That's a movie I would love to see. Salma Hayek and Benecio Del Toro are two under rated hollywood talents.

Congratulations, "G-Men," and congratulations, Mr. "Eli-te." You've proven that you are an elite QB after all. I can't wait to watch again.

Great match. For awhile I though Andy will pull one of the biggest comeback in tennis history. At the end, Novack was simply superb. Novack owns Nadal, so I guess that will be his 2nd Aussie title.

G-Men all the way. I was in NY for the miracle win in 2008 and I will be watching this one on Feb 5th at home (sorry boss I am sick that day). Eli is a class act QB. Giants defense win this Super bowl.

Posted in: Gov't releases 40-year Fukushima nuclear plant cleanup plan See in context

The clean up plan is not technically feasible and is humanely impossible. The J govt knows that but since they have to answer to the population, they came up with a dubious plan. I guess they can't say Tepco screw the whole thing up because they will be blaming themselves.

R.I.P children. Words cannot describe my feelings now. I can't comment further on this terrible tragedy but my assumption will be that either the mother or the driver ignored the traffic lights.

Ten years ago I went to Aizu-Wakamatsu for a rice harvesting event. We stayed with a family and we had the greatest time ever. Best sake I ever tasted. Nice people and great city. Tsuruga castle is worth the visit.

Posted in: The case of Abubakar Awudu Suraj: A PR nightmare of Japan’s own making See in context

T-marie- Overstayers in Japan are guilty of civil violation of the Japanese immigration laws. Most immigration violators are not criminal offenses including people who have overstayed their visa for 20 years. Please don’t label them with some ignorant names. I have worked with a catholic charity to help these people while they are in detention so I can tell you one or two things about their situation. Also remember Abubakar lost his life at the hands of the immigration authorities and his wife and family have not be given satisfactory answers why this tragedy happened. In other countries a full independent investigation will be in order.

Jotter-Your last paragraph is just speculation and next time show more sympathy at the death of a fellow human being.

tmarie- I guess you never met or interact with overstayers in Japan. You seem to forgot that these people have still human rights to be respected and their illegal status doesn't give the authority to the Japanese Goverment to abuse them. You should get off of your white horse(no pun intended) and learn about the real world.

Bravo for the "Untouchable". I can't wait to go see when I am back in Paris. I hope the movie get release in Tokyo very soon. I hate to have to wait 6 months to see a movie here whereas most of your friends have already seen it.

Posted in: Thousands of flood-hit Thais to be allowed to work in Japan See in context

How many workers are we talking about? A few hundred or a few thousand? I think the numbers will make a difference with the union members. They certainly will not be happy to welcome thousand of Thai workers in their factories.

Posted in: Tourism flatlines as visitors avoid Japan See in context

Japan is a great place to visit. As most posters stated, the nuclear crisis and the high yen are an impediment for tourist travels. I tell my folks back home as long as you don't go near Fukushima, don't worry about the news.
