Rural communities in the valley would be better off if they developed themselves as destination spots. In particular, a healthy and accessible Jordan River (much of its banks on the Israeli side are in a restricted military zone) could be a much bigger draw for pilgrims visiting holy sites. FOEME and Yale University architects have developed a showcase ecotourism project: a Peace Park on an island in the middle of the river, where Jordanians and Israelis may one day meet without passports or visas. The Peace Park would also be a concrete way of fighting the mistrust that pushes countries...

...parents of the girls are outraged that their children's ages and abilities are under suspicion. However, the reasoning behind the IOC's age minimum was to protect the athletes. Gymnastics in particular has a new code of points that rewards the most difficult routines and, as a result, training sessions in the sport have have only become more grueling. Keeping the youngest competitors from the rigorous world of international competition is supposed to protect them from dangerous, potentially life-long injuries. In that respect, age doping is no different from other illegal performance enhancing tactic - not only...
