...think the courtside dress code you put in place [in 2005] has had a positive effect? -Michael Blackwell, Cedar Falls, IowaI do. I viewed it as an opportunity to say to our players that there is this issue of respect, and we just have to wake up and focus on that. It's not the draconian dress code that people came to believe it was. You would have thought I'd said you had to wear a tuxedo or tails to a game...
...that depressing litany is to keep pushing the same message harder: cut carbon and cut it now. But a few scientists are beginning to quietly raise the possibility of cooling the planet's fever directly through geoengineering. The principle behind it is straightforward - compensate for an intensified greenhouse effect by reducing the amount of solar radiation reaching the earth - but the techniques seem like pure science fiction. Just a few: using orbital mirrors to bounce sunlight back into space, fertilizing the oceans with iron to amplify their ability to absorb carbon and even painting roofs white to increase solar reflection...
...clearer data will reveal information about why the geysers formed. The leading theory is that Saturn's gravitational pull puts stresses on the moon, causing the fissures from which the plumes erupt. "Enceladus' orbit around Saturn is eccentric," Mitchell says. It's just enough off of circular that the effect of gravity on the moon is different from one point to another, and different from the planet's other moons. "That difference in the tug would be enough to cause the body to distort differently as it goes around Saturn." The friction created when sides of the tiger stripes...
...these comments was made by the candidates themselves. In the game of politics, perception trumps reality, and both of these comments were unfortunately perceived as having come directly from the campaigns.

For the sake of the party, Clinton and Obama—both the candidates and their staffs—must avoid, as much as possible, regressing into trench warfare from here on out. Right now, it may seem like the nomination is everything...
