Committee upholds certification decision in Aberdeen election
Last Monday, the Democratic Election Committee announced that it would not be certifying Willie Cook or Kennedy Meaders for the citys April 1 election.
A meeting was set aside on Wednesday if those candidates wanted to contest that ruling. Cook did. Meaders, who would have been a candidate for police chief, did not attend.
Coy Flynn, committee chairman, opened the meeting and said, Were here to hear what Willie Cook has to say about us not certifying him.
Cook asked why the committee did not certify him. He was not certified, the committee said, because he does not live in the Ward he qualified in, Ward 3. Committee member Bob Miller said pictures had been taken of the house he has in Ward 3 and that prior to that day, the pictures showed it to be vacant.
6-liter plays heavy with Tahoe hybrid
Q: In reference to the Chevy Tahoe hybrid (Transportation, Dec. 16), why would Chevy put the largest Tahoe engines in the hybrid? Wouldn't a smaller, more economical engine, like the 5.3-liter V-8, which also has active fuel management to shut off 4 cylinders when not needed, improve economy more? I'm wondering whether they are making a mistake similar to Honda's now-discontinued V-6 hybrid Accord.
-- P.L., Chicago
A: Chevy says the hybrid adds weight from the batteries so the Tahoe uses a 6-liter V-8 to better handle that weight than the 5.3 liter. Plus, the 6-liter develops enough power so you still can travel 65 to 70 m.p.h. on the interstate when the engine switches to 4 cylinders to conserve fuel.

Page 2's preseason MLB power rankings
We know it's early. We know there are people who think it's too early to rank the teams about to begin the 2008 Major League Baseball season. One hundred and sixty-two games left to be played, they say. Everything still up for grabs, they insist. But these are the same people who say B12 sounds like a plausible explanation, and LiLo's nudey New York Mag shoot looks like the beginning of a real turnaround. These people are innocents. We know better. .
