Fukushima, Japan – Nuclear Reactor Explosion – March 12, 2011
Why did the news deny this for hours after it happened? We have no idea and we are still getting conflicting reports a day later, can we trust any of our news outlets anymore? The news out of Japan is sad, can we at least get some decent reporting?

I Recycle. Do You? November 15 is America Recycles Day!
Annual Day of Celebration Raises Awareness and Encourages Action to Increase Recycling Nationwide
STAMFORD, Conn., Nov. 12, 2010 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — "I Recycle" is the theme of the 2010 America Recycles Day (ARD), which takes place on November 15. Millions of Americans have pledged to increase their recycling habits at home and at work over the 13-year history of ARD, a nationally-recognized initiative dedicated to encouraging people to recycle more at home, at work, and on the go.
National nonprofit Keep America Beautiful is proud to lead the celebration, providing resources and supporting the activities of over 1,500 grassroots event organizers across the country.
"Recycling is the easiest thing that any individual can do to reduce his or her carbon footprint, save energy and protect natural resources," said Matthew M. McKenna, president & CEO of Keep America Beautiful, Inc. "While we celebrate the power of recycling on this special day, it’s something we should all make a conscious effort to do every day of the year."
Facebook is broken, the world weeps as addicted farmers all over the world lose crops, world hunger ensues, and life as we know it…
Oh never mind, Farmville is not that important. Neither is Facebook. In related news in the last hour, US productivity is up 200%, the sun actually exists, and we don’t really care if you “like” this post or not.
You may have to find another place to actually talk to someone. There are these places called bars, restaurants, coffee shops, parks and more where you can actually interact with someone. Try it sometime.
Luckily, for now, Twitter is still up so we can all discuss Facebook being down.
Welcome to the new Matrix!
