well that settles it then... after all the IMF is such a shining example of successful policies...NOT!
I will gladly pay the increase of the sales tax, as soon as the government here in Japan makes cuts all agencies across the board by an equal amount... starting with the salaries of ALL government workers.

10 years in the US... and a student visa!? Sorry but something fishy there. If they were really "committed" why didn't Ueda start her green card process back in 2000, it has nothing to do with relationships... of course that would imply her "visa" was valid in the beginning, if she had one... and she has had to renew a number of times. Of course if she had just entered via Mexico and claimed to be hispanic no questions would be asked.

The Republicans are going through the process. But the really sad truth is that there is no Democrat challenger to Obama... Obama is the best the Democrats have to offer, very sad indeed.

actually this "backtrack" decision makes a lot of sense. Though not mentioned in the article (or on TV news last night,) is the fact that this dam will also provide electricity, a real needed commodity in the Kanto area after 3/11. Electricity is not the original purpose of the dam, but every little bit is going to help in future.

tax(the plebs) and grow(the government)... a solution to nothing.
The real solution is that people really need to to be weaned from "Auntie" Sam's bosom (can you say bosom on JT?). Of course it took fifty years for the "social" approach to blow up in the UK's face... so I guess the US has a few more years to screw up the system some more.

Efficiency of solar is improving... and makes a great supplement to any grid, but it will never be a replacement.

comes down to choices... you don't have to use an Apple product as there are alternatives that function well... however search engines are few and far between now... most having been run out of business or bought out by Google.
But it might be that the government doesn't like companies that successfully do all the things"it" wants to do and said company does't want to "share"... all that info gathering and tracking and stuff...
or could be the government just wants some bucks.

Posted in: I don't know why, it is their choice, but they build reactors in seismically dangerous zones, which are everywhere there.

despite the "disaster" of an earthquake and tsunami they(TEPCO and Japan Gov) are doing a great job... far better than the Japan Red Cross for example...
how many people killed from explosion and radiation ? ... zero ............ how many killed by tsunami and earthquake in Fukushima? ... way more than zero............
how many people had to leave their cities up and down the northeast coast not including Fukushima? tens of thousands...
what's so special about the nuke plants?
ah, the blame game...
and tobacco will kill more people in Japan this year, than all the current disasters combined... as will suicide in Japan...
Posted in: The central government and TEPCO repeatedly told us, 'Nuclear power plants are safe because they've got multiple protection systems.'

Keep It Simple Stupid
market for novices(and females, where "cute" is important) here in Japan... but even this Kiss series is way more capable than most people need... an outstanding camera at a great price.
I love my X4... still way more camera than my current needs. The X5 adds an articulating display... which is nice but no need to upgrade.
people like to complain about the "video" limitations... but it's NOT a video camera, but for cinematic type filming it's fine, how often do you shoot scenes longer that 10 minutes anyway? most scenes I have shot never go more than 4-5 min. and those undoukai races only last a few seconds...

Posted in: Putting people who have addictions into the isolation of prison and just having them do labor there is not going to solve the problem. Treating these people as part of society and helping them toward their recovery is an international trend.
