Longtime sports journalist Peter Gammons recounted stories from his four decades of experience covering baseball and the Boston Red Sox, touching on topics ranging from journalistic ethics to steroids use at the First Church in Cambridge Congregational’s Lindsay Chapel last night...
William M. Polk, Cambridge Center for Adult Education president and Gammons’ close friend, opened the event by asking the 2004 Baseball Hall of Fame inductee about the 2010 prospects for the Sox...
...danger she was in. When the Boston Globe asked her why she held so few public events, she replied dismissively, "As opposed to standing outside Fenway Park?

...backbone of globalization, but they are also carbon hogs. Each year, about 100,000 ships contribute some 1.3 billion tons of CO2 to the atmosphere, about 3% of global carbon emissions. In addition, ships spew out huge amounts of traditional air pollutants, like nitrous oxides (NOx) and sulfur oxides (SOx), and emit black carbon soot, a leading contributor to melting Arctic ice. "It's an overlooked and important problem, but it's also extraterritorial," says Travis Bradford, the chief operating officer of the Carbon War Room, based in Washington, D.C.

...goal is first to raise awareness about the carbon problem within industries, then to publicize and spread the best solutions. In the case of shipping, the solution may be as simple as installing scrubbers - of the sort already used in planes and cars - that would vastly reduce emissions of SOx, NOx and black carbon. Older and more polluting ships will need to be replaced by models that are more efficient, and eventually carbon-based bunker fuels will need to be swapped out for low-carbon alternative fuels. The Carbon War Room is looking to start the process by compiling information...
