...wowed U.S. audiences with his verbal dexterity last week, Chávez seemed only to enhance his reputation for gratuitous Bush baiting. After Chávez's speech at the General Assembly, the U.S. ambassador to the U.N., John Bolton, called the performance "a comic-strip approach to international affairs." A product of Venezuela's llanos, or rural plains, Chávez patterns his style after the straight-talking llaneros (cowboys) he grew up with.

Thus, because carbon dioxide is a waste product, hydrogen cars recreate the same problem that they are advertised to sidestep: greenhouse gas emissions, which the balance of scientific evidence suggests lead to global warming. More environmentally friendly methods of generating hydrogen, such as coaxing bacteria to turn water alone into hydrogen, are still largely in the exploratory phase...
...Delirium Yum Bizarre product names only enhance the 74-year-old German Ingo Maurer's status as the world's most outlandish lighting designer. Co-created with his colleague Sebastian Hepting, this 80-cm-tall version is the little sister of an installation at Maastricht's Kruisherenhotel, a renovated ex-monastery.
