    martyn_williams: Japan may consider adopting daylight savings time to help reduce power consumption in summer - Kaieda via Kyodo
    Hmm... idk about this idea being batted around. People get confused enough converting time zones as is... lol

    But I like this idea (provided they can afford it--we've had some banking snafus over here with this kind of thing in the past):

    DailyYomiuri: The govt announced it will offer no-interest loans of 100,000 yen to households hit by the March 11 disaster, with some eligible for 200,000

    That's only around $1k (or 2k for the higher maount) you know, right? Not saying it won't help, because it will. Just saying, 100,000 yen isn't as much as it sounds like

    NHK cut into a press conference briefly.

    pressure in #2 stabilizing, still working on getting systems working properly in #3. Then they cut out to weather report...probly go back to the recorded loop again next.

    Heavy tweet dump just now. A lot of duplicate entries, stuff not related to Japan. A few notable entries:

    daniel_garcia_r: Morning FNPP1 dose rate update (Main Gate): Yesterday's slow downwards trend continued today; now (6am) bellow 200uSv/h

    daniel_garcia_r: Same downwards evolution observed at FNPP2 (10km south of FNPP1), bellow 10 uSv/h at 5am

    daniel_garcia_r Slight increase (up to 11uSv/h) at 6am likely to come from wind direction change at sunrise, also observed in Ibaraki
    jtnatsuko:Prince hotel spared wrecking ball to house evacuees
    hopefully TEPCO will release some updated statuses soon at their website This morning's rush hour power usage looks like it may come in a little under yesterday's numbers--the 9:00-10:00am block was 150Kw under.


    DailyYomiuri: The mayor of Shibuya Ward has asked the city of Iida, Nagano Pref, for water for its infants, and the city is sending 4 tons by truck.
    0.o the 10am-11am morning rush block came in 230Kw below yesterday. If this trend continues...wonder if they'll drop that 6p-10p blackout block?

    Wish I could be online in the morning when the servers go live to see just how it all works out--will be dragging the taru out of bed and dragging her nappy head to school.

    japanstatus: Just published today's radiation readings. Fukushima slightly up from yesterday, but still varying widely
    Not all sites have applied them to graphs yet...but Tokyo saw a very slight drop. Ibaraki is still decreasing faster then most, but it's rate of decline is slowing to about 7%/day on average--Speedi still picking up over 800 on it's gamma sensor. It's getting closer to where it was before they vented the reactors though--might get there by Saturday if the trend holds up.

    Areas close to Fukushima are still seeing some slight increases--a couple sensors jumped a little higher than they typically have been, but that could be more due to changes in the wind. Nevertheless, it is raising some eyebrows:

    W7VOA: Edano hinting evac radius may be expanded to 30km from Fukushima-1 but not yet.
    Edano speaking now, but about electricity restrictions. Awaiting word on Reactor 3.
    grrr... JapanTimes went AWOL again...one twitter feed just went blank on me and is refusing to update. Hope it's just the particular servers and not a sign of the web's infrastructure over there buckling under the load.


    DailyYomiuri: The N-safety panel releases its 1st infant radiation risk estimates, saying babies outside the evac zone may be at risk
    W7VOA: Top #Japan gov't spokesman now essentially saying perhaps it's best if those in the 20km-30km zone from #Fukushima-1 voluntarily evacuate
    Yomiuri: TEPCO detected zirconium 95 at 0.23 Bq 330m south of Fukushima-1 drainage outlet on Wednesday.

    DailyYomiuri: Ferry carrying 1,400 tons of food, medical supplies arrived at Sendai-Shiogama Port today
    omfg.. I can't believe I just heard this on NHK...they are talking about raising tariffs on energy to try to discourage use of AC systems when warmer weather hits the region. Say it with me now...

    W T F ??!!


    ...and here we go again with another cycle of newsdumps about Wacky Qaddafi...guess it's a good time to go to bed.

    One last nugget before I crash:
    During morning rush, Japan kept power usage under yesterday's usage by at least 150 Kw and as much as 230Kw from 9am to 12pm JST. Hope they can keep it up so we don't have issues when servers come up.

    Poking around a bit between weather cycles... found a few tidbits to share:

    gakuranman: Possibility of crack in the pipes supplying water to unti 3 - maybe be which caused high levels of rad in water where workers were harmed
    On March 25th,
    remaining worker was also transferred to Fukushima Medical University
    hospital. All 3 workers are now being transferred to National Institute
    of Radiological Sciences in Chiba Prefecture.
    TEPCO holding off on blackouts for the next 48 hours, then will review the situation. Expecting weather changes may increase demand.
