...something I love. I want to do it forever. The trick will be to find a sophomore in two years to pick it up when I graduate,” Hiatt said as he transferred the fermenting liquid from the barrel to the carboy to remove sediment. He spends about ten hours a week preparing Smada, making the hallways of Randolph smell like the steam behind John Harvard’s. “Just smell it, it smells great,” he said...
...Finally, to get a clearer, better brew, periodically transfer the wort to a new container to remove the sediment. At this point, it’s also the time to “dry hop” it with fancier flavors like roasted coffee grounds or coriander to give the beer more complex flavors...
...focus right now should be simple: better levees for New Orleans and real restoration of the coast. Southern Louisiana began to disappear after the Corps imprisoned the Mississippi River and converted it into a barge channel that stopped depositing sediment into its Delta; satellite images of this spring's floods showed the river wasting huge plumes of sediment out to sea, sediment that could be diverted to restore coastal marshes and rebuild barrier islands. There is already $1 billion worth of small projects on the books to start that process, but restoration work is moving much, much more slowly than...
...will not be enough to stop making the problem worse; at some point there will have to be some real restoration. Southern Lousiana began to disappear in the 20th century after the Corps imprisoned the Mississippi River and converted it into a barge channel that no longer deposited sediment into coastal marshes; this NASA satellite image shows that sediment cascading into the Gulf of Mexico during the Mississippi floods this spring. "You can see on that map how we missed our chance this year," says Paul Harrison, an Environmental Defense attorney. The huge brown plumes around the Atchafalaya, the Head...
...magnitude quake, the country's worst natural disaster in more than 30 years, has probably killed at least 50,000 and has left more than 5 million homeless, according to official sources. Horrific videos from the disaster zone--the twisted bodies of children layered like fossils in the sediment of a pancaked concrete schoolhouse, the desperate decision to amputate the legs of a dying girl pinned in rubble--forced the Chinese people to look into the abyss. And reflected was the image of a more compassionate nation than many had perhaps expected, where tens of millions of Chinese lined...
