The SGV Foundation and the co-presenters of the Entrepreneur Of The Year Philippines 2015 signed recently a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) at the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE). Present at the MOA signing were representatives from the PSE, the Department of Trade and Industry and Philippine Business for Social Progress as well as media sponsors BusinessWorld and the ABS-CBN News Channel.
Since its launch in 2003, the Entrepreneur Of The Year Philippines program has become one of the most prestigious awards programs in the local business community. The program recognizes the strength, dynamism and resilience of Filipino entrepreneurs for creating and operating sustainable, successful enterprises.
The search is open to all Filipino entrepreneurs. To be eligible, a nominee has to be a Filipino business owner or founder who is primarily responsible for the growth of his or her company. The nominee must still be active in business, which must have been in operation for at least two years. A completed nomination form, audited financial statements and other documents are required for a nomination to be considered for further judging. Nominations to the award will be accepted until May 31, 2015.
The theme for the 2015 program is "Game Changers" – a term that best describes entrepreneurs as those who win the game by changing it for the better. Capitalizing on their strategic vision, they see the possibilities and opportunities that others cannot. They bring about positive transformation by applying creative innovation infused with dauntless determination. As game changers, entrepreneurs support a greater purpose, which is to improve the current business landscape by challenging conventions and creating new paradigms that drive social and economic development.

ATH donates school supplies to Typhoon Yolanda victims
February 7, 2014
Despite the preparations for the upcoming busy season, the Asia-Pacific Talent Hub (ATH) still found time to give back to the students of Abuyog South Central School in Leyte who were adversely affected by Super Typhoon Yolanda last November 2013.
The typhoon devastated the students' homes and everything left inside, including their books and school supplies. Wanting to bring hope to the students and believing in the importance of quality education, the ATH set out on a mission to send the children much-needed supplies. The ATH outreach committee coordinated with Ms. Jane Marie Arias, a faculty member from the school.
Two boxes of the repacked bags were delivered to the Port of Manila for shipment. After four days, the bags arrived in Leyte and were then distributed to 98 Grade 1 and 130 Grade 2 students. Ms. Arias shared that the school's faculty members, as well as the principal, burst into tears when the bags arrived. They became even more emotional when they started reading the messages of hope our people wrote in the Christmas cards packed with the school supplies. One senior associate wrote "…lagi kang magpakabait, mag-aral mabuti at sumunod sa iyong mga magulang. Huwag kang mawalan ng pag-asa. Lagi mong tatandaan mahal ka ni Jesus. Lagi siyang nandiyan sa tabi mo at hindi ka niya pababayaan…"

SGV gives back to the Typhoon Yolanda victims
November 28, 2013
As part of our efforts to provide relief and aid to the victims of Typhoon Yolanda, the SGV Foundation (SGVF) channeled all international and local donations from our current partners and staff, alumni and EY offices in other countries into the SGVF Calamity Fund. The fund is initially being used for the following purposes:
SGV food sponsorship. SGV has been providing food through the SGV Foundation for DSWD volunteers helping in the Yolanda relief operations in the DSWD-National Resource Operations Center (NROC). This started last 15 November and will last until 3 Dec, 2013.
Donations to selected institutions directly involved in the relief efforts. Upon consolidating the calamity fund, SGVF will remit cash donations to identified NGOs and accredited organizations. These include the ABS-CBN Sagip Kapamilya Foundation, GMA Kapuso Foundation, Philippine National Red Cross, 700 Club Asia, St. Luke's Medical Center, Ateneo de Manila University, Habitat for Humanity, University of Santo Tomas, University of the East and World Vision.
Financial assistance for SGV staff and SGVF scholars directly affected by the typhoon. To date, we have provided financial assistance to 93 affected staff members. Medicine packs were also given to affected staff members who went home to their respective provinces.
At the MG level, volunteers have been encouraged to help the Department of Social Welfare and Development in repacking relief goods.
SGV sent volunteers to the three relief operations in Villamor Airbase, Cargohaus NAIA and Ateneo De Manila University from November 14-20, 2013. At least 150 SGV volunteers including partners and staff shared their time in helping out in the relief operations being run by the Department of Finance (DOF) and Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD). The volunteers helped out in the unloading of incoming goods, repacking and sacking of relief goods, and loading of sacked goods ready for shipping. They also assisted in volunteer management.
SGV Cebu organizes relief goods
Meanwhile, Cebu SGVeans joined forces last 16 November to pack relief goods such as canned food, rice, drinking water, medicines, candles and matches for the victims of the Typhoon Yolanda. Messages of encouragement and hope were written on the canned goods as a small gesture of comfort, letting the victims know that they are not alone. The relief goods were then dropped off at the University of the Philippines-Lahug, Cebu to be delivered together with other aid to the Northern parts of Cebu which were badly hit by the typhoon.
Your compassion and spirit of volunteerism have made all this possible. Thank you very much for your generosity and hard work.

Prior to the launch, SGVF's co-presenters for EOY 2012 — De La Salle University, the Department of Trade and Industry, the Development Bank of the Philippines, the Philippine Business for Social Progress, the Philippine Stock Exchange and the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship — signed a memorandum of agreement.
This year's EOY carries the theme Passion. Program director Tonette Tionko, shares, "Passion is the fuel that sets afire the entrepreneurial spirit. It is what compels men and women to believe in and pursue their dreams. It is the common thread that binds entrepreneurs. Through their enthusiasm and conviction, Filipino entrepreneurs motivate others and contribute positively to the economy."
SGV Foundation hold annual meeting for FY 2011-2012
The Board of Trustees, management and Committees of the SGV Foundation held their annual meeting on 25 November, 2011 at the SGV Bayanihan Executive Lounge.
The meeting began with Chairman Cirilo P. Noel calling for a moment of silent prayer for former SGV Managing Partner Rizalino "Roy" S. Navarro who until his passing earlier this year was a member of the Board of Trustees of the SGV Foundation. In his honor, the Foundation turned over to his surviving spouse, Ms. Sally Navarro, donations to the Kapampangan Development Foundation and the Philippine Business for Education Foundation, organizations that the late Mr. Navarro supported.
The Board also welcomed SGV Partners Emmanuel C. Alcantara, and Gemilo J. San Pedro as new members, joining Cirilo P. Noel, J. Carlitos G. Cruz, Erlinda T. Villanueva, Roberto Jose L. Castillo, Roberto F. De Ocampo, Grace Glory Go, Milwida M. Guevara, Kasigod V. Jamias, Rodolfo F. Jeturian, Guillermo D. Luchangco, Wilson P. Tan, Oscar S. Reyes, and Serafin U. Salvador Jr.
The Projects Committee is headed by Chairman Cynthia A. Manlapig with members J. Carlitos G. Cruz as Chairman, Project Advisory Group on Accounting, Management, and Related Fields, Winston A. Chan as Chairman, Project Advisory Group on Information and Communication Technology, Wilson P. Tan as Chairman, Project Advisory Group on Institutional Development, Ramon D. Dizon as Chairman, Project Advisory Group on Vocational Training, and Celia S. Samson, Executive Director.
The Investment Committee is headed by Chairman Wilson P. Tan with members Erlinda T. Villanueva, Cynthia A. Manlapig and Virginia T. Obcena.
For FY 2011-2012, the Foundation will continue working to promote nation-building through various projects. Its primary advocacies will include: Education, through programs that aim to improve Basic and Public educational systems; Institutional Development through the Entrepreneur Of the Year (EOY) program, which will be enhanced by the EOY Academy, a venue that will allow EOY nominees and winners to share knowledge with budding entrepreneurs; and Social Development by continuing projects in support of Gawad Kalinga and the SGV Museum.
Vice-Chairman J. Carlitos G. Cruz also announced the launch of the Foundation's official website, coinciding with the SGV Foundation's 45th anniversary.
SGV Foundation takes another big step for education
SGV & Co. and the SGV Foundation successfully held their first charity race called First Step – The SGV Run for Learning on November 6, 2011 at the SM Mall of Asia Complex. The stormy weather did not deter the SGV & Co. partners, staff, clients and friends who gamely ran the 3-, 5- or 10-kilometer routes for a great cause.
First Step raised funds to benefit the Aklat, Gabay, Aruga Tungo sa Pangarap at Pag-asa (AGAPP) Foundation, a not-for-profit organization that aims to improve the quality of basic public school education in the Philippines through the construction of better learning facilities. The turnout of some 2000 runners contributed greatly to the goal of building two classroom-libraries for public preschool children.
SGV Museum unveiled
Celebrating 65 years of SyCip, Gorres, Velayo & Co. in the Philippines, the SGV Foundation together with the Ayala Foundation led the opening of the SGV Museum on June 28, 2011. SGV partners joined founder Mr. Washington SyCip to officially unveil the museum. The SGV Museum features a memorabilia room, a gallery of the Firm's art collection, a reconstruction of Mr. SyCip's early office complete with a collection of his prized owls, roosters and turtles, as well as an interactive timeline showing SGV's rich heritage and legacy, its evolution since its establishment 65 years ago and its contributions to business, government and education sectors in the country.
SGV Foundation Chairman and President Vic Noel's opening remarks encapsulated what the opening of the SGV Museum represents, "the SGV Museum is the Firm's gift to the future, a means by which future SGV staff could learn not only how SGV began, but also what is stands for — integrity, quality and leadership."
The launch was graced with guests which include Mr. Jaime Augusto Zobel de Ayala, former US Ambassador Thomas Hubbard and Ambassador Roberto Romulo.
SGV welcomes the Ayala Group of Companies
13 January 2012
SGV's leadership, led by Chairman and Managing Partner Vic Noel, Deputy Managing Partner Itos Cruz, MC1 Leader Jessie Cabaluna and joined by Founder Wash SyCip, welcomed the officers and executives of the Ayala Group of Companies to a reception on 9 January at the SGV Museum. Highlight of the reception was the formal turnover of the Fernando Zobel painting Las Soledades de Lope de Vega from the SGV Foundation to the Ayala Foundation. It will become part of the Ayala Museum's permanent art collection.
The gift symbolizes the enduring friendship between SGV and the Ayala Group of Companies. The event's guest of honor, Ayala Corporation Chairman and CEO Jaime Augusto Zobel de Ayala expressed his gratitude as he was invited to share a few words. For Wash, the painting was more than just a piece of art. "The decision to buy the painting was one of the best decisions I've made," he shared. "I'm very happy it has found a home close to our hearts at the Ayala Museum."
Entrepreneur of the Year Philippines 2011 Search Kicks Off
The SGV Foundation launched the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year Philippines 2011 (EOYP) program on March 1, 2011 on the ABS-CBN News Channel (ANC) cable television show On The Scene.
Prior to the launch, a Memorandum of Agreement was signed between the SGV Foundation and its co-presenters, namely: De La Salle University, the Department of Trade and Industry, the Development Bank of the Philippines, the Philippine Business for Social Progress, the Philippine Stock Exchange and the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship.
The search is open to all Filipino entrepreneurs. To be eligible, a nominee has to be a Filipino business owner or founder who is primarily responsible for the growth of his or her company. The nominee must still be active in business, which must have been in operation for at least two years. A completed nomination form, audited financial statements and other documents are required for a nomination to be considered for further judging.
There will be five award categories for this year: Master Entrepreneur, Small Business Entrepreneur, Social Entrepreneur, Tourism Entrepreneur and Woman Entrepreneur. From among these category winners will emerge the EOYP 2011, who will represent the country in the 2012 World Entrepreneur Of The Year awards in Monte Carlo, Monaco in June 2012.
The theme for the 2011 program is "Shine." SGV Foundation Chair C. Noel shares, "To be an entrepreneur is to be a beacon, a shining ray of hope and inspiration. To have dreams that burn bright with passion. To blaze the trail, that others may follow in their footsteps. The Entrepreneur of the Year Philippines 2011program salutes the courage, spirit and determination of our Filipino entrepreneurs, and the indispensable contribution that they make to our people and our economy. Through their works, their stories and their convictions, they show us all what it means to truly shine."
Nomination ends on June 30, 2011. For nomination forms and other information, the EOYP secretariat can be contacted at 891-0307 local 7766 or e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.
In Davao and Cebu, members of the business communities and media attended a presentation on the EOYP 2011 on April 27 and May 9, 2011, respectively. Through these events, the EOYP program hopes to attract more nominees and give them the opportunity to share their success stories and be an inspiration to their fellow entrepreneurs.
EOYP 2010 winner Tennyson Chen recently came back from Monte Carlo, Monaco where he represented the Philippines in the Ernst & Young World Entrepreneur Of The Year 2011 Awards.

Antonio Banderas was reportedly rushed to hospital on Thursday (26Jan17) after suffering "agonising pains in his chest" during a workout session.
The 56-year-old actor was exercising at his home in Surrey, England on Thursday when the pain began, leading to paramedics being called. He was rushed to St Peter's Hospital in Chertsey by ambulance, according to Britain's The Sun newspaper.
After being kept in for observation, doctors decided Antonio was well enough to return home.
Confirming to The Sun he'd suffered an "episode", The Mask of Zorro star also praised the medics who had helped him.
Antonio moved to England in 2015, and now lives in a $3 million mansion in Cobham with Dutch investment consultant girlfriend Nicole Kimpel, who he has been dating since 2014, the same year he announced his split from Melanie Griffith, his wife of 18 years.
He previously opened up to Hello! magazine about his reasons for relocating, admitting the Surrey lifestyle is a more relaxed one.
"This house gives me the simplicity and freedom I need in my life at the moment. I find Surrey magical," he explained. "I am not a party person any more so I have the space and peace to write and really get inside my own head - I am working on several scripts."
Antonio is still a successful actor as well, with one of his most recent films being The 33. The movie told the story of the Chilean mining disaster in 2010, and shooting it took a huge toll on his body.
"The most physically demanding part was being in one of the mines," he previously told The Independent newspaper. "It was a very toxic mine with a lot of methane gas that leaves a metallic feeling in your mouth for days."

It says that "One or more network protocols are missing on this computer" and also when I hover that message it reads "Windows Sockets registry entries required for network connectivity are missing" I've been reading online and I'm not the only person with this issue. I have no AV or any outside software installed other than what came with Windows. I'm currently running Parted Magic to connect to MDL right now. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thank you.

Pakistan Protection Ordinance- a futile exercise
1 comment:
- Asad Jahangir said...
A very good critique of the laws relating to terrorism. You are absolutely right that the law against terrorism is open ended and does not target organised groups that threaten the state and society. A Punjab review of terrorism cases showed 19 cases that ended in compromise. In Sindh of the 1100 terrorist cases pending trial not more that thirty relate to terrorist activity. Recently a terrorist court convicted an ordinary felon who threatened suicide with a pistol outside a travel agency in Lahore.
You are absolutely right in proposing a fresh look at the Anti Terrorist Act with a view to ensure that it targets only groups that threaten state and society. The PPO will make things worse and further accentuate the feral image of the law enforcement agencies.

This WHOLE Time Migos' Takeoff Was Boo'd Up And The Internet Has Questions
Plus, see more celebrity couples show love.
They say beauty is both a blessing and a curse. Right now, Lupita Nyong'o can probably attest to how true that is. There's the upside of being one of the most gorgeous women alive: she just signed on as the new face of Lancôme, the first Black woman to do so. Then there is the downside: Nigerian-Cameroonian singer Dencia has gone on a Twitter rampage against Nyong'o, taking it so far as to say that the actress is "owned" by the white man.
It seems that Dencia has likely been waiting for this chance to publicly bash the Oscar winner. Back in March during a speech, Nyong'o told the audience about a letter she once got from a fan that said, "Dear Lupita, I think you're really lucky to be this Black but yet this successful in Hollywood overnight. I was just about to buy Dencia's Whitenicious cream to lighten my skin when you appeared on the world map and saved me." The actress went on to explain that her "heart bled a little when I read those words." Though the actress did not seem to be throwing shade against skin bleacher Whitenecious, Dencia took it as shots fired. And so when the Lancôme contract was announced, she tweeted, "'Oh @Lupita_Nyongo cln't talk abt the bleaching creams white people (Companies) make cuz the white man pays her, they own her!!."
It goes without saying that telling a person — a Black person, and extra particularly a Black person who just won an Oscar for playing a slave — that they are owned by someone is the lowest of the low blows. But Dencia, who also implied that Nyong'o is a hypocrite because Lancôme makes skin lighteners, has recently made her name in the U.S. for her crazy talk and unwavering defense of Whitenicious. And if you were bold enough to go on Twitter to challenge her for making money off of selling bleaching cream, then she likely would have let you know that you could kiss her much-lightened ass.
Yet even with her past antics, this latest is threatening to become the one that will get the most attention, for two simple reasons: 1) The entire world loves Lupita and no one feels like hearing you say otherwise. 2) Are you expecting a lot of popular support for attacking a woman who made a speech about her insecurities and vulnerabilities as a very dark-skinned woman, one who hopes her own popularity will remind other girls and women that it's not just light-skinned Black that is beautiful?
In the speech, which Dencia so clearly hated, Nyong'o revealed an honesty that few celebrities put out there, and at the same time, giving women everywhere a needed reminder that they don't suffer alone with their beauty anxieties. When was the last time you heard an actress say that they once "prayed" to look a different way and you believed them — and didn't think they were doing it for PR? Nyong'o has not bothered to respond to Dencia's attack because aside from being a stellar talent, she is also especially good at taking the high road.

Class One: Degree Sequences
- Edmund Barnett
- 3 years ago
- Views:
1 Class One: Degree Sequences For our purposes a graph is a just a bunch of points, called vertices, together with lines or curves, called edges, joining certain pairs of vertices. Three small examples of graphs are drawn in Figure 0.1. It is important to note that there is no geometry in play here. These drawings are just to help us visualize things. Figure 0.1: Some small examples of graphs. We say two vertices are adjacent if they are joined by an edge, and that two vertices are non-adjacent if they are not joined by an edge. Drawn below on the left is a pair of adjacent vertices, and on the right is a pair of non-adjacent vertices. The only requirements we make of our graphs are the following (Figure 0.2): No loops, that is, no edge can start and end at the same vertex. No parallel edges, that is, there can be no more than one edge between every pair of vertices.
2 Figure 0.2: No loops or parallel edges are allowed in our graphs. We give things names so as to distinguish and describe them. A graph is completely determined by its vertices and edges, and so we write G = (V, E) to denote the graph G with vertex set V and edge set E. When discussing a specific graph we name the vertices, which in turn allows us to describe the edges, since an edge is determined by the two vertices it links. For practice lets label and explicitly describe the three graphs drawn in Figure 0.1: A 1 2 Y B C 4 3 W Z X G 1 = (V 1, E 1 ) G 2 = (V 2, E 2 ) G 3 = (V 3, E 3 ) Vertices V 1 Edges E 1 A, B, C AB BC CD Vertices V 2 1, 2, 3, Edges E Vertices V 3 Edges E 3 W,X,Y,Z WX WY WZ XY XZ YZ Considering a graph G = (V, E), we will always denote by n the number of vertices in G, and denote by m the number of edges in G. Observe that n equals the size of V and that m equals the size of E. In turn we say that G is a graph on n vertices with m edges. So in the above, we see that G 1 is a graph on 3 vertices with 3 edges, G 2 is a graph on 4 vertices with 5 edges, and G 3 is a graph on 4 vertices with 6 edges. Draw some small graphs and think about the following questions: What is the least number of edges a graph on n vertices can have? What is the most number of edges a graph on n vertices can have? How would you build such a graph?
3 Figure 0.3: What vertices of degree 0,1,2,3,4 look like. Is there an easy way to distinguish two graphs from one another? How many possible graphs are there on n vertices? Lemma. For every graph G on n vertices with m edges, we always have that 0 m ( ) n = 2 n (n 1). 2 Corollary. There are at most 2 (n 2) possible graphs on n vertices. The degree of a vertex v in a graph G is the number of edges which meet at v. For instance, in G 1 each vertex has degree 2 and in G 3 each vertex has degree 3, whereas in G 2 vertices 1 and 3 have degree 3, while vertices 2 and 4 have degree 2. For a specific vertex v, we denote its degree by deg(v). Lemma. For every vertex v in a graph G on n vertices, we always have that 0 deg(v) n 1. We say a vertex is even if its degree is an even number and that a vertex is odd if its degree is an odd number. And so, we see that every vertex in G 1 is even, every vertex in G 3 is odd, and in G 2 vertices 1 and 3 are odd, while vertices 2 and 4 are even. The degree sequence of a graph G = (V, E) is just a list of the degrees of each vertex in V. For instance, the degree sequence of G 1 is (2, 2, 2), the degree sequence of G 2 is (2, 2, 3, 3), and the degree sequence of G 3 is (3, 3, 3, 3).
4 Figure 0.4: Graphs with degree sequences (1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3) and (2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4). Draw some small graphs and think about the following questions: How small can the degree of a vertex in a graph be? How large can the degree of a vertex in a graph be? Is there a family of graphs such that every vertex has degree 0? Is there a family of graphs such that every vertex has degree 1? Is there a family of graphs such that every vertex has degree 2? Is there a family of graphs such that every vertex either has degree 1 or degree 2? Is there a graph on n vertices such that every vertex has degree n 1? Given integers p and q, is there a graph such that every vertex has either degree p or q? Is there a graph such that all of its vertices have the different degrees? Does every graph have an even vertex? Does every graph have an odd vertex? Is there a graph with exactly two even vertices?
5 Is there a graph with exactly two odd vertices? Is there a graph with exactly one even vertex? Is there a graph with exactly one odd vertex? If you know the degree sequence of a graph, what can you say about the number of edges? Is there a graph with degree sequence (0, 1)? Is there a graph with degree sequence (1, 1, 1)? Is there a graph with degree sequence (1, 1, 1, 3)? Is there a graph with degree sequence (1, 2, 2, 3)? Is there a graph with degree sequence (1, 1, 2, 2, 4)? Is there a graph with degree sequence (2, 2, 2, 3, 3)? Is there a graph with degree sequence (1, 3, 3, 3)? Is there a graph with degree sequence (1, 2, 3, 4, 4)? Can different graphs have the same degree sequence? Lemma. The sum of the degrees of all the vertices in a graph is equal to twice the number of edges. Corollary. At every party the total number of hands shaken is even. Corollary. The number of odd vertices in a graph is always even.
6 Corollary. For every graph G the following hold: There is always a vertex of degree at least 2m n. There is always a vertex of degree at most 2m n. There s always more to say... Theorem (Erdős-Gallai). Let d 1 d 2... d n be a sequence of integers. 1. If we allow loops and parallel edges, then there exists a graph with degree sequence (d 1, d 2,..., d n ) if and only if d 1 + d d n is even. 2. If we allow parallel edges, then there exists a graph with degree sequence (d 1,..., d n ) if and only if d d n is even and d 1 d d n. 3. There exists a graph with degree sequence (d 1,..., d n ) if and only if d d n is even and for each 1 k n we have that d d k k(k 1) + min(d k+1, k) min(d n, k).

These basses are highly regarded by players, and are becoming harder and harder to find. Fantastic tone, coupled with Maton's legendary neck and perfect balance. This very original and tidy example comes with its original high-quality hard case with metal "Maton" badge.
Only 473 JB4s were produced between 1977 and 1994, with serial numbers from 001 to 887. The JB4 (also known as JB-4 and JBIV) is a classic bass that is fast becoming a collectable vintage Maton. This bass has serial number 573, which places it in 1982 as its year of manufacture.
This bass has been fitted a long time back with active EMG pickups, which are fantastic! The standard P/J configuration has been kept, but the jazz pickups are doubled, giving a wonderful fat tone which loses nothing in clarity. The more evenly matched outputs of the single Precision-style pickup and the dual Jazz-style pickups allows for a very useful blending of Precision and Jazz bass tones. Factory-fitted brass nut and Badass bridge on a Rock Maple/Black African Ebony neck-through construction with an Australian Sassafrass body give great sustain and tone.

The Community Clinic holds benefit gala
Jody Hopkins, the clinic's director, said that she was very pleased with how the gala was received. "We had a goal of 300 tickets and as of last night we had sold 294, so we are well on our way," she said.
The clinic has come a long way from its humble roots in a strip center near Kroger on Sawdust Rd. in 1996, said Hopkins. It has since moved into a stand-alone facility on Pine Manor Dr., just behind Pier 1 in Oak Ridge North and runs on about 150 volunteers.
Saturday's event included both a live and a silent auction with items spanning everything from a trip for four to Walt Disney World, through a host of entertainment passes, gifts and collectibles. The proceeds will help reach the needs of over 5,000 patients who utilize the clinic's resources every year.
"Our goal, eventually, is to be open five days a week from 9-5, but it is completely dependent on events like this," said Hopkins. "Because we get no federal funding, our success is dependent on our private sponsors."
The clinic runs completely on volunteers and is privately funded through foundation grants and local businesses, including Anadarko, Dr. and Mrs. Paul Decker, John P. McGovern Foundation and many others.
Volunteers like Bryon Satterfield, D.D.S., who also serves as president of the clinic's board as well as dental director, and his wife Michele have been intimately involved with the growth of the clinic since 1998.
Satterfield said that the volunteers usually spend about two nights a week for three hours at the clinic. Most are found by word-of-mouth, but there always seems to be a good supply in and around the community. Unlike the overwhelming demand that the community has for health care, he said, "We'd like to make the dental care we offer comprehensive, but that would require more dental hygienists and staff."
Whatever the cost, many agree that the demand for zero cost (to patient) health care is imperative in the area. Linda Cary, the outgoing president of Family Outreach of Montgomery County, a program that works with at-risk families, said that the niche that the clinic fulfills is invaluable.
"There has been such an influx of low income families, many are Hispanic, in the area and few have insurance," said Cary. "The need among these people as well as among the working poor is what the clinic is all about," she said.
For more information about the clinic and its services please visit www.communityclinic.net or call (281) 364-7889.

The Castle Arms Inn, Snape
Relaxing, 14th-century inn with real ales, good food and comfortable accommodation
The Castle Arms Inn, Snape near Bedale, North Yorkshire DL8 2TB
RATING: Food 4; Ambience 4; Service 4.5; Drinks 4; Toilets 3.5; Website 3
Ian and Lisa, who have run Grade II-listed, 14th century, Castle Arms Inn for 18 months, plus their Italian head chef Roberto, went out of their way to ensure we had a pleasant stay.
Roberto even emerged from the kitchen to make sure that special diets were catered for – you can't ask for more. These qualities, plus the, relaxing, intimate atmosphere of the Castle Arms, made this an ideal stop-over point en route from Edinburgh to London.
The 32-capacity, candlelit restaurant, seating 32 people, retained the character of the pub. The flagstone floor and beamed ceiling were features. The adjacent bar and tap room – with award-winning locally, brewed ales – areas can accommodate another 24 diners in a more relaxed atmosphere with, in winter, roaring open fires.
The menu is supplemented by an ever-changing specials board reflecting seasonal ingredients, including whatever is the catch of the day. Roberto's Mediterranean background is reflected in the menu and his passion for food, and buying local when possible, is evident. My steak could be traced to a farm five miles away.
Accommodation is comfortable and the village atmosphere meant a peaceful night's sleep. Worth noting, behind the hotel there is certificated Camping and Caravanning Club certificated site which accept five caravans or motorhomes and usually tents, space permitting.
Ripon, Thirsk, Wetherby, Catterick and York races are within easy reach as are six golf courses and nearby attractions include the Yorkshire Dales, North Yorks Moors, Thorp Perrow Arboretum and Ripon Cathedral.
