...practice in a paper published in January in the journal Science. They dismiss federal and state laws, including the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977, which oblige companies to reclaim mined land, for example, by rehabilitating natural biodiversity or rebuilding the mountain to its approximate original contour. Massey has undertaken rehabilitation projects in the region, having already planted one million new trees in Central Appalachia - but critics say such efforts cannot undo the damage. It's the domino effect: initial damage from mining sets off an endless series of environmental consequences that are hard to trace, and even...

Spotlights shine on these three-dimensional contour caricatures, casting shadows on the wall behind. The shadows morph from profile to three-quarter to frontal views, as the wire busts rotate in space...
...between environmentalism and art. The project was aimed at highlighting the potential threat of flooding due to climate change in New York city. Using Google Maps and a chalk dispenser, Mosher drew a single chalk line through parks and public streets in the city along a 10-foot-high contour that marks the potential height of floodwaters by 2050. The project, which took six months and was completed in May 2007, piqued the interest of city-dwellers and passers-by. Mosher said that she welcomed the opportunity to talk to curious strangers about climate change. “When people...
...back down the sides of the legs. These panels are made with a polyurethane coating, designed to eliminate drag. TYR spent more than three years working on the suit. The focus of its research, according to Matt Zimmer, promotions director, was the lightweight, water-repellent fabric and muscle contour compression. The idea behind the compression is two-fold: first of all it provides a barrier between water and skin, reducing what has come to be known as the "jiggle" effect. Second, it keeps blood flow in the body core rather than allowing it to leak to the extremities and cause...
...bench and a clothing hook, today a Jacuzzi seems to be the starter amenity. Mikvah Mei Menachem in Mequon, Wisc., for instance, features Roman columns and post-bath strawberries or chocolate truffles. At Mikvah Shulamit in Plantation, Fla., the immersion fee is a standard $20, but at the adjoining Contour Day Spa, a patron can drop significantly more experiencing hot stone massage, hydrotherapy, or even a botox consultation from the resident...
