    8PM in Japan, not 8AM.
    It says 4:00 PDT which is 8PM in Japan.

    Japan is 12 hours ahead of me, exact, and the servers go on, for me, at 8AM tomorrow, which is 8PM in Japan Friday night.

    EDIT: Servers are scheduled to be up in 11 hours, 40 minutes from this post.

    11:00 GMT/UTC time.

    If you are on Winblows, you can check how your time relates to GMT by viewing details of your timezone in your clock properties (double-click clock in systray in XP)--just remember to adjust for Daylight Savings if your region does it (+1 hour).

    Alternatively, you can check the current time differences here:

    info on TEPCO employees that suffered radiation burns from TEPCO's last press release:
    - On March 24th, it was confirmed that 3 workers from cooperative
    companies who were in charge of cable laying work in the 1st floor and
    the underground floor of turbine building were exposed to the radiation
    dose of more than 170 mSv. 2 of them were confirmed that their leg skin
    were contaminated. Although they were decontaminated, since it is
    judged that there is possibility of beta ray burn injury, they were
    transferred to Fukushima Medical University Hospital. After medical
    examination at Fukushima Medical University Hospital, they will be
    transferred to National Institute of Radiological Sciences in Chiba
    Prefecture today (March 25) and stay for around four days to survey
    the situation. Inspection result of the water that the workers stepped
    in will be announced when it is reported.

    interesting story on Wal-Mart and their response to the Japan crisis:
    http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000...riko+sanchanta

    tldr: within 12 hours, they had 22/24 stores in the region handing out food and water in their parking lots (over $650,000 worth by nightfall). By Wednesday morning after the incident, they had coordinated with various agencies and arranged to have a plane land in Narita with 10 tons of water, flashlights, batteries, some food items for the USAF to deliver to the affected areas.

    In addition to their direct relief efforts, Wal-Mart Foundation also donated 5 Million dollars to recovery.

    jpeg of the company's timeline to date:

    Just amazes me that I haven't seen this in the mainstream until now.
