Librarian with ‘McCain=Bush’ sign charged with trespassing at public campaign event.
Weird.
Open to the public does not mean that a place becomes a public space, with the attendant full fledged free speech rights. Open to the public means that you don't have to be invited to attend. Restaurants are open the public, but you probably couldn't carry a sign into one of those, either.
I don't like John McCain at all, I just don't see where this event being called open to the public prevents someone from being charged for trespassing... [more]

The Forgotten Lens
I adore the 30mm Sigma prime I just got for my Nikon DSLR. 30mm is just right with the crop. I also have the 50mm 1.4 Nikkor, but it's too hard to use socially - I keep running out of room to back up.
(This thread feels like it has the wrong color.)

Heather and Derek are suddenly out of JPG Magazine
This is not just a personnel issue, and there is something here that Paul or 8020 can freely talk about without even mentioning Derek or Heather's name, and that is their disrespectful actions towards the community itself, the removal of the first 6 issues of the magazine. 2 years of work which was created by the community that Paul is hoping continues to create his magazine for him. That's the reason I left JPG, such crazy senseless revisionism without telling the community WHY is just utterly... [more]

No no, not the firing of Derek. I don't care about that.
They (8020 or possibly just Paul) have no good explanation for what they did meaning removing the first 6 issues of the magazine. That's ultimately what the problem is and what they've made no attempt to explain.

Fertilizers -> watershed pollution -> phytoplankton blooms -> Oil -> More Industry -> More fertilizers -> Sustainable loop!

I think it's really cool. But I couldn't resist making a joke.
If they can pull it off, they'll grow phytoplankton in vats or holding ponds, it doesn't make sense to suck them out of the ocean.

It'd have to be bigger then the Salton Sea, I'd think. Pumping sea water all the way inland to put these things in the desert would be massively damaging - you'd be introducing a lot of salt into the watershed. The excess used water would either have to released downstream or left to evaporate, and then what?
