Portland Aquarium not required to have permits for 2,200 species – KOIN 6
Carla Castaño: The co-owner of the Portland Aquarium in Milwaukie was arrested Thursday in Boise on charges of illegally harvesting marine life.
Ammon Covino, president of the Idaho Aquarium, and Christopher Conk, Idaho Aquarium secretary, were arrested Thursday.
Prosecutors in Idaho say the men bought four illegally harvested spotted eagle rays and two lemon sharks for approximately $6,300 and transported them to Idaho.

Of the 2,200 different species currently inside the Portland Aquarium, not one requires a permit by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. However, the two exhibits that are vacant, for Puffins and River Otters, do.
Weird. I was looking for the address so I could map my photos from last week, and found this.

“Flaming goat cheese on a truck” would make a good curse. But it’s awful for your commute
I’m going to have to start using “flaming goat cheese on a truck!” as a pseudo-curse.
This is even weirder than the truck full of meat that caught fire on the 5 near Camp Pendleton a few years back, blocking the entire freeway in an area with no alternate routes for a whole day.

When you see interesting data mash-ups today, they are often still using Flickr photos because Instagram’s meager metadata sucks, and the app is only reluctantly on the web at all. We get excuses about why we can’t search for old tweets or our own relevant Facebook content, though we got more comprehensive results from a Technorati search that was cobbled together on the feeble software platforms of its era.
