Major League Baseball roundup
(The Sports Xchange) - San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy returned to the team just three days after being admitted to a Scottsdale, Arizona, hospital to have two stents inserted into his heart.
Bochy came back Sunday to the World Series champions to supervise workouts for pitchers and catchers. The hospital where the procedure was performed is across the street from the Giants' spring training stadium.
"I couldn't feel any better," Bochy, 59, said. "I am grateful for the doctors and want to thank all the well-wishers who sent me messages."

Atlanta Braves outfielder B.J. Upton will now be known as Melvin Upton Jr., the Atlanta Journal Constitution reported.
Melvin Emanuel Upton Jr. is the birth name of the 30-year-old Upton.
The change was noted when Braves executive John Hart made a passing reference to Melvin Upton, then confirmed that B.J. Upton would go by Melvin Upton Jr. this season.

It's About The Snake...
Short Story by: Victoria Reid
Status: Finished
Genre: Humor
Well, now that I've been here for a bit, and you seem to think I'm mostly okay, I've decided to go back to my old Avatar, with my favorite beloved Burmese Python, Ka.
I was looking at the headshot I originally chose. I used it when I was writing a lot of Kiddie Lit, because I didn't want to scare the Pee Waddin' (I don't know what that is, but I like the sound of it) out of the wee ones. Our images were frequently projected on large screens, and I could envision hordes of screaming tots flooding the aisles in a mass exodus, so I went with my comfy mommy schoolteacher shot. But I don't like it.
If I am to be true to myself, and my soon-to-be-massive and loyal following here, I need to let you know about the real me. Yes, I am a comfy mommy. Sorta. My only kid's in college now. I am not a schoolteacher. I cannot perpetuate this façade.
However, I am honored to be part of a wonderful organization known as the Reptile Family. As such, we do library and classroom visits, birthday parties, special events at parks and what not...you get the picture. My son actually works for the company, owned by my best friend, who has her master's degree in early education. So she is a REAL schoolteacher and genuinely likes little kids. She's the one who swung my visit with Archie, the baby Orang. (Story on this page, if interested.) Back to the reptiles. I am a "helper." This means I assist at the reptile shows. This means that I work with the animals and not so much the kids, which is fortunate — both for the animals and the kids. Don't get me wrong...I have done shows by myself and pulled them off without anyone getting bitten or anything. And I haven't made anybody cry. Yet. But I am the "B" team. No doubt about that.
I am an animal junky. Always have been. I have two semi-geriatric cats (13.5 years old), two young Sulcata tortoises, 7 years old, who weigh 50 pounds each and growing, and I raise baby corn snakes for the group. Old animals eventually depart this earthly plane, and I'm raising the next generation. Cute as the dickens – 6 of them. Attached is a photo of my son working with adult corn snakes at Ren Faire. I have a nifty shot of my face covered with baby corns and only my nose sticking out, but it appears that some people find it kinda icky. So we'll go with the "easy on the eyes" photo as opposed to the "cheezy horror flick" photo.
Gotta tell ya, having a really big snake draped over your shoulders is an awesome feeling. Once-in-a-lifetime for many, frequent for me. Lucky me! I also get to play with lizards, giant scorpions, tarantulas, tree frogs, turtles and a buncha other stuff.
So, now that I've shared this information, I sincerely hope you will not hold it against me. If we're going to form a lasting relationship, I felt it important to let you know. I mean, what if you were working under the misconception that I was only a fan of mammals? Like Orangutans? I simply could not spring such critical information on you at a later date. I hope this will bring us closer together on our journey through Booksie.
Sincerely, Victoria Reid
Evan at the Renaissance Pleasure Faire,
Working with Adult Corn Snakes

Very informative, Victoria! I like the comfortable way you present the story, as author and participant. Easy going and easy to read. But over the shoulders?! Well, ok! I'll stick to my rotties!
A good read!
I had a snake around my shoulders once last summer. It was really cool.
I really like this one! I have never had a snake around my neck before but I had friends who were crazy about them, and iguanas, and tarantulas. In fact they used to leave the tarantula molts out on the coffee table to see if it would freak people out.
Great Article!
Thanks, Darth! Hah! The tarantula molt, right down to the eyeballs. Used to keep mine from my Chilean Rose Hair, "Sydney," until they were too dry and crumbled up. True - great conversation piece! Now it's little snake skins, so I can keep track of who shed and when. It is an amazing process. So glad you liked this.
Well written Victoria and quite enlightening.
Write owwnn, Victoria....the more, the better...you're really good...I like booksie, just because you're in it, snakes 'n all... 8-0
Well done Victoria! I love the Burmese--at a distance, of course. Don't get me wrong--I like snakes better than I like most people... And yet, I can't just have any. But they're beautiful to look at!
PS. 13.5 y/o cats aren't semi-geriatric. They're sorta middle aged cats--so don't age 'em prematurely... ;) Also--I never realized that that gray thing around your neck was a snake--yikes!! *that snake is huge!*
Thanks! They are quite beautiful - the albino ones, too. Bright yellow! Didn't know quite how to classify the cats - I'll take middle aged! Including a new regimen of special foods and meds. Sounds vaguely familiar...
Yes, that huge gray thing around my neck is my favorite snake, Ka. Sadly, our permits only go to 10', so that was my farewell as he went to a facility equipped to handle the bigger guys. I miss him, but have lots of great snakes I'm fortunate to work with.
I really enjoy reading your stories.
They move (slither) so well.
hugs n hisses,
I wish I shared your love of snakes, Victoria. But, alas, I will have to be your warm blooded fur bearing kind of friend. Love the picture of Evan, though. Best wishes to you on Booksie. Keep those great stories coming!
A couple years ago the Milwaukee Museum had a reptile show. It was great. I cuddled so many snakes! I've always liked them; if fact, if one gets in the house, I'm the one who has to take it outside. Luckily the only snakes we get around here are black racers--cranky but nonvenomous. A big one got in the garage and I had to carry it out on the end of a broom, hissing and spitting all the way. (It, not me. I just called it names.) Tarantulas, however, I draw the line at! I don't care how fuzzy and mellow they are. I see those fangs and immediately head the other direction. Great picture, by the way! Don't snakes argue, though, when they get in a mob like that?
Is IS great, isn't it? That's how we turn so many people around who think they're afraid of snakes, but just never had the opportunity to hold one! I get the calls in my neighborhood. "Yes, I'll take that horrible thing out of your yard!" I say gleefully, because it's usually a gopher snake and I got a LOT of gophers!!
Glad you like the shot. I think you're talking about Evan and the corns. If snakes have been raised together, like my 6 babies, or work together a lot, there is never a problem. IF they're the same species! Corn Snake vs. Colombian Red Tail Boa? Boa wins.
Thanks for stopping by!
I love the pic with your snake :) So happy you decided to change it!

We stayed at your beautiful home with four other couples and had a wonderful time! The house is located on a quiet street with views of the Sound and neighboring farms. It's hard to believe you are in New York when you are here. The house is spacious with plenty of natural light. The rooms are large and comfy and decorated beautifully! The master bedroom has a balcony and if you leave the drapes open, you will be treated to a spectacular sunrise! If you are considering visiting the east end of Long Island, I highly recommend the O'Hagan House! Thank you for your hospitality!
My family, friends and I all had a great time here! This home is very spacious, comfortable, immaculate and close to all that the North Fork of Long Island has to offer. Just steps away from the water - awesome views of the Long Island Sound and CT from the second floor. Everyone enjoyed meeting in the large great room which opens up to a beautiful deck. Very close to Greenport, wineries, restaurants and the cross-sound ferry. A great place to bring the whole family!
House is great for entertaining and vacationing with family. While you need to drive a mile or so to take the kids to the beach, it is very easy to get to and as mentioned not very far. The open layout of the house is very nice and the kids had just as much fun in the backyard as they did at the beach. Overall we had a very nice stay.
This is an absolutely beautiful home in an idyllic setting! The home is great for families or groups of friends. Lots of space and a big back yard abutting a field. We saw deer almost every night. Very pretty! The state beach is very close, within biking distance is you don't mind a busy road. The only drawback is a $10.00 fee per car/per day. The other local beaches will not admit you unless you are a resident. This is the only reason I am giving this property four stars. If you are a beach person, there isn't much of a choice. Otherwise, there is plenty to do for both adults and children. Overall, a really nice vacation!
Stayed here recently with my family and this place is beautiful. We had lots of room and plenty of seating in the living room & dining room. Huge country farm table, awesome! We palyed pictionary at the table until midnight. The kids had a ball, this is a great family house. Greenport is 8 miles away and there are plenty of nice places to eat & fun things to do. The state park is 1.5 miles away and you can rent kyaks by the hour. Fishing & boating is a must. We had lots of fun & created great family memories. Thanks James, we will all be BACK!!!

Where to Eat Great Nachos from Coast to Coast
Photo By: Gillian Dougherty
Photo By: Eugene (Huge) Galdones ©2013 Galdones Photography // All Rights Reserved
Nachos Every Way
A heaping platter of crunchy, gooey nachos might be simple, yet its power to satisfy and comfort is undeniable. Whether flaunting pork, brisket or pickled onions, this cheese-shellacked blanket of tortilla chips is especially cherished during football season. Here are 10 of the country's best takes on this humble staple of Tex-Mex joints.
By Alia Akkam
Boston: The Painted Burro
Yes, Joe Cassinelli, chef/owner of Somerville, Mass., restaurant the Painted Burro, weaves traditional accoutrements like chorizo, guacamole and jalapenos into his nachos, but he also loads them up with more unusual ingredients, such as pork charro beans, three cheeses, Baja cream, chipotle, and cabbage and jalapeno slaw.
More About: The Painted Burro
Chicago: Little Goat
Nachos are a standout at Little Goat, Stephanie Izard's more casual River North sibling to Girl and the Goat. Hefty portions of barbecue pork, pickled peppers, beans, cheddar, sour cream and avocado sit atop housemade masa chips. But don't think that will stop you from ordering the Choco Taco, a sundae in which those chips get dipped in velvety chocolate.
More About: Little Goat
Denver: Tacos Jalisco Mexican Food
Of course the tacos — choose from tongue, shredded beef with poblano chile, and more — are the stars at this northwest Denver go-to. The nachos, however, tricked out with cheddar, refried beans, guacamole, pico de gallo and pickled jalapenos, should kick off any meal here. Subtly smoky pork green chile only adds intrigue.
More About: Tacos Jalisco Mexican Food
Houston: Ninfa's on Navigation
At the original circa-1973 Ninfa's on Navigation — not Houston's myriad Tex-Mex impostors of the same name — nachos, strewn with cheddar cheese, refried beans, guacamole, pico de gallo and pickled jalapenos pave the way for the restaurant's acclaimed flour-tortilla-wrapped tacos al carbon.

More About: Ninfa's on Navigation
Los Angeles: Border Grill
Susan Feniger and Mary Sue Milliken, the dames behind modern Mexican institution Border Grill, are known for their Skillet Nachos. At the downtown Los Angeles location — as well as in Las Vegas at Mandalay Bay and the Forum Shops at Caesars — the dish arrives piled high with housemade tortilla chips, from-scratch cheese sauce, organic black beans and tender morsels of carne asada.
More About: Border Grill
New York: Hill Country Brooklyn
Settle in with a proper Manhattan at the bar of honky-tonk-inspired Hill Country. Then, stay awhile longer over a mess of Texas Chili Nachos. This hearty rendition unites the restaurant's famous red chili with cheddar, red onions, sour cream, pickled jalapenos and, of course, Lone Star State-style queso.
More About: Hill Country BBQ
Philadelphia and New York: El Vez
Sipping on a frozen blood orange margarita is one way to savor El Vez's stylish, retro setting. Another is digging into the nachos, which make appearances on most tables at these spots from restaurateur Stephen Starr. Embracing the motto "No Chip Left Behind," the Nacho Mama dish is arranged in a single layer on a pizza panlike dish, ensuring each thick-cut chip is properly dressed with melted Jack cheese, black beans, salsa ranchera, sour cream, pickled red onion and jalapeno. Upgrade to the Macho Nacho, and the melange also includes chorizo.
More About: El Vez
Portland, Ore.: La Taq
The Texas-style 'cue Rodney Muirhead churns out at northeast Portland favorite Podnah's Pit — all 10-hour-smoked brisket plates should be prefaced by Frito pie — gets the Tex-Mex treatment at the adjacent La Taq. Inside this cheerful cantina, Chef Johnattan Curiel tucks strands of Podnah's signature juicy beef into a fiery mound of chips, pico de gallo, sour cream and jalapeno. Wash it all down with a salt-rimmed tequila-and-Squirt Paloma.
More About: La Taq
San Francisco: Velvet Cantina
You could plump up the Velvet Nachos at this kitschy Mission District Mexican lair with chorizo or chicken, but with chile con queso, black beans, sour cream and guacamole hulking over a bed of tortilla chips, you hardly need them. There's only one dessert on the menu — s'mores — and it also takes the form of nachos, laden with crushed graham crackers, Mexican chocolate and hot, sticky marshmallows.

Raymond Keeler Sawyer, of Southport, died peacefully at home with his son and daughter-in-law with him on Wednesday, July 15, 2015, at the age of 75.
He was born in Philadelphia on Aug. 2, 1939, to Burdette Cleveland Sawyer and Lillian Stillings Sawyer. At the age of 20, he joined the U.S. Navy where he met and married the love of his life, Debbie Sawyer. He spent the next 20-plus years serving his country aboard various aircraft carriers before retiring in 1979 and moving his family to settle in Southport.
He also spent 10 years running a family owned dry cleaning business, the Glam-O-Rama, before retiring for good.
Mr. Sawyer is survived by his three children, B.J. Sawyer, of Boiling Spring Lakes, Michelle Sawyer, of Westport, Connecticut, and Renee Reed, of Oak Island; grandchildren, Zachary Dalton, of Southport, Jessica Bettinghaus, of Florida, and Jordan Reed, of Oak Island; daughter-in-law, Roxieanna Sawyer; and several nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Deborah Simmons Sawyer; parents, Burdette and Lillian Sawyer; brother, Danny Sawyer; and sister, Jessie Barnes.
Due to his military service, Mr. Sawyer will be buried at sea by the U.S. Navy with full military honors.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Lower Cape Fear Hospice or the Alzheimer's Association.

Much of the velocity heterogeneity in the upper mantle has chemical origin (ocean vs. continent). To what extent is the deep mantle chemically heterogeneous? In regions where there is chemical heterogeneity, what is the cause of heterogeneity (which elements or which minerals)? Ritsema et al. (1999) Models to explain geophysical and geochemical observations (Tackley, 2000) Upper mantle Transition zone Trampert and van Heijst (2002) Pattern of anisotropy is very different between the upper mantle and the transition zone. What does it tell us? What do we want to know? • How does rheology control convection pattern? – What is the rheological stratification in Earth? – How can we infer flow pattern from seismological observations? • How does rheology affect mixing? – Where are geochemical reservoirs and how have they survived (or not survived)? • Why plate tectonics on Earth and not on Venus? – What are the mechanisms of localization of deformation? • How have continents survived for billions of years? – Is continental lithosphere "dry" or "wet"? Frontiers in the study of deformation of minerals and rocks • Extreme conditions – High-pressure (whole Earth dynamics) – Large strain (anisotropy, grain-size evolution, strain partitioning) – Small strain (seismic tomography-anelasticity post-glacial rebound) • Complexities – deformation chemical reaction(s) [metamorphism, phase transformations, partial melting, hydrogen redistribution---] – deformation microstructural evolution [instability, localization: "plate" formation, deep earthquakes] Some fundamentals of mineral and rock rheology • • • • T-P dependence of plastic deformation Stress, grain-size dependence Dependence on chemical environment Effects of phase transformations Elastic deformation Plastic deformation: involves atomic jumps thermally activated processes probability T-dependence time-dependence Temperature dependence of elastic constant and viscosity: ductile strength (viscosity) is highly sensitive to T Pressure dependence of elastic constant and viscosity: ductile strength (viscosity) is highly sensitive to P Basic physics of plastic deformation • Defects and plastic deformation – thermo-chemical equilibria – law of mass action – fugacity • Thermally activated processes – origin of t-T dependence – Boltzmann statistics Ý K (T ,P,C , , ,t) N(T ,P,C, , ,t ) K: rate (velo city) of motion of defects : plastic strain as sociated with a unit motion o f defect N: number density of defects T: temperature P: pressure C: chemical env ironment ¦ Defect densit y P oint defects (dependent on T, P, C but not on ) Dislocat ions (dependent on but not onT, P and C) Grain-boundaries (generally independent of thermodynamic parameters) ¦ Defect mobilit y This term depends strongly on T, P and st ress (and chemical environment) and cont rols the dependence of rate of deformation Point defects G(n) ngf TSconf (n) .

Kršge r-Vin k notati on of point de fects In considering a chemical reaction involving point defects in an ionic crystal, it is important to consider the conservation of lat tice sites and of elect rost atic charge. T he Kršg er-Vink notat ion of point defects is a useful tool to clearly define a point defect and indicate its effect ive charge relat ive to the perfect lattice. A Kršg er-Vink not ation contains three types of informat ion: X YZ . X indicates t he at omic species that sits on the lat tice site Y, and Z represents t he effective charge ( is effective + charge, is effective 2- charge and is neutral). T hus for example, FeM ,FeM in olivine (Mg,Fe)2SiO4 indicate a ferric iron (Fe3+) at M-site, a ferrous iron (Fe2+) and VM indicates a vacancy at M-site with an effective charge of 2- (relative t o the perfect latt ice) respectively.

|10.2 STATUS file is stale
|Tue, 03 Oct 2006 14:20:29 GMT
I am reporting this now in case someone thinks it needs to be fixed before the release. I intend to cast a vote once my own and Henri's test results are ready. Too bad I didn't notice this before, but it is hopefully not a serious issue: The STATUS file in the 10.2.1.6 -src distribution is not up-to-date - it contains obsolete information such as: "Derby 10.2.0.0 is currently in the alpha stages." and "A 10.1 bugfix release, 10.1.2.x is in the works." Updating the STATUS file is mentioned as part of step 4 in the recipe for making a release on http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/DerbySnapshotOrRelease. -- John

Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, Lovells and White & Case have advised on a major deal that is set to transform the German energy market.
The firms worked on the acquisition by a joint venture – made up of Australian investor Industry Funds Management (IFM) and its partner and owner of the Belgian high voltage grid Elia – of the business of 50Hertz Transmission from Vatenfall Europe.
The deal marks the growth of independent companies in the German transmission market and happens in advance of the implementation of the third EU Package Directive, which will require EU countries to separate ownership of transmission grid operation and generation/supply businesses.
Lovells partner Steven Bryan, who led his firm's cross-border team advising its longstanding client IFM on the matter, said: "It's the first divestment by an integrated generation and transmission owner. It creates a precedent because it's an example of how it can be done. You've got a combination of an industry player and a financial player – perhaps it shows the way forward. These are assets that are highly sought after."
Lovells was asked to advise IFM after having worked with the client on a number of matters over the past few years, including its bid as part of a consortium for Anglian Water.
Bryan was assisted by Ben Higson (partner) and Karima Fahmy (senior associate) in the London corporate team; Alexander Loos (partner) and Thorsten Volz (senior associate) in the Dusseldorf corporate team; Michael Dettmeier (partner) and Stefan Schultes-Schnitzlein (senior associate) in the Dusseldorf tax team; and Matthew Levitt (partner) and Simon Barnes (of counsel) in the competition and EU law team based in Belgium and London.
The assets are to be acquired by Elia and IFM on a 60:40 basis for a total of e810m (£899m). The joint venture was advised by Freshfields, with a team including Cologne-based corporate and M&A partners Ludwig Leyendecker and Burkhard Bastuck.
Vatenfall is understood to have been advised by White & Case M&A partners Jörg Kraffel and Carsten Rodemann, together with its in-house team.

Published: 2013-11-22, by Manu Galvez.
From North Pole to the Sun, you will stand in the way of waves migrating penguins. Don't let a single one abandon your lands.
As a classic tower defense, you must place eskimos and igloos as they were turrets. There are different units you can place, all them of upgradeable. Up to 8 different enemies will approach you, including Penguins, Ghost and Lemming.
Eskmo Defense comes packed with 20 challenging levels (only 5 in Lite version). Difficulty increases after each wave, so you better place the five upgradeable towers smartly to guarantee eskimos' supremacy in the Northern lands.
You can submit your scores and get achievements from online leaderboards provided by Scoreloop. Graphics aren't outstanding. That's true. However, the gameplay is so addictive that graphics certainly become less important. Entertaining.

Writer/director David Lowery (St. Nick) weaves this poetic drama centered on the journey of a notorious outlaw who breaks out of prison to reunite with his beloved wife and the daughter he's never met. Bob Muldoon and Ruth Guthrie were two outlaws on the run when their crime spree came to a sudden end deep in the Texas hills. When the gunsmoke cleared following a shootout with police, a local officer lay critically wounded by deadeye Ruth. Determined to save his love from getting thrown behind bars, however, Bob claims responsibility for the shot, and receives a stiff prison sentence. A few years later, when Bob learns that Ruth has given birth to their daughter, he makes a daring escape, and flees to be with them at any cost. Rooney Mara, Casey Affleck, and Ben Foster co-star. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Prince Leopold: The Jousting FeastMature
Another feast, this one in celebration of a good jousting tournament. Even if it was bad, there would have still been a feast. The people of Phareasia do not have very many chances for large dinings such as these, but will grasp at any opportunity to do so.
Fortunately the king decided to give the jousting feast a miss too, yet the tension was still running high as most of the room's attention was focused on Leopold and Apophis Vyper. Though most of the noblemen, the ones who had not been competing, had felt rather proud of the prince that day, they were unsure as to whether they should congratulate him on his victory. If was no secret that his uncle, the Hand of the king was furious.
Apophis' mean green eyes were fixed on his nephew the whole night. His stare was sharper than the knife that they used to cut into the feast's gigantic turkey, brought from the Giants' Islands, which was so far west of Phareasia that fools who believed the world to be round said that the Islands almost lay east.
Leopold sat quiet, avoiding meeting his uncle's gaze and mulling over the heated argument they had earlier. He had never seen Apophis angry before. He was always cold and composed. Neither could he believe that his uncle had ordered someone to practically baby-sit him, especially someone as odd and creepy as Silver the Shadow, as Leopold had nicknamed him.
Didn't his uncle trust him? Apophis trusts no one but himself, he thought to himself.
Perhaps he'll eventually discover a way to lose the Shadow. Maybe bribe him to disappear and leave him alone for a while. Or distract him with a pretty young whore. Silver the Shadow seemed like he hadn't been with a woman in a while. Leopold could always tell these things.
Nieneve's voice interrupted his internal dialogue.
"I fear if there's another feast tomorrow that I may grow fat, your royal highness." She smiled, but it was as hollow and forced as her joke. From beside her Leopold noticed that her brother watched his sister with the same intensity that Apophis was watching him. When Pharneus saw that the prince had noticed, he tore his gaze away from Nieneve and made a half-hearted attempt to converse with the slightly drunken nobleman on the other side of him.
"As long as you have enough room left for the wedding feast," replied Leopold to Nieneve, equally forced. That was the end of their short conversation. Neither attempted to start another conversation with each other or anyone else during the rest of the meal.
After the feast was over, Leopold returned to his bedchamber, but he wasn't there long before he decided to walk around the palace for a bit to calm the restlessness that had suddenly came over him.
He had not reached the end of the corridor before he sensed that Silver the Shadow trailing was behind him.
"Lovely day for a walk?" He called over his shoulder. The Shadow didn't respond but Leopold knew he was listening.
Then an idea came to the prince. Not far from where he was, in the same direction that he was walking, was a narrow corridor that was mostly hidden from view. Unless one knew where it was, it could easily be overlooked. Leopold had even missed it the first several times that he had searched for it.
If he was to stealthily slip down it, being a few paces ahead of Silver and in low lighting, there was a high possibility that he would disappear right before the Shadow's ever watchful eyes. If he was lucky, maybe the Shadow could fear it an act of black magic and flee from the castle fleeing, never to step foot in this kingdom again.
That would be too much to hope for, he thought, sighing. His escape route came into sight and he saw his chance and took it.
Soon he was out of the narrow passageway and back to walking down the wide halls. This time alone, he hoped.
Several minutes later, he was walking towards where Nieneve's bedchamber was. Perhaps she could cure his... restlessness, but just as he was about to turn the corner he heard a man's voice. Though it was hushed, it's tone was still angry and acidic.
"... If you don't ... We'll lose all that I've worked for ... And I'll never be ..." Even though Leopold was quite close, the voice kept drifting in and out of his hearing. Although he did recognised the voice as belonging to Pharneus Dracarys.
His sister responded. Though she sounded strong, her voice wavered slightly.
"I will not disappoint you, brother."
"You better not or you are now better than a common whore."
There was a pause. Then Leopold heard her say, "do not call me a whore."
Leopold heard something move quickly through the air and then collide with something else. He was sure she had hit him, but didn't move to investigate until he heard the quick footsteps storm off in the other direction.
When he finally thought it safe, he walked around and saw Nieneve standing there clutching her cheek, her eyes welling up with tears but she didn't dare cry. As he got closer, he noticed it was red and swelling.
She saw him and turned away, opening the door to enter her bedchamber.
"Wait!" He called after her, grabbing on to her wrist so she couldn't enter. She tried to pull away, but he held on to her.
Silver materialised from the shadows and placed a hand lightly on the prince's shoulder.
"I think the Lady Nieneve would rather be on her own at the moment."
Leopold nodded. He let go of her, but gently put her hand on her cheek. It felt hot where the blood had come the surface.
"When we are married, I promise that no man shall ever strike you again," he told her.

Talyn: Damn
The city fell into chaos not by swarm , not by superbots , but by a new entity one which seemed to have a conglomerate of powers well thats what I could feel from his energy output. This was troublesome he seemed to be using an insane amount of energy and was able to use more. Meteors , volcanoes , many destructive forces where destroying the city killing so many innoecents. I felt powerless as I tried to follow him but he constantly phased out. Eventually I track him down to an appartment of another superhuman but once agian he phased out.
The millitary began to organize , and move people out of the area and begin to secure the the living hell. What was I hoping to do , my power take way to much energy to have the sorta fight to be on equal grounds with someone like that. I would be a god if I had endless energy. The enemy didn't seem to emmerge out of his phasing leading me to the conclusion that their was a fight going on in his phase dimesensions.
" Damn, I can't sit here all day waiting for him to leave, but I can't let him continue blowing this city to bits." I say outloud.
My voice attracted super bots. too many superbots as they outnumbered the military in strength , and also they where looking for me.
" There here is." I hear a radio say then I feel the air being pushed away by a sniper bullet. I side step and soon the military and the super bots where on my tail.
" Crap." I say as I tear into a run dodging bullets and what not.

Definition of Adlerian
: of, relating to, or being a theory and technique of psychotherapy emphasizing the importance of feelings of inferiority, a will to power, and overcompensation in neurotic processes
Origin and Etymology of adlerian
Alfred Adler
First Known Use: 1912
Medical Dictionary
Biographical Note for adlerian
Adler \ˈäd-lər\play ,
Alfred (1870–1937), Austrian psychiatrist. Along with Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung, Adler is considered one of the founders of modern psychiatry. At one time a close associate of Freud, Adler broke with Freud especially over the emphasis placed on sex as an underlying cause of neurosis. In 1907 he advanced his theory that physical defects may affect the psyche, producing feelings of inferiority and attempts at psychological compensation which, if unsuccessful, may lead to neurosis. The concept of the inferiority complex has grown out of Adler's work.

In general, corporate profit reports have been better than broad U.S. economic data has been of late. Eventually, the market will need them to be back in sync, however, for the gains to continue, some market observers say.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1.5%, or 199 points, to 13,228.31, a second consecutive weekly rise. The Standard & Poor's 500 index gained 25 points, or 1.8%, to 1403.36, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite picked up 69 points, or 2.3%, to 3069.20, snapping a three-week losing streak. Small was beautiful last week, as the Russell 2000 soared 2.7% to 825.47.
"It's kind of a Teflon market," notes Mark Luschini, chief investment strategist for Parker/Hunter Asset Management. "The market cherry-picks the news that allows it to view the glass as half full."
It was better-than-expected earnings that drove stocks, while softening economic data and Thursday's downgrade of Spanish government debt by Standard & Poor's were disregarded, he adds. The market seemed to ignore the Spanish bond yield's moving toward 6% at one point last week. Government bond yields above that level are traditionally considered unsustainable.
Amazon's earnings report Friday was an example of the glass-half-full view. The Internet retailer's first-quarter profits slid to $130 million, or 28 cents a share, from $201 million, or 44 cents a share, a year ago. However, investors and Wall Street analysts were both emboldened by the 34% revenue rise, to $13 billion, which exceeded expectations. Amazon shares were among the best performers in the S&P 500, up 20% last week, to $226.85.
In other news, U.S. gross domestic product grew by 2.2%, the Commerce Department said Friday, less than expectations of 2.5% and less than the 3% in the fourth quarter.
"Clearly, the domestic economy has slowed down a tad," says Stephen Massocca, a fund manager at Wedbush Equities Management. Even though GDP didn't beat expectations, corporate earnings did, as many of these companies have worldwide exposure. The U.S. slowdown is less of a problem than another worsening of the European debt crisis, he adds.
In general, the first-quarter earnings growth rate for companies in the S&P 500 index was 4.7% without Apple and 7.1% including Apple, according to Thomson Reuters. Of the 275 companies that have reported so far, nearly three-quarters have beat analyst expectations, above the long-term average of two-thirds.
While the earnings have been a positive factor, at some point "we better see some positive economic surprises again," Luschini adds. The employment-growth and jobs-claims data have been less good lately and that needs to turn around in order to support a move from the 1400 handle on the S&P 500, he says.
WILL DIVIDENDS GO THE WAY of the dodo? That's hyperbole, of course, yet we get the sense that of all the things investors are worried about these days, new dividend taxes aren't high on the list. Perhaps they should be.
First, a little history. After the Bush 2003 tax cuts, dividend-income tax rates dropped to 15% from 39.6%. The market saw an immediate rise in the number of dividend-paying stocks, following a multi-decade decline, according to a recent report from Strategas Research Partners.
As we get closer to the U.S. elections in November, the future tax rate on dividends will become an issue of much greater investor concern than it is today. The dividend-tax debate will likely have a subtle effect on broad markets in the second half of 2012, but also potentially more important, direct influence on dividend-paying stocks.
Under current law, if nothing is done by Congress this year, the Bush tax cuts will automatically expire. The top rate on dividends could nearly triple in 2013, to 43.4% (including a 3.8% health-care surcharge), from the current 15%, says Daniel Clifton, a Washington-based head of policy research at Strategas.
Undoubtedly such a hike would be painful for the personal taxes of many corporate directors as well as CEOs and CFOs—the folks who set dividend policy. Yet the tax sting would be felt by a wide variety of investors. Over the past few years, dividends have reached a historically high level as a percentage of personal income. And with Treasury yields near record lows, they're especially important to retirees.
Changes to the dividend tax will likely have a marked affect both on companies considering their first dividends and dividend increases by companies that already pay them.
Should the polls, or the election itself, make it obvious that dividend tax rates are headed much higher, some companies will likely declare special dividends in the second half of this year, returning cash to shareholders before the higher rates kick in.
Companies with high levels of insider ownership have a particularly high likelihood of a special dividend ahead of a tax hike, says Clifton.
Mark Montagna, an analyst at Avondale Partners in Nashville, concurs. "Companies with high insider ownership where there is a key decision maker; that have lots of cash; and have a history of special dividends" are the ones where a special dividend later this year is most likely, he adds.

Neuberger owns both, though not for the dividend potential.
What happens to the dividend tax will depend on who wins the presidency and Congress, and election results are unknowable at this point. What is clear, though, is that the default mode is that the Bush cuts expire and dividend taxes go up on the first of the year. Consequently, it's a good guess that many companies will ready the paperwork for a special dividend.
COMVERSE TECHNOLOGY (CMVT), a provider of billing software and services for telecom companies, hasn't made a dime of profit since 2006, about the time it was engulfed by a stock-options scandal.
In the fiscal year ended January, CTI, as the parent is commonly referred to in order to distinguish it from a similarly named subsidiary, posted $1.6 billion in revenue, down slightly from the previous year. The loss narrowed to $59 million, or 28 cents a share, versus $132 million, or 64 cents, in the previous fiscal year.
Despite all this red ink, the stock, down 13% since late September, could turn out to be a winner this year.
Parent CTI, a not particularly well-followed mid-cap stock with a $1.4 billion market value, has four major assets: the Comverse billing software business; a 54% stake through equity and convertible preferred in Verint Systems vrnt 0.6150061500615006% Verint Systems Inc.

Last year CTI hired a new CEO, Charles Burdick, who's well-versed in restructuring, says Thomas O, an analyst at Evermore Global Advisors who believes he could increase shareholder value significantly above the current price of $6.40 through the eventual unwinding of the holding company.
As part of the restructuring, CTI has begun to improve transparency and sold off Ulticom, another publicly traded subsidiary in late 2010, O adds. Evermore has recently been buying shares of CTI. The company's stock was relisted on the Nasdaq last September. The moves CTI has made and will likely continue to make, argues O, could push the value of the shares to between $8 and $10.50 in the not too distant future.
For example, the Verint stake, a profitable data-mining software company, is currently worth about $4 per CTI share, says O, and the company has about $2.30 per share in cash and little debt. Together this almost makes up the entire share price.
But the parent company is also spinning out the main billing software company, also called Comverse. Analyst O puts the value of the latter as a standalone entity, at about $2.25 per share. Evermore arrives at that value by comparing Comverse to peers and applying a 50% discount on enterprise value (market value plus net debt) to sales. Using a comparable peer valuation, the standalone business would be worth $4.50 per CTI share.
O thinks that a spinoff of Comverse, pending a necessary tax ruling, could happen by early autumn, perhaps catalyzing the shares.
The downside risk is relatively contained, he adds, because activist fund Cadian Capital Management owns 2% of the stock and can be expected to continue pressuring the board to unlock value.
The Rising
The Dow jumped 1.5% last week, driven steadily higher by solid first-quarter earnings. AT&T and Boeing soared more than 5%, while Wal-Mart fell 5.5%.
