This eastward flow is central to the physics that drive El Nino, says Scripps' Nicholas Graham. The sloshing sends waves across the ocean like ripples in a pond. These waves, in turn, push down on the so-called thermocline, a layer of cooler water that normally mingles with the warmer water at the surface. As the thermocline sinks to greater depths, the mixing stops, temperatures at the sea's surface rise, and an El Nino begins...
Nevertheless, these far-flung projects do not keep Counter from carrying out socially-oriented work in Boston, such as the time he examined the nervous system of a blind, incapacitated 28-year-old woman born without a brain save for a centimeter-thick layer of tissue behind her eyes.

In practice he routinely bends his blades, and he recently started skating in a boot sporting an outer layer of ballistic nylon, the stuff they use in bulletproof vests...

It barely scraped through the 70s, sometimes requiring its editors to pay for the printing costs themselves. But at the beginning of the 1880s it found itself on more solid financial footing...
