...lights went on at Xtreme Power with half a dozen employees and a vision to make wind power an easier sell. One of the big stumbling blocks in persuading utilities to buy wind is its unpredictability. The wind blows, and then it stops, while utilities' customers demand a constant flow of power. Xtreme's solution: a shipping-container-size power-management system that takes in energy from wind farms, stores it and then smoothly releases an uninterrupted supply of it out the other...
Some entirely new observations have been recorded as well. In its 2007 report, the IPCC did not include the impact of Greenland's or Antarctica's melting glaciers in its estimate of future sea-level rise, saying it lacked sufficient data. But now the speed-up of flow from these glaciers has been documented. And while the IPCC noted in 2007 that every continent had warmed throughout the 20th century except Antarctica, that continent has now been shown to be warming as well - very likely due to man-made influences, says Hegerl.

...pumping mothers may be protected, he says, since the pump simulates a baby's suck and stimulates the flow of milk. Still, since lactation has a lot to do with the mother's direct hormonal response to her child, for some women, Gallup says, pumps may not be as efficient as the real thing. "When you just have a relationship with a pump instead of with a baby, the milk supply can dwindle because the mother may not be secreting the hormone oxytocin that aids in a mother's milk letdown," he says. For those mothers, he suggests staying near...
However, respecting China’s censorship laws does not entail agreeing with them; it simply entails an understanding that China is facing tough challenges as it develops in an era of lightning-fast information flow and is dealing with them through the only means it knows how. I fully support Secretary Clinton’s crusade for greater Internet freedom in countries like China, but I would like to see the process carried out in a more sensitive, less accusatory tone. I admit that it is hard to be neutral when human rights are involved, but employing the rhetoric...
With tracks meant to fit coherently and easily into the larger constitution of an improved TL/Rx, “Bricks” too easily shows its cracks. The album purports to flow as seamlessly as the textured Brutalist buildings of the postwar era. But while its foundations remain solid, upon closer examination, “Bricks” is more often a revelation of the band’s disjointed endeavor to fuse old with...
