    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.

    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:
    http://si.wsj.net/public/resources/i...0324140702.jpg

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

    By the way, I don't know if this has been mentioned at all, but will the game be on a day to day basis or are they planning to keep it on for the weekend and turn it off for the work week?

    Service will resume normally, unless something happens to reduce power capacity.

    Well, yea... that's what we're all assuming, but I'd venture a guess that we're gonna tip over the scale in usage over the weekend, and at that point, when people go back to work on monday (Sunday for us still), if they can't supply enough power they MIGHT have to turn off the power again. My guess is at that point they'll turn off the servers again, which is why the idea of playing on weekends only for now isn't so farfetched.

    And believe you me, that's the last thing I want, but based on what I see it's a very likely scenario. Here's hoping...

    reminds me.. never did hear more about the Baseball leagues over there. Went to the JP Baseball blog and found a few posts on it:
    ( http://japanesebaseball.com/blogs/index.jsp)

    PL announced they were going to hold off on opening day until April, while CL was holding out for 3/25. CL eventually pushed it back to 3/29. Both leagues are now listing their seasons as startting 4/12 at the Nippon site:
