...eases China's rise while helping to ensure that democratic allies like Japan do not feel threatened by it. To show how important the alliance with Japan used to be considered, the U.S. for many years appointed seasoned politicians to the U.S. embassy in Japan. That pattern has been broken recently, and this year Obama appointed John Roos, a Democratic fundraiser from Los Angeles, to Tokyo. Roos may turn out to be an excellent envoy. But he will have his work cut out. The Japanese election - it becomes clearer every day - represents a sea change in politics there...
Since taking over, commissioner Carrion has tried hard to fix what she says was a "broken system." In addition to hiring 37 mental-health professionals, the feisty Bronx attorney has significantly restricted the use of physical restraints, created a 24-hour hotline for kids to report abuses and reinvigorated oversight mechanisms, like an ombudsman and independent review board - which most observers (including the state inspector general) agree had been terribly neglected under her long-serving predecessor, John A.

Hundreds of small family farms provide safe, healthy food to their communities, even though they do not farm organically. These farmers rely on pasturing, sanitary conditions and care to keep their animals healthy and happy, without depleting the environment. While local food will always cost more, it is often more affordable and offers many of the health benefits of organic food. Emily Everett, WILLIAMSBURG...
...didn't, you might have ended up dead. "The dividing line between those two was clearly educational opportunity," he says. Sure, all kids are guaranteed seats in a classroom, but too many are taught by middling teachers in awful schools, Duncan says. "It's obvious the system's broken. Let's admit it's broken, let's admit it's dysfunctional, and let's do something dramatically different, and let's do it now. But don't just tinker around the edges. Don't just play with it. Let's fix the thing...
