Cavernous malformations are the abnormally formed blood vessels that appear like a small mulberry in the spinal cord or the brain. These malformations can be hereditary in nature and may occur on their own. Cerebral Cavernous Malformations can leak blood, causing bleeding inside the brain. This can lead to neurological symptoms that depend on the location of the malformation in the nervous system.
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) and other institutes at the National Institutes of Health conduct research related to CCM in their clinics and laboratories and support additional research through grants to major medical institutions across the country. Much of this research focuses on finding better ways to prevent, treat, and ultimately cure CCM.

By Nesha Starcevic, The Associated Press
COLOGNE, Germany After the canals of Venice and the Colosseum in Rome, it's the twin spires of the Cologne Cathedral for the Phoenix Suns.
The Philadelphia 76ers are here, too, after the Gaudi and Ramblas of Barcelona.
The two NBA teams are in Germany as part of their preseason tour of Europe and will play each other Tuesday in the Cologne Arena, across the Rhine River from the famous cathedral.
Despite the hassle of travel, both teams see the merits of the trip — not to mention the food.
"We would do it every year if we could," Suns coach Mike D'Antoni said Monday after practice. "I've watched my players smile and laugh the entire week in Italy and I'm sure they'll do it Germany, too.
"I don't see any negatives. I don't see any downsides. You can really do your work wherever. Only if people start doing too much off the court can it be used as an excuse," D'Antoni added.
D'Antoni said Europe was better at building teams — witness the losses of the U.S. national teams in recent major tournaments.
"I think that's one of the things that Europe does better," D'Antoni said. "They eat together. They travel together. They really like each other. I'm lucky to have players that do that as well."
Steve Nash, a two-time MVP, said the trip was "really great, great for our unity."
Maurice Cheeks, the 76ers coach, believes the trip is helping his team find its chemistry, too.
"Coming over here to Europe has been great for us to bond, to get our team chemistry together," Cheeks said. "When you come to a different country, guys have to rely on each other. It has allowed us to unite, to get to know things about each other we wouldn't otherwise."
Cheeks believes the 104-99 loss to FC Barcelona last week would also help the 76ers down the road, by adopting something out the Spanish team's playbook.
"A lot of things they did was very useful, and we'll get to look at the tape and break down some of the things they did," Cheeks said. "We took away one option and they had another ... Barcelona had two or three options and this is something we talked about after the game, adding more options to our offense and adding more options on the defensive end, too."
Allen Iverson said the trip was something he would remember.
"We haven't been together for long and it's going to help us get together faster," Iverson said.
NBA teams have just started their training camps, while most Europeans teams already have several weeks of play behind them. That shouldn't be an excuse for NBA teams, though, Iverson said.
"There is no reason for anybody to play harder than us," Iverson said. "But these guys have a lot of pride and when they come out against an NBA team they want to show they can play. The international game is getting so much better."
The 76ers were not the only NBA team to lose in Europe this preseason: CSKA Moscow defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 94-75. The Suns beat Virtus Lottomatica Roma 100-93, and the San Antonio Spurs won a pair of games in France.
D'Antoni, who played and coached in Italy for years, thinks it would be different if the NBA teams came to Europe later in the season.
"The NBA is still the best league. Come back here in December ... But that's not taking anything away from basketball here," he said. "European basketball is really good. But there's a big difference in the calls. You can kill people in Europe. You cannot touch people in America."
CSKA Moscow, the reigning Euroleague champion, is also in Cologne and will play Maccabi Tel Aviv in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader.
The winners and the losers play each other in another doubleheader Wednesday, guaranteeing two more European-NBA showdowns.
Maccabi has been responsible for four of the seven games NBA teams have lost in international exhibitions since 1978.
The Spurs beat Maccabi 97-84 Sunday in Paris, however.

High Performance Computing with Wenming Ye
Download this episode
If there were a special geek merit badge for those whose desktop PC has the word "CRAY" across the front, Wenming Ye would have plenty of them. Wenming works just down the hallway from us on Channel 9 exploring the possibilities of HPC (High Performance Computing). I wanted Niners to meet Wenming and see some of the interesting projects he's working on and find out how the cloud has changed supercomputing.
This week Wenming is at SC11, the International Conference for High Performance Computing, but if you have any questions about HPC you can leave them here.

Najib's account - Horses' Mouths – 4 August 2015
RM2.6 bilion in Najib's account
The report on the findings related to RM2.6bil has been referred to the Attorney-General (A-G). Results of the investigation have found that the RM2.6bil which was allegedly transferred into the account belonging to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak came from the contribution of donors, and not from 1MDB.
Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), insisting that the RM2.6bil allegedly deposited into the personal account of the Prime Minister came from donors and not from 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB)
I didn't want to hold RM20,000 in cash, so I deposited it in my account and wrote checks for the election committees. This money was not from donors but from Umno and it was used by (Umno) divisions for their candidate. Once I was removed from the party in 1970, the IRB raided my house and clinic. They found the cheque stubs and claimed that I did not report my income.
Dr Mahathir Mohamad, asking Inland Revenue Board (IRB) to disclose whether it probed allegations that RM2.6 billion was transferred into Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak's bank accounts
Is this a donation or a bribe to get something specific? Has the MACC not looked at this? What are the conditions of this RM2.6 billion donation? Are we to imagine that a donation this big was made without conditions to the prime minister? Or is this an accounting trick?
Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man, PAS deputy president
It is therefore suspect that for the first time, one component of the task force unilaterally clears the prime minister in relation to the RM2.6 billion. What is the stand of the task force collectively, or is this just the stand of MACC?
Rafizi Ramli, PKR secretary general
Mad work
Our DPP (Ahmad Sazalee Abdul Khairi) was arrested at 1am (on Saturday). I think the police won't do mad work like this is if there was no instruction for them to do so.
Bahri Mohamad Zin, Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) special operations director, raising the possibility of hidden hands behind the ongoing police crackdown on suspects who leaked info regarding 1MDB investigations
We are not involved as the investigation on 1MDB is led by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID).
Mohamad Fuzi Harun, Special Branch director
We'll see. Questioning those whom we believe can shed light on an investigation is part of procedure. We will be questioning more people from Bank Negara, MACC and the AGC.
Khalid Abu Bakar, Inspector General of Police, saying the police will record statements from more officers from the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), Bank Negara and Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC)

Razor Coupons
Razor Coupons
No one pays retail prices any more. Back in the day, before paper and bar codes, we had no choice but to fork over full price. Razors, hair care products, skin care products, and styptic pencils were only available at the pharmacy; now this stuff is all over the Internet. Razor coupons can be downloaded for extreme discounts on equally extreme products.
Murad Man Face Defense
Murad provides uber-macho products designed and marketed for the superhero in all of us. Face Defense might not protect you from kryptonite, but it will extend the life of your epidermis. That's a good thing. Stride boldly into direct sunlight with no fear of blemishes, age spots, or girly makeup.
Sure, Coppertone might be cheaper, but can you put a price on masculinity? Jam a tube or two into your fanny pack. Stride the beach with confidence and smooth skin. Laugh at UV warnings on the Weather Channel. Chuckle at unfortunate boyfriends forced to slather themselves with Este Lauder from floral tote bags.
Razor Coupons - Defend Your Face
Gillette Fusion Power Razor
Power is a must-have when shaving. Beard hairs posses almost super human strength; they cannot be cut by a single underpowered blade. Only an array of blades sharp enough to trim Amazon undergrowth will tame human facial hair. Shaving is a solitary activity, but self-respecting adult homo sapiens cannot face themselves in the mirror without sufficient power and commensurate coolness. What happens in front of the mirror, stays in front of the mirror.
Brush Technology
You can't slop shaving cream onto your face. It must be gently transferred from a special brush onto stubbly skin. Brushes come in various shapes and sizes, but truly optimal cream application can only be achieved with badger fur. For uncounted millennia, fancy men kept an annoyed badger in the bathroom. Each morning intrepid butlers mixed warm shaving cream, loaded up a hapless badger, and gently applied smooth layers of buttery goodness onto men of high society. Sadly, these badgers were doomed to a life of confinement and eucalyptus.
Thanks to modern technology, badgers now roam free. They have been released from entrapment under the sink. Their sole responsibility is to donate a few tufts of fur to the betterment of male facial scraping.
Smell Like Something
The only thing worse than smelling like a sissy girl is smelling like nothing. Walking the fine line between feminine floral and masculine menthol presents virtually insurmountable challenges for Real Men. We men don't want to stink, but we don't want to remind our Real Men Friends of a stroll through a spring meadow. We live in constant confliction. What scent will attract the gals and let the dudes know we're always up for a little tree trimming, car repair, or road grading?
From the packaging to the marketing to the olfactory assaulting, nothing compares to Axe. Axe tells the females you shop at Wal Mart. Axe tells the dudes that you probably have a head cold so severe that you can't smell yourself anymore.
If you have to buy this stuff, look for razor coupons online. Don't pay retail. Walk into Walgreens armed with price cutting bits of paper and present them proudly to the cashier. If you can find one.

Badgers in the bathroom? Where is the SPCA when we need them?
Unfortunately in South Africa, we often have no choice but to fork our full price for goods, because manufacturers never supply coupons that we can redeem for anything.
It's about time the manufacturers realised that there are shoppers in other parts of the world as well, besides the US, and provided coupons for us to use as well :-)

Why I Moved to Vegas, and What It Can Teach Us About Innovation
I've fallen in love with living in Las Vegas, but most people think I'm crazy to move here. I may well be, but in my defense, there is a huge difference between the Vegas I know, and the Vegas that automatically springs to most peoples minds. This disconnect between what most people think Vegas is, and how I think of it illustrates two really important biases that can impact innovation, and business productivity as a whole. One is the confirmation bias, the other is the illusion of understanding.Read More »

Grammar Notes Get out a sheet of paper to take notes. You will want to take notes because you have Study Island assignments.
Modifiers Squinting modifier: does not directly modify the word that it should, and this can confuse the reader. Example: When I went to the mall, I only looked at the shoes. Because of the word only, this sentence can be read three different ways: 1. You only looked at the shoes and did not buy any. 2. You only looked at the shoes and nothing else. 3. You were the only one who looked at shoes. You have to move the word only to clear it up. When I went to the mall, I looked only at shoes. Example: People who blow-dry their hair often suffer from damaged hair. 1.People often blow-dry their hair. 2.People often suffer from damaged hair. People who blow-dry their hair suffer often from damaged hair.
Misplaced Modifier: make sure the term and the modifier are close together or you will create a misplaced modifier. Example: Missing from the house the night before, my brother found the keys under the sofa cushion. The speaker's brother wasn't missing from the house the night before. The keys were. Missing from the house the night before, the keys were under the sofa cushion when my brother found them.
Dangling Modifier: fails to modify anything in the sentence. Example: After reading the book, the movie seems subpar. The sentence seems correct, but the movie didn't read the book. After reading the book, I think the movie seems subpar.
Comparatives and Superlatives To compare and contrast persons or things, we use the comparative and superlative forms of an adjective or adverb. We use the comparative form to show the difference between two things. For example, motorcycles are more dangerous than cars. We use the superlative form when referring to three or more things to show which one is the best degree of something. For example, motorcycles are the most dangerous vehicles on the road.
Comparatives One Syllable Adjectives: Adjectives with one syllable use –er endings to form the comparative. Double the final consonant if it follows a vowel. Examples: cold becomes colder, thin becomes thinner It was colder in the movie theater than it was outside. The new monitor is thinner than the old one. Two- or More Syllable Adjectives Adjectives with two or more syllables use more placed before the adjective to form the comparative. Examples: corrupt becomes more corrupt, defective becomes more defective Broderick was a more corrupt politician than Sean was. The special DVD was more defective than the regular one.
Two-Syllable Adjectives Ending in –y Adjectives with two syllables ending in –y drop the –y from the ending and add –ier to form the comparative. Examples: busy becomes busier, hairy becomes hairier City traffic is busier than the country. The big dog was hairier than the little dog.
Superlatives One-Syllable Adjectives Adjectives with one syllable use –est endings to form the superlative. Double the final consonant if it follows a vowel. Examples: cold becomes coldest, thin becomes thinnest February was the coldest month last year. The new sandwich cookie has the thinnest wafers on the market. Two- or More Syllable Adjectives Adjectives with two or more syllables use most placed before the adjective to form the superlative. Examples: corrupt becomes most corrupt, defective becomes most defective Huey was the most corrupt politician of them all. The ultimate collector's edition DVD was the most defective release.
Two-Syllable Adjectives Ending in –y Adjectives with two syllables ending in –y drop the –y from the ending and add –iest to form the superlative. Examples: busy becomes busiest, hairy becomes hairiest Downtown traffic was busiest overall. Milwaukee held a contest to see who had the hairiest back.
Exceptions There are some exceptions to these rules. Some adjectives do not follow the regular rules for forming comparatives and superlatives. Two of the most important exceptions are good and bad. Another important exception is the word fun. Its comparative form is more fun, while its superlative form is most fun. AdjectiveComparativeSuperlative GoodBetterBest BadWorseworst
Negatives To create negative comparatives and superlatives, use less placed before the adjective to form the comparative and least placed before the adjective to form the superlative. AdjectiveComparativeSuperlative IrritableLess irritableLeast irritable EconomicalLess economicalLeast economical FestiveLess activeLeast festive BraveLess braveLeast brave
Active and Passive Voice When writing sentences, you can use active voice or passive voice. In most writing situations, active voice is preferable to passive for the majority of your sentences. Overuse of passive voice can cause readers to lose interest or to become confused. Sentences in active voice are generally (though not always) clearer and more direct than those in passive voice.
Active Voice In sentences written in active voice, the subject performs the action expressed in the verb; the subject acts. Barry hit a home run. Tom and Jerry will attend the concert. Scientists have conducted experiments on the effects of aging.
Passive Voice In sentences written in passive voice, the subject receives the action expressed in the verb; the subject is acted upon. The agent performing the action may appear in a "by the…" phrase or may be omitted. The home run was hit by Barry. The concert will be attended by Tom and Jerry. Experiments have been conducted to test the effects of aging.
Subject-Verb Agreement Subjects and verbs MUST agree with one another in number. In the present tense, a singular subject takes a singular verb, and a plural subject takes a plural verb.
Singular Verbs end in –s or -es Unlike nouns, the plural form of a verb is not made by adding an –s or –es to the ending. It's actually the opposite. For present- tense verbs, adding the –s to the end makes it singular. If the verb is plural, there is no –s ending used. Singular VerbsPlural Verbs The driver speeds down the highway. The drivers speed down the highway. The girl stares at the cute guy. The girls stare at the cute guy.
Compound Subjects Joined by "and" take a plural verb A subject that is made up of two or more nouns is a compound subject. When the parts are connected by and, the subject is plural, so it takes a plural verb. Selena, Helena, and Mark ran the marathon. The truck and the car have low mileage.
Subjects with singular nouns joined by or or nor take a singular verb. Either the sour milk or the moldy cheese causes the fridge to stink. Neither the black dress nor the pink gown is fashionable enough.
Subjects with a singular noun and a plural noun joined by or or nor take the verb that agrees with the closer noun. Jalapenos or extra cheese makes pepperoni pizza even better. Neither the supervisor nor his workers want to work overtime.
Subjects are not in modifying phrases. When the subject and the verb are separated by other words or phrases, make sure the verb agrees with the subject, not with a noun within the phrase. The paintings at the museum are strange. Your baby-blue tuxedo with all the ruffles is tacky.
Don't let those phrases fool you! Phrases using with, together with, including, accompanied by, in addition to, or as well do not change whether a subject is singular or plural. If the subject is singular, the verb should be as well. Jane, as well as her sisters, enjoys punk music. The cranberries, in addition to the broth, go in the stuffing.
Nouns with a plural form but with a singular meaning take singular verbs. Nouns such as United States, civics, mathematics, measles, and news take singular verbs. Mumps is a contagious disease that can be avoided with vaccination. Physics sounds like a hard subject.
Nouns such as scissors, tweezers, trousers, jeans, and shears take plural verbs. These nouns may appear to have a singular meaning, but each of these things is made up of two parts. The shears are in the barber's hand. The tongs have barbeque sauce all over them.
Collective nouns usually take singular verbs. A collective noun has a singular form even though it refers to a group of individuals or things. Examples include army, audience, crowd, group, team, committee, class, and family. These nouns take a singular verb when the group acts as one unit. The audience enjoys the long-awaited movie. The crowd goes wild during a double play. The town supports Mayor Bright. However, a plural verb is used when people or things within a group act separately. The broken-up band have solo careers now. The family disagree about where to go on summer vacation.
If the subject follows the verb, the subject and verb should still agree. When the normal subject-verb order is inverted in a sentence, the verb still agrees with the subject. For example, in sentences beginning with there or here, the subject follows the verb. Since neither there nor here is ever the subject of a sentence, the verb agrees with the noun that follows the verb. There are many chores to do. Here is the match to your other sock.
With words that indicate portions, look to the object of the preposition. With words that indicate portions – percent, fraction, part, majority, some, all, none, remainder, and so on – look at the object of the preposition (the noun following the of phrase) to determine whether to use a singular or plural verb. If the object of the preposition is singular, use a singular verb. If the object of the preposition is plural, use a plural verb. Half of the car was covered in mud. One-third of the sodas were peach flavored.

What is the Powerful Yoga Exercise for Vaginal Strength?
You might seek to improve your vaginal strength for many reasons, including childbirth, urinary incontinence and improved sexual health. Yoga features an exercise known as mula bandha that can strengthen this area. Once you learn the technique, you can practice it on its own or within yoga poses.
Beyond the Physical
In traditional yoga practice, mula bandha is not a purely physical exercise. It is one type of bandha, which are techniques to control life force energy from the ancient yoga texts "Hatha Yoga Pradipika" and "Gheranda Samhita". It works with chakras, which followers of yoga and some other belief systems understand as centers of life force energy. With this technique, you hold the energy from the root chakra found at the tailbone and send the energy upward, moving toward enlightenment.
Pelvic Floor Strengthening
On a physical level, mula bandha contracts muscles in the pelvic floor to give them strength and stability. This includes the anus, the perineum found between the genitals and the anus, and the genital muscles, so it will strengthen vaginal muscles for a woman. However, Hillari Dowdle warns in a "Yoga Journal" article that this exercise can cause problems for people who are stressed, tense or depressed if it is not done right. Work with a certified yoga teacher to perform it correctly.
Practice Mula Bandha
Put your pelvis into a neutral position and pull your lower abdomen in toward your spine. Then, contract the muscles in the pelvic floor, which is the bottom of the pelvis. To learn how to contract the muscles of the vagina, urinate and focus on stopping the flow. David Life explains in a "Yoga Journal" article that women can also insert a finger into the vagina and perform the contracting movement. You will know you are doing it correctly if the muscles tighten around your finger. Tighten the other muscles in the pelvic floor as well, which you can learn in the same way by pressing a finger on the perineum and the anus while contracting. James Hewitt, in his book "The Complete Yoga Book," recommends holding mula bandha as long as you comfortably can and releasing. Do this five times, with 15-second breaks in between.
Mula Bandha Within Poses
Mula bandha was traditionally practiced while in Adept's pose, which you perform by sitting in a tight cross-legged position with each foot resting on the opposite inner thigh close to the groin. If that is too difficult, perform it in Easy pose by sitting loosely in a cross-legged position. Once you learn it, you can incorporate this contraction into a variety of yoga poses like Mountain pose, Downward-Facing Dog pose, Seated Forward Fold pose and Warrior II pose.

Read an Excerpt
Chapter One
Veronica Overton walked with prideful steps into the executive ladies' room on the fifth and top floor of the building that housed the agency, Child Placement and Assistance (CPAA), that she headed as executive director. In the three years that shell been its chief, she'd developed the agency into a driving force on Baltimore's notoriously depressed and blighted west side. When she went home to her co-op town house in upper-middle-class Owings Mills, just outside Baltimore proper each night, she could pride herself in the knowledge that she'd made it; she'd accomplished what millions strove to do. She'd reached the top of her profession before her thirty-third year, and by bringing integrity to everything she did, she'd won the respect and admiration of everyone who knew or knew about her. Veronica reached the entrance to the ladies' lounge and stopped short.
"What do you know about that?" she heard a woman ask. "Her Highness, Lady Veronica, is flat on her backside. The invincible Miss Overton. Not even the governor can get her out of this one."
Veronica recognized Mary Ann's voice when she said, "Why're you so happy about it? I think it's a reflection on all of us. Somebody slipped up somewhere."
"Yeah," came the voice of Astrid Moore, the woman who had competed with Veronica for the position of executive director, "but Her Highness is the one who'll burn for it. That man means business."
Veronica rubbed her arms to relieve the sensation of burrs and thorns attacking her skin. Forgetting that the women thoughtthemselves alone, she startled Astrid with a hand on her shoulder.
"What are you talking about? What's happened that I don't know about?"
Astrid's glistening white teeth sparkled against her smooth dark skin. "You didn't know? Schyler Henderson just held a news conference. Seems Natasha Wynn is missing from the foster home we placed her in, and he's suing CPAA for negligence."
Veronica couldn't help bristling at the accusation, even as apprehension raced like blood through her body. "Negligence? He's out of his mind. Some children run away from their own parents."
"Yes," Mary Ann said, stepping over to Veronica's side in an unspoken gesture of support. "But Mr. Henderson said the home in which we placed Natasha is an unsuitable environment. You know what that means."
"Do I ever!" Veronica wrinkled her nose against the sweet, sickening perfume that Astrid sprayed around her neck and ears. "Thanks for your loyalty, Astrid. Be sure I won't forget it. Not ever," she added with pointed sarcasm.
She inspected her light brown skin, combed her black, artificially straight hair, refreshed the lipstick that matched her dusty-rose raw-silk dress and walked out of the room head high and shoulders straight. People said she walked regally, but she felt anything but regal right then. A blast from Schyler Henderson and his Advocates for the Child (AFTC) people could topple her, destroy all that she'd done and sink her into professional disgrace.
She welcomed the sharp mid-March air that greeted her when she stepped out of the CPAA building. Winter had hung around longer than usual, and she tugged her street-length black shearling coat closer to her body. At the corner, she bought some roasted chestnuts from Franco, who told her proudly that he'd sent three children through college on what he made selling them. She believed him. Over twelve years, chestnuts at ten for a dollar fifty could have bought him a mansion.
The twenty-minute train ride home gave her just the time she needed to unwind after a hard day and to begin thinking of her other life. Her choral society, work with the shelters and her plan to help juveniles achieve more respect in their neighborhoods. She wanted to form them into groups of volunteers who would assist people in emergencies. As she entered the two-story brown brick structure, she couldn't help feeling a sense of pride, It was hers, and she didn't owe one penny on it.
After a light supper, she sipped ginger ale and watched the evening news. The Henderson man was everywhere, and his commanding presence and mesmerizing charisma seemed to have worked their magic on the reporters. Not one of them questioned his accusations; not one pointed out her contribution to the people in the area she served. Sickened by the media's readiness to put her on trial, she flipped off the radio and set about planning her defense.
The next morning she sat in her office with her deputy, Enid Dupree, discussing the agency's options, Enid didn't believe they had the resources or the proof to combat AFTC. "Veronica, you know Henderson is formidable when he makes a case against you. Look at the way he managed that case against the boys' club."
Veronica sat forward. She'd forgotten that case. "But this agency is not culpable."
Enid shrugged. "Doesn't have to be; he believes in his soul that we've destroyed Natasha Wynn, and if you didn't have anything more to go on than the evidence he cited to the press, you'd say he's right."
"I know he's a heavyweight. Everybody around here knows about him and his crusades, but people say he s honorable."
"Somebody's feeding him half-truths. I'd bet my new face on it."
Veronica's shoulders shook with her laughter. "You paid eight thousand dollars for that face. You mean you're that sure we've got a stool pigeon in here?"
"You heard what he said at his news conference. He sounded as if he'd been reading our files."
"Then he should have read the truth. That foster home has had a perfect record." She gritted her teeth. "You wouldn't believe how I'd like to get my hands on that man."
Enid's new face bloomed into a lusty female grin. "Me too. Lord knows I would, and I wouldn't be taking my hands off him anytime soon. Believe me, I'd"
Veronica could hardly believe what she heard. Enid never talked about men unless discussing them professionally. "Wait a minute. Are you saying?"
Enid didn't bother to show any embarrassment at having raved about a man. "Haven't you met the guy? If he doesn't send your blood rushing the wrong way, you haven't got any. I'm fifty-four, but just looking at that man from a distance of twenty feet made me pray."
"Yes, honey. If I hadn't prayed for self-control, I'd have gone straight up to him and said or done something stupid."
Thank God it wouldn't be a jury trial, and with luck, the judge would be a forty-year-old ladies' man. "I've seen him on TV, but I never got the impression that he was irresistible."
"Same here, but Mr. Henderson in person is an all 'nother cut of cloth. Those eyes! And, Lord, that million dollar charisma. Whew!"
Veronica leaned back in her chair, picked up a pencil, twirled it, put it down and shuffled some of the papers on her desk. Restless and impatient. "All right. I get it. That only means I've got work to do and plenty of it. He's used to getting his way, no doubt."
Laughter, spilled out of the woman sitting beside her desk. "If he told me what his `way,' was, I'd see that he got it."
At Veronica's icy stare, Enid threw up her hands, "Just kidding. Just kidding, See you later."
Veronica watched her leave. She trusted Enid, but she didn't care to do battle with a male heartthrob. Competence she could handle, but she didn't relish being the generator for a man's ego trip. She read and reread the information in Natasha's file. The agency hadn't made a single mistake with the girl. Who knew why an eleven-year-old would run away. A sudden chill stole into her. A child wouldn't run away from a warm, loving and happy home, would she? If indeed that was what had happened. Lord forbid Natasha had been a victim of foul play.
She mused over the problem and, on impulse, asked her secretary for Schyler Henderson's phone number. She couldn't plan if she didn't know precisely what the charges were.
"Schyler Henderson. Good morning."
His warm, caressing tones gave her a mental picture of a perfectly proportioned male lying supine on a bed of dewy grass with a warm breeze kissing his bare skin. She reigned in her thoughts.
"Hello, Mr. Henderson. This is Veronica Overton."
"What may I do for you, Ms. Overton?"
So he didn't engage in small talk. She held the receiver away and stared at it. No pretense. All right, if that's the way he wanted it. She respected professionalism, She told him she'd learned of his charges through the media.
"It seems to me that if you were seriously concerned about our placement practices, you would at least have spoken with me before you made your public grandstand."
"I considered it, but since I didn't know you or how you operated, I decided against it."
"Well, I want you to know that I had no idea Natasha wasn't in that home until one of my staff told me about your press conference."
"Ms. Overton, that home is unsuitable. The child has disappeared, and no amount of discussion will change that. The only way we'll stop this ... these tragedies is nip them at the source."
"That home has served more than a dozen children over the years without one unpleasant incident. Furthermore, my agency has an impeccable record, and we provide the only service of its kind to West Baltimore. If you destroy us, what can you put in our place?"
"I'm not out to destroy your agency. We need it; you and that agency have been a good thing for this community. But we must protect and preserve every child, every little life, Ms. Overton. No mistake is tolerable. My aim is to make sure that our children get the best possible service. From the information available to me, it appears that Natasha Wynn didn't get that so, much as I'd rather not move against you, I have to do what I believe is right."
Schyler hung up, got the file and read it through again, assuring himself that he hadn't misrepresented the woman or her agency. Still, an uneasy feeling settled in him. He'd never met her, but he knew her reputation and he was loathe to sully it. Women, and especially African-American women, had a hard enough time getting executive jobs and receiving the support they needed after they got them. He didn't want to knock her down, but when he remembered his own travails in first one foster home and then another, he had to stay his course for the child's sake. He called the district attorney's office to lodge his complaint.
Brian Atwood answered the phone. "Man, Overton has a spotless record. You asking me to dethrone that icon?"
Schyler sat down, put his feet on his desk, crossed his ankles and leaned back in his swivel chair. "I know who she is, and I don't want to hurt her, but it's my job to act when a child is endangered." He could imagine that he'd worried Brian, the coward of their college class.
"I hope you know what you're doing, man. She's rock solid."
Fishing with Brian could be fun, but working with him tried his patience. "Was rock solid. I'm sending the file over by messenger."
"Okay," Brian said, a tad slowly, Schyler thought. "I'll get back to you."
Three hours later, Schyler lifted the receiver hoping his caller was not Veronica Overton and breathed deeply in relief when he heard Brian's voice. "What do you think?"
Brian didn't hesitate. "I'll check this out and if I find cause, I'll bring charges.
A week later, AFTC's charges against Veronica's agency were aired in Family Court.
Schyler strode into court, certain of his grounds but unhappy about the damage he might inflict on a woman of commanding stature and singular achievement. She had rescued Child Placement and Assistance from irrelevancy and made it a force in the community. He knew about her, had heard her on radio and seen her on television, but he'd never met her. A half-smile settled around his mouth. She always sounded so correct, perfect, like Miss Betts, his fourth-grade teacher. He hadn't liked Miss Betts, he recalled, because she never gave him credit for what he did. Sometimes, he wished she could see him now. He'd grin at her and show her his thumbs up sign, the way he always did when she was mean to him. He laughed to himself, because he knew he was procrastinating. Much as he hated it, he had to present this case.
He walked away from his side of the aisle, greeted an acquaintance and shook hands with him, still postponing the inevitable. Then he sat at the table provided for him and looked across the narrow aisle that separated him from Veronica Overton, intending to bow graciously, and did a double take. Right straight to the marrow of his bones. An arrow with his name on it. She'd looked at him and his heart had taken off and sped unerringly to her. Get ahold of yourself, man. This spelled trouble, because she'd reacted to him as surely as he had to her. Quickly, he focused his attention on the papers in front of him. She'd been looking at him again and had diverted her gaze when he caught her at it. He ran his fingers through the thick black wavy hair that disputed the purity of his African heritage. Now, what was that all about?
Veronica glanced up just as the tall, distinguished-looking man entered the far side of the chamber. Schyler Henderson. A giant of a man. At least six feet five inches tall, though trim as an athlete. She'd never realized he was so tall and, for reasons she refused to examined, imagined that he'd dwarf her five feet ten inches. Not that she wouldn't like it; she enjoyed being with a man who made her feel soft and feminine. She settled her gaze on him. She wouldn't say he was a knockout, but ... He looked at someone in front of her, smiled, and long strides brought him to within a few feet of where she sat. His smile claimed his whole face as he shook hands with the man before going to the table reserved for him and sitting down.
The bottom dropped out of her belly, and she knew what Enid meant about blood flowing backward. She stared at his back while something leaped within her, quickening her insides. She couldn't move her gaze from him. He sat alone, without a lawyer, leaning back, as relaxed as a marathon runner at the end of a race. She brought herself under control and breathed. Lord, she'd never seen such eyes.
The judge called the proceedings to order, and Brian Atwood read the charges. She marveled at her ability to sit quietly through it. Her agency's lawyer refuted the charges, and she strummed her fingers on her knee. Such a waste of time and money. It hadn't occurred to her that Schyler would be the one to argue on behalf of Advocates for the Child. She bristled at the assurance with which he read the brief he'd written as a friend of the court.
"No matter what CPAA's reputation is, it cannot be allowed to endanger our children. The tragedy of Natasha Wynn has sullied the commendable reputation that this agency established during the previous three years. But saving a hundred children does not excuse the loss of one."
Angry at him as Veronica was, he fascinated her. And thrilled her. She watched, spellbound, as he strolled from one end of the bench to the other, a consummate actor.
He spread his hands as though helpless. "Of course, Your Honor, we can pat them on the back and say, now you be good little boys and girls and don't do this anymore. Sure, and we could be right back here a month, two, three or a year from now with another tragedy." He looked over at her and smiled. "We wouldn't want that, Your Honor." To her surprise, he asked his lawyer to call her to the stand.
Veronica took the stand. "Thank you for the opportunity to speak on my behalf, Mr. Henderson. Not many of us can claim to have achieved perfection in every aspect of our lives as you so obviously have, so you'll forgive me if I don't blow my own horn and let the agency's record speak for itself."
She could see that she'd stung him, but he was only momentarily nonplussed. "When we're dealing with people's lives, we'd better be perfect," he replied, his tone gentle and his manner respectful.
She refused to allow him the last word. "Since you know that, Mr. Henderson, I'd think you'd have gotten your facts straight before you took an action that could destroy my life."
A look of distress flashed across his countenance, and she got a sense that he regretted the entire affair, but he quickly replaced it with an expression of confidence and asked the judge for a ruling against CPAP.
The judge, apparently having heard enough, announced that he'd render a decision within ten days and dismissed them.
Veronica marched out of the chamber, head high, without a glance in Schyler's direction. He'd had the temerity to accuse her agency. She couldn't think of any torture good enough for him. As the crisp March air hit her face, enlivening her skin, invigorating her, his long shadow paired with hers, and she didn't doubt that he'd maneuvered it so that they'd leave the building together.
She didn't look at him. Deliberately. She didn't want any of his magnetism, though it seemed to radiate from him even when she wasn't looking at him. "I'm surprised you'd care for my company, Mr. Henderson. It taxes my credulity to think you'd allow yourself to be seen with such an irresponsible person as me, a menace to the well-being of Baltimore's children. Sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else?"
He took a deep breath and let it out slowly. "This isn't personal, Ms. Overton. I've admired your work, but this tragedy requires restitution."
She stopped walking and looked up at him. "And you don't care who pays. Is that it? You don't even know that there is a tragedy. She's missing, but for all you know she could be safe. Where there's no body, there's no murder; any detective will tell you that. Make a name for yourself at somebody else's expense, please."
He faced her, towering over her, either unable or not caring to hide the sensual awareness making itself known through the prisms of his remarkable gray eyes. "I'm not a crusader, Ms. Overton. I'm trying to protect children because they can't do that for themselves. I'd never set out to hurt you. You ... you're ..." He looked into the distance, protecting his thoughts, and when he looked back at her, she couldn't mistake the compassion his eyes conveyed for anything but what it was. He did dislike hurting her.
He stared down at her, his gaze unfathomable. A half-smile formed around his sensuous mouth. Then he winked. "See you next week." And he was gone.
Schyler's steps slowed when he approached the restaurant where he'd told Brian they could meet for lunch, as his mind grappled with the enigma that was Veronica Overton. Once there, he ordered a hamburger with-french fries, coleslaw and a dill pickle, and a chocolate sundae for desert.
"Aren't you hungry?" Brian asked, as he watched Schyler pick at his food.
"I don't know. I just don't feel that spurt of adrenalin, that excitement that I usually get on a case. I don't feel like making the kill. Maybe I ought to turn this job over to somebody else and stick to engineering."
"This doesn't surprise me. It's a real bummer. The woman's standing in the community didn't happen accidentally. She had to work her tail off for it, man. You're going to make yourself a bunch of enemies."
"I know, but I can't help it. When I became head of Advocates for the Child, I took an oath to pursue vigorously every case in which a child had been put at risk. It's my job, and I have to do it, but I ..." He rubbed his forehead. "You don't know how I hate the thought of jeopardizing that woman's career."
"Well fasten your seat belt, man. Eve got some news for you."
"Those foster parents have separated. I got it when I called my office just before you walked in here. You can't lose this one."
"Separated after twenty-three years? What about?"
"Seems she's tired of doing everything in the house while he comes home at night, buries his face in a book or newspaper and cultivates his mind. She's mad as hell and she's not taking it anymore."
Brian's laughter grated on his ears. He didn't find it amusing. "That doesn't make it a bad home for a child."
"Does if they argued about it a lot."
Schyler nodded. "If the man's such a lost cause, how'd she stand him for twenty-three years?" He finished his chocolate sundae. "Gotta go, man. See you in court."
He hailed a taxi to his office at Branch Signal Corporation, where he worked as chief of electrical design. An engineer by profession, he'd gotten a law degree so that he could help underprivileged people, particularly children, who otherwise wouldn't get competent counseling. He didn't charge for his services to AFTC, and though he represented the foundation, he didn't practice law.
He went to his drafting table and began working on a method of tapping electric energy in summer when it was cheapest and storing it for use in winter when it became more expensive. He was too disconcerted to work. Something ... everything about that case bothered him. He walked over to the window and looked down at the crowds scurrying along Calvert Street like ants after sugar. He'd gotten one good look at her, and she'd poleaxed him. In all his thirty-six years, no woman had done to him what she did without trying. He wondered how he'd had the presence of mind not to stare at her. He lifted his left shoulder in a quick shrug. She wasn't immune to him either. But he suspected she had the strength to put aside whatever she felt, to ignore it and him. Too bad. He'd give anything if he'd met her in more favorable circumstances.
