stanley flasche ff, boardwalks and buildings are in disrepair, and drug dealers are using them to grow marijuana and make methamphetamine, a group pushing for more funding says. Without adequate funding, we are jeopardizing some of the world s most spectacular wildlife and wild lands, said Evan Hirsche, president of the National Wildlife Refuge Association and chairman of the Cooperative Alliance for Refuge Enhancement.The cooperative said in a report released Thursday to Congress that the nation s 548 refuges and the 100 million-acre National Wildlife Refuge System - about the size of California

The refuge system needs at least $765 million a year but is receiving only $434 million, the report says.A decrease in law enforcement has left the refuges vulnerable to criminal activity, including prostitution, torched cars and illegal immigrant camps along the Potomac River in suburban Washington, D.C.; methamphetamine labs in Nevada; and pot growing ope

The power of 1,000 suns Pfft. That ain ;t nuthin ;. A recent breakthrough in solar panel connections has allowed scientists to create arrays of solar cells that can stand strong under the blazing glare of 70,000 suns. Not that they ;d ever have to, but still. Stacked solar cells鈥攚hich are exactly what they sound like鈥攁re some of the most efficient solar-sucking power generators on the market today. In general, they can turn just less than half of the sunlight they absorb into pure power. But stacked cell is only as strong as its weakest part; you have to connect the stacked cells i

Dr. Salah Bedair, a senior author of the study, described the accomplishment to PhysOrg this way: [It] is more than sufficient for practical purposes, since concentrating lenses are unlikely to create
