Times like these probably make Mike McGovern hate his job. For all he knew, it could've been my first time on a track. Or my first time at the helm of a 630-hp twin-turbocharged V8, which it was. As chief instructor at the Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving, he's probably seen his fair share of overinflated egos who, for some reason or another, thought they could drive. He's had the misfortune of riding shotgun with the ham-fisted, the apex-ignorant, the overzealous, and he probably didn't get paid enough to do so.
We were hurtling down the front straight of the Bondurant track, into Fourth gear for a few seconds, nearly touching 100 mph, before the braking markers appeared. McGovern's feet went instinctively to the carpet, pounding up and down, hard on the brakes, the imaginary pedals on the front passenger side that all driving instructors pump when approaching a tight right-hand chicane at 100 mph. "Brake, brake, brake," he said as the braking markers "4" and "3" flashed by. I held off until we hit the number "2" marker, then laid into the brakes and turned in while trailing off.
I left the braking late not to make the instructor's life flash before his eyes but to test the limits of an Audi R8 that had recently been fortified by an Evolution Motorsports twin-turbocharger system. While probing its limits and looking for flaws or limitations, I failed to find any weaknesses. Those limits are lofty yet approachable thanks to a chassis that stayed composed, communicative, forgiving, and obedient. The many accolades the R8 has garnered since its release are definitely well deserved.
Perhaps the only knock against the R8, at least in eight-cylinder form, is that it lacks the kind of power to put it in the same conversation as comparable offerings from Porsche and Ferrari. Audi addressed that by dropping in a slightly detuned version of the V10 from the Lamborghini Gallardo, but where does that leave the owners with the V8?
Todd Zuccone of Evolution Motorsports, (EVOMS) in Tempe, Ariz., saw both the deficiencies and the potential in the V8 R8 and figured he'd fill that void. EVOMS is best known for taking Porsche Turbos to the edge and living to tell about it. The company's 996 TT put them on the map when it hit 231 mph in the standing mile, and while I was in the shop, there were several 1,100-hp Turbos in for service or waiting to be picked up by their owners. Suffice it to say Zuccone and his crew have forced induction down cold.
For the R8, they started by taking apart the engine to look for weak links or areas of concern. Satisfied, they decided that the stock engine would be able to handle a fair amount of boost, around 8 psi, without breaking.
Zuccone went with large turbos instead of smaller, quicker-spooling units because the less restrictive, larger turbos wouldn't generate as much heat. For this setup, he chose Garrett GT35 dual ball bearing turbos with upgraded Tial billet compressor wheels. The wastegates and blow-off valves are also by Tial. All the extra piping, plumbing, and exhaust works were designed and fabricated in-house, with an emphasis on OEM-level fit and compatibility with actual OEM pieces. The ECU is the factory Bosch unit, reprogrammed by EVOMS.
Heat became the main issue during development and to combat it, just about everything received a coating of Jet-Hot 2000. All of the original heat shields are used and a few new ones were fabricated. EVOMS also created new air ducting to feed the intercooler's heat exchanger, which sits behind the air duct "blade" in front of the rear wheel.
As for the intercooler itself, it's a liquid cooled unit utilizing four Laminova cores. EVOMS designed it to fit between the intake runners and the intake manifold. According to their tests, this configuration provided lower intake air temperatures and pressure drop than an intercooler placed between the turbos and the intake runners.
At 8 psi of boost, on a cool day, using pump gas, Zuccone estimates the engine will put out between 630 to 650 hp. Either figure trumps the 525 hp of the 5.2-liter V10 and the 560 hp in the upcoming R8 GT.
It was 113 degrees when I drove it on the Bondurant track, with the track temperature above 150 degrees. EVOMS decided to dial it back from 8 to 6 psi of boost to play it safe but the car didn't lack for velocity. If anything, the engine catapulted the car soo quickly through the gears that I found myself into the rev limiter sooner than expected. The power forces you to stay on your toes and ready for the next upshift, but it's not the kind of power that slams the back of your head against the headrests. Instead, the power delivery has the linear, forceful surge of a jet during takeoff-the build-up, the stored energy, the release.
Combine that surge with an exhaust soundtrack that's raucous and raw enough to boil your blood. This may sound heretical, but its deep, burbling baritone is not unlike an American muscle car, albeit one with a more insistent, higher-strung tone.
There was some noticeable, but not debilitating, turbo lag coming out of slow Second-gear corners. It lasted only a split second before increased revs got the turbos to spin again, but it felt far from feeling like an "on-off" switch, a malady that plagues many large-turbo setups. And because it retains the stock engine's high compression ratio, drivability around town is practically the same as stock.
That day, the car was passed around among four drivers: Bob Bondurant; chief instructor Mike McGovern; the car's owner, Dan Withers; and myself. Despite being run hard in the searing temperatures, the water temperature gauge never moved from center, a testament to how thoroughly EVOMS sorted the cooling systems. Both Bondurant and McGovern gave the car high marks for power, handling, and brakes. Bondurant also noted the hint of turbo lag at low revs.
Props have to be given to the factory suspension and brake setups. As mentioned earlier, the brakes never faded throughout the afternoon. The suspension, set on Sport for the most part, handled the extra power well. If I had nits to pick, I'd say the rear springs/shocks could be a little stiffer to reduce the squat under hard acceleration, but it wasn't something that diluted the experience. EVOMS changed the stock tires to Michelin Pilot Sport Cups and they held up admirably, offering neck-straining levels of grip and a hard-wired connection of feedback through the steering wheel.
Zuccone says that by the time you read this, the kit will be ready to go. And if 630 hp isn't enough, they're also working on a fully built engine with new rods and pistons to withstand more boost. Zuccone expects to see 900 hp from that engine. With a larger intercooler, this kit can also be easily adapted to the 5.2-liter V10 engine. And it wouldn't be a surprise if EVOMS went all out with a fully built 1,000-plus V10 as well.
With this twin-turbo R8, EVOMS created something that not only gets it into the conversation with Porsche 911 Turbos and Ferrari F430s, it moves up a class into GT2 and Scuderia territory. Not bad company and probably where it should've been had Audi really wanted to build a halo car. EVOMS, however, is glad Audi saved some room for dessert. Special thanks to the Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving for letting us use the track.

sj10 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de fondo de Twitter y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 14 diseños de 4 diseñadores freelance.
Steve Jaffe
I'm a professional online marketer and MIT-trained MBA. I coach entrepreneurs on online strategy and direct marketing tactics.
To clarify: This contest is for a *Facebook Fan Page* design graphic, NOT a Twitter design. (99designs has no FB Fan Page category, Twitter was the closest category)
The world's 2nd most popular website(!), Facebook has evolved beyond profiles and now includes Fan Pages that showcase businesses. Coca-Cola, Starbucks, Adidas and other major brands have unique FB Fan Pages. Small business owners are realizing they too need a Fan Page.
**Demand for Fan Page designs will skyrocket in 2011** This is a hot niche to add to your portfolio! Money to be made here.
My Fan Page strategy is somewhat cutting edge. I will be driving targeted, paid and free traffic to this fan page, in order to generate leads that do precisely 2 things on my fan page:
(1.) Click the "Like" button (to follow my Fan Page)
(2.) Opt-in to my email list. Specifically, after the visitor clicks the "Like" button, the visitor will enter his/her name, email and (optionally) phone number into a web form that resides on the Fan Page
The design is intended to entice the visitor to do BOTH tasks: Click Like AND Opt-In.
I'll handle all coding. You only need to apply your skill and creativity to the design!
My Fan Page targets people aged 25-55 who want to make money online from home and who fall into 1 of 3 categories:
1) People interested in sustainability-related topics (such as hybrid cars, green design, eco-travel, natural foods, outdoor recreation, alternative energy, etc.) OR
2) Serious entrepreneurs such as people who are researching or seeking a franchise opportunity OR
3) People seeking a home-based business opportunity/people who already have a home business such as network (multilevel) marketers and affiliate marketers
People in my target market are aspirational: They hunger to radically improve the quality of their lives and are actively looking for vehicle to do so.
Design must be professional, clean and really pop. My layout is only to show approx. location of ea. element. All colors, fonts, text size, arrows design, arrows color, background color are all open to change. ** Feel free to get creative!**
Background should be a light color, or white.
Watch these short video detailing specs.:
(1.) FB Fan Page template.psd "Blank" Fan Page on which to build your design
(2.) FB Fan Page specs.psd Detailed specs. w/ basic layout . *Use your creativity to make this design pop!**
*Your design must reside in a rectangular region of 'FB Fan Page template.psd' that is no wider than 520 pixels wide x 395 pixels height.* See guides in 'FB Fan Page template.psd' *These are STRICT dimensions limits*. FB limitsFan Page designs width to 520 px. 395 px height assures critical elements above the fold
Arrow #1 MUST include the FB "Like" button graphic & reside precisely below the actual FB "Like" button graphic.

Do you see? It's pastel! Pastel? ME????? I don't think so! I contemplated on what to do. Should I refuse it and appear ungrateful? Should I maybe make something and probably hate it because I'm really not a pastel girl? Oh what to do? So.....after a few weeks of thinking, I decided since it was just my birthday last Sunday, and since I really have not been sewing because I have been "down for the count" with this sickness crud again, I would have a re-gifting day! AND......I sure hope you don't comment and ask for it just because it's free! Please plan on using it, if you really want it! Unless, of course, you plan on having a re-re-gifting day. lol That would be okay too, I suppose!!! Who knows, this poor Kona Jellyroll could make the whole blog circuit if we planned it right. lol Anyway, that's the scoop!
You also must see the cute Birthday postcard my awesome friend, Annie made me:
She's the BEST!! Thank you, Annie! I love it! So, go comment now and tell me why you think you need a Kaurfman Pastel Jellyroll. I'll be interested in hearing............(and make sure you leave an e-mail address so if you win, I can contact you.) I'm thinking of Friday......or maybe Saturday morning. Hopefully, by then I will have sewn something to show you.

There's a joke about the guy who arrives in Hell and on his first day he's told, "Don't worry, it'll only feel like an eternity."
That same punch line applies to the bounty suspensions.
More than eight months after the situation first came to light, the procedure for determining whether and to what extent a quartet of players will be suspended won't end during the 2012 season, according to Chris Mortensen of ESPN.
Per Mortensen, the November 20 hearing before former Commissioner Paul Tagliabue will be only the first of multiple sessions, which means that Tagliabue will be using a more detailed, judicial process that Commissioner Roger Goodell would have employed.
This also means that Tagliabue could require a real "discovery" process, allowing both sides to get access to information that, under Goodell, may have remained under wraps. Likewise, Tagliabue is likely to require the league to produce former Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams and former Saints assistant Mike Cerullo for testimony regarding their sworn statements that incriminate the players.
This may not be a positive development for some of the players. Saints defensive end Will Smith's salary skyrockets from $825,000 in 2012 to $9 million in 2013, which means the price tag for his four-game suspension would shoot from $194,117 to $2.117 million.
Then there's the real possibility that Smith's cap number will get him whacked during the offseason, and that a looming four-game suspension could keep him from getting another job.
Ditto for free-agent defensive end Anthony Hargrove, who has gotten no sniffs with his suspension pending. It will apparently still be pending, for a while.
For Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma and Browns linebacker Scott Fujita, the development could allow them to retire after the season — and to never serve the suspensions at all.
Regardless, we won't have an answer any time soon. Which may be the worst news of all, for everyone.

Our Little School Boy
Joaquin has been in preschool now for a little less than a month and I thought I would share an update. He is THRIVING in school and I don't know if it's his age now or his going to school or what it is but he is soaking up the world around him. He is obsessed with letters, numbers, picture cards, manipulative puzzles, throwing/catching/kicking balls, and anything musical.
He will recite the ABC's on his own with very little to no prompting. He grabs magnetic letters off the fridge and 8 out of 10 times he accurately identifies the letter. He wants to count things all the time. He LOVES books and asks to read books more than any other activity. He is using scissors on his own. He is potty training. He is exploding with his language. He is so HAPPY.
He now asks for the bus when he wakes up and wants to put his backpack on and get out the door to wait for the big yellow school bus. He gets on and just SMILES now. He loves it. We blow kisses to each other and it's the cutest, sweetest goodbye I have ever experienced with any of my children.
I have no doubt that this is the absolute BEST thing for Joaquin. I'm so grateful for our school system and for the teachers and for the therapists, friends, and family that have helped prepare Joaquin for this next BIG step in his growth and development and independence.
I found out today that he is starting OT and PT at school every week in addition to the ST he gets twice a week and all of these therapies will be "pushed in" to the classroom setting. Our team would like to do another IEP in May to prepare and revise his plan for the Fall. Joaquin will be starting full immersion preschool this Fall with all the other incoming neighborhood 3 year olds two days a week at our home school down the street. On the other days, he will continue to take the bus to attend his Special Day Program where he will receive all his intensive therapies to continue to help him thrive in "typical" preschool. So all in all, I feel like I've hit the lottery with this team of teachers and therapists and professionals. They care....they really truly care and love my child. We are so blessed. I'm going to stay positive and believe that there is every chance that our experience will continue to be positive. I know it's a long and difficult and challenging road ahead but I feel like we've got a terrific start!

What wonderful news - I am so happy that Joaquin loves school and is obviously thriving! That is just great, great, great!! He is so handsome and getting so big - I remember your's was the first blog I ever stumbled across when Malakai was born - what a journey the past 2 and a half years has been - simply amazing to see how gorgeous Joaquin is!

Jen, that's so awesome! Joaquin has always been amazing, why wouldn't he be at school? :-) Remember the "i did it" shirt? He can totally claim that once more at school in all he's learning. I love his love for learning. I need to get those magnetic ABC's, that's a great idea. So glad you're happy, but more glad that he's happy and loving life!
- March 8, 2011 at 11:27 PM
I think it is what we all truly want-a place to feel good about ourselves and have positive activities to make our world better. But, truly his home must be very happy too, for Joaquin to be a such a happy boy. You are an awesome mom and know that you are just as responsible for his day as his school and therapist. Your blog is an inspiration! Paula

WASHINGTON (AP) — A person familiar with the situation says the surgery on Robert Griffin III's knee revealed damage to the ACL.
The Washington Redskins quarterback had surgery Wednesday morning to repair a torn lateral collateral ligament in his right knee. The procedure also examined Griffin's ACL, which he tore while playing for Baylor in 2009. Another torn ACL would complicate Griffin's chances of returning by the start of next season.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the Redskins had not made an announcement about the latest details surrounding the rookie quarterback's injury.
Griffin sprained the LCL last month and reinjured the knee in Sunday's playoff loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

Hi Cero...
Try downloading Trancendence again and TransData again. Unpack Transcendence and then place the unpacked TransData.exe file in the same directory. Use the command prompt to navigate to the folder where Transcendence is, and then run TransData from there. If you still get the errors, then something really funky is going on with your system.
Here you can get help resolving Transcendence-related issues.

I hadn't been home to Australia in the 4 years I've been living in London so thought it was time for a trip back to check out what has been happening in my absence.
If you thought London was starting to get seriously geeky about coffee, you ain't seen nothing yet if Australia is any indication of where it's all heading.
There seems to have been an explosion of micro- roasters, single origin coffees, lighter roasting, drip brewing, hi-tech gadgetry and perhaps most inexplicably, baristas wearing bib aprons.
Located down a side street in Collingwood, (what used to be a pretty dingy part of Melbourne but now home to all the hot new cafes, bars and restaurants in town) Proud Mary is a modern and airy warehouse conversion that epitomises the pointy end of the coffee revolution in Melbourne.
There's an impressive array of coffee paraphenalia on display to provide customers with a choice of extraction methods: syphon, filter, clover, cold drip, or if you're old school, an espresso based coffee made with the world's first custom built 6 group Hydra Synesso machine which allows the baristas to adjust the temperature of each group head to suit particular single origin or blended coffees. Each day they offer 3 different single origins as well as 2 blends for their espresso based coffee drinks. And that's just the espresso.
It was here that I had one of the most amazing coffees I've ever tasted.
60mls of cold drip single origin Sumatran coffee extracted over 12 hours, served on ice. The taste was indescribable – so sweet, clean and smooth, it was like a fine liqueur.
From there I visited the cafes set up by the Seven Seeds coffee roasters:
|Brother Baba Budan in Little Bourke Street (Photo courtesy of Breakfast Out)
|De Clieu in Gertrude St, Collingwood
|The original, Seven Seeds in Carlton. Note men in bibs.
The East Brunswick Project in Nicholson St who roast their own coffee called Padre.
St Ali in South Melbourne
And the Auction Rooms, who roast Small Batch coffee, in Errol St, North Melbourne
As I went down my 'best of' list I was starting to feel a little bemused and alienated, and not dissimilar to how I felt during the Summernats car festival when I was living in Canberra. There seemed to be lots of boys revving their engines and admiring their reflections in big shiny machines, speaking a language I didn't understand.
This new wave of coffee does provide some good entertainment (as does Summernats) but what I really wanted was a welcoming space to catch up with friends. What had happened to the little unpretentious and quirky cafes that I loved about Melbourne and where were all the chicks? Fear not, as they are also there in abundance, going about their business, serving fantastic food and coffee but without quite so much noise or petrol fumes.

When I read that twitter comment I knew what I wanted to hold onto from my trip back home. A commitment to individuality. 'Independent' is an ethos, not a brand. I'm going to surf my own wave.

Applied Materials Rising: Bulls Cheer Opportunities in Device Complexity
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Shares of Applied Materials (AMAT) are up 53 cents, or 3.5%, at $15.67, as the Street responds to the company's analyst day session yesterday, at which the company projected per-share net profit of $1.50 to $2.15 by 2016, well above the 62 cents the Street expects for the fiscal year ending this October.
CEO Mike Splinter and the other executives talked about mobile as the dominant theme for their semiconductor customers, with consumer gadgets that require longer battery life and better displays "creating major device performance and yield challenges for semiconductor and display manufacturers."
There are no ratings or price target or estimate changes today, that I can see, but the bulls have been out in force, cheering the "upbeat" tone from the company about its prospects in not only conventional areas such as "etch," but also the promise of more complex semiconductor structures, such as three-dimensional transistors.
Jagadish Iyer, Piper Jaffray: Reiterates an Overweight rating, and a $20 price target. "As the revolution in transistors gets underway, AMAT sees $800m in incremental revenues from increasing process steps particularly in Epitaxial Silicon Germanium as well as from Metal gate deposition for improved leakage performance. In the interconnect segment AMAT sees $400m in incremental opportunity particularly for metal deposition. As AMAT focuses on patterning and improving presence in process control, it sees an additional $400m in incremental revenues by '16 from this segment. Furthermore, AMAT continues to make progress in etch. […] AMAT sees its overall display revenues climbing to ~$1bn by '16 from $0.55bn presently driven by an increase in display units and area (driving higher capital intensity) along with 500bps of share gains. Moves to 4K/8K TV as well as to OLED TV continue to drive 2x the number of tools from the current level of 10 tools for a factory running 60K sheets/m.
Patrick Ho, Stifel Nicolaus: Reiterates a Buy rating, and a $17 price target. "We believe the overriding theme of the day was the company's focus on new product development ("Product Development Engine"- PDE) and the opportunities related to Precision Materials Engineering (PME) […] We believe there are several tailwinds ahead for the company and much of it relates to the company's focus on new materials engineering. As the industry migrates to 28nm and below and new process technologies emerge (i.e., FinFET, 3D NAND structures), there is an increasing materials complexity. These trends all favorably fall into many of Applied's key market segments […] Based on WFE scenarios of $30 billion to $37 billion, the company outlined revenue targets in the range of $9.9 billion to $12.4 billion and pro-forma EPS in the range of $1.50 to $2.15. Our prior forecast was for $1.50 on approximately $10 billion in revenue and thus, this is the low end of its new targeted goals. With its increased TAM opportunities ahead (and thus, revenue growth), our focus will now be on the execution internally."
Terence Whalen, Citigroup: Reiterates a Buy rating and a $20 price target. "AMAT's CEO, CFO, President, and business unit general managers voiced a consistent and credible message stressing growth and share gains enabled by AMAT's unique precision materials engineering products and re-energized company culture under the new ex-VSEA management team […] AMAT talked about ~$400M of incremental spares and services after market revenue opportunities, 1-3pts materials cost reduction per year, +$200M productivity and overhead improvements, and 2-3 pts lower tax rates. Gross margins are expected to expand to 46% from 44% on higher silicon and services or 86% of sales mix. Operating expenses are expected to grow 6 pts below projected revenue growth as company streamlines functions and simplifies organizational structure."
Mahesh Sanganeria, RBC Capital Markets: Reiterates an Outperform rating and $17 price target. "or the last 30 years, node-to-node performance improvement has been driven by litho scaling. Going forward, Applied Materials expects new materials and structures will be the driver of performance improvement. We agree with management's expectation. Management believes that this trend plays into AMAT's core strength [….] 3D NAND will have higher etch and deposition intensity. AMAT estimates that the shift from litho to etch and deposition will present $500M opportunity per 100k WSPM. The company hopes to gain market share during this important inflection. While we agree that 3D NAND will present significant opportunity in the deposition and etch segments, we expect the Company to face strong competition.
Satya Kumar, Credit Suisse: Reiterates a Neutral rating and a $13 price target. "This was one of the better analyst days we have attended from AMAT over the years – company laid out specific target of ~$2 in EPS by 2016 assuming the cycle co-operates which should keep the bulls happy. We think Lam Research (LRCX) has more upside if AMAT's bullish cycle view plays out, but AMAT made a compelling case for at least some of the technology headwinds (AMAT's SAM shrinking as part of WFE) could become tailwinds at the FinFET and 3D NAND transitions […] we expect the more relevant cycle updates to come from LRCX, KLA Tencor (KLAC) and TE Connectivity's (TEL) analyst days tomorrow which will also have to guide Sep quarter soon."
Edwin Mok, Needham & Co.: Reiterates a Hold rating. "Mgmt maintained 2013 WFE at the mid-pt of $28-30B, or down 0-10%, but commented that 2014 should grow. Additionally, AMAT expects WFE to further grow in 2015-16 based on 16nm foundry and green field 3D NAND investments. We believe the $37B target looks aggressive unless end demand drivers warrant increased spending by the chipmakers […] In 2014, we believe investments in 20nm foundry and 3D NAND will drive incremental growth for AMAT, but earnings likely will not approach its long-term 2016 target of $1.50-2.15/sh. With the 30% YTD increase in share price, we believe this earnings power is priced in, and we expect limited upside to the stock until the market sees more evidence of the drivers starting to materialize.

I keep forgetting to mention this. But my second and a half book came out in November. It's called Eiji Tsuburaya: Master of Monsters: Defending the Earth with Ultraman and Godzilla. Even though the author credit is August Ragone, and even though August is a real guy and he wrote the text, and even though my name only appears buried deep within the acknowledgments section (thanks), it's really my book as much as it is his.
Here's why. I sold the idea of a book about the life and work of Eiji Tsuburaya -- the man who did the special effects for the classic Godzilla films of the 50s and 60s -- to Chronicle Books a number of years ago. That was the easy part. Then I had to sell the idea of the book to Tsuburaya Productions. That was like pulling teeth. But eventually I pushed it through the layers of corporate bureaucratic dumbness and got things rolling. Then I had to get the book itself together. As with most books Chronicle publishes (like The Beatles Anthology or Inside Out: A Personal History of Pink Floyd or even What's Your Poo Telling You?) the focus was going to be more on photos than text. So I had to run all over Japan and America rounding up cool photos of Eiji Tsuburaya at work on Godzilla movies and Ultraman TV shows, paying special attention to pictures that hadn't been published a million times over already. I then had to figure out who owned the rights to these shots and secure permission for their use as well as arrange proper payment to the rights holders. Then I had to write captions for all the pictures and tell the book designers which chapters they went with.
On the writing side, I had to commission August to write it and see that he got paid. After he turned in a manuscript nearly three times as long as we could use, I had to work with Chronicle to decide where to cut it. Then I had to go through the entire text, with August's MS on one side of the desk and a pile of Japanese books about Eiji Tsuburaya on the other, and fact check everything, making corrections where needed. August very definitely wrote the text of the book. No question about that. I don't make any claims to having written anything but the photo captions and my own sidebar, as well as ghost-writing Akira Tsuburaya's sidebar based on interviews with him I conducted for the book. But there wouldn't have been a book to write without the stuff I did. So I feel like it's my baby, and maybe August is my (gulp) boyfriend... (to extend the baby metaphor to a highly uncomfortable degree)
I'm really happy with the way the book turned out. I think it's one of the best books on the subject of Eiji Tsuburaya's life and work ever done, even including some of the terrific ones available in Japanese. August turned in a fine piece of writing and the designers did an amazing job of taking what we gave them and turning it into a very classy book.
Aside from being a cool book about guys dressing in rubber dinosaur costumes and knocking down miniature recreations of Tokyo (which is enough right there if you ask me), it's an incredible piece of social anthropology. The very first Godzilla film (available on DVD as Gojira / Godzilla Deluxe Collector's Edition (Gojira/Godzilla [1954] / Godzilla, King of the Monsters [1956])) was probably the very first film about the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Watch the Japanese version sometime. It's a fairly grim and serious movie, with the monster as such an obvious stand-in for the bomb you can't possibly miss it. Eiji had done special effects for Japanese propaganda pictures during the war, and it was those techniques he put to use on his monster movies. But his work on propaganda films got him blacklisted by the US occupation forces, which is why he didn't do much work under his own name for the first few years after the war. Godzilla was a movie that could not have been made under US occupation censorship rules. It's significant that it was made just a couple years after the Yanks left.
So there ya go. All you folks who are saying you want to read another book by me, there's your chance. Makes a great Buddha's Enlightenment Day (Dec. 8) gift!

HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS — You can decide for yourself if Jalen Rose is working the microphone and camera (and us, his listeners and viewers) when he claims to have intentionally slid his foot under Kobe Bryant's foot in Game 2 of The Finals way back in 2000.
We should note that Rose, a noted member of the Fab Five and a man reared in a Detroit basketball tradition known for utilizing every craft tactic known to human kind when it comes to trying to gain a competitive advantage on the court, is universally regarded as a man of his word. So when he makes any claim on "The Jalen Rose Show" on the new Grantland channel, no matter how outrageous it seems on the surface, it should be taken seriously.
What's not up for debate is whether or not Bryant's memory of a slight years earlier, even one as seemingly innocent as a foot slid underneath his on the sly, would be cause for revenge on a wicked night in Los Angeles some five-plus years later (when the Black Mamba showed off his bite and destroyed Rose and the Toronto Raptors):

"The Community College of Rhode Island has given me fond memories and a life-time friendship with many of my colleagues."
Marianna Pacitto dedicated more than 25 years of service to the Community College of Rhode Island. She joined the college in 1967 when it – and she – were just starting out. Throughout the years she established herself as a "super secretary" who went beyond the call of duty on a daily basis. Consistently cheery and always helpful, Pacitto is fondly remembered by the countless CCRI students, faculty and colleagues who have benefited from her kindness and competence.
At the age of 18, Pacitto began her tenure with CCRI at the CIC complex in Providence. She was one of only six full-time clerk typists whose duty it was to perform all clerical aspects of the college. Long before the convenient age of personal computers, fax machines and voicemail, she established herself as a model of efficiency.
Sometimes working seven days a week to ensure that the behind-the scenes operations of the college ran smoothly, Pacitto and her five colleagues handled all clerical needs of the faculty; provided switchboard coverage; typed all student correspondence, including acceptance letters and registration procedures; prepared all outgoing mail for distribution; and for many years she served as the backbone in the office of the academic dean, Dr. Robert A. Silvestre.
In 1977, Pacitto was appointed to serve on the President's Search Committee which selected CCRI's second president, Edward J. Liston. Throughout her tenure at CCRI, she was chosen to serve on many other prestigious committees including CCRI's 25th Anniversary Committee in 1989; the inaugural Hall of Fame in 1994; and the CCRI 1989; the inaugural Hall of Fame Committee in 1994; and the CCRI Accreditation Committees of 1984 and 1994.
In 1985, Pacitto assumed the role of administrative assistant to Judeth Crowley, dean of Arts and Sciences. She held this position until her retirement in 1994 and is remembered fondly for her kindness, competence, and willingness to extend herself beyond her job description to help a colleague, student, or supervisor.
Pacitto's dedication to her job has not gone unnoticed at CCRI. In 1993, she was honored with a 25 Year Recognition Award, and in 1994 she was named CCRI Employee of the Year.

"We must work to pass a farm bill in 2012 because our nation's farmers and ranchers deserve a measure of certainty. Farmers require a safety net that works effectively, and they need access to tools that help them be good stewards of our natural resources," says Jon Scholl, president of American Farmland Trust (AFT). "Those people less fortunate during these economic times deserve a helping hand so they don't go hungry, while our nation as a whole needs the security which effective food policies and programs can bring."
American Farmland Trust and over 60 organizations have sent a letter echoing Scholl's comments to the Senate and House leadership of the agriculture committees. "We, the undersigned, have heard calls for an extension of current law. We ask you to reject these calls for delay and aggressively act to ensure that a new, comprehensive bill is passed this year," states the letter. "A temporary extension of current policy creates tremendous uncertainty..."
In the difficult fiscal climate, Scholl notes, "It is unclear exactly what budget cuts will be made and the implications for farms, farmland and food, but it's perfectly clear that agriculture will have to do more with less."
This spring, however, agriculture has an opportunity for better policies and programs. "I believe this farm bill can be transformational. Our country must make big decisions about the nature of government and how it will spend our money, and agriculture and food policy will be no exception," says Scholl.
"I am excited about the prospects for getting one of the most important pieces of legislation Congress will consider this year done. Protecting farm and ranch land and keeping farmers on their land; providing healthy and safe food; and addressing environmental concerns are the top priorities of a majority of Americans—priorities that we believe can be a part of a farm bill this year," Scholl concludes.

The 2008 Fuerteventura Kitespeed Grand Slam came to an end today with another two exciting races in conditions from 25-35 knots. It was again a hard fight between Sebastien Cattelan, Robert Douglas and Alex Caizergues.
Cattelan ended the event with two more bullets and clearly took the event win, but it was very close between the second and the third place.
The better end was then for Robert Douglas, only one point ahead of Alex Caizergues, and also rewarded by a new american kitespeed record of 40.21 knots.
In the womens fleet both Sjoukje Bredenkamp and Charlotte Consorti took one victory, leaving Charlotte with a perfect score after 8 races. Katja Roose came in third.
The 2008 Fuerteventura Speed:World:Cup continues from Friday on with the ISWC Speed WIndsurfing World Championship, running til the 2nd of August and presenting the top 70 speed windsurfers of the world.

A catheter adapted for placement in the ascending aorta comprises a central catheter mechanism and a balloon structure or other occluding structure at its distal end. The catheter may be placed over the aortic arch such that the balloon structure is placed in the ascending aorta just above the Sinus of Valsalva and coronary ostia. Once in place, the balloon structure is inflated to control blood flow through the aorta during aortic valve ablation and replacement protocols.

About the Maker
Shino Takeda grew up in southern Japan on Kyushu Island. An island rich in ceramic traditions, she was influenced by her mother who collected ceramics, and took Shino to art shows and ceramics studios as a child.
Both delicate and rustic with a touch of New York style, all of Shino's work is one of a kind and hand built. Creating objects that are perfectly imperfect, Shino looks for the story that ties the old to the new.
Shino's work is based on traditional Japanese forms mixed with New York freshness.

Austria's Andreas Haider-Maurer lost the first rubber against Israel's Dudi Sela at this weekend's Davis Cup World Group Play-offs (in Tel Aviv). The scoreline: 6-4, 6-1, 6-3. Last month, Haider qualified for the 2010 US Open Main Draw on his first try; he lost to Robin Soderling in the first round. Not sure what that tattoo is… possibly a bible verse?
Even: Jurgen Melzer beat Harel Levy to put the tie at 1-1. See all the stats here.
Update: That tattoo isn't a bible verse… Andreas' camp tells us that this (6:55) is the exact time of his birth.
