Tomiyasu Ishikawa(石川富康), 71, of Aichi Prefecture(日本爱知县), reached the summit of Mount Vinson Massif, the tallest mountain in Antarctica, on Jan. 21, his family said Sunday.

By reaching the top of the 4,897-meter peak, Ishikawa is believed to be the oldest person to have conquered the tallest mountains on all seven continents. 
Ishikawa, chairman of a mountaineering association in Aichi Prefecture, left Japan on Jan. 7 and joined a party of non-Japanese climbers at a base camp at the 2,200-meter point before his summit attempt.
Ishikawa climbed Mount Everest in 2002 at the age of 65, setting a new record at that time for the oldest climber to conquer the 8,848-meter mountain. He then set out on his attempt to conquer the tallest peaks on the world's seven continents. He reached the summit of 5,895-meter Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa, the sixth peak, in September 2007.

白领失业人数扩大
     据《华盛顿邮报》星期一报道,截至十一月止,近140万美国人失业至少27周,这一数字占美国失业工人的20%,也是2001年经济大衰退前劳务市场上长期失业人数的2倍。
     以前,长期失业的人群主要在手工工人,以及那些缺少工作经验、教育程度或劳动技能的人员;而现在,具有长期工作经验的白领和受过大学教育的工作者的失业人数增长最快。
    “这个延展恢复了原来跟着2001年的下降趋势,尤其是强大的集体利益,低通货膨胀,生产产量的记录。”报道如此评论。不过一些经济学家称这段时期为“CEO的恢复期”:实际工资并未增长,贫困现象实际在增长了,大量的失业人员为寻找工作疲于奔波。何长宏/译
