...where there is still plenty of skipjack for the taking. Fishing is growing faster in this swath of the Pacific than in any other part of the world, says the WCPFC, as ever greater numbers of boats from Asia, the Americas and Europe are leaving depleted waters for these bluer pastures. "We're getting a lot of boats seeking to come into our region from the Indian Ocean and eastern Pacific because the skipjack is still healthy here," says John Hampton, manager of the Secretariat of the Pacific Community's Oceanic Fisheries Program, which studies highly migratory fish stocks...
...perilous to generalize about a place this gigantic, an overwhelmingly metropolitan state that leads the nation in agricultural production, a majority-minority state with a white-majority electorate. There are real differences between (crunchy, techy) Northern and (hipster, surfer) Southern California, and especially (richer, denser, bluer) coastal and (poorer, sparser, redder) inland California. But one generalization has held true from the Gold Rush to the human-potential movement to the dotcom boom: California stands for change, for disruption of the status quo. "California is not another American state," concluded Carey McWilliams in his 1949 history California: The Great Exception...

...self-proclaimed “power-user,” was not happy by the change. “I logged into my Facebook, and it looked terrible. It looked like a tundra,” he said of the new interface, which is significantly wider and bluer. In the early stages of its launch, Facebook users were able to opt in and out of the new layout. The switch became mandatory and permanent last week.Chief among Bethel’s many complaints was the amount of work he suddenly had to do in order to navigate the Web site...
...gravity minutely affects the color of light emitted by stars they orbit by altering the star’s own movements. Such light changes—called “doppler shifts”—produce redder light when gravity nudges the star towards an observer and bluer light when gravity moves it away. But these shifts are often too small to accurately measure. “You could find Jupiters but you couldn’t find Earths,” said Ronald L. Walsworth, a senior physics lecturer who helped lead the project...
