Director of Life Sciences Education Robert A. Lue—who directs the portal’s programs—said he hopes the portal will serve as a first step towards establishing a new model for how a large university can contribute to its neighboring communities...
Power-sharing negotiations between Robert Mugabe's government and Zimbabwe's opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) have hit their first stumbling block: Weeklong talks were adjourned after the MDC rejected as "insulting" the government's offer to make opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai one of three vice presidents. (Tsvangirai won more votes than Mugabe in the first round of presidential polling on March 29; he withdrew from the runoff race in the face of a campaign of violence against opposition supporters by security forces and militias loyal to Mugabe.)

Since Scottish businessman Robert Anderson pioneered the first electric carriage in the 1830s, most electric vehicles have lacked one of the key markers of auto success: good looks.

When Stewart and Pattinson took the stage, the deafening squeals of the Twihards - Meyer's ardent readers, chiefly young and female - reverberated through the San Diego Convention Center's 6,500-seat Hall H. With Meyer's 7th book due out in early August and the film opening in December, the Twihards are in a lather - a phenomenon not lost on the film's stars.
