TOKYO (Reuters) ? The Japanese government upgraded its view of the economy's performance and outlook for the first time in four months on Monday, but disappointing export data showed that the recovery from the March earthquake and tsunami would be anything but smooth.
The cabinet's monthly report cited progress that manufacturers were making in restoring production and supply chains wrecked by the March 11 disaster. The improved assessment of production, exports and consumption -- the first since February -- follows last week's upgrade in the Bank of Japan's view of the economy.
"A recovery from supply constraints and factory production is helping exports and sentiment. This supports the view that the overall economy is moving in an upward direction," said Shigeru Sugihara, director of macroeconomic analysis at the Cabinet Office.
The government, however, stressed that scars left by the disaster that ravaged the nation's northeast, killing up to 23,000 people and triggering the worst nuclear crisis since Chernobyl, were still all too visible.
It also flagged doubts about the strength of the global economy, high energy costs, the euro zone debt crisis and concerns about the stability of power supplies as potential risks.
May trade data published on Monday were a case in point.
While exports edged up 2.5 percent compared with April and a slump against the year-ago period was less pronounced, the improvement fell short of forecasts, a warning sign that overseas demand for Japanese good may prove weaker than earlier thought.
"Overall, the data shows that Japan's economy appears to be bottoming out, but the speed of the recovery will be moderate," said Takeshi Minami, chief economist at Norinchukin Research Institute.
"Emerging economies are tightening monetary policy so they may experience some slowdown, while advanced economies are also seeing very slow growth. That may affect Japanese exports in the coming months."
Exports fell 10.3 percent in May from a year earlier, less than a 12.4 percent drop in April but more than a median forecast for an 8.4 percent decline, and after a 12.4 percent drop in April, keeping the trade balance in deficit for the second month in a row.
The March disaster knocked the world's third-largest economy into its second recession in three years and output is expected to shrink again this quarter.
Yet a combination of domestic activity spurred by Japan's biggest rebuilding effort since the years after the World War Two and solid foreign demand for its exports is expected to help the economy recover in the second half of the year.
Evidence that Japanese carmakers and other manufacturers were ahead of initial targets in fixing supply networks and restoring production spurred talk of a V-shaped recovery and boosted foreign investment in Japanese stocks.
But, addressing a Reuters summit devoted to Japan's reconstruction, a senior manager at a Pimco bond fund warned that it may be hard for the Japanese industry to return to pre-crisis output levels.
"Global manufacturers need to think about diversification of supply chains. Some Japanese parts production could be replaced by other Asian countries," said Tomoya Masanao, managing director at Pimco Japan.
Among key economic areas, the government raised its view on factory output and exports for the first time since February, saying they show "some upward movements" after declining due to the quake.
Another concern is that a political deadlock in a divided parliament is blocking policies needed to revive the economy, get the nuclear crisis under control and start tackling long-term challenges of climbing public debt and social security costs.
The government released the first 4 trillion yen ($50 billion) batch of emergency spending last month and aims to get another installment through parliament in July. But uncertainty over when Prime Minister Naoto Kan will make good on his promise to step down and whether his successor will do better in winning opposition support is clouding the outlook for a reconstruction-driven recovery.
Kan, already Japan's fifth premier in as many years, survived a no-confidence vote earlier this month after promising critics in his own party he would quit. He did not say, however, when and the opposition have declined to cooperate on key bills until Kan goes.
Kyodo news agency reported on Monday that Kan could try to break the impasse by saying that he would quit on the condition that the parliament passed a second extra budget and a bill to issue bonds for this year's budget.

Should have waited until my parent?s were out of the house before having that thought?
Phone call from my dad?
Dad: "Hey hun. Your mom and I are heading out this weekend to see Monica.?
Me: ?um, ok?
Dad: ?Listen. Why don?t you and Justin bring the kids and have dinner here Friday and Saturday nights, I have steaks out for Justie and fresh fish for you, You guys can grill, the kids play in the yard, plus we are taking the German Sheppard?s so you can bring the dogs and they also have the yard. So plan on spending the next two nights, would you babe? Your brother will cut the grass so you don?t have to worry about Petunia with the bees (yes, the pug is allergic to bees. In fact the first time stung almost killed her).?
Translation: Please come over and baby-sit man-sit house-sit for the weekend.
Me: ?um, ok?
So with that I pack for a weekend, less than an hour away. Load up enough shit necessities for two toddlers, three dogs and a couple changes of clothes for the hubby and me. With toddlers, light packing does NOT exist. No matter the circumstance.
Get to the house, unload everyone and everything, say hi to Uncle Brian who huffed ?you my babysitters?, made dinner, cleaned the kitchen and went to bed. Kids finally fell asleep around 11pm.
Saturday the kids enjoyed the late morning and afternoon in the yard. They played in their sandbox, in the pool and Addison even helped Uncle Brian with the yard work.
This morning Addison made the hubby blueberry pancakes; dumping almost the entire bag of frozen blueberries into the batter. They were blue.
Later we decided to take the kids to Target to pick out a slip-n-slide. How very exciting and so much fun! We spent another afternoon playing in the yard. Really can?t complain because we had a great weekend after all. My parents do so much for us that house sitting for a few days was nothing. The kids really did have a wonderful weekend.

The Bo-Keys, "Got To Get Back!" (Electraphonic)
The Bo-Keys not only extend the venerable Memphis tradition of recording instrumental rhythm & blues, the multi-generational band also employs several veterans who played on the original Stax and Hi label recordings that the Bo-Keys emulate.
The band's first album in seven years, "Got To Get Back!" highlights contributions from players who toured and recorded alongside B.B. King, Al Green and Isaac Hayes, as well as trumpeter Ben Cauley, the lone surviving member of the Bar-Kays from a plane crash that also took the life of Otis Redding. Known as an instrumental group, the new album showcases several soul and blues vocalists who span the ages, including William Bell, Otis Clay and Charlie Musselwhite.
Perhaps it is the participation of so many veterans, or perhaps it is the passionate zeal of band leader Scott Bomar, but for one reason or another, the Bo-Keys present a muscular yet spare sound that captures the grit and grease of classic, horn-driven R&B. Where many revivalists pale compared to the originals, the Bo-Keys would have fit right in next to legendary Memphis musical crews the Bar-Kays and Booker T. & the M.G.'s.
CHECK THIS TRACK OUT: On the title track, "Got to Get Back (To My Baby)," Otis Clay growls and roars against a rousing brass backdrop, charging through the pumping track with a sweaty ferociousness reminiscent of the late Wilson Pickett.

Finance minister Uhuru Kenyatta reads the Budget at the National Assembly this year. He proposed to increase tax rates for professionals in his June 8 Budget speech when he said that consultants, contract staff, and commission sales agents pay a withholding tax of 10 per cent, compared to five per cent previously. Frederick Onyango
Consultants and professionals holding multiple jobs will start paying higher taxes on their earnings this month in a move aimed at putting them at par with workers in regular employment.
Finance minister Uhuru Kenyatta proposed to increase tax rates for professionals in his June 8 Budget speech when he said that consultants, contract staff, and commission sales agents pay a withholding tax of 10 per cent, compared to five per cent previously.
Mr Kenyatta said the review would give a fairer tax burden for employees across the board, observing that professionals have been taking home most of their earnings.
Those holding multiple jobs will only claim a monthly tax relief from one main employer. Kenyan employees are entitled to a uniform monthly personal relief (MPR) of Sh1,162 (Sh13,944 annually) irrespective of their marital status and remuneration scale.
?I have noted that some employees work for more than one employer and? end up getting multiple reliefs. I propose to amend the PAYE rules to provide that an employee shall only qualify for one personal relief,? Mr Kenyatta said.
The higher taxes mean that going forward, professionals in the affected categories will keep less of their earnings as the tax-man claims a larger share of their income while cutting back on their relief claims. The increased taxes for the independent professionals are, however, still lower compared to those applied to professionals in regular employment, a move that preserves the high margins in the independent professional services market.
PAYE taxes for regular employees are graduated, with higher earners paying more taxes. For instance, those earning less than Sh10,165 pay 10 per cent on their pay as taxes while those earning from Sh38,893 upwards pay 30 per cent.
Independent professionals have been paying lesser taxes because most of them meet the cost of delivering their services as they, for instance, rent office space and pay telephone bills.
For regular employees, who enjoy extra benefits aside from salaries, such costs are paid for by their employers hence their heavier tax burden.

Desperate to unlock the secret that hold their relationship in a complicated curse, Luce is determined to find out what that secret is and how she goes about breaking the curse once and for all. Will delving into past lives she isn?t supposed to remember ruin what she has with Daniel, after seeing who he has been his whole life, with and without her. Surely over the span of centuries, Daniel couldn?t have always been a complete saint?could he?
What I thought
I have to start off by saying how much I HATE the cover for this book. If I hadn?t have already read the first two books in this series and gotten this one for review, I doubt I would have bought it after seeing it in a shop. The cover model is extremely underweight looking and really, looks quite ill because of it. As a YA book aimed at teens/ young adults, I don?t think the image that this book projects is very healthy for younger people to be looking at as a role model or something to aspire to. Many people don?t think that book covers really matter and it?s what the actual book is about that counts but here, I have to disagree there.
Thankfully, the story of this book does make up for the appalling cover. Due to the nature of the plot, each chapter explores a different era throughout time. As Luce travels through her past lives with Daniel, we get to see a whole range of different things and ways of life. The way each time period was described was wonderful which made it feel as though I was right there in the story with Luce, experiencing new and exciting things. Not all of the different times she visits are pleasant and actually, pretty much all of them do have bad things going on but this only added to the fact that they had been through so much together over the years, Daniel especially.
I loved hearing about the different ways in which Luce and Daniel fell in love over and over again. I am a hopeless romantic at heart so this was obviously my favourite aspect of the book. No matter what time these characters found themselves in, they would always find a way to each other and to figure out a way of being together, even if it was only for a short amount of time. I have been dying to know what past versions of Luce and the same old Daniel have been like before the present and this whole book gave me a lot of insight into the way that Daniel is and why.
While it seems as though the whole story is about Luce and Daniel?s relationship and the curse, it isn?t. There is so much more going on. Going back a long time, we finally get to see what the curse is all about and why Luce and Daniel are in the state they are in now. I have been dying for the answer to this for two books now so it was great to see this explored more. As well as questions being answered, a host of both new and existing characters are back, adding to the adventure. Bill, a guide to Luce, was my favourite of the new characters as he was so different. From his appearance, I was in two minds about him, not knowing whether or not to trust him. Bill is cheeky, mischievous and a little bit of a terror but he was also great fun to have around at times.
Passion is a fantastic third book in the series and one that was greatly needed. So much is explained and readers will get a great insight into the two main characters of the series, as well as a big chunk of back story. Of course, with a title like Passion, the book had to at least have some of that but I am glad to say, it has bucket loads. Highly recommended but only if you have read the previous books.
