7.2 magnitude earthquake rocks Turkey, killing hundreds
The Japanese Times is reporting that Japan’s Prime Minister Naoto Kan has confirmed his cabinet’s announcement that he is resigning from the country’s top leadership position
A very strong earthquake has rocked northeastern Japan, the same region that was devastated by March’s massive earthquake and tsunami
Japan had a major earthquake hit off the country’s northeastern coast over the weekend prompting tsunami warnings
A massive magnitude-7.8 earthquake has struck off the coast of New Zealand’s Kermadec Islands, triggering a tsunami warning for the region
Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan, who’s political career was already in jeopardy, even before the March 11th earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear crisis, has managed to hold on to power a little longer

In response to pressure from Japan’s government to release a time-line for the nuclear crisis, the Tokyo Electric Power Company said that it plans to reduce radiation leaks in three months and to cool the reactors within nine months
Although a final plan for dealing with the highly damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant isn’t in place, officials affirm that they’ll start searching for bodies near the complex
