user: Browser extension bans NFL's most controversial name from your Internet
It's no secret that the NFL's Washington Redskins have a controversial, if not downright racist, name that many agree doesn't belong in pro sports or anywhere else.

Washington owner Daniel Snyder has steadfastly refused to change the name, however, and the NFL seems disinclined to put any pressure on him to do so. But — thanks to a trio of creative digitally-minded activists — you can now ban the nickname from your own web browsing experience.

The extension is called the Redskins Web Skin, and it changes the Washington team's nickname to what its creators call "a more dignified term." Options include the Washington Athletes, the Washington Thanksgiving Originators and the Washington Americans. The extension is ready to download for Chrome; Safari and Firefox versions are coming soon, they say.

We gave it a spin; it's a pretty nifty and cheeky bit of subversion. Here, for example, is how a tweet from the team's official Twitter account looks after installing the web skin.

The Chrome extension was built over the course of a few days by Patricia Yee, Brett Lareau, and Eric Schlakman.

In an email to Mashable, they described their moment of inspiration like this: "We were wondering if the Redskins were playing on Thanksgiving, and then realized how absurdly racist our conversation sounded. It was like we were in 1614, not 2014. That was the moment we decided we could do something about replacing the name — at least on the web."

You can download the extension here and follow the project on Twitter here.

A simple browser extension means you'll never have to see the NFL's most racist team nickname on your Internet again.


Q: U.N. Warns that 90% of World's Fish Stock Is Fully or Overly Fished

Despite efforts to cull overfishing, the state of the world’s fish population in the oceans has not improved.

That’s according to the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization in its biannual report, The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture.

The authors noted that fish is essential to the diet of many populations. It accounts for about 17% of the world’s protein, and 50% of the protein consumed in many the world’s least-developed countries.

And humans have been eating more fish in recent years. That surge in demand led to 31% of ocean life to be overfished in 2013—meaning the populations are being hauled away faster than they can reproduce. About 58.1% of fish stocks are on the cusp of entering the endangered category.

Production is set to increase about 17% by 2025, as compared to 2013 through 2015 levels. But that still won’t keep up with demand. Consumption over the next decade is expected to outpace that, rising 21%.

Though there may be a saving grace.

“Surging demand for fish and fishery products will mainly be met by growth in supply from aquaculture production,” the report stated, referring to farmed fish, a sector that is expected to expand by 39% by 2025.

Aquaculture production will also grow more strongly for freshwater fish—meaning consumers could expect lower prices on shrimp, carp, salmon, bivalves, tilapia, and catfish at their local grocery stores in the future.

Nascar star Tony Stewart 'emotional' but ready to return to the track

The Nascar driver Tony Stewart, who earlier this month hit and killed a fellow driver during a sprint car race in New York state, on Friday released a statement ahead of his return to the track.

At a press conference held at the Atlanta Motor Speedway, where he will race this weekend, Stewart said he was ready to compete, three weeks after his car struck and killed Kevin Ward, 20, after their cars collided on a bend at the Canandaigua Motorsports Park. Ward left his car and walked down the race track, apparently in an attempt to confront Stewart, but was hit by his car and killed.

In Atlanta, Stewart said Ward’s death would “affect my life forever”.

“I’ve taken the last couple of weeks off out of respect for Kevin and his family and also to cope with the accident in my own way,” he said. “It’s given me the time to think about life and how easy it is to take it for granted. I miss my team, my team-mates and I miss being back in the race car and I think being back in the car this week with my racing family will help me get through this difficult time.”

Stewart, who has won Nascar’s Sprint Series Cup three times, has missed three races. On Thursday the Nascar executive vice president, Steve O’Donnell, said: “Tony Stewart has received all the necessary clearances required to return to all racing activities and therefore is eligible to compete this weekend at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

“Nascar has remained in constant contact with his race team and we will stay very close to this situation as Stewart returns to competition.”

On 11 August police said an investigation into Ward’s death had found no evidence of criminal conduct. The investigation is ongoing.

In Atlanta, Stewart said he could not answer questions about the incident and left the news conference after reading a short statement.

Stewart-Haas Racing executive vice president Brett Frood said it was “100%” Stewart’s decision to race.

“Tony has sent the family flowers and a card around the services, aside from that, he has been very respectful of their time to grieve,” Frood said. “It is very important to Tony to spend time with the family ... but [he] is being respectful.”

Since Ward’s death, Nascar has implemented a rule prohibiting drivers from getting out of crashed or disabled vehicles, unless they are on fire, until safety personnel arrive.

A tree cathedral grows in Italy : Arts & Architecture, Italy

Europeâs churches may be masterpieces, but one cathedral in Italy has traded stone for saplings to make a place of worship thatâs both divine and down-to-earth.

Located in Bergamo in northern Italy, the Cattedrale Vegetale (the Green or Plant Cathedral) uses trees and branches to create a cathedral-like structure at the base of Mount Arera. The five-aisle basilica gets its structure from 42 columns, formed by weaving more than 600 chestnut and hazel branches around 1,800 fir tree poles, the branches curving at the top to form the arches.

Since these man-made columns will eventually deteriorate, a single beech tree has been planted inside each column. After several years, the trees will eventually outgrow the structure, creating a completely natural wall and roof. The frame was completed in 2010 as part of the United Nations’ International Year of Biodiversity, but beech trees take decades to fully mature, so the 650sqmetre cathedral remains an evolving structure.

Cattedrale Vegetale is one of the most impressive and structured tree cathedrals in the world, but it is not the first of its kind. The cathedral’s artist/architect Giuliano Mauri built a similar structure in Valsugana, Italy in 2002, as part of Arte Sella, an exhibition of environmental and natural art. In the United Kingdom, the Whipsnade Tree Cathedral in Bedfordshire was planted in 1932 as a response to World War I, and the Cathedral of Trees was created in Milton Keynes following the same design as Norwich Cathedral in Britain’s east.
