But you can't argue with results - emissions of SO2 and NO have dropped drastically, as has acid rain. Emissions trading worked because by pricing the air, it helps drive innovation towards pollution control and efficiency, funded in part by the value of the emissions trading market. (Companies that spent to lower their emissions beneath the cap could recoup that investment by selling their excess emissions credits.) Just...
...heart and desire of all the players are the same if not more here, but it’s based on pride here and not a business aspect, which is refreshing.”Added Mazza, “It’s in a more pure form, I think.”The ability to play the sport they love, without it occupying the top slot in their life priorities is something new and different for the three Harvard grads.

Iron Genes A gene that causes a rare form of hereditary iron deficiency may help researchers understand iron deficiency that cannot be treated by iron supplements, according to a study by researchers at Harvard-affiliated Children’s Hospital in Boston...
...tightly coupled machine-insect interfaces by placing micro-mechanical systems inside the insects during the early stages of metamorphosis," DARPA says. "Since a majority of the tissue development in insects occurs in the later stages of metamorphosis, the renewed tissue growth around the MEMS will tend to heal, and form a reliable and stable tissue-machine interface." Such bugs "could carry one or more sensors, such as a microphone or a gas sensor, to relay back information gathered from the target destination...
