Several Baylor graduate programs have been nationally ranked in “America’s Best Grad- uate Schools” by U.S. News and World Reports for 2011. The Baylor Law School was ranked at No. 64, Hankamer School of Business’ MBA program at No. 52.

The windmills would be about five miles off Cape Cod at their closest point to land and 14 miles off Nantucket at the great- est distance. According to simulations done for Cape Wind, on a clear day the turbines would look as if they were about a half-inch tall on the horizon at the nearest point and appear as specks from Nantucket. The costs will be covered with private funding as well as potentially millions in federal stimulus money and tax credits. Cape Wind is negotiating to sell the electricity generated to a local utility. Cape Wind eventually hopes to supply three-quarters of the power on Cape Cod, which has about 225,000 residents. Cape Wind officials say it will provide green jobs and a reliable domestic energy source. The announcement came after a pair of deadly disasters earlier this month in West Virginia and the Gulf of Mexico illustrated the risks in extracting oil and coal to meet the country’s energy needs. Advocates are hoping Cape Wind can jump-start the entire U.S. offshore wind industry. America has the world’s largest onshore wind industry but lags behind other countries in offshore electric generation because of high upfront costs, heavy reg- ulation and technological challenges. Denmark installed the world’s first offshore wind turbine 20 years ago, and there are offshore wind farms around Europe. China has built a commercial wind farm off Shanghai and plans several other projects. Major U.S. projects are on the drawing board for the waters off New Jersey, Delaware and Texas. The U.S. Department of En- ergy envisions offshore wind farms accounting for 4 percent of the country’s electric generating capacity by 2030.

By Ma t t La r s e n Sp o r t s w r i t e r

When Sam Bradford, the No. 1 overall pick of the 2010 NFL draft, went down for the second time with a season-ending shoulder injury October 17, 2009, the college football world collective- ly whispered a semi-empathetic, “He should have gone pro when he had the chance.” Many questioned the 2008 Heisman trophy winner when he chose to forgo the NFL draft and return to Oklahoma in 2009 for his junior season with a national championship in mind. And with good reason. Projected to go in the first round, the sophomore led the country in passing efficiency (180.8) and notched 4,720 passing yards and 50 touchdowns while only throwing eight interceptions on the year. With NFL agents waving Sa r a h Gr o m a n | La r i a t Ph o t o g r ap h e r promises of a huge pro salary in his face, the sophomore made a As s o c i a t e d Pr e s s Gregg Glime dives into third base in Wednesday night’s 14-4 victory against No. 11-ranked TCU.
