...winter feel-good movie is concerned, “The Bucket List” does not make any effort towards radical innovation. But between Jack Nicholson’s wryly inappropriate humor and Morgan Freeman’s unmatched gravitas, it entertains. Guided by the sure hand of Rob Reiner, director of classics including “When Harry Met Sally” and “The Princess Bride,” the viewer can leave the theater a little more grateful for the simpler things. Edward Cole, played by Jack Nicholson, and Carter Chambers, played by Morgan Freeman...
...Peter Girguis, a assistant professor of organismic and evolutionary biology, developed a fuel cell with a grant from the Lindebergh Foundation. These microbes produce extra electrons when they respire anaerobically. Girguis’ invention contains electrodes which gather these up, producing enough power to charge an LED lightbulb. One bucket costs about $15 and is estimated to last 15 years...

After a jumper from Budischak, Wildcats senior Ashley Cerniglia hit a three-pointer, and sophomore Candace Williams—who finished with a double-double of 10 points and 12 rebounds—had a bucket to trim the lead to two. But three-pointers from co-captain Jessica Knox and junior Niki Finelli helped give Harvard a 12-point cushion with 13:07 to go. An 18-7 run by New Hampshire brought it back within two, but the Crimson sank its free throws...
