How Lowering Crime Could Contribute to Global Warming

The rebound effect describes changes that inadvertently raise carbon emissions. A recent study illustrated one such rebound involving crime reduction.

Lowering crime is probably not an effective way to resist global warming.
Urban living would work better.
A population that walks to work and works at low mechanical energy tasks
would be better than imprisonment.

Transgender Acceptance

“Transgender identity is not a mental illness and should not be pathologized,” the Society of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology says.

Gender identity is not the same as gay identity though both appear to be genetic.
Culture must adapt to reality.
We are not yet able to adjust individual genetics.

Where a Queens Jogger Died, Residents Warn: Don’t Go There Alone

Known as the Weeds, the reed-choked interior of Spring Creek Park in the Howard Beach neighborhood, where the body of Karina Vetrano was found, has long been a part of local lore.

Wild lands are not civilized.

Some people are monsters.

I expect there will be a DNA identity soon.
That does not mean there will be a match in the database.

Thousands of Roaming Dogs Are Cited as Problem in Poor Areas of Dallas

A mauling death brought new attention to the issue of unattended dogs, with a study finding that dog bites in the city had increased 15 percent a year since 2013.

They do change community behavior.

Michael Phelps Chosen to Lead U.S. Team at Opening Ceremony

The 18-time gold medalist will carry the American flag into the Olympic Stadium on Friday.

If he can do it, bully for him.

A Tantalizing Offering From a Meal Kit Service: The Box

The reusable box that FreshRealm created to reduce packaging waste is a selling point of its delivery service — and a product it sells to competitors.

The struggle for market dominance.  Nothing beats a string bag for vegetables and a butcher paper wrap on meat.

Dylann Roof Attacked by a Fellow Inmate, Officials Say

Mr. Roof, the white man charged in the massacre of nine black parishioners at a Charleston, S.C., church, was said to have been assaulted by a black man.

Mr. Roof is not badly injured yet.
I do not expect he will long survive.

It would work.

Doping Sample Bottles, No Longer Seen as Tamper-Proof, Endure

Thousands of glass bottles, central to accounts of rampant cheating at the last Olympics, are set to be used at the Rio Games.

The bottles are still tamper resistant.
There will be a better watch kept on them.

$32 Million Sale on Fifth Avenue

The chief executive of Loews uses a trust to buy a sprawling apartment at 1040 Fifth Avenue, an exclusive co-op designed by Rosario Candela.

I don't want to know the tenants.

The Middle East Conflict on Campus

Tufts clerics try to put Palestinian supporters and Friends of Israel in the same room. Who shows up?

As neither party wants peace there will be no peace.

Aid to Central America

Lutheran World Relief says “the best way to curb immigration from Central America is to address the factors that are pushing people to leave.”

Yes.

James O’Neill, a Lifelong Officer, Will Step Into the Police Dept.’s Top Job

Chief O’Neill, who was named New York’s next police commissioner, is steeped in the city’s policing culture, but has been among those eager to embrace change.

The N.Y. P.D. will continue as it was.
Local conditions will deteriorate.
