A/N: I've had this sitting unfinished on my computer for weeks, now. It started as a small drabble, and now… Well, I'm not exactly sure what happened. Hope you enjoy it!
Merlin was shivering, not from the cold, because it was still summer and the air thick with warmth. It was nerves, anticipation. He could feel his entire skeleton trying to shake off his skin, from his legs, to his neck, to that horribly uncomfortable spot right in the middle of his ribcage. He gathered his things with shaking hands and folded them up in a bag as quietly as he could. He took his magic book, of course, some clothes, the dragon his father had made him. Nothing more. Gaius had treated him well, he couldn't bear to think of taking anything that belonged to the physician. The thought of his mentor hit Merlin with a pang of guilt. He hadn't left a note; he didn't plan to. He hadn't told anyone that he was leaving, nor why. He couldn't.
Perhaps if Gaius ever figured it out, he'd think that Merlin was being melodramatic, that the boy had hit a fancy or broken too fast under an insubstantial pressure. He'd be wrong.
Thoughts of leaving Camelot for good had been batting about in Merlin's head for quite some time, now. He could almost hear the pitch of his destiny dropping as it spiraled into ruin. He could feel the hole in his heart dig itself deeper with every lie that passed his lips. He watched as the roots of his life imbedded themselves deeper and deeper into Camelot and her people, into Merlin's friends. All the while, his magic sharpened the blade that would, inevitably, cut his roots to the quick.
It wasn't as though Merlin didn't think that destiny had failed – not yet. But it would, if he continued on like this. He'd invested too much. He cared to much. There was too much at stake already for him to torture his emotions like that anymore. He had to let go before it was all ripped from his hands. He wouldn't give up on them, but he had to give them up. He'd help, from a distance, a safe, impersonal distance, where he couldn't inflict any more pain, betrayal, or regret than absolutely necessary. It wouldn't be easy, leaving now, but it would easier now than later. It wasn't a whim that Merlin was acting on when he snuck out of the castle in the dark of pre-dawn. It was a calculated, measured, rationalized decision that had been months in the making. It was a mercy.
As he walked down the steep path away from Camelot and found himself sniffling, he tried to tell himself that it was the pollen floating in the air. He didn't look back at the castle, wouldn't let himself.
The woods probably should have scared him at dawn; the beasts of the forest were waking up, hungry and well-rested, the light still too dim to see properly. But he wasn't afraid, perhaps stupidly, and he knew it. So he walked straight into the treeline without hesitation. He didn't know which way he was going, or where he would go. He would figure it out eventually. He couldn't go back to Ealdor, because he knew his mother would disagree with his decision, and he did not want to burden her again with supporting him. Perhaps he would make his way northwest, toward the druid encampments. Perhaps he would return to Freya's lake, build a house their like they always said they would. He wasn't sure.
It was around midday when he decided he'd ought to find something to eat. Alone and free from the supervision of any Camelot citizen, he was free to use his magic. With the assistance of a small dagger and a little magic, he'd nailed a decent sized hare that would give him food for a few meals. He set the cooking fire with magic and a little, rebellious thrill went through him at the feeling of using his power, uninhibited, to make life just a little easier. He set the hare to cook on a spit and fetched a skin's worth of water from a stream he'd found while hunting.
As he made his way back, he could smell his dinner before he'd spotted it. When he did, however, he found that it was already being eaten by a crouched figure standing over his pack.
"Oi!" He said, coming up to the fire. Immediately, the figure darted off with a theif's speed, but when the rustling from its escape stopped abruptly, Merlin knew that they couldn't have gone very far. He cast a glance at the hare on the spit. It was fully cooked and had one less leg than he'd left it with, but was otherwise in fair shape. His pack had been shoved to the side in the scuffle, but not pilfered. He sighed, and sat down, still watching the spot where his visitor had disappeared to. He could hear them, still lurking nearby. Eventually, he said,
"You can come on out, now, if you like."
He watched from the corner of his eye as a small mop of hair rose up above a bush, then two bright green eyes, and then messy, youthful cheeks.
"I'd have shared with you anyway, had you been nice enough to ask. There's enough for the both of us."
The boy that came around from his hiding spot would have been labeled as a street rat, had he been in Camelot. However, something about the woodsy smell on his tattered clothes and the sticks tangled in his dirty blonde hair gave him a wilder look. He was watching Merlin with wide, perceptive eyes as the man took down the hare and cut off portions of meat. He put some onto a large, clean leaf and handed it to the boy, who took it without thanks. Instead, he said,
"You have magic."
Merlin looked at him quickly, almost angrily, but eventually looked away and began eating.
"You started the fire with magic," the boy spoke through a mouthful.
"And?" Merlin asked.
"Aren't you scared someone will catch you?"
Merlin let out a humorless laugh. "Well, they haven't so far, have they?"
The boy smiled, revealing a mouthful dirty teeth, two of which were just beginning to grow in their second set. He bit hungrily into his meal, smacking impolitely, hunched over his meal like an animal. He seemed generally unaware of all social graces Merlin had been raised into. Hunith may have been a simple peasant woman, but even peasants had manners. Merlin wasn't quite sure what to make of this boy.
"I take it you aren't scared of magic, then?"
"Only of the bad kind," he said.
Merlin quirked an eyebrow. "Oh? And what if I'm the bad kind?"
The boy snorted, as though this were funny. "You aren't, though."
"And how do you know that?"
"You're Emrys," and he said it like it was the easiest thing in the world.
Merlin stopped eating, and stared. The boy went on munching happily, wiping his hands on his dirty shirt and paying Merlin no attention whatsoever. Merlin, meanwhile, found that despite the water he'd been drinking, his throat was suddenly dry.
"How did you know that?" Merlin asked, very seriously. The boy looked up at him.
"I'd have to be daft or dead to not notice. Coulda smelt your magic coming a mile away." He bit into a stringy drumstick and spoke through his chewing in an unpleasant way. "Knew it was your camp when I saw it."
Merlin was growing rather irritated with this… this imp. "And you took my meal?" he asked incredulously.
"I didn't take all of it. And besides, I'd always been told that you were a generous one, thought you wouldn't mind too much. And I was hungry."
Merlin's eyebrows were in his hairline. So not only had this boy known who he was, he'd known his reputation, and exploited it in a completely disrespectful, uncivilized manner. He glared at the small face sidelong, but was unable to voice his anger. He was just a boy, and no matter how horrible he was, Merlin couldn't find it in himself to grow angry at a child he hardly knew. He made himself eat several bites of food before he spoke again.
"How long have you been scrounging around out here?"
"Oh," the boy took a bite too large for his mouth. "a while." Merlin winced when specks of meat fell out when he spoke. "most people don't camp out 'round here. I hunt, usually. Nice to smell real cooking."
"Right." Merlin tried to tone down his grimace. As the boy bent over his food, Merlin frowned. Peeking out from behind his threadbare collar, there was a dark tattoo, a triangle with cords spiraling out from the corners. Merlin paused mid-bite, but quickly recovered. It wasn't too surprising. He knew who Merlin was, he was comfortable around magic – although whether he had any himself, Merlin was unsure. Still, he wanted to confirm his suspicions.
"Are you a druid?" he asked. The reaction was unexpected. The boy's eyes shot over at Merlin with a glint in them that made Merlin think, for just a moment, that he might have to defend himself. The boy glared for a moment, then resumed chewing.
"I was." He said. Merlin frowned. It wasn't like the druids to forget their own.
"What do you mean?" he tried to make his voice softer. This was obviously a touchy subject.
"My mother and father were druids," the boy explained quickly, "and so was I. Then they died."
Merlin nodded, although he didn't fully understand. So the boy was an orphan. But why not a druid?
"What is your name?" He asked. The boy looked disappointed when his meal ran out. He wiped his mouth on the back of his sleeve.
"Aodan," Merlin repeated quietly, committing the name to memory. "Why aren't you a druid anymore?"
Aodan looked annoyed. "I told you, my parents died."
"I don't understand. Did your clan reject you because… because of your parents?"
"I don't have a clan," Aodan spat, and just as Merlin was about to ask, added bitterly, "they all died, too." Merlin's brows slackened in sudden understanding. He could have predicted it what Aodan said next, "and if you're lucky enough to escape a Pendragon once, you learn that being a druid is a bad idea." He was ripping angrily at the leaf his dinner had been served on, and began to mindlessly weave the strips together.
"I'm sorry," Merlin said, feeling awkward. He'd gathered before that he, or rather, Emrys, (whose identity he still couldn't quite equate with himself) was regarded as something like royalty among the druids, and yet here he was, the ally and protector of the very same man who'd massacred this poor boy's parents and clan.
"How long has it been?" Merlin asked quietly.
"Three years," Aodan said. Where the boy couldn't see, Merlin winced. Aodan couldn't have been more than twelve or thirteen years old. To lose his parents so young and live on his own… Merlin could scarcely imagine. All at once, the bad manner, lack of hygiene, and general rudeness made sense.
"You said… A Pendragon did it. Which one?"
"Well, he's not dead yet, if that's what you're asking."
Merlin closed his eyes. Arthur. When he opened them again, Aodan was looking at him again, his eyes stuck somewhere in between curiosity and accusation. "Is he really supposed to be the Once and Future King?"
Merlin watched him, his heart weighed down with sadness. He could hardly believe in this grand destiny business himself, and now, he was looking down into the eyes of a child, scarred beyond imagining by the same man that Merlin was sworn to protect. And Merlin wasn't sure if what he was about to say was really true or not.
"He is."
Aodan looked disappointed, but resigned. "I knew you'd say that," He said, curling his legs up under his chin. "You're his Emrys, after all."
Merlin wasn't sure he wanted to agree, because it made him sound altogether too sure of himself. He assumed a similar position as Aodan, and the pair sat for a while like that, one clean, lanky figure bent up beside a smaller, far dirtier frame. "I know he's not much to be proud of," Merlin said, half to himself, "not yet, at very least." He sighed. "I'm trying to give him time."
"Yeah, I know," Aodan said, nodding in an unexpectedly calm way, "Destiny, Albion, and all that."
Merlin actually looked at him in surprised. "What do you know of Albion?" He asked. You may know more than me, he wanted to say.
"My father spoke of it." And the tiniest hint of happiness touched his green eyes when his thoughts drifted back to those times. "He told me your prophecies like bedtime stories. Mother would laugh at him for it, but he couldn't help it. His father, my grandfather, was a seer, you see. He grew up on the prophecies and stories, got all excited at their mention." Merlin was blushing bright red, embarrassed at the thought that he, scrawny, clumsy, big-eared Merlin would ever be the topic of bedtime epics. Aodan had begun to frown. "He always told them as thought they'd happen years and years in the future. We were all at peace, then, magic folk. We were too far away from Uther's reach to know of his madness when it first started." Aodan's eyes had lost their happiness, and he stared out into the forest with a the resigned sadness of a man far older than thirteen. "The Purge took years and years to reach our outpost. We'd heard rumors, of course. Dragons being slaughtered, the talk was. No one wanted to believe it, and we didn't have any seers in our clan to tell us truth from lies. By the time reality finally set in…" He paused, and sniffed. "Well, Pendragon had already trained his son up well enough to kill by then. We weren't prepared. My mother made me run."
Merlin was watching Aodan's face, but eventually looked away, ashamed of himself. It wasn't his fault, not really. But was it? This was his duty, to these people, to this land, to magic. Arthur was, in respect to the druids, Merlin's responsibility. And he'd failed miserably so far. Arthur may have been the Once and Future King, but Merlin was Emrys. And Emrys was supposed to know the answer, supposed to provide a way. But out of everyone, Emrys was the man who knew the least about anything. Merlin ran a shaky hand over his face, feeling once again the weight of destiny and unwanted responsibility on his shoulders. He'd fled out here to escape it. It was following him, it seemed. "I'm so sorry," Merlin said, surprised to hear how thick his voice had become.
"It's not your fault, Emrys," Aodan replied. Before he could stop himself, Merlin snapped back,
"Don't call me that!" Aodan jumped at the bite in the words. "I-I'm sorry," Merlin stuttered, "I'm sorry, Aodan, I didn't…" he sighed, and Aodan saw how his hands were shaking. "It's… That's not really my name, you know."
"It is, though."
"It's not!" he said, forgetting again that he spoke to a child. "I'm Merlin, my name is Merlin!." He cried, almost desperately.
Aodan was looking at him, unafraid, but obviously unsure of what to do. He watched the older man for a while. It was Merlin's turn to hide his face. "Is that what your parents named you?" Aodan asked.
"My mother," Merlin told him, and he wasn't sure why he was opening up like this to a dirty, orphan druid. Perhaps because there was no one else. "My father… I didn't know him, growing up."
"He left?" Aodan's tone was benign, but there was a subtext of condescension in his voice.
"He fled," Merlin corrected defensively. "Yours weren't the only parents Uther hunted. I met my father only once, a few years ago, before he was killed."
Aodan's expression was unreadable. "He had magic like you?"
"Yes," Merlin didn't say anything about the dragon tongue.
"Did he teach you how to use it, then?"
Merlin sighed. "In his own way."
"You knew you were Emrys, then, when you met him?"
Merlin frowned at the question. "Well, yes."
Aodan squinted at him. "Then why are you here?"
The query left Merlin nonplussed. Why was he here? Well, he was eating his dinner. Was, at least, until this… this waif came along. He'd been camping, enjoying a sunny day, away from Camelot, away from Gaius, and Gwen, and the knights, away from Arthur. He was… leaving. He wasn't running away. He wasn't a coward. He was making a conscious choice to fulfill his destiny in a way that would be better for everyone. But why did he have to explain himself to a child?
"None of your business."
Aodan watched him as though he could read thoughts. "He can't make in on his own, if you run away, you know."
Merlin was growing irritated. "I'm not running away."
"Walking away then, if you're keen on semantics," Aodan said, suddenly sounding far more intelligent and… witty than the sloblike mess that had stolen Merlin's dinner an hour ago. It was a change that the warlock did not appreciate. "But you can't walk away. If you know you're Emrys, and you know how to use your magic, you have to go back to Arthur."
It was the first time Aodan had said Arthur's name. "You should hate him, you know, he killed your entire clan," it was a barb more hurtful than Merlin would ever normally use. "Why do you care if he gets along better with or without me?"
"Because there will always be more," Aodan said, voice strong, "until you're able to turn a Pendragon into a king, there will always be more druids, more parents, more people like me. It won't ever stop if you run away." Aodan watched him. "And you know it."
Merlin did know it. But could he really stop it? Could he really do any good, staying so close? That's why he'd chosen to leave. Why didn't this boy understand? "If Arthur ever finds out about my magic, all will go to hell," He told the boy, who he'd forgotten was a boy because he spoke like a man, "I can't stick around and wait for that to happen. I'm not running from destiny. I'm just running from Arthur." And Merlin felt surprised at his own words when he'd finished. Aodan hadn't batted an eyelid.
"But isn't that the same thing?"
"Have you even read the prophecies?"
"No!" Merlin was suddenly on his feet, face angry. "No, I haven't even laid eyes on them! You know more about me than I do. You know more about destiny that I've ever had the chance to learn, and you seem to bloody well know what Arthur is capable of, what he needs to become, but you're not the one who has to get him there! I don't know what I'm doing. I never have. I don't know what I'm supposed to do, or how, or even why, all I know is that somehow I ended up as the most powerful sorcerer in existence who's so damned afraid that he's been lying to his best friend every day since they met, and now has some druid boy reprimanding him for trying to keep the betrayal from growing any worse!"
In the silent pause that followed his outburst, Merlin felt a blanket of bitter anger come over him. Bitterness over the subject of destiny, of Arthur's friendship which he knew he would lose, over how tired he was. Anger because of Aodan, who Merlin couldn't decide was stupid, annoying, or telling the truth.
"Would you forgive him?"
"If he lied to you about something every day, if he were afraid of you, and it all came out, would you forgive him?"
In truth, Merlin was having trouble mustering the imagery. "Well, of course I would."
"Then surely he'll do the same for you, if he ever finds out."
"No, no… That's different," Merlin said. "Arthur hates magic, magic killed both of his parents, cost him his kingdom,"
"And a Pendragon cost you your father and your freedom," Aodan said easily, "and yet you say that he is your best friend."
"That's because… that's because I know it doesn't have to be like that. Because I know Arthur. He doesn't know the first thing about me."
"Does he?"
Merlin wanted to shout NO at the top of his lungs, but something about Aodan's tone stopped him.
…did he?
"You are magic, Emrys. Whether you like it or not." Merlin looked up at the boy, wondering how such a dirty, irreverent ruffian could sound like a sage. "Arthur Pendragon has been friends with Magic for a long time. What he knows about you, he knows about Magic. Real Magic. The rest is a matter of clarification." Merlin was frozen, stock still, watching Aodan's eyes. There was something deep and resonate in those eyes, and for some reason, Merlin knew in that moment he would remember the boy's words – no matter if he ever wanted to forget them or not – for as long as he lived. "But he can't know Magic if there's no Magic around. You have to go back. Clarify. Teach. Forgive." Aodan smiled. "Be a friend. In time, he'll do the same."
Merlin stared, still frowning, part of him still wanting to fight, but eventually, he lifted his head up with a sigh. He tore his eyes from the boy after a while, and poked at the dying embers of his fire. He could smell dusk coming.
"Do you have magic, Aodan?" He asked after a long quiet.
"No," The boy answered, looking just as disgusting as before, but sounding so much… more. "but I can sense it." Merlin frowned at him.
"How do you mean?"
"Magic, I can… read it. Smell it. Taste it. Tell you if it's good or bad. I can see what it touches, watch enchantments form. Pick out the strands and intricacies. I breath it, eat it, bathe in it, but… I can't use it."
Merlin frowned. "I'm sorry," He said.
Aodan smiled, his eyes crinkling slightly. "You would say that. But you shouldn't."
Merlin wasn't quite sure what he meant by that, but he smiled anyway. The two sat in silence for a long while after that, and watched as the sun and the fire finally died in the darkening sky.
"I suppose I ought to go," Merlin said offhandedly into the dark, and rose. Two eyes peered up at him from the forest floor. He regarded them ruefully. "You're not surprised, I suppose."
Aodan giggled. "No."
"Are you ever?"
"Not often."
Merlin squinted at him, and smiled. "I hope we meet again, Aodan." He wouldn't have ever wanted to say it until that moment. "Until then, thank you."
Aodan smiled back. "Thank you, Emrys. Your destiny isn't an easy one. Just know, bearing your burden doesn't forbid you from friendship, from forgiveness. Magic doesn't work that way."
"How do you know?"
"It told me."
And before Merlin could as what exactly he meant by that, Aodan was gone.
After one last glance and shake of his head, Merlin shouldered his pack, turned his face back toward Camelot, and braced himself for a life back in Destiny. The starlit sky twinkled above like nothing very remarkable had happened that day, but the magic seen by a dirty orphan knew better than to believe it.

Milwaukee aldermen OK advisory referendum on same-day voter registration
The Common Council on Tuesday approved placing an advisory referendum on the April 2 ballot asking city voters whether they favor same-day voter registration.
Same-day registration proved to be popular in Milwaukee in the November general election: one in five voters, or an estimated 54,000 residents, registered to vote on election day. Now, proponents of the advisory referendum say they want to send a strong message to Republicans who control both houses of the Legislature to leave same-day registration alone.
The 11-4 vote came after a contentious debate that included several procedural votes. Voting yes were Aldermen Milele Coggs, the lead sponsor; Ashanti Hamilton; Joe Davis; Nik Kovac; Bob Bauman; Jim Bohl; Willie Wade; Robert Puente; Jose Perez; Tony Zielinski; and Common Council President Willie Hines.
Voting against were Aldermen Bob Donovan, Michael Murphy, Terry Witkowski and Joseph Dudzik.
Mayor Tom Barrett had said earlier he would sign the measure if the council passed it.
The question on the ballot will state: "Should the state of Wisconsin continue to permit citizens to register to vote at the polls on election day?"
While all council members indicated they supported same-day registration, some said they didn't believe a referendum was the best way to express support for a practice that has helped make Wisconsin one of the highest voter turnout states in the country.
Some concerns were raised that a referendum - even one that would be expected to pass in Milwaukee - could be risky because of the traditionally low turnout in spring elections. "You may not get the results you're looking for," Bauman said.
But several citizens, including the Rev. Willie Brisco, president of Milwaukee Inner-city Congregations Allied for Hope, and Pastor Gregory Lewis of St. Gabriel's Church of God in Christ, assured aldermen they would launch an extensive get-out-the-vote initiative to achieve a strong majority in favor of same-day registration.
"I will knock on doors and get people out to vote myself," Brisco said.
As an alternative, Murphy had backed a plan in which the council would have gone on record in favor of same-day registration and would have directed the city's lobbyist to oppose any legislation scaling it back. He said referendum questions ought to be approved in a judicious manner.
Murphy's plan was backed by the council's Judiciary and Legislation Committee, which met before the council meeting. But the full council never voted on Murphy's measure.
The final vote did not come easily, nor quickly. At times, debate became heated, especially between Dudzik and Hamilton.
As chairman of the Judiciary and Legislation Committee, Hamilton took exception to Dudzik's suggestion that the public had not been given a chance to express its opinion on Coggs' proposal. Several citizens spoke at the committee meeting.
And when the idea of placing the proposal on hold surfaced, other aldermen protested.
"If you hold it, you kill it," Kovac said.
While some aldermen said more discussion and public input was needed, the council was working under a time constraint. To get the referendum on the April ballot, the council, under state law, had to send the ballot question to the Election Commission by next Tuesday. The council was not scheduled to meet again before that deadline.
The measure is expected to cost $10,000 to $20,000 to put on the ballot, according to Neil Albrecht, executive director of the Milwaukee Election Commission.
While turnout in November was 87% of registered voters, Albrecht said spring elections generally have lower turnouts.
Gov. Scott Walker has said he favors ending same-day registration but later added he would not sign a measure if it costs $5.2 million over two years. That is the amount the Government Accountability Board has estimated it would cost to end the practice.
To date, no bill has emerged in the Legislature that would undo same-day registration.
One Wisconsin Now, a left-of-center advocacy organization, applauded the council's decision, as did United Wisconsin, an advocacy group that sought to recall Walker.

Baseball for stats are a more indivudually driven stat structure where as hockey has there stats more team or line structured. When a guy is up to bat it his him vs the pitcher, when someone is on the ice, it is not a one to one battle, there are 5 other guys on the ice who are on his team and to achieve the goal it will take joint venture. While there are some stats that can be used such as number of shots or shooting percentage, it would come down to how you view the stats.
Is a shot on goal the same as a hit or is goal the same as a hit?
Some guys get lots of shots on net but do not score becuase they have a week shot and unless you have a greater breakdown of the speed of the shot being taken by each player, it would be difficult to figure out that even though he has a lots of shots, the reason he is not scoring more may not be because the goalies are good, it is that the shots are bad
People get really trapped in this idea that it's about stats. It is not about stats. At all.
It is about data.
In baseball it turned out that a lot of the historically recorded stats are also useful data for the purposes of understanding the game.
In hockey that is much less true.
But that has little bearing on the question of whether or not the game can be understood better through data. It just means that a bigger investment will have to be made to acquire, refine, and exploit the really useful data.
Look what the guys over at STATS are doing with SportVU:
Using tracking algorithms, it would not be difficult to extract the X/Y position of every player on the ice for every second of every game. With a bit more development, it would be possible to track the puck's X/Y position, perhaps even it's Z coordinate.
I have a lot of trouble believing that that data, competently analyzed (heck, even incompetently analyzed) wouldn't produce a wealth of information exploitable in both coaching and personnel decisions.

Yesterday we celebrated the 102nd Anniversary of the Army Reserves. To honor that anniversary, sixty soldiers in the Army Reserve reenlisted at the fifth annual National Capitol Reenlistment Ceremony on Capitol Hill. Visit the "My Army Reserve" for pictures and a special message from Lt. Gen. Jack Stultz, Chief Army Reserve and Commander Army Reserve Command.
But what exactly is life like for the men and women of the Army Reserves? We asked one Reservist - Ronald Cameau - to shed some light on his experiences…
USO: Army Reserve - it's probably a term that people hear a lot, but what does it actually mean as far as where and how you serve? Ronald Cameau: A reservist is a Service Member who serves in a branch of the military in a part-time capacity (minimum one weekend a month, two full weeks a year) or in a time of war (which is when you become "Active Duty"). With regards to location for the Reservist, we are typically assigned to a unit that is within 50 miles from our home.
USO: Why did you join in the first place? RC: I wanted to join the Army Reserve without having a full-time obligation to the military, to learn IT skills that would help me be successful. Being a part of the military is a means to make my resume look good, and lastly, patriotism.
[caption id="attachment_2141" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Army Reservists Ronald Cameau flies over Camp Bucca, Iraq in 2005."][/caption]
USO: What's the toughest part about integrating back into your non-military life? RC: I have two perspectives of integrating back into civilian life. My 1st deployment was in 2005 and I was single with no child, so my integration back into my full-time "civilian" life was somewhat normal. I guess my only issue was reintegrating with friends and figuring out what the latest style of clothes were.

#Localizing the Post-2015 Agenda
On the 14th and 15th of October 2014 it took place the High-Level Global Dialogue on Localizing the Post-2015 Development Agenda, hosted by the City of Turin. The 2-day event was co-organized by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the UN Human Settlement Programme (UN-Habitat), on behalf of the United Nations Development Group (UNDG), and the Global Task Force of Local and Regional Governments, and co-hosted by Ecuador, Ghana and Italy. Click here to read the agenda.
The event gathered senior representatives from national and local governments/local government associations, the UN System, CSOs, the private sector, the youth and foundations, who took part in the local and national dialogues, held in 13 countries, and in the regional and global dialogues organized in partnership with global networks of local and regional authorities, the European Union and some foundations.
The co-host countries of the Dialogues on Localizing the Post-2015 Agenda - Ecuador, Ghana and Italy - were respectively represented by Mr. Pabel Muñoz, Minister Secretary General of Planning and Development, Ms. Hanna Tetteh, Minister for Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration and Mr. Antonio Cassese, Deputy Director General for Development Cooperation, Plenipotentiary Minister, who read a message on behalf of Ms. Federica Mogherini, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Italy.
The two-day conference presented a platform for effective sharing of experiences and lessons learnt from the implementation of the MDGs and perspectives for the future implementation of the SDGs. It represented an avenue to highlight the dependence of the successful implementation of the Post-2015 Agenda on local action and leadership, in partnership with all other levels of governments; thereby, reaffirming that "any new development agenda will only have an impact on people's lives if it is successfully implemented at the local level".
Building on the local, national, regional and global dialogues, as well as the cross-cutting messages and principles that emerged from the six dialogues carried out on the means of implementing the new agenda, the participants and co-leads of the High Level Global Dialogue on Localizing the Post-2015 Development Agenda approved the following key messages:
- Local and Regional Governments (LRGs) are essential for promoting inclusive sustainable development within their territories and, therefore, are necessary partners in the implementation of the Post-2015 agenda.
- Effective local governance can ensure the inclusion of a diversity of local stakeholders, thereby creating broad-based ownership, commitment and accountability.
- An integrated multi-level and multi-stakeholder approach is needed to promote transformative agendas at the local level.
- Strong national commitment to provide adequate legal frameworks and institutional and financial capacity to local and regional governments is required.

You may have seen "Major Organ and the Adding Machine" in Athens two years ago, and if you did, you probably still have a lot of questions.
Mostly, what was that all about?
"That's the proper response," said Eric Harris, an Elf Power member who also played a big role in making the short Athens movie. "It's supposed to be something for the whole family to ponder."
On Saturday night at the 40 Watt, you can watch this movie and ponder afterward while Elf Power plays.
The movie, which was released commercially earlier this month, is the opening act.
"Most nights, it gets a pretty good response," Harris said.
We could try to explain the movie here, but the plot is faint to say the least. Then again, that's kind of the point.
"It's a kids movie, so we have a license to have fun and be silly," Harris said. "It's definitely a movie that tries to be thought-provoking.
"The characters' motives aren't laid out for you. You have to decide who is good and who is bad."
The film lasts just 25 minutes, but it took more than two years to take from a finished product to commercially available. You can pick up a copy - with the soundtrack from the mysterious Major Organ band, no less - at local record stores.
If you look real close, you'll see every member of Elf Power in the flick, Harris said. They'll be much more recognizable on stage Saturday.
Elf Power is a member of the Athens-born Elephant 6 Collective, which also includes bands like The Apples in Stereo and Of Montreal and has its hands all over "Major Organ."
Like Of Montreal, Elf Power has a new record to tour for. The group's tenth album - this one is self-titled - dropped two weeks ago on the also-local Orange Twin label.
Strangely enough, the new album has a similar mystical feel to the movie. The psychedelic wall of experiment sounds awfully familiar, as if Elf Power and Major Organ could be the same band.
Harris addresses that assumption the way he talks about the film's plot.
He isn't telling.

Aiken Standard (Newspaper) - January 16, 1989, Aiken, South Carolina Aiken Countv Public Library Sports Steve Jones Wins Hope Classic Page 7 A A Quick Read Aiken Prep, Day Schools To Merge Aiken Preparatory School and Aiken Day School will merge in July, Dr. David J. Devey announced Sunday. Dr. Devey, headmaster of Aiken Preparatory School, will act as headmaster on the new campus as well. James A. Polk, the current headmaster of Aiken Day School, will have a chief administrative post. The merger means a combined board of trustees and the assimilation of the professional staffs and all students, he said. The name of the new school will be Aiken Preparatory School. All classes, pre-kindergarden through ninth, will be held on the current Aiken Preparatory School campus, where there is plenty of space to accommodate the expected 130 students. Although many details have not yet been worked out — such as what will happen to the grounds of the Aiken Day School when the students begin classes in the Aiken Preparatory School in September — the trustees intend for the school to remain small, personal and academically oriented, Dr. Devey said. "People are delighted about the merger," he &id. "It will be good for the Aiken community." Dr. Devey said the merger was a natural process brought on by a desire to expand Aiken Preparatory School and improve the programs at both schools. "Aiken Preparatory School was founded in 1916 and Aiken Day School in 1933," he said. "The two have worked together for many years, much like two parts of one family." "We thought of expanding Aiken Preparatory School to include kin-dergarden, first, second and third grades as part of a long range plan, so it seemed natural to merge with an associate school. We thought the programs at both schools would be enhanced," he said. Special committees from both schools worked together for months before recommending to each board the merits of combining the operations. The trustees unanimously concluded the new school would provide an outstanding educational experience for the children, Dr. Devey said. Weather This afternoon will be sunny, with a high near 60.Tonight will be fair, with a low near 30. Tomorrow will be partly cloudy with highs near 60. Please see Page 5A for details.

About 40 people remained in critical condition today, according to one hospital official, who spoke on condition of anonymity. The 10-car express train and seven-car mail train slammed into each other Sunday outside the farming village of Maizdi Khan, sending cars tumbling and tossing passengers into freshly-harvested rice paddies. The express train was traveling at about 50 mph, the mail train coming to a halt, authorities said. Communications Secretary Mazurul Karim estimated that more than 2,000 people were aboard the trains, many of them Moslem pilgrims. He said, however, that people routinely ride between the cars and on the roofs, making a precise count difficult. The government appointed a commission to investigate the collision and ordered that the panel's findings be ready within two weeks. It declared today a day of mourning. Shortly after the accident, senior officials of the state-run railroad said they suspected operators may not have known how to properly work a sophisticated dig ital signaling system installed five days earlier. "Human failure and wrong signaling may have caused the two trains to come on the same track, leading to the collision," said one official, who spoke on condition of anonymity. But Communications Minister Anwar Hossain disputed their suspicions, saying more than 200 trains had traveled on the track since the system was installed Tuesday.

Bush will busy in Washington this week preparing for :riday's inauguration. Issues Expected To Key Hearings By The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Presidentelect Bush's choice of a moderate, pragmatic cabinet means the confirmation process that begins this week will lack the ideological overtones of the Reagan years and instead offer debate on substantive issues. The Democrats who control Congress are likely to use the sessions to force Bush's nominees to say how they will carry out their boss' campaign promises to tend to neglected social programs in a time of extreme fiscal austerity, and to test the strength of Bush's no-new-taxes pledge. "They will want to build a record for why new revenues are going to be needed," said Charles Cook, a Washington political analyst. "The Democrats are going to let the nominees build their case for them." Initial reactions on Capitol Hill to Bush's cabinet selections have been generally positive. The majority of those named are veterans of federal government service. Three are holdovers from the Reagan administration, five others have been previously confirmed by the Senate for other jobs, and four are former members of Congress. Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell, D-Maine, has said he is impressed with the appointees as a group and expects the Senate to work well with them. "They are generally experienced, hopefully pragmatic people, and we won't have the rigid ideology of the first Reagan term," Mitchell said. "I am trying very hard to establish from our side an atmosphere of cooperation and bipartisanship." Mitchell said he will seek speedy confirmation for the appointees following committee scrutiny, with the first batch going to the Senate floor for votes on Jan. 25. (Please See BUSH, Page 6A) Foreign Policy Hints From Bush Indicate Changes By BARRY SCHWEID The Associated Press WASHINGTON - President-elect George Bush said so little about his view f the world during the campaign it is ard to predict his foreign policy, but ince winning the White House he has ropped some serious hints. These indicate he will slow down nego-ations with the Soviet Union to reduce mg-range nuclear weapons while taking softer approach on Nicaragua. Also, ush is not a good bet to push the U.S. trategic Defense Initiative very hard. If the hints turn into facts, Bush will ave diverged significantly from Ronald Shultz Arrives In Vienna..............Page 2A Reagan on all three points. Even so, the change would be one of degree and not a radical shift. Bush and his Secretary of State, James A. Baker III, evidently want time to reflect and to feel their way. They are likely to focus at the start on cultivating the North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies and improving relations with Japan, an economic powerhouse that increasingly appears at cross-purposes with the United States on trade and fiscal issues. Bush has indicated he will continue the recent Reagan administration policy of firing "rifle shot" trade sanctions at economic allies who discriminate against U.S. goods to "show our determination to have fair trade and equal access." Reagan started slowly, too, holding off any serious action on arms control for IO months while damning Moscow with traditional right-wing rhetoric. However, Reagan wound up holding five summit meetings with Soviet President Mikhail S. Gorbachev and signing a treaty to abolish intermediate-range nuclear missiles — those that carry from 300 to 3,000 miles. Bush clearly isn't planning to reverse the trend. 'I am impressed with what Mr. Gorba chev says and I really think he wants better relations," Bush said in a recent television interview. "I think he's fully committed to perestroika and glasnost. And I don't think you can put the genie back into the bottle once you open it and lighten up a little there." But the resumption of U.S.-Soviet negotiations on a strategic arms reduction treaty may be postponed for several months. Already, Bush has said a "detailed point-by-point program" cannot be ready by Feb. 15, the tentative date for negotiators to return to the table in Geneva.

Martin Luther King Jr. on what would have been his 60th birthday by urging a new generation to use — not confuse or abuse — the rights they enjoy because of his struggles. Today is a federal holiday honoring the slain civil rights leader, and the commemorations included the swearing in of the first blacks on the Dallas County (Ala.) Commission in more than a century. The ceremony was scheduled for Selma, where King began the 1965 Selma-to-Montgomery march that resulted in passage of the Voting Rights Act. The Liberty Bell in Philadelphia was to be symbolically tapped today and church and school bells were being rung in Michigan. Golfers were to tee off in a suburban Los Angeles tournament benefiting King's Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and the Rev. Jesse Jackson was scheduled as the featured speaker at King's church in Atlanta. President-elect Bush was planning to attend an ecumenical prayer breakfast AP Laserphoto REMEMBERED: The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. is honored today. organized by the Inaugural Afro-American Committee in Washington. Other (Please See NUMEROUS, Page 6A) USCA Service Honors Civil Rights Leader By DENISE STUBBS Staff Writer On April 4, 1968, a shot rang out in Memphis, Tenn. A bullet from a sniper's gun brought to rest the leader of the greatest civil rights movement America has ever known. So ended the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Born sixty years ago on Jan. 15, this Atlanta native spurred the black freedom movement into motion. He turned rallies into crusades, local conflicts into national issues and motivated boys to become men in the face of great adversity. Even though Dr. King's final breath came on that fateful day 21 years ago, echoes of his words, and the cries of his ministry still ring throughout a nation that continues to strive for a balance of justice and freedom for all. To commemorate Dr. King and his ac complishments, USC Aiken presented Dr. Patricia Russell-McCloud to speak at its Annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Service Sunday night. The ceremony, filled with singing from the USCA Vocal Ensemble and comments from USCA Chancellor Dr. Robert E. Alexander and Eileen Menefee, director of Minority Resources and Affirmative Action, lifted the spirit of inspiration and dedication. Dr. Russell-McCloud, an attorney originally from Indianapolis, Ind., and president of Russell-McCloud and Associates, spoke to the audience at the Etherredge Center about their responsibility in continuing the effort toward social, racial and ethnical freedom. To commemorate the man who started the civil rights movement, who bore the burden and paid the price to change the face of America, Dr. Russell-McCloud challenged the audience to look in themselves to find what it takes to continue the quest begun by Dr. King. "We have come to the point that the answer is within us," she said. "It's upon us to dare to be different. In life, you only (Please See USCA, Page 6A) ;

Russia-Ukraine conflict hits close to home for new U.S. citizens
MISSOULA, Mont. - A group of 30 immigrants were sworn in as new U.S. citizens on Thursday at the federal courthouse in Missoula, including several people with a lot at stake in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
Ukrainian immigrant Tetyana Matveyeva says she is saddened and hurt by the crisis in her home country.
"My mom's there. I have a lot of friends there. I have a lot of relatives there," said Matveyeva. "It's very sad and painful. I love my country. I pity my people, because I wish for them the best life."
She says she hopes her mother can one day join her in the U.S., and she's hopeful about her own future in the states.
"I cannot believe it's happened… It was my dream, really my dream to see America, to live between mountains," said Matveyeva. "A dream come true."
Along with Matveyeva, the group of new citizens Thursday was represented by 19 different countries.
In the fiscal year of 2013, more than three quarters of a million immigrants were naturalized nationwide.

A festive mood can be conjured up with warm light, unusual decorations and Christmas sounds and scents. When the pre-Christmas rush is over and the gifts have been bought, they just have to be placed beneath the tree. For children, getting the right presents sets the tone of the Christmas celebrations. Adults on the other hand value the quiet and contemplative time that follows on from an often-stressful Advent. When the scent of cinnamon, cardamom, cloves and aniseed wafts from the kitchen, the stage is already set for a Christmas atmosphere. To make sure not just our noses but also our ears are ready for the holidays, typical Christmas songs like "Silent Night" or "Jingle Bells" enhance the Christmas mood at home as quiet background music. A Christmas crib, evergreen boughs decorated with stars made from straw, a fruit basket filled with apples, nuts and oranges, and of course the brightly illuminated and attractively decorated Christmas tree round off the Christmas mood.
Tasteful company gifts for Christmas
Once the 4th Sunday in Advent comes and the fourth candle is lit on the Advent wreath, Christmas Eve will be just round around the corner. Depending on what day of the week Christmas Day falls on, there will be no more than seven days left before giving and receiving gifts! While children are sure to be looking forward to this day with great anticipation, for most adults this is when the pre-Christmas stress reaches its peak. After all, there is a lot to do before the festive day arrives. Everything has to be planned and organised in detail, and gifts have to be bought for everyone. It was Jean-Paul Sartre who described Christmas as the feast of joy, and this joy is passed on to family members, friends and work colleagues on Christmas Day in the shape of small gifts.
A voucher – the perfect Christmas gift
Once the third Sunday in Advent comes around, the third candle will already be lit on the Advent wreath. Christmas Day is drawing closer, and with it the time for giving and receiving gifts. Not everyone was wise enough to take care of buying Christmas gifts for their loved ones back in October or November in order to avoid the pre-Christmas stress. And often it's not that easy to find the right gift. Even if you know your partner, your sister or your niece very well for example, you make not always strike gold when it comes to choosing their Christmas present. If you want to avoid doing your Christmas shopping at the very last minute and prevent Christmas from becoming a fiasco, it might be better to give some vouchers.
Stylish little gifts from St. Nicholas
The 6th of December is St. Nicholas' Day. The day is celebrated in a variety of different ways, not just in Germany. In some places, St. Nicholas comes into the house and reads aloud from his golden book, telling children whether they were good during the year or whether they gave their parents trouble. St. Nicholas gives sweets and little gifts to the good children, while the naughty children are punished with his stick. Elsewhere, tradition dictates that St. Nicholas has a companion who is responsible for punishing the children. In central Germany, this companion is known as "Knecht Ruprecht", while in Bavaria he is known as "Krampus". He is also called Knecht Ruprecht in the north of Germany, where St. Nicholas' Day is traditionally heralded by the "Sunnerklauslaufen", when – similar to Halloween – groups of children in costumes go from house to house to recite a poem or sing a song in return for sweets. However, many children don't get to see the giver of gifts at all. On the evening beforehand, they hang their empty socks on the mantelpiece or place their winter boots outside the door. St. Nicholas secretly fills them with his gifts and, the next morning, the children's eyes are filled with delight.
A somewhat different Advent calendar
The first Sunday of Advent marks the lighting of the first candle on the Advent wreath, while the second Sunday of Advent already sees two candles lighting. The anticipation in advance of Christmas is increasing from week to week. If you prefer to count the days rather than the weeks to Christmas Eve, there are lots of different ways to do so. The easiest way is to use a tally list. Simply mark 24 lines on a board and wipe off one of the lines each day from December 1st. If you have already set up the crib, you can use pieces of straw to count down the days. You have to place 24 pieces of straw beside the crib and then add a piece of straw to the crib each day from December 1st. However, the nicest way to shorten the time left to Christmas is an Advent calendar.
A stylish and festive feel for home and garden
Advent, advent, a candle is burning. First one, then two, then three, then four, then the Christkind is at your door. Although shop windows are decorated for Christmas and supermarket shelves are piled high with gingerbread, Christmas cake and other festive foods at the end of September already, the pre-Christmas period does not actually start until the beginning of Advent. That is always the fourth Sunday before the 25th of December, which this year falls on the 27th of November. As the little rhyme above suggests, a candle is lit on every Sunday in Advent. This means that the first Sunday in Advent starts with a candle.

Stargazers – Like spending a night in space
The summer is quickly drawing to a close, and although the sun is still shining a lot during the day, the nights are already chillier. That's when the autumnal night sky is often particularly beautiful: The stars are already clearly visible early in the evening on account of the earlier sunset, and stellar constellations appear more vivid as a result, making it easier for the non-experts amongst us to recognise them. Of course if you enjoy watching the stars in the autumn sky, you won't be easily put off by a little chilly weather. Instead you will make your way out into the fresh autumnal air with a blanket and a thermos flask. But if you still have a few days' vacation to play with, we have a different suggestion for you: The Kakslauttanen glass igloos in Finland, where you can sleep under the starry sky without having to give up your creature comforts.
Perfectly prepared for the Halloween party with designer products
The 31st of October is Halloween. The feast day has its origins in Ireland, and spread as far afield as North America through emigration. Now, though, Halloween customs have become established in many other countries in Europe. After all, we all love a good scare! For example, in Germany the popular Halloween parties take place at the end of October. Apart from the costumes, the most important aspect of a party held on the 31st of October involves the spooky decorations. The lights are turned off, the walls are decorated with black materials, and pumpkin lanterns are hung up. The cold snacks on offer are made to look like bloody fingers, spiders or small beetles.
Highlights from all over the globe: The tree bar Baobab in South Afrika
In a time when technology and progress are everywhere, nature is increasingly becoming a place of longing for recuperation and recreation. Particularly on vacation, lots of people consider the unspoilt beauty of nature worthy of a trip. While the flora and fauna can seem rather tame especially in western Europe and other densely populated parts, elsewhere there are still real gems to be discovered. The Big Baobab Bar in Modjadjiskloof in the South African province of Limpopo is a particularly impressive example of the untouched beauty of nature in all its glory.

Holiday shoppers are being warned to be on the lookout for stolen toys this year, after an alleged Lego bandit was caught with thousands of dollars worth of the stolen bricks.
West Vancouver Police constable Jeff Wood says the man was caught after an officer pulled him over for speeding through a construction zone.
"He pulled the gentleman over and issued him a ticket, and he noticed there was a large amount of Lego in the back in duffle bags, and they weren't open, they were in boxes."
Wood says police connected the theft to a Lego heist earlier that day in Squamish.
Police in that city say the bricks had been lifted from a Wal Mart by a pair of men, and were worth just under $2300. Even more shocking – one of the men allegedly returned just a week later — and was caught with a further $750 worth of the stolen bricks.
Hot for the holidays
Lego products are always hot gift items this time of year, and can be a popular target for thieves because of their big price tag. The manager of one local toy retailer who asked not to be named says the bricks are the number one item shoplifted from his store, with most of them ending up on online sites like Craigslist.
Earlier this month, thieves in Hamilton, Ontario made off with $20,000 worth of the toys. Police in several US cities have netted hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of the hot bricks in busts.
News Release – Detectives investigating break in at Toys R US store https://t.co/fLml1FdEPM #LEGO pic.twitter.com/LvC9NZjAq3
— Hamilton Police (@HamiltonPolice) November 19, 2015
That has Wood warning consumers to be careful about where they get the toys from.
"We are asking the public, be aware. If you are on Craigslist, or Kijiji, or whatever on the internet, and you're seeing Lego, which is a hot commodity in this Christmas season, we do ask that you're very wary of where it's coming from, and if it's possible that it is stolen, let your local police know."
Wood says it's good policy to ask sellers for a receipt, or some other proof of purchase.

@NorthPointLIVE May the Lord richly bless you all at North Point Ministries in all that you do. Yours in Christ, Dave Smith.
When we face pain and loss, they change the story we had planned for our lives. They can end our dreams. But what do pain and loss look like when we try to see the world as God sees the world, and to do as God says?

Yes the last time I got my message yall couldn't understand too much was not fitting into together. Anyways I just wanted to ask why is it that when I go on my Forums I still see my orginal e-mail address. I had that email address on my playertag since 09 of May. I already have changed it in the past like 3 times already. On the Sonyentertainment website its updated and I just got signed on Playstation forum last July cause I had network troubles and your 1-800 number told me to write it on forums because they only were warranty technical support and I remember like last April is when I first changed my e-mail address cause of the network issues I been having, now I have already looked into recoverying my orignal e-mail address, but it is gone and can't be recover. I try going to different e-mail addresses, but still having issues with the network like my CALL OF DUTY ELITE won't link when I am on when I already did change my email address . It comes up Error with the server not communitcating and I already called ACTVISION about it and also delete and redownload it, but nothing won't let me link it back. So I'm wondering if my original e-mail address has it link to everything I change from my gamertag like someone recover the e-mail address and anything that gets changed or added on my gamertag gets a e-mail to it. I hope this will be more understanding then what I had told you last time anyways THANKS....
Re: EMAIL ADDRESS TECHINAL ISSUES!!!
Can you edit your post so that we can understand you instead of struggle to comprehend what you're problem is through that wall of text?
Re: EMAIL ADDRESS TECHINAL ISSUES!!!
The E-mail address that it shows on my forum profile is the one I used back when I set up my forum acct. (And the first one associated with my psn user name) I've changed my E-mail address through the acct management on my ps3 since then but it doesn't reflect the change on my forum profile's info.
Anyway, doesn't matter to me much but I guess I could see it bugging some.
