...idea of someone else cashing in on their free computing cycles. "If somebody's making a dollar off my machine," notes David McNett, president of Distributed.net "I'd damn well want to be compensated for it." To sweeten the deal, many community computing start-ups let participants donate a portion of their computational cycles to pet biomedical charities. People who sign up with the San Diego-based firm Entropia, for instance, can allot part of their computer's time to the FightAIDS@home project, which uses distributed computing to help Arthur Olson's lab at the Scripps Research Institute search...
This Saturday, the Crimson will host Ivy foes Yale and Dartmouth at Blodgett Pool. The matches against these weaker Ivy squads should represent the easiest portion of Harvard's upcoming schedule...
...thus conclude the what's-less-than-perfect-about-Penelope-Cruz portion of this story. With her moony eyes, graceful neck, slim yet voluptuous figure, amazingly long fingers and distinctive nose, Cruz could be the love child of Sophia Loren and Ringo Starr.

The co-stars of her next four films are Matt Damon (in Billy Bob Thornton's All the Pretty Horses), Johnny Depp (in Ted Demme's Blow), Nicolas Cage...
...goes ahead, the soybean exporters could become victims of their development plans by helping produce a drought. Through evaporation, the forest recycles 7 trillion tons of water annually from the ground back into the atmosphere?as much as 50% of all the moisture it receives from rainfall. A good portion of that water vapor is carried by air currents that bounce off the Andes and head southward to drop rain on farming regions in the southern states of Mato Grosso and Goi?s, both part of Brazil?s breadbasket. In other words, no Amazon forest in Brazil?s north, no rain...
While Texas Gov. George W. Bush has not completely outlined his Social Security plan, he has indicated that he would support taking a portion of money out of the current system and placing it in private accounts. This money could then be invested in stocks and bonds, as has been advocated by Bush advisor and Baker Professor of Economics Martin S. Feldstein '61. Feldstein has argued that private investments will create a "All-Gain, No-Pain" fix for Social Security, as the swirling stock markets buoy the program to higher and higher returns. Yet pleasant fantasies may not serve...
