The shock of his sudden depredations - pow, you're dead - grants the movie some of its very curious rhythm. It has a rather calm and objective air about it most of the time. But whenever Bardem appears, something nasty starts twisting in your gut. He's about as perfect a representation of unambiguous evil as the movies have lately offered. And Brolin is his perfect foil. He's terrific as a totally twisted cop in American Gangster...
...process known as electrochemical weathering, which increases the alkalinity—or basic pH level—of the Earth’s oceans to reduce the damage caused by acid rain and decrease carbon levels in the atmosphere. The natural ability of oceans to remove carbon from the air has suffered due to pollution-induced acid rain. House hopes to increase the waters’ alkaline levels in order to accelerate this natural process that represents half of the Earth’s ability to remove carbon. Increasing the ocean’s alkaline levels will also protect animals...
...urban roofs are going green. Environmental designers looking for new ways to soften cities have begun to realize that the tops of buildings don't have to be wastelands. Indeed, they can be gardens, planted with grasses, flowers and shrubs that control temperature, conserve water and clean the air. A newly published paper in the journal BioScience reveals just how much good green roofs...
...this elaborate infrastructure can do a great deal of good. The BioScience paper, which aggregated years' worth of other studies, reported that green roofs can cut heat loss from a building 50%, reduce air-conditioning costs 25% and reduce the so-called urban-heat-island effect--the tendency of cities to retain heat--by 3.6ºF (2ºC...
...quarterback Nathan Ford is knocked out early in last week’s game at Dartmouth. Sophomore wide receiver Stephen Liuzza, still wearing his catching gloves, comes on to take the snaps. In just three quarters, he posts 423 yards of total offense—292 through the air on 26-of-40 passing and another 131 on the ground on 29 carries...
