Japan outlines plans to end nuclear crisis within 9 months

Good Morning, this is very good news Tokyo Electric Power (TEPCO) the Daiichi plant seems to be a really troublesome issue to repair. I was looking at the news and I needed a translator because I under estimated the problems facing your nation. I have noticed the needs of the victims some are shown using their vehicles to carry supplies such containers, did the citizens of this nuclear crisis want to be affected by the reactors? so many questions need to be asked but I will leave it for the journalist.

Me though in life's sequester'd vale

ME THOUGH in life's sequester'd vale



The Almighty Sire ordain'd to dwell,


Remote from glory's toilsome ways,


And the great scenes of public praise;


Yet let me still with grateful pride


Remember how my infant frame


He temper'd with prophetic flame,


And early music to my tongue supplied.






'Twas then my future fate he weigh'd,


And, this be thy concern, he said,


At once with Passion's keen alarms,


And Beauty's pleasurable charms,


And sacred Truth's eternal light,


To move the various mind of Man ;


Till, under one unblemish'd plan,


His Reason, Fancy, and his Heart unite.

No new PlayStation, Xbox until 2014?

Cnn - Best Buy will be adding "dedicated" games sales clerks as well as gaming desks to their retail outlets solely for the purpose of expanding their video games department.

In a presentation, Best Buy senior vice president Chris Homeister described the initiative as a "gaming transformation" and a "drive toward number one industry position" in the video games market.

According to company data, Best Buy is currently behind retailers GameStop and Walmart when it comes to revenue from the games department. By adding "dedicated, informed, and engaged employees focused only on gaming," Best Buy hopes to turn the tables.

The new dedicated employees will be responsible for pushing what Homeister calls a "virtuous cycle," encouraging consumers to preorder and purchase not only the retail games, but also "exclusive digital add-ons" that then add trade-in points that customers can use towards another pre-order or purchase. Although, unlike GameStop, these trade-in points can be used towards any line of product within Best Buy's catalog.

The new expanded game departments will mostly take advantage of the shrinking music department, allowing more space for better dedication to video games.
