The ducks don't care
Steps away from the demonstration I'm sitting in the serenity of nature at the edge of the duck pond. Occupy Wall Street or Occupy nature. Contention and harmony co-exist within meters of each other. It is each individuals choice which reality we choose to inhabit.
Learning to blog on mobile
I'm sitting at Mix, a coffee shop in Lithia Plaza in Ashland Oregon, Android in hand. Steve Jobs passed just days ago. #OccupyWallStreet has morphed into #OccupyEvereywhere and is being represented just a few steps away from me as #OccupyAshland - a small but valiant crew. I am authoring and uploading this blog on Google technology. The October revolution of 2011 is underway, and the times they are a changin'. Out with the old, in with the new. History in the making to be documented on my hand-held device.

Countdown to the beginning of the End of the World
According to Harold Camping of FamilyRadio.com, The end of the World begins May 21st at 6pm, in whatever timezone you are in, so I have created a countdown widget set to 6pm, May 21st, 2011 on Kiritimati, Kiribati, which borders the International Dateline at it's eastern most point.
By Campings predictions, the people of Kiritimati will be the first to experience the beginning of the end of the world which, according to Camping, will begin with a massive earthquake, resurrection, return of Christ, judgement day and rapture. Those who remain on earth will then enter a five month period of horror and suffering that will conclude October 21st with the complete destruction and end of the world.
Survive the rapture and you're still here to celebrate? Check out the facebook organized after the rapture looting party. See you there!

R.E.M. - It's the end of the world
It's a day early, but I figure if I post this tomorrow no one will be around to watch it 'cause we'll all be raptured, dead, or too busy dealing with the final judgement and destruction of the world to bother. Besides, the net will probably be down.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

Surging BRIC middle classes are eclipsing global poverty
"This dwarfs even the 19th-century middle class explosion in its global scale," noted economists Dominic Wilson and Raluca Dragusanu in a 2009 Goldman Sachs report. And they predicted, "the pace of expansion ... is likely to pick up."

Amazon Rainforest Deforestation
From Nasa Earth Observatory. Read full article here.
The state of Rondônia in western Brazil — once home to 208,000 square kilometers of forest (about 51.4 million acres), an area slightly smaller than the state of Kansas — has become one of the most deforested parts of the Amazon. In the past three decades, clearing and degradation of the state’s forests have been rapid: 4,200 square kilometers cleared by 1978; 30,000 by 1988; and 53,300 by 1998. By 2003, an estimated 67,764 square kilometers of rainforest—an area larger than the state of West Virginia—had been cleared.

Grandma hacks the internet with shovel
A 75-year-old Georgian woman was despondent following her arrest and subsequent release for alleged cutting a fiber-optic cable in her poverty-stricken village of Armazi -- and causing Internet outages in three neighboring countries.
Facing up to three years in prison, the woman pled her innocence in court Friday. She argued not only that she wasn't responsible for the outage, she doesn't even know what the World Wide Web is.
"I have no idea what the Internet is," Hayastan Shakarian told news agency AFP, arguing between bursts of tears that she lacked the strength to cut through the thick cable.
Shakarian said she had been collecting firewood; police argue the woman was scavenging for scrap metal when she discovered the primary fiber-optic cable which runs through the two countries. Service went down when she apparently hacked into it with a shovel severing the line, officials said.

Power company says smoke spotted at another Japanese nuclear plant
Smoke was spotted at another nuclear plant in northeastern Japan on Wednesday, Tokyo Electric Power Co. said.
The company said smoke was detected in the turbine building of reactor No. 1 at the Fukushima Daini nuclear power plant around 6 p.m. (5 a.m. ET).
Smoke could no longer be seen by around 7 p.m. (6 a.m. ET), a company spokesman told reporters.
The Fukushima Daini nuclear power plant is about 10 kilometers (6 miles) from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, where workers have been scrambling to stave off a meltdown since the March 11 earthquake and tsunami knocked out cooling systems there.
Tokyo Electric Power Co. owns both plants.

Fire at New Hampshires Seabrook Nuclear Power Station
On Monday at 11:43 a.m., officials reported smoke in the "B" Residual Heat Removal vault and the plant's fire brigade was called to the scene. The Residual Heat Removal is a system used to help cool down the reactor.
The smoke was believed to be coming from the elevator power supply equipment.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission spokesman Neil Sheehan said because it took the fire brigade more than 15 minutes to declare the event terminated, the plant is required to tell the outside world.

375-pound shark leaps into boat - US news - Weird news - msnbc.com
"Jason Kresse, 29, of Freeport, and two crew members had been fishing for red snapper about 50 miles into the Gulf of Mexico and were dumping fish guts into the water about 3:45 a.m. Monday when they heard two big splashes in the distance.
"All of a sudden something hit the side of the boat," Kresse told The Associated Press on Tuesday. "He ends up landing on the back of the boat."
The mako shark had apparently been in a rush to feed. It began thrashing around, and Kresse said he and his crew couldn't get close to the 375-pound fish to toss it back in the water. It damaged the boat before dying several hours later."
More and more I have been finding reports of aggressive animal behavior in the Gulf. In this case, as in many others. My suspicion is that these animals are starving to death, their food chain having been severly damaged by the gulf oil spill.
I am not alone in predicting events such as this will become more and more prevalent, in direct proportion to catastrophic habitat destruction due to incidents such as oil spills, and radiation contamination.
I am deeply concerned for the health of the life on this planet. We need to begin living locally and simply NOW. We need to stop mining, stop drilling, stop building and start planting.
Our very lives, and the survival of so many other living things depend on it.

Letter of Concern
| UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY | ||
| BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA 94720 |
May 11, 1999
LETTER OF CONCERN.To Whom It May Concern:
During 1942, RobertE. Connick and I led the "Plutonium Group" at the Universityof California, Berkeley, which managed to isolate the first milligram of plutonium from irradiated uranium. (Plutonium-239 hadpreviously been discovered by Glenn Seaborg and Edwin McMillan.)During subsequent decades, I have studied the biological effectsof ionizing radiation --- including the alpha particles emitted by the radioactive decay of plutonium.
By any reasonablestandard of biomedical proof, there is no safe dose, which meansthat just one decaying radioactive atom can produce permanent mutation in a cell's genetic molecules. My own work showed this in1990 for xrays, gamma rays, and beta particles (Gofman 1990: Radiation-InducedCancer from Low-Dose Exposure). For alpha particles, thelogic of no safe dose was confirmed experimentally in 1997 by TomK. Hei and co-workers at Columbia University College of Physiciansand Surgeons in New York (Proceedings of the National Academy ofSciences (USA) Vol.94, pp.3765-3770, April 1997, "MutagenicEffects of a Single and an Exact Number of Alpha Particles inMammalian Cells").
It follows fromsuch evidence that citizens worldwide have a strong biological basisfor opposing activities which produce an appreciable risk of exposinghumans and others to plutonium and other radioactive pollution at anylevel. The fact that humans cannot escape exposure to ionizingradiation from various natural sources --- which may well account fora large share of humanity's inherited afflictions --- is no reason tolet human activities increase the exposure to ionizingradiation. The fact that ionizing radiation is a mutagen was firstdemonstrated in 1927 by Herman Joseph Muller, and subsequentevidence has shown it to be a mutagen of unique potency. Mutation is the basis not only for inherited afflictions, but also for cancer.
Very truly yours,
John W. Gofman, M.D., Ph.D.

All Things Nuclear • Where Did the Water in the Spent Fuel Pools Go?
All Things Nuclear • Where Did the Water in the Spent Fuel Pools Go?
One cause of low water levels may have been that water splashed from the pools during the earthquake. I haven’t seen reports suggesting significant water loss by splashing or that the water levels in the pools were low shortly after the earthquake. Also, as noted above, the reported rate of heating of the pools at Units 4, 5, and 6 suggests that the water level was not significantly reduced early on.
Moreover, except in the case of the Unit 4 pool, even if the water levels in the pools had dropped by several meters during the earthquake—corresponding to hundreds of tons of water being spilled—the heating and boiling times to expose the fuel would still be too long to account for very low water levels in the pools.
A second possible cause of the low water levels is that the pools at Units 2, 3, and 4 all developed significant leaks. Some reports said that a leak was suspected in the pool of Unit 4 and possibly in Unit 3. This analysis suggests that all three pools may be developed leaks.
Dave Lochbaum has suggested a common failure mode for leaks in the spent fuel pools. Large doors in the side of the pools are equipped with rubber tubes that are inflated to seal around the door. Even if these seals were not damaged, without power to run the pumps that keep the seals inflated, they can lose air over time and create leaks around the door. Such leaks may not show up immediately since it could take some time for the seals to lose air pressure.
The pumps for these seals currently do not have backup power so leaks of this kind can result from an extended loss of power from the grid. This is a vulnerability of this type of plant design that could happen elsewhere, including at a number of plants in the the US, and needs to be addressed.

Efforts to search for children orphaned by quake face challenges
Child welfare specialists have gathered from various parts of the country for this unusual mission under the initiative of the central government.
Miyagi and Fukushima prefectures, the other prefectures that were most severely damaged, are also preparing to accept those specialists and are expected to request their dispatches soon.
In Iwate, 17 specialists including psychologists and child minders from nurseries in Hokkaido, Aomori, Akita, Tokyo and Kanagawa have arrived. On Saturday, they met local counterparts and started their searches in the cities of Kamaishi, Ofunato and Rikuzentakata and the town of Otsuchi.
The experts will initially work in groups of three and look for children without parents at evacuation shelters along with people in charge at the shelters.
If there are any children who have no place to go, the specialists are planning to entrust them to temporary care homes at child consultation centers or host parents.

Radioactivity levels soar in Japan seawater
World news - Asia-Pacific - msnbc.com
Radioactivity levels are soaring in seawater near the crippled Fukushima Daiichi plant, Japan's nuclear safety agency said on Saturday, two weeks after the nuclear power plant was hit by a massive earthquake and tsunami.
Even as engineers tried to pump puddles of radioactive water from the power plant 150 miles north of Tokyo, the nuclear safety agency said tests on Friday showed radioactive iodine had spiked 1,250 times higher than normal in the seawater just offshore the plant.
A senior official from Japan's Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency, Hidehiko Nishiyama, said the contamination posed little risk to aquatic life.
"Ocean currents will disperse radiation particles and so it will be very diluted by the time it gets consumed by fish and seaweed," he said.
He initially said the high radiation reading meant there could be damage to the reactor, but he later said it could be from venting operations to release pressure or water leakage from pipes or valves.
"There is no data suggesting a crack," he said.
Nuclear watchdog the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said on Friday there had not been much change in the crisis over the previous 24 hours.
"Some positive trends are continuing but there remain areas of uncertainty that are of serious concern," agency official Graham Andrew said in Vienna, adding the high radiation could be coming from steam.
When TEPCO restored power to the plant late last week, some thought the crisis would soon be over. But two weeks after the earthquake, lingering high levels of radiation from the damaged reactors has kept hampering workers' progress.
At Three Mile Island, the worst nuclear power accident in the United States, workers took just four days to stabilize the reactor, which suffered a partial meltdown. No one was injured and there was no radiation release above the legal limit.
At Chernobyl in the Ukraine, the worst nuclear accident in the world, it took weeks to "stabilize" what remained of the plant and months to clean up radioactive materials and cover the site with a concrete and steel sarcophagus.
Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan said on Friday the situation at Fukushima was "nowhere near" being resolved.
Meanwhile, the Japanese government has prodded tens of thousands of people living in a 12- to 18-mile zone beyond the stricken complex to leave, but insisted it was not widening an evacuation zone.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano has said the residents should move because it was difficult to get supplies to the area, and not because of elevated radiation.
An official at the Science Ministry however confirmed that daily radiation levels in an area 18 miles northwest of the plant had exceeded the annual limit.
Vegetable and milk shipments from near the stricken plant have been stopped, and Tokyo's residents were told this week not to give tap water to babies after contamination from rain put radiation at twice the safety level.
It dropped back to safe levels the next day, and the city governor cheerily drank tap water in front of cameras.

Atlantic oil spill threatens endangered penguins
This image made available by Britain's Royal Society for the Protection of Birds on Tuesday March 22, 2011 shows three oiled rock hopper penguins on the island chain of Tristan da Cunha. From U.S. news - Environment - msnbc.com
Thousands of endangered penguins have been coated with oil after a cargo ship ran aground and broke up on a remote British South Atlantic territory, officials and conservationists said Tuesday.
Tristan da Cunha's conservation officer, Trevor Glass, said oil was encircling Nightingale Island and called the situation "a disaster."
The territory's British administrator, Sean Burns, said more than half of about 500 birds gathered by rescue workers had been coated in oil. An environmentalist at the scene estimated that 20,000 penguins might be affected.
Tristan da Cunha is home to some 200,000 penguins, including almost half the world's total of northern rockhopper penguins. The bird is classed as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources.
How many of these disasters must we experience before we halt our addictive dependency on oil? How much of the earth do we need to kill before we realize our own survival is dependent upon the species we are massacring to support our lifestyle?

The Merri-Go-Round is afire . . . now what?
By Mateo Geoly
what can i say friends?
love like it's your last day on earth...
all the work done to improve,
become,
doesn't it all come down
to this anyway?
no matter how beautiful the ladder
or how grand the sights from 'on high'?
here, rooted & plain,
the stars aren't particularly
'distant'
and Wonder lets a mere breeze create
a smile from the gut...
from
outa nowhere.
this
is the place of reconing
where finally,
finally life is let through the stories
that bind the sky we are
to tomorrows
and what memory's chains march fourth
as clothing
atop reality
and no frontier...
what can i say now of freedom
but love,
love the mere fact,
the plain miracle of having breath
and innocence once frightfully flown
alights again for keeps-
and if that's not enough,
have the audacity,
the courage to seek behind the words;
be lived
step by infantile step
by what responds as we peek into
what's now breathing us,
thundering an unmistakable
'hello'
from inside out
and vice versa.
By grace of Allah, Brahman, God,
by grace of your child, lover, friend,
by grace of whatever moves you
(assuming you are moved
now and again
by something inexplicably real
and seek
to know that)
stay awhile where this tide of breath
happens
all by itself
and I or some other will meet you
in laughter and celebration
here where roars simple
life
as it speaks
on its own terms
here
through every imagined obstacle
and every seeming veil.
Maybe we'll get together and play
a play
such that this land's been crying for...
no more entertainment,
no more 'occasional sparks'...
shine baby,
the merry-go-round's afire,
shine.

A Hopi Elder Speaks
"You have been telling the people that this is the Eleventh Hour, now you must go back and tell the people that this is the Hour. And there are things to be considered . . .
Where are you living?
What are you doing?
What are your relationships?
Are you in right relation?
Where is your water?
Know your garden.
It is time to speak your Truth.
Create your community.
Be good to each other.
And do not look outside yourself for the leader."

What are your relationships?
Are you in right relation?
Where is your water?
Know your garden.
It is time to speak your Truth.
Create your community.
Be good to each other.
And do not look outside yourself for the leader."
Then he clasped his hands together, smiled, and said, "This could be a good time!"
"There is a river flowing now very fast. It is so great and swift that there are those who will be afraid. They will try to hold on to the shore. They will feel they are torn apart and will suffer greatly.
"Know the river has its destination. The elders say we must let go of the shore, push off into the middle of the river, keep our eyes open, and our heads above water. And I say, see who is in there with you and celebrate. At this time in history, we are to take nothing personally, Least of all ourselves. For the moment that we do, our spiritual growth and journey comes to a halt.
"The time for the lone wolf is over. Gather yourselves! Banish the word struggle from you attitude and your vocabulary. All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.
"We are the ones we have been waiting for."
