Like everyone else who has ever pulled a trailer or a boat or moved farm equipment, Terry Stiles grew tired of all the headaches related to rear brake lights and turn signals. Stiles, who works as a rancher and building contractor near Malta, developed a wireless system of emergency taillights and blinkers that work by remote control.
The recent passage of the Pipeline Safety, Regulatory Certainty, and Job Creation Act of 2011 has set forth several mandates and reports to Congress that PHMSA must complete. Reports on leak detection and automatic/remote control valves are among these mandates. PHMSA is sponsoring these public meetings to further study how to encourage operators to expand the use of leak detection systems (LDS) and improve system effectiveness on the Nation's pipeline infrastructure and how remote control and automatic control valves can be installed to lessen the volume of natural gas and hazardous liquid released during catastrophic pipeline events.
Will Pakistan rift cloud peace talks? ISLAMABAD -- A top U.S. envoy said Thursday that not all insurgent factions in Afghanistan will agree to enter the peace process, meaning that force will be necessary to subdue the holdouts. The envoy, Marc Grossman, was in the region to try to patch up ties with Pakistan, whose cooperation is considered key to bringing the Afghan war to an end. Grossman's comments underscored the complexity of reconciliation efforts in Afghanistan, even as some observers hope that America's killing of al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden would nudge some Afghan Taliban to shed their affiliation with the terror network and join eventual peace talks. "Will everybody be reconciled? No, I'm afraid not," Grossman told Express 24/7, a private Pakistani channel. Afghan Preside...
Fahim criticizes Jehane Noujaim's well-timed documentary about the satellite television channel Al Jazeera when the measureless breach between Arab and Western political narratives appears to narrow, if only for an instant, before widening again. He also claims that Al Jazeera has become perhaps the most important television station in the world, a magnet for controversy since its birth in 1996.
A major electronics company has designed a television that can be instructed through signals sent by TV networks to disable the fast-forward button during commercials. Furthermore, it will not let you change the channel until the ads are over and the program resumes. Before you rise up in rage, your heart will be warmed to learn that the corporate interests who designed this technology are indeed sensitive to the plight of people who would be treated like rats in a lab. So they have included an option that bypasses this remote- control cop.
A desire to stem annual losses of $4.5 million, embrace newer technology and improve safety and efficiency is pushing Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Railway to halve its locomotive crews by replacing workers with remote-control devices, railroad officials said Friday. Over the last six months, MMA has almost doubled its number of freight trains carrying the remote controls so that almost half now have one crewmember instead of two. Within three years, the Hermon- based railroad will likely have one engineer or conductor on virtually all of its trains, President and Chief Executive Officer Robert Grindrod said.
In a characteristic scene, we see Ibrahim's reaction to President Bush's televised outrage after U.S. POWs are interviewed on Al Jazeera, along with his accompanying claim that the Arab broadcast violated the Geneva Convention. "What about bombing a city without authorization from the United Nations?" the reporter says incredulously. "What about Guantanamo Bay? Now suddenly there's a Geneva Convention? This was before U.S. abuses at Abu Ghraib came to light. And before the revelation that intelligence concerning WMDs had been "sexed up" or concocted outright. Yet Ibrahim seems to see the whole thing coming. "When did Saddam threaten you with WMDs?" he challenges Rushing in another scene. "People feel you are just inventing a reason for invading and taking their country so you can take ...
