Photo via Stuff Biologists from the Louisiana Fish & Wildlife Department have determined that a massive fish kill that occurred in the mouth of the Mississippi River — that resulted in grisly pictures like the one above ricocheting around the web — was not caused by the BP spill.

Swans may be regarded as symbols of love and harmony , but sometimes they too can be downright mean — and one such bird in Wales may be the meanest of them all. Aptly named ‘Hannibal’, this bird has been on a rampage since the beginning of the year, killing 15 of his pond-mates and attacking dozens more. “I’ve never come across such an aggressive bird,” said one wildlife worker, who describes Hannibal as a “horrible swan.” But it may not be entirely his fault.

Image credit: Alan Cleaver (Creative Commons) When I wrote about UK Conservatives’ Big Society campaign as an alternative to Big Government, commenters were skeptical. Yet there has been a lot of (admittedly guarded) interest from grassroots green groups like the Transition Movement . After all, “think global, act local” has been a mantra of the environmental movement for decades. But ho… Read the full story on TreeHugger

A lot of Torontonians are wondering where they will move after the election in October, as the candidates race to the bottom to outdo each other in slashing services, getting rid of bike lanes, building underground highways that make Boston’s Big Dig look small and cheap, and where the formerly leading candidate lost my vote with his rallying cry “Scarborough, not Copenhagen”! (Scarborough is a troubled, car-dominated suburb) That rallying cry was particularly troubling because Toronto could use a little Copenhagen, and even more Jönköping

Image: pdsphil, Flickr Could you get fired for riding your Segway to work? What if it needs a charge to get you back home again so you plug it in to your employer’s socket? Of course, you cannot answer such a question without a little bit of context. Maybe the guy parked his Segway in the boss’ office. Maybe it was just the last in a long line of provocations. But in this case, the context allows no such conclusion. The employee in question is a 41-year old computer technician, with 19 years of blemish-free performance.
