Brown's hard asphalt track, covered with a thin layer of rubber, proved ideal for Crimson hurdlers Chuck Johnson and Kim Stevens, who cruised to victory in the 100 high and 400 intermediate hurdles, recording impressive times...
...excavations uncovered "layer upon layer of stratified human burials, decorated pottery, weapons, ornaments and a plethora of metal tools," Gorman said. A total of 18 tons of pottery, stone and metal objects were collected and transported to the UPenn museum, he added...
...heats the water and stirs up convection currents; cooler water sinks to the bottom while warmer water rises to the surface, where its heat quickly escapes into the atmosphere. In a solar pond, these currents are suppressed by dissolving salt near the bottom of the pond. That creates a layer of denser, heavier water that resists rising to the top even when it is heated by solar rays penetrating the pond. The lighter layer of water at the surface helps to contain the heat below by acting as an insulator. Since very little heat escapes, the temperature at the bottom...
Evidence of this prehistoric jaunt was reported last week by U.S. geologists who had been excavating hillside sediments that were once part of the lake. The geological team, led by Kay Behrens-meyer and Leo LaPorte of the University of California at Santa Cruz, found seven footprints in a layer of sediment dated by radioactive clocks to be 1.5 million years old. All the prints apparently belonged to the same individual. One of them showed unmistakably that he, or perhaps she, had slipped while walking...

It is a devastating film-within-a-film-one that rocks not only the audience but also...
