Climbing: Locator bill fails to gain a toehold with climbers

Climbing: Locator bill fails to gain a toehold with climbers

Very interesting and controversial issue in respect to safety/adventure. You should read both sides of the argument, I think they actual do a a descent job explaining the issues. Check out links related to Alpine Style climbing. This essentially is the root of the argument against using personal beacons. Most "alpinists" believe that this is TRUE climbing as you are only using yourself and limited equipment.

The flip side obviously is safety and consideration. If you are lost, people will look for you. If you don't carry and can utilize the beacon then Search & rescue and Family will always look for you.

This Day in History- Thanks Uncle Karl

Technology Review: Massive Offshore Wind Turbines Safe for Birds

So all of the Cape Wind Haters can beat it. They really just petty assholes who take NIMBY attitude. There is no reason for blocking something innately beneficial to the overall capability to harness wind as a power resource. Please take a look at the corresponding article and ask your local politician to give a hoot.

2 men held on bond in Boston hoax case - Yahoo! News

Bombard Time Warner to pay for these guys legal defense. I think that these guys were just doing their job, they were contracted to put up marketing material for show, we should have Dick Parsons in Handcuffs instead of these guys.
