Hey! Today's my one year anniversary! Well technically it's yesterday, but whatever, I really can't believe I've been on here for a year though. Well On With The Chapter!
Disclaimer: I do not own the Hunger Games, and anything else except for my ideas and OC. You also may not sue me for killing certain characters.
Katniss was kissing me, I repeat Katniss was kissing me. I was shocked at first, and then I kissed back. I wasn't sure if she was trying to tell me she liked me, or it was a goodbye kiss of sorts, but I kissed back with all I had. I tried to convey all my feelings into the kiss. After that I just enjoyed it, I ran my hands through her hair, and then reality struck.
I remembered that she wasn't quite alright, and I was taking advantage of her by kissing her. I explained it all to her, funny I was always the one trying to get with her.
"Okay then, to prove you aren't taking advantage of me whatsoever we'll wait a month or two. Then we can talk, sound good?" Katniss responded. It did, it sounded like the best way I could go right now.
"Yeah, it does sound good. I'll accept that offer," I told her. Katniss smiled at me.
"I guess we'll talk again then."
"You're making it sound like we won't see each other for years and years. We can't leave till the games are over."
"Yeah, but we won't be talking about this for a while. By all means can we talk about other stuff." I nodded, and then Katniss yawned.
"It's late you should go to bed." Katniss nodded and started toward her room.
"Hey I'll walk you over there," I offered. Katniss smiled at me.
"Thanks, but I'll be fine."
I went to my room and just laid in bed for a while. I stared up at the ceiling, and I thought about every thing. I had one last thought before drifting off.
This was not what I expected.
The next morning I got two surprises, the first was that she was up, had eaten breakfast, and was dressed. The second was that she was going out.
"Where did you say you were going? I didn't catch it the first time,"
"Nice try, Cato, but I'm not falling for that trick. I'm not telling you. I can guarantee I'll be back for lunch though." I scowled. I really wish she would just tell me, I really don't like being left in the dark. Also I could kiss whatever got her out of her gloomy spirits.
"No." Katniss stepped into the elevator, "I'll see you later." The doors slid shut, and Katniss disappeared behind them.
I had a pretty crappy morning.
I stared at the three word when I got in the elevator. It was under my pillow last night just as he had said. The note simple said, "He's not dead." Yesterday I went outside, hoping some fresh air, and smell of grass would make me feel better. It didn't. I did however met a man.
This man was standing just out of sight of any officials, or cameras. He told he had news about Gale, and that today I should be at the top of the training center at 9:30. I didn't trust him one bit.
"Yeah? You know something about Gale? Well prove it," I challenged him. He smiled.
"I can do that. Look under your pillow tonight, with what you learn you can decided for yourself if you'll come." After that he blended into the shadows, and just kind of disappeared.
Now here I am. I hit the button for the roof, and arrive five minutes before schedule. The elevator dings, and I step onto the roof. The man is already there. He smiles when the door opens.
"I knew you would come," he says cockily. I glare, but say nothing.
"What do you know about Gale?" I asked through gritted teeth. The man took a deep breath.
"This is a long story, you might as well sit down," he gestured to the two seats across from each other. I sit down and stare at him. "Right, there is a rebellion starting, and we are always looking for more people to join us. We talked to Gale before he went in, we wanted him to try to do something outrageous, and we would then try to get him out. We weren't quite counting on the other two, but they'll be quite useful. As I was saying in that tunnel Gale scorned the Capitol, live, many people in the outer districts heard it, less in the nearer districts. Which was our plan. Then we had to get him out alive.
"So we have some people in the control room who managed to sabotage the rock fall, what really happened was the ground beneath them opened and they fell about ten feet, with a few rocks. They arrived in a hidden tunnel so we could retrieve them, the rock fall just covered our tracks," the man explained.
"Right, and what do I have to do with this?"
"Well Haymitch has been with us for a few years now, and he knew you would be trustworthy. We are trying to start a rebellion so we need as many districts on our side as possible. The people love Cato and we thought if he can be turned against the Capitol turning District Two would be much easier, because their obviously going to be the hardest to convince. We found out Brutus wanted to be done with this, and got someone to subtly hint at having Cato sign up to be a replacement mentor, Brutus being as high up as he is he got Cato on the top of the list. Then Haymitch faked illness, and Cato was with you.
"The next part was easy, there's just something about you that motivates people, makes them see life for what it really is. If Cato can be trusted we need him, because I know if he's on our side it could really help. I'm willing to bet that Clove girl will win the Games, Cato could turn her. The question is will you join?" I hesitated for a moment, thinking about how this could backfire, then I nodded.
"Yes, I'll join the rebellion. I just have one question, who is 'we'?"
"We is the rebellion, but it's also District 13, yes we're alive, and now I'm sure you want to know what you have to do," I mutely nodded, "Talk to Cato more, find out about his stand on the Capitol. If he's trustworthy we need him before the next Games, can you do that?"
"Yeah I can do that, but how will I contact you?"
"Don't worry about it, we'll contact you. Now you should get going, don't want anyone to get suspicious."
"I suppose I'll hear from you again, so 'till later," I said before exiting through the elevator. I leaned against the wall, there was a lot of information to take in. I decided to eat lunch in my room, so I could think undisturbed. Let's list the facts now.
Gale some how joined the rebellion.
Gale said all those things on the TV so he could help start the rebellion in the outer districts.
Gale is alive, so is Minnie, and Thresh.
Meeting Cato was all arranged.
I'm suppose to see of he'll support the rebellion or not.
I was still making my mental list when there was a sharp knock at the door.
"Yeah?" I called out. Cato peek his head in.
"We still have to watch the games, it's mandatory," he informed me. I groaned, and then got up.
"Let's go then," I muttered.
Cato and I sat on the large, much more comfortable couch in the main area. The games we pretty boring that day. They became generally like every other Hunger Games. Six days later Clove won.
Cato got up and stretched.
"Well it looks like I'll be working with Clove next year, lucky me," he noted. I smirked.
"Have fun with that."
"Oh I doubt I'll have as much fun with her as I did with you." I rolled my eyes.
"So are you looking forward to going home?"
"Yes and no, I want to see Prim again, but I don't want to see Gale's family." Especially because I know he's alive and they don't. Cato nodded, is it just me or does it seem like there's been a lot of nodding going on?
"I feel for you, that would really suck." Cato patted me on the shoulder. "At least you'll have me, you can call me whenever you want." I grinned at him, that does seem to be the best part of my task, I get to spend time with Cato.
"I'll be sure to ring you up."
The next day Cato and I are standing in front of a train that just pulled up. We walk aboard, and before we know it we're in District Two. Cato gives me a sly grin, and points at me.
"If you forget to call I'm going to be waking you up throughout the night," he said very seriously. I got to hug him.
"I'll miss you too." He got off the train, and then it headed for District Twelve.
Katniss and I talked on the phone for a month, and then I got sick of it. I wanted to see her. I wanted to see her smile, and roll her eyes. I also wanted to get in good terms with her sister who had called me just days ago and said I should visit in person.
Here I am, I'm once again standing in front of Katniss Everdeen's house. I knock on the door, I'm really hoping her mom doesn't open the door. Katniss didn't talk much about her, and I don't think she likes me. Luckily it's Prim.
"Hi, so you did decided to come!"
"Yeah, is Katniss here?" Prim shook her head.
"No, she went out. She'll be back soon though, she's taking food to the Hawthorns."
"Mhm," I sat down in the living room, "So any scandalous in your life recently?" I asked. I'd gotten to know Prim a little more, because after she picked up the phone when Katniss wasn't there she'd started to talk to me. It's nice actually to talk to someone who's just so nice, sweet, and relatively unworried.
"Yes actually, you've heard about my best friend and how she started to go out with that Tom guy, right? Well I heard from my best friend ,Daisy, that she saw Tom's brother and Tom's ex-girlfriend together," Prim said matter-of-factly.
"Really now?" Prim nodded. Then she went on, and told me other bits of gossip until Katniss came back. The front door swung open and Katniss walked in a half an hour after I got here.
"Hey Prim I'm back," she called out.
"Well it's about time, I've been waiting for you to get here." Katniss gasped.
"Cato! What are you doing here?" she exclaimed.
"Told ya she'd be surprised," Prim mumbled as she walked to her room.
"Why don't we go for a walk," I suggested.
Katniss lead me to this meadow. There she stopped and sat down.
"So why are you here?' I sat down next to her.
"Isn't it obvious? I want to see you., besides it's been a month."
"It has hasn't it?" Now I was a little nervous, I didn't really know how Katniss felt. She could have changed her mind for all I know. I put on a cocky face though.
"Yeah, and I'm still very much in love with you, you know that?" Katniss puts on a thoughtful face.
"You know what, I think I love you too," she replied. I grinned, and I swear my heart is going to burst any second now. It's the first time I've ever heard those words, and I know I'm never going to forget this day. Katniss leans over and once again we kiss, but this time I can enjoy it without feeling guilty.
We fall over, still kissing, but eventually we pull away to breath. Damn you oxygen. We just lay there in the grass staring up at the sky.
I stay for a few more days, and then I leave. Katniss and I keep contact over the phone though. I come and visit her as much as I can. I'm actually surprised that the Capitol hasn't found out about this yet, what with how nosy they are. I decide to hold onto the privacy for as long as I can.
As I spend more time with Katniss, I start to hate the Capitol more and more. I see how poor they make people. How much grief they give them. In District Two we would never learn those things. Most importantly I learned how evil the Capitol really is. Then one day Katniss dropped the bomb. She told me about the rebellion, and her part in it, and what I could do.
I wasn't quite sure at first, but I'm more than ready to help take the capitol down.
"Cato will you join the rebellion to help take down the Capitol?" a man whose name I never got to asked.
"I will."
"Will you swear to never reveal the plans to the Capitol, and protect it at all costs?"
"I will."
"And will you proceed with the rebellion first in your life?"
"I will."
"Then congratulations, you're now in the rebellion." The man quickly disappeared after that, leaving Katniss and me all alone.
"It sound like I was doing wedding vows," I commented. Katniss snickered.
"Yeah it did, I didn't have to swear to all that stuff."
"I guess they wanted to make sure I was legit."
"You seem pretty legit to me."
"Well you know looks can be deceiving."
It was true, the people of Panem saw me has the winner of the 73rd Hunger Games. They didn't see me as a rebel, they saw a victor who killed many.
I am with the rebellion though.
THIS IS THE END OF THE STORY. I wanted to do it in time order with the books so this story is = to HG. The next one will be = to CF, also I really want to revise this and if I keep writing I never will. THERE WILL BE A SEQUEL.
The sequel will be out in about two weeks, so I can get this story revised better. I have no idea what I'll be calling it but here's the basic summary.
It's the 75th Hunger Games, and the rebellion is trying to get started. Gale is helping to figure out a way to finally get the whole thing under way. Cato is trying to keep Clove from finding out about the rebellion, and Katniss she's got to convince her tributes to help, because they've got to be the final piece. Not to mention that she's trying and failing at having a relationship with Cato.
Basically that's it, obviously I can't do the quarter quell from the book, so I still have to figure that out, and a title. If anyone has any suggestions I would love them.
Review because it's the last chance you'll get for this story. I really want to know what you guys think, and I hope you'll check out the sequel when I post it.

I apologize for the long wait. I was planning on finishing UH before I started back up on this story, but unforeseen circumstances have occurred and I will have to put UH on hold until I can figure out how to solve my problem. Fortunately, (and oddly enough because I put this story on hold to work on UH instead) this story was unaffected by the situation at hand. Until I can fix the problem, however, I can definitely put more effort into this fanfic.
"Carson?" Hannah spoke softly. She had eased Nancy's door open and now stood hesitantly in the doorway. Sorrow was evident in her sea-blue eyes, but she was a strong woman and that showed through as well. She'd been crying too; Carson could tell.
"Yes?" he turned to face her, breaking the embrace with Nancy, "What is it, Hannah?"
"Um…" she looked down, wishing that she hadn't bothered the two, "Breakfast is ready."
"Thankyou, Hannah…for everything."
Hannah nodded solemnly and left to head downstairs again. She had heard the news even before Mr. Drew had. The police had tried to reach Mr. Drew, but they hadn't been able to. When Chief McGinnis had called the Drew's home, Hannah had picked up the phone. It was a good thing that he'd called when he did, for Hannah had just been about to head out the door to pick Nancy up from the Fayne home. Once she had explained that Mr. Drew was out at the post office, the Chief had told Hannah what had happened. He asked her to come immediately to the scene. Shocked, Hannah had quickly called Mr. Fayne and asked him to keep Nancy for a little while longer. He had readily agreed, silently wondering what was amiss. On her way out the door, Hannah scrawled a sloppy note for Mr. Drew when he returned. Now, Hannah rested at the foot of the stairs, replaying the last few moments over and over in her head. She had been frantic and panicked. Deep inside, she only felt broken now.
"Daddy," Nancy turned to her father, sweet concern on her brow, "Is Hannah sad too?" She had noticed that Hannah wasn't as chipper as normal.
"Yes, sweetie…she is," Carson whispered.
Nancy rubbed her chin, imitating her father when he thought really hard. Carson couldn't help but laugh at her. It surprised him that he could, but if you'd seen her, you would have laughed too. She looked up at him again. "Are you sad for the same thing?" she asked. She was good at putting two and two together, he had to admit. He nodded, unable to speak.
Nancy cocked her head to one side, considering. She twiddled her thumbs—as best a three year old could—something she had picked up from her mother, "Should I be sad too?" Curiosity and uncertainty burned in the child's eyes as she studied her father's face, searching for a hidden answer to his unusual behavior.
Carson really wasn't sure how to answer her question. He wanted to say no, to let her stay innocent and carefree…but once she figured it out—and she was bound to—how would she not be saddened? Half of him selfishly hoped that she could understand so that he wouldn't have to explain it, but the fatherly half of him wished that she never would, saving her from the pain.
"Hey," Carson forced a cheerfulness into his voice that he thought he would never truly feel again, "Let's go see what Hannah made for breakfast, huh champ?" The little girl smiled at her nickname. She loved it when he called her his champ. Temporarily forgetting her puzzle, she wriggled out of his grasp. She hurried out the door and down the stairs into the kitchen.
"Why, good morning, little sunshine," Hannah smiled down as Nancy came skipping into the kitchen. Another nickname that made Nancy feel gleeful. Hannah had come up with the name because of the soft ball of golden red on Nancy's head.
"Good morning, Hannah!" Nancy smiled brightly. She climbed into her booster seat at the table, "What are we eating?"
"This morning I fixed blueberry pancakes," Hannah answered, setting a sippie-cup of milk and a plate of cut up pancakes in front of the small girl. "Just. For. You," Hannah tapped Nancy's nose affectionately.
Carson came into the kitchen and sat across from Nancy. Hannah slid a plate in front of him, followed swiftly by a cup of hot black coffee. He stared wearily down at his food. Slowly, he picked up his fork and cut into the top layer.

Two all-women motorcycle events at Killeen Power Sports and Fort Hood Harley-Davidson brought out novice and seasoned bikers alike for fun, food and information Wednesday night.
Killeen Power Sports' annual "Ladies Night" drew nonriders and members from seven women motorcycle clubs, including the Queens of Sheba, Klasee Lady Riderz and Showstoppaz.
"It would take something extraordinary for me to ride, like a club needing a member, and then I might do it," said Nadia Hall, who prefers the role of passenger to operator.
Both the Killeen Power Sports and Fort Hood Harley-Davidson events featured similar sessions conducted by employees who reviewed motorcycle basics and safety, and the different classes of motorcycles and riding gear and parts. Women sat on motorcycles to understand how to select the right bike and practiced the proper way to pick up a downed bike.
"The 'Garage Party' is designed for women who want hands-on demos and tips before getting behind the handlebars for the first time," said Carlie Currer, Fort Hood Harley-Davidson's general merchandising manager. "We add some fun, free door prizes and food to make it an enjoyable evening."
Tonia Krei and her daughter, Lauren, 8, attended the "Garage Party" because her husband bought a new Trike Tri-Glide, a three-wheeled motorcycle.
"I've ridden a little as a passenger, but I want to learn what to do, so I can get my license," Tonia Krei said.
Neill Higgenbottom, sales manager at Killeen Power Sports, sees women as a separate and growing segment of riders.
"About 30 percent more women are riding now than in the last 10 years and they're riding all different types of bikes," Higgenbottom said. "Events like Ladies Night allow the company to support women riders and educate nonriders who may buy a bike someday."
Jim Foster, owner of Killeen Power Sports, said they do a "Ladies Night" annually.
"We may do two next year because these ladies are having such a good time and it's a great turnout," Foster said.
Tonia Krei took a test ride on the Jumpstart, a stationary Harley-Davidson motorcycle, and she almost mastered the shifting sequence after a few minutes.
"It was really exciting, and I didn't crash," she said.
Mona Shymkus sat on a Triumph motorcycle at Killeen Power Sports and felt her fear start to fade.
"Maybe I'll be a rider instead of just a passenger," she said.

The Book of Magic Lore, sometimes referred as Lorebook, is a magic book, and one of the twelve Royal Magical Treasures of Amarillia.
The Book was written in an ancient language by the Grand Wizards of Amarillia, but was lost long ago. It was found by a group of adventurers in the Worm Marshes, and sold to a scholar, who gave it to the ruling king [1].
The Lorebook was then given to Sallazar, who uses it, even after his death, as he used it in order to communicate with Jallarial, the last wizard able to defeat the Bone Demon [2][3].

Miyagi, Japan: Turkey broke Japanese hearts with a 1-0 victory that knocked the co-host out of the World Cup on Tuesday. AC Milan's Umit Davala, rising unmarked on the edge of the six-yard box, headed home a corner from Ergun Penbe in the 12th minute to seal a quarterfinal place against Senegal. It was his second of the tournament. Japan, making history by qualifying for the second round, was roared on by a vociferous crowd in blue shirts in the driving rain. Alessandro Santos came closest to leveling the score, but saw a curling free kick from the edge of the box come crashing back off the crossbar in the 41st minute. The Brazilian-born midfielder, however, was taken off at halftime, alongside Junichi Inamoto. In the early stages, neither side got a grip on the game. With the pitch slippery, players were pumping long balls forward in hope of a knock on. The breakthrough came after Japan conceded an unnecessary corner after a poor backpass. That set the tone for much of the half as the co-host frequently made passing errors. The Turks, launching several counterattacks, almost made it 2-0 in the 24th minute when a lofted pass found Hakan Sukur breaking into the box on the left. But his ambitious lob was kept out by Japanese 'keeper Seigo Narazaki. Moments later, Sukur knocked the ball into the path of Hasan Sas, on the edge of the area, whose powerful shot flew over the bar. There were few early glimpses of the fluent, attacking soccer that led Japan to surprisingly finish top of Group H. But as the half drew to an end, Japan got back in the match, prompted by the energetic Santos and Hidetoshi Nakata. In the second half, Takayuki Suzuki and Daisuke Ichikawa were brought on by Japanese coach Philippe Troussier. The changes came as a surprise, but Japan started on top as the Turks sat back and soaked up relentless pressure. Nakata lifted the home fans' spirits with a 52nd minute drive from 20 yards which took a deflection and went straight at Turkish 'keeper Rustu Recber. Shinji Ono was behind much of his team's attacks from midfield. In the 61st minute, Akinori Nishizawa tested Recber with a strong header from a right-wing cross. The pace of the game picked up considerably, and both sides were attacking. But the strong Turkish back four managed to repel everything Japan could throw at it. Goalscorer Davala was brought off with 15 minutes left, replaced by fellow striker Nihat Kahveci. The Japanese struggled to find the final ball and had to settle for long-range strikes which rarely troubled the Turks. Lineups: Japan: 12-Seigo Narazaki, 3-Naoki Matsuda, 5-Junichi Inamoto (22-Daisuke Ichikawa, 46th, 8-Hiroaki Morishima, 86th), 7-Hidetoshi Nakata, 9-Akinori Nishizawa, 14-Alessandro Santos (11-Takayuki Suzuki, 46th), 16-Koji Nakata, 17-Tsuneyasu Miyamoto, 18-Shinji Ono, 20-Tomokazu Myojin, 21-Kazuyuki Toda. Turkey: 1-Rustu Recber, 3-Bulent Korkmaz, 4-Fatih Akyel, 5-Alpay Ozalan, 8-Tugay Kerimoglu, 9-Hakan Sukur (c), 10-Yildiray Basturk (17-Ilhan Mansiz, 90th), 11-Hasan Sas (14-Tayfur Havutcu, 85th), 18-Ergun Penbe, 20-Hakan Unsal, 22-Umit Davala (15-Nihat Kahveci, 74th).

Colleen Brickley was named Graduate Distinguished Teacher for Plymouth State University's Master of Business Administration program for 2005 at the faculty meeting on May 4, 2005.
Says Professor Daniel P. Moore, co-chair of the business department, "Colleen is amazing in her ability to present concepts. She'll capture and teach complex economic ideas in a variety of formats: textually, graphically and mathematically. Regardless of a student's learning style, Colleen can and does teach to them."
Brickley believes that economics has significant relevance to everyday business decisions, and works to convey that idea. "I hope that my students will learn to enjoy the art of problem solving and gain confidence in their own abilities to apply the economic theories, tools and analysis that they have learned to real situations."
Brickley received her B.A. in mathematics with honors from the University of Delaware in Newark, Del. She says that as an undergraduate, "I started taking courses in economics as a related field, and really appreciated the concept of an economic way of thinking and the decisions that all people have to make in their economic worlds. When I decided to attend graduate school, I chose economics as my field because it would give me a chance to use my quantitative skills to address real-world problems and situations."
Brickley began her teaching career as a mathematics instructor at Tilton School. "It was this very positive experience which helped me decide to attend graduate school and prepare for a career in college teaching," she recalls. She earned a master's degree in economics from the University of New Hampshire, then returned to Delaware and taught economics at her own alma mater for 15 years. Brickley joined the Plymouth State faculty in 1993 as an instructor in the business department. From 1998 to 2001, she served as the director of the MBA program.
Brickley's research interests range from applied microeconomics and statistical analysis to women and the economy. She was appointed by the Governor to the State of New Hampshire Equalization Standards Board as the public representative with statistical expertise. She also serves as treasurer of the Board of Directors of Speare Hospital, as a member of the Social Studies Revision Committee for the State of New Hampshire, and as a Board member of Speare Medical Associates.

In this week's free InDesign Secrets movie, David Blatner demonstrates how using InDesign's ability to automatically number paragraphs can help you get around some of the limitations of the automatic page numbering feature. In David's example, he shows you how to get right and left pages in each spread to have different page numbering schemes, with the addition of auto-updating sequential numbers, and an added A on the left page and a B on the right page, like this:
Unfortunately, InDesign's page numbering feature doesn't allow you to do this, but auto-numbered paragraphs can.
David starts by creating a page-number element on the master page, then he uses the Numbered List dialog box to set up the letter feature and indicate his preferences for the left (A) and right (B) page numbers. The video is scattered with mini-secrets along the way, including document navigation tips, a trick for stealthily opening the Numbered List dialog box, and a discussion on the intricacies of creating a numbered list that spans across unthreaded text frames.
Meanwhile, in the lynda.com library, David's partner in InDesign secrecy, Anne-Marie Concepcion has an exclusive movie for members on how to use the InDesign CS5.5 Articles panel to set your story order, and why you would want to do it. Just look for movie number 036, Setting story order with the Articles panel, on the InDesign Secrets table of contents page.

The Beijing Coup occured in the Asian Confederacy during Earth's Final War.
The genetically enhanced "super soldiers" the Confederate government employed in its fight against the Ukrainian Supremacists were sterile by design. In order to gain control of their only means of reproduction, they turned on their own creators and took over the cloning farms they had come from.
The result of the coup was a period of internal struggle that weakened the war effort, while the change in Asian leadership also caused the Europeans to start weaponizing disease strains, while the nations of the Western Hemisphere started to weaponize nanotechnology. (CS3)

INDIANAPOLIS - The Northwestern men's basketball team thought - no, they knew - this was going to be The Season.
The past four months didn't go exactly as the Wildcats and their purple-clad followers planned, but at least for one more day, their hopes of ending one of college basketball's most incomprehensible streaks remain alive. The eighth-seeded Wildcats defeated ninth-seeded Minnesota, 75-65, on Thursday in the first round of the Big Ten tournament to set up a date with top-seeded Ohio State in Friday's quarterfinals.
For the past 71 springs, the school that hosted the inaugural NCAA tournament in 1939 has watched every other program from the big-six Division I conferences go dancing. All the Ivy League teams have earned NCAA tournament berths, as well.
But not Northwestern. Never Northwestern.
The Wildcats (18-12) understand the path to a conference tournament championship - and that elusive first NCAA tournament invite - is arduous, and they know history will provide them no comfort. Northwestern has never even advanced past the second round of the Big Ten tournament.
"We had pretty high expectations going into this year, and then we had some bad injuries, so it knocked us out of the box a little bit," said Northwestern Coach Bill Carmody, who twice led Princeton to the NCAA tournament. "So we knew 31/2 weeks ago that we needed to win these four games to get in. That's tough. That's tough. But I told them: 'It's not like a David-and-Goliath sort of thing. Stranger things have happened.' You just have to go out there and be ready to play."
On Thursday, Northwestern took on a towering, physical Minnesota front court with a pencil-thin starting forward, John Shurna, who Carmody has said "looks like he's 14," and a starting center, Luka Mirkovic, whose visibility was constantly hindered by the plastic face mask he was wearing to protect the nose he broke last summer.
And still, the Wildcats "only lost the rebounding battle by six," said senior guard Michael Thompson, who is generously listed at 5 feet 10.
Indeed, this is an ornery Northwestern squad that remains undeterred - and perhaps steeled by - its inferior size. The Wildcats feed off of Thompson, who when not firing three-pointers from well beyond the arc drives unconsciously toward the rim, regardless of the sizeable obstacles in his way.
Against Minnesota, Thompson played all but one minute, scored a game-high 35 points and made sure to stick out his chin at opposing Gophers after every crucial basket he made.
"We've got that little Thompson guy," Carmody said. "He just plays really well, and it rubs off on some of these other guys."
Those other guys include sophomores Drew Crawford and Alex Marcotullio, who combined to score 28 points Thursday, and Shurna, the team's leading scorer who has missed time this season because of an ankle injury in December and a concussion in late January.
All of them were there last season when Northwestern finished 20-14 but had to settle for the National Invitation Tournament for the second consecutive year. The Wildcats returned four starters from that team and got off to a 9-1 start before dropping their first three Big Ten games. They later lost five of six, including a one-point defeat at home to Ohio State.
After things went south, Northwestern's strategy to halt its ignominious streak changed.
"This was our plan," Mirkovic said. "Entering this tournament, we planned on beating Minnesota and we planned on getting another shot at the number one team in the country."
The Wildcats care nothing for discussions of RPI or strength of schedule or quality victories. They know simply that they must win. Today, tomorrow and the day after. It will be their only salvation.
"We're coming in here with a lot of confidence," Thompson said. "Obviously, our goal is still to make the NCAA tournament. We know what we have to do to make it there."

Sound processing in the inner ear involves separation of the constituent frequencies along the length of the cochlea. Frequencies relevant to human speech (100 to 500 Hz) are processed in the apex region. Among mammals, the guinea pig cochlear apex processes similar frequencies and is thus relevant for the study of speech processing in the cochlea. However, the requirement for extensive surgery has challenged the optical accessibility of this area to investigate cochlear processing of signals without significant intrusion. A simple method is developed to provide optical access to the guinea pig cochlear apex in two directions with minimal surgery. Furthermore, all prior vibration measurements in the guinea pig apex involved opening an observation hole in the otic capsule, which has been questioned on the basis of the resulting changes to cochlear hydrodynamics. Here, this limitation is overcome by measuring the vibrations through the unopened otic capsule using phase-sensitive Fourier domain optical coherence tomography. The optically and surgically advanced method described here lays the foundation to perform minimally invasive investigation of speech-related signal processing in the cochlea.
Sound entering the ear stimulates the cochlea and launches a fluid-structure traveling wave along the structures in the inner ear. The constituent sound frequencies are separated along the length of the cochlea with high frequencies near the base, which is closer to the middle ear, and low frequencies near the apex. The sound-induced vibrations inside the cochlea are highly complex in a living mammal and are vulnerable to damage. These vibrations could, therefore, provide important information on the mechanisms of normal and impaired hearing. Most previous measurements of inner ear vibrations were limited to the first surface in the optical view, which is the basilar membrane in the basal turn and the reticular lamina or the tectorial membrane in the apical turn, upon opening the bony otic capsule.1 Furthermore, reflective beads were introduced to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio, as inner ear tissues have poor reflectivity.
Phase-sensitive Fourier domain optical coherence tomography (PhS-FDOCT) is ideal to measure inner ear vibrations because it can detect vibrations of samples with very low native reflectance without the need to introduce reflective objects. Vibrations on the order of a fraction of a nanometer can be measured across tissue and over a wide frequency range. Additionally, it provides the capability to simultaneously image the structure to identify where the vibrations are detected. This technique has recently been used to measure inner ear vibrations without opening the cochlea in the hook region of the guinea pig cochlea,2 hook and next turn in the mouse cochlea,3 and in the mouse apical turn.4
The fundamental frequency of the human voice ranges from 100 to 300 Hz, and a large part of the frequency range used in music has fundamental frequencies and at least some harmonics at frequencies below 1000 Hz. The ability to hear a low stimulus frequency is therefore fundamental for speech and music perception, and, indeed, oral communication becomes difficult if low-frequency hearing is disturbed. It is believed that the cochlear processing of low frequencies in the apex is different from the processing of high frequencies in the basal region.1 The different behavior in the apex could be concomitant with the fact that the auditory nerve phase-locks to sound stimulus at low frequencies (below ∼4000 Hz), whereas it is not phase-locked at higher frequencies.
While much information from physiologically intact preparations is available from the high-frequency or basal regions of the cochlea,1,5,6 this is not the case for the apical regions. One problem is that previous techniques required opening the cochlea, which is doable at high frequencies (because acoustic wavelengths are smaller than the cochlear dimensions), but the response of the apical turn may be altered by such observation windows in the bone (e.g., Ref. 7). The problem is compounded by the anatomical inaccessibility of the guinea pig cochlear apex, which has meant that previous studies were either performed in vitro, or in preparations where an extensive and potentially damaging surgical approach was necessary. The history of cochlear imaging and interferometry is discussed in detail in Ref. 8.
We have developed measurement techniques and surgical approaches that improve this situation. The method described here enables us, for the first time, to measure the cochlear mechanical response to frequencies <1000 Hz in the absence of artificial reflectors or observation windows through the bone. The method is based on two technical advancements: (1) optical, to allow optical penetration into the cochlea, in particular to the organ of Corti and tectorial membrane, without opening the otic capsule and (2) anatomical, to allow measurements apically along the cochlear axial direction with reduced surgery compared with that used thus far. The optical development is based on PhS-FDOCT and the anatomical development on the novel idea of using a mirror to direct the beam axially, thus eliminating the need for ventral surgery. Since the current surgery is less traumatic and the fluid boundary conditions are unaltered, these two developments together enable gathering of important, less artifact-prone vibration data for understanding sound processing in the low-frequency region of the cochlea.
Measurements reported in this article were made in vivo in normal-hearing albino guinea pigs of either sex (250 to 350 g). Albino animals are expected to have the same normal cochlear mechanics as pigmented, and the lack of pigmentation reduces light scatter in the cochlea. All procedures in this study were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of Oregon Health and Science University.
The schematic of the PhS-FDOCT system setup used in this study is shown in Fig. 1. The optical source is a broadband superluminescent diode (SLD, SuperLum) with a central wavelength of 840 nm and a spectral bandwidth of 45 nm. The light from the SLD is coupled into a fiber-based Michelson interferometer via an optical circulator with a coupling ratio of 90:10. In the reference arm, the light is delivered onto a stationary mirror. The light in the sample arm is focused onto the sample via an objective lens with a focal length of 30 mm. The sample is scanned along the x-direction by a galvo mirror (GVSM002, Thor Labs) to acquire reflectance image using B-scan or to acquire vibration at multiple spatial points using M-B mode scanning.

A 2×2 optical fiber coupler recombines the light backscattered from the sample and reflected from the reference mirror. This combined beam is routed to a purpose-built, high-speed spectrometer via the optical circulator. The spectrometer consists of a 30-mm focal length collimator, a 1200-lines/mm transmission grating, an achromatic lens with 100 mm focal length, and a 12-bit, 4096-pixel CMOS line-scan camera (Basler Sprint spL4096-140 km), of which only 2048 pixels are used, to reduce data-acquisition time. To improve the signal-to-noise ratio, we use vertical binning as well as horizontal binning, both over 2 pixels, which effectively yields 1024 pixels. The maximum line-scan rate of the camera is 140 kHz. We use a reduced sample rate of 10 kHz to improve the signal-to-noise ratio, as the maximum frequency of interest is <1 kHz in this study.
The coherence length and central wavelength of the light source determine the axial resolution, which, in the current instrument, is ∼5 μm in tissue, an advantage of the 840-nm source. The axial resolution is calculated using the formula Display Formula
Young guinea pigs weighing 250 to 350 g were anesthetized by an intraperitoneal injection of a combination of ketamine (40 mg/kg) and xylazine (10 mg/kg). Supplemental 1/2 doses were given every hour or when need was indicated by paw withdrawal to toe pinch. The guinea pig was mounted on a heated head holder. A tracheotomy and placement of a short section of ventilation tubing allowed free breathing. No artificial respiration was needed, and motion from respiration or cardiovascular vibrations did not significantly affect the measurement noise floor. Surgical operation was performed to expose the left bulla, which was then incised to open for access to the cochlea.10 The surgical dissection to expose the auditory bulla was from a ventral direction, and the bulla was widely opened to expose the cochlea but preserve the tympanic membrane. With a widely opened bulla, the apex of the cochlea becomes visible. During the surgery as well as during the experiment, the core temperature of the animal was maintained at 37 to 38 °C by a heating blanket and a rectal thermometer, controlled by a servo temperature controller (FHC, Bowdoinham, Maine).
For apex vibration measurements in the axial direction, it is not possible to simply adjust the head orientation in a guinea pig. The reason is evident from the location of the bulla and the cochlea inside the skull shown in Fig. 2. Because the axial viewing direction is occluded by the jaw and associated neck tissue, extensive surgery is needed to remove part of the jaw and musculature to expose the apex in the axial direction. However, such extensive surgery takes significant time and adds physiological stress and blood loss, which can affect the viability of the guinea pig for long-duration studies while under anesthesia. In addition, the hearing sensitivity could be affected by extensive surgery, and we lack easy-to-use and reliable electrophysiological indicators of cochlear function at these low frequencies (unlike compound action potential and cochlear microphonics at high frequencies for basal turn studies;10 see also Ref. 11).
The guinea pig skull (top) shows the location of the cochlea, and the expanded schematic (bottom) shows the orientation of the apex. Direct optical access to the cochlear apex in the axial direction required in earlier experiments that much of the jaw and neck tissues be removed. Such extensive surgery involved significant blood loss and posed high risk for loss in hearing sensitivity.
To overcome this issue and gain access to the axial direction, we use a mirror device that has two right-angled faces with large openings and a reflective front surface mirror is attached to a 45-deg slanted face [Fig. 3(c)]. This device is placed inside the live animal's bulla facing the cochlea, as shown in Fig. 3(d) and schematically in Fig. 3(a). Because the light is deflected by 90 deg inside the bulla, surgical removal of the jaw and neck tissue is not necessary. This makes it possible to measure vibration using a standard surgical approach developed for the basal turn, a very significant advantage, since extensive dissection is avoided. The placement of the mirror device inside the bulla needs to be done carefully in order to get correct orientation to access the tissues in the cochlear apex. We placed the device inside the bulla by viewing under a dissection microscope and oriented the device such that the top plastic surface was horizontal, as shown in Fig. 3(a).
The method used to measure axial and radial vibrations of the guinea pig cochlear apex. (a) To measure the vibrations in the axial direction, the OCT light from the sample arm is deflected by 90 deg using a mirror device with a reflective front surface mirror placed inside the bulla of the live guinea pig. This step significantly reduces the surgery needed to measure the axial vibrations in the guinea pig apex. (b) The vibrations in the radial direction are measured by direct placement of the animal with the appropriate head orientation in the sample arm, without the use of the mirror device. (c) The mirror device is created by attaching a mirror to the 45-deg surface of a three-dimensional printed prism-shaped plastic part. In this image, the mirror is located on the bottom side. Scale bar 2.5 mm. (d) Mirror device placed inside the bulla in a guinea pig skull for axial direction measurements.
To measure the vibrations in the radial direction, the animal's head orientation was adjusted and the light from the sample arm was directed at the apex as shown in Fig. 3(b) without the use of the mirror device. The depth of the inner ear structures to be viewed in this direction is larger compared to the depth in the axial direction. Therefore, the otic capsule is thinned, but not opened, in older animals to improve the signal-to-noise ratio. In younger animals (less than five weeks of age), the native bone is already sufficiently thin even for the radial vibration measurement.
All sound stimuli were delivered to the ear through a custom speculum fitted tightly into the ear canal to form a closed sound field. An earbud speaker was used to generate the sound. The pressure at the ear canal was precalibrated using a microphone (Bruel and Kjaer type 4138). The data acquisition was done using custom software codes written in Lab View software (National Instruments), which generates the voltage signal to drive the speaker as well as recording the data acquired by the line-scan camera using a camera link. The input voltage to the speaker was adjusted to deliver a constant sound level to the ear. The data recorded by the camera were a function of the optical wavenumber and contained information about the reflectance and vibration of the sample. The postprocessing method described in Ref. 12 was used to derive vibration and reflectance image from the recorded data. The lowest detectable vibration depends on several factors such as the reflectivity of the tissue, animal-to-animal variability, camera sampling rate used, number of averages, etc. For the parameters used in this study (100 to 500 Hz, 40 averages, 10-kHz camera sampling rate, or 4 s of averaging time), and for the guinea pig apex organ of Corti through the otic capsule, the lowest detectable vibration amplitudes were around 1 nm. Only displacements with signal higher than the mean noise floor by at least five standard deviations were considered for analysis.
The displacement amplitude is given by AD=(λ0Φ)/(4πn), where AD is the displacement amplitude, λ0 is the center wavelength of the light source, Φ is the phase of the depth-resolved optical signal, and n is the sample refractive index. The largest displacement that can be measured without phase wrapping is equal to a quarter wavelength of the optical source for n=1. In order to reduce optical noise, as well as to improve this maximum displacement limit, velocity is derived via time differentiation of the raw phase data as discussed in Ref. 12. The time differentiation is done numerically by deriving the phase difference between adjacent A-scans. The velocity magnitude is then given by AV=λ0S/(4πn)*ΔΦ, where S is the camera sampling rate. The maximum velocity measurable without phase wrapping is therefore given by AVmax=λoS4n.
For the detector, we used the Basler Sprint spL4096-140 km CMOS line-scan camera with a maximum sampling rate of 140 kHz. However, because this study was done at low frequencies <1 kHz, we operated the camera at a reduced rate of 10 kHz to take advantage of the larger signal-to-noise ratio. Reducing the camera rate further would limit the maximum vibration that can be measured without phase wrapping. In this study, λ0=840 nm. This gives a maximum velocity limit of 0.21, 2.1, and 21 mm/s for camera sampling rates of 1, 10, and 100 kHz, respectively. Figure 4 shows the corresponding maximum displacement limit versus stimulus frequency for the three camera sampling rates. For the 90 dB SPL sound stimulus used in this study, the vibrations in the guinea pig apex can be as large as 250 to 500 nm below 300 Hz and lower at higher frequencies, as shown by a typical recording in Fig. 4(b). Therefore, we chose to use a 10 kHz camera sampling rate in this study.
(a) Maximum displacement that can be measured using PhS-FDOCT with center wavelength of 840 nm and for camera sampling rates S indicated in the legend. Note that a quarter wavelength of the optical source is 210 nm. The sound-induced displacements in the guinea pig apex can approach several hundred nanometers for 90 dB SPL stimulus level, as shown in (b). In the sample axial frequency response shown in (b), the maximum displacement at 94 dB SPL (or 1 Pascal) is 300 nm at 300 Hz. This value can be higher in some animals.
As described in Sec. 2, a mirror device placed inside the live guinea pig bulla is used to measure the inner ear vibrations in the guinea pig apex through the otic capsule in the axial direction. The reflectance (structural) image is shown in Fig. 5(a), and a schematic is shown in Fig. 5(c) for comparison. The Reissner's membrane, basilar membrane, and the organ of Corti can be identified in the reflectance image. The tectorial membrane appears faint or sometimes not easy to discern. This could be improved by thinning the otic capsule. The axial displacement response in nanometers at 90 dB SPL, 200 Hz is shown in Fig. 5(b). The displacement is higher in the organ of Corti compared to the displacement at the basilar membrane. The Reissner's membrane also has a high displacement response. The response pattern has important physiological implications and is indicative of the status of the inner ear.
PhS-FDOCT measurement of the guinea pig apex in the axial direction. (a) Reflectance or structural image of the apex turn viewed in the axial direction using the method described in Fig. 3(a). Otic capsule (not shown) is at the top of the image. A schematic is shown in (c) for comparison (schematic image from web, courtesy of Britta Flock). Axial and radial directions are marked in the schematic. RM, Reissner's membrane; TM, tectorial membrane; BM, basilar membrane; OoC, organ of Corti. (b) Displacement in nanometers in the axial direction for a 90 dB SPL sound stimulus at 200 Hz.
For the reflectance image shown in Fig. 5(a), 1000 points are used across the radial direction with 200 time averages. For the vibration pattern shown in Fig. 5(b), 25 points are used across the radial direction with 40 time averages. A smaller number of lateral points is used for the vibration recording to save recording time.
The vibrations in the radial direction are measured without using the mirror device by positioning the animal's head as shown in Fig. 3(b). Because the depth of the inner ear structures to be viewed in this direction is larger, the otic capsule may need to be thinned (but not opened) in older animals to improve the signal-to-noise ratio. For the data shown in Fig. 6, thinning the bone was not necessary. The reflectance (structural) image viewed through the bone in the radial direction is shown in Fig. 6(a), and the schematic oriented similarly is shown in Fig. 6(c). Although the deeper structures appear faint, their vibrations can be detected above noise. The radial displacement in nanometers for a 90 dB SPL, 150 Hz stimulus is shown in Fig. 6(b). These data are from a guinea pig different from that shown in Fig. 5. The radial vibration pattern also contains information on the inner ear physiology.

This paper describes the method we have developed to measure in vivo vibrations in the apex of the guinea pig cochlea through the otic capsule in two directions (axial and radial) using PhS-FDOCT. A mirror device is placed inside the cochlear bulla to significantly reduce the surgery needed to access the cochlear apex in the axial direction. This method has enabled, for the first time, the measurement of cochlear response to frequencies <1000 Hz in the absence of artificial reflectors or observation windows through the otic capsule. Although the primary sound-induced excitation for the cochlear structures is in the axial direction, it has been hypothesized13 that the tectorial membrane resonates radially in response to sound. Models have shown that this resonance could play an important role in active feedback amplification in the cochlea.14–16 The tectorial membrane resonance hypothesis has been supported by in vitro experiments in the apex,17 but it has not been tested experimentally in vivo. The method developed in this study will enable us to address this and other questions in unopened cochleae of guinea pigs. The apical turn of the guinea pig cochlea has the best frequencies around 100 to 500 Hz. Investigating this region is important to understand how the cochlea processes speech signals.

I am not sure why I am feeling so cranky about this, am after some perspective please!
On my FB I shared a post which was promoting a sport/club that my DD (age 4) does. It is enrolment time, so the club is keen to get new members - that was pretty clear from the post.
One person commented along the lines of how she was (to paraphrase) emotionally scarred for life as a result of doing that sport (which she did some 35 years ago, and not for very long)
I sent her a polite text asking her to remove the comment, and she replied "Why?", and I replied that I was trying to promote the club and it was not for her rude comments. She then replied "Welcome to social media, I have no happy memories of (sport)".
I feel quite upset about this, and I have deleted the share so the comment is gone too. I have also unfriended her
WDYT? Am I overreacting???
Posted 31 January 2013 - 12:26 PM
It's obviously something she feels strongly about still. Unfortunately that is a part of social media. Being as it's your post can you delete her comment?
What sport is it to give such a strong reaction?
Posted 31 January 2013 - 12:29 PM
You can delete her comment.

well, you DID put it on fb. people are allowed to say whatever they like - and the point of social media IS to share your own experiences. And heaps of women were traumatised as kids by their experiences with sport/ballet/other icky pom pom things.
that having been said - you could have deleted the comment yourself, not waited for her to do it.
and yes, I think taking the whole thing down and defriending is a silly over-reaction. But then again I court controversy on my fb wall all the time and do love a good political stoush.
Posted 31 January 2013 - 12:31 PM
You could've just deleted her comment?
Posted 31 January 2013 - 12:31 PM
I would just delete the comment and then hide them. Have done this for a number of people and it makes for a more pleasant experience without the conflict.
Posted 31 January 2013 - 12:33 PM
Overreaction. She wasn't rude, just stated her opinion. By all means delete the comment or unfriend her. I would not expect her to happily remove the comment given she stands by it and was sharing her personal view.
Posted 31 January 2013 - 12:34 PM
A good portion of my family is certifiably insane, hence, I'm a serial deleter. I would have read it, deleted it, and never thought of it again.
Posted 31 January 2013 - 12:36 PM
I don't think it's a really big issue. She might have some bad memories, but chances are many adults have fond memories of playing that sport when they were children too. I don't think her comment is that likely to affect the enrolment.
I think it would have been better to just reply and say something like 'that's interesting, some of my best childhood memories were on the [insert sport here] field. It was such a wonderful experience for me. I loved being part of a team and I learnt so many new skills.'
I do think you have overreacted a little bit.

Not rude? Are you kidding?
OP shares post saying her daughter is doing this, loves it, would other people like to do it. Person then replies with "it scarred me for life".
That's rude.

Posted 31 January 2013 - 12:40 PM
I would have left the comment as other people will probably stop by and belittle her comment anyway.
Happened to me a while ago how one of my FB friends were making fun of a sport I use to do when I was a kid. No regrets for that sport. She didn't think it was a "sport".
I didn't respond but I found after a day or so, the FB friend was totally bagged by her other friends at her poor attitude and poking at that sport. Karma exists!

If OP was sharing someone else's post she might not be able to delete comments.
Posted 31 January 2013 - 12:42 PM
Hmm .. mixed responses there! I did feel the post was rude, along the lines of 'not until I have psychotherapy to cure the trauma that sport caused me'. So Pompol may be on the mark!
I suppose I am upset because
(1) I was promoting a club sport we/Dd finds enjoyable, and she shot that down; and
(2) I am quite happy to tolerate other people's posts on all sorts of topics that I roll my eyes at, without feeling a need to express my opinion on how much I "hate" said topic?

I agree with pooks.
You handled it very immaturely op.
Your friend has every right to give her opinion on a sport, maybe her experience was horrible? Maybe it's not suitable to particular types of personalities?
Maybe he comment was good to create a conversation on the pro's and cons of the particular sport and if it's improved, changed or not suitable for some,
Facebook is not set up for advertisement only,
If this popped up on her feed then it's a free fr all.
Or perhaps her comment hit a nerve?

Hello and welcome to Savory Lotus! My name is Katja, and here you will find my take on living a healthy lifestyle. I aspire to create easy to prepare, real food recipes that anyone can make. I would like to help make clean living accessible to everyone. I write about things that are important to me as a mama, wife, and real food activist. I am also an aspiring food photographer.
Food is my passion. And food is also my medicine. I believe that good health starts with a healthy gut. So the foods that I prepare are intended to not only taste good but to nourish and heal the body as well. The emphasis here is on REAL food, meaning unprocessed, organic, simple meals. I love food. I am not afraid of butter or bacon. I use lots of healthy fats like ghee and coconut oil in my cooking. I do not subscribe to any particular diet, but you won't find any gluten or grains on my site. I believe that everyone has unique needs and body chemistry. And I believe that lifestyle changes like reducing stress and getting more sleep are just as important to restoring and maintaining good health and vitality as the food you put into your mouth.
I encourage folks to buy as much organic foods as you can afford. Try to get pastured eggs and meats when you can. You body is only a temple if you treat it like one. And I also encourage you to be gentle and kind with yourself when making positive changes in your life and diet. It's a process, a journey. And there is no "right" answer. All we can do is to live and eat they way that best serves us and our planet. And this real food blog is my journey…..
Be sure to visit my REAL FOOD BASICS page to read more.
Many people come to clean living because of health issues. I am one of those people. Dealing with a chronic health issue has really driven what I am doing and where my blog is going. You can read about my healing journey HERE.
My kids are my motivation. I want my family to grow up healthy and happy. I want my children to love REAL food and to know where their food comes from. I want to be home with my kids as much as possible. Savory Lotus allows me to do that. This is my vision. This is my dream. This is my heart.
And these are my girls:
Real food is more than a way of eating. It's a lifestyle. So along with delicious foods, you will find me sharing lots of natural, healthy living tips and DIY beauty secrets.
I love learning and growing. And I will share insights and inspirations that I have along the way. Thanks so much for reading!
