...more energy to breath in warmer temperatures. And that, in turn, means they need more food. But - grim irony - warmer temperatures also stratify the water, making it harder for edible organisms like plankton, which prefers cold water, to get to the animals who eat them. For suspension invertebrates, the result is a food shortage that occurs precisely at the moment when they need more food. (See pictures of the effects of climate change on Europe...
...understand and sympathize with this focus. But, while Ad Board reform will not save a dollar, let alone the $200 million needed to cover this year’s FAS deficit, this is one issue on which a marginal increase in attention from the administration and Faculty would result in considerable goodwill from students. After a year of budget cuts and somber news, this small investment of time and energy would remind students that one of the College’s end commitments is to a solid undergraduate experience, both in 10 years and tomorrow. Therefore, we hope that Dean...
...HUECU president Eugene J. Foley acknowledged that the credit union will likely see higher default rates on international student loans.

Harvard administrators are not negotiating with any other...
...Child Left Behind Act pushed by President George W. Bush unintentionally exacerbated the problem. It required each state to ensure that its students achieve "universal proficiency" in reading and math - but allowed each to define what that meant. The result was that many states made their job easier by setting their bar lower. This race to the bottom resulted in a Lake Wobegon world where every state declared that its kids were better than average. Take the amazing case of Mississippi. According to the standards it set for itself, 89% of its fourth-graders were proficient or better in reading...
...Catholic Church in Paraguay, if not the Vatican, also stands to suffer scrutiny as a result of the paternity episode - especially if the claim that the sexual relationship between Lugo and Carrillo began when she was a minor is true, something the President and his lawyer adamantly deny. It's one thing for a celibate parish priest to father children and try to keep it under wraps; but when it involves a bishop, it casts a spotlight on the church hierarchy. Although the Vatican had accepted Lugo's resignation as bishop, it refused to recognize his exit from the priesthood...
