Reports: Haren-Marmol Deal Dead?
Cubs reliever Carlos Marmol created an internet stir when he said he had been traded to the Angels, but now multiple outlets in Chicago are reporting that the the deal, which would have sent Dan Haren to the Cubs, is not happening.
Both the Chicago Tribune and MLB.com reported that the deal had fallen through.
Angels General Manager Jerry Dipoto did not immediately a return a message.
The Angels still have until 9 p.m. PT to decide what to do with Haren, who has a $15.5 million option that must be exercised or declined by that deadline. If the Angels decline it, they would owe Haren a $3.5 million buyout.
News of the deal broke just before 5 p.m. PT, when Marmol told an outlet in the Dominican he'd been traded. It was later "confirmed" by various outlets over the next several hours.

Ammend 6 Issue # 5 - Planning Horizon
I did not realize the inpact of a one year plan. According to the data supplied in the PID there is a significant advantage to a 3 year managment plan. It seems the longer plan will allow the managers to assess all of the last three years of mortality and stock models, giving a better analysis of the situation. It appears to also be preferred by the individual states, allowing them to be more stable in their adjustments and regulations.
My concern is that if we rush into it and don't get the projections right, we will be dealing with the adjustment for another two years before a correction is made.
Any thoughts ? ?

A Woman of Substance
By CDRSalamander
As my father let me know early on in my life, the most important decision a man can make is the woman he marries. It wasn't until I was much older, and well in to my own marriage, that I realized how true his observation was.
While all relationships have their own dynamic, there are some who are a benchmark – a spouse who match the greatness of the man they helped make. They are the scaffold all else was built around.
If someone is about to join another on a journey with a spouse that is serving, Sybil Stockdale is a good benchmark to use.
She has left us to join her husband after a long time away. Via the DailyMailUK;
Sybil Bailey Stockdale, a Navy wife who fought to end the torture of U.S. prisoners of war in Vietnam, has died.
Stockdale's son, Sid Stockdale, said Tuesday that his mother died Oct. 10 at a hospital after suffering from Parkinson's disease. She was 90.
Stockdale is the wife of the late Vice Adm. James Bond Stockdale. She found her calling after her husband's plane was shot down during the Vietnam War in 1965 and he was taken prisoner. The U.S. government at the time discouraged military wives from speaking up about the mistreatment of the prisoners of war, Sid Stockdale said. Nonetheless, Stockdale organized military wives who demanded the U.S. government pressure North Vietnam to abide by the Geneva Convention.
Stockdale helped found the League of American Families of American Prisoners and Missing in Southeast Asia and she served as the organization's first national coordinator.
She appeared on national television, met regularly with then-President Richard Nixon and confronted a North Vietnamese delegation at the Paris Peace Talks. At the same time, she worked closely with the CIA to be able to write secretly encoded letters to her husband, who was tortured by his captors.
The military credited Stockdale with helping secure the safe return of her husband and other POWs in 1973.
James Stockdale, then a commander, disfigured himself so he could not be used in Vietnamese propaganda films — an action for which he received the Medal of Honor in 1976, according to the Navy Times.
Sen. John McCain, a naval aviator, was a fellow POW in the Hanoi Hilton with Stockdale's husband.
"Sybil's selfless service and sacrifice fighting for American prisoners of war, those missing in action, and many who are still unaccounted for has left an indelible mark on this nation that will never be forgotten" McCain said in a statement to the newspaper.
To know the full background on what this incredible woman did in a challenging time, I highly recommend you get a copy of the book, In Love and War: The Story of a Family's Ordeal and Sacrifice During the Vietnam Years;
"I think the book's message was to recognize that there's a place and time and need to be loyal and recognize the military is a unique institution with a big job to do, but then at the end of the day, it's very important if you feel as though you need to speak up, then you should do so. I think it's a fantastic message," he said.
Her papers and memoirs from the Vietnam era, written in long hand on yellow legal pads, today are kept at the Hoover library.
Until the end, she continued to meet at her home monthly in Coronado with the wives of POWs and those missing in action.
A memorial service will be held for Stockdale in Coronado and she will be buried beside her husband on the grounds of the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland.
We all benefited for her love and passion for her husband, her Navy, and her nation.

Interview: Karl Marlantes On War
By LCDR Christopher Nelson, USN
I encourage you to spend forty-eight minutes of your day listening to author Karl Marlantes talk about war. Many of you are already familiar with his work. For those who are not, here is a short bio: Marlantes is a Yale graduate and Rhodes Scholar. After a year at Oxford, he left, joined the Marines, and was then in some of the worst fighting of the
Vietnam War. He was awarded the Navy Cross for assaulting a hilltop bunker occupied by the NVA. Here is a part of his citation:
"While continuing to function effectively in his primary billet, First Lieutenant Marlantes skillfully combined and reorganized the remaining members of two platoons, and on 6 March initiated an aggressive assault up a hill, the top of which was controlled by a hostile unit occupying well-fortified bunkers. Under First Lieutenant Marlantes' dynamic leadership, the attack gained momentum which carried it up the slope and through several enemy emplacements before the surprised North Vietnamese force was able to muster determined resistance. Delivering a heavy volume of fire, the enemy temporarily pinned down the friendly unit. First Lieutenant Marlantes, completely disregarding his own safety, charged across the fire-swept terrain to storm four bunkers in succession, completely destroying them. While thus engaged, he was seriously wounded, but steadfastly refusing medical attention, continued to lead his men until the objective was secured, a perimeter defense established, and all other casualties medically evacuated."
Years later, he wrote Matterhorn — a fictional account of his experiences as a platoon leader in Vietnam. I read his second book, What It Is Like to Go To War, while deployed in 2011. After reading it, I handed my copy to our senior chaplain. As a chaplain that spent considerable time with Marines in Iraq, and seeing some of the worst combat of Operation Iraqi Freedom, I thought he would get something out of it. Two days later he came up to me and asked me if he could keep my copy. He ended up buying me a replacement copy when we pulled into Singapore. It not only spoke to the power of his book, but it was a reminder that books can make an incredible gift.
Recently, Marlantes came to the US Naval War College to speak to the students about war, ethics, his work, and many other topics. He was funny, insightful, and refreshingly honest. One of my friends, when leaving the auditorium, said, "That was one of the best Q&A's I've heard this year." Marlantes touches on some pertinent yet divisive topics that many of us are debating today: Should there be a draft? How do veterans assimilate back into society? Is it too easy for policy makers to use the military? And many others.
Take some time — watch it.

Why the United States Won't Need Troops in Afghanistan After 2014
By Jeong Lee
General Joseph Dunford, the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) commander, has recently told the New York Times that America's "presence post-2014 is necessary for the gains we have made to date to be sustainable." His reasoning was that although the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) are bearing the brunt of fighting, "at the end of 2014, [they] won't be completely independent" operationally and logistically.

Quincy, Massachusetts, Has Formula For Healing Vietnam War Wounds
By The Bunny
Patricia Smith's family considers military service part of the duty of being a U.S. citizen. And no one in her family hesitates to serve. Her father survived the Bataan Death March. Her son serves in the National Guard and has been deployed more than once overseas. Her grandfather and uncles served. And her brother, Peter Gerry, was killed in Vietnam. He was 18. He is one of 48 men (boys, really) from the small city of Quincy, Massachusetts, who died during the Vietnam conflict. Families with multiple generations who have served in uniform are not unusual in Quincy, a town with a population of 90,000. What is unusual is how they keep the memories of their service and sacrifice alive.
Every spring, the city comes together to rename a square, park or monument after one of its own that was killed in Vietnam. Since 2005, they have been renaming sites in the city after their native sons – a few every year. In addition, a 40-foot clock tower next to the Marina that overlooks the nearby metropolis of Boston holds a plaque that is engraved with all 48 KIA names. During this same spring ritual, the community of Quincy revisits the Vietnam Memorial Clock Tower at Marina Bay for a closing ceremony after the individual dedication events.
Why now? Why has this city and its citizens dedicated so much of itself to shine a spotlight on war victims more than 40 years later?
To answer this question, you must go back to 1987, to the dedication of the clock tower at the Marina in Quincy. It was built and dedicated to Quincy boys killed in Vietnam and a few Quincy Marines – Tom Bolinder, Ed Murphy, and Larry Norton, all of whom played a critical role in getting the clock tower built and in hosting annual ceremonies to remember Quincy's Vietnam KIA. Technically a suburb of Boston, Quincy might as well be a thousand miles away from its neighboring urban center with a strong liberal political tradition. With more in common in demographics, values and politics to small Midwestern towns, Quincy, the birthplace of John Adams and John Quincy Adams, has a long tradition of sending its sons (and, now, daughters) to war when our country has asked, beginning with the Revolutionary War. This small group of dedicated Quincy Marine Vietnam veterans led the charge to pay tribute annually to Quincy's Vietnam KIA long before the rest of the country recognized that Vietnam veterans never got the welcome home they deserved. Every year since 1987, Quincy natives have organized, staged and hosted these commemoration ceremonies. Rain or shine, this small group of local veterans, often numbering only 20 or so, held an annual memorial ceremony, reading the names of each of the 48 lost in Vietnam. For many of the families, it was the first time their loss had been publicly and ceremonially commemorated.
But, in 2005, Bob Brudno's one-man mission changed the entire dynamic of the annual event. A native of Quincy and a Navy veteran, Brudno's family was – like most Quincy families – intent on serving. Brudno served as a Navy surface warfare officer. His oldest brother, Alan, became an Air Force fighter pilot and was shot down over North Vietnam on October 18, 1965. He was held in captivity for seven and a half years, one of the longest-held POWs in Vietnam. Tragically, Alan Brudno committed suicide just four months after his release in 1973.
The crusade to give meaning to Alan Brudno's life began the day Alan was shot down and caught national attention when Bob Brudno finally won his battle to get his brother's name added to the Vietnam Wall in Washington, D.C. in 2004. Until then, his efforts had been thwarted by some who thought that the way he died somehow made his name less worthy. Bob convinced them otherwise.
Alan's name wasn't on Quincy's memorial either. In 2005 Quincy's veterans were determined to change that and added his name in the only space left available … at the top. Hundreds came to that ceremony.
Bob now readily admits that the tribute his small hometown of Quincy paid to his brother has done more to heal him and his family than any other effort. "My brother's death symbolized the tragic failure of our country to welcome home and properly care for all Vietnam veterans," he explains. "After more than seven years in captivity, my brother was severely wounded by the enemy; you just couldn't see the blood. The stigma associated with the psychological wounds of combat was too great for him to ask for help. Even though he tried to commit suicide less than a week after he returned – he was in such pain, he didn't get the help all of our servicemen get today."
When challenged by Bob Brudno to pay tribute to all of Quincy's Vietnam KIAs in the same way Alan Brudno was honored, the city and its community advocates rose to the occasion. Since then, they honor two or three Quincy Vietnam KIA every year with these customized, individual events. So far, they have dedicated monuments to more than a dozen Quincy Vietnam KIAs – with an ultimate goal of recognizing all 48. Honorees, families and guests are whisked around the city for two days with police escorts and city leaders that underwrite the cost of meals and local transportation for the tribute ceremonies. Speakers have included General Joseph Dunford, Assistant Commandant of the Marine Corps, author Joe Galloway, author and Marine Bing West, and former POW Orson Swindle.
In April of this year, Quincy dedicated three more squares to three more of its KIAs: Robert Vasconcellos, George Fell, and Ralph Willard. This year, George Fell's nephew used his leave from his yearlong deployment to Afghanistan to attend his uncle's tribute ceremony in Quincy. Corporal John Fell, USMC, said he "wanted to be here to support my family." Like many men in Quincy, he "always wanted to be in the military."
Which takes us back to Peter Garry, killed in action July 29, 1969. His family was overwhelmed by the attention when the city of Quincy announced they were going to name a square in Quincy after him and hold a public ceremony just for him – honoring his life and his sacrifice for his country. "My family was so proud of Quincy for not only remembering my brother Peter in 2009 – 40 years after his death, but also remembering all of the men on the Wall in Quincy," Pat Smith remarked. "The families of these men are so appreciative to the city of Quincy."
The annual event has now achieved such a high profile that politicians vie for the honor to speak. Indeed, this year, both state and federal representatives made podium appearances. For the 25th anniversary of the dedication of the Clock Tower in April 2012, Vietnam veteran, former Army Captain and Medal of Honor Recipient Paul Bucha is confirmed to be the keynote speaker.
What is it about small towns like Quincy that make the difference? Big cities, big companies and big non-profits spend a lot of money and a lot of political capital to "honor" veterans – both old and young, but they don't hold a candle to the small city of Quincy. Suffice it to say that Quincy has proven that our country has the ability to heal war wounds like no other entity. The homespun, hand-crafted, and personal approach to the tributes Quincy hosts is the key. Corporate and government sponsorship makes little impact. Veteran-to-veteran touch and the involvement of multiple generations and facets of the community – students, elders, local government officials, local businesses – make the difference. Perhaps Quincy should export their annual event and show small towns around the country how to do it…right. Perhaps the Department of Veterans Affairs could assist in this effort and provide a guide – based on the Quincy template – for recognizing and paying tribute to our Vietnam veterans and KIA – one at a time, until they are all recognized. Vietnam veterans, more than any other veteran community, need to know we value their service and sacrifice.
As Bob Brudno once said, this event will do more to lengthen the lives of Vietnam veterans than the pills and the counselors. The city of Quincy dispenses the medicine these aging veterans have always needed – the welcome home and the personal "thank you for your service" that they never got before.
Hurry up America, before our Vietnam veterans lose faith.

Eden Lake Gallery
When nursery teacher Jenny (Kelly Reilly) escapes to the country for a relaxing weekend away with her boyfriend, she is unaware of a romantic surprise he has in store. The location is perfect. A lake enclosed by woodlands, seemingly deserted. The scene is set for a picturesque proposal. But before the happy couple can enjoy the retreat, their peace is shattered by a gang of violent youths. What begins is a shocking and unrelenting game of cat-and-mouse, as Jenny is forced to fight back against her aggressors. Check out some photos from Eden Lake.

Skiathos is a charming little village. I want to come back, if for nothing else but to experience its beaches (some of the finest in Greece and the world). We learned that MAMMA MIA, the film, was shot here – not entirely, but several locations were used. The island is quite lush, cypress, pines, evergreens carpet the island. The various shades of green on the lush hillsides sit in bold contrast to ...

Understanding Philadelphia STD Risk Factors
If you're sexually active, you are at risk for sexually transmitted diseases and infections. Potential sex partners usually belong to social networks made up of people with similar ages, locations, and backgrounds. Very often, these groups overlap. If one STI makes its way through such a group, there's a good chance that others will, too. Once the door is open for an infection, it is opened for many infections. Have you been tested recently?
Factors that may increase that risk include:
- Engaging in unprotected sex
- All 3 types (vaginal, anal and oral sex)
- Having multiple sex partners
- Having a history of one or more STIs.
- Abusing drugs or alcohol
We offer the most advanced and confidential STD testing available in Philadelphia. We don't take a one-size-fits-all approach because we know how overwhelming this process can be. Our highly trained STD counselors are available 24/7 to assist you.

Waking up next to you is such a pleasure,
it puts a smile on my face that I can't even measure.
Wishing you were here with me right now,
feel out of place and alone when you are not around.
Finally, after two years we saw the light,
putting an end to each other's struggle and strife.
Like the brightest rays of the sun,
I know you are truly the one.
I say that with no hesitation,
my life does not need and more exacerbation.
I love everything about you,
this is how I know our love is really true.
I can no longer deny how I feel inside,
you make me come out of my shell, not want to run and hide.
I guess you can say it was love at first sight,
knew that from the first day, but chose to run and hide.
Not knowing how you felt,
life was literally hell.
Now I know your true feelings,
which kinda sent me reeling.
Two hearts together finally beating as one,
what can I say, I love you a ton.
You are mine and I am yours,
we will be together...forvermore.
You are the greatest thing that ever happened to me,
you accept me for who I am, I am finally free.
Never meant to walk away that day,
my head was just not in the right place.
For two years, I regretted that every day,
just wanted to tell you how I felt, to release the pain.
I wondered if you forgot about me,
it killed me inside not being able to see.
I missed you so much,
your radiant smile, your elegant touch.
You are perfect for me,
don't matter what anyone else might see.
You are Raven, I am Bones,
together forever, that is cast in the stones.
Together we will raise our own brand of hell,
and with you and I, it will sure be swell.

Neutrons at ELBE
Fast neutron facilities have traditionally been of two types; white sources and quasi-monoenergetic ones. While the latter deliver high-intensity neutron beams at a single energy, the white sources produce neutrons in a continuous range of energies when a beam of charged particles hits a heavy target like tungsten or lead. In this case, the energy of a neutron is determined by measuring its velocity by flight time.
In the new Center for High-Power Radiation Sources of HZDR situated at the superconducting electron linear accelerator ELBE, the very compact neutron time-of-flight system nELBEhas been built. The electrons can be used to produce neutrons in a liquid-lead neutron radiator, and the neutron energies that can be measured range from 100 keV up to 10 MeV with an electron beam repetition rate of 0.2 MHz. In this energy interval, there is a need for neutron cross section measurements relevant for basic science and technical applications. The long-term needs for nuclear data have been formulated, e.g., by the International Atomic Energy Agency [1].
In addition, the TU Dreden DT neutron generator that produces monoenergetic neutrons at 14 MeV is located in the ELBE accelerator hall. This facility is used for fusion neutronics studies and neutron activation experiments related to fundamental physics, e.g. the search for the neutrinoless double-beta decay.
The photoneutron source nELBE is part of a BMBF joint research project (see TRAKULA website)
Transnational access to the nELBE facility is possible through the FP7-Project CHANDA

Wise Son
The Blood Syndicate is a fictional multicultural gang of superhumans created by Milestone Comics and published by DC Comics. The team first appeared in Blood Syndicate #1 (April 1993), and was created by Dwayne McDuffie, Ivan Velez Jr. and Denys Cowan.
Publication history[edit]
In Milestone Comics' fictional city of Dakota, the Blood Syndicate is a loose affiliation of super-powered individuals brought together by circumstance; 35 issues of their eponymous comic book, written largely by Ivan Velez, Jr., were published between 1993 and 1996.
The Blood Syndicate differed from other supergroups in that they were (in Velez's words) "not a team - they're a gang".[citation needed] In fact, they were the surviving remnants of multiple street gangs (thus the name, a combination of "Paris Island Bloods" and "Force Syndicate"), who had gained superpowers in the so-called Big Bang, and decided to use them for a greater purpose. However, their constant in-fighting, the unsustainability of their methods, and their lack of a central vision (particularly after the death of their first leader) led to the Syndicate's eventual disintegration.
Fictional Team History[edit]
The "Big Bang" refers to an incident in which gang members from all over Dakota met in one, huge battle. Unknown to them, or even to the police involved, the tear gas used to disperse them was tagged with a radioactive agent called "quantum juice." Many gang members and police officers died. Others are transformed, some according to what they are next to; for instance, Aquamaria, landing in water, gains water powers, and Brickhouse merges with a brick wall and becomes brick. Other entities are affected in other ways. Dogg, a normal dog, discovers he has cognitive abilities and develops speech. Other heroes and villains that the Syndicate would encounter later would also gained their abilities from encounters with the gas. Some of them, such as Static, were neither gang members nor police.
Coming Together[edit]
The gang members eventually come together, forming a new gang. This takes some time. The original members are actually killed by Holocaust, only to be saved by Flashback. He vacillates, only to recruit Wise Son, threatening his mother in the process. Third Rail is found in a homeless camp deep below the streets, suffering from guilt over his father. Templo is recruited, through deceit, from a local church. The group meets and agrees to work together. After an initial disagreement, they agree to go by "Blood Syndicate", a combination of the names of the two rival gangs, "Force Syndicate" and "Paris Bloods".
Their first raid, on a crack house for operating capital, results in the deaths of many drug addicts and criminals and in the recruitment of Masquerade, who had been recruited to guard the actual drugs. They meet back at their original spot, only to be ambushed by a large contingent of local criminals. Templo is killed and the gang works together, killing every single one of their attackers.
Media Spotlight[edit]
They attract the attention of Dakota's local media. The Dakota Chronicle, the city's most popular newspaper sends reporter, Roberta "Rob" Chaplik, to score an interview with the Syndicate. Chaplik follows them to a raid on a crack-house, their main source of money. She actually perishes, but the powers of Flashback save her.[1]
Initially, the Blood Syndicate's methods were violent, but they softened over the course of the series. They killed less and less. Unfortunately, this was not enough to convince the traitor Masquerade. After stealing from the team, he was not convinced they would spare his life. (Of course, 'he' is relative, as it turns out Masqerade was a woman all along.)
The Syndicate faced multiple threats and disasters. The unstable nature of their powers causes their original leader, Tech-9, to perish. The less popular Wise Son is forced to replace Tech as leader. Another gang leader, John Wing, whom they humiliate (he is actually urinated on by Wise Son) kills his wife in order to summon the 'Demon Fox.' This powerful demonic entity would prove extremely difficult to beat. He almost slays the entire team and is also able to get deep inside their heads psychologically. After his first defeat, he attempts to influence others to affect the team. Another villain, Rift, with reality-warping powers, temporary kills most of the people the Syndicate cares about, by dumping Paris Island into the ocean. These deaths lasted for some time. Eventually, Rift is manipulated into reversing the murders.
Racial tensions arise briefly as a mystical incident reveals that long-standing Syndicate member Boogieman is a shape-shifting white male. His status as a reliable member of the team is enough to make it through.
There were bright spots during the team's history. Third Rail and Brickhouse began a romantic relationship and eventually move out to start a new life together. Wise Son's little sister and son, both of close ages, develop powers of their own, teleporting long distances through mirrors. They frequently visit the team and strike up a friendship with Dogg.
The team develops money troubles due to having driven most of the crack gangs out of town, plus renovation bills.[2] They managed to find one last crack house. They decide on a raid and then more responsible use of any resulting money. The raid goes badly, leaving team member Kwai shot.
Though having moved out, Brickhouse and Third Rail's troubles are far from over. Third Rail is attacked by a gigantic villain called the 'Techno-Shaman' and is ultimately saved by Brickhouse.
Kwai recovers from her injuries but learns that she is on the last life of a series of mystically granted lives. She travels to her home realm, Kwen Lun, the Wondrous Lands, in a desperate attempt to gain at least one more buffer life. During Kwai's troubles, Dogg deals with operatives of a murderous organization called S.Y.S.T.E.M.. who want to experiment on him and other Bang Babies. Fade and Tech-9 confront a simmering attraction for each other. Masquerade also deals with another branch of S.Y.S.T.E.M.[3] Upon returning home Kwai meets with her old friend, the Monkey King, and the two plead to her father, the Jade Emperor for another life. The Emperor denies this request, declaring that she has grown too attached to the mortal world. He then sentences her to death without reincarnation stating that she has broken the blood contract between them by rebelling against him.
To save Kwai's life, the Monkey King recruits most of the Syndicate to go with him to Kwen Lun to save her, while Tech-9 and Flashback stay behind as backup. In the Kingdom of Ti Yu (Hell), Kwai is offered marriage to the Dog God there to save her existence, but decides she can't marry him and goes on to meet the Grey Lady. There she learns that her entire existence as Kwai has been a nothing more than to provide entertainment to the gods of the Wondrous Lands in the form of a never-ending battle against the Demon Fox. The Grey Lady offers Kwai once more a chance to live and marry the Dog God, but Kwai refuses, deciding that she will no longer allow to gods to control her existence - even if it means her death. The Grey Lady, impressed with her spirit allows her to return, with the warning that her father will not stop until he has his revenge.
The Beginning of the End[edit]
After returning it is revealed that The Demon Fox aided Masquerade in imitating Tech-9 - by giving Masquerade some of Tech-9's essence so she can assume leadership of the Blood Syndicate. In an all-out battle royale between the Demon Fox and Masquerade vs the Blood Syndicate - Kwai and the Demon Fox destroy each other, leaving the 9 year-old Nina Lam surviving. The Syndicate confronts Masquerade for her deception, where she proclaims that under her leadership they had become more efficient than ever before and that with her they can achieve their true potential as a team. Failing to convince the others of this Masquerade, leaves the team once again. Wise Son, although disagreeing with her methods, admits that she is right and that they "never lived up to the hype". He states that they have all kept too many secrets from each other and that they all fight each other more than their enemies. Tired of the pain that they have endured and the constant violence around them, the team disbands. A few days later, while recounting the events of the past ordeal to Rob Chaplik, Dogg appears before Wise Son telling him that "the Syndicate isn't over, its just stopped for a while is all", to which Wise Son smiles and replies "thicker than blood, G, thicker than blood."
Milestone Forever[edit]
Since their disbanding the Blood Syndicate left a hole in the hearts of its members, powerful people left to fend for themselves. But when Holocaust makes his inevitable return he does so and reinstates the Blood Syndicate as they once were a gang. He tries to take his actions out into the street and claim Dakota City as his own, he is stopped by Wise Son and other heroes as they Wise Son himself challenges Holocaust into a battle for the rightful ownership of Syndicate. Wise Son wins and it seems that Holocaust has burned himself to death, yet again. It remains to be seen if Holocaust actually died, but to all present Wise Son is their leader, who has ideas to bring his family to the light away from Holocaust's fire.
DC Universe[edit]
Following the death of Darkseid (as chronicled in Final Crisis), the space-time continuum was torn asunder, threatening the existence of both the Dakotaverse and the mainstream DC universe. The being known as Dharma was able to use energies that he harnessed from Rift (upon that being's defeat in Worlds Collide) to merge the two universes, creating an entirely new continuity. Only Dharma, Icon and Superman are aware that Dakota and its inhabitants ever existed in a parallel universe.[4]
In the revised continuity, Holocaust has been defeated in battle by Static (now a member of the Teen Titans) and the similarly powered Black Lightning (of the Justice League of America).[5]
Solicits have revealed that in February 2010, Holocaust will show up as an adversary of the Teen Titans in issue #80 of their series.[6] On the covers for issues 80 and 81, he is shown battling Aquagirl and Superboy respectively.[7]
- Aquamaria - Maria (last name unknown) survived the Big Bang while floating in the (fictional) James River; as a result, she was transformed into a transmorph of "living water." A former member of the Sociedad de la Cruz gang, she exhibits all the properties of water - for instance, she has survived evaporation and recondensation. She also has substantial control over water in all its forms: she can induce tsunamis and geysers, and shape near-freezing vapor into ice sculptures. The character was renamed "Aqua-Maria" when she appeared in the animated series Static Shock.
- Boogieman, or Boogie - Martin Berger is able to transform into what is essentially a giant blonde humanoid rat. He is also able to communicate with the hyper-intelligent rats of Dakota (and possibly with ordinary rats), even when untransformed. A post-Texador member, Berger joined the Syndicate during their attack on the S.Y.S.T.E.M. conspiracy. When his mother was trapped in a hospital full of angry inter-dimensional chihuahuas, he chose to rescue her with only the teen hero, Static, as backup.
- Brickhouse (or Brick): Marta (last name unknown) survived the Big Bang while pressed up against a brick wall; as a result, she took on its characteristics, becoming a 10-foot-tall, super-strong woman of living brick (complete with mortar lines). Unfortunately, this led to a substantial amount of brain damage, and she was subject both to epilepsy and retrograde amnesia (by the time the series was canceled, she still did not know her last name). Her name was inspired by the Commodores' soul classic, "Brick House". The character "Brickhouse" appeared in the animated series Static Shock.
- DMZ - DMZ's name is an abbreviated form of the term, Demilitarized Zone. Little is known about him. He has superhuman strength and durability and is able to fly; furthermore, his eyes glow red. DMZ never speaks (except during the Worlds Collide crossover, when he said the word "Damn"); nor does he ever take off his mask, even to eat. He spends his free time atop a bridge, whirling a lamp on a chain in the hopes of signaling passing extraterrestrials, and wears what appears to be the uniform of the D'amsi police officers of Icon's interplanetary civilization, the Cooperative. When Icon asked DMZ to join him (when an alien rescue party arrives for Icon) he declines. Dwayne McDuffie stated on his Delphi forum that "DMZ is a human who teamed up with a member of the D'amsi police force when she chased a criminal to Earth. He was severely wounded saving her life, so she used her technology to optimize him, unlocking his full human potential. She left the Earth to chase the villain as he healed, promising to return for him.[8] He got his name from a mis-heard 'D'amsi'".
- Dogg: Originally Texador's/Tech-9's pet dog, Dogg gains human-level intelligence and speech, while remaining a dog in shape, personality, and abilities. First introduced in issue #2, he became a valued member of the team despite his size and shape. He was allowed a spot at the table and listened to, just like anyone else. When Pyre formed his own Blood Syndicate, Dogg was one of those who rejected the offer to join.
- Fade: Carlos Quinones Jr., he has the same name as his father and is the brother of Sara Quinones (Flashback). He can fly and pass through solid objects (quantum tunnelling), and frequently has difficulty becoming substantial. He is actually "spread out" over a three-second interval, and is thereby able to, for instance, punch someone and leave them unharmed until after he has left. As was stated in the comic, "Fade isn't what he does, it's what he endures." He is a deeply closeted gay man, and was in love with Texador (Tech-9).[9] He also has the undeveloped ability to travel back (and possibly forward) in time by significant amounts, evidenced by Kwai recognising him the first time she meets the Syndicate, as someone she had known in one of her previous incarnations. A side effect of this ability are the instances of clairvoyance he sometimes displays. The character appeared in the 2000-2004 animated series, Static Shock, as a teenager with only the power of intangibility/Quantum tunnelling.
- Flashback: Sara Quinones, sister of Carlos Quinones (Fade). Flashback can fly and can travel back in time three seconds, an ability she uses to change the past. She considers herself responsible for the welfare of the Syndicate as a whole because she has witnessed (and reversed) their deaths and severe injuries on multiple occasions. She is also a crack addict, partly because of the stress of having seen her friends die so many times, something only she remembers. Later, Rocket, sidekick to Icon, would intervene in her drug habit.[10] She is the inspiration for the character Nina Crocker/Time-Zone, in the 2000-2004 animated series, Static Shock.
- Holocaust (later Pyre): Leonard Smalls, Jr. is the illegitimate son of Dakota mayor, Thomasina Jefferson. A superhumanly strong pyrokinetic, Smalls left the Syndicate after a leadership struggle with Texador/Tech-9, and chose to abandon the small-scale world of gangs for the greater possibilities offered by organized crime.[11] As an initiation ritual, he was obliged to surrender something of great value to him: his name, and the reputation that came with it. Unable to call himself Holocaust, Smalls renamed himself Pyre. As Pyre, he tried to reform a new Blood Syndicate of his own recruiting: Boogieman, Flashback, Mistress Death, Bad Betty, Fade, Tarmack, Bubbasaurus, and Rocket (who was undercover). Smalls then reclaimed his name - Holocaust.
- Kwai (Shen Hsien Pu Kwei)- one of the two non-Bang Babies in the Blood Syndicate (DMZ being the other), Nina Lam was the 77th - and last - incarnation of a Chinese mystical being. Originally a 9-year-old girl, Lam was mystically transformed into a 7-foot-tall adult woman with albino-pale skin, immensely long hair, and pointed ears. She encountered the Syndicate in the wake of their defeat by the Demon Fox, and thanks to Flashback, survived a booby trap set by John Wing's Demon Fox Tong. After the Blood Syndicate was saved and restored by Nina Lam, now Kwai, she joins the Blood Syndicate and periodically calmed Brickhouse's seizures. Kwai fought alongside the Blood Syndicate a number of times and was once shot during a crackhouse raid; while she went into a healing cocoon, Hannibal White (Wise Son) tortured Kwai's shooter. Later Kwai's healing light changed the Blood Syndicate back to normal for a short time, and learns that she's down to her last life. After Brickhouse and Third Rail leave, Kwai decided to leave, later seen returning to her homeland, the Kingdom of Kwen Lun; meeting with her old friend, the Monkey King, revealing that she needs to ask her father, the Jade Emperor for another life, as she is sentenced to death without reincarnation. Ending up in the Kingdom of Ti Yu (hell), Kwai was offered marriage to the Dog God there to save her existence, but decides she can't marry him; finally in a battle royale with the Blood Syndicate against the Demon Fox, Kwai and the Demon Fox apparently destroyed each other, leaving the 9-year-old Nina Lam surviving. Later in the Static Shock: Return of The Cool mini-series, Nina is shown meeting with the Syndicate, and apparently attempting to transform back into Kwai by saying her name, reminiscent of the 'SHAZAM' transformation of DC's Captain Marvel. Although she is rendered unconscious before she can say the word, she is later seen in the form of Kwai, implying that she has been granted a 'normal life' as Nina, with the potential to become Kwai in times of danger.
- Masquerade: a shapechanger able to assume the form of any animal (including humans), Masquerade was a woman who concealed her true nature from the rest of the Syndicate by transforming into an idealized male version of herself. 'He' fled the Syndicate after reflexively stealing several thousand dollars from them. A brief encounter later failed to convince him the Syndicate had changed their ways, and he would not be killed for his betrayal. 'He' returned in the guise of a resurrected Rolando Texador (Tech-9), hoping to be accepted as their leader. As leader, Masquerade was responsible for the Syndicate instigating the Utopia Park riot.
- Oro: Miguel Medina is a former police officer who survived the Big Bang as a member of the Riot Squad. After the Big-Bang, he was for a time a member of the Shadow Cabinet but was kicked out, and later framed for the murder of his ex-partner. He subsequently sought refuge with the Syndicate and helped protect their territory. He can fly, project energy blasts and produce blinding visual displays. Being an ex-policeman, he took some time to win the respect of the rest of the Syndicate, having to endure the nickname 'Oral' for some time.
- Tech-9 (or Tech): Rolando Texador, formerly leader of the Force Syndicate, had the ability of "talismanic telekinesis", making him able to shoot endless quantities of bullets from any and all guns, with perfect accuracy. He could also materialize guns in his hands; his favored was the Tech-9 semiautomatic handgun, which he takes his name from. Charismatic and with military training, he masterminded the Syndicate's formation and led them in their raids on crackhouses; unfortunately, his flesh spontaneously melted off his bones when his superpower destabilized.[12] Later in the series, Masquerade impersonates Tech-9, having sided with the Demon Fox. He is the inspiration for the character Tech (a super-genius Bang-Baby, like Gear/Richie Foley) from the 2000-2004 Static Shock animated series.
- Third Rail: The son of Korean immigrants, Pui Chung is able to absorb any form of energy and use it to grow in size and strength.
- Wise Son (or Wise): Hannibal White, leader of the Syndicate after Texador's death and a Black Muslim ("Wise Son" is a Qur'anic reference), is invulnerable and has superstrength. Although he is able to, for instance, shave his head (as he did in 1997's Wise Son: the White Wolf miniseries by Ho Che Anderson), he is completely immune from physical harm. Wise Son was responsible for stopping the Utopia Park riot, chronicled in the Milestone crossover event 'Long Hot Summer', after Masquerade, disguised as Tech-9, persuaded him to use the Utopia Park PA system to appeal for an end to the violence. He has also shown the ability to resist mental manipulation, and to survive the draining of large quantities of his lifeforce. He is the father of Edmund White, and has sole custody.
Other characters[edit]
- Babe - Bodyguard of the House of L'Amour beauty salon, and possibly lover to its transvestite beautician. As a Bang Baby, he resembles a humanoid blue ox. Seen in issue #27 "Possessions" - returning to the House of L'Amour after being held by S.Y.S.T.E.M. (originally, he was distraught after returning from S.Y.S.T.E.M. with an enhanced—more muscular—appearance).
- Bubbasaur/Bubbasaurus - Bubba Brown, able to turn into a huge dinosaur-like creature resembling a carnotaurus; introduced in issue #11 as a spurned student going after a high school principal—Carlos Quinones Sr. (Fade's father) -- though Bubba Brown was seemingly killed in a fight with Fade (Carlos Quinones Jr.), he was picked up by Mom's S.Y.S.T.E.M. troops and taken to Garden Station. He joins in an escape attempt by the other prisoners.
- Demon Fox - The Demon Fox is a Chinese mystical being and emotional vampire who first appears in issue #6. It is awakened by John Wing, leader of the Demon Fox Tong, when he killed his wife in order to unleash the Demon Fox (this is in response to being humiliated by the Blood Syndicate after failing to kill them). The Demon Fox finally strikes in issues #7 & #8 as it tears apart the Blood Syndicate, and brings up the darkest secrets of each Syndicate member. After defeating the group, the Demon Fox kills Wing after granting his wish. Afterward, it is defeated by a newly transformed Kwai (previously Nina Lam) who comes to the rescue of the Blood Syndicate. The Demon Fox aided Masquerade in imitating Tech-9 - by giving Masquerade some of Tech-9's essence so she can assume leadership of the Blood Syndicate; in issue #35, "The Beginning of the End" - in an all-out battle royale between the Demon Fox and Masquerade vs the Blood Syndicate - Kwai and the Demon Fox destroy each other.
- Edmund and Cornelia - Wise Son's (illegitimate) son and little sister, respectively. They frequently visit him at the factory the Blood Syndicate call home, regardless of the constant danger they place themselves in. The two children have a teleportational ability; they can write a location or person on a mirror and enter, encountering what they desire.
- Mom - head of the Amber Cell of the S.Y.S.T.E.M./Coalition & heading the research into creating custom-made Bang-Babies and controlling them. Mom runs the Garden Station, the command center for the Amber sector of S.Y.S.T.E.M.
- Templo - Juan Templo; a telekinetic and one of the founding Blood Syndicate members, was first seen in issue #9 "Fade to Back" in December 1993—the origin of the Blood Syndicate following the Big Bang is seen; the Blood Syndicate believed Templo was killed—but in issue #19, "Collections", Templo is seen alive in a hospital. In issue #21, "Retrievals", Templo is seen at the Garden Station where he is revived by Mom's scientists; in issue #24, "Things Fall Apart" Templo, along with others (Karess, Babe, Masquerade, Oro, and the Cross Station survivor) survived the Garden Station war. In issue #26, "Prodigals", Templo along with Mistress Mercy and Rose go to the church of Father Francisco.
- White Roaches and the Rats -- two groups of vermin who acquired human characteristics during the Big Bang, they are now large, intelligent, and (especially in the case of the White Roaches) hostile.
Other media[edit]
- Versions of other Syndicate members have also appeared in the Static Shock cartoon, and a subsequent incarnation of the Syndicate, led by former member Pyre, in the final issues of Icon's self-titled series.

[PHOTO] Historics: Maybe Blue Rhythm | Mon, 18 Jun 2001 23:18:24" />
Hi everyone,
Here's a photo of an oldie from my Alberta garden. My best guess after
reviewing all photos on the HIPS site is that it is "Blue Rhythm" although I
do not consider it a blue colour really - more of a purple tone. It has a
grapey-soapy scent as well. Very tall (and I guess hardy - since it survived
the "tall bearded killing winter" of last year).

UPDATE 2: My Beacon Journal story on this is here.
From the Knight Foundation: Mingling in plain clothes amongst the crowds, more than 650 Philadelphia singers burst into a performance of Handel's Hallelujah Chorus last weekend at a downtown Macy's.
Mouths dropped. Shoppers pointed, laughed and smiled –becoming a part of a growing group of people witnessing "Random Acts of Culture" in eight cities across the United States.
Funded by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, the Random Acts of Culture series brings classical artists out of the performance halls and into the streets and our everyday lives. Think Mozart at the Food Court. A tango in an airport terminal. Or in Saturday's case, the Hallelujah chorus from Handel's Messiah orchestrated by the Opera Company of Philadelphia. [Video available at www.RandomActsofCulture.org]
With the help of local partners, Knight Foundation will produce 1,000 Random Acts of Culture over the next three years in eight cities: Akron, Ohio; Charlotte, N.C.; Detroit, Mich.; Macon, Ga.; Miami, Fla.; Philadelphia, Pa.; San Jose, Calif. and St. Paul, Minn.
"Not everyone can make it to see the opera, or the ballet. But when you get a taste of it – even for just a few minutes – you feel the magic that the classical arts bring to our lives," said Dennis Scholl, Knight Foundation's vice president/arts.
Continues after the jump. Hoping to add more details about Akron involvement later.
Those who don't happen upon a performance can get that sense of awe online: Videos of the performances are available at www.RandomActsofCulture.org.
"We are honored to be working with Knight Foundation on this
forward-thinking initiative that recognizes live, public performance as a meaningful way to extend the reach of the classical arts beyond our theater," shared David B. Devan, executive director of the Opera Company of Philadelphia. "By providing much-needed resources for these Random Acts of Culture, Knight is allowing new audiences to experience the joy of performance in a most visceral and unforgettable way."
Knight Foundation's arts program invests in projects that enrich and engage communities.
"Like little else, the arts have the power to bring people together, and to create the shared experiences that strengthen communities," Scholl said.
In addition to the Random Acts of Culture series, Knight Foundation's arts program also runs the Knight Arts Challenge Miami and Philadelphia, community-wide contests to fund the best ideas for the arts. The foundation also funds other projects – from promoting African dance to digitizing museum collections – in eight cities.

We welcome anyone interested in voicing their opinion about any issue which interest them in addition to joining and contributing your own articles or leaving a comment in the text box provided.
The Pen Is the Sword
We would indeed like to hear from A&R artists, songwriters, novelists, screenwriters, how-to writers, horror writers, poets, literary agents, educators, scientists, almost anyone who is associated in some way with writing or academics, whether a professional or layman makes no difference. Between the deadly effects of viruses or the pen I can't distinguish which is the more powerful. Or the one to most to be feared. Perhaps both. Here at Global Babbler your opinion is highly revered.
No Comment Is Unimportant
Those who pitch their songs online to recording artists are encouraged to write a comment about up-to-date changes in the songwriting & recording industry. Moreover we look forward to experienced novelists who can share advice with those who seek qualitative information on the art of writing. In contrast to this, politics, economics, foreign affairs, women's issues, human rights, the global environment, alternative energy, are also issues which are covered by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, and are open for discussion at the forum or in a blog because it is the First and Second Amendment upon which this website takes its stance. Keep this univocal thought in mind, Global Babbler is not a social media network like Google+, Facebook, Twitter or some others.
One of the major changes in the twenty-first century so far for writers is publishing online. Such online stores as Amazon.com, Alibris.com, Barnes & Noble.com, can make potential novice-writer's chances, greater and even more competitive, since these online retail bookstores reach a huge customer base all over the world. But keep in mind, as a novice, getting rich is not the main objective. Meaning self publishing is a very corrupt, competitive business and not for the get-rich-quick seeker.
On the other hand standard brick & mortar publishing houses are still a viable resource for authors even in 2014, moreover these publishing houses are slowly upgrading their methodologies to be more competitive with online retailers like Amazon or Alibris by going online themselves to compete.
This means the old ways of publishing nevertheless are now taking a back seat to the power of the Internet and so the brick & mortal publishing houses must get fully involved with the self publishing business or get out altogether. Moreover this definitely means overseas markets are up for grabs and some hawkish businesses readily understand the stark implications of this.

Oklahoma State pulls upset of No. 1 Kansas
STILLWATER, Okla. - James Anderson scored 27 points, Keiton Page was perfect on four 3-point tries at crucial times and Oklahoma State denied a bid by No. 1 Kansas to go undefeated through Big 12 play with an 85-77 victory Saturday. The Jayhawks (27-2, 13-1) had won their last 13 games since losing at Tennessee to close nonconference play and suffered their second loss of the season just hours after No. 2 Kentucky also lost to the Volunteers. The last time the top two teams lost on the same day was Jan. 21, 2006, when No. 1 Duke lost to Georgetown and No. 2 Florida lost to Tennessee. Both of those teams were 17-0 at the time. Students stormed the court after Oklahoma State (20-8, 8-6) moved to 3-1 against top-ranked teams all-time at home and likely removed any doubt of whether it would make the NCAA Tournament for a second straight season. Despite entering the game in seventh place in the Big 12, the Cowboys had an RPI of 33.It was OSU's first win against a No. 1 team since beating Oklahoma on Feb. 4, 1989, and the landmark victory came in the same season the program got its first road win over a top-10 team in 52 years. Vols withstand Wildcats KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - J.P. Prince had 20 points and Scotty Hopson added 15 and No. 19 Tennessee withstood a late rally to upset No. 2 Kentucky 74-65, handing the Wildcats just their second loss of the season. It was the second major upset of a highly rated program this year for the Volunteers (21-7, 9-5 SEC), who also knocked off top-ranked Kansas last month. The Wildcats (27-2, 12-2) had trailed by 19 early in the first half but managed to tie the game at 65 with just over two minutes left before Prince and Hopson scored the final nine points to clinch the victory. NO. 6 KANSAS ST. 63, MISSOURI 53 MANHATTAN, Kan. - Curtis Kelly had a double-double, Jamar Samuels scored 14 points and Kansas State (24-4, 11-3 Big 12) overcame an ugly first 15 minutes to pull out a defense-dominated victory over Missouri (21-8, 9-5).
