So, What's a Nuclear Fuel Rod, Anyway?
This video should be required viewing for anyone interested in what Japan is currently dealing with (at least the nuclear aspect... Japan is dealing with a LOT right now)
"I think it is, frankly, less upsetting to actually understand what is going on than it is to not understand." Rachel Maddow.
By the numbers: A single fuel rod weighs over 700 pounds! A single uranium fuel pellet the size of a fingertip contains as much energy as 17,000 cubic feet of natural gas, 1,780 pounds of coal or 149 gallons of oil.

Overwhelming
How do humans cope with this level of catastrophe?
Text "RedCross" to 90999. Please. Japan has always been a good friend in our times of need (re: Katrina). It is time we return the favor.

How to Draw 3d Cube Designs
Isometric grid paper is AWESOME stuff!!! If you want your work to stand head-and-shoulders above the rest at the math competition, learn how to use this stuff!!!
Here is where you can download the paper. It is much easier (in my opinion) to use the paper if you lay it down landscape style. If you are interested in printing your own variety of grid paper, use this fabulous website: Incompetech.
Watch this yourself and teach your kids, or give them some paper, and let them have at it as they watch the video themselves. Have fun!
