...massacre are monolithic. The right-wingers "aren't really reflective of public opinion," says Jeff Kingston, a professor of Japanese history at Temple University's Tokyo campus. "Public opinion does accept responsibility for the war and does feel Japan should do more to atone." Furthermore, "there's a huge community in Japan that's trying to stop the government from rewriting history," says director Nancy Tong, whose 1992 Nanjing documentary In the Name of the Emperor helped inspire Chang's book. Indeed, Japanese activists helped track down the former soldiers interviewed in Tong's movie and in Nanking, and provided...
First, the weather. Unusually heavy snowstorms have been hammering Denver since a Christmas-week monster stranded thousands, jamming many of the city's 14,000 blocks with huge chunks of ice and leaving golden-boy Mayor John Hickenlooper with a mile-high mound of woe. Seems that the city's snowplow corps didn't have enough muscle to handle the Buffalo-level cleanups.

And unlike Apple TV, Slingbox and other hardware offerings, Joost requires nothing more than software. For now, it's by invitation only, but by this summer it will be open to the public. You'll download the free Joost software, then use it to watch channels...
...does that actually mean anything? It certainly puts more pressure on the duo, for if Penn hopes to not get immediately ushered to the sidelines, it will need huge games from its two leaders, as the Quakers have little quality depth. If Penn were to pull off an initial-round upset, it would be the first tourney win by an Ivy since 1998, when fifth-seeded Princeton beat UNLV. And if they don’t, well, the schadenfreude derived from watching the Ivy League bully get pounded by a member of college basketball’s elite ranks...
