...impacts of such development will be immense, ranging from the destruction of wildlife habitat to the loss of sediment transfer - the natural movement of soil downstream to create alluvial floodplains that farmers have relied upon for centuries. Thousands of villagers would have to be relocated to make room for dams and reservoirs, and many would still not benefit directly from new power production because most of the electricity would be used in cities, not in rural areas. Environmentalists are also skeptical that the ambitious integrated scheme would ever work. "It's pie-in-the-sky stuff," says Lori Pottinger, director...
...simply trying to teach you the best way to eat a boiled crawfish (or crayfish, as they're known outside Louisiana). And there'll be plenty of that going on at the annual Breaux Bridge Crawfish Festival (bbcrawfest.com), held from May 5-7. Nicknamed "mudbugs" because of their natural habitat in the mud of the southern state's bayou or creeks, crawfish were once scorned as food for the poor.

SATURDAY Mammoth postering efforts and that weird playhouse outside the Science Center were unable to draw a crowd to Habitat for Humanity’s Housed party in Eliot. In another d-hall, Hungama and its accompanying South Asian music enticed a sizeable number of dancers until well past midnight! Mini-skirt-clad girls swapped Uggs for thongs (flip-flops, you pervert!) and wandered between parties...
...randomly across the tank. Instead of standing still, as Girguis had expected them to, the worms all migrated to the region of the water that was roughly 50 degrees Celsius. This effectively mapped out the temperature range the organisms could tolerate, according to Girguis. The worms’ natural habitat is “as hot as the hottest deserts on Earth,” Girguis said. Because water conducts heat so well and because worms are unable to regulate their internal body temperature, their insides are exposed to the full brunt of the temperature, he said...
