I've read a wide variety of news stories about this, both U.S. and Japan based. One oft-repeated detail is that apparently, "according to Japanese law," the parents are still married. What, then, is the basis for the police arresting him in the first place?

One of the American news sources I've read says that a warrant has been issued for the arrest of the wife, presumably since she violated an agreement with the court there not to take the kids to live in Japan. I wonder what the local police will do when that warrant arrives. Will they follow the law, arrest her, and send her to the U.S.? Although Japan hasn't signed the treaty on international child abduction, I think there is a general extradition treaty between the two countries.

Stop hiring recent college graduates in any subject to help with English teaching and instead hire experienced and licensed teachers like me!

This is the least traditional part of the festival, the dancing of huge ren (dance teams) in front of seated spectators. The true feeling of Awa Odori, as described by Moraes a century ago, is foound in the back streets off Akitamachi and Sakaemachi. Someone should clue the camera crews to move around a bit and see how the Meiji Jidai feeling of Awa odoriu is still alive.

I think of it this way: Google says, "Go to the Nantoka Shimbun website and read their story about the whale in Biwako." If I want to read the story, I click on the link and go to the Nantoka Shimbun website, see their ads, and then read the story. The newspaper wants Google to give them money for giving free advertising space to theie newspaper? that's crazy. Other websites pay the sites that refer people to them. If I wanted to carry ads on my website, the companies who made the ads would pay me, not the other way around.
