The world continues to speed down an unsustainable path despite over 500 internationally agreed goals and objectives to support the sustainable management of the environment and improve human wellbeing, according to a new and wide-ranging assessment coordinated by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).
The fifth edition of the Global Environmental Outlook (GEO-5), launched on the eve of the Rio+20 Summit, assessed 90 of the most-important environmental goals and objectives and found that significant progress had only been made in four.
"GEO-5 reminds world leaders and nations meeting at Rio+20 why a decisive and defining transition towards a low-carbon, resource-efficient, job-generating Green Economy is urgently needed," said Achim Steiner, Executive Director of UNEP.
"The moment has come to put away the paralysis of indecision, acknowledge the facts and face up to the common humanity that unites all peoples," he added.
The 4 areas where progress has been made are eliminating the production and use of substances that deplete the ozone layer, removal of lead from fuel, increasing access to improved water supplies and boosting research to reduce pollution of the marine environment.
Some progress was shown in 40 goals, including the expansion of protected areas such as National Parks and efforts to reduce deforestation.
Little or no progress was detected for 24 - including climate change, fish stocks, and desertification and drought.
Further deterioration was posted for eight goals including the state of the world's coral reefs while no assessment was made of 14 other goals due to a lack of data.

Click here for the original article from yesterday. As expected, there's more. As expected, it's trouble.
There was a report on TMZ yesterday that was subsequently retracted about Tony Parker filing for divorce. This prompted many, including a few of you on the liveblog to presume that because Tony was the one who had filed, it means that Eva Longoria would have been the one to blame. As I noted at the time, who files first has nothing to do with who f-cked up. Who files first is often about money. And besides, as also noted, when there's a professional athlete involved, my first assumption is always that it's the professional athlete who will be to blame. And in this case, it is.
Us Weekly is reporting exclusively that Eva is leaving Tony because he cheated on her with a mutual friend. They'd been carrying on for almost a year. Eva found the texts (hundreds of them), called him on it, he admitted it, he begged her to stay but she left his ass anyway. She also apparently confronted the other woman. Suddenly I'm coming around to the idea of being a fan of Eva Longoria... ?
What is it with cheaters and their inability to use the delete button? Do they read that sh-t back like high school notes in a shoebox?
I couldn't be the wife of a professional athlete. I couldn't strap myself to my husband all the time. And I shouldn't have to strap myself to my husband all the time. I also wouldn't be able to stop myself from shanking all the bitch whores who'd throw themselves at him. It's not worth going to prison for. But they always think they're The One and he'd never cheat on The One. It's heartbreaking how wrong they are. Remember the CNN report?
80 – 90% of professional athletes cheat.
I'm a gambler and even I'm not taking that bet.
As for Eva – the magazines put their issues to bed late late Monday night. Us Weekly would have alerted her people to the fact that they had this story, that they had these details. The only response her people have had is to deny that Tony filed for divorce. They haven't denied anything else. And if they wanted to, if they wanted to keep up the fraud like the Beckhams, they would categorically deny all claims. And we'd roll our eyes.
Am very interested to see if Eva plays this like Sandra Bullock. That's the textbook way to play it. Don't fight the story, especially when the story is true. If done right, Longoria could come out of this with a newfound popularity. Not a bad consolation prize to a broken marriage.
Her husband and a friend

Room 101
International organizations such as the United Nations exist at the intersection between domestic and international affairs, and between legal and political questions. This situation is fraught with legal and political complications: they create obligations on their member-countries, but those countries are also the authors of those obligations; they regulate states but have few tools of enforcement; they expect compliance, but rely on the self-interested motivations of their members. This seminar examines the tensions that surround the main international organizations today, including the United Nations, the World Trade Organization, and several international courts. For each, it considers their founding legal charter and their practical impact on world politics. We will examine member-states' obligations to the organization, patterns of compliance and non-compliance with them, and what powers of enforcement the organizations have.
Seminar led by Ian Hurd, Northwestern University

"Our Town" By James W. Tucker
Hampton Union
Thursday, September 6, 1951
"Bill" Cram Started It
[Membership card courtesy of the Bill Elliot Estate
& not in original article]
Society With An Objective
Town Takes Official Action
"And be it further resolved: that at such time as the Selectmen shall elect during the Tercentenary of the Town of Hampton, appropriate and fitting ceremonies shall be held to carry out the purposes of this resolution by publicly burning certified copies of all the official documents relating to the false accusations against Eunice ("Goody") Cole and that the ashes of the burned documents, together with soil from the reputed last resting place and from the site of the home of Eunice ("Goody") Cole be gathered in an urn and reverently placed in the ground at such place in the Town of Hampton as the Selectmen shall designate."
Millions Learn of Restoration
Newspapers and magazines, the world over, published the fact of our town's action in stories that ran from a few inches in a single column to full page, illustrated articles in color. The National Broadcasting Company featured a half hour radio re-enactment of the town meeting which was heard from coast to coast. Radio and newspaper commentators used the incident as a basis for the discussion of the gradual decline of superstition throughout the world. Millions learned of our town's generous act of restitution to one of its early citizens who by reason of ignorance based on superstition, had been whipped and imprisoned for witchcraft. And millions applauded!

A great deal is known about how model organisms such as fruit flies, nematodes and mice develop. But what about beetles, frogs, and birds? Scientists who study gene function in non-model organisms may get a boost from a new technique developed by Nipam Patel, Ph.D., assistant professor of organismal biology & anatomy and Howard Hughes Investigator at the University of Chicago.
Patel's technique allows scientists to introduce desired genes directly into embryonic cells using the baculovirus, which normally infects and reproduces in only a few species of moths. He has used the virus to carry foreign genes into frog and beetle, as well as fruit fly embryonic cells and believes the virus will prove effective in a wide range of other species.
The results of his findings are published in the November 18 issue of Current Biology.
"The baculovirus vector can easily infect a wide range of species," says Patel. "But outside of its normal moth h ost, the virus is unable to replicate, so there are minimal side effects."
Previously, the opportunity to study gene expression in non-model organisms was very limited. Techniques to create animals in which new genes are permanently inserted into their genomes have only been established for a few animals. Even then, the usefulness of these transgenic organisms is only realized after several generations. This pre sents a problem when studying animals with generation times measured in months or years.
Since the baculovirus can't reproduce outside of its normal moth host, infection is limited to cells near the injection site. This allows researchers to target experimental genes to specific areas.
As infected cells divide, the introduced genes eventually become diluted. But researchers who study developmental processes that occur early in embryogenesis need the genes to work for only a short time in order to test their theories.
Patel has already used this technique to study the gene 'wingless' (wg) in Tribolium, or the red flour beetle. In Drosophila, the role of wg in segmentation has been well documented. Wg codes for a signal molecule which is required for the maintenance of expression of another protein, called 'engrailed' (en ). Together, wingless and engrailed direct segment polarity–which determines the pattern in both the skin and nervous system of each segment. Patel wanted to test whether the function of wingless was conserved in the flour beetle.
Using the baculovirus system, Patel and colleagues first showed that this system faithfully replicated the genetic data from Drosophila. Then using the virus to express wingless in Tribolium, they showed that in the flour beetle, wingless also regulates the expression of engrailed, as in Drosophila.
Future experiments are planned to compare and contrast limb development in beetles, fruit flies and other animals.
Already clinicians are interested in using the new technique to learn more about human gene function. Patel is currently collaborating with Louis Philipson, M.D., Ph.D., associate professor and acting chief of endocrinology at the University of Chicago Hospitals, who studies the effects of genes that regulate insulin secretion.
"Pancreatic islet cells are a lot like brain cells in that they have interesting electrical properties that are crucial to their proper functioning," says Philipson. "We want to study how certain genes modify insulin secretion. Until now, the methods to do this have been very harsh on the cell membrane, and disrupt electrical impulses. The baculovirus turns out to be the most gentle way to get genetic material into these cells and there is no worry about other effects of the virus on the cells," says Philipson.

E! News reported it first late yesterday – that Zac Efron was in rehab earlier this year, suggesting that the problem was alcohol, citing a source who says that Efron is better now:
"He's healthy, happy and not drinking. He's taking time to focus on working."
Soon after though, TMZ blasted out that Zac actually had a BIG COKE PROBLEM and that it was so bad at one point that he wasn't showing up for work. People on set confirmed that it was widely acknowledged that he was struggling with cocaine and ecstasy.
Can we just put it out there right now? Because I'm always surprised that people are constantly surprised that this happens in Hollywood when so many of them use recreationally. Famous, not famous, wanting to be famous, it's practically universal and totally pedestrian. For many reasons. To stay thin is one – and that applies to both men and women – and also, remember who these people are. Remember that they're actors, insecure, paranoid, self-absorbed, narcissistic, and a drug like cocaine is perfect for that portfolio of attributes. On coke it's easier to forget that they're too short, tall, fat, plain, old, ordinary, forgettable. They consume it like you would allergy medication, or Advil. Then they turn around and tell you that they're enlightened by yoga. I've actually watched an actress do a line and then go to yoga, twitching all the way through. That's how zen their sh-t is.
And still the Disney factory keeps pumping them out. One day they're dancing with Mickey Mouse, the next they're snorting rails off a toilet seat while someone sucks them off from her knees. Isn't that where you want to send your kids?

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) -- Israeli aircraft and tanks pounded Gaza on Friday, killing seven Hamas militants and five civilians in a surge of fighting sparked by a Palestinian rocket attack on an Israeli school bus the day before.
Israel and Gaza's Hamas rulers seemed on the brink of another round of intense violence, just a little over two years after a three-week war in which persistent rocket fire from Gaza triggered a devastating Israeli military offensive in the territory.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the attack on the school bus "crossed a line" and warned that "whoever tries to harm and murder children will pay with their life."
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
In Thursday's attack, Gaza militants hit a yellow Israeli school bus near the border with a guided anti-tank missile, injuring the driver and badly wounding a 16-year-old boy. Most of the schoolchildren on the bus had gotten off shortly before the attack. Hamas, which had largely held its fire since Israel's last major offensive, claimed responsibility.
Early Saturday, an Israeli airstrike against a vehicle traveling near Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip killed three Hamas militants, including a senior commander, the group said.
Hamas said 29-year-old Tayser Abu Snima and two of his assistants were killed in the blast. Israel confirmed he strike.
The early morning attack brought the two-day death toll from Israel's ongoing retaliation to 17 Gazans - 10 militants, a Hamas policeman and six civilians - amounting to the bloodiest tally since Israel and Hamas wrapped up their three-week-long war more than two years ago.
The dead Friday included three civilians killed by Israeli tank fire and three militants killed in an airstrike, both near the southern Gaza town of Khan Younis. Another militant was killed in an airstrike in northern Gaza.
Later, an Israeli tank shell struck a cemetery east of Gaza City, killing two civilians, including an 11-year-old boy, said Palestinian health official Adham Abu Salmiya. The military insisted the strike targeted militants and that it had no information about any civilian casualties.
Gaza militants fired some 30 and mortar shells at southern Israel on Friday, causing no injuries, the Israeli military said.
For the second day in a row, Israel's cutting-edge Iron Dome missile defense system successfully intercepted Palestinian rockets aimed at Israeli cities, the military said. The system knocked down rockets aimed at the Israeli cities of Ashkelon and Beersheba. Reinforced rooms and early warning systems also have helped keep Israeli casualties low.
Studies at some Israeli schools near Gaza were canceled Friday because of concerns for the students' safety.
It is unclear if Hamas was trying to provoke a new conflagration, if it was not fully in control of all of its fighters, or if it believes Israel would pull back before invading Gaza again. Israel was condemned internationally after the last incursion.
Hamas said the rocket attack was in retaliation for the killing of three fighters in an airstrike earlier in the week. At around midnight Thursday, with Gaza rocked by explosions, the organization announced a cease-fire, though it later claimed responsibility for some of Friday's strikes. A small PLO faction, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, and the radical Islamic Jihad group also said they fired at Israel.
The Israeli strikes continued, hitting Hamas facilities and smuggling tunnels, after Hamas announced its cease-fire. Electricity lines and transformers were damaged, causing blackouts in some parts of the territory, according to Jamal Dardsawi, a spokesman for Gaza's Electric Distribution Company.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Friday condemned the bus attack and expressed concern over civilian casualties in Israel's strikes. He called for "de-escalation and calm to prevent any further bloodshed."
Thousands of rockets from Gaza have hit Israeli towns and cities since 2001. Israel's attempts to stop the rockets have included military incursions and covert operations abroad aimed at disrupting Hamas' efforts to procure arms.
In February, a Palestinian engineer was seized from a sleeper train in Ukraine and showed up several days later in Israel, where he has been charged with masterminding Hamas' rocket program. Last year a Hamas operative was assassinated in Dubai, and Israeli agents are widely assumed to have been responsible. Israel identified the man as a Hamas agent responsible for obtaining weaponry from Iran.
This week, Sudan accused Israel of being behind an explosion that killed two in Port Sudan. The blast was thought to be linked to arms smuggling to Gaza. Israel would not comment.

Still Pregnant
Well, my hcg levels are still rising, but kind of slowly. They were 37 thousand something on Monday. They've scheduled an ultrasound for Thursday. I'm sick from the progesterone. I'm taking Zofran in an attempt to keep the severe nausea at bay, but it's not working as well as it should. I just want to lay in bed on my stomach. Too bad Bella has other plans.

"This morning I arrested a woman for DUI, after she drove off the street and hit a tree at 7:30 a.m. She was quite drunk, and thought it was 11:00 at night and that she was going to her overnight shift at Walmart.
Anyway, once in the little ER exam room for blood draws and jail clearance, my partner said to her: "Doris, this may take a while. Why don't you have a seat?"
She said "I can't sit down. I have a turd in my pants."

MONTREAL — The Islanders played the opening 20 minutes as if they could not have cared less.
MONTREAL — The Islanders played the opening 20 minutes as if they could not have cared less.
Then they finished with a massive effort and a 4-3 overtime win on Thomas Hickey's first NHL goal, completing a brilliant passing play from John Tavares to Michael Grabner to Hickey at 3:12 of OT.
After tying it midway through the third period, the Islanders had to fend off two late Canadiens power plays to get at least one point. They worked hard to do so, showing the willingness that wasn't there to start.
Midway through the third, after the Canadiens resorted to icing the puck six times in an eight-minute span, the Islanders broke through to tie. Frans Nielsen backchecked smartly to keep Brian Gionta from a decent scoring chance, moved the puck up the ice and sped down the middle to receive Josh Bailey's feed. He snapped a wrist shot past Carey Price at 9:51 to even the score.
The Isles' streaky power play brought them back after the dismal start. With an advantage gained in the final 31 seconds of the first to begin the second period, the Islanders went right to work. Matt Moulson neatly deflected Mark Streit's one-timer from straight on, batting the puck down and past Price at 34 seconds of the second to bring the Isles within a goal at 2-1.
Montreal's tight neutral-zone system kept the Isles from gaining steam as it had done throughout the first, and the Isles were a mess at times in their own zone.
Hamonic could not win a physical battle behind his own net, and then Bailey put himself in bad position and lost the puck. David Desharnais fed Max Pacioretty in the slot for a quick shot through Evgeni Nabokov's legs at 8:30 to make it 3-1.
The Islanders got back to the power play in the closing minutes of the second, and that's where they got their act together once more. Tavares won the faceoff, the Isles worked the puck around and Tavares fed Moulson for a quick shot in the slot past Price at 16:57, marking the fifth time in the Isles' 17 games they scored multiple power-play goals.
That got the Isles within a goal again heading into the third with a bit of momentum, helping in some part to reverse a lifeless opening 20 minutes.

Since you never actually leave your living room, the OVO-4 home flight simulator lets you skip all the unpleasantness of modern air travel, while still enjoying the mind numbing boredom of being inside a commercial aircraft for hours at a time.
It's a fully gimbaled enclosed simulator that's able to twist and pitch, recreating the feeling of take offs, landings and worrying that your over-iced glass of Coke might spill. A trio of 24 inch LCD displays wrap around the cockpit, providing an immersive flight experience, while a dense cluster of gauges and dials will reinforce the idea that you probably don't know what you're doing.
The simulator is powered by Microsoft's Flight Simulator X, so it's not like it's running some proprietary software designed only for veteran pilots. And should you experience any mid-flight drama, an included external supervisor unit lets someone else keep an eye on your journey, stepping in when things get out of control. With a price tag in the neighborhood of $57,000 it seems like the perfect Christmas gift, except that it takes about 14 weeks for delivery, so you've missed the boat—err flight—for this year's holidays.

Local food truck trend goes into overdrive
Greater Boston's fleet expands quickly with new cuisines and locations
The food truck business in Boston is really starting to cook.
Come April, the city will have 56 trucks dishing food across Boston neighborhoods, up from just 15 when the city first cautiously kicked the tires of the trend in July 2011. Food trucks are coming to new parts of the city, including East Boston, Roxbury, and Charlestown, and those locations that started with one truck now have three or more, bringing a diverse mix of cuisines and cultures to the streets of a city once famous for its parochial tastes.
Trucks across the city now serve everything from Southern comfort food to Asian barbecue. The trend has become so popular that local truck chefs have their own food festivals and cooking contests, and some operators are even opening their own brick-and-mortar restaurants. Meantime, there is a growing network of businesses such as truck repair and emergency staffing to support them.
"It's become a job creator,'' said Edith Murnane, director of food initiatives for the City of Boston. "It's incubating new businesses, and it has become a real launching pad, for healthy, creative food in the city.''
One of the biggest success stories is Clover Food Lab
. The company, which emphasizes fresh, seasonal foods, opened with a single food truck with two employees a few years ago, and now has a workforce of 250 people.
The company operates two restaurants and seven trucks, from Dewey Square to the Longwood Medical Area to Harvard Square. Its founder and chief executive, Ayr Muir, said he is planning to open four more restaurants this year, including the company's first suburban location, in Burlington.
"It's been a lot of work,'' said Muir. "I don't sleep a whole lot, but I love what I do.''
To be sure, the influx of food trucks has upset some restaurant owners, who are concerned about losing parking and customers to mobile competitors.
"I understand the restaurants' complaints. They are investing huge amounts to serve their customers,'' said Peter Christie, chief executive of the Massachusetts Restaurant Association. "But I also understand food trucks saying, 'This is an emerging market and we're trying to make it work.' ''
Christie also noted that many restaurateurs are getting in on the trend, with the popular Blue Ribbon Barbecue and others rolling out new food trucks, in the suburbs as well as in the city.
"Overall, the restaurant scene in Boston is doing incredibly well,'' Christie said. "And I think the mayor and city planners have done a good job controlling'' the food trucks.
City regulations prevent trucks from opening within a 100 feet of a stationary competitor serving the same type of food. For example, a pizza truck could not open next to a Santarpio's or Regina Pizzeria without risking a fine, as well as the ire of workers from the restaurant.
All trucks must be inspected for food safety and public safety before hitting the streets, and again after they begin operating. But Murnane said the extra workload has not forced the city to hire additional inspectors.
Starting in April, she said, the city will have nearly 20 public food truck locations, including four spots with multiple trucks including the Christian Science Plaza and at Kilby and Milk streets in the Financial District.
One of the most successful locations is the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway, which first tested food trucks in a 2010 pilot program.
The nonprofit conservancy that runs the parks system expects to earn $250,000 this year in leasing revenue, up from $25,000 in the first year; this spring it will have 22 food vendors, compared with just six at the outset.
"With so many more trucks, we're seeing a lot of competition for the best spaces,'' said Jesse Brackenbury, chief operating officer of the conservancy. "This industry has a lot of creative, entrepreneurial people, and it's fun to work with them and see their success.''
Last year, the Greenway hosted the city's first annual Food Truck Throwdown, a competition between vendors from New York and Boston. The event attracted more than 20,000 people, and will be held again this year, along with new events involving vendors from other cities.
City officials said they expect the program will continue to expand, with existing and new vendors seeking to spread out across the city.
"There is still a good amount of opportunity out there, and much of it is in the neighborhoods,'' said Murnane, noting that this year's new vendors are stretching out to the Charlestown Navy Yard and across Boston Harbor to Maverick Square in East Boston. "The food truck industry is just in the midst of emerging.''
Peter Lynch and Alison Fong — the husband-and-wife owners of the Asian food truck Bon Me
— are looking to roll out a third truck while planning their first restaurant, in Kendall Square.
Lynch, who left a job in finance to run the operation full time, said the city's initial food truck pilot program was the nudge he and his wife needed to jump at the dream of opening their own restaurant.
"My wife is a trained chef, but I had never worked in food service,'' he said. "We started with the idea of creating a concept we could expand. We were optimistic it would be a popular option for the downtown lunch crowd, and it's gone very well for us. We're hopeful that we'll continue to grow.''

SELINSGROVE, Pa. (WBRE/CNN) - A retired military dog will spend the rest of his life being spoiled after he was adopted by a military officer he served with in Iraq.
Jason Livingston and his best friend, a bomb detecting K9 named Blecky, hadn't seen each other in three years until the nonprofit K9 Hero Haven helped reunite them Wednesday morning.
"I was always hoping some day to be able to be reunited with him," Livingston said. "Without a shadow of a doubt, he's been one of my favorite working dogs that I've had over the course of my K9 career."
Livingston worked as a Department of Army civilian police officer at Lackland Air Force base in San Antonio, Texas. He then moved on to become a military working dog K9 handler, which is where he met Dutch shepherd Blecky.
Starting in August 2014, the two worked together in Iraq, where they located explosives on vehicles, buildings and other items coming into the U.S. Embassy.
"It's the best partner you can have. They're trustworthy, loyal. You don't have to second guess if they're going to do their job. When I had Blecky and worked with him, he always gave 100 percent every day. He always did what I asked him to do," Livingston said.
Now that 8-year-old Blecky is retired, he has a long life filled with play and love ahead of him at Livingston's Texas home.
"It's kind of like another family member. You become very close. They depend on you, and you depend on them. So, having the opportunity to reunite with a lost family member is just special. I really can't hardly put it into words," Livingston said.
Livingston says he plans on spoiling Blecky. The next step is to get him used to his other dogs and horses.
K9 Hero Haven, out of Herndon, Pa., adopts working service dogs, like Blecky, and helps reunite them with their handlers. The organization has placed more than 230 dogs in homes since 2015.

Family Kitchen Essentials: Top Tools and Staple Foods
Even though I cook almost every night, I never really used my dishwasher much until my son Olin came along. Now, it's among the top five appliances I use regularly, along with my food processor, juicer, mandoline, and propane grill. I find that whether I'm throwing something together at the last minute or taking as much time and care with preparing a meal as a professional chef might, the right tools not only result in better food, they make the job easier for me. Here, a look at the kitchen tools and staple foods that are indispensable to Circle of Moms members.
1. Good Knives, Food Processors, and Choppers
Circle of Moms member Desiree R. would be nowhere without her food processor and a small manual chopping machine, both of which allow her to do messy jobs, like chopping onions, quickly and easily. And don't forget quality knives, says Toni M., who likes to keep it simple (She uses no kitchen appliances other than a dishwasher).
2. Durable Pots and Pans
A good set of pots and pans is basic, and Circle of Moms members recommend WearEver, Revere Cookware, SaladMaster, and Cooks, all of which are said to be both affordable and durable. But I'm with Jonna C., who says cast iron pans are best. They last forever with very minimal care are even good for most non-stick needs as long as you keep them well-seasoned.
3. A Slow Cooker or Crock Pot
Lisa M. swears by her slow cooker, which is perfect for one-pot meals that cook while she's at work. Krista E. says that with a slow cooker you can "Just throw in a pork roast or some cuts of beef or some chicken thighs, [add] in some veggies like carrots, peas, sweet potato, parsnip, or whatever you've got, and some potatoes, and off you go."
4. Grills
The gas grill was also something I never thought about much before my son Olin came along; I often preferred lighting a charcoal grill. But I quickly became a convert to gas when I realized how easy it is to set up, use, and clean. Leslie B.'s family grills "about 3-4 nights a week," cooking up steaks and chicken that she then uses all week to make salads and to add to salads. And Krista E. says indoor grills like the ones sold by George Foreman are equally handy for chicken, pork chops, and even veggies. (Related: BBQ 101: Grilling Made Easy)
5. Staple Foods
Many moms find that keeping certain go-to items in the pantry will allow you to whip up last-minute dishes when you're pinched for time or don't have a lot of fresh groceries around. Cathy S. is a tomato-holic, and keeps endless stores of canned tomatoes, pasta sauce and chilli sauce in her pantry, not to mention ketchup, which her kids love and put on lots of different foods. Dyan B. needs chicken stock, butter, whole wheat flour, powdered sugar, vanilla, and other baking ingredients to be at her fingertips at all times. And Jenn H. likes to have agave syrup around for sweetening tea and pouring over pancakes.
My own list? It's long, but the top items are: Parmesan cheese, sriracha, crushed red peppers, dried pasta, canned tomatoes, fish sauce, soy sauce, and lemons. These ingredients let me whip up both European (especially Italian) and Asian dishes, in a flash. (Related: 3 Last-Minute Meals That Use Only Pantry Staples)

13 apps for your day at the beachPosted: August 17, 2011 Filed under: Fish, Ocean, People, Places, Random Fun!, Sea Turtles, Test Your Knowledge | Tags: Biology, Blue Ocean Institute, iPhone, Monterey Bay Aquarium, Sea turtle, Seafood Watch, Sustainability 2 Comments
It's time to get the most out of that last trip to the beach!
Whether you're ready for a day out on the boat, lounging, beachcombing, catching some waves, or preparing a feast there is an app to get you more involved in your marine environment. Apps are not only a great way to learn something new on the fly but can be a useful tool for engaging one another in settings where you may not have common ground. (OK, at the very least apps settle many 'discussions'.)
Here is a list of useful and rather attractive apps that can connect you to your inner marine biologist.
AUDUBON FIELD GUIDES: Audubon Fishes of the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico and Audubon Fishes – A Guide to North American Fishes include photos, geographic ranges, and concise yet detailed descriptions of appearances. Coming soon is the field guide for the Mid-Atlantic shoreline. ($9.99)
OCEANOGRAPHY STUDY GUIDE: If you are into fun oceanography trivia and want to learn more about the geography of the sea than download this app. It isn't an endless list of "did you know?" facts but rather a large range of topics with well written articles for the serious beach chair scientist. ($4.99)
OFFICIAL APP OF ISSF: The International Seafood Sustainability Foundation (ISSF) was founded in 2008 when leaders of industry, scientists and environmental champions voiced concern over the future of tuna fisheries. This app provides a glossary of terms, videos, and a list of the status of stocks. (Free)
SEA TURTLE APP: This app was created by the Sea Turtle Conservancy and allows you to follow read the latest on sea turtle news but much more exciting you can track the global migration of different sea turtles with interactive satellite tracking maps! (Free)
Enough sitting around – it's time to get out there and do something:
MOBILE APP FOR IGFA: The International Game Fishing Association created an app for weigh station locations, angler rules and regulations, customizable quests, and advice for trip planning. What more does a sport fisherman need?
MARINE DEBRIS TRACKER APP: This collaboration is brought to you by the Southeast Atlantic Marine Debris Initiative. The reporting of where you find marine debris can help to focus and prioritize federal efforts. The app uses GPS and allows you minimal work of sorting through lists of common marine debris. (Free)
CRAB APP: This app is an offshoot from the marine wild lab and allows you to collect horseshoe crab species data that will be used in scientific research. Horseshoe crabs are of enormous importance to 1) the drug industry due to their blood, 2) to fisheries for bait, and 3) to migratory shorebirds for its eggs. (Free)
TIDE GRAPH: I found out that there are many, many apps out there to help you monitor the tides. Tide Graph will work for both coasts in the US and provides graphs to help you see how the tide changes over the day and the month. ($1.99)
If you are preparing a feast or gorging on some dockside seafood:
SEAFOOD WATCH: For years the Monterey Bay Aquarium has produced adorable pocket-sized regional cheat sheets so you can get a quick overview of what species are considered over fished or not in your neck of the woods. They continue to produce this application for your iPhone and use GPS tracking to discover where you are so you can get the most relevant information. (Free)
PROJECT FISHMAP: Monterey Bay Aquarium also gets you more involved by asking you to submit information when you find a restaurant or market that advocates sustainable seafood. As the map grows you can see what spots you've not uncovered in your neighborhood. (Free)
FISHPHONE APP: With one quick text (example: "fish salmon") to 30644 Blue Ocean Institute will fed you intel on your species of choice. For instance, they'll rank the sustainability and toxicity levels and send an overview of its conservation status. (Free)
SAFE SEAFOOD: This app takes information from ten different seafood rankings (including Monterey Bay Aquarium and the Environmental Defense Fund) to create its list. The app outlines choices in an easy to review "best to worst" list. I particularly like that fish with multiple different market names are listed by each of common name too. ($0.99, but 10% of the proceeds go to EDF)
I am certain I missed many wonderful apps. Please do not hesitate to email at email@example.com to share!
Added October 27, 2011: An app for water quality and to get the most up-to-date grade for your beach presented by Heal the Bay in California.
2 Comments on "13 apps for your day at the beach"
Thank you so much for your mention and recommendation of the Audubon Guides apps! We agree that the Fishes of North America and Caribbean Fishes app would be great for any day at the beach. Please let me know if you would like to review any of our apps in the future, or if you have any questions or comments. Happy Exploring! Maggie@GMD, creator of Audubon Guides
i would like to thank you for mentioning, recommedation of the bait boats! I totally agree that the Fishes of North Gulf would be great for any day at the beach of Gulf.

ohhhh crap.
so this is why they warned us not to host code on github. they did though, they said if you host code on github, sooner or later youll be sorry...
*microsoft acquires github* oh, there it is!
"its a new microsoft"
*then buys linked in, nokia, github and red hat*
looks a lot like the "old microsoft" to me!
im not saying companies shouldnt buy other companies. im just saying i dont like when microsoft does it, because they dont just buy stuff-- they buy it and then often screw it up (skype) or kill it after a couple years.
i dont like google or facebook any more than microsoft though. i do not run them on an arm, containered on a server farm, i do not like them on pcs, just keep them all away from me. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Eggs_and_Ham
googling alternatives to github... (j/k, using duckduckgo.) couldnt they have done this on april 1st instead?
"microsoft <3 linux"
hey, dont touch me!
"microsoft <3 linux"
get off!
"microsoft <3 linux"
eww, eww!
"you know you want microsoft, linux"

All that work the users put in that was open-sourced... has just vanished. No doubt no one got paid a nickel for all that WORK. See ya, wouldn't wanna be ya!
I think
REN (Ren&Stimpy)
sums it up nicely.
Slackware just posted June 1st... Git 2.14.4 "The stupid content tracker"
patches/packages/git-2.14.4-i486-1_slack14.0.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes security issues:
Submodule "names" come from the untrusted .gitmodules file, but we
blindly append them to $GIT_DIR/modules to create our on-disk repo
paths. This means you can do bad things by putting "../" into the
name. We now enforce some rules for submodule names which will cause
Git to ignore these malicious names (CVE-2018-11235).
Credit for finding this vulnerability and the proof of concept from
which the test script was adapted goes to Etienne Stalmans.
It was possible to trick the code that sanity-checks paths on NTFS
into reading random piece of memory (CVE-2018-11233).
Credit for fixing for these bugs goes to Jeff King, Johannes
Schindelin and others.

i dont think its that bad yet. the acquisition isnt complete, i dont think it would look good for microsoft at all if they actually pulled the plug right away.
but a lot of people are going to be moving from there. notabug.org is the best alternative ive found so far. i hope to find more options this week. you can still download your stuff as a zip and use github-- REAL github users (not me) can probably git clone whatever command like usual. but im not staying with microsoft. giving them root access to my operating system? thats why i switched! funny pic though, thats hilarious for dark humour.

You cannot blame Microsoft, they just do what they have always done. But what about the hypocrisy of the GitHub developers? What is their next project?

You're surprised? Seriously?
The infiltration runs deeper than you think.
Here is more surprise for you: "git" (the key software that is being used by "github") key developers are MS employees.
Yes, that "git" which is used to manage Linux kernel sources, that "git" that was originally created by Linus Torvalds. That one. Is now maintained by MS, more or less.
Don't believe me? Check it for yourself:
And if you need to hear directly from the horse's mouth, here is the full banter (note that they didn't bother to hide the fact anymore):
Notice the dates.
And do you think their infiltration stops at git? Hahaha
As for github founders (not "developers" - the developers are as f**d up as anyone else), they just want to cash in and get out. There is no hypocrisy - is there anyone here who don't like loads and loads of cash? Github is a business. People treat it a like a public service. And then be surprised when they sell out.
Here's some refresher: In the beginning there was sourceforge.net. When sourceforge sold out, people scurried to google code. But the fun didn't last long; google code was shutdown (hazard a guess!) and people scurried over to the new king of hill, github. But now the king is ownzd ... rinse and repeat.
People readily hand down $millions to buy products that don't exist in kickstarter. But nobody is willing to share a few dimes to pay for an agnostic open-source code sharing platform. Ahh, the joy of humanity
Here is my advice. Ride it like the wind. Enjoy it while you can. But realise it is for what it is and don't lose your vigilance. Lest you fall off the cliff without even knowing. For everything is ephemeral.

whats the expiry on blaming people for buying out sellouts and patent fraud? i mean if you get people (under threat of legal action) to sign confessions that yes, they took your "property" (its not microsofts property, the patent system is just broken) when actually it was written by non-microsoft authors all over the world--
we can totally blame microsoft and suse and github and everybody responsible. hard to say who i dislike more here, github or suse-- its probably suse though. (ongoing, i still blame them.)
i even wrote github a nice letter when i deleted my account and they asked for feedback. "youre going to get a lot of mean letters, i just thought id say thank you for the great service you provided until now... thats a lot of money, i hope you put some of it to good causes (hint: not the bill and melinda gates foundation!)"
they replied that theyre still committed to the open source, "developer-first" ethos. im guessing "developer-first" means "giant company first" though. im technically a developer, they certainly didnt put me first. can you imagine how pissed i would be right now if id ever sent them money? (i have funded some floss-related stuff and commercial hosting, even the fsf-- my github use was pretty sparse.)
"hey i just closed my github, cause
a money maker thats all it was (ha)
if you make money i wont fuss (but)
without freedom youre just a cuss (hey)
you can buy diamonds and gold with your super-sized
but dont try to sell me any of your lies, lies, lies
cause you deny
what i hold high"
"git" (the key software that is being used by "github") key developers are MS employees.
this sort of infiltration people should watch out for-- theres not much you can do about it except this:
* when they start adding lots of goofy obfuscation, stop approving the commits (you can tell how little i know about git when i say "approving the commits" like some floss developers grandparents)
"you kids and your gitbuckets! i bet youve never even used a floppy drive!"
* fork if necessary, because microsoft devs probably wont join multiple forks (though nothing actually stops them from doing so.)
when a company has an actual playbook on how to fight free software, letting them in is a very silly thing to do. that said-- a zero-tolerance policy on someone who formerly worked from microsoft is probably unnecessary. and i say that as someone who doesnt trust microsoft even a little. theyve never earned it and they really couldnt, without actually thinking theyve changed. (which is also a very silly thing to do.)

This is scary and worrying of course. I do use google services a lot, email and google apps business site, so in that sense if any big corporation took over github I wish it had been Google. However, Google has a bad habit of suddenly closing down services... I have never seen Microsoft doing that - old hotmail is still going strong (my original email account there still active). I just hoping the end result of the takeover will change nothing, in any bad way, about github hosting and operation - nerve wracking though. It is such a huge open-source resource nowadays. Fact is, Microsoft has the clout to takeover most things (maybe even Apple one day?...).
No point complaining further about them - just have to hope thy respect the open-source community though or of course alternative breakaway git type repositories will become more prevalent (but git is becoming a Microsoft product anyway). When, I wonder, will Microsoft own the Linux kernel...
We see the future, and it looks bleak. We live in a commercialised world and the past few decades may just have been an open-source free-as-in-beer bubble. I blame Hamadoudou for his free passenger-style customer attitude - soon he and all of us may have to pay... Plus side would be if anyone doing useful development actually earned some non-Pelo-style reward for their countless hours of work - but that is unlikely aside from click-through advertising models...

Good to see you posting, I was wondering were you went. Being busy with life is good though.
I read those four posts when you posted, I also tried to comment but I don't know where my comments went.
I totally agree with what you said.
I was a user and fan of Cyanogen, Microsoft joined then and boom.
That's why I was also worried when I read Microsoft became platinum member of Linux foundation.
Waiting for your fifth post.

They shut down the MSN Messenger service in favor of Skype's messaging services (I preferred the former, of course)... and then proceeded to 'improve' Skype so much I can't even use it because I'm not running a 64-bit version of Linux.
I don't think Skype's as suited to conference IMing or brainstorming with a group, but that could be just me.

Yeah, I stopped using Skype a long time ago. I just use Facebook/Messenger nowadays but I suppose it has less facilities and open-source messaging would be nice but you have to use what is compatible with the people you communicate with...

text: The game site Polygon did a really nice profile and video mini-doc on our pal (and MAKE contributor) I-Wei Huang. I-Wei is best known in MAKE circles for Crabfu Steamworks, his steam powered robots and other cool creations that he bodges together in his spare time. In the gaming world, I-Wei is best known as the chief character and toy designer for Skylanders, the wildly-successful video game and toy line. In this video, I-Wei shows off both his Crabfu creations and talks about his creative and design process around Skylanders. We also learn more about how I-Wei and company use 3D printing technology in their design process. There's a lot to love in this profile, not the least of which is that awesome T-shirt I-Wei is rocking'.

From the China anecdotes file, reader Gary writes …
"Hi Mish, I have a friend that is an architect in Shanghai. I sent him an article that talked about counting dark apartments at night to determine vacancy rates. He confirms everything I've been reading on your blog."
My architect friend says…
Once you get out of the city and into the second tier cities these 50% vacancy figures ring true. I've been to so many smaller cities and they are full of residential high rises going up everywhere. Most have a significant vacancy rate from what I see just from driving by.
The idea of "build it they will come" mentality has been fueling this. However, the government has since put down some hard rules to slow all of this down but so many buildings were either just completed or in the middle of construction before these measures were put into effect.
What's sad is that these buildings are built very poorly and I'm not confident that they will survive long enough for the migration from rural to urban to occur. The developers here are severely handicapped when it comes to what and how to build. they are usually farmers who sold their land for big money and know absolutely nothing about developing profitable projects. They don't do any valid market research from what I can tell.
It's usually left up to us (the architecture firm) to figure things out for them.
Culturally these guys feel like they are the ones in power and must exhibit this power by making radical decisions so it appears to the cronies in the room that they are in charge. The crazy thing is China is so big and robust they can make many mistakes – build a shopping center, it fails, demolish, rebuild, all within short period of time – and they don't go bankrupt.
This type of program would ruin development in the united states but it doesn't have similar results here. I think it's going to take China another 20 years before they get up to speed and find their identity, until then China is still third world in terms of knowledge, quality of work.
Malinvestment is the word that best describes what Gary's architect friend describes.
It has indeed bankrupted many State Owned Enterprises (SOEs), and such development will come to a screeching halt sooner rather than later as I have mentioned many times, most recently in 12 Predictions by Michael Pettis on China; Non-Food Commodity Prices Will Collapse Over Next Three to Four Years; Nails in the Hard Landing Coffin?

Looks like we are about to get your yesterday afternoon today. I look out the window as the Sun is just peaking over the trees to the East and everything looks like a go for a nice day. Thanks for sending it our way.
Love the tribute to America and Beef. Seems so appropriate for KC.

Looking forward to seeing what you find at that abandoned building. I have a thing for old, abandoned buildings.

The building also used to have a (pair of, IIRC) grain elevator right next to it. It got torn down a couple years ago. I'm surprised the rest of the building was left.

Burger City Guides: Anthony Meidenbauer's Favorite Burgers in Las Vegas
Lists of top 5 burgers.
You won't have a problem finding a burger in Las Vegas, but with the average price of a burger and fries hovering around $18, it pays to have an in-the-know insider point you to the best picks. To help accomplish that goal, we're turning to Anthony Meidenbauer, Executive Chef at Holsteins, a burger-centric restaurant in The Cosmopolitan.
When it comes to burgers, Anthony says he likes them "super simple". His perfect burger features a coarse-ground beef patty, grilled rare and topped with American cheese, bread and butter pickles, grilled onion, and mustard on a squishy brioche bun. When he's not digging into a "Nom Nom burger" at Holsteins (Kobe beef with cheddar cheese, potato chips, and 1000 Island dressing), he satisfies his cravings with everything from fast food to fusion burgers.
Scroll down to see all of Anthony's favorite burgers in Las Vegas.
Anthony Meidenbauer's Top 5 Burgers in Las Vegas
1. Double-Double from In-N-Out: It's perhaps the best fast food burger ever. Simple, good ingredients and quick, you just can't beat it for a bite on the go.
Multiple locations in Las Vegas, see in-n-out.com for full list
2. The Comme Ça Burger at Comme Ça: It's like an elevated version of the In-N-Out burger. Very simple with that great special sauce.
3708 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas NV 89109 (map); 702-698-7910; commecarestaurant.com
3. Backyard Favorite Burger at Honey Salt: The tomato jam and bread and butter pickles make this a real stand-out. I love bread and butter pickles, but most places are stuck on dill.
1031 S Rampart Blvd, Las Vegas NV 89145 (map); 702-445-6100; honeysalt.com
4. Bradley Burger at Hops and Harvest: Although it's not exactly like the legendary Bradley Ogden Burger, its close. It's made with a great fresh ground beef blend that is coarse and has a nice steak bite. Add some cheese and sauce, and it's good to go.
450 S Rampart Blvd, Suite 120, Las Vegas NV (map); 702-445-6100; hopsandharvestlv.com
5. The Ronin at Bachi Burger: The burger is served on a nice, squishy Taiwanese-style bun with a fried egg, yuzu aioli, and some slaw. It's a great combination, well worth a trip to either location.
Two locations in Las Vegas, see bachiburger.com for details
