This jeep has been the worst automobile in
my life. Everything has been replaced at
least twice. Don't pay attention to any
warranty because it will break again when it
gets out.

1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4dr SUV 4WD
Vehicle purchased as a lease return
with 36K miles. Overall it has been a
good car for comfort w/o big money
spent for repairs. AWD is nice in wet &
rainy Puget Sound weather. The V8 gas
mileage is just over 12 MPG after
almost 5 years of ownership. Recently
hadthe car at a Seattle dealer and were
advised that the rear-wheel bearings
and CV boots needed replacing. Other
reviewers have also noted the interior
failures of the linings of the doors
but stuff like that IS fixable!
Overall we are generally satisfied and
feel we have chosen widely, having
bought it used and not shelling out the
original invoice of around $33K.

The car has cost us a ton of money in
repairs. Jeep replaced half of the
engine in the first 1000 miles. We
have had to repair a head gasket, a
rear end twice, an automatic
transmission twice, etc. It just is
not a well made car.

1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4dr SUV 4WD
I bought this car because of it's
large size and high ride. I was not
disapointed! Over the past 3 years
I've had a lot of fun with this car,
and it's saved me tons of money in
UHAUL trailers because of it's large
cargo capacity. Occasionally I would
use the 4 wheel drive for snow and
ice, and it worked well for that. The
only real problem I've had with it was
the fuel pump. I had it changed out
twice. The A/C would also give me
problems from time to time. I think
it has a small leak. Otherwise, it's
been well worth the money.

I've had this car for nearly 5 years
now and have really been quite happy
with it. I did need to replace the AC
compressor twice... a common problem,
I've read. Other than that, if you
are perhaps a bit more aggressive in
changing differential, transmission,
and transaxle fluids then the
manufacturer recommends, these are
great cars on and off the road.
Other minor problems:
Mirror memory
Seatbelt sensor
ABS sensors (adjustment needed only)

I bought my Jeep with 47K miles and
until recently it's been great. I now
have 100K miles and several problems.
The tranny is poorly design because I
now have slippage. The interior door
panel are garbage due to the poor
choice of material(it shrinks in heat).
I have to replace the distributor next,
after just replacing the ball joints.
If the ratings for the newer models are
as bad, Jeep will soon be out of

Where should I start mmm...bought with
42,000 in '99, interior hardware
failing,side mirrors memory set
failing, stereo buttons sticky hard to
change mode, heating seats don't work
anymore, back wiper sticky, replaced
CV boots(@93k),power steering brackets
before 90k, there's acouple of other
things that have failed right before
it hit 100K but overall still runs
great. We've been across the border
twice and other long trips in the
state, not sure what other SUV we
could have bought at time (NOT FORD).
Would like to sell but only for gas
mileage reasons, I drive alot in town.

1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4dr SUV 4WD
My first American car (and I've had
probably 8 or 9 foreign cars). I was
always leery of buying an American car
and that worry was definitly justified.
I bought this p.o.* new and had
problems with it within the first
15,000 miles. I should have sold it
then but I thought that the problems
would be over. Not so, they just
increase exponentially with age. I'm
glad I have AAA as I have to call them
for a tow at least once a year. I can't
even delineate the number of mechanical
engine repairs I've paid for. Thank
goodness, I'm planning on trading it in
tomorrow; any dealer is a fool to give
me 2 cents for it but I have my fingers

Very good play with relevance to Pope Francis today. Poirot's character's feelings of guilt seemed similar to Salieri's in Amadeus. Fairly predictable. Sheds light on a mostly ignored and little-known period in the papacy.

Lewis Hamilton says Mercedes set-up changes could unlock even stronger pace
Hamilton also thinks Merc closer to wins than 12 months ago
By James Galloway. Last Updated: 22/03/13 1:44am
Lewis Hamilton: Continues to be very upbeat about Mercedes' progress
Sky Bet
Formula 1 Betting
Formula 1 Betting
Bet with Sky Bet
Lewis Hamilton is optimistic he could be poised to enjoy an even better Malaysia GP weekend if planned changes to his Mercedes pay dividends.
The new driver and team combination got their partnership off to a stronger start than many had expected at Albert Park last weekend when Hamilton was only outpaced by the two dominant Red Bulls in qualifying and then finished fifth in race conditions - already Mercedes' best result for seven grands prix.
And speaking to Sky Sports News ahead of his second race for his new team in Malaysia, Hamilton explained that he felt a better set-up on his W04 was key to an even more competitive weekend - and that, significantly, tweaks were afoot to meet that end.
"I just need a better set-up I think. We're got a couple of new bits we added to the car, not particularly adding performance, but just fixing a couple of issues we might have had and just get the set-up better," he told Craig Slater.
"I didn't get a set-up where I was able to extract the most from the car - and also the conditions didn't really help, so hopefully this weekend will be better."
Unusually, despite six previous attempts, Hamilton has still to win the Malaysian GP, with the sweeping Sepang circuit one of just six venues on the 19-stop 2013 calendar the Briton has yet to stand on the top step of the podium at.

But the 28-year-old, whose best finish of second here came in his rookie year of 2007, is confident he will be able to break his Sepang duck at some point while at Mercedes.
"At some stage we're going to win here, yeah. I haven't won here before," Hamilton said.
"I've been very fortunate to have won at lots of other circuits, but this is definitely one of those I've not been able to dominate at. But who knows whether this could be the weekend?"
While a race victory in normal dry conditions for Mercedes might not quite yet be in their grasp, a clearly upbeat Hamilton suggested the Brackley team were nonetheless closer to such a feat than even they were 12 months ago - when they actually won the subsequent round in China in dominant style with Nico Rosberg.
"I think last year it might have looked like a win was just around the corner but I think they were a long, long way away," he suggested. "But we're a lot closer this year."

From SKA: "Kenya, 8 African states plan US $1.9 billion telescope "
November 05, 2014
No Writer Credit
Nine African countries including Kenya have agreed to strengthen their cooperation in radio astronomy research.
Kenya's Longonot Earth station: The scientists also discussed how Kenya can participate in the construction and use of the station to co-host the largest radio telescope in the world.
Delegates attending a two day Square Kilometer Array (SKA) Senior Officials meeting (SOM) in Nairobi recently arrived at a consensus to formalize their engagement through a Memorandum of Understanding.
The partner countries represented in the meeting include: South Africa, Mozambique, Namibia, Mauritius, Ghana, Madagascar, Zambia, Botswana and host Kenya.
The meeting attended by policy makers and space scientists discussed how Kenya can participate in the construction and use of the Longonot earth station to co-host the largest radio telescope in the world. The SKA project is to be implemented in three phases and is expected to commence in 2016 and be completed by 2024. The cost of the construction of the telescope is estimated to be about 1.5billion Euros (Kshs 170 billion or US $ 1.9 billion).
The draft MOU is expected to be finalized and ratified by the member countries during forthcoming SKA meetings. The meeting also discussed the SKA Africa Readiness Strategy and joint implementation plan and cost estimates for partner states in hosting the African Very Long Baseline Interferometry Network (AVN) and SKA dishes.
The meetings objective was to consolidate Africa's support and strategize on how best to make maximum use of this opportunity to lead in global science and position Kenya as a regional center for Basic Space Science.
During the official opening of the meeting, Education, Science and Technology Principal Secretary Prof. Jacob Kaimenyi noted that this partnership has effectively enhanced awareness around the requirements for hosting radio astronomy instrumentation and the associated benefits that could be derived in making such commitments. He noted that the SKA is expected to bring notable benefits and large capital investments including new job opportunities, increased business opportunity for local industries during and after the construction.
Prof. Kaimenyi also said that, the Government has created and is implementing an Science Technology and Innovation (ST&I) policy framework to support the country's Vision 2030 by devoting resources to scientific research, technical capabilities of the workforce, and in raising the quality of teaching science and technology in learning institutions. He informed the meeting that the Science Technology and Innovation Act of 2013 provides for allocation of at least 2 percent of the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for research and development (R&D). He added that the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology is in the process of establishing a National Research Fund to realize the 2 percent provision.

About SKA
The Square Kilometre Array will be the world's largest and most sensitive radio telescope. The total collecting area will be approximately one square kilometre giving 50 times the sensitivity, and 10 000 times the survey speed, of the best current-day telescopes. The SKA will be built in Southern Africa and in Australia. Thousands of receptors will extend to distances of 3 000 km from the central regions. The SKA will address fundamental unanswered questions about our Universe including how the first stars and galaxies formed after the Big Bang, how dark energy is accelerating the expansion of the Universe, the role of magnetism in the cosmos, the nature of gravity, and the search for life beyond Earth. Construction of phase one of the SKA is scheduled to start in 2016. The SKA Organisation, with its headquarters at Jodrell Bank Observatory, near Manchester, UK, was established in December 2011 as a not-for-profit company in order to formalise relationships between the international partners and centralise the leadership of the project.

Looks like Sounders will buy out DP Christian Tiffert
The Sounders play Mexico's Veracruz in a preseason exhibition Friday, but there were more indications Seattle could soon part ways with midfielder Christian Tiffert.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Latest from the Sounders FC blog
Seattle's Chad Marshall named MLS defender of the year NEW - 11/25, 08:47 AM
With the MLS season a week away, it looks increasingly likely that Sounders FC will soon part ways with designated player Christian Tiffert.
Seattle can buy out the midfielder's contract before a March 2 deadline that coincides with the first day of league games.
Tiffert, who made $625,000 last year, hasn't been with the team the past two weeks in Tucson and coach Sigi Schmid, in an interview with ExtraTime Radio, vaguely described it as "a situation that's in a process right now."
"It's something I know that (general manager) Adrian Hanauer is dealing with and something that hopefully will get resolved in a short period of time," Schmid added.
Hanauer gave similar indications in a conference call earlier this week when he reiterated a commitment to signing a big-time DP forward (the hottest rumor involves Obafemi Martins of Spain's Levante UD).
Important preseason preparation continues in the face of more change, and the Sounders will play Veracruz of the Mexican second division in a 6 p.m. exhibition Friday in Tucson.
Seattle will use the game essentially as a dress rehearsal for a CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal series on March 6 and 12 against Tigres UANL, the top team in the Mexican first division.
"There's obviously a difference in quality between Tigres and Veracruz — there's a difference in quality between Tigres and some other teams in the Mexican first division — but what's most important for us is to play a team that plays in the style of a Mexican team," Schmid said.
The Sounders brought Mexico's Jaguares de Chiapas to Seattle for an exhibition last year for CCL prep, but scheduling conflicts didn't allow for a first-division opponent this time.
"We wanted to take the best alternative available to us," Schmid said.
Solo to miss 6-8 weeks after wrist surgery
Reign FC goalkeeper Hope Solo won't participate in the Algarve Cup with the U.S. women's national team in March due to a right wrist injury that will require surgery next week.
The Richland native had been playing through ligament damage, according to U.S. Soccer, and team doctors advised her to address the issue immediately with Women's World Cup qualifiers not until the end of 2014.
Solo, a University of Washington product, is expected to be out six to eight weeks.
USWNT coach Tom Sermanni named a 23-player squad Thursday for the Algarve Cup, a tournament in Portugal from March 6-13, and Reign FC midfielder Megan Rapinoe was included. Former Sounders Women's stars Alex Morgan and Sydney Leroux are also on the U.S. team that will face Iceland, China and Sweden in group play.
• Sounders FC will be featured in four of the last six MLS regular-season games broadcast on the ESPN networks this year. Seattle gets three of the last four games to be shown on ESPN proper.
• The Sounders Women have hired Hubert Busby Jr. as head coach and GM. The former Jamaican international recently worked for the Vancouver Whitecaps Women; he replaces Michelle French, who this week was named coach of the U.S. U-20 women's national team.

"Have a good one!" the clerk said to me as I walked toward the door after
my purchase. I thought to myself, "Have a good what?" Of course I knew
what she was talking about: she wanted me to have a good day. So, how do you
go about "having a good one" with all the trials and tribulations of

I really do want to "have a good one."
Look good. "Having a good one" starts early in the day. I don't care if
the latest fad on TV and the movies is a man with a 3-day beard dressed like
a vagrant. Scruffy look, unwashed face, unkempt hair, unbrushed teeth and
sloppy dress means you are having a bad day even before you leave your house.
Good grooming is an essential part of communicating confidence to yourself
and to others.
To look good starts with you face, but it ends with the way you dress. Wear

Five Kinds of News Stories for Citizen Journalists
"I want to be a reporter, but I don't know what to write about!" was
the comment from a young lady in an audience I spoke to recently. Her dilemma
prompted me to start work on my next book tentatively titled, "1001 News
Story Ideas for Citizen Journalists."
Though the project has only begun, I do have a preliminary outline for the
book. I got the outline from a 1978 magazine article by Paul Swensson
reprinted in an old book* I picked up at a used bookstore recently. Swensson
was a former newspaperman, journalism professor and new... (more)
Citizen Journalism on Ulitzer
If you're seeking wealth and fame, journalism might not be your best

reporters don't live in the rich part of town. The only people receiving
truly handsome wages in the news media today are celebrity journalists seen
on network and cable television news stations.
Fame is also elusive for most journalists. Only a few becom... (more)

'Hanna' Unleashes a Bold PosterMovie News By Scott Beggs on January 25, 2011 | (3) Comments
Damn. It's been a tough world for movie marketers lately. Stars aren't selling as strongly, companies are forced to crib from other designs if a movie is ultra popular, and there just aren't that many pre-pubescent assassins out there to brag about.
Hanna, the story of a young girl (Saoirse Ronan) trained to kill by her CIA father (Eric Bana), looks incredible. Now it's got an incredible poster.
Check it out for yourself:
Clicking on it makes it much, much bigger.
It's a gorgeous poster. Blue eyes that threaten to cut through you before the arrow does. A true ultimatum as the tagline. Big, brash lettering.
It's stunning. A great piece of art and a great piece of marketing.

Is that DVD you've got your eye on really worth the investment? Should you wait a few months until the "Special Edition" hits shelves? DVD Extra lights the way.

"Phineas and Ferb" movie continues cartoon's strong entertainment value
Previously in this column, I have waxed enthusiastically about the Disney Channel cartoon, "Phineas and Ferb." After I've grown tired of all of the other kids offerings on Nickelodeon and Nick Junior (especially "SpongeBob SquarePants"), I'll change the offering to "Phineas and Ferb" so that my daughters can continue to enjoy cartoons and I'm not […] [Read More]
"Top Gun" still iconic after 25 years
There are literally thousands of films that most people will never see, unless they happen to be flipping channels late-night and come across them. There are a smaller number of films that people watch once or twice in their lifetimes, perhaps at the theater and then on video. And then there are films like "Top […] [Read More]

PERRY COUNTY – Speaking at Democrat headquarters in Tell City, Chris Coyle said he had no regrets about his race for Indiana's District 74 seat in the Indiana House of Representatives.
Coyle lost to Republican incumbent Lloyd Arnold Jr. District-wide results were not available but in Perry County, Coyle lost to Arnold by 450 votes.
PERRY COUNTY – The most watched local race Tuesday, for county prosecutor, was never close and resulted in a lopsided win for Democrat challenger Jason Hoch.
The Tell City attorney received 73 percent of the vote and defeated incumbent Republican S. Rod Acchiardo.
PERRY COUNTY – Each of Perry County's three school boards will see a new face in January. Voters divided their support Tuesday for incumbent members and newcomers seeking their first terms on boards for Cannelton City Schools, Tell City-Troy Township School Corp. and the Perry Central Community School.
Cannelton School Board
By KEVIN KOELLING
Managing Editor
TELL CITY – Larry James said after final results were in for Tuesday's election he felt "real good" about his victory over incumbent District 2 County Commissioner Tom Hauser, a Republican.
PERRY COUNTY – Perry County voters swung their support to incumbents and newcomers alike Tuesday in an election that will bring new faces to the county courthouse and local school boards.
Perry County Prosecutor Rod Acchiardo was pummeled for a second term by Democrat Jason Hoch. In the most watched local race, Hoch won 4,256 votes, or 73 percent of the total, to Acchiardo's 1,540 votes.
The Perry County Community Foundation's annual Trivia Night will be conducted Jan. 24 at the Schergens Center.
As in the past, the winning team will get to name a 501c3 charity to receive a $500 grant.
More details, including how to register your team, will be provided later.
Contact the foundation at (812) 547-3176 or send email to its director, Renate Warner, at email@example.com with any questions or if you'd like to be contacted when registration information is available.
TELL CITY – A hearing concerning Tell City's attempt to annex 1,776 acres of land along its boundary has been scheduled for Nov. 20 in Jasper.
"The more the merrier," Joe Meyer told people who expressed interest in attending. He and Randy Cole, who have been spearheading efforts to block the annexation, conducted a meeting Oct. 9 to bring others up to date on their efforts. Details of that meeting will be reported in an upcoming edition.
LEOPOLD – "Our run wasn't as good as the run at district, but that happens sometimes," Perry Central Band Director Andrea Clark said about her students' performance at regional competition Oct. 18 at Evansville Central High School.
TELL CITY – Jaylen Avallone, 21, of Tell City has a taking-it-to-the-next-level request.
She was recently named Miss Hoosier State Coed Queen for the Miss America Coed Pageant System in a Lexington, Ky., pageant, she said.
She underwent interview, on-stage introduction and evening-wear competitions and also earned first place in an optional speech category by talking about cyber-bullying. She said she participates in the pageants because they help boost her self-confidence, will help her in future job interviews "and they're fun."
EVANSVILLE – The next free talk to a lawyer telephone clinic is set for Thursday, Nov. 6.
The monthly telephone clinic will have volunteer attorneys available to accept general questions regarding Indiana law from 4:30 to 7 p.m. CST. With the holidays right around the corner, it's never too early to get a head start regarding legal questions that might arise, either in a game of trivia or in life situations.

Not Reading
From GEIST:
Reading a book is an act of concentration that abolishes the world. As the type on the page dissolves before the reader's private re-creation of the people, images or ideas that the ink evokes, reality is enhanced by insights, emotions or perceptions that were not there before. This compensatory quality is the product of concentration; it arises because reading is linear, reeling us along sentence by sentence toward a series of revelations. Reading a book remakes the temporality of the physical world. The shapelessness of experience yields to a chronology whose internal symmetry feels superior to the disorder of life. Book-based transcendence fuelled the three ancient Middle Eastern monotheisms that became the core religions of the early modern period in the West and on its fringes, and which were exported to other continents; all were "religions of the book."
The book's sacred status survived the secularization of society. The words of the imaginative writer, particularly the novelist, invested specific social configurations with mythic resonance: Thomas Hardy's Wessex, Dostoevsky's St. Petersburg, Faulkner's Yoknapatawpha County, García Márquez's Macondo, Naguib Mahfouz's Cairo.
. . . .
More than a decade ago, when I moved to the university town where I teach, it was common to see students reading books on municipal buses. Now, with the exception of the occasional nerd stuck into a fantasy novel, or a diligent student poring over a diagram-filled textbook on her lap, this sight has disappeared. The students travel in stooped postures, jabbing their cellphones with their thumbs. Most of this jabbing is texting, or playing solitaire; but even when the students are browsing online course readings, what they are doing is not reading, because they are not performing an act of concentration, but rather one of perpetual distraction. As Marshall McLuhan perceived, the medium is the message. Reading is an act confined to books and magazines, and, in somewhat more scattered form, newspapers; what we do when we absorb words from a screen—and we haven't yet evolved a verb for it—is not reading.
. . . .
The term ebook, more than a misnomer, is an oxymoron: we may read a text on a screen, in between anxious jumps to other windows, but we do not read a book because we do not achieve the level of concentration necessary to experience the spiritual or artistic affects that books provide. Some software even invites the user to read the book and watch the movie at the same time. A tweet is a perfect match with the medium of the screen; approaching a book in this way is like trying to view the rings of Saturn with cheap binoculars.

RUB researchers make bio-based solar cell breakthrough
Researchers at Ruhr-Universitat Bochum have created a bio-based solar cell capable of generating a continuous electrical current of several nanowatts per sq cm. The new approach avoids damage to the tapped photosynthetic cells, an issue that has plagued previous attempts to harness nature's "power plant." Read More
Home aquaponics kits, which combine fish and plants in a symbiotic relationship, are becoming more and more popular. One of them, the Fishy Farm, is a fairly large setup. The Home Aquaponics Kit, on the other hand, is pretty small, while the ECO-Cycle is designed to sit on top of an existing aquarium. The latest arrival on the scene, the Aqualibrium Garden, manages to carve out yet another niche for itself. Read More
LivePicture puts green walls in the frame
Huge green walls like the installation at Edmonton Airport are certainly more visually arresting than a succession of dreary old framed prints, and are claimed to improve air quality, too. LivePicture from New York-based Suite Plants takes this living wall idea and downsizes it to fit in a frame that hangs on a wall like a painting. Read More
Whether you're growing wine grapes or mixing cement, there are some situations in which it's vitally important to monitor moisture content. Normally water sensors are used, although these can be both large and expensive. Now, however, a team from Cornell University has created a water-sensing silicon chip that's not only tiny, but is also reportedly "a hundred times more sensitive than current devices." What's more, the chips might be possible to mass-produce for just $5 a pop. Read More
TomTato plant grows both tomatoes and potatoes
We've seen a number of innovations that allow for gardening in small spaces, including a ferris wheel-like contraption, a mat that shows you where to plant specially-prepared seeds, and a system that lets you grow vertically-stacked veggies in your window. The TomTato, however, is in a league of its own – it's a single plant that produces both tomatoes and potatoes at the same time. Read More
Oil spill-absorbing material inspired by cactus needles
When an oil spill occurs at sea, there are already a number of possible options for gathering the oil that floats in a layer on the water's surface. Some of the oil also forms into tiny suspended droplets, however, which have proven much more difficult to gather. Now, Chinese scientists have developed what could be a solution – and it owes a debt to the humble cactus needle. Read More
Removing weeds can be annoying, especially in an area with a lot of plants. Ring Weeder slips over the user's index finger and allows for precision weed pulling all the way down to the root. Read More
We've already seen gadgets such as Koubachi and Flower Power, that communicate with users' smartphones to let them know when their houseplants need watering. Scale that idea up to an agricultural level, and you get a prototype device known as the Farm Level Optimal Water management Assistant for Irrigation under Deficit – or FLOW-AID. It's designed to let farmers in drought-stricken regions know when and how much water to apply to their crops, so they don't run their irrigation systems unnecessarily. Read More
If you have a green thumb, then you probably don't think it's all that difficult to plant and tend a vegetable garden. That said, there are many people who would like to grow their own veggies, but are intimidated by things like watering, weeding, choosing the correct plants, along with getting the spacing and planting-depth of the seeds right. It's for these aspiring gardeners that San Francisco-based company Earth Starter has created the Nourishmat. Read More
Don't want to ask your creepy neighbor to check on your plants while you're on vacation? Take care of them from the cloud, instead. One of the latest products in the burgeoning Internet of Things, the Bitponics system is a "personal gardening assistant" designed to make hydroponics gardening easier. The system connects the garden to the cloud, letting gardeners keep an eye on their plants and exercise their green thumb even when they're away. Read More

"This coffee is HUGE - both the bean itself and the taste. Just after brewing look for sweet notes of chocolate and cherry but as it cools the coffee completely transforms to be much more savoury - think tomato, basil and bacon."
- Sam Plett,
"Very clean cup. The flavor notes are very present and very clear. Black tea, a juicy acidity –it almost makes you salivate a bit – and then really really peach."
- Kevin Floether
"La Esperanza is a very sweet coffee with flavours of caramel, orange and red grape. It's more like a medium body. A few complex fruit flavours and it finishes so clean. "
- Joe Angellotti
Each issue, we feature three great roasts from three artisan roasters. The independently roasted beans can make more than a month's worth of coffee!
All our roasters have a unique story to tell.
Through videos, photographs and interviews of the roasters, we present a unique and intimate perspective on their craft.
Free shipping on coffee that has been specifically roasted for your order. Sealed and packaged at the source in our valve bags for the optimal level of freshness.
Coffee Kids helps coffee farming communities and their families to thrive. We want to help contribute and that's why every Roasters Pack has a portion of the profits donated to Coffee Kids.
Our Black Friday deals have 3 goals. 3 simple, delicious goals.
So read along and see what's going on!
We recently mailed out the November Issue of the Roasters Pack, which featured coffee from Kittel Coffee Co., Other Brother Roasters & Pig Iron Coffee Roasters. Each one of the coffees had a diverse flavor set and unique taste characteristics.
So unique that it got us thinking... if these roasts were songs, which songs would they be? Yes, we're about to compare coffee to music. It surprisingly took us a fair amount of time to decide since we're music junkies and we had to find the absolute, utmost, correct tune. It was a very scientific process (probably about as complicated as the Rosetta comet landing) and we have the results below!

The high heritability of exam grades reflects many genetically influenced traits such as personality, behavior problems, and self-efficacy and not just intelligence. The study looked at 13,306 twins at age 16 . The twins were assessed on a range of cognitive and non-cognitive measures, and the researchers had access to their GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education) scores.

Rubber: there's nothing like the real thing. Manufacturers use synthetic rubber in toys and rubber bands and even passenger car tires, but higher performance products such as truck and aircraft tires demand the natural stuff. The problem is, almost all the natural rubber in the world comes from a single species of tree, Hevea brasiliensis, crops of which cannot be scaled up easily to meet future demand. So the tire industry, seeking a new source of natural rubber, has turned to a species that was last used in World War II: a flowering shrub known as Parthenium argentatum, or guayule.
New research by scientists at the University of Bristol has challenged one of the key axioms in biology - that enzymes need water to function. The breakthrough could eventually lead to the development of new industrial catalysts for processing biodiesel.
Being able to breathe underwater has long been a fascination for mankind, but the bulky oxygen tanks and face masks take some of the romance out of it.
About one fifth of the Earth's atmosphere is oxygen, pumped out by green plants as a result of photosynthesis and used by most living things on the planet to keep our metabolisms running. Scientists have now shown that oxygen can be formed directly from carbon dioxide in the upper atmosphere, changing models of how the atmosphere evolved early in Earth's history.
