...course, we had to fight for terminal time at the Science Center to run our little training programs on the resident minicomputer. In retrospect, I think we must have been the last class in which everyone typed (and laboriously retyped) their theses and sniffed the vaguely intoxicating fumes of liquid paper. On return visits to campus in the early eighties I’d notice the steady proliferation of PCs (and later Macs). The tools we used to learn and create were evolving, and the clacky typewriter was being left behind...
...security cameras help to retroactively identify a crime’s perpetrator. He recalls a string of projector thefts at the Kennedy School of Government in March 2003 when the thief, a repeat offender, was caught on camera coming out of a classroom with a liquid crystal display projector. The next day, HUPD obtained a warrant for the perpetrator’s arrest...

Acid-etched across the front window, the artist's museum piece seeks to challenge "the ethnographic perceptions of Aboriginal culture and traditions," says...
...Gulf's busy oil-and-gas industry doesn't help matters. Extracting those resources below the Gulf floor is like sticking a straw into the ground and sucking out all the liquid: ultimately you pull up the very material that's holding up the surrounding terrain. One study found that the greatest loss of Gulf wetlands coincided with the greatest extraction of oil and gas in the 1970s and '80s. Houston is thought to be sinking for much the same reason...
...trend. “This is the first year that Mather has taken the contest seriously, and we have future projects planned,” he said. Artz described the planned conversion of toilets from single- to dual-flush toilets so that users will have the option of flushing liquid waste with half the amount of water as that for solid waste. “I think this will be lasting change for years to come,” Artz said. —Staff writer Matthew S.
