...Pilkey, professor of earth and ocean sciences at Duke University: "Here's a chance to live out life in the place where you had the best time of your life. With people who come to the beach and look for property, it's almost as if they're in heat...
Moreover, that 180-m.p.h. speed limit pertains only to present conditions. There's now a wild card in the climatic deck, observes M.I.T. atmospheric scientist Kerry Emanuel: global warming. Over coming decades, atmospheric pollution and the greenhouse effect are expected to heat not just the air but also the surface of the oceans, and it is the thermal energy of that water that fuels typhoons and hurricanes. As a rule of thumb, according to Emanuel, wind speeds increase 5 m.p.h. for every additional degree Fahrenheit of water temperature. By that formula, sustained winds in future hurricanes could conceivably...
What makes hurricanes? They are, in essence, just big wind machines that move heat from the equator to the poles. While they do this very efficiently, the same task could be performed by swarms of independent thunderstorms. It takes a certain amount of magic, in other words, to set a hurricane in motion. First, you have to make the thunderstorms, and then "you have to get the thunderstorms dancing," as Florida State University climatologist James O'Brien puts it. "You have to get them dancing in a big circle dance...
...leaner, more thoughtful Tobey Maguire, Wes Bentley (the intense drug dealer and video voyeur Ricky Fitts) stayed mostly quiet during our encounter. But, in the end, it was precocious, prickly Thora Birch-- still 17, no matter what you read--who made the most impression on me. Sweatered in the heat, she told me about making the transition from child actor (in movies like Patriot Games, Hocus Pocus and Alaska) to adult roles, and the joys of teaching Kevin Spacey a thing or two about this gig called acting...
Gone are the metal hotel-style pans that held foods and the steam trays that sat under hot food. Instead, HUDS has electric hot plates and heat lights to keep food warmer and crisper, as well as ceramic bowls to hold food...
