Top Gear magazine in 1994
All the covers and quotes from another year in the life of Top Gear mag
Posted: 16 Sep 2013
Clarkson in 1994: "Michael Schumacher is a German. Which means that he should, by rights, be fat, loud, vulgar and in possession of some ridiculous clothes to go with his absurd facial hair."
Three cars from 1994
Lancia Delta Integrale Evo III
What we said: "The Lancia twists its way down a bendy lane at mesmerizing speed. The steering is sharp and firm, the body barely rolls and the wheels never seem to lose grip. When they finally do, the car slides in a gentle, smooth drift. It's exhilarating, but it has the potential for disaster because this is a car you just want to drive faster and faster and faster." February 1994
Aston Martin DB7
What we said: "The DB7 really is a driver's car with brass knobs on, but without the heavy clutch, awkward gear-change, and temperamental behaviour in traffic which has characterized so many GT cars in the past. The grip available is phenomenal, though the tail will swing out brutishly if provoked, and the DB7 will come to a halt quicker than just about every other production car we've tested. High praise can also be directed at the steering, which is taught and perfectly weighted." November 1994
Audi RS2
What we said: "The RS2 goes just about as quickly as anything with four wheels that you're likely to come across on the road and it stops, wet roads or dry, as abruptly as a fly on the windscreen. I defy anyone to climb into its kidney-hugging Recaro sports seats, cast their eyes over the neatly laid-out dashboard with its swanky white dials, switch on, and not drive like an absolute loon at all times, all over the place." November 1994
The best-selling car of 1994: Ford Escort
The best-selling song of 1994: Love Is All Around - Wet Wet Wet
And elsewhere in the world in 1994: The Channel Tunnel opens in May - bridging the gap between the UK and France, OJ Simpson is charged with the murder of his ex-wife and her friend, and Ayrton Senna is killed in a crash during the Italian Grand Prix.

There's something about Las Vegas that makes people do crazy things, as if the laws of civilized society don't apply in Nevada. The above quote popped into our collective brains as we caravanned from Original Parts Group in Seal Beach, California, to the 2011 West Coast season opener in Vegas.
High winds didn't stop intrepid Bow Tie fans from making it out to The Strip in Las Vegas for the second-annual Super Chevy Show at this venue. If you're thinking, "How could they have a car show in the middle of Sin City?" then you would be right to be confused. The show actually took place at The Strip at Las Vegas Speedway about 10 miles north of the famous Vegas strip.
While the show car turnout was more Spartan than we'd have liked due to the "breezy conditions," the quality was extremely high. On the plus side, the drag pits had their fair share of winners and losers. One competitor caught fire the wrong way on Saturday night. But as things cooled down a bit, one man broke through the 5-second barrier and made history; his name is Mike Maggio and his 1970 Pro Street Camaro made for one very exciting 245-mph pass. The Pacific Street Car Association put on an incredible display of quarter-mile action with 19 cars competing.
While the track was hot, so was the show circuit. Show cars came from as far as 1,000 miles away to preen.
Thanks to some serious pre-event networking by sponsor Total Cost Involved, the autocross was an unqualified success. Also sponsored by Toyo Tires, Currie Enterprises, and Wilwood, the turnout was the highest we've experienced to date. Thanks to the Las Vegas region of the SCCA for setting up the courses (Sunday's was different than Saturday's) and for all they did to help the more inexperienced participants.
Las Vegas Super Chevy showed that while the wind might keep a couple of show cars in their trailers, it can't stop the real gearheads from bringing their A-game and laying down some rubber, and some serious quarter-mile times.

SIBLEY, Iowa — A one-vehicle rollover early Tuesday morning in Osceola County led to a fatality, according to the Osceola County Sheriff's Office.
Authorities responded to the accident at 6:54 a.m. Tuesday on Nettle Avenue, about 2 miles west of Sibley. The report states Dennis Anthony Croatt, 61, of Granville, was southbound on Nettle Avenue when he lost control of his 1995 Ford pickup truck. The truck entered the west ditch and came to rest on its top.
Croatt was pronounced dead at the scene. The accident is still under investigation.

Hang tight!
Recipe by Sandi Gregory Johnson
"This tastes just like the cole slaw served at popular fried chicken or fish restaurants. It's excellent with burgers or on top of BBQ'd pork sandwiches, too!!!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

Watch video tips and tricks
1 (16 ounce) bag
coleslaw mix
2 tablespoons
diced onion
2/3 cup
creamy salad dressing (such as Miracle Whip™)
3 tablespoons
vegetable oil
1/2 cup
white sugar
1 tablespoon
white vinegar
1/4 teaspoon
1/2 teaspoon
poppy seeds
More like 4 and a half stars. A tad on the sweet side (should have listened to reviews and cut back on sugar some), but still so so yummy. Seemed dry when first put together, but it really creams up quickly in the frig - 2 hours is plenty of time for it to set up. I added two diced radishes, I think next time I will add four, to help the sweet factor and to add some more crunch. Aftter reading reviews, I added more onion, ground mustard and a tad more salt. Yummers! Served with ribs and baked beans. My boyfriend's take: "better than Southern cooking and I never had to leave my porch in Arizona." And he is picky about his slaw. POSTSCRIPT: I cut back on the sugar the next time, and it just didn't taste as good. I tried adding the sugar back in after I had already added the slaw -- didn't really work.
I found this to be too sweet and too heavy on the dressing- if I make it again I will reduce the sugar by about half and add the liquid to the slaw mix bit by bit until I get the desired amount of wetness- with the full amount of dressing it was just too goopy.

This was great! I used mayo instead of miracle whip and rice wine vinegar instead of white vinegar, but just barely cut back on the sugar because rice vinegar is slightly sweet. My friends agreed that it was even better than the slaw at the great BBQ place in town. Will definitely make again!
The BEST slaw recipe ever!! I just finished making it and YUM-O!!! Can't wait to try it in a few hours. It taste's just like the coleslaw at the fast food chicken place. The only change that I made was I substituted celery seed for the poppy seed. I didn't have bagged slaw mix, shredded a head of cabbage and a carrot. I just wanted to add that I have use allrecipes for a few years and this is the first time I have taken the time to rate a recipe, it's that good!!!
Delicious cole slaw! Creamy and sweet, just the way I like it. I use real mayo, celery seed instead of poppy, a dollop of sour cream instead of the oil, and a little extra salt and pepper. Thanks.
I just made this coleslaw for a big cookout that I am hosting tomorrow and I had to rate this right away! It is delicious! I haven't even chilled it for the 2 hours and it is so good! I can't wait to share it with my friends and family. I followed the recipe exact with the exception of using mayo and no poppy seeds. This is my slaw recipe for now on, thank you!
Being a midwesterner, I've had a lot of different kinds of restaurant and tavern coleslaws with my Friday night perch dinners, but this is the best by far!
This was absolutely delicious, and I'm not even a huge slaw fan! I used two bags of prepared slaw, and made the dressing as directed. Plenty of dressing. Refrigerated overnight, and plenty of sweet, creamy slaw. Nice recipe, I'll do this one many times.

Senate panel to mull early voting bills for SC
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina lawmakers are scheduled to take another look at early voting.
A Senate subcommittee on Wednesday is to consider several pieces of legislation that would set parameters for how the process would be handled. The proposals set out plans, including how long the early voting period would be and how many voting centers would be open in each county.
South Carolina technically doesn't have true early voting. But it's fairly easy for people to vote absentee, either by mail or at their county election office weeks before polls open, if they give an excuse for why they can't vote on Election Day, like being on vacation or at work.
Republicans have rebuffed Democrats' previous attempts to implement early voting.

IOWA CITY, Iowa - President Barack Obama's re-election campaign in Iowa could come down to the 200 or so people who gathered Tuesday evening at a student summit to support the president, campaign officials told the young crowd.
"This year is going to be much tougher," Mitch Stewart, Obama for America Battleground States director, said. "What the president needs from you is to believe in the power of your action, believe in the power of your voice."
About 200 students, mainly from the UI, filled a ballroom at the Sheraton Hotel downtown for the Greater Together Student Summit. Students from campuses across Iowa, including Iowa State University, Luther College, Drake University and Loras College, joined the event via webcam.
Iowa is a swing state at the nexus of the needed electoral votes for Obama, Stewart said. The students were urged to spread their support via Facebook and Twitter, and to talk to friends about why they back the president. Stewart and other speakers stressed what they say is at stake for young voters in this election, pointing to Obama's health care reform and support for higher education funding.
Kal Penn, an actor known for his roles in "House" and the "Harold and Kumar" movies, told the crowd he saw the strength of Obama's character during his time working with the campaign and later as the White House associate director of public engagement. Obama fought for increases in student aid and health care reform, but there is still a lot of work to be done, Penn said.
"Do we really want to roll back all the progress or do we want to keep it going?" Penn said.
Students at the event said they support Obama's efforts to decrease student loan debt and his work on health care reform. Others pointed to the end of Don't Ask Don't Tell.
"I know Obama will support women's health care issues," UI senior Jenny Hand, a 22-year-old psychology major from Bensenville, Ill., said.
The event was "probably the largest of the semester for Obama supporters" and a chance to show unity, Bill Cook, a UI sophomore in political science, said. He likes Obama's work on health care, college affordability and support for the middle class, said Cook, 19, from Crystal Lake, Ill.

New NXT Book
A new book for NXT has shown up, with authors Mario Ferrari, Guilio Ferrari, and Dave Astolfo contributing. There is very little information on the book's format and content, but it mentions that this is an update of the previous Mindstorms RIS version of the book.

I guess the first thing they could do is fix the title from "NTX" to "NXT".

Folks - this image was a prelimiary release. Unfortunately, I was not given the chance to review before it went public. The design, images and text will change soon. Including the reference to this NTX thing? What is that anyway???

Well, guess what, I bet the parking mode has a hardcoded max speed implemented.
its cool but kind of stupid. its faster to find a place yourself and park. you never know when something may go wrong and it ends up crashing at full speed.

Posted 23 January 2013 - 20:33
did you watch the video? I know Lexus has had the parallel parking feature but I have never seen a car with this type of feature.. drop off and pick up ?
other cars have had this for ages, my mate bought a car two years ago that parked itself.
nothing new here.
it actually worked very well, parked perfectly every time aswell!
edit: also this ad is playing it up, obviously it only does it with you in the car lol. Then if something did go wrong (highly unlikely) you just press the brake/take control.
My friends car had cameras too so it was a little easier to trust since you could see how close you were.
Truly amazing sittting in the car watching it parralel park itself into a space not much bigger than the car
Posted 23 January 2013 - 21:34
You clearly didn't watch the video.
Glassed Silver:ios
Posted 23 January 2013 - 23:21
I did watch it... I know about the cars... you clearly can NOT see me what I was doing. That video was showing me that a lady parked her car then she used her device to let the car park itself in the garage and then end of the working day, the car came out of the garage so she goes out.
Ford has it, Audi has it... you know? Almost every cars have it. That feature and auto drive do not excite me, whoope deee doo.
I visit cars/trucks websites and I used to have the magazines for awhile before I quit them so I read them on their websites.
I have seen a video that Google has their own self driving car which let the blind man sit in the driver seat.
I have seen these videos before these users post them on the forum.
Have you been to my place? No? Then from now on, please do not say that to me or anyone.
Posted 23 January 2013 - 23:31
Oh come on dude.
"almost every car company"
Maybe among the biggest brands. Do you know how many car brands there are?
And don't get so upset about a single line of doubt about you watching the video. What's the matter? I didn't insult you, did I?

Gold Weight
Gold was extremely important in the economic and political life of the Akan kingdoms of southern Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire. Until the mid-nineteenth century, gold dust was the primary form of currency in the region. In order to measure precise amounts of gold, an elaborate system of weights, usually made of cast brass, developed by the seventeenth century. Gold weights took many forms: simple geometric shapes; animals, such as leopards or birds; objects, such as chairs or swords; and human figures. The figures, animals, and objects are often associated with proverbs. The sankofa bird, with head turned backward, represents the proverb "One must turn to the past to move forward."
This text refers to these objects: ' 1990.221.63; 74.218.23; 74.218.24; 74.218.29; 74.218.58; 74.218.62; 74.218.68; 74.218.85; 74.218.117; 88.192.37; 88.192.47; 88.192.63; 88.192.66; 88.192.70; 88.192.76; 88.192.88; 88.192.99; 88.192.127; 88.192.129; 67.25.15; 67.25.14; 45.11.5; 81.168.1

This fall 2011, 340 first-year students participated in 21 First-Year Interest Groups. FIGs are a co-enrollment option designed especially for first-time college students that offers the opportunity to enhance the learning experience at Saint Louis University by surrounding students with peers who share their academic interests.
Saint Louis University offered a handful of learning communities in the past; but beginning in 2007, the University offered a wider range of learning communities and implemented the FIG program. FIGs tend to be a fall-only experience while learning communities are for the full academic year. The number of students participating in LCs and FIGs has continued to grow as the numbers below show.
Totals for fall 2011:
The Student Involvement Center would like to thank the instructors that have been involved in teaching the FIG courses this fall semester.

Unless a holiday abroad was specifically approved as a treatment for work-related stress then it's only right that they were fired. It's also worth pointing out that wrestling a shark cannot be less stressful than staying at home.

I find it funny that a Children's Charity fired him for.. helping children..
I wonder though, in what way do they propose that you relieve stress during your 'stress leave', if the repercussion of doing something to relieve it can cost you your Job. If he was taking sick leave, I'd understand; but stress leave should be used to de-stress which would imply a vacation or whatever means to de-stress.
Posted 14 March 2013 - 00:22
No, they were fired because they were dishonest. It's really not difficult to understand.
If I was on sick leave for stress then I'd make sure to get permission from the doctor and employer beforehand. I wouldn't simply book a holiday to Australia for two months. It's common sense.

Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine present a cock-eyed view of everyone's favorite fairytale characters in this hysterical take on the Brothers Grimm. When a Baker and his Wife learn they've been cursed with childlessness by the Witch next door, they embark on a quest for the special objects required to break the spell, swindling, deceiving and stealing from Cinderella, Little Red Ridding Hood, Rapunzel and Jack (the one who climbed the beanstalk!) With unforgettable roles, little dancing and no chorus, Into The Woods Jr. showcases a medium-sized ensemble of talented singers and actors, where each performer shoulders an equal weight. The sophisticated score has been adapted to make it easier - though still challenging - for young performers.

The Gotthard area is Europe's "moated castle". Over 40 lakes, large and small, glisten like pearls around the Ursern valley – crystal clear, ice cold and rich in fish. The major rivers of the Rhine, Rhone, Reuss and Tessin (tributary of the Po) all rise in the Gotthard massif. There is a 60 km long themed footpath in the Göscheneralp valley, dedicated to the subject of "Worlds of Water".
The Ursern valley is a hiker's paradise, while the alpine passes are a challenge for mountain bikers and touring cyclists. Fantastic views of mountains, valleys and glaciers make up for the steep climbs which may even occasionally force you to dismount.
For railway fans, Andermatt is an ideal place for taking a break or an excursion. From Göschenen station on the Gotthard line, the rack-and-pinion Schöllenenbahn climbs steeply up to Andermatt, where it meets the east-west route across the Alps of the Matterhorn-Gotthard line (with the Glacier Express), going towards either Valais or Grisons. Alternatively you can travel from Realp on the nostalgic Furka steam railway. You have to book in advance for an exclusive nostalgia ride over the Gotthard Pass on a traditional post coach, drawn by a five-horse team.
Andermatt is one of the best winter sports centres in Switzerland for guaranteed snow. A cable-car takes skiers and snowboarders in two stages up to the skiing area on the Gemsstock, at nearly 3000 m. The wide open slopes are ideal for experienced skiers, snowboarders and fans of deep snow. There are easier slopes near the Gurschenalp and in the skiing areas of Nätschen (Andermatt) and Realp. With the winter sports pass for the Gotthard-Oberalp region, you can also use the ski area of Sedrun. The "Urserntal" cross-country track (40 km) goes along the River Reuss through fantastic scenery from Andermatt via Hospental to Realp and back.
- Gemsstock – incredible panoramic views from the summit over the heart of Switzerland and about 600 Alpine peaks.
- ""World of Water" – discover path – a 60 km long themed walk in the Göscheneralp valley, with 90 stopping points with information about water as an element.
- Schöllenenschlucht – a gorge, which legend has it that a bridge could only be built across with the aid of the devil.
- Suworow memorial – huge stone cross cut into the cliff face in memory of the Russian soldiers who fell in 1799 .
- Via Ferrata Diavolo – very attractive and secure fixed rope route, direct next to the famous and historical devils bridge high above the Schöllenen Valley (only open in summer)
- Museums – the Ursern Valley Museum is housed in a beautiful building in Andermatt. While the history of the Gotthard Pass is documented in the Gotthard Museum at the top of the pass.
- Furka steam railway – nostalgic rack-and-pinion steam railway (only runs in summer) between Realp, Furka and Gletsch/Oberwald (Valais).
- Golf Course Gotthard Realp – one of the most alpine golf courses in the world
- Alpine passes Tour – experience the most beautiful passes of central Switzerland in one day:Furkapass,Gotthardpass,Oberalppass, Sustenpass, Nufenenpass, Grimselpass
- Travel environment-friendly – rent an Alpmobil or an E-Bike and explore the region noiseless and environmentally friendly (only summer)
- Ski, Snowboard and Snowshoe: for everyone something, beginners to Freerider will find their own experience
Top Events
- Summer offer – guided tour through the village, guided expeditions and walks in this amazing nature, guided tour into the dam at lake Göscheneralp, Soapstone courses and much more (June – October)

Niall Quinn backs Manchester United to claim disciplined draw at Real Madrid
Niall Quinn tips Man Utd to draw in Madrid, but they'll need pace and distance to keep Ronaldo quiet.
Last Updated: 13/09/13 2:25pm
The amount of build-up has been befitting of such an occasion and it was right to hear Jose Mourinho saying that this is the game the world is waiting for. He spoke quite candidly about how big Manchester United are and I'm sure that would be reciprocated by Sir Alex Ferguson.
This is a game to cherish, a game to behold and I'm really looking forward to watching it.
Sir Alex has got Manchester United purring with some superb league form. Their injury list seems to be clearing up nicely and they can take lots of confidence to Spain, so there's a lot to like about their chances.
But there's no doubt that the first leg will be very difficult. Real Madrid have an extremely talented team full of fantastic footballers and they will be looking at the Champions League as their chance of redemption in a season where Barcelona have outshone them domestically.
So it would be great if Manchester United can take something from home their travels and I think they would see a draw as a job well done. It's difficult to say wholeheartedly that they can go and win the game in that arena, but they are a polished side and they have enough quality to go and get a result.
I've seen every game they have played in the Champions League this year and their good results have belied their performances at times. They didn't play well in some of the early games, but it feels as if it's only getting started for them now. They had it fairly easy early on - and now it comes at them full force.
The key question is can they contain the dangerous players in the Real Madrid team? I suspect this will be a night where they will be attempting to frustrate their opponents, rather than going gung-ho themselves.
I expect Sir Alex to play five across the middle and to replicate the shape he has used in other away games in Europe this year. I anticipate Robin van Persie playing as the lone foil up front and it will be interesting to see where Wayne Rooney plays. I think he will have license to go and join Van Perise, but it will be a cautious approach overall.
They must look to contain Real Madrid for as long as possible and that means keeping one of their old boys, Cristiano Ronaldo, quiet which is far easier to say than it is to do.
Manchester United will need to make sure there is plenty of pace in the team so he can't outrun them time and time again and the full-backs must look to shove him inside where he can do less damage - but of course he's capable of cutting in and smashing the ball in the net from 25 yards! It's a really difficult one.
When he gets possession you need to keep him as far away from goal as you can and ensure he cannot reach full stride. It will soon be apparent after the game kicks off how much cover Rafael will get on that side of the pitch, but it's not as simple as marking him in a certain area because Ronaldo likes to drift across into the middle. There's no doubt that if he is on form he will make the game awfully difficult for Manchester United.
And then if you stop him then you've got to handle the likes of Karin Benzema, Gonzalo Higuain and Mesut Ozil - all 10-out-of-10 players who are renowned throughout the world!
Plus they've got a wonderful manager who brings so much to the game and this match brings together two of the best of all time. The media rivalry between Mourinho and Ferguson has been friendly up to this point, but the man who gets his tactics right on Wednesday will rather more enjoy the taste of the bottle of wine they'll share afterwards, I'm sure.
The skill levels are high on both sides, but I think Real Madrid are fractionally ahead there. However, the durability and experience of Manchester United will count for a lot and as a result this should be an intriguing game.
Will it be a good game for the neutral? Manchester United will have a big say on that because if they take me by surprise and take the game to Real Madrid then we could be in for a cracker. But my experience of watching them over the years suggests this is a time when they will try to contain Real Madrid, play on the break and not overexpose themselves. I anticipate a professional display and a defensive air to their approach.
Remember, Real Madrid have (surprisingly) had some stuttering performances this season and the pressure is on them to switch it on and hit the ground running. They need to take the game to Manchester United and we're not quite sure what we're going to get from them.
Having said that, I think we can expect a really good Mourinho team to turn up. Given what's at stake, he will demand a swashbuckling, high-tempo display and I'm sure that's what they'll do.
A game like this, between two great teams, should be full of high drama and I hope Manchester United can come out of it with the scores level. That would be a fine result for them.
I really believe that they can do that and take the tie back to Old Trafford with everything to play for.

great space saver!

I still print all of my pictures, so these slim, economical albums are fantastic! They may not be the prettiest on the market, but they are cute, durable, and very functional. I even took all of the photos from when my daughter was first born 12 years ago out of the fancy adhesive albums and transferred them to these so I could store all of my albums in one place.

I really like the size of this product. It really has freed up a lot of space as I continue to transfer all my old photo albums to these slender albums. I do wish they had a few more pages in them to hold more photos....Perhaps 175-200.

About ten years ago, I proposed doing a study for the US Department of Energy to determine the sustainability of producing ethanol from corn stover. One DOE staffer, whose opinions I respect a great deal, immediately squelched the idea of having DOE take on sustainability. It was, in his mind, a buzz saw. Only a fool would deliberately try to address such a controversial concept. In the end, he felt, we would invoke the wrath of those who saw sustainability as the rallying cry of anti-industry environmentalists, while simultaneously disappointing those environmentalists whose views on sustainable development could not be satisfactorily addressed by DOE. It would be, in short, a lose-lose proposition for the Department.
We did, in the end, prevail in keeping sustainable development as a key focus of the study. But I completely understand the reticence to engage in the political charged dialogue over sustainability. It has a long and controversial history.
While we think of sustainable development as a contemporary concept attributable to our more environmentally sensitive modern society, it is a notion that has a long--and unfortunately--negative history.
In my opinion, the origins of sustainability can be found in the writings of the 19th century writer, the Reverend Thomas Malthus--well. at least the doom and gloom side of sustainability. Malthus wrote, in his infamous (both now and then) treatise entitled An Essay on the Principle of Population, about the inevitable clash between the limits of natural resources and what the modern day Malthusian E. O. Wilson called "heedless population growth."
Malthus--wrong in many of the details, but right at least in identifying a limit to the capacity of our planet--was the first of many to run into the buzz saw of sustainability. He offered a very simple, if stark, hypothesis based on two assumptions: 1) the planet has a limit in its capacity to support a given population; 2) the population will grow exponentially without regard to that capacity. When population exceeds the planet's capacity--according to his hypothesis--Mother Nature will step in makes things right. The tools of choice for correcting the over-reaching population? death, disease, war and famine.
This grim perspective didn't win him any popularity contests. It did win him the ridicule of Charles Dickens, whose character "Scrooge" was known at the time to have been an obvious attack of Malthus. Today, the Malthusian label is used to disparage and downplay anyone raising warnings about environmental consequences of our society, as when the Wall Street Journal named Al Gore "Senator Malthus" after Gore published his book Earth in the Balance. (With Nobel Prize in hand, one has to wonder whether Gore had the last laugh.)
Malthus didn't count on technology improvements and a fossil energy fueled fertilizer industry that spurred dramatic improvements in agriculture. Nor did he count on the ability of societies to voluntarily adjust their population growth rates, particularly as they grow in economic well-being. But does that mean his notions are simply quaint and naive? I don't think so. The question of our planet's carrying capacity is at the core of our understanding of what it means to be sustainable.
It's unfortunate that the stage for the debate about sustainability has been set in such dire terms. The ghost of Malthus has loomed large over the environmental movement, starting with Paul Ehrlich's The Population Bomb, the early work on Limits to Growth at MIT in the 1970s and continuing today with Lester Brown and the large number of environmental NGOs that have proliferated in the past two decades.
Views on sustainable development now seem to fall into two camps. On one side, there are free marketeers and economists who believe that profit driven innovation will always find an answer to our resource needs. On the other are folks like David Pimentel, who have concluded that we are already well past the carrying capacity of the planet. And biofuels is caught in the middle. If you are a market optimist, you see biofuels as a waste. If you are a resource pessimist, you see biofuels as a fool's gold for energy that will only aggravate the burdens on our planet. Neither view has it right.
