...going to tell you something I probably shouldn't: we may not be able to stop global warming. The Arctic Ocean, which experienced record melting last year, could be ice-free in the summer as soon as 2013, decades ahead of what the earlier models told us. We need to begin curbing global greenhouse emissions right now, but more than a decade after the signing of the Kyoto Protocol, the world has utterly failed...
Mulholland backs that conclusion. Our inland waterways can barely handle the nitrogen fertilizer we're already using in order to grow record yields of corn and other crops. Truly ramping up biofuel production - unless it can be done in a way that uses much less fertilizer, perhaps with experimental techniques that harness plant waste matter instead of food crops - might overwhelm that system. "We have to be very careful about biofuels in terms of what kind of crops we grow and where we grow them," says Mulholland. "The great expansion of corn could be a real problem." It would...
...translate into a team victory. Still, Rathgeber enjoyed the best of both worlds in 2008, sharing the award while contributing phenomenally to the team’s success. Along with freshman Jordan Diekema, junior Bill Jones, and senior Pat Quinn, Rathgeber set a pool, meet, and EISL record in the 400-medley relay, taking first place in a scorching 3:13:34. The same group would make an NCAA “B” cut en route to claiming the 200-medley relay as well. This 400-medley would not be the only record-setting relay, though, as Quinn...
...prevent him from completing the New York City Marathon in 1999). When the Columbia University and Hofstra Law School graduate became the State Senate's minority leader in 2002, it marked the first time an African American assumed that position. As governor, Paterson will add to his groundbreaking record by becoming the state's first black chief executive, and just the fourth in the nation's history - as well as the first blind person to attain the office...
...Michigan, which is in the same boat. But in Michigan, only Clinton was on the ballot - which adds a more pressing factor of fairness into its attempt at a revote. In the Sunshine State, both candidates were on the Florida ballot for a "non-primary" that drew a record number of Democrats to the polls. Clinton defeated Obama, and by party rules would take a percentage of the state delegates. Though a revote may likely change that number only slightly, ignoring even the possibility of a tiny change would be politically fraught in this season when every delegate counts...
