Sales of previously owned U.S. homes climbed in October, indicating gains in the real estate market are being sustained by cheap borrowing costs.
Purchases of existing houses, tabulated when a contract closes, increased 2.1 percent to a 4.79 million annual rate, exceeding the median forecast of economists surveyed by Bloomberg, figures from the National Association of Realtors showed today in Washington. The median price rose from a year ago as inventories dropped to the lowest level in almost a decade.
Propelled by the lowest mortgage rates on record, cheaper properties and improved consumer sentiment, housing is one of the economy's sources of strength. The pace of October sales underscores what Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke called "signs of improvement" in a market still hampered by strict bank lending standards.
"There's clear signs that people are moving back into the housing market," Mike Englund, chief economist of Action Economics LLC in Boulder, Colorado, said before the report. "Every measure of that market shows we have very tight inventories and we have continued demand. That presumably should be creating some updraft for the existing-home market."
Stocks extended gains after the figures, with the Standard & Poor's 500 Index rising 1.5 percent to 1,380.4 at 10:03 a.m. in New York.
The median forecast of 77 economists surveyed by Bloomberg called for home sales at a 4.74 million rate. Estimates ranged from 4.5 million to 5.05 million. The prior month's pace was revised to 4.69 million from a previously reported 4.75 million.
Median Price
The median price of an existing home climbed 11.1 percent from October 2011 to $178,600, today's report showed. The increase in October reflected a pickup in sales of more expensive properties.
The number of previously owned homes on the market decreased 1.4 percent to 2.14 million, the lowest since December 2002. At the current sales pace, it would take 5.4 months, the fewest since February 2006, to sell those houses compared with 5.6 months at the end of September.
Sales of existing single-family homes increased 1.9 percent to an annual rate of 4.22 million. Purchases of multifamily properties -- including condominiums -- rose to a 570,000 pace from 550,000.
Purchases climbed in three of the four regions, reflecting a 4.4 percent increase in the West, a 2.1 percent gain in the South and a 1.8 percent rise in the Midwest. Demand fell 1.7 percent in the Northeast, reflecting a slowdown in purchases due to superstorm Sandy.

Kids Space Themed Hydro Umbrealla
This navy kid-size umbrella features a fun space design that changes colour when it gets wet. The perfect thing to brighten up a dreary day.
How does it work:
The hydro chromatic ink on the umbrella is white when dry but turns transparent with the application of water. So when it rains the space scene magically reveals a rainbow of colour to brighten up a wet and dreary day.
The umbrella has a blue handle, is made of plastic and is 70cm in diameter, making it large enough for children up to 10 years of age (approximate). Dimensions: open umbrella diameter is 70cm, and umbrella length is 58cm.
Not suitable for children under 3 years of age.
Colours vary

Last week, Panama hosted the XXII Energy and Environment Partnership (EEP) Central American Regional Forum, an event designed to present examples of EEP-funded projects that show productive uses of energy in the Central America region.
Created in 2002 during the United Nations World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg, South Africa, the EEP aims to contribute to sustainable development and climate change mitigation in Central America through the promotion of renewable energy. The effort is supported by Finland's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in coordination with the Central American Integration System and the Central American Environment and Development Commission, and by the Austrian Development Cooperation.
Over the last decade, the EEP has supported more than 280 projects in Central America with a total of €13.9 million, 80 percent of which was used exclusively for project funding. At the recent Forum, Dr. Salvador Rivas, regional coordinator of the EEP, summarized the projects implemented to date and noted that the EEP's strategy model is grounded on four pillars: pilot projects, energy and environmental policy, capacity building, and market development.
Geographically, the EEP's Central America projects are relatively evenly distributed, with the majority awarded to Nicaragua and Guatemala. By technology, most projects rely on solar photovoltaic (PV) and small hydroelectric systems, with a smaller number using biogas, biomass, biofuel, wind, and concentrated solar technologies, among others. Notable examples included concentrated solar fruit dryers in Guatemala, biogas production from a pineapple factory in Costa Rica, solar water pumping for salt production in Panama, a solar PV drip irrigation system for a flower and vegetable farm in Nicaragua, and a solar oven for wood drying in El Salvador.
After Dr. Rivas's presentation, Worldwatch President Emeritus Christopher Flavin made the case for renewable energy in Central America, referring often to the recent Worldwatch report The Way Forward for Renewable Energy in Central America, which was distributed to all participants in Spanish. Describing the rising global use of renewable energy and its unparalleled growth, Flavin made clear that the time for renewables, especially wind and solar, is here. He noted that Central America is already a leader in this area, given its high shares of renewables in the electricity sector—up to 91 percent in Costa Rica—due mainly to large amounts of hydropower. Nevertheless, the region is poised to increase its share of other renewables, such as wind and solar, because "this is a resource basis that is quite larger than fossil fuel resources."
Flavin also compared the average annual solar radiation of major cities in Central America to that of Berlin and Washington, D.C., noting that the cost to produce solar power in Central America is much cheaper than in those cities, and thus competitive with current fossil fuels. He concluded with four key recommendations for the region: (1) develop a sustained renewable energy market and ensure that the appropriate policy framework is in place; (2) conduct an assessment of local renewable resources, including evaluating the current electricity grid and future growth plans as well as localized costs and returns for both centralized and decentralized energy sources; (3) offer appropriate financing methods to overcome the obstacle of high upfront costs, and emphasize the lower lifetime costs of renewable over fossil fuel generation; and (4) ensure integrated and long-term planning for sustainable development.
Other keynote presenters included: Rebeca Ramirez from the Panamanian National Energy Secretary, who spoke about Panama's renewable energy policy; Israel Torres from the Panamanian National Environment Authority, who discussed Panama's climate change mitigation strategy; Jefferson Toyama from the International Center of Renewable Energies-Biogas, who described the Itaipu Hydroelectric Project, on the border between Brazil and Paraguay, and associated renewable energy projects; Marina Stadthage of Network of Women Entrepreneurs of Nicaragua, who explored women's role in energy and climate change; Heidi Deman from the Regional Program of Food and Nutritional Security, who addressed the cultural and socioeconomic impacts of firewood use for cooking; and Carlos Boj from the Central American Bank for Economic Integration, who presented on financing "green" small and medium-sized enterprises. The forum also featured three panels profiling examples of EEP renewable energy projects.
The event illustrated clearly that the efforts of the EEP and other relevant institutions are having a positive impact on the development of renewable energy in Central America. The numerous pilot projects have served as proofs of concept for integrating renewable technologies into various industries, providing them not only with cleaner sources of energy, but also with future economic savings. In addition, many of the projects have benefited communities that lack access to electricity, through the support of local organizations working on rural electrification and green cookstoves. These efforts have been paired with capacity building initiatives in hydroelectric power, solar PV, solar water heating, and biogas systems. In addition, many Central American countries are taking strides in renewable energy policy and fiscal incentives.
Even with these concrete efforts, however, regional obstacles to the widespread use of renewable energy technologies remain. Financing institutions continue to assess renewable energy projects as very risky, and project developers, businesses, and the wider public often are unaware of or do not completely understand the policies that are in place. Meanwhile, the social and economic benefits of renewable energy in a region that is dominated by high fossil fuel prices have not been clearly communicated, and there remains a lack of technical capacity for non-conventional renewable energy sources and grid integration of renewables.
Over the next 10 years, with support from the EEP and other innovative funding sources, it is hoped that Central American governments will focus on overcoming these obstacles and truly spark widespread renewable energy development in the region.

Upgrade Your Cutterhead
Segmented knives reduce tearing and noise. But do you need to upgrade both planer and jointer?
By Glen D. Huey
Page: 42-47
If you purchased your jointer or planer a couple decades back, or if you had a watchful eye on your woodworking
budget as you made your purchases, chances are your machine has a three-knife cutterhead installed. Did you choose wisely? Should you make a change? Today you have other options.
Other cutterhead options most common to home woodworkers and small production shops have small square knives spaced around the diameter and along the length of the cutterhead.
These cutterheads reduce the noise in your shop, mill figured woods better than straight-knife heads and make dust collection easier. However, they are more expensive and require installation in an existing machine. Is one option better than another? Is changing your cutterhead worthwhile?
Video: Watch the installation of a 20″ stagger-tooth with shear into a planer.
Article: Read Glen D. Huey's article about "The Right Way to Prepare Lumber."
Web Site: Visit Byrd Tool for cutterhead installation information."
To Buy: Grizzly.com has both cutterhead designs available for your machines.

The most hallowed of traditions of the employees of Great Lakes Airlines. Every March, all employees must grow a mustache for the duration of the month. The last day of February is the last day that the upper lip can be shaved. Then, during the last week of the month, the annual Mustache Bash is held and awards for various follicle cultivation achievements are distributed. Roots of this tradition are hazy, but most attribute it to a pollock captain and El Capitan
I can't wait for Mustache March, I've been massaging my lip for months to stimulate the follicles. I'm going to make Tom Selleck look like a fucking boy scout.
by Manic Hispanic February 11, 2009
Much like Black History month is to African Americans, the month of March pays homage to the bold and the mustachioed.
Hey Rick check it out.
(Points to upper lip)
Just in time for Mustache March.

Just in time for Mustache March.
by BedfordSlims March 02, 2011
The cousin to the infamous no-shave-november, Mustache March is the month of the year in which men are required to grow out a mustache of some sort. The Standalone is the most acceptable mustache of march, but mustaches such as the French Mustache and The Handlebar Mustache are also very nice to see in Mustache March.

it sounds very wrong to me

Tecumseh High's wrestling team captured Saturday's Onsted Invitational, claiming the 10-team event with 351.5 points. Tecumseh's "B" team finished fifth in the 10-team event with 144 points.
Surprisingly, the Indians had just two champions. Ricky Azelton won the 103-pound championship and Drake Vandenberg won the 189-pound weight class.
Placing second for the Indians were Hayden Whitehead at 103, Drew Marten at 112, Kyle Humphries at 140, Mitch Meger at 145, Devin Moore at 160, Landon Pelham at 215 and Preston Pelham at heavyweight.
Scoring third-place points for the Indians were Robert Comar at 119, Jake Hilton at 125, Wyatt Cadmus at 130, Travis Byrd at 171, Cody McCrate at 215 and Kolin Connors at heavyweight. Taking fourth places were Nick Rutledge at 125, Tyler McLaughlin at 135, and DJ Tirado at 152.
Adrian finished in seventh place with 128 points and were paced by Joe Garcia who kept his season rolling winning the 112-pound weight class. The Maples had a pair of third place finishers with Enrique Casarez at 145 and Spencer Wells at 184.
Host school Onsted finished one spot below the Maples in eighth place with 118.5 points. The Wildcats did, however, crown an individual champion with Ben Pickford taking first in the 135-pound weight class. Isaac Westgate also performed well taking second place at 130.
Hudson at Canton Tournament: The Hudson High School wrestling juggernaut rolled on in Saturday's Canton Tournament, beating four Division I teams and a Division 2 team in the process in raising its record to 18-1 on the season. Hudson defeated Division I teams Dearborn Forsson, Monroe, Wyandotte Roosevelt and Canton and also Division 2 team Marysville.
Winning all five of their matches on the day for the No. 1-ranked (in Division 4) Tigers were Roddy Hamdan at 112 pounds, Kyle Johnson at 160, Tyler Grames and Cole Weaver at 140.
Madison at Manchester Invitational: The Madison High School wrestling team competed very well in Saturday's Manchester Invitational, going 4-1 on the day, and in the process taking down two Division 2 schools (Jackson, and Eaton Rapids), before succumbing to perennial power, and host school Manchester. The Trojans also beat Division 3 Leslie and Division 4 Homer. Madison moved their record to 14-4 in continuing their successful start to the season.
Scores on the day saw the Trojans beat Homer 63-16, Leslie 60-20, Jackson 60-16, Eaton Rapids 37-34, and losing to Manchester 62-18.
Madison had seven different wrestlers go 4-1 on the day. Frankie Nhaera at 103, Austin Wilt at 125, Isaiah Espinoza at 140, Nick Klemm at 145, Aaron Pifer at 152, Jake Hamilton at 160, and Garrett VanSickle at 171. Wilt and Espinoza both saw their only losses come to the defending state champion brothers Kanen and Zehlin Storr from Leslie in matches that could have easily been avoided, but instead were welcomed by the Trojan wrestlers as a bit of a measuring stick, and both Madison grapplers held their own.
The Trojans will take to the mat again next weekend at the Dave Elliott Invitational in Clinton.

SETTING: A clothing store with a rack of clothes on hangers, two cash registers on two counters with a sign over one of them that says, "SALE - 50% OFF! 4-5pm Today!". There is a red line down the middle of the store between the two registers.
(Lady walks to an empty checkout line in a clothing store, holding a shirt on a hanger that she expects to buy. No cashier is at the counter, but the Lady sees a sign: SALE - 50% OFF! 4 to 5pm Today!)
Lady:Perfect! Oh my goodness, 50% off, from 4 to 5 today!
(Looks at watch. )
It's 4:58, I still have a couple of minutes before the sale ends -- if I can find a cashier!
(Lady waits for a little while at the cash register, but no one helps her. A Cashier from another register calls to her.)
Cashier:Oh, Ma'am, I can help you over here.
Lady:Ok, thanks.
(The Lady walks to the other register and walks over the red line on the floor. The Cashier rings her up.)
Cashier:There you go. That'll be $11.95.
Lady:Miss, you didn't take 50% off this shirt. The sign over there says that this shirt is on sale from 4 to 5 today, and it's 4:58, so I still have a couple of minutes before the sale ends.
Cashier:Sorry, Ma'am. It's 5:58, so you're almost an hour too late.
Lady: It's 4:58!!
Cashier:Oh, I guess you don't know about the time zone. See, over there it's 4:58, but since you crossed that red line you're in a different time zone.
(Cashier points to a large red line going down the middle of the store.)
Cashier:The sale is over in this time zone. But there still might be some time left over in that time zone. Thank you!
(Cashier rings a bell on the counter. Lady looks blankly at the Cashier.)
Lady:(Bewildered, picking up the clothing.)
I better hurry.
(Lady runs back over to the cash register on the other side of the store, looking at the red line as she crosses it. She then puts the shirt on the counter. The same Cashier pops up from behind the counter with a new nametag and scans the shirt.)
Cashier:Can I help you, Miss?
Lady:You're the same cashier from over there! I want to buy this shirt!
Cashier:OK, Miss. That'll be $11.95 please.
Lady:Now, wait. This shirt is on sale and you didn't take 50% off!!
Cashier:That's because the sale just ended. It's one minute after five.
(Cashier pulls sale sign off the wall.)
Sorry! You missed the sale. Next time you shouldn't be so slow.
Lady:What?! This is ridiculous! I want to see your manager!
Cashier:Ok! The manager's on that side of the store. Thank you!
Lady:This store is a little wacky. I mean, a time zone? Give me a break.
(Cashier rings the bell. Lady crosses the red line again and stomps back to the other register in a huff. She rings the bell. The same Cashier pops up with a manager's hat.)
You again?! I want to speak to the manager!
Cashier:On this side of the store, I AM the manager!
(Cashier looks at watch.)
Oops! We can't answer your question. We closed at six!
(Cashier puts a "Closed" sign on the counter and rings the bell.)
Lady:(Lady runs out of the store.)
Cashier:Some people.

DUBLIN, Ireland, April 26 (UPI) -- There is a consensus among European energy and environment chiefs backing new 2030 greenhouse gas reduction targets, Irish Energy Minister Pat Rabbitte says.
Rabbitte issued a statement after this week's informal meeting of EU energy and environmental ministers in Dublin indicating that while significant national differences remain on what form they should take, a broad consensus exists on the need for a new set of climate change targets after the current binding framework expires in 2020.
The meeting came after the European Commission last month issued a "green paper" formally opening debate on setting new post-2020 targets, citing the need to provide certainty for investors in alternative energy projects by 2015.
Rabbitte, whose country holds the rotating EU Council presidency, added that while there was agreement on the need for EU-wide 2030 targets, the ministers recognized they must be achieved in a way that keep energy costs down so that European industries can remain competitive, especially in light of the development of cheap shale gas in the United States.
They must also avoid triggering higher consumer energy prices and producing shortages in energy supplies, he cautioned.
"This joint discussion was timely and ministers recognize the need for greater certainty on targets, in mutually supporting the achievement of cost-effective and cost-efficient climate and energy policies," he said. "There is potential for maximizing synergies while addressing the possible trade-offs between competitiveness, security of supply and sustainability."
Rabbitte also said the national leaders urged EU commissioners to take the flagging economies of member states into account when developing the new framework, which is likely to call for a 40 percent reduction of greenhouse gas emissions over 1990 baseline levels by 2030.
EU Energy Commissioner Gunther Oettinger said he was encouraged the ministers recognized the need for new targets, despite considerable differences on how they should be reached, the Irish online technology news publication SiliconRepublc.com reported.
"We should develop a common strategy, common energy and climate change policies ... and we should have binding targets," he said, adding, "No doubt member states have different energy mixes and shares, but our challenge, our ambition, is to come to agreement."
In the green paper, the commission says there is a consensus that to reach the European Union's Roadmap 2050 decarbonization goal of reducing emissions 80-95 percent, reductions will have to be stepped up from the 20 percent to be achieved in 2020 to 40 percent by 2030.
For renewable energy, the 2050 policy scenarios would require a 30 percent share for renewable sources in Europe's energy mix by 2030, up from 2020's 20 percent.
Meanwhile, the energy and environment ministers failed to send a signal support for the commission's bid to prop up the European Union's troubled emissions trading scheme by taking an oversupply of carbon allowances off the market via "backloading" them to 2018-20, the European Voice reported.
The future of the ETS is in doubt after the European Parliament this month voted down the effort, citing industry worries the move to boost record-low prices for allowances would hurt Europe's global competitiveness.

After ruling out food intolerances and other health problems, your health care provider will use several steps to find out if you have an allergy to specific foods. This assessment will include a detailed patient history, skin and blood tests, and possibly "challenges" (eating food under the supervision of a health care provider) and elimination diets.
The detailed patient history is the most valuable technique. Your provider will ask you several questions and listen to your history of food reactions to decide if the facts go with a food allergy.
You may be such questions as:
Sometimes your health care provider can't make a diagnosis solely on the basis of your history. In that case, you may be asked to keep diary of the contents of each meal you eat and whether you have a reaction. This gives more detail from which you and your provider can see if there is a consistent pattern in your reactions.
If your history or diet diary suggests a specific food allergy is likely, your health care provider will then use tests to confirm the diagnosis.
One of these is a scratch skin test, during which an extract of the food is placed on the skin of your lower arm. Your provider will then scratch this portion of your skin with a needle and look for swelling or redness which would be a sign of a local allergic reaction. If the scratch test is positive, it means that there is IgE on the skin's mast cells that is specific to the food being tested. Skin tests are rapid, simple, and relatively safe.
You can have a positive skin test to a food allergen, however, without having an allergic reaction to that food. A health care provider diagnoses a food allergy only when someone has a positive skin test to a specific allergen and the history of reactions suggests an allergy to the same food.
If you are extremely allergic and have severe anaphylactic reactions, your health care provider may not use skin testing because it could possibly cause a dangerous allergic reaction. Skin testing also cannot be done if you have eczema over a large portion of your body, or if you take certain medications.
In those cases, a health care provider may use blood tests such as the RAST (radioallergosorbent test) or the ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay). These tests measure the presence of food-specific IgE in your blood. As with skin testing, positive tests do not necessarily mean you have a food allergy.
Sometimes your doctor may recommend a food challenge.
Your doctor may recommend an open food challenge. You will start eating a small amount of a suspect food, and the food will not be "hidden" in another food. If you have no reaction, you will gradually eat larger amounts until you do, or do not, have a reaction. More than 80% of the time, people taking this test do not have a reaction.
If your symptoms don't help your doctor make a clear diagnosis, you may be asked to take a double-blind placebo controlled food challenge. This test is the gold standard of food allergy testing.
You will be given either the food that you are testing or another food that you can normally eat. However, you will not know when you are eating the food that you are being tested for. For example, if you are seeing your health care provider about an egg allergy test, you may be given bread made with eggs and bread made without. Neither your nor your health care provider will know which one has the egg. Only the person who makes the bread will. Other times, the food can be hidden in capsules to swallow, some of which contain the food suspected of causing an allergic reaction, and others containing a placebo (sugar pill). During the challenge you will swallow a capsule or eat the piece of food and be watched to see if you have a reaction. This process is repeated until you have swallowed all of the capsules or eaten all of the food. The advantage of this challenge is that subjective factors (the power of suggestion) plays no role in whether an allergic reaction is perceived. If you react only to capsules or food containing the food that is being tested, a diagnosis of food allergy is confirmed. If you react to the placebo and the capsules containing food, you are likely not allergic to that food.
This test is often performed in research studies of food allergies. The test also takes a lot of time to perform, and many food allergies are difficult to evaluate using this test. As a result, health care providers may not have proper medical staff to do this testing.
The next step some doctors use is an elimination diet. Under your health care provider's direction:
Your provider can almost always make a diagnosis if the symptoms go away after you remove the food from your diet
The diagnosis is possible if you then eat the food and the symptoms come back. You should do this only when the reactions are not significant and under a health care provider's direction. Your provider can't use this technique, however, if your reactions are severe or don't happen often. If you have a severe reaction, you should not eat the food again.

Great job for those who are trying to do Minagoroshi-hen in English.
I checked to see how it came out, and I was surprised. Although it was kind of slow for the game to start up, and some funky fast foward effects are in place, the translation itself was good.
The prologue itself is a great way to start off people on explaining what Rules X, Y, and Zs are, so I highly suggest people to start buying the game and playing it in English through this patch.
Hope you do well in your progress, ayyo.

Just for the record, if anyone has any problems installing it, like I did, this also works:
- Unzip the rar file into an 'English' folder in your main higurashi folder, wherever that may be.
- Run install.bat
- It'll eventually finish, now copy everything left into the English folder into your main higurashi folder so nothing's left.
- Run onscripter
Just finished reading it and it's reeeally interesting. Can't wait for more, I wouldn't have expected to enjoy the supernatural plot element but I'm really beginning to now. Surprise surprise.

kj - Thanks.
muu, funky fast forward effects?
And for the record, Valdra's method is unsupported by us and we won't offer a walk around if the second patch and so forth conflicts with it.
I'll advise trying your best to make it install and work properly the approved and supported way.

I just finished reading the prologue, and... it's amazing. I want to thank Ayyo, and everyone else working on this excellent english patch, and I want to thank you all for releasing the first patch so quickly. I watched the 26th episode this morning, and finished the first patch that night. Truly awesome. I hope you guys keep up your speedy, but still quality, efforts.
I also hope that once you're done with Minagoroshi-hen/Matsuribayashi-hen, you'll go on to do the other 6 chapters. Or if that isn't possible/seemed as a waste of time, then the three new chapters in the PS2 version could be translated. Though I might be hoping for to much. ^_____^

ayyo, you have my deepest gratitude for going forward with this project. Buen viento y buena mar.
ps. For those who want to run the game on fullscreen, onscripter has a switch for that.
1. Run command prompt
2. go to Drive:\Program Files\07th_Expansion\higurasi8\English\
3. run "onscripter --fullscreen" (without the quotes)
EDIT: *phew* I finally read the prologue. Awesome stuff.
hey ayyo, I was reading the prologue, and read something that may or may not be wrong:

The rules were interesting to read, and the whole "Strong Will" causing Y to occur. And all the stuff reguarding H____u is kinda confusing. It'll hopefully be cleared up right away.
EDIT: And about the Shion, that was just a mistake on the translators part, from the comments on the main translation blog page.

Thank yoy, thank you, thank you! By you I mean everyone involved in this translation project and also Valdra for the alternative installation method. The prologue was just what I needed to convince me I should not read the answered questions thread, despite the great temptation to do so.
Are we supposed to discuss the details and theories from the translated parts here or there will be some thread for this, while this one will be for notices, technical and translation issues and the likes?

Wow, I finaly played the game. Those rules were indeed very interesting.
But, I don't know why but I can only run the game if I use Valdra's method. I can't play the game if I run onscripter on higurasi7/English.

I was thinking about that. He could skip the translations on the TIPS and poems to speed up the releases. There's no need to retranslate/retype them if they're already posted here. Don't get me wrong, I would prefer them to be in the game but if it helps speed up the progress, I'm all for it.

Since "What are you doing?" is the first sentence of the translation, I assume it's a funky screwup that causes the translation to display instead of something that makes sense
It is nonetheless a pretty funny unwanted side effect ^.^
Apparently, someone worked out a way to make the installation a lot smoother, and even make it work on OS's without japanese support, so stay tuned for more ^^

Will it somehow hurt playing Minagoroshi if I change my Unicode back and forth from Japanese to English? I just found out that certain alt+numbers combinations don't work with the unicode in Japanese, so I'd prefer to keep it in English except when I want to play Japanese games (which won't be that often). If I keep changing it back and forth, will that in any way affect my game? Will it be alright as long as the unicode is in Japanese when I play?

4 Cam, Clegg and Ed want 'action', says Hacked Off. All three Party leaders met with representatives of Hacked Off yesterday and reportedly all said they "want to see action in this Parliament and as soon as possible" to regulate the press.
"All three leaders were ready to stand up to the propaganda and smear campaigns of some newspapers, who are trying to undermine Leveson before it has even reported. Finally, all of the leaders agreed that when Lord Justice Leveson has reported, there should be swift action."
6 Monty's Local World to resuscitate regional press. Seven years ago the Daily Mail & General Trust put Northcliffe up for sale with bids starting at £1.2bn – but withdrew the regional press group for sale after it failed to get the price it was looking for.

12 Newsnight is dying of shame… it is a ghost of its former self. Ex-BBC man Michael Cole writes:
"I am sad to see the BBC in crisis but not surprised. The rot set in years 30 years ago when the Oxbridge clever dicks ousted the seasoned journalists who had made BBC News trusted around the world.
"I saw it happen. When I joined the BBC in 1968, the senior journalists were people who'd learned their trade on regional and national newspapers. They would rather have died than broadcast an unchecked story, as Newsnight did, disastrously."
13 Give me a nose for news over cheque books and chancers. Former Daily Mirror editor David Banks on the death of The Sun's former medical editor Leslie Toulson:
Les was the editor's dream: a constant supplier of 'Hey, Mabel!' stories, particularly on sleepy Sunday afternoons when a Monday morning splash was always going to be hard to source. You might remember some of the stories he fished out of learned medical journals and remote scientific papers and laundered through the Sun into folklore:
Sardines Make You Randy, Scientists Prove . . . Sperm Swims Faster in Outer Space, Astronauts Warned . . . Cows Give More Milk Listening to Pop Music . . . Radioactive Fish Breed Better; every Toulson headline demanded an exclamation mark.
14 Leveson must mediate the clash between freedom and privacy. Head of journalism at City University on the "phoney war of words" being fought over Lord Justice Leveson's upcoming report.
"Is Leveson's choice on future regulation really a simple one between a tougher regulation system backed up by new law and a revamped version of the self-regulatory Press Complaints Commission?
"It isn't and it needn't be. There's a third, better way."
16Financial crisis: Good news for economics journalism. Sky News economics editor Ed Conway explains why economics has been the backdrop to some of the biggest stories over the past four years – and how some of his biggest scoops came from figures no one else had the appetite to dig into.
"It doesn't feel like all that long ago economics journalism was regarded as boring, inaccessible and hardly the kind of backwater an aspirant reporter should be aiming for. Perhaps if there's one good thing to come out of the financial crisis, it's to have put right this misconception."
18 Growing evidence journalists are a target in Gaza. T here was growing evidence this week that the Israeli Defence Force has been deliberately targeting the media during assaults on Gaza.
"Hamas chose, out of all the buildings in the Gaza Strip, to choose this building – the media, civilian building – to place its electronic infrastructure and communications on the rooftop. The target was on the roof and only that target was hit."
19 Never buy papers – they ruin your weekend. If you ask me with David Hepworth, a writer, broadcaster and editor who has worked on titles including NME, Smash Hits, Just Seventeen, Q, Empire, Mojo, More, Heat and The Word.

Eagle boys fly past Arthur Co., 62-32
The Brady boys basketball team used an aggressive 2-2-1 press to create turnovers and gain confidence throughout its 62-32 route of Arthur County Saturday.
The Eagles surged ahead 14-5 in the first quarter while limiting Arthur County's opportunities with Brady's pressure.
"That's the way a good press works," head coach Dave Jacobs said. "Turnovers make offense easier and that had a lot to do with our early success."
Arthur County turned around and handled the Brady press well in the second quarter, Jacobs said, scoring nine points and keeping the Eagles within reach, 24-14
Being up 10 at halftime, Jacobs said he told the players they need to be aggressive with their defensive ball pressure and they responded to the challenge.
Once again, the Eagles limited Arthur County to five points while they scored 18 in the third quarter extending the lead to 42-19.
Scoring success continued in the final frame as Brady scored 20 more points to defeat the Wolves 62-32.
Adding to the list of positives during the game, the Eagles had right players score. Spreading the points around on offense is something Jacobs said is key for future games.
"It's nice to see kids scoring. It helps round out the team," Jacobs said. "With Nate Sitorius being our leading scorer teams are going to try and shut him down."
Sitorius led Brady with 23 points.
Scoring by quarters:
Brady 14101820—62
Arthur Co. 59513—32
EAGLE SCORERS: Nate Sitorius 23, Troy Lusk 10, Chase Viter 10, Alec Trobaugh 5, Trevor Mann 5, Austin Widick 4, Brant May 4, Dayne Porter 1.

Between them, the 1997 Daily Press male and female high school Athletes of the Year have led their teams to five state championships.
Consider the hordes of athletes who never experience even one state title and it's clear how extraordinary the talents of Hampton's football-basketball wunderkind Ronald Curry and Bruton's track and field phenom Nicole Kelly are.
Expand that consideration and remember that these two head-turning talents have just finished their junior years. They have another year to pursue more championships and cause numerous sleepless nights for opposing coaches.
Curry, who also won this honor last year, will seek an unprecedented triple-double of state championships in his senior year: ``Triple'' as in leading the Crabbers to their third consecutive state football title, and ``double'' as in back-to-back basketball championships.
``I know it's going to be real tough trying to repeat those two championships,'' said Curry, who has a chance to equal Tabb football great Terry Kirby's feat of winning three consecutive Daily Press Athlete of the Year honors. ``But the desire to win them is just as strong because you always want to go out with a bang in your senior year.
``There's not much pressure because everybody on the team shares the load. I want this to be a fun year.''
Curry earned the state's Group AAA football and basketball Player of the Year honors from both the media and the coaches. In both sports, he improved in every major statistical category from his sophomore year.
In football he led unbeaten Hampton to a No. 1 national ranking, passing for 2,293 yards and 36 touchdowns. He added 902 yards and 29 touchdowns rushing. He scored 40 touchdowns himself on the most prolific offense in state history.
On the basketball court, the 6-foot-3, 190-pound Curry averaged 22 points, six rebounds, five assists and three steals. Hampton won its last 19 games and finished 26-3.
Curry will stay very busy this summer. His time will be split between AAU and Nike basketball competition, and some conditioning work.
``I'm going to the annual Nike camp July 5-11 and will play in the junior nationals and some other tournaments with the Boo Williams 17-and-under AAU team,'' he said. ``I also want to add about 10 pounds to my upper body and be at 200 for the football season.''
Curry, who wants to continue playing both sports in college, is calm and focused about all the recruiting hullabaloo he'll face.
``I'm going to take all five visits I'm entitled to after football season and won't announce my decision before January,'' he said.
Virginia, North Carolina and Florida State - not necessarily in that order - head his college wish list. Duke and Michigan have also gotten some lip service.
Like Curry, Kelly matured emotionally and physically to have a banner junior year that whetted followers' appetites for her senior campaign.
The 5-foot-9, 140-pound Kelly led Bruton to its second consecutive state Group AA girls track championship. She did it by winning the long jump and high jump, running the anchor leg in Bruton's decisive 1,600-meter relay victory and finishing second in the triple jump. She competed in seven events and was often scurrying back and forth from one competition to another.
``I've never seen anyone as consistent as Nicole,'' Bruton coach Emil Davis said. ``Her work ethic is the key thing. She worked hard every day and pulled a lot of our kids with her.
``That's the kind of leadership we needed. She made up a 15-meter deficit to win the 1,600-meter relay despite the drain of competing in all those other events. She'll go into next year with a whole lot of confidence. She's soft-spoken, but says all she needs to say with her performance.''
Kelly rates the three jumps - long, high and triple - and the 200 meters as her favorite events.
Her future could well be in the heptahlon, the seven-event competition that she finished fourth in at the indoor nationals in March. The heptahlon is composed of the long jump, high jump, shot put, javelin and the 100-, 200- and 800-meter runs.
``Having success in that national competition really helped my confidence for the outdoor season,'' said Kelly, who credits the efforts of her summer team coach Allen Overton for much of her heptahlon success. ``There was a lot of pressure this year for us to repeat at state, but our confidence grew after having success in some early meets.''
Another plus this year was Kelly avoiding injury for the first time in three years.
``I did a lot more conditioning this year getting ready for the season and that helped me,'' said Kelly, who said she was considering playing basketball for the Panthers next season.
Davis said he may ask Kelly to add the discus to her repertoire next season, filling an expected team void there.
``We're going to have to fill some holes caused by graduation, but with Nicole as the nucleus we can make a run at a third straight state title,'' the Bruton coach said.
That's fine with Kelly, who would like to add some state records to her already impressive resume.

And then there are mid century side chair to relax on, like your white side chair, eames side chair, tufted side chair or a leather wingback chair. These are slightly more expensive and are optional, but if you have the budget for it you can go ahead and invest in one. They are growing in popularity in homes nowadays due to the growing affluence of the population, and some designs can cost upwards of a few thousand. They can be found in any room of your house. When buying a target slipper chair for your home, it is always important to set aside a fixed budget for your purchase. You also need to know what type of chair you would require, and for what purpose. Explode different options, like evenflo convertible high chair or chair and a half recliner, depending on your requirements. Before making your purchase, always ask some important questions, like whether your ethan allen wingback chair has a warranty, whether your purchase comes with free shipping and assembling, and how to maintain your arm chair set in tip-top condition.
Make sure that the office chair that you will choose is capable of supporting the lower back as well as the users spine. If you can afford to, its best to go for ergonomic chairs because it is especially designed to give safety and maximum comfort. Be on the lookout for chairs that have the most adjustable features, but as a warning, do not choose office chairs that are way too comfortable. You do not want to see your employees getting too relaxed to the point that their chairs will make them fall asleep do you? Not to mention that they are taking a nap during office hours, at your expense.

Painting, design, sculpture, video, installation and photography. The Centre for Contemporary Culture Strozzina in Florence presents the second edition of Emerging Talents, an award and exhibition that calls attention to young Italian artists and gives the public and art critics alike an opportunity to survey the contemporary art scene. The 16 participating artists, selected by 4 highly established Italian critics and curators, deal with a variety of subjects and approaches ranging from the relationship with history to material experimentation, from acoustic and visual perception of reality to the relation with city space, to thoughts on the identity and the role of the artist in today's society.
Moleskine is taking part in this project with a (large) notebook, complete with specially personalized cover and paper band. This is not the first time that its collaboration with Palazzo Strozzi and the Centre for Contemporary Culture Strozzina has yielded special editions.
Luigi Presicce, this year's winner, was selected by an international jury comprised of Achim Borchardt-Hume (Whitechapel Gallery, London), Barbara Gordon (Hirshhorn Museum, Washington D.C.) and Adam Szymczyk (Kunsthalle Basel). The video "La benedizione dei pavoni" [The Peacock's Blessing] documents a performance for the celebration of Sant'Antonio Abate in Novoli (in the province of Lecce), where sacredness and magic come together. All the artists' works will be on exhibit at the Strozzina from February 19 to May 1. For more information: www.strozzina.org and www.palazzostrozzi.org

Rosie and the staff began today's program talking about last night's episode of America's Got Talent. Rosie said she almost called Janette after Prince Poppycock was eliminated. The Prince was Janette's favorite and she can't believe how invested she became in this season. Janette was happy that Michael Grimm won and happy that the little girl didn't. Bobby originally wanted the little girl to win and then he was happy when she didn't because he was worried about her becoming that famous at such a young age. Rosie thought that Michael's back-story was compelling and liked how sweet he was to the little girl when she didn't win.
Someone mentioned that it has been confirmed that Jennifer Lopez will be the new judge on American Idol and Deirdre read that J-Lo will be getting 12 million dollars a year for that job! Rosie was shocked at the 12 million and joked that she should have thrown her hat into the ring. She's happy for J-Lo though and she likes her a lot. The other judge is rumored to be Steven Tyler who Brendan said was not confirmed yet. Deirdre said she has heard that he has been confirmed and will be the next judge.
They discussed the prize for the winner of America's Got Talent which is a million dollars. It comes to the winner in an annuity that pays out $25,000 over 40 years. If they take it at face value they only get somewhere between $375,000-$450,000. They played a clip of Michael Grimm singing a duet with Jewel and someone brought up a YouTube video they once saw of Jewel doing undercover karaoke.
Rosie loves all the judges on America's Got Talent and she loves Sharon Osbourne. Except Rosie said she recently read an article on Perez Hilton from Vince Neil saying that Sharon was a horrible person. In response, Sharon has said that she always wanted to keep Ozzy away from Vince because he was a bad influence. They discussed his drunk driving accident in which he killed the passenger in his car and seriously injured the people that he hit. Rosie, Janette and Deirdre all said how much they loved Sharon and Rosie called her feisty and tenacious.
Janette thinks that 'America's Got Talent' is better than 'American Idol.' Pete agreed. Piers Morgan is staying on the show but is also taking over for Larry King which Rosie thinks is a good thing. Rosie said that Larry King was done the day he asked Pamela Anderson if her boobs were real. Pete once passed Larry King on the street and he thought he had just passed someone who was about to die and then he realized it was Larry King. Janette was on Larry King once to talk about her recovery from pain. Janette's doctor, Dr. John Sarno, was doing a segment on Larry King on pain and they asked Janette if she would participate. There was a time when Janette suffered from so much pain in her ankles that she couldn't walk and had to ride a scooter/wheelchair. This was when she was a producer at The Rosie O'Donnell Show. One doctor told her she would never get better and they would have to fuse her ankles. One sports doctor for the NY Giants told her she needed to get used to the pain because she wasn't ever going to walk again. Eventually Rosie had Janette on the show and told the public of her plight and asked for viewers suggestions. A previous guest called another producer on the show and told her to tell Janette and Rosie about Dr. John Sarno. Janette had heard of him but the title of his book was Healing Back Pain so she thought his methods wouldn't work for her. She decided to call Dr. Sarno and over the phone he told her he thought she was somaticizing the pain (that her emotional issues were expressing themselves physically in her body). Dr. Sarno asked Janette if she would be part of a 20/20 special he was doing and she said she would do it because she thought if her story was going to be on T.V. she thought he would try harder in curing her. And he did. After three years of chronic pain she was cured. She was diagnosed with TMS Tension Myositis Syndrome. If any listeners feel that they might have a stress related condition Janette recommended people go to TmsWiki Online. Janette says that she is "here by choice" meaning that she chooses to not let suicide be her out in this world. Rosie said that her kids are her "life-raft" and although she may have considered suicide once in her life, it's not an option now because of her kids. She discussed her own depression that she's been battling and how she's been feeling better now, but not totally back to normal.
Deirdre found a website called SecretsRegrets.com where an author asked readers what is the biggest regret of their lives. He has since made it into a book. Deirdre found it interesting that most of the regrets were about past relationships and she read a few of them to the listening audience. It made Deirdre ask herself if she has any regrets in her life. Deirdre sees her mistakes as learning experiences and says she doesn't necessarily regret those experiences because she is who she is today because of the decisions she has made. Rosie said that no one can ever just look back at their life regretting because it's a waste of time and the past is the past. Janette has a list of regrets but doesn't waste time on any of them.
Deirdre fears she might regret that she didn't have children. She's 44 now and Rosie said she could still get pregnant or adopt. Rosie tried to think of some regrets but couldn't really think of any that she would choose to share with the public. She did say that she regrets not putting more time into the variety show that they did in 2008. Rosie said it was thrown together at the last minute when she was busy filming America during a particularly bad time of her separation from Kelli. She also regrets her "non-existent" relationship with her sister.
Janette said she regrets that she stopped doing stand-up. Rosie argued with Janette and said that she hated doing stand-up at the time that she stopped and she was miserable. Janette said she had been doing stand-up for almost 10 years and she was burnt out. Rosie said that that is why regrets are stupid. She said you forget where you were when you made the decision in the first place. Bobby doesn't have any regrets. He said he's happy with everything that's happened in his life because that's brought him to where he is now. He said he did wish he would have paid more attention in Spanish class so that he could now speak another language.
Pete said he regrets that he didn't go to Astronaut Camp during the summer of 8th grade because he was having panic attacks and too worried that they would affect him at camp. I always wanted to go to Space Camp after I saw that movie! I tried to make my parents pay for me to go but we couldn't afford it at the time. Looking back now, I'm incredibly claustrophobic and had a panic attack once in an MRI machine so I'm not sure what I was thinking. Rosie said she's always wanted to go to Australia and now she's supposed to go to Costa Rica but she always ends up canceling. She said she worries she'd feel panicked and wouldn't feel good there so she ends up not going. She's not sure she regrets not going but she regrets what it does to her kids! Though they are sadly used to it now. Deirdre remembered that she had panic attacks in her 20s and it caused her to not do a lot of things that she wishes she would have now. Janette said she's very happy with who and where she is today though she does regret that she didn't stop hating herself earlier in life.
Rosie took several callers on the topic. The regrets from callers ranged from regrets about getting in debt with credit cards, to regretting being a bully as a child, to regretting committing an armed robbery! One caller regretted telling her father that she hated him the night he died of a heart attack. She knows her dad knew she loved him but she regrets that those were the last words she said to him.
Rosie said that yesterday Brendan tried to explain to the studio and the listening audience how Christine O'Donnell getting elected (in the primary) is a good thing for the Democrats. Here we go again, I'm sure I'm going to eff this up. Brendan said that there's a lot of information on Christine and her opinions because she's been on news for years as the "token right-wing Christian conservative." Rosie said that Christine has said some crazy shit and asked Brendan to play it. Brendan then played Christine O'Donnell speaking against AIDS education. Brendan said the most interesting things about this clip is that it wasn't that long ago, unlike her views on masturbation that they played on the air yesterday. He thinks it's interesting that we are still having the discussion as to whether condoms fight the AIDS virus. Brendan said that O'Donnell's opponent needs to now step up his game since she's gotten so much media exposure lately. Brendan compared her rise to that of Sarah Palin who he said now is the main backer of candidates that are winning their primaries. Rosie said speaking of regrets, how much do you think John McCain regrets picking Sarah Palin as his running mate?!
Someone (I believe it was Rosie) briefly mentioned that they saw Kathy Griffin on Jimmy Kimmel. Rosie said she loves her and called her a riot. Everyone in the studio agreed.
Rosie said her teeth are finally done. She said they're not "done, done" and she still needs an implant but they're practically done. Rosie joked about how much it bothers Tess, the dental assistant, when she curses. Tess even went to church on a Wednesday and prayed that Rosie wouldn't curse. Rosie said it's hard not to curse when you've been at the dentist every week since January!
Rabbi Shmuley Boteach from Shalom in the Home who was in the studio for the interview. Rosie told Rabbi, with a bit of humor, that she's wanted to be a Jew since she was a little kid and that people often accuse her of being a Jewish mother today. Rosie said that she grew up in an Irish Catholic family without a lot of love and she always envied seeing all the Jewish mothers dote on their children. Rabbi Shmuley said that he's always felt a little Irish and goes to Ireland often! He said that Ireland is very intrigued by the Jewish interpretations of sexuality. Rabbi Shmuley said he doesn't understand religious condemnation of human sexuality and said it's the only time in life when we shed all inhibition and awaken a fire within us that leaves us transformed. Yet religions only sees it as good for procreation.
Rabbi Shmuley's parents divorced when he was 8 and he said it robbed him of a feeling of stability. He said that he councils many couples and relationships aren't based on what you believe, they're based on what you do. He said his father worked very hard and he thinks his mother was very lonely. Rabbi Shmuley said the greatest sin in a marriage is neglecting your spouse. He talked about the importance of married couples modeling loving behavior towards each other because it gives children the sense that love is real and not mythical.
Rabbi Shmuley said he was bullied at the Jewish day school he attended because he wanted to fit in and wanted to be liked so badly that he tried too hard. He said he's amazed at some of the things he did and was even embarrassed to tell his wife some of the things he did to be liked as a child such as use his pocket money to buy pencils for other children so they would like him. He realized that all men want to be a hero to their wives and often don't want to admit their faults.
Rabbi Shmuley and his wife have 9 children and he said having a large family is the last acceptable prejudice. He said people oftentimes see families with many kids as backwards, etc. He loves having 9 kids and said they are the joy of his life. He and his family also live only about 15 minutes away from Rosie and they ride their bikes past where she lives often! Rosie and Tracy also have 9 kids living with them and she said she enjoys it but said it's often overwhelming for her.
Rabbi Shmuley said he's wanted to meet Rosie for a very long time. He said he's always deeply respected her because she's such a champion of the family and because she's so authentic and real. He was astonished at the way that Donald Trump was allowed to insult her in the way that he did. He said it shocked him that America thought it was okay the way Donald Trump spoke about her and called his behavior absolute misogyny. He said he had no manners and no decency. He said that Donald Trump crossed the line and should have been called out on it. He also loves Rosie's specials she's done on the Rfamily Cruises and on children and families. Here are some links to two if you would like to watch them: All Aboard and A Family Is A Family Is A Family.
Rabbi Shmuley said 'Shalom in the Home' did the first ever TV show highlighting two children of a lesbian couple that were bullied at school. He said that they ignored the issue that it was a lesbian family and dealt with only the issue in the family and about the bullying. The Rabbi said he has a strong evangelical Christian base which he appreciates but the homophobia that enters into religion startles him. He said the word abomination is used 122 times in the bible and if you're going to use it for homosexuality then it has to be the same for everything they call an abomination. He said we can disagree but we must agree that all families are special and all parents love their children. And Rosie said that homosexuality doesn't negate you from morality or from living a normal life. Rabbi Shmuley's brother is a gay and an Orthodox Jew. He said that it's been very challenging for him but he's very devout and a far better son and brother than he is.
Rabbi Shmuley said that when Dr. Laura converted to Orthodox Judaism and she became a huge champion and people in his religion were very grateful. Rabbi Shmuley felt differently because he said that he didn't want her to be the face of Judaism. He said that Judaism is not condemnatory and they don't curse people out. When Dr. Laura said that homosexuality was a "biological error" he published an article speaking out against her. She then told their mutual friends how much she dislikes him. He had guessed that she would leave the religion and one and half years later she did. She said she didn't find it as fulfilling as she thought it would be.
The Rabbi talked with Rosie about whether she would consider becoming one of the celebrities that endorse their Friday Family nights. Rosie said that she and her family have been doing Friday family nights for years. Rabbi Shmuley discussed his frustrations that there are often two issues that keep people away from religion - opposition to abortion and opposition to gay marriage. He talked about his frustrations that religions can be so condemnatory. He said he's torn over sexuality because the Torah says homosexuality is wrong but he doesn't want his brother to be alone for the rest of his life. Rosie once asked Kelli's mother when they were first dating if she would prefer if Kelli were alone for the rest of her life rather than be gay and she said yes!
Rabbi Shmuley seemed surprised that Rosie is a soccer mom and that she's not carried away with the whole fame thing. She explained that she never felt like she fit into the fame thing and she always felt like she connected more with "the help." Rabbi Shmuley said that fame is the ultimate form of idolatry and that's what killed Michael Jackson. Rabbi Shmuley knew Michael and said he was a decent man but he could no longer accept his own imperfections and flaws. When Rabbi Shmuley would point them out to him (as we all have imperfections and flaws) it unraveled their friendship. He also had no peer group.
You can go see Rabbi Shmuley debate the afterlife with Christopher Hitchens at Cooper Union NYC at 7pm tonight! Here is a link to a debate on God between Rabbi Shmuley and Christopher Hitchens if you cannot attend this evening's debate.
Rosie closed the show saying she would love for him to come back. I loved this interview. I have always felt lost when it comes to religion and listening to Rabbi Shmuley talk about his religion made me almost feel like I could belong somewhere. I would love for Rosie to have him on again. He sounded like such a loving man. One of my favorite interviews.
