Tokyo exodus nuke report's worst scenario | The Japan Times Online

Areas as far as 170 km away from the Fukushima nuclear plant faced the potential risk of being declared permanent evacuation zones, according to a worst-case scenario drawn up at the height of the crisis by the chief of the Japan Atomic Energy Commission.

The report, compiled March 25 at the request of then Prime Minister Naoto Kan, also said areas 250 km away — including central Tokyo — could have been tainted by radiation and require the government to assist those electing to voluntarily "migrate" away from the area.

Web no centro do poder

Eric Schmidt, o presidente executivo do Google, esteve em um evento do The Economic Club of Washington no início deste mês e falou sobre suas crenças em relação ao futuro, que pode ser fortalecido com a ajuda da tecnologia.

A internet, segundo ele, será o carro-chefe das transformações que estão prestes a atingir o mundo, já que proporciona mais transparência de informações e valores. "As coisas que [os EUA] podem trazer para o mundo realmente vão mudar muita coisa (...) e tirar as pessoas da pobreza financeira e da pobreza de informações", disse.

Para Schmidt, surgiram dois sistemas rivais por conta da web que explicam essas alterações: instituições offline (como governo, política e Justiça) e o ciberespaço. "Você pode pensar nisso como uma comunidade de cidadãos e uma comunidade de governos."

Porém, o desenvolvimento gradativo da tecnologia acaba servindo a ambas as comunidades. No caso do ciberespaço, sua função é manter os governos mais honestos. Do outro lado, o governo possui influência sobre as coisas negativas que acontecem no ciberespaço.

Google, Apple, Facebook e Amazon são, na sua visão, as quatro empresas donas de plataformas com maior potencial para encabeçar essa revolução - e que, na verdade, já estão fazendo isso.

Emerging economies will import more than the rich world in 2012

AN ENTERPRISING Englishman in the 1850s famously said that if he “could add an inch of material to every Chinaman’s shirt-tail, the mills of Lancashire could be kept busy for a generation.” Sadly, those mills have since turned to rust, but in the years to come selling to China and the world’s other emerging markets are expected to keep many Western firms busy for years to come. In 2012, an important new milestone will be reached when emerging-markets import more goods and services than the rich economies combined. That is a dramatic change since 2000, when they imported barely half as much as rich countries did. Policymakers will hope that the rapid growth in developing countries’ buying power will boost the profits of companies in rich economies over the coming

To Find Oil, You Have to Drill, Schlumberger

Measurement is key to understanding the science of drilling, and the only way to gain a complete picture of the drilling environment is to combine measurements coming from both downhole and surface sensors. The drilling fluid, which circulates down the drillstring before returning to surface, is an excellent source of information because it carries rock cuttings together with small quantities of formation fluids absorbed during the circulation process.
