With continued warming and more droughts on the horizon, we need to learn how to better live with our natural world and its cycles.

Hollywood's awards season locomotive was derailed Monday when NBC pulled the plug on its highly rated Golden Globes, choosing not to broadcast on Sunday what promised to be a virtually celebrity-free ceremony. The scrapped program would be the first awards show to fall victim to the Writers Guild of America strike, and February's Academy Awards also could be in jeopardy. Although NBC cobbled together a series of Golden Globes-related "news" programs to fill the slot -- including a scaled-down news conference to announce the winners -- the decision sent shock waves through the entertainment business, which had been waiting for weeks to see whether a compromise could be reached among the WGA, the network and Globes producer Dick Clark Productions to allow the show to proceed.

Hours after the awards banquet was canceled, the organizers of many of the evening's swankiest Golden Globes parties -- some of which cost $150,000 and more to put on -- said they were canceling their celebrations too. An NBC e-mail sent to movie studios called for an awards news conference, to be carried by NBC News, along with separate programs devoted to film clips, interviews and Golden Globe parties.
