With regard to a specific definition of new gas, the so-called Christmas Bill, developed in the House, more successfully keeps the original purpose of incentives in mind. To receive the higher price, a gas company would have to drill a well on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) at least two-and-a-half miles away from, or 1000 feet deeper, than an existing well. The House energy conferees recommended an intermediate price increase for gas from wells drilled between one-and two-and-a-half miles from an existing well. But going on the assumption that gas producers will...
Planet earth is signaling its presence to outer space with I Love Lucy and Tonight? You've gotta be kidding. When outer space sends its answer, we'd better be ready to duck...
...coating of gibberellic acid is by no means the first attempt at chemical golf. In 1928 Samuel J. Bens of New York City took out patent #1,664,397 on a golf ball "with chemical pockets dotting the outer skin." When the ball impacted the pockets burst, releasing a miasma of ammonium chloride. This simple method of chemical detection would definitely be a boon to the golfer traipsing his way through a snow bank in search of the elusive pill...
...earthy. She has fire and excitement in her eyes. Her body looks healthy, and strong enough so you could wrestle and roll with her." So says Francesco Scavullo, a Manhattan-based fashion photographer. He is right; the great-blue-heron look of the early '60s has been consigned to outer darkness. Hollow chests have been replaced by noticeable and often visible breasts, and haughtiness by a sometimes even more disconcerting look of warmth and directness. Artificiality is out and naturalism is in: wind machines to fling hair about in a suitably natural manner have become as important as print dryers...
...constructed a remarkable sensor that warns of pressure increases by means of radio telemetry. As the investigators explain in the Journal of Neurosurgery, they drill a small hole in the patient's skull and insert a piston so that its base rests on the brain's outer casing. Built into the piston is a miniature induction tuner. If pressure inside the cranium increases, it pushes the piston up a fraction of an inch, thus transmitting a signal to the telemetry receiver at the patient's bedside...
