...built in the middle of nowhere. In nearby Osceola County, Disney is getting into the business of residential utopias, harking back, in a way, to Walt's original concept for Epcot. His Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow was intended to be sealed under a glass dome to keep out heat and humidity. It was to have had stores, apartments, schools, churches, offices, marinas, parks, golf courses, a monorail, a vacuum-tube trash-disposal system, a central computer controlling everything from streetlights to hotel reservations -- and it was to have housed temporary residents who were to abide by Disney codes...
...period, when the shamal winds in Iran, Iraq and the Arabian Peninsula create huge sandstorms that blow southward. This year's storms could suck up soot from the oil fires and unusually large amounts of dirt loosened by explosions and the movement of armies during the war. Intensified by heat from the fires, the storms could spread a mist of soot and oil across a belt of countries, ranging from Saudi Arabia to India. Apart from posing a health threat to the people closest to ground zero, the pollution is likely to harm wildlife, agriculture and fisheries. At worst, fallout...
...only have black smoke and ash darkened Kuwait's midday skies, but unburned and partially burned oil is also spewing from the wellheads. Someone standing near the al-Ahmadi oil field will find his shirt quickly covered with malignant black droplets that fall like an epoxy rain. The heat of the fires pushes much of the unburned oil high into the sky; it has rained down as far away as Qatar, 645 km (400 miles) to the south, and appeared as black snow in the Indian state of Kashmir, 2,600 km (1,600 miles) to the east...
...conflict doubled the intensity and frequency of the shamal sandstorms. El-Baz believes that the much heavier bombing and widespread trench digging in the latest war produced the material for even more intense sandstorms, which will combine with oil mist and soot from the fires. He argues that the heat from the inferno has created a new high-pressure system, which might push the monsoon line farther south than its normal seasonal position. Furthermore, El-Baz fears that particles in the air might seed the clouds so that rain falls over the Indian Ocean rather than the adjacent land...
Northeastern's performance surprised the second boat. Radcliffe had beaten them easily at the beginning of the season, as well as earlier Sunday morning in the qualifying heat...
