Think to bring all-electric cars to U.S. next year
Ethanol pumped in all states, but not everyone sold on it
( ? I'd say there was a perceptable increase in mileage when I went to mid-grade and high octane - improved performance in rice-grinders and less problem with moisture in winter. For me there was no signicant bottom-line cost difference with 5-10% ethanol after allowing a few pennies/liter higher price . )
The World's Most Innovative Companies
China's love for big cars leads to U.S. - type remedies
( Europeans have faced higher prices at the pump for a long time ; and get higher performance with lower displacement. However, China may have the longer travel distances of the U.S., where lower rpm/larger displacement usually equals less wear. Making cars uses energy too. )

"Of al Qaeda and Bush, Bush is the larger threat to the lives and rights of the people and the Constitution."
BUSH'S CONSPIRACY TO CREATE AN AMERICAN POLICE STATE; PART V : PUBLIC OPINION BECOMES IRRELEVANT
"Media fixation with every aspect of politics but issues is evidence of insidious media cynicism, an entrenched belief that Americans will not read or understand a story unless it has star quality and celebrity in it. Media fixation with every aspect of politics but issues is also evidence of media that is either out of touch or under the control of the corporate establishment. In the end, public opinion will have missed the point and will not matter."

The Toxic origins of disease
Microsoft's "Chain of Trust"
The toxic origins of disease
( 'Soft drinks' are acids contained in plastic. Do they leach anything from their container ? You do remember Coke has applications as a cleaning agent. )
Gene-Environment interaction in Yeast Gene Expression
( Aren't you glad not to be tied up with understanding ailments associated with the gut ? A diet high in sugar grows lots of yeast : an imbalance which can be hard to diagnose for an ordinary person caught up with bad dietary practice; i.e. almost everyone on a 'Western' diet. Plus - not all microbial stews which digest food are the same. It isn't just the human genome - or diet - which is variable.)
Host PRP glycosylation : a major factor determining the outcome of prion infection a.k.a. Jacobs-Cruzfeld in humans, 'Mad Cow' in bovines. As an aside, I'm recalling a British farmer's hypothesis that there was a relationship involving magnesium levels in soil [ from fertilizer ] and agricultural chemicals - as the condition isn't properly understood as an infection.
