Heinz is among the handful of members who regularly show up for twice-weekly practices with the club he registered at his school last fall. Ryan Ford, 19, a business major at the University of Colorado at Boulder, set up a similar club in November. In three years as a traceur, as parkour people call themselves, Ford has had one notable injury: separating his shoulder last summer after his foot clipped a rail and sent him headlong toward concrete. But instead of face planting, he managed to keep rolling over. "I like to think parkour actually saved me from more...
That would be good for everyone. Last year alone, China added 102 gigawatts to its electrical grid--roughly twice the total capacity of California's--and about 90% of that came from carbon-belching coal plants. Geothermal energy can at least make a start on cleaning up this mess. The China Energy Research Society expects 110 gigawatt hours (GWh) to be produced through geothermal power nationally by 2010, out of 2.7 million GWh in total. That's a tiny slice, but energy experts believe China has the potential to do much more. "There are geothermal resources in almost every province...
...only thing more stunning than Hillary Clinton's $26 million was Obama's ability to match it. She has eight years in the White House and two Senate campaigns' worth of connections. He has the stuff dreams are made of--and 100,000 donors, twice as many as Clinton. Whereas Romney leveraged the faithful networks of Mormons and Wall Street, Obama tapped both Net roots and grass roots, collecting nearly $7 million online. The Democrats together outraised the G.O.P. by 50%. In what is likely to be the first $2 billion campaign, money may not be the most important thing...
...Anglo-Dutch consumer giant Unilever, Dove's $52 billion parent company, the stakes are high: total sales in 2006 grew just 4%. Indeed, since 2004, Unilever's sales growth has been in the single digits, while key competitor Procter & Gamble, which owns rival beauty powerhouse Olay, is growing twice as fast and enjoying healthier profit margins (22% in 2006). Dove needs a hit, but in a global culture obsessed with looking younger, will the older-is-O.K. approach catch...
...Unionist Party and the nationalist Sinn Fein Party agreed to form a power-sharing government on May 8. At the center of the PSNI's makeover is a 2000 law: 50% of all new recruits must, like Fitzpatrick, have Catholic roots. Today 20% of officers are Catholic, more than twice the share 10 years ago. By 2010, the force is on track to be 30% Catholic...
