@Jim Carver I have no idea Jim. Maybe if you check out the link to the EPA site I posted below you could run your own search and find an explanation - sorry

@Tenzing It's bogus. You can't emit anti-matter, well sometimes a positron, or be absorbing particles of substances that emit particles. Or somebody explain how the laws of physics are working in reverse.

@Jim Carver @Tenzing - a negative number means that the zero has been changed. This is evidence that the EPA is cooking the books. If you think of a interger scale they just moved the zero to 100 so anything that reads below that is a negative number. The meter may be zeroed with a known radioactive contamination so that anything below this known contamination level reads negative. Wow Jim, anti-matter?

@Nancy: www.mext.go.jp has the current series of dust measurements, from 3/22 through today

@Lethbridgean Thank You :)
by Tenzing 4/22/2011 2:37:42 PM
@Jim Carver anti-matter ????

@Markfm thanks, they move the URL.

@Lethbridgean Thanks Leth. So it really is bogus. Cool.
by Jim Carver 4/22/2011 2:38:23 PM
beam me up, Jim Carver ;)
by Edano 4/22/2011 2:39:08 PM
@Edano A positron is anti-matter.
by Jim Carver 4/22/2011 2:39:24 PM
@Lethbridgean Yep. Metering is only as reliable as the person/agency reporting the numbers.

This is the main page, to then go to the different radiation monitoring sub-pages: www.mext.go.jp (it's in the wiki Links page)

(Or calibrating the meters.)

@Majjham Zazen Excellent. If we have a playlist, we can feed the page in and extract all the vids from it to personal drives.

@radioguy @Jim Carver just sand Email Makin youtube playlist ;-)
by Majjham Zazen 4/22/2011 2:49:30 PM
@radioguy part of the point was to get them in the archive so they are in one place.
@Nancy where's that "smacking forehead" emoticon when you need it.
by radioguy 4/22/2011 3:23:42 PM
Ok the EPA spreadsheet is ready, it's in Excel.
by Bobby1 4/22/2011 3:25:46 PM
@radioguy and all here are the YouTube playlist. I try to focus on the nuclear problem not the earthquake or tsunami . I go continue search next the days and ad to the listh ttp://www.youtube.com/playlist?p=A56D208B90ABC931

@edano This is so far from over. I keep hoping the mainstream media will pay more attention and I'm continually disappointed.

@Bobby1 If you have a google (or gmail) account go to google docs docs.google.com On the left side is a pair of buttons "create new" or "upload" Upload lets you upload and convert a document on your computer and puts it on google docs. Then you jut set sharing to public with the sharing button on the right
@Jim Carver Got it Jim. I having some trouble to upload but I'm will figure out @Nancy I will :-))

Quake map looks like somebody threw tones of pushpins in it. Still going hot and heavy in Japan and S. California quakes.globalincidentmap.com

Perhaps you should consider a dropbox archive - set up across a handful of trusted individuals for write access, everyone else read. Syncronized copies would physically reside in potentially unlimited numbers of locations (perhaps use a removable storage medium vs. putting it on your system drive).

Were is to the FAQ? I think this is also a FAQ ;-)
by Majjham Zazen 4/22/2011 4:06:10 PM
gakuranman.com <== do we have this one? I love finding blogs by passionate people in Japan.
