The city will then make that information public on November 24th, coinciding, of course, with the day that (most) carriers dread: number portability day. For years, the carriers have been notoriously secretive about their maps, which often show exactly where the deadspots occur. Some have tried to force the carriers to open up, partly for the sake of customers who don't want to be locked into a 2 year contract only to come home and find they have no signal at home. |

"If presidencies are destined to crumble," writes Fineman, "the cracks tend to appear first in the Granite State." He profiles a New Hampshire Republican who has switched parties to vote for Howard Dean: Hilary Cleveland of New London, N. |

- DuPont has been awarded the National Medal of Technology for developing alternative technology that replaces ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons. This year's award is the fourth National Medal of Technology affiliated with DuPont in 13 years. In the 1970's DuPont began a global research effort focused on understanding CFC environmental fate, which ultimately led to the development of alternative technology to CFC use. DuPont has also been heavily involved in other efforts to reduce the impact of industry on the atmosphere. In early 2003, DuPont became a founding member of the Chicago Climate Exchange, a voluntary cap-and-trade program for reducing and trading greenhouse gas emissions. |
