The closely-watched Tankan survey, carried out quarterly by the Bank of Japan, showed corporate sentiment was gaining confidence.
The Tankan should quell fears about the strength of the recovery after recent data showing Japan's traditional motor of growth - exports - were slowing.
Domestic demand seems finally to be taking up the slack, recent data shows.
To prepare the Tankan, the Bank of Japan surveys thousands of businesses to discover the mood in different sectors of the economy.
Investment prospects
The most keenly-watched measure - the "diffusion index" - showed that in the three months to June, big manufacturers gained in confidence from an already bullish reading in March.
The index rose to 18, up from 14 in March and better than economists' forecasts for a reading of 15.
Non-manufacturers were also more optimistic.
Elsewhere in the survey, companies reported they were ready to increase their capital spending by 9.4% this year - a leap from March's prediction of just 1%.
But the forward-looking part of the survey, the outlook index, showed a slightly more muted response.
Economists put the caution down to continuing concerns about exports - particularly to China, Japan's second-biggest trade partner - which have flagged as Beijing tries to cool its wildfire growth rate.

Just five Big Brother housemates remain in the running for the $1 million prize money. Clare Buttner speculates on who will win.
Last week began with unprecedented drama as far as Big Brother goes. Bree, who was evicted the previous Sunday, returned to the house when the vote counters realised they�d made an embarrassing mistake and she should not have been evicted.
She went back in on Monday night, shocking the other housemates. But more shocked was Bree herself, who broke down shortly after returning, the turmoil having taken its toll.
Wesley, the housemate who should have gone on Sunday went on Thursday followed by Monica and Ashalea in last night�s double eviction.
That leaves just five housemates and the million-dollar question is who will take home the prize money?
We all know Ryan considers himself a "typical Aussie bloke", for he is constantly reminding everyone of such. He certainly fits the stereotype of the footy-loving, beer-drinking "mate" that has long formed part of mainstream notions of national identity.
However, the intruder Monica, whom the hapless in love housemate had found a connection with, was evicted on Sunday, suggesting that the audience may not have approved of the relationship.
Regardless of any minor damage this encounter may have done, he has without doubt been the central character in this year�s house. A favourite from the outset of both housemates and the public, he will be one of the final few.
Trevor is at times hard to spot. We know he�s a bit of a prankster, but Big Brother�s editing process has prevented the audience from getting to know him properly through conversation. In fact, rarely do we see Trevor actually say anything at all! Nonetheless, like Ryan, he has remained at the top-end of the popularity poll throughout the series, thanks to his fun and casual manner.
This is not the first time Paul has dabbled with reality television. He also appeared in the reality TV show "The Club", shown on Channel 7 in 2002. We can only assume therefore, that he fits some kind of formula that TV casting folk adhere to.
Assuming the identity of resident "stirrer" in the Big Brother house, he added controversy and drama to the series early on. Defining himself as the trouble-maker has offered him a degree of protection from eviction as he can get away with being more outspoken than the other housemates because he is simply doing what is expected.
Thus, his refusal to take part in one of the weekly tasks, and his run-in with Merlin about being "Australian" seem to have been forgiven by the audience.
He is also a married father of two young children, which may make voters sympathetic in his favour when it comes to deciding who deserves the cash.
Bree�s popularity soared upon her return to the house. But Bree was evicted and if she were to win there would no doubt be an uproar about her having an unfair advantage due to her brief encounter with the outside world.
Catherine is a single mum with two young kids who entered the house to rediscover herself. Like Paul, her situation may garner sympathy from the audience. However, she hasn�t really added much in terms of "entertainment value".
One of the phrases that has been used to excess in the house is: "I�ll give you the hot tip". The hot tip is it will be a battle of the boys.

Reliable Hammer Tacker
If it weren't for hammer tackers, the tedious task of applying felt paper and housewrap would be intolerable. As part of Arrow's new RED line, the HT50iRED has a bottom-loading mechanism that the maker says tightly secures the staples and makes jamming less likely than in rear-loading models. The tool's compact size makes it ideal for installing paper-faced insulation and doing other jobs in confined spaces. It can hold two full strips of T-50 staples ranging from 1/4 to 3/8 inch in size.

It was a star-studded crowd for the 11th annual Movies for Grownups Awards, hosted by AARP Magazine. Sharon Stone was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award which was presented to her by Martin Scorsese who directed her in her Oscar-nominated Casino, certainly a highlight of her career, and both acknowledged that with great stories.
Stone, looking ravishingly beautiful, said, "I must have died and gone to heaven to get a Lifetime Achievement Award from Martin Scorsese. I am so grateful for this day. I'm grateful I'm here in this moment. I'm grateful I'm here, because it wasn't always a sure thing." In case you didn't know, this gorgeous blonde has been through hell in her life, and yet retains a great sense of humor.
Clips throughout her career showed everyone Stone is an actress of uncommon range: dazzling us in such films as Basic Instinct, and winning an Emmy for The Practice. In addition to appearing in more than 40 films, Stone is the mother of three young sons and a dedicated philanthropist, helping many causes including amfAR and AIDS research.
Martin Scorsese took home an award for Breakthrough Accomplishment, from his magnificent Hugo film, his valentine to the art of filmmaking.
Also on hand were lots of Oscar nominees enjoying the relaxed atmosphere at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel. Meryl Streep chatted with enthusiasm with Ed Begley Jr. and his wife Rachelle as they rekindled a friendship that formed when they made the movie She Devil, an outrageous comedy. And Meryl told me her next project is going to be "a sexy comedy." Meryl was happy to get the Best Grownup Love Story award for The Iron Lady, because of the touching portrayal of the relationship between Margaret Thatcher and her husband. Meryl joked that Jim Broadbent played her husband, "and he hated Margaret Thatcher, so that was a strong bit of acting talent that had him playing the guy who crawls into bed with her."
The AARP was the right crowd for Meryl to explain that, "Margaret Thatcher was kicked out of office, forcibly retired, a situation that happens too much here in America."
Glenn Close, Oscar nominee for Albert Nobbs, was on hand to pick up her Best Actress award, but then had to catch a flight to resume filming her series Damages in New York in the morning. Glenn said Albert Nobbs "was a dream I've had for years, and now it's a dream come true."
The Movies for Grownups Awards had the ideal host with Michael Nouri. He ad-libbed a hysterical bit with Kenneth Branagh. It was fun to see two such classy guys just go over the top and provide big laughs.
Also part of the prestigious gathering was Robert Forster, Chloe Moretz, Penelope Ann Miller, Kathy Griffin, Laila Ali, Janet McTeer, Burt Young, and Max von Sydow. Gene Kelly's widow, Patricia Ward Kelly, helped honor the phenomenal silent movie The Artist as Best Comedy. James Cromwell urged everyone to give The Artist another look: "Like a great bottle of wine, it improves with age and deserves a second taste."
Other movies honored were The Descendants, named Best Movie; Best Actor, Oliver Litondo for The First Grader; Best Writer, Woody Allen for Midnight in Paris; Best Supporting Actor, Christopher Plummer for Beginners; Best Intergenerational Movie was Win Win; and Best Movie for Grownups Who Refuse to Grow Up was won by The Muppets.
The Help was selected Reader's Choice. Octavia Spencer was there to thank everyone and hope the AARP crowd would bring her more luck. Actually the organizers of the program can take a bow for being a predictor for the Oscars. Nancy Perry Graham, editor in chief at AARP Magazine; and Bill Newcott, the entertainment editor; plus Meg Gran, West Coast editor, can be proud to continue the 11-year tradition of showcasing decent adult movies.

Corbett Excelling in Automotive Service Field
When Greenville's Robert Bosch Tools plant closed in 2007, P.J. Corbett was left with no job and no particular skillset that would distinguish him from the hundreds of others who would soon be flooding the job market.
Upon graduating from D.H. Conley High School in 1994, Corbett, who was already employed at Bosch, decided he would continue working at the manufacturing plant rather than pursue a college education.
"I made the common mistake of thinking, 'Why go to college when I already have a good job?'" he said of the decision. It wasn't until Bosch closed that he finally had a definitive answer to that question.
Corbett says Pitt Community College offered the training and skills he needed for a new career. And just two years after enrolling at PCC, he says he was already receiving job offers when he completed an associate degree in Automotive Systems Technology in 2010.
"In no time at all, I was working as a technician at the dealership level and earning higher wages than I ever made during my previous manufacturing experience," Corbett says. "The knowledge and insight that I gained while attending PCC have allowed me to achieve ASE Master Technician certification less than two years into my career."
Corbett, who has been working at Greenville Toyota for more than a year now (after spending a year at another dealership), has a one-year-old son with his wife, Amy, a graduate of PCC's radiography program who works as an X-ray technician at Vidant Medical Center.

335i Glacier Silver M-Sport
A quick post about the 335 I took delivery on yesterday. More to come but I'm having a blast, pretty much finding any excuse to leave the driveway and drive.
The car was available stock at local dealer - more of post to come on my experience at two dealers and my impressions on the car. I have to say I was always a bit biased against the silver interior but I think it goes well with this car in bright silver on black. On paper very far from my first choice but the car is optioned close to what I was after and the timing right for me.
Glacier Silver M-Sport
Black Leather with Aluminum Trim
M-Sport w 19" M-Sport wheels, 8AT Sport Transmission
Tech, Premium, Harmon-Kardon, PDC & Backup, Front Seat Heat
A couple of quick snaps attached. Loving it so far.
I have to say for those obsessing every last option - this isn't really even super close to what I was ordering and originally after. And in the end the car has me smiling like crazy and enjoying the great design that is part of every configuration. I had an E90 335 and am very impressed in this car initially with the amazing transmission and the overall cockpit feel. The M-Sport wheel has won me over along with the HUD and in general the wrapped-around sense of being in this car. The black interior drops away and works with this car. I have never been a fan of black leather or of the metal or plain trims (vs wood) - this car has me sold, something about the silver and M-Sport that makes it all work for me. Love it so far. More to come...

2 Month Follow Up at the Doctor
Tuesday, November 19, 2013
Last night I went in for my follow up appointment with the doctor to get the results of my bloodwork and to weigh in after 2 months. During my initial appointment in September, she asked me if I had considered bariatric surgery and I freaked. It was indeed a wake up call. I could no longer ignore that my morbid obesity is dangerous enough to my health that extreme measures needed to be considered. This was not a personal affront to me. It was simply FACT. I KNEW that I had to stop talking about losing the weight and finally DO IT. I assured her that I did not need surgery and that I could and would lose the weight on my own. She was responsive to this and I suggested that I come back in two months to evaluate my progress and she agreed. I would have my boodwork done the week before the follow up and we would then assess where I was.
So...for the last two months I have been trying really, really hard. I have not been perfect, but I have been consistent. I have been focusing on fresh, nutrient dense foods and generally avoiding processed foods. I have increased my exercise and have been drinking water. I also have dramatically cut down on the artificial sweeteners. I was shocked at how much artificial sweeteners were feeding my crazy sugar cravings.
I was feeling somewhat disappointed about the progress I had made. I truly expected to lose more weight but I guess it just does not come off as quickly as it used to when I was younger. By my estimation, as of Saturday at my weigh in I had lost 9 pounds in two months. Not great, but I'll take it. At least it is moving in the right direction and I DID hit the lowest weight I have been at in probably THREE YEARS when I hit 255.8. Well guess what? I went to a fundraiser dinner Saturday night and had a few drinks, dinner and dessert and jumped up FOUR POUNDS overnight. Of course this was fluid. I know that. I did not stuff myself, but I ate things that I have not been eating that I am sure had a lot of sodium. Knowing I had my appointment on Monday, I kept my calories at the low end of my range on Sunday, drank my water went for a walk and later went on an hour long hike with a good amount of hills. I figured that would bring me back down. I got on the scale yesterday morning and freaked because I was still up four pounds.
I was so upset yesterday morning and of course was dreading my doctors appointment. I did my first emotional eating in a very long time. I stopped at Hardee's and got an egg and cheese biscuit and a large hash rounds. 970 calories and 62 grams of fat. Stupid. I know. Who eats something like THAT the day of a weigh in appointment? Me. That's who. felt like I was going to the principal's office and I was freaking out because I felt like the progress I had made in the last too months was not "good enough".
I could barely concentrate at work all day long. I was so nervous before I left work that I took a Xanax because I was on the verge of a panic attack (I rarely take these. I have a prescription for 10 pills that last me for a year. I save them for "emergencies"). I check in and her nurse weighs me and I see that my loss is going to register only 5 pounds (because that pesky 4 pounds is still hanging on). I go into the exam room and await what I am sure will amount to a lecture.
To my utter shock, she is very pleased with my progress! She tells me slow and steady is healthy and that my numbers are not just good, they are GREAT. My cholesterol went from 241 to 203 and my triglycerides are very good! Sugars, enzymes, etc. all are in the normal ranges! She said the my LDL is good and that it will continue to improve with exercise. I was so happy and relieved. She asked if 2 months is good for me to come back since the holidays are coming and I said yes. She asked me how I plan to handle the holidays since they are a challenge and I told her I am going to continue to plan ahead and stick with it. I will indulge in what I really want, but in moderation.
So there you have it. I needlessly worried myself. I am so stinking happy and motivated right now. She is only looking for 5 pounds every two months. I KNOW I can meet that challenge and then some.

Glad to hear the visit went well. She wanted to see progress in your numbers and you gave here that...bravo. She could see your cholesterol had improved and from a medical standpoint ...that's what it is all about ...not skinny jeans.
I know you can do better as well and you are likely feeling a lot more motivated now because the pressure is off ....and I think wanting to lose want from a place of loving yourself is the best kind!

Oh don't I know what you mean, I just undermined myself with a sugar binge, yesterday morning I had just been saying to myself, six weeks til Christmas, you can drop a few kilos by then.
As my Sparkfriend Watermellen says, weight loss is mostly in the head. Keep up with your plan, you know what to do, and just accept there will be glitches along the way.
I think the thing is not to get in a spin when things go wrong. The more you stay calm, the more you can notice what happened, and the better chance you have of figuring out what is going on before the binge.
Then you can nip it in the bud.
What's going in for me is, I don't want to drop any more weight just now.
Sounds weird,but I'll go along with that for a while and let my body do the talking.

SHE might be only looking for 5 lbs in two months, but I know you can do more!
Your numbers are fantastic! Way to go!
You're doing great, you just need to start working on getting a hold of that emotional eating. It's something I struggle with every day. I could totally relate to your Hardee's fast-food choice on the day of weigh-in.
A book I borrowed from the library was really helpful (and it's available on Amazon) it's called 50 Ways to Soothe Yourself Without Food. I've read a few different books on emotional eating and they're helping in that I'm more often recognizing, acknowledging and 'calling out' my desire to eat because of an emotion I'm having. Calling it to the mat is the first step to learning to deal with the emotion in a different and more healthy way.
Keep up the great work!!

That is so awesome! I am so happy for you. Yes, we focus so much on the scale, we don't really see the real results that matter the most, how our blood and system is responding to the healthy lifestyle changes we make with consistent healthy dietary changes.
I am so proud of you! Keep going! Yeah! : high five :

Having a Tumblr is a good idea, but like Sigma I think Wordpress is probably better for a mainpage. Considering that most sites now have a number of links to various social media, would there also be a chance of having a Facebook link? I am not sure about Twitter as I don't see how it would be useful as of yet but perhaps down the road it can be added.
There are few men in this Parliament for whom I have greater respect than the leader of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation. I admire him in my heart, because time and again he has had the courage to say what lays on his conscience, regardless of what the world might think of him. A man of that calibre is an ornament to any Parliament.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Which is a problem. If you are powerless.
Who's going to be doing the vetting & proofreading, to start?
The logical response to getting that tingle in his dingle is turning into an asshat, of course.
I want to contribute somehow, but I have no experience with podcasts or video making/editing. But for my major, I'm focusing heavily on evolutionary biology, so I'd be willing to edit and/or contribute to any articles about evolution, or even just biology in general. I suck at writing though, so I don't know if I'd do so well writing an article on my own.
I have more pleasant things to focus my attention, time, and resources on than Gamergate or the Gamergate thread, such as pouring hot sauce in my eyes, lemon juice enemas, and imagining being eaten alive by fire ants.
If you'd rather not write on your own, you are always welcome to fact-check, or, if you can find someone up to it, co-author.Similar offer is open to anyone with a deep knowledge of any field who doesn't fell like writing a post.I've gone ahead and grabbed @fqanswers on Twitter and fqanswers.wordpress.com.

More than a week after mysterious pictures of Halle Berry rocking some strange footwear — first, crutches and now a cast up to her knee — surfaced, the true story behind the accident that has the actress hobbling and that has halted shooting on her film Cloud Atlas has finally been revealed.
Though movie studio Warner Bros. tried to cover up the scandal by simply stating Berry had broken her foot "walking in Majorca on a day off from filming," an anonymous source tells People that there's far more to the story.
On September 21, says the source, Berry was at her villa in Majorca and spotted her daughter Nahla chasing a goat. A split second later, the three of them were scrambling across a stretch of rocky countryside — Halle chasing her daughter and her daughter chasing a goat.
Finally, says the source, Berry caught up with Nahla, grabbed her little girl, started back to her villa — and that's when she stumbled over a rock and broke her foot.
We're sure you're as thankful as we are for that bit of investigative journalism. We'll all sleep better tonight knowing the real story. Now, how long before Hollywood calls for the movie rights?

Renacci and his 'many distortions'
It is not possible to give an adequate response to Congressman Renacci's campaign column of Friday, July 6, while complying with your 400-word limit, so I must choose from his many distortions.
The Congressman calls the new health care law, the Affordable Care Act, a "massive government takeover of health care," when, in fact, the law builds on the country's private insurance system by requiring individuals to have coverage. It can only be a boon for that industry. It does expand Medicaid, but it is in no sense a government takeover of health care. It does not get between the doctor and patient; it gets the patient before the doctor, and the doctor gets paid.
Mr. Renacci implies very few doctors and nurses support the law. In fact, its president, Jeremy Lazarus, MD, stated the American Medical Association "has long supported health insurance coverage for all, and we are pleased that this decision means millions of Americans can look forward to the coverage they need to get healthy and stay healthy." The American Nurses Association issued a press release which " lauds the U.S. Supreme Court's decision today to uphold the Affordable Care Act (ACA), including the minimum coverage provision." It called it a victory for all patients and their families.
As to patients, the Massachusetts health care law enacted in 2006, said to be the model for the new federal law, was initially unpopular with that state's residents. Now, according to Forbes magazine, "Individuals and businesses, by a large margin, agree it has been successful as measured by the people, including many middle income families, who would not be able to afford health insurance otherwise."
Renacci states the law will "cut funding for Medicare by $500 billion." When Mitt Romney made that claim, FactCheck.org called it a distortion, explaining, "(The $500 billion is) a reduction in the future growth of Medicare spending over 10 years." Distortion is too polite a word.
The July 6 issue of The Daily Record also reprinted an editorial from the Ironton Tribune which pointedly stated, "The time for rhetoric and grandstanding has passed. These changes are likely here to stay, at least for the foreseeable future. Let's start really focusing on patients instead of politics."
On July 11, Renacci again cast his vote in the House of Representatives to repeal the new health care law. He did so for purely political reasons.

And the lights are on, why?
The Wooster Library closes at 8:30 p.m. on Monday nights, yet when I go past it at 9:20 p.m. all of the inside lights are on.
Are they on for housekeeping, because someone has a friend that works for the power company, because the timer is off or just because it's only tax money?
At least make a showing and turn some lights off.

Decision was defining moment
Mitt Romney will have us believe that the Affordable Health Care Act is unconstitutional, when it is almost exactly what he instituted in Massachusetts as governor, including the mandate. The Supreme Court's ruling was very important, and it was made by the people most qualified to make this decision.
Who else would know the Constitution better than the justices? The checks and balances that our forefathers envisioned have worked. This was a defining moment for the nation, not just Democrats or Republicans. This is Democracy at its best.

Ive wondered the same about the library. Why are the lights left on all nite at times? We come into town about 4am and the lights are on? What a waste of tax payers dollars. Wake up people.

Chicago IL (SPX) Aug 12, 2013
A newly discovered fossil reveals the evolutionary adaptations of a 165-million-year-old proto-mammal, providing evidence that traits such as hair and fur originated well before the rise of the first true mammals. The biological features of this ancient mammalian relative, named Megaconus mammaliaformis, are described by scientists from the University of Chicago in the Aug 8 issue of Nature.
"We finally have a glimpse of what may be the ancestral condition of all mammals, by looking at what is preserved in Megaconus. It allows us to piece together poorly understood details of the critical transition of modern mammals from pre-mammalian ancestors," said Zhe-Xi Luo, professor of organismal biology and anatomy at the University of Chicago.
Discovered in Inner Mongolia, China, Megaconus is one of the best-preserved fossils of the mammaliaform groups, which are long-extinct relatives to modern mammals. Dated to be around 165 million years old, Megaconus co-existed with feathered dinosaurs in the Jurassic era, nearly 100 million years before Tyrannosaurus Rex roamed Earth.
Preserved in the fossil is a clear halo of guard hairs and underfur residue, making Megaconus only the second known pre-mammalian fossil with fur. It was found with sparse hairs around its abdomen, leading the team to hypothesize that it had a naked abdomen. On its heel, Megaconus possessed a long keratinous spur, which was possibly poisonous. Similar to spurs found on modern egg-laying mammals, such as male platypuses, the spur is evidence that this fossil was most likely a male member of its species.
"Megaconus confirms that many modern mammalian biological functions related to skin and integument had already evolved before the rise of modern mammals," said Luo, who was also part of the team that first discovered evidence of hair in pre-mammalian species in 2006 (Science, 331: 1123-1127, DOI:10.1126/science.1123026).
A terrestrial animal about the size of a large ground squirrel, Megaconus was likely an omnivore, possessing clearly mammalian dental features and jaw hinge. Its molars had elaborate rows of cusps for chewing on plants, and some of its anterior teeth possessed large cusps that allowed it to eat insects and worms, perhaps even other small vertebrates.
It had teeth with high crowns and fused roots similar to more modern, but unrelated, mammalian species such as rodents. Its high-crowned teeth also appeared to be slow growing like modern placental mammals.
The skeleton of Megaconus, especially its hind-leg bones and finger claws, likely gave it a gait similar to modern armadillos, a previously unknown type of locomotion in mammaliaforms.
Luo and his team identified clearly non-mammalian characteristics as well. Its primitive middle ear, still attached to the jaw, was reptile-like. Its anklebones and vertebral column are also similar to the anatomy of previously known mammal-like reptiles.
"We cannot say that Megaconus is our direct ancestor, but it certainly looks like a great-great-grand uncle 165 million years removed. These features are evidence of what our mammalian ancestor looked like during the Triassic-Jurassic transition," Luo said.
"Megaconus shows that many adaptations found in modern mammals were already tried by our distant, extinct relatives. In a sense, the three big branches of modern mammals are all accidental survivors among many other mammaliaform lineages that perished in extinction," Luo added.
The fossil, now in the collections in Paleontological Museum of Liaoning in China, was discovered and studied by an international team of paleontologists from Paleontological Museum of Liaoning, University of Bonn in Germany, and the University of Chicago.

Have Medical Questions? Ask a Doctor Online!
I cut a chunk of flesh off the tip of my pinky finger. I can see the fat. Do I or can I get stitches for this?
Hello,Welcome to JustAnswer.com and thanks for your question.When was the incident happened?Is it large, deep cut, more than one inch in length?
The incident occurred yesterday afternoon. It is a deep cut. The chunk of flesh that was cut off was roughly 1 cm in radius (2 cms total in diameter) and 1 cm in thickness.
Sometimes medical glue (something like a superglue but sterile) may help.
Even you may need a tetanus shot (if you have not had one in the last 10 years) and you may need to be on an antibiotic to reduce the risk of infection.
My pain seemed to be manageable with the Extra Strength Tylenol, taken every 4 hours. However, it's throbbing right now. Why might that be? I've taken every caution to keep it clean. Could it somehow gotten affected without my knowing it? Should I ask for antibiotics?
Well there may be possibility of inflammation on affected area so if your pain is not relieved with Tylenol then you should take OTC Motrin.If your symptoms not relieve then you may need to undergo a clinical examination by your doctor and you may require antibiotics as well.
I'm not sure if i mentioned this but the cut was deep enough that when the chunk of flesh came off, you could see the fat in my finger. Am I to wait for the skin to regrow to fill up that entire gap? How long could this take?
Hello,Well most of wounds get heal in 1-2 weeks.You should change dressing either daily or on alternate days.Take Motrin to relieve inflammation and pain.Take Multivitamin supplement which helps in fast healing.I hope this helps.
Do you think any nerves have been damaged? Are there nerves on the tip of my finger that have been damaged, that could be causing the pain?

Every second of silence, gets me further away.
Akira was deep in the forest, standing still in the middle of an open field, eyes closed. His breathing came regularly as he became conscious of everything surrounding him. He knew, of course, that mastering this technique would be no easy task, and he wouldn't be able to get it on his first try. Letting out a paced breath, Akira began to imagine electricity shooting through him. He imagined a tingling feeling going through his finger, and it was rather easy for him because he had gotten shocked several times. Be it from tazers that lowly guys used in a man to man fist fight, or actual lightning rods, he had his fair share of getting electrocuted, though none of them had actually done him any harm. It was another reason why those in his old school feared him, electricity didn't seem to have much of an effect. It surprised Akira himself, actually, that his body was so durable, but he soon found that electricity strong enough would successfully shock him. He smiled to himself as he felt heat radiating from his finger as a shiver ran down his spine, a familiar tingling feeling shooting towards his finger. As if that was a cue, Akira shot his eyes open and with a glance locked eyes with his target, a tree. He was told that if this technique was used successfully, it could split a non-living target or environment in half. Now was the time to test it out. He pointed his finger casually at the destined target, and although he did feel the tingling sensation go through his finger, there was something off… His suspicions were confirmed the moment the thunder backfired on him, exploding and shocking him in the process. He let out an annoyed sigh as he tamed his slightly frizzy hair and let the heat release from his body, effectively cooling him off. Within seconds he was ready to try again.
Akira looked at the tree with indifferent eyes before closing them. In his mind all he could see was absolute darkness all around him. He imagined the tingling sensation shooting through his finger once more, and this time it came faster than before. Through his mind he saw a shot of white electricity traveling down his arm, to the tip of his finger, concentrating... Concentrating. He put his focus into that part, knowing that he had to controll it or it would explode as it had done before. When it felt to him just right, his eyes snapped open as he locked his eyes on the target, his fingers releasing what concentrated power he had focused on creating. Almost instantly a zap of electricity ran out of his fingers and shot towards the tree. The electricity was immense as well as destructive, as it didn't just chop the tree in half as he had planned, but basically tore a deep scar in the ground as well. Akira was thrown back in recoil. Knowing this wasn't how this spell was supposed to work, he dusted himself up and got ready for a third try.
Akira let out a breath, somewhat annoyed that this technique took as long as it had to master. He was used to getting his techniques down on his first try, which was why this third try somewhat annoyed him. He let those thoughts escape him, however, they would only get in the way when he attempted the technique. He was confident that he would get it this time, he knew what to do now. Once more, he closed his eyes, seeing nothing but absolute darkness all around him. In the midst of this darkness he felt a familiar tingling sensation go through his finger once more, visually seeing the white sparks go across his body. He let the energy concentrate and balance at the tip of his finger, the feat done rather quickly, and when he knew it was ready, he opened his eyes and once more locked his eyes with his target -- the tree next to the previous one. When he released the lightning from his finger it felt just right, and he could tell it was from the way it neatly cut the tree in half, the two pieces charged with electricity before dying out. A satisfied smile made it onto his lips, as he tried it once more without closing his eyes, the familiar tingling feeling natural now as he concentrated and balanced it effortlessly. His finger raised casually towards the next tree, causing it to fall to the same fate as the previous one. Knowing that he now had the technique down, he simply turned away from the scene before him and walked off, a self satisfied smile tracing his lips.
Akira dragged one of the fellow yahoo's that had decided to mess with him this morning, all the way up to Mt. Fuji. Well, rather than dragged he had threatened him to head up there, as he wasn't going to waste his energy dragging a 150lb guy up a mountain. This new guy was going to be his guinea pig for the new spell he was gonna learn, and it was his own fault for trying to do something he shouldn't have. "Stand there." Akira commanded, his voice monotone and his eyes dull. The yahoo didn't say a word as he obediently listened, visibly shaking as he wondered what Akira planned on doing to him. Akira stood several feet away from the guy, and watched in amusement as he could tell that the yahoo was debating on whether or not he should make a run for it. He could mentally picture the look of surprise in the yahoo's face as he closed his eyes, concentrating his holy energy not on himself, but the yahoo standing before him. It didn't matter to him whether or not the yahoo tried to run, as he would easily get him without wasting so much as a second. He could visibly see the holy power surrounding the yahoo's wrists and ankles through closed eyes, and let them all concentrate there to form a tight band that would hold them together. It obviously didn't work so well as the yahoo began to run away just as the holy power began to materialize. Akira let out an annoyed sigh.
Akira envisioned a tight band wrapping around the guy's ankles, this time feeling the power concentrate faster as it was his second try. He tried not to run after the guy as it would break the concentration, but also tried to do it quickly as the further the distance the harder it would be to maintain control. He almost had it, he could feel it. Almost... Almost... Almost... The sound of the yahoo's cry in pain as well as a large thud heard from the distance told Akira what he wanted to hear, and from that he smiled slightly, until the sound of running footsteps could be heard again. Akira put a hand to his face and mumbled something that sounded like a curse, and quickly caught up with the yahoo that was attempting to run away.
Akira easily caught up with the yahoo, and grabbed him by the collar to stop him from running. "Lets try this one more time." He told him in a rather threatening tone. Akira took a few steps back and once more envisioned chains of holy power forming around the yahoo's ankles and wrists, and this time, the yahoo didn't even bother trying to run. This time, it was successful, as the holy chain wrapped itself tightly around its designated places, and held the yahoo in place. Akira simply smiled to himself in satisfaction and released the chains, told the guy to run, only to have him trip and fall by bounding his ankles together. Perfect. He thought to himself, and dismissed the guy after releasing him once more.
Akira sat down in the middle of an open field in the middle of a forest near Mt. Fuji. There, he began to concentrate, feeling the familiar release of Holy Energy though he was attempting to concentrate it on four equal spots. He could envision four fireballs roughly the size of a tennis ball forming around him, four hovering fireballs made of real fire. As he did, he slowly began to feel heat from four points around him, though the heat was very faint. He could feel the holy power concentrating, but it was all a matter of balancing the power so the fireball wouldn't grow too big, nor too small.

Assistant Professor Keith Inman with CSUEB students at a private crime lab in Hayward. (Photo: Max Gerber)
Criminal Justice's Keith Inman called as forensic expert in high profile Arizona trial
- September 30, 2013 5:00am
Cal State East Bay Criminal Justice Administration Department faculty member Keith Inman was called on as a forensic expert in a high profile Arizona criminal trial.
The defense in the Steven DeMocker murder trial called Inman to analyze the crime scene. Inman offered a different interpretation of the evidence than what the jury had been seeing for several weeks. DeMocker is accused of killing his ex-wife, Carol Kennedy, in July 2008, by bludgeoning her to death with a golf club in her upscale Williamson Valley home.
Inman's experience in this trial will no doubt be incorporated into future learning opportunities for CSUEB students.
An expert in crime scene reconstruction and examination, Inman used his 30 years experience working as a forensic scientist to introduce CSUEB students to tools of the trade as part of the CSUEB Forensics Club that he started in 2010. "The Forensic Science Club complements our existing curriculum by offering students access and exposure to what they would see in an actual crime lab," Inman said. "My goal is to train the next generation of forensic leaders and to have our students fully prepared to compete for jobs in crime labs."

Can Social Security benefits be transferred?
No. Social Security benefits are non-transferable, so they can't be garnished, attached or levied by most creditors. Only the federal government can garnish Social Security ch…ecks, and only for limited purposes, like payment of back taxes, alimony, and child support, debt to other federal agencies, and some victim compensation awards. Generally, they withhold only a portion of the benefit to help satisfy these obligations (e.g., maximum of 15% for past due taxes).

You can find all kinds of information about this by going to the SSA.gov web site use the search box for When To Start Receiving Retirement Benefits At Soc…ial Security, we're often asked, "What is the best age to start receiving retirement benefits?"

We hope the following information will help you understand how Social Security can fit into your retirement decision. Click on the below Related Link
How do you get social security disability benefits?
Disability benefits are through the Social Security Administration. You can contact their local office or visit their website.
Do Social Security widow's benefits get taxed?
Yes it is possible for from 50% to 85% of any social security benefits to become taxable income on your income tax return. If you received income from other sources, your be…nefits will not be taxed unless your modified adjusted gross income is more than the base amount for your filing status. Your taxable benefits and modified adjusted gross income are figured in a worksheet in the Form 1040A or Form 1040 Instruction booklet. Before you go to the instruction book, do the following quick computation to determine whether some of your benefits may be taxable: * First, add one half of the total social security benefits that you received for the year to all your other gross worldwide income, including any tax exempt interest and other exclusions from income. * Then, compare this total to the base amount for your filing status. If the total is more than your base amount, some of your benefits may be taxable. The 2009 base amount is: * $25,000 for single, head of household, qualifying widow/widower with a dependent child, or married individuals filing separately who did not live with their spouses at any time during the year Go to the IRS gov web site and use the search box for IRS Publication 915, Social Security and Equivalent Railroad Retirement Benefits. For more information, see the Related Link below.
What is withheld from Social Security Benefits?
Can back child support be withheld from social security benefits
How do you figure your Social Security benefit?

What will your monthly social security benefits be?
How much can you earn while receiving Social Security benefits?
For the year 2010, if you did not reach your full retirement age, they will deduct $1 from your benefit for every $2 earned over $14,160. If you reach full retirement in 2010,… they will deduct $1 for every $3 earned over $37,680 (earned by the month before your birthday). After your full retirement birthday, you can earn an unlimited amount any time after your birthday. See the Related Link below for full details.
What are the Benefits of social security?
People over 65 get free money from the government I would humbly point out that like all taxpayers, I have been paying 6.2% of my earnings into this program for years, so t…hat I will get "free money" in the future. Assuming they do not run out of money, which, at present rates, they will in a few years. Most expensive "free" thing I have had lately. Social Security pays for the elderly , the retired , or handicap. The money is received from everyone paying taxes. It can be extremely helpful if one gets into an accident or if a spouse has deceased.

a GovHack 2012 project by Darren Reid and Adam Baxter
What is it?
WeatheredOak is an API (advanced programming interface) for the ACORNSat historical weather data – a data set provided by the Bureau of Meteorology containing temperatures from many Australian weather stations from approximately 1900 to December last year.
What does it achieve?
- Parsing of the legacy ACORNSat data into a modern database
- Access for developers and applications to a large data set in a way that's easy to use – a RESTful API.
- Very fast data access – five years of temperature data can be retrieved in a second!
- An example of how governments could make their data sets more accessible to developers
Who is it intended for?
Developers interested in using historical temperature data in their web, mobile or desktop applications
Why have we done it?
We are interested in data as a service, providing simple tools for developers to effectively use public data.
Does it solve a problem?
The original data was split across 112 weather stations and 224 temperature files. We've consolidated this into a database and a service to interact with it. Instead of working across text files and spreadsheets, a developer can make a single call to our service and receive a wide range of temperature data.
How will it be used?
An application developer can use their programming language of choice to access our service and get weather station and temperature data in a variety of formats.
Developer documentation is available at https://bitbucket.org/voltagex/weatheredoak/wiki/API
Even if you are using spreadsheets, you can use our data. Shown above is Google Docs. Create the above picture by entering
in a cell, then hitting the chart button!
This is an example of the way the service can transform data. Google Docs needs CSV to work with, so that's what we gave it.
See http://govhack.typ0.co/default.htm for an example of data crunching with our service – calculating averages for a weather station over time
Why will people use it?
- Using a service is easier than hosting, storing and accessing a database.
- When partial data sets are needed (e.g. in a mobile application where loading 500 megabytes of data would be a bad idea
What makes it unique?
- We have focused on function over form – we give you the data, you make it pretty!
The Code
We used
- ServiceStack (http://servicestack.net)
- Entity Framework (www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8363
- JQuery (http://jquery.com)
Our code is at
A complete copy of the database (!) is at
- http://ge.tt/3nOAeZI/v/0 – MSSQL backup format only, sorry.

Tim Tebow turns down an invite to be The Bachelor: Scared of hot tubs?
Lately, Tim Tebow has been rubbing shoulders with the Hollywood crowd, attending the Vanity Fair Oscar party and reportedly going on a dinner date with Taylor Swift. But while he recently signed with the William Morris talent agency, he's just turned down the opportunity to star in a hit TV show: The Bachelor. And he did so by tweet.
Yesterday, as word that he had been invited to headline the ABC reality show began resounding through the blogosphere, Tebow sent the following message:
This decision can't surprise anyone. After all, the women who try to win the designated bachelor's hand, heart and other parts often tend toward the unusual: Take Colorado favorite Madison McKinley, vampire girl, who took a bite out of the show in early 2011. And given how assiduously he's protected his famous virginity, it's mighty tough to picture him macking on random babes multiple times per episode, no matter how eagerly he poses for pics like this one (alongside Smash star Katharine McPhee).
Still, Broncos fans would no doubt have enjoyed the spectacle, since you can bet the contestants would have caught every pass Tebow threw, no matter how wobbly or off-target. If only we could say the same about his receivers.

Until 'You' Are The One Convinced - Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar
Rummaging through rumors,
You might pick worthy to gossip...
By those who have dropped them,
And you find yourself out of contol...
Without stopping them to be told.
May have just come from the ones,
Who have been used to keep detoured...
By those who have sold them and already know,
You and others sharing them to expose...
Can not be trusted.
Or considered to keep confidential,
To leave rumored gossip left where heard.
And you...
I have long acknowledged,
As one I would never tell anything personal.
Since you are quick to flap your lips,
With a giving of your opinion...
That is none of your business.
'Your comments to me I find offensive.
We've been friends for years and you know this.'
Say that again.
'You and I have been friends for many years.'
Say that until 'you' are the one convinced,
As to what friendship means to you...
And who else you whisper this nonsense.
You are right.
I have known you for years.
I've also known what I do to keep from your ears.
'I'm appalled.
What do you take me for?
A parrot? '
Not at all.
I think of you more as a mockingbird.

From [/break1]com/whitehead/whitehead38.1.html]here: (by John W. Whitehead, lewrockwell.com)
"The drug war is not to protect the children, save the babies, shield the neighborhoods, or preserve the rain forests. The drug war is a violent campaign against black men and by extension the black family, among many others."
~ Wilton D. Alston, "How Can Anyone Not Realize the War on (Some) Drugs Is Racist?" LewRockwell.com (June 24, 2011)
[i]After more than 40 years and at least $1 trillion, America's so-called "war on drugs" ranks as the longest-running, most expensive and least effective war effort by the American government. Four decades after Richard Nixon declared that "America's public enemy No. 1 in the United States is drug abuse," drug use continues unabated, the prison population has increased six fold to over two million inmates (half a million of whom are there for nonviolent drug offenses), SWAT team raids for minor drug offenses have become more common, and in the process, billions of tax dollars have been squandered.

This is the TED talk to which Rachel referred a few days ago. It is not only about drugs. It is about the racial inequalities in our justice system, which do come down to drugs in many instances.
