Album: Quincy Jones, Q: Soul Bossa Nostra (Qwest/Interscope)
Friday 03 December 2010
Soul Bossa Nostra: the title, a pun linking Quincy Jones' emblematic '60s instrumental "Soul Bossa Nova" (of Austin Powers dance-routine fame) with intimations of his don-like hegemony over black American music of the last five or six decades, gives some impression of the producer's massive, mafioso-like presence in American music culture.

Saturday 25 September 2010
New Release: Mark Ronson & The Business Intl, Record Collection, Columbia
Friday 24 September 2010
Amy Winehouse may be reportedly peeved at Mark Ronson's taking too much credit for her success, and piggybacking his own solo career on that success, but she shouldn't worry overmuch about him stealing her vocal limelight: for as Record Collection brutally reveals, the über-producer of his era turns out to be an ünter-singer, his weedy vocals here failing to bring to life any song on which he takes the lead.
Diary: Unproductive behaviour
Tuesday 21 September 2010
Mark Ronson has developed an unfortunate habit of putting his foot in it (you'd almost think he had a new album to promote). First, there was his comment, in an interview with Esquire, that he regretted dating a certain 'It' girl: "I look back on it," he lamented, "and think, 'God, did I really just step into the cliché like that?'" Said cliché was, gossips presumed, his relationship with model Daisy Lowe, whom he ran into at the GQ Men of the Year awards, to which she was accompanied by her new boyfriend, Doctor Who. Then, on Friday night, Ronson told Jools Holland that as a producer, he had taken Amy Winehouse's demos and from them "created" the hits on her album Back to Black. "[R]onson you're dead to me", Winehouse tweeted in response, "one album I write an [sic] you take half the credit – make a career out of it? don't think so BRUV". The lingo is authentic, though Ms Winehouse's account remains unverified by Twitter HQ (so may not, in fact, really be hers). It's also possible she was joking.
Shaka Zulu, Stables Market, London NW1
Saturday 18 September 2010
Any restaurant whose launch party can bring together, under one frenetically decorated roof, the King of the Zulu Nation and Amy Winehouse, has surely got to be worth a look. Shaka Zulu is an 800-seat mega-venue that styles itself a "theatre of food and drink". It's in London's Camden Market and it has a South African theme. Talk about a triple threat.

Chinese hackers exploited the Heartbleed Internet security flaw to steal data on 4.5 million patients of Community Health Systems Inc., the first known breach of a company by use of the vulnerability
The massive security vulnerability that dominated headlines this Spring is still a risk because so many servers have not been patched, says researcher
Security researchers have uncovered new bugs in the Web encryption software that caused the pernicious 'Heartbleed' Internet threat that surfaced in April
The Heartbleed bug proved that if we want to rely on open source software, we need to support it so it can be properly maintained.
Amazon.com Inc, Cisco Systems Inc, Facebook Inc, Google Inc, IBM, Intel Corp and Microsoft Corp are among a dozen companies founding a Heartbleed crisis group
RCMP said Wednesday Stephen Arthuro Solis-Reyes, a 19-year-old London, Ont. man, has been charged with compromising the CRA's Internet software by using the so-called Heartbleed computer bug
Canadians were not told about the Heartbleed intrusion until Monday, raising fresh questions about the government's reaction to the cyber security attack
If you're freaked out by the security threat posed by Heartbleed and considering identity theft insurance, here are five questions to ask yourself
As questions mount about the security breach of taxpayer information from the Canada Revenue Agency website, the RCMP said Tuesday it had asked the CRA to hold off informing the public for investigative reasons
The hackers exploited a "six-hour window" that at least one expert said could have occurred between the time the Heartbleed bug had become publicized and the CRA's shutdown
These entrepreneurs took a successful pitch and maximized the potential of the Shark they partnered with, turning fledgling companies into a national brands

Sedro-Woolley company stumped by log theft
A Sedro-Woolley company is offering a $500 reward for the return of a section of a log with tree rings dated back to 1600.
The Associated Press
A Sedro-Woolley company is offering a $500 reward for the return of a section of a log with tree rings dated back to 1600.
Events such as the Declaration of Independence and Civil War are marked by the ring growth. The tree died in 1895 when it was nearly 300 years old.
The crosscut section is about 4 feet wide and 2 feet deep. Until a couple of weeks ago it was on display in Hamilton on property owned by Janicki Industries, a Sedro-Woolley engineering and manufacturing company.
Marketing Director Kathleen Olson says the piece of Skagit Valley logging history weighs several hundred pounds and would have required heavy equipment to move.
Olson says she hopes it was taken by a history buff and not for firewood.

Perfectly matched!
Tami from Rio Rancho, NM– Verified Buyer
I needed a slightly taller lamp table for an empty space that needed illumination. This one at near 30" high not only fits perfectly, but it compliments well with an antique (and matching dark stained) sewing cabinet that I use as a corner table with a lamp. So while they are different items, the new nightstand pairs perfectly in color and height with the sewing cabinet, in the same room, without being too perfectly matched. I love it. It's solidly built and very attractive.
Jane from Fritch, TX– Verified Buyer
This nightstand was made very well. I was really surprised how well it was made. Very heavy wood makes up the nightstand. Impressed as to the quality.
Perfect size!
Janice from Granger, IN– Verified Buyer
Just the size and style I was looking for. Perfect delivery, all assembled and prompt delivery. The color has a red tone to it and I would have preferred a darker brown tone, but it worked out. Happy with the tables.
How easy is this!!!
Susan from Havertown, PA– Verified Buyer
So easy to just take out of the box and set in place. The finish is distressed, you really need to appreciate that style in order to like the piece. It coordinated well with the other pieces we have in our sons' bedrooms. Great value for the price
Great nightstand buy
Debbie from Oklahoma City, OK– Verified Buyer
quite nice piece of furniture. only difference from the online picture is that the color is darker and a bit more reddish. Nice and solid, and does not require assembly. Very nice nightstand. I would recommend this table.

Eric Tucker goes back to school
Considering that lost time is not found again, Ive been thinking...
Should we make our children go to school in the summer? It may ease the dread of going back to school (Im thinking of the teachers here) by removing the summer break entirely. Im just saying.
No doubt, most folks would answer with an authoritative "No! Thank you for asking." Fans of Schoolhouse Rock will recognize the beginning of that authoritative response as an "interjection." I chose to set it apart from the sentence by an exclamation point.You could use a comma when the feeling is not as strong. The younger generation might use an emoticon frowny face :(, as a form of interjection.
Ah, my misspent youth, filled with lost time and wasted in front of the television watching the same stuff repeatedly. I picked up some things by repetition, as exemplified by the Schoolhouse Rock reference above. Now, as one notices the pool water gradually cooling, it's time to pull our kids away from the televisions, video games, beaches, and street corners. Summer vacation is ending. :(
One of the best weeks to stay at the beach is the first week in September. This is a moot point for anyone whose youngest child (a.k.a. "the accident" or "the favorite" depending on the audience) is entering kindergarten, and whose first child has yet to finish school. This select group of families gets to go to Target with a different list of school supplies for each kid. Certainly there's a good reason the classroom needs so many tissues up front. I'll assume it's because the boys won't have long sleeves available until the weather cools.
Classrooms trigger my day dreaming tendencies. Sure, many times it's hard to differentiate pieces of information I was not listening to from those I forgot, those I misunderstood, and those that others forgot to tell me. Im now back in the classroom on what is commonly known as Parents Night (a.k.a. "Back to School - or "Date Night" for couples who dont otherwise get out.)
I carry a positive attitude into the school, eager to learn what goes on during our child's day. Our kids, the boys in particular, tell us nothing. The nightly discourse goes something like this:
Q. "What did you do at school today?"
A. Nothing.
Q. Nothing?
A. "Learned stuff."
Q "Like what?"
A "I don't know."
Q Who sits at your table?
A "I forget."
Q. What did you do at recess?
They think evasive answers deter me. But tomorrow is a new day with more fruitless questioning.
At parent's night, lamentably, shortly after the opening "Thank you for coming tonight..." I tune out quite by accident. It's like when a waitress lists the nights specials. I hear the first one and try to picture it. Meanwhile, she's on auto-pilot rattling off the dishes she's memorized. I can't conceptualize the first dish and listen to the following ones at the same time. That's multitasking, which is physiologically impossible. Once I go back to listening I'm lost and then just nod my head till she leaves and ask someone at the table what was said. When I'm driving with the family, I tune out everything. If I notice voices trying to get my attention, I ask my wife to repeat what was said. The kids do that, too. We always ask Mommy to repeat what someone else said when we didn't hear/weren't listening. (Try this in your home!)
Back at Parents Night, it's not long after I start pondering the teachers first bullet item that the classroom triggers a Pavlovian response cultivated over 17 years of schooling and my mind wanders here, there, and everywhere. Once I realize that I'm lost, theres no getting back in the groove. I can't even ask a question for fear of looking like an idiot. What's the point? I'll only forget what was said - and I can always ask Mommy what I missed.
One thing I picked up at these affairs is you can expect to find one of two types of teachers on Parent's Night. First, there is the highly motivated teacher who is eager to employ the latest teaching theories. The second type is the one who has taught before. No doubt, both types deserve our love and support to the extent that they don't grow complacent.
The teachers deserving of the most praise, however, are those who assign the least amount of homework. Do their pupils learn any less? Someone should apply for a grant to study that. Summer is a nice break from the blessing of overseeing homework.
When our little angel was in first grade, one of her weekly assignments was to cut letters out of magazines and paste them together, like a ransom note, displaying the weeks spelling words. She did not persist at this pointless preschool task. It fell to me to do most of the cutting. I still cant spell well, proving the exercise was pointless. Mercifully, her younger brothers were spared that task.
In summary, its time for back-to-school. Compared to the Monmouth County Youth Detention Center, a possible alternative, its not that bad.

More woe for Hodgson as Reds crash at home to bottom side Wolves
Liverpool 0 Wolverhampton Wanderers 1
Wednesday 29 December 2010
Liverpool's lack of match practice cost them dearly as they lost an eighth Barclays Premier League match of the season as bottom side Wolves won away for the first time since late March.
Snowy weather had forced the postponements of games against Fulham and Blackpool, meaning the Reds had not played in the league for 18 days.
That showed as they lacked invention and energy - even with the return of Steven Gerrard from six weeks out - but the visitors did have that spark and ended a run of six successive defeats away from home thanks to Stephen Ward's first Premier League goal.
The last time Wolves won at Anfield was 27 years ago next month when Steve Mardenborough scored the only goal of his Wanderers career.
But there could be no complaints from the home side who did not do nearly enough to extend a six-match unbeaten home record stretching back to their fateful loss to newcomers Blackpool on October 3.
Those were the dark days of the Reds' campaign, when they were lingering in the relegation zone after their worst start for 57 years.
Roy Hodgson cannot afford a return to those times with his side 12th in the table and owners New England Sports Ventures still deciding how much money they are willing to give the manager to strengthen the squad in next month's transfer window.
All but Martin Skrtel, Sotirios Kyrgiakos and Dirk Kuyt, had not seen any competitive action since the 3-1 defeat at Newcastle on December 11.
The aforementioned trio had played small parts in the goalless Europa League draw at home to Utrecht but the rest had spent the last two and a half weeks training at Melwood.
It was not apparent from this display as there was a lack of cohesion and fluidity which Wolves were only too happy to take advantage of.
The minute's applause for former Liverpool defenders Avi Cohen, who died aged 54 after a motorbike accident, and Bill Jones - grandfather of Reds right-back Rob Jones - who passed away aged 89 - had barely faded away before Raul Meireles had a chance to put the hosts ahead.
Maybe the lack of match practice contributed to his failure to open the scoring after just seven minutes but it was a poor excuse if so.
Fernando Torres' quickly-taken free-kick left George Elokobi floundering but the Portugal international shot straight at goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey and Richard Stearman cleared the loose ball.
Liverpool's strikers fed on scraps throughout - Torres did not have one opportunity - as Wolves pressurised the man in possession and defended solidly.
David Ngog's left-footed shot from 25 yards was easily claimed by Hennessey as Liverpool struggled to break down Wolves, who were enjoying plenty of possession themselves.
With the visitors finding room on their left it prompted a tactical switch, with Gerrard moving to the right and Meireles returning to the centre where he had enjoyed his best performances.
It lasted only until half-time as Gerrard reverted to the middle.
Again the Reds could have taken an early lead as Dirk Kuyt's pass to Glen Johnson inside the penalty area set up Ngog but he hooked wide from six yards.
Wolves defender Ronald Zubar was slightly closer with his shot on the turn as he at least forced Jose Reina, on his 200th Premier League appearance, into a low save.
It was an omen of things to come as in the 56th minute the visitors took the lead after a mix-up between Skrtel and Kyrgiakos allowed Sylvan Ebanks-Blake's through-ball to squeeze between them.
Ward raced in behind to poke home the first goal conceded at Anfield in 478 minutes in all competitions.
Ngog was replaced by Ryan Babel just past the hour, a decision met with derision by the Kop - who not for the first time this season briefly chanted the name of Kenny Dalglish.
Liverpool were wobbling and only a last-gasp block by Johnson prevented Jarvis making it 2-0.
Hodgson's final two substitutions sent on Joe Cole and Fabio Aurelio for Meireles and Paul Konchesky.
Two minutes from time Skrtel headed in Gerrard's free-kick but he was well offside.
Wolves fans sang "How bad must you be? We're playing away" and on the night it was difficult to argue with that.
The Kop appeared to be in agreement, responding with "Hodgson for England".

"The Japanese have this understanding of ikigai. As usual, this term does not have one, simple translation into Russian language, but is most often interpreted the following way: 'that which gives meaning to your life, and makes you easily get up each morning with a sense of joy and successfully, richly and happily live out the day.' Information security is this for me today and, over the course of the past 20 plus years the situation has not changed; this is ikigai", – Business Consultant on Information Security at Cisco Systems and member of PIR Center Advisory Board, Alexey Lukatsky.
«I believe that the choice of the subject of the programme is of particular importance at this day and age. I am certain that through academic partnership we shall make our invaluable contribution to increased global security at various levels», –MGIMO Rector Professor Anatoly Torkunov.
"After the G-20 summit in Brisbane, a moment of clear decision-making comes for Moscow on what outcome it expects for the crisis in the south-east of Ukraine. G-20 summit was one of the last points, where the Kremlin could decide to soften its position on Ukraine and improve relations with the West. However, the country has not taken advantage of this opportunity", – Member of the Royal Institute of International Relations, journalist Konstantin von Eggert.
About PIR Center
PIR Center is an independent nongovernmental organization, which carries out research, as well as educational, public awareness and publishing activities, and provides consulting services. From the time of its founding in April 1994 to this day, the priority areas of the Center's research studies remain international security, control and nonproliferation of weapons of mass destruction. PIR Center is in consultative status with the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).
PIR Center is a Moscow-based organization. In addition, Centre russe d'etudes politiques founded on the PIR Center initiative at the territory of the Canton Geneva represents the organization interests in Europe.
The first project and the trademark publication of the PIR Center was the Yaderny Kontrol journal, the pilot issue of which came out in November 1994. The Russian and international establishments and expert communities have recognized Yaderny Kontrol as the source of objective analytical information on the subject of nonproliferation of weapons of mass destruction and arms control. The understanding of the complex character of current security problems brought the existing group of authors and the editorial board to the decision to expand the scope of the journal and to release the new edition under the title Security Index. Beginning in 2007, the journal is published four times a year in both Russian and English. The English edition of Security Index is published by Routledge publishing house and distributed from London worldwide. In 2012 a landmark 100th issue of the Journal came out in print.
PIR Center has become a leading Russian nongovernmental research organization in the area of international security. In its day-to-day operations, the Center maintains close contacts with executive and legislative agencies. The Center receives considerable support from its Advisory Board that numbers more then 60 individual and corporate members.
Since 1997, the PIR Center has been developing educational programs in the area of nonproliferation and international security. Under its educational projects, the Center closely interacts with the leading Russian higher education institutions: MGIMO, MEPhI, St. Petersburg, Tomsk and Novosibirsk State Universities and others. With the appointment of PIR Center President Vladimir Orlov in 2001 as a UN consultant on disarmament and nonproliferation education, the Center won international recognition in the sphere of education.
PIR Center makes intensive efforts to involve young specialists in its work. The Center staff in different times included recent graduates of the top Russian higher education institutions, such as MGIMO, Moscow State University and MEPhI. Their professional development, however, would be impossible without support and advice given by experienced senior colleagues: one of the founding fathers of the nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, Doctor of History, Ambassador Plenipotentiary and Extraordinary, Professor Roland Timerbaev; Doctor of Military Sciences, Lieutenant-General (Ret.) Vasily Lata etc.
The Center has around 20 staff members working on various short- and long-term projects.
Since its establishment, the PIR Center has been publishing materials on nonproliferation, arms control and international security either in its periodicals or as monographs of the PIR Center Library series.
PIR Center for International Studies Autonomous Non-for-Profit Organization is listed in the register envisaged by the paragraph 10 of the article 13.1 of the Federal Law of the Russian Federation "On Non-profit Organizations".

Charles Krupa, Associated Press
NEW YORK — Some lucky fliers capitalized on a computer glitch Thursday and scored some really cheap flights on Delta Air Lines.
From about 10 a.m. to noon ET, certain Delta fares on the airline's own website and other airfare booking sites were showing up incorrectly, offering some savvy bargain hunters incredible deals. A roundtrip flight between Cincinnati and Minneapolis for February was being sold for just $25.05 and a roundtrip between Cincinnati and Salt Lake City for $48.41. The correct price for both of those fares is more than $400.
Trebor Banstetter, a spokesman for the Atlanta-based airline, said the problem has been fixed but "Delta will honor any fares purchased at the incorrect price."
Jackie Fanelli, 27, learned about the super cheap fares from a friend's Facebook page. She attempted to purchase a $98 roundtrip first-class ticket from her home city of Baltimore to Honolulu on Priceline.com but the transaction didn't process before the deal was shut down.
"It was too good to be true," Fanelli said. "I try to go away every other year and this was not the year."
Delta's website was having lingering problems from the increased traffic Thursday afternoon.
"It looks like Delta's programmers had a little too much eggnog yesterday," joked George Hobica, founder of AirfareWatchDog.com, which promotes airfare sales.
It's likely that the airline tried to tweak its fares with a $10 or $20 system-wide change and a junior programmer made a mistake or two, he said.
"People just go wild. People have been bragging about booking six first-class tickets to Hawaii," Hobica said. "People hate the airlines so much that when this happens, they say: I'm going to get back at you for the time you broke my suitcase and didn't pay for it."
Other airlines have faced the same issue. In September United Airlines experienced an error in filing fares to its computer system. Many customers got tickets for $5 or $10, paying only the cost of the Sept. 11 security fee.
New Department of Transportation regulations, aimed at truth in advertising, require airlines to honor any mistake fares offered.

Atlanta Falcons: Sean Weatherspoon's Pockets Take a Hit
In a 34-31 win over the Buffalo Bills in overtime, Atlanta Falcons linebacker Sean Weatherspoon was fined a little less than $20,000 for his hit on the Bills rookie quarterback E.J. Manuel.
Early in the first quarter, as Weatherspoon drilled Manuel to the point where where he had to temporarily miss a snap, the referees blew their whistles and threw out their flags on the play, giving Weatherspoon the penalty of roughing the passer. With that play, the Falcons were penalized 15 yards.
While Weatherspoon is making a good chunk of money, being fined a little less than $20,000 had his pockets feel a little lighter after. The usual amount of money charged to player for this type of hit is $15,750. As the NFL continues its mission to further protect the position that is the most valuable to every single team, they are making it very tough for defensive players to even tap the quarterback after the ball is released out of the signal-caller's hands.
Along with Weatherspoon, teammate William Moore was also flagged for unnecessary roughness, but did not receive a fine from the NFL. For Moore, he was called out for tackling Bills receiver Robert Hoods a little too high. For the time being, it seems as if Weatherspoon was the only one to pay a fine. Despite the flags, the Falcons played one of their most complete games and will try to continue their momentum in the four games remaining on their 2013 campaign.

Rentacenter dosen't care about their customers loyalty and are unwilling to help a person out!!In trying to get an extension on my payment I had to repeat my story 10 different times to 10 different people because no one knew what the other was doing including management.
A message was left on my phone and relayed so fast it was unintelligable. They say they want your business and even after you've been a good loyal customer for over a year refuse to work with you in hard times. Come on people, everyone needs help sometime! After I paid off my washer I swore I would not go back.
Then they suckered me in with a supposed $100 credit. Big mistake on my part.
I've had continued issues with them for 2 or more years now.They will not get me again.bf94284

my Wife and I have been asking RAC for a final payout receipt for more than a bedroom set, Mac laptop, TV and Stand for more than three months now and keep getting the run around. We finally refused any further payments on our last items-Washer&Dryer-until we received a payout receipt, all of a sudden I am offerred a letter but still no receipt. I made my purchases at Conn's and financed them thru RAC, worse thing I could Have EVER done. I should have just bought it all out and bitten the bullet on spending the money all at once instead of spreading it over three 849.67 payments.
No one has answers or resolutions, but i get plenty of collection calls and threats.

MEDORA, N.D. (AP) — The bighorn sheep population in North Dakota has increased to its second-highest level on record, but hunting licenses still will not increase in the near future.
Western ND bighorn sheep population healthy
The state Game and Fish Department's annual March sheep survey in the Badlands found 297 bighorns, up 5 percent from last year. The count does not include about 30 bighorns in the North Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park, which is under federal management.
"Nearly all of the lambs we counted during last summer's survey survived the winter," Big Game Biologist Brett Wiedmann said.
A record number of 316 bighorns were counted in 2008, but three harsh winters followed. Wiedmann said this year's bumper crop of lambs indicates a healthy population, but that will not be reflected in increased hunting licenses for several years because the number of rams remains much lower than it was in 2008.
"Consequently, we'll likely have to continue to be conservative with hunting pressure for a few years, but the future certainly looks promising," Wiedmann said. "Adult mortality was also low last winter, so we expect another good crop of lambs to begin hitting the ground within a couple of weeks."

Founded in 1974, the NBCC is a nonprofit organization of book reviewers and critics that honors outstanding writing and fosters a national conversation about reading, criticism, and literature, in part through annual awards for the year's outstanding books. Books are directly nominated and chosen by leading book critics. The NBCC thus offers the unique opportunity for professional critics to recognize and reward literary excellence.
Since its inception in 1996, Books for a Better Life has recognized more than 600 self-improvement authors and has now raised more than $1.8 million for the New York City - Southern New York Chapter's comprehensive support services and educational programs for people living with MS, their friends and families. The Awards recognize self-improvement authors whose messages are aligned with the chapter's mission of inspiring people to live their best lives.
Established in 1990, the Discover Award honors forthcoming new work by debuting and underappreciated authors, and is based solely on literary merit.
The Theodor Seuss Geisel Award is given annually to the author(s) and illustrator(s) of the most distinguished American book for beginning readers published in English in the United States during the preceding year. The winner(s), recognized for their literary and artistic achievements that demonstrate creativity and imagination to engage children in reading, receives a bronze medal. Honor Book authors and illustrators receive certificates, which are presented at the ALA Annual Conference. The award was established in 2004 and first presented in 2006. It is named for the world-renowned children's author, Theodor Geisel, a.k.a. Dr. Seuss.
The Laura Ingalls Wilder Award, established in 1954, honors an author or illustrator whose books are published in the U.S. and have, over a period of years, made a substantial and lasting contribution to literature for children. The award is named in honor of Laura Ingalls Wilder, author of the popular Little House series of books, which later became the basis for a television series. Wilder's first book, LITTLE HOUSE IN THE BIG WOODS (1932), was published when she was 65, and she received the first award in 1954.
The Schneider Family Book Awards is donated by Dr. Katherine Schneider, and honors an author or illustrator for a book that embodies an artistic expression of the disability experience for child and adolescent audiences. Three annual awards are presented for the best Teen, Middle School and Children's Book.
The Claudia Ann Seaman Award for Young Writers was created by the Seaman family in memory of their daughter and sister, a young poet. The CAS Award acknowledges excellence in teen writing in poetry, fiction and creative nonfiction.
Each year, the editors of the New York Times Book Review narrow down the best 100 books of the year and refine that list to the top 10 Best Books of the Year from that selection.
Annually since 1952, the Book Review has asked a panel of judges to select 10 winners from among the several thousand children's books published during the year. The judges this time around were Robert Sabuda, a co-creator of the best-selling "Encyclopedia Prehistorica" series and twice the recipient of a Times Best Illustrated award; Elizabeth Bird, a children's librarian with the New York Public Library, whose first picture book, "Giant Dance Party," is due out next year; and David Barringer, a novelist and designer who is the author of "There's Nothing Funny About Design."

Herbert's jinx strikes again
Monday 05 August 2002
Johnny Herbert's recent run of bad luck continued as an early accident severely dented his hopes of American Le Mans Series victory at Trois-Rivières, Quebec, before a storming drive earned the Briton third place.
The three-times Grand Prix winner damaged bodywork early on in the three-hour street race when he tangled with Steve Knight's MG, forcing Herbert to pit for repairs. He changed the damaged rear bodywork in a lightning pit-stop dropping to the back of the 26-car field but charged in to the lead after 70 minutes.
At mid-distance, the pole-starting "factory" Audi of Frank Biela and Emanuele Pirro led Herbert by 14 seconds with the Audi driven by Rinaldo Capello and Tom Kristensen, which started 20th after qualifying problems, third.
Herbert briefly regained the lead before handing over to co-driver Stefan Johansson after 128 minutes around the 1.52-mile circuit. But the Swede collected a stop-go penalty for overtaking in a waved yellow flag area, effectively ruling the Champion Audi out of contention.
The Swede lost a lap to the leaders as he served the penalty, leaving the pair third as Kristensen and Capello took victory for the third time in six ALMS races this season. "To win from that far back on the grid on a circuit this small is a tribute to our team," Kristensen said.
Herbert commented: "It was a good race, just a shame that another car ran into me at the start. I managed to get back into second position and led briefly. In the end Stefan was unfortunate, we lost a possible victory. We still finished third which is a good result. However, it was not so good for me that Tom and Rinaldo were the winners which gave them points for the championship I needed."
AMERICAN LE MANS SERIES (Trois Rivières, Can): 1 R Capello and T Kristensen (Infineon Audi R8) 166 laps; 2 F Biela and E Pirro (Infineon (Infineon Audi R8) + 17.802sec; 3 J Herbert and S Johansson (Audi R8) +1lap.

/ Cheap accommodation in Ticino
This topic has been archived, and won't accept reply postings.
CosmicHobo - on 18 Jan 2013
Anyone know of any cheap accommodation for 1 in the Ticino/magic wood area? Looking at anything really, hostels, hotels, gites. Planning on staying for a month so something that can book for that kind of time would be good too.
rob.s22 on 21 Jan 2013
In reply to CosmicHobo: I know there's a fairly rustic place called La Finca on the edge of Cresciano. Walkable distance from the boulders there too. Was �15/night sleeping on hay beds.

Dearth of Women at the Top Marks a Loss for Companies
Special from The Record
Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential bid may have produced 18 million cracks in the political glass ceiling, but the corporate glass ceiling has proven much harder to shatter.
As of 2006, less than a third of the nation's largest 1,500 public firms counted at least one woman on their senior management team, according to Standard & Poor's. Less than six percent of those firms claimed two top-tier female managers that year, and just 12 Fortune 500 companies were headed by a woman.
|Columbia Business School Professor David Ross
Such statistics may be depressing for women's rights advocates, but it turns out the situation they reflect may be detrimental for firms that hew to an all-male executive philosophy, says David Ross, assistant professor of management at Columbia Business School. Together with his colleague Cristian Dezső, of the University of Maryland, Ross has uncovered data showing that having a higher percentage of women in senior management is positively associated with better performance by a company.
"We document that those firms with some level of female participation in the upper echelon substantially outperform their peers, on average," says Ross. "And we find evidence that suggests that it is the presence of these women that is driving the superior performance."
Ross says that having even a single female manager on an executive team, for example, is associated with a three percent increase in a firm's market-to-book ratio, a measure of the current value of a company. Ross, a former vice president with Citigroup Investment Banking, now studies how firms organize themselves in order to influence their competitive behavior.
His research has gained the attention of his academic peers. "David shows there is a smoking gun here—that there are gender differences in management styles that impact the bottom line, which is somewhat unexpected," says Ben Campbell, a professor at Ohio State University. As the findings become public, "It's going to be harder for the old-boy network to persist and ignore what women managers can bring to the workplace," says Campbell.
Ross's argument has been echoed by many influential people who point to Wall Street's all-male executive suites. Columnist Nicholas Kristof of The New York Times recently opined that the nation might not be in the same mess today if Lehman Brothers had been "Lehman Brothers and Sisters." In a January Washington Post op-ed column, Barnard President Deborah Spar wrote, "It may be that women perceive and act on risk in subtly different ways; that they don't, as a general rule, embrace the kind of massively aggressive behavior that brought us a Dow of 14,000 and then, seemingly overnight, a crash of epic proportions."
To reach their conclusions, Ross and Dezső measured the success of the 1,500 public firms over 14 years ending in 2006. They tracked the success of the firms by using traditional metrics, such as the market-to-book ratio, return on assets and annual sales growth.
The study provides evidence for the existence of the so-called female management style, Ross says, which holds that female executives tend to manage in a more democratic way, as opposed to the more autocratic approach associated with the stereotypical male boss. That democratic style fosters creativity, teamwork and desire to solve problems, says Ross.
In addition, he notes, research indicates that male managers are prone to overconfidence, which may have contributed to the current financial crisis.
The study, which is in the process of being submitted to a major journal, finds that the presence of senior female managers is most strongly associated with superior performance in firms that put high emphasis on innovation. Such firms often belong to creative industries and tend to spend disproportionately on research and development.
"There's often a tradeoff between doing right and doing well," says Ross. "But we see that providing more opportunities for talented female managers is doing right and well."
