Cool building book: "Built to Last"

help connecting to itunes store...
i have been unable to connect to itunes since my harddisk died and i put in a new one. everything else works fine. i get the following error when trying to connect:
"iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store.
Make sure your network connection is active and try again."
i'm on osX 10.4.11 and iTunes 7.0.1, which is the most recent version i can have with this os. no firewalls. i was in another country at the time i replaced my hdd (got the computer in the u.s., replaced hardisk in germany, currently in u.s. again).
i've tried the troubleshooting on the apple support site and no luck. any suggestions? is it possible that i'm just not allowed to sign in with such an old version of itunes?
I have not found a definitive answer to this question yet but I suspect that the problem is the version of iTunes you are having to run. I have found posts from 2010 suggesting that the most recent version that could get in the store was 8.something. Even then the user was not able to see the main page.
How long has it been since you were able to connect reliably?
the last time i was able to connect was over a year ago. at the time, i assumed it was because i was trying to connect from another country with my u.s. account. i rarely use the itunes store so this is not a big deal, but more importantly it won't recognize my ipod. i was hoping that being able to sign in to itunes would change that.

By Bernard S. LittleSpecial to American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24, 2007 A new area of Walter Reed Army Medical Center here will provide state-of-the-art medical care for terminal cancer patients in a warm, homelike setting.
After countless hours of fund raising, designing and remodeling by various individuals and organizations, the first palliative care suite and patient/family lounge opened Jan. 22.
Roderick Mitchell, president of the Pentagon Federal Credit Union Foundation, which spearheaded efforts to raise funds to design and furnish the suite and lounge, presented the rooms to Maj. Gen. George W. Weightman, commander of Walter Reed Army Medical Center and North Atlantic Regional Medical Command.
In accepting the rooms, which are for patients diagnosed with terminal cancer and their families, Weightman said the medical center has been about warrior care for nearly 98 years. He added that the project is indicative of the commitment and partnership that exist among WRAMC, the civilian community, and the different organizations that help support the Army family.
The project, which cost about $400,000 and took about five months to complete, provides the comforts and amenities of home in two rooms, including modern kitchens and bathrooms, sofa beds for family members, flat-screen plasma televisions, DVD and CD players and computers with Internet access. Basil Walter Architects in New York and Seiko Obayashi designed the rooms at no cost.
Mitchell said the vision of providing cancer patients and their families with a private living space that would remind them of home was the brainchild of Maj.
Carlton Brown, former head nurse of hematology and oncology, and Col.
Princess Facen, his section chief more than three years ago. It was Facen who showed Mitchell the areas where wounded soldiers from the global war on terrorism were treated and where cancer patients received medical care at WRAMC.
"She told me the story of this young soldier who passed away from cancer," Mitchell recalled. "She showed me the room that he passed away in, and it was heart-wrenching. The only thing that made the story heartwarming was that clearly, the personnel who helped that young man and (his loved ones) get through that terrible time were very compassionate and loving people who work here. But the room itself just didn't measure up."
"This is a dream that's become a reality," said Col. LaDonna Howell, chief of WRAMC's medical psychiatric nursing section. She said that in the past, if a patient chose to spend his or her last days here, the patient would have been assigned a standard, private room. The patient's loved ones would have had to sleep on a small sofa at best.
The death of Staff Sgt. Michael Somers was a sobering reminder of the need for the palliative care suite at WRAMC. Ladonna Somers, his widow, and Barbara Tye, his sister, supported the project with open arms and helped in the fund-raising efforts.
The bulk of this money came from active-duty men and women who are deployed all over the world. Other significant contributors were the Association of the United States Army and Health Net Federal Services.
"How people exit this life is probably just as important as how people enter this life," Weightman said. "(The palliative care suite and lounge) send the absolute right message: that we care for our patients throughout this spectrum, whether they're 1 minute old or 99 years old."
(Bernard S. Little is a command information officer at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.)

Adobe programs freezing on certain actions - imac 27'', OS X 10.6.2
Hi guys!
I've been experiencing one fairly annoying problem since I got this iMac..
I'm running an iMac 27'', 2.86 GHz Intel Core i7, 8 gb of RAM, on OS X 10.6.4.
The problems occur in Photoshop (every time I change grouped tools it freezes for about two seconds), in Illustrator (every time I click on any object it freezes the same) and in Adobe Acrobat Pro whenever I select any text inside of pdf document.
It's all CS5 version. I also tried installing one CS4 version to see if it's because of the installation, but I get the same problems in CS4 also..
Tried reinstalling OS, still the same.
I dont know what to try anymore so if anyone has any kind of suggestion on what to check, please help!

Memory Bias Leads To Happiest Marriages, Says UF Researcher
GAINESVILLE — Doses of self-delusion can be very useful in sustaining marital bliss, says a University of Florida researcher of newlyweds.
While most marital research has focused on how spouses communicate, UF psychology Professor Benjamin Karney is studying the frequently overlooked role of memory. Specifically, his research shows that satisfied couples often remember the past as worse than it was, to make the present seem better by comparison.
"The advice to husbands and wives to communicate better puts a lot of pressure and blame on couples," said Karney, who has interviewed several hundred couples about their marriages. "It says, If only you communicated better, you'd be happy.' I don't think that's true, nor does the research show it to be true."
In one of a series of studies in the Los Angeles area spanning 27 years of research data, Karney found that people most likely to express happiness in their marriage over time were those who use their memory selectively to feel good about their past. Even though these people said their marriages were growing stronger, interviews of them talking about the relationship show it was actually getting worse, he said.
"When it comes to marital happiness, it's good to be able to tell yourself a story you like to believe," Karney said. "And so, it's OK not to be accurate about the past if it makes you feel better about the present."
Personal communication, a centerpiece of marital therapy and self-help books, is only part of the story in predicting whether marriages succeed or fail, Karney said. Although the way couples treat each other is important, focusing exclusively on communication fails to take into account people's personalities, family backgrounds or what kind of challenges they face in their daily lives, he said.
"It's easy to be married if you're healthy, wealthy and well-employed," he said. "It's difficult if you're sick, unemployed or have in-laws living with you because they have nowhere else to go."
Karney said altering memories about marital bliss is much like the yearning many people have for what they think are the good old days. "It's a similar process in reverse when people are nostalgic for the past. Dissatisfied with the present, they exaggerate how good or innocent the past was in order to justify their current feelings."
In one study involving videotaped interviews of newlyweds every six months for four years, Karney found no difference in initial happiness between those who eventually divorced and those who stayed together. "Contrary to what some people might think, people who divorce in the early years of marriage are not the ones who start out less happy," he said.
The way satisfaction changes over time — not the absolute level of satisfaction in the marriage — predicts divorce, Karney said. Couples who break up are those who become aware — for whatever reason — that their satisfaction has waned over the years, he said.
"They have the feeling I was happy once, but now I'm not happy,'" Karney said. "That is the worst feeling one can have in a marriage."
Actually, most people's marital satisfaction declines over time, even though they think it is improving, Karney said. "On the whole, even the best marriages get a little less happier over the years," he said. "That's probably not surprising considering how happy newlyweds are. The most anyone might hope for is to stay at that level."
In the future, Karney said he hopes to learn more about how important beliefs change despite people's motivation for them to remain the same. "On their wedding day, everyone thinks their partner is wonderful and plans to stay together, and they are highly motivated to keep believing that," he said. "How does the feeling I love my spouse' change over time to I don't want to be with my spouse anymore?'"
Thomas Bradbury, a psychology professor at UCLA, said Karney's research "yields some startling new findings about how couples think back on the history of their relationship. The comparative processes that Karney is discovering are an important clue to how spouses sustain their relationship, and they will no doubt lead to a revision of prevailing views on how marriages succeed and fail."

Liz Stephen packs a lot of strength, energy and integrity into her small frame. Wiry and strong, the last five years have been a sharp ascent up the ranks of distance skiing, a fitting trajectory for Stephen, who is known throughout the racing community as one of the best climbers in the World.
Stephen began her career at Burke Mountain Academy along with current women's team coach, Matt Whitcomb and has grown from an alpine racing convert a decade ago to the historic best finisher for the United States at this year's Tour de Ski with a fifth place overall effort. Following up that result with a second place finish at the Rybinsk World Cup in the 10k freestyle event, Stephen demonstrated a steadfast mental strength and more physical power than previous seen in her skiing. "I spent a lot of last off season working on the mental aspects of this sport," Stephen said after the World Cup podium. "It's something I'm proud to see pay off."
The two-time Olympian and four-time World Championship team member will again be based out of the Center for Excellence in Park City, UT. "I spent a lot of time after the (Sochi) Olympics sorting out if I would return to the sport. This team is the reason I did and I'm doing it with everything I have," Stephen said of her continued time as a leader for the U.S. Ski Team.

By: Stuart Dyson, KOB Eyewitness News 4
$700. That's the size of Vere Peck's water bill this month and he's not happy about it. It's far bigger than the cost of the water the Albuquerque man used at his Southeast Heights home. In fact a lot of homeowners could wind up in the same boat. Most of Peck's bill is for "conservation" charges – penalties for excessive water use.
Peck's home on Ridgecrest is a little urban forest, dense with pines and vines and sycamores – a standout property in a neighborhood that's famous for its trees.
"I'm staring at a piece of land that was populated with trees and grass in the fifties," Peck said. "I came along nine years ago and I don't want to get rid of all these beautiful trees. It's not fair to deprive them of their life just because the city wants to fine us basically out of our home!"
Peck is really steamed because there's no warning that you're crossing the line into the fine zone. The local Water Authority's chief conservation officer says your warning is your first fine, and Peck got his last month. But Katherine Youhas does offer some help.
"We actually offer free water audits and we'll come out to your property," Youhas said. It's no cost to you, and we'll actually help you figure how to maintain the landscape you've got and not get surcharges."
The city of Albuquerque actually encourages tree planting and watering, even in a drought, because it cools the air and reduces energy consumption.
Peck tells us he's ready, willing and able to take part in a water audit. He's looking for any help he can get in trying to reduce his water use, while keeping his little urban forest alive.
If you're in that same boat with Vere Peck, you can give the Water Authority a call at 768-3655, or check out their website at abcwua.org to sign up for a water audit.

The recent snowfall has given us perfect conditions for snowshoeing and cross country skiing! Some of Brook Farm Inn's guests this weekend had a great time snowshoeing. We went out ourselves this afternoon to Pleasant Valley, the MassAudubon Wildlife Refuge, and enjoyed a trek on our favorite trail, the Hemlock Trail. Walking through the evergreens, with snow resting on their boughs, and a partly frozen stream nearby, is as magical as you can get. We expect the next couple of weekends to have great conditions.

Recent changes in the missions of the Navy and Navy-funded laboratories have emphasized fleet and design support at the expense of research in naval hydromechanics.
Budgetary considerations have further restricted the number of researchers and the scope of the research that can be performed at a single location. However, there is still a large body of enthusiasm and intellectual talent, although it is widely dispersed.
Modern means of communication provide new, unexploited opportunities to enhance scientific interactions between geographically separate groups of scientists and engineers. Databases, experimental facilities, libraries, and intellectual talent can be accessed instantaneously and without time-consuming interruptions.
Currently there are no centers of excellence for fundamental research in naval hydromechanics.
ONR should establish an institute for naval hydrodynamics (INH).
The INH should capture the best talents and the largest body of knowledge in hydromechanics from the United States and foreign countries. It should leverage existing funding and ensure a well-coordinated approach to research in hydromechanics.
The INH should be directed by a highly qualified scientific leader. The management style and philosophy should be in tune with the intellectual creativity expected of participants in the INH.
A small central facility should support the INH. This facility should be open to all INH participants.
The form of the center should be carefully determined. One attractive option would be a virtual center that uses distributed assets and extensive Internet communication. The virtual center would havea management committee and a small central supporting entity. The new NASA Astrobiology Institute organized by the NASA/Ames Research Center, the European Research Community on Flow, Turbulence, and Combustion, and the NASA Institute for Advanced Concepts are models for virtual centers. Virtual centers could draw upon researchers from anywhere at any time. Although the idea is relatively new and relatively untested, it is very promising, and the committee recommends that it be given serious consideration. Alternatively, the center could be modeled after the jointly managed NASA/Stanford Center for Turbulence Research and the independently managed Institute for Computer Application Science and Engineering, at NASA/Langley.

In this guest article for Urban Times, Clare Lissaman, co-founder of ethical menswear label Arthur & Henry, tells us about the idea behind their ethically produced shirts and the reason men do actually look for style and ethics. Arthur & Henry is donating two fantastic shirts from their range to be auctioned off at Bid for Better.
When we first told people we were starting up an ethical menswear label we mainly got two reactions, often both from the same person:
"Men don't care about fashion. Men don't care about ethics. " We think they're wrong on both counts.
Men's style is hot right now. Menswear no longer has just one day tacked onto the back of London Fashion Week but its own separate billing "London Collections: Men" held in January and June. Menswear bloggers, tweeters, pinteresters and street style photographers are setting the social media waves alight. Whilst some of this attention is focused on the creative, the wild, the dramatic, a far larger proportion is interested in heritage, craft and traditional skills; on the textures and cuts and the small details.
And as we talk to ordinary men about clothes we discover that heaps of them do actually think about style quite a lot and even those men who have never read a fashion magazine or style blog, men who would claim to have no interest in fashion, have a very strong sense of what they like and don't like, and a great eye for detail. We found men who hate shirts that are too short and come untucked, men who are aware of their ultra long arms, or that their six pack days are long behind them. Men who will only ever wear double cuff shirts.
So what about ethics?
"Men don't care about fashion." "Men don't care about ethics." We think they're wrong on both counts.
Well, there are male environmental campaigners and activists just as there are female. Likewise there are both men and women involved in labour rights work. And in charitable volunteering. And donating to charity. Why would these men not be equally as interested in how their clothes were made?
If truth be told though, no one, no matter what their sex, buys their clothes based solely on environmental and ethical criteria no matter how committed. So our shirts needed to be well made as well as organic, be beautiful as well as fair trade cotton, be long lasting as well as ethically made.
That's where most of our customers are. They just want a good shirt. They look at cut, style, quality and price. The fact our shirts are good for people and planet is the icing on the cake. And we are big fans of cake at Arthur & Henry.
Arthur & Henry shirts are made from organic cotton, because it's better for the planet and better for farmers. Conventional cotton is grown using vast quantities of pesticides and insecticides. Organic cotton, on the other hand, uses agricultural methods designed to help sustain the soil it grows on, and the farmers who grow it. They don't have to handle toxic chemicals, worry about them entering their water supply or get into debt buying them. Some of the cotton is also fair trade and we're working to make all of it fair trade in the future. (Quite hard to get the right yarn quality at the moment.)
So, men, now you can dress smart, look good and be eco ethical.
What's not to like?
Arthur & Henry shirts are available all year round at www.arthurandhenry.com. They will also be selling their lovely shirts plus some carefully selected ethical accessories - great for gifts – at the following fairs:
Saturday 1st December: Fair Christmas Fayre, 11am – 6pm, Regent Hall, 275 Oxford Street, London
Sunday 2nd December: Diggin' Design, 10.30am-6pm, The Garden Museum, Lambeth, London

More than 1,100 college students commit suicide each year.
To hopefully reduce that figure, East Tennessee State University has been participating in National Suicide Awareness Week this week.
Thursday, near the school's iconic amphitheater, Mental Health Awareness Day was recognized with games, pizza, drinks, prizes, music and plenty of information on how to seek treatment for mental health.
This is the third year the event has been held and is made possible through the ETSU PEAKS (Prevention through Education, Awareness and Knowledge of Suicide) group, which was established through a grant funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Jameson Hirsch is the director of the ETSU PEAKS project and an assistant professor of psychology.
Hirsch said the event included 1,100 black flags planted in the ground near the amphitheater in memory of those college students who killed themselves this past year.
"You know, I think when people have good stuff inside of them that helps to counteract some of the negative feelings like depression, anxiety, suicide," he said, referring to the activities Thursday.
Kristin Walker, project coordinator for the ETSU PEAKS grant and graduate student in clinical psychology, said data shows more than 30 percent of college students have suicidal thoughts.
"So we're talking about a really big issue on campuses across the country as well as here at ETSU," she said. "But it is still something that is an uncomfortable thing for people to talk about."
Events like the one Thursday are designed to change that by "promoting a message of mental health awareness ... and just trying to promote an atmosphere where people feel more comfortable talking about mental health," Walker said.

Since I'm going to be chatting here during June, I thought it might be a good idea to introduce myself. I write as 'Hywela Lyn' (my real first two names) and lived in rural West Wales, land of myths, legends and the Welsh Cob, for most of my life although I moved to England when I married Dave, my husband and chief mucker-outer. My books are mainly fantasy and futuristic, although I do have an historical Western on the 'back burner'.
I've been crazy about horses for as long as I can remember. Writing and horses have been my main passions since I was a small child. As soon as I left school, I saved up for three years to buy my first horse Flikka, and currently have two horses, Harry and T'pau, having lost my little buckskin mare Sally two years ago at the grand old age of 34. I'm not fortunate enough to own the land and buldings where I keep the horses, but rent it with a friend. It works out well although I wish I lived closer. I'm living proof that you don't have to be rich to have horses, just willing to sacrifice things like vacations and smart clothes! LOL. I manage to put fit at least one horse into most of my stories.
I'll be chatting about Harry, and T'pau as well as my rescued Jack Russell and occasional horse helper, Bouncer, together with the stable cats Milly and Molly, and other horse topics, throughout the month. Please feel free to join in with your own horsey experiences, or even talk about your other pets.

Snow mold is a fungus and there's actually two different types of snow mold: grey, as well as pink. Pink snow mold affects the crown of the plant or the grass, and grey snow mold affects the leaf of the grass.
Snow mold looks like small circular patches that can be anywhere from 3-12 inches and its been known to group together so it can move and mass together. Pink mold is actually distinguished by its pink color. Grey snow mold has a grey or whitish color; it can also be distinguished by some black masses that will actually be on the leaf of the plant.
Causes of Snow Mold
There are a couple different causes. Obviously, snow mold gets its name from snow cover. So, snow mold can grow under snow cover where the ground actually hasn't frozen completely. Snow mold can also gather, and this is for your warm climate people, snow mold can also gather under leaves, so if you haven't raked your leaves up or you've been waiting to rake your leaves, snow mold can actually grow, that whitish pinkish mold, under the actual masses of leaves or piles of leaves that have yet to be raked.
Treating Snow Mold
There are a few preventive chemicals and there's actually treatment chemicals for snow mold, but the best treatment for snow mold is actually applying air to that area. And you can do it a few different ways. Letting that turf dry, keeping it short to allow air circulation, or actually going out and raking it. Snow mold damage is really superficial in the sense that once that snow mold damage area dries, the affected area will actually cease so that infection in the grass will cease and the grass area will actually start to regrow.
So that's how you identify and get rid of snow mold. For more information, visit About.com.

Rogueworks to host All City Elements exhibitWritten by John Dorsey | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Rogueworks is throwing a family picnic and you're invited. Its All City Elements show is set to kick off at its 3810 W. Alexis Road location on Aug. 20. The two-day event will feature music, visual art, dancing, vendors, performance art, poetry and more. All City Elements was established in conjunction with LoveArtMusic and Archetype Murals.
"There are a lot of divisions in the Toledo arts scene, between the underground artists and the more mainstream community," said Rogueworks owner Greg Lukasik. "I wanted to start this event so that we could all come together and celebrate as one whole community. We have a 200-foot wall space for artists to work on, which I believe is the largest public art space ever in our area. The idea is to keep things unrefined and to offer inspiration."
Lukasik founded Rogueworks last October and hasn't looked back.
"I hear a lot of people always ragging on Toledo, thinking they can't really make it as an artist here," he said. "With All City Elements, I want them to see that you don't have to move to New York or Chicago or L.A., that we do have artists right here in Toledo that have continued to make work year after year. There really are opportunities to make it here. I really want this event to be unique and offer exposure to both established artists and those who are completely unknown."
Lukasik is currently considering making it an annual event.
"We really have to work together to make a more interesting scene, it's just great that we have artists like Dustin Hostetler and Yusef Lateef and galleries like Bozarts that are doing great things. I'm actually considering auctioning off the art wall after the artists are done working on it," he said.
For information, call (419) 475-7979 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

@"who isn't even aware that couples are supposed to sleep in the same bed...". If they live on an American college campus they most likely wouldn't be sleeping on the same rock hard, twin-size bed every night in their 8x8 dorm room, shared with 2 or 3 other people. I never said couples didn't sleep in the same bed, but if we're talking college students (edit: who live in dorms)... yeah, they typically don't.
AlphaAccount, even though I already asked I really don't feel that I got burned in this situation, I just know that the girl I asked is the way she is and that we're just not right for each other.
I don't live in a dorm btw. I live at home still, it's only 15 minutes from my house. I'll be going to a 4 year next year though.

Sleuthing a Historic Image
ABOVE Downer-Hancock-Page House, Roxbury, Mass. The fact that few pre-Civil War houses are left in Roxbury makes this photograph a valuable historic document. The picture was probably taken in the early 1870s by A. H. Folsom, a noted Boston photographer. The Library and Archives has long been collecting Folsom's work because of its fine quality and rare subject matter.
The SPNEA Library and Archives recently acquired this photograph of a Gothic Revival house in the Long-wood section of Roxbury, Massachusetts, one of few surviving images depicting pre-Civil War houses in that part of Boston. How SPNEA volunteer David Rooney was able to identify its exact location demonstrates the fundamental research method of cross-checking street atlases against photographic records and genealogies.
Notes on the back of the photograph indicate that it depicts the "Old Downer-Hancock-Kilby-Page home-stead next to the House of the Good Shepherd near the Muddy River." Rooney first checked the Atlas of the County of Suffolk, Massachusetts, Roxbury 1873, an insurance atlas that shows building footprints, lot lines, streets, and identifies the building material. Next, he looked at the SPNEA photograph files and found images of other houses on the street but none of this house. He concluded that the photograph had to depict 1717 Tremont Street, because the atlas listed the owner as Catherine Hancock and shows an irregular footprint that appears to match the photograph. Furthermore, Downer was the name of a street running behind the house. Inspection of the Downer family genealogy revealed that Catherine Hancock's middle name was Downer, and that her son-in-law was Kilby Page.
Later atlases show that the street was widened and renamed Huntington Avenue in 1895. By 1915 the house no longer appears in the atlases, having been replaced by a row of houses with bay windows.

I wouldn't say I am wholly convinced by this particular little rumour, a possible sighting of Apple's next phone. What is being called, but probably won't be if it is released, the iPhone 5S. Via a French site the Mail has pictures which may or may not be that next model.
From the outside it looks very like an iPhone 5. But some of the internals, and some of the connections, seem to be in different places. As the paper says, whether this is actually a new Apple product of just a decent clone is unknown:
These pictures purport to show the case for the forthcoming iPhone 5S, Apple's next update of its market leading smartphone.
Surfacing on French website Nowhereelse.fr, the images reveal an exterior virtual identical to the current iPhone 5, which was only released in September.
But a closer look at the inside of the part shows the fixing points of some of the internal components – which differ from the latest model – seems to suggest that it could be a new part for an updated phone.
Nowhereelse.fr hedge its bets, admitting that while it could be a case from a new iPhone prototype, it could equally be part of a well-made Chinese iPhone clone.
We also get a repeat of the DigiTimes report from last month about how this new phone was going into trial production.
Apple is expected to begin trial production of a new version of its iPhone 5, or iPhone 5S, in December with initial production volumes likely to top 50,000-100,000 units, according to a Chinese-language Commercial Times report.
My own supposition (not backed up by any hard evidence, this is pure speculation) is that this rumoured 5S isn't going to come as soon as we might have thought 6 weeks or two months ago. For back then we were hearing stories of low construction yield on the iPhone 5. And I thought that this might mean that a newer design would be released to deal with the design problems that led to that manufacturing problem (specifically, the scratching of the anodised aluminium case). If they've solved that problem then the imperative of a new device which deals with it has gone.
But of course all of this is indeed speculation. We're near 100% certain that there will be another generation of the iPhone. But when and what it will be is all purely a matter of rumour at present.

Asian markets rose Wednesday after Japan's central bank said it would boost a asset-buying scheme to kickstart the economy, which also sent the yen lower against the dollar and euro.
The Bank of Japan said after a two-day policy meeting it would boost an asset-purchasing fund by 10 trillion yen ($128 billion) to 80 trillion yen while also keeping interest rates between zero and 0.1 percent.
Tokyo rose to its highest level in more than four months following the BoJ announcement, gaining 1.19 percent, or 108.44 points, to 9,232.21. It was the best finish for the Nikkei 225 index at the Tokyo Stock Exchange since May 2.
Sydney also closed at its highest level since May, gaining 0.54 percent, or 23.7 points, at 4,418.4 while Seoul was 0.15 percent higher, or 2.92 points, at 2,007.88.
In afternoon trade Hong Kong added 1.27 percent, while Shanghai was 0.38 percent higher. Mumbai was closed for a public holiday.
The BoJ's move will see the bank provide more yen liquidity to markets as it purchases government and corporate bonds, and commercial paper.
Pressure had been on BoJ policymakers to follow the Europeans and Americans by announcing new plans to pump cash into the ailing economy.
The European Central Bank (ECB) this month sent equities soaring after saying it would buy unlimited amounts of debt from under-pressure eurozone members to lower their borrowing costs.
That was followed on Thursday by the Fed's unveiling of a third round of bond-buying, or quantitative easing (QE3), to kickstart jobs growth in the world's biggest economy.
Japan's Finance Minister Jun Azumi welcomed the BoJ decision, saying the bank "took more action than we anticipated" and it would help the economy.
Following the BoJ announcement, the dollar rose to 79.16 yen, from 78.78 yen before, while the euro was at 103.50 yen from 102.54 yen in the morning.
Later, in the afternoon, the dollar was at 79.13 yen while the euro was at 103.49 against the Japanese currency.
In Tokyo, shares in Japan Airlines rose 3.03 percent in early trade, almost three years after it became one of Japan's biggest ever corporate failures, owing $29 billion, but they tracked back in the afternoon to close up 1.06 percent.
The carrier was delisted soon after the bankruptcy but has managed to bounce back after painful restructuring that has seen it raise $8.5 billion in an initial public offering, second in the world only to Facebook this year.
Oil prices were also lifted. New York's main contract, light sweet crude for delivery in October, was 59 cents higher at $95.88 a barrel and Brent North Sea crude for November delivery added 45 cents to $112.48.
Gold was at $1,775.41 at 0615 GMT compared with $1,756.35 on Tuesday.
In other markets:
— Taipei rose 0.62 percent, or 47.65 points, to 7,781.91. Hon Hai Precision increased 0.83 percent to Tw$96.9 while TSMC was 0.35 percent higher at Tw$86.0.
— Wellington fell 0.17 percent, or 6.58 points, to 3,797.89. Telecom Corp. was down 2.74 percent at NZ$2.31.
