That combination of sustainable growth and stable prices could be a deficit buster's best friend...
...Ever since the construction...I have been subjected to a relentless stream of noise coming from the fans at the biology labs," she wrote in a letter to Vice President and General Counsel Margaret H. Marshall last November. "The level of nighttime noise, as measured by both City of Cambridge and by Harvard's private acoustical contractor, exceeds legal limits...
...Ever since the construction of a large greenhouse I have been subjected to a relentless stream of noise coming from the fans at the biology labs," Ms. Walter wrote in a letter to Vice President and General Counsel Margaret H. Marshall last November. "The level of nighttime noise, as measured by both the City of Cambridge and by Harvard's private acoustical contractor, exceeds legal limits...
...knowing yet: an entire winter of record-shattering cold, let alone a single week, might be a meaningless blip in the overall scheme of long-term climate trends. In fact, last week's cold wave was caused by a phenomenon that is by no means rare. The jet stream, a stratospheric wind that governs the movement of air over North America, dipped temporarily south of its usual course. As it did so, the stream pulled along a vast high-pressure system from Siberia and the Arctic Ocean...
...theories have been floated to explain these irregular, rapid variations. The leading one, advanced by Lamont-Doherty's Wallace Broecker and George Denton of the University of Maine, involves a kind of cyclic ocean current that has been likened to a conveyer belt. Broecker and Denton note that a stream of unusually salty (and thus especially dense) water flows underneath the Gulf Stream as it moves from the tropics to the North Atlantic. When this salty stream reaches the far north, it is forced to the surface as water above it is blown aside by the winds; it then discharges...
