...lead back to five, and after Tigers guard Marchus Schroeder blew a chance at a layup, Goffredo pulled up on the other end to nail a jumper. The shot made it 40-33 with 2:13 to play, effectively finishing a Princeton team that had clearly run out of gas on both ends of the floor. “All the shooting stuff doesn’t really mean anything when you get the win,” said Goffredo, who has suffered through an extremely difficult year shooting the basketball. “It was nice to hit that...
...reports, and the current one presented the strongest conclusions yet: one, that global warming is real, and two, that it’s very likely (90 percent) that human activity is the cause. Moreover, even under the most realistically stringent pollution controls worldwide, the IPCC projects that the greenhouse gas emissions will continue to warm the earth for another century. And warmer temperatures will mean all sorts of climate changes, particularly more extreme weather events and a higher sea level...
...stopping our greenhouse-gas spitting is a task that will require not only political will but also personal sacrifice. Not everyone is so thrilled with CFLs: many give off a harsher, bluish light, and, in my experience, they take longer to fully brighten than standard bulbs. The only reason they’re starting to catch on is that they actually save consumers money in the long-term. By using the new bulbs, the average California household saves $40 per year in decreased electricity costs, according to the California Energy Commission...
...humiliation in Chechnya than America could ever suffer in Iraq, and faces anti-Russian democratic “revolutions” in the Ukraine and Georgia that further humiliated the motherland. Yet Russian economic nationalism is more intense than ever, and, because of economic power from oil and natural gas, its ability to dominate its neighbors is growing, not diminishing. Last January, economically vulnerable Ukraine was threatened with a quadrupling of the natural gas price that Russia had been charging—revenge for attempting to escape Russia’s sphere of influence...
...Similarly, Russia threatened an economically unstable Poland with de-stabilizing price hikes in the natural gas market. Poland’s neighbor and supposed European Union (EU) ally, Germany, hardly came to its rescue. Gerard Schroeder, then Germany’s chancellor, seemingly so idealistic in his opposition to the Iraq War and his shunning of George Bush, cultivated a close friendship with Vladimir Putin, Russia’s president. He never criticized Russia’s brutal suppression of Chechnya and even negotiated an agreement between Russia and Germany to build a natural gas pipeline that punitively bypasses Poland?...
