The coverage of the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear crisis is much better than the inane variety programs that are starting to come back on TV.

The US government is now asking citizens to move out of a 80km radius:

The United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), the Department of Energy and other technical experts in the U.S. Government have reviewed the scientific and technical information they have collected from assets in country, as well as what the Government of Japan has disseminated, in response to the deteriorating situation at the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant. Consistent with the NRC guidelines that apply to such a situation in the United States, we are recommending, as a precaution, that American citizens who live within 50 miles (80 kilometers) of the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant evacuate the area or to take shelter indoors if safe evacuation is not practical.

It might not have prevented the accident. However, if he had been riding single, both would be alive today, instead of just the boy.

Did I miss something? Where did they get their capital from? Daddy? They have a good business model/idea but any good idea requires capital.

Yeah, I think you missed this part- A landlord we knew was having trouble with unoccupied apartments in his building, and as an experiment, we helped him turn the rooms into a share house,” Arai says. “It turned out to be a big success. The owner introduced us to others, and they introduced us to more people, and — well, here we are.

5000 yen for a book that has information you can get from the internet? Some of the schools listed seemed like glorified eikaiwas. By the way, I wonder if Ms. Pover has model releases for all the children that are pictured in her book. I have a daughter in an international school and I would be quite upset if I saw her picture there.

50 yen? come on lady. cut the kid some slack. he was buying a book!

I don't think He wanted the 50 yen book. I think he wanted the 950 yen in change.
