...ironic how they are so different in design, but so similar in their level of ineptitude. The typical science or math TF’s command of English is usually shaky at best, and totally non-existent at worst. When you walk into your section and feel a seismic wave of relief that practically knocks you to the floor when a TF speaks a clear and coherent sentence in English, you know your expectations have fallen unreasonably low for what your $40,000/year is supposedly buying. Meanwhile, the humanities TF can usually speak English, but uses what verbal abilities they...
...stand as its anthem. That was Sunday Bloody Sunday from 1983's War, a tune about the divisive heat and blind violence of modern Ireland that curried no favor on either side. War was U2's best work until The Joshua Tree; the year after its release, Island, detecting seismic vibrations, renegotiated the band's contract with McGuinness.

...support, all educational activities involving the telescope at Oak Ridge—which included visits by students from a variety of universities and high schools—would cease. Alcock said that while some small projects—including a search for extraterrestrial life project and a seismic station, would continue at Oak Ridge—the site’s future is unclear...
...giggle to a cause." died. bruce bolt, 75, pioneer in engineering seismology, which uses earth science to influence structural engineering; in Oakland, California. By using data from sensors along fault lines, records of old quakes and analysis of underground rock formations, he explained why certain spots in active seismic areas, including those far away from the epicenter, are hit harder than others. His work influenced legislation in California, and he was consulted on construction projects from Egypt to Alaska. died. al held, 76, abstract painter and Yale University professor known for his gigantic geometrical pieces; near Camerata, Italy. After making...
