Posted at 2:47 PM on 10 Jan 2008 The famous Iditarod sled dog race is undergoing permanent changes as organizers cope with urban sprawl and a warming climate. For the ceremonial start to the competition on Mar. 1, racers will travel 11 miles instead of the traditional 18 miles. The race itself will kick off Mar. 2 from Willow, Alaska, 30 miles north of the traditional starting town of Wasilla. Says Stan Hooley of the Iditarod Tra ...

Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh Bye Humans have intruded on large-mammal habitat, says study		27 Dec 2007	News
Posted at 4:57 PM on 27 Dec 2007 Humans have driven out large mammals in, um, droves, says a new study in the Journal of Mammalogy. Since the year 1500, at least 35 percent of mammals weighing over 44 pounds have seen their range cut by more than half, thanks to humans moving on in. Well gee, maybe if the animals had brought over a welcome basket we would have been more neighborly. source:� BBC News < ...

Brash Monkey Thousands of monkeys uprooted by sprawl move into New Delhi		14 Nov 2007	News
Posted at 3:17 PM on 14 Nov 2007 Last month, the deputy mayor of New Delhi fell from a terrace to his death while trying to fend off a gang of wild monkeys. This weekend, rampaging monkeys attacked up to 25 people in the Indian capital. While the scenes are tragic, it would be a stretch to call them unexpected: In the center of New Delhi, monkeys scamper through buildings, bathe in fountains, and frolic in parks and on gro ...

You're Getting Warmer, Warmer ... Sprawling homes susceptible to flames in California		24 Oct 2007	News
Posted at 3:27 PM on 24 Oct 2007 The impact of the still-raging California fires on humans and their homes is tragic and lamentable -- but far from unexpected, thanks to homeowners' tendency to sprawl out and nestle right up to the fire line. Some two-thirds of new building in southern California in the past decade was on tinder-dry, fire-susceptible land, says historian Mike Davis. "You might as well be ...

Walk It Off Land-use decisions a key factor in emissions reduction, says analysis		21 Sep 2007	News
Posted at 12:36 PM on 21 Sep 2007 How to reduce U.S. greenhouse-gas emissions? Building compact, mixed-use neighborhoods would be just as effective as much-touted policies like boosting fuel economy, cleaning up power plants, and building green, says a new analysis from the Urban Land Institute. The U.S. population is expected to grow 23 percent by 2030; under the sprawl-encouraging status quo, driving is expected ...

Tippecanoe and Tainted Too Indiana county has three times more parking spaces than residents		19 Sep 2007	News
Posted at 3:23 PM on 19 Sep 2007 Indiana's Tippecanoe County is home to 155,000 residents whom apparently are swamped with visitors, as the county has 355,000 public parking spaces. We'll just float this by them: Parking lots can contribute to water pollution, erosion, the urban heat island effect, and local flooding. Which could be extra dangerous for those in a Tippecanoe -- if you get our drift. They ...
