...sweeps week - that time of year where plot lines get thrown out the window as network executives feverishly pray that ratings will follow them through the roof. Four weeks a year, networks inundate the TV-viewing public with a veritable flood of plot-twisting, cringe-inducing, shark-jumping moments in the hopes they'll tune in - please, just tune in - in order to give the networks a vital boost during the critical periods when Nielsen Media Research takes its regular survey of TV viewing habits.

Still, law schools like Miami's may be one of the best untapped sources. Other programs, like Yale Law School's ROOF Project, also send students into local communities to aid foreclosure cases, but UM's is one of the first to create a paid fellowship.

Now SunPower Corp. uses it to assemble the world's most efficient solar panels, including a sleek array on its roof. That's where Dinwoodie, SunPower's chief technology officer, likes to go to look across the bay at a collection of hulking tanks in which Chevron stores fossil fuels...
...where rooftop installations have doubled for two years in a row, to 50,000, heading to the state goal of 1 million by 2017. The San Francisco utility Pacific Gas & Electric, which recently bolted the U.S. Chamber of Commerce over climate policy, has 40% of the nation's solar roofs in its territory. SunPower now has more than 5,000 employees. It's building massive power plants for utilities, as well as roof panels for big-box stores, complete subdivisions and individual homes. Prices are plummeting, and competition is fierce, most of it from California firms like BrightSource, Solar City...
