...lanes,” junior Niki Finelli said. “We will have to treat that effectively and make sure we’re not affected by that pressure. Also, stopping their shooters is always key.” To take down the Elis, Harvard will have to contain sophomore Melissa Colborne, who is averaging 21.0 points per game over her last four contests. Colborne has been named Ivy League Player of the Week four times this season.“If she gets hot during the game we’ll make an adjustment,” Hallion...
...plume of white smoke billows into the sky, obscuring the sun and spreading the sulfurous odor of rotting eggs. On a narrow causeway leading to the caldera, dozens of trucks idle in a queue, waiting to deliver soil for the massive earthworks meant to contain the mud. Already, they have transported more than 88 million cu. ft. (2.5 million cu m) of dirt to build eight miles (13 km) of levees around the site. Dozens of cranes work late into the evening piling the dirt atop bulwarks nearly 65 ft. (20 m) tall in places. As the mud rises...
...came up with the idea, says that the balls reduced the mud's flow temporarily. But the project was abandoned last March when a new government team took over management of the site. More recently, a Japanese team proposed building a 130-ft.-high (40 m high) dam to contain the mud. Scientists familiar with Lusi have dismissed that idea. Because the ground beneath the caldera is still sinking, a heavy concrete dam would likely rupture...
...shattered by what should have been a small, isolated fire in an electrical substation on Miami's western fringe. A breaker shut down the facility, as it's programmed to do; but it failed to contain the problem, as it also should have, and so in response more than a dozen other substations in South Florida's electrical grid shut down as well. That caused a cascading regional grid collapse - including the Turkey Point nuclear power plant south of Miami - as electricity demand suddenly outstripped what was being produced. Some 3 million people from South Beach to Tampa to Daytona...
...posts are often accompanied by grainy, practically inscrutable cell phone photographs, and most contain information that is provably false, and often wholly ridiculous—for example, a recent post claimed VES and Physics concentrator Lewis Z. Liu ’08 would be trading one of his paintings with British billionaire Richard Branson for a ride on Virgin Galactic’s first spaceflight...
