How to Contribute
We want to make contributing to this project as easy and transparent as possible. Read on to learn more about our development process and how to propose bug fixes and improvements.
Code of Conduct
Facebook has adopted a Code of Conduct that we expect project participants to adhere to. Please read the full text so that you can understand what actions will and will not be tolerated.
Our Development Process
Most changes from engineers at Facebook will sync to GitHub through a bridge with Facebook's internal source control. Changes from the community are handled through GitHub pull requests. Once a change made on GitHub is approved, it will first be imported into Facebook's internal source control. The change will eventually sync back to GitHub as a single commit once it has passed Facebook's internal tests.
Branch Organization
We will do our best to keep the
master branch in good shape, with tests passing at all times. Sometimes, commits from Facebook engineers may land on
master, temporarily breaking tests. While we have a comprehensive suite of tests that every diff must go through before it syncs out to GitHub, there are still some differences in development environments that prevent us from catching every one of these failures. We will do our best to resolve these quickly.
Each React Native version is built from a release branch named after the version (e.g.
0.NN-stable). Each release branch is cut from the
master branch and subjected to a 30 day soak period, during which contributors will closely monitor for any regressions. You can opt into these release candidates by installing
react-native@next from npm. The release will eventually be promoted to stable, and published to npm as
To see what changes are coming and provide better feedback to React Native contributors, use the latest release candidate whenever possible. By the time a release candidate is released, the changes it contains will have been shipped in production Facebook apps for over two weeks.
Where to Find Known Issues
We are using GitHub Issues for our public bugs.
Reporting a New Issue
The best way to get your bug fixed is to provide a reduced test case. You can use a tool such as Snack to provide a minimal example.
Security Bugs
Facebook has a bounty program for the safe disclosure of security bugs. In those cases, please go through the process outlined on that page and do not file a public issue.
How to Get in Touch
We have a discussion forum for React and React Native: discuss.reactjs.org
There is also an active community of users on the Discord chat platform in case you need help with React or React Native.
Request for Comments (RFC)
Many changes, including bug fixes and documentation improvements can be implemented and reviewed via the normal GitHub pull request workflow.
Some changes though are "substantial", and we ask that these be put through a bit of a design process and produce a consensus among the React Native core team.
The "RFC" (request for comments) process is intended to provide a consistent and controlled path for new features to be proposed and championed to then enter the project.
It is inspired by the React RFCs repository, but today we don't expect for every substantial change to go through this process; however, we hope that this brings more awareness to the community.
You can contribute by visiting the discussions and proposals repository.

While playing polo on the fields of Southern California in the late 1930s, Mel Shaw met Walt Disney and was soon playing on his team, the Donald Ducks, that took on the president of Mexico's personal team in 1938 — and won.
"He called me a wild Indian because I was stealing the ball from him all the time," Shaw later said of that first meeting.
But as Shaw told the story, one day Disney handed him a stack of papers and said: "You like to draw animals — read this and see what you can do."
PHOTOS: Notable deaths of 2012
It was the script for "Bambi," and the beginning of Shaw's long affiliation with Disney as a visual development and design artist. He help set the style for that 1942 animated classic and many others from the studio, including what became "Fantasia" (1940), "The Fox and the Hound" (1982) and his final Disney project, 1994's "The Lion King."
Shaw, 97, died of congestive heart failure Nov. 22 at Woodland Care Center in Reseda, said his son, Rick.
"Mel was on a short list of vanguard artists who would jump into a new film when it was still a blank piece of paper and with his stunning work he'd show us all the visual possibilities," Don Hahn, a producer who worked with Shaw on "Beauty and the Beast" and "The Lion King," said in a statement.
Outside of the studio, Shaw was perhaps best known for drawing the title sequence of the 1977 movie "The Rescuers." The animated prologue shows a character placing a plea for help in a bottle and tossing it into the high seas.
"You see these very beautiful pastel drawings, and all of them are Mel's," said Charles Solomon, an animation critic and historian. "The producer and director of the film looked at his preliminary drawings and said, 'That's it, we don't need anything else.'"
The artist was involved with practically every sequence of "Bambi," he said in "Walt's People, Vol. 12," a newly published collection of interviews with artists who worked with Disney.
The intensity of color in "Bambi" reflected the dramatic action, a feat Shaw said he helped bring about through a color chart he made with pastels that "talked about the sequences and how colors would change ... to fit the mood," he said in the book.
During World War II, Shaw left Disney to serve in the Army Signal Corps as a combat photographer in Southeast Asia. He also worked on a documentary on the Burma campaign.
Back home, he opened a design business with Bob Allen, a former MGM Studios animator. Through Allen-Shaw Productions, Shaw illustrated the first "Bambi" children's book for Disney, designed children's toys and conceived pieces for Metlox, the noted Manhattan Beach pottery manufacturer.
The partners received almost no attention for their late 1940s redesign of Howdy Doody, the marionette on the popular 1950s NBC show of the same name.
The original Howdy Doody resembled "Pinocchio with fuzzy hair," Shaw said in "Walt's People." They reconceptualized him as a "hayseed," he later said. Allen came up with the freckled face, Shaw made the model for the head and they had a "little cowboy costume" created.
But when the new Howdy Doody was revealed, the partners were never given credit for the design, Shaw said in the book, so they patented it in 1950.
His second tenure at Disney began in 1974, when he was brought in to mentor younger animators as the older generation retired. According to the studio, Shaw went on to influence the look and story of many "modern day Disney favorites."
He was born Melvin Schwartzman on Dec. 19, 1914, in Brooklyn, N.Y., the second of four brothers of an attorney and his wife, an opera singer.
As a 12-year-old, he won a top prize in a national Procter & Gamble soap-carving contest and sculpted throughout his career.
In the late 1920s, he moved with his family to Los Angeles, where he attended the Otis Art Institute as a teenager.
At 14, he ran away to Utah to become a cowboy. Four months later, he was back in Los Angeles lying about his age to get a job at Pacific Title and Art Studio, where he created title cards at the end of the silent-film era.
Two Disney animators — Hugh Harman and Rudy Ising — hired him to join their studio to conceive and animate stories in the early 1930s. While there, he helped Orson Welles storyboard a version of "The Little Prince" that was never produced.
By 1937, Shaw was working for Disney and playing polo for the Donald Ducks, who traveled to Mexico in his Dodge station wagon to face an elite team. Rainy weather and Mexico's decision to put in its second string helped them win, Rick Shaw said.
Mel Shaw's first wife, Louise, died in 1984. He is survived by their two children, Rick Shaw and Melissa Couch-Deranleau; three stepchildren, Ken Lounsbery, John Lounsbery and Andrea Gessel-Severe; 14 grandchildren; and a brother, Bob Shaw.
His second wife, Florence Lounsbery, was the widow of John Lounsbery, one of the pioneering Disney animators known as the Nine Old Men. With Florence, Shaw lived for nearly 20 years in a home she designed in Acampo, Calif., near Stockton. After she died in 2004, he moved to Woodland Hills to live with his son.
His second marriage took place on Thanksgiving Day 1985. He died on the holiday 27 years later.

Tiki Legends
Every good story has its legendary heroes. In the case of Tiki Culture these legends are Don the Beachcomber and Trader Vic. Their stories are similar in many ways and although they were competitors for many years it was always a pleasant rivalry.
Ernest Raymond Beaumont Gantt better known as Donn Beach AKA Don the Beachcomber started his cocktail career as a bootlegger during Prohibition. Shortly after he moved to Hollywood and opened his first bar "Don's Beachcomber". A mere three years later in 1937 he opened the bar and restaurant for which he would become famous "Don the Beachcomber". Following that he was called to service during World War II to create cocktails for military officers across the globe. This was likely what spurred the Tiki craze that followed the war. Donn went on to open a number of "Don the Beachcomber" restaurants including the one in the International Market in Honolulu, HI.
Starting at the same time in Oakland, CA Victor Jules Bergeron Jr, better known as Trader Vic, started his tiki career with a small bar and restaurant called "Hinky Dinks" which was located in his parent's grocery store. Popularity quickly grew and the restaurant moved more and more to a Polynesian theme. With this move came a name change to "Trader Vics". Vic also experienced an explosion of popularity following World War II and his restaurants quickly spread around the world.
Both of these legends of Tiki have since passed away, but their story will not be forgotten. Their legend lives on in the cocktails they left behind. Both men are credited with the creation of the Mai Tai which Aaron briefly discussed in his earlier post. Interestingly though, you'll see recipes for the Mai Tai which in no way resemble this original recipe (as per Trader Vic's). Robert Hess gives a good history of why that is the case in his Cocktail Spirit video about the Mai Tai. The same holds true for a number of classic Tiki cocktails. One recipe is the original, other bartenders try to match the flavor, get relatively close and poof, new recipe for the same drink.

Highsmith on Kruse, 'White Flight: Atlanta and the Making of Modern Conservatism'
Kevin M. Kruse. White Flight: Atlanta and the Making of Modern Conservatism. Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2005. 352 pp. $35.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-691-09260-7.

Atlanta: The City Too Busy Moving to Hate
In 1955, the tumultuous year between the U.S. Supreme Court's first Brown v. Board of Education decision and the release of the Southern Manifesto, Mayor William Hartsfield of Atlanta sought to distinguish his city from the recalcitrant Deep South by highlighting its reputation for civic order, economic growth, and racial moderation. Atlanta, Hartsfield bragged, was the "city too busy to hate." As the key figure in a powerful postwar coalition of local business progressives, moderate politicians, and African-American leaders, Hartsfield confidently defended Atlanta's progressive mystique--both in 1955 and throughout the period of massive resistance--by pointing to the carefully orchestrated desegregation of its schools, parks, and other public facilities.[1] For Hartsfield and Atlanta's governing bloc of racial moderates, civic order in Atlanta signaled the failures of massive resistance in the newest New South. As Kevin Kruse demonstrates in White Flight, however, segregationist politics in Atlanta and other American cities, north and south, were more adaptive, widespread, and persistent than the city's boosters ever imagined. Indeed, in this impressive reappraisal of twentieth-century racial politics, Kruse recasts Atlanta, quite literally, as "a city too busy moving to hate."
An adaptation of Kruse's doctoral dissertation, White Flight presents, at long last, the first full-length scholarly monograph on one of the most significant spatial migrations in American history. Through an exploration of the causes, processes, and implications of white flight, Kruse finds that whites in Atlanta responded to even limited forms of racial integration by first fighting and then fleeing desegregated spaces. But white flight, in Kruse's account, was much more than a spatial movement from cities to suburbs. It was, in fact, a "political revolution" that brought refashioned forms of segregationist ideology into the mainstream of an ascendant conservative political discourse. In the end, according to Kruse's revisionist case study, grassroots segregationists, safely ensconced in racially homogenous, privatized suburbs, actually triumphed in their quest for racial exclusivity.
White Flight begins with an exploration of Atlanta's black and white power structures that together brokered the postwar pace of racial progress in the city. Because Black Atlanta represented a large and growing portion of the city's electorate, African Americans exercised a surprising degree of political power at mid-century, forcing Hartsfield and other white officials to hire additional black police officers, allocate more park space for black citizens, and improve the city's services in African-American neighborhoods. Under the auspices of the Atlanta Negro Voters League, formed in 1949 with the backing of powerful black financial interests, black leaders such as John Wesley Dobbs and Austin Walden gained a level of political power that would have been unthinkable in more rural sections of the Deep South. Recognizing the economic benefits of racial harmony, the challenges of the growing student movement, and the power of the burgeoning black electorate, Hartsfield, Coca-Cola executive Robert Woodruff, and other prominent white businessmen from the Chamber of Commerce accepted limited, carefully circumscribed civil rights reforms in exchange for black votes, economic growth, and civic harmony. As Kruse writes of Atlanta's white power structure, "Forced to choose between the social customs of segregation and the economic creed of progress, they readily chose the latter" (p. 37). By negotiating with black leaders over the relaxation of racial segregation, however, the moderate coalition helped to spawn grassroots rebellions within Atlanta's white working-class neighborhoods and other spaces on the margins of Atlanta's expanding black community.
In chapters 2 and 3, Kruse documents the battles over race and residence, particularly on the city's West Side, which sparked a segregationist revolt in defense of residential Jim Crow. Following in the traditions of historians Thomas Sugrue and Arnold Hirsch, Kruse focuses on the battles that erupted in transitional neighborhoods.[2] With a remarkable level of detail and precision, Kruse pinpoints the exact locations and moments at which whites fought to "defend" their neighborhoods, arguing that the battles over residential desegregation stood at the forefront of the city's political culture. In the late 1940s and early 1950s, Ashby Street emerged as a citywide flashpoint, one of the first in a series of rapidly shifting racial frontier zones that moved as the African-American community grew and shifted westward. Exploiting the animosity of white residents, small cells of extremist groups, such as the Columbians (a neo-Nazi gang) and the Ku Klux Klan, terrorized prospective black buyers through threats, intimidation, and open violence. But Atlanta's moderate establishment loathed and ultimately repressed the white supremacist groups through a series of judicial and legislative proscriptions.
For opponents of neighborhood integration, the demise of the Klan and the Columbians proved that extremism and violence were less successful than neighborhood defense strategies that emphasized property rights and whites' rights to "freedom of association." For Kruse, the rhetorical and ideological transformations of segregationist politics represented a clear nexus between the fall of the Old South and the ascendance of the New Right. As the battle over neighborhood space raged on Atlanta's West Side, groups such as the Southwest Citizens Organization (SCO) emerged to defend segregated white neighborhoods. Although some homeowner's organizations had obvious ties to the Klan and racial extremism, homeowner segregationists eventually learned to tone down their rhetoric and violence, choosing instead more subtle, rights-based neighborhood defense strategies. One of the most common responses to residential integration, as Kruse demonstrates, entailed white fundraising schemes for the collective purchase of black-owned properties. Such strategies ultimately failed to halt black home buyers from crossing the color line, however.
As greater numbers of African Americans moved into previously all-white blocks, white solidarity quickly eroded as homeowners rushed to place their homes for sale on the black real estate market. In order to prevent massive panic selling and racial violence on Atlanta's West Side, Hartsfield formed the West Side Mutual Development Committee (WSMDC). Composed of three whites from the SCO and three prominent African Americans, the WSMDC either blocked or managed racial transitions in Atlanta neighborhoods depending upon the community's "integrity." When white neighborhoods could demonstrate the community ties that bound residents together, the WSMDC brokered gentlemen's agreements or proposed zoning changes, physical barriers, and other planning measures to preserve the homogeneity of white neighborhoods. But, in neighborhoods across the city threatened with racial transitions, the WSMDC found few white communities that exhibited cohesiveness in the face of desegregation. Unveiling the familiar patterns that emerged in Adair Park, Kirkwood, and other areas, Kruse demonstrates how whites nearest to black neighbors tended to favor flight, while those farthest from transition zones chose to fight, at least until their blocks became integrated. In reference to the failures of the WSMDC and other top-down initiatives to manage neighborhood boundaries, Kruse writes, "city planners sought to impose the boundaries of a community from above, when in reality a community could only be created in the minds of local residents" (p. 104).
In 1961, following the token desegregation of Atlanta's public schools, civil rights forces moved against the privatized forms of segregation that sheltered Atlanta's moderate elites. Though they had been protected by the spatial buffers of class from the desegregation of public facilities, elite whites ultimately joined the backlash against desegregation when African Americans sought to integrate private facilities such as country clubs, restaurants, hotels, and private schools. With the support of the Civil Rights Act, the black protest movement successfully desegregated a number of privately owned establishments within the city, "even breaking down the color line at Lester Maddox's Pickrick Restaurant," but white flight to Atlanta's suburbs proved to be a successful means of resisting the moral and political demands of the civil rights movement. Politically, the sit-in demonstrations and boycott actions of the 1960s tore apart the moderate interracial coalition that had governed postwar Atlanta, in the process creating space for the political ascendance of extremists such as Maddox, who won the governorship in 1966. Over time, resistance to the desegregation of private facilities and to the mandates of the 1964 Civil Rights Act fueled the growth of a new breed of conservative Republicans in the Atlanta metropolitan region. Though white flight to the suburbs may have marked the last gasp of massive resistance, it proved to be a successful strategy for maintaining racial separation and, moreover, an ideological bridge between the segregationists of old and the Sunbelt conservatives of the future.
Moving from the city to the suburbs was a transformative experience for the whites who fled Atlanta. For leaving the city, as Kruse suggests, was in the end a secessionist strategy that anticipated the suburban hostility to annexation, metropolitan mass transit, fair share housing, and other prospective relations with the city of Atlanta and its black majority. In contrast to Lisa McGirr and other scholars of the postwar political culture of suburbia, Kruse argues that the racial politics of the New Right emerged within a specifically urban context: "The decision to leave the city had changed their outlook, and their arrival in the suburbs did nothing to change it back" (p. 234).[3] Kruse is also careful to remind readers that there was nothing peculiarly southern about the white response to desegregation in Atlanta. The rise of the New Right in Sunbelt cities such as Atlanta mirrored spatial and political transformations that reshaped metropolitan landscapes across the country. Indeed, White Flight severely undermines the notion that the South's postwar race relations were exceptional vis-a-vis the North and the nation. Though this book is likely to be misread by some as a confirmation of the top-down Southern Strategy thesis that credits George Wallace, the political maestro, and working-class white supporters with generating the backlash that created the New Right, Kruse's version of white flight signaled a national spatial and ideological movement to the suburbs that rippled upward from grassroots protests among white Atlantans of all class backgrounds.[4]
In comparing this account to other "rise of the right" narratives, readers will surely note that Kruse's spatial orientation plays a decisive role in the story that unfolds. By choosing to highlight the conflicts and politics that sprung from Atlanta's central city racial frontiers, and by looking specifically at working- and middle-class segregationists, who always experienced desegregation first (though, in truth, the author does critique Atlanta's Northside elites as well), Kruse tends to reduce suburban politics and the rise of the right to a single causal narrative: white secession from the central city. Since the majority of Atlanta's suburbanites never even lived in the city of Atlanta (arriving from cities and suburbs across the country and, indeed, the world), it seems less obvious, without more analysis of Atlanta's diverse suburbs, that white flight alone can explain the economic, demographic, spatial, and political transformations that birthed the New Right. Federal housing and transportation subsidies, and Cold War defense policies that allowed Sunbelt suburbs to boom surely played significant roles. And, to be sure, the white flight model simply cannot adequately explain African-American suburbanization, particularly the post-1960s growth of black suburbanization in Clayton, Fulton, and DeKalb Counties.[5] Nor can Kruse's model of white flight fully explain the zoning and planning strategies that kept elite neighborhoods and suburbs segregated by race and class. But all of this may be asking too much of a book which purports to tell the urban exodus and rightward politicization narratives of a smaller group of neo-segregationist whites.
While white flight may not, in fact, explain all of the demographic and political transformations that have reshaped and resegregated metropolitan regions across the country, White Flight certainly explains the clear ideological connections between grassroots forms of massive resistance and the secessionist politics that have grown out of huge swaths of white suburbia. And though Kruse has neglected non-white suburban migrations, intersuburban migrations, and even key issues, some real and others imagined, that fueled white flight (fear of crime, for instance) his book reminds readers that race, and racial avoidance, were central to the growth of white suburbia (and its political conservatism). Carefully researched, elegantly written, and boldly argued, White Flight is sure to become a classic in the field of urban political history, one that readers from a variety of disciplines will need to consult. For, in the end, Atlanta's story of white flight played out on a national scale.

Alaska and Washington, children of a common ancestor.
Long before Alaska gained statehood in 1959, Washington was economically and politically hitched to the last wilderness. When Sen. Warren Magnuson was defeated in 1980, the joke was given expression: Alaska had just lost its third senator, folks said.
Alaska's Bristol Bay fishery is a useful illustration of interwoven economies. The commercial sockeye salmon fishery is the most abundant and valuable on the planet, providing nearly half of the world's wild catch. Washington is a direct beneficiary, home to nearly 800 Bristol Bay commercial permits. This translates into more than 3,200 seasonal commercial fishing and seafood-processing jobs in Washington and $169 million in income to the Puget Sound region, according to a University of Alaska study prepared for the Bristol Bay Regional Seafood Development Association.
In 2010, the gamut from harvesting to processing was valued at $1.5 billion.
In Snohomish County, Bristol Bay is part of the local narrative: Fishing up north, salting away money for school or the down payment on a home. There are people like Everett's John Boggs who founded Deep Sea Fisheries in 1981. There are people like Chuck Carpenter, a lifelong Everett-ite who has fished in Bristol Bay for more than a decade. His son, Landon, crewed for Chuck and now runs his own boat.
All fear the proposed Pebble open-pit mine at Bristol Bay, threefold the size of Montana's infamous Anaconda mine. The scale and threat to the fishery has galvanized lawmakers, the seafood industry and Alaska natives who viscerally understand the potential for harm. In April, the EPA unveiled a revised watershed assessment that documents the fallout of a large scale mine development. (It ain't pretty.) The assessment is open for public comment until the end of the month, and a final assessment will be issued by the end of the year.
On Monday, five West coast senators, including Maria Cantwell and Patty Murray, sent a letter to President Barack Obama urging him to take a science-based approach to protect the fishery.
"Water contamination and habitat loss from the construction and operation of a hard rock mine in Bristol Bay would put thousands of fishery-related family wage jobs at risk," the senators wrote. "Our states have a strong maritime history of which our commercial fishing industries are a key part. In order to maintain these direct fishing and processing jobs, and the jobs supported by associated businesses..we must maintain healthy, sustainable fishery resources."
Amen. The Pebble mine should be a non-starter.

Our social responsibility
We support the following fields:
Specifically, we have set ourselves the following rules with respect to support for projects:
- We support organisations or events with a regional character.
- Our focus is on youth support activities.
- We only support team sports and groups, not individuals.
- Annually, we support no more than one activity for any one organisation.
Education and training
Our greatest capital is in the heads of our children. Youth promotion outside our own front door is a question of future viability, particularly for us as a regionally anchored company. That is the only way for us to give the right answers to the questions of a shortage of specialists and demographic change. For that reason, our support for education and training establishments starts in the kindergartens – and it doesn't stop at universities.
In our region, we support:
- Colleges and universities
- General education schools
- Vocational colleges
- Kindergartens
- Training initiatives and events
- Cooperation projects between schools/colleges and industry
Team sports enable us to promote our sustainability concept in two ways: movement creates awareness of one's body and so promotes one's health. Playful interaction creates team spirit and so promotes fairness in dealing with other people. Moreover, we consider it to be important to give young talents from the region the opportunity to take part in sports on a high level.
In our region, we support:
- Sports clubs and refereeing groups
- Sports events for different sports
- Therapeutic and popular sports
- Top-class sports in the region
Culture, in all its different facets, communicates new, unaccustomed perspectives, encourages critical thinking and creativity – and thus creates not only tolerance, but also the innovative heads that we need today and will need tomorrow.
In our region, we support:
- Music schools and competitions
- Cultural festivals and events
- Choirs and choral societies
- Theatre and open-air theatre
We are not all the same, but we should all get the same opportunities. That is why we endeavour to support people in our region with physical, mental or social constraints.
In our region, we support:
- Paediatric clinics
- Children's and young people's homes
- Self-help groups
- Establishments for people with physical or mental disabilities
- Local groups of the German Lifesavers Association (DLRG), Technical Assistance Service (THW), Fire Brigade and the German Red Cross (DRK)
- Aid organisations
We are the lead sponsor of the ebm-papst Marathon and of the ebm-papst Indoor Masters. In addition, we are also sponsors of the regional competition "Youth Research" in the region of Heilbronn-Franconia.
|23th ebm-papst Marathon
|Niedernhall, Germany
|September 8-9, 2018
|16th ebm-papst Indoor Championships
|Mulfingen, Germany
|January 6-7, 2018
|"Youth Research" - regional competition in Heilbronn-Franconia
|Künzelsau, Germany
|February 22-24, 2018

2013: M.S.S. Sports Coaching
Art Mota started playing soccer as a child, but that didn't spark his interest in a career as a soccer coach.
His first started thinking about coaching when he began working at a hotel, after his family moved from California to Mexico. The hotel that employed him participated in a soccer league and the coach for the team asked Mota if he would help out. Mota says that was when his passion for coaching soccer was born.
After returning to the states, Mota began coaching soccer at a high school in Fresno and earned his coaching licenses through the U.S. Soccer Federation. His coaching experiences encouraged Mota to earn a bachelor's degree in kinesiology from Fresno State and his master's in sports coaching with an emphasis in sports psychology from the United States Sports Academy.
Mota has coached soccer for 16 years at the high school, club, and collegiate levels and has refereed soccer games for 11 years. He is currently the head women's soccer coach at Chemeketa Community College in Salem, Ore., and he also coaches under-18-year-old girls there for the Cascade Fútbol Club in Salem, Ore.
Mota took time to sit down with The Alumni Network the day before his team's training season started to answer a few questions about the state of soccer in America and about his experiences while at the Academy.
Alumni Network: You have 11 years of experience refereeing. What are your thoughts on the recent stories about soccer fans and players taking their frustrations out on game referees?
Art Mota: A lot of these events are occurring at the youth level. Unfortunately, a lot of parents live vicariously through their kids and don't put things in perspective. They get too involved and too emotional and lose their self-control and get out of hand. These parents need to step back and put things in perspective—their child isn't playing for the World Cup. This is probably why we are having a shortage of referees because they are being attacked and verbally abused. It's honestly just not worth it. Parents need to recognize that referees at the youth level are more than likely just starting out and will make mistakes.
I have been personally threatened and forced off the field on one occasion. The other team had to step in and surround me and protect me from this angry parent. Emotions get high and people lose their self-control. What is sad is that the children see that and see their parents not respecting authority and they then learn from that and end up not respecting authority either. The same goes for the coach. If the coach is barking at the referee, the players see that and pick up cues off of that behavior. The coach needs to be a role model for the players.
AN: Another hot topic right now is concussions. Typically the discussion focuses on football, but recently there has been a push to recognize concussion occurrences in soccer. Do you think there needs to be more awareness about concussions in soccer?
AM: I think it is definitely going in the right direction. At both high school and college levels, coaches have to take concussion training on a yearly basis. At the club level, they need to require coaches to take concussion training. Concussions in soccer don't usually happen when a player hits the ball with their head. Concussions occur when it is head-to-head contact when players collide or an intentional elbow-to-head contact between two players. Soccer is a contact sport, but there is some head protection available to prevent concussions for players who have a history of concussions or head injuries. However, I was talking to a doctor recently who told me that this protection gear does not do any good. This new insight makes me unsure if I want to continue to recommend the gear to players now who have had concussions in the past.
We definitely need to raise awareness about concussions by requiring all coaches at any level to do concussion training. Maybe the Center for Disease Control or the National High School Coaches Association, or another organization could provide this training at no cost. It takes about 30 to 60 minutes to complete the training and take the test at the end. It informs coaches to look for warning signs. I recently diagnosed a player on the sidelines by taking her through a series of tests and ruled that she had suffered a concussion. Later, when she went to see the doctor, they confirmed my on-field diagnosis. Our number one priority as coaches is the safety of the players.
AN: Why do you think a professional women's soccer league hasn't thrived in America and do you think the National Women's Soccer League will survive?
AM: Yes, I think it will survive because most of the women's teams are affiliated with Major League Soccer teams now and that's a major benefit. I'm surprised that a women's league hasn't been going strong in the past, especially with so many networks out there. There are channels specifically geared towards women and those networks should pick up the women's soccer league. I have a daughter and I want her to have an equal opportunity to play at the professional level, if she wants to. Female players need the same opportunities as guys in getting to that level and playing professional soccer.
I recently encouraged my girls to try out for a professional Oregon team nearby, the Portland Thorns, because even if they don't make the team, they need to find out where they measure up to players of their age bracket. You need to get feedback about your strengths and weaknesses, so that you can be better prepared next time.
AN: Major League Soccer recently announced that it will expand the number of teams in America. I'm curious which four cities you think these teams should be located?
AM: I grew up in Fresno and that's a great place to add a team. It's in the middle of the state and is the sixth largest city in California. It also sits in the middle of the San Joaquin Valley and an MLS team would have a huge area to draw from with fans and sponsorships. Florida would also be a great region to have a team and maybe Arizona could be a good place to have a team. On the men's side of professional soccer, at least half of the players on the national team are Latinos, so putting teams in those regions would draw interest from those populations.
AN: What advice would you give to somebody looking to become a women's soccer coach?
AM: First off, you need to understand that women are different than men and boys to girls. You need to establish the fact that you are not making things personal when you are correcting anything. Girls take things more to heart and they feel that when you get on to them about something that it is a personal attack, when it's not. You have to set ground rules and expectation from both sides—what you expect of them and what they can expect from you. I tell them that I'm firm, but fair and let them know what my expectations are. I have an open-door policy, as well, and tell them that I am there for them to talk to if they need it. We can talk about soccer or anything else. I want them to know that I care about them both on and off the field.
Being a parent of a daughter helps a lot too because you are able to experience first-hand what it is to be involved with a women's team. You see how they communicate with each other and have relationships with each other. You get to watch how your daughter interacts with her team members.
AN: Finally, tell us was your favorite thing was about attending the Academy?
AM: Most definitely my favorite component of the Academy's degree program is the flexibility of being able to do my studies and assignments on my own time. I didn't have to show up to class at a certain time because that wouldn't work for me and my schedule. Ninety-five percent of the time, the 15 weeks you are given to complete each course was more than enough time to get through them.

There was an Associated Press article recently about a man accused of killing a bus driver and abducting a 5-year-old boy (�Ala. police tread carefully in case of young hostage,� Telegram & Gazette, Feb. 2).
He was a Vietnam-era veteran.
It really irritates me that every time someone does something bad, the newspapers all over the country have to say the word �Vietnam.� He was not a Vietnam veteran. He was just a man who was in the service during the Vietnam War.
If he had tackled a bank robber coming out of a bank, nobody would even know he was a veteran at all.
I think all Vietnam veterans have suffered enough � that the country turned their backs on us � without any more negative articles.
I am a proud Vietnam veteran.

[Illinois] ECE 416 Optical Sensors I
Published on
In this lecture, we begin our discussion of Optical Biosensors. We start off by showing the general properties of optical biosensors besides the SPR. Then, we shift our attention to the improvements made to the SPR Sensor's performance, but also limitations. Before moving onto the structure of the optical biosensor, we had to get an overview of the Thin Film Interference and its role as creating a reflection along with a refractive index for the light traveling through. We focus on a type optical biosensor called the Reflection Interference Spectroscopy (RIFS). The equation to measure the phase is seen compared to the structure of the biosensor. The output provides a means for measuring the reflection as a wavelength. As the distance of the interference layer increases, we see the period of the curve of the output begin to shift to the right. We then view a model of a biosensor that uses the RIFS system and the equipment setup.
My research group is focused on the application of sub-wavelength optical phenomena and fabrication methods to the development of novel devices and instrumentation for the life sciences. The group is highly interdisciplinary, with expertise in the areas of microfabrication, nanotechnology, computer simulation, instrumentation, molecular biology, and cell biology. In particular, we are working on biosensors based upon photonic crystal concepts that can either be built from low-cost flexible plastic materials, or integrated with semiconductor-based active devices, such as light sources and photodetectors, for high performance integrated detection systems.
Using a combination of micrometer-scale and nanometer-scale fabrication tools, we are devising novel methods and materials for producing electro-optic devices with nanometer-scale features that can be scaled for low-cost manufacturing. Many of our techniques are geared for compatibility with flexible plastic materials, leading to applications such as low cost disposable sensors, wearable sensors, flexible electronics, and flexible displays. Because our structures manipulate light at a scale that is smaller than an optical wavelength, we rely on computer simulation tools such as Rigorous Coupled Wave Analysis (RCWA) and Finite Difference Time Doman (FDTD) to model, design, and understand optical phenomena within photonic crystals and related devices.
In addition to fabricating devices, our group is also focused on the design, prototyping, and testing of biosensor instrumentation for high sensitivity, portability, and resolution. Advanced instruments enable high resolution imaging of biochemical and cellular interactions with the ability to monitor images of biochemical interactions as a function of time. Using the sensors and instrumentation, we are exploring new applications for optical biosensor technology including protein microarrays, biosensor/mass spectrometry systems, and microfluidics-based assays using nanoliter quantities of reagents. The methods and systems developed in the laboratory are applied in the fields of life science research, drug discovery, diagnostic testing, and environmental monitoring. -From Professor Cunningham's Faculty Profile

BRANDON — On Monday, the Otter Valley Union High School softball team bounced back from its first loss in four games, a 6-0 setback to Division I title contender Brattleboro on Saturday, to edge another D-I foe, Mount Anthony, 6-5.
The Otters improved to 7-3 and held onto fifth place in D-II. The Patriots, a good defensive team with some strong hitters, dropped to 2-10 as two pitchers combined to allow five hits and eight walks.
VERGENNES — It's been a long time since the Vergennes Union High School softball team has been able to enjoy being in first place — the late 1990s, when the Commodores won the Metro Conference championship.
But after Tuesday's 8-3 win over visiting Burlington, the Commodores can make that claim again: At 4-0, with three straight wins over Division I Metro teams, VUHS sits on top of the D-III standings, just ahead of Windsor (5-1).

I say to confirm its Bin laden, we need to get his birth certificate. A short version of it won't work either. We will need to double check that and triple check it. We will then need to find his mother and have her come and confirm who it is as well. A panel of observes will need to all be around when this happens to make sure its true and cameras need to be rolling. We need to get that one guy with the ability to bring a dead man back to life for a short period of time to zap him and confirm that he is bin laden himself by providing all his valid information and giving his place of birth as well. Then I'll be sure.

Foligno and Kassian were roommates while with the Sabres, and per the Windsor Star's Bob Duff, the Sudbury checker was impressed with what Kassian brought to the table in their second go-round in Buffalo.
"It was a good time in Buffalo," Foligno said. "We were actually roommates in Buffalo. He (Kassian) had a great camp."
Lasting well into pre-season play, both players allowed their minds to drift to the possibility that they might break into the NHL as teenagers. "Once you made the first cuts and most of the junior guys had been sent home, Kassian and I were in the same boat," said Foligno, who wears the same No. 71 made famous in the NHL by his father Mike. "You kind of start thinking, 'Maybe I have a chance,' and your confidence begins to build up. I was happy with what I did there. I thought I impressed them a little bit, got some NHL experience. Hopefully, we'll both bring it back to this level."
Lots of folks are excited about Kassian's big night, but in reality he's supposed to perform like this against a lower level of competition after getting a nice slate of NHL work during the Sabres exhibition schedule. The most refreshing development out of Sunday's performance is that his foot seems to be a non-issue after leaving Friday's game in Philadelphia.
Elsewhere in the OHL, Gregg Sutch finished -1 with six penalty minutes as Mississauga suffered their first defeat of the season at the hands of Ottawa, 6-2. Sutch was whistled for three stick infractions (two for slashing, one for high sticking) on a night when the Majors were playing their third game in three nights. Tyler Graovac ('11) recorded his first OHL hat trick to lead the 67's.
In the WHL, Riley Boychuk scored his first goal of the season as Portland downed Lethbridge, 6-2. On a second period power play, Ryan Johansen (CBJ) found Boychuk alone in front of the net to give the Hawks a 4-2 lead. Portland (3-1-0-1) has seen all but one of their draftees (Nino Niederreiter) return from NHL camps, setting the talented club on a path to gain a little separation in their division as the Dub season kicks into gear.
Mark Pysyk was even with two minor penalties as Edmonton skated to a 3-2 win over Moose Jaw. The Oil Kings, winners of three in a row, will take a five-day break before hosting Swift Current next Saturday.
In the QMJHL, Jerome Gauthier-Leduc (-2) had an assist as Rimouski was doubled on home-ice by Gatineau, 4-2. JGL and the Oceanic (5-4) will host Chicoutimi on Wednesday.
A night after leading his club with three points en route to a victory, Cedrick Henley registered two shots on goal and four hits as Val-d'Or lost in overtime to Lewiston, 5-4. Henley and the Foreurs (4-3-1-0) will host Drummondville on Wednesday.
In the opening weekend of NCAA exhibition play, Brad Eidsness stopped 15 of 16 shots in half a game's worth of work as #2 North Dakota defeated the University of Manitoba, 5-2. The only goal surrendered came when a puck deflected off the skate of dman Ben Blood (OTT) into the ND net.
Connor Knapp faced just four shots in 30:04 of play, stopping them all before giving way to Cody Reichard, as #3 Miami opened the exhibition schedule with a 6-0 shutout of Waterloo.
Nick Eno earned the start for Bowling Green in their exhibition opener with Wilfred Laurier, stopping 11 of 12 shots through a period and a half in the Falcons 4-3 win. The goal allowed by Eno came when former Dartmouth and OHL forward Ryan Bellows pounced on a turnover to quickly beat the 6'3 netminder. Bellows is the nephew of former NHL scorer Brian.
Drew MacKenzie was -2 as Vermont lost to New Brunswick, 3-2. The perennial CIS power Varsity Reds have historically played Hockey East clubs tight, and Sunday proved a good test to a Catamount defense that is expected to be relied on quite heavily this season in Burlington.

How It Works
Able Planet embeds patented LINX AUDIO® into audio and communication devices to enhance sound quality and speech clarity For All Levels of Hearing™. Here's how it works:
Sound quality and speech intelligibility are impacted by high frequency sounds
Hearing loss associated with age usually begins in the higher frequencies, or the "High Tones." If you lose the ability to clearly hear these tones, high pitched sounds like "f", "s" and "th" will be difficult to discriminate, and music may not sound as lively.
LINX AUDIO® creates high frequency harmonics that enhance sound quality and speech clarity of difficult to hear words or notes, and increase the perception of loudness without increasing volume. LINX AUDIO® provides full rich sound and enhanced speech clarity even at lower volumes, which may lead people to "Turn it Down™" to preserve hearing. An analogy of a richer sound might be the difference you hear when you play a "C" note on a piano, as opposed to a "C" Chord. The "C" Chord demonstrates the impact of adding harmonics to the audio signal.
LINX AUDIO® filters undesirable sound
LINX AUDIO® removes undesirable sounds and noise making it easier to hear high frequency words or notes where clarity is often lost, maximizing full rich sound for music, and enhancing clear voice for speech intelligibility.
LINX AUDIO® reduces distortion
Increasing volume increases all sounds, including distortion. As volume is increased, standard audio products hard clip peaks with traditional square-edge characteristics (red). LINX AUDIO® reduces harsh sounds by soft-clipping distortion (yellow).
LINX AUDIO® technology advantages
- Enhances sound quality
- Improves speech clarity
- Filters undesirable sound
- Reduces distortion
- Restricts electromagnetic interference
- Increases perceived loudness without increasing volume

LAKESIDE, Ore. – A woman was booked on domestic assault charges Friday after deputies say she "used a can of tomato sauce as a weapon" and beat up her husband, court documents show.
Katherine Lavigne, 53, of Lakeside could also face additional meth possession charges, the Coos County Sheriff's Office said.
Deputies were called out Friday evening on reports of an assault that had happened early that morning at a home on N 3rd Street.
They learned that Lavigne and her husband got into a fight about 3 a.m. when he asked "where she had been," a probable cause document states.
Based on evidence at the scene and other witnesses who were home at the time, investigators said they believe Lavigne threw canned goods at her husband and at one point punched him in the head.
While placing Lavigne under arrest for the Assault II (domestic) charge, she asked to put something back inside the home. Deputies say they saw her hiding what appeared to be a baggie of meth in one of her hands.
She was booked into the Coos County Jail on $250,000 bail and her case will be sent over to the District Attorney's office for an additional charge of unlawful possession of meth.

Missoula Schools to Implement School Safety Task Force [AUDIO]
Superintendent of Missoula County Public School District One Alex Apostle is planning to implement a school safety task force for Missoula schools.
Monday morning, students, teachers and parents were greeted by uniformed officers of the Missoula Police Department as they arrived at their schools. Missoula Police Chief Mark Muir assured Dr. Apostle over the weekend that officers would be on hand to reassure students of their safety at school.
Apostle says that because most of Missoula schools were constructed 40 to 50 years ago, the issue of security was not of paramount importance, so Apostle says he is organizing a task force of administrators, principals, teachers and community members to address the issue.The task force will be formed just after the new year.

Many conservation book repair programs in Alaska owe much to the author of this work. Artemis BonaDea has spearheaded the education of Alaska library personnel in these techniques since 1988. Beginning with brief presentations and one-on-one training in the 198Os, she has presented workshops in several Alaska locations since 1990.
In 1990, the Continuing Education Committee of the Alaska Library Association (AkLA) and the Library Coordinators of the Alaska State Library identified training in book repair and conservation as a high priority. In response, AkLA applied for and received an Interlibrary Cooperation Grant to offer three conservation-style repair workshops across the state. When added to previous presentations, at least one or two sections of this publication were presented in Palmer, Homer, Sitka, Juneau, Fairbanks, and Anchorage. In varying the length of presentation and location during the workshops, we determined what worked best in training and what hand-outs proved most useful. We also discovered that, while the hands-on workshops were very helpful, the trainees inevitably had questions when they returned to their libraries to face repair problems on their own. In addition, not all portions of the state could be offered these workshops, although we still believe that hands-on training works best for this subject. We considered a video tape as an alternative, but soon settled on a medium which would be universally accessible to all small libraries in the state: the written word with numerous illustrations.
As the workshops came to an end, this book began to take shape. Artemis had developed handouts for the presentations and in response to telephone requests. Subsequently, several individuals volunteered to follow the methods of conservation book repair found in this volume and offer suggestions in the attempt to make the language and illustrations as clear as possible. The explanations found in the publication have been field-tested in workshops as well as by individuals who have not been able to attend the workshops.
The Alaska State Library and the Alaska Library Association collaborated in producing this publication, but primary credit must go to Artemis BonaDea who has worked very hard to make this a successful publication. Artemis received training at the University of Washington, the University of Iowa, and Johns Hopkins University. Her work on this volume is artful, accessible, knowledgeable, and exacting: the same as her repairs. We are delighted to present this book to Alaska libraries and hope that it proves to be helpful. We will appreciate any comments and suggestions.

While summer settles in nicely and the tourists arrive en masse, there are plenty of places you really don't want to be in London right now: the overheated, overcrowded Tube being public enemy number one. Time to escape the city streets, head to one of the city's great parks, and feel the grass beneath your feet.

Azeb Mesfin, widow of Ethiopia's late Prime Minister Meles Zenawi
Ethiopia : Azeb Mesfin 'refusing to vacate palace
The powerful widow of former prime minister Meles Zenawi is reportedly stalling on vacating Ethiopia's national palace for the country's new leader and his family.
According to government sources, Mrs Azeb Mesfin has ignored instructions to move to a new residence that would also be accorded full security detail.
The government has given Mrs Azeb and her children the option of three residential villas in Addis Ababa but she is said to have refused to even visit any out of her own security concerns.
Government officials recently wrote a letter requesting her to leave the palace for the new prime minister, Mr Hailemariam Desalegn.
The new leader and his family are currently living in a small residential villa in the western suburb of the capital.
Mr Hailemariam was sworn in last month after having served as interim premier since Mr Meles' death on August 20. An internal struggle over whether to confirm him into office was said to have had the widow as one of the main players.
Due to the delay in transferring the palace, Mr Hailemariam is forced to stay in office late in the night and head back very early in the morning to avoid being inconvenienced by the busy Addis Ababa street that leads from his current home to his office. He is reportedly also avoiding inconveniencing city residents and uses less security detail than his predecessor.
The government has deployed tight security around his current home but wants him to move to the more guarded palace.
Mrs Azeb is one of the top officials and a former rebel fighter under the Tigrian Peoples Liberation Front (TPLF), one of the four coalition partners of the powerful ruling party, during the 17-year armed struggle against Mengistu Hailemariam's Marxist regime.
A mother of three, she secured a parliamentary seat in 2005 and was re-elected in 2010.
She also heads the multi-billion dollar ruling party-owned business conglomerate, EFFORT.

Women of the Bible sermon series
The Bible is full of faithful and gifted women who play a crucial role in the story of our relationship with God. Their vital role is often overlooked. I noticed that our sermon series in recent years had focussed on key people such as Moses, Paul, Daniel, Nehemiah, Elijah and Jonah. In a more patriarchal age, it is not surprising that the key leaders and prophets are men. What is surprising is that so many key characters are women, but apart from Ruth and Esther, they are not always in the limelight.
In this sermon series, Women of the Bible, we aim to dig deeper to tell the stories of women who were leaders, prophets, apostles and evangelists, such as Deborah, Hannah and Mary the Mother of Jesus. Then there are the women whom Jesus affirmed and commissioned, such as the Woman at the Well, the Women whose faith healed them, Martha and Mary. And there the woman who were leaders in the Early Church, such as Lydia, Priscilla and Junia, much valued by Paul who wrote those key words that "there is neither male nor female, because you are all one in Christ Jesus", affirming the equality that God established, Jesus confirmed and Paul reinforced. There are also women who are not such good role models, such as Delilah and Jezebel! As well as looking at women as individuals, we will also look at women of initiative, courage, faith and protest, and draw parallels with women in contemporary history who exhibit these qualities. It is fitting that the majority of these sermons will be preached by women, including guests visits from former preachers, Julie Hay and Teressa Cornish. I hope that you are looking forward to this series as much
as I am.

Find assisted living and nursing homes. Assisted living facilities and nursing homes provide information on senior home care assistance including independent living, retirement communities, apartment rentals and homes, and adult day care.
Assisted Living facility and Nursing Homes are residential facilities for older adults who require assistance with daily care. Many of the same services provided by Assisted Living may also be provided at a Nursing Home. Assistance may include nursing and elderly care as well as help with household chores, daily living activities, and transportation. Nursing Homes can provide short-term rehabilitative services to people recovering from hospital stays, as well as long-term care for people who don�t require hospitalization but can�t be cared for at home
Assisted Living facilities and Nursing Homes provide twenty-four hour nursing care for residents. This can include emergency first aid, pharmacy services, medication management, and medical record maintenance services. Most facilities offer regular medical checkups for residents from a staff physician or nurse. They also provide help with daily activities such as dressing, bathing, and transportation. Residents may have access to their own vehicles, and they can also participate in scheduled outings or request chauffeured transportation for appointments, classes, or errands.
Assisted Living and Nursing Homes may offer different levels of care depending on the facility. In addition to long-term care for seniors, Assisted Living and Nursing Homes can also provide short-term rehabilitative services for people recovering from hospital stays or whose home caregivers are temporarily unavailable. Some facilities specialize in memory care services, and many may offer home healthcare support or nurse services. Some Nursing Homes provide lighter care, while others care for seniors who may not be mobile or who need help eating. States license and regulate Assisted Living and Nursing Homes, and many states offer a tiered licensing system to represent different levels of care.
The residential housing at an Assisted Living facility or Nursing Home typically includes semiprivate or private apartments, or rooms for residents. The living spaces are designed for the comfort and safety of elderly residents, and they often include an emergency call response system. Some offer suites designed for couples, and many allow pets. Household care and maintenance services, such as laundry, cooking, and cleaning, are provided by the facility. This includes meals and snacks, which are offered through a dining hall.
The services provided by an Assisted Living Facility or Nursing Home include programs and activities designed for residents. These may include physical fitness classes, educational activities, and cultural and recreational events. Some facilities offer dance, art, and music classes, while others host book clubs, guest lectures, and round-table discussions. Physical fitness classes may include walking clubs, aerobics classes, and strength training classes.

Santa Barbara authorities were told nearly a year before
A witness reported the incident to deputies while they were investigating claims by Rodger that he was attacked and called a homophobic slur that night.
The Santa Barbara Sheriff's Department concluded that Rodger was the aggressor in the altercations. But for reasons that are unclear, they dropped the case without further investigating the accusations against Rodger.
The report offers more details on the July 20, 2013, altercation, the first of three times deputies contacted Rodger in the months leading up to his May 23 attack. But reports also raise more questions about those interactions, and about information deputies had when they conducted a welfare check on Rodger just three weeks before he killed six UCSB students.
The July incident was characterized as a potential hate crime because Rodger said one of his attackers had called him a derogatory term for a gay person, according to the police report. He said he was pushed off a 10-foot ledge and later beaten up by a group of 10 men — allegations he also described in a 137-page diatribe outlining his motives.
Rodger told deputies he had gone to a party the night of July 20 — just days before his 22nd birthday — where he got into a "verbal altercation" with four men, the report said. At one point, Rodger said, he called one of the men "ugly" and was "pushed off a 10-foot-high ledge" onto the sidewalk.
Rodger told authorities he then stumbled to a nearby frontyard and sat down in chair. Several minutes later, according to the report, Rodger said a group of 10 men approached him and told him to "get … out of here."
"He said the subjects then grabbed him and dragged him toward the driveway kicking and punching him," the report said. "He said he was able to punch one of the subjects before they stopped attacking him."
Deputies contacted Rodger at a local hospital the next day. The report noted Rodger had injuries to his forearms, elbows, knuckles, face and left ankle.
Rodger told the deputies he didn't know why he was beaten up or called the slur, the report said. When asked why he didn't call police after the assault, Rodger said he "didn't know who to call."
"During my contact with Rodger he appeared to not be forthcoming with me," the deputy wrote. "He appeared timid and shy and would not go into great detail about what had occurred."
However, a witness told deputies it was a man matching Rodger's description who started the fight when he tried to push two young women off the ledge. Neither fell, the witness said, but Rodger pushed two more people before "jumping off" the ledge and running away.
The witness said he didn't know what provoked the man, the report said. He told deputies the man was alone at the party, that his "demeanor was strange and he did not appear to be socializing."
In his own writing, Rodger admitted to trying to push the partygoers after the girls ignored him.
"I tried to push as many of them as I could from the 10-foot ledge," he wrote. "It was one of the most foolish and rash things I ever did, and I almost risked everything in doing it, but I was so drunk with rage that I didn't care."
Rodger said a group of men then started to push him, causing him to fall to the street below. He tried to go back to find his missing
"A whole group of the obnoxious brutes came up and dragged me onto their driveway, pushing and hitting me," he wrote. "I wanted to fight and kill them all."
A spokeswoman for the sheriff's office did not return calls seeking comment on the report.
Nearly six months later, on Jan. 15, sheriff's deputies again contacted Rodger, this time during a dispute he was having with one of his roommates. According to a second police report summarizing that incident, Rodger called 911 and accused his roommate of stealing three candles worth $22. Rodger had placed his roommate under a citizen's arrest.
The roommate, Cheng Yuan "James" Hong, told deputies he believed Rodger had taken one of his rice bowls and moved other belongings around the apartment. Rodger denied the claims, the report said.
Hong declined to return the candles, the deputy wrote, and was handcuffed and taken to jail. The Santa Barbara County district attorney's office later charged him with petty theft, but cleared the infraction after Hong's death.
Hong was one of three men authorities say Rodger stabbed to death in his apartment before embarking on his rampage across the streets of Isla Vista. Three other people were killed before Rodger died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
On Wednesday, state Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson (D-Santa Barbara) introduced two new bills inspired by the attack.
The first would require law enforcement officers to first check a state firearms database when investigating whether a person might be a danger to himself or others. Santa Barbara sheriff's officials have said the deputies who conducted an April 30 welfare check on Rodger did not run his name in the database, which would have revealed he had legally purchased three handguns.
The second bill would provide grants to local law enforcement agencies so they can help clear a backlog of thousands of gun owners who purchased firearms legally but whose weapons should be confiscated because of subsequent criminal convictions or significant mental health problems that disqualify them from gun ownership under California law.
Times staff writer Patrick McGreevy contributed to this report.

If your child has strabismus, which is a misalignment of the eyes, it's usually the result of a neuromuscular problem. Our pediatric ophthalmologists may recommend glasses or even surgery to straighten the eyes. The important thing is to begin treatment as soon as possible to help improve your child's vision.
Strabismus ("struh-BIZ-mus") occurs when both eyes are oriented in different directions.
Sometimes called "crossed eyes" or "walleye," pediatric strabismus often begins when a child is very young and is usually the result of a problem with neuromuscular, including brain, control of eye movement, or less often, the actual eye muscle.
Signs of Strabismus in Children
Strabismus can be congenital (present at birth) or develop in childhood. Many times a family member or teacher notices the misalignment of the eyes; however, there are some signs and symptoms your child might exhibit, including:
- complaining of double vision (seeing two objects when there's only one in view)
- having trouble seeing things in general
- squinting or head tilting (particularly in kids who aren't old enough to talk)
Left untreated, strabismus can cause vision loss. Only a trained pediatric ophthalmologist can diagnose and treat strabismus in children, so talk to your child's doctor if you suspect there is a problem. A referral to Nemours might be necessary.
