WonderCon Announces First Slate of Special Guests
Popular Comics Convention Relocates to Anaheim, California for 2012
ANAHEIM, Calif., Oct. 27, 2011 — WonderCon, part of the Comic-Con International (CCI) family of nonprofit comics conventions, today announced its first group of special guests. Sergio Aragones (cartoonist, Groo, MAD, Sergio Aragones Funnies), Matt Fraction (writer, Invincible Iron Man, Casanova, Fear Itself, Mighty Thor), Mike Mignola (writer/artist/creator, Hellboy, B.P.R.D.), and J. Michael Straczynski (writer, Superman: Earth One) are among the 11 newly announced special guests to appear at the 2012 event held in Anaheim, California, March 16-18.
Coming off its most successful year in 2011, WonderCon, traditionally held in San Francisco, is relocating to a new venue next year. Due to ongoing renovations at the event's usual location, WonderCon organizers were forced to search for an alternate site for 2012.
"Because of its consistently stellar list of special guests, schedule of programs, and exhibitors WonderCon continues to be one of the most popular comics conventions in the country for fans of comic books, sci-fi, and fantasy," commented David Glanzer, WonderCon spokesperson and director of marketing and public relations for parent company CCI. "We are confident the move to Anaheim will bring the same level of excitement, if not more enthusiasm, for one of the biggest and best genre-related shows in the country."
Originally considered a regional show for Northern California, in recent years WonderCon has so closely resembled its sister show in San Diego in terms of guests and programming that it has become a full-fledged national show attracting attendees and media from all over the country and across the globe, so much so that this year some are calling it "Anaheim Comic-Con."
Additional guests announced today include Art Adams (artist, Longshot, Monkeyman & O'Brien, Tom Strong, Hulk); Mark Evanier (comics and TV writer, Blackhawk, The DNAgents, Crossfire the animated Garfield); Michael Golden (artist, The 'Nam, Micronauts, Bucky O'Hare); Steve Niles (writer/creator, 30 Days of Night, Criminal Macabre, Mystery Society); Eric Powell (writer/artist/creator, The Goon); Bob Schreck (editor-in-chief, Legendary Comics); and Fiona Staples (artist, Mystery Society, SAGA).

He's Jean Giraud—pseudonym "Moebius"—and for this year's Heroes Con, cartoonist Ben Towle and blogger Craig Fischer have teamed up to celebrate Moebius' art and 50-year career. This "mega-panel" will include a number of events. First is a screening of Moebius Redux (Hasko Baumann, 2007, 70 minutes), a documentary chronicle of Moebius' life that covers his role in Les Humanoïdes Associés and the radical revitalization of French comics in the 1970s and his contributions to such films as Alien (1979), Tron (1982), and Alejandro Jodorowsky's unproduced adaptation of Dune. The panel will continue with Craig's playful analysis of a scene from Moebius and Jean-Michel Charlier's Blueberry—simply the best comic-book Western ever—and conclude with Ben interviewing stellar writer and artist Geof Darrow (Hard Boiled, Shaolin Cowboy), himself a friend and admirer of Moebius. Join us for a wild ride on an alien pterodactyl, won't you?

The number of donations we get is so immense, this year we're going to try and pick a representative group of pieces to take to the "live" Art Auction.

SCAD: Breaking down Breakdowns
Room 201
The most important stage in the creation of sequential art is the development of breakdowns, where the visual planning of sequential art originates. To have successful breakdowns, a structured philosophical approach is necessary. Through this approach, Doug Dabbs wills show you how to create sequential art that is successful in telling a clear story that emotionally engages the reader.
Adapting Licensed Properties to Comics
Room 209

Thomas Jane Gets RAW at Dallas Comic Con 2011

Comments Off on Thomas Jane Gets RAW at Dallas Comic Con 2011
Press Release:
Thomas Jane gets RAW at Dallas Comic Con, this May 21-22
For the past two years actor Thomas Jane has turned in an amazing performance on the hit HBO series HUNG, in which he stars as an average guy doing whatever he can to get a leg up… or, uh, something like that. Tom's acting has been so appreciated, he's received two back-to-back Golden Globe nominations, and a third season is on the way. Regardless of whether you've seen the show, chances are you'll recognize Jane from one of his many memorable roles through the years, including his breakout scenes in BOOGIE NIGHTS, the Renny Harlin shark thriller DEEP BLUE SEA, his terrific interpretation of Mickey Mantle in 61*, Cameron Diaz's love interest in the sexy comedy THE SWEETEST THING, the daring and difficult true story of STANDER, his comic book adaptation of "Frank Castle" in THE PUNISHER, the controversial leading man in Frank Darabont's adaptation of Stephen King's THE MIST, and so much more. You many have also chuckled during his memorable cameo in SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD… I know I did.
In 2005, Tom made his first appearance at the Dallas Comic Con, where he debuted the very first concept art for his comic book project BAD PLANET in the show program book. Since then he's released multiple comic projects through his RAW Studios imprint, a company he's formed with business partner and accomplished creator Tim Bradstreet. Series like BAD PLANET and ALIEN PIG FARM 3000 (written by DRIVE ANGRY 3D screenwriter Todd Farmer) have wowed fans and critics with fun throwback-style stories and artwork by some of the best artists in the business. Jane is currently working with acclaimed writer Bruce Jones to revive the ALIEN WORLDS and TWISTED TALES comic books, and has already written, directed and starred in his own movie, DARK COUNTRY. But you don't have to just read about the actor's exploits, you could actually meet him and his creative partners in person at the upcoming Dallas Comic Con this May 21-22. Thomas Jane, Tim Bradstreet, Todd Farmer and Bruce Jones will all be in attendance, along with RAW collaborators Steve Niles and Bernie Wrightson. The RAW booth rarely makes a full appearance at any show outside of San Diego Comic-Con and the Long Beach Comic Con, but they'll be out in full force at the popular Texas-based event, signing autographs and meeting fans. Tom is currently scheduled to do a scheduled signing on both Saturday and Sunday during the show, and will be making frequent appearances at the booth.
This is a rare opportunity to meet one of the coolest creative teams in the industry, and if you haven't seen the guest list for the show, you'll realize this is just the icing on an already delicious cake. You can find out more information on the Dallas Comic Con (held May 21-22) at http://dallascomiccon.com – or on their Facebook page at http://facebook.com/dallas.comiccon.

Volks 1/100 "The Bang"
First, I don't really know why Volks calls this kit "The Bang" when in the manga there's more than one and they're called "bang dolls". Maybe that sounds too sexual.
Second, I'm apologizing right now about the quality of these pictures. As I'm about the describe, I was just overjoyed that it was in one piece and had to snap a few pictures to share. I didn't even have my nicer camera with me at the time, so I had to settle with the one on hand. Just FYI, the first picture accurately shows the colors on him since that's how I arranged the lighting the best. The other pictures are just to show you other angles.
I could go into the specifications on the machine, but you might as well just go to this page:
if you're interested. He's from the manga "Five Star Stories", which you should all read. Suffice to say that it's one of the most powerful machines in the series, and the pilot of the one seen in the series is pretty bad ass as well.
This was an early Christmas present from my girlfriend and I want to point out first that I do love the kit and the mech itself because I'm about to complain for a while.
Now to the details of the kit. It was a pain in the ass! Seriously, I haven't done a PG Gundam model yet, but I assume they are for the most part easier than this. First, it doesn't snap together like a Bandai kit. Every piece is held together by a generous amount of plastic cement. This wouldn't be such a problem, but he does end up seeming fairly fragile. At any one point it seems like he could fall apart. I know he won't but still. The main problem with this is that sometimes the pieces don't even feel like they fit together properly. So, you have in your hand a fragile piece, and then you're jamming another piece into it. Something is bound to brake.
I actually lost a incredibly small piece on the underside of the headdress that holds those "floating" pieces in. I was jamming the metal piece in and the really small hole piece flew off somewhere. Why couldn't they have just build the hole into the main piece? Why did you have to cement a piece that small onto a larger piece?
But the worst part, by far, is the fact that they wanted to make the piece movable. But it didn't work, they joints that are supposed to be movable just fall apart when you're trying to move them even a little bit. It actually took me like an hour and a half to put the arms on and attach the shield/sword. This really should have taken like 5 minutes.
Then there's the fact that he won't stand. Hence the box he's leaning on. What I'm going to do is try my hand at making a diorama for him. I had him standing for a minute but then a small bump into the table made him face-plant.
But again, don't take all this as meaning that I don't like it. Quite the opposite. It's a great kit and I had a lot of fun putting it together. I just think Volks could have done some things better.
And, as you can see, he still isn't "finished" I need to do some lining and touch-ups, and then of course the decals and the diorama. But I really like him, so I wanted to share :)

Oh Rudy
Former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani's incomparable leadership during an urban apocalyptic aftermath earned him a knighthood from Queen Elizabeth II and the hilariously ironic Ronald Reagan Presidential Freedom Award. But prior to September 11 Giuliani helped to successfully transform the once-seedy Times Square into a family-friendly hub of commerce that makes the renovated NorthPark Center look like a flea market. He also had city officials oust scads of artists, photographers and students from self-improved loft and warehouse spaces to make way for "economic development." The press release announcing his latest visit to DFW hints at some of the secrets to this success. Giuliani will offer suggestions on how political leaders can "solve critical strategic issues" (read: evicting the poor to make way for luxury condos) and "enhance the reputation of their organizations in the context of strongly held values" (read: using graffiti as a smokescreen to distract from an ineffective police force). Rudolph Giuliani appears at the Greater Dallas Chamber's 2nd Quarter Membership Meeting to discuss "Leadership in the Global Economy" on Thursday at the Fairmont Hotel's Regency Ballroom, 1717 N. Akard St. Tickets are $75 for Chamber members and $125 for non-members. Call 214-746-6746 or visit dallaschamber.org.

NEW YORK (Sep. 10)
Thousands of American Jews in the armed services will meet the Jewish New Year, 5703, which starts at sunset tomorrow, by attending religious services in hundreds of camps, in communities adjacent to military posts, and at 18 overseas stations, it was announced here today by the National Jewish Welfare Board.
Provisions for worship on Rosh Hashanah include field services for Jewish men in war areas, for these on maneuvers and aboard ships at sea. In cooperation with the Jewish Welfare Board, the War and Navy Departments have assigned 14 of the 68 Jewish chaplains now on active duty to conduct services in England, Ireland, Hawaii, Australia, New Caledonia, Iceland, Trinidad, Panama, Porto Rico, Cuba and other outlying posts.
High Holy Day supplies, including 29,000 Rosh Hashanah prayer books and 50,000 New Year greeting cards have been sent by the Jewish Welfare Board to sixteen overseas points. Soldiers and sailors stationed in the United States have already received 30,000 prayer books and 85,000 greeting cards. Additional materials sent include abridged bibles, hymnals, Hebrew prayer shawls, phylacteries, Hebrew Scrolls of the Law, and books. Wherever possible, gift kits, games, comfort articles, and refreshments also have been sent.
In England, services will be conducted for Jewish men with the American forces by three U.S. Jewish Army Chaplains. The Senior Jewish Chaplain with the British forces also is cooperating with the Board in providing opportunities for worship for Jewish men who cannot be reached by U.S. Chaplains. In London, the Church of Scotland will be the scene of Rosh Hashanah services conducted by Chaplain Earl Stone. In Northern Ireland the headquarters of the Presbyterian Church of Ireland, the Assembly Building in Belfast, has been given over to the Jewish chaplain for Rosh Hashanah services.
Services in the sign language will be held at Temple Emanu-El Community Center under the auspices of the Society for the Welfare of the Jewish Deaf, where nearly 600 persons will congregate. Men in city and state correctional institutions will receive New Year's cards and prayer books from the Jewish Board of Guardians.
In scores of communities throughout the country the High Holiday period will mark the beginning of intensive campaigns in behalf of the United Jewish Appeal.
Special New Year services for the refugee-immigrants have been arranged by the HIAS. Arrangements have also been made by the HIAS for Rosh Hashanah services to be held at Ellis Island to accommodate the religious needs of these temporarily detained there, Abraham Herman, president of the Hebrew Sheltering and Immigrant Aid Society, stated. Appeals for the "Rescue Through Emigration" program of HIAS will be made in the synagogues in the metropolitan area and in many parts of the nation.

When Johann Sebastian Bach applied for the position of music director at St. Thomas and St. Nicholas churches in Leipzig, he was far from being the front-runner for the position. The deliberating council really wanted Georg Philip Telemann, who turned down the offer, and then went after three more Baroque big shots. When these, too, fell through, the humble Bach was finally interviewed and hired, although a certain Councilman Platz grumbled that since the best man couldnt be persuaded to take the job, they would have to make do with a mediocrity. It was this mediocrity who promptly set to work composing what would become one of the greatest works of the sacred choral repertoire, the St. John Passion, which he premiered on his first Good Friday in his new office, on April 7, 1724. This week, Musica Angelica turns the clock back about 400 years, when it performs this magnificent work as Bach originally presented it. As in Bachs time, notes conductor Martin Haselbock, we are using eight solo singers to perform all the roles, which gives the ensemble parts more intensity than any choir could do. And intensity is what the St. John Passion is all about. In contrast to the more reflective St. Matthew Passion, says Haselbock, this is the dramatic one, with powerful ensemble scenes and very emotional arias.

Jerusalem (Dec. 3)
The Palestine Jewish counter-boycott of Arab goods from neighboring states has had so disastrous an effect that the Lebanese Government has sent a special trade envoy to Tel Aviv offering to sell Jewish merchants Lebanese agricultural products at half price, although for political reasons Lebanon cannot call off its boycott of "Zionist" goods.
The Arab press reports today that an Arab counter-proposal to the British "Federalization Plan" for Palestine is still under consideration by the Palestine Arab Higher Committee. The plan is said to include a demand for an independent Arab Government over all of Palestine; no military treaty with Britain; the expulsion to other countries of all Jews who entered Palestine after 1918; and permitting other Jews to remain in Palestine, but without any political status.

Faye, thank you so much for the kind words...
baseball2hockey - Congratulations on your first grandbaby!! I am so excited for you and she is so lucky that you will be her grandma! How wonderful that they are close by and you can help take care of her. I am forever grateful that my mom was able to help when the girls were young. And what a great trip home this summer! I look forward to hearing about it at coupon/cookie swap in Dec. Bring pictures of Sophie! Have a great baby shower. I did miss you (and your entries) at the fair last week. Can't what see what you come up with next year! :-)
Yes, they live in Durham just like us, about 10-15 mins away. And she even asked me to help her babysit when she goes back to work. Of course I will babysit. I have been babysitting for a family for the last 3 years and the little girl is just about old enough to go to school, so they wouldn't need me for much longer anyway. But babysitting my own granddaughter will be lots of joyful times ahead.
BASEBALL2HOCKEY - Sounds like you have been busy but happy !
Congratulations on the "soon to arrive" granddaughter !!
I hope they live close so you can spoil her every day
Hi Faye,
I have been following the blog constantly, just not posting anything. But thank you and everyone else for all the great deals and posts.
Me and my family are doing very well. I had been to germany to visit my brothers and family for a month back in July and August and had the best time ever. It has been 10 years since I went back. My daughter and her hubby currently are getting ready to welcome their first child within the next month. My first grandchild!!! I am all excited to meet little Sophie very soon.
So, that kind of answers what's been going on lately. Sunday is the Baby shower and I used all sorts of great deals to throw her a wonderful party with friends and family.
You also may have missed me not stopping by at the State Fair this year. Because of all the preparations for the shower and other things I never did come up with any new recipes for the food competitions at the fair. Next year again. But I AM looking forward to attending the cookie swap though.
baseball2hockey - thank you for the KFR code! And good to see you back after disappearing from the blog for a while. I hope everything is ok with you and your family. :-)
Dr. D - thanks for the HH freebie update on your e-mail.
Sorry 'bout that! I'll try to remember to begin my future Thank You notes with the username. :-)

NewswireToday - /newswire/ -
Chicago, IL, United States, 2006/02/14 - OEM and licensing agreements yield additional opportunities for the market leader in USB Authentication. Euronext NL0000400653 GTO
Aladdin Knowledge Systems (Nasdaq:ALDN), the worldwide leader in Software Digital Rights Management (DRM) and USB-based authentication solutions, and a leading innovator in enterprise secure content management, today announced the completion of two new Aladdin eToken technology licensing agreements this month. These latest deals spawn from Aladdins strengthening effort to vigorously enforce its patent rights worldwide.
Japan-based Athena Smartcard Solutions, a leading provider of smart card enabling technology, and Israel-based Algorithmic Research (AR), a worldwide provider of digital signature and data-security solutions for financial, commercial, and governmental sectors, have signed agreements with Aladdin to secure licenses to Aladdins patents 6,763,399 and 6,748,541. The agreements also provide for the companies to OEM the Aladdin eToken USB authentication key.
These agreements follow Aladdins announcement on February 9, 2006 outlining its eToken OEM and patent licensing deal with RSA Security Inc. Last year, Aladdin also announced it had reached a settlement with a U.S. distributor of China-based Feitian Technologies, in which the distributor agreed to not import, distribute, sell or offer infringing products. The agreement also provided for the payment of royalties to Aladdin.
"Aladdin patents continue to serve as significant tools for strengthening our market-leading position within the USB authentication market," said Yanki Margalit, CEO of Aladdin Knowledge Systems. "Our recent line up of OEM and technology licensing agreements illustrates that we remain increasingly diligent in fortifying our portfolio of patents and intellectual property."
About Aladdin eToken
Aladdin eToken provides cost-effective strong user authentication and password management solutions. It provides enhanced security and ensures safe information access; improved password and ID management; and secure mobility of digital credentials/certificates and keys. Aladdins product vision and innovation is evidenced by the company being awarded two key patents covering this security technology: USB devices with a smart card and USB devices as portable storage for credentials.
About the size of an average house key, the award-winning Aladdin eToken is easy to use and highly portable, providing users with powerful authentication by requiring something they have, the tamper-proof eToken, and something they know, a password. It is used for secure network logon, secure VPN, Web Sign-On, Single Sign-On, secure email, and numerous other applications. eToken USB and traditional smart card form factors are available with physical access (RFID) capabilities and one-time password technology.
The Aladdin Token Management System (TMS) enables the deployment, provisioning and maintenance of security Tokens, Smart cards and ID Badges within an organization. In addition, TMS offers seamless, and reliable management for Enterprise security services combining both PKI and non-PKI systems.

Women and men around the U.S. are assaulted by real and impostor law enforcers on a monthly if not weekly basis. Women are especially targeted for sexual assault. According to " The National Police Misconduct Statistics and Reporting Project," law enforcers are 3 times more likely to rape women than the rest of the population (Statistics explained at this site: http://injusticeeverywhere.com/?page_id=2227). Law enforcement abuse and misuse of power must be intolerable. Mandatory tape recordings must be made at every stop. Please sign this petition demanding the right to stop in a well lit, populated public area if pulled over for non-emergency related matters. It's safer for law enforcers to protect themselves in this way also. One of the sponsors of this petition was fined $500 with a point on her license for driving to a well lit, populated area on the dark, desolate PCH in Malibu after Midnight on Jan. 24th, 2011 instead of stopping in a place dimly lit with no people around. If interested in this case, please read & watch this: http://indiegogo.com/Curb-Judicial-Injustice-Prevent-Assault-Sexual-Assault-at-Traffic-Stops?a=215924&i=addr She is currently featured with the LAWLESS AMERICA documentary project about this matter.

La Petite AcademyPart of Learning Care Group
"Loved it!"
- Work/Life Balance
- Culture & Values
- Career Opportunities
- Comp & Benefits
- Senior Management
La Petite AcademyPart of Learning Care Group
I worked at La Petite Academy full-time (More than a year)
My director was the nicest person and so was the assistant director. One of the head teachers took me under her wing and gave me so much confidence. The teachers all worked together and made that place a lot of fun.
Wish the pay was greater, but for the time it was pretty good.
I have been working at La Petite Academy full-time (More than 3 years)
First and foremost, the children's personalities!
La Petite is pulling a fast one, they would like to hire for cheap. Since it's a big profit corporation they have taken so much and they are giving so little in return. We all experienced the economy meltdown and so did the teachers vacation time. They took away certain amount of time, without grandfathering older employees; they did it across the board. They did not care because it's time to restructure the company and bring in cheaper labor.
New teachers are hired for nothing pennies on the dollar. All is really needed is 12 units. The amount of paper work we have to do for each child takes away from the child. Such as, daily sheets for all classrooms. Wanting them done outside is a STATE LICENSING VIOLATION!
They need to understand that the pencils pushers should not demand so much because when you sit behind a desk it all looks easy, having 24 children in a classroom with different personalities and trying to get paperwork done does take away from the children. Sadly, we must comply, because if we are unhappy they will just bring someone else in. "Bottom LINE"
Do you really want to be that someone else? Well come on in and try it! Their insurance is by far the worst's 80/20 does not help me financially; they want one carrier for all centers. But it appears the CA employees are at little neglected, we have Kaiser out here for goodness sake use them!!!!!
I would welcome, kinder care, Bright Horizon and La Petite Academy to respond to this; which corporation pays more? Do you constantly shuffle kids around; to get a teacher home so you can meet labor hours? Do you put tons of infants and toddlers together to get more out of staff; or more money into your pocket? These are the questions; I would love for them to respond?
These are the question for anybody who works at a childcare setting, if they shuffle kids around, it's telling you that they have labor hours they need to be met. They don't care about you, because you are just an "AT WILL EMPLOYEE"! They care about their profits! I hope they are reading this I HOPE THEY COMMENT! BUT LIKE I SAID IT'S A PROFIT SCHOOL AND THEY DON'T CARE. IT'S OWNED BY JP MORGAN AND AS LONG AS the corp. IS MAKING PROFIT there is no caring. AT THE SAME TIME, THEY HAVE LEARNED FROM WALMART THAT IF YOU DON'T MAKE CERTAIN HOURS YOU WILL BE uninsured…… no vacation time, no sick time, it's do as I say or go! Back in the old days teachers were teachers, they educated out of love now the love is a daily sheet! Soon or later the market for high cost preschools/daycare will hit hard and think where you are at, because if you think parents are picking the high cost of preschool/daycare you are wrong. The mom and pops preschool would be more popular and the mom and pops schools are the ones that will surly show their employees care.
Advice to Management
Please slow down on the Daily sheets, treat teachers how they should be treated. Before the corporation implements any daily sheets or new curriculum, visit schools to see how it can be incorporated. Witness the love and respect, witness the paperwork witness a teacher that works hard. I DARE you to come to a center for a week. Think thru what you want teachers to do, think thru this whole note because like I have stated before soon or later the market for preschool will crash and when it does what's next?
I have been working at La Petite Academy full-time (Less than a year)
This Company has really striving to be the best. Under new management the environment is wonderful and everyone is working as a team to become the best educational environment for the children in the community.
I have been with the company a short amount of time and have not seen any negitive thus far.
Advice to Management
Keep up the good work. The change has been for the better of the staff and the children.

CBS News has named Paul Ryan and Nancy Kramer as SPs of 48 Hours Mystery. Both currently serve as producers of the program.
Ryan joined 48 Hours Mystery in 1999 and has been with CBS News since 1997. Kramer came to the program in 2001, and joined CBS News in 1993.
Click continued for the CBS News release…
48 HOURS MYSTERY producers Paul Ryan and Nancy Kramer have been named Senior Producers of the CBS News program. In their new positions, Ryan and Kramer will facilitate the development of unique programming under the 48 HOURS umbrella and will continue to produce weekly 48 HOURS MYSTERY broadcasts.
48 HOURS MYSTERY, broadcast Saturdays (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network, is television's most popular true-crime series, investigating shocking cases and compelling real-life dramas with journalistic integrity and a cutting-edge visual style. 48 HOURS has received critical acclaim for both its weekly broadcasts and its frequent specials, earning numerous awards including three Peabodys, 17 Emmys, and four RTNDA Edward R. Murrow Awards.
Ryan joined 48 HOURS MYSTERY as a producer in 1999. Before making the move to 48 HOURS, Ryan was a producer at CBS News Productions (1997-99), where his credits included the 13-hour "Century of Country" broadcast on the Nashville Network and episodes of A&E's Biography series.
Prior to his position at CBS News, Ryan was at Sports Illustrated Television (1994-97), where he served as a producer on NBC's 1996 Olympic Preview, the "Sports Illustrated For Kids Show" on CBS, segments for ABC's Wide World of Sports and the annual Sports Illustrated swimsuit show.
His recent credits include some of 48 HOURS' most acclaimed broadcasts, including the Kimberly Dozier special "Flashpoint," reported by Katie Couric, for which he won a Christopher Award, and "Death, Duty and Dishonor," a story that was subsequently made into a feature film.
Since joining 48 HOURS MYSTERY in 2001, Kramer has developed some of CBS News' highest rated primetime programming, including hours on Elizabeth Smart, John Ramsey, and a celebrity tribute to news legend Walter Cronkite. She served as senior producer for the summer mystery series "Vanished" and won a Christopher award for her work as a senior producer of the CBS special "In God's Name," which documented filmmakers Jules and Gedeon Naudet's spiritual journey after 9/11.
Kramer first joined CBS News as a producer for "Street Stories," "America Tonight" and the CBS EVENING NEWS weekend editions (1993-95). She was recognized with an Emmy for ABC's millennium coverage, where she served as a producer for "20/20" and "Primetime Live" (1996-2000), before returning to CBS News as a producer for 60 MINUTES (2000-01).
Kramer began her career at FOX Television, where she held news editor and producer positions at "A Current Affair" (1990-93) and "The Reporters" (1988-90).
She was graduated from Vassar College. Ryan was graduated from Pace University and received his master's degree from the University of Chicago.

can't ssh into shell account
I recently installed fedora 5. Now when I try to ssh into a shell account with cyberspace.org it just hangs.
Weird thing is the other computer I have (Redhat9) has no problem loging in via SSH.
Could this be an issue with SSH version?
Or maybe is it SeLinux.
Any ideas would be appreciated
Ok I can't even connect to www.cyberspace.org via firefox on the fedora 5 computer. Yet the redhat9 connects no problem.
This is a rather old shell account. I'm just curious why my fedora 5 computer can't even connect to the site.
Can your FC5 machine SSH into any other computer?
For what it's worth, the link you gave doesn't load for me either. I tried firefox and IE, so I think it may be a site issue
For what its worth I have 2 kernel versions availble on boot. Decided to choose older one everything worked fine. I can go to http://www.cyberspace.org. I can ssh into my old shell account there. Everything works fine.
I have a question. How can I make my older kernel install my default in grub.conf?
any input appreciated.

FDA Issues Draft Guidance Intended to Help Ensure the Proper Labeling of Honey and Honey Products
CFSAN Constituent Update
April 8, 2014
FDA is issuing draft guidance to help members of the food industry ensure they are properly labeling honey and honey products, and to remind them that honey and honey products must not be misbranded or adulterated under the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The proper labeling of these products helps to ensure that consumers understand the contents of honey and honey products available for purchase and can differentiate between them.
The draft guidance summarizes FDA's legal authority over honey and honey products; provides a commonly used definition of honey; and offers advice on labeling issues such as the floral source of honey, blends of honey and other sweeteners, and blends of honey and other ingredients, such as flavors. It also describes some of the measures FDA takes to guard against honey adulterated with cane sugar, corn syrup, or residues of chloramphenicol or fluoroquinolones.
All interested parties are invited to comment on the draft guidance document.
Additional Information:
- Draft Guidance for Industry: Proper Labeling of Honey and Honey Products

Steven Crowder Video #13: BARACK FOR BRAZIL!! Featuring an All Star Cast
President Obama seems concerned with endearing himself to the people of all countries except his own. Most recently, we've seen him pandering to the people of Brazil.
