Moderates and passionate free- traders are fighting these efforts, claiming that such ground-breaking US legislation will ignite a global 'managed trade' movement. Nations will bombard each other with bilateral quotas, import and export restraints and restrictive tariffs, all in the name of market opening. What began in the US-Japan context could quickly spread to Europe, other nations in Asia and the Third World.
President Clinton made it quite clear during the recent tense negotiations in Tokyo that he is impatient for market-opening results. In going over the heads of officials to speak directly to the Japanese people he also signalled that such results would be expected from whoever is elected, the business-as-usual Liberal Democratic Party or a new generation of reformers.
The deal he negotiated with the Japanese Prime Minister, Kiichi Miyazawa, which has since been recast and repudiated by bureaucrats in both governments, gives US negotiators wide latitude to achieve these aims. European officials also have targeted reduction of Japan's surplus as a policy priority. The trick will be in the doing.
That Japan's global current account surplus, projected at dollars 150bn ( pounds 100bn) for 1993, is a growing problem is not in question. The grim prospect of other nations being denied economic prosperity because of Japan's strength will not long be tolerated.
Such a surplus in a world of slow economic growth in effect exports unemployment to other countries, particularly when it results in large part, as is now the case, from the stagnation of domestic demand in Japan. In short, Japan's export juggernaut continues while imports have plummeted in response to weak consumer and business purchases.
It is easy to understand why other nations are losing patience in their trade negotiations with Japan. Each year the contrast grows sharper between Japan's extraordinary success in other markets and the inability of foreign producers to penetrate its markets. There is a very good case to be made that Japan is indeed 'different' - an exclusionary, highly interventionist economy that does not welcome outsiders.
However, this image obscures the fact that Japan has been changing rapidly and is likely to continue to move in the direction of the more traditional, market-based economies. It could be counterproductive now to target bilateral trade imbalances with Japan, or for governments to gang up against specific Japanese sectors by imposing restrictive quotas and other trade restraints, a model for which are the restraints on Japanese car imports in the US and Europe.
It would be far better to work at the macro-economic level to reduce the huge imbalances and to continue the current multilateral efforts to persuade Japan itself to do the right things. There should be continued international pressure on Japan to open its markets and to adopt expansionary fiscal measures at home that will reduce the surplus. Results are coming through, albeit slowly.
However, the US and other governments are moving in another philosophical direction. By stepping up what is in effect the management of trade, through demanding extra market share for their exports, they are claiming to avoid the more restrictive and traditional protectionist policies. Thus the pursuit of voluntary import expansion targets (VIEs), or outright quotas for foreign penetration, is on the rise. The semiconductor agreement between the US and Japan, which negotiated a 20 per cent market share for US firms, is a case in point. Many cite it as a successful blueprint that should be followed in other agreements.
But last week, one of its chief architects disagreed. Carla Hills, the US trade representative under George Bush, said in testimony to Congress that the numerical target actually tied her hands in seeking even greater market penetration. Why only 20 per cent when US producers might have been able to garner 30 per cent or more?
The point that Ms Hills was making is that market-opening measures are fine but that numerical targets are not, as they have the effect of actually restricting potential market share. She thus argued firmly against more semiconductor-like agreements.
History tells us that governments have a poor record of managing and targeting industries and market share. The practical problems are immense; bureaucrats tend to shoot either too high or too low in their targeting, with little ability to control either success or failure.
Political capture of such measures by powerful special interests is another big problem. For Congress to legislate such quantifiable measures is to step out on new and dangerous terrain. The administration has enough authority to achieve its goals. A strengthened yen has reduced and will reduce trade surpluses, suggesting that Plaza-like exchange rate accords are among the very best ways of tackling the Japanese problem.

This Lent, take a 40-day devotional journey with Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Click here to sign up.
13:1–21:45 The third major section of the book details the division of the land among the tribes. The significance of these chapters is made explicit in 21:43–45. The lists of boundaries and towns represent the objective content of the promises of God. Although many of the places are no longer known, and although their allotment here did not in all cases mean that the designated tribe actually occupied them (23:13), they nevertheless are an elaborate testimony to the faithfulness of the Lord.

Christina Kauffman Explains The Sunny Side of the Sunless Experience
While selecting an organic sunless studio that places health at front of mind – you may find the advantages go beyond a "golden" glow.
Quality in Service
Rather than standing in front of an automated machine - get results that fit your specific needs by choosing to have your tan applied by an industry professional. Also, seek a salon or studio that values customer service. While sunless consultants are thoroughly trained on the latest techniques and procedures - it helps fight the fear knowing that someone is there to guide you from start to finish. To ensure a more relaxed experience, make sure to take full advantage of your initial consultation, don't be afraid to ask questions and most importantly, be specific about the results you are looking to achieve. For example, the tan you desire for your Hawaiian getaway may be very different from the subtle glow you need for a New England New Year's Eve party!
As you undress to your comfort level, whether that be your birthday suit, a bikini or yoga pants and a tank top – a qualified professional will delicately airbrush each part of your body accompanied by detailed instructions to ensure a natural looking, even application.
More Than a Tan
Some people who undergo an airbrush tan have one goal in mind- a bronzed glow without putting in hours baking in the sun, but others know the secret. Contouring, which is the act of darkening areas that want to be hidden, is a technique that only comes with a custom tan. What can be considered as an art form- shading the right areas can help clients appear thinner in minutes! For example, if you'd like to see your stomach appear thinner – airbrush professionals can shade the sides of your waist to make it physically appear smaller.
If you are looking to minimize the appearance of imperfections on your skin– sunless tanning can help! Clients frequently come in to eliminate the sight of sunspots, tan lines, stretch marks, varicose veins and even cellulite. Some sunless solutions include actual anti-aging ingredients that will help to permanently reduce the appearance of wrinkles and cellulite and leave your skin looking more youthful even after the tan fades!
Although sunless tanning has gained the majority of its popularity due to its important health benefits, the beauty benefits are amazing too! Look slimmer and younger, and give your confidence a big boost in a matter of minutes- When you are happier with the way you look, you are happier overall!

Linus Torvalds has just released Linux Kernel 3.8 today and i have successfully compiled and upgrade to this shinny Linux Kernel. Head to KernelNewbies if you are curious about what's interesting on this release.
Soon after compiling Linux Kernel 3.8, i made a symlink to the correct version.h used by many third-party application that will link to kernel modules by running this command
ln -s /usr/src/linux-3.8/include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h /usr/src/linux-3.8/include/linux/version.h
Next... Reboot
After i logged in, i ran my NVidia 304.64-custom driver (i posted this before) and it worked out of the box, so no more patching is needed for this version of NVidia driver. If you are using newer NVidia driver or this is your first time upgrading to a newer Linux Kernel, you can head to this directory where you can find patches for other version of NVidia drivers along with instructions how to patch the original NVIdia driver.
Next is VMWare Workstation. As stated on this blog post that VMWare Workstation 9.0.1 by default is not compatible with Linux Kernel 3.8 without any patches. One of the visitor wrote a comment and tell us about a simple patch to fix this problem. His patch is kinda messy because the HTML form parser makes it broken.
So, i take the manual steps of reviewing the changed files and codes and then make a simple diff based on the difference of those two files and then adding an automated bash script based on previous patch for Linux Kernel 3.5 and modify it to include this patch and the result is an automatic process. You only need to download the patch from my SlackHacks repository, unzip, and run it (using root user).
The zip file contains 2 files. First file called patch-modules_3.8.0.sh is the automated script which later calls vmware-3.8.patch file which is the real patch that does the magic. All you need is give execute permission to patch-modules_3.8.0.sh by executing chmod +x patch-modules_3.8.0.sh and then execute it ./patch-modules_3.8.0.sh. At the end of the process, it will rebuilt VMWare Workstation and there should be no problem. I have tested them on my machine and it worked perfectly. Let me know if it's broken on your machines.
Credit should go to Tim who gave us those patch. I only provide some automated script to make it easier for end users without having to untar the source, applying the patch manually and creating a tar archive again.
Here's the result of uname -a on my desktop at home
Linux desktop 3.8.0-smp #1 SMP Tue Feb 19 17:00:33 WIT 2013 i686 Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU E5300 @ 2.60GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

Skip to comments.Egypts PM says economy worse than anyone can imagine
Posted on 12/13/2011 2:00:27 PM PST by bayouranger
Egypts new interim prime minister broke into tears in front of journalists on Sunday as he spoke about the state of the countrys economy, saying it was worse than anyone imagines.
Egypts transition in the months since Hosni Mubaraks ouster has been rocky, with protests against the military council leading the process, an increase in crime and the battering of the tourism industry that was once a pillar of the economy.
Kamal el-Ganzouri, the third temporary prime minister since Mubaraks ouster in February, said his priorities were the restoration of security and economic progress.
At one point in his news conference, el-Ganzouri became teary eyed as he recalled seeing an Egyptian man on TV saying I want security, not bread.
He said austerity measures were needed to start reducing the deficit but that no new taxes will be imposed. He did not elaborate on exact steps.
El-Ganzouri said his government will not consider loans from the International Monetary Fund until the outlook of the Egyptian budget becomes clear. In the summer, the IMF offered a $3 billion loan, but Egyptian officials turned it down.
The IMF is projecting Egypts economic growth to be just 1.2 per cent this year, compared with about 5 per cent in 2010.
Solidarity is needed to face the economic crisis and security problem for citizens to be pleased with the revolution, he said.
Urban consumer inflation in Egypt rose to an annual 9.1 per cent in November from 7.1 per cent in October. The unemployment rate in the third quarter climbed to 12 per cent from just under 9 per cent a year earlier. Net international reserves dropped by roughly 40 per cent by the end of October, compared with the end of 2010.
The military council, which stepped in to rule when Mubarak was pushed out, appointed el-Ganzouri and his government at the end of November after a violent crackdown on protesters demanding an end to military rule.
In response to the protests, the previous prime minister, Essam Sharaf, resigned and the head of the military council pledged to transfer power to a civilian administration by July 2012. The council also transferred wide powers to el-Ganzouris government in an attempt to show it had independence and that the military council would leave power though gradually.
El-Ganzouri blamed the last decade of Mubaraks 30-year rule and the corruption that took place then for the ballooning deficit.
El-Ganzouri is himself a Mubarak-era prime minister who served from 1996 to 1999 but he has not been tainted by corruption.
Still, protesters who dislike him for his part in the old regime have been camped in front of el-Ganzouris office in downtown Cairo, forcing him to hold meetings at the Ministry of Planning in a Cairo suburb.
Tourism has to be down close to zero. If the Muslim Brotherhood gains control I would expect tourism to remain close to zero.
hummmm... maybe kill more Christians?
No kidding who would want to go be in the middle of that mess? It probably won't help when the Muzzies start blowing up the Sphinx and the pyrimids.....
They should ask NASA for a one way ticket to the Moon (god).
What did these idiots expect?
And it's about to get even worse...
Nice. Nearly carbon-neutral.
What about Egypt's birth rate?
Egypt has a very large population and is unable to grow enough food to feed them. It relies on its multi-billion dollar tourist industry to get enough money to buy food from other countries.
After the stories that have been coming out of Egypt, you'd have to be insane to go there as a tourist. So, unless the Saudis or somebody comes up with the money, they are going to have starvation, theft, murder, and riots.
And I fail to see why we should keep giving them a billion a year, since they are no longer our allies. Maybe Obama and Hildabeast will see things differently, but I'm not sure they'll be able to persuade even the dolts in congress to come up with that kind of money. Especially since he's going to want billions for Libya and the rest, too.
--Johnny Caspar
Ummm, maybe Lara Logan?
I literally 'lol'ed at work at Hildabeast haha oops and thank you.
Right. They need heap big bailout from U S of A
How long till the Eqyptian taliban start bulldozing and/or blowing up the pagan pyrimids?
No problem...I'm sure that Uncle BHO will come to the rescue.
How many trillions do they need?
He can even help the tourist trade by issuing an Executive Order (he's good at that) requiring the Armed Forces to start taking R&R there!!
Don't cry for me, Kamal teeeny
The truth is I never liked you
All through your wild days
Your mad existence
I kept my promise
Now keep your distance
And as for fortune, and as for fame
You invited them in and didn't get them
Though it seemed to the world they were all You desired
I guess that Obama got tired of wrecking the United States economy and wanted to branch out. Nice job Barky!!!
What did they expect?
Puppies and Rainbows???
Did they think Obama money would come falling from the sky?
Or strapped to Unicorns flying in with Obama2012 stickers on their arse?
Not good to have the largest Arab country in turmoil.
Egypt's birthrate is 25/1000. The US is 13/1000.
Go to the link and look at various countries. The Palestinian replacement rate is 6 per couple vs # per couple in Israel. (2.1 in the US.)
Isaiah 19:4
And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts.
I know exactly how you feel Kamal!
Not as bad as I imagined back when these guys took over. Who would visit their country? Surely no Christians. Don't worry the HMIC (Head Muslim in Charge) will take care of them.
It's going to get a lot worse, and it probably won't get better.
Welcome to islam, schmuck.
A few facts:
- Egypt's wheat imports were 10.5 million tons in 2010
- Wheat is presently priced circa 300 $ / ton
Egypt imports circa 3 billion $ of wheat every year
- Egypt exports 155,000 barrels of oil per day, out of a production of 630,000
- Oil is presently priced circa 100 $ / barrel
Egypt exports circa 5.5 billion $ of oil every year, which could be increased markedly at the price of more limited use of oil in-country
The above doesn't guarantee that no mass hunger will take place. Only that if it does, it will be because of kleptocrats, profiteers and other irresponsible politicians.
Are the generals stealing Egypt?

How's that Arab Spring working for ya Obama. The man is a dangerous fool!
I sure hope somebody has a plan to extract the contents of the Egyptian Museum to safety before much longer.

Did Dave Do That Right?
Time for a fun game of... "LET'S BOSS DAVE AROUND!" If you were the boss of Dave, how would you have told him to handle his Sadie/Allie conundrum?
Dave and Alli, thinkin' 'bout it.
Obviously it's easy for us to play Armchair Love Quarterback now that we know how things turned out, but let's put ourselves at the crucial decision moment and take it from there:
- Dave had been harshly rejected by Alli more than once, but thought this time... maybe there was a vibe. Was it possible he was crazy and wishfully misinterpreting "signals"? Yes.
- Dave liked Sadie a lot. Sadie's a great girl and a great girlfriend. But he had a bigger heart-spark for Alli.
So: dump a good, solid thing for an enticing question mark?
One way to look at it is: if he doesn't feel 100% about Sadie, maybe he shouldn't be with her anyway.
Another way to look at it is: being single when you had a decent thing and blew it... not as fun as the other kinds of being single.
What would you have bossed Dave into doing?
And on the Cake front: Well, well! Looks like Clare's not actually getting taken for a ride by Jake! I think he really likes her... I think he finds her refreshing. Plus, let's not discount the fact that they knew each other when they were little. The whole "throwing frogs" at her thing -- is there any surer sign of a youngster crush? What do you guys think of their long-term potential?
And: I'm really glad Adam and Drew aren't leaving Degrassi. That would have been the biggest bum out ever.
New Interview: Aislinn Paul (Clare)!
So. Clare this season.
Clare has gone boy crazy, I would say. Back in season 8 when she said to Darcy "I'm going to school for education, not boys..." Nope! Not really, anymore. It's good though, because she's definitely growing up and going through quintessential teenage experiences.
Were you surprised at people's anger at Clare for breaking up with Eli?
I don't want to label any audience members who were upset, but I think some of them were maybe... distracted? By Munro, and the "damaged character" -- that's always been a magnet for young girls. So I understand how that may have skewed their opinion, but I think Clare made the right choice, personally. And I don't know if I would have been strong enough to make that choice if I were in her place, so I'm really proud of her.
Even though Clare's the type of person that wants to help, she had given so much already that it was taking a huge toll on her, and it was important to take a new direction.
With the casual relationship that Clare and Jake are trying to have, I think no one's sure if Clare is really built for casual. But do you think it's good for her to try?
Clare tries to do that because she doesn't want to get hurt, and I think the experience overall is good for her. She's trying a lot of new things this season, and I think it's all good for her. As teenagers, even the bad choice is a good choice because you get the experience. And Clare's losing her naivete, I suppose.
What does the world need to know about Justin Kelly?
There's too much to say! He's awesomeness in a really tall package! He's a really good artist, he draws the greatest cartoons. And real sketches, too. He's hilarious. And he's really tall.
So, with Ray and Charlotte and everybody graduating, you're kind of one of the seniors now, in terms of being a show veteran. How does that feel?
In all honesty, I'm petrified. I'm so, so scared. I was talking about this with my friend Krista; how once Jajube leaves, I will be the longest-running cast member still on the show. And it makes me... not a leader, because we don't have that around here. But it feels almost like a burden, a responsibility. Like -- I love all the people who are leaving, but Charlotte was an idol. And a friend. And every great thing someone can be to you. I was always looking up to her and trying to emulate her, and I'm not ready for her to leave! She's always that awesome, put-together person. She did great on the show, she did great in interviews, she had great style, she listened to great music, and we just got along so well. And with her leaving... she's impossible to replace, but I do want to give that kind of attitude to the new young'uns coming in.
New Interview: Justin Kelly (Jake)!
So! Your first season of Degrassi! What do you think so far?
I love it! I think it's great. I've always been a fan of the show and I've always loved the work that everyone put into it, and it's great to be a part of it -- especially this season. It's like I'm watching it from a different angle.
What did Munro tell you before you got here; did he give you any pointers or warnings?
No... I mean, I was really fortunate to meet most of the cast when Munro signed on last year. We'd hang out and by the time I came along, it was kind of an automatic welcome. I felt welcome right away.
What do you like about Jake? What do you have in common with him, and not?
There's definitely an element of myself in him. I think he's very easygoing; I'm an easygoing person as well. And he doesn't like to deal with confrontation -- we kind of share that.
He's such a breath of drama-less-ness...
That's one thing I loved about him when I read him, 'cause we all know that Degrassi does have a little bit of drama attached to it. But he was one guy that was just like "I don't want to be a part of this drama."
But obviously... it happens. The more he fits into the story lines, the more he gets his feet wet with that Degrassi drama.
OK, time for "Get to know Justin Kelly." Favorite music?
Mostly rock, '90s rock. But I do listen to everything.
What do you do for fun?
I play music. Guitar and bass, that's a big hobby of mine. I like to watch a lot of movies, and just hang out with friends and be social.
Are you outdoorsy at all like Jake?
I want to be? When I get outdoors, if I'm at a cottage or something, then I love it. But it depends on the atmosphere -- in the summer I love to be outdoors, in the winter not so much. And in the middle, we'll see.
What's your family like?
I have one brother, and then mom, dad, and stepfather. And my brother is actually who I got the music gene from... even though he's a sibling. But yeah, we jam together and he's very talented, so I get a lot from him.
Do you mind me asking how old you were when your parents got divorced?
I was 6 years old. It was a while ago. And for sure, that's another thing that Jake and I have in common. It's different because I live with my mom, and he lives with his dad so there's that father-son element. But that's one thing I had to relate to him with at first, getting to know how he felt about it.
What about the casual relationship thing that Clare and Jake try to have. Do you think those work in real life?
Mmm... yeah, I think it can work. Of course it depends on the person, and I think it's hard to have just a casual thing without there being almost a paranoia going on. Like, 'What if we decided today? What would happen next?' It's very hard to just have a casual relationship.
Can Clare Keep It Casual? Can Anyone?Posted on 08/03/2011 by Mary
Clare has a totes casual sexy kissing dream about Jake. Easy breezy!
You know... Clare is many things, but "casual in the romance department" does not strike me as one of them.
Although... maybe I shouldn't jump to conclusions. I mean I also never would've thought she'd date a guy who wears guyliner. Hell, a few years ago, I never even thought she'd wear actual non-uniform clothes. Clare's growing up, and maybe this is one symptom.
And maybe it'll even be good for her. She could definitely use some fun. And what's more fun than making out with a Lumberjake?
I don't know though. There are some who would argue that casual relationships (...or dating more than one person at once ...or friends with benefits) ever really work in the long run.
What do you think? Can casual relationships work, and under what circumstances?
Anya, listen up.Posted on 08/02/2011 by Lisa
SPOILERS BELOW. Don't read this post until AFTER watching "Paper Planes, Pt. 2."
Be nice to that girl in the mirror, Anya.
Yesterday I asked the wise, Degrassi-loving readers of this blog to give Anya some advice. Here's some of what came in:
"I'd ask her what she wants. If Anya wants to do coke um... I can't help that. If she wants freedom and happiness and stuff, I'm pretty sure we can find some other options. Especially since addiction and crashes are kind of the opposite of freedom and happiness." - Dulcinea
"I'd tell Anya to just stop for a minute and breathe. She's had so much stress in her life and she needs to just chill for a minute. Drugs really aren't the answer." - Krystal Marie♥
"I think that the best thing for Anya would be to just slowly get into a conversation about what happened, but not rush it and make her upset. Then when she's done telling you what happened just tell her that it's her decision to do what ever she wants but some things can really hurt her and mess her life up in the long run, and she has a lot of family and friends that want her around... they may seem like their telling her what to do but they just don't want to lose her." - I_<3_23
"I would sit her down and talk to her and let her cry on my shoulder and be the friend she really needs." - EastCoastSwag13
"I would just be there for her, I think she really needs a friend. Someone who doesn't tell her what to do. I don't think she would stop doing coke by being lectured or walked out on, she just needs a good influence, someone on her side." - Charlotte_sometimes311
I wish I could zap all of you lovely advice-givers into the Degrassi world. Your real-world friends are lucky to have you.
Meanwhile, as Anya said "Now!" to more coke, Fiona struggled with saying "Never" to champagne. Fiona seems determined to do what's best for herself (even if it means no more hooking up with Charlie), but that didn't look like an easy choice.
p.s. I miss Mr. Tuxedopants already.
Things can't get worse? Think again, Anya.Posted on 08/01/2011 by Lisa
SPOILERS BELOW. Don't read this post until you've seen "Paper Planes, Pt. 1."
Anya thinks she's hit rock bottom, but has she?
At the very beginning of tonight's Degrassi, Anya's worried about her future and stressed about the talk she has to have with her parents. She says, "Well, things can't possibly get any worse," and uses that as an excuse to try cocaine for the first time.
... and then her life gets worse.
I get that Anya doesn't want everyone telling her what to do, but when you see someone messing up in a big way, it's hard to resist. If you were friends with Anya, what advice would you give her at this point in her life? Aside from, "Stop doing coke!"
Keep in mind that if you try to tell her what to do, she'll be just as mad at you as she is at Owen. Can you give someone advice without telling them what to do? I was mad at Owen for walking away, but like he says at the beginning of the ep, "I'm not your mom." Ultimately, it was Anya's bad decision, right?
Also: Tonight's episode may have skeeved me out more than any other Degrassi episode ever. A few years ago, when I lived in Brooklyn, my whole apartment building got bedbugs. For several months, I lived a nightmare of itchiness, insomnia, and paranoid over-cleaning. Bedbugs are reeeeaaally hard to get rid of, so I understand why Fiona freaked out. I seriously wish I could hug her right now, but then again... I'd rather run away from her at about a million miles per hour, because bedbugs are really easy to spread, and one might get on me during the hug.
Sorry, Fiona. My only advice is: "You'll get through this, with the help of lots of toxic chemicals."
But back to Anya. What would you tell her if you ran into her tomorrow morning?
A Tribute to ZileyPosted on 07/28/2011 by Lisa
Don't read any further unless you've already seen "Dirt Off Your Shoulder, Pt. 2."
I sometimes take notes as I watch Degrassi to keep track of the things I want to write about, and the main note from tonight's ep (aside from a few things about Eli and Imogen) was the word ZILEY written in giant letters. Giant sad letters.
I can't bring myself to rewatch that scene at the Dot. I'm tearing up just thinking about it. Ziley (or Rane, whatever you want to call them) are one of my all-time favorite Degrassi couples. I'm still using the present tense, because I'm not ready to accept that they're over. ...and now I'm tearing up as I type. Seriously. I'm a sad little blogger tonight, so instead of writing a thoughtful post about the whole episode, I'm going to post a bunch of pictures of Ziley in happier times.
Zane (aww, look at his messy hair) and Riley.
Panthers. :)
Ziley kiss!
Ziley makes me sigh-ly.
Zane and Riley in suits... because they *suit* each other.
Think they'll ever reunite? (Just tell me yes. I'm crying here.)
What do you think of Imogen?Posted on 07/27/2011 by Lisa
Hello, people who've seen Dirt Off Your Shoulder, Pt. 1!
Do you think Adam's right about Imogen? I mean... "psycho" is a strong word, but what kind of person injures herself just to keep someone she's never spoken to before out of trouble? Imogen seems to have made a real impression on Eli (putting tampons in your nose is a pretty memorable action), but I'm a little worried about the effect she could have on him.
Eli's going through a rough time, and I feel like he needs to spend time with calm, sane people (like, say... Adam). At the same time, I'm also kind of worried about Imogen. From what we've seen so far, Eli might not be the best influence on her either.
Meanwhile... Do you think Ziley are headed in a bad direction? What about Kenna? (I can't add anyone else to my worry list tonight -- it's full.)
And one final Degrassi thought of the night: I've never worked at a restaurant, so I'm not an expert on this, but there didn't appear to be much cleaning going on at that clean up party. If you've ever worked at a place like Little Miss Steaks, do things really get that wild after it closes up for the night? Enlighten me.
What do you think of Imogen?
One Way to Change a MindPosted on 07/26/2011 by Mary
So, here's what put these two shows on my list of Favorite Degrassi Eps Ever.
I love when Degrassi shows us not just a candy-coated version of high school foibles, but the ugliness that happens when people make mistakes because they just don't know any better yet.
"if there's one thing we can't count on Degrassi for it's showing us the good AND the bad." - GOODOLDDAYS
Totally, GoodOldDays.
So, the backlash against Dave -- the LGBT club petition, the disciplinary actions, Zane's lecture, the discomfort of his closest friends, and the angry glares he got from a trans-tolerant student body at Degrassi -- it's all understandable. When people say cruel, insensitive, harmful, and intolerant things, it pisses us off. And we say things like "I wanted to punch him" and "I hope Sadie and his friends completely dump him."
Adam gets through to Dave in Degrassi detention.
But did anyone else think it was interesting that the thing that actually made Dave think was a frank explanation from Adam of what was at stake (civil rights) and what it's like to be him (frickin' not easy). In that conversation, Adam took Dave seriously, and tried his best to connect with him on a human level -- he didn't just write him off. And that's what made Dave step out of his defensiveness for a minute so he could really consider his actions... the scorn of his community didn't have quite the same effect -- it made him feel cornered and persecuted. Is it fair that Adam had to be preternaturally mature and able to handle this so calmly in order to get through to Dave? No. But it was so much better for the outcome that he was. And would all of the Daves of this world sit there and listen to Adam's sensitivity training? No. But that's why I give Dave credit for being a decent and open-minded human being (if slow on the open-mindedness uptake).
Remember: Dave doesn't watch Degrassi like the rest of us. He didn't know anything about what being transgender means (just like a lot of us didn't before we met Adam.) And if Sadie and his friends completely dumped him... there's a good chance some other students at Degrassi would have been more than happy to give Dave the pats on the back he wanted, and they would have formed an insular and potentially dangerous little crew of haters. (I don't know where Owen's at with his various phobias these days but... he's certainly a candidate.) And since the basis of their friendship would have been hate, it would have festered and festered... this is how you end up with, say, white power crews. You know?
Anyway. Big fat kudos to Adam for being the bigger man, and to Dave for catching up eventually. Big fat kudos to anyone out there who tries to educate those around them. And major sympathy to Adam for having to figure this stuff out on his own:
"Honestly...adam has NO help in all this as to how he should approach anything. he's lost. ... i think adam needs to hear some advice from someone who knows about transgender difficulties...and dave needs to grow up!" - BETHANY65
Seriously... I wish Adam could talk to TeenNick user RILEY:
"When I was watching Adam go into the bathroom I was cringing so hard! As an ftm myself I saw two things he did wrong going in there and I knew it wasn't going to end well. One he was making small talk which isn't the worst thing but then looking at Dave while he was doing his business was breaking the code of the mens room. I was sitting in bed waving my hands at the computer screen when Adam did this "like what are you thinking???" Although I see where Dave's coming from, he had no right to publicly humiliate Adam on the damn radio. That's probably the last thing Adam needs is to be openly singled out for being transgender and for making a mistake."
The Week in Degrassi: Let's Review.Posted on 07/22/2011 by Mary
DREW AND BIANCA: It took some pretty extraordinary circumstances to do them in, but now it appears that Drianca are over. I talked to Luke Bilyk and Alicia Josipovic about the break-up, and they were as bummed as some of you guys out there about it:
Alicia: We were SO UPSET.
Luke: After we did that scene, we were like, "So, Stefan. We're getting back together, right?"... It was really rude of Drew to do that, especially after all that Bianca's done for Drew.
What do you think... was Drew rude? And do you think they'll get back together?
KC AND JENNA: So, Jenna's stuck in a pile of poo-protectors while KC gets to go to school -- and now a job -- with friends. How do you think things will go for them long term? Will Kenna figure it out and stay together until baby Tyson is old and gray?
ANYA AND OWEN: After a rough week, Anya is going for a sure thing. Do you think the fact that Owen is so into her will be good for her self-esteem? Or will he find some way to make things even worse?
ANNND CAKE. The mighty mighty Lumberjake has ambled into our lives, eaten Mrs. Edwards' food, and kissed Clare just to shut her up. Do you think he really is as "low drama" as he seems?
NEXT WEEK: We meet Imogen! And Katie! Plus some Ziley story, and two of my favorite eps from all of Now or Never.
And don't forget -- the Degrassi mobile game has already had its first update (and I officially suck at Degrassi skee ball... but I'm really good at making Eli like me.) It's only $0.99 in the app store at iTunes - just search for Degrassi.

Windshield washer fluid is a brightly colored liquid made of methanol, a poisonous alcohol. Sometimes small amounts of other toxic alcohols such as ethylene glycol are added to the mixture.
Some young children may mistake the fluid for juice, which can lead to accidental poisoning. Even small amounts can cause significant damage. This article discusses poisoning from swallowing windshield washer fluid.
This article is for information only. DO NOT use it to treat or manage an actual poison exposure. If you or someone you are with has an exposure, call your local emergency number (such as 911), or your local poison center can be reached directly by calling the national toll-free Poison Help hotline (1-800-222-1222) from anywhere in the United States.
Methanol (methyl alcohol, wood alcohol)
This poison is found in:
Symptoms of windshield washer fluid poisoning affect many different body systems, including:
Airway and lungs:
Heart and blood
Nervous system
Skin and nails
Stomach and intestines
Seek immediate medical help. DO NOT make a person throw up unless told to do so by Poison Control or a health care professional.
The following information is helpful for emergency assistance:
However, DO NOT delay calling for help if this information is not immediately available.
Your local poison center can be reached directly by calling the national toll-free Poison Help hotline (1-800-222-1222) from anywhere in the United States. They will give you further instructions.
This is a free and confidential service. All local poison control centers in the United States use this national number. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. You can call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The health care provider will measure and monitor the person's vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure. Symptoms will be treated as appropriate. The person may receive:
Because rapid removal of methanol is a key to treatment and survival, a kidney machine (renal dialysis) will likely be needed.
Methanol, the main ingredient in windshield washing fluid, is extremely poisonous. As little as 2 tablespoons can be deadly to a child. About 2 to 8 ounces can be deadly for an adult. Blindness is common and often permanent despite medical care.
The ultimate outcome depends on how much poison was swallowed and how soon treatment was received.
Although many windshield washer fluids are a watered-down form of methanol, they can still be dangerous if swallowed.

a big thank you to Lior for getting our heater working again... all warm in the Cohen household again.... Great job and prompt reliable service. Many thanks again!!
Thanks for the great job you did. It was a pleasure having you working in our home. I will happily recommend your services to friends and family
A couple of years ago Lior installed a Split aircon in our house. The specific spot we wanted it in had some structural constrains which made it difficult to place. Lior did not give up and managed to work around the constrains so the air conditioner could be placed exactly where we wanted it to be. We used Lior's services a few times since, once to service an old Window aircon unit which was not working very well. We thought we would need to replace it but Lior managed to get it working so it saved us some money as there was no need to replace it.Another time when our ducted heating stopped working, a different tradesman said we need to replace the whole unit. We called Lior and right from the phone conversation he knew what was wrong. He replaced a broken part and again, saved us a lot of money for not needing to replace the unit. Lior is honest, reliable, creative, knowledgeable and highly professional in his area. He provides a great and friendly service.

Creating connections, sharing knowledge and supporting the Australasian Epidemiological community
This issue's theme is Teaching Epidemiology and Biostatistics, ably moderated by guest editor Professor Catherine Bennet of Deakin University. This last issue is an appropriate one to go out on, the Round Table focusing on how we can convey our accumulated knowledge on epidemiology and biostats to the next generation of public health scientists. It's of a similar theme to our previous issue on Communicating Epidemiology, where authors discussed how to disseminate our knowledge to the greater public. Indeed, these are all of a common stripe with the mission of this journal, to communicate knowledge and findings regarding epidemiology research in Australasia with the greater public. While the present form of the journal must cease, the mission of the AEA continues and no doubt the great work of all the epidemiologists and biostatisticians of Australia, NZ and the Australasian region will continue well into the future.

It is well established that reducing food consumption by 25-60% without malnutrition consistently extends both the mean and maximum lifespan of a variety of species. Caloric restriction (CR) also delays the progression of a variety of age-associated diseases such as age-related hearing loss (AHL), a common feature of aging, in mammals. A previous study has shown that CR slows the progression of AHL in CBA/J mice, while we have shown previously that CR delays the onset of AHL in C57BL/6J mice and reduces cochlear cell loss. Understanding the mechanism of action of CR is a central area of aging research, since it is likely to yield novel therapeutic approaches for aging and age-related related diseases. Yet, the molecular mechanisms underlying AHL prevention by CR remain largely unknown. My central hypothesis is that the antioxidant enzyme glutathione reductase (Gsr) plays an essential role in protecting the inner ear from oxidative stress and slowing the development of AHL during aging and under CR conditions. Therefore, this proposed study will determine the role and the molecular mechanisms of Gsr in AHL in mammals.
In Specific Aim 1, I propose to determine whether during aging, Gsr plays an essential role in: 1) protection of the inner ear from oxidative stress and slowing the development of AHL in mice and 2) maintenance of the appropriate glutathione antioxidant defense under basal diet conditions.
In Specific Aim 2, I propose to determine whether under CR conditions, Gsr plays an essential role in: 1) reduction of oxidative stress in the inner ear and prevention of AHL and 2) enhancement of the glutathione system in the inner ear. This proposed study will advance understanding of the fundamental molecular mechanisms underlying the anti-aging action of CR in the auditory system in mammals.
Age-related hearing loss (AHL) is a common feature of mammalian aging and is the most frequently occurring sensory disorder in the elderly population. The main goal of this proposed project is to determine the role and the molecular mechanisms of the antioxidant enzyme glutathione reductase in AHL. Knowledge of these molecular mechanisms has enormous potential for improving health outcomes through the discovery/development of novel therapeutics for human AHL and other age-related sensory disorders.

They think he was a friend of the other three suicide attackers and, like them, lived an outwardly ordinary life in the Leeds area.
The men, at least three of whom were Britons of Pakistani origin, died with around 50 innocent victims when they blew themselves up on three packed rush hour underground trains and a bus.
Police and the security services fear the bombers could have been acting on the orders of an al-Qaida mastermind and there may be another bomb team waiting to strike.
Asked whether he believed they were part of a larger cell Home Secretary Charles Clarke said: "A central hypothesis which has to be tested and investigated is that the individuals we know about were working within a wider community."
Detectives were working furiously today piecing together the lives of the bombers as neighbours in West Yorkshire told of their shock that suicide attackers had been living in their midst.
The bombers had seemed liked normal young men who had lived in Britain all their lives.
Shehzad Tanweer, 22, from Beeston, Leeds, who blew himself up on the Aldgate train, was the son of a local fish and chip shop owner, he loved cricket and football and was a sports science graduate.
But friends claimed he had travelled to Afghanistan and Pakistan within the last six months, prompting fears he may have attended an al Qaida training camp.
Mohammed Sadique Khan, a 30-year-old from Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, blew himself up on the Edgware Road train, police believe.
Like Tanweer he seemed an unlikely suicide bomber. Friends said he was married with an eight-month-old baby girl and that he worked with disabled children in a primary school.
At almost exactly the same time - 8.50am - the as yet unnamed bomber blew himself up on a train between King's Cross and Russell Square.
Nearly an hour later Hasib Hussain, 19, who lived with his parents in the Leeds suburb of Holbeck, killed himself in the explosion on the number 30 bus at Tavistock Square.
When he left his home on Thursday morning, with only a few hours to live, he had told his parents the was going to London for the day with friends.
At 10.20pm that day his parents reported him missing to the police casualty bureau, providing one of the vital clues which led detectives to Leeds.
Neighbours said he had become "very religious" two years ago. His driving licence and cash cards were found in the mangled wreckage of the bus.

He was more than a headline
WESTMINSTER From her car, Gloria Vu saw her husband, Dieu, pedaling his three-wheel bicycle on the sidewalk.
She saw him this way often. They started and ended their days in the same place - home - but traveled, in the morning, in different ways to different places.
Gloria gave it little thought. She was late to open their specialty water business. Besides, she and Dieu would have lunch in a few hours, like always. So, straightening her eyes to the road ahead, she drove past her husband.
A few minutes before noon, Gloria, at the store, took a phone call. She thought the voice on the other end belonged to a law enforcement officer, but, English being her third language, she wasn't positive. After she hung up she called John, the oldest of Gloria's and Dieu's seven children, and told him what she did know.
"Your dad was in an accident," she said. "He was killed."
Hours later, at the intersection of Beach Boulevard and Edinger Avenue, John Vu and his siblings visited the place their father had died. All that remained was a bicycle tire print. The man who drove the highly raised truck that struck Dieu had been questioned by police and released. He would later say he never saw the man on the unusual bike; and that he was sorry.
Dieu, 72, was killed instantly.
When the news broke, readers at ocregister.com posted more than 200 online comments below a story headlined "Man killed while riding trike identified."
Of course, the man was more than that.
Since the accident, Dieu's sons and daughters have spent most evenings together - telling stories, sharing meals, wrapping arms around Gloria.
"It's back to what it used to be," said Lori, 33, the youngest.
This isn't the first time they've been without Dieu, the man who once ran miles to save their lives.
April, 1975.
In the final throes of the Vietnam War, bombs rained on Saigon, and Dieu Vu wanted to get his family out. So he left them and ran, literally, to a neighboring city by the sea, knowing they'd have a chance if he could reach his brother, an officer in South Vietnam's navy.
But when he made it to his destination, he found no one. His brother, he later learned, had headed in the opposite direction, to Saigon.
With the help of Dieu's brother, Dieu's family escaped. They got on a ship and left behind everything but each other - everyone, that is, but Dieu.
They landed first in Minnesota, where they struggled in a strange, cold world. Within a year they moved again, this time to Garden Grove.
The kids learned English from "Sesame Street," worked in sweat shops, picked up newspaper delivery routes. They gave their meager earnings to Gloria, who worked as a seamstress. They moved 11 times in 12 years.
"I stopped unpacking," said Sharon, now 38, "… left my clothes in Hefty trash bags."
But Gloria made sure her kids knew about Dieu, who she was told was still alive. She spoke his name him often; displayed his photos. The kids remembered him in their prayers.
And Dieu never forgot about them. Captured by communist officials in the days after his family's escape to America, he spent years chopping teak trees in a reeducation camp, deep in a Vietnamese forest.
During that time, Gloria saved what she could to buy her husband's freedom. Three times she raised money for four pounds of gold - the assumed bail amount. And, three times, Dieu was brought back to captivity.
A sergeant in the U.S. Army - a man who was one of the first Americans to greet the Vu family - started writing letters to Congress, the Senate, South Asian embassies. Lots of letters.
Then the Vus' friend in the military sent word; he'd made contact.
The family would soon be whole again.
He was "automatically Dad."
That's how Lori says she felt about the man she first saw in an airport terminal in early 1990. She'd been the surprise child, the last of seven, the one born in the United States. Still, just like that, a connection clicked.
As for Gloria, the siblings can't give much detail about her reaction except to say "she glowed."
Soon, with Dieu again in their lives, the Vus' luck began to change.
The family launched a store in Huntington Beach called the Water Market. It would never enrich them like their three businesses in Vietnam had, but a modest income was enough.
Dieu took advantage of his newfound freedom. Despite an arm that had atrophied in prison, he exercised daily. He also marched next to Gloria in anti-Communist protests. And, in the days after 9/11, Dieu joined Gloria in handing out American flags to all their kids.
Sharon remembers trying to stop her mom from posting a "Thank America" sign near the cash register.
"C'mon, Mom," Sharon said, "let's be professional."
"I'm thankful," Gloria shot back, "and I want everyone to know it."
Now, their luck seems to have turned again.
On some nights since Dieu's death, there's not much energy or appetite for cooking. That's when meals from the Vus' many friends feed the family. The siblings - all but a brother who has moved to Florida - gather regularly in Lori's kitchen.
They recall memories of their father; Dieu inviting Jehovah's Witnesses into the house and talking their ears off; Dieu greeting Latino customers with a warm "Hola;" Dieu pedaling his bike as best as his war-torn body would allow.
Gloria sits nearby, a baby grandson balancing on her knees. Every now and then, she walks over to her kids and speaks intensely in Vietnamese. She's haunted by that last sighting, when she saw her husband from the driver's side window.
What if she had stopped? What if she had given him a ride?
The children, too, have their questions.
But they assure their mother that what happened wasn't her fault. Dieu always took that route to the gym. His death - for all they know and are being told - was an accident.
"Things like this," they tell her, "bump you into the upper tier of heaven."

If prizes were handed out for proficiency in the field of power pop, the New Pornographers would win every time.
The fifth album from the Canadian collective centred around Neko Case, AC Newman and Dan Bejar contains 12 songs that rarely rise above the mid-tempo mush. A word or two will jump out and the odd Case vocal will draw in, but beyond that... The sense of disappointment is only intensified by the lack of anything to touch "Hey, Snow White", from last year's Dark Was the Night compilation.
