...Sprint, it owes much of its appeal to Motorola's revolutionary handset. But a clone is an imitation, often a pale one. My instinct is that what Motorola started with the RAZR, other companies mean to finish. The CU500 - the first phone to tap into Cingular's new "High-Speed Downlink Packet Access" (HSDPA) network - is next in a stream of upcoming slim and powerful cell phones...
Some of Bennett's need for speed is the product of a Depression-era upbringing. "The studio isn't a clubhouse," he says. "We're here to work." But it's also a critical part of his process. "Singing intimately is almost like thinking into a microphone, so it helps to have the song buried inside you." Like a method actor, Bennett goes over lyrics for days--even for songs he has sung forever--repeating them until they're second nature.

Although some Fabio from Harvard Law School had put my push-up total to shame, my first-place-winning laps around the Yard were fast-paced, yet all-too familiar. Walking away, albeit slowly, from the University Hall finish line, I realized...
...reassuring words for a country that continues to get pounded by earthquakes nearly every day, though most are not felt inland. Meteorologist Fauzi says the country only has 30 seismograph detectors for the whole country but hopes to have 160 by 2009. Critics say the country needs to speed up development of a warning system or face the consequences. "You could have 100 tsunamis over the next three years," warns Omar Nawaz, coordinating officer for the World Tourism Organizations's tsunami task force. "That is way too long to wait." Nawaz helped develop a tsunami early-warning system...
