So, it's been a long week everybody, and the it looks like it's going to stay that way. With the nuclear reactors in Japan leaking and people running in to patch the electrical lines so they can start pumping water to cool it. These people are rushing in and gettting exposed to the strong radiation coming from the reactor, in essence these people are sacrificing themselves to save Japan and possibly the U.S. from possible fallout. And now it looks as though two more of the reactors are going to be facing similar prooblems. Japan has Taken a pretty harsh blow from all of this, and a lot of people have lost their lives, and I can't begin to imagine the terror they felt as they were being swept away by this massive wave, and the after effects as buildings fell and homes were washed off of their foundations. It's a rough time for Japan, and it's going to be a long time before things get better.

On a happier note, a ceasefire has been called in Libya. Libya's foreign minister, Moussa Koussa (chuckle) has called an immediate military ceasefire. Now in my opinion, it's all because the UN, Arab Emirates and The Arab League have announced the decision to fully support the 'no fly zone'. But hey, if we scared them into a ceasefire that's fine with me, as long as people stop dying and some order is returned. And now we don't have to turn their air defenses and military outposts into parking lots and craters. Now, it's technically an 'immediate' ceasefire, but it will take a few days to fully enact it. So we'll get reports of some minor fighting for a while, but hopefully soon things will settle down again. We can only hope.

Thanks for stopping in everyone, come back soon.
