...getting ready for death," Doe said. She said she hung her head and cried during the ceremony when Jeffs told her to say "I do," and she had to be told to kiss her new husband.

She got home to find a new queen-size bed in her room, decorated by her family with chocolates and cookies arranged in the shape of a heart...

The supply crunch looks set to get worse as a ban intended to replenish the stocks of the depleted Caspian sea, which supplies about 90 percent of the world's caviar, was rescinded earlier this year to the outrage of environmentalists...
...cloud seeding is back, especially in Australia. Energy company Snowy Hydro, for example, is trying to replenish dwindling snowfall in the not-so-Snowy Mountains in New South Wales.

...perfect trap: poor soils lead to poor harvests, and poor harvests lead to poor households unable to replenish the soil. But with a little help, Mbola has begun to break this cycle and begin the climb out of poverty. Last year it became a U.N.-backed Millennium Village and is now one of scores of such villages in more than a dozen countries in sub-Saharan Africa to receive aid from a new organization I had the honor of co-founding, Millennium Promise. Business and civic leaders helped form this poverty-ending alliance, which promotes holistic, community-driven economic-development...
