...partners made a deal not to enumerate the "carrots"? and "sticks" before a European delegation presents them privately to Iranian leaders.? But they are known to include the enticement of a light water power reactor - whose radioactive fuel is hard to convert to use in a bomb - and the specter of? punishments ranging from? bank account freezes and travel bans to a full-scale economic embargo...
Organic-yogurt sales are limited only by the growth in organic-milk production, which is climbing 20% to 30% annually. "It's the 10,000-lb. cow in my life," says Hirshberg. To find enough organic milk, Stonyfield Farm subsidizes farmers as they convert to organic production and offers price guarantees on the milk it buys. "Conventional-milk pricing has fallen to levels not seen since the 1970s," says Hirshberg. "It's a disastrous situation for farmers with a cost structure based on 2006 energy costs." The only silver lining, he says, is that it has helped some dairy farmers...
...fathom anyone in their right mind saying they wanted to drink sewage," he says. "But drinking highly treated water is a completely different kettle of fish."

Although many previously homeless student groups are certainly satisfied to have space at all, several questionable assignments may leave you scratching your head. For example, the only Native American ethnic organization on campus, the Native Americans at Harvard College, requested an office...
...everything from a nursing home, to a meth lab, and finally Heaven. The production was a feat of stagecraft. Though “Maude and Harold” billed itself as an “on ice” production, the show’s producers opted not to convert the Adams Pool into a hockey rink. Instead, the performers wore rollerblades and, with the assistance of Anna E. Pasternak’s ’07 inspired choreography, delivered a reasonable simulacrum of ice dancing. The performers’ unsteady, and sometimes downright clumsy, skating resulted in several Chaplin...
