Fallas 2012 festivity is near, and you must plan your time now. We invite you to spend some days in Barcelona and then go to Fallas from here. It's a good plan!
The Fallas festivity burns away winter worries in a tribute to srping. As a pagan ritual originating in ancient Mediterranean cultures brought to the shores of Valencia in remote times, this artistic display totally transforms the city during what is called "Fallas Week". True to the saying, only those who have actually seen it can believe it. Some 700 fallas, or large and small papier-mâché monuments mounted over wooden frames, are burnt to cinders on 19th March in a tribute to St.Joseph, the patrón saint of carpenters, and to the coming of the spring solstice.
The huge Works of art called fallas can be described as authentic monuments of papier-mâché and polyurethane, built over wooden structures and conceived to embody pithy, good-humoured and sometimes sarcastic comments on daily life. Architecture and engineering dedicated to creating art of an ephemeral nature, something that takes place nowhere else in the world.
The "Cremà"
As a festival for all the senses, the Fallas culminate with the "Cremà", or burning of all the monuments, on 19th March. This fire ritual consumes a whole year of work, a whole year of dreams. At ten o'clock the children's fallas are set to the torch, amidst music and fireworks. At midnight, Valencia astonishes the entire world each year by burning its street monuments to ashes, ending with the fallas in the "special section", whose budgets are in the range of 120.000€ each. Throughout the city fireworks are set off and the flames consume the gigantic figurines as onlookers stand in silence, with eyes reflecting the red flames, amid crackling red-hot wood and showering sparks and thick smoke. Valencia is enveloped in a weird reddish-grey gloom, yet the music still plays, and more than a few eyes shed tears as the last farewells are said to the monumental spring offering.
This wholesale incineration culminates in the burning of the main falla in the Plaza del Ayuntamiento.
You can go to Fallas, but first you must visit Barcelona! We can help you with sleeping, giving you a room from only 14€!
Book at Be Hostels, it's a great idea!

Literal street art alert! Leave it to the pavement at Pasadena's Art Center to get all sassy on us.
Some faculty and staff parking spots at the Hillside Campus have new, playfully irreverent descriptors attached today. "Cat lady," "jaunty," "balding," "sensible shoes" and "name dropper," are among the tags.
A post on the school's Dotted Line blog suggests the display might be part of a mystery student's project. (Banksy 2.0?)
The open attitude toward creation is refreshing and indicative of an art school with this for a mission statement: "Learn to create. Influence change." Rather than chastising any "vandal," the cheeky, maybe-guerilla artwork gets a thumbs up and some public praise.
"It's pretty fun working at an art and design school," Lara Warren, Art Center's editor of online communications, notes in the blog post. Color us jealous.

As some of you may rememberback t Bragging Rights of 2010 The Undertaker had a buried alive match with kane for the World Heavyweight Title. At that time the group known as the Nexus was running around WWE beating the living hell out of whoever they wanted
.Now at the end of the match the Nexus came ot and attacked The Undertaker to help Kane get the win. This leaves only one question.

'What do we do about this $2,500?'
Witness says school officials met to determine how to account for payment to superintendent
Regarding follow-up discussions of campaign-finance forms, EcoBusiness Alliance lawyer Patrick Prindle said it was "highly unusual" for a school district's lawyer to discuss with officials their political disclosures, a campaign function.
"I genuinely wish I could say I was surprised by the revelation that the school's counsel met with board members, contriving a scheme to provide cover for Mr. Paul," Prindle said. "Indeed, doing so would appear to be an improper gift of public funds."
At his June deposition, Paul said the money was for campaign signs for Hernandez, who was facing voters in November 2010 along with Wells and Romero.
"It was cash given to me by Mr. Loreto Romero," Paul testified. "He gave me cash for campaign posters for Mrs. Yolanda Hernandez."
Paul went on to testify that he took the money to a Tijuana print shop to pay for campaign signs. Under additional questioning, Paul said he received no receipt.
According to the new Maden deposition, given Jan. 30, Paul repeatedly spoke with Shinoff, trustees and Maden over the next weeks, a process ending up with the refiled forms.
In early August, Wells, Romero and Hernandez all amended their 2010 campaign filings to reflect donations of campaign signs totaling $1,897.
A receipt from the Studio K print shop in Tijuana for $1,401 accompanied the amendment. It was dated five months before Paul says he met with Loreto Romero and listed Maden as the buyer.
"Did that come as a surprise to you, that your name was on this form?" Prindle asked in the deposition.
"Yes," answered Maden, who is married to former board member Raquel Marquez-Maden.
It remains unclear why the receipt amounts to $1,401.
"Somebody didn't do the math right, correct?" Prindle asked Maden in the deposition.
"That would be my understanding," Maden replied.
Maden told the Watchdog this week, "My takeaway from the meeting was that the board members were provided information that suggested that their forms were incorrect in both amounts of the value of the in-kind contribution and the source of that contribution. While there may have been some doubt in their mind based on two-year-old recollections, they had no substantive proof to the contrary so they amended their forms in good faith based on the best information that was available to them.They were doing what they thought they needed to, to be compliant."
The district's lawyer, who sat in on the deposition, objected repeatedly that Prindle was leading the witness and was inappropriately invading attorney-client privilege.
In response to a question for this story, Shinoff reminded the Watchdog of Prindle's motives.
"As you may know the plaintiff in the case in question is seeking approximately $18 million dollars from the district," Shinoff said.

We're taking on all challengers and even going fishing for some big dogs with our balls-to-the-wall, no frills '72 Nova. It's being built for speed and absolutely nothing else.
Who says you need a Camaro to go fast? I live in Jersey and despise the Yankees. I want nothing to do with the beach or tropical islands and avoid clubs like the plague. What am I getting at? A third-generation Nova built for the road course is something you don't come across everyday in these parts. Similar in weight and slightly longer in wheelbase than its more popular brother, the Nova has revamped its image from the red-headed stepchild to worthy adversary in only a few short years. But most around here are built for straight-line acceleration only.
We started to conceptualize our Nova last November and decided to build a pro-touring car above all, something that we can take to any road course or autocross and come out a champion. Power will be provided by a GM Performance Parts LSX warhead. Stopping power is coming from one of the best in the business, Baer Brakes. Our front and rear suspension is from Speed Tech Performance, a relative newcomer that is making waves with its new torque-arm design.
Last issue, we teased you with the installation of Detroit Speed & Engineering mini-tubs in the very same Nova we are transforming into a road racing rocket ship. This issue, we'll show you the concept and even get rockin' and rollin' on the assembly of the complete front suspension from Speed Tech. But before we do, let me explain some of the plans that have my painter, body guy, and interior shop up in arms.
In my pursuit of speed and cornering, I am doing away with some of the very essentials the Pro Touring crowd has come to love. Taking a page from drag racing heritage, we will be installing solid body mounts up front rather than using polyurethane. Will this help in the corners? Not really sure, but we will find out. We will not be installing any sort of sound deadening material to take away from the awesome rumble we expect to emanate from our 400-plus cubic inch powerplant.
The back seat has gone bye-bye since the chrome-moly rollbar makes it near impossible to get to the rear anyway. We called up some friends at Auto Metal Direct and picked up an aluminum hood for added weight savings. Stereo systems are for street cars, as are heat and air conditioning so we left those products on the shelf and saved ourselves approximately 150 pounds. I would like to see this car around the 3,100-pound mark when we hit the track.
In the first part of this intense build, we'll be assembling Speed Tech's front suspension, complete with tubular control arms, QA1 double adjustable coilover shocks, a Unisteer rack-and-pinion, American Touring Specialties AFX spindles, and LSX conversion kit.
The bonuses of this complete suspension kit are 10-fold over a stock setup, including box-frame construction, added adjustability, weight savings, and high-clearance control arms. Follow along as we take the first step towards the podium.
Speed Tech Performance, a division of Killer Customs, is hitting the pro touring aftermarket with authority thanks in part to its torque arm rear suspension and matching front subframe for the '67-69 Camaro and now for the '68-72 Nova. We received our front suspension powdercoated and ready for assembly. A direct replacement for stock, the box-frame construction provides much-needed strength and will accept all other aftermarket suspension components.
Made of 1.25-inch tubing, Speed Tech's tubular upper control arms are mandrel bent and machined to exact tolerances. Positive caster is built in to improve handling and suspension geometry. The lower control arms are made to match out of 1.5-inch seamless tubing and are powdercoated from the factory. These lowers are designed to accept the standard coil springs and shocks or QA-1 coilovers. Both the uppers and lowers have Acetron squeak-free bushings and come with all the hardware for installation.

|Tofu University
Starring Nasoya
Tofu, also known as bean curd, is an age–old staple in many Asian cuisines. It originated in ancient China. Historians believe that its popularity coincided with the spread of Buddhism, due to the Buddhist emphasis on a vegetarian diet. Tofu has a subtle flavor, and actually takes on the flavor of just about any sauce or marinade. It is low in calories, has substantial amounts of protein, and contains minimal fat.
Nasoya is our tofu brand of choice. We buy only organic tofu in various textures for various purposes. Recently we tried Nasoya's Organic TofuPlus line – tofu with added vitamins including B2, B6, B12, D and Calcium. We like the idea of extra nutrition, especially when it tastes and looks the same as basic organic tofu. All Nasoya tofu products are certified OK kosher, parve.
Welcome to Tofu 101:

Our sizing is easy!
We still use the European way of sizing by height in centimeters because it's easy and makes good sense - since every child grows at their own pace all you need to do is measure their height for a good fit.
There's no need to "buy big."
Our clothes have plenty of growth room, so go ahead and order the correct size on our chart - there's no need to "buy big." We can't stress this enough! Whether you choose an item that's prewashed or one that has shrinkage built in, every hanna garment is designed for a good fit with room for growth.
How to use our size chart:
Just measure your child from the top of the head to the floor in inches, then use the chart to convert to centimeters. Call us with any questions and we'll be happy to help you get the right fit.
Height is the one and only measure you need to order hannas - we can't stress this enough - measure the height for a good fit.
Weight may be helpful if a child is above or below average weight.
Age isn't nearly as accurate as using the height (since kids all grow at different rates!). It's helpful when sending out-of-town gifts.
Our pure organic cotton hannas are one way we can touch the future right now. Organics nurture kids sensitive skin with supersoft purity, while caring for farmers and our earth with non-toxic ecosystems. They're grown without chemical pesticides or fertilizers, and have no genetically modified organisms. Our commitment to organics is seven million supersoft-and-cozy pieces strong, and just like kids, it's growing every minute.
This is good for everybody. Over 60% of all hannas are Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 certified, which means they're tested down to the very last strand of thread for over 100 harmful substances, using strict European certification standards. We agree with the fan who said, "Oeko-Tex® 100 equals 100 fewer things to worry about!" Our certification number is 03.U.9375 - FI Hohenstein.
If you're unhappy with a product at any time for any reason, just bring or send it back to us, and we'll refund the purchase price or replace the item. It's as simple as that.

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

The Dangers of Our Budget-Deficit Minuet
The day after Barack Obama was re-elected, the Dow Jones lost 312.96 points. It wasn't just that investors were hoping for the lower taxes and further deregulation that would have come with a Romney win. The news from Europe was bad, and pundits were obsessively focused on the "fiscal cliff" of mandatory budget cuts that will drive the economy into a new recession unless Congress jumps off its own budgetary cliff first.
For once, the markets are right. But the news from Europe entirely contradicts conventional assumptions about the fiscal cliff.
Greece, which has dutifully cut its budget as demanded by the leaders of the European Union and the European Central Bank, is deeper in depression than ever. The latest reports show that its economy has shrunk by more than 20 percent over four years and that the more that it cuts its deficit, the more its national debt grows.
How can that be? Budget cutting in a depression just deepens the depression. The deeper the depression, the less revenue the government takes in.
So if the United States does not want to "become like Greece," cutting the deficit in a still-depressed economy is the wrong way to go.
The ravages of Hurricane Sandy, with rising oceans forecasted to worsen in coming years, suggests that we will need to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on rebuilding coastal infrastructure—a policy that will also create jobs and stimulate a recovery.
But the deficit-reduction minuet is proceeding as if Sandy never happened.
President Obama and House Speaker John Boehner are on track to cut a deal that Wall Street has been slavering over for a decade—a small dollop of revenue increases, mainly through loophole closings, coupled with massive spending cuts including in Social Security in Medicare, adding up to $4 trillion to $5 trillion of budget cuts over a decade.
Obama is convinced that this sort of grand bargain is necessary because financial markets expect it. Yet the same financial markets are happy to lend the government money for 30 years at less than 3 percent interest.
If Obama and the Republicans do make such a deal, growth will slow to a trickle.
Ironically, the president, having humiliated the Republicans on Election Day, holds most of the cards.
He can declare that he has no intention of cutting Social Security or Medicare and instead propose new must-pass infrastructure legislation. And he can insist that any budget deal needs to include higher taxes on the rich. (California Governor Jerry Brown just demonstrated that such a stance is good politics. The initiative that he sponsored and worked for, raising taxes on the rich to increase funding for California's public schools, was approved by the voters.)
Time is on Obama's side. On January 1, taxes increase on everybody, and automatic spending cuts of $1.2 billion kick in. He needs to set up the Republicans to take the blame because of their wildly unpopular conditions for a deal. Bill Clinton, who won a similar game of chicken with Newt Gingrich in 1996, can give Obama lessons in the art of the bluff.
Re-elected presidents often face a jinx in their second terms. The worst possible start for President Obama would be to agree to a deal that harms the economy and sells out the people who just re-elected him.
If there is one thing worse than a fiscal cliff, it is a fiscal cave. This is no time for Obama to cave into Republican and Wall Street pressure for a budget deal that will leave history to remember him as the Democrat who presided over eight years of a depressed economy.

Good point! There is no fiscal "cliff" in the sense that there was a possible (and thankfully AVOIDED, contrary to deniers) "cliff" on January 1, 2000 with the Y2K computer bug. The effects will begin gradually, and as long as the President makes it clear (perhaps weekly "fireside chats" leading up to the SOTU address) that THEY are responsible for allowing the deadline to pass, and continuing to stall after it passed, the GOP will be forced to cave, not the President and Democrats. Of course, to be credible, he will have to go through the motions of negotiating, but he must stick to the position of repealing the top bracket of the Bush tax cuts, but not the others, and keeping Medicare and Medicaid cuts to a minimum.

Obama's definition of compromise has always been, and probably always will be, that Republicans should give him whatever he wants. After the election results I don't expect we'll suddenly see him willing to bargain with John Boehner. Nor will he be much inclined to listen to the market. Obama's a big believer in my way or the highway.

This article cites the shrinking Greece economy is a reult spending cuts...that is simplistic and BS...the cuts are required because they can't afford to pay for the cut programs (and most of them are entitlemements)...the country is going bankrupt. The money they would be spending if they could would be monopoly money. The austerity measures they are taking is cutting the government entitlements and that is impact the masses. But they have to do this or they wouldn't get any cash infusion from the EU. Now, we are going to the same crossroads...we need to cut spending and take a little hurt now or let this spending continue unchecked and entitlements grow to to unsustainable levels, and we'll be in the place that Greece is in...we have no money to pay our bills and no one is willing to buy our debt unless we cut costs. Try to get the rationale right for what is happening in Europr. Greece spending more money won't get them out of trouble..their problem is they spent so much money that they have no money to spend.

Buckeye's Green Home Building Program was adopted by Town Council on May 6, 2008 and encourages sustainable construction for residential dwellings. It is customized to provide guidelines for environmentally responsible building in the Sonoran Desert region by incorporating healthy, resource- and energy-efficient materials and methods in the design and construction of dwellings.
The program's goals are to reduce the carbon footprint of dwelling units during construction and after; by using sustainable building structural systems, techniques and appliances for both the short and long-term savings of energy, water and other natural resources; and to provide a healthier indoor environment.
Incentives include expedited plan review, free project construction water, and family Aquatic Center Passes and a Green Home Certificate of Occupancy. Proposed Green Building projects are reviewed and inspected as part of the Town's development process. For instance, a green building permit is issued for construction after a compliant plan review, a green inspection card is used by the Town building inspectors along with a builder verified checklist during construction and the green "certificate of occupancy" is issued upon approved completion of the project.
The Green Home Rating Checklist contains the point system used to qualify projects as green homes. Projects must meet all mandatory measures (adjusting the rating for house size) and then can qualify at Silver level (50-99 points) or at the Gold level (100+ points) using the rating checklist.

Côte-d'Or is one of the original 83 departments created during the French Revolution on March 4, 1790. It was formed from part of the former province of Burgundy.
A chain of hills called the Plateau de Langres runs from north-east to south-west through the department to the north of Dijon and continues south-westwards as the Côte d'Or escarpment, which is named from the department's name. It is the south-east facing slope of the escarpment which is the site of the celebrated Burgundy vineyards. To the west of the Plateau de Langres, towards Champagne, lies the densely wooded district of Châtillonais. To the south-east of the plateau and escarpment, the department lies in the broad, flat-bottomed valley of the middle course of the Saône.
Rivers include:
The climate of the department is temperate, with abundant rain on the west side of the central range.
This is a premier wine-growing region of France. Other crops include cereal grains and potatoes. Sheep and cattle are also raised in the department. The region is famous for its Dijon mustard.
There are coal mines and heavy industry, including steel, machinery, and earthenware. The industries most developed in Côte-d'Or are
The big works are generally in the conurbation of Dijon although biggest (CEA Valduc) is at Salives in the Plateau de Langres. There is also the SEB metal works at Selongey below the plateau on the margin of the Saône plain and the Valourec metalworking group at Montbard in the west of the départment on the River Brenne near its junction with the Armançon. The Pharmaceutical industry has shown the greatest growth in recent years. However, since the Dijon employment statistics zone includes the urban and administrative centre of the Burgundy region, the service sector is proportionately bigger there in relation to the industrial, than in the other three zones of Côte-d'Or.

I only have a filter for people who do not consistently beg to be belittled, ridiculed, insulted, and demeaned.

MB, what do you plug it into at home? A regular socket or Did you have to have something special installed at home to charge it?
Saw $2.95 here today.
I got some for $2.93 today. That was the Sam's Club member price, so one should probably not consider it a representative sample. Still, Sam's is typically only about a nickel lower than the best non-membership prices in the area, and occasionally even gets undercut, so it's probably not much of an outlier.
Actually it doesn't. One could conceivably be all-powerful but not exceptionally intelligent.

How to make a 1000mph wheel
Top Gear visits a German factory to see wheel technology reach new heights...
Posted: 05 Aug 2013
Like a druidic medieval sacrifice, the blacksmith ceremonially lays the quarter-tonne lump of metal atop the flaming iron slab. Another smithy, squinting into the flames, cranks down his press, crushing the near-molten cylinder of pure aluminium into the shape of a beer barrel. Deftly, the first man grabs the barrel between a pair of giant forceps, spinning it through 90 degrees before the press comes crashing down again, flattening the metal once more. Over and over they go, the two men, peering through the steam and smoke, one flipping, the other pressing until, half an hour later, the metal is forged to a perfect disc, a metre across but just 15 centimetres tall.
It's all decidedly... Victorian. OK, so the blacksmith's press is a 3,600-tonne hydraulic monster, and his forceps are attached to the front of a decidedly nifty forklift-truck contraption, but still, this is manual labour - albeit awesomely skilled manual labour - with not a precision-guided laser nor microprocessor in sight.
This is how the world's fastest, most technologically advanced set of wheels is made: the wheels for Bloodhound, Richard Noble's land-speed-record car that, all being well, should do 1,000mph in the hands of Wing Commander Andy Green on South Africa's Hakskeen Pan; wheels that must withstand forces more extreme than any wheel has ever withstood before.
"This car is a cross between a fast fighter jet, an F1 car, a spaceship, a boat and a missile," explains Conor La Grue, former Royal Navy weapons engineer and now Bloodhound's lead commercial engineer. "And as a single component in Bloodhound, the wheel is the most complicated. This is the most advanced wheel in the world."
Hang on, asks TopGear naively. Isn't a wheel a wheel? Make it round, make it reasonably strong, job done? Afraid not, says Conor: any existing wheel would be instantly destroyed by the mind-boggling forces of a 1,000mph run. As it hits four figures, Bloodhound's rims will be spinning 10,200 times per minute: 170 revolutions every second, more than four times quicker than an F1 car's wheels will ever rotate. That means inconceivable centrifugal pull acting on the wheel's outer edges, exposing the rims to 50,000 times the force of gravity.
"If you took a piece of string the length of the radius of the wheel, tied a kilogramme bag of sugar to it and spun it 10,000 times a minute," explains Andy Green, "the bag of sugar would exert a load equivalent to 50 tonnes. More than a fully laden articulated lorry. It's a big number. And, of course, we're not looking at one bag of sugar, we're looking at 100 of them - because the finished wheel will weigh around 100kg. So the loads are phenomenal." A normal wheel would either deform like a doughnut from the hub, or shatter to pieces.
Bad news during a land-speed-record run. A broken wheel wouldn't only render Bloodhound lethally undrivable, but its fragments would instantly become ballistic missiles. "At 1,000mph, a quarter of a wheel has the equivalent energy of 300 tonnes," says Conor. "If a piece comes off, it's going straight through our monocoque, straight through the engine, straight out the back of the car. And straight through Andy on the way."
So Bloodhound's wheels have to be phenomenally, unprecedentedly strong. Which explains the rather industrial forging process we've just witnessed. Wouldn't it, TopGear asks, be better to pour the molten metal into, erm, a wheel-shaped mould? Conor shakes his head. That process - known as casting - is quicker, cheaper, more efficient and entirely fine for normal wheels: you know, the sort capable of a mere 300 or 400mph. But the microscopic cracks that form as a cast wheel cools would become fatal weaknesses when subjected to 1,000mph forces. In the forging process, however, the 'grain' of the metal follows the shape of the wheel, meaning - at the molecular level - a far stronger, more uniform structure. Especially if it's been forged by Fuchs, the company most famous for making lovely wheels for old Porsche 911s.
As well as manufacturing tens of thousands of posh alloys each year, Fuchs also forges the finest aerospace components on the planet, including the nearest things to a Bloodhound wheel: compressor discs for jet engines.
The Bloodhound wheel makes jet fighters look simple. It starts with many tonnes of pure aluminium, which comes sloshing down the autobahn to Fuchs's Rhineland headquarters in molten form in the back of a tanker. Imagine if there was a crash. It'd be like a pastoral remake of The Terminator. Liquid metal safely received, Fuchs cranks it up to 700°C before adding alloying elements to create a brand-new super-strong metal, codenamed 70-37. A development of the alloy used in furthest aerospace, it's even hardier: the toughest aluminium ever created, in fact.
Once cool, this Popeye-spec alloy is cut into giant cylinders, four foot high by two foot across, which are popped into the oven until they're a toasty 400°C and as pliable as bread dough. Then they're subjected to the bashing, crushing, squeezing process TG has just witnessed. So hot and dense is the metal that the cheese, as the shaped disc is known, has to cool for an entire day before it can be handled. Over the next few days, Fuchs will forge some 18 cheeses for Bloodhound, enough for two full sets, a few spares and some wiggle room in case any emerge less than perfect.
Oh, but there's more. After forging, the cheeses are heat-treated and cold-compressed under 20,000 tonnes of weight. Then they're artificially aged, frozen, machined and inspected ultrasonically. "There are layers on layers of process. If Bloodhound were an onion, it'd be 400 miles across and have its own moon," nods Conor.
There's good reason for such diligence: at 1,000mph, even the smallest lumps of inanimate desert become bullets. Though volunteers have cleared some 6,000 tonnes of stone from the Hakskeen Pan, its surface is still covered in gravelly shards, impacting Bloodhound's wheels at supersonic pace. To find out what damage they might do during a record run, the Bloodhound team scooped up a few bags of Hakskeen Pan top layer, shipped them back to Britain... and then went about finding a gun capable of firing the 'sabos' into the wheels at 1,000mph to see what damage they'd do to the alloy. "We looked right at the bottom of the impact areas, and there wasn't even the beginning of a crack," says Conor.
Which will, we suspect, come as a relief to Mr Green. But there's more testing to be done before these wheels can be bolted to Bloodhound. The team must spin a test wheel up to 10,000rpm, to check it doesn't distort, explode or plunge humanity into a parallel dimension. Which presents a couple of tiny issues: first, finding a facility capable of spinning a wheel fast enough, and, second, convincing its owner it's a good idea. "If we had a failure, we'd destroy the test facility," grins Conor. And the surrounding county, TopGear suspects.
But before that, the cheeses must be machined into, well, wheels. And for that they must head to the Castle Precision facility in Glasgow, where they'll be cut and finished to micrometre accuracy. So tight is the Bloodhound's schedule that the first cheese - forged the previous day, now compressed, machined and packaged up on a wooden pallet - has to be in Scotland by close of play this evening.

President's Speeches and Remarks
October 4, 2002
Good afternoon. I'm Barry Mills, president of the College. It's a pleasure to welcome faculty, students, parents, and friends to these exercises during which we will recognize students who have distinguished themselves as Sarah and James Bowdoin Scholars. A special welcome to those of you out there who have earned this important distinction. All of us are proud of you and your achievements and I look forward to congratulating each of you.
Our recognition of Sarah and James Bowdoin Scholars goes back sixty years to 1941. Of course, we know that the College was all men in those days and that this day was originally named exclusively for James Bowdoin III. In 1997, the College, by faculty vote, determined that it was appropriate to reestablish this tradition in the name of James Bowdoin and Sarah, his wife, certainly partially in recognition of the fact that the College was then, as now, a place where men and women come as students and faculty to study, teach, and learn.
The Honorable James Bowdoin III lived from 1752 until 1811. He was the son of James Bowdoin II for whom the College is named. The father -- James II -- was a Revolutionary War hero well remembered for his role in putting down Shay's Rebellion who was later twice elected governor of Massachusetts. He was a very successful entrepreneur, especially in maritime business dealings and as a member of the elite business society of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts -- which, in those days, included the District of Maine. James II -- who along with John Adams, John Hancock, and others founded the American Academy of Arts and Sciences -- was also a man with a profound interest in learning.
Let's just say that his son, James III, known as Jemmy, was -- as sons can sometimes be -- more of a free spirit than his father. Less the serious student and businessman and more one of America's first connoisseurs of life, culture, and politics, both in the Americas and abroad. During his lifetime, he acquired a substantial library, a significant art collection, and an impressive array of scientific materials, for which we at the College are the inheritors. His art collection was the genesis of the art treasures still accessible to us all within the walls of our glorious Walker Art Building. In 1794, it was $1,000 and 1,000 acres of land from this generous diplomat, agriculturist, and art collector that started us off on our noble mission.
Sarah Bowdoin Dearborn traveled to London and Paris from 1805 and 1808 with James III when James served with President Jefferson in Europe. The Bowdoins operated out of Paris and Sarah and kept a journal (which can be found in Special Collections here at Bowdoin) documenting the daily life of the family. Sarah and James, it appears, flourished in this community, entertaining Americans living in Paris and important friends of America. Sarah's journal indicates that she was very much involved in the collecting life of the couple and we therefore also owe her a deep debt of gratitude for the treasures we have inherited at the College.
So, today we remember our founders and meet to celebrate and congratulate the Sarah and James Bowdoin Scholars sitting among us. How does one earn this honor? By achieving one measure of academic success here at Bowdoin measured by grade point average. The scholars sitting among us are the Bowdoin students who in the prior academic year achieved a grade point average in their course of study that places them in the top 20% of the class. That's not an easy thing to accomplish. It takes hard work and dedication, for which each of these students and each parent can and should be particularly proud.
This sense of pride is shared by the College because these young men and women represent what Bowdoin is all about. The College has been blessed with a talented faculty and the resources to provide an enormous range of learning opportunities for our students, whether in the classroom, residence hall, athletic field, studio, laboratory, or library. But we intentionally make relatively few choices for students, instead expecting them to choose their own paths. I'm proud to say that there are few spectators on this campus, only participants. Participants in the great liberal arts tradition and in the rigorous pursuit of academic excellence that is at our core.
But beyond promoting scholarship and rewarding academic achievement, we must remember that a college like Bowdoin exists also to open young minds to a world that grows more complicated and more confusing each year, and at a far more rapid pace than what many of us have known before. The education we seek to provide is more than information. It is also fostering a subtlety of mind and spirit firmly grounded in intellectual reasoning and ethical conduct. It is a community of informed individuals studying and living together that allows residential liberal arts colleges to enable our students to develop judgment and sensitivity. Last year we met just after the horrible events of September 11. This year we have been rocked by financial scandal and significant breeches of legal and ethical standards by corporate America. As each of us considers the difficult and confusing times we face as a nation and as a society, it is this ability to consider other points of view, to understand and embrace differences, and to seek constructive change that builds confidence and offers the best hope for our future. It is the unique character of this residential liberal arts college that allows us to create a community that is grounded in sound judgment -- a sense of what it means to make the right decision -- personally and professionally. These young men and women -- and many alumni who have come before them -- are the embodiment of that hope.
And so, to these students, I offer my congratulations but also, I urge you to recommit yourselves to another year of academic achievement. I encourage you to sit elbow to elbow with your professors doing independent studies, honors projects and the like, to sharpen your powers of analysis, critical reasoning, and ability to communicate while you learn the content, imagery, and subtlety of academic disciplines in the most creative, imaginative, critical, and passionate way possible. In doing so, you not only strengthen your minds and your abilities. You also strengthen your ties to this College, underscore its mission, and join a proud inheritance that runs 208 years from Sarah and James Bowdoin to today.
Thank you and congratulations.

Life in the Frack Pit: The Microbiology of Unconventional Shale Gas Extraction
The extraction of natural gas from unconventional shale gas deposits has grown considerably in the last decade through the combination of horizontal drilling technology and hydraulic fracturing. The Marcellus Shale is a shale deposit formed from an inland sea 390 million years ago that is rich in organics, and the development of this gas play has provided water and increased surface area for microbial colonization in the formation. The condensate tanks and impoundments are also natural incubators for microbial activity. Molecular analyses coupled with enrichment culture have revealed that the produced water from the Marcellus shale has a unique microbiota dominated by halophilic species. This presentation will provide an overview of the processes involved in and the microbiology associated with unconventional gas extraction.
Microbial Transformation of Arsenic: New Twists for an Old Poison
Arsenic is notorious as a poison with acute doses causing death and chronic exposures resulting in a wide range of maladies. Nevertheless, there are many microorganisms that are not only resistant to arsenic's toxic properties, but may metabolize inorganic and organic forms. Some may even use it to generate energy. Over the past two decades, a robust biogeochemical cycle has been elucidated that involves arsenate reduction and arsenite oxidation, as well as methylation and demethylation. As(V) is a potent electron acceptor used by a phylogenetically diverse assortment of Bacteria and Archaea. As(III) has been shown to serve as an electron donor in photolithoautotrophy and chemolithoautotrophy. Distinct enzymes are involved in arsenic resistance (Ars) and methylation. Three different enzymes have been described for energy generation: arsenite oxidase Aox, respiratory arsenate reductase Arr, and Arx, an arsenic oxidoreductase that looks more like Arr but functions as an As(III) oxidase. This presentation will cover microbial arsenic metabolism and its implications for both the evolution of life on Earth, as well as other planetary systems.
Microbes, Minerals and Metals: A Microbial View of the Periodic Table
Microbial activity is responsible for the transformation of almost a third of the elements of the periodic table. These transformations are the result of assimilatory, dissimilatory or detoxification processes and form the base of most biogeochemical cycles. These activities can result in the production of nanomaterials, biominerals, and mineral deposits. This lecture will give an overview of microbial arsenic, selenium, chromium, and iron biomineralization as well as the processes involved in the biogenesis of modern marine stromatolites.
Stromatolites: Over 3.5 Billion Years of "Geobiological" Interactions
Laminated carbonate sedimentary deposits called stromatolites were widespread prior to the Cambrian and provide evidence for the appearance of life and its early evolution. Although limited in global distribution today, living stromatolites are surprisingly abundant in the warm waters of the Caribbean. Their biogenesis has been found to involve several different surface microbial communities and different sedimentary processes (e.g., trapping, binding, lithification). This lecture will describe work on the living stromatolites and laminated microbial communities found in the intertidal waters and ponds on islands in the Exumas.
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH – John F. Stolz
Dr. Stolz's interests are in fundamental questions in microbial ecology as well as the application of unique microbial species for bioremediation. Three major areas of interest of his group are: 1) the ecophysiology, biochemistry, and molecular biology of dissimilatory metal reducing bacteria, 2) the ecophysiology of phototrophic prokaryotes, and 3) bioremediation. Dr. Stolz is well known for his work on microbes, minerals, and metals, with particular emphasis on anaerobic respiration with novel alternative electron acceptors. Respiration using alternative terminal electron acceptors, such as arsenic and selenium oxyanions, is a relatively new discovery and Stolz is a pioneer in the isolation and characterization (i.e., physiology and 16S rRNA) of arsenate- and selenate- respiring bacteria, development of molecular and biochemical probes to identify these species in nature and animal systems, and the characterization of novel terminal reductases (i.e., Nap, DAsR, and DSeR).

They say it's your birthday…
Recently, I took a whirlwind trip to New York City to celebrate my daughter's birthday, and we had a wonderful time. It was a nice departure from the usual birthday party and it got me thinking about birthday traditions. I did a little research on this annual event and found some pretty interesting origins and cultural variations in tradition.
Did you know that birthday parties may have started in Europe as a way to protect the celebrant from evil spirits? People believed that you were more vulnerable to being attacked by evil spirits on your birthday, so all your family and friends would make it their purpose to surround you all day in order to keep you safe. There are so many beautiful birthday traditions all over the world, and in case someone you love has a birthday coming up, I'll give you a few of my favorites. Why not try something new?
Brazil: In Brazil you pull on the Birthday Boy/Girl's earlobe for every year they have been alive, and sometimes once more for good luck. Ouch!
Canada: You grease the celebrant's nose with butter or margarine, this way they are too slippery for the bad spirits to catch. This tradition has it's origin in Scotland.
Denmark: A flag is flown outside the house to designate that someone in the household has a birthday that day. For children, parents place the child's presents around their bed so that is the first thing they see when they get up in the morning.
England: A Fortune Cake is made, which is a regular cake with small symbolic tokens baked into it. If someone get's a coin in their slice of cake, then they are destined to be rich.
Korea: On a child's first birthday, she/he is placed in front of a table of foods and objects, such as a string, brushes, ink and money. Whatever the child chooses from the table determines his/her fortune. Food represents that they will never know hunger, the string represents longevity, money represents riches and the brush and ink represent intelligence.
South Africa: On a person's 21st birthday, their parents give them a key. This key symbolizes the young person's readiness to unlock the door to their future.
Sweden: Traditionally, Swedish children are served breakfast in bed. Parents surprise the children by singing a traditional Swedish birthday song and bringing a birthday breakfast and gifts to the birthday child. The breakfast typically includes a hot roll with a candle in it and a beverage.
Vietnam: In Vietnam, everyone's birthday is celebrated on New Year's Day!
So, what do you think? Have you been inspired to switch up any of your usual birthday traditions & if so, where will you start?
