  • "� NY Times ... ": Here's the New York Times' analysis of the situation at the Japanese nuclear power plant.

  • "� Plutonium ... ": Here's one of a large number of pages discussing the toxicity of Plutonium.

  • "� LD50 ... ": This is a measure of toxicity. LD = "lethal dose". 50 = 50 percent. LD50 is the amount of a substance which is likely to prove fatal to 50 percent of people (rats, cats, etc.) exposed. Caffeine about as toxic as Plutonium, but you'd need to drink about 1,300 cups a day to get to the LD50 level.

  • "� IAEA ... ": Here's the link to the International Atomic Energy Agency's website.

  • "� MSNBC ... ": Here's the link to the MSNBC report.

    At "Bobby's" in Vero Beach. The perfect way to start a long weekend with "the guys."

    Catchy Caption of the Day

    Actual Caption:

    Children play outside of an evacuation center at Sendai, Japan, on March 14 in the wake of the quake and tsunami that struck the region.

    Japan's envoy Kaoru Ishikawa to Canada said Thursday that Japanese orphans would greatly benefit from visiting summer camps in the Canadian wilds after losing parents in the recent quake and tsunami.

    Wasn't their fault, but the children will suffer the most.
