...through to an even wider audience -- have been in the service of a good cause, at Live Aid or during last summer's tour for Amnesty International. This is not, then, just a band for partying down. "Partying is a disguise, isn't it?" Bono asks, and does not wait for an answer. This is a band that believes rock music has moral imperatives and social responsibilities. There is no one better than U2 at bringing "over there" back "over here," and setting it down right by the front door, where no one can miss...
More than 3,000 people die each year waiting for a kidney. Although many patients have loved ones who are willing to donate a kidney, incompatible blood types or antibodies often make the transplants impossible. As a result, most patients wait three to seven years for a kidney from a cadaver--which lasts only half as long as an organ from a live donor.

She?s seeded 26th in Queens, but she reached the 3rd round...
...battle over the water stores of rural Nevada is taking place in a very different era--one in which multiple boards and authorities must approve a water request, constraining a large urban center from bamboozling an unsuspecting rural population again. So Las Vegas must play by the rules, waiting until state and federal officials agree to its aquifer-tapping proposal. While water-authority representatives wait, the city has been busy reassuring everyone that its plan will be considerate of the land, with carefully monitored pumping that can be dialed back the moment evidence of harm comes to light...
