WOW, IT'S NEWS!? They already were listed as 40 year reactors and one of them was supposed to have been offline and the other going to mothballs within months. This new 'rule' changes nothing.

Great, so the farmers get to avoid all the polluted soil and radiation (that is good, no sarcasm there) and we get to eat the contaminated products grown on that contaminated land and harvested by the new technology. Sounds like a great plan IF YOU'RE INSANE!!!

They should open a factory in China to mass produce this glass at a competitive price
You're kidding right? That's just one of the reasons that Japan is in the crapper right now. Sending anything high tech with patents or not to China to be produced will only get your trade secrets ripped off...

Personally, I enjoy the odd "wardrobe malfunction" by the fairer sex as long as it's tasteful... That said, C'MON ladies you can't expect to be hotter than the sand on the beach in the middle of a sunny summer day without pushing the limits, right? A few times I was surprised by the fact that the hotties wearing the dental floss bottoms with her teeny weeny tops weren't grabbing their tops as they run down the beach to the water. Talk about waiting for it to happen and it only of matter of time. I'm sure there are some ladies that do this on purpose.

There are the idiots that run TEPCO, then there are these idiots protesting and then there is reality sandwiched somewhere out there but never heard. Listen closely and those voices were there long before this whole mess started March 11, 2011.

First off hang all the media idiots that scared the crap out of the entire planet and made ALL of Japan seem like a 'hot zone'. I was visiting the U.S., Canada and Spain back in April and when people asked where I was living they allof a sudden changed colour and seem to step back as if living in Tokyo made you ground zero glow in the dark toast.
More than 75% of people I spoke with seemed to think that all of Japan was a glow zone. Try to educate people first, work on the exchange rate/pricing deals and spend money making video commericals that show real Japan now in areas not affected by the March 11 earthquake/tsunami.
Posted in: Why do tourists continue to stay away from Japan, despite the fact that there are many places of interest far away from the crisis-affected areas? What should Japanese tourism officials do to promote Japan as a safe destination?

Interesting how they colour code the lifting hooks making one red, one blue, one yellow and one green. I figure that must be for the "lift angle adjustments" needed when picking up something huge which this crane was built to do. Hmmm, bait those hooks and catch some BIG FISHY!!!

Um, Japan is one BIG boiling pot of water, yet these idiots use other methods to boil water to make steam to spin a turbine to make power. Why not tap the tea kettle the country is sitting on to generate power?! Too simple and I'm sure much cheaper than current methods but I guess Japan Inc. wouldn't make nearly as much money so that must be the reason. Either that or onsans are the only use for hot water bubbling up from under Japan.

She looks more "westernize" than most north american asian girls I've seen. It looks like the term 'models' was VERY loosely used in this case.

About 30 to 60mins after eating most people will hit the wall energy wise and catching a 10 to 20min power nap does wonders but try and sell that to "Big Business Inc."

WilliB - when was the last time you had a look at the coastline of Japan? Do you have any clue what your uneducated suggestion would do to over 60% of the the Japanese population?! First by your suggestion Tokyo should be moved. Take a look at most of Tokyo and you'll see that it's all in a low lying area that would be underwater if that same big tsunami hit it today. Most of Osaka, Nagoya, Kobe, Yokohama, Chiba, etc., etc., etc., is in the same boat so to speak.

I was just in the U.S. and a litre of regular petrol was $1.18US, in Canada it was $1.47US and in Spain is was $1.94US so maybe Americans should shut the hell up, get rid of the SUVs, drop about 30-50% of their super sized arse and drive a normal sized vehicle only when the need it and not just to run down to Mc D's to get a snack that would feed a family of four outside of north america. The days of excess consumption are over and it's time that the greed that got us to where we are now is dealt with swiffly. Oh who am I kidding...

Well by the time you're 24 I guess you know it all so this must be the end result. Obviously, she didn't know it all and had she waited and thought about things years from now she would be shaking her head thinking that she ever thought about killing herself. BTW, this is what I have already heard from over a half dozen Japanese girls over the last few years. Sad state of affairs back then but at least they're alive and kicking now.

@ noriyosan73: Since when is a high school in the same 'for profit league' as this restaurant is which as spudman pointed is using the 'feel good vibe' by putting up a sign to draw customers in and make cash for his own pockets in the process? The two are quite different and good for the high school to have a fundraiser for Japan.
