POPSHundreds killed by Burma Cyclone A trishaw driver in Rangoon, who did not want to be identified, complained that the security forces were not doing enough to help. "Where are all those uniformed people who are always ready to beat civilians?" he asked. "They should come out in full force and help clean up the areas and restore electricity." There is a video but you have to go to the site to see it.

POPSAntarctic glaciers surge toward ocean Much higher up the course of the glacier there is evidence of a volcano that erupted through the ice about 2,000 years ago and the whole region could be volcanically active, releasing geothermal heat to melt the base of the ice and help its slide towards the sea.

POPSFelix slams Ashore, while Hurricane Henrietta approaches from Pacific If you read the entire article, there is a part where one tourist is complaining he didn't get enough Scuba Diving time.(as he was waiting to get on a plane to leave). I can understand how one might be upset if a planned vacation is "ruined". But why book in hurricane season? People are going to lose their homes, some will lose their lives, families will be torn apart, and in the midst of this it seems to be the height of selfishness to only express concern about a vacation cut short.

POPSMake Your Computer Carbon Neutral Click the "donate for free" button once a day to offset 1 lb of carbon daily. This estimate assumes you were on your computer for about 3-4 hours today. You can decrease your emissions by switching on “sleep” mode or turning your computer off if you plan to be away for any length of time. Okay, my computer is on way more than that, but a click a day is better than no click at all, I reckon. (PS) For those who give a sh**, errr... I mean click, below are a few of the other free "click-to-donate" sites. (Got appr. 30 more, so just ask.) I use a little app called DailyRotation (94 kb, no install) to do my daily rounds, so I don't forget anyone. The world need every bit of help it can get I reckon, so get to clickin' folks! .:) www.therainforestsite.com (6 buttons) www.ecologyfund.com (5 buttons) www.redjellyfish.com (2 buttons) www.tree4life.com/ingles/ingles.htm
