The 20-something billionaire who lives here could buy and sell all of our houses/apartment complexes/mama’s couches at least a dozen times over without batting an eyelash. His father probably couldn’t. Can you guess who’s crib this is? According to TMZ , Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg will be calling this not-so-tiny house home for a little while. Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook and “Social Network” fame has made a big move — into a 3,800 square foot rental in Palo Alto, CA. Zuckerberg, whose estimated worth is $7 billion, now has to walk just a few blocks to work. The house has five bedrooms and four bathrooms, in case Sean Parker comes to visit. The home also has a tricked out security system. Nice to see a 26-year-old who knows how to manage his money. Wait. Why doesn’t Facebook guy OWN a house?!?!

The marriage of rocker John Mellencamp and wife Elaine has come to an end. A spokesman for the couple of nearly two decades says the two are “calling it a day,” adding: “John and Elaine Mellencamp are proud of their 20 years together and are very happy with their accomplishments both as parents and as a family.” John and Elaine have two sons. Both will remain in Indiana to raise the children, while it’s safe to assume John’s “Pink Houses” will remain in our heads forever. Thanks a lot, Ford!

‘We are marching a loop that spells out ‘OK Go’ through Los Angeles,’ frontman Damian Kulash explains to MTV News. By James Montgomery, with reporting by Kelly Marino Ok Go’s Tim Nordwind and Damian Kulash on the set of their video for “Back From Kathmandu” Photo: MTV News By now, thanks to their interpretive dance moves , treadmill heroics and Rube Goldberg machines, OK Go have basically become the premiere purveyors of gleefully ingenious, adorably low-budget music video magic. Which is just part of the reason why their latest endeavor — leading an impromptu parade through the streets of Los Angeles for no particular reason — also proved to be their most challenging: Seems no matter how they figured it, they just didn’t have the cash to make it happen. “We have wanted to have a big street parade for a long time,” OK Go frontman Damian Kulash told MTV News. “Our last album, we toured on for almost three years, and we were opening for these massive bands — we’d play for 25-30,000 people a night — and it would feel like a job. “And then we spent a weekend in New Orleans and saw a bunch of second line parades, and realized music doesn’t need to be about the product you make all the time, it doesn’t have to be about recordings or videos or anything; it can be about getting a bung-load of people together and making sound. “So we’ve wanted to do a street parade for a long time,” he continued. “The problem is: In Los Angeles, [you need] city permits, and you can’t really get a couple hundred people together to play music without paying the city a bunch of money.” Luckily — much like they did when they made their massive “This Too Shall Pass” clip — OK Go found a corporate sponsor willing to help foot the bill. Teaming with the folks at Range Rover, they designed a parade route using the company’s Pulse of the City GPS app and invited their fans to take part in their large-scale “art project.” “The idea is … we are going to make one giant painting, essentially, with Los Angeles. There’s a free application that tracks where you go,” Kulash explained. “We are marching a loop that spells out ‘OK Go’ through Los Angeles. We’re hoping when people see this, they’ll think, ‘That’s a great idea. I’m going to get into my car and drive all over Southeast Asia and make the Mona Lisa!’ ” And so, last month, they marched an army of about 150 through gridlocked traffic and neighborhood streets — playing their own songs and covers, such as Outkast’s “Hey Ya” and Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger” — and assembled the footage into a video for their song “Back From Kathmandu.” The end result premiered Monday, and, while it’s another fitting addition to the band’s already-impressive video reel, to the guys in the band, it’s also something more. “It’s our art project, and, in a way, it’s helped me discover parts of Los Angeles I never knew existed,” Kulash said. “On the smaller side streets, people come streaming out of their houses, and all the kids join the parade. Everybody’s leaning out of their houses, and it makes you feel the community of Los Angeles in a way that’s generally hard to do because you usually drive through it.” Have you seen the “Back From Kathmandu” video?

Many of us have a tangled mess of holiday lights in a box in the attic. Every year we bring it out, untangle them, spend hours searching for the one burned out bulb, and hang them on our houses. In addition to all of this effort, the lights use a lot of electricity. You would be surprised by how little of … Read the full story on TreeHugger

THEIR time is up – Australia has waited 17 days and now three men will decide who will form government. Since the Gillard Government went into caretaker mode almost two months ago, thousands of cancer patients have gone without drug treatments, pay rises have been delayed and a solution to the asylum seeker issue is on hold. With national retailers and business leaders claiming consumer confidence was also being affected by the uncertainty, the way is finally clear for Bob Katter, Rob Oakeshott and Tony Windsor to make a decision. Late yesterday, agreement was reached with Tony Abbott on critical parliamentary reforms already agreed to by Julia Gillard. As Labor sources revealed the “momentum” appeared to be going their way, Coalition insiders said a “realism” had set in that it was unlikely to go theirs. Both major parties yesterday also offered unprecedented regional development packages in a final round of meetings with the independents. Sources close to the negotiations said both sides had offered “significant” regional development assistance, including prime ministerial oversight of regional and rural policy as well as funding for regional infrastructure. Ms Gillard needs only one of the three independent's support to take Labor to 75 out of the 150 seats in Parliament, one short of being able to form government, but denying Mr Abbott government as well. To avoid a deadlock and a return to the polls at least two would have to back Labor, or all three would need to go with the Coalition. Mr Oakeshott yesterday alluded to the possibility that they were split in who to support: “It does look like we may have to make some choices about whether we stick together or not.” But the long wait for government is starting to take its toll on the lives of Australians. Patients with bowel cancer and those at risk of acute myeloid leukemia are waiting for a government to be formed so it can rubber stamp an expert government committee's recommendation it subsidise two new high-cost drugs – the $20,000-a-year Erbitux and $40,000-a-year Vidaza. Dr Anna Williamson from the Leukemia Foundation said some patients were talking about mortgaging their houses to pay for the drugs as they feared the ongoing delay in approving subsidies could endanger their lives. A national equal pay case for 200,000 social workers has also been affected. A new pipeline to improve water supply water to Canberra, which is still facing water restrictions, is on hold waiting approval from Environment Minister Peter Garrett. Negotiations over a new offshore refugee processing centre in either East Timor or Nauru can't take place during the caretaker period, while more boatloads of asylum seekers arrive. Retail figures show Australians are delaying purchases on big-ticket items such as whitegoods and furniture, a delay which retail groups believe is so consumers can ascertain which policy direction a new government will take. “We want a decision as soon as possible, but certainly we want to ensure that whatever decision is made is made in the interests of the country,” Australian Retailers Association director Russell Zimmerman said. added by: eden49

All Photos: The Hemp Builder The house you don’t need to render, plaster, paint or insulate. The house with the building material that you can grow on one hectare (2.5 acres) of land. The same building material you can process yourself with standard machinery available at your hardware store. The house whose walls lock away over 110 kg (240 lb) of carbon per cubic metre. Impressive claims. What is this boastful house made of? Hemp. The whole hemp. We’ve talked before about hemp bales and even hempcrete. But this appears to be something new….

PHOTO: The last rhinoceros cow in Krugersdorp park, South Africa, bled to death on Wednesday after poachers hacked off her horn. Photograph: Reuters Poachers kill last female rhino in South African park for prized horn – Record levels of poaching are endangering survival of rhinoceros in South Africa South African wildlife experts are calling for urgent action against poachers after the last female rhinoceros in a popular game reserve near Johannesburg bled to death after having its horn hacked off. Wildlife officials say poaching for the prized horns has now reached an all-time high. “Last year, 129 rhinos were killed for their horns in South Africa. This year, we have already had 136 deaths,” said Japie Mostert, chief game ranger at the 1,500-hectare Krugersdorp game reserve. The gang used tranquilliser guns and a helicopter to bring down the nine-year-old rhino cow. Her distraught calf was moved to a nearby estate where it was introduced to two other orphaned white rhinos. Wanda Mkutshulwa, a spokeswoman for South African National Parks, said investigations into the growing number of incidents had been shifted to the country's organised crime unit. “We are dealing with very focused criminals. Police need to help game reserves because they are not at all equipped to handle crime on such an organised level,'' she said. Rhino horn consists of compressed keratin fibre – similar to hair – and in many Asian cultures it is a fundamental ingredient in traditional medicines. Mkutshulwa said poaching was also rife in the Kruger Park. Five men were arrested there in the past week alone – four of whom were caught with two bloodied rhino horns, AK-47 assault rifles, bolt-action rifles and an axe. Krugersdorp game reserve attracts at least 200,000 visitors every year. It is also close to a private airport, which may have been used by the poachers. “The exercise takes them very little time,” Mostert said. “They first fly over the park in the late afternoon to locate where the rhino is grazing. Then they return at night and dart the animal from the air. The tranquilliser takes less than seven minutes to act. “They saw off the horns with a chainsaw. They do not even need to switch off the rotors of the helicopter. We do not hear anything because our houses are too far away. The animal dies either from an overdose of tranquilliser or bleeds to death.” The committee of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (Cites) warned last year that rhino poaching had reached an all-time high. The Cites conference in Geneva in July 2009 heard that Asia's economic expansion had fuelled the market in rhino horns. The horns are also used in the Middle East to make handles for ornamental daggers. Cites said demand for them had begun to soar in recent years. In the five years up to 2005, an average of only 36 rhinos had been killed each year. Conservationists estimate that there are only 18,000 black and white rhinos in Africa, down from 65,000 in the 1970s. Mostert, who has been a ranger for 20 years, said the animals fetch up to 1m rand (

If you're like most Americans, there's probably been a time in your life when you've been sitting in church, listening to a particularly ennui-inducing homily or enduring another warbly version of “Holy Holy Holy” and thought, “Man! I could really reach for some steel right now, squeeze off a few rounds, and let these fools know what the score is!” Well, in Louisiana, Governor Bobby Jindal has recently signed into law a measure that would allow you to at least feel comforted by the presence of your gun in the house of the Lord. From the New Orleans Times-Picayune: Gov. Bobby Jindal has signed into law one of the more controversial bills from the recent legislative session, one allowing guns to be carried into houses of worship. [State Representative Henry] Burns' [R-Haughton] bill would authorize persons who qualified to carry concealed weapons having passed the training and background checks to bring them to churches, mosques, synagogues or other houses of worship as part of a security force. I am only too sure that a law allowing mosque-goers to carry guns to service will not rile up Louisiana's paranoiacs at all! Some restrictions apply. The “head of the religious institution” would have to “announce verbally or in weekly newsletters or bulletins that there will be individuals armed on the property as members of he security force,” and those lucky individuals would have to receive “eight hours of tactical training each year.” So, why is all of this necessary? Basically, Representative Burns is concerned about a possible “First Sunday scenario”: Burns contended that religious institutions in crime-ridden or “declining neighborhoods” need the added protection to ward off thieves and muggers. added by: singrrr
