Baseball: Slumping Ichiro left out of Seattle lineup
While Ichiro Suzuki restlessly took a night off, Carlos Peguero and the Seattle Mariners rallied to win without him. Peguero homered and tripled starting in place of Ichiro in right field, and the Mariners beat the Detroit Tigers 3-2 on Friday night. The struggling Ichiro, who had played in 255 consecutive games, was given a chance to rest. Peguero, a rookie playing his 26th major league game, helped Seattle overcome a 2-1 deficit. (Japan Times)
In the first week of June, media attention shifted briefly from the Fukushima reactor calamity to skirmishes on the floor of the National Diet, where the government headed by Prime Minister Naoto Kan survived a no-confidence vote. But the Fukushima reactor troubles keep coming back, creating a state of affairs best summed up by an obscure corollary to Murphy's Law that goes, "After things have gone from bad to worse, the cycle repeats itself." While workers and remote-controlled robots were struggling to grapple with the hydra-headed reactor troubles, a separate story went viral on YouTube, where a movie uploaded by a user named "yuunosato" on May 21 had already been viewed more than 1.8 million times as of June 9.
