This final work has a singular immediacy and relevance to current events than any other plays of the 20th Century cycle. It is set in 1997 and centers around the character Harmond Wilks and his campaign to be the first black mayor of Pittsburgh\, Pennsylvania. The challenges faced by Wilks and the themes present in the play hold compelling parallels to those of Barack Obama. I had the opportunity to attend the opening night and I feel compelled to share this excellent and relevant play with all those who support\, god willing\, our next President. I hold even the perhaps naive idea that word of this play will reach the ear of Senator Obama himself and that he might have the opportunity to see it personally\, it is the last work of a brilliant playwright and illustrates\, on a smaller scale\, events happening here and now\, some three years after it's creation.

Fowkes\, Tom Nufert When: Tuesday\, October 14th\, 6:30 - 9:00 pm  Where: Fenwick & West\, 801 California St.\, Mountain View\, CA  RSVP: http://www.jhtc.org Regular Admission: $10     Student Admission: $5 (ID required) Members Admission: Included (Join at http://www.jhtc.org) Agenda 6:30 - 7:00: Networking\, schmoozing and eating - Bring your job postings\, business cards and resumes! 7:00 - 7:10: Welcome\, committee news and other group business 7:10 - 8:30: Presentation and Discussion with our featured guests 8:30 - 9:00: Informal discussions and networking with our guests and each other A light meal and soft drinks will be provided About the Speakers Richard Hamilton Gibbs is an entrepreneur in the computer\, computer peripheral\, media and home entertainment markets currently researching how technological advances are affecting distribution models for music and movies and how adherence to traditional models are damaging the profitability of mainstream entertainment businesses\, sabotaging revenues for artists\, and alienating consumers based on competition between proprietary and non-proprietary platforms. Steven W. Fowkes is the Director of the Cognitive Enhancement Research Institute (http://www.ceri.com) and a co-author of the 1993 book Smart Drugs II. Steve's expertise is the use of generic substances (foods\, dietary supplements and patent-expired pharmaceuticals) to treat both "normal" age-related mental decline (e.g.\, "senior moments" or chronic "brain fog") and overt cognitive diseases (e.g.\, Down's syndrome and Alzheimer's disease). In 2002\, he invented the first of a series of vector-directional polymers with nanostructural self-assembly capabilities\, which he is now developing in two startups. He will contrast the divergent developmental challenges with generic vs. proprietary technologies to explain why both leave viable solutions sitting unused on the shelf. Tom Nufert is a co-founding partner with Steve Fowkes in Nanopolymer Systems (http://nanopolymersystems.com) and ThioCell (the nanostructured-battery company). Tom was a co-founder of Array BioSciences\, which developed a universal spit-on-a-chip bioanalytical system (merging chemistry\, biology and physics) and TRC Corporation\, which developed chromium-based pharmaceutical treatments for insulin resistance (syndrome X). He has extensive knowledge of self-care treatments for a variety of chronic degenerative conditions ranging from the near-universal-in-America insulin resistance to the #2 and #3 causes of death—heart disease and cancer.

All Skill Levels Are Welcome DESCRIPTION: [Full details at http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/651273/ ] No plans for Sat yet? Please come out & join us for some friendly pool games!! All skill levels are welcome! I am hosting another social pool mixer. As usual\, we would be rotating people around the tables every 30-45 minutes. Below is the details. Our event usually has 25-30 people showed up (Please ignore the number of RSVPs on the Upcoming.org as I would be promoting the events via a few channels.) When: Saturday Oct 18th 7:00pm-10:30pm Location: California Billiards at 881 East El Camino Real\, Mountain View\, CA Cost: $15.00/person to be collected when signing in. For those who would like to stay & play more pool after the event finished at 10:30pm\, California Billiard Club offers our group $10 flat fee per person til they close at 2am RSVP: Please email me @ soyeeng@gmail.com by Friday Oct 17th. I need your FULL name\,email address\, number of guests (if any) with their names\, phone number optional. Although RSVP is not required\, it would be helpful to let me know if you plan on coming. I don't have email access after 4pm on Sat\, so if you do decide to join us the last minute\, please simply show up. How we'll find each other: Ask for Shirley's or BAPBSC's group How it works: 1. I would rotate people around tables every 40-45 minutes. Table assignment is random\, though I would make my best effort to make sure a good gender mix per table. If you got rotated to a table that you have already played with 2 out of 3 players TWICE\, please let me know\, I would try my best to switch table for you. 2. I would try to have 4 people per table. 3. Since we would be rotating\, it's less confusing if everyone plays the same rules. Game rules can be emailed if requested & is available on the event date. 4. When table assignment has announced\, everyone has to move to their next assigned table even if you "think" you are almost done with the game\, since it's impossible for every table to finish at the same time\, that way it won't slow down the table rotation for everyone. 5. If you need to leave early\, please let me know 10 min before you actually leave\, so I would leave your name out for next rotation. To be notified with our future pool events\, go to yahoo.com\, then go to "group"\, search for BAPBSC (Stands for Bay Area Pool\, Billiards\, Snooker Club)\, then select to join/ subscribe to the club. It is FREE to join. IMPORTANT: If you don't have Yahoo ID\, please email me at soyeeng@gmail.com with your email address\, I would manually add you as member. I look forward to seeing you all again then.

Well now's your chance to get an insider's view on your "dream job" from professional writer/activist Mat Thomas\, who will tell you everything you need to know (or\, at least\, some things he's learned making a living working for animals). His talk will cover: - The pros and cons of pursuing a career in animal protection\, from following your personal passions and seeking right livelihood to dealing with office politics and internecine strife - The different types of jobs offered in the non-profit sector\, the general qualifications needed to get them\, and the various salary grades - The respective value of spending most of your waking hours on animal protection vs. helping animals while holding down a "real" job Being a professional animal activist is not for everyone\, but for some people it's the perfect fit. Do you want to devote your life to a cause you deeply believe in? Do you consistently feel restless\, bored or dissatisfied with your current employment\, and want to change careers? Do you want to use your skills and talents for the betterment of all species? Then come hear what Mat has to say\, and get answers to the questions you have (and if he doesn't know something\, he might know someone who does). Speaker bio: Mat Thomas is a San Francisco-based writer/editor for Farm Sanctuary (www.farmsanctuary.org)\, the world's first and largest farm animal shelter\, and Associate Editor of their quarterly magazine\, Sanctuary. He also pens the News Beet column for VegNews magazine (www.vegnews.com)\, and has written feature articles for numerous vegetarian lifestyle and animal rights publications. Mat also spent four years as a writer/editor for In Defense of Animals (www.idausa.org)\, and before that logged an equal amount of time writing business proposals for a managed behavioral healthcare corporation (until animal activism took over his life). You can read much of Mat's writing on his website and blog at www.animalrighter.org. Animal Rights and Veganism Animal rights is a philosophy and movement founded on compassion for animals and the right of all beings to live free from exploitation. Animals\, like humans\, are living beings who experience pain and pleasure. Whatever happens to an animal—whether she is confined or free\, neglected or nurtured—means a world of difference to her\, even if it matters to no one else. Recognizing this\, animal rights proponents maintain that animals exist not for our use but for themselves\, and that we do not have the right to intentionally hurt and kill animals simply because we are able. Veganism is the enactment of animal rights in everyday life: it is a lifestyle that embodies compassion for all living beings and a practical way to reduce suffering\, protect the environment and improve your own health.

All Skill levels are welcome DESCRIPTION: [Full details at http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/191806/ ] No plans for Sat yet? Please come out & join us for some friendly pool games!! All skill levels are welcome! I am hosting another social pool mixer. As usual\, we would be rotating people around the tables every 30-45 minutes. Below is the details. Our event usually has 25-30 people showed up (Please ignore the number of RSVPs on the Upcoming.org as I would be promoting the events via a few channels.) When: Saturday Nov 1st 7:00pm-10:30pm Location: Shoreline Billiards at 1400 North Shoreline Blvd. #C-1\, Mountain View\, CA Cost: $15.00/person to be collected when signing in. For those who would like to stay & play more pool after the event finished at 10:30pm\, Shoreline Billiards offer our group $5 flat fee per person til they close at 2am RSVP: Please email me @ soyeeng@gmail.com by Friday Oct 31st. I need your FULL name\,email address\, number of guests (if any) with their names\, phone number optional. Although RSVP is not required\, it would be helpful to let me know if you plan on coming. I don't have email access after 4pm on Sat\, so if you do decide to join us the last minute\, please simply show up. How we'll find each other: Ask for Shirley's or BAPBSC's group How it works: 1. I would rotate people around tables every 40-45 minutes. Table assignment is random\, though I would make my best effort to make sure a good gender mix per table. If you got rotated to a table that you have already played with 2 out of 3 players TWICE\, please let me know\, I would try my best to switch table for you. 2. I would try to have 4 people per table. 3. Since we would be rotating\, it's less confusing if everyone plays the same rules. Game rules can be emailed if requested & is available on the event date. 4. When table assignment has announced\, everyone has to move to their next assigned table even if you "think" you are almost done with the game\, since it's impossible for every table to finish at the same time\, that way it won't slow down the table rotation for everyone. 5. If you need to leave early\, please let me know 10 min before you actually leave\, so I would leave your name out for next rotation. To be notified with our future pool events\, go to yahoo.com\, then go to "group"\, search for BAPBSC (Stands for Bay Area Pool\, Billiards\, Snooker Club)\, then select to join/ subscribe to the club. It is FREE to join. IMPORTANT: If you don't have Yahoo ID\, please email me at soyeeng@gmail.com with your email address\, I would manually add you as member. I look forward to seeing you all again then.

All skill levels are welcome DESCRIPTION: [Full details at http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/189243/ ] No plan for Friday yet? Please come & join us for our TGIF Social Pool & Pizza Night. We can share some pizzas & play some friendly pool games while meeting new friends! This will be a TGIF Social Pool & Pizza Night. We have done that before & it was a lot of fun. As some of you may not have enough time to eat after work\, I will order some pizzas to share. Please let me know\, if you want to be included for the pizza dinner when signing in the event so that I know how much to order\, it will probably cost about $7 per person. Below is the details of the event. Hope you can make it. (Please ignore the number of RSVP on the Upcoming.org site as I promote the events via multiple channels. Our social pool events usually have 20-25 people showed up): Date: Friday April 10th 7:00pm-10:30pm Location: Shoreline Billiards 1400 North Shoreline Blvd. #C-1\, Mountain View 650-964-0780 Cost: $15/person to be collected when signing in. (About $7 additional if you would like to join us for the pizzas.) If you'd like to stay & play for longer after the event finished at 10:30pm\, Shoreline offers us a $5 flat fee per person til they close at 2am\, 2-4 persons per table depending on how busy the poolroom gets. RSVP: Please email me @ soyeeng@gmail.com with your FULL name\, email address\, number of guests (if any) with their names\, phone number is optional. Although RSVP is not required\, it would be helpful to let me know if ou plan on coming. I don't have email access after 4pm on Friday\, so if you do decide to join us the last minute\, you can simply show up or call me at 415-215-0761. How it works: 1. I would rotate people around tables every 40-45 minutes. Table assignment is random\, though I would make my best effort to make sure a good gender mix per table. 2. I would try to have 4 people per table. 3. Since we would be rotating\, it's less confusing if everyone plays the same rules. Game rules is available on the event date. 4. When table assignment has announced\, everyone has to move to their next assigned table even if you "think" you are almost done with the game\, since it's impossible for every table to finish at the same time\, that way it won't slow down the table rotation for everyone. 5. If you need to leave early\, please let me know 10 min before you actually leave\, so I would leave your name out for next rotation. How we'll find each other: Ask for Shirley's or BAPBSC group Look forward to seeing you then. To be notified with our future pool events\, go to yahoo.com\, then go to "group"\, search for BAPBSC (Stands for Bay Area Pool\, Billiards\, Snooker Club)\, then select to join/ subscribe to the club. It is FREE to join. IMPORTANT: If you don't have Yahoo ID\, please email me at soyeeng@gmail.com with your email address\, I would manually add you as member.
