...Citi's CEO's salary has been cut, but there has been no trickle-down effect," says Brandon Rees, the deputy director of the office of investment at the AFL-CIO, which owns shares in Citi. "Now that they are out from under the pay czar, expect 2010 numbers to go up from here. One of the concerns we do have about companies exiting TARP is that they are just going to return to the old model of compensation...
Even if the ban goes into effect, Japan or any other country has the option of taking a "reservation" that would allow it to effectively continue trading the tuna - but they would still need a fishing country from which to buy. "The U.S. won't do that," says Lieberman. "The E.U. won't do that. And we believe they'll exert sufficient pressure on the North African nations to ensure that they won't either...
Rogue waves generally occur out in the open ocean. They may be the result of a number of factors coming together - strong winds and fast currents coinciding, for instance - or of a focusing effect, in which several smaller waves join together to form one big wave. There may even be a nonlinear effect at work, in which just a small change in wind speed multiplies to form a big wave. And certain areas of the ocean, like the strong waters off Africa's coast, may be more vulnerable to rogue waves than others...
...microwaves, rather than water waves, to get a better sense of how rogues might arise. They created a metal platform in a lab measuring 26 cm by 36 cm (about 10 in. by 14 in.) and randomly placed 60 small brass cones on the platform to mimic the effect of unexpected ocean eddies in the current. When they beamed microwaves at the platform, the scientists found that "hot spots" - the microwave equivalent of rogue waves - appeared up to 100 times more often than standard wave theory would predict. Those results indicate that rogue waves might be a lot more common...
Leslie R. Rith-Najarian ’12, a psychology concentrator, spoke about the effect that stress’s role as the “weather topic” at Harvard has on students’ moods. She’s already had many listeners tell her that they’re applying her lessons; even Lavin now asks herself, “What would Leslie...
