On the Japan nuclear tip, somebody sent us this article, written by an MIT researcher named Josef Oehmen.
Josef Oehmen, an MIT scientist with some strong cred, says that the situation in Fukushima isn’t that big a deal. “There was and will *not* be any significant release of radioactivity,” he writes. “By ‘significant’ I mean a level of radiation of more than what you would receive on — say — a long distance flight, or drinking a glass of beer that comes from certain areas with high levels of natural background radiation.” He was also very critical of the mainstream media’s coverage of the disaster, going so far as to say some articles had errors in every paragraph (ouch!). Oehman wrote a lengthy piece — initially as a personal e-mail to members of his family — explaining exactly what is going on. Now, the first question, of course, is wether or not this guy is legit. He appears so. He has a Twitter. And a long list of research. Lots of people have read his explanation but it hasn’t been picked up by the mainstream press yet. (Will they pick it up?) Rather than summarize it, we feel you should read everything. It’s pretty well-explained. (thanks Benjamin Harrison) source

サッカーW杯2010 ベストイレブン
By Dominic Vieira, Writing from Portugal
It wasn’t easy selecting the best XI from the World Cup, especially because many players performed at such a high level. This squad plays under the 4-3-3 formation, the winning tactic used by the Spanish national team and its not a surprise that the team is dominated by them.
Casillas (Spain): The Spanish captain was a key player in the team, conceding 2 goals in 7 matches, defending a Paraguayan penalty and stopping Arjen Robben twice in the final. He was outstanding and a top performer, and it’s no wonder that Spaniards are now calling him San Iker!
Honourable mentions: Eduardo (Portugal), Stekelenburg (Netherlands)

フォルランはすごかったGermany may have defeated Uruguay 3-2 to claim their 3rd place medal, but am I the only one who thinks it is odd to celebrate claiming third place? The Germans have now finished 3rd twice in a row, so maybe they’re just content leaving the World Cup on a winning note. Regardless, Uruguay and Germany, you’ve both done brilliantly in 2010! Congratulations!
As for Diego Forlan, what a living legend. He has been the best player of the tournament for me. Captain class act.
Who has impressed you over the past month in South Africa? Besides Forlan…
