Texas Thursday December 31.198' Auburn not afraid of domed stadiums By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Auburn hasn t played a game indoors since the 1984 Sugar Bowl The Tigers don't feel that will be any disadvantage when they make their reappearance in the Superdome against Syracuse on Friday We may not be completely comfortable playing inside after only two days of practicing in the Superdome, but I don't think it will put us at a disadvantage." Auburn tight end Walter Reeves said "It all boils down to concentrating and doing what you have to do to win," safety Greg Staples said The fourth-ranked and unbeaten Orangemen are accustomed to the peculiarities of playing inside because they practice and play their home games at the Carrier Dome "I think we ll be at a slight advantage playing inside because we are a dome team ourselves." Syracuse tailback Robert Drummond said. "The only difference is the dome here is a lot bigger " Auburn plays at Jordan Hare Stadium, an outdoor facility Playing in the warmer climate of the Deep South gives little reason for the Tigers' Southeastern Con ference foes to have enclosed stadiums, so No 6 Auburn doesn't get to play inside on the road, either The Sugar Bowl is the only New Y ear s Day game to be played indoors The only oiher indoor bow l game is tonight's Bluebonnet, featuring Pittsburgh and Texas today's other game was the Gator Bowl, with No 7 Louisiana State facing No 9 South Carolina this afternoon In other games Friday, the na tional championship w ill be dec id ed at the Orange Bowl. with No I Oklahoma playing No 2 Miami Third ranked Florida State plays No 5 Nebraska in the Fiesta Bowl No 8 Michigan State takes on No 18 Southern California in • «* Rose Bowl.

Drummond said At least it does in the Carrier Dome and there s room for more people here I don't think you have that kind of noise level playing out doors " The Carrier Dome seats 5o oui people while the Superdome which covers two acres more and stands 110 feet taller than the Car Tier Dome has a capacity of near Iv 78.UM) "They Auburn might find it harder to hear one another or to hear audibles at the line of scrim mage ' Drummond, the team s top rusher said But the Tigers summarily dismissed that factor "1 don t think the Superdome will tx* any problem running back Stacy Dantey said We ve played before 80.Olio people at home and 93,um at Tennessee We re used to the noise a large crowd can make ' We got an idea of how loud the place can get Sunday at the Green Bay Saints game " tackle Jim Thompson said Wt- do audible plays Jeff Burger the Tigers quarterback will let the guards know the play and they ll just have to pass it to the tackles and then down the line We ll just haute concentrate harder " Heisman hopefuls in 1988 square off in Bluebonnet HOUSTON (AI*) Pittsburgh's Craig Heyward, the No 2 rusher in the nation, and Texas' Erie Metcalf, the third-ranked all purpose runner, will lead their teams New Year's Eve in the Bluebonnet Bow l in the Astrodome Heywood.

This past year was an inspirational journey for Footprints of the Mind. We broadened our reach and were able to make connections with people far and wide in and around Chicago. We sat in a workshop with National Geographic, met with geographers from the National Council of Geographic Education, and held brainstorming sessions with members of the Chicago Council on Global Affairs.
However, the thing that personally impacted me the most, and the kind of thing that kept me up at night, was the huge disparity in resources between schools. I taught a workshop to a group of 22 First Graders where more than half had a passport and at least 1/3 had been to the 2 countries I was paid to teach. When told the program cost, the response from the school was "That's it?" It was frustrating to know that the kids that need us the most were not the ones that could pay for the valuable and immersive experience of our programs.
The difference I saw in my experience in various schools was significant; probably no different at all from many of your own experiences as educators. We met with teachers who embrace a global curriculum, and those who do not. Those who are travelers, and those who are not. Those who recognize that we are making connections and scaffolding student knowledge, and those who think of the program as merely a fun option. Those who spend hours researching the internet sifting for age appropriate content, and those who believe printing a flag and some pages from a workbook will suffice.
I am astounded by my own children's experiences in this regard. My 6th grader's peers could not name the 7 continents and 5 oceans. My teenager has an AP Human Geography book with outdated maps and information about International conflicts at least 8 years in the past. Educators are pulled in so many directions that to have a passion in one subject is practically a thing of the past.
This is where we can help.
We continue to meet with principal after principal who immediately recognize the value, and it is never a matter of if they want our programs but rather how they would pay for it. We put on our creative hats and came up with programs that would meet the needs of the students that need us the most.
The options I have outlined in the attached proposals allow me to do what I love doing while at the same time reflecting the needs of the staff as outlined in the new Illinois Social Studies Standards effective Jan. 27, 2016. I am also happy to say that providing the "a la carte" option significantly reduces the cost of the program. By doing this, we are able to make it available to more schools, impacting more students, and strengthening the cultural and global foundation of not only the student body, but the next generation of citizens.
Take a look and contact your Principals and PTA/PTO's and let's work together to provide the best experience possible for your students.
Warm regards,
P.S. Our website is being revamped! Stay in touch for the grand RE-OPENING of Footprints of the Mind! Lots of new and exciting updates to share!
If you are interested in learning more, shoot me an email or fill out our contact form: http://www.footprintsofthemind.com/contact.htm.
We would love to partner with you and your students to make this the best year ever!

PortCityDaily.com is your source for free news and information in the Wilmington area.
After both teams traded a pair of long scoring drives and one turnover apiece, New Hanover took control of the game by possessing the ball for all but nine plays during a 12-minute stretch as the Wildcats ran away from Laney 30-14 on a sloppy track at Holliday Stadium in Buctown.
Keegan Santos was the featured running back in the high-powered New Hanover offense with two trips to the end zone, while Burke Estes completed 21-of-28 pass attempts for 269 yards and two touchdowns.
"I thought we were flat coming out, but it was a great effort all around despite some personal foul penalties that we need to clean up," said New Hanover Coach Earl Smith. "We're 2-0 in conference and to get wins over Hoggard and Laney back-to-back is tough. Now it's time to regroup and get ready for Friday against West Brunswick."
Following a 34-yard run untouched up the middle by Jamius Beckett to put Laney in front 7-0 with 5:35 to play in the first quarter, the Wildcats answered with an 11 play, 65-yard possession, capped off on a two-yard touchdown by Santos to even the score late in the opening frame.
The Bucs were forced to go three-and-out on the next possession, but a sack and forced fumble led to a Laney recovery by Travone McGhee. However, a bad snap gave the ball right back to New Hanover as Nigel Hines came away with the fumble and good field position led to a 21-yard field goal by Josiah Eason to grab a 10-7 lead at the break.
Back-to-back false start penalties forced a long down and distance for the Wildcats when Estes hit Garrett Walston on third down to move the chains, which sparked a 16-play drive, lasting more than seven minutes.
"The first couple of series we pinned them deep and we didn't do anything until they went ahead," Smith added. "We woke up a little bit and we talked about leaving them in the game. That field goal was big, but the field conditions were a neutralizer tonight. We did what we had to do offensively and I thought our defense played really well."
After the long possession to end the first half, New Hanover took the opening kickoff to start the third quarter and moved right down the field to take a two-score lead when Santos rushed for his second touchdown on a six-yard carry to make it 16-7 in favor of the Wildcats. Santos had a 55-yard run on the drive and Estes hit Lamont Howard for a 20-yard pass.
Laney was held to just five offensive snaps in the second period and punted after just three plays once New Hanover extended their advantage midway through the third quarter.
Estes connected with Howard on a 30-yard strike with 4:54 to go in the frame to make it 23-7 and the senior quarterback closed the scoring for the Wildcats with a 28-yard touchdown to Walston midway through the fourth quarter. Walston, who signed to play at the University of North Carolina late last week, finished with six receptions for 104 yards, while Howard made five catches for 96 yards. Estes found five different receivers in the game and Santos rushed for 99 yards on 12 carries.
New Hanover ran off 30 unanswered points after going down 7-0 until Beckett found the end zone late in the game on a five-yard run to close the deficit with 1:02 remaining.
Laney dropped to 2-1 in conference and 3-5 overall heading into a short week of practice as the Bucs travel to Hoggard on Friday, Oct. 16.
"It got sloppy in the second half and we made too many mental mistakes," said Laney Coach Aashad Yeoman. "It's a testament to those guys and the ability for them to execute. Penalties killed us and it wasn't as much as what they did and more of us shooting ourselves in the foot. We had opportunities, but it was one thing here and another little thing there. We can't harp on it because we need to have a good week heading into another big game come Friday."
New Hanover moved to 2-0 atop the Mideastern Conference standings and 5-2 overall. The Wildcats play host to West Brunswick on Friday.

As the Bucs were reportedly linked to cornerback Brent Grimes, it appears they may lose out on him now. According to Pat Yasinskas of ESPN, Grimes has an offer from another team. The Cleveland Browns reportedly have an offer for a multiyear deal on the table and that may make them the favorite to land Grimes. The Bucs also might want to consider making a strong offer. While a trade forDarrelle Revis remains a possibility, there's no guarantee that deal will happen. Grimes might be the best cornerback left in free agency. The Bucs may be able to land him if they come up with an offer similar to Cleveland's. At what point do the Bucs get to when enough is enough on waiting for Darrelle Revis? Honestly, the Bucs may never get to that point. The Bucs may... The post Bucs losing out on Brent Grimes appeared first on The Bay Cave.

Canada's love of hockey trumps election debate
By Allan Dowd
VANCOUVER (Reuters) - Canada's federal election campaign hit a very Canadian obstacle on Sunday, as the country's passion for hockey forced a nationally-televised debate between party leaders to be rescheduled.
The French-language debate set for Thursday was switched to Wednesday to avoid a conflict with the start of the National Hockey League's playoffs. Two Canadian teams, including the Montreal Canadiens, are in the hunt for the Stanley Cup.
In a rare show of unity the parties suggested the change when it became clear their debate would clash with the opening game of a series between the Canadiens and the Boston Bruins.
Hockey is close to a national obsession in Canada, and New Democratic Party leader Jack Layton admitted most people would rather watch the Montreal-Boston game instead of a political face-off.
"Were I not in this election I might very well make the same decision," Layton joked with reporters on Sunday, saying the networks should consider rescheduling Thursday's debate to avoid a conflict with the game.
The Bloc Quebecois, a separatist party that only runs candidates in the French-speaking province of Quebec, said it would be "heartbreaking" to make Quebecer's choose between watching hockey and politics.
The network consortium that runs the debates said the rescheduling was "in the best interest of the general public" and would ensure the political forums "reach as wide an audience as possible."
The English-language debate between the party leaders will proceed as scheduled on Tuesday. Continued...

Tokyo Ghoul (東京喰種トーキョーグール, Tōkyō Gūru) is a horror manga series written and illustrated by Sui Ishida. It was published by Shueisha and collected into 14 tankōbon volumes as of August 2014. It was serialized in the Weekly Young Jump from September 2011 to 2014. On October 17, 2014, a full color illustration book known as Tokyo Ghoul Zakki was released along with the 14th and final volume of the manga. A sequel titled Tokyo Ghoul:re (東京喰種トーキョーグール:re, Tōkyō Gūru:re) began serialization in 2014's 46th issue of Weekly Young Jump, published on October 16, 2014 and has thus far reached its ninth volume. As of June 2016, both series combined reached over 18 million copies in circulation. An anime adaptation produced by Studio Pierrot premiered on Tokyo MX on July 3, 2014. Funimation licensed the anime for streaming and home video distribution in North America on June 6, 2014. Four light novels have been released thus far and all are written by Shin Towada, with illustrations done by series creator Sui Ishida. A video game titled Tokyo Ghoul: Carnaval by Bandai Namco Games was released in Japan on February 6, 2015. Followed by another video game titled Tokyo Ghoul: Jail for the PlayStation Vita console was released on October 1, 2015. Finally, set to launch are Tokyo Ghoul: Dark War, developed by GameSamba, and Tokyo Ghoul:re INVOKE, another game from Bandai Namco, both for Android and iOS devices. A live-action film based on the manga was announced in June 2016 to open the summer of 2017.
Strange murders are happening in Tokyo. Due to liquid evidence at the scene, the police conclude the attacks are the results of 'eater' type ghouls. College buddies Kaneki and Hide come up with the idea that ghouls are imitating humans so that's why they haven't ever seen one. Little did they know that their theory may very well become reality.

Lucene uses two query classes to handle wildcards, namely PrefixQuery and WildcardQuery. To cut the long story short, PrefixQuery, the faster of the two, is expressly optimized for wildcards searches like "foo*" and "foa*" but doesn't yet support single character matching like "foo?". WildcardQuery, the slower of the two and developed after PrefixQuery was completed, handles general wildcard searches like "fo*l" as well as "fo?l". I'll see what I can do to add single character matching to PrefixQuery over the weekend. > - How does one specify a date range in a query?

Thus the search "foam~" will match with terms like "foam", "form", "foal", "roam", etc.. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Make a great connection at Yahoo!

text: Edward N. Wolff, "Inheriting Wealth in America: Future Boom or Bust?" English | ISBN: 0199353956 | 2015 | 272 pages | PDF | 1 MB Inheritances are often regarded as a societal " enabling great fortunes to be passed from one generation to another, thus exacerbating wealth inequality and reducing wealth mobility. Discussions of inheritances in America bring to mind the Vanderbilts, Rockefellers, and "--people who receive enough money through inheritances or gifts that they do not have any need to work during their lifetime. Though these are, of course, extreme outliers, inheritances in America have a reputation for being a way the rich keep getting richer. In Inheriting Wealth in America, Edward Wolff seeks to counter these misconceptions with data and arguments that illuminate who inherits what in the United States and what results from these wealth transfers. Using data from the Survey of Consumer Finances--a triennial survey conducted by the Federal Reserve Board that contains detailed information on household wealth, inheritances, and gifts--as well as the Panel Study of Income Dynamics and a simulation model over years 1989 to 2010, Wolff reports six major findings on the state of inheritances in America. First, wealth transfers (inheritances and gifts) accounted for less than one quarter of household wealth. However, for persons age 75 and over, the figure was about two-fifths since they have more time to receive wealth transfers. Indirect evidence, derived from the simulation model, indicates a figure closer to two-thirds at end of life - probably the best estimate. Second, despite prognostications of a coming " it has not materialized yet. Only a small (and statistically insignificant) uptick in average wealth transfers was observed over the period, and wealth transfers were actually down as a share of household wealth. Third, while wealth transfers are greater in dollar amount for richer households than poorer ones, they constitute a smaller share of the accumulated wealth of the rich. Fourth, contrary to popular belief, inheritances and gifts, on net, reduce wealth inequality rather than raising it. The rationale is that inheritances and particularly gifts typically flow from richer to poorer persons, thus lowering wealth inequality. Fifth, despite a rapid rise in income inequality, the inequality of wealth transfers shows no discernible time trend from 1989 to 2010, neither upward nor downward. Sixth, among the very wealthy, the share of wealth accounted for by wealth transfers is surprisingly low, only about a sixth, and this share has trended significantly downward over time. It is true that inheritances and gifts are unequal, with only one fifth of families receiving wealth transfers and these transfers benefitting the rich far more than the middle class and the poor. That, however, is not the whole picture of inheritances in America. Clearly-written and illuminating, this books expertly distills an abundance of data on inheritances into important takeaways for all who wonder about the current state of inheritances and gifts in the United States.

Ministers call them wreckers. The head of the CBI says they will take us back to Seventies-style industrial anarchy. Not for the first time since 1997, suspicion of the trades unions is frothing up. Are the fears justified?
On the face of it there does seem to be cause for nervousness. Strikes on South West Trains and Arriva have caused disruption for millions. Last week the RMT and Aslef rail unions voted to strike for pay on the Tube and at Scotrail. Postal workers have also voted in favour of industrial action over a pay dispute. Now unions are threatening to ballot at Longbridge following the breakdown of pay talks with MG Rover, the company they were instrumental in propping up nearly two years ago. Even the police rejected a pay deal last week, forcing arbitration with the Government. The number of worker days lost to strike action has risen from 282,000 in 1998 to 354,000 for the first 10 months of 2001.
On top of this, strikes are being led by what is characterised as an 'awkward squad' of self-confessed far-left leaders - Bob Crow at the RMT, Mick Rix at Aslef, Billy Hayes who leads the postal workers at the CWU and Mark Serwotka at the Public & Commercial Services Union (PCU) - who have little or no interest in getting on with Labour.
At the same time, worker rights seem to be growing. Last week, plans for part-time workers to gain the same rights as full-timers emerged. Union membership is on the increase following laws passed by Labour setting out a process to establish union recognition: agreements soared from 75 in 1998-89 to 450 last year.
And after union pressure - backed by upcoming European laws - the Government has conceded to consultation provisions in major plans affecting workers, such as mass redundancies.
On the political front, most unions have been in pitched battle with the Government since the election over private sector involvement in the public services. Dominic Johnson, head of employee relations at the CBI, says: 'There is more than a whiff of flared trousers and medallions about the latest round of industrial action. What worries us [about the new labour laws] is the possibility that unions that don't want to work in partnership with employers can use them to inflict long-term damage on businesses.'
Despite these fears, the 1970s this is not. Union membership may have been growing, but last year's 6.7 million total is dwarfed by 1979's 12.1 million. Strikes may have increased, too, but 499,000 days were lost in 2000 compares with 29 million in 1979.
Thatcherite labour laws banned the closed shop and forced postal ballots in general secretary elections and for industrial action. Ironically, these laws have given the radicals elected to head their unions a legitimacy their predecessors lacked.
Bob Crow, elected this month as head of RMT, told The Observer: 'I have said frequently, in my campaign and since, that I will not shy away from industrial action to support the interests of members.' Last week he proved it. Worryingly, he is close to Rix of Aslef, whose members also voted for strikes. The suspicious talk is of collaboration.
Serwotka, elected as head of the PCS in 2000, said: 'I ran my campaign making it clear I had led many successful strikes. Getting better pay was the key objective: there are 10,000 civil servants claiming the Working Families Tax Credit. I said I would demand national pay bargaining, and back it up with strikes if necessary.'
The PCS is negotiating with the Government on pay. Serwotka warns of ballots - to add to current strikes over conditions at benefits offices - in the autumn if no agreement is reached. In both these cases, general secretaries are pursuing specific industry grievances - often over pay. As one observer said: 'These are industrially militant people. But they are not so politically militant.'
That may seem odd, given Serwotka's membership of the Socialist Alliance, Crow's current agnosticism - his membership of Arthur Scargill's Socialist Labour Party (SLP) recently lapsed - and Rix's only recent conversion from SLP to Labour. Last week Crow was quoted as saying he was revolution-minded. Trotskyist support for him and Serwotka is often mentioned. Serwotka says: 'If I was to be characterised, I would say I was from the far left. But that is not the point; I am putting members first.
He adds: 'I was actively hostile to Labour during my campaign, while my rival advocated cosy fireside chats. I don't see any need for that or a link with Labour.'
Last week Hayes threatened to cut union donations to Labour unless the Government stopped plans for 'back door privatisation' of the Post Office. Both Crow and Serwotka stress they are happy to talk to any party that acts in their members' interests. All emphasise that New Labour's support for business naturally means they set less store by close relations.
Union watchers say that the lack of interest shown by these leaders is reflected by Labour. One party source says: 'Over the past 10 years the party has gradually stopped the work of monitoring the unions, preparing for elections, troubleshooting and so on.
'The difficulty is that Blair believes it when he says Labour is no longer reliant on the unions. That's okay as a public message, but it does not mean that behind the scenes you can stop working to keeping the unions on board.'
In addition, the Government has not taken seriously union concerns over public services and their demands for information and consultation and an update of the Employment Relations Act.
This breakdown in communication has put Labour on the back foot when dealing with unions in the midst of industrial action.
The radical unions deal with industries that affect the public most. Because they can cause maximum disruption, with embarrassing consequences for employers and the Government, they punch well above their weight. The CWU has 284,644 members, RMT 57,869, and Aslef, 15,790. The real problem would come if radicals with little interest in 'cosy fireside chats' take over the giants: Amicus (formerly the AEEU and MSF), with its 1.1 million, the T&G with its 858,804, or the GMB with 692,147.
The last time there was a big union election, there were fears within New Labour about Unison's Dave Prentis, who has shown himself to be a pragmatist so far. But in the coming years there will be elections to replace Bill Morris at the T&G and John Edmonds at the GMB, while Amicus's Sir Ken Jackson has called a poll to challenge left-winger Derek Simpson.
Insiders say Simpson does not have a chance, and that militants such as Crow are unlikely to lead T&G or GMB.
However, the moderate leaders of these unions have vented their disgust at privatisation plans with as much force as Crow, Hayes and their radical comrades. If Blair does not succeed in mollifying them after the 'wreckers' imbroglio, who knows where things could go?
Trouble at t'mill - and car plant and post office
·The RMT and Aslef have voted in favour of 48-hour stoppages on the London Tube after the union and management failed to resolve a pay dispute. The RMT has led strikes over pay - demanding that the gap between guards and conductors and drivers be narrowed - and is warning of further action on the national network.
·The CWU voted in favour of industrial action over a postal workers' pay dispute. They demanded 5 per cent; Consignia offered 2.1 per cent. In addition, the union is warning of unrest over plans to open up the market to competition - a policy introduced by the Government - which it argues is privatisation by the back door.
·The PCS civil service union is in negotiations with the Government to agree national pay bargaining to replace some 173 agreements across the service and prevent similarly graded workers being paid different rates in different departments. If negotiations with the Treasury founder, the PCS is warning of strike ballots in the Autumn.
·MG Rover: The T&G has made a request for a ballot on industrial action over pay and conditions, having rejected two separate pay offers by the company. The last one involved a 2.5 per cent wage increase in return for flexible working arrangements.
·Funding: The GMB , RMT , FBU and now CWU have all raised the question of funding a Labour Party that advocates increased private sector involvement in the public services. The GMB has led the way, withdrawing £1m over four years. Will others follow?

L.A.'s Velvet Underground devotees the Warlocks bring their droney, dreamy psych rock to town, with a new album in the pipeline. We're guessing the four-year gap between records may have something to do with the Hell's Angels shooting that took place outside a show the band was playing in L.A. in 2010. Either way, fingers crossed the new tracks make the grade.

Not exactly a dark and stormy night, but nonetheless: a strange, far place in a strange, far time, distant buttes with low, wet clouds hanging across their rumpled white faces and long, straight highways running somewhere close to forever. In a settled land, the truly wild places are where nobody is looking anymore. This was a wild place.
Enigmatic sign pointing west.
Why did the eagle die? Did anyone remember? Some did, but they weren't talking.
Red dirt road perpendicular to the highway, heading into the short grass and disappearing over a low rise a half mile out.
Other signs, every thirty miles or so, pointing to other roads hinting travel through invisible walls and into other times. If you had a vehicle with enough stamina, maybe turn off on one of them, just for the hell of it. We've all had a fleeting urge to do that.
That's what Carlisle McMillan did. He was in no hurry, a traveler without design, a temporary drifter by his own choice. After turning his tan Chevy pickup off westbound pavement onto what the locals called Wolf Butte Road, he headed south past the Dead Eagle Canyon sign. After a while, he stopped his truck and got out, miles from the nearest little town.
Late August cool. Mist. Carlisle McMillan stood there for a few moments, boots becoming grass wet, sky water on his face and hands.
Easy wind came, went, came again. Silence. Cattails bending, yellow clover riffling as the wind chose. Like a film without a sound track—the silence—only deeper. More like a stone coffin at nightfall when the mourners have left and dirt has been shoveled over you.
The Cheyenne believed this was sacred ground. Sweet Medicine said it was so. The hawk sitting thirty fence posts south of Carlisle McMillan believed it. Anyone who happened on this place believed it. The smart money would come with food and water, perhaps a sleeping bag, in case an engine failed or a tire relented and the spare was empty. For nothing out here cared about you, that much was clear. Nothing cared whether you lived or died or paid your bills or danced on warm Pacific beaches and made love afterward. There was nothing except silence and wind, and they would be here long after your passing.
The Early Ones were buried here in mounds, giving the appearance of sea roll to the prairie. They shuffled across the old land bridges from Asia when the continents were connected in the high north. A century ago, others were buried in this place. Buried where they fell in the wars of Manifest Destiny, the great westward push. You could still find metal buttons from cavalry tunics if you scuffled around in the gravel and looked close. Other things, too, old knife handles, human shoulder bones splintered by lance and bullet, pipe stems. If you dug, you would find more, a lot more.
Six inches behind Carlisle McMillan's left rear tire was a tunic button half buried in the mud. The winds of a hundred springs uncovered the button, rain washed it into a creek. The creek carried it onto a sandbar. A bird picked it up and flew toward a nest, dropping it when it turned out to be hard and tasteless. That particular button once fastened the coat of Trooper Jimmy C. Knowles, Seventh Cavalry, who rode behind a man they called Son of the Morning Star. Trooper Knowles thought well of his yellow-haired general and aspired to be a cut-and-paste copy of him. He would have ridden into hell with Son of the Morning Star. And he eventually did.
If you can get past the wind, listen beyond the silence, there are old sounds reverberating here. Distant bugles, squeak of cavalry leather, maybe the low thrum of time itself. And faint images of old riders from a long time ago, mounted on fine Appaloosas, breaking from the shadows of Dead Eagle Canyon, running hard across the roll of green prairie, and turning their ponies for autumn, steam coming from muzzles and mouths.
Sometimes you can even smell things farther out when the wind is just right. That's what they said and still say. You have to lean back and flare your nostrils. Work at it. Then it will come to you. First the ordinary smells of big, open country and after that the faint whiff of old deceptions.
Not far from where Carlisle McMillan stood in light rain and looked out across the rise of nothing, the anthropologist fell to his death from one of the smaller buttes. There had been the sound of rushing air followed by the thump of something high in the middle of his back, causing him to stagger forward from where he was standing and launching him into downward flight. The first eighty feet or so, his fall had a certain purity in its form and velocity, almost graceful. Until he hit an outcropping. After that, it was a Raggedy-Ann tumble for the next six hundred feet. The only sound was his scream, and his only perception was that of the cliff face going by him in a blur of white sandstone. He smashed into rock and gravel at the bottom, neck twisted rearward in such a way that his chin could touch the bottom of his right shoulder blade. None of his colleagues on the plain below had seen it happen or heard his cry.
A pair of dark eyes had seen it, though—the man falling through cool sunlight, the thin and yellow sunlight that sweeps this land in middle spring—but nothing would be said. Nothing, not ever. It was the way of things. That was known long before the horse soldiers rode through here on their way to the Little Big Horn. That was known a long time ago.
Carlisle McMillan leaned on a fence post, looked west, stared at the distance. Great run of empty space, broken only by an occasional butte. The one a half mile to his right, 3,237 feet high, was called Wolf Butte. A woman was dancing there on the crest, but Carlisle couldn't see her.
Bare feet on short grass, she moved. Far off, far down, she could just make out a figure standing beside a pickup truck. Twenty feet behind her, the Indian played a flute, his back resting against the gnarled trunk of a long-dead scrub pine.
A low-slung cloud moved onto the butte, the cold wetness of it touching the graceful arch of the woman's back, touching the curve of her legs. It touched her face and the opal ring on her left middle finger and the silver bracelet around her right wrist, touched the silver falcon hanging from the chain around her neck. The Indian could not see her clearly anymore, only transient sightings through the cloud, a momentary view of leg or breast or the swing of long auburn hair as she turned. But still he played, knowing the cloud would pass, knowing she would come to him.
Far off and far down, Carlisle McMillan shifted his truck into reverse and backed onto the road, grinding into the mud a tunic button that once fastened the blue coat of Trooper Jimmy C. Knowles, Seventh Cavalry. When the cloud drifted away from the butte and the woman again could see what lay on the plain below her, the figure was gone, only the vague image of a pickup truck moving south.
The flute angled down to silence. She raised her arms through the mist to the sky, lowered them, and walked toward the Indian. He was old, but his body was hard like fence wire, and she settled onto him. The wind was light and cool and wet. Close to her, he could smell the sandalwood with which she had bathed that morning. The rain lifted for a moment, and over the Indian's shoulder she watched the hawk flying toward a cliff, the same one from which her father had glimpsed the earth rising toward him.
