These scientists aren't the first to look at the chemistry of foraminifera; the fossils are abundant in ancient ocean sediments, so they're a particularly good tracer of the past. But they used a new technique to measure CO2: looking at how much of the element boron was present in the foraminifera's shells. When there's lots of CO2 in the air, there's also more in the top layers of seawater, where the relevant species of foraminifera live. That makes the water more acidic, which in turn makes the tiny animals incorporate less boron into their shells...
...believe this, then perhaps you haven’t lived in three of them. Looking back, each House felt in a certain sense like going to a separate school—the differences were that noticeable. People often point out that I will have missed out on a core element of the Harvard experience—that of fully embracing one’s House community. But in reality, I think I’ve just experienced three times as much of it. When it comes to being apart from my biological blockmates, it’s tough. But there?...
...much power federal health reform gives to states to manage exchanges - as envisioned in the Baucus bill - is a key element for controlling the cost of private health insurance for individuals and small businesses. "It's not whether they can or can't [establish an exchange]," says Alan Weil, executive director of the National Academy for State Health Policy, a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization. "It's whether they will do it in an active way. An insurance exchange could just be a website that posts products, and you could do that with two people and an IT person...
...that would "tend to deprave and corrupt" the public. "That doesn't mean just 'upset or put off,' " says Mireskandari. But, he notes, the U.K.'s Protection of Children Act might come into play. "The key tests would be whether the child is posed provocatively, whether there was an element of lewdness or erotic detail to distinguish it for example from ordinary family snapshots...
...you’re hearing about the events, you’re probably connected to this academic community and we certainly welcome you to attend.”) and no membership fee to block people economically, we have to say, there’s still definitely an element of douchebagery...
