Ferrari California
NYTimes:
The California is the company’s least expensive model by far. With a base price of less than $200,000 (as tested, $216,553), it is a relative bargain by Ferrari standards. Its standard features include a 453-horsepower V-8 engine (a detuned version of the F430’s power plant), a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, ceramic brakes and racing-inspired traction and launch controls that enable 3.5-second runs from a stop to 60 miles an hour.

NYTimes: The Nobel Committee announced Friday that the annual peace prize was awarded to Barack Obama, nine months into his presidency, "for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples." At left, Mr. Obama spoke on Friday after winning the prize.
“Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world’s attention and given its people hope for a better future,” the committee said in its citation. “His diplomacy is founded in the concept that those who are to lead the world must do so on the basis of values and attitudes that are shared by the majority of the world’s population.”

NYTimes: Confronting the Pacific Ocean in all its most imposing and treacherous grandeur is Devil's Slide, a two-mile ribbon of coastal road just ten miles south of San Francisco. However, this is an experience that has to be sampled soon. It's scheduled to be closed to cars in 2011 and to be replaced by tunnels.
