The Wall Street Journal recently announced that Google will be undergoing a big change. The search giant plans to do a large re-fresh of its algorithm to include "semantic search" technology. The support system will be Google's Knowledge Graph and the change is expected to take effect in the next couple of months.
The overall goal of the refresh will be to provide users with direct answers to a search query by understanding the actual meaning of the words, which is generated through an understanding of the association between words used. Amit Singhal, a top Google search executive, said the update will allow Google search to more closely replicate "how humans understand the world."
This is nothing entirely new, as Google has performed similar updates in the past. Google's primary goal seems to be to maintain their lead ahead of Bing and catch up to Apple's Siri voice-activated mobile search. Singhal said, "Let me just say that every day, we're improving our ability to give you the best answers to your questions as quickly as possible, so stay tuned for updates on what will continue to be a long road ahead."
Semantic Search Details
A semantic search engine is designed to give results based on context as opposed to just keywords. For example, a search for the word "election" in a semantic search engine would return results containing "vote", "campaign", and "ballot" even if "election" is not present.
The 2009 search engine, WolframAlpha, was anticipated to challenge Google but has only gained traction in research and academic communities. Its ability to provide answers to queries is what set it apart; the goal of WolframAplpha isn't to index the web and return results. It is designed to make computations based on a database of historical knowledge. When a user queries a location, the engine retrieves details of population, maps, time, weather, and more. The Google update is expected to do the same according to Amir Efrati, "results will be provided above other search listings and act like an answer in an encyclopedic fashion."
Google will be attempting to provide an answer to a user's query based on the intent of the keywords they entered into the search box, rather than providing lists of sites containing the same keywords as the query. They are going to achieve this by utilizing all the data they have been gathering in the Google Knowledge Graph. This graph of information started in 2010 when Google purchased Freebase, a community-built knowledge base with approximately 12 million entries, which Google has grown into 200 million entries to date.
Staying SEO Compliant
Up to now, SEO strategy has been centered on keywords and key phrases; with the update, optimizing for the intent of keywords and phrases will also be vital. Because Google will provide answers instead of results, companies will be competing against each other for visibility in addition to the Google answer being provided above all results.
So how can you stay competitive? As always, following SEO best practices and staying away from any black hat techniques, like keyword stuffing, is the first step. Google implements algorithm updates to combat those techniques and ensure they are providing relevant results for every query.
Another tactic is optimizing sites with semantic markup code. According to an article from Blue Anvil, this is the act of descriptively coding sites to represent the information contained in elements. It puts emphasis on areas of importance to help crawlers understand the meaning of the content by understanding relevance and importance.
Due to its potential influence on search structure, it's important to keep an eye on the semantic search update as it takes effect. Once there are more official announcements from Google, more specific areas of optimization can be identified. Until then it is important to be aware of potential changes and stay updated on solutions and additional implications, including the potential impact on Google paid search. Stay tuned to 90blog for additional updates as semantic search rolls out.

Pop's Best "Yeah" Moments
by Raymond Cummings | July 27, 2013
Inflection is key to the success of communication, and in general there's a huge inference chasm between "yes" and "yeah." "Yes" can be nasty, cloying and all kinds of chameleonic, and "yeah" can likewise be difficult to use -- unless whomever you're conversing with knows you really well -- without inviting or demanding offense. Since popular music traffics in an uneven admixture of adhesive vocal gristle and honeydew melody, it's fitting that artists lean so heavily on "yeah" as a way to communicate import and intensity.
Every "yeah" in The Rolling Stones' "Satisfaction" feels hip but also ancillary; "Oh Yeah," Yello's me-generation classic, is awash in "yeahs" that are as transparently sexual as all the other vocal chaff that's been repurposed as percussion. Fast-forward a couple decades, and you'll find Lil Wayne wallpapering the louche, paper-flush "Got Money" with "yeahs" like they were Benjamins and Lenny Kravitz employing them as afterburners to power the metaphor at the center of "Fly Away." For Oaktown 3.5.7, "yeah" is provocation and celebration alike, a declaration of power to match the vintage boom-bap on offer. Everclear ("Wonderful") and The Ramones ("I Wanna Be Well") utilize "yeah" with a sarcasm that's achingly, bitingly melancholic. Meanwhile, on Nirvana's "Lithium," Kurt Cobain stuffed the choruses full of "yeahs" that serve the same function screaming on roller coasters does: They're the alternative to violent shifts or sicknesses, or a passive-aggressive form of acting out.

Whose nuts?
I had a real problem with chafing and saddle sores for about 6 months while using Chamois Butt'r. About 18 months ago, I switched to DZ Nuts and haven't had another issue with the undercarriage. On the odd occasion that I get caught in the rain, or covered in filth while on the CX bike, and am lucky enough to get a chafe spot, a little of DZ's product takes care of it within a day or so.
As others have said, it's a bit tingly upon first application, but after continued use, the tingle gets less and less. It will open your eyes wide on a chilly morning though!
I've thought about trying other stuff, but can't bring myself to do it.
And it's not terribly high dollar, especially when you consider it's keeping your chassis in proper working order...

OKLAHOMA CITY — The Poteau Lady Pirates golf team is one shot off the lead after the first round of the Class 4A State Tournament, which took place Wednesday at Lake Hefner South Golf Course.
The Lady Pirates, last year's state champions, had a first-round team score of 360, one shot behind Hilldale (359).
The defending individual state champion, Poteau's Hannah Ward, is tied for the lead after shooting a 74.
Cathleen Manlove shot an 88, followed by Skylynn Terry at 91, Dallas Terry at 107 and Alyssa Vineyard at 112.
The second and final round will be today.
If the Poteau Pirates baseball team wants to make the Class 4A State Tournament next week, it will take a three-game winning streak over the next two days.
On Day 1 of the Class 4A Regional Tournament at Town Creek Park on Wednesday, the Pirates split a pair, beating Broken Bow 15-5 Wednesday morning, but losing 5-0 to Byng that afternoon.
The Pirates (27-8) will need to win twice Thursday, and then prevail on Friday to win the regional and make state. One more loss will end their season.
FORT SMITH, Ark. — Carl Albert State College Lady Vikings basketball coach Jeff Tadtman announced the signing of two Fort Smith Northside Lady Bears for the 2013-14 season — Bria Caldwell and Kilah Cummings, who were both key players in the Lady Bears claiming the Class 7A state championship.
When the Poteau Pirates baseball team had Senior Night on April 16 for its three seniors, outfielder Blake Johnson, infielder/pitcher Jay Werner and utility player Ryan Johnston, they knew that they would be home for last week's Class 4A District Tournament against Roland.
Although it was almost assured the Pirates would be home for this week's Class 4A Regional Tournament at Town Creek Park, it became official on Monday from the Oklahoma Secondary Schools Activities Association. That made the Pirates happy campers.
We're now down to four high school baseball teams left on the diamond — Poteau (Class 4A), Spiro (Class 3A), Talihina (Class 2A) and Wister (Class 2A), all of which are in regional tournaments this week for the right to qualify for the Elite 8 that is otherwise known as the state tournament.
Poteau and Spiro were named regional hosts, with the Class 4A Regional Tournament for Poteau beginning today at Town Creek Park. The Class 3A Regional will begin Thursday in Spiro.
As for Class 2A regional tournaments, Talihina will be in Crowder and Wister will be in Ketchum near Grand Lake.
SEMINOLE — The Poteau Pirates golf team is heading back to state. The Pirates were third at Monday's Class 4A Regional Tournament at Jimmie Austin Golf Course.
The Pirates had a first-round score of 323, then shaved eight strokes off over the second 18 holes to finish the 36-hole event with a 638.
Ada, the favorite to win state next week, had a 297-296—593 to win the regional title.

White House: SCOTUS Shortlist Drafted
• "The Obama administration, likely to learn in the next several weeks whether Justice John Paul Stevens will retire, is focusing on three candidates to succeed him, a White House official familiar with the deliberations said," Bloomberg News reports. "The group includes U.S. Solicitor General Elena Kagan and federal appellate judges Diane Wood and Merrick Garland, the person said, speaking on the condition of anonymity."
• "Colorado is not the only state where the initial results of the Obama administration's signature school improvement initiative, known as Race to the Top, have left a sour taste," the New York Times reports. "Many states are questioning the criteria by which winners were chosen."
National Security: Bombs Hit Near U.S. Consulate
• "Bombers targeted the U.S. consulate in the Pakistani city of Peshawar with at least four explosions and killed as many as 30 people at a political rally elsewhere in the country's northwest," Bloomberg News reports.
• "Afghan President Hamid Karzai pledged Sunday that a NATO drive into Taliban territory in Kandahar province would only begin after thorough consultations with local tribal leaders, in a bid to beef up support in the volatile south," AP reports.
• "The Iraqi capital echoed with explosions on Sunday as insurgents sought to exploit political uncertainties created by painstakingly slow talks on forming a new government, with three suicide car bombings at diplomatic targets killing dozens of people and other scattered attacks disrupting areas across Baghdad," the New York Times reports. "It was the third day in a row of violent attacks for which officials blamed the insurgent group Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia."
World: Quake Hits California, Mexico
• "A powerful earthquake swayed buildings from Los Angeles to Tijuana, killing two people in Mexico, blacking out cities and forcing the evacuation of hospitals and nursing homes," AP reports. "One California city closed off its downtown due to unstable buildings."
Economy: WH, Greenspan See 'Momentum'
• "The White House dispatched two of its senior economic advisers to the Sunday shows to cautiously tout Friday's jobs report showing the U.S. added a significant number of new jobs in March for the first time in two years, but both underscored that there is still work to be done to bring the jobless rate down," Politico reports.
• "Alan Greenspan, the former chairman of the Federal Reserve and a self-described Republican libertarian, on Sunday reinforced increasingly confident assessments by the Obama administration that the nation's latest job numbers reveal a resurgent economy," the New York Times reports.
• "China's trade disputes with the U.S. have been 'amplified' and in some cases are no worse than those with other countries, U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk said ahead of a visit to Washington this month by President Hu Jintao," Bloomberg News reports.
Congress: Budget Debate Approaches
• "Fresh off their successful use of filibuster-busting reconciliation rules to pass their health-care-cum-student-loan-overhaul, Democrats preparing to write a new budget blueprint have to decide whether to give the controversial practice another go later this year," Roll Call (subscription) reports.

Health Care: Bill's Effects Unknown, Far-Reaching
• "Potential effects of the" health care law "passed last month, can be described as profound and prosaic, obvious and unknowable," the Los Angeles Times reports. "Some of its most complex and far-reaching changes won't take effect for years, including the requirement that, by 2014, all Americans have health insurance. But the law also contains immediate changes, such as the one allowing parents to add or keep dependent children up to age 26 on their health insurance policies."
• The Washington Post reports on how the re-election bid of Rep. Betsy Markey, D-Colo., is being affected by the health care vote.
Energy & Environment: DOE Gas Data Flawed
• "The Energy Department is preparing to make sweeping revisions to its U.S. natural-gas production data after finding it has been overstating output, raising new questions about the government's collection of energy information," the Wall Street Journal (subscription) reports.
• "With" California "mired in a crippling recession, the [climate change] law that once looked like a landmark achievement is coming under assault. The regulatory effort Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger set in motion is facing a political backlash and could come to an abrupt halt in the months ahead," AP reports. "A coalition of businesses, financed largely by three Texas oil companies, is funding a ballot petition that would delay the law until California's current unemployment rate is cut by more than half."
• "Salvage experts and a tugboat crew struggled" today" to save a large Chinese freighter that slammed into the Great Barrier Reef off Australia over the weekend, trying to prevent the vessel from breaking apart as some of the 1,075 tons of engine fuel in its tanks began oozing from the hull, threatening the world's largest collection of coral," the New York Times reports.
Transportation: Report Shows Air Traffic Flaws
• "A new error-reporting program in the nation's air-traffic system is revealing thousands of previously unknown hazards such as dangerous runway crossings and unreported midair problems," USA Today reports. "In the year and a half since the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) kicked off the program -- which guarantees employees immunity in exchange for honest accounts of all but the most serious lapses -- the agency has been deluged by more than 14,000 reports, according to agency records."
• "Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Chairman Joe Lieberman (ID-Conn.) called for expanded security measures on the nation's railways and buses following terrorist attacks in Moscow's subway system," Roll Call (subscription) reports.
Lobbying: Midterms Could See Record Spending

Citroën selects 10 best 'Big Air' rally photos
Ten excellent photos of the Citroën C4 WRC flying through the air of Italy, New Zealand, Finland, Norway and Sweden have been released by the automaker to build excitement for the upcoming Rally Finland. Trying to catch the "big air" moments, the ten pix feature driver Sébastien Loeb and others pushing their cars to incredible limits.
"It was an incredible sensation as we were up in the air for several seconds," Loeb said of a massive 85-meter jump in Turkey. "Not for a moment did we imagine that we would jump so far."
Loeb's jump took place during the Ballica stage in April. Not all of the pictures are from this season, and come from various stages since 2001.
Thrills, spills, and 'big air' are synonymous with World Rallying.
During April's Rally of Turkey, Citroën's Sébastien Loeb literally took off on the fast Ballica stage propelling his C4 WRC car an incredible 85 metres into the air.
To celebrate over six years at the top of the sport, Citroën has picked ten of its most spectacular gravity defying jumps ahead of next weekend's Rally Finland.
These stunning photos were captured on events including New Zealand, Sweden, Italy, Norway and arguably the spiritual home of 'big air' moments - Finland.
Commenting on his incredible Turkish jump, Loeb said: "It was an incredible sensation as we were up in the air for several seconds. Not for a moment did we imagine that we would jump so far."
The Citroën Total World Rally Team have been competing in the FIA World Rally Championship since 2001 during which they have won five manufacturers titles and powered Sébastien Loeb to all six of his World Drivers' Championship crowns to make him the most successful rally driver in history.
The Frenchman heads into round eight of the 2010 championship in Finland with a 51 point lead over his closest rival and firmly in the hunt for a record seventh drivers' crown. The Citroën Total World Rally Team also holds a 47 point lead in the Manufacturers' standings.

Special Events: Annual Meeting 2010
VOICES Annual Meeting 2010:
Meeting the Challenge
Meeting the challenge of sustaining staff engagement was the theme of the Voices of the Staff annual meeting held Friday, June 4 at the Radrick Recreation Area. Using the location's Challenge Program course and activities as a backdrop for experiential learning and team building, the meeting focused on tackling that challenge through activities that required cohesive team work and problem-solving skills. Associate Vice President for Human Resources Laurita Thomas welcomed everyone to the challenge course and expressed her excitement about the VOICES' continuation into its sixth year by celebrating the newest cohort of volunteers coming into the program, as well as those transitioning to the alumni team. A special highlight was the morning keynote speaker, former football coach Lloyd Carr. Carr fired up the crowd with a speech about the importance of wanting to be an active member in your organization and how every member of a team contributes valuable assets and individual skills to enrich a group experience.
Leadership Development team member Eric Bain, Business Manager for UMHS Environmental Services, commented on Carr's message by saying: "When I listened to Lloyd Carr speak, it was easy to see why so many people wanted to perform well for him, on and off the field. Coach Carr expressed the importance of genuinely investing in people, and whether you are competing for a National Football Championship or to become a better place to work, the message remains the same: everyone needs to work together. It speaks volumes that the same core values embedded in Voices of the Staff team members mirror those of a National Champion. I am proud to be a member of such a hard working and well respected group, and with the continued growth of dedicated professionals each year, the sky is the limit for what we can accomplish!"
Following the keynote, Carr and Thomas recognized the winners of the Voices Champion Awards by presenting trophies to six individuals and teams:
- Provost Teresa Sullivan, for her support of VOICES as well as her leadership and contributions to the university community.
- Joel Slemrod, Professor of Business Economics and Public Policy, for his support as a manager in allowing Voices alumni member and Work Climate team facilitator Mary Ceccanese, to remain an integral part of the program year after year.
- Mary Caldwell, RN at the U-M Hospitals and Health Centers for her commitment to Voices and her dedicated service to multiple teams and change initiatives around the university.
- The Diversity team, for their creativity and vision in developing a powerful video celebrating the difference that diversity makes at Michigan.
- Melanie Barnett, Senior Executive Director of Executive Education at Ross School of Business, for partnering with VOICES to enable selected volunteers to participate in Executive Education programs.
- Doug Hovey, the Business Process Technology Analyst in Financial Operations for his tireless facilitation of focus groups examining possible changes in retiree health benefits.
Participants then separated into their team challenge activities, illustrating how strong and cohesive the teams have become during the year. The team challenges consisted of various fun and exciting activities that encouraged clear team communication and problem solving. The afternoon keynote was presented by Tony Denton, Senior Associate Director and Chief Operating Officer for U-M Hospitals and Health Centers. Denton commended the Voices of the Staff participants for their continuing commitment to staff initiatives and encouraged everyone to continue to work towards their goals in their individual teams and as the Voices of the Staff community.
Afternoon activities centered on team building and included old and new members who were encouraged to work together in motivational and problem-solving activities. The day ended with closing remarks from Laurita Thomas who thanked members for their participation and expressed her excitement about the difference that VOICES' members make in sustaining employee engagement and making the University of Michigan a better place.
Participant comments:
"I really enjoyed meeting members of my team and working together with many of them on the team building exercises, which were pretty zany, fun and revealing about early team dynamics!"
- Marjorie Horton, Assistant Dean, Undergraduate Education, College of Literature, Science and the Arts, incoming Leadership Development team member
"I enjoyed the spirit of collaboration among the participants. I also very much enjoyed the support expressed by HR leaders and the project management team. I think what I enjoyed the most was the interaction with my team members in the exercises designed for groups. I hope to learn more about how staff can have some influence in setting or modifying university policy for the benefit of all."
- Danilo Gutierrez, Research Computer Specialist, Institute for Social Research, incoming Career Development team member
"I enjoyed meeting new people all of whom share the common goal of inspiring and empowering our U-M staff community to create change that will benefit us and the university on the whole. I also enjoyed the beautiful natural setting which set a tone of peace, joy and serenity."
– Lisa Kelley, Office of Field Instruction Program Coordinator, School of Social Work, incoming Work Climate team member

NORTHRIDGE, Calif. --- Cal State Northridge senior Jennifer Sher has been named the Big West Conference Women's Tennis Player of the Week, the league office announced Wednesday. In a pair of conference road matches last week, Sher finished undefeated in both singles and doubles play.
A senior from Hong Kong, Sher picked up her second weekly award in three weeks by playing some tough tennis at UC Davis and Pacific. Against the Aggies, Sher defeated Megan Heneghan 6-2 and 6-4 and teamed with Sabrina Man-Son-Hing to topple Heneghan and Ellie Edles, 8-2.
The next day, Sher helped lead the Matadors to an important 5-2 road victory at Pacific. In singles, she posted a 7-5, 6-3 decision over Iveta Masarova and once again teamed with Man-Son-Hing to win a 9-7 contest in the No. 1 doubles draw.
Sher is now 12-5 for the season in singles play, including a 5-2 mark against Big West opposition. Over her last 11 matches, Sher is 9-2 in singles play.
In doubles, Sher and Man-Son-Hing are 12-4 on the year and 5-2 against conference competition. The tandem has now won six-straight matches and seven of their past eight.
Competing solely at the No. 1 and No. 2 draws, Sher improved her career record in two seasons to 29-10 in singles and 33-7 in doubles play. Her .744 singles career winning percentage ranks fourth in school history while her .826 career mark in doubles play ranks second. In fact, she ranks just .001 behind first all time, which is held by her former teammate Brooke Doane.
Sher's award marks the third-straight week CSUN has had the conference's top court player according to the league coaches. Last week, Anna Yang earned the honors after picking up an impressive victory at UC Irvine. Two weeks ago, Sher earned the first weekly award of her career after posting a win over UTEP.
Sher, who earned All-Big West First Team honors in both singles and doubles in 2011, was also named Northridge's Women's Big West Scholar Athlete of the Year.
An April 15 match with Cal Poly at Matador Tennis Complex represents the final home match of her career. First serve is slated for 11 a.m.

Andrew Ramspacher: Cato able to keep pace with first team
HUNTINGTON -- Rakeem Cato says he's been growing his beard since his freshman year of high school.
The stress of college football hasn't turned it gray yet.
The Marshall freshman quarterback has taken his reps with the first-team offense in stride during the first two days of full-squad practices.
"I'm comfortable in that role," Cato said. "I just have to adjust to the speed. That's all.
"Everything else is good."
Partly because he's walked into a near carbon copy system to the one he ran last season at Miami Central High.
"It's very similar," said MU head coach Doc Holliday. "He's been in the (shot)gun. He's run the spread offense all through high school with (freshman receiver) Tommy Shuler and those guys.
"He probably was a little ahead of Blake (Frohnapfel) because he's done that. His offense has been more pass-oriented. He's been spread whereas Blake has been more of an underneath center type guy. But both those freshmen, I'm sure glad they're here because they're both production players."
Contrary to Wednesday's practice, it was sophomore A.J. Graham who went No. 2 in the QB rotation behind Cato on Thursday. Sullivan was next, followed by Frohnapfel.
Graham showed some spark in 11-on-11s, dropping in a nice touch screen to Demetrius Evans for a big gain as well as finding a wide-open Shuler across the middle, who easily went in for a 50-yard-plus touchdown.
Saturday's 10:45 a.m. scrimmage should paint a more vivid picture for who nudges forward as things enter the second week of camp.
Cato will try not to look surprised if defensive coordinator Chris Rippon and gang throw a few added blitzes their way.
"Oh, yeah," he said. "We went over that today so that won't be a big thing. Just call my protections out and just identify the right guys on defense.
"So that won't be a problem."
VAN DAY-TO-DAY: Freshman Travon Van dressed but didn't participate in practice on Thursday.
But calm down. Nothing serious going on with the highlight-making running back, said Holliday.
"It'll be a day or two," the second-year coach said of Van's return. "It was a precautionary thing with him. We just don't want something to turn into a nagging thing.
"We want to get it corrected now so it's not a nagging thing a week or two down the road."
Holliday didn't specify what the injury was.
YOUBOUTY COMES BACK: Because of congenital narrowing of the spinal column in his back, John Youbouty's career was thought to be over at this point last year.
He was a Marshall defensive end coming off a 4.5 sack season in 2009, but the damage to his back was thought to be too serious for clearance by the Marshall doctors.
But he's found medical clearance elsewhere.
Youbouty is in camp and practicing at Temple.
"I love John Youbouty," Holliday said. "The thing about Youbouty is our doctors medically ruled him out to play football here at Marshall. And not only did our doctors, but doctors from a lot of other universities did the same thing.
"Temple, I guess their doctors evidently cleared him to go play, so I hope it works out. John's a great kid and I'm happy for him.
"As a coach, I have great confidence in our doctors and they made the right decision there."
SEASON TICKETS: In less than a month, Marshall's 2011 home opener takes place against Southern Miss at Joan C. Edwards Stadium.
Season tickets are on sale at the Marshall ticket office, located inside the Cam Henderson Center.
Also, there will be a Choose-A-Seat Day on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., which will run in correlation with Marshall's opening intrasquad scrimmage.
QB CLUB: Marshall's Quarterback Club is commemorating its 25th anniversary in 2011 at the Quarterback Club Kickoff Dinner on Aug. 20 in the Don Morris Room at the Memorial Student Center.

Ethanol in autos being questioned
It was no coincidence that Denise Waldrop chose to fuel up Wednesday at the Shell station at South 11th Street and Treadaway Boulevard.
The station is one of only a few in Abilene that advertise "No Ethanol" in its tanks, with a banner hung just below the price per gallon.
"I think it runs better with no ethanol, eventually, for the life of the engine," Waldrop said.
But for most cars, that hasn't been true for a long time, according to one engineering expert.
"Twenty years ago, they weren't as adept at making seals and fuel injection systems and materials in manifolds" that are a part of a car's engine, said Stephen Ciatti, principal mechanical engineer for Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois. "There were a fair number of warranty issues addressed at that time that essentially turned that issue into a nonissue."
In many stations in Abilene and elsewhere, the norm is for fuel to be mixed with 10 percent ethanol, a clear, colorless liquid most often made from corn grain, at least in the United States.
While a gallon of ethanol contains 34 percent less energy than a gallon of gasoline, Ciatti downplayed the idea that fuel without ethanol results in better gas mileage.
"Your driving habits have much more influence on the miles per gallon than the fuel that you choose," Ciatti said.
Locally, Si Acuña, program chair for the automotive department at Texas State Technical College West Texas, also said performance wasn't much of a reason to use ethanol-free gasoline over the most common ethanol blend (known as E10, because it contains 10 percent ethanol).
"The manufacturers have designed everything to be compatible to what you're putting in your tank," said Acuña. "When they engineer that engine, they design it to perform, do its best when you put in a blend or gasoline."
To be sure, ethanol does what it is designed to do, Ciatti said.
"The emissions are less, especially if the vehicle is '06 or older," Ciatti said. "You do get a slightly better emissions performance."
The use of ethanol blends has increased dramatically in the last 10 years. According to the American Coalition for Ethanol, about 70 percent of gasoline in the United States is an ethanol blend.
For some, that percentage is too high. Some have said that the widespread use of corn to make fuel causes food prices to rise. In 2008, Texas Gov. Rick Perry was unsuccessful in requesting a waiver for Texas from a federal mandate related to the use of ethanol-blends. Perry cited what he described as a link between ethanol use and an uptick in the price of corn used for agricultural feed lots, as well as food costs.
However, the latest round of debate involves the introduction of fuel with an even higher level of ethanol.
Kris Kiser, executive vice president of the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute, a trade organization, said many consumer products could be damaged if people mistakenly fuel up with an ethanol-gasoline blend that does not meet a product's design specifications.
Already, boaters have complained about the effect of the currently available E10 blend on boat engines. Some have gone so far as to sue oil companies, claiming that not enough was done to warn them that ethanol-blended gasoline could damage boat motors and tanks. A case filed in Florida was settled earlier this year, according to federal court records.
Kiser said product manufacturers are "not anti-ethanol. We can design a product to run on it," Kiser said. But with older products on the market, "the challenge becomes, how do you protect folks in the field?"
Today, the U.S. Department of Energy is expected to release to the Environmental Protection Agency test results related to the performance of older automobiles fueled with a 15-percent blend of ethanol with gasoline, Reuters reported Wednesday. (Since the 2007 model year, automobiles have been designed to a standard with higher-blends of ethanol-containing fuels in mind.)
Kiser said, however, that he expects the Environmental Protection Agency to begin allowing the sale of higher ethanol blends as soon as next month.

Thu Jan 27 2005 Local Vendor Threatens to End Relationship with HLS labs
Quantum Analytics — based in the Bay Area — has been leasing analytical instrumentation that Huntingdon Life Sciences (a vivisection firm that kills over 500 animals a day, testing chemicals, medical drugs like Viagra, and household products) needs to perform basic lab services. Leaked documents show not only what has been rented by HLS, but the increasingly tumultuous relationship between HLS and Quantum as the lab cannot pay its bills. Emails shooting back and forth between the US and the UK document the tardiness by HLS and the frustration of Quantum. On several occasions Quantum has threatened to pull the plug on their agreement, and now Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty (SHAC) activists are seeking to convince Quantum to follow through on the threats and sever their relationship with HLS.
