Thanks for all the useful tips. Just got the pro version this week, its really a nice software. I have a question regarding the printing. I have drawn a component with several views to a scale of 1:1 on a single sheet. I have inserted a template for each view I want and scaled it accordingly to fit around the drawings. But when am doing print preview, and select multiple pages, the pages are aligned while my drawing are scattered all over the drawing space. How can I place each of the drawings I got on a sheet. Also is it possible to have different scale, for example If a want to show a zoomed view of part of the component. It is possible to do all than within a single file.
Kind Regards,

BRECKENRIDGE - Breckenridge Ski Resort now offers more than discounts on Foursquare: It's mapping where to find some of its best powder.
The resort's online marketing manager Morgan Bast says sharing what locals say are the best runs on a certain day can help other visitors have a better time.
She says the resort wanted to be sensitive to locals who can be protective of their favorite spots for powder. So its list compiling the "secret stashes" that visitors have marked on their own merely point out a run. People still have to explore a bit to find the good snow.
Heavenly does something similar.
Breckenridge uses several social networks, plus Vail Resorts Inc.'s EpicMix application, to interact with visitors but says it wanted to be on Foursquare too.

How to Buy Sports Memorabilia
Collecting sports memorabilia can be an enjoyable and profitable hobby. Here are a few tips,
definitions, and examples to help you understand the world of collecting sports memorabilia.
What is an Officially Licensed Product?
An item is officially licensed when the professional athletic association such as the NBA®, MLB® NCAA®
NFL®, NASCAR®, and NHL® grants a company permission to display team names, logos, and trademarks on their
products. Officially licensed items usually have a sticker or tag indicating that a particular
professional athletic association officially licenses that item.
Limited Editions
Owning a limited edition collectible indicates that only a certain number of a particular item was
produced or autographed. You will usually see two numbers displayed on a limited edition collectible, a
high number and a lower number.
What is Collectible Sports Memorabilia?
The certified signature of a professional athlete identifies a piece of collectible sports
memorabilia. The signature may appear on a picture, card, jersey, ball, or any other piece of related
equipment, but the signature must be certified by a limited number of distributors for that item to be
considered memorabilia.
Here are some examples of factors that determine an items' value:
Obtaining Authentic Athlete Signatures
There are two ways to obtain an authentic autograph from an athlete. The first method, which can be
difficult and time consuming, is to obtain the autograph in person. The second way is to purchase an
autographed item from a well-known, reputable company.
There are a number of companies that sign exclusive contracts with high-profile professional athletes
stating that a particular athlete will be paid to sign for that company exclusively. It is very
important to find out what company your favorite athlete has a contract with. Knowing this information
can help you avoid purchasing forged autographs. Well known, reputable companies usually provide some
type of certification so you can be sure the signature is authentic. This is often accomplished through
company witnesses or publicly held company sponsored signings events.
Here are some examples of different methods used to authenticate autographs.

Why was there war in Gaza?
WASHINGTON — Why was there an Israel-Gaza war in the first place? Resistance to the occupation, say Hamas and many in the international media.
What occupation? Seven years ago, in front of the world, Israel pulled out of Gaza. It dismantled every settlement, withdrew every soldier, evacuated every Jew, leaving nothing and no one behind. Except for the greenhouses in which the settlers had grown fruit and flowers for export. These were left intact to help Gaza's economy — only to be trashed when the Palestinians took over.

The Blackbird Flyback Appeal
Posted by Shreve & Co. at 2:59:35 AM in Bell & Ross (29)
The BR 126 Blackbird Flyback watch by Bell & Ross is a historic timepiece, particularly for chronograph aficionados who love the aviation theme of the 21-year old watchmaking company from Switzerland. The white and black dial of the BR 126 retains the compact, multi-functional professional watch appeal that is often ascribed to Bell & Ross pieces. An aperture at four-thirty indicates the date, a central seconds subdial sits at three o'clock, and opposite it at nine o'clock is a 24-hour indicator that separates AM and PM, for more convenient time-telling. At the central bottom part of the watch is the feature which gave it the name – the flyback function. A chronograph module movement on base Swiss ETA 2892, produced by Dubois Depraz, nestles underneath the complicated dial. With an orange bracelet and matching accents on the dial, the Bell and Ross Blackbird Flyback is classic with a dash of unconventional sophistication.
Find it at Shreve & Co in San Francisco, California – authorized retailer for Bell and Ross.

Readercon: Day 3
First, the Rhysling Awards have been posted and the winners announced to all the world, not just Readercon attendees. Congratulations all around.
Now to today: I arrived in the morning to see Greer Gilman read from the third story in her series begun with "Jack Daw's Pack" and the World Fantasy Award-winning "A Crowd of Bone". I'd heard Greer read other pieces of the story last year, and it's as vivid and unique an artifact of language as the other two, so I wasn't about to miss another sneak-peak. Her writing can seem, on the page, almost opaque, but when she reads it doesn't feel the least bit difficult or obscure to me. I told her this, and she said the stories really should be read aloud, they're designed that way. There were only a few of us at the reading, but it was 10am on a Sunday morning, and it didn't really matter, because it was an appreciative group, and engagement matters more than numbers. ("The average literacy in that room," Greer said to me, "was thrillingly high." Indeed. But that's been my experience of the whole convention, and one of the things that has made it so much fun.)
I dashed from the reading to the only panel I went to today: "Experiencing Sense of Wonder for College Credit: Teaching SF in the Classroom", where the panelists were: Fred Lerner (moderator), Samuel Delany, Theodora Goss, Leigh Grossman, and Suzy McKee Charnas. The participants gave their backgrounds first -- all teach or have taught science fiction and/or fantasy classes at universities, though in various ways and forms. Things got off to a lively start when Samuel Delany said he's against teaching a historical overview of science fiction, that such an overview is impossible and a waste of time, and that he's also against trying to define "science fiction" (he explained the reasons for the latter briefly, but I'd recommend reading his comments on defining SF and the various histories of SF in Silent Interviews, because this idea wasn't really picked up and discussed much during the panel.)
Suzy McKee Charnas said she always starts with a historical overview of SF, because most students' notions of what science fiction and fantasy are comes from movies. She said she starts with Alfred Bester's The Demolished Man, because it's old, but full of energy and invention, which many students don't think old things can have. Delany replied that he often does exactly the same thing, and usually starts with Bester, too, but he just doesn't call it history.
Leigh Grossman said he often starts a course with definitions provided by students answering the question "What is science fiction?" or "What is fantasy?" (he teaches separate courses on each). The responses can be illuminating and good ways to begin discussion, and without doing it the students would become frustrated because so much of what they encounter in his courses defies their expectations of what SF is and does. He said he draws across all majors, even though it's an upper-level English course with 6,000+ pages of reading per semester and 150 pages of writing (although summer class participants can get out of one paper if they go to an SF convention).
Theodora Goss said that her university is fairly conservative, and that she teaches mostly 19th century fantasy literature, because, alas, that's what easiest to convince the administrators is worthwhile for study.
There followed a lot of discussion of the lack of respect that SF gets from the academy, though most of the panelists said they've experienced more hostility from creative writing teachers and programs than from academic ones. Suzy McKee Charnas suggested the condemnatory attitude derives from ignorance of the SF field, and therefore a feeling that it's impossible to assess student work related to SF. Theodora Goss said that people in academic programs are looking for new territory to explore, since so much has been written about so many of the major literary figures. Leigh Grossman said that even though his classes aren't exactly creative writing classes, he gets refugees from other creative writing classes where the instructors pretended The Iowa Review is the only respectable market for stories.
Samuel Delany said he uses a series of single-author modules in courses, rather than a historical overview, with eight modules per semester. By using a couple of novels and some short stories by one writer, students get to see what specific writers do, rather than becoming confused by all the paradoxes and conflicts in the history of SF.
Leigh Grossman said he likes to destroy the Norton Anthology view of writing as "this writer followed that one" by talking about how writers work, their worries about money and contracts, their friendships and animosities across generations. This can illuminate and humanize past writers, writers who we think of as godlike, but who were probably just trying to figure out how to pay the rent or get an audience.
Theodora Goss said she tends to teach thematically, for instance with the theme of "the double", to show how writers take central ideas and play with them, for instance "Beauty and the Beast" as seen through Angela Carter's "The Tiger's Bride".
Leigh Grossman said he often has to spend the first day scaring away people who signed up for the course because it said "science fiction" and so they assumed it would be an easy A. Theodora Goss said that happens to her, too, but there are also plenty of students who already are interested in fantasy and science fiction, truly want to be there, and are passionate about the work -- something a bit rarer in a class on Emerson.
Samuel Delany said that bringing science fiction into a creative writing class is no more difficult than bringing people of diverse backgrounds, nationalities, ethnicities, etc. At the beginning, he says that all genres of writing are welcome and taken seriously. After all, eventually most writers want to try their hand at SF, as did Hawthorne, Poe, and Twain. It's part of the American traiditon. On the subject of preconceptions, he said he asks students who haven't read SF to list its themes (the students who have read SF are told to be quiet). These prejudicial myths -- utopias, space battles, etc. -- are written on the board, and inevitably turn out to be a fairly accurate description of a lot of SF. He said that he then bans any talk about these subjects in general, forcing the students to focus on the actual texts without their preconceptions.
Someone made a comment about many administrators saying students won't read more than a few pages for any class, and Delany pounced on this, proclaiming the idea of "teachability" as something that has made classes of all sorts meaningless and boring. If teachers get too caught up in trying to convert people to reading, science fiction, etc., this tends to control the canon in the humanities, and not in a good way. He said he prefers teaching graduate seminars for this reason.
From the audience, John Crowley asked what some of the modules Delany uses are, and he said Alfred Bester (the famous works, plus things like "Hell is Forever"), Theodore Sturgeon, Thomas Disch, Joanna Russ, Barry Malzberg, and he's even putting together a John Crowley module. He went on to say that he avoids writers that the students would encounter if they develop any sort of interest in SF -- no need for Isaac Asimov, for instance -- and that one of the best things teachers can do is introduce students to superb writers they might not otherwise encounter. He said his selection is based entirely on his own conflicting ideas of "quality", and that he lays these ideas out for the students to discuss and argue about.
Suzy McKee Charnas said one of the reasons she likes teaching SF is that she likes to talk about the edges of ideas, the edges of culture, and that SF is very good at doing that.
Theodora Goss said that SF of various sorts often investigates and represents things realism doesn't -- for instance, 19th century fantasy could often be seen as a discussion of the fallout from Darwin's ideas, with things like Dracula raising questions about the relationship between humans and animals.
And then time ran out.
I was going to go to another panel, but got caught up talking with a few people, because rumors that publisher Byron Preiss had just died in a car accident were, sadly, confirmed.
At one o'clock, though, I went to hear Samuel Delany read an assessment of the tenth volume of The Complete Stories of Theodore Sturgeon, an essay that has just come out in The New York Review of Science Fiction. If I'd been thinking well, I would have picked up a copy of the new NYRSF, but the dealer's room closed after Delany's reading. I'm just going to have to finally break down and subscribe, because it's an excellent, insightful essay. In it, Delany compares Sturgeon to Chekhov, and an audience member afterward asked him to elaborate on the comparison. He said there is a similarly large range of characters in Sturgeon's work as in Chekhov's, though Sturgeon tends to focus more on the working class, while Chekhov had peasants and aristocrats (because that's what existed at that time). Both writers have a strong connection to landscape in their stories, and, a real humanity to their perspectives. Someone asked him what his favorite Sturgeon story is, and he said that he couldn't answer that any more than his favorite Chekhov story, because he likes their sensibilities, and, as with any writer who is of great quality, their work as a whole creates a sensibility that he likes being immersed in.
After that, I went to hear Kelly Link read part of "Magic for Beginners", the title story of her new collection, and then Dora Goss read a magnificent story that will be appearing on Strange Horizons soon, as well as some poems.
And so ended Readercon. If I find more reports from the convention, I'll post links to them. Please keep corrections, emendations, different interpretations, etc. coming in the comments sections. If you're more visually oriented, check out Kathryn Cramer's photos from the convention. She even got me, though the camera exploded immediately after. (That's Sonya Taaffe behind me, by the way. I was walking toward Kathryn to introduce her to Sonya, because David Hartwell had asked to meet Sonya, and Sonya didn't know either of the Hartwell-Cramer duo of fabulousity.)
On my way out of the convention, I picked up a registration form for next year, because it announced the guests of honor for 2006: James Morrow and China Mieville.

Thanks for the capsule on ReaderCon. i=It was like going there without compiling traveling expenses. Very informative - much appreciated.ReplyDelete
Many thanks for your Readercon report, it's fascinating and indeed informative -- I learned many interesting new things.ReplyDelete
Delany's SF-teaching classes sound like a great thing.
Here's a suggestion: somebody should tape the lectures and debates at the next Readercon and make them available online as streaming audio/video.
Then again, your summary of Readercon is almost as good as having been there... but what did Barry Malzberg really say about AMAZING STORIES and sexual repression/dysfunction? Dig deeper into this issue... the public has a right to know!
- F. Brett Cox7/14/2005 12:15 PM
Belated thanks for your extraordinarily thorough Readercon report. As always, I didn't make it to as many panels as I should have, so I'm happy to get info about what I missed, and reminders about what I didn't.ReplyDelete
One correction: the Guests of Honor for the 2006 Readercon are China Mieville and James Morrow.
Thanks for catching that, Brett. I just fixed it. For years I have conflated Morressy and Morrow in my mind, even though I know they're separate people and rather different writers.ReplyDelete

Weather Journal: Freezing Temps then Short-Sleeve Weather
Freezing temperatures will stick around a few more days, but by this weekend (and yes, you're hearing this correctly) short-sleeve weather may be back.
On Thursday, cool dry weather will continue with highs in the mid-40s over most of the tri-state. The arctic weather is a remnant of the snowstorm earlier this week as stable high pressure has moved in behind the cold front.
However, the cold weather won't last. Temperatures will warm by about 20 degrees over the next few days as the region will experience some of its warmest weather (relative to the long-term, 30-year averages) since before Hurricane Sandy struck a month ago.
Highs in the low 60s could make a brief appearance early next week as a powerful storm system moves inland from the Pacific Coast to the midwest, pumping Greater New York full of sub-tropical air starting Sunday. Temperatures 12 to 15 degrees above normal should be commonplace for a stretch of about three or four days, concluding with our next shot at snow or rain next Wednesday night.
Sandy: One Month Later
One month ago Thursday, superstorm Sandy made landfall near Atlantic City causing what was likely the worst coastal flooding in New York City history. More than eight days before landfall, I wrote my first tweet warning of the possibility of an impending hurricane/nor'easter hybrid in Greater New York. Since then, Metropolis contributors have written more than 200 articles and counting on the storm and its aftermath.
On Wednesday, I contributed to a Washington Post piece looking deeper at the question as to why hurricane warnings weren't issued by the National Weather Service before landfall. Some meteorologists believe that this decision potentially added to the confusion and could have impacted emergency management decisions in advance of the historic storm.
As we take a moment to reflect on everything that's happened in the last month, here's a look back at Sandy as it happened through the eyes of WSJ readers.
Thursday's Greater New York forecast roundup:
- WSJ Headquarters in Manhattan:
- Actual High: 43; High feels like: 41
- Actual Low: 35; Low feels like: 32
- Weather: Cooler than average
- Brooklyn: 46/35
- Queens: 47/37
- Bronx: 46/34
- Staten Island: 46/35
- Poughkeepsie, N.Y.: 45/23
- Trenton, N.J.: 47/30
- Islip, Long Island: 46/32
- New Haven, Conn.: 45/29

Moral Death: A Kantian Essay on Psychopathy
Jeffrie G. Murphy
Arizona State University College of Law
Ethics, Vol. 82, p. 284, 1972
This article is concerned with an examination of the rights and responsibilities of those individuals having what psychoanalysts, psychiatrists, and psychologists call psychopathic, sociopathic, or antisocial personalities. It invokes a Kantian theme, however, because in coming to terms with the concept of psycopathy, one is also forced to come to terms with the question of what it is to be a person with dignity and thereby meriting that special kind of respect which is entailed by a moral commitment to justice rather than mere utility. While the author first addressed this issue in his book Kant: The Philosophy of Right, this article expands further on this issue and constitutes a significant rejection of that book's arguments. While, in the book, the author argued that it is a capacity to choose and not moral autonomy which confers dignity or worth upon persons, this article reverses that position and argues that it is moral autonomy and not capacity to choose which confers dignity or worthy on persons. No one had articulated a theoretical defense for this position, however, and this article attempts to fill that theoretical gap.

When it comes to restaurant locations, there are few spots more splendid than the sun-kissed waterfront at Oakland's Jack London Square. Even on a chilly weeknight, diners can grab a seat on The Forge's terrace near a fire pit or perch at a booth indoors.
There's no denying the allure of the rustic venue, with its industrial chic decor, fire-distressed woodwork and 800-degree wood-burning pizza oven. The cocktails are fabulous, the servers charming and professional and there is clearly considerable talent in the kitchen.
But there's an odd Jekyll-and-Hyde thing about The Forge's menu, which includes handcrafted pizza and fresh, seasonal fare. Many of the dishes are simply sensational. The handcrafted pizzas? Not so much.
The Forge is a collaboration between executive chef Jeffrey Amber from the W Hotel's XYZ restaurant and Les Bon Temps restaurant group, which is run by Bob Burke (Gordon Biersch in San Jose) and Michael Karp (Orinda's Barbacoa and Table 24). But the "pizza R&D," we're told, hails from Jeff "The Pizza Hacker" Krupman, whose pizza pop-ups in San Francisco quickly became a cult favorite. Clearly, all the right ingredients are here.
The cocktail menu includes half a dozen handcrafted drinks ($8 to $9), ranging from a Dark and Stormy made with house-made ginger beer to the Devil's Slipper, a highly addictive, magenta-hued, salt-rimmed riff on a margarita, made with tequila, hibiscus and agave.
Whether you opt for cocktails, wine or a craft root beer, make sure you pair it with an order of Crispy Cheese Curds ($7.50), ethereal little puffs of cheesy heaven served with a smooth marinara-style sauce for dipping. There are other appetizer options, of course -- Fire-Roasted Veggies ($7), twice-baked Potato Skins ($8) and on the night we were there, a generous bowl of plump, tender mussels ($12), served with aioli.
The salads showcase fresh, seasonal produce in interesting ways. A Spring Panzanella ($11), for example, features asparagus, spring onion, endive and mint with torn croutons, instead of the classic tomato-basil-bread salad. Romaine Babes ($10) mixes baby romaine lettuce with deviled egg and a buttermilk dressing. An arugula salad ($10) was sprightly with anchovy lemon vinaigrette, and a stunningly beautiful golden beet salad ($9), a special that night, was served with mild chevre, red onion and toasty breadcrumbs. We were still talking about that salad days later.
Whether you're at The Forge for dinner or lunch -- or brunch, beginning this week -- there are plenty of nonpizza options. The Buttermilk Fried Chicken ($18), which was served with a fluffy cauliflower puree and escarole, was moist, tender and crispy.
There are seafood specials, and the lunch menu also includes burgers, sandwiches and -- on our second visit -- a few offerings from the brunch-to-be menu, including huevos rancheros ($11), done in the pizza oven.
But the pizzas ($12 to $17) are problematic -- and they constitute half the menu, which makes star ratings problematic, too. Everything we've talked about so far warrants a 3-star rating or more. The pizza is another matter.
On paper, the pizza looks sensational: rapini with sausage, wild nettles with spring garlic and ricotta salata, pepperoni with Calabrian peppers, potato with guanciale and fontina and, of course, the classic Margherita.
But something has gone awry in this process, as if the kitchen is executing Krupman's instructions from some unspecified date, but no one is tasting what emerges or taking into account the seasonal variability of the heat of the peppers, the bitterness of nettles or the spiciness of sausages.
On this particular night, the toppings on all three pizzas we tasted -- nettles, pepperoni and a rapini special -- were overwhelmingly sharp. The underside of the crust had a bitter, acrid flavor, as if the flour that keeps the dough from sticking to the oven floor had been scorched.
I'd had The Forge's pizza last summer, when they had a preview booth at the Eat Real Festival, and the crust tasted nothing like this. So we returned on a sunny Sunday to try again, this time with a Margherita pizza. This time, it was significantly better -- the tomato and fresh mozzarella topping was as lovely as one could ask for, but the edges of the crust still had that tinge of acrid bitterness, although to a lesser extent.
The Forge is so near perfect -- gorgeous location, great service and some truly delicious dishes. Fix the pizza issue, and this place will be sensational.

Jason Anderson and Roger Phillips">
STOCKTON - A 9-year-old boy was fighting for his life at a Sacramento hospital after being struck by a Honda sport utility vehicle about 8 a.m. Wednesday in the 2800 block of North California Street, authorities said.
The boy was flown to the University of California, Davis, Medical Center, where he was listed in critical condition, said Officer Joe Silva, a spokesman for the Stockton Police Department.
The boy was not using a crosswalk when he was hit, authorities said. The driver of the SUV cooperated with the police investigation and was not expected to face charges, Silva said.
Umberto Garcia, who owns Panaderia La Yolanda on North California Street, said the boy often comes into his store to buy bread. Garcia said when the boy arrived Wednesday morning, he realized he had forgotten his money. He went home to get the money and was returning to the store when he was hit.
"He was a nice boy who would come in - a good boy," Garcia said.
A man wearing blue medical scrubs and traveling by bicycle identified himself as the boy's father. The man declined to answer questions, saying he was trying to find a way to get to UC Davis Medical Center to be with his son.
"Right now, I'm really just concerned about my son," he said.
Sergio Delgadillo said was standing outside Alpine Market when he heard the collision occur. Witnesses said the boy was thrown 30 to 50 feet upon impact.
"I heard a big thump," Delgadillo said. "I looked to my side and said, 'Oh, my God, a little boy has gotten hit.' "

Goldman Sachs No Longer Betting Higher Brent Oil Prices
Brent crude oil is poised to fall below $100 a barrel for the first time in more than two years, and that's flushing some bulls out of the market. Including Goldman Sachs.
The bank's oil analysts just issued a report ending its recommendation for a bet on higher Brent prices. They say a pull-back in European product prices has raised concerns that demand in Europe is turning out weaker than expected.
"We will not get clarity on whether this weakness in European demand is indeed just seasonal or whether it reflects something more lasting for another two months," the bank writes. "In the meantime, European margins could suffer further as the European refinery turnaround season has peaked and more and more refineries are coming back from maintenance. This could put further downward pressure on Brent prices."
Technically, the recommendation was for a long position in the S&P GSCI Brent crude oil total return index, a trade that Goldman admits has lost 15.48% since it was initiated in August 2012.
Brent crude has taken heavy losses this year, amid concerns that global economic weakness is translating to less demand for energy. After rising to a recent peak of $118.90 a barrel in February, the contract today hit an intraday low of $100.02 a barrel, its lowest level since July 2011.
Goldman is a heavyweight in the oil market, and its calls tend to attract notice and sometimes even move markets. Some say the bank's notorious 2008 call for oil prices to reach $200 a barrel helped propel the commodity to record prices that year.
The bank hasn't given up on the prospect of more expensive Brent crude. Global inventories for the end of March are close to last year's low levels, "suggesting that the market remains quite tight."
The bank says it plans to re-evaluate the trade when the state of European demand becomes clearer.

Worked straight out of the box
Reviewed by Anonymous Review Posted 24/11/2011
The devices are quite small and feel well constructed.
When I got them, I plugged then in to the mains and Ethernet and they worked right away giving much better throughput than my wifi at the far side of the house.
The only minor quibble was that the configuration software (needed if you want to change defaults) doesn't run under Linux and fails to find the devices when ran under VirtualBox in a NAT configuration so needed a little fiddling to work for me.

An Ontario County couple was arrested Saturday evening after deputies say they were smoking pot at a hotel with their infant son in the room.
Twenty-two-year-old Jennifer Snyder and 23-year-old Scott Peters are charged with unlawful possession of marijuana and endangering the welfare of child.
The Ontario County Sheriff's Office says that Snyder and Peters were smoking marijuana in a hotel room on Route 14 in Phelps around 5:10 p.m. Saturday evening. Deputies say the couple's infant son was also in the room at the same time.
Snyder and Peters were arraigned in Clifton Springs Village Court and released. They are scheduled to appear in Phelps Town Court at a later date to answer charges.

Archives 277
Racism Workshop Papers and Recordings
The print materials in this collection were transferred to MASC in 1980 with WSU News Bureau press releases (UA 1980-07, now processed as Archives 65), and separated from those on July 10, 1981 and retained as UA1981-18. The collection was processed by Michael Cardinal and University Archivist Mark O'English in October of 2009. In 2013, six reel-to-reel tapes of uncertain provenance (they were received in the Archives prior to 2008, but apparently never accessioned) were added to the collection.
In May, 1970 at Washington State University, students led demonstrations against U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War, and challenged university officials to recognize institutional racism as a fundamental problem with the university system. The Black Student Union (BSU), established at WSU in the fall of 1968, spearheaded May protests against racism and, in conjunction with several other radical organizations, presented President Glenn Terrell with eleven demands. Terrell initially rejected the demands which had called for, among other things, a mandatory ten day workshop in the fall to heighten faculty awareness of racism. 3,000 students protested that decision on May 21, 1970. On May 28, 1970, the Resident Instructional Staff (RIS) approved of two racism workshops, one for the fall of 1970 and one for the Spring of 1971. To plan the event, the RIS created the Minority Student Committee on Racism Workshops. To run the committee, Terrell appointed four minority students, Sarah Dennis, Ron Taplin, Rebecca Hobbs, and Rudy Ryser. The students planned to host prominent movement speakers, present movies, and make available printed handouts concerning racism. Although leaders of the BSU and MEChA (a Chicano students' organization) denounced the racism workshops as manifest symbols of university paternalism, the first racism workshop took place on October 7-8, 1970 and attracted 20,000 people. The second was held on March 9-10, 1971, and had a much smaller crowd.
This small collection has been broken into two short series, Print Materials and Reel-to-Reel Audio tapes. Series are organized by origin and type of material, and then filed in a loosely chronological order, with photographs at the end of the print materials.
This collection is open and available for research use.

Whether you fill it with pumpkin or toasty pecans, the success of a Thanksgiving pie lies in the pastry. The only mystery is how Pillsbury and Mrs. Smith convinced members of the Play-Doh generation that they were incapable of making the edible equivalent.
So back away from the freezer case. You, too, can make a perfect pie crust in less than two minutes, using nothing more magical than flour, butter and a splash of ice water. A few tiny tricks will ensure even nicer results, but frankly, even a slammed-together, overworked, homemade pie crust with raggedy edges tastes better than anything from a box.
So, here are two fail-safe routes to Thanksgiving pie nirvana -- a pate brisee or classic pastry crust and a crumbly take that even the klutziest cook can conquer. They're both easy as, yes, pie.
A pate brisee is a classic French pastry that consists of flour, butter, salt and ice water. It's perfect for encasing pies, pop tarts and quiches. It's so quick and easy that you can churn out multiple pie crusts on Thanksgiving morning before you've even had your coffee.
The secret to pastry prowess lies in the temperature of the ingredients and a little ESP. Your goal is to distribute ice-cold butter throughout the dry ingredients in itty bitty chunks, so it not only adds flavor and richness to the final result, but makes the dough flaky and light in the oven. (And before we go any further, let me just say that I don't spread Crisco on my morning toast; I don't put it in my pie crust, either.)
The easiest way to distribute the butter and make sure it stays cold? Take a tip from San Francisco food writer and cookbook editor Sarah Billingsley, co-author of "Handheld Pies" (Chronicle, $19.95, 144 pages). Cut your cold butter into ½-inch cubes, then pop them in the freezer while you're measuring dry ingredients into your food processor. Now drop those well-chilled little cubes into the flour mixture, and pulse them until you've got "pea-size clumps." If you think there is very little size difference between a ½-inch-cube and a pea, you are correct.
Add ice water a tablespoon at a time and pulse the mixture, not until it comes together into a ball but only until, to quote my mother, "it looks like it's thinking about it." Turn the mass of crumbly dough out onto a work surface, gently pat it into a disc and wrap it in plastic wrap. Your pie dough is done.
Tuck it into the refrigerator to rest for a couple of hours -- or, if you're impatient, like me, the freezer for 20 minutes. Recipes typically call for rolling out dough on a floured surface to prevent sticking, but this dough is well-chilled and already has all the flour you want it to have. Instead, roll it out between sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap with smooth, confident strokes of your rolling pin until it's 1/8- to ¼-inch thick. Peel off the top layer of parchment, then flip the entire thing into your pie pan. Peel off the remaining layer of paper. Gently pat the dough into the pan, and trim the edges so there's an even overhang.
How you embellish those edges is up to you -- and it's something any kid will be delighted to assist with. They can fold the overhang in on itself and imprint a border of fork-tine prints around the edges, or use tiny cookie cutters to cut little maple leaves, acorns or hearts out of the leftover scraps of dough. The little decorations can be affixed with a dab of beaten egg.
If that's still too complicated, bear in mind that any pie tastes just as nice in a cookie crumb crust, which consists of nothing more difficult than melted butter mixed with finely ground graham crackers, Oreos or gingersnaps. The latter is particularly well suited to a nicely spiced sweet potato pie. Call it a "gingerbread crust," and no one will even know.

OAKLAND -- Oakland's crime epidemic has helped render Mayor Jean Quan by far the least popular big city mayor in the Bay Area.
Polling data released this week by KPIX found that only 23 percent of Oakland residents approved of Quan's job performance. Sixty percent disapproved.
By contrast San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed's job approval rating stood at 55 percent and San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee's was at 61 percent.
The polling was conducted by SurveyUSA from Feb. 28 through March 3 with 500 adults queried in each city. The margins of error in the three cities ranged from 4.3 to 4.5 percentage points.
In a prepared statement, Quan said current crime rates are "totally unacceptable" and reiterated recent steps to fight crime, including the recent hiring of famed police Chief William Bratton as a consultant. The mayor said she otherwise generally refrains from commenting on poll numbers in part because "any poll can be skewed by different methodologies."
Major crime in Oakland has risen sharply in both of Quan's two years as mayor. Burglaries surged by 43 percent last year and robberies jumped by 24 percent.
Seventy-one percent of Oakland residents listed crime as the city's top problem, compared to 34 percent in San Jose and 13 percent in San Francisco.
The poll also found that 65 percent of Oakland residents thought the city was on the wrong track and only 11 percent said that quality of life in the city was improving. In San Jose, 54 percent of residents said their city was on the right track.
For Quan, the polling results wasn't as bad as the 78 percent negative rating she had shortly after the Occupy Oakland fiasco in late 2011. But it does show an overall deterioration of support since last spring when a poll conducted by Oakland-based political consultant Larry Tramutola found that 41 percent of voters viewed the mayor favorably and 51 percent viewed her unfavorably.
"I don't know if it's that she's not well liked or it's just overall frustration," Tramutola said of the mayor's poor polling figures.
If there's a bright side for Quan, it's that Oakland has few big name political figures, and no prominent public figure has stepped forward to challenge her in 2014. Councilwoman Rebecca Kaplan, who has won two citywide elections, said last year that she won't challenge Quan for mayor.
"I don't think she is really vulnerable," Tramutola said. "Vulnerability is going to come from someone credible being willing to step up and do it, and I don't see anybody like that."

STOCKTON – A 17-year-old girl died as the result of a single-vehicle collision early Monday at March Lane and Pershing Avenue, police reported.
At the time of the incident at 1:15 a.m. Monday, police reported the vehicle crashed into a tree, sending four occupants to the hospital, three of them with critical injuries. Police reported this morning that the girl succumbed to her injuries earlier today.
It appears that drugs or alcohol may have been a contributing factor to the crash, according to the ongoing investigation by traffic officers. Police have not provided further details.

- Super Bowl: 49ers fans turn to Broncos for revenge
That's what the start of a royal NFL dynasty looks and feels like.
I'm not just talking about the Seattle Seahawks, though everything they did to dent, dominate and deconstruct Denver in Super Bowl XLVIII on Sunday had dynastic overtones.
I'm talking about the NFC West, about all that it took for the Seahawks to get through that gauntlet, and, yes, about the 49ers, too.
The sure conclusion: The NFC West, the teams' young quarterbacks and these gold-plated defenses are built to rule the NFL for a while.
Maybe for a long while.
Just ask Peyton Manning about trying to deal with the speed and strength of Seattle's defense during this eventual 43-8 Seahawks stomping in East Rutherford, N.J.
After racing through the rest of the league, averaging an NFL-record 37.9 points in the regular season, Manning and the Broncos were blown to bits from the start in this one.
(Of course, the 49ers and Colin Kaepernick did far better in the NFC Championship game two weeks ago, at least until the fourth quarter.)
Or check with Denver's defense, which struggled to stay with or tackle the Seahawks' offensive stalwarts.
(But the 49ers defense -- probably the second-best in the NFL -- went toe-to-toe with Seattle in three monster matchups this season.)
It's too facile to say that the NFC Championship game was the real Super Bowl, because you never know how the matchups will play out.
Denver was an ideal opponent for Seattle because the Seahawks' incredible pass defense had everything necessary to erase Manning.
Plus, the 49ers lost superstar linebacker NaVorro Bowman and key offensive lineman Mike Iupati two weeks ago, and linebacker Patrick Willis and Frank Gore suffered lesser injuries.
It's hard to know how the 49ers could have patched that together in the Super Bowl, if they had hypothetically gotten there.
But still ...
Seattle survived the NFC West Challenge because it deserved to, and the team that won this division was by far the best in the universe.
Win the NFC West, conquer the NFL.
The 49ers had their chance to get a jump on the dynastic talk in last season's Super Bowl but lost to Baltimore in the final seconds.
Kaepernick was probably a little too raw and the 49ers defense wasn't quite running on all cylinders at the time.
Jump forward a year, and the 49ers were probably better this season than they were last season ... but so was Seattle.
The 49ers might be even better next season -- and you know what? So might Seattle, which is bursting with young stars.
And both teams keep getting better partly because they have each other to deal with and plot against.
Iron sharpens iron, as 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh has said, and the smartest, strongest teams force their rivals to get even stronger and smarter.
Meanwhile, in the rest of the division, Arizona won 10 games (and beat the Seahawks at CenturyLink Field in December) and missed the playoffs, despite fielding one of the better defenses in the league.
And St. Louis started pulling it together later in the season, has a bunch of premium draft picks coming and probably won't be a pushover itself in 2014.
So, this all definitely reminds me of another time and another set of title-worthy teams in a single division ...
From Super Bowl XVII (Washington over Miami at the end of the 1982 season) to Super Bowl XXX (Dallas over Pittsburgh at the end of the 1995 season), an NFC East team made it to nine of the 14 Super Bowls.
And won eight.
The NFC East won 57 percent of the Super Bowls in that period -- three by Dallas, three by Washington, and two by the New York Giants.
That was not a free-and-easy time to win titles, either -- it came while the 49ers were winning four of their own Super Bowl championships.
But back then, the NFC East was run by Bill Parcells, Joe Gibbs and then Jimmy Johnson; and Pete Carroll, Jim Harbaugh and maybe Jeff Fisher can be comparable to that.
The NFC West teams' architecture has strong similarities to those NFC East clubs': great general managers putting together physical, ground-oriented offenses and aggressive, talent-stocked defenses.
As this Super Bowl proved again, it's easier to keep a great defense going at top speed deep into the playoffs than it is a great offense.
Denver's offense sure hadn't faced anything comparable to Seattle before Sunday.
Then the Broncos experienced what happens when you play an NFC West team and you're not ready for an NFC West challenge.
This could happen a lot of times, in the biggest games, for several more NFC West-dominated years.

Hey, 49ers fans: The team is offering you the chance to "own your piece of history" from Candlestick Park before it's blown up -- but it'll cost you at least $649.
The Niners said Tuesday that current season-ticket holders at the San Francisco stadium will be able to take their actual seats home with them next year.
Single seats are not on sale, but pairs are going for aprice of 600 and -- surprise -- 49 dollars. About 70 percent of the money will benefit San Francisco parks and the team will get the rest of the proceeds.
Starting Dec. 9, the general public can start buying whatever seats are left over -- for $749.
About 70,000 seats are available but most teams that have offered similar deals have sold about 15,000 seats at most.
"We've got people who are here for 30, 40 years, who have invested not only in the San Francisco 49ers but in the city, too," said Jim Mercurio, the 49ers vice president of stadium operations. "They've called Candlestick home just like we have and we want to make sure they have an opportunity to take a piece of it with them when it's time to go."
The 49ers are scheduled to play their last game at Candlestick on Dec. 23, though if its winning ways continue, the Niners have a chance at hosting playoff games in January. Next year, San Francisco officials expect to destroy Candlestick Park to make way for a new development while the Niners will move to their new $1.3 billion home in Santa Clara.
Still, fans won't be able to watch the Niners on their big-screen TV while sitting in their old Candlestick seats in their living room until December 2014 -- after all the seats are removed, packaged and shipped.
Similar 42-year-old seats may go for the price of a cup of coffee at a yard sale, but the Niners are selling the seats from the Stick for the price of a brand-new iPhone 5s because of their sentimental value.
Fans have been sitting in these seats to see their beloved red-and-gold win NFC championships in 1990 and 1995, a Joe Montana-led 28-point second-half comeback against the New Orleans Saints in 1980 and, of course, "The Catch," which sent the team to the Super Bowl in 1982. San Francisco Giants fans may remember a few big moments at Candlestick, too, including the earthquake-interupted World Series game against the A's in 1989. The 'Stick has held quite a few special events, too, like the Beatles' final concert, in 1966.
Seats from old pro sports stadiums aren't cheap. Local media reported a $200 price for pairs of Houston Astrodome seats this year and $400 for a pair of New York Jets seats when the team closed down Meadowlands Stadium in 2009. Some seats at the old Yankee Stadium were on sale for as much as $1,999 a pair.
It's the second big-money seat sale for 49ers fans. The team for the first time began selling $2,000 to $80,000 "seat licenses" to fans for the right to buy season tickets in Santa Clara for $850 to $3,750 per year. Still, more than 90 percent of the seat licenses have been sold.
Earlier in the year, the team began asking fans to pay $195 to $545 to buy commemorative bricks, complete with a personal inscription, that will be installed outside the new stadium.
Mercurio said other commemorative items from the old stadium might be sold over the next few months but that they wanted to get the big-ticket item on the market in time for the holiday gift rush.
Staci Slaughter, spokeswoman for the San Francisco Giants, Candlestick's original inhabitants who shared the stadium with the 49ers for decades, said the team "has been in discussion" with city parks officials about "participation in some sort of way" to make seats available to Giants fans.

The high-pressure system has been sitting over Seattle for a while now. Sure there's a burn ban and the air quality is "moderate", but there's nothing like a clear morning in the Pacific Northwest. Today, like every other day, was a great day for riding to work.
I was at a Peets last week in Portland and didn't get my camera out in time to snap the cargo bike as it rolled past the window (I think the Peets customers were also alarmed that I jumped up so quickly to look at a bike). Todd had tipped me that box bikes were en route and now has the photos and more info.
Also, Marcus reminded me that Seattle has got some cargo bikes as well and Aaron is working on them.
During a quick scroll of the 2007 bloggies, I noticed that Fat Cyclist was nominated for the Best-Kept Secret Weblog. Def vote for Fatty and hope he accepts the award in lycra, on a fixie, and puts it in a messenger bag!
And if you missed Fattie's contest last week, the comments are still a good read. He gave away a Twin Six Jersey. I posted on Twin Six last year and unfortunately didn't get to meet them in Vegas at Interbike.
I found this music video of the Japanese hip-hop group Rip Slyme. The set-up is that group members are working in a bike shop. My Nihon-go isn't good enough to understand what they are talking about, at least not on the first listen. And I'm not sure how many more times I can endure to listen. BUT music aside, almost all the props in the video are actually quality keirin components and featured prominently enough that I can identify the model. And really, it's a welcome break from seeing every wannabe American popstar posing in an Escalade while lip-synching to some cheesewhiz manufactured song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86iUu-9qfIo
Shimano does a great job of pushing their top-level technology down to their lesser component groups. Cyclingnews.com just did a review of the 105 group, and I really have to second their praise. The 105 stuff works great on my rain bike. If I ever get around (read: get the funds) to building up a travel bike, I'll probably spec it with Shimano 105. The only thing I can't get past is the chainrings: What's up with the cookie-cutter finish on those? The cranks themselves look fine to me, but the rings look a little cheap. Because I'm a vain SOB, I'd swap out for the FSAs and it would be a great looking setup.

Last week me and my colleague went to Microsoft conference. During trip to Warsaw we were rather skeptical. We were talking to ourselves that is Microsoft and that it will be nothing special.... We did not know that this situation will change...
After after the occurrence of all speakers, eating lunch, and spending 12 hours in train, it's time for conclusions.
New interface
IE9 has a completely new interface, for me it is more intuitive and provides "more space" to see our favorite websites.
Hardware Acceleration
New Microsoft browser has a hardware acceleration, now your JS will be working with amazing speed. Also there is an acceleration for a video, from your graphic card. For me this looks really good.
More informations
Pinned Sites
Microsoft convinces us to use IE9 and Windows 7 through Pinned Sites. They take us to next level of "application". Now on this 2 platforms (IE9, Windows 7), every good prepared site (like Facebook, Amazon), can be "Pinned" to our taskbar, with all application feature - icon, notifications, context menu...
More informations
HTML5 and IE9 Support
First, and the the most important information for me it's that Microsoft joined W3C Consortium. Finally IE9 supports HTML5. New standard Isn't only a few new markups. Now HTML5(JS, CSS3, HTML5, MICROFORMATS) become a new multiplatform Engine. This new "Engine" provides lot of features like: Canvas, Data Storage, Offline mode, Drag and drop, Messaging. Imagine that you can combine it all... I think that new era is coming, era of HTML5 applications, games, websites. Talking About HTML5 we have to separate HTML for designer and HTML for developer.Lot of new elements are prepared only for programers (Canvas, Data Storage, Offline mode).We have to have a strong knowledge (most JS) to use this elements. There are also elements for designers like: semantic markups, audio/video, web forms, css3, microformats, and they are also really important to build new more semantic web.
What Support IE9.... Ok maybe it doesn't give us all elements from Safari, Chrome or Firefox, but I think that it finally gives us opportunity to build better web, application, games... It will take me a few weeks, months, to find out that new Microsoft product is really good, but now I see big step forward from MS company and I'm really happy because of that.
More informations
New (improved) Developer Tools
Like everyone knew, from IE8 it had Developer Tools. Unfortunately we prefer to use Firebug. After MS conference I consider to use their new Tools to Inspect, validate, debug my scripts,css, html, it is fast and has a few nice features.
More informations
HTML5 - neverending story
On January 22nd 2008 the W3C published the First Public Working Draft of HTML 5 - this is a great step forward, as this draft has been in the works for several years. Does it mean, that HTML5 becomes finally our long awaited web standard ? Unfortunately not yet.
W3C consortium announced, works for Public Draft will be contiunue to the end of 2012 year, but this is only halfway. After this, special teams will take thier time to tests, tests and tests. So, initial release date for HTML5 standard is announced for year 2023.
How does look now browsers Implementation of html5:
- At this moment
- Firefox ( version range 3.6 -> 4.0 )
- Google Chrome ( version range 8.0 -> 10.0 dev )
- Opera ( version range: 10-11.1 )
- Safari ( version range: 4.x-5.x )
- Internet Explorer ( 9+ )
- custom hacks ( for sure thing to be working )
- performance differences
- appearing and disappearing features
As we already know, the road to happiness is not ending, so we must to be patient.
- At this moment
This movie doesn't deserve Oscar !
Well, well... it's supposed to be so beautiful. One standard for everyone, even Microsoft finally joined W3C team - whooaa !! But hold on, be careful - <saboteurs> do not sleep! :)
It seems to, war of Web Browser raise once again, and gets some new military objectives -> embed audio/video format in html5.
As You may know, we can find a new <video> tag in html5 spec. This was supposed to be an easy way to embed video on our content. But only in theory. Meanwhile the producers of web browsers are still trying to force thiers native video formats:
- WebM for Chrome 6, Firefox 4, IE 9
- mp4 for older Chrome, Safari, iPhone, iPad, Android
- ogg for Firefox 3
- SWF as fallback for older browser
