The Surf City USA Marathon.

was on Super Bowl Sunday,

February 7th, 2010. There

was a record turnout of more than

20,220 pre-registered runners and

an estimated 40,000 spectators on

race day! All 50 states were

represented this year as well as

eighth foreign countries.

Our own George Border

(Huntington Beach, Calif.) is 81

years old and completed the full

marathon in 5 hours and 22

minutes. He could have had afaster time, but

felt it was

important to greet

spectators with

hugs only 20 feet

from the finish

line. Regardless,

Border, who was

the eldest

competitor in the

m a r a t h o n ,

finished in first

place in his age

division.

Iwas recentrly awakened at 3:00 am by a

loud pounding on the door.. I sleep

upstairs so it was pretty lound.I got up and

went to the door where a drunken stranger,

standing in the pouring rain, (remember last

week) is asking me for a push.

"Not a chance," I said..."it is 3:00 in the

morning!"

I slam the door and returned to bed. Guilt,

Guilt, Guilt haunts me.

The I remembered, just a month or two ago, I got

a flat tire, did not have my cell phone or my AAACard

with me and a stranger stopped and asked if he could

...Wow..more guilt

Well, I have a short

memory," was bouncing around in my brain

Oh, that little voice...you know the one...I wonder if that

voice is bilingual..another story...I decided I should

help him!

I Jump out of bed, put on my shoes and my bathrobe

and go out into the pounding rain.

I called out in the dark "Hello, are you still there?"

"Yes," comes back the answer.

"Do you still need a push?" I call out. "

"Yes, please!" comes the reply from the dark.

"Where are you?" I ask.

"Over here on your front porch in your swing seat,"

replied the drunk. Never again!

on Feb. 20th.

It was created

by Board

Monarchs and their Western Migration to

Huntington Beach. At the event there were

hands on demonstrations for children, an

interactive show teaching kids about

butterflies (led by Helen Cohen and her

family), as well as tours of the beautiful

18-acre Nature Preserve. Thanks to

Student Volunteers from Bolsa Grande

High School for assisting with the

well as Board

Members Kay

were present to help visitors enjoy the

tremendous activities. Thanks to everyone

involved for all you did to make it such a

success. Mark your calendars for Saturday,

May 1st, 2010 for The Shipley Nature

Asign in the new, stylish

Gallery 212 says its

mission is to support

up and coming artists in

Southern California.

Appropriately, Gallery Owner

Ruth Harrell on Saturday

February 13th, 2010 paid

special tribute to an amazing

98-year-old painter-Kate

Pedigo-who sculpts, uses oil,

ink and acrylic magnificently.

Reception attendees were

wowed by Kates work.Ironically, the energetic

Leisure World resident started

first studying art when she was 60,

drawing memories of her youth in

Indiana. Almost 39 years later, she has

painted or drawn people, houses,

bridges, sunsets, countrysides,

autosyou name it.

One of the pieces drawing special

attention from many of the guests was

an acrylic called, Obsidian Abstract.

Three viewers said it was a picture of

Abe Lincoln; another said it was a sea

lion, yet another proclaimed it was a

shark. Kate said she created the art

while looking at a piece of obsidian

from different angles.

She said ink is the most difficult

artwork for her: If you make a mistake,

you have to either change what youre

drawing or throw it away. An ink

drawing she did of her Indiana home

was purchased at the showing by an

admiring couple.

The prolific artist has also

managed to write and illustrate four

books, including When Even the Cows

Were Up, and Tex-Mr. Yellow Cab.

She got to California in 1937, after

bugging her mom about the Golden

State. My mom got so tired of hearing

me talk about California that she

recommended I go there. So I got on atrain and arrived in Los Angeles. When

I got off the train, I saw some men

standing there and told myself that one

of them would become my husband.

Sure enough, she ended up marrying a

man named Tex, who became vice

president of a taxicab business. I also

ended up riding with him 18 times over

the Alaska Highway to go fishing and

see nature, she said proudly.

Today, Kates such an inspiration

to all those who meet her. Her passion

for art and life are contagious. Shes

actively involved in the Leisure World

Art Association, the Seal Beach

Historical Society and even serves as a

Video Producer for Seal Beach Channel

3 TV. The vivacious woman said shes

working on a show about the 1893

Chicago Worlds Fair. My mom

worked there and my dad helped build

some of the buildings, she said.

It was at the fair that they ran out

of dishes to serve ice cream, so a man

made pancakes, put ice cream in them,

thus creating the first Ice Cream Cone.

Kate said one of the biggest

changes shes seen in her nearly century

of life, is the evolution of the

automobile. We used to always have to

make hand signals and use a clutch, she

said. And Model Ts had no trunks, so

we put stuff on the sides.

Be sure and stop by Gallery 212

this week and see Kates creativity as

well as paintings worth admiring by

other artists. Its appropriately locatedat 212 Main St. Enjoy your visit by

chatting with Ruth and her designer

husband, Warren. The pleasant couple

will make you feel at home and we wish

them all the success in the World.

Iam starting to go around looking at possiblelong term care facilities so I can chose, if in

fact, I am ever in need of such as place...During a visit to the retirement home, I asked the

director, How do you determine whether or not

a person should be institutionalized?"'Well,' said the Director,' we fill up a bathtub,

and then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and abucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty

the bathtub..''Oh, I understand,' I said.. 'Anormal person

would use the bucket because its bigger than the

spoon or the teacup.''No.' said the Director, 'A normal person

would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near thewindow?'... I left and went home, poured myself a

State of Pennsylvania 's letterto Mr. DeVries:

SUBJECT: DEQ

File No.97-59-0023; T11N; R10W, Sec 20;

Lycoming County

Dear Mr. DeVries:

It has come to the attention of the Department of

Environmental Quality that there has been recent

unauthorized activity on the above referenced parcel

of property. You have been certified as the legal

landowner and/or contractor who did the following

unauthorized activity:

Construction

and maintenance of

two wood debris

dams across the

outlet stream of

Spring Pond.

A permit must

be issued prior to

the start of this type

of activity. A

review of the

Department's files

shows that no permits have been

issued Therefore,

the Department has

determined that this activity is in violation

of Part 301, Inland Lakes and Streams, of

the Natural Resource and Environmental

Protection Act, Act 451 of the Public Acts

of 1994, being sections 324.30101 to

324.30113 of the Pennsylvania Compiled

Laws, annotated.

The Department has been informed

that one or both of the dams partially failed

during a recent rain event, causing debris

and flooding at

d o w n s t r e a m

locations. We

find that dams of

this nature are

i n h e r e n t l y

hazardous and

cannot be

permitted. The

D e p a r t m e n t

therefore orders

you to cease and

desist all

activities at this

location, and to

restore the

stream to a free-flow condition by removing all wood

and brush forming the dams from the stream channel.

All restoration work shall be completed no later than

January 31, 2010.Please notify this office when the restoration

has been completed so that a follow-up site inspection

may be scheduled by our staff. Failure to comply with

this request or any further unauthorized activity on

the site may result in this case being referred for

elevated enforcement action..

We anticipate and would appreciate your full

cooperation in this matter. Please feel free to contact

me at this office if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

David L. Price

District Representative & Water Management Division.

Here is the actual response sent back by Mr. DeVries:

Re: DEQ File No. 97-59-0023; T11N; R10W, Sec. 20;

Lycoming County

Dear Mr.Price,

Your certified letter dated 12/17/09 has been handed to

me to respond to. I am the legal landowner but not the

Contractor at 2088 Dagget Lane, Trout Run, Pennsylvania.

A couple of beavers are in the (State unauthorized)

process of constructing and maintaining two wood 'debris'

dams across the outlet stream of my Spring Pond. While I did

not pay for, authorize, nor supervise their dam project, I think

they would be highly offended that you call their skillful use

of natures building materials 'debris.

I would like to challenge your department to attempt to

emulate their dam project any time and/or any place you

choose. I believe I can safely state there is no way you could

ever match their dam skills, their dam resourcefulness, their

dam ingenuity, their dam persistence, their dam

d e t e r m i n a t i o n

and/or their dam

work ethic.

These are the

beavers/contractors

you are seeking. As

to your request, I do

not think the beavers are aware that they must first fill out a

dam permit prior to the start of this type of dam activity.

My first dam question to you is:

(1) Are you trying to discriminate against my Spring Pond

Beavers, or

(2) do you require all beavers throughout

this State to conform to said dam request?

If you are not discriminating against

these particular beavers, through the

Freedom of Information Act, I request

completed copies of all those other

applicable beaver dam permits that have

been issued. (Perhaps we will see if there

really is a dam violation of Part 301,

Inland Lakes and Streams, of the Natural

Resource and Environmental Protection

Act, Act 451 of the Public Actsof 1994, being sections

324.30101 to 324.30113 of

the Pennsylvania Compiled

Laws, annotated.)

I have several dam

concerns. My first dam

concern is, aren't the

beavers entitled to legal

representation? The Spring

Pond Beavers are financially

destitute and are unable to

pay for said representation

-- so the State will have to

provide them with a dam

lawyer.

The Department's dam

concern that either one or both of the dams

failed during a recent rain event, causing

flooding, is proof that this is a natural

occurrence, which the Department is required

to protect. In other words, we should leave

the Spring Pond Beavers alone rather than

harassing them and calling them dam names.

If you want the damed stream 'restored'

to a dam free-flow condition please contact

the beavers -- but if you are going to arrest

them, they obviously did

not pay any attention to

your dam letter, they being

unable to read English.

In my humble

opinion, the Spring Pond

Beavers have a right to build their unauthorized

dams as long as the sky is

blue, the grass is green and

water flows downstream.

They have more dam rights

than I do to live and enjoy

Spring Pond. If the

Department of Natural

Resources and

Environmental Protection lives up to its name, it should

protect the natural resources (Beavers) and the environment

(Beavers' Dams).

So, as far as the beavers and I are concerned, this

dam case can be referred for more elevated enforcement

action right now. Why wait until 1/31/2010? The Spring

Pond Beavers may be under the dam ice by then and

there will be no way for you or your dam staff to

contact/harass them.

In conclusion, I would like to bring to your attention

to a real environmental quality, health, problem in the

area It is the bears! Bears are actually defecating in our

woods. I definitely believe you should be persecuting

the defecating bears and leave the beavers alone. If you

are going to investigate the beaver dam, watch your dam

step! The bears are not careful where they dump!

Being unable to comply with your dam request, and

being unable to contact you on your dam answering

machine, I am sending this response to your dam

office.

THANK YOU,

RYAN DEVRIES & THE DAM BEAVERS

A Scorpion Bowl is an alcoholic concoction

mainly served in Chinese restaurants. It contains fruit

juice (typically orange and lemon juice) and rum

(usually a dark rum like Myers, or a Jamaican Gold

rum), brandy. Most recipes also call for orgeat (almond)

syrup. Amaretto liquor may be

substituted for the orgeat & the

brandy. Gin is frequently added to

increase the strength of the drink.

While the above ingredients can be

pre-mixed together, a champagne

"floater" is best added last.

There are various ways to

serve a Scorpion Bowl. Generally it

is served in a large bowl with an

umbrella, fruit and straws. The

Scorpion Bowl may be considered

the "mother of all drinks" due to its

size and presentation in a large volcano bowl, a 48

ounce vessel with a ceramic volcano in the center.

Served with dry ice, an orchid, and some 151 proofalcohol aflame in the volcanic center, the drink gives the

appearance of a mysterious tropical island.

The etymology of the term "scorpion bowl" is said

to derive from the practice of placing a dead scorpion

within the bowl and requiring the drinker to find said

creature by drinking until all liquid is consumed

2 oz. Gin 1 oz. Rum, dark 2 oz. Rum,

overproof/151 proof 2 oz. Rum, white 2 oz. Vodka 2 oz.

Grenadine 4 oz. Orange Juice 4 oz. Pineapple Juice Fill

pitcher with about 10 oz. of ice. Add liqueurs. Mix in

juice, top with grenadine and then stir well. Makes

enough for 2-5 people. ChaCha again!

So, try one at Roy at Li's Restaurant corner of

Adams and Magnolia. Bring a friend, though... much to

large to consume alone plus you need to be talking and

looking as you are sipping.

Arnaud Dufour

The information contained in this column does

not necessarily reflect the opinion of The Local News.

Do you ever feel powerless over financial

markets? Last week the Fed directedmarkets by raising the Fed Funds Rate.

Other factors that have impacted themarkets lately are credit concerns in

Greece. Dubai made a similar impact on

financial markets in November of 2009.Then there's CIT, AIG, GMAC, Fannie

Mae, Freddie Mac and other companiesthat top the hundreds of corporations

that have significantly impacted the

American economy. Do you ever feellike we're all just along for the ride? Is

there anything we can do to control ourown destiny?

Well, this time the American

consumer grabbed the spotlight as the primary driving force. February's

Consumer Confidence Rating (releasedlast week) was the lowest since April of

2009. It sent a clear message to Wall

Street that American consumers are not

confident that the economy isrecovering. Our #1 concern remains

focused on jobs. Those who don't have jobs don't have money to spend. Those

who have jobs aren't assured of keepingit. Without that assurance, it's more prudent to

save than spend. Although this news was poorly

received by the stock market, it gave a sharpboost to bonds and improved mortgage rates.

Our economy thrives on consumerism.Consumer spending accounts for 70% of

America's Gross Domestic Product. It is the

economic engine that drives all remaining partsof our country. When consumer spending

subsides, all other aspects of our economy are

hurt. When businesses don't make sales, they hire

less and lay off more. Lower sales receipts andhigher unemployment also mean lower tax

revenues for local, state and federal governments.

Former Fed Chairman, Alan Greenspan

recognized the importance of ConsumerConfidence. In his mind this was one of the

most significant indexes to watch. He eventracked the sale of men's underwear, a statistic

that became known as the Underwear Index.

His theory was that very few people ever saw aman's underpants. Under tight economic

conditions, this inexpensive necessity would be

one of the first items men would

cut back on purchasing. Whenconfidence returns, the build-up in

demand would leadunderwear sales as

one of the first areas

to bounce back.The power of

the dollar is not newto us. When we don't like the way a company

treats us, the most effective statement of

disapproval is to take our business dollarsaway from them. The Consumer Confidence

data measures this same sentiment on alarger scale. This month's worse than

expected rating sends a clear message to both

Wall Street and Washington, D.C. that we'renot buying in to this recovery. The system

is still broke and we're not ready to spend ourhard-earned dollars until we're convinced

otherwise. Our almighty dollar has spoken!

Of course, if consumer spending

accounts for 70% of our nation's GDP, thenthe economy can't recover until we start

spending again. Isn't that just an ironic kickto the underpants?

Consumers in Control

As reported in Beach Reporter.

Surf City, Huntington Beach, California doesnt have a single paintball

park. Yet once a year the city plays host to major paintball

competitors on its beaches for three days of sold-out paintball play on

the sand. In one of former mayor Pam Houchens most significant

accomplishments during her term on HBs City Council, she pushed to get

a paintball event accepted. That was circa 2002, and eight years

later, the sporting event is returning for its seventh season inHuntington Beach.

Some residents hate it. Some love it. And the

merchants say their business shoots up over the top

during this beach-side, arena event that brings

thousands of family members of paintball

players, and the paintballers, themselves,

from around the country to Huntington

Beach. Who wouldnt love competing

on the glorious sand of Southern

Californias sun-drenched beaches

in arena filled with big blue or red

bunkers. Only the audience in the

high-rise stands can see the hiddenarmies, while on the battlefield, the

soldiers armed with paintball weapons dont

know where the enemy is approaching.

One event thats all the rage this season isPump Paintball. Requiring more marksmanship

and a different strategy, this form of paintball has

recently taken the paintball world by storm.

For those who dont know a thing a paintball, you can

attend the free event, and then decide for yourself if you think

paintball is all wet, too much mess, missing the mark, or right on

target. Word to the wise! Paintball splatters throughout the stands

and playing area. Wearing your nicest clothes is not recommended.

And after you discover your clothing is covered in red, blue, pink,

orange and yellow, you also will discover that the paint can beremoved from clothing without any permanent residue, but its best

to wash your clothes as soon as possible.

Thanks blogger... good stuff for die hard surfers looking to

catch one in early April.

ENERGY

For the first time in its 14 year history,

the Surf City USAMarathon took on a

distinctly international flavor with three

foreign runners capturing first place medals.

Canadians Karen Warrendorf (age 36) and Steven

Osaduik (age 30) won the womens marathon and

mens half respectively, while 31 year-old Aussie

Karen Barlow was the top womens half

marathoner. The lone American champ was 33

year-old Matt Wiltse of Las Vegas who won

the mens marathon in a time of 2:37:19.

Californias largest oceanfront marathon

and half-marathon featured a record 20,200

pre-registered runners from all 50 states and

eight foreign countries. With the Pacific

Ocean and Surf City iconic Pier as a backdrop,

a crowd of more than 40,000 lined PCH in

downtown Huntington Beach for near-

perfect racing conditions. An additional

35,000 spectators attended the Active

Lifestyle Expo on Friday and Saturday. For

full results, visit www.runraceresults.com and

click on Surf City USA Marathon. Additional

marathon information can be found at

www.runsurfcity.com.

For the fifth year in a row, racers used the

Run for Mobility to raise funds for the Free

Wheelchair Mission, an Irvine-based nonprofit

group that provides wheelchairs to poor people in

developing countries. More than 400 runners

raised $200,000 to send some 3,000 wheelchairs to

Haiti and other places around the world!

Notable accomplishments:

Carlsbads JP Theberge, a below-knee amputee,

finished 35th overall in the mens marathon and

qualified for the Boston Marathons able bodied

division, besting the required time by nine minutes.

Despite equipment issues, JP finished just four

minutes short of the world record.

The oldest marathon runner, 81-year-old

George Border of Huntington Beach,

finished in five hours and 22 minutes. His

time would have been quicker had he not

stopped short of the finish line to greet

friends and family. George went home

to complete the days chores.

A pair of 13-year-olds were the

youngest participants in this

year's full marathon. Joseline

Barralon of Laguna Niguel

finished in just under five and a

half hours, while Austin Geller

of Los Alamitos finished in just

under four and a half hours.

Dorothy Joy, an 83-year-old

Yucaipa resident finished the half-

marathon in three hours and 23 minutes,

her best finish ever. Joy finished ahead

of 83-year-old Virginia Zarrow of

Redlands and is the Octogenarian age

group record holder.

Los Angeles resident Adrian Broca,

the nations fastest blind runner, finished

the half marathon in 1:24:51; 64th overall.

a key role in the

lifestyle issues of

Huntington Beach, Ca. Local

resident, RYAN Brown, a

veteran Assistant Coach with the

Men's Senior National Team,

has been named Head Coach of

the USA Men's Junior National

Team. Brown will take over the

Junior Team effective

immediately while also

maintaining his post as an

assistant coach with the Senior

National Team. Brown

replaces longtime coach Doug

Peabody in an effort to fully

streamline the Men's National

Team pipeline within thecoaching staffs.

Brown takes over the Junior

National Team as the National

one unified group of coaches

spanning the Senior, Junior, and

Youth programs.

The changeover in coaches

brings an end to the tenure of

Doug Peabody who led the

Junior National Team since 2004

and guided the squad to three

Junior World Championships.

"Doug Peabody has been our

Junior team coach for many

years and during this time his

commitment to the program has

been unwavering. He has

worked hard with this younger

group to prepare those kids for

the next level and many of those

Juniors are now a part of our

Senior National team program.

He deserves a lot of credit for

what he has done with the Junior

program," said Schroeder.

Brown has been an Assistant

Coach with the Men's Senior

National Team since 2006. From

2002-2005 he served as the

Head Coach of the Women's

Team at the University of the

Pacific. Brown is 2000 alum ofthe University of the Pacific

where he was an All-American

as a goalkeeper.

The USA Water Polo Men's

Junior National Team is

compromised of the top talent

in the United States aged 20

and under. The team trains and

competes annually, both

It is ironic how Americans

left England to get away

from tyrannical law.

Now, it seems they are

practicing their own brand.

There are so many weird

laws on the books that I can

hardly see how we are such afree nation.

In Pennsylvania, there

is a law that prohibits

married men from

purchasing beer without a

note from his wife. Of

course, that's probably an

old law that has hardly ever

been enforced and could be

taken off the books ifsomeone cared enough

about it. But, what in the

world was it doing there in

the first place.

Some legislature in

Pennsylvania was probably in

the doghouse until he

introduced this bill to

Congress. Then, of course most of the other legislatures

were being threatened with the doghouse if they didn't passit. Welcome to who actually wears the pants in those

households. That's pretty par for course across the country.

In Texas, it is against the law to take more than three

sips of beer in one standing. This is a law that makes no

sense at all. It is more common for a person to become

more easily intoxicated when they sit at the bar. Standing

causes a surge of blood to rush throughout the body and

the content of that blood makes for an interesting reaction.

But, standing gives your blood a consistent circulation

that keeps a person from becoming intoxicated tooquickly. I can't imagine what would have caused this law

to hit the books.

But, the banning of the beer pong game in

Huntington Beach is a law of a different kind. Most of the

beer laws on the books were made years ago and could

probably be erased if someone actually wanted to take on

the cause. But, this one is new.

New businesses in downtown Huntington Beach,

California and those renewing their entertainment licenses

will not be allowed to host

beer pong games. The police

chief of Huntington Beach

wrote local businesses a few

months ago to discourage

them from allowing their

patrons to play beer pong or

they would have a difficulttime renewing their

entertainment licenses.

That's political arm twisting

at its best.

But, the city council

just voted that decision into

law. It's all because beer

pong encourages drinking.

Cups are placed in a triangle

formation at one end of thetable and contestants take

turns throwing ping pong

balls down the table with the

hopes of making a shot in a

cup. The cups are filled half

way with beer and when the

opponent makes a shot, you

have to drink.

The arguments in city council included such

language that beer pong promotes excessive drinking. Ofcourse, that totally negates the fact that people willingly

play the game. They can also willingly walk away from

the game when they decide they have had enough to

drink. But, the laws been passed and that's that.

With each state having at least one weird beer law,

everyone's a victim to what I like to call the Squeaky

Wheel Syndrome. That is where the squeaky wheel gets

attention, then more come out of the woodwork

squawking like a bunch of hens in the henhouse. The

laws change drastically without regard for commonsense sometimes. But, it is a good thing to encourage

people to do their drinking at home and to discourage

lewd behavior.

tasting new beers and attending beer events. Staying up to

date on new innovations in beer and beer products keeps

Stan on top of the beer world. You can read a great deal

: What is

the potential for carbon

nanotubes in battery

technology? I heard them referred to as the biggest battery breakthrough to come along in years. And

what else can we expect to see in terms of new

battery technology in coming years? - R.M.

Koncan, via e-mail

The rechargeable lithium-ion batteries now so

common in everything from iPods to hybrid carscan store twice the energy

of similarly sized nickel-

metal hydride batteries

and up to six times as

much as their lead-acid

progenitors. But these

advances are only a smallevolutionary step from the worlds

first battery designed by AlessandroVolta in 1800 using layers of metal and blotting paper

soaked in salt water.

With battery technology advances long overdue,

researchers are racing to develop more efficient ways

to store power. One hopeful option is in the use ofcarbon nanotubes, which can store much more

electricity by weight than lithium-ion batteries while

keeping their charge and remain durable for far longer.

But what are carbon nanotubes, and how can they

be used to store energy? Technicians skilled in working

with matter at the molecular (nano) level can arrangepure carbon molecules in cylindrical structures that are

not both strong and flexible. They have significantly

higher energy density and can store more electricity

than any currently available technology. These tubes,

each only billionths of a meter wide, essentially

become highly efficient, electrically conductive pipes

for storing and providing power.

Electrical engineers at the Massachusetts Institute

of Technology (MIT) have formed carbon

molecules into tiny springs that store as

much electricity as same sizedlithium-ion batteries

but can

maintain a

charge while dormant

for years and work well in

temperature extremes. StanfordUniversity researchers have created ink made from

carbon nanotubes that can be drawn onto paper where

it serves as a high-capacity rechargeable energy

storage medium. And University of Maryland

scientists have created nanostructures able to store and

transport power at 10 times the energy density oflithium-ion batteries.

Other technologies in development include

batteries using zinc-air, lithium-air and other

combinations of elements to provide longer run-times

between recharges. Others still are working on

prototype nuclear batteries, the trick being to make

them small enough to be practical, l et alone safe.

Of course, the accelerating growth of

nanotechnology itself, which has not yet been

thoroughly tested to evaluate potential down sides,

has some health advocates worried. Animal studieshave shown that some nanoparticles, if inhaled or

ingested, can harm the lungs and also cross the

blood-brain barrier, which protects the brain from

toxins in the bloodstream.

And then there are fuel cells,

created in 1839 but only recentlycommercialized. Not batteries per se,

fuel cells generate, store and dispense

power by forcing a reaction between a

fuel (hydrogen from water, methanol)

and oxygen, creating usable non-

polluting electricity. One major hurdle for

fuel cell makers is making them smallenough to be able to work in laptops and

other small personal electronics.CONTACTS: Researchers fired up
