...Harvard field hockey team, loaded with talent and experience, kicked off the new season with a pair of non-league games last weekend. Friday night at Jordan Field, the Crimson won its opener, 1-0, over Holy Cross (0-3) on the strength of a second half goal. On Sunday, Harvard traveled north to Durham, N.H., where the Crimson (1-1) gave up an early lead and ultimately lost, 3-2, to New Hampshire (3-1) at Memorial Stadium. “They’re probably very similar to the way a lot of the Ivy teams play...
...morning warned that such forecasts can be terribly wrong. "Right now, anyone who lives along the Texas-Louisiana coast needs to be prepared for the potential of a major hurricane," warns Walt Zaleski, meteorologist at the National Weather Service's Fort Worth, Texas, office. Ike is expected to gain strength from the Gulf of Mexico's warm waters, and eventually become at least a Category 3 storm - meaning it will carry winds at speeds about 130 m.p.h. (See photos of Hurricane Ike here...

...fallout from Gustav was relatively limited, but it was still a major storm, with maximum sustained winds of 110 m.p.h. when it made landfall in Louisiana - strong enough to cause an estimated $20 billion in damages. And Gustav won't be the last this season. Hurricane Hanna gathered strength in the Atlantic last week, and Ike is swirling not far behind, headed now for the U.S. That's just in the Atlantic, this month. Last May in the Pacific, the massive Cyclone Nargis killed an estimated 100,000 people in the Southeast Asian nation of Burma...
...everyone agrees. Records of past hurricane strength are less than perfect, so it's difficult for scientists to be sure that the recent increase in storm intensity hasn't occurred before, in the years before the Earth started warming. And the weather - as we all know - is complicated, which means that it's difficult to model precisely how future warming might affect the formation of storms. Climate models work well on a global level, but they can rarely be applied accurately to areas smaller than 200 square miles - which happens to be larger than many storms. "It's not just...
