True story: earlier today at brunch, some Dunsterites and I were actually competing to see who had the most relatives coming in forgraduation, and even created rules to give bonus points for those with no siblings, and deductions for those who lived within a radius...
...said Jeffrey Kwong ’09, the UC’s city of Cambridge liaison, who attended a CLC meeting last Thursday. “I presented Harvard concerns at the meeting. My main point was that you have over 5,000 students in the five-block radius living around Felipe’s. Felipe’s meets a need of the community—it’s alcohol-free, it’s safe.” Kwong, who is helping Felipe’s rally support from the student body, also said that the restaurant?...
...audio portions, which will be projected by a sound system with a projection range of six- to eight-feet. Bryan L. Morrissey, an engineer with Brown Innovations, the Boston company that developed the system, said that background noise should drown out the sound for pedestrians walking outside of the radius. “The microphone listens to ambient noise then sets the volume of the speaker at an appropriate level, so it can be heard but is not overwhelming,” said Morrissey.

Right next door, within a 2-mile radius, are more microquake clusters. In the coming years, Ellsworth anticipates, SAFOD will record fine-grained portraits of thousands of tiny temblors, many not much bigger than magnitude 0. By closely examining those portraits, scientists should be able to tell how closely one event resembles another and whether earthquakes, at least...
