...unwanted and tragic event," and the Serb- controlled federal government offered requisite apologies. But a shake-up in the top military command solidifying Serb dominance led to fresh worries that the army might not fully support the cease-fire. As the U.N. dispatched observers over the weekend to monitor the fragile peace, the truce appeared to be holding. Said a European diplomat in Zagreb: "Every quiet day is a great gift; we've all learned to be modest in our hopes...
...registrar. But if we turned our present exam proctors into assistants for the registrar, the office could easily handle the sudden upsurge in work. In fact, net bureaucratic administration might even be reduced, as a proctor who would normally waste three hours watching one class could easily monitor exams for several classes at once...
After much trial and error, researchers modified the contours of the blades; some, for instance, are thicker in the middle in order to provide more stability. Engineers put electronic sensors atop the towers that could constantly monitor wind direction and turn the machine to correct for changes. The sensors do not respond to every fluctuation, but when a computer calculates a sustained 15 degrees shift, it signals for a turn into the wind. The leading American manufacturer, U.S. Windpower of Livermore, Calif., has built machines with electronic components that act as a giant surge protector, keeping sudden bursts of energy...
...some of my best friends, good Republicans," are angry enough to consider a protest vote against Bush. Another hazard for Bush is that many orthodox Republicans might simply stay home, increasing the proportional clout of conservative ideologues who are Buchanan's strongest supporters. A poll published by the Concord Monitor last week showed Buchanan getting 30% of Republican voters, vs. 58% for Bush. That 30% -- against an incumbent President -- is a respectable showing, which Buchanan can build on with a deft campaign...
...difficult to imagine that STMs might be employed by the semiconductor industry to produce minuscule electronic devices, that optical tweezers might be used by surgeons to correct defects in a single cell or that femtosecond lasers might eventually be harnessed to control, as well as monitor, chemical reactions. Speculates University of Chicago chemical physicist Steven Sibener: "In the future, combinations of these magic wands may become much more powerful than using them...
