...have failed to match increased job insecurity with a corresponding expansion of social welfare. It's true that Japan's public debt is approaching 200% of GDP - the highest among developed countries - which limits the government's options. Still, the state must deepen the social safety net to better cover the underserved: young workers and families. This will help reverse the population decline, rebalance growth toward domestic demand and remove the need to mitigate unemployment by propping up inefficient companies and farms. Japanese citizens will have to make sacrifices - they may have to pay more taxes, for example. But neglecting...
...Speaking of, we get to spy on Sienna Miller's fittings for the cover shoot, which gives us the pleasure of seeing a confident actress quiver in the presence of Wintour (not a hugger). But having sniffed out a good story arc, director R.J. Cutler, who produced The War Room and co-directed A Perfect Candidate, sticks to it, looking for more illustrations of conflict between the masthead's two giant feminine forces - like the scene in which Wintour eyes the results of a $50,000 photo shoot inspired by John Galliano designs and starts slashing. Coddington moans...
...emissions come from the planet itself, as bacteria in soil and the oceans break down nitrogen. Though N2O is regulated by the Kyoto Protocol of 1997 as a greenhouse gas - and one that is nearly 300 times more potent for global warming than CO2 - that treaty doesn't cover all nations, and will expire in 2012. "The question is how are we going to reduce these gases," says Daniel. "We need to bridge that gap between science and policy." (See pictures of the effects of global warming...
Which of the uninsured would be left out? The bill most likely would attempt to cover children who have not received coverage under other federal programs, and possibly their parents. It might also expand the Medicaid program to low-income people who do not currently qualify. But it is hard to imagine a scaled-down bill that would cover, for instance, middle-aged single workers, many of whom suffering chronic health problems, which are a major driver of medical costs. If the Senate decides to pass the bill under parliamentary rules that prevent a filibuster, it may also have...
...drug that resembles it. The Analogue Drug Act of 1986 automatically outlaws any drug "substantially similar" to an illegal drug in either composition or effect. The U.K. is moving closer to the U.S. model, but instead of a blanket ban, the government is crafting several smaller laws to cover whole families of drugs. Cannabinoids will join marijuana as a Class B drug, which will mean fines or up to five years in prison for possession and up to 14 years for dealing. BZP and GBL, meanwhile, will be Class C: possession could lead to a fine...
