Sometimes a game designer wants to have the player's choice of gender be more than purely aesthetic. So, the designer adds things that makes males play different from females, such as adding gender-specific armor, gender-specific character classes, and so on. Sometimes intentional, sometimes not, some games just seem to love one gender over the other. Perhaps women get all sorts of cool and powerful armor that the men do not, or men have naturally better stats while women get bonuses to the Dump Stat. One way or another, one gender ends up completely winning over the other, making it so that there's no reason to ever roll a man because a woman is always better, or vice versa. Used to be named "Minus Four Strength"note , a tabletop RPG meme where female characters would sometimes be given a stiff penalty to the strength stat. Oddly enough, most video game RPGs tend to favor women instead. Contrast with Purely Aesthetic Gender. Compare Gender Incompetence. May lead to Women Are Wiser or Men Are Better Than Women. Sometimes one is better early and the other better late, in Linear Warriors, Quadratic Wizards fashion.

New York State Mandated Vaccinations
- 1Oct 3, '09 by ammsHey everyone,
Considering that flu vaccines are being mandated here in NY (which includes H1N1 in addition to the regular flu vacc), does anyone know of any groups taking action against this? I've been reading up on this issue here on the boards and over the web and I'm wondering if anyone has any additional information. Basically, I am looking to see if anyone has raised the issue of this being against our rights at a legislative level (regardless of whether you are for or against the vaccs). Has anyone heard of any legal action being taken? (individually or not) Other than just arguing opinions and justifications, I want to know how this is being handled considering there is (in my belief) a violation of personal rights.
- 2I for one sent a letter to the NY Civil Liberties Union this past week asking what my rights are and how it is that this mandate can be legal since NY is not in a state of emergency.
They only reply by mail so if/when I hear anything from them I will post it here.
Also take a look at the NYSNA open letter to Dr. Richard Daines the Commissioner of the NY DOH. NYSNA has testified and come out in opposition to this mandate. While they encourage all Nurses to get the vaccine they believe a mandate is an extreme measure that will have an adverse effect on healthcare workers jobs, and set a dangerous precedent for the future. They also question the DOH's infection control measures - asking if the DOH is counting on vaccination and skimping on proven infection control methods - pointing out the shortage of fit-tested N-95respirators available in hospitals.
check it out:
also there is more info on the website about the mandatory vaccination:
There was a protest in Albany on Tuesday.
That's all I know so far....
- 0Oct 4, '09 by hypocaffeinemiaI'm not sure if a job requirement can be counted as an impeachment of civil liberties. If it were mandated for all citizens, you might have a case.
For now, it's no more a violation of your civil liberties than it is the state requires a RN license to work as a registered nurse.
- 3Well for me it has to do with equal access (14th amendment issue) to education since I am a Nursing student and the vaccine is mandated for us to enter the clinical area and if I don't receive it I get dropped from my program. I haven't made a decision yet, but the fact of the "mandate" isn't leaving me much option. I had a severe reaction to the flu shot in 2002...and I still got the flu!!!
Hypo, I see a big difference between a required license (which does not enter my body) and a mandated vaccine - so I guess I don't get your comparison.
Anyhoo the original poster was asking about if any groups are taking action against this versus the mandate so that's why I shared my current experience - not here to debate the law with non-lawyers!
- 1Oct 4, '09 by ammsArmygirl, thanks for the links! I did check out the ACLU website to see if anything was noted there, but I was unsuccessful. I also did hear about the protest before the scheduled date, but heard nothing of it after it occurred. Writing to the ACLU was a great idea, I may just do so myself as well....thanks for the input all!
Also if anyone happens to come across any additional info, please post!!
- 1Oct 4, '09 by tewdlesSomebody just posted (on another thread) a call for nurses objecting to the vaccine mandate to organize a "blue flu" sort of protest. Given that the "blue flu" was cops protesting, perhaps this should be a "white flu", or "puke green", or some "nursing" color?
- 1Oct 4, '09 by CrunchyMamaArmygirl....our state offers medical or religious exemptions. So if you've had a reaction to this vaccine then you can have your Dr. fill out the form. To those not wanting to get this vaccine....like I said, we're offered religous or medical exemptions. Unfortunately philosophical reasons aren't offered in NY. :/
- 0Yeah - I know about medical exemption- but the mandate means I will not be allowed in the clinical area if I am not vaccinated. If I am not allowed in the clinical area then I am dropped from my program. Unless I find a legal way to fight that....which is what I'm looking into.
That's one of NYSNA's complaints about the mandate-- what will it mean for the jobs of all the Nurses who have a medical expemption? Also the DOH is being cagey about whether they will accept religious exemptions in relation to this mandate. I mean, of course - one can refuse the vaccine. But will you have a job? Will you be able to stay in school? How will healthcare facilities deal with staffing, etc? Those are some of the questions NYSNA is (thankfully) raising.
- 0Oct 5, '09 by CrunchyMamaThere's laws that protect those that have exemptions...so by law they should've give you a problem. And if they do, call a lawyer. I don't give certain vaccines to my kids and by law their school has to except waivers....it's the same thing.
- 0Oct 5, '09 by Armygirl7"it's the same thing."
except this time it's not the same thing! because the doh has mandated the vaccine, the hospitals have to adhere to a different level of compliance - again, a person can refuse the vaccine, but then the hospital will not be allowed by the state to allow that nurse, or any healthcare worker or staff even! (or student in my case) to have any patient contact.
that's what's different about this situation and that's why nysna and lots of health care workers are up in arms. it's different this time, there are no exceptions for medical or religious reasons, meaning again- you can refuse the shot but then what is the hospital or school supposed to do with you!!? they cannot, by law, because of this mandate, allow unvaccinated employees/students to be in patient contact.
all the other states are watching this very closely - because it is really an unprecedented/intense situation here in ny.
thanks though - i do appreciate the encouraging words - there is just (so far) no work-around this time.

Under Appreciation
David Duncan Livingston
Architect Cathi House relied on rugged, exquisitely detailed woods to bring her staircase design to life. The dark red of Santos mahogany graces the steps and cutout accents. The staircase's underside is fashioned primarily from golden anigre.
The ebony horizontal slats at the top of the stairs echo the ebony detailing featured in other parts of the house.
House's design demanded tolerances "so perfect you need a cabinetmaker to do it," she says. The Santos mahogany, in particular, was so strong that "it was like cutting steel. The contractors kept going through saw blades."
If only every architect spent as much time thinking about the underside of a staircase as Cathi House does. "I always sculpt the undersides of my stairs," says the co-principal of San Francisco's House + House Architects. "It's the most neglected opportunity, but it's really the place to do the most exquisite detail. Because there aren't code issues, you can do whatever you want."
It's perhaps no surprise, then, that this geometric gem is one of her personal favorites. "Generally, it's just a stair," House explains, but in this Northern California residence "it becomes the railing of the bridge upstairs, the flying shelf in the living room, the cabinetry. The way the materials wrap around and come together guides you in how to move through the space."
Designed as sculptural pieces with tolerances "so perfect you need a cabinetmaker to do it," the staircase comprises warm, elegant woods—Santos mahogany, anigre, and ebony—that were cut, finished, and installed by San Rafael, Calif.-based IK Design to stringers built by the project's general contractors, Innovation Builders and Fulwiler/James of Emeryville and El Granada, Calif., respectively. The panels' forms, like the materials, are echoed throughout the house: in detailing on the nearby back door, for example, and in the horizontal slats that grace the skylit second-floor corridor. "I wanted there to be a rhythm to it," House says of her design, "to give an overwhelming sense of tranquility to a complex shape."
In architecture, women in leadership roles are rare. Built by Women aims to change that...

This App Lets You Scalp Your Dinner Reservation
It used to be that if you wanted to start an underground cronut delivery racket, you'd have to do it through craigslist. But now there's Shout, an app where you can find not only cronuts at the insane price of $30 a pop, but reservations and tickets for top restaurants and shows in NYC.
Shout is a marketplace for "spots," which just means any commodity attached to your name: a train ticket, a place on a line, or a dinner reservation. If you've put down your credit card for a reservation, or can't get a refund on a ticket, you'd hop on Shout to see who wants it.
The app was inspired by a hypothetical question the cofounders had on their way to an airport: how much would it cost to convince someone to give up their seat on a plane? Read More

On Thursday 15th July, Warp artists travelled to Amsterdam for the 5 Days Off festival at the Melkweg.
The Dutch Vpro site has an excellent review and lots of pictures and audio to check out here
The pages are all in dutch, so below is a Babelfished translation of the night (it kinda gives it the disorientating surreal vibe that nights in the 'Dam often have... )
The Thursday evening stood dominated by the renowned English Warp label. Ever small started in Sheffield, the label has meanwhile developed into of the taste makers for muziekliefhebbers worldwide. With a rich and broad scale to artists she has stood since beginning years ninety guarantors for adventurous music with a fijnzinnig feeling for quality. Lords such as Aphex twin, Autechre, Squarepusher, Boards or Canada, Plaid and Prefuse73 is only some paradepaardjes of the treasure to music which the Warp accommodate family. After the success of the Warp night on 21 February in Paradiso it was time for a continuation. Vanavond it is up to that point: the large room of the galaxy is taken to the hand by an experienced team of padvinders that still in search is of new ways.
Are been the first Warp dj N.E.D, who looks after also intermezzo's between the act. He brings a subtle mix of separate, but for this reason not less tasty, beats. The Warp catalogue even fijntjes doorgespit are mixed and with other one dancing floor aimed material. Warp keep of it to keep the chalk lines in own hands and for this reason have the label also for the visuals its own vj "Flat-E" taken along. He treats our on splendid structured collages of pictures, the perfect supplement on music.
Team Shadetek is the newest acquisition of Warp and stands as a first warming up live-act on the programme. Recently they have their new album "Burnerism" brought out and at present is them busy with a tour promote the album. The dancing floor is still scrupulously empty the moment the team plays its first numbers. Their compare music has been draped in breakbeat and dance dance-hall rhythms. the people who trod a measure the dancing floor chased away.
It is halfly, the room has considerably filled up and it should clear be that there is a public favourite to the turn; Chris Clark stand on the beams. This young person made "Clarence park" in the previous years furore with the albums; and "Empty to the Bones Of You". Its repertoire stands convex of sharply programmed beats and deep sound fields, a winning combination. Music is a cord energy which moves on himself rapidly and several times result in a climax. Public gets where it has come for, a package rammel with policy. As the set progresses, the rawer and freakier become, to large pleasure of public.
Jamie Lidell are an old fixed value of the label and probably the largest publiekstrekker in the Netherlands. With its overwhelming improvisatiekunsten he keeps the room effortless in its seizure and weet he each of raising show to art. The voice is at issue and becomes in already its facets gesampled for further course of the act. Rhythms sputter and bubble and are varied with the warm soulvolle song qualities of Lidell. The perception and the charisma radiate of the man.
The evening is concluded in style with attractive varied setje van Matthew Herbert. Classics, jazz getinte house, sultry beats and stemmingsverhogende techno finish the evening with flair. There can be looked at on a musical surprising evening and Warp have again being proved why it for liefhebbers to the electronic crème the drawer crème belongs.

@indemnifyme - I'm sorry that happened to your friend. I do think a misdemeanor charge is appropriate in the case of petty extortion and blackmail though.
One thing you should keep in mind is that the victim can always sue the perpetrator in a civil court. If the person was convicted, the plaintiff has a good chance of winning the suit. If it hasn't been too long maybe you should urge your friend to sue her blackmailer for damages!

Endeavour Rolls Through LA Neighborhoods
This weekend the space shuttle Endeavour is on its way to the California Science Center, getting driven via Overland Transporter along 12 miles of Los Angeles roads at a more-or-less steady 2 mph. Hundreds of onlookers have gathered along the route to catch a glimpse of a real-life spaceship passing by just outside their front doors. Now that's really not something you see every day!
The move from Los Angeles International Airport, where it landed atop a Boeing 747 on Sept. 1, has been dubbed Mission 26. Endeavour flew 25 missions, traveled 122,883,151 miles and orbited Earth 4,671 times since 1992.
All together, the move is expected to cost about $10 million. The exhibit is set to open Oct. 30.

Farewell, Endeavour: The Last Shuttle's Final Flight from Florida's Space Coast
The space shuttle Endeavour, mounted atop NASA's Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (SCA), is seen shortly after takeoff from NASA's Kennedy Space Center on Wednesday, Sept. 19, 2012 in Cape Canaveral, Fla. The SCA, a modified 747 jetliner, is flying Endeavour to Los Angeles where it will be placed on public display at the California Science Center. The three-day trip will include flybys of many locations along the planned route, including New Orleans, Houston, Sacramento and San Francisco, as well as stopovers in Houston and Edwards Air Force Base. (Read more here.)
This is the final ferry flight of the Space Shuttle Program era and the last time an orbiter will take to the skies.

One Week: Remembering the Last Landing of Atlantis
One week ago today at 5:57 am EDT the shuttle Atlantis landed at Kennedy Space Center, completing the STS-135 mission and bringing an end to the shuttle program. With memories of the launch still very fresh in my mind it's hard to believe it's already been a week since Atlantis' final wheelstop. Kind of hard to believe.
"Mission complete, Houston. After serving the world for over 30 years the space shuttle has earned its place in history, and it's come to a final stop."

A Love Letter to the Space Shuttle
"A man's reach should exceed his grasp." – Robert Browning
Here's a wonderful video compilation showing highlights from all the shuttle missions, from STS-1 to STS-135, created by the folks at Nature. It's a lot of emotions packed into eight minutes, but above all there's a powerful feeling of awe at what was accomplished through a lot of hard work, talent and bravery by many, many dedicated people.
Watch it. I'm sure you'll agree.
This is a deeply personal film. Those spaceships have been in my life since as long as I can remember, and I think many feel that shared ownership. I can't say I recall the very first mission, STS-1 in 1981, but my Dad and I watched Challenger fall from the sky live in 1986. The media became bored with the space shuttle as the missions became more and more routine, which is sad, because each one was a marvel. That astronauts could sit on top of such explosives and for that explosion to be controlled enough to escape Earth's bonds is truly a feat of design engineering… this is my love letter to the space shuttle.
– Adam Rutherford, Nature
And yes, sometimes love hurts. But, as they say, 'tis better to have loved and lost than never loved at all.

The End.
"Mission complete, Houston. After serving the world for over 30 years, the space shuttle has earned its place in history, and it's come to a final stop."
— STS-135 Commander Christopher Ferguson
This morning, on July 21, 2011 at 5:57 am EDT, the space shuttle Atlantis and the STS-135 mission crew landed at Kennedy Space Center. It was the final landing of the last flight of the shuttle program, bringing its 33rd flight and a 30-year era of shuttle missions to a close.
The official time of wheel stop was 4:57.54 am CDT. That was the last self-powered forward motion of a shuttle.
Welcome home, Atlantis.

Computer shipments in Western Europe declined by 20.5% during the first quarter of 2013, with the only vendors to see shipments grow were Lenovo and Apple, according to the Gartner research group. The latter returned to the top five for the first time since 2011.
"The first quarter of 2013 brought the worst quarterly decline in Western Europe since Gartner started tracking PC shipments in this region," says Meike Escherich, principal research analyst at Gartner. "Wide availability of Windows 8-based PCs could not boost consumer PC purchases during the quarter. Although the new Metro-style user interface suits new form factors, users wonder about its suitability for traditional PCs -- non-touchscreen desktops and notebooks."
All computer segments in Western Europe exhibited year-on-year declines in the first quarter of 2013. Mobile and desktop shipments fell by 24.6% and 13.8%, respectively. Shipments to the professional computer market declined by 17.2%, while those to the consumer market decreased by 23.7%.

K-SWISS Announces Race Team Initiative With Stand Up To Cancer
WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif., March 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- California Sports Company K-SWISS is proud to join with Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C), an initiative to accelerate groundbreaking cancer research, on a co-branded footwear and apparel collection. In addition, K-SWISS and Stand Up To Cancer will launch Team Stand Up To Cancer at key "racing" events throughout the year. K-SWISS will contribute five dollars from the sale of each specially designed SU2C product to Stand Up To Cancer through December 31, 2013.
K-SWISS will promote the newly launched Team Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C), which rallies supporters to raise funds by participating in their favorite races. Team recruiting will take place at a variety of running events across the country this year, including regional Rock N' Roll Marathon, Life Time Fitness and Ironman triathlon events. Participants may opt in to run on behalf of Team SU2C, or may purchase co-branded SU2C/K-SWISS official race gear on-site to show their support.
"Collaborating with Stand Up To Cancer gives us a valuable opportunity to support, and help inspire a movement to save lives," said David Nichols, executive vice-president of K-SWISS. "We are excited to create a unified front across the running community and encourage people, from their first 5k or first triathlon, to race for a world without cancer."
The co-branded collection will include a line of SU2C/K-SWISS product featuring running and lifestyle shoes, performance and triathlon apparel. Product will debut on SU2C's web site at http://store.standup2cancer.org/ in May 2012. K-SWISS will carry all footwear styles online and major retailers, including The Finish Line, will sell the line beginning in August 2012."Stand Up To Cancer is about collaboration and acceleration," said Sue Schwartz, co-founder of SU2C and partner at Robertson Schwartz Agency. "We are excited to work with K-SWISS on this new performance apparel collection, as well as on Team SU2C because it gives us an opportunity to galvanize the public at a grassroots level to generate funds for cancer research. So stand up, and join the team!" For those who wish to participate in the national race team, SU2C has partnered with CrowdRise to offer a custom fundraising page for Team SU2C. Members will have the option to set up individual or team pages to drive friends and family to donate. K-SWISS will help drive registration and participation in Team SU2C through its extensive networks in the running and triathlon communities.

UAE's Futtaim eyes MENA retail deals in next 2 years
Eyes similar deal to $1.63 bln Doha contract in September; Sees funding for Doha deal by year-end; Sees recovery in Dubai property market after 3-5 years.
October 3, 2010 4:13 by Reuters
UAE conglomerate Al-Futtaim Group, which last month signed a 6 billion dirham ($1.63 billion) retail and leisure contract in Qatar, hopes to strike at least one more retail deal in the next two years, an executive said.
The company is looking to take advantage of falling construction costs and "more reasonable" salaries and is eyeing opportunities in another Gulf Arab state, the Levant and North Africa, Marwan Shehadeh, group director of corporate development, told Reuters in an interview on Sunday.
"On the real estate side we are focusing on retail," he said.
"If its a similar size deal we will probably do one more over the next two years, if its a smaller size we will do more than one."
Al-Futtaim signed the deal to develop the project in Doha in September with Qatar Islamic Bank and Qatar's Aqar Real Estate Investment.
"There is a gap and a need in Qatar to build a super regional shopping and entertainment destination, which we are keen and confident we will be in a position to fill. We are also confident that the banks will be there to fund us, Shehadeh said.
"We are looking at ways to mitigate the relatively high interest rates in Qatar," he said, adding he hoped funding for the project would be through a club loan deal from banks by the end of the year for as much as 4 billion riyals ($1.10 billion).
Shehadeh said financing for real estate projects remained easier to obtain in Saudi Arabia and Qatar, while financing for any asset class in Dubai was still difficult.
A recovery in Dubai's battered property market is still some three to five years away despite the confidence boost from the restructuring of conglomerate Dubai World and Dubai's recent return to international debt markets, Shehadeh said.
"There is still a lot of supply. A supply-demand equilibrium will take time unless major initiatives creating confidence and boosting demand can be created," he said.
Dubai's government needs to do more in dealing with visa issues and transparency, he added.
Shehadeh said Al-Futtaim would focus on its existing $385 million fund, a third of which is invested in its Cairo Festival City project, a third on its Doha project and the remainder for new projects, before setting up new funds.
"Funds are currently not the flavour of the day, but hopefully in the long run we will be able to open up and do more," he said.
Shehadeh added he thought it unlikely more property funds would be closed this year or early next in the Gulf Arab region as investors are more interested in direct deals.
"For direct deals there is appetite. Eventually we will be seeking investors to co-invest in our Qatar deal.

At the start of the cruise you will be welcomed on board with a glass of sparkling wine and then during the cruise you will be offered a second drink (choice between a glass of wine, beer or soft drink).
Farewell Dinner and Orientation
A fantastic evening out in Budapest! After a welcome drink, enjoy a three-course dinner with fine specialties in the nice atmosphere of this 19th century building, formerly a garrison and later transformed into a tobacco factory. Twenty years ago the place has been refurbished and became this nice local restaurant which is just perfect to enjoy a wonderful evening with good food and music. The excursion is completed by an orientation drive to the Citadel for a stunning panoramic view over the city.
Folklore Dinner
An evening out Bulgarian-style at a restaurant situated in the heart of the mountainside suburb of Boyana. This restaurant is a long-standing favourite among visitors as it is one of the few places in Sofia where one can enjoy an authentic programme of folk songs and dances, including men and women dancing on live coals with bare feet!!. The meal let's you sample typical Bulgarian dishes served with natural spring water, wine and Bulgarian grape brandy.
A Romanian Evening
Your evening out will take you to a restaurant situated in exquisite natural scenery on the outskirts of Bucharest which offers an entertaining ambiance and high-quality service. It was built in 1938 and has long since attracted the high society of Bucharest. During the summer the outside garden terrace offers a superb view of Lake Herastrau. With your 4 course dinner you can have white or red wine or beer or soft drink plus mineral water. A folklore show with music and dances will accompany you during dinner and after dinner there is an opportunity to let yourself go and dance to live music.
People's Palace
An excursion lasting approximately 2 hours will include a guided tour of the Palace of the Parliament, or as many Romanians call it "People's House". This is a multi-purpose building holding both chambers of the Romanian Parliament and is considered to be Europe's largest civilian building and the most expensive administrative building. It has approximately 1,100 rooms situated on 12 floors plus 2 undergound parking garages and some other underground levels currently available for the general public.
Medieval Evening
This evening you will be taken by minibus to dine in a medieval building dating back to 1524, which in medieval times was one of the strategic points in defending the settlement of the old town of Brasov. Towering over the surroundings the citadel offers an atmosphere of those times and a unique view over the historic centre of Brasov. After a traditional welcome with a local alcoholic drink and small snack you can enjoy a dinner with medieval and traditional based dishes with different types of meat, cheese and vegetables followed by a dessert. Drinks include Romanian wine or beer or soft drink plus coffee and tea. You will be entertained during dinner with music and dances. At the end of the evening there will be a minibus to take you back to the hotel.

Speaking at It's Nice That: In Progress conference last Friday, technology journalist Adrian Mars addressed questions of liability, safety and intellectual property rights. "What if you 3D print a car and somebody and it causes an accident due to a design fault or a computer design fault?" Mars questioned, referring to the number of legal challenges 3D printing technology is facing.
In 2011, Dutch designer Ulirich Schwanitz created a file to print a 3D version of a Penrose Triangle, a graphic optical illusion. Following that, another designer, Artur Tchoukanov, worked out how the object was created and uploaded his file to Thingiverse. Claiming that his intellectual property had been violated under the Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DCMA), Schwanitz issued a take-down request. The request was later rescinded but the case showed the dangers and unresolved legal issues accompanying the 3D printing industry.
In October this year, the first US patent was issued for preventing unauthorized 3d reproducing of protected files. It is a type of DRM software that checks if you're authorized to print a file.
"You could have a printer that refuses to print, just like a music player refuses to play, if the digital rights don't say that you've paid for it," said Mars.
Whether the future of 3d printing will bring models with watermarks, just like those on digital photos, or the information of patents will be an element in the hide-and-seek design game introduced by these legal issues, it remains to be seen.

Watersmark 35 House by Mell Lawrence Architects
Mell Lawrence Architects designed the Watersmark 35 house in Austin, Texas.
Residing at the end of a road located at the edge of Austin, the Watersmark 35 house was designed to be a restful sanctuary for the owners. The house embraces its naturally terraced site, capturing both sweeping views in the distance and intimate spaces alongside the building. On the more private façade, generous windows and doors open to allow the sun to permeate the space while providing a view down to the creek and valley. As the house descends the slope, each interior space also corresponds to an exterior 'room'. From the living area, a glass bridge leads to the library overlooking a concrete plunge pool below, just off the edge of a natural terrace which opens back into guest quarters tucked into the hillside. Upstairs, the private suite opens onto to a large covered porch space containing the Master bathroom, a screened area, and a sunny open terrace. This series of small boxes contrasts the larger spaces anchoring the house below. Only elemental materials – wood, stone, concrete and metal – were used, chosen by the architect to express the qualities of timeless buildings: substantial, grounded, and well proportioned, with textural interest flowing between exterior and interior.

Coast Guard continues operation to sink derelict vessel
GULF OF ALASKA — The unmanned Japanese fishing vessel Ryou-Un Maru drifts northwest approximately 170 nautical miles southwest of Sitka April 4, 2012. The Coast Guard is monitoring the vessel, which is currently considered a hazard to navigation, and working with stakeholders to determine the best way to respond to the vessel's presence in U.S. waters.
U.S. Coast Guard photo by Petty Officer 1st Class Sara Francis
Juneau, Alaska – The Coast Guard Cutter Anacapa will continue with its plan to sink the derelict fishing vessel Ryou-Un Maru 180 miles west of Sitka today.
The scheduled operation was delayed due to a fishing vessel operating in the vicinity of the Ryou-Un Maru. The master initially expressed an interest in salvaging the derelict vessel, but once on scene determined it was not safe to salvage or tow the vessel and they left the area.
"Once the fishing vessel Bernice C is safely out of the area, we will continue with our operation to sink the hazard to navigation," said Capt. Daniel Travers, Coast Guard District 17, Chief of Incident Management." "Our primary goal is to ensure the safety of this operation and all mariners."
The Ryou-Un Maru was sighted by the Canadian coast guard more than a week ago drifting in Canadian waters. The vessel drifted into U.S. waters Saturday and has been determined to pose a threat to navigation. The fishing vessel has been drifting unmanned at sea, presumably since the 2011 Fukushima earthquake and subsequent tsunami which occurred more than a year ago.
The Coast Guard Cutter Anacapa is a 110-foot patrol boat homeported in Petersburg, Alaska.
Coast Guard releases concerning Ryou-Un Maru:

EPA Official Resigns
Another snared in secret email probe, says GOP senator
A top Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) official under congressional investigation for using a private email address to conduct government business is stepping down.
EPA Region 8 administrator James Martin is resigning this week, according to a press release from Sen. David Vitter (R., La.). Martin faces a congressional probe for allegedly using a private email account to circumvent disclosure requirements.
Bob Perciasepe, the current acting EPA administrator, also used a private account to send emails to other EPA officials, Vitter said his office has discovered.
"Region 8 administrator Martin is likely resigning this week in part because of the open investigation about his use of a non-official email account to conduct official business," Vitter said. "Now we know that Lisa Jackson's acting replacement, Bob Perciasepe, appears to have been doing the same thing to dodge the agency's mandatory record-keeping policy."

Aw, the little shits.+3
These assholes, Jackson included, who violated disclosure requirements should go to JAIL.
This is a violation of the highest order against the American people.Noteworthy Comment +12
If those who run the EPA realize they must be deceitful in doing its business, isn't that proof that the EPA should be terminated?Noteworthy Comment +11
There's really no new version of Newt is there?
Just a big herd of £#%€!ing RINOs going along to get along while the country goes down the Marxist crapper.+4
So many people associated with this administration need to go to jail. All the screaming about Bush, but it's really these criminals that need to be locked away.+9
One by one we'll get rid of the EPA.+3
Screaming double standard here. If a Republican administration were pulling a stunt like this there would be no end to the hue and cry in the media. This practice is directly against the law and is considered a form of fraud.
People at EPA should be charged with felony fraud, not allowed to resign quietly.+4
Congress needs to regain the power it has let slip away over the decades by eliminating the EPA and most other federal agencies. Our elected "representatives" have been derelict in their duties by allowing government agencies filled with overpaid, meddlesome, incompetent, unelected, power-mad bureaucrats to walk all over tax payers. It's past time that sort of BS ends.+2

In a town heaping with big spenders, penny pinchers may feel like fish out of water. But if you rely on a little more than Lady Luck to do Las Vegas on a budget, you'll save lots of cash. Here's a guide to getting the most out of your Vegas vacation, while spending the least amount possible. From buffets to Las Vegas rentals, there are lots of savings to be had.
Find the Deals First
Before buying an airline ticket, find a great deal online. Also, search for discount tickets to shows and other miscellaneous coupons before arriving in Vegas. This way, you're mentally prepared to save from the get go. There are lots of cheap things to do in Las Vegas, so don't miss out on the savings.
All in the Timing
While Vegas is a year-round vacation destination, visiting the city midweek, on a non-holiday, and during any other season but summer will guarantee a cheaper trip – that goes for accommodations and show tickets, too. It's possible to do Vegas on a budget any time of year, but make it easy on yourself if you can.
Ditch the Strip
Unless you plan to gamble or party at the clubs 24/7, the four-mile Las Vegas Strip isn't the most affordable location to call your home away from home. Plenty of cheap Las Vegas vacation rental homes are located just outside the Strip. Remember, Nevada has a lot to offer, so consider making your trip well-rounded instead of Strip-centric.
Free Fun
There aren't just cheap things to do in Las Vegas, but plenty of full-out freebies, too. Because the casinos and hotels of Vegas want your attention, lots of free shows (and even free drinks) are available inside them. When the card and circus tricks get old, spend a few hours people watching. In addition to free entertainment, you can also find free parking at the casinos.
Dine Cheap
While there's probably no such thing as a "free lunch" in Vegas, buffets, chain restaurants, and fast food joints offer much cheaper cuisine than the showy, gourmet restaurants of the area. A Las Vegas rental is also great for dining cheap because you can prepare home-cooked meals in your private kitchen. In addition to great amenities, vacation rental owners also offer up tons of awemose Las Vegas vacation deals.
Getting Around
Get to know the Las Vegas public transport system and save money on taxi fares. If you rent a car, get a good rate, because chances are gas is wildly more expensive in Vegas than it is in your hometown. Fortunately, the Strip is made for sight-seeing pedestrians, so take advantage of this and spend as much time on foot as possible.
Budget-Conscious Gambling
Before you hit the casinos, know your limits. Come to Vegas with a "gambling budget." Once you run out of your blackjack and slot machine fund, enjoy Vegas' other attractions and entertainment.
Bet on Las Vegas Rentals
Don't gamble on a hotel room. Instead, go with a much more affordable and luxurious Las Vegas vacation rental home or condo. Visit the city's world-renowned hotels without spending every last penny staying in them. Stock your kitchen with grocery items and alcohol and you'll have your own personal bar and restaurant to enjoy before hitting the Strip. Also, remember that you can fit a lot of people under one Las Vegas vacation rental roof! Don't waste your money on ultra-expensive hotels. With the money you'll save on a Vegas rental, you can take the casinos by storm, or see one more show than you originally planned. Find great Vegas deals today!
So, you see, you really can do Las Vegas on a budget. For even more money saving tips, read more about Las Vegas Vacation Deals.
