...regional sea-level variability, including winds and local currents that push water consistently toward or away from a particular shore. "One of the biggest effects," says the study's lead author, Robert Kopp, who did his research during a postdoctoral fellowship at Princeton, "is gravity." The world's giant ice sheets, such as Greenland's, are so massive that they actually pull the oceans toward them, raising sea level in the surrounding region. "If you were in Scotland, and Greenland started melting," he says, "local sea level would actually fall at first...
Also, climate scientists had assumed that the Antarctic ice sheets would have remained intact during that long-ago warm period. Because of changes in Earth's orbit, they know there would have been more sunlight hitting the Arctic back then, which means less sunlight in the Antarctic, and so, presumably, less melting...
...That's not to say that Bad is just an older Dude. Certainly there are similarities - both men wander around with a lowball in hand, pot belly swaying in gentle tandem with the ice clinking against the side of the glass, and Crazy Heart even opens at a bowling alley. But whereas bowling was the Dude's favorite sport and main occupation, for Bad, finding himself performing at a bowling alley in Pueblo, Colo., is a misery. He's a legend in the country-and-western scene, but he's 57, broke and no longer even afforded the dignity...
...Captain Kidd once more. These master distillers specialize in dark, aged rums that are big on nose and character, and far removed from the clear, bland liquor normally found in cocktails. Caribbean connoisseurs recommend sampling élite rums at room temperature, like a single malt or cognac. Adding an ice cube or splash of water to the glass is also acceptable. The holiday season gives you the perfect excuse to experiment, of course. If you're glugging the good stuff, a smooth, warm sensation should race around your mouth soon after the first taste. But lay off the gunpowder - these...
Last Sunday, Cuomo’s tour bus (one of Weezer’s five tour-buses) skidded on ice and ended up going over the guardrail and landing in a ditch, according to CNN. Cuomo was on his way from Toronto to Boston, to perform at Boston University (What?! He wasn’t going to play at his alma mater? That’s karma, Cuomo...
