...Rocky Balboa”—the sixth and most unnecessary film in this hilariously classic series—take the time to review five moments that helped make the film you couldn’t help but love into the joke you just couldn’t resist: 5. Every moment with Mr. T (“Rocky III”)—If you really don’t know why this made the list, you need to go watch yourself some “A-Team.” 4. Protégé-turned...
...some form of heat exchange. In this case, it's a thermochemical one between water and salt that takes place in a vacuum. Water evaporating from a tank inside ClimateWell's refrigerator-size unit is absorbed by salt housed in a connected tank the water molecules can't resist sticking to the salt, turning it into a slurry. As water evaporates, it gives up energy, which is then released inside the salt tank. The result of the energy transfer: the water becomes colder as the salt heats up. Pipe water through the slurry into radiators, and the system can heat...
...Baker plan worry about whether there is anyone inside the Administration who can carry it out. There is widespread doubt that the Bush team is emotionally or ideologically able to execute a plan that is so at odds with its collective instincts and that many of its supporters might resist.

The Crichtonian view of humanity is that we're all a bunch of overeager meddlers, so high on greed and curiosity that we can't resist trifling with complex systems (you know--DNA, nanotechnology, alien spheres, Japan) in the name of progress, which then turn around and bite us, often literally. This view is not necessarily incorrect, and Crichton has expressed it in some first-rate, even prescient, works of genre fiction, notably Congo and Jurassic Park. (Crichton is in real life famously tall--he's usually reported...
...expedition.The exhibition follows inhabitants of the Grand Valley Dani through the cycles of daily life as shaped by war and its repercussions. While the structure of the show may be didactic, Rockefeller’s images are so compelling that it’s hard to resist comparing this self-proclaimed amateur to photographic greats. Bubriski himself does so in the exhibition catalogue, naming Josef Koudelka or Robert Frank.In Rockefeller’s most striking photographs, his male Dani subjects seem at ease with his presence. This comfort is mutual, and is revealed in the calm yet bold compositions...
