...week after undergraduates overwhelmingly approved a resolution calling on administrators to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, supporters of the proposal are left with the daunting task of figuring out how to implement the mandate from the student body. The resolution, which passed by a nearly 9-to-1 margin, calls on the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) to reduce its emissions to a level 11 percent lower than its 1990 output by 2020. That’s just a one percent larger reduction than Yale has committed to make in the same time period. But it?...
...Terence Walker of Muncie, Indiana, is one of those suspects. Walker, 23, who was wanted for non-payment of $381 in court costs stemming from a previous charge of possession of a handgun without a permit, had the misfortune of being spotted by Muncie police as he left a gas station last week.

...percent of its occupants to sign the pledge. The purchase of RECs compensates for the fossil fuels currently used by the buildings. The RECs do not actually supply energy that Harvard will consume itself—the money goes to support a wind farm in Minnesota, indirectly reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Harvard will provide enough RECs to offset 10 percent of the greenhouse gas emissions produced this year by the 30 buildings, which is the equivalent of removing 2000 cars from the road over the course of a year, according to the HGCI Web site. Emig could not provide cost...
...left the peaceful celebrations, the crowd begun its march to Chile’s seat of government, La Moneda. I returned home to TV coverage of tear gas and water-shooting tanks. The cops had been called out to protect La Moneda, the target of Pinochet’s bombs in 1973 and a Molotov cocktail on the anniversary of his coup last September. But despite descriptions in the Chilean media of the demonstrations as "massive," in a city of approximately six million people, TV stations estimated that less than 1,000 had gathered at La Moneda. The idea that...
...debris in an attempt to piece together what happened. The fire at the 17-story building at 1 Broadway in Kendall Square left 800 evacuated, at least 100 employees suffering from smoke inhalation, and one dead—Kevin Fidalgo, a 28-year-old employee of electric and gas utility NStar and a former football player for University of Massachusetts-Amherst. Fidalgo and a colleague were in the basement, working on a transformer when it exploded. The accident shut down the T temporarily Friday afternoon, and the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) was reportedly busing passengers between the Central Square...
