...warm weather put a damper on shopping, big retailers pulled out all the stops for Black Friday with their 5 a.m."door busters" on everything from laptop computers to the new High School Musical board game. Apparel sold surprisingly well, thanks in part to pent-up demand, now that colder weather has finally set in. And despite the massive toy recalls, just as many shoppers reported buying toys this year as last, according...
...make big waves on the hipster blog circuit as part of pop music’s continuing love affair with Canada. If you’ve never heard of Canada before, that’s okay too. It’s pretty much like the United States except colder, and with better beer and healthcare. Canada’s also home to most of your favorite actors and musicians—the ones with any talent, anyway. Every few months, the indie executives at all the cool and current media outlets make a trip up north together to sign bands...
Russell and Rena Knisely, a retired couple from Wallingford, Pa., who started full-timing four years ago, spend the colder months at a lot they own in Hilton Head. Every Saturday morning at the resort park, they gather with a group of friends, cook a full breakfast for everyone staying at the park and trade stories about their road adventures over the shared meal. "Our happiness and health are much better in this lifestyle," says Russell, 64. "We have no worries here." "The only downside is that we don't have a church anymore," says his neighbor Wyn Hull...
...mail, David Spergel, a theorist with the WMAP project and the chair of the astrophysics department at Princeton, explains that the microwave signal from the Big Bang has intrinsic hot and cold spots. It's possible that this particular part of the microwave sky was significantly colder than average to begin with. If so, Rudnick's "void" could actually be a region that's merely less dense than average, not completely empty...
...Even as carbon emissions from air travel grow rapidly, scientists are investigating claims that they may double the warming effect because of the altitude at which they're emitted. As jets soar they leave behind contrails, vapor threads of condensation that can persist for hours, especially in colder areas, and behave like high-altitude cirrus clouds. Those clouds seem to have a net warming effect, trapping heat in the atmosphere. Planes also create ozone, a greenhouse gas that has a stronger warming effect at high altitudes than low. The science is still being nailed down, but the side effects...
