...Saying "we need to be open minded and forward looking enough to at least examine" the nuclear question, Prime Minister John Howard last week asked a panel of experts to do just that. But the Labor Party and most environmental groups insist the only right answer on nuclear is no. "No nuclear power in Australia. That's our position," said Opposition Leader Kim Beazley, who wants more effort put into solar, wind and clean-coal technologies. With the debate set to generate a lot more heat before it's over, here's a brief look at the issues that fuel...
...power say no power source is as clean as wind, sun and tides, and that these should be the focus of energy planning. Nuclear advocates point out that reactors are compact and don't require damming rivers or defacing rural landscapes. For the same output, they say, a solar panel array or wind farm would need 200-500 times as much land as an average coal or nuclear plant. Also, because wind-farm and solar outputs fluctuate, they must be backed up by coal, hydro or nuclear power...
Also important is placement. On the basis of his own research and existing studies of how people read, Rapp says the most valuable real estate on a two-panel menu (one that opens like a magazine) is the upper-right-hand corner. That area, he says, should be reserved for more profitable dishes since it is the best place to catch--and retain--the reader's gaze...

Look down and the lower panel reflects the sky. Up, earth; down, sky. His Cartier Foundation in Paris is a glass-walled structure with a freestanding glass wall situated a few yards in front of it. The effect is to create multiple veils...
...nascent movement to the presidential primaries: ?No one wants to skip Iowa.? Yet the politicians especially seem to be figuring it out as they go along - fear of missing the boat outweighs doubt about its final destination. Clark gives his speech on American innovation to a well-attended science panel flanked by bloggers whose name recognition is high in this room and nowhere else. One of them is wearing a colorful, flowered hat. Clark's handler leans over: ?Ten days ago, he had a street named after him in Kosovo, today he?s on a science panel with...
