Whiteside County's new State's Attorney is defending a meeting of the County Board's Democratic majority. The meeting is being investigated by the Illinois attorney general following a complaint it violated the Open Meetings Act. The DeKalb State's Attorney has followed suit in a similar situation.
Meetings Under Review in Whiteside and DeKalb Counties
In Whiteside County, Sauk Valley Media is waiting to hear from the Illinois Attorney General's office. At issue--whether members of the county board violated the Open Meetings Act. Late last month, members of the board allegedly threatened to call police when a reporter tried to cover a discussion over the selection of a new board chairman. Members contend it was a caucus gathering, not a public meeting.

Plus Tom Toles on "Fine for a painting, but not for a planet?"
I have a bonus Toles blog post and cartoon (in color) at the end, but first, here's a post from my colleague Matt Yglesias:
A frontal assault on the idea of prudential regulation of the financial system is unlikely to be a political winner, so the smart guys are sneaking through the back door:
Mr. Gensler, in testimony before a House appropriations subcommittee, called the Commodity Futures Trading Commission "a good investment for the American public, overseeing vast markets with a relatively small staff." Despite the nation's budget deficit, Mr. Gensler said his agency needed a budget increase "because, as we saw in 2008, without oversight of the swaps market, billions of taxpayer dollars may be at risk."
Although the White House agrees with Mr. Gensler, Congressional Republicans are eying severe cuts to the agency's funding.
Of course the premise of Gensler's testimony is that if Congressional Republicans come to believe that higher CFTC funding is important to maintaining appropriate derivatives regulation, that will make them more inclined to back it. My suspicion is that the reverse is true. If Gensler were to solemnly promise that he will endeavor to waste a giant share of his agency's budget on buying really fancy office chairs, that the committee might be persuaded to listen to lobbyists from the chair industry and pony up the money. The aim here is to starve enforcement agencies of money needed to enforce the law. Then when the next crisis comes we'll get (a) a giant bailout and (b) the argument that since existing regulations didn't work, clearly what we need to do is formally repeal all regulations and pretend there won't be any future bailouts.
A brilliant strategy, in a Bernie Madoff sort of way (see "Is the global economy a Ponzi scheme?"). And that brings me to Toles' latest:
Here is Toles' latest blog post, "Fine for a painting, but not for a planet?"
There is a principle in art conservation. "Don't do anything that can't be undone."
Seems like an idea that could usefully be applied to planet earth. Specifically in three ways.
1) Don't drive species to extinction
2) Don't destroy a habitat that species rely on.
3) Don't change the climate in ways that will result in the above.
Yes species occasionally go extinct all on their own. And occasionally are swept away in huge mass extinction. This is not one of those times unless we make it one. Species are not replaced in a time frame that has any meaning to human history. We have the power to impoverish ourselves irreversibly or take care of what we have. The argument on the other side would be what, exactly?
25 Responses to Starving the Watchdogs
Yep .. Starve the watchdogs and then blame them after a 'theft' for being week and sleepy … couldn't get more convenient ..eeh.
Nice cartoon, 2nd one … Consoling 'cents of humor'.
The "GET A LAUGH" button below each pane seems dis-consonant with the cartoons themselves. They are meant to be satirical, but they are so dead on it's not even funny.
"The argument on the other side would be what, exactly?"
Uhh…my quarterly balance sheet?
The argument on the other side has to do with, "Who gets what?".
Let's be practical here. People work hard to get it (whatever it is … but something like money is a very popular definition of 'it') and when they have it they believe it belongs to them.
The argument does something like: I have worked hard and made the right choices in life and now I have it. So now I should give it away to someone else who has not made the sacrifices I have made to get it? That's unfair to me and everyone else who have achieved it.
Hummm … this is starting to look like, "The Tragedy of the Commons" where for everyone to be successful everyone has to give up something. Individualistic thinking and accounting are poisonous to this debate. When this individualism is coupled with a propaganda industry which spews FUD: Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt, the results should not surprise anyone.
I go back to a theme from Game Theory I've mentioned here before. The Game of the 21st C is: "The Tragedy of the Commons".
If we solve this game, our species lives long and prospers. If we can't solve it, our species dies a long and brutal death.
The Climate Debate
Imagine people try to open a door.
Imagine on the other side of the door are some heavy bodyguards blocking the entrance paid by a single man.
Now imagine how more and more people start pushing against the door to have it open.And while people push the door water starts to rise around them.
We are now at the moment when the bodyguards feet start to slip and the door is opening with a whammy.
uhm, the tragedy of the commons is that some people use and take a whole lot, and leave the rest to deal with the ill effects. The commons are not equal, by any means. BP, Goldman Sachs, nuclear companies – they make take the big risks, and get most of the gains (profits), but many of them wont necessarily feel the bad effects – that the rest of us pay for.

Please send this link along on your emails to raise awareness from coast to coast to coast
Make this Mother's Day one for the books… -
Well, Japan had regulations and look what happened to them!
(This is sarcasm.)
The Tragedy of the Commons occurs when people use up a shared asset before they use any of their own.
With CO2 and greenhouse gases, there is no other asset, no private stock of good climate, to enjoy once the common one has been used up. This is the only planet we've got.
The ordinary Libertarian buzz words don't apply.
The word of the day from http://wordsmith.org/words/usufruct.html is usufruct – the right to use and enjoy another's property without destroying it.
Seems we've strayed far from the "without destroying it" part… so much so that hardly the next generation is considered, much less the 7th generation as directed by the Iroquois Confederacy…
The tragedy of the commons to my way of thinking began with the idea of private property. Those who saw life as a competition to pile up more loot than others, began to steal it from those others. So you get brigands turning themselves into chiefs, kings and emperors. They surround themselves with armed killers and they set about extracting protection money from farmers, herdsmen, merchants and artisans etc-these become serfs and peasants. Later the standover men 'enclose' ie steal the common land adding to their wealth. Even bigger profits come from 'entrepreneurial' activities like slave trading, slavery on plantations, slaves mining billions in silver at Potosi and the like and in exterminating tens of millions of indigenous in the New World and stealing their fabulously rich and productive land. Why you can even turn a nice buck from exterminating your near kin, as in the Scottish Highland Clearances or the Irish Potato Famine, during which, in obeisance to the Laws of Free Trade, you continue to export grain while children starve in ditches.
The only real difference today is that the blood-suckers have no more 'New Worlds' to conquer. They control everything, from politics and the indoctrination system of the MSM to the very stuff of life, patented hence expropriated for rentier purposes against all common sense and decency.And the greed and lust for 'More!' has reached the biological limits of a finite planet. The millennial habit of stealing, intimidating, and killing where necessary to get your way, ie the lifestyle of the uber-Mafiosi, has hit a dead-end. The robbers' class has reacted by falling back on their perennial strengths, violence, bullying and intimidation. I mean, honestly, is what is happening in your Tea Party governed states, Wisconsin, Ohio, Michigan etc not the throwing down of a gauntlet by the banditti? Is this not, at long last, after many false alarms, the arrival of some decidedly unfriendly form of naked authoritarianism? I'd call it fascism, but it hardly amounts to that. -
We are species.
…thus it's counterproductive to destroy habitat in the name of stopping global warming – at the moment a huge land grab going on to build concentrated solar while rooftop solar incentives are cut.
Sorry Joy. I do wish we would use rooftops and already-degraded land first, but I WILL NOT start a battle with anyone trying to develop alternative energies. It will only give fodder to faux news (witness the fun they derived from attacks on cape wind). PLEASE try to be diplomatic in your attempts to nudge the developers to minimize their intrusion. This is not the time to fracture our base.
Or maybe you actually work for the Koch brothers. They would LOVE to see a battle split proponents of solar energy.
Joy, I appreciate your desire to protect the desert tortoise and the desert ecosystems. I share that desire.
But please consider what will happen to the entire desert ecosystem if we allow temperatures to rise significantly higher than they now are and at the same time reduce the already sparse rainfall. Already we are seeing some lizards ceasing to reproduce because it's gotten too hot for them to hunt. If they don't eat enough, they don't mate.
Might it make sense to use <1% of the desert in order to save the other 99+%?
Joy, the second link you provide includes the words "mitigation concepts with no scientific foundation" which sounds like science denial to me.
Apart from that, it seems like any damage could be averted by a change of site, ME
Joy#14, I'd agree that protecting a vulnerable habitat and endangered species would be a priority in a sane world, but it's emergency time. We have reached the stage of choosing 'lesser evils'. As the others have said, stopping climate destabilisation, which will destroy all habitat and most higher species if unchecked, has to be the absolute priority. Please beware of cunning denialist industry dissemblers, feigning concern for habitats or creatures that they never showed any interest in before and which they would happily crush under their wheels if uranium or oil was discovered in that desert.
Joy, let's do a little math.
Suppose we define the "California" desert as a rectangle stretching from Las Vegas south to the Mexican boarder (400km) and from Hemet east to Phoenix (500km). That gives us an area of 200,000 square km and at 247 acres per sq km the rectangle contains 49,400,000 acres.
Now let's take the world's largest solar project, the Mojave Solar Park. It's 6,000 acres (and it's huge, huge, huge compared to the 50MW Spanish Abengoa plant at 280 acres).
The Mojave Solar Park takes a total of 0.0012% of that block of desert.
You could place 1,764 Abengoa-sized solar plants in only 1% of that hunk of desert.
Okay, I have no idea how to get there from here, but here's my dream: Everyone on Anthro-Earth is fairly represented and agrees to binding decisions about energy.
At a fairly large panel discussion (that I volunteer to moderate), each energy form has advocates pointing out all their benefits and detractors pointing out all their liabilities.
The panel of representatives then chooses how to transition to each of these forms of energy based on the plusses out-weighing the minuses.
My own intuition is that solar and wind would top the list by a wide margin, while coal would be seen as the worst energy source when all full-cost accounting is done.
As others have pointed out, the lizard who's habitat is disrupted by a desert solar array is a cause for sadness, but abruptly and catastrophically shifting climate that kills most or all individuals of most or all species is sadder by such a wide margin – well, you could do the math.
When I go to scientific conferences I find that most scientists are most interested in the truth of their science, but when I go to energy conferences I usually find that everyone is selling something, and even if I agree with what they're selling that leads to multiple exaggerations and distortions.
In fact in addition to Mulga's amazing rant at #12, I'd add this: He's speaking of the governmental, military and financial leaders, and I agree with him. But just as Hitler or Stalin couldn't kill millions by themselves, these leaders need most of the rest of us in the most affluent countries to keep the mechanism going.
I don't think what Mulga is saying is a vast spoken conspiracy. Little of what he brings up is ever discussed, it's just that the whole system operates as if there were a vast conspiracy, because it is to the benefit of so many, including the middle classes who make the whole thing run but of course especially to the master class he so expertly exposes.
And a big part of the mechanism is why those energy conferences are so odious to me compared to the scientific conferences: It often seems like we're just selling each other everything all the time, until we are literally selling ourselves to death.
Selling good and necessary things like solar and wind will best be done by comparing all their plusses and minuses with all other forms of energy as completely and honestly as possible, including their scale (which needs to grow 100-fold as quickly as possible).
I have just listened to the Chairman of Blue Scope Steel address the National Press Club. Just a sample: the carbon tax will destroy the steel industry in Oz in 10 years, Ross Garnaut got his stats wrong, the price on carbon will not change global emissions at all, all they want is a 'level playing field', the govt is hopeless at consulting.
One journo pointed out that their plant in Kiwi Land was still making a huge profit even with a carbon tax. His answer was quite predictably that its different over there.
So its heating up. Lots of yelling and screaming ahead! ME
"The argument on the other side would be what, exactly?"
Umm . That would be whole lot of money and a comfortable 'modern lifestyle' for me :-) I'm not sure about the rest of you though …
Does anyone remember this cartoon classic? Gary Larson's "The Far Side" circa 1989, shows three fish standing on a table right next to their fish tank, where a fire rages inside the tank under the water. Caption:
"Whew! We made it out just in time. Of course, now we're equally screwed." I have an old, yellowed clip of this cartoon from an old newspaper that was pinned to my desk wall for years. Would be fun to find an electronic version of the original cartoon. -
I keep running into an argument for the other side from a very small minority (least they're a minority up here in Canada)–the endtimes are coming so it all doesn't matter because the 'good' guys will be raptured away.
Re: Gary Larson cartoon. Yes, I have that one on my desk calendar–I have four or five years of Gary Larson desk calendars. I sorted and categorized each of the cartoons into different topics so I could find any cartoon I wanted for the appropriate topic when I taught biology. Teaching about tapeworms? I've got the cartoon at my fingertips. Why yes, I am a bit OCD–how did you know? :)
@ Daniel J. Andrews:
Oh it gets worse then that I'm afraid….
Here is US Rep. John Shimkus arguing, in a US Energy Subcommittee hearing that there won't be flooding of the coastlines from AGW because in his interpretation of the Bible, that God had promised otherwise.
Rep. John Shimkus: God decides when the "earth will end"Also, if you haven't head of them yet, you might want to also look up the "Rapture Ready". This collection of individuals not only think that the Earth is about to end, but many want to help speed things (like wars in the Middle East) along so that they can get "raptured" more quickly!

Historical overviewFrom Researching Virtual Initiatives in Education
Historical Overview of the term Virtual SchoolTo follow, but see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_school
Historical Overview of the term Virtual Campus (for universities and colleges)The concept of the virtual campus is in fact only around 15 years old, dating from roughly 1995. But the idea of virtual teaching had already emerged by the early 1700s. In the past, virtual teaching was carried out by posting text-books to a student, who read them and sent back assignments to be marked. Communication between the student and the academic was via correspondence – hence the phrases correspondence teaching and correspondence university. This approach in fact still happens in many institutions today, especially in less developed parts of the world. The concept of virtual teaching was first documented in 1728, when an advertisement appeared in the Boston Gazette from Caleb Phillipps advertising that any "Persons in the Country desirous to Learn this Art, may by having the several Lessons sent weekly to them, be as perfectly instructed as those that live in Boston". Correspondence teaching evolved into the term distance education, first used in a University of Wisconsin-Madison catalogue for the 1892 school year. In 1905 the first true distance learning institution, the University of Wisconsin-Extension, was founded. Distance education is often seen as the precursor to online learning or technology-enhanced learning. In the Re.ViCa project we use the term virtual to mean enhanced by means of technology. In Europe, the Open University of the UK is often seen as the first successful distance teaching university, using communication technology to achieve "education for all". In the early 1970s, the use of television broadcasting for teaching in universities became popular, most notably in the UK Open University – originally called the "University of the Air". Some TV-based universities still exist, like NETTUNO or the Shanghai Television University, but the story in recent years of broadcast TV use in universities (including open universities) has been one of a long, broad retreat masked by a number of temporary local advances. Although television can serve as a democratic learning tool, it misses the characteristic of being interactive. For learning and teaching, two-way communication is very important. Hence other technologies were introduced to accommodate these needs, e.g., videoconferencing (VC). The first VC systems started to appear on the market operating over ISDN (digital telephony) networks, and expanded throughout the world in the 1980s. At the end of that decade, the use of email and bulletin boards became common to foster communication between distance learners and the staff teaching their courses. In the early 1990s, the major breakthrough was the emergence of the internet and especially the World Wide Web (WWW). Teachers – or at least the early adopters among them – were soon experimenting with their own web sites to support their courses. These early adopters started to offer extra learning materials online. In some cases, these web sites evolved into real management systems, called course management systems (CMS), dealing with all organisational aspects of study, from student registration through automatic evaluation. Later more generic and commercial systems appeared, such as TopClass, WebCT, Blackboard, Docent, etc., which could serve first individual courses, and later on a broad spectrum of teaching and learning needs in educational settings. Increasingly, people started to use the term virtual campus for this "place" where students and teachers shared information and communicated with each other (mainly through email and online materials). In the past, many other terms were prevalent, each with its own nuancing – e.g., online university, net university, etc. The actual term virtual campus made its first appearance in Europe around the mid-1990s. Experts first heard it used in national programmes and strategic documents from the European Commission. More than 10 years ago, European policymakers started to stimulate the analysis of the potential of ICT to enhance learning in higher education. The strategic reports of the European Commission state that "new technologies" are of strategic value to build a "university of the future". A direct result of these reports was a small number of projects focused on research into the possibility of setting up virtual European universities. One prominent example was the VirtUE (Virtual University for Europe) project; this ran from 1996 until 1998 under the TEN-ISDN Programme from the European Commission. The VirtUE project was proposed as a feasibility study for the development and implementation of a networked (or distributed, Euro-ISDN-based) virtual university for Europe in cooperation among classical universities, open universities, technology providers and telecom partners. Within this Virtual University, the VirTUE partnership identified three conceptual models of network-based educational services: Virtual Class and Virtual Campus; Network for Flexible Open and Distance Learning; and Network for On-demand Learning. In our search for definitions and background information we also found BENVIC (Benchmarking of Virtual Campuses), one of the earliest projects funded by the European Commission addressing the issue of benchmarking virtual campuses. In the BENVIC project, the virtual campus concept is referred to as "a specific format of distance education and on-line learning in which students, teaching staff and even university administrative and technical staff mainly 'meet' or communicate through technical links". Next to BENVIC, through numerous other e-learning and Minerva programmes supported by the European Commission in the last decade, many institutions and organisations have been working on exploring and refining the concept of the virtual campus. Noteworthy results have been published, e.g., in the Manual for a Collaborative European Virtual University, the main outcome of the 2001–2003 cEVU (Collaborative European Virtual University) project. cEVU examined why a collaborative European virtual education offering would be beneficial to universities; how it should be structured and operate; and what should be put in place to create it. The report focuses on collaborative European virtual universities as one format of transnational virtual higher education. The Peer Review Handbook outcome of the 2005–2007 MASSIVE (Modelling Advice and Support Services to Integrate the Virtual Component in Higher Education) project – which designed a model of necessary support services for European traditional universities to successfully implement the virtual component of teaching – has also had an influence on our understanding of the virtual concept.
In Canada they started to experiment with remote "tele-education" even earlier. In 1993, Prof. Rory McGreal reports that they were setting up about 30 community learning sites and linking them to community colleges. Later on, as educators discovered the World Wide Web, they started to experiment with a computer-based audio graphic system where people would write on tablets and travel virtually to these community centres where students would study. These linked sites evolved into the tele-campus. Unfortunately when a new government took control, the funding ran out and the tele-campus basically faded out. In the meantime, Athabasca University created the Canadian Virtual University, a consortium of 11 universities across Canada. Colorado University Online was one of the first fully accredited online education programmes in the USA, created in 1996 by the University of Colorado Denver (UC-Denver). CU Online allows students to pursue the same University of Colorado Denver courses and degrees as those attended by students on campus, taught by the same faculty members. Another early bird was The California Virtual University (CVU), launched in autumn 1997 with 700 courses, using funding from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. CVU was essentially a portal to the online courses offered by institutions from all segments of higher education across the state of California (i.e., the University of California, the California State University, the California Community Colleges, and the independent colleges and universities of California). In 1999 – with 112 accredited public and private institutions offering more than 2,000 online courses through CVU – CVU was unable to secure the necessary funding to continue as an independent project. The California Virtual Campus (CVC) catalogue of distance education programmes and courses continues the work of CVU. Even in less developed countries like Kenya, policymakers started to experiment with the set-up of virtual campuses and universities. One prominent example is the African Virtual University (AVU), initially launched in Washington in 1997 as a World Bank project. It was later transferred to Nairobi, Kenya in 2002. The virtual campus concept has changed since it first came into use, because now more and more universities see the possibilities inherent in offering courses off campus. We see an increasing number of universities offering courses themselves on a virtual campus basis. Additionally, the term virtual campus is often used to describe international cooperation among universities from several countries. The advent of social software has enabled further opportunities for cooperation. While there are some institutions adopting fully online courses, it is now most common for courses to be blended.
CONCLUSIONThis short introductory text about the history of virtual campuses is of course only a snapshot – it is not our intention to give a comprehensive overview of their history. The text is based on the other work carried out by our research team, and relies on interviews we did with 16 international experts, the Re.ViCa inventory of virtual campuses, in-depth country reports and a literature review. Although the term virtual campus is 15 or so years old, it is still in its infancy and changing very quickly. Over the years, observers have noticed a shift of concepts: from the "well-defined", clear, 100% online virtual campus, to virtual mobility, whereby the more traditional universities open their borders, collaborate supra-/intra-institutionally and often (inter)nationally, and/or involve non-traditional students through e-learning. Actually, there is no strict definition of virtual campus anymore. Every campus becomes a virtual campus. "Blended models" gain more and more interest and attention. All in all, there seems to be a common feeling that a redefinition of the virtual campus concept is necessary, in order for it to be applicable to the educational needs of today. In the next chapter we describe how we would define the term virtual campus and how it is used in different European countries today. ReferencesWikipedia, s.v.

Other Publications We are thrilled to announce the publication of the history of the UCB Architecture Department-- Design on the Edge: A Century of Teaching Architecture at the University of California, Berkeley, 1903-2003. To order your copy by mail, click here. We hope to make these materials available for research soon. In May the Archives received the records of landscape architect Richard Vignolo. Vignolo graduated from the CED in 1950, and began his practice working in Lawrence Halprin's office, where he remained for several decades before establishing his own practice in 1972. His work ranges widely from zoos to shopping centers, universities to corporate headquarters as well as community planning and housing. His work was featured in the book Good Neighbors: Affordable Family Housing, as well as many magazines and scholarly journals. The EDA thanks the family of Kenneth Cardwell for donating his papers containing manuscripts drawings and photographs documenting his research, practice and teaching. The archives also contain images from his book on Bernard Maybeck. Architect Jack Robbins will be donating his professional records to the Archives this spring. Formerly partnered with James Ream, his designs include his own home which was featured in NorCal Mod, the Berkeley Cyclotron building and the Mills College Town Hall. |

Meditations: "Candle Meditation for the High Holy Days"
Responsive Reading #637
I invite you now into a time of silence, and, when you are ready, to light a candle of hope and healing.
Silent Meditation
Minister: Peace be with you
Response: And also with you
Holy One, we bring to this moment our memories of past evils, those done to us, and those in which we are implicated. We bring the joys and sorrows of our hearts, and the milestones and celebrations of our lives. We bring our fears about the future and the connections we feel to this community, this city, this landscape, this world. Help us to hold all these things and yet to go forward into the week and into our lives in peace and in determination. Amen.

Fornatale suffered a brain hemorrhage on April 15 and had been in intensive care for the last week.
Since 2001, Fornatale had been on the Fordham University radio station WFUV with his show that was a staple of New York radio, "Mixed Bag," featuring folk, rock and any type of music that he loved.
Born in the Bronx, Fornatale first was on the airwaves on WFUV, as a college student in the mid-1960s.
He is perhaps best known for his work at WNEW-FM between 1969 to 1989, working at one of the nation's leading progressive rock stations at the time.
As the idea of freeform radio went out of vogue and playlists became more restricted, Fornatale began his show "Mixed Bag," taken from the title of a Richie Havens album, in 1982.
It featured all types of music, but especially groups and artists and songs not heard on other commercial radio stations, including the best of acoustic music like Aztec Two Step, Buskin and Batteau, Steve Goodman, John Prine, Christine Lavin and others.
Fornatale's last show was on april 14.
There will be a private wake and funeral.
Plans are being made for a memorial tribute produced by a non-profit organization that Fornatale loved, Why Hunger.

There have been some changes again. Please read all of the rules.
Note: Ponytot is hosting 11.0 since he asked first
*sign-ups are closed. The game starts June 6th at 15:00 UTC -0.
1. Everybody chooses a 'name'. It won't have anything to do with your real name or anything, it's just a name that you don't want the kiras to find out. Because if they know your name, they can kill you. It is recommended that you keep your name secret; though you are allowed to tell whoever you want, but they may be working with kira/be kira, and therefore be able to kill you.
2. Everybody is assigned a 'class'. This will determine whether you have any special abilities. All the classes will be explained prior to the game. ALL of them. You have all got your classes.
3. If you think you found out someone's name, I will confirm that it is a legitimate name. I will NOT tell you who's name it is, however.
4. Kira can only write in the death note once a day.
5. Your classes are not necessarily a secret. You can tell everybody what class you are if you want. But you could also lie about it. So there's no guaranteeing someone's telling the truth.
6. There will be multiple "L"s, and multiple "Kira"s.
7. L's and Kira's can deliver messages via me. It must be PM'd or messaged to me. A Kira or an L may contact me via PR2 if they want, so the people who visit my profile may not be a kira or an L. My PR2 name is "theblueberryman".
8. L can post 1 message a day.
9. Kira may post 1 message a day.
10. Revivals: You may revive TWO people per week, but they must get 7 votes (in 1 day) to be revived.
11. Invisible mode: though I can't enforce this rule, please do not use it. Please.
12. I will kick inactive players if they don't show any activity for 5 days.
*13. If Kira dies, his/her accomplice becomes the new Kira. The new kira can NOT make another accomplice. In order to do that, the Kira must contact me saying "I nominate <accomplices's user name> as my accomplice", and then the accomplice must contact me saying "I agree to become <kira's user name> accomplice". Note that this implies one thing: the Kira and the accomplice must know each other's identities, since they must tell me each other's usernames in order for me to accept the accompliceship. The (new) kira can choose not to accept though, and if they want, tell someone that person is kira.
14. I am a shinigami. I cannot be executed.
15. I won't confirm classes for alive players. I will, however, confirm classes for dead players -- and I won't allow such things as "losing Kira-ship in order to look like a detective". I will announce the class of every player who dies.
16. Dead men tell no tales.
17. If 2 kiras accidentally kill one person on the same day, the kira who killed him second wasted his kill for the day.
18. I will not tell kira's who other kira's are, and the same thing goes with L's.
19. There are only going to be 35 players playing.
20. To execute someone, you do not have to use a name, just vote them. It takes 3 votes to execute someone.
21. Kira gets 2 eyes a week. Kira gets more eyes the next sunday. Eyes can stack up.
22. You may contact kira anonymously, but they cannot respond to you (unless you post your name in the message and they PM you or something)
23. L's can contact each other anonymously.
24. You may vote out 1 person a day
25. Powers reset sunday 00:00 UTC -0.
If Kira knows your assign 'name', he can write it in his death note and kill you.
Ok, so as you know, everybody has is a class. Most people's class is Detective. However, there are a couple of special classes. One of these classes is obviously Kira, and another is obviously L. Another class is a "theif". They may ask for one player's name once every week (their power comes back every sunday). They do NOT get that player's class. There is also a class called "ninja". They cannot be killed by kira, but CAN be voted out by people. If kira tries to kill a ninja, I will tell them they are a ninja and you can't kill him. Another class is Watari. They can contact L once a week. L can contact them back, and the watari can also post as L once a week. (watari class suggested by PR2GoldenLeaf). The last "special" class is criminal. If for any reason, a person is to get banned from JV, they are a criminal, and I reveal their name. I will NOT reveal their class, though.
also there are 2 L's and 3 kira's
For those who don't know, Kira has a notebook called the Death Note. This book has the power to kill anybody whose name is written in it. They also need to have seen the person's face before, but that's irrelevant for this game, because we're going to assume that everybody has at one time seen everybody else's face.
The day before the game starts, classes will be chosen. It starts Thursday, June 7th.
Please let me reserve a post for the player list guys. Thanks in advance.

Your entries must reach us by 5 July 2013.
We will short-list during the (northern hemisphere) summer.
Our international panel of judges will cast their votes in October and the winners will be announced during our gala dinner in London on Wednesday 6 November 2013.

The AIBs celebrate creativity and reward success in factual programming. Now in their ninth year they are unique in the field of international media for being judged by an independent panel of respected media industry professionals. Each year the Association for International Broadcasting searches for the most inspiring story-telling across radio, TV and online.
We're platform agnostic. AIB aims to show-case the very best in inspiring creativity from established broadcasters and independent producers around the world.
Winning an AIB Award really means something. It brings peer recognition for the producer and respect to those who commissioned the work. Past winners have found it has generated interest in their work from all over the world, as well as generating interest in their home news media.
Winning an AIB award confirms that your programming and content is really working, delivering the very best to audiences.
Focus on factual
The annual AIBs have always focused on factual programming.
AIB believes that entertainment programmes already have their own festivals to celebrate excellence in fiction. Engaging an audience in a factual narrative requires different skills. Investigative journalism is difficult, especially in an age of austerity and spin-doctors. But powerful storytelling can command large audiences.
The AIBs showcase the best current affairs and documentary productions across a wide range of genres. We want to make sure we are comparing like with like.
Rewarding talent
Having the best on-air talent is essential for any broadcaster and the AIBs recognise personalities on-screen and behind the radio mike. Judges look for engaging, creative people who relate both to their audience and to the story they are telling.
Technology is vital, too
The AIBs also reward excellence in production technology. All kinds of new tools are helping journalists and broadcasters discover new stories, whether they are hidden in mountains of data or through tapping wisdom within the crowds.
Independent jury
The AIBs are judged by a panel of independent, international jury members. The constantly changing panel consists of producers, editors, journalists, writers and critics.
Wider than English
AIB recognises that 90% of the world's population does not speak English as a first language. We actively encourage entries in all languages.

London, June 28 : Formula one star Sebastian Vettel has refused to panic, and has chosen to be confident rather than angry, following his early exit from the European Grand Prix.
The German ace''s Red Bull conked out after 34 laps in Valencia having suffered alternator failure, leaving him 26 points behind race winner Fernando Alonso in the 2012 drivers'' championship.
However, Vettel said that he is not worried about his Spanish rival becoming the first driver to secure two victories this season.
"We have also improved step-by-step over the weekend so I take confidence back home from the weekend rather than anger," The Sun quoted Vettel, as saying.
"Let''s stay calm and try not to read the future. We''ve seen that it is unpredictable this season. Whether Fernando won, or anybody else, is not what I am thinking about. We have to get our game together and then we should be in good shape," he added.
Vettel remained confident that he could get his campaign back on track, starting with the British Grand Prix in two weeks' time.
"The important thing [in Valencia] is that we saw that we can be really quick. Okay, the result is not what we expected but it was only the eighth race, so things can change every fortnight," he said. (ANI)

Description: K.C. talks about his time in the Marines and how personal matters-masturbating-are taken care of while being surrounded by tons of other horny military guys. He is somewhat quiet, but has an adorable innocence about him. However, he knows what he is here for and is ready to start jacking off. As soon as he was comfortable on the couch, he pulled out his meaty cock from the opening of his pants and started to pleasure his eager dick. Stroking it in all directions, this marine definitely knows how to get off.After stripping off all of his clothes, K.C. shows off his lean and smooth torso. He works vigorously on his long shaft, getting himself closer and closer to cumming. He then gets on his knees on the floor so he can unleash his long awaited load over his tight stomach.The slender marine is finally ready to bust his nut. A stream of pearly goodness cums out of K.C.'s swollen penis head along with soft moans, K.C. shoots his well deserved load all the way up his 6 pack. With hot, white cum dripping down, K.C. looks up at the camera and breathes out softly, relieved at releasing his military load.

I love the painting, it's gorgeous! I'm sure it was very hard to say goodbye to your oldest daughter. I've been on the other side; it was hard to say goodbye to my dad when I left for college, and when we moved to our small town a year ago, I had to relive that all over again, only this time saying goodbye to my mom. It was tough, but I always look forward to visiting both of them now!! Praying for safe travels!!!

I just stumbled onto your site about 5 minutes ago. Couldn't help getting teared up as I thought about my own daughter heading to NY in a few weeks.
I live just outside of LR. WARNING- A portion of (I-40) between Memphis and LR is closed due to flooding. The state highways they are rerouting traffic to are bumper to bumper. I work for a transportation company and we are rerouting our drives either far north or far south. Word is coming back to us that it takes 4 hrs to go 30 miles. Once they get to LR the roads are fine.
Good luck! I'll be praying for them. - May 6, 2011 at 1:02 PM

BNSF to pilot change to natural gas
Locomotives in pilot program could run through area
BARSTOW • BNSF Railway Co. will test liquefied natural gas in a small number of its locomotives later this year.
"The use of liquefied natural gas as an alternative fuel is a potential transformational change for our railroad and for our industry," BNSF chairman and CEO Matthew Rose stated in a news release announcing the tests.
The company is working with a unit of Caterpillar and General Electric to manufacture locomotives that run on both diesel and natural gas, according to the release. The pilot project will allow BNSF to evaluate the technical and economic viability of the use of LNG in its freight service.
The move could also reduce fuel costs and greenhouse emissions. The retail price of a gallon of diesel fuel costs $3.91, while an equivalent amount of energy in natural gas cost 48 cents, according to a recent report by the Wall Street Journal.
However, fuel savings don't reflect the additional costs the company will need to pay to cool the natural gas into a dense liquid, or the investment costs to retrofit even a small number of the company's 6,900 locomotives.
David Rosse, a retired BNSF locomotive fireman and engineer of 44 years from Barstow, said he believes the test locomotives will probably run through Barstow. He thinks the switch to liquefied natural gas would be inefficient based on observations he has made of LNG-fueled buses.
However, he said he doesn't know the exact details of the company's plans.
"With LNG you lose power and mileage," he said. "That's just the way it burns."
Rosse said LNG is also "very flammable." He said he thinks a switch to waste vegetable oil — used by the Grand Canyon Railway Company — would be smarter.
"Vegetable oil burns clean; and the firebox and fuels are all clean. You won't get soot and stuff in the engine," he said.
According to Rosse, the BNSF's new plans make sense given the Environmental Protection Agency's recent tightening of air pollution and emissions regulations.
The BNSF railway network is one of the leading freight carriers in the country, spanning 32,500 miles in 28 states and two Canadian provinces, according to the company's website.
Lena Kent, a BNSF spokeswoman, said testing locations have not been determined and the company is still working through technical and regulatory issues.

War between Georgia and Russia on the 21st-century Silk Road There will be no peace or stability in the Caucasus until its peoples obtain full autonomy and self-determination of their own destinies and until they cooperate in solidarity in the production and shipping of raw materials, against dictators and local ruling classes, against all forms of nationalism, against all forms of imperialism and against capitalism. Death lies where gas and black gold runWar between Georgia and Russia on the 21st-century Silk RoadMikheil Saakashvili and his dextrous National Movement were brought to power in Georgia on the wave of a "rose revolution" in 2004. In these last four years, Georgia has strengthened its links with NATO and the EU, but has had to put up with a tough embargo on its goods from Russia, which props up the two secessionist regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, both effectively out of Georgian control. Saakashvili as president has not kept his promises. At least a third of the Georgian population is living below the poverty line; unemployment is officially at 16% but is actually much higher; the monthly pension is 16. Current employment legislation permits employers to fire workers without just cause. Popular discontent exploded on the occasion of last January's presidential election, called following the huge demonstrations of November 2007: poverty had been growing at the same rate as the economy. Saakashvili won for the second time, but in order to do so was forced into repressing tens of thousands of demonstrators in the capital, Tbilisi, who were protesting against vote-rigging, corruption, athoritarianism and economic disaster. But so what?! The strategic control of Georgia is worth much more than the state its people live in. And that de facto Russian-guaranteed autonomy that exists in South Ossetia is no little worry to US and European interests in the area. Georgian entry into NATO would justify an international military presence with the aim of protecting and controlling two enormously important strategic corridors for the West: the famous Baku-Tbilisi-Cehyan (BTC) corridor bringing gas from the Caspian Sea to the Mediterranean and the Baku-Tbilisi-Erzerum corridor bringing gas from the Caspian to Turkey, where it is planned to link up with the TIG ("Nabucco") corridor which will link Turkey to Greece and Italy. But both these oil and gas pipelines pass too outrageously south of Russia and too near Ossetia. Russia (and Gazprom) will certainly not be sitting around doing nothing! As long as there is tension in the Caucasus, there will be no room for NATO and Europe will be forced to deal with Russia if it wants Caspian oil and gas. Italy's Foreign Minister is worried that the conflict will spread to Abkhazia... but in reality his fears are more for the interests of ENI (which has a 5% stake in the BTC) and Edison (BTE), and he is already offering to send an Italian "peacekeeping" mission to the Caucasus on a European mandate. Along the 21st-century Silk Road, the lives of 70,000 South Ossetian inhabitants (for whom independence is denied, unlike Kossovo) are worth nothing; as are the lives of the people of Georgia - two peoples apparently divided by ethnic conflict, but in reality hostage to the inter-imperialist conflict for the control of raw materials and corridors. There will be no peace or stability in the Caucasus until its peoples obtain full autonomy and self-determination of their own destinies and until they cooperate in solidarity in the production and shipping of raw materials, against dictators and local ruling classes, against all forms of nationalism, against all forms of imperialism and against capitalism.
