POPSSeas 'threaten 20m in Bangladesh' Four months after the cyclone, the sea defences are still breached and the island floods with every high tide. Map and satelite view of Gabura Island The chairman of the Gabura Island "union" or council, Shofiul Ajam Lenin, is calling for the embankments to be far higher. "If the current design is not changed then not only my union, but the other unions as well will not exist." The flooding has ruined the island's freshwater supplies and hygiene in the camp is poor. Among those living in tents on a narrow strip of high ground is Asma Khatun, a 25-year-old widow, who is now eager to leave. "I think it is not possible to live in this country any longer. We have to move to other countries. "We can't live here just by drinking this water. It is not possible to live here."

POPSStephen Ashbrook Stephen Ashbrook emerged on the Tempe, Arizona music scene in the mid-1990s while performing with his band Satelite. He later moved on to Portland where he distinguished himself with a unique blend of pop, rock, country, and folk. The guy is good. Real good. Here's one of my favorite ttracks, from Ashbrook's White Baloons album, Carelessly.

POPSKeep the marketing out... A professional organization I belong to had an impromtu meetup in Lively. Yes, unexpected guests arrived and my cartoon was kissed without permission. My cartoon was also invited to watch streaming web content of a "too polite to repeat here" subject. I had participated in the meetup with high hopes that Lively might be the place to hang out with professionals in a virtually social setting. Guess What? I like hanging out in virtual worlds because it is an escape from the barrage of marketing at me. I have to endure advertising and marketing messages on the radio, on TV, cable, satelite...the Internet is one huge bombardment of marketing messages. I want virtual worlds to be a respite from marketing. I want a place to have a 3d representation of myself where I can collaborate with others. My advice: KEEP YOUR MARKETING OUT OF VIRTUAL WORLDS.
