For his visionary and organizational role in creating the World Wide Web, Tim Berners-Lee was dubbed a knight by Queen Elizabeth II.

Queen Elizabeth II dubbed Tim Berners-Lee a knight on Friday, in recognition of his contributions to the World Wide Web. Berners-Lee, in a ceremony at Buckingham Palace, was dubbed a Knight Commander, the second highest rank of the Order of the British Empire. For Berners-Lee, a British citizen living in the United States, the knighthood marked the latest honor he has received since creating the protocols for the World Wide Web in the early 1990s.

Sir Timothy's response was wholly consonant with the spirit of the Web's creation :

"I am humbled by this great honor," Berners-Lee said. "The Web came about through an ongoing collaboration with my fellow investors and developers worldwide. Everyone in the Internet community should be recognized by this honor."

Tropical Gardenia

Tropical Gardenia 04/09/2004 04:12 PM

A visit to Gardenia Tropical Garden and back.

I happened to notice a brochure for the Gardenia Tropical Garden by accident and was curious about it since I hadn't ever seen or heard anything mentioning it before. The garden opened in April 2001 and is situated in Viikki next to the Viikki-Vanhankaupunki bay nature reserve.

The garden is small, as the map will show, but it has a lot of lovely specimens packed into it. As soon as you enter the house you know you are in the tropics with mist raining down from above. It's warm, moist and green which is a welcome change of scenery after a long grey winter. It's quiet except for the hiss of misting systems overhead. Just beyond the courtyard of potted mimosa trees, there's an even more humid enclosed section housing a koi pond, bananas, some exotic ferns, vanilla and other tropicals. They also host classes in gardening and other horticultural topics for hobbyists and children. It's a lovely little garden, but having worked in research at the Missouri Botanical Garden with the Climatron, it loses some of the grandeur. It's funny how the US makes everything so big, so large and so grand most of the time that it tends to spoil anything less elsewhere. The Climatron is a truly amazing building that I used to walk through fairly often at lunchtime. It always looked like a spaceship nestled in a grove of trees and, in winter, it would be glowing late into the night making it look even more out of this world. I'd guess that Gardenia has the same look to it in the depths of the November darkness.

World's last tropical rainforest

World's last tropical rainforest 02/10/2004 02:44 AM

The price of food and reasonable medical care have fallen so much that the world population swells to levels scarcely imaginable 200 years ago.  Whenever you get a bunch of people together in a tropical climate they inevitably seem to say to each other "Let's go out and cut down all of the trees in the jungle so that we can grow crops or graze cattle."

The last tropical rainforest left will very likely be the one right here in central Panama for it supplies one thing that is undeniably critical for the operation of the Canal:  rain.  The heart of the 80 km-long Canal is a big lake, 26 meters above sea level.  Every transit of a ship through the Canal requires that 52 million gallons of fresh water drain out of this lake into the Caribbean and Pacific.  The water is replenished from surrounding rainforest.  One thing that people in this part of the world have learned is that when you cut down all the trees it changes the local climate, generally cutting the amount of rain that falls.

Panama is one of the few places in the world where you don't need a hippie environmentalist to talk up the value of the rainforest.  Here everyone knows what the rainforest is worth... $600 million per year in tolls.

Bad Medicine

Bad Medicine 06/24/2005 08:42 PM

Every once in awhile a story comes along that you can't summarize or add to, all you can do is urge people to read it. Rob Waters, the guy who recently blew the lid off the irresponsible prescription of antidepressants to children even though the pharma companies knew these drugs heightened the risk of suicide, is back, writing in Mother Jones about a case of a 13 year old girl, Aliah Gleason, caught under the outrageous Texas law that allows government psychiatrists beholden to big pharma to barge into schools, subject students to compulsory psychological tests, and mandate expensive and controversial drug and incarceration treatments. Please read the full story. The outcome in Aliah's story, after she was seized by the government from her parents: The Gleasons would not be allowed to see or even speak to their daughter for the next five months, and Aliah would spend a total of nine months in a state psychiatric hospital and residential treatment facilities. While in the hospital, she was placed in restraints more than 26 times and medicated—against her will and without her parents' consent—with at least 12 different psychiatric drugs, many of them simultaneously. As reported last year in the British Medical Journal, Bush wants to expand this invasive travesty to a national program with the grotesque name "New Freedom Initiative". This boggles the mind. How can an administration that claims to want to minimize the role of government justify this gestapo-like intrusion into citizens' private lives in the absence of any crime being committed? Why are the legacy media not investigating the aggressive lobbying of big pharma for laws and programs that are blatantly designed to sell their most expensive and experimental products, and test them on children, our most vulnerable citizens? And how can all of this be tolerated in a nation that calls itself  "the land of the free"?

Since my accident I have been to the x-ray room 7 times to catscan three times and one MRI. I am sure my insurance company will be happy with the bill these have been invaluable in evaluating the before and after results of my surgery and to track the healing progress.

Today while on a non-standard follow up to try and determine the source of a some isolated pain I have been having they pulled out a dozen images and did some quick comparison. They used a technique where the 2 images are loaded and then major differences are pointed out in affected areas. Being nothing was found they think I have a nerve causing the pain or isolated muscle spasms.

I left the clinic feeling relieved that nothing had shifted and not looking forward to taking the new prescription. For those of you that have ever taken flexirol (spelling is probably wrong) you will understand why I have not been posting much.

My favorite one is the one on War Psychiatry, which includes summaries of studies that have been done on veterans of WWI, WWII, Korea, and Vietnam, and another section on POWs and their phychiatric reactions (perhaps it might explain some things about Kerry or McCain?). Other topics include Medical Aspects of Harsh Environments (Vol. 1), Medi cal Aspects of Chemical and Biological Warfare, and Medical Consequences of Nuclear Warfare (<-- pdf file).

This AP story about the failure of air traffic control communications in southern California marks an interesting milestone in the American culture of victimhood.  Pilots and passengers were the ones at risk but "Three [FAA ATC] workers filed injury claims, saying they were traumatized by seeing flights veer toward one another on radar without being able to do anything."

In a society where "software and medicine are the only things that regularly fail," the last line of the article was not too surprising:  "Ghaffari said a backup computer system was activated, but it failed too."

[This let ter from an FAA controller published by avweb.com might inspire some young folks looking for career ideas.]
