Just after its co-founders conceived the start-up's objective seven years ago--to solve the problem of large-scale, global data transmission on mobile devices--a eucalyptus branch fell outside Phillip Alvelda's Oakland Hills home, where the three sat brainstorming. The tree smashed his hot tub. Alvelda, a physicist, can probably explain the energy wave given off. But he could not necessarily say what triggered him and Paul Scanlan and Jeff Annison to agree that day to combine their expertise in technology...

Phillip Morris declined to comment for this story, citing a corporate policy prohibiting comment to publications whose readership is largely under 21 years old.

...Fish said. “It was a good tournament for him—probably a little hard on him not to get the brass ring at the end,” he said.Clayton had a little more success at Columbia, going 1-1 in singles competition.

Clemente went on to take the singles title.“He lost...
...increase held across the board, without regard to cigarette type or manufacturer, and that these increases occurred without any warning to consumers. Tobacco companies used a variety of methods including design modification and increased concentrations of nicotine, according to the study which analyzed nicotine levels in cigarettes from Phillip Morris USA, Reynolds American and Lorillard Tobacco. Cigarette manufacturers are required by the state of Massachusetts to disclose nicotine yields each year. HSPH professor Gregory Connolly, another principal of the study, said in a statement, “our findings call into serious question whether the tobacco industry has changed...
