Radiocarbon experts, however, rebuff both sets of charges. Choosing an unbesmirched area was one of the most important decisions they could have made at the time. Says anthropologist R. Ervin Taylor, director of the radiocarbon-dating lab at the University of California at Riverside: "If they sampled in the wrong place, then they were idiots--and I know that's not the case." Geoscientist Paul Damon, a member of the University of Arizona team that tested one of the 1988 samples, hastens to say that the swatch was selected conscientiously and on the advice of textile experts. Contradicting Adler...
...experts claimed was a recent forgery, Garza-Valdes discovered that it was covered by a lacquer-like coating produced by bacteria. Since it also had traces of ancient blood on it that should have been datable by the radiocarbon method, he took it to the University of Arizona dating lab, where scientists scraped off a sample of this natural "varnish" as well as the blood underneath it. They came up with a date of about A.D. 400--definitely not modern, but still 600 years younger than the carving's style suggested...
...night finished up with an onslaught ofnoisy hardcore, samples and a distorted/amplifiedbaritone saxophone courtesy of This Is My Rifle.As the members of the band stepped on stagedressed in fake blood-stained lab coats andfrighteningly comically painted clown faces, theaudience knew this band was going to be like noother at the Battle. At first, Rifle sounded likean impenetrable wall of sound, but soon it wasapparent that complex layers of noisy melodyundergirded the deathcore exhaust with bitterintelligence.

...Weiss adds. "I suddenly saw Surge a year ago in a rural town in the Carolinas." It seems the drink was given a trial period in small towns to see if it would catch on. Or were these towns really just ground zero for some twisted experiment on human lab rats...
Computer Science Professor H. T. Kung is now the William H. Gates Professor of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, and the new computing lab is being funded by a huge grant from Microsoft bigwigs Steve A. Ballmer '77 and Bill Gates. In February, (News, Feb. 20), we learned that Microsoft had awarded two undergraduates a year's tuition and paid internships at Microsoft. Plus let's not forget all those Harvard graduates who went on to work for Microsoft as summer interns or full-time employees, or those current students who aspire to work in Redmond. Microsoft...
