...Illinois, along with Independent Bernie Sanders of Vermont, have proposed a bill known as the Justice Act, which would curb many of the sweeping powers of the Patriot Act. The bill would reauthorize the expiring Patriot Act provisions, but would add new limits: roving wiretaps could no longer target John Doe suspects and would require identification of the target. It would also leave in place the ability of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to compel document disclosure, but would limit that power to the records of people connected to terrorism or espionage.

...problem is that identifying those limits is a fuzzy science - and even trickier to translate into policy.

And by setting a boundary, it might make policymakers believe that we can pollute up to that limit and still be safe. That...
...games more fun. A dilemma is presented by the question of where this pregame should take place. Traditional pregame activities such as grilling absurd quantities of meat, throwing a football, or playing cornhole (a game similar in concept to horseshoes but played instead with bean bags and two large target boxes with holes.

For Harvard games though, due to a combination of cold weather and student lameness, the only real tailgating activities that occur outside the stadium will...
...emitter of greenhouse gases, Hu took a fateful step in announcing China would cut carbon dioxide emissions by 2020. Several of the measures that Hu unveiled will have a dramatic impact, such as making 15 percent of China’s fuel come from non-fossil sources by that target date, while planting enough trees to cover what the Los Angeles Times calculated to be the entire size of Norway...
