...it’s time for Harvard to follow suit. Benson notes that Harvard’s faculty and students have already shown significant interest in animal studies but often lack the structure to interact. A yearlong speaker series could change that, as could the offering of more animal studies courses...

Many major cities today still lack robust public transportation, and to benefit its citizens and lower energy usage we need to increase, rather than curtail, mass-transit programs. It is understandable that in these tough economic times money has to come from somewhere, but alternative sources do exist. A legislative proposal that is still pending approval...
...adding that most observed climate data could be explained by fluctuations in solar radiation.

Soon told TG Daily that the lack of additional energy resulting from a decrease in sunspots is directly responsible for colder temperatures experienced in recent years. He said that, as of last week, there had been sunspots on only 11 days this year, and there were only 99 days with visible sunspots last year?...

Why can’t students use holiday relaxation to come up with their own questions...
