...Howard's, only with a fresher face and a more inclusive smile. A government that cared, in the financial sense, about public hospitals and schools, and the frustrations of a too-slow Internet connection. A government that would help them atone for their coal-powered prosperity by ratifying the Kyoto Protocol on climate change...
...likely to go Howard's way on foreign policy, too. What he described as "fundamental differences" with Howard - his vows to ratify the Kyoto Protocol on climate change and pull troops from Iraq - are largely symbolic. Though Australia is outside the Kyoto regime, the country has met its emissions targets. And on the question of a successor treaty to Kyoto, Rudd in mid-campaign abruptly took the Howard position: a Labor government would not ratify Kyoto II unless it required China and India to limit their emissions. On Iraq, Rudd has moderated Labor's earlier "pull-out-now" policy...
Twenty-five days. That's how long it took Dr. Shinya Yamanaka of Kyoto University to undo more than 30 years of exquisitely programmed biology packed into a woman's cheek cell - and just maybe change the world.

And he wasn't alone: on the same day that he published his milestone in the journal Cell, James Thomson...
Rudd is offering the country just enough tinkering around the edges of government policy in the areas of Iraq (a phased pull out of Australia's 1,400 troops), industrial relations (abolition of an unpopular Howard program) climate change (ratifying the Kyoto Protocol), education (more laptops in high schools) and communications (faster Internet access) to convince Australians that it's worth making a change. "After 11 years, it's now time to turn the page on this government," Rudd says. "Australia is a great country but not as great...
...Kitcho-brand outposts, located in posh hotels in major cities, are practical for novices, down to the English menus and the tables and chairs. However, they are the culinary equivalent of ready-to-wear when we had set our hearts on haute couture. I've heard that people in Kyoto will ruin themselves for clothes, while in Osaka it's food. Since the original Kitcho is the bastion of traditional Osakan gastronomy, we were hell-bent on ruining ourselves there...
