...years ago). We know the planet was some 3° to 5°C (5° to 9°F) warmer during the Eemian period than it is today, and by analyzing the NEEM ice core, researchers might be able to figure out how the Greenland ice sheet--which contains enough frozen water to raise sea levels by 7 meters if it were all to melt--might react as our own climate warms. No one knows what the tipping point for rapid melting might be, but NEEM could help us find out. "Without an understanding of the past, there's no hope...
...Mama Ann if I had persuaded her to vote for Obama. "Yeah," she said. I was elated, until she added, "I'm fine. I have to go for blood work again. They keep me waiting for an hour. I'm all sunburned like a berry. I get in the water, and I forget to get out. I get in conversations...

At the World Series in Las Vegas, each team plays with 10 cups, four with water in them and six with beer. The 16-oz. cups are a quarter to a third full. Since each side has roughly one beer per person, the idea is that no one will consume more than one beer per hour. Last January, 300 teams of two paid at least...
...knew they were everywhere, including backwaters unreached by government or NGOs. He started comparing them to McDonald's franchises. Or to desktop computers: if they could be infected with the virus of good works, the world could be transformed. (Put simply: if every pastor in the world taught basic water hygiene, it could significantly cut rates of dysentery, a major global killer.) Scores of short-term activists, armed with Saddleback-crafted training, would go into a foreign country, locate its most promising churches and introduce them to the best practices in areas from health care to good leadership. Those churches...
