(Editor's note: The breaking news page is back up and running over at LATOC after a week's hiatus. As a rule I try to augment and not duplicate the stories they link to (despite a few instances of doing so below), but I will remind you that it's definitely worth your time to read them, and especially today's.)
"June so far is a strange ebb tide of of events relating to the world's money, but when the water goes out like that, you know it's sure to return before long, and the peaceful mud-flats of June may vanish under a summer tsunami. I know I'm not alone in the creepy feeling that really nothing has been sorted out and the world is waiting to get hammered six days to Sunday by the consequences of living too large for too long. The markets have been stranded, too, gyrating on the peculiar life-support of robot-traders -- since all the humans have packed up and left the scene for higher ground. The corporate creaming-off of anything not nailed down in America continues apace, with the cream ending up as icing on the petit fours passed around the twilight lawns of East Hampton."

Industrial Farming Slows Climate Change?
(Editor's Note: Perhaps attempting to assess the entire environmental impact of an exceedingly complex system of farming involving a vast and ever evolving number of potentially toxic compounds by a single metric (CO2 emissions) is a bit myopic?)
