...comforting thought, except for one thing: it's not true. A study published in the Jan. 9 issue of Science shows that far from compensating for the damages associated with climate change (heavier and more frequent storms, increasing desertification, sea-level rise), hotter temperatures will seriously diminish the world's ability to feed itself. David Battisti, an atmospheric scientist at the University of Washington, and Rosamond Naylor, director of the Program for Food Security and the Environment at Stanford University, analyzed data from 23 climate models and found a more than 90% chance that by the end of the century...
...This increase, recommended by Princeton’s Priorities Committee, will pay for tuition, room, and board, Aronson said. The recommendation must be approved by Princeton’s Board of Trustees, who are responsible for fee packages. The biggest losers within Princeton will be tenured faculty and higher-level administrators, for whom salary increases will be capped at $2,000. Princeton’s scholarship budget is expected to rise 13 percent from $92 million to $104 million, Aronson said. This figure includes increases in scholarship amounts already awarded this year to families affected by the financial crisis...
...announced plans to establish a White House Office of Urban Policy that will both oversee ambitious new initiatives and coordinate existing urban programs across agencies to limit inefficiencies. And he has reportedly tapped New York's Bronx Borough President, Adolfo Carrión Jr., to lead this new Cabinet-level office...
...time of the '67 Detroit riots, however, things changed, as they eventually had to. Gordy looked west, towards Los Angeles (how could such a large entertainment company as his not be involved in movies and television?). Dissatisfied with the increasing disconnect between the success of their work and the level of their pay, Holland-Dozier-Holland broke off from Motown. And while the Jackson 5 was on the rise, most of the rock-steady Motown acts of the early '60s were on the wane. In 1971, though, the label released what is arguably its grandest artistic statement, something...
...same can be said about the competitive, quick-fire business of "high-frequency" trading - in which traders often hold positions for just a few seconds at a time. That's not overly surprising. In a separate Cambridge study last April, traders with high morning testosterone levels recorded higher profits for the rest of that day than they did on days when their circulating testosterone level was low. Building on those findings, the newer study suggests that the lower those traders' 2D:4D ratios, the bigger their swing in profits between the high- and low-testosterone days...
