...Greatest Show on Earth has come to Glasgow. As the sun sets in the Scottish sky, some 8,000 concertgoers gather under a huge blue tent tipped with flashing red lights. Suddenly, the lights go down and a roar goes up. The British rock quintet Radiohead has taken the stage. Unsatisfied with traditional venues and their corporate-logo-covered interiors, the band is touring Europe with a portable circus-like tent. Singer Thom Yorke introduces each number with curt, dry wit; the music is forceful and precise, combining punkish attitude, tasteful art-rock grandeur and judicious electronic sampling. Jonny Greenwood...

...euro's decline hasn't pounded the U.S. market too hard because traders have been focusing on just one aspect of it: vaporized earnings as euros are converted to dollars. But there's a second shoe that might drop. Oil is sky high, and because oil is priced in dollars, the toll has risen way faster in Europe.

As might be expected from someone who began her career on the Boston-Cambridge open-mike circuit, Williams also uses her voice for protest as well as for emotional expression, as in the tune "I Had No Right," which tells the story of '60s anti-war radicals Daniel and Philip Berrigan...

...direct and indirect effects of fire reduce moisture and rainfall and further enhance the prospects of more burning. Cleared land releases less water to the skies than forest does, while smoke inhibits rainfall by saturating the air with vast numbers of tiny particles, each of which can become the basis of a water droplet. But the droplets remain tiny, and do not become heavy enough to fall to the ground, according to a study by David Rosenfeld at Israel?s Jerusalem University. Instead, they stay in the sky, in effect as sterile clouds. This enhances the prospects of more fire...
