Turns out trans fats weren't the only problem with potato chips. Frito-Lay, after realizing that its factories burn enormous amounts of energy, plans to take its Casa Grande, Ariz., facility off the power grid. Scheduled for 2010, the new design is capable of reducing electricity and water consumption 90%. Parent corporation PepsiCo's CEO says the company will be content to reach even 50% of the program's potential. Here's the plan...
This telltale flicker is easy to spot even from a small, ground-based telescope. So Charbonneau is setting up an array of eight 16-in. (40 cm) telescopes on Mount Hopkins, near Tucson, Ariz., and pointing them over and over at the 100 closest M-dwarfs to see if their light dims in a repeating pattern.

Those are the kinds of people that linger in your memory...
...much fun because I got to hear [local] people talk about their struggles and tell them what is at the bottom of the Republican campaign,” Luis A. Martinez Jr. ’11 said, who campaigned for Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in a crisp suit and bright blue tie, despite the precipitation. HRC members were dropped off at the New Hampshire campaign headquarters for each of the six Republican presidential contenders, allowing every group to focus their efforts on one candidate. At the end of the day, students reconvened on the bus and compared the campaign...
