Available from pet stores on O'ahu, selected veterinarians and in Longs Drugs, Don Quijote, Star Market, Foodland, the Marine Corps Base Exchange, and Sack N Save.

HAPPENING
GLOBAL WARMING LECTURE TONIGHT
While drilling ice sheets in the 1990s, Richard Alley became worried the Earth's climate could shift. A two-mile-long ice core, pulled from the center of Greenland, contained bubbles of air revealing what the Earth's atmosphere was like over a period of 100,000 years. Alley saw that at one point, the global climate drastically changed in as little as 10 years. Following this discovery, the Penn State University professor made climate change a personal crusade. He gives the lecture "Get Rich and Save the World: Global Warming, Peak Oil, and Our Future" at 7 tonight in the University of Hawai'i-Manoa Campus Center ballroom.
