FUKUSHIMA, Japan - Japan suspended operations today to prevent a stricken nuclear plant from melting down after a surge in radiation made it too dangerous for workers to remain. Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said the workers dousing the reactors in a frantic effort to cool them needed to withdraw.
TOKYO (AP) -- Yahoo Japan Corp. said today it will use Google technology to run its search engine and search ad delivery system after a similar deal in the United States was derailed by regulators concerned about a monopoly. The decision by Yahoo Japan, which is largely independent from its California namesake, will mean that the bulk of Internet searches done in Japan will use Google's search engine, though both companies said enough independence would be maintained to keep the market competitive.
The Japan Reconfiguration and Digitization Program is a $100 million project which will modernize and improve communications for United States military forces in Japan. The Air Force Communications Command is the lead command for the project, which involves a massive realignment and digitization of the Defense Communications System (DCS). The program encompasses two major Defense Communications Agency projects: the DCS reconfiguration in the Kanto Plain and digitization of the Japan DCS. A photograph of military officials at the construction site of a new Japanese control facility is included.
O n Aug. 7, 1942, U.S. Marines landed on Guadalcanal, one of the Solomon Islands in the western Pacific, taking a key airfield from the Japanese forces. Japan's counterattack led the U.S. Navy to withdraw its ships from the area - a controversial decision to this day - and leave the amphibious forces exposed. When he saw the aircraft carriers sailing off, one of the veterans of the battle - 85-year-old Dr. Sidney Phillips - says he doesn't remember the troops being overly concerned.
When news recently broke that Twitter is joining forces with Mixi to compete against Facebook in Japan, the question on the lips of most Americans was, "What in the world is Mixi? Since MySpace long ago became what Seth Meyers of Saturday Night Live calls "the abandoned amusement park of the Internet," people in the United States often see Facebook - and perhaps Twitter and Linkedin - as the social network for the world and are oblivious to alternatives like Japan's Mixi.
David Sears has assembled a fascinating reprise of the naval air war over Korea, based in no small measure on extensive interviews of the men who were there and did the flying but also with extensive research into other sources. His extensive bibliography and notes reflect just that. Nor does he tell a boring, straightforward, chronological story. Instead, he devotes considerable discussion to the parallels and, indeed, depictions of real-life events in James Michener's "The Bridges at Toko-Ri" and the movie "The Fighting Lady," both based on the naval air war over Korea, as well as clear descriptions of life on the storm-tossed carriers of the 7th Fleet and the hazards involved in flying from those aircraft carriers into those hostile skies. When the North Koreans crossed the 38th para...

With minor levels of excess radiation detected in Tokyo and at two nearby U.S. military bases, alarm is building among Americans in Japan who fear the Japanese government and the U.S. military are underplaying the threat of contamination from four out-of-control nuclear reactors. The commander of U.S. Naval Forces in Japan, Rear Adm. Richard Wren, raised anxiety levels Tuesday when he advised residents of Yokosuka Naval Base, near Tokyo, to "limit outdoor activity" -- less than a day after he told a town hall meeting that radiation from the reactors wouldn't affect them.
