Klutzes of the world rejoice: a new type of "unbreakable" wineglass is here to save you from yourselves. French glass and tableware manufacturer Arc International, www.arc-international.com , has developed[an error occurred while processing this directive] a handblown crystal that it says is hard enough to be banged vigorously and repeatedly on a table or floor without breaking. That's not the only advantage of the new material, which Arc has dubbed Kwarx (the formula is a trade secret). The color of wine is said to be more faithfully perceived because of Kwarx's perfect neutrality on the chromatic scale...
...Rethink How You Learn Just as not all students learn alike, not all colleges serve the standard fare of a core curriculum and electives.

Hannah Roberts, a communications manager at Arc, heads for the sleep pods behind the reception desk whenever she gets hit by a bout of afternoon lethargy and creative block. If she is lucky enough to find one empty, she leans back in the recliner, pulls down the visor, puts on noise-canceling earphones and drifts. Fifteen minutes later...
What has been concluded for the most part is this: al-Qaeda's thinking is that a second-wave attack should be more destructive and more disruptive than 9/11. Why? Because that would create an upward arc of terror and anticipation between the second and ostensibly a third attack. That fear and terror is a central goal of the al-Qaeda strategy...
