...supplies of petroleum become scarcer and more costly, the notion of hydrogen-powered cars becomes more appealing. Hydrogen provides a tremendous boom for its bang: burning hydrogen releases more energy per pound of fuel than any other material on earth. Spurred by the key invention of the fuel cell, which allows for a controlled consumption instead of a rocket-launching burn, automobile manufacturers have developed concepts for hydrogen-powered cars, touting their vehicles as the future of transportation. Last week, for instance, General Motors announced that it will place 100 hydrogen-fueled cars on the road next year, with...
...down yourself. Instead, listen to Confi and start with Ryan’s cross-listed class, Comparative Literature 161, “Modernist Movements.” In typical Lit fashion, it serves up an otherwise tired topic with interdisciplinary, multilingual style. Along with the standard Eliot and Pound, students read in several languages, listen to sound poetry, and critique Expressionist art. Sweet. Although the prospect of coming up with a junior paper topic and an area of study in the one-on-one junior tutorials is daunting, concentrators often rank the class among their favorites.

(The canister stores a pound of coffee and can also keep baked goods fresh.) The true java junkie knows the best way to achieve great freshness is to roast the raw coffee beans yourself. Ordinarily, that can be a messy endeavor. Not with the new I-ROAST 2, which streamlines the process...
...gave it the old college try, and that seemed to backfire. Throughout the tournament the U.S. played pressure defense, one of the staples of the college game. But the Greeks countered by drawing amped-up U.S. defenders out high, and slipping their big men - like 6-10, 280-pound baby-Shaq center Sofoklis Schortsanitis - down low, where they were open for easy buckets (Schortsanitis finished with 14 points on 6 of 7 shooting). Without a single NBA player on their roster, the Greeks executed the most basic NBA-type play - the pick and roll - to near-perfection. So here...
