Within 10 years, homeowners could power their homes in daylight with solar photovoltaic cells, while using excess solar energy to produce hydrogen and oxygen from water to power a household fuel cell. If the new process developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology finds acceptance in the marketplace, electricity-by-wire from a central source could be a thing of the past.

Quoted: Aeroecology is the emerging discipline for studying how airborne organisms -- birds, bats, arthropods and microbes -- depend on the support of the lower atmosphere that is closest to the Earth's surface.

Understanding how they respond to altered landscapes and atmospheric conditions can also help mitigate adverse effects.

But as events continue to show, a more accurate - and ironic - mantra for the lawless Bush White House would be "no controlling legal authority." At the time it was delivered, Bush's acceptance speech at the 2000 Republican National Convention in Philadelphia was an arrogant, deceitful broadside against the Clinton/Gore years.

Quoted: Russian writer Alexander Solzhenitsyn, who exposed Stalin's prison system, dies at the age of 89 near Moscow.
