Legal Students Use Interactive Debates to Engage High School Students
Posted by Staff Writer on January 3, 2014
One of the best ways to learn the material in a class is to reteach it to others. This past quarter, students in the Legal Terminology class at Minnesota School of Business-Brooklyn Center (MSB) campus visited a group of high school students at Highview Alternative High School to discuss both the criminal justice field and the paralegal field.
The visit to the high school began with the legal students sharing what inspired each of them to begin studying their particular field. Kofi Montzka, executive program chair for the paralegal program and instructor for the class, said, "The messages that my students shared were vulnerable, powerful and encouraging. I was really proud of them."
Following introductions, the high school students learned about the criminal justice field and the paralegal field. Information about what each field is, how much school is required to obtain a degree, the types of jobs that a graduate might be interested in, and the duties that could come with those newly acquired jobs was explained. The MSB students also discussed the various types of law and how it might apply to certain situations, including self-defense and murder.
To add in an element of excitement for the young students, an interactive debate came next. The Highview students were split into groups and assigned an MSB student to act as a coach. The first debate was about a shooting that took place at a pharmacy. Everyone watched a surveillance video, and one small group put together an argument to represent the shooter while another group represented the pharmacist and argued that he killed in self-defense. The second debate dealt with a woman who shot at intruders who broke into her home. A newscast video was watched and arguments were again formed. According to Montzka, "The high school students worked really hard to come up with their arguments, and a lot of the information presented made for a great case."
To end the visit, MSB students did a question and answer session in addition to a short quiz. Katie Schroeder, a paralegal student, said, "I really liked going to the high school because it made me challenge myself by teaching the information to other people. It helped me to realize how much I am learning in my classes."
For more information on either the paralegal program or the criminal justice program at the Brooklyn Center campus, call 763-566-7777.

... to meet up with Lauren for dinner at 8 at Momofuku noodle bar. Corey and Lauren had ramen, one of the restaurant favorites, and I had a noodle bowl. We had a great time catching up and she gave Corey some great recommendations about restaurants and neighborhoods to check out. When we finished, I got "cereal milk" ice cream with cereal. Super delish. She also recommended the aquarium, which is new in town and pretty cool. They don't close til 11pm, so we said ...

The state's drought is claiming another Lake Oroville boat ramp. The Lake Oroville State Recreation Area (LOSRA) announced today that it will be closing its last launch paved ramp, located at Bidwell Canyon by August 20, due to dropping water levels.
According to the press release, in order to offering services to boaters, the Department of Water Resources (DWR) will be opening their Spillway Low Water Gravel Boat Ramp accessed from Spillway upper parking lot.
The Spillway Low Water Gravel Boat Ramp area will have a boarding float or dock which will be maintained by State Park's staff. There will be lighting set up for this area.
The area will be re-graveled and officials say that four wheel drive vehicles are highly recommended if accessing or launching from this area. The South Forebay and Afterbay will also remain open for power-boating recreation. Launching is available for non-motorized watercraft at the Diversion Pool, below the dam, and the North Forebay west of Highway 70.
Lake Oroville's aquatic recreational opportunities for kayaking, canoeing, paddle-boarding, and rowing remain available at the Forebay Aquatic Center. Bidwell Canyon and Lake Oroville Marina offer a wide variety of boat rentals to enjoy the uncrowded atmosphere provided on the lake.
To confirm public accessibility of Lake Oroville recreational opportunities, call the Lake Oroville Visitor Center at 530-538-2219.

An explosive argumentMature
Act 3
Miss Lofty: ...and this is Mr Fluffy Whiskers, and here's Lammy, and here's Mr Valley Tops, and here is Sir Wool at lot, and here is…
(The class is wild; Helpless TA is desperately trying to teach Chelsea how to breathe, Chantelle and Ryan are having sex as usual in Da Corner, Lucy is chatting on and on to Dean and Elliot, the nerds have taken shelter under the tables, Greg has started to grow annoyed to George's survival only attitude, so he wonders over to Lucy)
Greg: Hey Lucy.

(George walks off)
Greg: His helped me survive, and told me how to use this new Samsung phone Daz "got" for me and get a Facebook account, and also how to walk in disguise, but I don't seem to be knowing him like a friend, more like an instructor.
Lucy: Greg, George is just a little quiet and sensitive, like John Smith was, I'm sure he'll open up to you.
Greg: (Thinking): Yeah he'll really listen to me, ignoring me, treating me like I'm dumb or something, well it's time for revenge, a nice shock which will make him listen to me.
Greg (before Dean and Elliot can stop him): You know George really likes you.
(Dean and Elliot go pale, Lucy goes quiet)
Lucy: What…?
Greg: Oh he likes you a lot; he was talking all about you yesterday.
Rose: I can smell gossip.
Lily: I got raped!
Rose: No, secret gossip, like, like… (She listens in on Lucy and Greg)
Lucy: Are you pulling my leg?
Dean: Obviously.
Elliot: Yeah I mean George fancying Lucy, he would have owned up ages ago, I mean who follows there crush around for years without telling them, jeez.
Chelsea (very loudly): DOES THE WORD HYPOCRITE RING A BELL WITH YOU!
Dean: She doesn't mean that…
Elliot: Yeah this is Chelsea were talking about...
Thomas: What's going on here?
(The nerds assemble behind him)
Lucy: Thomas mad things are happening.
Greg: Chelsea's managed to pick up on sumthin' interesting…
Rose: I should write a newspaper, a school newspaper; this gossip would sell out faster than time magazine.
Lily: Would there be my rape in it?
Rose: Oh yes, now shut up listen.
Sanjeet: HELP ME THOMAS! CARION HAS ME!
Thomas: Err, help, err, do something, gang!
Rhys: DON'T LOOK AT US YOU'RE THE LEADER!

Sarah: Thomas you're our leader, you should have done something.
Thomas: Like what?
Rhys: GROW SO BALLS YOU WANKER!
Thomas: THAT'S A BIT RICH FROM SOMEONE WHO WEARS A NAPPY!
Rhys: YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE?! YOU ARE THE WORST NERD LEADER I'VE EVER SEEN, YOU JUST RUN TO THE BUNKER WHENEVER YOU SEE A CHAV, WELL DONE THOMAS! YOU REALLY TEACH US SOMETHING,RUN AWAY FROM THE ENEMY!
Thomas: IT'S EASY FOR YOU! TO SPIT OUT CRITICISM STANDING THERE AND…!!
Chantelle: What the fuck is that noise?
Charmaine: I think the non- chav's are having an orgy.
Charlie: Da Fuck, without us?
Chaniqua: How rude.
Aaron: No there not, there…
Gordon: Arguing…
Cairon (Dropping Sanjeet): What could they be arguing about?
John: I think that pink car thing got to them; you know the guilt of it all, it was Fake and Gay after all.
(Jack and Florence burst into the argument)
Jack: I have something to admit to the class!
Florence: NO, I SHALL SAY IT, YOU ART A FATHER, I AM PREGNANT!
(She collapses)
Thomas: Pregnant for the fifth time today
Rhys: GO THE FUCK AWAY YOU ATTENTION SEEKERS! PREGNANT MY ARSE! EVERYONE KNOWS YOUR BOTH STILL VIRGINS!
Jack: and you're not? still you're being rude man.
Florence: I know right.
Rhys: JUST FUCK OFF!
Jack: OH MY GOD DUDE, WHY DID YOU THREATEN ME? I WILL GET MY LAWYERS ON YOU I SAW MY WHOLE LIFE FLASH BEFORE MY EYES RIGHT THERE…!
Asif: Asif you have any lawyers…
Jack: I'm recounting all this hostility at the trail…
Francesco: Oh for God's sake…
Lucy: WHOA CAN WE GET BACK TO MAIN POINT!?
Florence: WHY TIS YOUR POINT THAT DIVERTS THE ATTENTION!? WHAT OF ME! WHAT OF MY LIFE!
Mohammed: NO ONE CARES!
George: What's this what's going on…?
Rose: Allow me to…
(The class starts to argue)
Rose: I CAN'T HEAR MYSELF…
Lucy: SORRY ROSE, WHAT WERE YOU GONNA SAY? I CAN'T HEAR YOU…!
Rhys: ...THOMAS GO BACK TO YOUR BUNKER AND NEVER COME OUT!
Thomas: You're pathetic Rhys!
Rhys: YOU ARE!
Asif: SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING!
Ahmed: Asif that will happen.
Sarah: Everyone can we try and get along!?
Dean: ...LUCY! IT IS NOT WHAT YOU THINK!
Florence: EVERYONE LOOK AT ME… THY ART…
Jaya: EVERYONE SHUT THE FUCK UP!
(Class goes quiet)
Jaya: Guys, we all have problems and there never going to get solved without us helping each other, for example I need to say more in class, and I need other people there for that to happen, don't you guys see? We worked as a team back on that pink bus, and mere days later were falling apart.
(Cricket chirping silence)
Jaya: That's all I have to say think about it.
(Just then Miss Noel enters)
Miss Noel: Wow, I never seen a class so quiet.
Miss Lofty: (Oblivious to the situation) It's my sheep miss, there intrigued.
Miss Noel: Yeah... (changing topic) Greg can you come to head's office please? He wants to see you.
Greg: Alright I'm going (Leaves classroom)
(Class returns to normal)
George: You know Jaya's right.
Lucy: She is George; I want to ask you something.
George: And that… (Just then Dean "accidently" falls on George)
Dean: Oh sorry mate
Greg: Mr Redwood you wanted to see me.
(His office is empty)
Greg: Must be early, I'll just wait here and…
(He gets no further, someone behind him hits him with a crowbar and he collapses onto the floor bleeding from the back of his head)
(Back in class)
Miss Lofty: What's that vibrating?
Chantelle: My Dildo!
Miss Lofty: Not that, why are the walls vibrating?
Chaniqua: I got a bigger dildo!
Miss Lofty: Not that something is wrong…
George (Shoving Dean off him) : You wanted to say Lucy?
Lucy: I wanted to know whether it was true about… (The room shakes)
Rhys: There are a gang of people outside.
Aaron: Shit, Black Crest's.
Thomas: What are they doing here?
Lucy: Why are there so many of them?
Cairon: Are they holding grenades?
Aaron: Shit there holding knives too…
Gordon: (Suddenly) I WANT MY MUM!
Gordon: I mean yeah because she and I could whup there asses.
Miss Lofty: NEVER MIND THAT THERE ATTACKING THE SCHOOL! EVERYONE GET DOWN…!
(Too late a grenade gets thrown through the window and explodes, derbies' fly everywhere and the school begins to collapse as the Black Crest students throw grenades into the building when the majority of White View has collapsed into rubble, the Black Crestor's cheer in celebration)
Black Crest Pupil: Headmaster sir, it's down.
Headmaster: Good, now bring me the survivors and lock them up, we want this public execution to make an impression on the non-chavs…
Black Crest Pupil: Sir Do we need "him"?
Headmaster: Him we save for the end, along with the others, I know where they are…

Your Official Guide to Calaveras County
In the midst of California's charming Gold Country and spectacular High Sierra is Calaveras County. Here, mountain sports, Gold Rush history and architecture combine with charming downtown shopping and casual culinary excellence. Add to the mix our inspired winemaking and thriving arts and entertainment and the combination makes for a fantastic family adventure destination.

Only The Beginning
Autumn 2007
"You'll do fine. It's only a new school-not a circus," my mother says. Ha! If only she knew. Being an acting school, PhoenixTail High does feel like a circus. Full of freaks who think they can act…and freaky people who actually can act really well. I'd be jealous of them, if they weren't so horrid.
"Remember, make friends," my mother had cooed but how can I when everybody's known each other and been together already for a year? But making friends never did come naturally to a 'little rich girl' like me.' Oh, look there she is; The Little Rich Girl who doesn't need any friends 'cause she's got daddy's money'.
"Ezme Winters…Ezme Winters…" That name catches my attention, unusual for a place out in the countryside like this new school of mine. A mousey-brown haired short girl (perhaps about my age-but her height deceives) walks timidly to the large teacher who is calling her. Hmm, mousey by appearance, and mousey by nature it seems too. Nice metaphor, I'll remember it for later life.
"Ezme, I called you to talk about your decision to change names…"
"Francis-It's my first name…" She trails off and stares absently into space, as though seeing scenes from a hidden life being played out right in front of her eyes. "FrankiE W…" she muses so quietly that I have to step forward out of the shadow I was in to hear it.
"Very well," lady says curtly, before suddenly spotting me. Gosh, in a new school, the amount of people who don't look at me; it's like I'm a ghost!
"Ah, it's you! Come this way, we have a lot of things to organize…"

JEFFERSON-Ashe County Schools won't be joining the courthouse and law enforcement center in putting "In God We Trust" on the exterior of its buildings.
That news comes from the Chairmen of both the Ashe County boards of Commissioners and Education, and despite locally donated funds that could pay for the effort.
It's just the latest in a series of decisions by local policymakers about placing the national motto in and on county owned buildings since the start of 2015.
According to Charlie King, the Chairman of the Ashe County Board of Education, his board made the decision not to place the phrase on the exterior of its school buildings at the board's meeting earlier this month.
King said the board made the call to keep the exterior of the system's schools like they are at present.
"We were approached about putting the sign 'In God We Trust' on the outside of the school buildings," King said. "There isn't any signage up at all right now and we decided just to leave it that way."
The decision, according to King, wasn't intended to pass judgment on the motto. He said the phrase is already visible in all of the district's classrooms.
"We offered to let them put the phrase in the common areas and anywhere else inside, just not on the exterior of the buildings," King said. "Take the high school, for instance. It doesn't even say, 'Ashe County High School,' on the building."
How'd we get here
In January, the Ashe County Board of Commissioners voted to add the phrase to the wall of the small courtroom of the county courthouse.
Three months later, on April 20, commissioners were approached by Rick Lanier, co-founder and vice-chairman of the U.S. Motto Action Committee to add the phrase "In God We Trust," to the exterior of government properties.
Lanier served as a Davidson County Commissioner from 1998-2002, and co-founded the U.S. Motto Action Committee in 2002. That's the same year Davidson County voted to display "In God We Trust," on their buildings.
That was a move the American Civil Liberties Union moved to block, which was upheld through a federal appeals court. The U.S. Motto Action Committee formed as a result of the legal battle, and the U.S. Supreme Court later rejected the appeal, which gave Davidson the right to keep the phrase on its buildings.
Since then, Lanier's committee has campaigned other government leaders to place the phrase on their local properties.
Public or private dollars?
County commissioners unanimously agreed to Lanier's proposal, though perhaps with differing interpretations of how the signs should be bought and installed.
Lanier said in an interview earlier this month his group seeks approval from county governments to place the motto on a building's exterior and then campaigns to raise funds from local residents to install the lettering. That usually includes churches and other community groups.
Roark said Nov. 5, he and local churches had already donated funds – combined more than $1,000 – before an Oct. 5, county commission meeting made that fundraising campaign moot.
Ashe County Commissioners Larry Rhodes said in October he understood Lanier's proposal in April differently. Rhodes said he believed Lanier's group was going to pay for the motto signs from money his group had on-hand – not from community donations.
When he found out about the fundraising campaign, Rhodes made the motion on Oct. 5, to simply pay for the signs with public money – about $2,400 – which the board unanimously supported.
That's when Roark said he turned his attention to using the funding to pay for "In God We Trust" on the exterior of the the county's five school properties. But Roark said he was "floored" by the Board of Education's decision not to display the motto outside.
"Here I've got to go back and apologize to the people (who donated money) because we can't put it on the buildings," Roark said. "I can't imagine them not wanting to put it on. That's what sets Ashe County aside from all these other counties."
For his part, King said he didn't believe tourists traveling to Ashe County would base their travel decisions on whether or not the school system allowed signs on the exterior of its buildings.
"We don't object to 'In God We Trust at all," King said. "Anywhere inside is fine by me. Just not on the exterior."
Roark hopes the system will amend the decision in this case.
"It's not costing the schools one dime and all this money will be raised for them," Roark said. "And if it changes one kid's attitude, it's money well spent."

Chapter Seventeen, Part Two: Hansel's All AloneMature
The glass is biting into his hand, cutting into him like breaks in the frost on a window. His blood is running over his wrist. He'll lose feeling soon. But if he does he'll be prime ground Time Lord in those gears. He's sure the TARDIS wouldn't hesitate.
He's also sure… that he could just let go.
He could just… let go.
But he doesn't have time to think it through as the glass slices through to the white on his middle finger.
He yelps, shuddering even though he's endured so much worse than this. Hot, angry tears well, and as he looks up at the Doctor and Flamina through the wet, he starts tying the first knot in the nylon.
In a few minutes, he's managed to get three loops over the lever. His injured hand is numb and dripping. Much more and he might lose it. Ah well. He and the Doctor can swap jokes, once everything normalises.
…normal? Really? Idiot. What normal?
As he works, he hears another sound. It isn't new, but it isn't old, either.
Thank Rassilon for that bastard lying up there on the glass. His lazy arse can get the door.
Laughter wants to shake him so he lets it… there are still four more knots to tie- he's done the rest and thrown the loops over. Time to test if the line will hold his weight.
He hooks the reel's handle in one of the loops on his jeans and grabs the glass with his good hand, slicing the fingers.
But the glass is already covered with blood; he scrabbles- his eyes goggling like he's a toad being squeezed as he flails-a fly in gossamer.

A lighthearted story complete with whimsical fantasy, mysterious magics, daring sword fights, large-scale tavern brawls, fierce dragons, foolhardy adventurers, perhaps an exploding wagon or two, unexplainably psychedelic phenomena, and of course a bucket of laughs.
(A guaranteed good time or we, the box office, will refund your ticket!)
. . . And then Grom, with might that seemed to be bestowed by some divine deity dedicated to virility, swung his faithful Nimbus with needlepoint precision at the roaring dragon, which raked the ground where the dwarf had been standing a second ago, (just before his heroic bound). The hammer fell; a crushing blow was dealt to the dense plating that the scaly monster adorned as amber hued armor, but the successful smashing of the weapon was ineffectual. However, it yielded a reaction from the dragon regardless, which did what any self-respecting monster would do, if it could breathe fire and was intentionally swatted with a hammer wielded by a mouse-sized marauder; the same thief greedily plundering its homey, treasure filled lair no less. A blazing flame spewed past unmercifully sharp fangs and licked the ground, turning all it touched into black ash or rivers of fire and liquid gold. The dwarf could feel his own suit of armor generously helping itself to the heat wave from the torrent of fury, which blasted him backwards momentarily, leaving him completely defenseless. Then suddenly –
Oh, my deepest apologies – I hadn't seen you there. Judging by your expressions of roused interest, you may be curious about the scene unfolding before you. I was just relating the harrowing attempt made by Grom, a dwarven hero and legend, to steal what could be considered one of the most magically powerful artifacts that existed in all of the Realm, from the ferociously feral dragon known commonly as Crimson Deathwind, or The Red Monster, or Farmbane, or the Wyvern of Woe, or Bloodfang, or Khomnot Gothyoll, or The Winged Titan, or – well, you get the point. It's the kind of creature you tell stories of in order to scare little children around camp fires. I anticipate your next question and offer an immediate answer; the reason any mortal being would be so questionably foolish, so naively bold, so audaciously ballsy as to go around picking fights with a gargantuan monstrosity whose reputation precedes it dreadfully so, is because . . . well, he simply had to.
Now, now, I agree. That isn't much of an explanation, is it? Surely your piqued minds are begging me to spruce up the detail with a bit of poetical spice, or paint the picture with deliciously fantastical phrases, but if you truly want a taste of this tale then we must travel back to the beginnings of Grom; the very beginning.

The Death of a Brother
I was the first one home, mum and dad having gone out shopping for the day. I screamed. What else could I do? The iron, the blood, my brother. I stepped backwards, pressing my back against the wall, terrified that the murderer was still in the house. It did not occur to me that it could be Hannah.
Grabbing my phone, I dashed out of the house and ran which ever way I was facing, my heart beating so loud that it drowned everything else out. I called Hannah.
"Hannah, Leon's dead!" I gasped between breaths. All I could hear was a deranged giggle, so I repeated myself thinking she had not heard me. She hung up on me.
Then I called the police and told them what was going on. Three police cars and an ambulance blared down the street, calling neighbours too nosy for their own good out of their houses, clutching cups of tea and thick jumpers. One car came for me and took me back to the police station. Silence was not usually a part of my life, but I was completely still for the whole ride. Every time I closed my eyes to blink, the image of my dead brother burned into my memory. The iron, the blood, my brother.
A police woman shoved a blanket round my shoulders and guided me inside. Did she think she was being kind giving me warmth? I did not want that blanket. I wanted to be cold, to feel pain. To be thrown into an ice bath would have been a welcome release, physical pain was much easier to deal with than emotional pain.
Two men came with small square notebooks and pens. I did not hear their voices, i did not see their lips moving, I only saw what could not escape my mind.
The iron, the blood, my brother.
The giggle.

Program 1
SAFE Tours
Conceived by SAFE, these unique tours(http://www.savingantiquities.org/tours.php) are guided by art
historians, archaeologists and museum specialists and journalists. SAFE
tours provide an "insider's look" at museum collection and focus on
artworks and artifacts that have dubious provenance or are presumed to
be illicit. SAFE Tours offer a museum experience you will not find on
other museum tours.
Also highlighted are objects that have been excavated properly.
The information we are able to gather from these artifacts is contrasted
with the lack of information from items without provenance, or history
of origin.
We customize tours to suit participants' specific interests.
Please check back for updated tour listings. Tours last about an
hour-and-a-half. For more information contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com(mailto:email@example.com) .

Old and New WoundsMature
"Agh! Watch it!" Jasper shouted as the medic poured alcohol on the knife wound to clean in.
"I'm sorry Silver," The woman huffed in frustration, laying a firm hand on Jasper's bared back to hold his squirming form still. His still-torn shirt lay draped over a chair, covered in blood. "But this is a very deep wound. It needs to be cleaned or it will become infected. You are very lucky you didnt puncture anything important when--what did you say happened?"
"Patrolling the tunnels," Jasper lied through his gritted teeth. "Slipped and fell on a sharp stone." The medic applied healing herbs to the wound. She knew a stone cut when she saw one, and this gash was too deliberate, too even, to be a simple fall. Jasper had been fighting with someone. She made a mental note to notify Ceri about it, and reached for the needle and thread and bottle of alcohol once more. She cleaned the herbs out of the wound and Jasper yelled in pain again.
"Hush up, baby." A familiar, but impossible voice slipped into Jasper's consciousness. "You've been through worse, as I recall."
"Abby?" Jasper muttered groggily.
"Yeah its me." The girl's beautiful face floated into view. Her long blonde hair curling around her face. "You havent forgotten me already have you Jasper?"
"No, but..." Jasper tried to protest, but quickly squeezed his eyes shut, trying to block out the painful memory. A scouting party, infiltrating the main city, to attempt to plant a bug in the compound. A team of seven had gone in, Ceri, Jasper, Abby, and four others. Two had made it out alive. Ceri had been appointed the leader upon his return, while Jasper had been sentenced to the Rocks, forever.
"No, get out of here while you still can!" Abby yelled, drawing her sword and sheild. She was a skilled fighter, and could fight three men twice her size easily. The Sorcerer's soldiers decended, their eyes black as coals, as dark as the Sorcerer's soul.
Jasper's eyes flew open, and he noticed the doctor standing over him.
"You're done, take this tea, it will help the healing." She handed him an earthenware mug filled with a liquid that smelled sweet and bitter at the same time. "Be sure to watch your step in the future." She tossed him his bloodstained shirt. "Get that cleaned up."
Jasper caught the shirt and took off down the tunnels to his room, where he drank the tea quickly, and fell asleep.
Jasper slept late the next morning, and once he woke up, all his room mates were gone.
"How long did I sleep?" He asked no one, then stood up, grabbed the ruined shirt and took it to the laundry caverns, which were always filled with steam and smelled of soap.
"What have you been doing to make such a mess of your shirt?" One of the women there accused him with her eyes, as she assessed the damage of the stains and the tears. "You might as well get a new one, for all the damage that has been done."
"Slipped on a rock." Jasper said, restating the excuse he'd used last night. The woman eyed him, not buying it.
"Next time, you may want to to avoid the sharp objects, and land on your hands." She said, her meaning coming across loud and clear.
"Yes ma'am." Jasper said respectfully, before retreating from the room, and grabbing a fresh brown shirt off the "clean" pile to wear while the ruined one was being mended.
He headed toward the dining hall, he quickly slipped the fresh shirt on before anyone could see the bandages that covered up the gash in his side, just below his left arm, let alone the scars on his back and shoulders, remnants of a long-ago fight.
"Layla!" He said, noticing her in the line, then he saw who she was talking to.
"...Ceri wants me to ask you if you want to join the in on the fight against the sorcerer, by taking up the sword." Zane was saying. "Its entirely up to you, he also insists if you do decide to take up the sword that I teach you how to fight."
Jasper retreated to the hallway quickly, seething, his mind blacking out to a very different picture than the busy dining hall in front of him.
An ambitious girl, learning the sword, she'd become adept very quickly. Her instincts were quick, and she learned fast. Jasper, though he preferred his knife the to comparatively clumsy sword, he learned alongside her, and taught her what he learned with the blade, they became an unbeatable team...
"The kingdom is weakening," Jasper said, standing before Ceri, confidence burning in his eyes. "If we are to strike at all, we must strike now."
"We know practically nothing about the defenses the Emperor uses." Ceri said practical as always.
"So we plant a bug. Send in a small team to infiltrate the defenses and buy out one of the higher ups. Abby and I will do it..."
That, imbecile, he treated fighting like a game, every wound, ever scar like a prize won. Jasper thought back to last night, that awful, gleeful grin. He loved the thrill of the fight. The adrenalin rush when faced with an enemy. Jasper growled softly through his teeth, just as Zane came through the archway, decidedly smug, that grin still plastered all over his face. He bumped into Jasper's bad side. Jasper hissed out a breath, trying to hide the pain, as Zane ignored him. The guards standing near the entrance were still talking about the new arrivals. Jasper avoided eye contact with them. Finding the two new refugees, pounding at the gate.
No one had noticed what Jasper had noticed last night. The girl, Tanya, slaying half a dozen of those soldiers in just as many seconds. The man, Durn, had been just as prepared to fight them off. They were not helpless, and Jasper did not trust them. He slipped through the dining room entrance, and spotted Layla, back at work once again. He took a plate and followed the line to where she stood.
"Layla," He began, before another blackout plagued him with another memory.
They crept over the wall in the dark of night. Torches dotted the tops of the walls at regular intervals, but the light hindered more than helped the soldiers keeping watch. The small team went unnoticed.
They spent three days in the city, posing as beggars, dressed in rags. Jasper was stationed at the corner closest to the compound, and he saw trains of slaves being led inside, but he never saw anything come out. The walls of the compound were high, smooth as glass and darker than night. The only way in or out was the main gate.
"We have to get in there." Jasper said that night as they regrouped.
"This is already a foolhardy mission." Said another man, Jamal. "We should get out of here and back to the resistance as soon as we can."
"Shhh, do you want the whole city to know where we came from?" Abby said, ever wise. She took a deep breath. "I'll do it."
"What, no!" Jasper protested.
"We need to get in there. I'm the best fighter we've got, and the fastest, if anyone can get in and out of there, I can." Her bright eyes, blue as the sea, flashed with energy.
"No. I wont let you." Jasper stood fast.
"But you'll sacrifice one of the others?" The other men in the team turned toward Jasper, who quickly retreated.
"Alright, we go with Jamal's plan. At sunset tomorrow, we go home..."
"Spirits, what was in that tea!?" Jasper gasped, coming to again, it had only been a few seconds.
"Jasper?" Layla looked concerned, her eyes, blue and bright, caught and held Jasper's attention. "What happened?"
"Nothing, really. One of the medics gave me something, thats all." Jasper said.
"Why did a medic give you something?"
"Slipped on a--"Jasper began. "Hurt myself, did something stupid. Its really not a big deal."
"If you say so." Layla said, but her eyes said something very different.
"How about, I meet you here this evening, after dinner has been cleaned up?" Jasper negotiated.
"Ah, there is our rescuer!" A surprisingly loud voice came from the somewhat wiry frame of Durn, and his sister, the new refugees.
"Duty calls." Jasper muttered, turning to meet the two. "Are you both adjusting well to life here?" He asked calmly.
"As well as can be expected." Durn replied, taking a plate and getting food for himself and his sister. "We are both still adjusting to, being safe, for once in our lives."
"Allow me to lead you to a table." Jasper did his job, but sent glances toward Layla every now and then throughout the meal, hoping he hadnt scared her. Why were those memories resurfacing now, of all times?

Italy, namely, the Italian Republic , is positioned partly on the European Continent and also on the Italian Peninsula in Southern Europe and on the two largest islands in the Mediterranean Sea, Sicily and Sardinia. Italy also shares its borders to the north with an Alpine boundary with France, Switzerland, Austria and Slovenia. The independent areas of San Marino and the Vatican City are enclaves within the Italian Peninsula, and Campione d'Italia is an Italian exclave in Switzerland. The area of Italy covers 301,338 km² and has a temperate seasonal climate. It has a population 60.2 million , thus making it to sixth most populated country in Europe, and the twenty-third most populated in the world.

The country of Italy has been at the forefront of European cultures and peoples, such as the Etruscans and the Romans. The capital, Rome, was for centuries the political centre of Western civilisation,and also the capital of the Roman Empire. After the Roman demise, Italy would endure many invasions by foreigners , for example Germanic tribes (the Lombards and Ostrogoths), to the Normans and later, the Byzantines, among others. Many centuries later, Italy would become the birthplace of the Renaissance. A new intellectual movement that would help shape the subsequent course of European culture.

The United States declared today that major combat operations were over in Afghanistan, a step aimed largely at encouraging more nations to join the international reconstruction effort here.
The announcement, made at a news conference here by Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld and the Afghan president, Hamid Karzai, is likely to have little practical effect on the 8,000 American soldiers who have been here for 18 months.
Most of these forces have already begun reconstruction efforts and are still conducting sweeps in search of pockets of militants, particularly along the border with Pakistan. An additional 5,500 international peacekeepers are policing the capital here.
Politically, however, the formal transition to stability and reconstruction missions from combat operations is expected to open the door for many aid organizations, particularly in Europe, that had balked at sending troops, supplies or other assistance while the focus was on the American-led fight against Taliban and Al Qaeda fighters.Continue reading the main story
''What's different now is that we can shift our weight,'' Mr. Rumsfeld told reporters. ''A significantly larger part of our effort can go in that direction.''
The timing of the announcement coincided with President Bush's declaration tonight to shift the emphasis in Iraq to reconstruction from combat after six weeks there, compared with 18 months here.
Mr. Rumsfeld said it had taken longer for a smaller force to root out elusive Qaeda terrorists than for the military to trounce the Iraqi armed forces, but he suggested that Afghanistan could be a laboratory for Iraqi reconstruction efforts. This is Mr. Rumsfeld's third trip to Afghanistan since Sept. 11, 2001, and he praised the progress he had witnessed.
On the 10-minute drive from the city's airport to Mr. Karzai's palace, bustling stalls selling eggs, fresh meat, vegetables and other services lined the main road, which hummed with cars, buses and taxis.
Mr. Karzai and the commander of American forces in Afghanistan, Lt. Gen. Daniel K. McNeill, have been pressing Washington for months for this transition, so as to attract international contributions.
Large new reconstruction projects like rebuilding the road between Kabul and Kandahar in the south would give Mr. Karzai a big political boost and energize the flagging Afghan economy, officials said.
''I advocated this earlier,'' General McNeill said in an interview. ''Now there's simply no reason why the international community can't take bolder decisions on reconstruction.''
The shift from full-fledged combat to establishing stability has actually been under way for months. In secure parts of the country, several hundred military civil affairs experts have built schools and dug wells. International aid workers are also in the country, but many say threats to security inside Afghanistan prevent them from reaching many needy communities.
Frustrated at the slow pace of rebuilding the country, the Pentagon last fall decided to use civil affairs teams to take reconstruction efforts to 8 to 10 turbulent regions. The teams have a total of $12 million for projects they oversee, and they hire local contractors to do the work.
Three teams are operating now -- in Gardez, Bamian and Kunduz -- but General McNeill said only Italy had until now volunteered to help with the program.
Security remains dicey in parts of the country, although General McNeill said the situation was steadily improving. Foreign aid workers have been the targets of nearly daily attacks. Last Friday, two American soldiers were killed and four others wounded in a daytime clash along the eastern border.
Much of the problem is that the border with Pakistan is porous and that the Pakistani authorities are limited in how aggressively they can patrol the largely autonomous tribal regions where local leaders are openly sympathetic toward the Taliban and Al Qaeda.
Today, Pakistan's President said Osama bin Laden might be alive and hidden in the tribal areas, Reuters reported.
When asked about Pakistani cooperation, General McNeill said, ''We haven't gone as far and as fast as we'd like.'' He added, however, that Pakistan has seized 450 militants in the campaign against terror.
Mr. Rumsfeld spent much of his weeklong trip in the region assessing how United States forces and bases in the Persian Gulf could be reduced or rearranged to take account of the fall of Saddam Hussein.
But there is no immediate end in sight for the 8,000 American troops here, at least not until summer 2004, when 9,000 to 12,000 Afghan National Army soldiers are expected to be sent around the country.
Mr. Rumsfeld visited the national army's training center here, chatting with Afghan soldiers and officers as well as their American and British trainers. The program got off to a bumpy start last year when many recruits left before basic training was even completed, complaining of homesickness and the paltry $30 a month the United States was paying them.
The program has since picked up momentum, American officials said, partly because of better recruiting to ensure that the mix of soldiers is more representative of the country's ethnic groups. ''They've performed extremely well,'' said Maj. Gen. Karl Eikenberry of the Army, the chief American security coordinator here.
Some Afghan soldiers are already joining American forces on patrol and on specific missions. But American commanders acknowledge that they still have a long way to go before they feel confident enough to turn Afghanistan's security over to the Afghans.
Security was tight today for the meeting between Mr. Rumsfeld and Mr. Karzai at the National Palace, a compound of stone buildings, some of which date back 600 years. American security personnel said Mr. Karzai was a virtual prisoner of his headquarters, rarely venturing out to mingle with his countrymen, although he did join a parade in downtown Kabul a couple of days ago.
When asked about his inability to travel around his own country safely, Mr. Karzai joked to reporters, ''I think I can move much freer than most other heads of state do in their countries.''Continue reading the main story

It must have been pretty tough. Sorry, using sports broadcaster terms. I was guilty of using the code, where the word "tough" really means bad.
It must have been pretty bad. Maybe it was a glossy photo with an open briefcase with bundles of Euros and men smiling broadly while shaking hands to complete a bribe on a luxury yacht on the shores of Monaco.
Perhaps it was Sepp Blatter naked on a bed covered with Ben Franklins (US 100 dollar bills) making it rain while he employed a selfie-stick to take a picture of how rich he was.
Actually it was a paper trail of a $10 million-dollar bribe to suspect Jack Warner of CONCACAF. A letter authorizing the payment was sent to FIFA second in command Jerome Valcke.
US Attorney General Loretta Lynch has enough juice; plenty of proof that the FIFA president is as corrupt as the men immediately beneath him in the FIFA hierarchy.
It was confirmed the Yankee federales were going after those chaps, hoping they would sing and rat out Seppy Blatts.
The Americans most likely had the extradition papers ready to rock as soon as Seppy Blatts placed his first Italian leather loafer on the fake grass of the Canadian Women's World Cup.
Now Joseph Sepp Blatter can go about the business of retirement (maybe). It will take a few months to find his successor.
To his dismay, the 79-year-old will not be the savior. He does not have the trust and confidence of everyone. You are not my president, or anyone else's.
Time to go away Sepp. Be gone Blatter.

The head of the BC Federation of Foster Parents is weighing in on the tragic death of Baby Isabella.
Russell Pohl says his heart goes out to the toddler's family and her foster parents and is holding back from an opinion.
"We really don't know all the facts."
Pohl says he trusts the Ministry of Children and Families and the children's watchdog to get to the bottom of it.
"We all parent differently and this is an extremely unfortunately incident, no matter what has happened. I always fall on back on this when I speak acorss the country: we all need to walk a mile in each other's shoes."
Isabella was 21 months old when she was found dead in her crib at her foster parents' home in Burnaby two years ago.
Her birth mother is suing the provincial government.
