...their part, more-radical environmental groups, including Greenpeace, withheld support from the Kerry-Boxer bill - as they did the House cap-and-trade bill - saying its carbon cuts were far too modest to save the climate. Scientifically, they're probably right - the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has said that developed nations like the U.S. need to cut carbon emissions 25% to 40% by 2020 to keep global warming within what is hoped are safe limits. Politically, however, that seems out of question for Congress. Which is why Obama's speech at the U.N. last week was an exercise...
...Huskies attacked with tenacity throughout the half, outshooting Harvard 14-1 and it paid off. Carolyn Malloy capitalized off of an initial save by Crimson freshman keeper Cynthia Tassapoulos by putting a rebound into the back of the net at the 15:12 mark...

According to a Democratic leadership aide in the House, the Congressional Budget Office, which determines the cost of legislation, has told Pelosi that the Medicare-pegged rates would lead to $110 billion in savings over 10 years, while negotiated rates would save only about $25 billion. Pelosi, who is trying to whittle the House bill down from its $1.1 trillion price tag closer to the $900 billion that both Baucus and Obama are targeting, is hoping to use these CBO estimates to convince Democrats...
