[Legends of Lanasia] Character Creation
December 19, 2010, 06:26:30 PM »
Character Creation
1. Come up with a basic character concept, what is the character you will play like?
2. Name - What is your character�s name?
3. Origin - What Nation was your character raised in?
4. Talent - What is your character�s special Talent?
5. Talent Level - What level is that Talent at? Choose between 1 and 6. It us used to determine the level of effectiveness for your character�s Talent, as well as some other things (e.g., Friends, Enemies, Luck, Reputation and Wealth).
6. Set Friends, Enemies, Luck, Reputation and Wealth to one.
7. Destiny Points - Subtract your Character�s Talent Level from seven, these are your character�s Destiny Points. This will also determine how many skills they will start with.
8. Background Points - Multiply your character�s Talent Points by three. After that is done, subtract one. That number is how many Background points your character has.
9. Childhood - Choose a background, select a skill from each Aspect and spend Background Points to start with more Friends if you like.
10. Early Schooling - Choose a background, select your Destiny in Skills and spend Background Points to start with more Enemies.
11. Professional Training - Choose a background, select your Destiny in Skills and spend Background Points to start with more Wealth.
12. Experience - Choose a background, select your Destiny in Skills and spend Background Points to start with more Reputation.
13. Determine Luck - However many Background Points you have remaining, these are your Luck Points. If you have more than 6 left, the excess points add to the number of Enemies you have.
14. Determine if your Reputation is positive or Negative.
15. Select Friends and Enemies. Each Friend and Enemy must have a Name (it can be that of an NPC introduced by the GM, a PC or you can use that slot to introduce a new character to the setting) and an origin (why are they your friends or enemies?).
16. If none of the PCs are one of your Friends, create another type of relationship with a PC.
17. Describe their personality
18. Describe their Motivation
19. Describe their Goal
20. You are done!
What do you think? will this create interesting characters?

In my opinion, having pre-made plot points (e.g. picking friends and enemies, etc.) is a good idea. Perhaps it may help stave off the obligatory tavern scene where the game master forces you into some contrived quest as a mysterious stranger approaches you.

Hi Dave,
The question is whether we are engaged in portraiture or in role-playing. If it's the latter, then character creation is best understood as establishing a particular starting point for
. The way such change occurs is (i) for the character to be involved in fictional situations and (ii) as a consequence, for numbers and terms to be affected either temporarily or permanently.
"System is a character sheet's way of making another character sheet."
Therefore a character sheet is only a viable role-playing object or tool insofar as it
a character into fictional situations and as it
as a consequence of those situations. I should clarify that by "positioning" I do not mean that the sheet itself provides the specific problems and situations; it might, for some games, but in others, it only provides key information that helps someone else construct situations. Either way is OK, as long as the content is there.
So when I see a list like this, I find myself contrasting two characters I've played in the past: Kakita Gan, my Crane Clan bushi character in Legend of the Five Rings; and Brother Newton in Dogs in the Vineyard.
The character creation rules in L5R include a list of twenty qualitative questions about the character which are, with the possible exception of the last one, quite ambiguous regarding what they're for. They could either be a means for further refining, shading, and perfecting the portrait of one's character; or for highlighting points of critical instability in the character's social circumstances and psychology. The former is probably most consistent with the rest of the text in the book, especially certain mechanics concerning Honor. Most importantly, there is absolutely nothing in the mechanics or even qualitative processes of play which harks back to these twenty questions, once you've started play.
The character creation rules in Dogs in the Vineyard mainly produce a substantial list of Traits, or short descriptive bits with various dice appended to them. There is no ambiguity about what they are for - they show the character's strengths and weaknesses, both of which can make him or her more effective in conflicts. So a "weakness" in Dogs is not so much about being less effective, but being able to be effective even though one is being (e.g.) vicious, selfish, resentful, or similar. And you know what - the kicker is that the Traits are always on the block via the Fallout follow-up to resolving conflicts. In fact, the last act of character creation is to run such a conflict, so the character is already "running" before the formal scenario starts. The trait list at the start is going to look a lot different after a session or two, and especially after a whole town scenario.
Let me know if this contrast is making sense to you. It strikes me that you have put a lot of work into permitting me, as a player, to paint a portrait. But a portrait isn't a viable starting point for role-playing. It is also possible that I don't know the system well enough to see how certain things on your list are in fact crying out for inclusion in situations and ripe for change. If that's the case, then describe those things in action for me.
Best, Ron

I do see where you are coming from.
There are a couple of handles that players can use to create role playing situations:
1) Friends an enemies
2) Reputation (and the number that goes with it) can be used to measure how well known your character is an if they are known to be selfish or selfless.
3) Goal
4) Also, in steps 9, 10, 11 and 12, the players are describing the environment that the character lived in during that period of their life (actually selecting from a list, helping the players to build a mutual understanding of the setting). This both creates an identity for the character to latch on to, but also lays potential seeds for further situations.
The rest of the steps are designed to build the numbers you use to resolve conflicts. For instance the number of skills in one pool determines the level of that pool (e.g., 5 skills equals a 5 in that aspect).
I don't know. These are not the strongest tools for creating situation or conflict, but I have used them successfully in the past and hope to show other players how cool they can be. And I have supplemented that by giving the PCs Destiny Points. These can be used by the players to create a new situation (from whole cloth if need be).
Also, I have played a lot of Dogs and have an idea for a ditv-style trait system, but it is a supers game and is on the back burner right now.

Hi again Dave,
I may have missed it in a previous post, but what is the thing that troubles the setting your game is in? Or troubles, if there are multiple ones?
Could you have a step where the player describe their character physically in the middle of those world troubles in some way or another?

Thanks again for checking this out, I appreciate it.
Well, that is really what Goal is for. I guess in the game text, I will use that to describe it better. But that is the idea, Goal means what about the setting does your character want to change?
Does that make sense?
Did you have an alternative approach?

For some reason 'goal' just doesn't ping me? To me the semantics of it seem to validly include starting the character off in play absolutely nowhere near the world troubles, even if his goal is something to do with them. Alot of goals are met not by standing in the middle of them - yet standing in the middle of them makes for interesting play. Maybe the PC will get to those troubles eventually - but after how many hours of gameplaying through nothing much exciting in regards to his goal?
My alternate approach is like I wrote - the player describes their character starting play physically in the midst of those world troubles, in some way invented by the player.
I mean, your setting has it's world troubles - do you want the characters to engage that world trouble? I'll grant what I'm describing is a bit like porn, it skips foreplay and gets straight to it. But on the other hand it does get right to it.
How do you imagine play going? Have you tried writing up a quick mock up of how you'd imagine a session starting and going?

Your use of a character goal statement is very similar to the approach taken by Hero Wars, later HeroQuest. That feature was kind of a make-or-break for a given game, at least in terms of thematic punch that other parts of its text encouraged. If a group bought into the character goals as (i) compelling and (ii) potentially problematic, then they really helped play flow and develop. If, on the other hand, they thought of character goals more-or-less like they thought of character hats, then play fragmented, at least in terms of thematic punch, and shifted very drastically to a setting-based travelogue or color-fest.
I think it's time to move away from personal reactions in this thread. "I like it," It pings me," et cetera, is not really going to help you much. I'm hoping that we can take it to a more comparative level as I tried to do in this thread.
More generally, though, I think it's time for you to playtest it and get an idea of how you phrase your procedures to other people, in practice. At this point, we can speculate all we want about what will or won't work, and for whom, but the fact is that you are going to have to shift into a practical and judgmental mode toward the game itself.
Best, Ron

There is some truth to that.
As an aside, Callan, your comments have sparked me to add a step before step one that includes the GM working with the players to select a trouble from the setting that they all want to play with.
And yes, I am working towards getting a playtest draft and getting it in front of players. Frankly, I have to make a few more threads before it can be playtested.

Ministry for Foreign Affairs or Finland press release 28 September 2017
Finland will participate in the NATO Crisis Management Exercise 2017 (CMX17) between 4 and 11 October as a NATO partner country. CMX is NATO's regular consultation and decision-making exercise. It is based on a fictitious scenario and it doesn't involve any deployed forces. Finland has participated since 1998, every time that the exercise has been available for partner countries. In 2017, Finland will participate in the exercise for the 9th time.
In addition to NATO members, participants this year include Finland, Sweden and the European Union. Apart from the NATO Headquarters and Strategic Commands, CMX17 will involve civilian and military staffs from missions to NATO in allied and partner capitals. Participants from Finland include the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Defence, the Defence Command Finland and the Mission of Finland to NATO in Brussels. The exercise supports the cooperation Finland and Sweden conduct with NATO.

FRS History 1980-1989
In Memory of Tom Taylor/ E.M.R.
Article Index
A Free Radio station, starting in 1976, surviving the 20th century and still being active in 2017, thát is unique. It says it all about the person behind the station I'm referring at: Tom Taylor. A passionate Free Radio enthusiast whose brainchild European Music Radio served so many listeners with 'Sunday entertainment' on short wave. For many older SW listeners the name Barry Stephens will perhaps sound more familiar.
With great sadness I was informed about Tom passing away at the age of 63 on Monday January 22nd. As a long time radio friend I feel the need to share some of my personal memories…in Memory of Tom Taylor and E.M.R.
When I first started having interest in short wave Free Radio it was 1978. After purchasing my first communications receiver, E.M.R. was one of the very first SW pirates I monitored. My first E.M.R. QSL (as far as I know) dates back to November 19th 1978.
In those days E.M.R was pure magic for me…the station provided good & clear reception and had a varied quite unique programme schedule including former R.N.I.'s World Service presenter AJ Beirens (Carte Blanche & E.M.R. DX), an International Service and Roger Tate who did a great job in the Mail Box programme. Looking into my collection of E.M.R memorabilia- letters, stickers, info sheets including the well known E.M.R. sticker 'Broadcasting from Europe to Europe'- brings back fond memories. Following a number of letter exchanges, Tom asked me to do the Dutch service on E.M.R. as part of the International Service early 1979. Shortly after it was the first time I visited Tom in London. We would meet up on Liverpool Street Station. Tom drove me to his home at 32 Briscoe Road, Colliers Wood, SW London where he lived with his parents, both being very sweet and caring, truly supporting Tom in running E.M.R. even though they knew it was illegal. From that moment onwards Tom and I developed a close friendship with our mutual interest in SW Free Radio. Tom happened to be a calm, very friendly and helpful person with much passion for Free Radio on SW by means of E.M.R., the station he founded in 1976. He showed me interesting places like the Radio Jackie transmitting location, the station he once worked for in the very early 1970s. In his three wheeler Reliant Robin we went to shops on Tottenham Court Road where you could buy all sort of spare parts for building transmitters. And instead of writing letters Tom introduced the 'audio letter' which was completely new to me. A very practical way in exchanging lots of information.
Mid 1979 I intended to start my own SW station: Free Radio Service Holland. Without Tom's indespensible help, FRSH would have never ever made it on the airwaves. He was the one teaching me how to run a SW Free Radio station giving all sorts of practical tips.

316kilo necesitaba un nuevo diseño de otro y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 25 diseños de 8 diseñadores freelance.
Replica Armory (HistoricReplicaGuns.com)
New online store that specializes in non-firing replica guns, blank-firing guns, prop guns, theatrical guns, gun decor, etc.. for collectors, history enthusiasts, museums, reenactors, and for movie sets. Replica guns from colonial America, the Civil War, the Pirate wars, the Old West, the World Wars, and up to modern day conflicts. Also Civil War and pirate sword replicas. Basically armaments from American history.
Desired audience is mostly male.. history buffs, gun enthusiasts, theater productions, museums, living history museums and reenactors. These replica guns can also be considered to be very high quality toy guns, so younger boys would also be a part of the market. The target audience might be eccentric in some cases.
Header size needs to be 960x112.
Current header is at HistoricReplicaGuns.com and colors need to match the existing design of the website. (brown and navy). "To Arms!" text needs to be removed.
UPDATE: please see the PSD file I just uploaded. This is the original file. We changed our minds and want to keep the brown wood background, the "Online Help" graphic, and the phone# section on the right. Please add "No Restocking Fees" above this phone section. Need to have "To Arms!" removed and put "Replica Armory", on the left. Similar to how design #7 is. Have decided to delete the soldier images. Would like to have stars accent the Replica Armory (see stars in replicaarmory.jpg file)... Existing gun images may or may not be kept...depending how it looks... Color of the "Replica Armory" text: CCC1AB. Also, need the "Replica Armory" font to match the original "To Arms!" font. It is something similar to Bootstrap or Sutro font, but I haven't found the exact match. Also please add the drop shadowing on the texts,- similar to the original header. And keep the texturing on the "Online Help" graphic.
I am also requesting the original files when the project is complete.

Donor aortic graft improves reconstruction after partial laryngectomy
Novel grafts reduces need for permanent tracheotomy, maintain voice and swallowing function
Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) surgeons have developed a new technique for reconstructing the larynx after surgery for advanced cancer. In the May Annals of Otology, Rhinology and Laryngology, they describe how this approach – which uses cryopreserved aortas from deceased donors to replace removed larynx tissue – allowed patients to avoid a permanent tracheotomy and maintain voice and swallowing function with no need for immunosuppressive medications. The pioneering surgery was a collaborative effort between Steven Zeitels, MD, director of the MGH Center for Laryngeal Surgery, and John Wain, MD, surgical director of the MGH Lung Transplantation Service.
"Without this new reconstructive technique, most of these patients would have required a total laryngectomy," says Zeitels, corresponding author of the report. "I don't believe anything like this has been achieved before – especially for larynx cancer reconstruction in patients whose tumors recurred after radiotherapy."
Although small laryngeal tumors can be successfully removed through minimally invasive laser surgery or treated with radiation, advanced tumors require more invasive procedures to remove the affected area, especially when chemotherapy and radiation have failed as initial treatment. In these situations, problems with the healing of tissues previously exposed to radiation and the lack of reliable reconstructive techniques have meant that a majority of patients having partial laryngectomy still needed a permanent tracheotomy – an opening through the neck and into the trachea – resulting in substantial voice and swallowing dysfunction. Since the quality of life would probably be better with removal of the entire larynx, patients and their surgeons often chose a total laryngectomy.
To address the reconstructive limitations of partial laryngectomy, Zeitels and Wain developed an approach using the body's largest blood vessel, the aorta, to reconstruct the larynx. The MGH surgeons first used a previously frozen aortic graft for reconstruction after partial laryngectomy for recurrent cancer in 2009. Over the next two years, they performed the procedure on 15 patients, 8 of whom had previously received radiation therapy. All of these procedures were performed in one operation, combining both the tumor removal and reconstruction at the same time, and no immunosuppressive medications were needed.
Of that initial group of patients, all were able to have their postoperative tracheotomy tubes removed and resume breathing normally. All resumed speaking without the need for assistive devices, although their vocal quality depended on how much tissue had been removed, and all but one recovered and maintained swallowing function. Two patients had recurrence of their advanced tumors that required subsequent total laryngectomy. No stents were needed to keep patients' airways open, unlike in pilot trials using similar aortic grafts to reconstruct the trachea, which have had limited success.
"The shape of the aorta, which approximates that of the removed laryngeal tissue, and its ability to serve as a surface for healing within the airway are unique characteristics of these grafts that other forms of reconstruction do not provide," says Wain.
Zeitels adds, "The success of this procedure is remarkable, since the aortic tissue has held up extremely well against the stresses of a non-sterile environment, exposure to refluxing stomach fluids and the mechanical forces of swallowing and coughing. Given the success in this extremely challenging surgical scenario, it's likely that there will be many other uses for cryopreserved vascular grafts as supportive structures and tissue patches for surgery in other parts of the body."
Zeitels is the Eugene B. Casey Professor of Laryngeal Surgery, and Wain is an assistant professor of Surgery at Harvard Medical School. The study was supported, in part, by grants from the Voice Health Institute, the V Foundation and the Eugene B. Casey Foundation.
Massachusetts General Hospital, founded in 1811, is the original and largest teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School. The MGH conducts the largest hospital-based research program in the United States, with an annual research budget of more than $750 million and major research centers in AIDS, cardiovascular research, cancer, computational and integrative biology, cutaneous biology, human genetics, medical imaging, neurodegenerative disorders, regenerative medicine, reproductive biology, systems biology, transplantation biology and photomedicine.

Recall 13V136000
Injury Due to Airbag Deployment
Recall Details
Airbags use a chemical reaction contained in an inflator module to create the pressure necessary to inflate the bags when deployment is required. These vehicles are being recalled because the front passenger airbag inflator may produce excessive internal pressure when deployed. As a result, the inflator module could rupture, causing metal fragments to strike vehicle occupants. Dealers will inspect and replace any defective passenger front airbag inflator modules found.
Our Quick Take
The passenger front airbag inflator could rupture when deployed, allowing metal fragments to strike vehicle occupants and increasing the risk of personal injury.
What Should You Do?
As this writing, Nissan has not released a schedule for owner notification. There are no symptoms related to this recall. if you are not notified in a resionable time and feel you should have been, please contact your local dealer. They may ask for your vehicle identification number (VIN), so please have it handy when you call.

Patric Young is shooting 50 percent from the free-throw line but went 5 for 6 in Sunday's win over Minnesota.
ARLINGTON, Texas — Florida junior center Patric Young had heard every suggestion about how to fix his flawed free-throw shooting.
But Young stuck to the advice of both his dad and Florida coach Billy Donovan, who brought up the power of positive thinking.
"Your brain can't tell the difference between don't miss and miss," Young said. "So if you tell yourself don't — I have so many different things going through my head, don't miss, don't airball, don't shoot it too hard. My brain is telling me to do those things and it was a big reason why I was struggling."
Young responded with a 5-for-6 night from the free-throw line during UF's 78-64 win over Minnesota on Sunday night in the NCAA tournament. Overall, the Gators shot 72 percent from the stripe (22 for 36), their highest percentage since shooting 80 percent at Kentucky on March 9.
For Young, it was a positive step. The bruising 6-foot-9, 247-pounder is still just shooting 50 percent (68 for 135) for the season.
"I felt pretty good because I know a lot of people have been trying to tell me how to fix my shot," Young said. "My shot is fine. It's just, the ball isn't going in. It's just a matter of my confidence, going up there. It felt pretty good knocking down some pretty clutch free throws."
Free-throw shooting has been a season-long struggle for the Gators. But Florida, shooting just 68 percent from the line for the season, delivered some down the stretch against Minnesota.
"Before every free throw we came together," Florida senior guard Kenny Boynton said. "It was just, like, we need two."
The Gators got some contributions from some unlikely sources, including forward Will Yeguete, who went 5 of 9 from the line. Though just 55 percent for the night, Yeguete came up with a pair of clutch free throws after getting fouled on a defensive rebound off a missed free throw from Minnesota center Trevor Mbakwe.
The back-to-back free throws with 6:45 remaining put Florida ahead 62-52, giving the Gators a four-point swing in momentum.
"I was trying to keep my same routine, not trying to think about what was the score or how much time was left on the clock," Yeguete said.
Florida went to the line a season-high 36 times in a tightly called game that ended with both teams whistled for 43 fouls. The clutch free-throw shooting will be important going forward. Florida next plays Florida Gulf Coast in its Sweet 16 matchup at cavernous Cowboys Stadium.
It will be Florida's first game in a domed stadium this season, which could impact perimeter shooting. As a result, the Gators may need to pound the ball inside and get to the free-throw line if outside shots aren't falling early.
Young said he is ready for the challenge of sinking more free throws in another pressure spot.
"It's going to be a process that I'm going to have to deal with for the rest of my career," Young said. "It's a process of continually getting better in every aspect of the game. No one has ever been 100 percent on free throws, so you have to keep working on it."
Not Tired of Texas
Florida players say they aren't tired of Texas, considering staying in the state means the Gators remain alive the NCAA tournament.
Florida made the 3 1/2-hour bus trip from Austin to Arlington on Monday afternoon and will work out at an undisclosed location in the Dallas-Fort Worth area until Friday night's game against Florida Gulf Coast.
"I'm really looking forward to seeing Dallas Stadium, whatever it's called," Young said Sunday night. "Really looking forward to being there, just embracing this whole process and just being with my teammates."

Assumptions are dangerous in genealogy. You may find yourself staring at a piece of information that you brain cannot accept as pertinent, simply because you've assumed something about your ancestor. You dismiss it and think, "that's not my ancestor; I'll keep looking."
I've been working under a few assumptions with regards to the Schmitzer line:
- Chip was completely right.
- Georg only married once.
- Georg and Anna had only the six children that immigrated to the United States with them.
Chip passed away a few years ago. He was my first cousin, once removed, and I met him only once–at my uncle's funeral in 2003. He was, without question, THE Family Historian. He had traced our line back to Germany, and he and his wife visited the village that we call home. He met our dissenters–the Schmitzers that moved to Texas. He wrote (I suspect) the Schmitzer History that the Bavarian Inn uses on its website. He wrote much more, I'm sure. Chip knew this family–of that, I am certain. I absolutely trust the information I've received from his work.
However, just because Chip's work is accurate, doesn't mean it is complete. And I have mistakenly assumed that because it is the former, it must also be the latter. I would have loved the opportunity to search with Chip, to ask questions about how he came to his conclusions, to compare notes and make sense of the mess I'm making!
As for Georg's marriage, I have been searching with the idea that his wife was Anna. Period. Again, this may be true, but may be incomplete. I'm unsure. I'm looking at conflicting pieces of information today, wondering if it's possible that Anna passed away, and Georg remarried. It would make a little more sense in terms of the Schmitzers that I can't seem to connect to our family. (I mean, really–how likely is it that there are two Schmitzer families in Saginaw, and they are not related? Possible, yes, but…I can't believe it is probable. It's not a very common name, even for German families.)
I am also pleasantly surprised to find that Georg and Anna had a daughter after their immigration. Eva Maria Schmitzer was born in 1859 in Michigan, according to an 1870 Census of Frankenmuth.
It requires more digging on my part. It requires making logical conclusions of the information I have. It requires less assumptions.
Goals for today:
- Find Eva Maria Schmitzer.
- Find Anna Barbara's death.

Look beyond the surface in Sunnyvale
Okay, back to properties! There's only so many times we can talk about commuting, or gentrification, or rising rents, or Facebook stock options. Instead, let's have a look at this honey of a house that Burbed reader mtv-renter espied in Sunnyvale! Oops, missing in action on Redfin… hellooooooo, Movoto! Who says it's still Active, even though Redfin says it went Pending Do Not Show ten days ago!
693 W Remington Dr
Sunnyvale, CA 94087
Loan Payment: $3,148/mo
Bedrooms: 3
Bathrooms: 2&1/2
Size: 2,015 sqft
$/sqft: $397/sqft
Type: Single Family House
Year Built: 1966
Lot Size: 6,000
Days on Movoto: 21 days
Neighborhood: Sunnyvale
Status: Active
Look beyond the surface and you will see that this property has a ton of potential. Large deck off kitchen overlooks what can be a lovely backyard. Separate dining and family rooms both with sliding patio doors to the backyard area. Walk to shopping and Las Palmas park * Cumberland Elementary, Sunnyvale Middle schools
But let's hear more from mtv-renter.
I thought this place might be burbed-worthy. I love the Realtor ™ description.
Yup, you definitely have to look beneath the surface – a surface of dust, dirt, grime, and age. Despite all that surface, though, it's a wonderful $800k diamond in the rough on a crappy intersection in a crappy part of Sunnyvale. These days, anything under $1M is a bargain!
Not just a bargain, a ton of potential! Let's examine several pounds of it.
Did we mention this house is on a busy street? So many people will admire your new home every day! We had some follow-up conversation with mtv-renter on the house and hood:
Yeah, you're right, it's not that crappy of a part of sunnyvale. I exaggerate about Sunnyvale because I don't like it much after looking at a lot of houses there; few neighborhoods are walkable to anything but your car, and the downtown area, despite much development, feels kind of dead.
Also, check out the street view image for this house. The realtor used every trick in the book to make the house look like it's a palace on a large lot: wide angle lens and a very low point of view to make the bushes up front seem like they're hiding a large house far in the distance. In reality, that long walkway up to the entry-way is just a crooked asphalt footpath, and your neighbors are close enough to smell them on a hot day, which probably happens a lot given the lack of insulation in these places 🙂

Webinars for Faculty on Copyright
Copyright in the classroom
This quick 15 minuted video is a guide to decision-making as well as an overview of available resources.
Copyright Essentials for Faculty Webinars (password protected)
The Merrill-Cazier Library, with support of the academic deans and RCDE, hosted a three-part webcast on how copyright and fair use apply to university teaching and research. The webcast series, "Copyright Essentials for Faculty" is designed for faculty, instructional support personnel, and other academic administrators who deal with copyright issues in their day-to-day activities. The three 90-minute archived webcasts cover different aspects of copyright pertinent to faculty, such as course packs, author contracts, creative commons, and copyright in the classroom. The three sessions are:
- Copyright for classroom teaching
- Copyright regulation outside the classroom (including course packs)
- Faculty rights under copyright law (including copyright in your own works, contract considerations, and the Google Books project)
The archive for each session is available online at http://library.usu.edu/acimp/. Access is limited to USU students, faculty and staff, therefore you must be connected to the VPN to view these off-campus.

Mirrors in the Kitchen
Do you have a mirror in your kitchen? I always like the look when I see it, and I can think of a few benefits (reflecting light, giving a greater sense of space), but I also see a few problems (keeping it clean, getting freaked out when I see movement across the room only to realize it's my reflection). What do you think? Are you a fan, or is this look not for you?

Did The Entertainment Industry Backdoor In Forcing ISPs To Kick People Offline, While Claiming It Did Not?
from the sneaky,-sneaky dept
So forgive us for not taking some of the comments from the entertainment industry at face value. We've been burned many times before. As we noted in our post about the new "voluntary" agreement between the entertainment industry and top US ISPs, while the report tries to bend over backwards to insist that the "graduated response" plans don't include disconnecting from the internet, this really isn't true. First, it does push ISPs to cut people off from the web, which for most people is their internet access.
But, it gets even more pernicious than that. The EFF is pointing out a questionable bit of the agreement, which suggests the entertainment industry may be knowingly backdooring disconnections into the agreement by misinterpreting a section of the DMCA (which they also helped write):
The materials emphatically state that ISPs are not required to terminate subscriber accounts as a condition of the agreement with the content industry and that the collaboration does not amount to a "three strikes" regime. But the materials also take pains to assert that the DMCA "requires that the ISPs have in place a termination policy for repeat copyright infringers as a condition of availing themselves of the Act's 'safe harbor' provision." Translation: The content industry is staking its position that ISPs that don't terminate subscribers after 5 or 6 alerts will lose their DMCA protection. There are plenty of arguments for why that position is wrong; given that an alert represents nothing more than an allegation untried by a court, we think loss of Internet access would be a draconian measure that Congress did not intend. Nonetheless, it may take an ISP willing to litigate the issue to make the argument.In case it's not clear, the EFF is showing language that clearly suggests the entertainment industry believes that if ISPs don't kick off those accused (not convicted) of repeat infringing, they lose their own safe harbor protections under the DMCA. And, as we've seen with the way DMCA takedowns work, to nearly everyone, the threat of losing safe harbor protections is the equivalent of a requirement. No company wants to increase their liability, and thus, to avoid a potential claim that failing to kick a user off violates the DMCA, there seems like a good chance most of these ISPs will including kicking people offline entirely as an option here.
The obvious retort from the industry will be that this part is no different than what's been said in the past, because the DMCA has been in place for over a decade. However, while it may be true that the DMCA has been in place that long, no copyright holder has tested this theory that not kicking people off violates the DMCA. By putting it in this document, the entertainment industry is effectively putting ISPs on notice: saying that they may now start focusing in on this.
Pretty neat trick, huh? Claim upfront that the plan has no disconnections, while on the backend include language and a statement that clearly alerts ISPs that if they don't disconnect, they can face much greater liability.

A synonym for the city of San Juan, PR. Though San Juan is on the ocean and has palm trees, it has a lot of similarities to Newark, NJ. Gang bangers, crime, poverty, rude behavior are just some descriptions that come to mind. Many not all of its citizens adopt the urban ghetto lifestyle much like Newark and other cities such as Detroit, Washington DC, Camden, NJ and Boston to name a few.
Mr. and Mrs. Penny Rich took a vacation to San Juan, Puerto Rico. They described their trip as visting Newark On The Sea. Because, they were mugged, had their rental car jacked and their room burglarized. Mr. Rich states: "If we would have known San Juan was as dangerous as Newark we would have gone to St.Barts. We will tell our country club friends when we get back to Short Hills, NJ. that San Juan is just like Newark, NJ but with palm trees. There was garbage in the streets, thugs in Tommy Hilfigger droopy clothing.

Tunisia recovers bodies of Syrian boat migrants
TUNIS, Tunisia (AP) — The Tunisian Coast Guard has recovered at least 41 bodies of migrants, mostly Syrians, who drowned trying to sail to Europe, a local official said Saturday.
The bodies were found after a search was launched Friday after a few decomposed bodies washed up on shore suggesting the sinking of another boat carrying migrants from North Africa to Europe, seeking a better life.
Mustapha Abdel Kebir, the mayor of Ben Guerdane, a border town with Libya, said that identity papers recovered from the bodies indicate that most were Syrian and the dead included women and children.
Abdel Kebir said the boat was most likely an overcrowded zodiac — essentially an inflatable raft — that likely sailed from Libya before sinking and the currents washed the bodies up on Tunisian shores.
He added that fishermen reported seeing many more bodies in the sea over the past days.
Tunisian fishermen say they regular fish migrants, both dead and alive, out of the sea, attempting to make their way to Europe and say they're quickly being overcome by this year's flood of Africans and Middle Easterners seeking a new life in Europe.
The fishermen say they've seen up 30 boats of migrants leaving each day for Italy, each with a capacity of between 50 and 250 people, but it's difficult to get exact numbers. Organizations such as the Red Crescent are trying to help some of the migrants picked up by the Tunisian Coast Guard.
The Italian navy said rescued more than 93,000 migrants since the start of the year.
With the breakdown in security in neighboring Libya, it has become a major jumping off point for boats carrying Syrian and sub-Saharan African refugees seeking a better life in Europe.

From October to December 2012 the number of trips to Ireland from North America increased by 14.2 percent, which is up to 201,300 trips from the same time last year. The Central Statistics Office has just reported the figures.
The period coincides with significant publicity about The Gathering, the call from the Irish government for the Diaspora to come home.
The big increase would seem to indicate that the concept is working and it will fully play out over the next 12 months.
Irish Transport minister Leo Varadkar welcomed the growth in 2012.
"Although there was a slow start in 2012, we saw strong growth in the later part of the year with very strong growth from North America, core European and long-haul markets," he said. "Visitor numbers from Britain fell but it is important to point out that visitors from further away stay longer and spend more.
Read more about The Gathering 2013 on IrishCentral here
The total number of global trips to and from Ireland has increased 4.4 percent to 279,400 trips to Ireland when compared to the same time last year according to the Central Statistics Office (CSO).
Although 2013 is still very young, these figures seem to show that The Gathering is having some impact on people's travels.
The North American figure is especially noticeable as major advertising for The Gathering has taken place here.
Other parts of the world have also seen an increase in travel to the Emerald Isle. Travel from Europe (excluding Britain) increased 8.8 percent to 505,400 trips. Travelers from other areas, including Africa, Australia, and the Middle East increased 15.5 percent to 85,000 trips. This is not surprising since the Irish diaspora reaches over several continents.
Read more: An American perspective – Why The Gathering Ireland 2013 means so much to Irish Diaspora
The Irish Diaspora is 70 million strong, Many Irish emigrated to Canada, the United States, Australia, and New Zealand among other places throughout the course of Irish history. The Great Hunger in the mid nineteenth century in particular scattered many Irish abroad.
However, residents around the Irish Sea are traveling elsewhere. Britain saw a decrease in the number of visitors jumping across the Irish Sea. British visitors decreased 1.3 percent with 646,400 trips. Between October and December 2012, Irish residents made 1,360,400 trips overseas, showing a 3.8 percent increase.
Irish tourism experienced a 0.5 percent increase from 2011 to 2012 with 6,325,800 trips.

Project North Staris the Canada Aviation and Space Museum's volunteer program to assist in restoring the only surviving military Canadair C54-GM (North Star). This North Star (Registration # 17515) was built in 1948 for the Royal Canadian Air Force. North Stars provided the backbone of the RCAF military long range transport capability for almost twenty years until the mid 1960s.
Royal Canadian Air Force North Star
Each workday you will find a dedicated team of enthusiastic and friendly volunteers who, working with Museum conservation experts, are making great progress in restoring this aircraft.
Since the early days of manned flight, nearly one million aircraft have been built, and most will ultimately disappear. Nearly all will perish, regardless of their usefulness, beauty, or effectiveness.
Project North Star began with a group of aviation enthusiasts who see these machines as more than just wood, metal, and fabric. Some were flight crew, ground crew, builders or researchers, who have a personal connection to the North Star and who wish to see this aircraft preserved for its historic significance. Others on the restoration team simply enjoy the opportunity to do their part in preserving a piece of aviation history.
This site provides information on the North Star aircraft and the volunteers of Project North Star. Please have a look at the photos of restoration work in the Gallery.
The following links open videos (in English or French) in youTube that give a brief introduction to our Association and its work:
If you would like to help our team with this restoration, you can join our Project North Star Association Of Canada or make a tax deductible donation by completing the Membership form on the Members page, or you can apply to join our team of volunteers at the Canada Aviation and Space Museum in Ottawa.

On 7 October Abba Seraphim and his fellow pilgrims visited Lake Van in south-eastern Turkey from where they took a boat to the island of Aghtamar, once the capital of the Armenian kingdom of Vaspurakan under the Artsruni dynasty, as well as the seat of an independent Armenian Catholicosate, which existed for over a thousand years until 1915. This part of the lake is also the ancestral home to Abba Seraphim's three Van cats. The beautiful palatine built by King Gagik Artruni has recently been restored, as well as the Armenian Patriarchate of Constantinople being permitted to celebrate the Divine Liturgy each tear on the Feast of the Holy Cross.

The Dream Of A Michigan Ave. Bike Boulevard Could Move A Step Closer To Reality
At this upcoming Tuesday's Santa Monica City Council meeting, the council will vote on a staff recommendation to seek grant funding for what is being called the Michigan Ave. Bike Boulevard. This is the kind of game changing transformation so desperately needed to improve conditions for existing cyclists, and perhaps more importantly, make bicycling accessible to so many people afraid to do so now. We often show up to meetings to complain about things, but this something we can enthusiastically support.
For those unfamiliar with bike boulevards, they are streets, usually low traffic volume neighborhood streets which use a variety of traffic calming measures to bring car traffic down to reasonable speeds, to encourage bicycling and discourage cut through car traffic. They often use roundabouts and other intersection treatments more friendly to the flow of cycling, while keeping speeds low at those intersections, as well as reducing the worst kinds of crash risk. [Portland BTA overview of bike boulevard]
As a resident of the Pico Neighborhood who has lived at 2 different apartments right off of Michigan Ave., I cannot say enough how enthusiastically I hope this project happens. Let's make it happen.
If you can come out to say a few words of support, it would be good to hear other voices than the usual suspects. The last time Santa Monica tried to get a bicycle boulevard route, homeowners, against their own interest and property values, shot it down with a vengeance. That was a different time, but we may still encounter some resistance, so it's important to show community support for this when ever and where ever we can. You never know when some nimbys will come out of the wood work to argue their 30 second shortcut to avoid Pico Blvd on the way to the freeway will be slowed by 5 seconds by a Michigan roundabout and that concern somehow trumps the safety of kids trying to ride a bike to school.
It will be item 3-F on the council agenda, with the public session beginning at 6:30pm on Tuesday the 22nd. The full staff report can be seen here, and the pdf of the proposal map can be found here.

West Texas peanut farmers have been frustrated and agricultural scientists baffled this summer by a peanut disease that defied identification.
"It is schlerotinia," says Terry Wheeler, research plant pathologist at the Texas A&M Research and Extension Center in Lubbock. "It does not look like schlerotinia and it does not act like schlerotinia in the field but when I isolate the organism in the lab, it is schelerotinia."
Farmers, mostly in Gaines County, have been bewildered by the disease for much of the summer and some expressed frustration at a recent field day at the Western Peanut Growers Research Farm near Seminole. The crux of their beef is a delay in identification of the organism.
Peanut specialists on hand at the field day explained that the disease growers found this year resembled another peanut disease organism, botritus. The fungicide of choice for botritus, Topsin-M, cost considerably less than the recommended treatment for schlerotinia, Omega. "We're talking an $8 per acre expense with Topsin-M on a band, versus $32, banded, for Omega," says Gaines County farmer Ronnie Wallace. "I understand the farmers' frustration," Wheeler says. "They need answers and they're looking at thousands of dollars in control costs, depending on which disease they have."
Compounding identification, Topsin-M, which is not labeled for schlerotinia, "stopped the infection," Wheeler says. "It's not supposed to, but it did." Wheeler, a research scientist, was called on to identify the organism so growers could select the proper control strategy. "I had to get samples of known schlerotinia from (Extension plant pathologist) Chip Lee and compare the organisms," Wheeler said. "When I isolated the samples from Gaines County and compared them with Chip's samples, the organisms were the same.
Looks deceiving "The samples do not look like schlerotinia but in every sample, isolation showed it to be schlerotinia. Every one." She says the organism is not difficult to isolate in the laboratory, but it takes time. To conduct the research necessary to compare samples took several weeks, longer than farmers can afford to wait.
But Wheeler could not afford to make a wrong diagnosis and risk error and further problems for farmers. "Some of them had to treat with the more expensive material," she says.
The process should be quicker with a base to work from. "Now, it's relatively easy to isolate but I still need seven days to grow the organism," she said. "We can live with seven days," Wallace says. "We can't live with three weeks or a month. We need answers sooner than that."
Wheeler said several peanut specialists looked at the disease in the field and agreed that it was not schlerotinia. "But using standard isolation techniques, we couldn't identify the disease as botritus, which is easy to identify in the lab, but not in the field. I could not find botritus." She said digging out information on botritus also posed problems. "I looked through four decades of literature and found nothing," she said.
Lab surprises Her lab work, however, assured her that the disease was not botritus. "But it did not look like schlerotinia. She says the disease appears to be airborne and schlerotinia, historically, has not been. "And the chemical that was not supposed to work on it was effective."
She says the Gaines County farmers apparently have a new strain of the disease. "This is a clear change in a well-studied disease," she said. "And it is a very aggressive form of schlerotinia. It has been very severe in Gaines County this year." She says the outbreak runs from around Seminole up to Seagraves, near the Terry County line. She's also looking at a suspicious sample from Yoakum County. "I'll spend much of the fall and winter working out a procedure to manage this disease," Wheeler says. "There is no doubt that it's a different strain. It's not your typical schlerotinia so other fungicides might be effective on it. What we have to consider now is how to control it."
Which is exactly what Wallace hopes for. "I still don't know what I have in my fields," he says. "It's been frustrating that some experts say one thing and others say something else." He says infection on his farm "is very bad in some places and spotty in others. And I don't really care what it is; I just want to know how to stop it."
Wheeler says farmers must be careful not to spread the disease this fall as they finish up and harvest the crop. "The bad thing about schlerotinia is that once it gets started it's there for the life of the field."
Wheeler says despite the problems with identification, the solution has depended on cooperation from a lot of people, including farmers, consultants, and Extension and research scientists.

|BF was growing a mustache, I think partially out of laziness and partially to piss me off, so I got him a special bag for his gift from Target :)
|The Cousins out for a night on the town.
After quite the night out, BF and I managed to get up early for a breakfast at one of my favorite local joints, Orange. Then BF wanted to do Adventure Day up to Andersonville, which is just north of the Wrigleyville area. The below pics are from Brimfield, which was probably the NICEST antique store I've ever been to! I LOVED IT because it just seemed so pretty and New England, but it was ALL Midwest! They had these cool pillows that they'd made from old pennants they'd found, albeit a little pricey, these things were 'new' and cool!
|One of the cool pennant pillows.
|This is a cool pillow they made out of a Girl Scout uniform! They have the same for the Boy Scouts too!
For lunch, since we were so close, we head down the street to Revolution brewery.
That night we just kind of crashed.
Sunday, we inadvertently invited ourselves on an outing to the Field Museum with our friends Jenn and DJ. And thanks to my work ID, we got in free!
|Me and Sue, the most complete T-Rex.
|Me hiding to surprise the kids in the Adobe exhibit; can't you tell I'm making some sort of bread...
|View from the dinosaur exhibit.
|It's a Jewish style deli, and the owners make the letters appear to be in Hebrew, even if they're spelling English, it's pretty neat.
|They have the look and feel of the old chalk board restaurants.
|Fantastic old school, soda jerk counter, complete with Green River Floats!
|BF gave up meat for Lent, but as you can see, not cheese. He got the portabello burger.
|Jenn got what I got, so this is DJ's classic Reuben with Slaw.
Friday night, I was supposed to go to this thing at the Sears Centre with my friend Amber to meet the Olympic Fab Five... well, it snowed Thursday night, and I don't drive in the snow if I can help it. So I picked Amber up and we went up there... only to find the place complete empty and blacked out. After a few phone calls and web searches, we learned the entire tour had been cancelled. So we decided to move to plan B to grab dinner and drinks and one of my FAVE restaurants, Seasons 52.
|This is their Pomegranate Margarita Martini... I have to say, it would've been better with a sugar rim.
|We got some delic flat breads while we waited on another girl to meet up with us.
|They make your guac at the table, fresh!
|Their Margaritas are some of the freshest I've ever had!

Sunday morning, apparently we all liked the double date so much the previous weekend, that DJ/Jenn were calling us and BF/I were texting them to meet up for brunch. We made our way down to the River North area to Meli's Cafe to grab some brunch.
|I got the special, chocolate chip cookie dough pancakes... I mean, COME ON! AMAZING
|Jenn got the gluten free pancakes with bananas and agave syrup.
|Both BF and DJ got skillets
|A coffee plant... which looks much pretty than I expected
|One of the many Orchids in the Orchid room!
|All the Azaleas reminded me of Home in the spring!
|Afterward we made our way over to the Lincoln Park Zoo. Check out how close the Rhino was! She was just playing around in the snow. So Cute!
|BF playing around.
|HOW CUTE IS THIS! It's a pigmy hippo!
|Jenn was most excited about the Giraffes
|BF REALLY likes to play around in public... :) isn't he cute!
|All the cats were out in the Big Cat House.
We then watched the Oscars, which I felt was better than some of the more recent years, but overall, lacking.
Ok, that was long, and actually probably took longer to type than actually doing it all. I hope y'all have been staying warm this February!
Till next time!
XOXO, the Prep
