【GOLF】欧州男子:賞金レース展望 米ツアーとのバランスがカギ!? J.ローズのプレーに注目!
ルーク・ドナルド(英)、ローリー・マキロイ(北アイルランド)と2年続けて欧米同時賞金王が誕生したように、今年も欧州男子ツアーの賞金レースの行方はメジャー大会と世界ゴルフ選手権(WGC)での活躍がカギを握ることになる。
欧州ツアーは10年以上前からアジア、南ア、豪州のツアーと共催する試合が増加。海外に活路を見出しながらツアーを存続させている。そんな事情もあって、米国に移住し、主戦場を米男子ツアーに移す選手が増加。マキロイ、ドナルド、リー・ウェストウッド(英)ら主力選手のほとんどが、今季は軸足を米国に移すことが話題となっている。
言い換えれば、ドナルド、マキロイ、ウエストウッドが米ツアーと平行して賞金レースを引っ張るのは間違いないが、意外にカギを握っているのはジャスティン・ローズ(英)だ。ローズも米フロリダ州に本拠地を置き、欧米両ツアーでプレーしているが、やはり試合数は米ツアーのほうが多い。昨季はWGC-キャデラック選手権で優勝、米男子ツアーのプレーオフシリーズ最終戦、ザ・ツアー選手権で2位、欧州ツアー最終戦のDPワールドツアー選手権 ドバイも2位と高額賞金大会で効率よく稼いで、マキロイに続く欧州賞金ランク2位に入っている。
32歳と中堅と呼ばれる年齢になり、メジャーでの優勝はないが、安定した実力は折り紙つきだ。目立ったプレーを続けるベテランや新鋭の中、きっちりと自分の地位を築いてきたローズが、大きく花開くかどうか。こちらに目を向けるのも、通ならではの欧州ツアーの楽しみ方だ。【関連記事】 欧州勢の米ツアー流失に首を傾げるC.モンゴメリー 選手流出に悩める欧州ツアーの苦悩 欧州ツアーの来季スケジュール発表! ロシア、トルコなどに進出 男子ゴルフ 世界ランキング 【男子プロフォトギャラリー】

内柴被告、隣室の別の女子部員との性行為も認める「以前から告白されていた」 第5回公判
泥酔した教え子の女子柔道部員に乱暴したとして、準強姦罪に問われたアテネ・北京両五輪の柔道金メダリスト、内柴正人被告(34)の第5回公判が28日、東京地裁(鬼沢友直裁判長)であった。 被告人質問で内柴被告は、複数の部員らと飲食後に訪れたカラオケ店で、隣に座った被害部員の方から寄りかかってきたと説明し、「教え子と先生の関係だが、大学生の女性ということで、気分は悪くなかった」と振り返った。 その後、キスや性的な接触を続けるうちに気分が高まり、滞在中のホテルに戻って性行為に及んだとし「部員は流れにすべて応じた。(性行為を)了承していると感じた」と強調。部員が「奥さんいるのにいいんですか?」などと発言したことを挙げ、就寝中ではなかったと訴えた。 内柴被告はさらに、被害部員の部屋を出た後、隣室の別の女子部員と性行為を行ったことを認めた。この部員については「以前から2、3回告白されていた」と釈明。同様に了承を得た上で行為に及んだとした。 起訴状などによると、内柴被告は昨年9月、コーチを務めていた九州看護福祉大女子柔道部の遠征先だった東京都八王子市のホテルで、酒に酔った10代の女子部員に乱暴したとされる。女性は「間違いなく起きており合意の上だった」 内柴被告、起訴内容を否認

『キレる女懲りない男』
男女の脳はつくりが違うとは聞いたことがあったけれど、これほどまでに違うものだとは思わなかった。そもそも男女では見えている景色が違うらしい。女性には見えて、男性には見えない色というものが存在するそうだ。そんなことは考えてみたこともなかった。とすると異性というのは、似て非なる生き物である。多くの大人たちはそのことを理解せず、異性の脳を自分の脳と同じものとして扱おうとするから、ストレスを感じてしまう。著者いわくそれは
“オーブントースターにふっくらご飯を炊くことを期待してはがっかりしている”
ように見えるそうだ。その性能の違いから男女のすれ違いはよく起こる。オーブントースターにはオーブントースターの使い方があるように、男性脳には男性脳の、女性脳には女性脳の使い方がある。その違いを理解することで、異性とのコミュニケーションがより円滑になり、お互いにハッピーになれるのではないだろうか。思ってもみなかったことが異性にとっては地雷だったりする。その地雷を避けるためにもこの本はとても有効である。
女性が料理を準備していて、その間ずっとテレビを見ている男性。そろそろ出来上がりそうだという頃合いになっても、男性はまだテレビを見ている。そして女性から「どうしてそうなの?」と怒られる。こういった風景は容易に想像がつく。私にも身に覚えがある。出来上がりそうだと思って、テーブルを片づけて、取り皿を用意する。そういったことが男性にはできない。なぜなら察して先んじてフォローをする。そういった性能が男性脳には搭載されてないからだ。女性にはまずそのことを理解してもらいたい。決して思いやりがないから、動いていないのではない。脳にその機能がないので、言われないと思い至らないだけである。
こう言われても、できる男もいるでしょ?そんなのは言い訳にしかすぎない。という女性がいるだろう。しかし、これらの能力は後天的に身につけたもので、一般の男性には搭載されてないのが現実だ。いうなればオプションみたいなものなのだ。ではどうしたらいいか?女性から「○○は、あなたにお願いするわね。よろしくね。」といえば、男性がやってくれるようになるかもしれない。男というのは計画的に任務を遂行する能力には優れているから、それが自分の任務となれば確実にやってくれるはずだ。
上記のシチュエーションで、「言ってくれればやったのに」という言葉を、彼女や妻に発したことのある男性はいないだろうか?もし言ったことがあるのならば、この本を読んで悔い改めたほうがいいだろう。そして二度とこの言葉は使わないことをオススメする。この言葉は「夫のムカつく一言」というアンケートで堂々の2位にランキングされている。男にとってはフォローのつもりで言っているのだけど、女性からすると「察することを放棄することば」に聞こえ、言われると想像以上に傷つくそうだ。
女性にとってはこれから起こるべきことを察し、先んじてフォローしてくれるということが、自分をいつも大切に思ってくれているという証になるのだ。だからレディーファーストの精神は理にかなっているし、女性から喜ばれる。モテる男はこういったことをさり気なくやるんだよね。一般の男性にはこの資質は備わってないので、こういうときは「言ってくれればやったのに」ではなく、「気がつかなくてごめん」というべきである。これだけで家庭円満になるかもしれない。
このように、男女の脳の性差とその対処法がこの本には載っている。女性はなぜ突然キレるのかとか、女性に過去の浮気を告白してはいけないだとか、男女間の地雷の回避方法がわかり、個人的にも多いに参考になった。(いままでいかに地雷をどっかんどっかん踏んできたかを大いに気づかされた)
また男性はなぜ目の前のものを見つけられないのか?とか、女性が男性の部下にいってはいけない言葉など、女性からしても、なんで男ってこうなの?といった疑問が解消されること間違いなしである。目から鱗の話もたくさんあるので、ぜひ読んでみてほしい。異性の脳の性能を知れば、きっといまよりも異性のことが愛おしく思えるはずだ。田中 大輔【関連記事】 『キレる女懲りない男』 大正時代のおしゃれ女子『モダンガール大図鑑』 『少女系きのこ図鑑』 『芸術家たちの臨終図鑑』死から読み解く西洋絵画 『スタンフォードの自分を変える教室』意志力の科学

フジアナウンス部 社員食堂忘年会に「あんまりだ」の声出る
ネット右翼からは「韓流ゴリ押し」と叩かれ、ついに視聴率は3位転落……。どうもフジテレビにはいい話題がない。ここは忘年会でパァッと飲んで、復活を誓いたいところ――。しかし不景気の折からか、そうはいかなかったようだ。
フジテレビのアナウンス部に近い社員が語る。
「2年前まで、アナウンス部の忘年会は近所のホテル日航の宴会場で盛大に開かれていました。特に2010年は、アヤパン(高島彩)の送別会も兼ねていたからガンガンに盛り上がった。
宴会場の入り口には『海猿』のポスターを模した案内板が出ていたり、この日のために特別なVTRが作られたり、女子アナたちが出し物を披露したりと豪勢な立食パーティだった。ところが今回(12月14日)は、局内の社食(社員食堂)で開催された。“視聴率が悪いからってあんまりだ”という声も聞こえてきました」

Gov. Tom Corbett
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania's governor says he intends to file a federal antitrust lawsuit against the NCAA in an effort to overturn what he said were "harsh penalties" against Penn State because of the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal.
Gov. Tom Corbett, flanked by members of his staff and current and former students and athletes from the school, says the NCAA punished students, the community and businesses around the university, not the former assistant football coach who molested children.
The sanctions imposed in July included a $60 million fine for child abuse prevention grants, a four-year bowl game ban for the university's marquee football program and the forfeiture of 112 wins.
Corbett says the lawsuit to be filed later Wednesday would show the NCAA actions were overreaching and unlawful.
an Israeli security source said.
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli forces raided the West Bank city of Jenin in search of a suspected Palestinian militant on Thursday, setting off clashes with residents who threw rocks and petrol bombs at them, an Israeli security source said.
It was the second time this week that Israeli forces had entered the Jenin area to detain suspects.
On Tuesday, Israeli soldiers disguised as Palestinians raided the village of Tamoun, arresting a member of the Islamic Jihad group. Several dozen Palestinians were injured in ensuing clashes, medical officials said.
In Thursday's incident, the soldiers clashed with some 500 Palestinians, forcing them out of Jenin, the security source said. An elderly Palestinian woman was slightly injured by a dog used by Israeli forces during the operation.
A military source said a Palestinian was arrested in Thursday's raid - though not the suspect in whose pursuit Israel had launched the operation. The source did not give further details on the detainee.
Jenin is under the control of the Palestinian Authority, which exercises limited self-rule in the West Bank under interim peace accords with Israel.
Israel has reserved the right to carry out its own operations against militants in the West Bank.

according to documents filed with the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
(Reuters) - Subaru is recalling as many as 634,000 vehicles in the United States for potential lighting problems that could lead to smoke or fire, according to U.S. safety regulators.
The recall by Subaru, owned by Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd, potentially affects some Forester vehicles from model years 2009 through 2012, all Legacy and Outback vehicles from model years 2010 through 2012, and some Tribeca vehicles from model years 2006 through 2012, according to documents filed with the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The 633,842 vehicles potentially affected by the recall may be equipped with accessory puddle lights that when lit brighten the areas under the doors, according to NHTSA documents.
A Subaru spokesman said the recall involves only 53,999 cars equipped with the lights, but the wider number of owners must be alerted because the company does not know which cars have them.
There have been no reports of accidents or injuries related to the issue, but there was one report of smoke, the spokesman said.
A short circuit can develop when the light or connector are exposed to an electrolytic moisture source such as road spray that has road salt in it, the NHTSA said. That can cause heat that could melt the plastic, resulting in smoke or fire.
Subaru will notify owners, and dealers will install an additional harness, the NHTSA said. The recall is expected to begin next month.

Once in the lab
Nearly 700 feet (more than 200 meters) under the Svartisen glacier in northern Norway, researchers are huddled together underground. In the world's only lab located inside one of these giant hunks of ice, they are carrying out some of the best experiments on the movement and composition of glaciers ever done.
The lab, operated by the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate, is located above the Arctic Circle. It started out as a tunnel for hydropower, but then researchers persuaded the hydropower company to dig out one small extra tunnel just for them and created a valuable in-site lab.
Normally to get access to the base of a glacier, it is necessary to drill a borehole through the ice. Doing so involves a huge logistics operation and also means that researchers can work only where the surface ice isn't too badly cracked. Using the new lab, researchers can visit exactly the same location at the glacier bed each time — and it's much easier for them to get access to the base.
But the in-site lab comes with its own set of challenges.
Icy challenges
To access the remote workspace, researchers have to fly to a small northern Norwegian town, then drive for hours, take a ferry, walk along a dirt road and up a mountain. From the entrance to the tunnel, it's another mile-plus trek up a set of stairs to the lab. It's a one-hour walkin total when conditions are good, but when there is fresh snow to trudge through on the way to the entrance, the slog can take four to five hours. [See images of the glacier lab .]
To get to different parts of the glacier bed to study how the ice slides over the rock beneath, the researchers melt additional 30- to 40-foot-long (9 to 12 m) tunnels using hot water. "The water is heated up in a large hot-water heater that is in the main tunnel. The hot water is then pumped up the ice tunnel," said Miriam Jackson, a senior research scientist and glaciologist with the directorate. Melting a glacier from the inside out is a slow process — creating one ice tunnel takes around 24 to 48 hours.
Working under the glacier instead of the cold surface protects the researchers from some challenges, but it's still a tough environment.
"Some people find the stress of being in the tunnel system a challenge, and although this is unusual, tempers can occasionally fray, especially for groups that have limited experience of glaciological fieldwork," Jackson said.
Seismic signals and sliding
Once in the lab, the scientists continue their work in trying to get a read on how glaciers move and how they drain throughout the year, as well as how glaciers impact sea level rise by contributing melt water to the oceans. The laboratory is also being used to test and develop theories about the seismic signals — similar to those measured from earthquakes — that moving glaciers send.
"We can put the seismic instruments in the tunnel system, they are a lot nearer to the base of the ice, whereas normally scientists must put the instruments on the surface, even when they are studying what is happening at the base," Jackson told OurAmazingPlanet.
The team only does research in the wintertime to avoid meltwater, and the research area has room for up to six people sharing four bedrooms, a kitchen, bathroom and a shower in addition to three laboratories, a walk-in freezer, a workshop and a water heater. Most of the time there are only three to four people in the labfor a period of six to seven days between November and April.
Recent experiments measured the resistance to sliding at the base of the glacier and found that most of the resistance is due to the friction between the debris-rich ice and the bedrock — a finding that was a surprise. Previously researchers thought that ice flow past particular obstacles in the bedrock provided most of the resistance to friction of the glacier.
The ice tunnel labs provide the researchers with more than just a research site, though.
"One of the most surprising things is the beauty," Jackson said. "Each time we melt out an ice tunnel it is equally entrancing."

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — High seas and strong winds prevented crews from boarding an oil drilling ship to check for any damage after the large vessel went aground off an uninhabited island in the Gulf of Alaska.
A Coast Guard plane and a helicopter flew over the Kulluk on Tuesday, but severe weather didn't permit putting marine experts on board the drilling rig, which had grounded on a sand and gravel beach in stormy seas.
Federal on-scene response coordinator Capt. Paul Mehler said the Royal Dutch Shell drilling rig is carrying about 143,000 gallons of diesel and about 12,000 gallons of lube oil and hydraulic fluid, and appeared stable.
"There is no sign of a release of any product," Mehler said during a news conference.
A team of company, Coast Guard and local officials said they were mobilizing spill response equipment and preparing a plan in the event of a spill in the Partition Cove and Ocean Bay areas of the island. The area is home to at least two endangered species, as well as harbor seals, salmon, and sea lions.
The storm eased Tuesday, with gusts up to 35 mph and waves up to 30 feet high, and similar conditions were expected Wednesday. Officials were hoping to get marine experts onboard to take photos and videos, and then come up with a more complete salvage plan once weather permits.
The goal was to get salvagers aboard the Kulluk and the ship refloated, Mehler said.
Mehler said a team of about 500 people was working on a plan, "with many more coming."
A Shell official said the drilling rig was built with a double-sided hull of reinforced steel that is 3 inches thick. It recently had undergone $292 million in improvements before being put into service for a short time this summer in the Beaufort Sea off Alaska's north coast.
It was being towed to Seattle for maintenance last week when it separated from a towing vessel south of Kodiak Island. Repeated attempts to maintain towing lines were unsuccessful as a severe storm passed through the area. By Monday night, tow boats guided the rig to a place where it would cause the least environmental damage and cut it loose. It grounded off the southeast side of uninhabited Sitkalidak Island, which is near the larger Kodiak Island in the gulf.
U.S. Rep. Ed Markey, D-Mass., the top Democrat on the Natural Resources Committee, expressed his concerns in a statement Tuesday.
"Oil companies keep saying they can conquer the Arctic, but the Arctic keeps disagreeing with the oil companies," Markey said. "Drilling expansion could prove disastrous for this sensitive environment."
Sean Churchfield, operations manager for Shell Alaska, said once the situation is under control, an investigation will be conducted into the cause. He did not know whether the findings would be made public.
The Coast Guard said it would be investigating and would make its findings public.

who has been a vocal critic of medical device companies
CHICAGO (Reuters) - Boston Scientific Corp's new leadless implantable heart defibrillator, hailed by some as a breakthrough, should be used on a limited basis until more data are collected, a prominent cardiologist wrote in an editorial of a top medical journal.
Leads, or wires that carry electrical pulses from the defibrillator - which is implanted in the chest - to the heart have always been the weak link in these systems, used to treat irregular heart beats. All of the device makers have had problems at one time or another with leads.
Boston Scientific bought the leadless technology, known as a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator, or S-ICD, when it acquired Cameron Health last year. The Cameron device was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in the fourth quarter.
"The S-ICD has not yet been shown to be safe and effective in a diverse patient population," Robert Hauser wrote in the January issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
Hauser, of the Minneapolis Heart Institute, who has been a vocal critic of medical device companies, also noted that the leadless ICD has not even been shown to be as good as the traditional ICDs that use leads.
He said the technology is a promising one that could fill important gaps, especially by bringing it to countries where facilities to implant traditional devices is not available, but more data are needed first.
"Unless critical questions with regard to safety and efficacy in primary and secondary prevention are addressed, the S-ICD should be confined to certain subgroups," he said.
Dr. Ken Stein, Boston Scientific's Chief Medical Officer for Cardiac Rhythm Management, said there was more in Hauser's editorial that he agreed with than disagreed with.
"But it was approved by the FDA as being safe and effective," he noted in a telephone interview. "It's an alternative for physicians to consider. We agree there are absolutely some patient populations that shouldn't get it," he said.
For example, patients who have a slow heartbeat or uncoordinated pumping function should not get it because the S-ICD cannot pace a slow heart beat or resynchronize contractions of the heart's ventricles. On the other hand, the S-ICD may be a better choice for patients who are at risk for sepsis, a severe blood infection.
"For some patient populations, this is the best option," Stein said. "Somewhere in that middle ground is where the line should be drawn."
Stein said the company is currently running clinical trials and registers that will render more data, some of which will be presented in the spring at the Heart Rhythm Society meeting.
Wells Fargo analyst Larry Biegelsen called the S-ICD technology "transformational" but said this first generation device is likely to be a niche product.
"We estimate the eligible S-ICD opportunity is currently about 14 percent of the total worldwide ICD market, but estimate penetration will be low due to limitations of the first generation device," he wrote in a research note.
Biegelsen estimated worldwide sales of the S-ICD device to be $46 million in 2013. Boston Scientific had sales of $5.4 billion in the first nine months of 2012.

Biden and McConnell may have saved the day with their long working relationship.
The bill to avoid the "fiscal cliff" is finally passed and signed by President Barack Obama, and the culmination of intense negotiations between Republicans and Democrats seems to have left nearly everyone unhappy—or, at most, begrudgingly grateful that some kind of deal was reached.
Unlike elections, the legislative process doesn't always offer a clear winner and loser, and the battle over how to avoid nearly $600 billion in painful spending cuts and tax increases was no exception. But some escaped with fewer cuts and bruises than others. Here are the "winners" and "losers"—terms we use loosely.
'Winners'
President Barack Obama: The president took a beating from his own party two years ago when he cut a deal with Republicans that temporarily extended income tax rates for all income earners set by former President George W. Bush. This time, Obama refused to budge on one of his main campaign promises to increase taxes on wealthy taxpayers. As part of this deal, the income tax rate for individual earners above $400,000 and families earning above $450,000 will increase.
The president, however, failed to hold together a "grand bargain" with Republicans in what could have been a major opportunity to address ballooning entitlement spending and tax reform. But in the grand scheme of things, Democrats seemed to have come out on top.
Former President George W. Bush: The final language of the bill left many of Bush's tax rates in place. The passage suggests that there is bipartisan agreement that income tax rates on the middle-income earners should not increase. Also, taxes on capital gains and dividends will remain at 15 percent for income earners below the $400,000 threshold.
While the bill that Bush championed during his presidency had an expiration date, the tax rates set under the fiscal cliff deal are permanent.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Vice President Joe Biden: While Obama, House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid found it difficult to play nice during the negotiations, Biden and McConnell may have saved the day with their long working relationship. (Before joining the Obama administration, Biden served with McConnell in the upper chamber from 1985-2009.) Known as "the McConnell whisperer" because of his ability to work with the minority leader, Biden was able to communicate the president's message in a way Obama could not.
Indeed, it was not until Biden stepped in during the final days of negotiations that it looked as though an agreement would be reached.
Unemployed Americans reliant on federal programs: Federal benefits for Americans who have been without work for more than 26 weeks will be extended for one year, although the provision is not offset by spending decreases elsewhere.
Hollywood: The bill extended a tax break to the film and television entertainment industry for one more year. The tax incentive is meant to encourage production companies to film in the U.S. The provision costs federal coffers $430 million in potential revenue—which is something to remember when you spend $15 on a movie ticket.
'Losers'
House Speaker John Boehner: Although Boehner's efforts helped avoid the potential disaster of going over the fiscal cliff, much was conceded. Obama was able to increase federal spending and raise taxes, outcomes that many Republicans worked tirelessly to avoid. The process showed that Boehner still lacks control over his caucus, which largely rejected his own proposal. This includes his own deputies, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia and House Whip Kevin McCarthy of California, who voted against the final deal that Boehner helped negotiate.
The federal deficit: Compared with what would have happened had the federal government gone completely over the fiscal cliff—including the millions in tax increases and spending cuts that would have reduced the deficit but possibly plunged the nation into another recession—the new deal increases the deficit about $4.6 trillion over 10 years. "Washington missed this magic moment to do something big to reduce the deficit, reform our tax code and fix our entitlement programs," said Campaign to Fix the Debt co-founders Erskine Bowles and Alan Simpson in a joint statement.
Grover Norquist: The founder and president of Americans for Tax Reform says the fiscal cliff deal is not a violation of his group's anti-tax pledge. (Almost every Republican member of Congress signed a pledge never to raise tax rates.) But compared with tax rates in 2012, the final deal increases federal revenue by about $600 billion over 10 years and most Americans will receive less take-home pay in the new year.
While Norquist isn't technically calling the vote for the deal a vote for a tax increase, it is the first time since the George H.W. Bush administration that so many Republicans have approved such a broad tax hike.
Workers who will pay more into the payroll tax: The deal does not extend the payroll tax holiday, which means the federal government will take 6.2 percent from paychecks, as opposed to the 4.2 percent rate in 2012.
