...Number 1 (Christopher Plummer) is a cautious, shriveled type, who rules the gang from atop a throne in the remains of a former church and prefers to hide from the mechanical beasts. Given that the dolls are about eight inches tall and the mechanical beasts appear to be the size of dinosaurs or giant arachnids, this seems rational enough. The dolls have no needs (not for air, food or fuel, although they find an occasional lightbulb useful) and neither do the machines, so you'd think everyone could go to their respective corners and mind their own business while enjoying...
...rely on annual payments from the endowment for more than half their income. The Faculty of Arts and Sciences, the University’s largest school and home of Harvard College, drew 52 percent of its revenues from the endowment last year. Planning for a precipitous drop in endowment size has already resulted in $77 million in budget cuts at FAS, and administrators are looking to cut another $143 million this year from a budget of just over $1 billion...
...releases and a smattering of collaborations and compilations, but on “The Blueprint 3,” his eleventh LP, Jay-Z aligns quantity with quality, reaffirming his status as one of hip-hop’s greats.Instead of chopping just one lyrically weak foe down to size with his usual scathing battle raps, Jay sent a whole slew of cookie-cutter rappers running for cover in early June with an airwave alert in the form of “D.O.A.

Cutler insists that the ostentatious wealth was not a focal point during filming. “I think one of the things the film succeeds at doing...
While the sheer number and size of the found animals were extraordinary - and made possible because the volcanic crater's ecology had been virtually undisturbed by humans - the scientific discovery of new species is actually quite routine. In fact, biologists are identifying new species at a torrid rate, about 50 a day; nearly 17,000 new plants and animals were described in 2006 alone, or some 1% of the 1.8 million species that have been recognized so far.
