Junior Dan Chenoweth similarly used this past weekend to get back into running after suffering injuries. In the mile, Chenoweth led from start to end, posting a time of 4:13.73. Freshman Joe Brancale grabbed a personal record in the 5,000-meter race to finish the day on a high note...
...scored a double-hundred against South Africa in a one-day match on Feb. 24, 2010. For the 1.5 billion people who follow cricket - making it, by some reckoning, the world's second most popular sport after soccer - it was a moment to match Roger Bannister's 4-min. mile...
...warming greatly outweighs the nearly infinitesimal risk from the plants. So far, nuclear energy has proven to be remarkably safe as its production has become more computerized and has removed most potential human errors from the equation. The only notable nuclear accident in the United States was the Three Mile Island incident, but no one was injured there. Additionally, the incident was caused by a human error, and such concerns have become obsolete with the latest generation of reactors. However, the president will still have to dispel myths about living near reactors. Accordingly, we encourage the administration to be transparent...
...rebirth. It would be nice to have a permanent Yucca Mountain-style repository for spent nuclear fuel, but for now plants have been storing their waste on-site without major problems. And the nuclear industry's safety record has improved dramatically in the 30 years since the Three Mile Island meltdown, although there are still occasional blips like the recent radioactive leak at a Vermont plant. The NRC is not exactly a hostile regulator, but sometimes it shows teeth: in October, it identified problems with the Westinghouse AP1000 reactor design, which could create additional delays for nearly half...

On Wednesday morning, Vonn's teammate Julia Mancuso turned in the downhill ride of her life at Whistler Creekside, setting herself up for an upset gold. But Vonn responded, achy shin and all, finishing the 1.8-mile course in 1 min. 44.19 sec., beating eventual silver medalist Mancuso by 0.66 sec. Vonn's run was even more amazing considering that several top skiers crashed on the speedy course...
