...award really represents Coach Stone’s mantra for us: We’re a blue-collar team that needs to bring a lunch pail and hard hat to every game.” While it may evoke images of Boston’s Big Dig rather than the rink at Bright Arena, this mantra has yielded its results on the ice.The Crimson has won all but two of its thirteen games with a loss coming early to No. 7 Saint Lawrence and a second Tuesday to UConn. Last weekend, though, the team took...
...cost Lapindo far more to dig itself out of this particular corporate hole, however. On Nov. 22 at least 11 people were killed by a gas pipeline explosion caused when a dike built to contain the mud flow collapsed-the latest in a string of public debacles for the company, which is part of a conglomerate controlled by the family of Aburizal Bakrie, the country's influential Welfare Minister. In the past two months, Lapindo's corporate parent, PT Energi Mega Persada, has unsuccessfully attempted to unload the beleaguered mining business twice: first, to another Bakrie Group subsidiary...

But Dust Networks' self-organizing mesh networking system is pretty cool if, say, you work in industry. So too are the paper batteries of Enfucell or the flexible sensors of DeepStream. Sensors are a real big deal...
...rival in a 9-2, 9-3, 9-4 victory. The only match the Crimson lost proved the most exciting of the night. Competing in the seventh spot for the team, freshman Johanna Snyder won the first two games of her match, but allowed freshman opponent Libbey Brown to dig herself out of the hole and tie the match at two games apiece. With all of other players having already finished their matches and with the men’s match nearly complete, the entirety of the Harvard and Dartmouth teams crowded around to watch the culmination of Snyder?...
