Gohmert: Obama Stirring up 'Racial Tension and Violence'
Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) yesterday maintained that President Obama is stirring up "racial tension and violence" to a point not experienced in decades. While speaking to conservative talk show host Steve Malzberg about the Department of Justice's drug sentencing reforms, Gohmert agreed with Malzberg's charge that the new policy was "insane" but added that he was pleased the DOJ acknowledged the decline in violent crime.
"I tell you what though, in that release there was a great statement that I'm glad somebody in this administration finally admitted because they're constantly screaming about all the hate violence and all of this kind of stuff," Gohmert said. "Of course we know that this president and this administration has done more to stir up racial tension and violence than any administration since, you know, the sixties. I thought that we were going to have a post-racial president and he's become the president of division, of envy, of jealousy."
"They say on the one hand that violence is up and we got to do all these things, violence isn't up, it's down," he continued.

Library may be based at school
Relevant offers
Moves to test whether a proposed new library in Frankton could be run in conjunction with Wakatipu High School when it moves to Remarkables Park in 2018 have begun.
Findings of the Queenstown Lakes District Council's strategic review of district-wide library services resulted in a raft of short, medium and long-term recommendations for library management, and point towards riding the ever-breaking wave of technological advances to keep libraries relevant and user friendly.
Key amongst the initial long-term recommendations was that Frankton could receive a library which would "meet growth and population movement and look to include related facilities such as a learning centre and cafe," at least five years into the future.
However, during recent public forums at Queenstown's and Wanaka's libraries the idea of combining a Frankton library with Wakatipu High School was raised.
At last Thursday's full council meeting that idea received immediate traction, with a recommendation adopted to open dialogue with all parties needed, should the idea become a reality.
Mayor Vanessa van Uden said although the idea was not yet in the council's daft copy of the Annual Plan - moves could start to be made to investigate the possibility and feasibility of a library servicing both Wakatipu High School pupils and the public.
"We will start conversations with the Ministry of Education and Wakatipu High School Board re co-location at the Wakatipu High School site in Remarkables Park."
The high school's board of trustees chairman Alistair Nicholson said the board's first meeting with the Ministry of Education in regards to the building on the new site only happened on Monday. This was the start of a huge, ongoing project where the board would be covering new terrain and learning as it went, so it was too early to make any plans.
"Philosophically the board is open to these proposals because they help us engage with our community, but at this time any specific proposal has to be considered in the wider context that we have a huge project to get into action first," Mr Nicholson said.

6 theft suspects arrested in Dipolog CityJune 9, 2013 8:49 pm
Zamboanga City: Police arrested six people who allegedly stole the handbag of a shopper in Dipolog City in Zamboanga del Norte over the weekend.
Police said that, the suspects believed to be part of a robbery gang, were arrested with the help of footages from a security camera installed inside the Dipolog Center Mall where the group took the bag of Rosalie Pagasian, 40, a resident of Roxas town.
Authorities said that the woman was shopping with her husband Noel Pagasian, 42, when they lost the bag which was placed in a pushcart.
The couple sought the help of the mall's security personnel and they were able to identify the suspects with the help of the footages and phoned the police to report the crime.
Policemen led by Sr. Insp. Rolando Matinong tracked down the suspects at a flea market and arrested them one by one.
The suspects have been identified by the police as Felicisimo Bacalso, 68; Jofel Bacalso, 31; Johnver de la Cruz, 22; Carla Natividad, 34; Fe Piñon, 52; Victoria Bacalso, 60; all of Kolambogan town in Lanao del Norte province.
Police said that they recovered the woman's bag containing cellphones, money and important documents. It was not immediately known whether the couple would file criminal charges against the gang.

Move By Bike!Written by Boston Biker on Jun 23
Last October I built myself a rather fetching bicycle trailer. This summer I used that bad boy to move every single thing I owned from one part of Somerville down the street about a mile to another part of Somerville. And let me tell you, it was SO MUCH FUN!!!
As you can see I moved EVERYTHING. Books, plants, random stuff, furniture, my bed, everything. The trailer was rock solid, even with several hundred pounds of books in boxes in the back. There were hills, there were pot holes, there were tight turns, not a single thing fell out. From a purely mechanical aspect everything was top notch. When I built the trailer I was worried that it's weak point would be the hitch connection, and it did get a little stress, but it held up well. I am going to get a steel plate and bolt it through the first couple rows of cross bars, just to put my mind to rest for future moves.
The whole business took about 4 days, I made about 4 trips a day (sometimes a bit more), the pace was relaxed and I never got too wore out, or too sore from doing everything at once. I took about a week, but if I had to I could have done it all in a weekend.
This is my second cargo bike move, but the first one I ever did by myself. People smiled at me from the side of the road, and even from cars. I had a great time and would totally do it again!

New Bike Kitchen Co-Op In SomervilleWritten by Boston Biker on May 11
This sounds awesome! A bike co-op where you can use the tools, and the collective information of the folks around you for a very reasonable price.
The Somerville Bike Kitchen (SBK) is a bicycle repair cooperative where members of the community can repair their own bikes, learn about about bike repair and attend bike events. The SBK located in a 190 sq. ft. space just outside of Davis Sq. The space is managed by four volunteer staff members and is open to the public and members for drop-in hours one night a week.
Presently, the space is open to the public and members from 6pm to 9pm every Tuesday evening. We are just getting started and are working toward having having more drop-in hours. Bike stands and tools are available on a first come first serve basis.

How To Build A 1000$ Bicycle Trailer For $450Written by Boston Biker on Oct 24
I have always wanted a huge ass bicycle trailer. Something I can pile improbable amounts of stuff on, something I can use to grab dumpster dived treasures, something I could move to a new apartment with. Something that can transport all my dreams! In short something like this.
There is only one problem…I don't have $975 (plus shipping) to blow on a bike trailer. For that kind of money I could buy a really nice road bike, or you know, eat food and pay rent.
But as so often is the case,where there is a will there is a way. After looking at this picture for a while:
I had a dream, a dream that would become this:
Not only was 1/2 the cost, but it was fall off a log easy to construct!
I started off my journey thinking that I could take an aluminum ladder, and mount some wheels on it. And you know what I could have done that, and it would have worked, and it wouldn't have been too bad. But it would have been a lot less beefy, and I wanted beefy. I wanted something that would carry a stack of 2×4's, or a bunch of boxes of stuff, or a kitchen table, something with a contained cargo area, and something that would look nice. so I kept thinking.
I knew I wanted it to be aluminium, it would be light, strong, rust proof, and wouldn't require welding. I wanted it to be an awful lot like that $975 Bikes At Work trailer.
While combing their website for pictures to get ideas, I saw that they actually sold most of the accessories I would need to make a cheaper trailer, if only I could find the perfect trailer bed.
So I went to Google and typed in "extruded aluminium" and low and behold this bad boy popped up on amazon.
I started reading…aluminum check, strong check, 500lb load limit check, side rails check, and bless my nippers the perfect size…no really like absolutely perfect to interface with all the accessories I was going to buy from Bikes At Work.
If that wasn't enough, the stars had aligned to provide me with $300 of cash I wasn't expecting. Making the final cost for this entire thing a scant $150 out of my pocket. It was a sign.
I ordered one and it was here in three days, took about half an hour to assemble. The only changes I made to the design was I removed the trailer hitch (didn't need that), which involved simply pulling it out and setting it aside.
I also moved the included reflectors from the side to the back, as they would do a lot more good back there.
Moving the reflectors was as easy as swapping a two holed piece of aluminum, with a one hole piece. All you need to assemble this cargo rack is a screw driver, and an adjustable wrench, it comes with all the hardware you will need.
Next up was the accessories needed to turn what was supposed to be attached to the back of an SUV, to the back of my bike.
Here is what I ended up buying from Bikes At Work:
The entire works (this is the box the cargo carrier came in, all these parts were actually packed in a very tiny box)
The entire list (buy it all here):
Bicycle trailer axle $60
Bicycle trailer hitch $50
Trailer hitch pin $4
Towbar $120
tubes for tires $7
Tires $26
Rims with bearings $85
With shipping the entire thing came to $370 + $80 for the cargo holder (it was on sale when I got it) = ~$450.
Now the fun part, putting it all together!
First thing I did was bust out my air pump and tire levers and assemble the wheels.
Easy, but if you have never assembled a tire to a rim simply search youtube for many good videos.
Next I got the axle and measured for the mounting holes to hold it to the base. The axle comes pre-drilled with the two holes and the hardware you will need to mount it, all you need to do is drill the correct sized hole in the base of the cargo holder. Aluminum is soft, and I used a hand drill (not even an electric one) and was done in a couple minutes.
The axle fits perfectly into the hole left from the trailer hitch bar. Simply center, measure, and drill. Its easier if you leave the larger side panels off for this, as it allows you to get in there with the drill easier.
Center the axle (doesn't have to be perfect, but does have to be the same on both sides so the axle is straight, could have just as easily shoved it to one side)
Move the axle back and forth until the same out sticks out of both sides, mark with a marker.
Flip the cargo holder back over, measure how far in the mounting hole goes from that mark.
Measure that far in and drill a hole large enough to hold the bolt that comes with the axle. To be clear you drill the hole in the top of the cargo holder, not the underside, there is no need to alter the underside. Take extra care on this step as its the one of only two parts you are going to alter, measure 4-5 times, drill once. The extra time you spend will keep your trailer with a minimum of extra holes in it.
Drop the bolt into the hole. Do the same on the other side.
Next up you need to mount the axle. Put the cargo holder top side up on a table, and look through the hole, line up the bolts with the hole and affix the nuts.
The bolts handing from the top.
The axle mounted with the nuts attached. I found it easy to hold the nuts with pliers while cranking the nut above with an adjustable wrench
Get them nice and snug. The nice thing about both the cargo holder, and the accessories is they both come with locking nuts that have an anti-vibration rubber gasket in them to keep them from working loose from vibration. Did I mention that you wont need to buy a single nut or bolt for this project, literally every single part you need comes included.
Next up attach the wheels.
Attach the (included) spacer.
Slide towards the cargo holder.
Slide on your assembled wheels (the bearings come already seated, no need to put them in!), and attach the (included) pin that keeps the wheels from sliding off.
Now the tricky part. The Bikes at Work trailer hitch ALMOST fits perfectly on this rig, but you will need to make some minor adjustments. Specifically you will need to cut four small holes into the end of the cargo holder that will hold the hitch (the end that doesn't have the reflectors).
I used a dremel with a cutting disk, and while it was loud (where ear plugs) and dusty (use a breathing mask and safety goggles), it only took about 10 minutes and as aluminum is soft as butter was easy too.
The hitch comes with two mounting bars, but the included u-bolts to hold the hitch are not long enough to mount them without the cut outs. The way the cargo trailer is built cutting larger cut outs would have potentially weakened it, which I didn't want at this important connection.
You can see the finished product below.
This is what it looks like from the front, you can see the two mounting bars are "inside" the beam. They are actually mounted in a bit of overhang. The square aluminum bar they are mounted into has a flange that sticks out for extra rigidity and I didn't want to simply make cut outs that went all the way through the flange as I was worried it would buckle, or make a weak point, so I cut the slots as close to the main bar as I could without piercing it. This way they set right up against the main bar, and leave as much as the flange intact as possible.
The view from above showing how the bars are mounted back from the edge. The flange actually starts right on the right side of the bars. This allows the forward force from bicycle to be transferred right into the largest strongest part of the bar, rather than into the thing fragile flange system, while at the same time puts minimum strain on those flanges by only cutting out a small slot.
A side view, you can see that the round hitch is simple centered in the middle of the bar (the top part is more flange), and then using all the (included) hardware clamped down. Use these instructions (pdf) from Bikes at Work to see how the hitch bar attaches to the trailer (with some modifications of course). You will have one small piece left over that was designed to interface with the BAW trailer, you can do whatever you want with it.
That's it! You just made a trailer my friend! Next up just mount the bike half of the hitch with (the included) hardware. Use these instructions (pdf) if you need help.
Yes I am mounting it to my fixed gear, that's the only bike I have right now. I will buy a cheap mountain bike for this bad boy for really big jobs.
This is the little magic mount that keeps your trailer rock solid, use the (included) hitch pin to attach to the trailer bar.
Look at that beauty!
I did some testing and found that you might have to slightly bend the bottom of the pins that hold the wheels on to keep them from rubbing on the wheels (two seconds with a pair of pliers), you will also want to be careful about how you load the weight, as the pivot point is right in the middle, really heavy loads should be placed in the middle or the front, or even better distributed evenly throughout.
I rode around the neighborhood, taking tight turns, going off curbs, and even placing a bunch of boxes of heavy stuff in the back of the trailer, and I have to say, this thing is solid as a rock. Nothing creaks, nothing shifts, nothing even makes noise. Obviously I was limited to just the one gear, but even with the totally wrong gearing it was easy as pie to carry even heavy loads with this guy. The weight is there yes, but you barely feel it, the hitch arm gives you acres of room for even tight turns, in short this trailer is my new favorite thing. If you see someone hauling a shit load of stuff all over town with a crazy grin on their face, it might just be me.
I am so pleased with how easy this was! If not for the extra $300 bucks I had come into I probably would have made this out of cheaper parts, but I didn't and I am so happy with how rock solid all of this is. I will post a followup in a couple weeks with what I have used it for.

Folding Bike HelmetWritten by Boston Biker on May 08
Hmmm…I never really had trouble figuring out what to do with my "old fashion" "non-folding" bike helmet. But this looks interesting.
And they claim it will meet crash test standards as well.
Before it can be sold in the U.S., it must meet safety standards set by the Consumer Products Safety Commission. Those tests measure the G-force of a helmet-covered fake head dropped onto anvils.
"The factory is building it to pass U.S. testing standards, but whilst we are in the preproduction stage, we can't have official testing," Woolf says in an e-mail. "The factory makes millions of helmets for the U.S. market each year and has the largest in-house helmet testing facility in the world, so they know the standards that they are going to need to meet."

text: MilestonePod is a really interesting device for runners and walkers. On first glance, it looks basic. It doesn't look high tech at all. By design, it's simple. It's attached to your shoe, and it's always tracking your runs/walks. You can then sync the device over Bluetooth to their iPhone or Android apps. There is no start or stop button. You simply get moving, and the device tracks your steps. At $25, MilestonePod is a really in-expensive fitness tracker for runners of any kind.

A World Between Waves

Volcanic Origins
The only way to get to know a volcano, Thomas Jaggar believed, is to live with it.
He built his home on stilts, wedged into a crack in an immensity of dark volcanic rock on the southeast flank of the island of Hawai'i—latitude 19 degrees 5 minutes 47 seconds N, longitude 155 degrees 15 minutes 37 seconds W—at an altitude of four thousand feet, precisely so that he could go to bed at night and wake in the morning snug within the rim of the most continuously active volcano of the world.
After breakfast he would stride through the mountain mists to the cliff face of the crater of Kilauea and clamber two hundred feet down a rope ladder, to stand with nothing between him and the firepit Halema'uma'u. Here he was Thomas Augustus Jaggar, Jr., a human being of the early twentieth century, with his blood heat set by evolution at 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, wearing the necktie of a serious volcano scientist, measuring the level of a perpetual lava lake that simmered and bubbled and fumed in his eyes. Molten lava, pushing right up at him out of the earth's magma, eighteen hundred degrees and more at the surface. Primordial heat, searing the bare skin of his unbearded, unguarded face.
Jaggar loved to teeter on the very edge of personal physical scorching. He lived and breathed volcanoes. He sniffed his breakfast egg with its faint sulfurous smell and wondered if the egg of all life might be volcanic in origin, if evolution went back beyond the living embryo to the chemistry of volcanoes—sulfur, hydrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, ingredients of the egg and ingredients of the volcano.
He smelled out volcanoes wherever they were on earth. At Bogoslof in the Aleutians he saw hot lava tumbling into the ocean, the beaches aroar with sea lions, the steaming air above screaming with birds, life and deadly volcanism flourishing together. At St. Pierre in Martinique, molasses and Caribbean rum flowed like lava in the streets after Mount Pelée laid waste to the town in 1902, and Jaggar saw human beings dead by the hundreds, close up, a baby dead in an iron cradle, a big fellow dead on his back in a deep baker's oven—the flesh shriveled and drawn away from his joints by the heat—not of baking but of volcanism. In Japan he had himself rowed out in a little skiff to look down over a hot lava tongue licking the sea floor below. He trailed a thermometer in the boiling water. All about him floated dead fish, belly up, boiled. If the tiny boat should capsize, Jaggar—the pre-eminent American volcano scientist of his day, with three degrees from Harvard and a worldwide reputation, geology professor to the young Franklin Delano Roosevelt—would boil. He loved every moment of it.
In the furious world of volcanic eruptions Kilauea was as gentle and generous as a volcano could be, active almost perpetually, giving out especially liquid lavas that often fountained spectacularly, making for wonderful viewing, but not normally going off with a deadly bang. People most times ran toward Kilauea to watch, rather than away for their lives. And when the volcano was quiet tourists could saunter down into Halema'uma'u with an egg in a pan and fry it on moving lava, and write home about this strange, entertaining breakfast, being sure before mailing their postal card to scorch its edges a toasty Halema'uma'u brown.
Everything that made Kilauea an ideal tourist attraction made it ideal for continuous scientific study—Jaggar's life passion. Early in the twentieth century, when he was climbing to the world peaks of his profession, only one permanent volcano observatory existed on the face of the earth, at Vesuvius. Jaggar argued that the United States should have its own observatory, and for the sake of the best science it should be located at Kilauea. There, as nowhere else in the world, a volcano could be studied in all its phases—before, during, and after eruptions. And the resident observer—of course—should be no one but Thomas Jaggar. Jaggar was the primordial force behind the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory. He started work in 1912, in a little seismometer vault dug out of ash and pumice, rimside, five minutes from his house. He observed nonstop. He was forever designing new monitoring instruments (though none of them ever matched the fine tuning of his collie dog, Teddy, a domesticated sensing device who always knew before anyone else when Kilauea was preparing to perform). In good times Jaggar could readily raise research money, public and private. In bad times he raised pigs to meet the payroll. Good times and bad, he published scientific papers continuously, like an intellectual lava flow from Kilauea, an outwelling that pushed the world science of volcanology ever forward into the twentieth century.
Jaggar had a wife named Isabel. On his endless expeditions across newly cooled volcanic rock she looked after the food. She took dictation for his close-up eyewitness reports of eruptions. Thomas died before Isabel. She had his body cremated, respectably committed to controlled flame, and later, when she felt the moment was right for her own private ceremony, she secretly scattered his ashes in a greater fire—the perpetual fire of Jaggar's life, Halema'uma'u at Kilauea.
ALWAYS think in millions of years, said Jaggar, and everything is in motion to one who senses slow motion. Think of the Hawaiian archipelago in million-year motion.
The islands, all of them volcanic, were formed in turn by upwellings from an eruptive hot spot below the ocean floor. Then in turn they were rafted away with the slow, slow movement of the huge Pacific Plate over the earth's mantle, seventy million years of geological time travel, north and west across the Tropic of Cancer, worn by wind and rain, sinking gradually under their own weight as they went, oldest first, back beneath the surface of the sea.
Today there are eight major islands and more than 120 smaller islands, pinnacles, reefs, and shoals. The oldest and farthest to the north and west have disappeared below the sea and are now underwater seamounts. Kure and Midway are atolls with coral reefs and highest points of no more than a few score feet. More than fifteen hundred miles south and east of Kure, offshore of the island of Hawai'i, a new island is forming. Still a half mile and several thousand years of time yet below the ocean surface, it already has a name: Lo'ihi.
Most recently emerged of the main islands is Hawai'i, often called the Big Island. Shaped by the five volcanoes, it shows the huge creative force of volcanism. Mauna Loa, still active, rises more than 29,000 feet from the ocean floor, 13,677 feet from sea level to summit. It is 10,000 cubic miles in bulk, meaning it is the biggest single volcanic structure on earth—a hundred times bigger than Shasta or Fujiyama, indeed the biggest such feature in the solar system anywhere between the sun and the planet Mars.
* * *
THE Hawaiian chain exists in the most profound oceanic isolation on the face of the globe, more than two thousand miles from the closest continental land mass.
Life had to come from far away, blowing in on the winds, floating in on ocean currents, rafting in on logs swept from the continents, touching down with migratory birds on their transoceanic flights.
In this sterile island world of volcanic rock and salt spray, plants established themselves only at the rate of perhaps one species in each hundred thousand years. No amphibian or land reptile successfully crossed the ocean to Hawai'i. No oak, no pine, no sequoia. No big game animal came from America or Asia, nor any beast of burden. In seventy million years only two mammals settled in: one for land, a hoary bat, solitary, nocturnal, reddish-gray and weighing less than an ounce; and one for sea, a monk seal of primitive habits.
The volcanic shapes of the islands were sculpted by wind and weather, and a varied physical foundation was laid down upon which an enormous range of life forms developed. A mountain peak on Kaua'i, Wai'ale'ale, is the wettest spot on earth (at least the wettest where anyone has maintained a rain gauge). Other, higher summits—Haleakala on Maui, Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa on the Big Island—are alpine stone deserts. Within a few miles of each other on any of the main islands there may be tropical rain forest, lowlying drylands, sunstruck coastal dunes, and lightless lava tubes.
In these extravagantly varied habitats immigrant species adapted, and new species evolved, life forms never before seen on earth. One kind of drosophilid fly became eight hundred. Three hundred fifty kinds of immigrant insects evolved into over ten thousand native Hawaiian species. Twenty species of land snails became a thousand. Two hundred fifty flowering plants became eighteen hundred. The silversword colonized from bog to cinder desert. The 'ohi'a lehua found ways to live almost everywhere, from new lava to ancient bog, and in the process took on an abundance of different forms. And the native Hawaiian honeycreepers changed so much as they adapted to the wide range of island habitats that they would have astonished Charles Darwin.
In the biological history of Hawai'i these are the big, sweeping developments, landmarks of worldwide significance. Other native creatures developed more modestly, but no less remarkably. Crickets by the shore, so adapted to salt spray that away from it they cannot survive. In the rain forest, carnivorous green caterpillars. At the extreme freezing height of a stone desert summit, the wekiu bug, so finely adapted to cold that if you take it in your hand—blood heat 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit—its proteins cook.
All of this development and change occurred over millions of years. Plants and animals between them created soil, soil trapped moisture, moisture allowed more and more growth, until forests appeared which influenced climate. In all the different ecological zones of Hawai'i, particular groups of interrelated species clustered together. These groups developed into something that was more than the sum of their parts. They were interrelated, interactive, interdependent, promoting each other's survival. They became, in other words, natural communities.
And these elegant associations became numerous. In less than sixty-five hundred square miles of land mass, there can be identified more than one hundred fifty kinds of natural communities, each community a small island of life harbored within the larger islands of life that are the Hawaiian Islands.
Coasts & Sea Cliffs
One of the largest seabird colonies in the tropical world, for diversity and sheer numbers, is in the Hawaiian Islands.
During quiet times there you might not quite register this, you might be aware of nothing more than the music of waves on coral sand and the sound of the albatrosses clashing their beaks as they dance, and you might well doze off.
Your eyes would be opened by the sooty terns. Suddenly one day they appear, by the scores of thousands, darkening the sky. Then they are on the ground, laying their eggs. After that, every day at dawn, they all go up in the air at once making a tremendous racket. No need for a morning alarm, just lie there and the sooty terns will go off. And at dusk off they go again.
The Hawaiian monk seal ignores this. It lolls all day on the beach—looking for shade, settling into moist sand, flippering to the water to cool off, shifting up the dunes at night to sleep out of reach of the waves. That is its routine, for months at a time.
The female Hawaiian green sea turtle has her own precise interest in sand temperature. She comes ashore in the dark of night, silently, to lay her eggs, setting them in the sand at a depth where heat and moisture are exactly right for hatching. By morning when the tern alarm goes off she has departed, leaving only her flipper tracks above the tide mark.
All this on a single Hawaiian island. But not within hundreds of miles of urbanized Honolulu. The green turtle egg does not tolerate human presence; just the heedless thump of five-toed feet on sand above can abort a hatching below. The monk seal wants to breed in privacy away from humans. And the sooty tern, the albatross, and the fourteen other breeding species of that immense seabird colony—all congregate on a tiny raised coral atoll, Laysan, highest point perhaps forty feet, latitude 25 degrees 42 minutes 41 seconds N, longitude 171 degrees 44 minutes 06 seconds W, part of the state of Hawai'i, but uninhabited and more than eight hundred sea miles northwest of Honolulu.
THE first men on Laysan in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries were sealers, guano diggers, feather collectors—all takers. And then, with the idea of contributing, a man from Honolulu introduced rabbits. What he contributed was devastation. Within twenty years the rabbits ate virtually everything green on Laysan all the way down to the nubs, turning the atoll into a sand desert, just four of the twenty-five plant species surviving in small numbers and several bird species pushed to extinction by having their habitat gnawed out from under them.
A scientific expedition came in 1923 to get rid of the rabbits. One day the shooters spotted three birds, Laysan honeycreepers. The next day a sand storm blew up, gale force, and stung and buffeted all three birds to death—the last of their kind on earth, the only songbirds in the documented history of the world to go extinct within sight and sound of humankind, with the time of the end recorded to the hour.
Over the next few years the Laysan teal also came to the very brink of extinction. In all the world these birds lived only on Laysan, around a small lagoon, no more than a couple of square miles of habitat. They stepped among beach morning glory and sedge, puddled about potholes feeding on insects, and were never sufficiently shrewd about evading humans. The guano diggers slaughtered them, because they were there. By the 1920s, after those introduced rabbits had done their worst to Laysan's green growing things, there were many more teal skinned and stuffed in the world's museums than live ones left around their home lagoon. In 1930 a man from Honolulu found a last individual, a female fluttering about, perhaps decoying him away from her nest. He found the nest with its clutch of white eggs—and every last shell was punctured by the beak of a raiding curlew.
Yet the teal of Laysan survived. How? Well, by biological providence the female had enough semen in her oviduct to fertilize a second clutch of eggs. At least that is the story, and of course it is a wonderful tale of biological brinkmanship.
Did this small reproductive miracle actually occur? Or did the man from Honolulu simply fail to spot the male of the pair? Or was there another female hiding silent and motionless on her nest in the bunch grass? The true answer has blown away on the Laysan wind.
At any rate, after the last rabbits were killed the island began greening again, bird habitat came back, and within another twenty years—happy ending—the teal was on its way to recovery.
These days Laysan is legally protected from unthinking intrusion by twentieth-century human beings. It is once more a tiny window opening upon the biodiversity of the past. The window is small and distant, but through it can be glimpsed an island of life.
ON ALL the eight Hawaiian Islands, where a million twentieth-century human beings live, there is no place like Laysan. Yet one spot that does offer a sense of what Hawaiian strand and coast were like before the time of our species is a stretch of sand dunes called Mo'omomi on the island of Moloka'i.
Mo'omomi remains remote, uninhabited, a wild place. Walking there among great onshore riffles of wind-swept sand, you can easily find spots where the dunes have lithified—turned to sandy stone. And here erosion by wind and wave may bring to the present-day surface evidence of endemic native life forms long dead: shells of land snails, fossil bones of birds, an eagle, a giant flightless goose, a thick-billed crow, a long-legged, bird-eating owl.
Mo'omomi gives off a strong sense of uninterrupted connection with the old, the ancient, the slow motion of evolutionary time moving within the yet slower motion of geological time. No human beings live there. And that is precisely why, every so often, coming out of the northwest islands, there will appear at Mo'omomi a monk seal, looking to do nothing; or a female Hawaiian green sea turtle, to dig a perfectly conceived hole in the sand and lay her eggs by night; or a Laysan albatross, to cruise on the salty winds that blow forever over the dunes.

Well yeah, that couldn't have happened, Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a Velociraptor. Common knowledge.
I think environmentalism isn't really a matter of morality, at least not from the typical "save the planet" drivel you hear most people spout. Like I said earlier, it's a matter of self-preservation and, potentially, self-perfection. It's "right" to protect the environment because, even if we don't see the consequences today, at some point down the line our descendants will. And that much is black and white: either we take steps to preserve our interests as a species down the line, or we don't. There aren't really any other moral implications to it that I can think of.

The Oprah Winfrey Network Is Headed to WeHo

West Hollywood, meet your new neighbor: The Oprah Winfrey Network. Later this year, the cable channel will set up shop at The Lot, an office space and studio off of Santa Monica Boulevard.
