...Although Britain has a strong arms and defense industry, environmentalists say a revolution in substitute fuels and renewables requires the backing of the U.S. military, whose procurement and R&D budgets dwarf those of other nations. (Last year, the U.S. Department of Defense spent $79 billion on internal R&D; the British armed services spent $4 billion.) And while the Department of Defense (DOD) has not formalized green technology into its strategic documents, it has sponsored numerous studies that call for it to wean itself off what it's dubbed "POL" - petroleum, oils and lubricants - in favor of alternative fuels...
Constructing a strong framework around the shakier parts of the program was the key. To that end, Geithner spent the first part of the press conference talking about all the other programs he and the rest of the federal government have so far unveiled: help with housing, consumer loans and stabilizing banks balance sheets with direct infusions of cash.

Co-captain Emily Tay—who last week was named to her third consecutive All-Ivy First Team—was all but absent last weekend in Hanover (seven points, four turnovers). Tay’s poise will be equally important as her scoring:she and backcourt mate Brogan Berry, this year’s Ivy Rookie of the Year, will have to keep turnovers low against...
...would not be a criticism. To assert that some of its tracks are just noise, utterly indescribable as anything else, would be a statement of fact. To tell the artist that the vocals on “Wavvves” are drowned out by charged chaos, or that a strong buzz of feedback stifles his melodies, would be to acknowledge his accomplishments rather than to deplore his defects. Coming from indie rocker Nathan Williams, whose music is variously categorized as crust pop, noise punk or even “shitgaze”—a descriptive variant...
