...said the reduction in energy costs is the result of two separate factors—the warmer temperatures require less steam for heating and a drop in fuel prices has lowered the University’s fuel cost. The spending on steam is down over $1 million dollars from last year, while oil costs are about $110,000 lower...

When the AO is in a positive phase--that is, pressure at the core of the region is low--a ring of wind that swirls around the North Pole increases in strength and keeps the frigid Arctic air from escaping southward out of the vortex. That means warmer than usual weather in most of the northern hemisphere, say researchers Thompson and Wallace, who coined the term Arctic Oscillation in 1998. The AO has been in a strong positive phase since late October, notes the National Weather Service (NWS), causing record-high temperatures nationwide. In fact, the AO seems...

Another development is being built in Fredericksburg, Va., outside Washington...

Warmer ties between Russia and the U.S. will persist, but unlike the cold war, the terrorist threat is much more diffuse. Real change will require sustained attention by Bush to a range of problems he previously ignored...
