Over the past couple of decades, however, engineers armed with an array of high-tech materials and sophisticated ideas about angular momentum and moments of inertia have transformed the sport--and, most notably, the bowling ball. Nowadays the ball comes with a dizzying array of options, each imparting a different spin and roll. So where serious bowlers used to carry just one ball to the lanes, they now haul around half a dozen or more to be ready for whatever conditions they might encounter.

But the sun is also a proven source of energy, and the technology for tapping into solar power is available. In one of the simplest of several variations, an array of mirrors focuses sunlight on a tank filled with water, heating it and producing steam that can be used to generate electricity. Large numbers of such solar-power plants could be installed in hot deserts and other sunny areas. Iran claims that it needs nuclear power, but Europe...
...Well, first of all, proponents of ID point to what they insist are serious flaws in Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. The truth is that the theory is not only an overwhelmingly powerful explanation for how life on Earth manages to come in such a bewildering array of different types, but the only such theory in science. Like any scientific theory, it can't explain how every aspect of every organism came to be, but each time scientists find new evidence-fossils of dinosaurs bearing feathers; fossils of the mammals whose descendants are whales; the molecular structure...
...communities outside that identity,” Thoreson said. “At Harvard we have mechanisms for solving that problem. After we leave, however, those mechanisms disappear, which is why it is so important to start dialogues now.” Students debated how to include a wide array of students into various cultural or lifestyle groups without diluting the goal of a shared experience. “What happens when a person can feel safe in two groups, because of shared common identities within those groups, but you can only achieve that safe space in of those...
