Why is this in *Lies?

The following day, the Scarbrough family appeared on NBC's Today Show.
Preston, for his part, explained how he learned to drive.

Watched my mom. Watched my sister.

Video of the Today Show segment can be seen here.

watching the movie who killed the electric car. battery technology is there but is owned by oil companies go figure. that show was obviously biased and i love how they linked it to a nuclear power plant at the end, even though nuclear power if done right is actual really clean energy. i am sure as well the reviews on preston tucker's torpedo wasn't bias it either.

What is so disappointing about this video is that the first half is for the Tesla then the last half is all about destroying it. Same shit they did to Preston Tucker. Also side note Lotus has been producing cars for over 50 years Tesla just produced their first car this year and still beat the Elise. Lost a mild amount of respect for Top Gear.

billy preston (keyboard player) rarely gets the credit he deserves. you can barely see him in this video, even during a great solo.

Not a recent book at all, really, but still really good. I'd definitely recommend picking it up if you get a chance next time you're at the library.

^No, I'm afraid I've never read it, but then I never even heard of Douglas Preston until I found this video. Shows how much SciFi I've read in recent years.

btw, Douglas Preston often works on books with Lincoln Child, and they wrote Relic, one of my favorite books. Anybody else here read it?

*promote since Preston & Chantelle are no longer together.

People playing: Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton, Ringo Star, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, Billy Preston, Albert Lee, Ray Cooper, and others.

This is the best version of this I've ever heard.

"because smallpox was eradicated by a vaccine."

If you think smallpox has been completely eradicated, think again...

"In Joe Esposito's lab, at the Centers for Disease Control, there was a test going of a biosensor device for detecting smallpox. It was a machine in a black suitcase. It could detect a bioweapon using; the process called the polymerase chain reaction, or P.C.R. -- the same kind of molecular fingerprinting that police use to identify the DNA of a crime suspect. The suitcase thing was called a Cepheid Briefcase Smart Cycler, and it had been co-invented by M. Allen Northrup, a biomedical engineer who founded a company to make and sell biosensors. He was there, along with a cluster of other scientists.

Esposito, the official guardian of one half of the world's official supply of smallpox, handed a box of tubes to a scientist in the room. Two of the tubes contained the whole DNA of smallpox virus but not live smallpox. The DNA drifted in a drop of water; it was the Rahima strain. Two other tubes contained anthrax. The samples were snapped into slots in the machine.

Northrup turned his attention to a laptop computer that nestled in the machine. Northrup is a chunky man with a mustache and reddish-brown hair. He tapped on the keys.

We waited around, chatting. Meanwhile, the Cepheid was working silently. It showed colored lines on its screen. In fifteen minutes, the anthrax lines started going straight up, and someone said, "The anthrax is screaming." Finally, one of the smallpox lines crept upward, slowly. "That's a positive for smallpox, not so bad," a scientist said. Emergency-response teams could carry a Cepheid suitcase to the scene of a bioterror event and begin testing people immediately for anthrax or smallpox. The machine is priced at sixty thousand dollars.

Afterward, Joe Esposito went around collecting the used tubes. The smallpox-sample holder -- a plastic thing the size of a thumbnail-had been left on a counter. I picked it up.

Esposito wasn't about to let anyone walk off with smallpox. "Leave me that tube," he said. "You are not allowed to have more than twenty per cent of the DNA."

Before I handed it to him, I glanced at a little window in the tube. When I held it up to the light, the liquid looked like clear water. The water contained the whole molecules of life from variola, a parasite that had colonized us thousands of years ago. We had almost freed ourselves of it, but we found we had developed a strong affinity for smallpox. Some of us had made it into a weapon, and now we couldn't get rid of it. I wondered if we ever would, for the story of our entanglement with smallpox is not yet ended."

It might return sooner than you think thanks to bio-weaponized technology... also a few cases have popped up since 1977.
