By Don Springer  Warm weather has arrived. I know because the boat traffic has begun in earnest on Coal River. The water skiers are out and even the youngest of the young are wading or swimming in the waters.

I SEE from last Thursday's Evening Times that Network Rail hasn't given priority to the excellent Crossrail project to link rail lines south of the Clyde to those in the north and east.  I live in the Merchant City and would dearly love to use the proposed station at Glasgow Cross.

By Bill Michelmore The noise and the wake created by 50-foot-long jet boats on the Niagara River come across loud and clear. Erosion of the riverbanks is a more elusive concern.

Rollie Vonlinger looked sadly across Lake Cumberland at some of the fishing spots he has hit over the past 30 years. It is going to be hard to get to some of those spots from now on, because the boat ramp he normally uses no longer reaches the water.

Nice people don't crane  their necks to see the aftermath of a train wreck. They don't  chase ambulances, don't goggle or giggle when some poor victim  is carried away on a stretcher. They say nice things even when  they're thinking mean ones. They keep a civil tongue.

By Bert Caldwell, The Spokesman-Review, Spokane, Wash.  Feb. 8--Worrying about water when the morning air is so saturated you cannot see a block ahead may seem strange, but why wait for spring runoff?   And there will be a runoff, for which no small thanks is owed.

I read the March 4 story "Water woes" about Rhode Island's problems with fresh water with great interest. My view on this issue may be oversimplified, but there was no mention of harnessing the state's greatest resource, our proximity to the ocean.

Doc: "A year from now every newspaper will have a newsriver." I think so too because: 1. The idea is so compelling and 2. It's so easy to implement. Thanks so much to Doc Searls for writing a great evangelical piece about the power of rivers. The stream is turning into a current, and soon really will be a river.  It&#185;s so weird to see rivers show up in Facebook, and Twitter is just a big river of all the people you&#185;re following. The idea is actually a descendent of the teletype terminals that used to be in the movies (and for all I know in actual newsrooms). The news would be printed on scrolls of paper, and when a new story would come in it would push all the older stories onto the floor. You could catch up on the news by scrolling back through the news. Cary Grant, Rosalind Russell, Katherine Hepburn did it. We&#185;ll all be doing it soon enough. And it really helps to get other people singing the song, esp from within the hallowed halls of Harvard. The more attention we get focused on it, the more other developers will tune in. And what may not be so clear from the narrative is that this project got its start from a meeting I had with some technical people at the Times last week in NY. Like most organizations, it's not of one mind, there are people who are scared of what comes next but there are others who know that the Times has to change. By opening up their internal data to me, all kinds of interesting stuff can happen. We've been here before. The Times are the unsung heroes of RSS, without them it never would have solidified, with the publishing industry falling in behind the Times. It was this consensus that created critical mass for RSS 2.0 in 2002 and 2003. I really hope some of this stuff feeds back into the Times support of RSS. And as you have seen, there are now lots of new opportunities in user interface for news. This is what I do, when I'm in my "flow" -- we're there now again, with a new toy to build and then play with, every day.  Betsy Devine: "Dave Winer has been improving the New York Times for as long as I&#185;ve known him." Phil Windley: "With more sources, who are themselves continuously updating, the keyword river could be as dynamic as you&#185;d want it to be."
