The Battle of the Beanfield was not the end of grassroots dissent in the UK – although it gutted the travellers' movement – as a new "threat" emerged just a few years later, when the acid house scene, with its giant warehouse raves and outdoor parties, once more threw the government – and the tabloids – into an authoritarian frenzy. As with Stonehenge, the catalyst for a further assault on civil liberties was another large free festival, at Castlemorton common in Gloucestershire, on the May bank holiday weekend in 1992.
The legislation that followed – the 1994 Criminal Justice Act – not only repealed the 1968 Caravans Sites Act, criminalising the entire way of life of gypsies and travellers by removing the obligation on local authorities to provide sites for gypsies, but also amended the Public Order Act by introducing the concept of "trespassory assembly." This enabled the police to ban groups of 20 or more people meeting in a particular area if they feared "serious disruption to the life of the community," even if the meeting was non-obstructive and non-violent, and the act also introduced "aggravated trespass," which finally transformed trespass from a civil to a criminal concern.
Both had disturbing ramifications for almost all kinds of protests and alternative gatherings, and were clearly ramped up after the government failed to secure convictions after the Battle of the Beanfield using an ancient charge of "unlawful assembly." Moreover, as protestors have been discovering in the years since the passing of the Criminal Justice Act, the groundwork laid by the Public Order Act and the Criminal Justice Act provided the Labour government, which has passed more legislation directed at civil liberties than any previous government, to start from a presumption that there were few, if any instances when a peaceful protest by just two people could not be suppressed.
Back in 1997, some of us had a quaint notion that the government would repeal the excesses of the Criminal Justice Act; instead, we are living with three other changes enacted by the Act that still have resonance today: the police's right to take DNA samples from those arrested, increased "stop and search" powers, and amendments to the right to silence of an accused person, allowing inferences to be drawn from their silence. We have an exclusion zone around parliament, in which a single non-violent protestor can be arrested, anti-terror legislation used to stifle dissent, and, as we saw at the G20 protests in April, policemen once more hiding their identification numbers – as they did at the Battle of the Beanfield – to enable them to assault civilians (or worse) with impunity.

Que je ne sçay bonnement que j’en face.
Et je n’ay pas de ce faire pouoir.
Faitez de moy tout ce qu’il vous plaira.
Et autre fois plus chault que ung tison.
Trestous lez biens que jamais homme aura.
Vers vous, comme Danger, qui me menasse.
Qui mainte fois vo doulceur ditte m’a.
C’est quanque j’ay de bien, a dire voir.
Pour vostre amour, quant donnee me sera.
Je ne le dy que pour ramentevoir.
That I don’t really know what to do.
And I don’t have the power to do so.
Do with me anything you please.
And another time hotter than a burning log.
All the rewards that a man will ever have.
Around you, such as Danger, who threatens me.
Who has told me many times of your gentleness.
That’s all the reward I have, to tell the truth.
Because of your love, when it is given to me.
I don’t say so except as a reminder.
Down seven entering the final minute of Friday's Coca-Cola Classic semifinals, the Northside Grizzlies seemed to have pulled off an improbable comeback.
But Bryant had the final say in the matter.
Khalen Robinson's 3-point basket from the right wing with no time remaining lifted the Hornets to a wild 50-48 win against the Grizzlies at the Stubblefield Center.
"We didn't want him to shoot the basketball, we just left him wide open," Northside coach Eric Burnett said. "It was a good comeback by our kids, we didn't quit, we just came back and made some big plays and gave ourselves a chance to win.
"But we have got to learn to play a whole complete game; we're not playing a complete game, we're showing spurts throughout the whole game instead of being able to put it all together and at this time of the year, we need to be putting a whole game together so we've just got to keep working."
With more than five minutes left, Northside (8-5) trailed by nine, 43-34. Moments later, the Grizzlies' junior center, Jaylin Williams, picked up his fifth foul.
Bryant still held a solid lead, up 47-40 going into the final minute. But that's when things really became interesting.
Northside's Anthony Travis hit a put-back shot, and the Grizzlies forced a turnover. That set up a 3-pointer from Semonte Henderson with 34 seconds left, making it a one-possession game, 47-45.
The Grizzlies then forced a turnover in the backcourt. Braylin McKinley drew a foul with 24.9 seconds left, sending him to the line for two free throws.
McKinley missed the first but made the second, cutting the Hornets' lead to one point. Northside immediately got the ball right back by forcing yet another turnover.
The Grizzlies worked the ball for a shot, which was off-target. But McKinley was in position right near the basket to tip the ball back through, putting Northside up by one, 48-47, with nine seconds left.
Bryant then advanced down the court with time running out. At the last possible instant, Robinson received a pass and let a shot fly right as the buzzer sounded.
The ball hit nothing but net as the Hornets swarmed Robinson.
Bryant will move on to the Coca-Cola Classic championship game, set for 6 p.m. Saturday, while the Grizzlies drop into Saturday's third-place game, set for 4:20 p.m.
Rodney Lambert led Bryant with 18 points and also hit three 3's. Treylon Payne added 16 points, making two 3's.
Javion Releford had 12 points to lead the Grizzlies, and also hit two 3's. Williams and McKinley combined for 17 points and 15 rebounds.
BOYS — The Tigers shot 50 percent from the field in both halves as they prevailed Friday in the consolation round of the Coca-Cola Classic.
Charleston converted 14-of-28 field goals in the opening half and then made 13-of-26 attempts in the second half, finishing with exactly 50 percent (27-of-54). The Tigers also made 50 percent of their 3-point attempts (10-of-20) while hitting 82 percent of their foul shots (27-of-33).
Brayden Ross finished with 23 points and grabbed 13 rebounds. He also hit three 3's.
Also for Charleston, Blaine Rowland had 22 points, made five 3's and went 7-of-8 from the line, and Jacob Green finished with 21 points, going 9-of-10 from the line, while grabbing nine rebounds.
Charleston will face J.A. Fair in the fifth-place game at 2:40 p.m. Saturday.
BOYS — Jacori Cranford led three War Eagles in double figures with 14 points in Friday's consolation-round win.
Erlon Boose added 13 points and Kamal Polite 12 for Fair.
For the Pointers, who play Pleasant Grove at 1 p.m. Saturday for seventh place, Gary Phillips and Logan Brothers had 17 and 13 points, respectively.
The Nord laboratory studies how the genome encodes brain development and function, with a particular interest in understanding the genetic basis of neurological disorders.
There is no known specific genetic cause for most cases of autism, but many different genes have been linked to the disorder. In rare, specific cases of people with ASD, one copy of a gene called CHD8 is mutated and loses function. The CHD8 gene encodes a protein responsible for packaging DNA in cells throughout the body. Packaging of DNA controls how genes are turned on and off in cells during development.
Because mice and humans share on average 85 percent of similarly coded genes, mice can be used as a model to study how genetic mutations impact brain development. Changes in mouse DNA mimic changes in human DNA and vice-versa. In addition, mice exhibit behaviors that can be used as models for exploring human behavior.
Nord’s laboratory at UC Davis and his collaborators have been working to characterize changes in brain development and behavior of mice carrying a mutated copy of CHD8.
By inducing mutation of the CHD8 gene in mice and studying their brain development, Nord and his team have established that the mice experience cognitive impairment and have increased brain volume. Both conditions are also present in individuals with a mutated CHD8 gene.
Analysis of data from mouse brains reveals that CHD8 gene expression peaks during the early stages of brain development. Mutations in CHD8 lead to excessive production of dividing cells in the brain, as well as megalencephaly, an enlarged brain condition common in individuals with ASD. These findings suggest the developmental causes of increased brain size.
More surprisingly, Nord also discovered that the pathological changes in gene expression in the brains of mice with a mutated CHD8 continued through the lifetime of the mice. Genes involved in critical biological processes like synapse function were impacted by the CHD8 mutation. This suggests that CHD8 plays a role in brain function throughout life and may affect more than early brain development in autistic individuals.
While Nord’s research centers on severe ASD conditions, the lessons learned may eventually help explain many cases along the autism spectrum.
Nord’s work bridges disciplines and has incorporated diverse collaborators. The genetic mouse model was developed at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory using CRISPR editing technology, and co-authors Jacqueline Crawley and Jill Silverman of the UC Davis MIND Institute evaluated mouse behavior to characterize social interactions and cognitive impairments.
Nord also partnered with co-author Konstantinos Zarbalis of the Institute for Pediatric Regenerative Medicine at UC Davis to examine changes in cell proliferation in the brains of mice with the CHD8 mutation, and with Jason Lerch from the Mouse Imaging Centre at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Canada, to conduct magnetic resonance imaging on mouse brains.
In the future, Nord hopes to identify how CHD8 packages DNA in neural cells and to determine the specific impacts to early brain development and synaptic function. Nord hopes that deep exploration of CHD8 mutations will ultimately yield greater knowledge of the general factors contributing to ASD and intellectual disability.

The Noctua NH-L9i certainly performs well for its size. This cooler is what you would call a niche product, but it’s one that’s needed in that there aren’t many high quality CPU Coolers for small systems. Noctua has made a cooler that will fit just fine in even the smallest SFF or HTPC systems, it’s one that cools well yet won’t add any additional noise to your system.
Stanford researchers explore reducing greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants in the transport sector by improving the existing transportation system and creating a low-carbon system for the future. Engineers are developing incentive mechanisms and societal networks to reduce congestion-related pollution and promote alternatives to driving. Other projects are exploring dashboard mileage gauges and other behavior modification techniques, providing cost information related to fuel efficiency and its impact on car purchases. Stanford engineers are developing a wide rage of other energy-saving technologies, from making fuel combustion in engines more efficient by capturing waste heat, to wirelessly charging electric vehicles as they drive down the highway, to enabling electric vehicle batteries to power the grid when needed.

AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) - A Maine man has admitted he threatened to shoot his neighbors with a shotgun as they tried to bring him a plate of food.
Bruce Roy was ordered to serve four months behind bars with the rest of the three-year term for criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon suspended. The Kennebec Journal reports he was also sentenced to two years' probation during the Tuesday hearing in Augusta.
Police say Roy rejected a meal from two neighbors before threatening to shoot them with a loaded shotgun.
Police say the victim and a neighboring woman were trying to bring food to Roy because he had mentioned not eating.
During Roy's probation, he is prohibited from possessing firearms and must undergo a psychological evaluation and counseling.
Marketing Manager Annie Amies said Vintage Faire Mall is following suit this year. For the past few years, the mall has hosted a “midnight madness” event that has attracted hundreds of shoppers, but now owner Macerich is upping the ante.
“We’re opening at 6 p.m.,” Amies said. Management told the individual stores it’s up to them whether they want to open on Thanksgiving, but Amies said it’s likely they will.
A few miles to the south, the manager of the Merced Mall said although the anchor stores might open that Thursday, the rest of the mall is sticking to 6 a.m. Friday.
And that’s a growing sentiment among some retailers. Several companies are publicizing their decision to remain closed on Thanksgiving, leading to what Time magazine referred to as “retail shaming.” That’s in response to backlash from some customers in recent years.
Some have started to petition stores such as Target and Walmart, asking them to refrain from opening on Thanksgiving so their employees can celebrate the holiday with their families.
Those petitions haven’t gotten very far. Many Walmarts are open for 24 hours most days of the year, excluding Christmas itself. And while Target has not announced its Black Friday plans this year, I suspect it, too, will open its doors earlier than 2013’s 8 p.m.
I can see both sides of the argument. Those who argue that the holidays have become too commercial have a point. But these are businesses, and the holiday season is the most crucial time of the year for them. It makes sense that they will take nearly any step to get the jump on their competitors, and the jobs they provide are important to the economy.
Locally, Crescent Work and Outdoor also opens on Thanksgiving. But that came about by accident. Owner Craig Stott told me that several years ago, he was at the downtown Modesto store, doing some paperwork while the turkey cooked at home, when a customer stopped by to buy something. He opened up, and ever since the store has opened for a few hours Thanksgiving morning.
I wonder why there isn’t such a backlash for other holidays. You could argue that Independence Day is as important a holiday to this country as Thanksgiving, but I haven’t heard of any outcry for retail businesses to close that day. And obviously, there are any number of professions – medicine, public safety, journalism (ahem) – that require working holidays.
For the record, the most unpleasant holiday shift I ever worked was in a fireworks booth on the Fourth of July some years back. The job actually was great fun, but the pay wasn’t great – I was a volunteer – and a tin box on hot asphalt isn’t the nicest place to be when it’s 104 degrees outside.
I have heard several positive reviews of Pastas Pronto, which opened almost exactly two years ago on H Street. I haven’t managed to make it in there yet, despite the fact it’s just down the road from The Modesto Bee. But business must be good, because the owners are expanding.
A reader wrote in this week to ask when the new Pastas Pronto at Coffee Road and East Rumble Road will open. The answer, it turns out, is, uh, pronto. According to the restaurant’s Facebook page, the owners hope to be open by the end of the month.
