...Prudent but, as The Ground Truth shows, imprecise. You are told about a woman who put a hand inside her cloak to pull something out and, with a split second to decide whether she?s friend or foe, gun her down - noticing too late that what she reached for was a red flag. Or you see a car approach. Chad Reiber, an Army ranger, says: "I engaged a vehicle with a 50-caliber machine gun and blew it up. It was a pretty big explosion.

What Thompson, a career nurse, needed--and found--was a job that would let her split her time between the two cities...
...constants, while others have large constants corresponding to accelerating forces that result in uninhabitable, instable universes. Arkani-Hamed said that different multiverses might have different, randomly set cosmological constants which would explain the existence of such a specific universal property. He recently proposed a model for new physics, called split supersymmetry—which theorizes that half of all particles in the universe have partner particles. He said that if the results of the LHC experiment reveal split supersymmetry, “it would be a tremendous push in the direction of a multiverse...
...year. Much like the curriculum and readings, the makeup of the classes tends to be composed primarily of white males. History 10a is the paradigm for many students’ larger intellectual gripes about Harvard: the class covers too much, too hastily and too broadly. The lecturing is split up between three professors who vary in quality, and students complain that by the end of the semester, 10a is a better venue to grab a power-nap (undisturbed) than to peruse Western history. The sourcebook was too often lauded as something more “exciting” than...
...Senate Republican leaders weren't breaking out the top-tier invitations for nothing. Three moderate GOP Senators have split with them and the White House over how to treat detainees at Guantanamo Bay and around the world. At the lunch, Senators John Warner, John McCain and Lindsey Graham were scheduled to present their case for a detainee bill that conforms to the Geneva Conventions. The White House and Senate leaders are pushing one that would allow interrogations using methods that strain - or break, depending on whom you ask - the Conventions' rules against abuse...
