...nearly 80% of women in their 20s and 30s will be purchasing chocolate on Valentine's. Women spend about $20 for their truffle-worthy honmei, and an obligatory $6 each for their sweet-toothed coworkers, of which the average Japanese female knows six. That roughly comes out to $56 per woman, not to mention the accompanying gifts ($66 on average) and the fancy dinners that she pays...
...things, you can get lost,” Reeves said. Nolan retaliated with statistics from the 2005 fiscal year that compared Cambridge school expenditures with those of two other top public school districts in Massachusetts, Brookline and Somerville. According to the statistics, Cambridge schools spent far more per student on instructional materials, professional development, and administration than the other two districts, using funds Nolan believed could be better spent elsewhere. In a burst of emotion, committee member Alfred B. Fantini said the motion would siphon money from other important areas of the budget. “If you?...
...screens and good ball reversal—both things that would happen naturally and otherwise.” After she missed the first six games of the 2005 season with a knee injury, 2006-2007 has been a coming-out party for Finelli.

You can bet that Princeton and Penn will know where she is on the court during the second round of Ivy League games...
...issue of Nature, the study showed that once a laser pulse is shot into one sodium cloud—known as a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC)—it is signficantly compressed and deccelerated. “The light pulse is slowed from 186,000 miles per second to 15 miles per hour, and is also spatially compressed from 1 kilometer to less than half the width of a hair,” Hau wrote in an e-mail. From the beginning of the experiment, a control laser is continually fired through the BECs. When the experimental laser pulse...
...Though Royal began with a highly non-Socialist reminder of the parlous state of France's finances (public debt amounts to 64% of gross national product, or 18,000 euros per citizen), she followed that up with a long list of new and expensive programs that will hardly give France the balanced budget it has lacked for decades. She vowed to increase the guaranteed minimum income from 1,254 euros a month to 1,500 euros; to increase the lowest state pensions by 5%; to have the state pay rental deposits for its poorest citizens, to offer all young people...
