FRESH WORRY FOR CLIMATE SCIENTISTS The Arctic just finished its warmest winter on record and sea ice hit record lows for this time of year, U.S. weather data show. 9. WHOSE WORKERS ARE GETTING A BOOST Target is raising its minimum starting pay for workers for the second time in less than a year after seeing a bigger and better pool of candidates. 10.
