I am not an engineer, but I know that in Tokyo the building codes are all very strict (engineers help me…but buildings have rubber belts built into foundations to absorb shock) and for many years, they had no skyscrapers for this reason until they could adapt this shock absorption technology, but the north simply could not withstand the shock. Engineers can better comment on the nuclear issue.
The dead cops were really weird stories…one guy WHO HAD BEEN ARRESTED MAYBE 27 TIMES, puished one over the stoop railing and the other cop shot by MTA police friendly fire.
This time change is killing me. Couldn’t sleep at all last night, and now I’m exhausted. Plus it’s Monday, something crazy went down Friday in the after school program, tomorrow is a half day (which makes kids crazy), and I have big stuff going on. Whee!
bxgrl, it certainly helps!
wendy- on the other hand, you met all of us, so that should make up for all the other stuff, no?
Serious question: does Japan really need our $10 contribution when its central bank is injecting money into the system?
The Central Bank is injecting money to stablize the economy.
Our 10 dollar or even 1 dollar contributions helps. Think how much would be raised if every man, woman and child in the US gave just 1 dollar.
benson,,,TEPCO was -23% but actually 99% of the sell orders didn’t clear.
The time change is affecting people??????

The stock price of both Toshiba and Hitachi fell by about 16% yesterday. These two companies are the major suppliers of nuclear reactors in the world.

Hi, all.
This time change is killing me. Couldn’t sleep at all last night, and now I’m exhausted. Plus it’s Monday, something crazy went down Friday in the after school program, tomorrow is a half day (which makes kids crazy), and I have big stuff going on. Whee!
