...teams, not just the ones with the lowest participation levels, is suspicious, to say the least. Secondly, there is an enormous differential between the funding that JV and club sports receive from the Department of Athletics. Transitioning JV sports to club status would save the Department a significant chunk of change. Typically the Department budgets $10,000-15,000 per year for the 29 existing club teams, which works out to about $400 per sport. According to Fry, each JV team typically receives about $1500 per year, or more than three times as much. Though Fry claims that, should...

...company? The same thing that transformed Starbucks and Cold Stone Creamery from local favorites into global brands--a knack for taking an ordinary but well-liked food and tarting it up into a premium product.

...down to the magic of fractions. Under the old formula, every state was guaranteed at least .75% of the state-grant program - a very high minimum compared to other federal programs, which made sure that even less populous states with a relatively small risk of terrorism received a sizable chunk of cash. Since 9/11, billions of dollars in homeland-security grants have gone out under this bizarre and nonsensical formula, which TIME investigated in-depth in 2004. In the new law, however, Congress cut the minimum to .375%, and set the percentage to decline a little bit more each additional...
...technically unprecedented mission to explore whether a ridge beneath the North Pole was geologically linked to their territory. (If it is - if the ridge is an extension of their continental shelf and, therefore, an extension of the country's coastline - it could mean legal rights to a greater chunk of the sea for Denmark.) "I'm sure that the foreseeable easier access to the North Pole and potential oil in those areas is a tremendous focus of the Danish politicians," says Jakobsen. He says the talks, part of a commission's report that's due out about increasing Greenland...
