| Earth Week Goes Green
Climate change has been a hot topic of discussion and scientific debate for years. Practical solutions to the problem are few and far between. Mason Earth Week 2007, however, strives to provide students with some practical ways to save energy and reduce their impact on the environment. This week selected Mason faculty and students will come together for, what is now known as, Mason Earth Week 2007. The planning for this event began early this spring, and now includes several events over the period from Monday, April 16 to Wednesday, April 18 .
Weekend Peep Show: Hollywood Puts on a Thinking Cap
That's what it feels like to me. And my goodness, what an array of caps there are to choose from. Ryan Gosling and Anthony Hopkins go for something dark and textured. The kooks behind (and all up on the screen in) Hot Fuzz have a cap so funny that they should have lent it to Meg Ryan. Calm down, I only tease those I love. VacancyMy most cynical East Coast friends who hit early screenings of this scary movie say that Vacancy stays with you, follows you into bed and hides underneath it, not letting you sleep safe ever again. That's good enough for me. Oh yeah, Luke Wilson and Kate Beckinsale are in it, and yet there are no cliché nice-guy jokes or slinky black vampire suits. Good work there, guys!

Lamps supplier asks Ombudsman: Probe complainant
CEBU CITY -- A contractor of the multi-million-peso lampposts deal has turned the tables on Crisologo Saavedra, whose complaint provoked an anti-graft investigation on the allegedly overpriced purchase.

Saavedra, however, said that the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) illegally rescinded his contract last November 29, because he did not give in to DPWH officials demand for a 15 percent kickback.
They are trying to justify the overpriced lampposts.
