...Lake City. This being Utah, and these being figure skaters, the empty rink had less to do with Opening Ceremony hangovers and more to do with competitive strategizing - the remaining ladies in her group, Americans Sarah Hughes and Sasha Cohen, have decamped for more private training facilities (Hughes in Colorado Springs, Cohen back home in Orange County, California), and the Japanese ladies have yet to arrive. So it was just Kwan and her father, Danny, who has been sitting in as her coach since she fired Frank Carroll last November. She's likely to have the ice all to herself...

Love, first elected in 1963 with scant political experience, served a record 10 years. He lured many businesses to Colorado, but as a moderate often differed with fellow Republicans on the environment and abortion...

And Colorado is likely to abolish a law that requires women to obtain the written permission of the Governor before serving in the National Guard...
...Arctic Oscillation--sometimes called the North Atlantic Oscillation or the northern hemisphere annular mode--involves atmospheric-pressure changes over the northernmost part of the globe, from about 55[degrees] latitude on up, according to Colorado State University's David Thompson and the University of Washington's John M. Wallace. When the AO is in a positive phase--that is, pressure at the core of the region is low--a ring of wind that swirls around the North Pole increases in strength and keeps the frigid Arctic air from escaping southward out of the vortex. That means warmer than usual weather...
Nussbaum's philosophy has. Acting on her conviction that philosophers should be "lawyers for humanity" (as her beloved Seneca put it), she has thrown herself repeatedly into the public arena--citing Plato on the witness stand in a Colorado courtroom, for example, to argue that there were no ancient precedents for discriminating against homosexuals. That performance sparked an uproar in academic circles and helped make her America's most prominent female philosopher. She has been interviewed by Bill Moyers and photographed by Annie Leibowitz, and she regularly entertains readers of the New Republic and the New York Review of Books...
