These are our five foster kittens, born here five weeks ago and almost ready to be adopted. They are doing fine, happily roughhousing with each other, and eating wet food. Sadly, their mom died a few days ago from pneumonia. She was an amazing cat and had she lived, we probably would have adopted her.

You can see closeups of all the kittens on Downtown Tomatoes.

Is this why the Clinton’s delayed as long as they did on releasing their tax returns? Because this does not pass the smell test.

Bush’s administration. “What are they being paid for, and if it’s the Sheikh of Dubai paying the husband of somebody who might be the next president of the United States, what do they think they’re paying for?”

HuffPo is equally blunt.

What did Bill Clinton do to get $15m from Ron Burkle?

Rather than capture carbon and somehow store it, a new plan is being explored. Use that carbon to supply algae farms which will then convert the carbon into biofuel.

“The CO2 problem becomes an opportunity” for algae farms, Mettais said. He estimated that one tonne of CO2 could yield net revenues of around $165 if used as the feedstock for an algae farm.

Ecogeek has more.

Green Fuel Technologies is adding another environmental advantage, planning to hook their algae bioreactors up to the smoke stacks from power plants.

Wow. Yet another technology with the potential to change existing industries as well as create new entire new ones.
