...Every person having custody of any public record, as defined in [G.L. c. 4, § 7, Twenty-sixth], shall, at reasonable times and without unreasonable delay, permit it, or any segregable portion of a record which is an independent public record, to be inspected and examined by any person, under his supervision, and shall furnish one copy thereof upon payment of a reasonable...
...magical “mitigation fund” to, at least symbolically, chop off some of the housing fees of those affected by the construction. For those not intimately affected by this particular construction project, it is easy to dismiss my concerns as representative of only a tiny portion of Harvard’s population. The larger issue, though, is the continual blunders on Harvard’s part when it comes to conducting construction. General failure to adequately consult the student body (and even, in many cases, the faculty) and poor and misguided choices for building locations and uses...
...over. The changes are being made to something called the Urban Area Security Initiative, a program created in 2003 to funnel homeland security money to high-risk cities.

So this year, 35 metropolitan areas, including New York City, Washington, D.C., and Chicago, will get some portion of the total $765 million. Most of those cities got money last year, too. Only Memphis, Tenn., is new to the list. But 11 areas that got money in 2005 are now essentially on probation; they will get more funding only if they convince DHS that they need more money to finish projects they?ve already started...
...American ex-surfer, who took up full-time volunteer work with the International Organization for Migration after he participated in relief efforts following the Asian tsunami and Hurricane Katrina, has found his work especially frustrating in the devastated Neelum Valley, located in the Himalayan mountains in the Pakistani-held portion of disputed Kashmir. After the quake, George, 49, became a familiar figure in the remote valley as he walked trails leading processions of porters toting pickaxes, shovels, bales of wire and plastic tarpaulins?the tools needed to build improvised shelters for survivors whose homes had been shaken into rubble...
