Gen. Leon J. LaPorte
It has been confirmed that the United States recently decided to replace the commander of U.S. Forces Korea (USFK),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who also serves as commander of Combined Forces Command (CFC). Accordingly, the current commander, Gen. Leon J. LaPorte,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], will be replaced within the year. Tentatively named to replace him is Gen. Burwell B Bell,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who currently commands U.S. forces in Europe.
LaPorte,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who assumed command of USFK in May 2002,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], was asked to stay on by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld late last year,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and was expected to continue in his current position until at least next spring. The United States isn't making known the background to the change in command.

Multiple sources familiar with USFK said Tuesday that the Pentagon decided to replace Gen. Laporte and tentatively named a replacement. They also said they understood that Washington has already informed Seoul of the move. The new commander would be named this year at the earliest,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and early next year at the latest.
In the United States,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], when a new USFK commander is named, the president names the commander-designate at the recommendation of the Defense Secretary. The Senate Armed Services Committee then holds a hearing and a plenary session of the Senate confirms the nominee.

Gen. Bell,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who has tentatively been named the next USFK commander,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is currently commander of U.S. Army Europe, the 7th U.S. Army and NATO's Allied Land Component. He has one year's experience in Korea,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as an operations officer with the 1st Battalion,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 72nd Armor Regiment of the 2nd Infantry Division in 1979.

Jon Il-chun stands to the left of North Korean leader Kim Jong-il during a visit to the Sonhung food factory in Pyongyang,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. /[North] Korean Central News Agency
In the TV clip on Sunday,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Jon is seen with Kim on an tour to Hyangmanlu, a popular restaurant, and Sonhung food manufacturing plant. A North Korean defector who used to live in Pyongyang,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], said the restaurant was built in the 1990s by a wealthy ethnic Korean from Japan and is located in a busy part of Pyongyang. "It was always packed with wealthy party officials,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," the defector said,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], adding the party manages the restaurant so the entire proceeds probably go into Kim Jong-il's coffers. He added there is a strong possibility that the food factory also belongs to the party.
The last time Jon appeared on North Korean TV was on June 20,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], at the opening of a mine in Ryanggang Province. A North Korean source said the Huchang Mine is a famous copper mine that had been closed for some time but must have reopened. "Judging by the fact that Jon took part in the opening ceremony,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it appears to be one of many mines run by Room 39."
Jon was also spotted at Kim's inspections of two fisheries companies last year and one this year. A Unification Ministry official said, "North Korean exports of fisheries products are handled by the party or the military and they're sources of revenue for Kim Jong-il's slush fund." Fisheries products accounted for the second largest North Korea's W1.64 trillion exports to South Korea last year,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], amounting to W173 billion or 16.3 percent. Textiles totaled W477 billion or 44.8 percent.
"This is one of the reasons why we blocked imports of North Korean fisheries products" following the North's sinking of the Navy corvette Cheonan, the official said.
South Korean intelligence officials breathed a sigh of relief on Sunday. They had finally located Jon Il-chun, the head of a special department in North Korea's Workers Party that manages Kim Jong-il's slush fund. Jon, who had eluded intelligence officials for the past six months,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], was finally spotted on a North Korean TV broadcast featuring one of leader Kim Jong-il's so-called on-the-spot guidance tours in Pyongyang.
The 69-year-old Jon went to high school with Kim (6Cool and was appointed head of the department,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], known as Room 39, early this year. It manages 17 overseas branch offices and around 100 trading companies and even owns a gold mine and a bank. The US$200-300 million those companies make each year is funneled into Kim's secret bank accounts around the world.
Room 39 is targeted each time the U.S. and other foreign governments apply financial sanctions against North Korea. Kim replaced its head early this year because the former director,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Kim Tong-un, was put on an EU list of sanctioned individuals late last year, making it impossible for him to manage the leader's secret overseas bank accounts.
Due to the importance of the department and the clandestine nature of its business,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the director of Room 39 rarely appears in public, but he sometimes accompanies Kim Jong-il on guidance tours when they involve organizations linked to Kim's slush funds, an intelligence official said.

One of those locations and surgeons is the Madras Joint Replacement Center located in Chennai, India. Run by world-renowned and respected orthopedic surgeon Dr. A.K. Venkatachalam, the Madras Joint Replacement Center treats a number of hip issues caused by arthritis,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], fractures, traumatic injury,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], disease and osteoporosis among others. As a board-certified, highly trained and experienced orthopedic surgeon in Chennai, Dr. Venkatachalam is a leader in his field of joint replacement surgeries throughout the Middle East, the United Kingdom,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Belgium, and Asia.
Traveling Abroad for Hip Joint Procedures
Costs of healthcare and surgery continue to skyrocket in the U.S.,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and around the world. However, affordable joint replacement procedures are still available around the world, and from highly respected facilities and surgeons around the world.
Which is For You?
If you're facing a hip procedure,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it's good to know which are most commonly performed based on your age and activity level. For example, hip resurfacing is most often performed on younger or younger,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], relatively active middle-aged individuals under 55 years of age, most of whom have been diagnosed with arthritis. Shaving off a few millimeters of bone to restore worn-out surfaces may be all you need to restore mobility.
Joint replacement procedures are most often performed on older or elderly individuals who have a more sedentary lifestyle, as the joint replacement may help restore function and mobility, but is not designed to deal with the brunt of high-impact sports or activities.
For more information regarding Dr. Venkatachalam,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], his qualifications and credential as well as the Madras Joint Replacement Center, visit PlacidWay.com,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], an international medical provider and resource for reliable information regarding multiple medical fields, surgeries, procedures, facilities and doctors abroad.
Author's Bio:
Total hip replacement procedures involve the insertion of a metal prosthetic ball that replaces a damaged or weakened ball portion of the upper thighbone at the hip socket,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. A prosthetic socket may also be inserted into the hip socket itself for additional strength and stability.
Benefits of Hip Resurfacing or Hip Replacement
Restoration of range of motion and reduction of pain caused by bones rubbing against each other, are two important benefits of hip resurfacing procedures. Stabilization of the hip joint is a benefit of a partial or total hip replacement, bringing with it increased function and range of motion. Increased mobility, reduction of pain and greater independence are benefits of a total hip replacement. Enhanced quality of life and pain relief are the main goals of any orthopedic hip surgical procedure.

Do you know the difference between a hip resurfacing procedure and a partial or total hip replacement? If you don't, you'd better find out,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], especially if your orthopedic doctor suggests one over the other. Take charge of your joint health and care, and be informed so you can make educated and rational decisions about your surgical procedure and your future health and mobility.
Basics First
First, know the difference between a hip replacement and a hip resurfacing procedure. In a nutshell, a hip resurfacing procedure replaces or removes only the surface of the hip joint, promoting faster healing and recuperation. For most individuals, hip resurfacing involves the head of the femur,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or thighbone. Special surgical instruments scrape and shape the bone of the femoral head of the thighbone so that a new metal surface may be fitted on top of the bone.

A partial hip replacement might involve resurfacing of the hip socket. A partial hip replacement or resurfacing is commonly recommended for younger and more active patients. The process involves the reshaping of the head of the femur, or the ball end of the upper leg so it fits more securely into the hip socket. A metal cap or plastic cover is placed over the ball end of the joint and realigned within the hip socket. In some cases, a thin metal receptacle may also be inserted into the socket portion of the hip for a more stable fit.

My-Identity-Doctor Diabetes Bracelet and Medical ID Jewelry is the most cost-effective and least invasive way to make sure that you are conveying the correct information.
If you suffer from any type of allergy,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], then it is essentially that you properly identify yourself through the use of medical identification jewelry. This is especially true if you suffer from an allergy to a common type of medication,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], such as aspirin or penicillin,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as you may be treated with these drugs unknowingly if you are unable to communicate. Emergency medical personnel will search your body for any such types of medical jewelry before administering treatment, and will quickly and easily spot your medical ID jewelry and adjust their treatment based on that information.
Any condition that is categorized as chronic and could alter the way that you are treated for standard procedures and emergencies should be identified through the use of medical jewelry. If you are in a car accident, become unconscious, or are somehow unable to communicate your condition to emergency personnel, then medical ID jewelry can save your life.

What Conditions Require Medical Jewelry,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]?
Medical jewelry comes highly recommended by medical professionals for your safety.
If you have a common chronic condition that could affect the way that you are treated for unrelated conditions or emergencies,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], then it is crucially important that you wear a piece of medical jewelry or medical ID jewelry at all times. This way,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], if you are suddenly hospitalized for your condition or for an unrelated accident, your caregivers will be able to make the correct decisions involving your treatment after seeing your medical jewelry.
Other types of conditions that require the use of medical jewelry include autism, Alzheimer’s disease,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], diabetes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], asthma, epilepsy, any type of seizure disorder, a rare blood type, if you have a pacemaker installed,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and if you are taking medications that are known to have poor reactions with other types of medications, such as blood thinners.

Even if the desk did not collapse, I might not be able to fit the light tube into the holes at each end of the light fitting and, even if I did, the light might not work and/or the electric fitting might catch fire! The fitting had seemed to glow red as the previous light tube expired!
Author&#039,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych];s Bio:
On Wednesday 23rd January 2008, my first goal of the day was to change the fluorescent tube light which is high on the ceiling over my desk. I expected the following might go wrong:
I, also, prefer Bijan's law to Murphy's law. It can motivate you to get a move on with your goals. However, Murphy's law can still be a useful law in achieving your goals. It repays closer study
By John Watson
See all Articles by John WatsonGet Updates on AchievementGet Updates on John Watson Average: 0 Your rating: None Tweet
How many times have you had a bad day when everything seemed to go wrong at the worst possible moment? You failed to achieve most of your goals and felt that the universe was against you.
The small step ladder might break under my weight as I used it to climb on to my desk just as the attic ladder had collapsed under me a few months ago. I might even get my foot trapped within the ladder like a neighbour whose foot was nearly amputated by her own metal ladder,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. She retained her foot by holding it in place until help arrived but has had endless problems and pain for years as a result of this one unfortunate accident.
So then, let's expect miracles by visualising the wonderful things that could happen rather than worrying about possible disasters that might well not happen. But let's also be aware of the problems that might bite us, if we do not take all necessary precautions.
Expect things to go right as you strive to achieve your goals and you are far more likely to achieve them. It is also worth remembering this great quote: "Life is not numbered by the amount of breaths we take but by the moments which take our breath away." Such moments constitute the miracles - the wonderful things, events, experiences and people - we should be expecting and appreciating every day of our lives.
When I moved on to open my emails, in triumphant mood, I came across one from Christopher Westra which had a new law inside which I much prefer to Murphy's: "Everything that CAN go right WILL go right. Expect Miracles!"
Perhaps, the universe was to blame or perhaps you were to blame because you expected things to go wrong. We might be able to avoid such debacles by expecting miracles instead. In case anyone is wondering, one dictionary defines a 'debacle' as a 'total and often ludicrous failure.' 'Miracle' in this article simply means 'something wonderful'.
Another example of defensive design can be seen in car design. Car designers have allowed for the tendency of some drivers to drive badly. They have created safety features like seat belts which will limit the damage caused by accidents.
An awareness of Murphy's law can then help all human beings especially the stupid ones to achieve their goals! I have, since my teenage years, classed myself amongst the technically stupid ones. I now realize that no one should think of themselves as stupid in connection with any skill or area of knowledge because if you consistently think of yourself as stupid you tend to become so and make only half-hearted efforts to improve.
Make sure that there are no shark fins around if you go for a swim in the sea and don't forget to check that the swimming pool is full of water before you dive into it. I have heard about at least one person who dived into an empty pool without checking simply because it had been full of water the day before! I am not sure if that story is true or not but would not be surprised if it was.
I am exaggerating but only a little and I would not have tried to change the light tube if I had really believed that everything would go wrong. However, I still believed a watered down version of Murphy's law that some things that could go wrong might go wrong at the worst possible moment and I nearly gave up on my goal before I even started. I could have used a lamp instead of changing the fluorescent light. In the event, everything went right although at times I struggled. The ladder and the desk held up under my full weight - over twenty stone - and the fluorescent light is now shining brightly above me. Goal achieved.
For example, the 3.5-inch floppy disk once used in many computers will not easily fit into the drive unless it is put in the right way up. In contrast, the older 5.25-inch floppy disk could be inserted in a variety of ways that might damage the disk or drive.
The newer CD-ROM and DVD formats permit one incorrect orientation - the disc may be inserted upside-down, which is harmless to the disc. A defensive designer knows that if it is possible for the disc to be inserted the wrong way, someone will eventually try it.
If you are doing business with somebody,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], make sure they are not a 'shark' who will just take your money. On the other hand, you need to trust and expect the best from some people or it will take a long time to achieve anything. If you love alcohol, avoid too much to drink or the world will literally become your playground as you fall and slip all over the place like a confused child. If you are a workaholic,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], get some rest or the same thing will happen!
Designers of all kinds of products have long recognized the tendency of people as well as the universe to mess things up. Murphy's law has encouraged them to use defensive design i.e. to make things so simple and easy to use that even the greatest idiot can use them successfully,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
The perversity, or apparently deliberate tendency to mess things up,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], of the universe has long been commented on,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and forerunners to the modern version of Murphy's law are not hard to find. For example, an Ohio newspaper printed this poem in 1841: "I never had a slice of bread, Particularly large and wide, That did not fall upon the floor, And always on the buttered side."
The law that produces this kind of experience has been around for a long time but after 1952,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the name 'Murphy' was attached to it possibly when some measuring devices invented by Edward Murphy went wrong.
He called it Bijan's law after it's author and added the following comment: "I came across this today and really liked it. I hope you liked it too. It's my philosophy, but I like the way Bijan phrases it."
Hopefully, your life will be full of goal achievement and miracles rather than debacles. Think daily of Bijan's law but, occasionally, remember Murphy's law and take steps to keep any debacles to a minimum.
If the ladder did not collapse, I thought the desk might collapse if I had to put all my weight on it. My computer would then hit the floor with major damage and so would my monitor not to mention the phone and everything else on my desk. I would also hurtle to the floor breaking several bones and ending up in agony and even a state of paralysis for life!
The British stage magician Nevil Maskelyne discovered this for himself. He wrote in 1908: "It is an experience common to all men to find that, on any special occasion, such as the production of a magical effect for the first time in public,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], everything that can go wrong will go wrong. Whether we must attribute this to the malignity of matter or to the total depravity of inanimate things, whether the exciting cause is hurry,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], worry, or what not, the fact remains."
Murphy's law is a well known saying that broadly states that things will go wrong in any given situation,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], if you give them a chance. The law, thus, gives us fair warning not to leave things to chance. Instead we should prepare well and practice whatever we are planning to do especially if we are performing in public. We should avoid both hurry and worry.

Japan's central island of Honshu is waking up to scenes of widespread death and devastation from a massive earthquake and tsunami that hit its Pacific coast Friday, with local media saying as many as 1,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 people may have been killed.
Japanese geologists have long forecasted a huge earthquake in Japan, and the country has been preparing for the "big one" for decades. But the 8.9 magnitude quake that struck Friday off the coast of Honshu was far bigger than anticipated.
The 8.9 magnitude quake struck waters east of Honshu early Friday afternoon, shaking buildings in Tokyo and sending waves up to 10 meters high into coastal areas northeast of the capital. It was the most powerful earthquake on record to hit Japan and the world's fifth largest in more than a century.
Japanese officials said radiation levels surged outside a nuclear power plant in the city of Fukushima,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], after the reactor's cooling system failed and caused pressure to rise inside the facility. Authorities ordered about 3,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 people to evacuate areas within several kilometers of the Fukushima Daiichi plant.
Buildings burn in Yamada town,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Iwate Prefecture,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], northeastern Japan, following an 8.9 magnitude earthquake that triggered a 10-meter tsunami on March 11,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 2011. /Reuters


Television footage showed a muddy torrent of water sweeping across farmland near the city of Sendai, carrying vehicles and buildings, some of them on fire. Japanese authorities said 200 to 300 bodies have been found in Sendai,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the city closest to the quake.
Japan's National Police Agency reported at least 150 other deaths from the disaster and said more than 500 people were missing,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Damage to highways was making it difficult for rescuers to reach the worst-affected areas and determine more accurate casualty figures,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Northeast of Sendai, fires raged through the night in Kesennuma, a town of 70,000 people. A large fire also erupted at an oil refinery in Ichihara, near Tokyo. Japanese media say a ship carrying 100 people also was carried away by the tsunami. The quake halted all train services between Tokyo and neighboring towns,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], leaving thousands of people stranded in the capital, unable to get home.
The tsunami flooded beaches in the U.S. island chain of Hawaii and damaged harbors in the West Coast state of California while prompting alerts as far away as Chile. The U.S,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Coast Guard was searching for a man swept out to sea while taking pictures of the waves on the coast of northern California.
Addressing the nation,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan said his government will do everything it can to minimize the effects of the disaster. He warned the public to stay alert for further notices and said additional tsunamis could strike over the next one or two days.

European leaders have welcomed Ireland's request for a bailout package from the European Union and the International Monetary Fund,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. The Irish government applied for the bailout Sunday to help salvage its economy,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Spain's Foreign Affairs Minister Trinidad Jimenez said Monday that Ireland's decision to accept a bailout is good news. She said European Union solidarity has worked and the euro will be stable once again because of the help of all the countries within the European Union,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
The Irish government had denied for weeks that it would need a rescue package to help salvage its economy. But after an emergency meeting Sunday night, the country's Taoiseach, or prime minister,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], said Ireland had requested financial help.
The total amount has yet to be agreed, but it's estimated to be worth around $100 billion -- slightly less than a similar package loaned to Greece earlier this year.
Austrian Foreign Affairs Minister Michael Spindelegger said the bailout would stop contagion spreading to other weak economies within the euro zone,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
"If you have a look at the euro and the stability of the euro of course this was the right way to proceed,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Spindelegger said.
Ireland is mired in debt because the government had to bail out the country's main banks, a move that cost $60 billion and drove the 2010 deficit to 32 percent of GDP.
Sam Bowman of the free market research group Adam Smith Institute,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], said the rescue package is a mistake.
"The problem is that the Irish banks borrowed recklessly and funded a property bubble that has now burst. And what we are doing in this bailout is paying off people who lent to the Irish banks to try to prevent them from making losses," Bowman said. "And what is going to happen is that the Irish taxpayer is going to have to pay back those debts. So really what we're doing is transferring the debt from the people who lent to the banks to the Irish tax payer and that's really not fair and it's really very bad for the Irish economy."
Measures to boost Irish government revenue will be part of the loan deal. One likely option is raising Ireland's corporate tax -- Bowman said that would weaken the country's economy,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
"[The] European Union is proposing that Ireland raises taxes, particularly corporation tax, which is the way Ireland has managed to grow over the last 20 years, is by attracting foreign investment, companies like Facebook, Google,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Hewlett Packard,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], other drugs companies etcetera through a low corporation tax rate, and forcing Ireland to raise its corporation tax rate is really going to mean that it's losing all chance of recovery and I think it's an extremely, extremely bad step,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Bowman said.
The EU Commissioner for Economic and Monetary Affairs said Monday details of the loan agreement may not be finalized until the end of the month,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].

While the country is awash in talks about the general election and its aftermath, another important national matter is underway. Yi So-yeon is currently lodged at the International Space Station, and the first phase of the manufacturing of the Korea Space Launcher Vehicle-1 (KSLV-1) is nearing completion in Moscow.
On the day the Russian rocket with Yi aboard was launched, a TV station aired related programs for over 10 hours. The space flight hardly warrants that much attention. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) classified her as not "a space woman" but "a spaceflight participant under a commercial contract." In other words, she is a tourist who is visiting a space station owned by the U.S., Russia,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the European Union and Japan. She is a tourist from the 36th country into space,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], at that.
The experiments Yi is conducting in space being primary, it's not entirely wrong to contend that the government is using W26 billion (US$1=W987) in taxpayers' money for an individual's space tour. What is urgently needed for us at the moment is not a manned space flight but rocket engine technology. Yi's stay in space is not something we've achieved, but a warning that the time has come for South Korea to decide whether we should focus our national strength on going to space or end up imitating others like this.
The KSLV-1 is scheduled to be launched from Oinarodo Space Center in South Jeolla Province at year's end at a cost of over W500 billion. A plan to launch a much heavier spacecraft with a rocket completely manufactured in South Korea about 10 years later is estimated to cost more than W4 trillion. There is no guarantee whatsoever that even with that much spending we will be able to somewhat catch up with the U.S., Russia, China,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Japan and the EU.
The term "technology transfer" does not exist in the space industry. Russia is building our rocket together and has sent Yi So-yeon to the space station. While doing this,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], however, Russia has been extremely security sensitive, lest we might witness even a screw being driven. Replacing Ko San for too minor reasons, a Russian official said,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], "The space technology we have developed over 50-odd years cannot be subject to a diplomatic compromise." The U.S. is even more strict than Russia. "The world powers will absolutely not permit developing countries to step into the aeronautics and space industry," said a top executive of Hyundai Heavy Industries. No investment in space would be riskier than one under such circumstances.
An investment in a space project is bigger and more uncertain than the proposed Grand Canal Project. Once built, a canal, whether it is economically feasible or not, will remain. A space project, if it fails,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], could end up simply a money pit. But it is the Grand Canal that has emerged as a national issue, because it has become a political one. Examined from the degree of danger and risk the state must assume,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], however, whether we should go to space or not indeed requires a national and political determination.
The Bush administration in the U.S. has announced a new space strategy of constructing a permanent base on the moon in 16 years. The lunar base will be a science outpost and a center for technologies needed for future expeditions to Mars. Sixteen years come around fairly soon. The U.S. has asked other countries to participate in the venture; it wants to share the costs. South Korea plans to take part, but without any accompanying technology we will pay money and gain nothing of substance. Deciding whether to participate in the lunar base project or not is really not an easy matter.
Until a short while ago, we were a nation with a tendency for negative decisions on such matters. But world history has become the stage of the Westerners who sailed westward aboard ships unconditionally 500 years ago. If you explore untrodden routes, you may eventually open a new world,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], though you might well sustain injuries on the way. This experience is inherited in the DNA of the offspring of the world powers.
A calculation of the economic benefits of an investment in the space industry would be important. More fundamental,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], however,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is a proposition that we, too, go out aboard vessels and see if a new world exists beyond our globe. China plans to build a lunar base on its own and Japan dreams of developing a deep space base four times farther than the moon. The world powers are making space their territories,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and occupying the time called the future. Space is sometime bound to become a second "new continent" in human history. We must go to the moon this time,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], even if it means clutching one leg of the U.S.

In 1984, Toyota Motor and GM joined hands to build a production plant in California,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], where the Toyota Corolla and GM’s Geo Prism were manufactured. While the Corolla cost US$300 more than the Prism,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it outsold the GM car by two or three to one. Even second-hand Corollas fetched up to $2,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 more than a used Prism because U.S. consumers trusted the reliability of the Japanese brand. For a long time,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Toyota symbolized quality and safety.
Now Toyota is suffering an unprecedented crisis following its massive recall in the U.S. over defective parts. President Akio Toyoda,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the grandson of the company's founder,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], was grilled by U.S. lawmakers for more than three hours at a Congressional hearing on Wednesday. "I deeply regret that I caused concern among so many people," Toyoda said. Following the hearing,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he lost control of his emotions and burst into tears during a meeting with workers at Toyota's U.S. plants and dealers.
Toyota's crisis is not solely due to quality and safety problems. American cars have also had problems with defective parts. Ford Motor had to recall more than 14 million vehicles between 1999 and 2009 to fix faulty cruise control switches,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but it did not have to face a grilling in Congress. The Congressional probe of Toyota is unprecedented.
Some critics say that Toyota has been unfairly targeted in the U.S. They claim that Washington is picking on Toyota in order to assuage America's damaged pride following the decline of Detroit's "Big Three" automakers, and as a way to deal with the U.S. trade deficit with Japan. U.S. sentiment toward Toyota worsened after the automaker decided in August of last year to shut down the joint venture plant in California, threatening 30,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 jobs. GM,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which had entered bankruptcy protection, had pulled out of the plant before Toyota,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but it was the Japanese company that caught the blame.
Also playing a part is the change in the U.S.-Japan alliance since the launch of the Yukio Hatoyama administration. Just after his inauguration,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Japanese prime minister irritated Washington by overturning an agreement on the relocation of a U.S. military base in Okinawa and calling for an "equal" relationship with the U.S. It seems the U.S. has seized a chance to strike back. Now Toyota is paying for the Hatoyama administration's policy of prioritizing its pride above national interests.

Creating an ASK environment and giving yourself and others permission to ASK is an important step in creating the space for team members (and leaders) to step out of their comfort zone. The environment must be safe to ASK.
The third was the fear of being perceived as incapable, unable to do the job,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or weak. Fear and not knowing were at the root of their inability to ASK. This was a high performing team; imagine the results if they stepped out of their comfort zone to ASK…their results would be incredible!
ASKing is uncomfortable for most of us but we need to be willing to go outside our comfort zone to receive what we need. We also need to be open to helping others overcome their discomfort and find their voice to ASK. By being willing to ASK we can set an example for others to do the same. By being approachable, we can give others the opportunities they need to ASK for themselves.
Take Mike’s situation. He is the leader of a pretty effective team. This team has energy,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], passion and is meeting deadlines at warp speed. However, this team tends to work in isolation from one another. When they have sat back and pinpointed where the pinch points are, many have led back to not ASKing (for help, clarification, feedback, time and resources). What has been preventing the team members ASKing for help? The first response was,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], “We didn’t know that we could (ask for help).” The pace of the work and the environment they worked in didn’t really model asking one another for assistance. Their leader Mike rarely ASKed for help, so some felt that there was an unwritten rule about ASKing,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and avoided it.
Author's Bio:
Bob had a similar attitude and belief system as Sally. He identified enough “problems” to fill a sheet of flip chart paper during a facilitated brainstorming session on how to build a healthier work culture. Bob’s common response to many questions was,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], “Same s---,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], different day.” I watched the energy drain from his colleagues’ faces every time he made that statement,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but Bob was completely unaware of the impact his words had on those around him. He looked at problems, not possibilities. He was so caught up in what was wrong, broken or not working to consider what it could be like. Bob’s way of being prevented people from ASKing him, too.
The second reason the ASK was avoided stemmed from a fear of what others would think.
Making an ASK (defined as a request) may not change your team, business,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or life exponentially, but not ASKing will ensure the status quo remains. Making a request or an ASK can have a significant difference in the quality of your business, team,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or life and help you quickly achieve what you need.
Sally expected her supervisor to be a mind-reader. How sad! Sally had missed these opportunities and was now miserable at work. The more I spoke to Sally,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the more I learned that this pattern was prevalent in her life. She expected her spouse to “just know” what she needed or felt, and was constantly disappointed when her expectations were not met. Sally had become bitter and blamed the company and her supervisor for not promoting her, but took no responsibility for changing her situation, or for letting her employer know her needs and goals. In fact, she didn’t even mention her goals during her performance reviews. It was almost as though she “tested” her supervisor to see if she could figure it out. How different Sally’s life and business may have been if she had dabbled her foot over that discomfort line in the sand, and let people know her goals and ASKed for opportunities to grow with the organization.
Let’s talk about Sally, a long term employee in public service who has held the same position for many years. Although she wanted to move up the corporate ladder,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], she shared that she was now just “putting in time”. I was curious to what happened to her goal. Sally responded with a simple statement: “I never got a promotion!”
Jane worked for an educational institution that placed high value on innovation, engagement and learning - not just for students, but also for staff. This environment seemed to invite employees to ASK. Sam had the opposite experience. He worked for a paramilitary organization that had a long way to go in creating an ASK environment. As a new employee, he recalled having lots to learn. His first few requests for mentoring and guidance were met with a white binder being placed in his hands accompanied by,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], “It’s in the manual. Read it!” Sam avoided ASKing for help for a long time.
Let’s be real for a moment. Doing an ASK in no way guarantees that your request will be met. However, one thing’s for certain. Not asking ensures that your request will not be met. As a professional in the business of helping individuals and teams exceed their potential and meet their needs, I am constantly reminded of how few people ask for what they need. And I am more surprised at how people sabotage the ASK the moment the words leave their mouth, or ask in a way that diminishes the importance of their request.
Sally looked at me as if I had three heads. She sighed and said, “Why should I have to tell her? She should know. I was here so long I was becoming part of the woodwork.”
Hesitant to ASK what was in my mind, I bit the bullet. “Did your supervisor know that you wanted to be promoted, to move up the corporate ladder?”
