DELTONA, Fla. - Volusia County School officials stand by a Deltona High School nurse's decision to refuse a student his inhaler during an asthma attack, citing a lack of a parent's signature on a medical release form."It's like something out of a horror film. The person just sits there and watches you die," said Michael Rudi, 17. "She sat there, looked at me and she did nothing."He said the school dean found his inhaler during a search of his locker last Friday. The inhaler was still in its original packaging -- complete with his name and directions for its use; however, the school took it away because his mother hadn't signed the proper form for him to have it. School leaders called Sue Rudi when ... Continue reading →

記者会見するオランド仏大統領=ブリュッセルのEU本部で2012年5月24日、AP 【ブリュッセル斎藤義彦】フランスのオランド大統領は23日、ブリュッセルでこの日開かれた欧州連合(EU)首脳会議に電車で来たことを明らかにした。オランド大統領は、華美な生活で知られたサルコジ前大統領との違いを強調するため「普通の人」を標ぼう。財政難の中で、閣僚に3時間以内の出張なら電車を使う質素倹約を要請しており、自らも実行した形。来月中旬の議会選対策の意味もありそうだ。 ブリュッセルはパリから特急電車で1時間20分。大統領は電車の中で記者の取材に応じたほか、首脳会議終了後の記者会見で質問を打ち切るため「電車で帰らないといけないから」とジョークを飛ばすなど、倹約ぶりをアピールした。サルコジ大統領はブリュッセルまで飛行機を常用していた。 大統領は就任後、150ユーロ(約1万5000円)を超える贈り物は受け取らない▽公用車は赤信号を守る−−など、できるだけ「普通」の生活を送るよう倫理令を出した。閣僚の中には電車で登庁する人もいる。 背景には来月10、17日に予定されている議会選で、オランド氏の社会党と保守・国民運動連合との接戦が予想されており、大統領選に続いて勝利をつかみたい事情がある。 Continue reading →
WASHINGTON, May 23, 2012 (AFP) - - New Zealand's foreign minister voiced hope Wednesday that Japan would find a way to compromise in coming years on whaling, despite a long and bitter deadlock in international negotiations.Japan each year infuriates New Zealand and Australia by killing hundreds of whales in the Antarctic Ocean, skirting a global moratorium as Tokyo classifies its expeditions as scientific research.New Zealand Foreign Minister Murray McCully said that the International Whaling Commission, which opens its annual meeting next month in Panama, was in a "holding pattern." But he voiced hope for the future."I'm hopeful that at some point in the next year or two, there will be an opportunity provided by, if you like, political windows for us to re-engage constructively," McCully ...

WELLINGTON (AFP) - The United States is monitoring the possibility of terror groups trying to down aircraft by implanting explosives in the human body, Homeland Security chief Janet Napolitano said on Wednesday.Napolitano stressed that there was no evidence of an imminent threat from a so-called "body bomb", but said the prospect was one of the ever-changing attack strategies that security officials had to combat.She cited the case of Nigerian "underwear bomber" Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, who tried to blow up an airliner in 2009 with explosives hidden in his pants, as an example of the innovations adopted by militants."It is fair to say that there are a number of ways our adversaries have explored to get explosives aboard airplanes, such as the underwear bomber," she told ...
