The reasoning is that if people are searching for information on the flu, they're probably sick themselves or know someone who is - and a geographic cluster of like-minded Googlers could represent a burgeoning outbreak or, worse, the roots of a new pandemic. (In the case of H1N1, however, the distant and initially small number of cases in the U.S. meant the search service wasn't very helpful in predicting the current epidemic, but the strategy...
...came together.” General relativity calculations give evidence for the existence of the black holes—if visual evidence is found within astronomical observations, the black holes would “test the predictions of general relativity,” O’Leary said. The cluster is expected to be highly compact and the “black hole will give the stars higher speeds.” O’Leary has started the search for these compact clusters using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Database—a program that maps the Northern Hemisphere?...
...reported at the Harvard Dental School earlier this week were confirmed as H1N1 “swine flu” yesterday after the Massachusetts Department of Public Health received notice from the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, where the testing was conducted.

Rosenthal said that a reevaluation of the schools’ closures will be made on Wednesday after further...
...conductor for this concert, explains that “[Copland’s] use of American folk music and jazz captured the ear of the average American,” whereas Charles Ives “was an innovator of rhythm and harmony, often using polyrhythms and cluster chords, a practice rather common today but unheard of at that time.” The contrasts between the two composers are representative of the multifaceted nature of American music. The focus on traditional American music gives listeners a rare opportunity to experience a performance by the Wind Ensemble unlike others...
