...energy future: a wireless network powered by the sun. The $10,000 project, which covers a six-block area, allows anyone to connect to the Internet through wi-fi transmitters powered by solar panels on nearby rooftops. The panels collect the sun's rays even on cloudy days and hook up to batteries that store 72 hours' worth of power, ensuring a steady supply. "It was a snap to hook up--no wires, no drilling," says Gerard Cote, spokesman for Downtown Boulder Inc., the business group that footed the bill.

Atlanta legend Cee-Lo, who lends his Southern-fried crooning to “Benzi Box,” has stolen tracks from the likes of Jay-Z and Outkast with his ridiculous flow, and his rapping skills are sorely missed here...

Regarding that behavior, Mansfield wondered if “hook ups,” which he initially referred to as “polymorphous promiscuity” are good for women. “Hook ups,” the perennially-dapper professor said, “will get you in a bad habit that is very hard...
