...workers have to travel hours each way by bus from colonias like Anapra, subdivisions that have sprung up without paved roads, water or sewer service. The homes look like preschool art projects, glued and stapled together from cardboard and plywood and tin. Bootleg power lines drop from overhead wires, loop down to the ground and are held in place by a rock, then snake through the sand to a house. Some wires are live, and arc and spit when it rains. The young women who live here are favored by the maquila bosses for their nimble fingers and obedience...
...can’t fathom how anyone could sign off on contributing $5 million to Boston without understanding how that would make Cambridge feel,” Galluccio says. “Leaving us out of the loop was a major setback to our relations...

Harvard would then alternate wins with losses for the rest of the season, beating Princeton, losing to Penn, topping Columbia and falling to Cornell...
...human brain to truly incorporate prosthetics into its body map requires feedback: the brain will only become aware of its new limbs if they make their presence known. To see how the monkeys might respond to this kind of anatomical extension, Nicolelis is creating a feedback loop between the monkeys and the robotic arm. In the next experiments the monkeys will have sensors attached to their bodies, so that the robotic arm delivers tactile sensations directly to their skin. When the monkey's brain waves impel the robotic arm to grasp a piece of fruit, for example, the animal will...

To stand up to repeated scrutiny, his work is suitably complex (he uses drums, oboes, strings and synthesizers), but the melodic core is strong (he has released solo piano versions of some songs). He doesn't find his field limiting: "If I had been composing only popular music in Japan, I would not have had the opportunity to hear...
