Why do Japanese government workers keep losing sensitive data while drunk?
Nights out drinking can often end badly. But in Japan, they have a habit of going spectacularly wrong for government employees – who on at least two occasions in recent years have lost sensitive personal data after a few too many beers. An employee of the Finance Ministry’s customs and tariff bureau went drinking with a colleague after work last Thursday, in the city of Yokohama south of Tokyo, the ministry told CNN.

I thought I was dead': Kayaker gets swallowed by humpback whale in dramatic moment
A humpback whale swallowed a man on a kayak off the coast of Chile last week, before he was quickly able to get out of the leviathan’s mouth unharmed. Video shows the death-defying and terrifying moment from last Saturday, when Adrián Simancas was kayaking with his father, Dell, in Bahía El Águila near the San Isidro Lighthouse in the Strait of Magellan, off Chilean Patagonia. As Simancas was paddling in what appeared to be an inflatable kayak, a humpback whale rolled on the surface with its mouth open, swallowing the kayaker. Moments later, the tail broke the surface and the whale dove to deeper depth. Simancas and his yellow kayak then resurfaced after being freed from the clutches of the whale’s jaws.
'Redwood' review: Idina Menzel goes out on a limb in hollow new Broadway musical
NEW YORK – There's a beautiful show somewhere in "Redwood," a sort of "Eat, Belay, Love" about a grief-stricken mother (Idina Menzel) who finds solace in climbing trees. But despite Menzel's very best efforts, the musical's lofty ambitions never quite take root. "Redwood," which opened Feb. 13 at the Nederlander Theatre, is a long-gestating passion project for Menzel, who last graced Broadway a decade ago in another original work, "If/Then." The show is loosely inspired by a woman named Julia Butterfly Hill, who in the 1990s, spent more than two years living in a 1,000-year-old tree to save it from being chopped down.
