Mark Morford: Horrible parents choose Trump! (SF Gate)
This election cycle, teach your kids to respect the values that make America truly great. It's time to show your deeply unfortunate kids what you really think of their pathetic future, and vote for the one man who is the very antithesis of human compassion, integrity and wisdom, and who means the world ill. Do it for the country. Do it for their future. Do it for their own good. Your kids will thank you for it. Hate. I mean hate you for it.
Mark Morford: Don't worry, no one really likes Donald Trump (SF Gate)
No mere dislike, this. No mere mistrust or well-trained ideological posturing. This is far more akin to going into shock, as when the body realizes it's taken on a bizarre parasite or a terrible kind of garbage-can poison, and it begins to shudder and sweat, clench and recoil.
Kris Gunnars, BSc: "7 Reasons Not to Avoid Meat (Unless if You Want to)" (Authority Nutrition)
A 100 gram portion (3.5 ounces) of raw ground beef contains vitamin B12, B3 (Niacin), B6, iron, zinc, selenium and various other vitamins and minerals. Vitamin B12 is particularly important because it can not be gotten from commonly consumed plants. Many people who avoid animal foods are deficient in it. […] But the nutrient composition of meat goes beyond all the macro- and micronutrients that we are all familiar with. There is also a plethora of lesser-known nutrients in meat, that can not be gotten from plants: …

The first woman to win a Nobel Prize was Marie Curie, who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903 with her husband, Pierre Curie, and Henri Becquerel. Curie is also the only woman to have won multiple Nobel Prizes; in 1911, she won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Curie's daughter, Irčne Joliot-Curie, won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1935, making the two the only mother-daughter pair to have won Nobel Prizes.

Oscar-winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio has visited the Indonesian jungle to help protect a biodiverse area from deforestation.
Fresh from clinching his long-awaited first Oscar last month, DiCaprio spent the weekend in the Leuser ecosystem, on Indonesia's main western island of Sumatra.
The actor, an ardent supporter of environmental causes, was pictured accompanied by local environmentalists and flanked by two critically endangered Sumatran elephants.
DiCaprio said on his Instagram account that his foundation, which supports numerous environmental projects, was backing local groups to establish a "mega-fauna sanctuary" in the area.
He described the area as "the last place on Earth where Sumatran orangutans, tigers, rhinos and elephants coexist in the wild".

Frustrated Republicans grappled with new fears about Donald Trump's impact on their party Wednesday, as the billionaire businessman's campaign rivals targeted his punitive plan for fighting abortion and extraordinary defense of his campaign manager, who police say assaulted a female reporter.
Concern rippled through Republican circles nationwide, yet few dared criticize the GOP front-runner directly when pressed, leery of confronting the man who may well lead their election ticket in November.
Their silence underscored the deep worries plaguing the party's leaders - particularly its most prominent women - who are growing increasingly concerned that a Trump presidential nomination could not only cost the 2016 election but also tarnish the party brand for a generation of women and young people.
Trump added to his challenge when asked to explain his prescription to fight abortion, a subject that remains highly controversial decades after the Supreme Court legalized it.
It was a spectacular discovery: Fossil remains in an Indonesian cave revealed a recent relative of modern humans that stood about 3 feet tall. The creatures were quickly nicknamed "hobbits."
With evidence that they had survived to just 12,000 years ago, the hobbits appeared to have been the last of our companions on the human branch of the evolutionary tree to go extinct.
Now, a decade after they made headlines, they've lost that distinction. New investigations indicate they evidently disappeared much earlier - about 50,000 years ago, before Neanderthals did, for example.
The new date raises speculation about whether hobbits were doomed by the arrival of modern humans on their island. But it doesn't change much about their scientific significance, said Matt Tocheri of Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, Ontario.
The hobbits are formally known as Homo floresiensis, reflecting their home on the Indonesian island of Flores. With small, chimp-sized brains, the hobbits had skulls that resembled Homo erectus, which lived in Africa and Asia. But they also had long arms and short legs that harkened back to the much older evolutionary forerunners best known for the skeleton dubbed Lucy.

Archaeologists in Italy have discovered what may be a rare sacred text in the lost Etruscan language that is likely to yield rich details about Etruscan worship of a god or goddess.
The lengthy text is inscribed on a large sandstone slab that was embedded in the foundations of a monumental Italian temple where it had been buried for more than 2,500 years, the researchers said.
The slab, weighing about 500 pounds (227 kg) and nearly four feet tall by more than two feet wide, has at least 70 legible letters and punctuation marks, Warden, professor emeritus at Southern Methodist University, Dallas, Texas, US, said in a statement.
Scholars in the field predict the stele as such slabs are called, will yield a wealth of new knowledge about the lost culture of the Etruscans who lived in the first millennium BC.
Considered one of the most religious people of the ancient world, Etruscan life was permeated by religion, and ruling magistrates also exercised religious authority.
Sea levels could rise 50 cm (20 inches) more this century than had been expected, according to a report published on Wednesday which found that Antarctic ice will melt faster than previously thought.
Climate scientists at two U.S. universities said the most recent U.N. report on the effects of global warming had underestimated the rate at which the ice covering the continent would melt.
That report, issued in 2013, said the worst case of man-made climate change would mean a sea-level rise of between 52 and 98 cm by 2100. The new study suggests the real rise could be 1.5 meters (5 ft), posing an even greater threat to cities from New York to Shanghai.
The study, partly based on sea level evidence in a natural warm period 125,000 years ago, said ice from Antarctica alone could cause between 64 cm and 114 cm of sea level rise by 2100 under the worst U.N. scenario for greenhouse gas emissions.
One of the factors that was underestimated in the U.N. reports, which envisage most Antarctic ice remaining frozen, is a process known as "hydro fracturing" whereby pools of meltwater on ice shelves seep deep into the ice, refreeze and force vast chunks of ice to crack off. That could make ice on land in Antarctica slide faster into the sea.

Sitting on his plush private plane surrounded by a gaggle of reporters, Donald Trump (Pinche Pendejo) laid bare the depths of his win-at-any-cost political philosophy.
"Nothing is presidential except victory," he said Tuesday. "Victory is presidential."
Very little about Trump's surprising White House campaign has fit into any traditional view of what's deemed "presidential" - the kind of know-it-if-you-see-it behavior befitting an occupant of the Oval Office.
Indeed, that's part of the draw for Trump's supporters, many of whom praise the businessman's willingness to dispense with political correctness.
Yet even with the built-in expectation that Trump is running an atypical campaign, the Republican front-runner continues to surprise with how far he's willing to go in busting boundaries that restrain other presidential candidates. While he's suggested that he would be more of a statesman if he's the GOP nominee, encouraging Republican Party unity and promising to moderate his abrasive tone, he can't seem to resist the lure of a bareknuckle political brawl.

Aerial surveys of Australia's Great Barrier Reef have revealed the worst bleaching on record in the icon's pristine north, scientists said Tuesday, with few corals escaping damage.
Researchers said the view was devastating after surveying some 520 reefs via plane and helicopter between Cairns and the Torres Strait in the north of Queensland state.
"This will change the Great Barrier Reef forever," Terry Hughes, an expert on coral reefs from James Cook University, told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
"We're seeing huge levels of bleaching in the northern thousand kilometre stretch of the Great Barrier Reef."
Just over a week ago, the Australian government revealed bleaching at the World Heritage-listed site was "severe" but noted that the southern area had escaped the worst.

Former teen idol David Cassidy has agreed to give up his driver's license until 2021 in his latest legal troubles.
Cassidy pleaded no contest Monday to reckless driving and other charges stemming from a September hit-and-run in Broward County. Along with giving up his license, Cassidy agreed to spend two years on probation.
Witnesses identified Cassidy as the driver of a vehicle that sideswiped a delivery truck.
The 65-year-old singer's attorney, Jason Forman, tells the Sun Sentinel that Cassidy "made a business decision to resolve his misdemeanor offenses."
Cassidy has had DUI arrests in Florida, New York and California since 2010. If Cassidy violates the new probation, he faces more than two years in prison.

Two Tennessee-based cancer charities labeled "shams" by the Federal Trade Commission have settled a massive fraud case, along with their president, by agreeing to a $75.8 million judgment and the dissolution of the businesses. But the government may never see much of that money.
The complaint filed last year accused James T. Reynolds Sr. and others of spending donations meant for cancer patients on six-figure salaries and luxury vacations. The FTC said it is the largest joint action ever undertaken by the FTC and state charity regulators.
FTC attorney Tracy Thorleifson said the agency does not yet know how much money the government will recover, but she said it "won't even be close" to the judgment, which reflects the amount of money the public donated to Cancer Fund of America and Cancer Support Services between 2008 and 2012.
According to court documents, Reynolds went on a spending spree after he was first advised of the complaint.
"Not only did he sell his house in the fall of 2014, in the months since he has run up tens of thousands of dollars of credit card debt and spent almost all his available cash. He has been on multiple cruises and traveled nationally and internationally, always paying the way for himself and companions. Cash withdrawals from his checking accounts and credit card purchases since January 2015 have exceeded $101,000, not including payments for rent, utilities, insurance, automobiles, boats, or tithes to religious institutions," court documents state.
