Many children regressed after vaccinations, or they got very sick with high temperature and showed autism symptoms afterward.
Parents asked numerous times to have this researched as they mourn the loss of their children. Not because they died, but they are lost in their own little world, and nothing can get through them.
The answers were always the same. CDC did all the investigations and the result is the same. vaccines are safe and it does not cause autism.
So why is that so many children have autism? What causes it? Why so many parents claim the same story, "after vaccination my child never been the same?" Independent researchers showed the link between increased vaccination aligned with increased autism, but they were told that they are wrong.
Now, I am not saying that vaccination is wrong, we had vaccines before, but much less occurrence of autism. As a medical professional I always swore by preventing diseases, but not in a cost of my child's health, don't use my child as a guinea pig. There are many professionals who called for a new vaccination schedule to help the Child's immune system really form on its own before it is bombarded with all the vaccines.
They were all silenced, mocked, and some had their license removed. Parents had to resort to refuse vaccination risking of CPS getting involved, state gain custody of their child, or had to lie and ask for religious exemption. Parents with children who regressed were on their own. Either way, children and parents suffered and suffering as we speak from all the stress, physical and mental health problems that vaccine injure caused.
This debate about vaccine injury is going on for years, particularly the MMR vaccine. As I always said the truth will come out one way or another, sooner or later. Well it finally came later, many years later and tens and thousands of autistic children later, Dr. Thompson Senior Scientist of National Center of Birth Defects and Development Disabilities reveled how they buried information that support the theory of the link between MMR and autism rate. According CNN ireport "Dr. Thompson has admitted the 340% increase in boys receiving the MMR vaccine "on time" as opposed to delayed was buried by himself, Dr. DeStefano, Dr. Bhasin, Dr. Yeargin-Allsopp, and Dr. Boyle."
Listen to the following recording regards to his admittance of his wrong doing. You may fast forward to the beginning of the 2 minute, 45 second. As I am writing this article I am still not convinced that the link will be working when you click on it, as they always take down important revealing videos like this to protect the CDC's image. To be honest in my eyes as much good they did I still don't trust them anymore, and I know many others feel the same way.
Again I want to press the issue here to those who sometimes don't ponder on what they read and jump into conclusion. This article is not about not vaccinating your child, it is rather shedding light on some corrupt professionals who keep the dollar signs in front of their eyes not the well-being of humanity.
Here is the link for CNN ireport, and the for the vimeo recording where Dr. Thompson revealed his wrongdoings.
Disturbing is an understatement. I just wonder how this will be swept under the rug, how it will be explained, what mental illness Dr Thomas has to say such a thing.
I wonder how these professionals can sleep at night knowing to wreak havoc millions of lives with a life long disability.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) – Voters who don't have a valid photo ID to use in Alabama's elections can get one free at county board of registrars' offices.
Alabama's chief election official, Secretary of State Jim Bennett, says registrars' offices in every county will be offering the free IDs, starting this week.
Alabama's new law requiring a valid photo ID to vote takes effect with the primary election June 3. Many types of photo IDs can be used, including an Alabama driver's license, Alabama non-driver ID, state-issued ID, federal ID, passport, Alabama college ID, military ID and employee ID from a federal, state, county or city government.
Those without a proper ID can get one free by going to a registrars' office with documents showing their full legal name, date of birth and address.

Basketball, Football | featured, King James, LeBron James, lockout, Miami Dolphins, Miami Heat, NBA, nfl, Panini America | Comments (14)
By Andrew Tolentino | Football Editor
"Former NBA star LeBron James leads a Miami Dolphins dream team to a stunning Super Bowl loss."
Wouldn't that sentence be so poetically sublime for the throngs of King James critics out there?
Hate him or love him, one of basketball's biggest names is making recent headlines for publicly flirting with the idea of playing in the NFL — one league that managed to resolve its lockout in a timely fashion.
In the interest of speculation and downright fun, Panini America definitely went there with a pair of theoretical Rookie Cards.
In all likelihood, these cards won't be appearing in the company's forthcoming 2011 Absolute Memorabilia and 2011 Certified brands (the design templates, respectively used for the cards). But if they did, collectors could expect to pay somewhere between $500 – $1,000 for each hypothetical hit, according to Beckett Senior Market Analyst Rob Springs.
Until we hear anything else, we'll keep dreaming (and hoping for more LeBron football card mock-ups to come).
How much do you think one of James' autographed football Rookie Cards would go for?
View Results
Would you chase a LeBron James NFL Rookie Card?
Its funny they say these cards will not be made, but those autographs look pretty convincing that those are already real cards.
dude!!! What??? that would be awesome if lebron played football I would collect all his football cards.
Don't get your hopes up … LeBron is an Upper Deck-exclusive signer.
can he afford, to pay for 100+ football "bodyguards" to tail him on his every move…like he had when that ancient & extinct league called the NBA (and how awkward is that…..tailing you into the restroom) ?
ps…..coming soon-bathroom tiles from your favorite ballplayer and their facilitys they frequented
awwwww…….Upper Deck, I remember when they had liscenses in all four major sports- I hope todays youth can learn; that "when Icarus got greedy & flew too close to the sun"
This whole subject doesn't make and sense, but if folks wants to waste their money on this then go ahead. I have lost total respect to Upper Deck and what they try to do to MLB. Unless it's a 1989 factory complete set and sealed, I'm not interested.
I don't see this happening. Besides, if he's true to form, he'd only disappear in the forth quarter anyway.
Its the same exact auto in each Larry.
those cards look awesome, be nice to have a Miami Heat card autographed by Lebron, hey lets try that first, he actually plays for them…..
I would try to get one, he would probably make a awesome receiver
Would have been more interesting seeing him in a Browns or Bengals uniform…….D'OHHHHH
i'd chase it only if it wasn't a redemption…i'm still waiting on a sidney crosby auto from them since December 2010.

Hey. So, I guess I should say who or what I am, right? Well, allegedly I am a 27 year old human being from 21th century Europe, Earth, Local Bubble, Orion Spiral Arm, Milky Way, Local Group, Virgo Supercluster, E�. I am currently a grad student, and I am having a blast so far! I especially like that it allows me to travel the world, listen to interesting talks by interesting people, and occasionally even give my own contributions :) EDIT: I now graduated from my doctorate programme. When I am not working on some ridiculously close research deadline, I spend way too much time on the TV Tropes forums. Other than that, I spend my free time cooking, reading narrative (science fiction and/or fantasy, mostly), working on small coding projects I always get bored of before they are finished, reading scientific trivia, jogging or sleeping. I like sleeping. I watch no TV at all, but I read far too many webcomics for my own good. Tropes that might apply to me:

Reviews & Ratings
Featured review from AvivaRed Velvet
view more less of this review
"Abigail's Party" should be called "Beverly's Creepy Party". Abigail, who we never see, is the 15 year old daughter of Susan, one of the three guests at the party where the play is set. Susan is at Beverly's because Abigail threw her out of her house to have her own party with her teenaged friends. Beverly is the domineering wife of Lawrence, and the hostess of the party at which we watch five middle class Britons in the mid 1970s get progressively drunker. "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" came to mind as we watched the ugly underbelly of Beverly and Lawrence's marriage become exposed.
Overall, I liked the play, found it humorous at times, but Beverly grated on my nerves, as she was meant to do. All five actors were excellent, however it is hard for me to watch a play in which the predominant character is so irritating. The ending was disappointing, and left me flat.

The acting was wonderful....the play is not. Sorry....
star this review starred report as inappropriate
While an odd play, it kept me intrigued, and wondering just where this story line was going... I found the actors top notch. Great character studies. A dark comedy, with an off the wall ending. I would recommend seeing this show.
star this review starred report as inappropriate
Abigail's Party was simply awful...no story, shrill uninteresting characters and a theater full of cigarette smoke. We counted the minutes until the intermission when we could leave.
Definitely not worth the price of driving to the theater.
Quotes & Highlights
"Mike Leigh's 1977 comedy is a nasty piece of working-class misanthropy featuring characters who are detestable yet richly complicated… it effectively captures Leigh's perceptive insights into the lives of ordinary people." —Los Angeles Times (Critic's Choice)
"Director Julian Holloway has an impeccable flair for comedy and sly inventive touches in both action and vocal expression that wring every ounce of humor from Leigh's everyday language… (an) excellent cast." —CurtainUp
Don't you hate those awkward social situations? You know, those ones when you're smiling through gritted teeth, eyeing up all the best escape routes and fabricating some far-fetched excuse to leave. Join Beverly and her husband Laurence, Angela, her husband Tony, and Sue for Abigail's Party.

Brown saves 1 mil on CAP.....
Hey, there we go, we did something
Patriots.com has it up as well:
I agree....2 good moves by the way.
Neal resigning maybe?
hhhmmmm we cut a guard and free up some cash...
What about Poole? Still on the roster?
I think that they have until tomorrow or Wed to cut Poole and save $1.5 on the cap. Once 3/15 is gone thay will have to pay him another $500,000+
That surprises me too! Does BB think he is going to be productive this year or is he going to trade him for a cache of 7th round draft picks??
I would rather see Willie back...Brown was a waste..when the he!! are they going to cut Poole ?
I know thats right bring back a player that produces and Willie ceratinly does that.
Brown had a 200K roster bonus due according to Miguel. So if the Pats doubted that he would make it onto the 53 man roster, they would cut him before the roster bonus was due.
Beisel, for example, does not have a roster bonus so if there is any chance (I think NONE) that he can make the 53 man roster, the Pats can cut him anytime it is convenient for them.
Chad played hard filling in outside his normal position, sorry it didn't work out.
Krug must have let himself go and turned up out of shape as the players start returning for the off-season program. I got the impression he was doing well when the Pats kept bringing him back to the Practice Squad.
Separate names with a comma.

Editorial reviews
What a marvellous book - funny, accessible and inspirational. This may come as no suprise bearing in mind how many people have been captivated by award-winning Blake's wickedly comic illustrating style which has for so long graced the pages of Roald Dahl titles, to the extent that they seem almost inconceivable without them. The 'artistically undiscovered' will thrill to hear the author's advocation of the Gung-Ho approach, his urge to express your 'you-ness' and capture the spirit of things on paper. From drawing spectacles and emotional rabbits to creating a 3-Headed Red-Spotted Gorff (whatever that is) and dealing with human anatomy, Blake's quirky guide will have you scribbling away in glee. There is plenty of space on each page for your own work, suggestion piles to get you going and even some space for you to fill in negative comments about the products. Includes two watercolour pencils (one black, one red) which smudge when wetted and a black ink sketch pen. Flying elephants? No problem! (Kirkus UK)

Cole Porter had the best ear in the history of American music. I'm not referring to his perfect pitch, which was only part of an innate musical talent that was the talk of Peru, Indiana, by the time he was ten and already turning out songs for friends and family. More important, he heard America singing, and talking, even when he was glamorously expatriated in Venetian palaces, Riviera chateaux, and South Seas luxury hideaways. Porter's swank settings, distant from the sources of American song, made his music chic, chichi, risqué, and artificial—and also, oddly, American. Whether abroad or at home, Porter was an acute observer. His songs are subtly distorting mirrors, parodies that isolate and intensify the rhythms of American speech along with its sexual subtexts.
Thanks to the new film biography De-lovely, this summer's air will most likely be filled with Porter's tunes—and what better music to listen to while sipping cocktails poolside? Porter's songs automatically put you in an imaginary musical of your own making. They are totally theatrical, complete with stage set and props. Tropical moons, swaying palms, winter-chilled stars, cozy fireplaces—pure pasteboard façades. The wonder, though, is the way Porter convinces us that the obviously artificial paradise is emotionally real. His songs are often as down-to-earth and all-American as those of his two favorite writers, Irving Berlin and George M. Cohan.
As a songwriter, Porter was anything but the smart-set dilettante he appeared to be, but keeping up appearances counted for a lot in his world. Every photograph shows him in tasteful surroundings, impeccably dressed and groomed, with never a hint of the chronic pain that resulted from a riding accident in 1937. In New York he lived in a suite at the Waldorf-Astoria decorated by Billy Baldwin. We might assume that Porter was equally guarded about his sex life, but his homosexuality was an open secret, and his lyrics (in, for example, "You're the Top" or "I've Got You Under My Skin") were full of not very hidden double meanings—touches of "lavender," as he put it. The real secret life was the creative one.
Biographies have little to say about Porter's musical training, although his study of English literature and music at Yale obviously served him very well both socially and musically. His still popular football songs ("Bulldog," "Bingo Eli Yale") earned him a place in Scroll and Key, a top secret society. Later he took some music courses at Harvard and at the Schola Cantorum, in Paris. Unlike Irving Berlin, but like George Gershwin and Richard Rodgers, Porter had classical musical training, though he did not call attention to it. His one foray into a classical form was the ballet Within the Quota, with sets and costumes designed by his friend Gerald Murphy. It was first performed in Paris in 1923, sharing the program with Darius Milhaud's pioneering jazz ballet La Création du monde. Porter's score was well reviewed and then forgotten, until recently. It is stylish but lacks the strong melodic profile of Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, which appeared a few months later. Porter, however, never developed his classical side; in a sense he never really developed at all. The songs he wrote from the late 1920s to the mid-1950s share a style and approach. Working alone on both words and music, Porter never had to broaden his stylistic scope the way, for instance, Richard Rodgers did when he began to work with Oscar Hammerstein.
When Porter finally had a success in New York, in 1928, critics and his fellow songwriters were surprised by two things: his style was unique, and yet despite his decade of transatlantic life it sounded perfectly at home on Broadway. Hosting extravagant parties in Venice during the twenties (on his grandfather's dime) was apparently an effective way to continue Porter's musical education. His lyrics were as sly and knowing as Lorenz Hart's; his rhythms were as hot as Gershwin's.
Porter's first Broadway hit song was "Let's Do It," an endless catalogue of zoological promiscuity (some critics called it a "habits of rabbits" song) that captured the "just say yes" spirit of the twenties. Its musical sophistication matched its verbal aplomb. Porter had immediately broken some of the basic rules of American popular-song writing. Though you hardly notice it, the melody, beginning with its hook, is highly chromatic, and the harmony constantly mixes the major and minor modes in a way surprisingly reminiscent of Schumann or Brahms. It sounds like a simple tune—but try finding the notes and chords on the piano.
Like other Broadway songwriters, Porter specialized in particular genres, most famously multiple-stanza list songs ("You're the Top," "Anything Goes") and smoldering, Latin-grooved romantic ballads ("Night and Day," "Begin the Beguine," "I Love You"). Other Porter specialties were songs that told dramatic or long stories ("Miss Otis Regrets," "Katie Went to Haiti") and simple swingers—such as "All of You" and "Just One of Those Things"—that quickly became jazz standards. But I think the defining Porter genre, which includes all the others, is the pastiche.
To parody a song, you have to listen to it with x-ray ears. You can tell that Porter was listening even when he appeared to be partying, and in particular he studied his rivals. Virtually the only untitled guests he entertained in Venice or Paris during the 1920s were other musicians: Berlin, Rodgers and Hart, and the Gershwins. (He also invited, as an entertainer rather than a guest, the black singer Bricktop.) Even while on the far side of the Atlantic, Porter kept abreast of the latest developments on Broadway. So it's no accident that "Anything Goes" (1934) sounds like "Puttin' On the Ritz," which Irving Berlin wrote in 1929. This is not to say that Porter was derivative; each of his pastiches still sounds like a Porter song and only a Porter song.

BEST Questions TO ASK during interview
- 1Aug 20, '13 by procrastinator911Hi All,
I have a few interviews coming up and I always stumble with questions to ask. I have a few questions in mind, but I want those questions that really grab a recruiters attention.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!! Thanks!!!
- 2Aug 21, '13 by jfratian, BSN, RN1. Basics: scheduling (self or based on seniority), call requirements, weekend requirements
2. What are the most common procedures/diagnoses/populations your unit sees?
3. What kind of continuing education does your hospital offer? Is there a nursing education department that offers things like PALS, ACLS, NRP, TNCC, etc?
- 3Aug 21, '13 by elkparkI always ask about opportunities and support for continuing education, and I always ask to speak (privately) with current staff in the same or similar roles in the same unit/setting. That's when you find out what life is really like working in that setting for that organization. "Good" organizations will be happy to set that up for you; if a potential employer balks at letting you talk to current staff, I consider that a big "red flag."
- 0Aug 21, '13 by GrnTea, BSN, MSN, RNYou are thinking about this backwards. You want to ask questions that you need answered, not questions that get the interviewer's attention. Heck, if you want to get his/her attention, ask if there's a nearby tattoo parlor, and do they contribute to the cost for some ink if it includes the hospital logo. (NOT) (Just checking)
If you are new to nursing, you might not know yet what's important to know, because a lot of that you find out after you've been a working nurse employee for awhile. But you might be curious to know what educational supports are built into orientation to help you be the best new grad you can be. Elkpark has mentioned this; I just caution that you don't want to start asking about "How many CEUs do you pay for in a year?" because that sounds grabby; you're aiming for communicating that you want to learn while working for them, for their benefit.
Also like the idea of speaking to someone in the role now. Perhaps you could ask one or two when you tour the unit when they get off for lunch and meet in the cafeteria.
- 1Aug 21, '13 by elkparkQuote from GrnTeaExactly -- I never phrase in terms of "So, how much do you pay for continuing ed?" The idea is to convey to the interviewer that you are someone who is seriously interested and involved in continuing professional growth/development and, at the same time, getting some feel for how committed the potential employer is to supporting the professional growth of its employees.Elkpark has mentioned this; I just caution that you don't want to start asking about "How many CEUs do you pay for in a year?" because that sounds grabby; you're aiming for communicating that you want to learn while working for them, for their benefit.
- 0Aug 21, '13 by yemenirnAside from all the basic questions which have already been mentioned, I like to ask about the relationships between staff and between nurses and doctors. What is the personality of the physicians? Some hospital treat physicians as the end all be all, and so they can talk to nurses any which way, which is usually down, without any consequences. Asking this question shows that you value respect and see professional peer relationships as important in a good work environment.
- 1Aug 21, '13 by SunnyMindRN"What is the nurse patient ratio?" and "What does the orientation entail?"
- 0Aug 21, '13 by SunflowerinscI wouldn't ask about scheduling as the first question.
- 13Aug 21, '13 by Stcroix, PhD, RNLong ago when I was doing the hiring a young man asked me this: "Let's pretend you hire me and at my first annual review you explained to me you were very happy with my performance. What had I accomplished to get that review?"
This question impressed the heck out of me and I never forgot. I actually used that line once and my interviewer was impressed too, and I was hired.
- 0Aug 21, '13 by ~*Stargazer*~I typically don't ask a lot of questions at an interview. I let the interviewer take the lead. Usually they'll start out explaining what the position entails, then launch into a bunch of canned questions that they're required to ask by the agency they work for. After that, they'll ask me if I have any questions. I'll ask about what the orientation process looks like, whether scrubs are provided or if we buy our own, or in the case of a per diem position, what kind of time commitment the manager is hoping for (2 shifts a week, 4 shifts a month, etc.).
Usually the interviewer has already made up their mind if they want to hire me or not by the time they get to the point of asking me if I have any questions. They're judging by my answers to their questions as well as my nonverbal communication. Do they feel I'm being honest with them? Do they feel I'm really interested in this position? Do they feel I "get" the core values of the organization? Do I seem confident and competent without coming off as cocky? Will I be a good fit within their unit? They figure all of this out within the first few minutes of the interview.

Each one of us starts Karate with some particular reason: to be a good fighter, to keep in good shape, to protect oneself. I wanted to become very strong myself when I first began.

Therefore, all SKA members must be strong inwardly but quite gentle to others.

Saturday marks a day in history for extreme heat
Published On: Aug 02 2013 09:19:39 PM CDT
If you think it's been hot lately, just think back to this time last year. It was worse.
In fact, one year ago Saturday, Oklahoma City set two heat records. On Aug. 3, 2012, the city reached 113 degrees, breaking the high temperature record. The 113-degree reading also marked the hottest ever recorded in Oklahoma City.
August was a month of wildfires, too. Luckily, we haven't had to deal with that this year due to increased dewpoints and abundant rainfall.
Granted, the heat indices will be in the triple digits this weekend. At least it won't be well over 100 degrees.

Instructors in this chapter can also show you the processes involved in creating genetically modified organisms (GMOs) through video lessons and transcripts on the following topics:
- DNA plasmids
- Restriction enzymes
- Ligase and recombinant DNA
Whether you'd like to review basic genetic engineering topics or get an introduction to this field of study, lessons can be accessed individually in whichever order you please. Instructional material is available in the form of illustrated lesson transcripts and short, engaging videos lasting five to ten minutes each. Self-guided, multiple-choice questions are also included to help you assess your grasp of the lesson's main ideas and terminology.
GED: Genetic Engineering Basics - Chapter Objectives
Lessons in this chapter are designed to teach you about such concepts as host organisms, vectors, plasmids, recognition sequences and sticky ends so you can answer genetics questions on the GED exam's science portion. These types of life science questions make up about 40% of this section's content and are formatted as short answer, hot spot, fill-in-the-blank, matching and multiple-choice questions.
Your scores on the science portion of the test, as well as the mathematical reasoning, social science and language arts sections, will be used to determine your academic preparedness for a high school equivalency diploma, an essential component in the application process for jobs or postsecondary training programs.
How do we make the insulin used by diabetic patients? In this lesson, you'll learn the basics of how genetic engineering can be used to transform a bacterial host cell into a genetically-modified organism that produces human insulin.
DNA plasmids play an integral part in most genetic engineering experiments. In this lesson, you'll learn about key features of a plasmid, such as a multiple cloning site, an origin of replication, and a selectable marker.
Restriction enzymes played a critical role in the advent of genetic engineering. In this lesson, you will learn what role restriction enzymes play in creating recombinant DNA.
DNA ligase makes recombinant DNA technology possible. In this lesson, you will learn how new versions of genes can be designed for experiments in novel host organisms using DNA ligase.

|I want to thank School Committee member Antonette Pepe for planning and hosting an informational meeting to explain the Comprehensive Reproductive Health Policy (CRHP), and also thank Barbara Gresham for her attendance and concern. Thanks must also be given to our superintendent, mayor and commissioner of Public Health for their discussion concerning this issue and its impact.
Dr. McAdoo, chair of the Springfield Adolescent Sexual Health Advisory Council (SASHA) presented a well documented overview of the issue which will result in the availability of condoms to students attending our middle and high schools, ages 12 to 17.
Although the meeting was great, it was too little and too late for concerned parents. The meeting was hastily scheduled, ill-advertised and emplaced at a time and site difficult for parents with children to attend. At the meeting, Dr. McAdoo stated one CRHP forum was held in January, and all SPS district parents were notified and asked to attend. She stated one-hundred parents and caregivers attended this forum and from this, 54 responded to a teen sexual health survey. This survey was used as a basis for the condom availability policy. (Massachusetts Public Health data was introduced as a source for this policy as well as case studies and data from other cities.)
Fifty-four is not representative of a school district in which 26,000 students attend.
What I fail to understand is the School Committee's urgency to implement this policy without fully vetting this hot-button social issue throughout the community; to allow for greater community input, testimony and concern. Most especially, among parents of younger children who are in or entering the middle schools, and that of children under the age of consent.
I disagree with making condoms available to students as young as 12 years old in our public schools. I asked both school committee members present to call for a postponement of this binding vote scheduled for April 5. Both declined.
I now publicly ask the School Committee as a whole to table this vote to allow for greater input from our community and concerned parents. I ask the school committee to host a meeting in a larger venue and with greater advertisement and notification to all parents and citizens in the city. I ask the School Committee to wait, listen and allow for greater public input. The school committee has hosted several public meetings to discuss the hiring of a new superintendent; so I ask for the same courtesy with regard to this issue.

Chinese leaders know that, with Europe and the U.S. struggling, they can't rely on exports forever. China's future may hinge on whether its leaders can make the necessary changes in time.
A 1979 poster promotes China's steel industry / AP
"I want to remind those cadres who are staying on the job beyond me: my biggest worry right now is an overheating economy," Chinese Premier Zhu Rongji said in a January 2003 cabinet meeting, his last before leaving office. "I've already worried about this for a year now. I wouldn't say this publicly, but only bring it up to the top leadership, that overheating is the one thing that preoccupies my mind. Many signs seem to have emerged, and if we're not vigilant, the economic situation will be difficult to rein in." Zhu's comments, recently published for the first time, are translated to English here.
The next premier, Wen Jiabao, warned in 2007 that China's economic model of skyrocketing export-based growth was "unstable, unbalanced, uncoordinated and ultimately unsustainable." Fortunately, he and his government seem to know how to fix it. But the question isn't whether China's economy can accommodate the necessary changes. It almost certainly can. The big question is whether China's political system can accommodate those changes. If it can't, Chinese citizens may begin to more aggressively question the Communist Party's model of rule, which delivers tremendous economic growth at the cost of political and human rights.
When they issued their calls for change, neither Zhu nor Wen could have possibly foreseen the financial crises that have crippled the U.S. and European economies. Though China's leaders have long planned to change the country's economic model -- which is also at the heart of its political model -- these crises mean that China must accelerate its plan to restructure its economy. Right now, China's economy is based on exporting to wealthy, developed countries. For that export-driven system to work, China's economy needs to remain weaker than those of its buyers. One of the biggest reasons that China sells so much stuff is because it can produce that stuff cheaply. But as China's growth accelerates and European and American growth slows due to financial crises, China is catching up with the developed economies faster than anyone had anticipated. If and when China gets too wealthy to continue exporting cheap products -- or if the developed economies become too weak to keep buying them -- it will be in big trouble.
China will have to shift its economic emphasis from exports -- driven by state-run industrial enterprises -- to individual households. This means moving wealth from the state and state-run companies to Chinese households, which would then drive China's continued growth. This is feasible -- China has nearly 1.5 billion consumers, after all, an increasing number of whom are entering the middle class, where they will be willing and able to power the economy. This wouldn't be so different from how the U.S. economy became the largest in the world: our consumer base is big, rich, and it loves to shop.
"It's true that Chinese authorities are hotly discussing how and whether they can move away from the export-dependent model of development," colleague James Fallows wrote in an email when I asked him about how China was handling the worsening European crises. "But this has been the main topic of discussion for at least three years, and the real question is whether they can do so, and how, and over what period of time. For outsiders the real question is whether there is anything the rest of the world can do to hasten the process."
The timeline for how quickly China needs to restructure its economy appears to be shortening, and not just because of the ever-expanding European debt crises. Housing authorities just capped real estate prices in a second city to try and prevent a housing bubble, informal lending markets are booming, export growth is already slowing ahead of expectations, and the gap between mainland China's managed currency rate and Hong Kong's floating currency rate is expanding. China doesn't appear to be anywhere near financial calamity or anything like it, but the urgency for China to change its economic model is increasing.
The changes that China's leadership knows it needs aren't just about making Chinese households better off and finding a way to responsibly manage overall growth. They're about maintaining the very stability of the Chinese system. In a democracy, if people feel their government has failed them then they can vote that government out of office. But in an autocracy like China's, popular discontent can be more dangerous. Demonstrations, some of them violent, have already broken out in a number of interior cities this year. Last month, a young man lit himself on fire in Tienanmen Square, an eery echo of the self-immolation that set off Tunisia's revolution in December.
China has remained largely stable since 1989 for a number of reasons, perhaps the most important of which are its ever-rising economy (which gives Chinese good reason to be happy with their government) and, to a lesser extent, China's ability to prevent and stifle dissent. It's a carrot-and-stick approach. But the Chinese government knows it can't maintain power through censorship, propaganda, and riot police alone. They need to keep growing to keep Chinese citizens happy, but they also need to slow that growth down to keep the economy healthy in the long-term.

(Updates with closing share price in second paragraph.)
Oct. 25 (Bloomberg) -- Elbit Imaging Ltd. surged the most since January 2009 after the investor in real estate and medical companies said it repurchased 67.6 million shekels ($18.5 million) of bonds under a buyback program started in May.
The shares jumped 16 percent to 12.90 shekels at the 4:30 p.m. close in Tel Aviv. The stock has soared 36 percent this week, giving the Tel Aviv-based company a market value of 329 million shekels.
The repurchases "indicate the faith of the company in its bonds," Amir Arad, an analyst at Excellence Nessuah Investments Ltd. in Ramat Gan, Israel, said by telephone.
The shares have tumbled 63 percent since Calcalist reported on May 23 that controlling shareholder Mordechay Zisser was having problems making debt payments. Globes reported today that Zisser has met with institutional investors in the company in recent days.
Elbit declined to comment in a statement read by phone.
