Which Path Will the Youth Climate Movement Take?
[In my effort to highlight other climate bloggers, I'm reprinting this post from Richard Graves, of It's Getting Hot in Here, since it's their future we "adults" are destroying.]
The world is halfway through the process to create a global climate treaty to respond to Global Warming. In the halls around me, government, NGO, and UN negotiators are painstakingly working through the process to create a draft text for this treaty. The last decade has been a period where climate campaigners and negotiators knew where they stood, with the Bush Administration blocking progress, the European Union leading on the UN process, and environmental organizations facing off against the Oil, Gas, and Coal industries. Suddenly everything has changed, with Obama's election, the EU Climate Package failing, and the Canadians having a parliamentary crisis – a financial crisis dragging down the automobile companies – and newly emergent actors like the youth movement, trade unions, and justice advocates showing up onto the global scene.
Nevertheless, with a financial crisis diverting attention from the climate crisis and backsliding among traditional advocates for strong international climate action – there is a lot of frustration and fear on the behalf of many Non-Governmental Organizations. One of the bright spots of the Poznan climate talks has been the arrival of large and energized youth delegations, including representatives of countries such as India, that have inspired many people here. Yet, despite the ever-growing level of international cooperation there remains two paths that this movement could take – that will have major consequences on the outcome of the global negotiations.
Youth have strengths that they bring to these negotiations, but nothing is stronger that the moral voice and clarity they bring to the often intentionally complicated policy discussions that occur at the UN. Youth also have the potential to move, organize, and act on a speed that is matched only by the sophisticated online organizing outfits, like Avaaz.org, that have arisen recently. Young people represent more than the NGO sector and have government delegates, media representatives, youth union reps, and more. They also are willing to call for bold action, develop innovative strategies for advocacy, and have a passion that is palpable to anyone that has spent any time in their presence.
Yvo de Boer, the president of the UNFCCC, in an Inter-generational Inquiry on the role of youth at these negotiations, was asked as to what role young people should play in these talks. He said that too many NGOs have bureaucratized and dropped their banners to put on suits. He said young people must raise the profile of this issue in their home countries, until their governments are forced to listen, if they hope to influence the outcome. For a UN diplomat, it was quite a statement – acknowledged that governments need to be pressured publicly and NGOs were failing to act and remained myopically focused on research, policy expertise, and lobbying meetings.
Yet, it is not entirely clear which path the youth climate movement will take. Many of the delegations represented here have enormous policy teams, drawing students from research universities, that write policy submissions, follow discussions, and lobby delegates. One major proposal, has been for youth to serve as adjunct staff to delegations from Small Island and Developing States that are calling for strong action. Actions often remain rooted in efforts to influence particular policies being debated or discussed. Young people in suits are in abundance everywhere. Will these youth climate activists follow down the path of many NGOs and serve as a next generation of policy analysts, diplomats, and advocates? Will the main focus be on side-events, submissions, interventions, tracking the many ad-hoc working groups, and developing experience with the policy process?
Or will youth climate advocates take another path? Will they develop campaigns that are fearless in their demands, huge in scale, and undertake actions even if it costs them access to delegates or representatives? There are campaigners here, from groups like the Rainforest Action Network (slogan: Environmentalism with Teeth") that are willing to pick targets and hold people accountable. Avaaz.org and youth delegates last year served as the voice of conscience and fought a bruising battle with delegates from Japan, Canada, and USA last year. Will an international youth climate network serve as a secretariat and liaison group with the UN, or will it coordinate a global campaign that targets fossil fuel companies, politicians, and their lobbyists? Can these young people shake the pillars of power and authority with fearless tactics, digital strategy, mass mobilization, and boots on-on-the ground organizing?
Now, before someone accuses me of promoting a false dichotomy or pigeonholing a movement that embraces a diversity of tactics – I understand that any movement needs a diversity of actors, but the question remains of how the effort, energy, genius, and resources of the youth climate movement will be directed.

6 Responses to Which Path Will the Youth Climate Movement Take?
Hey Joe,
Thanks for posting this and sharing your site with our voices. I think that this question also has some real questions for traditional 'green' nonprofits and where they should direct their energy.
Remember years ago when everyone was worried about the Brazilian rainforest and then it dropped out of the media? There is no pressure without attention being paid. Above it is stated: youth delegates last year served as the voice of conscience and fought a bruising battle with delegates from Japan, Canada, and USA last year." But how many in the general public know about this? Last night I watched Steven Chu lecture at the link Joe gave. Of course among reputable scientists the urgency of action to combat climate change is absolutely non-controversial, but when will the general public understand the necessity of large scale efforts?
Here is an amazing stat – one person single-handedly cuts UK carbon output by 2%
I think this is one thing that phases many people – the gentle upward global ave temp trend…
Very soon, we won't be able to adapt to climate change: Pachauri
Asked how adaptation to climate change could be improved, the IPCC chief told IANS: "Don't look at (global) averages. Look at specific impacts in different parts of the world. That is the way to adapt."
Youth "groups" ? They are the majority.
We are the tired, old, failed, saboteurs of their future.
We should be pleading for mercy.
Richard, thanks for writing this post. You raise an important question about the role of youth. While I agree with you that young people should be more active in pressuring our leaders on climate solutions, I think it matters a great deal what kind of policy solutions we push. It's not enough to chant "80 by 50" and "green jobs." So it's important that young people have clarity about the policy analysis, especially about the scale of investments we need in clean energy technology development and deployment.
I also think the youth climate movement has ignored a vital segment of the youth population — scientists and engineers. We've talked about "green jobs" to install solar panels and retrofit buildings, but from what Jesse Jenkins and I have seen, there's been very little focus on the "green jobs" of engineering and laboratory research. We need a generation of innovators even larger than the Sputnik generation, yet we're falling behind in STEM education. Andy Revkin wrote a great post about this yesterday on Dot Earth, "Are Chemists, Engineers on Green Jobs List?"
On the college campus level, this means organizing more students to advocate for greater education and research around low-carbon energy technology and science. Instead of asking college students to simply push for campus carbon neutrality, let's help them push to establish new majors, new professors, and new centers for clean energy innovation. Knowledge creation, education, and research – these are the comparative advantages of our institutions of higher education, and we should be doing everything we can to leverage them for climate solutions.
We also need some sort of "National Energy Education Act" — modeled after the National Defense Education Act of 1958, which created the human capital necessary to win the space race and launch the world into the information age — that would provide billions of federal dollars to support the creation of these university research and education centers, to provide undergraduate scholarships and graduate fellowships in the energy sciences, offer grants for more energy research projects, and fund ARPA-E. Jesse and I proposed an idea like this over the summer in the San Francisco Chronicle and Baltimore Sun (PDF), and Chris Mooney featured it in Mother Jones. I also gave a short interview about it here.
So yes, let's get more young people to advocate with fearless tactics, but let's also make sure our generation is prepared for the energy innovation challenge. We're going to be fighting this war for the rest of our lives — we'd better have the brains to win it.
i think that these guys are doing a great job hey have been going all over and spreading the awareness so i feel that hey have been the best social servers ever ……

Miranda was upset because the boy next door that she liked dumped her. He told her that he needed someone more sexually experienced. She told her stepmom Claudia who encouraged her to call him up and have him come over for a threesome. Miranda called the boy over, and he walked in on her and her stepmom fooling around. Actually, to be exact, Claudia was munching on her 18-year-old pussy when he walked in on them. He joined them, and the party kicked off. It was really insane sex, and needless to say, Miranda has kept her man happy ever since.

I'm a Mathematica beginner who purchased Version 8 a good year ago but haven't had too much time / reasons to use it regularly (or at all at times).
There's a few things on the horizon that I'd really like to use it on, and I also found the fantastic site "Project Euler" which is filled with exercises suitable for learning Mathematica.
This site seems to be fantastic.

Mt. Meeker
After a summer of running and a couple trips to Rocky Mountain National Park, I felt like I was ready to climb Mt. Meeker. I didn't want to climb it alone, but luckily one of our new doctoral students, Elizabeth Schlessman, wanted to climb Meeker, too. Knowing the peak of fall weather was at hand, we set out on a beautiful Saturday to see if we could summit Longs's nearest neighbor.

Wild Basin
This 6-mile round-trip past Copeland Falls, Calypso Cascades, and Ouzel Falls makes for a great day trip from Boulder. I was looking for the exercise as much as the scenery, so I pushed the pace a bit and made it back to the car in about 2:20.

St. Vrain Mountain
After a steady diet of running local trails for the past month, it was time to put on the hiking boots and get above treeline. I'd seen St. Vrain Mountain in a guidebook and thought it looked like a good target -- not far away, above 12,000 feet, 3000+ feet of climbing, and located right on the border of Rocky Mountain National Park and the Indian Peaks Wilderness. A map and stats for the climb can be found at https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msa=0&msid=211578284643104328173.0004c1ad428cb584c8594.

Red Rocks
My grad school colleague Jackie and I decided to relax following finals week and head out for a photo excursion. We spend our morning at Red Rocks outside of Morrison and then headed to Evergreen for lunch and then headed to Lookout Mountain and Buffalo Bill's grave above Golden. Buffalo Bill's grave is pretty much as you'd expect, but I don't know if I've ever seen a grave with such an elaborate (and tacky) gift shop before. We used the evening light to head into the foothills above Boulder and checked out Gross Reservoir and Panorama Point over Boulder before heading home.

This set should really be called "Handies Parts 1 and 2" because our initial attempt on Handies, made on July 13, was unsuccessful due to poor weather. The pictures were too good to ignore, however, so I've included them here with our successful climb on August 3rd.
Besides, once you experience the American Basin, you'll realize that two trips are definitely better than one. What a beautiful place!

I returned to Arches National Park with Mali Faust's creative writing class, this time with five students and just us two sponsors. The highlight of the trip was our guided tour of the Fiery Furnace, and we still had time to see Landscape Arch and Delicate Arch during our brief stay.

Mosquito Peak
How many people get to live in a place where they can climb a mountain after work? A couple weeks ago, after summer school let out at 4pm, Peter Lubin, Jan Toyne, and I left for Mosquito Pass and climbed Mt. Evans, the 13er on the south side of the pass. This time we were back and climbing north to Mosquito Peak. Everything takes about an hour - an hour to drive to the pass, an hour to climb the mountain, an hour to look around and hike down, and an hour to drive back to Fairplay. Now *that's* an after-school activity!

Pagosa Springs
On a long weekend away from summer school I decided to pay the Stinchfields a visit at their home in Pagosa Springs. On my first full day there, we did a great point-to-point hike on the east side of the Weminuche Wilderness. On day two we took it easy, enjoying a great drive north of town and a short hike to Piedra Falls. On the last day the monsoon cancelled our plans to climb Bennett Peak, so we headed to Creede to check out an abandoned mining claim north of town.

San Juan River
The four of us (myself, Mali Faust, Richard Boland, and Jan Toyne, all teachers in Fairplay) camped at Sand Island outside of Bluff, Utah on Tuesday, July 8th, and put in the next day. The San Juan River was at a relatively low 1500 cfs (it had been 10,000) and moved about 3 mph, so we didn't have to do much to make progress. I borrowed a sit-on-top kayak and my major challenge for the first couple days was simply paddling in a straight line.
I'd traveled on water before, with almost 200 miles of experience over four different canoe trips in the Boundary Waters. The most striking difference on the river is the realization that you're on a one-way trip. Paddling back upstream is not an option. You can't go putter around in your boat and come back. You also can't climb out of the canyon and find civilization. The climb would be too tough, and there's no civilization up there anyway, just desert. The river is your salvation.

In late April 2008 I traveled with Mali Faust, Peter Lubin, and ten students for a class trip to Arches National Park. Ms. Faust organized the trip to compliment her creative writing class, who had just completed reading Edward Abbey's Desert Solitare.
The trip lasted three days. The first day we drove to the park, set up camp, ate, and attended a great interpretive program given by one of the park rangers. On day two we took the big hike through Devils Garden, seeing many arches as we completed the loop. Finally, before we left on the third day, we took the shorter trail to Delicate Arch.

The Matron (East Ridge)
A fantastic weather forecast offered a great chance to get in a late-season rock climb. Lubin suggested we head towards Boulder and climb "The Matron", a significant spire toward the southern end of the Flatirons. It would be the right kind of climb for me: one harder pitch at 5.5 or 5.6, followed by lots of easy class 5 along the east ridge. We'd descend by two rappels down the west side.
We met Jeff Bosboom at the trailhead at 8:00 and reached the base of the Matron at 9:15. Lubin led the first pitch, followed quite sloppily by me and then by Jeff. From here we did three pitches up the east face, a wonderfully featured and low-angled broad ridge of sandstone. We ran the rope almost all the way on all three pitches, so this was probably 550 feet of climbing along the ridge.
The weather was perfect but we didn't waste a lot of time on the summit. The two pitch rappel didn't leave us much room to stand for the 2nd pitch, but we all made it down safe and sound.

Turret Dome (Schooldaze)
Sep 30, 2007
While my family was camping south of Buena Vista, my nephew Huston and I decided to climb Huron Peak as his first 14er. It was an ideal first climb - not too many miles or too much vertical, and a great view at the top.

Piedra River
Northwest of Pagosa Springs, the Piedra River passes through meadows and box canyons as it flows south to New Mexico. There is an excellent trail that can be hiked about 10 miles end-to-end, but our hike happened early enough in the spring that one of the trailheads was still closed, so we opted to hike in about 4 miles and then turn around and hike back out.
The first part of the hike enters a box canyon and there was enough runoff from streams to create a few waterfalls into the canyon. The trail turns to the hiker's right and follows the north side of the river through some really gorgeous meadows. At every turn and hill I expected to see a herd of elk in the meadow, but we saw nothing but a coyote roaming the hillside on the south side of the river. We descended a steep portion of trail to a bridge near the confluence of the Piedra and some other creek. There the trail turned more southerly through another canyon which we followed for no more than a mile before turning around.

At the beginning of the year I posted a survey on 18-volt tools and within a month 880 people responded. The survey was set up so answers could be separated by trade. Of those who responded, 42 (4.8%) clicked the box for finish carpenter. 42 not a particularly large sample, but as someone who spent 20+ years as a finish carpenter there's no way I would skip covering that trade.
The tables below contain finish carpenters' responses to the following three multiple choice questions.
Links to the results for other trades can be found at the bottom of this page.
Finish carpenters are crazy about cordless tools and are always thinking about the next purchase. Their ownership of and desire for drill/drivers, circ saws, impact drivers, recip saws, and hammer drill/drivers is on par with that of builders and remodelers. It's not till you get down to cordless jigsaws that you see a difference. Finish carpenters are more likely to own cordless jigsaws than other trades and want them more than other trades; only 11% don't have or want to have one of these tools.
Their ownership of cordless oscillating multi-tools is high and yet for every finish carpenter who owns a cordless OMT there is one who doesn't who wishes he did. About 35% of the finish carpenters said they had or wished they had a cordless power planer. That's more than other trades, which makes sense given the likelihood of their needing to fit doors and scribe trim and cabinets. It also made sense that 68% of finish carpenters have or wish they had a cordless finish or brad nailer.
None of the finish carpenters who answered the survey owned a heated jacket but 25% wished they did. It sort of makes sense; if you choose a trade that involves mostly indoor work then you're probably not a fan of the cold.
Of the finish carpenters who answered the survey only 19.3% had or wished they had a cordless caulk gun. That's a lower number than for builders, remodelers, and repair carpenters. Way to go guys—if you fit those joints tight you don't need much caulk!
Milwaukee's 18-volt tools are less popular with finish carpenters than they are with builders, remodelers, and of course—electricians. It makes sense that DeWalt and Makita would do better with this crowd; their cordless tools have traditionally been smaller and lighter than Milwaukee's. Yes, Milwaukee's cordless tools are frequently more powerful, but power is less of an issue for finish carpenters than it is for other trades.

Released: Jun 01st, 2000
Running Time: 138
Director: David "Cookieman" Luger
Company: Elegant Angel Productions
Cast: Gia Regency, David Luger, Damien Michaels, Brandon Iron, Matty Le'May, Sonnie Daye, Windy Night, T.T. Boy, J.J. Michaels
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Pro-Am
Keep an eye out for Windy Night.
The first hour of this vid is devoted to Windy Night; an indulgence that isn't quite as gratuitous as it seems. Night is possessed of a sweet face, an innocent manner and a ravenous sexual appetite - though that stays dormant until T.T. Boy fucks her into a humping, pumping, seemingly orgasmic frenzy. It's a totally realistic-looking scene, and deserves a Best Couples Sex Scene-Video pre-nom.
The rest of the vid features pretty solid sex; particularly the Gia Regency/J.J. Michaels scene. At first Regency appears to be in pain, (which she later confirms with the admission that "I only had sex with two guys before, and they had skinny-ass cocks"), but she heats up nicely once she gets used to him.

The Institute is a charity registered in England and Wales (no. 293851) and Scotland (no. SC040092).
Royal Charter & Bylaws
2016 AGM and ballot for Council vacancies
The IOP's annual general meeting (AGM) will be held on 14 July 2016 at 1 pm at the Institute's offices in London. All corporate members of the IOP are entitled to attend and vote. You can download the AGM papers here:
• 2015 annual report and accounts
The IOP is conducting a ballot for the vice-president, business, vice-president, education and two ordinary member vacancies arising on Council this year. Ballot papers, along with formal notice of the AGM, are being dispatched to corporate members on 6 June.
As in previous years, members will be able to vote by post using the ballot paper or online. The result of the ballot will be announced at the AGM and details of the successful candidates will be highlighted in the August member e-bulletin and on the IOP website. For further information on the AGM and the ballot, email email@example.com.
The Institute of Physics was established in its current form by Royal Charter dated 17 September 1970.
The Royal Charter sets out the Institute's charitable object and the framework within which it conducts its affairs. The object of the Institute as stated in the Royal Charter is:
- to promote the advancement and dissemination of a knowledge of and education in the science of physics, pure and applied, for the benefit of the public and the members of the Institute.
The Royal Charter is supplemented by Bylaws and Regulations.
Charitable status & public benefit
The Institute is a charity registered in both England & Wales (no. 293851) and Scotland (no. SC040092). As such, the Institute is regulated by both the Charities Commission and the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR).
To be a charity an organisation must have purposes all of which are exclusively charitable (as defined by the Charities Act 2011) and are for the public benefit. The Institute meets the public benefit test in the following ways:
- advancement of education
- advancement of science
- advancement of community development
As a registered charity the Institute is required to produce an annual report and accounts.
The annual report explains the aims and objectives set by the Institute, and the strategies and activities undertaken to achieve them. The accounts or financial statements provide information about the Institute's financial position, performance and changes in financial position over the year.
The Institute is governed by Council which consists of 18 members elected from, and by, the corporate membership, and up to 3 co-opted members who are appointed by Council itself.
Council members serve four year terms, with the exception of co-opted members who are elected annually for a maximum of three years. The Honorary Treasurer and the Honorary Secretary are eligible for election to a second four-year term.
The Royal Charter sets out the requirement for a Council in which 'the government and control of the Institute and its affairs shall be vested.' The Institute's Council is its board of trustees and therefore Council members are the trustees of the charity. Charity trustees are responsible for the general control and management of the administration of a charity.
As such, Council has the ultimate responsibility for directing the affairs of the Institute, ensuring that it is solvent, well-run, and delivering the charitable outcomes for the benefit of the public for which it has been set up. Council sets and monitors the Institute's strategy which delivers these charitable outcomes.
Council members give their time voluntarily and are not remunerated for their work on behalf of the Institute. Council currently meets four times a year, normally in January, April, July and November.
Council has a number of standing committees with delegated powers, thus ensuring that the required time and attention is applied to overseeing specific areas of interest. The terms of reference, delegated powers and membership of these committees are set by Council. Committee membership is not limited to Council members, thus allowing for both wider representation from the membership and receipt of specialist external advice where appropriate. These committees are required to report back to Council.
Standing committees are also empowered to set up sub-committees or their own mechanisms for wider consultation. The terms of reference, delegated powers and membership of sub-committees are normally set by the parent committee.
Subsidiary Companies
The Institute has six subsidiary companies which carry out trading on its behalf.
- IOP Publishing Ltd
- IOP Publishing Inc.
- IOP Enterprises Ltd
- IOP Business Publishing Inc.
- IOP Educational Publishing Ltd (dormant)
- IOP Publishing Consultants (Beijing) Co. Ltd
Together, the Institute and its subsidiary companies are referred to as the 'group'.

USA Basketball's World University Games Site | UVa's 2013-14 Roster | Photo Gallery of USA Basketball's Under-19 Team | Subscribe to White's Articles
CHARLOTTESVILLE -- Wednesday afternoon found All-ACC guard Joe Harris in the men's practice gym at John Paul Jones Arena, tossing up shots with his teammates for several minutes.
Then the pickup game began, and Harris' role changed. His left foot in a protective boot, he followed the action from a seat on the sideline. No longer, though, did he feel like hurling a basketball against the wall in frustration.
"It happens," Harris said of the injury that derailed his summer plans. "All part of the game."
A 6-6 senior from Chelan, Wash., Harris expected to be in Colorado Springs, Colo., this week, trying out for the USA Basketball team that will compete at the World University Games in Kazan, Russia, next month. But a stress reaction in his left foot was diagnosed last week, and Harris had to withdraw from the team's training camp.
"I was really upset when I first found out, because I was looking forward to having a chance to go and try out for that team," Harris said.
Two other members of the UVa basketball family, sophomore center Mike Tobey and head coach Tony Bennett, are in Prague, Czech Republic, for the under-19 world championships. Tobey is one of the 12 players on the U.S. team, and Bennett is one of head coach Billy Donovan's assistants.
"I really wanted a chance to do the same thing and have an opportunity to represent UVa and my country," Harris said. "But it's all good. I've come to grips with it now, and it's better that it happened now [rather than later]. If I would have gone over there and made it worse and come back, I probably would have been out for quite a bit longer."
Early last week, Harris said, his foot felt good. "Maybe a little bit of pinching now and then, but that's about it. I thought it was kind of a normal thing."
He experienced more pain during a pickup game in the middle of the week, though, and mentioned it to Ethan Saliba, UVa's head athletic trainer. Harris was scheduled to fly to Colorado last Sunday, and "Ethan wanted to check and make sure everything was good before I left."
Harris was one of several UVa players planning to drive to Washington, D.C., last Friday to scrimmage the U19 team. Senior Akil Mitchell and sophomores Justin Anderson and Malcolm Brogdon made the trip without Harris after examinations revealed the stress reaction in his foot.
Bennett called Harris from D.C. after getting the news.
"He was disappointed, just because he knew I was really training hard and getting ready and really wanted a chance at trying out for that team," Harris said. "But he was happy that we were able to find it now and it wouldn't be a problem some time in November."
In a statement released Friday night, Bennett said Harris' "senior season and future professional career are the main priorities moving forward. We'll ensure he gets the proper rest and rehabilitation, so he'll be ready for the 2013-14 season."
The good news, Harris said, is that his injury should not require surgery. That wasn't the case with the foot problems experienced by Brogdon and point guard Jontel Evans in 2012.
"We caught it at a pretty early stage," Harris said.
UVa's medical staff would like him to wear the protective foot about four weeks, Harris said. "Then we'll take it off and I'll walk around and do some training stuff with it, see how my foot feels, and if I even feel anything -- it doesn't even have to be painful -- then I'll stay in it a little while longer. And then do the same thing maybe two weeks after that."
Under NCAA rules, the Cavaliers are allowed to practice two hours per week with the coaching staff while summer school is in session. While his teammates practice, Harris will work on a stationary bike and on honing some of basketball skills.
"Yesterday I biked like 12 miles in 30 minutes," he said. "I can still lift [weights]. I do all the lifting stuff. And then basketball-wise, I'll do spot-shooting and do some ballhandling in place before I can actually start moving."
A broken left hand marred the right-handed Harris' sophomore season, but he was the Wahoos' second-leading scorer (11.3 ppg), behind All-ACC forward Mike Scott. As a junior, Harris led the `Hoos in scoring (16.3 ppg) and established himself as one of the college game's most dangerous outside shooters.
In UVa's 73-68 upset of No. 3 Duke at JPJ, Harris hit 12 of 20 attempts from the floor and 10 of 12 from the line and finished with a career-best 36 points.
Had Harris made the World University Games team, he would have dropped the class he's been taking during UVa's second session of summer school. The injury means he'll be able to complete that class and then take another during the third session of summer school.
"Which is actually good," Harris said. "Now I can stay and get six credits and take an easier load during the school year."

>Crescent City California News, Sports, & Weather | The Triplicate
Dean Wilson has received more contributions and has spent more than at least two of his challengers in the race for Del Norte County Sheriff, according to campaign finance reports filed Thursday.
Elwood "Butch" Lee, a sergeant with the Yurok Tribal Police, failed to turn in updated campaign finance information by the May 22 deadline. Lee said on Friday that he was still compiling that information.
In the race for sheriff, unless one candidate captures 51 percent of the vote, the contest will have a runoff in November.
Wilson, who is seeking his fourth term as sheriff, received roughly $7,466 in monetary contributions and $1,746.50 in non-monetary contributions as of May 17. But his own money, about $14,191, accounts for the bulk of his campaign's contributions as of May 17.
Wilson's campaign has spent $17,249.15 as of May 17.
Wilson's largest contributors include Hector and Eileen Brown, who own the Lighthouse Inn and have contributed $1,500 to his campaign.
Ocean World, which is owned by Dean and Mary Wilson, contributed $1,346.50 in sign materials, office supplies, space rent and food. He also received about $3,717 in unitemized contributions of less than $100.
Wilson's largest expenditures include $4,743 to BiCoastal Media for radio ads and $3,795.10 to the Del Norte Triplicate for newspaper ads. He also spent $1,454.83 to Telephone Town Hall Meeting Inc. of Golden, Colo., for a telephone town hall meeting.
Wilson's campaign had an ending cash balance of nearly $1,908 as of May 17.
Wilson's predecessor, Jim Maready, who was sheriff from 1995 to 2002, received $8,951.68 in monetary contributions and $627.48 in non-monetary contributions as of May 17. Maready and his wife Marty used $2,362.68 of their own money for the campaign.
Maready's campaign has spent $9,430.72 as of May 17.
Maready's largest contributors include Seawood Village, which donated $908.50 to his campaign, Salmon Harbor Resort, which donated $500 and Crescent City resident Paul Dillard, who donated $554.75.
Maready's largest expenditures include $3,252.26 in Triplicate ads and $983.47 to Alabama-based ABC Signs for campaign paraphernalia. Maready also paid $850.81 to Del Norte Office Supply for literature and $217.29 to Custom Dezign Graphics.
Maready's campaign had an ending cash balance of $148.44.
Crescent City Police Sgt. Erik Apperson, one of the newcomers to the race for sheriff, has received $6,376 in contributions and has spent $6,019.39 as of May 17. His campaign currently has an ending cash balance of $551.61.
Apperson's largest contributors include $2,000 from the Elk Valley Rancheria, $600 from The Club and $350 from Beverly Burtschell of Burtschell Floor Coverings. Apperson's campaign received $195 from T-shirt sales.
Apperson's largest expenditures include $1,720.50 for ads in the Triplicate and $1,316.65 to VistaPrint.com.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Jul 01st, 2006
Running Time: 78
Director: Joe XXX
Company: Blue Pictures
Cast: Bruna Spinelli, Abata Kupfer, Carla Fiel, Nubia Mudar, Penelope Matahany, Suzuki, Carla, Shayene Lima, Requininiha, Monique Proenca, Sueva Vargas, Tatyana Claudin
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Specialty
The box cover announces that Penelope Matahany stars in this video, but "stars" seems a strong word for what she does, which is appear in the first of five sex scenes featuring reasonably passable she-males and their female companions.
Matahany looks nice, but isn't initially able to navigate her partner's body. Fortunately, her cute blonde friend has a better idea where these things go. Their scene is followed by another bedroom scene, this time with a she-male with very masculine legs and a bed with impressively loud springs.
A hunky, tanned muscle dude then enjoys the attention of a very pretty bio chick and her equally attractive she-male companion. A very photogenic interracial scene competes with off camera chatter, and then a blanket under the sun proves enough for a horny guy, girl, and she-male.
Retailing: A serviceable release for days when the urge for she-males is stronger than the availability of video options.

A section here simply reflects early boost of popularity. Lucky Star will most likely be able to maintain it's presence in the episodes to come, since Lucky Star being a faithful 4-koma adaption will most likely follow the rules of "screw the rules, I have money" in the twisted sense of "screw the plot, we have moe" in a non-negative kind of way, just in case that sounded bad. Kyoto Animation had always been respectively popular here and they also know how to hit the respective fans in the correct places, so it's not too strange, quality of storytelling notwithstanding.

Yay our own sub-forum =D
About Konata and her shirt: While I wouldn't put it past her to not shower, she could do the same thing I do. During winter I'll have like my "slumming sweatshirt" that I wear in front of my computer. So I'm taking it on/off multiple times over a few days.
It's not like a sweatshirt is in direct contact with your body like t-shirts are. And Konata is probably using maybe 1 donut's worth of energy a day, so I doubt sweat is an issue haha... And it being Konata, I don't think she really cares what she wears when visiting her friends, especially for only a study group.
I attend my anime club in pajama pants half the time haha ;P

Kona-chan actualy do own many different clothes. The fact that she kept wearing the same shirt for four days would have passed unnoticed, except for the fact that everyone else in the same time period updated their clothes daily!

Well, the manga shows all of them (even Kona) wearing quite a lot of different clothes... but Kona clearly has at least one set of "sluffing around the house at the computer" set of favorite fuzzy wear.

There you go, patience is a virtue people. Just as I thought Kanon also got swapped out too. That's the price to pay, but it also makes sense. When everybody suddenly has the same series avatar you know its time to act. Though I don't know if its popular in the sense that people think its a masterpiece so much in the sense that it has that Kyoto Animation flair for meme's and discussion therof. Kind of like what Nightengale said, you can't fail when you always do exactly what your fans want. It's a good relationship I guess, but like Nightengale also said it has its drawbacks. It works though.
I'd also like to thank Skane for making this so I can put it to good use. No problem with a good self-ribbing. Hopefully he doesn't mind.
Vallen, I'm a lunatic? Is that in the "Crazy" wacky way or the "CRAZY!" psycopath way?
Also in case people are wondering I have 11% of the posts made thus far in this thread or 7 pages worth total and growing exponentially by the episode. What happens if I up and leave? Before people want to go and accuse me of hating on the series and wanting to see it die out of a long dead vendetta against moe, think of how far that went in contributing to the show getting its own board.
I am also glad because now the series has its own image board, where all the goofy pictures and knockoffs of pictures can go. I expect that thread to be larger than the series thread before long and its good that it will remain seperate from the main discussions. So there everybody wins.
Now everybody commence the discussion of Gundam Wing. I mean, Hokuto No Ken....er what was this series called again. City Hunter....no that's not it .

Pink bug make Amu angry!
Join Date: Jan 2006
Location: Somewhere between Omaha and Minsk
I'm a bit amused by all the debate over how many of the references inside L.S. are referring to other KyoAni productions/industry memes/culturalmemes/nothing at all really. One of the reasons I like their work is that they regularly have tidbits that exist on more than one level at once. Like the song lyric "So much mind on the matter/ The spirit gets forgotten about", or the phrase "fuer grissa ost drauka" ... or that bit from the OP, "seihin sanpi", there's a lot of stuff in here with multiple meanings that are distinct and equally valid.
Miyuki is terribly genki and kawaii. At the same time the show mocks her for causing such mo-e reactions in the viewers, even while she's appreciated for the exact same characteristics. Additionally, she has that anti-stereotype characteristic of being the extra-smart girl, a role usually played by bitter sarcastic pipsqueaks like Ruri from Nadesico. I think that's what I like best about shows like this and AzuDai, the parts where the characters go against the stereotypes they initially seem to fall into. Like Osaka's fascination with morbid topics, heheheh.
One last note: People are increasingly misconstruing the meaning of the word moe. It refers to an excessive fascination with something attractive. Line from a Japanese show: "Basically, I'm very moe about ankles." Limitations of translation apply, but the fact is that moe is a feeling generated in the audience. The character themselves might be terribly genkiand kawaii, but, um, moe is a feeling! It's not a subgenre of anime.

Will Supreme Court Deal a Major Blow to Public Sector Unions? [Updated]
Public sector unions are probably, nationwide, the number one obstacle to progress. Today a critically important case relating to public employee unions, Friedrichs v. California Teachers Association, was argued in the Supreme Court. My colleague Kim Crockett, who works with me at the Center of the American Experiment, is a leading voice in Minnesota on employee freedom. She was at the Supreme Court this morning to support Rebecca Friedrichs and »
Teamsters' wariness of Hillary could spell trouble for her and her party
Fox News reports that the Teamsters union has decided not to endorse Hillary Clinton for president at this time. According to James Rosen, the union's 26-member board decided unanimously to withhold endorsing Clinton. Rosen's Teamsters source cited three reasons. First, the Teamsters are unhappy with Clinton's recent announcement that she opposes construction of the Keystone XL pipeline. Second, they want to see whether Joe Biden will enter the race. Third, »
Why baseball players have a more effective union than football players?
Clark Griffith explains why he thinks "Tom Brady will lose and baseball players win." It's because "in Major League Baseball, grievances are heard and decided by an impartial arbitrator. In the National Football League, the person who hears and decides grievances is the commissioner." I want to focus on a more general question: Why has the Major League Baseball Players Association consistently negotiated more favorable contracts on a full range »

Maybe someone can ask Fox Butterfield. One wonders what the Times headline will be when it »
Chicago To Merge With Detroit?
The Wall Street Journal editorial page this morning explores why Chicago's debt has been downgraded to "junk" status, reviewing the unsustainable structure of its public school teacher pensions, which are only the one small aspect of Illinois's public sector pension crisis. But the precipitating event that caused Moody's to downgrade Chicago's debt to junk was the decision of the Illinois Supreme Court last week that the state may not alter »
Fred Siegel Explains It All, Part 5
Today voters in Chicago are at the polls voting in the mayoral runoff between "Rahmbo" Emanuel and a candidate much further to his left, Jesus "Chuy" Garcia, in what has been a surprisingly tight race. Emanuel may very well lose, to someone who might make de Blasio look moderate by comparison. One thing is certain: turnout will be very very low. This is increasingly typical of urban politics today, and Fred »
Yes—Let Liberals Bail Out Detroit
Back in May I suggested, less than half facetiously, that if we are indeed to consider paying reparations for slavery, the Democratic Party should have to pick up the entire tab, for all of the obvious reasons. I was reminded of that idea when stumbling across the most interesting story on the front page of today's New York Times: "Finding $816 Million, and Fast, to Save Detroit." The details are »
Public employee unions not out of the woods yet
Conservatives hoped that the Supreme Court would take the opportunity presented by Harris v. Quinn to strike down a 1977 decision holding that full-fledged public employees "who choose not to join a public-sector union may nevertheless be compelled to pay an agency fee to support union work that is related to the collective-bargaining process." The Supreme Court did not do so. This does not mean, however, that the 1977 decision »
Supreme misery for the left [or not]
The Supreme Court today issued its final two decisions of the term. One of them constitutes a clear defeat for the left. The other looks like a minor defeat.

The five center-right Justices formed the majority for that proposition. In Harris v. Quinn, the Court, again with the »
Phony fight for 15
Bloomberg News reported last week on a protest near McDonald's headquarters. The protest seemed to have something to do with the minimum wage: More than 100 McDonald's (MCD) employees and some labor and clergy members were arrested after protesting for increased wages near the fast-food chain's headquarters in Oak Brook, Illinois. The event, the latest in a series of demonstrations by workers demanding $15-an-hour pay and the right to form »
A modest proposal for the tax treatment of union dues [UPDATED]
A friend from California writes: I use software for my taxes and noticed for the first time when going through the Q & A that there's a question about union dues related to deductions for job expenses. I've never paid union dues and have never paid much attention to this, but it raises a serious issue. Unions charge a member, say, $500 per year and spend much or most of »
A major setback for the UAW
VW workers in Tennessee have rejected the United Autoworkers Union bid to unionize them. They voted against UAW representation by 712 to 626. The vote was viewed as a test case for the UAW and for unionization of industrial workers in the South. Accordingly, the Detroit Free Press calls the result a "devastating defeat" for the union. Similarly, Reuters proclaims it "a stinging defeat that could accelerate the decades-long decline »
Democrats Pay Union Members to Protest World War II Vets
It appears that the Obama administration is violating the First Rule of Holes. Yesterday the administration looked awful when it "closed" and barricaded the World War II memorial on the Mall. The memorial is, by its nature, open. There is nothing to close. And the administration knows that every day, tour groups consisting of WWII vets, now mostly in their late 80s or early 90s, come to Washington to visit »
Have it their way
Where did the fast-food protests around the country come from? In case you missed them, they are taking place at various franchisees of Burger King, Domino's, McDonald's and Wendy's near you in cities including Chicago, Detroit, Flint, Kansas City, Milwaukee, New York, and St. Louis. So report CBS News and the Los Angeles Times, among many others. The protesters seek to prevent franchisees from hiring entry level employees without marketable »
Buy American, Or Buy Union?
Old habits die hard. When people talk about the U.S. auto industry, they often think it still means G.M., Ford and Chrysler. In fact, more than a dozen automobile manufacturers make cars in the United States. The "big three" are different not because they make automobiles here, but because their work forces are unionized. Thus, when people talk about buying American cars, what they really mean, much of the time, »
Public Sector Unions Reeling In Wisconsin
Sean Higgins of the Washington Examiner had this story on Friday, but for some reason I haven't seen it widely reported or commented on. Since Wisconsin stopped forcing public employees to pay union dues against their will, union membership in that state has plummeted: According a Labor Department filing made last week, membership at Wisconsin's American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council 40 — one of AFSCME's four »
Unions' Decline Continued in 2012
The numbers are out, and for unions they are grim. The Associated Press reports: Union membership plummeted last year to the lowest level since the 1930s as cash-strapped state and local governments shed workers and unions had difficulty organizing new members in the private sector despite signs of an improving economy. Government figures released Wednesday showed union membership declined from 11.8 percent to 11.3 percent of the workforce…. Overall membership »
