Consolidated Tomoka Closes $46 Million Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility
Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. (NYSE Amex: CTO) today announced the closing of a new $46 million unsecured revolving credit facility, replacing its existing $25 million secured credit facility and paying off its existing term loan due July 2012, which had an outstanding balance of approximating $5.5 million. The new credit facility matures in February 2015, with a Company option to extend maturity by one year. The interest rate on the facility ranges from LIBOR plus 175 basis points to LIBOR plus 250 basis points, based on the amount drawn on the facility. It also includes an accordion feature allowing the Company to increase the facility size to $75 million.
Bank of Montreal is acting as administrative agent and lender under the facility.
"We are very pleased to close this unsecured facility," said John P. Albright, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. "This new facility will provide more financial flexibility and give us greater capacity to take advantage of attractive investment opportunities."

Former Boston Celtics trio Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Jason Terry say they are aiming for an NBA title after making the switch to the Brooklyn Nets.
The trio were unveiled by their new team on Thursday and immediately stated their intentions to win the franchise's first championship since switching from the NBA/ABA merger.
Despite all three players being 35 or older, Pierce believes that he can add another title to the crown he won with the Celtics in 2008.
"We've got all the ingredients we need to win a championship," Pierce is quoted as saying by AFP.
"We just need to figure out how to make it all come together. Great players always figure it out and I think we will."
New Nets coach Jason Kidd, who was appointed just days after announcing his retirement as a player, has also stated that Brooklyn have set themselves lofty goals.
Kidd said: "We're talking about a championship. The big picture is the championship trophy and hopefully we can win that. The gold trophy is what we're here for."

Kitakubo, Hiroyuki. (1963–). Kitakubo was a true prodigy in the anime world, working on Urusei Yatsura while still a teenager. After a directorial debut with Cream Lemon, he went on to design and direct landmark works includingBlack Magic M-66, a segment of Robot Carnival, and Roujin Z. Credited with part of the early computer graphics work seen in Akira, he would subsequently direct Blood: The Last Vampire for Production IG. He also pastiched the dystopian style of many 1980s Madhouse anime in "Last Orders" (1997), an animated commercial for Murphy's Stout, screened in the U.K

Senator Charles Schumer talked to students at Wagner College in Grymes Hill, Staten Island Friday about how they can save money.
Under the federal stimulus package, all families with an income of less than $180,000 will qualify for a $2,500 refundable tax credit for college or graduate school tuition.
The senator said education should be within reach for everyone.
"One of the great worries during the recession, with people losing their jobs and paychecks not stretching as far as they did, is that a lot of young people would either be forced to drop out of college or those who are applying to college would decide not to go, or not to go to the college they should go to based on their grades and extracurricular," said Schumer.
Schumer estimates this credit will help about 95 percent of families in New York.
The credit will go into effect later this year.

Theoretical Neuroscience
Theoretical neuroscience provides a quantitative basis for describing what nervous systems do, determining how they function, and uncovering the general principles by which they operate. This text introduces the basic mathematical and computational methods of theoretical neuroscience and presents applications in a variety of areas including vision, sensory-motor integration, development, learning, and memory.
The book is divided into three parts. Part I discusses the relationship between sensory stimuli and neural responses, focusing on the representation of information by the spiking activity of neurons. Part II discusses the modeling of neurons and neural circuits on the basis of cellular and synaptic biophysics. Part III analyzes the role of plasticity in development and learning. An appendix covers the mathematical methods used, and exercises are available on the book's Web site.
About the Authors
Larry Abbott is Professor of Neuroscience and Co-Director of the Center for Theoretical Neuroscience at Columbia University.
Peter Dayan is Professor and Director of the Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit at University College London.
"It will not be surprising if this book becomes the standard text for students and researchers entering theoretical neuroscience for years to come."—M. Brandon Westover, Philosophical Psychology
"Not only does the book set a high standard for theoretical neuroscience, it defines the field."—Dmitri Chklovskii, Neuron
"Eugene Izhikevich has written an excellent introduction to the application of nonlinear dynamics to the spiking patterns of neurons. There are dozens of clear illustrations and hundreds of exercises ranging from the very easy to Ph.D.-level questions. The book will be suitable for mathematicians and physicists who want to jump into this exciting field as well as for neuroscientists who desire a deeper understanding of the utility of nonlinear dynamics applied to biology."—Bard Ermentrout, Department of Mathematics, University of Pittsburgh
"Upon the ruins of Freud's failed attempt to construct a universal theory of mind, Hobson builds a catholic, brain-based edifice to account for the phenomenology of awake consciousness, sleep, and dreams in sickness and health. Its cornerstone—that dreaming, psychosis, and psychedelic experiences are closely related phenomena caused by specific alterations in the brain's neuromodulatory systems—allows him to explain a dizzying variety of altered states—from hypnosis to lucid dreaming, from out-of-body to religious experiences, mind-altering drugs and so on—within a single framework."—Christof Koch, Lois and Victor Troendle Professor of Cognitive and Behavioral Biology, California Institute of Technology
"Peter Dayan and L.F. Abbott have crafted an excellent introduction to the various methods of modeling nervous system function. The chapters dealing with neural coding and information theory are particularly welcome because these are new areas that are not well represented in existing texts."—Phillip S. Ulinski
"Dayan and Abbott inspire us with a work of tremendous breadth, and each chapter is more exciting than the next. Everyone with an interest in neuroscience will want to read this book. A truly remarkable effort by two of the leaders in the field."—P. Read Montague, Professor, Division of Neuroscience, and Director, Center for Theoretical Neuroscience, Baylor College of Medicine
"An excellent book. There are a few volumes already available in theoretical neuroscience but none have the scope that this one does."—Bard Ermentrout, Department of Mathematics, University of Pittsburgh
"Theoretical Neuroscience provides a rigorous introduction to how neurons code, compute, and adapt. It is a remarkable synthesis of advances from many areas of neuroscience into a coherent computational framework. This book sets the standards for a new generation of modelers."—Terrence J. Sejnowski, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Salk Institute for Biological Studies, and University of California, San Diego
"The first comprehensive textbook on computational neuroscience. The topics covered span the gamut from biophysical faithful single cell models to neural networks, from the way nervous systems encode information in spike trains to how this information might be decoded, and from synaptic plasticity to supervised and unsupervised learning. And all of this is presented in a sophisticated yet accessible manner. A must buy for anybody who cares about the way brains compute."—Christof Koch, Lois and Victor Troendle Professor of Cognitive and Behavioral Biology, California Institute of Technology
"Theoretical Neuroscience marks a milestone in the scientific maturation of integrative neuroscience. In the last decade, computational and mathematical modelling have developed into an integral part of the field, and now we finally have a textbook that reflects the changes in the way our science is being done. It will be a standard source of knowledge for the coming generation of students, both theoretical and experimental. I urge anyone who wants to be part of the development of this science in the next decades to get this book. Read it, and let your students read it."—John Hertz, Nordita (Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics), Denmark
"The more we learn about the brain, the more we are coming to realize that understanding its development will be a key tounlocking its functions, especially its ability to adapt to new environments. The wide range of levels of development that can be studied, from the molecular to the cognitive, are described in this book by some of the leading researchers in this growing field of computational neural development."—Terrence J. Sejnowski, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Salk Institute for Biological Studies, and University of California, San Diego

Welcome to the Janet Berry Elementary School web page. Please click on "Our School" at the left and then select from the menu at the left to view more complete information about our school.
Thank you for supporting the referendum. As you may already know, the public successfully passed a major referendum for construction regarding the security of our schools. This will require summer construction at several school sites. The summer school staff is cooperating with AASD facilities to plan and accommodate both the construction and a successful summer school program. Summer school for high school students will be moved from East High School to North High School for this summer. At other sites, alternate entrances, manned by security personnel, will be utilized. With necessary adjustments, the summer school program will once again be a beneficial opportunity for our students.

Date- A few weeks ago
Range- 75 yards
Conditions- indoor, room temperature
Ammo- Sellier & Bellot 180 Grain #2940
Grouping was 5 rounds in a 2.5 Inch group. Threw the range targets away but it was a pretty good group. No scope, just plan sights brought down to default range of 300 meters (i think)
Not the longest distance but I am pretty satisfied. Close quarters combat ranges and home defense ranges.
More reports with Ruger 10/.22 LR coming soon!

Not attempting to get into a pissing contest, but.... your off base.
Read this..http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/PPSh-41
and read the 1st article I posted.
Don't forget, it is 48.5" log and weighs 8.8lb without the bayonet. 66.5" with. That is 5.54 feet. Remember, they were not running at each other like the civil war. What you saw watching Enemy at the Gates was hollywood, not actual fact. If it was, why no bayonets on any of the 91/30's during the charge or later in the fountian???
My 91, with a scope, off a bench, with Winchester ammo, without a bayonet will shoot MOA. Usually 2 of 3 holes touching. Could never come close to that with Wolf or surplus. And I wouldn't doubt you could use the bayonet at 300 yards, you may need to use the gun to "poll vault" over to the enemy first, but I think it could be done.

mysecureshell howto bandwidth monthly limit on user GROUP?
Hello to everybody!
I have followed this tutorial to setup a very happy chrooted enviroment for my clients.
I have created a first "user1" and all clients users with home directory within the home of first user1, in this way the primary user1 can se all files of all other subclients.
All users are within the group of first user1 and the group "user1" have a QUOTA control for disc space.
Now, i want to setup a bandwidth use limit for all users of the group "user1", not only limit the real bandwidth when there is a transfer, but setup a monthly amount of data that all gropu can transfer.
I can make this on the sftp_config file of mysecureshell or can control in other ways?!
Thanks you very much.

Breeding pairs remaining in the world: 12,750
Where do they breed?: Albatross Island, Pedra Branca and Mewstone (Tasmania)
Wingspan: 210-260 cm
Length (beak to tail): 90-100 cm
Average lifespan: Up to 30 years
Diet: Mainly fish, marine molluscs, shrimps, lobsters and tunicates (barrel-like filter feeders)
Scientific name:Thalassarche cautaThreat level: Near Threatened
Working out where this albatross species forages for food is made difficult by its similar appearance to other albatrosses.
We do have some tracking data, though, which shows that adults appear to be relatively sedentary and remain concentrated around Tasmania and southern Australia. In these waters they do not really get caught as fisheries bycatch.
However, ring recoveries from birds caught off South Africa and New Zealand suggest that juveniles roam over a far larger area. This puts them in greater contact with fishing fleets, and makes them much more likely to be caught as fisheries bycatch.
A disease called avian pox virus has been recorded in chicks on Albatross Island, and is a potentially serious threat to the species survival here.

Mark's new Alpair 7
3 Attachment(s)
OK Guys,
Heres the Alpair 7. In some ways, this might become my favourite driver. Last week, Norio San and me sat down to road test a pair of these in 7.25 litre BR pine-wood boxes, nothing fancy. Powered by a Accuphase E307, source was a Denon S10 CD player, no filters, no cross, just these units, we were blown over by the detail and sheer quality of the reproduction. I wont say any more because its the future users that will be the final judges. All the same, I was more than pleased with my alchemy and there was a huge smile on Norios face.
The primary objective of this Alpair is to deliver a very wide range, particularly in the HF. If I had a dollar for all the people that told me its impossible to take a single cone design of this size beyond 20K, I be happily retired by now. I was told whizzers and co-axial were the only ways to go. Well, the Alpair 7 delivers 30-kHz without whizzers, co-ax tweets, phase plugs and all the tricks that came along over the years: The Alpair 7 is a single cone, purists design.
Cone - Japan 4 mix alloy, re-tempered material. For those with knowledge of Japans long history in metals, youll know whats been done to this cone. Lots of time and effort have gone into this cone and cap. This includes the to 7-10 micron finish. The new Multiform process in full use to make this component, couldn't be done any other way due of its tolerance critical requirement.
Cap - Same material as the cone, thickness down to <0.06-mm. Also made by Multiform. DONT touch it! (or the cone for that matter).
Front Surround - The softest compliance and the thinnest we made so far. Two additional sets of micro-fibre have been blended into sections of the butyl to retain stability. My thanks to Lui Yi Ping for his hard work, and his particular attention to the tooling used to centre to surrounds on to the cones.
Voice coil - The former has been re-manufactured on a machine to line up the forms leading edges prior to winding. The accuracy is tolerance critical on this design.
Spider - My thanks to Tadashi Matsubara San. As already mentioned in the Alpair 12 launch thread, Matsubara sans contribution to the Alpair 7 rear suspension is significant, this spider uses the same design concept and production tolerances as the Alpair 12.
The rest - by now, most of you know my approach to building drivers. All the components are 100% custom built. This includes the new connector blocks. The frame is custom, its 135-mm in diameter. I put my time in (along with Evan and Yifan) on the production line, also much time spent at the component suppliers getting this driver made. I smashed allot of early components until the guys got it right, then I stopped smashing and started assembling.
Finally, my thanks to many members of DIYaudio. Your advice and suggestions are important. These contributions have influenced the build and performance of these latest drivers - many thanks to you all.
Have fun

Hi Mark, congratulations on another beautiful driver. I came across some A7 tests on this blog the other day, before you posted this release:
æä½ãã¹ãã¼ã«ã¼ç*究室ããã´ç*ãã ã*ã° » éè¨
Has the driver been out for a little while in Asia, or was this a pre-production sample?
Hi Mark,
Normally I don't care about looks, but these are so cute, I could buy just to look at them!!
Good luck!
Hi Henry, Geek and Peter
Thanks, glad you like the look. I'm trying to help DIYer's gain a "pro" look to projects. There's a front cover that fits over the frame. It's bonded to the frame but could be supplied separate in the future. This would allow users to customise the look (painted cover etc.)
Any thoughts?
Hi Chas,
Yes, this driver (Also new CHR-70) is in Japan right now. Germany next week. The Japan version is slightly different in some minor details. But very minor. Both drivers are already selling well.
Hi Dave,
Sorry I've not called you, (hectic). I'll catch up and call you to discuss.

Here's a pic of the Alpair 7 in a nice cabinet from the Linfof Japan blog site:
I have just begun to look at some of your drivers for a mini-console luggable project I am working on. They look rather nice (haven't run numbers yet but look doable). One concern I have is durability of the light weight materials in the hands of a teenager. Have you found these driver to be pretty rugged.
My application is 4-8W of SE tube power into the mains (preferably sealed or open back) with crossover to sub at around 70-80Hz. Looking to get SPLs in the mid 90s if possible. Have looked at Fostex (Xmax issues), CSS FS125 and Jordan. Of the three I like the Jordan best even though efficiency is not as high as Fostex. Your drivers seem to be very competitive in this application.

"Alleged Chicago Torturer's Overdue Day in Court." By Amy Goodman
Abu Ghraib has nothing over Chicago. Forty years ago, Jon Burge returned from Vietnam, joined the Chicago Police Department and allegedly began torturing people.
Jeremy Scahill Wins George Polk Book Award for "Blackwater"
Democracy Now! correspondent and best-selling author Jeremy Scahill has won the The George Polk Book Award for his book "Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army." The judges said: "Scahill's work exposed killings, human rights violations and misconduct by the firm's personnel and revealed the U.S. government's growing reliance on this 'shadow army.' His reporting and Congressional testimony helped propel legislation that would ban U.S. government security contracts with Blackwater and other private military companies."
Amy Goodman, cover story in The Progressive Magazine
By Elizabeth DiNovella, February 2008 Issue
"I've always been surprised that people say it's a hopeful program because we deal with such difficult subjects," she says. "But I think it's hopeful because of the people we interview."
Democracy Now! in Le Monde Diplomatique
For 12 years a radio and television news programme, Democracy Now, has survived and even flourished on a cobbled-together broadcast network that reaches all of the United States and out into the world. It has almost no paid resources, yet daily defies the corporate and government agendas, and has sometimes forced mainstream media into picking up its stories, if not its attitudes.
Regis Philbin watches Democracy Now!
Regis talks about his dinner with Amy Goodman on his show Live with Regis and Kelly.
REGIS: And on my right was Amy Goodman — I was unfamiliar with the name. "What do you do, Amy?"… She says, "We cover global events." … Well, now, excuse me, but what am I going to have in common with someone who covers global news? … : The beautiful baby contest? That ain't going to do it! … Santa Claus getting pawed? No!… [The] woman was very interesting, so I tuned her in. She's on from 8:00 to 9:00 in the morning.
KELLY: That's really good. So I'm going to tune her in, too.
REGIS : Yeah. Yes, Amy Goodman.

Audio From 1998: Rep. Mark Souder (R-IN) Hangs Up On Amy Goodman When Asked If He Has Ever Had An Affair
Earlier today Rep. Mark Souder (R-IN) resigned his House seat after acknowledging he had an affair with a female staffer. Long an advocate for "family values," Souder called for former President Bill Clinton to resign over the Monica Lewinsky scandal. On Sept. 17, 1998, during the Clinton impeachment scandal, Democracy Now! invited Rep. Souder and Rep. Bill McCollum (R-FL) (who is now running for governor in Florida) to discuss by phone a recent House vote on combating drugs. In the spirit of the times, Amy Goodman asked both men if they have ever had extramarital affairs. McCollum said "I am not, and, uh.. in, at this present time involved in anything whatsoever, have not been." When Souder was asked, he hung up the phone.
"Singing Lena Horne's Praises." By Amy Goodman
Lena Horne died this week at the age of 92. More than just a brilliant singer and actress, she was a pioneering civil rights activist, breaking racial barriers for generations of African-Americans who have followed her.
"BP: Billionaire Polluter." By Amy Goodman
The power and wealth that BP and other oil giants wield are almost without parallel in the world, and pose a threat to the lives of workers, to the environment and to our prospects for democracy.
"Boycotting Arizona's Racism." By Amy Goodman
Arizona Senate Bill 1070 empowers state and local law enforcement to stop, question and arrest whoever they suspect may not be in the state legally. The law is an open invitation to sweeping racial profiling and arbitrary detention.
By Amy Goodman with Denis Moynihan
The failed United States policy against Cuba, which has for more than half a century stifled relations between these neighboring countries and inflicted generations of harm upon the Cuban people, may finally be collapsing.

When you order our any of our temporary tattoo products, you will receive a sheet of images. Simply select the ones wish to wear, cut out a square around the image (no need to be precise), remove clear protective sheet and lay facedown on skin, nails etc. Using our Applicator (or a wet cloth), moisten back of sheet with water until transferred onto skin (about 10 - 15 seconds). Make sure that the image is thoroughly moistened but NOT soaking wet, as oversaturating can inhibit adhesion to the skin and reduce wear time. Once transferred, simply slide off the paper sheet and let dry.
Poppy Drops® temporary tattoos are waterproof and not able to be removed with soap and water. Yay for bathtime!! That said, when she is ready for something new, just swipe the skin with a little baby oil or rubbing alcohol to remove. For nails, nail polish remover works great too!

Dion's Tuesday ETF Winners and Losers
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Welcome to Don Dion's Daily ETF Winners and Losers. Be sure to stop by each day to get a feel of who's winning and who's losing when it comes to ETFs.
iPath S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures ETN (VXX) 6.7%Thanks to a dismal consumer confidence report and concerns regarding China's economic growth prospects, fear is in abundance and the VIX is scoring gains.
Over the past week and a half, VXX has staged an impressive bounce against its 50-day moving average but remains too dangerous to consider a long-term holding.
CurrencyShares Japanese Yen Trust (FXY) 1.0%Rather than using VIX-based ETFs like VXX to play down days like these, I would advise investors to use funds like FXY, iShares Barclay's 20+ Year Treasury Bond Fund (TLT) and iShares COMEX Gold Shares (IAU) as stable defensive plays.
Today, all three of these funds have managed to avoid falling into negative territory.
iShares MSCI Switzerland Index Fund (EWL) -6.0%The strength of the Swiss franc does not have the National Bank of Switzerland worried as evidenced by their comments regarding the lack of deflationary risk issued on Monday. However, investors do not appear to share the same sentiment and EWL is suffering. EWL is actually down about 2% from yesterday's late trading, ahead of the eurozone country ETFs, but a very large spike at the end of the trading day has led to the large reported loss today.
Investors can play the nation's currency, which has recently surged against the euro and the U.S. dollar, using the CurrencyShares Swiss Franc Trust (FXF).
Market Vectors Coal ETF (KOL) -5.2%Concerns about China's growth prospects are putting pressure on commodities and materials funds, driving KOL, Market Vectors Steel ETF (SLX), SPDR Metals & Mining ETF (XME) and iPath Dow Jones-UBS Copper Total Return Subindex ETN (JJC) lower. Investors interested in playing materials in the future should continue to keep a close watch on this Asian powerhouse. The nation's demand for resources is a strong determinant of price direction.
iShares MSCI Italy Index Fund (EWI) -4.8%Europe's debt crisis has managed to steal back some headlines, causing investors to flee the most troubled of the currency bloc's constituents. EWI and iShares MSCI Spain Index Fund (EWP) are funds that represent some of the most at-risk nations in Europe right now and should be avoided entirely.

Feb. 8 (Bloomberg) -- Banco do Brasil SA's U.K. business may see loan growth of more than 10 percent this year as it steps in to serve clients affected by European banks curbing lending amid the region's debt crisis, according to Paulo Guimaraes, general manager of the London branch.
"We've seen a lot of opportunities, rather than crisis," Guimaraes said in an interview in London on Feb. 6. "Many banks have reduced exposure to some companies in Latin America so it's a good opportunity to replace them."
The combination of stricter capital requirements at banks and a preference for hoarding cash or buying government bonds instead of lending money to companies has reduced the supply of corporate loans from European banks.
Last year, Banco do Brasil's U.K. loan portfolio grew about 10 percent, according to Guimaraes. This year there is potential for stronger growth, he said. Guimaraes said Banco do Brasil doesn't disclose loan volume details for the U.K.
Banco do Brasil's U.K. operations finance Brazilian companies that trade with or have operations in Europe, as well as some European companies with clients or subsidiaries in Brazil, he said.
The bank's consolidated loan portfolio grew 21 percent to 442 billion reais in the third quarter of 2011 from a year earlier, according to the company's Nov. 3 earnings statement. The bank maintained its forecast for 15 percent to 18 percent loan growth in Brazil in 2011.

(We really do have to stop for a second and mention price. The Ford stickers at $141,245. That's about half the price of the Lambo and more than $300,000 less than either the Mercedes or the Porsche. That's if you can find one at sticker. We're seeing as much as a $75,000 premium on eBay-peddled GTs, which still makes entry into the 200-mph club a bargain.)
Lorio feels that the Ford is the easiest of our four to drive and the most like a racing car in looks, "a rather charming combination. Clutch and gearbox are super-easy. It's very American in that its engine gets the job done but isn't terribly sophisticated or exotic. It doesn't zoom to the redline or sing an aria, but it does rocket the car down the road." Rocket, indeed. Feeling too normal? Step on the throttle. The GT's 550-hp V-8 keeps things real.
Now, let's talk Porsche.
Lorio: "The sound of the Carrera GT revving its engine is straight out of pit lane at the Indy 500. There is absolutely nothing else like it."
Sherman: "The engine zings like a buzz saw, the steering is crisp and sure, the chassis grips as if tied to the road by steel cables. It makes all the sounds and swings that car enthusiasts live for."
Gillies: "Enough power to send you straight to jail for a long time. Fourth is good for 140 mph plus, so I don't know where you would ever see max revs in sixth. The Mulsanne, maybe?"
We love the Porsche. It's no secret that our affection begins with one of the most amazing engines ever to live in a production car. With 605 hp and 435 lb-ft of torque, it can be hard to stay on top of your moves. Step on it, and you've reached the redline. Upshift, and . . . you've reached the redline. Upshift again, and you can break the tires loose. Upshift again, and the power is still pouring on like nothing you've felt in your life except on a racetrack. The last thing on your mind will be to turn on the radio.
The quality of the Carrera GT's ride is astonishing, despite its monster wheels and tires, which do follow road grooves enough to notice. But it takes a real cow path to unnerve this car. Steering is alive in your hands, and lateral acceleration blows the others into the weeds.
It stops the way it goes-like, now-its nonmetallic brakes parking the Porsche eighteen feet shorter from 70 mph than its closest competitor, the SLR. Everything about the Carrera GT is intense, including how much fun it is to drive.
To be honest, your coolness can be compromised by the extremely touchy clutch. The recommended procedure is to let it out without touching the accelerator pedal, easing neatly away from a stop. But if you get a little nervous (say, at an uphill stop with maybe a Ford GT waiting close behind you), you might be tempted to give the accelerator a little goose. You will surely stall. Lorio suffers a worse lapse of cool when, upon stalling, he finds the just-delivered Carrera GT to have a dead battery and has to ask some locals for a push. He recovers because he is still in the Porsche, now bombing down the road, wondering "what the poor people were driving" that day, as dear departed Aunt Red used to say.
So this is the end of the story. Living large with an SLR would work if your backyard were the Virginia International Raceway. Otherwise, you'd do well to change into more sensible shoes to make this a daily driver. If you like the flashy looks and intend only to potter, you'll be happy.
Without the others around for comparison, the Murcilago looks exotic and sounds as if it could start mid-pack at Indy. It's a breeze to drive but a bitch to see out of around town. Still, it's a steal at $279,800.
Steal this. A Ford GT at $141,245 is an unbelievable opportunity to own, drive, and enjoy the hell out of a faithful rendition of the '60s Le Mans winners. As fast and strong as it is, the GT is also easy to drive and predictable at the limit. The drawbacks? Limited forward visibility and the need for a minivan chase vehicle to haul your cell phone, your hankie, and your briefcase.
The clear, unthreatened winner at any price is the Porsche Carrera GT, your own personal prototype, street-legal racer. Its striking presence will suck the air out of any parking lot. You will grow addicted to its monstrous power and revel in its everyday livability. You will surely endanger your driving privileges.
We are devastated to part with the Porsche at the close of day, but Sherman weaves us a rosy tale at bedtime:
"When very good boys and girls who love cars finally clear the Pearly Gates, one of these machines is waiting for them to enjoy. No cops, Virginia roads, engine warmed, fuel needle stuck on full."
Forever and ever.
Can we get an amen?

Wildfires continued raging through Florida during July, devouring land, homes and businesses. Residents in several counties were forced out of their homes, turning cities into ghost towns. Businesses were closed and tourism, usually at its height during the Independence holiday, was virtually non-existent. At presstime, hundreds of fires were burning throughout northern and eastern Florida. Central Florida, including the Orlando area, was largely unaffected by the blazes.

Hereditary ochronosis: Hyperpigmented skin overlying cartilaginous structures
1999; 63 (6): 337-338
Hereditary ochronosis, or alkaptonuria, results from deficiency of homogentisic acid oxidase. It is an autosomal recessive condition found in geographically isolated populations. The excess homogentisic acid deposits in collagenous structures, leading to unusual pigmentation of the skin overlying cartilaginous structures, but on occasion pigment is also seen in the sclera, in sweat after oxidation, and classically, in urine when left standing at room temperature. This case report highlights the pathogenesis and expression of this rare disorder.

Networks Finally Feeling the Pinch From the Writers' Strike
Just kidding. It's just their big May shindig isn't as big this year.
The broadcast network upfronts aren't going to be as extravagant as years past.
From Variety:
What's more, most of the five major broadcast networks — still reeling from the loss of revenue due to the strike — are dramatically scaling back the number of L.A. staffers they plan to send to Gotham next month. Some talent agencies have also cut back their upfront contingents, telling some younger agents they'll have to stay home this year.
"It's going to be slim pickings this year," one TV biz insider said. "Everything is being cut back."
