danger we tend to air on the caution side. there was real fear in the continuing affects and after shocks and potential dangers from the reactors. >> the three students currently have been asked to return to the united states with the hell f of their sponsors. -- with the help of their sponsors. hundreds of thousands are evacuating cities within 12 miles of the plant in fear of radiation. these students had to leave. they put so much effort into it and now they kind of loss -- not only have they lost an experience, they lost an entire semester of school. >> i can imagine, e studied abroad in pain two years ago, i know -- it's just something that really bad luck. >> what's also unfortunate, they have money that they put into it and they're getting their tuition back but they're not getting their flight back, so they're coming out of

pocket, they're losing municipal, time and -- losing money, time, and experience. the tragedy in japan is a reminder to many people that we also live on fault lines there's no way to truly predict an earthquake. >> japan's recent natural disaster reminds many residents of our last major earthquake. >> as soon as i realized i did get down under my table because things were starting to fall from the ceiling. >> it rocked the bay area in 1989. there's a 67% chance another one will hit sometime in the next 30 years. geology professor is the one that can have affect for us here on campus. >> that's because of this -- we're at the peak of probability of the return of an earthquake. >> even though a tremor cannot be pinpointed exactly, everyone should be prepared for one.

>> we live on a plate bound. there's no place to be. you can't avoid and act. >> students on campus vary on how -- >> i think i'm pretty prepared, you know, our family set aside, you know, rations, water, things like that. so we're pretty prepared. >> i continue every day life and not railroad worry about it. you over think and you can be heard. >> my concerns, well, i think all of us are concerned. is it worth it to worry so much over it, probably not. don't lose any sleep over it, that's what i would say. >> there's only so much a person can do to prepare for such an event. >> i think you prepare for everything you can control and you don't worry about the rest. >> the u.s. geological web site offers information for preparing for an earthquake on advice on what to do nuclear

power has many complex consideration. but it's fairly straightforward. for more on that let's go to kyle stevens who knows a thing about engineering. >> it does have many considerations to it. but the prose sufficient how create electricity is pretty straightforward. uranium and unstable elements is gathered to fuel rods which are placed inside a reactor. control rods are in there to control reaction the uranium goes through. as it breaks down. the heat is used to boil water which turns to steam. this acts like an electric fan reverse. there you have it. >> so, kyle, what exactly happen today the nuclear waste. >> it's filled in specialized containers which are kept out

of public eye. i understand france has they're capturing it in agelast like product and -- gas like product and ceiling it that way. >> how do you know about this? >> both my grandfather is engineers. i guess it runs in the family. >> thank you. >> welcome. ever wonder what it would be like to found a mountain, some of us found out sort of. stick around to see how we faired. >> there's a new apple on the market and it covers -- thumbs up or thumbs down before you head out to the weekend box office, you'll want to hear what tracy has to say this week in movie reviews but first we asked students about what they plan on doing for spring break. gui sleep rlhuds/ ni er

for college. students pay fir their the -- pay for their tuition in a variety ways. one of the most popular ways is to take a student loan. however as tracy reports this can cause a lot of additional stress. >> megan graduated from a southern california college with a degree in visual arts. even though she happy she got the degree. she's worried about the loan she has to pay off. >> and the fact being able to support myself on my own, i don't have to worry about that chunk of chain and i have to pay my uncle $200 a month, so it kind of hungers my income and -- hinders my income and what i can do with it. >> it scares the crap out of me really badly. i'm going to be like maybe 15,

20,000 in the hole when i get out of college just for college. >> i kind of think that future me is going to be a lot smaller and responsible than i am right now. i try not to worry about that right now. >> others refused to take out a loan of fear of not being able to make the monthly payments upon graduating. >> i don't think i'm going to get a student loan. i'll try to pay it off month by month. >> psychology professor david says students graduating now have much more on their plate. >> if all this other stuff -- but right now i think the traditional stress. >> still even with all the stress of having to pay back a loan, she says she would do it again. >> it's nice i guess is the word for it. >> professor imlet says students need to find a way to cope with the stress. >> i think it's important. it's a small thing to look

forward to every day. every week, and a few big things every year. >> just because students have a lot to do doesn't mean they should negative sleeping, eating or relaxing. the experts have tips to offer on how to handle the day the day stresses we all face. on campus, tracy update news. >> we introduced to where students make teams to compete in a ten week challenge to get feet. here we decided to take it to the next level. our very own team consisted of tracy, the and aaron as well as our news director. our first assignment climb -- well not exactly. but at least work out equivalent to it. first 30 minutes on the elliptical, this is comparable to climbing 200 feet. next members must run for 30 minutes this is equivalent to 500 feet up the mountain.

you'll have successfully 1,000 feet. hike for 45 minutes adding 750 feet to the total as you make it through, you'll have 19,298 feet under your belt. the length of the trail. so far our team has climbed about 4,000 feet. keep tuning in to update to see how the updaters fair with the other challenges. i know you guys had to wake up at the crack of dawn to do this work out. how was that for you guys. >> i am not a morning person at all so dragging myself out of bed to go run and then we -- probably the most gruel thing i could have done. >> i will say the bright side in waking up so early, i got the best parking spot i have ever gotten. it was amazing. >> speaking of tracy, i heard there's some new words in the dictionary that i may have used in high school that are considered words now. >> before we get to that, our app of the week is some -- want

to be a journalist, you don't have to be in my sight to do it. spartan daily is stirring up the news -- the app allows students to participate. the assignments are posted and students can accept the task and up load pictures directly to the app. if you see breaking news or something interesting happening on campus posted on the news flash section where others can post their comments the app was created news worthy events and those who post pictures. it helps to daily report what's happening now on campus and what's important to students. the oxford english dictionary is considered -- covering meaning, history and the pronunciation of more than half a million word spoken in america and abroad. each year new words are approved -- this year many technology oriented words made it in slain.

with only ten minutes of any kind of action. the writing left to be desired it made sure under no uncertain terms that the adjustment bureau is made up of angels. the only way i would have liked this movie is morgan freeman played god. mango is on the other hand, he is searching for his purpose in life. ran grow stumbled across an old western town called dirt and immediately becomes sheriff. i've dot -- i've got to say, it's fantastic. it's rated pg, not meant for small children. it has violent huge humor and one two sex -- a child is given a gun to play with and he proceeds to point it in his eyes. wrangle is a must see but leave your little brother or sister at home unless you want to explain to them what an enlarged prostate is. >> i think that a lot of the

animations now day are not geared towards little children it's hard for parents to tell if they should bring their children to these animation. >> there were adult jokes it was still focused on us. now it seems like it's focused on the parents and the kids are left to play with the popcorn. >> another interesting i thought about, it's been getting high ratings. i don't know if al yes or nos came and wanted to take over a city. if they took l.a. i wouldn't feel that bad. march madness is in full swing as the ncaa tournament fill is underway. we'll be breaking it down for us. who will move on and who will go on. >> the baseball team was an action against a nonconference in title town usa. we'll show you the out come as update throughs continues. >> but first students found to

offer what they think about st. patick's day. "ohh wheresm c charms." walkr " "normally when tn ofpaick's day i think thluih ghov, pinching people who en wea drinking, a lo. jeross t's my sister's birthday tnk o" osamudiamiengu" "i teendrunk people, pubs a my dads ur percent irsh."alisa mckeie" >> see green, drunk people, and my dad is 4% irish. when it comes to my mind the day just before st. patick's day and that's the patriot, drunk enpeople outside my window . >> now i hear you're going to help us out with our bracket.

>> you know everybody says their bracket is already messed up at this point. first we've got to start off with some pastimes. that's baseball. >> great. >> and then last game of the jack giffords memorial tournament, the baseball took on the panthers who they beat in the first game. the spartans started off strong in the first, but they went to right by bringing in craig. now 3-0 lead panthers close rbi single says a lot. and three run hitting streak. they will add one more in the fifth. but as the sun disappeared, so did the panthers, spartans get another shot to the right to score hard letter. they will then run away with the lead and title. the team will return home from

a lengthy road trip -- lengthy road trip. the student union is not the only -- undergoing big changes. with a total estimated cost of 16 million to 20 million $. athletic director tom bow went has been heading the plan for over 4 years. when playing at the highest level of division one athletics. >> our facilities need some love. 20nfacit o" ckrsl ere possibly by the 2,011 football

season and in 2012 they plan to break ground on 10 million $s football facility will give a -- the football facility will include lockers offices meeting rooms with a hall of fame area with state player bill walsh. the plan includes the building of a fieldhouse where the former married housing dorms used to be be. >> he can't help but see the positive. >> i think it's going to be a great asset for the whole universe for the student to have -- president dollars believe that all of these projects can be completed. all

of these upgrades will be paid and in the process of finding a donor. $in san jose. >> he has his own radio show for $10 million and he gives my predictions on who will win in the nba, nfl an maybe the major league baseball. ryan is live on campus to tell us more, ryan. >> what's going on? >> it's going good up here. now the first question i do want to ask you the nba is closing down on its regular season, who in your opinion will make the run at the nba final championship. >> the bulls are doing things that no one saw coming with the east being impacted as it is. the magic, heat and celtics are three things -- the bulls have

come out of left field and are in first place now. who would have thought with lebron james going away, the bulls who got left behind by lebron james would be the team of the top. and that leaves everyone to think, who would they have been if they would have been able to sign lebron james. >> the celtics are the team that's been around, they've gone to the finals two of the last three seasons. they took the lakers to game 7. they're experienced. veterans they know how to win games. they're the teams that's going to challenge them. the heat, maybe don the line. you want to talk right now this season, the celtics are veteran team. >> now we overlooked in the west, of course, we have eight good teams. we have denver making the big trade, too deep in every position. we also have new orleans, who will take that western conference title and who will be the threat to that team? >> you cannot go against a team that's on back to back national championship with the coach who

has won more titles than anyone in the history of the game. the lakers are the team that's on everyone's mind. they're the team to beat. a team that can threaten them, got to be the spurs just like the veterans are veteran team and tim duncan as their big three. they have the coach of the year and that's the team that's going to be able to challenge the lakers. >> you're saying the spurs are the no. 1 team in the west. do you feel the lakers can over ride them they did have a big win up in san antonio earlier this year. do you think they will be the team to handle the spurs up in san antonio. >> no one is going to be able to top that lead. the purr spurs will end up with a no. 1 seed. the lakers kind of displayed the spur's weakness. the lakers took advantage of they will. i think they have everyone figured out. >> well, thank you ryan, we can turn in to the ryan show every weekday here on campus. finally bust out your

tournament bracket. all six bay area schools include, next year turning. as for now in the field of 68 it goes something like that. duke, pit, ohio state and kansas will make it there. that sets up the championship match which will be feeding duke and canvas which they will repeat by a score of 85-82. every year the tournament brings out the prizes, it will be the richmond spiders. i don't know about you ladies but everything that's going on in a month or so, nfl draft, it's going to be one crazy ride from here on out. that's a look at sports. >> some crazy predictions what do you think? >> it's been one time in the history of ncaa tournament that all four first seeded teams have made it to the final four why do you look at -- why do

you think it's going to happen this year. >> they are too deep in every position, including the man in the middle i like kansas because they have those twins that they can play double digit minutes but i like duke to take it all the way. they've got every senior coming back this year. they won't be there next year, i realize stretching out, he is the younger brother, but also kyle is the man in charge. but also the plumbing brothers, they will crash the boards in and everything else and i like coach kay he has experience to bring it down stretch. >> thanks. and that does it for this week's edition of update news. thanks for staying up late with us and be sure to check us out on facebook. >> you can find us but updating, get some rest and be sure to join us next week.
