Where is the Blackmail? Only in the beginning of the story. Then the topic disappears.

10 Million divided by 20000 (estimated) gives 500 times. If it is for one year, this means, her poor daughter had to provide service more than once a day each day. So the police should be able to find enough evidence.

As I have learned during military service, there are several rules to follow, when using a gun:
1) Only load ammunition, when your are ready to shoot.
2) Make sure, the gun is secured.
3) Always remember, a loaded gun is dangerous. Don't point it at yourself or other persons.
4) Only when ready to fire, move the security lever.
5) If you don't need the gun for a while, unload it.
It seems the hunter violated most of this rules. Sorry for him.

Hakujinsensei:
Actually the financial situation for pregnant became more stringent. Now one has to pay 10 Man Yen in advance to the clinic as deposit and additionally a guarantor is needed. No joke - we are expecting our 3rd baby in April, and I noticed how the situation for pregnant mothers became more difficult.

Last time at Narita security check, I went through with my hand-luggage on the belt, and when I received it back, I noticed I had forgotten to take out the transparent bag with the liquids and toothpaste.
Nobody cared. No problem.

It seems this old man had a way too powerful car. He was not able any more to handle it. Maybe he should have changed to a model with lower power engine or even a K-car. Then the damage would have been smaller. Yes, this old man made a choice. He enjoyed his powerful car. Up to this one sad moment he lost control.

It might be an issue of price, too. In the beginning of the year I tried to find a decent blue-ray and Hard-disk recorder. Only in one shop in Akihabara at a ridiculous high price. Best deal in Ikebukuro, where Labi and Bic-camera are directly near to each other. Finally 29 percent off, while the paper advertisement for Yokohama area (both shops) was 15 percent and Ikebukuro was 20 percent. So the final price was even lower than the lowest offer at kakaku.com
There was a time not so long ago - approximately 2 or 3 years ago, when it was possible to find good prices at Akihabara. But then there was the big Yodobashi-camera store and the scene has changed.
Now I regard Akihabara just as a good place to buy toys for my children.

Look at the tiny wheels. No chance to climb or crawl down stairs. This security robot is not much bigger than the Wall-E toy, where my little 3year old boy is playing with (it also has a remote control).

If Toyota cuts jobs, maybe the local governments should reconsiders the tax breaks they gave to Toyota to set up local factories.

Well, the idea is interesting. Maybe it might be possible with a well-aligned array of glass-fibers to cloak part of the visible spectrum. The formulas in
http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/reprint/314/5801/977.pdf
are not so difficult. Maybe an intelligent array of mirrors (in some sense equivalent to glass-fibers) might do the trick. The more I think about it - in 2 dimensions it is easy to cloak a 1-dimensional object. And in 3 dimensions it is easy to hide a 2-dimensional object. Then to hide a 3 dimensional object (in space) a 4-dimensional structure is necessary. So far, 4-dimensional objects (in space) have not yet been build (only in science fiction), so probably the way to go is to transform a fractal geometry from a 2 dimensional surface to a 3-dimensional volume. However, so far I have seen only 2-dimensional fractals ... might be interesting to think about.

Take a break - give me a break.
For Brown-san its a way to make good money. And while his visitors try to chew on Macrobiotics, he probably already has made his reservations at a fine Kobe-beef restaurant.
"Crystal ball healing." YES. Also my children have chrystal balls (marbles) at home. Now these marbles have some scratches. Can I bring them for healing?
