AUSTIN, Texas — Using newly available technology, a University of Texas seismologist tracking small earthquakes in the Barnett Shale play area of North Texas has found a correlation between geological disturbances and the sort of injection wells that are associated with hydraulic fracturing, according to research appearing this week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Cattle are being bred with genes from their African cousins who are accustomed to hot weather. New corn varieties are emerging with larger roots for gathering water in a drought. Someday, the plants may even be able to "resurrect" themselves after a long dry spell, recovering quickly when rain returns.

The company lost $3.7 billion in profits that quarter, and attributed much of that loss to Atlantis’s closure.

r COREXIT 9500 in response to widespread public concern. It contains butanedioic acid, a wetting agent in cosmetics, sorbitan, found in everything from baby bath to food, and petroleum distillates in varying proportions — and it decomposes almost entirely in 28 days. “All six (ingredients) are used in day-to-day life —in mouthwash, toothpaste, ice cream, pickles,” Nalco’s chemist, Mani Ramesh, said. “We believe COREXIT 9500 is very safe.” Yet, those solvents — petroleum distillates — are also known animal carcinogens. In England, they conducted the “Limpet Test” using that dispersant. It failed, killing the limpets. Now the United Kingdom won’t allow its use.

The lawsuit seeks to compel the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to issue a rule on chemical oil dispersants.

Reefs have been created from parts of oil and gas platforms, Liberty ships, and concrete and other materials to provide habitat for marine life.
