...rolled out of bed at about 9:37 a.m., and, after grabbing a sweatshirt and trekking across the frostbitten Yard, I strolled into the Science Center about 12 minutes late. I faced the world—and my early morning Life Sciences 1a lecture—only reluctantly on that cold December morning. As I set foot in the lecture hall, stale coffee in hand, I saw Herschel Smith Professor of Molecular Genetics Andrew W. Murray taking a stand against the chronic tardiness of students like me. I was surprised; while an unsettlingly high proportion of students arrive late...
...border markings, and Kim wandered for days, unsure at first if she had reached China or was still in North Korea. To protect her chapped feet from the snow, she wrapped grass around her legs and hid in piles of leaves to avoid wolves. After days of walking on frostbitten feet, Kim reached a town and found work sorting eggs at a poultry factory.

Clues to the success of this frostbitten abode become evident as soon as you enter its lobby, where the elegant furniture never needs dusting because it's all made of ice, and the floors never need polishing since they're carpeted with snow.

He may be better off whispering to Putin what some of his experts are quietly telling him - that the system can't work...
...those bundled-up northeasterners suffering from frostbitten noses: Get used to it, there could be decades more of winters just like this. NASA scientists believe the recent spate of unusual North American weather - from last year's droughts and hurricanes up through the current manic hot-and-cold spells in the northeast U.S. - will be with us for the next 20 to 30 years, due to a condition known as Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO). Some researchers believe that two years ago we began entering the cool portion of a cycle in which the Pacific Ocean waters alternate between warm...
