CHARLOTTE, N.C. (June 2, 2014) Cometic Gasket, Inc. announced today it is expanding its partnership with SPEED Energy Formula Off-Road Presented by TRAXXAS and will become the primary sponsor of the Cometic Stadium Super Truck driven by Justin Lofton at X Games Austin this week. Cometic was a founding partner of the Series in 2013, and continues its relationship with the series as its Official Gasket. In addition to its associate sponsorship position throughout the nine-weekend Formula Off-Road Presented by TRAXXAS season, Cometic will take full advantage of the live ABC and ESPN network telecast of X Games Austin June 6-8 with veteran off-road and NASCAR driver Lofton behind the wheel. "I am very excited and thankful to Cometic Gasket for making this childhood dream of mine a reality, Lofton said. Being able to race a Stadium Super Truck for an X Games gold medal is absolutely awesome and I know all the fans and viewers on ABC and ESPN are going to enjoy the show we put on. Big props to Robby Gordon and all his staff for making this happen and I can't wait to get to Austin. Cometic Gasket, Inc., is a leading worldwide supplier of shelf-stock, custom and short-run gaskets for the automotive performance, powersports, original equipment and remanufactured industries. What originally began in 1989, in an 800 square-foot office with limited production facilities and capabilities, has evolved into a 70,000 square-foot, state-of-the-art manufacturing center. Cometic Gasket is located 30 miles east of Cleveland in Concord Township, Ohio. Today Cometic produces and ships more than 5,000 types of gaskets to customers worldwide. Formula Off-Road is a great way for Cometic to market our gaskets and custom engine-sealing solutions to the off-road racing community, said Bob Gorman, Chief Executive Officer of Cometic Gasket, Inc. Justin Lofton is a young and very talented, multi-dimensional racer who weve had a relationship with dating back to 2008. Justin is very capable of racing up front and we have no doubt that when the checkers wave, hell be on the podium. At the same time, Robby Gordon has done a great job of honoring Mickey Thompsons iconic legacy by bringing back stadium truck racing and reenergizing a proud tradition in American motorsports. The series features a great mix of off-road talent and horsepower and Cometic is proud to showcase our brand not only at X Games Austin, but at all the events. The Stadium Super Trucks that race in the Formula Off-Road by TRAXXAS series hit man-made ramps at more than 100 mph at multiple locations throughout the race courses hurling drivers more than 100 feet down course and as high as 15 feet off the ground. The series features identically prepared trucks which are made to resemble their scaled-down TRAXXAS radio-control-car counterparts. Like their TRAXXAS namesake, the trucks are designed to take flight, however, unlike RC trucks, they produce 600 horsepower generating speeds upwards of 130 miles per hour. In addition to X Games Austins televised race, all Formula Off-Road Presented by TRAXXAS races are broadcast on NBCSN. A complete schedule is available at www.stadiumsupertrucks.com. Most races are also streamed live on the web site.
About SPEED Energy Formula Off-Road presented by Traxxas
Influenced by the former Mickey Thompson Stadium Off-Road Racing Series, where drivers such as Gordon, Casey Mears and six-time NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson got their start, Gordon created Stadium SUPER Trucks to capitalize on the publics overwhelming interest in trucks and SUVs as well as the fact that the majority of automotive aftermarket parts are marketed for trucks.

Famine response needs better science communication
The Horn of Africa drought exposes the continuing gap between our ability to predict disaster and to take effective humanitarian action.
Earlier this week, the UN declared the drought in southern Somalia had become so bad that it could be officially declared a famine — the first time the word had been applied to this region in almost 20 years.
The news came as little surprise to agencies that had been monitoring the lack of rainfall over the past year, which is partly linked to the La Niña event in the Pacific Ocean. They had predicted that a widescale shortage of food was highly likely to occur.
Despite these warnings, and the efforts of international agencies such as UNICEF to take pre-emptive action, the overall humanitarian response has so far been severely inadequate, and unable to prevent further deterioration in living conditions in the region.
The situation emphasises the gap between our rapidly increasing ability to predict disasters, thanks largely to advances in science and technology, and our capacity to generate the political will to carry out effective mitigation strategies.
One important obstacle is that politicians often feel uncomfortable taking decisions when the science is uncertain. So the way that scientific evidence is communicated by researchers and journalists can make a big difference.
But scientists desperately need better communication techniques to ensure that politicians are alerted to credible evidence of a looming humanitarian disaster. This must include ways of reassuring policymakers that, if predictions do not come true, they will not be rebuked for taking unnecessary (and potentially expensive) action.
And journalists too need to engage politicians much better when reporting the scientific aspects of disasters to help ensure that timely action is taken.
Satellites improve prediction
The good news is that modern technology, and in particular the widespread use of remote sensing satellites, has given us the power to predict disasters with far greater accuracy than ever before.
Admittedly there is some way to go before many African governments — with some notable exceptions, such as Nigeria and South Africa — are convinced of the need to make their own substantial investments in this technology.
But this failure has been more than compensated for by the commitments of international and developed-country organisations. Indeed, our ability to predict disasters is one of the major social benefits from investment in space technology over the past 50 years.
Weather prediction is not alone — advances have also been made in predicting volcanic eruptions, widespread flooding, and earthquakes and related tsunamis. In each case, monitoring now has the capacity to save thousands of lives.
Lost opportunities
Too often, however, advanced technical skills outstrip the humanitarian community's ability to make full use of the information that these technologies generate, leading inevitably to lost opportunities.
As Chris Funk, a climatologist with the USAID-funded Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET), told SciDev.Net last week, the organisation's experts were frustrated that their early warnings of the drought in Somalia went largely unheeded.
Not enough had been done to ensure that the information was put to good use: "The technology has outpaced the response systems," said Funk.
The problem is not simply one of communication. For example, FEWS NET's food security alerts, one-page briefing documents, are a model of precise, authoritative information directed at decision-makers.
Rather, the challenges are to get decision-makers to take this type of information on board, and to develop timely and effective response mechanisms.
Reaching the policymakers
Considerable research is already being carried out into the ways that policymakers assimilate and use scientific evidence in the decision-making process. [1] But it is clear that much more remains to be done, particularly where such evidence is uncertain (as is frequently the case when it is based on modelling).
In particular, we need to focus on the way that the political process handles statistical evidence, given that this is seldom definitive and can often be interpreted in different ways.
For example, the public in countries likely to be affected can be encouraged to accept that the costs of inaction (such as not taking steps to mitigate the impacts of a predicted drought) can far outweigh the costs of taking action that later proves to be unnecessary. But the fact that the costs can fall on different populations complicates matters further.
More research is also needed into the most effective ways of linking warning signals to recommendations for action. Policymakers frequently turn to scientists to ask for guidance when faced with uncertain evidence, and the scientific community has a responsibility to explore and lay out the options — and their implications — even if the final decision must rest in the hands of politicians.
Journalists have a key role to play in all of these processes. One of their tasks is to raise the alarm among policymakers and the public about impending disasters — providing that this is done in a responsible, evidence-based manner.
Another is to find out from scientists and other stakeholders what the policy options are, and ensure that politicians are aware of them. Journalists are also in a good position to monitor whether politicians are taking action, and to expose those who fail to do so.
Each of these tasks requires confidence in reporting on evidence that may lack certainty. But a lack of responsible reporting, or of effective communication about impending disasters, may translate into a lack of mitigating action by politicians, with potentially devastating consequences.

What is this project?
Installing 300 feet of new concrete sidewalk along both sides of Township St. from Gregg Ave. to Green Acres Rd.
What is the current status?
This project is upcoming.
How is this project being funded?
Funding for this project comes from the Street Fund. The Street Fund is financed through two sources:
1) Turn-back revenues from the State of Arkansas. The State collects motor fuel taxes, which are returned to the City on a per-capital basis.
2) Turn-back monies received from the County Road Millage Tax. The City receives 80% of the road millage levied by the Quorum Court on real and personal property located within the city.

Today would have been Hamish's 20th birthday
In many ways today is no different to any other as I miss him every day, but I feel I should do something special so I'm taking Henry for a trip to the beach and tell him all about his amazing "big brother". Hamish lived life at 100mph, even when he was 15. He took every opportunity to do whatever was offered, including kayaking and snowmobiling , and slept when there was nothing better to do. I learnt a lot from his approach to life over the years and take the opportunities, but the saddest thing I learnt was that their time with us is way too short.

To join the chorus, "Thanks, Ovid!" It's good to bring this stuff up earlier rather than later. I'd like to make a particular point about profanity. I, too, have had a pretty liberal upbringing and am very anti-censorship. But censorship is about trying to control someone's thoughts. You don't have to let everyone use your printing press however they like. A lot of us forget that censorship used to mean sedition laws, accusations of Communism, "deviant" sexuality, witchcraft, etc., leading to being outcast, not out of some subculture, but clean into the hinterlands where supporting oneself was impossible, or at least unbearable. Asking someone to reign in the four-letter words is not some freedom-destroying imposition, and neither is it a slippery slope to wholesale tyranny. I hang out on #philosophy on IRC. They have a bot there that kicks you if you use certain profanities. I have never seen anyone booted for any other reason. I was so used to throwing in the occasional cussing that I got kicked a couple of times myself. The bot kicks you, then explains briefly why it did so and what happens if you keep doing it. The discussion can get heated and even harsh, but it is a really superior quality channel that stands out strongly from the general sewage of IRC. It's a cost to me that I have to think and restrain my mode of speech, but the payoff is high. A very simple rule has been shown there to markedly increase civility. Their bot is not constantly being taught new cuss words to weed out; there is no "arms war" between people who want to sling profanity and the overlords of the channel. Not being able to sling mud in the most obvious ways really seems to have successfully weeded out the jerks. I would like to propose that we develop a very simple set of rules, preferably 10 (a traditional number, eh?) or fewer, with no more than 20 "bad words". Probably no automated software would be necessary--often, knowing the rules is enough to get people in a more fruitful, less antagonistic frame of mind. Thanks for the soapbox.

My regular readers can't have missed the fact that I'm raising a tween. Most days, she's pretty darn awesome. Some days she's your average budding hormonal pre-teen. Every day with her is entertaining, and I can safely say I've done more personal questioning and growing in the last nine years than I did in all the years before I became her mother.
One of the agreements my husband and I made early on was that we were always going to be open and as honest as we could be. We were not going to shy away from the tricky topics (like sex). I read Maria's article, 10 Easy Ways to Talk with Your Daughter about Sex, when DD was about three, and I thought, "Yes! We're doing this."
So we've had free and frank talks over the years, giving her facts and separating the fiction. Well, I've done most of the talks – Husband Dear has been conveniently absent from the trickier ones. We also got her Girl to Girl: Real Questions and Honest Answers about Growing Up and I cannot praise it enough. She loves it, and it covers off far more than I would have thought to address.
Nothing could have prepared me for this conversation, though….
DD: Hey, Ma, when did you plan to get pregnant?
Me: Well, you're living proof the Pill doesn't always work, even when you follow the directions.
DD: So you were just having sex for fun?
Me: uhhhhhh……….
DD: Sex strikes me as a sweaty sort of activity, it just doesn't seem like something you'd do for fun.
DD: 1 – Me: 0
And by the time I had gathered my wits, she was on to the next topic. The saints preserve me!
If you're laughing, I highly recommend 'OMG, Where's Her Penis?' by the awesome E. Feel free to share your parenting sex-talk woes in the comments, or leave links to other entertaining posts! I need to know I'm not alone in this…

Martine Syms, film still produced for the cover of Most Days (2014). LP. Mixed Media Recordings, Brooklyn.
The undersigned, being alternately pissed off and bored, need a means of speculation and asserting a different set of values with which to re-imagine the future. In looking for a new framework for black diasporic artistic production, we are temporarily united in the following actions.
***The Mundane Afrofuturists recognize that:***
We did not originate in the cosmos.
The connection between Middle Passage and space travel is tenuous at best.
Out of five hundred thirty-four space travelers, fourteen have been black. An all-black crew is unlikely.
Magic interstellar travel and/or the wondrous communication grid can lead to an illusion of outer space and cyberspace as egalitarian.
This dream of utopia can encourage us to forget that outer space will not save us from injustice and that cyberspace was prefigured upon a "master/slave" relationship.

One silent question hangs suspended over the 33 years I've had psoriasis: Why ... me? Why do I have psoriasis? I can answer other questions quite readily. How long have I had psoriasis? When did it start and where? What can I do to treat it? Who have been instrumental in my journey with psoriasis? But the one question I don't like to ask is why.
Over the years we've learned a great deal about psoriasis. I'm a patient, not a medical professional, so in the pre-Internet days, information came through doctors, well-meaning people, or pamphlets. During those early years I heard a myriad of reasons why I might have psoriasis: allergies to the environment, toxins in my liver or blood, reactions to what I had eaten, such as dairy, wheat, junk food, or pork. Now we've become much more aware of the role of the immune system in psoriasis and how other inflammatory diseases have similar pathology as psoriasis. My dermatologist in the 90s told me of the genetic research and mapping in its genesis. He hoped that in my lifetime those breakthroughs would bear the fruit of a cure. Perhaps today we are closer than I ever imagined to isolating the cause and finding that long awaited cure.
While I feel like I better understand the immunology (at least as much as those pharmaceutical company animations convey) and have a novice grasp of the genetics (well, biology wasn't my best subject in high school), I still wonder why ... me. I believe psoriasis has made me a better person in some ways despite the obvious difficulties. For example, I've become more compassionate toward others with chronic illness or who are suffering in other ways. I value the health I have and want to live life as productively as possible. I've become increasingly more involved in writing and supporting others with psoriasis. Don't get me wrong; I immensely value each of these positive unexpected outcomes of living with psoriasis. Yet, I can't accept that the reason I have psoriasis is to help others. A side benefit, yes. But that can't be the reason.
Not knowing can drive me to temporary insanity. If I could know the reason, then maybe I could cope with it better. If I had contracted lung cancer, and had been a smoker my whole life, I could point to that as the cause. It wouldn't make the condition any better, but at least I would have some concept of where it came from. The fact that was potentially passed down from my dad and/or mom (or some ancestor further up the family tree I could never trace), and some environmental factor may have triggered the initial outbreak, brings little solace. I still ask: Could I have done something to stop the psoriasis from breaking out? Did fate roll the dice, and psoriasis fell on me by chance? Did some higher power allow this to happen to me?
In the end I really don't know why I have psoriasis. It's a natural question to ask that I shelve for another, then another, day. Until someone asks me about it, or until I sustain a massive flare and cry out — or until I have a quiet moment to ponder living another 33 years with my capricious skin-disease companion. Then I'm faced with the unknowable questions.
I've come to accept that I do have psoriasis, and that the way forward is to continue doing what I can to cope with and manage it. I look for others who can walk with me (and I with them), because I know those times will come when it gets tiring daily walking up the hill of a chronic condition. I stay educated. And I continue to bring meaning to the experience by blogging, tweeting, and sharing about my journey.
The answer to my question may not come in this lifetime, though the questions will no doubt cross my consciousness from time to time as they have over the decades. Why do I have psoriasis? Until next time, I'm going to put that question in a container, place it back on the shelf, and get on with my day's business.

Sony's new premium service for the PlayStation 3 offers discounted and free games and other game-related treats, but is PlayStation Plus actually worth forking over $50 per year?
I've checked it out and the short answer I've arrived at is: Not yet.
PS3 owners can now purchase PlayStation Plus through the online PlayStation Store as either a one-year subscription for $49.99 or a three-month subscription for $17.99. (For a limited time, Sony is offering an extra three months free to those who pony up for the one-year subscription).
Right now, Plus mostly operates as a big coupon. That is, membership gets subscribers some pretty sweet discounts on various gaming items in the PlayStation Store. But the problem is, like most coupons, you may not really want or need the items that are discounted.
Each month, subscribers are given a selection of PlayStation Network, PS One Classic and PSP Mini games to download from the PSN Store for free. You will be able to download these games only during the month they are available. A new month means new selections replace them.
Additionally, each month subscribers will be able to download a selection of game add-ons, themes and avatars either for free or at a discount. Members will have access to various hour-long free game trials as well.
What does that mean here in Month One of PlayStation Plus? It means you get PSN game "Wipeout HD" for free (which costs everyone else $19.99), you get the PS One game "Rally Cross" for free (others pay $5.99) and you get the PSP Mini game "Age of Zombies" for free ($4.99 for everyone else).
Meanwhile, subscribers will pay $3.99 rather than $4.99 for the "Fat Princess: Fat Roles" add-on and you can download games like "Cuboid" and "Hamster Ball" for $7.99 rather than $9.99. Most interestingly, perhaps, subscribers get an hour-long free trial of the full game "inFamous." (Check out the complete list of this month's Plus benefits here.)
If you happen to want these items, then by all means, PlayStation Plus is something you should purchase right now. If "Wipeout HD," for example, has been on your list of games to buy, then the $20 savings on this game alone pays for a three-month subscription to Plus. And let me say that I am a fan of "inFamous" and think that if you haven't tried this game, you definitely should.
But here's the thing ... "Wipeout HD" has been around since 2008. And "inFamous" launched more than a year ago. Meanwhile, "Age of Zombies" is so dreadful I can't even recommend playing it for free. What I'm saying is: I'm surprised that Sony didn't launch PlayStation Plus with a killer app of some sort — that is, offer up a top-notch new PSN game for free for example, or provide a free trial to a game that just arrived in stores (i.e. a game players are dying to check out right now).
I will say that what's nice about the full-game trials available through Plus is that if you decide to buy the full game after trying it, all of your progress and trophies will be saved and you can pick up right where you left off.
But be careful, because once you start your one-hour trial, you really do only have one hour. There's no pausing your game for dinner, for example. It seems an odd choice on Sony's part since nearly the entire casual gaming industry has had great success offering would-be buyers one free hour of true game-play. Apparently they realize that people need to take food breaks, phone breaks and pee breaks when they're gaming.
The other big catch with the Plus service is this: You can only access the games you've downloaded for free (games like "Rally Cross" and "Wipeout HD") as long as you remain a Plus subscriber. End your subscription and, poof, your games are no longer playable. Though if you do re-up your subscription, you'll get your access to those games back.
The other bit of bad news: PlayStation Plus does not give online players the cross-game chat they've been asking for.
"Cross-game voice chat is a feature we know our passionate user base has asked for and we'll continue to look at as a viable offering for the PlayStation Network," Susan Panico, Senior Director of the PlayStation Network, wrote on the PlayStation blog.
Meanwhile, many PlayStation 3 owners have expressed concerns that the arrival of Plus will be the end of free access to the PlayStation Network and its services (something Sony has long touted as a boon of its online service over Microsoft's Xbox Live service).
"The current PSN features will remain free," Panico assured everyone. "We are still very committed to PSN as a free comprehensive entertainment service and are certainly not planning on reducing this service following the launch of PlayStation Plus."
For right now, PlayStation Plus is basically a coupon booklet that's only worth purchasing if you happen to be jonesing for the items currently offered within. I suspect, however, the service will soon become far more tempting. Sony has promised to give Plus members exclusive access to beta game tests and to let them buy some games before everyone else. Access to a hot game beta could be very compelling indeed and it will be interesting to see what other services Sony provides exclusively its Plus members.
After all, "PlayStation Plus is a continually evolving service," Panicio promises.
Speaking of evolving ... one thing that might convince PS3 owners to pony up for PlayStation Plus is the forthcoming Hulu Plus service — which will be available on PS3s and Xbox 360s in the coming months. Though Sony has not confirmed or denied this, it now seems likelythat PS3 owners will need a PlayStation Plus membership to access Hulu's TV-on-demand service (which will itself cost $9.99 a month).
If the competition's any indication, it's worth noting Microsoft has said it will require Xbox 360 owners to have an Xbox Live Gold membership if they want to access Hulu Plus when it launches on the console in early 2011. Xbox Live Gold runs $49.99 a year as well.

The First-Floor Girls' Toilets[2] were a lavatory located on the first floor of Hogwarts Castle. It was in this lavatory that Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley saved Hermione Granger from a mountain troll, marking the beginning of their friendship.
After a Charms class in the morning of 31 October, 1991, Ron, angry at Hermione for lecturing him on the proper pronunciation of Wingardium Leviosa, insulted her behind her back. Hermione, still in earshot, became upset and headed to this lavatory to cry. She remained in the bathroom all that day.
Later that night, Quirinus Quirrell let a mountain troll into Hogwarts Castle, hoping to create a diversion long enough for him to steal the Philosopher's Stone. The troll eventually made its way from the dungeons up to the first floor, heading into this bathroom. Harry and Ron, who had been looking for Hermione to warn her about the troll, locked it inside before realising the room was the same bathroom Hermione was in.
Unlocking the door and running into the room, Harry and Ron found the troll approaching Hermione, destroying the sinks along the wall as it walked. Harry managed to successfully distract the troll by jumping on its back and shoving his wand up the troll's nose. Thinking quickly, Ron then proceeded to knock out the troll by using the previously mastered Levitation Charm to hit it in the head with its own club.
The commotion caused by this altercation caused several staff members, including Minerva McGonagall, to discover what had happened. After some consideration, the three ended up gaining a net increase of five house points for their adventure, and were sent back to their common room. The lavatory was presumably repaired afterward.

James Voorhies is the Director and Chief Curator of Bureau for Open Culture (BOC). BOC operates through exhibitions, screenings, performances, and informal discussions that happen in and outside of the gallery space. Working with a variety of collaborators, Voorhies has sought to question the role of institutions in the dissemination of various art practices. I got to know Voorhies when we collaborated on the BOC's The New Administration of a Fine Arts Education, a conversation series with leading individuals of contemporary art that took place at the Columbus College of Art and Design in Ohio. This spring and summer, BOC will present two projects. Seventh Dream of Teenage Heaven, from April 5-29th at Bennington College, and I Am Searching for Field Character, presented at Mass MoCA this summer. Incorporating a series of public conversations, performances, installations, workshops and a beer garden, BOC will be bringing artists, writers, designers and thinkers to North Adams, Massachusetts to explore the economic and social character of the cultural laborer. I took this opportunity to talk to him about BOC and his hopes for the future of his organization.
How would you describe the mission of Bureau for Open Culture?
The mission is to reconsider the art exhibition as a new kind of learning site. We don't necessarily prioritize the gallery as a site for engaging with art or seek to provide an absolute conclusion to the ideas exhibitions raise. To do this, BOC welcomes people from disciplines outside of the usual visual arts⎯landscape architecture, literature, philosophy, design and activism⎯to intermingle. We produce projects that take place in storefronts, gardens, libraries and unused industrial spaces within a wider consideration of the nature of contemporary art and culture.
The exhibitions are made with an awareness of the effect that an art institution⎯as a physical space and a concept⎯has on how art is produced and how people experience it. A lot of my interests in the structural behavior of the art institution come out of watching organizations like Office of Contemporary Art Norway, Shedhalle in Zurich and IASPIS in Stockholm. These are institutions of critique that have taken up the kind investigations of institutions found in artistic practices like those of Michael Asher, Hans Haacke and Andrea Fraser. These institutions were not long ago categorized loosely within a term called "New Institutionalism." But, I don't think that term is used so much today.
Using alternative spaces, Bureau for Open Culture tends to mediate more strongly or maybe less didactically between visitors and art. Moving the action out of the gallery is one way we do this, but I also care about what viewers will get out of a connection with a visiting artist or a talk. For example, the collective artist Claire Fontaine participated in the exhibition Descent to Revolution. Part of their contribution to the exhibition was to give a talk related to Lyotard's Libidinal Economy. I organized a weekly reading group for Lyotard's book with about 10 to 12 participants who discussed the book, which is really difficult to grasp, alongside images of work by Claire Fontaine. We had participants from all sorts of backgrounds⎯students of philosophy and comparative studies, activists and visual artists. We did this over the course of five to six weeks in a kind of preparation for Claire Fontaine's visit to Columbus. While we did not devour the book as much as one could, the reading group created an investment and interest in Claire Fontaine. We had an incredible turnout for their talk, a great conversation. The talk took place in an unused storefront space where other projects and actions were occurring during the course of the exhibition. It was late October and the rundown space with its leaking ceiling and lack of heat helped reduce the formal effect of the institution to put audience and artists on closer levels. I really liked the whole experience.
There are also lots of private moments between visiting artists and the community. Those moments, to me, are as important as the public engagement. So, all of this combined is what I mean by rethinking the exhibition as a new kind of learning site.

Among the legendary rivalries in auto racing, they don't get much bigger or more venomous than what Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost generated in the Eighties and early Nineties.
RACER's series on Great Rivalries continues with one of the most memorable head-to-heads in Formula 1 history, with renowned F1 reporter Mark analyzing the similarities and differences between the Brazilian and Frenchman, and how each driver's weaknesses were exaggerated by the other's strengths:
Four races into Ayrton Senna's F1 career and he was already proving a mighty inconvenience for Alain Prost. Senna was in the mid-grid, unrated Toleman; on Prost's side was the cutting edge of mighty McLaren, its mega-bucks Marlboro backing, its bespoke TAG turbo V6 tailor-made by Porsche to aero-enhancing dimensions set out by the car's creator John Barnard and with trick electronics two steps ahead of anyone else's, allowing it more race day horsepower than any other. But it was raining and the course was Monaco, so there was room for improvisation and genius to make a difference. Prost might have imagined that he had those qualities covered too, as he circulated at the front, having glided up there in that inimitable and apparently inevitable fashion once the five-lap heroes were spent. But if Prost had been able to see anything in his mirrors amid the spray, he'd have seen a speck, an irritating speck getting bigger.
Up until this point, Prost's race at Monaco '84 – his whole career, in fact – had been progressing beautifully. Everything was planned. "There are drivers who think a lap ahead, or a race ahead or even a season ahead," asserted Mike Knight, co-proprietor of the Winfield Racing School which Prost, already a successful karter, attended in 1975. "But Alain, even in the junior formulae, was thinking a whole career ahead. He applied so much thought and so much guile."
Guile: on the day of the competition to decide who won the Volant Elf Award that would launch Prost on his way, he'd arrived hours early to watch the heats of the others. He wasn't so much tracking his rivals as trying to observe if any one car looked better than the others – so that he could choose that one when it was his turn. That guile was regularly called upon during his rapid rise through the junior categories; he'd completed four years of car racing when McLaren signed him for Formula 1 in 1980.
He took part in a shootout test for the drive, up against Formula Atlantic star Kevin Cogan. Prost got his stint first, lapped Paul Ricard faster than incumbent driver John Watson had ever done, then – out of sight of the pits – subtly flat-spotted the tires on his in-lap. Cogan headed out of the pits with the same set of tires, but would complain of a severe vibration and got nowhere near Prost's time… (continued)

Dir: Michael J. Bassett. US. 2012. 94mins
A cheap, clunky sequel to 2006's videogame adaptation Silent Hill, this programmatic follow-up goes through all the genre motions with the passion, commitment and attention to detail of a teenager cycling through a laundry list of mandated chores prior to an evening out. A frenzied and narratively muddled cash-grab that disimproves upon its predecessor in every imaginable way, this uninspired effort may represent the theatrical release death knell for the franchise.
Australian-born Clemens is the movie's sole bright spot.
Facing a buzzsaw of theatrical genre competition in the form of Sinister and Paranormal Activity 4, and with little to attract those outside of the videogame series' most ardent fans (the movie did not screen for critics in advance of its Friday opening in the US), revenue should lean heavily on ancillary income and foreign markets, the latter of which accounted for 52 percent of the original movie's $98 million box office haul.
Years after the events of Silent Hill, which saw her rescued by her mother Rose (Radha Mitchell), Heather (Adelaide Clemens) settles down into yet another new town with her father Harry (Sean Bean). They're constantly on the move, for reasons she thinks are related to a self-defense homicide on the part of her father, but on the eve of her 18th birthday, Heather discovers the true source of the horrific nightmares that plague her.
Cursed by a demonic child to a perpetual gloom and darkness populated with monsters, the remaining residents of a West Virginia mining town have coalesced into the Order of the Valtiel, and they believe only Heather's presence (and sacrifice, it's intuited) can break their spell and set them free. With help from Vincent (Kit Harington), a fellow new kid at school, Heather travels to Silent Hill to try to save her kidnapped father.
As with the first movie, its grungy, effective set design is amongst Revelation's strongest selling points. Particularly as it wears on, the lighting, colour and textures reflect a haunted carnival hellscape, with ash-ridden skies. A creepy sequence in a warehouse full of mannequin parts is probably the movie's best scene, giving way to an attack by a spider comprised of the same.
Absent the presences of originating writer Roger Avary and director Christophe Gans, though, Revelation feels an infinitely more clubby and insular affair than its predecessor (co-producer Laurent Hadida even takes a strange "adapted by" credit), desultory and dependent on a rabid and uncritical emotional investment rooted in the source material. Whereas the first film blended fever-dream style with a somewhat pragmatic and certainly more relatable storyline, the plotting here feels frequently arbitrary — a collection of characters from the first movie and some monsters from the game series, strung together in risible fashion by chunks of clunky exposition.
Writer-director Michael J. Bassett never establishes a fully fleshed-out outside world, or links between these "layers of realities" that characters prattle on about (a silly physical knick-knack, the Seal of Metatron, which links Heather to the Valtiel and central demon, is used subjectively, and doesn't work).
When not contradicting its own logic (its assertion that Heather enter Silent Hill of her own free will stands in direct contrast to a flashback assault), most scenes are rotely imagined, insipidly staged, or both. The few that are not — the aforementioned spider sequence and a surreal bit with some faceless, cleaver-wielding nurses — feel untethered to the main story.
Carrie-Anne Moss gives off a suitably chilly vibe in her brief appearance as a villainess, but Malcolm McDowell hams it up in a scene as imprisoned asylum patient.
Australian-born Clemens is the movie's sole bright spot. She's a good match for Mitchell, the star of the first film who only cameos here, even though Clemens plays her adopted daughter. With her short blonde hair and sympathetic visage, she resembles a cross between Michelle Williams and Carey Mulligan, exuding an ever-present vulnerability that stands head and shoulders above this claptrap.
Apart from a small handful of shots involving forced perspective and weapons thrust toward the screen, the movie's 3-D presentation is inessential, and a plot to squeeze out a few more dollars from fans.
