...Gets a Boost "Not a Watt to be Wasted" attracted my interest with its idea of using bridge vibrations to generate electricity [March 17]. A far greater source of energy is the ocean's tides. Off the coast of New England, tides rise and fall up to 4 m twice a day. How about generating electricity from floating pistons on the ocean? Unlike dams, floating pistons would be friendly to marine life; they would not silt up bays and would be far less expensive to construct. Just north of Maine, in the Bay of Fundy, a moon tide...
...watt to be wasted" attracted my interest with its idea of using bridge vibrations to generate electricity [March 17]. A far greater source of energy is the ocean's tides. Off the coast of New England, tides rise and fall 8 ft. to 12 ft. twice a day. How about generating electricity from floating pistons on the ocean? Unlike dams, floating pistons would be friendly to marine life; they would not silt up bays and would be far less expensive to construct. Just north of Maine, in the Bay of Fundy, a moon tide can be 50 ft. If intermittent...
...Huskies made one last attempt to get back in the game. Three goals brought UConn within five, but that was as close as they could get.Half of Harvard’s goals on the day were off of assists. Four of them from Flood, who connected with Martin twice. “We started getting the ball through the middle of the field,” Miller said. “We did a good job of swinging it back and then moving it to the other side.” The defense did its part...
...Israel suits McCain politically. His pro-Israel stance, which he has long maintained, is bound to help his electoral prospects back home with American Jews and, more crucially, with Evangelical Christians who are a large part of the Republican party base, and who, until now, have regarded the twice-married McCain as too liberal and hard to pigeonhole. A recent Pew Poll says that 65% of Evangelicals believe that the state of Israel fulfills a biblical prophecy about Jesus' Second Coming...
...candidacy: the possibility that, given his eloquence and intelligence, he will be able to create a new sense of national unity-not by smoothing over problems but by confronting them candidly and with civility. Unfortunately, that hasn't always been the case. In recent weeks, he has been boggled twice by policy advisers who have been caught in the act of telling difficult truths-on trade and Iraq-that the candidate himself denied on the campaign trail. Perhaps now, having learned how cathartic truth-telling can be, Obama will summon the courage to tell Pennsylvania audiences that free-trade agreements...
