What could threaten such an innocent-looking girl? A past lover? A crazed suitor? A malicious rumor? Speaking of which, she seems to bear a passing resemblance to another slender brunette—I believe they call her “Blair?”And why, for that matter, do I even...
...energy portfolio. "I've seen a huge uptick in hospitals exploring and investigating" ways to reduce fossil-fuel dependence, says Nick DeDominicis of Practice Green Health, particularly since 2007 when World Health Organization and U.N. reports suggested that climate change due to fossil-fuel use and CO2 emissions could threaten public health.

And while Maine managed seven attempted shots in the second half, the Crimson defense was stingy in not allowing a goal scored on them. Harms once again had a phenomenal game, recording his sixth shutout...
...endurance of the GOP that both of these races were so close. Obama won double-digit victories in both states, and Coleman and Smith are both milquetoast pols who did much less than McCain ever did to distance themselves from the President until his low approval ratings began to threaten their re-elections. Smith was so desperate to distance himself from the GOP that he ran ads touting his cooperation with Obama. And now Coleman has a better-than-even chance of returning to Washington, where he will surely rediscover his old party identification. It's an uninspiring but potentially...
