...Then, as the second half started, we got a few key wins and the momentum shifted our way, and from then on we did much better.” To finish off the meet, senior Danil Rybalko (three-meter diving), Rathgeber (200 IM), and the Harvard 200 relay free team also scored victories. The wins by several freshmen and sophomore underscored the Crimson’s depth this year, and the importance of the underclassmen to the team. “The freshmen and sophomores are so important to this team,” Cocks said. “Sometimes...
...with the deaths of two teenagers from the jumble of apartment blocks that make up Clichy-sous-Bois. Bouna Traore, 15, of Malian origin, and Zyed Benna, 17, whose parents are Tunisian, thought they were being chased by police. When they took refuge with a third teenager in the relay station of a high-voltage transformer, Traore and Benna were electrocuted. Locals blamed overzealous policing for the deaths, although an official inquiry late last week found that there had been no pursuit. That evening an angry group demonstrated in front of a nearby fire station, setting off a rolling wave...
...Anger and resentment have been long brewing in the belt of immigrant misery that surrounds Paris, where jobs are rare and poverty rampant. It exploded last Thursday night when two teenagers in the northeastern banlieue of Clichy-sous-Bois were electrocuted after they climbed into a electric relay station and touched a high-voltage transformer. The youths-one Malian, the other Tunisian-had apparently thought they were being chased by police after fleeing a police identity check. Though a preliminary investigation has found that they weren't being pursued, their senseless deaths were quickly blamed on the police. After...
...Force engineer Ben Adams, who hatched the idea three years ago as he lugged a generator through the Nevada desert to hook up a communications system, is negotiating this month with U.S. and Australian forces to market solar wi-fi in Iraq. Each solar-paneled access point can relay wireless signals as far as 25 miles to other stations and can connect to a series of other nodes, extending the signal from the cities to rural areas. A model linking solar panels with satellites is in the works. Ever since Boulder inaugurated its system last July, inquiries have flooded...
...weekend's toughest tasks was to get color photos back to New York City quickly. The solution: a state-of-the-art relay system that converts images into computer digits and sends them via satellite. "This allows us to get pictures of Sunday events and still ship the magazine to readers at or near the usual delivery time," explains TIME Corporate Production Director Bob McCoach. To transmit the photos, Britain's Crosfield Electronics, maker of the complex system, rounded up the sophisticated and bulky equipment and shipped it by air from London to Reykjavik...
