The procedures for the University Wide Committee on Sexual Misconduct can be found below. You may also click HERE to view and download the procedures document
Yale University is committed to maintaining and strengthening an educational, employment, and living environment founded on civility and mutual respect. Sexual misconduct is antithetical to the standards and ideals of our community, and it is a violation of Yale policy and the disciplinary regulations of Yale College and the Graduate and Professional Schools. Sexual misconduct will not be tolerated.
Sexual misconduct incorporates a range of behaviors including sexual assault (which includes rape, groping and any other non-consensual sexual contact), sexual harassment, intimate partner violence, stalking, and any other conduct of a sexual nature that is non-consensual, or has the purpose or effect of threatening or intimidating a person or persons. Sexual misconduct also includes a violation of Yale's Policy on Teacher-Student Consensual Relations. Yale aims to eradicate sexual misconduct through education, training, clear policies, and serious consequences for violations of these policies. In addition to being subject to University disciplinary action, sexual misconduct may lead to civil liability and criminal prosecution.
1. Authority of the UWC
The University-Wide Committee on Sexual Misconduct ("UWC") provides an accessible, representative, and trained body to answer informal inquiries and fairly and expeditiously address formal and informal complaints of sexual misconduct. Any current or former Yale faculty member, [1] trainee, student, or managerial or professional employee ("staff member" [2]) who wishes to bring a claim that he or she has been harmed as the result of sexual misconduct may bring a complaint to the UWC, so long as three conditions are met: First, the complaint must be filed within the time limits for bringing complaints set out in Sections 6 and 7.1 of these procedures. Second, the person accused of sexual misconduct must be a Yale faculty member, trainee, student, or staff member at the time the complaint is filed.[3] Third, the alleged misconduct must have occurred at a time when all parties were Yale faculty members, trainees, students, or staff members. Please note: Only students may bring complaints to the UWC against staff members,[4] and the UWC is not empowered to hear complaints made by or against members of Yale's collective bargaining units or excluded clerical and technical employees.[5]
The Title IX Coordinator of the University or any Yale School may bring a complaint to the UWC in three circumstances. First, a coordinator may bring a complaint on behalf of a person who is not a current or former member of the Yale community, so long as (i) the respondent is a current Yale faculty member, trainee, student, or staff member; (ii) the respondent was at Yale in one of these roles at the time of the alleged misconduct; and (iii) the events complained of occurred on the Yale campus or in connection with a Yale-sponsored event. Second, a coordinator may bring a complaint to the UWC alleging a violation of Yale's Policy on Teacher-Student Consensual Relations. Finally, a coordinator may bring a complaint when there is evidence that the University's policy on sexual misconduct has been violated and his or her intervention is needed to ensure that the matter reaches the UWC.
The UWC's authority is not exclusive. Where a Yale school retains its own formal or informal body for handling cases of sexual misconduct,[6] an individual may, at his or her discretion, file a complaint with the UWC or use a school's resolution mechanisms. An individual may bring an informal complaint to a school body or the UWC and then seek a formal hearing, but, once a school body or the UWC has agreed to hear a formal complaint, the individual may not seek a formal hearing before the other body. Similarly, once the UWC or the department of Human Resources agrees to hear a student's formal complaint against a staff member, the student may not move the complaint to another forum. The UWC will not entertain a new complaint if it has already adjudicated a formal complaint based on the same set of circumstances.[7]
Actions that are the source of complaints to the UWC may also violate criminal laws. The UWC will not delay its proceedings pending the outcome of a criminal investigation or other legal process. At the request of law enforcement authorities, the UWC may postpone fact-finding while the authorities are gathering evidence, but fact-finding will resume as soon as the authorities have finished that work.
Filing a complaint with the UWC is not a prerequisite to filing a complaint of discrimination with Connecticut's Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities, the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights, or any other state or federal agency, and seeking assistance from the UWC in no way precludes filing a state or federal discrimination complaint.
Yale encourages victims of sexual misconduct to contact the SHARE Center and the Yale or New Haven Police Departments in addition to seeking assistance from the UWC. The SHARE Center provides counseling and information to survivors of sexual violence and to those who have experienced other forms of sexual misconduct. SHARE counselors can guide and support individuals bringing complaints to the UWC.
2. Service on the UWC
2.1. Composition
The UWC consists of about 30 members. At least 17 members are drawn from faculty throughout the schools of the University; five are managerial or professional employees; and seven are students, including three students from Yale College and four from the graduate and professional schools. The chair is a tenured faculty member. The current UWC membership is posted on the Provost's website.
The secretary of the UWC organizes the Committee's activities, acts as a liaison with parties and the Yale community, and works with the chair to resolve informal complaints. In the case of a formal complaint, the secretary attends the hearing, and he or she may question the parties and participate in deliberations but may not vote.
2.2. Selection of Members
The deans of each school may nominate faculty members (of any rank) and managerial or professional employees for membership on the UWC. In the case of Yale College students, nominations by the Yale College Council will be submitted with appropriate supporting materials to the dean of Yale College, who will make his or her own recommendation to the provost. Similarly, the Graduate and Professional Student Senate will submit graduate and professional student nominations and supporting materials to the deans of the graduate and professional schools, who will make their own recommendation to the provost. The provost makes all final decisions regarding appointments.
2.3. Terms
Faculty members and managerial or professional employees are appointed to the UWC for terms of one year, which may be renewed. Student members are appointed to one- or two-year terms, depending on their availability and anticipated graduation dates. The chair is appointed to a three-year term. All members will be eligible for reappointment, with aggregate service capped at six years.
2.4. Training
All UWC members must participate in training. In addition, each year, returning UWC members must receive refresher training. Training topics include discussion of University resources for redress of sexual misconduct; sexual misconduct and equal employment, educational, and professional opportunity; methods of informal resolution; the interaction between University disciplinary processes and criminal processes; responding to retaliation; and other topics suggested by experts from within and outside the University.
3. Confidentiality and Honesty
The UWC and all members of the Yale community who are involved in a matter before the UWC are expected to maintain the confidentiality of its proceedings and the information obtained for those proceedings.[8] The Provost's Statement on the Confidentiality of UWC Proceedings elaborates on this expectation.
An individual who asks the UWC to address an informal complaint of sexual misconduct may request that the UWC keep the matter confidential from the accused or other persons involved in the events. In such a case, the UWC will take all reasonable steps to investigate and respond to the complaint consistent with that request. However, the UWC will not be able to hear a formal complaint unless the individual is willing to reveal the complaint (including his or her identity) to the accused party, the fact-finder, and the hearing panel (see Section 7, below). In some cases (for example, allegations of violence), the UWC may not be able to honor a request for confidentiality if doing so would endanger the safety or well-being of the complainant or other members of the Yale community. In addition, the University may not be able to preserve the complete confidentiality of UWC records in the event of litigation or a government investigation. Finally, an accused party may have access to sexual misconduct allegations that become part of his or her student record or personnel file, although in such cases the University will remove information identifying the complainant.
Parties and witnesses are expected to provide truthful information in all phases of a UWC proceeding. Failure to do so may result in a recommendation for a more severe penalty or a referral to an appropriate disciplinary authority.
4. Retaliation
Yale policy strictly forbids retaliation against individuals who report sexual misconduct, file complaints of sexual misconduct, cooperate in the investigation of sexual misconduct, or hear formal or informal complaints of sexual misconduct. The UWC processes set out here are available to an individual who believes that he or she has suffered retaliation for any of these actions. The rules governing the UWC's authority as described in Sections 1 and 7 also apply to retaliation complaints.
5. Advisers
A party may be accompanied by an adviser at any stage of any UWC process, but the adviser may not speak for the party during an interview with a fact-finder or during a formal hearing. An adviser may offer personal and moral support, before, during, and after a hearing, and help the student prepare for meetings related to a complaint. Unless the events complained of are under criminal investigation or are the subject of pending criminal charges, the adviser must be a member of the University community and may not be an attorney acting as the party's legal representative. If one party is entitled to an adviser acting as a legal representative, then the other party may also be accompanied by a legal representative.
6. Requests for Advice and the Resolution of Informal Complaints
An individual may ask questions about procedures, request advice (including whether certain behavior constitutes sexual misconduct), or seek resolution of an informal complaint by approaching a member of the UWC.[9] Before the UWC will accept an informal complaint, the chair, in consultation with the secretary and one other member, must determine that (i) the complainant and respondent meet the criteria set out in Section 1 above; (ii) the complaint, if substantiated, would constitute a violation of University policy concerning sexual misconduct; and (iii) at least one of the events complained of occurred during the 48 months before the complainant first contacted the UWC. The chair will be advised of all informal complaints brought to the UWC and will work with or assign other members of the UWC to resolve the complaint.
The UWC may offer an informal investigation, mediation, counseling, or other means of resolving the complaint. The UWC may also recommend interim measures to support and protect the complainant.[10] In all cases, the UWC will inform the individual bringing the complaint that participation in an informal resolution is voluntary and that he or she may end the informal process at any time and either choose to bring a formal complaint or choose not to further pursue the matter through the UWC. In some cases (for example allegations of violence), the University may pursue an investigation of sexual misconduct, even if the complainant chooses not to pursue the matter further.
7. Formal Complaint Process
7.1. Filing of Complaint; Notice to the Respondent; Withdrawal
An individual may bring a formal complaint either without seeking an informal resolution or after attempting an informal resolution through the UWC or another Yale body. To initiate a formal complaint, an individual must submit a written statement to the chair[11] naming the respondent and describing the events and circumstances underlying the complaint.[12] The complaint may be supplemented by additional supporting documents or evidence. The chair, in consultation with the secretary and one other member, will decide whether (i) the complainant and respondent meet the criteria set out in Section 1 above; (ii) the complaint, if substantiated, would constitute a violation of University policy concerning sexual misconduct; and (iii) at least one of the events complained of occurred during the 24 months before the complainant first brought a formal or informal complaint about the events.[13] The UWC will not hear formal complaints that do not meet these criteria. If a complaint is denied a hearing, the chair will explain the denial in writing to the individual who filed the complaint.[14]
If the complaint will be heard, the secretary will inform the respondent in writing that a formal complaint has been filed and will be heard by the UWC. The secretary's letter will include the complaint, any documents accompanying the complaint, and references to the applicable Yale policy on sexual misconduct, these procedures, and any other relevant Yale procedures. The letter will also set a deadline five days later by which the respondent may submit a written response to the secretary. The response, like the complaint, may be supplemented by additional supporting documents or evidence. The secretary will forward the response and any accompanying documents to the complainant.
The secretary will inform the respondent's dean (in the case of a faculty member, student, or trainee) or supervisor (in the case of a staff member) and the cognizant Title IX coordinator(s) that a formal complaint has been filed. The Title IX coordinator(s) with responsibility for the parties will recommend appropriate interim measures, including measures to protect and support the complainant. University officials are expected to cooperate in implementing those recommendations.[15]
The complainant may, at any time before the day scheduled for the hearing, request in writing to the Secretary that the complaint be withdrawn. The chair, in consultation with the secretary and one other member, will consider whether the request is fully voluntary and whether the interests of the Yale community would be better served by hearing the complaint. If the chair decides to hear a complaint despite a request for withdrawal, the complainant will not be required to participate in the hearing. The chair's decision whether to approve or deny the request is final.
7.2. Appointment of Hearing Panel
The chair will appoint a hearing panel of five UWC members and will appoint one of these members as the panel chair. The hearing panel will not include any member who has participated in an informal effort to resolve the same complaint. The panel members and the decision maker (as defined in Section 7.5) will receive a copy of the complaint and response and must withdraw from the proceedings if their relationship to a party or other circumstances lead them to believe that they cannot judge the matter fairly.
The secretary will send a notice to the parties, providing the names of the panel members and the decision maker and informing them of their right to object to the participation of a panel member or decision maker. The objection must be in writing to the secretary and received within two days of the date of the notice, and it must state the party's grounds for believing the panel member or decision maker is incapable of fairly judging the matter. The chair will decide whether an objection is justified, and that decision is final. When necessary, the chair will select a replacement panel member, and the person who would normally hear an appeal under Section 7.7 will act as the decision maker. Parties will have an opportunity to object to any panel member selected as a replacement.
7.3. Fact-Finder; Witnesses
Within seven days of receiving the complaint, the chair will appoint an impartial fact-finder from outside the University to assist in the investigation of the case. The secretary will provide the fact-finder with the complaint, the response, and any other information provided by the parties. The fact-finder will gather documents and conduct interviews as necessary to reach a thorough understanding of the facts and circumstances surrounding the allegations of the complaint. [16]
Within 21 days of his or her appointment, the fact-finder will present a written report to the secretary. The report will describe the relevant facts and circumstances and may address the credibility of witnesses but will not reach conclusions as to whether those facts and circumstances constitute a violation of University policy. After reviewing the report, the chair may request clarifications and additional investigation. When the report is complete, the secretary will send a copy to the parties with the date and location of the hearing.
The complaint and response, all documents relating to the complaint and response (whether provided by the parties or obtained by the fact-finder), and the fact-finder's report will be provided to the hearing panel. The hearing panel will not accept from the parties any written response to the fact-finder's report or any additional documents, except as explained in Section 7.4 below. If a party believes the panel should interview witnesses, he or she must submit to the secretary the names of the witnesses and the subject of their testimony at least three days before the hearing. Normally, the panel will call a witness only if he or she can offer potentially relevant information that was not conveyed to the fact-finder. Witnesses may not appear for the sole purpose of testifying about a party's character.
7.4. Hearing
The hearing will take place no sooner than seven days following submission of the fact-finder's final report to the secretary. Unless both parties ask to appear jointly, the complainant and the respondent will not appear jointly before the panel at any stage of the hearing. The party who is not before the committee will be in a private room with audio access to the proceedings.
The hearing is intended primarily to allow the panel to interview the parties with respect to the fact-finder's report. The panel chair will begin the hearing by explaining the substance of the complaint and the specific University policy or policies allegedly violated. The complainant and then the respondent may make a statement to the panel, and they may provide a written copy of their statements to the panel at the hearing. (The panel will provide a copy of any written statement it receives to the other party.) Following these statements, the panel will interview the complainant and then the respondent. At its sole discretion, the panel may request the testimony of additional witnesses.[17] Witnesses, including the parties, will be questioned by the panel only, but each party will be given an opportunity to submit questions, which the panel, at its sole discretion, may choose to ask.
The panel may examine and take into account reports and evidence collected by law enforcement bodies or other investigators. In determining culpability, the panel may also take into account a respondent's previous formal discipline for other acts of sexual misconduct, including written reprimands, and the respondent's criminal conviction arising out of the events complained of. The panel may not take into account as evidence of culpability previous accusations of other acts of sexual misconduct that did not result in formal discipline or the mere fact that a criminal investigation or prosecution is pending in relation to the events complained of.
7.5. Recommendation
Following the hearing, the panel will consider whether the respondent has violated University policy, giving an affirmative answer if it is satisfied that a violation has been shown by a preponderance of the evidence. The panel will reach its decision by a majority vote and by secret ballot. Panel members may not abstain. If a party is found to have violated University policy, the panel will recommend a penalty. The secretary will inform the panel about the nature of previous penalties assessed for similar violations. The secretary will also describe any formal Yale discipline previously imposed on the respondent, and the panel may consider this prior discipline in its decision regarding a penalty. The panel will again reach its decision by a majority vote and by secret ballot, with no abstentions allowed. The panel's recommendation may also include remedies other than or in addition to a penalty.[18]
Within seven days of the final hearing session, the panel will complete a report, setting out its findings of fact, its conclusion as to whether or not those facts constitute a violation of University policy, and its recommended penalty, if any. The secretary will forward the report to the parties [19] and to the relevant decision maker: (i) the provost if the respondent is a faculty member; (ii) the dean of the respondent's school if the respondent is a trainee or student; or (iii) the associate vice president for Human Resources if the respondent is a staff member. The parties may submit to the decision maker a written response to the panel's report within three days of receiving it. [20] On the basis of his or her own concerns or concerns raised in a response to the report, the decision maker may ask the panel to re-examine or clarify findings of fact. If necessary, the panel may submit a revised report. The decision maker will then accept the panel's findings of fact, but he or she may accept, reject, or modify the panel's conclusions or recommendations, in whole or in part. The final decision whether to impose a penalty belongs to the Provost, in the case of a faculty member; the dean, in the case of a trainee or student; and the associate vice president for human resources, in the case of a staff member. If the decision maker modifies or rejects some or all of the panel's conclusions or recommendations, he or she will explain the decision to the panel in writing. The decision maker will render his or her decision in writing within 14 days of the final hearing session.
The Secretary will send written notice of the decision and the penalty imposed [21], if any, to the parties, the members of the panel, the chair, and the University's Title IX Coordinator.
7.6. Penalties
A UWC hearing panel may recommend penalties up to and including expulsion from the University or termination of University employment, as discussed in applicable faculty, trainee, student, and staff policies and regulations.
7.7. Appeals
Any party may appeal the decision of the decision maker regarding a complaint. An appeal from the provost's decision regarding a faculty member is made to the president; an appeal from a dean's decision regarding a trainee or student is made to the provost; and an appeal from the associate vice president for human resources' decision regarding a staff member is made to the vice president for human resources and administration. The appeal must be in writing and received by the secretary within five days of the decision. The only grounds for appeal are (i) procedural error that prevented the hearing panel or the decision maker from judging the matter fairly, or (ii) the discovery of facts that were not reasonably available to the appealing party prior to the UWC hearing and that support or refute the allegation of sexual misconduct.
The secretary will provide a copy of the appeal to the other party. If the other party wishes to respond, he or she must do so in writing to the president, the provost, or the vice president within five days after receiving the appeal. Within 14 days after receiving the appeal, the president, provost, or vice president will provide a written appeal decision to the parties. If the appeal is granted, the matter will be returned to the hearing panel for reconsideration. In his or her decision, the president, provost, or vice president may give the hearing panel instructions regarding the nature and extent of its reconsideration. The hearing panel will act promptly to reconsider the matter and will issue a revised report to the decision maker. The decision maker will promptly issue a new decision, which is not subject to appeal. [22]
7.8. Time Periods
For ease of reference, the following is a list of time periods that apply to the review of a formal complaint:
- The secretary must receive a response, if any, to the complaint within five days after the complaint is delivered to the respondent.
- The secretary must receive the parties' objections, if any, to panel members within two days after the parties' receipt of the members' names.
- The chair must appoint a fact-finder within seven days after receiving the complaint.
- The secretary must receive the fact-finder's final report within 21 days after the fact-finder's appointment.
- The hearing may begin no sooner than seven days after the secretary's receipt of the fact-finder's final report.
- The secretary must receive a list of each party's witnesses, if any, at least three days before the hearing.
- The panel must submit its report within seven days after the final hearing session.
- The parties must submit a response, if any, to the report within three days after receiving it.
- The decision of the provost, dean or associate vice president must be rendered within 14 days after the final hearing session.
- The president, provost, or vice president must receive an appeal, if any, within five days after the initial decision.
- The president, provost, or vice president must receive a response, if any, to an appeal within five days after the opposing party's receipt of the appeal.
- The president, provost, or vice president must render a written decision on the appeal within 14 days after receiving it.
Normally, the formal complaint process should take about 60 days. In instances where a time period set out in Section 7 cannot be met because of illness, holidays, the absence of witnesses from campus, the complexity of the case, or competing demands on UWC members or decision makers, the chair may extend that time period. The parties will be informed by the secretary or chair if a time period is extended, and the chair's decision regarding extensions will be final.
8. Recordkeeping
The secretary keeps and retains records of the UWC's proceedings, storing them in a secure place. The secretary will retain records of (i) all complaints received by the UWC; (ii) all actions taken by the UWC in response to informal complaints; (iii) all supplementary documents and evidence received by the UWC in relation to a formal complaint; (iv) all fact-finder reports; (v) minutes from each UWC hearing session [23]; (vi) the report of the hearing panel; (vii) the written notice of the decision maker's decision; and (viii) appeals and decisions regarding appeals.
The Title IX coordinators and the secretary will summarize each formal and informal complaint of sexual misconduct that they receive and the resolution of those complaints, and they will submit the summaries to the University Title IX Coordinator as soon as possible after each complaint is resolved. The summaries will contain sufficient information to allow the University Title IX Coordinator to assess Yale's compliance with the requirements of Title IX. Each January and July, the University Title IX Coordinator will publish a statistical abstract of the handling of sexual misconduct complaints at Yale, including a list of disciplinary actions. These abstracts will include no information that would reveal the identities of the parties.
Last updated: August 20, 2013
[1] In these procedures, the term "faculty member" should be understood to include persons teaching at Yale, even if they are not formally members of the faculty.
[2] The term "staff member," as used in these procedures, includes all Yale employees who are not faculty members, members of a Yale collective bargaining unit, clerical and technical employees excluded from the bargaining units, casual or temporary employees, or student employees.
[3] A Yale faculty member, trainee, student, or staff member who believes that he or she has been harmed by the sexual misconduct of a person not affiliated with Yale (for example, a visitor to campus or the employee of a Yale contractor) may contact the Title IX Coordinator of the University or a School.
[4] Others who wish to file a complaint against a staff member may contact the Title IX Coordinator of the University or a School, a union representative, a Human Resources Generalist, or the Office for Equal Opportunity Programs. Students who do not wish to use the UWC procedures may instead contact a Title IX Coordinator, a Human Resources Generalist, or the Office for Equal Opportunity Programs.
[5] Complaints of sexual misconduct against members of the collective bargaining units or excluded staff may be brought to the Title IX coordinator of the University or a School, a union representative, a Human Resources Generalist, or the Office for Equal Opportunity Programs.
[6] Only the Yale Law School retains its own body for hearing formal complaints of sexual misconduct.
[7] A formal UWC hearing may conclude that a respondent's actions do not violate Yale's policies on sexual misconduct, but those same actions may still violate a school's standards of behavior and may be the subject of School proceedings, so long as the school bases its proceedings on the facts found by the UWC.
[8] Under federal law, a complainant alleging certain types of sex offenses has a right to be informed of the outcome of disciplinary proceedings arising from his or her complaint, and Yale may not impose non-disclosure requirements on the complainant in regard to that information.
[9] The names and e-mail addresses of the UWC members can be found on the Office of the Provost website.
[10] Some examples of interim measures include providing an escort for the complainant; ensuring that the respondent has no contact with the complainant; providing counseling or medical services; providing academic support, such as tutoring; and arranging for the complainant to re-take a course or withdraw from a class without penalty, including ensuring that any changes do not adversely affect the complainant's academic record.
[11] Should the chair be unable to address a complaint because of a relationship to a party or other circumstances, the provost will appoint another member of the UWC to assume the chair's role.
[12] A single case may involve more than one complainant and/or more than one respondent. The singular is used throughout this section for convenience only.
[13] For the purposes of this determination, when a Title IX coordinator brings a complaint, he or she will be considered the complainant.
[14] Complex cases may combine allegations of sexual misconduct and other offenses, and the UWC may not be the only University body with authority to hear a complaint. In such cases, the UWC will retain jurisdiction over all charges of sexual misconduct, and other charges will be heard according to the circumstances of each case. In some cases, for example, the UWC may hear all charges, and, in other cases, a different decision-making body may decide the charges that do not relate to sexual misconduct. In cases involving multiple types of charges, the chair of the UWC will consult with the official responsible for the other relevant body and together they will determine the appropriate forum. If there is disagreement about the appropriate forum or manner in which to hear a case, the provost will make the final decision.
[15] See footnote 10 for examples of interim measures that may be taken.
[16] In cases involving sexual violence, if the fact-finder or panel chooses to consider medical or laboratory evidence, that consideration should include a trained forensic examiner's written opinion or testimony. Neither the fact-finder nor the panel may review documents or hear testimony covered by a legal privilege (for example, psychiatric patient records and attorney-client communications).
[17] If a Title IX coordinator has brought a complaint on behalf of a person who is not a current or former member of the Yale community, the panel must hear that person's testimony, if he or she wishes to appear.
[18] See footnote 10 for examples of non-disciplinary remedies.
[19] Complainants are always entitled to receive the panel's findings of fact and conclusions regarding culpability, and complainants are always entitled to know the recommended penalty if the penalty would affect them directly (for example, if it is recommended that the respondent not be permitted to approach the complainant or that the respondent be suspended). However, in some cases, federal and state law may restrict the panel's ability to share its recommendations with the complainant if the recommended penalty would not affect the complainant directly. In those cases, the secretary will remove the recommendations from the report and explain to the complainant why it was necessary to do so.
[20] Except for this response, neither the parties nor their representatives may communicate with a decision maker about a pending case.
[21] As discussed in footnote 19, the complainant will not receive notice of the penalty in some cases.
[22] If the provost or dean rejects some or all of the conclusions or recommendations contained in the panel's post-appeal report, he or she will explain that decision to the panel in writing, just as he or she would under Section 7.5. If the decision maker rejects the panel's initial conclusions or recommendations, and then rejects the panel's post-appeal conclusions or recommendations, authority to render a final decision on the matter will be transferred to the president, provost, or vice president, as appropriate.
[23] The minutes of a UWC hearing consist of a protocol annotated to indicate the time at which each phase of the process started and ended. The minutes do not record statements, testimony, or questions.

Sparkling attirePosted by Lawrence Dillon in Uncategorized
Ten years ago, a group of Brooklyn composers formed a new music ensemble called Forecast. Their MO was putting together performances of new music in galleries and clubs and places like Galapagos just a little bit before such things became trendy. Last year, Eric Schwartz, one of the founding members of Forecast, moved the band to North Carolina, and Thursday night they'll play at The Garage, a downtown bar and artist hangout. They are doing music by composers from around the region, including the premiere of my Sparkling in the Dark for soprano sax, bassoon and electronics. Also on the program, The Horror Show, Violin Bonkers and Witchcraft Recipes #5c. Obviously just another staid and stuffy Classical music concert.
The other composers involved, beside Eric and me, are Michael Burns, Mark Engebretson, Kenneth Frazelle and Alejandro Rutty. At this point, the six of us are navigating the logistics of stage setup, rehearsal time and concert order, as a result of which I just had the strange pleasure of putting the words "Sparkling Dress" in my calendar for the first (but hopefully not the last) time.
Thursday night, 8 pm – gown optional.

Embryonic studies clearly demonstrate that MyoD and Myf5 are required for specification of the myogenic lineage. Moreover, MyoD plays an essential role in initiating expression of myogenin and inducing differentiation. However, the factors and mechanisms which temporally regulate expression of myogenic genes are not fully understood. Furthermore, the controversy of whether cell cycle withdrawal precedes induction of MyoD transcriptional activity, or MyoD activity induces cell cycle withdrawal, still exist. In this thesis, I demonstrate that although MyoD transcriptional activity is regulated by cell cycle regulators, such as pRb, cdk4 and cyclin D 1, these molecules are functioning in a cell cycle-independent manner. In addition, MyoD regulates cell cycle progression, and more specifically S-phase entry, by regulating the stability of cyclin E. Moreover, MyoD regulates expression of cyclin Dl indirectly by modulating activation of NF-lCB. Importantly, I demonstrate how the E-protein, HEB, regulates myogenic gene expression in an isoform-specific, MRF-specific, and promoterspecific manner. In the absence of HEB, MyoD is unable to effectively induce expression of myogenin, and differentiation is inhibited. Therefore, ubiquitously expressed factors, such as pRb and HEB, are able to regulate the restricted pattern of gene expression in myogenic differentiation.

2012 DECEMBER 21 AND BEYOND-WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN ! (best of-compilation of important informations)
- SterlingRose

Experts on the subject (scientists and others) give us important information about what should happen after December 21, 2012 and beyond ...
December 21, 2012 is not the end of the world, but the end of the world as we know it, for a new world, a new era.
We can realize that the final "Apocalypse" (which in greek mean "revelation") (we are in it since a few years) mentioned in the bible, coincides with the end of Mayan calendar and prophecies of various ancient civilizations whose knowledge were very advanced.
We can also realize that all these prophecies information and scientific data, all converge to the same date, there is no hazard.
the Event that will occur from this date is called in various ways depending on the source: Awakening, revelation, the shift, ascension, zero point, window of opportunity, The Coming Singularity, the return of the gods ... etc.

This has of course been debunked, but i suspect we'll keep hearing about it, since it is one of the main tenets of new age doctrine. We've come to the point now where our children are told to be tolerant when reading that Billy has two Daddies, but those same people will burn your house down if you try to expose those same children to the Ten Commandments. If you really believe your "vibration" is increasing, its probably because you are too close to a cell phone tower, or you are drinking too much caffeine... if has nothing to do with our crossing the galactic plane. Its not an awakening... its just a mass marketing of gibberish.

Bob Morman of MDU added that gas prices last winter were relatively low, "so this year it seems like a big increase."
Joining Petrie and Morman on the panel were Kimberley Sapp of
the Department of Public Services in Powell, Ivan Williams of the
Wyoming Office of Consumer Advocate and several representatives from
Montana-Dakota Utilities and Rocky Mountain Power.
Sapp said her office has information on the state's Low Income
Energy Assistance Program, which can help low-income residents pay
heating bills, and in some situations, assist in weatherization. She
said residents could contact her office for help.
Petrie gave information about other programs, including Wyoming Energy Share and Wyoming Energy savers.
Morman and Dave Moser of Rocky Mountain Power told the audience
about programs their companies are establishing to help residents save
Members of the audience asked questions about the cost of gas,
including why gas produced in Wyoming is sent out of state, and whether
gas is imported into Wyoming.
Petrie explained that Wyoming imports little gas, but the price
still is determined by the world market. Gas produced in Wyoming,
unless it is produced on state-owned lands, does not belong to the
state, but to the companies that produced it, and those companies have
the right to sell it for the market price.
In the past, Petrie said, capacity to transport Wyoming gas out
of the area was limited and Wyoming consumers received a break, but
that situation has changed.
Morman said Wyoming produces more gas than is used in the state,
so gas is exported, but gas in Wyoming is cheaper than most parts of
the country.
Petrie explained how the Public Service Commission regulates
utility rates, and told the audience that the utilities "don't usually
get (the full increases) they ask for."
However, he said, the commission is obligated to allow utilities to pass on increases in the cost of gas.
"If they can't pass through the cost of gas, they'll be out of business in no time," Petrie said.
Williams added that utility companies have to follow rules when
setting rates and asking authorization for rate changes. Utilities are
allowed a fair rate of return, and rates cannot exceed that rate of
Morman said MDU buys gas from approximately 20 suppliers to
obtain the best price, and the company purchases and stores gas in the
summer when it is cheaper to help offset the higher costs in the
winter. However, he noted that summer use is rising as industry turns
to natural gas to generate electricity rather than burning coal, and,
as a result, gas is more expensive in the summer.
MDU is sensitive to prices, Morman said, because the company
faces competition from other sources of heat, such as wood pellets.
In answer to a concern that it is difficult to find a qualified
person to do an energy audit of one's home, Petrie said that is a
concern in Wyoming, and his office has had a difficult time finding a
person to audit the commission's offices in Cheyenne. He said it was
beyond the commission's statutory powers to provide such auditors, but
said some energy companies might provide that service.
"We hope you'll call us and we'll work with you to find where those resources are," Petrie said.
Mark Hanson of MDU said people should be prepared for higher
prices, and said the company will provide assistance if they are having
difficulty paying bills.
"At least call MDU," Hanson said. "We work with customers all the time."
In addition, Petrie said people should pass on information about
energy programs to family members, friends, neighbors and others.
"Get them pointed in the right direction," Petrie said.
Are you eligible?
With home heating costs likely to be much higher this winter than last, low-income Wyoming residents may need assistance paying their bills, and a state program can provide that help.
The Low Income Energy Assistance Program, administered by the Department of Family Services, was established to help low-income families who are experiencing difficulty paying the costs of heating. Priority is given to the elderly, the disabled and families with children under 16.
Eligibility for the program is based on household size and income.
The program can help pay bills for a household's primary heating source, but not for other heat sources. For example, it may help pay the gas bill if the home's primary source of heat is a gas furnace, but cannot pay the cost of operating supplemental electric space heaters in the home. In addition, the program cannot pay your electric bill if the heating source is included in the rent.
Kimberly Sapp, of the Department of Family Services office in Powell, said applications for assistance are available from her office but must be submitted to the LIEAP eligibility office in Laramie.
Sapp said her office can assist in determining eligibility and filling out the forms, and will fax the forms to the Laramie office for applicants.
Anyone who applies for assistance through the program also is applying for CRISIS and Weatherization assistance.
All approved LIEAP applications are forwarded to the Weatherization office, which will contact the applicant for an appointment to arrange an audit and may provide assistance in weatherizing the home to reduce energy use.
The CRISIS program assists individuals in specific instances, such as paying deposits, needing money for fuel, having no heat due to furnace problems, receipt of disconnect or shut-off notices or paying back bills. CRISIS assistance may be applied for at the time application is made or residents may call the LIEAP office for assistance later in the season.
Sapp said Family Services hopes to spread the word about LIEAP so more eligible residents apply.
"The more who apply, the better," Sapp said. "There are so many people who struggle with heating bills, and they just don't know about the program that can help them."
Applications were mailed in August to households who participated in the program last year. Those who did not may call the eligibility office toll free at 800-246-4221 to request an application packet. The Department of Family Services office in Powell also has application forms, and forms also are available online at dfsweb.state.wy.us/lieap/lieap.html.

Will Smith's Massive Trailer Upsets Manhattan Residents
Will Smith's trailer on the set of "Men In Black 3" is a modest home away from home… Just a nice, quiet place to chill in between takes….Actually it is a $2 million, 1,150-square-foot rig. It's 53 feet long, has 22 wheels and weighs about 30 tons. He's renting it for $9,000 a week. Beyond being massive, it's packed with features:
marble floors
a lounge and bar
a movie room with a 100-inch screen
an all-granite bathroom, a large bedroom
offices for Will's assistants and writing staff.
In addition to the main trailer, Will is also renting a 55-foot trailer with a full gym inside!
[nggallery id=61]
Sounds awesome, right?! Well, I'm sure it is…for Will. But the residents in Manhattan, where the movie is filming are not so impressed. One resident said,
"The smell that comes along with it is disgusting. It's like living in a gas station."
Another one said,
"How would Will Smith feel if I parked that thing out in front of his house? People forget this is a residential neighborhood, not a film lot."
Last night, the producers said the trailer had been moved to private property.

Not too long ago, we brought you news about one of Samsung's eye candy features being successfully ported to the Epic 4G Touch's Jelly Bean leaks FL16 and GA10. Regardless of how useless this is in terms of device functionality, one cannot brush aside the fact that a lot of work went into the porting process and reverse engineering of device specific code. The amount of work put by all the devs involved was substantial, and anyone who had followed the development thread could attest to that. Now, the challenge is complete and in order to have it installed, the only thing anyone would need to do is flash the zip file through recovery and presto! 18 shades of color are automagically added to your ROM. However, if you are here for the journey as opposed to the destination, then you might enjoy what XDA Recognized Contributor tdunham has prepared for you.
As you have seen in recent days, tdunham has been hard at work writing up and putting together guides on how to manually add your own mods to your JB ROMs on the E4GT. As stated earlier, this is a great way for anyone to learn and get dirty into the huge world of Android modding. The guide revolves around having to modify android.policy.jar and secsettings.apk, much as what was the case for the previous tutorials. However, due to the complexity of this particular mod (and the pre-requisite of having other mods before this one), the guide is a little more involved than others. Tdunham not only explains how to enable this mod, but also explains how to add up to 18 colors for the effect. Keep in mind also that the work involved in this guide involves smali edits, which has been described by many as a "spawn from hell". So, make sure that you know what you are getting into before proceeding. There is no harm in doing a little bit of research before diving into this. You know… just in case.
Since all this is done out of your phone, there is little risk involved. However, once you are done and ready to flash your mod, make sure that you make a back up since there is a chance for messing things up and your phone going into a bootloop, which would likely force you to reflash your ROM. Again, this is a great way to get involved into coding and Android modding. Please make sure that you understand this and happy learning!
Ripple effect must already be enabled for this mod to work.
This mod is pretty complex and requires a good deal of tedious work.

For many people out there, ROM files are nothing but a black box full of fun and surprises awaiting to rejuvenate their devices. Depending on the phone manufacturer, you may see the ROM files in the form of zip files, which are normally flashed through recovery and are the preferred format by many devs on XDA. However, there are times where the files will not be in a recovery-flashable format, but must come packed in a different type of black box. This is the case for Samsung devices in general. More often than not, the updates from Samsung will come packaged in tar format, that can only be flashed through programs like Odin, Heimdall, and Mobile Odin. These packages contain all of the goodies that we crave, but they are slightly more complicated to crack open than regular zip files. Since we cannot always wait on a dev having the time to turn the tar files into usable ROMs or to extract things from them, XDA Recognized Contributor rwilco12 has decided to put together a guide to help people get what they want out of tar files whenever they want to.
The dev starts off by saying that one of the easiest ways to go about doing this is via dsixda's kitchen, but since there are people out there who like more manual approaches, he has been kind enough to provide a guide that does not require said approach and can be done directly from a Windows environment. Steps are relatively simple to follow, and are required to have a few programs for your PC before getting started, namely 7-zip (or some WinZip-like utility), DiskInternals Linux Reader, and SGS2Ext4. The links for all of these have been provided in the thread, and they are all free. The process (in a nutshell) involves unpacking the tar and turning it into an image file (.img). From that point on, the .img gets turned into .ext4.img and then mounted via DiskInternals. You should then see a virtual drive on the PC, which will have this image mounted. From this point onward, you can navigate through the internal directories of the file and simply picking and choosing the files, apps, and any other goodies that you want to extract.
Again, this is a simple process that is further simplified by using a kitchen like dsixda's (and in fact, the method itself is similar to what the kitchen does). However, getting down and dirty with not-so automated processes is one of the best possible ways to learn how to do something. Teach a man how to fish, if you will. We hope this helps those of you trying to learn proper development. Please post any feedback you may have.
I've received a TON of PM's and emails asking how to do this and I've decided to do a write-up for everyone.

There is no better feeling than making your own device, truly your own. The way we do this at XDA is by tweaking the daylights out of it. However, there is more to life than simply installing APKs or flashing zip files through recovery. There is a far more rewarding process in tweaking your device, and that comes from the joy of doing things oneself. If not for the eye candy pleasure provided, it is great for the sake of learning how to do something new. But, wait! Where to start? Android files are numerous, large, and require a certain skill set to master and modify, right? Well, yes, but luckily we have people like XDA Recognized Contributor tdunham who can definitely lend a hand during the learning process.
In this particular instance, the dev shared a way to enable the AOSP lockscreen on the Epic 4G Touch (running Jelly Bean leaks). Because most manufacturers like putting their own flavor on their devices, it is highly unlikely (with a few exceptions) that you will purchase a device that comes with a stock Android lock screen, and Samsung is no exception. The guide that the dev has posted will allow you to see and understand what code is used to enable the missing, infamous AOSP lockscreen to the device's already wide arsenal of eye pleasing effects. This is particularly useful if you like the stock ROM and really don't feel like flashing to AOSP ROMs. And again, the end result is that you get the look that you want and leave a more knowledgeable individual at the end of the process.
What are you waiting for? Get the tools needed to decompile the required files (namely android.policy.jar and secsettings.apk), put on a fresh carafe on your Mr. Coffee machine, and let your hungry curiosity take over. Remember that you will need certain tools to do this (other than coffee), so make sure that you are ready. Please share your experiences and any tricks you may have learned along the way.

Often times, we tend to find stock ROMs for our devices boring, outdated, and more often than not, lacking tons of basic (basic for us anyway) functionality. Being who we are and our somewhat colorful history of tinkering with things, we tend to improve these stock ROMs by adding new features. The problem with this habit, pretty much ever since Android was introduced, is that the mods done for one OS tend to not work for the next. (While this was also the case for Windows Mobile, at least most mods worked well across ROMs and devices unless there was a significant version change in the OS such as going from WM5 to WM6.) So, how do we make sure that the knowledge about doing something like this remains alive and well? Simple, you teach a man how to fish, and that is exactly what XDA Recognized Contributor tdunham has done with his latest set of contributions to the site.
Adding items to the power menu has been around since the WM days, so this is not a new mod by any means. However, the way it is implemented into ROMs is often times different when jumping from OS version to OS version. In this particular case, the existing mods that could easily be found on most custom GB and ICS Roms for the Epic 4G Touch were rendered useless (the flashable mods, anyways). However, not only has tdunham provided the mods for the new JB leaks, but he has taken things a step further and decided to write a guide on how to add the code yourself! He goes into good detail as far as what lines of code need to be added where in framework-res.apk and android.policy.jar. Last but not least, the guide also shows how to remove unwanted items from the menu as well. So, if you wanted to get rid of the "take screenshot" option, now you can.
Please do keep in mind that you will need to know how to open, edit, decompile, and recompile these files in order to modify them. There are various guides throughout the site and tools that can aid you in this. If nothing else, Google is always your friend. Please leave some feedback on the thread and share what you have done so that others can learn as well.
This will allow you to have Recovery and Bootloader (download mode) right in the Power Menu selections.

More often than not, a new device will come out, impressing people left, right, and center with lots of eye candy, special features, and innovative concepts. Being the type of people we are, we want to have all this, but without really having to dump more cash on top of a new device. After all, not having a fancy launcher on your S4 loaded smartphone shouldn't mean that you have to buy yet another device just to satisfy your cravings for the aforementioned eye candy, particularly when your device should be (in theory) perfectly capable of handling all you throw at it. These are the times when devs step up to the plate and do what they do best: hack the daylights out of our devices to get things going.
This is the story of a new feature lock screen effect introduced by Samsung in their 2012 line up. The TouchWiz stock lock screen for Jelly Bean ROMs can be heavily customized to allow for several features such as sensor actions, shortcut icons (a la Sense), and other visual effects such as a water ripple and an ink effect that show up upon touching the screen. Both of these are normally found in Galaxy Note 2 JB ROMs, and despite some similarities, unfortunately they are not found in their older device counterparts. As of the leaked JB ROM known as FK23 for the Epic 4G Touch, XDA Forum Member _dan was able to get the water ripple effect working by modifying several files in the framework. Taking the lead from this, and upon people requesting it (as well as sheer curiosity by others), XDA Forum Members evo3d6 and Stryke_the_Orc set out on a trip to port yet another one of those appealing visual effects, the ink effect. After advancing the work and getting things going, both of the aforementioned were almost successful in getting the effect working but were missing something. Thanks to the help from XDA Recognized Contributor tdunham and _dan, the missing pieces of the puzzle were found, and the ink effect was successfully ported over.
Installation is rather straight forward, and it is available for FL16 andg GA10 leaks of JB. Simply place the packs in your SD card and flash via recovery. The devs are continually improving this pack. For instance, the newer version is loaded with 18 colors to choose from! One word of advise though is that the ripple effect must be active in order for the ink effect to work. Remember to make a back up just in case something happens.
GA10/FL16 Stock Ink Effect Mod
(This mod is for deodexed roms only)
Ripple mod & toggle included. It won't work without it.
Source decompiled files included. Devs use Winmerge to diff the files if you want to use this elsewhere.

When there's mention of custom recoveries for Android, ClockworkMod is one of the first names that comes to mind. In the past, we had AmonRa recovery, which still retains several faithful followers. Lately, TWRP has emerged as another excellent custom recovery that many have started to favor over CWM due to a larger feature set and killer interface.
COT (Cannibal Open Touch) is a new recovery aiming to bring some of the best features from other options in a single package. The project comes courtesy of XDA Forum Members Drew Walton (Project Head), thenameisnigel, and Sblood86.
The current feature list of COT includes:
COT recovery v2.1 is currently available for the following devices:
Development is planned to bring COT recovery to other devices soon, starting with Galaxy Nexus, Samsung Galaxy S III and the Barnes & Noble Nook Color. You can learn more and download the appropriate recovery for your device using the links provided above.

When it comes to fixing bugs in ROMs, most users don't care how the fixes are applied as long as they work. So it happens sometimes that fixes are released before they're merged into the actual ROM. This provides faster relief to some bugs, and devs don't have to rush to get things merged and re-uploaded. There is such a tweak pack for the Samsung Epic 4G Touch that fixes a couple of bugs and adds some new features.
It was released to XDA by Senior Member Exit_Only. For clarification purposes, the tweak is only available for AOSP-based ROMs. The stock, OEM-skinned Jelly Bean gets to keep its bugs for a little while longer. Here's everything included in the tweak:
What's included?
Library Fix for Gyroscope and Compass (Stable)
Several Scripts to increase battery life and performance (Alpha)(major wip)
GPS Modifications for better and faster GPS Lock (Alpha)(wip)
Sysctl Tweaks (Stable)
Build.prop Tweaks (Alpha)(wip)
So while the Gyroscope and Compass fixes along with the Sysctl tweaks are stable, everything else carries with it the YMMV title. Users can expect the WIP items to become more complete as new builds get released. Users have confirmed that the fixes work, so if you want to see an end to your sensor woes, this is a tweak to try.

It seems that the Sprint owners still on the Galaxy S II who did not upgrade to the HTC EVO 4G LTE or the Samsung Galaxy S3 are still due for an Android update. Just a few months ago and after MANY months of waiting and delays, Sprint and Samsung decided to release, the awaited ICS update for the Epic 4G Touch. This was received with open arms by the community, but it unfortunately came well after the announcement (and surfacing) of Google's newest Android iteration, Jelly Bean. Being the grateful bunch that we are, the first reaction to ICS release was the expected "when are we getting Jelly Bean?" A few AOSP builds started surfacing, which are fully functional (minus a few bugs here and there), but nothing for those who want something that resemble stock.
A couple of weeks ago, XDA Recognized Contributor sextape announced that he and his team got their hands on the first official JB leak for the device, FJ05, but this was never released due to potential security issues. Shortly after, FJ10 surfaced and it was kept under the same veil as its predecessor due to similar concerns. Just a few days ago, the team decided to make it public. The ROM itself, according to some of the feedback is very, very smooth, which leads some to speculate that this build actually has Project Butter in it (however, unconfirmed). Having said that, the leak seems to be in a very early stage, as it is ridden with bugs which include random reboots, over heating, no 3G, and several other minor bugs. On top of that, the only way to flash in and out of this build is through Odin. This cannot be flashed from mobile options such as recovery or even Mobile Odin. Also, the ROM is not rooted in its current state, but several devs are working towards trying to release a rooted, more stable version of it.
Please be wary when flashing this build and make sure that you read through the feedback and recommendations in the thread. Having said this, if you decide to go forth, happy flashing!
Hello There After much debated within our team we decided to release this for public testing!!
The official jelly bean for the epic4g touch can be found here.

In most cases, a nagging issue or consistent problem is eventually fixed by our talented developers and members here at XDA. We've seen ends to a plethora of issues, including signal problems, slow data, redraw, and all sorts of other things. However, not all issues can be solved so quickly. Samsung Epic 4G Touch owners know this first hand, as GPS functionality has been somewhat problematic since day one. Now, members and devs are doing something about it.
The thread was started by XDA Senior Member Gamingphreek, but there have been contributions made by a number of members and developers. There hasn't been a solution found yet, but a lot of relevant information has been gathered regarding the ongoing GPS problem. In short, the issue is that the GPS takes a very long time to find a lock, and when it does, it isn't very accurate. This affects mostly ICS AOSP users.
So far a number of solutions have been thrown out. These include changing radios, juggling ROMs, and applying a number of popular or otherwise well known fixes. However, in the words of Thomas Edison, "I have not failed 700 times. I have not failed once. I have succeeded in proving that those 700 ways will not work. When I have eliminated the ways that will not work, I will find the way that will work." So, it is only a matter of time before the thread begins to generate positive results for users who have GPS woes on their Epic Touch. For additional info, check out the original thread.

While running CyanogenMod on a CDMA device has many advantages, one glaring disadvantage is the ability to update your PRL (Preferred Roaming List) or data profile, which are only available via stock ROMs. Often times if you need to run a GPS fix or update your PRL, you need to backup your CM9 install, restore to a previous stock ROM, do the ROM dance, run the desired process, dance a jig, restore to CM9 install, and hope for the best. Well now you don't, thanks to the Epic Touch CM team.
The Epic Touch CM team has put together a nice temporary ROM which boots the FF18 stock firmware from the /EMMC partition on the Samsung Epic 4G Touch without changing your current ROM. This temporary ROM allows you to do the following, and more:
- Update Profile
- Update PRL
- Sprint Activation
- Dial codes and diagnostic mode
XDA Senior Member slick_rick has put together the discussion for this process, so visit the original thread and give it a shot.

For those who haven't heard, there have been some issues with Samsung ICS leaks and brick bugs. The Samsung Epic 4G Touch was no exception to kernel- and recovery-related issues. When CM9 ROMs were were first coming out on the Epic Touch, they didn't come with a custom recovery. To flash to a different ROM, users had to flash a Gingerbread kernel containing the proper ClockworkMod recovery, and then use that recovery to flash to a new ROM. This is because the kernel being used suffered from similar issues as the hard brick bug on other Samsung devices. Thus, it meant that trying to wipe and flash a different ROM could result in a hard brick. That problem is now solved.
XDA Recognized Developer chris41g along with XDA Senior Member FranceIsBacon are currently building AOSP-compatible kernels with patched ClockworkMod recoveries. To put it more simply, they have disabled the emmc_cap_erase, which has been identified as one of the big troublemakers in the whole brick bug debacle. The purpose of this is to allow users to flash an AOSP-based ROM, flash their kernel, and then use that recovery to flash to whatever else they want without fear of bricking their devices.
Currently, the kernels are considered to be in the testing phase. They do work and users have reported as much, but none of them are good enough for Chris41g to declare stable. On top of being for AOSP-based ROMs and having a patched recovery, the kernel also has a number of other features including:
New Schedulers
New Governors
Patched eMMC
Battery Tweaks
Speed Tweaks
So if you're running AOSP-based ICS ROM on the Epic Touch, you may want to look further. Those interested should head over to the original thread.

When flashing an AOSP ROM on a CDMA phone, it's a win-some lose-some affair. You gain the functionality that comes with a pure Android experience. However, you traditionally lose USB Modem and Diagnosis Mode on your device. For those who are unaware, USB Mode and Diagnosis Mode are accessed via codes you enter into the dialer. This is not only required to activate the phone on some networks, but also helpful in alleviating some problems like restoring your IMEI using QPST. However, for many Samsung devices, that is no longer a problem. Now, you can get all this functionality back without flashing back to a stock ROM.
XDA Senior Member autoprime has put a thread that not only gives a profound amount of information but also provides a script to make it all easier. The suggested way is to use a script manager application to apply the script. As autoprime explains:
Open script manager, browse to script files on SD card, select script, set to run as SU and hit save. Do this with both scripts. Now you can use the script manager in the Widgets section to create shortcuts on the desktop for easy access. Hopefully these scripts get built into CM10 so this method is no longer needed. You may or may not have to unplug/plugin the usb cable after new mode is set.
Also provided is a plethora of instructions. This is a huge step for the supported devices, which include:
The Epic 4G Touch was having some troubles with the script, but autoprime managed to fix it in short order. Additionally, this method will soon support other devices. So if you've had to flash back and forth between AOSP and stock just to use these codes and your phone is supported, it's time for some celebration.

There is not much more painful to the eyes than turning on a bright display in a dark room. There are applications out there with Night Mode, but they don't always work optimally—often eliminating colors, which makes things more difficult to read. This is a problem that the Samsung Epic 4G Touch no longer need experience.
XDA Senior Member arpruss has developed an application called GalacticNight. It requires root because it modifies the mdnie* files to adjust the colors for proper night vision. Arpruss explains the application more in depth:
I know there is ChainFire3D, which is a great app, but this is better for nightmode. ChainFire3D does nightmode by simply dropping the green and blue colors. That way of doing things can make some things invisible (e.g., some things in the UI may be pure green, and then they'll turn black). GalacticNight, instead, properly converts RGB colors to luminosities, and then sets the red (or green or white) intensity according to the luminosity.
There are also a variety of settings based on how you want your phone to look or behave. For instance, the reverse colors mode will change everything around, so white browser backgrounds become black. Additionally, the screen remains mostly dark, which saves battery life on AMOLED devices. The initial version of the application was only compatible for Epic Touch Gingerbread, but since has been found to be working on a number of other devices.
For additional information and the up-to-date list on device compatibility, check out the original thread.

Contest offers home energy upgrades
One local homeowner will win up to $10,000 in home energy upgrades to lower energy bills and increase comfort, through the Richmond Region Energy Alliance's Richmond Home Energy Makeover Contest, which opened today and will continue through Aug. 26.
Ten finalists will also win free home energy assessments valued at $300. Local nonprofits can also take part in the Contest's Nonprofit Challenge for a chance to win a $1,000 cash prize.
"This is an exciting opportunity for homeowners in Richmond to finally take control of their home energy bills," said Bill Greenleaf, executive director of the Richmond Region Energy Alliance. "With home energy improvements, one lucky homeowner will win once and save forever. We hear from homeowners all the time that they are paying too much on their energy bills while still suffocating in their homes during our hot and humid summers – and then shivering in frigid rooms in the winter. The Richmond Home Energy Makeover Contest is a free and easy way to enjoy your home again."
The contest is open to single family homeowners who reside in the counties of Henrico, Hanover, Chesterfield, Goochland, Powhatan, New Kent and Charles City, the City of Richmond and the Town of Ashland
To enter, visit http://www.rrea-va.org/contest .
Contest entry involves completion of a five-minute form that will create a personalized home energy report that identifies what your energy bills are paying for and outlines simple ways you can cut those costs.
The Richmond Region Energy Alliance is a community-based nonprofit that provides tips for homeowners to solve their high home energy bills and comfort issues through home energy improvements. The contest is sponsored by Carrier Corp and EarthCraft Virginia.
Home energy improvements for the grand prize winner will range from small to large solutions and often include air and duct sealing, HVAC upgrades, insulation, sealing and/or replacing windows and doors, lighting and appliance upgrades.
The winner will be selected at the end of September, and the improvement work will be scheduled in October in coordination with the homeowner.
