...tricky issues. It would be hard to find anyone who would dispute that Polynesian kids grow fast. In football, this means they tend to be bigger than their white peers at a stage of life - seven to 17 - when players lack the technical refinements that can neutralize differences in bulk. "The small kid can't help his size, and the bigger kid has done nothing wrong either," the former New South Wales Rugby League development officer Frank Barrett said recently, "but as an administrator it breaks my heart to see a kid weighing 35 kg get flattened by an opponent...
Southside will also use eco-friendly chemical cleaners, biodegradable to-go containers, and bulk sugar and ketchup dispensers instead of disposable packets. Kitchen waste oil will be filtered and reused before being donated to biodiesel-fuel depots. Even the leftover food on students' plates will do double-duty. Food scraps and biodegradable napkins will be washed into a contraption called the pulper, where they will get, well, pulped. The resulting slurry will be pumped to the first-floor extractor, in which it is dehydrated and turned into a material resembling sawdust. The remaining "food dust" is then dumped into...
...Russian officials have said that they will remove the bulk of the troops that have occupied Georgia by the end of Friday. But there is still little evidence that the promised pull-out will be completed on or near schedule Friday morning. Russian soldiers controlled a major checkpoint just 35 km (21.7 miles) from Tbilisi on the road to Gori, checking papers, searching cars and preventing some foreigners, including many journalists, from traveling further. The withdrawal "is taking place but very slowly," says Finnish foreign minister Alexander Stubb, the head of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe...
...Anderson Cancer Center, "all these studies are fraught with biases, so you have to interpret them cautiously. There is not enough evidence to even lay out cautions at this point." Still, neither Unilever nor P&G uses parabens in its antiperspirants any longer. That's good news for the bulk of us, for whom antiperspirants are more about confidence than anything else. So, at least for now, it seems safe to roll...
Such experiments have been done in Greenland and Antarctica for decades, with ice cores that can track climatic history up to 800,000 years ago, and they've helped form the bulk of our knowledge about past climate change. But the timeline is patchy, especially in Greenland, where we haven't been able to get a reliable ice core dating from 115,000 to 130,000 years ago. That's the Eemian period, and during those years the earth was some 5?C warmer than it is today. The NEEM scientists, whose ice cores should track back to that period...
