Audio of Larry Burns speech to the National Hydrogen Association
2008-04-20 03:58:00 A couple of weeks ago, GM VP for Research and Development Larry Burns spoke to the National Hydrogen Association. The focus of his talk was to encourage energy companies to get moving with deploying hydrogen filling stations to support a fleet fuel cell vehicles. GM, Toyota and Honda were all at the NHA conference and the three - along with Daimler - have all indicated their confidence in the efficiency, effectiveness, and durability of fuel cell technology. Burns acknowledged it will take several generations of the technology with increased production volumes to get to a point where it is as affordable as today's powertrains. However, it's difficult for automakers to justify building cars if energy companies won't open retail filling stations. In order to make its Project Driveway program happen, GM had to purchase hydrogen fueling systems to support the 100 Chevy Equinox fuel cell vehicles. Burns called on the industry to roll out 40 stations within the three counties of Los An...

2008-03-14 07:44:00 Art produces ugly things which frequently become beautiful with time.

From out of the two cuts that I clipped, I went for the classic casual over a Bohemian number. My deciding factor should be my stubborn Vandyke beard that I have to shave off on a regular basis. If I dressed my looks, I would be committing the worst fashion faux pas of all. Overstatement is as heinous a crime in fashion as prolixity is in writing.One has to strike a balance between skin and style, cloth and climate, and where most of us fail, between appliqués and age.

2008-03-12 06:00:00 Written by Steve Hofstetter, Keith Alberstadt, Adam Hofstetter, Ryan Murphy, Elliot Steingart, and Chris Strait Miami Heat coach Pat Riley may miss several games with the team to scout NCAA draft prospects. It will be nice for Riley to finally see some quality basketball. Miami’s Dwyane Wade will miss the rest of the season to rehab his knee. He was not available for comment because he was too busy celebrating. The Miami Heat are so bad, Will Ferrell just made a movie about them. An animal rights organization has organized a letter-writing campaign protesting Sports Illustrated’s use of a chimpanzee in their annual Swimsuit Issue. And we thought the hairy knuckle dragger was just Roger Clemens. And 60-year-old actor Billy Crystal will play for the New York Yankees in Thursday’s exhibition game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

The National Lampoons Sports Minute (Or So)
2008-03-11 06:30:00 Written by Steve Hofstetter, Keith Alberstadt, Adam Hofstetter, Ryan Murphy, Elliot Steingart, and Chris Strait The Atlanta Hawks won the NBA’s first replay since 1983 by downing the Miami Heat in a game that lasted just 51.9 seconds. Somehow Miami fans still had time to boo. Wisconsin residents are still reeling from Brett Favre’s retirement. The only thing worse would be if they had to go to a Bucks game. Favre replacement Aaron Rodgers called Shaquille O’Neal over the weekend. For advice on filling big shoes. And turns out Warren Sapp announced his retirement on the same day as Brett Favre. Both of Sapp?s fans were crushed. Of course, that could have just happened when he hugged them. For more of the Sports Minute (Or So), visit minuteorso.com
