...agency says it can't comment since it has not yet tested the Volt. In the meantime, the Society of Auto Engineers continues to tinker with its new hybrid test protocols. It has a lot of automotive fans scratching their heads about the recent Volt m.p.g. claims and how pure-electric vehicles and hydrogen-fuel-cell vehicles stack up. (See the best cars from the 2009 Detroit Auto Show...
...these traders who cryptically buy and sell oil contracts for pure profit, without supplying it or using it? Most people immediately think they're hedge funds but forget about the investment banks.

Then an hour further and I felt like I was on the set of North by Northwest, as crop planes soared down close over...
Other winemakers are becoming intrigued. After Marionnet created a cuvée from the abandoned Gamay de Bouze, young neighbor Julien Courtois of Clos de la Bruyère created his Elément-Terre of pure Gamay de Chaudenay. The two are undoubtedly the only cuvées of their kind. And using the traditional oxidative vin de voile method - in which casks are only partially filled, allowing yeast to grow on the wine's exposed surface - Courtois has transformed ancient Loire varietal Menu Pineau into an ethereal wine with a bouquet of hazelnut and mouth of caramelized apple...
