...sadly experienced déjà vu [March 17]. As a food technologist, I daily receive disquieting information on availability and rising prices. Several companies I deal with are becoming desperate as stocks of flax and corn, to name but two examples, are virtually extinct. You were certainly correct to cite biofuels and bad harvests as the key reasons for this scarcity. Several of our suppliers readily admit they have sold their stocks of sugar, corn and rapeseed to biofuel manufacturers simply because they can make a lot more money that way. I wish you had cited the declaration...
...even if he were correct, there isn’t much here for the well-meaning environmentalist. Jensen has nothing good to say about the ideals of the moderate green movement, of which Saskatoon can boast a strong contingent. The city, home to a large public university, is chock-full of organic-buying, bottle-recycling, hip-dressing young activists (alongside the more conservative SUV-drivers). Many of them are engaged in projects that focus on empowering individuals to make small green changes in their lives—the Saskatchewan Environmental Society, for example, provides homeowners with information about pesticide alternatives...
...divest myself of my critical ideals before I go to the classroom,” Bhabha said. “The research ideal doesn’t cramp me, it allows me to translate.” Another issue Kronman addressed is the increasing need to be politically correct, imposing limitations on both students and professors in the humanities.

...needed to do," says global strategy head Gass. That courage was on full display on Feb. 26, when Starbucks closed all 7,100 of its company-owned U.S. stores (4,000 licensed locations remained open) for three hours to retrain 135,000 baristas. Part of the training involved the correct way to pull an espresso: into a shot glass, not a paper cup, a shortcut that had evolved to move the line more quickly. It was a strong statement that Starbucks cares about quality--with a clear shot glass, a barista can make sure the espresso correctly settles into three...
...adventure he craves, her stories sparking what he calls a "buzzing in my groin." She speaks of her tough upbringing in Belgrade with her one-eyed father, a decorated communist hero who cut off the fingers of several Croats. She becomes the counterpoint to everything middle-class and politically correct, comparing Albanians to apes and taunting Chris with accounts of her sexual exploits. He breathes in every detail as fodder for his fantasies. "I only wanted to sleep with her, really, but when you're fascinated by a woman you'll settle for her stories," he says. Roza, in turn...
