CES 2013: Sony Goes Diving with 5", 1080p Xperia Z "Superphone"

Xperia Z is waterproof up to 3 feet
When it comes to innovation in the mobile electronics space, Sony was once at the head of the class. Now, however, not many people think of Sony as an innovator or a maker of must-have mobile products. That honor usually is bestowed on wares from Apple and Samsung.
However, Sony is looking to get back some of its mojo back and proudly displayed its latest Xperia "superphones" at CES. The
Xperia Z and Xperia ZL
both use a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro quad-core processor running at 1.5GHz, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage (plus a microSD slot), 5" 1080p display (443 ppi), a 13MP camera with HDR video capabilities (thanks to its Exmor RS image sensor), and a front-facing 2MP camera for video conferencing.
Xperia Z
The Xperia Z takes things a step further by being waterproof at depths up to three feet for up to 30 minutes (it meets IP55 and IP57 military specifications). It features an all-glass construction that brings back "shattering" flashbacks to the iPhone 4/4S.
The Xperia ZL has a smaller footprint (LxW) than the Xperia Z, but is 0.08 inches thicker and forgoes the all-glass construction for a matte plastic finish. The Xperia ZL also includes a physical shutter button that the Xperia Z had to ditch to maintain its waterproof capabilities, and an IR blaster so that you can use the phone as a universal remote.
Although the Xperia Z is supposed to launch during Q1 2013, we don't have any information on pricing. Likewise, the Xperia ZL will have a more limited rollout and we don't know if it will even make it to the United States.

Some of my favorite behind the scenes videos we've featured on Fstoppers are of Matthew Jordan Smith. He speaks well and always articulates his lighting and setups in a way that both amateurs and pros can understand. In this video Matthew talks about exposing for a high key background, metering your subject's face for dramatic studio light, and balancing ambient backlight with a studio keylight. I'll be honest and say that I've never used a Sekonic Light Meter but I can see how useful they can be for more advanced studio lighting. I think Matthew might be the only professional I know of shooting on a Sony DSLR! I guess it goes to show that your camera brand makes little difference in producing great images. Check out more of Matthew's tutorials here.

If you like what MJS does, make sure to take a look at his Creative Live workshop this weekend (November 12-13). It's right here : http://www.creativelive.com/live
Nigel Barker also uses a Sony DSLR for your information :D
Celebrity Portrait photographer Brian Smith is also a Sony user. :-)
Nice try taking that concept out into the wedding world - you have to master your lights and master exposure compensation and flash compensation. No time for all those meter readings!!!
And then there's those who swear off EVER using a meter:
I really like Matthew's vids. There is still a tonne of information to learn from him about light but i think in today's digital world this technique is a little old school. Tethering to a computer with full lighting control on top of the camera via wireless systems is a speedier approach these days... For beauty anyway. Once everything is in place you know longer have to move.
I can't believe I haven't been able to find those whites tiles that creates reflects on the floor in the last 2 years in Canada.... Argg... :)
Doesn't have to be "kitchen tiling", I'm using opaque acrylic on top of my white backdrop. You should be able to score that in Canada if I can do it in Finland :D
I have to find the link to the video, but, Matthew talks about his choice in Sony equipment being about the lenses. Sony uses all Carl Zeis lenses for their DSLRs.In his words "It's all about the optics for me." But its true that it's all about the artist and what he or she brings to the instrument.
I agree completely with your take the feel of Sony equipment, being a Nikon user and Canon owner of camera and lenses. I've played with a friend's sony DSLR and it just felt... hollow, for lack of a better description. Despite that, I say without ego that my portraits were just as solid as if I used my Canon, not because a Sony (or Canon or Nikon, which would've felt better) was in my hands, but because the camera was used by me. But you guys have already made the gear-is-no-excuse point clear with the wonderful iphone shoot, made a while ago, and as everyone who has blessed this site with their BTS videos.
Meters are fine for certain types of photography. I am of the Joel Grimes philosophy for the most part.
"You cant rely on technical equipment to make a creative decision" and I agree! My light meter is what I see in the back of my camera and I adjust to what I see.
"But I can see the advantage when you know the ratio in your head"
I think that's the key point here, if you know what different ratios will look like in the final image.
I'm certainly not experienced enough to know that.
Matthew's work is so inspiring...
Makes me feel like an old man. I grew up shooting film, and there was no way you could do a studio shoot with strobes without metering, unless you wanted to spend a fortune on Polaroids, or you metered once, and were able to replicate the same lighting and same setting shoot after shoot...it's always interesting to read that there are (quite good) photographers who have never used a handheld light meter. I still use one when I'm shooting static studio portraits with Protofo and any other non-TTL strobe. It certainly isn't practical for action, but, as with all most other things in the "equipment" category of photography, it doesn't hurt to have experience with one.
they use Sonys because Sony pays them and hands them a camera. Those pros shoot with medium format film and digital when shooting a real shoot. sigh, i guess the brainwashing marketing really is working. i like Sekonic's motto "now more than ever", its great marketing and its their way of holding on as long as they can now that everyone can look at the back of their camera and know what the light is doing.

TALLAHASSEE — A 3-inch pocketknife cost Timothy Bunkley decades of freedom. But his persistence paid off, and he will walk out of prison any day now.
In a case that went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, Bunkley had his life sentence commuted Thursday by Gov. Charlie Crist and the Cabinet, an action rejected twice previously by the Florida Supreme Court.
The vote was 3-1, with Chief Financial Officer Sink voting no. The Parole Commission had recommended that the 54-year-old Bunkley remain in prison, where he has spent nearly 25 years.
Bunkley botched the burglary of a Western Sizzlin' restaurant in Sarasota in 1986, and when sheriff's deputies caught him, they found a common pocketknife in his pants.
Bunkley did not use the knife in the break-in and the restaurant was closed and empty at the time. The weapon elevated the crime to armed burglary, and a judge sentenced him to life.
A state law on the books for more that a century exempted a "common pocketknife" from the definition of a weapon. And in 1997, the state Supreme Court, interpreting that law for the first time, ruled that a pocketknife was not a weapon, citing a decades-old attorney general's opinion.
So the court vacated Bunkley's first-degree burglary conviction but refused to order his release. Undeterred and representing himself, Bunkley petitioned the nation's highest court, which vacated his conviction and sent the case back to the Florida Supreme Court.
In the 1970s and 1980s, Bunkley committed so many break-ins to support his drug habit that he acquired the nickname "busiest burglar."
He was convicted of 16 burglaries between 1975 and 1986, and prosecutors said at the time he admitted to 352 others.
Bunkley's former sister-in-law, Libby Webster, said Bunkley had a deformed ear and was desperate to find friends who would accept him.
"He fell into the wrong crowd, was offered drugs, became an addict and so began his life of crime," Webster said. "Should he have been punished? Of course, but not a life sentence."
"He's sick and ashamed of what he's done," Bunkley's sister, Sandi Regan, told state officials. "He knows that God has forgiven him, and he prays for the day that others would see that he's not the man who walked into that prison 25 years ago."
She said that while in prison, Bunkley got his GED, became a certified plumber and for 12 years worked as a graphic artist for PRIDE, a nonprofit that helps inmates learn job skills.
The Department of Corrections said Bunkley likely could be released as soon as today from Polk Correctional Institution near Lakeland. Bunkley denied a request to be interviewed.
Attorney General Bill McCollum was Bunkley's strongest advocate at the hearing.
"We ought to be giving him another opportunity after 25 years," McCollum told his colleagues. "Nobody was threatened. Nobody was held at knifepoint. We see a lot worse cases in here, and 25 years is a long time. I'd like to believe he has been rehabilitated."
Agriculture Commissioner Charlie Bronson noted that he often carries a pocketknife.
"I certainly wouldn't want the fact that I actually owned a pocketknife to be considered as a life sentence, should I commit any kind of a crime," Bronson said.
"Oh, God!" Bunkley's sister shrieked when Crist made the motion to set Bunkley free.
"Is that it? she asked.
"That's it," Crist said.
Sink, a Democratic candidate for governor, suggested that Bunkley's case be sent back to the Parole Commission with a request that he be considered for parole.
"I thought that was the more appropriate action to take, not to change the life sentence, but to make it life with the option of parole," Sink said.
Bunkley's sister and ex-sister-in-law left the state Capitol so overcome with joy they could barely speak.
They said Bunkley will now be able to celebrate his mother's 80th birthday in November.
"This will probably be her last chance to see her son at home," Regan said.

text: Hi everyone, I decided to upgrade the brakes on my bike to Avid Single Digit Ultimates. As it's a cyclocross bike with wide rims and tires, these seemed to be the most stop I could get. I asked ProTech to order them for me... in January. They still have not come in. In February, the shop told me that the Japanese distributor for Avid only imports twice a year and said I would have to wait one or two more months. In March, I saw a picture of the brakes I wanted on ProTech's blog. When I called and asked about them, they said the ones on the blog were not the ones I had ordered, and were much more expensive than the brakes I wanted (in fact, they were exactly the ones I had on order). They assured me that they would get them in April and said they would call me. Still no joy. Two questions: Avid is owned by SRAM, who make a ton of stuff for road and mountain bikes. Has anyone else had trouble sourcing SRAM or Avid products? Can anyone turn me on to a shop that can get these for me? I asked at Nalsima yesterday, and they said they would call somewhere and ask and will get back to me on Friday, so I'm holding out hope that they can track them down, but any help from you guys would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Daniel

Reynards Brings Mezzo Hotel Dining to Brooklyn: Review
The signage for the brand-new Wythe Hotel lights up Williamsburg in a shade of red that evokes Kenny Rogers Roasters.
If you're not from New York, it probably will be your point of entry into Brooklyn. Reynards, the ground-floor restaurant, may be your first culinary experience in King's County.
Dinner might begin with guinea hen, the leg braised into musky tenderness and paired with a puree of peas sweet as whipped cream. That's on a good night.
Another time, you might encounter an unremarkable duck leg with chanterelles, a bland and chewy beef tartare ($15) or a one-note gazpacho ($8) that delivers, in order of appearance, vinegar, acid and heartburn. Canteloupe and feta salad? It's fine, it's forgettable.
This isn't enough reason to cross the East River (or even leave another part of Brooklyn). It's safe for tourists in search of deviled eggs minus any weird beef hearts or tripe to scare away the innocent masses.
That's another way of saying Reynards will be somewhat of a disappointment after a $20 cab ride from Manhattan. More ambitious, adventurous fare can be had at Billyburg spots like Brooklyn Star and Gwynnett St.
Quirky Glory
Reynards captures all of Wythe Avenue's quirky glory, with reclaimed wood ceilings to attract the natives. Here are women in long pants and men in short shorts. There might be fiddle music playing unobtrusively in the background. Still, one expects a certain amount of comfort. The seats lack cushions and the bar stools offer no back support.
Beverage director Lee Campbell has put together a lovely list of mostly French, off-the-beaten-path wines that range from approachable (a crisp, $11 Thierry Puzelat from the Loire), to adventurous (a $14 Franck Peillot sparkling rose with plenty of fruit and yeast).
One can drink either of these with a pork pate ($10) that tastes like any other served anywhere in the city.
Champagne selections start at $78 and then jump to $110. That's not too shabby considering that $90 is often the starting point for proper bubbly around town.
Begin with seafood toast, a briny, metallic mix of clams and mussels over garlicky aioli. Or put in for rock shrimp panzanella ($15), perfumed with brown butter. That maritime salad incorrectly comes with blackberries, which you can send back to the kitchen when you're done.
No Steaks
New Yorkers jaded by the inevitable $125 ribeye or $52 strip steak will find solace at Reynards, where there wasn't a single steak on the menu on two of my three visits (a $29 sirloin might appear from time to time). Beef eaters can make do with the $16 burger, a French onion soup slider of sorts with assertively salty gruyere and a sweet pile of onion.
Reynards finds the time and money to print out its menus on a daily basis, but can't manage to update those offerings on its website. So call ahead for individual items, as they change significantly from day to day.
Order the duck breast whenever it appears, as the kitchen knows how to render out the fat and keep the gaminess in check.
A Nicoise salad ($23) has too much fennel, but the softness of olive-oil poached tuna exacts immediate forgiveness. And grilled bluefish, with its clean oils, reminds us how much we loved this local denizen before mackerel started flooding our menus.
The grilled pork chop is the game-changing entree. Expect a medium-rare cut, paired with smoky corn, hot blueberries and a slick of tangy ricottas. Finish with luscious olive oil cake and peaches.
Rating: * 1/2
The Bloomberg Questions
Price: Most dishes under $25.
Sound Level: Average, around 70-75 decibels.
Date Place: Not at the bar, where your back will ache.
Inside Tip: Excellent burger.
Special Feature: The Wythe's rooftop bar has great views.
Back on My Own Dime: Nah.
Reynards is at 80 Wythe Avenue, near North 11th Street, Williamsburg. Information: +1-718-460-8000; http://www.wythehotel.com.
What the Stars Mean: **** Incomparable food, service, ambience. *** First-class of its kind. ** Good, reliable. * Fair. (No stars) Poor

Ken Loach introduces a screening of his 1966 TV drama Cathy Come Home. The director explains that the film has a long history of being used as a starting point for debates about the issue of homelessness, and describes the furore that surrounded its original broadcast. After the screening, Loach is joined by Crisis Director Duncan Shrubsole to discuss whether we are any closer to ending homelessness in the years since the film was made.

Tutorial: Woven Button Coasters
Many crafters are creating new and unique ways to use vintage and collected buttons for both home decor and fun craft projects. I instantly thought of my mom when I saw these coasters. She has an enviable button stash ripe with various colors and sizes just waiting to be woven into useful coasters.
CraftStylish contributer Linda Permann, of Linda Made, created these gorgeous and simple woven button coasters. Linda used 81 4-hole buttons that were 3/8 inch size. She used three colors of embroidery floss to make a simple design.
To make your own button coasters:
- Weave 9 buttons together in a row as shown in the above picture.
- Repeat step 1 for all nine rows.
- Weave the rows together.
Follow Linda's button coaster tutorial for the complete instructions and detailed pictures of each step. Linda's coaster project was actually inspired by this button handbag.

These coasters are absolutely fabulous! I do find that over years I've accumulated tons of somewhat unflattering buttons, but never thought they could be turned into such a simple yet stunning home accessory. Thanks for featuring this!
Genius!!!!!!!!! I have so many friends right now who are finally settling down out of the bachelor or bachlorette lifestyle, but don't want to fall into the same fashion groups as their parents…with dull coasters with only one purpose…protecting the tabletop…these are stylish too!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY

I agree–total genius! To have such amazing creativity!

Captain MS Dhoni praised Suresh Raina for his unbeaten 89 that helped India beat England by five wickets on Wednesday and said the left- hander has learned the art of finishing matches.
"This kind of innings has a lot of value because we have been grooming him. At numbers 5, 6 and 7, depending on scenarios, more often than not, you hope that players have the talent to finish off the games," Dhoni told reporters after India clinched the series 3-1.
Dhoni said they are also looking at the prospect of promoting Raina up the batting order. " He has learned it [ to finish off games], but at the same time, he has to curb his instincts. He's a naturally aggressive player; he loves to play his strokes, but he has to curb it for the interest of the team. It'll be good if we can give him some chances to bat slightly up the order," he said.
Dhoni described Rohit Sharma, who scored a fine 83, a " God- gifted talent". " The good thing was he took it as a challenge [ to open the innings] and I am glad he scored runs because he is one of the most God- gifted talents around. It's very important that he capitalises on that. Of course, an innings like this was very much needed from him. Personally, I am very happy for him," he said.
Also read: Rohit, Raina clinch series for India
England captain Alastair Cook conceded that the 68- run fourth wicket partnership between Rohit and Raina made the difference.
"With 260, we thought we were in the game. We needed a couple of early wickets.
But I thought the partnership between Raina and Sharma was important; they got runs quickly," Cook said.
Raina was lucky to be out off a ' dead' ball when Steven Finn dislodged the bails in his delivery stride, after being warned in the previous games.
"To be fair to the umpires, they had told us that this is the rule. It can be frustrating.
I wasn't totally sure. They had told us in Kochi (ODI). I couldn't remember the conversation they had," he said.
Captain MS Dhoni praised Suresh Raina for his unbeaten 89 that helped India beat England by five wickets on Wednesday and said the left- hander has learned the art of finishing matches.

The 2002 arrival of the King of Woolworth's debut album on American shores was one of the first clues that something strange was happening on the borderlands of electronic music. Ming Star was a strange piece of work, combining the cut and paste ethos of artists such as Coldcut with a decidedly more organic feel, almost as redolent of American folk as anything produced under the banner of IDM.
Of course, astute listeners might be able to trace these developments all the way back to 1998, with the release of Boards of Canada's seminal Music Has a Right to Children. In a similar fashion to Air's Moon Safari, Music Has a Right to Children inspired a legion of copycat groups to follow in their distinctive footprints. But there was something very different about the groups who tried to follow in Boards of Canada's footsteps. Instead of merely aping sun-drenched French pop in the guise of downtempo, as Air's followers had done, Boards of Canada's many admirers were trying to pin down something slightly more anomalous, and just a little bit dangerous, and this anarchic harvest has borne increasingly potent fruit in the past few years.
King of Woolworths
US: Available as import
UK: 4 Oct 2004
For groups like Boards of Canada, in addition to Four Tet and Matmos, the vital hook comes from the dichotomy of using artificial means to replicate organic methods of composition. Instead of the burnished perfection that characterizes the majority of electronic music, these artists attempted to insert something very human and almost scattered. And as with Boards of Canada, the disconnect between human and inhuman creates sounds many an ominous note.
Rediffusion, the King of Woolworth's third album, steps away from the low-fi discord of his first two releases, and advances toward a more elegant style, heavily influenced by '60s instrumental pop. Fans of Lemon Jelly or the first two Blue States records might find a lot to like here.
The album begins with "Coccolo", a track that begins with the simple interaction of French horn and xylophone, slowly adding an organ and a bare hi-hat until a lazy beat suddenly blossoms underneath. It's a song that reminds the listener of quiet spring days spent frolicking in fields of tall grass and napping in the shade of a tall tree. It soon becomes obvious that the goal of Rediffusion is not to upset but to soothe. We're a long way from Ming Star's unsettling and angry "Stalker Song".
"Big Sur" is one of the most obvious BoC swipes I've ever heard—from the narration straight out of a '60s nature film to the coruscating minor-key synth chords to the deceptively placid beats, it could easily pass for BoC among less discriminating listeners. It's not a bad song, as such, but it tips its hat a bit too broadly for comfort. "Yellow World" begins with a bit of crazy English narration that could easily have been leftover from the Orb's recent recording sessions, and builds slowly from a simple breakbeat, with ominous bass noise and echoing theramin flourishes throughout.
"Ameublement" is one of the album's best tracks, a very simple piece built atop a repeating melodic synthesizer sample. There are minimal 808 samba beats underneath, along with faint harp flourishes that fade in and out of your earphones. Its striking in its minimalism, and moreso for the fact that it is very effective. "Music for Schools" is a decidedly melancholy composition, with an odd little organ sample laid across a stuttering, deliberate beat.
"Crazy Lions" presents the listener with an alternate reality wherein Link Wray jammed with Orbital. "Windrush"—at almost eight minutes—is the album's climax, a gently escalating synthesizer-led instrumental in the vein of Meddle-era Pink Floyd.
The deciding mood for the remainder of the album is blissful relaxation. Some of these tracks, like "The Loner" and "Stimulus Progression", could have been cribbed wholesale from any number of '60s movie soundtracks, full as they are with experimental synth textures and loping lounge beats. "Divertissements" is a mournful organ-driven mood exercise that bears resemblance to something Death in Vegas could have recorded around the time of The Contino Sessions.
There's nothing at all wrong with Rediffusion, and it is actually quite a pleasant album, perfect for a lazy summers day. But there's nothing terribly original here, and there are enough bits of blatant theft that even the casual electronic music fan should be able to have great fun playing "spot that swipe".

Butte County's dry weather will no doubt affect Lake Oroville. But it will be business as usual at Lime Saddle Marina, at least for now, said the marina's General Manager John Prieto.
"Currently, we still anticipate some inflow, although we expect the pool to be not quite as full as previous years," Prieto said.
He knows there won't be any snowpack, but is still gearing up for a regular summer. He said the season got off to a good start at the end of November and beginning of December.
"If you'll remember, last Nov. 29 the rain started," he said. "We started to have pretty good rains by Dec. 1. We had 122,500 cubic feet per second coming in three days later."
Those rains caused the boat ramp to be submerged under water at a rate of about one foot every nine minutes, Prieto said. He said if some late season rains come in, they will be able to hold the water for late summer recreation, noting that the lake elevation can change drastically from one day to the next.
"In California, (rainfall) fluctuates so radically from one season to the next as far as the winter season is concerned," he said, noting that two years ago, March, April and May brought in a lot of rain that filled the lake.
The water collected from earlier rains tends to get released due to the state water project, he said. Prieto said he knows there's a drought, but he still has to be ready for when the season kicks off.
"We'll take what's left in the pools as we go through the summer," he said.
In the chain of command, the Lime Saddle Marina answers to the California Department of Parks and Recreation, who in turn answers to the California Department of Water Resources, neither of which was available for comment by press time.
Prieta said the departments are discussing the lack of moisture and its effect on recreation at the marina and throughout the state in general. He said the agencies will release a report about their findings sometime in the near future, but he didn't know when. In addition to the low lake levels, Prieta said the warm weather makes for more active wildlife.
"Rumor has it, because of the lack of cold weather, the bears aren't hibernating. We look at the mud to see if there are any tracks," he said.
While they haven't spotted any bear tracks, he said there are some bald eagles flying around.
"A pair with a juvenile are up there flying right now," he said.
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife also was not available for comment by press time.
In the meantime, Prieto is hoping for some wet weather as summer season nears. According to AccuWeather, the next foreseeable precipitation will hit the Ridge toward the end of January.
"We're still in business," Prieto said. "The boat launch ramp is temporarily closed, but the marina is still open."

Fanfare Contributor Bio
Barry Brenesal
I first began collecting classical recordings at the age of 11, and can still remember finding the textures of Schumann's "Rhenish" Symphony too confusing and muddy. (I did, however, enjoy Jussi Björling singing "O paradiso.") Some time later I began working in public radio management and production, staying at that for 17 years. I then became a freelance writer for various publications. Almost 50 years later, I find more to like in the "Rhenish," and I still relish that aria with Björling, though my tastes have broadened a bit over the intervening period. I no longer play Irish folk music or try to push asthmatic breath through a soprano recorder in a vain attempt to perform Baroque sonatas. But I have been known occasionally to direct Gilbert and Sullivan revivals, and to write incidental music for plays.

In 1973, S.F. Brownrigg directed a low-budget horror flick called Don't Look in the Basement, which oftentimes hit theaters alongside Last House on the Left, on a double-bill. Now 40 years later, Browrigg's son Anthony is intent on continuing the story, and he needs your help to do so.
The script for Don't Look in the Basement: Part 2 has been completed, and Anthony Browrigg has taken to Indiegogo to raise the funds needed to cover shooting expenses, which include blood and makeup effects. Brownrigg says he's already got $5,000 to work with, and only needs another $30,000 before the cameras can start rolling.
The film will pick up after the events of Don't Look in the Basement, following the character of Sam around 40 years after he and his fellow asylum inmates ran amok. Sam is moved to a new asylum, where strange things begin happening once more.
Brownrigg wants to film the sequel in the same location as the original, and original star Camilla Carr has agreed to a cameo.
If any of this interests you, you can head over to the Don't Look in the Basement: Part 2 Indiegogo page, where you can donate and score yourself some cool perks!

Live to 110
Want to live to 110? The following lessons emphasize making changes to your environment that will influence your habits. The secret to living longer involves creating the right surroundings and following specific lifestyle habits shared by the world's longest-lived people.
We will then take some lessons from countries with the longest-lived people in the world.
Move Naturally – Gain 4 Years
1. Move
The world's longest-lived people don't pump iron, run marathons or join gyms. Instead, they live in environments that constantly nudge them into moving without thinking about it. They live in places where they can walk to the store, to their friend's house or places of worship, their houses have stairs, they have gardens in their yards.
Consider making things a little inconvenient. Make that extra trip up or down the stairs instead of loading things at the top or bottom to take up later, walk to your airport gate instead of taking the moving walkway, park far from the entrance, walk a dog, do your own yard and house work, get rid of some the time-saving electronics and power equipment that have "simplified" your life.
Right Outlook – Gain 4 Years
2. Purpose Driven Life
Knowing your sense of purpose is worth up to seven years of extra life expectancy. The Okinawans call it "ikigai" and the Nicoyans call it "plan de vida;" for both it translates to "why I wake up in the morning." Do an internal inventory. Be able to articulate your values, passions, gifts and talents. What are the things you like to do and the things you don't? Then incorporate ways to put your skills into action.
3. Manage Stress
Even people in the longest-lived cultures experience stress. Stress leading to chronic inflammation is associated with every major age-related disease. What the world's longest-lived people have that we don't are routines to shed that stress. Okinawans take a few moments each day to remember their ancestors, Adventists pray, Ikarians take a nap and Sardinians do happy hour. Find a stress shedding strategy that works for you and make it routine.
Eat Wisely – Gain 8 Years
4. 80% Rule
Marketers tell us we can eat our way to health. America has eaten its way well beyond health. Our strategy focuses on taking things out — instead of putting more things in — our diet. "Hara hachi bu" – the Okianawan, 2500-year old Confucian mantra said before meals reminds them to stop eating when their stomach is 80 percent full. The 20% gap between not being hungry and feeling full could be the difference between losing weight or gaining it. Serve food at the table, store leftovers, then sit down to enjoy the meal. Replace your big dishes with 10" plates. Remove TV's from the kitchen. People in the longest-lived cultures eat their smallest meal in the late afternoon or early evening and then they don't eat any more the rest of the day.
5. Plant Slant
Go ahead and eat meat if you want. But try to only eat the leanest, finest, organic, grass-fed meat you can afford. If you can't eat this type of meat, skip it. Conventionally raised meats with hormones, antibiotics, GMO feed, and full of omega 6 fats, cause inflammation and contribute to all the diseases of western affluence. Organic, grass-fed meats are healthful, rich in omega-3 fats. Try to limit it to a portion the size of a deck of cards per meal. The longest-lived people eat mainly fish. Eat only wild fish and seafood. Farm-raised fish have the same problems as conventional factory farmed meats. Beans, including fava, black, and lentils are the cornerstone of most centenarian diets. Try to eat two pounds of vegetables a day. Snacking on nuts–about a handful a day– is associated with an extra 2-3 years of life expectancy.
6. Wine @ 5
Moderate drinkers outlive non-drinkers. The trick is to drink 1 drink per day, with friends and/or with food. Any more negates the health benefits of one drink. And no, you can't save up all week and have 14 drinks on Saturday.
Connect – Gain 4 Years
7. Belong
Most centenarians belong to a faith-based community. It doesn't matter if you're Christian, Buddhist, Muslim, Jewish or some other religion that meets as a community. Research shows that attending faith-based services four times per month will add 4-14 years of life expectancy. Not raised in an organized religion? You can attend a self-realization temple or join a meditation or yoga class. Yoga is quite spiritual.
8. Loved Ones First
Successful centenarians in the long-lived cultures put their families first. This means keeping your aging parents and grandparents near by or in your home. This lowers disease and mortality rates of children in the home too. Work on being in a positive, committed relationship (which can add up to 3 years of life expectancy) and invest in your children with time and love. They'll be more likely to care for you when the time comes.
9. Right Tribe
The world's longest lived people chose–or were born into–social circles that support healthy behaviors. Okinawans created "moais"–groups of five friends that commit to each other for life. Research from the US Framingham Studies show that smoking, obesity, happiness, and even loneliness is contagious. Assessing who you hang out with, and then proactively surrounding yourself with the right friends, will do more to add years to your life than just about anything else.
Healthiest Countries
The people in the following countries live well into their nineties and often break the hundred year mark. Their existence is healthy but the underlying reasons are often cultural. In fact, it's not just that these individuals take care of themselves; it's a countrywide phenomenon that's based on lifestyle choices. Why are certain countries home to the world's happiest, healthiest people on Earth? What do they eat What daily habits are different from other societies? I set out to answer these questions and along the way I found some striking similarities between these fit nations, spread far and wide across the globe.
1. Iceland
Due to a smaller population, Iceland is one of the least polluted countries in the world. But clean air isn't the only reason Icelanders are so healthy; they also like to hit the gym. Due to chilly weather much of the year, Icelanders workout to beat the winter blues. The country enjoys one of the highest life expectancies (72 for men and 74 for women). It also has one of the lowest infant mortality rates at 2 deaths per 1,000 babies. Forbes Magazine ranked it the healthiest country in the world.
2. Japan
The World Health Organization (WHO) calculated the countries where people live to full health the longest and Japan came out on top with 74.5 years. Much of this is due to diet. They are the largest consumers of fish, seaweed, and green tea in the world. When they are about 80 percent full, they stop and wait for about 10 minutes, then decide whether to keep going. And most times, they are full so they don't need to keep eating more.
3. Sweden
Government policies promote a healthy way of life including positive work/life balance. The population also loves to play outside with their stunning landscape full of rolling hills, mountains, and glacial lakes. Additionally, because of their location they eat a diet that's high in fish and omega fatty acids. Their cooking methods also reflect that of a healthy population. Rather than using an abundance of oil, they poach, ferment, smoke, and dry their foods.
4. Okinawa
Okinawa is a Prefecture or sub national jurisdiction of Japan. However, it's worth mentioning it separately because it's widely believed to have the healthiest people on Earth. According to the Okinawa Centenarian Study, centenarian ratios may be the world's highest at approximately 50 per 100,000 people. The country is also home to many super centenarians, people who reach the age of 110 years old. Okinawans attribute their not only long, but healthy, happy lives to eating tons of local fruits and vegetables, as well as large quantities seaweed. Their lives also include rigorous daily activity and relatively low stress.
5. New Zealand
Similar to Iceland, a lower population and lack of pollution make New Zealand a great place to call home. New Zealanders love outdoor activities like hiking, camping, and fishing. All and all it's just an easier place to embrace a fit lifestyle. No matter where you live you're not but a 90-minute drive from the ocean.
"Plus there's an abundance of healthy whole foods. We eat fresh seafood (we often catch it ourselves) and local organic fruits and vegetables. Everyone grows something here and neighbors all put out bags for purchase by anyone. We get fresh lettuce from the kids' school, avocados from our tree, and kiwis, apples and plums from our neighbors," says Jill Chalmers, who moved to New Zealand with her Kiwi husband.
6. Sardinia
Sardinia is an autonomous region of Italy that's home to a large population of centenarians. There's a real sense of community in Sardinia. People are close-knit and the elderly often live with their families. The men are often shepherds, walking about 5 miles per day and the diet consists of "whole grain flatbread, fava beans, tomatoes, greens, garlic, various fruits, olive oil and pecorino cheese from grass-fed sheep (high in Omega 3)."
7. Finland
According to Forbes Magazine, Finland was plagued with one of the highest death rates from heart disease just 30 years ago. As a result, the nation has worked vigorously to encourage a healthy lifestyle among its people. Smoking has been reduced significantly and fruit and vegetable intake has more than doubled. As a nation, the Fins committed to change and turned their health around. So can you.

Area Class A, B teams earn berths to state golf tourneys
Mitchell's golf courses were filled with high school region golf tournaments Tuesday, following a rainy Monday.
After battling windy conditions, Parkston swept the team and individual competitions at the Region 3A girls tournament, which was originally scheduled for Monday, at Lakeview Golf Course in Mitchell.
"I thought the course was in great shape after the rain," Parkston coach Tyler Hockett said. "I thought we shot a little higher than I would expect, but I'm excited about how our girls can shoot. It was a long day for everybody but we have to switch gears into state tournament mode."
The Trojans totaled 359 to win the region, leading Mobridge-Pollock with 401 and Winner with 428. All three teams and 21 individuals earned berths to the Class A state tournament, which is Monday and Tuesday in Spearfish.
Sydney Bormann won the individual crown after carding an 80. Parkston had four golfers finish in the top six. Sydney Weber was second (87), Sierra Stands finished fourth (94) and Jayden Bormann took sixth (98).
Hockett said his team must work on its short game in the days leading up to the state tournament.
"We need to get better at our putting," he said. "We left a lot of strokes on the green."
Mobridge-Pollock's Chelsy Hoffman finished third with a 92 and Chamberlain's Brigitte Byrd finished fifth with a 95.
Howard, Wessington Springs earn berths in Region 2B meets The Howard and Wessington Springs golf teams earned state tournament berths at the Region 2B girls and boys golf tournaments Tuesday at Lakeview Golf Course and Wild Oak Golf Club in Mitchell.
The Class B state tournaments kick off Monday at both of Mitchell's courses, with the girls playing at Lakeview and the boys at Wild Oak.
On the girls side, the Tigers took second with a 305 behind Deubrook, which finished with a 305. The Spartans, who only had one girl on the team last year and couldn't qualify as a team, were third with a 353. The top three teams in the region qualify for the state tournament.
Howard's Kelsey Dawson, a junior, won the individual title with a 91, edging Deubrook's Kayla Ovall (94). Howard's Taylor Noid finished fourth with a 97, and Wessington Springs' top finisher was Sheyanne Brodkorb with a 100.
"Kelsey has been playing varsity golf since she was a seventh-grader, so she's a veteran," Howard girls and boys coach Al Wiese said. "She knows what to do and has been there before. I was proud of all of our kids today."
For the boys, Deubrook carded a 264 to win the event and had the individual champion as Riley Hanson claimed the title with an 80. Wessington Springs and Howard each totaled 275 to tie for second.
"They played pretty well," Wessington Springs girls and boys golf coach Ray Ginsbach said. "The weather conditions were tough and scores were high, but that's the way it's going to be when you have a day like this."
Wessington Springs' Austin Messmer finished third with an 87 and Jevon Hohn was fourth with an 89. Howard's Drew Wiese finished fifth with an 89, while David Weidler was sixth with a 92.

A Bucks County jury has found an Allentown man guilty of physically abusing a 7-week-old Hilltown boy last year while living with the child's mother.
Michael Dasburg, 28, was sentenced to 10 to 24 years in a state prison. Bucks County Judge Wallace Bateman said the child's injuries — 15 fractured bones — earned Dasburg a place behind bars.

I had a major hernia surgery in 10/08. I had 3 major hernias and multiple minor hernias in scar tissue. My surgeon said, "You had the cadilac of all hernia surgeries." That was fine, but now I have this huge mass of sagging stomach skin. I don't feel it's "cosmetic surgery" to get this removed. I cannot wear my clothes because of this extra skin. When my hernias were fixed, the doctor did tighten the top of my abdomen, but left the big sagging mess. What should I do? Is there any hope for me that insurance will pay for this?
What to Do with Excess Skin After Hernia Repair?
Doctor Answers 2
Excess skin after hernia repair
Although I am not sure why you have had the problems you have had, you can of course have your implants removed. Without seeing you it is difficult for me to tell you what you might look like afterward. It is highly probable that the problems you are having are not related to the implants, but it is your body.
How to get rid of excess skin after a hernia repair
Excess skin after a hernia can be removed with either a tummy tuck, a panniculectomy, or reverse abdominoplasty. Whatever procedure is required depends on how much skin is remaining and where it is. The unfortunate thing is that insurance will most likely deny paying for anything because it will be considered cosmetic. However, it may be worth a try. Have your plastic surgeon send in a letter and pictures to support your case. If it's still denied, you could explore financing options or check our your local plastic surgery residency office...their cosmetic prices are usually the lowest in town.

Book by Ram Gopal Varma, 'Naa Istam' was released last year and was an immense success instantly. Keeping that in mind, RGV's self-proclaimed fan and follower, Sira Sri is now coming out with another book tilted 'Vodka with Varma'.
Just as the name suggests and true to the reputation that the publicity conscious director enjoys, this book is likely to give a 'kick' to all the readers with its unusual content and some out-of-the-box information about the director.
To spice it up the author has named the chapters as Soda, Pegs, Munchings etc. Interestinly, RGV is very excited about this book and is waiting to lay hands on it. He says that he has not seen the drafts or any versions of the book. The author has come out with this work all by himself.

The Enemy Speaks – Labeling of Biotech Foods is Unnecessary and Unconstitutional
One of our affiliates, and a great partner in the fight for sustainable food, is the Organic Consumer's Association.
Last week they shared this article, originally from Forbes, on why labeling genetically modified and other biotech foods is a bad idea.
If you're a regular visitor here, we're sure you'll disagree as vehemently as we do on this important issue. But it's always good to know what the enemy is up to, how they frame their arguments, and how their worldview differs from your own.
In that spirit, enjoy debating and rebutting this inflammatory screed by Mr. Miller, our new favorite shill for Monsanto, et. al!
- By Henry Miller
Forbes, December 8, 2011

There are good reasons that such "tinkering at the DNA level" need not be revealed on labels. Federal regulation requires that food labels be truthful and not misleading and prohibits label statements that could be misunderstood, even if they are strictly accurate. For example, although a "cholesterol-free" label on a certain variety or batch of fresh spinach would be accurate, it transgresses the FDA's rules because it could be interpreted as implying that spinach usually contains cholesterol, which it does not.
Following long-standing precedents in food regulation, the FDA requires labeling only to indicate that a new food raises questions of safety, nutrition or proper usage. But instead of educating or serving a legitimate consumers' "need to know" certain information, mandatory labels on gene-spliced food would imply a warning.
The FDA's approach to labeling has been upheld both directly and indirectly by various federal court decisions that have consistently struck down mandatory labeling not supported by data. In the early 1990s, a group of Wisconsin consumers sued the FDA, arguing that the agency's decision not to require the labeling of dairy products from cows treated with a gene-spliced protein called bovine somatotropin, or bST, allowed those products to be labeled in a false and misleading manner. (In other words, the plaintiffs wanted the same sort of mandatory labeling advocated by Maisto.) However, because the plaintiffs failed to demonstrate any material difference between milk from treated and untreated cows the federal court agreed with the FDA, finding that "it would be misbranding to label the product as different, even if consumers misperceived the product as different."
If you're more interested in learning about what we here at Chelsea Green think about the issue, peruse our selection of books by Jeffrey Smith, including Seeds of Deception: Exposing Industry and Government Lies About the Safety of the Genetically Engineered Foods You're Eating. You might also enjoy the documentary, The World According to Monsanto.

The NOAA Center for Tsunami Research modeled tsunami inundation from a great Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake for the coastal communities of Long Beach and Ocean Shores, Washington. A high-resolution numerical model was used to estimate tsunami propagation and inundation along the outer coast of southwest Washington.
The tsunami source is based on prior work by Walsh et al., (2000) that simulates a great Mw 9.1 earthquake with an asperity off the coast of northern Washington. Details of this scenario and the model results are provided in Venturato et al., 2007. These animations depict wave propagation and inundation at each location.

Madonna and her children were greeted with song and dance by hundreds of orphans on Wednesday, when they visited an orphanage in Malawi.
The pop star said she was happy to be back at the Home of Hope orphanage, where she adopted her son David Banda, in the western district of Mchinji near the border with Zambia.
"I'm happy that David is back to see his brothers and sisters," she said.
David, now 8, was accompanied by his sister Mercy James, who is 8 and also adopted from Malawi, and their siblings, Rocco and Lourdes.
Madonna adopted David in 2006. On Wednesday he was taken to his former crib, which has been preserved in his memory.
It wasn't known if the family would also visit the Kondanani Children's Village, where Madonna adopted Mercy in 2009 after a protracted court battle.
Madonna and her children will visit a pediatrics hospital in Blantyre on Thursday, and another orphanage Friday.
The singer arrived Monday in Malawi to visit projects she has helped with. Madonna initially planned to build a $15 million 500-bed Raising Malawi Academy for girls, before changing plans to help fund several community schools.
Madonna is also parting ways with an abstract French painting she's owned for more than 20 years to support educating girls in Afghanistan, Pakistan and other countries. Fernand Leger's "Three Women at the Red Table" is expected to bring in $5-7 million when it's offered May 7 at Sotheby's auction house, with all proceeds benefiting the Ray of Light Foundation. The pop star said in a statement that she wants "to trade something valuable for something invaluable" in countries where female education is rare or nonexistent.

International Sports Sciences Association (ISSA) Personal Training Certification
ISSA (International Sports Sciences Association) personal training certifications are recognized world-wide and are given a very high level of respect.Fitness trainers, athletic trainers, aerobic instructors and medical professionals in every field of health care covet the ISSA personal trainer certifications.

Certain aspects of the ISSA certifications for personal training are also taught in numerous colleges and universities around the world.
In addition to the tens of thousands of personal trainers world-wide
that hold ISSA certifications for personal training hundreds of
physicians, chiropractors, coaches, physical therapists, athletic
trainers, and health & fitness professionals have various ISSA
certifications for personal training.
Along with your ISSA personal trainer certifications course you also get training and information on how to open and run your own personal training business. This is an important and very valuable extra benefit because this is the area where you can earn a huge personal trainer salary. Some gyms will only pay you $10 an hour or so but if you have your own personal training business you can charge anywhere from $75 to $500 per session.Perhaps one of the biggest benefits of the ISSA personal trainer certifications is that Charles Staley, B.Sc., MSS is the Vice President of Program Development.

majority of personal training certifications offered by NESTA are
inexpensive when compared to others. NESTA also offers an extremely
large number of diverse personal
training certifications. Chances are that if you are looking for very
specific personal training certifications you'll find it with NESTA.
Personal trainer organizations like NESTA do follow a code of ethics

you on your way after you pay a large certification fee.
American Fitness Professionals & Associates (AFPA) Personal Training Certification
AFPA (American Fitness Professionals & Associates) personal training certification is a practical and current personal training certifications course that is based on current exercise science, sports medicine and nutrition guidelines. The AFPA has 17 different personal training certifications in the main fields of personal training. This helps you determine what certification program is the most appropriate for your needs and goals.
While the AFPA personal training certification does not require any pre-requisites they do suggest that it would be to your benefit to have some education in the field of human anatomy. Some of their more specialized personal trainer certifications do require that you have a minimum of a 400 documented hours of one-on-one personal training experience.
The AFPA personal training certification also provides many "continuing education credits" for many of the better personal training certifications courses. This is one aspect that all of the top personal training certifications require to keep training certifications current. In order to keep your personal trainer certifications up to date, in both knowledge and training ability, you must maintain current certification by submitting "continuing education credits".
Usually your initial personal training certification is valid for approximately one or two years. You then need to obtain extra credits during this two-year period and submit them in order to prove that you are up to date in the personal trainer industry and to retain your personal training certification. The AFPA personal training certification makes this easy regardless of what personal trainer certifications you currently hold.

Second Generation
2. James WOOD Sr. was born about 1780.2 He died after 1831 at the age of 51 in Madison County, Kentucky.2
Please note that it is all over the Internet, particularly on WorldConnect and in the trees at Ancestry.com, that this man was a son of a Michael Woods & Hannah Wallace of Albemarle, VA. He has been confabulated with a different James WOODS who lived in Madison Co KY and was married three times and never had a son named Dudley as cited in the following will. Not only is the research faulty - as good research does indicate that Michael & Hannah never even had a son named James, but Y-DNA has shown that this James WOODS who married Mary "Polly" Hampton and at least two other ladies, and also lived in Madison Co KY at the same as James WOOD cannot possibly have been a son of Michael Woods of Albemarle, Virginia.
[I have seen this man's full name as James Warren Wood, Sr. but I doubt that his middle name was "Warren". Few men of his generation had a middle name. More likely his son, James Warren Wood was occasionally called James Wood Jr. to distinguish him from his father and someone decided they both had the middle name.]
1810 Census. Printed p.237. Madison Co KY: James Wood: 1m under 10; 1m 26-45. 1f 10-16, 1f 16-26, 1f over 45.
1820 Madison Co KY
A James Wood Senr in Madison Co, KY 1830:
There were two men indexed as James Wood in Clark Co in 1830 - one, a single man, age 20-30, is I believe, James Mood, not James Wood. The other listed as James Wood, Esq.
In 1840 - there was still a James Wood in Clark Co, but apparently a younger man: 1m under 5, 1m 5-10, 1m 30-40. 1f 30-40. The age is close to that of James Warren Wood - but he would have a son and two daughters in his household in 1840.
James did not state his other children. Two daughters - Lucinda & Charlotte - were placed in his family but their marriage records in Madison Co, KY show that their father was Hezekiah "Hazzard" Wood and they were not daughters of James at all.
James WOOD Sr. was married.
James WOOD Sr. had the following children:

Happy Halloween and Guy Fawkes in North Devon
PUBLISHED: 14:11 08 November 2013 | UPDATED: 14:14 08 November 2013
Both evenings pass off quietly with almost no trouble, say police.
FEW tricks and plenty of treats were in store for North Devon's police on Halloween and Bonfire Night as both passed by quietly.
Both nights have been notorious in the past for anti social behaviour, with vulnerable residents worried about irresponsible trick or treaters and people being reckless with fireworks.
But on October 31, police received only three calls 'Halloween related' across the entire North Devon sector – one involving a firework in South Molton, another of a firework thrown in Bideford and a report of anti social behaviour from youths in Bideford.
Police in North Devon had once again promoted their 'Sorry, No Trick, No Treat, No Thanks' campaign to enable people who didn't wish to be bothered to display a poster on their door or windows.
On November 5, there was only one report of misuse of fireworks, but when police were called to Torrington Commons expecting a crowd of youths, it turned out to be adults acting responsibly and doing nothing wrong.
No incidents were reported in Barnstaple or Ilfracombe on either night.
"Halloween is a night that particularly vulnerable people are fearful of and will even switch their lights off as they are frightened of being called upon," said Inspector Roger Bartlett.
"But it was a really quiet night from a police perspective, which is very pleasing, and only minor reports of anti social behaviour, indicating that if people were out trick or treating they were doing it in a very sensible way."

The 2013 Vogel Alcove Arts Performance Event on April 22 will star Canadian musician, singer and songwriter Sarah McLachlan, who has sold more than 40 million recordings worldwide.
During her two-decade career, every one of McLachlan's studio and live albums has been certified gold, platinum or multi-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. With hit songs such as "I Will Remember You," "Building a Mystery" and "Angel," five of her albums have reached the Billboard Top 15.
McLachlan's music has been recognized in Canada and the United States, and she has won eight Juno Awards and three Grammys.
Karen Hughes, president and CEO of Vogel Alcove, said that "over the past 25 years, Vogel Alcove has provided free quality child development services for more than 13,000 homeless children 6 weeks to 5 years old, Dallas' youngest victims of poverty.
"Vogel Alcove is the only free, comprehensive early childhood education program in the city of Dallas whose primary focus is to provide free child care, counseling and case management for children and their families."
The agency gets referrals from 22 affiliate programs, including homeless shelters, domestic violence shelters and transitional housing programs.
The April performance at the Meyerson Symphony Center will be the 22nd annual concert to raise money for Vogel Alcove. It's the agency's largest fundraising event of the year, and McLachlan joins an impressive list of stars who have performed at the concert, including Sheryl Crow, Vince Gill, Lyle Lovett, Kenny Loggins, Michael Bolton, Liza Minnelli, Johnny Mathis, Tony Bennett, Marvin Hamlisch, Ray Charles and Itzhak Perlman.
Diane and Joel Allison, Christy and Paul Eisman, and Marisa and Peter Knag are the 2013 event co-chairs. Joel Allison is president and CEO of Baylor Health Care System. Paul Eisman is president and CEO of Alon USA, and Peter Knag is managing director for corporate development at AT&T Inc.
"Sarah McLachlan has not only a crystal clear voice but also a generous heart," Hughes said. "She founded Lilith Fair, the first all-female traveling music festival attended by 2 million people during the summers of 1997, 1998 and 1999. The tour raised more than $7 million for charities."
In 2003, the singer also founded the Sarah McLachlan Music Outreach Program to provide free music classes in inner-city schools whose music programs were reduced or abolished by budget cuts.
Tickets are $50 to $175 and are on sale through the AT&T Performing Arts Center box office at attpac.org or 214-880-0202 Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tickets are nonrefundable.
Sponsor seats begin at $500. For more information on sponsorship packages, call 214-368-8686.

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yasuhisa Shiozaki and Health, Labor and Welfare Minister Hakuo Yanagisawa will forgo their summer bonuses as Cabinet ministers to take responsibility for the pension record fiasco, it was announced Monday.
The move is apparently aimed at easing public anger over the scandal involving the Social Insurance Agency ahead of the House of Councilors election next month.
They will still take their bonuses as Diet members.
According to Shiozaki, Abe will not accept the 2.34 million yen bonus he is due as prime minister. Abe had earlier announced he would forgo 1.61 million yen of the total as part of the government's administrative reform efforts.
He will still get roughly 3 million yen as a member of the House of Representatives. Lawmakers receive a bonus in both summer and winter.
Shiozaki will give up the 940,000 yen summer bonus for his Cabinet post, while Yanagisawa will forgo 896,000 yen. Both will still accept their lawmaker bonuses.
Revelations that the Social Insurance Agency mishandled 50 million pension premium records has not only outraged the public but also placed Abe in a difficult position ahead of the July 29 election, in which he is forecast to face an uphill battle in maintaining the ruling coalition's majority in the Upper House.
"People are really angry at the SIA's handling of the pension-record problem. Given the situation, I judged that I need to take responsibility," Abe told reporters later in the day.
SIA chief Kiyose Murase said he will give up the entire amount of his summer bonus, or about 2.7 million yen, while urging all agency staff and former employees to forgo half their summer bonuses.
