...regarded by diplomats in Western capitals as a moderate. The two spoke at the country's main nuclear complex Natanz, in central Iran, and Larijani said Iran had begun injecting gas into centrifuges. Perhaps deliberately vague, neither official specified whether Tehran was running gas in the pilot plant at Natanz or a more expansive plant containing at least 3,000 centrifuges. The head of Iran's atomic energy organization, Reza Aghazadeh, added to the confusion on Tuesday, claiming that Iran planned to install 50,000 centrifuges in an interview with the semi-official ISNA new agency. Western experts are concerned...
...Some 20-30% of plant and animal species are at risk of extinction if global temperatures rise in line with median projections, while by 2080, many millions of people living along coastlines will face an annual flood risk. As Camille Parmesan, a professor of integrative biology at the University of Texas, put it, "We're going into a realm the world has not seen for a very long time...
...soothe Paris' war wounded as a masseur and found fans with his home-brewed treatment oils. Named for a character he portrayed in a high school play (he took the name as his own in the 1970s to celebrate his success), the family-owned company helped popularize therapeutic, plant-based skin-care products and grew to include salons around the world...
...hardly alone. There was also inane councilwoman Gale Brewer proclaiming victory over the terrible jobs Wal-Mart might bring to her Upper West Side district, so overrun with economic development that she can apparently turn companies away. Perhaps she's waiting for a Toyota plant. Brewer helps run a city where rookie cops earn $25,000 a year. On an hourly basis, that's barely above what Wal-Mart is paying in its Secaucus, N.J., store. Maybe the cops can get a second job to make ends meet, since they can't afford to live in the city they protect...
Even if researchers master the mechanics of sequestration, they must still develop a way to separate CO2 from power-plant exhaust so that there will be something to stash in the cavities in the first place. There are two promising methods. One is to gasify coal before it's burned, reducing it to a high-pressure synthetic gas that can be stripped of its carbon, leaving mostly hydrogen behind. The alternative is to pulverize coal as power-plant operators do now but then rely on new hardware to separate the CO2 after burning. Both methods are at least 20 years...
