Firefighters were dispatched to the scene at 2:14 p.m. Thursday, after hot exhaust from a generator escaped from a ventilation system and ignited insulation in the attic of McCulloch Hall, according to Boston Fire Department Spokesman Steve MacDonald. He said that roughly 35 firefighters responded and noted that the building’s sprinkler system was activated...
...traditionally one of the slowest weeks on Hollywood's calendar. All new movies are subject to the law of gravity, even a smash like New Moon. In 17 days, the interspecies love story sold more than 35 million tickets in North America alone, and it was bound to exhaust its fan base at some point. Meanwhile, The Blind Side's constituency, skewing older than New Moon's teen-vixen pack, took its time catching up with the movie's eloquent word of mouth. But no one need feel sorry for New Moon. Its domestic gross, $255.6 million, is nearly double...
...rental program, but even with that imported expertise, the number of people who wind up as tenants probably won't be large. There are many alternatives that must be pursued first, including loan modification and trying to sell the house for less than it's worth.

...bagless vacuum cleaner, would devise a bladeless fan. Since the invention of the electric fan in the late 19th century, the air-stirring apparatus has not changed in any significant way - a quick Google Images search suggests that every model from the classic 1950s table fan to the industrial exhaust fan to a Batman-inspired fan has one consistent, characteristic feature: rotating blades. But Dyson did away with those, replacing them with a graceful ring set atop a cylindrical base. In essence, the device works like a vacuum cleaner in reverse. The motor in the base of the fan sucks...
That might make Costa Rica technically carbon-neutral, but it would still leave venues like the capital of San Jose "choking" with factory pollution and Central America's notoriously black bus exhaust, says Roberto Jimenez, a Yale MBA who recently started the activist group co2neutral2021.org. "If there is a country in the world that can [achieve carbon neutrality], it's Costa Rica," says Jimenez, but he warns that the country's emissions "continue to grow unchecked." The Arias government is toying with the lofty idea of building a super-modern, solar-powered monorail system in the capital to acheive carbon...
