...know that change is at hand? The Nature researchers noticed one potential signal: the sudden variance between two distinct states within one system, known by the less technical term squealing. In an ecological system like a forest, for example, squealing might look like an alternation between two stable states - barren versus fertile - before a drought takes its final toll on the woodland and transforms it into a desert, at which point even monsoons won't bring the field back to life. Fish populations seem to collapse suddenly as well - overfishing causes fluctuations in fish stocks until it passes a threshold...
...were packed all around—often overflowing into hallways—with a disproportionate number of these courses counting toward the Core Curriculum. Though College administrators were able to predict that General Education classes would be large since freshmen have just one "U.S. in the World" class to look at this fall, they may have forgotten that there are still all those sophomores, juniors, and seniors who are under a curriculum that has already "shuffled off its mortal coil," in English professor James Simpson's words over a year...

...President's deferral of responsibility for the CIA investigation is more serious than his health-care meanderings. This is a matter of national security that will directly affect the morale and behavior of our clandestine services. The President can't say he wants to look forward, not backward, then allow his Attorney General to look backward. The most egregious practices, like waterboarding, were (outrageously) declared legal by the Bush Justice Department. How can you prosecute one interrogator for threatening a prisoner with an electric drill and let others who waterboarded a prisoner 83 times off the hook? Is it right...
