...Moniz is also the Director of MIT's Energy Initiative, called MITEI. And he and President Hockfield just showed me some of the extraordinary energy research being conducted at this institute: windows that generate electricity by directing light to solar cells; light-weight, high-power batteries that aren't built, but are grown -- that was neat stuff; engineering viruses to create -- to create batteries; more efficient lighting systems that rely on nanotechnology; innovative engineering that will make it possible for offshore wind power plants to deliver electricity even when the air is still...
Overall: Lots of shouting and high-strung emotions in this episode. We’re not quite buying Pam’s reaction, but everything else is pretty funny. Plus, in classic Office fashion, Michael even gets his redeeming moment of humanity when he demands to know why he’s such a bad guy.

From 9-11:30 a.m., the team will hold a morning practice available for public consumption. Make your way across the river to Harvard’s high school gymnasium (er, Lavietes Pavilion) to catch a glimpse of a Crimson squad much improved from last year.

"If the sewage is not treated, there will be a high level of metallic elements in the sea, including mercury," says Mohamed Elmi, the World Health Organization's Middle East regional adviser for food and chemicals. "[Mercury] affects your nervous system and your mental capability and capacity. It's a very poisonous metal. And if there is a high level...
...early to judge if Johnson was right. In 1984, when French far right politician Jean Marie Le Pen made a high-profile TV debut, his Front National party received a substantial boost in the polls. Griffin's shambling performance didn't on the face of it seem likely to gain him many converts and may have cost the BNP future votes. Some viewers may have been startled by the revelation that Griffin had once shared a platform with Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, and won't have been reassured by Griffin's risible statement that the KKK is "almost...
