The notoriously cloudy coast of Oregon might not seem like the ideal place to draw power from the sun, but because of a combination of serious insulation with sophisticated systems for generating heat and storing it in geothermal wells?basically warm holes in the ground?over the course of a year...
...damages when it hit 100 years ago yesterday. Cambridge may be across the country from the site of that earthquake, but Harvard has suffered its share of seismic events as well. In the mid 1700s, two earthquakes with magnitudes of at least 6.0 shook the city; since then, several lower-intensity quakes have hit the area. As recently as 2002, Harvard felt tremors from a 5.0 earthquake epicentered in New York that measured 3.0 by the time it reached Cambridge.

House Republicans have not differentiated between someone caught on the U.S.-Mexican border this morning and someone who has been raising a family, working, and (in many cases) paying taxes for the past 10 years. Under current law, there is no statute of limitations (although in practice, immigration...
...them; a Gallup poll last month found 68% of people worried "a great deal" about "the availability and affordability of health care." But in a poll this month, when CBS News asked "what is the most important problem facing this country today," five percent said health care, much lower than immigration (13%), the economy (13%) and the war in Iraq...
