...Stealing the ball 20 times, the Crimson continued to put pressure on the Otters, outscoring Cal State, 6-1, in the final two periods. As the Otters continued to look for opportunities to climb back, freshman goalkeeper Laurel McCarthy made three saves, extending her own record to a perfect 2-0.“We just had a factor,” Farrar said. “We figured out what they were trying to do and then locked down with our defense.” UC DAVIS 5, HARVARD 3Playing its second game of the day on Thursday...
Global warming may never get its perfect picture - Earth Hour, a globe gone dark, may be the closest thing we'll have. That's all right - at a time when a recent Gallup poll reports that a record-high 41% of Americans think global warming is exaggerated, green groups need to do everything they can to keep this issue on the front burner, here and in the rest of the world. "The take home message from Earth Hour should be that we are not alone," says Roberts. "I want people to go to the website, but after, I want them...
...that measured? It's based on the cost of a measure called the "quality-adjusted life year" [QALY]. A QALY scores your health on a scale from zero to one: zero if you're dead and one if you're in perfect health. You find out as a result of a treatment where a patient would move up the scale. If you do a hip replacement, the patient might start at .5 and go up to .7, improving by .2. You can assume patients live for an average of 15 years following hip replacements. And .2 times 15 equals three...
...good news is that today's nuclear industry is no longer dysfunctional. It's not perfect-an Ohio reactor nearly melted down in 2002, and the lead operator of a Florida plant recently quit after accusing his bosses of unsafe practices-but it has learned from its mistakes. Its reactors ran at a record 92% capacity last year. It's doing a better job of storing its radioactive waste at its plants. It has standardized designs for new reactors, which should enhance safety, and it has successfully lobbied to streamline its regulatory process, which should reduce delays...
...Stefan König of the Berlin Association of Lawyers says the case of the phantom Phantom illustrates the risks of basing an investigation solely on DNA evidence. "DNA analysis is a perfect tool for identifying traces," he says. "What we need to avoid is the assumption that the producer of the traces is automatically the culprit. Judges tend to be so blinded by the shiny, seemingly perfect evidence of DNA traces that they sometimes ignore the whole picture. DNA evidence on a crime scene says nothing about how it got there. There is good reason for not permitting convictions...
