...junior Dick Raines tread too rashly through the treacherous turns and took a top-spin tumble. Though tripped up this time, Raines, who last year worked as a Guatemalan teamster, intends to take himself to the top of eastern alpine skiing. He titilated expectations in the tilt at Jimminy Peak last week where he tamed all other skiers and took the trophy...
...THREE-STEP RULE. Around for about 30 years, this well-worn rule holds that any stock market move, large or small, up or down, happens in three stages. The Dow Jones industrial average made three huge strides upward between its low of just 93 in 1942 and its 1966 peak of 995. Since then, the market has experienced three major declines, the most recent one beginning in January 1973 after the Dow hit its alltime high of 1,052. Gould reckons that there is at least an even chance that this third decline in the series ended with...
...objective of the impact analysis was to evaluate the maximum carbon monoxide levels which could arise as a consequence of both adverse meteorological conditions and peak roadway traffic. Although motor vehicles are also major contributors to community nitrogen oxides and reactive hydrocarbon emissions, these species participate in a series of complex photochemical reactions for which the current atmospheric diffusion modeling technology does not permit preparation of reliable estimates of projected concentration levels. Therefore, emphasis was placed principally on carbon monoxide concentration levels as this pollutant is relatively inert. In addition, carbon monoxide is the pollutant emitted in the largest quantities...
...with conversational interference occurs above 70 dBA. In the community around the Library site, existing outdoor day-time 10-percentile noise levels range 51-78 dBA, depending on location and day of the week. The 10 percentile daytime noise levels for 17 sampling locations averaged 71 dBA during weekday peak traffic hours, and 67 dBA on Sunday afternoons. Thus the area is already fairly noisy...
...projected Library-related traffic is expected to increase the afore-mentioned average noise levels in the peak year of visitation to 72 dBA during weekday peak hours and 71 dBA on Sunday afternoons. These noise increases of 1-4 dBA are hardly significant but must be considered in the context that noise levels are already high enough (above 70 dBA) to cause significant interference with conversational speech in many outdoor areas...
