Studio 360 in Japan: Lisa Katayama and Roland Kelts help the Studio 360 crew make sense of Japan. The website has videos and photos and the podcast is here. I especially like Yoshioka Tokujin's explanation of Japanese design using tofu. They also interviewed Yoshiharu Tsukamoto as well as Shigeru Ban.

I thought that Katayama and Kelts did a great job of sharing the current Japan, and parts of Japan that mainstream America does not normally see in the media, with the NPR audience.

Josh Marshall from TalkingPointsMemo:

TPM Reader JC sent me to this interview with Nouriel Roubini and Nassim Taleb on CNBC. Here's what JC wrote:

In this clip, Nouriel Roubini and Nassim Taleb are still being treated as a circus sideshow by CNBC... They're predicting the end of finance, and offering the only clear path out of this mess that I've seen offered (with the knowledge to back it up), and CNBC keeps asking them for stock tips. It's ludicrous. Wall Street media -- CNBC at least -- doesn't realize how bad this is yet. They're stuck in a bubble where they think everything will go back to normal in a few months....

He hits it spot on. These two guys are talking about a deep structural crisis in the world economy. And these CNBC yahoos can't stop asking for stock tips. Really surreal.

I'm watching it again now. This is a seminal piece of video. You have to see it. I'm not sure I've seen anything that captures -- albeit unintentionally -- the vast disconnect over what is happening today in the US economy.

If you ever watched CNBC for any kind of financial information, you now know that the financial information provided at Nickelodeon or Sesame Street is as good as the information they have at CNBC. God help you if you used CNBC to make any investment decisions.

As reported by TechDirt, Wikileaks has over 2GB of public domain US Congressional Research Service reports that were heretofore only available to congress, although they are public domain. The list of topics covered is staggering, and there's no telling of the quality of the information until they are examined, but one would hope that if these are for Congress' edification that they would be of good quality.

There is over 20 years of reports here, but just picking a few Japan-related recent reports out from the crowd, there are:

The Changing U.S.-Japan Alliance: Implications for U.S. Interests, January 10, 2008

U.S.-Japan Economic Relations: Significance, Prospects, and Policy Options, April 9, 2008

Potential F-22 Raptor Export to Japan, July 2, 2007

Japan-U.S. Relations: Issues for Congress, December 30, 2008

There is a metric ton of other reports on many, many other topics. If you want to see what US taxpayers are paying for in research, or what Congressional staffers may be reading, check this list.
