...Kong photojournalist Vincent Yu published Our Home, Shek Kip Mei 1954-2006 - a work that included a collection of formal portraits of estate residents in their cramped dwellings, albeit in black and white. It is hard to see what, if anything, Wolf does differently. His images are not the result of an intimate rapport between photographer and subject, but of an almost unbridgeable distance: the sitters are showing their best face to a foreign visitor, with many of them smiling for the camera. The result is an odd, strangely uncomfortable dynamic, but one, in the end, that both defines...
Bobb acknowledges that the cost-shaving measures have made some high school classrooms "look like lecture halls." They have also raised the potential for clashes between students from rival schools and neighborhoods suddenly thrown under the same roof; as a result 137 guidance counselors cut by Bobb were later hired back. Bobb had a similar change of heart after 20 piano teachers were dismissed. "You go back to your apartment and think, How can you have a school of music without a piano teacher?" Bobb says. So he hired them back too. Barbara Byrd-Bennett, Bobb's chief academic officer...
...says Dr. Gary Nabel, director of the Vaccine Research Center at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). "It is constantly changing its genetic makeup through mutations. It's also a moving target because the proteins of the virus surface are actually moving themselves - they are conformationally flexible. The net result is that the immune system never gets a really good look at them...
What makes this study unique, says Dailey, is that it takes all of these effects into consideration. The result is a map of the Eastern U.S. seaboard that calculates plausible, albeit oversimplified, numbers for the increased damage that storm surges could cause. An overall round number, says Hoffman, is a 20% increase. But it would be higher in some areas - as much as 100% - and lower in others. In general, in a place like Louisiana, which is already at high risk, the increase would be smaller, and vice versa for places like Long Island and Connecticut, where the relative rarity...
...Before the free-trade agreement kicked in this month, Yap was paying customs duty in China on his fish that amounted to roughly 6% of their cost, he says. As a result, China only made up slightly less than 10% of Qian Hu's $67 million in 2009 revenue, a share that Yap aims to triple over the next five to 10 years now that the tariff is gone...
