]]> {NEWS > BREAKING NEWS} - Are Australian Travel Junkies Destroying the Planet? If you live on an isolated island and want to see the world, you're going to need to fly to get there. No one knows this better than Australians, who are considered some of the most well-traveled people on the planet. But there's one Australian who says her fellow citizens must squash their travel bug for the sake of the environment.  Adele Horin, writing in The Sydney Morning Herald, says her countrymen (and women) are addicted to travel and that all the thermostat adjusting in the world won't mean anything if they continue hopping flights to visit family, attend conferences and explore the world. It's a assessment that's not likely to be well received. For decades, travel has been a major part of life in Oz. After college, young Aussies take a year off to wait tables in London or backpack through South America. Stop at any youth hostel in Europe and you're bound to find at least one person from Down Under. Retirees flush with retirement cash hop a plane to visit the children and grandchildren spread out around the world. Executives and entrepreneurs travel frequently to stay connected in an interconnected global economy. No wonder some of the best guidebooks in the world -- the Lonely Planet series -- are cranked out in Melbourne. Horin says it all has to stop. Every time an Australian boards one of those big Qantas 747s (she calls them "toxic flying machines"), she argues, they're doing enormous damage to the environment. She estimates that a round trip from Sydney to London emits the equivalent of nine tons of CO2 per passengers, twice as much as each person on the planet generates annually through eating, driving, and heating or cooling their homes. Yikes. But does she, or anyone else, have the right to lecture Australians about their travel habits? It's not that easy, Adele. First off, Australia is not only an island, it's an island in the middle of nowhere. London is 10,000 miles away from Sydney. Tokyo and Shanghai are 5,000 miles away. Singapore, an important financial hub for Australia, is 4,000 miles away. And the country is not exactly a Martha's Vineyard-size island -- a coast to coast drive, much of it through the desert, takes days. All that air travel accounts for just 1 percent of Australia's total greenhouse gas emissions. Compare that to 1.5 percent worldwide and 3.5 percent in the U.S. and you wonder if Aussies are doing that much damage. And flying is still less polluting, overall, than driving - 10 percent of Australia's GHG emissions come from cars; that figure is 14 percent worldwide. Australians are some of the most environmentally conscious people I've met (not surprising, considering that the Great Barrier Reef is dying and part of the country is suffering through a massive drought), but Horin suggests their propensity for travel make them hypocrites. In much of the world, cities, forests, beaches and mountains can be reached by train or car. Is it fair to punish Australians because they don't have this luxury? Yes, emissions are a huge concern, and if travel-junkie Australians are contributing disproportionately, then this needs to be taken into account. But is it fair to ask residents of an isolated island nation to suck it up while the rest of us travel freely? Post updated 11:30 a.m. PDT.

]]> {RESOURCES > NEWS AND MEDIA} - Scott Brown Rails Against Machineless Time Travel I fear for the future of time travel. Not the real thing: That seems to be coming along swimmingly, according to a handful of renegade physicists (more on that in The Future! of this column). No, I'm more worried about that venerable pop institution fictional time travel. It's getting airier, subtler, distressingly less Rube Goldbergian: No fewer than four extant network shows — Heroes, the soon-to-return Lost, and two newcomers, Life on Mars and Fringe — involve some form of time travel minus any obvious chronos-crunching machine. The new time travelers epoch-hop on pure longing, head injury, or strength of will alone — sizzling portals and sparking gizmos are now rendered beside the point. Sure, some might see this as the genre maturing, but to me it looks an awful lot like downsizing. Hello? McFly? Whither the DeLoreans of yesteryear? Outta time, it seems. Which says something about The Present. Time-travel stories are wonderfully dated, pristine core samples of the ages that birthed them. In A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1889), an early instance, Mark Twain was essentially refighting the Civil War in satire. His mode of transport? A bump on the head. Twain was in the machine age but not of it. But just a few years later in 1895, H. G. Wells embraced the industrial: The Time Machine was an au courant postcolonial parable, but more to the point, it described time travel via device in detail — and became a timeless source of inspiration for future generations of geeks. One of these is Ronald Mallett, a University of Connecticut physics professor who is, in all seriousness, working on a time machine. As you might expect, his tastes fall along the gizmo end of the spectrum: "I'm into the realm of technology and control. My leaning is definitely toward science fiction based on some sort of instrumentality." Mallet's design involves a circulating ring laser that could hypothetically twist spacetime the way a spoon swirls coffee. Time machines stayed in fashion through the atomic age, undergoing both design and thematic updates that often cast them as vehicles for cautionary tales of science gone awry: See Ray Bradbury's seminal short story A Sound of Thunder (the "butterfly effect" urtext) and the BBC's Doctor Who. The sober political retrenchments of the '70s gave rise to Time and Again and Somewhere in Time, in which time travel is a form of reflective meditation, accomplished via hypnosis. In the '80s, heavy metal resurged with Back to the Future and The Terminator, two films that differed radically in theory and tone (BTTF's zippy Freudian destiny-defiance versus T1's grim, apocalyptic determinism) but shared the muscular, plutonium-fueled ethos of the Reagan era. Quantum Leap may have been light on tech, but it was almost neoconservative in its morality: Sam Beckett traveled the timeline, righting wrongs — the continuum's beat cop. And Bill and Ted's phone booth? A thing of naive, idiotic, self-congratulatory excellence, much like triumphal glasnost America itself. For these time travel shows, history was like other world problems — ornery but correctable. By 1991, Terminator 2's happy ending seemed to be telling us that the timeline was finally fixed. And then, for the rest of the '90s, the time machines were scrapped. We didn't need them anymore. That's been the case even as, in the last couple of years, time travel has returned to the cultural forebrain — sans the machines. Lost's Desmond has seizures of chronology fueled not by plutonium but by romantic longing and the drive for redemption; for Heroes' Hiro, era swapping is a personal test of will; and the time traveler in Life on Mars may either be trapped in the '70s or a coma victim dying of guilty nostalgia. (Talk about a parable for our times!) Methodology-wise, though, we're practically back to King Arthur's Court. This is time travel in the cloud era: The DeLorean would never even pass emissions, and classical Wellsian futurism has given way to pure wish fulfillment. But in the next yet-to-be-writ age of time-travel fantasy, I say we re-commit to the machine. Be it Mallett's circulating ring laser (Spike Lee has already bought the film rights to the prof's life story — really) or a mylar-sided Prius (Mr. Spielberg, that one's on the house), let's mechanize something, not just squint hard and wish. Let's get ambitious again. Let's shoot sparks. Let's burn rubber. Heck, maybe just once, for old time's sake, let's go back and father ourselves.

]]> {LITERATURE > CYBERPUNK} - Forbes Traveler on travel scams (Photos of Carter Hotel here.) Forbes Traveler has an article called "Travel Scams to Avoid" (I'm waiting for the follow-up article, "Travel Scams to Embrace"). Here are a couple of interesting tidbits from the piece. First, the "wad of money" trick: ?I was back in Moscow a few years ago and saw with nostalgia they were still trying to pull the ?wad of money? trick in Red Square,? says veteran travel scribe Robert Reid, author of the Lonely Planet guides to the Trans-Siberian Railway, Central America and Myanmar. ?Some goon rushes by you and drops a wad of dollars?could be more than a thousand?and another goon steps in and picks it up, offering to share it with you. If you take the offer, the other goon will track you down and demand all of the money. I kinda find it cute that they think it can still work?sadly it probably does.? The other tidbit isn't really a scam; it's a warning about the Hotel Carter in New York: Unsuspecting travelers can get scammed into rooms only a few notches above a pig sty, places like the Hotel Carter in New York, which recently topped TripAdvisor?s list of the Top 10 Dirtiest Hotels in America. A manager at the Hotel Carter?who requested anonymity?said, ?We know about the list. We?re doing OK. We?re still busy,? adding, ?But we get many emails saying that it's not fair or not true or something like that.? The TripAdvisor reviews for the Hotel Carter make the place sound so horrible I almost want to stay there for the experience: "Bad Bad Bad Bad Bad hotel. Should this even be called a hotel?" "CARTER = Completely Atrocious Rooms That Encourage everyone to Run-away (FAST!)" ?Don't Stay Here Unless You Are A Big Risk Taker!!? ?A Disgusting And Repulsive Sess Pit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!? ?Twilight Zone? ?Dirty, liar and impolite? ?The hotel from hell?

With no suspicion and no explanation, the U.S. government can seize your laptop, cell phone, or PDA as you enter the United States and download all your private information -- including your personal and business documents, emails, phone calls, and web history. The Department of Homeland Security confirms that this is the official policy. What happens if you refuse to let the agents download your personal photos? Or if you have encrypted your private information? Then Border Patrol -- which is now an agency of the Department of Homeland Security -- can simply copy your entire hard drive or even take your device and hang on to it indefinitely. Unfortunately, seizing laptops and cameras at the border isn?t the only travel security measure that infringes on our civil liberties. Just last month, the U.S. government's "terrorist watch list" surpassed one million names and is growing by over twenty-thousand names per month. The watch list includes the names of prominent people, like Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA), plus hundreds of thousands of ordinary Americans -- many of them with common names like Robert Johnson and James Robinson. Your name might be on the list, but there's no way to know for sure until you are delayed -- or even detained for hours in a back room. If you discover your name is on the list, it's nearly impossible to get off. It actually took an Act of Congress to get Nelson Mandela off the list. No joke. An Act of Congress. These abuses have something in common: They make all of us into suspects, with no rule of law and no accountability.
