Road Beat: Review - Lexus IS 500 F Sport is an old school hot rod

To F or not, the IS 500 is an absolute riot of a car, and one of particularly excellent value. For your dough, you get a wonderful, snarling five-liter V8 with 472 horsepower that forgoes turbocharging to instead swallow our atmosphere all on its own like an Olympic runner.

UC Davis research shows older wildfire smoke plumes can affect climate

The research, published in the journal Environmental Science and Technology, suggests that wildfire emissions even 10 days old can affect the properties of aerosols — suspended liquid or particles that are key to cloud formation.
