...thing the government may be best at doing job creation-wise is sticking to the thing it is in more of a position to control: long-term strategy. With major legislation taking shape on a range of issues, from health care to climate change, it is not at all clear what the business landscape will look like in the coming months and years. "There's a lot of evidence that suggests uncertainty right now is enormous," says John Haltiwanger, a professor of economics at the University of Maryland. "If some of these things were resolved, businesses might be able...
...once again safe to spend money. It's a classic chicken-or-egg problem. Direct hiring by the government could, theoretically, sidestep the impasse. The question then becomes whether such a program creates more economic benefit than it does economic inefficiency by having the government dictate job creation. Consider that one criticism of the WPA was that it prevented people from moving to jobs where they would have been more economically productive - and actually slowed down the post-Depression recovery...
...mile-long particle accelerator's equipment in early November. On Nov. 23, the LHC sent two proton beams bashing into each other for the very first time, bringing scientists one step closer to finding the hypothetical Higgs boson particle and unlocking the secrets of the universe's creation. If preliminary tests continue to go smoothly, the LHC will start running full-speed collisions in early...
Writes Denis Overbye in The New York Times, “A pair of otherwise distinguished physicists have suggested that the hypothesized Higgs boson, which physicists hope to produce with the collider, might be so abhorrent to nature that its creation would ripple backward through time and stop the collider before it could make one, like a time traveler who goes back in time to kill his grandfather.” In other words, creating an amount of energy three to four times times the amount created during a nuclear fission reaction—a possibility realizable with the detonation...
While the Harvard Dance Program no longer has an issue of space, it does face an issue that Yale rectified with the creation of its dance studies curriculum, now in its fourth year...
