...times more expensive than prices that homeowners normally pay their local electric utility. So long as that is the case, it's hard to see how solar power can grow into a mass-market business. Many companies are trying to make that happen through technological improvements that boost the output of solar cells. Taiwan's solar startups take a different tack: they're trying to reduce the cost of solar power through more efficient production processes. Motech, for example, "has a cost advantage compared with rivals in Japan and Europe," says Nicholas Teo, who covers the company for Macquarie Securities...
...watching TV, I predict, aren't going to do well in the long run," says Jordan Grafman, chief of the cognitive neuroscience section at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS). Decades of research (not to mention common sense) indicate that the quality of one's output and depth of thought deteriorate as one attends to ever more tasks.

He also attended the Cologne Furniture Fair in Germany and sent 80% of his $3 million output to 20 countries. Through a screen of plastic bamboo along his office window, he points out the new factory he's building next door. He shows off a United Arab Emirates health-insurance card, which grants him medical treatment in Dubai, where he just opened his first foreign shop. "By Anji...
...team motivated,” Rollins said. “You play defense harder, your offense flows from that when you get a little spark like that.” In a banner night for both freshmen, it was Tay who stole the show quite literally, complimenting her offensive output with five steals and three assists. Rollins posted her career-high of 20 points in an efficient 16 minutes. For the second consecutive night, Harvard dominated the glass, pummeling the Lions, 46-26, on the boards. The Crimson pulled down a season-high 20 offensive rebounds, and co-captain Maureen...
