A Billion Dollars?
A Billion Dollars?
The next time you hear a politician use the word
"billion," casually, think about whether you want the
politician spending your tax money.
A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one
advertising agency did a good job of putting that
figure into perspective in one of its releases.
a.. A billion seconds ago it was 1959.
b.. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.
c.. A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in
the Stone Age.
d.. A billion days ago no-one walked on two feet on
earth.
e.. A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20
minutes, at the
rate the U.S.government spends it...!!!!

political and emotional expression in the virtual and real worlds

Always one to use my person as a billboard, I rarely go without a political T-shirt. My latest favorite is my November 2 T-shirt, of which I own three.
I love watching the looks on people's faces as they rack their brains. Sometimes they ask me if I'm a scorpio. Typically though, they ask what happened on Nov 2, and I tell them that's the day we're going to take our country back. It's a great conversation starter -- much more so than a partisan shirt, I've found.
I'll soon be in very good company because apparently, Yahoo! made a NOVEMBER 2 t-shirt for their avatars to wear. (An avatar is an image that you can use to represent your online self in blog comments, IM formats, etc.)
Once just flat images, avatars are now becoming more customizable and even dynamic. I just learned a little more about the expressive capacity of avatars here.
Of course, you can get a T-shirt for your real-world self, or a set of iron-on transfers, at www.november2.org or click here.
I highly recommend it. You know what they say about scorpios, right?

The WTC Memorial -How it will Look..!!!
The Memorial: Reflecting Absence
To open in 2009, the Memorial consists of two voids that reside in the original footprints of the Twin Towers surrounded by a forest of oak trees. Each void holds a pool of water filled by waterfalls on all sides. Visitors will descend 30 feet to galleries underneath the waterfalls inscribed with the names of those who died. Designed by Michael Arad and Peter Walker, Reflecting Absence, was selected from more than 5000 entrants from 63 nations which itself was a testament to the universality of the loss.
The Memorial Museum
Adjacent to the two voids, the Memorial Museum will cover over 100,000 square feet underground and will retell the events of the day, display powerful artifacts, and celebrate the lives of those who died. Visitors will be able to touch bedrock and see the slurry wall that so vividly conveys the enormity of the buildings and the enormity of the loss.

When I think about September 11, 2001, I remember how alone I felt that day. Two weeks before, I had moved to Portland, Maine for a new job. (I later learned those hijackers flew right over me on their way to the Boston airport.) Here I was in a strange place and didn’t know anyone. The world had turned upside down. The sense of doom and confusion took me back to when I was a kid in the ‘50s, growing up with the ever-present fear of bombs dropping from the sky. In school we practiced hiding under our desks to protect ourselves. Even then I suspected that was useless, since I knew a bomb would vaporize everything, including me.
I thought that dread had gone. It was only in remission, I guess.
This morning I awoke thinking about that terrible day, and about Katrina and what a mean-spirited, selfish and aggressive country we live in today. For a moment I was back in that same fearful and lonely place. That didn’t last long. Over many years, I have learned to look for the positive places. Today the World Trade Center Memorial Foundation officially launched its new website http://www.buildthememorial.org/. Regardless of how each of us experience and reflect on natural and manmade disasters, building the World Trade Center Memorial – directly on top of the bedrock footprints of those two towers – seems so right and important. It will be a beautiful place to remember, learn and resolve so much pain and loss – present and past. I am proud that EchoDitto helped empower this new internet destination where people will gather to share their 9/11 stories, see what the Memorial will look like, and together again – build it.

Katrina and Global Warming
Katrina and Global Warming
An Associated Press article entitled "Katrina Reignites Global Warming Debate" echoes what many of us are asking. How much of this catastrophe can be blamed on human activities?
As a scientist, my first thought is that a single datum does not make a theory. But there is no question that this storm adds support to the idea that global warming will be very costly indeed. The fact that the Gulf of Mexico was running about one degree Celsius (one to two degrees Fahrenheit) warmer than normal was clearly a factor in Katrina's remarkably fast and severe development. We may be in a natural cycle that makes severe storms more common, but it is reasonable to surmise that the warmer climate is exacerbating that effect.

How bodies and plants repair UV damaged DNA
How bodies and plants repair UV damaged DNA
For the first time, researchers have observed exactly how some cells are able to repair DNA damage caused by the sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The study revealed how the enzyme photolyase uses energy from visible light to repair UV damage.

THE FIRST 10 DAYS
A look back at the immediate aftermath of the attacks.

8 Days in September 2001
8 Days in September
These pictures were taken between 9.11.2001 through 9.18.2001 in Manhattan.
That morning was like any other. I'd overslept and J was on the computer listening to music with his headphones on, messing around with a bridge building simulator. Dad called in the morning to see if we were okay. Of course we were, why wouldn't we be? We were in the dark still.
When he broke the news, I didn't believe him. I thought he was pulling my leg. I opened the window and the first thing I noticed was the smell. Something was burning. I walked out onto the fire escape and saw others on theirs. All eyes looked downtown at the plume of gray and black smoke. Saw the ppl on the street in disblief. I remember feeling shocked and dizzy. Tuesday morning and no downtown traffic, no cabbies clogging Lexington ave. Sound of Armory officers yelling out orders. It was unreal.
I came in and told J about it but he didn't believe me either. He thought I was playing a joke. I turned on the tv but all the channels were kaput excepts for channel 2. Pentagon was hit, it wasn't..was it? The rumors flews like there was no tomorrow. All the planes were accounted for except one. Which one, was it headed for new york too? California? No one knew. It was the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania.
I've never seen J like that, so quiet, so angry. He could not get a word out for about 5 minutes. I asked him if he was scared, but he said no. He said he wasn't afraid of death. I on the otherhand went through a myriad of emotions ranging from being scared, angry and bitter. I cried alot then.
These photos aren't earth shattering or anything like that. I was new to photography then. Just my record of my 45 photos during 8 day in September, 2001.

We’re all concerned about the weather down here on earth. Especially those of us who live in “hurricane central”. But have you ever considered the weather in the rest of the universe? For instance, did you know that today the solar wind speed is 372.9 kilometers per second (231.7 miles per second)? Did you know that on September 7, 2005 solar flares caused electronic communication problems for emergency personnel in hurricane-hit areas of the U.S. Gulf Coast?
