Al Jazeera: Louisiana is being slowly devoured by water. Hardly anyone disputes that. But beyond a shared sense of creeping panic, theres little common ground in the state. As over 2,000 miles of coast have been eaten away over the last 80 or so years, the state and federal government, oil and gas companies, activists and residents battled and bickered over funding the future of the states coast. So far, little has been accomplished. John Barry, an author cum activist, hopes to change that. Last July,...

Researchers hope to secure development of mobile apps with faster code scans
2014-03-10 20:42:43| InfoWorld: Top News
Fraunhofer Institute researchers are working to speed up the scanning of mobile app code for security flaws, aiming to offer developers in a few milliseconds the kind of analysis that once required an all-night scan of code. In fact, the researchers are showing not one but three tools to evaluate or enhance the security of mobile apps at the Cebit trade show in Hanover, Germany, this week, the other two intended to detect flaws in already-deployed apps.

Cities hope for state guidance on sea rise

Virginian-Pilot: There's no shortage of studies on sea level rise in Hampton Roads. The binders would overwhelm a filing cabinet. They all agree the water is coming. After that, it gets a little murky. How high will it rise? How fast? Are historic trends accelerating? Is that in meters or feet? Does that include sinking land, subsidence? What if the Greenland ice sheet melts? What if the Gulf Stream slows down? While scientists embrace uncertainty, it's enough to make city planners and engineers a little...

Why You Shouldnt Hope for An Early Spring
2014-02-23 19:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: The spring of 2012 was the earliest recorded across the U.S. since 1900. In many states, signs of spring arrived almost three to four weeks earlier than expected. Unseasonable warmth prompted unusually early blooms, particularly on fruiting trees in the Northeast and Great Lakes regions. Observers in Massachusetts and Wisconsin reported that flowering came earlier than it had since Henry David Thoreau took note of when plants began to bloom near Walden Pond in the 1850s or since Aldo Leopold observed...
