloodiest and most divisive war in American history begins.
The Gulf (A Dan Lenson Novel #2)by David Poyer
Aboard the guided-missile frigate U.S.S. Turner Van Zandt, Lieutenant-Commander Dan Lenson and his dedicated crew take on a daring assignment: escort a convoy of supertankers through the mine-filled Persian Gulf. For Lenson and his men, however, the danger is only just beginning. When a missile from a hit-and-run enemy sinks a U.S. destroyer, every ship and aircraft in the area goes on red alert.

Hatteras Blue (Tiller Galloway Thriller #1)by David Poyer
1945. Lieutenant Commander Lyle Galloway II, U.S. Coast Guard, is on patrol off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. The war with Germany has just ended, but not all Nazis may plan to surrender. Suddenly, the radar on his old destroyer picks up a contact, moving unusually fast.... Today. A rubber raft containing the bones of three people is unearthed from a sand dune on Hatteras Island. Shortly thereafter, Tiller Galloway-- Lyie's son, a down-on-his-luck salvage diver recently paroled from prison for smuggling drugs-- is approached with a deal. An enigmatic man named Keyes wants to explore a wreck off the coast. Galloway agrees, but only for a hefty fee and a cut of whatever they find. Keyes is after a secret hoard that would make both men rich. But, unknown to them, there is a greater secret at large after forty years, a plot as deep and treacherous as the currents off Hatteras. D. C. Poyer knows Hatteras intimately, from the rolling dunes to the dangerous offshore waters. Filled with surprise and suspense, undersea diving and adventure, Hatteras Blue is both thrilling and authentic.
Korea Strait (A Dan Lenson Novel #10)by David Poyer
United States Navy officer and Medal of Honor winner Dan Lenson's mission is to observe an international military exercise involving the navies of South Korea, Japan, Australia, and America. It should be routine duty for Dan, but old alliances are unraveling, as North Korea threatens the U.S. and China expands its influence. Acting as both adviser and adversary to a ruthless South Korean task-force commander, Dan must stop a wolfpack of unidentified submarines, armed with nuclear weapons, which are trying to elude Allied surveillance and penetrate the Sea of Japan. Is it the start of an invasion... or an elaborate feint, to divert attention from a devastating attack? Battling faulty weapons, a complacent Washington establishment, and a fierce typhoon season at sea, Dan must act on his own - even if doing so means risking the end of his career, the lives of his observers, and the possibility of nuclear war. Featuring intense action and political intrigue at the highest levels, Korea Strait is both a first-class thriller and a prescient look at how the next major war might begin.
Louisiana Blue (Tiller Galloway Thriller #3)by David Poyer
In Louisiana Blue, black sheep Lyle "Tiller" Galloway, broke and on the run from his Colombian ex-employers, leaves Hatteras Island for Louisiana's Gulf Coast. He worked its oil rigs before, years ago, doing the toughest, most dangerous kind of diving, under conditions that used men up and sometimes killed them. But the pay and the things it bought-women, drugs, booze, and freedom-were worth the risk. Now he's ten years older. Robots do the deep diving, and work's hard to find for a man with a prison record. Then a call from a little-known outfit named DeepTech leads Tiller to Pandora 2000, an enormous rig far out in the Gulf of Mexico. He'll be working a thousand feet down, with a mixed crew of ex-cons, loners, and renegades, developing a major oilfield with hundreds of millions of dollars at stake. But something's wrong. A fatal crash, another man's wife, the strain and danger of saturation diving, a greedy, unscrupulous boss...it begins to add up. And when Galloway gets an unusually lucrative offer, he can't turn it down. Even though his choice may end in catastrophe-not only for himself, but for the whole Gulf Coast.
The Med (A Dan Lenson Novel #1)by David Poyer
In the tradition of The Caine Mutiny, The Sand Pebbles, and Time and Tide, David Poyer has written a richly detailed military novel of ambition and high adventure. The time is now, the setting is the volatile Eastern Mediterranean, and the scenario is frighteningly familiar. A hundred hostages are taken captive from the American Embassy on the island of Cyprus, and flown to an abandoned hotel in the hills of Syria held by heavily armed and desperate terrorists. The Sixth Fleet, tracked by Soviet spy ships and under fire from hostile aircraft, steams with deadly intent toward the coast of Syria. Two thousand Marines and three thousand sailors mobilize for an operation that needs brutal firepower and exacting precision: a mission of rescue demanding the Navy's weaponry and logistical planning at sea, and the Marines' fierce effectiveness on land. David Poyer, himself a former line officer on destroyers and amphibious ships, has written more than a splendid adventure. The Med is teeming with the ritual, the lore and the intense discipline of military life. Its vivid scenes of celebration on shore leave in an unfamiliar country, the grinding, claustrophobic months at sea, the welcome release of war games and the harrowing fear and adrenaline rush of the real thing, make The Med an absolutely authentic portrait of the Navy today. We follow six major characters throughout the mission: Isaac Sundstrom, the paranoid and fatally indecisive commodore; Dan Lenson, Sundstrom's lieutenant, who must live down a tragic past mistake to save his career; Will "Oreo" Givens, a black Marine torn by conflicts of duty and race; Kelly Wronowicz, the hardbitten, supremely competent engine-man with a vulnerable heart; Susan Lenson, Dan's wife, held hostage with her young daughter by ruthless extremists; and Hanna Abu Harisah, "The Majd," a radical who will fight to the death for his beliefs. Poyer has created a potent mix of people with complex motives that ignite a plot both subtle and exciting-- a tale of increasing tension and explosive finish.
The Passage (A Dan Lenson Novel #4)by David Poyer
In The Passage, Poyer offers the fourth book in his ambitious cycle of the U.S Navy-a powerful human drama of hope, betrayal, redemption, and thrilling action at sea and ashore. The Passage begins with a mystery: a U.S. attack sub is lost on a secret mission off the Siberian coast. As the Navy investigates, fearing that somehow its codes are being read, Lieutenant Dan Lenson begins a crucial assignment. Ordered to straighten out the radically innovative but failure-prone combat system of USS Barrett, DDG-998, Lenson is at a personal crossroads. His wife has left him, his previous tour of duty ended in tragedy, and he is beginning to doubt his own sense of right and wrong. Barrett is on her way to a demanding workup in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. If she fails, his career will be over. As Dan starts his voyage, newly widowed Graciela Gutierrez begins her own. A pregnant sugar-cane worker, she dreams of raising her fourth child in freedom. With eight others in a remote village in Camaguey Province, she plans a daring escape from Cuba in a homemade boat. If they succeed, a new life awaits in America; if they fail, they will die in the shark-filled waters of the Windward Passage. Struggling to crack an electronic virus, Lenson and computer expert "Doctor DOS" Shrobo gradually uncover more problems aboard Barrett. Captain Thomas Leighty may be losing control of his ship. There are whispers about his sexual orientation and the executive officer's loyalty. As a massive refugee boatlift begins, another danger is unmasked: somewhere aboard is a ruthless and cunning spy, with a plan that will lure the Navy, Barrett, and Lenson into a frightening international confrontation. Suspenseful, profound, and richly peopled, The Passage is an unforgettable novel that asks disturbing questions about honor, loyalty, justice, and about the truth.
That Anvil of Our Souls: A Novel of the Monitor and the Merrimack (The Civil War at Sea #3)by David Poyer
In the third volume of David Poyer's monumental Civil War at Sea cycle, North meets South in the momentous first battle between ironclads. We first met Elisha Eaker, Theodorus Hubbard, Araminta Van Velsor, Dr. Alphaeus Steele, Calpurnius Hanks, and Ker and Catherine Claiborne in Fire on the Waters, witnessing their unwilling but inescapable choosing of sides as America split into two nations. Then, In A Country of Our Own, Ker took the war to the North, as captain of the fastest, most heavily armed Confederate commerce raider ever to put to sea. Now, That Anvil of Our Souls takes us into the turrets and casemates of the most decisive sea engagement of the Civil War. In New York, Theo is the engineer for a revolutionary new "fighting machine" called the Monitor, and eager to become a man of means... so eager, a bribe compromises his integrity. In Norfolk, Catherine faces her husband's impending hanging for piracy, the death of their baby daughter, and the bitter realities of enemy occupation. In Richmond, Lt. Lomax Minter is ordered to find a spy who threatens the Souths ultimate weapon: a tremendous ironclad named Virginia, built from a sunken wreck in a race against time. While the aging Dr. Steele witnesses the horrors that are the aftermath of glory; and gun-captain Hanks, escaped slave, struggles with the demons of his past and the twin snakes of "freedom." Poyer's vivid characters join with meticulously researched historic figures to re-create the bloodiest conflict in American history-one whose reverberations will endure as long as freedom, equality, and home have different meanings in proud human hearts.
The Threat (A Dan Lenson Novel #9)by David Poyer
From the bestselling author of The Circle, The Med, The Gulf, The Passage, Tomahawk, China Sea, Black Storm, and The Command ... a heart-stopping thriller of danger and conspiracy at the highest levels of command and government. Medal of Honor winner Commander Dan Lenson wonders who proposed that he be assigned to the White House military staff. It's a dubious honor-- serving a president the Joint Chiefs hate more than any other in modern history. Lenson reports to the West Wing to direct a multi-service team working to interdict the flow of drugs from Latin America. Never one to just warm a chair, he sets out to help destroy the Cartel-- and uncovers a troubling thread of clues that link cunning and ruthless drug lord Don Juan Nunez to an assault on a nuclear power plant in Mexico, an obscure Islamic relief agency in Los Angeles, and an air-cargo company's imminent flight plan across the United States. Lenson has to battle civilian aides and his own distaste for politics to derail a terrorist strike over the Mexican border. His punishment for breaking the rules is to be sent to the East Wing... as the military aide carrying the nuclear "football," the locked briefcase with the secret codes for a nuclear strike, for a president he suspects is having an affair with his wife. And something else is going on beneath the day-to-day turmoil and backstabbing. As his marriage deteriorates and his frustration with Washington builds, Lenson becomes an unwitting accomplice in a dangerous and subversive conspiracy. The U.S. military is responsible for its Commander in Chief's transportation and security. If someone felt strongly enough about it... it would be easy for the president to die.

Tomahawk (A Dan Lenson Novel #5)by David Poyer
David Poyer's cycle of nautical adventures featuring Navy officer Dan Lenson have been acclaimed as some of the finest sea novels of our time. With Tomahawk, Poyer offers his most thoughtful, suspenseful, and morally complex book to date. In the wake of a collapsed marriage and three stressful tours at sea, Lieutenant-Commander Lenson is ordered to shore duty in Washington, D.C. There he finds he's been handpicked for a high-priority, top-secret assignment: design, test, and deploy Tomahawk missiles armed with nuclear warheads. But as Dan moves into the thick of top-level Pentagon politics, he realizes that the trouble-prone new missile has powerful enemies, determined to destroy it and him. Troubling leaks from the program seem to suggest a spy is at work, and Dan comes under suspicion. Meanwhile, he finds himself unexpectedly-- perhaps unwisely-- falling in love with Kerry Donovan. Kerry is a peace activist, soon to go on trial for her protests, and Dan's involvement with her challenges the core of his beliefs and duties-- and finally his character. With riveting action scenes on land and at sea, powerfully felt dilemmas of conscience, and an explosive climax, Tomahawk is an unforgettable journey through the corridors and currents of official Washington and the U.S. Navy.

The Weapon (A Dan Lenson Novel #11)by David Poyer

United States Navy Commander and Medal of Honor winner Dan Lenson has been handed another outside-the-box assignment. TAG Charlie, an elite team of active-duty sailors, SEALs, and civilian analysts, is tasked to investigate and defuse emerging naval threats around the globe.

It's rather unusual for a basketball team to win a game while scoring eight points through halftime. Yet Akron accomplished exactly that on Thursday, defeating Falconer, 34-27, in the Class B-2 girls basketball semifinals.
"We just couldn't make a shot in the first half," coach Dave Butler of Akron said about the game. "We hit three drives in the first half; we didn't make an outside shot. But we hit four outside shots in the third quarter, and that got us going."
Tobie Abrams had 11 points for the Tigers (11-9), including three three-pointers. Abby Courtney had nine points to lead Falconer (2-8).
Next up for Akron is Wilson (18-2), a 33-27 winner over Southwestern (8-5) in the other semifinal. This was another defensive struggle from the start, as the teams were tied at 11-11 at the half. But the Lakemen broke the game open by scoring the first eight points of the second half. Emily Lasher led Wilson with 11 points and 10 rebounds.
"It's another Niagara-Orleans game," Butler said about the B-2 final. "We know each other well."
In the C-1 semifinals, Tapestry (16-3) used its usual trio of fine players to defeat Allegany-Limestone (13-7), 57-33. Shaquana Owens had 23 points, Nia Caver supplied 19, and Adila Gathers added 15.
"It was close in the first quarter, when Owens took the game right over," coach Fran Snyder said. "She had nine points in the second quarter, and in the third quarter she hit three threes."
Gathers had 10 rebounds and 10 blocks for a triple-double.
Now it's on to the C-1 finals against Silver Creek (15-5), a 54-34 winner over Holland (12-5).
Jordan Brooks had 33 points and 27 rebounds in a monster game for Silver Creek.
Tapestry is enjoying the ride.
"It's a first for the school, and they take a lot of pride in it," Snyder said.
In the IAC semifinals, Walsh (7-10) had too much for St. Mary's School for the Deaf (5-3), 62-38. Katie Paque and Liz Warren had 18 points each for Walsh, while Shakenya Ward-Brassel led all scorers with 26 points for St. Mary's.

Queen of Darkness II
Chapter VI: Lire's Story, Part 2
Miraculously, Lire managed to get completely ready, and just in time to leave for the academy. She got into the raccoon-driven carriage, and prepared her mature self.
At home, Lire was highly preppy. Always obsessing over her look, and she never really stopped talking. But at the academy, and in public, she was levelheaded and optimistic. She was somewhat of a teacher's pet at the academy, but that wasn't to say she was bad at archery. She worked hard, and often got the highest grades.
The war had been going on for three years, but Eryuell Island had been untouched by it. While Serdin and Kanavan had both courted their government for help in the war; the elves remained devout pacifists. And while Lire valued her archery lessons more than anything else, she was confident she would never use them in a real combat situation for at least the next twenty years.
Lire arrived at the academy only a minute late, and, the servant opening the door for her, she stepped out, in front of Eryuell Island Archery Academy.
Elves were very devoted architects, and the academy was absolutely stunning. A 2-metre fence that stretched around the entire property, made of solid gold, guarded it. The money for the gold fence had been granted by Eryuell Island's monarchy, over 200 years ago. The island was very wealthy, and they could afford extravagances like this – after all, the academy was set to become the island's main source of fame – and so it did.
The academy was considered to be the best school for any kind of combat in the entire world – or as much as was known as the world. In recent years, it had struck controversy, when a lawsuit was filed against its speciesist policies. The school would accept any elf from the ages of 10-40 automatically, but non-elves had to go through a rigorous application process, and were almost always declined. The school also showed a distinct bias towards the students native to Eryuell Island – a non-elf from Bermesiah was almost always turned down in favour of someone who was essentially the same, except from Eryuell.
But despite those controversies, the school was still widely hailed and beautiful. Beyond the golden fence lay the academy – but it could almost be a palace. It was a specimen of pure beauty. The outer walls were made of steel, polished until it shined. Some of the higher rooms had balconies, made of beautifully painted wood. Gems lined the turrets and towers, and an inviting sign that said "ERYUELL ISLAND ARCHERY ACADEMY" perched above the entrance door, each letter sold silver.
Lire slid her student card through the enchanted card reader by the door. The gate slid open, as a voice spoke "Welcome to Eryuell Island Archery Academy, Lire Eryuell." coming from a nearby (also enchanted) speaker, the voice of the academy's principal, Lime.
Lire walked up the path of stone, which was lined with some of the island's native flowers. A large pond was to her right, where fish and frogs lived together in harmony. The pond was in the shade of a small forest, where the academy's students could often be found, resting against trees and doing their necessary physics homework.
A path to the left led to the academy's housing. The few students who were not native to the island could pay extra to live on-campus. In line with the academy's flagrant native bias, the area around the houses was nowhere near as up-kept as the rest of the academy. Weeds sprouted all over, and tree roots (from the unpruned trees) sporadically uprooted houses.
Lire opened the large academy doors, and stepped inside, walking to the room where she had left her bow and archery uniform.
Despite all the preparation she had gone into selecting a dress, Lire did not wear it for her lessons. Any of the selections in her wardrobe restricted her movement far too much, and it was very important for her to be able to move. The dress was primarily for the trip there, and for the trip back. She couldn't be caught wearing her uniform in public. She had to keep up on her fashion in the public eye.
After all, she
the princess of Eryuell Island.

Paul Loeb: Obama has forgotten the basic lesson of negotiation — you don't hand everything over before you start, particularly to people who have utter contempt for your values and goals.
Won't You Come Home, Jim Crow?
Tom Degan: The Republican party is at this very moment mounting a campaign that, if successful, will disenfranchise the voting rights of African Americans – and everyone else who tends to vote left-of-center – all across America. Isn't that sweet?
Democrats Score More Victories in Wisconsin Recalls
Paul Hogarth: Republicans are so concerned about what will happen on August 9th – when six GOP state senators are subject to recall – that they have gone full speed ahead to pass a hyper-partisan gerrymandered map, while they still control the legislature.
Banana Republicans
Brent Budowsky: The extreme hard-line attitude of many Republicans has significantly raised the prospects for a national default and rating agency downgrades that would sweep across the nation and many states, causing an economic cataclysm and public outrage unlike anything ever seen in the history of the republic.
Can Obama Pull a Clinton on the GOP?
Robert Reich: It's no accident that President Obama appears to be following the Clinton script. After all, it worked.
Choosing Homosexuality
Tina Dupuy: Republicans embrace hot-button social issues as a way to get their disastrous economic policies passed. It's like Three-Card Monte: while all eyes are on the two grooms – white-collar grand larceny gets decriminalized.
Why Mitch McConnell Will Win the Day
Robert Reich: Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's compromise on the debt ceiling is a win for the President disguised as a win for Republicans. But it really just kicks the can down the road past the 2012 election – which is what almost every sane politician in Washington wants to happen in any event.
Elected on Hope, Obama Governs Through Fear
Randy Shaw: Obama ran for president preaching hope and rejecting appeals to fear, but now has become exactly what he railed against.
America Held Hostage
Tom Degan: In a move that is as transparent as it is outrageous, our Republicans representatives are so desperate to take back the White House and the senate in 2012, they are within twenty-six days of sending the American economy – along with the American people – into the abyss.
Cut the Crap and Create Jobs
Brent Budowsky: While the Republican Party at the national and state level is doing everything it can to destroy jobs, the Democratic Party is failing to fight for jobs with the intensity that Democrats have historically done.
Christie, Kasich Win Media Cheers While Public Pays the Price
Randy Shaw: Eliminating this human element allows Christie, Kasich and others to avoid appearing like plutocrat-serving elitists who do not care about common people.
The Day the GOP Shot Ol' America Down
Ted Vaill: In less than a month, unless they relent in their effort to destroy the American (and the world) economy to curry favor with their Tea Party wing, the Republicans in Congress will cause the American government to default on its debt, on August 2, 2011 or thereabouts.
July 4 Infamy: Republicans Try to Destroy America's Economy
Brent Budowsky: On this July 4 the Republican Party is divided between the hope America fails Republicans, who appear to actively want joblessness to rise to seek political gain, and the radical Republicans who adore Ayn Rand.

text: Cast: 1m., 2w., extras. Good Night, Sweet Mother deals with the controversial subject of euthanasia, or mercy killing. The subject is treated both fairly and with great dignity in this one-act play, which, according to the author, "creates far more questions among the audience than the script itself answers." Annabelle Litke is slowly dying of cancer. The pain is so severe that even her medication cannot help. She asks her son to help her take her life so she can have a "dignified death." He sadly agrees. But Annabelle's daughter is against her mother's decision and tells her brother he will be a murderer if he helps her commit suicide. As the curtain closes, the sister embraces her brother, not because she has changed her mind but as a sign of close family love the three have shared. This gripping play gives intelligent and convincing arguments for both sides of this emotional problem. After its premier production, professionals led audience discussion on issues raised in the play. The three main viewpoints on the subject are represented by the mother, terminally ill with cancer who wants to die with dignity; her son, who loves her so dearly he complies although it tears his heart out; and her daughter, who cannot commit to an act she thinks is wrong. Approximate Running Time: 60 minutes.

This page presented by Amazon Exercise & Fitness
|Weston Family Y Indoor Triathlon:-
|Distance: Swim 15 Minutes, Bike 25 Minutes, Run 20 Minutes
The 2014 Mossman Family Y Indoor Tri consists of a 15 minutes swim in the pool, cycle on a spin bike for 25 minutes and finish by running as far as you can on the treadmill for 20 minutes. The swim laps, spin bike and treadmill distances will be agrigated and scored to get the top three Male and Female triathletes. Unlike an outdoor triathlon, the transition times do not count towards your over-all finish time and you will have time to get from one element to the next.
Depending on the number of participants, there will be at most two swimmers per lane. Each swimmer will stay on the same side of the lane.
The spin bikes can accommodate SPD clips only. There are also cages on the pedals for those choosing to use your running shoes to bike. Remember to bring your lock for the locker rooms, your swim cap and goggles and note that men must keep their shirts on during the cycle and run portions of the race.

Foreclosure protection offered to displaced families
WASHINGTON - U.S. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan today announced HUD will speed federal disaster assistance to the State of Washington and provide support to homeowners and low-income renters forced from their homes following flooding and mudslides beginning on March 22, 2014, and continuing.
Yesterday, President Obama issued a major disaster declaration for Snohomish County and the Sauk-Suiattle, Stillaguamish and Tulalip Indian Reservations. The President's declaration allows HUD to offer foreclosure relief and other assistance to certain families living in these impacted areas.
"Families who may have been forced from their homes need to know that help is available to begin the rebuilding process," said Donovan. "Whether it's foreclosure relief for FHA-insured families or helping these counties to recover, HUD stands ready to help in any way we can."
HUD is:
Read about these and other HUD programs designed to assist disaster victims.
HUD's mission is to create strong, sustainable, inclusive communities and quality affordable homes for all.
HUD is working to strengthen the housing market to bolster the economy and protect consumers; meet the
need for quality affordable rental homes: utilize housing as a platform for improving quality of life; build
inclusive and sustainable communities free from discrimination; and transform the way HUD does business.

This review is from: Cooler Master Elite 431 Plus - Mid Tower Computer Case with Windowed Side Panel and USB 3.0
I ordered this case based on CoolerMaster's history of providing quality cases at a great price. I built a new rig in this case in less than 45minutes from start to finish. The build consisted of an ASrock mATX 1155 + Intel i3 2020 3.3 GHz with 3x WD 250 GB blue hard drives. I have 0 complaints about this case outside of wiring.
The wiring in this case was a bit tough, but that's not enough reason to take off an egg. I didn't expect much in terms of wiring from a mid-tower case at this range, however there was more than enough space for 3 HDDs and a Corsair 650 TX. Just something to keep in mind if you're building a serious rig, you may want to go bigger.
Did you find this review helpful? Yes / No Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!

Tape Backups Persist Amid Storage Innovations
While many organizations move to cloud storage and backup solutions, many continue to incorporate tape in their backup and recovery plans.
Latest News5 Steps to Selecting the Right Video Wall for Your Central Station MU-MIMO Empowers SMBs to Say Goodbye to Network Congestion and Hello to Faster Wi-Fi Quick Tips for Squashing Meeting Technology Trouble How Can You Use Technology To Keep Your Training Sessions More Engaging?
Latest ResourceBuilding an AV Strategy in the New Era of AV, IT and the Cloud
Kramer shows how its solutions can help build a foundation for a new AV strategy that supports the convergence of IT and migration to the cloud.
As disk-based, online, and cloud storage and backup solutions become more cost-effective and readily available, the role of tape backup in organizations has shifted.
Greg Schulz, founder and senior adviser at the Server and Storage IO Group, says that shift has a lot to do with the size of a given organization. The smaller the organization, he says, "the more likely they've already moved away from tape or have never used tape at all. The larger the organization, the more likely they are using a hybrid of tape and other technologies."
Schulz adds, "Tape is being replaced for day-to-day backups by disk and online solutions, but it doesn't go away entirely. Its role shifts to long-term retention and archiving."
A Hybrid Storage Solution
When tape is used for long-term storage and archiving, many of the arguments against it reliability and high failure rate become moot, Schulz explains. "Tape backups weren't meant to be accessed repeatedly and to be overwritten again and again. That's when failure and data corruption occur. When organizations use tape to simply park data and store it, when it just sits there, failure rates are greatly reduced and it's more reliable and extremely affordable."
Much smaller organizations and home-based businesses often don't need tape-based solutions at all. As Schulz points out, many smaller organizations find consumer-focused backup solutions, like Carbonite, Mozy, and other similar offerings, are just as affordable and easier to use.
"The smaller the environment, the more likely it is they've used commodity products, like Carbonite, Amazon, or Google's online storage solutions," Schulz says. "Because of economies of scale, these kind of high-end technologies don't scale upward to the larger SMBs, and in those situations tape becomes more practical. But smaller organizations can leverage these sophisticated, consumerized products to finally have secure backups and storage in place very cost-effectively."
Redundancy Trends
For redundancy and easy access, "the trend is for one backup copy on a disk with another copy of the data somewhere off-site, whether that's the cloud or a physical backup solution," says Schulz. "The more important the data, the more copies you're going to have you need redundancy. And if this data, these files or records, are saved on a disk or in the cloud, it's much easier and simpler for small businesses and SOHOs to access it. They can even do user-initiated restores."
The smallest organizations often use removable backup disk drives Schulz favors the latest evolution of Iomega's Zip drive that can be stored almost anywhere.
"Not that long ago, for a very small business, it would have been impractical to [have] network-attached storage [NAS] with iSCSI connectivity and built-in backup," says Schulz. "That kind of technology was exclusive to the larger, more profitable SMBs." For his own business, Schulz purchased just such a drive: the Iomega StorCenter ix4 NAS Server.
"Economies of scale preclude larger businesses from using technology like what I use," Schulz explains. "But for small and mid-sized organizations, it's really affordable, secure, and efficient," Schulz says. "Tape isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Yes, we're seeing organizations use less tape, but it continues to play an important role in backup and storage. What's really keeping tape alive? Disk drives."

A few steps from the Peppelman home is "The Barn."
When Walter was in eighth grade, his father saw his kids morphing into wrestling machines. So to help their progress, he provided a mini backyard training facility.
It was a place to put in extra work, a place for Courts to train a special group of kids in the art of tilts, arm bars and cradles.
The barn turned into a haven for a group of future CD wrestlers. Kenny Stank, Tony Dallago, Kenny Courts and a few others who traveled around the elementary tournament circuit were about to take the state high school wrestling scene by storm.
Courts pushed each kid to the limit, and they kept coming back for more. But the dedication and sweat that was left on the mat in the barn wasn't just for sport. It was about succeeding in life.
"I think the No. 1 thing they all have is the drive and the discipline to be good at something," Courts said.
"They are all smart. They have a gift and a drive to succeed. I think that is something they were born with."
Wrestling is a sport of discipline. It teaches you how to overcome obstacles. It teaches you how to fail, brush yourself off and get back up.
That might not have been in the forefront of a father's mind when the barn was constructed. But it still stands today as a symbol of what four boys could do, on and off the mat, if given the opportunity.
Walter placed four times in states and won one state title. He continued his wrestling career at Harvard and works on Wall Street. He also participates in "Beat the Streets" — a program that uses wrestling to keep inner city kids off the streets.
Marshall, the most talented of the four Peppelman brothers, earned three state titles and was runner-up as a freshman. He is furthering his education at Cornell.
Colton didn't have the wrestling prowess of his brothers, but he worked every bit as hard to finish fourth in the state as a senior.
He followed Walter as a John Travers Award winner, a prestigious student-athlete award presented by The Patriot-News to seniors who excel outside of sport. Oh, he is also at Harvard.
Then there is Garrett.
"He is a good mix," Walter said. "He has less talent than Marshall but he is more hard-working.
"So many things have changed. A lot of the stuff he does is self-motivated. Garrett doesn't have a line of people around him to push him. He pushes himself, and that is impressive for a 17-18 year-old to understand what he has to do to be successful on his own."
Garrett is as talented as he is bright. He has 181 wins — one more than Marshall — and can secure his place in history this week by winning a second state title.
But that's not his sole focus. He is scheduled to attend the University of Virginia and can't wait to start another chapter in his life.
"My brothers set a really good pace," Garrett said. "We all had different experiences, but we all helped each other follow the path to do well in the state tournament and go on to college.
"My dad built the barn so we would have the best opportunities. The goal was to become state placers, state champions and then go to college. They were steps in the road to the next level."

we as bus driver always go beyond the call of duty give that guy a medal
LITTLETON, Colo. — A gunman opened fire in front of a middle school here Tuesday, shooting two students before staff members disarmed and subdued him.
According to a statement from Jeffco Public Schools, Deer Creek Middle School students Matt Thieu and Reagan Weber were transported to a hospital following the incident. Weber was treated and released; Thieu remains hospitalized, but is reportedly improving.
Counselors are helping students and family members deal with the shootings. The middle school closed after the shooting and is scheduled to reopen on Monday.
Fox News reports that alleged gunman Bruco Eastwood faces two counts of attempted first-degree murder.
Investigators say that Eastwood began firing at students with a hunting rifle outside of the school as they were leaving.
According to witnesses, David Benke, a math teacher, tackled and disarmed Eastwood. Other teachers and school bus drivers helped subdue Eastwood until police arrived.
The news source reports that Steve Potter was one of the school bus drivers.
"Dr. Benke was out there at the time the school was being let out. It looked to me like he heard the shot and decided to react accordingly," Potter told FOX31 News. "There was a little bit of a wresting match for about five seconds or so," before Benke had disarmed the gunman, Potter said.
Deer Creek Middle School is just a few miles from Columbine High School, where in 1999 two students shot and killed 12 of their classmates and a teacher and injured 23 others before turning the guns on themselves.

How does that Second Commandment go?
There doesn't seem to be much loving of thy neighbor going on around Anderson Valley Christian Church in rural Indiana.
Dubois County Sheriff's deputies arrived there Sunday after reports of gunfire and explosions, found a decapitated dog hanging in front of a nearby cross, and unearthed a bit of a feud between a church elder and a former churchgoer.
14 News reported that former churchgoer Damian McBride, who lives next door to the church, suspects a church member was responsible for poisoning his dog.
To send a message, McBride said, he used a piece of heavy equipment to hoist his dog's headless carcass into the air in front of a large stone cross on his family's property.
Just in time for it to be seen by families arriving for worship at the church, about 50 feet away.
(The dog's head had been removed during a necropsy, and the body was later returned to the family.)
McBride has been engaged in a feud with at least one church elder, Daniel Madden, for several months.
Madden claims he was once bitten by one of McBride's dogs, but the case was thrown out in court.
The McBrides say they suspect Madden or some other church member is responsible for poisoning their dog Bruno — their fourth pet to be poisoned, they claim.
The necropsy results are not in yet, but McBride said he found hot dogs in his driveway and what appeared to be rat poison.
Madden said thinking a church member would harm McBride's dog was ridiculous.
"There's not a person in this church who would do something like this," he said.
"I'm kind of lost for words," he said. "Hanging a dead dog on a cross that Jesus died on for me and you and everybody else, that's sad."
Madden said attendance at services has dropped by half since troubles began with the neighbor.
Deputies say the investigation is continuing. No charges were filed Sunday because the gunfire that drew authorities there came from the home, and the guns were never pointed at the church, according to Dubois County Free Press.
The dog's body was covered with a blanket and strapped to the cross Sunday — apparently after sheriff's deputies arrived. On Monday, the dog was still there.
McBride said he used to attend services at the church every Sunday but is now banned from the property.
McBride says two of his cats and two of his dogs have now died mysteriously.
"I just don't want anyone else's dogs to be poisoned or killed and I want the people that poisoned by dogs to go to jail," he said.

Residents create a memorial at site where pit bull was found hanging from bridge
Concerned and frightened residents of an Atlanta suburb have created a memorial to a pit bull found hanged from a bridge nearly two months ago.
They've covered the guardrail on the overpass with stuffed animals and reward signs in hopes the dog's killer will be brought to justice.
Volunteers met at the bridge along Kelly Lake Road Saturday and attached hundreds of stuffed animals — mostly dogs — to the handrails.
Police in DeKalb County continue to investigate the case, and a $10,000 reward has been offered for information leading to a suspect, according to WSB-TV in Atlanta.
A woman walking her 2-year-old son to day care found the dog hanging by a chain from the bridge on May 20.
Many residents believe the killer lives in their neighborhood.
"You don't have to be a dog lover or even have pets to understand what a vicious crime this was committed right here across the street from where people live, right next door," explained Johanna Falber, who organized the event.
Falber said the group has been posting reward signs on the bridge, but someone keeps removing them.
"It's about a vicious killer that's out here somewhere, that keeps ripping down our signs so they're not caught," Falbert said. "We want attention. We want this to stop. We want that dog killer found."
Police described the dog as a brown and white, female pit bull.
Anyone with information about the dog or the crime can call the police tip line at 404-294-2645.

Pit bull burned and hung for chewing Bible
A South Carolina woman says God advised her to hang and burn her nephew's pit bull because it had chewed her Bible and was a "devil dog," according to animal control officers.
Miriam Fowler Smith, 65, of Pacolet Mills, S.C., remained in jail Tuesday morning in Spartanburg County, charged with felony animal cruelty, the Charlotte Observer reported.
Smith's nephew, Andy Fowler, said he originally thought his dog, Diamond, had broken its leash and got away. But when he confronted his aunt, officers said, she admitted killing the dog.
Officers searched the property around the house and said they found the dog's burned body under a mound of leaves and grass.
The police report said officers found an orange extension cord wrapped around the dog's neck and noticed a kerosene smell.
Smith was arrested Sunday and charged with one count of ill treatment of animals.

Gucci, the dog that changed Alabama's law
Gucci, the dog who helped make animal abuse a felony in Alabama, died Wednesday.
Doug James — Gucci's rescuer and owner — said he made the difficult decision to euthanize the dog, who recently turned 16.
"I had dreaded it, and put if off for two or three days," James, who lives in Mobile told the Times Daily. "His kidneys were failing him."
James caught some youths torturing the chow-husky mix one night in 1994. The youths hanged the dog by his neck and set him on fire.
The incident triggered a campaign for animal rights that resulted in the Pet Protection Act, better known as the "Gucci Law," in Alabama.
The act , making animal cruelty a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison, was signed by then-Gov. Don Siegelman on May 19, 2000 – the sixth anniversary of the attack – as Gucci looked on.
Gucci's celebrity continued after that, with appearances at schools, on "The Maury Povich Show" and "Inside Edition." He also played played "Sandy" in Mobile theatrical productions of "Little Orphan Annie."
The dog was only 12 weeks old when he was beaten, hung in a tree by his neck, doused with lighter fluid and set on fire. Two of the three abusers received sentences of community service, while a third — the lone adult — was sentenced to six months in jail.
"If ever there was a dog that should hate people it should be Gucci, but he loved everyone," said Brenda Cashdollar, vice president of Friends of the Mobile Animal Shelter.
Cashdollar told Al.com that Gucci was unable to walk by the time of his 15th birthday, but still wagged his tail in response to those who greeted him. A party planned to mark his 16th birthday Saturday at B&B Pet Stop in Mobile will now serve as a memorial event, organizers said.
Gucci will be cremated, James said, and his ashes will be placed in a memorial garden planned at the Mobile Animal Shelter.

Dead pit bull found in bag hanging from tree
Animal control officers in Connecticut are asking for the public's help in solving the mystery of a dead pit bull found in a trash bag hanging from a tree near a highway.
Authorities say bloody clothing, needles and syringes were also in the bag, found near a highway in the town of Orange on Saturday. It's not clear how the dog, a 1- to 2-year-old female, died, according to the Register Citizen in Litchfield County.
The pit bull had puncture wounds on its shoulder and officials are looking into whether it was used in dogfighting rings. A necropsy is being conducted at the University of Connecticut.
The resident who found the bag called police about 12:30 p.m. Saturday. Officers took pictures of the bag in the tree and left it with the resident, who buried the dog with the bag and its other contents in his yard, Assistant Animal Control Officer Linda Schaff said.
After being called about the incident, Schaff went to pick up the dog Sunday, which is when the resident disinterred the animal and turned it over to her.
Anyone with information on the dog is asked to call the shelter at 203-389-5991.

NFL offers Vick a second chance
Michael Vick, after serving 18 months for operating a dogfighting ring, was conditionally reinstated to the NFL today.
Vick can immediately take part in preseason practices, workouts and meetings and can play in the final two preseason games — if he can find a team that will sign him.
A number of teams have already said they would not.
Once the season begins, Vick may participate in all team activities except games, but NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said he would consider Vick for full reinstatement by Week 6 of the season, at the latest, according to ESPN.
Goodell suspended Vick indefinitely in August 2007 after the former Atlanta Falcons quarterback admitted bankrolling a dogfighting operation on his property in Virginia. At the time, Goodell said Vick must show remorse before he would consider reinstating him.
"I accept that you are sincere when you say that you want to, and will, turn your life around, and that you intend to be a positive role model for others," Goodell said in his letter to Vick. "I am prepared to offer you that opportunity. Whether you succeed is entirely in your hands."
"Needless to say, your margin for error is extremely limited," the letter said. "I urge you to take full advantage of the resources available to support you and to dedicate yourself to rebuilding your life and your career. If you do this, the NFL will support you."
"I do recognize that some will never forgive him for what he did," Goodell said.
Vick, once the highest-paid player in the league, said he was grateful for a second chance.
Vick pleaded guilty after his three co-defendants had already done so. They told of how Vick participated in the killing of dogs that didn't perform well in test fights by shooting, hanging, drowning or slamming them to the ground.
Vick's appearances at federal court in Richmond, Va., prompted large groups of protesters to gather outside. Many were with PETA and held signs depicting photographs of pit bulls ravaged in dogfights. Some supporters showed up as well, some wearing his No. 7 jersey.

Vick hung and drowned dogs, report says
Suspended Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick used family pets as "bait dogs" to train his pit bulls, and he took part in hanging three fighting dogs who did not perform well, according to a U.S. Department of Agriculture report.
The 17-page report, released Friday, provided new details on Vick's participation in Bad Newz Kennels — including the revelation that pet dogs were used for training purposes, according to an ESPN report.
"Vick, (Purnell) Peace and (Quanis) Phillips thought it was funny to watch the pit bull dogs belonging to Bad Newz Kennels injure or kill the other dogs," the report by the USDA's inspector general-investigations division says.
Vick is serving a 23-month sentence in a minimum-security federal prison camp in Leavenworth, Kan., on a conspiracy charge relating to the interstate dogfighting operation he helped run on a property he owned in Surry County, Va. He is scheduled to be released on July 20, 2009.
He still faces two state charges — one count of torturing and killing dogs and one count of promoting dogfighting. Each carries a five-year maximum prison term. He is expected to plead guilty to those at a hearing Tuesday in Surry County Circuit Court and, under the terms of his plea agreement, and will receive a three-year suspended prison term and a $2,500 fine (which would be suspended if he pays court costs and maintains good behavior for four years).
By resolving the pending state charges, Vick would qualify to be moved to a halfway house to serve out the remainder of his sentence. Read more »

The recent development of tissue culture methods for human cells and improved techniques for the determination of the number and morphology of mammalian chromosomes have made possible the accumulation, within a period of a few years, of a large amount of data which have established the normal diploid number of chromosomes in human somatic cells as 46. This number comprises 22 pairs of autosomes and two sex chromosomes (XX in the female, XY in the male). In addition, the heredity

This is a rant, of the grumpy-old-man variety. Two weeks ago I was staying at my parents' apartment because my home in New Jersey was without power, thanks to Hurricane Sandy. "Oh, Sonny, I'm glad you're here," my mother told me when I arrived. "I need you to help me set up the DVD player." I love my mom to bits and pieces, but sometimes it's like a bad sitcom with her: The tech writer son tries to help his mother (who still refers to the refrigerator as the "icebox," by the way) do something he thinks is the easiest thing in the world but to her is akin to landing the Mars Rover.
