The Accounting Historians Journal Vol. 16, No. 1 June 1989 Esteban Hernández Esteve BANCO DE ESPAÑA THE LIFE OF BARTOLOMÉ SALVADOR DE SOLÓRZANO: SOME FURTHER EVIDENCE Abstract: Until very recently almost nothing was known about the life of Bartolomé Salvador de Solórzano, the author of the first Spanish treatise on double-entry bookkeeping. This paper presents the results of further research on this subject and complements the findings presented in a previous paper by Hernández Esteve. A more complete picture of the life of Bartolomé Salvador de Solór-zano can now be drawn. On the whole there is now evidence regarding aspects such as birth, baptism, parents, godparents, relatives, profession, business, residence, condition, travels, partners, death, etc. Some details on the publication and distribu-tion of his book also are known. Despite his important contribution to Spanish culture and business, until recently very little was known about the life of Bartolomé Salvador de Solórzano, the first Spaniard to write a treatise on double-entry bookkeeping. The treatise appeared well after — 96 years after — the publication of Pacioli's Summa de arithmetica, geometria, proportioni e proportionalità. Nevertheless, in terms of the depth, coherence and exactitude with which he treated his subject, the work of Bartolomé Salvador is one of the most important contributions to the field in the whole of the sixteenth century. Indeed, it was Henry Lapeyre's opinion [1955, p. 345] that the treatise, Libro de caxa y Manual de cuentas de Mercaderes y otras personas con la declara-ción dellos, compared favorably with the best Eurpoean works on the subject published during the period 1494 to 1590, the year of the treatise's own publication. EARLY EVIDENCE It is known for certain that Bartolomé Salvador was born in Medina de Rioseco, an old Castilian town that was the site of one This paper is dedicated to Francisco Javier Luna Luque, one of the first to study the work of Bartolomé Salvador de Solórzano and to his distinguished wife who shares his enthusiasm for research into accounting history.

The U.S. series "Prison Break," a huge primetime hit for Gallic web M6, is at the center of a brouhaha in Gaul.
Season one began airing Aug. 31 and was soon drawing record audiences for France's second commercial channel.
But at the beginning of November, days before the 22-episode season ended, M6 received a terse letter from broadcasting watchdog the Conseil Superieur de l'Audiovisuel, complaining that some episodes were too violent for its "not for under 10s" rating, displayed during the program.
Under Gallic regs, a "not for under 12s" rating would relegate the show to after 10 p.m., while a "not for under 16" rating — for programs with pornographic or extremely violent content — would mean a slot after 10:30 p.m.
M6 went ahead and screened the final episode, along with episode one of season two, on Nov. 8 — notching up an audience of 7 million viewers, the fourth biggest aud for the web since it launched 20 years ago.
M6 has defended its choice of rating to the CSA; a CSA working group will examine the web's arguments Wednesday ahead of a plenary session of the CSA council, which will have the final word on Nov. 28.
But that decision will concern only the already-broadcast first season — not season two, which the authority has not seen and M6 has still to air.
M6 has made no comment on the CSA's move, but, privately, execs called the situation "absurd."
"If they stick to their guns, France will be the only country where 'Prison Break' is not allowed to air in primetime," said one, pointing out that it airs in primetime in U.S., Sweden, Canada, Spain and the Netherlands.
A spokesman for the CSA said Tuesday that, unlike films, which are classified by a national board, broadcasters decide for themselves what ratings to attach to violent or sexually explicit TV programs, but the CSA can intervene if it feels they are being too lenient.
There are no specific guidelines, the spokesman said, and no quantitative criteria, such as the number of times a swear word is used, as in the U.K.

Back with LA, Hanley in cast for three weeks
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Injured Dodgers shortstop Hanley Ramirez returned to Camelback Ranch on Saturday, one day after undergoing surgery to repair a torn right thumb ligament. He was given permission to spend a few days at his Miami home before rejoining the club and rehabbing in earnest.
Manager Don Mattingly said that the Dodgers' medical department believes Ramirez will be able to "do some things" baseball-wise even with his thumb in its current cast.
Ramirez is expected to wear the cast for three weeks before he can start range of motion and baseball activities. Mattingly indicated that Ramirez would still be able to field ground balls and receive throws while working on his footwork at shortstop.
As for replacements, Saturday night's lineup had Luis Cruz at shortstop and Juan Uribe at third base. Mattingly would not commit to this being his Opening Day lineup against the Giants and starter Matt Cain.
But if Cruz is indeed Mattingly's starting shortstop, the matchups for third base against Cain are: Uribe is 0-for-2 with two strikeouts, Nick Punto has not faced the righty and Jerry Hairston is 4-for-14.

Girl key player for Toms River Little League team
TOMS RIVER, N.J. — As the only female on the 13-player Toms River Little League All-Stars, Kayla Roncin has become a star in her own right. Her team is climbing toward a possible Little League World Series berth and the media attention is turning toward the tall 12-year-old. The athlete with the long brunette ponytail is a powerhouse in a sport usually considered a boys-only club.
"There's always going to be somebody who says something about it, but you just gotta keep playing," Kayla said.
Her coaches say Kayla has ignored the snickers and smirks of opposing teams as she has taken the field, where she quickly proves her skill and silences any initial critics.
"You always get the whispers and the stares and the pointing, but once the game starts, it doesn't become a novelty anymore once they see she can play," said Pete Avallone, the team's manager.
She can pitch and she has speed on the bases. Kayla's a core player for a team that is 2-0 in the Mid-Atlantic Regional heading into Tuesday's game against Maryland in Bristol, Conn.
Kayla has spent more than half her life playing baseball; she started with T-ball at age 5, said her father and assistant coach Ray Roncin. Since she was 8, Kayla has played for teams coached by Avallone.
Teammate Nick DeRose believes Kayla is treated no differently by opposing pitchers than other boys on the All-Stars.
"I just think, maybe they try not to hit her, maybe?" he said.
Teammate Jonathan Giordano added: "I know that if I gave up a hit to a girl, it would be embarrassing."
Kayla needs no encouragement to stay and play on the traditionally boys' team, said Ray Roncin. "She's strong-minded. She likes the competition." Any comment about her gender "makes her step up her game up even more. I really don't have to guide her at all, because she does it all on her own."
Kayla is not the only girl to play Little League in Toms River, but the first he has known to advance so far with such skill, Avallone said. She is 3-for-3 in the first two games of the regional.
Kayla's passion for baseball started while watching a Yankees game with her father.
"It looked like a lot of fun to play, so I wanted to start," Kayla said.
She said she has faced no pressure for being one of the only female players in a mostly male sport. Kayla also plays girls basketball and softball, and said she notices no differences in playing on girls' or boys' teams.
According to the website About.com, 12 girls have played in the Little League World Series, the first in 1984.
Though more girls are trying Little League, college and professional baseball teams are still a men-only sport. The last women's professional baseball league disbanded in 1954.
In time, Kayla's coaches believe that she will leave baseball and move onto a women's softball team. So far, softball has not excited her like the competition she experiences on the All-Stars, Ray Roncin said.
She turns 13 in October and starts seventh grade this fall. Though she is one of the tallest players on the team at 5-9, the advantage will not last much longer, her father said.
"She's going to eventually plateau out, and the boys are going to get bigger and stronger. I just think with the locker room situation, general scenario, I don't think she'll ever play at a college level," Ray Roncin said. "I just don't think as she gets older, there will be a place for her on a boys baseball team."
Kayla has accepted this, said her father. For now, she is just focused on winning in her time left to play for the All-Stars, he said.
"To me, she's the most inspirational and courageous kid I've ever been around ... to be the only girl at this high level that we're playing right now," said Avallone. "I'm sure there have been some rough times for her ... (but) she's kept her head straight and played some great baseball."

Nov. 16, 2007
Lipscomb's Lady Bisons chose the right time to get their first victory ever on court against the Belmont Bruins in volleyball.
The record books show that Belmont held a 23-1 advantage in match wins with the Lady Bisons. But that lone win in 1994 was actually the result of a forfeit by Belmont.
"I didn't know until this year that the only win we had against them was by a forfeit," said Lipscomb coach Brandon Rosenthal. "I told our players I felt this was our day. We walked out of the locker room as one."
Friday night at the University Center no one was going to forfeit. The Lady Bisons and Belmont battled toe-to-toe for five games in the semifinals of the Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament. The tournament is hosted by Mercer University in Macon, Ga.
This is the third time the Lady Bisons have competed in the A-Sun Tournament, but the first time they have reached the finals.
When it was all over the Lady Bisons, the No.4 seed, beat Belmont, the No. 1 seed, 3-2. The Lady Bisons had lost 3-1 at Belmont during the regular season.
"We knew it was going to be a battle," said Rosenthal. "We talked to our players before we came out on the court. We told them it was to take all 14 of them to win. What an absolutely wonderful team Belmont has."
The Lady Bisons meet No. 3-seed Jacksonville Saturday at noon for the A-Sun Championship. The winner receives the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
This is the first time since 1992 that neither one of the top two seeds advanced to the championship game. Ironically, the last time a No. 4 seed won the championship was in 2004 when Jacksonville won.
The Lady Bisons lost game one 30-28, won game two 30-24 and then lost game three 30-28. In game four the Lady Bisons dominated finishing with a 30-19 win. The Lady Bisons won game five 15-13.
"We felt like getting out to an early lead was important," Rosenthal said. "I was a little surprised we were able to do that in almost every game.
"Belmont usually doesn't have to play from behind a whole lot. If they did we knew it would be one of those things that would throw them off of their game."
Serving was a key for the Lady Bisons who had 15 service aces. Senior middle blocker Alex Scruggs and sophomore opposite Kaley Mohr each had five service aces. Mohr's performance was a career-high. Scruggs tied her career-high, previously set Oct. 24 in 2006 against Tennessee-Martin.
"I can't say enough about Kaley," Rosenthal said. "In the toughest of situations she came in and served bullets time in and time out.
"She's a player who didn't have a whole lot of playing time throughout the year. She could have easily given up. But this team has so much heart."
Rosenthal stressed improved serving because he felt that was one of the weak points for the Lady Bisons in the regular season loss to Belmont.
"We didn't serve tough enough against them in the previous match," Rosenthal said. "Kaley has a different serve than Alex. They both served well, but wanted to mix it up."
Junior outside hitter Sarah Snider led the Lady Bisons with 22 kills. Middle blocker Alex Kelly made 15 and senior outside hitter Jessica Enderle finished with 13 and a .500 hitting percentage. Snider finished with a double-double with 15 digs.
"Jessica didn't play against Mercer," Rosenthal said. "We needed a little bit of passing against Belmont and Jessica brought that to the table. She just did an unbelievable job. She was another senior who stepped up at a moment when we needed it."
Snider made five kills in game four. She made a match-high 64 total attacks. She played in more control than she did in the regular season loss at Belmont.
"We had a long talk about what she had to do in big games," Rosenthal said. "The game at Belmont kind of got away from her and she will admit that.
"She is a very experienced player, and a great player, but at the same time she is human. She has to learn from her mistakes as well."
Libero Ann Mullins was credited with 22 digs, tying Belmont's Megan Clements for the match-high.
Setter Stefine Pease made 55 assists and posted a .389 hitting percentage.
Belmont's Cat Mundy made a match-high 31 kills, tying a conference tournament record.
Jacksonville, 19-12, advanced to the title game earlier in the evening with a 3-1 win against ETSU. This is the third time in the last four years that Jacksonville has advanced to the tournament championship game.
"Jacksonville is very tall and very talented," Rosenthal said. "It will another hard-fought match.
"A lot of it has to do with us controlling our emotions and really stepping up to the plate. This match is over. Saturday is another day."
The Lady Bisons, 4-2 on neutral courts this season, won 3-1 at Jacksonville during the regular season.
"Whatever happens we have to lay it all on the line," Rosenthal said. "Win or lose, if we can say we left it all out there, then that's it."
Despite playing the late game, Rosenthal does not expect fatigue to be a factor for his team. This is their third match in as many days. They swept host Mercer, the No.5 seed, 3-0 Thursday night.
"Our players are well-conditioned," Rosenthal said. "We have been in training all season for this. This is what it's all about. Our players are ready to go.
The Lady Bisons are 19-11. Belmont fell to 20-8.

Nearly one in five Britons planning to retire this year will have outstanding debts, amounting to £31,200 on average, an insurer has found.
However, the typical amount of money owed has dropped compared with a year ago as more people retire mortgage-free, Prudential said.
The average amount owed by someone planning to retire last year was almost a fifth higher, at £38,200, while the share of people retiring in debt has held steady compared with 2012, at 18%.
People in Wales planning to retire this year are the most likely to be in debt, with 26% still owing money, while just 13% of those in Yorkshire and Humberside expect to take debts into retirement.
On average, retirees with debts expect it will take just under four years to clear the money they owe - but more than one in 10 (12%) believe they will never be debt-free.
Prudential said that 43% of people retiring in debt this year will owe money on their mortgages, compared with 50% a year ago.
Rock bottom interest rates have helped many mortgage holders pay off their loans more quickly than they had expected and the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) estimates that one third of mortgages taken out since 2005 have been overpaid.
However, Prudential said it had seen a shift towards retirees having outstanding non-mortgage debts.
Almost a fifth (19%) of people retiring in debt in 2013 will owe money on overdrafts - showing a sharp increase from 13% last year.
Meanwhile 56% of those who will owe money on retirement this year have credit card debts, creeping up from 51% in 2012.
The findings also come at a time when annuity rates, which set the size of someone's retirement income for life, have plunged.
Prudential said earlier this month that this year's retirees expect to have a typical annual income of �15,300, making them around £3,400 a year worse off than workers who retired in 2008.
Vince Smith-Hughes, Prudential's retirement income expert, said: "The fall in average debt owed by this year's retirees is a welcome sign that people are paying off some of the money they owe before they stop working.
"Debt does not have to be a major issue for people in retirement as long as they have sufficient income, and realistic and manageable repayment programmes in place."
More than 1,000 people who plan to retire this year took part in the research.
The proportion of those retiring this year with debts outstanding, by region:
Wales, 26%.
West Midlands, 22%.
Eastern, 21%.
South West, 21%.
London, 20%.
South East, 20%.
North East, 18%.
East Midlands, 15%.
North West, 15%.
Scotland, 15%.
Yorkshire and Humberside, 13%.
Average, 18%.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Federal Agency Identifies Internet Fraud Being Perpetrated Against Employers
WASHINGTON - The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) late today notified the business community and general public to a "phishing" e-mail circulating to companies that purports to be from the federal agency regarding a harassment complaint. The bogus e-mail contains a Trojan Horse Virus that is likely to harm a recipient's computer if the user clicks on the referenced web link and/or downloads the attached file.
The phony e-mail to employers -- being circulated under the subject "Harassment Complaint Update For"-- contains links where the respondent can allegedly access details of a fake discrimination claim. The EEOC has reported the issue to appropriate authorities.
The EEOC's policy is to notify an employer of the filing of a charge of employment discrimination using the U.S. Postal System. Because of security concerns, the EEOC does not notify employers of the filing of a charge of discrimination via e-mail. Consequently, if a company receives an e-mail notification which purports to advise the respondent of the filing of a charge of employment discrimination with the EEOC, the federal agency urges users to delete it immediately.
The contents of the phishing e-mail include an EEOC logo under the subject line and contain purported language from the EEOC under a subject heading, "Employer Liability for Harassment." Excerpts of the phishing e-mail are highlighted below:
FROM: Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
SUBJECT: "Harassment Complaint Update For"
This is an automated email that confirms the registration of harassment complaint #number...this harassment complaint can lead to law enforcement action. You can download and print a copy of this complaint to keep for your personal records here...Our staff will keep you updated regarding the status of our investigation...To check the status of your complaint access:
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its official web site at www.eeoc.gov.

No surprise: Nugent-Hopkins goes No. 1 to Oilers
(L-R) Third overall pick Jonathan Huberdeau of the Florida Panthers, first overall pick Ryan Nugent-Hopkins of the Edmonton Oilers and second overall pick Gabriel Landeskog of the Colorado Avalanche pose for a photo during day one of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft at Xcel Energy Center on June 24, 2011 in St Paul, Minnesota.

ST. PAUL, Minnesota — The Edmonton Oilers chose to stay close to home with the opening selection at the National Hockey League entry draft Friday night at Xcel Energy Center.
Edmonton went with Red Deer Rebel centre Ryan Nugent-Hopkins — the consensus top pick. Nugent-Hopkins had 31 goals, 106 points and was a plus-30 rating in 69 games for Red Deer this season. He added another four goals, 11 points and was a plus-5 in nine playoff games.
"It's amazing. It's a dream come true to be honoured like this. I always watched Edmonton this year and it's just amazing that I got picked there," Nugent-Hopkins told TSN after being selected.
The Oiler prospect is considered a complete package with a great feel for the game.
It marked the second straight year the Oilers had the first overall pick. Last year Edmonton grabbed forward Taylor Hall from the Windsor Spitfires.
Nugent-Hopkins said he's excited about the possibility of playing with Hall.
"It would definitely be awesome. I met Taylor earlier in the day and it was great to finally meet him," he said.
Nugent-Hopkins was ranked first in Central Scouting's North American list of skaters.
There had been some debate whether the Oilers would address their blue-line instead and take Swedish defenceman Adam Larsson instead. Larsson entered the draft as Central Scouting's top international prospect.
Colorado picked second, and selected Swedish forward Gabriel Landeskog, who was captain of the Ontario Hockey League's Kitchener Rangers.
Landeskog is described as being the most physically ready, and charismatic, prospect in the draft. He had 36 goals and 66 points in 53 games with Kitchener this season.
Landeskog's favourite player growing up was former Avalanche legend Peter Forsberg. The fit, he said, is perfect.
"It means a lot (going to Colorado)," Landeskog told TSN. "It was a big dream (of mine). I'm very happy."
Jonathan Huberdeau of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League's Saint John Sea Dogs was picked third by the Florida Panthers.
Huberdeau, a centre, came into the draft as a Memorial Cup winner, tournament MVP and a reputation as an offensive force.
The prevailing thought is Huberdeau will remain in junior hockey next season.
"I will work out hard and do my best to make the NHL," Huberdeau said.
The defensively sound New Jersey Devils — not surprisingly — took Larsson with the fourth selection. He played last season in the Swedish Elite League and was the youngest skater on Skelleftea.
Larsson is rich with skill and size — he is six-foot-three and 200 pounds.
The New York Islanders, with pick No. 5, selected centre Ryan Strome of the OHL's Niagara IceDogs. Strome had 33 goals and 106 points for the IceDogs this past season.
Strome is a noted playmaker.
"I love the colours and I think I'll fit in great there," Strome told TSN. "I work out with (Islanders) John Tavares and Matt Moulson in Mississauga . . . and I couldn't be happier right now."
With the sixth selection, the Ottawa Senators grabbed Swedish centre Mika Zibanejad of Djurgarden. An all-around talent, Zibanejad is eventually expected to fill the Senators need for a second-line centre behind Jason Spezza.
"I'm really excited about it," said Zibanejad.
"We've got a big guy here who can skate and handle the puck," Senator GM Bryan Murray added.
A large contingent of Winnipeg Jet fans made the trek to Minnesota for the draft and rose to greet the reborn franchise's first pick. Winnipeg — with GM Kevin Cheveldayoff at the podium — took centre Mark Scheifele of the OHL's Barrie Colts with the seventh selection.
Scheifele rose quickly in the rankings after a strong, 75-point season with the Colts.
"I've gone so far since last year. I've worked so hard to get here," he told TSN. "I'm really excited to go to Winnipeg and it's a great hockey town."
Scheifele's coach in Barrie is former Jets star Dale Hawerchuk.
The fourth centre in a row was taken at No. 8 — Sean Couturier from the QMJHL's Drummondville Voltigeurs was selected by Philadelphia.
With pick No. 9, the Stanley Cup champion Boston Bruins closed the book on the Phil Kessel trade with Toronto. The Bruins, with the Leafs' pick, took all-around defenceman Dougie Hamilton from the IceDogs.
The hometown Minnesota Wild, picking 10th, chose Swedish blue-liner Jonas Brodin — known as a puck-moving defenceman. Brodin won a Swedish Elite League title this winter with Farjestad.
With the 11th pick, Colorado was back at the podium taking physical Duncan Siemens of the WHL's Saskatoon Blades. Siemens was considered the toughest blue-line prospect available.
The Avalanche acquired the pick from St. Louis in a mid-season deal.
Carolina selected defenceman Ryan Murphy of the Kitchener Rangers with the 12th overall pick. Murphy was recognized as the best offensive defender available.
The next Canadian team up to the podium was Calgary. With the 13th pick, the Flames bolstered their forward troops with Portland Winterhawk left-winger Sven Bartschi. The Swiss-born player potted 34 goals and 85 points with the WHL club. Bartschi becomes the second-highest Swiss skater picked — Nino Niederreiter was taken fifth overall by the Islanders in last year's draft.
Flames GM Jay Feaster said Bartschi becomes an important building block for a team in need of developing players.
"We have to start to bring good, young skilled players into the organization and then getting them ready and to the National Hockey League as soon as we can," Feaster said to TSN. "Certainly we feel we've started down that path with this first selection."
Defenceman Jamieson Oleksiak was taken 14th overall by the Dallas Stars. Oleksiak stands six-foot-seven and weighs in at 244 pounds.
The New York Rangers brought Aaron Boogaard to the stage as a tribute to his brother Derek, who died this spring suddenly at the age of 28. Derek was enormously popular in his years in Minnesota with the Wild.
With the 15th selection, New York chose winger J.T. Miller of the U.S. under-18 club.
Buffalo followed at No. 16 and selected winger Joel Armia of the Finnish Elite League.
The Montreal Canadiens stepped up next and picked defenceman Nathan Beaulieu — an offensive wizard who picked up 12 goals and 45 points with Saint John last season. Beaulieu also made the Memorial Cup all-star team.
"He's and excellent skating defenceman. We had a couple of calls with teams wanting to move up, but we wanted him," said GM Pierre Gauthier.
At No. 18, Chicago picked centre Mark McNeill of the WHL's Prince Albert Raiders. McNeill led Prince Albert in assists (49) and finished second in points (81) leading the Raiders to the playoffs for the first time since 2006-07.
Edmonton was back up at No. 19 and the club chose Farjestad defenceman Oscar Klefbom. He captained Sweden to a silver medal at the 2011 under-18 world championship.
At No. 20, the Phoenix Coyotes selected defenceman Connor Murphy, the son of ex-NHLer Gord Murphy.
The Senators selected American forward Stefan Noesom from the Plymouth Whalers of the OHL with their second pick of the first round. He scored 34 goals and added 43 assists for 77 points last season.
With pick No. 22, which they received from the Ducks for their 30th and 39th picks, the Toronto Maple Leafs made six-foot-two, 210-pound Tyler Biggs their first selection. He was the captain of the United States' under-18 development team.
The Pittsburgh Penguins made Portland Winterhawks defenceman Joe Morrow their first selection, 23rd overall.
The Senators, with the 24th pick received from the Detroit Red Wings for their 35th and 48th picks, then chose Peterborough Petes left-winger Matt Puempel, who had 34 goals and 35 assists for 69 points, with their third pick of the first round.
The Maple Leafs followed by selecting Mississauga St. Michael's Majors defenceman Stuart Percy with their second pick of the opening round.
At No. 26 — a pick they received from the Capitals for forward Troy Brouwer earlier in the day — the Blackhawks selected Victoriaville Tigres left-winger Phillip Danault.
With their first choice of the draft, the Tampa Bay Lightning then chose London Knights centre Vladislav Namestnikov, a native of Russia. The Minnesota Wild followed with centre Zack Phillips, the third choice from the Memorial Cup champion Sea Dogs.
The Stanley Cup finalist Vancouver Canucks chose Oshawa Generals forward Niklas Jensen with their first choice, 29th overall. Jensen became the third-highest Danish-born player ever selected in the draft.
The Anaheim Ducks wrapped up the opening round by selecting Plymouth right-winger Rickard Rakell with their first choice.

Akio's Assault Vehicle: Futuristic Sports Car Melds F1 Influences With Supra Styling
A pencil tip moves across a sheet of paper, leaving a thin graphite line. Perhaps a millimeter across, it could be swiftly erased. Or it could become the spark for the greatest performance cars that have ever existed: perhaps Marcello Gandini's 1966 Lamborghini Miura. Or Jean Bugatti's 1937 Type 57 SC Atlantic Coupe. Very different designs, but both born of a mere line arcing across paper.
For Alex Shen, studio chief designer at Toyota's Calty Design Research in Newport Beach, California, the words describing the sports car's styling concept came first — words like "sexy," "honest," "organic," "kick-ass." Followed by proportions — front/mid-engine, rear drive, just the right scale. And a wild guess at price — maybe $60,000? "It's a Toyota," says Shen. "It ought to be affordable." Only then did lines start to appear.
But when they did, it was an avalanche. Virtually every designer in the 65-person studio submitted sketches, hundreds of them, many drawn at night, some sketched on lunchtime napkins, altogether exploding the number of lines Calty's president, Kevin Hunter, and Shen's team slowly culled for the very best ideas. At least the hurricane of lines that would become their sports car was now just a flurry.
Let me back up here. Usually, when people draw cars, they're actually creating an outline, which in drawing parlance is a contour line — delineating the "contour" between the positive space (the car) and the negative space (the emptiness around it). In the realm of
car designers, the language differs; for them, the line's a "silhouette." A contour is applied across a surface to understand its shape.
For Shen, though, it would be a challenge for his silhouette not to recall that of the Mark
The canted roofline creates visual stress without unbalancing the overall shape.
4 Toyota Supra. It's iconic: a long, melted nose, abrupt windshield rise, tight roof peak, and lengthy plunge to a mini ducktail flip. And it was a line Shen and his colleagues simultaneously embraced and struggled to resist. Their task was to create a Toyota sports car for the future, a point emphasized by its eventual name, "FT-1" — for Future Toyota-One — which recalls their stillborn 2007 FT-HS project and parallels Lexus' "LF" (Lexus Future) naming scheme.
The FT-1, set to debut at the North America International Auto Show, is not a "real car," but a "concept car" — a three-dimensional frenzy of winks and side glances, sucking scoops, and brutal downforce-generators, all peeking at us from behind a curtain where the future is being created. It's the essence of a potent potential new sports car that's for now an instant of bodywork turbulence, shock-frozen in fiberglass.
When Calty pitched its plan to Toyota's Nagoya headquarters, its timing couldn't have been better. At the 2011 Tokyo auto show, Akio Toyoda had insisted, "Now we have a new slogan, 'Fun To Drive Again.'" And he'd made no secret of wanting a Supra-like car restored to the lineup. Calty was wise to the pitfalls, too, having been down this particular road five years earlier with its hybrid-drive, Supra-esque FT-HS, a car stillborn during the freefall of the great recession. But with the world economy healing and Toyota's helm in the hands of a guy who'd donned a helmet to drive in the Nürburgring 24-hour race, the starter button was firmly pushed. With Akio's blessing, Calty's in-house Supra-esque sports car got the green light to become a concept car to be judged by the world. A timeline was plotted, milestones marked. The team set to work.
Unlike the Supra, the FT-1 has racing fingerprints all over it. The wind is shat- tered by a prow dominated by a Formula 1-inspired beak. Consequently, the radia- tor's air is divided between twin shark-like mouths, each stuffed with electric fans sitting atop angled splitters whose shape is repeated higher up via streaking light signatures that fishhook around intense, triple-LED headlights.
Moving aft, its flanks are deeply slashed by even more air intakes that are themselves subsequently engulfed by rising rocker panels that suddenly erupt into muscular rear wheel arches. The roof is a sort of double-bubble, and the frenzy stays nonstop all the way to a tail that reminds you of a prototype sports racing car's, complete with Venturi tunnel openings, a dense array of 35 tiny LED foglights, extendable wing, and twin storm- drain exhausts. None of this is by accident. During the FT-1's gestation, Calty (involved in shaping Toyota's Camry NASCAR racer) frequently consulted nearby Toyota Racing Development to ensure its shape was consistent with a sports car's engineering demands. The result is called "functional sculpting."
Red, which emphasizes highlights, was the only color ever considered.
Classic "silhouette cars" — ones you'd be inclined to draw in outline — are typically relaxed, simple fuselage forms that tran- quilly speak to you through their broad pools of subtly reflected light. Think of the soft, slightly balloon-ish shapes from the '50s and '60s — a particularly good example for me being the Lancia Aurelia B20.On the other hand, "gesture" in drawing puts an emphasis on the action and vitality. A good (or bad) example of gesture is the 1984 Ferrari Testarossa, a very, very busy design. Draw it, and your pencil becomes animated trying to capture the long strakes across its mammoth side-radiator gills. Recently, this sort of hyperactive, big-sculpture automotive design seems to be reemerging: the new Corvette, anyone? The FT-1's extreme gesture mixes positive and negative space even more turbulently; somehow, it's both windswept and forward-leaning.
Designers usually strive to have three key lines on a car. One, typically, is the roofline, which fades into a crease or angle across the hood or trunk; another, its beltline (established by the windowsill); and another, the fender line (or even the rocker panel). In designer-speak, these are all character lines. Look for them in the FT-1. They're not there. In fact, the goal was to completely dispense with "line-design," replacing it with "form first-read" shapes. "It's all about highlights," Shen explains, then pointing to the contrast of large and small forms at the rear. The FT-1 was always pictured in red, a color that emphasizes highlights; consequently, "shadings" — more characteristic of silver cars — weren't as important here. Indeed, up to 18 different reds were considered. "We looked at so many reds, we were getting red spots before our eyes," laughs Shen. And though the team viewed the car in other colors via their visualization software, the CGI experience that really mattered was when the folks at Gran Turismo rendered the car at various racetracks, sliding through corners. Kevin: "When we saw the car at Suzuka, we cheered."
<img src="http://enthusiastnetwork.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/sites/42/2014/01/Toyota-FT-1-small-clay.jpg" alt="FROM PENCIL TO CLAY
Calty employs every available tool to design. At left, Scotchcal (from 3M) is used to wrap the full-size model for in-color visualization. It's removed and reapplied in areas that need modification. The FT-1's undulating shape echoes a recent taste for voluptuousness that can also be seen in the McLaren P1 and the LaFerrari." class="wp-image-2037756″ />
A detail I've been obviously evading so far is the FT-1's smoked engine cover, which, at the moment, we're going to have to regard as a crystal ball. What's actually deep down there at present is a mere golf cart electric motor, just enough to move the rolling display around. In fact, the car's most significant engineering feature is its four vertical rams that extend downward to raise it, expediting tie-strapping its wheels to transporters.
But if our crystal ball doesn't offer any details, the recent announcement by Toyota and BMW to develop a shared sports car architecture, certainly suggests some outlines. Toyota's tradition with sports car engines has always been inline sixes, which in later years became turbocharged. The 2000GT's engine was a 150 hp 2-liter DOHC straight-six; the final Supra was powered by a (sequentially-employed) twin-turbo 3-liter straight-six with over twice the power — 320 hp. Today, there's no better inline-six builder than BMW. So are we looking at a development of their 3-liter TwinPower Turbo? And, in BMW coachwork, might this chassis and engine combo power a future Z4?
It's a Toyota. It ought to be affordable. — designer Alex Shen
Before Calty studio design manager Bill Chergosky began work on the FT-1's interior, he and his colleagues went on two field trips. One was to a race-driving school where they quickly realized that, when you're driving really fast, about all you actually see is your hands and the view of the road unreeling ahead. That took them to the Marine Corps Air Station in Miramar, north of San Diego, where they studied head-up displays in fighter jet simulators. Toyota calls this process genchi genbutsu, which basically means, don't read about it — go out and experience it!
Chergosky's hyper-driver-focused cockpit is governed by a sense of authenticity for what its purpose is, and characterized by its concise data display atop the steering wheel rim and various projections onto its fighter-like, clear pane HUM (for head-up meter) standing above the dash. At speed, these two hold all the information you need (secondary info can be selectively dropped into the "dock" below, where traditional gauges would reside), so there's no half-second distraction from glancing down. But if you do glance down—at casual velocities, of course — everything you require is a finger extension away. And aesthetically, it's also exactly what you'd imagine a 23rd-century starfighter's ride to look like: beautifully detailed in aluminum and polished carbon-fiber weave that's starkly juxtaposed with heavy, saddle-stitched hides perforated for cooling air. The catchphrase Bill and his team used here was "slingshot": Everything is stretched around him with the driver being the imaginary projectile.
It's simultaneously thoughtful, technical art — and a seat a 13-year-old would go crazy strapped into. Curious, I asked Bill how his drawing has evolved in the 30 years since he was 13. He paused and then replied, "At that age, you're fearless. Keeping the thread of that inner kid who's willing to take chances is what makes a really good designer."
With the car finished and the photography complete, it's off to Detroit to face the fickle public's judgment. But Kevin Hunter says he's learned to recognize the initial signs of whether a concept car is a hit or a miss at an auto show reveal. "The true measure is when it's dark, the headlights are on, and they just start to pick up some of the silhouette and realize what kind of animal this is."
And it'll also be the moment when we'll finally know if Shen's — and the whole Calty team's — hundreds of original drawings have turned into a sports car with a mandate to be built.

We recently went shopping online at www.summitracing.com and were impressed by the amount of quality custom engine products to be found there. From mild to wild, Summit Racing has everything that you'll ever need to build or dress a custom engine.
We then stopped at Primo Restorations of Ontario, California, where Frank Melendez and his crew were working on a GM Performance small-block 350-c.i.d. "crate" engine. The candy-painted block was about to get a Billet Specialties serpentine belt kit that was obtained through Summit's easy to use website. A serpentine system improves your engine's efficiency, plus it looks cool.
The Billet Specialties serpentine system is engineered to bolt right on and align perfectly without stabilizer brackets or adjuster bars; perfect if you own an early small-block engine. Most of the heads on yesterday's 327-283s didn't have any holes for brackets as there weren't too many options available for the early small-blocks.
Frank found the perfect serpentine system through Summit Racing. Now follow along as Primo Restorations show us how they dressed up a customer's car with some under-hood magic, thanks to Billet Specialties and Summit Racing.

One sunny day a few months ago I went to a tiki party in Escondido. The back yard had several tiki statues and thatch huts. There were tikis holding up the patio, which had a view of a canyon full of eucalyptus trees. There was a pool that had a slide built from fake boulders. I mentioned to someone how impressive the rock slide was, and he told me that the same company that built this one also built them at SeaWorld.
Kids were jumping off the rocks into the pool. I told Chris, the homeowner, that if I were a kid, I'd live in his back yard. He said, "There's a baseball team next door that came over earlier just to use the pool. All of them were doing back flips." I was about to ask him if he was worried that someone might get hurt when he yelled, "Hey, nice back flip!" I guessed not.
One kid jumped from the rocks onto an inflatable jet ski and then slid into the pool in pain. Another kid kept jumping off the rocks with different items -- a snorkel in his mouth, an inner tube around his waist.
One guy walked into the party with three cases of wine. Someone said, "He owns the Orfila Winery in Escondido. He's great about bringing wine to parties. He just asks that we give him back anything we don't use." (Note to self: become friends with a wine maker.)
Someone told me that the pool had salt water in it, which is better for the skin than chlorinated fresh water. He explained to me how bacteria grows, but when the explanation got long-winded, I excused myself and headed to the outdoor bar to grab some dip. Chris was in the process of making salsa with guacamole in it, and a crowd was waiting for him to finish. It reminded me of people crowding around the free samples at Costco.
There were a couple food tables where guests could drop off what they brought. One woman had made two kinds of wraps. My date said, "Wow, I've never seen peanut butter and jelly wraps." She ate four.
There were several interesting characters at the party. One guy called himself "Tiki Dan." He had long hair and a surfer vibe. He pointed out a surfboard tiki that he had carved into one of Chris's palm trees. He told me it takes them two or three years to dry out and that they're 80 percent lighter when they're dried. He invited me out front to his truck where he showed me more of his woodwork, such as the danger signs with skulls that he sells for $20. "I'll make you something if you want," he said as he grabbed his tools. I thought he was going to start right then and there. I thanked him and said I didn't need anything. A neighbor Tiki Dan had done work for pulled up and handed him a beer and money that he owed him.
I then met a guy named John who wore a Negro League baseball cap. I asked him if he knew anything about players Josh Gibson and Satchel Paige, and we talked about the history of the Negro Leagues. He told me that he got interested in the teams when he found out his uncle played on one. John's wife is a retired cop, and I asked her for a few crazy stories. She said there were too many.
John went to college on a football scholarship. He told me that when he wasn't getting playing time, he ran track. We talked basketball, and he told me a story about playing with Bill Walton in the late '60s at Balboa Park. "He was always so respectful of everyone. And he just loved the sport. I saw him recently. I hadn't seen him since he was playing back in high school. He looked up as he was signing an autograph and said, 'Oh, hi John.' I couldn't believe he remembered me."
A bunch of guys who obviously work out were walking around shirtless. "There's no way in hell my shirt is coming off in this crowd," I said to my date. Just then, a big guy named Danny came up and said in an exaggerated Italian accent, "Yo, man, listen. I love your column. You got lots of good write-ups. But the one you write about this party better be good. I don't wanna have to come pay a visit to your wife or hurt anyone. Ya know what I mean?"
I found a chair in a thatch hut where I petted a big dog and talked with a couple until Chris called me over to try his dip. I told him I didn't eat avocado and took a plate of plain salsa.
When a guy reached over to turn off the stereo, Chris asked him why. "It's playing Clapton's 'Cocaine.' I don't want the kids hearing that." I told him that I was a kid when that song came out and that it didn't influence me to do cocaine or other drugs. He said, "Well, I don't want to contribute to it. I'd rather the kids just don't hear songs like this."
He pressed skip and the disc went to the next song, which was hardcore rap with worse lyrics...
When a kid came up to the stereo 15 minutes later, someone said, "Nobody under 40 can touch the stereo," which explained all the Jimmy Buffet and Beach Boys.
Chris told me that he used to work for Fineline Entertainment in Colorado and got to meet a lot of bands. I asked him if that's how he got the guitar signed by the Eagles. "No. I bought that on eBay for $400." He told me he didn't get autographs backstage because he didn't want to bug the bands. He told me how he once got John Elway's autograph for a friend's son. He said, "I had it, but I lost it." I said, "You lost it before you even gave it to the kid?" He replied, "Uh, no. He had it. But he died."
In the silence that followed, I heard Tiki Dan talking about his craft. I noticed Dan was wearing work boots with shorts. With his handlebar mustache and the crazed look in his eyes, I thought he might go to town carving up the back-yard fence.
A band called the Hype started setting up. I said to a woman wearing a "Believe the Hype" shirt that it was cool she had shirts made. "Oh, I didn't. We saw these at Old Navy and bought 'em all."
The singer reminded me of Jim Belushi when he started playing harmonica. He said, "This is like playing a cruise." As I left, I heard him say, "I've never had a host tell me to turn it up before... Cool!"

FILTER 50: Getting To Know: Unknown Mortal Orchestra
By Laura Studarus; photo by Jasmine Safaeian on February 6, 2013
Despite a teenage stint as Auckland's most obvious graffiti artist, Unknown Mortal Orchestra frontman Ruban Nielson's goal was never to stand out. "I didn't get caught, even though I tagged my actual name," he says, his voice crackling with amusement. "There was this kid who was a tagger and got caught by the police and he had to change his tag. Me and him always had a little beef. So I changed my [tagger] name to 'Ruban' just to rub it in."
Now 32, Nielson is still apt at hiding in plain sight. Slouched in a booth at a Mexican restaurant in Los Angeles' Echo Park neighborhood, he could pass for any other Friday night patron—save for a mysterious, peering eyeball tattooed across his Adam's apple.
This anonymity hasn't always existed. Having found success with his previous band The Mint Chicks (which featured his brother Kody, now of Kiwi upstarts Opossom), Nielson discovered that life in the public eye was limiting.
"We were in the newspaper and on TV," he says. "New Zealand is a small country, but it gets even smaller once people start to recognize you. There was nowhere for me to go. The only option was to become more mainstream or flounder."
Unsure if he wanted to continue making music, and craving a respite from his unsolicited position as a big fish in a small pond, Nielson relocated to Portland, Oregon, where he took a break from everything connected to his old life.
"I've been trying to stop doing music from the start," says Nielson. "I really like doing it, but I keep going through these phases of trying to stop myself. My dad is a jazz musician. My mother is a hula dancer; she used to do backup vocals for lounge singers. My aunt teaches Suzuki method violin. I have an uncle who's a reggae musician… I think I'm genetically predisposed."
Discovering that even a continent away he was unable to stop thinking in musical terms, Nielson returned to his craft, joining with friends Jake Portrait and Julien Ehrlich to create Unknown Mortal Orchestra (Ehrlich left UMO between albums; drummer Greg Rogove joined the band in 2012). The result of the trio's partnership is a psych rock blend of bluesy guitar hooks and buzzy melodies. The band's sophomore album, II, features slyly darker takes on themes explored on their 2011 self-titled debut. From the harmony-laden opening track "From the Sun" where Nielson muses, "Isolation can put a gun in your hand," to the percussion-driven bad-girl anthem "So Good At Being in Trouble," there's a swinging aesthetic that places the album firmly in a distant psychedelic world that its makers have only experienced through musty vinyl.
"Most of the stuff that I'm influenced by was recorded and happened before I was born, so I don't really feel like it's nostalgia," says Nielson. "It's cool to forget about being in 2012, just making whatever music you think is the best from everything that you've absorbed over the years. I remember that there was more pressure six years ago to bring some element into your music that time-stamped it as being 'from this time.' I don't feel that pressure now."
Although, he admits, Unknown Mortal Orchestra's retro-leaning brew is a sea change from his own musical roots.
"I just grew up around punk rock and hardcore bands," he laughs. "All of the stuff that I'm doing now is a guilty pleasure… All the Flying Nun [Records] dudes in New Zealand and all the punks that taught me about music, I can just see them going, 'No! We didn't teach you this! We didn't raise you to be like this!'"
Regardless of genre, Nielson has the unflagging support of his 2-year-old daughter Iris, who graces the cover of the band's seven-inch "Swim and Sleep (Like a Shark)." Already happy to have won her ear with Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Nielson has plans to further expand his daughter's musical palette past his band's recordings.
"It'll be cool when she's at the stage where I can say, 'This is The Violent Femmes…" he says. "Cool girl music. But she's a real girl, she's not going to want to hear Napalm Death. It's all Blondie and stuff like that."
At least Nielson knows he'll always have one fan who will never fail to recognize him. F
3 albums that inspired Unknown Mortal Orchestra to make music
Frank Zappa
Hot Rats
It was the first music I listened to that my friends didn't know. It put me on a different tangent. RUBAN NIELSON
David Bowie
You put it on and it's got its own thing going. I still listen to it all the time. JAKE PORTRAIT
Beastie Boys
Ill Communication
They exposed me to jazz and hardcore. They were the entry-level band for a bunch of different stuff. RUBAN NIELSON

Just checking in! You have such a good attitude regarding the snow! I wouldn"t be nearly as gracious. We haven't had any snow here this year and I have to admit I am thankful, although my kiddos are sad!
Hope you and the family are doing well!

I'm jealous of your snow! Last year we had record amounts. This year we've had 1 measurable snowfall of 8 inches. We've only had light dustings about 3 times. I'd love to have one great blizzard where we stay all cozy at home and then go sledding the next day. That would be awesome!

Toboggan hill? Details please! :) We need some sledding places!

This recipe can almost be called a pudding, it's so thick! A great, creative way to use lucuma powder, which gives it a rich, sweet, maple flavor alongside the raspberry.
- 1 tbsp chia seeds, soaked
- 1-1 1/2 cups water
- 1 cup frozen raspberries
- 1/4 cup lucuma powder
- 1 tbsp almond butter
- Add all ingredients to a blender, and blend on high for 20-30 seconds. Enjoy!

The Mount Saint Joseph Academy robotics team, the Firebirds, won the Mid-Atlantic Regional Championship's Chairman's Award for the seventh consecutive year. The Firebirds traveled to Lehigh University on April 11 and competed against 50 teams in the Mid-Atlantic Regional Championships.
The Firebirds are currently preparing to compete with their robot at the FIRST Robotics World Championships in St. Louis, Mo. from April 25-27.
Mid-Atlantic Robotics' games closely resemble sporting events. Each robot competes against others in a game that changes every year. This year's game is called Ultimate Ascent and involves the robots flinging as many Frisbee-like discs as possible into goals of varying point values over a 2:15-minute period.
The match begins with a 15-second autonomous period in which the robots operate independently of driver input. Discs scored during this period are worth more points. For the remainder of the match, drivers control their robots. The match ends with the robots attempting to climb pyramids that are located near the middle of the 27 x 54-foot indoor playing field. Robots earn points based on how high they climb.
Each robotics team is structured like a miniature business, with committees covering software, hardware, marketing, finance and more. Most robots are about the size of a small chest freezer. Each team is given the same basic components to build their robots but no blueprint is provided. The result is a diverse collection of cleverly crafted machines.
Founded in 2010, Mid-Atlantic Robotics (MAR) is a non-profit corporation that spans all of Delaware, New Jersey and counties in Pennsylvania from Harrisburg eastward. MAR is affiliated with FIRST Robotics, a not-for-profit organization founded in 1989 that aims to inspire youth and promote interest in science and technology through robotic competitions that involve 2,500 teams and 58,000 students in the U.S. and around the world.
