Legendary hip-hop pioneer, MC Lyte, spoke out against the status of the hip-hop industry during her performance at the Essence Music Festival in New Orleans over the weekend. During her set, the Associated Press reports Lyte announced her discontent with the politics involving hip-hop music. "It's more so a business and we're being consumed by that," Lyte said. The Brooklyn native also asked fans to call for change within the hip-hop community concerning violent and misogynist lyrics. "We control hip-hop. We make the decisions," she said. "Anything that degrades woman, that's not okay with me."
West Coast underground veterans, Strong Arm Steady, will release their debut album, Deep Hearted, on August 28 on Nature Sounds Records. The LP will feature guest appearances by group founder and former member, Xzibit, Chamillionaire, Juvenile, Black Thought, Talib Kweli, Dilated Peoples and Ras Kass.
The Bum Squad DJ's will host the Second Annual Bum Squad DJ's Family Reunion at the Los Angeles Marriott from July 26 to 28.

Abby Sunderland, the teen sailor rescued from an aborted solo yacht trip around the world, has been labeled a "Balloon Boy" clone after it emerged her father was negotiating a reality TV show ("Adventures in Sunderland") as his daughter set off on her doomed journey. Laurence Sunderland has since announced he has cut ties with the production company behind the show, but fans of the 16-year-old sailor are calling for talks to resume. Does Abby Sunderland deserve reality TV fame? (Listen to Sunderland assure she'll try her voyage again)
Sunderland is an ideal role model for young girls: Abby Sunderland is a "brave, talented young sailor" with the passion to follow her dreams, says Jessica Wakeman at The Frisky. She could be a "great role model" for teen girls who only see the "vapid, mind-melting crap" on shows like The Hills and Real Housewives. The Sunderlands aren't "nut jobs" like Balloon Boy's family. "They have passion" that may be worthy of TV fame.
"Teen sailor Abby Sunderland's Dad ditched his reality show dreams"
A reality show would only reward this disgraceful behavior: Sunderland's father says he wanted "an inspirational program celebrating a family of daredevils," says Leonard Pitts Jr. in The Miami Herald. But no reality TV show should celebrate the "meaningless" risks the Sunderlands allowed their daughter to take, or reward such "calculating" parents willing to "exploit their own children" for reality TV's sake.
"Taking the ultimate risk — all in the name of TV fame"
Turn off the cameras and let Abby Sunderland's achivements speak for themselves: By bringing reality TV into this drama, says Matt Mendelsohn at AOL News, Abby Sunderland's "fame-seeking parents" have only cheapened her impressive accomplishments. The parents seem to see "dollar signs dancing on the waves" — but if every "feat of daring" is "documented by a team of television producers," it eclipses the hard work that is put into it behind the scenes.

St. Charles Community College president to retire
Send this to a friend
John McGuire, who's only the second president to serve St. Charles Community College, plans to retire, with a tentative departure date of September 2011.
McGuire, 66, became president of the community college in November 1996. During McGuire's tenure St. Charles Community College's enrollment has more than doubled, to 8,290 as of this fall, which is about 4.8 percent higher than last fall. Also on McGuire's watch, additional land was acquired for the campus, and two more phases of construction added five buildings and doubled the size of the campus.
McGuire currently is president of the St. Charles County Economic Development Council board, and is on the board of the St. Louis Regional Chamber and Growth Association and Great Rivers Greenway.
The college's board accepted McGuire's intent to retire at its meeting Monday and is discussing approaches to searching for his successor, a spokeswoman said. The board meets again in November.
St. Charles Community College is a public, two-year community college with associate degrees and certificate programs in the arts, business, sciences and career-technical fields. It also provides work force training and community-based personal and professional development programs.

Every college hoops fan needs their own 'hate chart'
Jul 28, 2011, 8:30 AM EDT
A little hate is a good thing. It fuels rivalries, league competition and endless fodder for fans.
A lot of hate? Hey, sometimes that ain't bad either.
The good people at Kentucky Sports Radio know this. It's not why the site thrives, but it sure doesn't hurt.
I mean, check out this delightful rundown of Kentucky's hated teams since 1992 (also known as the year Christian Laettner ascended to No. 1 on the hate list).
This is my way of saying I need my own "hate chart."

Two international human rights groups have denounced a leading Egyptian politician who denied the Holocaust and said the 9/11 terrorist attacks were manufactured in the U.S. during an interview with The Washington Times.
"We were stunned and outraged to learn of [Ahmed] Ezz El-Arab's ignorant and despicable comments made during his recent visit to Budapest," said Ambassador Istvan Gyarmati, founder of the International Center for Democratic Transition (ICDT), in a statement on behalf of his organization and the Tom Lantos Institute.
The rights groups last month organized the Conference on Democracy and Human Rights in Budapest, where Mr. Ezz Al-Arab, a vice chairman of Egypt's secular Wafd Party, had been a participant. He made his inflammatory remarks to The Times on the sidelines of the gathering.
"Such shameful statements not only discredit Mr. El-Arab, they profoundly undermine the credibility of the Wafd party which he claims to represent," Mr. Gyarmati said in a statement. "Both the ICDT and the TLI condemn his comments in the most unequivocal terms and call upon the legitimate leaders of the 'Arab Spring' to do so as well."
In the interview, Mr. Ezz El-Arab also called Anne Frank's memoir a "fake," called President Obama "the black rabbit taken out of the American hat when it was needed," and claimed that U.S. soldiers of "double Israeli nationality" had stolen Jewish antiquities from Iraq and had them reburied under Jerusalem's Temple Mount to fool archaeologists.

Cribs for Kids nonprofit to relocate to bigger space in Hazelwood
A nonprofit organization founded in Pittsburgh to prevent infant deaths by providing cribs will relocate its national headquarters from the North Shore to Hazelwood.
Cribs for Kids has purchased a two-story building at 5450 Second Ave. and will move there in about two months.
"We needed more space, and this empty warehouse was the right solution to our situation," said Judith Bannon, executive director.
The organization, formed in 1998, assembles, packages and ships cribs to about 500 partners throughout the country, she said.
Graco Children's Products Inc. of Atlanta manufactures the cribs and ships them to Pittsburgh for distribution.
The partners are charged a fee, but they distribute the cribs for free to low-income families.
Cribs for Kids paid $1.15 million to Big Sky LLC for the building that crews are renovating to provide office space and room for volunteers to assemble the cribs. The organization will occupy the first floor and lease out the second floor, Bannon said.
She said 10 full-time employees will work at the location, moving from leased quarters at 810 River Ave.
Before starting Cribs for Kids, Bannon was executive director of Sudden Infant Death Services of Pennsylvania, a statewide partnership of advocates who promote infant survival and offer families grief support. She learned that many infant deaths happen because poor families cannot afford cribs and infants sleep on couches, chairs or in adult beds.

Flame On!
It's Been a Banner Year for Self-Immolation in Tibet
Dec 21 2011
Cell phone photos of one of the 11 (and counting) Tibetans who have incinerated themselves in 2011.
With the Arab Spring and the Occupy movement getting all the retweets and Facebook "likes" of late, it's easy to forget that Tibet was once the cause du jour, attracting the attention of celebrities like Richard Gere and the Beastie Boys. And while the mainstream press now largely ignores the plight of the Dalai Lama and his fellow countrymen, the region remains firmly under China's thumb. But things have been steadily—and quite literally—heating up since Free Tibet bumper stickers went out of style.
Tibetans have become so desperate for autonomy that they've taken to lighting themselves on fire. So far this year, 11 Tibetans have self-immolated, all of them Buddhist nuns, monks, or ex-monks. We contacted Stephanie Brigden, director of the Free Tibet campaign, to find out more about burning yourself alive in the name of protest.
VICE: Is there a particular reason so many Tibetans have self-immolated this year?
Stephanie Brigden: I think what is important to remember is that self-immolations are practically unprecedented in Tibet. There was one in 2009, but prior to that there has never been a history of self-immolations. The Tibet movement is probably the most famous nonviolent protest movement in the world, and we've now come to a point where the situation has become so desperate that people would choose to take their own lives. I think that's quite interesting when you compare that with the situation in the Middle East, where you had a young man who self-immolated in Tunisia. That triggered a whole set of events across the Middle East, and the international community responded because it's an oil-rich region. Tibet, on the surface, looks like it doesn't have much to offer the West, and people are ignoring it.
How did this self-immolation movement—if we can call it that—start?
The first self-immolation was a 20-year-old guy called Phuntsog. He self-immolated on the third anniversary of a protest in his town in Sichuan province, during which Chinese security forces opened fire and killed civilians. Some of the subsequent self-immolations have tried to repeat what the others have done. For instance, during the last self-immolation the nun went to exactly the same place and self-immolated at the same time of day as the other monks from her town. Many of the monks have cried out either "Freedom for Tibet!" or "Tibetan independence!" before self-immolating.
Do you believe that the multitude of protests and uprisings around the world this year have influenced this recent wave of self-immolation?
There were widespread protests in Tibet in 2008, and these were the beginnings of what we think is going to be an escalation of protests that may spread across the region. What has been different between this and the previous protests in Tibet is that Tibetans are really conscious of getting striking images to the outside world. I also think you shouldn't underestimate that China is doing everything in its capacity to stop this, from shutting down internet cafés to restricting telephone lines. More frighteningly, they are arresting people and creating a climate of intimidation. But frankly, I think people now feel that if they haven't got the courage to give up their lives, they can at least risk imprisonment and probably torture to ensure that their message reaches the masses.

'Cat condos': a made-in-Toronto solution for feral urban felines
Toronto Street Cats, a group that neuters and cares for wild cats, is distributing multi-unit shelters to feral cat colonies that will offer better warmth.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
The Toronto real estate market just got a little more crowded — and a lot furrier.
Cat condos, which provide shelter from the cold for Toronto's feral cat population, will be distributed throughout the city in the next couple of weeks as part of a pilot project.
Because they'll shelter more cats, the multi-unit plywood boxes, their interiors lined with Durofoam insulation, will hold in more heat than traditional cat shelters meant for one or two cats.
"The condos have two levels and four units, so it's like four apartments on two floors," said Bill Howes, the shelter building coordinator for the organization behind the units, Toronto Street Cats.
"They will accommodate anywhere from four to a maximum of 10 cats, depending on how good friends the cats are," he said.
Howes said four cat condo prototypes will be provided to large, high-needs feral cat colonies. Plans are in the works for a fifth to be installed at a High Park community garden that is having a problem with pests.
"The cats pay for their board by fighting the rodents," Howes said.
Toronto Street Cats, an organization that spays and neuters feral cats and cares for their welfare, has built and distributed nearly 2,000 individual cat shelters since it was founded in 2010. But Howes said feral colony managers requested condos, since they might serve street cats better. Street Cats workers say they'll build more if the prototype condos are successful.
"Condos are a more permanent shelter, and so are less prone to vandalism or damage. They will house a number of cats, which allows the animals to share body heat in a combined space," Howes said.
"We have extremely harsh weather conditions, as we know from this winter, and we want to mitigate the circumstances by providing shelter for these cats," Howes continued. "Otherwise they'll find shelter, but they'll end up under people's porches or other places they're not really wanted, and they're more likely to be hurt."
There are as many as 100,000 feral cats in Toronto, and Toronto Street Cats estimates that three out of every four stray kittens die within six months of being born.
Howes said he hopes that cat condos, which cost about $100-$150 to build, will help change that.
"We do it because we have a responsibility as a society to look after the animals that share our space with us," he said.

Reissue CDs Weekly: Family, Latin Noir, Arve Henriksen, Widowmaker | New music reviews, news & interviews
Reissue CDs Weekly: Family, Latin Noir, Arve Henriksen, Widowmaker
Leicester's freakiest musical sons in a box, moodiness from sun-baked climes, esoteric Norwegian jazz and lost Seventies rockers
Family: Once Upon a Time
Family were always difficult to place. This lavish box set doesn't make getting a handle on them any easier. They were as idiosyncratic as Jethro Tull and, in Roger Chapman, had a vocalist as offbeat as Joe Cocker. Not that they sounded like either, more that their DNA was as sharp-edged as both. The Leicester-born band had roots in soul-pop outfit The Farinas and the psychedelic underground embraced them – they were integral to the 1969 novel Groupie, a lid-lifting, supposedly fictional, exposé of rock's seamier side. Despite these leg-ups and their popularity, they were never embraced wholeheartedly by the mainstream and failed to break America.
A run through the 14 CDs and a read of its finely designed hardback book suggests why. They were too wobbly a proposition. Roots-slanted rockers drawing on folk and blues, they brought jazzy, shuffling drums into the mix too. Their best songs are portmanteau pieces with quiet/loud extremes that posit them as a precursor to The Pixies. Chapman's intense voice takes on more and vibrato the louder and louder it becomes. Melody and linear songwriting were not their forté. Surging and subsiding like a storm was. Occasionally, as with the single "Burlesque", the formula coalesced into something close to the chug of Free. Their line-up was unstable too, changing on an almost album-by-album basis. The bizarre television clip included below is all the evidence needed to show how Family could never be at one with pop.
Once Upon a Time includes all their albums from 1968's Music in a Doll's House to 1973's It's Only a Movie, a 1971 concert (first out on CD in 2003 as Family Live), two discs of unreleased material (a lot are backing tracks – missing one of Family's selling points: i.e. Chapman's warble), three CD replicas of singles, the well-illustrated book and a collection of contemporaneous articles. Their 1967 debut single "Scene Through the Eye of a Lens" is also included, as is a certificate signed by Chapman. The limited edition is billed as "the definitive last word on Family". Given that some of the albums collected here have received the Deluxe Edition treatment over the last year, this smacks of marketing hyperbole, and the appearance of Once Upon a Time will evoke a sigh from anyone who purchased them. It's only available from a specifically-created web outlet for £125.
Various Artists: Latin Noir - Everything Happens on the Beach
The neat concept behind this collection of Latin-world tracks is to eschew the sunny and happy, and instead focus on the dark and moody. Even so, danceable rhythms are never far away as it's compiled by Berlin-based producer/DJ Sonia Brex. It opens with "Tierra Colorada", a mournful air from the Argentinian accordionist Chango Spasiuk. Mood set, it's into lamentation (Seguiores del Son's "Todo eso") and evocations of loss tinged with hope (Ana Cristina Pozo and Omar Perez's "Déjames me Que te Lleve"). "La Negra Tomas", heard here by Grupo El Organo Pinareňo, was later recorded by Buena Vista Social Club as "Mandinga". Setting the downbeat alongside the more energised, Latin Noir does have a stop-start flow. But them's the breaks when melancholy takes over.

Tina Grady Barbaccia | September 15, 2010
Global construction output will grow 70 percent from its current level of $7.5 trillion to $12.7 trillion by 2020, according to a new report by Global Construction Perspectives and Oxford Economics.
Global Construction 2020 is published by Global Construction Perspectives and Oxford Economics and has been sponsored by Cemex, Holcim, LaFarge and OraScom Construction Industries.
Today's global construction market is worth an estimated $7.5 trillion. By 2020, the global construction market will be worth an estimated $12.7 trillion – 70-percent growth.
Emerging construction markets in Asia-Pacific will grow by an estimated 125 percent between 2009 and 2020, according to Global Construction 2020.
China will overtake the United States as the largest construction market globally by 2018 and by 2020 the construction market in China will be worth an estimated $2.4 trillion. India will overtake Japan by 2020 to become the third largest global construction market, according to Global Construction 2020.
The world's top 10 construction markets by size today will change over the next decade as growth in emerging markets such as BRIC countries outpace developed countries.

Easier position limits, sops for hedgers to push sagging volumes
The Forward Markets Commission (FMC) is planning several steps in the New Year to revive the commodity markets, which were hit badly by the National Spot Exchange Limited (NSEL) scandal in 2013. The regulator is planning to reduce the curbs on individual members and clients and encourage hedgers in the market.
Position limits of individual clients in the commodity exchanges are likely to be made dynamic soon. At present, these limits are fixed for each client irrespective of the overall open interest.
"We are planning to introduce client limits linked to the overall open interest in the market," a senior official told Business Standard.
The stock has soared 17% to Rs 71.30 on the Bombay Stock Exchange.
Metal for delivery in November shed 0.14%
Weak trend trend overseas, eroding demand for the precious metals, pulled down silver prices
Market analysts said besides better demand in spot market, covering-up of short positions by speculators, supported the upside
The stock rallied 5% to Rs 378 on NSE after reporting profit of Rs 31 crore in September quarter against Rs 10 crore in a year ago quarter.
Unitech, IVRCL Infra, HCC, GVK Power, NBCC,D B Realty, Patel Engg, Shriam EPC and Gayatri Projects are up 4-10%.

Citing the difficulties that operators face with downhole vibrations related to MWD and LWD equipment, Svein Magne Osnes with StatoilHydro called for the industry to establish a standard on the measurement/classification and reporting of vibration data, during his presentation at the 2009 SPE/IADC Drilling Conference on 17 March in Amsterdam.
No standard exists in the industry for downhole vibration testing, reporting or qualification, he said, and service companies have each developed different ways to measure and quantify downhole shocks and vibrations.

Focusing on environmental performance during the HSE session of the 2009 SPE/IADC Drilling Conference, Dr Jerome Schubert of Texas A&M University presented the "661 Team Challenge" project that a graduate class undertook last year. Under that assignment, students used a systems engineering optimization protocol approach to incorporate current and emerging environmentally friendly technologies into a clean drilling system with no or very limited environmental impact.
The class challenge was done in conjunction with an ongoing project by the university in designing Environmentally Friendly Drilling (EFD) systems. Among other positive benefits, it helped to populate a database of environmentally friendly technologies that could limit drilling's environmental impact.

Economic crisis notwithstanding, activity in West Africa forges ahead. Recently, both BP and Anadarko announced discoveries, while TOTAL revealed the early startup on its Akpo deepwater development offshore Nigeria.
BP and its partner, Angolan national oil company Sonangol, announced the Leda discovery in ultra-deepwater Block 31, its 17th discovery in the block, located in its central northern portion, roughly 415 km northwest of Luanda and 12 km southwest of the Marte field.
The discovery well was drilled by the Transocean Explorer in 2,070 m (6,790 ft) of water and reached a TD of 5,907 m (19,381 ft). BP said that Leda is the fifth discovery in Block 31 where the exploration well was drilled through salt to access the oil-bearing sandstone. The well tested at 5,040 bbl/day through a 36/64ths choke, according to the company.

BP Chief Executive Tony Hayward said BP intends to "drive deflation" in the business during 2009, after holding costs flat last year. Speaking recently to financial analysts in London, Mr Hayward singled out refining, marketing and alternative energy as areas for cuts in capital expenditures, pledging to maintain E&P spending.
"Our view is that the right current balance is both to continue paying the dividend and to maintain investment to grow the firm – and to use the capacity of our balance sheet while the industry cost structure adjusts," he said. "We began our drive in 2007 to counter the cost inflation that had developed alongside rising oil prices. Our mantra is that every dollar counts and every seat counts, and we are applying it with determination."

Larry Dickerson, Diamond Offshore, was named 2009 IADC Contractor of the Year during a luncheon at the Houston Petroleum Club on 4 March. The award, sponsored for the 22nd year by NOV ReedHycalog, recognizes outstanding contributions and leadership to the association and the drilling industry.
"This is a tremendous honor. The list of past recipients is incredible, with many pioneers in the industry. I'm certainly humbled to be grouped with them," Mr Dickerson said in accepting the award.
Referring to a quote by Milton Friedman asserting that no one can make a pencil – because no one person possesses all the skills needed to make the pencil – Mr Dickerson said he believes that "no one can drill a well." It requires not only the expertise of drilling contractors, but also many other disciplines from service companies, operators, regulators and governments.

The world lives in a new energy era now, and the oil industry must learn to play by the new rules if it wants to maintain its dominant role in the global energy market, said Dr Nansen G Saleri, CEO and president of Quantum Reservoir Impact, during the IADC Contractor of the Year Luncheon and Directors Meeting on 4 March, held in conjunction with the Houston Chapter.
In a multifaceted keynote presentation titled "The Future of Oil," Dr Saleri began by describing the parameters defining the energy market as the "Imperfect Storm." Factors like the world recession, price volatility, geopolitics, resource nationalism, Peak Oil, renewable energy and global warming – they're all key ingredients in the energy equation that make it difficult to make predictions about the oil business.

EVERETT, Wash. - The Boise Hawks forfeited tonight's Northwest League baseball game to the Everett Aquasox, 9-0, before a crowd of 2,798 at Everett Memorial Stadium.
After an 80-minute rain delay at the outset of the game, the Hawks went down in order in the top half of the first, but the Aquasox got a leadoff double from Terry Serrano and with two outs, Kevin Rivers singled through the middle to give Everett a 1-0 lead. Hawkins Gebbers followed with a drive into the left field corner, however Boise leftfielder Ryan Cuneo slipped and fell on the wet warning track, allowing Rivers to score from first, making it 2-0.
Boise skipper Jody Davis walked out and met with home plate umpire, Matt Mullins, and after a lengthy discussion, pulled his nine position players off the diamond.
After a delay of over 20 minutes, Mullins started play - with Gebbers back at second base and Evan Sharpley, the next scheduled batter at the plate, but the Hawks did not return to the field. Following the mandated five-minute grace period stated by the MLB Rule Book, the game was ruled a forfeit.
Game 4 of the series is scheduled for 3:05 p.m. (MDT) - with probable pitchers for both teams to be determined.
NOTES: According to Minor League Baseball Advanced Media that none of the statistics from the game will count - as Alvaro Ramirez grounded out in his lone plate appearance, which would have ended his hit streak at 11 games...all fans were treated to a fireworks show following the game and can exchange tickets to any future Everett Aquasox home game in 2010.

I am so happy to work with Mr Fakhimi,at first my case seem to be a very slow process but with him ,everything went so smooth.I highly recommend him to whoever wants to get a professinal lower.
Mr. Fakhimi is the most compassionate and skilled attorney's we've ever had the pleasure of working with. He handled our massive employment litigation case beautifully, with an incredible knowledge of the law and such tenacity that we would definitely hire him again. Such a pleasure to work with someone so brilliant and someone who truly cares for the welfare of his clients.
When you think of a lawyer you do not expect compassion, understanding or responsiveness as the attributes you would likely experience. Mr Fakhimi has certainly changed my mind. He made life so much easier for me. He was calm informatitive and walked me through each step of the process. I wish I had hired him 2 years ago!
I hired Houman Fakhimi for my bother I, for possession with intend to sell case and this attorney and his defense team did a remarkable job. They keep us updated and aware of what whats going on he helps us bail out of jail in instantly and kept us from going back to jail and and were 100% satisfied with his work and the deal he got us. I got to admit this wasnt an easy case and he took care of it like a professional I truly recommend him with any kind of case and matter he is very experienced and knowledge of his work and he truly loves what he does
I would like to express my immense recognition, gratitude and pride after being represented by attorney Houman Fakhimi with my legal case. He did a great job at the court and also, I introduced him to four of friends to assist and defend them at court. Houman worked all cases extremely hard and all charges were later dropped for all four cases!! I can testify and say that with Mr. Fakhimi's professionalism and his great qualities made it all happened. Besides being my attorney, Houman has become my personal friend because when I was going thru this hard situation he offered his friendship more than anything and Houman handled both the professionalism and his friendship with great quality and with kindness. And that is why I can call him Houman because besides being my attorney, he is my friend and if anybody is in a situation like mine in where you need legal help you can definitely call him and I assure you that you will be expressing yourself the same way I am expressing myself about Houman today.
we hired Houman for my son's felony case. Houman worked on the case for 4 year. I being an attorney myself with 40 years of experience found Houman to be experienced, dedicated and honest. Houman had the case fully dismissed which was even better than I thought we can do. My family and I appreciate his help.
We use attorneys before and never on like him! He promises the world to get your money then he goes and ignores you and sends you to his bad attitude employees! They do not fight for you. he makes excuses for you to settle. Many times does not even know whats my case about. He even hired his own person to serve papers and the guy billed me 3,000 dollars for service. He threatened to drop my case that i paid him in full for me to extort more money from me... He is a rip off my recommendation is to find a different attorney.
Lawyer Comment:
What Anthony fails to mention is that through the efforts of our office and our PI Anthony's major theft case was DISMISSED and he was saved from having a felony on his record and spending months in jail. Once the case was dismissed however, Anthony refused to pay the PI who diligently worked on his case . As a result the PI who we had hired to work on the case sued Anthony and has received a judgement against him. As it relates to the civil case we wont comment at this time because Anthony and his girlfriend/boss are still our clients and refuse to relieve us from the case. Once we are relieved we will update this comment and seek redress from them both and her sister/partner.

Houman Fakhimi is an excellent lawyer. He undertook my case, and he is very responsible. He always analysed the case with me, and let me know the progress of the case. He always protected me, told me what I should do or what is not good for me. I respect and admire him pretty much. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience. He tried his best to help me. I am very satisfied with the result of my case. I want to say thank you so much, Fakhimi.
Mr. Fakhimi helped me out during a tough time in which I ran into some trouble with the law at a Music Festival. I was nervous, anxious, and was in the process of applying to jobs. Houman kept me calm and took care of the situation for me on a daily basis and kept me informed every step of the way. I recommend Mr. Fakhimi for any law-related troubles you may be in. Trust me, he will help you with everything he has.
I honestly believe Mr. Houman Fakhimi, as an ethical professional, deserves to be recognized nationally within the legal practicing communities due to his performance as a high caliber and committed criminal defense attorney. Mr. Fakhimi defended me in waiving my DUI probation period, and afterwards confidently entered into a high risk "NOT GUILTY" plea and consequently dismissed my case in its entirety successfully. He dismissed my case expeditiously and generously within my limited budget as he had had initially intended.
I applaud him for his dedication and commitment to his clients. I am grateful to have had an opportunity to meet and employ Houman Fakhimi as an exceptional, generous, hardworking, and competent defense attorney who vastly exceeds his peers' level of professionalism.
I am a solemn advocate of Houman and would urge you to employ him as an exceptional attorney who would be on your side uninterruptedly to resolve your criminal case, regardless of the unique nature of your legal case and financial situation.

The Coast Guard has completed the second of three planned shipboard demonstrations of unmanned aircraft system (UAS) capabilities aboard Coast Guard Cutter 'Bertholf' .
The Coast Guard is using knowledge gained from these demonstrations to inform a future cutter-based UAS acquisition project.
During the two-week deployment, the UAS demonstration team operated a ScanEagle UAS for more than 90 hours of flight time and aided in the interdiction of nearly 600 kilograms of cocaine – the first Coast Guard interdiction conducted with the support of an embarked UAS asset.
The ScanEagle was deployed by Bertholf to provide real-time surveillance and location information of a suspected go-fast vessel. The UAS located the target vessel and maintained constant on-scene surveillance until the cutter-based MH-65D helicopter and response boats arrived to interdict and apprehend the vessel's crew. The seamless handoff between responding assets – including the U.S. Customs and Border Protection P-3 aircraft that first spotted the target vessel; UAS; upgraded MH-65D; next-generation response boats and Bertholf, with the regular communication to shore commands – resulted in the successful operation.
The UAS evaluation was conducted by a team of technicians and aviators from Coast Guard Headquarters, the Coast Guard Research and Development Center , Coast Guard Air Station North Bend, Ore., and Insitu Inc.
The entire test period included concurrent flight operations with a MH-65D helicopter stationed aboard the Bertholf. UAS testing included use of the daytime camera, the combination electro-optical/infrared camera and auto detection software.
