...research, published in the journal Nature, would suggest that the mass movement of marine animals - even tiny zooplankton like krill - may play a significant role in churning the ocean. It may help mix cooler water with warm, and disperse salts, nutrients and pollutants across the various layers of the ocean, which is critical to the strength of ocean currents and the health of the marine ecosystems. Although ocean-mixing is largely attributed to winds and ocean tides, scientists say those factors cannot account for all the energy required to power, for example, the complete circulation of cold and warm water...

...infections slowly decline as the mercury rises, before stopping altogether at 86°F (30°C). (Tropical countries, where fairly constant, high temperatures are prevalent, tend to have relatively even rates of infection all year long, without the sharp peaks and valleys seen in cooler countries.)

...gather strength over tropical waters such as the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico, cooling them would weaken the storms before they made landfall. The plan calls for huge ocean-going tubs that would use waves and turbines to push down the hotter surface water while sucking up the cooler water from below.

Golfers also come routinely to Bermuda, which has more golf courses - nine - than fast-food restaurants, making the country's concentration of courses per square mile the highest in the world. Most golfers play Bermuda in the winter, when it's cooler and cheaper to visit, so the links are less crowded in summer. We recommend the government-owned Port Royal, which reopened in May after a $15 million renovation and is slated to host the 2009 PGA Grand Slam of Golf in October. The regular greens fee is $225; guests of the Pompano Beach Club next door...
