What might have happened back in the Pliocene, say Fedorov and his colleagues, is that an initial bout of global warming led to severer hurricanes - a distinct possibility supported by recent research published in Science and Nature Geoscience - and severer hurricanes led to more warming. Although most of us think about hurricanes in terms of their impact on the land, they also wreak havoc on the sea, churning the water like giant mixers and forcing warm surface waters deeper. When that occurs in the central Pacific, "the ocean responds by sending that water to the East," where it rises again...
...with a 7-2 decision over Derek Schreiner. The senior standout used two early takedowns to build a lead and did not let up. O’Connor followed with a second-period reversal and, despite giving up a third-period score, maintained control for the rest of the bout...

When Dutchman Sven Kramer, 24, won the gold and set an Olympic 5,000-meter record, they roared. But, then again, they cheered boisterously for every skater that passed by them. As sports fans go, no group is more bewildering than the speed-skating nuts from Holland...

The two wrestlers did not spend much time in neutral position, though, as the Crimson co-captain notched another takedown and transitioned into...
...position, co-captain Katherine O’Donnell couldn’t turn the tide twice, losing the first of two highly-contested games by scores of 12-10. Princeton’s Kaitlin Sennett finished the bout with an 11-8 win. It was a disappointment for O’Donnell on Senior Day, marking the last game at the Barnaby Courts for the two talented captains and classmate Sandra Mumanachit...
