...seeds." The vault was built on the far northern Norwegian island of Longyearbyen, where the Arctic cold helps keeps the seeds viable, in case the electricity that powers the vault's cold storage should ever go. (Seeds can remain dormant but alive for centuries if they're kept cool and dry.) The location isn't an accident - should something truly horrific happen, from extreme climate change to nuclear war, remote Svalbard should remain protected, capable of rebooting global agriculture. "This is an insurance policy we know we need," says Fowler. (See the 50 best inventions...
...Despite its intriguing complexity, almost every song on the album suffers from the same shortcoming. With the exceptions of “Gifted,” “Whatchadoin?,” and “The Mayor”—in which The Cool Kids, Ghostface Killah, and Scarface spit over a DJ AM beat—the collaborations lack a raison d’être beyond the whims of N.A.S.A.

With the season’s end just four games away, seniors...
...into each clever word of his original songs about complicated romantic situations. I particularly liked his song about resurrected love, as a woman reunites with the man who joined the clergy when she spurned him 27 years ago. His “Autobiography of a Bum” was cool too. For the first fifteen minutes of the performance I imagined I was in the 1940's, a girl with her ear pressed against a radio, tuned to bluegrass. After the last few spectators wandered in, he had us go around and say our names...
