...While the geologic record shows the earth has experienced rapid sea-level rise in the past, during the sharp warm-ups that follow the end of ice ages, those big melts have occurred when the world had much less ice than it does now. Scientists are unsure of how quickly rising temperatures from global warming could destabilize and melt our existing sheets - the working assumption has been that such major melting and subsequent sea-level rise would take centuries, if not longer, even in a warmer world. (See TIME's special report on the environment...
...more vulnerable than we believe, and that it may be a matter of decades before cities like New York are turned into swampland. Scientists led by Paul Blanchon of the National Autonomous University of Mexico examined sea-level fluctuations during the planet's last inter-ice age warm period, about 121,000 years ago, and found that the water rose as much as 10 ft. (3 m) in a matter of decades thanks to melting ice sheets. That conclusion indicates that, in the current interglacial period, we could well be facing rapidly rising tides by the end of the century...
...newly renovated Townhouse Suites that each sleep four. Less townhouses and more like lofts, the suites each have a queen bed and two trundle beds amid the groovy Lucite globe swing chairs, beanbags and rocking chairs, as well as flat-screen TVs and free wi-fi.

...that emphasized clear drawing and firmly contoured forms - disegno, as the theorists of the day called it. But by the first decades of the 16th century, Venice had developed a mighty alternative, under the shorthand term colorito, building forms through a multitude of gentle, broadly applied brushstrokes and warm colors...
...Cambridge Queen’s Head Pub opened the felt-rope entrance to its new outdoor patio yesterday afternoon under clear skies and in the midst of warm weather, a rarity of late. A cluster of round metal tables and chairs, sectioned off with rope, in front of the Pub’s outside entrance comprise the new seating area. Although it currently seats just over twenty, Pub Manager Joshua P. Woodruff ’11 said there is still room to expand. Both indoors and outside, students and administrators enjoyed the celebration at the Pub. Associate Dean...
