4. David Kemp, professor of auditory biophysics at University College London, said: Typically, when sound travels out and up from a single source, the volume level would drop by about 84 decibels (dB) by the time you got 60 miles ('7km) away, but if the sound travelling horizontally was trapped between temperature levels then the decibel reduction can be much less.

5. The center chimed in with its two cents‘ worth on Russia‘s G8 chairmanship, saying it was "a significant event because it raises the old question of whether Russia is an open democracy or a free–market economy at all."
