...Americans who still don't believe climate change is real, at least to some degree - now the question is what to do about it. And here again the We Campaign has the right message. Global warming won't be solved through small-scale changes in personal behavior - all the compact fluorescent lightbulbs in the world wouldn't slow down warming a single degree. What's needed is political action on a national and international level to speed the adoption of renewable energy and the phasing out of fossil fuels - exactly what the We ads, with their flowing wind turbines...
...wasn't quite that light two nights ago. On Sunday, Cejudo couldn't keep his eyes closed. "If I can't sleep, I'll drink a whole gallon of water," he says. The problem: that imbibing bloated him like a balloon. He added 10 lbs. onto his chiseled, compact frame.

Schnabel, who died in 1951, was an unlikely cult hero. Physically, he was unprepossessing: a short...
...Here soldiers discovered compact discs and files relating to JI operations, including a JI spreadsheet carefully documenting the expenditure of €40,000 on food, motor boats and vans, and even cell-phone cards. "I think it was Umar Patek who was doing the group's accounts," says Sabban. ICG terror expert Collier thinks Patek is more than just a terrorist bean counter. "He commands Abu Sayyaf Group forces and he can be seen as an ASG commander in his own right," Collier says, "as well as a JI freelancer. Dulmatin and Patek are both still in communication with allies...
