B. The Transfer of Technology for Killing by Means of Gas to Eastern Europe
1.Parallel to the beginning of the deportations, the transfer of gas-killing technology into the Eastern European region was begun. This technology had been under development in the context of the "euthanasia" programme since 1939.
2.This transfer was initiated after the programme of "euthanasia" had been stopped on 24 August 1941. The programme had comprised the planned murder of approximately 20 percent of all inmates of psychiatric institutions in the Reich. Altogether more than 70.000 people had been killed in the framework of the so-called "Operation T4" (Aktion T4) when it was brought to an end.224 Only a few weeks later, the first preparations can be documented for the construction of gas-chambers in Eastern Europe.
3.- The decision to build the first extermination camp in Belzec was made in mid-October. The killing was to proceed by means of exhaust from a permanently installed motor. Construction started at the beginning of November, and the killing experts of Operation T4 were ordered to Belzec in December 1941. (This will be described in more detail in another section of this report.)225
4.- Likewise in October 1941, preparations were put into place by the Chancellery of the Führer, which was responsible for Operation T4, to build gas-chambers in Riga. This can be taken from a letter of 25 October by Wetzel, the specialist for racial affairs of the Ministry for the Occupied Eastern Territories, to Reichskommissar Lohse, head of the Reichskommissariat Ostland:226
In reference to my letter of 18 October, I am writing to inform you that Oberdienstleiter [a rank in the Party hierarchy, P.L.] Brack of the Chancellery of the Führer has declared his willingness to participate in the construction of the required dwellings as well as the production of the gassing-apparatus. The appropriate apparatus are not available in the required quantity at present, and must first be produced. As Brack is of the opinion that the production of the apparatus would provide greater difficulties in the Reich than on-site, he considers it purposeful to send his people to Riga. His chemist Dr. Kallmeyer, in particular, will make all the necessary arrangements. [...] According to Sturmbannführer Eichmann, camps for Jews will be established in Riga and Minsk, into which Jews from the area of the Altreich will also possibly be brought. At the moment Jews are being evacuated from the Altreich who will be brought to , insofar as they are fit for work. According to this state of affairs, there are no reservations if those Jews who are incapable of work, are eliminated by the Brackian means. [...] Those fit for work, on the other hand, will be transported to labour in the East.Gas-chambers (here described as "dwellings" (Unterkünfte) were not in fact erected in Riga. Rather, so-called gas-vans were to be employed.
5.- These gas-vans were developed by the Criminal Police in autumn 1941 - parallel to the transfer of the technology of "euthanasia" to Eastern Europe. This started with Himmler's visit to Riga in mid-August. After having an execution of Jews performed for his observation, he demanded of Nebe, the Head of the EG B, that other methods of killing should be sought which were more "humane" than execution - methods, that is, which would put less strain on the firing squads of the SS and policemen.227
6.Following this, Nebe, who was simultaneously Head of the Reich Criminal Police Office, ordered the Head of the Department for chemistry and biology of the Criminal-Technical Institute, Widmann, to Minsk.228 After a trial with explosives, in which a group of patients of an asylum for the mentally ill was murdered in the most gruesome manner,229 Widmann had a further group of patients poisoned with motor-exhaust in Mogilev in mid-September.230
7.Based on this experience, the decision was made to create mobile gas-chambers for the EG's. Already in 1940 the SK Lange had used such vehicles to murder asylum inmates in Poland. Now, however, instead of using carbon-monoxide gas bottles as previously, the exhaust of the vehicles was pumped directly into the passenger-carriage.231 At the beginning of November 1941, the first "testing" of such a vehicle took place in Sachsenhausen, where the Criminal-Technical Institute ran a workshop. About 30 prisoners were killed by exhaust fumes.232
8.In the occupied Soviet territories, the gas-vans were first used to kill people in November or early December. By the end of 1941, probably a total of six gas-vans of the first series were deployed by the four EG's.233
9.- Around the same time, from October/November 1941 onward, the gas-vans were also deployed by the SK Lange in the Warthegau to murder of Jews. On 8 December, the killing began in Chelmno, where a permanent location of gas-vans was established - that is, a further variant of an extermination camp.234
10.- While the mass murders were being prepared or already executed in Belzec, the Warthegau, and in the occupied Eastern territories with the help of exhaust fumes, the Commandant of the Auschwitz concentration camp took another course. In September or December 1941, 600 Soviet prisoners of war, as well as a selected 250 sick prisoners, were murdered in the basement of Block 11 of Auschwitz by means of a high concentration of the extremely poisonous disinfectant Cyclon B. At a later point, in December 1941, a further 900 Soviet POWs were murdered by means of gas.235
11.In his writings from the Krakow prison after the war, the former Commandant of Auschwitz Höß described how he had discussed the question of the most suitable poison-gas to be employed, on the occasion of a visit by Eichmann.236 The date of this visit is still not certain - some of his comments indicate the autumn of 1941, others point to a later date somewhere in early 1942. Höß further states that during the time that he was not in Auschwitz himself, his deputy used Cyclon B to kill Soviet POWs on his own initiative.237
12.In November 1941, Topf & Söhne (of Erfurt), a company specialised in the construction of crematoria, received the assignment to build an enormous 32-chamber furnace in Mogilev, White Russia. This installation was needed - so the company was told - to hygienically dispose of corpses, due to the great danger of epidemics in the East. As the site was not completed, the ovens which were no longer needed went to Auschwitz.238 It is possible that this crematorium-installation was in fact planned as part of an extermination camp in Mogilev, whose function was taken over by Auschwitz and the Polish extermination camps in the following months.239
13.From the above one can see, that at the end of 1941 preparations were underway for the construction of extermination camps in Riga, in the area of Lodz (Chelmno), in Belzec as well as in Auschwitz, and presumably also in Mogilev, that is, in the area of Minsk. Thus extermination camps were being planned in the proximity of all the ghettos which had been chosen as the destinations for the first to the third waves of deportations from the German Reich. The parallels in timing between the beginning of the deportations and the preparation and installation of the murder-machinery reflect the plan of the Nazi regime to extend the strategy of "Jew-free" (judenfrei) areas - already implemented in the Soviet Union - to the Polish territories. In certain regions which were of central importance in the displacement of people within the framework of the racist "New Ordering", the elimination of the Jewish population "unfit for work" was the minimum requirement. In the preceding months, attempts on all sides to develop or improve on technologies of mass-killing by means of gas are clear indications of comprehensive preparations to extend the scale of mass murder for the near future. (In the case of Auschwitz these preparations were concerned with the Soviet POWs, and not Jewish prisoners in the first instance.) It should be emphasised, however, that at this time the plans for the systematic mass murder of the Jewish population only extended to certain regions. As previously, the intention was to deport the remaining Jews to the occupied Soviet territories after the war.

226. 'Unter Bezugnahme auf mein Schreiben vom 18. Oktober teile ich Ihnen mit, daß sich Oberdienstleiter Brack von der Kanzlei des Führers bereit erklärt hat, bei der Herstellung der erforderlichen Unterkünfte sowie der Vergasungsapparate mitzuwirken. Zur Zeit sind die in Betracht kommenden Apparate in genügender Anzahl nicht vorhanden, sie müssen erst hergestellt werden. Da nach Auffassung Bracks die Herstellung der Apparate im Reich viel größere Schwierigkeiten bereitet als an Ort und Stelle, hält es Brack für am zweckmäßigsten, wenn er umgehend seine Leute, insbesondere seinen Chemiker Dr. Kallmeyer, nach Riga serdet, der dort alles Weitere veranlassen wird. [...] Nach Mitteilung von Sturmbannführer Eichmann sollen in Riga und Minsk Lager für Juden geschaffen werden, in die evtl. auch Juden aus dem Altreichsgebiet kommen. Es werden zur Zeit aus dem Altreich Juden evakuiert, die nach Litzmannstadt, aber auch nach anderen Lagern kommen sollen, um dann später im Osten, soweit arbeitsfähig, in Arbeitseinsatz zu kommen. Nach Sachlage bestehen keine Bedenken, wenn diejenigen Juden, die nicht arbeitsfähig sind, mit den Brackschen Hilfsmitteln beseitigt werden [...] Die Arbeitsfähigen dagegen werden zum Arbeitseinsatz nach Osten abtransportiert.'

6 Fascinating Facts About Exes
When selecting your outfit, dress in layers so you'll have more to peel off. And make sure you're comfortable in whatever you have on. Of course stilettos and knee-high boots are wicked foxy, and if you feel confident in them, great. But being in bare feet and one of his button-downs (you can slowly undo those buttons...) is just as alluring.

Dim the lights or toss a sheer scarf over your lamps. Arrange a chair for him to sit on where you'll also have space to strip a few feet away (you want to be back far enough that he can see all of you, and you're just out of his reach). To initiate things, either tell him, "I've got a little something for you," or simply lead him to the room and push him down on chair.

RIPON - Authorities in San Joaquin County fear a teenager may have drowned Thursday in the Stanislaus River near Ripon, officials said.
The San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office's Boating Safety Unit continued its search Friday for Savon Dean, a 19-year-old Elk Grove man who was last seen struggling in the river near Caswell Memorial State Park, authorities said. Dean was not wearing a life jacket, officials said.
Deputies said Dean went rafting with a friend about 2 p.m. Thursday. The friend returned to their campground without Dean about 7 p.m., telling family members Dean needed help.
Sheriff's deputies, the Ripon Fire Department and a California Highway Patrol helicopter searched the area for hours but found no sign of Dean. Deputy Les Garcia, a spokesman for the Sheriff's Office, said the search for Dean and the investigation into his disappearance were ongoing.

Collected by Parler and O'Bryant at Wild Cherry, Ark
Mr. Al Bittick Winkelman, Arizona September 3, 1958
Reel 360, Item 1
Pictures from Life's Other Side
In the word's mighty gallery of pictures,
Are the pictures that were taken from life,
Are the pictures of love and of beauty,
Are the pictures of peace and of strife,
Are the pictures of love and of beauty,
Old age and a blushing young bride,
But the saddest of all that hangs on the wall Is the picture from life's other side.
It's a picture from life's other side,
Somebody has fell by the way,
A life that goes out with the tide That might have been happy some day,
Some poor old mother at home,
Watching and waiting alone,
Just waiting to hear from her loved ones so dear, It's a picture from life's other side.
The first scene is that of two brothers Whose life ways they differently led,
One lived in luxury and houses,
While the other had to beg for his bread,
One night they met on the highway,
Your money or your life, the thief cried,
And he took with his knife his own brother's life, It's a picture from life's other side.
The next scene is down by the river Of a heart-broken mother and babe,
In the glare of the lights see her shiver,
She's an outcast whom no one will save,
She's loves in passion
But now is headed for the grave,
In the light she does sleep, there's no one to weep, Just a picture from life's other side.
-more-Pictures from Life's Other Side Reel 360, Item 1 Continued
The next scene is that of a gambler Who lost all his money at play,
His dead mother's ring from his finger,
She'd worn on her wedding day,
His earthly treasure, he stakes it,
And bows his head in shame,
When they lifted his head, they found he was dead, It's a picture from life's other side.

Community Relations' police complaint review program assists citizens who would like to make an allegation of officer misconduct by providing them an alternative for registering their complaints. The police department and Community Relations encourage any citizen who believes he or she has a valid grievance to file a report. You can report alleged police misconduct either directly with CMPD's Internal Affairs Division, or through the CRC. How the process works (text-only version)
Click here to view full-size image
* If the complaint is sustained against an officer, the Chief of Police or his/her designee takes the proper corrective measures, which range from verbal or written reprimands to a recommendation for dismissal. If the officer disagrees with the discipline given to him or her, the officer can appeal CMPD's decision to the Civil Service Board. Only the Civil Service Board, which is the appeal arm for sworn officers, can dismiss an officer who has completed his/her probationary period. Officers are notified of the outcome of the disciplinary hearing and, if warranted, any resulting disciplinary action.

A site i like very much is Color Collective.
As handy as Kuler is, sometimes it's nice to just look at pretty pictures. (And get some really nice colour schemes at the same time).
Too bad there's no search function, but be sure to check out the links under each picture, especially if you're into fashion photography.

Many students throughout the country participate in spring festivals and traditions. Here are just a few of some of the festivals going on this time of year. I don't know about you, but these beat throwing a Frisbee around for the 7th day in a row. Sometimes a change of pace is nice!
UC San Diego – Sun God Festival
The Sun God Festival is an annual campus festival at UCSD that will be taking place on May 18. The concerts begin in the early afternoon and run throughout the evening until midnight with multiple stages that feature DJ performances, a mix of indie/underground/mainstream music groups and a fair. The festival is produced by the Associated Students Concerts & Events office and is paid for by the students with an activity fee. On the day of the Sun God Festival, there is a Junkyard Derby race in which students and faculty can form groups to create downhill racers made from old junkyard parts. Some of the groups in the lineup include Silversun Pickups, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Murs, TOKiMONSTA, and James Davis.
Northwestern University – Dillo Day
Dillo Days is the annual festival at Northwestern University that takes place on the last Sunday of May. The festival was first held in 1972 and is organized by the Mayfest Student group at the Northwestern Lakefill. The contemporary day has its roots in May Day and previous years have featured some extremely well-known artists. The lineup has yet to be revealed for 2012, but in 2010 Nelly, Regina Spektor, and Rhymefest performed and last year, B.o.B, Chiddy Bong, and Kill the Noise made an appearance.
UC Santa Barbara – Floatopia
Floatopia is a social event that has taken place in Santa Barbara annually since 2004 and was created in 2003 by UCSB students Yvonne Foletta and Christina Troutner. Floatopia occurs at the start of spring quarter and participants are primarily college students from around the area and the state of California. In 2009, 12,000 floaters participated in the event. To participate, all one must do is wear water-appropriate clothing and float on rafts and other home-made or store-bought floating devices along the coast and party on the beach.
I'm certainly adding one or two of these onto my bucket list.

One of the key improvements in Oracle GoldenGate 11g Release 2 is in the monitoring area. This release brought integration with Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c, as well as a new product dedicated for monitoring Oracle GoldenGate, called Oracle GoldenGate Monitor. This new product is included in the Management Pack for Oracle GoldenGate and offers GUI-based solution for end-to-end, real-time visibility into Oracle GoldenGate implementations across the enterprise.

Audio Hijack Pro
14 Opinions
Can mute the audio output of a specific app: useful to mute the ads that play before a video on video streaming sites (eg: on youtube)
Useful for controlling the individual volume levels of apps - I use it to boost levels in final cut.
This is a really useful app, great for grabbing bits of streaming audio, or scheduling live broadcasts. The Pro version allows you to set lots of stuff and do some processing with its support for plug-ins. The Skype capture with one channel for the sender and the other for the receiver is very useful.
Really, really useful app. Wouldn't be without it.
Awesome scheduling features. I use it every morning to record the news before I get up. I sync up my iPod before I leave the house and listen on the subway. It's like TiVo for internet radio.
I used to use Ambrosia's WireTap, but this has so many more options, including the Karaoke filter I could previously only find in the (discontinued) app Audion. The interface is nicer, too.
moshisushi: unless the DRM cripples your entire system :P
But yes, fantastic app that really hijacks the audio from other apps directly. Say goodbye to horrible rerecordings that involve aiming a mic at your speakers.
And the free demo generously lets you record up to 10 minutes at a go, which is more than enough for most songs.
Essential if you listen to anything on your Mac. Worth every penny thousands of times over.
Totally awesome. I use it to record foreign radio stations for listening practice.
Can be used to improve sound quality of downloaded music, although this does remove the DRM :-)

Bring the kids out for an educational and exciting experience for "Toying with Science" Tuesday at 11 a.m. at the Riverwalk Center in Breckenridge. Presented as part of the Imagination Express Series, "Toying with Science" brings performer Garry Krinsky to Summit County for a look into the imaginations of scientists who explore our world.
"Toying with Science," first performed in 1995, was created by the Museum of Science in Boston. The show explores the principles of gravity, leverage, fulcrums and simple machines. With Krinsky as the host, "Toying with Science" combines circus skills, mime, original music and audience involvement.
During the show, Krinsky will share the stage and get the audience involved in between original songs, juggling and balancing five ladders on his chin at one time to help demonstrate how to find your center of gravity.
Said to resemble "a living cartoon with his animated movement and nonstop energy," Krinsky has brought his high energy and experience to thousands of schools, theaters and festivals since 1978. He has also performed on live television, specifically on NBC's "Today" show.
Imagination Express is a family series presented by the Town of Breckenridge featuring a variety of performances highlighting the best in children's entertainment.
Tickets for the show are $5 and can be purchased at the Riverwalk Center Box Office, by phone at (970) 547-3100 or online at www.BreckenridgeRiverwalkCenter.com.

Globalization, Human Rights & Security
Globalization—as a political, economic and cultural trend—continues to have a mixed impact on women. Although it is strengthening promotion of gender equality around the world, it is also in many cases widening the gulf between rich and poor, accelerating environmental degradation and increasing the workloads of women and girls. The expanding global marketplace is increasing women's employment opportunities but also producing jobs that may be temporary, unsafe or exploitive. Furthermore, economic reform programs imposed on developing countries by international financial institutions have often eroded critical services, such as public health and education programs, thereby increasing the caregiving burdens of women and girls. While globalization has opened up new avenues for some women, it has also led to increased hardship for others.

Japan Could Reprocess Nuclear Fuel from Korea
From Chosun Ilbo
The Japanese government is considering reprocessing spent nuclear fuel rods from Korea, Vietnam and other Asian countries, the Tokyo Shimbun reported Sunday. Japan is the only country in the world that has no nuclear weapons but the facilities to reprocess spent nuclear fuel rods capable of producing weapons-grade plutonium.
An advisory council to the Democratic Party of Japan in a report last May said reprocessing spent nuclear fuel rods would "strengthen" Japan's diplomacy, security and the country's economy as well as "contribute to the peaceful use of atomic energy."
The report suggests using the Rokashomura nuclear reprocessing plant in Aomori Prefecture, which will become obsolete if Japan scraps all its own nuclear power plants in the 2030s.
Japan's Economy Minister Toshimitsu Motegi recently said that no concrete decision has been made to scrap the country's reprocessing facilities entirely. The Rokashomura facility reprocesses spent nuclear fuel from all nuclear plants in Japan.
Japan spent more than W30 trillion (US$1=W1,064) building the facility because the plutonium it extracts could be used to power the Monju sodium-cooled fast reactor in southwestern Japan.
But the continued operation of the Monju reactor is uncertain due to frequent malfunctions. The Japanese government has admitted that it may not be put into commercial use until 2050, prompting criticism that the Rokashomura facility was a colossal waste of money.
A bilateral nuclear energy pact between Washington and Tokyo allowing Japan to reprocess spent nuclear fuel rods expires in 2018. The U.S. could insist on revising the agreement so it prohibits further reprocessing.
The Tokyo Shimbun said talks between Seoul and Washington to revise their bilateral nuclear energy pact will serve as the bellwether for talks with Tokyo. The daily said the U.S. may ask Japan to reprocess spent fuel rods from Korea if it wants to continue, and that Tokyo would likely accept the offer.

TAHOE, Calif. — Being out on the water is one of the many perks of being a resident of Lake Tahoe. However, there are obstacles that can stop us from doing so: tight budgets, busy schedules, or avoiding tourists, to name a few. But one thing is true, kids and water go together and Tahoe Maritime Museum (TMM) wants local children to get out there and enjoy it.
TMM recently kicked off its Youth Paddleboard Program with funding from the Lana Vento Foundation. Spearheaded by Katena Sanford, TMM's public programs associate, the program is designed to give local youth a healthy, fun, and educational opportunity.
TMM offers free youth paddleboard lessons and tours every Wednesday through August. The first group went out on the lake Wednesday, July 11. The group included children aged 8-13, some with paddling experience, and others paddleboarded for the first time. Eight-year-old Ben Roesler said, "This isn't really like a class, it's like a ride!" The class begins with basic instruction on paddleboarding; including correct form, how to maneuver, and what to do if you fall in. Once the basics are covered, the group goes out for a tour of the lake in the Tahoe City area. From the water there are great opportunities to learn about the area's geology, flora and fauna, weather patterns, and history.
The program is funded by a grant from the Lana Vento Charitable Trust. The grant allowed for the purchase of six new WAI SUP boards, life vests, and paddles. All the equipment is provided, the children need to bring sunscreen, swimsuit, and be ready to paddle, get wet and have fun.
The group meets at Commons Beach in Tahoe City and is led by TMM's Public Programs Associate Katena Sanford. "It's an exciting and fun way to get kids on the water. The kids seem to pick it up right away and we want to make sure local youth get to experience being out on the lake," said Sanford.
The program's goal is to foster a love of the lake in youth and provide a chance for them to be physically active on the water. They get to explore the lake from a different point of view. They take in the underwater views and the views from the lake, all while propelling themselves across the water. It is a great platform to discuss the natural and cultural history of the lake. Ages 8 and up can participate in the program by calling the museum to sign up for either the 9:30 a.m. session or the 11 a.m. session.
TMM is also starting a women's program on Friday mornings at 9 a.m. at Commons Beach. Bring your board and enjoy a morning paddleboard session for free or donate $12 and use one of the museum's boards. Call early to reserve your spot for the youth or women's programs or find out more about the programs. Call 530-525-9253, ext. 103 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Tahoe Maritime Museum, 5205 West Lake Blvd. in Homewood is dedicated to preserving Lake Tahoe's maritime history through innovative interpretation and public education. Visit www.tahoemaritimemuseum.org.

The Jackson County Democratic Party plans to move on April 1 to new office space at 33 N. Central, Suite 210, in Medford.
The organization has occupied a retail space across from the Craterian Theater for nearly 10 years.
Party Chairman Matt Vorderstrasse said the move was part of a strategic plan to streamline operations and direct more funds to community outreach and other key activities.
A facilities committee appointed by Vorderstrasse, who was elected head of the local party in November, determined that a large retail space was necessary only in election years. The organization plans to lease a larger temporary space to accommodate increased activity and the needs of candidates when necessary.
For more information see www.jcdemocrats.org or call 541-858-1050.

Where is the justice in this?

The verdict that was so coldly given for the death of Trayvon Martin was ridiculous and cold.
Tell it is wrong for a teenager who wasn't breaking the law in any way to be killed for walking the sidewalk talking on the phone with only a bag of Skittles and a bottle of juice.
He was killed by a suspicious character who thinks because of his money and skin color he was above every law that the U.S. stands for. This I ask when the law is broken to that extent by hatred: Why would the jurors uphold the wrongdoing of this man?
In the first place, why were there only six jurors and why weren't there any African-Americans among the jury? This goes out for people who hate.
This goes out for people who don't believe in God, causing the good to suffer with the bad. That is why our world is being destroyed in many ways. Look around you. Having money and power doesn't stop God's wrath when he is angry.
All he asks is for us to love one another and realize he is God. I am praying that my people don't make war over this action.
I am praying that they leave the revenge to God and believe and trust in God, the father of us all.
How could anyone believe that big old healthy-looking man was beaten up by a skinny young teenager who was only walking down the street, not stealing, not breaking into any home.
This man who was in his car riding with a gun and was not even a policeman was looking for some African-American to kill.
Where is the justice in that?

DENVER (October 4, 2012)—GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney barreled out of the first presidential debate energized by a solid performance that showed his determination to take it to President Barack Obama.
Most analysts agreed Thursday that Romney was the clear winner of the debate Wednesday in Denver and several described the president's performance as dispassionate, dispirited and tired.
The president, however, intent on keeping his momentum from stalling, was warning Americans that his Republican rival's policy prescriptions for a fragile economy are more fantasy than reality.
Standing toe-to-toe with the president Wednesday for the first time in the campaign, Romney held his own at a time when there already were signs that the race is tightening in some of the battleground states where Mr. Obama has enjoyed an advantage.
Mr. Obama kept his cool and signaled that he won't let up on his message that Romney's plans on taxes, health care, the deficit and more just don't add up.
The candidates sparred Wednesday over their differing approaches to growing the economy.
Mr. Obama said that Romney's tax agenda would not reduce the deficit and said it would include a massive tax cut for the wealthy and more military spending.
The president cited former President Bill Clinton, suggesting the nation should return to the Clinton-era tax rates he says would lead to economic growth.
Mr. Obama says simple "math" and "common sense" show Romney's approach is not a recipe for job growth.
Romney responded that virtually everything Mr. Obama said about his tax plan was inaccurate.
Romney said his plan will cut taxes, reduce spending and grow the economy.
"I will lower taxes on middle income families," he said.

Islanders Nation, what's going on?!
Sorry for not being on time with my blog. My finals schedule has been pretty crazy. December is a crazy month in general.
Usually with finals, there's not a set schedule for practice times because people have meetings, finals and study group meetings to work around. So practice can come at either noon or 7:00 at night, so scheduling can get pretty complicated.
We're at a point where we can't take much time off because we have five games in eight days coming pretty soon. We've been practicing really hard and making a lot of gains. Since there's such a long time from our last game vs. UH, we've been playing each other in practice (duh).
Coach Wilson made things really interesting one day. He had the seniors, juniors, and Ted vs. underclassmen. Need I say any more?
We got buckets and handed them a couple old fashioned butt whoopings. Maybe next time, "kids." All kidding aside, we've gotten a lot better and I can guarantee y'all will see a much improved team for our game vs. South Alabama on Dec. 15.
Thanks goodness the NBA is coming back this month. The Rockets are my team. But to go along with the NBA coming back are annoying talks. I can't stand the Kobe vs. Lebron talks. They're annoying. I like Kobe just fine, LeBron gets on my nerves.
But the best player in the league right now is Dirk. Nobody can stop the one-legged fade game. NOBODY.
Congrats to everyone graduating, I hope nobody takes a spill while walking – like this.
It's been real!

Foreclosures sales were relatively flat across four Bay Area counties in March and sharply down from last year, according to a report Thursday, but that hasn't stilled criticism that banks aren't living up to promises to curb foreclosure abuses.
There were 357 foreclosures sales last month in four Bay Area counties, ForeclosureRadar.com reported, a slight decline from February's 380 foreclosure sales. Alameda, Contra Costa, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties have seen foreclosure sales drop by 56 percent over the year.
The total number of homes with either a notice of default or a notice that their home is to be sold is down from 21,466 homes in March 2012 to 8,370 homes last month in the four-county area, mirroring state trends.
Government initiatives to help struggling homeowners are continuing to reduce the number of people losing homes to auctions on courthouse steps.
But "there's a lot to chew through to get the market back to a semblance of normal," said Madeline Schnapp, ForeclosureRadar's chief economist. She said there are still 1.1 million California homeowners who owe 125 percent or more of what their homes are worth.
As some of them try to redo their loans and stay in their homes, there are complaints that banks aren't complying with California's recently enacted Homeowner Bill of Rights or the provisions of a National Mortgage Settlement with five major lenders.
"The banks need to do a better job of honoring the settlement and the Homeowner Bill of Rights," said Kevin Stein of the California Reinvestment Coalition.
The coalition released a survey of 84 housing counselors and legal service lawyers which found that homeowners are "continuing to face a plethora of servicing problems," many of which were supposed to be fixed by the mortgage settlement.
Among the problems: homeowners are being "dual tracked" -- foreclosed on while they are trying to modify their loans -- and are not being given a single point of contact as they try to work out a loan modification.
Those practices are barred by the Homeowner Bill of Rights and by the mortgage settlement.
"Unfortunately, the survey's findings are consistent with much of what I've heard as I've traveled the nation in the past year talking with housing counselors and other professionals," said National Mortgage Settlement monitor Joseph Smith in an email. "There are still problems around single points of contact and dual tracking. "
Smith said he's reviewing banks' compliance and will have more to report in the summer.
Wells Fargo, Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase and Citi pointed to the 159,000 California homeowners helped under the mortgage settlement and said they were working with monitors and nonprofit agencies on complaints. The fifth lender, Ally, has completed its obligations under the settlement.

Tiana is a senior at University of Oregon double majoring in Political Science and Journalism with a focus in magazine. Her hometown is now Bend, OR but she graduated from high school in Danville, CA. After graduating from UO, she plans on traveling and working for National Geographic. During her spare time, she enjoys music, reading, sports and movies.
I love to work out. It's an activity I was raised to participate in both as a stress-reliever and a mood booster. Whether I was playing sports, lifting weights at the gym, or running, working out gets the blood pumping and helps create an better, healthier lifestyle. Given the amount of processed food and products that are available in stores working out can be a lifesaver (literally!).
But working out takes time and energy, something most college students don't want to and don't have the time to expend a lot of. As one of those students who gets caught up in homework, friends, and classes, I can sometimes forget to set aside even an hour a day to work out. So, I decided to research and find workouts that can still keep me in shape without taking an hour out of my day. And the best part is, this can be done pretty much anywhere.
Workout 1: Fitness at Home
30 Jumping Jacks
5 pushups
25 Knee Highs
7 Burpees
10 Crunches
7 Squats
5 Pushups
10 Crunches
5 Pushups
7 Squats
30 Jumping Jacks
1 Minute Wall Sit
5 Pushups
25 High Knees
Repeat 3-5 for maximum results.
Workout 2: 4 Minute Workout
0:00- Squat Thrust
0:30- Mountain Climbers
1:00- High Knees
1:30- Jumping jacks
2:00- Squat Thrust
2:30- Mountain Climbers
3:00- High Knees
3:30- Jumping Jacks
4:00- Done
Workout 3: 30 minutes to a sleek physique
I've tried these workouts and they are all great ways to squeeze your daily workout into your packed schedule without feeling guilty. All you need is 20 minutes of exercise per day to keep up your health and fitness. If any of the above exercise names don't make sense or you aren't sure how to do them, the internet is a great place to find step-by-step breakdowns of each of the exercises listed above. These are worth the 30 minutes or less!

CONWAY, Ark. – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi baseball team had an offensive explosion Friday night, pounding out 14 hits on the way to a 13-2 win in seven innings over Central Arkansas to open the Southland Conference series. Marc Damon and Stafford Brantley each picked up their first home runs of the year to lead the team to victory.
The Islanders improved to 11-12 overall and 4-3 in Southland Conference games. The Bears fall to 8-10 on the year, 3-4 in league contests. Adam Hoelscher picked up the win, throwing six innings while giving up just one run on three hits, with six walks and three strikeouts to improve to 5-1 on the year.
Offensively, six different players had two hits on the way to tying a season high of 14 hits. The 13 runs were the most scored by the Islanders this year. Jeramie Marek, Drew Vest, Jonathan Gonzales, Dan Sciantarelli, Santiago Ruiz and Damon each had two hits apiece. Eric Weiss led the team with three RBI, while Brantley, Gonzales and Damon had the RBI each. Ruiz and Marek rounded out the scoring with one RBI each on the night.
After a scoreless first inning by both teams, the Islanders wasted little time getting things going in the second. After a leadoff fly out, Omar Garcia reached on a fielding error and came home to score on a Gonzales double to get his team on the board.
The very next pitch saw Damon slam a two-run home run over the left centerfield wall to make it a 3-0 score. After a Sciantarelli single through the infield, Ruiz followed with a double down the left field line that plated Sciantarelli to extend the lead.
Marek then reached on another error that scored Ruiz, and moved up to second on a Vest bunt single. With runners on first and second, Vest was picked off in order to allow Marek to score all the way from second for a 6-0 lead.
The score remained the same in the third when Kyle Danford drew a leadoff walk, and was sacrificed over to second base on a bunt by Garcia. That brought Gonzales to the plate, and he delivered his second RBI double of the game to make it a 7-0 score and force the Bears starter from the game.
UCA responded with a run in the bottom of the third as Hoelscher struggled with his control, walking three batters while giving up just one hit. He persevered through it and got out of the inning with the score at 7-1 in favor of the Islanders.
The Islanders added to the lead in the sixth inning with three straight singles to plate another run. Sciantarelli led of with a single to right center, and Ruiz followed with a single to the same spot to put runners on the corners. Marek drove Sciantarelli in with an infield single to the shortstop to make it 8-1.
After a bunt single to the pitcher by Vest loaded the bases, Weiss had a bases-clearing double to extend the advantage to 11-1 for the Islanders. After a fly out made it one away in the inning, Brantley smashed a 1-1 pitch over the right field wall to make it 13-1 on his first home run as an Islander.
UCA added a single run on three walks in the seventh, but it was not enough as the Islanders picked up the 13-2 victory in seven innings.
Tanner Green came on to get the final out of the game to clinch the opening win of the series.
The two teams are scheduled for a 4 p.m. game tomorrow afternoon, with Tim Keller facing Caleb McClanahan of UCA on the mound. The two teams will play a final game at 12 p.m. on Sunday as Daniel Minor and Ryan Angus get the start against each other.
Live stats and video will be available for each game by visiting www.UCAGameday.com.

South African soldiers injured in DRC attack
Mmanaledi Mataboge & Verashni Pillay
Violence continues in the eastern DRC after an attack from an armed group left three South African soldiers injured.
Mmanaledi Mataboge & Verashni Pillay
Violence continues in the eastern DRC after an attack from an armed group left three South African soldiers injured.
DRC soldiers are fighting off some 200 M23 rebels who are hiding after being ousted from their last stronghold.
As soldiers get wounded in fighting, the M23 rebel group says South Africa has been duped by DRC President Joseph Kabila.
United Nations sanctions experts have claimed soldiers from the DRC's neighbouring countries assisted M23 rebels in their offensive in Goma.
Nkandlagate is still in the news, Goma is captured by M23 rebels, there's something fishy about a certain tv commercial and Gaga touches down in SA.
Even if the M23 rebels leave Goma, as promised, their invasion is a threat to President Joseph Kabila.
The UN has called on foreign countries to stop meddling in the volatile region, and said M23 rebels have made no major moves to withdraw from Goma.
The strategic DRC city is a big prize for the rebel group March 23 (M23) , who have vowed to keep going to Kinshasa. Pete Jones reports from Goma.
The UN Security Council has voted unanimously to sanction the leaders of the M23 rebel force, which hours earlier occupied the DRC's city of Goma.
Rebels believed to be backed by Rwanda have claimed control of Goma in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
When Nigerian-American businessman Kase Lawal courted Thabo Mbeki in an oil deal South Africa got screwed. Now he is cosying up to Jacob Zuma.
Scientists found evidence of volcanic activity -- including tremors, pools of lava and plumes of smoke -- at two volcanoes near Goma in the DRC.
The government of the DRC and Tutsi rebels signed a peace deal on Monday under which the rebel movement is to change into a political party.
Rich Congolese mineral deposits are both the bounty and the curse of the war-torn nation, the seeds of recovery and the drivers of the bloody conflict
Rwandan troops crossed the border into eastern DRC on Tuesday under a December agreement between the two countries to hunt down Rwandan Hutu rebels.
Dissident commanders from the main rebel group in eastern DRC on Friday declared an end to the conflict in the troubled region.
Rebel National Congress for the Defence of the People forces led by renegade Tutsi general Laurent Nkunda have taken over the centre at Mabenga.
The government of the DRC and a rebel movement are to meet on Monday in Kenya to formalise a ceasefire, Kinshasa's foreign minister said on Friday.
Just a few hundred metres separate the army and rebels near Kibati in the DRC's volatile east, where hundreds cross the front line daily.
Rebels in eastern DRC have captured a new town in an area where they had clashed with pro-government rebels, the UN said on Friday.
