Tow Truck Drivers Push Cars into
Tow-Away Zone then hold cars for ransom


Tow Truck Drivers Push Cars into
Tow-Away Zone then hold cars for ransom
03/22/2005 04:59 PM
Mark Frauenfelder: Tian says: "On March 7th, I took photos of a tow truck driver that damages a vehicle then tries to get away in Phoenix.

Sunday night (March 20th), Phoenix news channel 15 used a bait car and discovered that local tow truck company(s) would actually push cars into tow-away zone first, then held the cars as "hostages" for ransom."

I just watched it. The TV crew set up a white SUV as a bait car, and parked it legally. Time and time again, tow trucks would push the car into a red zone, snap a photo, and tow it away. Of course, when the TV crew showed the owner of the tow truck company how his drivers had pushed the car into the red lane, the owner denied responsibility. "I didn't push it," he said.

Arizona lawmakers have been half-heartedly writing legislation to stop this (isn't it illegal to do this already) but the tow truck has so far been able to convince them not to ruin the good thing they've got going. Link to RealMedia file. The segment starts about 20:15 into the broadcast.

Environmental Education Exchange

Environmental Education Exchange
http://www.eeexchange.org/

A Non-for-profit organization providing programs and services for the advancement of environmental literacy in the Unuted States and mexico. Since 1991, the Environmental Education Exchange has developed a diversity of environmental education programs and materials. The varied topics and themes have included water conservation, recycling and waste reduction, biodiversity, endangered species, land use issues, commercialism and the environment, air quality, Sonoran Desert ecology, solar energy, mining and minerals, science literacy, special multicultural/border programs, and more. The majority of resulting programs and materials are available free to educators or other intended audiences. Because the Exchange specializes in program design (and is not primarily a program provider), these products generally are distributed or presented by partner agencies and organizations for which they were developed. This will be added to Education and Distance Learning Resources 2004 Internet MiniGuide.

Instant Environmental Satisfaction


Instant Environmental Satisfaction 06/04/2004 07:05 PM
Greenfleet is an Australian environmental organisation who aim to help citizens offset their own greenhouse gas emmissions. Their Tree Totaller (Australian-based, but I'm sure conversions are easy) works out how many trees you need to offset your annual emmissions, based on private car, home energy use and flights. It's a very neat little flash-app, and at the end it lets you chose to "subscribe" to Greenfleet so they'll plant the necessary number of trees for you. I owe 44 trees, for only AU$103 a year.

Bi-Partisan Environmental Improvement?


Bi-Partisan Environmental Improvement? 04/24/2004 01:55 AM
A new study (in a biggish PDF) from PRI states that most environmental indicators in the United States have improved dramatically since the 1970's regardless of the political party that controls the White House. Notably: "CO (Carbon monoxide) levels were the lowest recorded during the past 20 years" (EPA, 2002, pg 48), ambient lead levels have fallen 98% between 1976 and 2002 (pg 46), and sulfur dioxide has fallen 70% since 1976 (pg 44). (Mostly) Happy Earth Week, right?

OCLC Environmental Scan Now Available


OCLC Environmental Scan Now Available 01/09/2004 10:11 PM

The 2003 OCLC Environmental Scan: Pattern Recognition

"From the document, 'The 2003 OCLC Environmental Scan: Pattern Recognition report was produced for OCLC’s worldwide membership to examine the significant issues and trends impacting OCLC, libraries, museums, archives and other allied organizations, both now and in the future. The scan provides a high-level view of the information landscape, intended both to inform and stimulate discussion about future strategic directions.'

Intro and Flash Graphic of Several Stats Contained in the Report ||| D irect to Full Text" [Resourceshelf]

I saw a piece of this report last month and even had the chance to provide some feedback and comments that made it into the final version. I have not yet had time to read the whole thing, but what I did see was pretty solid and does provide a good overview of current and future issues for libraries. Naturally, I agree with a lot of what's in the report, although I did have an interesting dialogue with the author, which is where some of my quotes come from (mostly in the Future Fr amework section).

Some of the quotes that are not from me but could be because of their "shifted-ness" include:

  • "Wi-Fi, short for wireless fidelity, is a technology that has captured the heart of the information consumer and is filling tables at coffee shops across the world.... Jupiter Research reports that 6 percent of U.S. consumers have used Wi-Fi services in a public place. Why not make the library the first public place for the next 50 percent?
     
  • The high school students interviewed for the scan told us that the technology tool they wanted most was a PDA device that 'contained all the information they needed to do their work.' Vendors are responding. Several vendors now offer PDAs under $100, making it possible for the information consumer to get a PDA for about the price of two video games. Personalization, alert technology and other PDA-friendly information services have brought a world of convenience to the business user. The information consumer is ready for libraries to bring 'all the information they need to do their work' to their PDAs." [Security, authentication, and Digital Rights Management (DRM), p. 5]
     
  • "What if libraries and OCLC and all the other players in the world of structured access to information erased the organizational charts, the artificial separations of content, the visible taxonomies, and the other edifices real or otherwise built to bring order and rationality to what we perceive as a chaotic universe? What if we built an infosphere rich in content and context that was easy to use, ubiquitous and integrated, designed to become woven into the fabric of people’s lives; people looking for answers, meaning and authoritative, trustable results? How do we take information, information sources and our expertise to the user, rather than making the user come to our spheres?" [Future Frameworks, p. 5]

It will be interesting to gauge the reaction to this document and to see if OCLC can successfully use it as a springboard to implementing the frameworks discussed (or helping their members to implement those frameworks). I hope they do a follow-up in a year to evaluate its impact on the organization and/or libraries. Personally, an API into WorldCat that could be used as an ISBN lookup service would be pretty high on my list in terms of integration into the web in the user's infosphere (hint, hint).

OCLC is soliciting feedback about the report, so feel free to contribute your thoughts to them.

The Health and Environmental Costs of
War on Iraq
11/12/2003 01:30 PM
"Bring 'Em On:" A Certain Four Horsemen Rein Up to Inquire of The Taunt -- or "The Health and Environmental Costs of War on Iraq (PDF)." An independent survey just released by the UK global health charity Medact, finds that "the war on Iraq and its aftermath exacted a heavy toll on combatants and civilians, who paid and continue to pay the price in death, injury and mental and physical ill health. Between 21,700 and 55,000 people died between March 20 and October 20, 2003." Accord ing to the BBC, the report says that the "conflict and its aftermath have put the most vulnerable in society - women, children and the elderly - at risk", and "there has been a reported increase in maternal mortality rates, acute malnutrition has almost doubled from 4% to 8% in the last year and there is an increase in water-borne diseases and vaccine-preventable diseases."
