Custom sorting in App Drawer
Sorting folders and apps in custom way, like TouchWiz. Still allow the option to sort alphabetically and folders first, but make a custom sorting in both App Drawer and inside folders in App Drawer.
In many launchers like Xperia or Galaxy there's the manual rearrangement of the applications in the app drawer. I find it very convenient. The manual arrangement also could be introduced in the folders of the app drawer.

It will be awesome
It would be nice if nova launcher defs gave us an status update. I cant judge how difficult this is but as the started a year and a half ago that would be the least they could do
Matúš Mucha commented
Come on Nova, this should be your top priority.
David commented
Please Add Custom Sorting
Yes exactly @Aslanoo, Apex Launcher does already have this feature. If Apex can at least implement it so should Nova. I don't like how it's done on Apex though. The rearranging should be done in the app drawer while it is open. NOT in the Settings.
Aslanoo commented
guys buy apex launcher! has this feature and a lot more. Nova has nothing but it's name
It has 8,780 votes!!!!
How come this haven't been done yet!!!!!!
Make it happen please, hell make it a prime feature
Custom sorting not being possible is the only reason keeping me from using the app as default
abhishek lodha commented
comeon just add the feature
Please, this would make Nova Launcher perfect
Hi guys! Beautifil launcher! But this request has 8,600+ votes since 2012 and there's still nothing?
It is a basic feature, Nova Launcher. Why would you contuine to refuse these thousands of requests. Stupid me, I thought this would be a obvious include in the latest uopdate. I paid for this launcher then I deleted it because of this reason. Must be ran by the government?
Azad commented
Please Add Custom Sorting plz plz plz
If you developers can add some stupid new Android N features then you should be able to add a simple feature like this. What is wrong with you guys?
WOW...........8,601 votes for this feature...... And...... Nothing happened.
we need custom sort .. commented

Stefanos Dag commented
@nico I understand what you're saying and it makes sense. But it doesn't make sense when the developer add some other features seeing in the latest!!! android version but not such a needed feature.
Stefanos Dag commented
this is the most wanted feature for me. This, and the possibility to have free spots in the app drawer in every window.
Nico Tolvanen commented
Something that nova dev said in google+ "So here's how it works. Just because something is requested doesn't mean we(TeslaCoilSW/Nova Launcher) instantly implement the feature.
We base Nova Launcher heavily on Launcher3/Google Now Launcher and do a lot of the things they do within Nova Launcher.
Yes, we do things they don't do and they do things we don't do for various reasons.
Some things also happen to be OS specific. For example, the Marshmallow animation can only be used on devices running Marshmallow and not lower Android versions.
With that said, we didn't create this section just to put it on ignore so we can forget about feature requests. We happen to look at http://feedback.novalauncher.com quite regularly. But again, just because it's been requested 8,000+ times doesn't mean we're going to add it. It also doesn't mean that we're not going to add it.
As far as the sort feature within the app drawer, it's possible that's coming in the future and I'm not saying that just to make people happy.
But that doesn't mean it's going to be in beta-7, beta-8 or even in 4.3 final. It's a ton of code and work and for those that don't know Kevin does all of this by himself. I answer emails and stuff like that so I don't code or help in that area.
While I understand it's frustrating to see a feature request with 8,000+ votes over several years and it still not be implemented. But at the same time, Kevin does this by himself and surely the features that are within Nova Launcher currently are more than most launchers have.
We do our best to keep the app updated on a very regular basis and in a timely manner.
Hopefully this helps everyone here understand how it all works and trust me, Kevin works on Nova Launcher day in and day out, as well as TeslaUnread for that matter." (somebody requested a animation in desktop)

Little Cupcake has delicious Brooklyn Blackout cake and yummy cupcakes but I don't understand why they no longer make their fabulous angel food cake. It was light, moist and delicious. Please bring it back!!!!!
So this is really odd. I have been to their SoHo location and was throughly unimpressed. When I passed this while walking around Prospect Heights with my husband and I didn't put it together that this was another location of the same bakery until I came home and looked on Yelp at my old review. It was like this was...
I went to Little Cupcake, it has a great atmosphere! And their vegan gluten free cookies and cream cupcakes are AMAZING. I split one with a friend and we both regretted splitting it. So we each got another cupcake to go! I also got the cookies and cream cheesecake. It was good, but nowhere near the level as the cupcake...
Went with friends the other day. Has pretty good room inside to sit and some outside when weather permits. Have cookies, cupcakes, tarts and assorted desserts. They take credit card. Had the keylime tart and it was excellent: sweet and tart with the right amount of lime flavour.
Delicious cupcakes, with a very large selection of standard and creative varieties. My personal favorite is the red velvet, although every one I have had is great! There are outside tables in the nice weather and indoor seating as well. They also have very good coffee to go with the cupcakes.
Quaint little bakeshop that captures the spirit of Brooklyn. I travel to Brooklyn often for work and I never miss an opportunity to stop in for a Brooklyn Blackout Cupcake and coffee. The frosting is the best!
This was a nice little bake shop. They had a nice selection. We purchased a few chocolate cupcakes and one carrot cake cupcake. They were very good.
This is a bakery and a coffee shop. I purchased a dozen assorted cupcakes. The pastries are great, my favorite was a peanut butter and jelly cupcake. They offer unique flavors in a nice setting. Will visit again the next time I am in the neighborhood.
Moved to Bay Ridge a few months ago and I'm just now getting to know this shop...It's lovely! Has a great atmosphere, nice staff and fantastic dessert that taste homemade. Definitely a must visit when in the neighborhood.
My boyfriend has been coming to this bake shop for years, and he finally took me 2 weeks ago to taste their cupcakes and cakes. And my oh my I was not dissapointed! The place was adorable, the service was great, and the decor was awesome! All the employees were wearing plaid shirts with little bandanas that complimented their outfits....

7 Ridiculously Tacky Commercialized Christmas Tree Ornaments
'Cause nothing says Christmas like Diet Coke.
L.J. Williamson
You know that complaints about the commercialization of Christmas are as unfashionable as figgy pudding when "Your Ad Here"-equivalent Christmas ornaments are popular store items.
Companies like Coca-Cola pay big bucks to buy advertising space on billboards and bus stops, but they've cleverly figured out that some folks will actually pay for the privilege of giving away the underutilized advertising space on their Christmas trees. To wit: the Coke and Diet Coke can Christmas ornaments pictured above. The glitter glued to the edge of the cans ensures that no one will make the mistake of lifting one of these to their mouths, and it also saves you the trouble of gluing glitter onto one of your own empty Coke cans and hanging that on the tree.
Here are seven more corporate icons to deck the halls with:
L.J. Williamson
7. Sex And The City
It's so charming when Christmas ornaments include the word "sex" on them. The "hand-crafted" claim seems dubious, however. Maybe this ornament is intended to evoke memories of the beloved Christmas classic Sex And The City 2, in which the three wise men traveled on a shopping pilgrimage to Abu Dhabi, or something.

L.J. Williamson
4. Gene Simmons and Elvis
Mix and match? Gene Simmons and Elvis would probably never mix and they certainly don't match.
L.J. Williamson
3. Yoda and R2D2
Nice to know that R2 units are actually good for something -- like cracking one-centimeter-wide nuts. But of course, size matters not. If you're wondering whether these nutcrackers merely decorative or should you actually try to crack nuts with them, remember: do, or do not. There is no try.

2. iCarly
This one will be quite a conversation piece by the time Miranda Cosgrove winds up in rehab.
1. Jersey Shore
Having them on your TV is one thing, but having them on your family's Christmas tree is quite another. Although they might make an interesting addition to a nativity scene.

What is your favorite part about forensics?
We are under the impression that vampires don't exist. But, Vampire Forensics tells us differently. It is true that the word vampire makes us think of a "blood sucking" demon that walks the night. Vampires in this sense do not exist. However, the preconceived beliefs, legends, and folklore are traced back centuries. The title Vampire Forensics is a fitting title because basically the author was using forensic science to discover when and where the legend of vampires started. I think it is fascinating how this was achieved through the use of word roots, anthropological studies, and delving into the history of England, Germany, etc. This book is a tribute to all of those people who were accused of being vampires and had bricks shoved into their mouths as a result. If you are a vampire lover, I suggest you read Vampire Forensics so you could learn about our blood sucker friends.
This book is like watching the History channel about the origin of Vampires and it really lets you see the grotesque, twisted, and true side of the beginning of these legends. Nice to see something more on the historical side of vampires rather than the dreamy teen world or storytelling that has been more recently popular. For those of you who like those books, as well as the Anne Rice and Charlaine Harris novels just to name a few, you'll also find these really interesting to dig into! The research is done very well and it's a fast and easy read, you'll like to read the facts over and over again!

The concentrating of organisms at fronts: A cold-water fish and a warm-core Gulf Stream ring
Abstract:Net hauls made in and around a warm-core Gulf Stream ring in April and June 1982 suggest a concentrating of the mesopelagic fish Benthosema glaciale (family Myctophidae) in the frontal zone at the east edge of the ring. In April, Benthosema was found in very small numbers in the two-month old ring, as was to be expected from the subpolar-temperate distribution of this fish and the warm-water origin and age of the ring. By June, age-0 fish had been recruited to the population susceptible to capture by the midwater trawl. These young fish were about five times as abundant at the frontal zone of the ring and about twice as abundant in the ring center as in the adjacent Slope Water. It is proposed that the increased abundance at the ring front results from a concentrating of the original Slope Water population by convergence. The increase of B. glaciale in the center of the ring may be associated with the inwardly spiralling streamers observed in satellite images.
A simple advection/diffusion model for both the fish and a passive tracer of the fluid is used to consider a mechanism that might have concentrated the fish at the ring edge. It is assumed that the fish can counter the vertical flow in order to maintain their preferred depth. Swimming in the horizontal is assumed to be random. The result of this behavior is that the fish and the passive tracer are affected differently in flow fields such as those in rings. Solutions to the model equations lead to the conclusion that the abundance of fish at the ring front can be accounted for by convergence. The model and the divergence pattern in the ring, calculated from hydrographic data, show the time necessary to effect the hundred-fold increase in abundance that was observed in the ring front between April and June to be on the order of two weeks to a month. We suggest that the concentrating mechanism described is widely applicable to a variety of frontal phenomena and to a variety of planktonic plants and animals.

ARLINGTON -- There were 125 games in the Cowboys' 27-24 overtime win over Pittsburgh and some were more important than others.
Here are five that shaped the game:
Play: Alex Albright tackle
Situation: Third-and-5
Score: Dallas, 3-0
Time: 14:19 left in second quarter
Taylor's Take: After DeMarco Murray lost a fumble at the Pittsburgh 8, the defense's job was to get the ball back without giving up a first down. Backup linebacker Alex Albright, playing because Ernie Sims suffered a concussion, fought off a guard, shed him and tripped up Chris Rainey a yard short of the first down. Five plays later, the Cowboys scored a touchdown.
Play: Dwayne Harris reception
Situation: Second-and-23
Score: Tied, 10-10
Time: 8:07 left in third quarter
Taylor's Take: Finally, Jason Garrett has a player who can make something happen with the receiver screen. On second-and-23, Harris made at least defenders miss and gained 17 yards to set up a manageable third-down situation on an 80-yard drive that ended with Dez Bryant's 24-yard touchdown reception.
Play: DeMarcus Ware and Anthony Spencer sack
Situation: Third-and-4 from Dallas 37
Score: Tied, 24-24
Time: 3:35 left in fourth quarter
Taylor's Take: Ware, a non-factor much of the day, made a play when the Cowboys needed it most. Ware looped around left end and then crawled the last couple of feet until he grabbed Ben Roethlisberger's leg. As the quarterback struggled to get free, Anthony Spencer finished him off, knocking the Steelers out of field goal territory and forcing a punt.
Play: Sean Lissemore sack
Situation: First-and-10
Score: Tied, 24-24
Time: 1:34 left in fourth quarter
Taylor's Take: Give credit to defensive coordinator Rob Ryan for scheming this sack. The Cowboys had a three-on-two advantage with linebackers Anthony Spencer and Victor Butler on either side of Lissemore. At the snap, the tackle took Butler and the guard took Spencer, while Lissemore went unblocked. He grabbed Roethlisberger around the waist and hurled him down for the Cowboys' second consecutive sack.
Play: Victor Butler forced fumble
Situation: Fourth-and-19
Score: Pittsburgh, 24-17
Time: 10:18 left in fourth quarter
Taylor's Take: Antonio Brown was seemingly en route to a game-changing play, when Victor Butler stuck out his left hand and knocked the ball loose during Brown's 22-yard return. John Phillips recovered at the 44 Pittsburgh 44 and quickly took advantage of the turnover.

Abnormal (Dysfunctional) Uterine Bleeding Medication
- Author: Millie A Behera, MD; Chief Editor: Richard Scott Lucidi, MD, FACOG more...
Medication Summary
Estrogens, progestins, androgens, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), ergot derivatives, antifibrinolytics, and gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists have been used to treat abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB). More recently, desmopressin has been used to control bleeding when associated with diagnosed bleeding disorders that do not respond entirely to traditional management.
Ergot derivatives are not recommended for treatment of AUB because they have been shown to be effective rarely in clinical studies and have many side effects.
At the onset of menses, secretory endometrium contains a high concentration of plasminogen activator. A reduction in menstrual blood loss has been demonstrated in some ovulatory patients taking ε -aminocaproic acid (EACA) or aminomethylcyclohexane-carboxylic acid (AMCHA) tranexamic acid, both potent antifibrinolytics. However, this therapeutic effect was no greater than that seen with oral contraceptive therapy. Antifibrinolytics are associated with significant side effects, such as severe nausea, diarrhea, headache, and allergic manifestations, and cannot be used in patients with renal failure. Because of the high side-effect profile and expense, these agents rarely are used today for this indication.
Class Summary
Very effective in controlling acute, profuse bleeding. Exerts a vasospastic action on capillary bleeding by affecting the level of fibrinogen, factor IV, and factor X in blood, as well as platelet aggregation and capillary permeability. Estrogen also induces formation of progesterone receptors, making subsequent treatment with progestins more effective.
Most AUB is secondary to anovulation. In these patients, endometrium continues to proliferate with asynchronous development. As blood supply is outgrown, irregular shedding occurs. Bleeding might be controlled acutely with high-dose estrogen for a short period of time. Several hours are required to induce mitotic activity, so most regimens require 48 h of therapy before continued bleeding is ruled a treatment failure.
Estrogen therapy only controls bleeding acutely and does not treat underlying cause. Appropriate long-term therapy can be administered once the acute episode has passed.
Conjugated equine estrogen (Premarin)
Women in perimenopause generally are estrogen deficient and might experience bouts of estrogen withdrawal bleeding. Many of these patients will recover regular menses and develop an improved sense of well-being with the initiation of hormonal replacement therapy, including estrogen and a progestin.
Class Summary
Occasional anovulatory bleeding that is not profuse or prolonged can be treated with progestins. Progestins inhibit estrogen receptor replenishment and activate 17-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in endometrial cells, converting estradiol to the less active estrone. Medroxyprogesterone acetate (Provera) is the most commonly used progestin in this country, but other types, including norethindrone acetate (Aygestin) and norethindrone (Micronor), are equally efficacious. In some patients in which systemic progestins are intolerable due to side effects, a progestin secreting IUD (Mirena) may be considered.
Synthetic progestins have an antimitotic effect, allowing the endometrium to become atrophic if administered continuously. These drugs are very effective in cases of endometrial hyperplasia. In patients with chronic eugonadal anovulation who do not desire pregnancy, treatment with a progestin for 10-12 d/mo will allow for controlled, predictable menses and will protect the patient against the development of endometrial hyperplasia.
Some perimenopausal patients will not respond well to progestin therapy because of an inherent estrogen deficiency. Also, patients with thin, denuded endometrium occurring after several days of chronic bleeding might require induction of new endometrial proliferation by estrogen therapy first.
Avoid synthetic progestins in early pregnancy. They induce an endometrial response that is different from normal preimplantation secretory endometrium. Also, several reports suggest an association between intrauterine exposure to synthetic progestins in the first trimester of pregnancy and genital abnormalities in male and female fetuses. The risk of hypospadias, 5-8 per 1000 male births, might be doubled with early in-utero exposure to these drugs. Some synthetic progestins might cause virilization of female external genitalia in utero.
Patients at risk for conception can be treated safely with natural progesterone preparations. These preparations induce a normal secretory endometrium appropriate for implantation and subsequent growth of a developing conceptus.
Medroxyprogesterone acetate (Provera)
Short-acting synthetic progestin. Drug of choice for patients with anovulatory AUB. After acute bleeding episode is controlled, can be used alone in patients with adequate amounts of endogenous estrogen to cause endometrial growth. Progestin therapy in adolescents produces regular cyclic withdrawal bleeding until positive feedback system matures.
Stops endometrial cell proliferation, allowing organized sloughing of cells after withdrawal. Typically does not stop acute bleeding episode but produces a normal bleeding episode following withdrawal.
Combination oral contraceptives
Class Summary
Contraceptive pills containing estrogen and progestin have been advocated for nonsmoking patients with AUB who desire contraception. Therapy also used to treat acute hemorrhagic uterine bleeding but is not as effective as regimens previously mentioned. Apparently takes longer to induce endometrial proliferation when progestin is present. In long-term management of AUB, combination oral contraceptives are very effective.
Ethinyl estradiol and a progestin derivative (examples: Ovral, Lo-Ovral, Ortho-Novum, Ovcon, Genora, Orthocyclen, and others)
Reduces secretion of LH and FSH from pituitary by decreasing amount of GnRH.
Class Summary
Certain androgenic preparations have been used historically to treat mild to moderate bleeding, particularly in ovulatory patients with abnormal uterine bleeding. These regimens offer no real advantage over other regimens and might cause irreversible signs of masculinization in the patient. They seldom are used for this indication today.
Use of androgens might stimulate erythropoiesis and clotting efficiency. Androgens alter endometrial tissue so that it becomes inactive and atrophic.
Danazol (Danocrine)
Isoxazole derivative of 12 alpha-ethinyl testosterone.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
Class Summary
Blocks formation of prostacyclin, an antagonist of thromboxane, which is a substance that accelerates platelet aggregation and initiates coagulation. Prostacyclin is produced in increased amounts in menorrhagic endometrium. Because NSAIDs inhibit blood prostacyclin formation, they might effectively decrease uterine blood flow. NSAIDs have been shown to treat menorrhagia in ovulatory cycles but generally are not effective for the management of AUB.
Naproxen (Anaprox, Naprelan, Naprosyn)
Used for relief of mild to moderate pain. Inhibits inflammatory reactions and pain by decreasing activity of cyclo-oxygenase, which is responsible for prostaglandin synthesis.
GnRH agonists
Class Summary
Work by reducing concentration of GnRH receptors in the pituitary via receptor down regulation and induction of postreceptor effects, which suppress gonadotropin release. After an initial gonadotropin release associated with rising estradiol levels, gonadotropin levels fall to castrate levels, with resultant hypogonadism. This form of medical castration is very effective in inducing amenorrhea, thus breaking ongoing cycle of abnormal bleeding in many anovulatory patients. Because prolonged therapy with this form of medical castration is associated with osteoporosis and other postmenopausal side effects, its use is often limited in duration and add back therapy with a form of low-dose hormonal replacement is given. Because of the expense of these drugs, they usually are not used as a first line approach but can be used to achieve short-term relief from a bleeding problem, particularly in patients with renal failure or blood dyscrasia.
Depot leuprolide acetate (Lupron)
Suppresses ovarian steroidogenesis by decreasing LH and FSH levels.
Arginine vasopressin derivatives
Class Summary
Indicated in patients with thromboembolic disorders.
Desmopressin acetate (DDAVP)
Has been used to treat abnormal uterine bleeding in patients with coagulation defects. Transiently elevates factor VIII and von Willebrand factor.

World's most sensitive dark matter detector completes search
The Large Underground Xenon (LUX) dark matter experiment, which operates beneath a mile of rock at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in the Black Hills of South Dakota, has completed its search for the missing matter of the universe. At a meeting in the UK, LUX scientific collaborators presented the results from the detector's final 20-month run.
Fire clues in cave dripwater
When mineral-rich water drips from a cave's ceiling over centuries and millennia, it forms rocky cones that hold clues to the Earth's past climate. Now, researchers in Australia and the UK have found that these structures can also help trace past wildfires that burned above the cave.
Glutamate levels in the brain may be linked to alcohol craving
Craving consists of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral elements related to a desire to drink alcohol, and can be experienced during intoxication, withdrawal, and/or prior to relapse. Different types of craving are hypothesized to be associated with different neurotransmitter systems. For example, reward craving may be mediated by dopamine and opioids, obsessive craving by serotonin, and relief craving by glutamate. A new study used magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) to examine the correlation between craving and glutamate levels in the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (LDLPFC) of patients with alcohol use disorders (AUDs).
Diversifying clinical science to represent diverse populations
Despite increasing attention to issues of diversity in scientific research, participant populations in behavioral science tend to be relatively homogeneous. A special series in Clinical Psychological Science highlights the importance of broadening the traditional scope of clinical science research, advancing the field so that it can adequately address the needs and concerns of diverse populations.
Come on baby, (re)light my fire
Many couples find that their sexual desire has dwindled over time. It's not unusual for partners who could not keep their hands off each to gradually lose interest. But new research indicates that there are ways that couples can sustain -- or relight -- their passion.
Titanium and gold equals new gold standard for artificial joints
Titanium is the leading material for artificial knee and hip joints because it's strong, wear-resistant and nontoxic, but an unexpected discovery by physicists shows that the gold standard for artificial joints can be improved with the addition of some actual gold.
Exercise as effective as surgery for middle aged patients with knee damage
Exercise therapy is as effective as surgery for middle aged patients with a common type of knee injury known as meniscal tear (damage to the rubbery discs that cushion the knee joint), finds a new study.
Imaging after thyroid cancer treatment does not necessarily mean better outcomes
More imaging after thyroid cancer treatment identifies recurrence, but it does not always improve survival, a new study suggests. More people are being diagnosed with low-risk thyroid cancer, but the use of imaging among these patients has skyrocketed disproportionately. Thyroid cancer generally has a high survival rate -- roughly 96 percent of patients are alive 10 years later. But a small number of thyroid cancers are more aggressive and likely to return.
To protect yourself from malaria sleep with a chicken next to your bed
For the first time, scientists have shown that malaria-transmitting mosquitoes actively avoid feeding on certain animal species such as chickens, using their sense of smell. Odors emitted by species such as chickens could provide protection for humans at risk of mosquito-transmitted diseases, according to a study.
Hormone therapy for brain performance: No effect, whether started early or late
Hormone therapy has a negligible effect on verbal memory and other mental skills regardless of how soon after menopause a woman begins therapy, new research shows.
Screening for suicide risk among urban children vitally important
Screening for suicide risk among publicly insured urban children who are experiencing psychological distress is vitally important, finds a new study.
Putting the sloth in sloths: Arboreal lifestyle drives slow motion pace
Scientists set out to measure the energetics of wild two- and three-toed sloths at a field site in in northeastern Costa Rica. The purpose of the study was to help explain why arboreal folivores are indeed so rare and why more animals have not evolved to take advantage of a widespread ecological niche.
Groundwater discharge to upper Colorado River Basin varies in response to drought
Groundwater discharge that flows into the Upper Colorado River Basin varies in response to drought, which is likely due to aquifer systems that contain relatively young groundwater, according to a new study.
Potential drug candidates could intervene in deadly diseases
Scientists have identified drug candidates that can boost a cell's ability to catch the 'typos' in protein production that can cause a deadly disease called amyloidosis, revealing a new approach to intervene in human disease.
3-D-printing lab instruments one block at a time
Building lab instruments for chemistry and biology experiments used to be an expensive, time consuming process only done by scientists with specialized training. A 3-D printed, Lego-like system of blocks is changing that. In addition to real research applications, the system can also be used for STEM education, where students gain both an engineering experience by building the instruments and a science experience as they use them.
Scientists apply new imaging tool to common brain disorders
A new approach has been developed to scanning the brain for changes in synapses that are associated with common brain disorders. The technique may provide insights into the diagnosis and treatment of a broad range of disorders, including epilepsy and Alzheimer's disease, say authors of a new report.
New dinosaur species may give clues to evolutionary origin of megaraptorid clade
A new species of megaraptorid dinosaur discovered in Patagonia may help discern the evolutionary origins of the megaraptorid clade.
Underwater terrain may be key factor in little auk foraging
Little auks forage in the same areas off East Greenland -- the continental shelf and its edge -- regardless of whether sea ice is present or absent, according to a new study.
Scientists call for replacement of animals in antibody production
Routine scientific procedures using millions of animals are still being authorized when there is a tried and tested alternative, according to a group of scientists investigating the production of antibodies.
More for less in pastures
Research comparing pastures with multiple types of plants to those with less variety shows surprising results in land productivity and soil health.

Recommendations for Operating a Sediment Diversion that Balances Ecosystem and Community NeedsJuly 27, 2016 | Posted by Emily McCalla in 19 Priority Projects, Diversions, Reports, Restoration Projects
By Natalie Peyronnin, Director of Science Policy, Mississippi River Delta Restoration, Environmental Defense Fund
This is part one of the series "Building Land in Coastal Louisiana: Expert Recommendations for Operating a Successful Sediment Diversion that Balances Ecosystem and Community Needs." This series will explore key recommendations for operating sediment diversions as outlined by the independent Sediment Diversion Operations Expert Working Group.
The use of sediment diversions, a restoration tool that mimics the natural processes of the Mississippi River to build and sustain land, has been proposed for decades in coastal Louisiana. While we move closer to construction of a sediment diversion, the issues surrounding how the reintroduction of fresh water and sediment will impact the ecosystem, including important fish and wildlife species, and the communities that live, work and play in the basin, require close monitoring and planning.
The state of Louisiana, through the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA), will be required to develop an Operation and Adaptive Management Plan that lays out strategies that need to be considered when operating a sediment diversion to maximize land building, while balancing the needs of the ecosystem and communities.
To help CPRA with developing these strategies, the Sediment Diversion Operations Expert Working Group was formed. The working group consisted of 12 interdisciplinary scientists with a wide range of on-the-ground expertise in coastal Louisiana. Together, they released a report with the goal of providing specific recommendations to begin a robust discussion on operation strategies to be considered for CPRA's plan.
The working group members, along with over 40 guest experts, discussed, debated and documented complex issues such as wetland health, basin geology, fish and wildlife species and socio-economics. The resulting recommendations are included in the report, Building Land in Coastal Louisiana: Expert Recommendations for Operating a Successful Sediment Diversion that Balances Ecosystem and Community Needs.
Five of the topics key to the successful operation of a sediment diversion – sediment, hydrodynamics, vegetation, socio-economics, and fish and wildlife – will be explored further in this blog series written by experts in their respective subject. This series is intended to further detail these important topics that will become extremely relevant once a diversion is constructed.
Stay tuned for the next post in the "Building Land in Coastal Louisiana" series about key recommendations concerning hydrodynamics, titled "Exploring the Hydrodynamics of a Sediment Diversion at Mid-Barataria."

Restoration Solutions: Sediment DiversionsJuly 26, 2016 | Posted by Emily McCalla in 19 Priority Projects, coastal restoration, Diversions, Mid-Barataria Sediment Diversion, Restoration Projects
The State of Louisiana is advancing two sediment diversions south of New Orleans. These projects are on track to begin construction by 2020 using funding from the BP oil spill. Multiple projects working together are needed to build and sustain land, but sediment diversions are a crucial foundation needed to confront Louisiana's ongoing land loss crisis.

Bold Recommendations & Early Citizen Support for Diversions as a Key to Coastal RestorationSeptember 16, 2015 | Posted by lbourg in 2012 Coastal Master Plan, coastal restoration, Diversions, Restoration Projects, Science
By Estelle Robichaux, Restoration Project Analyst, Environmental Defense Fund and Gaby Garcia, Science Intern, Environmental Defense Fund
This post is part of a series on early restoration planning in Louisiana. Be sure to check out part one for a look back to 1973.
In 1988, the Coalition to Restoration Coastal Louisiana (CRCL) released a plan titled Coastal Louisiana: Here today and gone tomorrow? The plan, which was a joint effort by stakeholders and scientists, focuses on the Mississippi River Delta region and is framed as a citizens program for protecting Louisiana's environment, economy and heritage.
The plan provides nearly 20 recommendations, including a restoration action program, suggestions for how to finance the program, as well as specific institutional and legislative recommendations designed to galvanize restoration.
Among the most notable elements is the assertion that sediment diversions would be the most beneficial method of wetland restoration and that several of them should be constructed along the Mississippi and Atchafalaya Rivers. This was also one of the first plans to advise against any new levee construction.
Many of the plan's most significant propositions, those focused on restoration action, have yet to be realized, though the science behind sediment diversions is well developed and we continue to advocate for them as a sustainable restoration tool.
A bold but realistic plan of action
CRCL's plan has two specific resource goals that are still strongly advocated for:
- To utilize freshwater and sediment diversions along the Mississippi River and Atchafalaya Rivers to sustain and restore coastal wetlands;
- To beneficially use dredged material from channel maintenance and existing spoil banks to backfill canals and nourish created wetlands and barrier islands
Restoring natural processes: Mississippi River water & sediment diversions
The Caernarvon and Davis Pond diversions were still being designed at the time this plan was published. Although there were expectations these structures would help control saltwater intrusion and reduce wetland loss, the plan underscores their limitations in active wetland restoration and land building. Despite the fact these diversions were designed for salinity and flood control, both areas have seen new land growth, though not at the scale or rate anticipated for sediment diversions.
The action program calls for the construction of a suite of freshwater and sediment diversions to restore hydrologic connections and halt wetland loss. The essence of many of these restoration ideas can be found in Louisiana's 2012 Coastal Master Plan (CMP). Some of the restoration actions proposed in the 1988 plan include:
- One or two diversions from the Atchafalaya River into the Lake Verret Basin and Western Terrebonne marshes.
- 2012 CMP: Two diversions from the Atchafalaya will increase freshwater and sediment flows into Terrebonne marshes from Bayou Penchant westward, including our of our coalition's 19 priority projects, Increase Atchafalaya Flow into Terrebonne Marshes.
- Restoration of Bayou Lafourche into a distributary of the Mississippi River, with a diversion into Timbalier Bay.
- 2012 CMP: Small-scale freshwater diversion from the river into Bayou Lafourche.
- Freshwater and sediment diversions, at Bayou Manchac and Blind River, to bring Mississippi River water into the degraded swamps south of Lake Maurepas.
- 2012 CMP: Two freshwater diversions, at Blind River and Hope Canal, and hydrologic restoration of the Amite River to restore freshwater inputs to Lake Maurepas, including one of our priority projects, West Maurepas Diversions.
- A large-scale sediment diversion of the Mississippi River below New Orleans into Barataria Basin and a navigation channel from the river into Breton Sound in the vicinity of Empire.
- 2012 CMP: Two sediment diversions into Barataria Basin in the vicinity of Diamond and Myrtle Grove, Lower and Mid-Barataria Sediment Diversions (also two of our coalition's priority projects).
Beneficial use of dredged material
In addition to the focus on restoring natural processes by using freshwater and sediment diversions, the plan has another major component that concentrate on restoration actions that would provide short-term benefits as well as some regulatory changes. This component focuses on using dredged sediments, taken from the bottoms of canals or by removing spoil banks, for restoration efforts.
It is recommended that all dredged material from channel maintenance work should be used for wetland creation and restoration. Sediment from spoil banks would be used to plug many of the abandoned canals along the coast, which would also provide hydrologic restoration of freshwater flow across the affected marshes.
Looking back, moving forward
As we review these early restoration plans, it becomes clear that using water and sediment from the Mississippi River to restore Louisiana's coastal wetlands is not a new idea. Diversions have long been a key component in coastal restoration planning, though they are only one of the suite of tools we can use.
Restoration planning has spanned more than four decades in Louisiana, but it is only in the last two that consistent funding became available. Check out our next post for more on funded restoration programs in Louisiana.No Comments
Ten Years after Katrina, What the BP Settlement Means for Louisiana RestorationJuly 16, 2015 | Posted by lbourg in 19 Priority Projects, 5 Years Later, BP Oil Disaster, Community Resiliency, Diversions, Hurricane Katrina, Hurricanes, K10, Restoration Projects, RESTORE Act, Science
By Steve Cochran, Director, Mississippi River Delta Restoration Program, Environmental Defense Fund
Ten years ago, just after Hurricane Katrina, I was asked to talk to Environmental Defense Fund's board about the place where I grew up, the New Orleans area that had been hit so hard.
I remember two things about that discussion. One was my voice breaking unexpectedly (and embarrassingly) as we talked through pictures of the Katrina aftermath and came across places I intimately knew.
As an adult, I had developed a love/hate relationship with my home – loving the beauty, the people, the community and the culture, but frustrated by what I saw as the general tolerance of mediocrity and corrupt politics that limited its possibilities. That frustration had pushed the love down, and I had moved away. But there it was again. Sometimes you don't know how much you care.
The second thing I remember was saying that the Katrina response was a deep test of our governments – local, state and national. As we know now, in that moment, it was a test they failed. But fast forward to July 2, 2015, the day a global settlement was announced in the Deepwater Horizon oil spill case. It was a day when governments rose to the occasion. The result was literally the largest environmental settlement in U.S. history.
The BP Settlement and Louisiana Coastal Restoration
Under the agreement, Louisiana will receive more than a third of the money – $6.8 billion of the $18.7 billion, and $5.8 billion of that is specifically targeted to restoration. The overall restoration total for Louisiana will likely be just under $8 billion, including early restoration dollars and criminal settlements.
These are significant resources at a critical time. Land loss across the coast of Louisiana, exacerbated by the spill, continues at a fearful rate. But we are making progress against that loss, and with the solid state commitment that now exists, and effective plans in place, these resources will allow us to battle back in earnest, with a clear-eyed view toward success.
In particular, the state plans to re-engage the enormous power of the Mississippi River and its sediment through a series of sediment diversions – using the natural land-building capacity of the river by reconnecting it to the delta it originally built. This science-based, innovative approach is the critical piece in our ability to provide solutions at a scale that can match the challenges in the Mississippi River Delta – now the largest restoration effort under way in the world.
Rebuilding Our Coast to Protect Our Communities
About a month after the spill, I was allowed to sit in on a tribal council of the indigenous United Houma Nation. As the oil continued to pour into the Gulf of Mexico, which it would do for another two months, I listened and watched as a man described, through a quiet voice and uncontrolled tears, how he had always looked to the waters of the Gulf and drawn confidence, knowing he could always provide for his family by accepting its gifts. But now all he could feel was fundamental fear.
Money can't replace that kind of loss any more than it can bring back the 11 loved ones who lost their lives in the accident.
But we must do what we can – and in that context, the BP settlement is a tremendous step forward, because we can restore the Mississippi River Delta, so it can protect this area in the future.
Details matter, of course, and details remain to be decided as the Agreement in Principle is turned into a consent decree. We need to remain involved and vigilant. But it does seem clear that this agreement combines avoiding years of litigation with levels of funding that can truly make a difference.
With these resources, we can go to work to make sure that the largest environmental settlement in our nation's history also becomes the most meaningful settlement in a place that, well, I love.

The 11 vehicles earned their trophies for being "the best and most significant" offerings to the mag's staff and contributors, and while we were surprised to see a couple of them on the list, none of them were shocking. In no particular order, they are:
