...ovum of early organisms that predated all birds by millions of years. Pleasant rambling through history makes good reading, but the author's practical information is more illuminating. For instance, beaten egg whites are important to cakes and soufflés because they hold air that expands as it heats. Yolks, which hold only small amounts of air when beaten, are primarily binders and, because of their fat, enriching moisturizers. McGee also explains that, in cooking eggs, it is important to avoid extensive coagulation, which produces a rubbery texture or curdling. He therefore advises a moderate, gradual heating that will...
...Forest Service. Meteorologists blame a mammoth high-pressure system, centered over Utah and bringing temperatures as high as 112 °F, for the weather conditions that have fostered the fires. The climatic front has locked the Western states into a kind of giant sauna, where dry heat settles, ocean breezes cannot penetrate and nighttime temperatures remain high. "We're facing all of July and August," said Clyde O'Dell, a Boise-based federal meteorologist. "It doesn't look good." (Dry weather has plagued other areas of the country as well, but it has brought drought rather than fire to them...
...rakes and axes to 156 bulldozers, the fire fighters try to create firebreaks as wide as 100 ft. to isolate the flames. Wearing goggles, hard hats and nonflammable shirts, they may work shifts that last more than 24 hours. Thus far, 228 have been injured on the lines from heat exhaustion, burns and poison...
...tiled underbelly can be photographed by the International Space Station and checked for problems. After docking with the station, her team will conduct experimental repairs on tile samples during space walks, using a caulk gun to fill gouges with high-tech goo and sponge brushes to add heat-resistant coating. Collins sees the mission as an important step in getting the U.S. space program back on track--and headed toward manned trips to the moon and Mars. "We've got to constantly remind the generation that follows about the lessons we've learned," she says. But now "it's time...
...economic crisis looming: China. This fear may well prove to be baseless and in time, China could become a vast new market for Indian software companies. For now, though, Indian businessmen like Premji and politicians like Chidambaram are tactically using the Chinese threat to turn up the heat on those who are blocking reform. In a country where politicians and bureaucrats still use shibboleths accumulated over a half-century of socialism to obstruct progress, the word China works like a charm. After all, which self-respecting Indian minister looks forward to being humiliated once more by his Chinese counterpart...
