政府は、2030年代の原発稼働ゼロ方針を正式発表しました。
 野田総理大臣:「今こそ知恵を出し合い、負担を分かち合って、国民の皆さんと新しいエネルギー社会を築いていかなければならない」
 政府は、2030年代の原発ゼロを実現するため、原発の40年運転制限を守ることや、新設や増設は認めないこと、再稼働は原子力規制委員会の安全確認を得たものに限るという、3つの基本原則を掲げました。ただ、原発をゼロにした場合、使用済み核燃料の再処理事業が宙に浮くため、核燃料サイクル政策の見直しは先送りします。政府は、枝野経済産業大臣を青森県に派遣し、一連の政策を説明するとともに、青森県を最終処分地にしないことを重ねて伝える方針です。
http://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/ann/news/web/html/220914042.html

そんな先の話をぶち上げたのは
(1)支持率回復
(2)選挙で原発が争点になることを回避する
(3)反原発運動の沈静化
(4)民主党議員の離党防止
が目的。
アメリカが承認しない限り日本から原発が消えることは永遠にない。もちろん日本という国家が永遠に続くこともないが。

The Little Dippers – Forever(1959/12 hit 45 single version)

Charted at #9 on Billboard Hot 100 in March 1960. The relaxing sound of a more innocent time. Featuring the Anita Kerr singers. Another version of this song by Billy Walker charted at #83 around the same time. Charting remakes: #25 Hot 100 for Pete Drake in 1964 (#5 Adult Contemporary) and #79 Hot 100 in 1969 for Mercy (#24 AC).
This was the only charting single for “The Little Dippers”.
Written by Buddy Killen.
————————————-
Producer Buddy Killen recalled how it all happened in this piece 1997 piece by Wayne Jancik.
The Little Dippers – Forever
(Buddy Killen)
University 210
Billboard #9 – March 28, 1960
If not for the heartache of producer Buddy Killen and the ethereal talent of Anita Kerr–unsung heroes both–”Forever” would not be. Buddy was having a rough time coming to grips with a marital breakup; the summer of’59. “I’d close my office door, wanting to withdraw from other people,” he wrote in his book,’By The Seat Of My Pants’. “I’d sit down at the piano…a terrible­ sounding piano, miserably out of tune, with half the keys missing. I could barely play the piano, but I would clumsily and slowly form three-note chords.” One day, Buddy hit a special chord and started humming. Jane Hines, his secretary noted it’s extraordinariness; as did other office visitors. “Gee whiz,” thought Killen, “if it’s that good, I think I better make a demo on it.’
When Harold Sadler, a disgruntled Little Rock, Arkansas Chevrolet dealer, decided to start a record company [University] and approached Buddy about helping him cut some sides Killen remembered that tune; “Forever” he called it. The session was for Smilin’ Eddie Hill, a sometime singer and country DJ. With two songs in the can and 20 minutes to spare, Buddy showed his break-up ode to those studio musicians present: Floyd Cramer (piano), Hank Garland (guitar), Buddy Harmon (drums) Kelso Herston (guitar), Bob Moore (bass), and the Anita Kerr Singers. Wrote Killen: “We made one false start and had time to make a final take and the session was over.” “Two By Four,” an instrumental track, featuring Kelso Herston in the style of Duane Eddy was to be the top side. Within days, it was apparent that Buddy Killen and his buddy, the Chevy dealer, had a hit on their hands; a hit with the “B” side, “Forever.” Dick Clark called Buddy saying he wanted the “group” to be on his “American Bandstand.” Although others were assembled to tour as the Little Dippers (reportedly, Delores Dinning, Emily Gilmore, Darrel McCall, and Hunshel Wigintin) the actual voices heard on “Forever” were that of Anita Kerr and her behind-the-scene singers; tenor – Gil Wright (1930 – April 30, 2017), baritone – Louis Nunley (October 15, 1931 – October 26, 2012), alto – Dorothy “Dottie” Dillard (August 3, 1923 – May 6, 2015).

Nashville keyboard session stalwart Cramer was still a year away from achieving mainstream recognition as a recording artist in his own right when he included this track in the “Hello Blues” LP. A few months later, the Anita Kerr Singers–under the pseudonym “The Little Dippers”–would record their popular slowed-down hit version of “Forever” and the song would make a return top-40 engagement in 1964 featuring Pete Drake and his’talking steel guitar’ (and again Anita Kerr’s group)

これは児童虐待ですぞ。

 山口福祉文化大(山口県萩市)が昨年度以降、東京都墨田区のサテライト教室に通う留学生112人を授業料の未納などの理由で除籍にしたことが、東京入国管理局などへの取材でわかった。うち約70人が所在不明となっている。東京入管は今年2月、不法就労などにつながる恐れがあるとして大学に対し、除籍した学生には帰国を促すことなどを求めた。
 同教室は昨年11月、大学設置基準で定める図書室や医務室などが不備だとして文部科学省から改善を指導されていた。今年度、同教室には萩市の本校(171人)の3.5倍にあたる606人が在籍しており、大半が中国人留学生という。
 大学によると、除籍した留学生は昨年度は45人、今年度は67人の計112人。東京入管によると、うち出国が確認出来たのは約40人という。
