Double dip for Warriors/Wahine
By WES NAKAMA
Stephens Media Hawaii
HONOLULU — University of Hawaii basketball fans can double their pleasure Friday with a women's and men's doubleheader at the Stan Sheriff Center.
The double-dip tips off at 5 p.m. as the Rainbow Wahine (4-2) take on Colorado State (3-1), followed by the Rainbow Warriors vs. Montana (1-3) at 7:30. Both games will be televised live statewide on OC16.
Montana is 1-3 but two of the losses were narrow defeats to solid programs. The Grizzlies lost at Washington, 83-79, on Tuesday after leading 42-36 at halftime, and fell to San Francisco at home, 75-74, on Nov. 22. Montana finished last season at 25-7 and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the second straight year and third time in four years.
Friday's meeting is a return game from an ESPN Bracket Busters game at Missoula, Mont., on Feb. 18, 2012. The Grizzlies won that one 94-79.
Tickets for the women's game (all general admission) are $7 for adults, $5 for senior citizens and $3 for students and may be purchased until halftime. Fans in the arena by halftime are welcome to stay for the men's game, as long as they move to an unoccupied seat in the upper level.
Tickets for the men's game are $26 for the lower bowl, $18 for the upper level, $16 for senior citizens (upper level) and $5 for youth (ages 4 through high school, upper level). Anyone with a men's ticket will be admitted free into the women's game.
BIG WEST FINALE FOR WAHINE SPIKERS: The No. 12-ranked UH women's volleyball team, meanwhile, wraps up its Big West Conference season with road matches at Cal Riverside on Friday and Cal State Fullerton on Saturday.
The Rainbow Wahine are 22-4 overall and 11-3 in the Big West, trailing first-place Cal Santa Barbara (12-2) and second-place Cal State Northridge (12-3). But UH is No. 11 in the important Ratings Percentage Index, which is used as a tool by the NCAA Tournament selection committee in determining the top 16 seeds.
By rule, the top 16 seeds are supposed to be offered the opportunity to host first and second-round matches Dec. 5-7.
Cal Riverside is 2-25, 1-14, and Cal State Fullerton is 11-16, 4-11.
FOOTBALL TICKET SALES WILL HELP PHILIPPINES: Ticket sold for Saturday's UH football game vs. Army will be matched by a $5 donation to the "Filipino Community Center – Aloha for Philippines" fund to benefit victims of Typhoon Haiyan.
The donation, with a maximum of $20,000, is being provided by UH supporters who asked to remain anonymous.
MEN'S SWIMMERS WIN ARENA INVITATIONAL: The Rainbow Warriors swim team won the Arena Invitational championship last Saturday at Monterey Park, Calif.
UH had five first-place finishes and ended up with 1,649 points, well ahead of second-place host UC San Diego (1,261).
Yuri Samouilich won the 100 free, Alistar MacLean won the 200 back and the two of them joined Karl-Richard Hennebach and Ryan Mukata to win the 400 free relay. Eduardo Guimaraes (200 fly) and Victor Goicoechea (1,650 free) each won gold medals in their events.
The Rainbow Wahine took third place in the women's competition, behind first-place San Diego State and runner-up San Jose State.

ALPHA OMEGA: The World's Quickest & Fastest R35 GT-R!
Note: All passes were completed in AWD. AMS uses a Syvecs AWD Controller to temporarily disengage the front wheels to complete each burnout. With the Texas Speed Syndicate King of the Streets victory in the books, it was time once again to focus on the drag strip for our shop R35 GT-R ALPHA OMEGA. OMEGA bas been doing its part to really test our Alpha VR38 Billet Block Program. Typically, at these high power levels, anyone in the game knows that the engine is like a grenade with the pin pulled out. We realized a while back we were surpassing the limits of the factory VR38 engine block. The block was flexing, causing bearing and head gasket failures. With our new billet block, we've remedied this by creating a solid foundation. Since introducing the Alpha Billet Block to Omega she has gone on a tour of sorts: Setting the ½ mile record for the R35 GT-R at 224.91mph Winning the King of the Streets event for the second time in a row Multiple short track test sessions at the drag strip To top it all off, we have now run this full track rental day without a rebuild. Truly remarkable how much abuse this motor has taken at this astonishing HP level. Read full details of Alpha Omega's 1/4 mile record pass here: http://alphaperformance.com/alpha-ome...

Sales of Explainer Videos
- Status Closed
- Budget $30 - $250 USD
- Total Bids 4
Project Description
nb. I ask kindly that you address every point I ask to be addressed in this proposal. The chances of me working with an individual who leaves out information that i've asked of them is slim.
Hi, my company, Day 3 Creations, sell a number of creative products. At the moment I am looking to drive sales of our explainer videos.
Here is an example of one we produced not long ago: [url removed, login to view]
Explainer videos are becoming a must-have for many areas of business; particularly for businesses who want something spelled out without having to put their audience through death-by-reading on their website/product's home page.
I am looking for an individual (or team) to sell this product on a commission-only basis.
I have a few template emails with info and links that you can email out in a speculative manner to relevant businesses; but in following up, i'd expect you to have a good handle on written English as you will be representing Day 3 Creations, so I don't want the process to appear amateurish to any potential clients. The quality of your English and grammar in your proposal will be of importance.
I am open to how you may want to achieve sales but my suggestion prior to dialogue with you would be this:
* Bid on Elance, Freelancer, Odesk, Guru and People Per Hour.
* Create a database of relevant business types, then specific businesses and contact each business through their contact page with one of my email templates.
* Telephone businesses you think might benefit.
* Use any tools or connections that you might already have at your disposal.
I ask that every contact is logged, with notes on how they were contacted and what the end result was (ie Not interested as have an animator, Video purchased, Never replied, Said will come back to me in September etc etc)
Please bid with a commission that you would expect per sale. I can potentially adjust my price, but naturally the lower the bid the more interesting the proposition, but some who can really deliver will be a priority. Please lay out exactly how you might approach this, success you may have had previously of a similar nature and any tools, skills, social media, networks or contacts at your disposal.
This will be a long term partnership for the right individual. I have a number of products that I sell, but right now, I don't want to muddy the water. Once we're up and running however, you may want to sell all of our products on a commission.
Please begin you application with "I read it through." I can smell a pasted in pitch from a mile off so please write to me!
Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you.Get free quotes for a project like this

Mario Kart Wii Game Review
Mario Kart has been about for a while now and its newest release is Mario Kart Wii. This game comes with a specially designed Wii-wheel for a more life-like experience. There are many new things in Mario Kart Wii including motorbikes which come with wheelies for some extra speed, tricks which can be performed when jumping off a ramp and gives a small boost when you land again. There is also one new thing that was made to make the game fairer, instead of going left-right-left-right to get a mini-turbo you automatically get it after a duration of drifting (only on manual), bikes only get blue but karts get blue and red (this was made because of snaking and the Wii-wheel, it's hard to go left and right with the Wii-wheel). Now onto the review... Gameplay: The gameplay is surely the best part of Mario Kart Wii because of the hard and annoying single player and the fun and addictive multiplayer. The single player is basically Grand Prix, Time Trail and unlocking characters and vehicles. The Grand Prix is made of 50cc (easy), 100cc (still easy), 150cc (hard) and 150cc Mirror (hard and made even more complicated because the track is the opposite). By finishing all of these you would have unlocked a lot of things already. And there are a lot of stuff to unlock. I give Gameplay a... 9.5/10 AWESOME Graphics: The graphics in this game didn't get as much attention as it should have however it is still very good, there are some magnificent looking courses. The Retro courses look old and boring where as most of the new courses are beautiful (Maple Treeway and Grumble Volcano). When playing single player the graphics are very well done but when you play split-screen the graphics get much worse, especially with three or four people. The Graphics are OK and some courses look fine so I give it a... 8.5/10 Great Sound: The sound in this game sometimes is nice and peaceful but other times it's just plain annoying. Each course has its own background music and some are pretty dramatic, there are also some nice sound effects (when you fly through the leaves in Maple Treeway there is the sound of whooshing leaves). But there are some bad things, each character has their own noises when they do a particular thing (get hit, bumped, pass someone, fall into a hole and so on...) this gets so annoying especially when you do wheelies and tricks all the time. The sound quality is great but sometimes it gets annoying so I give it... 8/10 Very Good Verdict: Mario Kart Wii is a great game, one of the best on the Wii even with its many faults. I give this game a... 9/10 SUPER! Recommendation: I recommend buying this right away if you haven't gotten it yet, and if you don't have a Wii, get one!

This game can be addicting
Yet another wonderful Mario game comes out: Mario Kart Wii. Like most Wii games you use the remote in a direction you would do if you were doing it in real life; in other words you move the Wii remote like you're driving. Races are fun and there are cool powerups to get. But that's where the bad messages come in. You throw objects (bombs, lightning zap but no one gets hurt badly and no blood) at the opponent and your player mocks them if they hit them. Also when you lose, the characters make too much of a big de about it, like in mist games. This is what also makes it iffy for kids. I think 7+ is age appropriate

Good for all ages.
Fun, kid and family-friendly game for all ages. My 3-year-old cousin loves it, as does my 48-year-old stepfather. There is some very light violence, with things such as shells, bombs and banana peels. No one is ever injured, just slowed down in the race. The single-player missions involve strategizing, and the multi-player mode initiates good teamwork.

Too much consumerism
Best racing game on the Wii !
This game has nothing bad in it , except the power ups maybe. You can also play online with other players but you can't really chat with them , only race them so that's fine . This game is easy to play , and even easier with the Mario Kart steering wheel

Great Mario Kart, fun for everyone!
Now this is one fun Nintendo game. With a great steering wheel, fun gameplay and good graphics, this mario kart is a blast to play with the whole family!
It is a game you KNOW you can't put down till you unlock all the secrets!
Released in '07/'08, Mario Kart Wii brought the genius from all of the previous games in the series, and made it into a neo-perfect game! I'm the champ in my family! Mario Kart is a game where I WISH where characters from other Nintendo series would appear in. Maybe in Mario Kart VIII...

omg awesome game
o my gawd any wii owner should have this
Addictive and fun!
I love MarioKart, and so does everyone else in my family! We got obsessed with it for a while, playing it every day for a long time. Now, we don't play as much, but I still love it. The game could possibly help with your driving skills some day- that's why I said fair for learning- but other than that, there isn't much educational value, I have to admit.
If you don't like Super Mario then you are a wierdo!
I'm a big Super Mario fan! This game is a LOAD of fun! I'm always entertained by it! I would suggest you buy it at GameStop!
Appropriate for even a 1-second old!
For People who can Handle Hard Racing Games (8+)
Fun for everyone
I would even say it's good for 5 year olds, except my friends sister is 5 and she can't exactly hold down the 2 button in order To drive. It's really fun and entertaining, good graphics, tons of characters, really fun
Mario Kart Wii
This game is a lot of fun. The game is completely family friendly and the violence in it is only when you send items like turtle shells to hit the other races to slow them down or if you fall off a ledge the game shows a black screen and then puts you at a checkmart. This game has great graphics for the Wii and is one of my favorite Mario game I would recommend it to anyone.
Kids get addicted,trust me I know
Ok my stepbrother started playing this..... Now he's one wore addicted. He crys if he doesn't get to play it. When they're over only HE barely eats saying I wanna ply Wii and MARIO KART!

In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Hanley Castle like this:
HANLEY-CASTLE, a village, a parish, and a subdistrict, in Upton-on-Severn district, Worcester. The village stands on the W side of the river Severn, 1½ mile NW of Upton-on-Severn r. station, and 6 W of Defford; and has a post office ‡ under Worcester. The parish includes also the village of Malvern Wells, and the hamlets of Blackmore End, Hanley-Quay, and Gilberts-End. Acres, 5, 630. Real property, £14, 308. Pop., 1, 733. Houses, 367. A castle here, some remains of which exist, belonged to Brictic who refused the hand of Maud, afterwards the wife of William the Conqueror; passed to the Earls of Warwick; was the death place of Henry-de-Beauchamp; and passed to the Despencers, the Savages, the Arles, the Lechmeres, and the Charltons. ...
Hanley Castle mansion is now the seat of Thomas Gee, Esq.; Blackmore Park is the seat of John V. Hornyold, Esq.; Rhydd Court is the property of Sir Edmund A. H. Lechmere, Bart.; and Severn End is the ancient seat of the Lechmere family. Invalids resort to Malvern Wells; and there is a wharf on the Severn at Hanley-Quay. The living is a vicarage in the diocese of Worcester. Value, £650. * Patron, Sir E. A. H. Lechmere, Bart. The church is partly decorated English, partly brickwork of 1674; has a tower; was restored in 1858; and has two recent memorial windows. The p. curacy of Malvern Wells is a separate benefice. There are a Roman Catholic chapel, an endowed grammar school, rebuilt in 1869, a national school, and a working men's institute. -The sub-district includes five other parishes. Acres, 20, 007. Pop., 11, 377. Houses, 2, 011.

Reframing Diversity
By Jeffrey Withington
The role diversity ought to play in the Navy's personnel policies has been the subject of much attention in the blogosphere (CDR Salamander's Diversity Thursdays) and traditional media. I hope to examine the potential effects of diversity in the military and offer a new way forward in the public debate regarding diversity in the military.
First, let's establish that the Navy's policies should propel the service in the direction of effectiveness. Furthermore, diversity is a means to an end and advocates of diversity should realize its hard to sell the circular logic that "efforts to diversify personnel are good because diversity is good." Using this language, diversity is both the means and the end! However, can a connection be made between diversity and effectiveness, which should be the ultimate goal of every policy? I think so.
I, too, was skeptical of this claim regarding the benefits of diversity, but the core arguments in favor of meaningful diversity are rather simple. Dr. Scott Page, a researcher in modeling complex systems, explains: "Diverse groups of people bring to organizations more and different ways of seeing a problem and, thus, faster/better ways of solving it. People from different backgrounds have varying ways of looking at problems, what I call "tools." The sum of these tools is far more powerful in organizations with diversity than in ones where everyone has gone to the same schools, been trained in the same mold and thinks in almost identical ways."
It's important to note that Dr. Page is commenting on cognitive diversity, not identity diversity (although is a connection between the two). His book, The Difference, opens with a discussion of how diversity advanced the ends of the military during WWII. The success of Bletchley Park in breaking the German Enigma code owe in large part to the diverse nature of the team of mathematicians, philosophers, chess champions, and crossword puzzle whizzes! When you have a team composed of individuals who each approach a complex problem in a unique manner, you can find the most effective solution. As the CNO's Diversity Policy explains, "Diversity of thoughts, ideas, and competencies of our people, keeps our Navy strong, and empowers the protection of the very freedoms and opportunities we enjoy each and every day."
The Marine Corps' Lioness Program is a modern example of how diversity in the military is used towards effective ends. ""I don't think there was a Marine out there who didn't understand the importance of having females there,…We didn't look at them as females serving at a checkpoint, we just saw another Marine," said one Marine. Would the US military of 50-60 years ago think to engage a foreign population of women? Would it have done so effectively?
When advocates of diversity wander from the task of strengthening the Navy/Marine Corps team and merely understand diversity as a means to itself, then diversity policies are rightfully criticized. However, diversity is clearly a tool we can use to strengthen the Navy and Marine Corps when we understand its power and effects.

From Pro Bono Law of BC
The future of pro bono in Canadian law firms
Will pro bono become part of our corporate culture? Canada's first national pro bono conference, held May 6 and 7 in Toronto, drew lawyers from across the country interested in formalizing a commitment to pro bono.
Law firms in Canada have a long history of delivering pro bono legal services, thanks to the efforts of individual lawyers who believe in the work. Why do lawyers take on pro bono cases? Not surprisingly,
the reasons vary. It can be inspired by a sense of professional duty, personal commitment to a cause or a sense of moral obligation. It may also reflect the lawyer's interest in expanding his or her horizons and skills, doing something different from the firm's day-to-day work or enhancing opportunities for advancement or recognition within the bar.
But if individual lawyers have consciously stepped up to the challenge of helping poor people in need, law firms are just now starting to look at a formal commitment to pro bono programs.
It is true that many firms have encouraged their lawyers to take on pro bono work, and some have even adopted written pro bono policies. But as recently pointed out by Paul Schabas, a partner at Blake, Cassels and Graydon LLP in Toronto, the problem with these policies is that they "say the right things" but are generally short on substance. As a result, the pro bono efforts of law firms have remained largely unstructured.
Most Canadian law firms have yet to build pro bono into their corporate culture, and have yet to derive the benefits of making pro bono part of their corporate identity. But that is changing.
Canada's national law firms are in the midst of that change. Managing partners of several national firms were among the 150 participants from across Canada who attended the first national conference, held May 6-7 in Toronto under the banner of "Building the Public Good: Lawyers, Citizens and Pro Bono in a Changing Society." Organized by Pro Bono Law of Ontario and hosted by the Law Foundation of Ontario, Legal Aid Ontario, the Law Society of Upper Canada and the Ontario Bar Association, the conference served as a think-tank for law firms and leaders in the legal profession and judiciary, including the Chief Justice of Canada, the Treasurer of the Law Society of Upper Canada and the national President of the Canadian Bar Association.
For several of the national firms, the future path is clear. They intend to take a more formal, organized approach to pro bono. Through new pro bono policies, they expect to address such pivotal issues as what office resources will be available for pro bono work and what credit they will give to lawyers who participate in a firm's pro bono program. In particular, the challenge is for law firms to give actual credit for pro bono work toward a lawyer's billable hour targets. Paul Schabas summed it up succinctly, "you must put your money where your mouth is."
The business case for pro bono was the focus of one session at the Toronto conference. Without a doubt, most firms want some empirical evidence so as to be persuaded of the value of a pro bono policy. Some lawyers even raised the perplexing matter of budgeting for pro bono - is it a cost or is it revenue? Among the best evidence for skeptics, proponents pointed to the list of the 100 most profitable law firms in the United States, published in American Lawyer. All these leading US firms have highly developed pro bono policies. According to conference speaker Esther Lardent, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Pro Bono Institute at Georgetown University Law Center, profitability has not suffered in these firms from the implementation of pro bono policies; in fact, in many cases, profitability has increased.
While adopting a pro bono policy will always involve some leap of faith, several of the national law firms are finding that a strong business case can be made. Some clients of law firms with international offices, for example, may expect to be advised of the firm's pro bono policy as a matter of corporate social responsibility.
From a law firm perspective, an attractive pro bono policy also serves as a recruitment tool and offers opportunities for professional development, team-building and a feeling of loyalty and pride. In the view of conference speaker Michael Barrack, a partner with McCarthy Tétrault, LLP, a pro bono policy improves the quality of life in a law firm and that leads to workplace satisfaction which, in turn, leads to retention of the firm's lawyers.
Canadian law firms are just now joining a pro bono movement that has already firmly taken root in the United States and Australia.
Future issues of the Benchers' Bulletin will feature news on pro bono policies in BC and the options a law firm can explore in developing its own policy. A firm might, for example, identify the types of cases or clients most suited to the firm's practice or might commit to an ongoing partnership with one or more community organizations in need of pro bono services. All speakers at the Toronto conference noted the need for a law firm to "start small" and to develop a highly successful project to maintain credibility.
Pro Bono Law of BC can offer ideas for partnerships between law firms and community groups in BC, and create opportunities for connection.
For more information, please contact Pat Pitsula, Executive Director, Pro Bono Law of BC at firstname.lastname@example.com or call at 604 893-8932, ext. 1.
Benchers help Pro Bono Law of BC
The Benchers have approved a $15,000 grant to Pro Bono Law of BC for 2004.
Pro Bono Law of BC is a non-profit society that strives to facilitate the provision of pro bono legal services and to raise the profile of lawyers who deliver pro bono services in BC.
A joint initiative of the Law Society of BC and the BC Branch of the Canadian Bar Association, Pro Bono Law of BC has been funded primarily by the Law Foundation of BC and the Law Society.
Pro Bono Law of BC plans outreach to the profession to explain the value of pro bono in law firms and to promote the pro bono opportunities that BC lawyers can pursue, from individual participation in clinical programs to pro bono partnerships between law firms and community organizations.
This past year, Pro Bono Law of BC has worked with the Law Society on the extension of insurance coverage to non-practising and retired members who wish to provide services through approved pro bono programs, and currently is one of several organizations working on a BC Supreme Court civil duty counsel project.

19 Varieties of Gazelle: Poems of the Middle East
"Tell me how to live so many lives at once ..."
Fowzi, who beats everyone at dominoes; Ibtisam, who wanted to be a doctor; Abu Mahmoud, who knows every eggplant and peach in his West Bank garden; mysterious Uncle Mohammed, who moved to the mountain; a girl in a red sweater dangling a book bag; children in velvet dresses who haunt the candy bowl at the party; Baba Kamalyari, age 71; Mr. Dajani and his swans; Sitti Khadra, who never lost her peace inside.
Maybe they have something to tell us.

Teach our children well
In this holiday season, when people should be focusing on the beauty and greatness of life, many Americans, including myself, have sadness in their hearts. Last Friday, December 14, 2012 will forever be remembered as the day gun violence took the lives of 27 Americans, including 20 innocent children in Newtown, Conn., and shook the very core of many more.
Bloodshed by means of firearms has reached epidemic proportions. A study in the journal Trauma and Acute Care Surgery found that the gun murder rate in America is nearly 20 times higher than the next 22 richest and most populous nations combined. In fact, when taking the death rate by homicide of the world's 23 wealthiest countries, 80% occur right here in the United States.
I could easily cite more statistical evidence about how pressing this issue is, but I prefer to share my story and make a public plea. Hundreds of questions can be asked, but the most basic of these seem to be: How does gun violence keep happening and how many people's lives does gun violence have to personally touch until something is done?
My life has been touched by gun violence. Jason Baker, my friend and a young Indianapolis Sheriff's Deputy, died selflessly on Sept. 17, 2001, by gunfire from four thugs with an AK-47; he died protecting the weak and vulnerable. Nothing in modern medicine exists to fix a gunshot to the head. Jason was just 24.
Although he was a law enforcement officer and knew the dangers of the profession, his death isn't any less tragic than the most recent mass murder victims. Jason loved his job, family, and the little things, such as a bike ride on a nearby trail. Writing about such a great person causes pain, but his story must be told and he must serve as a call to end these nonsensical acts. In this particular case, as well as over 90% of cases related to gun violence, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the offender turns out to be a male.
Reading newspaper articles, watching stories on the local news, or listening to a story by a friend at the local tavern about gun violence shows that it has ingrained itself into our daily routine. Yes, there are systematic changes that need to take place, but from a societal perspective, males in particular need to be given more opportunities to express themselves using their strength in constructive ways.
As the father of an 18-month old son, I worry about the direction society is taking in regards to our males and manliness. Therefore, I am making a personal plea, which I hope my fellow Wisconsinites and Americans will join in, that we provide ways that males, especially young males, can channel violent thoughts and aggressive actions by guiding them better.
We could do more to teach them that strength is good - when it protects the weak and innocent, when it's used to help the helpless, when it's directed to the good of others. Let boys be boys; let them roughhouse, but teach them to use their strength on behalf of the vulnerable. If we show concern for their manly strength and we show care, they will, too.
That's what Jason Baker taught.
With 2013, just around the corner, let's not settle for an annual average of 30,000 deaths In America. I love America, and although it currently has this blemish, it can and will be corrected. I want my son to grow up in an America that is safe. I want my son to cry tears of happiness when he has his first child and not tears of sadness because he had to bury a friend because of gun violence.
As Desmond Tutu said, "The impulse to care, the instinct for goodness, is a shining thread woven into the fabric of our own goodness."
Let's be sure our boys learn that.

The ground floor of the Bloomsbury Theatre, home to University College London (UCL) students' union, is filling up with crowds of students, patiently waiting their turn to enter the small metal lifts that will take them up to Friday prayers.
It's the first Friday back at the university since news broke over the Christmas holidays that a former UCL student and worshipper here, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, tried to blow up a plane on Christmas Day.
On the second floor, the main prayer hall is packed. Around 150 "brothers" – a term of respect to symbolise the Muslim family – cram into the room. An additional 80 pray on the floor below, and the "sisters" pray in a side room, next to the main hall.
The imam addresses the worshippers – now amassed over the two floors – through speakers. "Islam is a religion of peace. Muslims are tolerant people. We must be patient during these testing times. Allah punishes the killing of innocent civilians – this is not the opinion of someone standing on the pulpit, or a small number of Muslims, this is the opinion of 99 per cent of the Ummah [community]."
During a non-alcoholic "happy hour" after prayers, the students crack open bottles of Coca-Cola and lemonade. Mojeed Adams-Mogaji is a third-year engineering student and president of UCL's Islamic Society (Isoc). He says he is still troubled by the news he heard during the Christmas holidays. "Once again, we're being attacked for the action of an individual. But I have to say that as Muslims, Islam totally denounces all acts of terrorism, be it against Muslim or non-Muslim alike, and we at UCL Islamic society, we totally denounce and dissociate ourselves from such an action.
"As a society, we organise events to publicly discuss the issue of extremism and terrorism; and the kind of events that we hold do not in any way instigate radicalisation or terrorism," he adds.
Mohammed Mahmoud is a third-year biology student who knew Abdulmutallab well. "I met him through the Islamic Society. He was president at the time, and I remember he was delivering the khutbah [Friday sermon] when I first met him. I can't remember what the sermon was about now, but I can remember he was softly spoken."
Mahmoud also remembers that he was very courteous. "I cannot express to you how well-mannered he was. He was so polite and calm. I never heard him raise his voice, I never saw him get angry and he would never, ever, use bad language."
Mahmoud was at home when he heard the news about the Christmas Day attack. He said that at first he thought the news reports were referring to another man with a similar name, but when he realised it was the Abdulmutallab he knew, he was shocked. "I still genuinely can't believe he would do something like this. I keep trying to come up with theories as to why, what's really going on, but all my theories fall flat. I just don't understand."
Since the incident, the UCL Isoc students feel victimised. However, they all say one thing: the actions of one former student do not represent them or their faith. Adams-Mogaji says: "I do understand public concerns. Be it Muslim or non-Muslim, we are all concerned by this surge in terrorism. Yet terrorism, extremism, radicalisation, do not differentiate between Muslim or non-Muslim.
"We are students, we want to be like other students, we want to take part in university activities, we want to do well academically, we want to live a good life after we finish our education. But with this kind of media, it's something that will actually affect us individually as Muslims."
Many UCL Isoc graduates have gone on to establish illustrious careers. Sheikh Asif Mehmood graduated in 2006 with a project management degree. The 26-year-old now works as an engineer for a multi-billion dollar American construction and engineering company.
Sohail Malik read politics and East European studies. He graduated in 2004 and is now working as a television producer for an international news channel.
Zakir Matin studied mathematics and biology, he graduated in 2006 and after completing a PGCE he is working as a maths teacher in south-east London, in one of the most socioeconomically deprived boroughs in the country.
Ruksana Begum, another maths graduate, left UCL in 2005 and has since been teaching the subject to secondary school pupils, helping them get through their Key Stage 3, GCSE and A-Level exams. She's off to do some voluntary work in Peru later this year.
These are all professional young men and women, who have productively contributed to society. They have not claimed benefits, nor have they been involved in "radical" activity.
Qasim Rafiq, a former UCL Isoc president who was a close friend of Abdulmutallab, is now a spokesman for the Federation of Student Islamic Societies. He says: "If a speaker hasn't promoted violence, if they haven't incited hatred, then surely we are doing a disservice to the population, Muslim and non-Muslim, by not allowing speakers to come on to campus, and not allowing them to engage in these sorts of discussions. That for me is the role of universities, allowing these debates to take place.
"I admit that if an individual or a group of individuals, maybe five, six or seven members of the Islamic Society, all conspired and were involved in a terror-related arrest or conviction, that obviously does raise questions about that Islamic Society at that particular time, but there's never been an incident like that."
Rafiq is studying for his PhD in stem-cell research at a university outside London – another example of a successful former UCL Isoc member. He says he last came into contact with Abdulmutallab in 2008, a couple of weeks after graduating. Abdulmutallab mentioned that he wanted to study for an MBA in Dubai, which it seems that he did, and from there he went to study in Yemen.
Rafiq says it is wrong to question UCL Isoc's activities because of the Abdulmutallab case. "For me, it begs the question: what happened [after his time at UCL]? People look at Umar and say 'He was the president of the Islamic society, therefore the UCL Islamic society is promoting hatred and is a breeding ground for extremism', but I can say categorically – as many others can – that it wasn't his time at UCL [that caused him to become radicalised].
"Islamic societies are part of the solution, they are not the problem, and by focusing on them and pressuring them and victimising them, you're taking away the very tool that we can use to combat this evil," says Rafiq.
While media speculation may continue to tarnish Islamic Societies throughout Britain, UCL's Isoc members gain strength from one another, through prayers, football – and non-alcoholic happy hours.Reuse content

CINCINNATI -- Jason Bay figured he still knew how to hit home runs.
The NL rookie of the year hit his first of the season and drove in two runs Thursday as the Pittsburgh Pirates stopped a five-game losing streak with a 4-2 win over the Cincinnati Reds.
"We were in desperate need of a win," Pittsburgh manager Lloyd McClendon said. "Hopefully, we can get on a roll. I told the guys to keep on fighting."
Bay had three hits, finishing a triple short of the cycle, and his solo homer in the fifth to center field off Eric Milton (2-2) was his first since Sept. 29.
"I wasn't trying to do it, but it's good to know I still can," said Bay, who hit 26 homers last season, when he became the first Pittsburgh player to win the rookie award.
Kip Wells (1-3), pitching on his 28th birthday, won for the first time in six starts since Aug. 7 at San Diego, allowing two runs, three hits and five walks in five innings.
"It wasn't a real good outing, but the last three or four have gotten progressively better," Wells said. "I didn't feel like I pitched well, but I made pitches when I had to."
Wells, 3-0 in his career when pitching on his birthday, avoided what would have been the first 0-4 start of his career.
"I thought his stuff was tremendous," McClendon said. "He just threw too many pitches."
Jose Mesa pitched the ninth for his fifth save in five chances, giving up a two-out double to pinch-hitter Jacob Cruz and a walk to Ryan Freel before retiring Ken Griffey Jr. on a ground ball to second base. Griffey went 0-for-3 with two walks and is homerless in 46 at-bats this year. His previous high at the start of the season was 44 in 1991.
"I was hoping for his first one right there," said Cincinnati manager Dave Miley, who watched his team continue to struggle with runners in scoring position. The Reds were 0-for-7, and are hitting .096 (5-for-52) with runners in scoring position in their seven losses. They are hitting .349 (22-for-63) with runners in scoring position in their eight wins.
"It was just one of those days," Griffey said. "We couldn't get the big hit."
The start of the game was delayed 12 minutes by rain and play started under cloudy skies with a temperature of 52 degrees. Milton (2-2) struggled with the weather, giving up three runs and five hits in five innings.
"It was tough to get a feel out there," he said. "I tried everything. I licked my fingers and blew on my hand, but I couldn't spot the ball. When you don't have velocity and you can't spot the ball, that's a deadly combination. It just felt like I was throwing a cue ball. Their guy did a better job of pitching in the elements.
Wily Mo Pena put Cincinnati ahead with an RBI double in the first, extending his hitting streak to a career-best six games.
Pittsburgh, just 5-11 this year, went ahead for good in the third when Matt Lawton was hit by a pitch, Bay doubled off the right-field wall, Craig Wilson hit an RBI single and Ty Wigginton had a run-scoring grounder.
A run-scoring wild pitch after Freel's leadoff double in the bottom half pulled Cincinnati to 3-2. David Ross drove in a run with a squeeze bunt in the fifth after Adam Dunn dropped Freddy Sanchez's fly ball to left for a three-base error.
"We did a good job of taking advantage of their mistakes," Bay said. "We only had six hits, but we've had games where we had 13 and didn't score enough runs. It was good to finally get a lead and hold on to it."
- Lawton did not lead off for the first time this season. He extended his streak of consecutive games reaching base to 12 when he was hit by a pitch.

- Slumping Pirates SS Jack Wilson batted leadoff for the first time this season, but went 0-for-4 to extend his hitless streak to 19 at-bats.
