...also using increasingly tough language in condemning faith-based terror. On Monday, after attacks on churches and mosques in Iraq and Nigeria, Benedict told a crowd in St. Peter's Square: "God, the creator and father of all, will call to account even more severely those who spill the blood of their brother in His name." Like his predecessor, the preacher's message is clear. Only this time, one wonders if it will ever reach beyond the choir...
...without medals, Japanese newspapers were showing little confidence in the nation's winter athletes. Articles on Arakawa's medal chase battled for prime space in the sports pages with stories on baseball spring training. None of that, however, seemed to bother Arakawa during her free skate. After Cohen's spill-filled routine dashed the American's hopes for gold, the elegant Japanese scored five clean triples and a signature back-bend to notch a personal-best score of 125.32 in the long program. Slutskaya, who skated last, was no match and came in third behind Cohen. "One gold is worth...

Most occurred in pipes that are supposed to safely dispose of waste but on some occasions leaked tritium into the ground water. One spill, in 1998 at the company's Braidwood generating plant, dumped some 3 million gallons of water that was still in the ground eight...
...These [leaks] are at levels of radioactivity that you may be exposed to by simply walking the face of the earth," said Exelon spokesman Craig Nesbit, who added that the company welcomes any federal or state inspections. "But the 1998 spill was, clearly, improperly handled and it was a large wakeup call and kicked us into gear. Our sensitivity to the environmental effects of what we do and our sensitivity to the public's need to know, and right away, has evolved tremendously over the last couple of months...
