Burning Man is an eight-day-long annual festival that takes place in Black Rock City, Nevada. The event is described by organizers as an experiment in community, radical self-expression, and radical self-reliance and takes its name from the ritual of burning a large wooden sculpture of a man on the sixth day.

This year, the event was held from 27th August to 3rd September. The theme for 2007 is “The Green Man”, which anticipated the most participants ever, at 47,097.

The United States Mint has been working around the clock to turn out the first of its new series of Presidential Dollar coins for their debut today. The Mint introduced its new $1 George Washington gold coin yesterday, a day before being released to the public.

While the presidential coins are expected to be popular with collectors, the last dollar coin to be introduced, featuring Sacagawea, was not a success.

The new coin, which weighs 8 grams, will be much lighter in people’s pockets than four quarters would, said Edmund Moy, director of the Mint. The banks already have been given 300 million of the new coins and will start distributing them today.
