...sent the Boston Symphony Orchestra’s 128th season off to a rousing start.Levine ascended the podium for the first time after undergoing surgery for kidney cancer. Baton in hand, he bowed his shock of wiry gray hair to acknowledge the standing audience’s warm reception. Earlier that day, Levine told the Associated Press that his doctors caught the cancer in its early stages and that he will need no further treatment. Once in his swivel chair, he surveyed the symphony members with a confidence that soon characterized the opening theme of Glinka?...
...required to perform calls to mind the axiom that blacks must be twice as good as whites to get half as far. A few Democrats - and feminists - expressed disappointment at her convention speech, with its subtext of, Ignore my race and my Ivy League education and look how warm and maternal and unthreatening I am. But others, including, presumably, Michelle herself, recognized this soft approach as a necessity...
...partners are working on a project that will hire local villagers to plant new trees on land that had been cleared. The benefit is two-fold: The new forests will earn carbon credits under the Kyoto Protocol, since the trees will sequester carbon dioxide that would otherwise warm the atmosphere, and eventually the forests will help rebuild the disappearing habitat for species like the indri. What's more, the project employs job-hungry villagers and gives them a financial stake in the new forests, which is key if conservation is going to work. To save the animals, you need...
NEEM is focused on the Eemian stage, a period from about 115,000 to 130,000 years ago, right before the last ice age, when the world was warm--quite warm, about 9°F hotter in Europe than it is today. Given that the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimates that temperatures could rise 3.24°F to 7.2°F over the coming century, the Eemian could offer a model for the effect such thermometer swings will have on Greenland's ice. A full climatic record of the Eemian has never been constructed, but over the next...
...unusually warm night in August and I was sitting in my living room, holed up in my own indentation in the couch. The breeze coming through the window was increasingly inadequate and, in an effort to stay cool, I had turned off the ceiling lamps. The only light in the room came from the television in front of me. Tired from work and frustrated by the heat, I was completely still.But sweat and fatigue weren’t the only things that made me stationary. The reason I was sitting slack-jawed and wide-eyed was because I had just...
