...middle of this week, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has threatened to pull it in favor of the immigration bill, though he has promised to finish the measure before July 4 recess. The bill probably has enough in it pleasing to other constituencies - farming states love the biofuel provision, wind states like the renewable incentives and most Democrats want to see the tax breaks for oil and gas companies go away - to pass Congress. But Democrats will have their work cut out for them to appease environmental groups if the bill is passed over their objections...
...studies presented the annual meeting of the ASBS in San Diego, Calif., from June 11 to 16 show that adolescents and seniors, two age groups that have traditionally been urged to shy away from bariatric procedures, can actually benefit from surgical intervention.

Brazil, for instance, brews sugarcane-based ethanol, which is more efficient than corn-based...
...down an empty street on her way “back” to Harvard Square. Looming big-block buildings maximize floor space. These buildings of glass and steel carry strong, welcoming sandstone entryways announcing the Harvard X, Y, or Z-nomics Center. The only sounds are those of wind, windshield wipers, a few quiet conversations by the shuttle bus stop, and the rumble of air conditioning systems...
