exclamation point Upsurge in methane during ice age hints at warming scenario
A spike in a potent greenhouse gas during the end of the last ice age hints at what the future may hold if the planet continues to warm.

This time the proof will not be in the pudding but in the passing. And no one knows that better than the passer, Matthew Erickson Moore. Better known around the Oregon State football camp as Matt Moore, the senior quarterback said he doesn't "really have an attitude about it but I'm definitely better than what I showed last year. "I know there are doubters out there, there always are, but the only way to deal with it is to play."

How are items chosen for Beaver Eclips?
Beaver Eclips is a free service of the OSU Alumni Association. Its main purpose is to provide alumni and friends of OSU with a sense of how Oregon State has been portrayed in the news media over the past week. Items are selected by the staff of the Oregon Stater and by other OSUAA employees. Inclusion of an item in Eclips means only that we think it's interesting and/or important, and does not constitute an endorsement of its point of view or its journalistic accuracy.
