...Matsui says of the pictures of the two, partially nude, on a beach in Hawaii. On the oppposing wall hang blown-up “drunken” snapshots, lit by the dim glow of a red fabric chandelier. A cluster of dangling plastic circles and thin red fabric adorn the ceiling, a red shag rug the floor, and a full-length mirror the far wall. “We like to strut before we go out,” Matsui says. The pair found an eccentric fix for their bare bathroom walls: Japanese porn. Dozens of rectangular cutouts from...
...about it in storybooks or seeing pictures, this isn't something the kids would get to experience," she says. Such enthusiasm has helped thousands of farmers like Siegel to thrive in the growing business of agricultural tourism. At a time when profit margins for crops have been slashed razor thin by rising costs, "you have to consider agritainment," says Kay Hollabaugh, president of the North American Farmers Direct Marketing Association. An estimated 62 million people visited farms in 2001, the latest figures available. Annual agritourism revenues range from $20 million in Vermont to $200 million in New York. In Hawaii...
...Specter said he was "impressed" by the range of cases Miers had handled in civil practice. But his tone was wait and see: "I think the critical factor, as usual, will be the hearings--perhaps a little more important for Ms. Miers than others because her record is so thin...
Civilians can benefit too. Iowa Thin Film Technologies already sells solar-powered radio headsets and rolls of its 13-in.-wide electricity-making plastic through a business unit, PowerFilm Solar. Konarka has partnered with another firm to design juice-generating clothing. For day hikers, Washington-based Reware sells backpacks embedded with lightweight, sun-sensitive plastic chargers that can juice cell phones and iPods. Roughing it has never been easier...
...could help solve the world energy crunch. But Michael Flickinger, 54, founding director of the University of Minnesota's Biotechnology Institute, has found a way to make hydrogen--and then electricity--from genetically engineered bacteria embedded in the adhesive latex polymer particles that form the basis of most paints. Thinly coated onto plastic or metals, the polymers, which are infused with bacteria, are permeable to gases and nutrients. The coatings--about two-thirds the thickness of a sheet of paper--jump to life when exposed to light and begin making hydrogen gas, which can be captured in fuel cells...
