[Stanford] Varsity Athletics Programs to Fly Carbon Neutral (http://www.stanforddaily.com/2016/04/27/varsity-athletics-programs-to-fly-carbon-neutral/)

Quote from: Ada Statler-ThrockmortonStanford's varsity athletics program will be the first in the country to become carbon-neutral in air travel with the student-initiated program, Stanford Carbon Offsets to Reduce Emissions (SCORE). The program works with carbon offset company 3degrees to invest money into a landfill methane recycling project. Energy produced from the landfill methane will then save emissions equivalent to the annual emissions from the Athletics Department's flights.

Story is by the Stanford Daily's Ada Statler-Throckmorton (how, with that name, did she not wind up in Cambridge?). Who yesterday was the first to write of John Boehner calling Ted Cruz "Lucifer in the flesh" but not until the fourth paragraph.

Quote from: Ada Statler-Throckmorton"You can call me boner, beaner, jackass, happy to answer to almost anything," said former Speaker of the House John Boehner as he took the stage at CEMEX Auditorium on Wednesday evening. Boehner joined David M. Kennedy, faculty director and history professor emeritus, in a talk hosted by Stanford in Government (SIG) and the Stanford Speakers Bureau.
...
"Lucifer in the flesh," the former Speaker said. "I have Democrat friends and Republican friends. I get along with almost everyone, but I have never worked with a more miserable son of a bitch in my life."
