PARK FALLS, Wis. (WSAU) - Murder charges have been filed against a Park Falls man for the stabbing death of his wife in late August.
46-year-old William Rambo made an initial court appearance Tuesday in Price County Court on a first-degree homicide charge. He is accused of getting into an altercation with his estranged wife Dawn, and then stabbing and slashing at her with a knife. Dawn had kicked William out of their home, and he was trying to resolve the problem when the argument broke out.
Dawn Rambo ran to a neighbor's home after the August 22nd attack, and a law enforcement officer transported her to the nearest hospital knowing she couldn't wait for the ambulance. She was dead forty minutes later.
New court dates have not been set for Rambo, but he did request a preliminary hearing before Price County Judge Mark Fuhr.

BEIDA LAKE, China (AP) -- American Hannah Kearney won her 15th straight World Cup moguls event Sunday, breaking downhill great Ingemar Stenmark's all-discipline record for consecutive FIS World Cup victories.
Kearney, from Norwich, Vt., won after stumbling on top and barely making the four-skier super finals.
Stenmark won 14 straight giant slaloms in 1978-80.
Kearney's streak began in Lake Placid, N.Y., on Jan. 22, 2011.

"I buy what I appreciate," said Leonard, when asked about his interests in art. "I like color, shapes. I like the free-ness of the colors. The pieces just suited us."
Life has slowed for both, and now their favorite destination is the solarium Leonard adores. It extends from what used to be the front of the house down toward the pool. Glass-enclosed and with an irrigation/sprinkler system, the in-ground garden is planted with orchids and a variety of green and flowering plants and is gently lit from the rafters above at night to magical effect.
"If someone sends me a plant, we find a place for it," said Leonard, who has also taken up painting. "Even in winter, I am surrounded by flowers and plants."
"Leonard wanted to make it a place that was more appropriate for Lainy to be with him," Jenkins said of the space. There are a desk, a computer work station, a television and a beautifully rendered model of the Pride of Baltimore, on which he had the privilege of sailing.
On display in the solarium is the flag that draped Schaefer's coffin, presented to Lainy after the services, which she coordinated. But it was clearly Leonard's space before the changes.
"She wanted to be there with him," said Jenkins. "Our job was to make the room a more special place for the two of them to spend time together."
On the coffee table are heavily annotated bird books, with colored strips marking pages covering birds they have seen outside the windows of their home.
"So many different kinds," said Lainy. "Sometimes we can't find them in any of our books. But they are here for us."

Tata Sky has launched a unique service through which subscribers can save subscription fees while going on their annual vacation.
'Once in 365 Days Subscription Holiday Offer' allows subscribers to temporarily disconnect all Tata Sky services for a minimum of 5 days to a maximum period of 15 days.
So the next time you're on holiday, you don't need to pay anyone. Neither your milkman, nor Tata Sky!
What is the Once in 365 Days Subscription Holiday Offer?
The Once in 365 Days Subscription Holiday Offer allows subscribers to being able to disconnect their Tata Sky services for a minimum period of 5 days to a maximum period of 15 days, at a nominal cost of Rs 20.
If you are planning to take a vacation for more than 5 days, simply call the helpline & request for the Once in 365 Days Subscription Holiday offer. The helpline will take down your request & also confirm the period you would want to avail of this offer. During this period, not exceeding 15 days, your Tata Sky services will be disconnected, but your account balance will be secure. On the date the service is enabled on your connection, a Rs 20 charge will be levied to your account. The services will resume automatically on the date specified by you at the time of making your request or within 15 days; whichever is earlier.
If you had mentioned the exact date at the time of making a request for this service, the services will automatically resume on the date stated by you or 15 days whichever is earlier. However if you are back from your vacation earlier than expected, simply call the helpline & we would be happy to help you resume your services right away.
You could definitely use this service even if you have subscribed to any of our long duration packs. Your long duration period will be extended by the number of days you have utilised this service so that you get a complete 365 days of viewing. Not having a balance for the Rs 20 charge is also not a problem. You could pay for the amount at the time you recharge the next time to renew your annual pack.
On availing of this service all your Tata Sky digicomps will be disconnected. All the digicomps will also resume services simultaneously on the date so determined.
As a monthly pack subscriber, the account balance in your account on the day the service is activated should be at least Rs 20. Should your account balance have fallen below that amount, the service will not get enabled. It is hence advisable that you recharge your account - as not only would be able to use the service but your account balance would remain intact
Yes you can. However, your MultiTV connection will get deactivated on account of the Rs 20 being charged to your account & you will have to recharge once your services resume. Hence it is advisable to have your account recharged & then avail of the service.

The Guild Wars 2 Wikis will be undergoing maintenance on Wednesday, October 1, in order to upgrade the wiki software. The wikis will be unavailable for approximately 90 minutes starting at 17:00 UTC.
Notice something wrong, missing, or unsatisfactory? Feel free to edit pages yourself and make use of discussion pages. Wiki content is created, maintained, and administrated by players. See how you can help.
Command line arguments
Command line arguments are directives which are added to the start up command of the game executable. There are directives which change the client's behavior, streamline player login and enable diagnostics.
Command line arguments can be prefixed with either "-" or "/", so these are the same:
/clientport 80 -clientport 80
Arguments can be separated by space (" ") or colon (":"), so these are the same:
/clientport:80 -clientport 80
[edit] Using command line arguments
- Windows via shortcut
You can execute switches directly from your Guild Wars 2 shortcut:
- Right click on your Guild Wars 2 shortcut and select 'Properties'.
- In the 'Target Area' field you will see the location of your Guild Wars 2 executable file:
...\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe
- Write the desired command line arguments after the quote marks, each beginning with a space:
"...\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe" -perf -windowed
- Windows via start/run
If you don't plan on using an argument frequently, it can be easier to use the Windows' Run command for a single invocation.
- Click the "Start" button
- Select "Run" (not required for Windows 7)
- Enter the path to the
GW2.exein quotes followed by the arguments you wish to use (same as above, but in a single line).
- Press enter.
- Macintosh
- Right/ctrl-click GuildWars2.app and choose ShowPackageContent
- Find Contents>Resources>CiderSettings.plist
- Using TextEdit find this line:
- <string>--cmdline ""</string>
- Add the command line arguments you want between the quotation marks like this:
- <string>--cmdline "-testVerticalFov"</string>
- Via PATH variables
An alternative is to add the GW2 directory to your user PATH environment variable. This allows gw2 to be executed as a command line command, enabling easy access to arguments. After performing the following, GW2 can be invoked as "gw2 -<argument string>" from the command line:
- Start the "run" dialogue, either with Win-R, or by hitting the windows key, entering "run", and hitting enter.
- Enter the following command, without quotes: "control sysdm.cpl", and hit enter to run it.
- Go to the Advanced tab.
- Press the "Environment variables" button at the bottom.
- Double click the PATH variable under "user variables", the top section.
- Prefix the list with "<install directory>;" (without quotes and with the semi-colon)
[edit] List of command line arguments
[edit] -authsrv
- Specifies the IP or DNS that can be used to connect to a login server.
[edit] -autologin
- Launches the game automatically, if the client has been set to remember the Account Name and Password. (This command is unavailable since the 2014 September Feature Pack)
[edit] -bmp
- Forces the game to create lossless screenshots as
.BMP files. Use for creating high-quality screenshots at the expense of much larger files.
[edit] -clientport 80
- Instructs the client to connect to the game servers over port 80 (HTTP) instead of the industry standard gaming port 6112. Some ISPs throttle different port traffic at different times of day so this helps some people get a better connection. (It isn't the default because some ISPs also modify port 80 traffic, which will break the game connection.) Note: -clientport takes an argument but it must be "80".
[edit] -copydat
- Copies all the files in the current dat file to a new dat file.
[edit] -dat
- Uses the specified file instead of the default GW2.dat file.
[edit] -diag
- Instead of launching the game, this command creates a detailed diagnostic file that contains diagnostic data that can be used for troubleshooting. The file,
NetworkDiag.log, will be located in your game directory or "Documents\Guild Wars . If you want to use this feature, be sure to create a separate shortcut for it.

- Enables the Direct3D 9c renderer in single-threaded mode. Improves performance in Wine with CSMT.
[edit] -email

- note: does NOT change email address in Patcher-login screen. Thus it cannot be used WITHOUT -nopatchui.
[edit] -forwardrenderer
- Uses Forward Rendering instead of Deferred Rendering (unfinished).
- This currently may lead to shadows and lighting to not appear as expected.
[edit] -fps
- Sets maximum frames per second parameter.
[edit] -image
- Runs the patch UI only in order to download any available updates; closes immediately without loading the login form.
- Recommended: Create an extra Guild Wars 2 shortcut (e.g. "Guild Wars 2 Updater") specifically to use this command line switch.
[edit] -maploadinfo
- Shows diagnostic information during map loads, including load percentages and elapsed time.
[edit] -mce
- Start the client with Windows Media Center compatibility, switching the game to full screen and restarting Media Center (if available) after the client is closed.

- This command must be used in conjunction with the -email and -password arguments to function, or it will result in a black screen.
[edit] -nomusic
- Disables music and background music.
[edit] -noui
- Disables the user interface. This does the same thing as pressing Ctrl Shift H in the game.
[edit] -nosound
- Disables audio system completely.

- Enables auto-log-in with the specified passsword and either (A) is used with the -email option or (B) details have previously been saved using the "Remember Account Name" checkbox. This argument must not be preceded by any other argument other than -email. The -nopatchui argument must also be specified for this to work (as of Oct 13, 2012). This argument implies -autologin.
- Warning: Putting your password in a shortcut or a batch file makes it easily accessible to everybody with access to your computer.
- Never use this option if you are sharing your computer with other people whom you do not trust completely.
- Example:
- "<...>\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe" -email email@example.com -password 12345 -nopatchui
- Note If your password includes spaces, it needs to be enclosed in quote marks.
- Example:
- "<...>\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe" -email firstname.lastname@example.com -password "1234 5" -nopatchui
[edit] -prefreset
- Resets game settings.
[edit] -repair
- Start the client, checks the files for errors and repairs them as needed. This can take a long time (1/2 hour or an hour) to run as it checks the entire contents of the (currently) 30 gigabyte archive.
- Opens the Gw2.dat file in shared mode so that it can be accessed from other processes while the game is running.
[edit] -uispanallmonitors
- Spreads user interface across all monitors in a triple monitor setup.

|Health points

Light level of 7 or less, 3x3x2 space on solid blocks (spawns only on top of the central block). Top half of space may be occupied by transparent blocks (glass, etc.).

Spiders are common mobs that can be neutral or hostile depending on the light level. They are hostile in light levels of 7 or less, and neutral in light levels of over 7. They do not burn up in sunlight like Zombies and Skeletons. Spiders have the unique ability to climb most blocks vertically, and can see the player through solid blocks.
A spider measures 1.5 x 1.5 x 1 blocks, with black skin and red eyes that glow eerily in the dark. They make distinctive hissing noises.
Spiders can spawn on a 1 x 1 block space, if there are no blocks next to them. Water or glass blocks are considered a block in this regard, glass panes or iron bars are not. They also cannot spawn in a 1 block high space, if the ceiling is a solid block. They can spawn in a 1 block high space, if the ceiling is a transparent block (like glass).
Spiders have the ability to climb vertical block stacks, run fast and can leap 3 - 4 blocks.
Because of their dimensions, Spiders cannot enter 1-block wide spaces that Zombies, Skeletons, and Creepers can, but they can crawl through 1-block high gaps (that are 1.5 blocks wide) whereas most other mobs cannot.
There is a 1% chance that a spider will spawn with a Skeleton on its back, forming the dreaded Spider Jockey. The Skeleton's ability to fire arrows combined with the speed, leaping, and wall-climbing of the Spider makes this a very dangerous opponent.
On Hard difficulty and on a full moon, spiders have a chance of spawning with a single beneficial status effect. This effect can be Swiftness, Strength, Regeneration or Invisibility, and has an essentially infinite duration.
Spiders are a good source of string, which is a critical ingredient of bows, fishing rods and leads and can also be used to make (white) wool. Each spider drops 0 - 2 pieces of string on death. If the player kills the spider (i.e. death is not caused by another mob or mob farm), spider eyes will drop.
Dungeons that contain a spider monster spawner can be fitted with cactus blocks so the player can harvest spider string. Because spiders are 1.5 blocks wide, they cannot pass through a one-block gap between two cactus blocks (or a cactus and a wall) and will press themselves to death against a cactus trying to chase the player. Dungeon doorways can also be modified to trap spiders inside, allowing the player to kill them and obtain spider eyes and experience orbs, as well as the string.
Spiders are hostile as long as the light level immediately around them is 9 or less. If they are found in an area with a higher light level, they won't attack unless a player attacks first. Hostile spiders will continue to chase the player even if they are exposed to daytime or other well-lit locations. Conversely, a spider won't become hostile around a player when roaming in daylight, but if it wanders into a moderately shaded area (e.g. under a tree or rocky overhang) it will turn hostile and remain that way. If a spider sustains damage from a source other than the player, such as falling, its hostility will be reset, so that if it is in a well-lit area, it will not be hostile towards the player.
Spiders can draw line of sight through solid objects. They will pursue the player even when completely cut off from them, so long as they are within the standard aggressive mob's 16 block search radius. The spider will then approach as close as possible and ambush the player even if it subsequently becomes light. Spiders on the surface can also track a player in a cave or tunnel if there is a clear path above the player they can follow and vice versa.
Spiders can climb up over walls and other obstacles as if all blocks had ladders on them. However, spiders are careless and somewhat clumsy climbers and will often fall off other blocks and take fall damage while in pursuit of the player. Spiders do not turn sideways when climbing up walls and cannot climb along the tops of ceilings. When a spider climbs a wall and hits a ceiling or roof, it will fall and take damage. If there are blocks around the top of a wall, a spider will not be able to climb to the top, making this a good defense against the mob. However, if there are no blocks around the top of a building, the spider may climb on top of the roof of the building and ambush the player as they exit the building. Spiders seem to be oblivious to cactus damage as they may touch or even climb onto cacti, often being pricked to their death. This can also be used to the player's advantage when being chased as a spider is oblivious to its own safety when chasing the player.
While not poisonous themselves, Spiders are unaffected by Splash Potions of Poison.
Spiders will often jump around when attacking, making them a moving target and harder to hit. In the Pocket Edition, spiders move at a pace slightly slower than the player's walking speed.
Since they can pounce and move almost as fast as the player when hunting at night or aggravated, spiders should never be underestimated. As the only naturally occurring source of string apart from dungeon chests and cobwebs in abandoned mine shafts and strongholds, preparation and effort can pay off when hunting them. Wearing armor and carrying a stone or iron sword or bow is recommended. A bow is the preferred weapon, as arrows can damage a spider at a safe distance and spiders present a large and visible target due to their size and glowing eyes. When attacking a group of spiders, pick off the ones that aren't too close to others in order to avoid aggravating several at once. In a sword fight, it is best not to charge at a spider directly, but to retreat while attacking when it pounces to avoid getting hit.
Alternatively, the player can dig a narrow trench with a depth of 2 blocks in order to be able to attack spiders safely from underneath, trapping them above the gap. This strategy has mixed results, as some players have reported spiders waiting for them to exit the trench before pouncing, a behavior possibly caused by the AI that makes the spider lose track of the player after a number of unsuccessful attacks and therefore become neutral until the player is visible. Players should also keep in mind that trenches can leave them vulnerable to other mobs (skeletons, zombies, and especially Creepers) in the vicinity.
When attacking or being attacked by spiders, prepared or unprepared, your first priority should be to have the high ground, or if that is not possible, to at least ensure the spider does not have the high ground. When on higher ground the player can continuously attack the spider, preventing it from jumping and avoiding the attack while also ensuring the spider does not have a clear jump on the player. If the spider has the high ground on a player, it is advisable that the player retreat to flat ground before engaging with the spider, due to the fact that if the spider has the high ground, it will be able to jump on the player's head with the extra height. This causes an almost unavoidable attack and thus causing unnecessary damage. A player can also attack the spider as it drops down on the player similar to fighting a Slime. This can also be useful as it can easily do fall damage to the spider once it lands. The player can also use the spider's width to get out of difficult situations. If the ill-equipped player is being pursued by one or more spiders, it is best to hide behind a one block wide gap, so the spiders will be incapable of hitting the player. Be careful! The player must stand at least two blocks in the gap, as the spiders can attack at close range.
Spiders, along with cave spiders and silverfish, are damaged more by swords with the Bane of Arthropods enchantment.
Farming spiders for experience orbs is more difficult than other monsters because of the spider's ability to climb and the tendency for spiders to constantly target the player up to 16 blocks away, making controlling their movement more complicated than a skeleton or zombie. It is still possible to control them by building certain safeguards to force the spiders into containment, and has the advantage that, unlike most other mobs, it is easy to build entrances and spaces where the player can go but the spider cannot.
Defensive Measures[edit]
Like other hostile mobs, spiders are vulnerable to fire, fall damage, lava, and are injured by contact with Cactus blocks. They can be set on fire with a flint and steel in the day time, taking damage but remaining neutral towards the player. Surface spider populations can be controlled if the player sleeps regularly in a bed at dusk, since the night gives more chances to spawn than the day time. When traveling at night, the player is advised to watch for active spiders' glowing red eyes in the darkness.
Construction Safeguards[edit]
Spiders can climb any vertical solid surface. One way to deal with this is to make sure the room is accessible through only a 1x1 hole (or a 1x2 high doorway with or without a door, although other hostile mobs will be able to fit through this gap) that spiders cannot crawl into. Alternatively, a lip or overhang on a wall will stop them from breaching it. The player can alternate an overhang every other block to conserve materials, as spiders are 1.5 blocks wide and cannot climb walls sideways, however, due to new skeleton AI, it is not unusual to find a couple skeletons hiding from the sun under any eave you create along walls.

|Spider test.
|Officially added spiders, the second mob added in Survival Test.
|Spiders were originally brown in early development (changed to the current texture because of a suggestion from a user on the TIGSource forums[1]). They did not jump as far (compared to their range in the Beta update) and killing them gave the player 105 points.

- The original color of the Spider was brown; it is unknown why the color was changed.
- You can still see a Spider's eyes when a Spider is hit with a Potion of Invisibility.
- Sometimes after attacking a spider in sunlight, the spider will cease attacking the player; this is presumably the high light levels turning the spider neutral.
- Spiders slow down when climbing vertical surfaces, making it easier for a player to outrun them around steep mountains and cliffs.
- A spider can jump sideways or backwards.
- They appear to be based on real life jumping spiders due to their eye pattern and the fact that they pounce to attack. However, most jumping spiders hunt in the day.
- Spiders can travel through a space that is 1½ blocks wide. This can happen when glass panes are part of a wall composed mostly of solid blocks. If a glass pane on the end of a long window is broken, spiders can crawl through the gap that is created.
- If you set a spider on fire, it burns with a huge flame.
- Due to Spiders (And Endermen) having a separate texture for their eyes file, they can be seen as a bright-red "shadow" from within lava. (Endermen have the same effect). Similarly, Spiders hidden by fog will appear pure white.
- Spider's footstep noises get some special handling: They have a lower chance than other mobs to make a noise when they walk on a block, but they are wider, and so touch more blocks at once. The result comes out about even with other mobs.
- The looting enchantment does not affect number of Spider Eyes dropped, only the probability of a drop.
- While the spider will always pounce to attack (unless swimming), it doesn't actually need to—their attack is by touch like most unarmed mobs. However, their jumping may make the spider harder to hit.
- Curiously, in Pocket Edition, neutral spiders sometimes are found without their abdomen.
- At close range, Spiders occasionally pounce their attackers instead of being knocked back.
- If the water a Spider is swimming in is only 1 block deep, they may pounce nearby enemies upon touching the submerged floor.
- A spider will actually follow you regardless of y axis. That means if you are above ground and a spider is underground, it will still 'see' you.
- Spiders do not have a 'hurt' sound file; they simply play one of their 'idle' files.
- Spiders, along with their cave cousins and silverfish, instead of falling on their side upon death, they do a flip and land on their backs.

Expect a nice weekend as we begin to crawl out of these freezing temperatures. Overall the weather should be pleasant and should become seasonable. However there is a slight chance of rain for Sunday night into Monday morning as a weak front makes its way through. We aren't expecting much rain with this front, but some is possible.
Tuesday looks to be alright, however the rain comes back by Wednesday as another front is expected to come through and potentially stall. This may leave us with wet conditions through the end of the week. Temperatures will begin to rise and moisture returns during this time as well, so expect temps to reach the 70s toward the end of next week. Hey, at least it's not cold rain!

AMG Review
Karl Williams
While not quite as entertaining as her deft behind-the-lens debut, Little Man Tate (1991), this comedy drama from actress-turned-director Jodie Foster is an emotionally satisfying and observant rumination on how family ties often tighten into a noose during the holidays. Cast standouts are lead Holly Hunter as the single mother of a distant teenager who's not quite sure she isn't still a teen herself, and Robert Downey Jr. as her gay brother, the closeted family black sheep. While some of the plot developments are too stridently over the top and sacrifice character development at the altar of wacky "business," the film is a very real portrait of the dread and disappointment that is the flip side of the delight and affection inherent in any obligatory family reunion. While most critics and audiences found that this painfully funny comedy emphasized the pain over the comedy, Home for the Holidays debunks the artificial cheer served up by most motion pictures and deserves to become a perennial holiday favorite for the emotionally and intellectually evolved. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

By Leika Kihara and Tetsushi Kajimoto
TOKYO (Reuters) - Bank of Japan policymakers are more open to adopting the unorthodox policy options of the expected next governor than previously thought, minutes show, suggesting the central bank can push through bolder stimulus promptly.
After just more than a week of hearings, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's picks for a more aggressive leadership at the central bank have likely gathered enough political support to be confirmed in their new jobs, lawmakers and media reports say.
That will meet Abe's push for unprecedented monetary policy, which along with fiscal expansion and structural reform, form the three pillars of his campaign to revive the long stagnant economy.
In parliamentary hearings on Tuesday, the government's two deputy governor nominees signaled their readiness to consider untested policy measures to beat deflation.
"We shouldn't be bound to precedents and must think with a new mindset," Hiroshi Nakaso, a nominee for deputy governor, told lawmakers.
The combination of nominee comments and minutes from the Bank of Japan's February policy review reinforced market expectations the central bank will announce more forceful stimulus when it holds its rate review next month.
Critical of the BOJ's gradual easing steps under outgoing chief Masaaki Shirakawa, Abe last month nominated aggressive policy advocate Haruhiko Kuroda, president of the Asian Development Bank, to take over after the incumbent's term ends on March 19.
He also nominated academic Kikuo Iwata, who like Kuroda suggests easing should be more aggressive, and long-term central banker Nakaso to be deputy governors.
The minutes of the February meeting show that board members were considering new ideas to reflate the economy even as Abe was deciding who to nominate for the top roles.
The ideas included cutting the 0.1 percent floor the BOJ sets on money market rates, targeting longer-dated government bonds and boosting purchases of risk assets, the minutes show.
A few members even floated the idea of combining the BOJ's asset-buying and lending program, its key monetary tool, with another market operation to buy long-term bonds -- dubbed "rinban" -- to make it easier to target longer-dated bonds in expanding stimulus, the minutes showed.
The ideas are similar to what Kuroda has outlined, a sign the existing BOJ board was ready to embrace changes sought by the potential new leadership.
Previously, many board members were cautious of buying longer-dated government bonds for the purpose of easing policy, for fear that would make an exit from the ultra-easy policy difficult.
The fact that board members have already been considering the ideas prescribed by Kuroda and Iwata reinforces expectations the board could move on April 3-4, the first meeting under a new leadership, to boost stimulus, sources familiar with its thinking say.
"The next steps from the BOJ are likely to be an increase in purchases of longer-term debt and possibly combining the asset program with rinban buying of JGBs," said Hiroaki Muto, senior economist at Sumitomo Mitsui Asset Management.
Both Kuroda and Iwata have said buying longer-dated government debt was the most realistic option for the BOJ to expand stimulus beyond its current policy, which includes buying government bonds with a maturity of up to three years.
Nakaso signaled the need for a bolder approach in beating deflation, saying there may have been room for the BOJ under Shirakawa for more frequently and bigger-scale asset buying.
The fact that even Nakaso, regarded as the most conservative among the three nominees given his background as a career central banker, is leaning more toward the reflationary views of Kuroda underscores the radical change that may be forthcoming at the BOJ.
Still, BOJ board member Koji Ishida on Monday voiced caution against taking unorthodox steps too hastily.
And Kuroda's remark in a parliament hearing on Monday that "speed is important" in pursuing changes heightened market speculation the BOJ may launch new measures, assuming Kuroda is confirmed, soon after he takes office next week, rather than waiting for the scheduled April meeting.
That has nudged the yen to a fresh 3-1/2-year low versus the dollar, although analysts doubt whether Kuroda would opt to act so quickly and even if he does, whether he could succeed in convincing the board to call an emergency meeting.
"I don't think Kuroda mentioning the need to act with speed necessarily meant he will hold an emergency meeting," said Yuichi Kodama, chief economist at Meiji Yasuda Life Insurance in Tokyo.
"Even if he decides to hold one to surprise markets, that's effective only once," he said.
Abe's ruling camp controls the lower house but lacks a majority in the upper house, so he needs the support of opposition parties to confirm his nominations.
The confirmation hearings are now over. A parliamentary vote on the nominations is expected to be held before the terms of Shirakawa and his two deputies end next week.
The biggest opposition Democratic Party decided to vote in favor of Kuroda and Nakaso, a party lawmaker told reporters after a meeting of executives on Tuesday, making it a certainty they will be approved.
The Democrats are expected to reject the choice of Iwata, partly because of comments he has made suggesting he wants to clip the independence of the central bank. However, Abe should muster enough support from other opposition parties to pass through his nomination, albeit by a close vote, according to lawmakers and Japanese media.

Saturday morning musings: With an NCAA rule change mandating that players who lose their helmets in a game must sit out for at least one play, I'm wondering if Georgia's equipment managers will be trying hard to come up with a new strategy for keeping the lids on Jarvis Jones and Isaiah Crowell, who ended quite a few plays topless last season. … Another rule change has teams kicking off from the 35-yard line but touchbacks being brought out to the 25, which is likely to make high, shorter, directional kicks the vogue with some coaches. Somewhere Jon Fabris must be smiling. … And in the case of an arrested UGA soccer player, I'm left wondering: Where exactly does one hide stolen hash browns in one's pants?
With that image stuck in your brain, let's dip into some of this week's Junkyard Mail ….
First, a little social media feedback. This week, I asked on Facebook and Twitter what Georgia fans' biggest offseason concerns are and what they're most looking forward to seeing at G-Day.
The most common concern mentioned (besides Mike Bobo still being offensive coordinator) was, naturally, the offensive line. As Lee Bowen noted, "Even [the] best running backs need hawgs opening holes."
Arrests and "off-field incidents" was another frequently expressed concern.
As for G-Day, Robert L. Kushner III is excited about seeing Keith Marshall and Christian LeMay. Darren Micheal Self wants to see some "toughness" out of Crowell. Wally Logan is hoping for "a Junkyard Dawg aggressive defense and some excitement from our running backs!"
And, returning to the concerns, Jesse Murrah is looking forward to seeing "what we have on the offensive line. The rest of our talent will do just fine as long as we can protect, block, and open holes."
From the regular Junkyard Mail, DawginLex writes that, among other things, on G-Day "I want open QB competition between Murray and Lemay. I would love to hear of a plan to semi-platoon the 2 of them to take some of the heat off of Aaron."
Frankly, I wouldn't get your hopes up, Dawg. The David Greene-D.J. Shockley rotation appears to have been a one-time aberration for Mark Richt and Bobo. I'm also a proponent of getting your No. 2 quarterback some meaningful game time, even if you don't go as far as platooning or scripting offensive series for the backup. But, barring an injury to Aaron Murray, I'll be surprised if we see the backup QB any more this season than we did last season.
Also on the subject of G-Day, Eddie Whitaker writes: I'm quite simply looking forward to being in Athens (Sanford Stadium to be more specific) on a glorious spring Saturday. G-Day games are usually less than exciting, but just the chance to be in the stadium, see the green field, the hedges, and the Red and Black, gives me something to look forward to during this "black hole" time of the sports year. You never know how many opportunities you'll have in life to experience this. Thanks, Bill!
I agree with you complete, Eddie. We only get a handful of opportunities to watch football Between the Hedges each year, and G-Day's the only time where you can choose your own seat. I've hunkered down through several cold, rainy April Saturdays just for the chance of seeing the Red and Black teams scrimmage. And also quite a few gorgeous spring days when just being in Athens was a pleasure, no matter whether the action on the field was compelling or not. Attendance is always pretty good for G-Day, but I'm betting with the Keith Marshall-Isaiah Crowell story line this spring, there might be a few more folks than usual showing up.
On offseason concerns, Jason Meucci writes: No surprises here … O-line and now with suspensions and dismissals, very concerned about our secondary. Also seems odd to say I'm comforted by having a true freshman as a kicker, but even that is an upgrade over what had become of Blair Walsh. If there's a "darkhorse" concern, its Aaron Murray's tendency to commit multiple turnovers against good teams. Oh, and Mike Bobo is still never to be trusted to come up with a creative or aggressive game plan or adjust when things aren't working. 9-3 with losses to Mizzou, Florida and Auburn.
So you're pegging Missouri as a loss, huh? Well, I know quite a few fans are pointing to that as a "trap" game for the Dogs. But I watched Missouri in its bowl game, and while they can move the ball, I can't quite see their defense shutting down even Bobo. As for Florida and Auburn, those are always tough games, but I'm more worried about South Carolina.
DawgDayBlog writes: I am a longtime reader and huge fan of your undying love for all things UGA and Athens. If I had to pinpoint one concern for the (every) offseason, it would be spring break and the raucous outings and getaways our players will have. Unfortunately, we live in a world today where every move is made under a microscope, and an individual, especially of high profile, cannot get away with indulgences once considered mundane and insignificant. Many forget our players are kids, and are going to go out and have the times of their lives, much like we did at their age. Many on these blogs will moan and groan about Coach Richt not having control, though it is asinine to expect Coach to a) monitor every move by every player at every hour of the day, and b) expect Coach to lock them in a box and not allow them be kids (and we saw how locking kids in a box worked out for Mike Leach). Many other people on these blogs (mostly Tech fans who have nothing better to do than come on and spew their drivel about their football stadium property owners) will point fingers at these kids for having a party bone. Reality is, everybody, even the Techies, enjoyed life to its fullest when we were in college and would just about give up everything for one more day of carefree youth. Anyway, with spring break on the horizon, I, along with many other Dawg fans will hold our breath every morning when we open up the AJC or Twitter. Hope the boys have a GREAT time, but manage to keep a level head on their shoulders in the process. GO DAWGS!!!!!
Yeah, I'm always thankful when spring break is over and we don't see the beat reporters having a feeding frenzy over an arrest report. And you make a good point: Yes, the head coach sets the tone for his team in terms of discipline, but he can't control what 120 college kids do, especially when they're not under his supervision. What he can do, though, is make it clear up front what will be tolerated and what won't and also make it clear that transgressions will be punished. I think Richt has done a good job of especially the latter in recent years.

Can we call another pass play on 2nd and 10 if 1st down was incomplete. That would keep us out of 3rd and long. Also call some punt blocks instead of setting up a punt return everytime!!!

"playing not to lose" is a great description of Bobo's 4 th quarter philosophy.
And to Tide is rolling: maybe I am too busy because I have never read, much less posted on, a Bama blog. Is UGA football so compelling you come this blog to slam our team? Sad.

Well most of the helmets coming off is more from looking COOL than ill-fitting helmets. There are 4 points to snap the chin strap but most players leave 1 of the straps unsnapped flapping in the breeze.
February 25th, 2012
12:14 pm
The players don't seem to tighten their chin straps – apparently its iratating. It seems to happen more with dreads than short hair. Just sayin.
February 25th, 2012
12:20 pm
So Tide is Rolling, UGA is disgracing the SEC by losing to #5 Boise State huh? You know 2007 wasn't that long ago but Bama fans being SO arrogant tend to forget who you guys lost to that year. Louisiana Monroe!?! Really? You want to talk about disgracing the SEC?
February 25th, 2012
12:23 pm
Do ya'll remember Connor Norman's G-Day performance last year? I thought he looked impressive, Anyway, I think a few folks will want to see Malcom Mitchell line up on defense. I have mixed feelings about it, but it kinda worked out well for Boykin! Go Dawgs!
February 25th, 2012
12:32 pm
I think DawginLex is right on the money. I am not a Murray basher, but he did help contribute to 2 of the losses last year because of ball security (SCU and MSU). I also didn't like his attitude about whether his pick six against MSU contributed to the loss. I don't want him looking over his shoulder and scared to make a mistake, but I also don't want him thinking there is nothing he can do that will cost him snaps. I understand the position of qb is a little different than the other positions, but the fact of the matter is if you had players at other positions that were making mistakes that cost you games – you would let someone else take a shot. LeMay and/or Mason need to be prepared to play and the only way that happens is if they actually get a chance to compete for the position in the Spring. I trust the coaches because I don't think they just want to lose, but how do we know that the best player is playing if some don't even get a chance to compete for the position or play in the game when it matters?

Also, I am a big fan of kids being able to express themselves and wear the hair style and clothes that they choose. However, if you can't keep your head gear on, then you need to change something! Either fix your hair differently or buckle more straps or something.

Well, frankly, it will be great if all the DAWGS make it back safe from the layoff without any mishaps. I am concerned about Crowell engaging with his funny cigarettes during the break. He'll have plenty of competition when the season starts. It's hard to believe that it's only 6 months until kickoff time. This should be a very interesting season. I look forward to a successful season but see Alabama still in the driver's seat. It isn't very comforting seeing Sabin walk off with the top recruits from the state of Georgia. The longer that goes on, the further the DAWGS drop back into the realm of mediocrity! GO DAWGS!!
February 25th, 2012

Murray has not beat a ranked team. With all the raves about last year, the games that really counted outside of Fla,AU and Tech who where all awful, we lost. Yes, I saw some improvement last year, but this coach and staff think all is fine, and on the D, we have seen improvement BECAUSE WE HAVE A NEW COACH AND LEADERSHIP. I'm really disappointed McGarity did not force Richt to reassign Bobo to recruiting Cord. and hire a real pro to run the offense. We will never move past say the Outback Bowl with that thinking and OC.
February 25th, 2012
3:06 pm
Sport, Saban walks off with top recruits everywhere so Jawjaw is no different. recruiting is major no doubt but coaching is as well as is discipline,character,organization,expectations, and above all hard work!!! Alabama is near or at the top in all of the above but can you say UGA is at that same level. Football is a business at Alabama and the kids and parents that join that business understand from day one the plan and no bullsheet rah rah stuff is apart of that business. The UGA business will have to stepup and play at another level or be left behind like most all the others in the SEC. I am sure some of you have contacts within the UGA football complex and I have that as well at Bama. Let me tell you Nick Saban and his organization are endless. Yes they make some mistakes but they're pursue perfection not by the year but by the hour. Mal Moore gives them the checkbook and the President is right behind them in the pursuit. Auburn is next to head South as long as UGA can compete and have decent years since they have to get players from GA and lots of them. The NCAA has shutdown the street agent deal for the ghetto twins and that is good for Miami,FSU,UF,UGA,UT and Bama.

3:24 pm
Kool- Aid that would be Las Vegas that has the worst housing market not ATL. I agree with you on the helmets. No excuse for that.
February 25th, 2012
3:40 pm
As far as the helmets coming off, I think that is a good change, and it shouldn't put anymore pressure on the equipment staff. It should put more pressure on the players to wear their helmets correctly. I noticed against boise when jarvis jone's helmet came off multiple times when he went o put it back on he would just slide it on without having to unsnap the chinstrap. That's called user error, Your chinstrap should be tight enough that you can't put your helmet on without unsnapping/resnapping..
February 25th, 2012
3:51 pm
No drama over Spring. Here's what will happen. It's all pre-determined.
Richt will say there is competition at every position.
Aaron Murray will get outplayed by whichever QB is competing against him like he always does, remember, Murray lost the 3 public scrimmage compettiions to Mettenberger & Gray 2 years ago, and Mason beat him pretty bad last season over Spring games.
Then Richt will annoint Murray the starting position and allow the other qb's no more than 40 plays per season.
February 25th, 2012
3:54 pm
3 offseason concerns I guarantee you won't be fixed before September:
1- QB turnovers and sacks and no wins against ranked teams, same ole 0-9 vs ranekd teams QB
2- defensive red zone scoring and defensive scoring against ranked teams, same ole coaches
3- Special teams punt and kick return defense, and field goal %–still, no Special Teams Coach
February 25th, 2012
3:57 pm
And for those of you delusional about us suddenly becoming a great rushing offense, keep in mind, Richt's 41-3 when he gets a 100 yard rusher, but likes to platoon running backs instead.
Richt has only had 2 1000 yard rushers at UGA, he likes to pass the ball, even if you're 0-9 vs. last 9 ranked teams.

He is 0-9 in his first 2 seasons.
February 25th, 2012

Panicattack yes Murray will probably get that win against a top 25 team when he plays Ga Southern.

If the above are comments from Dawg Fans that I am reading, then the Dawg Family is in very bad shape.
I really hope that what I see Is not typical of True Dawg Fans; I.E. Fans that support the UGA Football Program.
February 25th, 2012
4:36 pm
people like panic attack are not Georgia fans, and obviously know very little about the game. Doubt most of these guys ever played a down of college football in their life. Murray was evaluated as a mid round pick if he would have come out early. Will be in the discussion as a #1 pick when he has a good year this year. His height isn't that big of a concern because of his release point. He was only a sophomore last year as was good enough to be voted by the coaches as 2nd team all sec.
February 25th, 2012
4:40 pm
@dawg39….You are smoking with Crowell if you really think MURRAY is that good. He is GREAT against crappy teams. The NFL will eat him alive.
February 25th, 2012
5:11 pm
Its easy to sit back and look at stats without seeing the real numbers.
Georgia qbs were sacked 1 every 13 attempts that ranked them 5th in sack to attempt ratio in the Conference. Arkansas the only team that threw more passes than Georgia gave up a sack every 16 attempts, Tennessee was best in the sec only giving up a sack every 22 attempts.Its an area that needs work but can be improved upon. Bama went from giving up a sack every 14 attempts in 2010 to allowing only 1 in every 21 attempts in 2011. Auburn with Cam Newton at QB gave up a sack every 13 attempts. When you look at the number vs the quality of the defenses its not great but its not awful.
February 25th, 2012
5:22 pm
Dawg39 is right on and you don't have a clue. It is obvious you want UGa to make changes like dump Murray, Crowell, Bobo, etc. So your team would have a better chance to win. My guess is you are a GT fan, but too stupid to have gone to Tech. Thank goodness those in control don't listen to lunatics like you.
February 25th, 2012
5:32 pm
Neutral…keep 35:55minute MURRAY and BOBO it is a Championship winning duo for sure. So what is the Excuse when UGa had Knowshaun and Stafford? You had blocking, running, receiving, and a QB. Not enough D? Now you have a D and not enough O.
Let the 35:55minute MURRAY for Heisman campaign begin. He will do well because of the EZ schedule but when the tough get going he will drop like a rock I am betting.
February 25th, 2012
5:40 pm
Like I said…..you don't have a clue. Murray, Crowell and Bobo will be better this year even though the OL still needs to improve and I think they will. I believe you either never played football or you were cut from your team in middle school…..if you got that far.
February 25th, 2012
5:42 pm
Glad your beliefs are not what you make money on or you would be broke for sure.
February 25th, 2012
5:51 pm
Don't forget, LSU, SC and MS were all top defenses…….and they made a lot of offenses look bad. UGa was inches from beating SC and MS, but fell short. They also looked good for a half vs. LSU. NOTE: Michigan State Beat the Rose and Sugar Bowl representatives from their conference….so they were not slackers. UGa will do great this year……quit worrying. Oh I forgot, you aren't worrying because you are the enemy.

People with low self-esteem tend to piss me off sometimes.
People with low self-esteem tend to piss me off sometimes.
The more I get to know you, the more I'll joke about you, that's how I show you I'm comfortable with you.
I enjoy having a routine, when something happens out of it that I didn't planned I get the feeling that I'm out of control of my own life, and this feeling kills me.
When I'm sad brushing my teeths makes me feel better
I fucking hate talking on the phone
I don't believe that parents will love their children no matter what and that children will love their parents no matter what
when I write a story I like putting little details on because it helps me to imagine the scene
I can tell if you're lying or not, most of the time.
I feel that, it doesn't matter the age that i'll find myself in, i'll always like playing video game
I can easily cut someone out of my life and not give a shit about it, even if the person means a lot to me. Hurt me, and you're dead to me.
When it comes to government and cops my feelings are divided, because without the government all we have is chaos, but with the government all we have is dishonesty and corruption. And without cops the violence rate woud just rise as fuck, but with the cops we also have dishonesty and corruption.
of course I'm looking at it as a whole, of course there are honest politicians and honest cops, but unfortunately they are a small part.
I like animals more than humans.
I never swear near adults. idk why, I just can't, doing it gives me a bad feeling.
I'm so lazy, so lazy, SO LAZY, SO LAZY that I…
If I say "I love you" all the time is because deep down, I don't. If I really love a person I won't say it, you'll know it if I do.

adidas Rose 3 "South Side"
October 16th, 2012 by John Kim | 12 comments
The Chi-town stories of the adidas Rose 3 continue to unfold as we get yet another high-energy colorway of Derrick Rose's third signature shoe. This neon green/royal blue pair is dubbed 'South Side' – a tribute to the graffiti visuals of the area that serve as one of the iconic landmarks of the city. Peep the inner tongues and you'll see 'South Side' and '773′ displayed in graffiti style, with the bold-striped insoles and zig-zag detailing on the upper completing the overall flair of this sick concept. A gallery of images is right ahead so take a look at these surprising Rose 3 releases and we'll keep you updated on a release.

NASHVILLE - Ryan Kesler broke a tie with a power-play goal at 7:28 of the third period, and the Vancouver Canucks beat the Nashville Predators 4-2 on Thursday night to take a 3-1 lead in their Western Conference semifinal series.
Christian Ehrhoff scored a power-play goal and had two assists, Kesler also had two assists, and Alexander Edler had a goal. Henrik Sedin notched his first points in the series with two assists and an empty-neter with 20.6 seconds left.
The Canucks, the Presidents' Trophy winners for the NHL's best regular-season record, can close out the series Saturday night in Game 5 in Vancouver.
Joel Ward and Cody Franson each had a goal and an assist for Nashville. The Predators lost consecutive games for the first time this post-season.
Kesler scored his second straight winner with a power-play goal off a penalty he drew.
This time, Nashville defenceman Ryan Suter yanked him down with an arm around his neck for a holding call, and Kesler scored 1:07 later with a beautiful goal. Kesler sliced through a couple of Predators and beat Pekka Rinne with a wrister from the slot. In Game 3, Kesler scored in overtime.
Nashville tried to rally, finally getting Rinne to the bench with about 30 seconds left. Vancouver took its timeout with 29.3 seconds left, and Nashville couldn't hold the puck in off the ensuing faceoff. Sedin clinched the victory with his first goal this post-season.
The Predators opened with plenty of energy with yet another sellout crowd armed with T-shirts to paint the arena gold and fan noisemakers.
But Vancouver has been outshooting and outskating Nashville in taking both games in Music City. The Canucks went up 1-0 with 4:56 left in the first as Ehrhoff scored with Burrows screening Rinne at the edge of the crease. Nashville wanted a call for goaltender interference but didn't get it. The Canucks outshot Nashville 11-6 in the period.
The Predators got the edge they needed when Vancouver defenceman Sami Solo, in the lineup for the first time since getting hurt in Game 6 of the Canucks' opening series against Chicago, went to the box for knocking the puck over the glass with 1:42 left.
Franson fired a shot that Luongo blocked with his pad, and Ward wristed it through the goalie's legs with 41.6 seconds left.
This series gets feistier by the minute, and the first period ended with a bit of scrum and a slashing penalty for Canucks defenceman Kevin Bieksa and a roughing call for Nashville captain Shea Weber. As officials tried to break it up, Nashville forward Jordin Tootoo hit former teammate Dan Hamhuis with a quick left to the face.
The Predators can blame themselves for wasting prime opportunities to score in the second.
Goalie Roberto Luongo lost his stick after stopping a flurry at the net. Nashville finally got the puck only to be called for offsides at 8:40 of the second, giving Luongo a break to grab his stick in the far corner. The Canucks came right back and went up 2-1 when Edler ripped a slap shot from near the blue-line through traffic past Rinne at 9:43.
The Predators also squandered 47 seconds of a 5-on-3 late in the second when Aaron Rome slashed Erat with Maxim Lapierre in the box for interference. Coach Barry Trotz took Nashville's timeout. But Suter had the Predators' lone shot, and Luongo easily knocked it away with his left pad. They couldn't finish off the final 1:13 with the man advantage either, prompting fans to boo.
Franson tied it at 3:27 of the third, snapping a shot cleanly through Luongo's legs for his first goal this post-season. The lead didn't stand long.
Trotz matched up his third line -- Tootoo, Jerred Smithson and Nick Spaling -- against Kesler's line trying to slow the trio down. But Smithson sustained an upper body injury and missed the last two periods. Trotz also moved Martin Erat from a line with David Legwand to Mike Fisher's line with Sergei Kostitsyn, dropping Patric Hornqvist, Nashville's second-best goal scorer.
NOTES: The Canucks improved to 4-3 in Game 4s on the road. ... Ward has at least a point in eight of Nashville's 10 games this post-season. ... Country star Keith Urban and actress wife Nicole Kidman were on hand for this game. ... Sedin's goal gave the Canucks their biggest margin of victory since their 2-0 win over Chicago to open the post-season. ... Nashville scratched Steve Sullivan because of a lower-body injury, and Colin Wilson got his first playing time this post-season after appearing in all 82 games of the regular season.

Comments about
Sjobergs Smart Vise
I expected more from Sjoberg, but despite my 1-star rating, this one isn't all bad. It will hold your materials well enough. The materials used to build this vise are just poor. Most of it are mdf with a veneer on top. It is not solid wood. The vise itself is hard wood, but should be thicker. My vise is not square, so it holds things at an angle. With a Sjoberg name on it, I'd expect better. If you're considering building a workbench, I'd hold off buying this.
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Just in Time
Desert Pete
Orygun Territory
I was planning to build this vise for carving. Sjoberg came along at just the right time with this vise. I did add six holes to the main platform and another two holes to the vise. This makes it much more flexible for smaller pieces.
Overall, very handy for flat work carving (I.e relief carving, chop carving).
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
It is what it is
Parker, CO
This unit is very solid and grips very well. The directions leave something to be desired. I had to take mine back to Woodcraft for some minor assistance in the assembly.
One problem I did encounter was that because of the limited distabnce between the top and the bottom plate you are limited in the type of clamp you can use to secure the unit.
Great vise for the small shop
Great vise for a small shop area, where i can clamp it to the workbench when i need it. Solid, built well, and easy to use. Only thing I would ask is that the plastic bench dogs get upgraded to something more useful.

Mommy Dearest: What Should My Step-Kids Call Me?
Mommy Dearest,
My husband and I have been married for two years. He has three sons from a previous marriage and they spend half of the time living with us. In the three years that I have known them, we have become so close that people often mistake me for their mother. The boys call me by my first name, but now that we are family should they refer to me as "mom" or "step-mom"? We don't plan on having any more children.
— What Should My Step-Kids Call Me
To read the response from Mommy Dearest, read more.
What Should My Step-Kids Call Me,
It sounds like you and your stepchildren have a great rapport and that they are comfortable calling you by your name. If you prefer another title, ask your husband for his opinion. Since the children spend half their time with their mother, they may not feel comfortable referring to you as "mom" too. Divorce, remarriage and accepting new family members can be hard on children so you may even consider waiting for them to initiate any type of conversation concerning this. Let's see if any lilsugar readers want to chime in.
