"crack on ocean floor"

Too much sad information.

My niece Heather is indeed now embedded south of Tokyo, teaching English for two years. She should be relatively safe unless something nasty happens south of Tokyo. She is wise beyond her years and will most likely avoid products from the Fukushima Prefecture.

It's a damn pity that world news flits from one story to another and just because Fukushima is long term news, they just don't cover it with the attention it deserves. Remember the "day count" they used to do for Iraq? Or was that Vietnam?
