From a fun little website to help us prepare for the inevitable zombie apocalypse (http://prepare4zombies.com):
If that doesn't keep you moving, you must already be one of them!
There are those who would be so overjoyed if they could only walk. Stop whining, run, and be happy about it.
Crawling is acceptable. Falling is acceptable. Puking is acceptable. Tears are acceptable. Pain is acceptable. Injury is acceptable. Quitting is unacceptable ! ~ Unknown
" You deserve what you settle for"
No Matter how good you feel, it will change no matter How Bad you Feel, It will change too. It always fits my marathons!
"For Them, For Her."
For Them = My Wife and Kids. I want to be here for them as long as I can
For Her = My Mom who passed away last year. All she ever wanted was for me to be healthy and happy.

"You only regret the runs you don't do." That's my phrase as I'm getting psyched to head out for a run on days when I'd rather not. While I'm running, it's less an actual motto, but the thought of all the people who aren't running at that moment, by choice or by disability, that keeps me moving forward. Running hills, my mantra is, "I love these hills. They make me strong." Corny, yes, but keeps me focused on why I have to run them and I can actually fool myself into not dreading hill workouts. But my most often used motto is simply, "I HAVE to run."
This is your time to run, get everything out before the time is over
-everything that went wrong in my day that I couldn't
control, change, or fix I day dream about and tell myself I couldn't
do that but I can run faster and stronger right now/ I also like to
day dream about all the things I could do if... and run out my dreams
with confidence
I have a few..."My goal is to beat yours" by Dathan Ritzenhein, a great quote from a pretty good runner. My other favorite quote comes in handy when I need a little motivation, "I've gone to great lengths to expand my threshold of pain" - Henry Rollins.
"A superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions"...Confucius
While I don't have a true motto, the thing I try to remind myself when training or racing is this:
Role model
Whether first or last, 5k or marathon, you never know who is watching. Somewhere out there someone is watching you and wanting to be like you. I am reminded of this every time I am going down a road and someone waves or says hello. Even when some car full of teens yells 'run forest run' I am reminded of this. It is right in front of me when during a race, kids are lining the sides of the streets looking for a high five. Whether it is jealousy of some or providing inspiration to others, someone is looking up to you and wants to do what you are doing.
Side note: regarding the kids lining the side of the street, take the time to give them a high five. Not only will you make their day, but you'll be surprised how good it makes you feel too!

laziness is the bane of runners, if you make a plan you must stick to it, otherwise your will to run will becomes compromised and you will break on race day. If you want to maintain the right to step to the line, you must put 100% into every step of every workout. Therefore, my motto is: "Earn the right"

In today's nearly completely random episode of Speak Up on Kotaku, commenter Althir believes that this friendly little fellow evokes the same sort of terror as would a flying spider. You folks should write more about games, lest the next one be a giant spider close-up.
I'm an arachnophobia. Silly, considering there's approximately three kinds of spiders around here and the most lethal is about as dangerous as a glass of water (room temperature, not carbonated), but there we go.
By extension, crane flies are the worst thing ever: They combine the squickiness of spiders (more accurately, the cellar spider) with the ability to freaking FLY, thus there is no way to be safe. The erratic movement doesn't help either.
But I found the perfect weapon. For I own deodorant. And a lighter.
Insert evil laughter here.

MARTINEZ -- Before testifying against her boyfriend, Timothy Williams, the man accused of beating and pimping her, Jane Doe sat in the courthouse hallway with him, playing with their infant daughter.
"He's the love of my life," the woman, who this newspaper is not naming, would later testify Friday inside the courtroom.
Reluctantly called as a prosecution witness and granted immunity, the 32-year-old woman spent Friday describing how she fell in love with Williams and said he was her "boyfriend," not her "pimp," although she worked as a prostitute while they were dating.
She said her memory was blurry in January 2012, due to a former crack cocaine and alcohol addiction, when Williams is alleged to have grabbed her by the hair and slammed her face into a car dashboard in a fight over food stamps.
Williams -- who has pleaded not guilty to felony pimping, pandering and human trafficking charges from Dec. 21, 2011, to Jan. 27, 2012 -- never hurt her nor threatened to hurt her, she said. The prosecution disagreed.
"This case comes down to greed, power and control," prosecutor Chad Mahalich told the jury in his opening statement.
He called the relationship a classic case of "Romeo pimping," where a pimp makes promises, flirts and seduces someone to keep her under his control. The prosecutor told the jury how the woman has been uncooperative with police and prosecutors, refusing to testify at the preliminary hearing.
"I don't know what exactly she's going to say today on the witness stand," Mahalich told the jurors during opening statements. He added that an expert would testify how prostitutes are often reluctant to snitch on their pimps.
The woman, wearing glasses and her hair pulled into a bun and with her attorney sitting beside her, made it clear she would rather go to jail than see Williams do time.
"This would be the last place I want to be right now," she testified, stressing that she no longer worked as a prostitute.
The woman, who went by the name "Summer Breeze" with clients, said she started working as a prostitute at age 18 and always worked as an "independent contractor." She said she met Williams, 49, of Richmond, who went by "Texas Tea," in 2011, and he began driving her to clients' residences.
"He was my boyfriend, and I felt more safe knowing he was out there if something would happen," she said.
She said she spent her money on drugs, sent some to her mother and gave Williams cash for gas and other things. Mahalich said that contradicted what she initially told police: that she would give her entire earnings of $1,000 per week to Williams. Mahalich added that the woman nodded yes multiple times when police first asked her in 2012 if Williams was her pimp.
Police found both of their cellphones, and the woman was listed as "Bitch" in Williams' contact names, Mahalich said, a name pimps often use for their prostitutes.
Mahalich said texts between the pair discussed prostitution fees and included threats of violence, and Williams helped her create a Redbook page to advertise prostitution services online.
The woman told deputy public defender Kaylie Simon that the terms "pimpin,'" "bitch" and "out of pocket," found in text messages between the pair, are commonly used in rap songs and elsewhere with meanings unrelated to prostitution.
"You don't have to like (Williams)," Simon told the jury in the opening statements. "You don't have to think he's a respectful boyfriend. That's not what he's on trial for."
Williams, who is out of custody, sat quietly throughout the proceedings.
Simon told the jury the woman introduced Williams to her mother in 2011, and the mom would testify that he had a job buying and selling cars at the time.
She said the mother would testify that her daughter chose to become a prostitute on her own at age 18, long before she met Williams.

JURISDICTIONAL TASK FORCE HOLDS 1st FORUM Poison: A public forum on State, Federal and Tribal re-sixmsibilitias and jurisdiction took place in Poison Sept.29. This was the first public forum held by members of the State Jurisdictional Task Force and a panel of invited and interested parties. Panel members included a Lauren S. McKinsey, member of the State Commission on Local Government; Steven Brown, Chief Legal Counsel of the State Health and Environmental Sciences Dept.; Al Meyers, Lake CountyCom-missioner; Joseph McDonald, Task Force member and Tribal Councilman; E. W. Bill Morigeau, Councilman; moderator Dr. Louis Hayve, of the Bureau of Government Research, University of Mt. Some discussion took place about the representation on the Task Force. The county commissioners association had hoped that all 7 counties would have a representative on the task force along with representatives fromthe reservations. Only one county commissioner was appointed to the main task force, other commissioners have been ap- pointed to the mini forces. Lake County and the res ervation have a combined for-mini-task force made up of a Tribal Councilman, Thomas Pablo, and County Commissioner, Al Meyers. A third to be selected by Pablo and Meyers, with provisions to elect a two or more member addition to the mini-force. ____ Continued on page 2 ^NEWSPAPER OF THE SALISH, PEND'd ORIELLES AND KOOTENAI ~\ "TjRiBES OF THE FLATHEAD RESERVATION | tó^ KowslJÜ1,nh m. ' VOLUME 5 NUMBER MOON OF THE HALF SUMMER HALF AUTUMN OCTOBER 15 1975 • JOHNNY ARLEE FEATURED IN SERIES "AWAKENING" is the tentative title of a movie on '•Johnny Arlee's change from an AlcoholiC'to a man dedicated to helping people remember true Indian cultural values and "keep them from losing their roots- their Indian roots," Vie is now Flathead Indian Cultural Consultant. The movie was shot here on the reservation. It was part-of h ten part educational series for KSPS-;TV in Spokane on Indian cultuYe, Jhe tribe will receive both a copy of it and "Season ef the Grandmofhers," (another one of the series'which was filmed in part on the reservation.) Arlee says he turned his life around because he was afrnid. Alcholism had so muddled his mind that "I killed my dog for no reason. -Cut his throat — I probably could have killed ' a human." He was scared of where he had been, where he was going. In his search for direction he turned to the older people for wisdom and help. He found it. He turned his life around through applying traditional Indian values and now seeks the chance to help others. He has helped teach drumming, singing, and dancing to the youth. He looks for the chance to give others the same understanding and "comforting words" he found. He says he'd like to "listen to people like the bid folks used to do and talk to them. - Get their minds out of the gutter. My back-gound was kind of in the gutter you know." That is why he wants to help others. He has been there. FOREST MANAGEMENT PLAN The Tribal Council held a special three day meeting to review and select the Forestry Manag-ment Plan for the Reservation. The meeting took place Sept.3, 4, and 5, at the BIA offices in Ronan. The Bureau's Forestry personnel presented each managment unit and it's alternative managment plan to the Council for their selection and approval. The Bureau has been working for several years without anap-proved plan pending formulation and approval of a new 10 year managment plan. A four hundred page management plan manual was completed by the BIA earlier this year and presented to the Council for their consideration and approval. Because of poor attendence at the public meetings held in August, the Council had little in the way of Tribal member suggestion to use m making their decisions on the plan. Tribal planner Larry Hall, the Councilmen and BIA Forestry personnel had worked many long hours to set up the public hearings. The meetings had been created to inform Tribal Members of the managment plan, and to discuss with them any additions or changes they would like made. A record attendence of four people took place at the first meeting held in Arlee Aug. 12. From then on attendenceslid downhill. The last three meetings had to be cancelled because of the poor turn out. Several Councilmen have stated that since the Tribal Members had taken no interest in formulating the managemont plan, that complaints madea-bout the plan now that it has been selpcted and approved will probably fall on deaf ears. continued page 2

WORLD RECORD FOR BRENTWOOD: About five months after the 20th anniversary of the Brentwood CornFest, organizers received word that Brentwood had officially broken the world record for the most people husking corn at the same time. At Brentwood's signature festival on July 14, 659 people were recorded husking corn simultaneously.
The Guinness World Records only gave Brentwood credit for 654 people because a few had to leave early, according to organizer Dirk Zeigler. That was still enough for Brentwood to take the title.
"You know that at some point someone will break it, but for now you can say that Brentwood, California, broke the record," Zeigler said proudly last week.
Zeigler said that it was a team effort involving 13 stewards, two official witnesses, endless paperwork and pictures and videos for evidence.
The EYE offers some numbers advice: Attending the 18th annual Threads of Hope Awards at the Orinda Theatre, The Eye accepted an unusual call for help from Danville's Lorrie Sullenberger.
"You've got to help me with numbers," she pleaded. "When I told Diablo Magazine (the awards' sponsors) I'd been a Big Sister to Sara for 27 years, I got it wrong. I based it on her birth date. I can't ever remember those, so actually, it's been 28 years!"
Worse, she confided, the birth date of her husband, national hero and master of safety husband Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, is equally slippery. Few can forget his celebrated landing of US Airways Flight 549 in the New York's Hudson River, but his wife can forget his exact birth date.
"It's either Jan. 21, or the 23rd ... it's 1951, I know that," she laughed, reaching toward her husband (who confirmed the Jan. 23 date) before adding, "You come up with a rhyme or a way I can remember it, OK?"
So, having pondered and puttered toward a solution for Sullenberger's numerical challenge, The Eye presents a few suggestions:
The Mayor Was Here: To say that Brentwood Mayor Bob Taylor is excited about a long-awaited expansion of Highway 4 through his town may be an understatement.
The mayor watched with glee when contractors installed large bridge girders over Sand Creek on Dec. 11, joking that he wanted to take a ride on the 500-ton piece of concrete as it was positioned into place.
Well, at least The Eye thinks he was joking.
Taylor did manage to tiptoe off to the side of one of the girders while crews were making it fit snugly into place and with a black Sharpie write "MAYOR BOB TAYLOR BTWD."
"The mayor has been waiting for this for a long time," Taylor said as he put the cap on the pen. "This is going to be a game-changer."
ANGEL LADY PLAYS SANTA: Ruth Concannon of Danville, along with members of the "18th hole ladies" of Castlewood Country Club of Pleasanton, played Santa last week, suppling more than 600 gifts to abused families in the East Bay area. Every year for the past 14 years, Concannon has placed her angel requests (a piece of paper with a specific gift request) on a table at the country club.
The ladies of the country club pick up the request and buy the gifts. This year, Concannon's living room was filled with more than 600 presents that were handed over to staff at Tri-Valley Haven, Sheperds Gate and STAND for distribution Tuesday.
Concannon, known as "The Angel Lady" for her work, added that 150 stuffed animals were in the pile of 600 gifts.
SPEAKING OF SANTA: Old St. Nick is allowed to sneak down chimneys, but The Eye learned last week that even Santa has to sign in for a visitor's pass at school.
While grabbing a visitor's pass at Oakley Elementary School last week, The Eye glanced at the list of names and saw "Santa" had signed in about 8:30 a.m.
The man was actually one of Santa's helpers, taking pictures with more than 100 preschoolers during a party.
Staff writers Paula King, Paul Burgarino, Susan Pollard and Correspondent Lou Fancher contributed to this report.

OAKLAND -- New details emerged Monday in the slaying of federal investigator Sandra Coke, including a possible motive and confirmation that the suspect, Randy Alana, Coke's ex-boyfriend, is the father of her 15-year-old daughter.
The information was revealed during a preliminary hearing in the murder case against Alana, a 56-year-old career criminal accused of strangling Coke, 50, in a West Oakland motel before driving her dead body to Vacaville, where she was dumped in a creek.
Testimony given by a police officer and two of Alana's nephews revealed that Alana is the father of Coke's 15-year-old daughter and that Coke and Alana had a long-term romance two decades ago that was rekindled by Coke when Alana was released from prison in 2012 after serving 15 years for bank robbery.
The testimony also revealed that Coke became obsessed with finding her missing dog, Ginny, and suspected Alana might have had something to do with the disappearance.
Her suspicions were raised after Alana told her that he met someone who had information about the dog but would not reveal it unless Coke paid a $1,000 reward, testimony revealed. Coke gave Alana $1,000 but never received a tip about her dog, the testimony revealed.
Coke's obsession with finding her dog, coupled with her suspicion that Alana took the dog, triggered a series of events that resulted in Alana being sent to jail for a parole violation in May and missing the death and funeral of his mother, testimony revealed.
Alana took his mother's death "very hard," his nephew, Angelo Gross, said and was upset that he couldn't attend the funeral because he was in jail.
Coke also was upset that Alana had to be sent back to jail and tried to make sure he wouldn't stay locked up for long, as she refused to file a police report about her suspicions, Gross said.
Nevertheless, Gross said, Coke was upset enough with Alana, and she told Gross that she no longer wanted to be romantically involved with Alana but would remain friends in hopes that he would eventually reveal information about the missing dog.
Soon after Alana was released from jail in August, Gross said he learned that Coke had paid for Alana to stay in a motel in West Oakland. Police believe Alana strangled Coke to death in a room at Night's Inn Motel in West Oakland.
Several days later, Gross said, he received a somewhat frantic call from Alana that persudaded him to contact a police officer in Oakland that he knew. The call came a day after police believe Coke was killed.
The call from Alana followed several calls Gross had received from other family members who were concerned about both Alana and Coke after seeing news reports and talking with police, Gross said.
Gross said he kept asking Alana if Coke was "OK," but Alana refused to answer.
"He really wasn't listening to me, he just was describing how messed up it was, his parole conditions," Gross said. "I kept asking him what was going on, and he kept going on and on, 'I'm not going back to jail'"
Gross said he then continued to ask Alana about Coke, at which point Alana interrupted him.
"'Don't act square on me now. You know how I get down,'" Gross said Alana told him.
Alana then told Gross that for all he knows, Coke could be somewhere with Ginny, the dog.
The conversation prompted Gross to call a friend at the Oakland Police Department, who advised Gross to help police apprehend Alana. Gross did that later in the day, when he told Alana to meet him in West Oakland. Police were waiting for Alana.
Coke's body was found on Aug. 9 in Vacaville. Alana has been held at Santa Rita Jail in Dublin since Aug. 6 on a parole violation.
Gross also testified about the Coke-Alana relationship, which began more than 20 years ago when the two met during a death penalty investigation. Gross said the relationship seemed normal, and he always considered Coke his aunt.
Coke worked for the federal Public Defender's Office and conducted investigations on behalf of death row inmates.
The preliminary hearing continues Tuesday.

Last Saturday, the Truckee Bandits of the Sierra Youth Football League took on the Reno Huskies at Reno High. The Truckee Bandits had not won a game in their two-plus years of playing football. Hopes were high as they always are for this 20-boy team of 5-, 6- and 7-year-olds — and for a good reason, as the young Truckee squad would leave with their heads held high after a 25-7 win.
Truckee started with the ball on its own 48 for their first drive of the game. On the second play, Aidan Powers took the ball and ran through a hole on the left side of the line provided by great blocks from Caige Maran and Will Atkinson. Powers made three moves and broke into the open field and scored a touchdown on a 35-yard run. The Truckee defense took over with the score 6-0.
Truckee's defense, led by the stout line play of Ricki Espinoza, Miles Kelly and stellar play of ends Sean McMullen and Atkinson, stopped the Huskies on their first drive. Truckee got the ball back in Reno territory to start its second series.
This drive took a little longer, but it still led to a score by Truckee. Ronan Collins scored on a run around the right end of the line with great blocks by Jessie Espinoza, Jake Solberg and a good down-field block by quarterback Ezra Scharp. The first quarter ended with Truckee leading 13-0.
The second quarter was a defensive battle with neither team scoring. Truckee's defense was led by great tackles by Jessie Espinoza and solid line play from Quinn Krommenhoek, Joey Green and Cooper Smart. The boys went into halftime leading 13-0 and dreaming of their first win of the season.
The second half started with Reno receiving the kickoff and starting on their own 45. Truckee got the ball back on McMullen's second of three fumble recovery of the game.
With the ball in Husky territory, Truckee started the second half with Maran at quarterback. Collins scored again for Truckee with a run that started on the left side and ended up going back to the right for a 38-yard run. The run was aided by blocks by Aiden England and Drake Johnson. Reno received the kickoff again, now trailing 19-0.
The Huskies got on the scoreboard with a great run around the right end with their running back breaking multiple tackles by Wolverine defenders, cutting the score to 19-7.
Truckee's defense got tough again, not allowing the Huskies to score the rest of the game. Truckee's defense was bolstered on the outside by Tait Nicholas and Connor Folks pushing the runners back inside, where tackles were made by Powers, Maran and Scharp.
Jake Solberg ended the day's scoring by taking a wide receiver reverse around the right end of the Truckee line for a run of 23 yards, pushing the final score to 25-7.
The win ended a two-year winning drought against the Reno Huskies and evened Truckee's record at 1-1, after a tough 19-15 loss to the Galena Grizzlies last week. The team celebrated the win by dousing coach Marc McMullen in ice-cold water at midfield.

Paul Lahote
this wiki
- "I'm sure the leech-lover is just dying to help us out!"
- ―Paul on Bella Swan[src]
Paul Lahote is a Quileute shape-shifter and the third-in-command of the Uley pack. He was the third member to join the pack (by the age of sixteen) and is the most volatile member of the pack, becoming so enraged upon learning that Jacob informed Bella about them that he turned into a wolf . He later seems to have no ill feelings towards Bella or Jacob. He is prone to angry outbursts, causing him to burst into his wolf form, but has learned to restrain himself after he imprinted on Rachel Black.
He is a distant relative of the Uley family through his great-grandmother. His Life and Death counterpart is Paula Lahote.
He is portrayed by Alex Meraz in the movie adaptations.
Early lifeEdit
Paul Lahote was born in Tacoma. When his parents divorced Paul was eight, his father took him back to La Push and the tribe. He still lives there now with his father. He wasn't close to either Sam or Jared, though he was in the same year of school as Jared. He showed himself to be a shape-shifter after Sam Uley and Jared Cameron, roughly at the age of sixteen. He had his own circle of friends, so it drew attention when he abruptly stopped hanging out with them and instead became inseparable from Sam.
Since he was temperamental already before his transformation, this trait was intensified afterwards; he had a great deal of difficulty controlling his temper. More than Sam or Jared, he frequently phased by accident, which forced Sam to stay close to him to keep him from being noticed. When Sam accidentally wounded Emily after a brief loss of control, Jared contacted Paul; he subsequently found Sue, who, as a nurse and aware of their secret, was the perfect person to help and brought her to Emily. After this incident, Paul began to take his temper problems more seriously and improved somewhat, though he still found control more difficult than the others.
New MoonEdit
- Main article: New Moon
In New Moon, Paul is first present in wolf form while hunting the vampire Laurent with his pack. This notes their first confrontation with a real-life vampire and their first mission of protecting mankind.
Paul is furious when Bella finds out what they are, instantly losing his temper, phases into his wolf form and almost attacks Bella, but is stopped by Jacob and Sam. Afterwards, he joins his pack in protecting Bella and Charlie from Victoria.
In the movie, he first appears with the rest of the pack cliff diving. He is later seen with the pack as they are confronted by Bella outside Jacob's house. He, along with Jared, laugh at her accusation of Jacob being afraid of Sam and his pack. Angered by this, Bella slaps Paul, causing him to lose control and phase into his wolf form. As he nears to attack her, he is confronted and fought off into the woods by Jacob in his wolf form. He later apologizes to Bella at Emily's house.
- Main article: Eclipse
After the Cullens return, they try to hunt Victoria on both lands. When Emmett attempts to attack Victoria, she leaps out of the way causing him to smack into Paul by accident. Then Rosalie defends Emmett which almost turns into a fight until Jasper and Carlisle calm everyone down. He is present at the Quileute council campfire, where he takes most of the hotdogs.
After the campfire, Paul isn't directly mentioned in the book, but it's clear that he participates in guarding Bella's house and the fight against Victoria's newborn army along with the rest of the pack and the Cullens.
In the Eclipse movie, Paul, along with Quil and Embry, chase after Victoria after she is forced to cross onto their lands to evade the Cullens. Emmett attempts to cross over to the Quileute border while chasing Victoria, but Paul knocks him back, sending him into the river. He is later seen coming out from Emily's house, mocking "Jacob's obsessive inner monologue" in front of Bella. Along with rest of the pack, Paul attends the training session to learn how to fight Victoria's army.
During the fight in the movie, two newborn vampires climb onto his back, making him unable to attack until Emmett throws off one of them and Paul flings off and destroys the other. He later helps Sam destroy the newborn that shattered Jacob's bones. After the fight, he carries the injured Jacob back to his house and is last seen when Bella walks up while Paul and the others are waiting outside of their house while Carlisle is tending to his wounds.
Breaking DawnEdit
- Main article: Breaking Dawn
Sometime before Breaking Dawn, Rachel Black, Jacob's older sister, comes home after graduating from college, and Paul imprinted on her while walking down the beach. He then tells her everything and Rachel agrees to stay in La Push for a while to see how things work out for them. Though Billy Black and Jacob are happy to have Rachel at home longer, they are greatly annoyed by Paul for always being at their house, constantly using their television and eating their food. Billy deals with his presence by staying at the Clearwaters' to keep Sue company.
One day Jacob finds him overly annoying as he was eating all the food and being obsessive about controlling the TV. Jacob punches him in the face, breaks his nose after he playfully agrees to not tell Rachel if he does, but to Jacob's surprise and annoyance, he remains calm and doesn't fight back. This is because Paul is learning hard to restrain himself for Rachel's sake.
He is present during Jacob and Jared's conversation about how to deal with Bella's pregnancy, after Jacob, Seth and Leah broke away from Sam's pack. The situation resolved after Jacob imprinted on the newborn baby, Renesmee Cullen, which makes her untouchable by the other pack members.
In Breaking Dawn - Part 1, he appears on the beach with Rachel and playing soccer with his fellow pack members. He is present during Jacob's refusal to continue to follow Sam. He, Jared, Embry, and Quil later confront the Black pack. He informs them that the Quileute lands were no longer their territory. After being informed by Jacob that he would kill Renesmee, Paul angrily realizes, after hearing Collin and Brady's howls, that they were being tricked to let Carlisle, Esme, and Emmett hunt on their lands and storms off with the others. He later spies on the Cullens and after seeing Jacob crying over Bella's supposed "death", he informs Sam that she is dead. He later fights with his pack against the Cullens. He personally goes after Emmett, but is smacked down hard to the ground. He later retreats with the rest of the pack after Jacob informs Sam that he imprinted on Renesmee.
Paul's last appearance in the saga is during the Volturi's "trial" against the Cullens for having committed a "crime" by creating an immortal child, with Bella protecting him and his pack.
By this time, their pack has expanded to nine, due to the increasing numbers of additional vampires. In Alice's vision of the battle, Paul is shown destroying a Volturi guard after the latter throws Collin Littlesea aside. He is later shown to be struggling against a Volturi guard, who begins to strangle Paul. He does die in Alice's vision, as his body is found laying in the snow when Bella is thrown by Aro. In the end however, the battle doesn't happen. After the situation was cleared, Paul returns to improving his restraint in hopes of someday becoming strong enough to leave the pack for Rachel.
Physical appearanceEdit
Paul is known to be at least 6 feet tall and muscular, with the traditional brown eyes, black hair and facial features of a Native American. In New Moon, Jacob says that "Paul's just sixteen, too, shorter than me and not as beefy as Quil". This was before he joined Sam's pack. Now he's as big, tall and muscular as his "brothers".
Wolf formEdit
Bella describes Paul's wolf form as "dark silver fur and a size five-times larger his size—a massive, crouched shape, ready to spring". He is also shorter than Sam, swift, and dark-eyed, though in the movies his eyes are lighter.
Personality and traitsEdit
Paul is described as annoying, very short-tempered (which sets off his transformation frequently), cocky and dominating, despite his young age. In Breaking Dawn, he learns to control his temper and keep himself from phasing, as when he gets punched in the face by Jacob. This is due to his newfound love for Jacob's sister, Rachel Black, whom he imprinted on and has promised to learn to control his anger so that he may someday stop phasing altogether and leave town with her. He can, however, be fun-loving and childish.
Paul lives with his father in La Push after his parents divorced.
Rachel BlackEdit
- Main article: Paul Lahote and Rachel Black
Rachel Black is Paul's soul mate.
He imprinted on her sometime after Eclipse and before Breaking Dawn, when she came back to La Push to visit her family after graduating college. After he told her everything, Rachel decided to stay around to see how their relationship will work out; and Paul started to practice self-restraint in hopes of someday being able to quit the pack and leave with her.
Film portrayalEdit
Alex Meraz played Paul in the following films: New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn - Part 1.
Paul's name is derived from the name of one of Stephenie Meyer's brothers, after Stephenie's siblings requested to be mentioned in the series.

OAKLAND -- Warriors second-year guard Klay Thompson said he knows more is expected of him. And he knows all about the sophomore slump.
Is Thompson is feeling any pressure?
"Nope," he said at his locker before the game, his feet propped on rookie Harrison Barnes' chair while he watches game film. "I'm confident. I know I'm a big piece of this team now. That gives me confidence."
Thompson said he expects things to go easier for him in his second season. He's put in the work to improve his game. But he's also gotten a lot of help around him, preventing opponents from focusing too much on him.
Warriors fans are hoping he's right because, in many ways, the Warriors' success is hinged on Thompson's ability to build on his promising rookie season.
Thompson -- at 6-foot-7, 205 pounds -- is supposed to be the traditional shooting guard the Warriors have long needed. He's viewed as one of the promising young players in the NBA. And the Warriors need him to be exactly that.
And Thompson, who plays as if he has a chip on his shoulder, is eager to prove he's ready. He said he hears the whispers about what he can't do louder than the praise that's been heaped on him. He said it gives him an edge on the court.
"Yeah, I'm one of them guys who finds motivation anywhere," Thompson said. "I don't follow all the stuff people say, but you hear things. And everyone wants to be the perfect player."
Thompson has had a busy summer. He played on the select squad that practiced against the national team in Las Vegas, preparing Team USA for the Olympics. He played two games with Golden State's summer league team the following week in Las Vegas.
After a relatively short break, Thompson returned to Oakland early and has been working out daily.
His focus this summer was developing other parts of his game. Thompson said the best scorers in the league know how to create offense, make stuff happen out of nothing. To that end, he played a lot of one-on-one, two-on-two and three-on-three hoops. He used those settings, often against rookie point guard Charles Jenkins, to improve his driving.
"It's best when you have a live man defending you," Thompson said. "You can do the drills, stuff with a chair and all that. But nothing replaces someone defending you."
In the exhibition opener against the Los Angeles Lakers, Thompson was all too eager to test his off-the-dribble game on Kobe Bryant. Three straight times Thompson went straight to the basket, successfully getting to the rim through traffic.
In Thursday night's game against Maccabi Haifa, Warriors coach Mark Jackson even ran a set where Thompson played point guard and Curry moved off the ball. Thompson used a screen to get in the lane.
"He is attacking the rim a lot more now," said swingman Brandon Rush, arguably the Warriors' best perimeter defender. "He's not just relying on his jumper. He's so tough to guard. You never know what he's going to do."
Thompson's shot is still the center of his game. But this season, he'll need to do more than hoist jumpers.
He'll have to defend. He'll need to rebound, more than the 2.4 rebounds he averaged last season. He'll need to get to the free throw line more than 1.3 times per game, and be more efficient than 44.3 percent from the field.
"One thing you can say about Klay," Jackson said, "he competes. He's put in the work and you know he's going to go out there and battle."

|Official Title:
|A Randomized, Double-Blind Study of the Safety and Efficacy of GSK1349572 Plus Abacavir/Lamivudine Fixed-Dose Combination Therapy Administered Once Daily Compared to Atripla Over 96 Weeks in HIV-1 Infected Antiretroviral Therapy Naive Adult Subjects
- Percentage of Participants With Plasma Human Immunodeficiency Virus -1 (HIV-1) Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) <50 Copies/Milliliter (c/mL) at Week 48 [ Time Frame: Week 48 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The percentage of participants with plasma HIV-1 RNA <50 c/mL at Week 48 was assessed. Plasma samples were collected for the quantitative assessment of HIV-1 RNA based on the Missing, Switch, or Discontinuation equals Failure (MSDF) algorithm,as codified by the Food and Drug Administration's Snapshot algorithm. This algorithm treats all participants without HIV-1 RNA data at the visit of interest (due to missing data or discontinuation of investigationl product prior to the visit window) as non-responders, as well as participants who switched their concomitant antiretroviral therapy (ART) in certain scenarios. Since changes in ART were not permitted in this protocol, all such participants who changed ART were to be considered non-responders. Otherwise, virologic success or failure was to be determined by the last available HIV-1 RNA assessment while the participant was on treatment within the visit of interest window.
- Time to Viral Suppression (<50 c/mL) [ Time Frame: From Baseline until data cut off for Week 48 analysis (average of 357.0 days for DTG; average of 332.2 study days for EFV/TDF/FTC) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Viral suppression is defined as the first viral load value<50 c/mL. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate time to viral suppression, defined as the time from the first dose of study treatment until the first viral load value <50 c/mL was reached. Participants who withdrew for any reason without having suppressed prior to the analysis were censored.
- Number of Participants With a Confirmed Plasma HIV-1 RNA Level >=1000 c/mL at or After Week 16 and Before Week 24, or a Confirmed Plasma HIV-1 RNA Level >=200 c/mL at or After Week 24 [ Time Frame: From Baseline until data cut off for the Week 48 analysis (average of 357.0 study days for DTG; average of 332.2 study days for EFV/TDF/FTC) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Data are presented as Kaplan Meier estimates of virologic failure (VF), defined as a confirmed plasma HIV-1 RNA level >=1000 c/mL at or after Week 16 and before Week 24, or a confirmed plasma HIV-1 RNA level >=200 c/mL at or after Week 24. A plasma HIV-1 RNA value was considered to be confirmed failure if a consecutive measurement satisfied the same failure criterion. The number of participants who experienced autoimmune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) Clinical Trials Group (ACTG) VFs was measured. For participants who withdrew from the study/were not documented to have reached confirmed VF at the cut off date of the Week 48 analysis, time to VF was to be censored at the planned visit week of the last measured plasma HIV-1 RNA sample. Data for participants who missed three consecutive scheduled plasma HIV-1 RNA measurements were to be censored at the planned visit week of the last assessment prior to the 3 consecutive missed visits.
- Change From Baseline in Plasma HIV-1 RNA at Weeks 4, 8, 12, 24, 32, and 48 [ Time Frame: Baseline and Weeks 4, 8, 12, 24, 32, and 48 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Blood samples were collected for the measurement of HIV-1 RNA in plasma. Changes from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value.
- Change From Baseline in Cluster of Differentiation 4+ (CD4+) Cell Counts at Week 48 [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 48 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]CD4 lymphocyte cells (also called T-cells or T-helper cells) are the primary targets of HIV. The CD4 count and the CD4 percentage mark the degree of immunocompromise. The CD4 count is used to stage the patient's disease, determine the risk of opportunistic illnesses, assess prognosis, and guide decisions about when to start antiretroviral therapy. Change from Baseline was calculated as the Week 48 value minus the Baseline value. The least squares mean is the estimated mean change from Baseline in CD4+ cell counts at Week 48 calculated from a repeated measures model including the following covariates: treatment, visit, Baseline plasma HIV-1 RNA, Baseline CD4+ cell count, treatment*visit interaction, Baseline HIV-1 RNA*visit interaction, and Baseline CD4+ cell count*visit interaction. No assumptions were made about the correlations between a participant's readings of CD4+, i.e., the correlation matrix for within-participant errors is unstructured.
- Number of Participants With the Indicated Post-baseline HIV-associated Conditions and Progression, Excluding Recurrences [ Time Frame: From Baseline until Week 48 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Clinical disease progression (CDP) was assessed according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) HIV-1 classification system. Category (CAT) A: one or more of the following conditions (CON), without any CON listed in Categories B and C: asymptomatic HIV infection, persistent generalized lymphadenopathy, acute (primary) HIV infection with accompanying illness or history of acute HIV infection. CAT B: symptomatic CON that are attributed to HIV infection or are indicative of a defect in cell-mediated immunity; or that are considered by physicians to have a clinical course or to require management that is complicated by HIV infection; and not included among CON listed in clinical CAT C. CAT C: the clinical CON listed in the AIDS surveillance case definition. Indicators of CDP were defined as: CDC CAT A at Baseline (BS) to a CDC CAT C event (EV); CDC CAT B at BS to a CDC CAT C EV; CDC CAT C at BS to a new CDC CAT C EV; or CDC CAT A, B, or C at BS to death.
- Number of Participants With the Indicated Grade 1 to 4 Clinical and Hematology Toxicities [ Time Frame: From Baseline until data cut off for the Week 48 analysis (average of 357.0 study days for DTG; average of 332.2 study days for EFV/TDF/FTC) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]All Grade 1 to 4 post-Baseline-emergent chemistry toxicities included alanine aminotransferase (ALT), albumin, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), asparate aminotransferase (AST), carbon dioxide (CO2) content/bicarbonate, cholesterol, creatine kinase (CK), creatinine, hyperglycemia, hyperkalemia, hypernatremia, hypoglycemia, hypokalemia, hyponatremia, low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol calculation, lipase, phosphorus inorganic, total bilirubin, and triglycerides. All Grade 1 to 4 post-Baseline-emergent hematology toxities included hemoglobin, platelet count, total neutrophils, and white blood cell count. The Division of AIDS (DAIDS) defined toxicity grades as follows: Grade 1, mild; Grade 2, moderate; Grade 3, severe; Grade 4, potentially life threatening; Grade 5, death.
- Number of Participants With the Indicated Genotypic Resistance With Virological Failure (VF) [ Time Frame: Baseline to the time of virological failure (up to Week 48) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Whole blood samples were collected from participants to provide plasma for storage samples for potential viral genotypic and phenotypic analyses. Participants with confirmed virological failure (confirmed HIV-1 RNA >=50 copies/mL throughout the study and/or confirmed HIV-1 RNA >=200 copies/mL at Week 48) had plasma samples tested for HIV-1 RT genotype and HIV-1 integrase genotype from Baseline samples and from samples collected at the time of virological failure. Genotype testing was conducted at Day 1 and at the time of suspected protocol-defined virological failure (PDVF). A genotyping assessment was made of change across all amino acids within the integrase (IN)-encoding region, with particular attention paid to specific amino acid changes associated with the development of resistance to RAL, ELV, or DTG.
- Change From Baseline in the Symptom Bother Score (SBS) at Week 4 [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 4 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The Symptom Distress Module (SDM) is a 20-item, self-reported questionnaire measuring the presence/perceived distress linked to symptoms associated with HIV/its treatments. Developed with support from the AIDS Clinical Trials Group of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, it has demonstrated construct validity and has shown strong associations with physical/mental health summary scores and with disease severity. The SDM consists of 2 main scores: symptom count and the SBS, ranging from 0 (best) to 80 (worst) and based on the degree of bother that each symptom present posed. The SBS was calculated by adding the 20 individual bother item scores, which were calculated as: 0, "I do not have this symptom"; 1, "It doesn't bother me"; 2, "It bothers me a little"; 3, "It bothers me"; 4, "It bothers me a lot." Estimates are calculated from an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model adjusting for age, sex, race, Baseline (BL) viral load, BL CD4+ cell count, and BL SBS.

Good morning and welcome to Summit Up, the world's only daily column that has two - that's right, we said two - Angel Alerts!! Angel Alerts!!
The first comes from Alex Kreider of Breckenridge, who wrote thusly:
"My friend pulled out of my lot Monday evening and, with all the new snow, promptly stuffed the car in the ditch across the road (yeah, I know, but tell me you've never been there). A huge thank you to the plow driver who not only stopped and made sure the friend was OK, but also spread some extra sand and took the time to hang out and direct traffic so no one got hit while we pulled the car out. You rock girl! Thank you again! And, you were right; that bumper cover snapped right back in."
Not to be outdone, O'Lynda Fette offered this:
"A huge shout-out to the guy who stopped and turned around when driving to Breckenridge on 4-16-2013. Two dogs chased a fox across highway 9. The 'Angel' not only was able to avoid hitting them, but he turned around and got out of his car to find the dogs. Not many people would have stopped to look for the running dogs. Thank you kind Angel for stopping to help bring the dogs to safety. You are a true saint!"
We here at Summit Up think nice people are the coolest. There's nothing better than having your day amped up by some good karma. An added incentive to practice niceness comes in the form of this reminder from the late, though still quotable, Kurt Cobain: "If you're really a mean person you're going to come back as a fly and eat poop."

LOS ANGELES — Six athletes from CrossFit Ridgecrest competed in The Gauntlet, a national CrossFit Kids competition, held Jan. 20 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
CrossFit Ridgecrest member Brendan Allen placed second in the novice division at The Gauntlet.
"I wasn't expecting to hear my name called," Allen said. "I'm really proud of myself and I want to thank my coaches at CrossFit Ridgecrest for helping me get here."
This was the fourth and largest competition for Allen, who has been doing CrossFit for about year. He said he loves CrossFit and is looking forward to more events like this to challenge himself.
"Brendan shows up five times a week, he stretches, he listens, and he knows the importance of having correct form," said Cody Meyers, a coach at CrossFit Ridgecrest. "He worked hard and he definitely earned it today."
Savannah Voelker competed in the varsity division, while Caleb Draves, Robert King, Blake Sarrett and Max Vargas competed in the junior varsity division.
The competition consisted of three separate workouts. The first workout of the day (WOD) had the competitors performing handstand push-ups, pull-ups and air squats.
The second WOD involved some CrossFit favorites — double unders, box jump burpees and toes-to-bar.
The final WOD was a weightlifting workout known as "The Complex," which called for dead lifts, hanging power cleans, front squats and push jerks.
"I'm really proud of all of our athletes," said Janet Kowalchick, a coach, physical therapist and owner of CrossFit Ridgecrest. "We have been fortunate to be involved with the CrossFit Kids Program since its infancy. Now, it is really taking off and our kids are at the forefront of this up-and-coming sport. The Gauntlet was a great event for our kids to compete at the national level and show just how hard they've been training."
CrossFit is a regimen of constantly varied, functional movements performed at high intensity in a communal environment that leads to health and fitness. It is for anyone and can be scaled to any fitness level.
The next beginner "On Ramp" class for adults at CrossFit Ridgecrest is set for Jan. 29. Kids ages 3-17 are welcome to start anytime at one of the regularly scheduled classes. For more information, call 760-446-5781 or visit www.crossfitridgecrest.com.

Singer, songwriter and pianist Kiki Ebsen — the "sleeping giant in contemporary music," according to U.K. jazz authority Steve Quirk — has backed several distinguished artists, including Christopher Cross, Wilson Phillips, Boz Scaggs and Tracy Chapman, and written music for dozens of others.
After earning her bachelor's degree in classical voice from the California Institute of the Arts, Ebsen, daughter of Buddy Ebsen (aka Jed Clampett of "The Beverly Hillbillies"), toured with Chicago as a keyboardist and technician. She later joined Al Jarreau's band for a world tour and performances on "The Tonight Show" and "The Arsenio Hall Show."
Ebsen continues to write, record and perform music, as well as spend time with rescued horses on The Healing Equine Ranch in Calabasas, Calif.
She will play at 8 p.m. Tuesday, June 25, at The Playwright Public House, 258 A St., Ashland. Admission is free. Call 541-488-9128 or see www.kikiebsen.com for more information.

Like any highway engineer, Matt McLaughlin dreads coming across unexpected water, gas, cable, sewer, and electrical lines.
"It costs more than $1,000/hour to put an excavator on hold while a buried utility question is resolved," says McLaughlin, who oversees construction of the relocated utilities related to roadway construction in the Northern Virginia District for the Virginia State DOT (VDOT). "And in the case of a damage incident, the safety implications, in addition to public safety costs, are even greater — not to mention the cost of the repair, possible evacuations, and personal injury or loss of life."
In his quest to minimize these challenges on a $70 million reconstruction project in suburban Washington, D.C., McLaughlin made VDOT the first state transportation department to implement electronic marking intended for use by all participating utilities. The system combines radio-frequency identification (RFID), GPS, and GIS technologies, and is being developed by VDOT; the Gas Technologies Institute; the Virginia Utility Protection Service, which is the state one-call operation center; and others to create a single repository for buried utility mapping to which all stakeholders contribute and refer.
It's being tested at an intersection where two major routes, each with four lanes, are being expanded to six lanes with 28-foot medians. The average distance between pipe crossings along the 60-foot-wide roads is 3 feet, and more crossings will be added during the three-year utility-relocation phase. The crossings must be free of grade cuts, drainage crossings, traffic signals, and other construction elements.
"The relocation work is substantial, with every utility interest represented, including gas, telephone, power, CATV, two water authorities, sanitary sewer, and 13 fiber-optic companies, so the accuracy of the relocated facilities will have a significant impact to the project," says McLaughlin.
Passive underground markers have been in use for more than three decades, but RFID markers have capitalized on the signal transmitted by an interrogating device — in this case, a handheld RFID tag locator — and are designed to last for the life of the buried asset. Power is provided by the signal from the interrogating device signal, and information is read as a reflective radio frequency response.
Accuracy is another benefit. It helps eliminate the interference and false marking common to standard locators, particularly in areas as congested as McLaughlin's project site.
Although GPS is an important component of asset management for utilities and road departments, it provides only submeter accuracy, not the accuracy needed in real-world environments. An RFID tag identifies an asset within inches.
Likewise, conventional tracking provides only approximate position and depth; and when there are high-voltage lines overhead, a high water table, or other pipes or metal objects in close proximity, it can be difficult to pinpoint and accurately identify specific buried assets. Radio waves can distinguish not only between utilities but also between the specific assets of a particular utility when adjacent markers are tuned to the same frequency. This information is conveyed by the data programmed into the RFID tag.
What McLaughlin needed was a primary physical marking and locating method that would deliver accurate and reliable point location despite soil conditions, nearby utilities, or the temperature extremes normally found underground. He also needed a system that would translate his department's GPS language — station numbers and offsets — into the GPS language of latitude and longitude coordinates that utilities use.

CORPUS CHRISTI – Sophomore Trevor Belicek pitched a complete-game one-hit shutout to lead the Texas A&M – Corpus Christi baseball team to a 3-0 victory over Central Arkansas on Saturday at Chapman Field. Belicek carried a no-hitter into the ninth inning, and surrendered just two walks and two hit batsmen in the win.
With the victory, the Islanders returned into a first-place tie in the Southland, joining Stephen F. Austin and Southeastern Louisiana atop the league at 9-5. The Bears fell to 27-10 overall and 7-7 in the league with the defeat.
Belicek delivered five 1-2-3 innings and did not allow a runner past second base until the ninth. Chris Townsend was the spoiler for the Bears, as he earned a 2-1 count to lead off the final frame, and shot a single back up the middle to break up the no-no. The southpaw rebounded, though, getting the next two batters for the first two outs, then completed the game two batters later on a grounder to first. It marked the first shutout of the Uvalde, Texas, native's career.
Eric Weiss and Johnathan Gonzales each had two hits, while Gonzales, Zach Taylor and Brad Lamberti delivered RBI singles in the win. Eight of the nine Islanders hit safely in the contest against Jeffrey Enloe, who surrendered 10 hits and one walk in eight strong innings for UCA
The Islanders got all the offense they would need in the bottom of the first. With two down, Weiss got the rally started with a bunt single down the third base line. Gonzales followed with a chopper on the right side that found its way into no-mans land and resulted in an infield single. Taylor came up next, and ripped a grounder off the glove of a diving Garrett Brown at third to bring home Weiss and make it 1-0 in favor of the home squad.
Belicek was perfect through the first two, but lost his perfection in the third when he hit eight-hole hitter Justin Treece with a pitch. In the fourth, he surrendered a walk to Blake Marchal, but quickly negated him with a 6-4-3 double play off the bat of Johnathan Davis. He also surrendered a walk, this one to Michael Marietta, in the fifth, but emerged unscathed.
In the bottom of the fifth, the Islanders added an unearned run to double their lead. Cody Stephens led off by reaching on an error, then advanced to second on a stolen base. Brad Porras and Weiss were then retired in succession, but Gonzales ripped a single to left center, plating Stephens for a 2-0 advantage.
Belicek cruised through the next three innings, setting down the Bears 1-2-3 in each frame to carry his no-hitter into the ninth. Meanwhile, his teammates added an insurance run in the bottom of the eighth, again rallying with two outs. Jordan Lee started things with an infield single, and Kyle Danford then reached on an error to set up Lamberti. The catcher rose to the occasion, ripping an RBI single to left field to push the lead to 3-0.
The teams will wrap up their three-game series on Sunday, with first pitch slated for 1 p.m. on Chapman Field. Matt Danton will take the hill for the Islanders, while Bryce Biggerstaff will toe the rubber for UCA. Live stats and video will be available on GoIslanders.com and updates will be provided on Twitter (@CorpusBaseball).

Remembering the great Cuban vocalist, Rudy Calzado.
by Luis de Quesada
In Memoriam
A few days ago when my friend Bruce Polin told me the news about the death of a fellow Cuban, singer and songwriter Rudy Calzado, my answer to him was, "Cuban music loses another one of the great Calzado Brothers." First it was brother Sergio in Cuba and now it is Rudy! I first heard and saw Rudy Calzado right after he joined Fajardo Y Sus Estrellas as lead singer in Havana, around the fall of 1953. At that time, Rudy was featured in this great orchestra as the main vocalist and soloist. A bit later, in 1954, brother Sergio also joined him in the orchestra. Later still, around the end of that year, fellow "Santiaguero" Rafael "Felo" Bacallao also joined Fajardo's chorus. Felo, Rudy and Sergio were not only great singers, but also great dancers, Felo being the most skilled. Their on-stage dancing during the orchestra's performances captured the delirious applause of audiences and fans in Havana and throughout the island.
During the spring of 1955 maestro Enrique Jorrin, creator of the cha cha cha, briefly returned from Mexico to reorganize and expand his orchestra. He invited Rudy Calzado to join his then new orchestra as lead singer. Rudy accepted, and after recording some singles for RCA, and making some presentations on Cuban television, and at radio and musical and dancing events in Havana, he left with Jorrin to go to Mexico indefinitely. Rudy's on-stage dancing skills are mentioned in the RCA Victor Mexicana 1955 recording "Aprenda A Bailar El Cha Cha Cha," with "La Blusa Azul" on the flipside. While in Mexico, Rudy managed to shuttle back and forth to Havana every chance he got and was often featured in recordings and also live performances with different musical groups such as Beny More, Orquesta Kubavana de Carlos Barberia, Aldemaro Romero, Orquesta Novedades and Orquesta Sublime. With Beny More he was featured in the chorus of the RCA recording of "Tratame Como Soy." As I commented at the time to a friend in CMQ, "he's the only singer in Cuban music history who manages to be in both places at the same time." His Mexican tour with Jorrin can best be described as legendary and their recordings with both RCA Victor Mexicana and Orfeon were all superb. When Jorrin returned from Mexico in 1959, Rudy left the orchestra and a few months later joined Felix Reyna and brother Sergio in Reyna's newly formed Orquesta Estrellas Cubanas.
The following year, 1960, Rudy departed for New York City and there joined Belisario Lopez & His Orchestra as lead singer until 1964 when he left for the West Coast for an indefinite period of time. In New York City he also joined and recorded with Pacheco Y Su Charanga, Mongo Santamaria, Pupi Y Su Charanga and also recorded his first solo album for Alvarez Guedes' Gema label
Rudy Calzado Y Su Charanga
. He was also featured with Chano Martinez, Tito Puente, Machito, La Playa Sextette and recorded with several other groups in California's Bay Area, mostly with Mongo Santamaria for the Fantasy label. Later, in Los Angeles, he joined his old friend and coworker Rolando Lozano (of Orquesta Aragon and Orquesta America fame) in Charanga Antillana. While in California he shuttled back and forth to Mexico and there he recorded for Orfeon with a studio orchestra which he named Orquesta Ifa. In recent years he was featured in Boncana Maiga's "Africando"in New York City. Also recently Rudy returned to Havana and recorded several CD albums with Generoso Jimenez, Pio Leyva and others.
Rudy's songwriting skills fully matched his skills as a singer, dancer and director. Some of his outstanding hits recorded by such Cuban immortals as Vicentico Valdes, Fajardo, Jorrin, and others include a varied repertoire of top charting material such as: "Nunca Pienses Que Te Olvido," "Ki Ki Ri Ki," "Yo Soy Jiqui," "Dame Tu Cariño," "Aprenda A Bailar El Cha Cha Cha," "Yo Soy De Oriente," "Todo Eso Y Mas," "Lola Y El Merecumbe.""No Me Niegues Tu Cariño" and many others.
An important chapter in the history of Cuban music concludes with Rudy Calzado's departure from the world of the living, but his memory and legacy lives with us forever! Farewell dear old friend!

U.S. Magistrate Sally Shushan set Nagin's bond at $100,000 during his arraignment on charges that include bribery, wire fraud and filing false tax returns. She also set a preliminary trial date of April 29.
The charges against Nagin are the product of a City Hall corruption investigation that already has resulted in guilty pleas by two former city officials and two businessmen and a prison sentence for a former city vendor.
His arraignment marked a rare public appearance for Nagin, who now lives in Frisco, Texas, and has kept a low-profile since he left office in 2010.
Nagin didn't answer reporters' questions as he entered and left the courthouse, trailed by a gaggle of television cameras and news photographers. He didn't say much in court, either, except for responding to a series of routine yes-or-no questions from Shushan and uttering the words "not guilty" 21 times—once for each count he faces.
Nagin has to surrender his passport and needs permission from court officials to travel outside Louisiana and Texas while the case is pending.
Nagin was a political novice before he was first elected mayor in 2002, but Hurricane Katrina turned him into a national figure with a reputation for cringe-inducing rhetoric.
An indictment last month accuses Nagin, 56, of accepting more than $160,000 in bribes and truckloads of free granite for his family business in exchange for promoting the interests of Frank Fradella, a local businessman. Fradella pleaded guilty in June to conspiracy to commit bribery and has been cooperating with federal authorities.
Nagin also is charged with accepting at least $60,000 in payoffs from another businessman, Rodney Williams, for his help in securing city contracts for architectural, engineering and management services work. Williams pleaded guilty in December to a conspiracy charge.
The indictment also accuses Nagin of getting free private jet and limousine services to New York from an unidentified businessman who owned a New Orleans movie theater. Nagin is accused of agreeing to waive tax penalties that the businessman owed to the city on a delinquent tax bill in 2006.
From several city contractors, Nagin is accused of accepting free travel and vacation expenses for trips to Hawaii, Chicago, Las Vegas and Jamaica while in office.
Greg Meffert, a former technology official and deputy mayor under Nagin, pleaded guilty in 2010 to taking bribes and kickbacks in exchange for steering city contracts to businessman Mark St. Pierre. Anthony Jones, who served as the city's chief technology officer in Nagin's administration, also pleaded guilty to taking payoffs.
St. Pierre was convicted in May 2011 of charges that include conspiracy, bribery and money laundering. Nagin's indictment accuses him of accepting bribes from St. Pierre.
Nagin served two terms as mayor. Term limits prevented him from seeking a third.

The second of two men has been charged with beating up and robbing a man near Grand Caillou Road after Houma Police realized their suspect was already in the Terrebonne jail.
Houma detectives interviewed Caleb Wilson, 20, 1802 Effie St., Wednesday about an incident that happened over a week ago. Wilson is accused of emerging from a yard while the alleged victim was walking with two women March 26. Wilson and Leonard Danos, 20, 2623 Madge St., allegedly took his wallet and cellphone.
Wilson was in the jail on drug-possession charges and for failure to appear in court, records show. Police have additionally charged him with second-degree battery and simple robbery.
