    Get a clue. A couple of whales for the people would be good aid. Free whale meat to the people in Tohoku.

    Yeah, with an assurance that the captured whales are all mercury-free and not contaminated with radioactive materials.

    Republican lawmakers also complained that Jaczko may have acted illegally when he declared in March that Japan’s nuclear crisis constituted an emergency in the United States.

    Typical behavior by the Republic Congress. Harry Reid is right. They are out of touch. They just don’t want him to regulate the nuclear industry and engineering because they are more interested in profit-oriented business than the public safety. Three-mile Island, Reagan’s anti-nuclear freezing campaign in the 80s, and nuclear stock-piling politics are the representatives of their excessively pro-nuclear stance.

    Is it his intension not to grab the stipends for the sake of his manifest, or did he simply forget about it?

    A spokesman for production company Toei said the film portrays Yamamoto as a man torn between war and Japan’s future. The spokesman said the film shows Yamamoto as an individual who had a global perspective, looked forward decisively and displayed real leadership.

    Um, who are screenwriter and producer?

    Anyway, I personally don’t think Toei intends to play down the stigma of Japan’s imperial army over Pearl Habor, per se. The Admiral Yamamoto, despite his chief role in directing the attack, is portrayed as a lesser evil in most American films, unlike Hideki Tojo and his brainwashed soldiers. "Tora! Tora! Tora!" is a pretty good example.

    Not worth teasing my brain since I have seen so many cut-and-dry cultural relativistic arguments--days in and days out.

    See you later!

    The "Consttution" has nothing to do with a civil lawsuit. You are confusing this with somne high profile US Supreme Court case. Furthermore the "State court" has nothing to do with this either since the case has been submitted to a Federal Court. Citizenship of either party is irrelevant, the key here is that SSCS is n organizatyion incorporated and existing under the laws of thge United States and maintaining their place of buisiness there. This is what assures jurisdiction.

    No, I'm not. Again, the US court is not obligated to take the case unless the plaintiffs are able to convince the District Court to hold the jurisdiction. Remember that US courts have very few track records of cases that involve the stake-holds of non-citizens. The point is how this issue concerns the US court in the first place in spite of its irrelevance to the rights of US citizens or green-card holders. That's exactly what the plaintiffs need to address in the first place. Otherwise, it's gonna be thrown out in the end.

    The Palestinian premier on Saturday slammed U.S. presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich for belittling the Palestinians as an “invented” people and demanded an apology.

    Reminds me of dime-a-dozen Japanese lawmakers and PMs who put their foots in the mouths. Sigh.

    This isn't a criminal casek, it;s a civil law suit so the "burden of proof is basically a cakewalk. Plaintiff can fulfill nearly all of it with material taken right off Defendants website, own statements made to the media anmd youtube. And for the icing mayber testimony from the Canadian. Norwegian and Icelandic Coast Guards. The very same evidence will convince any court that SSCS are a threat the Plaintiffs as well as the welfare of their own members. There is no requirement for any plaintiff regardless of nationality to "provide their cultural connections" whatever that means, Nor, in a civil action is there any requirement for Plaintiff's intrerests to be the subject of U.S. interests or whether it harms to local/national interests. You appear to be confusing this civil action with a Federal prosecition on criminal charges where the plaintiff represents the People of the United States.

    It doesn't make a difference in this respect regarding that the court will not apply the US Constitutions for the case if taken. I doubt if the state district court is in control of a legal due process for the case which neither plaintiffs nor the defendants are US citizens. Judges are not obligated to take the case that is totally out of the US context.

    Condition of cool shutdown means....

    • no manual labor for cleaning up the mess related to crippled reactors.

    • no manual labor for checking water leaks, and cracks on the instruments related to a water-cooling system.

    • re-activation of water-cooling system in full swing

    • completion of repairing broken chambers and containments for the reactors and water tanks

    Boy, where are they now? When was the last time PM went Fukushima? He doesn’t even know the folks have not completed any of the above yet, I guess.

    It really makes people boil their blood vessels-- especially seeing government's hypocritical attitude and an audacity to ask them to pay more taxes for a post-disaster recovery plan.

    If the US Federal court issue an injunction ordering Watson and SSCS to cease their activities against the Whalers until the case is heard, and that order is ignored, an arrest warrant will be issued for Watson for contempt of court. If the case is heard and the court rules that Watson/SSCs must cease their activities and Watson ignores it, again an arrerst warrant will be issued for contempt of court. The Whalers are not in the same position because they are not a U.S. based entity as SSCS is.

    This is all up to the plaintiffs' ability to meet the constraints of burden of proof. Since they are not a US base entity, it's very challenging for them to provide their cultural connections with the US through their business. To bring the case to the table, they need to prove that their interests are the subject of US interests, and how leaving the defendants around the waters is not only an imminent threat to themselves but it eventually harms the local/national interests in the end.

    This is not the matter of what the Sea Shepherds are doing or whaling companies are doing, per se. I don't care about an ugly cat-and-dog fight. Just let them do what they want for good. Cause neither will have grace, in my opinion.

    I know there's always been a problem with an ongoing institutional corruption within the GOJ and its affiliates even after 03/11. But, this one is blowing off the roof. It's quite irredeemable.

    Here's the chrous for a fallen J- regime:

    "Violate your rights, no more equality

    Surrender freedom, your Social Security

    We the people face institutional lies

    In greed we trust before revolution we die"

    We the people-- Japan Version

    Cheers,

    TEPCO believes “it is extremely unlikely that his disease was caused by radiation exposure,” she said, citing the advice of a doctor at the National Institute of Radiological Sciences.

    Translation: He was faking his health until last month--even before 03/11.

    She may be right on this with the exception that directing the nuclear engineer staff and working crews in an extremely stressful and dangerous environment for 8 months is strong force to indicate the warning to the impact of one’s health no matter what condition it is.

    Gingrich will not win the nomination. He has too much baggage from his decades in the House, and has made far too many enemies along the way.

    I agree. He has too many character flaws as a politician, as David Brooks & Mark Shields say. His message doesn't have a bearing for more than 5 seconds. That's really quicker than any of the GOP candidates. Phew!

    Although I'm definitely not sympathetic to Sea Shepherd--not because of what they are doing--but because of the way they are practicing what they preach, the plaintiffs (i.e, Institute of Cetacean Research) are apparently going nuts by filing a lawsuit in the country that belongs to no one. Note: Paul Watson is a Canadian! It's less likely to expect the Washington State Court to put jurisdictions to the defendants--even though the group has a branch in the US. And, most of the business interests ICR shares are not under the protection of the US law because they don't have a clear connection.

    I'm getting sick and throwing up as this scumbag's ugly fixed-face re-appeared on the surface of national/local media. And now, my stomach is churning up--and it's getting so nasty--as a stupid J-film company makes a shameless profiteering out of this man's disgusting story while the trial is still going on. This is gonna make me suffer from diarrhea.

    in God's law ...... the child must stay with her mother from birth to two years of time. then after completion of 2 years, if a daughter she should remain with her mother , and if a son he should go to her father. Irrespective to parents 2nd time marriage. The both parents must understand , the requirements of their child and ex spouse's statues ( financially, or other circumstances) .

    Oh Jesus! What kind of lunatic comes up with this kind of stupid idea? No God order you to treat your kids like the toys for the convenience of your life. Absolutely horrible!!!

    It's ME:

    He was arrested because of his "illegal" long record residency

    For how long, exactly? 22 years? Even if it’s not that long, he should have been entitled to some rights until he fell into the cracks. Moreover, it makes me very skeptical about the authorities move—why May 2009? I mean, if he was truly out of status for many years, they should have been able to apprehend him much earlier—before his ailing health became of a concern.

    For those who overly stigmatize the victim for his overstay, you should read the JT article on the same story.

    http://www.japantimes.co.jp/text/fl20111101zg.html

    The point that needs to be focused is not what he did in the first place. Rather, it’s how the immigration authorities treated him since his arrest. He’s been detained way much longer than ordinary Japanese individuals who got arrested for sexually assault the infants or teenage girls. They even ignored this poor man’s long record of residency and marital status in Japan, letting his legal document expired without any chance for citizenship renewal.

    @JGB

    I agree. Many people don't care about how to express what they say because they just want to get an attention. Instigators, trollers, snippers, Japanophiles, Japanophobes.., you name it.

    Some people rash to conclude that the studies are bogus and unreliable because they don't belong here, blah, blah, blah, and swallow whatever a semi-sincere J-goverment and TEPCO are saying instead because they are much more authorized institution who can tell the truth. Then, how come it takes so long to make a clear progress report on de-contamination work? Why are there still over millions of Japanese people angry at them?
