Golf courses adjust to harsher economics and changing demographics
Of all the cultural phenomena that marked the bubble era of 1980s Japan, none was more economically significant than the rise of golf. Despite its relatively small land area, Japan boasts the third largest number of golf courses in the world — 2,442 as of 2008, which accounts for 7 percent of the earth's total (the U.S., number one, has 50 percent, with the U.K. a distant second with 8 percent).
The majority of these courses were built before 1990, when land prices were at their highest. However, what really demonstrated the profligacy of the time wasn't so much the insane number of courses in a country where 70 percent of the land is mountainous, but the practice of investing in golf memberships. The "bubble," of course, refers to the artificially high valuation of real estate and securities during this time, a situation that extended to almost anything that attracted investment, including golf memberships, which could be brokered as if they were stocks or bonds. Many people who had no interest at all in golf as a pastime bought golf club memberships simply as an investment.
As with all investments made during a bubble period, people who bought them got burned. According to the Kanto Golf Membership Trading Industry Association, the average price of a golf club membership in the seven prefectures that make up the greater metropolitan area in and around Tokyo rose from ¥5 million in 1980 to almost ¥50 million in 1990 and then dropped to ¥2.5 million in 2003. The price spiked briefly in 2006 at ¥5 million before plummeting to ¥1.45 in early 2012. However, it has risen slightly since then and is now around ¥1.8 million.

"He makes me laugh for real like this," Drew said, referring to Justin's "nauseate America" comment. "We've been through like, tough moments; I just thought maybe it would seem more genuine if you believed that the people were going through it as opposed to two actors acting it.
"We are actors and we are playing characters, but maybe there's, you know, some shred of the chemistry or the emotion or the joy that is really authentic and I though that was a very unique situation," Drew added.

Its my first post, so i would like to say Hello to Java Community. I'am absolutely new in programming and because of my young age(15) i have many problems to understand some aspects of it(especially advanced maths, logical thinking etc.). Nevertheless i think with an appropriate determination I can achieve success in this field of science. Lastly - I live in Poland thereby I could have sometimes problems with correct and "inteligent" english, but I am convinced that with your help my knowledge will rise up.
Coming to the point. Last time i tried to write a simple program which should find the largest prime factor of the number 600851475143.
Code :
import java.util.Arrays; import java.math.BigInteger; public class PrimeFactor { public static void main(String[] args) { BigInteger[] Array = new BigInteger[i]; BigInteger number = new BigInteger("600851475143"); BigInteger number2 = new BigInteger("0"); BigInteger number3 = new BigInteger("0"); BigInteger PrimeFactor = new BigInteger ("0"); boolean select; int i = 0; while(PrimeFactor < number){ PrimeFactor++; i++; if(number%PrimeFactor == 0){ PrimeFactor = Array[i]; } } BigInteger largest = new BigInteger(); largest = Array[0]; for(int x=1; x<Array.length; x++) largest = max(Array[x],largest); System.out.println(largest); } }
I know that the program has many trivial errors( like there- "<" could not be used for integer) but i dont know what to use instead of it..Code :
while(PrimeFactor < number){
I will be grateful for your help.

Egg Move
Egg Moves are moves most passed down from a Pokémon breeding pair to their offspring. This can happen in one of four different ways.
If both parents know one or more moves that their offspring could learn by leveling up, the offspring will have that move.
If the male Pokémon knows a TM or HM move that the offspring can learn, the offspring will have that move. For example, if a male Dragonite knowing Outrage is bred with a female Charizard, the resulting Charmander will know Outrage.
All offspring Pokémon, in the absence of passed-down moves, will know at least one move when hatched, labeled in their level up move list as either "Start" or "--" of a level number. If these moves, together with the other egg moves obtained in the above ways, number more than four, then the moves on top of their level up move list (with "Start" or "--") will be the ones that do not show up.
Most online Pokédex list moves from the third category as a Pokémon's Egg Moves. Before breeding a Pokémon, one must consider whether or not to use any Egg Moves in that Pokémon's moveset, and breed accordingly. To learn more than one egg moves, since they are only passed on by the father, only a father Pokémon in the appropriate Egg Group that can legitimately have all of the moves in one moveset can be used. This makes certain combinations of Egg Moves impossible for certain Pokémon. An example would include something like Tentacruel having both Rapid Spin and Mirror Coat as available egg moves but no Pokémon in the Water 3 Egg Group can learn both moves so Tentacruel can't use both in the same moveset.
Sometimes to get a certain moveset onto a Pokémon, such as a Gible with Outrage and Thrash several steps must be taken. This is called chain breeding.
Exceptions Certain Pokémon, like Magikarp and Beldum, cannot inherit any egg moves and start with only Splash and Take Down, respectively.
When Mudkip is breeded when Swampert knows waterfall and surf, Mudkip will have these moves along with the other moves when it starts at its first level.
Pichu can "inherit" Volt Tackle if the female Pikachu or Raichu of the breeding pair holds the Light Ball.
Breeding for Egg Moves[edit | edit source]
If a person wishes to put in a certain amount of effort into breeding it is possible to breed a Tyrogue inheriting moves from each of its evolved forms (Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan, & Hitmontop) by carefully breeding of several Tyrogue's. One starts by either evolving a Tyrogue into one of if evolutions (unless you already have one of its evolutions use it) and then have it learn any of that form's moves that Tyrogue can inherit as an Egg Move (for example if it a Hitmonlee one can teach it Hi Jump Kick) then breed it with a Ditto to produce another Tyrogue and have it evolve into a different form from the one it was breed from. Via a careful process of Breeding, Evolution, and Breeding it is possible to breed a Tyrogue with move set consisting entirely of Egg Moves from each of its evolutions. An example of a possible moveset produced via this method could be Hi Jump Kick (Hitmonlee), Vacuum Wave (Hitmonchan), Rapid Spin(Hitmontop), Bullet Punch (Hitmonchan).
Cross-breeding Egg Moves[edit | edit source]
An advanced version of this method allows one to obtain certain Egg Moves from a Pokémon of a different egg group. For example it is possible to create a Lickitung with the egg move Belly Drum by first breeding a male Poliwhirl (that knows Belly Drum) with a female Slowpoke to produce a male Slowpoke, which will inherit Belly Drum as an egg move and belongs to both Water 1 Egg Group and Monster Egg Group (basically bridging the gap between Poliwhirl's Water 1 group & Lickitung's Monster group). Then carefully breed the male Slowpoke with a female Lickitung, producing a Lickitung with egg move, Belly Drum (this is just one example of obtaining Egg Moves via carefully planned cross-breeding).

The Chicago Center for Working-Class Studies (CCWCS) is proud to present the Interactive Labor Trail, made possible by a generous grant from the Illinois Humanities Council. This on-line history resource builds on "The Labor Trail: Chicago's History of Working-Class Life and Struggle," a map of 140 significant locations in the history of labor, migration, and working-class culture in Chicago and Illinois. The Labor Trail is the product of a joint effort to showcase the many generations of dramatic struggles and working-class life in the Chicago area's rich and turbulent past. The Trail's neighborhood tours invite you to get acquainted with the events, places, and people -- often unsung -- who have made the city what it is today. In addition, the statewide map is just a starting point for further exploration of Illinois' labor heritage. This Interactive Labor Trail expands the number of locations and provides a greater depth of information, while giving map users the chance to add their knowledge of locations and events in the Chicago area's working-class history.
We invite all individuals, groups, and institutions interested in the labor and working-class history of Chicago, Cook County, the Calumet Region, and Illinois to contribute to the map. Users can add new sites, edit or build upon existing entries with additional text, photographs, primary sources, audio and video files, as well as links to related websites.
Easy-to-use instructions for adding to the on-line version of the map are available.

I Think I Must Be Japanese
I think I must be Japanese. It's the only explanation that makes any sense for why I am completely obsessed with tentacles. I think I also read a bit too much H. P. Lovecraft growing up and possibly read a few too many manga comics. These things warp the brain of a young introverted man during his formative years.
Of all the Lovecraftian monsters my favorite by far is the Shoggoth. A giant protoplasmic monstrosity constantly forming and reforming eyes, organs, and tentacles. And weirdly it keeps shrieking "tekeli-li!" in a high pitched voice.
Look, I do love my Lovecraft stories, but "Tekeli-li!?" There is nothing LESS scary than that.
That's like being in a zombie apocalypse scenario and the zombies, instead of moaning and screaming "Brains!" instead burp and shout "I'm Fluffy!" in a Bugs Bunny voice. Check that. The more I think about that the more scary it becomes. So maybe I'm wrong. Maybe "Tekeli-li!" is actually terrifying and I don't realize it.

it may just be a case of guilt by association.
On April 1, 68 year-old Sly Stone - leader of the legendary funk band Sly and the Family Stone - was arrested in Los Angeles when he was pulled over for a traffic violation and LAPD officers allegedly found several rocks of crack cocaine in his clothing.
On Wednesday, Stone and his lawyers pleaded not guilty.
U.S. & World
In an official statement, Stone's lawyer, Peter Knecht, blamed the culture of musical celebrity.
"A lot of musicians hang out with people who have drugs," he told Reuters. He added: "you can't punish a guy for what he did 40 years ago, 30 years ago."
Stone (whose real name is Sylvester Stewart) has kept a low profile since his 70s heyday - but he does have a history of drug and weapon possession charges.
The enigmatic Stone made his last public appearance at the 2006 Grammy Awards, which featured a tribute to Sly and the Family Stone. However, word is that Stone has completed a new album - his first in almost 30 years - set for release in August.

Person A mentions that yes, sometimes "anti-kink stigma" is more than a mild thing:
And Joan Kelly, whose anger I commented on in the other post, flips the fuck out, half amusingly and half scarily:
Bean said on Please, somebody, come and defend Kink.com. I triple-dog dare you.February 7, 2009 at 1:18 am
The reason I don't feel defensive when anyone critiques or even flatly condemns kink from a supposed radical feminist perspective is that to me it seems like anti-kink radfems = just about zero sociopolitical clout and pro-kink kinksters = carrying the day.
And I live in a country which has a long, long history of censoring queer and kinky literature/media and justifying it with obscenity law based in part on the writings of radical feminists.
Thank you, try again.
Uh... so let me see if I understand this (I already know that I don't, but):
Joan Kelly said on Please, somebody, come and defend Kink.com. I triple-dog dare you.February 7, 2009 at 1:18 am
And *I* live in a country where billboards in high traffic areas (one of the poshest portions of the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood, California) depict male models as being in the act of over-the-knee spanking fenale models. This ad was for clothing. It is not unusual. It is mainstreamed in all kinds of ways here.
So take your references to Canadian court decisions on PORNOGRAPHY – not the sex people are having – and also take your misplaced condescenion, and go fuck yourself with both. Thank YOU.
"Someone brought up a highly salient point about how anti-pornography legislation has been used to censor queers, and...
...that's off-point because there are pretentious artsy-fartsy billboard ads in California depicting OTK.
Also, I'm really angry and dropped an f-bomb, so I must be right."
I can't tell whether this is ridiculous US-centrism or just Bizarro World.
My money's on Bizarro World, though.
Really, how can these people lament that they lack credence in the larger society when they adamantly refuse to make any fucking sense?

Confusing Group Texts
Group texts and email chains are great, if you like photos disappearing and context getting lost all within the exchange of a couple messages.

How can I tell if a network requires a password?
A password-protected Wi‑Fi network has a lock icon next to its name.
What if I don't know my Wi‑Fi password?
If your cable or Internet provider set up your Wi‑Fi router:
- Look for a label on the side or bottom of the router—it might list the default password.
Network Name (SSID): XXXXX
Network Key (Password): XXXXXXXXXX
- If your provider gave you a setup sheet, check it for your network information and password.
- Contact your cable or Internet provider for help recovering or resetting your Wi‑Fi password.
If you own your Wi‑Fi router:
- If someone else set up your network, ask that person for help.
- If you never created a personal password, check the brand of your Wi‑Fi router and go to their website to find the default password.
- To reset the password, either call the router manufacturer or check their website or user guide.
If you're using a public Wi‑Fi network at a library, hotel, business, or other shared space:
- Look for signs or information sheets that list the Wi‑Fi network name and password.
- Some public Wi‑Fi networks might ask you to log in after joining the network.
- Ask a staff member for help.
What if I know my password, but the network won't accept it?
In iOS:
- Tap Settings > Wi‑Fi.
- Tap next to the network that you're trying to join.
- Tap Forget This Network, then confirm by tapping Forget.
- Try to join the network again.
In macOS:
- Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences.
- Click Network, then select Wi-Fi in the sidebar on the left.
- Click the Advanced button.
- Select the Wi‑Fi network that you're trying to join, then click the Remove (–) button. If you're asked to confirm, click Remove.
- Click OK.
- Click Apply.
- Try to join the network again.
If the network still won't accept your password:
- Make sure that you're trying to join your network and not a nearby, similarly named network.
- Be careful to enter the password correctly. Wi‑Fi passwords are case-sensitive.
- If someone else set up your network, follow steps to confirm that you're using the correct password.

Serendipity in a photograph is found when light, composition and moment align. Capturing this elusive, magical photograph is a challenge when a photographer has two feet on dry ground. It's infinitely more difficult to achieve the same outcome while swimming in strong currents above razor-sharp reefs amid crashing waves. And that's precisely how Lucia Griggi makes her living.
Now in the midst of a career that turns the ocean into her office and spans the globe, the veteran surf photographer has beautifully photographed the world's most renowned surfers.
Griggi was born with neither surfing nor photography in her DNA. She grew up a competitive swimmer, but her first encounter with surfing wasn't at world-famous breaks like Pipeline, Waimea Bay or Cloudbreak. Rather, the first time she got on a surfboard was at the age of 21 in the icy waters of the British Isles.
In under a decade, Griggi has transformed herself from a novice hunting for the perfect wave to a respected professional surf photographer sought after in the industry. Just before speaking to TIME, Griggi, now 31, had just finished collaborating with a major manufacturer of waterproof camera enclosures, who sought her insight on how to evolve their next line of products.
Griggi makes it look easy, but in reality, it's anything but.
"It's a pain in the ass," she told TIME when describing working in conditions so adverse that you're lucky to come away with one strong image after hours in the water.
On a recent trip to Fiji to photograph at Cloudbreak, considered one of the best surf breaks, Griggi took an hour-and-a-half boat ride through choppy waters. They passed five boats chumming the water (to lure sharks) not too far from where she dove in for a lengthy swim across a channel. "That sort of alarmed me," Griggi said. "Once we swam across the channel, which takes a while and is exhausting with equipment and fins - we get into position over a sharp coral reef in the midst of 8-10 foot waves. It's exceptionally dangerous because you don't have anywhere to go [when the waves crash]. You have to be very alert at all times." Which begs the question: Why do it?
In the beginning, it was purely Griggi's passion that propelled her. "No one ever commissioned me or told me to go anywhere. I just had to be there because I wanted to shoot the best surfers in the world, and I wanted to go to the best places." Now she's sent around the world to cover the competitions for major organizations, including Surfline and ASP – the dominant organizing body for surfing worldwide.
"Everything I do comes from my motivation and love of doing it."

Death of Saul and His Sons. 1a Now the Philistines went to war against Israel, and Israel fled before them, and they fell, slain on Mount Gilboa. 2The Philistines pressed hard after Saul and his sons. When the Philistines had struck down Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua, sons of Saul, 3the fury of the battle converged on Saul. Then the archers hit him, and he was severely wounded.
4Saul said to his armor-bearer, "Draw your sword and run me through; otherwise these uncircumcised will come and abuse me." But the armor-bearer, badly frightened, refused, so Saul took his own sword and fell upon it. 5When the armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he too fell upon his sword and died. 6Thus Saul, and his three sons, his whole house, died together. 7When all the Israelites in the valley saw that Saul and his sons had fled and that they had died, they abandoned their cities and fled. Then the Philistines came and lived in those cities.
8On the following day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa. 9They stripped him, and took his head and his armor; these they sent throughout the land of the Philistines to bring the good news to their idols and to the people. 10They put his armor in the temple of their gods, but his skull they impaled at the temple of Dagon.
Burial of Saul. 11When all the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul, 12all their warriors set out, recovered the corpses of Saul and his sons, and brought them to Jabesh. They buried their bones under the oak of Jabesh, and fasted for seven days.b
13* Thus Saul died because of his treason against the LORD in disobeying his word, and also because he had sought counsel from a ghost,c 14rather than from the LORD. Therefore the LORD took his life, and turned his kingdom over to David, the son of Jesse.d
* [10:13–14] The Chronicler explains why Saul met his tragic end: he had disobeyed the Lord's command given through the prophet Samuel (1 Sm 15:3–9), and had consulted a necromancer (1 Sm 28:6–19), contrary to the Mosaic law (Dt 18:10–11).
c. [10:13] Dt 18:10–14; 1 Sm 13:13–14; 15:3, 11, 26.
d. [10:14] 1 Sm 15:28; 2 Sm 3:9–10.

Complement your online training with practice exams that help you prepare for and pass vendor certification exams.
Put your learning
to the test.
KnowledgeNet's practice IT test exam phase is a validation checkpoint which wraps up the formal learning process and determines your progress against established learning objectives.
Pre- and Post-Test Quizzes
Remember when you weren't prepared to take a test in school? That sinking, demoralized feeling of failure is universal—and one we've universally tried to avoid. That's why nearly every KnowledgeNet course has pre- and post-tests built into each training module. Pre-test quizzes gauge your knowledge prior to learning, and post-tests gauge the knowledge you've acquired afterward. These IT test questions help you assess whether you're "getting it" or not. And if you're not, you can go back into the training modules and do more work before moving on.
We don't just help you build skills. We help you build confidence.
Practice IT Test & Exams
Several of our IT certification training courses include practice IT test exams that provide feedback on overall achievement. They are valuable tools for determining if you've achieved sufficient levels of mastery with the new skills and knowledge to pass vendor certification exams. It also confirms your readiness and intention to transfer the learning into the workplace.
Practice IT test exams are used to measure what you know (knowledge) and how well you can apply what you know (performance). Many of KnowledgeNet's assessments are based on objectives specified by certifying bodies within specific content areas, such as CompTIA, Cisco, Microsoft and project management. In all cases, assessments help you determine what you already know, and where you need to concentrate future learning efforts.
Practice IT test exams:
1. Let you see how test questions are structured and the type of wording that you will see on the exam. It puts you in a certain frame of mind to understand the test questions.
2. Are great supplemental study tools that allow you to gauge your knowledge in particular subject areas so you can decide which sections you may need to focus on while studying.
3. Allow you to research the answers to questions you've missed.
Fact: KnowledgeNet students boast a 94% pass rate when taking certification exams.
Live, Dynamic Benchmarking
KnowledgeNet's live, dynamic benchmarking ensures you don't get same practice exams each time you access them. Instead, you'll get a different set of questions so that you can't memorize the answers. This is important because when you go to take the actual certification exam, it dynamically pulls a selection from a bank of several hundred questions. Test takers never know what the questions will be on a specific exam. Practice exams allow you to take and retake exams, and answer questions correctly based on solid training content.
We gear our practice exams to be more challenging than the actual certification exams. This is intended to give you the confidence you need to pass the certification exam in one try. It also provides a significant savings because each time you take an exam, you have to pay for it.
KnowledgeNet's live, dynamic benchmarking also measures skill level quickly and changes with technology shifts. You'll never be tested on outdated information.

When I first moved out of my parents' house, I was paranoid about spending money. I mean, I've always been a relatively frugal person (which is how, on my student loan income, I afford to randomly hop on planes as whims call), but I was really, really scared about spending back then. So to cook, I bought a single seasoning: one bottle of teriyaki sauce.
For just about every meal, for several months, I used nothing but that bottle of teriyaki sauce on everything. I ate teriyaki chicken, teriyaki beef, teriyaki seafood…also teriyaki rice, teriyaki eggs, teriyaki bread…you get the picture. I eventually polished off the whole bottle and I haven't been able to eat anything teriyaki since.
And that, friends, is the story of my life. Gaming is no different. I buy a game, I play it, play it, play it, play it until I'm finished. I rarely play more than one game at time, all my free time and energy is channeled into a single obsession of the season. I play the fuck out of my games. Go through my gaming collection and you won't find any fuck left in there, it's all been played out.
Then along came WoW. I've been playing WoW for, what, four? Five years? I can't remember. All I know is that I've never reached the end. I keep playing and playing and it keeps getting longer. As a result, I've been very cut off from the rest of the gaming world. Why play a new game when you can spend every night in Dire Maul grinding goblin rep for no other reason than grinding goblin rep? I mean, really!
Lately, listening to friends, listening to podcasts, just listening in general, has made me itchy to try something new. But there's always the excuses of "not enough time, not enough money, need to do all this Old Azeroth stuff before Cataclysm comes out!"
Then Hurricane Igor stepped in and stole my internet for 2 days. (Also, the picture in that link was taken from the hospital where I go to school. As you can see, it was a very wet time)
It was rough…withdrawal…the goosebumps, the sweating, the shaking, the panic…
Just kidding.
Besides my guild getting All You Can Eat (25 Player) without me (they ALWAYS do things like that, meanies!), it was awesome. My room is the cleanest it's been since I moved in, I did four loads of laundry and I was able to go to all my classes because, without WoW, I had gone to bed at a decent hour.
But was even more awesome was that it took away my excuse of "I NEED TO FINISH VANILLA WOW CONTENT RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW!" I had no internet so I had to dig through the games I had.
I sort of regretted not having set up Starcraft II for offline play. And not having downloaded those games my guildies recommended for me. And not having an emulator on hand to fire up Final Fantasy Tactics (which one reader will be happy to hear that I did discover among my games here).
The first game I popped into my CD drive was The Sims 2. I had wanted that game so badly when it first came out! Back in the day, I had played a lot of the original Sims. From what I read about the game, it had all the good stuff from the original and fixed all the annoying stuff . Unfortunately, it was going for more than I was willing to pay (that was the bottle of teriyaki era). Years later, I came across it in a second hand store in San Francisco for 10$. Yay! Only problem? The friend traveling with me also wanted the game. I think he ended up buying it, but I ended up bringing it home. Yet, because of WoW, I had never played.
What's the verdict after installing and playing the Sims 2?
Eh. Was very disappointed. I didn't like any of the pre-made stories. All my Sims wanted to do was flirt with each other. I have a rather large aversion for emotional dependencies so I was quickly disgusted. I tried designing my own neighborhood but got annoyed when I couldn't make my houses look the way I wanted.
In frustration, I gave up and went back to my pile of games. I pulled out FFVII, an old favourite that I'd been dying to play again. Now, while I'm not very technical (I'm not sure what a motherboard is, only that it sometimes catches fire and that's bad), I'm somewhat of a genius when it comes to making stuff work. Comes from being very clumsy and breaking a lot of things in my life. Try as I may, though, no combination of compatibility mode options would get the game running.
Saddened, I put FFVII away. The next game I found was Myst. A game I'd played a lot as a child, but, being a child, I didn't understand it and didn't get very far.
You can probably guess, though, that if FFVII didn't want to be played on my computer, Myst, a way older game, just laughed at me.
I eventually settled on Beyond Atlantis. It's from the same era as FFVII, but unlike FFVII, it actually works on modern computers. It's another one of those games that I played extensively but was too young to beat. It's no Myst, but it's a fun puzzle adventure game and I do quite enjoy fun puzzle adventure games. I'm also proud to announce that I managed to beat one of the levels entirely on my own, without looking up a walk-through. It was frustrating- one thing WoW has killed for me is my ability to figure things out without reading a guide, but so worth it in the end.
I'm not quite finished the game yet, but I hope to finally beat it so I can move on to other, more recent forms of video game entertainment.
Somehow this rambling post reached 1000 words. This is why I don't update often anymore. All these words come out of nowhere. Anyway, as of this morning my internet is back up and running. I haven't played WoW yet, but despite my vows to play other games and finish Beyond Atlantis, I somehow expect myself to be back in Dire Maul at the next opportunity. It's in my nature.

The folks at CNN, specifically, Nancy Grace's 'Cold Case' published the story of David Gimelfarb today and this blog has been getting HIT big time since I've written about David's disappearance numerous times and obviously, I coming up in GOOGLE searches for 'David Gimelfarb'.
For what I'm about to say, I mean NO disrespect, I swear. And nothing would make me happier if at the end of it all, David Gimelfarb is found ALIVE. I would love to have to apologize for being a complete A-HOLE (wouldn't be the first time). But I've been following this story and it hasn't made sense, at least to me, for quite some time. *Before you judge me and if you care, read what I had to say and WHY, in sequence, FIRST, then you can give me shit.
* David Gimelfarb MISSING in Costa Rica
* David Gimelfarb- the search CONTINUES
* Red Cross pull OUT of Search
* David Gimelfarb- MISSING or NOT?
*David Gimelfarb- What's the STORY?
*David Gimelfarb and Michael Dixon- MY THOUGHTS
*David Gimelfarb and Michael Dixon- the DIFFERENCE
Alright, BOTTOM-LINE.
Here's ALL I KNOW. If I truly, TRULY believed my son was ALIVE, roaming Costa Rica dazed and CONFUSED, I would be there, scouring the country and doing whatever it TOOK... am I wrong, wouldn't you? I'd criss-cross the fuckin country 10 times over, that is, if I truly believed he was ALIVE.
The 'Help Find David Gimelfarb' Facebook page is the most telling. Just read the posts in sequence. I don't blame them for wanting answers, HELLO, who wouldn't and I understand denial. But.....
David is dead.... but damn it, I'd rather apologize for being a A-HOLE.

A robust takedown of ENCODE's claim that >80% of the human genome is functional has just been published. It's open access.
This claim has been seized by Intelligent Design creationists, who have long been dismayed that their creator/designer could make such a cockup of the human genome by leaving so much unnecessary junk DNA in there.

(CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.)
Sometimes, when a country song just hits you right, it can be an overwhelming feeling. Even if you're the one singing it. It happened again to Miranda Lambert last weekend at her New Orleans concert when she was about one verse into her sentimental "The House That Built Me." She stopped singing and said, "I'm sorry, y'all, but I wanted to say something. I went out to Walgreens today, and I saw some houses that still had boards on the windows, and, I live in Tornado Alley, in Oklahoma, and I know how disaster can affect a community," she said of the long-term effects that 2005's Hurricane Katrina has had on New Orleans. "I just wanted you to know that I've prayed for you guys and everything you went through and that I appreciate you rebuilding your community and coming back stronger than ever." The Times-Picayune newspaper in New Orleans reported that Lambert was crying too much to even finish the song. But then she went on to tell the crowd, "Seriously, y'all. I'm gonna have to kick your asses if you tell anyone I was crying up here."

Meyer anchors Newswatch 16 at 5 and 5:30 with Julie Sidoni.
Jon started at Newswatch 16 as a reporter in June, 2003. His first job at WNEP was as the Luzerne County beat reporter. He then anchored the weekend evening newscasts for six years before moving Monday through Friday to Newswatch 16 at 5 and 5:30.
Jon has covered a wide range of stories for Newswatch 16. He won a Pennsylvania Association of Broadcasters (PAB) award for his reports after he went to Haiti following the devastating earthquake in 2010 with a group from central Pennsylvania. He also won a PAB award along with Julie Sidoni for their extensive on-air coverage of the historic flooding of 2011.
Jon is no stranger to Pennsylvania. He came to WNEP from WJAC-TV in Johnstown. There he served as weekend anchor and reporter. Jon was a key to WJAC's coverage of the September 11, 2001 attack on America. United Airlines Flight 93 crashed only 20 miles from Johnstown in Somerset County. Jon was the first reporter at the crash site. He followed the story extensively for the weeks and months that followed. His accounts of the crash and his experiences covering it appear in several books about September 11 and its aftermath.
Jon grew up just west of the WNEP viewing area in St. Marys, Elk County. He and Julie Sidoni are from the same town and went to high school together.
After high school, Jon went to Syracuse University and graduated with degrees in Broadcast Journalism and International Relations. Jon is a big sports fan, always rooting hard for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Pittsburgh Pirates, Penn State football and the Syracuse Orange football and basketball teams.
Jon is also a fan of outdoor activities like hiking, boating, skiing, fishing and hunting.
In 2009, Jon married Newswatch 16 reporter Renie Workman. They have two daughters who keep them quite busy.

LITTLE FALLS, Minn. (AP) — Wet, windy weather made it challenging for participants in Camp Ripley's 12th annual archery deer hunt for youth.
The hunt drew 137 hunters to the Camp Ripley military reservation last weekend, while 13 other young people hunted next door at the Nature Conservancy's Lake Alexander Preserve. They took 12 deer in all — 10 at Camp Ripley and two at the preserve.
Beau Liddell, the Little Falls area wildlife manager for the Department of Natural Resources, says that's a typical harvest for the special two-day hunt. Many of the 12 deer were the first for these hunters, who were paired with adult mentors who gave advice but did not hunt.
The two hunts last weekend were the first of 18 special youth deer hunts across the state this year.

Dragons, to begin with. There was a dragon at Sexhow - and a dragon at Whorl Hill near Swainby.
|View of Whorl Hill
(Or possibly, the same dragon, with two lairs).
These frightful Worms were a menace and a dread to the people. They suffered terribly from the depredations of the beasts, hoping always to be rescued by some gallant knight in shining armour.
When at last the Worm of Sexhow was slain, the happy villagers carried its pelt to the parish church in Hutton Rudby, and hung it in triumph against the wall, where it remained for many long years ...
And now the tale of Awd Nan of Sexhow - a suitably frightful story for Hallowe'en.
Awd Nan had been the village witch. One night, her ghost appeared to a Sexhow farmer to tell him the whereabouts of some buried treasure. The silver he was to keep for himself, but the gold must be given to Awd Nan's niece, who lived in Stokesley. At the end of a year, the ghost warned him, she would be back to see what he had done. But the foolish man kept both the gold and the silver. At last Awd Nan reappeared to him and jumped up behind him on his horse at Stokesley. Seizing him by the throat, she gripped him tighter and tighter until he fell dead at his own door.
And then there's the White Lady of Skutterskelfe (though she might be just the mist over the beck) and some speak of the Grey Lady of Drumrauch, though little is known about her. I sometimes wonder if they were just ways of terrifying the young from straying far from the village.

In their latest update, the Under the Pole team share their Arctic adventures, which included a visit to Canada's Ellesmere Island.
"Adventure is full of pleasant surprises and twists," writes Ghislain Bardout in his latest newsletter. "We stopped in one of the wintering grounds of the Fram, the iconic polar exploration ship [of explorers Nansen and Amundsen]. It was here, alongside a glacier, where an idea emerged: what if we went exploring its underside?"
© Lucas Santucci / Under The Pole. "Ghislain and Martin spend several hours every day to prepare their recyclers and make their gas mixtures. Before getting on the water, the concentration is maximum, misinterpretation or an error can be fatal at these depths."
"We experienced magical and rare moments," adds Ghislain. "In the Arctic, a cairn is a hollow that allows leaving messages for future travelers. In an Ellesmere cairn we found a previously undiscovered box containing a message recounting a 1925 expedition."
The team, who are exploring Greenland's coastline, sailed as far north as they could get before ice blocked their path at 80°23N. "We docked to an ice floe in order to achieve the northernmost scuba dive of the expedition," continues Ghislain.
© Martin Martin - Lucas Santucci / Under The Pole. Life and light returns after a 100 m dive.
"The second half of August was devoted to finding a wintering place in the Bay of Qaanaaq. After speaking to locals and exploring various sites, the team settled on Uummannaq Bay further south. "Wintering in Uummannaq Bay is also a great happiness for us, since we loved the dives and made good friends there," adds Ghislain.

Surveillance cameras have to give the operator as much information as possible. Logical. But an equally logical consideration is that the operator not only sees a lot but also sees it a lot faster.
The Eindhoven-based company Adimec Advanced Image Systems bv already has sophisticated image corrections incorporated in its cameras to optimally compensate for the loss of quality that results from 'internal' factors like the physical limitations of the optical lens, the mechanical tolerances and the limits of the light that is converted in the image sensors.

3 Democratic appointees to hear Bonds' appeal
Barry Bonds' appeal of his felony obstruction of justice conviction will be heard by three federal judges who were each appointed by a different Democratic president.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday unveiled its February schedule, which showed publicly for the first time the three judges assigned to Bonds' case.
Senior Circuit Judges Mary M. Schroeder and Michael Daly Hawkins along with Judge Mary H. Murguia will hear oral arguments Feb. 13.
Jimmy Carter appointed Schroeder in 1979. She wrote an opinion in 2010 upholding U.S. District Judge Susan Illston's ruling to bar the testimony of former Bay Area Laboratory Co-operative executive James Valente from Bonds' trial, which led to the exclusion of some BALCO records that the government maintained included positive drug tests.
Bonds, baseball's career home run leader, was still convicted by a jury in 2011 that concluded he gave an "intentionally evasive, false or misleading" answer to a grand jury in 2003 when he was asked whether Greg Anderson, his personal trainer, ever gave him "anything that required a syringe to inject yourself with?"
Bonds gave a rambling response during which he said "I became a celebrity child with a famous father. I just don't get into other people's business because of my father's situation."
Bonds' lawyers claim the answer was truthful, was not obstructive and that he answered the question later in his testimony. Federal prosecutors say the answer impeded the grand jury's investigation into the illegal distribution of performance-enhancing drugs.
Bill Clinton appointed Hawkins in 1994. President Barack Obama appointed Murguia in 2010.
Bonds' jury failed to reach a verdict on three counts of making false statements, which accused him of lying when he denied taking steroids given to him by Anderson, denied receiving human growth hormone from Anderson and said only physicians injected him. Illston declared a mistrial on those counts, and the government then dismissed them.
Illston sentenced Bonds to 30 days house arrest, two years of probation, 250 hours of community service in youth-related activities and a $4,000 fine. She delayed the sentence pending the appeal.

— The price of oil rose Thursday, but gains were limited by conflicting estimates for crude demand for 2013.
Benchmark oil for March delivery was up 27 cents to $97.28 per barrel at late afternoon Bangkok time in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract dropped 50 cents Wednesday to finish at $97.01 a barrel on the Nymex after a U.S. government report showed an increase in U.S. oil supplies.
Crude supplies increased by 600,000 barrels, or 0.2 percent, to 696 million barrels, which is 9.8 percent above year-ago levels, the U.S. Energy Department's Energy Information Administration said in its weekly report. The American Petroleum Institute, meanwhile, reported that crude inventory fell by 2.3 million barrels for the week ending Feb. 8. The API relies on voluntary reports from distributors and pipeline operators, while submissions for the government's report are mandatory.
The Paris-based International Energy Agency lowered its consumption forecast by 85,000 barrels a day compared with data from a month ago. The IEA expects the world to use 90.7 million barrels of crude oil a day this year. That is 1 million barrels a day more than OPEC's estimate, released Tuesday, of 89.7 million barrels a day. OPEC raised its 2013 forecast for global demand, citing signs of recovery in the global economy.
Analysts said oil prices have avoided dramatic fluctuations because of the difficulty in pinpointing what energy demand will be this year.
"OPEC revised its demand outlook higher for 2013, while the IEA revised its demand outlook lower for the same period," said Michael Hewson of CMC Markets, adding that oil prices have been "hemmed in by divergent views on the demand outlook for 2013."
Brent crude, used to price international varieties of oil, was up 32 cents at $118.20 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange in London.
In other energy futures trading on the Nymex:
— Wholesale gasoline rose 1.4 cents to $3.049 a gallon.
— Natural gas fell 0.1 cent to $3.305 per 1,000 cubic feet.
— Heating oil rose 0.9 cent to $3.214 a gallon.
