...logged an average weight loss of just 3.9 lb., with only 11% of them reaching the 16-lb. goal. As for the payouts? The winning lottery players walked away with an average of $272.80. The most successful members of the deposit group pocketed a cool $378.49, on average. The final group, of course, got skunked...
That being said, the Poznan summit is only a waypoint on the road to negotiating a new Kyoto Protocol; it's not the final event. Kyoto, which mandated greenhouse-gas reductions for developed nations (except the U.S., which never ratified the treaty), will expire in 2012.

He also chipped in seven assists, five boards, three blocks, and two steals in an all-around solid performance that seems to have become typical this season. Northeastern’s top guard, junior Matt Channing, was able to notch 21 points despite shooting only 38-percent from the field.
