"Welcome! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and provide support for those experiencing anxiety, depression, life role transitions, chemical dependency, domestic violence/relationship struggles, self-esteem, and more. Calling a therapist can be very scary and I am so glad that you have reached out to me. I am a believer that others can change and I want to help you work through struggles and challenges in your life. My goal is to work with you to make positive changes to achieve the life you want!"
"I welcome clients of all ages, gender and sexual orientation, with varying mental health concerns for individual, couple and family therapy, especially: parents raising children with mental health issues and disabilities including Aspergers Syndrome; children, teens and adults with depression, anxiety, social problems, and learning and developmental disabilities; children, teens and adults with history of sexual abuse; crisis counseling and stress management; relationships."
"I believe in the mind, bidy, spirit connection. If one area is out of balance then our whole system is affected. In our very busy world achieving balance can be challenging. I can help you achieve greater balance, happiness and success at home, at work, in your relationships. Together we can clarify what your expectations are and how they line up with reality, and how a misalignment is impacting your happiness and success."
"Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has been practicing in the mental health field in the greater Rochester area for over 15 years. My experience is with youth, adults, and families. I have four primary specialty areas: trauma and resilience, sexuality and gender identity, emotional management of chronic health issues such as cancer and autoimmune diseases, and lastly, managing anxiety and depression."
"Thank you so much for your interest in my practice! Being a parent or caregiver can offer its ups and downs. Often times we may feel overwhelmed, stressed and confused by our child's emotions and behaviors. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, my goal is to help children and adolescents discover their strengths and develop skills to overcome challenges."
"I work with a broad spectrum of clients as an individual and group psychotherapist. Among my areas of expertise are trauma work with survivors of sexual abuse, mood and anxiety disorders, couples/interpersonal relationship counseling, and women's issues. I am an interactive, solution-focused therapist. Combining both psychodynamic and humanistic elements, my therapeutic approach is to provide support, practical feedback, and insight to help clients effectively address personal life challenges. I offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each client to help build on strengths and attain the personal growth each client is committed to accomplishing."
"I love this work, because people's lives are so interesting! When people run into a snag, I can help. Working with individuals, couples, & families, I look at both the immediate concerns, as well as the 'big picture' of where it fits into their lives. Session one is a consultation opportunity to meet and learn a bit about each other. Do you feel comfortable with me as you tell me what's brought you here? As I listen, I think about how I can help. If it's a good match, we can make a plan for treatment."
"I am dedicated to helping you through mental health, family, relationship, and health difficulties with empathy and expertise. Guiding you to your "best self" is my priority. My style of mentoring is client centered and motivational, giving my clients the opportunity to explore their struggles, find their strengths, and build upon them. I can't wait to hear your story and offer you hope for the future that can change your life and health long term. Call me today for a free phone consultation."
"When you come to me, thinking about seeking help, you can expect certain things: I will listen to what your concerns are. Together we will determine what you want to achieve. I will help you learn and practice skills that will help you gain fulfilling life. I have worked for over thirty years with clients who have mental health and substance abuse issues, with children, adolescents and their families. I love helping people who are struggling with life challenges: overwhelming emotions, relationships, and trauma."
"I offer psychotherapy for children, adults, and families, and I specialize in the transition to parenthood. My background is eclectic, drawing on mindfulness-based and experiential approaches. Whether you are a baby brought to my office in the arms of your tired caregiver or a new mother fearful of expressing scary thoughts, whether you are a reticent child or a seasoned psychotherapist, whether you are young or old, male or female, partnered or single-you will receive care that is flexible, nonjudgmental, and tailored to your specific needs. Our work will be anchored to what is happening in the present moment."
"Are you struggling with issues from your past? Do you experience emotional pain, trauma, depression, anger, or difficulties in your relationships? My decades of experience with EMDR and other therapies have convinced me of their power to help you. I also believe in the resilience and strength of human beings to heal from past hurts. My flexible approach enables me to respond to your unique needs in a caring and nonjudgmental way."
"Therapy is a process, it is a critical journey of introspection in a supportive way. I truly believe that all of my clients have the "road map" to get to where they want to go and I am a tool to help offer support and guidance. I am committed to providing client centered care and I view you as the expert of your life."
"Often people interested in therapy are stuck or overwhelmed by a problem they have been trying to resolve. Sometimes the problem is not even clear. Yet, almost always the goal is relief from the struggle along with a sense of some mastery over the problem. Having studied both philosophy and psychology for many years, coupled with my history as an Executive Coach, my goal is to provide a broad range of tools and support so that the therapeutic experience brings about relief and a sense of success."
"I am wise enough to have a sense of humor, flexible enough to work with many kinds of people, humble enough to say, after an hour, "I think I can help, or I think I cannot." I suggest that we meet for an hour, assess the situation, and work together from there to form the appropriate plan for your issues. I've learned that patients know what they need. I can help you find that whether in my office or from other services, or both."
"Relationships can be one of the biggest blessings and also one of the biggest stresses in your life. It's amazing how quickly life can get in the way of our relationships and cause chaos in our lives. We have obligations, responsibilities and demands that we have to keep up with, while putting in work to create a successful relationship. It can be exhausting at times and things can fall apart quickly. Therapy can be helpful for not just the couple or family, but the individual."
"I have a Ph.D. in Human Services specializing in Professional Counseling and with a focus on art therapy.In New York, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC).In Texas, I am a licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), a Board Certified Registered Art Therapist (ATR-BC), a Certified Group Psychotherapist (CGP), and a LPC approved supervisor. I am a Deep Memory Process practitioner, a technique used to deal with trauma and PTSD. I have experienced facilitating and co- facilitating individual & group counseling & therapy with diverse populations, both children & adults in crisis & trauma, dealing with sexual assault & domestic violence."
"Sexual addiction is a disease that reveals itself in many ways including serial infidelity and adultery; addictive use of online porn, child porn, and social networks; compulsive masturbation; love and relationship addiction; anonymous sexual hook-ups, use of prostitutes and sexual massage; workplace sexual boundary violations; and sexual anorexia. The consequences of sexual addiction can undermine all your best efforts at creating and maintaining a healthy life. Yet, unlike addictions to external substances such as drugs, alcohol, and gambling, you cannot eliminate sexuality from your life. It is part of being human. This fact brings about unique challenges in recovery for you, and your spouse or partner, who may experience clinically significant sex addiction-induced trauma (SAI-Trauma). Only you can choose to free yourself from the secrets, lies, and shame that make your life unbearable. We can help you and your spouse or partner understand the dynamics of sexual addiction and partner trauma and identify solutions for healing."

MELBOURNE (AFP) - Bernard Tomic claims he is ready to topple four-time champion Roger Federer at the Australian Open.
The brash 20-year-old Australian secured a 6-7 (4-7), 7-5, 7-6 (7-3), 7-6 (10-8) win over German qualifier Daniel Brands in 2hr 55min to reach the third round and continue his unbeaten start to the year after claiming his first tour title at the Sydney International.
Said Tomic, who had stunned world No. 1 Novak Djokovic at the recent Hopman Cup in Perth: "I'm ready. I'm not going to say I don't have the belief. I do have the belief now. It's possible. I showed that in Perth, that you can beat these players. Now I'm going to try to beat him (Federer)."
Meanwhile, Federer, the Swiss world No. 2, again mastered old rival Nikolay Davydenko in three sets to confirm his match-up with Tomic in the last 32 on Saturday.
The record 17-time Grand Slam tennis champion had few problems with the 40th-ranked Russian, winning 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 in 1hr 59min on Rod Laver Arena.
British third seed and reigning US Open champion Andy Murray was impressive in conceding just eight games as he put away 100th-ranked Portuguese Joao Sousa, 6-2, 6-2, 6-4 in 1hr 41min on Hisense Arena.
Murray, twice a runner-up at the Australian Open, will have his hitting partner, Lithuanian qualifier Ricardas Berankis, as his next opponent in the last 32.

Tae Bo is an aerobic exercise routine created by Billy Blanks in 1976, but didn't really become popular until the 1990s. During the 1990s, it was the first successful "cardio-boxing" routine to take over commercially with over 1.5 million copies of Blanks' DVDs sold.
The combination of dance and mixture of martial arts and boxing took the world by surprise. After the craze of Tae Bo; health and fitness clubs started offering cardio-kickboxing classes (similar to Tae Bo) to their members. Cardio kickboxing has been extremely popular ever since, because with its mix of intense cardio and fun moves, it's hard not to see results. An hour of Tae Bo or cardio-kickboxing will burn between 600 and 800 calories. Check below to see the benefits of these two aerobic programs. (more…)
VO2 max (V-volume per time, O2-oxygen, max-maximum) is typically defined as the maximum capacity of an individual's body to process oxygen during exercise. This number is useful because it is the most reliable way to determine the fitness level of the individual. By knowing your VO2 max, you can not only compare your fitness level to "standards", but you can also objectively assess your progress while improving your current overall level of endurance and fitness.
Knowing your VO2 max is also great for setting goals and motivation. Most recreational exercisers really don't need to know their VO2 max; although I recommend knowing it along with your weight, cholesterol, blood pressure, body fat, and BMI (Body Mass Index). By knowing these numbers, you are able to self- diagnose your current overall state of health and well-being (extremely important if you are over the age of 45). The more oxygen your muscles use, the more efficiently your body works, allowing you to do more work, with less stress on your body. VO2 max is one of those rare health numbers you want to go up, not down. (more…)
I just recently got back from Maui, Hawaii and what a beautiful place; it is truly paradise. I had the privilege of snorkeling for the first time and it is now a hobby of mine, especially because it is such a low cost hobby: you can pick up a mask, snorkel and fins for around forty bucks.
Snorkeling is absolutely amazing and I totally recommend it if you have never been. Being able to see life under the sea is simply breathtaking. The coral, rock formations, thousands of different species of fish, and, of course, the gigantic sea turtles are all a sight to see.
Although snorkeling was a blast and a half, it was definitely a workout. My entire core, shoulders, hip flexors, quadriceps, hamstrings, calves, and ankles were completely worn out. Below are the benefits of snorkeling, as well as an exercise routine that will help condition you for your next snorkeling adventure. (more…)
Yoga is a science that has been practiced for thousands of years. It is consists of ancient theories and techniques, observations, and principles about the connection between the mind and body. Yoga consists of controlled breathing and prolonged holding of body positioning. It focuses on the entire body and exercises the different tendons and ligaments of the body that are not usually incorporated into a weight training program.
Top 10 Benefits of Yoga
1. Decrease Stress
2. Improve Flexibility
3. Increase Endurance
4. Improve Sleep

Hawking has written two novels: Jaded (2004) and Run for Your Life (2005) (also published as The Accidental Marathon).
In 2007 she published George's Secret Key to the Universe, an adventure story about a small boy called George who finds a way to slip through a computer generated portal and travel around the solar system. Written with her father, Stephen Hawking, and his former Ph.D. student, Christophe Galfard, it has been translated into 38 languages and published in 43 countries. George's Cosmic Treasure Hunt, a look across the universe for signs of life, followed in 2009. Their third children's story, titled George and the Big Bang, is about "What happened at the Big Bang?" and was released in 2011.[9] Their most recent story in the 'George' series is titled George and the Unbreakable Code, and was published in 2014
In April 2008, Hawking participated in NASA's 50th birthday lecture series, contributing a talk on children and science education. Based on her experiences in touring worldwide with George's Secret Key, giving talks for children on physics and astronomy, the lecture highlighted the need to engage children in science at an early age.
Hawking won the Sapio Prize for popularizing science, which was awarded in Rome in October 2008. She is vice president of the National Star College, an institution dedicated to allowing people with disabilities to realize their potential through personalized learning, transition and lifestyle services,[10] a foundation which provides care and education for young adults with complex and multiple disabilities. Her father has inspired many of the children and have presented for many of these disabled adolescents.
In 2010, Arizona State University appointed Hawking writer-in-residence of its 2011 Origins Project.[11]
From 30 September 2013 to 30 October 2013, Hawking spoke at the BrainSTEM: Your Future is Now festival at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.[12]
Personal life[edit]
Lucy Hawking was married to Alex Mackenzie Smith in 1998,[13] but the couple divorced in 2004.[14] She has a son. Diagnosed with autism, he has been an inspiration to her in her support for people on the autistic spectrum.[8]

One Out of Four Texas Children Goes Hungry At Some Point During the Year
Twenty-four percent of all children in the state of Texas are "at risk of hunger," says a report released yesterday by America's Second Harvest, the country's largest charitable hunger-relief organization. The report's titled Child Food Insecurity in the United States: 2003 -- 2005, and it analyzes data collected by the United States Department of Agriculture Economic Research Service; information on how the study was conducted can be found here.
But the results for the state can be found here: Out of the 6.2 million children under the age of 18 living in Texas, 1,510,966 are considered "food insecure," which means at some point during the year, they're likely to go hungry. And it's consistent with findings from the state's Center for Public Policy Priorities, which, in its State of Texas Children 2006 report, said that "the number of families earning too little to maintain an adequate diet has increased, ranking Texas first in the nation in the percentage of food-insecure households in 2004."
In a USA Today story about the America's Second Harvest report, Jan Pruitt, chief executive officer of the North Texas Food Bank, says part of the problem can be blamed on working families trying to cope with rising costs -- for housing, gas, you name it. There's also another problem, she says: "the demonization of food stamps." --Robert Wilonsky

The oil industry has left a big footprint along the Gulf Coast, where a Delaware-sized stretch of Louisiana has disappeared.
But few politicians would blame Big Oil for ecosystem abuse in a state where the industry employs up to 300,000 people and injects $73 billion into the economy.
Until now.
Following the lead of Gov. John Bel Edwards, Louisiana political orthodoxy is being turned upside-down as prominent leaders of both parties join lawsuits seeking billions of dollars for environmental improvement projects.
Down in the pancake-flat bayou, it's not easy to see what made so much of the coast sink into the Gulf of Mexico.

I wrapped the rod is granger green silk, trimmed in lemon yellow then tipped in black, all color preserved. The grip/seat is very comfortable and the hardware is Lemke down lock pocket cap and slip ring. All hardware is blued nickle with a Recoil stripping guide. Seele price is
$685, I am asking $550 shipped for the rod, rod bag and tube as shown. If interested please contact me and I will get it shipped out right away. Sorry for the rain in the photos, but it happens.
I finished wrapping one of the Signature S glass 8'6" 6wt models. The rod is wrapped in burgundy silk and tipped in gold.
I am finishing more new glass. These rods are built on the Graywolf Classic Glass blanks. I think these rods are between a Morgan and a Steffen in both appearance and feel. The first to be finished are both 8ft 5wt models wrapped in green and tipped in gold.

Thousands of families have been left homeless after a massive earthquake hit Nepal, killing more than 8,000 people and injuring over 16,000. We urgently need your support.
On 25 April 2015 Nepal was struck by a 7.8 magnitude earthquake - the biggest earthquake to hit Nepal in 80 years. A second earthquake on the 12 May caused further devastation. 9,000 people were killed, 23,000 injured, and over 100,000 people displaced.
We have been working in Nepal since 1978 which enabled us to provide assistance almost immediately. We launched an emergency appeal within hours of the first earthquake and to date have helped over 287,000 people – including over 117,000 children.
A year on since the first earthquake, there is still so much to do. Our focus is on children. We are helping children return to school and get the emotional support they need to recover from the traumatic events. After a disaster, children are particularly at risk from trafficking. We're raising awareness in communities through child-friendly spaces and anti-trafficking booths are border control.
Plan is targeting its response on the districts of Sindhuli, Dolakha, and Kavrepalanchok, but we are also working in Kathmandu valley, Baglung and Makwanpur.
Read more detailed info on our response.
Plan is a member of the Disasters Emergency Committee, which brings together 13 leading UK aid charities in times of crisis.
Three months on since the first earthquake struck Nepal we take a look at our relief efforts to help rebuild Nepal and get children back to school.
In his home in Delhi, Syed Mohammed Aftab Alam woke to a strong tremor on the 25 April 2015. Syed soon learnt that the tremors were caused by one of the biggest earthquakes of the last four decades. Syed recalls the sight of arriving in Kathmandu, shortly after the first earthquake, as spine-chilling. The sound of crying children could be heard in the dark night.
Education is one of the major casualties in all disasters. The schools of more than 1 million children in Nepal were destroyed by the Nepal earthquakes. We take a look at how temporary schools are helping children in Nepal to recover from the earthquake.
During times of disaster and conflict, women and girls bear the brunt of the crisis due to pre-existing gender inequality – such as discrimination, violence and exclusion. We look at the biggest risks facing women and girls in Nepal in the aftermath of the earthquake.
Monday 25 May marks one month since a terrifying 7.8-magnitude earthquake killed over 8,000 people and left many more homeless without access to shelter, food or water. Take a look at the infographic that shows what you've helped us deliver so far.
When a powerful earthquake rocked the ground of Nepal on April 25 – and again on May 12 – it was a profoundly frightening experience for everyone. Buildings crumbled as the earth swayed and countless thousands ran for their lives and into the relative safety of the streets.
Events unfolding following Nepal's second earthquake remind us that big earthquakes and aftershocks take a heavy toll on minds of the survivors, especially small children. Impact on the mind are often invisible. Relief efforts should prioritise such emotional needs. .
Plan International and A World at School join the call for a Humanitarian Fund for Education in Emergencies following the Nepal earthquake.
Young people who survived Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines have made a heart-warming video sharing their messages of hope and solidarity for the children of Nepal.
A second major earthquake has hit Nepal, just two weeks after the quake that killed more than 8,000 people. The 7.3 magnitude earthquake hit eastern Nepal, close to Mount Everest at 12:35pm local time. Protection, emergency relief and psychosocial support for children and affected communities is of critical importance at this time, and we are expanding our operations to the newly affected areas.
The Nepal earthquake destoryed hundreds of schools, leaving thousands of children out of school wondering when they will be able to return to class. We gave a camera to 14-year-old Bishmal and his brother, Omul, 11, and let them capture images of their home, school and lives after the earthquake.
Plan is helping to return a sense of normality to children in Nepal who have been left traumatised by the earthquake that hit the country on Saturday 25 April. We have opened two child-friendly spaces in Kathmandu, and will soon open three more, reaching over 1,000 children. These are the first of 100 planned child-friendly spaces in Nepal. The spaces provide a place where children can play and get support as they and their families recover from the emotional and social impact of the quake.
Thanks to your donations, we are among one of the first humanitarian organisations to deliver vital aid packages to the areas worst hit by the Nepal earthquake on April 25. Take a look at how it happened, in pictures.
Matt Crook from Plan International reports from Dolakha in Nepal where almost 90 percent of homes have been destoyed. Plan is currently distributing aid, and healthcare is the next big concern.
You may have read in the news that getting aid to remote Nepali villages is fraught with difficulties, including poor transportation networks and bad weather. These difficulties are real, but through careful coordination Plan is managing to deliver vital aid to isolated areas in urgent need of assistance.
Plan teams are among the first agencies getting relief into isolated, mountainous, and rural areas parts of Nepal's Central Region devastated by the earthquake, where up to 90 percent of houses have been destroyed or damaged beyond use.

"I went through the city and saw the main high school simply ripped apart; vast areas turned to great hills of rubble; and then came the camps. Partly government-run, there are 16 set up in Kathmandu so far. The one I saw had very flimsy cloth-screened rows of latrines with foul pools of muddy water around them. But mostly it looked like a motley collections of family camping tents or plastic sheets strung from sticks. All looked very poor and disorganised. There was certainly no lighting, and I think that the risks to girls and young women must be high." Read more.
Plan UK's head of public engagement, Mike Thiedke was visiting our projects working with girls in Nepal when the earthquake hit. Here he updates us on Plan's response in the field.
Concern is growing for Nepal's remotest communities who have likely spent a second night without shelter after Saturday's earthquake. We fear that the reported death toll could increase significantly when rural areas are accounted for.
Plan UK Chief Executive, Tanya Barron, was on a scheduled visit to see Plan's work with girl's in Nepal when the 7.9 magnitude earthquake struck.
The journey to Kathmandu is proving perilous, and the scenes apocalyptic. Every available corner of open space is full of people, fearful of going indoors. Everyone just hopes that the worst is now over. Read more
Plan is receiving reports of widespread devastation in remote districts west of yesterday's huge earthquake, with a further significant aftershock felt in Kathmandu around lunchtime today.
Dr Unni Krishnan, Plan's Head of Disaster Response and Preparedness has warned that warning that the full extent of the Nepal earthquake will only be known once rural areas outside Kathmandu are reached.

Intelligence assessment says Lebanese Shiite organization has completed its military, logistic preparations for resumed confrontation with IDF
Hanan Greenberg
The Hizbullah organization has completed its military and logistic preparations for a confrontation with Israel, a senior defense official told Ynet on Monday evening, based on recent intelligence assessments.
Hizbullah's preparations reinforce the intelligence estimate that a conflict in northern Israel is closer than a wide-scale conflict in the Gaza Strip. This may be one of the reasons why the IDF is not rushing into a comprehensive operation in Gaza.
The annual intelligence review, presented to cabinet ministers Sunday by officials from the Shin Bet internal security service, Miltary Intelligence and the Mossad, said that the likelihood for a wide-scale Hamas attack in 2008 was slim.
However, the likelihood that Hizbullah will resume its violent acts against Israel is higher than the likelihood for an escalation on other fronts. An escalation on one front may lead to a similar situation on additional fronts.
Hizbullah monitoring IDF's movements
Hizbullah fighters are closely monitoring the IDF's movements on the northern border, and have even come up with dozens of scenarios for the moment Israel acts against the organization.
According to the defense establishment, …

We also enjoyed this recipe. Cubed a couple of potatoes and added to the other ingredients. Would definately make again.
I have been looking for a slow cooker corn chowder recipe that is easy to prepare and tasty, and this one definitely fits the bill. Assembly of the ingredients only took a couple of minutes and the taste was excellent. The only thing I added was a tablespoon of chicken bouillon granules for a little more zing, but that is just a personal preference thing, it was great without that addition.
Similar to others who have posted reviews, I found this to be super quick, super easy, and really good. For those who follow weight watchers plan - this works out to 5 pts per serving

When asked for his advice to Hillary Clinton on how to 'win' the debate on Monday, President Obama has 2 simple words: "Be Yourself."
As Politico reports, President Barack Obama wants Hillary Clinton to "be yourself and explain what motivates you" when she takes the stage Monday night for her first presidential debate.
Obama offered the advice during an interview on ABC with "Good Morning America" host Robin Roberts.
Roberts took time to ask the president what advice he might offer to Clinton ahead of Monday night's debate, to which the president responded that his former secretary of state should allow the American public to see her.
"I've gotten to know Hillary and seen her work, seen her in tough times and in good times," Obama said of his former secretary of state. "She's in this for the right reasons."
However, we suspect that "being herself" could be a major problem, given her record high 'unfavorability'…

Japan Tax Revenue at 6-Year High
Weaker Yen, Higher Shares Buoy Corporate Earnings, Capital Gains.
TOKYO—Japan's tax revenue rose to its highest level in six years in the year ended in March, as a weaker yen and higher share prices buoyed corporate earnings and capital gains, the Ministry of Finance said Thursday.
The ministry also said government spending in the past fiscal year was less than initially projected, as lower interest rates reduced the cost of interest payments on government debt. As a result, the government borrowed less than originally planned.
The figures are good news for the government of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, which is struggling with massive deficits and towering debt. But they could reduce the urgency of government efforts to fix Japan's financial state, just as discussions on the budget for the year starting April 2015 are set to begin in earnest this month.
The ministry said tax revenue came to ¥47 trillion ($460 billion) in the year ended March, up from ¥44 trillion the previous year. It was the highest since the fiscal year beginning in 2007, when tax revenue totaled ¥51 trillion.
The government originally projected tax revenue of ¥43 trillion for the recently ended fiscal year. But the yen's sharp fall increased profits for exporters, while investors earned fatter capital gains from higher share prices, lifting taxable income.
Expenditures for the year came to ¥96.6 trillion compared with an original plan for ¥98 trillion, allowing the government to trim new borrowing by ¥2 trillion to ¥41 trillion. All together, ¥1.4 trillion went unused during the year.
Still, government spending remains relatively high. Before the global recession that hit Japan around 2009, central government expenditures hovered around ¥80 trillion. Meanwhile, spending hasn't declined much from a high of ¥101 trillion in the fiscal year beginning in 2009.
In the current fiscal year from March, the government plans to spend ¥96 trillion.
With government debt already exceeding a quadrillion yen, the ministry wants to rein in spending as much as possible in the next fiscal year.
But pressure to spend will likely grow with the economy expected to slow sharply after a sales-tax increase on April 1. Economists expect the economy to contract over 4% in the second quarter before recovering slowly in the third quarter. The government plans another sales-tax increase in October 2015. Mr. Abe may choose to increase spending next year to cushion the effects of the next tax rise.

Just thought I would open things up if anyone wants to discuss the George Zimmerman trial. Here is the link at Fox to watch it live with commentary during breaks.
At this point, I have watched most of the testimony and things are looking good for Zimmerman and not so good for the prosecution. The best (imo) witness just finished testifying. He is the man -- John Good -- who witnessed the altercation (after it had begun) and described Trayvon Martin straddling Zimmerman on the ground in "mixed martial arts" style, in a "ground and pound" position, beating Zimmerman into the ground. Although he made clear that because of the dark he could not actually see the blows connect to Zimmerman's face, he believes that was what was taking place. He also believes it was Zimmerman yelling for help. He has been the most compelling witness so far validating Zimmerman's claim of self-defense in the face of imminent life-threatening danger or the infliction of grave bodily harm.
6/29/2013 One more observation. Since Florida law allows trials to be televised, the witnesses -- many of whom live in the town homes where the incident occurred -- seem more tense and filled with dread over having to testify. After all, if Zimmerman is acquitted, the whole nation not only knows the witnesse's names, they also know exactly where they live. Who knows how far the race-baiters will go to milk this for all it's worth. I don't blame them for being a little stressed. I wonder if their town house neighborhood is being provided extra security right now? I hope so.

OnLive Console Shipping in December for $99
MicroConsole TV Adapter ships December 2 with one free game.
Cloud streaming game service OnLive will begin shipping its MicroConsole TV Adapter unit on December 2, and has announced a new monthly flat-rate subscription plan.
The MicroConsole (pictured above) allows users to access and play with the OnLive service without a computer, and attaches directly to a modern television using either HDMI or component inputs (component adapter sold seperately). The package comes complete with a wireless controller, two AA batteries, and Ethernet and HDMI cables. It is available for preorder now for $99, an includes a voucher for one free game (valued at $49.99 or less). Buyer beware: the free game voucher is only part of a special holiday promotion, and may not be included come next year.
In addition to the standard game rental and purchase options, OnLive will also offer a flat-rate subscription service later this year for what it is describing as back-catalog, indie and classic games. The company is promising "approximately 50" titles will be available in 2010, with 100 games "in the pipeline." Further details (including available games and subscription pricing) are not available at this time.
1UP has had a review unit in the office for a couple of weeks now, check out our hands-on impressions here.

No.Posted: Nov 19, 2010 12:00AM PST by AdvancedCaveman
The only conceivable way I'd consider using a service like this is if you just paid a small monthly subscription fee (or it was just added into your Internet or cable service or something) to get unlimited access to the entire catalogue of games. Paying for a download that exists on a local storage device in your possession is one thing, paying individually for access to remote streams of games is an entirely different matter. There's input lag, video compression, and the simple fact that your Internet connection can and for some people often does go down.
There's an episode of South Park where Mr. Garrison invents a gyroscopic transport pod vehicle thing that you have to operate by sticking a control stick up your ass and then sucking on a different control stick. Onlive reminds me of that, as does any other cloud computing service.

Not sold on the "Stream" online gimmick...Posted: Nov 18, 2010 12:00AM PST by McCHitman
For as popular as this "streaming" stuff is, It will never take over physical media. Could you imagine if the NES was stream only. The nostalgia factor alone makes people want the physical media. To be able to look at the box art, remember when you got the game, and put it in your system. Streaming is cool, i'm a Netflix fan myself, but it doesn't replace the ability to pop my movies in whenever I want to.
What is going to happen when all these invisible wires overload? If you could see all the streams, wireless connections, and phone signals running through the air we wouldn't have a freakin' sky. One day something is going to break, and that wireless stuff is not gonna work. Then its gonna be time to bring out the media...oh wait, you got rid of that stuff for streaming....
Nicely put.Posted: Nov 19, 2010 12:00AM PST by GunslingerScott
That is thought-provoking and well spoken. Also, I agree with you.
Awesome Concept.Posted: Nov 18, 2010 12:00AM PST by ~He-Man~
No pricing or games list available? It's right on their website. Full PlayPasses on games range from $4.99 to $49.99, and everywhere inbetween. I think that's pretty nice pricing considering they have games like Arkham Asylum, Assassin's Creed II, Borderlands, etc.
People just randomly bash things they aren't used to. What's wrong with the control? It looks like a 360's. Can people be more pessimistic?
Wait til it's had some time on the market and then go ape on the thing.
Roflcopter?Posted: Nov 18, 2010 12:00AM PST by Exevalon
Dont know if its me, but I think I saw 2 OnLive employees trying to pitch to us to buy Onlive, masquerading as gamers on 1up. Bare-bones Pages and everything.
Not that there is anything wrong with that, some people got to eat. But come on, why now? Instead of like months ago to build up a reputation and some friendly connections.
YeaPosted: Nov 18, 2010 12:00AM PST by Aztec_Triogal
I didn't realize you could download it without any cash down. It's just a simple download. But yea, watched some kids play Borderlands for a bit. It was pretty cool. There didn't seem to be much of a selection of games though.
I might play something on there... I don't feel like buying a PS3 so if they add Uncharted 2 I'd much rather hook up a gaming controller to this junker PC than buy a brand new console.
And screw that mini-console. I can hook my PC up to my TV if I ever really need to see it on the big screen.
Good service, too bad it's not multiplatformPosted: Nov 18, 2010 12:00AM PST by shady78
I was quite impressed by the Onlive service when I tried it out a few months ago. Sadly, they don't support my operating system of choice, and I haven't been back since.
And this - I don't see why I need to get another product costing $99 and that will hog ports on my hardware, when the service should work from any basic computer.
You must be using LinuxPosted: Nov 18, 2010 12:00AM PST by ChuckWoolery
I have a Mac and a PC netbook so this OnLive service is perfect for me.
Exploitative Price pointPosted: Nov 18, 2010 12:00AM PST by Courage_Vs_Power
$99 is seriously, seriously, over-priced.
How?Posted: Nov 18, 2010 12:00AM PST by LK4O4
How is it over-priced? For someone who doesn't really have a good PC (or a Mac, which also won't run most of these games), $99 isn't too bad. Especially since a controller is $40-ish and a free game is $50-ish. Though I'll definitely hold out to see if it takes off and gets more games on the service before I invest in any actual hardware.
Onlive Rocks!!!!!Posted: Nov 18, 2010 12:00AM PST by PLSLC1
Ok, I've been a supporter of Onlive since it was in pre-beta, these guys actually got it right!!
For the people talking about the need for owning physical media, all physical media will eventually go the way of cd's and dvd's, and it'll happen sooner than you think. Just look at Hulu, Netflix, mp3 files,
everything is either being downloaded or streamed nowadays, so it WILL happen.
Also, as far as quality, it works great, this system will keep improving beyond anything consoles can do right now, they started with wired connection, 3 months later they have wifi, they started with 720p, now that the microconsole was announced they added 1080p support (for future titles) and 3D, it'll just keep going.
Look at how successful Steam is, with no physical media. no storage limitations, welcome to the cloud!!
You can play Onlive on you 50" hdtv, or log in on any PC. I played on a friggin' $179 netbook!!
Oh and look up the Onlive Ipad demo, it's coming!
Now I wasn't paid by Steve or any of those guys, hehe... I'm just a guy that loves technology and am always looking for the next big thing... This is it for gaming, and it's only the 1st step.
Dont be surprised if MS or Sony try to copy this stuff on their next gen systems...
Can't wait for Deus Ex *drools*
Connection: 15mbps (comcast)
System: Onlive Microconsole (preordered)
Seriously?Posted: Nov 18, 2010 12:00AM PST by Bast
Please don't insult our intelligence that OnLive is a good deal. I don't care how awesome you think it is ... this is nothing but a RENTAL service. All the games you pay for will all go away if you ever cancel your (paid subscription) service. If you do decide to suspend your account, they only give you a year before they just go ahead and delete it. Lame.
Also, there's no MOD support which is the cornerstone of today's PC gaming experience. This service does have its merits, but I'd never pay for anything that I couldn't keep.
Don't Be a Corporate ShillPosted: Nov 18, 2010 12:00AM PST by Courage_Vs_Power
By "...go the way of cd's and dvd's..." do you mean: "become the standard used by the majority of customers"?
Wi-Fi?Posted: Nov 18, 2010 12:00AM PST by AStrangeDisease
No wireless internet connection? Not that my service would be fast enough for this anyway.
And the controller is an ugly hybrid of PS3 and Xbox's. I don't like the thumbsticks so close together.

people will buy anything.
I'm buying this the day they have MMORPGs!!!!Posted: Nov 18, 2010 12:00AM PST by VDKT
I played the beta and the only game available back then was Unreal Tournament III ... and it wasn't all that great! It wasn't terrible, I only experienced a split second to 1 second delays in my controls, apperantly it's because I live in Canada and I'm too far away from the USA onLive servers... but all in all, I would NEVER use onLive for first person shooters or any game that requires precise controls to win, like shooters!
But if you visit the onLive webpage, 90% of the games are SHOOTERS!!! Their only RPG is Borderlands and BORDERLANDS IS A FIRST PERSON SHOOTER RPG THAT REQUIRES PRECISION IF YOU WANT TO REMAIN COMPETITIVE!!!!
But all in all, onLive is like a dream come true! I can't wait for stuff like World of Warcraft or even other MMOs like Final Fantasy XIV or dead MMOs like Vanguard! Vanguard was apperantly not that bad of a game, but you needed a freaking $2000+ gaming PC to make it run smoothly!!! Imagine if Vanguard was playable with onLive, where it doesn't matter how powerful your PC or gaming system is... as long as you have a fast internet connection, you could play Vanguard at 30+ frames per second and enjoy the game without investing in a $2000+ gaming rig! Because MMOs don't require precision because everything is auto-lock! You target a monster, your character is now locked on it, and all you have to worry about is pressing the attack or defensive buttons to win!
Come on onLive... get some MMORPG licences! Especially World of Warcraft, holy f-ing $#!% will you be rich if you can get Blizzard to make a WoW onLive version!!! So many people still play WoW at minimum resolution on their Pentium 4's... but if you could make them play WoW at full video settings thanks to onLive without the need to upgrade their PCs... I can bet you right now, you will get a good chunk of the 12 million WoW subscribers to play an onLive version of WoW!!!!
99 bucksPosted: Nov 18, 2010 12:00AM PST by Nintendoian666
not too bad, so long as they have goof games i'll give it a shot.
Like Netflix for gamingPosted: Nov 18, 2010 12:00AM PST by Spacejunk
This should be a flat rate for unlimited access to games... like netflix. Netflix seems to be succeeding with this business model. It's only a matter of time before somebody does it with gaming. It seems just like another steam service, but for consoles, and you need to buy hardware to access it.
They (whoever) can push digital distribution all they want- I'd STILL rather pay full price ($60) for a game and physically OWN a disc, rather than save $10 and download it with nothing to show. I understand the appeal of this for a lot of people, but if they want this to be the norm the prices need to drop 70-80%. To be honest though, i've never browsed Steam so i don't know the prices on first run games. (and yes, i am aware of all the awesome Steam weekend deals)
I would pay as much as $30-$40 a month for unlimited access to games. That being said, I don't understand royalties contracts or licensing fees for games so I don't know if this would be feasible. But, we just got Netflix up here in Canada, and even though the catalog isn't the greatest (yet), I've already signed up and dropped a lot of my cable TV subscription packages. A set fee per month for unlimited access seems to be the way to get people on-board. At least Canucks like me.
Maybe a service like OnLive could compromise and charge $40-$50 for newly released games and games older than 1 year could be accessed by an unlimited monthly subscription? Personally, I hope this cloud service succeeds because it's ony the beginning of a new industry. Ten years from now this will all be moote anyways- we'll only have one console next to our HOLO-TV's serving up movies, gaming, music, and TV shows. And it will be made by Applesoft!
Why the hell would you do this?Posted: Nov 18, 2010 12:00AM PST by Jaded_Fruit_Fly
Why pay for games only to be fully dependent on the quality of your on-line connection and their servers to play your games? The steam analogy is moot because if the steam servers or your Internet connection are down you can still play the game you bought. Also the quality of streaming always sucks compared to on disk media. Always. This sounds like the biggest ripoff since Apple started charging a buck a pop for bad quality MP3's. But people were dumb enough to buy into that scheme. So maybe they'll fall for this too.
Have you tried it?Posted: Nov 18, 2010 12:00AM PST by MiniRagnarok
I know plenty of people that would use this service. You don't have to build a super computer to play these games. The quality of my online connection is good. The quality of the games are pretty good as well. It's not 1080p but it is 720p. I personally won't be getting this, however, it's not hard for me to see that many people would want OnLive. Just because they're not you, doesn't mean they're stupid. Saying that Apple charging a buck for a MP3 is a ripoff just shows how disconnected from mainstream America you really are.
You mean AAC.Posted: Nov 18, 2010 12:00AM PST by Master_Brown
1$ a pop for DRM-free, 256 kbps AACs? Yes please. Most end up being less expansive than 1$ if you buy the whole album. But music is not the topic here, so who the fuck cares.
However, if this thing does not get a flat-rate with unlimited access like Netflix, I don't see it succeeding either. There are some huge advantages to it, like not having to build a super-expansive PC gaming rig (unless I got it wrong, that thing plays PC games?), and if your internet connection can support it, I see a lot of people buying into that. But I don't get the rationale behind "Pay the same price as a retail disc, but you don't always get to play it because A. Our servers are down or B. Your internets are down". Like its been stated earlier, this is not digital distribution like Steam or XBL or whatever the equivalent is on PSN, it's a streaming service, but for the full price of a game, and this part sounds ridiculous to me.
Think about it (if you can wrap your console brain around something this big)Posted: Nov 18, 2010 12:00AM PST by Fragasm
You'd be getting access to a software product; that's why you pay the same as retail disc price. If you think you're "getting your moneys worth" by acquiring a disc, jewel case, and a game manual I implore you to research to price of those items en masse. I'm sure it'd be in cents.
When you consider the fact that complete bums and console kids would be able to use this service to play games that would otherwise be completely out of their leagues because they can't scrounge up $1000 to put together a gaming rig -- the price seems reasonable. Don't you think? For every person playing a game I'd imagine that the service would be running the equivilant of a gaming rig on their end to support the game on the consumers end.
This sounds like a steal to me; and if I were a poor little lowly console kid who was afraid of computers; I'd probably be all over this.
Why does this article say they announced a monthly service?Posted: Nov 18, 2010 12:00AM PST by jawsome
When and where does the author get this information from? As far as I know there is NO option to do this.
"and has announced a new monthly flat-rate subscription plan"
As far as I know there is NO option to do this. Seems like an important detail...
Not yet ready.Posted: Nov 18, 2010 12:00AM PST by Endgame19
1up and other reporting services may be getting information before it's officially published on thier site. Additionaly the comment below may be why it's not published on thier site yet.
"OnLive will also offer a flat-rate subscription service later this year for what it is describing as back-catalog, indie and classic games"
onlive subscription planPosted: Nov 18, 2010 12:00AM PST by PLSLC1
yeah, they used to have a monthly fee, but it got dropped, so it's free. What the author is talking about is the upcoming model where you have the option (onlive itself is still free)
to pay a monthly fee (around $10 like netflix) to play their entire back catalog unlimited at no xtra charge.
Keep In Mind, Regarding Owning GamesPosted: Nov 18, 2010 12:00AM PST by QB's_Finest
That Steam does the same thing - you don't actually own any of the games you buy from Steam, just the right to play them (pretty much indefinitely). That hasn't stopped tons of people (including myself) from buying games from it and using the service in other ways frequently.
I have 40+ games on it for less than $150 and I've barely had enough of CSS and L4D2. Digital is the way to go, for PC gaming anyways. Don't have a PS3, Not gonna pay for LIVE (especially a WiFi adapter - older 360 models screwed people on that) and the Wii's VC does not have many amazing past titles. Then, WiiWare charges $10 or $20 for a really old, always-free PC game Cave Story?
I don't use SteamPosted: Nov 18, 2010 12:00AM PST by ElectricBanquet
and I'm not going to use OnLive. Maybe I'm just a dinosaur who's holding on to the past, but I'd rather be that than buy games that I don't really own, that the use of is dependent on somebody keeping a server up and running somewhere.
ActuallyPosted: Dec 08, 2010 12:00AM PST by QB's_Finest
Buying games on Steam functions the same as owning any disc-based game - you get to play it indefinitely, as long as you don't violate any terms of use, etc. This would mean if you use hacks, your account is banned. Simple.
And you can play any game in offline mode. Also, unless a game's multiplayer uses a server system instead of matchmaking (such as Team Fortress 2 or Counter-Strike), you can play the game at any time, even without an internet connection. Like, you know, consoles.
xersisbarbosaPosted: Nov 18, 2010 12:00AM PST by xersisbarbosa
Like the cloud, why not play tag? But when you "buy" a game, you are essentially buying the rights to the game as long as it is on servers OnLive, that is until 2013.
I think it's worth a tryPosted: Nov 18, 2010 12:00AM PST by ScatPants
If the titles are cheap enough and it's lag free. Imagine a midnight launch without having to go to a midnight launch.
That already exists,Posted: Nov 18, 2010 12:00AM PST by Jaded_Fruit_Fly
It's called a pre-download. Can be done for most big games on PC. I think the first game to do it was Half-Life 2. It does not always work perfectly though.
this will fail so fastPosted: Nov 17, 2010 12:00AM PST by quakelive
shitty controller and u don't own anything sounds like something activision would do
I partially agree...Posted: Nov 18, 2010 12:00AM PST by RedRum6x3
The controller (at least as far as looks) seems to get it right. The D pad looks definitive, the analogs are positioned right, unlike the 360. Just not sure about the buttons. I don't how they feel, but having different colors might help a little.
I totally agree on not owning any of the software though. I need to have something physical.
A while backPosted: Nov 17, 2010 12:00AM PST by HoFT013
I wanted this to work so badly. I love cloud computing, so why not cloud gaming? But when you "buy" a game, you're essentially buying the rights to the game as long as it's on OnLive's servers, which is until 2013.
And?Posted: Nov 18, 2010 12:00AM PST by QB's_Finest
Steam works the same way, you're only buying the rights to the game, you don't actually own the games, and that hasn't stopped people (including me) from buying games off it and using the service frequently.
Onlive more like OffDeadPosted: Nov 17, 2010 12:00AM PST by JOYFUL_NOISE
O gosh! I crack myself up!!! no but seriously does anyone have this? Anyone? I wanna know if it is all worth it?
Paying a monthly fee just to run there console sounds like crap, plus the FULL cost of games, and dont forget the "console" its self. Why would anyone choose this over Steam? Does Steam charge monthly services?
NopePosted: Nov 17, 2010 12:00AM PST by frankcifaldi
Steam doesn't charge a monthly service, but neither does OnLive. They announced that plan ages ago but never actually went through with it, there is no monthly charge.
Steam is different....Posted: Nov 17, 2010 12:00AM PST by SlamSlayer1
This lets you play games over cloud rendering. Meaning all of the graphics are done over on the server side. If you get games off of steam your using them on YOUR computer. If you get games over online your streaming them like a video that you can control. All the rendering is done over on their end. Its more for people that don't have a decent computer or are not interested in current gen consoles.
rukiirPosted: Nov 17, 2010 12:00AM PST by Ventus
I've had it on my PC for a while now, but there's no subscription. I got the account from a friend, he wound up in the beta but his internet wasn't fast enough for the streaming. Neither of us have had to pay a penny for the service.
It's pretty okay, I guess. There's rental and purchase (though it lasts as long as OnLive has the rights to it, which is 2013 for all current games, though I can't imagine playing some of these after that time). So, yeah. It's okay. I really wouldn't suggest it, though.
RightsPosted: Nov 18, 2010 12:00AM PST by Master_Brown
So you're saying, if I buy a game from OnLive, I get the right to play it until these rights are taken away from OnLive? Is it just me or does that just sounds like complete bullshit?
@frankPosted: Nov 18, 2010 12:00AM PST by JOYFUL_NOISE

D-Link Australia DIR-615
- Easy to setup, fast wireless transfers, good wireless reach
- Web filters can be a little confusing to set-up
Bottom Line
Overall, it's easy to set-up and it produced fast wireless results in our tests. If you're after a new wireless router with draft-n capability, the DIR-615 is a relatively inexpensive option.
Price$ 199.00 (AUD)
This wireless router can capably distribute the Internet connection from an ADSL or cable modem over its 4-port, 10/100 Ethernet switch and 802.11b/g/n wireless access point.
It's a relatively inexpensive router, which makes it a decent choice for any users who want to move to an 802.11 draft-n network. Of course, draft-n adapters will also be needed, which start from around $100, but the advantages of draft-n are more speed for wireless transfers over the same distance as 802.11g networks, as well as greater coverage over longer distances.
With 300Mbps of wireless bandwidth on offer, the DIR-615 is well suited to video streaming and transferring large files on a local network. During our tests, an 802.11 draft-n file transfer averaged a transfer rate of 5.62MBps at 1m away from the router, and 5.21MBps at 10m away and with a double-brick wall as an obstacle. Moving up to 13m away and with two double-brick walls as an obstacle, the same file transfer averaged 4.39MBps, which is an excellent result. These results were obtained with a Linksys WPC300N notebook adapter, so the DIR-615 will definitely 'play nice' with other vendors' adapters.
Another advantage of the 300Mbps bandwidth is that it can be adequately shared amongst multiple PCs and notebooks. We streamed a 659Kbps ASF video file to our 802.11 draft-n-equipped notebook while transferring a file to our 802.11g-equipped notebook. The file transfer averaged 2.14MBps (the same rate that was averaged when the transfer was conducted on its own) and the video played stutter-free for the most part, although it did drop a few frames when the 802.11g file transfer was almost two-thirds complete. While streaming videos to the 802.11 draft-n and 802.11g notebooks simultaneously, we didn't notice any stuttering or any dropped frames, which means that at least two notebooks can wirelessly stream different video files from the same file server at a distance of around 10m away from the router, without any problems.
As for distance, the DIR-615 reached just over 20m (with brick walls and other obstacles in the way) before our video stream became unwatchable. This result is better than what we've experienced with 802.11g-based networks during the same test.
All our wireless tests were conducted with WPA (WPA or WPA2 mode) encryption enabled. This WPA mode actually allows clients using either WPA or WPA2 encryption (with TKIP or AES ciphers) to connect to the router, which is very convenient for environments which have clients that use either of those types of encryption.
For security while connected to the Internet, the DIR-615 has a built-in firewall and anti-spoof protection, which can guard against IP addresses that aren't real (or spoofed). It also has provision for restricting the Internet access and logging the Web access of any clients that are connected to the router. It's not overly simple to enable this, as access control settings and Web filter settings need to be set up separately from two different pages, but once it's set-up, it will conspicuously block Web pages that feature any flagged keywords.
Elsewhere, the DIR-615 has all the network features expected of a decent wireless router, including port-forwarding, port-triggering, DMZ and virtual server functions and it's an easy router for novices to set up, thanks primarily to the setup CD that accompanies the router, which has step-by-step instructions on connecting to the Internet and setting up a wireless network connection.

The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
