There is no more lively sensation than that of pain; its impressions are certain and dependable, they never deceive as may those of the pleasure women perpetually feign and almost never experience.

Obama to Automakers: We’ll Count Electric Cars Double For Low Emissions Standards
To spur the switch to electric cars the Obama administration is proposing a “build one, get one free” rule for makers of electric cars. For each full electric vehicle they build, it could be used to count as two zero emissions vehicles towards the new low carbon emissions rules they have set. In may, the Obama administration moved the deadline for low carbon cars closer to 2016. Under this proposed new rule each electric car would count two times when figuring the average fuel efficiency of a new-vehicle fleet, making the average easier to meet—if the automaker adds electric cars to its fleet. But an environmental policy group in Washington would prefer to see regular old-fashioned gasoline vehicles built to be more fuel efficient.

When I hang out with the few horseshoe crabs I know, there’s always a lot of trash talking, especially when the subject of oxygen-transporting metalloproteins comes up. While I admit hemocyanin, used by horseshoe crabs, has a nice blue color when oxygenated, it’s just not good enough for me to abandon hemoglobin, which is, I must say, a great protein.
