Ownership Problems Delay Second Leg Of Yamal-Europe Gas Pipeline

Minsk, Russia (RIA Novosti) Oct 18, 2007 - The construction of a second leg of a pipeline delivering natural gas via Belarus to Europe has been delayed due to ownership disputes, Russia's ambassador to Belarus said on Wednesday. Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko proposed on October 12 that Russia start to build a second leg of the Yamal-Europe gas pipeline, and offered free transit for five years. Alexander Surikov said the delay was unrelated to Russian state gas giant Gazprom's problems in Belarus: We burnt our fingers with the first leg due to ownership problems in Poland, and the construction of the second leg is being delayed until this issue is resolved.

Iowa State Engineers Hope To Build Better Roads By Using Ethanol Co-Products

Ames IO (SPX) Oct 17, 2007 - Iowa's soil is great for growing corn. But it's not so great for building roads. Soil around the Midwest is mostly soft clay and till deposited by glaciers, said Halil Ceylan, an Iowa State assistant professor of civil, construction and environmental engineering. It's hardly the bedrock engineers would like for a good, solid roadbed. And so the soil under Iowa's roads often has to be mixed with chemicals that bind and stabilize soil particles. That improves soil strength. And that makes for better roads.

Putin Calls For Shared Use Of Most Of Caspian Sea

Tehran, Iran (RIA Novosti) Oct 17, 2007 - Russian President Vladimir Putin told a Caspian summit in Tehran that the bulk of the Caspian Sea should be left for the common use of its five littoral states. The Caspian Sea should not be covered by numerous state borders, sectors and exclusive zones, Putin said. The less territory they occupy and the more water remains in common use, the better. The Russian leader said the Caspian states could develop oil and gas resources under the seabed using existing national zones for mineral use, which have already been defined in the northern part of the sea.
