...Amaker said. “We needed that. He had played as well as we wanted him to play up to this point, but I think tonight could be a really strong, positive step forward for him to do some positive things for us.” THREE-PEAT For the third year in a row, a nail-biter between these two teams ended with a double-digit victory margin. Two years ago, Harvard held a 51-49 lead on the road with less than four minutes to play before pulling away for a 70-55 victory. Last year...
Dumping has also been valuable for Tennessee's Bouldin Corp. In 2003 the firm began taking Warren County garbage and converting it to what Bouldin calls "fluff." That's household trash ground up, with the metals removed, and heated so it's inert. Fluff is used as a peat substitute. Bouldin's new landfill project is expected to swing to profitability after it launches its first durable products next year: landscape timber and building blocks made from trash. "A few years down the line, we'll wonder why we ever put this stuff in the ground," says marketing manager Terry...
...wetlands study darkened the picture further. Marshes in Alaska and northern Canada are natural sinks for mercury, which chemically adheres to damp peat and readily converts to the methyl form. That is not a problem as long as the mercury stays put. But increasingly frequent droughts--a likely consequence of global warming--have led to increasingly frequent wildfires, causing wetlands to release centuries' worth of collected mercury in one toxic breath. "There's mercury that's been accumulating since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution," says ecosystems ecologist Merritt Turetsky of Michigan State University, who has been studying the problem...
...face it - with his robotic efficiency and off-court drone, he put us to sleep. The Detroit Pistons, 2004 champs and last year's runners-up, played rough, unselfish basketball, but they are more admired than beloved. And then there were those Los Angeles Lakers, three-peat winners from 2000-2002. First, they won too much - nobody likes a ball hog. Then, the whole Shaquille O'Neal/Kobe Bryant soap opera wore us out. Shaq says Kobe is selfish. Kobe says Shaq is fat. Let's watch Gilmore Girls instead...
...four years. Fellow Ancient Eight team Princeton fell to Minnesota on Friday night, 4-0, in a game marred by a rare brawl with 38 seconds left. The win allows the Golden Gophers to advance to its first straight Frozen Four and keeps their bid for a three-peat alive. On Saturday, ECAC regular-season champ St. Lawrence prevailed over Minnesota-Duluth, 1-0, in a goaltending duel. Later that night, Wisconsin held off upstart Mercyhurst by a 2-1 count in double overtime. The results mean that the all of the host teams, representing the consensus top four teams...
