A good benchmark for the spread of spam is the size of various lists of potential targets offered for sale over the years—in 1995 lists of around 2 million e-mail addresses could be purchased, but this number skyrocketed...
Currently, Tarr Professor of Molecular and Cellular Biology Markus Meister represents the nascent systems neuroscience initiative, which Washington University professors Joshua R. Sanes and Jeffrey W. Litchman will direct next year. Melton represents the Harvard Stem Cell Institute, which he began to co-direct with Associate Professor of Medicine David T. Scadden this year. But the Microbial Sciences Initiative, which Kirby approved just two weeks ago, is unrepresented...

As a research university, though, Harvard is poised to advance the science of renewable energy; new initiatives into renewable energy research should be encouraged. The University has also experimented with in-house energy production in the past, and should consider building its own environmentally friendly energy production facilities...
