But Harvard Director of Community Relations Thomas Lucey said the damage was already present in 2004, prior to the construction, according to a survey done by a certified arborist. The arborist reported that the tree was “high risk and exhibited root decay,” Lucey said. “We hire contractors who are very sensitive to trees and the environment.” “Removing the tree does not benefit us in any way, shape or form,” Lucey said. “It’s unfortunate...
...there is a strong sense, as you travel the district, that Shays' position is beginning to decay. In mid-August, I watched the Congressman take questions in Darien from a luncheon group called the romeos (Retired Outstanding Men Eating Out).

...this building I fell in love with it. It has the 'it' value," says Anne. That process of constant upgrading has helped make Spain rich - and kept cranes along the Mediterranean coast operating at sometimes reckless speed. Now the trade is slowing down, and there are warning signs of decay. An alleged kickback scheme has led to high-level arrests this year in Marbella, Spain's jet-set and botox capital. Authorities in the Valencia region have been challenged by foreign owners and the European Commission over a 12-year-old law that allows communities to reclassify already developed land...
