...Perhaps, if Barack Obama conveys a clear plan and is seen to empathize with an anxious nation. In the end, though, the issue is such an albatross for the incumbent party that Obama may not need to improve his pitch to win. Republicans continue to ride the Sarah Palin wave (amplified by a certain brouhaha involving a farm animal and cosmetics) to better poll numbers, increased fund-raising and possible front-runner status. The Democrats made up some ground by week's end but are still reacting to the John McCain onslaught rather than driving the agenda and news cycle...
...Peter Shields was so hot,” commented Keyster Robert P. Ciofani ’09. Shouts of “Petros! Petros!” could be heard even during the announcements asking the freshmen to stop dancing on the tables (the lone HUPD officer could only wave his flashlight at them) and stay away from the area behind the DJ booth.

Even worse, it seems that the weediest species seem to thrive disproportionately in high CO2 environments. The wave of urbanization in America and much of the world doesn't help - the urban environment, often hotter and with more CO2 than rural areas, is ragweed heaven. "Urban places, because of the baking effect of that increased concrete, definitely pollinate more," says Ratner. It doesn't help that warming will...
...goal, tallied in the 77th minute of the final on Sunday, February 10, 2008 by Egypt’s immortal Mohamed Aboutrika, sent a country into pandemonium.While the coffee shop turned sports-bar jumped for joy, while the red, white, and black of Egypt’s flag waved from the balconies in the crowded streets of Cairo, I sat and watched. When the final whistle blew, the city erupted. It seemed, I told my friend, that all of Egypt was out tonight, dancing, jumping, and singing in the streets.I had been in Egypt for just about two weeks. Having...
