Woman wants 'too much sex' - man calls cops
Published: 12 Apr 12 17:25 CET
A desperate man in Munich fled onto a balcony and called police for protection after his insatiable companion on a one-night stand refused to let him leave her flat, police said on Thursday.
The 43-year-old man had met a woman four years his senior in a bar in the southern German city on Monday and she took him back to her apartment for sex, a police spokesman said in a statement.
"There they had sexual intercourse several times," the spokesman said.
"When the 47-year-old wanted even more, her partner said no."
The man then tried to leave the apartment but the woman prevented him from escaping and demanded he have sex with her again.
"Because the 43-year-old saw no other alternative, he complied with the woman's wishes another few times so he could finally leave the apartment," the spokesman said.
"But when she continued to refuse and demanded even more sex from him, he fled to the balcony and alerted the police."
The woman "then tried to talk the dispatched officers into similar activity but was unsuccessful".
She is now facing possible charges of sexual assault and illegal restraint.
it has what it takes to~
Chicago Tribuneが2012New York Auto Showでの「勝ち組・負け組」番付を発表しました。自動車評論家 Mike Hanley氏のイチオシは、NissanのAltima（日本未発売、旧ブルーバードから進化した北米限定車）でした。ファミリーカー部門での激しい販売競争を勝ち抜くける「何かを持っている」とのことです。
it has what it takes to~は「素質や才能がある」を意味するおなじみのフレーズですが（例：Mr. Sugiuchi's got what it takes to be a good teacher. （？））、ひと頃流行になった「持っている」にも通じるところがあるようです。（UG）
NY auto show winners & losers
This month's 2012 New York International Auto Show is packed with model debuts to make a splash before summer. Cars.com's editors Mike Hanley, Kelsey Mays, Joe Wiesenfelder and Joe Bruzek walked the show floor.
2013 Nissan Altima
Mike Hanley: Winner The redesigned Altima's all-new sheet metal keeps the sedan's appearance current in the quickly evolving family-car segment, but its efficient four-cylinder engine — with a projected gas mileage of 38 mpg on the highway — will strongly resonate with buyers focused on gas prices. The competition isn't letting up, but the new Altima looks like it has what it takes to maintain its impressive sales momentum.
great reset
橋下市長が記者会見するとき、背景にあるボードには「市政 グレートリセット」とあります。これを見て、ある本を思い出しました。それが、不況を次なるチャンスへのリセット期間ととらえる考え方を打ち出したRichard Florida

We tend to view prolonged economic downturns, such as the Great Depression of the 1930s and the Long Depression of the late nineteenth century, in terms of the crisis and pain they cause. But history teaches us that these great crises also represent opportunities to remake our economy and society and to generate whole new eras of economic growth and prosperity. In terms of innovation, invention, and energetic risk taking, these periods of "creative destruction" have been some of the most fertile in history, and the changes they put into motion can set the stage for full-scale recovery.

元ブラジル代表のロナウドがFIFA.comのインタビューに応じました。
Coming back to the present day, which team do you like most at the moment?
I’m Merengue and I really like the way Madrid are playing, but you can’t ignore Barcelona, who have a fantastic team. They may not be the most spectacular, but they make everything look so simple. Every single player in every area of the side knows what they have to do at any given time, then you’ve got their ability to keep hold of the ball and the way they patiently work their way towards the opposition goal. The great job that [Pep] Guardiola’s done shines through: it’s one of the best teams I’ve seen in my 35 years on the planet. It hurts to say that, since I’m Madridista, but I still think we can pip them to some titles this year.
When you see them play, does it make you want to slip your boots on once more?
No, no! (laughs) I enjoyed my time as a player and now I’m enjoying myself as a fan.
Finally, which players would be included in your all-time Brazil XI?
That’s a tough one, but I’d go with Taffarel; Cafu, Aldair, Lucio, Roberto Carlos; Junior, Zico, Rivelino; Pele, Romario and me, of course! It’s a very attacking team! Everyone would be bombing forward!

勉強になったと思う表現を取り上げます。
まずはslip〜on「〜をするりと着る」です。slipと聞くと「滑る，滑り落ちる」という訳語から，「ある場所からスルッとなくなる」イメージがありましたが，ここでは「スルッと着る，はく」という意味です（『ジーニアス英和辞典』第4版，大修館書店）。バルセロナを見て，「いっちょ俺もやってみるか！？」という気持ちになりますか？というニュアンスがこのslip〜onから感じる事ができます。
go with〜は「〜を選ぶ」という意味です。簡単な単語ですが，なかなか思いつかないかなと思い，ここで取り上げてみました。（Sugiuchi）
