TMDL violations wrote on Oct 1, 2009 5:15 PM:" 30,000 additional acres of farm and ranchland have to be de-watered above the lake- in addition to the 100,000 acres ALREADY taken out of production according mandates in the KBRA. The KBRA document appears poised to put some upper Basinfarms/ranches out of the business of growing America's food. Also unjustified TMDL requirements will require cleaner water to leave the project than come on to the project farmlands to start with.Oh, and we'll see... (Klamath Falls Herald & News, OR)

It is ironic that at the same time that our Congress is attempting to control greenhouse gas emissions, the government is subsidizing private luxury aircraft at Hanscom Field, which is the largest single point source emitter of carbon dioxide in our community. Flying in a corporate jet is usually unnecessary, excessive consumption, according to Warren Buffett, the owner of NetJets. (Lincoln Journal, MA)

On reducing their data, the team (led by Andreas Brunthaler of the Max Planck Institute for Radioastronomy) noticed a strong new point source of radio emission near the center of M82 a smallish, irregular galaxy 12 million light-years away with vigorous star formation happening in its center. The team says the supernova must have happened between October 2007 when they didn't see any radio emission and March 2008 when they did. (SkyAndTelescope.com)
