UC DAVIS NOVEMBER 18, 2011 “PEPPER SPRAY INCIDENT” TASK FORCE REPORT MARCH 2012
Introduction Our overriding conclusion can be stated briefly and explicitly. The pepper spraying incident that took place on November 18, 2011 should and could have been prevented. On November 18, 2011, University of California, Davis, police officers used pepper spray on students sitting in a line in the midst of a protest and “occupation” on the campus quad. Viral images of the incident triggered immediate and widespread condemnation of the police action. To assist the Task Force with fact finding and the identification of best practices in policing, the University engaged Kroll, Inc., an internat ionally known risk management firm. Kroll completed the final draft of its report on Feb. 22, 2012 (the “Kroll Report”). The Kroll Report describes at length the events leading up to this incident. In brief, at approximately 3:00 p.m. on Thursday, November 17, 2011, tents were erected on the Quad at the Davis campus. The Administration decided to remove the tents, instructing police to do so at 3:00 p.m. on Friday, November 18, 2011. While attempting to remove tents, the police arrested several individuals. Subsequently, in the midst of a growing group of people, the police officers employed pepper spray to remove several students linking arms in a line across a walkway in the Quad.

Peter Glaser: "Auf ewig Dein" - bis übermorgen
Im Internet-Zeitalter werden Informationen, Marken und auch menschliche Beziehungen immer toleranter, man könnte auch sagen: opportunistischer. Nichts will sich mehr festlegen – Undo forever.
Forscher an der Universität Cambridge haben eine Methode entwickelt, mit der sich Papier, das mit einem Laserdrucker bedruckt wurde, wieder „entdrucken“ läßt. Das Verfahren, das mit verschiedenen Arten von Lasern funktioniert, soll die Wiederverwendung des Papiers ermöglichen. Man muß es dazu nicht erst wegwerfen und schreddern. Die klimaschädlichen Emissionen der Recycling-Industrie ließen sich durch das Entdrucken um die Hälfte reduzieren.
