A trivia game where using Google is allowed Posted: 11 Apr 2011 06:08 AM PDT Traditional trivia games have a rule that you can't cheat—you can't look things up in books, you can't ask your friends and you certainly can't ask Google. But what if there were a trivia game where you could not only ask Google, but were encouraged to do so? Imagine how difficult the questions would need to be with the power of the world's information at your fingertips. A Google a Day is a new daily puzzle that can be solved using your creativity and clever search skills on Google. Questions will be posted every day on agoogleaday.com and printed on weekdays above the New York Times crossword puzzle. We'll reveal each puzzle's answer the next day in the Times and on agoogleaday.com, along with the search tips and features used to find it. Just like traditional crossword puzzles, the difficulty of the questions increases over the course of the week, so by Thursday or Friday, even the most seasoned searcher may be stumped. To prevent spoilers from appearing as you search the web, look for the answers on agoogleaday.com instead of regular google.com—we've made a special version of Google that excludes real-time updates and other things that are likely to include spoilers as people post the answers to the puzzle online. Here's a sample question for you to try: As the world of information continues to explode, we hope A Google a Day triggers your imagination and helps you discover all the types of questions you can ask Google—and get an answer. Start playing A Google a Day now—visit agoogleaday.com or look for the puzzle in tomorrow's New York Times, just above the crossword.

Messages for Japan Posted: 10 Apr 2011 07:34 PM PDT One month ago, a massive 9.0 earthquake and one of the worst tsunamis in history struck northeastern Japan. Many people in the most impacted areas still have immediate needs for shelter and supplies, and we're continuing to help by maintaining the Crisis Response page and building tools and resources related to the disaster. Since the crisis, people around the world have sent countless messages of hope and support to the people of Japan. Some of them showed sympathy for the victims. Others encouraged us to look forward. Reading these messages—many of them in English—you can't help but feel the support coming from around the world. But we wished more people in Japan could hear from these supporters and feel that same sense of hope—even if the senders spoke another language. So we had an idea: a site where people around the world could input messages for Japan in their own languages and have them automatically translated into Japanese while raising funds to help Japan. And today, we're pleased to share messagesforjapan.com. On the site, you can submit messages and have them automatically translated to Japanese by Google Translate. Of course, people who speak Japanese can also post messages in Japanese if they'd like. You can see messages on the world map, browse them in their original language or in Japanese and donate to the rebuilding effort. We're planning to deliver some of these messages to people in Japan via offline media as well. In 1995, I was a volunteer in the disaster area following the Great Hanshin Earthquake in Kobe, Japan. After the craziness of first few weeks, I realized just how long it takes to recover from a disaster, and how important is it to rebuild not just the affected cities and towns but also people's spirits. With this recent crisis, there's no doubt that we have a long way to go. We hope that these messages from around the world will provide inspiration to the people of Japan as we face this challenge, and that the donations raised through this site and others will help the country on its road to rebuilding. A final note: Donations raised via the Crisis Response page have exceeded five million dollars so far. We truly appreciate your contributions and thank you for your continued support.

Japanese Crisis Is a Catalyst for Technology Profits

The Penny Sleuth Features: Penny Stocks, Options and High-Growth Opportunities! Japanese Crisis Is a Catalyst for Technology Profits By Ray Blanco April 11, 2011 Dear Penny Sleuther, Japan is still reeling from the major natural disaster that struck a couple weeks ago. Over the few weeks, the news media and blogs have been full of images and videos showing massive damage sustained by towns in northern Japan. It is truly painful to watch. One of the major difficulties stemming from the earthquake/tsunami, as you know, has been damage to several nuclear reactors in the vicinity of the disaster at the Fukushima power plant. The plant’s emergency backup systems seem to have functioned properly after the earthquake. The reactors immediately shut down, and backup diesel electrical generators began supplying power to the coolant pumps. WARNING: This is Controversial. It Offends “Gloom and Doomers” Here’s why it’s NOT the end of America... Shocking new presentation reveals epic opportunities — viewer discretion advised for thin-skinned fear mongers. Watch the presentation right here... The tsunami that followed, however, damaged the diesel generators, and the result is that the reactors themselves have begun to overheat. Emergency measures are under way to cool the reactors, but the immediate vicinity has become dangerously radioactive for human beings. The Japanese are robotics experts. We need to develop better robots to cope with these kinds of situations. I grew up, by the way, only a few miles away from a nuclear reactor. The fact is, in terms of lives lost, nuclear is far safer than other sources such as coal. Coal plants actually put more radioactive material into the environment than nuclear ones. Growing up, the only thing I remember anybody worrying about was the possibility of Fidel Castro sending a surprise strike from Cuba against the reactors. His supersonic Russian fighters are only a few minutes away from Florida, and Cuban pilots have been able to defect to U.S. airports without detection. Right now, one of the greatest threats in Japan seems to be related to cooling ponds storing spent nuclear fuel rods at the site of the plant. These ponds are reported to be draining, and the spent rods are overheating. Like the U.S., Japan seems to prefer storing nuclear waste on-site. Looking at how an adverse reactor event can cause problems for waste fuel storage, this is a big mistake. Simply storing nuclear waste may not be the best policy. If spent fuel rods are reprocessed, they can be used as fuel in next-generation nuclear reactors. Thorium-based fuel rods, for example, can use a “seed and blanket” design. Wastes such as plutonium are incorporated into the “seed” at the center of the rod. Burning these wastes as fuel reduces the really bad radioactive elements to a fraction of what they were originally. Of course, you also get plenty of electricity in the process. Wealth Revelations: Historic Profit Potential from Just-Released Research The blind will see again. The sick will be healthy again. Four tiny companies could make these miracles a reality. For a chance at the biggest possible profits — you must read this shocking report immediately. There isn’t much time for you to act... Boiling water uranium reactors like those at Fukushima require constant cooling to prevent meltdown. However, newer designs based around thorium fuels do not need water to prevent meltdown. They require water to sustain the reaction. Remove the water coolant, and the fission reaction ceases. The reason for this is because of the speed of the neutrons produced by the radioactive decay of the nuclear fuel. In these newer designs, water is needed to slow the neutrons down enough for them to be able to sustain a fission reaction. Without water, the neutrons are moving too fast to split atoms. My understanding is that the first reactor to experience severe problems after the tsunami was scheduled to be taken off line two weeks after the date of the quake. If the earthquake had occurred a few weeks later, events would have been different. Two other elderly reactors at the plant had already been shut down when the disaster struck. The Fukushima plant uses early-generation reactors that are over 40 years old. The reactors were designed to withstand an 8.2 magnitude earthquake. The Tohoku earthquake, however, was a 9 on the Richter scale, and was shortly followed by a tsunami. The fact that these ancient designs have held up so well under such unimaginably catastrophic conditions actually demonstrates that nuclear technology is safe.

Plus, act before the deadline and claim 5 reports absolutely FREE. Click here now to watch the presentation. We need to upgrade our reactors here in the U.S. as well. More than half of our reactors are over 50 years old. They need to be replaced with newer, safer designs. However, we are already seeing news stories about the events in Japan killing the so-called “nuclear renaissance” in the U.S. Germany has preemptively shut down many older reactors. It seems politically unlikely that we will be rolling out next-generation nuclear power here anytime soon… which I think is irrational. Of course, this means we will turn to other sources for electricity. In a domestic environment in which new nuclear plants are not likely to be built, I suspect we will see increased use of wind turbine electricity generation. China is planning massive growth in wind turbine installations. And, in the wake of the Fukushima meltdown, it is possible that Japan will grow domestic power generation with wind technology as well. This is an investment opportunity you don’t want to miss.
