International Joint Commission link added

We've added a link for the International Joint Commission to the "Related Links" section of the sidebar. Water quality issues arising from the current mining and coalbed methane activities at the Canadian end of the North Fork drainage fall under the IJC's purview. It is likely they will be asked to examine the situation in the near future.

From the IJC's web site . . .

"The International Joint Commission is an independent binational organization established by the Boundary Waters Treaty of 1909. Its purpose is to help prevent and resolve disputes relating to the use and quality of boundary waters and to advise Canada and the United States on related questions."
