CORAL SPRINGS, FL - Loyola junior T.J. Shuart fired a two-day total score of three-under, 139 en route to recording the first individual win of his collegiate career and leading the Greyhounds to an astounding 35-stroke victory at their spring season-opening Fort Lauderdale Classic, which was held at the par-71 Grande Oaks Golf Club in Coral Springs, FL on Thursday and Friday.
Heading in to the final round with a comfortable team lead and a tie for the individual lead at even-par with teammate Will Shriver, Shuart, a consistent top-five tounament finisher for the Greyhounds over the past few years, scorched the Grand Oaks layout with a three-under, 68 to finally capture that elusive first collegiate win.
"It was a tremendous team effort both days," said Loyola Head Coach Tom Beidleman. "I'm very happy for T.J. that he got his first college victory. He's played a lot of great golf for many years so to finally see him get this first one, it's not only very rewarding for him, but for all of us."
Shriver finished the tournament at even-par (71-71=142), 2003 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) individual champ Jeff O'Brien notched a two-over performance (72-74=144), Tommy Villani shot 78-77 for a 155 and Scott Zielinski went 73-85 for a 158 as Loyola won its second consecutive team title, going back to the Temple-John McDonald Invitational, which was the Greyhounds' final fall event.
Loyola's Final Round score of 290 gave them a two-day total of 577, which put the Greyhounds ahead of Nova Southeastern (612), MAAC-rival Siena (615), Villanova (618), Gonzaga (622), and Loyola-Illinois (656).
"Winning back-to-back events is a great spring-board for us as we head into a very difficult spring season," said Beidleman.
Along with the two consecutive team wins, Loyola has recorded two second-place finishes and one third-place finish in just seven tournaments this year. Shuart's individual win is the third individual victory for a Greyhound this year as Shriver recorded wins in the fall at the season-opening Colgate Invitational and the John MacDonald Invitational.
The Greyhounds return to action Monday, March 22 for the first round of the two-day William and Mary Invitational at Kingsmill Country Club in Williamsburg, VA.

|Reviews for Geronimo
| Guest chapter 1 . 10/18/2013
I cried. I really really cried when you wrote.
| Insanityisgood25 chapter 2 . 8/4/2013
That's sweet, but not how I expected the regeneration to go.
Don't cry (you're allowed to on Christmas and then we must move on and embrace (and then come crawling back to fanfiction where we can read eleven fics)).
I've watched Doctor Who since the reboot and watched the re runs of Tom bakers doctor (4th) so I know how hard it is to see your doctor go. I cried fiercely when Chris went and even more so when Davis went. I hated Matt at first, but now he's become my favourite Doctor.
So we shall stick together and get through it. We'll hate the new doctor at first and then grow to love them like we usually do.
But a brilliant story, but I thought that it was a little OOC. Have you watched other regenerations? From the new series' not the classic who (as it looks completely different) to see what happens. Just a thought (I don't know if you've even looked briefly at that since you said Matt's your first doctor)
Anyway, must dash!

Omg ear boy
Ear boy
I like the sound of that
I feel your pain mate
| DrakesGirl5 chapter 2 . 7/25/2013
Haha... Oh who am I kidding, I'm crying from this alone. I will loose it when he regenerates into his twelfth incarnation. I really hope that he doesn't get rid of the bowtie or I will not be able to handle it... I miss my awkward giraffe doctor already!
| LeilaTheGalaxyDefender chapter 2 . 7/25/2013
This is great! I loved your version of Twelve! I love his catchphrase!
| Arcadia 'Ace' G chapter 2 . 7/8/2013
I think I was going to cry after the first chapter. The second stopped that. It was so diverse compared to the first one, but I think everyone would appreciate it if you maybe said who he looks like down at the bottom. When i think ginger, Rupert Grint appears in my head. Ears makes me think of Christopher Eccleston and the guy who plays Merlin and the kid from the episode, 'Midnight'. Good two-shot though, I loved it.
| steffon22 chapter 2 . 6/3/2013
My emotions.
| ChelGallifreyHookCas221B613 chapter 2 . 6/3/2013
If I'm crying this hard just from your story, I don't even want to think about how hard I'm going to cry when he actually regenerates. I may have to record it and watch it later when I'm alone, because there will be tears!
| Guest chapter 1 . 6/3/2013
Yeah I'm sad too. I will miss Matt as 11th. Not so sure I can see Clara with any other Doctor other than 11th. I hope Geronimo will be the last thing he says and oh a kiss for Clara. Thanks for writing this
| Timelord Kirra chapter 2 . 6/3/2013
That made me cry, I swear I have never cried in a fanfic before!
Now that 11 will be gone by the end of the year, it got me wondering. This got to me it was beautifully writing, with paragraphs! The last couple if read didn't have them, what a relieve.
For this I give 10/10 :) grinnies.
| Nikki Pond chapter 2 . 6/3/2013
I never thought of Eureka but I hope he didn't use that word

Omgggggg! *sob sob* this is flawless but eurgggggg why! My Matty :'( wahhhhhhhh you are amazing thank you

When it's time to go remember the best.
| Nikki Pond chapter 1 . 6/2/2013
11th Doctor is the very first Doctor I ever saw and he became my favourite Doctor but also my favourite character and I wish I could stay and watch the 12th doctor but I refuse until I get used to the heart breaking, It really ache and it hurts when I heard of it, I was just happy today and these news made me cry and sad I ask myself Why do you have to leave? but let me just say this Am happy to watch Matt smith as the Doctor and it's truly an honour, now what I have to worry now is please not be a heartbreaking goodbye.

OFFICIAL: Africa Cup of Nations to be played between June-July
The African Cup of Nations is set to be moved to the...
Egypt international Omar Gaber made his fourth friendly appearance for FC Basel, as the Swiss side were downed 4-1 by Russian outfit FC Zenit Saint Petersburg.
After making his early summer transfer to Swiss champions FC Basel, the 24-year-old right-back looked to use these pre-season friendlies as an opportunity to stand out in the team's starting XI.
Facing five-time Russian Premier League champions FC Zenit Saint Petersburg at the Stade Saint-Germain, Basel looked to improve their pre-season form with a win against Mircea Lucescu's side.
The first 15 minutes of the match were highly pressured from both sides, but with Zenit showing more promise. On the 15th minute, Basel gave away a penalty which was scored by Russian international Artem Dzyuba, making it 1-0 for Zenit.
Basel attempted to tighten their defense but it wasn't enough as in the 35th minute Zenit doubled the score through Spanish midfielder Javi Garcia, making it 2-0.
The first half ended 2-0 and would go on until the 71st minute until Basel were seemingly able to turn things around, temporarily, with David Calla pulling one back for the Swiss champions.
However, just five minutes later Aleksandr Ryazantsev made it 3-1, and the match seemed to be out of reach for Basel.
Zenit were able to find the back of the net one last time as Mikhail Kerzhakov scored from the spot, making it 4-1.
Basel next face AS Monaco on Saturday, before concluding their pre-season with a friendly against Wolfsburg on July 24.

The launch of the free-trade zone in Shanghai last month will not only give a boost to property prices, but also create much-needed custom for business hotels at a time when the city is suffering from a decline in tourist arrivals.
The city's inbound tourists last year dropped 2.1 per cent year on year to 8 million, of whom foreign visitors decreased 2.4 per cent to 6.3 million.
Currently, high-end hotels with international operators are limited in the free-trade zone. They include the Sheraton and Crowne Plaza in Waigaoqiao, Crowne Plaza in Lingang and Ramada at Pudong Airport.
Sam Xie, research director at CBRE Shanghai, said the Sheraton Waigaoqiao's occupancy rate jumped to more than 80 per cent last month, following the formal inauguration of the free-trade zone, from 20 to 30 per cent three months ago.
"The demand came from both guests attending the ceremony and business owners registering companies in the free-trade zone in Waigaoqiao," he said. "There are definitely opportunities for international hoteliers, given the current limited supply and the increasing number of financial and service companies entering the zone."
Xie said he believed the establishment of the free-trade zone would be positive for the luxury hotel sector as the pilot scheme would attract more foreign and domestic investment into Shanghai and accelerate the city's development towards an international gateway city and financial centre.
Since the proposal to create a free-trade zone was announced in July, property prices in the surrounding area had risen 15 to 20 per cent, compared with a 10 per cent gain in the overall Shanghai market, said agents.
The 28-square-kilometre free-trade zone includes Yangshan Bonded Port Area, Wai Gao Qiao Bonded Area (containing Wai Gao Qiao Bonded Logistical Park Area) and Pudong Airport Comprehensive Bonded Area.
Rosewood Hotel Group believes mid-tier hotels will benefit the most from the free-trade zone.
"Our Pentahotels brand is a good fit as it suits the typical business person going to the free-trade zone. They are looking for a hotel that is affordable, well set up for the basics like Wi-fi, offers a great room and which has public space suitable both for business and relaxing," said Symon Bridle, chief operating officer at Rosewood Hotel, the hotel management arm of New World Development.
Rosewood Hotel, formerly known as New World Hospitality, owns 40 hotels under three brands in 15 countries. Its Pentahotels brand - offering affordable accommodation to leisure and business travellers - operates 16 hotels in Europe and Asia, with a target to expand to 80 globally by 2020.
"This is more of a mid-tier market, and demand for higher-end or luxury hotels will not be so prevalent," said Bridle.
The group operates a Pentahotels in Shanghai and Beijing.
Thomas Lam Ho-man, a director at Knight Frank in China, said the free-trade zone was dominated by domestic-brand budget hotels.
In addition to Shanghai Disneyland, which is slated to open at the end of 2015, the zone could potentially attract new hotel establishments involving international brands.
"The development of three- and four-star hotels will also be robust and cater for increasing demand from business travellers," said Lam.
By 2015, the number of tourist arrivals in Pudong could reach 45.2 million and the total tourism revenue would amount to 52.3 billion yuan (HK$66.12 billion), a Knight Frank report said.
Tourists would continue to grow to 103.8 million in 2020 and contribute 105.2 billion yuan, heralding a golden decade of tourism for Shanghai, the report said.

The internet is becoming less and less civil. Not just between moms, but for everyone. This article shares some interesting statistics that don't surprise me. Do they surprise you?
Joseph Grenny, co-author of Crucial Conversations, also offers some great tips for how to communicate effectively via social media:
- Check your motives. Social media hasn't only changed the way we communicate, it has modified our motives. Ask yourself, "Is my goal to get lots of 'likes' (or even provoke controversy)?" or "Do I want healthy dialogue?"
- Replace hot words. If your goal is to make a point rather than score a point, replace "hot" words that provoke offense with words that help others understand your position. For example, replace "that is idiotic" with "I disagree for the following reasons…"
- Pause to put emotions in check. Never post a comment when you're feeling emotionally triggered. Never! If you wait four hours you're likely to respond differently.
- Agree before you disagree. It's fine to disagree, but don't point out your disagreement until you acknowledge areas where you agree. Often, arguers agree on 80 percent of the topic but create a false sense of conflict when they spend all their time arguing over the other 20 percent.
- Trust your gut. When reading a response to your post and you feel the conversation is getting too emotional for an online exchange—you're right! Stop. Take it offline. Or better yet, face-to-face.

Advocates and Civil Rights Leaders Convene at HRC Rally to Demand Repeal of Anti-LGBT HB 1523
Hundreds of state civil rights advocates will join HRC President Chad Griffin, former NAACP President Ben Jealous and other equality partners at HRC's Rally to Repeal H.B. 1523, today at 3:30 p.m. CT, rain or shine, on the south side of the Mississippi State Capitol.
Advocates will march from the Capitol to the Governor's Mansion for the rally, where they will call on Governor Phil Bryant, Lt. Governor Tate Reeves and House Speaker Philip Gunn to listen to the broad chorus of fair-minded voters, national and local businesses, entertainers and sports figures, calling for the repeal of this discriminatory measure before it goes into effect on July 1.
H.B. 1523 has opened a massive loophole allowing almost any individual or organization to use broad justifications to discriminate against LGBTQ Mississippians at work, at school and in their communities. Under this new law, almost any individual or organization could justify discrimination against LGBTQ people, single mothers, unwed couples, and others. Tax-payer funded faith-based organizations could: refuse to recognize the marriages of same-sex couples for provision of critical services including emergency shelter; deny children in need of loving homes placement with LGBTQ families including the child's own family member; and refuse to sell or rent a for-profit home to an LGBTQ person -- even if the organization receives government funding. HB 1523 even legalizes Kim Davis-style discrimination by allowing government employees to abdicate their duties and refuse to license or solemnize marriages for LGBTQ people.

''The news on Michael is very disappointing but at the end of the day we can't do that much about it,'' Glamorgan chief executive Mike Fatkin told the Welsh county's official website today.
The 34-year-old Kasprowicz was recalled for Australia's tour to South Africa after being dropped during the Ashes defeat by England last year.
''I've spent my whole career being just in or just out of the Australian side,'' he told reporters in Durban, venue for the second Test against South Africa which starts on Friday.
''I felt my circumstances changed by getting selected on this tour. Having the (Australian) winter at home and training hard, I think that will give me my best opportunity to be at my best for the start of next season.
''Whether that's playing for Australia or playing for Queensland, I can't see into the future. It was something I stewed over a lot.'' Australia won the first Test in Cape Town by seven wickets and Kasprowicz said the controversial pitch used at Newlands was refreshing because it brought the bowlers into the game more.
''It offered a bit of seam and spin, it was something you don't see every day,'' he said.
''I think it's good to see batsmen getting challenged now and again, they can't have it all their own way.'' Kasprowicz opened the bowling in Cape Town, returning match figures of three for 83.
''It's always good taking the new ball, in 17 seasons of first-class cricket I've taken a lot of new balls, so it's nothing new,'' he said.
''But it's great to be doing it for Australia.''

Dr Bawumia said "Graduate unemployment has reached crisis proportions with a reported 60% of graduates unable to find a job."
Bawumia is calling on government to see this as a national security issue and find lasting solutions to them.
He said the unemployment challenge would worsen next year, when government begins the rationalisation of workers in the civil service as agreed under the International Monetary Fund (IMF) programme.

If I ever get my act together, I will blog about my experience at the RT Booklovers Convention I went to last weekend. But for now, you get a book review!
This book had been on my TBR list since sometime last year, after the Warden had recommended it on her FB page. I liked the author, Darynda Jones, so I was keeping up with her posts as well, but never had time to read the book. At the convention, I saw Darynda Jones was signing, so I stood in line and bought her book, complete with signature and bookmark!
Now honestly I prefer vamps over all other PR books. But this book, about a grim reaper/PI was awesome! The main character, Charley Davidson, was born a grim reaper. She assists her cop uncle with cases, so to keep questions to a minimum, she became a PI who consults for the police department. With her ability to see dead people (those who haven't crossed over for some reason), she is able to solve murders quickly. Not without about 5+ hits on her life during the first book alone, but she makes it through.
While working on her current case, she is also trying to deal with her dream lover - a man who has been haunting her dreams and begins to appear to her in real life as well. Turns out, he is Reyes Alexander Farrow. Reyes's story is complicated and well, I won't ruin the surprise of telling you who he really is.
What I loved most about this book (well besides the scenes with Reyes) was the humor. Charley is more sarcastic than I am, and I loved her comments, thoughts, and even the little blurbs at the start of each chapter (mostly taken from bumper stickers and t-shirts).
There are two other books out in the series, along with a fourth on the way. I highly recommend this book. :)

Reflections (and my 400th post)
In 2001, I was working three jobs and going to graduate school. I had been single for about a year, and if I wasn't working, I was hanging out with my sister and a couple of friends. We did lots of fun yet meaningless stuff: concerts, Denny's, laughing at ourselves, and tattoos. I could lay in bed and devour Anne Rice's The Witching Hour with no other responsibilities calling to me.
That girl is gone.
In 2002, my boyfriend (now husband), Keith, knew I was looking for a new job. He found an ad for the college where I currently work. I applied for two positions, was offered both, chose one. It was part-time, but allowed me to focus on my graduate studies and still have a life outside of work/school. I wore funky jewelry, had red hair with black "highlights", smoked on my way to work, and did other meaningless (but fun) things.
That girl is gone.
Yesterday I received an email from work. This month, I will be honored for 10 years of service with a dinner and a gift.
That makes me feel old.
Somehow, along the way, a part-time job turned into a full-time career. Now there is a husband, three children, and a mortgage. Car payments, school tuition, and daycare bills. A cup of coffee on the drive into work. I still wear cords and funky jewelry, but there are no more tattoos, no more fun hair - because there is no money for frivolous things. I read books on parenting and sensory processing disorder (with the occasional vamp thrown in).
If I could talk to that girl I used to be, what would I tell her? Have more fun? Date more guys?
Savor every moment.
And if that girl could talk to the woman I've become, she'd tell her - Just wait. You'll be busier, but life will be so much sweeter. You will miss the meaningless, frivolous things, but you will gain so much more.
Just don't forget me.

Happiness - Week 4
Some people do not understand how a book can make me happy.
(Namely, my husband. Although for the record,
I did ignore him on my first morning home
so that I could finish the book. But still...)
Anyway, I waited
patiently for book 10 of the Black Dagger Brotherhood series to be released. It just so happened that it was set to be delivered to my kindle while I was in Vegas for a conference. The magic of my iPhone continues to surprise me (mainly because I never bothered reading the manual that came with it). I had started reading the book on my kindle, yet later that day had some time in between sessions. I checked the kindle app on my phone, and it automatically synced to my last location read on my kindle.
It's magic, I tell you.
It's magic, I tell you.
The next day, I had time before my flight left:
I read on the flight.
And the next morning after the kids went to school
(much to the chagrin of my husband).
The book was all I could hope for and more. There is something about the Warden's writing that keeps me glued to the page no matter what is going on around me. Plus, not only did Tohr's heart heal, we saw a lot of John Matthew and Xhex. The Band of Bastards played a role too - and now I wonder, who will Layla's HEA be? Throe or Xcor? Before she announced it on FB, I knew the next book would be Blay and Qhuinn's. Thank goodness! It's about time they were able to find true happiness. And I got my Wrath fix as well, although I was quite nervous during the van ride back to the mansion.
So to recap - things that make me happy - books, the brothers, and alone time that allowed me to read a 671 page book in two and a half days. Because seriously, that hasn't happened since Connor was born.

The legendary Satchel Paige, victim of the "color barrier", couldn't pitch in the Major Leagues until he was 42...
On his 42nd birthday, with the "color barrier" broken, Satch became a Major League rookie.
60 years later, another "old" phenom is making his rookie debut, this one at 45...in a World Series.
He's no Satchel Paige.
But, he's quite a man...and a damn good pitcher.
This World Series rookie is Jamie Moyer. Although he has pitched in the big leagues very well for over 20 years, Moyer has never pitched in a World Series game..until tonight.
Soon to be 46, Moyer is the starting Phillies pitcher tongiht when the Rays go up against the Phils in Game 3. The Rays will start Matt Garza who pitched the Rays into the World Series by beating the Red Sox in Game 7 of the playoffs.
Two good articles on Jamie Moyer, the baseball pitcher, are here:
Those sum it up. Moyer could get rocked tonight like he did against the Dodgers recently in the playoffs, but he could also hurl a gem in his rookie game in the World Series!
Either way, I'm happy for the guy. He's a remarkable man and it's flat remarkable that he went 16-7 for the Phils this year with a decent ERA at his age.
I got to remembering that Jamie married the daughter of Digger Phelps, the famous Notre Dame basketball coach and sports commentator and so I went digging into his published personal life and found that the grand old man of baseball players today is also a part of a beautiful family of benefactors to children.
Moyer married Karen and together they founded the Moyer Foundation in Seattle.
This article defines, for me, the quality of this man and his family:
It contains a letter Jamie wrote to his Seattle fans upon leaving Seattle for the Phillies:
I'm a Rays' fan, Jamie Moyer....so I can't wish that you win tonight's game.
In fact, I hope the young Rays feast on your 45-year-old stuff and win going away.
But, there's no loser in tonight's game....when it comes to you, Jamie Moyer.
Just the fact that you are there and love the game and are the man that you are is a WIN in my book.
Just like when ol' Satch finally made it to the major leagues...

Letting Go: Eclipse Glade after her games.
Chapter 1:
I stare out at the hills of District 0. This is my last chance to see my homeland before my vicory tour. My friends have left me alone here. I wrap the coat around myself and pick up a stick, drawing some letters in the snow... an E, an X. It reminds me of how life used to be, before I ever had to endure the Games. I straighten, tossing the stick away and run down the hill. I am still 12. Still younger than they want me to be, but I am a victor. The first District 0 has had in a while. Yes, oof course the odds were against me the whole time. Then I realize what time it is. It's almost 9:00 p.m. I need to get back home so I'm ready for my victory tour tomorrow. Seems like some sort of big thing, right? It's really not all that great. You just look at the families of the tributes you've killed, and give a little speech and move on. "At least I won't be alone," I think as I strip off my coat in front of the fire. I go to sleep thinking about everyone I've lost. Pearson, and Cotto, especially Cotto. What a waste. Silent tears come down on my cheeks. I lay awake for a long time, humming "When you're gone". I'm so sad, it feels like my heart is breaking. i haven't felt the full impact of loss until now.
Chapter 2:"Eclipse! Come on or you'll be late!" I roll over and stare at the glow in the dark clock. 6:00. I sit bolt upright, hastily shoving on a loose, sleeveless purple dress that comes to my knees. "Coming!" I yell, grabbing a brush and swiping my hair with it. I come down, seeing the orance slices on a plate on the table. "I'll be eating in the capitol you know," I tell Briar, my older sister. "I know," she says, flipping her blonde hair. Briar was lucky enough to get my mother's blonde hair that floats around her in corkscrew curls. I don't know where I got my hair from. "I just want to give you some energy." She turns and sashays off. I guess she has to look, um, "hot" too, because she's my sister. I grab an orange and suck out the juices. "Eclipse, really. That's not what a REAL victor would do," Briar scoffs. "I guess I'm not a real victor then," i say, starting on the next. A half hour later, my stylists come to my door. "Come in," my mother chirps. "She's in the living room." i sit in front of the fireplace, wearing only a camosole and underwear. I insisted on this, because I don't want to appear butt nakid in front of my prep team. Nobody else, either. They do my hair, sliding it into a ponytail the color of my dress. They draw out my lips and eyes in dazzling colors, while dusting my face with silver powder that gets in my eyes and makes them water. "Done yet?" I murmur quietly, so only I can hear myself. "Yes, you're ready." They force me into the bathroom and I take off the camisole and slide on my dress. I look unrecognizable to myself. My prep team have done a good job. I give them my thanks and we walk out of the house together. I see my escort and mentor waiting for us. They congratulate me. Then I am on a train. I am headed to the Capitol.
Chapter 3:
The Capitol streets are wet. That is the first thing I take in about my new surroundings. The air is warm and moist. I get off the the train, stepping into a building to meet the others and exchange quick words before I am on my tour. The room smells like a fire. It's painted a light peach. I reach up ant touch my hair quickly before turning my attention back to the others. I approach th girl from 5. "Hey," I say. "Twinkle, right?" She nods. Her hair is just like Briar's but more toned. "So, what's your talent?" she asks. Oh. My talent. Right. "Um, I don't know." She grins. "Me either. Come on, let's go over there." Twinkle introduces me to 2 more people the girl from 3 and the boy from 6. I strike up a conversation with them. They talk to me about what's happened in their districts. Nothing big, just events, parties they've gone to, the slow, gradual movement of going back to their daily lives. It's interesting to hear, most of it anyway. I look over, seeing Twinkle has departed. I say my goodbyes to the others. I'm vaguely aware of one girl, that Callie girl, watching me from the corner. But then we are all ushered outside to the streets of the Capitol. On our way to Disrict 12.
Chapter 4:
We are in District 12. I look around warily at the others around me. Only Harpy looks undaunted by the fact that we are in the vicinity of the dead tributs' families. She begins with a slow speech about the games. After a while it starts to grow boring and I bend my knees to keep from fainting. Twinkle dives in with some talk about this and that and the other thing. Finally, it's my turn to go up to the microphone. I do not have a speech prepared. Instead I say the words that first come into my head: "These tributes were honorable, all of District 12 should be proud." I rub my palms on my dress to wipe some of the sweat off. I sigh with releif, and retreat to the back of the chariot. And then District 12 is over. The rest of the Districts are a blur. 11, 10, and 9 go by quickly. Harpy drags out some more speeches at District 4. None of us are very excited when we arrive at one, and I avoid looking at Colbie's family when I give my part of the speech. 7 is the best district we've been to. None of them seem too mad. Just a little depressed. I sigh. Now onto the winners' Districts. I do not make any speeches in 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8. But when 0 rolls around last, I get up. They clap when I stand. They cheer. I like it. "I have won the 113th hunger games," I start. "And I have met some very honorable people on my... my path to... to victory." I squeeze my eyes shut. "Cotto was a good friend to me. He was... so brave. And i could never underestimate the others. They were all - everyone - was amazing. Everyone had a chance." I sit down, relieved to have gotten that over with.
Chapter 5:
I lay down in my bed. I'm in the Capitol again, sleeping for the all-night feast tonight. Once again, my sleep is clogged with nightmares. I twist and turn, the sheets in my bed falling all over. When I wake up, I see my hair all touseled and messy. I hastily comb my fingers through it. I'm not ready to get up, though. Not for real. I stroll down the hall and take the elevator to the downstairs. I'm in the lobby when Twinkle bumps into me. "Hey," I say. "Oh, hey," she answers. "Aren't you supposed to be sleeping?" I shrug. "I couldn't. I was having nightmares." "About the Games?" she asks. "Yea." Twinkle's eyes glaze over for a second. "Me too," she finally admits. I leave her there, wondering what to do next. I sigh and sit down on one of the gold couches. We only have about 4 hours until the feast. I don't even want to go, really... "What now?" I ask myself. I'm bored and I really would like to go back home. After this last feast, I'll be able to leave the Capitol
Chapter 6:
The feast is enjoyable, and very nice. We are in a clear crystal dome-shaped building. There is a dining area and a seating area. I look over at the dining area, where everyone seems to be. I join them. I start talking to Twinkle and my other friends when I see this boy walking along a table. I run up and try to act casual. "Hey," he says. "Oh... hey," I say, trrying to be as cool as I can. I turn back to my friends when he says, "Eclipse Glade, right? I'm Charcol Chrome." "Are you... from the Capitol?" He laughs and ladles some of the green soup near him into the round bowl he's gripping. "From here? No, of course not. I'm from District 0." "Oh, yea. Right," I say. "You'd better be getting on, you have another speech to make." "I hate making speeches," I say. He laughs again. He has a nice laugh, light and happy and carefree. I like it. "Well, I'll see you around," he says. "Bye Charcol," I call, but he has disappeared into the crowd of people. I sigh and turn around. My prep team gathers around me. "Why aren't you eating?" they gasp. "I don't know, I've just been meeting some people. "Try this," says one of the girls and places a loaf of bread into my hand. "Next try this!" shouts another member of the team, and then food is cascading down on me. I decide to go with the loaf that I had first recieved. Its good and soft, with salt and butter. "May I have your attention please," the president announces. "The victors will make their final speeches, and then the feast is dismissed." I'm up first. I get up and walk over, hesitating for a second then gripping the microphone.
"I am honored to be a victor of the 311... no, 113th Hunger Games. I have met many people along the way that I admired and appreciated and I guess the odds were in my favor... in the end... so tonight, I thank everyone here for helping me with my victory and attending this feast for me... but..." Yes, it's a lot to ask for, and I might get shot, injured, or killed for it. But it will be worth it. "I ask you all to raise your... your glasses for the deceased tributes."
Everyone does what I say. I shoot a quick look at the President, but he only smiles and nods.
"All the tributes in these Games deserved respect... not as much respect as the Capitol -" I hope they can't sense I'm lying - "But respect for what they have done... so thank you all, and have a nice night." They break out into a storm of cheers. Surprisingly, no one is looking at me with shock, horror, or anger. I sigh with releif, now at peace with myself.
Chapter 7:
After that, my time in the Capitol has been spent and I get to go home (yay!). We arrive in District 0 first and I get off and wave to my old friends. Then once the train is out of my sight, I start back towards my house. I start to remember District 0 better after a while. The pond frozen over with ice, the trees dripping frost, the snow cloaking the cypress pines in the hills. I remember everything about it and more.
Chapter 8:"Wha...? Why is everyone up?" I ask, rubbing my eyes. "We thought you wouldn't have forgotten," says Briar, holding out a large strawberry cake. "What? Oh yea... my birthday, right?" They crack up. "Been too busy having fun in the Capitol you forget about your own birthday, huh?" I roll my eyes and blush. "Yea, I guess so." I sit down and we have cake for breakfast, like we always do on my birthday. Briar was laughing so hard. I didn't know it was possible for chewed-up bits of cake to shoot out your nose (YUCK!) but apparenty it is. "What day is it?" I ask, full from my 2 pieces. "November the 12th," my mom replies. They start laughing again. "Thanks," I say and pick up my new boots - leather on the outside, furry on the inside. "Hey, where are you going, Old Lady Glade?" Briar calls. "Hey!" I say. "I'm only 13. Not as old as 17, Briar." That shuts her up. Grabbing my new coat, I walk outside. "Hey Leven!" I call to my best friend. "Hey Eclipse," Leven smiles. "Happy birthday!" "Thanks," I say. "Yea. They're calling me 'Old Lady Glade' now." Grinning, I gesture at the house. Leven laughs brightly. "So, I guess the odds WERE in your favor after all!" Leven chirps. "I guess so," I say. Then we just stand there, letting the happiness wash over us. The happiness of being free, no responsibilities. It's like we're 8 again, chasing after all the boys, getting dirty, flicking snow all over each other. But now we just stand there, our hair blowing to one side. Mine brown, hers gold.
Chapter 9:Now I am scared. I fall asleep scared. Now I am safe from the horror of being thrown back into the arena, (Unless this is one of those Wacky Quell Games where they throw the victors all togeher) but my friends aren't. Briar is only 17. She can still go. Leven is 13 like me. She could go. Her twin could go. My other friends could go. But I can't. For some reason it makes me feel so helpless I scream. My family is at my side in an instant, telling me I'll be fine, just relax. "No," I say, throwing back the white fleece covers. "No, it's not fine." And then I throw on my boots and run out of the house. I know, totally dramatic. But it was the only thing I could think to do. No one looks for me. They don't need to worry about me getting sick. I have a strong immune system and cold weather doesn't bother me. Especially rain. I love rain, and snow. All precipitation. Also if I do get sick, they will take me to the village doctor right away and she will give me special treatment because I am a victor. Not my friends, though. Somehow, it doesn't seem fair. I curl up under a tree stump. "Hey," a voice says. I look up. "What? Charcol?" Charcol grins at my obliviation to his appearance. "Heard it was your birthday. Got something for you." He hand me a little box. I open it to find a siler maple leaf pin. "I know it's not much," he says, "but I wanted you to have it." I grin at him. "Thanks," I say, smiling. For a minute we just stare at each other. Me entangled in the pine, him out in the newfallen snow. "Come on," he says. "Let's get you home." I stiffen. "I don't want to go home," I say. He laughs. "Then at least come share my coat." I do. It's warm inside and smells like smoke, a good, autumn-like smell. "Thanks," I say, no other words forming in my head that I could say. Then we sit there. For a long time, around 15 minutes. Then I straighten, taking my head off his shoulder. "I have to go," I say. "Thanks so much." When he smiles, I feel all bubbly and happy. Suddenly, I can't wait to get home.
Chapter 10:
"And the girl is... MARIA AZEALIA!" I'm on the platform, and I hold back the scream. "Maria," I whisper when she reaches the stage, "Please try really hard." Maria nods. Leven's face below is stricken, and she's sobbing. Maria, I notice, is trying to be confident, but she has tears running out her green eyes. Silent ones. The boy's name is drawn, and it's Storm Skye. They shake hands and then the peacekeepers drag them off the stage.
Leven is going nuts. Then finally she twitches and collapses. "Leven!" I scream. "She's in shock!" someone yells. I whirl around. "Shock, in shock, her heart could stop any minute now..." I twist and turn, then a branch hits my face. "Thyme," I remember someone telling me as they showed me the plant. "It's good for shock." That was Briar, one time when we were in the woods. I was doing a project on leaf classification and she helped me. "Thanks, Briar!" I whisper, tearing off a clump of leaves, opening Leven's mouth and shoving them down her throat. She coughs, then the leaves go down. "Eyugh," she finally groans. "Those... taste horrible." "Leven!" I cry, glad she's back. "Eclipse," she sighs. Then she sits up. "What's going on?" "The reaping..." I trail off as the color drains from Leven's face. "No! No! Maria! Is she still... is she..." "Don't worry, Leven," I tell her. "Your sister will be safe. I'll train her as best I can." Leven hugs me, wraps her arms around me like a boa constrictor. "Crushing... me..." I grunt, which finally makes her let go. "Just try. That's all I want you to do." I nod. "Go on ahead, remember, you still have another little sister to look after." She grins. "See you around." "See you," I say. Then I am being whisked off to the Capitol. But first, I see Charcol running up to me, holding something in his hands. "Eclipse!" he yells. He tries to throw it to me, but it only floats in the other direction, as if he's throwing a sheet of paper. I reach out to catch it, but it floats out of my grasp. But I see it clearly as it touches the snow. The pink almost leached out of it in some places, the dew on it sparkling like diamonds.
Its a rose.
Chapter 11:
I look out at the streets of the Capitol. Ridiculous. Every one of them seems to be altered just for this event. I try to avoid eye contact with anyone. After Maria finishes training I will be going home to Ditrict 0 to watch her. There are other, more experienced victors of District 0 that can look after her better.
I wonder what will happen now.
Maria's chariot rides are excellent. She is in a midnight blue dress. Lights flicker around it, making te dress seem alive with shooting stars. My prep team, they work like magic. She manages to pull an 6 in training. OK, not the best training score I've seen but good enough.
She seems very bright and skilled and she is ery determined.
So why do I feel so worried?

Four years after the serial under-achievers from the blue half of Manchester were bought by the Abu Dhabi United Group, the club's fabulously wealthy owners are poised to see the biggest return yet on their substantial investment.
Victory over Queens Park Rangers at Eastlands on Sunday will — barring a miraculous scoreline for Manchester United at Sunderland — be enough to see Roberto Mancini's side claim the league crown and City skipper Vincent Kompany is hoping the Blues' amazing run on home turf will help them achieve just that.
City have drawn one and won all their remaining EPL games at the Etihad Stadium this season. "We are determined and completely focussed on what we have to do. I can only tell you one thing, all the players will be ready for it.
"People are saying that this match is somehow different, but there hasn't been a team that's come to the Etihad Stadium this season that didn't have to get something. It'll be a good game, I'm sure of that," the Belgian defender, who was named the Premier League's player of the season, told the club's official website.
"Things don't have to come easy and if QPR give us a good game then fair play to them. We just have to be better than them," he added. While Rangers are fighting for Premier League survival, needing a win to be sure of avoiding relegation, City head into the game on the back of a remarkable home record that has seen them drop just two points at Eastlands all season.

Woodbridge defensive lineman Da'Shawn Hand, rated by Rivals.com as the top recruit in the Class of 2014, announced last week that he will choose his collegiate football home on his 18th birthday — Nov. 14.
But the decision between three of the preeminent programs in college football — Alabama, Florida and Michigan — is only one intriguing story line of his senior season.
The Post has been granted unfettered access to Hand, his family and the Woodbridge Vikings for the upcoming season. Video journalist Brad Horn will follow the 6-5, 260-pound standout both on and off the field, giving an inside look at the challenges facing a top recruit juggling school, football and his senior year. The new series is titled "First and 17."
As a 17-year-old senior at Woodbridge, Hand is also preparing for his final academic year at the 2,600-student high school, one that he hopes will put him on track to major in sports marketing at whichever university he selects. On the field, Hand will face sky-high expectations while he attempts to guide a talented Vikings team led by first-year coach and former All-Met Karibi Dede on a deep playoff run. Meantime, he's still intent on enjoying just being himself and enjoying his last year of high school.
"I want them to see how hard I work, how bad I want it and how dedicated I am," Hand said. "I hope they see that I'm a straight up guy. What you see is what you get."
Starting on Friday, Aug. 23, The Post will publish weekly "First and 17" video chapters on washingtonpost.com highlighting different aspects of Hand's life and the roles of those around him. The videos will include game highlights from the week before, interviews and much more as Horn track's Hand's day-to-day life.
"There's so much going on in Woodbridge that it's been tough to know where to point the camera," Horn said. "Not only are Da'Shawn and his family in this totally exciting and bizarre situation, but the Woodbridge team has a brand new coaching staff and they're trying to work out all these kinks on the fly: dreams are colliding with reality, relationships are evolving in real time. I have no idea what's going to happen from day to day. It's pretty raw stuff."
The video series will be accompanied by a series of stories from the sports and education desks, profiling Hand and examining the pressures he faces, and taking a broader perspective on college recruiting and the academic lifestyle of a top national recruit.
Starting the 23rd, you can follow along at washingtonpost.com/Firstand17 and track and discuss the series on Twitter using the hashtag, #Firstand17.
Stay tuned…
Hand still the nation's top recruit

Sun & Urn: Poems
Christopher Salerno s fourth collection of poems, Sun & Urn, is a book made from the wild stuff of grief and loss. Readers will find in these lyric poems a peculiar force pushing beyond the obvious. Sad, tender, whimsical, this book mines the poet s personal journey through grief for a universal look at how we as human beings handle our greatest losses. Coursing through this work is the clarity of vulnerability. With an idiosyncratic and inquisitive lyricism, Sun & Urn examines, repositions, and makes art from the odd scraps left over after a father s sudden death, from infertility and divorce, and from the hope of new love."

Child Support
By Nick Wikeley
This book, by one of the UK's leading scholars of welfare law, analyzes the current UK child support legislation in its broader historical and social context, synthesizing both doctrinal and socio-legal approaches to legal research and scholarship. The book draws on the historical and legal literature on the Poor Law and the development of both the public and private law obligation of child maintenance. Modern child support law must also be considered in the context of both social and demographic changes and in the light of popular norms about child maintenance liabilities. The book is devoted to an analysis of the modern child support scheme, and the key issues are addressed, including: the distinction between applications in 'private' and 'benefit' cases and the extent to which the courts retain a role in child maintenance matters; the basis for, and the justification for, the exception from the obligation for parents with care on benefit to co-operate with the UK's Child Support Agency (CSA) where they fear 'undue harm or distress'; the assessment of income for the purposes of the CSA formula and the evidential difficulties this entails; the tension between the CSA formula, which ignores the parent with care's income, and the demands of distributive justice; the further conflict between the CSA formula under which liability is capped only for the very wealthy, and the traditional approach of private law, which is premised on children being entitled to maintenance rather than a share in family wealth; the treatment of special cases under the formula by way of 'variations' (formerly 'departures'); the nature of CSA decision making and the scope for appeals; and the efficacy of the provisions relating to collection and enforcement.

WEBB or STEVENS WILLIAMS Pair VICTORIAN ENAMEL Vases

United States
Guest Book
RARE and Amazing Matched VICTORIAN Pair of ENAMEL Vases with MIRROR Decoration and Original Labels, circa late 1800s!!! I find it incredible that this pieces, as old as they are still have the original labels attached to them. I have taken a close up photo of them for you. The 1 with the most writing has the word "Pair" on the corner. Also has 2 initials in the center that look like "C" and "L", done in cursive. On the other label I think I see the word "Rose". They also have numbers. I have been researching this pieces for a few weeks now, and the best description came from an European Art Glass dealer here on Trocadero who wrote to me. This is an excerpt from the letter he sent to me:
"Based on form and color I would say they are English…either Webb or Stevens and Williams. Either maker would carry the same value and desirability in the market, so a lack of exact attribution should not hurt the value. They are hand painted to mimic the ACB (Acid Cut Back) Cameo glass by these makers"
So this 2 pieces could be Thomas Webb & Sons or Stevens and Williams!!! The details of the enamel work are really Fantastic! The person who did the painted brush work was truly masterful at his job. I have looked and researched other similar pieces, but most pieces I find are with single flowers and little extras. For example I have not seen a single pieces with the double lines at the rim + the filigree type decoration added. Also it looks like there are 4 different plants depicted, one with a large Flower in the middle, another plant with smaller Orchid type flowers going up to the neck of the vase, another set of branches with Fern type decoration that frame the edges, as well as a large Elephant Ear plant, of which there is 1 leaf showing. The Enamel itself looks to be all there, with no losses. The bottom of the pieces also have 2 lines around, just like the top rim. Believe they have called this Florentine Glass and "Faux" Cameo. They were very well kept by the previous owner. There is NO damage that I can detect. In EXCELLENT Condition!!!
They measures 8" tall (20.32 cm) x 4 1/2" wide (11.43 cm) .… International Buyers WELCOMED!!! ........ Questions? Don't hesitate to ask!

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
money to my LLC, and then the LLC is going to lend the money to my family member the homeowner, owner occupied residence. It will be a Second position loan on their house. The law is confusing but my understanding is that usury law would not apply since it is a direct loan (no middleman) secured by the home. I would like to charge a fee up front also, 5% of the loan amount. Anything illegal here?
Your assumption is incorrect. Loans between private parties are limited by CA usury laws. The maximum rate is 10% per annum. If you want more interest, you would need the loan to be brokered by a real estate broker.
I urge you to: 1) open a loan escrow; 2) obtain a title policy insuring your interest; 3) conduct due diligence regarding the security of your investment and the ability of the family member to repay the loan.
Loans secured by 2nd deeds of trust are VERY risky. Should the 1st foreclose, your security will be entirely wiped out. Unless you have sufficient financial resources to protect your investment in the event of default on the 1st, and are a sophisticated investor (which it appears you are not), I would not make the loan if you expect to be paid back. Good luck.

Usury laws generally not apply to 'regular' financial institutions.

He died in a car accident along with a close friend in 2008 on their way to school. Is been almost four years! I remember going back to school for the first time and everyone watched me, stared, as if i was somesort of object, everyone trying to comfort me and i couldnt take it. Never before did i care what people thought of me, but after this its all i could think of because so many people where thinking of me. I didnt want to express my feelings to anyone mostly because i didnt know how, not to mention i ran myself dry of tears. Nothing felt real. I got into Smoking weed on the regular, and i always felt numb. not sad, just self conscious and numb. I lost my personality completely and it is a daily struggle to get back to the happy little kid i used to be. I was always getting into constant arguments with my mom and my dad would monitor the conversations to make sure they didnt get too out of hand although sometimes they did. But ive been getting better as a person. More thoughtful and observational than ever always trying to do the right thing and i have such an open mind to life now. The only thing is, I feel like im always being watched, ill always remember that day at school. I talked to 3 people at most about Blakes passing and i just never got the right answer or comfort. I know things cant be the same but that day my brother died, a piece of me left with him. As time passed i got worse and people kind of moved on without me. my confidence level is very low but i think its getting better. I used to be so outgoing its such a shame i feel like im wasting my life away sometimes. So if anyone reads this My only question is how can i get these voices out of my head. Telling myself i cant or im not able to do something. Im fairly attractive and ive destroyed all hopes of getting a girlfriend. Im kinda feeling down. please help :)
