Though Harvard will not reveal the license fee paid by DuPont, it is small in corporate terms: the University takes in a total of $15 million per year from all technology licensing, a small fraction of its budget...
...Community Intelligence Fund isn't quite so democratic as the name implies. Says Morningstar mutual-fund analyst Russ Kinnel: "The name is kind of a smoke screen." Ultimately the fund's management team buys just a fraction of the thousands of picks tipsters submit. The choices are based on quantitative analysis, a computer model to screen stocks.

"Stable and unchanged does not mean normal," says Dr. David Pearle at Georgetown Medical Center. "That is cautious wording. It could be mildly or even moderately abnormal and still be stable and unchanged...
...simply ship the VEC unit, or cell. To make the tubs, two composite skins are draped over a foam model, and a thermochemical reaction causes them to harden into shape. (Because no metal bending is involved and the "thermoset" process uses chemistry, not immense heat, the molds cost a fraction of the conventional version.) The skins are then attached to a universal frame. The cell is closed and filled with pressurized water, which braces the skins together. Then composite materials are injected into the mold and catalyzed, causing the materials to harden. Unlike injection molding, a common manufacturing process...
...granddaddy of these so-called exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are SPDRS (called Spiders). Around since 1993, this security mimics the Standard & Poor's 500. Each share represents a fraction of a share of 500 companies. Your investment moves in lockstep with that well-known benchmark. Other popular ETFs include QQQs, known as Cubes and based on the NASDAQ 100, and Diamonds, based...
