EARTHQUAKE

The crippled Fukushima Daiichi power plant in northeastern Japan hit by another blow as the system to cool the nuclear reactor and fuel pool has stopped at its No. 5 unit.

After the March 11 disaster crisis, the Japanese people seem to have lost their confidence on Prime Minister Naoto Kan. While 70 percent of Japanese voters want a replacement for Kan, nearly half of them think he should continue as the PM.

Authorities are expected to release an updated list of missing persons in the tornado-hit Joplin area in Missouri.

The United States will help Japan as it copes with the massive earthquake, tsunami and nuclear crisis, and tries to rebuild its state, President Barack Obama said on Thursday, soothing a rift between the two allies over the atomic disaster.

Sony Corp. missed analysts profit estimates for the next fiscal year, largely due to the record earthquake that hit Japan and a string of attacks from hackers.

Harold Camping, who prematurely sold the idea of a doomsday to gullible millions, is refusing to fade away from news. He is still a hot search topic on the Internet and is still routinely discussed in social networks even after he rolled in the mud and bandied out the most incongruous explanations for his failed May 21st Doomsday prediction

The tremors of Japan’s earthquake and hacking attacks will cost Sony ¥14 billion (US$170 million) in this financial year, Sony said, reports say.

Crude oil prices declined in Europe trade as strengthening U.S. dollar and weaker-than-expected decline in U.S. crude stockpiles weighed.

Japan's recent radiation leakage from the Fukushima nuclear plant has forced people to take independent measures in ensuring their safety to avoid radiation hazards.

The incorrigible false prophet of the May 21st Doomsday theory, Oakland preacher Harold Camping, is far from being a changed man after he bit the dust for a second time and his prediction took a place among the most opprobrious jokes in history. According to his earlier prediction, the judgment day would have unfolded in two neatly planned phases; the rapture on May 21, 2011 and the final annihilation of the world on October 21. The quake/flood juggernaut would have selectively destroyed/saved t...

Sony says it expects to post $3.2 billion in losses, reversing previous predictions of a return to profitability.

Harold Camping could have done better before Doomsday, but even so after the failure. Here is a comparison of what he should have said and what he said.

The operation of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant was suspended by the March 11 earthquake and tsunami, as there were meltdowns of fuel rods at three of the plant's reactors from the damage after the earthquake and tsunami, the company confirmed on Tuesday.

Harold Camping licked his wounds on Monday relishing the quietness of the Day After. But he was palpably sad because the quietness was not the aftermath of the predicted gigantic earthquake that would have flattened Earth. It was tremendous effort from a man who sat on the ruins of his beliefs and still braved odds to parrot his utterly erroneous theories. So we helped him piece together his broken world post the false doomsday prediction.

Harold Camping's prediction of May 21 Doomsday has failed. But, what about his followers who had blindly followed the prediction and vigorously spread the message?

Have you ever thought of zombies being a reality? A blog post by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has talked about how to get prepared for emergency situations like flood, earthquake or even a zombie attack.

Justifying all previously failed doomsday predictions, Harold Camping has said that God did come in 1994 and that He has come this time too for the final ‘judgement’.
