Atlanta
by Frans de Waal
Yesterday in a restaurant in Tokyo, someone at the table next to us lit up a cigarette. I asked my Japanese host if no one ever asked smokers to go outside. His answer took me by surprise: one is not allowed to smoke on the street. Inside is fine, outside is wrong. It's the opposite of what we are used to in the West.

Howard Zinn -- whose A People’s History of the United States, first published by Harper & Row in 1980, has sold some two million copies -- died last week at the age of 87. His passing has inspired numerous tributes to his role in bringing a radical, pacifist perspective on American history to a wide audience.

From The Root:
Cuento de Navidad en Cleveland, donde los Cavaliers ganaron por 106-101 a Atlanta gracias al primer triple de Varejao en su carrera en la NBA y a los 48 puntos que sumó LeBron James. El partido lo tenían muy cuesta arriba los Cavaliers. Con empate a 101 y el tiempo de posesión a punto de expirar, el balón llegó a Varejao, muy abierto, en una posición poco habitual. El brasileño se la jugó y anotó. Los árbitros tuvieron que revisar la jugada en vídeo, porque uno de los pies de Varejao estaba junto a la línea de tres. Pero no la pisó. Valió el triple.

Busses are greener than cars, and apartment buildings are greener than houses. But is a 747 greener than a Cessna? Is an interstate greener than Route 66? Is a 55 inch flat screen greener than a 20 inch tube television? Is a cruise ship greener than a pontoon boat?
