...services. Brainard said that these changes were not budget-related but rather the result of renovations taking place at the Harvard Art Museum, where the Library had previously been located. She said HCL did take the opportunity to examine the Fine Arts collections during the move, and while the size of the collections is unaffected, the location of some materials—whether on campus or in the Harvard Depository—may have changed. Brainard called FAL's relocation a "temporary" move, but said that it would likely remain in Littauer for the next eight to ten years...

...concerns long-standing doubts about the reliability of government economic data - what one U.S. hedge-fund manager calls "the Beijing fudge factor." In the first quarter of this year, Beijing reported 6.1% GDP growth, but electricity consumption overall in the country appeared to decline. How a country the size of China could grow by 6% yet use less electricity was puzzling. And in the first six months of this year, overall rail-freight traffic declined in China.
