Writeup on the Dangers of a Nuclear Meltdown in Japan
I just came across a long writeup regarding the probability of a serious nuclear catastrophe in Japan that might be worth a read. In my opinion we're spending a lot of "news" cycles speculating about a situation which poses a small risk instead of focusing on the actual tragedy that has already happened.

International Women’s Day
Happy 100th International Women's Day! Hooray! The Bad Astronomer has a post about it if you're interested. The video by Judi Dench and Daniel Craig is a good reminder of how far we have to go for truer equality and perhaps how far we've come.
