Two weekend days with sun? NEVAH! Let's celebrate with some links. Science:

Cricket farm wiped out by fast moving virus
Do they have an app for hand sanitizer? Demo iPads at city Apple stores are crawling with bacteria
Baby's first bacteria depend on route of delivery
Many dramatic research results rely on the reports of survey respondents, who are prone to error, exaggeration, and misperception. Is there any place for self-reported results in science?
Vultures use twigs to gather wool for nests

Other:

Let the Medicare physician payment cuts take effect
Today in the Gulf
Centrist and clueless
Louisiana Police Pull Over Activist at Behest of BP

Program Announcement: I'm Moving
September 1, 2011
I've dropped some hints in the past that my relationship with ScienceBlogs would be...altered. Well, I've decided to leave. Mostly, it had to do with the issue of pseudonymity, although I'm very excited to hang out my own shingle once again. I don't want to rehash the issue of pseudonymity,…
Note to Unions: This Is Not How You Build a Coalition
September 1, 2011
The old saw that 'we hang together or we get hung separately' is a perfect description of how the left has disintegrated into irrelevance. Too often, groups will focus on modest gains for their own narrow constituency, while selling out other allies. Over the long term, each component of the…

Meet the New New Math, Same As the Old New Math? What We Can Learn from Finland
August 31, 2011
Recently, The New York Times published an op-ed calling for curricular changes in K-12 math education: Today, American high schools offer a sequence of algebra, geometry, more algebra, pre-calculus and calculus (or a "reform" version in which these topics are interwoven). This has been codified by…

Lighting underwater photos
We see this happen all the time here in Hawaii: Tourists go snorkeling -- sometimes for the first time in their lives -- and they are excited by what they see. They decide they want to take pictures of all the pretty fishies and corals to show their friends back home. They buy a single use waterproof camera, they snap away, and they are sorely disappointed when they see the result. Most of the…

Hornet breaking the sound barrier
Isn't it lovely (it isn't new. The pic is from 1999 and I've seen it before. But seeing it on someone's wiki page reminded me). Far better than a Green Hornet. Or maybe you'd rather listen to the wabbit. [Update: see various comments. The situation is more complex than I though, and possibly not fully understood. See-also cute pix here -W]
