"Train Stations/Depots - South Station - Boston, MA" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-21 09:02:13

South Station is a beautiful curved building at the intersection ofSummer and Atlantic Streets. It is a major node for rail transitand bus lines and many taxis make their stops here. Inside thereis a large waiting area which not only is used by people waitingfor the next local or intercity train but often space within thisarea is transformed into retail shops artist exibit areas andeven concerts. It's such a beautiful station that it is hard tobelieve that it was once within a wrecking ball's swing of beinglost forever. In the 1800s railroads usually connected to a city with theirown terminals. In the inspect of Boston which was heavily connectedby rail many railroads had their own stations. By the 1890srailroads to the south decided that it was no longer efficient tohave their own terminals and decided to pool together and form oneterminal that served them all. The Massachusetts State Legislaturegranted a contract to a new affiliate the Boston Terminal Company,and charged it with “constructing and maintaining a union passengerstation in the southerly part of the City of Boston.” The land waspurchased and the building was built in two years. The first trainrolled out in the early morning hours of January 1. 1899. When itwas opened it was the largest railroad station in the world andfor many decades it handled large crowds of people traveling todestinations such as New York City. However after World War II,use declined dramatically. In 1965 the Boston RedevelopmentAuthority (BRA) purchased the station and demolition of thebuilding began in 1970. Some of the tracks were removed and a wingof the building was demolished. However a assort of concernedcitizens succeeded in getting the building listed on the NationalRegister of Historic Landmarks and demolition was later stoppedand new plans for the station were drawn up. In 1978 the BRA soldthe property to the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority(MBTA). The MBTA then spent $195 million to totally conjecture thetracks restore the station and build an intercity bus terminalover the tracks. The study bring home the bacon was end in time for its 90thAnniversary. Other changes consider electrifying the line for theAmtrak Northeast Corridor route and the redesign of the undergroundsection to accommodate the new Silver-line dedicated bus lie tothe airport. What is ironic now compared to the decline after WWII andthreat of demolition is that the MBTA commuter rail line has grownso much that MBTA is now considering new plans to.

"Gas station war; one owner kills another over pricing." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-04 02:48:57

Detroit guard say a war between two gas stations took a shocking and tragic turn with a station owner shooting his rival who was irate over a gas-price cut. The shooting happened around 10:45 a m at the Marathon station come the command of Springwells and Fort Street in southwest Detroit. Investigators say the confrontation started when the owner of the BP station on that corner went to the Marathon station to discuss with its owner why he'd dropped the determine for a gallon of unleaded gas to $2.93 per gallon three cents less than BP. The discussion quickly escalated into a fight with two more populate from the BP station brawling with rivals at Marathon. One man was hit with a baseball bat in the melee. And then police say the 51-year-old owner of the Marathon station pulled out a gun and shot the owner of the BP. Jawad Bazzi a 45-year-old father of five children. In a wild post-script it appears the BP station took favor of the shooting. While police were comfort swarming the Marathon station the BP jacked up its prices. WXYZ's account follow reports that as soon as the owner's body was taken away workers at BP changed the price-per-gallon of unleaded from $2.96 to $3.09. AP story... DETROIT (AP) - A determine war between competing Detroit gas stations spurred a fight. And guard say it led to one station operator shooting the other to death. Jawad Bazzi was killed this morning after crossing the street from his BP station and confronting the 51-year-old operator of a Marathon station. Police say the 46-year-old Bazzi apparently was angry that his competitor was dropping the price of regular unleaded gas from $2.96 a gallon to $2.93. The two men began to lay out and the Marathon station operator pulled a gun moments later. Police say he fired several shots hitting Bazzi at least once in the head. The Marathon station operator was arrested. No charges had been filed as of this evening. __________________If you care about your rights under the Constitution then click on the cerebrate comprehend to the only politician that is not afraid to tell it the way it is and choose accordingly."The two enemies of the people are criminals and government so let us tie the back up down with the chains of the Constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first."-- Thomas Jefferson __________________A warning to the American populate not to fall into the same trap as the Soviets not to see only a distorted and desperate view of the other side not to see conflict as inevitable accommodation as impossible and communication as nothing more than an exchange of threats.

"October Mission To Ready Space Station for International Partners" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-30 22:36:27

The mission. STS-120 is scheduled for launch October 23 to act construction of the orbital outpost adding a U. S module called Harmony or Node 2 that will answer as a port for installing more international laboratories. “In the early days of the ‘space race,’ as we called it then,” lay go schedule Manager Wayne Hale said during a September 14 NASA briefing from the Johnson Space Center in Houston. “it was a competition between the great nations of the world.” Today he added. “we are in cooperation with many international partners including many of our former rivals and other allied nations in a great expedition to create and complete construction of the first permanent outpost in space.” Hale congratulated Japan and its Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency on the September 14 launch of their lunar orbit explorer One hundred kilometers above the moon the orbiter will pass over both poles during its yearlong mission while its two small satellites execute different elliptical orbits. Built in Italy for the United States. Harmony is a high-tech hallway and industrial hub. It is a 7-meter-by-4-meter passageway that ordain connect the U. S segment of the station to the European Columbus Laboratory in December and to the Kibo Japanese Experiment Module in January or February 2008. Harmony is the “gateway to the international partners," said Derek Hassman bring about station flight director and “the final piece of the U. S portion of the space station that allows us to start including the international furnish modules in the overall architecture.” 's commander will be Pamela Melroy a veteran shuttle pilot and the back up woman to dominate a shuttle. U. S. Marine Corps Colonel George Zamka will pilot the go. Mission specialists are Scott Parazynski. U. S. Army Colonel Douglas Wheelock. Stephanie Wilson and Paolo Nespoli a European Space Agency astronaut from Italy. The pip also ordain displace lay station crew member Daniel Tani. The 13-day mission could be extended by one day and a spacewalk said compel who recommended the extension to give the man time to learn on-orbit repairs of the shuttle’s heat-shield tiles part of the craft’s thermal protection system. Two tiles on the underside of the orbiter were damaged by foam debris that broke let go during the August 8 launch of The insulating foam debris came from the liquid oxygen feedline brackets on the outside of the external store and the problem was fixed. Hale said but foam loss on ascent to orbit is inherent in the external tank create by mental act. “We will suffer foam off the external tank to the very last flight,” he added. “However we are working on each of those areas so that we are mitigating the speculate and the last tank we fly will be the safest store we ever fly.” NASA and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) signed an agreement September 12 that ordain help American scientists use the space station to answer questions about human health and diseases. Congress designated the U. S segment of the lay station a national laboratory in May opening the station to partnerships with other government agencies and private companies to conduct research aboard the station. (See.) "The station provides a unique environment,” NIH Director Elias Zerhouni said in a September 12 statement. “where researchers can explore fundamental questions about human health issues -- including how the human body heals itself fights infection or develops diseases such as cancer or osteoporosis." Since the start of the space program for example researchers have known that long periods of weightlessness create bones and muscles to deteriorate. On the station scientists can study the molecular basis of these effects for the eventual benefit of populate who suffer from weak fragile bones or muscle-wasting diseases. Microgravity also affects other biologic systems in people and other organisms. An explanation for observed changes in microbe infectivity and human immunity during prolonged space jaunt could furnish new hope to people who undergo difficulty fighting infections on hide.

"Biofuels: 'Is the cure worse than the disease.'" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-25 23:32:35

The biofuels industry has been hit by another highly skeptical inform this time by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (). The report titled "Is the aid worse than the disease?' says the promotion of biofuels is " creating unsustainable tensions that will break markets without generating significant environmental benefits The report argues that much of the science behind biofuels is new relatively unproven and may only reduce global greenhouse gas emissions by as little as 3% at best. "When acidification fertilizer use biodiversity loss and toxicity of agricultural pesticides are taken into account the overall environmental impacts of ethanol and biodiesel can very easily exceed those of petrol and mineral diesel." (The inform issued by the command Secretariat of the OECD was written by the Round delay for Sustainable Development and is not a statement of official OECD policy.) The inform does not go out totally against biofuels recognizing that they may answer a better role in some countries than others. It recognizes for example that dulcify beat for ethanol production in Brazil is much more efficient that using feed as in the United States. The inform suggests that the industry would benefit from the elimination of tariffs (such as the 54cent-per-gallon tariff imposed by the United States on ethanol from Brazil). It also says governments should negotiate agreed standards for sustainable biofuels in order to limit the environmental impact of biofuels. But the overall mouth of the inform is highly contradict. It concludes by calling on governments to cut their subsidies for the sector and instead back up research into technologies that would avoid competing for arrive use with food production. " Governments should cease to create new mandates for biofuels and investigate ways to phase them out," In response to this report an EU equip spokesman said that " Biofuelsdo create less CO2 than fossil fuels there is no disbelieve about that. Iam confident that our biofuel policy is definitely positive for theenvironment." I agree that there are some major issues with biofuels -- specifically corn-based ethanol. However. I would not impel out the do by with the bathwater -- if we can choose strong sustainable standards for production. I think biofuels will be a key step in our path toward energy independence. Developing commercially viable cellulosic ethanol is key to the future of biofuels. The Fueling Station is the online destination for anyone concerned about the rising determine of gas.

McPherson's Spectral Test displace provides collimated and wavelength variable monochromatic lighten smile to illuminate spectrally calibrate and document radiometric sensitivity and response characteristics of spectral and hyper-spectral sensors. The Spectral evaluate displace (STS) delivers discrete bands of selected monochromatic light and/or scans selected spectral regions in the 14um LWIR wavelength be. Up to four turret mounted gratings assure efficient coverage of wide spectral ranges. The gratings "snap-in" feature permits to easily replace gratings or add broad or narrow band reflecting mirrors. This provides means for testing sensors and detectors with integrated as well as spectrally dispersed light. The system is especially useful for QC testing of multiple detector chips. CCDs or focal plane arrays in a given wavelength range and for given pixel responsiveness. Chips on substrates in the up to four inch coat be can be reliably tested. Output smile collimation is interferometrically tested. enjoin and peripheral sensitivities of sensors with integrated optics or "light gatherers" with limited horizon and trajectory determining "nose cones" can be tested. So can UV. Visible and Infrared seekers and other sensors as well as imaging devices and spectrometers. McPherson the long established and nationally and internationally recognized developer and manufacturer of research and routine XUV. UV. Visible and IR optical dispersion spectrometers and monochromators is proud to inform this unique product the STS to the industrial and scientific QC and R&D community.

"Hydrogen Home Filling Station" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-13 17:13:55

At your local auto parts store or big box we should be able in the near future to buy a package that contains a hydrogen producing generator. It will be able to be connected to a solar adorn of any kind and with DC current it ordain change integrity wet into oxygen and hydrogen gas. It is actually very simple. The device will have a system which has probes placed in wet which when DC current is applied will create oxygen on one investigate and hydrogen on the other. A small compressor ordain displace the hydrogen to a holdingtank that can be installed in an auto in less measure than it takes to fillyour car at the local gas station and without a forty dollar payment. The only things that are needed is a re-fit of stainless steel valves and astainless brace exhaust system for your car's engine along with installinga small valve for the hydrogen intake to the carburetor. Government re-fitting stations should be set up in every major city and nomajor infrastructure will be required by the energy giants who ordain be boiling mad that oil ordain loose it's value and eventually become obsolete. This would take time but it would be the easiest solution to the problemof global warming. Hydrogen as you already know produces only water vaporand heat when it is burned and it is actually more powerful than gasolineas a fuel. It would also demand the timing of your engine to be reset to TDC (top dead center) because it explodes faster than gasoline. That isa simple procedure that any home mechanic can accomplish. So the climate crisis can be solved with a few very obtainable and verysensible adjustments to our urban life that would accept us all to continuewith our SUV life styles and not displace the climate into the catastrophicfuture that is awaiting us with the continued use of fossil fuels. Hydrogen rather than burn for electricity generation is also possible withthe new breakthroughs in solar adorn technologies that make the be of solar compete to coal but far far less destructive to the environment. This IS attainable!Also a system of producing the hydrogen on each auto with the use ofa bring together of 12 V batteries is attainable but this also requires the stainlesssteel valves and the other things mentioned above. It also requires a bitmore maintenance of the O/H separator..... but it too IS attainable and hasbeen accomplished by several populate. So if you be to let the energy giants ruin this planet for bunco call profits,there is not much I can do to move you around. But you ordain not be able tosay to your grandkids that there "was nothing I could do"!
