"Even though lots of researchers have studied how climate change
could affect agriculture in the country's 'bread basket,' discussions
have been siloed. Agronomists talk to other agronomists, soil
scientists to other soil scientists, and agricultural economists talk
to agricultural economists."<br>
<br>
How do you get soil scientists, agricultural economists, hydrologists
and climate scientists to work together across disciplines at the
scale this paper proposes?</font><br>

</b>"Real estate speculation must be as old as the land - in the
United States, it is certainly as old as the frontier - and the first
bad bank loan was no doubt made around the time of the opening of the
first bank."<br>
<br>
"Still, the boom of the 1980s was unique. Not only did creditors
lend more freely than they had in the past, but the government
intervened more actively than it had ever done before to absorb the
inevitable losses."<br>

</b>"In the early 1990s a number of long-running trends were
apparently cresting Š. Tommy Mullaney, eleven, of Crownsville,
Maryland, returned home from camp in the summer of 1990 to find his
name inscribed on a MasterCard complete with a $5,000 credit line.
' I jumped up and down and said Wow - the hologram was cool,'
Tommy told the Washington Post. 'But it sure made me wonder who was
running that bank'."</font><br>
