...winners in Canada's Arctic? When the Northwest Passage finally clears enough to be a viable shipping route--probably in the next 50 years--a whole range of trade opportunities will come with it. So will resources, as fossil-fuel deposits in the ocean floor become more accessible. ArcticNet researchers are already mapping out the undersea terrain with sonar and analyzing the geopolitical implications of finding the long-sought Arctic Grail. Their proposals should help the government deal with an international legal dispute already under way: whether the Northwest Passage is within Canadian waters, subject to domestic security and environmental...
There are also different kinds of criminals, not all of them in Tony's league--feloniously or dramatically. The high-class burglars in NBC's Heist (Wednesdays, 10 p.m. E.T.), planning to take down a Beverly Hills jewelry store, fall into the Ocean's Eleven school of fast-talking, ice-cool swells. (Hustle, a British import nearing the end of its season on AMC, takes a similar tack with a band of con artists.) The robbers (led by Dougray Scott and The Practice's Steve Harris) gab about strippers and Mother Teresa while on a job; the cops who chase...
...cars and LOOTERS WILL BE SHOT signs spray-painted on plywood. (The show was set and the pilot shot in the city a year before the hurricane.)

We're not all criminals, but what makes us men is how we choose to stand--how we meet those things that are hard...
...nearly all the sun's energy that hits it. As the planet's ice melts, more of that energy is absorbed by Earth--which further raises the temperature. That, in turn, makes the remaining ice melt quicker ?20% reflected by vegetation and dark soil ?10% reflected by ocean water ?90% reflected by ice MELTING ICE RAISES SEA LEVELS INUNDATING LOW COASTAL AREAS WASHING ASHORE The ice at the North Pole is floating, so as it melts, the sea level won't change much. But the massive ice sheets over Antarctica and Greenland are another story. If both...
...transition to a downtown operation without any loss of originality. A minimalist, city-center bungalow is now the setting for Tetsuya's stunning 10-course degustation menus of Franco-Japanese cuisine (priced around $130). While this is not a seafood restaurant per se, fish features very prominently. Confit of ocean trout is sublime, ditto the trevally fillet with preserved lemon and sushi rice. Book well in advance (in fact, several months ahead if you want the prized garden view from table 25), by calling...
