Nevertheless, high-speed rail is an idea whose time has come - at least for environmentalists. According to Environment America, high-speed rail uses a third less energy per mile than auto or air travel, and a nationwide system could reduce oil use by 125 million bbl. a year. In addition, high-speed rail represents the kind of long-term infrastructure investment that will pay back for decades, just as the interstate highway system of the 1950s has. "This is a down payment on a truly national program," said Biden, who has logged more than 7,900 round trips...
Over the past five games, in which Harvard has taken down No. 5 Yale and No. 13 Union, improved performance has come on both ends of the ice. Offensively, the Crimson has notched at least three goals in its past five ECAC games. Defensively, the improvement is even more pronounced. Harvard has given up 1.6 goals per game in its last five ECAC contests compared to 3.9 goals per game for the rest of the ECAC season...
...written in the pain on Greg Hadley's face. The senior from Colgate University, a two-time all-conference linebacker on the school's football team, is sitting in a Bedford, Mass., laboratory, staring at shattered brains of dead football players. On this Friday afternoon, Hadley has come to visit Dr. Ann McKee, a Boston University neurological researcher who has received a dozen brains donated from former NFL, college and high school players. In each one, it's simple to spot a protein called tau, which defines a debilitating disease known as chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE. Common symptoms...
...Night Lights) and Hollywood blockbusters (The Blind Side). The NFL's players and owners and the myriad industries associated with the game - fanzines, websites, merchandisers, fantasy leagues - have all been beneficiaries of the tens of billions of dollars the sport generates. But it is irrefutable that those profits have come at the expense of the long-term mental health of those who play football. And perhaps more important, the young people emulating the actions of their NFL heroes are putting their futures on the line as well. "We need to do something now, this minute," says McKee, the brain researcher...
...challenge has come not from privatization - but in the form of public charter schools, in which individual entrepreneurs are chartered by states to create their own schools, according to their own visions. Not surprisingly, those visions usually don't include the workplace straitjacket that comes with unionization. The successful charters usually have longer school days and years, more intense efforts to guide student behavior, more creative or theme-oriented curriculums and more aggressive evaluation of teachers. Not all these schools work. Indeed, it can be argued that most states have been too slow to close down those that...
