Excerpt:

The Obama administration will enforce a new air quality requirement that decreases by 20 percent the maximum quantity of soot launched into the air from smokestacks, diesel trucks and other sources of pollution in its first significant regulation since the Nov. 6 election. The Environmental Protection Agency is set to reveal the new standard on Friday, satisfying a court due date in a suit by 11 states and public health groups. An authorities who was briefed on the rule said the brand-new yearly requirement will be 12 micrograms per cubic meter of air, down from the present 15 micrograms per cubic meter. The main spoke on condition of privacy because the rule hasn't yet been signed. The new soot standard has been very anticipated by ecological and company groups, who have actually battled over whether it will protect public health or reason job losses.

Key:

• Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
• The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
• The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
