Flea powder may be saving lives in Japan after the Tsunami.
via cringely.com
I’m guessing the US Navy delivered a load of sodium polyborate from some nuclear aircraft carrier reactor supply room in the Pacific Fleet. Its use indicates that the nuclear threat is even worse than presently being portrayed in the news. Tokyo Electric Power Company has probably given-up any hope of keeping those cooling pumps on after the batteries fail. Eventually they’ll vent the now boron-laced coolant to the atmosphere to keep containment pressures under control. Sodium polyborate, by the way, is something you might use around the house, since it is the active ingredient in most flea and tick treatments.
An earthquake with such loss of life is bad enough, but Japan has also just lost 20 percent of its electric generating capacity. And I’ll go out on a limb here and predict that none of those 11 reactors will re-enter service again, they’ve been so compromised.

Bliss to Blitzed in Three Minutes in Sichuan
What a difference, three minutes and a magnitude 7.9 earthquake make.
These are important moments in any couples lives. When we lived in Singapore, the family wedding photographs were a big deal. Parks were often full of beaming young couples. For our wedding it was freezing and raining, but we managed to avoid any major dramas other than my future wife nearly freezing in her not too warm outfit.
