The geologist
Mapping 14days in the Alps.
No shower for 14days, 17men, 3women, 1room. It was disgusting but yet we had alot of fun.
The weather was horrible, it was raining, the fields were a mixture of cow poo and mud, as seen on my shoes (this was one of the sunniest days, im still a little dirty)
This was one of the last days when we tried to map the "Aiplspitz". We had a nice view and i was trying to get some rock samples…
Hooray for geology!
PS: thx catherine for editing this one 
YOU did a great job hehe

I wrote Part 1 of Oil in Haiti as the economic reasons for the US/UN occupation back in October, 2009. After the earthquake I questioned whether oil drilling could have triggered the earthquake (Did mining and oil drilling trigger the Haiti earthquake?)
… After being called crazy and un-American for writing that the 2010 earthquake gives the US the perfect disaster-capitalism opportunity to come out from behind the UN and openly occupy Haiti to secure Haiti's oil, strategic location and other riches for the corporatocracy. Just after I wrote about oil drilling causing earthquakes, on the following Tuesday, a veteran oil company man comes forward in Businessweek to say, and one wonders how he can so authoritatively speculate about the area of the faultline without intimate knowledge of the drillings, explorations, Haiti's wellheads and oil map, et al, but nonetheless his sudden, seemingly unprompted REVELATION, is that Haiti lies in an area that has undiscovered amounts of oil,

Mr Fuilla said that there were three reasons why Daline might have survived: she was young and in good health; she seemed to have been protected in a cavity by a wall on each side; and she seemed to have had access to liquid. Mr Fuilla said that she had mumbled the word “Coca” — French for Coca-Cola.

The design, at first glance, not so much. But once you give it a second, you realize there is nothing but simplicity in the design and production of this useful gift.

Amateur video shows the chaos and panic just moments after the devastating earthquake in Haiti last week. A Brazilian soldier stationed in Port-au-Prince captured the scene. — Incroyable! au milieu du tas de gravats et de ruines le calvaire reste intact, debout, et déjà des gens pour s'agenouiller devant ce "miracle" en tournant le dos à leur propre calvaire…

Le séisme en Haïti est le pire désastre auquel l’ONU a jamais été confrontée dans son histoire. Même pour le terrible tsunami en 2004, la logistique était plus simple. Ici en Haïti, la difficulté majeure, c’est l’absence de structure étatique pour coordonner les secours internationaux.
Atteindre les victimes ensevelies est quasiment impossible. 40 000 corps ont déjà été enterrés, le bilan pourrait s‘élever à 200 000 morts. Dans cette école, raconte un témoin, il y avait 300 personnes au moment du drame, élèves et professeurs. Tous piégés.
Quatre jours après le séisme, à l’abandon total s’ajoute l’insécurité pour les survivants, agressés et volés par des bandes de pillards. Le président René Préval compare Haïti à un pays victime d’une guerre, 3/4 de la capitale devront être reconstruits.

The ongoing movement of India towards Central Asia could be driven by a downward pull from the Indian continental plate, according to a study published online this week in Nature Geoscience. This work provides a different interpretation of the forces that governed the collision of India and Asia between about 55 and 30 million years ago and subsequent convergence.

"There are people who have been evacuated three times, and we sigh: 'You again?' " said Salceda of central Albay province. "We've been playing cat and mouse with them."
After a week of puffing out ash and sending bursts of lava trickling down its steep slopes, the 8,070-foot (2,460-meter) mountain overlooking the Gulf of Albay and Legazpi city shook with nearly 2,000 volcanic earthquakes and tremors between Sunday and Monday, state volcanologists said.
The emission of sulfur dioxide — an indication of magma rising inside the volcano — jumped to 6,000 tons per day from the normal 500, said the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology. It also reported "audible booming and rumbling sounds" in the eastern flank of the volcano, accompanied by intensified crater glow at night.
Lava fountains bursting from the cone-shaped volcano overnight rose 650 feet (200 meters) in the air, the institute said.
Scientists raised the alert level Sunday to one step below a hazardous eruption
