Mercedes customers demand that firm come clean over engine fault
Luxury car-maker Mercedes-Benz faces huge embarrassment over a revolutionary new engine, with thousands of customers reporting that their vehicles have broken down.
The German firm has so far not issued a formal notice to buyers of certain E-class and C-class cars, which can cost between £30,000 and £75,000, that the vehicles may have a fault. But with the number of breakdowns rising, the car-maker may be pressed to come clean about the extent of the problem.
The fault concerns fuel injection systems on an all-new diesel engine, which was hailed as having undergone some of the most rigorous testing ever conducted by a car-maker.
It is thought that in Germany at least 2,800 customers have returned their cars for repair. Latest figures for the UK are about 550 vehicles.
One Mercedes engineer estimated that, worldwide, up to 50,000 vehicles may have to be repaired, which is a blow for a company which prides itself on reliability and quality.
The faulty fuel injectors, made by the giant US-based component company Delphi, were part of a new generation of "greener" diesel engines. Problems with the injector's electrical system mean cars either go into emergency mode, restricting speeds to about 47mph, or fail completely and the cars stop.
British Mercedes' customer Frances Thapar, whose E-class stalled completely, said that the carmarker should be more proactive. "We understand that thousands of cars are affected. Mercedes should be making an announcement to forewarn people."
The OM 651 engines were launched last year in a blaze of publicity, with Mercedes saying that the powerplant set new standards in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
The engine and fuel injector underwent 10 million kilometres of testing in temperature conditions ranging from the burning desert to the arctic environment.
A Mercedes spokesman denied that there was an attempt to play down the problem: "When the fault occurs it is dealt with, while other cars can be checked when they are serviced."

'ARST ARSW' Rebuilds 'Star Wars' in Alphabetical Order (Video)
The 43-minute video rearranges the dialogue from the original "Star Wars" into alphabetical order.
Sure, you've seen Star Wars many times before, but you've probably never seen it in alphabetical order. ARST ARSW will fix that for you.
As Google engineer Tom Murphy VII explained to WIRED, it took him 42 hours to create a 43 minute video that recuts the original Star Wars so that the dialogue appears in alphabetical order, from the 201 uses of the word "a" to the lone "zone."
STORY: Josh Trank to Direct 'Star Wars' Stand-Alone Film
If you're wondering what the point of such a video is, Murphy said that it is "meant to be provocative in its uselessness," adding that he "[doesn't] really know where it came from. I like to think of stuff like music or a book or Wikipedia or a movie as data — how can you take that and play around with it?"
Murphy said that it took him 30 hours ("Maybe more than that, actually… I wasn't really keeping track") to manually login each word of dialogue in the movie, including a timestamp for when each word was uttered. From there, a program re-assembled the entire movie into alphabetical order, with the result being something that is at once both familiar and alien, providing an unexpected makeover to George Lucas' first installment of the now-mammoth franchise at a time when everyone is buzzing about next year's seventh movie.

Redskins mailbag: Long-suffering fans ask about all things Robert Griffin III
The rest of the Redskins's season seems to be about Robert Griffin III. Mike Jones answers a rack of reader questions about his future, what's gone wrong and more.
The rest of the Redskins's season seems to be about Robert Griffin III. Mike Jones answers a rack of reader questions about his future, what's gone wrong and more.
Coach Jay Gruden said on Monday that he understands the frustrations that his wide receivers are dealing with.
Jay Gruden has a tough call to make on whether to stick with Robert Griffin III, and four more observations from Sunday's loss to the 49ers.
After Alfred Morris's 125-yard day, Coach Jay Gruden concedes that running game must carry Washington's offense going forward.
Redskins Coach Jay Gruden lamented another shaky showing from his passing game as he praised a gutsy performance from his defense after Washington's 17-14 loss to San Francisco.
Hall of fame quarterback Steve Young this week during a radio interview said that Robert Griffin III's former coaches have told him that a lot of the third-year pro's struggles can be attributed to sub-par work ethic when it comes to perfecting his craft.
Two days after blasting quarterback Robert Griffin III for "fundamental flaws" in the loss to Tampa Bay, Redskins coach Jay Gruden expressed regret over his blunt assessment.
A tight-lipped Robert Griffin III refused to share his thoughts on the harsh criticism his head coach directed at him on Monday, and also declined to elaborate on what areas of his fundamentals he will try to improve. The quarterback has only one focus: San Francisco.
Former Washington Pro Bowl players Brian Mitchell and Tre Johnson feel 3-7 Redskins are overdue in asserting identity.
Although they are now 3-7 with a formidable final slate of games ahead, coach Jay Gruden said his approach will not change.

The Whitevale Library branch is currently open weekly on Mondays and Wednesdays from 4 to 7 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to noon.
PICKERING -- In the face of mounting capital costs and budget pressures, the Pickering Public Library will be closing its Whitevale branch by the end of the year.
The library board voted to close the branch in the face of declining circulation of almost 50 per cent over the last two years.
"There's really no good time to close the branch, the community is really attached to this branch and even invested sweat equity in it," said Cathy Grant, CEO of the Pickering Public Library, noting residents pitched in to repair the library during 1995 renovations.
"The board absolutely recognizes that; unfortunately they just weren't using it," she said.
"This decision was a long time coming, the board's been concerned about the viability of this branch for a long time. It's unfortunate, it's a tough decision they had to make but it was the right decision at this time."
The announcement to close the branch was a blow to the small community, which has been using the library since it was converted from a bank by the Whitevale Library League in 1925.
"As a smaller community we have no choice to support the larger community of Pickering by using its grocery stores, gas stations and malls, because we have none of those," said Sandy Rider, a Whitevale resident of 40 years who addressed the board in November in an effort to save the community branch.
"The only amenity we do have is a library we can walk to," she continued.
"We do without a lot, and to remove the one thing that is a gathering place for us, I think sometimes the greater should find it in their hearts to support what's best for the smaller. But unfortunately when the cold, hard fact of money is involved, it often outweighs sentiment."
In a 2009 facilities report, the board noted there was "no future" for rural branches and has monitored the branches in Whitevale, Claremont and Greenwood for declining circulation and unwieldy capital costs since.
Greenwood, which was built in 1860, has remained viable with a steady circulation, and even a slight increase in 2012, while Claremont doesn't have the same issues since it's housed in a newer building and has a larger population to draw from.
"People's ideas of a library, and what they expect from a library, have changed," Ms. Grant said, noting rural branches are often not accessible, can't provide the modern services that city branches can and are often inefficient.
For example, the cost to loan a book at the Petticoat Creek branch is about $3, while at Whitevale it's nearly $15.
"Long term, the board is not committed to rural branches because of all the issues," Ms. Grant explained. "But the hardest thing to do is remove library services from a community that's used to having them. We've said we'll keep supporting them as long as the community uses them."
John Duffus, president of the Whitevale and District Residents' Association, said he would like to see a better compromise, such as opening the library only on Saturday mornings to cut down on costs.
"If you look at pure numbers you have to say yes, it's not economical to have it open," he said.
"But when you look at it from the perspective of history and the young families in Whitevale, it's unfortunate. It's one of the last connections with south Pickering because there's nothing really left here. I think we could have come up with a compromise."
The branch will be closing as of Jan. 1, with the last day of service on Dec. 29 from 9 a.m. to noon. For more information, visit www.picnet.org.

Forbes billionaire list heavy with NFL owners
- Mike Sunnucks
- Senior Reporter- Phoenix Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Facebook
Jones is worth $2.7 billion and ranks as the 151st richest American, according to Forbes. The magazine also lists his Cowboys as the most valuable U.S. sports team at $2.1 billion.
A number of the NFL's billionaire owners are new to the game. Haslam just bought the Browns and Khan bought the Jags last season. Bisciotti, Ross, McNair and Glazer are also relative newbies compared with some of the family-owned franchises.
The Bidwill family, which has owned the Arizona Cardinals franchise since 1933, are not the on the Forbes rich list. Charles Bidwill bought the Cards for $50,000.
The Bidwills have owned the Cardinals since the team played in Chicago and then St. Louis, and they have never showed any inclination to get out of the family businesses.
But if they ever did, there would plenty of private jets headed into town.

Installing four gardens at the Pact Southland's Invercargill residence has made the dreams of permanent residents come true.
Pact Southland regional manager Jackie Kruger said planting gardens had been on the residents' wish-list for some time, and planting the garden would have many positive effects for them.
"Their dreams have come to fruition. It's a really good activity, and it's good, healthy food for them," she said.
Pact Southland's accommodation caters to 16 permanent residents suffering from a mental illness, and has four spaces for people in respite care.
The gardens had also drawn residents together, as several were now focused on looking after their new gardens, she said.
The $1600 for the project came from the Invercargill chapter of Altrusa International, a women's service club that raises money for various charities.
Club member Denise Corson said the 26-member group had raised the money by selling lamingtons. They raised money for several organisations a year, based on need, and had decided to concentrate on fundraising for a project with Pact Southland.
The satisfaction residents would feel after growing their own garden was a large part of the reason Altrusa had been involved in the project, Mrs Corson said.
"There's nothing nicer than seeing a garden grow."
The gardens were installed on Christmas Eve last year.
Resident John Garron said he tended to the plants "as often as they need it" and had also been given a hand by other residents. He was excited about eating the vegetables he had looked after.
The gardens include radishes, lettuces, cabbages, silverbeet, broccoli, cauliflower, potatoes and a selection of herbs.
They were extremely grateful for the generosity of Altrusa group, Mrs Kruger said.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Her Kids Selling Lemonade
Gwyneth Oversees Her Kids' Adorable Organic Lemonade Stand
Gwyneth Paltrow helped her kids, Apple and Moses Martin, sell cookies and lemonade on a street corner on Monday in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of LA. Gwyneth looked like your everyday mom, dressed down in a puffer vest and sweatpants, as she watched over her little ones managing their small business. Apple and Moses, along with some neighborhood kids, were all smiles as they sold their "100 percent organic" lemonade with "no sugar added." They also offered a deal — one cookie and a small lemonade for only $1.50! Gwyneth made sure to test the merchandise, taking sips of lemonade from a plastic cup, while 9-year-old Apple counted her money with an adorable grin.
Gwyneth's year is already off to a pretty good start. Not only are her kids burgeoning business owners, but she's also back to work on a new film after spending some time on the beach in Hawaii with her husband, Chris Martin. Gwyneth arrived on the set of her latest project, Mortdecai, with costars Johnny Depp and Jeff Goldblum on Tuesday and could be hitting the red carpet for tonight's People's Choice Awards, as she's nominated in the favorite movie actress category.

Thanks to the game of tennis, Alice Tym and Ned Caswell have had the opportunity to travel the world and win.
For their success on the court and willingness to give back to the sport, these two will enter the Tennessee Tennis Hall of Fame at an induction dinner Oct. 24 at the Chattanooga Golf and Country Club.
"All I have ever wanted to do is just play," said Tym. "It's great to be treated well as you travel from place to place, but just let me play."
And play she has with national championships in not only tennis, but table tennis and badminton.
Caswell has three world titles and 16 national championships on his resume, while Tym played in all four major championships with a career-best No.13 world ranking in 1969 and is a member of six halls of fame.
From landing in a cow pasture-turned runway ("no bigger than my garage") in Italy to being escorted to her match at the All England Club (i.e. Wimbledon) via a Rolls Royce in the mid-1960s, Tym has seen it all.
Having started the women's program at the U. of Florida and the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, Tym views those days as exciting times for women's tennis.
"There were no women's varsity sports at all when I enrolled as a freshman in the fall of 1960 and I feel I contributed to the university by finding other ladies on campus who wanted to be part of the first team," Tym stated.
Speaking of her time on the world tour, the Peoria, Ill. native said, "We all wanted to win, but we also supported each other everywhere we went to make sure we survived."
Surviving also meant extra income beyond tournament winnings which was $125 first prize for her first championship in 1962 in Italy.
A multi-talented lady, she also did well at the card tables at night.
Getting the Best of Arthur Ashe: "Arthur Ashe was a great tennis player, but a bad card player. I took his money every time," Tym said with a smile. "I did whatever it took to get a few extra bucks to pay bills."
She also smiles as she looks back on a career which shows that she offered women, including GPS head coach Sue Bartlett, a chance to play college tennis and win.
Tum guided the Lady Mocs to their first two AIAW national team titles (1977, '78) followed by a pair of Ivy League crowns and top 20 rankings at Yale Univ.
A success off the court as well, Tym has taught Geography at UTC for four decades and received the Outstanding Professor award in 1989.
"I love to teach and interact with the students."
Caswell has also interacted successfully with the younger generation as the Baylor girls' tennis team has won three straight TSAA D-II team titles.
"The girls (including Ned's daughters Samantha and Harper) want to make it four straight this spring since my wife, Wendy, and her high school won four straight state titles," said Caswell who was once ranked No.200 in the world.
A late bloomer in tennis, Caswell went to Furman on a basketball scholarship, but added tennis to his college experience.
He was a two-time Southern Conference tennis MVP and two-time All-American, posting a win against Patrick McEnroe as a junior in the NCAA tourney.
"That win was special since my dad was there to watch and it was the last time he saw me play, passing away shortly thereafter," Caswell stated.
And October 24 will be special as two world class players will be honored at home.

Matt Le Tissier's 'repeated criticism over a prolonged period of time' not justified say Southampton
Clear-the-air talks with club legend and executive chairman Nicola Cortese have been cancelled
Southampton executive chairman Nicola Cortese has cancelled clear-the-air talks with Matthew Le Tissier after claiming the former Saints forward failed to act in good faith.
Le Tissier, who was critical of Cortese's decision to sack manager Nigel Adkins and replace him with former Espanyol boss Mauricio Pochettino, had called for a meeting with Cortese.
Le Tissier later revealed talks had been scheduled for four weeks' time, but Southampton have today told Press Association Sport that those discussions are now off.
"A meeting was organised between Nicola Cortese, the club's executive chairman, and Matthew Le Tissier in what the club believed was good faith," a club spokesman said.
"Both parties had agreed that it would be a private meeting with no publicity surrounding it, yet within 24 hours this matter was put in the public domain and further negative comments attributed to Mr Le Tissier have appeared this morning.
"As an ex-player, Mr Le Tissier's achievements are well known.
"However, his repeated criticisms over a prolonged period of time are not justified and have not merited any response from the club. Nor has the motive for these personal attacks ever been made entirely clear.
"Mr Cortese wishes to reiterate that he will not make comment about somebody he does not know personally - and that includes Mr Le Tissier.
"These criticisms have not affected the club's success and progress on or off the pitch in recent years and will not divert the club from its course in the future.
"For Mr Le Tissier to agree to meet 'in good faith' and then make such comments can only be seen as a breach of good faith and certainly not in the best interests of the club.
"Mr Le Tissier also refers to his friend Francis Benali having the best interests of the club at heart, while neglecting to mention that the same person is currently suing Southampton Football Club in relation to a lease dispute and lost ambassadorial fees.
"It is a legal action the club will be defending rigorously in the best interests of the club and its reputation.
"In all the circumstances and in light of the comments attributed to Mr Le Tissier, the club believes that it is now not possible for the above mentioned meeting to take place in good faith.
"We would nevertheless encourage Mr Le Tissier to join with our fans and continue to enjoy the success the club has achieved over the last three and a half years.
"The club now considers this matter closed and will not be making any further comment about it."
Le Tissier told Press Association Sport this afternoon that the meeting's cancellation "doesn't surprise" him and wrote on Twitter: "Meeting with our wonderful exec chairman been cancelled £surprisesurprise £somethingtohidenicola."
Benali was unavailable for comment.
Cortese played an integral role in the now-deceased Markus Liebherr's takeover of the debt-ridden south coast club three years ago - a time in which Le Tissier was part of a rival bid by Pinnacle Group.
In October the Saints legend described Cortese as "not a very nice human being", with the Italian later claiming they had never met.

Government urged to grow the local textiles industry
Takoradi, June 1, GNA – Mr. Moses Akrofi, Head of Textiles Department of the Takoradi Polytechnic, on Friday, urged government to motivate local textiles industries through tax waivers, micro financing and good policies to enhance the growth of the sector.
He said there was the need to encourage research into the local textile industry to bring it up to standard, adding, "The small-medium scale industry lacks requisite expertise in the production of quality Ghanaian textile products".
Mr. Akrofi said this at the fourth annual Textile Students Association and Department of Textiles and Technology Week Celebration of the Takoradi Polytechnic at Takoradi.
He said studies conducted by the department revealed that about 90% of the graduates had diverted into business whiles the remaining 10% were in either small or medium factories producing textile products.
"This has come about as a result of the current decline in textiles production in Ghana alongside the difficulty in starting up businesses on their own as it is quite expensive," he added.
Mr. Akrofi said the industry had also suffered setback due to the influx of foreign textiles and some policies which were hampering "the image of our locally produced ones" and called for research, advocacy and proper marketing of the industry.
He said collaboration with academia and research institutions would yield high patronage of these products.
The Department would engage in outreach programmes to raise awareness as well as promote issues related to the Ghanaian Textile Industry, he said.

It was thought to be extinct, but there it was, growing out of a crack in the wall at an Otane garden shop.
Jack Ritchie was amazed when he saw a story and photograph in the newspaper about the discovery of a fern that had been thought extinct.
"We had one growing here at the shop," said Mr Ritchie, who runs a gardening business in Otane, in Central Hawke's Bay.
However, it was not as simple as that the almost-extinct tetraploid maidenhair spleenwort fern was very similar to another relatively common fern.
Now Te Papa botany curator Leon Perrie has confirmed, after genetic testing on the fern, which is growing in a crack in a water feature at the shop, that Mr Ritchie's fern is rare.
"It must have come with some rocks I brought in to build the water feature," Mr Ritchie said. "A couple of years later it sprung up. It's very pretty; the fronds stand up whereas most ferns curl over.
Mr Ritchie is thinking of trying to grow new plants from the fern, so he will be able to offer customers something really unusual, but that will take at least two years.
Dr Perrie found the fern near Waipukurau late last year and his discovery was reported in The Dominion Post.
On that trip he and colleagues found only nine of the ferns in the wild, but last month he and Mr Ritchie went to the area Mr Ritchie had got his rocks from.
"We found a good population about 70 plants growing on limestone outcrops in pasture," Dr Perrie said.

So, Mike, May there always be fair weather, and prosperity enough for a good life but not so much as to make you a spoiled brat (giggles), may you have creativity always, and health, and joy and peace. ... may your life always be good.
Happy Birthday Mike!
Background is made up from a couple of fractals, the Fae is one of propschicks png files. I found it in free stuff a long time ago.
Many thanks for all the treasured comments and the faves. We've snow on the ground since Christmas but rumor has it that temps are going up in the 50s F (10C) so the snow will all melt

In 1986, a horse named Ferdinand won the Kentucky Derby. A couple years later, he was sold into slaughter, as his racing career had ended. Rather than finding a home or rehabilitating a champion, he was simply destroyed. Ferdinand's Ball exists to raise money for The Old Friends Thoroughbred Retirement Facility . They ensure that retired racers have a place to live out their lives, along with helping other horses avoid the same fate as Ferdinand.
The evening was nothing short of glitz, glamour, and gilt - the silent auction was one of the most outstandingly amazing selections of items I've ever seen (7 days/6 nights in a Tuscan Villa sound good? How about seats at the royal enclosure at Ascot?), the Muhammad Ali Center played a perfectly beautiful host, and the drinks were free and plenty.
Musical entertainment was provided by Louisville's own Southern Sirens , who played a mix of classic hits and folk numbers. They were excellent, and helped lend a great atmosphere to the event.
It was packed tight in the Muhammad Ali center, with around 600 people in attendance. Even with the even mainly being located outside, it was still a large crowd, and the festivities seemed to be constantly stepping up as the evening progressed. While I don't have figures for how much money the ball earned, I'm sure it was a lot - it was well attended, had some amazing auction items that were sure to bring some money in, and at a minimum of $125 a ticket, it was sure to help Old Friends keep helping retired thoroughbreds for quite a while.

"The most valuable thing I gained from my student teaching experience was confidence as a teacher. I learned my style of interacting with individual students as well as large groups of students and gained many new teaching strategies. I also realized during my student teaching time that it is invaluable to work so closely with an experienced professional in the field; the cooperating teacher becomes a mentor and colleague and remains an important contact even after the semester is over."

Coi becomes the sixth contestant eliminated from 'Hell's Kitchen'
By John Bracchitta, 03/13/2009
Coi, a 22-year-old cafe cook from Austin, TX, was revealed to be the sixth contestant cut from
Hell's Kitchen
during last night's broadcast of the Fox reality cooking show.
"I feel Andrea should be here right now," a heated Coi said following her elimination by Chef Gordon Ramsey. "I feel angry for the fact that she wasn't seen as the worst. I don't feel like I should be going home."
Hell's Kitchen
sixth fifth-season episode began immediately following the conclusion of last week's episode, which ended with Gordon deciding to
Colleen, a 41-year-old cooking school instructor from Papillion, NE, from the Red team. Following a brush with the bottom two after a sub-par in the kitchen, Andrea, a 30-year-old line cook from Reading, PA, said she held no animosity for the decision to put her up for elimination and instead used it as motivation.
"Being up on the chopping block was a very humbling experience this evening," she said. "It's not gonna happen again.

The next morning, Gordon greeted the two teams and told them that they would be hosting a bar mitzvah at
Hell's Kitchen
restaurant the following evening. He then revealed that for their challenge they would have to prepare special versions of the three favorite dishes -- a hamburger, brisket and chicken soup -- of Max, the 12-year-old boy the bar mitzvah was being held for.
Both teams were given 45 minutes to prepare the food. Coi volunteered to handle the brisket for the Red team while Carol, a 30-year-old sous chef from Knoxville, TN, prepared the burgers and stuffed them with bleu cheese despite the concerns of her teammates that the flavor of the cheese may be too strong. Meanwhile on the Blue team, Ben, a 26-year-old executive sous chef from Chicago, IL, was confident that his Jewish heritage would help him make a superior brisket to the Red team's version.
After preparing the food, the contestants were somewhat surprised when it was revealed that Max -- and not Gordon or the boy's mother and grandmother who were on hand as well -- would be the sole judge of the competition and choose which version of each dish he preferred.
For the chicken soup, Max preferred the Blue team's traditional chicken soup with pasta, fresh vegetable and rice balls over the Red team's spring chicken soup with homemade pasta and pea shooters.
However the Red team moved into a tie with the Blue team after Max preferred their brisket with cherry barbeque sauce over Ben's brisket, which he said was prepared with a "wee bit of schmaltz."
With the burgers acting as the deciding vote, Max ultimately chose the Blue team's traditional Kobe beef burger over Carol's stuffed bleu cheese burger, with Max specifically citing his dislike of the bleu cheese as the reason he had picked the other burger.
As their prize for winning the challenge, Gordon told the Blue team that they would be receiving a day of luxury at a spa while the Red team set up the
Hell's Kitchen
restaurant for the bar mitzvah, which included the construction of a basketball court-themed dance floor and the inflation of countless balloons.
While the Blue team relaxed, the Red team struggled as they set up the restaurant, particularly with the construction of the dance floor that led to bickering between Andrea, Carol and Coi.
While at the spa, Lacey, a 24-year-old corporate buffet cook from Charlotte, NC, was congratulated by Ben for her hard work on their team, and later said that she was happy with the decision for her to switch teams made by Gordon.
"It's very satisfying knowing that I'm on a new team, I've had a new start," she said. "I'm gonna show both teams that I can do this I deserve to be here.
With the restaurant set up by the Red team and the Blue team back from their day of luxury, both teams then gathered prior to their dinner service and were Gordon told them that he expected "a very, very special night for Max" and urged them to put on their best dinner service yet.
The bar mitzvah than commenced, and got off to a somewhat rocky start when Gordon singled out Andrea for not putting enough mushrooms in her mushroom risotto. However, after quickly recovering -- and denying help from Carol in the process -- Andrea redeemed herself by fixing the order without wasting much time.
As a second part of their punishment, the Red team was told that they had to stop midway through their appetizer preparation and go onto the dance floor to lift up Max in a chair as part of a traditional ceremony, allowing the Blue team to get a jump on them and push out their appetizers first.
One-and-a-half hours into the dinner service both teams completed their appetizers and moved on to the main courses. However, the Red team was severely held back after Coi committed a fatal error by forgetting to put the hamburgers on the grill beforehand. To make matters worse, Gordon screamed that the burgers for Max's table -- who was getting served first before the rest of the guests -- were cold. As the Red team scrambled to prepare the burgers again, Gordon chided them for stumbling over each other and not giving them enough room to get their cooking done.
Following her hamburger debacle, Coi struggled further with the brisket and was rude when she eventually had to be helped by LA, a 23-year-old line cook from Las Vegas, NV.
"When Coi gets under pressure she just gets frustrated," LA said later.
On the Blue team, Lacey struggled with the brisket as well, forgetting to keep it heated and delivering a set of cold dishes to Gordon that he promptly sent back.
Despite their issues, each team was able to complete their dinner services with relatively few complaints. Following a surprise performance by the Harlem Globetrotters to end the bar mitzvah, Gordon told the teams that they had "made Max and his family very happy."
Because both teams performed almost evenly, Gordon said he was going to award the challenge to the team with greater "level of service," before telling the Blue team they had won.
Gordon added that because she had bounced back from her rough start, Andrea would be the Red team contestant to pick the two nominees to put up for elimination.
After leaving the kitchen Carol said she was "pissed" that Andrea had been singled out as the strongest performer on the Red team and said she had in fact been the worst.
Sensing that she would be nominated for her poor dinner service performance, Coi told Carol that if they were brought up for elimination that should tell Gordon that Andrea had been the weakest performer in the kitchen in an attempt to get him to change his mind.
While Andrea did single out Carol and Coi for their poor performances, she also seemed to acknowledge that she had not performed well either and said before leaving to meet with Gordon that she did not know who she was going to nominate for elimination.
She reiterated her uncertainty to Gordon as well once the team met with him in the restaurant, saying that it was "hard to stand up here and point fingers when I can pretty much be reflecting those reasons upon myself as well."
"Are you f--king mad?" Gordon shot back at her before demanding that she own up to her responsibility and give him two nominations immediately.
Andrea obeyed Gordon, nominating Coi for her recent sub-par performances in the kitchen as well as LA, whom she said had only been giving 90% instead of 110% in the kitchen and had not stepped up as a leader for the team.
Gordon had LA and Coi come forward and present why they felt they should stay in the competition before he made his decision.
"You haven't seen the best of me yet, LA said. "I mean this is my life. I'm not very loud, I just gotta get in there next time and do it, and I gotta show you that I'm in it to win it."
"I've been a wonderful team player ever single time that I've had a challenge," Coi said next. "I've been in the front motivating my team. I'm always first, I'm always doing [something] and helping my team."
Coi then added that she felt Andrea had been the weakest performer during dinner service, with LA and Carol agreeing with her. However when asked who she felt performed the worst, Paula, a 28-year-old executive sous chef from Coconut Creek, FL, named Coi.
Gordon then agreed, eliminating Coi from the competition. He later added that her inability to cook such a simple item such as a hamburger had been the primary reason for her elimination.
The next episode of
Hell's Kitchen
will air on Thursday, March 19 at 9PM ET/PT on Fox.

Postscript: Eric Hobsbawm
Stephen Mark Kotkin is Professor of History and director of the Program in Russian Studies at Princeton University
...[His] best book, at least to my mind, remains the memoir "Interesting Times" (2002), one of the very few—dare I say—great life stories of a historian. (I wrote about it for The New Yorker.) His memoir enacts the core principles of all his historical work: he wrote for the public, not just for the guild, and he wrote not only with compelling narrative, which is how popular history is delivered, but with strong analysis, too. Does that add up to more than legions of students and well-grounded original interpretations? It is arguably Hobsbawm's overall life/work rather than any single piece that has been and will continue to prove most influential. On that front, there's also this: having embraced and never relinquished the passionate early Marx, E. J. Hobsbawm, as he reaffirmed in his last book, was in it to change the world.

The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency.

Text of report headlined "Govt lawmakers seek Abhisit, MP's impeachment"
published by Thai newspaper Bangkok Post website on 9 December
MPs from the ruling Pheu Thai Party yesterday asked the House speaker to
seek impeachment of opposition leader Abhisit Vejjajiva and another
Democrat Party MP for allegedly interfering with provincial authorities'
work for their own benefit.
Justice Minister Pracha Promnok led a group of Pheu Thai MPs in
submitting their written request to House of Representatives Speaker
Somsak Kiartsuranond. The MPs urged Somsak, who is also their party
colleague, to seek a Constitutional Court ruling terminating the MP
status of Democrat leader Abhisit and Warong Dejkitwikorn, Democrat MP
for Phitsanulok.
The Pheu Thai politicians accused Abhisit and Warong of abusing their MP
status by pressuring the Phitsanulok governor to give them 500 bags of
relief items from the Energy Ministry to be distributed to flood victims
selected by them.
"Abhisit and Warong wanted the relief items to be distributed the way
they and the Democrat Party saw fit, which was not in line with the
authorities' assistance plan. Their act is against the Constitution,"
Pracha said.
Pracha, who also serves as director of the government's Flood Relief
Operations Centre, was recently grilled in a censure debate.
He was assailed by Democrat MPs, who accused him of condoning
irregularities regarding the government's procurement of relief items
for flood victims, among other allegations.
Somsak said yesterday he would study the Pheu Thai MPs' petition and
determine when to refer the matter to the Constitutional Court.
"I will follow the framework set by the Constitution and the relevant
laws. There is no double standard," he said.
Regarding an earlier petition by Democrat MPs against eight Pheu Thai
MPs accused of irregularities regarding procurement of flood-relief
supplies, Somsak said he had not seen that petition, which was submitted
to House Deputy Speaker Charoen Jankomol while Somsak was away.
"I think the petition filed with Charoen is in the process of being
examined. There is no reason the two petitions have to be forwarded to
the Constitutional Court at the same time," Somsak said.
The Democrat MPs submitted their impeachment petition against the Pheu
Thai MPs during the censure debate against Pracha late last month.
When asked about another case in which the Election Commission decided
to seek a Constitutional Court ruling on whether Pheu Thai MP Jatuporn
Promphan lost his MP status for failing to cast his ballot in the last
elections, Somsak said he had not received any request from the EC to
forward the matter to the court. "I hear that they want one month [to
consider the matter]," the House speaker said.
