...Heat Strokes OK, so their defense is worse than Phil Spector's. But he got away with it, so why shouldn't the Miami Heat? They looked awful last year, but they won it all two years ago - and this year's team is better on paper. If Shaq and Dwyane Wade can stay healthy, the Heat should be able to play with anyone. Of course, that's like saying that if their leaders can behave rationally, the U.S. and Iran should be able to keep the peace. It's obviously true, but not even Tim Donaghy would want...
...length and is held in place by thick concrete pillars. A toilet block nestles underneath the tail. Inside, Gupta replaced the bulkhead between the coach and business cabins with a wooden wall so he could mount an air-conditioner to cool the cabin in New Delhi's oppressive summer heat...
...punishing gusts of the Santa Anas herald cursed weather, days and nights of devilish heat. Should a fire spark in the dry woodlands surrounding the region's cities and suburbs, the winds become a flamethrower, spreading glowing embers half a mile (800 m) or more. The Santa Anas have been midwife to the most destructive wildfires in California's history, from the Great Fire of 1889 to the 2003 disaster that blackened nearly 700,000 acres (280,000 hectares) of forest. Lifelong residents of the state know the Santa Anas and dread them. As Joan Didion has written, "The wind...
...Beginning overnight on Oct. 20, unusually fierce Santa Ana winds stoked fires that quickly burst into life throughout a dry, hot landscape. By midweek, more than 20 separate blazes formed pockets of fire running from the Mexican border north to Simi Valley outside Los Angeles. In many places, the heat and smoke were so intense that the 7,000 firefighters recruited from around the country could do little but watch. The flames consumed more than 400,000 acres (162,000 hectares), destroyed more than 2,000 houses and forced the temporary evacuation of nearly 1 million people - the biggest mass...
...Then, too, there's climate change. As occurred after Hurricane Katrina, the question of what role global warming might have played in the disaster arose before the fires had even begun to die down. While environmental scientists are careful not to blame the droughts or heat waves of any one season on climate change, the overwhelming majority of climate models point to more of these extreme conditions in the already dry Southwest as the planet warms. A study led by researchers at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, Calif., and published in Science last year found that...
