Small bit of good news here I suppose. I see on the usgs earthquake site that the aftershocks have slowed down. There was one for 5.3 in the past 24 hours but they are fewer and smaller than before. Hopefully this will give them a chance to get supplies in to help these people.
Thanks gleeaikin for the pic links and updates.

This graphic puts Mt. Everest IN China, on the China side of the border. Must be a graphic from the ChiComs.
One of Google’s higher-ups died in the quake or the iceslide.
