• The Gaucho Record
UCSB enters Thursday's game at UC Riverside with an overall record of 11-5 and a Big West mark of 2-1. Since dropping their conference opener on Jan. 11 to Cal Poly, the Gauchos have won two games in a row. On Jan. 16 they bounced Long Beach State by a score of 64-51 and in their last game, Jan. 18, they won 79-69 at Cal State Northridge. Santa Barbara has won five of its last six and eight of its last 10 games.
• UCSB Equals 2012-13 Victory Total
In winning its 11th game of the regular season at Cal State Northridge on Jan. 18, the Gauchos have equaled their win total of last season. The injury-riddled 2012-13 campaign saw UCSB win just 11 games and lose 20.
• Bryson Earns Second Big West Player Of The Week Honor
Sophomore Michael Bryson earned his second Big West Player of the Week honor after helping UCSB to wins over Long Beach State and at Cal State Northridge. Bryson had 13 points, nine rebounds, two assists and a blocked shot against the 49ers on Jan. 16. On Jan. 18 at Northridge, he had 15 points, five boards, two steals, one assist and a block. Bryson made 6-of-8 shots in each of the games, going 12-for-16 on the week, and he also made four three-pointers in seven attempts, three of which came against the Matadors.
• Williams Becomes 26th Gaucho To Score 1,000 Points
Alan Williams battled foul trouble in UCSB's game at Cal State Northridge on Jan. 18, but he did score 16 points in his 24 minutes of work. Williams entered the game against the Matadors needing just 10 points to become the 26th Gaucho to eclipse the 1,000 point mark and he did so midway through the second half. Two baskets later, he passed B.J. Bunton (1,003) and moved into 25th-place on the all-time list. Barring injury, Williams should move past several former UCSB players in the coming games. His next targets are Paul Johnson (1,032) and Doug Muse (1,050).
• Possible Starters - Quick Fact
G 3 Zalmico Harmon - Had a season-low one assist in the win at Northridge but he remains the conference leader at 5.1 per game.
G 35 Taran Brown- Scored 12 points at Northridge, his highest total since he also had 12 on Dec. 19 vs. Troy.
F 21 Mitch Brewe - Although he was scoreless vs. Northridge, he had a team-high eight rebounds...Scored career-high 12 vs. LBSU on 1/16.
F 15 Alan Williams - Became the 26th UCSB player to score 1,000 points in his career when he had 16 at Northridge.
G 24 Michael Bryson - Big West Player of the Week made 12-of-16 shots in two games last week, 75.0%.
• Probable Reserves - Quick Fact
G 1 Eric Childress - Tied career-high with eight field goal attempts at Northridge and had two baskets in game-deciding 13-0 second half run.
G 4 Aamahd Walker - Missed the last three games with a sprained ankle and is questionable for Thursday's game at UC Riverside.
G 10 Kyle Boswell - Made at least one three in all 16 games and has 189 in his career...Needs two three-pointers to move into fifth all-time.
F 31 John Green - Injury to left foot has him sideline, most likely, until late January or early February.
F 34 Shawn Moore - Played just one minute at Northridge before injuring his right shoulder...Will not play this weekend.
F 44 Sam Beeler - Had a major impact on win at Northirdge where he made all four of his shots and scored 10 points.
• The Opposition
UCSB and UC Riverside have met 33 times in a series that began in 1955. The Gauchos and Highlanders split a pair of games last season with each team winning on its own floor. UCR won its home game 54-45 while Santa Barbara won at the Thunderdome, 56-46. Riverside has won its last two home games in the series. The Gauchos and Cal State Fullerton have played 76 times with UCSB holding a 41-35 edge. Last season, each team won on its home court. The Titans won 86-79 in Fullerton and the Gauchos won 66-50 at the Thunderdome. UCSB has lost three straight games at Titan Gym, last having won in 2010 and that victory came in overtime.
• The Gauchos On The Road
The Gauchos are 4-3 in true road games this season and 6-3 overall in games away from home. They have won their last three games away from the Thunderdome, defeating Western Illinois at Logan, Utah on Dec. 21, Seattle on the road on Dec. 30 and then Cal State Northridge on Jan. 18. The six wins away from home are three more than UCSB won all of last season and the four true road wins are one more.
• Gaucho-Titan Game Air On Fox Sports Prime Ticket
UCSB's game at Cal State Fullerton on Saturday will be carried live on Fox Sports Prime Ticket. The game, originally scheduled for 7:00 p.m., was moved to 7:30 p.m. to accommodate the broadcast. The broadcasters for the game will be Paul Sunderland and Michael Cage.
• You Can Call Him The Dean
2013-14 is Bob Williams' 16th season at the helm of the UCSB basketball program, equaling the longest tenure of any coach in program history and the longest of any current Division I coach west of the Mississippi. Willie Wilton guided the Gauchos from 1937-43, 1946-51 and 1952-57, a total of 16 seasons. He shares the same 16-year tenure as Utah State's Stew Morrill and Rick Barnes of Texas.
• Boswell Is Senior CLASS Award Finalist
Kyle Boswell is a top-30 finalist for the NCAA Senior CLASS Award. Boswell, the Gauchos' second leading scorer for each of the past two seasons, was Big West Sixth Man of the Year and Honorable Mention All-Big West last season. He is UCSB's team captain, takes part in numerous charitable efforts and possesses a 3.81 grade point average as a mechanical engineering major.
• Milestone Watch
Junior Alan Williams eclipsed 600 rebounds in the Gauchos' Dec. 30 win at Seattle, becoming just the 11th player in school history to do so. On Saturday at Cal State Northridge, he passed John Tschogl and moved into eighth all-time with 649. With 16 more boards, Williams will shoot past two more players and move into sixth all-time. With 137 blocked shots, Williams is fourth in school history and needs 18 to move past Doug Muse into third. He also needs 45 points to move from 25th to 23rd on the all-time list. Senior Kyle Boswell has made 46 three-pointers this season and now has 189 in his career. He needs just eight to move into third on UCSB's all-time list. Also, Boswell needs 146 points to surpass 1,000 in his career.
• A Magic Number
UCSB has allowed fewer than 70 points 10 times in 2013-14 and has gone 10-0 in those games. Last weekend, the Gauchos held both of their opponents under 70. On Thursday vs. Long Beach State, they allowed 51 points, the second lowest opponent total of the season. and on Saturday they limited Cal State Northridge to 69. On Dec. 30 at Seattle, UCSB allowed exactly 70 points and won. It was the only time they have won a game when allowing 70 or more, losing the other five.
• Playing The Percentages
UCSB's had its biggest field goal differential vs. an opponent on Jan. 16 when it made 50.9% from the floor and limited Long Beach State to 29.9%, a difference of 21.0%. The 29.9% by the 49ers was the lowest opponent field goal percentage of the season. On Jan. 18, the Gauchos shot 51.9% and held Northridge to 37.0%. It was the eighth time that an opponent shot below 40.0% for the season and it was the ninth time they were over 50.0% on the offensive end. In 2012-13, UCSB shot 50.0% or better in a game just twice.
• Balancing Act
The Gauchos' Jan. 18 win at Cal State Northridge was truly a balancing act. For the first time this season UCSB had five players score in double-figures. Alan Williams led the way with 16, but he was closely followed by Michael Bryson (15) and Kyle Boswell (14). In addition, Taran Brown (12) and Sam Beeler (10) reached double-digits. The Gauchos have had four players score 10 or more in a game four times this season.
• Turnover Turnaround
One game after posting a season-high 19 turnovers in a win over Long Beach State, UCSB bounced back with a solid nine turnover performance at Cal State Northridge. In the game against the 49ers, the Gauchos had 12 turnovers in the first half, more than they've had in 10 games this season. UCSB has had 10 or fewer turnovers nine times in 2013-14 after turning the trick just twice during the 2012-13 campaign.
• Marginalizing
UCSB has been involved in a number of one-sided games this season and, in fact, has been on the winning side of most. The Gauchos have been involved in nine games that were decided by 10 or more points and they have a record of 8-1 in those games. The only time that Santa Barbara has lost a game by a double-digit margin was on Dec. 3 at UCLA when the Bruins recorded an 89-76 victory. UCSB has had three victory margins of 20 or more and two others of 15 or more in 2013-14, including a resounding 86-65 win at UNLV on Nov. 12.
• The Other Williams
Junior forward Alan Williams leads the Big West Conference in scoring at 22.8 points per game and rebounding at 11.0 per game. He is second in blocked shots at 2.4 per contest. Williams' scoring average ranks him fifth in the nation while his rebounding averaged is sixth. In the Gauchos' game at Cal State Northridge on Jan. 18, he had 16 points, six rebounds and a pair of blocked shots. In the game, he became the 26th UCSB player to score 1,000 points and now ranks 25th with 1,006. Williams was limited to 24 minutes against the Matadors because of foul trouble and his streak of three straight double-doubles came to an end. On the season, he has seven double-doubles. To start Big West play, he had 33 points and 15 rebounds vs. Cal Poly and then 12 points and 15 boards vs. Long Beach State. The 33 points that Williams scored against Cal Poly were the second most he has scored in his career. On Nov. 29 he set a career-high and tied the school record for points in a game when he poured in 39 against South Dakota State. Williams tied a record also held by Orlando Johnson (currently with the Indiana Pacers) and Scott Fisher (currently an assistant coach at Hawaii). in that same game, he tied Greg Somogyi's school record with eight blocked shots. The game against the Mustangs also marked the second time in his career that he had at least 30 points and 15 rebounds in a game. Last season, he had 32 points and 16 rebounds in a win at Cal State Northridge and in doing so, he became the first Gaucho since 1990 to produce such a game. A three-time Big West Player of the Week this season, Williams has scored 20 or more points in 10 of his 14 games. He is the only Gaucho player to score in double-figures in every game he has played this year. In addition to his three Big West Player of the Week awards this season, he earned the honor twice last year when he was also a First Team All-Big West selection. Williams had 27 points and 17 rebounds in the regular season opener against Hawaii-Pacific. The 27 points were the most scored by a Gaucho in a season-opener since 2007 and the rebounds were a record for a UCSB player in a season-opener. He followed that game up with a 21 point, nine rebound, three blocked shot performance against UNLV and Khem Birch, the 2013 Mountain West Conference Defensive Player of the Year. He has eclipsed the 600 rebound barrier and with 649 needs just 16 to move into sixth-place all-time. When he gets 51 more boards, he will become just the sixth player in school history to score 1,000 or more points and grab 700 or more rebounds. Williams was named Preseason All-Big West by the league's media and virtually every publication, he was selected to the Lou Henson Preseason Mid-Major All-American Team and CollegeSportsMadness.com selected him Big West Player of the Year.
• He's The Bos
Kyle Boswell, the reigning Big West Sixth Man of the Year, started the first five games of this season and averaged 9.6 points per game over that span. Boswell has come off the bench in the last 11 games, averaging 13.0 per game. Overall, he is averaging 11.9 points per game. In the win at Cal State Northridge, Boswell had 14 points and a career-high eight assists. He also set season-highs in free throws with nine and free throw attempts with 10.

In December he was named to the Basketball Travelers Classic All-Tournament team as the Gauchos won two out of three games. In the second game of the tourney, he tied career-highs with 27 points and seven three-point baskets in an overtime loss to Utah State. Boswell has 189 career three-point baskets, sixth all-time. He needs just eight to move into third and his career percentage of 43.3% ranks second in UCSB history. Also, he is the only Gaucho to make at least one three in all 16 games and he's made two or more 12 times, three or more seven times and five or more four times.

• The Life Of Bryson
Michael Bryson was named Big West Player of the Week for the second time this season after averaging 14.5 points and 7.0 rebounds per game in wins over Long Beach State and Cal State Northridge. Bryson went 12-of-16 from the field in the two games and he was 4-of-7 from three-point territory. He is now averaging 10.6 points and 4.4 rebounds per game and seems to have bounced back from a four-game slump that he suffered through after missing the Dec. 20 game at Utah State with a sore back.

The three he made at Cal State Northridge were the most he has hit since he made five at San Diego on Dec. 15.

On Dec. 3 at UCLA, Bryson collected the first double-double of his career with 15 points and 10 rebounds. He also set a career-high with five assists against the Bruins. Last year, in the season finale against Pacific at the Big West Tournament, Bryson made seven three-point baskets and scored 29 points. The scoring total was a new record for a freshman and the seven three-pointers tied the UCSB freshman record.

Other: WIRIS quizzes for Math & science
WIRIS quizzes is a set of question types for Moodle that enhances the questionnaire systems with functionalities related to mathematics and science.
WIRIS quizzes improves every existing question type: True/False, Multiple choice, Matching, Short answer, Essay, Embedded answers (Cloze)... To sum up, every question type you may come across. You can create sophisticated and random math questions with very little effort.
All mathematical items are generated in a single calculation section and they can be referenced from anywhere in the content, question wording, answer, feedback for the student, etc.
On the side of the student, he will be able to introduce his answers by using a WYSIWYG formula editor and, if the teacher so specifies, they will have access to a WIRIS cas session to make some calculations. The answer syntax check will prevent the students from unnecessary errors and misspellings.
WIRIS tools can be used for free up to a certain level of use per natural year. Please read license conditions and prices at WIRIS store.
For installation, follow the instructions described at wiris.com!
- Fri, 10 Apr 2015, 9:19 PMDear Helson,
WIRIS tools are commercial tools. We offer them for FREE under certain conditons.
Please check them at www.wiris.com/store/
- Mon, 20 Apr 2015, 11:34 PMHi all,
I've just installed the editor plugin, the filter and the quizzes (last version from today zips from official website -not from moodle.org).
I've found a couple of issues:
1. There is a test from quizzes that does not pass (those last two related to "Extra tests", "mod_security1" and "mod_security2". I think it is only related to the mod_security module for the web server. Is it actually insecure to put all them in production if these 2 tests fail?
2. There is a wrong link. From admin/settings.php?section=qtypesettingwq settings page, the link up to "WIRIS filter settings" is admin/settings.php?section=filtersettingwiris, but should be admin/settings.php?section=filtersettingfilterwiris
Thanks in advance!
I read something about cron. Which cron do we need to place running? I didn't found documentation about it.
Thanks in advance!!!
- Tue, 21 Apr 2015, 6:15 PM@Jordi
Regarding to your questions:
1.- There is no problem to put on production WIRIS quizzes if "mod_security" test fails. These tests checks that "<>" and "><" expressions can be sent by a get request. Under certain circumstances, WIRIS quizzes could fail if these expression can't be sent but, in any case, is a security issue. Seems that test info is a bit confusing so we will change that on our next release.
2.- Checking the filter settings link we notice that fails on Moodle 2.4. In the next release these issue will be fixed.
3.- WIRIS quizzes, as Moodle itself, needs a cron process on your server. If you have a cron process in it, you don't have to do anything specific. You can find more info about cron process on Moodle here: https://docs.moodle.org/28/en/Cron
Thanks for your feedback.
- Sat, 23 May 2015, 2:14 AMHi,
Wiris question types require use Java browser applets and require JRE to be installed on users' computers/devices. This is either impractical or impossible in many cases. So now I need to uninstall them from Moodle 2.9. I've found old instructions for Moodle 1.9 on how to do this but not for Moodle 2.x. Additionally, I've been through all the Site administration settings trying to find a way to make the question types uninstallable. I've managed to uninstall a couple of them but the rest remain and do not have working uninstall links.
Obviously, if I just delete the WIRIS directories and their contents from /moodle/question/type/ Moodle will continually return "Missing from disc!" errors in administration pages, which is unacceptable.
Can you please provide comprehensive uninstall instructions for Moodle 2.9 for ALL the WIRIS plugins, including which Moodle core files have been altered and which database tables have been created? Thank you in advance.
- Mon, 25 May 2015, 6:52 PM@Matt
WIRIS quizzes question types can be uninstalled just like any other Moodle question type: deleting associated questions first and uninstall question types later.
Detailed uninstall instructions can be found here: http://www.
If you are still having problems, please feel free to contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com
- Wed, 10 Jun 2015, 2:42 AMHi,
The link you've provided leads me to a login page. http://www.wiris.com/en/quizzes/docs/moodle/install/uninstall This probably explains why I couldn't find the Moodle 2.x uninstall instructions via web searches (Only the old Moodle 1.9 version). Can you please provide a link to a publicly accessible version of the uninstall instructions?
All I want to do is get rid of the unwanted WIRIS plugins and database entries, nothing else.
- Wed, 10 Jun 2015, 10:39 PM@Matt
Sorry for the inconveniences. Uninstall instructions are now public.
If you are still having problems, please feel free to contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com
- Thu, 23 Jul 2015, 5:51 PMHi everybody,
I think there is a litte error into the zip file preventing installation ... the "mother folder" into the zip file is "types" but in the moodle tree (...moodle/question/type) is type; I changed "types" in "type" and installatation was succesful. Hope this info is useful.
- Thu, 23 Jul 2015, 8:37 PM@Ricardo We changed the name from types to type on purpose inside the zip package to prevent replacing the whole Moodle's type directory accidentally.

"Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal... came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel today, who uncovered himself today in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself! And David said unto Michal, It was before the Lord, which chose... to appoint me ruler... over Israel: therefore will I play before the Lord. ." 2 Samuel 6:20-22
Suggested Further Reading: 1 Peter 3:1-7
It is a happy thing when we are enabled to rejoice together in our family relationships; when husband and wife help each other on the path to heaven. There can be no happier position than that of the Christian man who finds, in every holy wish he has for God, a helper; who finds that often she outstrips him; that when he would do something, she suggests something more; when he would serve his Master there is a hint given that more yet might be done, and no obstacle put in the way, but every assistance rendered. Happy is that man and blessed is he. He has received a treasure from God, the like of which could not be bought for diamonds. That man is blessed of the Most High; he is heaven's favourite, and he may rejoice in the special favour of his God. But when it is the other way, and I know it is the case with some of you, then it is a sore trial indeed. Perhaps, though a careful, cautious, prudent, and excellent worldly woman, she cannot see with you in the things which you love in the kingdom of God, and when you have done something which in the excess of your zeal seems to be but little, she thinks it inordinate and extravagant. "Oh," says she, "do you go and mix with these people? Does King David go and wear a linen ephod like a peasant? Do you go and sit down with that rabble? You? You can stand up for your dignity—put 'esquire' after your name, and yet walk in the street with any beggar that likes to call himself a Christian. You," says she, "you that are so cautious in everything else, you seem to have lost your head when you think about your religion."
For meditation: Those close to the Lord Jesus Christ, his friends and family, could not understand him (Mark 3:21; John 7:5) but God worked in their lives (Acts 1:14; 1 Corinthians 9:5). Don't despair of your loved ones who seem so far from God (1 Corinthians 7:16).
Sermon no. 321

I have two of these packs to open, so on Twitter I asked for someone to pick which one it should be. The cellophane on the back allowed me to see that one pack's last card was Vicente Palacios and the other's was Dale Murphy. They went with the Murphy.
Let's tear in.
555 Mike Devereaux (Here's an interesting concept for a blog: All cards numbered 555, call it the Generic Sitcom Phone Number Card Blog. Too wordy, yes, but someone could make it work.)
314 Pedo Guerrero (Ha, he has a dirty cartoon from a Penthouse mag taped to the inside of his cap.)
506 Roger McDowell (Holy shit, that Mets fan kid with the world's skinniest arms is about to give Roger the old one-two for switching to the Phills.)

Draw sends England into semi-finals
England advanced to the Women's Rugby World Cup semi-finals on Saturday afternoon following a nail-biting 13-13 draw against Canada in Marcoussis.
Captain Sarah Hunter scored England's only try, midway through the second half, with centre Emily Scarratt converting and adding two penalties.
The result meant defending champions New Zealand could not now reach the last four, while Canada were left to wait on other results going their way.
Sarah Hunter scored England's only try of the match
An early Scarratt penalty had put Gary Street's side 3-0 up, but Canada hit back and, after a spell of sustained pressure, flanker Karen Paquin barged her way over the line from a well-worked driving maul.
Both sides had chances as the half progressed, most notably England when Ceri Large twice put through good kicks. But Danielle Waterman knocked on just short of the line and then Kat Merchant did likewise in the tackle over the line.
A second Scarratt penalty on the stroke of half-time restored England's lead, however, and they went in 6-5 to the good.
Canada started the second 40 with real intent and put pressure on the English defence, which told after 46 minutes when replacement Kayla Mack pushed her way over to make it 10-6.
England finally touched down for their only try after a spell deep in the Canada 22. After a strong scrum, Hunter was on hand at the base to dot down, and Scarratt's conversion made it 13-10.
Canada wing Magali Harvey slotted home a penalty to make it 13-13 with seven minutes to go but, as the clock ticked past 80, England knew a draw would be enough and scrum-half Natasha Hunt found touch to bring the game to a close.
Hunter said: "It was physical and competitive. We knew that Canada would front up and they definitely brought their game to us.
"We know that we've been in a battle and it was a great game to be involved in. We're delighted to get out of the pool - that's what it was always about.
"We know that we are going to have to improve on today's performance, but we have a few days now and we'll look to recover and switch focus on to the next one."

Join me every week for Win-It Wednesday, with 24-hour giveaways just for you!
Planning to bake up some treats for Valentine's Day? I know I am — I picked up the cutest cupcake cake pan at Walmart last night, and I'm itching to try it out.
Anyhow, if you need a little inspiration, Crisco is launching a new online resource called Cookie Central which is perfect for those of us who love to bake and decorate our dessert creations! Not only does Cookie Central offer tons of tasty recipes, but it also provides a wealth of tips and videos, as well as some cookie gifting suggestions.

- Beat an egg yolk with food coloring and let your kids paint designs or faces on cookies.
- Let your kids use raisins to create faces on gingerbread cookies. Or they can use sliced almonds to create wings for angels.
- Buy a selection of small candies, like cinnamon drops and miniature candy-coated chocolate pieces, and let the kids decorate before the cookies are baked.
There are even more suggestions for decorating cookies after they're baked!
To inspire you to share your favorite Crisco Cookie Central recipes this Valentine's Day, Crisco is offering a giveaway to equip you with everything you need to wow your loved ones with sugary treats, including measuring cups and spoons, a baking sheet, a cookie dough scoop, a silicone cookie spatula and a jar of cookie cutters.

MADRID — Pope Benedict XVI's trip to Spain did focus on young people, including young religious women, but it wasn't an exclusive focus.
Yesterday afternoon Pope Benedict met briefly with Cistercian Sister Teresita, who just turned 104. But what is even more interesting, she entered the Cistercian cloister on the very day Joseph Ratzinger, the pope, was born: April 16, 1927. With the exception of a few hours during Spain's Civil War in the 1930s, Sister Teresita has spent the last 84 years inside the convent at Buenafuente del Sistal.
Jesuit Father Federico Lombardi, Vatican spokesman, told reporters that also present at the meeting was a younger consecrated woman, a sister of the Sacred Heart, who retired back to Spain after working with then-Cardinal Ratzinger at the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. He did not give her name.
On another note, Father Lombardi also spoke a bit about what happened last night, during the storm that hit Cuatro Vientos airfield just after the pope arrived.
He said the pope "was very decisive" about remaining with the young people and leading them in Eucharistic adoration even when the sound system failed. Father Lombardi said Msgr. Guido Marini, papal master of ceremonies, went to the pope several times and suggested that the evening be cut short. The pope decided not to read the bulk of the speech he prepared, but he said, "No," to the idea of leaving.
While the pope was waiting for the worst of the storm to pass and for the sound system to come back on, firefighters lowered a big screen on the altar platform because it was a danger in the wind, Father Lombardi said. But other than that, he said, the pope was safe the whole time.
Father Lombardi also asked people to read the full text of the speech the pope had prepared and "take it as if it were delivered," especially because the vigil was the World Youth Day appointment where the pope planned to speak about the importance of the vocation of marriage.
Here is the Vatican translation of that section of the prepared text:
During this prayer vigil, I urge you to ask God to help you find your vocation in society and in the Church, and to persevere in that vocation with joy and fidelity. It is a good thing to open our hearts to Christ's call and to follow with courage and generosity the path he maps out for us.
The Lord calls many people to marriage, in which a man and a woman, in becoming one flesh (cf. Gen 2:24), find fulfillment in a profound life of communion. It is a prospect that is both bright and demanding. It is a project for true love which is daily renewed and deepened by sharing joys and sorrows, one marked by complete self-giving. For this reason, to acknowledge the beauty and goodness of marriage is to realize that only a setting of fidelity and indissolubility, along with openness to God's gift of life, is adequate to the grandeur and dignity of marital love.
Christ calls others to follow him more closely in the priesthood or in consecrated life. It is hard to put into words the happiness you feel when you know that Jesus seeks you, trusts in you, and with his unmistakable voice also says to you: "Follow me!" (cf. Mk 2:14).
Dear young people, if you wish to discover and to live faithfully the form of life to which the Lord is calling each of you, you must remain in his love as his friends. And how do we preserve friendship except through frequent contact, conversation, being together in good times and bad? Saint Teresa of Jesus used to say that prayer is just such "friendly contact, often spending time alone with the one who we know loves us" (cf. Autobiography, 8).

Create a Fab Space with Prefab YardPods
When it comes to DIY prefab, it's often difficult to find clean, modern design with sustainable materials all in one simple package. But San Francisco-based YardPods combines both features in a tidy little 120-square-foot (or less) footprint.
Officially launched in late 2009, YardPods is the brainchild of Malcolm Davies, former CEO of both Michelle Kaufmann Designs and Gehry Technologies (a Frank Gehry company), and Marvin Mauer, former CEO of HousePlans.com. Needless to say, they know a thing or two about building efficient and attractive homes.
YardPods designs, manufactures, delivers, and installs prefabricated "sheds" ranging in size from 8x8 to 10x12. But they are far from being the utilitarian sheds normally banished to the back of your yard. These well-finished freestanding rooms are inviting enough to be used as an office, artist studio, guest bedroom, play room, gym, or backyard retreat. Since they're so small, they usually won't require a building permit, though you'll want to check your specific city codes first.
YardPods utilize durable, eco-friendly materials in their construction, such as recycled steel framing, FSC-certified plywood, recycled cotton fiber insulation, double low-E glass manufactured locally in the San Francisco Bay Area, and bamboo or cork flooring. True to their commitment to the highest standards of sustainability, the structures are prefabbed in a solar-powered manufacturing plant in Sonoma Mountain Village, the first zero-waste, One Planet Community in North America.
For the enthusiastic DIYer, a 10x12 bare-bones YardPod runs about $2,100. If you prefer a turnkey space, a professionally finished, delivered and assembled YardPod starts at $16,500. Currently, a completed YardPod can only be delivered and assembled within Northern California; however the DIY kit can be shipped anywhere in the USA.
For more information on pricing and design options, click here to visit the YardPods site.

Today the eBay app for Android is getting an update to version 2.2, bringing both visual and functional changes. The Home, Cart, and Checkout areas of the app have received a new look. Users in the US and UK get a Shopping Cart that will synchronize across all devices that use eBay -- the items to your cart on one device will be reflected when the cart is viewed anywhere else. Checking out with cart items becomes easier, with the option to pay for multiple items at the same time using a single checkout. eBay's item search was updated to feature inline search suggestions, autocorrect, and expanded international results when few to no results are returned.
The app is live in the Play Store for those wanting to update; new users can follow the Play Store link above. We hope this update was more thoroughly tested than the previous one, and won't be recalled in the next few days.

HOUSTON, TX (Sept. 18, 2012) – No city, town or village was too small to escape the diabolical schemes of the Nazis to annihilate the Jewish people and the whole infrastructure that had supported them. Six million Jews perished, but 20,000 Jewish communities also were destroyed.
Survivor Riki Roussos with the marker honoring her original home in the Jewish community of Sarajevo, Yugoslavia, dedicated in 2007.
Ceremonies will begin at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 14, 2012, outside the Museum's Morgan Family Center, 5401 Caroline St., in Houston's Museum District. Admission is free and open to the public. Visit http://www.hmh.org/RegisterEvent.aspx to RSVP online.
To be considered a "destroyed community," a community must have had organized Jewish life in pre-Holocaust Europe, such as a synagogue or house of prayer; a Jewish school; a Jewish cultural establishment; a Kahal (an autonomous body regulating Jewish life); a shochet (kosher butcher); or just the presence of a known Jewish scholar, itinerant rabbi, cantor or teacher of Jewish studies, according to Holocaust survivor Edith Mincberg and co-chair of the project for Holocaust Museum Houston.
"There was a whole way of thriving Jewish life before this senseless destruction. Here, locally, we focus on Houston-area Holocaust survivors' destroyed communities, with more than 300 of them being added to the slope outside our building. It is important that we learn about them, remember them and spread the awareness of their prior existence so we can leave this legacy for our descendants," she said.
"By leaving this legacy for future generations, this slope of destroyed communities will be a constant reminder of the enormity of the deep, irreplaceable loss and an enduring educational tool explaining that unbridled human hate can lead to murder and destruction of other human beings," Mincberg said.
"It is vital to know about the history, culture, activities of Jewish life in these towns, because that is the only way one can truly understand what was lost, the true extent of the tragedy perpetrated on the world by the Nazis. The synagogues, schools, orchestras, theaters, newspapers, businesses – everything that made the lives of the Jews so vibrant, so fulfilling – were destroyed. These stones will serve as a reminder not only of the 6 million Jews who were murdered, but also the beautiful Jewish communities that the victims had created, that had thrived for hundreds of years. These stones will help personalize the tragedy by showing how the Jews were murdered, town by town by town by town," added Ellen Trachtenberg, another co-chair of the effort and a founding member of the Museum.
The "Destroyed Communities" project began even before the opening of the Museum in March 1996. Over the years, the names of more than 35 communities that once were home to Houston area-survivors but where all traces of Jewish culture were obliterated have been engraved on large stones on the exterior slope of the Museum's main building at 5401 Caroline St.
The Museum has sought to complete the project for years, but the etched concrete stones are expensive to construct, engrave and install.
That's when volunteer and son of Holocaust survivors Hyman Penn and his family stepped in to honor his own parents and grandmother, offering to finish the project in memory of Houston-area survivors Linda and Morris I. Penn and grandmother Riva Kremer. The gift is being given by Lynn Gordon and Hyman Penn; Pam and Robert Penn, Jordan and Jamie; and Cynthia and Barry Weinberger, Melanie and Lauren.
"The Destroyed Communities memorial will remember the cities, towns and villages of our own Houston survivors, including my parents and grandmother," Hyman Penn said. "This memorial will be the first thing visitors see when they come to the Museum, setting the tone for their visit."
Kremer was born Aug. 12, 1906, and spent much of her early life in Grodno, Poland, where her husband ran a dry cleaning business. When the Nazis overran Grodno in the summer of 1941, Kremer – then 36 – was sent to Treblinka, one of the most notorious Nazi death camps. Her husband and son were immediately sent to the gas chambers, but Kremer and her daughter, Linda, were pulled aside and survived.
Kremer and her daughter were sent as slave laborers to the camp of Majdanek, where they sorted clothing and other belongings stripped from Jewish victims. After Majdanek, they endured horrific conditions at camps at Trawniki, Bergen-Belsen and Auschwitz. After escaping near death in camps throughout Poland and Germany, Kremer and her daughter were sent to Theresienstadt, a ghetto and transit camp in Czechoslovakia. Allied troops liberated them on May 8, 1945.
Morris Penn was born in Lithuania, where the Jewish population built a vibrant cultural and religious life before World War II. When Germany overran Lithuania in the summer of 1941, he and his family were captured but later fled into hiding. His mother and sister were betrayed and murdered in 1942. He and his brother survived in hiding and eventually made it to Houston in 1949. In December 1951, Morris married Linda Kremer, whom he had met in displaced persons camp in Austria.
The Penn family will be on hand for the October ceremonies, as will Trachtenberg and Mincberg. Other participants will include Museum Chair Tali Blumrosen, survivor Ben Waserman, second-generation member Tobi Cooper, third-generation member David Hassid and members of the fourth generation of survivors. Rabbi Scott Hausman-Weiss of Congregation Emanu El will lead the invocation, and Hazzan David Propis of Congregation Beth Yeshurun will provide music selections.
Holocaust Museum Houston is dedicated to educating people about the Holocaust, remembering the 6 million Jews and other innocent victims and honoring the survivors' legacy. Using the lessons of the Holocaust and other genocides, the Museum teaches the dangers of hatred, prejudice and apathy.
Holocaust Museum Houston's Morgan Family Center is free and open to the public and is located in Houston's Museum District at 5401 Caroline St., Houston, TX 77004. For more information about the Museum, call 713-942-8000 or visit www.hmh.org.

Green Day Plot Two Documentaries and 'Oh Love' Single Release
If you think Green Day have been busy just by the wealth of music coming your way over the next six months, you'd be correct. But also putting in the hours of late have been the filmmakers behind a pair of documentaries that are expected to be released in coordination with the band's upcoming album trilogy.
Billboard reports that Tim Lynch, who produced the band's 'Green Day: Bullet in a Bible' film, and Tim Wheeler, a co-producer on the White Stripes' 'Under Great White Northern Lights,' have been working together to shoot a film about the '¡Uno!,' '¡Dos!' and '¡Tre!' discs. In addition, there's a second film that's being compiled from vintage footage of the group's pre-'Dookie' era days.
Singer Billie Joe Armstrong says, "It's not going to be the sitting down, head shot of me going, 'We started out blah blah blah!' We wanted to get into the lifestyles of rock 'n' roll and playing rock 'n' roll and letting the story kind of tell itself rather than create revisionist [history]."
The filmmakers are also heading into the rehearsal space with the band as they prepare for their upcoming Japanese and European tours. A Warner Bros. spokesperson told Billboard that the hope is that the film will be ready early next year with the potential to premiere at Sundance.
Meanwhile, in other Green Day news, we're about to get our first official taste of new music. The single 'Oh Love' has now been confirmed to premiere this coming Monday (June 16) at 6:00AM PT/9:00AM ET at GreenDay.com. That same day, pre-orders for all three albums will be made available. '¡Uno!,' '¡Dos!' and '¡Tre!' and due Sept. 25, Nov. 13, and Jan. 15 respectively.

Re: calling the moderators
minty i would imagine it was locked due to toyota's antics so that it wouldn't descend into another bitch fest. if toyota wanted to try and be funny which he wasn't he was merely being vindictive and trying to derail a thread not by discussing a point but merely by insulting another board member. Says more about him than the topic of the thread really. but at end of the day the mods are only doing their job a thankless one at that.

Tesla Motors "founder" Elon Musk has a propensity for boasting about his electric car business, but the company's latest SEC filing shares the risks he doesn't like to talk about, including having the Roadster's advertised range cut 30%.
Musk, now the CEO of a publicly traded company, has turned doubt about Tesla's viability into a badge of honor, telling critics earlier this month: "Accept the possibility that every now and again there's going to be an exception to the rule. In this case, it's Tesla."
Since Tesla went public in June, raising $226 million, it now has to provide investors with a detailed look inside its business roughly every three months, via filings to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The most recent one arrived late Friday, with 30,000 words about ways Tesla could stumble or collapse. We've distilled them down to 10 big hurdles:
1. Tesla's best guess at how the Environmental Protection Agency will set mileage rules for electric vehicles might reduce the Roadster's touted 245-mile range and its 300-mile promise for the Model S sedan by "up to 30%."
2. It won't start building the Model S until mid-2012, while the current generation Tesla Roadster production ends in December 2011, leaving the company with little revenue just as it makes its biggest financial gamble.
3. To tide itself over, Tesla has arranged with Lotus to buy 2,400 "gliders" - Roadster bodies minus the Tesla driving gear - which it hopes to sell while cranking on the Model S through 2012.
3. There are only 130 prepaid orders for Roadsters not yet built as of June 30.
4. The 2,400 is a minimum; if Tesla can't sell them, it still owes Lotus.
5. If it needs more, it has to go back to Lotus with more money, and Lotus might have moved on by then.
6. Tesla has 2,600 deposits for the Model S worth $23 million. All such deposits are fully refundable.
7. There is one drivable prototype of the Model S, but final design/tooling/engineering isn't done.
9. Tesla has 24 months' worth of cash thanks to the IPO, Toyota's $50 million investment and the U.S. Department of Energy's $465 million loan - assuming the Model S launch goes smoothly and meets its deadlines. Anything changes, and Tesla will need more cash.
10. While Toyota has signed up for Tesla tech, Daimler has limited its business to a few test fleets, and has plans to build EVs with BYD Auto of China. After Tesla finishes its current Daimler project, there's nothing else on the boards with the German automaker.
On the bright side, the all-electric RAV4 prototype is getting rave reviews from Toyota execs.

|Attention: DocWiki has reached EOL and will be decommissioned January 25, 2019.
API: Incorrect participant duration
From DocWiki
Incorrect participant duration
|Problem Summary
|The far-end participant duration for the Session Query and Session Event APIs is incorrect.
|Error Message
|Possible Cause
|If a far-end participant is not present for the entire duration of a recording session, the duration response for that participant is incorrect.
|Recommended Action
| At any time, a recording session can only have two participants: a near-end participant (identified by Track Number 0) and a far-end participant (any non-zero track number). Even in a conference scenario, only the conference bridge number is available to Cisco MediaSense. Consequently, if multiple participants are available in a bridge, Cisco MediaSense only displays one participant(identified by the isConference flag).
The only way a participant list can be changed in a recording session is if the far-end participant performs a transfer or has a conference. If the near-end participant drops off or initiates a conference, the existing recording session terminates.
So the workaround is to use the start time of a new far-end participant as the end time of the previous far-end participant and calculate the duration.
Also use this workaround for SessionEvent to determine if a far-end participant (was) dropped from a recording session (and if so, at what time).

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (May 15, 2010) - Despite losing the doubles point and second-seeded Alabama winning at the No. 1 singles position the ETSU men's tennis team wouldn't quit as the third-seeded Bucs won four of the remaining five singles contests to earn their second-ever victory in the NCAA Tournament Saturday, 4-2.
With the win ETSU improved to 16-7, while the Crimson Tide closed out their season at 13-14.
"First we have the utmost respect for
As play got underway the 32nd-ranked Tide quickly got on the board first as Saketh Myneni and Ricky Doverspike defeated the ETSU junior team of Grega Teraz (Mojstrana, Slovenia) and Charles Bottoni (Bois Guillaume, France) 8-4. Minutes later Alabama wrapped up its 1-0 lead as Jarryd Botha and Trey Walston outlasted sophomore Robin Akser (Ornskoldsvik, Sweden) and senior Daniel Isaza (Medelllin, Colombia) at the No. 3 position 8-6.
Seconds later freshman Juan Ramirez (Asuncion, Paraguay) then gave the Bucs their first lead at 2-1 with a strong 6-3, 6-4 straight set win over Walston at the No. 6 position.
ETSU then got back the lead as Isaza rebounded from a 3-6 first-set loss, rolling in the final two frames 6-2, 6-3 over
With the Bucs lead at 3-2 all eyes then turned to court two as sophomore Sander Gille (Kuringen, Belgium) and Alabama sophomore Ricky Doverspike were battling in the third set.
After Doverspike won three straight games to take the first set 6-2, Gille fought back with a late game break in the second set winning the frame 6-4. As play headed into the third set each competitor held serve through the first 11 games before the Atlantic Sun Conference Player of the Year broke Doverspike at 6-5. Gille then closed out the win at 7-5 serving the ETSU into the record book.
"Everything is incredibly surreal," said Zaatini. "There are no words to describe the feeling we have right now. Everyone played ultra hard today, even in the one singles contest we lost I thought Grega had a great chance in the second set, but just couldn't close it out. When I think about us now winning two first-round matches in the last three years it just feels me with so much pride for our program. We try to get quality players at ETSU and today is one of those moments when our fans and community can share this excitement with these great student-atheltes we have competing at our school."

Toe Jam #2- Cable Qualifiers
The Texas Leg of the Byerly Toe Jam started off today with the qualifying rounds as you all probably know. They take the top 2 spots from every heat to make 16 riders that will ride on Friday behind boat and again on Saturday behind the cable.
The first heat was a tough one, Grant Roberts won with a super consistent run. Clint Thompkins got a nice kickflip off the incline and hit up the rest of the sliders like he always does to get the last qualifying spot in the first heat.
Up next was the local, Bret Little, who tore up his home waters and took first in his heat. Danny Hampson made it through with a 2nd place. He killed it today! I overheard him saying that he sucks at cable and never rides it, but he went out there and had near flawless run and stuck a nice fs big spin off the kicker amongst other goodies.
The new Texas local, Aaron Reed had a good qualifying run and made it through with a first place. He was sporting the best helmet today fawshaw!! Bright yellow safety machine it was! Grubb got a second and qualified through in that heat.
Andy P came down with the whole Pastura family in a flipping cool Truck-mobile home thingy. He killed it (big spin over the wall ride, what) and won his heat with John Ruark riding super good and taking second. Chase Gregory rode super solid to qualify 2nd behind Brandon Thomas.
How about a switch kickflip? Yes, Nick Taylor whipped one out for the crowd and won his heat with Gabe Paulson getting the 2nd. Cable always brings out the unknowns, and one of the underdogs who came out today and ripped was Oury Yarbrough. He had a really good run and made it through with a 2nd. Reed Hansen showed everyone how it was done riding last and got his varial flip, kickflip, fs flip, tore up all the sliders and got the best score of the day with 83.33. Good for the eyes.
I was out with Brooke's camera taking video all day, so be sure to check back for the footage later. Till tomorrow… take it lemon and squeezy. Diets

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — An 89-year-old Nazi war crimes suspect who was jailed while awaiting extradition to Germany has been granted bail after being hospitalized.
Johann "Hans" Breyer can await the outcome of his extradition fight at his Philadelphia home if he is released from the hospital, a judge ruled Monday, reversing his ruling on bail because of Breyer's condition.
German prosecutors in the Bavarian town of Weiden hope to try Breyer on charges of aiding in the deaths of more than 200,000 Jews killed at the Auschwitz death camp. Breyer has said that he was forced to work there as a guard in his teens but that he never took part in the mass slaughter.
"While at Auschwitz, Mr. Breyer acted predominantly as a guard to the exterior of the camp," his lawyers wrote in a brief filed Friday that argued against his extradition. "The only interaction Mr. Breyer had with the prisoners was on three or four occasions he escorted some prisoners to a work site. This was the extent of his interaction with the prisoners."
Court filings do not detail what led to Breyer's hospitalization or where he is being treated. Neither his lawyers nor U.S. authorities assisting the State Department in the extradition request immediately returned messages Tuesday.
His lawyers have argued in court that Breyer's health was deteriorating after he spent several weeks in a federal detention center in Philadelphia since his June 17 arrest. They said he suffers from heart problems and dementia and has had a stroke in recent years. And they said he has only vague memories of his wartime service.
Breyer, a retired toolmaker, has lived in Philadelphia since 1952. He was born in a farming village in modern-day Slovakia to an American-born mother. He previously survived U.S. efforts to be stripped of his citizenship when a judge said he had entered the Waffen SS a few weeks before his 18th birthday.
In the extradition case, his lawyers argue that he had no choice but to report when he was conscripted and that he later wanted to desert but feared he would be executed.
"I didn't do anything wrong," Breyer said in a 2012 interview with The Associated Press.
However, U.S. prosecutors said that Breyer would have known people were being killed even if he was stationed outside because of the "continuous smoke and smell of burning human flesh" from the death chambers. He neither deserted nor sought a transfer to the front lines, they said.
"As an armed guard in the Death's Head Guard Battalion at Auschwitz II-Birkenau, Breyer's responsibilities involved preventing the escape of the civilian Jewish men, women and children," prosecutors wrote. "Breyer was promoted at least once and granted home leave twice while stationed (there)."
Breyer is married and has adult children and grandchildren. He has led a quiet, middle-class life over several decades in northeast Philadelphia.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Timothy Rice, who granted bail, canceled an extradition hearing scheduled for Thursday, citing Breyer's hospitalization. He said he'll make a decision based on written arguments.
German authorities in Weiden issued a warrant for Breyer's arrest in June 2013. The warrant accuses Breyer of 158 counts of accessory to murder — one count for each trainload of victims taken to the Auschwitz death camp in occupied Poland from May 1944 to October 1944.

Al Capone's Bulletproof 1928 Cadillac is Up For Sale
Alright boys, we got some news here dat da boss ain't gonna like. Appears as if his prized Caddy ain't going him wit him to da garage. It's going to some palooka who bids on it wit da most money. Time ta make dis fella sleep wit da fishes, see?
Don't worry, this entire article won't be done in 1930′s gangster speak, but you can just imagine that that's how the conversation would go if Al Capone's bulletproof 1928 Cadillac were to go up for auction back in the day. The notorious and ruthless criminal boss, who ran the streets of Chicago, had fantastic taste in cars. Especially the kind that could protect him from a hailstorm of bullets.
RM Auctions is putting the car up for sale on July 28th in in Plymouth, MI. This isn't the first time this beautiful green Cadillac has hit the auction block. Six years ago it fetched $621,500 according to Autoblog. After being purchased by carnies in 1932, the car spent most of its life in museums in Great Britain, Canada and Tennessee. Attorney John O'Quinn had purchased the car back in 2006 but died in a car accident in 2009, so his estate is putting the famous car up for auction once again.
Most of the armor was removed 50 years ago when it was restored, though that shouldn't deter buyers who want to own one of the greatest pieces of mafia history. RM Auctions is estimating the car will fetch $300,000-$500,000, which is was unable to do when it last went up for auction back in 2010 and nobody bought it. If this classic Caddy doesn't sell, it may go back to traveling the museum circuit (which is where a car like this should belong in the first place.) Maybe the auction should include a few Tommy machine guns and beefed up Italians to help coax buyers into bidding.
You can see more pictures of the car by clicking HERE. Alright boys, empty yer pockets. We got ourselves a car we needs ta purchase.

Reports have Omar Minaya and Jeff Wilpon in Atlanta to meet with Jerry Manuel and Oliver Perez to best figure out how to handle the disintegrating lefty.
The options:
1) Convince him to accept a minor league assignment. As a veteran of at least five years he has the right of veto. The pros of going to the minor leagues is it could demoralize the already shaky Perez emotionally beyond repair. Nobody has a way of knowing for sure. Theoretically, he'll get consistent work in, albeit away from pitching coach Dan Warthen.
2) Keep him around where he could work with Warthen and pitch out of the bullpen in a to-be-determined role. The disadvantage is not getting consistent work against live hitters.
3) Put him on the DL with a knee (injury). All of a sudden Perez was wrapped in ice after Saturday's start and said it had been hurting him all year. This is the path of least resistance because the Mets can bring somebody up and Perez can still be around the team to work out.
We'll know tonight.

The artist stands outside the National Capitol building, the most visible landmark on Havana's crumbling skyline, puts three pieces of glass on the sidewalk, and places a scuba mask over his face.
The video performance, titled "Crossing the Sea at Night," is just a few minutes long, consisting of a series of simulated swimming strokes.
Its provocation is subtle. But its public forum and theme – given widespread emigration to the US by sea – are part of a social critique by a group of young artists, poets, sculptors, and rappers seeking to spur dialogue in a nation where newspapers and television often reflect a state-approved reality.
After nearly half a century at Cuba's helm, Fidel Castro's resignation has ushered in a sense of expectation that more opportunities for free expression are on the way – already, President Raúl Castro has relaxed bans on buying cellphones and DVDs.
But for many Cubans this is far from sufficient. And nowhere is hope for change more fervent than among the island's young adults, who never experienced the hardships prior to the 1959 revolution that brought Fidel Castro to power. Instead, they have grown up in an era of asceticism as the Soviet Union collapsed and its funds for Cuba dried up. They have been told over and over to be patient, to have faith, that change will soon come.
"We were born in a generation that instilled faith in us that things were going to improve, spiritually and materially, if we just followed the path," says Natividad Soto Kessel, a sculptor with the group of young artists that organizes under the name Omni Zonafranca.
"But it is the same as it was," pipes in Adolfo Cabrera, a founding member of Omni Zonafranca.
"We think there has been no improvement because there is no dialogue," adds Ms. Soto Kessel.
Perhaps nobody is stirring more dialogue right now than the young Cuban blogger Yoani Sanchez, who says her entries began as a personal catharsis and have since received worldwide attention. "I had so much to say, I was up to my neck," says the wiry Ms. Sanchez, who recently won the prestigious Ortega y Gasset prize in Spain for digital journalism.
Her blog, called Generacion Y (www.desdecuba.com/generaciony/), offers stinging criticism of the public discourse of Cuba's officials and chronicles the daily problems citizens face. She says that while the Raúl Castro administration is little more than a succession, Fidel Castro's resignation opens more space for debate.
"Fidel hypnotized the people," she says. "Now people have awakened."
Sanchez says the nation's first blog emerged in 2006. Now about a dozen independent blogs such as hers are read across Cuba. "We no longer depend on the government to inform us," she says.
Youths play a key role in this new environment, she continues, adding that technology will help them circumvent government control. She, for example, writes her entries at home, copies them on a memory stick, and then visits Internet cafes. She, like others in her generation, finds out about world events from news that is copied from illegal satellites and distributed on the black market.
Still, bold moves like hers or Omni Zonafranca's are more the cutting edge than the status quo. Many students say they still fervently accept the system. Mariet, a young law student at the University of Havana who declined to share her last name, says that revolution is a constant series of changes toward improvement. This country "is not perfect," she says. "But if we criticize we should try to be positive and constructive."
Students across campus say they believe in change – but that it should happen within a government framework. Jorge and Yahisa, two cybernetics students at the University of Havana, say limited Internet access is their main concern.
"To be students, and not have access to something so amazing, especially as cybernetics students, this worries us," says Yahisa. "But we have to voice concerns within official channels. Our responsibility is to be knowledgeable about what is going on, but we are not prepared politically to know what is best."
Today's youths came of age during the extreme austerity of the 1990s after the sudden loss of Soviet largess. Hardship has been their generation's dominant theme. Many have emigrated. In a 25-month period from 2005 to 2007, 77,000 Cubans fled to the US – an even larger exodus than the "rafter" crisis of the '90s.
Observers say the government has tried to address growing disillusionment among those who stayed. In recent months, the Raúl Castro administration has gone to great lengths to seek, and publicize, citizen complaints, often via state-run media.
But controlled criticism, many say, is not a true form of expression. "There is either pluralism, or it is a monologue," says Sanchez.
And it cannot always be contained. In February, a group of university students took Ricardo Alarcón, the president of the national assembly, by surprise when they publicly demanded to know why they could not vacation abroad. A video of the event was widely circulated.
"Young people have lost their fear," says Carlos Serpa Maceira, an independent journalist in Havana. He flips through photo albums chronicling a student movement seeking more university autonomy. The group collected 5,000 signatures that they presented to the Education Ministry. "They were prepared psychologically to believe in the revolution, but they can see reality," he says. "They want to be in style, read other publications, travel, surf the Internet."
Like almost all of the young people interviewed for this piece, Mr. Cabrera, the artist with Omni Zonafranca, says he has no desire to veer from the socialist system. All he wants, he says, is a space to express his voice. To that end, his group's work includes poems and songs about Cubans jailed for selling marijuana, corruption, women's inequality, and racism.
"Our goal is not a direct confrontation with the state," he says, but adds, "that is always the indirect result."

Published at Saturday, 07 April 2018. Fishing Reels. By Rolande Yolande.
Check out the following basic guidelines you can use whether you prefer chasing farm-pond panfish or saltwater marlins. By practicing these tips your reels will stay in tip-top shape much longer and you can be confident your tackle will handle anything a fish dishes out.
Oil bearings. "Clean bearings with lighter fluid. That'll remove all the dirt and grunge from them. After they're cleaned make sure they spin. That's very important because it'll tell you they're clean. Oil them with TG's Rocket Fuel — medium viscosity — one drop per bearing. Again use a toothpick."
Baitcasting Reels: These reels work with the weight of your bait or lure as it pulls on the line and turns the spool. They are typically preferred by more experienced anglers especially when using heavier lures and lines for large game fish. Handles are usually located on the right-hand side of the reel. Most baitcasting reels incorporate a drag system which adjusts the resistance or drag on your spool and controls the level of resistance needed to pull the right length of line off the spool many anglers prefer baitcasting reels for larger stronger game fish like musky or smallmouth bass particularly if they′ll be out on the water for an extended period of time. Many saltwater anglers also use baitcasting reels for species like striped bass some baitcasting reels come in one-piece designs that lessen the corrosive effects of saltwater.

This may be just the beginning of the Clippers' cripple-down effect.
Whatever damage was already heaped upon in the court of public opinion this weekend over racial comments attributed to controversial team owner Donald T. Sterling, the next wave of outrage likely will depend on how the league and new commissioner, Adam Silver, decide to move forward.
As the league's investigation continued into an audiotape released Friday by celebrity gossip site TMZ, as well as an extended version posted Sunday on Deadspin.com, indications are a fine and/or suspension for Sterling could come as soon as Tuesday.
That would be the same day the Clippers and Warriors play a critical Game 5 of their Western Conference quarterfinal series at Staples Center, the first time the Clippers are on their home court since the story surfaced. The series is tied at two games apiece following the Clippers' 21-point loss Sunday.
Depending on the severity of the NBA's punishment, industry sources differ on the reaction. How multimillion dollar sponsors distance themselves from Sterling and the team, season-ticket holders boycott future playoff games or if free-agent players change their minds about playing for the team in the near future all are in play.
"If the league wants to suspend him, that's great and wonderful," said famed human rights activist Harry Edwards, a professor emeritus of sociology at UC Berkeley. "The league has to take a stand and say this is who we are and this is something we cannot endorse and tolerate it. They should fine him and suspend him.
"I would hate to see him suspended before I can see the fans get up and walk out on him. Even if they suspend him for the rest of the playoffs and beginning of the season, the first game he shows up people should get up and walk out on him. This is absolutely horrible."
Critical reactions already have come fast and furious from Magic Johnson, the target of the alleged Sterling comments, as well as NBA stars past and present, such as Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley. Johnson specifically joined ABC's NBA studio show on Sunday morning to reiterate his outrage about how he has "no problem" never attending another Clippers game as per Sterling's wishes.
"He's got to come down hard," Johnson said about Silver. "(Sterling) shouldn't own a team anymore. And, he should stand up and say 'I don't want to own a team anymore,' especially when you have African-Americans renting his apartments, coming to his games, playing for him and coaching for him. This is bad for everybody. This is bad for America. I'm really upset about it."
President Barack Obama also responded Sunday during a news conference on Sunday in Malaysia.
"I don't think I have to interpret those statements for you," he said. "They kind of speak for themselves. When ignorant folks want to advertise their ignorance, you don't really have to do anything. You just let them talk."
Before the Clippers were humiliated in a 118-97 loss to the Warriors on Sunday, team members gathered at midcourt and dropped their sweatsuits on the court to reveal a logo-less shirt prior to warming up. ABC NBA studio analyst Jalen Rose later exclaimed: "That's what happens when you have an owner like Donald Sterling who talks about his players like they're field workers that he allows to live in the house."
During the game, ABC analyst Jeff Van Gundy said it was confounding to him why some players said they couldn't speak on the Sterling story because "the team told them not to. Are you kidding me? Stand up for what you believe." He also said because they are "grown men with families of their own who at some point have been directly impacted by racism … relish the opportunity to speak out. And that's where neutrality can't be tolerated."
On the KABC-Channel 7 postgame show, analyst and former WNBA Sparks and USC star Lisa Leslie said: "If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything. I'm a little disappointed that Clippers even played their game today. If I was a player today and that had happened with my owner, I would have encouraged my team, as the captain, to not play.
"It's bigger than just a basketball game. Take a stand for humans, for society, for African-Americans, for all people. What can the fans do? Boycott the game."
TMZ and Deadpin have not explained how they obtained the recording. This news organization has not verified its authenticity.
A person identified as Sterling is arguing with his girlfriend and is upset she posed for an Instagram photo with Johnson. A statement by the team questions and discredits the audio and said the woman identified as V. Stiviano recently was sued by the Sterlings.
The subject matter will be ripe for more debate Monday as information develops and local sports-talk radio shows dig in for the new work week.
John Ireland, a Clippers broadcaster under Sterling in the late '90s who now works for the Lakers, said when his midday show on the Lakers' 710-AM KSPN station begins Monday, he expects "a total different tidal wave of reaction because when we've had individual racism in sports — Marge Schott, Al Campanis, John Rocker — there has never been social media. You can't hide this behavior. On top of that, it's on tape. You can hear what bigotry and racism sounds like. That's different than if you read it in a court deposition. It smacks you right in the face.
"I watched the Sunday morning news shows and they discussed it. I think that the league has to rule quickly on this, because if they don't they leave it up to the media, players and fans to control the narrative.
"One thing that I hope to get across is that this is one guy, the owner. The overwhelming majority of Clippers employees are really great people. There is a huge difference between the Clippers owner and Clippers organization."
During the team's post-game "Clipper Talk" show Sunday on KFWB-AM (980), fans seemed more concerned about how the news affected the team's performance, whether true or not.
"I've never cared for him as an owner, but it must have contributed to their psyche," one caller named Freddie said. "I still think they're going to come back and go to the final and win it all."
