Union to break ground for student housing

JACKSON, Tenn. (BP)--Union University will break ground for a new student residence complex Feb. 22.
Representatives from Union's board of trustees are continuing to work on details with contractors, but the university has scheduled site work to begin Feb. 25 followed in early March by contractors to begin building the new facilities.
The complex will house more than 700 students when it is completed. Initial plans call for half of the housing to be complete by Sept. 1. Union officials expect the second half of the complex to be complete by the spring 2009 semester.
The two-story residence buildings will replace the old Watters and Hurt complexes, which housed about 700 students and sustained heavy damage in the Feb. 5 tornado that caused an estimated $40 million in damage to Union's campus in Jackson, Tenn. None of the buildings in those two complexes was salvageable and the entire complexes were demolished the week of Feb. 11.
The new student housing facilities will be located in the former location of the Watters and Hurt complexes.
The apartment-style rooms in the new housing complex will feature four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchenette and a washer/dryer in each suite. Each building in the complex will contain 40, 48 or 56 bedrooms.
Union President David S. Dockery said the new student housing complex will have "a very handsome look" similar to the appearances of Jennings Hall and White Hall on the west side of the Union campus.
The complex ultimately will consist of four "quads," with four buildings in each quad. Initial plans call for the completion of two quads, plus three buildings in each of the two remaining quads. A men's commons and a women's commons building will complete each of the final two quads after the rest of the buildings are finished.
All rooms will open to the inside of the quad, providing added security, Dockery said. In addition, each bathroom on the lower floor will be reinforced to serve as a safe room for students in the event of a storm.
Total cost for the project is estimated to exceed $30 million.
Last July, Union began construction on a residential complex that was scheduled for completion in 2008. It was originally projected to house 100 students in a four-story, hotel-style facility. But in light of the most recent developments surrounding the tornado damage, the university has decided to discontinue construction on that building.
The Feb. 22 groundbreaking for the new housing complex will be held during the chapel hour at 10 a.m., beginning in the G.M. Savage Memorial Chapel and concluding with the groundbreaking on the site of the new student housing complex, weather permitting.
Detailed images of the proposed plans for the new student housing facilities are available at www.uu.edu/rebuilding.
Tim Ellsworth is director of news and media relations at Union University.

It's in the act of making things that we figure out who we are.
I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.
A man is only as good as what he loves.
Recently, I had the great pleasure of working with a specialist. While I found him to be an excellent doctor and teacher of his field, he impressed me more with his mastery of the art of medicine.
Watching him work reminded me of the heart it takes to work with patients.
After spending a morning with him, I can honestly say without hesitation: I have never been more inspired about medicine.
There was nothing complicated or mysterious about his interactions with patients. There was no parlour tricks or unnatural question structure. It was just him, his patient, and the problem. His language was simple, his examples relevant, and his explanations honest.
We often talk about empathy as a tool to help us connect to a patient. In my hands, it is an embarrassingly clunky, yet unrefined hammer of "it must be frustrating," or that "I see you are upset." His was the precision cut scalpel that sliced to the core issues and emotions.
Patients simply opened up to and connected with him. And I, sitting in my seat, even felt the transference of emotions at times as well. It was a powerful and beautiful display of the art of medicine at work.
To his patients, it was an overwhelming sense of feeling human in the eyes of a stranger, to not feel like a bag of meat at the mercy of a probe and a blade. To him, it was just the way medicine had always been and would continue to be.
For me, it was the revelation of what it is to truly practice great medicine.
Wherever the art of Medicine is loved, there is also a love of Humanity.
After spending four weeks here, today marks the last day of my rural rotation. Through it all, I have seen patients with six different family physicians, done rounds with them in long-term care, and spent time with them at the hospital. It has been a month filled with experiences, stories, and memories.
Rural medicine truly is something different. It has given me a new lens through which to see how medicine can be practiced. The continuity of care, the increased responsibilities, and the increased competency needed to practice have all been demonstrated by the doctors I have come in contact with. They have wowed me with their versatility and their mastery of the art of medicine.
A lot of that comes from the environment they work in. Rural medicine is a demanding area, one where resources are limited and the dependence of a community bears down heavily on the health care profession. After all, family physicians are the point of first contact. With those kinds of pressures, one naturally grows into the role.
The past month has been a unique opportunity to see family medicine practiced in a more holistic way. It has been a privilege to work with these doctors who are as passionate about this form of medicine as they are dedicated to their craft. They have inspired me to do better and think bigger. This rural rotation is an experience that I shall carry with me for the rest of my career.
Now, it is time to say a long good bye as I depart this community for the metropolis, where new experiences await.
I am not sure if I should be saying "you are welcome" or "thank you for the compliment" here, br0sh. You have caught me in a tough spot! :)
In all honesty though my writing style, to my recollection, has always been along this line. When I first started this blog, I had no idea where it would take me. The overarching goal was to paint my story of medical school. Everything you see here happened in some way shape or form. Though details are for the most part changed for privacy and confidentiality reasons, the essence of what I post is real.
Of course, there is always a flip side to everything; at the moment I have chosen, perhaps consciously or subconsciously, to focus on this opposite side less.
The principles that guide my writing are: my desire to not lose sight of the idealism and positivity that drew me to medicine in the first place, to speak about and share my experiences with honesty and transparency, and to respect the moral, ethical, and professional codes of the faculty and of the profession.
This is the framework from which I write and though I do concede it has limitations in some respects, it also has untapped potential in others. I am glad that you have found my writing engaging and positive. Though I do not know if you will consider a path in medicine, I am happy to have shared an experience that allowed you to contemplate it.
All the best to you and your journey. Cheers.

Abigail McIlhany to Play Volleyball for KCU
Abigail McIlhany recently signed to become a Lady Knights volleyball player. She is an outside hitter for an Illinois Juniors club that recently won a Chicago Power League 18's Championship, and formerly played for the Antioch Juniors club. During her senior season, she was a team captain for the Antioch Community High School Sequoits.
When Coach Dixon traveled to metro-Chicago for the signing, he was able to see Abigail play, and was witness to her Illinois Juniors club championship win. He had this to say about his newest recruit: "Abbi has solid club experience, and she brings a depth of talent that will allow her to compete for playing time immediately. She has a good sense for the game, and she meshed well with the team when she visited."
Seated in the photo of Abbi's signing are her parents Keith and Kathy McIlhany, and standing are Coach Bruce Dixon, sister Anna McIlhany, and coaches Jamie Atkinson and Tony Losinger.

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Hating the Market (Final)
Search Jim Cramer's Mad Money trading recommendations using our exclusive Mad Money Stock Screener and watch Jim Cramer's Mad Money Post Game video exclusively on TheStreet.com.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- "As stocks go lower, it makes less sense to sell them, Jim Cramer told viewers of his "Mad Money" TV show Wednesday as he opined on yet another abysmal day on Wall Street.
Cramer said the market is getting too hated when compared to how companies are actually performing.Cramer said the markets are a self-correcting entity. He said fears and worries cause selling, but that selling will eventually end when either prices fall to a level when the bears are converted back into bulls or when there simply aren't any more bears left to sell. He said the markets may have not reach either of these levels yet, but stocks are among the cheapest Cramer's ever seen them. Cramer said investors need to keep in mind that stocks represent real companies with real values. And while the banks may be tied to the financial woes in Europe and the tech stocks may be in a seasonal slump, the rest of the market shouldn't be as low as it currently is. Cramer said only two companies, Scott's Miracle-Gro (SMG) and Owens-Illinois (OI), have reported actual disappointments this quarter. Everyone else is still doing OK. According to the latest investor sentiment numbers, nearly 63% of all investors are bearish on the markets or feel we're in a correction. That's a high number, he explained, which means that most of these bears either are selling or have already sold. That doesn't leave too much further to fall, he concluded.

I invite all of you readers to take a moment to expel a deep sigh of relief before reading any further, because I know this prediction had many of us fretting over the fate of humanity. Thankfully, there is no cause for alarm: Our children and grandchildren and even our great-grandchildren will enjoy a steady supply of light-haired lovelies, and the so-called news providers behind this hoax have apologized for their sensational reports.
If you hadn't heard, The New York Times, the Sunday Times, ABC and even CNN all reported within several days of each other that recent scientific studies had predicted the extinction of natural blondes in the near to relatively-near future. Most reported that this would occur by 2202, but the Manitou Messenger Variety editors alluded to a time-frame as immediate as 15 years (which could be evidence of how far the game of media telephone can be extrapolated or actual reports that editors heard. Who knows?).
For any truly blonde readers who are confused, these predictions all suggested that no new blonde babies would be born after a certain point, not that existing blondes would be struck dead by tow-head-only pandemics. Either way, the future looked grim: The ambiguous entity science was predicting a reality akin to that recently featured in Children of Men, but instead of being completely infertile, women would simply stop producing blonde babies.
The claims were explained in terms of genetic dominance; the genes for light hair are recessive and therefore at risk for eventual elimination from the gene pool as dark-hair genes slowly take over. The added implication of bottle-blondes solidified the argument, and the articles insisted that even countries like Norway and Sweden may find themselves blonde-less within 200 years.
The evidence for these reports were all traced to a 2002 study from the World Health Organization (WHO), and London reporters added that the scientists expected the last true blonde to be born in Finland in 2202. To add controversy to the stories, legitimate geneticists were interviewed and several gave strong defenses of the blonde genes ability to survive and flourish.
Either way, it all sounds pretty convincing, right? Too bad the WHO never conducted any such study, let alone published such results. Apparently, this is just another case of a falsified wildfire that seemed too intriguing to investigate before publishing.
More fascinating still, this is not the first of such claims. The good people at Snopes.com trace rumors of blonde extinction back many years, with particularly virulent theories emerging in 1961, 1906 and even the 1890's. It seems, then, that the idea of potential blonde extinction has continually been able to grab peoples attention. The question remains: Why?
Perhaps it is because blondes are scientifically proven to be more attractive to men than brunettes, and statistically more capable of breaking hearts, kicking asses and taking names, all while having a genetic predisposal towards cuteness and sassiness. (Chill out: I'm making this up as I go, like any good reporter on all matters blonde.) As a result, the media cant help but sensationalize their cultural and genetic importance, and what better way to do that than to present the threat of their possible disappearance?
Just as newspapers will write about the possible endangerment of snow leopards while shrugging off the gradual extinction of certain bacteria, so too will our media be inclined to hype up blonde extinction while never once suggesting similar trends surrounding brown or black hair. Blondes should therefore take these hoaxes as the highest form of flattery and validation, keeping in mind, of course, that only dumb blondes would actually believe such garbage reporting.

The Zhu Zhu Pet saga continues! So by now you have already read about how hard it is to find any place that has Zhu Zhu Pets in stock. They are without a doubt the hottest toy of 2009 and will be virtually impossible to get as the Holiday season approaches.
In my previous post ( Click Here to Read the previous post) I told you about how I was able to locate and get 7 Zhu Zhu Pets from Toys R Us just by calling around.
After getting the actual Zhu Zhu Pet Hamster I realized that I would need the Zhu Zhu Pet Funhouse so my daughter would have a place for her new hamster to play in. Kids tend to form their desire for toys based upon what the kids in the commercials are doing. And of course all the kids in the Zhu Zhu Pet commercials have the funhouse as well as most of the other accessories.

PULLMAN, Wash. – Washington State big man DeAngelo Casto was suspended indefinitely Tuesday after police reportedly found a small amount of marijuana in his off-campus apartment, reported the Spokesman-Review.
Washington State put out a statement Tuesday afternoon, saying Casto would miss Wednesday's NIT quarterfinal game for "a violation of team rules".
"I am disappointed in DeAngelo as he let himself and his teammates down," said head coach Ken Bone in a statement to the media. "Neither myself nor the team will have further comment as our sole focus is the game against Northwestern and the opportunity to reach the NIT semifinals in New York."
WSU Director of Athletics Bill Moos added, "It is important that our student-athletes realize that they are held to a high standard and that a lack of good judgment can be costly, especially in the post season when so much is at stake."
Casto is the third member of WSU's basketball team suspended after being accused of possessing marijuana. Earlier in the season Reggie Moore was cited for two misdemeanor drug charges. And two weeks ago Klay Thompson served a one game suspension after police pulled him over and cited him for possession of marijuana.
Casto, who graduated from Spokane's Ferris High School before attending Washington State, is the Cougars' leading rebounder, pulling down an average of 6.8 rebounds per game. He's third on the team in scoring.

Virginia Tech LB Bruce Taylor talks about his injury and the NFL draft
Source: The Washington Post - Oct 25, 2011 at 1:01 PM
When a Boston College player fell on his foot midway through the third quarter Saturday, Virginia Tech linebacker Bruce Taylor didn't think much of it. He'd hurt his shoulder and knee in the past, and this didn't feel like those injuries. So Taylor tried to play the next snap. And even as he stood on the sideline wearing a protective boot on his right foot, Taylor was still hoping for the best. But then an MRI exam and X-ray on Sunday confirmed the worst. He had a Lisfranc sprain that would require season-ending surgery. Read full article >>

Perfumería Gal has been making Heno de Pravia, Spain's best selling soap, since 1905, and its name has become a household word. Heno de Pravia is an "old friend" to many of us.
I remember when I visited my first parador. I think it was the castle in Olite back in the 1960's. I was of course very impressed by the building and the lovely town. But equally memorable was the sensation of relaxing in a grand bathtub, a cake of Heno de Pravia soap filling the room with a clean, natural aroma. It is a pure, honest, long-lasting soap - without any drying detergents, somewhat similar to the classic Palmolive soap with which you may be familiar.
Around 1899-1901, one of the company's founders was passing by coach through the village of Pravia, in Northern Spain. At the time the local farmers were busy cutting heno - hay, a grass used for livestock. He loved the aroma so much that when he returned to Madrid he reproduced the fragrance of the fresh mown grass and blended it with geranium, lavender and a hint of sandalwood. He colored the bar mossy green and wrapped it in yellow, the color of heno when it dries. And so the Heno de Pravia brand was born.
Made in Mexico.

Teresa Fadeley - Albany, TN "I've used this product since the 60s. They were made in Spain. The scent is lovely and subtle for a while it was unavailable in the market until la tienda included this in its market line. I usually stay loyal to merchandise. I don't know if there is a difference in quality now that this soap is made in Mexico. I haven't tried it yet because I still have my original soaps purchased last year."
Joseph Pusateri - Pittsburgh, PA "I have been using this soap for 25 years. Can't live without it."

Vanish is meant to put you back into stealth.
It increases stealth to such a level for a few seconds you will not be seen.
However it is broken so:
- Attacks in the air still hit and break it
- Attacks made during the time span of clicking vanish and the effect occuring still hit, breaking it
- Targeting is not dropped all the time though the rogue has a stealth level much greater than any detectable level and may be hit by an effect used after they vanished including standard melee attacks.
- Pets of all kinds do not drop target and will give chase, hit, and remove stealth
Remember vanish is a hinge ability.
It's an advanced form of feign death.
It used to have a reagent cost on top of the cool down, now dropped to 3 minutes, because it was intended to be a strong ability.
In the case of a resnare, note that vanish can break while the animation is running thus giving none of its benefits but burning a 3 minute timer.
In comparison to a heal, well if you cast it and lost the health due to a hit, that's normal mechanics. You gained the benefit of your ability. Vanish breaking is often complete happen stance and does not give you the benefit of the ability.
As to how it's known to be broken is that Blizzard has admitted that it is broken and has been for a very long time. They have been trying to fix it but have been wary of how they do so or it will become over powered.

Financial Performance of Government Trading Enterprises 2004-05 to 2005-06
AbstractThis report provides information on the financial performance of 85 Australian, State and Territory Government trading enterprises (GTEs) and also examines the influence of different asset valuation methods and rate of return measures on performance comparisons and capital management (2004-05 to 2005-06). Although in aggregate, profitability increased in all sectors (with the largest improvements in the electricity, railways and forestry sectors), 37 per cent of GTEs recorded declines, and 13 per cent did not report a profit. Despite some improvement, about half of the monitored GTEs did not achieve commercial rates of return in 2005-06, underscoring a long-term failure of governments to operate these businesses on a fully commercial basis in accordance with their competition policy undertakings. Financial performance monitoring of GTEs forms part of the Commission's research into the performance of Australian industries and the progress of microeconomic reform. The monitored GTEs provide services in key sectors of the economy — including electricity, water, urban transport, railways, ports and forestry.

INDIANAPOLIS – Khyle Marshall's rise from complementary piece to legitimate star helped Butler surpass early expectations.
Now the Bulldogs enter their inaugural Big East schedule with plenty of momentum.
Marshall scored 21 points and little-used freshman Rene Castro added 10 off the bench as Butler slugged its way to a 66-48 victory over New Jersey Institute of Technology on Saturday. Kameron Woods chipped in nine points and 12 rebounds for the Bulldogs.
It was the final nonconference game for Butler (10-2), which opens league play Tuesday by playing host to No. 8 Villanova. The Bulldogs have won five in a row since losing twice at the Old Spice Classic.
I'm not surprised at all, Woods said of Marshall's emergence. I was his backup for two years and he's taught me a lot. With our main post guy, Drew (Smith), gone from last year, he's stepped up on both ends.
Kellen Dunham had just nine points on Saturday and the Bulldogs, picked to finish ninth in the reformed, 10-team Big East, didn't miss a beat.
First-year coach Brandon Miller said the nonconference schedule helped Butler prepare for the next portion of the season and a new chapter in program history.
I like where we are right now, Miller said. We've definitely improved from the start of the season. I liked our nonconference in terms of the styles we faced. We've seen a variety of styles like we'll see in the Big East.
NJIT (6-9), the lone Division I independent, lost its fifth straight.
INDIANA STATE 85, BELMONT 73: In Terre Haute, the Sycamores (9-3) were led by Jake Odem who scored 25 points.
The Bruins had a one-point lead in the second half until a basket from Odum put Indiana State up for good at 51-50 with 10:06 remaining.
Craig Bradshaw scored 18 points to lead Belmont (8-6), which has lost four straight.
EVANSVILLE 96, GRAMBLING ST. 61: In Evansville, D.J. Balentine scored 20 points to lead the Purple Aces, who shot 60 percent from the floor.
Blake Simmons and Jaylon Brown both had 14 points for Evansville (7-6), while Egidiju Mockevicius and Duane Gibson added 10 points.
Grambling State (1-7) was paced by A'Torri Shine with 13 points; Antwan Scott added 10 points and six assists.
No.13 HUNTINGTON 72, LAWRENCE TECH 48: At Huntington, the Foresters (13-1) were led by Shane Merryman with 23 points, Derek Hinen who scored 13, and Daniel Woll who added 12.
The Blue Devils (3-12) were led by Brad Watterworth who scored 10 points.
HUNTINGTON 65, SAINT FRANCIS (Ill.) 48: In Chicago, three Foresters scored in the double-digits on the opening day of the Saint Xavier Holiday Tournament.
Pazia Speed scored 15 points, Amelia Recker had 14 and Miranda Palmer added 10 for Huntington.
Saint Francis (3-12) was led by Caleigh Hill who had 12 points and 11 rebounds.
SIENA HEIGHTS 80, GRACE 47: In Chicago, Najee Brazzle led Siena Heights (8-5) with 16 points in their win on the first day of the Roosevelt Holiday Hoops Tournament.
Allison Kauffman scored 10 points to lead the Lancers (6-8).

Santa's Elves Are At It Again
I don't know if you've heard or not, but I am pretty excited about "That's a Wrap" tomorrow. KVKI has rounded up Santa's Elves that are going to WRAP your presents. You can't beat that... seriously

The Nutcracker is one of my favorite Christmas stories and the Sugar Plum Fairy is probably one of the more recognized from Tchaikovsky's masterpiece.
A Polish performance duo called simply Glass Duo takes this iconic melody and transforms it by playing it on a glass harp.
America's First Dysfunctional Family has the biggest affection for Halloween, since it happens during sweeps. But it also has taken on the most wonderful time of the year more than once, so we thought we'd present a few fun 'Simpsons' GIFs and videos to celebrate the season. Or at least be honest about it. (WARNING: Animated holiday merriment below.)
'The Twelve Days of Christmas' can be a tedious song to sing (and listen to), so Jimmy Fallon livened it up a bit on Wednesday's 'Late Night.'
Instead of three French Hens, eight maids-a-milking, and six geese a-laying, Fallon and his 'Late Night Carolers' sang about Charlie Sheen, Kim Kardashian, the Royal wedding, Herman Cain, Occupy Wall Street, and other big news stories from 2011.
Don't use the party as a time to gossip about co-workers or anyone else. Gossip is a bad thing anytime and I don't want to be anywhere near it. If someone does start to jibber-jabber about others, my advice is to move on. If you have to, change table
I am enjoying time with family and friends this week, but I do want to share with you some of the Christmas quotes that I love.
Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love! ~Hamilton Wright Mabie
Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen
Ugly Christmas sweaters are something that have recently come into vogue. You can even through an "Ugly Christmas Sweater Party" and your guests will ooze with Christmas cheer (the eggnog helps!)
There is even websites dedicated to the art of ugly Christmas sweaters! My favorite is myuglychirstmassweater.com.
Thank you for your help with Operation Santa Claus again this year. Because of you, nearly 1,000 little faces will have big smiles on Christmas!
Take a moment and look at the photos of our 27th year of Operation Santa Claus.
Where has all the commercialism gone? This year, the majority of Americans "don't care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree," as Mariah Carey sings. Their favorite aspect of the holiday season is the time they get to spend with loved ones.
Many of us don't know that we have a local St. Jude affiliate in the Fiest Weiller Cancer Center at LSU-MC. They have an amazing staff and you'd be surprised how many children in our area get treatment there and grow up to live happy and healthy lives
Don't be the dork who dresses up in your favorite reindeer sweater and ears. Use those for parties with friends and family.
Also, don't be too casual. It's a festive time. You should wear something a little nicer than you would wear to work
This is such a special week for me and I am sure you love Christmas week too. I dug up some writings/sayings that help me remember to enjoy this special holiday. I hope you enjoy:
Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred, and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmas-time

Huberneau toyed with opponents in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League this season, scoring 16 goals and dishing 29 assists in 30 games for the Saint John Sea Dogs. He also starred on the international stage for Team Canada on the World Junior Championships for the third year in a row. He will fill out his 6-foot-1 frame some day, but he can put up points right now. "That was a pretty good snapshot of his high-end skill set," Panthers coach Kevin Dineen said.

OXFORD, Miss. (AP) - Ole Miss forward Aaron Jones is out for the season after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during Tuesday's loss to Kentucky.
The 6-foot-9 sophomore has been 1 of the 16th-ranked Rebels' most important reserves this season, averaging 3.5 points and 4.1 rebounds per game. He's also second on the team with 32 blocks.
Jones had his knee examined on Wednesday morning and the school confirmed the extent of the injury.
Senior Nick Williams is also out indefinitely with a foot injury. Coach Andy Kennedy says he hopes Williams can return soon, though there was no timetable. The 6-foot-4 guard is averaging 9.4 points per game.
The Rebels travel to face No. 8 Florida on Saturday.

"Shh, it's okay Cas. I know. I've got you. It's okay, angel." which only makes Cas cry harder
"But I'm not an angel anymore, Dean!" he sobs
Dean kisses his forehead and just squeezes him tighter, "You'll always be my angel."

The Seattle Mariners apparently made peanuts last year
3/14/13 in MLB | Pat | 5233 respect
I'm sure there are people way smarter than me who could find some loopholes and hidden dollars somewhere in their books, but the Mariners only made a profit of $5.86 million in 2012.
This is despite having a total payroll of only about $85M. To put it in perspective, that's $130M less than the New York Yankees, who most likely pulled in 9 figure profits.
Is this something that Major League Baseball has to fix? The Mariners aren't even the poorest team, or even close to it. There are teams who see less fans and bring in far less revenue than the M's.
Meanwhile, there are teams like the Yankees, Dodgers, Red Sox, and others who are able to spend wildly and still turn a substantial profit.
Some of this profit is due to ownership of their own TV networks, like YES and NESN. Others are due to huge deals with cable companies like the Dodgers' deal with Time Warner, rumored to be in the $1B range.
Meanwhile the Mariners are pulling in a $5.86M profit. That's about the same as a bench player for the Yankees.
There's already a profit sharing system in place in baseball, but it is extremely limited, and we really haven't seen much change since it was implemented. Does more need to be done to help the small market teams stay competitive?

"I kicked your ass, stole your gun, and almost used it on you, but you'll give me a ride to the next safe zone?" she snorted. "You're either incredibly stupid or planning something."
I ran out to the road and set my device down. I pressed a button on the remote as the gadget flashed red and smiled. I ran back up the hill I had come from and hid behind a rock. I watched as the car crept closer. When it was about fifty yards away I pressed a button on the remote and watched as they slowed down. When the car came to a complete stop I realized my mistake; they were killjoys too!
Of course they were, why would BL/ind officers be all the way out here? I sighed and watched them file out of the car. There were four of them. One had long, bright red hair, another had crazy blonde hair, a shorter one had long black hair, and the last one had an afro type-thing. Weirdos.
The red-haired one started speaking. "Kobra you stay here and watch the stuff," he addressed the blonde man. "We'll go check things out." The three, led by the red-haired man, walked in the opposite direction of me and I sighed in relief. At least they wouldn't see me.
When they were out of sight and the one they called Kobra turned his attention in another direction, I stepped out.
Kobra's POV
I turned around, checking everything to make sure no one was around, when a swift kick pulled my leg's out from under me, landing me face down in the sand. I quickly stood back up to be faced with a girl, not much older than me. I lifted my hands, not prepared to fight her. She quickly grabbed my wrist and flipped me over onto my back before I could defend myself. She planted her foot on my chest and leaned down applying unnecessary pressure.
"Now how do you expect to protect yourself in a position like this?" she asked. She smirked and removed her foot from its place on my chest, holding out her hand to help me up.
As I stood up I took in her appearance. Her hair was a dark brown, it had braids running along the side of her head that fell into the rest of her hair. She wore a masquerade mask that was striped electric blue, pink, and yellow. Her shirt was striped electric blue and yellow with a baggy, gray, paint-splattered half shirt that was torn in multiple places over it. She also had on a pair of black canvas shorts. Her shoes were blue plaid converses that were colored at the tips. The left shoe was colored golden and said 'HEY' in orange and the right was metallic blue and said 'MOON' in metallic purple.
She smirked as I studied her. "Take a picture, it'll last longer." I hadn't realized I was staring.
She sat on the hood of the car and I took a step closer to her. "What's your name?" I asked her.
She stood from the car and sauntered towards me. She brought her face close to mine. Our lips inches apart, she whispered, "Kaleidoscope Sunrise." My heart raced at our close proximity. She chuckled and whipped around twirling a ray gun I hadn't noticed earlier on her finger. She leaned against the passenger door and looked at me. "Well this has been fun," she said, still twirling the gun, "but I must be off. Don't worry, I won't tell a soul that I caught you off guard." She stopped twirling the gun and caught it by the handle. Then I noticed it was my gun. When had she taken it from me?
She turned and started walking away from me. "Hey!" I shouted, grabbing her shoulder. She whirled around and pointed my gun at me, gripping it with both hands.
"Who's got the ray gun here?" she asked with a smirk.
I looked over her shoulder and noticed that Party, Ghoul, and Jet were back. All three had their guns raised and pointed at her. Party cleared his throat and she looked back at them. She turned her attention to me again, smiled, and twisted around to face them, hands in the air. She looked back at me for a moment to throw my gun at my feet.
She took a deep bow, her arms out at her sides, "Kaleidoscope Sunrise," she said as she stood up. She pushed through the three in front of her and continued walking down the road.
I didn't have a chance to think of what I was doing before the words were out of my mouth. "We'll take you to the next safe zone," I shouted to her disappearing form.
She stopped, spun on her heels and was back in my face quickly.
"I kicked your ass, stole your gun, and almost used it on you, but you'll give me a ride to the next safe zone?" she snorted. "You're either incredibly stupid or planning something."
"I'd opt for stupid," Party said, glaring at me.
Kaleidoscope let out a loud laugh and turned to him. "I like you," she turned back to me, "I don't trust you," she said with malice in her voice.
Party cleared his throat again. "Excuse us Ms. Sunrise, but I've got to talk to my brother for a second." He pulled me away from the rest of the group. "Kobra, we don't know her and have no reason to trust her. Hell, if we hadn't showed up when we did, you'd be dead. And besides, we don't know what's wrong with the car." He was right; we didn't know anything about Kaleidoscope.
"Umm, boys," she said from behind Party, "you really need to work on your whispering…" she laughed. "And I think I can help you with your car troubles."
Party and I looked at each other with doubtful looks on our faces, Kaleidoscope only smirked. She turned around and started walking down the road the way we came. When she was about ten yards from the car she leaned down and picked something up. She pulled a remote out of her pocket and pressed a button. Whatever she picked up flashed green in her hands. The car rumbled back to life and Kaleidoscope smiled.
"Problem solved."
A/N so I'm at a friend's hous right now uploading this. Fight the system! As my parents would say. :) But anyways, this is all I've got of this story so far, well all that actually makes sense. Please tell me what you guys think :)
(Oh and thank you all for the warm welcome. I really appreciate it :D)

A Warrington man turned in by his mother on suspicion of making pipe bombs will spend two and a half years in prison.
John Grzyminski, 50, of Saddle Drive, was sentenced in federal district court in Philadelphia on Friday to 30 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Grzyminski pleaded guilty in September to illegally possessing three pipe bombs, which his mother, Catherine Wilson, discovered in the house they shared in the 1800 block of Saddle Drive.
On May 9, Wilson called Warrington Township police to report that she felt threatened by her son.
The police left, but returned to the home when Wilson called back to say she had found what she believed was a pipe bomb on the kitchen counter.
The Philadelphia Police Department Bomb Disposal Unit and federal agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives also were called to the home.
Bomb technicians found two more bombs in an upstairs bedroom and bomb-making materials in the garage, authorities said. Grzyminski's whereabouts, however, were unknown.
Solebury Township police found him the next day, identifying Grzyminski during a traffic stop on May 10. He was arrested and charged with illegal possession of an unregistered explosive device.
"He told police that he had made the bombs for hunting bears, and that he also liked to throw them into lakes for entertainment," prosecutors said in a statement.
