EU: hackers broke into cap-and-trade system
I have been looking at articles on Cap and Trade and found this article, EU: hackers broke into cap-and-trade system, on The Boston Globe's website.
According to this article 3 million euros worth of pollution credits were stolen by hackers.
Some carbon trading in Germany was stopped in last week.

Carbon Watch
I followed a link from Fresh Air's website to Carbon Watch on PBS's FRONTLINE website http://www.pbs.org/frontlineworld/stories/carbonwatch/
When Terry Gross interviewed Mark Schapiro, I learned a few things about the economic side of Cap and Trade.
Especially how pollution credits are traded like stocks.
Here I followed a link to http://marketplace.publicradio.org/display/web/2010/01/20/pm-carbon-q/
Where I am reading this story, Clearing the air on carbon credits at Market Place's website.

Remembering Columbia STS-107
I am looking at this, Remembering Columbia STS-107, at NASA's website http://history.nasa.gov/columbia/index.html
According to this account of the STS-107 mission, Space Shuttle Columbia launched on 16 January 2003.
Space Shuttle Columbia and crew reentered the atmosphere on 1 February 2003.
The shuttle suffered a serious failure as the result of a breach caused when form, falling from the external tank during launch, struck reinforced carbon control panels on the bottom of the left wing.
