Biking Around Ota City, Gunma, Japan
2007-12-01 09:33:00
Ota City is located 50 miles northwest of Tokyo, in Eastern Gunma, Japan. Known as the home of the car manufacturer Subaru, a subsidiary of Fuji Heavy Industries, Ltd. I noticed that the northern part of Ota is characterized by its farms, most of which produce rice. It is also known as one of the cities having one of the largest selections of bars in Japan. Many of them are found to the south of Ota Station, in the downtown area. When I go to Ota, I usually stop at Toys Are Us store where I can buy gifts for my nephews. They always like to have minnie and mickey stuffs. Of course I make sure they also have zoids and gundam collections. PC Depot and Yamada-Denki are my favorite places for my PC peripherals and electronic gadgets. From our dorm its just few minutes of biking.

Looking Around in Japan
2007-12-01 09:18:00
Every year I have training in Japan. I usually go wherever I wanted to go every weekend. Japan is such a wonderful place having over three thousand islands extending along the Pacific coast of Asia of about 70% to 80% of the country is forested and mountainous, which makes it unsuitable for agricultural, industrial, or residential use. Japan is generally steep elevations, climate and risk of landslides caused by earthquakes, soft ground and heavy rain.What I really want in Japan is in the fields of scientific research, technology, machinery and medical research. Japan's more important technological contributions are found in the fields of electronics, automobiles, machinery, industrial robotics, optics, chemicals, semiconductors and metals.

Gunman Opens Fire Inside Las Vegas Caesars Palace
2007-08-06 08:26:00
Two people were shot inside of the Caesars Palace Hotel & Casino on Saturday, following an argument that turned into a fistfight. A group of four men got into an argument with four others inside the hotel at approximately 4:00 a.m. One of the men, who was knocked down during the fight, left the scene -- only to return a short time later with a gun. The fight was apparently over a remark that was made about a woman in the group. The accused gunman, Richard Earl Shepherd, 34, is still at large. Authorities say he has an extensive criminal past.

Gunman In Melbourne - 1 dead, 2 critical.
2007-06-18 04:36:00
Eyewitness accounts state that: Photo thanks to news.com.auA man pulled a woman from a taxi on the corner of Williams Street and Flinders Lane, Melbourne early this morning. (He may have been in it, he may not have, I think he was)He pulled her by the hair from the car and an argument continued.Two male passerby's came to the woman's defense.The attacker pulled a semi-automatic handgun from his jacket and shot the woman and the 2 men. Then fled.Police are currently searching Melbourne for a 6' man, black jeans, denim jacket and short brown hair. I believe the rumor that he was seen running down St Kilda Road.Other rumors state that a gun and jacket have been found on a construction site nearby, so he probably is not armed.Another woman was punched in the face after leaving a nightclub just moments before. Was this related? I am sure we will find out in the near future.My two cents: The guy will get caught, he was believed to be known to the woman, if he had been out for the night...

This morning, i cycled back from work. Sapphire was also up at that early hour, and she was indiscriminately flipping through the TV channels when she chanced upon the news. A gunman had shot 3 people in a cafe at close range, 8.15am. He has not yet been found.Whoa!8.15am. I was on the roads cycling home.They are still searching for him. Sapphire emphasized that i should stay put at home today. I don't think that's a good idea though. My place is located very near the city, and am surrounded by all the major train stations, all the major train interchanges. And the location of the shooting? I think there's a tram that cruises through there back to my place. Ho ho ho. He could easily come to my area.Also, the air traffic has been pretty heavy around my area this morning. I would not be too surprised if they were police choppers.

When police spotted a gun-wielding suspect lurking in the shadows of a suburban front room, their response was swift. Armed officers burst into the house, shouted at the owner to lie on the floor, and ordered him to surrender his weapon. But efficiency turned to embarrassment when the "gunman" turned out to be a life-sized model of the video game character Lara Croft, complete with trademark outsized pistols.

Virginia Tech Massacre â€“ Gunman Cho Seung-Hui may be under the Influence
2007-04-23 09:08:00
According to the investigators at Virginia Tech, Cho may be under the influence of depression drugs which may cause suicidal behavior, psychosis and homicidal ideation. Some people couldnâ€™t help thinking about the Columbine High School rampage happened almost 8 years ago and wondered if antidepressants were involved. It is not possible that antidepressants are involved on these issues. It is very common story and most attacks are committed by those people under antidepressant medications. I wonder what the FDA would do next.

Author: Eric Subject: Evangelicals Re-Examine Youth Outreach After VA Tech Tragedy Posted: Sun Apr 22, 2007 11:48 pm (GMT -5) Evangelicals Re-Examine Youth Outreach After Virginia Tech Tragedy By Michelle Vu WASHINGTON – The solution to reaching the youth lies within the church, the family and each person, said a group of evangelical leaders grappling to understand what needs to be done to avoid another Virginia Tech shooting. For many of the Christian leaders – parents themselves of college students – the story of the 23-year-old gunman’s shooting spree was not just someone else’s story. In some sense, they said looking at their children and the younger generation they could relate to the isolation and hopelessness expressed by gunman Seung-Hui Cho. “I have three kids, two of them in college. I certainly thought about them when I heard what had happen at Virginia Tech,” shared Dr. Barrett Duke, the vice president of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics & Religi...

In the wake of the Virginia Tech massacre on Monday, just four days later we are witnessing another potential tragedy in the waiting at the Johnson Space Center in Houston. At this point there is not much known. Authorities are still assessing the situation. Right now Fox News is reporting that one person is dead along with the gunman, but this is yet to be confirmed by the police. They are not sure that this is not a domestic situation or work related - an employee or contractor that has access given by Nasa. Schools nearby are on lock down.

Please forgive my vent. (NASA Gunman)
2007-04-20 23:25:00
I'm sorry this is a tech blog and not a current events site, but I turned on the TV and noticed Wolf Blitzer covering the Gunman at Johnson Space Center. I was very frustrated that they did not report the story as an individual story. In fact there was not two minutes that would go by that they did not mention Virginia Tech in relation to this story. From what we can tell it is simply a disgruntled employee, who had no intention of a wide scale violence. Despite the clear differences in the story, almost no relation at all, they spent a significant amount of time trying in vain to tie these stories together. In fact Wolf spent about five minutes trying to tell us that Johnson Space Center is much like a college campus. There is not relationship in the two stories. Why do the report this way. CNN has become worthless.
