...former weight in gold. Upstairs is the 45 ft. lap pool, 4.5 ft. deep all the way through so you won't drown. And to top it all off, the Wellbridge membership includes two appointments every three months with a personal trainer to update your personal workout. But "Please limit the use of cellphones." If you don't have one, then the Wellbridge...
...towers, resorts and convention hotels made it very difficult to elect antigrowth politicians. Hurricanes were acknowledged to be a danger. But, says Charles Lee, senior vice president of the Florida Audubon Society, "instead of restrictions, you got engineering standards. And from that point on, there really wasn't any limit on growth...
Floyd is nothing, scientists warn, compared with what may lie ahead. In the next century, they say, we may see hurricanes that far exceed Floyd's top sustained winds and approach a hurricane's upper limit of 180 m.p.h.--more than capable of sending a 30-ft. wall of water surging inland, flattening houses, inundating coastal cities and stirring the ocean bottom to a depth...
Moreover, that 180-m.p.h. speed limit pertains only to present conditions. There's now a wild card in the climatic deck, observes M.I.T. atmospheric scientist Kerry Emanuel: global warming. Over coming decades, atmospheric pollution and the greenhouse effect are expected to heat not just the air but also the surface of the oceans, and it is the thermal energy of that water that fuels typhoons and hurricanes. As a rule of thumb, according to Emanuel, wind speeds increase 5 m.p.h. for every additional degree Fahrenheit of water temperature. By that formula, sustained winds in future hurricanes could conceivably...
...stymied by all the different handsets and calling plans. Now perplexed would-be purchasers of cell phones can weigh their choices on two websites: decide.com launched this week, organizes options by city and type of use (for example, local vs. business travel); point.com lets you enter a price limit and offers feature-by-feature comparisons. We found decide.com to be simpler and easier to navigate...
