JAPAN IN JEOPARDY!

While many citizens around the world want to contribute to the relief efforts in Japan, unfortunately there are already scam artists about trying to capitalize upon their misfortune.

If you would like to donate to the disaster relief efforts, PLEASE GIVE DIRECTLY TO THE RED CROSS!

In America, you can either go to http://www.redcross.org/ and donate, or text the word REDCROSS to 90999 on your cellphone/blackberry/whatever device, which will automatically donate $10 US Dollars to that organization's efforts to help and add it to the next bill from your next Internet provider.

Internationally: you can contact the INTERNATIONAL RED CROSS at http://www.icrc.org/.

A THIRD explosion was reported at the Fukushima Dai-Ichi Nuclear Power Plant this morning. United States Naval vessels off the Japanese coast hoping to help with the relief efforts are detecting radiation leakage in the atmosphere.
Authorities are attempting containment procedures as you read these words.
The hopes and prayers are with our brethren in Japan.

UPDATE: MARCH 17
Efforts are continuing to minimize the risks around and concerning the nuclear power plant.
Residents within a 15 mile area of the facility have been evacuated, although due to the cultural/generational impact as a result of events during the end of World War 2, many citizens elsewhere in Japan are leaving the country voluntarily.
BUT ONLY THE 15 MILE AREA AROUND THE POWER PLANT IS OFFICIALLY CLEARED!
