Ubert saw one of those key hits in the top of the sixth in the form of a bases-loaded triple to put Yale...
...violence against women--and not images--that prevents women from taking control of their own bodies. It is real, material oppression of women within the law, within our economy, within our social customs that is the issue. Images represent the form, and not the substance, of such oppression, and to pretend that the problem can be solved by violating others' rights of free expression and privacy is an irresponsible and dangerous argument...
...caribou, but they depend more heavily on the sea, where captains like Isaac Akootchook go out in 18-ft. boats after seal and bowhead whale. The Inupiat (as they prefer to be called), who chose to participate in the 1971 claims settlement, have benefited from oil revenues in the form of a school, a community center and other projects. "We feel caught in the middle," says Akootchook. "We don't like exploration, but if we oppose it and they impose it anyway, we get nothing...
...great national laboratories; it was the work of a pair of chemists operating on a shoestring budget and using little more than a test tube, a pencil-thin strip of metal and a car battery. Even more incredible was the assertion that this humble apparatus, fueled with a form of hydrogen found in ordinary seawater, had generated four times as much energy as it consumed. Could this be a new and virtually limitless source of cheap, clean power...
Nuclear fusion, the process that fires the sun, usually occurs when two atoms are squeezed together at very high temperatures to make one new atom. For example, two atoms of deuterium -- an isotope of hydrogen -- can be fused to form a helium atom and a neutron, releasing a sizable burst of energy. But before that can occur, deuterium nuclei generally need to be compressed with sufficient force to overcome their mutually repellent electrical charges. In H-bombs, that force is supplied by the detonation of an A-bomb. Conventional fusion techniques require giant magnets, powerful laser beams and particle accelerators...
