The Arab Spring's Three Foundations
Wave of Change Issue
Social media played only a supporting role in North Africa and the Middle East
It has scarcely been a year since the Arab Spring swept across the Middle East and North Africa. Since then, emboldened Tunisians and Egyptians have, through mainly peaceful means, unseated their governments and ousted their respective presidents. Other popular protest movements, which have proven considerably bloodier, have spread in Bahrain, Syria, Yemen and Libya. Many observers were quick to credit social media such as Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube with providing the tools Arab citizens needed to overcome generations of fear and political apathy. This view, though alluring, is far too simple. Repression and the absence of meaningful political expression, with or without the tools of technology, have been the rule for decades, not the exception. So the question that requires further inquiry is: Why now? Three systemic changes during the past 30 years may reveal some useful answers.
The first change began in the 1980s, when many Middle East and North Africa (MENA) states adopted political and economic liberalization programs, partly as a means of transitioning rentier economies into global free-market economies. Economic restructuring often went hand in hand with bold promises of political reform. Unfortunately, economic liberalization proved difficult, and even the most reform-minded states were either too fast or too slow in making these transitions. In 1992, Algeria's fast and loose liberalization process inadvertently brought Algeria's Islamic Salvation Front to power through the ballot box. In response, Algeria's military government aborted the electoral process, reneged on promises of political reform, annulled the election and subsequently swept Algeria into a decade-long civil conflict that left 200,000 dead. Algeria's experience with reform chastened other MENA states, which concluded that reform was a recipe for their eventual demise. Though some continued to engage in slow and plodding reforms, most reduced liberalization to a mere façade. Not surprisingly, citizens who had embraced their governments' promises of reform were slowly cured of their optimism.
The second systemic change came with the rapid growth of satellite television, beginning with the debut of Al-Jazeera in 1996. Al-Jazeera was followed in less than a decade by no fewer than 700 satellite stations. Arab governments, along with some Western ones, tried to reduce the appeal of Al-Jazeera first through gentle coercion and then through co-optation. When these efforts failed, many governments opened up access to the media market, thereby flooding the airwaves with hundreds of competing channels and programming. In less than a decade, Arab citizens could choose from a smorgasbord of local and international news, entertainment, and religious programming that exposed them to open debate on issues that previously had only taken place privately behind closed doors. In short, viewers came to expect and demand greater selection and diversity and, to an increasing degree, also demanded more of Arab media as a whole.
The third systemic change arrived in the aftermath of 9/11. Though unintended, the dominance of the Global War on Terrorism led by the United States made it expedient, convenient, and in some cases, necessary to adopt what has been called a new "counterterrorism culture." Post 9/11 politics placed security before reform and inadvertently justified extension or readoption of heavy-handed and semiauthoritarian practices even in states that had made some progress in moving away from dependence on security apparatuses. Egypt dusted off and repackaged old emergency laws, Bahrain adopted anti-incitement legislation titled "Protecting Society from Terrorist Acts," and Jordan, a state previously hailed as a model of successful reform, aggressively pursued security threats to the kingdom, including the decision to twice dissolve its parliament. A majority of Arab citizens who were polled in the years after 2004 believed that their governments viewed civil liberties and reform as secondary to promoting counterterrorism, state security and continuation of the status quo. Of the three systemic changes, this period may well have done the most to convince the average citizen that working within the system would yield nothing.
In his 1998 book The Dream Palace of the Arabs, Fouad Ajami described an Arab citizen longing for a noble past and loathing the repressive present, but without the will to imagine, let alone bring about, a better future. Perhaps the Arab Spring has awakened us all from our own lazy sleep. The future strength and integrity of that dream palace rests firmly on the failures and successes of these three systemic changes.

50 things to do in New York City on a Friday 2012
Every weekend should be a long one with these fab ways to spend a Friday.
RECOMMENDED: The most up-to-date 150 weekend activities in NYC
Browse art or watch movies for free at MoMA
Leave Andrew Jackson at home and visit MoMA for free between 4 and 8pm every Friday night. You'll still need to get in line for entry and film tickets, but get there as the clock strikes four and you'll be fine.
Bowl till 2am at Harlem Lanes
The 24 alleys and nice I'm-drunk-and-need-snacks-now menu options make Harlem Lanes the perfect destination for uptowners who don't feel like trekking out of the neighborhood for tenpin goodness.
Experience Girls & Boys at Webster Hall
One of the most popular regular parties in the city also offers one of the biggest discounts. Girls & Boys at Webster Hall, which draws high-profile international acts like Simian Mobile Disco, The Crystal Method and Liquid Stranger, allows you to sign up via the Webster Hall website to gain entry for $5 before 11pm, and $10 before 12am.
Take a free 90-minute Grand Central tour with Justin Ferate
Acclaimed guide Justin Ferate not only dissects the lore and legends of Grand Central Terminal's history, but places them within the context of its lesser-known neighborhood.
Watch poets battle in slam night at Nuyorican Poets Cafe
At this nearly 40-year-old joint, poetry is a contact sport—especially on Friday's slam night. Lyricists from the boroughs and beyond square off, and the winner is determined by an animated, jam-packed house.
Sing along to show tunes at Marie's Crisis Café
If you like how people in musicals can go without warning from normal conversation to singing their hearts out, this is the West Village bar for you. One minute, the barmaid is pouring you a drink, the next she's belting out "Me and Bobby McGee." The main attraction of this basement joint is the piano, around which show-tune lovers gather nightly, starting at 5:30pm.
Catch cabaret cinema at Rubin Museum of Art
Buy a drink ($8-$10) and this Himalayas-focused museum will treat you to cabaret-style viewings ranging from Fellini to Miyazaki.
Slurp oysters for cheap at Fish
An anomaly on a tourist-trap street, this small, nautically decorated restaurant delivers what it promises: $2 oysters (especially the Japanese varieties) that are reliably good. $8 gets you six oysters and a glass of wine or beer.
Listen to jazz at Bemelmans Bar at the Carlyle Hotel
Choice acts keep New York's most dapper nightspot on the map, while the steep cover charge and white-jacketed service make sure riffraff doesn't scuff up the bar's most valued draw: original Ludwig Bemelmans murals. Mixologist Brian Van Flandern's spiffy (and pricey) potions preserve the bar's classic character.
Free Music Fridays at the American Folk Art Museum
Close out your workweek at the American Folk Art Museum, where the Free Music Fridays series features performances from Americana, folk, indie-pop and other acts.
The Wild Ones
Samuel Valentine and Michael T are the DJs behind this messy rock & roll shindig (with an emphasis on '80s-era hair metal) featuring trashy go-go action and lots of heavy drinking.
Ride your steed at Critical Mass
Join other pedal pushers for a public bike ride, to assert your rights as a cyclist and your right to have an enjoyable cycle with a friendly crew. The Manhattan event happens the last Friday of every month at 7pm, and the more open, less traffic-clogged Brooklyn ride is on the second Friday of every month.
Hear traditional Russian music at Russian Samovar
Enjoy three-piece bands as the samovar-shaped lamps with gold mesh shades grow more gorgeous with every shot of 20 house-infused vodkas.
Enjoy apertivo at Dell'anima
Splurge on, say, a $12 tipple of Aperol or Six Points Sweet Action and you could make an early dinner out of the complimentary Italian snacks—like frittata triangles, citrus-and-fennel salad, and mixed olives.
Go for some deep relaxation at the Integral Yoga Institute
Wind down every Friday with a peaceful, gratis 45-minute deep relaxation class. The session begins with gentle stretching, then moves on to a long period of yoga nidra (deep relaxation) and concludes with breathing practices and a brief meditation. Arrive early—the class fills up fast.
Take advantage of free Friday hours at the Whitney Museum of American Art
From 6 to 9pm, admission is whatever you want it to be. Which is a bargain considering that you can spend those hours staring at new exhibitions or the excellent permanent collection of modern art.
Pay what you wish at the International Center of Photography
On Fridays, we recommend heading to ICP, where entry is based on a voluntary contribution and you can take in two floors' worth of photos and video exhibitions on the cheap.
Have a drink and listen to live music at The Metropolitan Museum of Art
On Fridays from 4 to 8:30pm, sip wine ($12), beer ($7), or a mojito ($12) at the second-floor Great Hall Balcony Bar, which peers onto the stately foyer. Live classical music courtesy of a piano player or string quartet adds to the sophisticated atmosphere.
See a film and get popcorn at IFC Center
The organic kernels at this West Village theater are popped in canola oil, lightly salted and bathed in real melted butter. Not in the mood for a movie? Top a pot off with a shake of Old Bay seasoning and be on your way — you don't have to be a ticket holder to score this $5 snack.
Catch cabaret at Feinstein's at Loews Regency Ballroom
Cabaret's crown prince Michael Feinstein draws A-list talent to this swank room in the Regency. It's pricey, but you usually get what you pay for. The list of past guests include David Hyde Pierce, Chita Rivera, Diahann Caroll and Ben Vereen. On Fridays, enjoy the 8pm show or the late show at 10:30pm.
Have a drink at Brandy Library
Downtown booze connoisseurs frequent this so-called library, the only one we can think of where liquor lines the walls. A novella-size drinks menu lists a glossary of spirits and 100 cocktail options, among them the Corpse Reviver (gin, lemon juice, Lillet Blonde, Cointreau and Pernod) and the Jarnac Ginger (cognac, bitters and ginger beer). Getting a table earns you a basket of gratis gougères (warm cheese puffs).
Bowl till 4am at Brooklyn Bowl
This bowling alley and live music venue fully embraces the new mania for local nostalgia. The space takes its design cues from Coney Island with old freak-show posters and carnival-game relics, and all of the beer sold inside—by Sixpoint, Kelso and the Brooklyn Brewery—is made in the borough. This is a great place to kill a few hours with a big rowdy group: You can tackle a pitcher and the stoner-food menu from the Blue Ribbon team (delicious fatty brisket, Old Bay–fried chicken) laneside between frames. The plush tufted couches are the most luxurious alley seating we've ever seen.
Double up at Tacos Matamoros
Have $5 and an unlimited MetroCard, will travel for tacos: If this describes you (and if it doesn't, you should take a long, hard look at yourself), head to Sunset Park and the vast Tacos Matamoros. Grab two Vegetarianos ($1.25) and take the tacos—stuffed with rice, beans, cilantro and onions, dusted with two cheeses (one creamy, one crumbly) and laced with a bracing tomatillo salsa—to Sunset Park to watch the sun go down. Mull over which is better, the tacos or a view of the sky changing colors behind a sublime panoramic view of lower Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty.
Play Ping-Pong at SPiN New York
With its 15 Olympic-grade Ping-Pong tables, this sprawling club is one helluva place to grip a paddle.
Eat a weekday-only lunch at the John Dory
It might not seem wise to order the roasted-pork sandwich ($16) at a seafood joint, but if it's made by chef April Bloomfield, it's a sure thing. From noon to 4pm, thick slices of succulent loin are piled with macerated red onions and tiny mixed greens on a sturdy round roll, each side slathered with "tuna mayo." Like a tartar sauce times ten, the umami-rich smear is laced with anchovies and flaky wedges of tuna. For more great lunch-only dishes, click here.
Drink on rooftops
Take advantage of New York's enviable views by getting buzzed at a rooftop bar. Among Manhattan's wealth of hotel toppers, we recommend Upstairs on the 31st floor of the Kimberly. The urbane setting, with ivy-covered walls and nary a cabana in sight, is best experienced at night, when the canopy of lightbulbs strung above the terrace sets off the sight of the Chrysler Building. For more great vistas, check out our guide to rooftop bars in New York.
Wander among masterworks at The Frick Collection
Once the stately residence of Gilded Age industrialist Henry Clay Frick, this Upper East Side institution is now home to its patron's world-class collection of art, particularly paintings by Old Masters (including Johannes Vermeer and Giovanni Bellini). Once you've perused the museum's galleries, head to the Portico Gallery, a small space that opened in late 2011. The narrow room houses a collection of Meissen porcelain, but you can also admire the flowers blooming in the adjacent Fifth Avenue Garden.
Sweat it out at Body by Brooklyn
Weekends are all about new beginnings, and there's no better place to achieve catharsis than in a spa. At Body by Brooklyn, you can spend Friday nights until 9pm cycling through a Swedish dry sauna, a Turkish steam room, pools galore and a lounge. To really pay penance, ask for the platza treatment to be brushed and gently beaten with a bundle of oak leaves ($40, with sea salt scrub $80) before being drenched in ice-cold water—invigorating doesn't come close to describing it.
Drink on the waterfront
Sun-deprived city slickers can pretend they're boozing oceanside at Beekman Beer Garden Beach Club. The former Water Taxi Beach location has kept the 300 pounds of sand left by its former occupant, but the rejiggered drinkery now features a menu from Buddakan alum Jason Mayer. Settle into a communal wood table with a wurst, burger or lobster roll, or hit up one of the game tables for a round of Ping-Pong, pool or foosball. Beer lovers can grab one of six drafts—such as Sixpoint Crisp Lager, Ommegang Witte Beer and Magic Hat #9—at two long driftwood bars.
Ryan's Daughter
Though Ryan's Daughter only opened in 1979, there has been a bar at the same Upper East Side location since the Prohibition era. Over the years, the pub has maintained the same welcoming feel and today, it still plays host to plenty of neighborhood events. Stop by on the first Wednesday of every month to watch the unofficial UES poll championships. From time to time, the upstairs bar even hosts performances of plays written by local thespians. During the colder months, sip on an Irish coffee to warm up—Ryan's Daughter offers both the classic recipe and one spiked with whiskey and Bailey's—or a hot toddy. The bar has an extensive list of beers on tap, including their own house ale ($5), Paulaner hefeweizen ($6) and Six Point "The Crisp" Pilz ($6). The usual suspects—Budweiser ($5), Corona ($6) and Pabst Blue Ribbon ($4)—appear in bottles or cans, but the best deal might be the pairing of a can of Narragansett Del's Shandy with a well shot ($9).
Venue says: "Join us every Monday night for themed quizzes in our cozy second floor bar. $50 bar tab to the winning team. Prizes for the "losers" too"

Remembering Actor Cory Monteith [PHOTO GALLERY]
We still can't believe this!
"Glee" actor Cory Monteith, who played high school football player Finn on the hit Fox show, passed away this weekend in a Vancouver hotel room.
The 31-year-old triple threat had publicly spoken out about his debilitating drug addiction, first entering rehab when he was 19 and more recently this past March.
The official cause of death won't be released until his autopsy is done later today. It's a sad, sad, sad day for "Glee" fans. Whenever Cory came up to visit our show he was always a sweet and kind person!!! We have fond memories of him.
"Glee" co-star and girlfriend Lea Michele has asked for privacy during this difficult time. Her people released the following statement: "We ask that everybody kindly respect Lea's privacy during this devastating time."
Check out our photo gallery to honor Cory's successful career.

Tantrums of a 4 Year old
This is regarding my 4 year old daughter who when returns from an amusement park or from mall or any other place where she has really enjoyed... she is agitated to be home, she will yell and be rude. I dont know why she does it, she is a well behaved kid but throws alot of tantrums the minute she is back home. What shall i do to prevent this?
I have tried giving her a treat the second we enter the house but that mostly entails a tv half hour or a fun item or a toy but i do run out of ideas and i don't want to spoil her.
If there is any other solution, i'd love to hear it because my mum thinks i am spoiling my kid. I should also mention that i'm a single mum, so the responsibility lies on me to handle her 24/7.

It can be really frustrating when you see a behavior that you don't like and are at a loss for how to change it. Unfortunately, trying to appease a 4 year old by giving her a treat actually reinforces the poor behavior.
We want to use treats to reinforce good behavior. If your daughter now has the idea that she will get a treat if she throws a tantrum when you get home, then... she will throw a tantrum when you get home.
My guess is that the treat may stop the tantrum for a time, but it's truly not addressing the root of the problem.
Having worked in a preschool for 6 years, and having raised 5 children past the age of 4, I can say with authority that 4 year olds are often just asking for mum to show them boundaries. A 4 year old who is left to pretty much do as she pleases will feel insecure, and children like security.
When your daughter throws a tantrum (whenever it may be) she is saying "I need help because I'm feeling insecure and out of control." So here are some ways you can make your daughter feel more secure, and at the same time reduce or even eliminate tantrums.
1. Be sure that your daughter is not overtired when you return home. If you're going to be at the mall, the amusement park, a party or anywhere else where you know your daughter will have a good time, you'll want to try to leave before she gets tired. Children who have had too much stimulation or who are tired tend to lose control of themselves much easier than children who are well rested.
2. Be sure your daughter eats well when you are out. Limit sugary treats and encourage her to eat carrot sticks, nuts, raisins, unsweetened coconut, and fresh fruits and vegetables when you are out. Have some high quality protein available for her to much on too and be sure she's eating about every 2 hours, even if it's just a snack. Pure water will be important for her to drink as well. This will all help to keep her blood sugar levels even, so she doesn't have a dip. If the blood sugar dips, it's much harder for children to control themselves.
3. If you have done #1 and #2 above, you will have a well fed child who is not overtired when you return home. If she starts to throw a tantrum (and I'm guessing she will), you will want to be firm but gentle with her. I've found that using these words in a firm tone helps to stop a child from throwing a fit quickly. I say, "I will not let you act that way. That's not okay."
This immediately lets the child know that they are not in control - you are in control, and it feels safe to them to know that you will not let them act this way.
Then I say something like this, "You need to walk to the sink and wash your hands with soap, and then... " (give whatever direction you want her to do). You can think about this in the car on the way home. What are you going to have her do when she gets home. Will she go to the lu? Will she watch a video while you make dinner? Will she help you in the kitchen to make dinner? I would encourage you to spend as much time with her as possible, and incorporate her into most of what you do. If you need a little "down time", you can maybe have her look at books in her room for a couple of hours in the middle of the day, or take a nap. At 4 years of age, children can have some quiet time in their bedroom looking at books, playing with a doll, or doing something quietly while you get some time to yourself.
So you've told her you won't let her behave that way, and you've given her direction to stand up and walk to the sink to wash her hands. If she refuses, and throws herself on the floor, then you can pick her up and take her to her room.
Let her know that she can come out of her room when she stops throwing a fit and decides to put a smile on her face and be pleasant. You will need to stand by the door and reinforce your direction to her, if she tries to come out.
Once she stops throwing her fit and decides to be pleasant then you'll want to give her a hug and let her know that you love her. This is reinforcing the good behavior, and she would likely enjoy a hug from you more than a candy or movie time. Children crave affection and attention from their mums.
So in a sense, if you follow this pattern, you are correcting the poor behavior and rewarding the good behavior, and that's the best way to train a child.
Please post back with your thoughts on this or if you have any further questions. I hope this gives you some good ideas. If you are consistent in your training, you should see a big change in a week's time or less. Being a single mum is challenging, but it can be done well, and if your daughter is old enough to recognize that Daddy is no longer in the home, she will need your love, affection and firm boundaries even more.
Warm regards,

My Ride: 2006 Saab 9-3 Aero
****1995 SAAB 900S**** someone please buy!
$5,000 o.b.o.
Mileage: 120,xxx
Engine:150HP, 2.3 liter fuel-injected 4-cylinder
Transmission: 4 speed automatic with sport and winter modes
Cosmetic condition: very good
Mechanical condition: Excellent
Description: Saab 900 S in beautiful Citron Beige with light tan cloth interior. Through and through, this is an excellent and tight example of the breed.
Cosmetically, this car leaves little to find fault with. The metallic paint shines beautifully and waxes right up, and appears to be 100% original. The head and tail lights are clear and shiny, showing no cracking, fading or sun damage. There are very limited dings or scratches on the paint, and no rust to be found anywhere. The grill and trim are clean, complete, and show no wear or sun fading. There are no chips or stars in the windshield. Both mirrors are complete and undamaged. Very attractive alloy wheels, giving this car an attractive and sporty poise. The headlight wipers are a nice touch.
Inside is very clean, and free from any sun damage or wear to the seats. The dashboard looks like new, and the trim and center console shine nicely and look clean. There is no dirt or wear on the seats or carpet, and it's clear to see the previous owner took good care of this Saab. Not short on options, there are power windows, power locks, cruise control, a 4 speed automatic transmission with overdrive, intermittent wipers and rear glass defrost, rear wiper, remote/keyless entry, air conditioning and climate control, heated seats, a stock clarion headunit with AM/FM, cassette deck, courtesy lighting, and fold down rear seats for added storage. The ignition key is in the classic Saab position - between the seats. A driver information panel can display system messages in several different languages. Driver and passenger side airbags and full shoulder belts for all five passengers provide unparalleled safety. All the options appear to be working as they should, as do all gauges and indicators.
Mechanically, this Saab shows every sign of excellent health. It fires right up and idles smoothly and quietly, and goes down the road with very good power and control. Engine temperature remains normal at all operating speeds and traffic conditions, and the charging system keeps the battery at optimum level. The car stops perfectly and in a straight line with the safety of ABS. The transmission shifts well through all gears. This car is the "S" model, which added an upgraded motor with 150 horsepower - it's very peppy and a lot of fun to drive. There was no oil sludge in, on, or around the motor, leading us to believe this car had its fluids refreshed regularly. All of the belts and hoses are in very good condition.
The spare tire has been checked and aired, and all the jacking hardware is clean and stowed in its proper location. The hatchback area looks terrific and was obviously lightly used. An owner's manual and documentation is stored in an attractive leather pouch in the glove box. All in all, this is a very clean and good looking example of a practical and sporty breed of automobile. Parents have owned many Saabs, and this one has all the charming traits that made us a fan of the cars for many years. The interesting color and attractive interior add to the charm, and the build quality of these cars is very impressive - all the doors close with a solid and pleasing European "thud." If you are looking for a safe and practical car to use in any weather (Saabs have an exceptional reputation for stability in adverse conditions), this would make an excellent choice. If kept on a continuing schedule of proper maintenance, this car could deliver 250,000 or 300,000 miles or more of faithful driving without requiring major service. A very realiable car, great car for a kid just starting to drive.
There are aftermarket foglights (Hella Celis- Very bright) that will stay with the car and the car has strobe lights built into the front turn signal lenses. i have a set for the rear but they need to be installed and they DO come with the car, there is also a controller for the strobes. There is also a set of strobes in the front grill that DO work as of now and there is a seperate switch for them. Freshly waxed as of 8/17/06
If you need to contact me, please email me at: email@example.com or call my cell phone between 10am and 10pm. 636-795-0388
Will provide more pictures if requested.

Subject :
Roseville Police looking for clues in disappearance of local woman
Contact :
Dee Dee Gunther, Police Public Information Officer 916-774-5015/257-1942
Roseville Police detectives need the community's help finding a Roseville woman who went missing under mysterious circumstances.
Susan Jacobson, 59, of Sun City Roseville, was last seen by her husband Wednesday morning. She told him that she planned to go grocery shopping and run other errands at stores around town. Yesterday evening officers found Mrs. Jacobson's unoccupied dark blue Honda Civic in the Raley's parking lot at the corner of Pleasant Grove and Woodcreek Oaks Boulevards. It's unknown how long it had been parked there.
Mrs. Jacobson is a white female, 4'11" tall and about 90 pounds, with shoulder-length brown hair. She was last seen wearing a dark gray sweatshirt and light gray sweatpants, although she may have changed into different clothes before going out. Mrs. Jacobson doesn't normally socialize or spend much time away from her home, and these circumstances are unusual for her. Detectives are interested in talking to anyone who has seen her or talked to her over the past few days. Anyone with information is asked to call the Roseville Police Department's tip line at (916)774-5080.

Report: Kanye West reaches six-figure deal in office assault case
Listen to Kanye West on iHeartRadio
Kanye West will reportedly shell out more than $250,000 to a man he allegedly assaulted in a Beverly Hills chiropractor's office earlier this month.
Insiders tell TMZ.com that the rapper and the 18-year-old victim recently settled on the six-figure pay out. The two camps reportedly have been negotiating a settlement for more than a week.
Now that he's been paid off, the victim supposedly doesn't want authorities to press charges in the case. So far, the district attorney hasn't decided whether to prosecute the emcee, but without the victim's cooperation, the chances of a successful case are diminished.
The scuffle between Kanye and the 18-year-old reportedly began after the man yelled racial slurs at both Kanye and his girlfriend, reality TV star Kim Kardashian.

Residents in Wilmington are rallying to support the family of a 12-year-old boy who died accidentally at home earlier this week.
Fundraisers to collect money for Gregory Martinez's funeral expenses and to assist his parents and 12 siblings are scheduled throughout the weekend.
Gregory drowned while taking a bath Sunday, possibly after suffering an epileptic seizure. His grandmother found him and called paramedics. Gregory was pronounced dead at County Harbor-UCLA Medical Center.
Coroner's officials ruled Gregory's death an accident following an autopsy Thursday.
Gregory's aunt, Sandra Torres, said her nephew suffered from epilepsy but had not had an episode in about two years.
"When you talk about a kid who lived his life to the fullest, that was Gregory," Torres said. "He was the athlete of the family. He played baseball, sports. He was always coming over and playing with his cousins. You knew when Gregory was home and when he wasn't."
Gregory, one of 13 children ranging in age from 3 to 18, attended school at Wilmington Park Elementary and was a seventh-grader at Wilmington Middle School. He played football and baseball with the Wilmington-Carson Pilots.
Organizers with the youth sports league have scheduled a movie night fundraiser for 6 p.m. Friday at John Mendez baseball field at Opp Street and Banning Boulevard. A car wash and food sale is slated for 10 a.m. Saturday at the park.
A cookout including taco plates, teriyaki and hot dogs also will be held at 11 a.m. Sunday at Banning Park on M Street.
Friends have also established a fund to assist the family online at http://ow.ly/f6U8x
"It's wonderful to feel how the community can come together," Torres said.
Visitation is set for 5 to 8p.m. Nov. 15 at All Souls Mortuary in Long Beach.
Services are set for 10 a.m. Nov. 16 at Holy Family Church in Wilmington.

I'm serious.
If this is the best article you've read today so far, then I would encourage you to read more. Maybe try this one. That is just what I had open on my desktop, there are a lot more out there.
But who knows which one will be the best to read? That's a journey you'll have to take alone, my young apprentice.
You may have noticed—assuming that you at any point in the last three months had access to the Internet—that there's been an overwhelming surge of a certain type of article headline. The kind that makes whatever the article is talking about sound like it must be up there with finding a cure for all of the world's diseases.
Things like "You Won't Believe What Happened When This Person Did This Thing," or "This Thing That Happened Will Restore Your Faith In Humanity."
This type of enticing headline style is called "clickbait." It was recently made legendary by "good-news-spreading" site Upworthy, and has been copied ad nauseum everywhere else. Sometimes it starts to get a little annoying with so many grandiose claims and so much similar wording all over your Facebook newsfeed.
Steve Hind of The Guardian writes in his In Defence of Clickbait: "When readers are lured in, and rewarded for their curiosity by good content, everyone wins."
Sure. But what if online publishers set up promises on which they can't deliver?
"Well duh, then no one will share it," the readers respond.
And it's true, to some extent. In the Darwinian world of online traffic rankings, only the interesting survive. (Kanye tweets excepted.)
But there are still a couple of repercussions to this kind of model. The first, as you might expect, is that everything becomes impossible to gauge or even take seriously. We can't just give all of our online content participation trophy-headlines, or the same thing happens that we all felt in second-grade soccer—suddenly no one is special.
In the same way that repeated, unpoliced misuse of "your/you're" has made even grownups unsure of correct usage, overuse of hyperbole dumbs down the awesomeness of everything.
We're already reaching a point where having a "purely factual" headline is something only really super-respectable news sources, who already have an audience, can feel confident about. An un-established writer labeling something as "Some Thoughts I've Had" rather than "Something Everyone Needs to Know" is immediately dismissed. Because with all of The Most Important within our reach, why would we have time for anything else?
Another thing that irks me about this type of marketing is an assertion like "This Will Be The Best of This Type of Thing You'll See All Day."
Sure, there is some potential for really niche topics: a video titled "This Will Be The Best Video of A Llama Singing You See Today" will probably turn out to be accurate.
But did anyone tell these people about the Internet? I can actually go to this thing called YouTube and type in "llama singing" and find other results, which I might be inspired to do after seeing that first video that piqued my interest.
And finally, my biggest concern with clickbait is its tendency to try to predict or even mandate your reaction. Particularly lines like "You'll Never Guess" or "This Will Make You Cry."
Who are you, freelance Buzzfeed columnist, to tell me what I will or will not think or feel?
There is, of course, some implicit understanding that titles like this are just a recommendation of your most likely reaction, and meant merely to give you some kind of context for what type of thing you're about to read or see. It's better, I suppose, to be aware you're about to watch a heart-wrenching story, before everyone hears you sobbing in your cubicle.
But that doesn't keep lines like that from acting as the laugh tracks of the Internet. Sometimes appropriate, but sometimes painfully awkward and misplaced.
Which comes back to that issue of making promises.
Most of us grew up hearing stories like "The Boy Who Cried Wolf," and can't shake the feeling that there's something wrong with stringing your audience along. Even if they'll keep believing you every time.
Back when newspapers and magazines had to rely on physical subscriptions, there was no room for bait-and-switch marketing. People got what they paid for, because it was the same thing that they had already gotten to know and learned to trust.
And trust is something that marketing agencies have been trying to replicate for decades, but never mastered.
I grew up with a stellar ability to overdramatize my problems when it was convenient for me. (Think Ferris Bueller's Day Off.) There were numerous factors that led to my eventual reformation, but one of them was just having a couple of professors who wouldn't buy what I was selling. After the third "but I was so sick and busy and ran out of printer ink the day that paper was due!" they started calling me on it.
And perhaps it would be helpful to start calling these "best things ever" on their respective crap.
Am I saying that we should all boycott Upworthy? No. Stop reading Buzzfeed? Well, maybe.
But can you imagine what it must be like working at a site like that? Having to scour the world for "the BEST advice for twenty-somethings" and "the CUTEST cat picture EVER." That's a lot of unnecessary pressure, spawned from the success of clickbait.
Maybe we can start by presenting things with less ridiculous adjectives in our own sharing, and giving less-paraded things a chance. There's nothing wrong with reading another article aside from the best one. It can still be good.
I think one of the reasons I like listening to NPR is that they spend so little time on convincing you to care. They don't introduce a segment about Somalia with "This Story Will Bring You to Tears"…they just start talking about it. It's up to you, the listener, to engage with the content and react as you see fit.
What a concept.
Maybe we could be people who are thoughtful and humble in the way that we engage with media content and each other. Giving everything a fair shot, but valuing trustworthiness above flashiness.
Wouldn't that be just the BEST?

Now Foods MSM is tested to meet a minimum 99.7% purity level. Now Foods MSM is a natural compound, researched since 1979, that provides the chemical links needed to form and maintain numerous different types of tissues found in the human body, including connective tissue such as articular cartilage. While MSM found in Now Foods MSM is a natural component of almost all fresh fruits, vegetables, seafood and meat, food-processing methods reduce sulfur levels, making supplementation more important than ever. What is MSM?Methyl-sulfonyl-methane (MSM) is a naturally occurring sulfur compound found in our bodies as well as in many common beverages and foods, including milk, coffee, tea and green vegetables. In its purified chemical form, it is an odorless, essentially tasteless, white, water-soluble crystalline solid. It is one of the safest biological substances in biology. MSM contains 34% elemental sulfur, by weight. MSM is a non-animal-based nutritional supplement. Naturally occurring sulfur, such as that found in MSM, is not similar to inorganic sulfides, sulfites and sulfates to which many people are allergic. Also, people who are allergic to sulfur drugs will not normally react to MSM or dietary sulfur. Where does NOW Foods MSM powder come from?MSM is derived from an all-natural source of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) that originates in pine trees. MSM is produced by twice oxidizing DMS to form DMSO2, also known as MSM. Unlike DMS, MSM is very soluble in water. On earth, plants take MSM into their root systems and incorporate it into the plants' structure. I have been using NOW products for some time and actually was using MSM because of LINGUISIL being used in it. MY last purchase did not use this term. Has the ingredient changed?Lignisul MSM is no longer available, as the company that owned that trademark was dissolved and the trademark is no longer available for this use. We have removed the name from all of NOW's newer labels. Please note that our strict MSM specifications have not changed. The MSM we are using now is of equally high quality and comes from the same producer that made Lignisul. NOW's MissionThe NOW mission is - To provide value in products and services that empower people to lead healthier lives. NOW Foods is an award-winning and highly respected manufacturer of vitamins, minerals, dietary supplements and natural foods.In 1948, with the natural food and supplement industry in its infancy, entrepreneur Paul Richard paid $900 for the purchase of Fearn Soya Foods—a Chicago based manufacturer of grain and legume-based products. This began a six-decade legacy of providing health-seeking consumers with high-quality, affordable nutrition products. History of NOWIn 1968, NOW Foods was founded under the belief that good health was not a luxury available only to the wealthy. For the past forty years, NOW has made it their life's work to offer health food and nutritional supplements of the highest quality, at prices that are fair and affordable to all those who seek them. Today, NOW Foods is one of the top-selling brands in health foods stores, an award-winning manufacturer, a respected advocate of the natural product industry, and a leader in the fields of nutritional science and methods development. And while NOW has grown considerably over the past four decades, one thing has never changed – NOW's commitment to providing products and services that empower people to lead healthier lives.:" ":eeds of NOW customers. The decisions that NOW makes should be based on accurate information and therefore NOW places a high value on knowledge and learning within their organization. Quality and Value Oriented - Acting in the best interest of NOW customers, NOW endeavors to produce the highest quality products at competitive prices. NOW's first priority is to maintain quality where it counts the most – in the products. NOW's exceptional cost-conscious team of employees then focuses their energies on driving costs down. Nurturing this competency of value drives NOW's ability to provide high quality products at the very best prices. Natural is Better - NOW is convinced that natural products are better than their synthetic counterparts and produce better results in human health. Therefore, wherever possible, NOW strives to provide products that contain natural ingredients because they are better for their customers. NOW ScienceNOW's experienced professional and technical staff formulates their products to be of the highest quality. NOW has a group of biochemists, chemists, nutritionists, and food technologists who review current science and nutritional parameters, and formulate our products to be effective for the intended use. NOW's structure/function claims are based on science for active ingredients, and on nutritional science for nutritional content. Serving sizes are based on doses from clinical studies and other published data. NOW's contemporary formulas are designed to meet the health and wellness needs of today's consumers. NOW uses ingredients that have been tested for effectiveness in clinical trials and laboratory studies. The heart of NOW science is third party independent research. NOW investigates and review clinical studies and other lab studies conducted on their ingredients and their formulas. Best science is used to support best formulations which lead to best quality. NOW products are constantly being tested in clinical trials conducted at top universities and research centers around the country and in various parts of the world. NOW products are being tested to determine such things as effectiveness for joint support, quality of life for cancer patients, cardiovascular support, and athletic endurance. Effective products mean health and wellness benefits, which mean quality.GMP Quality AssuredNOW's GMP certification covers standard operating procedures, employee training, product specifications, expiration dating, vendor certifications and much more. Standard operating procedures include sampling and testing incoming materials according to NOW Foods specifications, inspecting manufacturing processes, and testing finished products to specifications. Tests include organoleptic evaluation (human senses such as sight, taste, smell), physical testing of tablets and capsules, chemical identity of ingredients, potency and contamination testing by the company's in-house state-of-the-art analytical testing lab, as well as microbiological testing by NOW Foods' in-house rapid analysis microbiological lab.
