Renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma will lead UC Santa Barbara students in a master class next week that is being opened to the public free of charge.
Seats are expected to go quickly at the Lobero Theatre, 33 E. Canon Perdido St., and will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis for the event, which takes place on Tuesday at 11 a.m. Featured in the program are performances by Jacob Adams, on viola, and Katherine Mendenhall and Christopher Davis, on cello and piano, respectively.
With a discography of more than 75 albums, including more than 15 Grammy Award-winners, Ma is known throughout the world for his orchestral performances, recital work and educational programs. He began studying cello at age 4 and eventually attended the Julliard School and Harvard University. More information about the master class is available by calling 893-3535.
UCSB will stain you : 12/5/2009
Dear Mr. Ma,
Please consider canceling your master class for UCSB. There is no good excuse for you to associate with an unaccountable, unethical and unacceptable criminal mafia organization like UCSB. No university in the history of the World has more disgracefully failed to fulfill its responsibility to the human species and TRUTH more than UCSB. UCSB is utterly contemptible and its complete destruction is honorably justifiable. The UCSB women’s gymnastics coach, Mari Rae Sopper, was allegedly murdered aboard American Flight 77 when it allegedly crashed into the Pentagon on 9/11. Her mother, Marion Kminek, wrote a letter to the most eminent of UCSB faculty, including Nobel Laureates, Millennial Prize Winner and Chancellor, requesting their assistance in a call for an independent, fully funded and fully empowered 9/11 investigation. They responded with infinite cowardice by not responding at all. UCSB is a contemptible sewer of wretched cowardice. Please demand in independent, fully funded and fully empowered 9/11 investigation. TRUTH fears no question, investigation or trial. Only cowards and criminals fear TRUTH. Sincerely,
Neil Baker
Wow, you sound crazy : 12/7/2009
I think my subject title above says enough. I like your mafia theory though. Maybe if they were, they would actually have some money and would not be raising my tuition 32%.

Spread the good news---Neil sounds crazy but isn't! : 12/7/2009
If you live a lie, the TRUTH seems strange. Historically, TRUTH Sayers have not fared well. Relatively recently, in 1600, the crazy-sounding Giordano Bruno was burned at the stake in Rome for his support of heliocentric and infinite universe theories. The crazy-sounding Galileo was soon after found guilty of heresy for supporting the same theories, forced to recant and placed under house arrest for the remainder of his life. Ignaz Semmelweis, a Hungarian doctor was strangled by asylum guards after being declared insane for his increasingly agitated insistence that physicians wash their hands before performing operations on the living after performing autopsies on the dead. His statistical observations proved insufficient evidence and Louis Pasteur with his empirically-supported germ theory twenty years later would finally confirm the correctness of Semmelweis observations. One of the main founder’s of the Scientific Method, Francis Bacon, once observed that “the human mind is designed to deceive itself.” Mitochondrial DNA confirms that the homo sapiens species is only about 150,000 years old. For the vast majority of that time until very recently, most humans were slaves or serfs on a planet ruled by superstition, nature and severe mental psychosis. It is to be expected that many humans retain intellectual vestigial traits of slaves and serfs from whence they sprung but it can never be tolerated. I sound crazy and that’s a good thing because I’m not. I only sound like it in the same way others of the past sounded so when bravely pronouncing new TRUTH. My proposal for New California is radically magnificent in scale but technically modest and very possible. Only the most committed of criminals and cowards would argue against the TRUTH obtainable from an independent, fully funded and fully empowered 9/11 investigation. The TRUTH shall set us free.
