...kind of like an NCAA tournament," explained Dan F. Aquino, artist support manager for iuma.com. "Now we're down to the final four, who will be flown out to San Francisco to open for Primus...
There's something odd and not a little disquieting about mixing Harvard's timeless gravitas with the flighty transience of popular music. It's why one cringes when, on warm spring afternoons, rock seeps into the Yard from open dorm windows. It's why, during Take Back the Night week, former Cliffies' dancing to Madonna's "Express Yourself" atop Widener's steps seems the basest possible blasphemy.

...avoid becoming just another environmental headache, aquaculture needs standards. Raising fish species alien to the local habitat should be discouraged, since escapees can drive out native fish or infect them with disease. Penning fish in open waterways is also problematic.

Fish farming is best done in indoor, onshore facilities. The fish rarely escape, and the wastewater can be treated before being released. Growing vegetarian species such as tilapia is ideal, since...
...planet sure seems smaller and smaller these days. The "wide-open spaces" that the Grammy-winning Dixie Chicks sing about are becoming few and far between.

In Japan activists like Yoshitoshi Era have helped prod local governments to step up land buying. "We have to protect what is left," he says. Private groups and wealthy individuals can open their pocketbooks too. Preservation-minded Doug Tompkins, founder of the Esprit clothing company, has bought 640,000 acres (259,000 hectares) of forest land in Chile...
