...athlete to flip-flop on bidding farewell to his game. Pitcher Roger Clemens, the king of comebacks, has retired a total of three times. Lance Armstrong left cycling in 1996 to battle cancer and returned to win seven consecutive Tour de France titles. Other stars have re-emerged to save a struggling franchise, like Michael Jordan, who proclaimed his 1995 return to the Chicago Bulls after a failed bid at pro baseball with a two-word press release: "I'm back." The deathless Rocky franchise aside, the "sweet science" seems to specialize in sequels: Muhammad Ali re-entered the ring...
...different colleges - tactics Koch and other critics say is designed to suppress a large-scale market for used textbooks - many undergraduates are searching e-commerce and social-networking sites like Facebook for schoolmates who may be looking to sell the books they just finished using. And some try to save money by muddling through without any textbooks. For these cash-strapped students, says Nicole Allen, a consumer advocate at the U.S. Public Interest Research Group, Flat World's launch is a godsend: "It's a great sign that the market is finally changing...
...works, the Bronx initiative could serve as a blueprint for how the nation's health care community tackles HIV/AIDS - and save thousands of lives in the process.

New York's prospects for success may be brighter, partly because New York's health commissioner, Dr. Thomas Frieden, is one of the most effective...
...question is whether it will grow up. If Florida can reinvent itself, it can be the tip of the American spear, showing the nation how to save water and energy, manage growth, restore ecosystems and retool economies in an era of less. But that will require a new kind of reinvention. "We know how to crash and how to recover," says Miami historian Arva Moore Parks. "We don't seem to know how to learn...
...cheesy slogan: "all you have to do is dance to save the world." But Club4Climate's silly-sounding premise--that partygoers can groove their way to a greener planet--is based on real science. The environmental group, founded by British real estate mogul Andrew Charalambous, is set to open what is being touted as the world's first eco-club on July 10 in London. And as the dancers get pumped up, Club Surya will get powered up. Literally. The dance floor is designed to harness the energy of the people stomping on it based on a principle called piezoelectricity...
