It was not a stunt to impress parents. More and more colleges are getting serious about going green. In June, 284 university presidents representing some of the nation’s most influential schools announced an agreement pledging to make their campuses “carbon neutral.” The message was clear. “We’re saying that sustainability is no longer an elective,” says Cornell president David Skorton. Their motivation wasn’t merely to reduce energy consumption and waste. As a $315 billion sector of the economy—and one that will train future leaders—higher education has a special responsibility to encourage environmental stewardship....

US athlete Debbie Dunn has been banned for two years after testing positive for a banned steroid at the US Olympic trials in June, the US Anti-Doping Agency said Tuesday. Dunn was first alerted of a positive test result in July shortly, after the US Olympic Trials in Eugene, Oregon. The 34-year-old athlete, who didn’t qualify to race an individual event in London but had earned a place in the pool of 4x400m relay candidates, withdrew from the US team for London saying she didn’t want her case to be a distraction as she awaited the final outcome....

Sound familiar? I was reminded of all the Vietnam films I’d watched as a kid. There’s a simple message in each of them, from “Platoon” to “Full Metal Jacket.” The war is about us , not them . Vietnam is merely the setting for Americans to understand what it means to be an American. What moral choices do we make? What is our national identity? How much strain on the psyche can we take before we crack?...

In the United States alone, there are an estimated 112,000 people currently waiting for urgent transplants, and there is, therefore, plenty of demand for the possibility of 3D-printed organs. The idea, however, has been beset with technical problems that have, to date, limited the type of organs that can be printed. But researchers at the Stevens Institute of Technology, a private research university in New Jersey, are now pushing through these barriers by revamping a decades-old technique to reproduce any tissue type....

Scott, a Republican, repeatedly referred to China as an “adversary” while speaking with CNBC’s Squawk Box and even said that President Donald Trump should not back off his trade war if its impacts push the U.S. into a recession prior to the 2020 election. “They’re our political adversary, economic adversary, military adversary. So we’ve got to do everything we can to take care of ourselves and see if we can get them to change....

Amouranth, real name Kaitlyn Siragusa, is known for her Just Chatting and IRL content on Twitch. She gained a significant following during the “hot tub meta” last year, where streamers would talk to their chat, and sometimes play games, while hanging out in a hot tub in their swimsuits. Amouranth had been demonetized and banned in the past for sexually explicit content while doing these streams in the past....

Klobuchar made the statement in an interview with Ed O’Keefe just after an event in New Hampshire, which will hold its presidential primary on Tuesday, CBS News reported. O’Keefe brought up the fact that, at the presidential debate held on Friday, Klobuchar was the only candidate to raise their hand to admit that they would be bothered with having a democratic socialist representing the Democrats in November’s general election....

A handful of Japanese plaintiffs have won sexual-harassment suits before, largely because the accused failed to appear in court. This time the firm put up a spirited defense. The woman didn’t claim physical harassment, but verbal abuse. When she tried to stop her boss from spreading rumors that she was promiscuous, she alleged, she was advised to quit. The court ordered the publishing firm and one of its employees to pay $12,500 for violating her rights....

Following Cristiano Ronaldo’s crowning as the 2013 FIFA Ballon d’Or winner in Zurich on Monday, the Real Madrid lynchpin has now joined this special club and in the process earned himself a reputation as a legend of the sport. The attacker probably recognized this himself as he broke down in tears upon collecting the prize. To win the Ballon d’Or once — as 33 individuals have managed, starting with Stanley Matthews in the inaugural edition in 1956 right up until Kaka in 2007 — is certainly a magnificent achievement, but it doesn’t necessarily catapult a footballer to all-time greatness....

RELATED: Fallout: A Lore Dive Into Ghouls Playing a Ghoul In Fallout This, while it should be taken with a grain of salt, is a big deal. The lead role being a Ghoul would suggest that this Fallout TV series is about the world and the post-Nuclear War world from a Ghoul’s perspective, and that’s something players of the franchise have always wanted. Fallout lets players choose their characters, but they’ve always been limited to a human man or woman....

The move, which comes as the shopping giant is scrambling to ensure its U.S. warehouses can remain operational, does not appear to be moving forward as CEOs from the firms, Abbott Laboratories and Thermo Fisher Scientific, said they do not have the capacity for such a job. The test-makers’ workload is being dominated by the demands of the U.S. government, the CEOs said, according to notes from an internal meeting obtained by Reuters....

Fans were quick to notice that Momoa only began following Depp on Instagram once the defamation trial went into full swing. In their view, this was a clear indication that Momoa was on Depp’s side of the dispute, but it is unknown whether Momoa actually intended to send that message across. Many people assumed he would be on Heard’s side since he starred alongside her in DC’s Aquaman back in 2018, but Momoa hasn’t made any statements so far confirming his actual stance....

In his mind, it’s pretty simple, when asked what is on the 2014 list of must-dos. “We need to win,” Ambrose says. “We need to make the Chase.” After six years in Cup racing, the Australian driver is still looking to make the Chase for the Sprint Cup for the first time. Considering his road-racing prowess — his two career Cup wins and four career Nationwide wins have been on road courses — he has two prime opportunities each year to win a Cup race....

In a bid to make itself stand out from the competition, AMD has said its RDNA 3 range will offer more efficiency, though the architecture will still be able to go up against Nvidia in the power department. As the technology advances, so too do the GPUs that power many gamer’s machines. With the market now looking much healthier, after nearly two years of product shortages and price hikes that have plagued this current generation, there will no doubt be enthusiasts who will be looking to see what the benchmark tests show from both teams....

In his February 4 speech at the State Department, the leader of the free world added: “America is back. Diplomacy is back at the center of our foreign policy.” President Biden went on to emphasize: “America’s alliances are our greatest asset, and leading with diplomacy means standing shoulder-to-shoulder with our allies.” For Bahrain–a country of 1.5 million people situated perilously in the Arabian Gulf–these were welcomed words. When the world’s preeminent superpower retreats from the global stage, concerns rise in countries such as mine....
