A PATRIOTIC THIEF: “At about 5 p.m. yesterday, an unidentified thief with a police record broke into a red van that had been parked at 53rd Street and Second Avenue in Brooklyn’s Sunset Park for about a month, a source told The Post. He was stunned when he looked inside – it was filled with gas cans and Styrofoam cups containing a mysterious white substance with protruding wires and switches.” He drove it a few blocks away, then alerted the cops. Meanwhile, a look at the terror threat in New York.

INSTANT COWORKERS! I’ve written before about saving energy via telecommuting. But what if you get lonely? Here’s a a solution: “This fall, the two will open LaunchPad Coworking in an upscale building at Eighth and Brazos streets. The space will still have a coffee area, but mostly it will be made up of office space that can be rented by the hour, presentation rooms built to impress clients and a lot of high-speed Internet access.”

Sounds a lot like Workspace Vancouver, which I’ve mentioned before. It’s all part of the ongoing comfy-chair revolution.

BRITAIN DECLARES WAR ON FOOD WASTE: Going after hoarders and wreckers, now, eh?

UPDATE: This is priceless:

Food is likely to be at the heart of the G8 summit when Mr Brown arrives with seven other world leaders.

Not least because they will have eight official dinners at the lakeside Windsor Hotel Toya in north Japan.

At the culinary helm is Katsuhiro Nakamura, a Michelinstarred chef, who has flown in a team of 50 helpers.

Many ingredients are expected to include the vegetables and seafood for which Hokkaido – the northernmost island of Japan – is renowned. Whether the leaders will be brave enough to try raw sea urchin – a famous Hokkaido dish –remains to be seen.

The chef has also created one international signature dish: the G8 pate. It contains a key ingredient from each of the eight nations – including black truffles from France, ham from Italy and mushrooms from Japan.

Your world leaders address the food crisis!

EXTREME MORTMAN: Purple People Eaters.

SO LONG AS HIS MOTHER WAS A U.S. CITIZEN AT THE TIME, it shouldn’t mattter whether Obama was born in the U.S.A. or not. So I don’t really understand the birth certificate controversy. (There’s no citation supporting this statement: “His presumed Kenyan-born father was foreign-born, and his mother was too young at the time of birth to confer natural born status by virtue of her American citizenship.” To my knowledge, age of the mother at the time of birth shouldn’t matter, but I’m no expert here.) So what’s the point of this controversy? Am I missing something? (Via We Five Kings).

UPDATE: The whole thing looks like it’s BS anyway, according to A.J. Strata.

Current supplies are looking grim. We need to explore and drill more, while working harder on alternatives. And stop putting up barriers to shale oil and Canadian oil sands. Oh, and build more nuclear plants, now.

MORE ON THE ASTEROID THREATS:

For a decade, NASA has been busy trying to identify what else is headed this way, particularly those potential “civilization killers” of 1 kilometer (.62 miles) or more in diameter that have orbits coming within 30 million miles of the Earth’s — too close for comfort by space standards.

But the big ones are, in many ways, the easy part. Smaller rocks matter, too. Perhaps nowhere is that so evident as in central Siberia, where 100 years ago last week, something — presumably a meteoroid, most experts say — streaked across the sky and exploded at an estimated height of 28,000 feet with a force equivalent to 185 Hiroshima bombs, leveling some 800 square miles of forest. Simulations by the Sandia National Laboratories showed that object could have been just 90 feet across.
