  I know they are testing the safety of these batteries, but is that for domestic flights with places to land all over? How about the international flights...10+ hours over water. Will the batteries last that long without any problems?

  This is an expansion into other Asian markets. They obviously want people who speak the language and understand the culture.

  This slide of Japanese TV makers is not new. Once the Japanese market was saturated with new TVs, all driven by the digital switch, the Japanese had no other push in the world. High labor costs and quality made the J-TV pricey in a "disposable" digital age.

  This is an attempt to get enough money for those retiring to get their pensions, retirement bonuses, and other benefits. Meanwhile, no improvements within the company will happen and it will continue to bleed.

  My boy asks me if Halloween is dangerous because people get shot every year being mistaken for an intruder or something else. There are several tragedies every year...just this morning the news reported a 9-year-old was shot. She was in costume and mistaken for a skunk.

  Anyway, I tell my boy that he should be with an adult and/or a group of people.

  I think he will get a heavy fine and suspended sentence because he showed remorse

  On Friday, members of staff at the boy’s school said they had noticed bruises on his back and torso previously and that the school had notified a juvenile consultation center, Fuji reported.

  What? And why didn't anyone take action after this???

  I do not see the father as a "hero" as he was just doing his "job." But, I wonder how long it went on without him doing anything...

  I think it is wrong for a company to polarize itself one way or another, whether it be on gay rights, religion, or politics. A company is more than the CEO, COO, or any executive. A company is the people and ultimately the customers.

  If you want to have Christian or Muslim values, fine...keep them to yourself and do not push them on others. Just as I do not want people knocking on my door to give me religion, I do not want people putting religion in my chicken!

  SHARP is just another of many Japanese brand goods manufactures that became complacent with their leading position. Along came S. Korea, Taiwan and China...and yet Japan never changed.

  This outcome was obvious at least 2 years ago. Yep, long before 3/11! (Did I mention that I worked for a supplier of Sharp, Panasonic, Sony, and other major Japanese TV and electronics manufacturers. Anyone who took notice could see it coming without major changes....yet no one budged.)

  She is not innocent...she was found in a car with drugs in it. She is guilty of that. This situation happens all of the time in the USA...and the police say, you should know that hanging around with these types of people are dangerous.

  The issue is should this be a death penalty just for associating with the wrong people. Hopefully the hearing will weigh all of the evidence and find out who is responsible.

  I do not remember an Olympics so full of controversial calls and issues. Or, maybe it is because I am paying attention...

  Yeah, right! We have all seen the political promises in Japan. This would get stalled in the diet and never go anywhere.

  Good call Thunderbird2, but the boy made it all the way to Rome! The man in the incident you brought up was caught and arrested.

  Does this mean a lot of Japanese going to the Olympics this year? Would make sense considering the strong yen.
