The people of Japan need your prayers (or best wishes) and more than likely in the next days, weeks and months, will require help.
Closely tied to this, but more up my alley regarding work, the newswires and twitterverse are blazing with stories about Japanese nuke plants. In particular, the worst affected plant appears to be Fukushima Daiichi. The latest news (as I'm typing this) is that the plant might release "radioactive vapor".
To be clear, this is a well-established (and highly monitored/controlled) strategy to minimize the effects following an emergency situation at a nuclear power plant. As always, I would rather hear the info from the horse's mouth than twitter or most news outlets because there are plenty of people who have an agenda or are slightly (or grossly) misinformed. You might say that the "horse's mouth" might tell lies. I tend to believe that the operators of these plants want to be truthful because if it comes out that they withheld the truth, there will be heck to pay in the end.
Regarding the horse's mouth...
