Same-sex marriage in Canada: The Ontario Appeals Court rules that the law restricting marriage to heterosexual couples contravenes the equality provisions in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The court does not permit the province any grace time to bring its law in conformity with the ruling. This appears to mean that Ontario has become the first jurisdiction in North America to recognize same-sex marriages. Toronto announces that its city clerk will begin to issue marriage licences to same-sex couples, and two same-sex couples who filed suit have their marriages retroactively recognized. [1]

In the winter 2002-03 greenhouse and the summer 2003 field plots, we sowed offspring from hybrids mated with others from the previous year and with winterhardy plants that re-emerged in spring 2002.
In the field, we sowed a summer 2003 crossing nursery that contained three types of sorghum: 1) the best winterhardy plants identified in the springs of 2002 and 2003, 2) the good agronomic (crop-like) lines that we are yield-testing (see above), and 3) the plants treated with nitrous oxide.
In spring 2003 at The Land Institute, NSA fellow Elena Beyhaut of the University of Minnesota established a plot here and began to evaluate bacterial strains for their efficiency in fixing nitrogen in symbiosis with Illinois bundleflower.
