An Interview with WIT Studio's Kotomi Deai and Hiroshi Shimizu
Date: Saturday October 10th 2015 [15:51] | Posted By:
MCM Group Events
are always great for anime fans. At the end of September 2015 Kotomi Deai and Hiroshi Shimizu of WIT Studio were anime guests at the
MCM Scotland Comic Con
in Glasgow. We were lucky enough to be able to interview them and discuss their latest project The Rolling Girls and what it's really like to work in the anime industry.
Full Story
The Rolling Girls has gained lots of fans since its release in January. How do you feel about that?
Kotomi Deai:
I'm really glad and grateful that you're watching it and enjoying it.
Hiroshi Shimizu:
I feel the same, but I want even more people of different ages and people who don't usually watch anime to watch it as well.
Is it true that some of The Rolling Girls' songs are covers from the punk rock 80's band The Blue Hearts? If so, why did you decide to choose this band? If I'm wrong, sorry where did most of the musical inspiration come from?
Kotomi Deai:
Lots of people in Japan grew up listening to the Blue Hearts and being encouraged by them when they were younger including the producers and the writer of Rolling Girls and because the whole concept of The Rolling Girls is to support and encourage people that fitted right in with that idea. So we got the voice actors to cover the songs.
WIT Studio is a new studio to the anime industry. Certain studios have their own style, their own artistic hallmarks. If you saw one of their titles without knowing it was by them, you could most likely guess the production studio. Do you think WIT Studio's will have its own distinct style?
Kotomi Deai:
WIT Studio has young producers and the staff including the creators are all quite young fresh talent, so in a way it's still developing, but they are very passionate and they want to make things that are new, that are fun and I think that comes across.
If you could have any fighting ability like the characters in Rolling Girls, what would it be? Would you dress like a sentai team member? Have a giant safety pin?!
Kotomi Deai:
I think I'd rather be part of the rest and be blown away in a fight between the bests.
Hiroshi Shimizu:
I'd rather be able to use the force. I would a best who can use the force!
And where would you be?
Hiroshi Shimizu:
I'd be a Tokyo best!
How would you say the anime industry has changed since when you first started working in the industry?
Hiroshi Shimizu:
There are waves of what kind of anime are popular in each era and you need to adjust to that in order to get on and if you can't adjust it can be quiet difficult. In future I think there's going to be more and more work using CG, using tablets. We'll need to be able to adjust to the new software developments.
Kotomi Deai:
When I joined the industry it was already pretty much fully digitalised. Before that it had been drawing on cels, each shot had to be drawn individually on the clear cels and even painted on the cells, but that turned digital and things got faster. Things got more efficient and the software improved to make things even more efficient. The better software and the more efficient processes are allowing creators to do more. So there are all sorts of new possibilities opening up.
Hiroshi Shimizu:
I think the biggest effect so far has been on photography and colouring, but I think going forward it'll probably have more of an impact on the actual work of rendering and animation.
Kotomi Deai:
More and more people are animating now using a pen tablet. So we're moving towards a paperless industry. Although I don't think it'll get there quickly.
What do you do when you're not animating? Does it ever get too much? What pastimes do you have to break away from the animation world?!
Hiroshi Shimizu:
I've had various hobbies. I was obsessed with motor bikes at one point, then I was obsessed with diving and then there was another time I was obsessed with cycling and now I'm into tennis.
Kotomi Deai:
I do listen to a lot of music. I always look forward to going travelling after a big job has finished.
Kotomi Deai, looking at your biography, you've been prolific with storyboards. What title(s) did you particularly enjoy doing the storyboard work on and why?
Kotomi Deai:
Whenever you're working on a project you're focusing on that project so it's always fun and it's always fulfilling. I've got to do a lot of ending animations and that's quite good fun, because they tend to leave a lot of it up to me.
Compared to The Rolling Girls, Silver Spoon seems to have a lot more character development. Which type of anime do you prefer to direct? Those with slower, more character developing storylines, or those with highly energetic action packed scenes?
Kotomi Deai:
I'm personally more interested in the human drama, but this was the first time with Rolling Girls that I worked on an action anime all the way through from the storyboard and it was good fun. I'd like to have another go.
Hiroshi Shimizu, looking at your biography, you've been prolific with key animation work. What title(s) did you particularly enjoy doing the key animation work for and why?
Hiroshi Shimizu:
I just love making characters move and animating them. So I like drawing key animations, where there is a lot of movement. As for what particular works were fun to animate, Porco Rosso, the fight scene in that and then there are baseball scenes in Only Yesterday that I really enjoyed doing. I had to do a lot of research and that's fun.
You have worked on so many incredible projects, from The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Princess Mononoke and Porco Rosso to Fullmetal Alchemist, FLCL, A Tree of Palme and of course The Rolling Girls. What a stellar resume! What is it that inspired you to become an animator in the first place?
Hiroshi Shimizu:
It started when I saw Hayao Miyazaki's Lupin the Third Castle of Cagliostro. There was great action that and I thought I wanted to make something like that.
How does it feel to have worked with people like Mamoru Hosoda and Hayao Miyazaki?
Hiroshi Shimizu:
Hayao Miyazaki was very scary. I had nightmares for about a year after finishing Princess Mononoke. If I saw someone in the street from behind who looked like Miyazaki-san, I couldn't go anywhere near them! But over time I came to realise that it had been a really good experience to be involved in Princess Mononoke and I'm still a really big fan of Miyazaki's work.
With Hosoda-san we're similar ages, which I think helps us to have similar ideas, but he's very particular and that can be very difficult.
We've heard that you will also be working as animation director on Steambot's Urbance? Would that be your first non-Japanese animation project? How are you finding it?
Hiroshi Shimizu:
It's not my first non-Japanese project. Five years ago I worked with a company call Ankama Japan, which is a French company that had a branch in Japan and we made a spin off episode of a series called Wakfu. I was the character designer and animation director on that.
I've also worked with a company called Yapiko on some promotion work and some jobs that have come from France.
How is progress on Urbance going? We haven't heard much news about it.
Hiroshi Shimizu:
We've finished the pilot recently and I think the plan is to make a series based on that next year, but there aren't enough staff at the moment. So we're either going to get more people or ask another Japanese animation studio to help out. I think that's the plan.
After working on all these amazing anime projects and working with so many creative geniuses, have you ever thought about writing and directing your own stories? If so, would these stories be taking inspiration from the projects and people you've worked on, or would it be something else very different? And if not, what would you like to work on next?
Hiroshi Shimizu:
When I started out, I thought I wanted to be a key animator forever and just draw pictures forever, but then I started to realise as a key animator you only see one tiny part of the project. Even when you watch on screen you section is over in a flash, which is quiet sad. So then I started to want to be more involved in different areas, like storyboarding, like direction. I would like to create my own original project, but there aren't that many opportunities to do that in Japan at the moment. So I haven't had an opportunity yet, but I do have a few ideas if I did get that opportunity.
In Japan people always say "Oh! You were involved in making Princess Mononoke or whatever, that's amazing!", but actually Miyazaki-san's amazing and I'm not particularly amazing. So I just feel like I want to make something that I can be proud of in that way.
There are some things I've been thinking about since I've been a primary school student that I would actually like to make reality. For example when I was at primary school I had some weird friends and I'd like to make them the main characters!

The Breakfast Club Grills Mistah F.A.B About V-Nasty Using The N-Word and Not Getting Played In Oakland
Our antagonistic pals at Power 105.1's Breakfast Club have grilled up everyone from Mindless Behavior to Ray J and last month's VIBE cover girl Kelly Rowland. In their most recent interview, the tripled-headed team got up on Oakland, CA rapper Mistah F.A.B about a variety of talking points from the ever-evolving Oakland hip-hop scene, to the controversial Kreayshawn and her even more controversial crony, V-Nasty, who has no qualms with a being a n-word-slinging white girl. But the convo didn't stop there, DJ Envy, Angela Yee and Charlamagne also got Fab to speak on his low presence on hometown airwaves. Peep his thoughts on all this and more in the video below.

The History of Forensic Accounting
It has been stated that the first known use of forensic accounting was in the conviction of Al Cappone!
As the business world has grown and simultaneously become more complex, the need to prove that one side or the other (in a contractual interpretation) is closer to reality!
An insurance policy is an example of a contract where the two sides often disagree over dollars when a loss has occurred. Today, most businesses carry some form of insurance coverage to cover "loss of income" or "business interruption" insurance to cover fixed expenses when there is a loss of income. Even inventory levels may be hard to prove without re-establishing the financial trail.
In most occasions where there is a partnership (marriage or business) and it needs to be dissolved, there is a dispute over what each side is entitled to and a dispute over what encompasses the entire asset base.
Forensic accounting is also necessary to establish what adding a new product line will cost, or what it will earn. Whenever there is an acquisition or a merger, forensic accounting is the basis for doing or not doing the "deal."
It's easy to see that with the increased reliance of lawyers to most everyday business transactions, there is also a need to protect your financial position.
NAFA is a natural place to seek a certified CPA to perform forensic accounting analysis.

I apologize for the long silence, everybody. I've been ultra-busy doing awesome stuff at CHI 2013 and there will be tons of blog posts to follow from some of the stuff that's been started there. In the meantime, here's a link to something that has taken a little bit of time to push through AT&T's PR, but my post about getting into tech research is finally live on HuffPost!
I'm also committing to blog every week until the end of the summer, so hopefully no more long periods of absence on my end. (Edit: And then I got a surprise last-minute PC invite, so I guess my blog-a-thon is on hold for a bit)

Despite a 15 percentage-point drop in Gov. Andrew Cuomo's approval rating yesterday, voters largely agree with his agenda, a Quinnipiac poll today found.
Topping the list is a bill to ensure equal pay for women, the poll said, according to 53 percent of voters.
"That liberal shibboleth – equal pay for women – wins overwhelming support in this liberal state," said Maurice Carroll, director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.
A Quinnipiac poll yesterday showed the first major drop in his poll numbers since he took office in 2011. His approval rating fell from 74 percent to 59 percent because of his push for a new gun-control law.
On other issues, though, Cuomo seems to have a majority of the public's support. Only whether to allow for hydrofracking is evenly split—which has been the case for years.
Voter sentiment on other issues are, according to the poll:
• Campaign finance reform – 31 percent highest priority and 37 percent high priority;
• Bar exam-type test for teachers – 28 percent highest and 43 percent high;
• Merit pay for teacher – 26 percent highest and 45 percent high;
• Longer school day/school year – 17 percent highest and 39 percent high.
Voters supported 80–17 percent raising the state's minimum wage.
On fracking, 43 percent supported it and 42 percent didn't.
The post Voters to Cuomo: Ladies First appeared first on Politics on the Hudson.

A reader writes:
Do the rubrics for Holy Thursday allow the priest the was the feet of 6 men and 6 women? Can you point out where I might find a definitive answer? I am told that Rome says, "no" but that the U.S. Bishops have given permission for this as a "cultural adaptation".
There are two things to note about this statement:
First, it correctly states:
The rubric for Holy Thursday, under the title WASHING OF FEET, reads:
"Depending on pastoral circumstance, the washing of feet follows the homily. The men who have been chosen (viri selecti) are led by the ministers to chairs prepared at a suitable place. Then the priest (removing his chasuble if necessary) goes to each man. With the help of the ministers he pours water over each one's feet and dries them."
The term viri selecti does indeed mean "chosen men"–that is, adult males who have been selected for participation in the rite. The term vir always designates an adult male in Latin. This rubric requires twelve males because they are representing the Twelve Apostles whose feet Jesus washed.
Second, the statement goes on to say:
[T]he element of humble service has accentuated the celebration of the foot washing rite in the United States over the last decade or more. In this regard, it has become customary in many places to invite both men and women to be participants in this rite in recognition of the service that should be given by all the faithful to the Church and to the world. Thus, in the United States, a variation in the rite developed in which not only charity is signified but also humble service.
Taken simply as a factural description, this is true. It has become customary in many places in the U.S. to invite women to participate in the rite, and for the reasons stated.
Unfortuantely, that doesn't make it legally permitted to do so. The Code of Canon Law requires:
Can. 846 §1. In celebrating the sacraments the liturgical books approved by competent authority are to be observed faithfully; accordingly, no one is to add, omit, or alter anything in them on one's own authority [SOURCE].
Since no legislative action has been taken allowing local variation in regard to this matter, it appears that the use of women and children in the rite of footwashing is at variance with Church law.
What the statement on the USCCB's web site appears to do is treat the matter ambiguously such that it states the law in a way that is accurate while describing a practice prevalent in the U.S. witout noting that it is at variance with the law.

Lycurgus began with a decree that all gold and silver coinage was outlawed and all Spartan coins must be made of iron. He made the coin units low value and heavy so they were difficult to store and transport. He had the hot iron doused with vinegar to make the metal weak and fragile.
This caused crime to disappear from Sparta, because who would steal, rob, or plunder something that could not be hidden, envied, or melted down into anything? All useless alien crafts disappeared because there was no sale for their products, since the iron money could not be used anywhere else in Greece.
As Plutarch puts it,
"It was now impossible to buy foreign goods and no cargo of merchandise would enter a Spartan harbor, no teacher of rhetoric trod Laconian soil, no begging seer, no pimp, no maker of gold and silver ornaments – because there was no coined money. Thus gradually cut off from the things that animate and feed it, luxury atrophied of its own accord."
The wealthy had no outlet to show off their wealth and were resigned to keep it in storage.
Craftsman, now released from useless jobs, began to work in the manufacture of essential goods such as tables and chairs, so the competition among them was fierce and the resulting quality of these products first rate.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is likely the only woman who the Democrats could get elected president this year, but there is a deep bench of others poised to run for and possibly win the White House in the future, according to the chair of the Democratic National Committee.
"If she doesn't run," said Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Clinton, "I think we are within just a couple of cycles for a woman to be elected president of the United States."
Speaking at a media breakfast hosted by the Christian Science Monitor, the Florida lawmaker who has held the top party job for over three years added, "I think we actually have quite a few potential women candidates who could run, probably some in the nearer term, some in the longer term."
Several names of potential women candidates in 2016 have been mentioned, the most often being Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren. Progressives and liberals consider her an able rival to Clinton.
But the party establishment has been jumping on board the Clinton express, the latest being Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine, a former Democratic Party chairman.
Wasserman Schultz said that the party not only has a number of potential female candidates on deck but is also looking at business executives who might jump in.
"There are many capable, significant executives in this country who aren't in politics and whose interest isn't known to us that would be quite capable of mounting a campaign and serving as president and running as Democrats.Paul Bedard, the Washington Examiner's "Washington Secrets" columnist, can be contacted at email@example.com.

Forums → News and Feedback → We need a help wanted/looking for helpers/looking for project forum
- 6 Replies
No, I'm not talking about 'Help me with this issue' kind of help wanted.
I mean, a forum to go to if someone is working on a project and they need an extra programmer/artist/writer/voice actor/whatever. Or if someone has skills that they would like to lend to a project, but don't know of any projects and so they advertise their skills.
I see this sort of thing on places like indiedb or Newgrounds, but I haven't seen it here after a bit of searching. I think it would help foster a stronger community on AG by bringing people with different skill sets together to help each other.
If there is some reason why this isn't implemented, perhaps someone could enlighten me. I only came to the forum see if there was a project that could use voice actors, and I'm kinda new to the forum, so I shall use that as my excuse for lack of knowledge.
Um, wouldn't that be under programmer section?
Not really, considering it is a suggestion and it also involves writers.
As far as the idea goes, it seems quite good, we don't have an actual process/thread where people post what they're qualified in/capable of doing and offering their services.
It could be quite a good idea.
If someone needs a programmer/writer, they can post in the Programming/AMW. It's been done in the past, and it works (sort of). The problem lies in that the vast majority of users have little to no knowledge about game production, and theres other websites that an individual can use to get dedicated support for game production outside of the casual dabbler.
In short, theres far better places this can be done outside of AG.
In short, theres far better places this can be done outside of AG.
But you forget, this isn't Newsgrounds. Theres already a section for programming; you'll note that theres an entire months worth of posts on the first page. There isn't enough demand, IE active users, to justify making an entirely new forum for something as niche as a help wanted. An individual can post in the Programming section, or in the AMW. I works. I just don't see how theres a problem with the current system when there is so very little demand for this, and far better places to do this than here.
Maybe... some changes can be made to The Forge (Programming Forum and Art, Music & Writing Forum) for the (near) future in terms of having a place to gather the artistic and technical persons, but I think it works for now, that is... there still isn't much happening there at the moment, but it is the place to go to for what you suggest. =)
So if someone has a great idea/story for a game, wants to lend his artistic skills for a game, made some killer music for a game or wants to start developing a game, they can all make a thread about it in one of the two exsisting forums right now.
All that needs to be done is get more people aware of this and willing to participate in it. And that's something Salvidian (for one) is trying to accomplish as his (sort of) pet project right now. Kudoos to him!

What? Why those dirty S.O.B.s!
Okay, not really. But what if they did? Imagine how easy it would be to just place all your listings in one easy to use and navigate location. A single place where masses of your potential buyers would go to shop for their new home. No more having to deal with running your own listings site, no more dealing with code, or web geeks – you could just sell homes.
On the other hand, how would you be able to differentiate yourself, and your listings from the others on the shelf next to you? What would make you the best person to work with?
I Just Want to Sell Homes
You have to ask yourself – Do I want the individuality and customization of doing everything on my own? Do I want to have an influence on how my potential customers find and perceive me? Or, do I want the ease of letting the "big guy" do the work for me, knowing that I'll be on the same shelf as my competitor? Do I want to make my customers dig through hundreds of listings they may have no interest in before they find mine? Both options have their own pros and cons, it's not an easy choice, and it's one that many Realtors struggle with every day – often even after they make it.
What Does the Buyer Think?
For the sake of discussion, let's say that you are selling toasters, not homes – and I want to buy one.
I may know nothing about the brands (that would be your homes), I just care about the price and if the box has pretty pictures and maybe a few bullet points to tell me how many slices of toast I can burn at one time. I don't really understand, or even know about the subtle nuances of the various makes and models.
Clean up on Aisle Nine.
When I step into my local Wal-Mart to browse for a toaster I am almost always assaulted with ads and gimmicks for related and sometimes competing products…"buying a toaster, perhaps you want a new blender as well". Perhaps I should get my oil changed too. Heck, I am already here, right? After I finally make it to the toaster aisle, who do I talk to If I have questions about the features? Will someone be able to tell me if it's kid-friendly? What about pets (My dog loaves toast)? If I'm able to somehow locate one I think will work for me (and buy it), what will I tell my friends who love my new toaster and want to know how I found it? Go to Wal-Mart and stare at boxes and hope to find one you like?
Hi, How Can I Help You Today?
Now let's flip that scenario. I walk into a locally owned appliance store (which I found by asking a friend by the way) and am welcomed by a smiling sales person (that would be you, the Realtor). He is very knowledgeable about the various toasters, knows the features and functions of each. He talks to me, finds out my needs and wants. We develop a relationship. Then – he makes recommendations about which toasters he thinks would be good choice for me and my family. Rather than just pointing down an aisle of endless boxes, he'll actually guide me through a tour of each – will let me look at them up close…touch them even. Wow…sounds nice.
I'm so Confused…
What's the best way to go? That, my friend, is a question only you can answer. Every person has a different set of priorities, a different approach to how they sell toasters, er, I mean homes.
What do I Know About Real Estate?
Me, almost nothing – I am not a Realtor. However, I am an SEO person, and I like it when things can be made to stand out from their competition. Also, I did recently buy a toaster – and there has GOT to be a better way.

Howard Interviewed at The Gigcast
Much as I'd love to regale you with more Tales of a Ton of Books, it's time to keep things interesting with a podcast. Tim Shea and Scott Gallatin of The Gigcast interviewed me just before Thanksgiving. Download and listen to Gigcast 118 (or click on the logo to the right, and use their handy player instead), where I don't think I say much at all about having 4450 kilograms of books in my garage. Mostly I talk about how cool my job is, and how wonderful my readers are.
(For those who are curious regarding my progress on the books, I've now sketched over a thousand pounds of them, and the dent in the stack has gotten bigger.)

ODA Home > Institutional Research > Surveys > Campus Climate Survey 2006 > Highlights
Highlights of the Results of
the 2006 CU-Boulder
Results are described below for the entire campus and for racial/ethnic, gender, and class standing (i.e., undergraduate and graduate) subgroups. In addition, separate results are provided for students with disabilities, international students, and gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender (GLBT) students. This section also contains an overview of results from prior Climate and Community Surveys, and a brief discussion of results pertaining to students' most important group identities, as reported on the questionnaire.
Campuswide Results
À Overall, students rate the campus as friendly and welcoming. A majority of both undergraduate and graduate students report that CU-Boulder is friendly, both inside and outside of the classroom environment. Nearly half or more of both undergraduates and graduates report feeling welcome, valued, and supported. Nearly 80% report feeling accepted either "often" or "very often.ö
À Students are generally comfortable in class and rate the classroom environment favorably. Approximately 80% of both undergraduate and graduate students report that they are comfortable being in class. A majority of students (about two-thirds) report that diversity is accepted in the classroom. Two-thirds of graduate students and over 80% of undergraduates report that the classroom environment is civil. Very few (less than 7%) report that it is racist or sexist. In contrast, students view the outside-classroom campus environment less favorably than they do the inside-classroom environment, with less than half of both undergraduates and graduates saying that CU-Boulder is accepting of diversity outside the classroom.
À Faculty value diversity. Over 80% of both undergraduates and graduates indicate that faculty value diversity. Students report that they very seldom hear faculty make disparaging remarks directed toward others.
More information on campuswide results
Results by Race/Ethnicity
À Students in different racial/ethnic groups view the climate similarly. In general, there are no large discrepancies among racial/ethnic groups (including international students) in their survey responses. At both the undergraduate and graduate levels, most groups indicate that the CU-Boulder climate is welcoming, friendly, and accepting of diversity.
À African-American students rate the campus and the Boulder community less favorably. Although overall satisfaction among African-American undergraduate students is high and they generally feel accepted, welcome, and supported on campus, their ratings are somewhat lower than those of other undergraduate racial/ethnic groups. African-American undergraduate students also perceive less favorable conditions in the larger Boulder community. They report lower levels of comfort in several community settings, most notably shopping or eating at restaurants in Boulder and looking for a place to rent in Boulder.
À African-American and Hispanic students report hearing derogatory remarks more often. Derogatory remarks made by faculty about racial/ethnic minorities are rare. Among undergraduate students, African Americans and Hispanics generally report hearing such remarks more often than do students in the other groups. Unfortunately, derogatory remarks made by students are much more commonly reported by all students. Once again, African-American and Hispanic/Latino undergraduates generally report hearing such remarks more often than do other undergraduate students; and Hispanic/Latino, African-American, and Asian-American students generally report hearing such remarks more often than do white, Native American, and international students.
More information on results by race/ethnicity
Results by Gender
À Men and women have similar perspectives concerning the campus climate. Overall, there are few differences between the genders in their survey responses, with both reporting that they have had quite positive experiences at CU-Boulder and in the community at large. The greatest divergence in their responses pertains to how likely they say they are to challenge derogatory remarks and/or behavior. In all cases, women report that they are more likely than men to challenge such remarks and/or behavior.
Women's and men's ratings of campus climate, both inside and outside of the classroom are generally positive, with higher ratings for in-classroom than outside-classroom climate. Women report more often hearing students make disparaging remarks about others, including women, people with strong religious beliefs, non-English speakers, and gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender persons.
Results by Class Standing
À Undergraduates and graduates have similar climate perspectives. In general, there are not many differences in reports of campus climate between graduate and undergraduate students. Both groups report moderate to high levels of comfort in various social and academic settings. The most noteworthy discrepancy between undergraduates and graduates is in their ratings of how comfortable they would feel in class or interacting with faculty. Graduate students report somewhat greater comfort which could reflect, to some extent, the nature of the relationship between graduate students and faculty, which is often more personalized, with more frequent interactions both in and out of the classroom.
More information on results by gender and class standing
Results for International Students
À International students' experiences are positive, but have declined over time. International students' experiences at the university and within the Boulder community are quite positive. They report high levels of comfort in academic and social settings, and report that they are comfortable interacting with faculty, expressing their views in class, and participating in social activities, both on campus and in the Boulder community. They rarely feel disconnected or left out of campus life. However, over time, international students' ratings of how comfortable they would feel expressing views in class, participating in campus ethnic/cultural activities, living in the residence halls, and challenging derogatory remarks noticeably declined, as did their ratings of how comfortable they would feel hanging out on the Hill.
À Some differences exist among international student subgroups. Among the subgroups of international students, Southeast Asian students (i.e., those from India, Mongolia, Malaysia, Philippines, and Thailand) and European Union students seem to be more positive about the CU-Boulder campus climate, whereas East Asian students (i.e., those from China, Japan, Republic of Korea, and Taiwan) seem to be less positive. East Asian students are somewhat less comfortable in some social settings; in particular, shopping and eating in Boulder, participating in campus social life, and looking for a place to rent in Boulder.
All international student groups say they are quite comfortable being in class and interacting with faculty. Although all subgroups of students report hearing very few disparaging remarks from faculty, East Asian students typically report hearing such remarks more often than do U.S. students and other international students.

Over-Time Comparisons of Prior Climate and Community Surveys
À Fall 2006 marked the second administration of the CU-Boulder campus climate survey. The first was in fall 2001. In 1994 and 1998 a community survey was administered to assess the campus climate. The community survey differs from the climate survey in that it focused primarily on race/ethnicity.
À There are few changes overall in undergraduates' climate ratings over time. Students in all four survey administrations give substantially similar ratings of the campus environment, the extent to which they feel welcome and comfortable, and the situation for themselves and for all students.
À African-American undergraduates' ratings show the greatest change. Though there is little change overall, among all the racial/ethnic groups, African-American undergraduates show the greatest change, in both positive and negative directions. African-American students report feeling more accepted in 2001 and 2006, compared with 1994 and 1998. They also report being more comfortable in 2001 and 2006 being in class and interacting with faculty outside of class. However, African-American students' ratings of "UCB as a place to be" noticeably declined between 2001 and 2006, as did their perceptions of the social climate both inside and outside the classroom. In addition, African-American students were also somewhat more likely to report in 2006 that they felt different and overwhelmed.
À As was the case for undergraduates, graduate students' rating of the campus climate showed little change from 2001 to 2006. In general, students report having had quite positive experiences at UCB and in the community at large.
More information on over-time comparisons
Most Important Group Identity Results
À The climate survey includes the following question:
"Everyone is a member of many groups including but not limited to those based on age, race, gender, sexual orientation, physical abilities, socio-economic status, country of origin, major, job, and religion. However, for most people a few group memberships are usually most important.
We realize that this may be a difficult question, but considering all of your group memberships, pick one that's important to you in how you are treated or interact with others WHEN YOU ARE ON CAMPUS and type it in the box below."
Students were then asked to use the group identity reported to respond to questions assessing:
o Stereotypes encountered based on group identity
o Ratings of UCB as a place to be for you and members of your group
o Overt prejudice/discrimination encountered because of group identity
À Students belong to many groups; which one is considered most important to how they are treated on campus varies considerably beyond such factors as gender and race/ethnicity. For many students, major discipline, class level, athletic or Greek status, age, or religious affiliation are seen as most central to how they are treated on campus. Experiences with stereotyping and ratings of the campus and community climate vary by identity group membership.
À Students for whom racial/ethnic identity is most salient in how they are treated express a less favorable view of the campus climate. In addition, faculty have low performance expectations of these students, according to student reports.
More information on identity group results
Results for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Students
À In order to ensure that a sufficient number of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender (GLBT) students were surveyed, we made a special effort to solicit their participation. At our request, the director of the campus GLBT Resource Center sent an e-mail to students on the Center's mailing list encouraging them to complete the survey. The GLBT students who took part in the Climate Survey were therefore either "GLBT Center students" or were part of the random sample and self-identified as GLBT. Because GLBT students were not part of the sampling design for the survey, it is possible that their responses are not representative of the population of all GLBT students at CU-Boulder.
À GLBT students are not as positive as other students about the campus climate. GLBT students' reports of the CU-Boulder campus climate are not overly negative; nonetheless, in many cases, they are not particularly positive either. For the most part, responses from the GLBT Center students are more negative than responses from the GLBT students in the random sample and from the non-GLBT students. However, in a few areas, both groups of GLBT students look more similar to one another than to the non-GLBT students.
Both GLBT Center students and GLBT students in the random sample rate the campus as somewhat less friendly and welcoming as compared to the non-GLBT students. GLBT students report feeling "different" at a rather high rate; more than a third of the randomly-selected GLBT students and nearly half of the GLBT Center students say they "often" or "very often" feel different. In comparison, just over a quarter of the non-GLBT students report feeling different this frequently.
More information on results for GLBT students
Results for Students with Disabilities
À In order to ensure that we surveyed a sufficient number of students with disabilities to permit separate analyses for them, we made a special effort to recruit students with disabilities. At our request, the director of the campus Disabilities Services office sent an email to students on the Center's mailing list encouraging them to complete the survey. Because students with disabilities were not part of the sampling design for the survey, it is possible that their responses are not representative of the population of all students with disabilities at CU-Boulder.
À Students with disabilities rate the climate somewhat less favorably. Although students both with and without disabilities rate the campus climate favorably overall, responses from students with disabilities are somewhat less positive. Students with disabilities are somewhat less likely to feel that the campus is friendly and welcoming. They also report less comfort in social settings, such as using the recreation center or the UMC, participating in campus social life, shopping or eating in Boulder, and living in the residence halls.
À Classrooms are comfortable and accessible. The great majority of students with disabilities report feeling comfortable in class. More than half report that classrooms are "pretty much" or "very much" accessible to persons with disabilities.
À Reports of disparaging remarks are similar for students both with and without disabilities. Reports of how frequently students with and without disabilities hear other students make disparaging remarks about various groups are generally similar. Some differences are found, however, for how often students with and without disabilities hear other students making disparaging remarks about whites. In this instance, students with disabilities more often report hearing such remarks.
More information on results for students with disabilities
Encouraging Findings
À Many of the findings of the 2006 Climate Surveys suggest that CU-Boulder's climate is positive, favorable, valuing of diversity, and fairly comfortable for all students, irrespective of race/ethnicity and gender.
À Campus diversity efforts over the past few years appear to be making a difference for African-American undergraduate students, who in 2006 reported greater levels of acceptance, comfort in class, and comfort interacting with faculty members outside of class than they did in 2001.
À The faculty received high marks on the extent to which they value diversity. In addition, they are only very seldom heard making disparaging remarks toward members of other groups, according to student reports.
Findings to Be Mindful Of
À Despite the gains made with respect to undergraduate African-Americans' opinions of the campus climate, more work needs to be done to ensure that they are comfortable here, as evidenced by the notable declines over time in their ratings of CU-Boulder as "a place to be" and the fact that their overall ratings of the campus and the Boulder community remain somewhat below those of other undergraduate racial/ethnic groups.
À International students' ratings of how comfortable they would feel expressing views in class, participating in campus ethnic/cultural activities, and living in residence halls have declined notably since 2001. This may be due, in part, to the increased governmental scrutiny these students have been receiving, and suggests that the campus might want to consider finding ways to increase their levels of comfort.

While midweek games in other parts of the country often feature teams better suited for sticky flyers handed out late at night outside bars, midweek games in Southern California are always an opportunity for matchups worthy of being plastered on billboards and marquees.
This week featured three top notch marquee matchups with low-scoring, strong-pitching UCLA and UC Irvine playing, the WCC and Big West favorites facing off when San Diego hosted No. 8 Cal State Fullerton and a pair of upstarts in the two conferences battling each other when Pepperdine travelled up to UC Santa Barbara.
Both of the featured Big West/WCC matchups had a late opportunity for redemption that was cashed in. A roundup of all those games and the rest of the SoCal squads in action with photo galleries from UCLA and Northridge:
San Diego 5, #8 Cal State Fullerton 3 (10 innings)
Troy Conyers is known for his left-handed pitching as San Diego's Saturday starter, but he also has been moonlighting as a first baseman/designated hitter for the Toreros. But he was hitting only .190 entering Tuesday's big midweek matchup with Cal State Fullerton.
Conyers was not in the starting lineup, but after pinch hitter Brandon DeFazio tied the game in the eighth inning with a two-run double off the left-centerfield wall, Rich Hill sent the big-swinging lefty up to try to drive in DeFazio. Cal State Fullerton's fourth reliever of the inning, J.D. Davis, struck him out and the game remained tied for the next two frames.
With two outs in the 10th inning, Josh Goossen-Brown singled through the left side, bringing up Conyers for the second time. This time Conyers got retribution facing Davis, cranking his first career home run for the game winner.
San Diego's bullpen allowed only three hits and did not allow an earned run in six innings, but most of the pitching focus was on Fullerton's freshman top prospect Phil Bickford, who allowed three hits and one run during four innings in his first collegiate start.
Tanner Pinkston finished 3-for-5 and Davis reached base three times for the Titans, who have lost three in a row for the first time under Rick Vanderhook. Louie Lechich, Austin Bailey and Goossen-Brown each had a pair of hits for San Diego.
San Diego State 8, Cal State Northridge 0
Check out a recap of San Diego State's beatdown along with CBD photographer David Cohen's gallery and a video interview with Ty France.
#15 UCLA 5, UC Irvine 0
Freshman Grant Dyer put together his first true gem for UCLA (9-7). The right-hander allowed three hits and two walk in seven innings before turning the ball over to Jake Ehret and David Berg to finish off the four-hit shutout that snapped UC Irvine's 10-game winning streak.
The Bruins put a pair of runs on the board in the first inning on a Luke Persico double, added another the next inning on a sac fly and finished off the scoring in the seventh inning with a pair of runs on a Brian Carroll RBI single and Christoph Bono's second sacrifice flies.
"It's 5-0. It felt like 55-0," Irvine head coach Mike Gillespie said after the game. Hear him talk about the 'Eaters 5-0 loss and tipping the cap to Dyer:
Bono and Persico each had two runs batted in while Caroll and Trent Chatterton had two hits apiece for UCLA.
Kyle Davis pitched 3.2 hitless innings of relief for UC Irvine (12-4). Matt Fielding and Michael Miller also had clean innings out of the Anteater bullpen.
Here's the top photos from CBD photographer Shotgun Spratling:
[scrollGallery id=226]
UC Riverside 9, Gonzaga 6
UC Riverside (9-8) moved back above .500 on the year with a 9-6 win over Gonzaga (3-12). The Highlanders took advantage of 12 free passes (10 BB & 2 HBP) issued by Gonzaga's pitching. David Andriese knocked his first homer of the year.
Francisco Tellez and Joe Chavez both drove in three runs each for Riverside. Tellez knocked four hits while Chavez reached five times. Austin Roberts also had three hits and scored three runs for the Highlanders.
Mitchell Gunsolus reached four times and Tyler Jones scored three times for the Bulldogs.
USC 6, Loyola Marymount 1
Dante Flores knocked a bases-clearing double in the seventh inning to bust open a 2-1 game and push USC (9-6) to a 6-1 win, snapping a four-game losing streak and ending LMU's seven-game win streak. Vahn Bozoian followed Flores with an RBI double for good measure.
Jimmy Jack had two hits and drove in LMU's only run. Tommy Cheek also had two hits for the LIons (9-8). USC catcher Garrett Stubbs had three hits and two RBI while Jeremy Martinez and Kevin Swick both reached three times.
Brent Wheatley (5 IP, 6 H, UER, BB, 3 K) picked up the win while the Trojan bullpen allowed only two hits in four innings of work after a shaky weekend.
UC Santa Barbara 2, Pepperdine 1
In another SoCal marquee midweek, a pair of hot teams battled to the end. Joey Epperson continued his hot hitting, reaching four times (2-3, 2 BB) and driving in the game's first run when he pulled the trigger on a 3-0 pitch in the fourth inning, singling home Dempsey Grover.
But Pepperdine (12-4) tied it up in the sixth inning on an RBI groundout by Brad Anderson when Epperson grabbed a ball down the line and double-clutched contemplating a throw home before thinking better of it and firing to first for the out.
The Gauchos (11-2) loaded the bases in the seventh inning, but Ivan Dilda came on and got Andrew Calica to pop up to escape the jam.
UCSB threatened again in the ninth inning with the help of a bad hop on a grounder to shortstop that hit the infield lip and shot over Manny Jefferson's head for a single that put the winning run on third base.
Grover struck out and Epperson was intentionally walked to load the bases for Calica, who got retribution with a walk-off single through the left side to give the Gauchos the 2-1 victory.

Stronghold Kingdoms
I picked up this game sometime last week while a bit bored and in the mood for an RTS. Stronghold Kingdoms is a "Free2Play MMORTS", and having played other games that claim that genre before (see: SAGA), I was a bit dubious as to whether it would be worth playing. I am happy to say however that I have been having fun with this game, and am still playing it each day a week later. Although this game still totes a beta tag in it's name, it has been out and playable for a while now, having largely flown under the radar that I am aware of. In the past month however, it was put up on Steam under the new F2P tag, so there has been a decent influx of players to the game, and the game website states that there is over 500,000 players now, so there must … Continue reading

For the business and trade press
Tillsonburg ON, December 2, 2010
Siemens announced today that it has selected Tillsonburg, Ontario, for its Canadian wind turbine blade manufacturing site. The blade factory will be established in an existing 253,000-square-foot facility, located on 40 acres, that was originally opened in 1975. It's the company's first manufacturing plant for wind turbine components in Canada and represents an investment in excess of $20 million CAD. The manufacturing, service operations and associated back-office activities are expected to create up to 300 jobs. An additional 600 related jobs for the construction and commissioning is expected to be created during the build-out of the wind farms under agreement with Samsung and Pattern.
This new manufacturing facility in Tillsonburg is intended to allow Siemens to help Samsung and Pattern Energy meet their contractual requirements to supply 600 MW of renewable energy to the province of Ontario. The factory is expected to produce all of the wind turbine blades for Siemens projects in the province.
"By investing in a new blade production facility in Canada, Siemens is pushing further ahead with the regionalization of its wind manufacturing network in important markets," said René Umlauft, CEO of the Siemens Renewable Energy Division. "Just this week we inaugurated our first manufacturing plant for wind turbine components in China, and Canada is a quite promising growth market as well. In 2009, Canada entered the 'Top 10 wind power markets in the world' by installed capacity," Umlauft added. Siemens currently has eight projects with a capacity of approx. 950 MW commissioned or underway in Ontario and Manitoba. Canada's current installed capacity climbed by 40 per cent to 3,549 MW in 2009 (enough electricity provided to power more than one million homes). Wind power capacity in Canada is expected to increase to more than 15,000 MW in 2020 and thus is projected to provide approximately 11 per cent of the country's total power generation.
Renovations to the Tillsonburg facility will begin later this month with the facility expected to be production ready in October 2011. The blades manufactured at the new facility will be for Siemens' 2.3-MW wind turbines.
The site was selected for a number of reasons, such as excellent access to major highways and wide roads to transport the blades – which are up to 52 metres (170 feet) long. In addition to close proximity to the market, Tillsonburg was the best selection from among a number of sites Siemens considered since first making the announcement to open a Canadian operation in August 2010.
"By opening a new factory in Canada, we will be able to increase our ability to competitively serve the important North American market," according to Bill Smith, senior vice president, of the Energy Sector. "We are extremely pleased that we are opening our first Canadian facility in Ontario." Through its Green Energy Act and the associated Feed-in Tariff (FIT) program, Ontario has become one of the most supportive provinces of wind and other renewable forms of energy, such as solar. "Siemens is bullish on prospects for Canada, and as a result will continue to work with other developers on future projects and may expand the facility to serve these interests."

Alvin could become a hurricane in several days.
MIAMI - Forecasters say the first tropical storm of the eastern Pacific hurricane season has formed off the coast of Mexico.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami says Tropical Storm Alvin formed Wednesday. It had maximum sustained winds of about 40 mph and was moving west at 13 mph. It was centered about 665 miles southwest of Acapulco, Mexico.
Alvin could become a hurricane in several days. It isn't currently a threat to land.
The eastern and north Pacific season began Wednesday and runs through Nov. 30.
The National Hurricane Center says there is typically an average of 15 named storms each season, with four of those considered major hurricanes reaching at least Category 3 strength, with top sustained winds of 111 mph.

Adjust the seat guide on the setting that best matches your height.
Once the correct setting is chosen position yourself on the seat guide and place fronts of feet on the foot ramps so the bodyweight is on the heels.
With arms extended, gently grip the handrails, engage your core, and arch the shoulder blades back as you sit back as if you're in a chair.
With engaged core, shoulders back and back slightly arched, squeeze the glutes and lower the body by pushing the butt down on the seat guide and pushing through the heels, keeping your attention focused on the butt. Squeeze the glutes at all times.
With control, slowly bring the body back up by focusing on the butt muscles, squeezing the glutes and pushing through the heels.
Focus on getting the correct form and then alternate ranges of motion —finding your burn zone.

Does anyone know if it is possible to create either a user iniated or a scheduled worflow to change a client status.
We have a field where we select if a client is an active client or a prospect client. We are using the field "currentstatus" for that.
I wish to create a workflow that would change the client from prospect to existing once the first proejct is created for a client.
I'm not very familiar with workflow yet but i was thinking a scheduled worflow would look at all the prospect clients and if there is at least one project in the client's project grid then the client type should be changed from prospect to existing.
I don't know how to setup the workflow and if it is even possible to reference a grid in a workflow.
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Client Status Workflow
This would require a stored procedure as you are looking at grid information - run a nightly stored procedure to check the number of records for a client in the grid, if over 1 then set to active. I would also use this stored procedure to check the last date a project was added and perhaps if this date is more than a year ago we could utilise to remind the marketing team to contact the client for additional work?

SCOTTISH Courts are to adopt ground-breaking proposals to tackle sectarian internet trolls.
The Crown Office yesterday backed campaigners who called for a crackdown on the bigots.
And they agreed that forcing the trolls to meet their victims may help curb the net hate "epidemic".
A Crown Office spokesman said: "When there is evidence of hate crimes committed on social media, we
prosecute them robustly."
On Tuesday, the Daily Record told how anti-sectarian group Nil By Mouth warned more had to be done to deter internet trolls.
The campaigners called for restorative justice – when the trolls meet their victims so they might realise how devastating their comments can be.
The Crown Office are looking at new ways to apply anti-sectarian legislation which came into force in March 2012. There have been 148 convictions under the act so far.
Prosecutors are drafting clearer guidelines on offensive comments on social media.
The Crown Office spokesman added: "We are working on plans to publish further prosecution guidance relating to offensive comments made on social media and we are in the process of consulting with stakeholders.
"The idea from the Nil By Mouth organisation of using restorative justice is worthy of consideration in some cases.
"The more options available to the courts to help deal with sectarian abuse, the better."
Dave Scott, of Nil By Mouth, said: "I'm pleased the Crown Office are seriously considering our proposals and we are grateful to the Record for its support for this campaign. We need a programme which forces offenders to explain themselves to victims and wider society.
"There can be no hiding place for bigotry."
Four trolling cases came before courts last week.
David Limond, brother of TV comic Brian Limond, was jailed for a podcast vendetta against writer Angela Haggerty.
Michael Convery, 43, of Glasgow, got six months for a Twitter campaign against then Rangers players Maurice Edu and Kyle Bartley.
Cameron Paterson, 17, of Clydebank, was fined £360 for sharing a tweet stating he hoped ex-Celt Stiliyan Petrov died.
Christopher Hay, 22, of Kirkintilloch, was cleared of breaking the law, despite sending a vile tweet about Celtic boss Neil Lennon.

Our opinion: Mayor Jennings wants to make code enforcement the work of a separate city agency. The time has come, with more than 800 abandoned buildings in Albany.
Here comes one more overdue sign that Albany Mayor Jerry Jennings is becoming more serious about confronting the long-festering problem of dilapidated and abandoned buildings in his city.
He wants to make the battle for more vigorous code enforcement the work of a single city agency. The Common Council should embrace this departure from the years of tolerating such assaults on the quality of life in Albany.
Finally, there's a city department whose sole job is to fight urban blight, now called the Division of Buildings and Regulatory Compliance. A separate agency is an overdue reversal of making code enforcement the Fire Department's responsibility. That concept, pushed by Mr. Jennings in 1994, made sense on paper, but in reality, it turned out to be unwieldy, at best.
Overtime has soared for firefighters, who at salaries of upwards of $70,000 make more than double the $33,000 that the city's eight new non-unionized code inspectors earn. Sending firefighters out on code inspection calls adds wear and tear to their expensive trucks and other apparatus. It diverts them from their primary mission of fighting fires and doing emergency medical service. And many were uncomfortable appearing in court, where some of the most crucial code inspection work must be done.
Albany still has more than 800 abandoned buildings, according to the city's latest count. That's down from 1,750, when the appalling condition of the city's housing stock reached an epidemic level in 2006. But despite the progress, the need to either fix up or tear down these buildings is still a vital task, almost as important as improving the city's schools or fighting crime.
And no one ever has suggested that firefighters moonlight as teachers or school administrators, or do the work of the police.
So here's the irony. Before the city can make code enforcement its own agency, Jennings must win over a firefighters' union that isn't keen on giving up the $1,400 annual stipend each union member gets for doing building inspections. But the mayor must remain firm in negotiations. Too much is at stake for him to relent and allow the front-line work in what should be an all-out war on blight to remain in the wrong hands.
Mr. Jennings has some new allies here, too. Some preservationists who have been on the other side of an unconstructive skirmish over how best to save these abandoned buildings are quite receptive to his proposal.
Code enforcement needs to be as visible, as central and as professional a mission of city government as possible. This should give the city the structure to enable it to move smartly into the future while saving what's so appealing about its past.

This section includes information about upgrading Monitoring Console from Java ES 5 to Java ES 5 Update 1 . The section covers the following topics:
When upgrading Release 5 Monitoring Console to Release 5U1, consider the following aspects of the upgrade process:
General Upgrade Approach. The upgrade is achieved by patching Release 5 Monitoring Console.
Upgrade Dependencies. Monitoring Console has dependencies on a number of Java ES shared components (see Table 1–8), two of are hard upgrade dependencies and need to be upgraded when you perform a maintenance upgrade of Monitoring Console: MFWK and SJWC.
Backward Compatibility. Release 5UI Monitoring Console is backwardly compatible with the Release 5 version.
This section describes how to perform an upgrade of Monitoring Console from Java ES 5 to Java ES 5 Update 1. This section covers the following topics:
Before you upgrade Monitoring Console, perform the tasks described below.
Verify the current version of Monitoring Console before you upgrade.
Open the Monitoring Console URL in a web browser:
Log in as the Administrator.
Click the Sun Java System Monitoring Console link.
Click the Version button.
The Monitoring Console version information is displayed.
Monitoring Console 1.0 u1
Monitoring Console 1.0
It is generally recommended that all Java ES components on a computer system (and in a computing environment) be upgraded to Release 5U1. Release 5U1 Monitoring Console has hard upgrade dependencies on MFWK and SJWC shared components, which therefore need to be upgraded before upgrading Monitoring Console. Monitoring Console also requires that Windows Installer patch (126910–02) is already applied.
Upgrade of Monitoring Console to Release 5U1 does not require the reconfiguration of Monitoring Console software. Therefore backup of Monitoring Console data is optional.
This section discusses considerations that impact the upgrade procedure for Monitoring Console, followed by a description of the procedure itself.
The upgrade of Monitoring Console software to Java ES 5 Update 1 takes into account the following considerations:
In a maintenance upgrade, you do not have to migrate schema, configuration, security or user data.
The Release 5U1 Monitoring Console upgrade patches for Windows are shown in the following table:
Patch ID [Patch revision numbers are the minimum required for upgrade to Release 5U1. If newer revisions become available, use the newer ones instead of those shown in the table.]
Monitoring Console core
Monitoring Console localization
The localized patch files are delivered within the core patch.
The procedure documented below applies to Monitoring Console instances residing locally on the computer where the upgrade is taking place.
Log in as Administrator.
Shut down the Release 5 Monitoring Console instances by stopping SJWC.
You can stop Monitoring Console by stopping SJWC.
For example, you can stop the default SJWC instance from the command line.
C:\Program Files\Sun\JavaES5\share\webconsole\bin\smcwebserver.bat stop
Make sure you have upgraded any Java ES components upon which Monitoring Console has hard upgrade dependencies (see Upgrade Monitoring Console Dependencies.
Obtain the required Monitoring Console Release 5U1 upgrade patches, based on Table 13–3.
To obtain the patch, see Accessing Java ES Patches. Patches can be downloaded to \workingDirectory.
Install the patch.
Installation is generally performed by running patch-id.exe, however, be sure to consult the README.patch-id file in the patch directory for installation instructions.
If you are prompted to restart the system, select No. Wait till the patch installation process is completed and then restart and re-login as the same user to complete the patch installation.
Verify the patch log file.
The log file is found at: %TEMP%\SUNJAVAES_<patch-id>.log
Verify the patch installation with the utility ListJavaESPatches.exe.
Run ListJavaESPatches.exe and check that the output includes the patch id of the patch that you have installed in Step 5. For more information, see Identifying Installed Java ES Patches.
Start SJWC.
For example, start the default SJWC instance.
C:\Program Files\Sun\JavaES\share\webconsole\bin\smcwebserver.bat start
Undeploy the Release 5 Monitoring Console web application.
C:\Program Files\Sun\JavaES5\share\webconsole\bin\wcadmin.bat undeploy -a jesmc/ -x \jesmc
Deploy the Release 5U1 Monitoring Console web application.
C:\Program Files\Sun\JavaES5\share\webconsole\bin\wcadmin.bat deploy -a jesmc/ -x \jesmc MonitoringConsole-base
Load the Release 5U1 Monitoring Console by restarting SJWC.
C:\Program Files\Sun\JavaES5\share\webconsole\bin\smcwebserver.bat restart
Open the Monitoring Console URL in a web browser:
Log in as the Administrator.
Click the Sun Java System Monitoring Console link.
Click the Version button.
Monitoring Console 1.0u1 indicates that the upgrade to Release 5 is successful.
No post-upgrade tasks are required when upgrading Release 5 Monitoring Console to Release 5U1.
This section describes the Release 5U1 upgrade rollback procedure for Monitoring Console.
Log in as Administrator.
Stop the Monitoring Console.
Double-click uniinstall_patch-id.bat to uninstall the patch.
Undeploy the Release 5U1 Monitoring Console web application.
C:\Program Files\Sun\JavaES5\share\webconsole\bin\wcadmin undeploy -a jesmc -x \jesmc
Deploy the Release 5 Monitoring Console web application.
C:\Program Files\Sun\JavaES5\share\webconsole\bin\wcadmin deploy -a jesmc -x \jesmc MonitoringConsole-base
Restart Release 5 Monitoring Console.
C:\Program Files\Sun\JavaES5\share\webconsole\bin\smcwebserver restart

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Published 8:00 pm, Sunday, September 30, 2007
Many women choose not to have a breast exam, mammogram and pap smear because of limited financial resources. This issue leads to a late cancer diagnosis after symptoms develop and the cancer has become invasive and significantly less curable.
Since 1991 over 280,531 Michigan women over age 40 have received services through the Breast and Cervical Cancer Control Program (BCCCP). This is a federal and state government funded program. It provides free screening for women age 40 through 64 on an annual basis in an effort to find breast and cervical cancers at an early stage when it is most curable. Early detection has led to 97 percent survival rates.
Income guidelines are very generous. For example, a woman who is a one-person household may have an annual income of $25,525. If she is a woman who is part of a four person household, her annual income may be $51,625. The guidelines go as high as $86,425 for a family of eight and add $8,700 for any additional family members beyond eight.
The Huron County Health Department is the lead agency for clinics in Bad Axe, Bay City, Brown City, Caro, Cass City, Deckerville, Kingston, Marysville, Mayville, Saginaw and Sandusky. There is no residency requirement. If you or someone you care about is 40 or older, make a phone call today that could save a life. The number is (989) 269-9721 ext. 165 or toll free (877) 269-0822.
