...Victory: It is safe to say that Bemidji State’s in-conference competition—the other five schools in College Hockey America—come nowhere near the caliber of Denver. Should the Pioneers score early or mount a quick, aggressive offensive attack, there’s a strong chance that the Beavers will suffer the same fate they have all year long at the hands of Midwestern powerhouses: high-scoring losses...
...percent of Americans are opposed to drilling in ANWR—who are opposed to putting a price tag on nature. There is not a price per kilowatt-hour at which Old Faithful should be converted into a geothermal energy plant. There is no price for stone at which Mount Rushmore should be quarried. There is no price for exotic animals at which the government should export bald eagles.

Rest huts along the way sell noodles and will rent you a lumpy futon for a quick nap. There are also vending machines selling beer...
...Mount Kinabalu, Malaysia, 4,101 m Southeast Asia's highest mountain gets its name from Aki Nabalu ("Mountain of the Dead")?the term used by the local Kadazan people, who believe their ancestors inhabit its highest peaks. Start the trek early from Kinabalu Park HQ, and you can make your overnight stop at the guesthouse at Laban Rata (3,300 m) in time for dinner. Most climbers rise around 3 a.m. the next day to start the final assault on the summit, Low's Peak, and catch the sunrise. Guides can help you identify the unique mountain flora?like...
