...quashed her experiments in 2002. After a storm hammered San Francisco that winter, the university campus lost power; if not for the backup generators that pumped emergency electricity to its labs, countless cell cultures might have been lost. Fisher's embryonic-stem-cell lab, however, was off the campus grid, housed in a temporary facility built with private funds, which did not have a backup system. It took several days for power to be restored to that site, during which time Fisher had no other place to take her cells - she couldn't use the university incubators without jeopardizing...
...stimulus package has to begin to pay off. As its earliest investments go into helping states and municipalities keep their employees, cuts in place like California have to level off. As money goes into building the energy grid and broadband makes it into the system, job creation in those sectors has to measurably increase...
...says. That sense of communal competition is shared by Denmark's Scandinavian neighbors, and may help explain why countries like Sweden and Finland are also among Europe's greenest. On a regional level, cooperation is a necessary component of Denmark's success - the Nordic nations share an electrical grid, and Denmark can take power from its neighbors when there's no wind and sell it when the breeze blows.

Infrastructure development creates real long-term wealth, not just higher stock prices based on complex unregulated security transactions...
...series of photographs of the John Hancock Tower, taken from the MIT Boathouse, are merely flat, frontal views of the building. The pictures present the same, grid-like, glass-windowed Tower; the only noticeable difference is that they are taken with different lighting. The sole creative element of these large, vertically oriented photographs is how they are reminiscent of Monet’s paintings of cathedrals at various times of the day. Otherwise, the intent behind the series is ambiguous, as it seems only to depict a superficially beautiful image of a skyscraper. Such a representation of the Hancock Tower...
