The author is not suggesting that the grass pellets be used for vehicle propulsion. The suggestion is that they could be a replacement for home heating purposes.
"The bottom line is that pelletized grass has the potential to be a major affordable, unsubsidized fuel source capable of meeting home and small business heating requirements at less cost than all available alternatives."
At least in the US, I believe charities ARE required to publish this information. If it isn't a requirement then apparently a lot of them are doing it voluntarily. Go the Red Cross, UNICEF, or Doctor's without Borders web pages and you can find their budgets. The information tends to be in their press centers. Doctors without Borders is 85.67% towards program services. Management is small at 1.92% and fundraising is the other 12.41%. http://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/dona te/info.s html
So your assumptions and guesses are incorrect and are quickly disproven by looking at the charities' web sites.
Ok, water vapor sensing is exactly what I did for my master's thesis. I'm going to keep it brief though.
Water vapor has an absorption line centered at 22.235 GHz while liquid water's absorption increases with frequency^1.95. Vapor sensing radiometers do not generally measure at 22.235 GHz because the peak of the absorption line curve is extremely sensitive to pressure. There are points to either side where the curve is insensitive to changes in pressure allowing measurement throughout the entire atmosphere without having to know the pressure profile. That is why the scientists in the article want to keep the 23.6 to 24.0 GHz band for their measurments.
My radiometer measured the emission spectrum at 21.6, 22.235, and 31.6 GHz. 21.6 and 31.6 GHz were the measurements of vapor and liquid water, respectively. 31.6 GHz is a window between the 22.235 GHz vapor line and the group of oxygen lines around 60 GHz. This makes liquid the strongest contributor to the noise temperature at that frequency. The 22.235 GHz was to experiment with. By using 22.235 and 21.6 I tried to see if I could get reasonably similar results even though both frequencies were more sensitive to vapor than liquid. Two close frequencies are measureable using one antenna thereby making the radiometer less expensive and available for more widespread use. I showed that the measurement could be made, but a lot more data needed to be taken to refine the data processing. Enough information was there in the measurements, but there were factors I couldn't account for in the time I had. Hopefully in time, radiometers could become a much more common piece of weather sensing equipment. You can get a lot more data on vapor with a radiometer than you can with a weather balloon, but radiometers are currently expensive and therefore limited in usability. Water vapor is the single biggest driving factor in the weather, we NEED to be able to measure it. Cheaper radiometers would let us get more data and improve weather modeling.
"A recently found computer glitch in the voting machines in Franklin County, Indiana has given a democrat enough votes to bump a republican from victory in a County Commissioner's race.
The glitch in the machines recorded straight Democratic Party votes for Libertarians.
The votes were re-counted last night, by hand.
The company who made the voting machine is also checking into programming of it's equipment in nine other Indiana counties. " ---------------
Doesn't this sound contradictory to everyone? The machine accidentally counted straight democratic ticket votes as libertarian while accidentally giving the democrat enough votes to beat the a republican?
I realize what it says is that after correcting the glitch the democrat gets enough votes to beat the republican who was previously determined to be the winner, but man that was horrible wording.

Ralph is betraying what he ran for last time, which was to help build a viable third party, by running as an independent. The Green Party was smart enough not to run him again or else become a one-candidate party. Also, they recognized that with the number of people who say he spoiled the last election that he would be more of a liability than an asset. The Greens are winning some local elections and with time might become a viable national party by working from the ground floor on up.
I have a 2002 Prius. Over the two years I've had it I've probably averaged around 46 or 47 mpg, though I stopped calculating a year ago. (It got kind of boring since it didn't ever surprise me.)
This is an estimate because I live in the Boston area and get two consistent separate mileages. In winter I average 42-44. In summer I get 50-52. The worst I ever got was 36 driving during a blizzard for 4 hours into a strong headwind. The best was 54+.
For reference I've got an extremely steep, 1.5 mile hile at the very beginning of my commute. Also, I drive by listening to the RPMs. If the engine is racing, I ease up. If its not, I speed up and try to stay in that sweet spot.
I don't think I'm thinking of the same game as you but I remember a game for the C64 where one of the sub-games was to get your guys to advance to the top of the screen by using walls for cover to take out the turret that was shooting at them. One player controlled the turret, the other had a slew of guys at the bottom. When the guys would get hit, one of the things they'd cry out was "Medic!"
I believe another sub-game had the two players on little ledges on either side of a river in a tunnel chucking knives at each other. There were more sub-games, but I don't remember what they were.
Anyone remember the name of this one?
The "lockout" was known as selective availability which was used to intentionally make the civilian code, called C/A for coarse acquisition, less accurate than it could be.
But there is still P(Y), p for precision, code which is military only. The encryption keys for using this code are classified. P(Y) code is more accurate than C/A code because it is a much, much longer sequence before it repeats.
C/A code repeats every 1 ms. P(Y) code lasts 1 week (it doesn't repeat every week, but the difference is not important here). Therefore, the pseudorandom number sequence that the GPS receiver correlates against is much, much longer allowing for better accuracy.
There are places outside the park that rent stuff specifically for hiking the Narrows. I was there last fall and rented shoes, a staff, and a dry bag to keep my camera and lunch in.
Spend the money on the shoes, it is so worth it. Most people had their own shoes on. Sure, hiking boots are meant to withstand getting wet. But they aren't meant for hiking 3 hours through a river. Having your regular boots dry later is so worth the cost of the rental.
And you can rent a stick too! Actually, no joke, the hiking staff was very useful in various instances, mostly as a pole vault. Often, the water is clouded enough that you can't see what you are stepping on, so having it to balance yourself is very helpful. Plus, it is a nice, straight piece, perfect for twirling and pretending you are a bad-ass bo-weilding ninja.
Turned out I really didn't need the bag, but that is only because the water was very low and I never fell in anywhere.

Actually, you are all giving Bush too much credit. This isn't his idea, it's Karl Rove's. Whatever the hardliners think, Karl Rove views the war in Iraq as a distraction from domestic issues - a way to keep people loving Bush. Oh, but then the war in Iraq has turned sour & messy, so guess what?
They need a distraction from their first distraction! So he decides on space exploration, something sure to get everyone's spirits soaring. And the plan is so long, no one will ever be able to hold them accountable for their extravagent promises!
That is only if they recognize that the rock is "talking". Who says it will communicate in any way that humans would recognize as communication? Wasn't fuel in the first Starflight game a crystalline lifeform that no one knew was alive?
You think geeks are more rational & objective than other people? You must read Slashdot just for the articles then. Haven't been reading any posts, now have we?
Sounds to me like a misread statement. I take three or more attacking armies as three or more armies that are involved in the attack. The 4th army you refer to is not involved and is not considered an attacker. Begun, The Semantic War has.
And here I thought it was the staying up until 2 am that made me tired.
Seriously though, I just finished playing natural selection and I know that it has me all hopped up. I've read that to get better sleep one should do something relaxing before going to sleep. Sort of getting in the mood I guess.

Doh. I'm a tard. I meant 20.6 GHz, not 21.6 GHz. It's early, cut me some slack. :P
