Starting today March 15th updates to the blog will take place twice a day, once mid-morning, and again late afternoon Chicago time. Check for breaking news at the news links above or at Google News.
The reason is the situation in Japan is evolving so quickly that it we think it will be more effective to do two summary level reports daily rather than overwhelm readers with too much information.
