...failure. Since 1983, the Crimson has won 17 Ivy League championships and has never encountered back-to-back losing seasons. In 2008, however, Harvard had its second consecutive losing campaign in the Ancient Eight and went winless in its non-conference schedule. Although the Crimson did not have the type of final standing it had hoped for, the team became more competitive at the end of the year. The squad’s Ivy League record could have easily been 5-2 instead of 2-5 since three of its defeats came by a single point. “Overall...
...Rats are almost perfectly suited for this type of work, argues Mkumbo. They are easy to train and transport to clearance sites, cheap to feed, and resistant to many of the tropical diseases to which dogs succumb. In the field, they are quick and methodical. Thirty-six rats trained in Tanzania are working on the project so far, and have already cleared thousands of mines across the country.

In the wake of the Obamas' departure, he adds, "People are saddened and confused - some people might be a little angry...
Bush will have been in the Oval Office for almost as long as it took NASA to answer John F. Kennedy's call to send a man to the moon and back. In Bush's first term, he announced plans for a new type of coal-fired power plant that captures its carbon dioxide exhaust and pumps it safely underground, where it cannot affect the climate. Yet not only will he leave the White House without having broken ground on a zero-emissions power plant, but his Administration once again put off the initiative in January. Why? Persistent failure...
