...Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority agreed to spend $310 million over the next five years improving public transportation access at sites including the Harvard Square T stop, according to a settlement announced Monday. Changes to the local T stop include the addition of a new elevator and the replacement of the current elevator, Greater Boston Legal Services Senior Attorney Taramattie Doucette said. The settlement, filed in 2002 by GBLS, represented 10 plaintiffs with various disabilities. The plaintiffs cited personal experiences as proof that there was an imminent need for improvement in public transportation. Plaintiff Joan Golden of Medford, Mass., who uses...
...learn how to de-structure.We started planning in early October for a trip that took place at the end of March—perhaps not the best example of traveling off-the-cuff. At the time we were still wrapped in Harvard mode, which meant keeping the spontaneity at bay, but at least we started out in the right mind-set. This was senior year and not the time for important sightseeing in interesting countries. Instead, the mantra was “traditional State U. Spring Break.” Food, drinks, beach, and sun—everything else...
...Earthquakes The Bay Area is not the only region threatened by quakes. The greatest risk outside the West Coast is found along the New Madrid fault zone, a 120-mile-long system named after a little town in Arkansas. This is where a series of 2,000 earthquakes struck over a five-month period between 1811 and 1812; five of the quakes registered magnitude 8.0 or more. Eighteen of them caused church bells to ring on the East Coast...
...parliamentary reporters, however, it smacks of a government that wants to keep the press at bay. They have been stationing themselves in a gallery opposite the entrance to the Cabinet room for at least 30 years. Journalists say that being barred them from their regular third-floor perch means they no longer have a chance to approach (i.e., shout questions at) the meeting's participants and that ministers who want to avoid the press will be freer to do so. "It's a concrete example of how the Prime Minister's Office is trying to restrict and control which members...
Time, unfortunately, is not on the Bay Area's side. Scientists say the "shadow" of the 1906 earthquake--a kind of protective umbra generated by the enormous release of stress 10 decades ago--is already beginning to dissipate. That means the Bay Area will soon be rocked by the next cycle of seismic unrest, with smaller but still damaging earthquakes signaling the start of a new era of danger for a city that's had more than its share...
