...League of Conservation Voters is 24%, while Democratic Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton both score 86%. So, when the McCain campaign announced that he would spend much of this week addressing the environment, starting with a speech on climate change Monday afternoon in Portland, Ore., it was worth asking whether this pitch is mostly about politics - or whether McCain is really serious about taking on climate change...
...like them, but were of the same age and sex, run on treadmills. A day later, Fox found that participants who watched avatars of their own likeness exercising had themselves exercised an hour more in the intervening 24-hour period than people in the other two groups.

The Italian shipment, however, would be several times larger than any that have come in before. EnergySolutions refused to say how much a contract for the Italian waste would be worth, and it's difficult to estimate, given that EnergySolutions would charge by the cubic foot, not by weight, and international rates for LLRW disposal vary widely...
