House Republicans on Thursday scuttled a bill that Democrats hoped would help lower gasoline prices by forcing the Energy Department to release 70 million barrels of oil -

Democratic leaders had brought the proposal up for debate under rules requiring a two-thirds vote to pass.But passing the bill by just a majority would have meant allowing Republicans to force a vote on new offshore drilling leases. They re hiding from a vote, said GOP leader John Boehner of Ohio. They re scared to death to allow us to ... force their members to vote on drilling. Democrats said the release from the oil reserve could provide relief at the pump within two weeks, though they would not say how much it would help $4-per-gallon gas. Earlier releases, such as a 34 million barrel drawdown in 1991 during the Persian Gulf War, caused prices to fall.As debate began, the White House threatened a veto.

In 1960, scientists did one of those experiments that just aren ;t allowed anymore. For the sake of science, they blew up three 3oo-lb anti-submarine bombs off the coast of Australia. A listening station 10,000 miles away in Bermuda鈥攐n the exact other side of the planet鈥攚aited. And waited. And, about three and a half hours later, they saw the blip that confirmed their hypothesis: Yes, sound in the ocean really can travel across the world. Some fifty years later, Brian Dushaw, an
stanley botella oceanographer at the University of Washington, has been reconstructing that 1960 experiment. His interest is not sound, however, but temperature. Sound travels more quickly through warmer water, and the speed at which sound traveled in 1960 is thus a snapshot of average ocean temperatures half a century ago. Much ocean temperature data is also of surface waters, but th

That because sounds in the ocean don ;t just bounce around willy nilly. Due to a quirk of physics, sound waves about a kilometer deep, though the exact depth varies, get trapped in the SOFAR channel: The competing influences of temperature and water pressure keep those wa
