OpenSource World Conference & Expo Announced
IDG World Expo announced the launch of OpenSource World Conference & Expo, an event that will include features of LinuxWorld with an emphasis on open source technology.
Scheduled for August 10-13, 2009, at San Francisco's Moscone Center, OpenSource World will include a full conference program and an exhibit floor featuring Linux and open source companies. The event will be co-located with IDG's Next Generation Data Center (NGDC) event, which will offer separate conference tracks but share the expo floor. Whereas LinuxWorld included a three-day expo hall, the new OpenSource World expo will be reduced to two days.
Prior to the new event announcement, LinuxWorld organizers announced a move to Moscone West, a smaller conference hall.
O'Reilly's OSCON event has moved to take place in San Jose three weeks prior to OpenSource World, making the two events head-to-head competitors.

The present-day crescent shape of the island is a consequence of the activity of the volcano in prehistoric times feeding the myth of the lost Atlantis. Santorini is essentially what remains of an enormous volcanic explosion dated back 3,600 years and which created the current geological caldera; a giant central lagoon, more or less rectangular, and measuring about 12 by 7 km (7.5 by 4.3 mi), surrounded by 300 m (980 ft) high steep cliffs on three sides.
The mild activity of the volcano after this major eruption has built up two small islands within the caldera, Palea and Nea Kameni visited by hundreds of people everyday during the tourist season.
The impressive caldera dominates the west part of the island while the marvellous dry climate and the almost continuous sunshine create year-around conditions which are perfect for observation, photographs and videos under an extraordinary variety of natural lights and colours that give the visitor the exceptional advantage of reaching the interior of the volcano by boat.
Weddings & Honeymoons
Has it ever crossed you mind to get married somewhere far away from where you live? Somewhere special and romantic? If you want to experience the happiest day of your life with your other half somewhere other than the ordinary, then Santorini is a very good choice. The landscapes of the island are of unparalleled beauty and will surely give you moments that will remain forever etched in your and your guests' memories. Whether you decide to have a private wedding on the island, or to be followed by your many guests, the experience is definitely going to be unique!
Even if you ultimately choose, for your own reasons, to get married near your home, the island will still be a unique destination for a honeymoon. With the romance that dissipates the island, it is certain that the first moments as newlyweds will have a distinct character.
Whether as intended spouses or as newlyweds, the island is awaiting to enchant you! Read more about dreamy weddings and honeymoons in Santorini.
The island has been lucky the past two decades as its products and cuisine have been associated with tourism. This gave way in the production of and in making a good name in the culinary market. Agricultural products of Santorini such as tomatoes, split peas and capers are already known and sought after. The market's need for continuous improvement, resulted in new proposals for local cuisine, with rare tastes based on pure and delicious raw material. A tendency to highlight the culinary peculiarity of the island has come to the front, through variations of traditional recipes and unusual combinations.
During these twenty years assyrtiko showed its strength and today it is considered to be the first Greek variety, with great wines. The wines of Santorini enjoy a growing worldwide recognition, while, of course, its fans are increasing.
Santorini, though small in size, has already made a big name in gastronomy and is considered to be a gastronomical destination with some of the finest restaurants, wineries and restaurants throughout the country. You just have to try them and form your own opinion!
2013 has been declared as Year of Gastronomy in Santorini!

Gary Shiffin ~ Principal Merritt Island High says:
"We have had a number of presentations with similar themes presented to our students over the 9 years I have been the principal of Merritt Island High School. But, I can state to you that there have never been any other presentations that can match the powerful message and high interest approach that Marc Mero and his troupe delivered in our auditorium yesterday. The presentation was spell binding and today many of our students are still talking about what they heard and observed.

Meet our Founder - Marc Mero
Tragedy to Triumph
The tragic loss of more than 30 of Marc Mero's close friends and family members – largely due to lifestyle choices and negative behaviors – spurred Marc into action. He wanted people to be aware of the consequences of their choices. "It only takes using drugs one time to kill you – then your family and friends have to suffer and live with the pain of your choice everyday!" Marc is determined to keep students off of the "death list" he speaks of during his presentation – helping young people realize that life is precious and relationships should be cherished.A Selfless Champion
Today, Marc Mero selflessly gives of his time and talent to impact young lives with amazing results. Through the nonprofit organization he founded in 2007 called Champion of Choices, this self-proclaimed "Happiest Person on the Planet" shares his powerful story of tragedy and triumph, speaking candidly about where his good and bad choices took him. His anti-bullying, substance abuse, and suicide prevention message reaches students at a heart-level during a dynamic stage production. Lives are saved and changed by his honest portrayal and courage to stand up, step up, and speak up. Thousands of young people credit Marc Mero with giving them hope, inspiring them to live healthy, successful lives by empowering them to make positive choices.A Passion to Save Lives
Marc Mero's commitment to improving the lives of children and teens is unparalleled. It's not a job – it's his "passion." He works countless hours to respond to students who need words of encouragement, and connects suicidal and depressed youth (many who are cutting themselves) with school counselors. Most of these students would otherwise hold in their hurt and pain. Marc is their "Hero and Champion!" There are two types of people in this world: Those who say that something needs to be done, and those who say they will do something. Marc Mero is a doer. Marc speaks from the heart when he says: "I'm dedicating the rest of my life to helping young people know that there's hope in this world. Anyone can achieve their goals and dreams if they choose to BELIEVE! "At the end of your life… it's not how much money you have in the bank or what kind of car you drove or house you lived in; it's about how much you give and how much of a positive impact you make on another person's life."You can help us make a difference in your school and community by scheduling a Champion of Choices production today!

Principal Greg Jenne
Moravia High School Moravia, NY
One of the biggest challenges I face daily is bullying. Many of the "bullies" have no idea of how much harm they cause in the lives of their victims. Marc's presentation really packs a punch in regards to stopping bullying. The impact with our students was felt immediately. It was like a burden was lifted off of their shoulders and they were ready to get on with their lives, and together, put a stop to bullying. The presentation touches all students and staff, and takes them on a roller coaster ride of emotions, through the highs and lows of Marc's life and career. Kudos to Marc and his staff for touching the lives of 400 students, this was the most valuable presentation ever presented to our school!
High School Student - Florida
Marc, I was in your presentation today at my High School. I was sitting in the back, by myself & I was going to go home, and take my own life, then I saw your program... I thought about my mom. How much she loves me. I thought about your story, and why God still has me here. I bawled my eyes out in the bathroom, and realized I'm here for a reason. YOU made me realize that, you saved my life.. You came on the perfect day, right when i'd had enough. Thank you.
High School Student - New York
I was truly moved by your whole presentation, but what really stood out to me was all the death in your life, and also the teen suicides that you have come across. I have contemplated suicide before, but I always come to the conclusion that I deserve to live to be married and have children, and that it wouldn't be fair to hurt my loved ones like that. But something about your presentation really made me think more seriously about the whole subject. After learning about all you've been through, it's showed me that someone who's seen quite darker times than myself can pull through it, and that I should be able to as well. I've been truly inspired by you.

Health Secretary letter fight to save heart unit
12:00pm Friday 3rd August 2012 in Local news
A senior councillor will tell a secretary of state it is 'unacceptable' for the children's heart surgery unit at a Leeds hospital to close.
Councillor Mike Gibbons, chairman of Bradford Council's health overview and scrutiny committee, will write to Health Secretary, Andrew Lansley.
He is the latest person to add his voice to condemnation of the decision to close the Leeds General Infirmary centre, which provides care for youngsters across the district and the whole of Yorkshire.
Members of the committee have voted to request Coun Gibbons writes to Mr Lansley backing calls from the council and the Joint Health Overview and Scrutiny Committee for Yorkshire and the Humber for a rethink on the decision taken last month.
The announcement came after a three-year nationwide review of heart services by Sir Neil McKay, chairman of the Joint Committee of Primary Care Trusts.
He has said he will defend his decision with 'rigour' after it was called in and referred to Mr Lansley, who will inspect the review and Sir Neil's conclusions, and has the power to overturn the closure.
But Coun Gibbons, who represents the Ilkley ward, will now compose a response to Mr Lansley as soon as possible, and said many feel Sir Neil has made the wrong choice.
He added: "The overwhelming feeling in the Bradford area is the decision is simply unacceptable.
"It must be obvious to almost everyone apart from Sir Neil McKay and his committee that the statistics involved and the numbers of people affected far outweigh other consider-ations, particularly given Leeds is highly effective as a cardiac unit.
"The decision taken will also have an impact on adult cardiac services in Leeds."
If the decision is backed by Mr Lansley, families will be forced to take children to the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle for treatment.
Coun Gibbons' committee also decided to refer Sir Neil's decision to Mr Lansley, and to receive a further report in a meeting next month.

The line up for sitting with Big Moo grows longer as one after the other her sycophants capitulate to another Valerie Jarrett directive that they show up on time and act as though the love and care for this bag of dung.
Hilarious. "Made in China"; shoveling the cash offshore - real American heroes.
Of course he is attending; he is the representative that is specific to the gay agenda that the president will mention. We must have someone gay in attendance to acknowledge the goodness of the ONE.
Crony capitalism on display.
Reason #64 to boycott Apple products. Right behind #63 which is that they are way, way overpriced.
Get Valerie Jarrett under oath!!
Golly! I´d heard all the guests this year would be victims of gun violence.I appreciate another commenter ´splainin´ that he´s the Token Gay Guy.I don´t s´pose the $16 trillion national debt is part of the state of the union. (If it´s mentioned, it will probably be Dear Leader declaring that it´s being handled expertly by his team of luminaries.)The state of the union is as grim right now as it´s been in my lifetime.
I will never buy an Apple product.
I would think that Barak and Mooch invited Cook to sit with the big butt one. Good move on Cook´s part to accept. Apple can use them when needed in DC issues. There is zero crony capitalism associated with Apple. When i was there in the 80s, Apple refused to do business with the feds. We appointed a federal oriented dealer in VA, rather than sign a GSA agreement.
Innovation is dead at Apple. From now on they will have to make money via inertia.So, now they want to get in the Crony Capitalism pipeline - and suck from the govt teat.
Well....there goes my Apple stock.These guys need to think abbout what they are doing. It can be like the Dixie Chicks....here today and gone tomorrow.
Oh the one percent get to sit beside the Queen, how rich. Indeed.
Not buying Apple...go away Communists...will vote with my money and my feet
I´d like to see a president with the smarts to pull the plug on this dog and pony farce.Make a 30 minute address from the Oral Orifice whilst sending the written reporton the State of the Union as required by law to Congress and be done with it.Save money (a million bucks or more), protect security (no mass gummint gathering)and get on with business.The theatrics are nonsensical and phony.Lyndon Johnson is the one who bastardizedthis spectacle. It goes hand and hand with a laundry list of gargantuan spending ideas.Time we ditched it... long overdue in fact.
they obviously dont pay their fair share
#11 - Exactly. I´m afraid we´re in the Era of Sculley the Second. Apple stock went down by half during the year he did that.
Amazing, the overlap between the drinkers of Apple koolaid and the drinkers of leftie koolaid. They both get a lot of practice lining up like lemmings for expensive, um, solid waste.(It was grape-flavored Flavor-Aid, of course, but koolaid is the meme.)
No Apple products for me and mine.
Apple is a cult. The new ceo wanted to look like the last and in his case when he was ill. Look at photos of the two. Just creepy.

Allan who was in charge was awesome, great attitude, approachable and friendly when ever we came across him. The bad points are the local lady on the desk who came across nice when she checked us in but after that she came across rude and not very friendly when asking what there was to see and do around town. Also the young local who plonked our teas down on the table and did the same with our toast which looked like a 2yr old slapped together. Replace these two as they give bad attitude

Sally good to have you here a pleasure let's hope taxes.
I thought it was very nice -- Mitt -- -- that he paid at least 13%.
For the last five years yesterday.
Jim -- I didn't just strikes me.
As on the surface that wasn't the smartest thing to say.
Because everybody sitting there thinking really thirteen.
Rod went to -- the third tee and you've got my tax has also.
The question of what's to -- -- greater than denominator as is it you know one dollar million dollars 13%.
You know one dollars on March.
I said from the beginning that -- in the slow motion processes.
Negotiating with the media on this that this position -- I'm not gonna -- my tax returns is not sustainable.
And every week there's an -- -- new details dribbles out.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Reporter XY or Z.
Pull out in the days and weeks to come.
Yeah -- is this so it exists of fire with him really.
Lie Arizona's the -- yeah.
Right that's the end of the show.
OK okay we have agreement around the table here let's.
But it's in this this is an issue that the Democrats are having a lot of fun wind and that the challenge today selling oh you're -- give us a five years we'll stop asking.
Yeah I mean -- I think by the way is and I'm not sure actually -- deal I would put on the table I really think -- Keep pushing for him to release the -- -- -- that that most candidates -- certainly that his father set a precedent for.
But look.
That you know the Republican -- they're trying to say this is just a side issue.
I do not think -- -- -- -- -- because it you know we know people vote for candidates based on character and your willingness to be forthright.
With the American people as opposed to office sort of smug elitist not study anything.
Is part of that character.
But also more fundamentally this election is going to be about taxes this election is about.
How we balance our budget how we provide for the future our country do we do that.
By as Obama has done cutting taxes for 95% of Americans -- -- we're gonna raise them on millionaires and billionaires.
To pay for the things we -- -- Or her as Romney Ryan wants to do.
Getting rid of those tax breaks for 95% of Americans.
And cutting taxes further for millionaires and billionaires to the point where Romney himself -- said he would pay less than 9%.
It's a central issue in his ability to me up right about and and forthright about it is.
This -- -- Charles Greece wants to correct means they Jonathan -- -- that if that if you include charity donations it would add up to about 20% thank you Charles long.
And our budgets -- rebuild the letter that -- or part of the lead of the Jim Messina sent to the Romney campaign manager Matt Rhodes.
It read in part if the governor will release five years.
Our returns I commit -- that we will not criticize him for not releasing more neither NASA nor -- public communications or commentary.
For the rest of that campaign.
And it did it strikes me.
Won the -- to pick up on something you were saying before we went on that.
The Democrats are doing a very good job.
Absolutely and boy what a cynical act -- -- missing.
I think we want to talk about the other years that you have at least if you give us about well why would they talk about those five man back -- Romney thing is -- and Mitt Romney is that it.
If they -- this will give ammunition to mr.
Romney's critics.
To a fairly well why because there's something in there you've had to make a decision that there's some dynamite in -- that it's worse.
They're not releasing them and not releasing them now if they persistent member.
Under this out.
Under his -- saddle so when Jim says you know I would -- I think every political consultant that I bump into.
Or cause me to tell me I'm stupid for what I don't know if then they are those that.
So why do you think -- -- hasn't released those and then they also begin their own.
Paranoid conspiracy theory as to what's really going on and I -- I think everybody Republican and Democrat thinks -- -- get this out of my way take this the way around the Democrats they're beating you about the head with it.
-- -- the conservative response this is is frequently.
Well if he paid thirty -- he paid millions and millions of dollars that's a lot of money but really didn't.
That isn't a false argument the amount you pay isn't -- the percentage that is that we should all be just fine.
Well understood conservative talk to say that's a lot of money and leave it that I would I just don't think this is sustainable life I think than the whole spirit of the changes disclosure transparency and total truth.
And to not do that but again now have -- establish a position a month ago that's it two years no more.
These are stuck with it and instead they're now negotiating we write these people and and that is really -- because if you if you had your position don't get swami.
Day in day out.
All right let's look -- let's look at the other side salami.
It's like -- is gonna picture I think hey that's not how -- I play by play we'll way to -- Larissa today with a solo had predominantly.
Let's get to it -- good problems on the other side with the Democrats don't need a sustainable us Sally and Democrat crap no -- Vice President Biden sustainable.
Yeah I mean you know yeah look he's outlive us all he's out survive this all I mean how many can survive the political career win like daily -- The guys like the Energizer bunny of -- he just becomes obvious he's not yelling they must feel -- I don't know.
A look I think that at the end of the day his sort of -- inside his head is very valuable to President Obama into the country.
You know it's certainly going to be interesting vice president to make the guy is impeccable.
In terms of foreign policy NN has a long record in terms of domestic policy.
Oh do I wish you would think a little bit more before you speak from time to time the right -- no yeah but she can't always get to one -- you know.
I would say let vice presidential nominee's advantage and detain -- really yeah.
So I said it's a -- -- looked at what was it a picture full of warm spit or something along the hacker problem and that if and from Dan Quayle will be able to spell potato to Sarah Palin seeing Russia from the edge of the last half.
Not a house which he never -- that that was Tina Fey but there isn't it and it doesn't really matter does it.
Well I don't know if it doesn't it what what -- thing is most people don't know who Paul Ryan is to this moment.
People are just being introduced -- -- he and it's it's again interest thing because I -- everyone on this panel knows Paul Ryan knows his work is that chairman of the House Budget Committee.
But for most Americans it's a cipher like who is that when and so they're being introduced and defining Paul Ryan as part of the political dynamic taking place at this moment.
Democrats trying to make him into a demon wants to destroy Medicare Republicans wanted to make him into Hewitt is trying to save Medicaid so that it depends on your perspective.
But ultimately people don't vote on BP there's no evidence that people actually vote.
Caveat I would throw in here -- is this.
That given that Mitt Romney often -- it's uncertain about his policy his tax prescriptions and job creation policies.
People -- propriety of that.
Jean Paul Ryan actually puts forward his ideas and his policy that's been voted on it got passed in the House of Representatives.
And so it's filling in some of what people are thinking represents.
Mitt Romney and then again it gives the Democrats a big target to shoot it.
Didn't want managed to definitely shift your question -- That I -- -- -- football I don't.
And he's very yeah.
I mean I think but to answer your question I think that if I mean Biden I mean I -- -- what that was her -- very.
Ten US defense.
If if the mainstream media went after by the way they went very well in 1988 -- through his vice presidency you would be the same laughingstock that they quit because he -- -- -- -- take every dumb quote -- for senator misspelling.
And multiply by -- and get Biden.
And yet the media don't -- an island and that's -- -- What are you said you said before you came in that built the Ryan pick.
Is the smallest that is given lived there at the top of the ticket in this case governor only the smallest bump -- since Dan Quayle who.
I don't know if it's -- in the Obama.
But Quayle was viewed by the American people according to Gallup more negatively right but he's the only vice president picked vice presidential pick that was -- more negative press in this press -- okay.

TUCSON - Imagine having your car stolen not just once but twice
It happened to one Tucson man. You'll be shocked to learn where Matt Carpenter's twice-stolen Jeep Cherokee rolled away from just days before he went to get it back.
Matt contacted the News 4 Tucson Investigators to help get some answers.
"Sometime between 10pm, September 8th, and 1am. That's when I found out the jeep was gone."
He called Tucson Police, made a report but key information was missing.
"I didn't have the plate number because it was a California plate, I hadn't memorized it. I didn't have the VIN number on me."
Matt just got the Jeep back from his brother who drove it from San Diego.
"And that's when we were going to switch everything over, was actually the day after the Jeep was stolen."
When Matt called police with the plate number, they had good news.
"That vehicle has been recovered. It turns out it was pulled over less than 24 hours after it was stolen," Matt explains.
It was pulled over by Mesa Police. The investigators went there to see what went down.
"The driver, driving the vehicle had a suspended license so both of those qualify for a 30 day tow," says Sgt. Tony Landato with the Mesa Police Department.
The driver was cited and released. The Jeep did not come back as stolen when the officer ran the plate.
Mesa Police had the Jeep impounded at Apache Sands Towing in Maricopa County.
Matt made arraignments for a ride. He called Apache Sands Towing one last time.
"I want to make sure I have everything. I'm like, 'I need this. I need that'. And they're like, 'Oh! You already picked up the vehicle,'" recalls Matt.
That's right. Someone else picked up the Jeep a few days before Matt could get to Mesa.
How can that happen? It turns out Matt's brother put the title in a sealed envelope in the glove box while Matt thought it was in the mail.
According to police reports we obtained from Mesa Police, it appears someone got their hands on the title, forged it, got a new title at a third party D.M.V. office and used that to take the vehicle out of the tow yard.
To make matters worse, Sgt. Landato explains, "The tow yard is actually in what we call a county island, Maricopa County island, so again another law enforcement district.
Matt says he contacted Maricopa County Sheriff's Department from Tucson. He says they told him, he would have to appear in person with all the relevant paper work to make a report.
Matt wants to know why Mesa Police didn't know the car was stolen when they pulled it over the night it was stolen in the first place.
It didn't come back as stolen, because the plate and VIN number were missing from the original report. So while a report was opened, there was not enough information for police to enter the Jeep in the database law enforcement uses to track stolen cars.
Matt also thought it would be obvious if the car was tampered with - hot-wired.
Sgt. Landato says officers always look for those signs. He says not all stolen cars are hot-wired with easy to see damage on the steering column. Some crooks are able to use tumbler or master keys.
Even though it wasn't in their jurisdiction, Mesa Police opened a second report on that forgery case, anticipating they might turn their findings over to Maricopa County Sheriff's Department. Mesa detectives investigated several leads but never found the Jeep.
Matt tells us he recently received word, his Jeep was exported to Mexico.
Here are some tips from both Tucson and Mesa Police which will help prevent some of these pitfalls in the event your car is stolen.
• Properly and quickly register your car and have a proper title, even if it is a transfer from one family member to another.
• Never leave a title in your vehicle and never leave it unsigned or "open"
• Take a photo of your car showing the license number
• Take a photo of your insurance card showing the VIN number.

Get him out of here........
Oh, hey. Her positions are up now. http://colbertbuschforcongress.com/issues/
And I'm totally taking credit for that until they deny that it was because of my column.
And even then, I'm taking credit for it.
It took me eight months to figure out what that flag represented, but I did it all on my own.
That fucker's ghostwriter writes for this joint, too.
He's a helmet as well. He's really going down with the Tea Party Ship.
Sucks to be wrong.
Which brings me to this point: if the Hell that Jim DeMint purports to believe in exists, then I hope he burns in it.
So very honored and blessed! I have the best job on earth! It takes a team of dedicated staff,volunteers and donors to do the amazing work at charleston animal society! Congrats to all of them! We are the BEST LOCAL CAUSE.
yes too many jerks are Limboss wannabees, feeling totally entitled to unlimited sex or blaming women "objects" for saying no to their demands... this is the verbal facade to rapists, battering domestic "partners" and those who'd force a woman to stay pregnant with such jerk progeny
What a pick -- right in the middle of the Limbaugh blow-up. I suppose he'd fit right in with all the GOP pols who preach purity and get caught with their pants down.
Editor alert: Correct usage in this case is "Have you ever swum...."
I agree with bill e. Grampa Joe may be getting on in years, but until a viable candidate can step forward who has a reasonable chance of accomplishing even a quarter of what Mayor Riley has for this city, I'm sticking with him.
maybe about time to let someone else try their hand at being mayor. it would be nice to see what just one other mayor would do, since he's been in what, 34 or so years?
however in the last 15 years, there as been a radical improvement to the downtown area, places i can go without immediate threat to my well-being, so i guess he can't be all bad.
I'm open to any evidence to the contrary.
He has no vision and he doesn't listen.
Great story! FYI - Our gay troops are saying "Do Ask, Do Tell" now at http://OutMilitary.com - the New Social Network for Gay Service members.
Dan Davis has done a great job for Berkeley County and it showed in the election results.
Agreed. Give Bill a key.
I guess you'd need to define "good" political fights. Their tactics have something to be desired.
The SCCCL started off as a good organiczation but has, over the years, created a bureaucracy in their organization that requires creating crisis after crisis to keep funded.
Good organization. Liked the window painting they did a few years back.
I just wish that Riley would put Planning Director Tim Keane ns a leaky rowboat during the crosstown flooding. Keane and his band of we-will-grant-a-variance for anything planners have ruined life in the city.
Last time I looked at state law, variances for parking, height and setbacks required proving a "hardship" existed. Since the BZA doesn't care about state law, this doesn't apply to Charleston.
Mrs. Zucker is the best of the best. Excellent choice, Charleston.

Anime's Media Mix: Franchising Toys and Characters in Japan, by Marc Steinberg. Illustrated. [1]
* Editor's Note - Each image below is a thumbnail to an excellent higher-res image. Just click the image to open up the larger version.
There have been dozens if not hundreds of studies, both popular and academic, on Japanese comics and animation; on the genre, the industry, and the individual characters, on the cartoonists, on the social phenomenon in Japan and in America, even on the "cosplaying": the dressing-up as favorite cartoon characters by their fans. Marc Steinberg, an assistant professor of film studies at Montreal's Concordia University, takes an original approach. He has studied what he calls "the media mix"; the merchandising of the anime characters that he argues has been of equal importance in leading to their popularity and cultural influence.
"According to Steinberg, both anime and the media mix were ignited on January 1, 1963, when Astro Boy hit Japanese TV screens for the first time. Sponsored by a chocolate manufacturer with savvy marketing skills, Astro Boy quickly became a cultural icon in Japan. He was the poster boy (or, in his case, "sticker boy") both for Meiji Seika's chocolates and for what could happen when a goggle-eyed cartoon child fell into the eager clutches of creative marketers. It was only a short step, Steinberg makes clear, from Astro Boy to Pokémon and beyond." (publisher's blurb).
Anime's Media Mix is a very academic study. Steinberg first defines his terms. "Otherwise known as transmedia or cross-media seriality, or by the North American media industry terms repurposing or media synergy, the term convergence now refers to the ways in which particular texts are made to proliferate across media forms, from television to novel to comic to video game to toy." (p. vii). He defines media mix broadly: "The rise of the media mix is thus intimately bound up with social, economic, and cultural transformations that many writers have associated with the term postmodernism or post-Fordism. These changes were facilitated by the rise of the animated character as a central element of media forms, advertising and consumption that began in Japan of the 1960s." (pgs. xi-xii).
Steinberg focuses upon two models and examines them in depth. First is the cartoon character Tetsuwan Atomu, known in America as Astro Boy. Although he was a popular magazine comic-strip or comic-book character in the 1950s, Steinberg concentrates on the merchandising of his television animation persona beginning on January 1, 1963. The foundations of Japanese cartooning and animation are covered in pages 1 to 36; "Candies, Premiums, and Character Merchandising: The Meiji-Atomu Marketing Campaign" in pages 37 to 86; and "Material Communication and the Mass Media Toy" in pages 87 to 132. In the latter Steinberg traces the merchandising of Japanese popular cartoon characters back to the 1930s with Tagawa Suihō's Norakuro puppy-dog-soldier in the 1930s Imperial Army, concentrates again upon the Tetsuwan Atomu merchandising around the megapopular 1963-66 TV series, and casually mentions the cartoon character merchandising since then that needs no introduction such as Hello Kitty and Pokémon.
The second is the anime media merchandising of Kadokawa Books, one of Japan's largest publishing companies. Kadokawa has long been a vigorous promoter of its cartoon characters in manga and both television and theatrical animation. "The impetus for the introduction of American-style marketing was the September 1955 trip of top management executives from Japan to the United States for the purpose of observing and learning from the business practices of U.S. companies." (pgs. 136-137). After a brief study of the Tetsuwan Atomu comic books and official fan club of the small Mushi Production Company of the 1960s, Steinberg tells of Kadokawa Books' inheritance in 1975 by Haruhi Kadokawa, the founder's son, and of his expansion of the company into a modern media empire with live-action and animation film and TV production, not to mention the publication of one of Japan's largest lines of manga; and of the takeover of the company by Haruhi's brother Tsuguhiko in 1993.
There are a few illustrations of pre-1963 media advertising for children's products (including one of Donald Duck), and lots of images from the 1963-66 Tetsuwan Atomu TV animation and the advertising for its licensed candies, stickers, and inflatable toys. There are over a hundred pages of Notes, a Bibliography, and an Index.
Anime's Media Mix is invaluable for pointing out that anime characters owe much of their popularity to the advertising of their commercial tie-ins. Some examples of advertising and tie-ins besides the 1963-66 Tetsuwan Atomu would have been nice – the barely-mentioned Hello Kitty or the completely unmentioned Kidō Senshi Gundamu, for instance. I would have also like to have seen some specific examples of Kadokawa Books's relations with its characters' fans instead of just talking about them in abstract terms.
Fred Patten has been a fan of animation since the first theatrical rerelease of Pinocchio (1945). He co-founded the first American fan club for Japanese anime in 1977, and was awarded the Comic-Con International's Inkpot Award in 1980 for introducing anime to American fandom. He began writing about anime for Animation World Magazine since its #5, August 1996. A major stroke in 2005 sidelined him for several years, but now he is back.

Head over to Gamespot for a preview of what we can expect to see reveals of at E3, as they have an in-game trailer (we're working on a dissection) and an exclusive interview with Lead Writer Daniel Erickson, Lead PvP Designer Gabe Amatangelo, and Lead Systems Designer Damion Schubert. Some of the features BioWare will unveil at E3 include a new Blur-produced CG trailer, hands-on with the planet Tatooine, mounts, Warzones, and our first look at raids -- or what BioWare calls "Operations."
Gabe Amantangelo: What you'd know as raids in other MMOs, we're calling "operations" in Star Wars: The Old Republic. Operations will be epic, multi-group events with settings and immersive gameplay inspired by scenes in the Star Wars movies. For examples, players will have to navigate the environment as a powerful Force wielder brings down the room around them; they'll have to work together to solve a code and fend off enemies while they're cornered, and so on.
Additionally, players will be able to enjoy operations as soon as they hit level 50. There will be varying difficulty modes, much like what is found in other BioWare games. The challenge, mechanics, and rewards will vary with the modes. So both the casual and hardcore player will be able to enjoy epic content alongside multiple groups of friends.
Damion Schubert discusses the use of speeders and vehicles in game. He says they were originally torn between animal mounts and vehicles, but ultimately decided with vehicles as it fit better with the overall iconic feel of Star Wars. He also discusses the approach behind crafting and creating a system that either a casual or dedicated crafter can enjoy. Gabe Amatangelo talks about the open-world feel, and how players will be able to attack each other on sight on PvP servers, or on PvE servers if they toggled on their PvP flag.
The interview also touches on Crew Skills, space, boss fights, world story arcs, and more. This year looks to be the biggest yet for BioWare and Star Wars: The Old Republic, and we'll be there to cover it all.
Our Working Dissection is in the Media Gallery below. As with all dissections, we will not cover things seen in the past unless it is important. Feel free to join us in the comments section and let us know what you find. If you find something and we decide to use it, we will credit you. Make sure to keep checking back for more throughout the weekend.

Kristen Stewart Injures Foot
Published: May 6, 2012
Kristen Stewart Injures Foot, Kristen Stewart picked up a lasting reminder of the Twilight films when she suffered a nasty "puncture wound" during last-minute reshoots for the vampire franchise's final installment.
The actress flew back to Vancouver, Canada with boyfriend and co-star Robert Pattinson last month (Apr12) to shoot additional footage for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2.
But production was brought to a halt after Stewart injured her foot while working on scenes in which her vampire character Bella Swan goes on her first hunt.
Stewart could be seen limping as she appeared on U.S. talk show The Tonight Show, and she told host Jay Leno, "I wasn't trying to have ultimate swag when I walked out (to the interview) – I hurt my foot. I wasn't trying to get out of wearing heels either. Puncture wound, promise!"
But the 22 year old admits she was thrilled with the work she did on set. (Contactmusic)

Hannah Anderson, the California teenager whose abduction triggered a manhunt across the West, has survived "a tremendous, horrific ordeal" and faces a slow healing process, her father said Monday.
"I am very proud of her and I love her very much," Brett Anderson said. "She is surrounded by the love of her family, friends and community."
But authorities kept the detail of that horrific ordeal close to the vest Monday, two days after the man accused of abducting Hannah and killing her mother and brother was killed by an FBI agent.
The 16-year-old was found alive after a frantic, week-long search that stretched from southern California to the wilderness of central Idaho, more than 1,000 miles away, where she was found at a campsite by a mountain lake. At a news conference in San Diego, Brett Anderson thanked investigators as well as reporters and social media users who spread the story "across and beyond" the United States.
"Have no doubt that this did make a difference," he said. But he said it was time "for us to grieve and move on to the healing process," and he pleaded for the "respect and time" needed for that to happen.
Hannah's ordeal came to an end after a tip from horseback riders sent FBI agents swarming to a camping spot outside Cascade, Idaho. James DiMaggio, the man investigators had sought in her disappearance, was shot in a confrontation with an FBI tactical agent. Hannah told authorities that DiMaggio fired at least once before being shot, San Diego County Sheriff Bill Gore said.
"Obviously we would have liked for Mr. DiMaggio to surrender and face justice in the court of law," Gore said. "But that's not going to be the case."
Hannah did not appear to have significant physical injuries and was reunited with her father Sunday. She was unaware that her mother and brother were dead until after DiMaggio was killed, when she was told of their killings by FBI interviewers, Gore said.
Gore would discuss no details of Hannah's abduction except to say she was under "extreme duress" the entire time. He said the investigation is still going on, but cautioned, "We might never know some of these answers."
"When you get a completely irrational act like we've seen here, with two murders and a kidnapping, sometimes you're not going to come up with a rational explanation of what happened," he said.
'Uncle Jim' and his interest in Hannah
DiMaggio's friendship with the Anderson family had been long and close, predating Hannah's birth. Hannah referred to him as "Uncle Jim."
But there were some signs that DiMaggio was infatuated with Hannah and signs he was trying to lure the family to his home in rural San Diego County, near the Mexican border, her grandparents said.
The signs were subtle, according to grandparents Ralph and Sara Britt, also of San Diego.
"He seemed to enjoy being with Hannah and her friends ... more and more," Ralph Britt said, shaking his head. "But he's been with the kids for years."
"There was no danger sign, nothing that you would act on, say it was wrong," he said. "It was just friendly."
But a friend of Hannah's said she saw a different side to the relationship between DiMaggio and the teen.
Marissa Chavez told CNN that she was in a car with Hannah and DiMaggio, 40, a few months ago when he told Hannah he had a crush on her.
He followed it up by saying if he was her age, he would date Hannah, Chavez said.
Hannah was unnerved by the comments, but did not tell her mother because she did not want to ruin the close relationship that her parents had with DiMaggio, Chavez said.
But Hannah did not want to be alone with DiMaggio after that, according to Chavez.
"I don't think she would have gone willingly with him at all," she said.
In an earlier episode, Chavez recalled a trip that DiMaggio and Hannah took to Hollywood.
The trip was supposed to be for one week, but Hannah told Chavez that they came back after two days because DiMaggio was upset that she wasn't paying enough attention to him.

Honda manufactures approximately 500 thousand lawnmowers per year in the United States, France, Australia, China and Italy*, and supplies them to Australia and other countries in addition to the two largest markets: North America and Europe. Local production began at an early stage, starting in the United States in 1984 and in France in 1986, in accordance with our policy of "producing products where they are in demand." We currently also conduct research and development locally. The lawnmowers sold in Japan are produced in the United States and France.
All Honda lawnmowers incorporate the GXV or GCV engine that features high performance, low fuel consumption and clean exhaust gas emissions. The unique Honda Smart Drive transmission allows the speed to be freely controlled by incorporating a Hydrostatic Transmission (HST) mechanism and ergonomic control lever, enabling the optimum speed to be quickly and easily selected according to operating conditions. In addition, the unit incorporates the BBC safety mechanism that immediately stops rotation of the blade when the clutch is released, and the VMS mechanism that allows the processing method of the cut grass to be controlled. Honda lawnmowers receive a high level of satisfaction from users because of the diverse range of advanced mechanisms that they incorporate.
This unique hydraulic stepless shifting mechanism developed by Honda allows forward and reverse motion, and acceleration and deceleration to be freely controlled with a single lever. Development of the ultra-compact HST facilitated installation of this type of shifting mechanism for the first time in the world. In addition to lawnmowers, the HST mechanism is used on snow throwers and transport equipment.
This mechanism can adjust the position of the shutter inside the lawnmower cover to multiple settings according to current needs between bagging where the cut grass is bagged to mulching for which the grass is cut into fine pieces and returned to the lawn. When the best looking cut possible is desired, 100% bagging is selected, while 100% mulching is selected for getting the work done easily and quickly. The user can easily set the desired percentage of bagging and mulching with the control lever.
The high-performance high-quality HR21 (released in 1978) was developed as Honda's first lawnmower with the goal of becoming the No. 1 lawnmower in the world, featuring a low-noise low- vibration high-performance vertical engine, easy operation and a high level of safety and durability. The HR21 incorporated the BBC mechanism that stops the blade within three seconds in the event the clutch lever is released while the engine continues to operate. Current lawnmower safety regulations in the United States are based on this safety mechanism that was developed by Honda before any other company in the world.
