Early Life and EducationEdit
In 1814, Edward Everett became a Unitarian minister in Boston, Massachusetts, but, appointed (1815) professor of Greek literature at Harvard, he went abroad to study at the Univ. of Göttingen (Ph.D., 1817) and to travel. During his professorship (1819–25) he also edited (1820–23) the North American Review. Everett was a professor of Greek literature at Harvard University.
Political serviceEdit
He was elected to the United States House of Representatives and served from 4 March, 1825-3 March, 1835. He declined to be a candidate for renomination in 1834. He was governor of Massachusetts from 1836–1839.
Everett served as United States Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to Britain from 1841-1845, declining a commission to China in 1843. He was president of Harvard University from 1846–49
In 1852 he was appointed United States Secretary of State by President Millard Fillmore to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Daniel Webster, and served to 3 March, 1853. He was elected to the United States Senate and served from 4 March, 1853, until his resignation, effective 1 June, 1854. It is said that he was embarrassed by his old-line Whig attitude of compromise on slavery.
Everett was an unsuccessful candidate for Vice President of the United States in 1860 on the Constitutional Union ticket. During the American Civil War, he traveled extensively throughout the North speaking for the Union cause and drawing immense audiences.
Gettysburg OrationEdit
Widely considered the nation's greatest orator of his time, He was invited to give the main speech at the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery at Gettysburg on 19 November, 1863.
The stirring address has been eclipsed in history by President Lincoln's two-minute Gettysburg Address.
Its main focus was nothing short of an outline of the history of warfare, and it began:
- "Standing beneath this serene sky, overlooking these broad fields now reposing from the labors of the waning year, the mighty Alleghanies dimly towering before us, the graves of our brethren beneath our feet, it is with hesitation that I raise my poor voice to break the eloquent silence of God and Nature. But the duty to which you have called me must be performed; — grant me, I pray you, your indulgence and your sympathy."
The town of Everett, Massachusetts, which was incorporated in 1870, was named after him.

About the Book
This is a coffee table book featuring all my Morris paintings throughout 2010. Morris is a cat character conceived in May 2010 after my partner's youngest daughter, Jess gave me the idea of adding a cute/quirky little cat while I was painting a naive street scene. The rest, they say, is history!
Morris has grown from being just Morris to Morris & his mischievous mates who are - Mavis (Morris' ladyfriend!), Spike, Joey and Diesel. So take a look at what these cheeky little characters get up to when no-one's looking!
About the Creator
I am based in Workington, Cumbria, but I originate from Colchester, Essex. I have drawn and painted for as long as I can remember although I didn't really take art up seriously until 2010 when I went to college in Milton Keynes and gained a Diploma in Art and Design. Ambition is something I am not short of. I have three main ambitions with my art right now. 1) To make a living from my art 2) To get into book illustration 3) To paint murals (I've never done one and always wanted to!)

1 Cancer Presumption Claims The Law and Science Behind Presumptive Cancer Claims and Rebutting the Same Presented By: Eric G. Helphrey Managing Partner Stockwell, Harris, Woolverton & Muehl (916) Offices located in Sacramento, Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Luis Obispo, Fresno, Orange, Ventura, San Bernardino, and San Diego Thomas S. Allems, MD, MPH Occupational & Environmental Medicine Toxicology, Internal Medicine (415) Office located in San Francisco
2 Legal Standards 1. Legal Standards a. Labor Code Cancer Presumption; Firefighters, Peace Officers b. Case Law City of Long Beach v. WCAB (Garcia) (2005) 126 Cal. App. 4 th 298, 23 Cal. Rptr. 3d 782, 70 Cal. Comp. Cases 109 Faust v. City of San Diego (2003) 68 Cal. Comp. Cases 1822, (Appeals Board en banc decision) Leach v.

WCAB (2006) 71 Cal. Comp. Cases 66,
3 3 Legal Standards 2. Applies to whom: a. Firefighters (Federal, State, local) Full-time, Part-time, or Volunteer b. Peace Officers primarily engaged in active law enforcement Reserve officers may not be covered depending on the Penal Code ( 830 et seq.) (Dennis Joy v. WCAB ) Not dispatchers, clerks, etc.
4 Threshold Requirements of when the presumption applies 1. Cancer, including leukemia, that develops or manifests itself during service. Manifests === Symptoms, diagnosis or treatment. (See Faust) Manifestation may be significantly earlier than diagnosis. (See Antiattribution clause discussion below pre-existing disease or medical condition applicable to cancer claims (not heart, hernia, pneumonia, infectious blood borne diseases).) 1. The member must demonstrate exposure to a known carcinogen identified by the IARC, or as defined by the Administrative Director. 3. If both 1 and 2 above are established, there is a presumptive injury. Remember, this is a rebuttable presumed injury, not a conclusively 4
5 5 Threshold Requirements (continued) Safety Members Burden - Exposure to a known carcinogen 1. The safety member must establish exposure to a known carcinogen as identified by International Agency for Research for Cancer (IARC) (see pages re: carcinogen science and pages re: IARC), or as identified by the Administrative Director. 2. Failure to identify carcinogen exposure means no application of the cancer presumption (see Garcia, Gomez and Faust cases, et seq.). Per Garcia case in the dicta: Quantity of the carcinogen exposure or the length of time may be a method to rebut presumption. Faust case suggested minimal level of exposure is necessary (does this mean hours or days?).
6 Threshold Requirements (continued) Evidentiary burden shifts to defendant to rebut the presumption after safety member meets threshold requirement. The defendant must show: Establish the primary site of the cancer, and By evidence affirmatively establish there is no reasonable link between the carcinogen and the cancer. Explicit, specific evidence Remember, must be a reasonable link. Thus, a link that is merely remote, hypothetical is NOT a reasonable link (see Garcia) A mere lack of medical evidence linking the carcinogen to the 6
7 Threshold Requirements (continued) Practice Tip: Carcinogen exposure??? Facts! Facts! Facts! Rely on very detailed statements, deposition, PQME reports, treater reports, medical records and other documents to see if the safety member established exposure. The member must identify the specific carcinogens, not just a statement of exposure to carcinogens or toxins, etc. Think tactfully --- that is, be careful not to overly clean up the record. Thus, if during the course of a Panel QME the applicant or PQME fails to clearly identify exposure to a known carcinogen, you may consider going to the WCAB based on that report. You might consider timing of the deposition and the PQME examination. Sometimes I allow the PQME to happen first, then take the deposition afterwards. This is a very fact driven analysis. If I do not feel the applicant has met the burden, then I cancel the deposition and move to the WCAB. Factual record development -- Use careful and specific questioning of any and all 7
8 8 Latency Period Medical Evidence Required: 1. Did exposure pre-date employment? Example: If medical studies establish that 20 years of exposure is necessary before the type of cancer in question can develop and the member has only worked 5 or 10 years - -- then the presumption may be rebutted (see Dennis Joy case). Joy case 10-year latency period. The applicant was a reserve officer and not covered under the presumption pursuant to the Penal Code at the 10-year mark and prior. Leach case, 5 years employment, no finding of industrial cancer presumption. - Presented by Eric G. Helphrey For solid tumors, this latency period is on the order of 20+ years (smoking is a good example) A somewhat shorter latency period implies a heavy intense exposure, and a clear association between the specific carcinogen and the specific cancer should be apparent
9 9 Application of Presumption After Retirement As of 9/30/10, the presumption now extends for 3 months for every year of service, up to a total of 120 months, or 10 years. Prior to 9/30/10, the presumption extended up to 5 years. Whether the 10 year extension applies retroactively has not been determined. Anti-Attribution Clause The Anti-Attribution Clause regarding causation is not applicable to cancer. Yes, this clause is applicable to heart, hernia, pneumonia, and blood-borne infectious disease claims. Thus, under the Anti-Attribution Clause, if a pre-existing disease or medical condition is reasonably linked to the cancer in question, then there may be a rebutting of the cancer presumption. Can you use the Anti-Attribution Clause to reduce permanent disability? Not per
10 10 Other Case Law Breast Cancer County of Ventura v. WCAB (Bastian) The applicant described exposure to benzene and diesel fuel. The AME opined the breast cancer was non-industrial because the member had an abnormal BRCA-2 gene. The WCAB found that the AME s opinion was not substantial evidence. Mere pre-disposition is insufficient. The AME must show actual studies that the carcinogen was not linked to the cancer in question. (Garcia)
11 11 Other Case Law Brain Tumor Fain v. WCAB (Court of Appeal unpublished case) 34-year police office AME assumed applicant may have been exposed to toxic chemicals. Yet, the AME found no evidence of exposure to any known carcinogens. Hence, there was a finding that the threshold burden by the safety member was not met. There was no medical evidence establishing a causal relationship between the member s employment and tumor. The applicant
12 12 Carcinogen a substance (chemical, drug, infectious organism or physical agent) capable of causing cancer. there are various theories of carcinogenesis, but the general principle is that a series of genetic mutations develops in a cell line and in other cells involved in surveillance, regulation and repair processes that then allow the mutated cell to grow uncontrollably leading to a diagnosable cancer. this process is usually spontaneous and multifactorial, due to a poorly understood confluence of genetic susceptibility, lifestyle and dietary / environmental influences. a diagnosis of cancer does not mean that a causal carcinogen is identifiable or must be identified.
13 13 Carcinogen (continued) with the exception of smoking related cancers and skin cancers due to solar radiation, most cancers in the general population are not linked to a carcinogen, although there are many theories about low level environmental carcinogens playing a role in some increasingly common cancers breast, prostate, non-hodgkin s lymphoma, etc. in those cancers that are due to an identified carcinogen, the culprit exposure has almost always occurred over a long period of time (smoking is the best example) a one time exposure to a carcinogen leading to cancer is rare accidental high dose ionizing radiation exposure leading to acute leukemia is an example
14 14 International Agency for Research on Cancer The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) under the auspices of the WHO publishes monographs and updates that analyze the state of the scientific, toxicological and epidemiological literature on chemical, physical and biological agents, mixtures and exposures, and lifestyle and occupational factors and rank them with respect to their potential to cause cancer. Carcinogens are ranked by IARC based on associations with specific cancers in humans ClassificationsGroupOrder.pdf
15 15 IARC group 1-known human-carcinogens Examples of Group 1 carcinogens and target organs Asbestos lung cancer and mesothelioma Ionizing radiation bone, lung, liver, thyroid, breast cancers and leukemia Silica lung Arsenic skin, lung Cadmium lung Benzene leukemia (acute myeloid) Diesel engine exhaust lung, bladder Alcoholic beverages liver and others Hepatitis C infection liver Postmenopausal estrogen therapy breast, uterus
16 16 IARC group 2A-probable human-carcinogens Examples of Group 2A carcinogens Various chemotherapy drugs - bone marrow Human papilloma virus cervix, tonsils Various polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons present in products of combustion lung, bladder and skin Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) liver, biliary tract Styrene Trichloroethylene liver, lymphoma, kidney Various dyes bladder
17 17 IARC group 2B-possible human-carcinogens Examples of Group 2B carcinogens Lead and other metals Variety of antibiotics, antifungal and antiviral agents Phenobarbital and oxazepam and other drugs Various polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons present in products of combustion Some chlorinated hydrocarbons Various chemicals used in the plastics and rubber industry Various dyes, nitro compounds and some pesticides
18 18 Firefighter exposures It is accepted that firefighters, in the usual course of their firefighting duties, are exposed to numerous toxins and recognized human carcinogens (known and suspected) that are unavoidably present in the general products of combustion smoke, particulates, vapors and fumes (including off-gassing after the fire when SCBAs were often removed). Increased attention to SCBA use has decreased exposure levels Depending on the specific compound being consumed by fire (e.g. plastic, preserved wood, stored chemicals, asbestos containing building materials, etc.), other carcinogens may be elaborated that are more specific to that particular fire.
19 19 Firefighter Exposures asbestos polyaromatic hydrocarbons benzo(a)pyrene benzene formaldehyde arsenic dioxins polychlorinated biphenyls vinyl chloride Most Common Firefighter Carcinogens Diesel engine exhaust IARC group 1 associated with lung (and bladder) cancer Asbestos IARC group 1 associated with lung cancer and mesothelioma Benzene IARC group 1 associated with acute myeloid leukemia
20 20 IARC Firefighting is Ranked Group 2B 6.1 Cancer in humans There is limited evidence in humans for the carcinogenicity of occupational exposure as a firefighter. 6.2 Cancer in experimental animals There is inadequate evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of occupational exposure as a firefighter, since no data were available to the Working Group. 6.3 Overall evaluation Occupational exposure as a firefighter is possibly carcinogenic to humans
21 21 Peace Officers There are scant epidemiological data on peace officers and cancer because the exposures on the job are similar to everyday environmental exposures off the job. Commonly cited exposure scenarios: fueling a vehicle (potential benzene and fuel vapor exposure) working in older buildings (potential exposure to low level airborne asbestos) handling contraband using a radar device attending firing range cleaning weapons working in traffic (vehicle exhaust exposure) attending fire scenes peripherally (products of combustion)
22 22 What to look for in medical reports The physician should be trained, credentialed and experienced in evaluating cancer cases and familiar with the cancer presumption issues The medical report should be a medical report, not a legal opinion We are all exposed to asbestos, vehicular exhaust, polyaromatic compounds, etc. in the environment, food, air and via personal habits Firefighter exposures are usually reasonably inferred assuming the person has been involved in active fire suppression history of SCBA use, attendance at typical range of fires, etc. should be documented.
23 23 What to look for in medical reports The association between the specific job / exposure circumstances and the specific cancer should be clearly discussed and supported by citations from the medical literature There is a wealth of firefighter morbidity and mortality data that should be appropriately cited and analyzed in total. The medical report should provide a scientific analysis of the case, to which the trier of fact applies the relevant presumption issues and determines if the report is enough to rebut the presumption or not
24 24 The medical report should cover: A detailed exposure history appropriate to the occupation for firefighters this means a discussion of their work actually fighting fires, SCBA use etc. general medical, social and family histories smoking and alcohol use history (both are carcinogens) past occupational history and hobby history a review of the epidemiological literature with respect to the specific cancer a review of the occupational epidemiological literature specific to firefighters and the specific cancer, with statistical significance of the cited studies addressed a summary science-based analysis of whether the exposure history in the individual was of the intensity, duration and specificity to logically be considered a causal factor in their cancer, with reasonable medical probability

Duke point guard Kyrie Irving said Thursday that he will play limited minutes in the Blue Devils' second-round NCAA tournament game against Hampton on Friday.
"I definitely feel like I'm ready to go. A big step for me and my family. One of the biggest decisions of my life, to go out there and be integrated with the guys for the first time in practice and now its going to turn into a game."
Irving said his injured toe is back to "around 95%" and that the "other five will come when I actually play out there."
The freshman has been out of action since Dec. 4 when he injured his toe in a game against Butler.
"I can basically do everything I did before I got hurt, so I'm feeling really good," Irving said.
When asked how many minutes he would play, Irving said "I'm not sure. It all depends on what coach wants."
Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said he doesn't know exactly just how much Irving will be used.
"I don't have a set number of minutes," Krzyzewski said. "We want to play the way we've been playing and integrate him into what we're doing."
When Irving was injured, Krzyzewski said the most important thing they would consider before bringing his point guard back was his health and his future. And the time out was tough on Irving.
"It was really hard, definitely an enduring process, a learning experience ... Now I'm glad to be back out there on the court," he said.
He admitted that he isn't in the best shape after sitting out for so long, but that getting into a game and working his way back will help as the tournament progresses -- assuming Duke continues to advance.
"I can honestly say my conditioning isnt where it should be because of the long time I havent been playing basketball," Irving said. "But that will come hopefully as we progress in this tournament. I think that will come."

The Greater German Reich was establish in 1933 as a single-party fascist republic. Between 1933 and 1939, Germany worked to secretly build up its army, planning an invasion of France. It consolidated into totalitarian dictatorship quickly after its formation, and worked to eliminate any anti-Nazi organizations in the country. Hitler, Führer (president) of Germany from 1934 to his death in 1967, is in present day idolized by the German people for leading them through WW2 and establishing them as the most powerful country in the world. Hitler used the SS to eliminate any political rivals before WW2 to secure his position.
WW2 is typically seen as the shining point of the power of Germany. in 1939, Hitler, against the will of his advisors, launched a massive assault against France, with over a hundred divisions participating. French troops valiantly fought, but German panzers used a new tactic, Blitzkrieg, to smash French lines. Hitler, during this time, issued many acts and laws concerning army expansion, army eligibility, and the consequences of keeping Jews safe in German houses. France fell in about three years, with resistance from Spain and Portugal along with France and Germany. German military organization, with armoured units being put together and concentrated in one area along with the advantages of mobilized infantry, German troops could outmaneuver and break holes in the Allied line while filling up gaps swiftly in their own. Germany occupying northern France, and setting up Vichy France. Hitler, again against the will of his advisors, Invaded Great Britain in Operation Sea Lion. Eventually, Britain fell too, and the remaining allies in North America surrendered.
After WW2
Germany harshly treated the Allies after their loss in WW2, demanding that northern France and southern Great Britain be annexed into the Greater German Reich. Hitler then announced a week of celebration, stating "This is the greatest day the Reich has ever seen". In 1967, Hitler died from a heart attack, and the German Government declared a national day of mourning for their fallen hero. Adolf Hitler's son Alois Hitler (named after Adolf's father) became the next Führer, promising to be a competent leader that would lead the German people. In 1976, citizens in France and Great Britain rose up against their German conquerors, taking up arms and causing mass confusion in German held territories. Germany fought back by assassinating all the leaders of the rebellion through the complex German spy network. In 1982, New York acquired nuclear missiles, causing the New York Missile Crisis. Only careful negotiation and some underhand threats by the German government stopped New York from launching the missiles. During recent years, Germany has been increasingly involved in peacekeeping operations in northern North America, Great Britain and France. Germany has greatly ignored the constant wars between the Russian Republic and the USSR.
The German economy is mostly comprised of services, taking up 70% of the total GDP. The Greater German Reich is absent of any substantial amounts of raw materials, instead being a manufacturing giant. Their main exports are cars, chemicals and machinery. Germany is a great business center, with many overseas nations having headquarters in Germany. German has become the language the world uses for business and the Reichsmark has become the business currency of the world.
The Greater German Reich is a single party fascist state run by a Führer. The German government is seen by many to be disorganized and uncoordinated, with many government officials trying to gain favor with the Führer. Officials will propose a new law, usually from something the Führer said, and send it to the Führer to either accept or decline. State and local governments have almost no power, instead being run by the leaders of the Nazi Party, the only legal party in Germany. Many people around the world are surprised that the German government has held up, but it has not only done that, but also prospered. Germany uses the SS, a service of elite "policemen" and assassins, to put down anyone who opposes their will, causing almost all the people in Germany to agree to the Führer's every word.
The Greater German Reich has the largest military in the world. The German army is also one of the most advanced militaries in the world, with all of the latest technologies researched by the many German facilities being commonplace in the military. Germany operates a large fleet of over 150 U-boats, used mainly for peacekeeping operations. The German Luftwaffe includes thousands of planes and is the second largest in the world, after the giant Japanese air force. German planes include the latest Ju-137s, Messerschmit 134G's, and "Striker" heavy bombers. The German army goes through massive amounts of training, wheedling out the soldiers that will not fight well in a war or will not perform up to expectations. Law requires every German citizen, except for disabled, blind, deaf, etc. to serve at least three years, although that number can change in the event of a war.
International Relations
Germany is the most powerful nation in the world, and uses that power to greatly influence other nations around it. It is one of the upper council members of the Allianz der Nationen (Alliance of Nations). It is involved in Global peacekeeping operations, currently protecting Ottoman and German interests in the Middle East and stopping wars in many North American nations. Many countries follow what the German Führer says and then copies it in their own country to make it seem like they will do exactly what Germany does. Germany is very intolerant of any other systems of government, putting down all within its reach as much as possible. The Führer is a figurehead to the German people and the world as a whole, as Germany taught that he "saved the world through his just and good actions". The SS operate minorly in countries bordering Germany, so anyone refusing that statement is quickly sent to prison.

With the New Year come new beginnings. We all want to improve on ourselves. Most of us want to get healthy, fit, organized or even save more money. When I was approached by Gorton's to promote a Realistic Resolution focused on fitness and eating healthy, I knew I could not pass it up. I received the Gorton's Realistic Resolution kit to review in exchange for my honest opinion.

The fight of the big three is set to get hotter. While Siri, Cortana and Google Now have been slugging it out from within the safe confines of their operating systems, word is out the Cortana will soon give Google Now a run for its money in the latter's own backyard.
You heard right. The Cortana app for Android devices is going through an overhaul which should be completed soon. Once it is ready, you will be able to make her replace Google Now as your personal assistant.
However, unlike in Windows phones, just saying 'Hey Cortana' won't wake her up and you will have to long press the home button in your Android phone to get her working. This is owed to hardware incompatibility rather than any shortcomings in the software that runs Cortana.
Since the new feature is currently in beta stage, you can still try it out now on the Windows website after filling in a short survey.
Earlier in May, Microsoft announced for the first time that Cortana will make her first leap beyond the struggling Windows platform and enter Android phones. Her foray in iOS devices will, however, have to wait until the end of the year.
While Cortana will not be able to access third party apps in Android phones, she may still be a very handy assistant with functions ranging from flight tracking, monitoring traffic and calculating the time required to travel between destinations as well as giving daily reminders.

Annotated Story Edit
Somewhere in Toshi Ranbo, Month of the Rooster 1169, Matsu Takeko is travelling through the streets attempting to ignore her surroundings. Even after the Battle of Toshi Ranbo the Imperial City is bustling, but she must perform the duty given to her. Takeko contemplates the presence of the other clans. The majority are Crane and Lion, with a fair number of Crab, Dragon and Scorpion. She does not like the amountMantis. Most notably is the presence of Phoenix all over the place. Guarding roads and checkpoints, watching over the city. Takeko thinks that for a clan of peace the Shiba family at least know the way of war.
Elsewhere in the city, Mantis Clan Champion Yoritomo Naizen is meeting with Yoritomo Yashinko. Naizen thinks Yashinko did well in court today, but Yashinko thinks Akodo Setai completely outflanked her. Yashinko did not expect the Lion to put forward Toturi Shigekawa as a candidate for the throne, let alone be the first to put forward any candidate. Naizen points out the Unicorn have already nominated their canditate, and Yashinko concedes the point. Naizen thinks Shigekawa is a brilliant choice having been a vassal of two Emperors, a commander of an Imperial Legion, a reputation for unimpeachable integrity. A former Lion with the Toturi name is a perfectly "neutral" candidate for the Lion. Yashinko says they must counter the Lion but Naizen thinks it will be difficult. Amethyst Champion Yoritomo Yoyonagi is the highest ranking Mantis with an Imperial position, but lacks Shigekawa's shining reputation. Yashinko thinks Yoyonagi does not need an equal reputation, but also that Naizen himself has an equally strong claim. Naizen does not understand, and Yashinko replies that Naizen has the favor of the Dragon of Thunder and points to the Helm of Thunder. The Phoenix would have to acknowledge the support of a Dragon, and that would lend weight to his nomination. Naizen contemplates the notion for a moment, but finally tells Yashinko to go ahead with the nomination.
Elsewhere in the city, three Lion samurai are making their way to the estate of Akodo Setai. When they have reached Setai's estate and shown into his study, Ikoma Akiyama announces his annoyance with Yoritomo Yashinko. Akodo Setai suggests Yashinko is afforded some leniency because of her position under the Amethyst Champion as he studies a map of the city. Akodo Seiichi asks why his legion is being kept in the city, as it would be better put to use against the Unicorn. Setai asks if Seiichi understood what Elemental Master Isawa Ochiai spoke of today. Seiichi notices that Ochiai did not dispute Shigekawa's qualifications, and Setai suggests that means the Lion can focus on the city now that others are focused on Shigekawa. The guard at the door announces that a messenger is here. Matsu Takeko enters and offers the scroll she is carrying. Setai reads the scroll and tells her to return the next day to recieve the reply. Takeko leaves and Akiyama asks how the Lion can look after the city with the Phoenix and the Dragon of Fire present. Setai does not wish the Phoenix to leave, but the Mantis must go. Setai is not concerned about the Dragon either. He passes the message to Seiichi, revealing that more Phoenix troops are being moved to the capital. Setai thinks the Elemental Masters have no intention on calling upon the Dragon of Fire, maybe only as a last resort. Akiyama agrees with that assessment. Setai does not wish to interfere with the Phoenix, and may perhaps help them by removing another clan from the city. Setai asks Seiichi if he still thinks the legion is not needed here, but Seiichi now agrees that they can be used here.
Meanwhile, at the Liquid Pearl sake house, the proprietor is content. The Liquid Pearl has the finest sake in the capital, and an excellent storyteller has made the house a popular place for the Lion in the city. The proprietor is not happy to have too many Lion here, but with no Mantis present and only have a dozen Lion today he is not worried. At one of the tables Akodo Natsu is complaining to Akodo Katsumoto that shugenja should not run things. Katsumoto counters that the Kitsu family are surely not included in that statement. Natsu agrees, but feels the Phoenix do not have the same quidance as the Kitsu and had they listened to the Lion the Mantis would be expelled as the traitors they are. Katsumoto concedes the point, and places a couple of coins on the table to pay for the drinks. The two move to leave but find the entrance blocked by a few Mantis who are trying to enter. Natsu tells them to move aside for a samurai, but the Mantis politely introduces himself as Tsuruchi Amaya and suggests the Lion will offend his ancestors by not letting him through. Natsu suggests theat the Wasp have no ancestors worth offending, and the two face off against eachother. Both draw their swords.
Elsewhere, Matsu Takeko is finishing her fourth yakitori skewer. She is pleased that a man of Akodo Setai's status told her she had done well, and tomorrow she would get to meet him again. She is about to order another skewer but a disturbance catches her attention. A fight has broken out between a handful of Akodo and a larger number Mantis. Takeko fights the urge to join the Akodo, who are holding their own, and runs to report the incident to Setai. Takeko falls, and turns to see a Mantis archer and another with a kama asking her why she is running away. Takeko notices a pain in her side but ignores it and charges the archer, killing him before he can drop his bow and draw another weapon. She moves her attention to the other Mantis, ignoring the man's feints and taking his head off. Takeko again feels the pain in her side and looks down to see an arrow sticking out of her ribs. Takeko snaps the arrow, steels herself against the pain and begins running to Setai's estate.
Back with the Mantis, Yashinko charges into her lords study and reports to Naizen that the Lion are attacking Tsuruchi Amaya and his men. Naizen asks her how she knows, and she reveals it can be seen from the balcony. Naizen grabs his weapons and tells her to think of a justification for the fight, in case it was started by the Mantis. Naizen begins running down the hall and calls for his personal guard.
At Setai's residence, Akiyama announces that Setai must hear the news. Setai notices the faint smell of blood as he hurries to find a young bloodstained Matsu woman. Takeko reports the Mantis are attacking the Lion near the Liquid Pearl east of the Small Shrine to Bishamon near the Mantis Embassy. Seiichi has already begun gathering his men. Setai compliments the Matsu on her performance and she thanks him before collapsing. Akiyama notices the arrow lodged in her ribs, and Setai orders a healer and a shugenja called. Setai then begins focusing on the battle.
Elsewhere, Isawa Ochiai is surprised at the event. She tells her friend not to intervene, and rather let the Shiba handle the matter.
Back in the streets, Shiba Miiko takes a moment to wonder where her kabuto has gone. She calls for Shiba Sotatsu to report this area is secured. Miiko looks around at the bodies, and wonders who would start a fight in a city with an entrenched garrison backed by the Isawa Masters and the Dragon of Fire? Both the Lion and Mantis should have known better, but Miiko is woken from her musings as Sotatsu reports the district has been sealed off and reinforcements are on their way. Miiko waits calmly for the additional forces to arrive, and when they do she informs them that they will only kill those who resist the efforts to end the fighting. She adds that anyone who does not stop immediately is resisting.
Later, at Setai's estate, Takeko is sitting in the garden examining the arrowhead that was taken out of her. She always tried to keep a small token of those she had defeated, but had forgotten to do so from the kama wielding man. The arrowhead would have to do for both. A sound from nearby announces the arrival of Setai, and she begins to struggle to get to her feet. Setai tells her to remain sitting, and she tells him she does not understand what is happening. Setai explains that the Phoenix have banished both the Lion and the Mantis from the city. Takeko is angry and bursts out that the Phoenix cannot do this. Setai suggests the Phoenix think the city is best protected with the Lion outside the wall. The Crab did not wish to be involved, the Dragon and Scorpion sided with the Phoenix and the Crane could not stand against three clans in the matter. Takeko is still not happy, but Setai points out that at least the Mantis have been removed from the city also. The Lion will have to wait for the moment when they can return once more.
