Six area teams are set to start postseason runs, while Area 3 champ Athens Academy will have a first-round bye when the girls state soccer playoffs on Friday. Here's a look at the first-round games:
Decatur at North Oconee, 5 p.m.
North Oconee (12-0-2), ranked No. 6 in the Eurosports Class AAA girls soccer rankings, will take on fifth-ranked Decatur (8-5-1). The Titans have shut out five of their last seven opponents while outscoring them 27-2. Decatur hasn't lost since falling 1-0 to Woodward Academy in March.
JEFFERSON | As Kaylynn Rainey finished up her track and field career at Jefferson on Saturday, she was tired.
"I said, 'hey, look, you've got four more years of this,'" girls track coach Chad Cheatham said. "'You can't get tired now. Now, the real deal begins.'"
And it began on Tuesday, when Rainey signed with Emmanuel College for cross country.
"I'm just excited for the opportunity," said Rainey, who will major in early childhood education.
Rainey finished ninth in the 3,200 at the Class AA sectional at Greater Atlanta Christian on Saturday.
JEFFERSON | There's a family connection between Jefferson's James Howard and Harding University.
"Both of my parents graduated from Harding and they met there," said Howard, who signed a track and field scholarship with Harding at Jefferson on Tuesday. "It's a really nice campus and everything."
Howard, who also had interest from Georgia, Georgia Tech and Lipscomb, will compete in the pole vault, 4x100 relay and 4x400 relay at the state track meet at Jefferson next week.
Coleman Barbee, Patrick Overstreet, Jackson County: In Jackson County's 4-2 victory Monday over Hart County, Barbee pitched a complete-game seven-hitter with six strikeouts and Overstreet had two hits, including a home run, and two RBIs.
Andrew Fogarty, Nick Corso, Jackson County: In Jackson County's 6-5 victory Friday over Oglethorpe County, Fogarty drove in the game-winning run in the bottom of the seventh inning and Corso two hits, two RBIs and two stolen bases.
Monsignor Donovan senior Katie Scherer captured her first GISA Class AA singles title last season.
Now, she wants one more.
"I'm a little bit nervous about defending the title because I feel like I have a lot riding on this," Scherer said. "It's my senior year and I think a lot of people are expecting that out of me.
"It's a lot of pressure, but I'm also excited at the same time because it will be awesome to be a two-time state champ."
Athens Christian led the way in qualifying for the state meet at the Class A sectionals at Landmark Christian on Saturday.
COMMERCE | North Oconee's Harper Sigler surprised himself at the Class AAA sectional track and field meet at East Jackson on Saturday.
The sophomore picked up an unexpected win in the 1,600 and qualified for the state meet at Jefferson beginning May 8.
Cedar Shoals track coaches Roger Edmonds and Sheena Mason knew their athletes were about to peak.
It was just a matter of when.
"We know they've got it in them, and it just seemed like every time we were in a position to maybe take it, we hit a wall with a time or a distance or something," said Edmonds, who coaches the boys team.
In the area meet last week, the walls came down.
WATKINSVILLE | The Oconee County girls tennis team found few obstacles in the second round of the Class AAA state tournament Friday as it swept Coahulla Creek 3-0.
In singles, Caroline McElhannon won 6-4, 6-2 at No. 2 and Julia Hardell won 6-2, 6-3 at No. 3. Katy Kane's match at No. 1 singles was suspended when the Warriors clinched the victory.
In doubles, the No. 1 team of Megan Morris and Erin Horsley won 6-1, 6-2. The No. 2 doubles match with Jenna Bradley and Emily Miner was suspended when the Warriors clinched the match.
Jefferson baseball coach Tommy Knight is feeling pretty good as his team heads into postseason play.
The Dragons (22-3, 14-0 in Region 8-AA) take an 18-game win streak and a veteran roster into the Class AA playoffs.
"We're a little older, which makes us a little bit wiser," Knight said. "Maybe we'll handle some situations better. We went into the round of 16 and played a tough Wesleyan team (last year). They beat us two out of three. Hopefully that experience will help us this year. ... A year in high school makes a huge difference."

It is against federal regulations for any person in public service (including realtors, police officers, etc.) to comment on 'safety' of neighborhoods. Rather, study the crime statistics looking for various trends, but most important, talk to the people that live there, drive through the neighborhoods at various times of the day or days of the week and observe for yourself. Being that you're in Connecticut that may be difficult but maybe someone else can do that for you?

PremierNotes FAQs
What is PremierNotes®?
The notes are direct investments in new debt obligations of Duke Energy. Under the program, Duke Energy borrows directly from investors by issuing notes. In return, investors receive a competitive floating rate of interest that is very favorable compared to other cash alternatives like bank accounts, short-term CDs and money market mutual funds.
Who may invest in PremierNotes?
In order to be an eligible investor, you must be a citizen of the United States, a corporation or partnership incorporated or established in or under the laws of the United States, or a trust or an estate treated as a United States person under Section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code. You may invest individually or jointly with another eligible person. We also offer custodial arrangements for minors. See the prospectus and application form for further details.
How do I enroll in PremierNotes?
You can download enrollment materials at our website, duke-energy.com/premiernotes. Or call us at 800.659.3853 to request an enrollment kit. Our service agents are available from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday, except holidays.
What is the minimum amount I can invest and how do I make my initial investment in PremierNotes?
After completing the application form you must send a personal or corporate check for a minimum of $1,000. Starter checks, bank checks, credit card checks, cashier checks, traveler's checks, money orders and third-party checks will not be accepted for your initial investment. If you are a Duke Energy employee or retiree investing through the Duke Energy Employee or Duke Energy Retiree Investment option, then the initial investment may be $100 or more per month until the minimum required balance of $1,000 is attained. Subsequent investments must be at least $50. Please review the application form and prospectus for additional details.
What is the maximum amount that can be invested?
The maximum investment for any one investor is $1,000,000.
What if my investment falls below the minimum required amount?
You will be notified if your notes will be redeemed and you will be given 30 days to provide additional funds to increase your investment to the applicable minimum balance required before your investment is redeemed. If the minimum investment balance of $1,000 is not attained or maintained, we may redeem the principal amount of your notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest, and mail the proceeds to your registered address. If you have enrolled in the Duke Energy Employee Investment or Duke Energy Retiree Investment options, the minimum required initial investment is only $100 per month until the minimum investment balance of $1,000 is attained. Thereafter, the $1,000 minimum investment balance must be maintained.
What if my investment totals more than the current maximum limit amount?
If the amount of your investment exceeds the maximum for three consecutive months, we may notify you in writing that we intend to redeem the amount of your investment in excess of $1,000,000. You will then have 30 days to redeem the excess portion of your investment. If you do not do so within a 30-day period, we may redeem the amount we have specified and mail a check to the registered holder of the notes, less any tax withholding, if applicable, and any other fees discussed in the prospectus.
How do I set up an electronic funds transfer?
You can set up an electronic funds transfer (EFT) by completing the appropriate sections of the application form and including a voided blank check. See the application form for more details. For your convenience we recommend you establish this feature when you enroll in PremierNotes.
How are interest rates determined?
PremierNotes pays a competitive floating rate of interest that is determined by the Duke Energy PremierNotes Committee or its designee on a weekly basis, and any rate changes become effective the following Monday. The rate of interest also increases when you invest more.
When is interest compounded and posted to my PremierNotes investment?
Interest is compounded daily and posted to your investment monthly. See the prospectus for more information.
Is PremierNotes a bank account and is it insured by the FDIC?
No, the notes are not equivalent to a deposit or other bank account, and are not subject to the protection of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) regulation or insurance, or any other insurance. The notes are direct investments in new debt obligations of Duke Energy. See additional risks outlined in the prospectus. You should consider these risks and determine if investing in PremierNotes is an acceptable investment after considering your financial resources and investment objectives.
How does PremierNotes differ from a money market fund?
PremierNotes is not a money market fund. The notes are not subject to regulation under the Investment Act of 1940, as amended. The notes are direct investments in new debt obligations of Duke Energy. See additional risks outlined in the prospectus.
Are PremierNotes investments taxable?
Yes. Interest earned on your Duke Energy PremierNotes investment will constitute income to you and is taxable in the year that it is paid. Interest income is subject to federal and applicable state and local taxes. Consult your tax advisor for additional information.
Are there check-writing fees?
We do not charge any fees for writing checks for $250 or more. There are also no administrative or maintenance fees and your checkbooks are free.

Are the notes transferable?
No, PremierNotes investments are not transferable.

What is a medallion signature guarantee STAMP?
A medallion signature guarantee is also known as a Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (STAMP) imprint. STAMP is the official signature guarantee program recognized and approved by the financial industry, and supported and endorsed by the Securities Transfer Association (STA). Transfer agents and others who rely on a signature guarantee from a member of STAMP are protected against loss from wrongful endorsements. The medallion signature guarantee is not to be confused with a notary public.
Why do I need a medallion signature guarantee STAMP?
This process protects you by making it more difficult for someone to forge your signature. It also limits the liability and losses if a signature turns out to be forged, as that liability is on the financial institution that accepted the signature and provided the medallion STAMP.
Where can I get a medallion signature guarantee STAMP?
Please contact your financial institution (bank, credit union or broker dealer) to determine if it is a participant in a medallion signature guarantee program.
Can I add a beneficiary to my PremierNotes investment?
No. Beneficiaries are not offered on PremierNotes investments. However, we do offer joint ownership, with rights of survivorship, as well as Trust ownership. You should consult your attorney or other estate planning professional for estate planning advice applicable to your specific circumstances.
How do I order additional checks?
You may order additional checks by logging on to our website, using the reorder stub located in your PremierNotes checkbook or calling us at 800.659.3853.
How can I redeem all or a portion of my notes?
You can redeem all or some of your investment by using your PremierNotes redemption checks, sending a written request to Duke Energy PremierNotes at the agent bank's correspondence address, and using our telephone redemption, wire transfer redemption and directed redemption options.
Are there any fees associated with my notes?
There are no maintenance fees associated with your investment, nor are there charges for your redemption checks (both initial and additional) or using the redemption checks. You may, however, be charged a fee by your commercial bank or financial institution if you make an investment or receive a redemption amount by wire transfer. You may also incur a charge in obtaining any applicable signature guarantee.
The following fee schedule applies:
|Insufficient funds:
|Stop payment requests:
|Wire redemptions:
|Redemptions for less than $250:
|Investment balance less than $1,000:
Fees will be debited directly from your investment balance as a partial redemption of your notes. Please see the prospectus for additional details

Duke Energy PremierNotes® resources
Duke Energy PremierNotes earn interest at a floating rate per annum equal to the most recent seven-day average yield (non-compounded) for taxable money funds as reported weekly in the iMoneyNet Money Fund Average, plus at least 0.25 percent. Interest is compounded daily and posted to your investment monthly. Investors are encouraged to carefully read the program prospectus and seek professional advice from a financial advisor when considering participation in the PremierNotes program. Interest income is subject to federal and applicable state and local taxes. Overdraft and other fees may apply, as outlined in the program prospectus.
An investment in PremierNotes allows individuals and institutions to benefit from the financial strength of Duke Energy Corporation. PremierNotes are not money market accounts, which are typically diversified funds consisting of short-term debt securities of many issuers, and therefore do not meet the diversification and investment quality standards set forth for money market funds by the Investment Company Act of 1940. Instead, PremierNotes are variable denomination, floating rate demand notes that are unsecured debt obligations of Duke Energy Corporation and are backed only by the assets of Duke Energy Corporation. Your investment in PremierNotes is not equivalent to a deposit or other bank account and is not guaranteed, insured or subject to the protection of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Duke Energy Corporation has filed a registration statement (including a prospectus) with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for the offering to which this communication relates. Before you invest, you should read the prospectus that is included in that registration statement, as well as the other documents that Duke Energy Corporation has filed with the SEC, for more complete information about Duke Energy Corporation and this offering. You may get these documents for free by visiting the SEC website at www.sec.gov or by downloading them from the Duke Energy PremierNotes website. Alternatively, Duke Energy Corporation will arrange to send you a prospectus if you request it by calling toll free at 800.659.3853.

Marvel Science Stories
Marvel Science Stories was a U.S. pulp magazine which published a total of fifteen issues in two separate runs, both edited by Robert O. Erisman. The publisher for the first run was Postal Publications, and the second run was published by Western Publishing; both companies were owned by Abraham and Martin Goodman. It appeared in August 1938, and carried stories with more sexual content than was usual for the genre, including several stories by Henry Kuttner, under his own name and also under pseudonyms. Reader reaction was generally negative, with one reader referring to Kuttner's story "The Time Trap" as "trash". The magazine was cancelled after the April 1941 issue, but when a boom in science fiction magazines began in 1950, the publishers revived it. The first issue of the new series was dated November 1950; a further six issues appeared, with the last issue dated May 1952. In addition to Kuttner, contributors to the first run included Arthur J. Burks and Jack Williamson; the second run published stories by Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov, Jack Vance and L. Sprague de Camp, among others. The quality of the second incarnation of the magazine was better than the first, but it was unable to compete with the new, higher-quality magazines that had appeared since the magazine's first series.
Publication history[edit]
Although science fiction (sf) had been published before the 1920s, it did not begin to coalesce into a separately marketed genre until the appearance in 1926 of Amazing Stories, a pulp magazine published by Hugo Gernsback.[1] After 1931, when Miracle Science and Fantasy Stories was launched, no new science fiction magazines appeared for several years. In 1936 Abraham and Martin Goodman, two brothers who owned a publishing company with multiple imprints, launched Ka-Zar, an imitation Tarzan magazine with some borderline sf content.[2] It lasted for three issues, with the last issue dated January 1937.[3] In addition to this marginal science fiction magazine, in 1937 the Goodmans began publishing several "weird-menace" pulps. These were a genre of pulp magazine known for incorporating "sex and sadism", with story lines that placed women in danger, usually because of a threat that appeared to be supernatural but was ultimately revealed to be the work of a human villain. The Goodmans' titles were Detective Short Stories, launched in August 1937, and Mystery Tales, which published its first issue in March 1938. These were followed up by Marvel Science Stories, edited by Robert O. Erisman, which was not intended to be a weird-menace pulp, but an sf magazine. The influence of the "sex and sadism" side of the Goodman's portfolio of magazines was apparent, however: authors were sometimes asked to add more sex to their stories than was usual in the science fiction field at the time.[4]
The first issue contained "Survival" by Arthur J. Burks as the lead novel; this was well received by the readers, and was free of any taint of sex. The first couple of issues contained several stories that did little to offend readers, but they also contained two stories by Henry Kuttner, who was selling regularly to the Goodman's other publications. Erisman and the Goodmans had asked Kuttner to spice up his submissions to Marvel Science Stories. He obliged with "Avengers of Space" in the first issue, which included "scenes of aliens lusting after unclothed Earth women", in the words of sf historian Mike Ashley; and "The Time Trap" in the second issue. Reader reaction was strongly negative: a typical letter, from William Hamling, later to become a publisher and editor of science fiction magazines in his own right, commented, "I was just about to write you a letter of complete congratulations when my eyes fell upon Kuttner's "The Time Trap". All I can say is: PLEASE, in the future, dislodge such trash from your magazine". In addition to these two stories published under Kuttner's name, there were two more stories in the same two issues by him under pseudonyms which were equally offensive to readers such as Hamling.[4]
After five issues, the title was changed to Marvel Tales; at the same time the number of stories advertised as "passionate" or containing "sin-lost" or "lust-crazed" characters sharply increased. Though some of the stories contained little to match the titillating blurbs, there were some that did, with "women entrapped, burned and otherwise maltreated, and whips cracking into use with uninventive frequency", according to sf historian Joseph Marchesani.[3] The magazine ceased publication with the April 1941 issue, but in 1950 the Goodmans saw an opportunity to revive it when a new boom in science fiction magazines got under way. Erisman was still working for the Goodmans, and was listed as editorial director of the new version of the magazine, but much of the editorial work was done by Daniel Keyes, who was credited as "Editorial Associate" on the 1951 issues. The first issue of the new incarnation of Marvel Science Stories was dated November 1950. After two issues Erisman switched the magazine to a digest format, but the final issue, dated May 1952, was once again a pulp.[3] The post-war issues contained stories by well-known writers, including Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov, Richard Matheson, William Tenn, Jack Vance, and Lester del Rey, but the stories were of only average quality. Erisman and Keyes were able to improve on the material published in the pre-war Marvel Tales, but the field had grown more sophisticated since those days, and the writers who sold to Marvel Tales were now publishing their best work elsewhere.[3][5]
Bibliographic details[edit]
|Issues of Marvel Science Stories, showing volume and issue numbers. The editor was
Robert O. Erisman throughout.
There were nine issues in the first sequence, in one volume of six numbers and a second volume of three numbers. All issues in the first run were in pulp format and were priced at 15 cents. The first four issues were 128 pages; the next five were 112 pages. The title was Marvel Science Stories for five issues, then Marvel Tales for two issues, and then Marvel Stories for the last two issues of the first run. The publisher for the first series was listed as Postal Publications of Chicago for the first four issues, and as Western Publishing of New York and Chicago; in both cases the owner was Martin and Abraham Goodman. The intended schedule was bimonthly but this was never achieved. The editor was Robert O. Erisman.[3]
The second incarnation of the magazine lasted for six issues on a more regular quarterly schedule, starting in November 1950. The price was 25 cents and the page count was 128 pages for all six issues; the first two issues and last issue of this sequence were in pulp format, and the three from May 1951 to November 1951 were in digest format. The title returned to Marvel Science Stories for the first three issues of this series, and to Marvel Science Fiction for the last three issues. The publisher was listed as Stadium Publishing of New York; as with the first series Martin and Abraham Goodman were the owners.[3]
There was a British reprint of the February 1951 issue, published by Thorpe & Porter and dated May 1951. Science fiction bibliographer Brad Day lists five other British reprints of the second series of Marvel Science Stories, but no copies are recorded by more recent bibliographers.[3] In 1977 the Goodmans launched a digest science fiction magazine titled Skyworlds, which has been described by Mike Ashley as "without any shadow of a doubt, the worst" of the 1970s crop of science fiction magazines; the fiction it contained was almost entirely reprinted from the second series of Marvel Science Stories.[6]

Product Description
"I haven't had such a good read in the subgenre since I was cutting my teeth on Heinlein and Poul Anderson and the like!"--Katherine Kurtz
Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
By Honor Betray'D
OUT ON the farthest edge of Gyfferan-controlled space, the texture of the universe stretched and altered. Like a shadow against the stars, the flattened black teardrop shape of a Deathwing raider emerged from hyperspace. Minutes later a second ship appeared. This one displayed the bright colors and needle-sharp outline of a Space Force surface-to-hyperspace courier. Together, the mismatched pair began their realspace run toward the heart of the Gyfferan system.
On board Night's-Beautiful-Daughter--for so the Deathwing's log recordings had named the Magebuilt vessel--Mistress Llannat Hyfid wandered about the empty corridors, trying in vain to escape her own increasing inner tension.
Llannat was a small woman, dark-haired and brown-skinned, and her appearance these days implied enough contradictions to make anyone tense. She wore the black broadcloth tunic and trousers that were an Adept's formal garb; but her boots were Space Force standard issue, and instead of an Adept's plain wooden staff she carried the short,silver-bound ebony rod that was a Magelord's weapon and badge of rank. The crew members on board the Deathwing avoided her as much as possible, out of a respect that verged on superstitious awe.
The clothes and the staff don't help even a little with the main problem, she thought glumly. Her wanderings had taken her to the ship's galley, where the smell of fresh cha'a emanated from a bulky, squarish urn. We've got to make it to Gyffer without getting blown up by system defenses programmed to fire on "nervous."
Llannat had given the order for the hyperspace transit herself. At least, everybody else on board the Deathwing said that she had given it. She didn't recall doing any such thing; she'd been deep in a trance at the time, observing the structure of the universe through a Magelord's eyes.
And now I've got the whole damned crew looking at me' like they expect me to go crazy or work a miracle, or maybe both at once ... .
She abandoned her search for a mug and pressed the heels of her hands against her temples.
"I have a headache," she said aloud.
Her words sounded flat and dull against the echo-absorbent walls of the Deathwing's galley. She saw a movement in the doorway: Lieutenant Vinhalyn, Space Force reservist and scholar of Mageworlds language and culture, the acting captain of Night's-Beautiful-Daughter.
"We brought the emergency medikit over from Naversey," Vinhalyn said. "There may be something in there that can help you out."
"I don't think so. It's not that kind of an ache."
"If you're sure ..."
"I'm sure," she told him. "I'm a medic, remember?"
The expression on his face made it plain that he hadn't, in fact, remembered. Llannat shook her head, resigned.
"Never mind," she said. "I have trouble remembering it myself sometimes. Believe me, life was a whole lot easier when I was just Ensign Hyfid of the Space Force Medical Service."
Of course, that was before I started hearing voices thatweren't there and seeing things that hadn't happened yet and coming loose from my body while I was drifting off to sleep at night. Nobody asked me if I wanted all of that, but I got it anyway ... and the next thing I knew, there I was on a mountaintop on Galcen, with Master Ransome himself asking me if I wanted to join the Guild and be an Adept.
Llannat sighed. And like a fool, I said yes.
Vinhalyn looked at her. The scholar-reservist was an older man whose active service dated back to the end of the First Magewar, and he deferred to Llannat as he had to the Adepts of those earlier days. "If there's anything I can do to help ..."
"Not really," she said. "But thanks. Let me know when we make contact with Gyfferan Inspace Control."
Vinhalyn nodded and left.
Llannat watched him go, then went back to looking for a cup. When she found one, on a shelf where a half-dozen of the standard-issue plastic mugs from Naversey stood among the Deathwing's shorter, rounder ones, she poured herself some cha'a from the galley urn. What sort of hot drink the Mageworlders had brewed in the big metal pot she didn't know--maybe Vinhalyn did; she'd have to ask him about it sometime--but the Daughter's current crew had managed to adapt the filtration setup to produce cha'a of hair-curling strength.
She sipped at the steaming liquid. The Professor would have known what they used to brew on board the old Deathwings, she thought. He probably drank enough of it in his day.
"What's this 'probably' nonsense?" she muttered to herself. "The Prof owned this ship, galley and all."
He hadn't just owned it; that was the problem. The Professor--whose true name she had never learned, and doubted that anyone living had ever heard--had been a Magelord himself before he abandoned sorcery and gave his oath to the ruling House of Entibor. What kept Llannat Hyfid awake during the night and made her pace the ship's corridors during the day was knowing that the Professor had intended Night's-Beautiful-Daughter for her.
First his staff, she thought. Then his ship. What other little bequests does he have for me that I haven't found yet?
The original legacy had come to Llannat blamelessly enough. She'd lost her own staff in the fighting on Darvell, the same day the Professor had died, and Beka Rosselin-Metadi--in an impatient, almost unthinking gesture--had given her the dead man's staff as a replacement. Master Ransome, who hated the Magelords as he hated nothing else in the civilized galaxy, wasn't likely to be pleased with Llannat if he ever found out. In the end, however, an Adept's choice of staff was a personal decision. Not even the Master of the Guild could force her to alter it.
The ship was something else again. The Professor had emptied Night's-Beautiful-Daughter to vacuum and left her to drift. When the derelict raider turned up in the Mageworlds Border Zone, the pilot and copilot were still on board--five hundred years after the Professor had cut their throats and left Llannat Hyfid a message written in their blood.
"Adept from the forest world: bring this message to She-who-leads ... ."
Those were the words as Llannat remembered them, from the waking dream in which she had relived the Professor's deed. Lieutenant Vinhalyn, however, had translated the blood-scrawled characters somewhat differently: "Find the Domina."
But the Domina was dead.
"Domina of Entibor," said Beka Rosselin-Metadi. She jerked the twisted iron tiara out of her hair and threw it across the room onto the rumpled bedsheets. On Suivi Point appearances were everything; the acting government of Entibor-in-Exile kept its front office ready for official visitors, even early and unexpected ones, by throwing all the clutter into the living quarters at the back. "Leader of the Second Resistance. Hope of the Galaxy. It stinks like a load of rotten fish guts."
"Gently, Captain," Nyls Jessan advised. Beka's copilot and number-one gunner was lean and fair-haired, with greyeyes and pleasant, if ordinary, features. He smiled at her. "Gently. When did you ever smell rotten fish guts, anyway?"
"Sapne, in the main port-market. I told you the place was a pestilential sinkhole, remember?"
"I remember." Jessan moved up behind her and began taking the pins out of her long yellow hair. "If you're thinking about Tarveet of Pleyver, the comparison is certainly apt. But you don't have to like him--"
"I know, I know," said Beka, as the intertwined plaits came free and fell down one by one. "'Just work with him.' Mother used to say the same thing."
Jessan kept on unbraiding her hair; his fingers moved warmly against her neck, making it hard for her to concentrate. With an effort, she gathered her thoughts and went on.
"How did Tarveet get to Suivi Point, anyway? Why the hell couldn't the Mages have snapped him up on Galcen along with the rest of the Grand Council?"
"That would have been nice," agreed Jessan. "I suspect that the esteemed councillor was already here visiting his money when everything fell apart."
"Taking some cash out for a walk, more likely." Beka frowned. "I wonder who he was planning to buy with it."
"Before the Mageworlds invaded? He could have been after almost anybody." Jessan paused, and his hands came to rest lightly on Beka's shoulders. She leaned back against him; his breath caught for a second before he continued, "At least now he's willing to give some of it to us."
"And we can't afford to be choosy." She sighed. "I know. Tarveet needs a Resistance fleet to protect his investments for him, and we need all the backers we can get. But a fleet's the only thing his money is going to buy; I hope he isn't expecting me to come along with it."
She felt Jessan's grip tighten and then relax. "If the esteemed councillor from Pleyver makes that particular mistake," her copilot said, his High Khesatan accent more marked than usual, "then I will disabuse him of the notion."
"Poor Nyls." She shook her head. "I do believe that Tarveet managed to get under your skin."
"Well ... somewhat."
"'Somewhat.'" Beka turned to face Jessan. In spite of herself, she smiled. "You do a really good look of exquisite disdain, did you know that?"
"Just one of my many talents," he said.
"Ah." She regarded him thoughtfully. "You have others?"
"So I'm told."
"That's nice." Her finger traveled down his shirtfront, teasing open the fasteners along the way. "Tell me about them."
"I play an excellent hand of cards," he said. He reached out and undid the top button of the quilted jacket Beka wore to keep out the chilly air of the Suivan domes. "I'm a passable shot with a blaster ... a fair pilot ... and a good enough medic in most cases to keep my patients breathing."
He undid the other buttons one by one as he spoke. Beka shivered. She had dressed in haste that morning--after Tarveet's comm call had pulled her out of bed cursing--and wore nothing beneath the jacket except her bare skin.
"You never learned all those on Khesat," she said.
"Only the cards," he told her. "My acquaintances back home considered me a shamefully unaccomplished fellow."
"Foolish of them." She took a step closer, and rested one hand on his chest where the shirt fell open. "Didn't you learn anything else on Khesat?"
He slipped his hands around her waist under the open jacket, and bent his head to lick gently at the hollow of her throat. "One or two things, before I left."
Beka laughed again, and pressed harder against him. "I thought so," she said. "Tell me."
"Oh, flute-playing, flower arrangement ..." His mouth traveled further downward. " ... frivolous versification ... and the finer points of ..."
The comm link on the bedside table sounded--a piercing squeal, far different from its usual restrained beeping. Jessan didn't look up. The comm link sounded again.
"Hell." Beka pulled a hand free and picked up the link. "That's Warhammer's private signal. Something's wrong atthe spacedocks." She keyed on the link. "Rosselin-Metadi here."
"LeSoit here, Captain." Warhammer's number-two gunner sounded agitated about something. "I think you'd better come out to the ship."
By now Jessan had worked his way down past her collarbone. She mastered her breathing with some difficulty and said over the link, "Can it wait?"
"I don't really think it can, Captain."
She bit her lip. "All right. I'll be there in a few minutes. Rosselin-Metadi, out."
Beka keyed off the link. Jessan stopped his downward explorations and stood for a moment with his head pressed against her neck.
Then he sighed and stepped away. "Duty calls."
"Duty has a rotten sense of humor." Beka was already buttoning up the quilted jacket. That done, she pulled a fastener out of one pocket and gathered her hair into a loose tail down her back. Redoing the formal braids would take more time than she wanted to spare. "Hand me that damned tiara, and let's go see what's got Ignac' buzzing us on the private code."
In Namport, in a windowless room above Freling's Bar, a young woman slept with her back against a locked door. She moved restlessly in her sleep, then lay still for a few seconds, opened her eyes, and sat up.
Klea Santreny was thin and small-boned, with a tangle of curly, light brown hair; she would have seemed more girl than woman still, at twenty Standard years, except that working for Freling was no way to stay young. Her grey eyes had shadows under them like bruises, and cheap bangle bracelets on her left wrist hid the old, pale scars beneath.
She had fallen asleep on the coarse-piled carpet, with her day-pack tucked underneath her head for a pillow. Her Adept's staff, a piece of iron-hard grrch wood that had begun its career as a broomstick, lay on the floor beside her. A few feet away, in the center of the room, a tawny-haired young man in a beige coverall was moving through the sequencesof what looked at first sight to be a slow, graceful dance. He held a plain staff of blond wood in both hands.
Klea drew her knees up and sat for a while watching him. The last time she'd seen Owen--that was all the name she had for him, though she knew he had a family somewhere on Mage-occupied Galcen--he'd been lying on the room's only bed. His body had been bruised and swollen, and there had been blood on his face and his clothes. But now the marks of ill-usage were gone, and he moved easily, without flinching.
She wondered where he'd been and what he'd done. And how he'd done it; he hadn't brought the staff into the locked room with him, any more than he'd brought those transitory bruises. "Going out of body," Owen had called it, when he first told her what he needed to do. As far as she could tell, he hadn't left the room to do it.
He finished the sequence and turned toward her, his attention seeming to come back from concentration on something not visible in the here-and-now. Hazel eyes regarded Klea with a thoughtful, measuring expression.
"I should have thanked you before," he said.
She looked down and away, toward the corner of the room where the ugly carpet met the peeling mirror on the long wall opposite the bed. "You don't need to do that. The room's yours until morning--you paid for it."
"I'd never have gotten in here if you hadn't brought me." He frowned. "And this is not a place you should have had to come back to."
"It's not so bad," Klea said. Gratitude wasn't something she'd encountered much of, and she wasn't certain how she felt about it.
"Don't lie," Owen said. "You're not one of Freling's hookers any longer. You're an apprentice to the Guild."
She snorted. "And your teacher's going to have fits when he finds out what sort of riffraff you've let in."
His expression changed from faint reproof to something she couldn't name. "Master Ransome doesn't have anything to say about it anymore."
"He's dead?"
"No," said Owen. "I'm no longer bound to him."
"What happened?"
"I asked him for an end to my apprenticeship."
Getting straight facts out of Owen, Klea reflected, was worse than pulling out mud-thorns. Persistence was the one tactic that sometimes worked. "So--did he give it to you?"
"He said I already had it. What he gave me ..." Owen paused. "He gave me Mastery over the whole Guild."
Klea jerked her head up, startled. "He did what?"
"He can't fight the Magelords any longer," Owen said. "They have him prisoner--on one of their ships, I think, orbiting Galcen. When I came to him there--"
She stared at him. "You went ... 'out of body,' did you call it ... all the way to Galcen?"
Owen nodded. "It was necessary. When I found Master Ransome, he told me that if I wanted to serve the Guild, I would have to claim the Mastery of it."
"So you did."
"Yes." The corners of his mouth quirked briefly upward. "Granted, nobody knows about the change except for Master Ransome and me--and you, of course--which is going to make asserting my authority somewhat difficult."
"Uh ... yeah." Klea shook her head, bemused. "So what are you supposed to do with this authority once you assert it?"
"Defeat the Magelords," he said. "Restore the Guild."
"All by yourself?"
"No," he said. "You're going to help."
Suivi Point proper--the original settlement, and not the myriad smaller habitats strung out along the Suivan Belt--spread across its main asteroid beneath a series of transparent domes. Over the years, full climate control and artificial gravity had come to most of the residential and business areas, though not to the low-rent districts on the fringes or to the warren of interconnected tunnels and caverns hollowed out of Suivi's inner depths.
The spacedocks were located well away from the better part of town, behind an impressive series of airtight checkpoints,partly to lessen the risk of accidents from ships coming in and leaving--"but mostly," Beka said to Jessan as they walked along one of the dockbound glidewalks, "they want to keep the scum and riffraff confined to the port quarter as much as possible. The first thing a free-spacer learns about Suivi Point is that the people who keep their money here don't want anything to do with the folks who help them make it."
The glidewalk slid into an interchange where several of the routes peeled away and others joined the main stem. Overhead, a lighted holosign flashed its crimson letters on and off: DINING AND ENTERTAINMENT/PORT ALLEY--SECOND STREET/NEXT LEFT; MAIN DOCKING/NEXT RIGHT; LAST EXITS/ FORWARD THIS WALK.
Jessan glanced up at the sign. "'Last Exits'? What have we got there--mortuary services?"
"Not exactly," Beka said.
"What do you mean, 'not exactly'?"
"Well ... some of the higher-class firms do include final disposition in their package deals."
"Package deals," said Jessan. "Packages of what?"
Beka's lips twitched in a humorless smile. "Executions. Formal, semiformal, or impromptu, all nice and legal."
"How charming."
"This is Suivi Point, remember--if you can't buy it here, it's not for sale anywhere."
Jessan looked curious. "I suppose you have to buy a trial and a conviction first?"
"It helps."
A little farther on, the glidewalk for Main Docking split off the primary track. The stores alongside changed from gaudy souvenir shops to cheap eating establishments and grim-looking transient hotels. Sealed airlocks broke the graffiti-stained walls at irregular intervals.
Beka pointed at one of the locks. It had a sign stenciled on the hatch: CAUTION! P-SUIT AREA. NO GRAVITY OR ATMOSPHERE BEYOND THIS POINT.
"You have to watch those. Sometimes the portside kids take the warning signs down for laughs."
"I'll bear that in mind," Jessan told her. "Along with all the other quaint local customs."
Beka chuckled. "Not the sort of place the group tours from Khesat make a habit of visiting, I suppose."
"I have never," said Jessan, "traveled anywhere with a group tour. And while the Space Force, in its infinite wisdom, sent me to a number of fascinating places, Suivi Point wasn't one of them."
"Lucky you. I got Suivi Point for my very first port call after I left home. It was a real eye-opener, let me tell you--if Ignac' hadn't been looking after me that time, I might never have made it back to the ship."
"Then I owe Gentlesir LeSoit a debt of gratitude," Jessan said with a marked lack of enthusiasm, as they followed a smaller glidewalk off the main branch. "Remind me to pay it back to him someday."
They stopped in front of an airlock door with a security palmplate set into the hatch. Beka put her hand on the plate; it beeped, and the synthesized voice of the door's annunciator said, "ID scan confirmed. Docking bay atmospheric integrity confirmed."
"Good," said Beka. "I'd hate to think that somebody had let all our air out while we were gone. That happened to the Claw Hard once, while I was crewing on her," she went on while the lock cycled them through. "Captain Osa didn't want to put up the nonrefundable one-week deposit on the docking fee when we were only going to be here for two days. So the Port Authority depressurized our bay until he handed over the money."
"Somehow I'm not surprised," murmured Jessan.
Inside the docking bay, Warhammer rested on landing legs beneath the transparent dome. On the far side of the enclosed space another airlock, this one with its NO GRAVITY OR ATMOSPHERE warning still fresh and clean, led out to the asteroid's surface.
The 'Hammer's ramp was down, but the force field was up. It took Beka's hand on another ID panel to turn off the field so that she and Jessan could pass through.
An unfamiliar p-suit hung in the open locker inside the 'Hammer's door. Beka and Jessan glanced at each other.
"Looks like our problem is a visitor," Jessan said.
"Not to mention somebody Ignac' doesn't think he can handle all on his lonesome," Beka said. "Which means that shooting him, her, or it won't be an option for us, either."
"It's always possible that they mean us no ill will."
"Hah. Legit business shows up at the place in town, like our old buddy damn-him-for-interrupting-breakfast Tarveet. We might as well go on into the common room and see who's there."
As she spoke, Beka checked the knife up her left sleeve. Maybe the Domina of Entibor-in-Exile couldn't get away with a tied-down blaster, but she was damned if she was going to walk around Suivi Point without a weapon or two for backup. And Jessan, for all his Khesatan elegance, had a single-shot needler concealed somewhere about his person, along with various other lethal surprises. If matters did come down to violence, they'd be ready.
She straightened the heavy tiara--without the formal structure of braids to anchor it, the famous Iron Crown of Entibor tended to slip askew--and stepped through the door into the common room. Jessan followed her, a step or two behind.
Two people waited at the common-room table. Ignaceu LeSoit, dark and wiry, with his thin mustache and his well-worn blaster, was a familiar sight. The woman was a stranger, dark-haired, her face creased with worry lines, but she wore the uniform of the Republic's Space Force and the insignia of a full captain. She rose and bowed when Beka entered.
"My lady," she said. "Please forgive this irregular method of securing an audience--but I needed to meet with you, away from the eyes and ears of the local authorities."
Oh, wonderful, thought Beka. More politics, and it isn't even lunch yet. "I haven't got the time for diplomatic games. What do you need?"
The Space Force captain glanced from Beka to Jessan and back. "I have reason to believe," she said, "that theSteering Committee of Suivi Point wishes to commandeer my forces. In fact, I suspect that the committee's messenger is looking for me right now. Regardless of the situation on Galcen, I don't want to swear allegiance to Suivi Point, or to have my ships taken from my command."
I don't blame her one little bit, Beka thought. Let those bastards on the committee get a fleet of their own, and it'll be hurray for Suivi Point and to hell with the rest of us.
She did her best to keep her features schooled to an expression of mild interest, as if they were discussing nothing more pressing than the allocation of tax levies for glidewalk repair. "So what do you want from me?"
The captain paused. This was not, it seemed, a decision she had come to easily. "Domina," she said, "we--myself and those under me--wish to swear ourselves formally to you ... ."
I don't believe this, Beka thought. Nobody's bothered with all that oath-of-fealty nonsense since before I was born.
She kept her face impassive. The Space Force captain was still talking.
" ... with the understanding that you not require us to oppose the Republic's Space Force or to act against the Republic's interests, and that you will release us from our oath once the present situation normalizes."
Beka drew a deep breath. "Is that all?"
"Yes, Domina," said the captain. "All I ask is that you put me and my detachment under your protection."
"All?" she asked. "Sounds like a great deal for you with not much in it for me."
"I'm afraid so, my lady. I can only hope that you'll be generous."
"Generous," said Beka. "Right. Hang on for a moment while I confer with my advisors."
She didn't wait for the captain's reply, but nodded to LeSoit and Jessan and swept out of the common room in her most regal manner. The Iron Crown, fortunately, didn't slip until she was out of sight around the bend in the passageway that led to the engineering spaces.
"Well," she said, as soon as they had a solid bulkheadand a closed door between them and the Space Force captain. "What do you think?"
"It is a chance to increase the size of the fleet," LeSoit pointed out.
"To more than one vessel. Yes, that's a start. Jessan, what's the Space Force got here?"
Jessan sighed. "Small stuff ... space-only, no ground presence ... I don't know anything more specific than that. I've been out of the loop for over a year now, remember?"
"Then get back into it," she told him. "I want to know what's in port, what's coming in, what's going out. This is important. Find out. I'll wait."
LeSoit was looking smug. "Captain Yevil's detachment consists of one destroyer, two fast couriers, a hyperspace-capable transport, and a half-dozen local defense single-seat fighters. Of those six, only three are fully operational."
The 'Hammer's number-two gunner leaned back against the bulkhead and favored Jessan with a bland smile. The Khesatan's lips tightened, but he didn't reply.
Beka took a deep breath and ignored the byplay. "Opinions on the cost to us of taking the captain up on her offer?"
Jessan shrugged. "We might annoy the local authorities."
"I can live with that. How about her conditions?"
"Not unreasonable, considering the situation."
She nodded. "Fine. Jessan, you're now officially the General of the Armies of Entibor. She's under your command. Don't disappoint me."
Beka looked at her little group. "Well, let's go back in there and accept the captain's oath. This is starting to shape up into an interesting day."

By Honor Betray'd is the third novel written in the original Mageworlds trilogy. At this time, however, it is the sixth of the series in internal chronological sequence, following Starpilot's Grave. In the previous book, the Magelords have taken Galcen, the marines have joined Jos Metada, Commodore Jervas Gil has pulled together the Mageworlds fleet at Ophel, Ari Rosselin-Metada has fled Admiral Vallant to Gyffer, Llannat Hyfid has brought her motley crew and the deathwing Night's-Beautiful-Daughter to Gyffer, and Beka Rosselin-Metada has declared herself as the new Domina of Lost Entibor and the focal point of the resistance. Moreover, Owen Rosselin-Metada has found Errec Ransome imprisoned by the Mages, has proven his mastery, and has to been told to retrieve his staff and claim the Guild Mastership.
In this novel, Grand Admiral Theio syn-Ricte sus-Airaalin tries to break Errec's defenses, but fails. At Gyffer, Ari and Llannat join with local defense forces against Admiral Vallant and the Mages. Within Infabede sector, Jos captures warships from Vallant and decides to attack Galcen. At Suivi Point, Beka incorporates the local RSF squadron into the resistance fleet, Tarveet of Pleyver takes out a treason contract against her, and Ignaceu LeSoit breaks several regulations, and the docks, getting Warhammer away from Contract Security. On Nammerin, Owen and his apprentice, Klea Santreny, take ship to Pleyver to fight Mages. At Waycross on Innish-Kyl, Commodore Gil negotiates with former privateers to form a fleet around his three capital ships.
The Grand Admiral knows that he has a little cleaning up to do, but believes that the war is almost won. However, the resistance is gathering. All these forces, Republic and Mage, are converging on Gyffer. Should be a slam-bang fight.Read more ›

This volume brings the original Mageworlds trilogy to a resounding conclusion, and forces the characters (and hopefully the reader as well) to re-examine their pre-existing assumptions. Maybe the Mages aren't the practicioners of dark sorcery that the Republic has always considered them -- far from it, they have a system of practices as firmly bounded by morals and ethics as those of the Adepts, even if those morals and ethics, and the paradigm of the universe that underlies them, is somewhat different. And certainly the methods the Republic used at the close of the First Magewar a generation earlier -- namely the brutal suppression of Mage Circles and the reduction of the homeworlds to extreme poverty -- did not secure long-term peace. To attain more than a temporary victory, they must be ready to think in new ways about what they are trying to accomplish.
The Mageworlds trilogy can be read at one level as a space opera with lots of slam-bang battles and wild adventures. At the same time, they can also be read as a philosophical exploration of the nature of cultural misunderstanding.

The grand finale; still more surprising twists, and I love the ending (which I won't spoil for you, but trust me, it'll make you go, "I saw that coming," and "Wha??" at the same time;) Also, you get to see a more vulnerable side to Owen for a change, which makes him seem more human, more understandable. In the end, I couldn't help but love most of the characters, including the villains!

This book has everything to be a space adventure, but it is far more than that. This is a classic combination of action and adventure with characters and plot. If I could think of a better book to tell you about I would. Quite simply, The Mageworlds is the best series I have ever read and I have read several thousand. If you want everything in a book, look no farther

Wildlife agents have put down a bear that was being fed, even petted, at a campground west of Glenwood Springs.
District wildlife manager Sonia Marzec says the agency wanted to make sure the bear didn't hurt anyone. Last weekend, a bear dragged eleven-year-old Sam Ives from his tent in Utah and mauled him to death.
Marzec said her staff had received reports of people feeding and petting the bear at Ami's Acres Campgrounds.
She said that, when approached by a wildlife officer, the bear didn't back off.
They staked out the area, and when it returned, the three- to four-year-old female was shot last night.

The Supreme Court ends its work Monday with the highest of drama: an anticipated retirement, a ruling on the constitutionality of government Ten Commandments displays and decisions in other major cases.
"There are a lot of local officials, a lot of state officials, who would like to put up these sorts of monuments," said CBS News Legal Analyst Andrew Cohen on CBS News' The Early Show. "Today the Supreme Court will give them guidance on whether they can and what they have to surround those monuments with if they're on public property."
Traditionally there is an air of suspense as the justices meet for the final time before breaking for three months. Justices usually wait until then to resolve blockbuster cases.
Added to that is the expectation that Chief Justice William Rehnquist is presiding over the court for the last time. Rehnquist has thyroid cancer and many court experts believe his retirement is imminent.
"There's enormous drama and anticipation. Is he going to announce his resignation? Are we going to spend this summer in a confirmation fight?" said Erwin Chemerinsky, a Duke law professor.
CBS News Correspondent Wyatt Andrews reports that the White House has already prepared a short list of possible successors who are all conservative and similar to Rehnquist.
"It will be fascinating to me if there is a vacancy to see what the president wants to do," Cohen told Early Show co-anchor Hannah Storm. "He can really pick a fight… Or does he do something that's going to generate more consolidation, more cooperation with the Senate, by going to a moderate conservative pick?"
Long lines have formed several hours before the court's recent sessions so people could get a seat in the packed courtroom. On Monday, the crowd will include supporters and opponents of Ten Commandments monuments. Supporters usually gather outside the court praying and singing hymns.
"It's a big day. History being made, that's a lot of what it's about," said Maureen Mahoney, a Washington lawyer and former Rehnquist law clerk.
Also expected are nine women in judicial robes who call themselves "Roe Rangers" to bring attention to uncertainty about the court's makeup and abortion rights.
Justices have a few cases left to resolve, including two of the most-watched of the term: the Ten Commandments appeals from Texas and Kentucky and a case that will determine the liability of Internet file-sharing services for clients' illegal swapping of songs and movies.
Also Monday, justices are expected to announce whether they will hear appeals from two journalists who may face jail time for refusing to reveal sources in the leak of an undercover CIA officer's identity.
Lawyers for Time magazine's Matthew Cooper and The New York Times' Judith Miller have asked the court to clarify protections reporters have in keeping sources confidential. The cases could not be heard until December.

Costochondritis (cont.)
What Are Causes and Risk Factors of Costochondritis?
Costochondritis is an inflammatory process. Nevertheless, it usually has no definite cause. Repeated minor trauma to the chest wall or viral respiratory infections can cause costochondritis. Occasionally, costochondritis as a result of bacterial infections can occur in people who use recreational IV drugs or who have had surgery to their upper chest. Costochondritis can also be a feature of relapsing polychondritis, reactive arthritis, fibromyalgia, and injury.
Different types of infectious diseases can cause costochondritis, although this is uncommon.
Costochondritis can also occur with certain forms of arthritis, such as ankylosing spondylitis and psoriatic arthritis, and is sometimes associated with breastbone pain (sternum pain) in these conditions. Costochondritis can occur in people with fibromyalgia.
