  8. On Japanese tsunami anniversary, recalling Fukushima effects on ocean

    It&rsquo;s been exactly two years since Japan's devastating earthquake and tsunami.&nbsp;The magnitude 9.0 shaker resulted when a portion of the Pacific plate was pushed into and underneath the North American plate, <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/2011/mar/13/science/la-sci-japan-quake-science-20110313" target="_blank">shifting the position of Earth's axis about 6.5 inches</a> and speeding its rotation by about 1.8 microseconds a day. Memorably, the temblor also set off a gigantic tsunami that leveled homes and disabled the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, leaving rescue crews to scramble to contain the damage. Radioactive water from precipitation, from rivers and from the facility itself poured into the Pacific.

  12. Richard M. Walden, Operation USA's charity buccaneer

    Almost on impulse, almost 35 years ago, Richard M. Walden and a friend rounded up six tons of relief supplies and a jet to ferry them to Vietnamese boat people in Malaysia. Thus was Operation California &mdash; now Operation USA &mdash; born. A Times headline soon called him the "charity buccaneer," a red-tape-slashing contrarian who fretted about the "international web of neglect," and who still has sharp words for relief efforts unmet and relief agencies that don't measure up. He has steadfast celebrity supporters, like Julie Andrews, but the advent of social media that let anyone text a few bucks to Lady Gaga's favorite charity in the middle of a concert has made things harder for brick-and-mortar charities like Operation USA. Walden soldiers on, boldly going where too many charity-come-latelies can only try to go.
