Global Village Assistant Volunteer
Habitat for Humanity International (HFHI) is seeking an energetic, proactive individual to volunteer in the role of Global Village Assistant for the Habitat for Humanity Brazil office. This volunteer assists in the Global Village department with hosting and communicating with future and current Global Village teams of volunteers who come to Brazil to help build homes with Habitat for Humanity. This position will be based at the national office in Recife, Brazil.
*Majority of time is spent in the field with int'l groups on 1- to 2-week home-building trips.
*Upbeat, enthusiastic, and problem-solving individual needed, and one that would equally enjoy working side-by-side with the teams.
*Must be equally comfortable speaking in English and Portuguese.
A recent survey ranked São Paulo as the tenth most expensive city in the world (up eleven places since last year), and Rio de Janeiro as the twelfth (rising seventeen places). New York, North America's most expensive city is at number 32, making Brazil the most expensive country in the Americas. The figures concerning the housing situation in Brazil are staggering. Brazil has between 6 and 8 million fewer houses than it needs, and the poor are the most impacted by this deficit. People earning a monthly salary of US$1,000 or less account for about 90 percent of the housing deficit, which is expected to remain stable for the next decade.
The greatest needs are in the northeast and southeast areas of the country. In the cities, there is urban overcrowding and housing deterioration. It is estimated that more than 50 million Brazilians currently live in inadequate housing conditions. Most of these families have an income below the minimum wage of roughly US$350/month. According to data from several sources, 26 million people living in urban areas lack access to potable water, 14 million are not served by a trash collection service and 83 million are not connected to sewage systems.
Habitat's work in Brazil began after an extended period of severe rain in December 1987, which displaced many families in the city of Belo Horizonte, capital of Minas Gerais in the southeastern region of Brazil. With the support of Methodist Communitarian Center of São Gabriel quarter and the approval of a construction project of 100 homes, work officially began in 1992. Habitat for Humanity Brazil has now helped build over 3,400 homes in six different states throughout the country.
Brazil is the largest country in South America, bordering Venezuela, Colombia, Guyana, Suriname, Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay, Argentina, and Uruguay. The official language of Brazil is Portuguese, and Brazil is the only country in South America to have roots stemming from Portugal. Brazil has been an economic powerhouse for the last few years, and there are many international banks located in the country. This makes banking for foreigners very easy. Sao Paulo is a very large city with a population of 19 million people, making it the largest city in Brazil. The city is commonly called Sampa to locals, and holds more than 60% of the Brazil's GDP. Sao Paulo is known for its art and museums, as well as great public spaces.
The weather in Sao Paulo is also pretty temperate year round, however it does get hot and humid in the summer, and cool and rainy in the fall. Brazil is also known to have great food. Some typical dishes found in Sao Paulo are: Tutu a mineira (mashed beans, roast pork, cabbage, and rice), Pao de Queijo (cheese bread), Acaraje (fried shrimp pie), Virada Paulista (rice, beans, bananas, and meat), Feijoada (black beans with meat rice and kale), Pastel (fried pies with different fillings), and Churrasco (barbecued meat). There is also an abundance of beaches that many Brazilians take advantage of on a regular basis.
*Computer Set-Up
*Bus tickets to work, cell phone (but not phone credits) office set-up, Global Village trip expenses when accompanying a team

^ If you two going to carry on, do it in a private chat. Right now, you're both simply flaming and off-topic. Anyways, Tryndamere can be slightly OP in unranked normals. He's usually perma-banned in ranked 3s, simply because you NEED to have a team build around countering him. In 5s, he's balanced, because there are an additional 2 people which brings a whole lot more CC to the table. In 3s, you need to build a team with either high CC or 2+ exhausts in order to shut him down.
All you have to do is harass trynd and prevent him from farming and late game he will be nothing or there wont even be a late game. I never have a prob against trynd even if im range unless a feeder feeds him -.- like any champ if they are fed they are op..unless its new champs like op voldabear or fizz lol. also! if he ticks u off get THORMAIL!!!! Oh and I also agree with Fish sticks comment!
Senior Member
Anyone who tries to defend the OP beast that is Trynd is just trying to keep their little pubstomp champ from getting nerfed. Trynd is OBVIOUSLY broken.
^ 1ring knows haha, even if your captain kicked me off, when did i beg to come back or anything? o.o I left on my own ha! I was literally the team :P Without me your team isn't going anywhere. No offense
D Dragneel
Right now the elo is kinda mis matched....heck my team remade after we got out ranking we got paired again the top 3 teams the next three games -.- where is the fairness in that!! On topic... Yes in normals trynd is normally very OP unless the enemy team built to counter him...(which comon how many normals do that!) As trynd i have messed around getting 4-5 deaths purposly giving feed just to give them a chance...but by that time im usually so farmed (he also farms like a **** beast) that it doesn't matter i 2-4 shot their squishies and take out their tank in less than 10 shots. (with 2.0 attack speed that is rougly 5 seconds at MAX)
If undefended nexus and you are trynd priority: try to win to do: slice to nexus obstacle + atack the nexus + ult = gg If cannot get the turret at time priority: scape. to do: slice or flash the nexus obstacle = safe scape. Repeat this many times as needed. Honestly, there is no needed skill to win with tryndamere in 3vs3.

HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL: Bobcat seniors leave home field with victory
Central claims second straight 20-win season
SAN ANGELO, Texas - In terms of playoff seeding, nothing was on the line Saturday at Nathan Donsky Field as the Central Bobcats and Permian Panthers met in the District 2-5A regular-season finale.
But to the Bobcats' seniors, playing their last game at home, with a chance for a second straight 20-win season, the game did have a special meaning.
Central went back to a formula that had worked time and time again in 2014, getting a few key hits when it mattered and relying on a dominant pitching and defensive performance to earn a 5-1 win to close the regular season.
Bobcats senior starting pitcher Brock Barger threw a complete game five-hitter, striking out nine and yielding just one run in the victory.
His performance backed up a complete-game shutout from Davis Martin on Friday as Central (20-7-2, 13-3 in 2-5A) appears locked in heading into the bi-district baseball playoffs next week against El Paso Montwood.
"We wanted to go into the playoffs on a high note. You always want to be peaking at the right time," Central head coach Patrick Penry said. "We came out a little flat from the long trip, but we came through with some big clutch hits, and Brock's performance on the mound was exactly what we needed. He had nine strikeouts and took care of business.
"When we get our starting pitching in the zone, we are a tough team to hit and a tough team to beat."
Central junior right fielder — and leadoff hitter — Clay Wegner had a big day after the bottom of the Bobcats lineup kept giving him opportunities with runners on base.
Wegner went 3 for 4 with a double and a triple and three RBIs in the victory.
His two-run triple over the right fielder's head in the sixth gave Central some breathing room ahead 4-1. Martin followed with a run-scoring single to left to cap the scoring.
Catcher Luke Barber, the team's No. 9 hitter, had the other multi-hit day for the Bobcats going 2 for 3. Central's 7-8-9 hitters had four of the Bobcats' eight base knocks on the day.
"Anybody in our lineup can get on base or hit a home run, it seems like," Penry said. "It is always 'Who is it going to be today?' They take that attitude up there. That whole team is full of unselfish players. They are ready to come up when their name is called."
Central found out it would play Montwood in the middle of the game against Permian, as the Rams won a third-place seeding game 8-4 over El Paso Franklin on Saturday.
Penry said Central and Montwood have agreed to play a three-game series next weekend with Game 1 beginning at 4:30 p.m. Friday, likely in Midland.

Leslie squirms on her unexpected date with the old man, then gets drunk with Brendanawicz, both of which were the pinnacle awkwardness.
The look Tom gives the camera when he realizes that the geezer is Leslie's date is nothing short of priceless.
Ann tears into Mark, who's turned out to be quite the d-bag.
Interestingly, the original pilot had Mark cashing in his favor from Ron for the sub-committee not because he admired Leslie's optimism, nor because he felt bad for her because Tom and April were making fun of her, but simply because he had met Ann and needed an excuse to keep seeing her.
Meanwhile, Andy seems like a tool but is really... no, he's also a tool.

Whatever you thought of gym class, the current debate over childhood obesity has made PE more relevant than ever. As the website for First Lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move campaign informs us, kids need "60 minutes of active and vigorous play every day to grow up to a healthy weight." Some schools are even using video games to lure kids to the gym. In an ideal setting, PE doesn't just improve fitness — it also reduces stress, strengthens friendships, and improves self-confidence and self-esteem.
Is your child getting the physical education he needs? Check out our grade-by-grade guidelines to see what kids should be learning in PE.
PE should be fun, fostering social interaction and not just physical fitness. In fifth grade, kids take part in activities to increase their cardiovascular fitness, strength, and flexibility, while also learning new skills, including cooperative play, teamwork, and sportsmanship.
Children are also introduced to a variety of team sports such as flag football, volleyball, and field hockey. Gymnastics and dance help teach other lessons including balance.
To help them grasp the basics of physical conditioning, fifth graders should study up on major muscle groups and learn about targeted stretches. "Understanding muscle groups and body systems helps students understand how exercise contributes to good health," says physical education specialist Amy Kaiser. "It's fun to try to name the muscle you're stretching."
PE isn't just about sports. Students should also learn to play cooperative games throughout the year. By working with a partner, they can learn to cooperate on a shared goal, and teachers can emphasize the importance of displaying good sportsmanship, win or lose.
"Sportsmanship is such an important quality," says Kaiser. "Being able to recognize that everyone has something to contribute to a group or team is a sign of maturity and good sportsmanship."
It's not uncommon for fifth graders to take fitness tests at school, which are to measure their level of aerobic conditioning, muscle strength, and muscle flexibility. "Fitness tests are a gauge to see where a child [stands]. Children can look at their results and set goals to increase or practice skills in order to improve the next time."
Beyond exercise, fifth graders start to understand how to integrate healthy habits into their lives. Students should learn to eat well, sleep enough, and manage stress. Teachers often include lessons about diet and nutrition, lessons that help them sustain the physical skills they learn in PE.

Watch St. Vincent Almost Force Stephen Colbert Out of Character
Plus, see Annie "Vinnie" Clark perform "Digital Witness" and "Birth in Reverse"
Annie Clark's interview on The Colbert Report last night, which you can watch above, starts with Stephen asking whether to call her St. Vincent or Annie. Or "Vinnie" — it turns out all are fine. The chat ends with Clark raising the mind-expanding possibility that Colbert himself might, get this, not be presenting his true self on TV (!!!). In between, the two race to name their many siblings while Colbert helps cut through the intellectual framework of Essential new album St. Vincent by comparing her hair to Albert Einstein's and asking questions like, "You're something of an art rocker — can I enjoy your music or do I have to get it?" When she talks about trying to "live at the intersection between accessibility and lunatic fringe," he says, "That's the corner of Paxil and Prozac." At her use of the phrase "techno shamanism," he expresses incomprehension. Colbert's a pretty clever guy, though, so Clark — we're sorry, Vinnie — might have a point about that whole "we perform ourselves in a myriad of ways" thing, after all.
Watch her, ahem, perform "Digital Witness" and, as an online exclusive, "Birth in Reverse," below.

You constantly choose according to your desire. When you are full of sexuality you will see women, if you are a man; or if you are a woman, you will see men. When sexuality disappears you stop seeing man and woman, you stop dividing that way. It simply does not matter. It is pointless.
The first thing that you see in the other is whether he is man or woman. Have you watched it. You never forget it. You can forget everything - you can forget the name of the person, the face of the person - but you never forget whether the person is man or woman. Why? Have you ever forgotten that about anybody? Have you ever wondered whether he is man or woman? "I knew him twenty years ago. I don't remember his name, I don't remember his face, I don't remember anything about him.." but have you ever wondered whether he was man or woman? No that you remember. That goes deep in you - because of nafs. The first thing you look into is whether the person is man or woman.
Just a few days ago it happened that a Japanese man took sannyas and Mukta told me that he was a she - some mistake from the office on her chart. So I gave him sannyas and gave him a "Ma" name, but he was a man. And you know the Japanese, they are so polite they will not say no. I have heard that the Japanese have no equivalent word to no, they always say yes - hai. They are just being polite.
So he accepted even that. He didn't say, "I am a man. I am not a woman." Only later on was it known that he was a man and I had given him a "Ma" name.
What happened? When you don't have nafs you don't look into another's sexuality. That doesn't matter. That does not matter at all. You are not concerned with the form of his body - whether he has breasts or not, whether he has a beard or not. You don't see it that way. Once nafs has disappeared, once the desire-nature has disappeared, the other is a person, a pure person. Maleness, femaleness are irrelevant facts. Who bothers? Otherwise those are the most pertinent and relevant facts. The first thing that you see in the other is a reflection of your nafs.
Sufis say nafs is the state where man exists, and through nafs there is no possibility of seeing God - because nafs can only see sexuality, money, power. Nafs is blind to God. Unless you drop nafs you will not see God - and God is everywhere. Only God is. All is God. Nothing else is. But you will not see God, you cannot see God. To see God you will have to drop nafs.
Why does nafs become such a barrier? What exactly is nafs? Nafs is a neurotic hunger which cannot be satisfied. That's why it is neurotic - because there is no way to fulfill it. The more you fulfill it, the more it grows. Nafs is a constant hankering to have more - of whatsoever. If you have money you want to have more money, if you have a beautiful woman you want to have a more beautiful woman, if you have power you want to have more power - always more and more and more. Now this more cannot be satisfied. In the very nature of things the desire for more cannot be satisfied - because whatsoever you have, your desire for more remains.

text: This remarkably faithful and moving screen adaptation of Michael Cunningham's Pulitzer Prize-winning theme and variations on Virginia Woolf's novel "Mrs. Dalloway" stars Nicole Kidman as the English author who committed suicide in 1941, and Julianne Moore and Meryl Streep as two of her literary and spiritual heirs. Ms. Kidman's Woolf is one of the most disturbing portraits of mental imbalance ever brought to the screen. Ms. Moore (as a depressed Southern California housewife in 1951) and Ms. Streep (as a book editor in contemporary New York) give richly shaded portrayals of intelligent high-strung women on the verge. David Hare's lean, incisive screenplay and Philip Glass's churning minimalist score fold stories that take place in different eras into a single timeless plane. Ed Harris gives a furious, anguished portrayal of an eminent poet dying of AIDS. — Stephen Holden

I did it, today was the day, I had the hit gym came in to the changing rooms afterwards to get showered, and I have always enjoyed being nude but I have only ever done it within my home (usually just my bedroom) but I decided today after seeing every other man in the changing room 'bareing it all' to whip the boxers of and walk straight to the showers and back to my locker (I used to do it in just my boxers and shower in them) Although I was trying to hide my self a little bit whilst getting dried I felt comfortable and free, I think the reason being was they were mature men all naked too.
I believe the majority of people who are accepting to being nude in public where acceptable are those over the age of 30, I know for sure if the changing rooms was full of people 13-25 all nude aswell I would have never have done it as there is that stigma of my dick is bigger than yours hahaha. Maybe this opinon is just me I dounno, share your opinons aswell. As for now good bye

I never thought I'd be comfortable being around naked people until I moved to Hawaii where I frequented some wonderful clothing optional beaches. It took me awhile to get totally naked myself, but once I did it was the most liberating feeling. Suddenly not only is it okay for others to see you naked, but you realize naked or clothed, we're really all the same. We all have (basically) the same parts, and they're nothing to be ashamed of. For me, the shock value didn't last long at all because I was always in such a large group, and it's just what was done. It's such a healthy exercise, and I totally believe it can help resolve the majority of people's body image issues.
Posted June 16 2010 - 10:29 AM
There's really no places in Missouri that are clothing-optional or accepting of nudists. The most I could do around my friends are walking around in underwear and bras as well because they are uncomfortable with it. At least I can be naked in my apartment.

To let a troll/ rager single out on of your teammates and harass them is ALMOST as bad as doing it yourself. To allow him to do this is to condone his behavior. It is the same as watching a bully pick on someone at school, except here your game is at stake. The problem is, everyone is too scared to speak up, because they think they will be banned, but it is VERY easy to confront a bully without using bannable language, and it is the duty of anyone who not only tries to uphold the "summoners code" but if you want a less lame reason, just don't let a fellow person and fellow teammate get harassed, no one likes it. DO NOT sit by and let bullies be bullies. The added benefit of the team trying to talk down a bully is, when the tribunal sees the card, they can see who is at fault immediately. And if the troll or trolls try to counter-report you, the chat will also show that everyone on the team sat opposite of the troll, and it will not only be the two of them going back and forth. Remember that, as soon as a negative thing is said, it is out there and floating around. Let's not pretend like everyone who plays the game is a super strong-willed, perfect manly man that can just mute the bully and be OK after. Sometimes, there are a few exchanges before a mute is really needed. By that time, the player's game is already brought down a notch, and he knows that one of his teammates not only stands against him, but will not be able to communicate with him for the rest of the game. Please do not let the fear of the tribunal stop you from helping out your fellow gamers, and from helping to make the REAL community you engage and interact with everyday a better place. Let's not forget that on the other side of every computer is a guy trying to have a good day, banging away at the same keys you are.

As much as I like this post maybe you should also put this in the General Discussion because trolls do not only troll on dominion but also Summoner's Rift and Twisted Treeline.
This needed to be said everywhere
I like the sentiment I think the OP is going for, but you need to be really, really careful. There's an extremely fine line between "defending player X against being bullied by player Y" and "ganging up with player X to bully player Y". A lot of these fights look completely different to people on the outside (I.E. Tribunal) than they do to people on the inside. Like 99% of the time the people who are getting reported believe that they're morally allowed to be jerks because of self defense or something, but that doesn't apply in LoL. If you're scrapping with someone else, even if it's to defend a teammate, to an impartial third party it often just looks like two people scrapping, with both of them believing that the other guy is a total jerk who deserves it. There are ways to combat bullying without getting into shouting matches with bullies. You can be a positive influence on your team, if you think a teammate is getting picked on, make a point to congratulate them when they do well (be careful to phrase it so they don't think you're being sarcastic, though, lol). You can try to reduce tension by joking around (if you can create an environment where everyone knows you're just playing to have fun, then suddenly a lot of "insults" sound more like joking around and people get offended by them less). There are lots of ways you can support your teammates without yelling at them. But please be careful that it doesn't become using "I was defending him from a jerk!" as justification for being a jerk yourself. That way lies raging and banning and "omg why was I banned when this other guy was a jerk too" threads.
steady the boat
If people are jerks in game, tell them to shut up and keep playing. If they keep on, you've got a mute option (press tab, little chat bubble right next to their name), and a report option at the end. As a side note, I've seen this happen a few times now in DD inhouses. If you feel the need to point out failures in a nonconstructive manner, don't join them. We all ask new players to hop into DD and join an inhouse from time to time so they can learn in a friendly environment that is free of bad manners and full of learning opportunities you simply can't find in soloqueue. If you want to know what isn't helping dominion grow, its veterans not knowing how to critique in a useful manner.

"I want to be with those who know secret things or else alone."
It is good he had Rilke.
"CY TWOMBLY excites art critics in ways that perhaps no other American abstract artist does," observed this paper in 2004. In part this was because he was one of the few Abstract Expressionists left who was not only alive but also still grappling with canvas. But his work (dubbed "post-Abstract Expressionist") can also be difficult, full of scratches and phalluses, filth and the occasional lofty classical allusion. His mix of subversive vulgarity and grand ideas earned him zealous followers and not a few detractors. Indeed it is this divisiveness—this singular ability to excite—that has helped to secure his place as one of America's most important postwar painters. But little of this attention seemed to affect the man, who was always something of a loner. He had long traded America for Rome, where he could paint in peace and read his Rilke, far away from the noise of the art world. This was where he died on Tuesday, aged 83.
On the eve of the painter's 80th birthday and just before his 2008 retrospective at the Tate, Philip Hensher, a British novelist and art critic, traced the arc of Twombly's career for Intelligent Life magazine. We have republished the tribute in full below. Twombly's work can also be seen at the Dulwich Picture Gallery in a show that juxtaposes his paintings with those of Nicolas Poussin.
1961: "The Italians" (above)
Cy Twombly was born in Lexington, Virginia, in 1928, the son of a baseball pitcher. From this out-of-the-way spot, events took him to the sources of modernism. In 1951-52 he studied at the Black Mountain College in North Carolina with some of the central modernist refugees from Nazism, and met big figures such as Franz Kline and Robert Motherwell. Twombly moved to Italy in 1959, and ever since he threw his first sculptures into the Tiber as a propitiatory act, he has had an almost magical connection to it, while working at an angle to both the European and American traditions. "The Italians" is a noisy and chaotic evocation of city life. Italians have been drawing penises on walls since as far back as Pompeii, and Twombly's painting calls up both contemporary scribbles and the nameless ancient artists whose rude commentary survives along with the walls of ancient Rome.
1962: "Leda and the Swan" (right)
By the early 1960s Twombly had an international reputation, sealed by a show at the 1964 Venice Biennale. His deep involvement with the grandeur of classical myth could take a surprising turn. "Leda and the Swan" has a hint of the Looney Tunes about it, plunging us into the uproar of the impossible copulation with a thicket of scribbles and flying feathers.
1968: "Synopsis of a Battle" (above)
The image of chalk on a blackboard drew Twombly, as it drew a very different artist, Joseph Beuys. For Beuys, the blackboard was the image of authority and power. For Twombly, it is the moment where knowledge and fantasy meet. His white-on-black paintings have the air of pedagogy let off the leash. They don't convey anything; their meaning and even their mood is not easily readable. What is there is a characteristic pleasure in the recorded gestures of the body, and a love of academic imagery running riot. Twombly's work is the recovered dreams of a history professor, and he starts from the loose, hypnotic blackboard scribbles which are made before thinking is embarked upon, or perhaps after.
1984: "Hero and Leander 1" (right)
Twombly had worked as an army cryptographer, and some of his paintings are puzzles to be solved. "Hero and Leander 1" is a welter of dark greens, reds and blacks. This great Hokusai wave is a tsunami of passion, not just a natural phenomenon. What the rest of the triptych records might be the period after some great cataclysm. The violence passes, leaving only a dark mutter of paint sinking like treacle, and finally a huge rippling surface. These are not recordings of violence, but meditations on its aftermath and its creative power.
1985: "Wilder Shores of Love" (right)
Writing on paintings is like voice-over in films: violently frowned upon by the purists. It's an important part of Twombly's manner. Here, the pictorial aspect is an abstract allusion to one of the classical forms of landscape painting. The huge scrawled title, though, leads us right up to something cryptic and private, a message sent to a very few people. The more the painter writes, the less we know how to read.
1993-94: "The Four Seasons 1-4" (below)
The four seasons are one of the key subjects of Western art. They form a satisfying whole, and in the past would have supplied a rich patron with a beautiful and showy cabinet of treasures. A four-part work can surround the owner and transform the year into a four-sided room. Twombly's "Four Seasons" reduce the conventions to their basics. In "Winter" the treatment is nothing more than a sooty black scrub, tinged with a very dirty-looking yellow. Yellow runs through these seasons like a principle, but each painting handles it in a different way. By "Summer" it has taken charge, and the blaze is that of a Roman summer.
In the 1980s and 1990s, Twombly took an increasing interest in flower painting. The lovely bouquet-like structures which frame "Spring" have grace as well as force; the explosions of red and yellow falling down the canvas are expressions of pure spirit, and not representations of reality. There is an unexpected realism to the cycle, most evident in the dankness of "Winter" and the light-obscured fury of "Summer". The triumph of Twombly's career is his ability to take historical subjects from their cabinets and reinvigorate them with new, outdoor life and energy. The cycle of the seasons in nature has no beginning and no end, but Twombly's sequence does something perverse in beginning with autumn. His "Autumn" is a burst of final energy, and not what we usually mean by "autumnal". It reinforces the sense, apparent throughout his career, that he is a painter towards the end of painting's history.

"I want to be with those who know secret things or else alone."
It is good he had Rilke.
While Twombs had abstract expressionist friends, your are playing with a very sticky wicket to put him in this movement. If anything his work seemed to separate itself from AE.
You've got to be kidding me. Looks like the scribbles in the margins of my old high school notebooks, except mine were better! Are these his best works? Seriously??
I wish that The Economist undertakes an economic evaluation of the Cy Twombly phoenomenon as a whole.
For how much money he represented the pretext to change hands, who are the winners and who the loosers gamblers on his actions, galleries, marchants, critics and historians, journalists, museums audience, collectors, auctioneers,...
I am not aware of the existence of an algorithm measuring the economic performances of an artist as well as their splitting between the various factors gravitating around him and I am missing it.
"Twombly is of a later moment than Abstract Expressionism. His work transforms Ab Ex into something wholly new: the interest in understatement vs. monumentality."
Point well taken. 1984: "Hero and Leander 1" speaks to me.
With AZqdvjJgru, the philistine reception of Twombly's work marches on. But it is true, as guest-wnssnsm points out, that Twombly is of a later moment than Abstract Expressionism. His work transforms Ab Ex into something wholly new: the interest in understatement vs. monumentality.
I have only recently been exposed to Twombly's work. I am almost speechless, I do not regard myself as a philistine, or a person with a closed mind. I like to think my journey through the art world has always excited, challenged, informed, at times dumbfounded and developed me. Twombly I just cannot get, I really, really cannot. I know he is expressing his thoughts, feelings, deep emotions and impressions in his work, and that is fine, but I truly cannot see any artistic or creative merit in it. I understand the classical and literary references but his interpretation of them does them no justice. Perhaps I'm a philistine after all, or perhaps this is my big hurdle or perhaps it is a good illustration of the power of the "kings new clothes"syndrome.

Thunder back on track
UNDATED (AP)— After suffering an unexpected home loss to Cleveland Friday night, the Oklahoma City Thunder got well against the lowly Charlotte Bobcats in a big way, 122-95. James Harden scored 22 of his career-high 33 points in the first half. Kevin Durant had 26 points and Russell Westbrook added 23.
The Thunder improved to 18-2 at home, rebounding from a disappointing 96-90 loss to visiting Cleveland on Friday night.
In the rest of the NBA:
— Derrick Rose had 24 points and 13 assists, Carlos Boozer scored 27 and the Chicago Bulls pounded the Utah Jazz 111-97. Kyle Korver scored a season-high 26 as the Bulls got back to their winning ways after their eight-game win streak ended Thursday.
— Rodney Stuckey had 20 points and eight assists and Brandon Knight scored 19 first-half points as the Detroit Pistons routed the Toronto Raptors 105-86.
__Portland rebounded from its lopsided loss in Boston Friday night by beating Washington 110-99. LaMarcus Aldridge scored 30, his fifth 30-plus point performance of the season.
Bad news for Timberwolves
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The upstart Timberwolves will keep chasing a berth in the NBA playoffs, but rookie sensation Ricky Rubio (ROO'-bee-oh) won't be of any help from here on in. Minnesota has announced that the flashy point will miss the rest of the season after tearing the ACL in his left knee during Friday's loss to the L.A. Lakers.
It also means that Rubio will miss the upcoming Olympics, where he was expected to be a vital part of Spain's bid for the gold medal.
Flyers riding a hot goalie
UNDATED (AP) — Ilya Bryzgalov (IHL'-yuh brihs-GAH'-lahf) made 29 saves for his third shutout in the past four games and Claude Giroux scored the only goal in the shootout and the Philadelphia Flyers earned a 1-0 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Bryzgalov made his 11th straight start in goal for Philadelphia. His biggest save came on a Phil Kessel breakaway in overtime. He also denied the Leafs forward in the shootout to preserve the victory.
Jonas Gustavsson made 27 saves for the Maple Leafs, who've lost seven straight home games.
Toronto is six points back of the eighth-place Capitals in the Eastern Conference heading into Sunday's game at Washington.
In the rest of the NHL:
— Marek Zidlicky and David Clarkson scored 14 seconds apart in the final two minutes of the third period to rally the New Jersey Devils past the New York Islanders 2-1.
— Jeff Skinner scored two goals, Cam Ward made 36 saves in his 199th NHL win, and the Carolina Hurricanes beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 4-2.
— Tyler Ennis scored in regulation and then added the winning goal in the shootout to give the Buffalo Sabres a 4-3 victory over the Ottawa Senators.
__The Capitals have broken a tie with idle Winnipeg for the eighth and final playoff spot in the NHL's Eastern Conference playoffs. Alexander Semin (SEHM'-ihn) had a goal and an assist to lead Washington to a 4-3 road win over Northeast Division leader Boston. The Caps' second straight victory following a three-game winless streak pulls them within one point of idle Florida for first place in the Southeast Division race.
__In the only other NHL matinee, Colorado beat visiting Edmonton 3-2 in a shootout. Milan Hejduk (MEE'-lahn HAY'-dook) and Peter Mueller (MEW'-lur) scored in the shootout and Semyon Varlamov (sehhm-YAWN' vahr-LAH'-mawf) stopped both shots he faced. The win keeps the Avalanche within striking distance of the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference race.
Mizzou wins its final Big 12 title...Wildcats and Tar Heels win close ones
UNDATED (AP)--On their way out the Big 12 door en route to the Southeastern Conference next season, the fifth-ranked Missouri Tigers decided to take the Big 12 tournament title with them.
Tournament MVP Kim English capped a phenomenal conference tournament with 19 points, Phil Pressey added 15 points and eight assists, and the fifth-ranked Tigers beat No. 12 Baylor 90-75 to win their second Big 12 championship in the past four years.
English wound up 29 of 40 from the field in a virtuoso performance in Kansas City. Michael Dixon added 17 points, and Ricardo Ratliffe and Marcus Denmon had 15 each.
Perry Jones III led Baylor with 16 points and 11 rebounds.
— Top-ranked Kentucky will be shooting for a 25th straight win when it plays Vanderbilt for the SEC tournament title on Sunday. The Wildcats are 32-1 after a hard-fought 74-71 victory over No. 22 Florida in the semifinals. Anthony Davis led the way with 15 points and 12 boards. Erik Murphy scored nine of his game-high 24 points in the closing minutes to keep the Gators in it to the end.
— North Carolina also survived an upset bid. The fourth-ranked Tar Heels beat N.C. State 69-67 in the ACC semifinals. Tyler Zeller scored a game-high 23 points for the winners before fouling out late in the contest. Kendall Marshall banked in a shot with 10.2 seconds remaining and North Carolina came up with a pair of defensive stops to edge their state rival
— Sixth-ranked Duke was upset by No. 17 Florida State, 62-59 in the second ACC semifinal. The Seminoles lost a 10-point second-half lead before coming back to earn the school's second trip to the ACC final. Duke sharpshooters Austin Rivers and Seth Curry both missed 3-pointers in the final six seconds. The loss ends Duke's run of three straight tournament championships.
— No. 7 Ohio State had little trouble moving into the Big Ten title game. The Buckeyes routed 10th-ranked Michigan 77-55 in the conference semifinals. Jared Sullinger led the way with 24 points while teammate Deshaun Thomas scored 22. The Buckeyes shot 49 percent from the field to earn a shot at their third straight Big Ten tournament title.
— Michigan State will play for the Big Ten title for the first time in 12 years following a 65-52 victory over No. 14 Wisconsin in the conference semifinals. Draymond Green led the eighth-ranked Spartans with 14 points and 16 rebounds.
— Tony Snell made four 3-pointers in the first half and finished with 14 points, and Drew Gordon had 12 points and 12 rebounds as New Mexico overpowered top-seeded and 18th-ranked San Diego State 68-59 to win the Mountain West Conference tournament championship. Coach Steve Alford's Lobos are headed to the NCAA tournament for the second time in three seasons.
Knight takes step out of father's shadow...Buffs take Pac-12 on first try
KATY, Texas (AP) —Lamar defeated McNeese State 70-49 in the Southland Conference tournament championship, sending Pat Knight into the NCAA tournament for the first time as a head coach.
The Cardinals have won six in a row since Knight ripped his seniors after a Feb. 22 loss, saying they were "stealing money by being on scholarship."
Lamar is returning to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2000.
Pat Knight is the son of former coach Bob Knight, who led Indiana to three national championships.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Colorado, a rookie newcomer in the Pac-12, decided to create some freshman mischief. The upstart Buffaloes captured the Pac-12 tournament on their first try by beating Arizona 55-53. The Buffaloes shot just 38 percent, making just 19 of 50 shots, but that was good enough to take home the Pac-12 hardware. Freshman Spencer Dinwiddie scored 14 points as Colorado goes to the NCAAs for the first time since 2003.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Top-seeded Memphis won its sixth Conference USA tournament championship by beating Marshall 83-57. Joe Jackson led five Tigers in double figures with 19 points.
Memphis won its seventh-straight game to improve to 26-8 and grab the league's automatic NCAA tournament berth.
STONY BROOK, N.Y. (AP) — Vermont scored just five points over the final 9 1-2 minutes but managed to hold off Stony Brook 51-43 in the championship game of the America East tournament. The Catamounts secure their fifth NCAA tournament bid and second in the last three years.
Tournament MVP Brian Voelkel had five points, 15 rebounds and seven assists for Vermont, which improves to 22-11.
CLEVELAND (AP) — D.J. Cooper scored 23 points and Ohio had to nervously wait through a TV replay in the final seconds before beating Akron 64-63 in the championship of the Mid-American Conference tournament. The Bobcats are in the NCAAs for the second time in three years.
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) —Norfolk State held on to beat Bethune-Cookman 73-70 for its first Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference title and first NCAA tournament berth. Kyle O'Quinn was high man for the winners with 18 points.
Redskins moving up
WASHINGTON (AP) — Desperate for a franchise quarterback, the Redskins are paying big-time for a shot at Robert Griffin III.
The St. Louis Rams have agreed in principle to trading the No. 2 pick of the draft to Washington in exchange for the Skins' first- and second-round selections this year, plus first-round picks in 2013 and 2014.
Because of the NFL calendar, the trade can't be completed until Tuesday.
The Redskins are advancing four places from sixth in the April draft, leapfrogging any other team that would have an interest in the Heisman Trophy winner out of Baylor. The Indianapolis Colts are expected to take Andrew Luck with the No. 1 choice.
Are Cards next?
TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — The Peyton Manning stakeout moved to Arizona on Saturday, but there has been no sign of the superstar in the desert.
The former Indianapolis Colts quarterback, and the NFL's only four-time MVP, spent nearly six hours at the Denver Broncos' facility on Friday, and speculation was high that the Cardinals would be his next stop.
Vikes dump salary
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings have shed three established starters and more than $13 million in payroll in preparation for free agency.
The Vikings are saying goodbye to five-time All-Pro left guard Steve Hutchinson, right guard Anthony Herrera and cornerback Cedric Griffin. All three have been in Minnesota's starting lineup for the better part of the past five seasons or more.
Stenhouse hits it big in Vegas
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Defending Nationwide champion Ricky Stenhouse Jr. led the final 54 laps at Las Vegas Motor Speedway for his first victory of the season.
Stenhouse had a strong car all day and dominated the end of the 200-mile race, pulling away from Mark Martin on a pair restarts on the 1.5-mile tri-oval in the desert. Martin ran second.
Watson increases advantage
DORAL, Fla. (AP) — Bubba Watson took a one-stroke lead into the third round of the Cadillac Championship. He'll bring a three-stroke lead into Sunday's final 18 holes. The long-hitting left-hander fired a 5-under-par 67 to get to 17-under for the tournament.
PGA champion Keegan Bradley fired a 66 to pull into a second-place tie with England's Justin Rose, who carded a 69.
Only three players are within five shots of the lead after 54 holes of the World Gold Championships event.
Top-ranked Rory McIlroy shot a 65 and at 9-under is on the same number as Tiger Woods, who signed for a 68.
McNeill assumes lead
RIO GRANDE, Puerto Rico (AP) — George McNeill carded a 5-under 67 in round three of the PGA Tour event in Puerto Rico, and at 13-under leads by one stroke with 18 holes to play. Henrik Stenson and Kevin Stadler are tied for second after shooting 65 and 66, respectively.
McNeill is trying to win for the first time since the Frys.com Open in 2007 when he was a PGA Tour rookie.
Canadian dies after skicross crash
GRINDELWALD, Switzerland (AP) — Canada's Nick Zoricic (ZOR'-uh-chihk) suffered fatal head injuries during a crash late in a World Cup skicross event in Switzerland.
He's the second Canadian skier to die this season.
Zoricic was 29 years old. He was a veteran of more than three years on the circuit and was competing in his 36th event.
In January, 29-year-old freestyle skier Sarah Burke died following a training accident on a halfpipe in Utah.
Vonn's quest stalls, Ligety still in the hunt
ARE, Sweden (AP) — Lindsey Vonn skied out during the second run of a World Cup slalom in Sweden, hurting her chances of becoming the first female skier to reach 2,000 points in a single season.
The American remains stuck on 1,808 points with four races to go and 400 points still on the table at the finals in Austria.
Germany's Maria Hoefl-Riesch won Saturday's race by one-hundredth of a second over Slovakia's Veronika Zuzulova.
KRANJSKA GORA, Slovenia (AP) — Ted Ligety (LIHG'-eh-tee) of the United States won the season's penultimate World Cup giant slalom, keeping alive his hopes of claiming a fourth season title.
The two-time defending GS champion trails leader Marcel Hirscher by 92 points with one race remaining. Ligety has to win it and hope the Austrian fails to claim any points.
ARE, Sweden (AP) — American Hannah Kearney won her second World Cup race in two days. The Olympic champion took first place in the dual moguls in Sweden.

I am planning a trip to Red River New Mexico. I am wondering if anyone has had experience with open carry there. I am planning on 4-wheeling up in the mountains and carrying my .41 Redhawk in case of bears or other two legged critters. I have a Texas CHL so concealed is an option but I would like to know all my options.
Thank You.

Internet cafés have sprung up all over Puerto Vallarta and even small surrounding towns and villages, making e-mail by far the easiest way to get in touch with people back home. At PV Café you can enjoy a sandwich or a salad and coffee while downloading digital photos, scanning documents, or surfing the Web (30 pesos per hour). It's open daily from 8 am to 11 pm. Get a discount when you purchase blocks of Internet time.
If you're bringing a laptop with you, check with the manufacturer's technical support line to see what service and/or repair affiliates it has in the areas you plan to visit. Carry a spare battery to save yourself the expense and headache of having to hunt down a replacement on the spot. Memory sticks and other accessories are usually more expensive in Mexico than in the United States or Europe, but are available in megastores such as Sam's Club and Office Depot as well as mom-and-pop computer shops.
The younger generation of Mexicans is computer savvy and there are some excellent repair wizards and technicians to help you with problems; many are bilingual.
Cybercafes. This website lists more than 4,000 Internet cafés worldwide. www.cybercafes.com.
Starbucks (www.starbucks.com.mx.)
The area code for PV (and the northern Costalegre) and Nuevo Vallarta is 322; San Francisco's is 311; between Bucerías and Sayulita, 329; Lo De Marcos and Rincón de Guayabitos, 327; San Blas, 323. The Costalegre from around Rancho Cuixmala to San Patricio–Melaque and Barra de Navidad has a 315 area code.
The country code for Mexico is 52. When calling a Mexico number from abroad, dial any necessary international access code, then the country code, and then all of the numbers listed for the entry. When calling a cell phone in Mexico from outside the country, dial 01152 (access and country codes) and then 1 and then the number.
Toll-free numbers in Mexico start with an 800 prefix. These numbers, however, are billed as local calls if you call one from a private phone. To reach them, you need to dial 01 before the number. In this guide, Mexico-only toll-free numbers appear as follows: 01800/123-4567. The toll-free numbers listed simply 800/123-4567 are U.S. or Canadian numbers and generally work north of the border only (though some calling cards will allow you to dial them from Mexico, charging you minutes as for a toll call). Numbers listed as 001800/123-4567 are toll-free U.S. numbers; if you're calling from Mexico, you'll be charged for an international call.
To make an international call, dial 00 before the country code, area code, and number. The country code for the United States and Canada is 1. Avoid phones near tourist areas that advertise in English (e.g., "Call the U.S. or Canada here!"). They charge an outrageous fee per minute. If in doubt, dial the operator and ask for rates.
Directory assistance is 040 nationwide. For assistance in English, dial 090 for an international operator; tell the operator in what city, state, and country you require directory assistance, and he or she will connect you. There's no charge for the former; the latter can be dialed only from a home phone, as the charge appears on the monthly phone bill.
Much less often seen today, a caseta de larga distancia is a long-distance/overseas telephone service usually operated out of a store such as a papelería (stationery store), pharmacy, restaurant, or other small business; look for the phone symbol on the door. Casetas may cost slightly more to use than pay phones, but you tend to be shielded from street noise, as you get your own little booth. They also have the benefit of not forcing you to buy a prepaid phone card with a specific denomination—you pay in cash according to the calls you make. Tell the person on duty the number you'd like to call, and she or he will give you a rate and dial for you. Rates seem to vary widely, so shop around. Overall, they're higher than those of pay phones and, with the extensive cell phone and Internet services now available, fewer and farther between.
Using a prepaid phone card is a relatively inexpensive and convenient way to call long distance within Mexico or abroad. Look for a phone booth away from traffic noise; these phones are tucked behind three sides of Plexiglas, but street noise can make hearing difficult. If you're calling long distance within Mexico, dial 01 before the area code and number. For local calls, just dial the seven-digit number; no other prefix is necessary. If calling abroad, buy the 100-peso card, the largest denomination available.
Most pay phones only accept prepaid cards, called Ladatel or TELMEX cards, sold in 30-, 50-, and 100-peso denominations at newsstands, pharmacies, and grocery stores. These Ladatel phones are all over the place—on street corners, in bus stations, and so on.
Older, coin-only pay phones are rarely encountered; those you do find are often broken or have poor connections. Still other phones have two unmarked slots, one for a Ladatel (a Spanish acronym for "long-distance direct dialing") card and the other for a credit card. These are primarily for Mexican bank cards, but some accept Visa or MasterCard, though not U.S. phone credit cards.
To use a Ladatel card, simply insert it in the appropriate slot with the computer chip insignia forward and right-side up, and dial. Credit is deleted from the card as you use it, and your balance is displayed on a small screen on the phone. You'll be charged about 3 pesos per minute for local calls, 4 pesos per minute for national long-distance, and 5 pesos for calls to the United States or Canada. Most pay phones display a price list and dialing instructions.
If you have a multiband phone (some countries use different frequencies from those used in the United States) and your service provider uses the world-standard GSM network (as do T-Mobile, Cingular, and Verizon), you can probably use your phone abroad. Roaming fees can be steep, however: 99¢ a minute is standard. And you normally pay the toll charges for incoming and outgoing calls. It's almost always cheaper to send a text message (or at least to receive one, which is sometimes substantially cheaper than to send).
If you just want to make local calls, consider buying a new SIM card (note that your provider may have to unlock your phone for you to use a different SIM card) and a prepaid service plan in the destination. You'll then have a local number and can make local calls at local rates. If your trip is extensive, you could also simply buy a new cell phone in your destination, as they go for around $30 and sometimes come with a couple hundred prepaid minutes to start you off. The two cell phone carriers in Mexico are MovieStar and TELMEX; minutes can be purchased at their offices or more conveniently at OXXO convenience stores, Guadalajara pharmacies, or other locations.
If you travel internationally frequently, save one of your old mobile phones or buy a cheap one on the Internet; ask your cell phone company to unlock it for you, and take it with you as a travel phone, buying a new SIM card with pay-as-you-go service in each destination.
There are now companies that rent cell phones (with or without SIM cards) for the duration of your trip. You get the phone, charger, and carrying case in the mail and return them in the mailer. Daystar rents cell phones at $6 per day, with incoming calls from the United States at 22¢ a minute; it costs 30¢ a minute for domestic calls or $1.19 per minute to call the United States.
