AP Interview: Japan nuke probe head defends report
TOKYO (AP) ? The head of a major investigation into Japan's nuclear disaster is defending his report against criticism that his panel avoided blaming individuals and instead blamed elements of the nation's culture.
Kiyoshi Kurokawa, a doctor who headed the Fukushima Nuclear Accident Independent Investigation Commission, said he sticks with his view that the catastrophe was "Made in Japan," underlining collusion among the regulators and the utility that had set off the worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl. He said his panel intentionally stopped short of naming individual culprits.
"No one takes responsibility in Japan, even those in positions of responsibility," Kurokawa told The Associated Press this week at his commission office in Tokyo. "This is unique to Japan, a culture that stresses conformity, where people don't complain."
People are complaining, however, about the commission's report, not only for lacking specifics on responsibility but for making statements on Japan's culture that appeared in the English-language version of the document but not the Japanese version.
The 641-page report, released in July, compiled interviews with 1,167 people and scoured documents obtained from nuclear regulators and Tokyo Electric Power Co., the utility that operated Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant.
A devastating March 2011 tsunami set off by a 9.0 magnitude quake destroyed backup generators and sent Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant into multiple meltdowns and explosions. About 150,000 people were evacuated from a 20-kilometer (12-mile) no-go zone. Fears remain in Fukushima about cancer and other sickness from radiation.
The independent panel of 10 experts, including a lawyer, former diplomat and chemist, was appointed by the legislature. It is a style of investigation common in Western nations but was unprecedented in Japan.
The panel's report has drawn criticism from Japanese and overseas critics.
"One searches in vain through these pages for anyone to blame," Columbia University professor and Japan expert Gerald Curtis wrote in an opinion piece submitted to The Financial Times. "To pin the blame on culture is the ultimate cop-out. If culture explains behavior, then no one has to take responsibility."
Tatsujiro Suzuki, vice chairman of the government Atomic Energy Commission, which promotes nuclear technology, was critical of the differences between the English and Japanese versions of the report. He said it appeared to be putting on one face to the Japanese people, while presenting another abroad.
The preface of the English version said, "What must be admitted ? very painfully ? is that this was a disaster 'Made in Japan.' Its fundamental causes are to be found in the ingrained conventions of Japanese culture: our reflexive obedience; our reluctance to question authority; our devotion to 'sticking with the program;' our groupism and our insularity," he wrote in the English version.
The passage wasn't in the Japanese message. But Kurokawa said he made similar points in other parts of the report in Japanese.
He said he wanted to reach a global audience by pointing to the longtime practice of handing plum jobs to retired bureaucrats, the half-century domination by a single party, and elitist employees taking lifetime jobs for granted as a peculiar "mindset" that fosters irresponsibility, slow decision-making and dubious governance.
"I didn't want to say it, but it is 'Made in Japan,'" Kurokawa said. "This is about Japanese culture and values. There is nowhere else quite like that."
Tokyo prosecutors recently accepted a request by a group of lawyers to carry out an investigation into criminal charges of professional negligence against regulators and the nuclear plant's management. If prosecutors move ahead, their power to subpoena records, raid offices and question officials would be far greater than that of Kurokawa's panel.
Kurokawa said such an investigation was welcome as a sign of a "healthy democracy." He said his six-month investigation offered plenty of fodder for a criminal inquiry. He said it showed that bureaucrats brushed off evidence of tsunami risks that had been clear as far back as 2006, and that representatives from international watchdog groups took travel money from the utilities. He said it may not have the names, but the dates and circumstances are there so all the investigators have to do is check, he said.
Japanese media have reported that prosecutors waited for Kurokawa's report before deciding to take up a criminal investigation. The report's finding that the accident was preventable and manmade made it more likely the prosecutors would investigate.

Human stem cells restore hearing in gerbil study
NEW YORK (AP) ? For the first time, scientists have improved hearing in deaf animals by using human embryonic stem cells, an encouraging step for someday treating people with certain hearing disorders.
"It's a dynamite study (and) a significant leap forward," said one expert familiar with the work, Dr. Lawrence Lustig of the University of California, San Francisco.
The experiment involved an uncommon form of deafness, one that affects fewer than 1 percent to perhaps 15 percent of hearing-impaired people. And the treatment wouldn't necessarily apply to all cases of that disorder. Scientists hope the approach can be expanded to help with more common forms of deafness. But in any case, it will be years before human patients might benefit.
Results of the work, done in gerbils, were reported online Wednesday in the journal Nature by a team led by Dr. Marcelo Rivolta of the University of Sheffield in England.
To make the gerbils deaf in one ear, scientists killed nerve cells that transmit information from the ear to the brain. The experiment was aimed at replacing those cells.
Human embryonic stem cells can be manipulated to produce any type of cell. Using them is controversial because they are initially obtained by destroying embryos. Once recovered, stem cells can be grown and maintained in a lab and the experiment used cells from lab cultures.
The stem cells were used to make immature nerve cells. Those were then transplanted into the deaf ears of 18 gerbils.
Ten weeks later, the rodents' hearing ability had improved by an average of 46 percent, with recovery ranging from modest to almost complete, the researchers reported.
And how did they know the gerbils could hear in their deafened ears? They measured hearing ability by recording the response of the brain stem to sound.
The gerbils were kept on medication to avoid rejecting the human cells, much like people who get transplants of human organs, Rivolta said. But that might not be necessary if the procedure proceeds to people, he said. Scientists may be able to work with stem cells that closely match a patient, or even use a different technology to make the transplanted cells from a patient's own tissue, he said.
Rivolta's team also reported making immature versions of a second kind of inner-ear cell. Transplants of those cells might be able to treat far more cases of hearing loss. But the team has not yet tested these in animals, Rivolta said.
Yehoash Raphael of the University of Michigan, who didn't participate in the work, said it's possible the stem cell transplants worked by stimulating the gerbils' own few remaining nerve cells, rather than creating new ones. But either way, "this is a big step forward in use of stem cells for treating deafness," he said.

Forgery fight gets boost from invisible barcode
5 hrs.
Scientists?in the United States have made an invisible version of square modern barcodes using nanoparticles and fluorescent ink to help in the fight against counterfeiting.
Blocks of black and white Quick Response (QR) codes are increasingly common in marketing and can hold a hundred times more information than traditional barcodes. Smartphones can scan them in printed adverts to navigate to company websites.
Researchers have found out how to print them with inks that are only visible under laser light, giving them potential in the fight against fake banknotes and counterfeiting, which the OECD estimates costs the world economy more than $250 billion a year.
The invisible QR code, made by scientists at the University of South Dakota and South Dakota School of Mines & Technology, is made of tiny nanoparticles mixed into fluorescent ink, which can only be seen when illuminated with a near-infrared laser.
The process is known as "upconversion" where the nanoparticles absorb photons at a certain wavelength and then emit them at a shorter wavelength visible in normal light.
"We can also change our parameters to make it even more difficult to counterfeit, such as controlling the intensity of the upconverting light or using inks with a higher percentage of nanoparticles," said Jeevan Meruga, who led the research.
Once lit up with the laser, the code can be scanned with a mobile phone, but the technique allows deeper levels of security with the ability to conceal information that can only be read with a microscope.
The invisible codes can still be read after paper has been folded many times and can also be printed other materials, including glass and flexible plastic film, so they could be used for a variety of products vulnerable to faking.
The research was published in the academic journal Nanotechnology.?

Be sure to pay bills on time, along with making sure to pay more than your owed minimal amount. Many people only stick to paying the minimum amount due because either they don?t have more or it?s just convenient, but unfortunately this is how a small debt can quickly spiral out of control.
When you do meet with a lawyer make sure that they answer all of your questions and that they do not charge you for consultation alone. Free consultations are standard practice among bankruptcy lawyers, so interview multiple candidates before making a final decision. Choose an attorney who is experienced, educated and well-versed in bankruptcy laws. Take your time choosing the right attorney to assist in your bankruptcy. Take the time to meet with a number of attorneys.
Spend time with friends and family to keep your stress levels to a minimum through the bankruptcy filing process. Bankruptcy can really wear down your emotional reserves. It is often overwhelming, and not quick. Some people may feel embarrassed or feel their self-esteem has taken a beating from it. A lot of people become depressed and withdrawn until their bankruptcy is discharged. But, keeping to yourself is likely to cause even greater sadness and despair. Because of this, it?s vital you keep spending some time with the people you love despite what you are currently going through.
Knowledge is power when you?re considering bankrupcy; there are many websites available to help you. The U.S. Justice Department, the ABI (American Bankruptcy Institute), as well as the NABCA (National Assoc. Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys) are excellent sources of information. You need to spend some time gathering valuable information so you can file your bankruptcy with confidence.
Once the bankruptcy is a few months old, you should re-evaluate your credit with all three of the credit bureaus to confirm accuracy. Be certain that the report is an accurate representation about your discharged debts and accounts for credit cards that are closed. If anything is incorrect, then follow up quickly and start repairing your credit.
Before filing for bankruptcy, be sure to choose the kind of bankruptcy that is best for your personal financial situation. There is more than one type of bankruptcy. Be sure to research every one prior to filing. Look at what benefits you will gain, along with what problems, and always discuss the situation with someone knowledgeable before you do anything.
When you are forced to file for bankruptcy, you should have some excellent knowledge on what to do. The process is anything but simple, and information will become your best friend during this difficult time. The article you just read have you some of this advice, meaning you can deal with your situation much better
