The word has come to imply something that often has very little to do with one?s actual offspring.

In just about every sport, athletes push the boundaries of fairness, but that doesn?t justify violating the rules.

Historically, water from the area that?s now Beacon Yards flowed into a waterway called Salt Creek, which was covered up long ago, and then into the Charles River. A proposal by Northeastern student Matt Rowan would recreate it as a system that would direct water through retention ponds where plants would help clean it up, and then into the signature feature shown here: an open-air waterway, in the heart of the new Beacon Yards, whose banks would be the most vibrant part of the emerging neighborhood. Along the waterway would be a kayak launch ? turning a spot now isolated by the Mass. Pike into a portal to the Charles. Storm-water disposal is often an ugly afterthought in urban design schemes, but Rowan?s plan would turn it into a centerpiece.
