40 officers seem hilariously excessive. I guess they play the "strength in numbers" game as they do not use deadly force. But there are other non-lethal means of stopping a person, like tasers.

Let me add, I'm Catholic too. But if anyone feels disillusioned by all this, it's because you're losing faith in organized religion. If you believe in God, you can still continue to believe regardless of the organization you belong too. That's why there are denominations.
In a way, what they are doing may be because they think they should police their own ranks. But then, that really won't sit well with the secular people. That's why I said if they will just use (secular) legal arguments, they better face the music. It's about playing fair.

If they're going to use legal arguments to get out of it, they should just face the music and cooperate. Innocence is not the same as immunity from suit.

Name withheld because he is a minor. Then he isn't considered "a man" under law, right? Contradiction in the headline.
Regarding the story, bruises doesn't usually appear until a couple of days after the act. Still, either the woman was not noticing it or just rationalized it as due to the child falling or something. Regardless, there seems to be a genuine lack of concern.
Where's the love?

They really should consider looking somewhere else for the cause, be it electronics or the engine itself. If it's not the gas pedal or the floor mat, what is it? It could still be the driver, but not necessarily stepping on the wrong pedal. By experience in software development, the developer will almost always know how to use the program correctly, but the (uninformed) user will almost always do something that will cause the program to malfunction.

For the untrained, the simple act of pulling the trigger can already make them miss your mark. Especially if it's a long pull. I guess the security officers could count themselves lucky.

Classic case of "damned if you do, damned if you don't" for the scientists. I hope they don't get complacent. It may be inconvenient to evacuate, but beats the inconvenience of being sucked out to sea by the tsunami.

I believe looting generally occurs in areas where there is a high population of people living in poverty. Maybe there are people who loot food, but others loot for something to sell, maybe to buy food. Hard to judge them as they aren't in the best of circumstances.

I guess the pressure on Asada to beat Kim was great as well. At least she wasn't faking a smile on the podium.

Sizes are small, prices are high, and a lot of ladies' wear in the men's wear floor. That was the last time I went to a department store to look for clothes. Now it's just Uni Qlo.

Yeah. If it weren't for the old Family Computer/NES I wouldn't buy a PS3 now.
I wonder if the DSi XL NA version will have preinstalled software like in the JP version?

"Nerds" usually don't have that much money. The sale is not different from paintings in private collections changing hands. But it still doesn't beat the T206 Honus Wagner baseball card when price is concerned.
I remembered an episode from the old Amazing Stories TV show about a guy who doesn't throw anything away, only to discover that his stuff fetched very high prices when he got older. This shows that for a collection to be practical, you should collect with the mindset to sell them in the future for a considerable price. If not, it will all be just junk taking up space.

I thought this article would mention that the Sony Reader used to be sold in Japan just a few years back. It eventually went the way of the PDA but the same thing was sold in the US and seems to be popular until now, as shown by new models.

Pretty picture. Seems candid.
Any other criteria to narrow the pool?
