...Solar Power Soars. Tapping energy directly from the sun and converting it into electricity has long been a dream of ecovisionaries. Falling costs for equipment and steadily rising efficiency have finally brought solar power into the realm of the practical. The most solid indication that the technology is here to stay: 68 utilities, serving 40% of the nation's electricity consumers, formed a consortium to buy $500 million worth of solar-energy panels during the next six years. That promises to be just the jump-start solar manufacturers need to hold their own with the big boys...
...Douglas Green: ETA Furniture ETA stands for ''easy to assemble,'' and it is, since Green, a Maine-based designer-craftsman, has conceived, refined and started manufacturing the Arts and Craftsy pieces himself. They come in kits and are made of solid cherrywood, not veneer. The component timbers are precisely slotted and notched to fit without nails, screws or glue.

Two days after the Nobel ceremony, De Klerk, 57, sits in an ornate suite in another Grand Hotel, this one in Rome, Italy, where he awaits an audience the next day with Pope John Paul II. For someone who has just been heralded and laureled as a peacemaker...
...snatched the ball. Perl also played tight defense on Holy Cross’ leading scorer, Josh Trott, after a break in the defensive line led to Trott’s ninth goal of the season. “[Perl] came in right away and was been a solid right back this season,” Craig said. “He can defend well and can get foward in a heartbeat.” On the flip side of the coin, the inexperienced defensive play led to two shots that were able to beat Hahn, ultimately resulting in the loss...
