TERRA 435: Burning the Future: Coal in America

Thu, 03 Jul 2008 01:47 GMT

Do you ever wonder where the juice to charge your iPod was produced? Like over half the electricity in the United States, probably from a coal-fired power plant run on coal from the mountains of West Virginia. This reliance on coal raises a score of questions about people, land, and a region's future. In the first of a three-part series of excerpts from "Burning the Future: Coal in America", we meet some of the West Virginians affected by our country's coal policy and see some of the health and ecological costs wrought by it.

Neighbors Invite Shia Back to Adhamiya

Mon, 30 Jun 2008 01:00 GMT

Baghdad/Adhamiya, Iraq - It became common in Baghdad that if a Sunni family lived in a Shia neighborhood they may be forced to leave and vice versa. Many families were forced by militias to leave their homes if they lived in a neighborhood that was predominantly made up of the other sect. Some of them lost a family member by the hands of militias which pushed them to leave their neighborhood or fled to a nearby country such as Syria or Jordan.

The Iraqi government has been working on assisting some of these displaced families to return to their houses either by providing them an amount of money, or utilizing the growing Iraqi military and police to provide security in the neighborhoods they used to live in. So far the efforts of the Iraqi government have yielded only small results. It remains to be seen whether the current security situation will remain stable. Due to ongoing worries about their security, thousands of families are still living far from their neighborhood and many continue to reside outside of Iraq.

One of the many areas hit hard by internal displacement is Adhamiya. More than 1000 families have been displaced from this neighborhood under the threat of death. Most of them were Shia but some of them were Sunni. The Shia families there were given the choice to become Sunni or die. For some Sunni families the reasons were different. Perhaps one of their family members worked with the Iraqi government or the United States, in some cases simply working with any foreign NGO may cause displacement. Organizations such as the Muslim Scholar's Association and the Sahwa or “Awakening” councils are endeavoring to find their own solutions to the problem in Adhamiya. The Sahwa Councils are attempting to provide security and eliminate the control of other militias or insurgents within Adhamiya, in order to provide a safe place for displaced or threatened families and encourage them to return home.

The current situation in Baghdad appears to be better than it has been between 2006 and 2007, but continues to be haunted by the worries of its residents. After years of violence and uncertainty, it seems that many people simply don’t have much faith that their government or other groups, whether the United States, Sahwa Forces, or others will be able to keep the peace.

News flash - Martian dirt is made of ... dirt! This is actually pretty exciting though, because it means we may be able to grow earthly plants there someday.

Twitter is growing fast ... but are reliability issues going to turn it into the Friendster of micro-blogging? Friendfeed is catching on fast, and people are impressed with its many new features.

Lots of Microsoft's customers are ignoring its unloved Vista OS. But who'd'a thought that Intel would be among them? The rumor is all but confirmed.

Totally bizarre - the founder of the aptly-named Psuedo.com (which burnt through over $25 million in investor capital) is saying it was a "fake company" - or more accurately, a piece of "conceptual art." With Klimt's, Pollock's, and Picasso's fetching north of a hundred million bucks, maybe investors got a great deal. But the guy's taking no chances - having made his announcement from the safety of a remote Ethiopian town. Oh - and he's kind of blaming the New York Times.

Microsoft is apparently paying something north of a $100 million for PowerSet. I was not wowed when I tested the service out in my May 13th episode. But it's a lot cheaper than Yahoo.

Google is getting into the game of shifting media from your computer & the Internet to your TV. This is crowded turf, with Microsoft and Apple amongst those staking claims. But is it the start of a frontal assault on the living room?

Keeping cops and crooks honest - it's the Pistol Cam!
