...environmental cost of this cropland creep is now becoming apparent. One groundbreaking new study in Science concluded that when this deforestation effect is taken into account, corn ethanol and soy biodiesel produce about twice the emissions of gasoline. Sugarcane ethanol is much cleaner, and biofuels created from waste products that don't gobble up land have real potential, but even cellulosic ethanol increases overall emissions when its plant source is grown on good cropland. "People don't want to believe renewable fuels could be bad," says the lead author, Tim Searchinger, a Princeton scholar and former Environmental Defense attorney...
...just a little too unrealistic to float. The blanket solution of more than a few programs has been to hire a solid anchor in the form of an excellent lead actor—preferably one who’s had some face time on HBO. Did Michael C. Hall creep you out more than a little on “Six Feet Under”? He’ll do that role one better as the titular serial killer on “Dexter.” Loved Mary-Louise Parker’s nervy energy...
...guest list. Invite some of the popular people that everyone else can't help but like (Paul McCartney, Kylie Minogue); Add some folks who are quirky enough to amuse but not so bizarre they creep people out (Amy Winehouse, Gossip's Beth Ditto); and then toss in a few of the too-cool-to-care crowd to sit in a corner, get drunk and mock the whole affair (Arctic Monkeys...
...think today people were thinking from the get-go that we could win this game outright instead of having to build a comeback.”Harvard amassed a 10-point lead with 7:35 to go, but costly turnovers and domination on the boards allowed Cornell to creep back in. Collectively, the Big Red pulled down 35 boards, including nine offensive rebounds. Tyler, shooting 9-of-11 from the floor, achieved a double double with 19 points and 10 boards. The Crimson paled in comparison, as no one achieved double digits in rebounds. As a team, Harvard could only...
...proof that the rebound will persist or that Thatcherism is a success. Although the Prime Minister is convinced that Britain is on the motorway to recovery, many economic experts have doubts. Even official Treasury projections indicate that growth will slow again, un employment will rise and inflation will creep upward over the next twelve to 18 months. Most of the government's economists are bracing for a jump in joblessness to 3.3 million by this fall. Nonetheless, the Prime Minister is unlikely to resort to Keynesian pump priming even if her policies remain slow to work...
