...these coaches live in is amazing," says Murray Sperber, a visiting professor at the Graduate School of Education at the University of California, Berkeley, and the author of Beer and Circus: How Big-Time College Sports Is Crippling Undergraduate Education. "In the example of Leach, it seems the whole discussion about concussions has apparently passed him by." Leach's attorney has denied Adam James' characterization of the events and says Leach plans to file a lawsuit against Texas Tech...
...despite the sheer amount of carbon the shipping industry produces, its biggest emitters are relatively few. Bradford estimates that about 20,000 of the biggest and most polluting ships contribute about half the carbon emitted by the industry as a whole, so any solution to the emissions problem could be implemented much more easily than, say, changing the 800 million or so passenger cars in the world. "Ships could be retrofitted to be cleaner and more efficient quickly," says Bradford. (See the world's most polluted places...
...total $220 million projected annual deficit that FAS administrators said they hoped to close by July 2011. For all the professed savings, however, shocked students and faculty expressed their concerns with the pervasive culture of budget trimming: “This stinks of rhetoric—the whole Web site does," as one student eloquently stated at a subsequent town hall meeting. In September, Smith announced that FAS had cut about half of its $220 million projected annual deficit, heralding some good news to pierce what had been an unwieldy fiscal maelstrom for the earlier part...
...Experts say the undergarment bomb probably would have shown up on the new generation of whole-body imaging scanners that are chiefly designed to detect explosives. These devices, using millimeter waves or X-rays, generate a picture so detailed that the officials reviewing them are located elsewhere for the sake of passenger modesty. But Amsterdam's Schiphol has only about 15 of these machines serving some 90 gates, and they are used on a voluntary basis only on short-haul flights within Europe. That's partly because the wave scanners are costly - they sell for $180,000 - and partly because...
...spent nearly $800 million trying to develop sniffers and scanners that could be more widely used - a whole-body imager, a bottled-liquid scanner, an automated explosive-detection system for carry-on baggage and another made especially for shoes, designed to work while they're still on your feet. But they have been slow to be deployed. Only one device, which sniffs the air for trace explosives, is in relatively widespread use, at just 36 airports - and it would not have detected Abdulmutallab's bomb...
