...Director, “When we planned the menu back in the summer, we accommodated for this annual rise in produce prices”—by limiting fresh fruit options and vegetables like spinach, brussel sprouts and summer squash, for example—“as per usual.” However, unexpected food price increases have made this year’s annual slump particularly bleak. According to Martin Breslin, Director for Culinary Operations, the price of chicken increased 11 percent, flour 18 percent, and milk a prohibitive 30 percent during the winter menu cycle alone...
...compared to Brown’s 54.6 percent.The Bears’ arrival today also means that Harvard must again contend with the leading scorer in the Ivy conference, Mark McAndrew. In the previous matchup, the Crimson held McAndrew to 14 points–almost three shy of his average per game–but he still poses a threat. “They’re a very difficult team—and [McAndrew] in particular—to defend,” Amaker said. “But I think that hopefully us being here [at home] will raise...

In other words, you have a limit on how often you can put a pitcher out there, let him face one batter and "let's bring in somebody else...
...principle behind one of the most innovative forms of energy-scavenging: rain-harvesting. Researchers led by Jean-Jacques Chaillout at France's Atomic Energy Commission found that a 25-micrometer-thick strip of piezoelectric material (the diameter of a thin strand of human hair) could produce about 1 microwatt per raindrop. That's barely noticeable, but it could be enough to power environmental sensors, especially in areas where condensation is constant--like the inside of a nuclear power plant's cooling towers. "When you add up all the materials and costs in powering, battery production and charging you save with...
...back on a 5-0 run to break a 12-12 tie. Junior captain Brady Weissbourd slammed down a kill in the middle of the frame to push the Crimson ahead, 20-16. Entering the match, Weissbourd was ranked second in the EIVA and led the team in kills per game with an average of .489. Weissbourd registered nine kills last night for a .583 hitting percentage...
