Wind-power estimates have been made before, but the PNAS team drilled them down to greater detail. Using a simulation of global wind fields from NASA's Goddard Earth Observing System Data Assimilation System - a network of complex computer systems used to simulate and predict meteorology - McElroy and his colleagues could map the distribution of wind resources around the globe, then calculate how much electricity could be produced by tapping those breezes with current turbines, which can generate about 2.5 megawatts on land, and larger turbines that can generate 3.6 megawatts offshore. (Offshore winds tend to be stronger and more...
...President. "You're pitching. I'm catching," Obama said to Tapper after he compared Obama's thinking to that of a Vulcan. "The reference to Spock - is that a crack on my ears?" Tapper assured him it was not. When Bloomberg's Hans Nichols asked the President to predict the peak of the unemployment rate, the President smiled again, as if he was dodging a bad pass.

...bedrooms. Privately, people enjoy relative sexual freedom - subject, for the most part, to limits set by parents, not the Communist Party. But public crackdowns on pornography and sex-related events are common, as this month's anti-porn Internet-censorship measures have proven, and they are notoriously hard to predict. At mainland China's first gay-pride festival in Shanghai last week, officials shut down two film screenings and a performance of The Laramie Project, an American play about the murder of a gay college student. The "hot body" competition and drag shows, meanwhile, proceeded as planned. In May, plans...
...impossible for an outsider, in Iran for 10 days, to sift through the governmental opacity, the contradictory demonstrations, and predict what comes next. It seems likely that no matter how many people flood the streets in protest, the Supreme Leader will continue to back Ahmadinejad. It also seems likely that while Barack Obama should continue to press for negotiations, he shouldn't be too optimistic about the prospect of success...
