Success? It's the name of his game
Tuesday 05 May 1998
Like most successful entrepreneurs, Keith Teare is an obsessive. "I have to be consumed by something to be interested in it," he says.
It is a quality that has come in handy in Teare's present job as CEO and co-founder of Centraal Corporation, a Silicon Valley start-up valued at $10m even before the launch of its product, a URL-shortcutting software called Real Name System that is widely touted as the next big hi-tech thing.
Teare isn't your typical Valley boy. For starters, he grew up on a council estate in Scarborough in the early Sixties, the only child of six to go to university (Kent, to study political science and sociology). Afterwards he set up the London-based Workers against Racism and rallied against British involvement in Northern Ireland. He published a book critical of the treatment of immigrants in Britain under a pseudonym, so that the National Front wouldn't get him.
Working for a small publishing company in 1981, he was put in charge of the computing system. He had never encountered a computer before. "I got completely obssessed," he says.
By 1986 he had translated his obsession into a database and software support company, which he set up with his brother Brian.
The Internet service provider Easynet came later, in 1994, shortly followed by the chairmanship of Cyberia, the Internet cafes.
Centraal grew from Teare's experiences with Easynet in France. While trying to give Easynet subscribers access to Minitel through the Web, Teare hit on the idea of simplifying the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) system to allow users to type in a simple keyword which would link them to the appropriate Web site without the need for complicated dots and slashes. He e-mailed his idea to Jean Marie Hullot, who at the time was the chief technical officer of Steve Jobs' NeXT Software. "Hullot e-mailed me back with one word, `Wow,' and I took that to mean that he wanted in," Teare recalls.
By the end of 1996, Teare and Hullot were ready to launch Centraal, using some $3m of private finance, much of which Teare raised from the sale of his stake in Easynet. In spite of the fact that Hullot insisted on remaining in Paris, Teare chose to locate his start-up in Silicon Valley.
"The Valley is still the centre of technology and it's difficult to forge relationships from outside the area. It makes a huge difference to be able to pop down the road and actually meet people," Teare explains.
As someone dedicated to the Net, he is aware of the irony of attaching such importance to face-to-face contact. But proximity to the action is not the only reason Teare chose to leave the UK.
"I knew we were going to need venture capital. In the US, only five in a hundred venture capital projects get finance, but in the UK it's more like one in a hundred."
His complaints about UK venture capitalists - that they are conservative and risk-averse - are familiar enough, but if he had to single out one obstacle to hi-tech start-ups in the UK it would be the financial sector's "lack of vision".
"Centraal got a valuation rate of $10m and we raised several million dollars of venture capital. That was without having customers or revenue coming in."
He contrasts this with the fate of Cyberia Online, in which he retains financial interest, which had trouble finding funding despite first-year revenues of pounds 500,000.
"In America, risk is part of the system. If it went away, the US economy would collapse because funds coming into the system would have nowhere to go."
Even when they do fund start-ups, British venture capitalists expect a bigger pound of flesh than their American cousins. "In the US, they only want 30 per cent - not 50 per cent - of the company, and there's a lot less interference," Teare says.
But it is Silicon Valley's business culture in general that Teare finds so amenable. "In England," he says (after a year in the US, Teare already refers to England when he means the UK), "people really are trying to do you in. In America, if people can see an advantage for themselves in your technology, they really don't try to steal it. There's much less dirty business."
From his roots in Seventies liberalism, Teare has already made the obligatory Silicon Valley conversion to libertarianism. "There's a really strong sense of openness and freedom here. In the UK, the feeling is that Americans are taught to seem open for marketing reasons, but actually, I think it's hard for Americans to be dishonest."
It is a partial and perhaps naive view, but Teare's enthusiasm is understandable. Right now he has good reason to be in love with Silicon Valley and America. He is, after all, sitting on the next big thing.
When I point out that the US remains highly bureaucratic, Teare counters that the endless tax and regulatory systems can indeed be irritating but "eventually you realise that's part of the openness".
Even litigation isn't the demon we think it is. "Actually it's a more open way of deciding things than quango-isation," observes Teare, and he has a point.
In its first year of operations, Centraal has tangled with its competitors over trademarks and patents, but in true Silicon Valley spirit, Centraal's lawyers, the Valley-based Wilson, Sonsini, Goodrich and Rosati, agreed to defer payment of their fees until such time as the company had banked some venture capital. "For a year they did all our legal work, from incorporation documents to share certificates."
Would it have been possible to have set up Centraal in the UK? "Definitely not."
Aside from what Teare calls (in pure Valley-speak) "a compelling technical story" and an injection of venture capital (in Centraal's case, both from the Silicon Valley venture company Draper Fisher and IdeaLab Capital Partners), the secret to a successful Silicon start-up is - to borrow a phrase - in the wrist action. "The keys are energy, aggression and openness," reckons Teare. "Out here there's no such thing as a successful small company. You start small but you're expected to get big quickly." Failure, if it comes, is swift.
Teare has only ever planned for success. Of the Real Name System, which allows Web users to reach sites simply by typing in company names, brand names, even marketing slogans in European or Asian character sets, he says: "Our idea is so necessary and so obvious that almost nothing can stop it."
Within 24 hours of the launch of Centraal's Real Name System at this year's Spring Internet World in Los Angeles, Teare's start-up had registered 500 Real Name addresses from companies keen to provide potential customers with the simplest possible navigational trail to their commercial Web sites. Since then, Centraal has picked up such blue-chip clients as Disney, Microsoft and Volkswagen, and it is looking to incorporate its Real Name System software into Web search engines, directory listings and, eventually, as an add-on to browsers. Centraal charges a flat annual fee for each "real name" registered and takes a royalty per hit on sites with heavy traffic. It is a compellingly simple idea, and with Centraal anticipating sales of $10m in 1998, rising to $120m in 2000, it is easy to see why Keith Teare is currently Valley's brightest-glowing golden boy.
Teare admits that his transition from social reformer to hi-tech entrepreneur seems a little peculiar, but traces it to "the strong feeling that social change comes from technical change". There is something oddly abstract about making your fortune selling names, and Teare admits to being fascinated by abstractions, not least of which is money. But while there is no doubting that money drives Teare's ambition - he is at the moment busy buying a sweet piece of California real estate - you get the feeling that money is not his primary preoccupation. Teare still has a political scientist's interest in putting abstractions into a social context.
"Something in my education does come through in the way I see technology. I do what I do not through being technical but through being aware of human beings," he says. And whatever Keith Teare does, he does to the max. "I still get a strong sense of uplift from creating things that change the way people behave."
In spite of his careful manner and measured tone, Keith Teare is not a modest man, though he likes to project himself as such. At one point during our conversation, I ask him if vision is necessary to a start-up (Teare doesn't think it is, although it helps), and he goes off on some riff about not liking it when people call him a visionary, without seeming to notice that I hadn't.
Still, you get none of the usual Silicon Valley snake oil with Keith Teare. The CEO of the Valley's next big thing is, after all, a Yorkshireman.
What he does have is the kind of rock-steady self-assurance and focus that has enabled him to turn his obsessions into a series of benign and successful business ventures. And if he is perhaps being a little disingenuous when he claims to feel "prouder about writing a book on racism in Britain than I do about [Centraal]", any kind of perspective, however attenuated, is still rare indeed in the epicentre of hi-tech hyperbole that is Silicon Valley.
"I go after things," says the son of a Scarborough council estate. "The world will pass you by unless you go looking for it."

France opt for tried and tested half-backs
ESPN Staff
November 7, 2013
Remi Tales starts at fly-half for France © Getty Images
France have named Remi Tales and Morgan Parra at half-back for their Test against the All Blacks on Saturday.
Despite Jonathan Pelissie arguably being the in-form scrum-half in French rugby, Philippe Saint-Andre has stuck with the tried and tested Parra at No.9 with Jean-Marc Doussain providing the back-up. Tales made his debut against the All Blacks in the summer, a series the French lost 3-0, and he keeps his spot at fly-half
Martin Gillingham on France
In the back-row, Wenceslas Lauret makes his first start since 2010 while Thierry Dusautoir is named as skipper. Pascal Pape returns to the starting line-up after missing much of the Six Nations through injury.
"I picked Morgan for his experience and his kicking skills," Saint-Andre said. "We will have to be intelligent and focused defensively.
"It is important that the players believe in themselves, that they play with passion and intelligence, but most of all they must release the handbrake. There is obviously some fear when you face New Zealand. We should build on that fear, it must not annihilate us. We will need to run and be creative."

Andhra Pradesh Assembly Rejects Telangana Bill; MLAs Back Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy's Resolution
- Order Reprints

By Gopi Chandra Kharel | January 30, 2014 5:36 PM EST
In what has now become a major embarrassment for the Centre, the Andhra Pradesh assembly has rejected the Telangana Bill as majority of MLAs backed Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy's resolution to reject the bill that creates the new state.
Official website

Reddy had remained poised to reject the idea of bifurcating Andhra and had threatened to quit politics if the bill was introduced in its current form in the Parliament. 157 MLAs gave affidavits affirming that they are against the creation of Telangana.
The extended deadline for the assembly to return the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Bill granted by President Pranab Mukherjee ends on Thursday.
The assembly speaker on Thursday introduced Reddy's resolution to reject the Bill. After the bill was put to a voice vote, the Speaker ruled that most of the MLAs had rejected it.
Telugu Desam Party was quick to react to the news. "This is not a victory. This is the verdict and will of the people that is reflected in the House rejecting the resolution," CNN IBN quoted an MLA.
"This is not a matter of victory or defeat. The Bill has been rejected with the best of intention and not to create problems for Seemandhra or Telangana regions of Andhra Pradesh," MP Renuka Chowdhary said. "This is not a matter of victory or defeat. The Andhra CM is resonating what is the sentiments of Seemandhra. The government will sit and look at it according to the law, Constitution and our view. This will go back to the President."
Apart from being a symbolic exercise, the assembly's vote does not matter as the centre could still go ahead with the formation of Telengana. But the move is likely to pose a moral dilemma for the Centre and the President. It is now within President Pranab Mukherjee's prerogative to clear the bill for discussion and vote in parliament during the session that will start on 5 February.

The Centre Region Bed Bug Coalition is educating the Centre Region community about preventing the spread of bed bugs.
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Bed bugs are making a comeback in apartment buildings, dorm rooms, hotels, hospitals and homes across the country due to people traveling more frequently, resistance to pesticides and lack of public awareness.
To address the issue, the Centre Region Bed Bug Coalition was formed to educate the Centre Region community about preventing the spread of bed bugs. The coalition is a joint effort by Centre Region property owners and managers, the Borough of State College, the Pennsylvania IPM Program, Penn State Entomology Extension, Penn State Housing, and commercial pest management operators to provide education about treatment and prevention of bed bug infestations.
The Coalition will bring awareness to the community about bed bugs, educate property managers, residents, local officials, students and others about bed bug detection and management, recognize that all parts of the community have a role to play in bed bug management, and share information and protocols about bed bug management.
The coalition recently hosted a free bed bug awareness seminar at the Penn Stater Conference Center Hotel. Workshop topics included bed bug entomology and history, treatment and costs, and information on recent litigation and legislation regarding bed bug infestations in rental properties. "Anyone can get bed bugs; infestations are not limited to any one group, and they can be found in single family houses, apartments, or dorms. Because of this, the bed bug problem is a community problem," said Ed Rajotte, PA IPM Coordinator and professor of entomology at Penn State.
David Manos, assistant director of housing at Penn State, agrees. He says that in just over two years there have been about two dozen documented bed bug cases in student resident halls, so they are taking a proactive approach. "Bed bugs are a community-wide issue and it will take community-wide cooperation to develop an effective bed bug management strategy. Our goal is to educate the public and give them tools to manage these pests effectively."
Bed bugs are not a serious health concern, but they can be psychologically draining. Check for bed bugs by examining the entire bed, especially the folds of sheets and seams of the mattress, said Rajotte. "Look for dark blood spots about the size of a pencil point. If you suspect you've already been bitten, check your skin for itchy red bumps."
To treat bed bugs, Rajotte recommends an integrated pest management (IPM) approach using multiple tactics. IPM is a safe, effective, and scientific approach to managing pests that uses knowledge of pests' habits and needs to help implement pest prevention tactics as a first line of defense. Avoid over-the-counter pesticides, Rajotte said. Bed bugs are resistant to most commonly used pesticides. "If you have an infestation, you should seek assistance from a professional, licensed pest control company trained to deal with bed bugs," he explained.
The resident has responsibilities in the treatment process also. "Once the bugs have been identified, quarantine the infected rooms. Wash and dry all soft objects, such as clothing and blankets, using hot water. Bed bugs and their eggs are killed by heat over 113 degrees. Follow the instructions of the pest management professional," said Rajotte.
In the future, the coalition plans on hosting more informational seminars to raise awareness and educate and share information about bed bug management. For more information on the coalition, contact Kevin Kassab, Borough of State College, at email@example.com or 814-234-7191.
For more information on bed bugs, go the Penn State Entomology web site http://ento.psu.edu/extension/bedbugs_info, or visit the Pennsylvania IPM Program's Pest Problem Solver at http://paipm.org.
The Pennsylvania IPM program is a collaboration between the Pennsylvania State University and the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture aimed at promoting integrated pest management in both agricultural and urban settings.

The National Pest Management Association (NPMA) is seeking a qualified regulatory affairs professional to direct the day-to-day management and execution of NPMA's federal and state regulatory affairs programs
The company has been selected by the National Park Service to install and maintain effective termite control systems for 14 national historic sites in the Delaware Valley, including Independence Hall.
Research from North Carolina State University shows that some insect pests are thriving in warm, urban environments and developing earlier, limiting the impact of parasitoid wasps that normally help keep those pest populations in check.

Kendrick Lamar - Hater Love
Artist: Kendrick Lamar
Producer: Cool & Dre
Album: The Me
Avg Rating: 2.3 ( 29 votes )
Throwback Thursday: This week will go down in hip-hop history as the week that Kendrick Lamar and Control took over hip-hop. So for today's Throwback Thursday, we thought it'd be only right to take a look at where it all started for Kendrick, at least where DJBooth is concerned, and bring back the very first song we featured from the then K. Dot, 2008's Hater Love. From K. Dot to even be mentioned in the same breath as rap's all-time greats, even the haters have to admit they love Kendrick Lamar.
K. Dot believes in unconditional love. On his new single, Hater Love, the Compton native makes a tongue-in-cheek confession about loving his haters, without whose efforts he would find himself uncontested, unknown, and unable to make them look whack. And that's half of what rap is all about, right? With a delivery that sounds eerily similar to Lil Wayne's and a mean street drawl, K. Dot sure is talented enough to be hated by those that aren't. Hater Love is produced by Cool and Dre, whose bright fugue of horns and crip-walking piano give the beat a real West Coast feel. If you're feeling the track or just want some advice on how to do deal with the cynics, check out K. Dot's forthcoming self-titled EP.

Clippers fan drains half-court shot, team's lone highlight Thursday (VIDEO)
Feb 22, 2013, 12:05 PM EST
You can insert your own "good thing he didn't have Chris Paul take this shot for him" joke here. I'm not going to go there, the headline was enough.
But when a fan hits a halfcourt shot we're going to show it to you. And this guy is rightfully pumped as he won a Dodge Charger. Nice.
And I will take the hug he got over the one the guy in Miami got any day.

Automobili Lamborghini SpA had built the Diablo SV-R type for the Phillipe Charriol Trophy series, details on these high-power race cars can be found on our Diablo SVR page, unfortunately only a limited amount of SVR were built in those days, most sources state about 30, and only a handful of these cars were later converted to road use.
These 'road legal' cars were however modified by external companies, not by the Lamborghini factory, but some very wealthy customers were able to convince Automobili Lamborghini SpA to build them a road-legal, factory edition of the SVR, called the Diablo SVS models.
Worldwide only two or three of these Diablo SVS models were built, with the same highly tuned engine, gearbox and suspension settings as a Diablo SVR race car but with a completely normal interior finished in alcantara just like on the Diablo SV.
These Diablo SVS models used custom OZ multi-piece wheels with a similar design as seen on the early SVR, later the SVR used mono block wheels but at the first presentation these OZ wheels were mounted.
The car on this page was located in Germany at the time of writing, and the lucky owner had it customized with Strosek front light units which add a little more aggressively to the overall look of this stunning car.
I know about a second Diablo SVS, finished in white over a black interior that was sold to a Japanese collector, if there was a third car, and how it was finished isn't totally sure, but if you know more about these rare Diablo SVS models, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Blue Nile CEO resigns abruptly; 3Q profit falls
Diane Irvine, Blue Nile's CEO and president, has resigned, effective Friday. The Internet jeweler also said its third-quarter sales rose 11 percent from a year ago to $75 million, but its profit fell nearly a third to $1.9 million.
Seattle Times business reporter
Another management change has hit Blue Nile.
The Seattle-based Internet jeweler said Tuesday its CEO and president, Diane Irvine, has resigned from the company effective Friday.
Blue Nile did not give a reason for Irvine's departure after 12 years at the company.
Senior Vice President Vijay Talwar, who oversees Blue Nile's international business, was named interim CEO, effective immediately.
Reached at home, Irvine would not discuss her departure, saying only, "I love Blue Nile. I love the business. I'm proud of what we built, and that never changes."
Irvine has been CEO since 2008, but the company has experienced heavy turnover at the CFO level: Between 2007 and 2011, it named a half-dozen chief financial officers, including one who turned down the job before his start date.
Blue Nile said Tuesday its third-quarter sales rose 11 percent from a year ago to $75 million, but its profit fell nearly a third to $1.9 million, or 13 cents a share. Wall Street projected a per-share profit of 17 cents on sales of $72.6 million.
Blue Nile's profits are being squeezed by rising wholesale diamond prices and a sluggish economic recovery, which has caused some couples to put off getting married. To turn things around, Blue Nile is adding more nonbridal jewelry to its product mix.
In a conference call with analysts, chairman and co-founder Mark Vadon said the company plans to "invest aggressively" in the nonbridal business.
Looking ahead, Blue Nile said its fourth-quarter sales likely will come in between $121 million and $125 million. It forecast a per-share profit of 41 to 43 cents, less than the 45 cents that analysts expected.
Blue Nile's stock plunged $8.31, or 17 percent, to $40.50 in after-hours trading Tuesday. Shares closed the regular session up $3.40, or 7.5 percent, at $48.81, before the announcement of the financial results and Irvine's departure. The stock has traded between $30.32 and $64.45 in the past 52 weeks.
Vadon, who hired Irvine as chief financial officer in 1999, called her a "tremendous business partner." He said he wishes her well "in her future endeavors."
Vadon said he will lead the search for a permanent CEO and take an active leadership role through the transition, working closely with Talwar.
Irvine, 52, formerly the CFO of Plum Creek Timber, rose to become Blue Nile's president in 2007 and CEO in 2008, when Vadon stepped down from day-to-day operations to provide strategic direction.
Talwar, 40, joined Blue Nile in August 2010 after serving as CEO of the William J. Clinton Foundation in India. He became interim CFO three months later after the resignation of Marc Stolzman, now CFO at Everett-based retailer Zumiez.
Talwar remained in the interim post until August, when David Binder became the sixth person in four years to be named Blue Nile's CFO.

Dairy dossier: Tax breaks for working girls, the low price of NY milk, and Chobani's dangerous plant
3/15/12 - 2:53 pm

Q: How is a milk cow like a fax machine?
A: She can be written off as a business expense. And under a new federal law proposed by U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer, D-NY, more of New York State's roughly 600,000 working dairy cows would get deducted annually from the farm bottom line as "capital expenses."
The bill, which Schumer plans to introduce, is aimed at helping not just dairy farmers, but several New York State Greek yogurt manufacturers that have been growing rapidly over the past several years, and showing an insatiable appetite for New York State milk.
Currently, the only time a cow can be written off as a capital expense is when she's just getting started in her dairy career. Once she's already producing milk, even if she changes hands, the buyer cannot write her off as a business expense. (That's a difference between cows and fax machines: A business can buy a used fax machine and deduct it as a "capital expense" on the company's taxes.)
Schumer's legislation, the Dairy Augmentation for Increased Retail in Yogurt Products Act (which almost works out to the acronym DAIRY), aims to change that. A press release on Wednesday, March 14 from Schumer's office has a detailed description of how the bill would work. Here's an excerpt:
For 2012, dairy farm operators can immediately deduct 50 cents of every dollar spent on qualifying livestock purchases, which include the purchase of any 'new' dairy cow not previously used for a business purpose. However, dairy cows purchased from another herd do not qualify for this generous tax benefit. Schumer's legislation would expand the definition of qualifying livestock eligible for 50 percent bonus depreciation this year to include all dairy cows purchased by a dairy farm operator for business use, regardless of whether the dairy cow's original use had commenced with another taxpayer.
The bill would also establish tax-deferred savings accounts for dairy farmers, to help them keep their finances stable in a wildly fluctuating market.
Milk demand high, but price hardly budges
While yogurt companies like Fage and Chobani have shown a bottomless appetite for local milk, the laws of supply and demand don't work neatly on the complicated business of commodity milk pricing. A recent investigation by WBNG found that despite soaring demand for New York State milk, local farmers aren't seeing better prices for their milk:
...the net price of milk in New York is lower than the national average and lower than that of neighboring states.
"Now that we've exhausted our milk supply in New York State, we've gone in to Pennsylvania and surrounding states," said Kelly LaCorte, spokesperson for Chobani, who spoke with Action News at a recent event in Binghamton.
Data from the USDA puts New York's milk price at nearly $1.00 below that for Eastern PA, and $1.40 for states in New England. "You would think they would want to pay more money for local milk and have the better quality," [Sherburne farmer Josh] Lathrop said.
Crackdown on safety problems at Chobani
In other yogurty news: Agro Farma, the company that makes Chobani yogurt, may need to slow down its rampant growth for a while and focus on plant safety. The company faces $178,000 in federal fines for health and safety violations at its plant in New Berlin, the Daily Star reports today:
"Our inspections identified a wide range of mechanical, chemical, electrical and health hazards that, left uncorrected, expose the plant's employees to being caught in moving machine parts or unexpectedly energized machinery, electrocution, falls, being overcome in toxic or oxygen-deficient atmospheres and hearing loss," [Occupational Safety and Health Administration] Area Director Christopher Adams said in a statement.

Question: I have five pet Giant Burrowing Cockroaches and would like to know if they are boys or girls. How can I tell the sexes apart? Is there anything I can do to encourage them to mate?
Answer: Male and female Giant Burrowing Cockroaches, Macropanesthia rhinoceros, are quite similar in appearance. However, it is possible to tell them apart by looking at their pronotums. The pronotum is the shield-like structure just behind the head.

Female Giant Burrowing Cockroaches have a pronotum that is rounded and smooth. The males have pronotums that are much more sculptured. This difference is only obvious in adults and sub-adults; it is very difficult to sex juveniles.
Giant Burrowing Cockroaches usually mate in early summer. You can keep the sexes together all year round, but they may be more likely to mate if you introduce them to each other just before the mating season. Increasing the temperature and humidity of their environment will also encourage sexual activity.
If your cockroaches do mate, they are most likely to do it at night. You should provide your mated females with shallow substrate and a bark shelter. Keep the humidity of their enclosure high and minimise disturbances.

Female Giant Burrowing Cockroaches usually give birth to about 20 live young. The young will remain with their mother for up to 12 months, reach maturity at 2 to 3 years and live for up to 10 years.
More information on the husbandry of this, and hundreds of other species, can be found in the Museum Victoria publication entitled Keeping Bugs Alive! A guide to keeping Australian Invertebrates.
Hi Alex, Giant Burrowing Cockroaches have never before been known to eat each other. Here at the Melbourne Museum we keep individuals togethers for years and never have a problem. Sometimes one will start doing lots of digging and excavating that disturbs its housemates – at which time we will separate them until the excavator settles down. Maybe have a look through the enclosure and ensure there are no predators about.
Dear Joshua,
The ideal humidity for Giant Burrowing Cockroaches (Macropanesthia rhinoceros) is about 60%. These cockroaches live in the northern parts of Qld but they can often be found in sandy coastal areas where humidity is relatively high, as well as more arid inland areas where humidity is significantly lower.
The best way to provide this is to spray the substrate daily if the enclosure has no lid or if the lid is well ventilated. Less often if there is little ventilation. Try not to spray the entire substrate, and instead spray a wide strip along one edge so that the cockroaches themselves can determine where they want to hang out.
More information on this and other invertebrate species can be found in the 'Bugs Alive' book produced by Melbourne Museum, or on online forums.
We love receiving comments, but can't always respond.

Fifty Shades of Grey Movie Cast Update: Eloise Mumford Named As Kate Kavanagh, How About Elena "Mrs. Robinson" Lincoln Role?
By Staff Writer | November 25, 2013 08:12 AM EST
Fifty Shades of Grey movie cast team has finally found "Laters Baby" love interest Kate Kavanagh. Universal Pictures and Focus Features has cast Eloise Mumford to play one of the last few if not the last major character in the highly anticipated movie for 2015, according to Variety.
Like Us on Facebook
The "So Undercover" star will be playing the character of a confident blond who is working at the Washington State University publication. Kate Kavanagh's character is the one responsible for Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey's meeting.
The billionaire hunk grew fond of Anastasia then asked her to sign a deal based solely on sexual relationship with him.
The Fifty Shades of Grey movie cast, Mumford can easily fit the bill of a socialite, confident blond bombshell.
The 27-year old actress is a Pacific Northwest native who graduated in New York University, she is also an alumni in Atlantic Theatre Company who started out as an understudy for Elisabeth Moss' Broadway Speed -the-Plow.
Fifty Shades of Grey movie cast, Eloise includes direct-to-video comedy "So Undercover" role in her resume, where she played Suzy alongside Miley Cyrus.
The American stage play actress also starred in the ABC paranormal series "The River" for four months then it was cancelled by the network last year.
She also starred in the 2010 indie military comedy "Drones."
Irish model and actor Jamie Dornan replaced "Sons of Anarchy" star Charlie Hunnam last October after the latter dropped out from Fifty Shades of Grey movie cast on September.
Jamie Dornan will be playing the lead role of billionaire sadomasochist Christian Grey opposite Dakota Johnson who will be playing the innocent looking college student Anastasia Steele.
The pair recently posed for the cover of Entertainment Weekly, where Dornan was quoted saying,
"I certainly don't fear it," pertaining to the controversial role that he has to portray.
"I already got a glimpse into working with [director] Sam [Taylor-Johnson] at the test, and I'd met [co-star] Dakota [Johnson] by then. So I had a glimpse into how I felt it would be if I got the part. None of it scared me."
Eloise Mumford on the other hand, will be playing opposite Luke Grimes where Luke will play the role of Christian Grey's brother Elliot Grey.
Other major role in the film will be played by Jennifer Ehle as Carla, Ana's mom and Victor Rasuk as Jose Rodriguez, Ana's photographer friend who's in love with her.
The Fifty Shades of Grey movie cast will be going to Vancouver next week to shoot the film, however one major role in the film hasn't cast yet, Elena "Mrs. Robinson" Lincoln.
No word on who's going to play what seems to be the last major role of the film yet. Watch out for updates here.

The 5 divisions HP is most likely to sell

Hewlett-Packard's latest yearly report included a new phrase that suggests the company might be looking to sell some of its underperforming assets.
"We also continue to evaluate the potential disposition of assets and businesses that may no longer help us meet our objectives," HP (NYSE:HPQ) wrote in its annual 10-K briefing to investors and the SEC.
Related: HP may sell off underperforming units
If HP were looking to sell, what might be on the block? CEO Meg Whitman and Co. are playing mum when it comes to specifics, but one need only look at HP's balance sheet to see what the real dogs are. Based on financial performance, here's the five units the company might want to get rid of.
Obviously, when we're talking about "not meeting objectives," nothing even comes close to Autonomy. HP was forced to take an $8 billion writedown on its $13 billion acquisition of Autonomy just a year after the deal went through. Fraud allegations on both sides aside, the fact remains that basically none of the synergies between the two companies that made the deal make sense have materialized, and HP hasn't been able to realize much revenue from the merger. Further, Autonomy is basically a hangover from the strategy of Leo Apotheker, who wanted to take the company in a completely different direction than current CEO Whitman.
There's just one problem, though: in order to make a sale, you need a buyer, and HP has already broken the cardinal rule of salesmanship: Never talk down your merchandise. After spending the past few months caterwauling about what poison the enterprise search business is, HP might find Autonomy to be a hard sell.

The Birdie: 'You do the math'
TribLIVE Sports Videos
The Birdie always likes to take the easy way out. Therefore, it's no surprise he was a C student.
When he was in high school, he hated advanced math classes because, "We're never going to use this stuff."
He was wrong. The A-K's foreteller of football foolery didn't realize he'd have to figure out WPIAL playoff tiebreakers by crunching numbers.
He yells a "Come on man" across the newsroom, doing his best Cris Carter impression.
"I love the playoffs, but I hate the mental exhaustion and feather-plucking it takes to figure out who gets into them," Birdie said, frantically erasing an equation in his notebook with his partially-chewed Dixon Ticonderoga. "Head-to-head, plus-minus, 10 for a win, 10 for a loss, Gardner points. Aaahhh!
"I only give Gardner points to my landscapers after they cut my grass."
He does a full sprint toward the copy machine and leaps like Troy Polamalu but lands head-first into a trash can.
Frazzled, the Birdie brought in a trigonometry professor from Penn State New Kensington to help uncover lies and break ties.
"This stuff is crazy," Birdie said. "Let someone else do the dirty work. Just tell me who made it. I'll tell you who's going to win."
Luckily, all of the local playoff teams have been decided, so he can turn off the calculator.

TribLive commenting policy
You are solely responsible for your comments and by using TribLive.com you agree to our Terms of Service.
We moderate comments. Our goal is to provide substantive commentary for a general readership. By screening submissions, we provide a space where readers can share intelligent and informed commentary that enhances the quality of our news and information.
While most comments will be posted if they are on-topic and not abusive, moderating decisions are subjective. We will make them as carefully and consistently as we can. Because of the volume of reader comments, we cannot review individual moderation decisions with readers.
We value thoughtful comments representing a range of views that make their point quickly and politely. We make an effort to protect discussions from repeated comments either by the same reader or different readers.
We follow the same standards for taste as the daily newspaper. A few things we won't tolerate: personal attacks, obscenity, vulgarity, profanity (including expletives and letters followed by dashes), commercial promotion, impersonations, incoherence, proselytizing and SHOUTING. Don't include URLs to Web sites.
We do not edit comments. They are either approved or deleted. We reserve the right to edit a comment that is quoted or excerpted in an article. In this case, we may fix spelling and punctuation.
We welcome strong opinions and criticism of our work, but we don't want comments to become bogged down with discussions of our policies and we will moderate accordingly.
We appreciate it when readers and people quoted in articles or blog posts point out errors of fact or emphasis and will investigate all assertions. But these suggestions should be sent via e-mail. To avoid distracting other readers, we won't publish comments that suggest a correction. Instead, corrections will be made in a blog post or in an article.
