Emanuel and others believe that even if greenhouse heating does not spawn more hurricanes, it may make the ones that do occur more powerful. In an extensive study published this summer in the journal Nature, Emanuel surveyed roughly 4,500 storms brewed in the North Atlantic and western north Pacific since the middle of the 20th century. He found that the average power of the storms increased 50% in those 50 years. It's a change that, he has little doubt, is linked to global warming.

During one of the more intimate scenes, the camera slowly shifts back and forth between the faces of Harlan and Tobe until they seem to be perfectly and eerily melded together. Cinematographer Enrique Chediak expertly times the use of unfocused, shaky or jumping footage to pull...
...ready to follow Fordham’s lead,TurnItDownGordon Harvey, the associate director of expository writing and author of the citation guide “Writing With Sources,” does not believe that Harvard will need TurnItIn anytime soon.According to Harvey, “When plagiarism does occur in Expos, it’s usually pretty easy to spot from sudden shifts in style or topic, and usually easy enough to check out by ‘Googling.’ I suppose this is one reason why we haven’t considered using a program like...
