Coal The end is nigh
The latest "official" statistics from the World Energy Council put global coal reserves at the end of 2006 at a staggering 847 billion tonnes. Since world coal production that year was just under 6 billion tonnes, the reserves-to-production (R/P) ratio - the theoretical number of years the reserves would last at the current rate of consumption - is well over 100 years. It is commonly assumed, therefore, that there can be no shortage of coal this century. However, a clutch of recent reports suggest that coal reserves may be hugely inflated: A possibility that has profound implications for global energy supply and climate change. A report published last year by the EU Institute of Energy pointed out that as demand for coal has soared since the turn of the century, with China famously opening one coal-fired power station per week, the world's reserves have fallen fast.

Easy WebContent Web Page Editing Service
It is a rare but unalloyed pleasure to try a product or service for which you have only modest expectations, and find yourself blown out of the water. Easy WebContent, an online service designed to take the fuss out of editing Web pages, is that good. In fact, this $9.95-per-month service is better than most stand-alone Web design applications I've used during my 13 years of building sites. Easy WebContent isn't designed to compete with an Adobe Dreamweaver-scale product; it's meant to help average mortals create and update Web pages. And in that market, it has no rival. Online services such as Homestead.com use template approaches that restrict what you can do with your site; Easy WebContent comes much closer than its template-oriented competitors to being a Web design application.
Obama's Fate in Texas Hinges on Volunteers
Davis started a blog, TexansForObama.com. By the time Sen. Obama announced his run last February, Mr. Davis's blog had received offers from 5,000 potential volunteers. Shortly thereafter, when Sen. Obama came to Austin for a rally, 20,000 people showed up, many of them recruited by Mr. Davis. He collected as many names as he could, filing them in the laundry baskets. As Sen. Obama campaigned in early primaries, Mr. Davis's book club got more and more political. Without much encouragement or oversight from the official campaign, it grew, as did similar groups in other cities. Mr. Davis and other volunteer coordinators began holding weekly meetings to plan leafleting, door-knocking and the like. A Powerful Tool As the voting in Iowa and New Hampshire approached, Mr. Davis and thousands of other Texans took advantage of a powerful tool available on the Obama campaign's national Web site, MyBarackObama.com.
Brooks Global-Lok Sets a New Quality Standard in Security Seals
LIVINGSTON, N.J., Nov. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Over the past two years, E.J. Brooks has been conducting market research as part of its new product development initiative to further improve the performance and feature levels of mechanical cable seals that are used in cross border and intermodal use around the world. Being the only security seal manufacturer that is a validated member of C-TPAT as well as a strong believer in independent testing by a third party ISO 17712 accredited lab, global compliancy is Brooks number one objective. However, the logistics community raised other issues that were considered in product design and we are now announcing a breakthrough in mechanical cross border security seal protection. E.J. Brooks is proud to announce the introduction of the Global-Lok, a high security cable seal that is not only ISO 17712 compliant, but exceeds the ISO 17712 required minimum tensile strength level by 82% with over 4,000 lbs of pressure necessary to pull it apart.
