UC Berkeley Students Tell It Like It Is
Don't get caught wearing red (Stanford's color) the week of the Big Game, or you might get pointed out on campus, told by roaming Rally Committee members and athletes to "take off that red," and hassled until you do.

It's good to know things like this before you have to learn the hard way...and College Prowler can help you out with insider tips like this one! The College Prowler guidebook to UC Berkeley lets you in on everything the students think you need to know about the school...not the least of which is what they think of the academics:

"Berkeley is consistently ranked as the number one public University in the United States for several reasons, but perhaps the most dominant one is its challenging academic atmosphere. The intense learning environment in some classes can lead to a high level of anxiety and distrust among students. The massive number of classes and majors may leave students a bit confused, but these cases are exceptions, not the rule."

As a result of widespread financial pressures, U.S. research universities increasingly stress the pursuit of funding beyond that available from government grants and contracts. Concomitantly, recent legal changes have encouraged universities to develop closer ties to the private business sector. This book represents the most thorough review ever undertaken of a major collaboration between industry and academe. A professional evaluation team obtained authorization for unprecedented access to those associated with the landmark $25 million contract entered into by the Plant and Microbial Biology Department at the University of California, Berkeley, and the Novartis Agricultural Discovery Institute, a subsidiary of Novartis, an international pharmaceutical and agribusiness conglomerate. This model study presents the inside story of the partnership itself, places it in the context of contemporary university-industry relationships, and provides a larger theoretical framework for evaluating such collaborations in the future.

The UC-321 provides ultra precise weight results in your home. These scales can measure to the tenth of a pound. Even the slightest increase or decrease in weight from an object like a cup of coffee or glass of water registers on this scale. This benefits more than just people who are dieting. The scale is extremely useful for diabetics and athletes who need to closely monitor and control their body weight within a certain range. In addition, parents can easily measure the weight of their infants with a function that subtracts the weight of the adult when holding the child. The UC-321 contains our latest technology in a stylish and low profile body and is one of the thinnest and lightest personal scales you can buy. Measuring less than 1.5" thick, this scale is easy to step on and store. This new scale is not just more precise, but is also more functional than conventional scales. You can set a target weight and it will tell you the difference between your actual and target weights. Additionally, you can store up to 31 readings in memory and recall the stored values to review weight history. This personal scale also calculates a persons Body Mass Index. Body Mass Index takes into consideration an adult's weight-to-height ratio to determine if he or she is overweight.

The Wii Remote Controller makes gaming as accessible to people of all ages and all abilities. Nintendo fused the familiarity of a remote control with the sophistication of motion-sensing technology -- creating a multifunctional device limited only by the imagination. In a tennis game, it serves as your racket you swing with your arm. In a driving game, it serves as your steering wheel. For first-person shooters, the remote acts as your weapon that you point at an enemy. The list of potential uses goes on and on.

To make gaming as accessible to people of all ages and all abilities, Nintendo wanted to create a controller that was as inviting as it was sophisticated- the result is the Wii Remote. Nintendo fused the global familiarity of a remote control with the sophistication of motion-sensing technology to come up with an input device that differentiates the Wii from any other console that has come before it.

Revolutionary control
Sporting the dimensions of a small traditional remote control, the wireless Wii Remote is a multifunctional device that is limited only by the game designer's imagination. The magic of the Wii Remote's design lies within; acellerometers inside the controller body measure movement in all directions and at all speeds. In a tennis game, it serves as your racket as you swing your arm for a long forehand or a quick and hard backhand. In a 4x4 driving game it serves as a steering wheel, allowing you to swerve to avoid obstacles or pickup power-ups. In first-person shooters, the Wii Remote acts as a firearm that you can point directly at an on-screen enemy. The list of potential uses is enormous, and the light weight of the Wii Remote allows gamers to play for hours without feeling fatigued.

The Wii Remote boasts impressive technology for such a compact package.

As comfortable as it is functional

The Wii Remote is equally comfortable in right and left hands and houses just the right number of buttons for gaming- not so many that new players will get confused, but enough so that Wii games don't feel constrained. On the face of the remote are the D (or "plus") pad, a large "A" button which is used for major on-screen actions, and two small options buttons. Between the game buttons are a plus and minus buttons (which often act as "forwards" and "back"), as well as a "Home" button to engage the Wii home screen to change settings or check remote battery levels. On the back side of the controller is a trigger-like "B" button, perfect for timing releases of a bowling roll in Wii Sports.

Thankfully, battery life is excellent with the two included AA batteries, just as with the previous generation of Nintendo wireless controllers.

Immersive intelligence

Along the bottom of the Wii Remote, four blue LED lights indicate which player position the remote is currently set to. The controller automatically connects to the Wii console via Bluetooth wireless technology. Below the LEDs, an expansion port lets you connect a number of devices including the Nunchuck and Classic controllers for Virtual Console gaming (Virtual Console games and controller accessories sold separately). Other features of the Wii Remote include adjustable rumble force-feedback and a reinforced wrist strap to ensure safe use. A speaker inside the remote gives the player feedback about the strength of swings or the accuracy of their moves- such as realistic tennis noises as the "racket" connects with the ball in Wii Sports. Overall, the physical design of the remote is extremely sturdy and of very high quality, ensuring countless hours of Wii gaming fun!
