...Further, while Statham and his rivals could kill only one another, the drivers in Death Race 2000 can run up the score by knocking off pedestrians: 40 points for a teenager, 100 for anyone over 70. Frankenstein, whose lizard-green car sports fangs from its grille, is considered the good guy because, when he drives up to an old folks' home, he leaves the seniors alone and kills only a half-dozen doctors and nurses. In fact, Frank harbors his own insurrectionist tendencies. He's got an explosive embedded in his palm (it's not called a hand grenade...
...world for the foreseeable future, you know that we'll need engineers, scientists and even politicians versed in sustainability. That means American colleges need to educate and churn out graduates with the skills for a new energy economy. But while U.S. schools have done well in greening their campuses - rare is the day that passes without a college announcing a new green building or program for energy efficiency - colleges are lacking when it comes to sustainable education. The report gave U.S. universities an overall C- on sustainability education, down from a C grade in NWF's last report...

The center provides both interdisciplinary environmental studies, and helps plan the greening of the university. Then there's the College of the Atlantic in Bar Harbor, Maine, which offers just one major: human ecology...
...rain-delayed final was played under a steady drizzle. China took an early lead, but the Americans pushed ahead from a 17-17 tie to take the first set 21-18. The stadium distributed free plastic ponchos in pastel green, yellow, blue and pink that left the fans looking like soggy gumdrops. The rain fell harder in the second set. The players shrugged off the conditions. "It's harder being a fan than a player," May-Treanor said later of the rain. "This is another reason we play in swimsuits...
