 		[UPDATE] Sentinel - Feb 13 - Leitmarks, Snow

Virtual Leitmarks Debut on Earth
By ALEXEI FAIRETOURE

Virtual leitmarks debuted on the leaderboard last week, after months of quiet discussion between Mind Candy and the Academy. According to Academy Master Sente Kiteway, the move is a "long-needed way to signal the accomplishments of the people on Earth who are doing so much to help us."

The awarding of leitmarks on Earth brewed a scandal early last year when the Academy awarded them to 333 people who had volunteered to try to locate the stolen Receda Cube. As a result of the furore, the Academy has been reluctant to award additional leitmarks. Now, though, according to PCAG Chairman Robert Zhi-Hui, "There has been a real change in sentiment. ... Now, the city is willing to see that the people of Earth are truly earning this kind of recognition."

These new virtual leitmarks are awarded based on total points earned by solving cards. Red leitmarks are awarded at 950 points, orange at 2,300, yellow at 4,500 and green at 5,900. Academy sources say the leitmarks are available through to black and silver, but the points level are being held under close guard until they have been earned.

In other news, the leaderboard has seen the number of people sharing the top spot swell to 56, with Jaded69 and pharzo sharing 57th place, each with one more cardsolve to join the pack at first. Only six of the top 56 hail from a country other than the United Kingdom; 12 of the top 56 are women, though another three persons have chosen not to reveal their gender.

As expected, the leaderboard has burst through the five-million-point mark, and has already surpassed 5.3 million. Over 200,000 points have been earned in the past week alone, and the average player has now accumulated 536 points. PCAG statistician Samara Jones has indicated that the growth has been maintaining a steady rate, but added, "some acceleration may be possible in the coming days, due to the increased level of press exposure seen on Earth, and Mind Candy's push to increase awareness of our plight in the North America region."

Freak Snowstorm Buries City

The city was caught by surprise when an unexpected snowstorm brewed late last week, dumping the city under a record-breaking amount of snow. "The conditions were a bit of a shock to us," said meteorologist Bart Hollis. "It's exceedingly rare to see a severe storm brew so rapidly."

By Madame Bianca, for the week of February 13

The Baby (February 11 - March 10)
Feeling a little overwhelmed, huh? You may think Madame will tell you to feign illness to get out of your obligations, but not this time. Put your head down and just work through it, muffin.

The Eagle (March 11 - April 10)
The little gift you picked up for your friend turns out to be a much bigger deal than anyone could have expected. Don't let it trouble you too much, there was no way you could have predicted it.

The Spider (April 11 - May 10)
You are going on a long journey -- by which I mean, you will be going on a very short trip, but it will take a ridiculously long amount of time to get there. Don't leave home this week without a bottle of water and a snack in your bag.

The Wave (May 11 - June 10)
This week, you'll finally find time to start into that novel that's been languishing away on your night table. The bad news: as it turns out, it wasn't so much worth the wait. Don't feel obligated to read the whole thing, doll.

The Archer (June 11 - July 10)
An old incident that resulted in a minor injury is knocking around in your brain this week. Thanks to the magic that is muscle memory, this vastly increases the chance that you'll do precisely the same thing, so think twice before you show off that dance step.

The Half-filled Jug (July 11 - August 10)
Poor nutritional choices this week leave you with a cold by Friday, just in time to spoil your weekend. If you want to salvage that dinner with the gang, start munching those carrot sticks, sugar.

The Dragon (August 11 - September 10)
Weight of the world on your shoulders. Again. You know, sometimes you can be downright tiresome with all of this moping and melancholy. Here's what you should do: even if you don't feel great, pretend you do for the rest of us, OK?

The Three Balls (September 11 - October 10)
This is a terrific week for you to start angling in on a major goal. Pick what you want this year, pumpkin, and then make a plan to get it; if you do it by Wednesday, the stars will make it happen for you.

The Dice (October 11 - November 10)
Up, down, left, right, nobody knows where you'll be next. If you want everyone to stop tiptoeing around you and your wicked mood swings, why don't you cut the coffee and start going to bed at a decent hour? No, really. You'll be amazed.

The Maze (November 11 - December 10)
Love is in the air, sweet pea, whether you want to admit it or not. Sometimes to move forward you have to swallow your pride and just keep going. Sure, you don't have to, but if you don't, you'll never get away from your personal cul de sac of the heart.

The Apple-Thief (December 11 - January 10)
And, friends, that call me back from decline, seek out remedies for unsound hearts: I shall bear with fortitude cauterisation and knife, If only I'm free to speak as my anger wants.

The Hand (January 11 - February 10)
This week, you will develop a maddening aversion to xylophonic music. I suggest you stay away from grammar schools, circuses, and remedial music classes. Other than that, this will be the most staggeringly eventless week of your life. Enjoy.

And remember, a drunkard will tell you the truth.

 		PS. Mme Bianca, your abilities are not only supernatural but interplanar. Now tell the 3P to melt all that snow in NYC.

 		Interesting, that record snow. They had a freak heat wave in the summer too. Random, or cube related? And then there's the sudden unexplained rise in the percentage of multiple births.

 		Possibly cube related, but it could just be that there was a big snow storm in northeast US, where MC is now. New York got something like 22 inches of snow. I only got about 12 inches in Boston.

"I saw a policeman up to his neck in snow today. I said, 'Having a bad day?' He said 'This is nothing. You should see my horse'" XD
