High Country News Three strikes and you're out? For Mexican gray wolves, that's no longer the case. Last year, HCN investigated N.M. rancher who admitted baiting wolves to attack livestock so that after the third such attack, the wolf could be killed or removed (http://www.hcn.org/articles/17568). Enviros filed a lawsuit, and now the three-strikes rule is no more.

ALBUQUERQUE - The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and environmentalists reached an agreement Friday that scraps a rule the agency had used to kill or permanently remove any wolf that killed three heads of livestock in a year.

And thank you, HCN, for providing the flashpoint of this debate over the insanity of the 3rd strike rule. Keep us in mind as we move on.

High Country News Looks like the Obama administration's salmon plan is going to run afoul of a federal judge, just like the Bush administration's did. See HCN's cover story "Salmon Salvation?" for context: http://www.hcn.org/issues/41.8/salmon-salvation

GRANTS PASS, Ore. — The federal judge overseeing the balancing act between salmon and Columbia Basin dams said he doesn't think he can consider new steps the Obama administration wants to take.

Mining generally creates havoc with ground and surface waters. A couple of towns in OK have been shut down, and families bought out to save their children. Of course, these were mines that closed 50 years ago.
