Has The Corporation returned to the WWE?
In years past, it's been a wrestling tradition to have stables be a part of the business. Stables are a group of wrestlers who bond together to create a force among the roster. Sometimes they're a band, sometimes just a group of friends, but they always have something in common. Sometimes, long after the stables have disbanded, they are known to come back together either to the delight or the chagrin of the audience. Some stables who are notable for doing this are The Four Horseman, the nWo, and D-Generation X. All three of the aforementioned groups had an air of prestige to them, and they helped revolutionize the sport as well as the era.
I believe that we may be seeing the rebirth of one of the Attitude Era's most notable forces, The Corporation.
In 1998, Vince McMahon was involved in a war with Stone Cold Steve Austin. Where McMahon would find a way to top Austin, Austin would always find a way to cause him more grief. Later down the line, superstars such as Mankind would also become a thorn in the side of McMahon, and thus, The Corporation was born. When McMahon sought out the best choices to be a part of this group, he found an array of superstars who were eclectic as well as dominating against anyone who dare challenge the team. Superstars such as The Rock, Ken Shamrock, The Big Show, Kane (briefly before WM15), Triple H, Chyna, The Big Bossman, Test, Shane McMahon, and a few select others. The group became a force to reckon with in the WWE, helping to eliminate D-Generation X and create a bond with The Ministry of Darkness, which came to be known as the Corporate Ministry.
The Corporation began because Vince McMahon didn't feel as though Stone Cold Steve Austin was the right image for the company. Odd, considering prior to Austin's reign, the crotch-gesturing Shawn Michaels was champion, but I digress. With Austin as champion, McMahon's company was labeled as being extreme, audacious, crude, but not surprisingly, it worked. People loved it, and Austin was the forerunner of the company. McMahon's vision of the WWE at the time was ruined by the beer swilling redneck, a group of degenerates, a lunatic, a deadman, and various other oddities.
Recently, the WWE Championship has been held by various superstars who create a good public image for the WWE. John Cena, a superstar who is loved worldwide by children, mothers, fathers, soldiers, and the general public. He's racked up over 400 visits to children through the Make A Wish Foundation. He's supported the Susan G. Komen Foundation, he's a swell guy. Prior to him was The Rock, a bonafide A-list movie star who has electrified audiences for over 15 years. Before The Rock was CM Punk, a superstar who loves professional wrestling and lives a completely clean straight edge lifestyle. CM Punk defeated Alberto Del Rio, a rich, debonaire Hispanic superstar who helped bring prestige to the gold.
When you have such superstars as these holding the WWE Championship for the last two years, it's difficult to ascertain that a 5'9", bearded, former anger management patient who's catchphrase is essentially an one-word answer could ever become "the guy" in the company. Daniel Bryan is a superstar for wrestling fans. That's the simplest way to put it. As a fan of professional wrestling, you've become familiar with Daniel Bryan for his work in the ring. His persistence, his drive, his intensity, his passion. He doesn't worry about entertaining, he forces himself to be the best no matter what the odds are.
However, to look at Daniel Bryan, you don't see a professional wrestler. The average guy changing the channel wouldn't stop if he saw a guy holding THE championship who was shouting "YES!" and talking about how great his beard is. This is all in the eyes of Vince and Stephanie McMahon, and Triple H. With this being said, it's not difficult to understand why the company would want a guy like Randy Orton to be the WWE Champion. He's tall, tan, has cool tattoos, the ladies love him, he's well-groomed, he doesn't take huge risks if he doesn't feel the need to. He's a company man's champion. If you had never seen pro wrestling but liked tattoos, liked guys who were handsome and had that army guy look, or even liked MMA, you would see something in Orton that you liked.
This is why it's easy to understand the motive behind Triple H and Vince McMahon's plight. As Triple H explained, it was difficult for him to end Daniel Bryan's journey to becoming the WWE Champion. As a wrestler, Triple H probably saw a lot of the same drive in Daniel Bryan that he once possessed. As a 13-time champion (8 WWE, 5 World Heavyweight), The Game definitely gets why Daniel is so focused on becoming the top guy in the company. Still, his tactics on holding Bryan back are underhanded and essentially evil.
What will Daniel Bryan do now that he's not only got Orton to worry about, but also the top dogs in the WWE? Even if Triple H, Vince McMahon, and Stephanie McMahon back off, Orton is still a challenger that many have fallen victim to. Orton isn't afraid to use weaponry or his former signature maneuver, the punt to the head. However, with H and the McMahons on his side (as well as The Shield), Orton is seemingly unstoppable. What will it take to get the gold off of Randy Orton? Will Daniel Bryan even have a fighting chance? For that matter… will anybody?

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
My favorite officer layout for semi-large raiding guilds is GL (obviously), with 2-3 RLs (who usually also have about the same power as the GL so they can fill in if the GL is offline), then a handful of officers (generally one from each roll i.e. tanking/healing and occasionally a simply exceptional player). These people make up the loot council and are the go-to people for guild problems. Just below them, however, you also have a rank of experienced raiders and/or class officers. Rather than approaching these people about guild problems, these are the people you'd talk to about what they should be doing in a certain encounter to maximize your dps, or to bounce new ideas for talent specs off of so the GL isn't constantly spammed.

Security is not easy and as long as we have the valuable stuff hackers want, they won't stop.
So it's important to understand what the authenticator does and does not do for you. Like in that Seinfeld episode, Seinfeld got robbed even though he has the most secure locks on his front door because Kramer forget to close it.
-- The authenticator (multi-factor authentication) protects you from "replay attack", where the bad guys can no longer take their time to hack you two weeks later.
----> They need to take both your password and your auth-code to pretend to be you for a short time. Or they have to physically steal your authenticator.
-- To defend against man-in-the-middle attacks, you need SSL or other end point authentication. Basically SSL protects your data *AFTER* leaving your computer and it promises the data will be unreadable in transist and truely reach it's intended destination unaltered before it can be read.
----> They need to get into your computer to mess with your data BEFORE it leaves the computer.
The good news is that adding an authenticator raise the bar for the hackers to steal your account. But they can still do it if you are not careful... Like even if Kramer remember to close the door, he still has to turn the lock for it to work most effectively.
Additionally, all of these protections are not reliable if the bad guys have malware IN THE COMPUTER. They can literally do anything they want. They can even alter your WoW client itself to connect to them instead of Blizzard to login. It's like locking the front door doesn't really protect you from the thief who's already inside the house.
So we still need to be vigilant about it even with the authenticator.

Written by:
Pushed off a cliff,
Down a flight of stairs,
Lying shattered,choking,
In a pool of my own blood.
Defiled and degraded,
Knowing nothing of myself,
Other than my name.
I lay on the cold marble floor.
Absurdly,I thought that I,
Had achieved a state of grace.
Though trampled and gasping,
For I had obeyed my vows.
I castrated myself for my other.
Even sending him other women,
When my maturing femaleness,
Was not ripe enough for his seed.
A quarter of my life was spent,
Not in a blessed union,
But in self imposed imprisonment.
This man was my warden.
Kept confined by his passions,
Illusions,and masterful cruelty.
I had turned the key in the padlock,
And would never use it to flee.
My fate was sealed.
First by my wounds,
Then by the executioner.
Who would be called me.

The Bexar County Courthouse
The significance of Bexar County in the history of the United States has not been widely communicated. Its original boundary extended north through what is now the State of Wyoming. Through various events in US history the boundary of Bexar County changed, along with the boundary of the Republic of Texas. Bexar County's original boundary helped shape the Republic of Texas, and the boundaries of multiple states in the US including Wyoming, Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Louisiana and Texas.
Named by the Viceroy to honor his brother the Duque de Bejar, a fallen war hero, Bexar County government maintains is relationship with the current Duque de Bexar in Spain. There is a direct historic connection between the history of el condado de Bejar (Bexar County), the Spanish Colonial settlement of la Villa de San Fernando and its Catedral de San Fernando, el Presidio de Bejar, and the five Spanish Colonial Missions of San Antonio which are under consideration for designation as a World Heritage Site (Mision San Antonio de Valero, Mision San Jose y San Miguel de Aguayo, Mision Nuestra Senora de la Purisima Concepcion de Acuna, Mision San Juan de Capistrano, and Mision San Francisco de la Espada, and their associated settlements, ranches and farms).

Deadly clashes broke out during funerals of slain supporters of Egypt's ousted Islamist president Sunday, as the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood urged his supporters to stand fast after dozens of them were killed in weekend violence.
An Egyptian Health Ministry official says the death toll in weekend clashes between security forces and supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi has risen to 80, but an official at Cairo's main morgue put the toll at 83 after 11 bodies arrived at the facility Sunday
Setting the stage for more confrontation, the military-installed interim president gave the prime minister the power to grant the military the right to arrest civilians in what government officials said could be a prelude to a major crackdown on Mohammed Morsi's supporters or Islamic militants who have stepped up attacks against security forces in the Sinai Peninsula.
- Egypt's military chief calls for pro-army rallies
- Egypt on edge: key players, flashpoints, developments
- Photos of Egypt's opposing factions taking to the streets
The extent of the bloodshed has dashed hopes of reconciliation between the country's two camps, sharply divided over the July 3 military coup that removed Egypt's first freely elected president following protests by millions of Egyptians demanding he step down.
Islamists staunchly reject the new leadership and insist the only possible solution to the crisis is to reinstate Morsi. Meanwhile, the interim leadership is pushing ahead with a fast-track transition plan to return to a democratically elected government by early next year.
Egypt's interior minister, who is in charge of the police, also pledged to deal decisively with any attempts to destabilize the country, a thinly veiled warning to Morsi supporters occupying two squares in Cairo in a monthlong stand-off with security forces.
The international community, meanwhile, urged restraint.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry issued a strongly worded statement on Saturday, saying he told Egyptian authorities it is "essential" they respect the right to peaceful protest. He called on all sides to enter a "meaningful political dialogue" to "help their country take a step back from the brink."
Morsi supporters decry 'massacre'
The worst bout of violence since Morsi's ouster took place before dawn on Saturday when police and armed men in civilian clothes opened fire on his supporters as they sought to expand their sit-in camp by moving onto a nearby main boulevard.
Authorities conceded that the vast majority of the 72 killed in Cairo were demonstrators, but the Interior Ministry said some policemen also were wounded as the military-backed administration sought to defend the bloodshed.
Officials from Morsi's Brotherhood and their allies decried what they called a new "massacre" against their side, which occurred only weeks after July 8 clashes with army troops in Cairo that left more than 50 Morsi supporters dead.
Civilians, sometimes with weapons, frequently join police in Cairo demonstrations. In some cases, they appear to be plainclothes police; in others residents who back the security forces.
A video posted Sunday on social networking sites show policemen and men in civilian clothes pointing their rifles at the protesters wearing industrial helmets and homemade body armor and standing behind makeshift barricades.
Another video, posted by the Interior Ministry, shows protesters hurling stones and firebombs at the security forces from behind their barricades. One masked man was shown shooting at the police with what appeared to be a large silver-plated pistol.
The authenticity of the videos could not be independently verified, but they generally conformed with Associated Press reporting.
No army troops were on the scene, but the international community and human rights groups expressed concern that the military had allowed the carnage to occur.
Mulism Brotherhood blasts 'bloody regime'
Human Rights Watch said many of those killed over the weekend were shot in the head or chest and the killings took place over several hours. The New York-based group said it spoke to witnesses and reviewed extensive video footage of the events. Medical staff, it said, judged some of the deaths to be targeted killings because the position of the shots would likely result in death.
The clashes broke out hours after millions responded to a call by military chief Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi to take to the streets in a show of support to provide a mandate for him and the police to tackle violence and "potential terrorism."
Two other men were killed and scores injured in violence that followed the funerals of two Morsi supporters Sunday in two cities north of Cairo, Kafr el-Zayat and Port Said.
Mohammed Badie, the supreme leader of the Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood, launched a stinging attack on el-Sissi over the latest violence, saying the military chief was leading a "bloody regime" and urging his followers to stand fast.
"Don't be sad and don't despair," he said in a message to followers posted on his website.
The Brotherhood rejects the July 3 coup, saying it has overturned a democratically elected administration and refuses to join the post-Morsi political process sponsored by the military. It says security forces were not provoked when they opened fire on its supporters early on Saturday.
Interior Minister Mohammed Ibrahim, who is the only member of Morsi's former cabinet to keep his post, accused the pro-Morsi side of provoking bloodshed to win sympathy and suggested that authorities could move against the two main pro-Morsi protest camps: one outside the Rabaah al-Adawiya mosque in eastern Cairo and another in Nahda Square near the main campus of Cairo University.
"I assure the glorious people of Egypt that the police are determined and capable to maintain security and safety to their nation with the support of the sincere sons of the country," Ibrahim said Sunday during a graduation ceremony at the national police academy. "We will very strongly and decisively deal with anyone who attempts to undermine stability."
He depicted the two encampments as a danger to the public, pointing to a string of nine bodies police have said were found nearby in recent days. Some had been tortured to death, police have said, apparently by members of the sit-ins who believed they were spies.
"Soon we will deal with both sit-ins," Ibrahim said.
UN officials urge restraint
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon also asked security forces to "act with full respect for human rights" and demonstrators to "exercise restraint."
Catherine Ashton, the EU's foreign policy chief, was due in Egypt later on Sunday and will meet Egyptian leaders on Monday, according to an official statement issued in Cairo. It will be her second visit to Egypt this month, a sign of the alarm felt in the West over the continuing bloodshed in the country.
The UN's human rights chief Navi Pillay issued also condemned the violence and called for a "credible, independent investigation" into the killings.
"Despite all the warnings, all the calls for restraint, more than 150 Egyptians have died during protests over the past month, not just in Cairo but in other cities as well," she said. "I fear for the future of Egypt if the military and other security forces, as well as some demonstrators, continue to take such a confrontational and aggressive approach. Supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood have the right to protest peacefully like anyone else."

Whenever CBS unveils a new fall schedule, it's like watching an impressive round of chess, as powerful pieces (of programming) are moved strategically around the board (the prime-time line-up), operating from a position of strength to shore up weak spots and holes on the schedule, proving that an aggressive offense is a great defense against stagnation and decline. (See the full lineup here.)
"What are we going to do this year to make things interesting?" challenged CBS Entertainment president Nina Tassler, presiding over the shortest, punchiest and — take that, stodgy CBS image! — most energetic upfront presentation to date this week. Highlights: NCIS: LA's LL Cool J led a rap, punctuated by an opera singer's aria, getting the audience on its feet. And 2 Broke Girls' Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs opened the show with a taped comedy bit, serving Tim Tebow, David Letterman and Regis Philbin in their fake diner, then entering Carnegie Hall in person, bearing cupcakes. Super Bowl champ Eli Manning also dropped by, touting this season's big game, airing on CBS this winter.
But back to Tassler's question. CBS is the most traditional, the most stable and in many ways the most formulaic of the broadcast networks. But it has never been the most complacent. They could easily leave successful nights like Monday and Thursday alone, letting those hits stay put indefinitely until they calcify, but that's not their style. Instead, they make things interesting by shaking things up. One of the loudest cage-rattlings involves moving the long-time crowd-pleaser The Mentalist from its dominant perch on Thursdays to Sundays (replacing CSI: Miami, the first of that franchise to be retired). I'm sure I'll be getting mail soon from Mentalist fans wondering if CBS is trying to kill the show, because it's unlikely to pull the same ratings on Sundays, especially during the months of lengthy football overruns. But CBS knows that fact of TV life as well as anyone, and as long as The Mentalist delivers — and there's no reason to expect it won't — it will be fine as long as there's life in the show.
Want more TV news and reviews?
Perhaps the most unexpected move is shifting longtime Monday anchor Two and a Half Men to Thursdays, where it will go into its twilight reunited with CBS' best and most powerful sitcom, The Big Bang Theory, comprising what Tassler calls a "super comedy hour." Taking over Two and a Half Men's pivotal time slot (9/8c, Mondays) is last season's breakout hit, the crude but popular 2 Broke Girls. Too much too soon? We shall see.
Hammocked on Mondays at 8:30/7:30c between the resurgent How I Met Your Mother — Tassler called it "HimYim" (as in the shorthand HIMYM) — and Girls will be one of only four new series CBS is launching this fall: Partners, from the creators of Will & Grace and based on their professional and personal relationship as best buds. Think of it as Straight Will & Jack, with Numb3rs'David Krumholtz as the "Straight Will" and Ugly Betty's Michael Urie as his flamboyant BFF "Jack," each with their own "Grace." Krumholtz is engaged to One Tree Hill's Sophia Bush, while Urie is dating a male nurse (Chuck's Brandon Routh, who seems awfully stiff for this company). The clips (not always a reliable barometer) lack the theatrical flourish we associate with Will & Grace, but the premise is as appealing as the cast, and like most CBS shows, it looks like a good and smart fit.
The rest of CBS' new slate consists of (take a guess) variations on crime and legal dramas, each with a twist. The broadest, in a manner of speaking, is the working-girl lawyer show Made in Jersey, joining the Friday lineup nestled snugly at 9/8c between the durable CSI: NY — which survived the cut again this year — and the solid Blue Bloods. Looking like Snooki's more successful and polished sister, British actress Janet Montgomery plays a tough Jersey girl from a large and rambunctious Italian family who brings her brash attitude to a stodgy Manhattan law firm. Its light tone may be more suitable for Friday than last year's earnest medical drama A Gifted Man.
The stakes are much higher for Elementary, a modern-day Sherlock Holmes caper taking over The Mentalist's high-profile Thursday slot (10/9c). Yes, we know a brilliant version of this already exists on PBS — the astounding climax to Sherlock's second season airs this Sunday, by the way — but this is by no means a clone. Set in New York and starring Jonny Lee Miller as a possibly edgier version of the celebrated and mercurial sleuth (we first see him shirtless and lavishly tattooed, fresh from rehab), Elementary teams him with a female Dr. Watson (Lucy Liu, who was a revelation this year on Southland). Comparisons with the British version will be inevitable, but Miller is as charismatic here as he was on the short-lived Eli Stone, and this is playing to a potentially much wider audience, so there's probably room for both. (In an added irony, Miller and Sherlock's Benedict Cumberbatch recently appeared opposite each other in an acclaimed London stage version of Frankenstein, switching roles from performance to performance. Please let there be crossover cameos.)
CBS waited until the end of its presentation to introduce what represents its greatest risk, and best possibility to do something out of the ordinary: a '60s-era crime saga, Vegas (Tuesdays at 10/9c, following the NCIS juggernaut combo), about a local sheriff who'd really rather be a rancher. He's played by Dennis Quaid (his series debut), the very model of a natural CBS star. But with Las Vegas rising from the desert to become the next Sin City, complete with mobsters (including Michael Chiklis) ready to seize opportunity, it's up to the sheriff and his brother (Terra Nova's Jason O'Mara) to keep things from getting too lawless. NBC and ABC crashed and burned last year with their period pieces (The Playboy Club and Pan Am), but Vegas appears to be putting character and conflict first, which is wise.
You'd never confuse this with Mad Men, and believe me, CBS wouldn't want you to.


text: Project Evolution was finally ready for its first track day outing. Other than the power-adders - which include AMS FMIC and piping, an AEM intake, Cobb Tuning 3-inch high-flow cat and exhaust, an RRE ECU tune, and the Defi Advance CR gauges - everything else (the suspension, wheels and tires) was stock. My plan of attack was to put down some preliminary lap times at Buttonwillow (BW) Raceway before upgrading the suspension to see how much better the new Toda Fightex coilovers would be. After a solid day of running configuration 13 at BW, I quickly found out that the EVO X is an amazingly capable car right out of the box. And that begs the question, Why does it need a suspension upgrade? The complete Toda Fightex Type DA coilover setup for the EVO X. For a number of reasons, actually. Aftermarket suspension systems not only allow ride height adjustability but also dampening control, camber adjustment and stiffer springs, which all add up to provide more grip and translate to faster lap times. If you're not into all that performance stuff, they allow you to slam your ride to make it hella cool. But being low with the wrong coilovers can have its drawbacks, like an unpleasantly stiff ride. That's why investing in a quality set of coilovers can make or break your driving experience. Even if you don't track your car, a well-rounded coilover system will provide you with a comfortable ride and low stance - something I thought wasn't possible - but after installing Toda's Fightex Type DA coilovers, my opinion has changed. Great attention was paid to the details in the design of the Fightex coilovers. The notch in the housing isn't a tooling mistake, it's meant for the OEM ABS sensor bracket (a feature found on very few EVO X coilovers). Great attention was paid to the details in the design of the Fightex coilovers. The notch My past experience with coilovers has been mostly entry-level systems, so I was taken aback by the amazing ride quality of the Fightex coilovers with the EVO's low stance. With 12 available dampening adjustments, the middle setting proved to ride practically like stock, and I'm not joking here. It was mildly stiffer, but the coilovers absorbed the bumps and cracks in the road as well as the stock suspension did. With springs rates of 12K up front and 10K in the rear, I was shocked (no pun intended) at how comfortable these coilovers were on the street because, as I mentioned earlier, my past experiences taught me to expect a harsh ride. Further proof came when I drove another EVO X equipped with a cheap set of coilovers, and sure enough, the ride quality was what I expected - harsh and rough. You get what you pay for. Spending an extra thousand-plus dollars on a higher-end coilover setup will immensely improve your driving experience, and I've yet to even test the Fightex coilovers on the track! Durable, corrosion-resistant, lightweight, anodized-duralumin upper pillow ball camber mounts offer plenty of camber adjustment options. Durable, corrosion-resistant, lightweight, anodized-duralumin upper pillow ball camber mou Aside from the great road-handling characteristics, the Toda Fightex Type DA coilovers offer some other excellent features like independent ride height adjustment that doesn't affect spring pre-load or damper stroke length. The shock bodies are constructed of aluminum, which is rust-resistant and much lighter than conventional steel casings. The chrome high-strength anodized upper pillow ball mounts are also corrosion resistant and designed as a separate piece from the spring mounts, effectively ensuring they don't adversely effect the spring and dampers performance during rotation. Dust shields on the rear shocks keep the pistons free of any sand, dirt and debris that could possibly contaminate it. Dust shields on the rear shocks keep the pistons free of any sand, dirt and debris that co But it's the little details that really set the Fightex coilovers apart from the crowd. A groove has been cut into the lower coilover housing to fit the ABS sensor wire bracket like it would on the OEM setup. I have yet to see another EVO X coilover with this feature; most need to be zip-tied on. It's apparent that Toda built these coilovers properly and didn't cut any corners. I should mention that Fightex coilovers are manufactured in-house at Toda with one single technician overseeing the entire assembly and are dyno shock tested before shipment. Toda prides itself on providing high-quality products through strict standards and serious research and development. The Type DA coilovers have the same design qualities that Toda's Formula3 race dampers do. By using aluminum instead of steel construction, the Fightex coilovers are able to dissipate heat much better than their steel counterparts.

A Japanese nuclear safety official says the water inside the waste fuel storage pool for a damaged reactor at an atomic power plant may be boiling.
Hidehiko Nishiyama of the economy ministry that oversees nuclear safety told reporters Tuesday that "we cannot deny the possibility of water boiling" in the pool.
Nishiyama sought to avoid commenting on the potential risks from the rising temperatures caused by a failure of systems required to keep the spent fuel rods cool. He said the plant's operator is considering what to do about the problem.
Dangerous levels of radiation leaking from the crippled nuclear plant forced Japan to order 140,000 people to seal themselves indoors Tuesday after an explosion and a fire dramatically escalated the crisis spawned by a deadly tsunami.
In a nationally televised statement, Prime Minister Naoto Kan said radiation has spread from four reactors of the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant in Fukushima state, one of the hardest-hit in Friday's 9.0-magnitude earthquake and the ensuing tsunami that has killed more than 10,000 people, plunged millions into misery and pummeled the world's third-largest economy.
Though Kan and other officials urged calm, Tuesday's developments fueled a growing panic in Japan and around the world amid widespread uncertainty over what would happen next. In the worst case scenario, the reactor's core would completely melt down, a disaster that could spew large amounts of radioactity into the atmosphere.
The radiation fears added to the catastrophe that has been unfolding in Japan, where at least 10,000 people are believed to have been killed and mllions of people have spent four nights with little food, water or heating in near-freezing temperatures as they dealt with the loss of homes and loved ones.
Asia's richest country hasn't seen such hardship since World War II. The stock market plunged for a second day and a spate of panic buying saw stores running out of necessities, raising government fears that hoarding may hurt the delivery of emergency food aid to those who really need it.
In a rare bit of good news, rescuers found a 70-year-old woman alive in her swept-away home four days after the tsunami flattened much of Japan's northeastern coast.
After Tuesday's fire and separate explosion at two reactors in the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant, officials just south of the area reported up to 100 times the normal levels of radiation, Kyodo News agency reported. While those figures are worrying if there is prolonged exposure, they are far from fatal.
Tokyo reported slightly elevated radiation levels, but officials said the increase was too small to threaten the 39 million people in and around the capital, about 170 miles (270 kilometers) away. Closer to the stricken nuclear complex, the streets in the coastal city of Soma were empty as the few residents who remained there heeded the government's warning to stay indoors.
Kan and other officials warned there is danger of more leaks and told people living within 19 miles (30 kilometers) of the Fukushima Dai-ichi complex to stay indoors to avoid exposure that could make people sick.
"Please do not go outside. Please stay indoors. Please close windows and make your homes airtight," Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano told residents in the danger zone.
"These are figures that potentially affect health. There is no mistake about that," he said.
Weather forecasts for Fukushima were for snow and wind from the northeast Tuesday evening, blowing southwest toward Tokyo, then shifting and blowing west out to sea. That's important because it shows which direction a possible nuclear cloud might blow.
The nuclear crisis is the worst Japan has faced since the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II. It is also the first time that such a grave nuclear threat has been raised in the world since a nuclear power plant in Chernobyl, Ukraine exploded in 1986.
Some 70,000 people had already been evacuated from a 12-mile (20-kilometer) radius from the Dai-ichi complex. About 140,000 remain in the new warning zone.
The International Atomic Energy Agency said Tuesday that Japanese officials told it that the reactor fire was in the storage pond — a pool where used nuclear fuel is kept cool — and that "radioactivity is being released directly into the atmosphere."
Workers were desperately trying to stabilize three reactors at the power plant that exploded in the wake of Friday's quake and tsunami, after losing their ability to cool down and releasing some radiation. Since the quake, engineers have been injecting seawater into the reactors as a last-ditch coolant.
A fourth reactor that had been shut down before the quake caught fire Tuesday and more radiation was released, Edano said.
The fire was put out. Even though the fourth reactor was shut down, the fire there was believed to be the source of the elevated radiation.
"It is likely that the level of radiation increased sharply due to a fire at Unit 4," Edano said. "Now we are talking about levels that can damage human health. These are readings taken near the area where we believe the releases are happening. Far away, the levels should be lower."
He said another reactor whose containment building exploded Monday had not contributed greatly to the increased radiation. Edano said that reactor, and another, Unit 3, had stabilized but the status of Unit 2 was unclear.
Temperatures in two other reactors, units 5 and 6, were slightly elevated, Edano said.
"The power for cooling is not working well and the temperature is gradually rising, so it is necessary to control it," he said.
Officials said 50 workers, all of them wearing protective radiation gear, were still trying to pump water into the reactors to cool them. They say 800 other staff were evacuated. The fires and explosions at the reactors have injured 15 workers and military personnel and exposed up to 190 people to elevated radiation.
In Tokyo, slightly higher-than-normal radiation levels were detected Tuesday but officials insisted there are no health dangers.
"The amount is extremely small, and it does not raise health concerns. It will not affect us," Takayuki Fujiki, a Tokyo government official said.
Kyodo reported that radiation levels nine times higher than normal were briefly detected in Kanagawa prefecture near Tokyo and that the Tokyo metropolitan government said it had detected a small amount of radioactive materials in the air.
Edano said the radiation readings had fallen significantly by the evening.
Japanese government officials are being rightly cautious, said Donald Olander, professor emeritus of nuclear engineering at University of California at Berkeley. He believed even the heavily elevated levels of radiation around Dai-ichi are "not a health hazard." But without knowing specific dose levels, he said it was hard to make judgments.
"Right now it's worse than Three Mile Island," Olander said. But it's nowhere near the levels released during Chernobyl.
On Three Mile Island, the radiation leak was held inside the containment shell — thick concrete armor around the reactor. The Chernobyl reactor had no shell and was also operational when the disaster struck. The Japanese reactors automatically shut down when the quake hit and are encased in containment shells.
Olander said encasing the reactors in a concrete sarcophagus — the last-ditch effort done in Chernobyl — is far too premature. Operators need to wait until they cool more, or risk making the situation even worse.
The death toll from last week's earthquake and tsunami jumped Tuesday as police confirmed the number killed had topped 2,700, though that grim news was overshadowed by a deepening nuclear crisis. Officials have said previously that at least 10,000 people may have died in Miyagi province alone.
Millions of people spent a fourth night with little food, water or heating in near-freezing temperatures as they dealt with the loss of homes and loved ones. Asia's richest country hasn't seen such hardship since World War II.
With snow and freezing temperatures forecast for the next several days, shelters were gathering firewood to burn for heat, stacking it under tarps and tables.
Though Japanese officials have refused to speculate on the death toll, Indonesian geologist Hery Harjono, who dealt with the 2004 Asian tsunami, said it would be "a miracle really if it turns out to be less than 10,000″ dead.
The 2004 tsunami killed 230,000 people — of which only 184,000 bodies were found.
Rescuers were heartened Tuesday to find one survivor. Osaka fire department spokesman Yuko Kotani says a 70-year-old woman was found inside her house that was washed away by the tsunami in northeastern Japan's Iwate prefecture. The rescuers from Osaka, in western Japan, were sent to the area for disaster relief.
Kotani said the woman was conscious but suffering from hypothermia and is being treated at a hospital. She would not give the woman's name.
The impact of the earthquake and tsunami dragged down stock markets. The benchmark Nikkei 225 stock average plunged for a second day Tuesday, nose-diving more than 10 percent to close at 8,605.15 while the broader Topix lost more than 8 percent.
To lessen the damage, Japan's central bank made two cash injections totaling 8 trillion yen ($98 billion) Tuesday into the money markets after pumping in $184 billion on Monday.
Initial estimates put repair costs in the tens of billions of dollars, costs that would likely add to a massive public debt that, at 200 percent of gross domestic product, is the biggest among industrialized nations.
Yuta Tadano, a 20-year-old pump technician at the Fukushima plant, said he was in the complex when quake hit.
"It was terrible. The desks were thrown around and the tables too. The walls started to crumble around us and there was dust everywhere. The roof began to collapse.
"We got outside and confirmed everyone was safe . Then we got out of there. We had no time to be tested for radioactive exposure. I still haven't been tested," Tadano told The Associated Press at an evacuation center.
"I worry a lot about fallout. If we could see it we could escape, but we can't," said Tadano, cradling his 4-month-old baby, Shoma.
The Dai-ichi plant is the most severely affected of three nuclear complexes that were declared emergencies after suffering damage in Friday's quake and tsunami, raising questions about the safety of such plants in coastal areas near fault lines and adding to global jitters over the industry.

I'm thinking U.S. based readers might like to view a jetstream animation of wind flows across the Pacific to the U.S. mainland.
Unless there's a major explosion lofting radioactive material into the upper atmosphere there's little risk of heavy doses reaching the U.S. mainland.
Seemingly California, Oregon and even SW Washington were I live could be affected, but again the dose will be quite low. Everyday of our lives we are bombarded by highly active particles from the sun, gamma and cosmic rays from space etc. Our upper atmosphere protects us to some degree, but particles do get through. In fact neutrinos from the core of the sun pass through the entire earth as if it's transparent. In our lifetime collisions with our cell mitochondria can cause mutations etc., up to and including cancer so it's not as if we aren't living in a sea of such radiation on a daily basis.
There's no reason to panic. We have to wait and see. Hopefully the Japanese nuclear team has a backup plan to cover this mess as the Russians did at Chernobyl in '86' with massive amounts of concrete and earth. Possibly ore rich in lead could be brought for the mounding. There's no shortage of lead and the ore would be fairly inexpensive to refined lead itself.
There's a rumor that "Homeland Security" has put "Mother Earth" on the terrorist watch list. ; )
Carl Nemo **==
It may not be time to panic Carl but I just read that the dome on one of the affected reactors is cracked. What an east meets west scenario when conscidering who's up or down wind. Bit of a mute point at this time don't you think ?
There's also lots of squawking in the air about Japans Nuke regulators having tongues tied and broad safety brushes to paint over cause and effect for sub par construction.
We continually push the envelope inventing ways to explain in hindsight dangers that profit driven machinery cannot back up. Easy as ABC certainly does not apply, No ?
A devout friend nearly remarked, Rapture, today,
a Holistic one, said Maya,
to which I replied in both cases,
Man spelled upside down is Wau.
Check that, now it's official that the reactor is on fire with the other three in my IMHO, no doubt to follow suit.
Where is, that confounded Bucket list ?
Hi Bryan,
I've been watching CNN coverage of the disaster. They had an expert concerning nuclear safety discussing this type of reactor, the GE Mark I's. Seemingly there are 32 of them worldwide and they were classed as 'unsafe' from the get go concerning containment issues…!? He unequivocally said they need to be phased out, all of them. Japan operates a total of 55 nukes with more under construction. I'd say they are fully committed to the technology. Supposedly there's 23 of these Mark I's in the U.S. within 13 states.
One of the big design flaws is how they store their "spent fuel rods" without any type of containment for safety purposes. They are cooled by water since they are still 'hot' and also dangerous in a nuclear contamination sense. The rods are stored in a box like affair above ground with the rods at the top level. I'm surprised in that having been targeted with nuclear weapons at the tail end of WWII that they'd be 13th octave 'safety bears' concerning the construction of these facilities, along with many redundant safety measures covering just about every scenario including a massive tidal wave, but seemingly not. If they had been tsunami conscious then they should have build 50 foot high reinforced concrete seawalls in front of the reactors complex on the beach front to break the massive inflow of water from the ocean in a convex shape abuttng the ocean just like a high dam used for power generation.
I don't like the looks of this entire site arrangement. Also why so many reactors at one site in a row nextt to the ocean on one of the most active geological zones in the world? Whatever the outcome it's going to be a protracted, ugly affair. Poor poor Japan… : (
The upside to this disaster is that a review of all 104 reactors in the U.S. are as of now being analyzed for safety issues relative to geologic upheavals etc. I've posted comments about thorium powered reactors. The industry needs to get motivated and move away from older uraniium based technology to the infinitely safer thorium based reactor design consequences to the uranium producers be damned. .

I'm out looking for my grand children who won't have the window or the proverbial bucket, but hopefully the ability to procreate whilst not glowing in the dark..
It's quite grotesque what radiation does to the human form, funny how that isn't a prominent thing in the bucket right now.

It's no longer a matter of conjecture that in a moment of grief while in the wings awaiting, man will dream singular futures, and it is his nature as lesser men take everyone and everything he creates with him, to ruin..Preoccupied.

Ah, I see your logic. Money is the root of all evil, ipso,facto: the more money you have, the more evil you are. That's a beautiful set of logics. You feel the "Americans are fat enough!"; evil enough. What do you think about Thomas Edison, Eli Whitney, or Henry Ford? Whose evil money did they use to further their research, their industry, their rebuilding efforts? I think you confused "paper-ideology" with real-life ideology. A conservative capitalism has been around since civilization crawled out of the muck. It's what the "have-nots" attack first about the Jews. But when city-states needed ships for a Navy, they borrowed from the Jew and others like him. Countries that do well, prosper. People don't become evil from that.
Quit worrying about what the rich are doing and worry about what you will be doing if BHO get elected. 47% be damned. Freeloaders have to vote. Give them something they want and they'll vote for you!
I know. That's why I said specifics count, not promises.
Name an "old-money Republican" and his net worth? What about DEM millionaires that made their millions off of bribes and payola while in office like Pelosey or Reed. There's a special place in hell waiting for them..
You are correct. She did. Mitt & Ryan donated $6 Million to charity. I wonder what her and Bill, & Obama & wife did last year.
I'm an independent voter. I have held off on making a decision until BHO publishes his economic plan. I want to see what each does, side by side. If a plan isn't specific, that's a negative. If I like what it will do, that's a positive. The winner gets my vote. This all has to happen before midnight on the 1 of November. Senate & House candidates face the same deadline. Some GOPs are ahead and some DEMs are out front. I don't drink. Gave that up with my youth. Rum & Coke was my sipping drink.
In response to:
Anybody remember what FICA stands for and what it is earmarked for? Currently there is a cap on it; earn above the cap and all you have to pay is just the cap amount. That sounds like a break for the rich, monies that could help keep us afloat. Fair is fair, guys.

Ryan Gosling Bodybuilding Journey
Ryan Gosling's journey from being a skinny teenager to a muscled up hunk is an inspiration for all the people who want to achieve a perfect physique. Many people get into bodybuilding routines for a beefed up and muscular body. However there are a few things you should keep in mind to achieve your goal faster and in a better way.
If you are interested in the exact workout Ryan Gosling uses to stay in shape CLICK HERE.
The exercises and diet should be in accordance with your physical well being and nutritional requirements. Every person responds differently to diet and exercise. If you have a good metabolism you can snack on fatty foods as the tendency to put on weight is very less however if your aim is to have a perfectly chiselled body you should avoid fats and increase your protein intake. Ideally a low carb low calorie diet and sufficient amount of vegetables, fruits and meat in your food would help you realize your goal faster.
Ryan Gosling has a very good metabolic rate and he was quite a skinny teenager. But things have changed since then and there has been a huge transformation in his physique since his teenager days to his current enviable form. Ryan Gosling is a workout wonder and his body is an evidence of hard work and dedication. He has a perfectly beefed up upper body with muscular shoulders and chest, a slim waist and toned legs which provide the v-shaped taper to his physique.
Ryan Gosling Bodybuilding Routine
To build a body like Ryan Gosling's, you should do weight and strength training along with some strategic bodybuilding exercises. Ideally the exercise regimen should include upper back training, exercise for incline muscles, and chest and shoulder exercises with intense intervals of sprints for strengthening leg muscles. 5-12 repetitions of different sets of exercises are considered ideal to build up dense muscle. However you should try to keep the volume per exercise around 30, i.e. 30 repetitions divided into 5 or more per set of exercise. More information about the Ryan Gosling workout routine can be found here: Ryan Gosling Workout Routine revealed
Ryan Gosling Bodybuilding Strategy
The Ryan Gosling bodybuilding routine includes working with incline flyes, Dumbbell, bench press and barbell for the upper chest and shoulders. To further build up the volume of shoulder muscles he exercises with seated dumbbell press, rear delts, lateral and front raises. He also does pull ups and regular intense intervals of sprints on a treadmill for a slimmer waist and toned legs.
While working out for 'The Notebook' the star snacked on a lot of high calorie fatty food. Though he does not have a tendency to put on weight, he still had a little bit of fat on his waist and lower stomach. But he has completely remodelled his body for "Crazy, Stupid, Love." and he is looking the most muscular and lean nowadays than ever, all thanks to his bodybuilding exercise routine. He has achieved a perfect physique which is neither beefy nor skinny. His bodybuilding journey has been the most interesting as the results are spectacular. His Adonis like physique complete with the photoshop abs is a result of extensive training with frequent intervals of rest and diet control.

As a gamer. And cat-lover. Here's Catsassin's Creed Unity! And it features kittens!
As a gamer. And cat-lover. Here's Catsassin's Creed Unity! And it features kittens!
As of today, Casa Laguna has a new little friend. It's a kitten! And it's name is "Tesla"
I got a new scratchingpole! And it's AWESOME!
This is a rant. So, it's not well supported by arguments. But bear with me, ok?
Dus, vandaag is het in mijn wijk de maandelijkse "Houd de wijk schoon" dag. Niets op tegen hoor, ik ben blij dat ik in een, over het algemeen, nette en schone wijk woon. Maar ik heb toch een klein beetje moeite met de maandelijkse actie om al het zwerfvuil etc.
Everyone who needs backup, knows it's a problem. It's either paid, or crappy. In case you have a Raspberry Pi Colocation, it's not that hard actually, but you'll have to know a bit about setting up a secure shell via certificates (trust me, you want this ;) )
For a long time now, one of my Raspberry Pi's is running on OpenElec as Mediacentre PC. Here are a few tricks I've implemented to improve my experience with the awesome Raspberry Pi.
This post is in no way coherent. I'm sorry! I'll be rewriting to make it better in the following days.
So, this is about getting PHPUnit to work on WAMP. The problem with a lot of frameworks, is that they don't detect PHPUnit 4.x yet. To resolve this, you need to downgrade to PHPUnit 3.5.
So, yes, this is a long story. It starts back in the days, when I was 5. Back than, I got a disease which would scar me for life and possibly send me to an early death. It's that harsh.
Tja, ik heb het niet zo op recruiters.
So, who gives a shit??? Do you really think leaving WhatsApp does something? Do you really think Facebook cares? Do you really think Telegram is safer? Do you really think you're making a difference?
It all started on february the 14th. I, slightly jokingly but mostly seriously, suggested, there should be a Silverstripe Europe meetup.
Yes. Death to the so called "Mobile web". It's one of the most annoying things a website can do.
Yes, I know, I'm repeating myself. But Seriously, the Surface is an awesome product.
Yeh. "I want", "small", "now". You got me. Angry for the most part. It's hard to translate to English, but in the Netherlands, there's a way of asking things. Translated, it's a bit like "Please fix this in a few minutes".
This is a small tutorial on how to set up WAMP with multiple websites on your development system.
I've been preparing this meetup for a few months already. Making sure everybody knows about it and more importantly, get some VIP's to talk about Silverstripe. Catering and such was all arranged, thanks to we::code and for me, the bigger part was getting people to talk.
If you are Dutch, read on! If you aren't, you should read on too.
So, I got a Surface RT last friday and I decided to write a review about it.
I'm kinda tired of it. It's going beyond ridiculous. I've had enough of this bullshit. I can't be the only one!
And I'm ok with that.

Exploring heterogeneity in preferences for offshore functions, governance modes and locations
AbstractUsing survey data from the Offshoring Research Network on offshoring by firms in the United-States (US) and Europe the paper explores whether preferences for offshoring certain functions, using particular governance modes, and in specific locations vary depending on the country of origin of the company making the decision. It assesses the heterogeneity between the US and Europe as well as across European countries and concludes that intra-European heterogeneity in offshoring practices is as high as heterogeneity between US and EU as a whole. The paper also shows that differences in functions offshored explain only a limited portion of differences in governance modes and offshore locations selected.

The residents of this group typically occupy low quality terraces and small flats in cosmopolitan towns and suburbs. The majority rent social housing from the council or through housing associations, although some are struggling to pay a mortgage. Within these neighbourhoods live poorly paid office and manual workers. Educational attainment is very low and unemployment is the highest in the UK. These are generally family and single areas. They are typically credit hungry, striving to make ends meet and are often unable to meet repayments. These individuals more often than not read the tabloid press.

Niagara Falls is on my list of places I've always wanted to visit. And one day when I am finally able to make the day's drive up there to what is one of the most majestic spots on the planet, I'm sure the locale's other claim to fame will unfortunately not be lost on me: one of the world's biggest suicide destinations.
About 20-25 people commit suicide there every year, and yesterday saw it's latest tragedy: A middle-aged woman was swept over Horseshoe Falls, the largest and most recognizable of the three falls -- pictured above. How horrifying is that?
Authorities aren't releasing the woman's name right now, but the 51-year-old Canadian apparently didn't have to travel far like others have done to accomplish her deed. She lived right there in Niagara, Ontario. She must have visited these grand falls many, many times. Maybe with her own parents and her children, if she has any. Some of her fondest memories were probably made there. I know if I lived there, my kids and I would be visiting all the time. There is something undescribably magical about those falls and the power they hold -- at least what I've experienced in pictures and videos.
And well as something ominous and certain.
Surviving that 173 foot drop caught in 600,000 gallons per second going over those falls in the daytime would be nothing short of a miracle. She must have known that. Tourists saw the woman swimming in the river above the falls and get caught in the rapids. She was swept over the brink and plummeted to the bottom.
Imagine the horror of the tourists and their children aboard the Maid of the Mist tour boat which rushed to the drop point and several workers retrieved the woman's body. It was too late.
Between 1856 and 1995 there were 2,780 known suicides at Niagara Falls. Surprisingly, this ranks only about the third most popular site in the world. What beats it? Mount Fuji in Japan, which gets about 70 suicides a year. The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco gets about 30 a year.
Everyone tends to think of popular vacation spots as the place to go when you are happy. You take lots of photos to bring home with you, to relive the memories and the wonder of nature again and again, year after year. Unfortunately not for all.

This is really sad. Without getting morbid here, I have to wonder why someone would choose a death like that when contemplating suicide. Presumably, you could drown to death, hit a rock, get crushed. I can't imagine choosing that when-- and obviously I'm no expert on this, but I assume-- there are much easier and less painful ways.
The canadian side has the worse views than the american side, but you have to go through the ghetto to get to the falls. Niagara Falls is so crappy that Shred and Regan on 103.3 theEdge, has a segment that reads the Falls police blotter.

What good will you do this day?
'What Good Shall I Do This Day?' Asked Benjamin Franklin Every Single Morning
- Yasha Wallin wrote in Living, Creativity and Lifestyle
We all have different ways of working. Some make lists of their day ahead, others charge right in and see where that takes them. Benjamin Franklin, inventor of the lighting rod and the odometer to name a couple, not to mention his work as a author, printer, political theorist, politician, postmaster, scientist, musician, inventor, satirist, civic activist, statesman, and diplomat, was a list man. How he managed to get everything done in 24 hours still seems like a miracle, but clues to his productivity lie in looking at his daily schedule.
