Faustin's Mansion
Faustin's mansion is the home of Faustin Family leader Mikhail Faustin, his wife Ilyena Faustin and his daughter Anna Faustin in Grand Theft Auto IV.
Located in the affluent Beachgate district of Broker, Liberty City, several missions from Faustin in GTA IV start here, and it is where the player first encounters him. On the driveway by the mansion, Mikhail's Turismo will usually spawn, unlocked, an unusually good car for the stage in the game at which the player is at. In several missions, Ilyena's white DF8-90 will also appear.
After Mikhail's death, Ilyena and her daughter are forced to sell the house to pay debts. She spends much of her time at the local amusement park, where the player may encounter her as a random character.
- Around the back of the mansion, go around past the parked Turismo, turn left. And near the back doors, there is a long red blood stain leading to the Firefly Island Beach.
- The radio station that plays in Faustin's mansion is Vladivostok FM.

The Houston Free Thinkers, in tandem with LocalLiveHouston are throwing a benefit to expose censorship and "free the press" from political pressures as well as the fact that LLH only plays Houston music - uncensored - 24/7. The benefit will be at Mango's Cantina this Friday, Oct. 21st [there is a conflicting date listed on the actual HFT website, but I have confirmed that it is indeed Friday].
The Houston Free Thinkers "manifesto," according to the groups Facebook page, is as follows:
"This page is dedicated to exposing the crimes and plans of the super rich global elite, what some refer to as The New World Order. This is not politics, it is not left, or right, liberal or conservative. This is how the world looks when its not filtered through the lens of the corporate mass media.
"This is an information war, and Free Thinkers Are Dangerous."
While Friday night's benefit is not strictly about corporate media malfeasance, all the bands playing support the cause as well as LocalLiveHouston, a radio website designed to showcase any and all Houston music in whatever form it takes. But whether you agree with the reasons for the show or not, there will be some stellar local talent gracing the Mango's stage and it is a show not to be missed.
So far, the bands slated to play are as follows:
- Justice Allah of The 144 ELiTE: "The 144 ELiTE world is about AgreeAbles vs. DisAgreeAbles. Positive over Negative Lyrics. The MUSIC focuses more on a Spiritual Vibe. Not the Big Baller / Player / My Big House, Car, and Gold Chain Rap. You'll like it." –DOPE E of South Park Coalition
- Days N' Daze: A so-called "riotfolk" band, they claim to be "punk, folk and ska's goofier younger sibling." Imagine the Descendents' Milo Aukerman singing and playing an acoustic guitar like he wants to kill it with an added female singer to round out the rough-edged mix.
- Broken Quote: Sole member David Schrier suffers from a chronic pain disorder that almost forced him to quit music altogether. Luckily for music fans everywhere, he overcame the disappointment and depression that came from such a diagnosis to create Broken Quote, an electro-industrial soundscape of ambience and near-dancibility.
- Vivian Pikkles and the Sweethearts Übe Alles: Houston's reigning champs of potty-mouthed lo-fi complete with fuzzy guitars and drums that sound like they could possibly be five gallon pickle buckets.
- Papaya: A world beat conflagration "created by the Universe through its Ghost Host known as Fernando 'Don' Alejandro," Papaya draws influences from sources as disparate as Sun Ra, Fela Kuti, Afrika Bambaataa, John Lennon and Bill Hicks.
- A Dream Asleep: Named best hardcore band in the Houston Press' 2009 reader's poll, the band is currently in contention for best Experimental/Noise band. Screaming vocals and on-a-dime changes, along with extremely high energy on-stage antics make A Dream Asleep one of Houston's most challenging and exciting bands, both live and recorded.
- Last Ones Left: Metalcore growling vocals and thrash tempo place the Last Ones Left in the same ballpark as A Dream Asleep. Their goal is to spread the gospel of LOL "like a damn disease." Judging from their name, said disease perhaps has something to do with zombies.
Doors open at 7:30, the music kicks off at 8:00. Come out and support freedom of information! Oh, and be sure to save your energy for the last two bands of the night. You're gonna need it.

Escape with us and you'll find striking beach scenery in northeastern Trinidad, along the road to Toco and San Souci. All you will need for this self-guided adventure is a rental car, a Trinidad map, and a desire to see one of the most dramatic areas in Trinidad. By contrast Tobago beach photos, and pictures of Trinidad beaches from the islands south are subdued.
Toco and Beyond
Toco - the name given to this area by the native Caribs - is the most northeastern village on the island.
It is the domain of hidden coves, diminutive bays, and seldom trod beaches, where every curve in the road is likely to reveal another opportunity for you to capture stunning tropical beach pictures. In this corner of Trinidad the Trade Winds often whip Atlantic swells against the rocky coastline, spewing foam skyward with each relentless broadside. But...
Toco is also the realm of steep, soft-sanded beaches, which make perfect leatherback sea-turtle nurseries.
Beach Scenery Tour
Our journey starts in earnest at Sally Bay in Salybia, just before the Rio Seco waterfall hike turnoff, where the Rio Seco River enters the Atlantic through a small fresh water lake beach-side.
It's a good idea to have someone concentrate on driving, while you take the pictures because the road is often narrow and it can difficult to park. Pull aside for a brief respite, and a cool drink at Arthur's Bar in Rampanalgas. This is a picturesque area where seaside homes dot the coastline.
Guyamara Beach
Guyamara Beach is one of the most moody and visually exciting beaches in the area. You'll not find beach scenery like this every day. Luckily, you can't miss it because the meandering Toco Main Road passes right alongside the beach.
This is definitely not a beach for swimming; rather its drama makes it the domain of photographers, painters, picnickers, beachcombers, and sometimes fishermen. It's difficult to drive past without stopping. You'll be inspired to spend the day capturing memorable tropical beach pictures of Guyamara's changeable and inspiring beach scenery.
This is truly Caribbean scenery you'll want to remember.
Toco Lighthouse
The next stop on our dramatic northeastern coastal tour is the Toco Lighthouse Park, where your best pictures will be captured early in the day.
Galera Point Lighthouse is where the most easterly point of Trinidad faces the full onslaught of the Trade Winds, a force of which sculptures and manicures the Sea Grape trees into tight windswept hedges. It's where the Caribbean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean, and the closest point to Trinidad's sister island, Tobago.
Great tropical beach pictures are easy to capture in the Toco area especially at: Galera Point, where native Caribs, fleeing the Spanish after the 1699 Arena Uprising, threw themselves off the cliffs into the perilous sea below rather than suffer further Spanish oppression; La Fouray Beach, hidden away just to the south of Galera; and the more typically Caribbean beach scenery in the Toco ares, Salybia Beach and Patience Bay.
Trinidad's Northeastern Coast
Beyond Toco, beach scenery photo opportunities abound as the narrow road hugs the coastline to reveal sunlit images of small sultry bays along the relatively deserted Paria Road – an oddly named stretch of road that doesn't actually reach Paria Village, or the untamed Trinidad beaches of Paria, Petit Tacarib and Grande Tacarib.
Other than on public holidays you'll find the Paria Road relativity free of traffic, with only the occasional surfer seeking a better ride somewhere further along the coast, and the odd villager on their way into Sangre Grande - the closest major town.
Toco's Caribbean History
To give you some perspective:
Trinidad history records that Toco did not escape the dramatic pull-and-tug of Europe's Caribbean ambitions. In 1631, without knowledge of the Spanish, English forces landed and occupied Toco, only to be expelled 6 years later by the Dutch, who in turn were ousted but the Spanish shortly thereafter.
European powers were not interested in beach scenery, they were looking for harbors from which to attack richly laden Spanish gallons exiting the Orinoco River - the location of fabled El Dorado.
The French flocked to Trinidad, and summarily to Toco, in the year's immediately following the 1783 Cedula of Population, when the country was still under Spanish rule. The land was too poor for sugar cane, so cotton became the crop of choice, with as many as 59 cotton mills in the area.
By 1881 the country firmly was under British rule. Cocoa and coffee had become an important industry replacing cotton as the preferred crops. The demand for labor saw the population in Toco rise significantly, with people from Tobago making up the bulk of the influx.
In 1930 the road linking Toco with Sangre Grande was completed. Prior to that the only way to get to Toco - and for that matter most coastal communities including Mayaro - was aboard the round-the-island steamer.
San Souci & Big Bay
Further on along the Paria Road you will come upon Reef Break and Big Bay, beaches of the San Souci area. Reef Break, especially when there's a storm front approaching, is one of the best surfing beaches in Trinidad.
Practically virgin Big Bay is a relatively long, scenic beach, and a great place to spend the day. The best time to swim here is between May to September when currents are at their weakest, and the sea is at its bluest.
Back to Port-of-Spain
Here ends our search for dramatic beach scenery on Trinidad's northeast coast. It's time to unwind, have a picnic, swim, and enjoy the Caribbean sun, sea and sand to its fullest.
If you've planned your day well, you arrived at San Souci before mid-day and took full advantage of the early morning light to capture pictures along the way - it's about a 3-hour drive from Port-of-Spain, without stops to take pictures and explore along the way.
Start your journey back at around 4:00 pm. This will allow the Caribbean's evening light to infuse the tropical beach pictures you take on your return journey, with a warm golden hew. And there's one final thing to remember, twilight in the Caribbean passes very quickly, so be well on the way home before dark.
Here's more information about a Northeast Adventure Tour.

| Introduction
Have you been assigned community service hours by a court? As part of your probation or sentence? By your school as a requirement for a class or for graduation?
No matter the reason you have been assigned mandatory community service, there are a lot of options for you to complete your required service. This is advice to help you get started as quickly as possible and have you finished as soon as possible. This advice also might help you turn this experience from a "have to" into a "want to", into something that will benefit YOU.
Mandatory community service or a "Court Referral Program" is an alternate sentencing option for Superior, Municipal, Traffic and Juvenile Courts in the USA. These courts have the option to assign community service hours to someone found guilty of a crime, in addition to, or in lieu of, incarceration and/or a fine. Community service can also be done as a condition of probation. Community service is considered restitution by an offender through helping his or her community. The service means actions, activity, engagement -- doing something that needs to be done and that helps the community or a cause.
Therefore, your mandated community service will need to be done at a registered nonprofit organization or through a government agency, and it will have to be approved by the court or your probation officer before you begin it.
A registered nonprofit is one that has a federal tax i.d. number. If you aren't sure if an organization is a registered nonprofit, ask if they have a federal tax id number, or look up the organization on Guidestar.org, a database of all registered nonprofit organizations in the USA.
Your mandated community service probably cannot be done to benefit a community of faith (churches, synagogues, mosques, temples, etc.). Check with your probation officer, your court liaison, a teacher at your school, or whomever has assigned you with community service to make sure before you begin working with such an organization.
You may also be permitted to volunteer with a government agency, such as a public school, a city-sponsored anti-drug program, a state park or a national park, a community court, a jail or prison, etc. Check with your probation officer, your court liaison, a teacher at your school, or whomever has assigned you with community service to make sure before you begin working with such an organization.
You may also be permitted to volunteer with a for-profit company if that company provides services to the community and involves volunteers, such as a for-profit hospital, a for-profit hospice or a for-profit retirement community (but not, say, a restaurant, a motorcycle shop, a computer store, a pet store, etc.). Check with your probation officer, your court liaison, a teacher at your school, or whomever has assigned you with community service to make sure before you begin working with such an organization.
Volunteering with nonprofit organizations with religious affiliations, such as Habitat for Humanity or the Boy Scouts of America, is usually permitted, but check with your probation officer, your court liaison, a teacher at your school, or whomever has assigned you with community service to make sure. Note that you do not have to express any religious affiliation or a belief in God to volunteer for Habitat for Humanity, but you DO have to express a belief in God in order to volunteer for the Boy Scouts (and note that you do NOT have to profess any religious faith to volunteer with the Girl Scouts of the USA).
Helping family with tasks (taking your grandmother to the grocery, cleaning your mother's house, baby sitting your sister's kids, etc.) will probably NOT be accepted as your community service.
Volunteering for an organization promoting a cause that is considered political may or may not be allowed. Volunteering with a nonprofit that advocates for foreign languages to be taught in schools might be allowed while volunteering for a political party may not be. Check with your probation officer, your court liaison, a teacher at your school, or whomever has assigned you with community service to find out what is and isn't allowed.
It is your responsibility to understand the court's or school's or university's requirements for documenting your community service.
It is your responsibility to make prior arrangements with each organization where you wish to volunteer and to ask if they are able to meet your documentation requirements.
An organization has every right to fire you / let you go as a volunteer, no matter how urgently you need to complete your community service. They are under no obligation to keep you -- especially if you have missed shifts, violated policies, etc.
If you are at all worried about finding or finishing your community service hours on time, then buy a paper notebook or make a spreadsheet, and capture the name of every organization you call or sign up with to express interest in volunteering, the date you contacted the organization, date you talked with the organization (if at all), and, if the organization turned you down to volunteer, information on their reasoning. At the time you have to provide documentation on your volunteering, present this documentation that shows all that you did to find volunteering activities; it should be a list of at least 50 organizations. Your teacher or probation officer or judge may or may not give you an extension to get your hours, but they most certainly will NOT if you don't have this documentation ready to share with them.
What to Say When You Contact an Organization
When you contact an organization, don't say immediately, "I have to have so many hours of community service." Say, instead, "I want to volunteer with your organization and want to know how I can get started right away." Organizations do NOT have to take every person who wants to volunteer and, therefore, they prefer people who seem to want to be there rather than those that have to be. Once you find out about volunteering at the organization, then you say, "I will need a letter by a certain date (and provide that date) that says how many hours I have volunteered at the organization, what I did as a volunteer, etc. I have to provide this to my probation officer/the judge in charge of my case/my teacher at such-and-such highschool/university, etc. Will you be able to provide that?" If they say yes, ask how your hours of service will be tracked - you may be asked to track these hours yourself.
In answer to the question, "Why do you want to volunteer," on a form or in an interview, you should most certainly say that you are volunteering so that you can fulfill mandated community service. But you can also say something about the organization's work that you like ("I care about the environment, I think the arts are important, etc."). When you are talking with the organization during your first orientation or interview, tell them how many hours you need for your community service, and by what date.
Be honest about any and all convictions when you are filling out your volunteering application. Some volunteer roles will ask for your arrest record as well. An arrest or conviction will NOT necessarily disqualify you from volunteering (it depends on the organization, the type of work it does, the population it serves and the volunteer tasks). If your service is court-ordered or a part of your probation, you must be up-front in your interview and on your volunteering application about your conviction.
If the organization wants you to track your days and hours yourself, write your days and hours down on paper or on a spreadsheet on your computer, and keep this information up-to-date! Track the days you volunteered, the times you volunteered, and a little about what you did.
You may need to volunteer at multiple nonprofits in order to get all of the hours you need within a given time frame.
Documenting/Tracking Your Hours
Do NOT wait until your service is over to announce that you need a letter confirming your hours, or that you need to organization to sign your spread sheet. Tell the organization from the very beginning that you will need a letter stating how many hours your contributed to the organization, the start date of your service, the end date of your service, and a summary of what kind of service you provided.
If the organization wants you to track your days and hours yourself, write your days and hours down on paper or on a spreadsheet on your computer, and keep this information up-to-date! Track the days you volunteered, the times you volunteered, and a little about what you did.
Where to Find Community Service Opportunities
There are many web sites where you can find places to complete your community service:
Idealist/Action Without Borders
Voluntary Organizations Consortium of British Columbia
Idealist/Action Without Borders
Goodwill is an excellent option for volunteering, especially if you are a person trying to re-enter the workforce.
Nonprofit theaters and performing arts centers are often in need of ushers in the evenings and on weekends; you not only get volunteer hours, you get into a show for free! Call local nonprofit theaters, including community theaters, to see if they need ushers and when you could participate.
There are some one-day volunteering activities, but these fill up very quickly, even months in advance. For instance, Habitat for Humanity's house-building days are often booked several months in advance. It's worth looking into, but know that you probably won't get to volunteer for many weeks after signing up. There are also one-day beach clean-ups, river clean-ups and park clean-up activities. To find these, you will have to call various organizations: the United Way, state and city park offices, the Sierra Club, etc. When you call, say, "I am looking for any upcoming one-day beach cleanups, one-day river clean-ups, one day park cleanups, etc. Do you know of any that are coming up?" If they say yes, ask for details and if you could sign up for such.
Contact the Girl Scouts of the USA council office that serves your area and see if there is a Girl Scout day camp or single event in your area that you could help with as a volunteer (please note that, if you are volunteering as a part of court-ordered community service, certain arrests and criminal convictions will prevent you from volunteering with the Girl Scouts; always be honest about past arrests and criminal convictions).
Each individual chapter of the American Red Cross involves volunteers in a variety of ways. Many chapters are looking for volunteers to help with warming centers in the winter, for instance, for the overflow from homeless shelters on days and nights that are at or below freezing (and unlike most homeless shelters, these often allow the homeless to bring their pets). You could be a volunteer in the office just a few hours a month. You could help at a special event. You could be a volunteer that is on call to help people who have lost their home to a fire. You could train to become a CPR/First Aid trainer. You could be a volunteer driver, taking people with mobility issues to medical appointments. Find your local chapter of the American Red Cross and look at their web site for information about volunteering. You will have to attend an onsite orientation and, depending on the assignment, some training.
If you have been convicted of any crime related to drugs, contact nonprofits and government offices in your area that are working to stop people from using drugs and ask them if you could volunteer in some way (the United Way may be able to help you identify these). If you have been convicted of any crime related to gang activity, contact nonprofits that are working to reduce gang violence and see if you could help as a volunteer in some way.
Do not wait until the last minute to try to volunteer! You will probably need to call several places just to get an appointment for an interview! It may take two to three weeks before you get started volunteering even if you start calling right away!
Do not call a place and expect to get 40 hours of community service in one week, starting tomorrow.
Do not show up at a work site unannounced. For instance, don't just show up at a Habitat for Humanity work site and say, "I'm here to volunteer." You need to call several days beforehand and go through their formal application and orientation process.
You will have to be trained for just about any volunteering you want to do, but training will almost always be counted as a part of your community service time if you complete at least a few hours of volunteering.
If you are volunteering as a part of court-ordered community service, have at least two references who are NOT family members and could attest to the positive aspects of your character. You will need the full names, the phone numbers, the email addresses and the physical addresses for these people, ready to write on any volunteer application. These references should be former or current employers, former or current co-workers at a job, a leader at your community of faith (priest, preacher, elder, Imam, head cleric, choir leader, Pujari, etc.), a neighbor you have done work for, someone at another organization you have volunteered for, etc. Your reference could even be your lawyer or your probation officer, or even a policy officer who believes you deserve a second chance.
Online Volunteering
Most volunteering that you can do from your home or a school computer requires a certain degree of expertise, such as designing flyers, maintaining a web site, translating text, editing video, designing a database, writing press releases or funding proposals, managing online social networking activities, etc. Even if you have the expertise necessary to volunteer online, you will still probably have to go onsite to the organization you want to help, to introduce yourself, to go through their orientation, to meet staff, and maybe even to convince them to allow you to volunteer online (virtual volunteering).
Also, some courts and schools will NOT count online volunteering as part of your community service. You must get permission first before you embark on online volunteering to meet your community service obligation.
This web page provides complete information about volunteering online.
Home-Based Volunteering
Below are home-based volunteering tasks you can do that don't involve using the Internet or computers to deliver your services (though you may need to use the Internet to sign up to help). These are assignments for people who sew, knit, or crochet, and for those who want to make greeting cards for ill children or to USA military personnel. These are good options if you have a criminal record that might prevent you from easily-finding volunteering opportunities onsite at nonprofit organizations.
HOWEVER, note that none of these organizations will track hours for your, and many may not supply you with a letter that confirms your community service to a court, a probation officer, a school, a university, etc. Also, many courts and schools will NOT count home-based volunteering as part of your community service. You must get permission from whomever gave you mandated service first before you embark on home-based volunteering to meet your community service obligation. Be able to answer these questions: how will your hours be verifiable? how can you confirm that you are doing the service and not your parents, a sibling, a friend, someone you are paying to do it, etc.? Also, you will have to pay for all materials yourself to make these items:
Mother Bear Project, provides crocheted and knit bears to children with HIV/AIDS
Binky Patrol is an all volunteer, national, non-profit organization making and distributing homemade blankets to children born HIV+, drug-addicted, infected with AIDS or other chronic & terminal illnesses, those who are abused, in foster care or experiencing trauma of any kind. A binky is a homemade blanket that can be sewn, knitted, crocheted or quilted. the blankets range in size from three feet square up to twin bed size.
Project Linus, making blankets and crafts for sick children
Quilts of Valor (QOVs), making quilts for soldiers.
Adopt a Soldier, allows volunteers to send letters and items to soldiers.
Shawl Ministry (Christian volunteering)
Volunteer Vacations
If you have a lot of time and enough money, you can go on these volunteer "vacations", but make sure your probation officer, court liaison or school approves (in writing):
YOU are responsible for your transportation to and from a volunteering site. Choose community service activities that are near your work place and home, that you can easily get to by bike, by mass transit or by walking if you don't have a car or other reliable transportation.
The Value of Your Service
You aren't just completing mandatory service hours. As you complete your community service, you are:
If you are volunteering to help you get into a university, note that different colleges and universities have different application processes. Some ask for volunteering hours, some don't. Those that do may want you to fill out a particular form, others will want you to supply letters from the organization confirming your hours, and still others will want you to write a narrative about why you volunteered, what you learned as a part of your experience, why you think volunteering is important, etc., and don't care about number of hours at all.
Warning!: Potential Scams Re: Community Service
There are a growing number of companies, some nonprofit, some for-profit, that claim if you pay them a fee, or if you will donate a certain amount of money to them, they will provide you with a letter for the court, your probation officer, a school, etc., saying you have performed a certain number of community service hours. I've blogged about some of them here. One of the companies even charges a monthly fee for users to track and report their community service hours - something anyone can do for free on a shared GoogleDoc spreadsheet.
If it's a for-profit company, you should be able to find on their web site:
Is It Community Service Or Volunteering?
It's both! For most nonprofit organizations, the designation "volunteer" is for anyone that is not paid by the organization. Therefore, volunteers include people who are required to provide community service by a court or a school. Most organizations will treat you the same way they treat all of their volunteers. In many circumstances, other volunteers and even most of the paid staff at an organization won't know you are being required to provide community service; to them, you will be just another volunteer, like all other volunteers.

Impressive Roundup of 2009 Awards Highlights CCA Graphic Design Faculty and Alumni
Posted on Wednesday, December 16, 2009 by Sarah Owens
Bob Aufuldish was honored at San Francisco Center for the Book's "Five Treasures: The SFCB Peer Recognition Event"
Graphic Design faculty and alumni won big in 2009. Print magazine; Graphis, publishers of the eponymous international design magazine, design annuals, and numerous other publications; AIGA, the professional association for design; and the San Francisco Center for the Book all honored numerous CCA faculty and/or alumni from the Graphic Design Program—some of whom garnered multiple prestigious awards during the year.
Congratulations to each and all for a remarkable year of design accomplishments!
Awarded Faculty
Graphic Design faculty member and alum Michael Vanderbyl was honored with no fewer than five awards, collectively, from Graphis and Print magazines for his brochure, packaging, and poster design used in promoting his successful design company Vanderbyl Design.
Eric Heiman and Bob Aufuldish each took home numerous accolades in 2009.
Heiman was honored in Print magazine's regional Design Annual Awards issue for an AIGA program design and an Art Auction invitation and catalog. He also won a Graphis Design Annual Award for his work at the California Academy of Sciences.
Aufuldish was also honored by Print magazine's regional Design Annual Awards for his CCA Architecture Lecture Series poster design. In keeping his winning stride, San Francisco Center for the Book recently recognized Aufuldish at the "Five Treasures: The SFCB Peer Recognition Event," a ceremony that pays tribute to five specific persons who have contributed in the field of book design.
Awarded Alumni
Many alumni followed in similar footsteps as faculty members by earning copious design awards in 2009. A staggering 14 projects were honored at Print magazine's regional Design Annual Awards, and another eight were awarded at the Graphis Design Annual Awards. (See the complete list of awarded CCA faculty and alumni below.)
Alumna Gaby Brink (Graphic Design 1995)] won not one but two Print magazine regional Design Annual Awards for her promotional design work with San Francisco-based Frameline (producers of the San Francisco International LGBT Film Festival, the largest LGBT film festival in the world) and paper product manufacturer Crane & Co. Brink also won a Graphis Design Annual Award for her brochure design for Scharffen Berger chocolates.
Recent alumna Robyn Waxman's (MFA Design 2009) F.A.R.M. project received notable recognition this past year. The F.A.R.M. tabloid she designed as part of her thesis project (see the F.A.R.M. website) was given a San Francisco Parks Trust Innovator Award and a Communication Arts Design Annual Award. Additionally, Robyn secured a first-place AIGA (Re)design Award for nonprofit social responsibility.

I was playing around with the Frobenius map, and made a small observation.
Suppose $F$ is a field, and $F[X,Y]$ is the corresponding polynomial ring in two indeterminates. If $\text{char}(F)=p$ divides some integer $n$, then $n=pq$ for some $q$. Consider the polynomial $X^n+Y^n+1$. Then $$ X^n+Y^n+1=X^{pq}+Y^{pq}+1^{pq}=(X^q+Y^q+1^q)^p $$ so $X^n+Y^n+1$ is reducible. I hope this observation is correct.
Does the converse also hold? That is, if $X^n+Y^n+1$ is reducible, can you conclude that $\text{char}(F)$ divides $n$? I tried finding some factorization, and I think it should look something like $(X^r+\text{stuff}+1)$ and $(X^s+\text{stuff}+1)$ where $r+s=n$, but couldn't actually find an explicit factorization.

College Hockey:Bonk, Niagara Shut Out Air Force
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Niagara goaltender Rob Bonk made 26 saves en route to a 4-0 shutout of Air Force Sunday night at the Cadet Ice Arena. With the win, the Purple Eagles moved into a three-way tie atop the CHA standings with a record of 15-9-0 (6-3-0 CHA), while the Falcons fell to 10-14-0 (1-9-0 CHA).
"We played a real strong road game tonight," said Niagara coach Dave Burkholder. "We got great goaltending from Bonkers, especially early in the first period. They had about three Grade A chances in the first 10 minutes that he stopped and helped set the tone and get things going for us."
"We knew this was a big game coming in," said Bonk. "This was a four-point game and we know that if we want to contend for the CHA title, we need this in the win column. It was a good win for us after a tough loss last night at Colorado College."
Bonk's strong play to keep Air Force off the scoreboard paid off at 8:08 of the first period when Niagara scored what would become the game-winning goal. With Niagara forward Joe Tallari serving a slashing penalty, the Purple Eagles were able to score a shorthanded goal. Forward Nick Kormanyos carried the puck into the Air Force zone and sent wrist shot on net from the right faceoff dot. The shot fooled Falcon goaltender Mike Polidor and bounced off of his glove and into the net. Forward Barret Ehgoetz and defenseman Scott Crawford assisted on Kormanyos' 10th goal of the season.
Niagara extended the lead just under four minutes later, this time on the power play. With Falcon forward Tom Starkey serving a slashing penalty, defenseman Chris Sebastian fired a point shot that deflected off Air Force forward Justin Hamilton at the top of the faceoff circle and beat Polidor. Forward Matt Ryan and defenseman Mike Bozoian assisted on Sebastian's seventh goal of the season.
"They out special-teamed and goaltended us," said Air Force coach Frank Serratore. "Don't get me wrong, our goaltending wasn't bad, Poli made some big stops for us, but the other guy [Bonk] pitched a shutout. Our attitude and effort was there tonight, especially in the second and third period, but we needed to score and we didn't."
Air Force rebounded and came out strong in the second period, outshooting the Purple Eagles 9-4, and having six power-play opportunities. However, Air Force could not solve Bonk, who stopped all of the shots that came his way. Forward Derek Olson had Air Force's best opportunity of the period when he rang a shot off the post at 4:20 of the period.
"We pride ourselves on discipline," said Burkholder. "But we took some bad penalties tonight, some deserved, some not. I though our defensive core persevered pretty well though. They stuck together to kill off all of those penalties. All I know is that we don't need to practice penalty killing for the next month."
"I think our maturity showed through tonight," said Bonk. "We are a young team, but we have experience. We know that Air Force always plays hard and came ready for that tonight."
Despite a stronger period by Air Force, it was Niagara that extended its lead when defenseman Shane Baylis sprung forward Hannu Karru on a breakaway in the last minute of the period. Karru came in, faked to his forehand to pull Polidor across, then scored on a backhander. Joe Tallari also assisted on Karru's sixth goal.
The third period was played fairly even, with shots even at seven apiece. Purple Eagle forward Chris Welch scored the period's only goal when he forced a neutral zone turnover and scored an unassisted empty-net goal at 19:34.
Bonk earned his first shutout of the season and the third of his career. He improved his record to 14-6-0 with the win. Polidor stopped 22 shots in a losing effort. His record dropped to 9-11-0.
Niagara returns to action next weekend with a pair of CHA games at Bemidji State, with which the Purple Eagles are tied atop the standings. Air Force has a week off before traveling to Bemidji State for a pair on February 8 and 9.

The first annual Larry Leddige Memorial Dart Tournament was held Aug. 16-17 at The Cottonwood in Glasgow. This event is named for dart player Larry Leddige, who passed away in May 2013. Larry was a great guy who loved his family and friends and also enjoyed his darts.
This tournament is a benefit tournament, and organizers use the proceeds to give a little help to people with medical costs. It may not be much, but they hope people realize there are others out there willing to help.
This year the tournament was devoted to helping Brenda Peacher, who recently underwent triple bypass surgery....

The Washington State University football team continued preseason camp with a two-hour workout in full pads Wednesday afternoon.
The Cougars went in full pads for the second straight day and received big plays from both sides of the ball as they worked through practice No. 6 of the preseason. WSU opened practice with a couple live field goal attempts with kickers Andrew Furney and Michael Bowlin who connected from 38 and 43 yards out, respectively. The team went to work through its regular practice plan of individuals and 1-vs.-1 battles, before working through a couple periods of special teams that focused on punt coverage and kickoff coverage. One of the highlights of the day came early on in the 1-vs.-1 battles as wideout Bobby Ratliff made a one-handed catch while being knocked to the ground for the one of the better catches of camp so far.
Sandwiched in between the two special teams segments, WSU worked through its daily 7-vs.-7 session while the defensive and offensive lines matched up in a running game drill. Quarterback Connor Halliday completed a pair of passes to freshmen wide receiver River Cracraft for big gains. For the defense, freshman cornerback Daquawn Brown continued his strong first week with a pair of pass breakups. A couple plays later, freshman linebacker Peyton Pelluer dove over a receiver to pick off a Halliday pass that was dropped and batted up in the air by a wideout. Halliday went on to close his series with a long touchdown pass to sophomore receiver Gabe Marks.
Quarterback Austin Apodaca picked up where Halliday left off, completing a long pass to Vince Mayle for a big gain. The defense later picked up another interception off a deflected ball as cornerback Tracy Clark broke up a pass attempt from Apodaca and linebacker Eric Oertel came over to corral the deflection and record the INT.
In the team session, the first series was again led by Halliday who saw Mayle make another great play on a deflected pass attempt as the newcomer broke off his route and dove back to make a catch on the batted ball. In the red zone, the offense turned in another highlight play as Halliday hit running back Teondray Caldwell in stride, allowing him to turn upfield and scamper up the sideline for a touchdown. Apodaca led the second series and opened with a pair of completions to Cracraft and wide receiver Brett Bartolone. The defense buckled down for the next couple plays before Apodaca fired two touchdown throws to wideout Dominique Williams on consecutive plays from inside the 20 yard line.
WSU continues preseason camp Thursday at 3 p.m.

what program to model and how to?
hi iam new here
so how do you do model and put it into a pk3 file
what program do you use?
any help will be appreciated:)
-3D studio max 5 up to 8, which is not free
-Gmax, only for sabers and static objects
-To put into a .pk3, use winzip and rename the extension to .pk3 or use pakscape.
Just something to add, modeling isn't a skill you learn overnight.
If you really want to learn, stick to it and don't get discouraged!
Some usefull tutorials:
Texturing a (simple) model:
Hope this will help :P it did with me :)
gmax kinda doesn't works for me
the download is screwed up and it says ineed ie 5 but i have 7 soo
is there i good download?
and once i get gmax how do i use it
I just got gmax downloaded also when i start up gmax it says fatal error
Interactive 3D renderer installation failed
Please check your device settings by usin g the -H commandline option
what the hec k does that mean and can anyone PLEASE help me
iwant to make new models and stuff!!
That means you need to switch your renderer, possibly to DirectX.
Create a text file with the command line like so:
gmax -h
(gmax being the name of the executable file to launch the app...im not sure what it is so i put gmax)
save the file, rename it to .bat, something like renderer.bat, put that file where the gmax .exe file is, launch renderer.bat, when gmax starts, you should have a box appear allowing you to choose a new renderer, if directX is there, pick that, if not use openGL, in last resort pick Heidi...if available.
If all goes well, you'll be able to launch gmax as usual, without the -h option.
I thank you a million Psyk0Sith
now can anyone tell me some basic learning tips for gmax then i will be set!
Just go to the filefront forums, these forums, or to JKA Filefront tutorials. Just google it.
Go to the Turbosquid GMAX website here: http://www.turbosquid.com/gmax
...and then download everything (it's free)-- the help files, tutorials, etc. and install all of it. Then open up GMAX Help and Tutorials and work thru them. They will start you off assuming no basic knowledge and teach you how to navigate the user interface and then all the modeling stuff.
Have Fun!

First off, I don't want to do this, but the doctors want us to do what they like, and they like another hospital that does this.
The doctors want a computer that is always logged in, they want to walk up to the computer click on the application and then only log on to that application. The doctors are accessing protected information at these workstations. My boss wants to use citrix with thin clients at these workstation. If we use Citrix presents its own problems. My biggest concern is, with Citrix any user could click reconnect on the agent software and they would then have control of every session that was logged on using this system login account. That would allow them access to many patients records as if they were another doctor, invalidating our audit trail, and at the same time violating HIPAA.
Is there a good way to set up shared workstations like this?
As for an answer, I want to know how to make our citrix workstation idea work, but any idea that could make our doctors happy and still maintain HIPAA compliance would be welcome.

- The acai berry and white tea, two main ingredients in TriSlim Ultra, have numerous health benefits
- Ingredient hoodia is a popular diet supplement
- TriSlim provides very little information on the product's ingredients
- Pure hoodia gordonii is very difficult and very costly to obtain
- Contains caffeine

Fluid found around my babies heart?
So I went in for my 20 week to go over the ultrasound results. My Dr. said everything looks perfect except there was "Trace" amounts of fluid around the babies heart. I immediately freaked out & my Dr. told me not to worry, there is nothing to worry about & she promises she would tell me if there was any concern on her part & that she is very upfront with her patients. They do want to do a repeat ultrasound in 4 weeks just to be sure. I can't help but worry...I know I'm going to worry myself sick, but I need to listen to my Dr. she really wasn't concerned at all & said everything else is perfect. Anyone been through this or know anything about it?

T4 template for generating SQL view from C# enumeration
Database tables often contain columns that store "codes", or values with special meaning. In application code, these special values can be encapsulated as enumerations. This article demonstrates how to use T4 code generation templates and Visual Studio CodeModel API to generate SQL views that encapsulate the special values for use in SQL code.
In relational database design, tables often contain columns that store values with special meaning, often referred to as "codes". For example, a CRM system may use the following tables to store information about contacts and their addresses.
create table Contact ( Id int not null, Type tinyint not null, Name varchar(50) not null constraint PK_Contact primary key (Id) )
create table Address ( Id int not null, Type tinyint not null, ContactId int not null, Line1 varchar(50) not null, Line2 varchar(50), City varchar(50) not null, State varchar(50) not null, Zip varchar(10) not null constraint PK_Address primary key (Id) constraint FK_Address_Contact foreign key (ContactId) references Contact (Id) )
In this database design, Type column of the Contact table stores codes 0 or 1 to to indicate whether a contact is an individual or an organization. In the Address table, the Type column also stores codes 0 or 1 to indicate whether an address is for billing or shipping.
Special values in application code
Although we can use literal values 0 and 1 when accessing Contact and Address data in application code, C# and other modern languages allow us to define enumerations that encapsulate these codes and refer to them by name.
public enum ContactType { Individual = 0, Organization = 1 }
public enum AddressType { Billing = 0, Shipping = 1 }
With enumerations defined above, we would use ContactType.Organization instead of special code 1 when accessing Type column of the Contact table. Using enumerations instead of hard-coded literals makes the application code easier to read, but more importantly, it makes the application code easier to maintain. If, for whatever reason, we need to change value of the Shipping code from 1 to 2, we can simply change definition of the AddressType enumeration. On the other hand, if we need to change meaning of the code from Shipping to Mailing, we can change definition of the AddressType enumeration and let the compiler help us find all places in the application code where it was referenced and modify them to use the new name.
Special values in SQL scripts
Unfortunately, there is no direct support for enumerations in SQL, often forcing developers to hard-code special values in SQL scripts - stored procedures, triggers, functions and reports. For example, a report that prints a list of corporate customers (contacts of with Type of Organization), could use the following SQL query.
select * from Contact where Type = 1
This code is difficult to read - unless you know that Type 1 means Organization, you will not be able to understand it. A select statement that uses both Contact type and Address type codes would be even more confusing because the same code values mean different things for different tables, making it easy to use one instead of the other.
This code is also difficult to maintain. To change Organization code value we would need to review all SQL code in stored procedures, triggers, scripts and reports that accesses the Contact table and update all places where the special value is being used. If we forget to update a particular SQL script to use the new value, it will fail silently. For example the select statement above will return no rows or a wrong set of rows and we will need to test the application in order to find the error.
Encapsulating special values with SQL views
We can emulate enumerations in SQL code using views. The following SQL view emulates ContactType enumeration by returning a single row of values where each column represents a single value of the enumeration.
create view enum.ContactType as select 0 as Individual, 1 as Organization
Using this view, we can change the select statement from previous example like so:
select * from Contact where Type = (select Organization from enum.ContactType)
In this code, we no longer have the special value (1) hard-coded. Instead, we are now using its name (Organization). We can now change Organization code value in the view itself, without affecting the SQL scripts that use it. If we need to change the meaning (or name) of the code from Organization to Company, we can modify definition of the view and rely on the SQL engine to help us verify that all SQL scripts referencing it have been updated. If a particular SQL script still refers to the renamed Organization column of the ContactType view, SQL engine will raise an error and we will find out about it quickly.
Retrieving special values from a SQL view compared to using literal values does have a slight negative effect on performance. Jane Dallaway provides detailed analysis in her article TSQL: Enumerations and constants and describes an alternative approach based on UDF (user-defined SQL functions).
Keeping enumeration and SQL view definitions in synch
Encapsulating special values using SQL views is a great step toward making SQL scripts more maintainable. However, as the number of "codes" grows, the number of enumeration types and SQL views that encapsulate them increases. Keeping enumeration definitions and SQL view definitions becomes increasingly difficult.
Ideally, we would like to have a single definition of a particular list of special values and generate all constructs that encapsulate it in our application and SQL code. If you are using a modeling tool, such as Enterprise Architect by Sparx Systems, you may want to define this list in your tool's repository and then generate the enumeration definition for your application code and the SQL view definition for your database code. A simpler alternative is to define the list of values as an enumeration in the application code and use it to generate the corresponding SQL view.
We will use a T4 code generation template and Visual Studio extensibility APIs to parse enumeration definition from the application source code and generate a corresponding SQL view definition. Visual Studio provides Code Model framework that allows code running inside of the IDE to discover code definitions in a project and manipulate them. The following T4 template illustrates usage of the Code Model API.
<#@ template hostspecific="True" #> <#@ output extension="txt" #> <#@ include file="T4Toolbox.tt" #> <#@ import namespace="EnvDTE" #> <# CodeEnum enumeration = GetEnum("ContactType.cs"); WriteLine("Found enumeration " + enumeration.Name); foreach (CodeElement element in enumeration.Children) { CodeVariable value = element as CodeVariable; if (value != null) WriteLine("… found value " + value.Name); } #> <#+ private CodeEnum GetEnum(string enumFile) { ProjectItem projectItem = TransformationContext.FindProjectItem(enumFile); FileCodeModel codeModel = projectItem.FileCodeModel; return FindEnum(codeModel.CodeElements); } private CodeEnum FindEnum(CodeElements elements) { foreach (CodeElement element in elements) { CodeEnum enumeration = element as CodeEnum; if (enumeration != null) return enumeration; enumeration = FindEnum(element.Children); if (enumeration != null) return enumeration; } return null; } #>
When this template is included in the same project with ContactType.cs, which contains definition of the ContactType enumeration shown above, it produces the following output.
Found enumeration ContactType ... found value Individual ... found value Organization
This template imports EnvDTE namespace that defines Code Model interfaces, such as CodeEnum, which represents an enumeration defined in a source file and CodeVariable, which represents an individual value defined in the enumeration. This template also includes T4Toolbox.tt file, that provides a set of utility classes, such as TransformationContext.
Execution starts when the main code bock calls GetEnum method, passing it name of the file where enumeration is defined. GetEnum uses TransformationContext to retrieve a Visual Studio ProjectItem object for the enumeration file. Through the FileCodeModel property of this object, the code obtains a FileCodeModel object that represents all of the code in the enumeration source file. The code then uses FindEnum method to iterate through the code elements in the file recursively to find the CodeEnum object that represents the enumeration. Having the CodeEnum object, the main code block of the template iterates through its children to find all CodeVariable objects that represent values defined in the enumeration.
Having access to the definition of the enumeration, creating actual T4 template to generate the SQL view is very straightforward. You can find the complete code in EnumSqlView.tt installed by T4 Toolbox.
- Download and install T4 Toolbox from CodePlex. It installs EnumSqlView.tt and supporting templates in the %ProgramFiles%\T4 Toolbox directory on your computer.
- In a C# project, select Project -> Add New Item from the main menu.
- In the Add New Item dialog, select Code Generation -> "Enumeration with a SQL view" template. Use name of the enumeration, such as ContactType, as the file name.
- In Solution Explorer, you should see two new files added to your project.
- Define the enumeration in ContactType.cs.
- ContactTypeView.tt is a T4 code generation template that contains code similar to the following:
<#@ template language="C#" hostspecific="True" #> <#@ output extension="sql" #> <#@ include file="T4Toolbox.tt" #> <#@ include file="T4Toolbox\EnumSqlView.tt" #> <# // Generate a SQL view that encapsulates a C# enumeration for accessing // special values in T-SQL code using (EnumSqlViewTemplate template = new EnumSqlViewTemplate()) { template.EnumFileName = "ContactType.cs"; template.Render(); } #>
- EnumSqlViewTemplate is a class defined in EnumSqlView.tt
- EnumFileName property of the EnumSqlViewTemplate is a required parameter that specifies the source file where enumeration is defined.
- ContactTypeView.sql is generated by ContactTypeView.tt template and contains a SQL script that creates ContactType view in the enum schema.
- SchemaName property of the EnumSqlViewTemplate is an optional parameter that can be used to change the name of the schema where SQL views encapsulating enumerations will be created.
- Add the generated SQL file to your database creation scripts.
Wish list
Here are some of the features that didn't make the cut.
- EnumSqlView.tt currently generates a single file that contains code that creates the schema, drops and recreates the view. This does not allow to include the generated SQL file in a Visual Studio DB Pro database project, which stores a single object per SQL file. It would be nice to make the template generate code compatible with DB Pro database projects.
- On the other hand, some developers may want to generate all of their SQL views in a single SQL file. This would require EnumSqlView.tt to allow developer to specify multiple enum files, such as a list of files or all files in a given path.
- It may not be possible to encapsulate non-numeric codes with enumerations. It would be nice to generate SQL view based on a static class that contains string constants that define special values.
- In addition to the SQL view, it would be nice to generate CHECK constraints for a database column that stores codes defined in the enumeration.

Warning: If you do not want to know "Sons of Anarchy" season 7 spoilers, then stop reading.
The season 6 finale was shocking and left fans wondering what is coming next. While season 7 will not air until late 2014, there is some casting news. As stated before, Drea de Matteo has been promoted to series regular. She plays the role of Wendy, Jax's ex.
Kurt Sutter said that CCH Pounder is likely to return to the show. Pounder plays the role of DA Tyne Patterson and she is a thorn in Jax's side. Right after he agreed to turn himself in, he found Tara dead. Patterson walked into the house to find his gun on the floor and him holding his dead wife's body. It is unknown what she will do about the situation, but fans are speculating that she will try unsuccessfully to charge Jax with murder.
Peter Weller's Charlie Barosky and Kim Dickens as Diosa madame Collette are also expected to return.

Mon County Man Pleads Guilty To Strangling, Killing Woman
Written by Your 5News Team
Last updated on May 15, 2013 @ 9:05AM
Created on May 14, 2013 @ 6:18PM
43 years in prison that's the punishment staring 40-year-old Kevin Utter in face after he plead guilty on Tuesday afternoon to killing Christina Terry and torching her car in 2011.
Despite admitting to the crimes, prosecutors are still trying to figure out what drove Utter to murder.
Utter, who looked to have gained weight and grew a beard, looked noticeably different from the time he was in October of 2011. That's when investigators found Terry's body in the woods near University High School. Prosecutors said Utter and Terry spent the night drinking at Noivchenk's, which is on Point Marion Road.
During his plea hearing on Tuesday Utter plead guilty .to strangling Terry and running her over.
"Her clothing was partly off, but there was no evidence of sexual assault that was discovered at the Medical Examiner's office," Monongalia County Prosecutor, Marcia Ashdown said.
Leading up Utter's plea on Tuesday there were still a lot of question surrounding the case, including how the two knew each other. Ashdown said they apparently never had a prior relationship and only met the night of the murder.
"Sometimes we know that people haven't known each other at all and they just come together in a very unfortunate way," Ashdown said.
Ashdown said they were able to place Utter at the crime scene thanks to some tiny screws and unique pieces of construction styrofoam which he used for his job. She took time during the hearing to praise investigators for finding those pieces of evidence.
"The outcome today (Tuesday) is the reason why you do that," Monongalia County Sheriff, Al Kisner said about gathering those pieces.
"You make sure you cover all your bases because otherwise that case may have gone to trial and he may have been acquitted."
During the hearing, Utter also admitted to the judge that he had a drug and alcohol problem since he was 14-years-old.
Ashdown admitted to 5 News the case is disturbing, but she said it also comes with a valuable lesson.
"I suppose it's a good reason for people to always be aware of how much alcohol they're consuming," she said. "(Also) what their surroundings are, who they're with and really be very, very careful."
Terry's family and Utter's family both declined to comment after the hearing.
Utter's sentencing is in a couple of months, but prosecutors have recommended the maximum punishment for his crimes which is 43 years behind bars.

A Southwest Washington soldier risked his life during the Korean War to save an Army officer from certain death.
Almost 60 years later, a local lawmaker was able to give that soldier the medal he deserved.
U.S. Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler recently presented a Silver Star to Bill Wuorinen. The 82-year-old veteran lives in Naselle, on the western edge of the state's 3rd Congressional District.
The Camas Republican has helped other veterans obtain replacement medals and commendations, but nothing as significant as the Silver Star, said spokesman Casey Bowman.
Longview Daily News reporter Barbara LaBoe offered some details. Wuorinen was among 150 soldiers defending a hilltop outpost against an eight-hour Chinese assault on March 17, 1953. Some attackers made it through the barbed wire and overran a platoon. After an American colonel was shot, Wuorinen and another soldier braved enemy gunfire and dragged the officer back to their trench.
They took turns defending their position and performing first aid to keep the colonel alive until the attackers were beaten back.
Wuorinen did so well at first aid that it initially cost him a medal. The colonel and the other soldier received Silver Stars. But the officer mistakenly believed that Wuorinen was a medic, just doing his job.
Folks in Naselle who supported his cause, including students and American Legion officials, notified Herrera Beutler's staff.
In an email, Herrera Beutler said: "It was an absolute honor to meet this brave man, and an even bigger honor to correct a mistake after more than half a century. We need more people like Mr. Wuorinen around, so it's vital that we recognize them for what they are: heroes."
Brian Baird presided over a similar ceremony in 2009 when he represented the 3rd District. The Vancouver Democrat presented a replacement Bronze Star to Eino Filla. The La Center veteran, who died in 2010, had earned that medal during some of the fiercest combat of World War II, on Okinawa.
Filla held it for only about a minute in 1945. Then an officer took it back; he had to give another soldier a Bronze Star, and they didn't have enough to go around.

Team USA Basketball held their Blue and White scrimmage game on ESPN on the evening of Friday, Aug. 1, 2014, and it was going to be a chance to see the players show off their skills in hope of making the team. Unfortunately, the game ended early when Paul George of the Indiana Pacers suffered a gruesome leg injury that could have him out of action for quite a long time.
During the fourth quarter of the game, George went up to contest a lay-up by James Harden of the Houston Rockets, and he came down awkwardly and went to the ground.
Play was stopped immediately as trainers ran out to George and surrounded him. A replay showed just how serious the injury would end up being.
As George was coming down from contesting the shot by Harden, his foot hit the cushioned backstop for the basketball rim. His weight came down on his right leg and it looked as if his leg literally snapped around the middle of his calf.
Watching it live and then the one or two replays was actually quite sickening and it made you truly feel so very sorry for George.
The injured Paul George lay on the side of the court and looked incredibly calm as trainers worked on helping him. After a few minutes, a splint was put on his entire right leg and he was wheeled off the floor on a gurney as his teammates looked on very concerned.
Team USA coach Mike Krzyzewski grabbed a microphone and thanked the crowd for their support before advising them that the game was going to be called with 9:33 remaining in the fourth quarter. Team USA White was leading Team USA Blue 81-71 at the time.
Fans applauded and chanted the name of Paul George as the players left the floor.
There is no confirmation as to what the extent of the injury is, but it looked incredibly serious. George was taken away in an ambulance as soon as he was taken off the court.

I loved this concert, Bobby Womack was excellent. Can't wait to see him again. Our balcony seats were switched to floor seats. The Saban doesn't have an elevator so that was a perfect call for me.

It was great to see Bobby perform so well given that he has had some health challenges. His band was excellent. I understand that his warm-up performer was less than stellar, however, I came to see Bobby and he delivered!

Nobody imposes on the soul. The soul itself makes the choice, but it has to be approved by the Supreme. The soul, while sitting at the top of the tree, feels that if it comes down to earth, it will be able to fulfil itself. But, as you know, the world is full of imperfections and limitations. And when the soul touches the foot of the tree, it feels that there are all unlit forces, evil forces, trying to capture and devour it. So after making the choice, sometimes the soul feels that the environment it has chosen is unhealthy, and it may leave the body.
?Sri Chinmoy, Death and Reincarnation
Usually, a soul follows continuously the same line of sex. If there are shiftings of sex, it is, as a rule, a matter of parts of the personality which are not central.
?Sri Aurobindo, ?A Practical Guide to Integral Yoga?.

Bad things can happen within good people, as they make the choices – sometimes consciously, sometimes not – that will change their lives forever.
And in "Good People" by David Lindsay-Abaire, the results are dark comedy. Or maybe that should be comic drama? Take your pick as you watch – this play is meant to spark some entertaining debate.
The Tony Award-nominated play opens Friday, Sept. 7, at the Weekend Theater, Seventh and Chester streets in downtown Little Rock. Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays through Sept. 17. Tickets cost $16 for general admission, $12 for students and seniors age 65 and over. To make reservations, visit the Web site www.weekendtheater.org; for information only, call (501) 374-3761.
"It's a very thought-provoking and entertaining show," says director Andy Hall. "It is about the economic times, but more than that, it's about people – we all have different sides, we're many shades of gray."
Single mother Margie (Patti Airoldi) loses her job as a cashier in a South Boston dollar store, fired by manager Stevie (Johnnie Brannon) for excessive tardiness. It's not because Margie is an irresponsible slacker; she just can't find an adequate caretaker for the mentally disabled grown daughter who lives with her, and therefore often has to stay home to deal with the daily crises that arise.
Longtime friends Dottie (Patti German) and Jean (Samantha Porter) help her commiserate, with plenty of earthy humor. In desperation to find a job, any job, Margie seeks out old high school boyfriend Mike (Duane Jackson), who has escaped the old neighborhood and is now a successful, wealthy fertility doctor. Showing up unannounced at his office, she manages to wrangle an invitation to a party given by Mike's wife, Kate (Felicia Richardson).
Lindsay-Abaire (who grew up in the blue collar "Southie" neighborhood himself) doesn't provide any easy answers as his characters wrestle with issues of race, class, and the hand fate deals each of us. "The writing is very ambiguous," says Hall. "What we've found as we've rehearsed is, everyone comes across with a slightly different interpretation. We've had a lot of fun, and a couple of heated debates, but it's been very productive.
Lindsay-Abaire's clever mix of ribald humor and quieter, three-dimensional depth provides a hilarious, poignant look at how those "just getting by" and "comfortably off" may be more closely entwined than they might think.
"It's complex, just like life," Hall says.

Arun Ghosh: Aurora
Arun Ghosh (clarinet, piano)
Northern Namaste (Camoci Records 1001)
Arun Ghosh (clarinet, piano),
Idris Rahman (tenor sax), Liran Donin (bass), Sanju Sahai (tabla), Dave Walsh (drums), Aref Durvesh (tambourine).
Composed by Arun Ghosh.
Recorded: London, no date given (CD released in 2008)
Rating: 94/100 (learn more)
Stuart Nicholson recently reported in these virtual pages how clarinetist Arun Ghosh captivated the audience at the recent Jazzahead festival in Bremen with his exciting brand of British-Asian jazz. The unknown artist sold dozens of copies of his self-produced CD Northern Namaste within a few minutes of leaving the stage. And I can understand why. Unfortunately US fans will have a hard time to tracking down this music—I couldn't find a single online retailer in the US who had stocked it, and needed to order it from Amazon's UK web site. But it is well worth going to the trouble to hear this band, and enjoy Ghosh's probing clarinet work. The basic formula is familiar—a medium-fast modal chart over a repeating rhythmic pattern. But Ghosh shows that even the old recipes have plenty of life in them, especially when played this well. The whole band gets high marks, but the leader is the clear star, and one of the most interesting reed players on the scene. I plan on keeping a close eye (and ear) on Ghosh. I just hope some retailer makes it easy for me by carrying his CDs.

Campaign links: Benny Perez (Ind-TX-15)
Benjamin "Benny" Perez
Benny Perez Congressional Candidate Texas District 15
Biography of Benny Perez from OneIn
Benjamin Perez was born in Weslaco, TX, raised in between the city of Mercedes and a "small town" called La Villa, which actually translates in English to "small town". La Villa was the place where Benjamin learned how to appreciate friends and family, which he believes should be highest priority in our lives. His father the strongest and smartest man he knows, his mother, a caring and faithful heart. Benjamin's older brother and younger sister are two of his best friends. Like many American families, Benjamin's extended family and grandmother also played an important role in shaping the person who he became, but it was his cousin LT.
As a student and athlete at La Villa, Benjamin was reinforced with the values that his family and church raised him such as faith, hard work, respect, patriotism, and a strong commitment to family and community. While earning his undergraduate degree in Social Studies, Benjamin started as an employee and then eventually a school board member at La Villa Independent School District. After obtaining his Master's degree in Educational Leadership, Ben has continued working as a Special Education teacher at La Joya Independent School District and has gained a great respect for all involved in the educational process: teachers, employees, paraprofessionals, administrators, board members, but most of all the students, parents, and community.Education can continue to improve for the better but we need to get "BACK TO THE BASICS." Among these basic values are mutual respect, motivation, locally initiated training, accountability, community interaction, patriotism, and stronger bonds between educators and parents. Benjamin believes that some of the ills in education are a reflection of the problems in our community and culture, but educators in conjunction with the local community are and can become an even greater agent of change in America. Together getting "BACK TO THE BASICS," we can secure a stronger future for America. "LET'S GET BACK TO THE BASICS."

"Now Bradley would have us believe that the umpires get together to perfect their conspiracy of a .186 hitter? Has it occurred to Bradley that maybe, as a .186 hitter, he doesn't have the unparalleled knowledge of the strike zone that he thinks he has?"
