Amen to that. But now Georgia's politicians are fighting to protect their culture of consumption and development by suspending the Endangered Species Act, so that they won't have to send any water downstream to preserve endangered mussels in Florida's Apalachicola River. It's not a very holy attitude. Those mussels are God's creatures too--and so are the oystermen and fishermen who depend on the Apalachicola. Anyway, stiffing them won't save Atlanta. That's going to require serious water management and long-term thinking. In other words, a miracle...
...smorgasbord of Army Corps of Engineers water projects because it included a few projects for the Everglades. Next time you hear a green group complain that America's farm policies and water resources policies are degrading America's natural treasures - the Gulf of Mexico, the Chesapeake Bay, the Colorado River, the Everglades - ask whether that group was on the side of reform, or whether it sold out their larger cause for a few projects it could brag about to donors...
...lake in Western Victoria, Bob McClelland is harvesting wheat - and grateful to be doing it. Thanks to a little rain and a pipeline from the Murray River, McClelland's farm is surviving the six-year drought that's parched much of southeast Australia.

...called, simply, The Boat Race. But the grueling, annual 178-year-old meet, which pits two eight-man rowing teams from the universities of Cambridge and Oxford against each other along a four-mile stretch of London's River Thames, is the most famous, most watched rowing race in the world. In April, when Cambridge staged an amazing come-from-behind win, one of the victorious rowers was Dan O'Shaughnessy, a brash Canadian who initially didn't make the coaches' cut. O'Shaughnessy's a strong rower, but in this sport, synchronization is key, and his technique didn...
...architect of Harvard’s planned science complex, a 589,000-square-foot building that received approval from Boston last month. The complex—which will include winter gardens, skybridges, and an enclosed courtyard—will be the first project built across the Charles River. As the first architect to take a crack at the Allston campus, Behnisch faces the pressure of living up to the image of a university better known for brick and ivy than glass and limestone. According to the chief operating officer for the University’s Allston Development Group, Christopher...
