...push for conservation doesn't end with trays. George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., is at the fore of the sustainable-dining-hall campaign. In September, it will open Southside, a $10 million 40,000-sq.-ft., 95%-sustainable dining hall.

He bought my nuggets, because I didn't really want to go to the cafeteria. I came straight to the track and my masseuse again bought me more nuggets. And I just had two though, because my coach said I should not eat so [many] nuggets before a race." Heck, if he ate three, Bolt might have shaved more time off of Johnson's record...
