Andy Revkin, the New York Times environment reporter and Dot Earth blogger, went for a row with his son Jack on Earth Day 2008 in Stuart, Florida. Jack had seen several baby tri-colored herons the day before and found them again, this time with a camcorder. Suburbia and nature can coexist, it seems.

Loren Marks, assistant professor of human ecology at LSU, along with several colleagues, published one of the only studies hallmarking positive, long-lasting African-American marriages. The study, "Together, We Are Strong: A Qualitative Study of Happy, Enduring African American Marriages," will be published in "Family Relations".
"This all started about five years ago, when two of my students came up to me after class to ask me a question I couldn't answer," said Marks. "They asked me why there wasn't any research done on strong, marriage-based black families like the ones they came from."
According to the study, scholars tend to view African American families through what is known as a "deficit perspective," a manner that emphasizes problems and negatives. "We felt it was time that someone stepped up and researched the many solid, long-lasting African American marriages that are out there," said Marks.
