Jean Nicolas Arthur Rimbaud (/ræmˈboʊ/ or /ˈræmboʊ/; French pronunciation: [aʁtyʁ ʁɛ̃bo]; 20 October 1854 – 10 November 1891) was a French poet born in Charleville, Ardennes. As part of the decadent movement,[2] he influenced modern literature and arts, inspired various musicians, and prefigured surrealism. All of his poetry was written as a teenager; he gave up creative writing completely before he turned 20.[3] His "genius, its flowering, explosion and sudden extinction, still astonishes".[4]
Rimbaud was known to have been a libertine and a restless soul. He traveled extensively on three continents before his death from cancer just after his thirty-seventh birthday.
Family and childhood (1854–1861)[edit]
Arthur Rimbaud was born in the provincial town of Charleville (now part of Charleville-Mézières) in the Ardennes département in northeastern France. He was the second child of Frédéric Rimbaud (7 October 1814 – 16 November 1878)[5] and Marie Catherine Vitalie Cuif (10 March 1825 – 16 November 1907).[6]
Rimbaud's father, a Burgundian of Provençal extraction, was an infantry captain risen from the ranks; he had spent much of his army career abroad.[7] From 1844 to 1850, he participated in the conquest of Algeria, and in 1854 was awarded the Légion d'honneur[7] "by Imperial decree".[8] Captain Rimbaud was described as "good-tempered, easy-going and generous".[9] with the long moustaches and goatee of a Chasseur officer.[10]
In October 1852, Captain Rimbaud, then aged 38, was transferred to Mézières where he met Vitalie Cuif, 11 years his junior, while on a Sunday stroll.[11] She came from a "solidly established Ardennais family",[12] but one with its share of bohemians; two of her brothers were alcoholics.[12] Her personality was the "exact opposite" of Rimbaud's; she was narrowminded, "stingy and ... completely lacking in a sense of humour".[9] When Charles Houin, an early biographer, interviewed her, he found her "withdrawn, stubborn and taciturn".[13] Arthur Rimbaud's private name for her was "Mouth of Darkness" (bouche d'ombre).[14]
Nevertheless, on 8 February 1853, Captain Rimbaud and Vitalie Cuif married; their first-born, Jean Nicolas Frédéric ("Frédéric"), arrived nine months later on 2 November.[15] The next year, on 20 October 1854, Jean Nicolas Arthur ("Arthur") was born.[15] Three more children followed: Victorine-Pauline-Vitalie on 4 June 1857 (who died a few weeks later), Jeanne-Rosalie-Vitalie ("Vitalie") on 15 June 1858 and, finally, Frédérique Marie Isabelle ("Isabelle") on 1 June 1860.[16]
Though the marriage lasted seven years, Captain Rimbaud lived continuously in the matrimonial home for less than three months, from February to May 1853.[17] The rest of the time his military postings – including active service in the Crimean War and the Sardinian Campaign (with medals earned in both)[18] – meant he returned home to Charleville only when on leave.[17] He was not at home for his children's births, nor their baptisms.[17] Isabelle's birth in 1860 must have been the last straw, as after this Captain Rimbaud stopped returning home on leave entirely.[19] Though they never divorced, the separation was complete; thereafter Mme Rimbaud let herself be known as "Widow Rimbaud" [19] and Captain Rimbaud would describe himself as a widower.[20] Neither the captain nor his children showed the slightest interest in re-establishing contact.[20]
Schooling and teen years (1861–1871)[edit]
Fearing her children were being over-influenced by the neighbouring children of the poor, Mme. Rimbaud moved her family to the Cours d'Orléans in 1862.[21] This was a better neighbourhood, and the boys, now aged nine and eight, who had been taught at home by their mother, were now sent to the Pension Rossat. Throughout the five years that they attended the school, however, their formidable mother still imposed her will upon them, pushing them for scholastic success. She would punish her sons by making them learn a hundred lines of Latin verse by heart, and further punish any mistakes by depriving them of meals.[22] When Rimbaud was nine, he wrote a 700-word essay objecting to his having to learn Latin in school. Vigorously condemning a classical education as a mere gateway to a salaried position, Rimbaud wrote repeatedly, "I will be a rentier".[22] Rimbaud disliked schoolwork and resented his mother's constant supervision; the children were not allowed out of their mother's sight, and until they were fifteen and sixteen respectively, she would walk them home from school.[23]
As a boy, Rimbaud was small and pale with brown hair, and eyes that a childhood friend described as "pale blue irradiated with dark blue—the loveliest eyes I've seen".[25] An ardent Catholic like his mother, Rimbaud had his First Communion when he was eleven. His piety earned him the schoolyard nickname "sale petit Cagot".[26] That same year, he and his brother were sent to the Collège de Charleville. Up to then, his reading had been largely confined to the Bible,[27] though he had also enjoyed fairy tales and adventure stories, such as the novels of James Fenimore Cooper and Gustave Aimard.[28] At the Collège he became a highly successful student, heading his class in all subjects except mathematics and the sciences; his schoolmasters remarked upon his ability to absorb great quantities of material. In 1869 he won eight school first prizes, including the prize for Religious Education, and in 1870 he won seven first prizes.[29]
Hoping for a brilliant academic career for her second son, Mme Rimbaud hired a private tutor for Rimbaud when he reached the third grade.[30] Father Ariste Lhéritier succeeded in sparking in the young scholar a love of Greek, Latin and French classical literature, and was the first to encourage the boy to write original verse, in both French and Latin.[31] Rimbaud's first poem to appear in print was "Les Étrennes des orphelins" ("The Orphans' New Year's Gifts"), which was published in the 2 January 1870 issue of La Revue pour tous.[32]
Two weeks later, a new teacher of rhetoric, the 22-year-old Georges Izambard, started at the Collège de Charleville.[33] Izambard became Rimbaud's literary mentor, and soon a close accord formed between teacher and student, with Rimbaud for a while seeing Izambard as a kind of older brother.[34] At the age of 15, Rimbaud was showing maturity as a poet; the first poem he showed Izambard, "Ophélie", would later be included in anthologies, and is regarded as one of Rimbaud's three or four best poems.[35] On 4 May 1870, Rimbaud's mother wrote to Izambard to complain that he had given Rimbaud Victor Hugo's Les Misérables to read.[36]
On 19 July 1870, the Franco-Prussian War broke out, between Napoleon III's Second French Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia.[37] A week later, on 24 July, Izambard left Charleville for the summer to stay with his three aunts – the Misses Gindre – in Douai.[37] In the meantime, preparations for war continued and the Collège de Charleville became a military hospital.[38] By the end of August, with the countryside in turmoil, Rimbaud was bored and restless.[38] In search of adventure he ran away by train to Paris without funds for his ticket.[39] On arrival at the Gare du Nord, he was arrested and locked up in Mazas Prison to await trial for fare evasion and vagrancy.[39] On about 6 September, Rimbaud wrote a desperate letter to Izambard, who arranged with the prison governor that Rimbaud be released into his care.[40] As hostilities were continuing, he stayed with the Misses Gindre in Douai until he could be returned to Charleville.[40] Izambard finally handed Rimbaud over to Mme Rimbaud on 27 September 1870, but he was only at home ten days before running away again.[41]
From late October 1870, Rimbaud's behaviour became openly provocative; he drank alcohol, spoke rudely, composed scatological poems, stole books from local shops, and abandoned his characteristically neat appearance by allowing his hair to grow long.[42] In May 1871 he wrote two letters (lettres du voyant),[43] to Izambard and to Demeny, about his method for attaining poetical transcendence or visionary power through a "long, intimidating, immense and rational derangement of all the senses. The sufferings are enormous, but one must be strong, be born a poet, and I have recognized myself as a poet."[44]
Life with Verlaine (1871–1875)[edit]
Rimbaud wrote to several poets but received no replies, so his friend, office employee Charles Auguste Bretagne, advised him to write to Paul Verlaine, an eminent Symbolist poet.[45] Rimbaud sent Verlaine two letters with several of his poems, including the hypnotic, finally shocking "Le Dormeur du Val" (The Sleeper in the Valley), in which Nature is called upon to comfort an apparently sleeping soldier. Verlaine was intrigued by Rimbaud, and replied, "Come, dear great soul. We await you; we desire you," sending him a one-way ticket to Paris.[46] Rimbaud arrived in late September 1871 and resided briefly in Verlaine's home.[47] Verlaine's wife, Mathilde Mauté, was seventeen years old and pregnant, and Verlaine had recently left his job and started drinking. In later published recollections of his first sight of Rimbaud at the age of seventeen, Verlaine described him as having "the real head of a child, chubby and fresh, on a big, bony, rather clumsy body of a still-growing adolescent", with a "very strong Ardennes accent that was almost a dialect". His voice had "highs and lows as if it were breaking."[48]
Rimbaud and Verlaine began a short and torrid affair. They led a wild, vagabond-like life spiced by absinthe and hashish.[49] The Parisian literary coterie was scandalized by Rimbaud, whose behaviour was that of the archetypal enfant terrible, yet throughout this period he continued to write striking, visionary verse. Their stormy relationship eventually brought them to London in September 1872,[50] a period over which Rimbaud would later express regret. During this time, Verlaine abandoned his wife and infant son (both of whom he had abused in his alcoholic rages). In England they lived in considerable poverty in Bloomsbury and in Camden Town, scraping a living mostly from teaching, plus an allowance from Verlaine's mother.[51] Rimbaud spent his days in the Reading Room of the British Museum where "heating, lighting, pens and ink were free".[51] The relationship between the two poets grew increasingly bitter.
In late June 1873, Verlaine returned to Paris alone, but quickly began to mourn Rimbaud's absence. On 8 July he telegraphed Rimbaud, asking him to come to the Hotel Liège in Brussels.[52] The reunion went badly, they argued continuously, and Verlaine took refuge in heavy drinking.[52] On the morning of 10 July, Verlaine bought a revolver and ammunition.[52] About 16:00, "in a drunken rage", he fired two shots at Rimbaud, one of them wounding the 18-year-old in the left wrist.[52]
Rimbaud initially dismissed the wound as superficial but had it dressed at the St-Jean hospital nevertheless.[52] He did not immediately file charges, but decided to leave Brussels.[52] About 20:00, Verlaine and his mother accompanied Rimbaud to the Gare du Midi railway station.[52] On the way, by Rimbaud's account, Verlaine "behaved as if he were insane". Fearing that Verlaine "might give himself over to new excesses", Rimbaud "ran off" and "begged a policeman to arrest him".[53] Verlaine was charged with attempted murder, then subjected to a humiliating medico-legal examination.[54] He was also interrogated about his correspondence with Rimbaud and the nature of their relationship.[54] The bullet was eventually removed on 17 July and Rimbaud withdrew his complaint. The charges were reduced to wounding with a firearm, and on 8 August 1873 Verlaine was sentenced to two years in prison.[54]
Rimbaud returned home to Charleville and completed his prose work Une Saison en Enfer ("A Season in Hell")—still widely regarded as a pioneering example of modern Symbolist writing. In the work he referred to Verlaine as his "pitiful brother" (frère pitoyable) and the "mad virgin" (vierge folle), and to himself as the "hellish husband" (l'époux infernal). He described their life together as a "domestic farce" (drôle de ménage).
In 1874 he returned to London with the poet Germain Nouveau.[55] They lived together for three months while he put together his groundbreaking Illuminations.
Travels (1875–1880)[edit]
Rimbaud and Verlaine met for the last time in March 1875, in Stuttgart, after Verlaine's release from prison and his conversion to Catholicism.[57] By then Rimbaud had given up writing in favour of a steady, working life. Some speculate he was fed up with his former wild living, or that the recklessness itself had been the source of his creativity. He continued to travel extensively in Europe, mostly on foot.
In May 1876 he enlisted as a soldier in the Dutch Colonial Army[58] to get free passage to Java in the Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia). Four months later he deserted and fled into the jungle. He managed to return incognito to France by ship; as a deserter he would have faced a Dutch firing squad had he been caught.[59]
In December 1878, Rimbaud journeyed to Larnaca, Cyprus, where he worked for a construction company as a stone quarry foreman.[60] In May of the following year he had to leave Cyprus because of a fever, which on his return to France was diagnosed as typhoid.
Abyssinia (1880–1891)[edit]
In 1880 Rimbaud finally settled in Aden, Yemen, as a main employee in the Bardey agency,[61] going on to run the firm's agency in Harar, Ethiopia. In 1884 his "Report on the Ogaden" was presented and published by the Société de Géographie in Paris.[62] In the same year he left his job at Bardey's to become a merchant on his own account in Harar, where his commercial dealings included coffee and weapons. During this period, he struck up a close friendship with the Governor of Harar, Ras Makonnen, father of future Ethiopian emperor Haile Selassie.[63]
Rimbaud worked in the coffee trade. "He was, in fact, a pioneer in the business, the first European to oversee the export of the celebrated coffee of Harar from the country where coffee was born. He was only the third European ever to set foot in the city, and the first to do business there."[64]
Sickness and death (1891)[edit]
In February 1891, in Aden, Rimbaud developed what he initially thought was arthritis in his right knee.[65] It failed to respond to treatment, and by March had become so painful that he prepared to return to France for treatment.[65] Before leaving, Rimbaud consulted a British doctor who mistakenly diagnosed tubercular synovitis, and recommended immediate amputation.[66] Rimbaud remained in Aden until 7 May to set his financial affairs in order, then caught a steamer, L'Amazone, back to France for the 13-day voyage.[66] On arrival in Marseille, he was admitted to the Hôpital de la Conception, where his right leg was amputated a week later, on 27 May.[67] The post-operative diagnosis was bone cancer—probably osteosarcoma.[66]
After a short stay at the family farm in Roche, from 23 July to 23 August,[68] he attempted to travel back to Africa, but on the way his health deteriorated, and he was re-admitted to the same hospital. He spent some time there in great pain, attended by his sister Isabelle, before dying on 10 November 1891 at the age of 37. He was interred in Charleville.[69]
In May 1871, aged 16, Rimbaud wrote two letters explaining his poetic philosophy. The first was written 13 May to Izambard, in which Rimbaud explained:
I'm now making myself as scummy as I can. Why? I want to be a poet, and I'm working at turning myself into a seer. You won't understand any of this, and I'm almost incapable of explaining it to you. The idea is to reach the unknown by the derangement of all the senses. It involves enormous suffering, but one must be strong and be a born poet. It's really not my fault.[70][71]
Rimbaud said much the same in his second letter, commonly called the Lettre du voyant ("Letter of the Seer"). Written 15 May—before his first trip to Paris—to his friend Paul Demeny, the letter expounded his revolutionary theories about poetry and life, while also denouncing most poets that preceded him. Wishing for new poetic forms and ideas, he wrote:
I say that one must be a seer, make oneself a seer. The poet makes himself a seer by a long, prodigious, and rational disordering of all the senses. Every form of love, of suffering, of madness; he searches himself, he consumes all the poisons in him, and keeps only their quintessences. This is an unspeakable torture during which he needs all his faith and superhuman strength, and during which he becomes the great patient, the great criminal, the great accursed – and the great learned one! – among men. – For he arrives at the unknown! Because he has cultivated his own soul – which was rich to begin with – more than any other man! He reaches the unknown; and even if, crazed, he ends up by losing the understanding of his visions, at least he has seen them! Let him die charging through those unutterable, unnameable things: other horrible workers will come; they will begin from the horizons where he has succumbed![72][73]
Rimbaud expounded the same ideas in his poem, "Le bateau ivre" ("The Drunken Boat"). This hundred-line poem tells the tale of a boat that breaks free of human society when its handlers are killed by "Redskins" (Peaux-Rouges). At first thinking that it is drifting where it pleases, the boat soon realizes that it is being guided by and to the "poem of the sea". It sees visions both magnificent ("the awakening blue and yellow of singing phosphorescence", "l'éveil jaune et bleu des phosphores chanteurs",) and disgusting ("nets where in the reeds an entire Leviathan was rotting" "nasses / Où pourrit dans les joncs tout un Léviathan). It ends floating and washed clean, wishing only to sink and become one with the sea.
Archibald MacLeish has commented on this poem: "Anyone who doubts that poetry can say what prose cannot has only to read the so-called Lettres du Voyant and 'Bateau Ivre' together. What is pretentious and adolescent in the Lettres is true in the poem—unanswerably true."[74]
French poet Paul Valéry stated that "all known literature is written in the language of common sense—except Rimbaud's".[75] His poetry influenced the Symbolists, Dadaists, and Surrealists, and later writers adopted not only some of his themes, but his inventive use of form and language.
- Le Soleil Était Encore Chaud (1866)
- Poésies (c. 1869–1873)
- Soleil et chair (1870)
- Le bateau ivre (1871)
- Proses Évangeliques (1872)
- Une Saison en Enfer (1873) – published by Rimbaud himself as a small booklet in Brussels. Although "a few copies were distributed to friends in Paris... Rimbaud almost immediately lost interest in the work."[76]
- Illuminations (1874)
- Lettres (1870–1891)
Cultural legacy[edit]
Rimbaud's poetry, as well as his life, influenced many 20th century writers, musicians and artists, including Pablo Picasso, Dylan Thomas, Allen Ginsberg, Vladimir Nabokov, Bob Dylan, Luis Alberto Spinetta, Patti Smith, Giannina Braschi, Léo Ferré,[77] Henry Miller, Van Morrison, Penny Rimbaud, Jim Morrison, and Trent Reznor.[75] His life has been portrayed in several films. Italian filmmaker Nelo Risi's 1970 film Una stagione all'inferno ("A Season in Hell") starred Terence Stamp as Rimbaud and Jean Claude Brialy as Paul Verlaine. Rimbaud is mentioned in the 1982 movie Eddie and the Cruisers, along with the story line that the group's second album was entitled "A Season in Hell". In 1995 Polish filmmaker Agnieszka Holland directed Total Eclipse, which was based on a play by Christopher Hampton who also wrote the screenplay. The film starred Leonardo DiCaprio as Rimbaud and David Thewlis as Paul Verlaine. He is also the protagonist of the opera Rimbaud, ou le fils du soleil (1978) by Italian composer Lorenzo Ferrero. In 2012 composer John Zorn released a CD titled "Rimbaud", featuring 4 compositions inspired by Rimbaud's work — Bateau Ivre (a chamber octet), A Season in Hell (electronic music), Illuminations (piano, bass and drums), and Conneries (featuring Mathieu Amalric reading from Rimbaud's work).

There was no lackluster holiday break swoon for the John Hardin Lady Bulldogs.
Even with coach Bryan Todd missing some practice time while taking in the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans, his assistants made sure his team stayed in form.
Four Lady Bulldogs scored at least eight points, with senior center Michelle Montgomery totaling a game-high 18, as they picked up a 68-21 victory Thursday night at 17th District rival Fort Knox.

text: So, this is your hideaway? Is this where you bury the men you have slain? Screams can't be heard, And no one can hear a word. The silence, Sweet, sweet silence. No one can hear the piercing screams, Not heard through the surrounding dreams. The blood stains on the floor, The holes in the ground, Drag marks out of the door, Betrayers never to be found.

Glycine Receptor α2 Subunit Activation Promotes Cortical Interneuron Migration
Cell Reports, Volume 4, Issue 4, 29 August 2013, Pages 738-750
Ariel Avila, Pía M. Vidal, T. Neil Dear, Robert J. Harvey, Jean-Michel Rigo and Laurent Nguyen
SummaryGlycine receptors (GlyRs) are detected in the developing CNS before synaptogenesis, but their function remains elusive. This study demonstrates that functional GlyRs are expressed by embryonic cortical interneurons in vivo. Furthermore, genetic disruption of these receptors leads to interneuron migration defects. We discovered that extrasynaptic activation of GlyRs containing the α2 subunit in cortical interneurons by endogenous glycine activates voltage-gated calcium channels and promotes calcium influx, which further modulates actomyosin contractility to fine-tune nuclear translocation during migration. Taken together, our data highlight the molecular events triggered by GlyR α2 activation that control cortical tangential migration during embryogenesis.

SummaryGlycine receptors (GlyRs) contribute to fast inhibitory synaptic transmission in the brain stem and spinal cord. GlyR subunits are expressed in the developing neocortex, but a neurotransmitter system involving cortical GlyRs has yet to be demonstrated. Here, we show that GlyRs in immature neocortex are excitatory and activated by a nonsynaptically released endogenous ligand. Of the potential ligands for cortical GlyRs, taurine is by far the most abundant in the developing neocortex. We found that taurine is stored in immature cortical neurons and that manipulations known to elevate extracellular taurine cause GlyR activation. These data indicate that nonsynaptically released taurine activates GlyRs during neocortical development. As fetal taurine deprivation can cause cortical dysgenesis, it is possible that taurine influences neocortical development by activating GlyRs.

AbstractTransmitter-gated ion channels mediate rapid synaptic transmission in the CNS and constitute important targets for many neuroactive drugs. Inhibitory glycine receptors (GlyRs) are members of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor superfamily and inhibit neuronal firing by opening Cl− channels following agonist binding. In this article, we discuss recent developments in GlyR pharmacology, delineate the receptor domains that are involved in binding of agonists and allosteric modulators, and present a molecular model of the extracellular architecture of the receptor. The recent discovery of compounds that act preferentially on specific GlyR isoforms and the differential expression of these isoforms in distinct regions of the developing and adult CNS show considerable promise towards the development of drugs that act in defined glycine-mediated pathways. In particular, compounds that can potentiate GlyR function should provide leads for novel muscle relaxants in addition to sedative and analgesic agents.

- Inhibitory glycine receptors (GlyRs) regulate motor coordination and sensory signal processing in spinal cord and other brain regions. GlyRs are pentameric proteins composed of membrane-spanning α and β subunits. Here, site-directed mutagenesis combined with homology modeling based on the crystal structure of the acetylcholine binding protein identified key ligand binding residues of recombinant homooligomeric α1 and heterooligomeric α1β GlyRs. This disclosed two highly conserved, oppositely charged residues located on adjacent subunit interfaces as being crucial for agonist binding. In addition, the β subunit was found to determine the ligand binding properties of heterooligomeric GlyRs. Expression of an α1β tandem construct and affinity purification of metabolically labeled GlyRs confirmed a subunit stoichiometry of 2α3β. Because the β subunit anchors GlyRs at synaptic sites, our results have important implications for the biosynthesis, clustering, and pharmacology of synaptic GlyRs.

Posted: 10:35 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 19, 2010
By Jamie Dupree
It was a week ago today that President Obama made his first comments about the controversial mosque near Ground Zero in New York, and the issue is still bubbling around the Political World.
It's about this time in any election year that you can talk about who is winning the news cycle each day. It means more in a Presidential race than for Congressional races, but it is still important for the 2010 mid-term elections.
It's not necessarily that Republicans "won" the news cycles of the past week or so, but it is easier to make the case that the Democrats and President Obama played the last week in a more reactive and defensive mode.
A story from the AP's Beth Fouhy this week showed how Democrats in New York state are breaking with President Obama on the mosque, urging that it be built away from Ground Zero.
Read her piece at http://is.gd/epurs and see how some Democrats are staying quiet. Sooner or later they will have to say something.
President Obama tried to use his campaign swing of the past few days to turn the page onto something else, emphasizing what's certain to be a central Democratic theme in coming weeks, that Republicans are to blame for blocking jobs legislation in the Senate.
"Unfortunately, a partisan minority in the Senate so far has refused to allow this jobs bill to come up for a vote," the President said yesterday about a small business aid bill that he urged action on by lamwakers.
"It's obstruction that stands in the way of small business owners getting the loans and the tax cuts that they need to prosper. It's obstruction that defies common sense," he added.
The President's comments came after some bad news from the feds, which showed that initial jobless claims went up to their highest point since November, an indication that the economic recovery might be going in the wrong direction.
That could certainly cause trouble for Democrats, especially if the unemployment rate goes up from the current level of 9.5%.
But much of the discussion this week was about the Ground Zero Mosque, and whether Republicans were overplaying their hand or Democrats were on the wrong side of public opinion. It was not a week spent on the offensive for Democrats.
What will be interesting to watch is what plays out over the next ten days, as the Obamas spend a summer vacation in Martha's Vineyard.
If the Bully Pulpit isn't being used for a week, the other party has a chance to land some blows that might go unanswered.
We'll see if the GOP has anything up its sleeve, or if they will take a little break too.
Let me know what happens.

Cheap Amusements: Working Women and Leisure in Turn-of-the-Century New York
by Kathy PeissWhat did young, independent women do for fun and how did they pay their way into New York City's turn-of-the-century pleasure places? Cheap Amusements is a fascinating discussion of young working women whose meager wages often fell short of bare subsistence and rarely allowed for entertainment expenses. Kathy Peiss follows working women into saloons, dance halls, Coney Island amusement parks, social clubs, and nickelodeons to explore the culture of these young women between 1880 and 1920 as expressed in leisure activities. By examining the rituals and styles they adopted and placing that culture in the larger context of urban working-class life, she offers us a complex picture of the dynamics shaping a working woman's experience and consciousness at the turn-of-the-century. Not only does her analysis lead us to new insights into working-class culture, changing social relations between single men and women, and urban courtship, but it also gives us a fuller understanding of the cultural transformations that gave rise to the commercialization of leisure. The early twentieth century witnessed the emergence of "heterosocial companionship" as a dominant ideology of gender, affirming mixed-sex patterns of social interaction, in contrast to the nineteenth century's segregated spheres. Cheap Amusements argues that a crucial part of the "reorientation of American culture" originated from below, specifically in the subculture of working women to be found in urban dance halls and amusement resorts.

Cheaper by the Hour: Temporary Lawyers and the Deprofessionalization of the Law
by Robert A. BrooksRecent law school graduates often work as temporary attorneys, but law firm layoffs and downsizing have strengthened the temporary attorney industry. Cheaper by the Hour is the first book-length account of these workers. Drawing from participant observation and interviews, Robert A. Brooks provides a richly detailed ethnographic account of freelance attorneys in Washington, DC. He places their document review work in the larger context of the deprofessionalization of skilled labor and considers how professionals relegated to temporary jobs feel diminished, degraded, or demeaned by work that is often tedious, repetitive, and well beneath their abilities. Brooks documents how firms break a lawyer's work into discrete components that require less skill to realize maximum profits. Moreover, he argues that information technology and efficiency demands are further stratifying the profession and creating a new underclass of lawyers who do low-end commodity work.

Cheat and Charmer
by Elizabeth FrankTwenty-five years in the making, a first novel that has already been compared to The Sun Also Rises and The Last Tycoon, Cheat and Charmer is certain to be one of the most admired literary debuts of the season. Written by Pulitzer Prize--winning biographer Elizabeth Frank, Cheat and Charmer is a masterful and richly detailed work of fiction-a Tolstoyan novel of marriage, sisterhood, art, politics, compromise, and betrayal set in Hollywood, New York, Paris, and London of the 1950s.Dinah Lasker grew up in the shadow of her sister, Veevi, a stunning beauty and emerging star who enchanted both the Hollywood set and its imported New York literati. But Veevi's home was also a hotbed of political activity, owing to her marriage to Stefan Ventura, a Bulgarian filmmaker and high-profile Communist. At the end of the 1930s, when things go badly for him in Hollywood, Ventura and Veevi flee to Paris and into the lengthening shadows of Hitler and fascism.Cut to 1951, when Dinah is subpoenaed by the House Un-American Activities Committee, which threatens to ruin her husband, Jake, and derail his successful career as a Hollywood writer, producer, and director unless she cooperates. Can Dinah live with herself if she names Veevi-whom she both loves and loathes-in order to save her husband and preserve her idyllic married life? The choices Dinah makes set in motion an unforgettable chain of events. Like Anna Karenina, Dinah must face the consequences of her choices and her needs.Written with elegance and style, Cheat and Charmer grippingly dramatizes the interior lives of Dinah, Veevi, Jake, and their social circle. Spanning decades and following complex characters on their impassioned pursuits through America and Europe, this is a novel of grand scope, about love and deception, idealism and accommodation, the lies we live, and the truths we cannot avoid.From the Hardcover edition.

Cheating Death: The Doctors and Medical Miracles that Are Saving Lives Against All Odds
by Sanjay GuptaAn unborn baby with a fatal heart defect . . . a skier submerged for an hour in a frozen Norwegian lake . . . a comatose brain surgery patient whom doctors have declared a "vegetable." Twenty years ago all of them would have been given up for dead, with no realistic hope for survival. But today, thanks to incredible new medical advances, each of these individuals is alive and well . . .Cheating Death. In this riveting book, Dr. Sanjay Gupta-neurosurgeon, chief medical correspondent for CNN, and bestselling author-chronicles the almost unbelievable science that has made these seemingly miraculous recoveries possible. A bold new breed of doctors has achieved amazing rescues by refusing to accept that any life is irretrievably lost. Extended cardiac arrest, "brain death," not breathing for over an hour-all these conditions used to be considered inevitably fatal, but they no longer are. Today, revolutionary advances are blurring the traditional line between life and death in fascinating ways. Drawing on real-life stories and using his unprecedented access to the latest medical research, Dr. Gupta dramatically presents exciting accounts of how pioneering physicians and researchers are altering our understanding of how the human body functions when it comes to survival-and why more and more patients who once would have died are now alive. From experiments with therapeutic hypothermia to save comatose stroke or heart attack victims to lifesaving operations in utero to the study of animal hibernation to help wounded soldiers on far-off battlefields, these remarkable case histories transform and enrich all our assumptions about the true nature of death and life.
Cheating Death, Stealing Life
by Michael Krugman Eddie GuerreroOne of the most inspiring stories in wrestling history, Cheating Death, Stealing Life sees Eddie Guerrero recount his saga in remarkably candid fashion, chronicling a life of heartbreaks and painful personal struggles in frank, graphic detail. Guerrero was born into Mexico's first family of sports entertainment, and his life story spans three generations of the wrestling business. His father, Gory Guerrero, was among the greatest legends of lucha libre -- Mexican wrestling. Before Eddie was twenty, he was competing in the border town of Juarez, going on to work throughout Mexico. The family name made him an instant sensation but also cast a large shadow from which he would spend years trying to emerge. Paired with the late Art Barr, Guerrero cofounded what became the most hated -- and popular -- tag team in lucha libre, the infamous Los Gringos Locos. Word spread, and soon Guerrero was blowing away fans in North America as part of the upstart Extreme Championship Wrestling promotion. Eddie's phenomenal matches with Dean Malenko rank among the most exciting bouts of all time. World Championship Wrestling was looking for innovative new talents to help them compete against their rival, World Wrestling Federation, and Guerrero's unique style fit the bill. Unfortunately, the backstage politics that dominated WCW kept Guerrero away from the main-event spotlight. Eddie sought solace from the pressures of life on the road by living hard and partying harder. Even a series of drug overdoses and a near-fatal car accident could not change his ways. As WCW collapsed, Guerrero knew it was time to move on. When a group of wrestlers -- including his close associates Chris Benoit and Malenko -- opted to leave, Guerrero joined them and soon signed with World Wrestling Federation. Now that Guerrero was finally given a chance to shine, things began looking up. Unfortunately, a freak injury in his debut match took him out of the ring action before he could even get started. Upon his return, Eddie was paired with The Ninth Wonder of the World, Chyna, which launched his indelible Latino Heat character. Though his career was flourishing, his personal demons continued to torment him. Years of the wrestling lifestyle, of nightly partying and frequent injury, led to addictions to both alcohol and painkillers, habits that would nearly cost him everything he held dear. Guerrero spent four months in a rehabilitation facility, cleansing his body and soul. Sadly, he had not yet hit bottom. A relapse into alcohol abuse resulted in a DUI conviction and the loss of his job. Though Guerrero had lost everything -- his family, his money, his job -- he never allowed himself to lose his pride. He stopped drinking and began training harder than ever before. He returned to the independent circuit, where he regained his reputation as one of wrestling's most electrifying performers. With an open heart and a powerful determination, Guerrero searched deep within himself and fought to regain the life he had lost. Above all, his journey of self-discovery reawakened his relationship with Jesus Christ, and he found peace and strength in the Bible. Before long, World Wrestling Entertainment offered Guerrero a second chance, and he seized it. From the moment of his return, it was clear he was instilled with a new focus and passion. With his nephew, Chavo Guerrero Jr., Eddie made up one half of the wildly successful Los Guerreros tag team. The pair became one of WWE's hottest attractions via a series of hilarious vignettes that allowed Guerrero's comic gifts to shine and that celebrated his Chicano heritage. Meanwhile, he continued to cement his well-deserved reputation for intensity and creativity in the ring. Ultimately, Guerrero not only regained his life, he surpassed his wildest dreams. Despite all the obstacles strewn in his path, Guerrero triumphed, becoming WWE Champion. Cheating Death, Stealing Life offers a no-holds-barred glimpse behind the curtain into the secret world of wrestling, from the harsh realities of a lifetime spent in hotels a...

Checkered Flag Cheater (Motor City Novel #3)
by Will WeaverTrace Bonham is living large as the teen driver for a professional Super Stock racing team. He's the poster boy for a nationwide advertising campaign. He's on the road instead of stuck in high school. And he's blowing away the competition wherever he races. Off the track, Trace gets all sorts of perks, from the highway cop who cuts him some slack after seeing his face on a billboard, to the attentions of "fence bunnies" who hop his way wherever he goes. But with every victory on the track--and every protest from other drivers that his engine is illegal--Trace is increasingly aware that his winning is due to more than just his driving skills. And he knows that with his girlfriend back home he's not playing it straight either. The stakes are high and the action is fast in this freestanding sequel to Super Stock Rookie, as a brilliant young athlete seems headed for a spin-out from which he may not be able to recover.

Prime Healthcare Services officials announced Sunday they'd purchased the 380-bed hospital from Dignity Health, which was formerly known as Catholic Healthcare West.
The hospital will be keeping its name and preserving its Catholic heritage. Prime Healthcare leaders say Saint Mary's will continue holding daily Mass and will maintain normal chapel hours.
Company officials say the Dominican Sisters of San Rafael will continue to serve in the hospital's Spiritual Care Services. The new owners say Prime CEO Prem Reddy has paid $1 million for the sisters' convent and will lease it back to them at no cost.
Prime is based in Ontario, Calif., and owns 17 hospitals, mostly in California.

Dre' Bly used his first press conference as a member of the Broncos to emphatically deny the rumors that spoke of displeasure with his trade to the Broncos, putting him two time zones away from his home in the Hampton Roads area of southeast Virginia.
"First, let me say nobody ever heard me say anything," Bly said. "I didn't come to the media; I didn't talk. Whenever an individual has a chance to go home, to be near your family, it's definitely something to look forward to. But I'm grateful to be a Denver Bronco, (to be with a team that) has a lot of success (and) great tradition. Everything is in the past."
"The last four years have been a struggle, being in Detroit and not winning. Having a chance to come to a playoff-caliber team, it's something that every player dreams of and wants to be in. I'm glad to be here."
Sure, the call of home tugs at Bly's heart, as it would almost any man at some point in his life. But the fact that he signed a multi-year contract showed his willingness to embrace life along the Front Range. So too did the fact that his wife Kristyn spent Monday house-hunting in the Denver area.
"My wife felt good about Denver," Bly said. "It wasn't that I didn't want to come here. Every man would love the opportunity to go home. I told Coach Shanahan you have great tradition here (and it's a) great opporutnity. My thing was our stability. I'd be able to move my family down here. Every individual. I can't be without my family, three boys and a daughter. For Dre' Bly to be the Dre' Bly he's been the last eight years, I need my family with me."
(On a personal note, I love it when players speak of themselves in the third person. It's oddly entertaining. Makes me think of Jimmy from a sixth-season episode of Seinfeld — "Jimmy's might have a compound fracture! Jimmy's going into shock!" — and George Costanza's unwitting mimickry of him: "It's the Kung Pao. George likes his chicken spicy.")
OK, back on track.

1. Indiana 2. Akron 3. Ohio State 4. Western Kentucky 5. Cincinnati 6. Oakland 7. Marquette 8. Kentucky 9. Evansville 10. Notre Dame 10. Michigan State
UB, NIU ALSO RANKED: In addition to the Great Lakes Region, which houses the bulk of the league's schools, Buffalo is also ranked this week in the state of New York Region for the ninth straight week at sixth. Northern Illinois is sixth in the Midwest Region following the Huskies' win over Kentucky.
AKRON MOVES UP IN RANKING: Akron moved up to two spots to No. 12 in the latest NSCAA/adidas poll, which was released Monday. The Zips reached their highest ranking of the year after a win against Marshall. Akron is unbeaten in its last seven matches (6-0-1), including four shutouts.
AKRON NETS ANOTHER TITLE: For the third consecutive year, Akron claimed the league's regular season title when it defeated Marshall 4-1. It was also the team's fourth title over the last five years. Prior to this year's title, the Zips have advanced to the championship match in each of the years that Akron has won the league's regular season title.
BG READY FOR THE TOURNEY: Following a strong finish to the end of the regular season, Bowling Green appears to be ready for the upcoming conference tournament. The Falcons, who are the only school to appear in each of the five previous championship matches, are shooting for their fourth championship title. BG owns a MAC tournament mark of 11-2, which is nearly an 85 percent success rate in the postseason tournament.
CARMICHAEL NETS 'EM FOR HERD: Heading into the tournament, Marshall freshman Byron Carmichael is on a scoring tear. The first-year player leads all rookies with nine goals, including two that he picked up over the weekend. Carmichael is also second in scoring among newcomers with 20 points, trailing only Akron's Torbjrn Birkeland, which is seventh in the league.
WIN FOR NIU BIG IN MANY WAYS: Northern Illinois' win over Kentucky to close out the regular season was the Huskies third straight and 10th this season. NIU has not won four straight since opening the 1998 season with four consecutive wins. It marked the eighth time in head coach Willy Roy's tenure that the Huskies reached the double digit total in the win column. The victory was also Roy's 125th as Huskie head coach and the 275th of his career. Roy notched 117 outdoor wins while coaching the Chicago Sting of the North American Soccer League and 133 indoor triumphs while heading the Sting of the Major Indoor Soccer league.
WHAT A TIME TO SCORE A GOAL: Northern Illinois' Robby Berkley and Bowling Green's Matt Lyons picked the right time to notch their first goals of the season. Each tallied a pair of goals in their final regular season matches, with the second goal for both being a game-winner and Lyons' tally occurring in overtime. Prior to Lyons scoring his goals, the junior had tallied only one previous marker in 43 games.
BUTCHER TALLIES YET ANOTHER ONE: Buffalo senior Steve Butcher tallied his 14th goal of the season in the Bulls' loss to Marshall. Butcher, who is tied for the league lead with NIU's Dan Parisi, has scored at least one goal in three straight matches and seven of his last eight.
THE SUCCESS OF NO. 1 TEAMS: In the five year history of the men's MAC soccer tournament, the top ranked team in the tourney has had its fair share of pressure but has also enjoyed plenty of success. Three No. 1 seeds have won championships -- Miami (1994), Bowling Green (1996) and Akron (1998) -- while the Falcons won as a No. 2 seed in 1995 and a No. 3 seed in 1997.

Been making CGI art for over 10 years now. Started with Bryce and Poser. Lately doing a lot of 3D fractals with programs such as Jwildfire, Incendia, Mandelbulber and so on. Over the years I used multiple techniques to make my images. So I am not really holding on to 1 style or something. If there is 1 thing that is consistent, then that is the fact the a lot of my images do have 1 "focus point", they are not complicated, no busy layouts and so on.
Oh, and about the Following feature here: I Follow the art and/or artists I like, I do not follow because I am followed ;-)

- Voltage-Dependent C-Type Inactivation in a Constitutively Open K Channel
Voltage-Dependent C-Type Inactivation in a Constitutively Open K Channel
Biophysical Journal, Volume 95, Issue 6, 15 September 2008, Pages 2759-2778
Gianina Panaghie, Kerry Purtell, Kwok-Keung Tai and Geoffrey W. Abbott
AbstractMost voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels undergo C-type inactivation during sustained depolarization. The voltage dependence and other mechanistic aspects of this process are debated, and difficult to elucidate because of concomitant voltage-dependent activation. Here, we demonstrate that MinK-KCNQ1 (IKs) channels with an S6-domain mutation, F340W in KCNQ1, exhibit constitutive activation but voltage-dependent C-type inactivation. F340W-IKs inactivation was sensitive to extracellular cation concentration and species, and it altered ion selectivity, suggestive of pore constriction. The rate and extent of F340W-IKs inactivation and recovery from inactivation were voltage-dependent with physiologic intracellular ion concentrations, and in the absence or presence of external K+, with an estimated gating charge, zi, of ∼1. Finally, double-mutant channels with a single S4 charge neutralization (R231A,F340W-IKs) exhibited constitutive C-type inactivation. The results suggest that F340W-IKs channels exhibit voltage-dependent C-type inactivation involving S4, without the necessity for voltage-dependent opening, allosteric coupling to voltage-dependent S6 transitions occurring during channel opening, or voltage-dependent changes in ion occupancy. The data also identify F340 as a critical hub for KCNQ1 gating processes and their modulation by MinK, and present a unique system for further mechanistic studies of the role of coupling of C-type inactivation to S4 movement, without contamination from voltage-dependent activation.

Pore- and State-Dependent Cadmium Block of IKs Channels Formed with MinK-55C and Wild-Type KCNQ1 Subunits
Biophysical Journal, Volume 84, Issue 6, 1 June 2003, Pages 3679-3689
Haijun Chen, Federico Sesti and Steve A.N. Goldstein
AbstractHuman MinK and KCNQ1 subunits assemble to form IKs channels. When MinK position 55 is mutated to cysteine (MinK-55C), IKs channels can be blocked by external cadmium (Cd2+). We have supported a pore-associated location for MinK-55C because Cd2+ block is sensitive to voltage, permeant ions on the opposite side of the membrane (trans-ions), and external tetraethylammonium (TEA), an IKs pore-blocker. Two recent reports argue that MinK-55C is distant from the pore: one finds TEA does not affect Cd2+ block if channels are formed with a KCNQ1 mutant (K318I, V319Y) that increases TEA affinity; the second proposes that Cd2+ binds between MinK-55C and a cysteine in KCNQ1 that is posited to lie toward the channel periphery. Here, these discrepancies are considered. First, Cd2+ block of MinK-55C channels formed with wild-type KCNQ1 is shown to depend not only on voltage and trans-ions but state (showing decreased on-rate with increased open time and blocker trapping on channel closure). Conversely, MinK-55C channels with K318I, V319Y KCNQ1 are found to demonstrate Cd2+ block that is independent of voltage, trans-ions and state (and to have a lower unitary conductance): thus, the KCNQ1 mutations alter the process under study, yielding Cd2+ inhibition that is pore-independent and, perforce, TEA-insensitive. Second, MinK-55C channels are found to remain sensitive to Cd2+ despite mutation of any single native cysteine in KCNQ1 or all nine simultaneously; this suggests no KCNQ1 cysteine binds Cd2+ and can serve to localize MinK-55C. Despite many concerns that are enumerated, we remain obliged to conclude that Cd2+ enters and leaves the pore to reach MinK-55C, placing that residue in or near the pore.

Serial Perturbation of MinK in IKs Implies an α-Helical Transmembrane Span Traversing the Channel Corpus
Biophysical Journal, Volume 93, Issue 7, 1 October 2007, Pages 2332-2340
Haijun Chen and Steve A.N. Goldstein
AbstractIKs channels contain four pore-forming KCNQ1 subunits and two accessory MinK subunits. MinK influences surface expression, voltage-dependence of gating, conduction, and pharmacology to yield the attributes characteristic of native channels in heart. The structure and location of the MinK transmembrane domain (TMD) remains a matter of scrutiny. As perturbation of gating analysis has correctly inferred the peripheral location and α-helical nature of TMDs in pore-forming subunits, the method is applied here to human MinK. Tryptophan and Asparagine substitution at 23 consecutive sites yields perturbation with α-helical periodicity (residues 44–56) followed by an alternating impact pattern (residues 56–63). Arginine substitution across the span suggests that as few as eight sites are occluded from aqueous solution (residues 50–57). We favor a TMD model that is α-helical with the external portion of the span at a lipid-protein boundary and the inner portion within the channel corpus in complex interactions.

Add/View Comments (0)Charybdotoxin Binding in the IKs Pore Demonstrates Two MinK Subunits in Each Channel Complex
Haijun Chen1, Leo A. Kim1, Sindhu Rajan, Shuhua Xu and Steve A.N. Goldstein*,
Correspondence: Steve A.N. Goldstein, 203-737-2214 (phone), 203-737-2290 (fax)1 These authors contributed equally to this work.
- IKs voltage-gated K+ channels contain four pore-forming KCNQ1 subunits and MinK accessory subunits in a number that has been controversial. Here, IKs channels assembled naturally by monomer subunits are compared to those with linked subunits that force defined stoichiometries. Two strategies that exploit charybdotoxin (CTX)-sensitive subunit variants are applied. First, CTX on rate, off rate, and equilibrium affinity are found to be the same for channels of monomers and those with a fixed 2:4 MinK:KCNQ1 valence. Second, 3H-CTX and an antibody are used to directly quantify channels and MinK subunits, respectively, showing 1.97 ± 0.07 MinK per IKs channel. Additional MinK subunits do not enter channels of monomeric subunits or those with fixed 2:4 valence. We conclude that two MinK subunits are necessary, sufficient, and the norm in IKs channels. This stoichiometry is expected for other K+ channels that contain MinK or MinK-related peptides (MiRPs).

The OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and Tax Administrations provide guidance on the application of the arms length principle, which is the international consensus on transfer pricing, i.e. on the valuation, for tax purposes, of cross-border transactions between associated enterprises. In a global economy where multinational enterprises (MNEs) play a prominent role, transfer pricing is high on the agenda of tax administrators and taxpayers alike. Governments need to ensure that the taxable profits of MNEs are not artificially shifted out of their jurisdictions and that the tax base reported by MNEs in their respective countries reflect the economic activity undertaken therein. For taxpayers, it is essential to limit the risks of economic double taxation that may result from a dispute between two countries on the determination of an arms length remuneration for their cross-border transactions with associated enterprises.
After having been originally published in 1979, the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines were approved by the OECD Council in their original version in 1995. A limited update was made in 2009, primarily to reflect the adoption, in the 2008 update of the Model Tax Convention, of a new paragraph 5 of Article 25 dealing with arbitration, and of changes to the Commentary on Article 25 on mutual agreement procedures to resolve cross-border tax disputes. In the 2010 edition, Chapters I-III were substantially revised, with new guidance on: the selection of the most appropriate transfer pricing method to the circumstances of the case; the practical application of transactional profit methods (transactional net margin method and profit split method); and on the performance of comparability analyses. Furthermore, a new Chapter IX, on the transfer pricing aspects of business restructurings, was added. Consistency changes were made to the rest of the Guidelines.

Wednesday, March 16, 2011 Overseas aid offers flow inHelp is arriving from across the globe as nations vow assistanceBy MASAMI ITO
Staff writer
Offers of help have been streaming in from abroad in the wake of the massive earthquake and tsunami that wiped whole towns off the map in the northeast. Day by day, international rescue teams have been arriving in the country. So far, hundreds of rescuers have arrived from South Korea, Singapore, China, the U.S., Germany, Switzerland, Britain, France, Australia, New Zealand, the United Nations, Russia, Taiwan and Mexico. A 12-member team from Mongolia was set to arrive at Narita International Airport later Tuesday. U.S. President Barack Obama said Monday morning in Washington that he was "heartbroken by the images of devastation in Japan" and reiterated the strong U.S. commitment to providing assistance. But explosions at a nuclear plant in Fukushima Prefecture may affect rescuers' activities. A team from Mexico that was heading north after arriving Monday turned back because of the explosions and was in Tokyo on Tuesday, the Foreign Ministry's Mexico, Central America and Caribbean Division said. Meanwhile, 102 countries and regions, as well as 14 international organizations, had offered their support as of Tuesday afternoon. Most recently, nations including Afghanistan, Rwanda and Gabon expressed their intention to send assistance. Bodies such as the Palestinian Authority, Asia Development Bank and the International Atomic Energy Agency also had pledged support. "I want to reiterate America's support for the people of Japan, who are some of our closest friends and allies," Obama said before a speech at a school in Virginia. "And I've said directly to the prime minister of Japan, Prime Minister (Naoto) Kan, that the United States will continue to offer any assistance we can as Japan recovers from multiple disasters, and we will stand with the people of Japan in the difficult days ahead." Late Monday afternoon, Kan spoke with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev who said his government "was prepared to cooperate not only in the form of humanitarian aid but also in energy supply." According to the Foreign Ministry, Kan also spoke by telephone with New Zealand Prime Minister John Key, whose country suffered its own devastating earthquake late last month in Christchurch, where some Japanese nationals remain missing. Key said his government was prepared to give additional assistance and that Japan should not hesitate to ask. "All the people of New Zealand are shocked and distressed by the earthquake in Japan, which occurred soon after the earthquake in Christchurch," Key was quoted as saying. "Japan's severe situation may continue for several weeks or months. However, I believe that under the leadership of Prime Minister Kan the people of Japan will take a strong step to put this tragedy behind and proceed to a path toward the reconstruction." The government has repeatedly expressed gratitude to the international community and has said it is sorting out the situation in the disaster area and is accepting help as needed. "We are truly grateful for the support that so many countries have offered at a time of what can be called a national crisis for Japan," Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said earlier in the week. "In order to make use of everyone's support and good will . . . we are trying to sort out the reports (on the situation in the disaster areas) and are asking for their support." Related links |
