Update: Border Patrol Agent Shooting
New details behind the Border Patrol agent killed last week along our border. The head of the Border Patrol agents union says agent Nicolas Ivie apparently opened fire on two fellow agents thinking they were armed smugglers and was killed when they returned fire.
National Border Patrol Council President George Mccubbin said that the two sets of agents approached an area where a sensor had been activated. He said they arrived from different directions early Tuesday when Agent Ivie opened fire.
Acting Cochise County Sheriff Rod Rothrock confirmed the scenario but would not say if ivie was the first to shoot.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - A transient from Colorado was charged Tuesday with murder and assault for allegedly driving his Dodge Avenger down Los Angeles' crowded Venice Beach boardwalk, killing an Italian tourist and injuring 16 other people.
A felony complaint outlined 34 counts against Nathan Louis Campbell, 38, and says he acted willfully. However, it provides no clues about why he allegedly maneuvered around a vehicle barrier early Saturday evening and plowed into tourists and vendors along the popular walkway along the Pacific.
Killed was 32-year-old Alice Gruppioni, who was on her honeymoon.
Campbell was scheduled to be arraigned later Tuesday. He is charged with one count of murder, 16 counts of assault with a deadly weapon and 17 counts of hit-and-run. If convicted, he could face life in prison.
Deputy District Attorney Victor Avila said in a statement that he will ask bail to be set at $1.48 million.
Police said Campbell has been in California only a short time, and it's not clear what brought him to Venice Beach on the summer weekend. Only a sketchy picture of him has emerged. He had no fixed address and no state driver's license, and police have found no evidence he was working in the state.
Campbell has ties to Colorado, where he lived as recently as last year. He was evicted from his apartment in Denver for not paying $655 in rent in March 2012, records show.
He was sentenced to five days in jail after pleading guilty to shoplifting at a Denver supermarket in February 2009. Five months later, he was accused of trespassing at an outdoor mall in Denver and sentenced to 10 days in jail, but instead served time in a sheriff's work program, said Melissa Drazen-Smith, assistant director of prosecutions at the Denver city attorney's office.
Investigators believe Campbell, who was arrested after walking into a police station several hours after Saturday's rampage, was driving his own car, Los Angeles police Cmdr. Andrew Smith said.
"I think we can safely say, when he turned himself in ... he implicated himself in the Venice incident," Smith has said.
Earlier Tuesday, the Los Angeles City Council called for new street barriers to block unwanted vehicles from getting onto the boardwalk. A motion, approved unanimously, urged police and city officials to immediately erect temporary barriers at the most dangerous intersections along the boardwalk, which draws tens of thousands of visitors on weekends.
The council also asked for a two-week study that will assess where to install permanent posts or other barriers to keep cars away from pedestrians.
Councilman Mike Bonin, who represents Venice, said nearly 30 streets run into the boardwalk and it's common to have confused drivers accidentally crossing onto it. He said the rampage highlighted a "huge risk" for pedestrians.
"It is clear significant safeguards need to be taken," the motion said.
When Gruppioni was hit, her husband, Christian Casadei, was at her side. He suffered minor injuries.
In a statement Monday, Casadei called his wife "an immense gift: a gift that no one can ever understand. She gave happiness and joy to anyone who had the luck to know her."
One person was critically injured and two others were taken to hospitals in serious condition. The 13 others all received less severe injuries.
Police said Campbell initially parked outside a hotel and surveyed the boardwalk, where hundreds of people were sitting at cafes, walking along the seashore or shopping for jewelry, art or other items at vending stands.
Surveillance video showed a driver getting into the Dodge, steering around a vehicle barrier and careening through the crowd.
Witnesses said the car was traveling at least 35 mph. It later turned up on a side street less than 2 miles away.
A makeshift boardwalk memorial for Gruppioni included a note in Italian expressing condolences and a painting that reads, "Venice loves you, Alice."
Associated Press writers P. Solomon Banda in Denver, Colleen Barry in Milan, and Raquel Maria Dillon in Los Angeles contributed to this report.

Could my depression meds be causing me to not lose weight?
- Q: Could my meds be causing me to not lose weight? I take Trazadone, Remeron, Synthroid, Zoloft, Lortab, and Abilify.
- A: Weight gain has been reported as a common side effect of trazodone, occurring in up to 4.5 percent of people taking it. Weight gain has also been reported as a common side effect of Remeron, occurring in up to 12 percent of people taking the drug compared to only 2 percent of those not taking it. Studies done with Abilify show that people taking it were more likely to gain weight than people taking a placebo. Weight gain occurs in around 1 percent of people who take Zoloft.

Asparagus Under Wraps
The asparagus in this dish is steamed lightly then wrapped with cheese and Parma ham and baked till the cheese is melted. Italian Fontina, if you can get it, has the right squidgy consistency, but the recipe also works well with the sharp flavour of Parmesan.
Serves 2 as a light lunch or 4 as a starter
|12 asparagus stalks (thick ones if possible)
|6 oz (175 g) Fontina or Parmesan (Parmigiano Reggiano)
|12 slices Parma ham, total weight approximately 5 oz (150 g)
|To serve:
|freshly grated Parmesan (Parmigiano Reggiano)
|Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 6, 400°F (200°C).
|Oven temperatures and Conversions
|Click here for information
|You will also need a solid baking sheet, lightly oiled.
This recipe comes from Delia's Summer Collection.
To cook the asparagus: take each stalk in both hands and bend and snap off the woody end, then trim with a knife to make it neater. Lay the asparagus stalks on an opened fan steamer (or an ordinary steamer will do) – they can be piled one on top of the other. Season with salt, place them in a frying pan or saucepan, pour in about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of boiling water from the kettle, then put a lid on and steam for 4-6 minutes. If you're using Fontina, slice it into thin strips using a sharp knife. If you're using Parmesan, coarsely grate it.
Now lay the slices of Parma ham out flat on a work surface, divide the strips of cheese along the centre of each slice of ham (or sprinkle with the grated Parmesan if using that), then simply lay an asparagus stalk at one end and roll the whole lot up fairly firmly. All this can be done well in advance; then, when you're ready to cook, lay the rolls on the baking sheet and pop on to the highest shelf of the oven for just 5 minutes, or until the cheese begins to melt. Serve piping hot with a little grated Parmesan to sprinkle over.

- For those running Windows PCs with XP and Vista operating systems, this should be relatively painless. First you'll need to download a special plug-in for your Windows Media Player that will allow you to listen to this format directly. Think of this new plug-in kind of like a switch to go from AM to FM on your radio. REMEMBER: This particular plug-in, for Windows Media Player, is ONLY for Windows XP, Vista or OLDER systems. (It is NOT necessary for those running Windows 7 and higher.)
- Click HERE To Download The aacPlus Plug-in Direct From Our Website To Your Computer
- When prompted, save the file to your computer in a place where you'll be able to find it later after the download. The file is small, should only take a few seconds to download, and it's really easy to set up.
- Once the file downloads to your computer, make sure your Windows Media Player is closed and go to the place you saved the plug-in.
- "Double click" on the file to install it on your computer. Once the installation is complete you "should" have 2 new icons that appear on your desktop. One says "Tuner2 - your ears will know" and the other says "AAC-aacPlus Plug-in Read Me". You can delete both from your desktop once you've begun listening to the aacPlus webcast.
- Click the Windows Media Player Icon below to start the stream.
NOTE: The link below ONLY works on Windows XP and older systems.
If that doesn't seen to work, you can try opening Windows Media Player back up manually, and go to your file menu (you might have to "right" mouse click in the bar at the very top of the player to get the file menu). Then pull down to (Open URL). In the box, copy and paste this link in. (icyx://18.104.22.168:8031).
If neither one of the above seems to be working email us at email@example.com for help.

Wadi Fukin village, which sits just west of Bethlehem along the 1967 border, was destroyed when the Israeli army dynamited much of the town during and in the years following the 1948 war, and then rebuilt when residents returned almost 20 years later. It was the only time, as far as many Palestinians can recall, that residents rebuilt a town destroyed in the Arab-Israeli war of 1948. Now the town's 1,200 residents are facing what many fear could be its second death. The neighbouring Beitar Illit settlement has the highest birthrate of any settlement in the occupied West Bank and currently houses more than 40,000 Israeli settlers. The expanding settlement, deemed illegal under international law, continues to take more of Wadi Fukin's land.
Ironically, it is often the men from Wadi Fukin who run the jackhammers and build the settlement's multi-story homes. Land confiscation, along with cheap Israeli produce that has flooded the Palestinian markets, is putting farmers in this verdant valley out of business and pushing them into construction jobs within the settlement. Under the proposed route of the Israeli wall, Wadi Fukin will eventually be surrounded on three sides, cutting the village off from the rest of the West Bank.

How safe are nanoparticles?
Boom in nanotechnology points up need to evaluate health risks; latest study suggests asbestoslike effect.
By By Gregory M. Lamb
Small is beautiful when it leads to new products that do great things, like speed up computers or cleanse the environment. But the nanoscale-sized particles (a nanometer is one-billionth of a meter) behind some of these advances are also raising questions about their safety, questions that are not yet thoroughly understood or researched.
In a study published May 20 in the journal Nature Nanotechnology, researchers found that one form of carbon nanotubes – long, thin multiwalled ones, whose shape bears a resemblance to asbestos fibers – appears to act like asbestos, causing damage to the lungs and potential serious illness. The nanotubes were injected into mice, not breathed in, leaving open the question of whether humans breathing in the nanotubes would be exposed to a health risk.
"If the fiber looks like asbestos, it may act like asbestos," says Kristen Kulinowski, director of the International Council on Nanotechnology at Rice University in Houston, who has seen the paper. "Studies like this point to the need to understand the impacts of nanomaterials on human health and on the environment."
According to one forecast, nanotube sales are expected to reach $1 billion to $2 billion annually within four to seven years. They are expected to be used in electronics, automobiles, drugs, and energy-efficient batteries.
Early this month, a House science committee approved a bill that would pump billions of dollars in US government funding into research on new applications for nanoparticles. The National Nanotechnology Initiative Amendments Act of 2008 includes a provision for a position within the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy called the Coordinator for societal dimensions of nanotechnology, which is expected to urge researchers to consider health, safety, and environmental effects in their research.
But many close observers say that's not enough, and that the bill ought to include funds earmarked specifically for health and safety research. Outside experts unsuccessfully urged the committee to set aside 10 percent of the funds specifically for environmental, health, and safety research.
"There is a yawning knowledge gap between nanomaterials entering commerce now and what we know about their safety," said Andrew Maynard, chief science adviser to the nonprofit Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies (PEN) at the Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington, in testimony before the committee in April. "This uncertainty over how to develop nanotechnologies safely is hamstringing regulators, impeding nano businesses, and confusing consumers. In short, moving toward the nanotechnology future without a clear understanding of the possible risks, and how to manage them, is like driving blindfolded."
Dr. Maynard is a coauthor on the carbon-nanotubes study.
Meanwhile, three or four new products containing nanotechnology enter the market every week, according to a study released by the PEN last month. Well over 600 products already advertise their nano-content, viewing it as a marketing plus. But companies aren't required to label their use of nanomaterials, so that number represents a "significant undercount" of what's on the market, says David Rejeski, PEN director. Some of the nanomaterials products now on the market include socks, bandages, washing machines, lithium-ion batteries, refrigerators, camera lenses, sunscreens, toothbrushes, baby bottles, plush toys, the Xbox 360, pants, cosmetics, toothpaste, sheets, towels, pillows, and chopsticks.
More than 200 products contain nanosilver, which has been shown to suppress the growth of bacteria. On May 1 a group of citizen-advocacy groups filed a petition with the Environmental Protection Agency asking that the EPA ban products – with nanosilver. The EPA has the authority to regulate nanosilver as a pesticide, says George Kimbrell, a staff attorney for the nonprofit International Center for Technology Assessment, one of the groups calling for the ban. "We believe very strongly in the consumer's right to know" that they've been exposed to these materials, he says.
Earlier this year, two researchers at Arizona State University found that socks impregnated with nanosilver particles to kill odor-causing bacteria released the particles into wash water, raising questions about the nanoparticles seeping into the environment. Another study this spring from a researcher at the University of Missouri found that nanosilver particles kill beneficial bacteria needed by wastewater treatment plants to remove ammonia from water.
A nanoparticle is defined as having at least one dimension smaller than 100 nanometers. A sheet of paper or a human hair is about 100,000 nanometers thick. At these sizes, nanoparticles exhibit unusual characteristics. Many of these qualities, such as the ability of nanoparticles to transfer heat efficiently, are what make them so attractive to researchers and manufacturers.
But nanoparticles can become more toxic as well, as is the case with nanosilver particles. "Something that's safe at a large size suddenly becomes highly active and potentially dangerous when it's made smaller," Maynard says.
The problem of determining safety is complicated. In some cases, adequate ways to test the particles have not been found.
"It's hard to measure anything at that [tiny] scale," PEN's Dr. Rejeski says. Nanoparticles that have been bonded to another substance – such as those found in a tennis racket's frame or an auto fuel line – pose fewer problems. But even then concerns remain: When the product is thrown away, will it degrade over time? Will it be crushed into more mobile particles as part of the disposal process?
Some $88 billion of products incorporating nanotechnology were sold in 2007, according to Lux Research, a research firm specializing in emerging technologies. Last year nanotech start-up companies received $702 million in venture capital in 61 deals, Lux says. By 2014, it estimates, $2.6 trillion in manufactured goods will incorporate nanotechnology, about 15 percent of the worldwide total. More and more are going into high-profile products. Professional golfer Trevor Immelman won the 2008 Masters tournament with clubs whose shafts had nanoparticles of metals fused onto them. And nanophosphates are the "secret sauce" in the brawny lithium-ion battery that will power GM's all-electric Volt car.
But this sunny scenario for nanotech's future relies on continued consumer acceptance. So far, surveys show the US is largely unaware and uninformed, having neither a strongly positive nor negative view.
Dietram Scheufele, a professor of life sciences communication and journalism at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, says public awareness of nanotech hasn't changed at all since 2004, when he began his surveys. Scientists are more apt to be concerned about health and safety issues than the public is, he says. "Scientists aren't saying there are problems," Dr.
Scheufele says. "They're saying, 'We don't know. The research hasn't been done.'"
In a worst-case scenario, nanoparticles could generate the kind of negative reaction that genetically modified crops have received in Europe, he says.
No bills to specifically regulate nanoparticles are now before Congress, says Matthew Nordan, the president of Lux Research. But the industry is very aware of environmental concerns and wants to know what its liabilities will be, he says.

I've had one close friend and two co-workers that lost 20 to 40 lbs. on
the Slim Fast diet. My friend kept it off too but both co-workers
gained it all back when they quit.
Diets don't work.
Lifestyle changes do...
Pam got in the habit of eating healthier and taking her dogs for long
walks as part of her lifestyle. The two that gained it back went back to
their old eating habits after losing the weight. They also did not
habitually exercise.
Peace! Om

Proceeding sentence by sentence, city by city, and backwards in time, poet and essayist Kazim Ali details the struggle of coming of age between cultures, overcoming personal and family strictures to talk about private affairs and secrets long held. The text is comprised of sentences that alternate in time, ranging from discursive essay to memoir to prose poetry. Art, history, politics, geography, love, sexuality, writing, and religion, and the role silence plays in each, are its interwoven themes. Bright Felon is literally "autobiography" because the text itself becomes a form of writing the life, revealing secrets, and then, amid the shards and fragments of experience, dealing with the aftermath of such revelations. Bright Felon offers a new and active form of autobiography alongside such texts as Theresa Hak Kyung Cha's Dictee, Lyn Hejinian's My Life, and Etel Adnan's In the Heart of the Heart of Another Country.

National Park Guide: Oregon's Crater Lake
Visitors to Oregon's only national park can explore old-growth forest, bicycle a 33-mile cliff-top loop, fish for trout and salmon or hike 33 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail.
But the jewel of Crater Lake National Park is the lake itself.
"On a clear day, to see the blue sky and have the blue water is just so breathtaking," says Kim Faucher, a Medford, Ore., artist who visits regularly. "When people come and see the lake, they are just so astounded."
PHOTOS: Top 10 most-visited national parks
PHOTOS: Readers visit America's national parks
PHOTOS: National parks' scenic views, wildlife
At 1,943 feet, Crater Lake is the deepest lake in the USA and the seventh-deepest in the world. Fed only by rain and melting snow, it's also considered the cleanest. Visitors can take a guided boat tour around the lake, swim or dive its depths.
Most tourists come during the short summer season. But the park is open year-round and offers snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and camping. Park rangers lead hikes in the snow. "We are welcoming people even when there's 10 feet of snow on the ground," says Marsha McCabe, chief of interpretation for the park. "It's unlike any other place on Earth."
STORY: More people visit national parks but spend less time in them
SPECIAL EDITION: Must-have guide to national parks
Repeat visitors say the changing nature of the park is one of its best features. "You can come here over and over again," Faucher says. "I always find something different."

About the park
Size: 183,224 acres
Visitors: 423,551 in 2011
Established: 1902
History: Crater Lake was created by the eruption and collapse of Mount Mazama about 7,000 years ago. For centuries, Native Americans used it as a place for vision quests and prayer. It was discovered by Europeans in 1853, and received protection as part of the Cascade Range Forest Reserve in 1893.
When visiting: The park is about 250 miles south of Portland and 100 miles north of the California border. It has no physical address. The Steel Visitor Center, at park headquarters, is open year-round. Visitor info: 541-594-2211.
Of note: The park is one of the snowiest inhabited areas in America, with an average of 533 inches of snow annually.
Contributing: Loew also reports for the Statesman Journal in Salem, Ore.

Kenny Chesney Debuted As The Number One Album
Congratulations to Kenny Chesney, whose new album, Life on a Rock, debuted as the number-one album in the nation this week, topping Billboard's all-genre album sales chart, the Billboard 200, as well as the Top Country Albums chart, with first-week sales of 153,000, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The Life on a Rock album — ironically, a group of songs that began as something that Kenny only envisioned sharing with some of his closest friends — has now become his seventh album to debut atop the Billboard 200. Kenny recalls the beginning of Life on a Rock: "It was just me and a pen and a paper — and over time. And I think that that was good for me 'cause I was able to really settle with a lyric and settle, and in my head, I already had the music written in my head for a lot of these songs. I just hadn't literally done it yet."

Political Science degree programs explore various political systems and public policies, covering subjects ranging from international relations to political philosophy. Students undertaking a degree in political science can specialize in a number of fields, including human rights, organizational management, and government policies. Some of the courses offered in these programs also intersect with other disciplines such as sociology, philosophy, history, behaviorism, statistics, and law.
Types of Political Science Degrees and Coursework Most universities and colleges categorize political science programs under the Liberal Arts or Social Sciences departments. A degree in political science can be pursued at an undergraduate, graduate or post-graduate level, but one needs to have a strong background in political science in order to join an advanced program. Students can focus either on the theoretical aspects of political science or opt for courses that have an applied approach such as public administration. The methods and techniques used in study of political science include surveys, case studies, developing models, research, and analysis of historical documents. Most universities and colleges require students to have a satisfactory academic standing in order to be accepted into an entry level program, and a specified grade point average needs to be maintained throughout the academic program. Some universities also specialize in offering online political science degree programs that enable people to study from home at their own schedule. Bachelor's degree programs are usually general in nature and cover a wide variety of courses related to political science, but students can major in a field of their choice. Master's degree programs enable students to specialize in a certain aspect of political science. Some of the highly specialized master's degrees include Master of Public Administration, Organizational Management, and Master of Arts in Diplomacy. A variety of PhD programs in political science are also available. Political science students can benefit from a number of scholarships and grants. Some institutions also provide funds for research projects. Career Opportunities and Academic Prospects From exploring the function of governments to building models for development, political science graduates can contribute across the spectrum of political systems and public policy. People with advanced degrees such as master's and doctorate in political science stand a better chance of securing a lucrative and good position. But even students with an undergraduate degree can find many interesting career avenues such as political journalism or campaign management. Individuals with a theoretical background usually pursue careers in teaching or research. Some political science graduates even choose specialized career paths such as being political commentators or political activists. Political science graduates also acquire many skills that play an important role in one's career. These include communication & negotiation skills, analytical thinking, and administrative abilities.
Q:Who should prefer the online masters in diplomacy over the campus-based one?
A:The online Masters in Diplomacy is a perfect program for those individuals who are employed and find it difficult to squeeze in time to attend a campus based program. It offers flexibility and exemplary time management as students can study from work or home.

Summers in Baltimore are humid, sweaty, and with a chance of rain. Baltimore is home to Otakon, the east coast's largest anime and Japanese pop culture convention. Otakon took place on August 9-11, 2013. This three day anniversary celebration brought in over 30,000 attendees from all over the eastern seaboard. Headlining guests included TM Revolution, Yoko Kanno, Homemade Kazoku, Shingo Adachi, Crispin Freemen, and more. There was a huge number of guests this year in celebration for 20 years of Otakon.
Attendees of all ages and cultures carried their complimentary blue balloons to opening ceremonies. Otakon 2013 chair, Terry Chu, asked who in the audience loves shoujo, yaoi, and other anime genres. Prizes were given to people who had Otakon perfect attendance – 20 years of loyalty, now that's hardcore. What was nice is that we were able to see a cultural display of dancers and drummers to kick things off. We were introduced to the guests in a very creative way; a short animation of the Otakon mascots were making plans for a birthday party and were figuring out the guest list and what music to play. The party guests were the guests of honor and the music choices were the musical guests of honor.
Otakon had plenty of panels by fans and by industry. There was a healthy balance of each. Con Culture covered the history of nerdy events from getting a bunch of nerds to a room with alcohol to what it is today. It was covered from an academic sociological perspective on how con culture has evolved and changed through the years. The Anime Industry panel had vets from ADV, Animerica, Anime Eigo, and other founding companies from the start of the domestic anime industry. There was much anecdotal tales of how a series was brought over back then. One of my favorite panels was the cat panel. To give you an idea how popular this panel was, there was a huge line that tailed around the convention center. The panelists covered cats in Japanese culture and some notable cats in anime (Korin in "Dragonball," Kuroneko in "Trigun," Luna and Artemis in "Sailor Moon.") Another panel that I really enjoyed was Power Rangers vs. Super Sentai, it was an analytic comparison between the Saban adaptation and the original Toei show. We got to see clips from the original and sang along to various super sentai opening themes. There was a lot to see and do at Otakon 2013.
Unique aspects of Otakon were a plenty. I enjoyed the MST3K themed showing of "Origin: Spirits of the East." We had people reenact the Satellite of Love crew; we even had puppets of Crow and Tom Servo! This really had the audience laughing in the aisles on late Friday night. Otakon also had their own Lounge 21 complete with a cash bar and swing dancing. No dress code required, just come in and show off your best Charleston. To celebrate the 20th anniversary, Otakon had a museum that featured past programs, badge art, t-shirts, mascot designs, etc from Otakon past. Otakon also has a local celebrity, the iced cold water guy. If you have friends who attend Otakon, they'll tell you about the rapping water vendor that sells ice cold water for just one dollar.
The dealers hall was pretty huge – it took me most of late Friday afternoon to scour around to see what was there. Wig dealers, plushies, Lolita fashion, and so many figure dealers. If you are into figure collecting, this is the place to go. The art show also featured exclusive never before seen illustration work by Nobuhiro Watsuki of "Rurouni Kenshin" fame.
The main event was the concerts. I personally knew people who flew out from the west coast to Otakon just for Yoko Kanno, TM Revolution, and Homemade Kazoku. The Saturday night concert was huge – hardcore fans lined up outside the arena to ensure they would have the best seats in the house. Lines circled around the arena – people were willing to stand the humidity and heat for a chance to see TM Revolution and Homemade Kazoku perform live. Homemade Kazoku performed first – they are best known for their work on "Bleach" and "Naruto." Their sound can be summarized by a blend of early 90s hip hop and soul. Fans chanted "arigato!" to show their appreciation for Homemade Kazoku. After that set, TM Revolution took over the stage. "Heart of Sword" and "Invoke" really got the audience riled for excitement. After the epic performance, both Homemade Kazoku and TM Revolution performed together live for the first time when they performed, "2 Tomorrow Meets Resistance." For many, this concert was Otakon 2013′s best event.
(Note: We were unable to cover the Yoko Kanno concert due to our flight schedule conflicting with the 1PM concert time.)
I would recommend Otakon if you enjoy a mix of fandom and industry events. If there is a Japanese guest that you want to see, definitely take the effort to plan a weekend in Baltimore. Otakon has a different vibe from most cons; there is definitely an appreciation for 80s and 90s anime. Anime News Network's I Love the 80s panel had veteran anime fans fill up one of the programming rooms. If you are a cosplayer, there's a ton of places for nice photos and the people at the series specific cosplay meets are very friendly. While Otakon is a huge con with over 30,000 warm bodies, there's something from every otaku. Definitely check out Otakon at least once in your otaku life and you won't regret it. Just remember to fill up on that iced cold water.

Services that are now offered by the Lycos portal will be transferred to the Infoseek site. Both sites are owned by Rakuten Inc., Japan's biggest Internet shopping mall operator.
Lycos is powered by AlltheWeb in most countries. In Japan, however, the search engine used has been Wisenut, owned by the LookSmart company. Wisenut is now loosing its foothold in Japan, as the new unified portal will be powered by Infoseek.
Search engine old timers will remember the American Infoseek, and the Japanese version is indeed an offshoot of that search engine. However, today it is purely a Japanese endeavor.

Voice Compare » Rankin Bass Classics » King Moonracer
Comparision of the voice over actors who have been the voice of King Moonracer with sound clips and images.
King Moonracer is a character from the original Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer special made by Rankin Bass productions from 1964. King Moonracer is a winged lion whom is the Monarch of the Island of Misfit Toys whom goes around the world finding strange toys that children do not want and take them into his island until he can find them a new home. Moonracer genuinely cares for his subjects and is a benevolent and reasonable ruler whom is willing to aid those in his island whom are of need. In the 1964 TV special Moonracer was a reasonable authority figure who did aid Rudolph and friends but in the 2001 DTV movie that was based off of the Rankin Bass classics he was the one who needed some help.

EDITOR'S OPINIONToday on the Rankin Bass VC section we take a look at the king of the Island of Misfit Toys... KING MOONRACER! We shall begin with the 1964 classic Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer in which Stan Francis was the voice of King Moonracer. Stan's voice and performance for the role was rather suiting as it did have a regal and majestic feel to it (and suiting Moonracer's benevolent persona). So in other words Stan's work as King Moonracer was another classic example of the voice acting in this classic TV special if I do say so myself.
In the 2001 DTV film Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and the Island of Misfit Toys, King Moonracer appeared and was voiced by Colin Murdock. While there are those whom were bothered by how Moonracer was basically a cameo whom was having some bad dental problems. But Colin's voice work for the role did genuinely suit on how Moonracer was depicted in the film as Colin's voice and performance still sounded rather regal for the role even if Moonracer pretty much spent his screentime having a terrible toothache. While Colin ends up playing Moonracer rather differently from his 1964 counterpart it is still a good performance nevertheless and an alright example of his work. Overall I will say that Stan's work on the role is classic but Colin's wasn't too bad either.

Stan Francis had much more majesty in his voice. Though to be fair to Colin, the movie completely changed Moonraiser's character.Reply

It does yes. You may need to get a different client from them though and I think that you need to alter the registry "run" key to include "/citrex"
Better off contacting them for the latest info - my experience is a few years old.
Anyone know if Securus works on Terminal Servers? I.e detects each individual session on the server?
It does yes. You may need to get a different client from them though and I think that you need to alter the registry "run" key to include "/citrex"
Better off contacting them for the latest info - my experience is a few years old.
Where do I start....
Yes it does detect each session on the Terminal Server, and runs a copy of securusn.exe per user.
However, in our experience this is where the good news ends. We used to regularly get an error saying the DB was corrupt on the TS, requiring securus to be removed form the TS and re-installed. I would say we used to get at best 3 days between having to re-install. (Don't forget as you need to switch to install mode to do this, so there should be no users on the TS).
We also had an issue where a Sophos process was interacting with a Securusn process even after users had logged of. This meant that the user's registry was hung open until the terminal server was rebooted. You would have to do the maths based on your usage pattern, but here that resulted in over 150 profiles being active on a TS at the end of the day! We had to implement nightly reboots then run delprof to remove these hung profiles.
To be fair to all companies, this issue may have been down to our config, but no solution was found by any party.
The last issue was with securusn processes consuming excessive CPU cycles when the users session became idle. I never got to the bottom of the issue entirely, but it seams that when a thin client blanked the screen (in a screensaver kind of way), the session was marked as idle on the TS. The securusn.exe process running in the context of the user would then use all available cycles on it's processor. In our case 4 processes like this and the whole server stopped as it was at 100%.
I don't know why this happened, but technical support never got to the bottom of it before it made our TS system unusable.
Like I have said above these are my experiences and may not be representative - just a report of what I saw.
If anyone wants any more info, feel free to PM me.
Thanks for your experiences - I am arranging a 2 week trial now - so we can see if it works well with my terminal server - or not!
We have it working fine here. Just put the normal client on your terminal server and edit the registry entry to add the securus server IP:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Run
In the Securus Network Client entry add the IP of your securus box between securusn.exe and uselocaldrive
Netman (25th February 2008)
Yeh I'll let you know how I get on. So you use securus now Netman? Have to admit I am a bit worried about the overhead of running it - i.e suddently having lots of incidents to investigate.
You do get alot of rubbish reported, but you soon learn to be able to spot the wheat amonst the chaf...
Feel free to shout if you need any info...
We are at the end of our trial now and it has been very interesting. We didn't do the big blitz of warning students as most of them think we know everything about what they do anyway, but being able to have proof was good.
I now just have to think carefully whether to go with them or to spend the money on a remote control solution a la Ranger Remote Desktop, etc.
I think Securus is a great piece of software. As Netman says it does pick up some false violations but it doesn't take long to sort through these. One button press and they're gone.

That's good to know! Got Securus Rep coming tomorrow for a chat.
Thanks all!
Oh well he wanted more than a chat! He brough a Securus box and we set it up for a trial. So far looks very impressive - just need to reboot my Terminal Server after 3pm so it picks up the client software & the firewall change I made to GPO (needs UDP port 87 open).
Admin interface is clear and easy to use - the system seems very powerful - i've done a few tests so far and been impressed:
1) opened regedit - securus picked that up and flagged it as a major hacking concern
2) swore alot in MS word - securus picked that up too
3) typed in kill you and securus picked that up as bullying.
It even lets you filter websites, and group workstations, and group time into a timetable so you can see what lessons have the most incidents etc (dinnertime!)

Wenonah Wilderness or not???
Posted by: dnatured on Apr-08-13 10:32 PM (EST) Category: Canoes
-- Last Updated: Apr-08-13 10:39 PM EST --
Hey folks. Long time lurker here, but I'm about to pull the trigger on a new Wenonah Wilderness RX, and have one unanswered question. First off yes I've read just about every post here, BWCA, and SOTP sites. I was considering an Argosy, but I'm a big guy sort of 5'10" 225lbs so that boat and the Bell YS are kind of ruled out as I like to take my 70lb Lab with me. I currently have a Sawyer Coda/ Solo 13, and it's great with the old pup on ponds and big easy flowing rivers, but I tend to paddle in protected ocean bays and coves too. Last summer the Coda scared the crap out of me paddling Cobscook Bay in Down East ME. I paddleds a WS Tsnami touring kayak previous to my solo canoe days wich was comforting in rough water, but I couldn't paddle for more than 45 mins w/o having my legs go numb. So back to my question...How seaworthy is the Wenonah Wilderness? Will it handle the big chop and weird currents I often find myself in. Yes I've also thought about adding a spray deck if I get it. So I'd like to hear from folks who have paddled this boat on big lakes and coastal areas In adverse conditions. I'd humbly say that I'm an intermediate + paddler. Is there something better in the same price range? Thanks in advance for your imput.

She's a full bodied girl, but not that big. 26" at the gunnels, 30" max and 28" at the 4" waterline.
Rockstar...I wish!
Posted by: dnatured on Apr-09-13 2:36 PM (EST)
I initially was set on getting a Rockstar for my next boat, then I tried to find one. None to be had in the northeast. As for salt water paddling...the old pup most likely wouldn't be in the boat except for a quick paddle around camp. I never wanted to find out her reaction to a seal popping up near the boat! I thought about the Argosy, folks really seam to be torn on that boat, it's either a love or hate relationship.
having a bit of a loose bow
Posted by: kayamedic on Apr-09-13 1:38 PM (EST)
is a help. Those squirrely currents in tidal races are essentially eddies that you find in whitewater. Except that they move, disappear, reappear somewhere else with constantly changing tidal currents. A river boat makes more sense.
Seaworthy Confused
Posted by: dnatured on Apr-09-13 2:47 PM (EST)
So I'm getting confused here. I thought when looking for a seaworthy solo I should focus on a deeper hull (b/m/s), rocker, and length. That Shearwater seems to go against some of my thinking here. Also I've read folks also love or hate tumblehome and its affects on seaworthiness. Any thoughts? Really I just need a quiver of canoes, but SWMBO isn't too keen on that idea!
Seaworthy depends a lot on hull shape

Decisions decisions!
Posted by: dnatured on Apr-09-13 6:06 PM (EST)
Went up to, but not through, but that was in a 14.5 touring kayak. I just sold my OC-1 play boat about 2hours ago. I would have liked to take that up there or to Blue Hill to play. As for paddling, I'm almost always on my knees, so I keep my weight as low as I can. I'm thinking that a Wilderness, plenty of time to get to know the boat, and a CCS deck might be my best option? Unless someone know of a secret Rockstar stash somewhere. The high end composites are just out of my price range right now. (Too many other $ hobbies). Unless I can find a decent used boat. There is a used Prism and a Magic within a 5 hour drive.
With budget in mind a nice used

Not totally sold on the Wilderness
Posted by: dnatured on Apr-09-13 11:14 PM (EST)
I still have my Coda 13 and a royalex tripper, which equals stable solo for flat water + dog, and good for any water with a 1Klbs in it boat. So maybe what I'm really looking for is a solo boat that provides a little confidence in adverse conditions whether it be a protected bay or lake in big chop or some fast downsteam flow II or less. I have an eye on a well priced Argosy and a YS Solo, but still wondering if they are the best hulls to paddle coastal areas with. Hmmm.....?
The Arogsy and YS...

Royalex Wilderness...
Posted by: jefallon on Apr-10-13 12:40 PM (EST)
would be fine for your intended use. Having owned both a Royalex and a composite Wilderness I'd say the Royalex boat has less of a bulge, less tumblehome and looser ends than the composite version. Watch the YouTube video of the Royalex Wilderness for an idea of it's maneuverability.
Posted by: dnatured on Apr-10-13 5:20 PM (EST)
Well I think I'll stick with the original plan and go with the Wilderness RX. However a Penobby 16RX is for sale in my area at a very nice price! I thought I had my next boat all figured out, and the more I read the more other boats pop into view clouding my vision. I wish we had a local Mohawk dealer, I would like to demo their 15' solo.
solo canoe
Posted by: canoeracer on Apr-12-13 8:16 AM (EST)
For the type of paddling you are doing you might consider a Kruger Seawind or Superior Expedton. These are decked canoes with a large cockpit and rudder. Seat can be adjusted up or down to increase stability. This boat is very stable and carry alot of weight.
Mohawk does not have a dealer
Posted by: kayamedic on Apr-12-13 8:27 AM (EST)
network. They sell direct. Not all canoe manufacturers have dealers.
Or not....
Posted by: dnatured on Apr-14-13 9:38 AM (EST)
Well I did not get the Wilderness. When I really thought about what kind of paddling I will really be doing, a 15 and a half foot solo tripper didn't fit the bill. Yesterday I got my hands on a almost new condition Bell YS solo completely outfitted and w/ a removable yoke. Yes I know this isn't a good dog boat, but she's so old now days I don't see myself doing any overnights with her or paddling in rough conditions. I thnk I will just take her out on flat water in the Coda or toss her upfront in the Tripper to trim it out. The YS solo I think will be a great compromise boat for what I want in a canoe just for me. For multiway trips, I pack with my backpacking gear, so even 5 days on the H2O is only an extra 35# in the boat. I'm stoked and can't wait to get her wet! Unfortunately today is brew day, (I say that like its a bad thing!) so maybe after that's done I'll run up to the local pond. Thanks for all those that chimed in with device and insight. It was much appreciated.
LOL I thought about that YS
Posted by: kayamedic on Apr-14-13 10:06 AM (EST)
in Trenton.. but didn't bite.Let me know if it doesn't work out!
That's the one
Posted by: dnatured on Apr-14-13 11:45 AM (EST)
Yep. That was the boat. Really good guy, works for the ANP fire dept. moved out here from Yellowstone a few years ago. Little more than I would liked to pay for a used boat, but a lot cheaper than a new Wilderness. Plus I'm pretty sure he was aware of Bell's current production situation. Either way the boat is like new with only a very few minor scratches on the bottom. Oh well, with the outfitting, yoke, and overall condition of the boat it was a good deal to me. Lets just hope the new boat euphoria continues when I get it out on the water!

This is probably super late but...Hey~
I stopped by to thank you for adding three of my deviations to your collection of faves:
I am really happy you liked my works. ^^
Thanks for the fav. You have pretty good backgrounds there. Do I have permission to use one of them? If not it's ok.
