In-stream hydro

The turbine is mounted underwater, on a tethered barge. So, not only is it portable, it requires no dams or other expensive investments, plus there’s very little needed in terms of regulatory processes.
From the company, Hydro Green Power
Hydro kinetic technologies describe the ability to produce zero emission renewable power (energy) from the movement of water. Unlike traditional/ conventional hydropower, which requires an impoundment of water usually created by a large dam, no large infrastructures are required eliminating negative side effects to the environment and marine life.
This is an innovative, inexpensive way to get hydro power in all sorts of new places.
The birth of the Scuppie

A Scuppie is a Socially Conscious Upwardly-mobile Person.
It is the unalienable right of every man, woman and child to wear stylish, 100 percent organic, sweatshop-free cotton apparel, and to feel befittingly righteous about it. There should be no need to choose between a car’s speed and fuel economy; comfort and conservation; luxury and sustainability.
The partial image here is from their Male Scuppie. Check out the complete Male and Female Scuppie on their website images page.
…that not only is it possible to be an environmentalist and own a dinner table made from expensive, endangered Brazilian mahogany, but you get status points by explaining to visitors that was well worth spending the extra money because the designer uses only wood salvaged from 100-year-old houses in Sao Paulo.
The Scuppie Handbook is coming soon.

Israel planning ethnic cleansing in the north of Gaza
The televised report cited high-level security sources as saying Barak intends to plan for the removal of tens of thousands of Palestinians from the northern Gaza Strip
Events like this leave one speechless. What can one say? It is simply an act of bestiality.
All sides here have committed atrocities. All sides, by the standard definition, are terrorist, because they deliberately target civilians. The Yeshiva attack was a calculated attempt to make Israel go insane with rage and massively retaliate - which is precisely what Israeli hardliners want a pretext for doing any way. No doubt, the attack was a response to an Israeli atrocity where Palestinian civilians were killed and maimed. Where will it end? Because there are millions on both sides who just want it over so they can walk the streets without fear of incoming missiles or suicide bombers.

Iraq Veterans Against the War has the schedule for their upcoming Winter Soldier online now. The entire three day event from Mar 13-16 will be available live on the net via video or audio, and archived as well.
IVAW appears to be extremely well-organized, the schedule for Winter Soldier is comprehensive and well thought out. It should get major attention from mainstream media.
Neil Young: Let’s Impeach The President

Let’s impeach the President for lying
And misleading our country into war
Abusing all the power that we gave him
And shipping all our money out the doorWho’s the man who hired all the criminals
The White House shadows who hide behind closed doors
They bend the facts to fit with their new stories
Of why we have to send our men to war

Google Docs

The spreadsheet in the online Google Docs has some seriously useful features you’ll not even find in Excel. It can look up information on the web and return to a cell on the spreadsheet.
For example, “GoogleLookup(’California’, ‘capitol’)” will return “Sacramento.” You can do this with virtually any piece of data, and if Google can find the answer, it will put it in the cell.
Not only that, Google Docs can be made shareable. So, here’s a spreadsheet showing how these functions work.
