Bluffton’s Bluff and Marshland Growth on the May River
Bluffton in South Carolina sits on a May River bluff, with Spartina marshes and diverse birds still thriving as development presses. The town grew as an inland distribution hub, annexed Palmetto Bluff acreage in 1998 to limit growth, and remains tied to its eccentric, relaxed coastal character despite new rooftops and ongoing plant life like cabbage palms thriving in sandy soils.

Doctors fault safety report for neglecting simple checklists
Safety experts criticize a government commissioned report on reducing medical errors for omitting basic practices such as surgical sponge counts and checklists. The JAMA critique by Leape, Berwick, and Bates praises some studied methods but urges not to dismiss common sense safety steps and calls for broader inclusion of practical, low risk measures.

Endangered condors slated to be released in Mexico
Wildlife biologists plan to ship six California condors to Mexico to be released over a national park once part of their range. The birds will travel from Burbank to Tijuana on July 30 if permits are obtained, then by helicopter or road to a Baja California site near Sierra San Pedro Martir. They will stay in a large pen for one to two months at about 6,000 feet elevation before release.
