Study by former CA Supreme Court justice, Cruz Renoso. (1) Protesters didn't violate the law. (2) Nothing has happened (or is likely to happen) to Lt. Pike, the police officer who sprayed the pepper spray. He violated direct orders. He used an unauthorized device. He used the device in violation of safety guidelines. Protected by union and laws for public employees. Internal affairs investigation results are secret.

"That being said, though I am not calling for her resignation at this point, I do expect her to lead.  And right now I have not seen much in the way of ideas/leadership coming from her.  She could, for example, say that charges will be dropped for the people arrested during/after the pepper spray incident.  She could say that there will be an outside investigation, not an internal one, into the events.  She could say specific things that the University will do to prevent such incidents in the future.  Based upon her prior record I am willing to give the benefit of the doubt.  But changes and action better happen fast."

Someone in the group (I have no idea who) calls for a “mic check,” and even more importantly, the group of people knows how to respond. The gestures of the occupy movement become language when they become recognizable. A group chanting “shame on you” suddenly is able to speak, be understood, and responded to. Force is no longer the only option on either side.

In that moment, the human microphone not only allows the group to address the police and announce its nonviolent intentions, it also allows the group to talk to itself. Before the mic check, everything is responsive.

I call for your resignation because you are unfit to do your job. You are unfit to ensure the safety of students at UC Davis. In fact: you are the primary threat to the safety of students at UC Davis. As such, I call upon you to resign immediately.

Our research was first intended to develop means of disinfecting wooden cutting surfaces at home, so that they would be almost as safe as plastics. Our safety concern was that bacteria such as Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella, which might contaminate a work surface when raw meat was being prepared, ought not remain on the surface to contaminate other foods that might be eaten without further cooking. We soon found that disease bacteria such as these were not recoverable from wooden surfaces in a short time after they were applied, unless very large numbers were used. New plastic surfaces allowed the bacteria to persist, but were easily cleaned and disinfected. However, wooden boards that had been used and had many knife cuts acted almost the same as new wood, whereas plastic surfaces that were knife-scarred were impossible to clean and disinfect manually.

Computer Lab Management, part of IET-Academic Technology Services, has done the survey each winter for 12 years to track computer trends among typical students. Faculty and staff can use the data for various reasons, such as deciding which systems to support, or how to use emerging technologies to work with their students.
