...Grossman, I'm sick of the sour grapes from naysayers who moan about what the iPhone doesn't do and ignore what it does do and just how well it does it. I hate my conventional cell phone with its 100-page, four-language manual that I can't begin to understand. I've used the iPhone without having to look at the manual. And the only language required is intuition. Brad Cathey, Wheaton, Illinois...
Annie Schumake stands outside her one-story house in the depressed city of Richmond, Calif., just north of Oakland, and watches her electric meter slow to a crawl, stop and then begin to tick backward. Schumake's solar panel, just installed on her roof and partly financed with low-cost loans from the city, is supplying free power and more.

Their stretching reminds me of the ol' West Coast standards brought into form in the '30's in Stanford and USC. Way to go boys. 7:34 pm: Good evening, Sports Fans. This is Walt Howell here (with my best friend and sports comper Troy "the Murder" Murrell), bringing you, the Harvard fan, the best coverage we can muster as your Harvard Crimson (2-2) take on the undefeated Holy...
...long-term consequences of this drop in violence are still unclear. The militia's recent stand-down may be just an attempt to wait out the U.S. military, which will begin drawing down its numbers in the next few months. After suffering heavy losses in pitched battles in 2004, the militia has sought to avoid open confrontations with U.S. forces. The Americans must eventually leave and the Mahdi Army will remain in some form. Still, says Sauer, "Every day that goes by without violence is a win" - a window of opportunity for American troops and their Iraqi allies to weaken...
