    I always wonder what they mean when they say "suspicious" vehicle.

    I always the same thing. Perhaps a vehicle driven by a suspicious looking person? Or a vehicle that was parked in a suspicious location? Or some car with the windows blacked out?

    Jeeze, I hope this poor girl didn't…

    Sorry, but this article makes Japan seem pretty pathetic when compared to other countries and their long ago obvious conclusion that it's a good idea to hire foreigners, so long as their skills are up to snuff.

    I understand that for many Japanese companies, hiring foreigners to actually speak, work…

    Report the sighting to the nearest Koban. What else?

    Unfortunately for so many of the desperate for attention people in Japan, (and the world, for that matter) giving them the right amount of attention is all it takes to deceive. Somebody with a solid intentions of deception for money can have a pretty easy time at it.

    Especially ANY…

    this is truly shocking. I had been following this story and actually held out some hope she might be found ok. I hope she didn't suffer, physically or emotionally.

    mostly the new H1N1 strain of influenza A,

    I need me a couple of thermal tops, and uniqlo is the perfect place to get 'em. warm and sensibly priced. I bought a bunch last year but I can only find two of them. Oh well. Maybe I'll bump into one of these models there....

    I don't want to sound alarmist, but this looks like jihadists have infiltrated the US army.

    I think "jihadists ideas" is a more appropriate term. I don't think they are sending in sleeper agents ala Tom Clancy just yet. If they were, that would be an awful lot of planning…
