Hi, sorry for the quiet and lack of updates. I got sick. Real sick. An ear infection! I'm better now! Before I get into the heavy stuff later this year I just wanted to draw a a little bit toward the chatter about the awkward and contentious rivalry between Newlywed Game host Bob Eubanks and former face-of-Lucky's Stephanie Edwards. 2009 marks her triumphant return back to the Tournament of Roses—ending a two year departure—and she's already managed to get a few quips in. Franklin Ave blog does a nice recap of Edwards' return. They note how Eubanks sort of assured audiences that the rift doesn't exist by saying "People write in all the time and ask if we like each other. The answer is no... we love each other!" The amazing and uncomfortable screen shot to the left (taken by Frankin Ave's Mike), however, tells a little bit of a different story. There's obviously something in the air between them, and it ain't love. Read more about it at LA Observed. More from me soon!

California’s First Carbon Capture Project: Vital Climate Tool or License to Pollute?

California’s first attempt to capture and sequester carbon involves California Resources Corp. collecting emissions at its Elk Hills Oil and Gas Field, and then inject the gases more than a mile deep into a depleted oil reservoir. The goal is to keep carbon underground and out of the atmosphere, where it traps heat and contributes to climate change. But some argue polluting industries need to cease altogether.
