Relief Efforts for Japanese Catastrophe

When you write a column focusing on the business aspects of an industry, you can sometimes lose sight of the innate good natured leanings of so many people around you.  The ongoing catastrophe in Japan has led to an outpouring of charitable efforts in support of the very difficult times that lie ahead, and it’s served as a reminder of how awesomely powerful we as a society can be when our efforts are directed at a unified purpose.
