Watching the animation above, it's hard not to get goosebumps when the the clock hits 2012 and the whole United States goes red. That's what it looks like from space when the Earth is parched.

Scientists say one of the most popular fish in the Gulf of Mexico has rebounded enough to allow a second season for red snapper this year.
The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council meets in New Orleans on Wednesday to consider increased fishing quotas and a supplemental 2013 season for red snapper, one of the region's most popular game and eating fish.

Startup renaissance man Elon Musk has spent the past year or so not-so-subtly dropping hints about yet another ambitious transport project of his, and it seems he's getting ready to describe it in more detail. Amid plenty of speculation, Musk revealed in a tweet earlier today that he plans to publish his tentative designs for the Hyperloop system by August 12.Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/e4ARwjTUAbk/

NEW YORK (AP) ? It's a mainstay on Broadway and now "The Lion King" has proved it's a king on the road, too.
Disney Theatrical Productions said Wednesday that the show's total touring box office gross in North America has reached $1 billion. Producers estimate that more than 15 million theatergoers in over 70 cities across North America have seen the show since 2002.
Says Jack Eldon, a vice president at Disney Theatrical Productions: "We remain overwhelmed by the enduring response to the show and are enormously thankful to our patrons ? new and returning ? for their continued enthusiasm and support."
It reached its milestone quickly. Three national tours of "The Phantom of the Opera" have grossed over $1.5 billion in combined box office sales but the first kicked off in 1989.

Cheap approach, natural ingredients may prove useful in foods, medicines

Mix iron and tannic acid in water and they'll bond, forming little capsules (shown), scientists have discovered. The process is quick, easy and reversible.

It?s not often that chemists find a quick, simple and cheap method for making things using widely available ingredients, but researchers have done just that: They?ve created elegant little capsules and coatings in water simply by mixing iron and a compound from plants called tannic acid. The soft coatings form on their own around whatever else is in the water ? glass beads, bacteria, gold nanoparticles and more. Just changing the solution?s pH can prompts the coatings to disassemble.
The coatings? ingredients are considered safe ? tannic acid is found in wine, while iron is an important element for living things. That means the capsules might help in delivering drugs in the body or find use in cosmetics or foods, says bioengineer Gregory Payne of the University of Maryland in College Park.
The work fits with an ongoing effort to find biologically friendly, useful materials, Payne says, and it takes advantage of materials that are right under everyone?s noses. ?It opens up a lot of opportunities.?
Using ordinary lab equipment, the research team, led by materials scientist Frank Caruso of the University of Melbourne in Australia, create the tiny coatings at room temperature. When the researchers add tannic acid to water, it tends to congregate around surfaces, whether they be a piece of polystyrene or an E. coli bacterium. When the researchers add iron ions to the mix, the iron latches onto the tannic acid molecules, connecting them into a thin film. At a pH of 7.4, the capsules were still intact after 10 days; at a pH of 3, they disassembled within four hours, the team reports in the July 12 Science.

During the lunch recess, or immediately thereafter, we will TRY topost a mid-day update. We?ll then follow up with the usual detailed end-of-day wrap up, including video and embedded Tweets, at the usual time in the evening.
Our end-of-day wrap-up and analysis of yesterday focused on the collapse of the State?s ?scream? theory of the case, which imploded with the disclosure that Tracey Martin had initially denied that the screaming on the Lauer 911 recording was that of his son, Trayvon Martin. It also noted that the Court had decided to allow Trayvon Martin?s toxicology report to be allowed into evdience. Also, of course, it contains video of all the other testimony and hearings caught on camera throughout the day. That can be found here:
This past weekend I posted up an analytical piece of Mark O?Mara?s request for a judgment of acquittal. O?Mara?s motion was well-reasoned and supported by Florida?s case law. It was, of course, doomed to peremptory denial by Judge Nelson. In that piece I?ve linked almost all of the case citations made by O?Mara to full-length copies of the decisions, so you can see the sources for yourselves, if you like (most of the decisions are gratifyingly brief). You can see that here:
Last Thursday, July 4, I had posted up a review of the trial to date, with some prognostication of how things may role out in the coming days. To take a look at that, click here:
