Running to Something New
Here in my hotel at the conference. Just me and the gang. Digging through my pockets looking for some loose change - come on lets hit the jackpot. Considering grabbing some drinks for the evening chill.
Todays video
Watch this:
Automobile fascination paired with spectacular race car design - that is the new Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3. The racing version of the SLS AMG has been conceived as a customer sport vehicle for participation in race series based on FIA GT3 regulations. Meticulous lightweight construction and optimized chassis, brakes and aerodynamics deliver uncompromising dynamics. The extra special SLS AMG will make its race track debut in 2011. The clean design and breathtaking form of the SLS AMG have been effectively accentuated by targeted modifications to the bodyshell. The new components, made largely from lightweight carbon fiber offer a clear indication of extraordinary race track performance and extensive aerodynamic development work.Mercedes SLS AMG GT3 walkaround

How to Save a Dying Ocean
Check this out:
The Gulf of Mexico continues to gush oil just as a whaling controversy threatens to land Australia and Japan in international court for killing protected species. Meanwhile, another less-publicized but arguably more cataclysmic oceanic disaster continues to worsen. Overfishing threatens to destroy most of the world's fisheries within a matter of decades. But while it's proven difficult to save the gulf or save the whales, we know how to save the fish: Stop treating the ocean like a public bathroom, says Christopher Costello, a professor of natural resource economics at UC Santa Barbara. Director Louis Psihoyos and his team of filmmakers embarked on an elaborate sting operation to expose Japan's illegal dolphin hunters. The result is a documentary called The Cove, which took home the Oscar for best documentary. And days after the Academy Awards Psihoyos was back stirring things up. Using the same cameras that were used to expose illegal dolphin hunters, Psihoyos and his team busted The Hump, a Santa Monica, California restaurant that had secretly been serving sushi made from the endangered sei whale. %26ampquot;Everything in the ocean from the great whales to dolphins to plankton is being jeopardized,%26ampquot; Psihoyos tells Reason.tv. %26ampquot;We're raping and harvesting the ocean unsustainably.%26ampquot; Overfishing %26ampquot;could mean the end of certain species,%26ampquot; agrees UC-Santa Barbara's Costello.
