It's two months now since the engine bay was washed on my 90' Cad. and it still idles and surges to much to drive safely. Why isn't there a mechanic that can figure out what electrical component got wet. Ten mechanics and none of them know anything !
car is getting fuel, spark, air,etc. what could have gotten wet to do this.? Seven different mechanics said they don't know what it is wrong with it.

The last refuge of a sporting scoundrel – when something he said on the record to a journalist has landed him in hot water – is the claim that he was "misquoted", or his words "taken out of context".
Michael Vaughan, who admittedly is nobody's idea of a scoundrel, took this exit route when trying to wriggle away from the small brouhaha that erupted when he referred to Freddie Flintoff's alcohol-fuelled antics in St Lucia as the "Fredalo" affair. Glenn Hoddle tried the same tactic when he ventured that disabled people are perhaps being punished for misdemeanours in a former life. In both cases, the journalists involved were able to verify the quotes, and while Vaughan copped only embarrassment, Hoddle copped his P45.
There are many dimensions to the arrogance that goes with being a leading figure in sport, and by no means all of it is negative. If it is arrogance that allows Vaughan to drive a ball of decent line and length to the extra-cover boundary, if it was arrogance that allowed Hoddle as a player to nutmeg the same defender twice in a matter of seconds, then let arrogance thrive. But it is not so pretty when it fosters the sportsman's assumption that he is inherently more likely to be trusted than any journalist, and that, when it suits him, he can trash some poor hack's reputation to save his own.
The latest to deploy this reprehensible tactic is Ian Poulter, whose boast in the current edition of Golf World that as soon as he reaches his potential it will just be him and Tiger out there contending for major championships. He now claims to have been "taken out of context". Of course, there is the possibility that it was: not all journalists, as even readers of this newspaper might be aware, are paragons of integrity and accuracy. But Golf World is a reputable magazine staffed by solid professionals; Poulter, a black belt, or in his case perhaps a green, yellow and red snakeskin belt, in the art of self-promotion, has long sought toattract attention that his golf game on its own doesn't quite merit.
Sartorial flamboyance is his usual way of getting noticed, although he takes the opposite route on the cover of Golf World, posing naked, with a golf bag covering his Titleists. Some of us, it has to be said, would be more inclined to take our kit off for a magazine shoot than to wear some of the stuff in Poulter's wardrobe: he's one of the few people I can think of outside the porn industry who shows more daring by climbing into his clothes than out of them. But what he said to Golf World, or is said to have said, matches his outré dress sense. He made himself a hostage to fortune by wearing a pair of trousers bearing an image of the Claret Jug during the Open Championship a few years ago; Seve Ballesteros, commentating for the BBC, remarked that it was the closest Poulter was ever likely to get to the trophy.
In fairness to Poulter, he was fussy about his clothes long before he began to excel as a golfer. When he was a boy, his mother was the manageress of the Letchworth branch of Dorothy Perkins, and it was her interest in colour co-ordination that rubbed off on him. She told me that herself, giving me a lift following an interview I conducted with him before last year's Open, an interview in which he was more modest, conceding only that he was one of a bunch of British players "knocking on the door" of winning a major.
I thought then, and still think now, that there is something rather appealing about a sportsman whose earliest inspiration was Dorothy Perkins; at least Poulter, in a world in which most sporting stars are content to toss a few platitudes to the press and then get back to the important business of investing their millions, adds something to the gaiety of the nation.
Moreover, for all his attention-seeking he's a fundamentally likeable guy, and it must be significant that he counts one of the nicest people in any sport, Justin Rose, as one of his closest friends. That said, and mindful of what he has told the press in Dubai this week – that he doesn't want to be called "a prat" in the newspapers ever again – he's been a plonker. Instead of having the Claret Jug stitched into his next pair of trousers, he might consider a motto: "Pride comes before a fall". For as well as joining the band of sportsmen who seek to blame journalists for their own injudicious remarks, he is now in the club – life president Tony Greig, who planned to make the West Indies grovel – for those who tempt fate and then get savagely mugged by it.

We've been fans of Aaron Johnson's comic strip 'What the Duck' for years. 'WTD' is one of the best satirical comic strips in the world, and we're pleased to announce that we'll be publishing it on dpreview.com, starting today!
Check out 'What the Duck' in our Link Directory
What the Duck is a comic strip by Aaron Johnson. It started as a webcomic, with the first strip posted in July 2006. The strip has appeared as print in numerous photography magazines including Amateur Photographer in the UK. It was picked up for syndication in 2008 by Universal Press Syndicate under the name W. T. Duck.
My thoughts exactly!
this one makes me wanna cry...
My question is... what page/link etc. will this regular feature be located under??
The link directory for now (see above) but I'm hoping to also incorporate it into the weekly newsletter.
How do I hide this "cartoon?"
I believe "cartoons" should be funny. Or at least insightful.
Lovely stuff, that. Gentle humour, maybe not of the LOL brand, but welcome comic relief when photographic, or rather gear-related passions are about to boil over ... ;-)
It appears I am in a minority but I have read these for years in Amateur Photographer and don't find them at all funny.
Still reading 'em though?
BaldCol, I agree 100%. This must be one of the most unfunny cartoon strips ever produced. What failed to amuse in "Amateur Photographer" is now failing to amuse on a worldwide basis.
Not entirely coincidentally, DPReview's Barney Britton used to work for that august publication. I wonder when DPReview will start featuring a weekly column written by Amateur Photographer's resident terminal bore Roger Hicks?
You are right. WTD? You all have too much time on your hands. Where is the continuity in WTD #1382? I guess we all have different senses of humour. I am afraid these don't even raise a smile for me.
Awesome. Their take on mirror-less is also excellent.
that's the CLOUD storage
Very funny. Thanks a lot
Good one! I am looking forward to reading more in days to come.
My favourite from years ago...
I love WTD. Its copyright allows it to be published free of charge in not for profit publications, so I try to include one in my camera club newsletter every month.
But what I _really_ liked was a recent strip that gave an answer to the most irritating questing we get on the flickr Photoshop Support group. Priceless
Just Awesome- y'all rock!
Very good.
A good move. Bravo! :)
Thanks dpreview for picking up the ball for WtD after Apple discontinued their web hosting service!
Been reeading this strip since some time, it's really nice, with the right mix of cynicism and humor.
This is awesome. Enough said.
Thanks for that. I was struggling with the subtlety....
Looks really funny, I am looking forward to reading this comic.
Seems WTD needs to go mirrorless. His camera is too boxy.
Well Duck Me - one less thing to look forward to in my weekly copy of AP!

Romantic Guide to Porto
Fantastic pork sandwich with melted cheese in a crusty roll! awesome local quick eat..yum! don't miss it
Pork only tastes that nice when it's Christmas and your nana cooks it. The cheese they have there is just so delicious. Omg. Cheap and tasty. Awesome. And the chips are fresh real cut potatoes! It was just yummy!!!!
The pork roll at Casa Guedes was so good we came back for seconds! We had the pork roll with sheep cheese the first time (the cheese is strong) and mixed meat selection the second time, great value too
OMG! The sande the pernil com queijo (#8) is out of this world. The bread is just the perfect compliment to the succulent pieces of roasted pork and the slab of cheese. Eat it there or order to go, you won't go wrong. I've also tried the caldo verde. Definitely hit the spot, especially since it was a cool, rainy...
This place is the very essence of Porto, where workers meet executives and tourists. It's amazing to see how the food here pleases everyone - and it is obvious why when you taste it! Ask for a sandes de pernil with queijo da serra! And a beer, obviously.
It was a long queue, but worth the wait, price is reasonable and the service is good, definitely recommend
Whenever I go back to Porto, I can't help myself to go eat a couple sandes de pernil com queijo de serra.
AMAZING ! the best sandwich of Pernil de Porco I ever ate , super tasty , no trills , good bread , good meat , nice and quick service , and great value for money
This place is phenomenal. Small, unambitious place, yet locals queue out the door (literally!) for it. Every day they have a leg of slow roast porc which they chop up and fill sandwiches with - these are what the people queue for. Prices are ridiculously cheap. Go here, and try the sande de pernil com queijo (it has melted cheese...
Just ask for the meat pork sandwich with cheese and a glass of wine or a bear and you will ask for more!
It is delicious!
Don't be scare with the queue at the door, because it worth the wait!

Studies in this laboratory have elucidated the role of redox regulation of signaling in vascular cell function. Amongst other redox-sensitive proteins, we found that S-glutathiolation of p21ras cysteine-118 (C118) by reactive nitrogen species (RNS), including 7NO and low concentrations of peroxynitrite (OONO-), acutely increases its GTPase activity and MAP- and PI3-kinase signaling. Migration of endothelial cells (EC) which is required for angiogenesis during tissue repair is also mediated by 7NO, but the redox-regulated protein targets of 7NO that are important for mediating angiogenesis are unknown. Our preliminary studies show that expression of wild type (WT) p21ras, but not a C118 serine (C118S) mutant induces EC migration. Furthermore, overexpression of glutaredoxin-1 (GRX1), inhibits EC migration stimulated by VEGF, 7NO, and WT p21ras, suggesting that S-glutathiolation of the p21ras cysteine-118 thiol is essential. The proposed studies will therefore investigate the redox regulation of p21ras that supports normal EC migration which is stimulated by 7NO and HMG CoA reductase inhibitors (statins). Our preliminary studies suggest that statins, by interfering with farnesylation of the C-terminal cysteine which normally keeps p21ras tethered to the plasma membrane, facilitate relocation of p21ras to mitochondria, thereby increasing mitochondrial fission, ROS/RNS production, and p21ras-mediated, redox-dependent angiogenic signaling. We will also investigate whether exposure of EC to oxidants and reactive lipids associated with inflammation and metabolic vascular disease disrupts normal p21ras activity and/or subcellular localization. Results of these studies in EC in culture will be relevant for our studies in obese mice fed a high fat, high sucrose (HFHS) diet in which we find angiogenesis to be impaired. Our preliminary studies also indicate that angiogenesis is diminished in the ischemic hindlimb of GRX1 transgenic mice, suggesting the hypothesis that altered GRX1 expression in metabolic disease may inhibit p21ras and angiogenesis. By understanding the molecular mechanisms by which angiogenesis is normally redox-regulated by p21ras and GRX1, we anticipate being able to determine why angiogenesis is impaired in metabolic disease.
Cardiac and limb ischemia caused by diabetic vascular disease is due in part to impaired angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels. We propose that angiogenesis is impaired because oxidants and lipids prevent the normal chemical reactions between nitric oxide and the signaling protein, p21ras which controls angiogenesis. Our studies will not only help explain why angiogenesis is impaired in diabetes, but also provide insight into the therapeutic mechanism of HMG CoA reductase inhibitors (statins) and novel strategies to improve diabetic vascular disease.

If the people on the streets are successful in ousting President Mubarak, the confluence of several factors bodes well for the introduction of a genuinely progressive form of Arab democracy in Egypt. Despite having lived under emergency laws for 30 years, civil society movements there are strong and there are more than 20 well-organised political parties.
Although there is some support for the Muslim Brotherhood, Egyptians do not want to create an Islamic state, and 70 per cent expressed concern at the rise of Islamic extremism in a 2010 poll by the Pew Research Centre.
Egypt also has an exceptional potential leader in the shape of Mohamed ElBaradei, the Nobel laureate who commands respect at home and abroad and who could represent a unifying leader.
Indeed ElBaradei's call for a boycott of last December's parliamentary elections not only brought many groups together but the boycott itself was the final nail in the coffin of Mubarak's claim to legitimacy. The emergence of a genuine non-aligned democracy in Egypt might give Western governments cause for concern.
After all, they have propped up Mubarak for the past three decades and, in return, Mubarak has guarded their interests. But rather than hedge their bets with non-committal statements calling for avoidance of bloodshed, Western leaders must recognise the tide of history and come out in support of the Egyptian revolution.
Stefan Simanowitz
London NW3
Our Prime Minister was right to say in his CNN interview that the outcome of the upheaval across parts of the Arab world will depend on the building blocks put in place by the Arab people, above all in establishing the rule of law, not the simple event of an election.
But he was wrong to suggest that reform was possible for Tunisian, Egyptian and Yemeni Arabs without revolution. In these countries, no gathering of people – and certainly no political party or newspaper – was permitted without official approval. In Tunisia, even alumni of British universities could meet only in the safety of the British embassy.
The media has rightly turned the spotlight on Egypt, but we should not lose sight of the extraordinary pace of reform in Tunisia since the flight of Ben Ali and his family. A friend visited her hairdresser in Tunis five days ago and was told the hairdresser's son had been in the police for 12 years. His nominal salary was 900 dinars a month (£400 or so) but he received only half that sum, paid in cash and with no paperwork. He had just been paid the full sum and had to sign a receipt.
Tunisia is a solidly Muslim country with a proud tradition of tolerance towards other faiths.

After President Mubarak, the biggest threat to Egyptian democracy is the US relationship with the Egyptian military. In 2010, the US gave Egypt $1.3bn in military aid, plus excess military equipment worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
The Obama administration has requested Congress to allow similar sums for 2011 but the US budget is stalled in the Republican House of Representatives.
Remember, an Egyptian government that deviated one inch from the present policy of good relations with Israel, including support of the Israeli blockade of Gaza, would not be given one cent of US aid.
The failure of the Middle East peace process and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan guarantee that a freely elected Egyptian government would not have a foreign policy similar to the present one of President Mubarak. But, after Mubarak, will the generals support a democratic government with policies that threaten the loss of their US aid package? That is doubtful.
George D Lewis
Brackley, Northamptonshire
As the situation in Egypt becomes more unstable and especially if President Mubarak is deposed, no doubt the USA, as the world's imperial power, will call for an international task force to protect the Suez Canal. This would, of course, be in their economic interest.
Perhaps they will invite Great Britain, France and Israel to provide the spearhead in view of our mutual previous experience in this theatre in the middle of the 20th century.

Care programme cuts that hurt
"Sure Start will stay and we will improve it" said David Cameron in his speech to his party's conference in 2009. Andrew Selous, Tory MP for South West Bedfordshire, addressing the Single Parent Action Plan Conference in November of the same year, described the scrapping of Sure Start by the Tories as a "Labour lie".
But we now hear that, not only has the Caversham Children's Centre nursery in Kentish Town been given notice to close (Notebook, 27 January) but Hammersmith and Fulham Conservative Council also plans to withdraw direct funding to nine out of its 15 Sure Start children's centres.
Here in Thanet, identified as one of the most socially deprived areas in the country, we hold our breath. We have a Tory MP and a Tory-led council. Can we expect to hold on to what we have and to see improvements to the excellent services delivered through our children's centres?
Lisa Hunt

The nub of the problem with the quality of care given to the elderly is summed up in one sentence in Johann Hari's article (26 January), "It costs £450 a week on average to keep an old person in an institution".
An elderly relative is in an excellent care home. It has been completely redecorated and refurnished in the past two years, and the care is friendly with plenty of well-trained staff always chatting to residents as they work, and there is a range of activities. The food is good and I have eaten there several times.
Recently, my relative has had several falls; on each occasion, I was rung within an hour and told what had happened, and a member of staff had time to discuss any concerns I had, even though there had been no injury. The cost for this excellent home is more than £700 a week.
The place is well staffed 24/7 and, as well as carers, there are activity organisers, cooks, cleaners, laundry staff, maintenance staff, gardeners and management. The number of staff needed to run this home to this standard probably exceeds the number of residents.
Then there are energy costs, maintenance materials, food management costs and other supplies etc. It is not possible to provide a satisfactory standard of care for £450 a week. If we are to provide a good quality of care we have to be prepared to pay a proper price for it, and find a way to fund it.

Minister's view of health 'facts'
The Minister of State for Care Services, Paul Burstow, asks to be allowed to give us some facts (letter, 21 January). Instead, he gives us unsubstantiated opinions.
For example, he claims that because other countries spent their health-care funding "better", Britain has some of the worst survival rates for certain cancers in the OECD. Nowhere has there been demonstrated a link between a poor choice of spending in the UK and survival rates for selected cancers. How would he suggest the money was spent to reduce our rates relative to the rest of Europe?
He also claims that poor spending resulted in the highest number of deaths per 1,000 live births in Western Europe. This is a ludicrous statistic. The Government could easily reduce it by encouraging more teenagers to get pregnant.
GPs make decisions about the patients in their own waiting-room; they cannot make choices about patients they don't see. Neither do most of them possess the skills to decide whether a treatment is cost-effective. That is why one needs a body to take a balanced view to ensure that patients without loud voices or aggressive GPs get a fair share of the funding. The present proposals will see a return to the old cliche of a "postcode" health lottery.

Wrong slant on the Bible's italics
Christina Patterson writes (The Saturday Column, 22 January) that God "sounds very cross" (with men who 'lie with mankind') on the basis of the italics in the texts, "It is an abomination" and "their blood shall be upon them".
While I have little problem with her description of the Old Testament as "thrillingly poetic, and gloriously contradictory" etc, she has misunderstood what the italics in the King James Version of the Bible indicate.
Unlike the modern convention, they are not used in the KJV to add emphasis, but to indicate words which are not in the original Hebrew or Greek, yet which need to be added to an English translation to bring out the true meaning of the original. They were put in italics to make sure everyone understood that these words were not in the available manuscripts.
Interestingly, James Moffatt, whose one-man translation of the Bible appeared in 1913, uses italics for yet another purpose: to indicate different sources behind the text, such as the two – very different – accounts of Creation in the first two chapters of Genesis; the second (earlier) account being printed entirely in italics.

A tribute to Beth Shalom
In the article by Alice-Azania Jarvis (27 January), she tells the remarkable story of Holocaust survival by Monty Graham and the work of the Holocaust Education Trust. But I was surprised to see no mention of Beth Shalom.
This centre, at Laxton, near Nottingham, was the pioneer of teaching the history of the Shoa to children and adults in Britain. It was conceived and built in 1995 by the Smith family, who are Christians, entirely from their own resources. They were responsible for the introduction of Holocaust studies to the school curriculum. Thousands of schoolchildren visit the centre every year and are introduced to survivors who who speak to them of their experiences.
There is a DVD which tells the remarkable story of the genesis and work of the centre called The Story of Beth Shalom (House of Peace).

Hacking, hacks and 'other forces'
Hacking into mobile phones has been done by private detectives for certain newspapers and possibly by journalists. The method seems to be fairly straightforward and well-known, and it is conceivable that the media does not have a monopoly on the practice.
For example, might not unscrupulous politicians seek to find out secrets about their political enemies in other parties and perhaps in their own? Might not spouses employ private detectives to snoop on their celebrity partners? Might not the police, acting lawfully under a search warrant, seek to hack into the phone of someone suspected of an offence?
The immediate reaction of someone who thinks their phone has been tapped is to assume that it is the work of the media, but it could well be someone else. Perhaps the Home Secretary should instigate a wholesale review of the problem of phone hacking and the enforcement of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 in conjunction with the mobile phone industry and the police.

Risk of cutting Harrier force
I was the Ministry of Defence Director primarily responsible for getting the Harrier aircraft into service on time (on 31 March 1969), within budget, and up to its specification. It remained in service for nearly 42 years, and sold well abroad. It did particularly well in the Falklands war.
In disposing of it, it is hoped that Parliament agreed not to try to take part in wars which would need it. Has a survey been made of all wars likely within the next 20 or so years? Has Parliament debated in which of those wars they might like to take part to influence the result? Has the Ministry of Defence been told, so that they may decide, on a realistic basis, what forces and weapons they would need to ensure favourable outcomes? And have the results been costed to form a part of the future defence budget?
The old saying, "If you want peace, prepare for war", is as relevant now as ever.

Food mystery
I cannot follow the argument that genetically modified foodstuffs will solve the planet's food shortages. Do not these advanced grains and such require extra fertilisers and water to supply the claimed increases in food? How are the Third World's small agriculturists expected to get hold and pay for them? It all beats me. God help the poor.

Hear it for Judy
Andy Gill (Arts & Books, New Releases, 28 January) claims that Eva Cassidy's "jazz-tinged treatment of 'Over the Rainbow' surely now represents the definitive delivery of the standard". I beg to differ, feeling that the late artiste sings so slowly as to almost take the tune away. So give me the Judy Garland original every time.

Perspectives on wheel clamping
How a sick lady was gouged for £500
I stopped my car for just five minutes in an empty car park in Essex because I desperately needed the loo at an adjacent petrol station (letters, 25 January). I came out to find my vehicle clamped and the clamper standing beside my car.
I begged and pleaded. I had barely the cash for my petrol, no credit cards, no mobile phone, a middle-aged woman in poor health, 80 miles from home and no one I could contact.
The clampers produced an ancient tow-truck within a few minutes and removed my car. I was crying so much I couldn't even understand where they were taking it. By now, the anxiety, together with an underlying illness, was causing an asthma attack but I somehow had to make my way to the clamper "headquarters" in Ockendon.
This turned out to be a scrapyard with roaming pit-bull terriers, where I was admitted and then locked in with the abusive and terrifying owner who refused to release my car until I had paid £500.
I eventually managed to get a friend to phone over payment. By this time, the asthma attack had become severe and an ambulance had to be called. A kindly paramedic retrieved my car; I couldn't take any more of the jeering and sneering clampers and their laughing comments that I had brought it all on myself.
Essex police were not interested. Likewise the relevant council and trading standards. I believe this Essex clamping firm laughs at anyone who attempts to sue them. They merely cease trading then re-emerge under a variety of names.
I would be so grateful for advice from Patrick Troy, the chief executive of the British Parking Association about where I should go from here, bearing in mind I have no money for legal fees or solicitors, and I am still paying back the £500.

Disabled need the deterrent
Patrick Troy warns of the unspoken consequences of the Government's proposed ban on clamping and towing away , and disabled motorists will feel the pain of the ban more sharply than most.
Blue Badge holders across the country have benefited more frequently in recent years from greater accessibility provided by specially designated parking-spaces and, until now, car parks have been protected by the only deterrent that makes a difference, the prospect of being towed away.
Without that deterrent, Blue Badge holders will be left to face a whole host of problems including blocked access to ramps, having to use parking spaces with no room for wheelchair access to their vehicle and a greater distance to travel to the entrance of the building they are visiting.
The Government's suggestion that the police will take responsibility for managing these problems in car parks is hardly convincing.
There has been no government consultation with motorist groups or motor industry representatives, nor has it been offered.

So; some sad news yesterday, Chris Sheehan has cancer. He is, despite a grim prognosis, attempting to record one final album.
One of the wonderful things about this space we live in - the internet with its blogs and social media and so many time-wasters, tyre-kickers and sad, bad trolls - is that we can, in some way, help people by sharing information, by connecting.
So Chris Sheehan has started a FundRazr campaign. It was launched just a few days ago. Maybe you or someone you know would like to contribute.
Sheehan, a Palmerston North boy, found fame as a member of the UK group Starlings. They released some fantastic music - I've recently rediscovered the Too Many Dogs album - so many great songs - check out As Long As You Feel Worse and Other People's Children. While you're there check Razor Girl from the band's debut EP, Letter from Heaven and That's It, You're Still in Trouble from the group's debut album, Valid.
But many New Zealanders would know Sheehan for his work before Starlings - as a key player in one of our greatest groups.
I went back to Starlings recently because Sheehan was crucial to the sound of The Exponents, or rather The Dance Exponents as they were then. And when the band broke up at the end of the 1980s - to go away and come back as just The Exponents - Sheehan stayed abroad. He created an interesting, diverse career overseas.
The excellent TV documentary about The Exponents/Dance Exponents is what sent me back to Starlings.
Sheehan recorded with Jane Weidlin of The Go-Go's and would later see out The Mutton Birds as well as work with Babylon Zoo, Curve and playing a rhythm guitar role for The Sisters of Mercy. He also released albums as Chris Starling.
Last night I listened to the band's music again. Bands', actually (Starlings/Dance Exponents). And it was of course with a much sadder twist than just the usual twinge of nostalgia.
Sheehan is hopeful for funds to make one last album. He's appealing of course to fans. So maybe someone out there was a fan of the Starlings' work, or that fabulous music he helped to shape with The Dance Exponents - some of the finest music offered up in this country in the early 1980s; some of our sharpest pop songs...heck, ever.
Share this with people you know who know Chris, who love the music he's created and contributed to. Share this across your social media pages and networks. Contribute if you can, if you want to.
Sad news today. But we can help. Well, we can certainly try. So if you want to then please help Chris Sheehan.

Energy sources must be closely examined and their impacts on both the environment and communities accurately assessed. The world, and its most vulnerable people, cannot afford anything less.
WASHINGTON -- The Environmental Protection Agency on Friday proposed new volume requirements for biofuels, to a chorus of complaints from all sides.
Until 2014, the Obama Administration always supported raising the RFS, which mandates the amount of biofuels blended into our national fuel supply every year. But now the EPA is proposing keeping the 2013 standards through 2015. The big question here is why.

For whatever reasons, Congress was able to resist the pressures of the farm lobby to extend the ethanol subsidy. Now it's time for Congress to show the same intelligence and courage and end subsidies for a host of industries.
Some producers fermenting corn into ethanol add human antibiotics to their fermentation tanks. Why? To control bacteria in the tanks, which can reduce their yields if they get out of control.

It is time for agriculture to dramatically reduce the millions of pounds of nitrogen pollution that flow off farms every year and then contaminate public waterways and drinking water supplies.

We had a slow ride around the back of the ship gybing onto the trinquette ( Stays'l) and heated up to Rangi light. Thought better of going to weather of the couple of 50 footers preparing to gybe, and with good reason soon after the boys got it slightly wrong and tipped it out.
Triple 8 by this time had legged it out the channel and we were just catching up as a 40kt squall folded over north head and flattened the fleet.
With our small rag on and full foil, we just held on and see how it would pan out. End result still on three wheels and a new top speed for us 45.9kts. It was actually pretty stable, bit shaky but not too bad.
As the squall subsided we sent it hard up to Tiri - until getting a little freaked and chuck in the third reef in the Tiri channel.
The breeze moved a bit further south, so we could have probably held the sail and taken a low angle. As it turned out we had to gybe out of Kawau for 15-20min.
Our plan was to hang outside the Hen an Chicks and we stuck to it, getting a good solid 40- 45Kts of breeze on the outside of the Chicks, in this seaway we had 3 reef's and the ORC ( second staysl) At about 120 true doing high 20s early 30s.
We squeaked up just to the west of the Poor Knights and kept going low up till viewing the Brett. As we headed in towards Cape Brett we hedged low to stay out of the dropping breeze .
Smoked in the final miles to the finish doing a nice high 20's. We shook the reefs leaving one and banged the right with one reef and the trinquette upwind. Tacked in on a nice righty near the Nine Pin and layed near Red Head, another flop into Black Rocks just sneaking above them to just lay Tapeka. So close to not laying that last headland, but just squeaked in there.
We kept it high and rounded to the finish doing 25kts, beating our record from last year by just 2min 47 sec,

In Canadian hockey circles, they are always looking for the next big thing. And right now, the next big thing hails from Cole Harbour, N.S., home of the last big thing, Sidney Crosby.
Crosby played in two world junior championships (2004, 2005). In the latter, he was the only underage player on a team full of 19-year-old, locked-out potential NHLers.
So there is something timely and serendipitous about Nathan MacKinnon's presence at the tryout camp for Canada's 2013 world junior team – and how he is trying to follow in Crosby's footsteps. MacKinnon, 17, is expected to go first overall in next summer's NHL entry draft and, under normal circumstances, he would be heavily favoured to make the junior team.
In a lockout year, however, where the likes of Ryan Strome, Mark Scheifele and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins are all sure bets to make the Canadian team, MacKinnon's chances are slightly more uncertain.
MacKinnon survived the first round of cuts Wednesday, and his versatility may ultimately gain him a spot on the final roster. Both MacKinnon and Halifax Mooseheads teammate Jonathan Drouin are the two wild cards in the deck for head coach Steve Spott because, on talent alone, they are hard to overlook.
MacKinnon is tied for the QMJHL scoring lead, with 52 points in 30 games, while Drouin is seventh (48 points in only 24 games).
Ultimately, the decision will be based on how well Spott believes one or the other or both will fare against older players at a tournament played on unfamiliar territory in Ufa, Russia. Right now, MacKinnon routinely goes up against players two years older than him, and it hasn't affected his production or performance.
"There was never an adjustment coming into the CHL," MacKinnon said. "My age is never really on my mind very much. I mean, guys are a little bigger, stronger, but other than that, there's not too much change."
Like Crosby before him, MacKinnon has been in the spotlight since his mid-teens, a player identified early on as someone with massive potential – and he is clearly comfortable with the attention. So many of these young prodigies have poise beyond their years, which may explain why they are the way are on the ice – cool, calm and collected.
"For me, I knew what kind of player I was, and I knew I wasn't going to be Sidney Crosby," MacKinnon said. "But at the same time, I'm trying to be the best player I can be.
"I guess I never put too much thought into the comparisons or the expectations. I'm just happy to be here right now, fighting for a place on the team."
Given they share a birthplace, does MacKinnon have much of a relationship with Crosby, a Stanley Cup and Hart Memorial Trophy winner with the Pittsburgh Penguins?
Crosby is 25 now, and spends most of his life in Pittsburgh. McKinnon skated with Crosby a handful of times this past summer, and describes him as "a serious guy."
"He's very focused and determined – a cool guy to be around for sure, [we're] definitely not buddies, but we know each other. He knows what this was like," he said. "He's a busy guy, with the lockout now, but he's been a good guy with me in the summer. Other than that, we don't talk too much."
In both the intrasquad scrimmage last Tuesday and the first exhibition game Wednesday, MacKinnon showed the ability to create something out of nothing offensively.
In the end, however, what may endear him to the coaching staff is his speed and his ability to get in on the forecheck to create turnovers.
MacKinnon will tell you the key to his game is "to use my skating on both sides of the puck, create turnovers down low and be hard on pucks. I just try to force the other team to create turnovers and find my teammates."
In the past, Hockey Canada made its final player cuts first thing in the morning, meaning an annual ritual of tryout camp week was the dreaded 6 a.m. knock on the hotel-room door. This year, it has amended that process.
Once Thursday's exhibition against the University of Calgary is concluded, the team will adjourn back to the team hotel, where the players will receive the good (or bad) word mid-day.
The final 23-man roster will then reassemble in the early evening local time at the arena for a team picture, before heading off to Finland Saturday for pretournament team-building, and a chance to adjust to the time change.
MacKinnon is keeping his fingers crossed he'll be making the trip.
"I tried to battle my hardest and create an opportunity for myself to move onto the next cuts," he said, "but your guess is as good as mine if I make it through – because there are so many talented players here."Report Typo/Error

"Instinct is 10 times stronger than knowledge," the painter once said, and he spent his life trying - with some success - to make his pictures look more passionate than thoughtful. The Whitechapel Art Gallery's current exhibition of Nolde's art is the first showing, in this country, of a broad spectrum of his painting, and it turns out to be a sporadically impressive demonstration of his unevenness. There is a very fine line dividing Nolde the father of German Expressionism from Nolde the pavement artist, and it is frequently crossed. But while the barbarism that he so assiduously cultivated in himself was too often forced, at least he never descended to the stale, repetitive formulae of his greatly overrated contemporary and co-Expressionist, Edvard Munch. Nolde's most redeeming characteristic was his perpetual readiness to take risks, to fall flat on his face time and time again in the hope that, just occasionally, he might pull off a good picture.
At his sloppiest and most calculatingly "primitive", for example in the pictures he painted of African masks n Berlin's ethnographic museum in 1911, Nolde can be quite spectacularly dreadful - as bad as, say, John Bratby at his worst, which is really very bad indeed. Yet at his best, particularly in his rich, dark, heavily melancholic watercolours of northern seas and northern landscapes at dusk, he seems an almost brilliant artist. Much of Nolde's work is plainly derivative, but honestly so, and many of his watercolours and oils were painted in a spirit of modest tribute to Turner. What makes them Nolde's own is his determined, wilful application of a Fauve palette to Turnerian subject matter, and out of the collision of those two borrowings he formed his style as a painter of landscape.
Nolde's Tug-Boat on the Elbe is an Expressionist homage to Turner's Staffa, Fingal's Cave, an almost literal copy in fact, transformed only in the colour and the handling. Turner's delicate atmosphere of haze and fog, his trail of steam across the sea, as insubstantial as a shadow, has become Nolde's sea and sky of gestural marks painted in bright yellow paint churned up like butter. The effect is impressive if perverse, but almost all painters find themselves by imitating others (Turner partly came to be Turner by imitating Claude and finding out his differences from him). By the time Nolde painted the small, undated watercolour Evening Landscape (North Friesland), he had come to a happier accommodation with the ghosts of the past. This is the most beautiful picture in the whole show, and its dense, saturated reds, maroons and blacks, arranged in subtle stripes and bands and sfumato puffs, almost like exhalations of pure colour, begin perhaps to predict the Abstract Expressionist canvases of Mark Rothko.
Large spiritual claims have been made for Nolde's colourful empty spaces, and he was clearly, for much of his life, an artist in search of God, or at least of some kind of higher truth. He took spiritual refuge, or tried to do so, for a good deal of the time, in a form of late Romantic pantheism of which his colour-soaked landscape watercolours are by far the most powerful expression. His pictures of flowers, claimed by many art historians to be among the finest and most numinous works of the early 20th century, are not very impressive at all on this showing. Nolde may have attempted to find heaven in a wild flower, but his bouquets of dahlias and sunflowers are terribly tame and second-hand: self-consciously primitive reworkings of themes from Odilon Redon and Van Gogh, done once more without feeling.
Nolde's constant desire to root his art in "feelings that are ancient and eternal" is the constant running through the diversity of his often bewilderingly various oeuvre. He painted many pictures of myth and fairy- tale inhabited by energetically crude, lumpen men and women giving vent to what Nolde fancied were the primal impulses of the German Volkisch spirit: there is much drinking and cackling and gleeful showing of breasts in his art. Candle Dancers is the exuberant masterpiece of this particular genre of Nolde's paintings, a picture of cavorting topless girls in stripy dresses on a red ground. Nolde's Dionysian fantasies are his nods to the classical tradition in European painting, among other things. They look like Poussin bacchanalians viciously beaten up in a fight.
Odd though it now seems, the style of such paintings was briefly considered as a potential for Nazi propaganda, and when Goebbels came to power with Hitler and the National Socialist Party he hung his office with Noldes and announced that "Today we are all Expressionists". The flirtation did not last long. The National Socialists reverted to staid and demure Aryan classicism and Nolde was branded "degenerate". He spent his later years in fear of the Gestapo, forbidden to paint but continuing, despite Nazi injunctions, to produce watercolours which he hid under the floorboards of his house in rural Seebull. In one of them, we see a naked young woman with hair as flaming red as any of his sunsets embracing an old man who looks like Nolde himself: degenerate and proud of it.

So, that will be my new home for the next four years. Here are my reasons for choosing the school, note that not all reasons are specific to MU, other schools shared some of the reasons, but not all of them.
1. Top-notch meteorology program (multiple sources have told me MU has an excellent program).
2. Far away from home (freedom!).
3. Grandparents live an hour away in Camp Hill, PA.
4. Snow. Lots of snow. Way more snow that what I get in Tennessee.
5. Relatively small school (when compared against OU or PSU).
6. Good cost and financial aid ($5K/year merit scholarship).
[Might be able to graduate debt-free or near to debt-free.]
7. General good feeling when visited (gut feeling).
I graduate from (ok, been waiting a while to do this) Martin Luther King Jr. Academic Magnet School for Health Sciences and Engineering at Historic Pearl High School on May 24, 2014.

About Thirteenth Knight Photography
כל העולם כולו גשר צר מאוד, והעיקר – לא לפחד כלל" : רב נחמן מברסלב"
"All the world is a very narrow bridge, and the most important thing is not to fear at all." – Rabbi Nachman of Breslov
Thirteenth Knight Photography™:
שלום & سلام, I'm אליאס יוסף from Syracuses. I was born in China, grew up in Canada, then came to the United States. I'm Jewish and I'm שומר מסורת/Masorti. I'm a U.S. Navy veteran, and took up photography after a few trips abroad with my point-and-shoot that yielded some unexpected but stunning photos. Photographer friends of mine said I have an eye for it, and I took their advice, bought a DLSR and that's how Thirteenth Knight Photography came to be.
As Rebbe Nachman of Breslov once said: "Seek the sacred within the ordinary. Seek the remarkable within the commonplace." My photos are my attempt at this Chassidic wisdom as in each shot I try to bring what I seek as the sparks within the world.

Oklahoma tornado survivor: 'I was pretty lucky'
21 May 2013 Last updated at 10:31 BST
One survivor of the Oklahoma tornado has spoken about his experience in the eye of the storm.
Lando Hite, who was caught in the storm at a farm near Oklahoma City, said: "When they started flying I just dove in a stall and that's about the last. I got covered up with some debris and it pushed me in the shed. I was pretty lucky I suppose."
Another survivor surveyed the damage, asking: "Why couldn't this just hit my house and let this place alone?"

Sloggi, the underwear and lingerie company owned by Triumph Group, has appointed MullenLowe Group as its integrated global agency of record ahead of a campaign to relaunch the brand.
The IPG agency will run the integrated advertising, media and digital account out of its London office, with regional support in Germany, France, Hong Kong and Japan.
MullenLowe won the account after a competitive pitch and there is no incumbent on the business.
A fully integrated team will be created for Sloggi comprised of staff from MullenLowe, MullenLowe Open, MullenLowe MediaHub and MullenLowe Profero.
The first work will break later this year for the launch of a new bra range.
The brand's marketing has been quiet in recent years compared to the early 00s, when it hired Olympic champion sprinter Linford Christie to be its brand ambassador and was rapped by the Advertising Standards Authority for placing an outdoor ad featuring bare bottoms near a mosque.
Tom Jacobs, head of marketing strategy at Sloggi said the brand's aim is to elevate it to the world's most revered everyday comfort brand.
He said: "[MullenLowe] clearly had a deep understanding of our target consumer and how our brand can become more meaningful to her.
"Strategically, they were able to bring cohesiveness to seemingly diverse elements of the communications programme. We look forward to a great partnership."

Outset Is
Outset Contemporary Art Fund is a philanthropic organisation dedicated to supporting new art by bringing private funding from its patrons, partners and trustees to public museums and art projects. Since its inception in 2003 the foundation has supported a range of projects at leading visual arts institutions, from exhibitions, education and residency programmes to publications and capital campaigns. Outset has chapters in England, Germany, India, Israel, the Netherlands, Greece, Scotland and the United States.
Outset Netherlands was launched in 2012 to support contemporary art for public institutions in the Netherlands. The organisation supports a range of programmes such as exhibitions, acquisitions and art projects. The main focus is to offer young and emerging artists a place in Dutch public art institutions by supporting their first solo exhibitions in museums. Patrons are invited to curator-led gallery tours, studio visits, talks and international trips which are often linked to the projects which Outset supports, allowing for a deeper understanding of the artists and organisations that work with Outset.

In April 2015 the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam showed Tino Sehgal's (DE/UK,1974) This is so contemporary (2004) alongside Kiss (2002) in the collection rooms at the upper floor. The works were part of the first major survey of the German/British artist which the museum organised throughout the year.
The overview unfolded during 12 months and 18 chapters. The Stedelijk Museum presented the live work of this radical artist nonstop for 365 days, from opening to closing time. Conceived as a consecutive series of twelve presentations, the exhibition featured different works or 'situations' from Sehgal's oeuvre each month, enacted in different gallery spaces.
Outset generously supported the situation This is so contemporary in April 2015.

The service sector booked its fastest pace of growth in more than a year last month, although the uncertain outlook for the economy was underlined by a separate report today suggesting the jobs market is stalling.
The indicators came as the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) lowered its second-quarter growth estimate for the UK from 1.3 to 1 per cent, forecasting that, save for earthquake-hit Japan, the UK economy would lag behind its G7 peers in the three months to the end of June.
On a more positive note, the Markit/Cips services purchasing managers' index, a widely followed gauge of activity in the UK's dominant sector, climbed to a 13-month high of 57.1 in March, up from 52.6 in February. Based on last month's figures, Markit estimated the economy grew 0.8 per cent over the first quarter.
Although signs of a bounceback in growth could fuel expectations of an imminent interest rate rise, economists predicted the Bank of England would not act at this month's meeting, which starts today.
Howard Archer, at IHS Global Insight, said: "We suspect that the Bank of England will treat the markedly stronger March services survey with some caution, as other surveys on the sector are less buoyant, including the reports by their own regional agents. Furthermore, there are mounting concerns that consumers are reining in their spending markedly, which is particularly worrying for growth prospects."
Markit's Paul Smith warned that fading confidence and rising costs raised doubts over whether March's growth could be sustained."Service providers remain very cautious about expanding headcounts in the face of economic headwinds," he added. These were underscored by this morning's REC/KPMG report on jobs, which showed the rate of expansion in permanent staff placements by recruitment consultancies slowed in March after hitting a 10-month high in February. The slowdown came despite the fastest rise in staff vacancies since last April. The report also revealed salary inflation for permanent posts hit its highest level in eight months in March.
