    Sorry smith.

    Your statement basically applies to all donations where it funds the projects or assistance covers partially the deficiencies in which the government may or may not be able to accomodate. Furthermore, you have absolutely NO CLUE as to what the people of coastal areas actually want which for many are getting things back to normal including the recovery of the fishing industry that majority of the population dependent on. These people don't intend to live off government assistance for rest of their lives

    If you're so mad at the budget, your anger should be directed at the Sea Shepard for the root of the cause. I'll make it simple for you. No SS. No $30M budget. Ishinomaki and other coastal whaling port workers and industry recovers. As the recovery continues, the tax burden is lessoned to a point where the industry and the workers provide much nessary tax revenue for the community. Problem solved.

    Did they hire jobless people in the region to man the defense ships? Will the whalers take their catches back to the devastated coast for the markets to cut up and sell there (how will they dock the ships?)?

    If you read the entire budget submitted by the Fishery Agency, those are answered. And yes. Majority of the fund allocated goes to the reconstruction of the ports as well as give financial assistance to the various fish processing facility that was destroyed there. As for this particular budget itself, the additional defense because of the violence by SS, will hopefully result in 900 catches for this season as well as the next.

    No products=no facilities=no jobs=no economic recovery in this location. I hope this simple formula helps.

    And you need to look up 'sour grapes'. Someone complaining about the system is not 'sour grapes'

    You need to read more carefully. Complaining a WBC format after your favorite team "Korea" lost is "sour grapes".

    What I'd like to hear accompanying Gemba's 'deep emotion' is his desire for all Japanese young and old to know the true account of what happened that day, if anything else to try and prevent it from happening again.

    Nice. (sarcasm) But if you want to prevent such incidents from happening again, simply "knowing" what happened on December 7, 1941 accomplishes nothing. What needs to be "known" are events and circumstances that lead up to that day which most Americans are clueless to so let it dumbed it down to the masses to "We were attacked for no reason!!". It worked for FDR and is still working today.

    Let's be clear. The parties that are "angered" by this funding is lead by environmental groups like Greenpeace and IFAW who aren't affected by the disaster and furthermore don't give a rats a$$ whether the victims (Ishinomaki and other fishing villages) reconstruct their industry, PERIOD.

    it may not be that donated money has been spent directly on this, but anger must be understood as surely the Japanese government has far more important things to be spending money on...

    Wouldn't that be up to the people of Ishinomaki and not some outsider (for instance, JT posters)?

    In other words, residents of Ishinomaki which whaling is a part of their fishing industry, are not a "disaster" victim??

    About 6 out of 10 can't comprehend the difference between a donation and a budget.

    Typical day at JT.

    The 200Bq/kg is so open to debate. Chiyoda-Ku local govt announced on their website 2 weeks ago they found 11Bq/KG in milk a childcare institution was feeding their kids. They said the safety limit for kids is 10Bq/KG so does this 200Bq/kg only apply to adults?

    Each country has upper limits on the maximum Bq/kg on Cesium based on food categories. For instance, EU has an upper limit of 400Bq/kg for infant food. and Codex has an upplimit as much as 1000 bq/kg.

    You say Australia is disrespecting their agreement by becoming members of the iwc and working against the agreement, you do realize Australia was one of the founding members and joined long before Japan. Infact australia was a whaling nation when it joined. I guess they just managed something Japan hasn't and that's to grow up

    If their position changed that they're no longer interested in the "orderly development of the whaling industry", the mature thing to do is to pull out of the membership. I don't give a FF whether they were original members or not.

    Predictable answer from those childish Aussies. This leaves no option but for JCG to tag along. Made it easier.

    Agree with justanotherperson. Fashion is by in large cyclical.

    Now it's my turn to laugh. Corporate governance means crap when the same crap is repeated over and over while shareholders are losing billions and billions taking it up their rear ends year in and year out. So what if the principal involved gets to spend time in da BiG HOUSE??? It still doesn't change the fact Mr. Johnson, who planned on retiring in Utah now has to rely on welfare payments to make ends meet.

    Governance is An act of governing. It's not a measurement of severity in punishment when the greedy slimeballs are caught. In that aspect, U.S. is a joke.

    Save it Nicky. This is exactly about small scale versus BIG scale and why the author feels or any rational individual for that matter evaluates his or her safety in a certain country he or she resides.

    I agree with herefornow for a change. The man is clearly delusional. There is no way in hell that corporate governance is in par with U.S. Enron???? Worldcom?? And as recently as MF Global which is already in the billions and yet it gets barely a ticker on the headline in U.S.

    I would not "build" a team around Josh Willingham. HIs numbers will go down even more playing at Safeco. Hope the A's re-sign him but doubtful.

    You remind me of an old MLB commercial. "Chicks dig the long ball".

    or add Beltran who can drive in 100 RBI's for the team?

    No. I would not try to build around a 35 year old injury prone outfielder who's best days are over. Your Giants can have him for he did such a FANTASTIC job there. (sarcasm)

    Give it up tmarie. There is absolutely NOTHING comparable in Japan or probably rest of the world for that matter that can compare with the Penn State sex abuse case. This involves a sick man sodomizing dozens of vulnerable children with the cover up that starts from the institution, the coaches, the University, and possibly the local police force simply because Penn State football is bigger and more important than anything else in that city.

    You notice, excluding Oswalt, there is no significant impact pitchers on the list.

    That's who Japan beat in order to get to the finals.

    All that work for nothing....
