...after. We're also interested in the great ideas to come--the ones still in the back of someone's mind but slowly taking form. For that reason, TIME is proud to be partnering with the History Channel and the National Inventors Hall of Fame to sponsor the Modern Marvels Invent Now Challenge. From now through Dec. 31, budding inventors can submit their ideas to historychannel.com/ invent. Next April, 25 semifinalists will be invited to exhibit what they've come up with at a national design exposition and participate in a daylong seminar with veterans of the invention field. Four...
...like Scott Podsednik's ninth-inning homer that decided Game One and Geoff Blum's 14th-inning game-winning shot in Game Three, in what was his first World Series at-bat. And in the bottom of the ninth inning of Game Four, shortstop Juan Uribe made a defensive marvel of a play by hurling himself into the left-field seats to grab a foul ball, thereby helping snuff out a Houston threat to a fragile Sox lead...

This “Wintergarten,” as Kayden dubs it, would be connected to Loker and include places to eat and hang out, transforming a rarely tread-upon grassy knoll into an architectural marvel. A space-y pipe dream? Not necessarily: the Provost, a few deans, and Special Assistant to the Dean Zachary A Corker ’04 have all seen the study. Echoing the rest, Corker pronounced it “great.” Whether the plans are put into effect...
