SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The Nature Conservancy has bought ranchland near Mount Shasta to repair a cow-ravaged tributary of Shasta River, historically one of the most productive salmon streams in California.

Restoring Big Springs Creek could be "a silver bullet" in reviving runs of salmon, steelhead and other fish throughout the Klamath Basin, said Henry Little, project director for the conservancy in California.

I love origami for its simplicity, beauty and, of course, challenging techniques. But "useful" has never really been a defining characteristic. "Origami Card Craft: 30 Clever Cards and Envelopes to Fold" by Karen Elaine Thomas (Potter Craft, $21.95) is here to change that perspective.

The book has some beautiful designs for cards, pockets, envelopes, boxes and more. The papers used in the designs in the book are so beautiful and colorful, I can't bear to even try one of the designs using what I have on hand — computer paper! (Note to publishers: Next time release a companion pack of some delicious prints, too!)
