My wife arrived into KIX. The counters at SFO were pretty quiet yesterday when I took her. She called while waiting for the MK taxi and also sent e-mail. It must be difficult on all the people of Japan also in the Kansai region esp emotional as she has not e-mailed again. Have a feeling the family is doing lots of talking.

The news cycle here in the States has started to change. Now in scanning FOX, CNN and MSNBC the news is about 50-50 mix. Not a full focus on Japan. Also at this moment viewing JapanTV the format is more "calm" for lack of a better word. Let us all keep Japan in our thoughts.

Several pages back I made a comment on the nuclear power program in Japan. With regret it has all come to the such a tragic state. The 50 workers left at the plant are national heroes. The executives in Tokyo - . Well I will leave that for each of you to complete.
