...serene beauty of the Lowell courtyard in the spring, when the trees blossom and students chat lazily on the grass. We forget, in the stress of papers and exams, the thrill of shopping period when you realize that even if you attended Harvard five times you could never exhaust the possibilities. Perhaps most we forget that, yes, administrators are fallible; they make mistakes, but we shouldn’t continue to beat our heads and theirs against the wall berating them for these occasional missteps to the detriment of the positive. Let’s move...
...early hours of April Fools' Day. Six times, F-8s zipped past the lumbering U.S. planes with less than 30 ft. to spare. Twice they had come within 10 ft. of the U.S. aircraft, "thumping" them by rocking the American planes in the turbulence of their exhaust. But on the 44th intercept, the Chinese, according to the U.S. account, went from a close call to a collision with the plane carrying Osborn and his 23 crewmates...
Outside the E.U., other countries are unexpectedly taking a leadership role in curbing global warming. Mexico, which for decades has been choking on its own exhaust, is planning to double its output of geothermal power--energy generated by natural underground heating--which would place it third in the world in geothermal production, behind the U.S. and the Philippines. President Vicente Fox is also promising a bill that would open the national power grid to electricity produced by all manner of alternative sources...
...reaching quotations in his work, it never seemed that Scofield was derivative or stretched for motivation. Grasped by the inspiration for a musical idea, he would push it to the limits of creative invention, feeding off his sidemen until grasped by a fresh concept that he would subsequently exhaust. Blake’s tenor provided particularly potent fuel, as they, face to face, improvised harmonies, some of which melded seamlessly with the tune. Others that didn’t quite work were nonetheless commendable for their innovation. Free to experiment beyond the confines of chords or melodic conventions, Scofield...
...this context, Murphy's purchase of options on 210,000 metric tons of carbon (the equivalent of annual exhaust from approximately 27,800 cars) from a Canadian company that was itself trying to help meet a national target seems a bit odd. The market for this kind of trade hasn't been established, and there isn't even a global agreement on how carbon dioxide should be valued. Indeed there isn't even unanimity on global warming itself...
