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.

Farmville Break
Sometimes I just have to escape for a time to contemplate things from another perspective. Farmville is my virtual weekend getaway to my country estate. It's affordable and pretty low maintenance. More about that here.

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.
