...ECAC, with Harbec tallying 67 points this season and Chu right behind her with 66. Besides the nearly identical point totals, the two share striking similarities when it comes to their styles of play. Standing at about 5’8”, both use a lethal combination of size and speed to present an imposing presence on the ice. They are the catalysts for their respective teams, acting almost like point guards in the way that they manage their offenses. While each can certainly put the puck in the net on her own, the duo’s biggest...
...depends on the choices we make back home. If we want to defeat an enemy that gains strength from oil revenue, then we need a more aggressive approach to ending our dependence on petroleum. On the individual level, this means becoming smarter consumers who prioritize fuel efficiency over engine size in buying cars, and who take advantage of public transportation.

It's been 10 years since we've increased the minimum wage, and I want to get this increase to the beneficiaries. I'm convinced we'll get it done within the next two weeks...
...organic products once a week, up from 17% in 2000. But for food purists, "local" is the new "organic," the new ideal that promises healthier bodies and a healthier planet. Many chefs, food writers and politically minded eaters are outraged that "Big Organic" firms now use the same industrial-size farming and long-distance-shipping methods as conventional agribusiness. "Should I assume that I have a God-given right to access the entire earth's bounty, however far away some of its produce is grown?" asks ethnobotanist Gary Paul Nabhan in his 2002 memoir, Coming Home to Eat: The Pleasures...
