...some dreamers, the presence of silicon, especially, suggests a way to make a return to the moon pay--and maybe even save the environment back home. If you could set up automated lunar factories to extract the silicon and turn it into solar cells, says David Criswell, director of the Institute for Space Systems Operations at the University of Houston, the moon could become a solar power station, beaming clean energy via microwaves back to Earth. "If you want to provide sustainable energy for 10 billion people by 2050," he says, "there is no other...
According to Cunard officials, 70% of the QM2's berths have been booked through the end of 2004, and 60% of the passengers have never traveled on a Cunard ship before.

Even more important is the question of whether his capture, together with the earlier elimination of his sons, will help draw Saddam?s Baathist supporters into a new, peaceful political process. Bremer reached out to them...
...study reported in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, people who drank just 2 oz. a day for a week showed an average increase of 9% in antioxidant activity. And in a study presented at an American Association for Cancer Research conference last month, researchers found that pomegranate extract may help fight skin cancer. But this tasty health boost comes at a price: each 15.2oz. bottle of Pom Wonderful contains the juice of four fruits and retails for almost...
