...rjan Gustafsson, the study's lead author, and his colleagues at Stockholm University conducted research with Indian scientists from January to April 2006 to determine that two-thirds of the cloud's soot particles come from biomass combustion like household cooking and slash-and-burn agriculture. The researchers confirmed that the layer of haze - which many have blamed for the world's increasingly extreme weather patterns - makes rain both more rare during the dry season and more intense during monsoons. And in South Asia, the cloud's net effect on climate change, says the study, rivals that of carbon dioxide...
...findings imply that controlling biomass combustion, particularly the small-scale burning of wood and dung for home heating and cooking common throughout Asia and Africa, will be an important step towards improving the world's air quality. Gustafsson, a professor of biogeochemistry at Stockholm University, urges environmentalists not to limit their efforts to curbing car traffic and coal-fired power plants. He says fighting poverty and spreading green technologies that limit emissions from small-scale biomass burning are equally important. "More households in South Asia need to be given the possibility to cook food and get heating without using open...
...could have that effect on a generation unused to her and the conventions that then bound Hollywood. Her gestures may seem extravagant to eyes tutored in naturalism, her characters too ready to renounce passion for the sake of propriety. Yet in her day she was a revolutionary. Born Greta Gustafsson to a poor Stockholm family on Sept. 18, 1905, she was only 19 when she arrived at MGM (her only American movie home).

...Peluse, turned in the most impressive performances of their careers. Chock finished sixth in the 100-yard butterfly, seventh in the 200-yard freestyle and 3rd in the 200-yard fly. Her mark of 2:01.98 set a new team record, which had been previously held by sophomore Lovisa Gustafsson...
...with the loss of a talented senior class, the Crimson will attempt to improve on this season's performance with a new crop of talented recruits who will help Harvard keep up with the rest of the Ivy League, which has become much faster in recent years. This season Gustafsson, sophomore Jane Humphries and junior Janna McDougall have proven themselves capable of continuing in their predecessors' footsteps...
