...Cornell is very quick athletic team. They put a couple shots away, kept possession, and stalled.” Cornell was the first to get on the scoreboard, as seven minutes into the first half Big Red senior Noelle Dowd found the back of the net.

To produce the same kilowatt-hour of power, a natural gas plant still releases approximately twice the net CO2 of a photovoltaic plant, three times more than hydroelectric plants, and 14 times more than wind farms.

Symbolically and realistically, coal goes against the very meaning of green energy...

Surely, you could get more...
...tastemakers and employees acted as a conduit between fans and artists. “I think it’s really depressing that record stores are disappearing, just because I love being in them. It’s not like sitting at your computer and surfing on the net for something that someone recommended—it’s not the same as shuffling through a pile of discs and finding something you think is cool and asking the clerk,” she said.Flanagan is equally frustrated, but feels a sense of hope. He feels that the record...
