Lost Treasures of Tibet

Very nifty interactive pieces on the restoration work taking place in the ancient monestaries of Mustang. Beautiful shots of the mountain landscapes and crumbling Buddhist murals.

"You may have read recently that the latest Toxic Release Inventory from the EPA showed an overall decrease in the release of toxic chemicals into the environment. The 2003 figure (the latest available) showed a drop of six percent from 2002. That's the good news. The bad news is that the release of one particularly worrisome class of chemicals is on the rise: Persistent bioaccumulative and toxic chemicals (PBTs) -- including dioxins, mercury, and PCBs -- increased by 50 million pounds or 11 percent in 2003. Releases of mercury and mercury-compounds rose by an alarming 41 percent."

Made me think of a headline I spotted last September:

Zack's Haiku Corner...

I'm too lazy to write a journal, so I thought I'd have better luck condensing my daily thoughts into simple, concise haiku format. Writing a mere 17 syllables a day is, hopefully, a goal that even I'm capable of sticking with.

Haiku Number One:

Shrill flock of magpies

they gossip over coffee

I wish for earplugs

Uh....

"Nine members of East Waynesville Baptist Church, including some who had been members there for more than 30 years, claim they were recently voted out of the church because they didn’t agree with Pastor Chan Chandler’s politicizing of the pulpit.

...

The controversy at East Waynesville began in October when Chandler told members they should repent or resign if they planned on voting for John Kerry in November’s presidential election, said Selma Morris, a 30-year member of the church."

see the whole article.

Need Another Reason to Hate Starbucks?

How about censorship? Starbucks refuses to carry Springsteen's new CD. Apparently graphic sexual lyrics just don't go with vanilla lattes and scones. www.nydailynews.com

... and we wonder why college students can't write worth beans.

"Dr. Perelman is one of the directors of undergraduate writing at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He did doctoral work on testing and develops writing assessments for entering M.I.T. freshmen. He fears that the new 25-minute SAT essay test that started in March - and will be given for the second time on Saturday - is actually teaching high school students terrible writing habits."

...

"How to prepare for such an essay? "I would advise writing as long as possible," said Dr. Perelman, "and include lots of facts, even if they're made up." This, of course, is not what he teaches his M.I.T. students. "It's exactly what we don't want to teach our kids," he said."

Cities battle telcoms over free wi-fi

Via DailyKos

"A number of U.S. cities are becoming giant wireless 'hot spots' where Internet users will be able to log on from the beach or a bus stop, a trend that is triggering a fierce backlash from telecom and cable giants...

The trend has prompted an intense backlash from the large telecom and cable providers that sell most broadband access in the United States. At their request, 13 states have passed laws restricting cities setting up their own networks, and several others are considering such bans."
