Saturday’s Lone Star Duals signaled a rough weekend for the Crimson as the team lost its three dual meets with Eastern Michigan, Stanford and Cal State Fullerton by scores of 38-13, 25-10 and 29-16, respectively...
...from cars 22% by 2012 (a move that nine automakers challenged in court last week) and allow hybrid vehicles to use carpool lanes on freeways. He created the 25 million-acre Sierra Nevada Conservancy, the biggest nature conservancy in the state. He signed a bill prohibiting sale of .50-cal. guns, and came out for a ban, to take effect in 2012, on force-feeding ducks, which is how foie gras is produced. "Arnold is the leading indicator of the revenge of the political moderates," says Paul Saffo, a director of the Institute for the Future, a Silicon Valley think...
...want to make their favorite goodies with fewer carbohydrates and less sugar (and for people, like diabetics, who have to watch their sugar intake for health reasons), Splenda and Equal have introduced baking blends. Equal Sugar Lite--a mix of sugar, maltodextrin, aspartame, acesulfame potassium (a common no-cal sweetener) and artificial flavor--can be substituted for real sugar on a cup-for-cup basis in recipes; the result is foodstuffs with half the calories and carbs. Splenda Sugar Blend for Baking is part granulated sugar and part no-calorie sweetener sucralose. You need only half as much...

The roof is engineered to thwart the blast of a 155-mm artillery shell exploding overhead, and the floor is reinforced to protect passengers from a bomb...
Sure, teams will still complain and will still feel cheated (just look at the effigies of NCAA committee members hung at Wofford in 2002 or the disappointment of Lehigh last season or Cal Poly this year). And they’ll make vociferous complaints. The point of those complaints, however, will be that those teams belonged in the field, not that the legitimacy of the eventual national title winner should be questioned...
