...Electric Lamp Sitting in a brightly lit classroom at the Stanford Business School three years ago, Matt Scott got to wondering what it would take to light the rest of the world. Artificial lighting may not seem a necessity like food or shelter, but 1.6 billion people around the globe lack access to electricity. Inspired by the Light Up the World Foundation, which promotes the use of energy-efficient light-emitting diodes (LEDs), Scott, now 31, traveled to India and in 2004 partnered with Amit Chugh to devise a market strategy for replacing the kerosene lamp.

It was anyone's bet who faced a more dire risk, the hunted in terrorist cells or the hunters in humvees, along with whom I was riding under...
...line; her tenacity led to an impressive save of Harvard’s best offensive opportunity on goal. The heart-stopping play seemed to be an omen of the team’s unfortunate luck. Not even two minutes after the whistle rang in the second half, the Bears lit up the scoreboard with what would be the deciding goal. Knoche blocked a set of Brown shots but could not stop the final rebound before it found the stick of a perfectly positioned Bear. Pummeled by a cascade of shots, Knoche refused to allow the Brown rush to develop into...
