...institutions with a commeasurate financial responsibility, Hanken added. According to Hanken, each cornerstone institution would take on a different part of the project, and Harvard’s tasks—including creating the “Biodiversity Heritage Library”—would be among the pricier ones. “The digitization of the science literature alone could cost up to $30-$35 million or more,” he said. Yesterday’s press release lists a $10 million grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and $2.5 million grant from...
Whereas fair-trade coffee is pricier than the conventional stuff, Bass insists that Fair Indigo clothing is just as stylish as other brands and its quality is just as high?only minus the markup for the do-good aspect.

...most popular model is the TH-42PX60U, which Wal-Mart and Amazon.com sell for under $1,400 (if you can find it). There's another Panasonic plasma with an even better price tag, the $1,300 TH-42PX6U. It delivers the exact same picture quality as the pricier one, but just so you know, it doesn't have front A/V inputs, which gamers like, and it doesn't have an SD card slot for reviewing photos you took with your digital camera...
