Micros copic fragments of plastic are a "major pollutant", floating in the ocean, settling on seabeds, and washing up onshore - with unknown consequences for marine ecosystems, according to a new study. "We've found this microscopic plastic material at all of the sites we've examined," [lead researcher] Dr Richard C Thompson [of University of Plymouth, UK] said. "Interestingly, the abundance is reasonably consistent. So, it suggests to us that the problem is really quite ubiquitous."

Out Following Death Threats

Caller ID Spoofing Business Owner Bails
Out Following Death Threats 09/04/2004 12:59 AM
Last week, we had mentioned the story of a company that was offering calle r ID spoofing for collections agencies and private investigators. Earlier this week, the company officially launched the solution and the press went wild... as did many angry people, apparently. The guy behind the business says he's been inundated with angry calls and emails, and even had a death threat taped to his door. The anger apparently isn't so much about the fact that he'll be spoofing phone numbers, but that he's basically revealing this technology commercially that was previously only used by hackers and crackers, who now feel he's somehow selling out. In fact, the response has been so crazy that he has decided to sell the business -- though, the stories of death threats probably won't do much good for the selling price, which makes this whole story seem a bit odd. Why not just shut down the service? If people are really pissed that he's making money off of this, won't selling it off be just as bad? Something doesn't seem right about the whole story.

The Death of a Room-Mate... Tony
Meilandt (1957-2004)

The Death of a Room-Mate... Tony
Meilandt (1957-2004) 04/09/2004 04:01 PM
I didn't intend this blog to become a death trip, and I'm determined that it won't be in the long run, but right now I have another obituary to write. I'm at the desk in my New York apartment. Right here, sitting in the same chair I now occupy, surrounded by the same mementos and miscellaneous layers of human deposition, my angel-hearted room-mate Tony Meilandt dropped dead a week ago last night. He was only 46 years old. I'm not sure what killed him. The New York Coroner's Office has not rendered an official opinion and, based on my previous experience with that great bureaucratic sphinx, is unlikely to do so any time soon. As we have seen, mysterious death in New York City often remains mysterious for many months. It might have been the flu that got him. For maybe ten days, Tony had been very sick with the same predatory virus that's been berserking around the planet all winter. When I talked to him on the phone four days before he died, I could hear an alarming whistle in his lungs. I told him to go to a hospital. He told me he had, but that they had sent him home. Figures. Last time I went to an emergency room in New York, the "John Doe" in the cubicle next to me died unattended. He might have been cut down by that strange scythe that sometimes slices through the re-ascending. After a long season in hell, Tony's life had just been paroled. He had been something of a legend once in the music business, having taken a major production role in much of Herbie Hancock's best recorded output and worked closely with Bill Laswell, Miles Davis, Ornette Coleman, and many other jazz greats. But then he got lost in a blizzard of the bad powders that often snow on success in the music business. He wandered in that white-out for about a decade and managed, by all accounts, to piss off just about everybody in the industry during that time. But, by the time I met him, a little over a year ago, he'd gone through rehab, had been clean for a good long spell, and was rebuilding his career very rapidly. In short order, he put together a record album for the Olympics, began managing Bill Laswell's career again, and had entered into a partnership with East End Management, which manages a number of artists, including Tom Petty and Fleetwood Mac. He started sharing rent on my Chinatown pad last summer. Though he was in residence as sporadically as I was, I was always happy when we coincided. There was something pure in him, a radiative sweetness that made his abundant appreciation capable of penetrating even its most skeptically armored targets. Not everybody liked Tony at first, but everybody liked him eventually. A lot of people loved him. I certainly did....

"Police charity" telescammers' creepy

"Police charity" telescammers' creepy
implied threats 09/23/2004 04:05 PM
Mark Frauenfelder: Jason Powell sez: I've had a rash of telemarketer calls in the last few days for "Police" or "Sheriff's" charity organizations. In the past, I've always just said "take me off your list" and hung up--problem solved. However, this latest call troubled me on new levels. I'm not sure I'd call it intimidation, but some of the comments did have a hint of something just slightly less than that. For example, the caller made several references to my home address..."how's it going out there on Elm Avenue today?" I guess the intention is to play on the fear that if I don't donate, I can expect trouble (“we know where you live”). The only thing that troubled me about that is the idea that they're using this tactic on others who would fall for it.

Suspicion of these callers led me to Google for answers, and I wasn't too surprised by what I found. While some of these calls are outright scams, the other, more "legitimate" callers do little to nothing for the groups they claim to represent--in most cases, the telemarketing company working on behalf of a police charity give as little as 15% of the "take" to the charity.

Below are some links I found of interest. I also ran accross the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement site’s page that warns specifically about fraudulent charitable organizations: "They also call claiming to represent police or firefighter organizations. They typically ask victims for donations to help police officers buy equipment or to assist families of officers disabled or killed in the line of duty." Link

Additional links:
The Attorney General's site concerning charity telemarketing (Includes a list of what the caller must/can do according to law).

The FTC site concerning charities (Includes information on how to check up on an organization before you donate).
