...they do it? For the same reason you do it. Oh, yes, you do. The temptation to embroider an anecdote is nearly universal. Did Uncle Charlie really parade around the house stark naked when he got drunk that time, or did he just strip to his underwear? Did it really snow 3 ft. in half an hour during that storm last winter? It's a long way from this to imagining that you were adopted by wolves during the Holocaust, but you can sort of get what Defonseca is driving at when she says in her defense that the yarn...
...energy more directly with piezoelectric, or electricity-sensitive, materials, which generate a charge when compressed. That's the principle behind one of the most innovative forms of energy-scavenging: rain-harvesting. Researchers led by Jean-Jacques Chaillout at France's Atomic Energy Commission found that a 25-micrometer-thick strip of piezoelectric material (the diameter of a thin strand of human hair) could produce about 1 microwatt per raindrop. That's barely noticeable, but it could be enough to power environmental sensors, especially in areas where condensation is constant--like the inside of a nuclear power plant's cooling towers...

...been a solid, great leader for us all three years at Harvard,” Crimson coach Peter Brand said. “He continues to amaze me in terms of his solid performances. He’s mentally very tough and when he’s on the strip he’s capable of beating just about anybody in the country. The sabre fencers didn’t fare quite as well, with the top finisher coming in the form of senior Steven Ahn in ninth place. Junior co-captain Scott DiGiulio and classmate Craig Gorin finished 19th...
