1. Josh Johnson will make fewer starts than Johan Santana
Johnson made 31 starts this season, which is his highest total since 2009. The league leader made 34 starts and was not named Johan Santana, though if you anagram the letters in "Bruce Chen"… you get Bee Crunch, which isn't going to help my cause here. Santana, as it turns out, made just 21 starts and succomed to lower back inflammation that ended his season. His shoulder is fine, which has to be a relief to the Mets, but it does me no good.
Verdict: Swing and a Miss
2. Bryan LaHair will hit 25 or more Home Runs
Oh this one looked good for many months, as LaHair had 13 home runs on July 1, but he was done in by Anthony Rizzo's call up that cost him playing time. Well, ok, Rizzo's call up and the fact that LaHair hit .194/.275/.242 in July and a robust .202/.269/.303 in the second half. Even though Wrigley is supposed to play more as a hitter's park in the summer, LaHair managed just three home runs after July 1. He also stole three bases, and while having him steal the same number of bases as home runs hit would have been great in the second half, it's really just galling at this point.
Verdict: A high fly ball, it's going back…and is caught by the left fielder about 5 steps short of the warning track.
3. Michael Cuddyer will set a career high in OPS
I thought this one was going to be a gimmie. Cuddyer was coming off a solid year in Minnesota, and was moving from one of the more suppressive parks in baseball to one of the most hitter friendly parks. While his OPS did improve from his 2011 mark of .805, I thought I'd get a little more bang for my buck than .806. Cuddyer's 2009 season was largely overshadowed by Joe Mauer's MVP campaign and his 2006 season — his actual career best year with an .867 OPS — was behind another excellent year from Mauer and an "MVP-caliber" year from Justin Morneau, but both seasons were better than this one. His right oblique failed him, necessitating two separate DL stints and ending his season in mid-August, just like Santana. The former Twins on this list did me no favors.
Verdict: Cuddyer's OPS was high, but it wasn't "Rocky Mountain High"
4. J.J. Hardy will hit more than 30 HR
Maybe the hippies were right: Don't trust anyone over 30. Yes, this is Hardy's age-29 season, but he turned 30 in August so it counts. Hardy hit 30 last season even though he only played in 129 games, so it seemed perfectly reasonable to me to assume a) that he'd play more games than that this season and b) that he'd hit home runs at a similar enough pace to get to 30 or 31 in the extra games he would play. The first assumption was correct, Hardy played in an extra 29 games this season, and his HR/FB rate stayed high enough to give him a good shot at 30, but his flyball rate dropped under 40 percent and that gave him no shot at the 30 home run mark.
Verdict: Better than LaHair, still not good
5. Denard Span will hit at least .280 and steal at least 15 bases
In what seems likely to be his last season as a Twin, Span still battled some injuries, but stayed healthy enough to steal 17 bases, while hitting a sparkling… .283, good enough for my first correct prediction! Span's solid, if unspectacular, production from the leadoff spot makes him an underutilized fantasy option, but he draws a goodly portion of his value from his defense and incredibly team-friendly contract. Going forward he's more likely to be a player you want on the team you root for and not so much on your fantasy team
Verdict: Little room to spare, but correct
6. Yu Darvish will have a strong year — sub 4.00 ERA, sub 1.25 WHIP — but see a huge home/road split
So, the spirit of this prediction was to say that Darvish would be good, but not really Cy Young-good the way people were talking about him being at the time. Many of the comments were rather pointed in that this was a total freebie and pathetically obvious. Well, we were all wrong. Darvish barely beat the ERA mark with a 3.90 and in fact missed the WHIP barrier at 1.28. He was worse at home, but only by about 60 points of opponents' OPS and actually had a higher ERA on the road. So it is, on the balance, a miss.
Verdict: Right in spirit, wrong in actuality.
7. Bryce Harper will hit at least 10 home runs in the majors this year
The concern here was never Harper's power, that's been well attested by myriad sources, but was really a question of when the Nationals would call him up. As it happened, Harper missed a 20-20 season by just a pair of stolen bases, which is impressive for a kid in his age-19 season. Next season's bold predictions for Harper will be sky high, but beware a sophomore slump.
Verdict: When Harper came up before midseason, this one was a given
8. Alfonso Soriano Will be traded before August 1
I'm still surprised this one didn't happen to be frank. The Cubs are rebuilding, Soriano had a season that actually made him look like an asset worth acquiring, and I thought a deal would get done at some point. As it is, Soriano remains a Cub and the longer that stays the case, the more I think he'll end up playing out his whole deal on the North Side. Which, of course, means he'll be gone before Christmas.
Verdict: No hemming or hawing here, Soriano still plays where the ivy grows.
9. The Pittsburgh Pirates won't break .500 this season
They looked good last season and then faded. They were tied for the lead in the NL Central as late as July 18 and were only 2.5 games behind the Reds on August 9. By September 19, the Pittsburgh was standing eye-to-eye with the .500 mark before the Pirates were dragged down to Davy Jones' locker. There's reason to be optimistic about the future in Pittsburgh, but this season was nothing short of a brutal tease followed by a punch to the gut.
Verdict: After the way things started, I take no joy in ending up correct on this one
10. The new, extra Wild Card will bring excitement to the end of the season
There's a lot I dislike about the new wild card and the 2-3 division series format, but this season was about as good an advertisement as Bud Selig could have hoped for. Teams that otherwise would have been done early were still in the hunt in late September, many series were meaningful up to the very last game of the season, and every team that made it in had a legitimate claim on being in the postseason. There's a lot to talk about going forward, but it's tough for anyone to claim that the extra spot and the extra races didn't make things more exciting.
Verdict: You win this round, Commissioner!

Jay Z's Alleged "Mistress" Files Lawsuit
Photo: Splash News
We all know what a side chick is. But recently, rumors were flying around about Jay Z having one and cheating on Beyonce. Reality TV star (BRAVO's Princesses:Long Island), Casey Cohen, is in the process of clearing her name as Jay Z's supposed side chick or "mistress," according to The YBF. After that whole elevator brawl between Solange and Jay Z, people have been speculating the tension started over news of Jay cheating and since then, many media outlets have been naming Casey as the woman he's been having an affair with. But she denies everything and is now filing lawsuits with her lawyer against those media outlets that published the alleged affair. She's even demanding a public apology from the media outlets for not only herself but Jay and Bey. Now let's be honest, if she was his side chick, I'd think she'd be milking this thing, or the couple for money. Wait, is that what's really happening? Let me stop before she decides to sue me, too.

BeschreibungSuitable for senior undergraduates and beginning graduate students in mathematics, this book is an introduction to algebraic number theory at an elementary level. Prerequisites are kept to a minimum, and numerous examples illustrating the material occur throughout the text. References to suggested readings and to the biographies of mathematicians who have contributed to the development of algebraic number theory are provided at the end of each chapter. Other features include over 320 exercises, an extensive index, and helpful location guides to theorems in the text.
InhaltsverzeichnisIntroduction; 1. Integral domains; 2. Euclidean domains; 3. Noetherian domains; 4. Elements integral over a domain; 5. Algebraic extensions of a field; 6. Algebraic number fields; 7. Integral bases; 8. Dedekind domains; 9. Norms of ideals; 10. Decomposing primes in a number field; 11. Units in real quadratic fields; 12. The ideal class group; 13. Dirichlet's unit theorem; 14. Applications to diophantine equations.
Pressestimmen'The overall presentation makes the book suitable for a course for advanced undergraduate students.' Zentralblatt MATH 'Learning algebraic number theory is about the least abstract way to learn about important aspects of commutative ring theory, as well as being beautiful in its own right too. This text is ideally suited to the learner of both of these, with clear writing, a plentiful supply of examples and exercises, and a good range of 'suggested reading'. ... I look forward to reading and learning from this book in greater detail. The features which make it attractive are worth listing: the intrinsic fascination of the results; the balance between clearn theory and dirty calculation (the latter essential for developing familiarity with the local terrain, the former for appreciating an arial view of the whole route); the balance between calculation dependent upon the depth of theory and those details dependent on simple algebraic and trigonometric identities and results from elementary number theory; a very full quota of exercises and further reading.' The Mathematical Gazette 'This is a very good textbook on algebraic number theory for beginners. ... Its most appealing feature is the very large number of examples it contains. Their abundance provides a lot of hands-on experience and has the power to transform the reader's understanding of basic notions into active knowledge.' Monatshefte fur Mathematik 'This book provides a nice introduction to classical parts of algebraic number theory... The text is written in a lively style and can be read without any prerequisites. Therefore the book is very suitable for graduate students starting mathematics courses or mathematicians interested in introductory reading in algebraic number theory. The book presents a welcome addition to the existing literature.' EMS Newsletter

"Jordan! Jordan, this way." A child of about eight clambered over a pile of rocks and pointed down into a valley. At one end of the valley was a tall waterfall jutting out from craggy rock. A long windy river travelled down the whole valley, flanked by sharp rock and course shrubbery. The river was loud and choppy near the waterfall, but lazy and picturesque at the far end where the children now stood.
Looking out towards the waterfall were five children. The youngest was a small boy of eight being held back from falling by an older girl with one hand holding tightly onto his belt. The two older boys were holding a stretcher carrying a frail girl who smiled weakly at the sight. The two boys kept giving the injured girl looks of panic, even more so when they saw the sharp descent into the valley.
"That's the way isn't it Jordan? Through the waterfall right? That's what you said wasn't it?" The youngest boy jumped and pointed in excitement. He slipped and was quickly pulled back by the girl.
"Don't do that!" She scolded before pulling him into a hug.
"I'm sorry Maxie." The child buried his head in her blonde wavy hair obviously shaken by his near-miss His dark curly hair and dark complexion showed he wasn't related to the fair blonde girl but the way she held him also showed they were as close as family could get.
Once recovered he ran and took the sick girl's hand.
"It's the waterfall Jordan. You are right." Jordan smiled weakly and nodded.
"Yes my little monkey. It's the waterfall." He giggled in delight, "But Booby, you must be more careful. Don't scare us like that. Not when we are so close." She gingerly patted his head and regretted it. She hugged her ribcage revealing the injury that had made her immobile.
"Jordan are you okay." The boys set her down and the smaller one knealy by her side.
"Is it spreading?" He began to pull at the bandages around her chest but she wiggled away from him only causing herself more pain. The boy panicked reaching for her.
"I'm fine you old fusspot. I just moved too fast. I'll be fine." The boy still looked doubtful so she took his face in her hands.
"Emmett. I promise you I'm fine. Just a little tender still." he nodded and began to figure a way down.
"How's it looking Em? Will we be able to get down? Jordan asked.
"I don't know boss. It's steep. I don't think the rope will be much help. We should just go without. Maybe if Karl carried you. Piggyback or something. Strap the stretcher onto Maxie, and I'll carry Bobby and the same way Carlos carries you." her shrugged. It wasn't his best idea. Emmett was filled with ideas, some smart, some not so smart.
"We'll do it then." She sat up very slowly.
"It'll be dangerous," He warned
"It's the only way." Jordan Stretched out her arms and Carlos crouched down to pick her up. She was so slight Carlos had no difficulty picking her up as she clung to him.
Wordlessly Emmett strapped the stretcher to Maxie and let Bobby climb onto his back.
"I'll go first." Maxie got onto her stomach and backwards crawled to the edge. She worked herself slowly over the edge and felt for a footing.
"Be careful Maxie." Bobby chirped from over Emmett's shpulder.
"Don't worry Bub. I'll see you soon." She gave him a big smile and he poked his tongue out in return.
With one hand still resting on the cliff top she shouted out to them.
"There are some footholds. It should be okay. I'm gonna keep going. I'll give you all a shout when I'm down."
For ten tense minutes they waited. They listened to the small crumble of rocks and faint cursing at difficult patches. Bobby giggled whenever she swore.
"I'm down!" She shouted up to them as her voice echoed through the valley. The sound of her voice was a relief to the other four children.
"I can see the foothold real good from here. Carlos and Jordan should go next. It'll be hardest for them.
Silently Carlos followed Maxie's movements as he wiggled over the edge. Jordan kept her hands on his shoulders. Her knuckles were going white as she held tight and her head was pressed to his back.
"See you soon Emmett." Jordan saluted as they disappeared over the edge.
With Maxie's help the trip down for the pair was easier than her own trip had been. She pointed out the best footholds and any jutting rock that could have hit Jordan.
"A little bit to your left Carlos. There is a big ledge. Yeah that's right. It's easy going for a bit now."
Once they landed safely and Jordan was tucked up in the stretcher the boys lowered down the packs then went down themselves.
Once everyone was down they surveyed their surroundings. They were on the left side of the river and could see a thin path leading up towards the waterfall; their ultimate goal.
"The journey won't be too far. A day at most." Emmett tried to judge the distance.
"We should rest here then. There's no telling if there will be another spot we can rest if it gets dark. I know it's early but not early enough." The children all listened to Jordan and nodded. They scattered and began to collect things for camp. Maxie and Bobby collected firewood. Carlos went to the river and filled all their bottles after testing it first with one of the few pieces of technology the children had. Emmett constructed a make-shift cover from the blankets and extendable poles they always carried with them. While it didn't look like rain, the sun in some places was scorching and the gentle skinned ones burned easily. Too easily to live in this part of the world. Luckily it had been overcast for the last few days but they weren't going to take any chances. Not when they were so close.
When Carlos came back with water Emmett gently drip fed the cool liquid into Jordan's mouth like she was a new born baby. There was a look of protest on Jorand's face who hated getting treated like a baby but there was little she could do about it.
"Easy now Jordan. One more sip. There you go." He coaxed more water down her throat.
Maxie and Bobby quickly built up a campfire. Or rather Maxie built the fire and Bobby passed her sticks. He was too little to handle fire. It crackled and popped as the dry wood caught fire. Bobby handed another stick to Maxie, who took one look at it and tutted.
"Bobby we can't use this piece. Tell me why." To prove her point she snapped it in half revealing a sappy inside.
"It's still green Maxie. I'm sorry." He poked one sappy end."
"And why is that a problem?" Maxie continued to question him, teach him, make him learn from his mistakes.
"It would make smoke and give away our location. We are trying to stay hidden. It would defeat the point of coming here." Bobby repeated this is bored voice. He had been forced to learn that over and over again.
"Good boy." Maxie ruffled his hair and gave him a bear hug. He tried to fight it but he gave up.
"Everything's alright squirt."
"I know that!" he mumbled and grumbled before pulling out of the hug.
With a fire going, and water boiling everyone gathered around Jordan who was propped up against a tree. She exchanged smiles with them, and Bobby blew her slobbery air kisses. She took hands with Carlos and Bobby who were closest to her, and they all grabbed each other hands.
"We are so close. I can almost taste it." Everyone nodded and listened.
"We have been tricked, lied to, battered, injured and changed. But none of that is going to stop us. We all heard Emmett. One more day. Just one more day." She hissed in pain as she turned onto her side. Emmett rushed to her side and lowered her back onto the mat.
"I've told you not to move a hundred times. You'll only hurt yourself more and you are not dying. Not when we are so close." He scolded her, but only half-heartedly.
"I wasn't planning on it Em." She teased but lay skill at his command.
"We can rest today. Up early tomorrow and be at Safety by nightfall." Her promises put a smile on everyone's faces, except for Emmett. He just regarded Jordan with worry.
Once everyone had departed he crouched low to Jordan.
"It's not getting better. I think it's spreading, isn't it?" He tried to peak at her chest under the bandages but she swatted him away.
"Shoo. A girl has to have some privacy."
You have under clothes on." He complained but a blush still spread on his cheeks.
"We can get the doctors at Safety to look at it. You don't know how to fix it, but they might."
"Pfft. I know more than any doctor." His voice went softer. "It's the might I'm worried about." He gave her one more look before going to help Maxie with lunch. Like most of their food, it was soup mix with water and dried vegetables. Simmered for 20 minutes and then they were all served thick soup, the consistency of porridge.
"Blah!" Bobby set his bowl down in a huff.
"It's getting worse everyday. What happened to all the nice soup?" He whined to Maxie who slapped the back of his head.
"Stop complaining. We ate all the good food first. Now alls that left is the bland yuck food. We explained that weeks ago." She forced the bowl back into his hand.
"Eat, or you will go hungry." She ordered before looking down at her own plate in disgusted.
"One more day. Just one more day." She mumbled to herself before gulping down the lumpy mixture.

Chapter 8
The tournament ended with a sad twist, one of Winry's friends died and Harry claimed that he-who-must-not-be-named was back.
A lot had happened that year and as Edward sat on the train with his fiancé, he was recollecting it all.
Roy kissed Edward's cheek. "Time to go."
Edward felt the train pull into the station.
They exited the train and found their guardians.
Roy held Edward's hand. "Write me every day, okay?"
"Of course. Just try to visit once in a while."
They smiled at each other and parted ways, knowing that after next year they will never have to part again.
A/N: Thank you for continuing this long. I have decided that there will be two more parts making this fanfiction 4 parts long. The next part will be part three. Look for it soon. Thank you for reading and please don't forget to review. Thank you!

Lazarus: I have to goMature
As much as I don't want to be at work, right now, I can't really complain about my job. I get to do something I love, for a decent wage, and with - usually - decent hours.
But right now, I need to be watching Brody.
Or at the very least, stopping Fate being bitten by too many vampires. I'm watching him, but obviously there isn't much I can do from behind a piano without giving myself, Fate and the vampires away.
When I'm done with work, I go to find Fate outside being mauled by yet another vampire. Gritting my teeth a little, I wait until they're done so I can help Fate home. Because of course the idiot's let so many bite him that he's lost too much blood to even be able to walk properly. Did I mention he's worryingly pale? Yeah, not impressed. Can't say I've ever seen the attraction of being bitten, but there must be something about it that's enjoyable, right?
"I should get money for this," he slurs. I don't say anything, more interested in not falling over because of him clinging to me. "I mean, I've been hanging around there, pretty much giving them my blood, and what? I don't even get a thanks."
"That's because most vampires are still assholes," I grumble. And to those vampires, Fate, you're doing what every good dog should do.
"You'd say thanks, wouldn't you?" he asks, practically molesting my face.
"If I was a vampire," I grunt. He hums and giggles as I open the door. He keeps giggling all the way to his room, where he puts his hand on my face again as I try to get him off.
"Y'know, you're kinda cute," he slurs again. Oh, for fuck's sake, Fate. Don't even go there. He giggles as my face pulls into a slight scowl, and prods my nose.
"I have to go make sure Brody's okay, Fate."
"Five more minutes."
"No, Fate," I say firmly, trying to leave, but he grabs my wrist with a 'Pwease'. I roll my eyes, trying to shake him off, but he's already pulling me onto the bed. "Fate," I say in a warning tone. He mimics me in a sarcastic voice, and I let out a small growl, but he just giggles at it. I pry his hand off my wrist and just as I'm about to get up, his arms tangle around my waist and he snuggles into me. I dislodge him again and he lets out a whine.
"Blondieeee." I give a frustrated sigh ignoring the puppy eyes. "C'mere."
"I need to go see Brody." He holds an arm out and I look at it.
"C'mere." I've got to admit, this is a lot more tempting than going and sitting in a tree for a few hours, watching an old friend doing something he was never meant to do. But I shake my head, making him whine again. I don't say anything and he rolls onto the floor, giggling. "Blondieeeee," he attaches himself to my ankle, making me fall over as I try to get free. He giggles some more, "Blondieeee?"
I half sit up, rubbing the back of my head. "Blondie," he says, prodding me.
"There, you've had your five minutes - I need to go now," I grumble, attempting to stand up. Fate might as well be an octopus for all the use my attempts are.
"Can I have a kiss?" I lean over and peck him on the lips, hoping he might let me go this time, but apparently not. "That wasn't a kiss, silly," he informs me, shaking his head. Fine. I kiss him properly, trying for what feels like the millionth time to get up, but he just pulls me back down for another kiss, pouting when - unsurprisingly - I don't kiss back.
"I have to go," I mutter.
"But you're cute," he whines.
"Maybe some other time, Fate," I mumble. He gives me a sad face and I sigh, pecking him on the lips again before finally getting out of there. I change quickly and head off to the breeding pits, wondering what I might have missed.

Mind Your Language
Parents have to make choices constantly. For instance, let's say you and your children are all super-intelligent and hyperverbal. You have one more child who's just like the rest of you -- except he's deaf. In your world, with your experiences, you might choose not to have him learn sign language. He'll learn to read lips and speak, and you'll have kept him from appearing "different." As he grows up, he's isolated from most of the deaf community. But you don't even know that's a thing until Billy brings home a young woman who's signed with her deaf parents since infancy and is now losing her own hearing.
This is just a taste of 2012's Drama Desk Award Winner Tribes, the next production at Phoenix Theatre's new Black Box. There's also Billy's funky mom, dad, and siblings. And romance, and an exploration of what we take for granted about human communication and the many forms it takes. We can't wait. Tribes opens at 8 p.m. Thursday, January 30, at 100 East McDowell Road. Tickets through Sunday, February 16, start at $30 at www.phoenixtheatre.com or 602-254-2151.
Thursdays-Saturdays, 8 p.m.; Saturdays, 3 p.m.; Sundays, 3 p.m. Starts: Jan. 30. Continues through Feb. 16, 2014

Imperial BusinessMature
"So what is this I hear of King Cadmill the Fourteenth's son running away?" the Hakian Emperor asked his herald commandingly. He didn't really have that much of a commanding tone; with the Hakian Emperor the command was implied. The herald rushed into the Imperial Throne Room and knelt reverently before the Emperor before speaking.
"From what I've heard from our diplomat, he ran away after the goddess Itavera proclaimed that he would one day lick someone's boots."
"That had to hurt." The Emperor laughed, his regal chortle echoing off the impressive curves of the distant ceiling.
"Anyways, the next day he was gone. He left a note denouncing the gods and everything, real brutal stuff. And he took a good bit of coin, several ancient books from the Royal library, and the royal heirloom, Cadmill's Spear. The King's real upset. He's ordered a full sweep of the entire Kingdom and surrounding subsidiary regencies."
The Emperor stood from his throne. He never felt content while sitting on his throne; there was too much to do. "Send a letter of consolation to the King, and assure him that we will be keeping an eye out for his son. And send for General Hostilius, tell him to meet me in the war-room. The Beyond isn't going to colonize itself."
"Right away, your Highness."

A strange, orange-coloured goo that appeared on the shores of a remote Alaskan village last week has been identified as millions of microscopic eggs.
Scientists from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said the fat-filled eggs are probably embryos produced by some kind of crustacean. However, mystery still surrounds the exact species of the eggs, and scientists say they may never know what caused so many to wash up on the shores of lagoons, ponds and puddles in the hamlet of Kivalina, an Inupiat Eskimo community at the tip of a barrier reef on Alaska's north-west coast.
"We'll probably find some clues, but we'll likely never have a definitive answer," Julie Speegle of the NOAA said. She dismissed speculation that the phenomenon, which occurred soon after rain showers, was a result of climate change. Although the goo has now disappeared, many of the village's 347 residents continue to worry about its long-term effects because officials have been unable to confirm that the eggs are not toxic.

Piano/Guitar/Trumpet/Bass/Violin/Drums-Vocal SOLO or ENSEMBLES. Member of Better Business Bureau; Indiana Wedding Network; Recipient of Rising Star Award by Gigmasters in Jazz Trio category; Voted to A-List of Indy's Top Businesses,top 3 of Best Music.
First dance song?
"At Last" with a soulful trumpet. Very romantic
How did your wedding musicians keep the party going?
They played background music during dinner very tastefully and not too loud. Ballads and slower jazz standards. Then after dinner, they played all the event songs and swing music for dancing and had a repertoire from 1900's to current -- so the older people weren't bored. They accommodated everyone. Very talented musicians and obviously knew alot about weddings.
DJ or Band interaction with the wedding guests? Numbers exchanged?
We didn't want a Rock party and a lot of night club stuff. We wanted a classy affair and wanted the older relatives to stay and enjoy it. That's exactly what they gave us.
Favorite wedding reception song & dance?
We liked the Swing music: Gershwin and Big Band music. This was just perfect!
First dance song?
Ben Folds - The Luckiest, played at our reception by another DJ. Phyllis and Friends played at our ceremony only.
DJ or Band interaction with the wedding guests? Numbers exchanged?
Phyllis and Friends played at our ceremony only. They did a beautiful job and we received nothing but compliments on how beautiful the music was. Rachel (my contact) was easy to get a hold of, answered any questions I had promptly, and was just wonderful. I'm so glad we had them at our ceremony.

UNO beat Illinois back in 1975, 4-2, although the Mavs did travel out to Champaign to scrimmage the Illini this past fall. The meetings with Western Michigan will be the first. Last Time Out The Mavericks went 2-1 at the weather-shortened Colorado State Classic in Fort Collins, Colo., last weekend. The Mavs opened with an 8-2 loss to Southern Utah, but responded with an 8-0 (6 inn.) win over Dayton and a 4-0 win over host Colorado State to cap the tournament with the best record among the four teams. Up Next UNO's home opener is set for Tuesday, March 18 against Wichita State at 5 p.m. at Westside Field at Westbrook. The Mavs are also set to begin Summit League play at home next week on March 21-22 against South Dakota.Maverick Notes• Shortstop Tonya Peterson will be out for a few weeks with a fractured bone in her face after a grounder bounced up and struck her near the eye against Colorado State on March 9.• Dana Elsasser picked up her second Summit League Pitcher of the Week honor this season after 13.0 shutout innings last weekend to earn both Maverick wins. Opponents hit just .114 against her. Elsasser pitched a one-hitter in the win over Dayton and allowed just four hits to Colorado State on Sunday. She struck out 11 batters on the weekend and is now 11-3 this season with a 1.47 ERA. Her two shutouts moved her to 30 for her career, tied for fourth in school history.• Amber Lutmer hit .429 with a homer, RBI, four runs scored and five walks last weekend. Her home run against Dayton was the 44th of her career, tying Leslie Svoboda for UNO's career home runs record. Lutmer is hitting .375 and now has 10 home runs and 31 RBI this season to lead the Summit League.• Allie Mathewson and Sydney Hames each hit .364 over the three games last weekend. Mathewson had a home run, four runs scored and three RBI and continues to lead the team at the plate with a .403 batting average. Hames continued her strong sophomore season and is now hitting .325 to rank third on the team after hitting .256 last year as a freshman.• Sophomore catcher Campbell Ditto hits .303 with five home runs, five doubles and 15 RBI. She has scored 20 runs this season, second on the team behind only Mathewson's 21. • Junior Mara Eeman has four home runs and 11 RBI already this season, surpassing her sophomore totals of one homer and nine RBI.• The Mavs lead all Summit League teams in numerous categories, including 27 home runs, 122 runs, 83 walks drawn and a .470 slugging percentage. The Mavs' pitching staff has a 3.03 ERA to rank second in the league. Elsasser Nabs Second Summit League Pitching Honor Senior pitcher Dana Elsasser picked up her second Summit League Pitcher of the Week Award this season, the conference office announced on March 10. Elsasser has now earned 10 career weekly pitching honors and six since joining the Summit League. Elsasser pitched 13.0 shutout innings and picked up two wins to lift the Mavericks to a 2-1 weekend at the weather-shortened Colorado State Classic. Elsasser pitched a one-hitter in an 8-0 (6 inn.) win over Dayton on Saturday. She struck out seven batters. Elsasser pitched 4.1 no-hit innings before Dayton's first and only hit of the game. On Sunday, Elsasser was dominant against host Colorado State, throwing all 7.0 innings with four hits and four strikeouts to help the Mavs win 4-0 and finish with the best record at the tournament at 2-1. On the weekend, opponents hit just .114 against Elsasser. Her 13 scoreless innings dropped her ERA to 1.47 this season and she is now 11-3 overall, the most wins by a Summit League pitcher. Elsasser also earned Co-Pitcher of the Week on Feb. 24 after a 1.08 ERA in 26.0 innings pitched at the UTSA Mid-Major Classic. Standout Seniors UNO's senior class is small in numbers, but is critical to the Mavs' success. Pitcher Dana Elsasser and first baseman Amber Lutmer are both in their final seasons at UNO, and both will wind up among the greatest Mavericks of all-time. Elsasser, the Mavericks' ace the past two seasons, was arguably the most dominant pitcher in the Summit League as a junior with a league-best 0.62 ERA in conference games. Elsasser's career 1.23 ERA ranks sixth-best in school history, and her .196 opponent batting average is second-best. Her 55 career wins rank eighth in school history and her 30 shutouts are tied for fourth. Lutmer has proven to be one of the top power hitters in UNO history, and she has numerous career offensive records in her sights. She has 44 career homers and needs one to break Leslie Svoboda's school record of 44. Lutmer has 163 career RBI to rank second and needs 30 to break Svoboda's mark of 192. Lutmer holds the school record for walks in a career (95).

Especially his offensive players.
That's why he was the best coach ever.
And: Wait! I remember seeing Gretz live, at the coliseum, hanging out at the RED LINE waiting for the deadly stretch pass, with the rest of his team in his own end.
While the Oil were killing a penalty.
And then I would watch the opposing D back out of the O zone, on the PP, every time, worrying about Gretz at the red line. 'Oh well, we'll score later, better worry about Gretz for now.' Oh. We lost. Oh well.
Man, Gretz should have been more responsible defensively.
Hockey is about scoring goals, it's about offense, and out skating your opponent. Always has been, always will be. Pure and simple. D is for weak teams without scorers. We just forgot that the last 20 years.
And if you're tempted, don't bring up 70's Habs. That was Dryden and Serge Savard on D, and 18 other guys who played all out offense, and hitting in the O zone, all the time, including Gainey.
You couldn't be more wrong about both Yzerman and Bowman. Bowman is the creator of the left wing lock which is the initial form of the neutral zone trap. He demands that his centers are defensively strong which is what he did with both Lemaire and Yzerman.
It is nothing short of laughable when you say that Bowman just asked Yzerman to backcheck once in a while. Find me that quote..........lol
If you understand the tactical aspect of the game and Bowman's philosophy you would know that systems don't call for "once in a while" efforts. Systems require adherence and consistency......otherwise the system doesn't work. Pierre Larouche is an example of a player who didn't want to backcheck and he found himself consistently benched and eventually traded from Bowman's team. So much for him letting his skilled players play as Larouche had more skill on that team than anyone not named Lafleur, and even that is debatable.
As for the comment about Beliveau.............he was a great two way center, I am not sure what weak point you were trying to make. It is possible to put up big point totals while playing a complete game as players like Crosby, Francis, Datsyuk, Zetterberg and Gilmour can attest to. It is crucial that your best offensive players are your best players in all three zones if you want win championships. If you don't believe me just ask Bowman and Yzerman as they have proven as much.

What strange things did we see at Super Bowl XLV Media Day?
Super Bowl Media Day -- as you've clearly seen -- is a little strange. Maybe the point was to lure in the masses, and it did that. And by masses, I mean absolutely anyone with a media pass who could walk onto the floor. It's supposed to be the biggest circus of a media event all year, and it lived up to its billing.
Players were on their best behavior. The media played nice with Ben Roethlisberger, while his counterpart Aaron Rodgers had the right idea.
"I'm just trying to get through the hour without saying anything stupid," he said.
You wanted oddball questions thrown at waiting players by seductive faux female reporters? Cool. We got you.
From that entertainment reporter running her hand through Packers LB Clay Matthews' hair (left) to Sports Illustrated cover girl Brooklyn Decker hitting Steelers safety Ryan Clark with a pop culture quiz that required him to name all the Kardashian sisters (he did) to a stick-thin girl with a Southern twang asking Pittsburgh lineman Max Starks how he got so big -- it was absurd.
Poor legitimate female reporters... Tough day for those really trying to work.
Oh, and before I forget, Matthews noted that if he could hang out with one cast member from the Jersey Shore, it would be The Situation. "All he wants to do is get chicks and have a good time. You can't fault a guy for that."
It was also a tough time to be a serious journalist from outside the country. The dude dressed in the mariachi outfit wasn't exactly the bastion of journalist integrity. Neither was former Jets locker room presence Ines Sainz, who teamed with Bengals WR Chad Ochocinco to be the most strangely paired duo. Oh, and if you were wondering, it doesn't seem anyone harassed Sainz, so that was a bonus.
But while players spent most of the time laughing at the foreign journalists who kept asking them to say Spanish or Japanese words, I couldn't help but feel for the foreign reporters there to do real work. Must've made them cringe.
Of course, the dude with the high voice from the Jay Leno Show was here, arguing with other reporters over who got to ask the questions and the using his time to ask guys like Matthews, "What's your favorite smell?" Really.
There were some outfits that made me shake my head, from the guy dressed like Robin from Batman & Robin to woman who simply wore a sports bra and leggings, along with her media pass. I'm sure there were some real questions in there. I tried to ask a few.
But clearly, this wasn't really a day for football... Alas, maybe tomorrow will be.

An arilbred introduced in 1969 by Bill Hawkinson. Word of Mr. Hawkinson's
death was passed along to members of ASI this week. He was a founding
member of the Aril Society International when it begain in 1958. This is
the only cultivar of his that I've grown. I don't think he introduced many.
If you like a red iris, though, this one is worth growing. Seemed an
appropriate time to post the photo. There are probably better ones posted
in the archives.

Nvidia Physx System Software 8.07.18 improves support
Expreview.com reports that Nvidia developed a new version of the Physx Software that is said to improve the support for Phsyx in games and the number of supported graphics chips is increased.
The driver with the serial number 8.07.18 is said to deliver some extra support for the Physx Engine 2.8.1 and also to run on graphics cards with a GT200, G92 or G96 chip. Therefore cards based on the G94 should officially not be supported. But according to Expreview it is possible to activate Physx on a Geforce 9600 GT and a Geforce 8600 GT.
You can download the driver at Expreview.com. According to our latest information it hasn't been officially released by Nvidia, yet. The official WHQL 8.06.12 can be downloaded from our servers by registered users.

Lee's Disease - Part 1Mature
Blue walked into the Cellar with Dwim, Hikur and Stroth in tow. The place was packed. They took a few minutes to get drinks and sit down and then Blue stood up and motioned for everyone to quiet down. Once this had happened he stood up on a chair. "Alright, you're going to be disappointed because I don't have a whole lot of information to give you now, but you're all here and we're going to get certain things straightened out. First of all let's talk about upcoming missions. I can tell you with certainty that we're going to be retrieving artifacts."
The crowd mumbled.
"That, I think everyone knew. I can't tell you why exactly yet, because I don't even know. I'm working on finding out. I know that the artifacts are powerful and that we're trying to collect them at least in part to stop the wrong people from using them. I'm sorry but, for now that's all I've got."
The crowd groaned as Blue got off the chair.
"It's not like we have much more to give them." Said Hikur. "I hope you find out more soon, I myself am getting fed up."
"Agreed." Dwim said, taking a swig of his drink.
Blue shook his head. "Well, I'm getting some sleep. I'm sure I'll have an assignment coming down the pipe soon. I'll see you guys later."
Blue got up and left the Cellar, he got to the elevator and hit the button for his floor. On the way up the elevator stopped. Lee, Gaedien, Icensun and Ace walked in. There was an exchange of nods, but all remained silent. The elevator continued upward. Blue looked around, all four were kitted up and armed to the teeth. "Going for a nice stroll in the park are we?"
"Going hunting." Said Ace, winking.
"I'm sure." Blue said.
Gaedien sighed in impatience as the elevator continued trudging upward.
"So." Lee said, trying to break the silence.
"So?" Blue answered.
"Heard you were in a gunfight yesterday."
"Yeah, bunch of huge bats."
Ace tried not to laugh. "Huge bats?"
Icensun started. "I heard Grey was sick."
"Yeah, he can eat roadkill without wincing but magic just rolls his guts."
Lee smiled. "He won't live that one up for a while."
"I doubt anyone will bug him about it while he's armed."
Lee agreed. "Probably not."
The elevator stopped at Blue's level. "Alright guys, have fun."
"We will." Gaedien said, waving him off.
The others nodded, and the doors shut. The elevator continued upward. Once at the rooftop it opened once again and the four walked out.
"Jesus, he's still there." Lee said, looking over to Fiend who had not moved from his perch at the edge of the building.
"Does he sleep?" Gaedien asked.
Ace shook his head. "Who knows."
Icensun walked to the drop ship and pulled open the right hand door. "Someone get the covers off the intake." He said.
Gaedien nodded and removed the covers as Ace and Lee got inside.
Icensun turned the power on and checked major systems before looking back to ensure no one was near the exhaust ports. "Starting her up." He said, pushing the ignition. The engines stuttered and then wound up to a high pitch as the craft came to life. "Alright, green across the board Lee. We're ready when you are."
Lee chambered a round in his weapon and looked back to the others from the co-pilots seat. "Ready your weapons."
Gaedien cocked a USP compact, although it was an ancillary weapon. He carried with him a black blade, a straight, double edged one handed sword which he used as his primary weapon alongside his magic.
Ace chambered a round in a G36 and also checked the glock on his side.
Lee looked to Icensun on his right. "Alright, let's go."
Icensun nodded and pushed forward against the throttle. The ship reacted immediately as the engines roared and the force of gravity multiplied for the occupants. Icensun brought them only a few feet above deck before dipping the nose forward to have the ship drop over the edge of the Tower and plummet alongside it. The engines whined as they came close to over speed. Suddenly he pulled up and all four were drawn back into their seats, their flesh being stretched down against the skeletal structure of their faces as the craft reached the deepest part of the arching flight path that brought them back above the city.
Lee couldn't help but smile at the burst of adrenaline that was coursing through his veins. "That was a rush." He said, looking back at the others who shown similar grins.
"Alright." Said Icensun over the headset. "We'll be there in about fifteen minutes."
The hour was early, and the faded disk of the moon could barely be seen through the clouded night sky. They had several hours before daylight, and would use them well.
Even at this time, the city was as alive as a mass of maggots in a rotting corpse. Every person moving below was without a doubt up to no good. Anyone with a sense of self preservation had long since barred the doors to their homes or hid well in the rubble of the refuse they lived in.
They arrived a few minutes earlier than Icensun had predicted. He manoeuvered the ship above a nearby rooftop and settled her down softly.
Lee turned to him. "Kill the engines."
"Right." Icensun obeyed and the engines coughed and went silent other than the winding down of the turbines. "Get out and I'll lock her up."
The other three got off the drop ship as Icensun punched in a few commands before turning off the main power and exiting himself. He looked back and waited for the commands to initiate. An automated system closed all of the doors and engaged the shudders on all windows. The two engines rotated upward and locked in the storage position. "There. I hope no one forgot anything inside." He said as he buckled the scabbard of his own sword to his chest so that the blade would rest on his back.
"Ready to go?" Lee asked. Everyone nodded and so Lee turned to the next building and peered through the darkness. "Icensun, are the doors locked?"
Icensun's eyes shut and a burst of heat irradiated from him. "I'm assuming…" He said with his eyes still closed. "… that you're referring to locks other than those you can dismantle with the shotgun mounted beneath Ace's rifle."
Ace smiled. "They don't call it a 'master key' for nothing."
"Yes Icensun, that's what I meant." Lee answered.
Icensun's eyes opened, and a blue hue rolled out of them like smoke from the windows of a burning building. "There's a barrier, but I can't tell much about it until we're closer." His eyes dimmed and returned to normal. "I'd suggest we avoid the alleys."
"I would agree." Lee said, "Gaedien, can you get us across the next few rooftops?"
"With pleasure." He said, his eyes billowing in turn. "Just jump, and I'll do the rest."
"Ugh.." Ace grunted. "I'm not sure I like this idea."
Gaedien turned to him. "I can throw you if you prefer."
"No, that's ok, I'll jump." He rotated the rifle beneath his right arm and on to his back, leaving the sling to support it there. "Here goes nothing." He said, running headlong toward the edge of the building where he jumped.
Gaedien shot his arm out and his face twisted with effort as his eyes erupted.
Ace's jump accelerated and he cleared the gap, landing hard on the other side and rolling to disperse the energy of the fall. He got back up, brushed himself off and motioned to Lee.
Icensun took in a deep breath and closed his eyes, pellets from the gravel that spanned the rooftop rose from the his feet as his spell powered up.
Gaedien turned to Lee, "Your turn, Icensun's got his own way across."
Lee nodded and broke into a sprint. He gritted his teeth as the acid built up in his thighs from the effort of his dash, and as he came to the edge of the building his guts twisted at the sight of the depth of the alley before him. He summoned the will to ignore his instincts and grunted them out of his mind. He was nearly yelling through clenched teeth by the time his feet passed the threshold and he became air born. Time seemed to slow as he soared between the two buildings, his body arched from the force with which he had launched himself across the precipice. He too landed hard, and was forced by the momentum to roll across the gravel. He impacted with such force that his roll brought him back to his feet . Lee strained to remain upright, sliding across the rooftop backward as he leaned against the direction of travel. As he came to a stop he fell forward, breaking his fall with one hand. "I think I agree with you on disliking this plan Ace."
Ace laughed. "Too late, we've got two more gaps to jump before we get to the target building."
Light warped between them and was sucked into a pin prick of darkness as the gravel shook at their feet. Lee and Ace stood back, for they could feel a force pulling them to the center of the phenomenon. Suddenly it reversed, pushing everything outward as Icensun burst forth from the center of the distortion.
"Show off." Ace said, dusting himself off again.
"If we could all teleport like that." Lee started. "This wouldn't take so long."
Gaedien landed next to the other three. His knee smashing with a crushing force to the gravel rooftop. The structure shook.
"It's a good thing this isn't the building we're sneaking into, because they'd all know we're here now." said Icensun. "You're loud."
"Whatever." Gaedien said, walking past the group and standing near the next ledge. "Let's hurry this up, we're running out of darkness."
"I agree." Lee said, running again to be catapulted across the gap.
"I'll just meet you guys on the far side." said Icensun, charging another warp spell.
"… and leave me to do all the heavy lifting." Gaedien complained.
"Hey." Ace frowned at him. "I'm not heavy, what're you getting at?"
"You know what I meant."
Ace laughed, "Let's get this over with."
In a few minutes they found themselves on the adjacent building to the one they were ordered to infiltrate. It was an old hotel known as the Sanctuary.
Lee crouched and moved quietly to take cover behind an air conditioning unit after his last jump. He took up a firing position and scouted the neighboring rooftop. There were two people standing on it. "Guards no doubt." he thought to himself. Ace came up behind him, trying just as hard to remain unseen.
"What's the verdict?" Ace asked, peering above their cover.
"I'm thinking we'll send those two to keep it quiet."
"I like it." Icensun agreed.
Gaedien finally reached them also, making an attempt at a soft landing. "Alright, what's the plan for these two?" He asked.
Lee continued. "We were just discussing it. I'm going to let you two figure it out. I don't want to have any loud kills just yet, and since I can't slit their throats without crossing this gap, Ace and I are limited to our rifles which… is not an option for obvious reasons."
"Got it." Gaedien said, as he watched another man come out from the rooftop access doorway.
"Shift change." Ace said.
Lee nodded. "Let them change up."
Across the rooftop, the two men sat in lawn chairs looking out toward the front of the building. They were sitting below a florescent light billboard that depicted a large cross.
"Hey, you're late." Said the man sitting closest to the doorway.
"Whatever, it's only by a minute or two, you can handle that."
"Who's your partner in crime?" Said the second man sitting on the lawn chair.
"It's Clyde, he's getting water."
"Well I'm out of here." said the one closest to the door as he rose from the chair.
"Hey, make sure if you see him, you tell him to hurry the fuck up."
"Will do." He said, marching off to the doorway to disappear into the building.
"So what?"
"Well, anything happen tonight?"
"I'm pretty sure if something had happened, you'd have heard."
"Well, I mean like anything in the streets?"
"Nah man, it's been quiet."
The doors hinges whined as it opened. "Hey Garry, sorry for being late."
"Don't say sorry to him, say sorry to me. I'm the one who's getting off shift."
"Well then, Get!" said Garry.
"Oh trust me, I'm 'getting'." He said, taking his turn to vanish down the stairwell beyond the rooftop access doorway.
Garry sat down. "Ugh, man I hate the three to five shift."
Clyde shrugged. "I don't mind it. At least you get to see the sunrise."
"Are you fucking kidding me?" Garry laughed. "The sunrise? I don't think I've ever seen the sun in this shit hole city."
"Well, you kind of see the disk behind the haze." He said, pointing out to the darkened horizon."
"Yeah well, I'd rather not even bother paying any… ugh." Garry folded over in his chair. "Ugh man, what the hell is that?" He said.
"Garry man, you alright?"
"Something feels really… weird."
"What? Do you feel sick?"
"Sort of yeah, but it's like… butterflies like when you drive down a steep hill or when you're in a plane on takeoff you know?"
"Dude!" said Clyde, his eyes having grown enormous.
"Something's happening around you man, you're like… I don't even know how to explain it."
"Ugh! I … Argh!" He fell of the chair and it floated away through the air as if weightless.
"Holy shit!" Clyde yelled, standing up and backing away. He couldn't take his eyes off of Garry, who stared back at him with a frightened glance.
Garry's eyes widened, and his arm attempted to unfurl from his fetal position. "Guuh!" He uttered, trying desperately to warn Clyde.
Clyde finally noticed that Garry's gaze was focused beyond him, behind him. He spun around and then fell to his knees, gurgling blood from his mouth and nose. He would have collapsed completely if it weren't for the blade that supported him from where it was lodged in his throat. It was removed in one smooth motion, and followed by a crimson spatter. Clyde crumpled to the ground, he wanted nothing more than to grasp at the warmth bubbling below his chin. His arms wouldn't obey the commands from his mind. He couldn't feel anything below the gargling wound in his neck.
Garry watched helplessly as the dark figure stood above his fallen friend. He tried again to reach out but his arm was pulled in by an immense force and the world seemed to be crushed around him and everything became black. In a rush of air and light he fell to the ground and clamored to his hands and knees, desperately trying to understand what had just happened. To his surprise, his hand had come into contact with a textured object. He looked over to see a boot, it's toe plated with darkened steel. Behind it where two more pairs of feet. His gaze rose, but instead of looking upon the faces of his killers, he would see only the shimmer of light reflecting off the sword that was soon lodged deep into his head, splitting his skull like a ripe fruit.
"Well, that's done." Lee said, as he watched Icensun plant a foot into the guards chest to push him back and break the corpse loose from the blade. "Good job boys. Gaedien, you ready for us?"
Gaedien looked at them from the shadows behind the billboard. "I'm ready" he said, his voice projected effortlessly into Lee's ear as quietly as a whisper but audible regardless of the distance it had travelled.
Lee nodded to Ace and they made their jump.
Icensun decided to jump this time too, using his own magic to propel him across the alley below. When he landed, the others looked at him strangely. "What? A guy needs variety." He said, and it seemed to satisfy the glares.
They all made their way toward the doorway.
"Alright. Gaedien, I think I'll need your help for this one. Do you see it?"
Gaedien glared at the doorway, and then his vision shuddered, his mind filled with whispers from the void and his sight blurred with a blue hue. In the doorway, he could feel a force. It translated visually as a dim haze. It was a ward. This one, however, was not meant to stop them. Gaedien focused and searched for the glyph, the scars carved into the fabric of reality that allowed just the right mixture of energies to flood through from the void and create the magical effects desired by the mage who scripted the event. He found it, it's sparkling form hiding so subtly behind the veil of existence. The script was simple, a trigger that would alert the caster of anyone who entered the building that wasn't marked by him. "Shit." Gaedien said turning to the wounded guard. "I hope this asshole's still alive."
"What did you glean?" Icensun asked.
"The ward's a trigger. All his guys are marked. If I can find it, I can forge it and we won't trip the ward."
"Alright." Ace said, pulling the bloodied man on to his back.
"No Ace, it's not a mark you'll see. It's going to be written inside."
Gaedien's eyes burst into flames once more. The man's body glowed dimly, signs of a fading life. "Come on, don't die on me now." He said, peering deeply into the light. "There you are." Within the swirls of his soul was hidden the mark, a simple glyph scripted innocuously into the life energy. "Easy."
"So you can forge it?" Lee asked.
"Without a problem. Here, Icensun, I'll show you the glyph so you can double check that it will work."
Ace and Lee watched as Gaedien and Icensun crouched over the dying man, who had moments ago lost a consciousness that his dying body would never again afford him.
Gaedien's hand waved gently above the mans chest. "See, right there. It's not complex."
"No, you're right it isn't. Do you think it's unique? Do you think it's possible that every man has a different mark?"
"No, it's not possible. Look here, see that part of the glyph?"
"It matches the depth of the script on the ward. If each individual had their own mark, the ward's glyph would have to be heavier."
"Ah yeah, I see what you mean."
"Can you forge that?"
"Come on Gaedien, of course I can, it's child's play."
"Alright." Lee interjected. "Let's get this over with."
Gaedien turned to Lee and Ace and put his hands on their chests. "I'll be sure to remove it once we're done. I for one wouldn't want to have this thing hanging on my soul for the rest of my life. Heck it might even affect respawn."
Ace cringed. "Urgh man, I'm not a fan of that idea."
"Yeah well, it's the only way we're going to accomplish this mission, so suck it up. Do it." said Lee.
Warmth flowed from Gaediens hands and then it was done. "Alright, Icensun, you do me and I'll do you."
"You can't… do it to yourself?" Ace asked.
"I could, but it's… well it's complicated. The best way I can explain it is that it's like trying to paint a circle on your own face. You can do it perfectly on someone else, but you can't really see what you're doing on yourself, and your soul can't be reflected in a mirror."
"Huh… "
"You still don't -"
"Yeah I still don't get it."
"Whatever." Gaedien said, placing his hand on Icensun's chest. "It's not important."
"Nope… not really."
"Alright, we're good… Icensun?"
"Just ugh… get ready to dispel the ward if you see a bad reaction, at least that way they won't know where we're coming in from, they'll just know we're coming."
"Will do G-man, get in there."
"Right…" Gaedien said, walking slowly into the doorway. His eyes were aflame and he was staring into the haze of the ward. "Ugh. I hate walking into someone else's magic, it's like… using the washroom right after a stranger took a dump."
Icensun shook his head. "Thanks for that."
"Your welcome." Gaedien said, squinting as he breached the ward.
"We're good." Icensun said.
Gaedien was looking around, still paranoid that any moment now the ward would trigger alerting an unknown number and strength of enemy that they were at their doorstep.
Icensun stepped forward "My turn." He moved through the doorway with far less reserve than Gaedien did, and continued past him.
Ace looked at Lee. "Like hell." He said to Lee's imperative glare. "You go first."
"Fine." Lee stepped through and took the lead as they continued down the stairwell.
"Ugh." Ace winced. "I hate this shit." He said, tip toeing through the doorway as if it were mined.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - June 7, 1995, New Braunfels, Texas Wednesday, June 7,1995 ■ Heraid-Zeitung ■ 5 THE ART OF THE MATTER Schertz explodes Convenient0 I With Jllty 4th filii to blame Hollywood! Despite Senator Dole's undoubted sincerity, when he Masted the film industry recently, it must be noted that his words were certain ly "politically correct." I find that phrase too irritating to hear, and its concept too inane to con-sider. It implies that there's a uni- Elizabeth V e r s a 11 y Elliott accepted "way to think, speak, conduct oneself." Let's all march in line, fellow sheep! And forget Thoreau's "different drummer"! Well, it seems to me the Golden Rule didn't need replacing as a guide to live by...it gives much broader parameters of individuality while encouraging a sensitive caring for one another. But I've digressed. The point is that Dole's attack on Hollywood (on Times Warner and "gangsta rap" recording studios) blamed them for "polluting our society, and corrupting our children." Gosh, I wish that were true! If it were, we'd know who to outlaw, and then become Utopians, living in our "perfect" world. Thanks for the excuse! We knew it couldn't possibly be OUR fault! After all, don't we teach ethical behavior to our children, and set standards of character-building? And we certainly don't give in to their excessive demands, like designer-label clothes, expensive electronic toys, and whatever other New Wave indulgence...do we? And don't we work hard enough (at least 2 or 3 jobs between parents) to pay for those college careers? No, we couldn't possibly assume the responsibility for the mess our nation is in. The politicians did it...or the corporate giants did it...or the communications media did it...or the entertainment world did it. But not us. Let's get real I agree with Senator Dole that the films ami recording industries have made LARGE contributions to violence, promiscuity, and hardened attitudes of opportunism and greed. But let's take off the blinders! The big boys at the top of those industries are there for ONE reason...MONEY! And they're not stupid. You don't produce a commodity, if there's NO MARKET for it! Our society (in general) seems to crave more and more sensationalism. Does that ring any bells? Wasn't there an empire, many centuries ago, that became so affluent, so caught up in "things," that its excitement-driven decadence cheered while animals ripped human beings apart in the Roman arenas? And like Humpty-Dumpty, it "had a great fall "! Don't look now, but... Pollyanna isn't home today The low-profile, astute new managing editor of this paper gave me permission a short time ago "to stir the air a little," so today, this is the "opinionated lady" talking to you. Yes, I know that Webster says that means I'm stubborn. But only about a few things. And assuming responsibility for one's own world is one of them! And I realize how frightening that can be...but it's the only solution to the ethical health of our country. We crave sensationalism and danger when we feel "empty.' The cure for that emptiness is a return to the courage of living with character, and a belief in the Ultimate Holiness in each human being. (Elizabeth Elliott is a guest columnist for the Heraid-Zeitung, writing on the arts and humanities. .. and sometimes, on the art of being human.) Schertz, with the population of almost 11,000, known as "The Friendly City," is becoming renowned for its Fourth of July Jubilee which is sponsored by the Schertz Business Association and the city of Schertz. Since this is the 20th Jubilee, the themes this year are: Parade— 'Schertz: Memories of Yesteryear," and Opening Ceremonies—''Best of the Past." The show includes the local award-winning Samuel Clemeas High School Band; up-and-coming country and western singer Billy Feehan ( a Schertz resident); fiddler Rex Heckle; and the Cadence doggers. There is no gate fee nor a charge for any of the dances.

The 1995 "Rhythm on Parade" is a true family variety show you won't want to miss. Boy Scout brings love of caverns to local museum What's inside a cave? Visitors to the Children's Museum in New Braunfels find out in the museum's newest exhibit, "Caves and Caverns of Texas and the United States." The cave and all the supporting materials are the end result of months of work for Brian Brown of San Marcos. Brown is a member of Boy Scout Troop 1954 and the cave is his Eagle service project. "Brian approached me last fall with the idea of doing his Eagle service project with us," said Executive Director Susan Williams. "We are always ready to assist that kind of project, and I told Brian how other projects with scouts had been accomplished. The scouts usually came to the museum and worked at whatever tasks were needed, from painting and cleaning to dismantling and installing exhibits. I told him we could always use good muscle and willing workers." Brian wanted to do more than assist the museum with work on hand. "I'd like to make an exhibit. I was thinking about building a cave," he said. "Our troop does a lot of caving. "I want it to look like a real cave, but I'm not sure how yet. I intend to write to the caves around here for brochures and stuff, and build it with the help of my troop." "I was delighted, and probably a little skeptical, but it certainly sounded interesting," said Williams. "We Brian Brown explores the cave he built as his Eagle service project at the Children's Museum. talked a few more times; he came over and measured a space we thought suitable for the project, and then in January he came in with his paperwork. Once I saw his project description on paper, I thought, 'He's really going to do this!"' And he really did. "The cave itself is about four by eight feet, but the visitor only goes a few feet into the cave to stand at a clear window. It's pretty realistic, especially when one stands in the entry. One comer seems to drop off into a deep black hole." Once inside, visitors see stalactites hanging from the ceiling and can touch walls that are textured in good imitation of a real cave. It's dark. Visitors turn on the head lamps attached to their hard hats for a look way back into the depths of the cave. Lots of creatures—rats, snakes, snails and such—'creep' all over the floor. Bats hang from the formations, an owl nests in the comer and a skunk noses the ground in search of bugs. The visitor can listen to a cassette tape which describes features and animals. "It's definitely going to be the hit of the summer," added Williams. "We are proud of it and really proud of Brian. The exhibit will really give the kids a feel for caves and they and their parents can learn a lot." A wall map locates every sizable cavern in the U.S., and information is provided on many of the sites. Books, games, and pictures complete the exhibit. On several occasions during the summer, Brian will gather his troop at the museum where they will provide visitors with more opportunities to learn even more about caving and to see equipment used by spelunkers. The Children's Museum is open every weekday from 9 a.rn.-5 p.m. Saturday hours are IO a.m.-5 p.m. and Sundays are noon-5 p.m. Admission is $2.50 per person. Don Maxwell presents the Children's Museum board president, Patty Pfost, with a check for $500 from the New Braunfels Rotary Club. Club gives boost to program The New Braunfels Rotary Club gave a boost to The Children's Museum in New Braunfels with a $500 donation in support of Free First Tuesday P.M. for June. "We're glad to be able to do it," said Don Maxwell, the club's president-elect. "We had a good year and we like to support the community." "We appreciate it so much," said board president Patty Pfost in thank ing Maxwell. "We really see that the Free Tuesday P.M. idea is meeting a need in the community, and we want to continue it. It helps to have the recognition from civic groups such as the New Braunfels Rotary Club that we, too, are serving the community, and that when we offer a free admission program, it still costs the museum money." The Free First Tuesday P.M. began last June and has continued on the first Tuesday afternoon of each month. Sponsors for the monthly events help cover costs of daily operations and provide funds for special programming on tile free day. "The sponsor's support is really a gilt that helps us get people into the museum who can not afford our admission price. We started with a small crowd on our first free afternoon, but it built steadily through the year, and now we have about 2(X) people coming on the free afternoon," said Pfost. In addition to providing admission to the museum's regular exhibits, the free Tuesdays feature a special event. June's Free Tuesday P M. featured the opening of the museum's newest exhibit, a cave.

One-Hour Energy Stone Massage
73% recommendedin LivingSocial customer ratings
Like standing up in a canoe, daily stress can send your body all off balance. Today's deal can't undo that time you ended up splashing into Maumee Bay, but it can put your body back on the right track: Pay $35 for a one-hour energy stone massage at Quzi Health and Weight Loss in either Maumee or Toledo (a $79 value). During this unique hour-long treatment, a certified massage therapist will use steady pressure and unique energy stones that generate infrared waves. Stones will be placed on your acu-points to restore energy balance, increase lymph circulation, remove inner toxin and waste, and invigorate internal organs' function. This process lets your inner energy flow more easily, resulting in the easing of pain and soreness while also kick-starting that ol' metabolism into a higher gear. Count on leaving with everything feeling in balance -- you might even feel like a whole canoe person.
