...While the high-profile announcement this week of a new framework indicates support for a deal from both governments, the price question has yet to be resolved. If settled, Russia could begin supplying China by as early as 2014 and eventually provide China with as much as 70 billion cubic meters a year - nearly 90% of the 80 billion cubic meters China consumed...

If the high ceilings weren’t enough, the skylights make this suite an apt location for the “Heaven” in the annual “Heaven and Hell” party. And the Terrace may have its balcony, but if you?...
...average North American city contains about 14 micrograms of particles per cubic meter of air - a vast improvement, thanks to clear-air laws, over the amounts found more than a decade ago.

In the coming months, Ukraine will have to spend $4 billion to buy the 19.5 billion cubic meters of gas it requires to fill its storage reservoirs before the cold comes again. But how it will afford the purchase from Russia remains unclear. "We have doubts about the solvency of Ukraine," Medvedev said, according to Russian news agency Interfax.
