...environmental cost of this cropland creep is now becoming apparent. One groundbreaking new study in Science concluded that when this deforestation effect is taken into account, corn ethanol and soy biodiesel produce about twice the emissions of gasoline. Sugarcane ethanol is much cleaner, and biofuels created from waste products that don't gobble up land have real potential, but even cellulosic ethanol increases overall emissions when its plant source is grown on good cropland. "People don't want to believe renewable fuels could be bad," says the lead author, Tim Searchinger, a Princeton scholar and former Environmental Defense attorney...
...addition to eliminating the family contribution for those earning less than $120,000 annually, Flier said in his letter that the Medical School would also no longer take into account the income families set aside each year for retirement...
...practical effects of climate change are notoriously difficult to predict on the regional level, and many experts criticize the Scripps study for failing to take into account improved water-management policies that could keep the lake wet well into the future. But it is as clear as those chalky white bathtub rings that Mead and the Colorado River are getting lower, and that could leave the states along the basin--whose populations grew 10% from 2000 to 2006, compared with the U.S. average of 5.6%--high and dry. "We don't think this is a regular drought," says Scott Huntley...
When making a bat for Ichiro, for example, Kubota shaves it to 31 oz. to 31.75 oz. (880 g to 900 g), taking into account the 0.25 oz. (7 g) of lacquer that will be added. He places the sweet spot--the point of peak springiness--2 in. to 2.4 in. (5 cm to 6 cm) from the top, which is where Ichiro wants...
...party's nominee if their state's delegates aren't seated at the Democratic National Convention in Denver in August - and by seated they mean counted in the final tally to choose the presidential nominee. Florida has more than 4 million registered Democrats, but even just taking into account the 1.7 million Florida Democrats who voted in the January primary, that's still a potential alienation of some 400,000 votes, on a peninsula (and the nation's fourth largest state) that ended up deciding the 2000 presidential race by a mere 537 ballots. In addition, some state party leaders...
