Indian Court Asks Essar Officials to Appear in Telecom Probe
An Indian court asked three officials of the Essar Group to appear before it on Jan. 27 as it probes charges linked to a 2008 sale of licenses to run mobile-phone services.
Special Judge O.P. Saini today admitted charges filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation this month against Essar's Vice Chairman Ravi Ruia and Directors Anshuman Ruia and Vikash Saraf for cheating and conspiring to provide incorrect information to the government while applying for permits.
The New Delhi court noted charges against the founders of Loop Telecom Ltd., Kiran Khaitan and her husband I.P. Khaitan, and summoned them for the same date. The CBI has said Essar used Loop as a front company to secure additional spectrum and licenses in contravention of telecommunications policy.
Former telecommunications minister Andimuthu Raja, a federal lawmaker, government officials and company executives are already on trial for conspiring to grant licenses to unqualified companies for personal benefit in 2008. The country's auditor says the first-come, first-served award of permits may have lowered government revenue by up to $31 billion. All those on trial deny wrongdoing.
Essar Teleholdings Ltd., Loop Telecom Ltd. and its unit Loop Mobile India Ltd., named as accused parties in the case, were also summoned by the judge. Essar denies the allegations against the company and its officials, saying the charges relate to the interpretation of a contractual clause.
Essar in a statement on Dec. 12 said it held only 2.15 percent in Loop at the time it applied for a license and did not violate the law.
The scandal surrounding the wireless sale has weakened Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's government, lowered investor confidence in the $1.7 trillion economy, stalled legislation and led to street protests.
With today's court decisions, 19 people and six companies stand accused of involvement in the alleged scandal.
Twelve of the people have been freed on bail as their trials continue. Those released include three executives of billionaire Anil Ambani's Reliance ADA Group and federal lawmaker Kanimozhi. Raja remains in custody in the capital's Tihar prison.

About Jeff Masters
Dr. Masters co-founded wunderground in 1995. He flew with the NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990. Co-blogging with him: Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 1:50 PM GMT on September 14, 2006
It's a typically active mid-September day in the Atlantic, with the first major hurricane of the year, Gordon, spinning out to sea, and a new tropical storm to watch, Helene. Neither of these storms are likely to affect land, and the long range 2-week GFS model forecast offers no hint of any future threats coming in the Atlantic. With hurricane season now more than half over, the seemingly radical notion that the worst storm of the season will end up being Ernesto is not so far-fetched. Still, there is another full month of peak hurricane season to go, and we still need to keep an eye on Helene, which could cause trouble.
The remains of Hurricane Florence gave Newfoundland a pounding yesterday, bringing hurricane force winds and 30-foot seas to the coast. One house was reported destroyed on an island off the coast, and there were scattered reports of power outages and flooding. The remains of Florence will continue across the Atlantic, and likely bring heavy rain and 40 mph wind gusts to Ireland on Sunday.
Gordon headed out to sea
Hurricane Gordon intensified into the first major hurricane of the season last night, but appears to be starting a slow decline in strength. Strong upper-level winds from the west are creating about 15 knots of wind shear over the storm, and helping stretch it into an east-west oriented oval shape. Wind shear over Gordon is expected to increase and the waters underneath it cool over the next few days. Gordon is headed northward out to sea, and is not a threat to land.
Figure 1. Latest satellite image of Gordon, updated every half hour.
Tropical Depression Eight got its act together enough last night to barely qualify as the eighth named storm of the season, Helene. Helene is very disorganized and has a large sloppy circulation center. A QuikSCAT satellite pass from this morning shows this broad center nicely, and reveals only a few patches of winds over 40 mph. As we saw with Florence, it can take many days for a weak tropical storm with a large circulation center to organize into a hurricane. Still, the waters under Helene are a warm 27-28C, the shear is a low 5-10 knots, and these favorable conditions for intensification are expected to persist for several days. Helene should be able to intensify into a hurricane by 3-4 days from now, and possibly into a major hurricane thereafter. Some dry air to its north and west may interfere with this intensification.
The computer track models have a wide spread in the track for Helene, but all of them take the storm north of the Lesser Antilles. While a long-range threat to Bermuda and the U.S. East Coast is still a possibility, the odds of this happening are low. History shows that the large majority of tropical storms that form in this part of the Atlantic end up recurving harmlessly out to sea. With the active jet stream pattern we've seen since early June expected to continue for at least the next two weeks, I expect that Helene will end up recurving out to sea east of Bermuda.
More trouble for Mexico
Tropical Storm Lane formed off the Pacific coast of Mexico yesterday, and this storm has the potential to be the most trouble of any storm discussed so far. Lane is expected to track parallel to the coast and threaten Baja, similar to what Hurricane John did earlier this month. Lane is over warm waters and under light shear, and and has the potential to become a hurricane by Friday. Lane probably does not have time to intensify into a major hurricane, but a Category 2 hurricane would not be a surprise.
The entire coast of Mexico affected by John is also at risk from Lane. The storm could move ashore on the mainland Mexico coast south of Puerto Vallarta, like the GFDL model is forecasting. The GFDL had the best performance of any of the computer models for John, so residents along the mainland Mexican coast should prepare for a possible direct hit by a Category 1 hurricane on Friday.
Moisture from Lane could potentially reach southern California and Arizona by Wednesday and cause flooding concerns there.
The rest of the tropical Atlantic
Thunderstorm activity is increasing today along a cold front stretching from Cape Hatteras, NC, to the waters east of Florida. This area will have to be watched the next two days for development. Shower activity associated with a tropical wave passing through Puerto Rico and the surrounding region have diminished, and development is unlikely here.
Fire tornado
Finally, I had to link this photo of a fire tornado taken by wunderphotographer Photo5150. Some fires are able to create such a strong updraft with their extreme heat that the air rushing in at the surface to replace the air lifted creates a fire tornado. This is definitely the most awesome photo of a fire tornado I've ever seen!

Cared-for Practice, Cared-for Patients: You Can't Have One without the Other
By: Andrew L. Schwartz, Esq.
Successful medical practices become so over time, often as a result of years of hard work and significant investment. Yet doctors, as business owners, may find they are missing appropriate business agreements and contractual arrangements, which address specific business concerns and protect the viability of their practices.
Every physician should keep in mind important business considerations when looking for office space, establishing and running a medical practice, hiring associate physicians or promoting a physician to shareholder, membership or partnership status. These considerations include:
To successfully manage a medical practice, physicians must have the necessary and appropriate legal documents to protect and sustain the practice's viability. These documents provide a blueprint for handling and avoiding disputes among business owners, as well as legal issues that may arise with employees and patients.
Andrew L. Schwartz is an attorney with Stein Sperling Bennett De Jong Driscoll PC, a Rockville, Maryland-based law firm with offices throughout the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area. Andrew handles matters related to corporate and business law, including commercial transactions and real estate matters. He also provides general corporate counseling and advice, entity structuring and formation; and services related to ownership, management and control; sale and transfer, and contracting. He gives speeches to groups of business owners on a variety of topics, such as business disputes, choice of business entity, including the use of limited liability companies, and practical and legal aspects of business succession planning.

Investors have beaten down precious metals prices even as economic signals suggest they should be moving up soon. Is this a rare buying opportunity?
Something curious is happening in the precious metals market.
Fundamentally, there couldn't be a better time to own gold and silver. But technically, the shiny stuff has just been hammered, inexplicably suffering a 1987-style plunge last month. Did a hedge fund blow up? Are policymakers pushing on prices to keep inflation expectations down? Are computer trading algorithms causing problems? We just don't know.
Now the question for investors is: Has the best buying opportunity we've seen in decades arrived even as most of the market focuses solely on stocks, or is gold a lost cause?
In fact, if the crash continues, gold's role as an important market signal points to two economic possibilities that would take many people by surprise.
Here's where I see gold headed and why.The basics favor gold
The core bullish argument in favor of nibbling on gold and silver at today's low prices lies in their value as an alternative store of purchasing power, given that currencies are being diluted at an unprecedented rate, financial markets are frothy and real-estate and farmland prices aren't exactly at rock-bottom levels. ...

Stunned St Clair Hot Salt Water Pool staff and about 100
swimmers couldn't believe what they were seeing, but swimmers
initially remained in the main pool after the laidback sea
lion decided to sun himself near the toddlers' pool. Everyone
left the water after the 1.5m animal took a dip
Department of Conservation conservation services manager
David Agnew said the sea lion arrived at the pool's entrance
in the morning and had a sleep.
"As the sun went around and it ended up in the shade it got
up to move and the [pool entrance] doors opened. It let
itself in."
The sea lion snoozed by the toddlers' pool before staff
removed a fence and Agnew used two hockey sticks to coax the
sea lion back to the ocean but it did not want to go, Agnew
The 28°C temperature clearly pleased the sea lion, used to a
chilly 14°C average in the ocean, he said.
The New Zealand sea lion species, which is critically
endangered, is known not to fear people. Agnew had moved
three or four from homes or roads, but not public pools, in
eight years. "They're curious and will come up to you. They
don't attack."
Crowds were eventually moved out of sight to "bore" the sea
lion out of the pool, Agnew said.
"We did it so it was more quiet and boring for it. It was
looking around and thinking 'where is everyone?'. So it made
its own way out, back through the double doors, through the
cafe and reception and through the next double doors."
Then the sea lion realised the fun was over - and it wanted
back into the pool complex, Agnew said.
"It was quite hard case. We had to lock the doors. It was
trying to get back in. It made a big mess with oil from its
flippers on the windows."
Sea lions are intelligent and it was possible, having enjoyed
its previous visit, it would return to the pool. Staff worked
late last night to clean the pools for reopening this
morning, but a fence would be put at the entrance to teach
the sea lion the pool was not for him.
"We have to think of a name so we can ask him to leave and
he'll listen," said acting manager Nicola Smith.

Public Transit
Downtown Bus Stopover and Multiuse Facility
On June 24, 2016, the SANDAG Board of Directors will consider adoption of a Resolution making findings that no further CEQA review of the proposed downtown Multiuse and Bus Stopover Facility project at Site A is required. The CEQA Appendix N Checklist and supporting technical appendices can be viewed at the following links:
Appendix A: Infill Consistency Matrix
Appendix B: Air Quality and Green House Gases Technical Analysis
Appendix C: Cultural Resources Technical Report
Appendix D: Geotechnical and Geologic Constraints Evaluation
Appendix E: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Study
Appendix F: Hydrology and Water Quality Evaluation
Appendix G: Noise and Vibration Impact Assessment
Appendix H: Traffic Impact Study
Appendix I: Height Limit Memorandum
The proposed bus stopover and multiuse facility would provide an off-street location in Downtown San Diego where transit vehicles can be parked for short periods between runs. In conjunction with the stopover, the facility could also provide future office space for SANDAG and other tenants as part of a mixed-use development project including office, retail, and residential space. This stopover is needed to maintain bus schedules and to provide a location where transit operators can rest at the start and conclusion of routes.
Project Location
As part of the planning process, SANDAG conducted an exhaustive search and identified five potential sites which could meet accommodate a stopover facility. A screening evaluation based on operational needs and minimizing impacts to surrounding neighborhoods identified two sites in Downtown San Diego's Civic Core as the most suitable for the facility. This part of downtown is currently zoned for government uses. The first potential site is on a block bounded by A Street, Union Street, B Street, and State Street. The second potential site is bounded by A Street, Front Street, B Street, and Union Street.
For information on the proposed locations, see the fact sheet.
Project Need
The goal of the stopover is to provide a permanent off-street location for buses to park between runs, to establish a central location for driver breaks, and to free up on-street parking spaces and preserve existing ones. The project would accommodate existing local bus routes and Rapid services that currently park on the street in western downtown, thereby making more on-street parking available to residents and businesses. The potential multiuse concept for the facility is based on the goal of reducing SANDAG office costs and providing a Transit Oriented Development (TOD) including residential and retail components.
For information on project features, see the fact sheet.
Project Status
SANDAG is conducting due diligence on the two proposed sites and will present the results of this effort to the SANDAG Board of Directors in 2016.
Project Costs
Approximately $16 million has been allocated to the project from TransNet, the voter approved half-cent sales tax for transportation projects administered by SANDAG.

We (6 persons ) stayed only one night in this hotel (in 3 rooms) on our way further, but our impression was quite good. The only problem I had was the bathroom for the disabled in the accessible room which I got (I use a wheelchair) - the toilet was definitely too high (they evidently used different norms), the washing sink faucet (tap) was broken, the shower head was too high to remove and replace for a disabled person, there was no shower curtain.
We liked the artwork decoration, and the little "library" in the lobby. The breakfast was very good.

Author's Note: Here it is! The first part of the story! It's the prologue and chapter one all rolled in together. I would like to thank everyone who sent in a character for the story. Here's the deal: I decided that I would attempt to use every character I got, just not all of them are going to be blended with pokemon and will probably show up later in the story. Anyway, here are the people who made the main character rolls:
Kyle, provided by Dark Link (who is also an author under that name. Go read his stories!)
Val, provided by She-Who-Must-No-Be-Named (another author. Go read her stuff, that is, when you're finished with mine) Also, I still need to e-mail you about your character, so if you could tell me your e-mail address or send me one, I would greatly appreciate it.
Sarena Surge, provided by Alana3355
Emery, provided by I Love James! (also an author. Be a pal and read her stuff)
Indigo, provided by Pikajenn (author of several extraordinary stories. Go. Read.)
Lani, provided by Wind (the author, not the element. Read her stuff or I'll send The Reaper after you)
And speaking of which, The Reaper is the main reason this is rated PG-13. Just so you know, none of the scenes involving him are going to be pretty, so let the faint of heart beware. He may even push the rating up to R in later parts. Okay, I'm babbling, so I'll stop now and let you enjoy the beginning of the story…right after the disclaimer.
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon. All I own are some beef tacos that have been sitting in the fridge for a week, and you can have them if you decide to sue me. Go ahead, they're all yours. However, I own the characters of Varia and The Reaper, so don't take them or I'll be the one claiming your week-old tacos. Also, all original characters belong to the people who created them, as listed above. Don't take them, either.
The End of the Road—Prologue
The girl glanced around the office nervously. It was too dark and shadowy for her tastes, but she wasn't about to say so. She allowed herself a quick glance at the man behind the desk. He was looking at the application she had just filled out. If everything went well, she'd be calling this guy "boss" by the end of the day.
The man finally looked up from the paperwork. His face was somewhat obscured by the shadows, but she could see his icy eyes quite clearly. It was almost eerie the way he looked at her. His gaze certainly didn't help her relax.
"Is there some reason you didn't put your full name on the application?" he asked.
"Um…I did," the girl answered.
"You didn't put a last name."
"I don't have one."
"And why not?"
She had hoped he wouldn't ask about that. Now her job opportunity was in serious jeopardy. After a short pause, she said, "I don't have a family."
"Yeah. I've been on my own for as long as I can remember."
The man flipped through the papers. "So you have no family, no permanent home, and you're only twelve. You expect me to hire you with these kinds of problems?"
"They aren't problems!" she argued. "I do fine enough by myself. And it's not like I don't have any skills for the job. I'm great at dealing with pokemon. I can catch wild ones without even using a pokeball, I tame them myself, and I can even take care of them if they get sick or hurt."
"And just how did you get so good with pokemon?"
"I…well, I don't really like to talk about it," the girl said, shifting her gaze to her feet. "People think I'm some sort of freak or something, or that I'm lying."
"I still want to know," the man told her, setting the papers down on the desk. He leaned forward and rested his chin on his clasped hands. The movement was almost as threatening as if he had pulled a gun on her. The girl gulped and continued to look at her feet.
"Well, ever since I was little I've always…um…been able to talk to pokemon."
"Yeah, and not like other people. I can actually understand what they're saying. It doesn't matter if they're wild or tame, if they're mine or someone else's." The girl dared to look up at the man. He was reclining in his chair again. He seemed to be thinking things over. There was a long pause.
"You're hired," he said simply.
The girl blinked. "Really? Oh, thank you! I swear, I'll do the best job ever! You'll never have to worry about a pokemon being unruly or sick or anything!"
"You start tomorrow. And from now on, you will stay at The End of the Road. It's a motel I own near the gym. All expenses will be paid by the gym."
The girl's eyes nearly popped out of her head. She smiled broadly, thanked him several more times, then left the room practically skipping. The man watched her go with an intense interest.
"Welcome to the team, Varia," he said quietly.
Chapter 1—Crossing Paths
Varia smacked her alarm clock angrily as it went off, knocking it to the floor. With a groan, she hauled herself out of bed and staggered off to the bathroom. In an attempt to wake herself up a little more, Varia splashed cold water on her face. It helped a little, but what really woke the girl up was her reflection in the mirror.
"Good lord! I look like the freaking bride of Frankenstein!" she shrieked at the reflection. Varia grabbed a brush off the counter and forced her black hair to look more presentable. After a few minutes, she finally had it just the way she liked it: cascading down to her mid-back.
"That works," she said to myself. Varia set about getting ready for work after that. she brushed her teeth and pulled some clothes out of the dresser. She wore her normal outfit, which consisted of a black shirt that barely exposed her midriff and loose-fitting jeans. The teenager also pinned a leaf-shaped Earth Badge on her shirt to show she was allowed in the gym. After tossing on her clothes, Varia was soon out the door, jogging the few blocks to the Viridian Gym.
Varia had lived in Viridian for her whole eighteen years of life, and worked at the gym for the last six years. It was a pretty decent job. She got paid really well and didn't have to deal with people very often. She mostly took care of the pokemon the gym leader kept. It was a perfect job for the girl, considering how little she liked interacting with people. It probably had something to do with her childhood, Varia guessed. Having no parents, and very few people she could talk to, Varia just sort of turned out antisocial. She only really felt comfortable around pokemon. The girl even had a few of her own: a Charizard, a Ninetails, and a Rapidash. Varia preferred fire types to other types mostly because they had the most personality. Fire types always had an opinion about everything. She could barely get a word in edgewise when they were discussing something they felt strongly about.
That was another trait she'd had since she was young. She had always been able to talk to pokemon, whether they were her own, another trainer's, or wild. Not many people knew about the talent, just the gym leader and herself. Varia had told him about it when she applied for the job, hoping it would increase her chances of getting hired. Naturally, it did. It even overrode her lack of family, and got her a room at a small motel, courtesy of the gym leader. He seemed like a pretty nice guy, in her opinion.
Varia cut her musings short when she reached the gym. The girl waved to the guards as she entered the building. They just gave her curt nods, which was all she expected from them.
The gym was dark as usual. The gym leader really had a thing for shadows or something. Varia didn't know why since she never asked. She just strode across the gym floor and took the elevator at the back of the room down to the basement. That was where all the pokemon were kept when they weren't fighting. The gym leader had a ton of pokemon. Varia guessed he was an avid collector or something. He had just about every species known, including those newly discovered pokemon found in the west.
The teenager tended to the battling pokemon first. With this being a ground type gym, the gym leader was only allowed to use certain pokemon from his collection. She stopped at the cage for Nidoking and Nidoqueen. They were a mated pair, so they lived together.
"Hey, you two, how's it going?" Varia asked casually. They responded with pokemon grunts and growls.
"Nido ni, nidoking." We're fine, thanks.
"Queen nidoqueen!" Aren't you sweet for asking!
"Need anything special?" Varia asked as she poured food into their bowls.
"Nothing today. It's been pretty calm lately," Nidoking told her.
"Yes," Nidoqueen chimed in, "there haven't been many battles lately. Our master has been out of town for some time, now."
"Geez, just how much traveling does a gym leader need to do?" the girl commented. He always seemed to be off somewhere else. He barely had time to run the gym.
After a brief conversation with Nidoking and Nidoqueen about their master's whereabouts, Varia set off to feed the other pokemon. She worked her way to the back of the room. She was pouring some food into a small Eevee's cage when Varia thought she heard something. The girl jumped up to her feet, expecting to see a pokemon thief sneaking around. Instead, there was nothing there. Varia looked around slowly. Her gaze settled on a large door at the back of the room. She had seen that door before, but she'd never been in that room. The gym leader told her that there were no pokemon she needed to care for in there, so she just left it alone. Now Varia was almost sure that the noise she had heard had come from behind that door. She slowly walked towards it, trying to stay as quiet as possible. When she was close enough, Varia pressed her ear against the door. She could almost make out something. It sounded like mechanical noises, so the girl guessed it was just some hydraulics for the gym. She shrugged and walked away.
I know you. I can feel you. Come back to me.
"What the hell?!" Varia shrieked. Something had just said that to her, she was sure of it. But there was no one there. The place was empty, except for the pokemon. Varia frowned, but pushed the weird experience out of her mind. Hopefully, she thought to herself, there wouldn't be anymore weird incidents like that today. Varia liked her predictable little schedule. It was a well-worn road for her.
But that's the problem with roads, she supposed. No matter how long they are, they have to end somewhere.
Varia blinked. She didn't know where that thought had come from. It just kind of popped into her mind. With a shake of her head, the girl set about finishing up her chores with the pokemon. She fed the rest of the fighting pokemon, then the others. She cleaned out their cages and made small talk with some of them. By the time Varia was finished, it was noon. So, after saying goodbye to the pokemon, she left the gym and walked across the street to a small restaurant. There were tons of places to eat in Viridian, but she had always liked this little restaurant, called The Persian's Meow. And the best part about the 'Meow was that it was also owned by the gym leader, so she ate for free.
Varia walked in the door and took her normal seat in a booth in the corner. With a wave of her hand, she flagged down a waiter and ordered lunch. As he hurried off to the kitchen, Varia glanced around the restaurant. It was pretty full today, which was odd. Usually this place was near empty, which made her wonder how it got enough revenue to stay open.
As she was speculating on how the 'Meow made a profit, someone slid into the opposite seat of the booth. She looked at him, surprised. This was certainly different from her normal schedule.
Well, Varia thought, so much for an ordinary day.
He looked about Varia's age, maybe a little younger, and had white hair and gray eyes. The boy was taller than she was. Probably about six-foot-two, Varia estimated. He was dressed in a gray turtleneck, black leather jacket, and black pants. He smiled politely at Varia. She couldn't help but notice that he was cute. Still, she wasn't sure if she could trust him. Hardly anyone was trustworthy, in her opinion, except for pokemon.
"What do you want?" she asked suspiciously.
He seemed kind of surprised by the question. "Um, you seem kind of upset right now. Maybe I'll just leave you alone for now."
"Hold on!" Varia said as he got up to leave. "Look, I've had kind of a bad day and I don't really get along with people. You don't have to leave, you know." Varia mentally smacked herself for that. Geez, she though, I meet one good-looking guy and all of a sudden I'm a doormat.
"Are you sure it's okay?" he asked, looking concerned.
"Yeah, it's fine," she answered. He smiled again and sat back down. "So, why did you pick me to talk to out of all the people in this place?"
"You're the only one sitting alone. Oh, and my name's Kyle."
"Kyle? That's great," Varia said acidly. She was still upset with herself for inviting the guy back.
Kyle looked confused. "What do you mean by that?"
The girl looked him straight in the eyes. "It's obvious you want something from me. People don't just walk up to a complete stranger to make small-talk. If you're some sort of cultist or salesman, you can take a hike because I'm not interested." To Varia's surprise, he didn't get up and leave. Instead, he stayed right where he was. The waiter returned with my meal, and Kyle had the audacity to order something to eat as well.
"Excuse me, but didn't I just tell you to get lost?!" Varia snapped.
"Not quite. You said I should leave if I was a cultist or a salesman. I'm not, so it should be okay for me to stay, right?" he explained with a smile. "I'm not trying to get anything from you. I just wanted to have lunch with a human being before I have to leave for Johto."
"You're going to Johto? What for?"
"I'm on assignment to research some of those new pokemon. I'm mostly looking into the new element type, dark pokemon."
"Oh," was all Varia said.
"I'm going to be on my own for this research, so I thought a little human contact before I left would be nice. But, if you would rather I leave…"
"No, it's okay," she finally conceded.
The waiter then brought Kyle's meal and we both began to eat. Varia hated to admit it, but it was nice having a person to talk to while she ate. And Kyle was pretty interesting.
At one point during the meal, he asked, "So, how'd you win that Earth Badge?"
Varia blinked, then realized what he was talking about. She pointed to the Badge pinned to her shirt. "Oh, this? I didn't win it. I just have it because I work at the gym. I take care of the pokemon there. I've been their head pokemon caretaker for six years now," she explained proudly.
"What's his name?" Kyle asked.
"Whose name?"
"The gym leader's."
Varia was shocked by the question. "Well, uh…I don't know. I never asked."
"You've worked for the guy for six years and you don't know his name?"
"No…" Varia said slowly. Then she got defensive. "But it's not like I need to! I just take care of the pokemon. I never asked his name, and he never told me. That's the way it is at that gym—don't ask, don't tell."
Kyle looked thoughtful. "That's different. Most gyms don't run that way. I wonder if he's hiding something…"
Varia snorted disdainfully. "Yeah right. He's a gym leader. What do they have to hide?"
Giovanni stepped out of his private limousine, smiling to himself. His "business" trip had gone better than planned. As he walked towards the Viridian Gym, two other figures exited the limo as well. One was wearing a gray Team Rocket uniform. She had curly, brown hair and sparkling green eyes and very large pink earrings. The Rocket girl was escorting another girl, this one handcuffed and looking far less lively than the first. The girl's brown eyes were downcast and almost completely hidden by her long red hair that fell around her face. She wore long jeans and a tattered shirt. Several small scars could be seen on her skin, hinting at others that were hidden under her clothes.
Giovanni turned to the two girls. He addressed the Rocket girl, "Lani, I want you to take that slave to the holding cells. No, better yet, give her to Grim." Giovanni opened the door to his gym and disappeared inside. The Rocket girl, Lani, smiled at her captive.
"Oooh, you're in trouble now! The boss just said to send you to The Reaper!" she exclaimed gleefully. When the captive girl didn't answer, Lani's smile faded and she shoved the prisoner roughly to a different door. She pushed in a special access code to open the door, which led to an elevator. Lani pushed the button for the very last floor. The elevator quickly whisked them to their destination. It dinged and opened its doors. The captive was ushered down several dark halls and past several prison cells (some of which were occupied) before they stopped in front of a large metal door. Someone had carved a scythe emblem into the metal, along with the words "Abandon All Hope, Ye Who Enter Here." Lani knocked on the door, then pushed it open.
The captive gasped at the sight of the room. It was filled with all kinds of torture equipment. Each device looked even more terrifying than the next. There were dull red spots all over the floor, which were difficult to make out in the dim light supplied only by a few torches hanging from the walls. Off in the corner, the captive thought she could make out the shape of cages. She gasped and drew back when she saw something move inside one of them.
Lani pushed the girl into the room, ignoring her obvious fear. "Hey, Reaper! The boss has a special one for you!" she called. A figure moved out of the shadows. It was a tall boy, well over six feet. He was wearing a white shirt with a red 'R' emblazoned one it and black pants, as well as a long coat that brushed against his ankles. Another red 'R' adorned the left lapel of the coat. The blond boy stepped forward into the light. The captive couldn't help but think that he didn't look too threatening, but she had learned long ago that one should never trust in appearances.
The boy walked right up to the captive and grabbed her chin, forcing her head up and tilting it left and right as if inspecting a piece of merchandise. He then looked back at Lani. "You're giving me this? There's no way she's a spy or a defecting Rocket. What, exactly, does the boss want me to do? Take her out to dinner and a movie?"
Lani ignored the sarcasm. "She's a slave he just bought in the Orange Islands. He was told that she tends to run away a lot. I think he's going to give her to the scientists later as a research specimen, but he wants to make sure she won't try anything while she's there. That's where you come in."
"Ah, that makes more sense," he said, a smile crossing his face. "Just leave her here. I'll have her nice and broken when you come back."
"Yeah, whatever. Just don't kill her or hurt her too much. I could get in trouble for that," Lani said, then walked out of the room, slamming the door behind her.
"Wouldn't dream of it," he said quietly, his smile twisting cruelly. Then he looked back at the captive. She cringed slightly at the boy's gaze. "Hey, relax. Stop acting like I'm going to hurt you."
She gave him a skeptical look and gestured slightly to the room's decor.
The boy threw his hands up in the air with mock hurt. "So suspicious! Everyone brought to me thinks I'm going to hurt them! Well, I usually do, but that's beside the point." He turned around and headed towards the back of the room, his coat swirling. The captive girl glanced back at the door, wondering if she should make a run for it. Suddenly, the boy looked over his shoulder at her. "Well, are you coming or not? Oh, I see. Planning an escape, are you? And just how far do you think you're going to get? You're seven stories underground and in the heart of Team Rocket's headquarters. Run if you like, but when the guards drag you back in here, it's only going to be less pleasant for you." He smirked and waited for the girl's answer. She considered his words, then hung her head in defeat and followed after him. The boy almost seemed upset that she hadn't tried to run.
He led her to a small, open space in the room with some sort of cabinet, a small table, a wheeled chair, and a guttering fire in a fireplace. They seemed to be the only objects in the room not meant for torture. He gestured to a shady object just out of the light. "Please, have a seat." The captive walked over to what she assumed was a chair and started to sit down. Suddenly, the blond boy grabbed her arm and jerked her back into a standing position.
"Not that chair," he said with a twisted smile. The girl looked at what she had been about to sit on, letting her eyes adjust to the darkness. To her horror, she found that she had almost sat on a chair covered in inch-long spikes. The boy pointed out a different chair for her, then sat in the wheeled chair backwards, leaning over the headrest. The girl sat down and noticed there were clamps on the armrests and several wires sticking out of it and leading off into the darkness. She was sitting in an electric chair. She didn't worry, though, as the boy seemed preoccupied with whatever was in the cabinet and had no intention of shocking her.
Still rummaging through the cabinet, he asked, "What's your name?" When the question was answered by silence, the boy swiveled the chair to look at her. "You only make it harder on yourself if you don't answer." He pulled something out of the cabinet and strapped it to himself. It appeared to be an ammo belt slung from shoulder to hip, but this one had only small daggers on it. He removed one and slowly turned it in his hands. "I'll only ask once more. What's your name?" The girl was again stubbornly silent. The boy gave a slight shrug. Then, in one fluid motion, he hurled the dagger at the girl's head. Before she could even draw a breath, the weapon was embedded in the chair's wooden back, barely half an inch from her ear. While the girl struggled to get her heart to slow down, the boy drew another dagger from the belt.
"Emery! My name is Emery!" the captive shrieked before he could throw the second weapon.
The boy smiled and slid his dagger back into the belt. "Ah, that's better. Now, if you'll allow me," he said, holding out his hand, "I am known as The Reaper, for obvious reasons. My actual name's Grim, but no one 'cept the boss calls me that."
Emery stared down at his hand, too surprised to do anything with it. After a brief moment, The Reaper pulled his hand away from her. He spun in the chair and sorted through the cabinet again.
"So, they say you're a slave, huh? How long you been one?"
"All my life," she answered. Emery gulped nervously as the boy pulled a tool out of the cabinet. It appeared to be some sort of knife with a barbed tip. He lay the knife on the table beside him.
"And how old are you?" He pulled out a small device shaped like a circular saw and deposited it on the table as well.
"Two years younger than me," he murmured quietly, pulling out a sickle-shaped blade and examining it. With a shake of his head, he put it back and pulled out an even bigger sickle. He laughed lowly and set it on the table next to the other devices of torture.
"You're only sixteen?" Emery asked, surprised.
"I'm asking the questions," he said curtly. He continued pulling out various unpleasant-looking instruments and interrogating the girl. "Why did you run away so many times? You knew your master would find you and beat you within an inch of your life every time you did, so why do it?"
"I…I didn't like what they tried to make me do."
At this, The Reaper stopped rifling through the cabinet and spun the chair to face her. He looked mildly intrigued. Crossing his arms on the back of the chair, he asked, "What kinds of things didn't you like doing?"
"Things that were wrong. Attempting to kill pokemon barehanded while they bet on the outcome. Gladiator matches with other slaves. Other less pleasant…things." Emery blushed slightly and focussed her gaze on the floor. She didn't see The Reaper's sadistic smile.
"Fascinating. And to think they want to experiment on you. But on to more important topics of discussion. Answer this question honestly, or I'll bury a dagger in your leg. Do you intend on trying to escape from Team Rocket?" He watched her like a hawk. Emery slowly lifted her head up to look directly into the boy's eyes. She saw his hand resting on the barbed knife on the table and knew he was serious about her telling the truth. After all, a knife in the leg wouldn't prevent her from being a science experiment. After a long pause, she answered the question.
The Reaper's grin broadened and his eyes took on an almost insane glint. He stood up and pulled a long metal pole out of the fireplace. The end was glowing white-hot.
"I was so hoping you would say that," he said, laughing maniacally. Emery's eyes widened and she tried to run, but he caught her and threw her back in the electric chair roughly. He forced her left arm onto the armrest and clamped it there. The girl struggled to free herself, but it was all in vain. She stared up, horrified at the boy holding the sparking iron. Then slowly, very slowly, he touched the burning tip to her left wrist. She screamed as the metal seared right through her skin. The Reaper laughed even louder as he dragged the iron slowly up her arm towards her shoulder blade.
The slave girl fainted before the iron got past her elbow.
Author's End Note: And there's the first part. The next part should be up soon. Also, only one person signed up to be a villain! Can you believe that?! So, if you want another chance to be in the story, I could use some more villains. Just send me an e-mail or leave a review (with some way to contact you) and I'll give you all the details. Thanks!

Tyler Robinson: Macey Scholar, Envirnomental Engineer
SOCORRO, N.M. May 9, 2013 – Tyler Robinson jumped right in to the life of a college student when he matriculated in 2010. The junior from Alamogordo joined the First Year Experience program and soon after joined the staff at the Center for Student Success.
In his application essay, he wrote that the First Year Experience "opened my eyes to other captivating activities offered on campus, such as various clubs and volunteer events."
Tyler Robinson, 2013-2014 Macey Scholar
In an interview, he said, "From then on, it was awesome. I started as an office intern at the CSS. They must have liked me because they moved me to tutor. Now, I teach the First Year Experience and that's pretty cool."
Robinson is studying Environmental Engineering and completed a summer internship in 2012 at White Sands Missile Range. That experience gave him a glimpse of the life of an engineer and motivated him to become more involved in his studies.
As a sophomore, he served as a learning coach during the first year of the Living Learning Communities, helping Dr. Frank Huang teach a year-long course in sustainability. He helped students design and install solar panels and wind turbines atop MSEC, which powered small greenhouses.
"The LLC class has taught me the importance of research, presentation skills, working with an advisor, and cooperating with my fellow peers," he said.
His work with Dr. Huang didn't end there. This year, he is leading a team that is designing a solar panel system that will power a large LED sign at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science in Albuquerque.
He has been selected to teach another First Year Experience course during the fall 2013 semester.
In his recommendation letter, Huang wrote, "Tyler did an excellent job [as learning coach] of getting to know the students and advising them … I was particularly impressed by his knowledge in science and engineering, his passion for the project, and his dedication to help students at any time."
This coming summer, Robinson will be an environmental engineering intern with ConocoPhillips in Farmington. He will be working in the Health, Science and Environment division of the company.
Dr. Clint Richardson, professor of Civil Engineering, wrote a recommendation letter, stating that "Tyler has always expressed excitement for learning in and out of the classroom. … He has shown leadership on many occasions as a head of class projects, design groups and school clubs."
Robinson is a member of Tau Beta Pi, the engineering honor society, and has volunteered to judge the N.M. Science Olympiad. He also founded the Cereal Club, a new student club, and serves as the president.
"I was super surprised. It's a real honor," Robinson said about learning that he was selected as a Macey Scholar. "I was so excited. I called my mom immediately and she was excited too."
Robinson is on schedule to graduate in May 2014, finishing in four years. He is interested in pursuing a master's degree, but in a field other than Environmental Engineering, so as to broaden his education and his career options.

Mulder: You've got a brother, don't you Scully?
Scully: Yeah. I've got an older one and a younger one.
Mulder: Well, have you ever thought about calling one of them all day long and then all of a sudden the phone rings and it's one of them calling you?
Scully: Does this pitch somehow end with a way for me to lower my long distance charges?
Mulder: I believe in psychic connections, and evidence suggests that it's stronger between family members, strongest of all between twin siblings that shared the same womb.
Scully: OK, maybe. But in this case, one sibling has closer ties to a frozen fudgesicle than he does to his own brother.
Mulder: Arthur Grable is not dead. He's in a state of consciousness that no human has ever returned from. And what if that state allows one to develop psychic ability to a potential that the conscious mind is too preoccupied to explore or believe in? He could use that ability to control his brother to kill those scientists.

I've been using 10.10 on my notebook for about a week, as it started to behave like this: Sometimes, while booting (while the "Ubuntu"-picture is showing, the one with the 4 dots representing the progress bar ), it shows " ######.#### restarting system", where #'s are "random" numbers followed by a reboot. I thought it could have something to do with usb-devices (I thought I've read something like that somewhere), so I tried unplugging - which didn't improve anything. Does anyone have a clue in which direction I should dig? Google is no big help for me here, because I'm kinda lacking good keywords.
IIRC, typing escape during boot will give you something a lot more verbose. Try to catch what happens before the reboot. Alternatively, the system logs in /var/log/syslog, if you look for the time before the last reboot, should have some info.
Edit, wild guess: maybe you are dual-booting, the other OS tells the bios it is doing a reboot, no one clears that, ubuntu see the "reboot" flag, interprets it differently and reboots.

Deals reached for Charlo-Williams and Commey-Easter Jr. for titles
Jermall Charlo and Julian Williams reached a deal for Oct. 1 and Richard Commey and Robert Easter Jr. agreed to terms for a vacant lightweight title fight Sept. 9.
Jermall Charlo and Julian Williams reached a deal for Oct. 1 and Richard Commey and Robert Easter Jr. agreed to terms for a vacant lightweight title fight Sept. 9.
Demetrius Andrade says his time away from boxing due to promotional issues only made him a better fighter, which is bad news for the 154-pound division.
Demetrius Andrade dropped Willie Nelson three times en route to a dominating 12th-round TKO on Saturday in Verona, New York.
Liam Smith does what was expected by blasting out an opponent who was not on his level, but looks ahead to matchups against the best at junior middleweight.
With career defining matchups against the sport's best agonisingly close, WBO 154-pound titleholder Liam Smith insists that his mind is on the job in hand.
The IBF will send letters to both Jermall Charlo and mandatory challenger Julian Williams asking both camps to start negotiating for a fight later this summer.
The Charlo twins, Jermall and Jermell, were at the center of an active junior middleweight division this past weekend with half of the Top 10 in action.
The Charlo brothers — Jermall and Jermell — have become the first twins to hold world titles in the same division simultaneously. And they might just be getting started.
Fans share thoughts on the Charlo twins, Erislandy Lara, Showtime boxing, Canelo Alvarez, David Haye, Joseph Parker, the Canelo-GGG saga, mythical matchups and much more in this week's Monday mailbag. Enjoy!
Jermall Charlo-Austin Trout, Erislandy Lara-Vanes Martirosyan II and Jermell Charlo-John Jackson (plus a little Beibut for good measure).
Jermell and Jermall Charlo made history on Saturday night by becoming the first twin brothers to hold world titles at the same time in the same weight class.
Weigh-in photos for the May 21 tripleheader featuring Erislandy Lara vs. Vanes Martirosyan, Jermall Charlo vs. Austin Trout and Jermell Charlo vs. John Jackson.
In 2012 Austin Trout was at the center of the 154-pound scene after upsetting Miguel Cotto. On Saturday he'll look to do it again by derailing Jermall Charlo's rise.
The only 154-pound world title not up for grabs in Las Vegas this weekend belongs to Liam Smith, who was happy to assess the forthcoming action.
Ronnie Shields' resume boasts some of boxing's biggest names from the past 30 years. He gave RingTV an in-depth breakdown of the most talented fighters he has worked with.
The three title fights consist of Erislandy Lara vs. Vanes Martirosyan; Jermall Charlo vs. Austin Trout; and Jermell Charlo facing John Jackson on Showtime.
Showtime is close to finalizing a deal for Jermall Charlo to face Austin Trout and Erislandy Lara taking on Vanes Martirosyan May 21 in Houston.
Showtime is in talks to air a broadcast with Jermall Charlo's live title defense against Austin Trout with a replay of Deontay Wilder vs. Alexander Povetkin in Russia.
Ronnie Shields has his hands full as he trains both Jermall Charlo and Erislandy Lara, who may face Vanes Martirosyan again in Jr. middle title fights.
In his latest 'Travelin' Man' journal, Lee Groves counts punches for a Showtime card featuring Avtandtil Khurtsidze-Antoine Douglas.

At least there's one last chance to remedy that on Saturday by catching either Maleficent or Despicable Me. After this weekend, events start heading indoors. (I know! It's so hard to believe fall is around the corner.) Other opportunities for last-minute fun before homework sets in include something new at LEGOLAND® Discovery Center Boston and something old in the streets of the North End. Also on Mommy Poppins Boston this week: Summer's end isn't all bad. Once school starts, these places give you access to the stars in Boston. Enjoy your weekend and don't forget to check out the full Event Calendar! Read more.
