...supergroup” when they are anything but. To mention two supergroups of this decade, Audioslave euthanized the fury and passion of Soundgarden and Rage Against the Machine into dull, MOR post-grunge, while Velvet Revolver strengthened the case for a mandatory retirement age for heavy metal musicians. On the evidence of this eponymous debut album, Tinted Windows fits the bill of the 21st century supergroup, not its 1970s counterpart.The first rule of the 21st century supergroup is that it is less than the sum of its parts.

He sees his biggest accomplishment as elucidating the creation of carbon fluorine bonds from transition metals. He continues his work in transition metal-mediated transformations with the hope of having “an immediate impact on human health.” He explains, “There are certain problems in medical areas that may have their solutions in chemistry.

With a younger, self-consciously cool crowd and sleek, provocative décor, this bar-restaurant...
...makes. After the worldwide economic boom went bust, demand abruptly evaporated for many commodities that go into the production of houses, cars, computers, and all kinds of durable goods. The Dow Jones-AIG commodity price index has shed more than half its value since mid-2008. Due to falling metal prices, BHP Billiton in January announced the mothballing of an Australian nickel mine only eight months after it officially opened. The most visible turnaround has been in oil. A year ago, Western governments were pleading with Persian Gulf oil states to ramp up production as oil sped toward...
