"
(5) Enhanced measures for seismic and tide level observation systems
During this earthquake, the records of acceleration time history at some NPSs were not fully
secured, being cut off after approximately for 130 to 150 seconds. Functional failures in NPS
seismic observation systems were also found in the Chuetsu-Oki Earthquake, and therefore,
an in-depth study should have been done into maintaining the functions of the systems...."

TOKYO, Aug. 8, Kyodo
Finance Minister Yoshihiko Noda has decided to run in the next presidential election of the Democratic Party of Japan, possibly to take place this summer, in an attempt to succeed Prime Minister Naoto Kan, sources close to the minister said Monday.
Noda, who took over from Kan as finance minister in June last year, is known as a proponent of raising taxes to restore Japan's tattered public finances.
The 54-year-old will signal his readiness to run in the DPJ leadership race during a meeting on Tuesday of the intraparty group he heads, the sources said.

- Kan: Japan to play significant role at UN meeting
Japan's Prime Minister Naoto Kan has said his government will contribute fully to a UN meeting on nuclear power next month.
Kan made the remarks at a meeting with UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon in Tokyo on Monday. The UN chief visited disaster-hit Fukushima Prefecture earlier in the day.
Ban expressed his sympathy to the victims and survivors of the March disaster, and added that he wishes them an early recovery.
The UN chief asked Japan to share what it learned from the nuclear accident at the Fukushima plant in discussions on nuclear safety standards in a summit-level meeting scheduled to be held in New York on September 22nd.
Ban said he hopes that Japan will send a representative to the meeting.
Kan told the UN chief that he appreciated his visit to the affected areas, and thanked him for his warm words.
Kan also said that his country will participate in the planned high-level meeting and make a maximum contribution. But he stopped short of declaring whether he himself will attend.
In June, Kan said he will step down once he fulfills his role in handling issues related to the March 11th earthquake and Fukushima nuclear accident.

Scaremongering about food riots in Japan. None of the sources he quoted said anything of the kind. Gah!
blog.alexanderhiggins.comby lillymunster 8/8/2011 7:08:27 PM - lilly .. that's a shameful thing to do.. what's in it for HIGGINSby dean 8/8/2011 7:10:30 PM
- to what benefit is it to be posting about rioting on food in Japan ... that is my post to himby dean 8/8/2011 7:12:41 PM
- Money and attention. He is trying very hard to monetize his site. He also started a second site that has a slight resemblance to ours pretending to be a group run site but he is the only one there. Of course it is asking for donations as does his blog. He gets money for every ad his main site displays plus whatever he manages to sell through his survivalist supplies. I think he thinks it will bring him web development business because he can claim all this traffic. He gets traffic by making things up that scare people.
by lillymunster 8/8/2011 7:14:34 PM - Also if they found a way to buy rice shares in some market before all this hit it benefits whomever has rice holdings to scare people so the price goes up.by lillymunster 8/8/2011 7:15:35 PM
- those kinds of people eventually lose out,,,, I will see if he sends an email addressing my questionby dean 8/8/2011 7:16:30 PM

- good luck, assuming you mean a bike race?by lillymunster 8/8/2011 7:20:22 PM
I took Higgins out of Tweets long ago due to his money making schemes.........when all his sites went down and he did a donation video appeal.by Veenie 8/8/2011 7:20:32 PM- @Veenie he was begging for money? For what? jeez. :-)by lillymunster 8/8/2011 7:30:45 PM
- Today's laugh. I have the test blog where I have been testing out the new theme for the group website and test add ons before putting them on the site. There are three placemarker "stories" on it. Someone left this comment on it.
"Great post. I was checking constantly this blog and I am impressed! Extremely useful info specially the last part :) I care for such information a lot. I was seeking this particular info for a long time. Thank you and good luck."by lillymunster 8/8/2011 7:40:19 PM
