...Plan B economy - Brown argues for a worldwide carbon tax to be phased in at $20 per ton each year between 2008 and 2020, topping out at $240 per ton. That might seem excessive, but Brown points out that even a carbon tax higher than $240 per ton wouldn't cover all the environmental and health costs of burning fossil fuels, from climate change to air pollution-related illnesses. And while it's difficult to imagine any politician standing up for such a tax, he reminds us that we already have a precedent for a heavy tax that takes into...
...weird thing," says Edward Hirt, an Indiana University psychology professor who has studied fan behavior. "Fans' emotions are often conflicted, which is even surprising to themselves. The Pats offer a kind of win-win situation. You can root against them, but you kind of wouldn't mind seeing a perfect season. And if they lose, you'll enjoy seeing them get their comeuppance."

Her 2005 analysis of 55 businesses with baby-friendly policies found that people often anticipate disaster but there is rarely a negative effect on co-workers or productivity. What's more, she learned that having babies around can boost morale among colleagues. "We have tended...
...Iowa hasn't been as kind to long-shot Democrats this year, though you wouldn't know it by the crowds in the last few days. The numbers at nearly every event in the final days have been so large that it can seem as if all the candidates have momentum, whether they actually do or not. Joe Biden has been drawing crowds of several hundred wherever he goes - unprecedented for Biden, and in most years a good omen. But since Democratic excitement is running at such a high pitch this year, it probably means far less this time around...
