...this way, the Cheesecake Factory is the closest thing in the restaurant business to democracy in action. Overton reminisces about dishes he loved that never found a constituency: the torpedo dog, a kosher hot dog with red onions and sweet mustard baked into a pizza-dough crust; a pasta made with melted onions, cream and cognac. White-chocolate macadamia nut had been a top-10 cheesecake flavor for years, but it has fallen to the bottom five and is on the way out. Lamb and veal might appeal to critics, but "we just can't sell it," Overton says. Special...
...hours of classical music daily, and jazz remains a prominent part of its programming. Nowadays, though, the Record Hospital takes over late at night to play, according to its website, “best punk, pop, hardcore, emo, noise, death grind, new wave, no wave, post punk, prepunk, indie, crust, and whatnot that we can damn well get our hands on.” And their focus is no longer “geared to the tastes of Harvard,” as it was in the 1950s. WHRB President Ashwin Vasan ’99 told The Crimson...
...Lawson and his team went on to elaborate a new model of earthquake formation--the elastic-rebound theory--that holds up to this day. For years, they correctly surmised, stress had been ratcheting up along the San Andreas until finally it became so overwhelming that the earth's crust snapped like an overextended rubber band. Moreover, the buildup and release of strain appeared to be recurrent, resulting over time in a succession of earthquakes "of greater or less violence." These pioneering researchers provided the first big clue that earthquakes occur in cycles--that in the area around San Francisco...
Earthquakes, scientists now know, occur along the San Andreas because the immense slabs of rock that make up the earth's crust are ever so slowly sliding past one another, borne by poorly understood currents that roil through a sea of semimolten rock. By keeping tabs on the position of key landmarks on either side of the fault, scientists can measure the speed at which the plates are traveling, in this case about 2 in. a year. The problem for the Bay Area boils down to this: except for one short section, the plates on either side...
What will happen when the Hayward Fault--or the San Andreas--goes off? Scientists who study ancient quakes cannot answer that question because it depends on details that sediments do not preserve. But using a new 3-D model of the earth's crust in the Bay Area, USGS geophysicist Brad Aagaard and his colleagues can run simulations that tweak different parameters for earthquakes that have already occurred and for those still to come. The results range from the expected to the quite surprising...
