...loss of much of its moisture and surface heat. Still, the place was warm and wet long enough for life to have taken hold - life that would have then had to retreat into underground water deposits and make the same kind of hurry-up adaptation Mikucki's microbes did. Similar adaptive metabolism could be in evidence on the Jovian moon Europa, where a layer of surface ice may cover a globe-girdling ocean. (See pictures of Mars' patterns...

...Harvard asks its faculty to pitch in, it should call for similar sacrifice from students and parents who can afford to pay a bit more.

...Shifting and Packaging: Gates deftly matched many of his proposed cuts with what's known inside the Pentagon as "plus-ups" - more money for different, but similar, programs. Changes that might seem dubious in isolation make more sense when viewed as part of what Gates calls his "holistic assessment."
