Dominican, Haiti Floods Death Toll Dominican, Haiti Floods Death Toll Nears 2,000 The death toll from devastating floods and landslides in Haiti and the Dominican Republic rose to at least 1,950 on Wednesday with the discovery of more than 1,000 bodies in a Haitian town. The toll rose dramatically when the bodies were found in Mapou, a rural southeastern Haitian town where communications are poor, said Margareth Martin, the head of the civil protection office for Haiti's Southeast region. Rescue workers dug through mud and debris for bodies three days after torrential rains sent rivers of mud and swirling waters through Hispaniola, the Caribbean island shared by Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Haiti's death toll stood at 1,660, including 1,000 in Mapou, 500 elsewhere in Haiti's Southeast region, 158 in the riverside town of Fond Verettes, and two in the south, at Port-a-Piment. *Um, excuse me here, but WTF is that? 50k? Since when is it acceptable that the world's richest country, known for exploiting the world's poorest countries, won't even send enough aid money TO EVEN BUY A HUMMER! This is a disaster that will likely kill more than 911, and where's the mass media? They're all in a twitter about Kobe Bryant. Bless the people and spirit of Haiti and the Dominican Republic, and bless those who respond with true caring and their best effort.

Lone leopard spotted in Georgia Lone leopard spotted in Georgia A single leopard has been discovered in the former Soviet republic of Georgia, years after the big cats were thought to be extinct in the area. Zoologists were first alerted by some footprints in the Vashlovani State Reserve, which looked far too large to belong to the much smaller lynx. The leopard - now named Noah - was then caught on remote-sensing cameras. jaybird found this for you @ 06:34 in Environment, Ecology & Nature | | permalink

Impossible Objects Is it a Is it a puzzle or is it a magic trick? Impossible objects are difficult to classify. They really aren't mechanical because they don't move (usually) and you don't manipulate any of their parts to solve them. You just look at them and think. And they aren't really a magic trick. There's no performer, at least not when you're dealing with the object. But they have the same "how did they do that" quality that a magic trick has. The puzzle is to figure out how they were made. jaybird found this for you @ 08:05 in Art, Music, Theater & Film | | permalink
Venus clouds 'might harbour life' Venus clouds 'might harbour life' There could be life on the planet Venus, US scientists have concluded in a report in the journal Astrobiology. The existence of life on the planet's oven-hot surface is unimaginable. But microbes could survive and reproduce, experts say, floating in the thick, cloudy atmosphere, protected by a sunscreen of sulphur compounds. jaybird found this for you @ 17:54 in Science, Quantum & Space | | permalink
The Big Lab Experiment Was The Big Lab Experiment Was our universe created by design? Was our universe created? That is, was it brought into being by an entity with a mind? This is a question I began pondering after my recent inquiry into the end of the universe. (For some reason, cosmic mysteries are best contemplated in pairs.) It is the fundamental issue that separates religious believers, ranging from Deists to Gnostics to Southern Baptists, from nonbelievers. To many atheists, the very idea that our world could have been created by a conscious being seems downright nutty. How could anyone, even a god, "make" a universe? jaybird found this for you @ 14:01 in Science, Quantum & Space | | permalink

Nomad vagabonding along the backroads Nomad vagabonding along the backroads of America On the spur of the moment I drove from Maryland to Nevada and Oregon to South Carolina back to Maryland over 5 weeks and 9500 miles. For the majority of the time I lived in a Toyota 4Runner SUV camping in the outdoors. Except for the first week the trip was on back roads and off the highways, the less direct and more difficult the road the better. I had a laptop and GPS and real-time navigation software as a guide in finding off-beat routes. jaybird found this for you @ 22:19 in Radical Undertakings | | permalink
