...politicians culled from three other IPCC panels convened throughout the year, read like what it is: a final warning to humanity. "Today the world's scientists have spoken clearly, and with one voice," said U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon, who attended the publication of the report in Valencia, Spain.

...companies had placed large orders for the heat-based acne fighter, launched last February. "You tell me what that means," he says with a laugh, declining to mention the companies involved.

The remaining battles were fierce and peppered with lead changes, but a slightly superior Alinghi crew proved...
...protesting what they called diminished press freedom. But if you were one of the many Venezuelan television viewers who don't get 24-hour news channel Globovision, you might not have seen the protests. That's because besides the station available only on pay cable outside of Caracas and Valencia, other networks barely covered the demonstrations...
