...important papers? Then what? In California the other day, Ava Raich packed the younger kids' special blankets, her grandfather's World War II Marine uniform and his Purple Heart, she told the Los Angeles Times. Diane Doroski fled with an antique toy carousel and her great-grandmother's butter dish. Butch Rey took his wife, three children and two parents. His sons took all their autographed baseballs and their PlayStation 2, Agence France-Presse reported...

Dish labels already include the most salient food information, from serving size and caloric content to saturated fat, total fat, protein, carbohydrate, and fiber content. Additional details are accessible on the HUDS website, a sleek, polished production designed to “defin[e] the HUDS brand voice literally and visually?...

That is to say, it listens to the faint whisper of radio signals from celestial objects like quasars, which make up the collective...
Allen's financial contribution to the project was laundry money to the likes of him--$25 million, a bargain price made possible by increases in computing power and the small (18 ft., or about 5 1?2 m) size of each dish, which makes them easy to mass-produce. But $25 million is still hard to come by when you have to tell your banker that you're using it to hunt for aliens, which is why it's nice to be a man who doesn't need a banker...
