...town reared up in horror. Police, state troopers, FBI agents and thousands of volunteers fanned out through the 515-sq.-mi. county, searching for the car, the kids, any clue at all. Helicopters with heat-seeking devices combed through the Uwharrie National Forest after someone reported hearing a child crying in the forest...
...modest-size systems can produce power for as little as 4 cents per KW-H, cheaper than the polluting gas and diesel generators Tennant Creek now relies on. In California's Mojave Desert, Pacific Gas and Electric uses a solar-thermal technology that employs mirrors to focus sunlight and heat liquids moving through pipes in long troughs. This array produces large amounts of electricity -- nearly 200 times as much as the Tennant Creek system -- for an estimated 8.5 cents to 14 cents per KW-H. That is at least double the cost of coal power, but solar proponents argue that...
Meanwhile, soybean growers in Mississippi, relative newcomers to the bean culture, experimented with Northern plant varieties requiring less growing time and thus less exposure to the worst summer heat. The plants took hold like natives, and there too it was apparent that as the weather smiled, the yields mounted. The soybean experts in the Midwest tinkered with denser plantings, reducing the distance between rows by as much as 30 inches to cut down on the herbicides necessary to kill the weeds. That worked beautifully, as the profusion of bean plants popped out quickly and sheltered the ground around them, crowding...

North can also thank the independent candidacy of Marshall Coleman, a Republican opposed to him who received 17% in the latest poll. Coleman has been siphoning support that would have gone to Robb...
