Warriors shrug off Curry absence to beat Rockets
(The Sports Xchange) - With Stephen Curry out of action due to an ankle injury Monday night, Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr was comforted knowing he had Shaun Livingston in reserve.
Oh, and the 2015 NBA Finals Most Valuable Player, too.
Livingston began and ended a key fourth-quarter spurt with baskets, and supersub Andre Iguodala helped make up for Curry's lost firepower with four 3-pointers as the Warriors won a second straight from the Houston Rockets in their best-of-seven series, 115-106.
Golden State, now 2-0 in the postseason after a record-setting, 73-win regular season, was able to win without Curry, who injured his right ankle late in the second quarter of the Warriors' blowout win in Game 1 on Saturday. He had been listed as questionable for Game 2.
The reigning regular-season Most Valuable Player, who scored 24 points in just 20 minutes in Game 1, declared himself out shortly after cutting short a pregame warmup that was designed to test the ankle.
"When you lost the MVP, you have concern," Kerr said. "But we believe in our depth and in our ability to win when we're down a man, even if it is Steph."
Curry's status for Game 3, which is scheduled for Thursday night in Houston, remains up in the air.
"We never want to put winning ahead of a player's career and his health," Kerr said. "We want to make sure Steph is right and his (ankle) is fine and healthy.
"Obviously, being up 2-0 does give us more cushion if we decide to sit him (in Game 3). But it will be based on his health, not the series score." Continued...

As per the script, Dhanush plays a local Varanasi boy, and Sonam essays a Varanasi girl educated in Delhi.
For Sonam, it was decided that her accented Hindi and the haute-couture look just won't do for the film.
At first the director was not sure if Sonam could carry off the role. But after meeting her, he was convinced.
Abhay Deol plays the role of a political aspirant in the film.
Sonam says her goal now is to be a part of interesting projects that would satisfy the actress in her.
Sonam Kapoor says she feels like a newcomer in front of the 'Kolaveri' singer despite her seven-year-old career in Bollywood.
'Ranjhanaa' will hit the theatres on June 28, 2013.
Actress Sonam Kapoor has landed the role of a Varanasi girl, who studies in the capital's Jawaharlal Nehru University in 'Raanjhanaa'. She is cast opposite southern star Dhanush.
However, Sonam does not really play the quintessential Varanasi girl. Her character is that of a local girl who has been to college in Delhi for three years, and returned to her home town as quite the sophisticated small-towner with an acquired metropolitan air.
The love story is directed by Anand L Rai.
The actress started her acting career with Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Saawariya' in 2007 opposite Ranbir Kapoor. The film did not do well at the box-office but Sonam was noticed for her screen presence.
The Bollywood's fashionista is ready with three big projects - 'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag', 'Raanjhanaa' and 'Khoobsurat' remake.
Dhanush was last seen in his wife's film '3'.
This is the debut Bollywood project of Dhanush.
The actress is quite busy with her back-to-back projects including 'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag', 'Khubsoorat' remake and filmmaker Nupur Asthana's Yash Raj project.
Sonam would be reprising the role played by Rekha in the remake of 'Khubsoorat' and the actress is ready to face comparisons with the legendary diva.
Sonam's recent films 'Thank You', 'Mausam' and 'Players' did not fare well but the actress believes they helped her understand the kind of roles she wants to do.
The 27-year-old actress says she is not in a hurry to be on the top.
Sonam had attended workshops and interacted with the students to prepare for her role.
The film also marks the debut of Tamil superstar Dhanush in Hindi cinema.

We would like to comment on the article recently published in CHEST (September 2008) by Vanhecke et al,1 who reported that morbidly obese patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) had lower peak oxygen consumption (V̇o2) and slower heart rate recovery than obese patients without OSAS.
First, given that fat is a metabolically inactive indexing of peak V̇o2 to body weight in obese patients can be misleading with respect to the severity of functional impairment.2 Body weight is not cited in the article, but body mass index tended to be higher in OSAS patients1; therefore, we wondered whether absolute peak V̇o2 (expressed in liters per minute) or percent predicted peak V̇o2 (equations typically do not include weight) also differed between groups. Interestingly, the majority of patients were women who generally have less lean body mass than men. We also encourage the authors to report values for respiratory exchange ratio at peak exercise as this will help to interpret data. In a study among 81 less obese OSAS patients,3 which was quoted by Vanhecke et al1 (42 OSAS patients) as one of the studies "limited by small sample sizes," we have found that percent predicted peak V̇o2 was normal in patients with mild, moderate, and severe OSAS. Notably, apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) was similar in both reports (mean AHI, 32.5 episodes/h; median AHI, 34 episodes/h).1,3
Second, the observation of a delayed heart rate recovery in OSAS patients1 is not novel but concurs very nicely with the findings of our previously published study4 revealing that OSAS severity expressed as AHI was independently associated with heart rate recovery 1 min after exercise termination. We further demonstrated in an uncontrolled trial5 that nasal continuous positive airway pressure ventilation for approximately 8 months led to an improvement in heart rate recovery 1 min after exercise termination and heart rate recovery 2 min after exercise termination in patients with severe OSAS.

The Minnesota Vikings have been focusing on the offensive line for the better part of the last year.
In 2015, the Vikings entered the regular season without two starters – center John Sullivan and right tackle Phil Loadholt.
A year later, Loadholt is gone, having retired before the start of training camp, and Sullivan has been splitting first-team reps with Joe Berger.
The 2016 complication has been that Brandon Fusco, in his third season in Norv Turner's offense, is making his third switch.
In 2014, he showed the new coaching staff enough that he was rewarded with a contract extension.
In 2015, he moved to left guard by design.
This year, he's back at his natural position but has been sidelined, allowing 2015 Sully-replacement Berger to make his case for a starting job one slot to the right.
Fusco has returned to practice this week and Turner said he has been pleased with his performance and production.
"He came back, and I thought he has had good practices," Turner said. "He's back at right guard and I think what we're doing in the run fits him. We expect him to have, really, a good year."
Last season, Fusco admitted that he didn't feel physically right in terms of his strength and he struggled with his move from the right side to the left.
Being back at his natural position has Turner seeing many of the same positive qualities he did in his first season with the Vikings in 2014, when Fusco was a very strong right guard.
Turner believes that a move back to right guard will be a positive and, from the coach's view, he's passing the eyeball test.
"He really looks good to me," Turner said. "He has missed a few days, but, when he came back, he looks real good."
A year ago, a couple of O-line injuries sent Vikings fans into horn-curling panic. A year later, not so much.
If Fusco can return to the form that earned a second NFL contract, the Vikings O-line will be just fine heading into combat when the bullets matter and casualties are counted.
August offensive line questions are becoming commonplace for Vikings fans. But, this time around, the concerns of Plan A are lessened. The longer the 2016 Vikings can stick to Plan A on the O-line, the better. Having Fusco at right guard is a tenet of Plan A.null

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is increasingly used on an ambulatory basis. This study aimed to examine its effectiveness for carefully selected patients.
A systematic review of Cochrane, Embase, and Medline using the keywords "ambulatory," "laparoscopic," and "cholecystectomy" was performed. Postoperative complications leading to admissions and readmissions were compared between day care and inpatient laparoscopic cholecystectomy groups. Postoperative quality of life, patient satisfaction, and cost effectiveness also were analyzed.
The search process identified seven clinical trials suitable for meta-analysis. These trials, consisting of 598 patients, compared day care and inpatient procedures. The unplanned admission rate in the ambulatory group was comparable with the prolonged hospitalization of inpatients (odds ratio [OR], 1.979; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.846–4.628). There was no significant difference between the readmission rates of the two groups (OR, 0.964; 95% CI, 0.318–2.922). The quality-of-life indicators were similar for the ambulatory and overnight-stay patients (p = 0.195). The cost effectiveness was better for the day care procedures because of the shorter mean hospital stay.
Ambulatory laparoscopic cholecystectomy can be performed safely for selected patients, with reduced cost and a high level of patient satisfaction.

FOX Officially Orders Batman Orgin Series 'Gotham'
The Batman origin series Gotham has received a full-series pickup by Fox. Though the high-profile project had been expected to get the green light, Fox is making it official one week before it announces its full fall lineup. Gotham, which stars Jada Pinkett Smith and Donal Logue, focuses on Detective James Gordon (Ben McKenzie), and is based upon characters published by DC Entertainment, telling stories that have not yet been told. "I'm super excited about Gotham," Logue said recently. "It's an exciting thing; it's going to be here in New York. It's one of those funny things where they're super secretive, so you have to go to a secret place to read a script and give away your phone."

The New Economy Coalition (NEC) is a network of organizations imagining and building a future where people, communities, and ecosystems thrive. Together, we are creating deep change in our economy and politics—placing power in the hands of people and uprooting legacies of harm—so that a fundamentally new system can take root.
Our network advances change in three main ways:
We convene and connect leaders to tackle common challenges in their work to build a new economy.
We amplify stories, tools, and analysis, weaving a collective new economy narrative that can build shared identity, shift culture and policy, and promote a clear vision of the next system.
We lift up the work of communities on the frontlines of interrelated economic and ecological crises who are organizing for transformative change, through right relationships and direct support.
NEC currently focuses on issues and actors in North America, recognizing the global implications of change in this region. The activities of our members take place on all levels, from purely local to national and regional. In the longer term we aim to align with movements for change throughout the world that will move all societies towards peace, wellbeing and ecological health.

Emmanuel, If you get a minute can you take a look at this test here for me. It's ModifyRdnIT which has some tests now failing after porting to the new server-integ area. The odd thing is the tests are failing only for international characters. If you get an idea of what it could be that would be great otherwise I'll just go deep into debugging it. http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=683013 Thanks, Alex -- Microsoft gives you Windows, Linux gives you the whole house ...

Edit Article
wikiHow to Arrange for Your Child to Fly Alone
Children between the ages of 5 and 14 who travel by air without a parent or guardian are known as unaccompanied minors (UMs). Millions of children fly alone safely every year, but you should take all necessary precautions when you arrange for your child to fly alone. Air travel has changed in recent years—there is much more congestion at the airports and in the air. Flights get cancelled, or sometimes delayed for hours. The steps below explain how you can prepare your child for a solo trip that will be safe and enjoyable.
1Research the air carrier. Determine first if the carrier flies to your child's destination city. If the carrier has direct flights to the destination city, inquire about their unaccompanied minor (UM) policies. Most airlines have similar policies on UMs, but it pays to do your homework:
- Compare UM surcharges. Some airlines charge $100 each way for each child, some charge as little as $25 each way.
- Ask the airline representative if they offer any bonuses for UMs. Some airlines allow your child to step into the cockpit and speak with the pilot. Some airlines offer free snack boxes, or "kid's clubs" at their hub airports. Some airlines have a policy about seating Ums together with all other UMs, either in the front or the back of the plane. Some airlines will allow you to choose your child's seat.
2Inquire about connections. Some airlines will not allow a UM to travel on connecting flights. Most airlines that do allow a UM to travel on a connecting flight will charge a fee for airline personnel to assist your child with changing planes.
3Ask about all required paperwork. You will have to download and print out consent and liability release forms and have them filled out prior to the flight. You will have to provide your child's name and age, as well as details about any medical considerations, including prescription medicine. You will also list the name of the person whom you are authorizing to pick up your child when the plane lands. (Upon arrival, your child will be escorted into the terminal and released to the person you have authorized.)
4Be very clear about the airline carriers policy on young adult passengers. Most airlines consider a child of 12 or over to be a young adult, and don't assist the child on the flight unless you specifically request the assistance and pay the fee. If you don't make such arrangements, the airline expects your child to be responsible for making his or her own plans if a flight is canceled, delayed or redirected.
5Keep flight arrangements as simple as possible. Even if the airline allows your child to take connecting flights, it isn't an ideal situation. Try to book a nonstop flight, or a direct "through" flight, so your child will not have to leave the aircraft. Make reservations; do not allow your child to fly standby even if the airline permits it.
6Arrange for your child's meals. If food will be served during the flight, reserve a meal for your child, especially if your child has dietary restrictions. Vegetarian, Kosher and other special meals must be reserved. If there is no meal service, be sure to pack a meal for your child.
7Request e-tickets. Electronic tickets, stored in the airline's computer, means your child won't have to worry about carrying and possibly losing a paper ticket.
8Don't forget about medications. Most airlines will not permit their employees to administer medication to children under any circumstances. If your child requires medication that he or she cannot take unassisted and which would normally be necessary during the time of the flight, ask your child's doctor about alternatives.
9Prepare your child for everything he or she might expect before, during and after the flight:
- Remind your child that he or she is not to leave the airport alone, or with a stranger. Instruct your child to inform a uniformed airline employee or security guard if he or she needs help or feels threatened. This includes telling the flight attendant if anyone seated nearby is causing him or her distress.
- Explain to your child what to do if he or she will be on a connecting flight. Put the details in writing and include the name of the connecting airport and flight details and tell your child to keep the paper in a safe place. Include information about the return flight as well.
- Explain that an airline employee will escort him or her off the plane to meet the person authorized to pick them up. Emphasize to your child that he or she must never exit the plane alone, including exiting if the plane stops en route to pick up and discharge passengers. If your child has any doubt about whether to get off the airplane at a particular stop, or any other questions or concerns, tell him or her to ask a flight attendant. Also, let your son or daughter know about the flight attendant call button above the seat.
- Tell your child he or she may be given a badge to wear and that it must be worn at all times.
- Instruct your child to pay attention to all announcements on the flight and to promptly comply with any request made by the pilot or flight attendants.
10Do everything necessary to make your child's flight comfortable:
- Dress your child in comfortable clothes that aren't hard to manage in the aircraft's small lavatories. (Explain how to use a lavatory on an aircraft if your child has never been in one.)
- Label any clothing that your child might remove during the flight, such as a sweater or a coat.
- Tell your child there will be no direct supervision on the flight, and he or she is expected to behave at all times. Explain the airline's policy about safety procedures and about standing or walking in the aisle.
- Explain how meals and refreshments are served. Tell your child how to request additional juice, soda, or water.
11Pack a small carry-on bag for your child and include the following items:
- A copy of your child's complete itinerary, including dates, airline name(s), flight numbers, departure and arrival times, and the reservation record locator number. Include your home, work and cell phone numbers and the phone numbers of the person meeting the flight on this itinerary (Mail a copy of the itinerary to the person who will be meeting your child.) Tell your child to keep this information inside the carry-on bag.
- Include some items that will entertain your child, such as books, travel games and crayons. If you include a portable DVD or CD player, explain to your child the airline's rules regarding electronic devices. Be sure to pack headphones or any electronic device. Remind your child that the flight attendant or pilot might make an announcement requesting that all electronic devices be turned off for takeoff and landing and that he or she should do as requested.
- Include items in the carry-on bag that your child might need if his or her checked luggage gets lost or delayed. Pack medications, eyeglasses, hearing aids, toothbrush and paste and an extra change of clothes.
12Pack some snacks, even if a meal is to be served. Include gum, for chewing during take-off and landing to relieve air pressure changes.
13Give your child a cell phone or a pre-paid throwaway phone and explain to him or her how to use it. Show your child how to make a call, receive a call and how to turn the phone on and off. Program in your numbers and the numbers of the person your child will be meeting at the end of the flight. It's also a good idea to explain how to make a collect long-distance call from a pay telephone.
14Give your child a small amount of cash.
15Allow extra time at the airport. In addition to arriving several hours early, factor in traffic delays, security delays and time you might need to fill out any extra paperwork that may be required at check-in.
Community Q&A
I'm 15 and I plan on flying to Texas very soon. Is there anything I need to bring and do before I get on the plane?wikiHow ContributorPack whatever you need for the trip. Also, be prepared for the climate and how long you are going to be there -- check the weather for Texas during your visit time and pack accordingly. Get to the airport two hours early -- many things go wrong with flights, such as queues, weather and air traffic delays.
If you're 15, can you fly alone?wikiHow ContributorChildren between the ages of 6 and 14 may fly as "accompanied minors" - meaning they have a flight attendant guiding them. You may fly alone without a guide as soon as you reach your twelfth birthday. If you are flying alone, you are required to have one government-issued piece of identification that is proof of your age.
I am 13-years-old and thinking of traveling from Italy to England, and I don't know which airline to choose. What are the most important things to take, and should I have a direct or connecting flight?wikiHow ContributorHi, bro I myself am 14. Since I have flown once alone, I can give you some tips: 1) Check the UM handling policy of the airline. 2) Check whether United Kingdom allows UMs to be able to clear immigration alone. 3) Generally flag carriers have some extra facilities for people travelling alone under the age of 16, so better choose either Alitalia or British Airways. 4) Last but not least, choose a direct flight and not a connecting one and DON'T fly standby. Happy Journey!
Does a 16 year-old have to be checked and with someone over 18?wikiHow ContributorIf by "checked," you mean by security, yes. And no, a 16 year-old doesn't have to be with someone over 18.
How do I cope with flying alone if I am 12-years-old?wikiHow ContributorIt's really fun and easy, just follow the signs at the airport and if you have any problems or get lost, ask for help. For the flight itself, pack gum to chew. Bring your phone/iPod, etc. or a book. Just plan/pack ahead of time and you'll be totally fine.
Why would children travel alone? Why can't they go with a parent?wikiHow ContributorThey may be visiting other family, and the parent may not be able to come because of plans or work.
What can I do to feel safe and comfortable when I am afraid of take off and landing?wikiHow ContributorIf you feel scared, you should take a few deep breaths before takeoff and remind yourself that the plane isn't going to crash. You have a 1 in a million chance of a plane crash. Deep breathing and positive self-talk is also helpful for the landing.
I'm 12 and will be flying with my 8-year-old brother. Any tips?wikiHow ContributorTell your brother to respect the flight attendant. If he becomes scared, play with him to entertain him.
What should a 13-year-old bring to the airport other than a passport and belongings? Is there anything I should be prepared for?wikiHow ContributorBring an extra outfit in case you need it. Consider bringing a blanket and/or a travel pillow. Bring books, a cell phone, tablet/iPad, etc. Also bring money for snacks or trinkets.

If this question (or a similar one) is answered twice in this section, please click here to let us know.
- If your child is very young and has a favorite toy, stuffed animal or blanket, allow him to take it along on the flight.
- Tell your child about pressure changes during takeoff and descent and how those changes can make one's ears slightly uncomfortable. Explain to your child that he or she can swallow or yawn several times, or chew gum.
- Discuss with your child the various sounds he or she might hear before, during and at the end of the flight. Explain that the sounds are routine and will include the noise of the engines throttling up, the whining noise made by the wings and the landing gear engaging. Explain that sometimes there are air pockets or weather conditions that can make the plane ride feel bumpy.
- Introduce your child to the airport. If your child has never flown, it's a good idea to take him or her to the local airport to have a look around. Take him or her as far as the security gates and explain the security procedures. Point out where assistance is available. On the day of the flight, you will be allowed to accompany your child to the departure gate, but a little familiarity beforehand won't hurt.
- Airlines require that UMs be met at their destination by a guardian or other responsible adult. Be sure to remind that person to bring proper identification. They will need a valid ID to be let through security to go to the arrival gate, and they will need to prove their identity before your child is released to them.
- Ask the airline what their policy is should a flight get cancelled, or have to make an emergency landing that would require an overnight stay. Some airlines have special unaccompanied minor centers in their hubs; some have a policy of having your child escorted to a hotel, where an airline employee will stay in an adjoining room.

Patrick McBriarty
Patrick McBriarty, a former business person and consultant, over a decade ago discovered a new focus and fascination for Chicago bridges. His first book Chicago River Bridges won the 2013 Henry N. Barkhausen Award for original research on Great Lakes maritime history and presents the untold history and development of Chicago's iconic bridges. From the first wood footbridge built by a tavern owner in 1832 to the fantastic marvels of steel, concrete, and machinery of today, and was published by the University of Illinois Press in October 2013. Concurrently from 2011-13 with filmmaker Stephen Hatch, the duo independently co-produced the documentary Chicago Drawbridges, which was has been broadcast on Chicago and Milwaukee public television and has its first international screening in Hamburg, Germany on February 17.
Patrick is currently working on the forthcoming PTM Werks series of illustrated children's books to sharing his excitement and appreciation for bridges and how things work with a smaller audience. His first children's photographic book Bridges of All Kinds is available on his website www.PTMWerks.com and Drawbridges Open and Close illustrated by Johanna Kim is currently under review with several publishers. Patrick holds a bachelors in business administration and a masters in economics from Miami University.

Looking for different ways to carry honey on multiple day trips.
The Beeman
@joefishLocale: All Over California
I'm sure someone will suggest those little individual packets of BS honey, but if you actually keep bees or have access to the good stuff (like from my father in law) a 2 oz squeeze bottle packs plenty for a shorter trip. Get the kind with the little spout that pops up in the center so it's easy to lick clean.
I alternate honey with Justin's almond butter packets to liven up my special "lunch" clif bar :-)
@sarbarLocale: In the shadow of Mt. Rainier
Both ways Joe mentions work great. Packets are good for single use – like in a cup of tea or on a tortilla but yeah, if you like a lot take a squeeze bottle.
Also, dry honey powder can be found. Not quite as good though tasting but very convenient!
@adamallstarLocale: Central Texas
Not sure how much you're looking to carry or how you plan on using it, there is a really good candy called Honees that is like a hard candy with honey on the inside. You can find them on amazon or if there is a world market store nearby.
I'd think they would dissolve really well in a hot beverage or in some warm oatmeal. mmmm

Scientists in China are reporting development and testing of new self-sanitizing plaster with more powerful antibacterial effects than penicillin. The material could be used in wall coatings, paints, art works and other products.
Liang-jie Yuan and colleagues note that plaster has been used for centuries as building material and surfaces for great works of art, including Michelangelo's famed Sistine Chapel ceiling in Vatican City. The new, first-of-its kind plaster —formed from different ingredients from traditional gypsum plaster — still retains similar mechanical properties while having added antibacterial effects.
Lab tests showed that the so-called "supramolecular" plaster has a "very broad" antibacterial spectrum, killing five types of disease-causing bacteria. When compared with penicillin, the plaster was more effective at controlling growth of four kinds of bacteria, including dangerous Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. "It can be expected that the supramolecular plaster can be used for building, painting, coating and carving, and the coat, brick, or art ware constructed by the plaster do not need additive antiseptic or sterilization," the authors say.

I will look at this tomorrow, but I welcome feedback :-)sounds good to me, I tested with your patch, and I have four fixes for it.
In talking with Daniel about this, he made the point that it is not necessarily desirable for the failure of a tuning parameter (e.g., config specifies cpu 5 and the domain is now being started on a 4 cpu machine) to cause domain creation to fail. He mentioned phones ringing in the middle of the night somewhere for support when the domain fails to start. I think he has a point. Wouldn't it make more sense to start the domain(s) at perhaps suboptimal performance, than to have everything shut down until someone can come and figure out the problem?
It would seem better if the domain started (with no cpu affinity) and a warning was posted. This might also argue for separation of domain config and tuning parameters. Or at least for 2 flavors of create? One that fails if tuning parameters cannot be activated, and one that doesn't.

Chapter 13: Unleashing
The apprentice hunter was impressive. Svara thought Dahlia resembled her enemy as they charged each other; sculptures of muscle, thickness, speed with weight. For a moment, she envied them. Wielding that sort of power had to be intoxicating.
She shook her head and smiled. Since when did she envy the drunk?
Dahlia had implied that the two of them were racing, but Svara would use a more cooperative approach. While the monster was occupied with the clan's monster-in-training, Svara would exploit the weakness she'd found. As the collision approached, Svara wondered if Dahlia would survive long enough to be the distraction she needed. She pushed these worries from her mind and moved into position; the clan had crushed every doubt she'd ever had about them.
The leader of her pursuers had been the first to die to the fleas, and thankfully, he'd wandered a good distance away from the human battle. She tried not to think about his withered corpse as she retrieved his scimitar.
The monster didn't react to Dahlia's rush, sights apparently set on something behind this tiny obstacle. Likewise, Dahlia didn't seem to give much regard to how her target might react. She leapt with all four limbs in front of her, collapsing against them to cushion the impact against its crest. Svara winced, but Dahlia half-grunted-half-growled as she scrambled to secure a foothold. All according to plan, it would seem.
Dahlia braced herself with her left hand and foot on the blunt backside of the creature's horn. Once her right foot was secure on its crest, she raised her axe and brought it down with as much force as she could muster.
The blade struck a metallic tone off the armored skull. Svara couldn't detect any damage, but the blow must have startled the beast. It planted its feet and skidded to a stop, nearly dislodging Dahlia in the process. Its stunted neck didn't have much range of motion, so its young passenger managed to recover even as it tried to shake her loose.
Svara chuckled before Breathing. Axe blows were raining down as Svara sprinted towards her own target. She doubted Dahlia could ever get through that skull, but the monster wasn't enjoying its head doubling as a drum. It would never notice the whispering footsteps at its flank.
The strategy was as much Trent's as it was hers. Any assassin would need to know about armor and how to circumvent it. Breathers were no exception. Those lessons had included the exploitation of joints and seams. The monster's armor wasn't the kind a blacksmith would make, but Svara knew it wouldn't be able to move without weak spots of one sort or another.
Trent had guessed that the blood was being deposited in the host, and Svara knew that humans had a lot of blood. Breathing lessons had included the importance of armor fitting its wearer, and taking so much blood would surely affect the host's size. That change in size would have to affect the host's armor.
Now that she was closing in, she could confirm. Its abdomen was swollen, revealing seams between armor plates. As the host expanded, those cracks had widened enough to fit her scimitar through. She was sure the membrane would be easy to puncture with so much blood pressing against it. This would be her first kill, and she was grateful it was this easy.
Without slowing, she slipped the scimitar into a seam that ran from flank to flank. She applied just enough pressure to slice as she ducked under its belly and emerged on the other side. The sound and scent of blood followed her.
As the stolen blood flowed, its abdomen contracted, eventually causing the different armor plates to lock together. The gushing stopped, but Svara was sure the internal bleeding would continue. The beast continued its attempts to buck Dahlia off its face, but the thrashing was sluggish now. Even as it collapsed, the monster was unaware of the wound that killed it.
Dahlia could scarcely climb down before the rest of the clan mobbed them. If Svara had any regrets about what she'd done, they were lost in the jubilation. As many as could manage embraced both of the young women, jumping as they did. Others crowded the kill; an older sibling had to stop Trent from burning himself as he tried to climb behind the crest with a makeshift torch.
Svara didn't expect her first kill to be like this. The crowd's energy was intoxicating, and she was just as giddy as they were. The clergy had told her this would be sacred; her parents said it would be somber. Was this uninhibited joy because it was only a beast?
Whatever the case, this was okay. This was more than okay.
"'ow'd ya do it?" Dahlia had managed to push her way through the crowd. She had a strange look on her face, like she was both defeated and overjoyed. "I couldn't see, was too busy tryin' not ta get tossed!"
"It got too big for its armor," Svara shouted back. They could barely hear each other over the clan's celebration. "Its belly started poking through, and I was able to slice it open."
"Good thinkin', stranger!" Dahlia clapped her on the shoulder, but Svara could still sense her wounded pride. "Ya won the race."
"I never agreed to a race, Dahlia," Svara countered. "I couldn't have done it without you. If it hadn't stopped running, I couldn't have made such a big wound."
From the look on her face, this was exactly what Dahlia wanted to hear. "Really?"
"Really! Why do you think they're praising you so much?" Svara put her own hand on Dahlia's shoulder. "This kill is as much yours as it is mine."
The apprentice hunter beamed at this. Her eyes glistened a little, and Svara got the impression that Dahlia wasn't really listening anymore.
The human battle had been nagging at her ever since the monster collapsed, but she recognized several of the hunters inspecting the carcass. Even Kirana was perched on its back, pondering ways it might be put to use. Svara figured if she was here, then all the Breathers had either been killed or routed.
It was over; Svara was free. Sending this unit after her had already been an over-commitment, the Destroyer would not devote more resources to her. She doubted he even knew this pursuit had happened. He wouldn't make that choice when he didn't even know there was a choice to make.
Just yesterday, Svara was ready to die. These people wedged their way into her life and trampled her resolve. She couldn't be more grateful.
There was much to think about, but the clan was slow to let her start. She lost count of the times she explained the wound, and the only injuries she suffered that night came from overzealous congratulations. Some of the children even asked her and Dahlia to critique their reenactment of the kill.
"What should we call it?" Evan asked, motioning at the carcass.
"You're asking me?" Svara raised an eyebrow at him.
"Why not?" Evan shrugged. "Ya killed it, ya can name it if ya want."
"I'll pass." Svara glanced around and spotted Trent inspecting the creature's skull. "Trent, what should we call him?"
"Who cares?" Trent was as terse as ever. "I have better things to do."
"Come on, we need your brain for this one, Trent!" Svara coaxed, hoping she wasn't cruel for teasing him. "Do you need me to beg?"
Trent groaned. "Fleahorn. There, it's named. Leave me be!"
Those who heard shared a good laugh. The name was terrible, but as the story spread, the name began to stick.
As the night wore on, she began to realize why they were so focused on celebrating the kill. They were stalling. The dead still needed dealing with, and Svara could understand why nobody wanted to get started. The hunters - outnumbered three-to-one - accomplished a miracle that night, but that did little to mitigate their grief for those who fell.
Three hunters were dead and one was low on blood, or so she was told. There were no signs of a live enemy, and the last report she heard numbered their dead around thirty; nine or ten had been crushed or drained, the rest slain by human hands. None of the human deaths were being celebrated. Enemy or no, the dead should be mourned.
Svara wondered if even Fleahorn's death was a tragedy. Were they right to celebrate it? None of them knew what it was like inside its head. Were they sure it was so different from them?
She shook the thought away. This is the harshest home I've ever seen. This is the kind of kill that allows them to survive in it. There's no other choice, so what's left to regret?
Home. The word reminded her of how much she had to consider. The last few weeks had acclimated her to being homeless. While she didn't watch it happen, she was sure her family was dead. Even if they weren't, she couldn't return to the monastery.
The pursuit had gone so long, and the pursuers were of such a caliber that she thought the chase would never end. Like the wind, she'd rush across the world's surface until she was physically incapable. Svara still gusted, but her wake was empty now. What came next?
"Ya miss the North?" Dahlia asked. The elder had offered her tent to Svara, but she'd lost her apprehensions for sharing one of the apprentices' tents.
"No," Svara replied. "I miss my family, but not the North. I've always wanted to see the rest of the world. I wish I'd had time to enjoy the places I've been, and I still wish I could share them with my parents. But no, I don't hear the monastery calling me."
"What was the East like?" Idris asked. "The South?"
"Big," Svara laughed. "So big you can't describe the whole thing the same way. Especially the South! The North is like that too, I've never been to most of it. There's so much out there. I can say this much: the East was dry, and the South was hot."
"It gets hotter as we go South too," Jaquan observed. "Why is that?"
"You guys travel a lot?" Svara asked. "Do you have more than one camp?"
"You could say that," Jedrek said. "We're nomads. We travel along the woods' western border. We even dip into southern and northern territory at our route's extremes. What are the names of those nations, again?"
"The North is Matorbihumi." Svara grinned when she thought of the South. "I don't remember the South's name. I like that you guys have more than one home. I always wished I could leave the monastery."
"Was it bad there?" Jaquan asked.
"No," Svara admitted. "I just like moving. It feels free."
"Well, we move a lot." Lyn didn't even try to be subtle. "You could always share our home. We carry most of it with us, sort of like turtles."
Svara resisted the impulse to decline. She had to refuse when she was being hunted. Now she found herself on the opposite extreme, inundated with infinite choices. Sure, she was used to fine clothes, sturdy walls, and soft beds; but this wasn't so bad. Among infinite options, what could she say to disqualify the first one?
1.) Anticlimactic? I'm happy with a sigh of relief, but if you were never worried or feel disappointed, then I have problems to fix.
2.) Is the flow okay? Y'know, pacing. The beginning of the chapter is an action sequence and by the end we're jumping between highlights of the aftermath; does that work for you, and can ya help me make it work?

American Bus Association Names New Brunswick Highland Games Festival One of North America's 100 Best Events for 2013
It's official! The American Bus Association (ABA) announced that the New Brunswick Highland Games Festival - July 26-28, 2013 - has been designated as one of the Top 100 Events in North America for 2013 by an experienced expert tourism indus
try selection committee. Inclusion in the Top 100 list, published as a supplement to the September/October issue of Destinations magazine, indicates that the New Brunswick Highland Games Festival offers excellent entertainment value to both tour groups and individual travelers from around the world, according to ABA.
With the release of the American Bus Association's 2013 Top 100 Events in North America, ABA celebrates 31 years of the program. What began as a way for motorcoach operators to incorporate new product into their itineraries has grown to one of the most sought-after lists by travel professionals, motorcoach operators and the general public.
"The attractiveness of the New Brunswick Highland Games Festival as a don't-miss entertainment value is only part of why its selection this year is such a distinction for Fredericton, said Peter J. Pantuso, CTIS, ABA's president and CEO. "The real news here is that New Brunswick Highland Games Festival has been recognized as a potential magnet for tourism dollars, at a time when re-energizing domestic tourism is so important to our spirit and our economy. The honor gives Fredericton an important boost in visibility among professional tour planners."
According to studies completed by researchers at The George Washington University and Dunham and Associates, one overnight visit by a motorcoach group can leave from US $5,000 to more than US $11,000 in a local destination's economy. Those dollars are spent on lodging, meals, admissions, fees, shopping, souvenirs, services and local taxes.
"Motorcoach groups spend more and stay longer," Pantuso said. "That's why the New Brunswick Highland Games Festival is truly a local economic asset. There is no better way to jump-start tourism than to attract motorcoach groups to a great event and convince them to extend their stay."
ABA's 2013 Top 100 Events Selection Committee selected the New Brunswick Highland Games Festival from hundreds of event nominations submitted by ABA members. Judges considered the event's broad appeal, its accessibility to motorcoaches and skill at handling large groups, and a variety of other relevant criteria.
The Top 100 Events list is available online at http://www.buses.org/News-Publications/Top-100.

Educate Me
Intelligence goes beyond academics.
It saddens me that even the winters cold grasp on this two toned place can't even disregard the warm glow of the sun while I'm stuck in this patch of bitter froze.
My reality doesn't come it goes, because nothing they ever taught me amounts the wisdom a mountain holds.
Soft earth standing against time,
mightier than anything man has ever known, ever built.
I would like to see a text book enlighten me like a warm summer storm. Tossing my being like wind tosses hair, drenching me with life, as the winds spirit replaces air.
I will wade into the waves surrender my sins to their graceful discipline
because the ocean knows which secrets to hold.
Before you shove your numbers down our throats
Show us how to respect.
Show us how to hold the hands of those
who judge each other as if its their right,
who where taught it was their right.
But here I stand froze from the things society forgot to teach themselves.

I was just coming out of having a tough time at home when I drew this. I reflected on the past few days and the emotional roller coaster I was on and this is what came out. Literally. I had NO IDEA what I was going to draw. It was very meditative and therapeutic. Who knew a moleskin could replace a therapist?

Historic Oscar hat-trick for 'Best Actor' Daniel Day-Lewis
Day-Lewis completed took home the Best Actor Oscar for his poignant portrayal of a battle weary Abraham Lincoln.
Los Angeles: Hot favourite Daniel Day-Lewis completed a historic hat-trick as he took home the Best Actor Oscar for his poignant portrayal of a battle weary Abraham Lincoln in Steven Spielberg's civil-war set biopic 'Lincoln'.
The win for the British actor, who played a brief role in Richard Attenborough's "Gandhi", did not come as a surprise as he was strongly tipped to win. He had already collected the Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild and British BAFTA awards, in the long award season of Hollywood ahead of Oscars.
Interestingly, the 'notoriously'-selective actor had initially refused the role as he thought it would be proper for an American to play Lincoln but once he agreed, Day-Lewis devoted himself on painfully researching every little detail
about the 16th president for an year to bring out an intense and touching portrayal.
"I do know that I've received so much more than my fortune. Three years go, I'd actually been committed to play Margaret Thatcher and my role was Steven's first choice for Lincoln... My fellow nominees, my equals, I'm so proud... I'd
like to thank Kathleen Kenndey, our producer. I owe this to three men - Tony Kushner, Steven Spielberg and the spirit of Abraham lincoln," he said while accepting the best actor trophy.
Day-Lewis plays Lincoln prior to his assassination in 1865. As the four-year-old Civil War continues to rage, the president struggles to bring a constitutional amendment to abolish slavery and end the carnage on the battlefield.
He is a five time Academy-award nominee. With his latest trophy, he has become the first man to win three Oscars in the leading actor category. He has previously won the Oscars for playing cerebral palsy suffering author and painter Christy Brown in 'My Left Foot' (1989) and in 2007 for portraying an ambitious and misanthropic oil baron in 'There Will Be Blood'. He was also
nominated for 'In The Name of the Father' (1993) and 'Gangs of New York' in 2002.
Day-Lewis was born in London on April 29, 1957, to poet Laureate Cecil Day-Lewis and actress Jill Balcon. Day-Lewis picked up acting from his mother's side but his approach towards it seems inspired by his father.
He likes to immerse himself completely in his roles, staying in costume and in character for the entire shooting period, something that has earned him notoriety and awe in equal measures in his 30-year-old career. If not acting,
Day-Lewis spends his time in carpentry, which is another great passion of his.
Day-Lewis made his debut with a small part in John Schlesinger's 'Sunday, Bloody Sunday' (1971). He followed it with an acting training at Bristol Old Vic. After working in theatre for almost a decade, he made his second appearance as a street thug in 'Gandhi' (1982).
There was no looking back for the actor after that. He made the critics sit and take notice with his two completely different roles -- as a gay street punk in 'My Beautiful Laundrette' and stuffy Edwardian suitor in "A Room With a
Two years later, he was cast in Philip Kaufman's adaptation of Milan Kundera's celebrated novel 'The Unbearable Lightness of Being', which he capped with his Oscar-winning performance of the cerebral palsy-stricken Christy Brown in
Jim Sheridan's "My Left Foot" (1989).
He returned to stage again but his second theatre stint was not successful. The Richard Eyre's National Theatre production of "Hamlet" ended abruptly when Day-Lewis walked off the stage one night, mid-performance, due to nervous
exhaustion. He never returned to stage after the incident.
The incident also saw him taking a break from movies until 1992. He made a successful return with 'Last of the Mohicans'. He reunited with director Sheridan for 'In the Name of the Father' to play an Irish man wrongly convicted of taking part in an IRA bombing. His third film with Sheridan was "The Boxer" in 1996.
Day-Lewis starred in Martin Scorsese's adaptation of Edith Wharton's "The Age of Innocence" in 1993 before taking up Nicholas Hytner's film adaptation of Arthur Miller's 'The Crucible' in 1996. He met his wife, Rebecca Miller, the
author's daughter during this film.
After "The Boxer", Day-Lewis went on another self-imposed acting exile apparently. Not much is known about this period of his life but it is believed that he took up cobbling after being fascinated by shoe-making in Italy.
He was convinced to return in front of the camera by Leonardo DiCaprio and Scorsese to play Bill the Butcher in "Gangs of New York". After Gangs, he was directed by his wife in the drama 'The Ballad of Jack & Rose' but it was the portrayal of Daniel Plainview, an ambitious, misanthropic oil baron in Paul Thomas Anderson's 'There Will Be Blood' that saw him dominating the award season once again, including the best actor Oscar.
In 2009, he played film director Guido Contini in the movie adaptation of 'Nine'. Spielberg's offer for Day-Lewis to play the 16th US President came in 2010.
Do you think Day-Lewis deserved to win an Oscar for 'Lincoln'?
