Over the next two years, a team of scientists will try to inject carbon dioxide--charged water into the basalt beneath the ground through boreholes drilled by a nearby geothermal energy plant. The CO2 will, in theory, react with the porous rock and form a stable mineral that could remain in the rock for millions of years. If they're right, Iceland could not only render itself carbon neutral but also give the world a means of protection from the effects of CO2 emissions until they can be reduced...
...lead into the break, then began the second period as it had the first, scoring the first six points on interior baskets from forwards John Baumann and Ben Nwachukwu to take a 32-point lead at 60-28.

...matched the total that then-captain Matt Stehle ’06 put up in Harvard’s win over the Blackbirds last season, and earned him Ivy League Player of the Week honors, as announced by the league office yesterday. Goffredo took advantage of a porous LIU defense to find his groove. Lacking the interior height to play Harvard senior center Brian Cusworth straight up—the tallest player in the Blackbirds’ rotation is 6’7—LIU committed its defensive resources to plugging the middle, routinely getting guards to shade towards...
...withdraws from Iraq, Riyadh will intervene to protect the Sunnis from the Shi'ites. In an Op-Ed in the Washington Post, he said the Saudis would probably supply the Sunni insurgency with money, arms and logistical support.
