Suga, previously the chief cabinet sec- retary, took over as prime minister on Wednesday following elections by the gov- erning Liberal Democratic Party. His pre- decessor, Shinzo Abe, stepped down due to poor health. Suga had been Japan’s lon- gest-serving chief cabinet secretary, work- ing under Abe from 2012-20. Because of his long partnership with Abe, Japanese media has labeled Suga a “continuity candidate” expected to carry on the former prime minister’s work. Abe advocated strengthening U.S.-Japan relations, bolstering the Japan Self-De- fense Force and supporting U.S. troops in Japan, said Michael Cucek, assistant pro- fessor of Asian Studies at Temple Univer- sity’s Japan campus. Abe also pushed unsuccessfully to re- form Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution, which prohibits the use or threat of force and the creation of an offensive military. The self-made Suga shares Abe’s pro- military stance, but “was critical in say- ing there’s other things Abe could do to enhance Japan’s security,” said Stephen Nagy, a politics and international studies professor at Tokyo’s International Chris- tian University. /Department of Defense “He strategically has a lot of different LISA FERDINANDO ideas on how Japan can strengthen its se- Then-Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga signs in a visitors book at the Pentagon in Washington in May 2019. curity without that direct change to the constitution,” he said. “I think many peo- hard defense-oriented side of the party are “They will facilitate the U.S. because the announced a formal policy rejecting it. ple would like that change, but the pragma- guaranteed,” Cucek said. “We can expect security situation around Japan is getting Last year, Beijing sent a record-breaking tists

  • ‚Every Day Is 9/11!•Ž: Re-Constructing Ground Zero In
    JUCS 4 (1+2) pp. 241–261 Intellect Limited 2017 Journal of Urban Cultural Studies Volume 4 Numbers 1 & 2 © 2017 Intellect Ltd Article. English language. doi: 10.1386/jucs.4.1-2.241_1 MARTIN LUND Linnaeus University ‘Every day is 9/11!’: Re-constructing Ground Zero in three US comics ABSTRACT KEYWORDS This article analyses three comics series: writer Brian K. Vaughan and artist Tony comics Harris’ Ex Machina (August 2004–August 2010); writer Brian Wood and artist Ground Zero Riccardo Burchielli’s DMZ (November 2005–February 2012); and writer Garth 9/11 Ennis and artist Darick Robertson’s The Boys (October 2006–November 2012). archifictions Taking literary critic Laura Frost’s concept of ‘archifictions’ as its starting point, the War on Terror article discusses how these series frame the September 11 attacks on New York and architecture their aftermath, but its primary concern is with their engagement with the larger social ramifications of 9/11 and with the War on Terror, and with how this engage- ment is rooted in and centred on Ground Zero. It argues that this rooting allows these comics’ creators to critique post-9/11 US culture and foreign policy, but that it also, ultimately, serves to disarm the critique that each series voices in favour of closure through recourse to recuperative architecture. The attacks on September 11 continue to be felt in US culture. Comics are no exception. Comics publishers, large and small, responded immediately and comics about the attacks or the War on Terror have been coming out ever since. Largely missing from these comics, however, is an engagement with Ground Zero; after depicting the Twin Towers struck or falling, artists and writers rarely give the area a second thought.

  • 2020 Buffalo Fanatics Draft Prospectus
    2020 Buffalo Fanatics Draft Prospectus Director of College Scouting Steve Mathes _ @JudgeMathes Positional Outlook Quarterback Buffalo is not going to look to rock the boat by bringing in a legitimate threat to Josh Allen’s job, they believe in him as the franchise QB. Players Met With or “Linked-To” Likewise, they don’t appear to be looking to challenge Matt Barkley as a James Morgan - Florida International back-up either. He has a great relationship with Allen, isn’t threatening his job, and brings traits Allen doesn’t have like anticipatory throwing they hope will rub off on him. That leaves Davis Webb, the practice squad QB, as the only one at real risk of competition. The Bills met with Morgan, but this was before his stock significantly heated up. If the Bills decide to challenge Webb look for a UDFA QB to be the guy to do it. Running Back The Buffalo Bills have only two viable runners on their roster currently in Devin Singletary and TJ Yeldon. They will look to add a third to this tandem to replace Players Met With or “Linked-To” the departed Frank Gore. Cam Akers - Florida St. Gore was known as the “bruiser”. When he was on the field defenses tended to JK Dobbins - Ohio St. know what was coming. It appears from their list of potential targets the Bills Clyde Edwards-Hellaire - LSU are looking to buck that trend. Darrynton Evans - Appalachian St. Zack Moss - Utah On their list are mostly “All-Purpose Backs” and one guy who is all traits (SPEED) D’Andre Swift - Georgia in Darrynton Evans.
