Driving food home can cost the Earth
New Scientist – New Scientist (subscription) – Mar 2, 2005
That is the message for consumers from a comprehensive analysis of the hidden environmental and economic costs of food in the UK. The report could have implications for all industrialised nations with similar patterns of food production and distribution. “Go local is the key, and you create a benefit by not driving,” says Jules Pretty of the University of Essex in Colchester, UK, who led the study. It concluded that shuttling food around by road and rail within the country imposes a far greater environmental burden than so called “air-miles” widely touted by green campaigners as the greatest menace.
Beach’s Williams duo hope to bring home a pair of state titles

His first impression: “She was fast. ” Jacqua struggles to find an early recollection, except that he wore his hair in unflattering braids. “He’s grown into a better looking gentleman,” she said after a burst of laughter. “He’s grown as a man in both basketball and outside of basketball. ” Terrence attended Garfield as a freshman, while Jacqua came directly to Rainier Beach. The two were reunited when Terrence transferred to Beach as a sophomore and they dated for most of their junior year. That relationship ended mutually last May, they said, but they remained friends…
Jacqua has helped Terrence become a way, way better ballplayer, and Terrence has helped Jacqua become a way, way better ballplayer.

Daily Star – Lebanon – Mar 2, 2005
Khouri Commentary by Wednesday, March 02, 2005 The brisk pace of domestic political change towards more freedom and democracy in several parts of the Arab world this week has already triggered a passionate argument about whether this is the result of the American-led invasion of Iraq or is more of a home-grown, indigenous Arab phenomenon.

New GPEC chief pushes for regional policy coordination
East Valley Tribune – Mar 2, 2005
March 2, 2005 – 6:37AM New GPEC chief pushes for regional policy coordination Ed Taylor, Tribune The Valley of the Sun still has room to improve its economic development efforts despite the regions rapid growth and success in attracting jobs, says the Valleys new economic development coordinator. Barry Broome, who assumed his new job as president and CEO of the Greater Phoenix Economic Council in February, said the region needs a more coordinated economic development strategy and more venture capital funding to help start up companies become established and become home-grown corporations. Also he called for a better balance in the Valley real estate strategies, providing space for job producing industries as well as retail shopping centers. Broome, who came to Arizona from southwest Michigan, spoke about his initial impressions of the Valley Tuesday at the quarterly “Power Breakfast” for Valley business leaders at the Arizona Biltmore in Phoenix. Policy coordination was the top theme emphasized by Broome, who said too many interests are randomly throwing proposals at the Arizona Legislature without sufficient analysis of how the parts fit together. As an example, he cited the desire on the one hand of corporations such as Intel to change the sales factor used in computing their corporate income tax payments, which would have the effect of reducing their taxes, versus the demand for more taxpayer funds to support new and expanded programs.
