...Crimson’s 8-6 win over Princeton on Nov. 13 aside, disappointing performances between the pipes have been exceedingly rare for Harvard thus far this season. Senior Dov Grumet-Morris, given the night off after recording 37 saves and allowing zero goals the day before against Northern Michigan, has allowed two goals or fewer nine times this year, with Tobe following suit twice...

...number is so far unknown and ultimately unknowable. On Dec. 30, the Indonesian government doubled the number of likely dead in that country alone to 80,000, though that was no more than a guess.

Whole fishing villages in Aceh have probably been wiped out, with nobody left to count the human cost. With estimated...
...worth noting that the Sumatran quake wasn't the deadliest temblor in modern times. In 1976 as many as 750,000 people died in a huge quake that leveled the northern Chinese town of Tangshan.

What made last week's disaster so extraordinary was the way in which it was a truly global event. The tsunami placed a girdle of death around half the earth. In Sri Lanka...
...Arctic Oscillation, or AO for short, is defined as the back-and-forth pattern of low and high pressure between high polar latitudes and the mid-latitudes of the northern hemisphere. The AO encircles the whole of the Arctic and also extends from the sea's surface to the stratosphere, an ethereal region of the atmosphere some seven to 30 miles above the earth that forecasters thought had little bearing on day-to-day weather. Thanks to the discovery of the AO, that view of the stratosphere is changing. Among other things, scientists studying the AO have connected sudden warmings...
