...There is an opportunity here for Harvard to begin to melt that distrust, and obviously some distrust has melted or we would never have had the agreement,” Bloomstein says of the Agassiz deal. “It took an enormous leap of faith by the community to sign this agreement...
Four albums into a career as ne'er-do-well inheritors to the mantle of ne'er-do-well college rockers Pavement, this Washington State trio has produced its first truly lovely song. Lead singer Isaac Brock crows about various misadventures that inevitably melt away ("Even if things get a bit too heavy/We'll all float on") while the rest of the band makes bouncy, happy noises in the background. It's how Nick Drake's Pink Moon might have turned out if ol' Nick had been just a little happier. Perfect for a backyard sing-along as summer...

Americans pour scores of billions of dollars every year into weight-loss products and health-club memberships and liposuction and gastric bypass operations--100,000 of the latter last year alone. Food and drug companies spend even more trying to find a magic food or drug that will melt the pounds away. Yet the nation's collective waistline just keeps growing...
...overwhelming consensus among scientists is that global warming is real and the long-term consequences could be disastrous even by Hollywood standards. Global temperatures are expected to rise as much as 10F by the year 2100. Rising temperatures could melt the ice caps, which would raise the sea level globally, swamping coastal cities like New York.

The fat cells die and those extra pounds melt away--but only, so far, in rodents. In one experiment, mice that had doubled in size on a high-fat diet were back to normal weight in just a month, no matter what they ate. "If even a fraction of what we found in mice relates to human biology, then we are cautiously optimistic that there may be a new way to think about reversing obesity," says Renata Pasqualini...
