Activists set up a blockade to stop a coal train en route to Duke Energy’s Marshall coal plant May 3, 2012 and branded it with the Apple logo. The train is carrying coal extracted from the mountains of Appalachia using the most destructive form of mining, mountain top removal. Mountaintop removal coal will be burned at the Marshall coal plant, sold to the North Carolina grid, and will eventually be used to power Apple’s Maiden, NC data center, currently under construction.

Spring Break! Llegan dos semanas para expirar, relajar la espalda, y levantar un poco la cabeza para entender mejor lo que estamos haciendo y si merece la pena.
El exilio se me ha hecho un lugar cómodo. Formo parte de un nuevo país, pero no lo suficiente como para sentirme comprometido y frustrado por los vaivenes de su política doméstica. Y estoy lo suficientemente lejos de la patria como para relativizar el ruido que de allí llega. Todo pasará.
Hoy saliendo de la Sterling me he dado un paseo por la Beinecke Library. Entre manuscrito y manuscrito me he tropezado con la primera edición de la biblia de Gutemberg. Ese libro, señores, es el primer libro impreso en la historia de la humanidad. Y áera precioso ("handsomest", lo adjetivaba la etiqueta). Entre línea y línea me acordé del libro de Jared Diamond (Guns, Germs, and Steel: the Fates of Human Societies), un viejo bestseller del New York Times (1999) donde se nos narra la historia de la humanidad de una manera simple pero extremadamente convincente. Partiendo de la pregunta absurda de ¿por qué los españoles conquistaron a los incas y no al revés?, el libro recorre la historia de la humanidad desde la lucha entre los cazadores y los primeros agricultores, y como la densidad de población que permite la agricultura refuerza la fuerza del "número" sobre el nómada, genera una multitud de gérmenes con la que exterminar a las sociedades no agrícolas, y permite el poder centralizado, la escritura, y otras variables básicas para el paso del poblado a la tribu, y de ahí al estado.
El resto de la historia de la humanidad y la supremacía de unas sociedades sobre otras ya ha sido determinado por la técnica y concretamente, hasta el siglo pasado, por el dominio del acero en todas sus formas bélicas.
Por su parte, el libro de Jeffrey Sachs que estoy leyendo en la foto es una compilación de buenas intenciones y un recetario de soluciones demasiado ambiguas. Esperaba más. Me gustan sus anécdotas, pero no encuentro la solución a la pobreza ahí, a pesar de que el título parece vendértela.

Since my laptop could not handle half the content of a can of beer (the pussy) and stopped working, I took out all the precise tools I have here in Japan and started my quest to save the SSD harddrive... will look for a case tomorrow.

Saving Forgotten Warriors At Sweet Tater Festival
We spent a few minutes with Jeremy Hogan and Trent Winstead of Saving Forgotten Warriors at this weekend’s Sweet Tater Festival at Smith Lake Park.
The pair had their spacious booth set-up at the far corner of the festival. They were a big drawn with lines going as far as 15 people deep.
Beyond the profound goals of the organization and their heroic efforts on behalf of military veterans in Cullman, their booth featured a water dunk tank. This watery attraction was simply too much to resist for many festivals goers. At $1 per throw, Saving Forgotten Warriors was able to generate substantial donations to support their cause.
In this interview, both Jeremy and Trent explain the reasons Saving Forgotten Warriors exists and how they plan to continue to move forward into the future.

Leprosy can damage the nerves required to blink which can cause cataracts and even blindness if the cornea dries enough to crack. Many cataract surgeries can restore vision and give back the independence they had prior to contracting leprosy.
St Peter, Prickwillow, Cambridgeshire
An 1860s bootscraper, made by a local blacksmith no doubt, at the abandoned church of St Peter.
The war memorial of this tiny parish has more than thirty names on it, including two members of my Cross family ancestors. The memorial sits in the middle of the village beside the River Lark, where it must have been the pride of generations. Behind it stood the village shops, the post office, the pub and, opposite, the church: but the shops, post office and pub are now all closed, and the church has been abandoned to vandals and the elements. The village is now little more than a commuter settlement for Ely, straggled along a busy road. Only the war memorial remains unchanged.

The 82nd Combat Aviation Brigade medevac crews were airborne just minutes after receiving word of the incident, and flew day and night to assist wounded service members and civilians.

I just thought I would take a picture of my energy saving bulb. These bulbs may not actually save energy after all.
