March Madness Begins

Yeah! One of the best sporting events of the sports calendar starts today! The NCAA Basketball Tournament to crown the national champion!

All of the buzzer beaters, all of the drama, the big upsets, and possibly the Cinderella team that will battle the Goliaths of the country. All day long the first part of round 1 will begin and it'll go into the late games tonight.

Same thing with tomorrow and into the weekend! That makes this the best weekend for sporting goodness. One team will go on a six game win streak and win the entire event. Just one.

In other news Japan is really on the brink of an event that's possibly worse than Chernobyl. Chernobyl had one reactor partially melt down and it had no containment shields around it. Japan has three I believe that are in serious trouble but they have containment buildings, damaged though they may be. There's strong speculation that the pools of water that house the spent rods are also in trouble but Japan officials deny that.

If containment fails the risk to Tokyo is enormous. Some very brave people will be asked to do some very deadly things to keep that from happening and even that might not help in the end.

All in all Japan needs prayers. This situation hasn't seen bad yet I fear.
