Teen Wolf Comes to MTV
Life is hard for the teenage werewolf. Scott was an ordinary high-school kid until that one night in the woods… Now, he finds himself with amazing new abilities, coupled with horrific new urges and hungers. Not to mention the inconvenience of transforming into a growling werewolf every time he gets angry — or excited, like when his would-be girlfriend is in sight. To make life more complicated, the werewolf who bit him in the first place wants to be friends in human form, and the leader of a posse out to rid the countryside of werewolves is also the father of the girl our hero has his eyes on! Having almost nothing to do with the Michael J. Fox Teen Wolf film (obviously), the new Teen Wolf TV series stars Tyler Posey as Scott. It’s coming to MTV (formerly Music Television) on June 5th. MTV has a trailer and some more information up on their web site.
Freeway extension rattles snakes
Author: ringtailedfox
In recent days, the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario (MTO) has erected a two-meter (six foot) tall fence, stretching 9 kilometers (about 5.5 miles) along the threatened eastern fox snake‘s habitat in the city’s west end.
The special fabric fence – which extends below ground level – was erected because the snake can climb and slither beneath regular fences. The MTO was concerned that snakes might wander into the construction zone, where they would be at risk.
The fence was built with assistance from the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources to keep the construction project in compliance with the Endangered Species Act, as work begins on extending Highway 401 west towards the proposed bridge to Detroit.

Police are asking parents to search the Xbox Live friend’s lists of their children for the gamer tag of Formic Hivemind – the online name of accused pedophile Richard Kretovic.
The police in Greece, New York indicate the 19-year-old sexually abused an under 13-year-old in the basement of his house after the two met and struck up a friendship on Xbox Live. Police are asking locals of Greece, NY that if they find the Gamertag “Formic Hivemind” on their child’s Xbox Live account, to contact them immediately.
Police say Kretovic and the child he’s accused of abusing met more than once and that they are investigating whether there were more victims.
Online gaming is a major way many kids communicate. Parents should be aware of this fact, and that most gaming consoles have these features. You can control your privacy settings to limit someone finding out your location and other information that may put you in danger. Because these systems use the internet and game play can often be global, not just locked down to a local area, you really don’t know who you are playing with online. The message here is to be careful and be aware of who your children are communicating with.
Brian Crecente from gaming site Kotaku explains his strategy for keeping his 9-year-old safe:
“I use parental controls to limit the amount of time my 9-year-old son can play in a week, and I also don’t allow him to chat with anyone who isn’t on his friend’s lists. Finally, I have to authorize the addition of any new friends to that list with a password. Before I do that I make sure that I’ve met the new friend, in person, before authorizing that addition.”
Protect Your Child
1. On your computer go to Xbox.com and sign in to your account.
2. Go to My Xbox and Family Center
3. Select your or your child’s avatar and select Online Safety Settings.
4. Allow or block the options available. I allow my son to play online but block the ability to accept friend requests. I also only allow him to communicate with friends. I only allow friends to see his history, status and profile.
5. When a friend request for your child comes in, you will be asked to enter your Xbox Live password to authorize it.

04/19/2011
By: Phoenix Audubon
On March 21, 2011, the rebooted series, “Hawaii Five-O,” aired an episode entitled, “Na Me’e Laua Na Paio,” (Hawaiian: “Heroes and Villains”) where an attendee to the “SpectacuCon” comic book convention is murdered at a nearby hotel. Chin checks the victim’s phone, where there is a text message that says, “Be carefule, he’s looking for you,” from one “Psycho Kitty.” An icon shows a woman wearing a white wig, black eye mask, and black cat ears.
When the Five-O team visits SpectacuCon and ask a “Trekkie” where they can find Psycho Kitty, they are directed to the “Furry Fandom” section of the convention floor. Sure enough, there is a poster that says “Furry Fandom” on it, and the team comes upon a group of fursuiters, as well as Psycho Kitty herself.
Unfortunately, the episode is no longer available online. However, there is a clip available on CBS.com that shows the image of the phone text message and Psycho Kitty. The recap of the episode is here: http://www.cbs.com/primetime/hawaii_five_0/recaps/119/recaps.php
Abandoned cats and dogs roam Fukishima
Author: GreenReaper
Judging by compensation payouts, almost 50,000 households were affected by evacuations from the vicinity of the Fukushima I nuclear power plant – not counting those who died in the tsunmai. Many kept pets, and were forced to leave them behind when the call to leave came.
The animals are now trying to survive on what they were left or can scavenge from the area. Reports of a breeder’s pack of shelties in Minamis?ma led to a rescue mission, but many fled.
Local cats are also affected. While some have been fed and rescued, others found their own food (note: graphic imagery). [furryne.ws: 1, 2]
