EPA’s Climate Change Site offers comprehensive information on the issue of climate change in a way that is accessible and meaningful to all parts of society – communities, individuals, business, states and localities, and governments.no matter how much you pay, is a good thing

Is your oil and natural gas royalty comparable with others on the same pipeline or in similar circumstances?

Typically, the daily posted crude oil price is a benchmark price from where a lease bonus is also added or subtracted from the bulletin price, depending upon the oil gravity, the distance to Cushing, Oklahoma, and other negotiated issues.

Fuel-Air Explosives [FAE] disperse an aerosol cloud of fuel which is ignited by an embedded detonator to produce an explosion. The rapidly expanding wave front due to overpressure flattens all objects within close proximity of the epicenter of the aerosol fuel cloud, and produces debilitating damage well beyond the flattened area. The main destructive force of FAE is high overpressure, useful against soft targets.

For gasoline vapor, the explosive range is from 1.3 to 6.0% vapor to air, and for methane this range is 5 to 15%. Many parameters contribute to the potential damage from a vapor cloud explosion, including the mass and type of material released, the strength of ignition source, the nature of the release event (e.g., turbulent jet release), and turbulence induced in the cloud (e.g., from ambient obstructions).

By mass, human cells consist of 65-90% water (H₂O), and a significant portion is composed of carbon-containing organic molecules. Oxygen therefore contributes a majority of a human body’s mass, followed by carbon. 99% of the mass of the human body is made up of the six elements oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus.

There is a large number of ways to trade carbon emissions, from the exotic to the mundane.

Cremation is the process of final disposition of the body in which the body is exposed to extreme heat, usually 1800 – 2000 degrees Fahrenheit for two hours or more.

Almost all organic material in the form of a dust cloud will ignite at temperatures below 500 ^oC approximately the same temperature as a newly extinguished match.

TNT generates well over 4,000 psi overpressure in close proximity to the source of the explosion.

The the 550-pound CBU-72 cluster bomb contains three submunitions known as fuel/air explosive (FAE). The submunitions weigh approximately 100 pounds and contain 75 pounds of ethylene oxide with air-burst fuzing set for 30 feet.

In 1998, 153 facilities released 640,949 pounds of ethylene oxide.

At room temperature, it is an extremely flammable and reactive gas.

For scientific calculations, room temperature is taken to be roughly 20 to 25 degrees Celsius

The FCC is not requiring consumers to dump their existing devices, but some say the rule will make some equipment obsolete. All recordings made on compliant devices will be encrypted, which means they must be played back on compliant devices.

“More than 40 million DVD players in consumers’ homes today will not be able to play content they record on new ‘flagged’ devices,” says Chris Murray, legislative counsel of the Consumers Union.

All the way around, the consumer wins, and free TV stays alive,” Valenti said.

The FCC ruling comes in the wake of political pressure exerted by the movie and television industries. In a move to avert online piracy of its movies, the Motion Picture Association of America told lawmakers the movie industry would not license its “high-value” content for digital television broadcast unless a rule prevented viewers from distributing it in turn.

Tuesday’s vote orders makers of hardware that can receive digital television signals to build in recognition of broadcast “flags” that copy-protect content. When the flag-compliant device, such as a PC or DVD recorder, detects content containing a broadcast flag, it prevents its “indiscriminate” transmission over the Internet.

Mr. Dauman has pledged to double Viacom’s digital revenue to $500 million this year

“It’s no longer permissible for them to have unauthorized copyrighted material on there.”

The media company says it spends “tens of thousands of dollars” a month searching for its programming on YouTube so it can request its removal.

Broadcast and wireless services depend on the use of the airwaves. DTV technology is much more efficient than the current analog technology and will allow the broadcast of more program content using less broadcast spectrum. Transitioning to digital broadcasting will free up resources for public safety and other new and innovative services for American consumers.

A PILOT project offering armchair access to public services through digital TV was today branded a waste of money.

Congress has set February 17, 2009, as the date when all analog broadcasting must stop

(sending important data to education institutions or during emergency and public safety situations)

(c) Broadcasters that choose to implement datacasting should transmit information on behalf of local schools, libraries, community-based nonprofit organizations, governmental bodies, and public safety institutions. This activity should count toward fulfillment of a digital broadcaster’s public interest obligations.

Digital television broadcasters who choose to multiplex, and in doing so reap enhanced economic benefits, should have the flexibility to choose between paying a fee, providing a multicasted channel for public interest purposes, or making an in-kind contribution.Â

The television broadcasting industry should voluntarily provide five minutes each night for candidate-centered discourse in the thirty days before an election.

Broadcasters should work with appropriate emergency communications specialists and manufacturers to determine the most effective means to transmit disaster warning information. The means chosen should be minimally intrusive on bandwidth and not result in undue additional burdens or costs on broadcasters. Appropriate regulatory authorities should also work with manufacturers of digital television sets to make sure that they are modified to handle these kinds of transmissions.

Most recently, broadcasters created an investment fund, Quetzal, with initial cash commitments of $175 million and ultimate purchasing power of possibly $1 billion, to spur ownership of television

All Americans should have affordable access to robust and reliable broadband products and services. Regulatory policies must promote technological neutrality, competition, investment, and innovation to ensure that broadband service providers have sufficient incentive to develop and offer such products and services.

The FCC yesterday approved regulations that will make it easier for telcos such as AT&T and Verizon to launch new TV services.Â

Kevin Martin’s FCC is giving telco television a boost by passing new rules that are designed to speed up the local video franchising process.

The Federal Communications Commission’s order is aimed at preventing municipalities from imposing “unreasonable” barriers when they negotiate video franchises with telephone companies.

both Verizon and BellSouth were adding on new “regulatory fees” or “supplier surcharges” that almost exactly matched the Universal Service Fund fees they were no longer required to collect for DSL service.

Time Warner Cable says they took National Geographic off its analog tier so they could add four new high-definition channels.

“Free TV worth watching” was one of the basic promises of digital TV all along.

and this is the best you can do while screwing us?
