...which in past elections translated into big, double-digit winning margins, has vaporized. The latest poll, released Sept. 18 by Democratic challenger Suzanne Kosmas, a well-financed, term-limited state legislator and businesswoman from New Smyrna Beach, showed Feeney only one percentage point ahead of Kosmas, a statistical dead heat. For the first time, Feeney lost the endorsement of his hometown newspaper, the Orlando Sentinel, which noted on October 12 that Feeney's power has waned, his "hard-right ideology" [on issues like immigration reform, energy policy and the bailout bill, which he voted against twice] would make him irrelevant...
...received many an accolade from chronic dry-eye sufferers and is also recommended for people who suffer eye discomfort from contact lenses, LASIK surgery and air travel - as well as migraines, allergies and aging. This is a bewildering production involving goggles, hot and cold moisture pads and heat-producing "ThermoEye" gel packs - all meant to create an invigorating yet ailment-easing atmosphere. After peeling off my contacts, I tried the heat therapy using the gel packs - which was like a sauna for my peeps - for 45 minutes. Verdict: Ahhh! Price: from...
While the impact of climate change on human populations is likely to be dire, we're pretty good at adapting to change overall. Animals, however, are not. When their habitats change irrevocably - when the rain forest dries up or cool mountains in tropical zones heat up - animals may simply go extinct. A recent study in Science demonstrates how that can happen. Robert Colwell, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Connecticut, analyzed data from nearly 2,000 species of plants, insects and fungi in the tropics, where organisms often lack the ability to escape warming temperatures by going north...
...refuse. I have planted some 300 trees. I've replaced all my light bulbs with energy-saving bulbs. I conserve water and electricity by boiling the kettle only three times a day, keeping the hot water in a vacuum flask. I turn the hot-water heater on only to heat water for a shower. In doing all this, I tell myself I am helping to solve the world's environmental problems. But this will never be enough so long as overpopulation continues. While I say bravo to all your environmental heroes, I know that unless they are helping to stem...
...That's about the last thing the McCain campaign needs to hear right now. Florida, run by a Republican Governor and legislature, was supposed to be the Arizona senator's to lose. But while polls through September showed him and Obama in a dead heat, Obama seems to be pulling away as the nation's economic crisis worsens. Four polls released last week show Obama not only leading -one, by Quinnipiac University, has him up by as much as eight points - but breaking the 50% barrier for the first time...
