...third innovation is a thumb wheel on the side which acts as a window selector. In Windows XP, you can Alt-Tab your way through all of your open windows, but you can only see the name of one window at a time. If you have 30 windows open - which happens in my house - it might take a while to find the one you want. Logitech's flipper lists all open windows with their titles, and the list appears at the twitch of your thumb...
...would be amazed at the weird variables that education researchers have found can improve student performance. They might all be factually proven, but that doesn't make them meaningful policy fodder. For instance, classroom windows. Studies have found that math scores improve when classrooms have windows - especially if the window looks out on verdant lawns. This is no meaningless improvement; it's as powerful a factor as whether computers are in the classroom. In one Fresno, Calif., study it even mattered which direction the windows were facing! (Facing east was best). But we'll never see two politicians on Meet...
Although there's only one gallery in the museum with its own window, Libeskind has provided a spectacularly angled 120-ft.-high atrium that fills with light, which it communicates to any of the many galleries that have sight lines leading to it.

"The owner of the press told me, 'If you can get it out of the basement, it's yours,'" says Webster, 29, who started Seraph Stationery a year and a half...
...report is based purely on his expertise as a scientist. He found window frames and doors, blown out outside in the eastern side of the school building, rather than inside in the western one, as should have been the case, he submits, if the official version of the explosions was correct. He also analyzed the nature of the explosions on the southern side of gym, and found that the basic explosion under the school gym window could not have been made by the terrorists' homemade device. In fact, he claims that none of the explosions within the first 22 seconds...
