...mail—sent to an undisclosed number of student groups—the BSA board said the proposed letter to Gross “will stress the need for the administration to make such decisions that directly affect our lives more controlled by us,” and indicated that they felt excluded in the College’s decision to dismiss Cooke...
...chief ways those conditions affect Atlantic hurricane formation is by increasing or decreasing vertical wind shear, the difference in wind speed and direction at different levels of the atmosphere. Too much shear can disrupt the structure of a hurricane's eyewall, whereas more uniform winds allow a hurricane to grow to maximum potential. When Isabel briefly exploded into a Category 5 storm, wind shear was low, and its eyewall formed a nearly flawless cone of clouds some 60,000 ft. high. In the eyewall itself, winds whirled at an epic 230 m.p.h. "When we got into the eye," says Colorado...
Among the most important factors affecting wind shear in the Atlantic, scientists have learned, are the swings between El Nino and La Nina that occur in the tropical Pacific. Best known for their impact on sea-surface temperatures--El Nino produces a pronounced warming along the equator, La Nina a distinct cooling--these swings also affect atmospheric patterns worldwide. El Nino, for example, promotes high-level westerlies that tear off the tops of Atlantic Ocean storms, while La Nina and La Nada--the name some have given to the neutral phase of the cycle that currently reigns--do the opposite...
Council members say that Lewis was instrumental in their effort to more directly affect student life and that he was willing to deal with small issues, like later keycard access to Houses and extended party hours.

Sometimes Candidate Bush’s emphasis was misleading; the future president stumped about unburdening the middle class but reserved his largest tax cuts for the income tax and estate tax, taxes that most affect the wealthiest Americans, Krugman charges. On other occasions, Krugman points out, the economic policies Bush proposed in his campaign simply did not add up. Krugman calls this the problem of “2 – 1 = 4,” demonstrating how the Bush plan to privatize Social Security could...
