...begins to release the carbon it absorbed, and logging and burning only accelerate that process. So scientists are thinking bigger thoughts: Is it possible to increase the oceans' capacity to absorb carbon--without making the water so acidic it dissolves corals? Is it possible to scrub the atmosphere itself somehow, extracting CO2 the way a filter cleans the air in a home? Macroengineering like this is a fun thing for scientists to dream about, but it usually does not go much further, the scale and risks being simply too great. But that hasn't stopped big ideas from coming--which...

...runoff - as a creeping military coup. The army, police and government-sponsored militias have fanned out across the country, killing, beating and displacing opposition supporters, wresting control of the media, electoral bodies and the judiciary and refusing to cede power even if the second vote were to somehow go against Mugabe...

But nothing seems to motivate the Turks more than getting behind, as they demonstrated in clawback wins against both Switzerland and, sensationally, the Czech Republic. The Croats had barely pulled themselves off of their victory pile when Semih Senturk somehow responded at 121:46 (the latest ever goal in the tournament's history) with an unstoppable smash off a long kick from Rustu that somehow ended up on his foot. It's a wonder that volatile Turkish coach Fatih Terhim's head didn't explode. The Croats, unnerved, were a disaster...

...main question is whether or not we really "stamp in" important events just by making them emotionally charged, whether we lay down the memories in a form that's somehow stronger. It could be that they're simply more accessible, that there are more "hooks" into the memory that make it easier to retrieve...
