(written from a Production point of view)
Acting apparently restless and irrational, Captain Kirk inexplicably orders the Enterprise into Romulan space where the ship is quickly captured by the enemy and Kirk held captive aboard their flagship.
- " Enterprise medical log, stardate 5027.3. Dr. Leonard McCoy recording; I'm concerned about Captain Kirk. He shows indications of increasing tension and emotional stress. I can find no reason for the captain's behavior, except possibly that we've been on patrol too long without relief and diversion. He has resisted all of my attempts to run a psychological profile on him."
Captain Kirk has been behaving irrationally of late, as noted in McCoy's medical log. Kirk then inexplicably orders helmsman Sulu to take the Enterprise across the Romulan Neutral Zone and into Romulan space, where it is quickly surrounded by the Romulans – who are now using Klingon-style vessels.
Act One Edit
Kirk instructs Lieutenant Uhura to contact Starfleet Command and transmit all log entries. Sub-Commander Tal demands the immediate surrender of the Enterprise. Kirk says he will blow up the Enterprise if any Romulans attempt to take it. Tal tells Kirk that no one should have to choose quickly to die, and gives Kirk one hour to surrender the ship. If he does not, he and his crew's deaths are certain.
In an exchange of hostages, Kirk and Spock transport aboard the Romulan vessel, where they meet Tal's superior, a female commander. Kirk is accused of invading Romulan space in an attempt to steal a newly developed cloaking device for study by the Federation. The commander points out that there are no methods to coerce a Vulcan to speak, but threatens to torture Kirk until he confesses his crime – or dies. Spock, however, testifies that Kirk was not under Starfleet orders; he is mentally unstable and has ordered the Enterprise across the Romulan Neutral Zone for his own glorification. An enraged Kirk is taken to a holding cell.
Act Two Edit
The Romulan commander broadcasts a message to the Enterprise informing them of what has transpired. She orders the crew to have the Enterprise follow her to Romulus, where the crew will be processed and then released back to the Federation. Chief engineer Montgomery Scott retorts that he takes no orders except those of Captain James T. Kirk, causing the slightest of smiles to flicker across Kirk's face.
Thereafter the Romulan commander attempts to persuade Spock to side with his Romulan "cousins," take command of the Enterprise and accompany the commander back to Romulus. She wonders why an officer of his abilities was never given the opportunity to command, despite his 18 years of service to Starfleet. She says that Spock must have his own ship but he points out that it is she that needs a ship: the Enterprise. She admits that bringing the Enterprise to Romulus would be considered a great accomplishment. In the process, she attempts to woo him, which he finds moving to his Human – and emotional – side. Spock attempts to walk down the forbidden corridor, but respects the commander's wish that only loyal Romulans walk down it.
Meanwhile, Kirk injures himself when he is transferred to a holding cell aboard the Romulan ship. McCoy beams aboard to examine him. McCoy reports to the commander that he is mentally incapacitated, which seems to corroborate Spock's testimony. She proclaims Spock to be the commander of the Enterprise. This leads to an altercation between Spock and Kirk, in which Spock uses the Vulcan death grip on him. McCoy pronounces Kirk dead.
Act Three Edit
Kirk is brought back aboard the Enterprise and is revived by McCoy; the "death grip" is revealed to be a simple nerve block. Another truth is learned: Kirk and Spock are working under Federation orders to steal the cloaking device. Kirk asks McCoy to surgically alter him to appear Romulan. Nurse Chapel and Scotty are brought into the conspiracy.
Meanwhile, the Romulan commander brings Spock to dinner. He notes that the food is much better on board than it is on the Enterprise, being a powerful inducement. They drink a blue beverage, followed by an orange colored beverage. She continues her promise that a place can be found for Spock in the Romulan Star Empire. She promises him that Romulan women, unlike Vulcan women, are not dedicated to pure logic and the sterility of non-emotion. She demands a token of his love: he must lead some Romulans on board the Enterprise and bring the ship to Romulus. He agrees, but asks that they wait an hour in her chamber before proceeding. She whispers her first name in his ear. Spock finds it a name incongruous with a Romulan soldier. The Romulan commander tells Spock that she will now "transform into a woman," and goes off to change out of her uniform.
Wearing the uniform from one of the Romulan prisoners, Kirk transports aboard the Romulan battle cruiser. While the Romulan commander is changing, Spock contacts Kirk with his communicator and speaks low. Spock reveals the location of the cloaking device. Their transmission is detected on the Romulan bridge and Sub-Commander Tal is alerted. While Spock and the commander proceed with their intimate time together, Kirk makes his way to the forbidden corridor. Sub-Commander Tal interrupts the commander and Spock, saying through the door that the matter is urgent. The commander reluctantly allows him to enter, where he informs her of the source of the alien transmission: right there, in the commander's chamber. Spock is discovered. All proceed urgently to the cloaking device.
Kirk removes the cloaking device from its control panel and has Scotty beam him with it back to the Enterprise. Upon returning, Scott takes the device and installs it into the deflector shield from engineering. Back on board the Romulan ship, the commander confronts Spock; she wonders who he is that he has done this. Spock replies, "First officer of the Enterprise." She slaps him across the face upon learning of his betrayal of her. Spock asks what the Romulan's present form of execution is.
Act Four Edit
- "Captain's log, stardate 5027.4. Commander Scott has less than fifteen minutes to install the Romulans' cloaking device, and get it working. I hope Mr. Spock can buy us the time we need."
Kirk returns to the bridge with Romulan physiology; however he appears, the crew is happy to see him. He quips that the reports of his death were premature. He orders Sulu to plot a course back home and for Chekov to man the sensors to locate Spock.
The commander learns of Spock's complicity in the scheme and prepares to have him executed. He asks for twenty minutes to exercise the Romulan Right of Statement. He begins that he is guilty of the charge of sabotage – but he had carried out his duty due to the fact that the Romulan cloaking device poses a threat to the Federation.
Chekov locates Spock by using the sensors to isolate the Vulcan life signs and establishes a transporter lock as Scotty finishes connecting the cloaking device. While making his final statement, Spock is beamed back aboard the Enterprise – with the commander holding onto him. Brought to the bridge, the commander orders Tal to destroy the Enterprise, leaving Kirk to prepare to fight in case Scott is unable to activate the cloaking device. Scott succeeds, however, and Enterprise escapes with the Romulan commander.
While escorting her to her quarters on Deck 2, Spock tells the commander that he regrets that she was unwittingly brought aboard the Enterprise. He confesses that his only interest was the cloaking device when he came on board her ship, but now he tells her that his interest wasn't all pretend. She tells him the Romulans will soon develop a way to penetrate the cloaking field technology Starfleet now possesses. "Military secrets are the most fleeting of all," he says. "I hope you and I have exchanged something more permanent." The commander and Spock agree that what has passed between them will be their secret. Returning to the bridge, Spock takes command from Kirk, who leaves for sickbay to get his Human appearance restored by Dr. McCoy.

Story and scriptEdit
- D.C. Fontana's initial inspiration for this story and its title was the Pueblo incident which involved the capture of an American patrol boat, the USS Pueblo (AGER-2), by North Korean forces during the Vietnam War. The incident occurred on January 23, 1968, just two months before Fontana completed her first draft story outline. [1]
- Fontana noted, "It was really based on the Pueblo Incident, in the sense that here's this ship caught spying and they have to find a justification for their being there. Kirk's sanity is put on the line in terms of why they're there. Then, of course, they have to get out safely, preferably with the information they came for. Now that's not what happened with the Pueblo, but the Pueblo Incident kicked off this line of thinking in my mind." (Captains' Logs: The Unauthorized Complete Trek Voyages)
- In Fontana's first draft script, dated 7 June 1968, it is explicitly stated that the Romulans have an "improved" undetectable version of the cloaking device, which was a prismatic type of mechanism. It was stored in a laboratory waiting to be installed on the Romulan ship, rather than an already operational mechanism. (The Star Trek Compendium)
- Also in Fontana's original draft, both Kirk and McCoy are disguised as Romulans and steal the cloaking device. (The Star Trek Compendium)
- The first draft of the episode stressed the attraction between Spock and the Romulan commander based upon their common heritage. (The Star Trek Compendium) Originally, Spock was supposed to kiss the commander (the first draft script describes Spock as "raining kisses on every square inch above the shoulder"), but both Nimoy and Linville agreed they needed something different from normal "Human" love expressions, and suggested the hand contact instead. Nimoy, in fact, wrote a long letter of complaint to Gene Roddenberry about this issue. In Star Trek Lives!, Dorothy Fontana tells how she attempted to warn Roddenberry about fan reactions if Spock were to behave out of character. She insisted that Nimoy was right, that the pair's interactions should suggest "an alien sexuality, but not Human passion". Even with Nimoy and Linville's restrained gestural contact, Fontana was flooded with letters from fans. Aware of the pon farr and believing it meant Vulcans had sex only once in seven years (Theodore Sturgeon's original idea), they complained that the scene was out of character. Years later, Fontana wrote sex scenes into Vulcan's Glory, establishing that the pon farr is only a fertility cycle and that Vulcans can have sex anytime.
Props and setsEdit
- Although long thought otherwise, from the very first draft, the script had the Romulans using Klingon ships. The series had a lot of money invested in the Klingon model and needed to get its money's worth.
- This episode was originally aired before "Elaan of Troyius" so when the audience first saw the Klingon ships, they were being used by Romulans.
- Photographic effects using special mattes were produced of the D7 class studio model that, when combined, gave the appearance that three warships had surrounded the Enterprise.
- The Matt Jefferies-designed Romulan symbol, composed of a yellow hexagon in the center with three colored spokes coming out of it, can be seen outside the commander's quarters, above her door. This symbol never appears again in any Star Trek series or movie.
- The Romulans use Klingon disruptor pistols.
- The Klingon bridge set is reused from "Elaan of Troyius." Romulans refer to their bridge as "Control Central."
- The Romulan cloaking device prop consists of part of Nomad's head and a globe from "Return to Tomorrow". The Romulan console that holds the cloaking device had been used before in "I, Mudd" and "The Return of the Archons" and was used again in "Whom Gods Destroy".
- The computer device in the Romulan Commander's quarters, used to record Spock's testimony, reappeared later in "The Lights of Zetar", in the decompression chamber room. The top of the device is a round computer monitor (without its lower, goose-neck part), recycled from the pilot episodes. [2]
- Both the Romulan commander's uniform and casual attire were designed by William Ware Theiss. The commander's uniform was patterned after the male Romulan costume, but like those of her Federation counterparts, it revealed more of her form. In a rare instance, Theiss' sketch of the commander's uniform, which appears in the Star Trek: The Original Series Sketchbook (p. 154), and resultant costume were identical in appearance. A photo of both the commander's uniform and "something more comfortable" also appear together in the Sketchbook.
- Unlike in "Balance of Terror", the Romulans depicted here don't wear black gloves.
- Alexander Courage returned to compose the music for this episode. Later in the season, he also composed music for "Plato's Stepchildren", his last score for Star Trek. In the second season, Courage composed about a half-hour of musical cues and conducted some music for the series.
- This episode is the first to feature a female starship commander.
- This is the second and final appearance of Romulan characters in TOS.
- The Romulans have improved their cloaking system since "Balance of Terror" and "The Deadly Years". In the former, Spock refers to it as an "invisibility screen" that can mask a Bird-of-Prey's appearance, but not its motion. In "The Enterprise Incident," the cloaking device now renders a ship undetectable while moving, and not even the Romulans themselves can track a vessel so equipped.
- According to the Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion, Linville was asked to reprise her role as the Romulan commander for the Next Generation episode "Face of the Enemy", but the actress was unavailable.
- Kirk's comment that the report of his death was premature is an allusion to Mark Twain responding to an early obituary. Jean-Luc Picard makes a similar comment in TNG: "Samaritan Snare" and in Star Trek: First Contact, as does Kasidy Yates in DS9: "What You Leave Behind".
- This episode depicts transportation of intruders or prisoners between opposing ships as a simple matter done at will. Later incarnations of Star Trek establish that shields prevent the use of a transporter, and both opposing parties must lower them if any transports are to be made.
- Fontana remarked, "Overall it was not a bad episode, but I did have a lot of complaints about it and things that weren't approached or handled right… Let's face it, the romantic scene between the Romulan commander and Spock was totally out of context. Any Romulan worth her salt would have instantly suspected Spock because they are related races. That was wrong. Kirk's attitudes were wrong. A simple thing – the cloaking device was supposed to be a very small thing, about the size of a watch, for instance, and it could be easily hidden. Here's Kirk running around with this thing that looks like a lamp. You know, highly visible. This is stupidity as well as illogical thinking. Visually it was stupid, conceptually it was very bad. There were a lot of things, little things, that were changed, but my biggest objection is the scene between Spock and the woman, because I really did not believe it. And I did not believe that the Romulan did not suspect Spock of something underhanded. She does know enough about Vulcan and Vulcans to know that something's afoot." (Captains' Logs: The Unauthorized Complete Trek Voyages)
Remastered informationEdit
"The Enterprise Incident" was the sixty-fourth episode of the remastered version of The Original Series to air. It premiered in syndication on the weekend of 5 April 2008 and aside from the standard CGI replacement footage of the Enterprise, this episode most notably featured several new effects shots of the Romulan D7-class battle cruiser. While the remastered scenes remain true to the original, two significant changes in the visual effects: the Romulan Bird-of-Prey as the third surrounding vessel, and the addition Romulan "bird-of-prey" markings painted on the underside of the ship's hull.
- The next remastered episode to air was "Obsession".

It is easy to get a expression for the nth-derivative of an inverse fuction ; starting from $(f^{-1})'=\frac{1}{f'\circ f^{-1}}$, one gets things like $(f^{-1})^{(n)}=\frac{\sum a_k\prod (f^{(n_j)}\circ f^{-1})^j}{(f'\circ f^{-1})^{2n-1}}$, with reasonably easy constraints on the $n_j$. But what are the values of the $a_k$? I believe I read somewhere this was an application of umbral calculus, but I dont see how, and inverting Faa di Bruno's formula on the identity $f\circ f^{-1}=id$ dont seem to get anywhere.
Go to the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (OEIS) on the Net and search under Lagrange inversion and also series reversion and you will find many examples. – Tom Copeland Jun 1 '12 at 7:48
Riordan's Combinatorial identities has a chapter on partition polynomials that may be helpful. It specifically covers the question you are asking, but is in umbral calculus.
See Warren P. Johnson, Combinatorics of Higher Derivatives of Inverses, American Mathematical Monthly, Vol. 109, No. 3 (Mar., 2002), pp. 273-277, http://www.jstor.org/stable/2695356
You should be able to get a formula, first by reducing to the case where f(0)=0 and the evaluation of the derivatives (for both f and its inverse) is at 0. Then, work formally by replacing f by its Taylor-MacLaurin series at 0. The problem then becomes that of the reversion of power series. It has been done in many places and typically involves summing over trees.
This is sometime called the Lagrange inversion formula.
To precise my question, I was asking for the exact values of the $a_k$. Thanks to Tom Copeland, I could find the sequence A176740 of OEIS, giving a complete answer (with useful links) to this problem.
I. G. Macdonald gives a very explicit formula for the coefficients in Example 24, p35 of the 2nd Edition of Symmetric Functions and Hall Polynomials. The example begins `Another involution on the ring $\Lambda$ may be defined as follows...'

It is true that ablaut is an observation rather than a rule. Rules necessarily follow observation, of course, but the point of knowing about ablaut is that it highlights a very common vowel variation in Greek. Once you know about ablaut, you'll have a much better chance of guessing the true stem or meaning of a word you may not have seen before.

I just took a look through Morwood's Oxford Grammar of Classical Greek's list of principal parts of irregular verbs. With no great effort (and under the influence of 3 pints of Guiness), I found 6 verbs on the first few pages for which ablaut changes explained the vowel of the perfect stem.

Ablaut may not be universally applied to verbs, but those verbs to which it applies are quite common, just as the most fundamental and common English verbs have ablaut (come, came; see, saw; write, wrote; fly, flew; sing, sang).

One need not know about ablaut to learn Greek. But knowing about it can make learning Greek easier.The grammatical concept, ablaut, is too vagarious; it seems more of an occaisonal observation than a rule. It may as well have not been given a name - in my opinion.

Dierks Bentley Tries to Explain New Son's 'Procedure' to His Daughters
Boots in the Sand headliner Dierks Bentley is not one to overlook a teachable moment. Just hours after wife Cassidy gave birth to their son Knox, the singer was having lunch with his daughters (ages five and 2), trying to explain the differences between boys and girls and why some boys undergo a circumcision soon after birth.
With a semi-graphic tweet and a photo, Bentley tells his story so much better than we can:
could have done without seeing my son's "stick out" (as my girls call it) covered in blood. ouch! makes you question the circumcision thing.
— Dierks Bentley (@DierksBentley) October 10, 2013
"I try not to post too many pics of my kids, but this is too good: me trying to explain what circumcision is and why," the singer wrote later, including the above photo of his girls.
Little Evie seems to be taking the news as one would expect a 5-year-old to. Jordan — who turns three on Christmas — looks almost as if she's saying, "Thanks for ruining my appetite, Dad!"
Baby Knox Bentley was born Wednesday night (Oct. 9). Previously, Tropical Nights: Boots in the Sand headliner Bentley talked about how he was nervous to have a son who might that turn out like he did. It sounds like the country singer was a bit of a hell-raiser as a kid … Who knew?

003 Wows the UK Press
Since the launch of the Digidesign 003 Family the reviews have been coming in thick and fast and have earned the range major approval across the board, plus a few awards along the way. With reviews appearing from as far as Tokyo and Finland, here is a round up of what the UK music technology and professional audio trade press have to say about Digidesign's flagship Pro Tools LE product:
"…But the 003's main strengths over its predecessor are in the increased sense of integration. My favourite new feature is the MIDI integration with other software programs, so that a whole bunch of buttons and the silders can be used to control MIDI parameters. For the other user, however, the improved mic pre amps or the additional outputs will be the most welcome updates.
One way or another this redesigned box keeps the 00 where it needs to be – as a serious contrender for anyone who's looking to get serious and take control of a powerful, fully fledged Pro Tools LE system."
Future Music, June 2007 - Reviewer: Jono Buchanan http://www.futuremusic.co.uk
"… If you are familiar with the 002 you'll feel instantly at home, because 003's appearance and size are very similar. It's still beautiful but it's what's inside that counts, and the new arrival has many new tricks up its sleeve…
"…With the addition of Automation Modes as well as Inserts and Send assignment, there's little need to resort to the mouse, which makes this a more wholesome experience. Finally, the control surface is coming of age for the project studios."
Computer Music, August 2007 - Reviewer: Tim Oliver - http://www.computermusic.co.uk
"…To our minds, arguably the most significant new feature is the inclusion of comprehensive automation. By selecting an automation mode and the appropriate Channel Select buttons, you can quickly set any number of faders into Touch, Write, Latch and Read operation. Of course, automation was possible on the 002, but the extent of the implementation on the 003 means that you'll spend far less time using the mouse and far more time actually mixing."
Music Tech Magazine, June 2007 - Reviewer: Mark Cousins - http://www.musictechmag.co.uk
"…Digidesign have taken the extra features introduced with the Mbox 2 Pro and rolled them into the 003R and 003. They have also added a number of extra controls features to the 003: the jog/shuttle wheel is particularly welcome, but the improved mic preamps are the unsung hero in the remodel.
"…Digidesign have cleverly chosen to upgrade features that will benefit most users in both the professional and home studios arenas, such as the world clock I/O and extra monitor and headphone outputs. All of the new features make it easier to operate Pro Tools using the control surface rather than a mouse and keyboard, and will suit users who prefer a more tactile connection to their equipment."
Sound on Sound, May 2007 - Reviewer: Mike Thornton - http://www.soundonsound.com
So what do the rest of the world think about it?
"…teetering over 80 plug-ins and applications, this is everything you need to go from recording scratch tracks to promoting your finished project on the web."
"Sonically, the 003 is the best LE interface that Digidesign has come up with yet."
Remix, August 2007 - Reviewer: Jason Scott Alexander
"The build quality of the 003 impressed me right out of the box."
"The improved LCD display is light years better …"
"…a nice step up for M-Box users…"
Recording, August 2007 - Reviewer: Justin Peacock
"…the 003 is actually quite a step up in terms of usability, and as would be expected, audio quality has been improved too."
"Furthermore, I/O has been greatly improved."
Tape Op, May/June 2007 - Reviewer: Andy Hong
"…if you are just starting out in Pro Tools or are upgrading from a legacy LE system, the 003 is worth investigating."
Electronic Musician, August 2007 - Reviewer: Nick Peck

Yamaha Employees Celebrate 10th Anniversary of the Company's Outdoor Access Initiative
Thank you to Yamaha for ten years of dedication to its Outdoor Access Initiative, which provides trail restoration and maintenance through volunteer support.
Begin Press Release:
Yamaha Employees Celebrate 10 Years of Off-Road Volunteer Support
Yamaha Restores Public Lands and OHV Areas in San Bernardino National Forest
CYPRESS, Calif. ? April 9, 2018 ? Yamaha Motor Corp., USA, employees celebrated the company?s Outdoor Access Initiative?s (OAI) 10-year anniversary this past weekend, through the completion of their 10th volunteer project in the San Bernardino National Forest in support of OHV access opportunities. Working with members of the Southern California Mountains Foundation (SCMF) and U.S. Forest Service (USFS), the effort continued a 10-year tradition of Yamaha Outdoor Access Initiative volunteer projects in the nation?s most frequently visited forest.
For a decade, the Yamaha OAI has led the motorized recreation industry in creating and defending access to land for outdoor recreation through efforts promoting safe, responsible use of OHVs, educate the public on proper recreational land use and wildlife conservation practices, and protect appropriate and sustainable access to public lands. In celebration of this milestone, more than 80 volunteers, including Yamaha employees, their friends and family members gathered at the Cactus Flats OHV Staging Area, near Big Bear Lake, California, to contribute more than 250 hours of volunteer service through projects including staging area and trail restoration and maintenance.
?For 10 years, Yamaha employees, the Southern California Mountains Foundation, and U.S. Forest Service volunteers have come together to realize OAI?s mission,? said Steve Nessl, Yamaha?s ATV/SxS group marketing manager. ?Yamaha is dedicated to supporting sustainable access to public lands like the San Bernardino National Forest ? and each year our employees, families and friends invest their personal time in these projects, because outdoor recreation is a major part of our lives.?
?Yamaha Motor Corporation has been a valuable partner for more than a decade and has helped us accomplish numerous restoration projects on the San Bernardino National Forest,? said Stacy Gorin, executive officer of the Southern California Mountains Foundation. ?This 10-year anniversary is a significant milestone for Yamaha, but also for our work together as we continue to act on our mutual, long term commitment to OHV land stewardship, and our mission of educating people to recreate responsibly.?

The new Hurricane Happenings program presented by local State Farm Insurance agent Marty McDonald is as simple as 1, 2, 3.
- Attend events.
- Accumulate points by scanning a QR code* with your smartphone.
- Get Milestone Prizes!
GSW Athletics has teamed up with several departments and organizations on campus, including CAB (Campus Activity Board), Residence Life, Student Affairs, Intramurals and the Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drugs task force, to create a student, faculty, staff and fan incentive program that rewards those who support selected campus events or activities.
Earn a BUNCH of points this week during GSW Fall Fest
Look for Hurricane Happenings' QR code scan sheet(s) at the following events:
Tuesday - hot dog eating contest at Centennial Plaza
Wednesday - Couch Potato Challenge at Hurricane soccer, talent showcase on Sanford Lawn, pajama party and bonfire after the talent showcase
Thursday - alcohol simulator and car bash in the MSC and Almost Midnight Madness in the Storm Dome
Friday - Halloween movie night in the ACE 212
Saturday - GSW soccer matches, Shamrock 5k in the SSC parking lot and the Halloween costume party at the Lake House
How does the program work?
Those who come to Hurricane Happenings events need to be on the lookout for a posted QR code (most likely at the main entrance). Just scan the code with your phone, use your log in information to your facebook account and start accumulating points that work toward receiving prizes! (Note: Upon scanning your first code in the program you will be prompted to install a LOYALTIVA app on your phone after logging into facebook. Click "INSTALL" and you're good to go.)
Here's a look at some of the Milestone Prizes available:
- $20 gift certificate to the GSW Bookstore
- $50 GSW book voucher
- $50 GSW meal plan voucher
- Team autographed merchandise
- GSW Adidas apparel
- A Hurricane Birthday Party
- Throw out a first pitch at a GSW baseball or softball game
- Participate in a ceremonial "opening tip" at a GSW basketball game
- Sit on the bench at a GSW basketball game
- Meet the team, watch from courtside seats and enjoy 2Duke's Bar-B-Que, popcorn and soft drinks for up to six (6) people at a GSW basketball game
Don't have the QR scanner app?
- No problem! You can easily download a free scanner application to your phone! Try QR Code City's "Scan" for the iPhone. It reads code and loads sites without haste, and lacks annoying commercial messages. "Scan" is also available for Android. (Note: There are several free apps available)
Don't have a smartphone?
- An email sign-up option will be available at most events or - if you're attending with a friend - borrow one (login is unique for each user and points are tallied as such)
* A QR Code (abbreviated from Quick Response Code) is the trademark for a type of matrix barcode (or two-dimensional code). Users with a camera phone equipped with the correct reader application (free to download, see above) can scan the image of the QR Code to display text, contact information, connect to a wireless network, or open a web page in the phone's browser. A unique code will be used for each Hurricane Happenings event or point-earning posting.
Still not sure? Contact the GSW athletics marketing office at 931.2217 for more information.

New York, US (PANA) - UN Under Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations, Herve Ladsous, on Wednesday said initial steps by the Sudanese government and one of the rebel movements in Darfur to implement the peace document signed in Qatar last year have been promising, and urged the international community to support their efforts.
The Sudanese government and the rebel Liberation and Justice Movement (LJM) signed the Doha Document for Peace in Darfur (DDPD) in July last year in the Qatari capital, Doha.
The document forms the basis for a permanent ceasefire and a comprehensive peace agreement to end the fighting that began more than eight years ago.
Ladsous, who spoke at the UN Security Council at a briefing, said that the government and armed groups that did not sign the Doha Document needed to return to the negotiating table.
He stated: "The parties should be supported in this regard by the Council and by the international community more broadly, particularly with the implementation of the provisions that bring about tangible improvements to the lives of the people of Darfur."
H said in addition, there remained a need to bring the government and non-signatory movements to the negotiating table.
"Their long-standing grievances can only be effectively dealt with through peace talks that result in agreement to cease hostilities and work together towards peace," the UN official noted.
Ladsous also said that the UN would continue to work with the African Union (AU) to find a lasting settlement solution to the Darfur crisis.
He also told the Council that increased military activity in Darfur and clashes between government forces and rebel fighters in recent weeks had led to increased movement restrictions for the joint UN-African Union peacekeeping mission in Darfur (UNAMID).
"This development is impeding UNAMID's ability to implement its mandate," he said.
Ladsous further pointed out that while a number of areas in Darfur remain relatively free of military hostilities, clashes between government troops and rebel forces in areas along the North Darfur-North Kordofan state border and South Darfur-South Kordofan border, as well as the in the West Jabel Marra area took place during the second half of last month.
On the humanitarian situation in Darfur, he noted that there has been a trend of internally displaced persons and refugees voluntarily returning to their home areas at a rate of approximately 1,500 people per month, describing it as "encouraging".
"The total number of verified returns between the beginning of January last year and the end of October was 85,172 people, compared to the 70,000 people who were newly displaced," he said.
"While most parts of Darfur were accessible to humanitarian organizations, with UNAMID security escort needed outside the main town centres, access to West Jebel Marra was repeatedly denied and intermittently restricted to the greater Jebel Marra, Shangil Tobaya and Um Barru areas, as well as to Zam Zam camp," the UN official said.

Anti-abortion protesters threw red paint and eggs at the Women on Waves (WOW) boat and its supporters yesterday. The small group of male protesters, members of The League of Polish Families political party, called the ship's crew and volunteers "murderers" while waving Polish flags as the ship pulled into the port at Wladyslawowo, reports the Associated Press. The Feminist Majority Foundation's Director of Law Enforcement Operations, Margie Moore, who has been working with staff and community volunteers in Poland and the Netherlands for several weeks, said, "It was quite scary at times. There was pushing and shoving and throwing of eggs... [It is a] very hostile atmosphere." Moore also reports that the Catholic Church has been organizing demonstrations against WOW. Despite the protests, Women on Waves received quite a bit of support as it was welcomed with applause by several Polish women's organizations and other supporters of WOW.
Women on Waves is a non-profit organization based in the Netherlands whose mission is to prevent unwanted pregnancy and unsafe abortions throughout the world. In Poland, access to abortion is extremely restricted. WOW provides abortion and reproductive health services to women on a specially equipped ship. WOW's founder, Dr. Rebecca Gomperts, has constructed a floating clinic on a ship that sails to countries where abortion is illegal and, by sailing out to international waters, she is able to provide essential reproductive services to women, including non-surgical abortions, contraception, and counseling.
Under the current law in Poland, women are permitted to obtain abortions only when the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest, when the pregnancy constitutes a threat to the life of the woman, or when there is "heavy, irreversible" damage to the fetus.

Stephen LendmanMore About: Philosophy: Fascism
Bahrain's War on Freedom
by Stephen Lendman
In February 2011, major protests erupted. Bahrainis challenged despotic rule nonviolently. Daily they protest. Police state harshness confronts them.
At issue is King Sheikh Hamad bin Isa Al-Khalifa's regime. Bahrainis want popularly elected leadership replacing him.
He ranks with the world's worst despots. He's a US favorite. He's welcomed in Washington and other Western capitals. Obama and other world leaders turn a blind eye to his crimes.
Compared to him, Saudi leaders, and other Gulf state tyrants, Assad looks saintly. Peaceful Bahrainis brave tear gas, beatings, rubber bullets, live fire, arrests, torture, kangaroo court justice, imprisonment, disappearances and death.
Life and limb are risked to live free. A huge price is paid for trying. Popular courage and resilience show no signs of waning. Stakes are too high to quit.
State-sponsored terror challenges them. It continues unabated.
On August 3, the Bahrain Center for Human Rights (BCHR) headlined "Self-determination peaceful protests violently suppressed, numerous arrests, reports of beatings and ill treatment," saying:
August 2 was like most other days. Bahrainis protested peacefully. They want democratic freedom and social justice. Self-determination demands unite them. Violence confronts all demonstrations.
Police used tear gas, stun grenades, and birdshot. Numerous injuries resulted. People were shot in the head. Hospitals are occupied and militarized. Protesters can't get proper treatment. Requesting it risks arrest, torture and imprisonment. People have to manage as best they can.
Excessive tear gas amounts are used. More on that below. It continues after protests are dispersed. Houses and neighborhood are targeted. Helicopters fire canisters indiscriminately.
Arrests are made regularly. On August 2, about 35 more were made. People were targeted on streets. Others were seized at home. Warrants didn't authorize them. Police states don't use them. They don't explain why anyone can be brutalized for any reason or none at all.
State terror defines Al-Khalifa rule. Bahrainis want it ended. They have every right. They deserve better. Western leaders irnore their ordeal. They're too busy killing Syrians, planning war, and more to follow.
Family members of those arrested August 2 said they were taken to "the stable." It's "an unofficial torture center." Those arrested showed signs of abuse. They've been moved to Fort Prison.
Security forces attacked family members protesting at police stations for their loved ones release. There were "continuous reports of protesters being arrested, beaten, (then) released."
AlWefaq political society Women's Affairs head Ahlam Alkhuzaei was arrested at Bahrain airport. She was heading for a conference in Tunisia. She was held overnight and released.
Photojournalist Mazin Mahdi was assaulted. BCHR "strongly condemn(ed) the government's fierce crackdown on whoever exercises freedom of expression and peaceful assembly and the attack on journalists and activists for exposing the crimes committed in Bahrain by the authorities."
Release of those arrested was demanded. Violence against peaceful protesters was denounced.
On August 5, Bahrain's Higher Appeal Court was scheduled rule on Nabeel Rajab's lawless three-month prison sentence. A decision was postponed until August 12 or later.
Rajab serves as BCHR president and Gulf Center for Human Rights (GCHR) director.
He was imprisoned for championing human rights. Bahrainis have none. Washington shows no concern. Police state violence is ignored.
Previous appeals on Rajab's behalf failed. He's currently at Jaw Central Prison. He's held under appalling conditions. He's denied medical treatment he needs. On July 16, a hearing occurred relating to another case.
Rajab is wrongfully accused of "involvement in illegal practices and inciting gatherings and calling for unauthorized marches through social networking sites."
Other pending charges include "participating in illegal gatherings and calling for a march without prior notification." Both accusations were scheduled to be addressed on September 26.
However, his trial was moved up to July 25. It was then postponed until August 5. Proceedings are rigged against all defendants. Guilt by accusation is policy.
BCHR co-founder Abdulhadi Alkhawaja faced brutal persecution. In prison, he hunger struck for 110 days. He's willing to die for justice. His daughter Zainab was arrested and mistreated numerous times. She's become well-known for her social justice activities.
On August 2, she was targeted again. She was arrested for peacefully protesting. She participated with one leg in a caste. She was injured during a previous protest. Security forces struck her with tear gas canisters at close range.
On August 2, she was verbally assaulted. She demanded to know the officer's name. She wanted to file a complaint. In response, she was handcuffed, dragged on the ground, down stairs, then placed in a police vehicle. She's now detained. She's targeted regularly for courageous activism.
Bahrain is more hellhole than legitimate state. Al-Khalifa rulers rank with the world's worst. They're tyrannical with no legitimacy. Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) provided more evidence.
On August 1, they issued a report documenting Bahrain's use of potentially lethal tear gas. It's used indiscriminately against peaceful protesters and others at home.
It causes maiming, blinding, and death. According to PHR Deputy Director Richard Sollom:
"So-called tear gas, often considered a crowd-control method with no lasting harmful effects, can cause permanent injuries, miscarriages, and even fatalities as used by Bahrain's security forces."
"Those tactics include firing tear gas canisters directly at civilians or into their cars, houses, or other closed spaces where toxic effects are greatly exacerbated."
In three Bahrain visits since early 2011, Sollom said he documented "a government fixated on rhetoric rather than results."
He and Dr. Holly Atkinson, former PHR president, interviewed over 100 Bahrainis. They included victims, eyewitnesses, civil society leaders, and government officials.
Their report is titled "Weaponizing Tear Gas: Bahrain's Unprecedented Use of Toxic Chemical Agents Against Civilians."
Findings were based on physical examinations. For example:
A tear gas canister fired at close range struck a teenage boy in his left eye. It was deliberate. It fractured his eye socket, ruptured his eyeball, and left him blind in one eye.
Another tear gas canister was fired at a 27-year old bystander's head. He suffered a fractured skull and intracranial bleeding.
After exposure to toxic tear gas, a physiotherapist began wheezing, felt short of breath, and had trouble speaking for two weeks.
Several women suffering miscarriages told doctors they've risen considerably in neighborhoods affected by frequent tear gas use.
An asthma sufferer died from acute respiratory failure. He was exposed to tear gas several times.
PHR documented harmful tear gas effects 25 years ago. South Korea used it against civilian protesters. Toxic pulmonary damage and death followed. Many other long-term health consequences also occurred.
Bahrain uses toxic chemicals against nonviolent protesters. Some die. Others suffer health problems. Some become chronic.
Other countries use similar tactics. They include Israel, Turkey, Egypt, Greece, Honduras, the new Libya, and Uganda.
Howard Hu directs the University of Toronto's Dalla Lana School of Health. He's medically expert on toxic chemicals. He's a former PHR board member. He said:
PHR's "timely and incisive investigative report provides evidence that government forces, this time in Bahrain, have once again used the shield of a relatively innocuously named weapon to maim, sicken, and in some cases kill innocent civilians."
"The misuse of such weapons must be fully investigated and curbed if such oppressive practices and unnecessary suffering and deaths are to be avoided in the future."
PHR earlier investigated Bahrain's militarized healthcare system. It protested against repressive tactics. Hospitals are occupied. Medical professionals are terrorized. They're arrested, tortured and imprisoned for treating anyone injured during street demonstrations.
PHR also wants Bahraini authorities to disclose which toxic agents security forces use.
It hopes to establish a new international group of health professionals, public health experts, lawyers, and law enforcement officials.
It wants guiding principles drafted on use of toxic chemicals. It wants to determine if any considered nonlethal should be reclassified under the Chemical Weapons Convention.
Chemicals harmful to health or lethal are weapons. Prohibiting their public use is essential. Bahrain and other repressive governments use them freely. According to Sollom:
"It is increasingly evident that tear gas has effects far more severe than commonly understood."
"The tears it produces are not limited to those caused by temporary stinging of the eyes, but flow also from people who receive long-lasting injuries and trauma from its indiscriminate use, and from friends and relatives of tear gas victims left blind, wounded, or dead."
It's impermissible to use these agents against civilians. They terrorize, harm and kill.
Al-Khalifa authorities use them for maximum advantage. Bahrainis suffer and die. Obama and other Western leaders ignore their crimes. They continue unaccountably.

The fifth in the Legacy of Kain series, Legacy of Kain: Defiance follows the epic drama of three major races -- vampire, human and Hylden -- all in a passionate fight for control the world, each one pursuing their idea of the "true" prophecy.
For the first time in the series, both Kain and Raziel are playable, offering more action-oriented gameplay with Kain, and more puzzle solving elements with Raziel. Defiance's deep new combat system utilizes trigger aiming, and a slew of new Telekenesis moves, adding the ability to move enemies around in the air, throwing them off ledges, against spikes, into fires and more.
Walkthrough, enemy tactics, secrets and more.
The Legacy of Kain series has always been about talking heads, and Defiance is no different. It just also happens to have a "Skip Cinematic" feature. Oh, and a nicely revamped combat system. Yes, believe it or not, you'll have fun fighting in Defiance, and feel lucky, because it happens quite often. But if you've been following the series, you'll also know that it's quite heavily reliant on aimless wandering and boring box puzzles. Sadly, this much hasn't changed. Developer Crystal Dynamics got half of it right, but does a great half make a good whole? Don't ask me, I'm not a mathematician -- a numerologist, maybe, but not a mathematician. Read More »
Eidos' Blood Omen and Soul Reaver games are all about sucking. Whether it's Kain sucking blood or Raziel sucking souls, there's definitely a whole lot of sucking going on. Though it started as something fresh and new, the series has gone on and branched into increasingly hackneyed sequels. Some gamers would say that the latest games sucked as much as either of the lead characters did. Crystal Dynamics aims to change all this by bringing Kain and Raziel back for an action-adventure game that continues the compelling plotlines while hosting a plethora of improvements. Read More »
Also known as: Soul Reaver 3
Release Region: United States
Release Date: November 18, 2003
Publisher: Eidos Interactive
Also available on: PlayStation 2, PC

Time Keeps On Slippin'
The life of a janitor cat ain't easy. You spend all day and all night busting your paws to keep everything clean and what thanks do you get? Nothing, that's what. Hell, the company even makes you pay for your own vacuum cleaner. What a bum deal. It's hardly worth that lousy amount of catnip they're paying you, anyway.
So when the evil Tom-Tom gang starts stealing a bunch of time crystals and unleashing crazy monsters, who has to clean up the whole mess? You, that's who. Even after all those years of loyal, underpaid service, the top cat upstairs still expects you to put in some overtime and stop the bad guys. There had better be a bonus in the next paycheck or someone's going to get a hairball in their morning coffee.
And so it goes in Blinx: Time Sweeper, Microsoft's anticipated platformer. As a vacuum-toting janitor cat, you'll use garbage and the power of time to fight hordes of strange monsters and foil the malevolent plans of the Tom-tom gang. But while it's got some great ideas going for it, Blinx ends up losing a few of its nine lives with some of the most frustrating gameplay we've seen this side of daylight savings time.
The Blinx basics are as simple as any platformer. Just suck up the trash that's conveniently strewn about and spit it back out at the enemy before they can get their grubby little spikes… err… teeth… um, trash on you. You bounce around from platform to platform through each of Blinx's strange and colorful worlds.
Adding some depth is the ability to exchange items you sucked up during a level for cash, which can then be spent on upgrading Blinx. You can buy a new vacuum or some spiffy enhancements like a garbage capacity pack or retry holder to give you more lives. It's a nice addition.
But what really separates Blinx from the platform crowd is the "4th dimension" of time. Rewind to the past, run forward into the future and even stop time itself. Those are just some of the powers that Blinx has at his disposal.
To obtain these powers, all Blinx needs to do is fill up the four slots on the time sweeper with the right combination of time crystals. For example, three stars will result in a "slow motion" power, while four diamonds will yield a pair of "record" powers. Getting a bad combination will simply result in the loss of those power crystals.
Using these powers is without a doubt a revolutionary idea that allows players to use their imagination to overcome obstacles and find hidden areas. Most of the time, the level design makes it really obvious what power needs to be used, but every once in a while you'll come across a situation that's a little more subtle, like pausing a scene with falling logs, jumping on a log and hitting rewind to get you up to wherever they came from.
The use of time is definitely a cool idea and one that currently can only really be done on the Xbox thanks to the hard drive. But unfortunately, there are a few frustrating moments to go along with it.
Every now and then, you'll reach a place requiring a certain time power up that you don't have. The bad news is that you're basically screwed. Unless you've left those pickups back in a place that is still accessible, you'll be forced to restart the entire level. And even then, you might need to go back to an even earlier level to get that power up.
Equally frustrating is the occasional missing monster problem. In order to complete a level, the game requires you to kill every monster and reach the goal within ten minutes' time. On one particular level, a rolling monster attempted to attack me, but instead rolled harmlessly past me and off a cliff. This monster did not re-spawn in its original spot like vanishing monsters usually do and I had to restart the level. Needless to say, I felt like hissing and spitting.
And as if this cat hasn't already fallen from the tree, there are camera and invisible barrier problems as well. Even though you can control it manually using the right thumbstick, the camera has a nasty habit of trying to compensate for movement on its own, leaving you with a weird angle during critical platform jumps. Also, you'll occasionally hit invisible barriers when trying to shoot at enemies that happen to be near garbage, along a wall, or through a door. Rowr.
Blinx claws its way back with some good graphics. Each level is colorful with smooth lines and nice little effects like water and sand particles. The level of detail is very tight, right down to Blinx's eyes, which do in fact blink.
But in the end, I can't help but be disappointed that the great concept behind Blinx: Time Sweeper didn't pan out so smoothly. Instead of an outstanding title, all we're left with is an average game highlighted by one outstanding feature. It seems as if the developers were so focused on their great idea that they forgot to iron out the little kinks that are common to the platform genre. Oh well, maybe this cat will have better luck in the next life.

Hey ya! I'm Aly. I'm a native California girl and I'm currently working as a dancer. It's a lot of fun. Plus, it keeps me in shape! I'm also a Lightspeed cheerleader. One of the things about that is how limber and strong it makes me. It takes a lot of stamina and flexibility to jump up and down and do the splits all day but boy is it worth it! And I admit that I love knowing that the guys are looking at my bottom when my skirt's flying up in the air.
I've been doing this for awhile now, so I've got an extensive colleciton of pics and videos in my site. I also love chatting with all my fans, whether it's on the message board or email. In my journal, I keep everyone up to date with what's going on with me and the guys in my life. :)
