  Surprised the government doesn't pass this trash off as spend MOX fuel that's ready for reprocessing, so they can get a twofer - cash for the trash, and the waste becomes a SEP (somebody else's problem).

  Wouldn't email or even, a phone call suffice to complain about the how pachiko parlors are managed than traveling to the totalitarian state, only to be locked up at the Rygyong or the Koryo?

  Raising the consumption tax will be a divisive issue for Noda’s government which is grappling with social security and tax reform, as well as a strong yen.

  Translation: Expect the current prime minister, to pass along the baton of incompetence to the next prime minister, within nine months from now.

  Is her talent selling fried rice at 7-11? I didn't think such an act required much talent or skill.

  Whew! It's good to know that being in the red for four years, and losing money on its television product line wasn't a result of poor management decisions.

  Why be so elusive, and have a webpage that simply reads, "Yuko Oshima - money please."

  I was wondering when Toyota would venture into exosuits for disabled people, as there seems to be greater need for that than trumpet playing robots.

  I firmly believe that 3D is an enhancement even for just normal, narrative scenes, not necessarily the action scenes

  He remains true to his comments about action scenes and 3-D movies. I've read that Cameron (as well as the rest of the crew) like the idea of the short movie, but eventually hated filming Terminator 2- 3D - complete logistical nightmare, and a total pain to film the scenes at a speed rate using 70mm film.

  I'm wondering as to why Global Hawk UAV positions were even given to the air traffic controllers in the first place? Isn't their air position at any given time regarded as Top Secret information by the US government?
