We are creating a generation of kids who are folding under the pressure. After all, by definition, most people who take part in competitions lose. As the testing starts earlier, this also makes for divided classrooms. Children who don't do well right away tend to write themselves off early on.
Read Whole Story
Back in September, Peter Creticos of the Institute for Work and the Economy wrote a thoughtful and provocative piece in the aftermath of the first spate of rioting in Ferguson, Mo.
On September 21, 2014, we sent a public records request to the Louisiana Department of Education, requesting the number of school corporal punishment incidents for the 2011-2014 school years. On October 29, 2014, we received the data. It was revealing.
The bottom line is that New Jersey charters do not serve the same population as the districts that house them. Specifically, they serve a smaller percentage of poor students and students with extra learning challenges.
In the 21st century, it's hard to imagine a corporate world where only one-third of businesses could access high-speed Internet and the rest were relegated to dial-up speeds. Yet that's essentially the reality for our nation's schools.
About five years ago, Mary Grace Henry of Harrison, New York, asked for a sewing machine for her birthday. She wanted to design and sell headbands to ...
Despite the 148 charter schools in Illinois, many residents of the state don't fully understand what they stand for or what they do. There are more charter schools in Chicago and Rockford than the rest of the state, but many rules govern charter schools throughout the state.
We can't just focus on turning kids from bystanders to "upstanders" whenever bullying occurs: We also need to focus on changing social norms and school climate so that bullying doesn't occur. Rather than simply asking children to go against the tide, we need to change the tide itself.
Instead of focusing on the high performing, front-row kids and neglecting the lost, skid-row kids in the back of the room, teachers can turn their classrooms into fertile ground that nurtures all students.
If you are going to be sitting in different rooms for nine months, why not make these months hilarious and memorable?
HAZELWOOD, Mo. (AP) -- A suburban St. Louis school district says schools will get early notice once the Ferguson grand jury reaches a decision.

Are smaller class sizes the key to breathing new life into today's public schools, or a misguided effort to solve the problems of a dying era? I am surprised to say I have come to believe it's the latter.
Besides the fact that you can never, ever get the advertised price, or that the bill now includes a collection of made up fees and pass-through taxes, there are also a host of related issues that surround the sale and promotion of these services.
Everyone has heard how to prevent colds and the flu: Wash your hands and cover coughs and sneezes! But here's another tip that's not heard often: Clean up your school. You might reduce the flu by 87 percent or asthma by 39 percent. Here's why and what you can do.
Illinois' 2014 statewide races are over, but now it's time to get to work on making the state better, which starts with a better education system for Illinois' students. But first we have to reflect on where we are now before we can move forward.
School officials defend their quick resort to call in the school or city police with the claim that black students do commit more serious offenses than other students. There's nothing to support this.
"It is difficult / to get the news from poems," wrote American poet William Carlos Williams, "yet men die miserably every day / for lack / of what is found there." And yet, we are seeing more and more efforts to combine poetry and reporting.
For the last year and a half, I have worked closely with the DC Office of Human Rights to conduct an audit of school bullying prevention policies following the passage of Washington DC's Youth Bullying Prevention Act of 2012 (YBPA).
As Illinois moves ever-closer to decision time on finding a new governor, could our elected officials learn something from looking at our neighbors? S...
Performance incentives for public service always -- always -- involve substituting the values of the few for the values of everybody. Imagine if, for instance, we paid fire fighters on sliding scale, based on how many of which type fires they put out at a certain speed.
I had no idea what I would be as an adult because I didn't see anybody I could be. What I would have given to hear a high school teacher say, "I'm gay," "I'm a lesbian," "I'm queer;" to tell me that I could grow up to be a person a young man would respect?
After Malala won the Nobel Peace Prize, international papers and websites observed a strange phenomenon in Pakistan: Some people were not happy that Malala had won the Nobel. But they do not represent Pakistan.
Ninety-five percent of everything is unimportant baloney, crap that we humans use to torture ourselves and each other. Neckties. Eye shadow. Funny hats. Hair length. Only five percent of what we deal with is true and important and lasting.
Teachers, parents, and administrators are raising their voices louder, and in solidarity, as unrealistic demands for students are being handed down from education policy makers and corporate reformers.
By working with schools, local optometrists, community partners, and a network of sight leaders, Education In Sight bridges the gap between students and comprehensive, quality eye care by bringing the care directly to students in the schools.

Get master level fast and more money
Make sure your peep get the job with $15 salary like pen designer or chewing gum designer, because after your peep reached master level they will gain up to six hundred dollar. If your peep doesn't get that job, thats ok, but the money you will gain won't be as much as the one with the jobs mentioned above. Marry someone, but don't make any child first. Apply the steps below to both of your peeps
- How To make your peeps get their master (8) level:
- Open the game
- Try to drag your peep to their workplace
- Praise your peep for 3 times and they will run away after you praise them for the third time. Try to drag them again to their workplace and keep doing it for ten times
- After that, praise them again, but just 2 times so they will work
- Close the apps
- Go to settings-> general -> date and time then turn off 'set automatically' then press 'set date and time' . Change the date to tomorrow's date, example, if today is 2 January 2014, then set it to 3 January 2014. Don't change the year or the month, don't need to change the time, Don't turn on 'set automatically
- Close settings, open the game and your peeps job's level will be master(8). If your peep has not reached master yet, drag your peeps to their workplace then go to settings and try to set the date into the next day, and open the game then your peep will reach master level
- Buy food from the grocery, because they will die if you keep skipping the day without food in their fridge, keep checking the fridge after you skipped the day, don't let it empty
- If your peeps r sick, heal them first, if they r weak, don't care bout it, just drag them to workplace and close the game, then go to settings set the date to the next day
- Open the game and your money will be increased, keep doing step 9 and 10 till your peeps died
- If you dont have any child, then you can get new generation peep, so you can choose the peep with the job $15 as mentioned above, and you can keep doing those steps till you feel you have been rich enough.
I bought all the rooms and all the things I wanted with those steps :D

Three-year-old YouTube sprinkles sensation appears on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' (+video)
Three-year-old John Boarman has always been taught not to lie, but when it comes to sneaking sprinkles out of the cupboard, Boarman won't fess up.
"No, I did not eat your sprinkles," John said in the video his mother Erica Boarman uploaded to YouTube on Feb. 6.
After catching her son with sprinkles plastered around his mouth, Erica took out her camera so she could send the video to her relatives around the country who don't get to see John very often.
The video had more than 1.6 million views in less than a week, and Erica and John recently made an appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres Show.
While on the show, DeGeneres asked John to answer some questions, and he did not disappoint the audience as he answered each question untruthfully.
Both Erica and John received gifts from DeGeneres: Erica got a new video camera, and John got a T-shirt along with a table full of all the sprinkles he could eat.

Implementing Effective Controls in a Mobile, Agile, Cloud-Enabled EnterprisePage(s): 13 - 14| | Quick Abstract | PDF (350 KB)
In today's enterprise, security teams that call for security to be "everyone's responsibility" and "built in, not bolted on" are struggling to protect their businesses in the face of consumerization, mobility, cloud, and agile business environments. This article offers tangible techniques to turn these clichés into reality while considering the cultural and trust barriers that hinder the implementation of effective controls. View full abstract»
Authentication at ScalePage(s): 15 - 22| | Quick Abstract | PDF (466 KB)
Like many in the industry, the authors believe passwords and simple bearer tokens, such as cookies, are no longer sufficient to keep users safe. Google employs a base level of sophisticated server-side technologies, such as SSL and risk analysis, to protect users with plain old passwords; however, it's also investing in client-side technologies, such as strong authentication with two-step verification using one-time passwords and public-key-based technology, for stronger user and device identification. It's championing various approaches to access delegation, both in its applications and with third parties, so that end user credentials aren't passed around insecurely. View full abstract»
From the Enterprise Perimeter to a Mobility-Enabled Secure CloudPage(s): 23 - 31| | Quick Abstract | PDF (949 KB)
The enterprise perimeter has exhibited gradual trust degradation owing to a succession of connectivity decisions involving Web, email, virtual private networking, exceptions, and mobile networks as well as a succession of threats including malware and advanced persistent threats (APTs). The author proposes restoring trust to the enterprise by focusing protection strategies on a set of prioritized assets. The protections center on three zones: a client zone, a network zone with network-based carrier protection services, and a cloud zone with third-party attested security heavily indexed toward identity and access management services. The resultant enterprise network is more resilient to leakage attacks such as APTs. View full abstract»
The Human Element of Information SecurityPage(s): 32 - 35| | Quick Abstract | PDF (905 KB)
Information security has long hinged on trusted insiders' ability to make good decisions. However, modifying human behavior through training is difficult; some battle-worn security executives might even dismiss it as impossible. Although foundational controls such as antivirus, data leak protection, and firewalls are important, they're far from sufficient. The sharp rise in "knowability" of people at a distance raises an important question for the information security industry about the automation of personalized attacks: what happens when the marginal cost of launching a convincing personalized attack starts to approach $0? Today, most security controls are ignorant of rich historical data about the person they're tasked with protecting. As the cost for attackers to personalize their attacks goes down, our zeal in building technology to personalize defense must rise. This article explores our industry's need to embrace security's human element. View full abstract»
Security Event Monitoring in a Distributed Systems EnvironmentPage(s): 36 - 43| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1274 KB)
Today, organizations depend much more on IT than they did in the past. Services such as internal portals, email communication, and financial and HR systems rely on computers to move businesses forward. These systems are under pressure to be securer than ever to protect organizations' operational environment. One aspect to consider in this situation is IT security event management. This article presents the design and implementation of two security event monitoring approaches in a distributed systems environment. View full abstract»
Using Cloud Computing to Implement a Security Overlay NetworkPage(s): 44 - 53| | Quick Abstract | PDF (585 KB)
This article proposes and analyzes a general cloud-based security overlay network that can be used as a transparent overlay network to provide services such as intrusion detection systems, antivirus and antispam software, and distributed denial-of-service prevention. The authors analyze each of these in-cloud security services in terms of resiliency, effectiveness, performance, flexibility, control, and cost. View full abstract»
Targeted Cyberattacks: A Superset of Advanced Persistent ThreatsPage(s): 54 - 61| | Quick Abstract | PDF (828 KB)

Going Bright: Wiretapping without Weakening Communications InfrastructurePage(s): 62 - 72| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1039 KB)
Mobile IP-based communications and changes in technologies, including wider use of peer-to-peer communication methods and increased deployment of encryption, has made wiretapping more difficult for law enforcement, which has been seeking to extend wiretap design requirements for digital voice networks to IP network infrastructure and applications. Such an extension to emerging Internet-based services would create considerable security risks as well as cause serious harm to innovation. In this article, the authors show that the exploitation of naturally occurring weaknesses in the software platforms being used by law enforcement's targets is a solution to the law enforcement problem. The authors analyze the efficacy of this approach, concluding that such law enforcement use of passive interception and targeted vulnerability exploitation tools creates fewer security risks for non-targets and critical infrastructure than do design mandates for wiretap interfaces.

Help! Is There a Trustworthy-Systems Doctor in the House?Page(s): 73 - 77| | Quick Abstract | PDF (532 KB)

Such a program will create individuals who can lead teams of specialists that can address the varied functional and protection challenges of information systems. View full abstract»
Mobile Security: A Look AheadPage(s): 78 - 81| | Quick Abstract | PDF (431 KB)
Fueled by widespread adoption of employee-owned devices in the workplace and the explosion of mobile applications, mobile device security is under heavy debate in both the academic and industry security communities. Businesses and government agencies are struggling to find some sense of control at a time when employee-owned devices now access some of the most sensitive data in an organization. Various approaches and solutions have been proposed, ranging from device-based intrusion detection systems, execution isolation through application sandboxing and bare metal hypervisors, ontology-based firewalls, behavior-based detection, to cloud-based protection through the use of VPN technology. The challenge of heterogeneous hardware and software platforms, such as iOS vs. Android OS, adds yet another layer of complexity to creating a comprehensive solution. The authors provide an overview of the current threats based on data collected from observing the interaction of 75 million users with the Internet. Extrapolating this data gives an insight into what threats wait on the horizon. View full abstract»
Behavioral Targeting: A European Legal PerspectivePage(s): 82 - 85| | Quick Abstract | PDF (679 KB)
Behavioral targeting, or online profiling, is a hotly debated topic. Much of the collection of personal information on the Internet is related to behavioral targeting, although research suggests that most people don't want to receive behaviorally targeted advertising. The World Wide Web Consortium is discussing a Do Not Track standard, and regulators worldwide are struggling to come up with answers. This article discusses European law and recent policy developments on behavioral targeting. View full abstract»

The Promises and Challenges of Continuous Monitoring and Risk ScoringPage(s): 90 - 93| | Quick Abstract | PDF (948 KB)
Continuous monitoring and risk scoring is a comprehensive process of maintaining ongoing awareness of information security, vulnerabilities, and threats to support organizational risk management decisions. Two of the most salient aspects of CMRS are continuous data collection through automated feeds and analysis of that data to assess and score risks. CMRS attracts growing interest due to its potential to be far more agile, responsive, and perhaps less expensive than such alternatives as periodic reporting and certification. While the potential benefits could be great, so are the challenges of implementing a successful CMRS system. View full abstract»

Iraq an economic Study
Poster Handle
Post Content
I'm not absolutely sure but it looks to me that this article says two things. The first is a confirmation that it was the difference between the street rate and the program rate that created the massive selling of dollars. We already knew this. Whether or not Shabibi planned this or he just took advantage of this condition, it was a good thing for Iraq and it was not illegal. I've said all of this before and now this article confirms it. Personally I believe Shabibi took advantage of the situation when it came about. I believe this because he could have at anytime defended the exchange rate with 67 billion in reserves. Most countries operate under a requirement by the IMF as fractional reserves, meaning they have to have only a fraction of the money in cash in their bank to cover the money they have in the streets as loans. Generally this can be as little as 10% upto as much as 20% depending on the country and the specific bank. Iraq has their dinars covered at almost three times the value of the dinars out, just sitting in the bank, and at 67 billion in reserves they could have easily defended any exchange rate by putting a premium on the dinar. So for me, this disparity in the street rate and the program rate was never adequately defended and therefore I think Shabibi, being as intelligent as he is took advantage and bought as much dinar as anyone wanted to sell. Remember he even went beyond the auctions when he allowed the banks to sell up to $5000 dollars at a time to anyone wanting to sell their dinars which was a total reversal for him.
The second thing this article seems to imply is that they are expecting that with the recent announcement of the CBI being authorized to raise the dinar, that the demand for the dinar will go up significantly while reducing the auction sales of USD, which also supports the premise that as the dinar goes down, USD sales go up. As the dinar goes up, USD sales go down. They already stirred the currency markets up by announcing they will increase the dinar. People in Iraq are starting to quickly turn their dollars back into dinar to hopefully benifit from a stronger dinar. Somebody on this site asked, "why would they announce this in advance". I think the above article shows why. If you were sitting on a bunch of Euros and you lived in Greese and you just heard an announcement that USD was about to jump in price against your Euro, what would you do? Personally I would liquidate all my holdings and put them in USD to take advantage of the expected price increase.. It's the same thing in Iraq with the one exception that the dinar is their native currency. So the bank's cause and effect is being played out just as I said yesterday.
IMHO they will raise the value in the next week to two weeks. Just before the end of the year.
I believe the jump in terms of a return for those in Iraq smart enough to see what is happening will be significant. A return of anything 20% or more is significant. Currency dealers love this kind of helter skelter in their markets because they make money every time anyone buys or sells a currency. They will profit the most as they buy up all the dollars in Iraq at a discount after just having sold those same dollars in the last couple of months at a premium..

NRL Considers Allowing Players To Be Free Agents As Part Of Salary Cap Review
Published November 1, 2013
The National Rugby League "is considering allowing players to effectively be free agents at all times as part of a widespread review of the salary cap," according to Adrian Proszenko of the SYDNEY MORNING HERALD. The Australian Rugby League Commission "has engaged all major stakeholders, including players, agents, clubs and the media for the first time, as it seeks to modernise the salary cap while retaining a level playing field." Some of the options being considered include: the NRL "centrally contracting marquee players in a system similar to cricket and rugby union;" allowing players to shift clubs at any time, "in spite of contractual ties, if clubs can agree terms;" and implementing a salary cap that includes a limit on off-field spending on resources "such as coaches or high-performance units." The NRL will not implement any of the more radical proposals for next season, "but all options are being examined to provide a system that will cater for the game's needs for decades to come" (SMH, 11/1).

You would gain far more in usable code and international reputation with the people that tell others what to buy than you could ever possibly lose through reverse engineering the small parts of your platform that are not licenced from others.
It would mean apps wold work better, it will make you more appealing to higher end manufacturers.
It would also just be the right thing to do since you are relying on open source software (android/linux) developed this way in the 1st place for your survival
I consider buying MTK6592/MTK6589T china phones. However without support for AOSP + Custom ROMs (CyanogenMod) I will wait to do so.
Best support is only possible trough openess!

I'm a big fan of Mediatek phones and I will love to have the right to enjoy it at its fullest.
Mediatek is doing an awesome job to keep the price low and giving the needed performance at the same time.

Evertonians are taking advantage of the new ticket outlets in Liverpool city centre. The Club began selling match tickets at Everton Two and TicketQuarter earlier this season to make it easier than ever before for supporters to secure their seat for home games. And impressive sales figures show that the city centre locations have proved popular amongst Blues fans.Unsurprisingly the Boxing Day fixture against Wigan was the most sought-after ticket in town as supporters snapped up the perfect Christmas gift, but sales remained high at both outlets for the following home games in December and January. Whether it's dropping into the ticket outlets on a lunch break or during a weekend shopping trip, the city centre locations simply make it as easy as possible for Evertonians to get their hands on a match ticket. The weekend is the prime time for supporters to pick up their tickets, with many also easing the Monday Blues by securing their seat at the beginning of the week so that they can look forward to a trip to Goodison Park.Tickets are now on general sale for the Blues' next home game against Reading on Saturday 2 March, priced from just £31 for adults and half-price for juniors. A special ticket sales point has been created at Everton Two in Liverpool One and a dedicated customer service advisor is permanently located in store. Everton Two is open at 9:30am-8pm from Monday to Friday, 9am-7pm on Saturday and 11am-5pm on Sunday. TicketQuarter in Queen Square, next to the bus depot, is open Monday to Saturday from 9am-6pm and on Sunday from 10am-5pm.

Aldermen ask for Davis' resignation
Published: January 6,2012
Tags: aldermen, elections, mayor, misappropriations, municipal government, Politics, resolution
SOUTHAVEN — The Southaven Board of Aldermen voted 6-1 today to ask Mayor Greg Davis to resign amid allegations he misspent about $170,000 in city funds.
Attorney Steve Farese, who represents Davis, would not comment on whether Davis would resign. He said in a statement that the mayor is taking personal time for medical treatment and he expects Davis to be released from treatment in 30 to 60 days. He would not say where Davis is being treated or the nature of his illness.
Davis has come under increasing scrutiny since November when Mississippi Auditor Stacey Pickering told him to pay back the allegedly improper billings. They included travel, stress counseling, food and liquor. The auditor's office has said one such bill was for $67 at a gay sex shop in Canada.
Davis is a Republican who ran for Congress in 2008 on a conservative platform. After news of the spending was revealed, he admitted he was gay and that he and his wife had divorced. Some of the money Davis was ordered to repay went to counseling for him and his family.
The resolution cited the $170,000 repayment demand by state auditors and said Davis had misled and lied to aldermen about it.
"Most of you have voted time and time again for Greg Davis — I have — because you trusted him," Alderman Greg Guy said. "We did the same thing … we trusted him. He has some down some wonderful things for the city. The way the money has been spent is not the way the money was designed to be spent."
Alderman Randall Huling voted against it, saying no state law supported what aldermen were about to do. He said aldermen have no way to force Davis from office. And without such authority, Huling said, the resolution was just a media show. Huling said aldermen could have been more successful had they talked privately with Davis.
The board heard from local residents, many of whom chastised them for wasting time on the resolution when the city needed to be run or for not taking action sooner.
Guy said the board never got itemized reports on spending by Davis although it will in the future.
Southaven resident J.M. Sparkman said the aldermen individually and as a whole should have stood up and questioned Davis' actions.
"If you can't go over his receipts, take his credit card away from him," Sparkman said.
When the Mississippi auditor's office ordered Davis to pay back the money in November 2011, the agency said it had been investigating his expenses for seven months. He was told to repay $153,589 for expenses, $16,822 for interest and $13,571 for investigative costs. The FBI is now investigating.
Davis is in his fourth term as mayor of the suburb of Memphis, Tenn., that has grown rapidly in recent years to become Mississippi's third-largest city, after Jackson and Gulfport. Southaven's 2010 population was 48,982. Davis served in the state House before he was elected mayor and ran unsuccessfully for north Mississippi's 1st District congressional seat in 2008. As a legislator and a congressional candidate, he talked frequently about being a fiscal conservative.
If Davis resigns, the mayor pro tem would take over until a special election could be held. State law requires that to take place in 45 days.

All those results mean the same thing expressed in different mathematical ways, and expressed as copies or international units per mL of blood. That would be considered a low HBV viral load level.

" When I'm not out with my friends on a Friday night, I love curling up under the covers and watching a movie, perhaps a scary movie (any suggestions?). I don't like football, can't understand it. " I might be a total foodie, but I'm always up for a Sunday Fun Day eating wings and drinking beer with the boys," can go a very long way.

Last week Anjula Manga was being told to stop breastfeeding her baby in public at a Hamilton shopping mall. Yesterday she was back there with a dozen other breastfeeding mums to protest against her treatment.
The food court in Tainui Group Holding's Te Awa Mall at The Base was occupied by breastfeeding mothers outraged at Manga's experience with a mall cleaner.
Manga posted her story on her mum's Facebook page and outraged mothers posted angry comments on Te Awa's page in response. Yesterday, Manga's post had been shared almost 2500 times.
Manga was visiting Hamilton on Sunday to pay her respects to her late grandmother Nana G, who had disappeared in December 2009. Her grandmother was the subject of an intense search that featured in the media for over four months before she was found dead in the Waikato River.
"Even driving here saddens us," Manga, of Auckland, said. " It was more sad that day as it was the first time I'd taken this little one to see my nan."
Waikato mother Katelyn Hooper was so annoyed by the incident she organised a protest in the mall's food court.
A dozen mothers came out with their babies and publicly breastfed to show their support.
Hooper had been told by a member of the public to stop breastfeeding before in Chartwell mall but she stood up for herself.
"It's in our rights to feed our children however we see fit. People said 'cover up'. Have you ever tried to eat under a blanket? It's hard to breathe!" said Hooper to the other mothers.
The women talked about their experiences and expressed their support while they watched a table of people without food who seemed to be keeping an eye on the group.
Director of La Leche League, Alison Stanton, said that mothers shouldn't be forced to stay home to breastfeed their babies. "For us, for mothers, the incident has highlighted that breastfeeding in public is still an issue. The positive outcome would be if other shopping malls take the motivation to look at their policies to make sure there is support for mothers to feed. Breastfeeding is completely natural."
Tainui Group Holdings has gone into damage control with chief executive Mike Pohio promising to hold its own event supporting breastfeeding in August.
"My response to the protest was that I think that's great and we are actually taking an initiative to demonstrate our support for breastfeeding."
Pohio blamed the cleaning contractor for the incident and said any disciplinary action was in the hands of that company. He declined to name the contractor.
Although her two older children have been traumatised by the incident, Manga was proud to see all the mothers supporting each other and hopes they feel more empowered to stand up for themselves. "I'm overwhelmed with how many people are here. People need to be aware there is nothing degrading about breastfeeding."
Nancy El-Gamel is a journalism student at Wintec.

Lotus keen to keep Raikkonen from Red Bull
Apr 16, 2013, 10:51 AM EST
Lotus F1 team owner Gerard Lopez believes Kimi Raikkonen will not leave his team to join Red Bull.
It follows Red Bull owners Dietrich Mateschitz's remarks two weeks ago that Raikkonen was a "candidate" to join the team next year if Mark Webber leaves.
The prospect of joining the reigning three-time champions could be an attractive one to Raikkonen, who won the drivers' championship with Ferrari in 2007. His current contract with Lotus expires at the end of this year.
Lopez told Autosport the team's relationship with Raikkonen is "excellent". He added "We are well where we are and I think Kimi will stay".
The Lotus boss believes Red Bull's mentioning of Raikkonen may have been a tactic to deflect attention from the row between Webber and Sebastian Vettel after the Malaysian Grand Prix.
"Kimi's position is going to be based on a bunch of things and not on what Red Bull say – I think they have their hands full right now."
Speculation continues to surround Webber's future at the team. Rumors over the weekend that he had signed a five-year contract with Porsche to race for their new LMP1 team from next year were denied by the German manufacturer.
Webber raced sportscars for Mercedes before making his Formula One debut.

Even after his latest gaffe, silly Philip is the least of our problems
Modern monarchy, like any oxymoron, doesn't bear too much looking into
In a long and distinguished career of insults towards foreigners and poor people, Prince Philip's latest thick-witted opinion is hardly a star candidate.
On a midweek visit to Luton and Dunstable Hospital, he said to a uniformed nurse: "The Philippines must be half empty – you're all here running the NHS." The nurse laughed.
It's been a busy week in the royals' PR department. An erudite and mildly insulting essay by Hilary Mantel had earlier led to an outbreak of solidarity with the Duchess of Cambridge, and yesterday pictures of Harry Wales hugging a rich 24-year-old socialite on a ski slope were widely circulated.
In previous lives, I had close dealings with people who have worked for the royals. Yesterday morning, I phoned one about Philip's comment. "The minute any royal expresses any opinion, they get slaughtered," he said.
And this is a constant refrain among apologists for the Saxe-Coburg-Gothas, to give them their proper name (they changed it to "Windsor" in 1917 out of embarrassment at sounding too German). It is really two assertions in one: first, our royals are not allowed to have opinions; and, second, they get an unfair press. Both are false.
On the first, last week a story in The Daily Telegraph, house journal of the royals, began: "The Prince of Wales was secretly given sway over dozens of new laws, including those to ban hunting and to introduce the Government's green deal." So perhaps opinions in public are an issue; but so long as they are conveyed in secret, and on issues close to Charles Windsor's heart, having opinions is not a problem for the royals, thank you very much.
As to the second, no subject in history has led to more sycophancy and propaganda, or general abandonment of journalistic scepticism, than British royalty, as any sober reflection on the Diamond Jubilee alone would conclude.
So what my friend in the royal household was really trying to say is that, if only we could see the royals for who they are, unfiltered by media judgement, we should love them. And here, too, apologists for royalty are wrong.
The trouble with modern monarchy, like any oxymoron, is that it doesn't bear much looking into. Britain's emotional contract with our royal family is based on ignorance, and requires a steady flow of propaganda for its nourishment. When we remove the mask from them, as Mantel did this week, what is left – old buffoons who missed the 20th century; young toffs on the pull in Verbier – doesn't scrub up too well.
This would be fine if those buffoons and toffs were left to go about their silly business; but the trouble is, when the mask slips far enough, what is exposed is the emotional infancy of a people too scared to elect their Head of State.

Ratings & Reviews
We began working with John as of May 2013 when we were first introduced to John from our outstanding Realtor represented by Coldwell Banker. Not only was John extremely dedicated to providing us with unbelievable customer service, he was also quite knowledge and well-informed concerning all real estate financial matters. John was always reliable, considerate and a truly thoughtful professional.
We worked with John from May to October 2013 and he was always there for us as our initial contract fell through due to a low appraisal and a stubborn seller. John Shea was consistently flexible and often made time to discuss finances on the phone in any given weekend. John even would make time to send me text messages on financing while attending a weekend NFL football game!
John was able to help us through to having our very first home and we could not be any more grateful. He would constantly educate us and while allowing us to learn alongside him as we were completely new to the process. I could not have been more impressed with not only his awareness, but his determination to give us the best deal possible. We got the house we wanted for less and John provided us with lender credits to assist us in the down payment on the home. John was critical in giving us our pre-approval and to then reach a manageable down payment and related closing costs.
Before purchasing our home, John continued to keep us in mind with market information and floated us down to a rate of 4.25% on our mortgage. To this day, John continues to stay in contact and ensures our well-being.
John Shea is my recommend best choice of a mortgage professional and friend.
Mr. Shea was supportive in helping me lock-in an appropriate interest rate and in a timely manner. He guided me through the experience and used terminology that a layman could understand. He was patient with me and addressed all of my concerns.
John is the hardest working mortgage professionals that I know. He is responsive, knowledgeable and always has the best interests of his client at heart. I have referred John to several close friends and he has delivered, as promised, every time. I would highly recommend his services.
This letter is my personal recommendation for John Shea who worked as a Preferred Loan Officer for Haverford Homes with 1st Mariner Bank. As the Sales and Marketing Manager, I have the great pleasure of working with John. I find him to be consistently pleasant, tackling all assignments with dedication and a smile.
Besides being a joy to work with, John is a take-charge person who is consistently able to present and communicate solutions during the complex financing home purchasing process. John consistently plays a major role in providing financing for numerous homeowners in our communities in Prince Georges County which include St. James, Hillantrae, Addition to Townsend, Belmont Crest, Piscataway Landing, and Poplar Hills.
In addition to providing financing for our customers, John is a leader when it comes to interacting with homeowners. He is always gracious and willing to go the extra mile to make a customer happy. He is always able to provide and communicate solutions in difficult situations.
I highly recommend John Shea at 1st Mariner Bank. He is a team player and continues to be a great asset to any potential homeowner seeking financing and advice.
This review is to show my appreciation for Mr. John Shea, who served as my loan officer for the purchase of my new home on 27 June 2013. John has my sincere gratitude for the outstanding help he provided to me during the loan process. John's talents for home financing are admirable and I consider him the best loan officer I have ever worked with. He made my first time home buying experience a reality. I can wholeheartedly say that he is the reason why I am in my beautiful new home. I highly recommend John to others and they can rest assured that they will be in the best of hands. Thank you John, you are a great man and the sky is the limit for you because of your service to others during the home buying process.
I was first introduced to John from a very well respected Realtor. Not only was John knowledge, informative, reliable and extremely available but he was considerate, caring and a true professional. From start to finish, my wife and I ended up placing a bid on a total of 5 houses (out bid and/or had some inspection NO GOs) all to which John Shea was patient and flexible to achieve our one goal of having our very first home. Throughout the process, I would ask an uncountable amount of questions so as to be involved and understand what was going on and John would answer them in full and not try to speak above my understanding - giving me the chance to grow along the process.
After purchasing our home, John has continued to keep us in mind with market information. When other friends and co-workers share their home buying experience - I realize his expertise and interpersonal relationship is way beyond the norm which makes you appreciate your selection of mortgage lender. His willingness to stay in contact even after the sale is consistent and friendly the way you want it to be... John has even sent over football calendars :) It's details like this that show he wants more than a customer base but more of an ongoing relationship to ensure your family's well-being. Even, right now, I am shopping around for a second home and will only have John by my side to assist with getting the next mortgage.
Overall, John Shea is my top choice of Mortgage Professional.
John was very responsive and helped us to understand the loan process. We were competing for a property, and our offer was accepted in part because of the Selling Agent's positive experience with 1st Mariner Mortgage, and John's pre-approval letter. Thanks to John and the entire team at 1st Mariner Mortgage! -Matt
