Reactor No. 2 suffered more damage than No. 1, and the earliest those parts can be replaced is Wednesday, Muto said. The cause of the damage was unclear, but seawater was pumped in previously to cool the reactors as an emergency measure after the earthquake."
• Pawlenty enters presidential sweepstakes: "Former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty Monday became the first major Republican candidate to form a presidential exploratory committee – a step that allows him to officially start raising funds for a campaign and to take concrete steps towards mounting a run for the GOP nomination next year."
• Shopping for a car? Buy now before prices jump: "If you're in the market for a new car, but especially if you're looking at a fuel-efficient Japanese model, experts say you're better off buying now because prices will only get higher in coming weeks as the effects of the earthquake in Japan and the unrest in Libya and the Middle East start to be felt."
• Charlie Sheen makes a surprise visit to the Jimmy Kimmel show: "Last night a Charlie Sheen tornado ripped through the Jimmy Kimmel Live set during a segment with Mark Cuban.

On Friday night's "Piers Morgan Tonight", Piers Morgan interviewed Chief P.L.O. representative to the United States, Ambassador Maen Rashid Areikat.

• AT&T-Mobile: AT&T buys T-Mobile USA for $39B: AT&T announced that the new entity would be the biggest in the US with 130 million subscribers. The national mobile carrier choices for US consumers will decrease by one if the purchase of Deutsche Telekom AG's U.S. T-Mobile unit by AT&T (T) passes regulatory hurdles. The $39 billion deal, announced ahead of a major wireless conference in Orlando tomorrow, would create the nation's largest wireless carrier and drop the big US mobile carriers to just three.
• Happy 5th #Birthday @Twitter: The message was cryptic. Two words. No context, no punctuation, just: "inviting coworkers." But that short statement proved to be enough to launch a global phenomenon that has launched careers, reunited long-lost relatives, and even, some would argue, topple dictators. It was the first tweet. Since Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey posted it on March 21, 2006, Twitter has registered nearly 200 million users who now post more than a billion tweets every week.

On last night's "Piers Morgan Tonight", Piers Morgan had an exclusive interview with Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the current state of the Middle East.

For March 18, 2011 – U.N. imposes a no-fly zone on Libya, The crisis at the Japanese nuclear plant gets worse, Morehead State continues to 'dance'
• Libya calls for cease-fire amid foreign military moves: "Libya called for a cease-fire and a halt to military action on Friday, hours after the U.N. Security Council authorized the use of force to protect besieged civilians in Libya. Libyan Foreign Minister Moussa Koussa, speaking to reporters Friday in Tripoli, said that in light of its membership in the United Nations, the country is 'obliged to accept the Security Council resolution that permits the use of force to protect the civilian population.'"
• Japan raises threat level at nuclear plant: "Japan's Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency raised the level for the crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant Friday from a 4 to 5 - putting it on par with the 1979 incident at Pennsylvania's Three Mile Island."
• Japan's death toll climbs to nearly 7,000: "Japan documented more deaths Friday as Prime Minister Naoto Kan sought to reassure a nation reeling from disaster, saying that he is committed to taking firm control of a "grave" situation."
• Weekend full moon the biggest in about 20 years: "Saturday's full moon will be a super "perigee moon" - the biggest in almost 20 years. This celestial event is far rarer than the famed blue moon, which happens once about every two-and-a-half years. "The last full moon so big and close to Earth occurred in March of 1993," said Geoff Chester with the U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington. 'I'd say it's worth a look.'"

• A star emerges and more NCAA notes: "The country met Demonte Harper on Thursday. For the past three seasons — the entire time Morehead State has been on the map in college basketball — the Eagles have been synonymous with one name: Kenneth Faried. They were essentially Faried State ... But when it came time for Morehead’s Shining Moment, what should go down as the greatest play in the history of that institution and its 6,000-person town in Kentucky’s Daniel Boone Forest, the 13th-seeded Eagles had to depend on Harper, their senior point guard. And he delivered the three that knocked No. 4 Louisville out of the dance."
