Senior Scott Davis, the demonstration's police liaison, is processed for trespassing charges by the UWPD after being removed from the president's conference room.
Sophomore Morgan Currier leads fellow protesters in chants while they await arrest inside the president's conference room in Gerberding Hall.
Members of the UW Kick Out Sodexo Coalition were arrested and kicked out of Gerberding Hall yesterday.
Twenty-seven students were arrested after staging a six-hour sit-in in the offices of Interim President Phyllis Wise. The students were read their rights by UWPD officers and taken outside one by one, cited with criminal trespass and released around 7:30 p.m.
The UW Kick Out Sodexo Coalition, which protests the UW's contract with food vendor Sodexo, has been vocal about its opposition to the company's alleged workers' rights violations. Starting in Johnson Hall, approximately 50 students marched up the stairs of Gerberding Hall and entered Wise's office on the third floor, filling the hallway and doorways and demanding the contract's termination while Wise was speaking in a conference call.
"We went into her office around 1:30 p.m.," Gaby Guillen, Kick Out Sodexo Coalition member, said. "She was in her office, and we sat down in there. We were forcibly removed and brought to her conference room."
After being displaced from Wise's main office by the UWPD, students remained in the adjacent conference room texting, calling and shouting out the windows to friends and supporters organizing in Red Square. Throughout the afternoon, two to five police officers were located in the president's offices with students.
Cmdr. Jerome Solomon, the UWPD's public information officer, said that students were within their rights to occupy the public building and were not over the fire-code limit of the conference room.
"The police said, as long as we are being peaceful and respectful, we won't be arrested," Guillen said in the afternoon. "We will not be leaving until we meet with Wise, and she agrees to terminate the contract with Sodexo."
Students came prepared for a long stay, bringing food, homework, games, sleeping bags and kitty litter, in the event of denied access to bathrooms.
Six hours later, the students were asked to leave, and they refused.
Scott Davis, Kick Out Sodexo Coalition member and the demonstration's police liaison, said that a group of leaders spoke to Eric Godfrey, vice president and vice provost for student life, who told them that Wise would not meet with them.
"They pulled a group of us aside to talk to Eric Godfrey," Davis said. "He told us that Wise was not going to meet with us today no matter what, and we needed to leave the building. We went and talked to the whole group again, and they agreed they wanted to stay there unless Wise talked to us."
Godfrey said that he thought the students' actions was understandable, but that it disrupted the normal operations of the university.
"We're always prepared for civil action," Godfrey said. "When it bumps up against disrupting normal university business, then it becomes more of a challenge, and that's where we found ourselves tonight."
Kick Out Sodexo Coalition members who did not participate in the sit-in rallied outside of Gerberding before bringing their signs and chants inside to the entrance to Wise's office.
Jessica Wallach, one of the Kick Out Sodexo Coalition members participating in the rally outside, said that the meetings the coalition has had with Wise have garnered no results.
"We've been meeting, and we've been meeting," Wallach said. "But there's been no action taken. The fact that it takes a sit-in to get this kind of attention is absurd and ridiculous."
Katy Lundgren, Kick Out Sodexo Coalition member, said the students participating in the sit-in were supported by a larger group on campus.
"It's not just this group of students," Lundgren said. "We're representing the ASUW resolution that has been passed. We're representing professors that have written in to show their support for a contract cut with Sodexo. We're representing a coalition of 17 student groups that support a contract cut. It's very widely supported in the community and President Wise needs to know that and listen to that."
Morgan Currier, Kick Out Sodexo coalition organizer, said that in the past two and a half weeks, three other sit-ins have been performed at other universities in protest to Sodexo, but none have resulted in contract cuts. However, Currier was confident in the demonstration yesterday and said she hoped Wise would speak with the students.
"We hope that President Wise won't make us sit in her office rather than speaking to us," Currier said. "We hope that instead of arresting us, President Wise will come and have a dialogue with us."
Currier said that the Kick Out Sodexo Coalition has met with Wise but has not received responses to their demands.
"We've had two meetings with her, and we've delivered letters to her," Currier said. "The last letter she sent said, basically, that she's done talking to us, and she's trying to place the blame on other administrators, when it's really her area of power to terminate the contract. She's really just stopped responding to us lately."
Norm Arkans, UW associate vice president for media relations and communications, said that the administration has been listening to student concerns all year.
"We've been in dialogue with the students for most of the year about this," Arkans said. "They came to us initially with concerns, complaints and allegations about Sodexo's behavior, mostly in other parts of the world — not about our contract."
Arkans said the university has had "no issues" with Sodexo's performance at the UW.
"[Students] came with allegations about alleged abuses of workers' rights," Arkans said. "President Wise wrote to the president of Sodexo North America and told them that our students had these concerns and gave them the opportunity to respond. … He refuted most of the allegations."
Arkans said that the president of Sodexo offered to set up a meeting between the company and UW students.
"They offered to have Sodexo executives meet with our students," Arkans said. "We took that to our students and had an extended dialogue about whether they were going to meet with Sodexo executives. … We offered to try to broker such a meeting. Apparently, according to reports yesterday, the students thought it was too late to do that."
However, Currier said that students have been trying to get that meeting, and the administration hasn't been helpful.
"We've been begging for that meeting since April 19," Currier said. "They've really dragged their feet on making that happen, which shows that they just don't take it seriously. Frankly, the angry students that are in the conference room right now just couldn't wait any longer."
The contract terminates in June 2012, and Arkans said that the university will take bids for the new contract. The university added a section to its Request for Proposal (RFP) form for companies bidding to take over concessions at UW athletic events that includes criteria about companies' worker's rights and sustainability measures.
"We did tell the students that because of their concerns about our doing business with companies that exhibit corporate responsibility that in the RFP, we would add a provision that addresses corporate responsibility," Arkans said. "That was something the students wanted us to do, and we did."
Intercollegiate Athletics issued an RFP in March, which Arkans said was a little early for a contract that expires a year from June, because the department was hopeful that the company would help to plan the concessions stand in the new stadium. The RFP included the criteria about corporate responsibility.
Godfrey said that the university did not see enough evidence against Sodexo to justify severing its contract with the food vendor.
"The university and the students are quite a ways apart with respect to the factual basis, if any, for severing the contract," Godfrey said. "Students understandably feel very strongly that evidence exists of labor violations and sweatshop conditions. … My understanding is that, for our part, a lot of thought and review went into it and compelling evidence to support abandoning a contractual agreement that we had was just not there."
Arkans said the administration doesn't have enough evidence to make a decision about Sodexo right now.
"It's hard to sort out who's right," Arkans said. "That's our dilemma: trying to wade in there and figure out what's the truth. We don't have enough right now to be able to come to that conclusion definitively, so we're not going to terminate the contract here."
The university must give a 90-day notice period before terminating its contract with Sodexo. Arkans said that it would be difficult to do so and be able to have concessions for the first football game of next year.
Currier said the coalition is beyond meetings and action needs to be the next step taken.
"A meeting with Sodexo is not going to accomplish anything," Currier said. "The only thing that actually forces companies into taking action to remedy labor and human rights violations is by cutting their contracts and showing them there's no place for them at universities."

Foxes stick the knife into Blades
City had slipped out of the top six by virtue of Blackpool's win at Derby earlier in the day but Michael Morrison's header and a Matty Fryatt penalty helped lift them up to fourth in the table. Half-time substitute Henri Camara immediately got United back into the game with his first touch but Kevin Blackwell's side could not find an equaliser despite making it an uncomfortable second half for the Foxes. The result ended the Blades' seven-game unbeaten league run and left the south Yorkshire club without a league win on Boxing Day since 2004. Former Fox Jordan Stewart had a good early chance after getting the better of Jack Hobbs but he shot straight at Chris Weale. At the other end, Mark Bunn was called into action by his own player after Nick Montgomery inadvertently sliced a clearance goalwards. Lloyd Dyer threatened on a couple of occasions and Bunn had to tip an ambitious long-range effort from Morrison over the crossbar. From Matt Oakley's resulting corner, Morrison arrived unmarked inside the six-yard box to head Leicester in front after 26 minutes. Nine minutes later Montgomery tripped Fryatt inside the area and City's leading scorer picked himself up to net his 12th goal of the season from the penalty spot. Nigel Pearson's side would have been out of sight had Richie Wellens' shot from the edge of the box been a couple of inches lower instead of striking the crossbar in first-half injury time. Blackwell brought on Camara for Andy Taylor at the break and it proved an inspired move as the Senegal striker scored less than two minutes after his introduction. Stephen Quinn's ball into the box from the left was pounced on by Camara, who beat Weale from close range. Dyer and Steve Howard forced Bunn into parries before the hour mark and Howard should have worked Bunn again soon afterwards but headed wide. Weale then had to tip an 18-yard shot from Jamie Ward over the crossbar after 65 minutes. Chances continued to come at both ends. United captain Chris Morgan went close with a header and Camara flashed a shot just wide either side of the midway point of the second half. Fryatt narrowly missed the bottom corner with a curling effort from the edge of the box. United had one last opportunity to salvage a draw but substitute Ched Evans was thwarted by Weale.

It is Sunnah for the imam to straighten the rows himself, or to tell the congregation to straighten the rows. A variety of expressions are narrated in the Sunnah, all of them telling the worshippers to straighten the rows, and warning them against doing otherwise. Among the phrases that have been narrated are: âStraighten the rows and stand close togetherâ and âStraighten your rows, for straightening the rows is part of establishing prayerâ and âStraighten your rows for straightening the rows is part of perfecting the prayerâ and âStraighten the rows in prayer for straightening the rows is part of doing the prayer wellâ and âStand straight and do not make the rows uneven, lest that that create disharmony amongst youâ and âStraighten the rows and stand shoulder to shoulder and fill the gapsâ â and other such phrases.
There is no need to say any of these or other phrases if the imam sees that the rows are straight.
Shaykh Ibn âUthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
But if the imam turns round and sees that the rows are straight and solid (with no gaps), and the people are standing in straight rows, then it seems that he should not tell them to straighten the rows, because that has been done â unless he intends thereby to tell them to keep it like that â because these words have a meaning, they are not just words that are to be said for no purpose.
Asâilat al-baab il-Maftooh, no. 62.
We do not know of any phrase in the Sunnah with which the imam may encourage the worshippers to focus more in their prayer and focus their hearts on Allaah and the prayer, as if it were their last prayer and so on. If the imam always says that then there is the fear that it may come under the heading of bidâah (innovation). There is nothing wrong with saying such things as a reminder but that should be done sometimes, not all the time and in every prayer.
We know of no basis for saying âFocus your hearts on Allaahâ. With regard to the phrase âPray like a man bidding farewell,â there is a saheeh report that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said this, but that was by way of general advice, not what the imam should say before saying the first takbeer of the prayer.
It was narrated that Abu Ayyoob said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: âWhen you stand to pray, pray like a man bidding farewell. Do not say anything for which you will have to apologize. And give up hope for what other people have.â
Narrated by Ibn Maajah, 4171. Classed as saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaani in al-Silsilah al-Saheehah, 401.
And it was narrated that Ibn âUmar said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: âPray like a man bidding farewell as if you can see Him, for although you cannot see Him, He sees you, and do not be concerned about what other people possess, then you will live a rich life. Beware of any action that requires an apology.â
Narrated by al-Bayhaqi in Kitaab al-Zuhd (The Book of Asceticism), 2/210.
It is saheeh because of the existence of corroborating reports, as Shaykh al-Albaani said in al-Silsilah al-Saheehah, 1914.

Focused searches in Firefox
Search linked pages in Firefox with a Google Custom Search Engine.
Here's a neat add-on for Firefox. Search Everywhere doesn't actually search everywhere; it only searches directly linked Web pages. This free extension creates a Google Custom Search Engine based on pages linked to the current page. When you enter a search term, Search Everywhere queries only those linked sites. This lets you quickly zero in on content, find hidden gems of information buried deep in large sites, and browse similar sites for related interests or content.
Search Everywhere placed its icon in the Firefox status bar in our browser window's lower right corner. Clicking this icon opened a narrow search toolbar along the bottom of our main window. This toolbar's first option is marked SiteSearch; checking it limits searches to just the target site. There's a hot-key combination, Alt + I, for this frequently used option, too. You can also select three URL extraction options: Exact, for narrow searches; Paths, which omits file names; and Hosts, which searches only hosts extracted from URLs, creating the broadest search engine. The Filter option filters out URLs that would otherwise dominate results, while Boost Exact allows hosts and paths but gives preference to exact URLs in searches. Aside from a check box to open search results in a new tab, the only other control is the program's status bar icon, which toggles the Search Everywhere toolbar open and closed.
We browsed to a Web site of interest, opened Search Everywhere, and entered a term that seemed likely to produce hits. It did, and Search Everywhere displayed them on a Google page in a new tab, just as we'd specified. All the hits were from pages directly linked to the page we'd searched, and, as we suspected, there was a lot of related or interesting content tucked away in odd corners that cursory checks would have missed. We typed the hot-key combo to activate SiteSearch and searched for the same term again; this time the results were all from the target page. One small touch: the "i" in SiteSearch is underlined to serve as a hot-key reminder.
Search Everywhere's developer, Paul Komarek, is an interesting guy, and custom Google search engines are just one of his hobbies. We're glad he found time for them, though, since Search Everywhere is just the sort of tool that can save you time as well as broaden your horizons.

England women's World Cup hopes suffered a significant blow with a 3-0 defeat to China in Holland.
Many of the players were in tears at the final whistle as a second successive loss left them up against it to make the semi-finals already.
Despite dominating, enjoying nearly two-thirds possession in their opponents' half and more than twice the number of circle penetrations, England paid the price for a lack of sharpness in front of goal.
The closest they came was when Lily Owsley's narrow-angle shot hit both posts in the first half and a failure to convert seven penalty corners contributed to their shortcomings as, after a goalless first half, China twice scored against the run of play through Yang Peng and Melyu Lang.
Having lost their opener to the United States, coach Jason Lee threw caution to the wind and pulled goalkeeper Maddie Hinch for the final six minutes to add an extra outfield player but a loss of possession in side their own half allowed Peng to score her second with an angled reverse-stick shot.
England effectively have to win their remaining three matches - two of which are against title holders Argentina and European champions Germany - if they are to stand a chance of finishing in the top two in Group B and progressing to the semis.

On The Fly: Closing Wrap
Stocks on Wall Street were lower, as the major averages receded from record levels. The Dow and S&P 500 closed yesterday at all-time highs, though the market was unable to build upon those records. Auto sales for February included disappointments for several companies, but that was quickly blamed on the poor weather during the month. With the economic calendar light, investors began looking forward to end of the week, when the highly anticipated monthly nonfarm payrolls are released. ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., no major economic data was reported. COMPANY NEWS: Automakers reported on their sales in the U.S. during February, with several falling short of expectations. Ford (F) reported sales fell about 2% last month compared to the prior year, and its stock fell 40c, or 2.41%, to $16.17 afterward. Shares of Fiat Chrysler (FCAU), which reported a 6% increase in U.S. sales last month, declined 52c, or 3.28%, to $15.31. General Motors (GM) reported its February U.S. sales rose a bit over 4%, but that was below the nearly 6% increase that had been forecast by analysts, and shares gained 19c, or 0.51%, to $37.80... Target (TGT) shares gained 32c, or 0.41%, to $78.00 as the company held its investor day meeting. During the meeting, the retailer guided for its fiscal 2015 EPS to be $4.45-$4.65, versus consensus $4.50, and projected that its sales will grow 2%-3% during the fiscal year. Target also said it is targeting $2B in share repurchases this year and said it expects 5%-10% annual dividend growth. MAJOR MOVERS: Among the notable gainers was Orexigen (OREX), which surged $1.85, or 31.95%, to $7.64 after the company disclosed that its weight loss drug, Contrave, demonstrated a statistically significant benefit over placebo for cardiovascular events when announcing a method of treatment patent was issued by the USPTO. Also higher was Springleaf Holdings (LEAF), which gained $12.19, or 32.05%, to $50.23 after agreeing to acquire OneMain Financial from Citigroup (C) for $4.25B. Among the noteworthy losers was Primoris Services (PRIM), which fell $3.87, or 18.35%, to $17.22 after reporting fourth quarter results that fell short of consensus expectations and were below last year�s fourth quarter. Also lower were shares of Micron (MU), which fell $1.58, or 5.06%, to $29.66 after Nomura downgraded the stock to Neutral from Buy. INDEXES: The Dow fell 85.26, or 0.47%, to 18,203.37, the Nasdaq lost 28.20, or 0.56%, to 4,979.90, and the S&P 500 declined 9.61, or 0.45%, to 2,107.78.

Nikon and Crumpler Bags Team Up
Nikon and Crumpler have teamed up to create two bags: "This" and "That". The new camera bags combine the Crumpler build quality with the Nikon black and yellow colors. Both bags can accommodate a compact SLR, two lenses, an external flash and still have room for accessories. The bags are constructed of heavy duty nylon with a waterproof lining.
The "This" backpack features a new "Spread-em" opening, easy access outer side pocket, inside one mesh window pocket with zip and a padded detachable photo compartment with adjustable internal dividers and super strong shoulder straps.
The "That" is a dedicated photo bag that features a "Prince Charles" protective seal and protective seal protectors, front pocket mesh, adjustable shoulder strap and comfy pad, super secure Velcro fastening with clip and adjustable internal dividers.
Unfortunately, it looks like these bags are only going to be available in Europe, in December 2006.

Why The Canon Powershot G7 Didn't Get RAW
The new Canon Powershot G7 really disappointed fans of the product line by coming without support for shooting RAW images. Many review sites considered it a "downgrade". Cnet is running an article in which they give a little background about the issue and a response from Canon. The Powershot G7 features a 10 megapixel sensor, which is the same size as the 7.1 megapixel sensor in the G6. So, each pixel on the sensor is much smaller. A smaller pixel means that it gets harder to distinguish between the signal from incoming light and the "noise" of the digital sensor. For this reason, Chuck Westfall, director of media and customer relations for Canon, says:
"The net result is that even if the G7 offered raw image capture...there would be no discernible improvement in image quality compared to...superfine JPEG mode"

Video Footage:
Fire-gate, the cover up of who started the Arizona wildfires. Smugglers have exploited environmental restrictions along the border for decades. Arizonans pay the price after smugglers set several wildfires that have burned homes and cost millions of dollars. All of the images in this video were taken after the forest was closed to the public. Smugglers and Illegal Aliens were among the only people in the wilderness. The Department of Homeland Security has failed to provide security for the people of Arizona and beyond.
As a result of this admission, Senator McCain was lambasted by both liberal media and open border activists. However, Cochise County Sheriff Larry Dever quickly defended the Senator and said the evidence is overwhelming.
The statement that landed McCain in hot water took a direct shot at illegal border crossers. "There is substantial evidence that some of these fires have been caused by the people who have crossed our border illegally. The answer to that part of the problem is to get a secure border," he said.
Dever confirmed McCain's theories and told reporters that "When this fire was started, Montezuma National Monument was closed. The forest around it was closed… So, whoever started the fire was there illegally." He continued to explain that the fire started near the U.S./Mexico border and the only people "traveling in that area were smugglers or illegal aliens."
The residents, ranchers and Border Patrol Agents this reporter talked to in the field the pass few days, clearly stated illegal aliens/drug smugglers started many if not all of the Arizona wildfires.
One rancher said, "In some cases, these wildfires can be caused by lightning strikes, but we haven't had rain for weeks."
Several other agents in the field explained that calls came into the office that illegals in distress started signal fires in more than one instance. "We just got another call today from illegals that started a fire because they were lost. In other cases, illegal aliens create a diversion fire, so drug smugglers can get their dope across the border," said one agent who didn't want his name divulged for fear of retaliation.
Confirming this scenario is raw footage taken from a Secure Border Intelligence (SBI) hidden camera. The new footage was taken in the forest wilderness near Nogales, Arizona that has been closed by officials and it shows suspected smugglers crossing in front of a SBI camera. Shortly thereafter the viewer can see the fire raging pass the camera. (View footage here)
A representative from Secure Border Intel suggests the federal government has not secured the border south of these wilderness areas, putting communities in danger in Arizona.
While media outlets are reluctant to identify illegal aliens as the most likely suspects in these fires, residents, law enforcement and ranchers have all drawn the same conclusion- the fires are started by suspected illegal aliens and drug smugglers.

seriously, i have played 800 games and i still dont know the best way to do it. in starcraft, you can just hit the "stop" button and the unit stops moving and automatically attacks, but in lol, the "stop" button stops movement and attacks. so i am basically right clicking to move, moving my cursor to the opposite side where the enemy is, right clicking the enemy, then bring my cursor back to the other side to move again. i see streams where they somehow stop moving but still attack without right clicking the enemy a la starcraft tldr title
Senior Member
you press A and left click
Attack Move, but the sad part is there's no attack priority for it, so if minions are around you're screwed.
A click A click A click A click A click A click A click Riot's done a pretty good job to lessen the need of animation canceling, but you can still do it (press H) for some champs with some atrocious backswing, Xin Zhao really suffers from having some crazy long attack animations. The damage is usually done before the spear animation connects with the target, then it has a few ms where it crosses over his knee. Just an example
oh, i thought A click was for "i want you to move there, but kill everything on the way first. if there is an enemy, stand still and auto attack it to death, then move on."
here's an example of what i mean. note how his mouse cursor doesnt change icons or anything to indicate that he is A clicking http://www.youtube.com/user/Grasshyr...36/ImoFpJIXkgc
lol oops nvmd i see it does change cursor
i see, it's not really JUST A click A click it's right click, A click, (wait for attack), right click, repeat
It's ridiculously easy to pull off with someone like Ashe. Just run away, right-click once to attack the enemy with Q, then keep running. Rinse and repeat as needed.

Kid's iPhone stand solution: Lots of Legos
When his dad wasn't finding the right stand for his 3G iPhone, 8-year-old Patrick Sheehan stepped in to help design a colorful solution.
Apple might want to keep an eye on 8-year-old Patrick Sheehan. When dad Stephen wasn't finding the right stand for his 3G iPhone, Patrick stepped in to help design a colorful and creative solution--made of Legos.
The father-son pair from Halifax, Nova Scotia, conceived of the Lego iPhone stand several weeks ago, and Patrick brought it to life over the weekend, assembling about 40 Lego pieces of various sizes and colors in less than two hours. "He has a lot of projects and homework in Grade 3, so we had to put it off for a while," his dad said of the slight production delay. Dad helped Patrick create space for the phone cord so it could run underneath the base without disrupting the balance. Other than that, it is purely a Patrick Sheehan original.
Between this contraption and the pencil iPhone stand we showed you Monday, we're eager to see what our imaginative readers will come up with next.

Colin Muller
The senior management team at Muller has been carefully developed since the outset and is staffed with industry professionals across all disciplines, the majority of whom have worked together for a period of over ten years.
The type, nature and size of schemes in which Muller management has been engaged vary widely. It has involvement in its own right and in joint venture partnership with the development of office schemes, pub and hotels, industrial and warehouse development, convenience retail food stores, and trade-counter schemes.
Colin has a career in property spanning some 25 years, having graduated from the School of Architecture, Town Planning and Estate Management, Oxford in 1983 with a BA (Hons) and Diploma in Town Planning. Muller started his career in a land acquisition role for Wimpey and later moved to Alfred McAlpine Plc as Director with responsibility for land acquisition, planning and development functions in the north of England region.
In 1990 at the age of 31, he established his own property business which expanded over a period of three years prior to its merger with Linden Plc, a venture capital backed start-up financed by 3i, Mercury Asset Management and Bank of Scotland.
Colin and his co-directors achieved a full market listing of Linden in 1996 as a quoted house builder which went on to establish start-ups in other regions and to acquire a number of private businesses. By 2000 the business had five operating regions with a turnover of £144m, pre-tax profits of £15.4m and net assets of £52m.
Management undertook an MBO in 2001, valued at £250 million, supported by HBOS. Colin exited and started The Muller Property , now a privately owned business with interests in residential and commercial development, investment, strategic land and project management.

The Drosophila circadian clock consists of two interlocked transcriptional feedback loops. In one loop, dCLOCK/CYCLE activates period expression, and PERIOD protein then inhibits dCLOCK/CYCLE activity. dClock is also rhythmically transcribed, but its regulators are unknown. vrille (vri) and Par Domain Protein 1 (Pdp1) encode related transcription factors whose expression is directly activated by dCLOCK/CYCLE. We show here that VRI and PDP1 proteins feed back and directly regulate dClock expression. Repression of dClock by VRI is separated from activation by PDP1 since VRI levels peak 3-6 hours before PDP1. Rhythmic vri transcription is required for molecular rhythms, and here we show that the clock stops in a Pdp1 null mutant, identifying Pdp1 as an essential clock gene. Thus, VRI and PDP1, together with dClock itself, comprise a second feedback loop in the Drosophila clock that gives rhythmic expression of dClock, and probably of other genes, to generate accurate circadian rhythms.

Arcane Brilliance: On Deep Freeze {WoW}
Oct 4th 2008 3:50PM Actually locks atm in beta lose in duels to everyone, besides maybe fury warriors. The Mage Armor>warlocks. The melee issues got worse for them and demonic circle is an even more gimpy version of blink. Mages on the other hand have been pvp juggernauts in the beta, they're only issue is mana regeneration in pvp (mana is used up way too fast)
Arcane Brilliance: On Deep Freeze {WoW}
Oct 4th 2008 3:17PM so much qq'ing...seriously. Sigh, well thats mages for you, there are worse 51 point talents out there, all three priest 51 pointers are worse, the resto druid 51 pointer is worse, the frost DK 51 pointer is worse in everything but pve crowd control and maybe 5v5 arena(They can't do a pair of shatter combos during they're talent sorry)
And yes Hammer is arguably superior, no one is arguing that, Deep freeze needs some damage on it, the problem was it was acting as a shatter combo on each use and hitting a person with 5k damage, if you followed up with a frost bolt and crit you icelance a person took 10k damage in 4-5 seconds. It was insane

Respecting Our Elders: Examining Accessibility to Senior Centers in Los Angeles County
Danielle Aviva Bernstein ('08), Jill Grigsby
For seniors who may no longer be able to drive, accessibility is an important issue, particularly in a city like Los Angeles where public transportation is lacking. The purpose of this project is to map the location of senior centers across Los Angeles County and assess their accessibility for communities of people of color and low-income communities. Using data from the Los Angeles County Commission on Aging and the 2000 U.S. Census, I map the location of senior centers in Los Angeles County with data showing the distribution of income and various racial and ethnic groups. I also include data on the various services offered by senior centers and examine whether or not various communities have access to the same services. This study examines how well the diverse region of Los Angeles County is serving and supporting its aging population.
Educating the Academic Elite in Systems of Inequality: The Hidden Curriculum of Academic Programs
Laura Elise Enriquez ('08), Sandra Hamada ('09), Jenniffer Rojas ('09), Gilda Ochoa
Though education is often viewed as a means for social advancement, scholarship demonstrates that the US educational system socializes youth to the inequalities of American society. Using a Southern California High School as a microcosm of American society, I examine the ways in which socioeconomic inequalities are institutionalized and perpetuated by schools. As a research team, we conducted field observations, semi-structured interviews, and focus groups to understand how students, teachers, staff and parents frame students' educational experiences. The preliminary work conducted this summer revealed that the school's academic programs contributed to a (in)visible and complex social hierarchy. By focusing on the school's International Baccalaureate program, a curriculum-track designed to present a challenging and well rounded education to high-achieving students, I explore how students are made aware of their positions as racialized, gendered, classed, sexualized, and educated selves. An analysis of the framing of the IB program and its students reveals a discourse in which students are referred to, and refer to themselves, as the "academic elite." While academic programs such as the IB program can be beneficial in the resources and opportunities that they provide select students, they can also serve to perpetuate larger social hierarchies of inequality and (dis)privilege.

Educational Inequality: What Educators, Families and Students Have Come to Believe
Sandra Elizabeth Hamada ('09), Jenniffer Rojas ('09), Laura Enriquez ('08), Gilda L. Ochoa
Collectively, 83% of Asian Americans graduated from high school in California compared to only 60% of Latina/os in 2002. The purpose of this study is to understand the perspectives of students, parents, faculty and teachers and how they explain this educational achievement gap between Asian Americans and Latina/o students. By listening to how they describe the gap, we can examine the similarities and contradictions that they share in a broader social structure so that schools can bridge the gap. Using a critical ethnographic method, we conducted observations and in-depth interviews at a Southern California suburban public school, whose demographics allow for inter-racial diversity to examine the intersections of race, class, gender, and generation. At this stage, preliminary findings suggest that participants have various explanations for achievement including family responsibility, ethnic values, and socioeconomic status. However, it demonstrate that schools, families and students have different understandings of the gap and fail to recognize how larger structures and the intersectionality of identity play a role in educational achievement. Understanding these perspectives can help to work towards deconstructing educational stereotypes held by faculty and teachers, decrease racial tension between students and work towards equal educational opportunity for students of color.

Educational Aspiration and Expectations Among Latino High School Students
Jordan E. Pedraza ('09), Krista M. Perreira*
*Department of Public Policy, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC
Due to the nascent nature of North Carolina as a receiving immigrant community, the current influx of immigrant Hispanic children has a significant impact on the educational system. The main objective of this study examines the relationship between adolescent Latino/as' perception of school climate and their academic aspirations and expectations. Our analysis uses both in-depth interview and survey data from the Southern Immigrant Academic Adaptation study, a study of 239 adolescent Latinos enrolled in North Carolina high schools. We hypothesize that perceived school climate and likelihood of discrimination among Latino youth differs by gender, language use, family structure in the home, generational status, ethnic identity, parent's education, and academic encouragement from parents. In addition, we expect that a perception of positive school climate and low likelihood of discrimination will associate with higher academic goals and expectations for these youth. Our bivariate analyses illustrate that students who have frequent parent encouragement, perceive a better school climate and a low likelihood of discrimination have higher academic aspirations and expectations. Our ordered logit estimations demonstrate that students who perceive a high or moderate likelihood of discrimination are 60% less likely to have higher academic aspirations [OR .40 95% CI .20, 1.10].

Residential Segregation by Educational Attainment and Race: Chicago and Los Angeles
Gladys Esther Reyes ('09), Jill Grigsby
This research examines residential segregation patterns by educational attainment in two of the most populous metropolitan areas of the country -- Chicago and Los Angeles. Previous research mainly explains racial segregation in economic terms and emphasizes Black-White segregation, however, with the diversification of the population in the United States, recent segregation research has expanded to include other groups. Using data from the 2000 U.S. Census on educational attainment by race and Hispanic origin for the population ages 25 years and older, I calculated the dissimilarity index, which indicates how evenly groups are spread across census tracts. The overall findings of this analysis suggest that persons with less than a high school education are more residentially segregated in Los Angeles than in Chicago from the population that has attained a Bachelor's degree or higher. When analyzing the results by race, African Americans and Latinos with less than a high school education are more segregated in Los Angeles than in Chicago, from the population who has earned a Bachelor's degree or higher. Asian & Pacific Islanders and Non-Latino Whites with less than a high school education, however, are more segregated in Chicago than in Los Angeles.

Educational Systems That Hinder Students Academic and Social Capital
Jenniffer Gabriela Rojas ('09), Sandra Hamada ('09), Laura Enriquez ('08), Gilda Ochoa
The classroom is alleged to be a neutral ground where all students regardless of ethnic-background, sexuality, socioeconomic class, and gender have the opportunity to be successful. However, literature shows that students' identities play an important role in a student's ability to achieve educational success. This summer, a qualitative study was conducted in a Southern California High School. The findings so far show a relationship between the student's ethnic-background, in particular between Latina/o and Asian- American students, and their success within the school. Overall there is a strong indication that a students' ethnic-background influences how they will be perceived by authority figures -school officials, teachers, and parents. Most authority figures are influenced by the stereotypes that plague Latina/o and Asian- American communities. Therefore, most Asian-Americans students are viewed as exceptional students where as most Latina/o students are viewed as under-achievers. These views led to tracking, where most Asian-Americans are placed in gifted programs and most Latinas/os are placed in regular classes. This lead to different outcomes of academic success and thus an educational gap emerges. Consequently, some of the students in these groups lack the ability to navigate through the educational system and ultimately enrich their academic as well as their social capital.

Jersey advertising coming to the NHL?
Jason Gregor
July 30 2009 12:01PM
The NHL is always looking at ways to generate more money, and don't be surprised if you see you see a NHL jerseys sporting a "Wanye's Rehab Clinic" logo in the near future.
USA Today had an interesting article describing that ads on practice and game jerseys will be reality very soon.
Time With Ales Hemsky/Alexander Ovechkin – Debunking the Liam Reddox Myth
Jonathan Willis
July 30 2009 08:24AM
This is a pretty straight-forward post, inspired by some discussion in Jason Gregor's post yesterday: a list of minutes played with Ales Hemsky by Oilers forwards over the course of the season.
Oilers re-sign Reddox and Potulny
Jason Gregor
July 29 2009 02:40PM
The Oilers have re-signed Liam Reddox and Ryan Potulny.
When Reddox refused his offer sheet, it was surprising that that even got out, since Ladislav Smid and Gilbert Brule didn't accept their original offer sheet either.
Marc Pouliot Vs. The Average
Jonathan Willis
July 29 2009 01:11PM
Last season, Marc Pouliot average 10.24 minutes of five on five ice-time per game. Despite that meager role, many Oilers fans complain that MacTavish overused him and he shouldn't even have been on the team. I believe that isn't the case.
Starting The Clock: Jordan Eberle
Jonathan Willis
July 28 2009 04:18PM
The salary cap era has been interesting, to say the least. One of the common themes of it has been that it pays off far more to develop younger players because they generally make less money due to a more restrictive contract.
That's true, but many people take it to mean that young players should get more of a shot as a result. In point of fact, the opposite is true – at least for junior-aged players.

90 points Robert Parker: "Thank goodness this estates new consultant, Stephane Derenoncourt, has toned down what was often too much new oak. He also appears to have built in more density. The 2005 is a beautifully exuberant, sexy wine displaying copious black cherry, toasty oak, raspberry, and vanillin notes. Pure, rich, medium to full-bodied, and luscious, patience will not be required for this beauty as it can be consumed now and over the next 12-15 years." (04/08) 89 points Stephen Tanzer: "Medium red. Superripe aromas of maraschino cherry and smoke. At once sweet and firm, with flavors of cherry, licorice and minerals. A bit youthfully medicinal, and very successful for this property." (May/June 08) And from the Wine Spectator: "Displays aromas of blackberry and dark chocolate. Medium-bodied, with soft tannins and a fruity finish. There's a hint of toasty oak. Best after 2011."

BCPO chief's term ends March 11
BACOLOD City Police Office chief Pedrito Escarilla is stepping down from his post as he retires from the Philippine National Police (PNP) service on March 11.
Escarilla, who stayed as BCPO...

MANILA -- To keep the public updated, the Commission on Elections (Comelec) said it will release the first partial election result after it receives data from 20 percent of the total number of polling precincts.
Updates on the results will be provided after every 10 percent of votes from the precincts arrive, said Comelec Commissioner Gregorio Larrazabal.
Click here for Election 2010 updates
But Larrazabal said the time intervals between updates may vary, depending on the transmission of data.
Comelec Chairman Jose Melo estimated the intervals may be between three to four hours, and urged the media to provide regular updates on election results as well.
"Let the people be interested in the result," he said.
Raw data will be available in the Comelec website allotted for the election results, but the totals will not be divulged until the 20 percent target has been reached.
A "long discussion" was devoted to the matter during a meeting among Comelec officials, senatorial candidates of the Nacionalista Party (NP), Representative Teddy Boy Locsin of the joint congressional oversight committee and Smartmatic officials regarding the NP's election concerns.
Senator Francis Escudero earlier suggested that the partial number of votes be withheld from the public for a while, to prevent trending.
Locsin opposed Escudero's suggestion. "We only have one time zone so you cannot cause trending," he said.
Locsin instead suggested that the 20 percent be lowered to 10 percent so that Comelec may release the partial results more frequently.
The main issue discussed in the meeting was the NP's concern regarding reports of Precinct Count Optical Scan (PCOS) machines in isolated areas still having the old compact flash cards, said Rep. Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
"But then again, even if it's a concern, the Comelec and Smartmatic seem to have a plan to remedy the situation so we will just have to allow them to do their work," he said.
"In fact they are able to catch up with their timelines and their schedules," he added.
NP called for the meeting to air their concerns after 76,000 compact flash cards were recalled by Smartmatic Thursday.
50% in place
The release of elections results will only happen if all of the (PCOS) and the reconfigured compact flash (CF) memory cards are in place and functioning accurately for the May 10 elections.
Close to 60 percent of the PCOS machines nationwide is targeted to be tested and sealed by Saturday night, according to Smartmatic-TIM Asia President Cesar Flores.
"For sure, more than 50 percent or close to 60 percent will be tested and sealed today (Saturday) and the rest will be tomorrow (Sunday)," Flores said.
Flores said 85 percent of CF cards in Northern Luzon, National Capital Region, and the Visayas have been delivered while 95 percent of the memory cards have been sent out in Mindanao.
Some 70 percent has been delivered to respective municipalities nationwide, said Commission on Elections (Comelec) Commissioner Gregorio Larrazabal.
Through a tracker in its website, airfreight company Air21 reported that 859 out of 934 packages or 90.89 percent have been delivered to selected regions as of 3:58 p.m. Saturday.
Air21 is in charge of delivering election paraphernalia to Ilocos, Cagayan Valley, Central Luzon, Calabarzon, Mimaropa, Bicol, Western Visayas, Central Visayas, Eastern Visayas, and the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR).
As of 1:52 a.m. of Sunday, the online tracking of Air21 at http://www.air21.com.ph/xml/cfcards_public.php showed that 933 CF packages have been delivered out of the 934. The one for Eastern Samar in Eastern Visayas is in-transit.
Air21 also reported that 100 percent of CF cards have been delivered in the National Capital Region. (Angela Casauay/Sunnex)

Photoshop's default graphics are old and tired. Our set of drop-in replacement presets are useful, awesome, and brand-new. Read more
Photoshop's default graphics are old and tired. Our set of drop-in replacement presets are useful, awesome, and brand-new.
About this project
Photoshop's default graphics are old and tired.
Our replacements are awesome.
"Definitely Backing This!"
-- Drew Poland, Argyle Design
"This set is a huge improvement and definitely a worthwhile upgrade"
-- Catalin Zorzini, Inspired Magazine
"Sure hope this gets funded, I WANT"
-- Lawren Ussery, ManzanitaDesigns
"I love this!"
-- Calvin Lee, Mayhem Studios
PsDefaults is a complete set of modern, handcrafted replacement graphics that will give your copy of Photoshop a much needed kick in the pants. Useful brushes, gorgeous patterns, modern shapes, artistic photo-actions, and more. In less than five minutes you can transform your copy of Photoshop (and the work that comes from it) into something way above average.
Our set of default graphics already includes hundreds of awesome design elements, and with a little help from our awesome kickstarter backers we're hoping to launch the final product with over a thousand items. All of which are being lovingly crafted by a handful of designers in the U.S. or U.K.
How does it work? Is it easy to install?
PsDefaults can be installed in less than two minutes. We will provide instructions and lots of help -- remember our goal with this project is to design an all-in-one solution that anyone can use.
Adobe Photoshop has always had the ability to use outside presets: our set is just the first one to package everything so completely. We're not sure why nobody has done this yet, but it's certainly about time.
Useful to all Photoshop users
PsDefaults is made for anyone who uses Photoshop on a semi-regular basis: designers, developers, start-ups, photographers, or any of the hundreds of other creative types. If you use Photoshop this can make your life better and your designs prettier.
Meet the PsDefaults Team
PsDefaults is a collaboration between MediaLoot and WeGraphics and our team reflects that. Project lead is Mason Hipp (hey guys =D), our main designers are Tony Thomas and Nathan Brown, and our lead developer is Natalie Hipp.
Between us we have almost 40 years of combined Photoshop and design experience, and we've got way more than that working with art, web, and other related technologies. We've been involved in everything from photography, to app design, to web design, font design, book and print layout, hardware design, and much much more. If there was a group that should probably have thought of this idea last year, it's us.
Funding and Launch
We've been working on this type of design for years and already have many of the PsDefaults resources made -- but with your help we want to make this kit even bigger, better, and more organized.
Backing this project means we can spend more time designing new resources and creating a better set of replacements. Your generous pledge means more cool stuff for everyone.
Once we get certain levels of support we can get into the really exciting stuff:
- $20,000 -- We can add another designer and increase the size
- $40,000 -- More designs, probably over 2,000 resources included
- $80,000 -- We can start development of a software plugin for Photoshop to help installation / management of resources. This would be awesome.
We'll keep everyone posted about this as the project continues. In the meantime please back us if you are interested!
Get a Free Sample Kit
As part of our initial launch marketing we created a "PsDefaults Mini-Kit" that is basically just a small version of the main kit with many of the essentials. If you're looking to get an idea of the resource quality we highly recommend trying it out
To get the free kit just sign up to our newsletter and we'll send you a download link in the welcome email.
Frequently Asked Questions
A few questions that we get asked a lot:
I'm new to Kickstarter and just want the product, what now?
Over in the top of the right column you'll see a bunch of "pledges" -- these are how much you want to pay. Underneath each pledge is what you receive for that price. If you want the basic kit select the $20 pledge and we'll send it to you as soon as it is ready!
What version of Photoshop does this require?
This set works with anything from CS2 and newer, however installation is a bit more difficult in earlier versions. Prior to CS2 users were unable to load custom presets, however there are still ways to make parts of the set work.
I already have custom presets, can I still use PsDefaults?
Absolutely! Our set is designed as a complete replacement for the originals, but it will play nicely with any presets you already have and won't stop you from downloading others.
When will the final product be delivered?
We've got a considerable amount of the work finished, and if this is successfully funded we will be sending out download links in late July
I'm a member of MediaLoot / WeGraphics, can I get a discount?
Hey there, thanks for your support! Even though this kit does include a lot of resources from MediaLoot and WeGraphics, it also has a lot of new stuff and has taken hundreds of hours in additional work to organize and put together. So, sadly these are the lowest prices we can offer at the moment :-/
Can I get a preview before I order the full set?
Of course. Just go to the PsDefaults launch page and sign up for the email list, the preview will arrive shortly thereafter.
That's it for now =D Many more updates will be coming, so support us if you like the project and we'll be back soon!

Disney Closes Adventurers Club
- Posted by Johanna on July 10, 2008 at 7:42 am
- Category: LinkBlogging
So for the past month, I've been planning a December trip to Walt Disney World. (I haven't been since the mid-80s, shortly after Epcot opened.) Lots of research required to determine when to go (all adults, so we were looking for an off-time), which hotel to stay in (Swan), and which restaurants to reserve for dinner (which you can do 6 months ahead of time, and you have to to get some of the best ones).
In all my reading, I've been trying to keep up with what's going to change at the park by that time. The big announcement is that Disney is closing Pleasure Island, their group of nightclubs and dance venues, in September. No big loss — we weren't interested anyway — except for the Adventurers Club, which I just learned about. If Disney was smart, they'd move it to the Animal Kingdom area, which is lacking in attractions compared to the other parks anyway.
The story that made me feel like I was really going to miss out was Peter David's proposal story, where he asked his wife to marry him at the Adventurers Club. It made me cry, although it's very joyful.
3 Responses to "Disney Closes Adventurers Club"
- Dave Says:
July 10, 2008 at 10:02 AMI've only been to Disney once, not quite three years ago, and it was with my then-girlfriend/now-wife. She and her family drown in the Disney Kool-Aid on a regular basis and spend weeks planning everything.
I'll share with you what really impressed me: The food – particularly the "Disney Dining Plan." IIRC, it's $30 per day per person provided you are also purchasing park tickets and lodging for the same number of days. For that $30, you get one table service meal, one counter-service meal, and one snack (I really like the Mickey-shaped eskimo pies!). Combined with a couple boxes of granola bars in our hotel room for breakfast, this was all we needed – in fact it was more than we could comfortably consume in some cases. Most meals, I ate half of my wife's dinner in addition to my own and had to be rolled out of the joint. By the third day, our breakfasts consisted of doggie bags from the day before. The quality could not be beat, which is what really surprised me the most, given my "typical theme park" expectations. Our sit-down meals would have come to $60-70 a head had we been paying as we went. Great deal, highlight of the trip.
We stayed in one of the "All-Star resorts" which basically resemble a complex of Motel 6's with nice landscaping and theme decor. Cheapest you can get on Disney property but still nice enough – our goal was not to sit around the hotel anyway. If you drink coffee, buy one of the big plastic travel mugs for about $9 (?) – which you can refill as often as you wish for the duration of your stay.
Also, we went in January. Lines were short and weather was very pleasant. Neither of us particularly enjoy hot weather – we wore jeans and t-shirts everyday, usually jackets in the morning and after dark. Very nice.
- Dave Says:
July 10, 2008 at 10:30 AMAlso – favorite restaurants: The "Canadian" steakhouse restaurant at Epcot (can't remember the name); "The Land" all-you-can-eat at Epcot, and Mama Melrose's at the Hollywood-themed park (whatever the name was…). We also really like the barbecued ribs at one of the walk-ups at the Animal Kingdom park.
We were disappointed in the Moroccan restaurant at Epcot. The Mexican joint – well, I'm a snob about Mexican (11 years living in SATX will do that to you). We ate in the restaurant at the top of the "Contemporary" resort one night and were disappointed in both the food and the service. Our waiter was very slow and truly seemed to be doing his best to ignore us. He reminded me of the Maiter'd in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." Adding insult to injury, it actually cost us TWO sit-down meal vouchers (which we knew going in…). I think that was designed to discourage "people like us" from eating there.
- Johanna Says:
July 10, 2008 at 10:18 PMDave, thanks for the tips! We were aiming for cooler weather as well, since we're not water park people. The Canadian restaurant is Le Cellier, I think. We're planning to go to Melrose's as part of the Fantasmic show package. We're also planning on Artist Point (Pacific Northwest food), a couple of good seafood places, and the Rose & Crown Pub (because we love England). Oh, I'm getting excited about it again, and it's still five months away!
