text: Silverstone Practice 3: Vettel tops as Red Bulls relish rain 5 July, 2014 Sebastian Vettel fastest in wet FP3 at Silverstone Red Bull Racing moved to the top of the timesheets as wet weather led to a disjointed final practice session ahead of qualifying for the British Grand Prix at Silverstone. Sebastian Vettel went quickest, on intermediate tyres, with a lap of 1:52.522, to finish 0.109 ahead of team-mate Daniel Ricciardo. Lotus' Pastor Maldonado was third fastest, half a second adrift of the Red Bulls. However, aside from a number of installation laps, Mercedes' Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari's Fernando Alonso, Friday's quickest drivers in the dry, opted to remain in the garage and none set a time during the unpredictable session. The Mercedes drivers' outings were characterized by quick sectors, however, but though Hamilton was at one stage half a second up on Vettel's time, he aborted the lap and returned to the pit lane. The session began in uncertain fashion with a damp but drying track giving teams a tyre selection headache. Rosberg ventured out but having described the surface as frustratingly somewhere between intermediates and slicks, he returned to the garage to wait for a change in the weather. It was a tactic employed by most and they rewarded as the half hour mark approached and drizzle turned to steadier rain, prompting teams to bolt on a mxi of intermediate and wet tyres in advance of a qualifying session that forecaster say has a good chance of being wet. Max Chilton, though, did not take to the track. The Marussia driver completed an installation lap early on but after returning to the garage a gearbox problem was discovered and the change of unit led to him sitting out the remainder of the session. The gearbox swap means Chilton is set to get a five-place grid penalty for tomorrow's race. There was further disappointment for Marussia when Jules Bianchi lost control at Turn 15 and hit the barriers, though with no great damage sustained. Turn 15 also caught out Sauber's Adrian Sutil and Hamilton, though both were able to continue on. With Maldonado third, fourth place went to his Lotus team-mate Romain Grosjean. In spite of his off, Sutil's pace was good enough for fifth, ahead of Toro Rosso's Daniil Kvyat, who recorded the highest number of laps during the tricky session, with 15. McLaren's Kevin Magnussen was seventh ahead of team-mate Jenson Button. Ninth place went to Williams' Valtteri Bottas and the top 10 order was completed by Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen.

About 1,900 people were invited to attend the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. And as Britian's Royal Family prepares, our Beth Croughan found out how this compares to the local wedding held by a First Family.
KINGSTON, N.Y. -- This past July, all eyes were on the Hudson Valley.
"I know it definitely brought more business here," explained Karin Hlywiak of Cinderella for a Day Wedding Planning.
Dutchess County was the site of America's "Royal Wedding." It's where former first daughter Chelsea Clinton tied the knot.
"You know, there was a lot of talk and it did focus attention on Rhinebeck," said Judy Lewis, the owner of HudsonValleyWeddings.Com.
Leading up to the ceremony, there is plenty of speculation from the dress to the guest list. But afterwards...
"You really didn't hear too much about it afterwards. I didn't really find that anybody really followed anything or the trends," said Hlywiak.
"As a matter of fact, I have no recollection of what she was wearing," added Judy Lewis.
Something Lewis said won't be the case after Kate Middleton walks down the aisle.
"I spoke to the folks at Chamonix, they have a bridal salon in Rhinebeck. Their feeling is that the brides, that the engaged women are now waiting for the Royal Wedding to see what she's going to be wearing," she said.
She also spoke with staff at Kingston Fine Jewelery who told her they've already had requests for Kate's something blue.
"That blue sapphire with those diamonds around it," said Lewis.
And Lewis said staff at the specialty shop Vivian and Lulu in Rhinebeck are seeing another trend catch on.
"The phones are ringing off the hook because she's a hat person," she explained.
But it's not just the fashion that wedding planner Karin Hlywiak said brides will copy.
"She's going to bring back an element of tradition that has been lost," she said.
A tradition celebrated by dukes and duchesses and even us common folk in the colonies.
"I think we need a fairy tale. We need a happy ending, we need a happy beginning," remarked Lewis.

News in Brief
Willie May will officially become acting director of NIST when Patrick Gallagher leaves government on June 13.
Willie May, who has been leading the National Institute of Standards and Technology while Director Patrick Gallagher served as acting deputy secretary of the Commerce Department, will officially take over as acting director of NIST when Gallagher steps down on June 13.
May is a 42-year veteran of NIST. In his most recent position as associate director for laboratory programs, he was responsible for the operations of NIST's seven labs. A chemist by training, May led analytic chemistry research at NIST for 20 years. He began his scientific career at the Oak Ridge Gaseous Diffusion Plant.
May takes over an agency responsible for establishing security standards for federal information systems, voluntary cybersecurity guidelines for the private sector, and measurement and technical standards for a range of scientific, manufacturing, industrial and technological areas.
Gallagher is leaving the government to become chancellor of the University of Pittsburgh.
Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories are collaborating with colleagues at Rice University and the Tokyo Institute of Technology to develop new technology that could lead to significant improvements in airport passenger screening, medical imaging, food inspection and other applications.
The researchers unveiled their work on terahertz detectors, which are based on carbon nanotubes, in a technical publication in May. Sandia issued an official statement on the research on June 11.
Historically, the terahertz frequency range, which falls between the ranges used for electronics and optics, has presented great promise and vexing challenges, the Sandia researchers said. Detectors that operate in the terahertz range can more easily penetrate fabric and other materials and could provide less intrusive ways to screen people, cargo and food, they said.
Researchers said they were able to wrap together several nanoscopic-sized carbon tubes to create a macroscopic thin film containing a mix of metallic and semiconducting carbon nanotubes that might be the core of future super-sensitive detectors.

Nearly 30,000 Texas Students Opt Out of Vaccinations
Nearly 30,000 Texas students are not vaccinated. The reason they aren't getting immunized? The Texas Department of State Health Services says their parents opted out.
It's a big decision. "I didn't anticipate that it would be, but ultimately it was kind of a difficult decision because you don't ever want to do anything to your child that's potentially going to hurt them," said Molly Martinez who has a seven-month-old daughter.
Molly and her husband, Manuel, ultimately decided to vaccinate their daughter, but not before doing their research. "You hear horror stories and it's scary," said Molly Martinez.
Not all parents come to the same conclusion. Sandy Headley, the Director of Health Services for Round Rock ISD, says the parents of 824 students choose not to vaccinate. This is a slight increase from last year. Austin ISD also reports a slight increase.
"A lot of time it's religious. Another reason is a lot of parents feel like it's not safe for their child and that it may cause Austism," said Headley.
We see the same increase statewide. Nearly 30,000 students didn't get shots. "If the parents have a religious belief or just a conscientious objection they can go to the state, get a form notorized and not get the vaccinations," said Headley.
At 1.74 percent, Travis County is one of the counties with the highest number of conscientious exemptions for childhood vaccinations. That's 2,806 students.
At the same time, Cindy Crouch with the Williamson County and Cities Health District says we're seeing an uptick in preventable diseases. "We're seeing an increase like in Pertussis."
84 cases of whooping cough were reported in Williamson County in 2012. The upper respiratory disease is very contagious and most severe for babies.
According to the Texas Department of State Health Services, 1,635 students did not recieve vaccinations in Williamson County in the 2011-2012 school year.
For parents like Molly and Manuel it's a tough call, but the risks of diseases like whooping cough and measles outweighed the possible side effects.
"Our decision was vaccinating which could potentially hurt them, and not vaccinating which could potentially hurt them," said Molly Martinez.

150 things to do in New York City on weekends 2012
Learn pétanque in Bryant Park

You may think it's a haughty version of bocce, but you'd be wrong. Get the inside track on the game with a free lesson from a member of the La Boule New Yorkaise club (labouleny.com) at the Bryant Park courts. Just stroll up and find the instructor in the club's T-shirt, and he or she will school you on the basic rules in around 15 minutes. You're free to stay and play with the clubs's equipment as long as you like (although it does get busy during lunch) and receive further insights on strategy and tactics.
- Gravel courts at the corner of Sixth Ave and 42nd St
Commune with nature in Battery Park
- Critics choice
- Free
Avoid the crowds in Central and Prospect Parks by taking a stroll through Manhattan's verdant southernmost tip. The green space is home to two gardens: The seven-year-old Bosque, which covers three acres and features 140 London plane trees; and the Gardens of Remembrance, where you can see more than 100 different types of perennials. Stop for a bite at one of the food kiosks dotted throughout the park: An outpost of Zak Pelaccio's Asian-inflected BBQ joint Fatty 'Cue opened there in 2011, along with Fatty Snack, which offers treats like shaved ice ($3), cookies ($3) and milkshakes ($5).
- Enter at State and Whitehall Sts
Take a ride at Coney Island
- Price band: 1/4
Last year, the Scream Zone annex expanded Luna Park with two modern roller coasters, the Soaring Eagle and the Steeplechase, as well as the Sling Shot, which hurls two people 150 feet high into the air, and a spinning disc called the Zenobio. But for our money, the rickety Cyclone remains the scariest, especially because it celebrates its 85th birthday this summer.
- 834 Surf Ave at 8th St, Coney Island
Relax on The High Line
- Critics choice
- Free
Opened in 2009, this highly anticipated outdoor park sits on the elevated infrastructure built on Manhattan's West Side in the 1930s. Today, sumptuous gardens and outdoor sculpture adorn this magnificent walkway, which is also an excellent place to enjoy a view of the Hudson River. Check out our complete guide to events on the elevated park, plus things to do nearby.

A ski getaway to New Hampshire is a fun winter vacation that'll keep your heart warm and your wallet full. NY1's Valarie D'Elia filed the following report.
There's a winter wonderland of value in New Hampshire.
Spending New Year's Eve in a New Hampshire motor inn couldn't be a further stretch from Times Square.
But this just off the highway location four hours from Manhattan proved to be a surprise find as the second stop along my "Getaway Not Far Away" itinerary between Maine and Pennsylvania.
With 17 rooms in all, some facing the river and a few dog-friendly, each includes free WiFi, continental breakfast and passes to the local gym.
Clean and comfy, with the bonus of super-powered showers, Jack Daniels proved to be a perfect pit stop.
Turns out the inn, located in the town of Peterborough, is 9 miles from Crotched Mountain where the Ski, Stay and Save package is $89 per person based on double occupancy. Kids 16 and under are free.
"The basic package is one night's lodging, two adult lift tickets and a $25 dining voucher," Eric Lorimer of the Jack Daniels Motor Inn says.
Extra discounted lift tickets are available for $43 each. Crotched Mountain brings the concept of Apres Ski to a new level with the entire mountain -- and its 25 trails -- lit for night skiing every Friday and Saturday into the wee hours with their Midnight Madness event.
"There's a special ticket from 5 p.m. to 3 a.m. or 9 p.m. to 3 a.m.," John Young from Crotched Mountain says. "There are live bands, slopeside bonfires and food and drink specials in the Onset pub."
Additionally, 16 New Hampshire resorts that are part of the Ski New Hampshire group are offering free skiing and snowboarding perks to first timers in January, as well as learn to ski packages for fourth and fifth graders.

NASA to launch a probe directly into the sun's atmosphere
There's a lot we still don't understand about the sun. In fact, for the most part we can only guess — though NASA wants to help our observations be more direct. The agency is announcing a new mission, Solar Probe Plus, which would send a spacecraft to the sun.
The probe, which will be around the size of a small car, has to be designed to operate in what's thought to be the sun's hottest region: its atmosphere. Also called the corona, it's estimated that it could be as much as one hundred times hotter than the photosphere, which is the surface of the sun.
To that end, the craft will employ two different solar panel arrays to collect energy. A main array that will operate during the journey to power the ship's propulsion, while a second set will be made of liquid-cooled panels made of heat-resistant cells for when the probe studies the sun from a distance of 3.7 million miles. This is where we could find that we still don't have the tech to study the sun, as the high amounts of radiation the a temperature approaching 1400° Celsius could knock the probe out.
The Solar Probe Plus mission is right now aiming for a 2018 launch.

5. Barack Obama vs Mitt Romney. Epic Rap Battles Of History Season 2.
There's only one clip on the top 10 list that relates to the American presidential election: a goofy rap battle between an Obama impersonator and a Romney impersonator. In these post-election days, it's lost some of its punch — but you'll still cheer when Lincoln swoops in to show those two how a real president spits rhymes.
4. "Call Me Maybe" by Carly Rae Jepsen — Feat. Justin Bieber, Selena, Ashley Tisdale & MORE!
Carly Rae's official "Call Me Maybe" video has been viewed a staggering 361,625,417 times, but it wouldn't have earned a fraction of those views without this "home video," featuring Biebs and friends horsing around as they lip-synch the song. Congratulations, kids: You launched a phenomenon. And before this song came into our lives, we missed it so bad.
Before Jason Russell's bizarre naked rant, there was the filmmaker's online campaign to raise awareness about Joseph Kony's brutality in Uganda. It's the only serious video on the list, as well as the one with the weirdest aftermath.
2. Somebody That I Used to Know — Walk off the Earth (Gotye — Cover)
Five musicians + one guitar + one insanely catchy tune = a viral video that could be defeated only by a certain well-dressed Korean rapper.
Yup. You knew it was coming. Hey, sexy lady!

Competition is eternally existential. We compete for love, money, attention, fame, wealth, recognition, and sometimes, we even compete for food. Turns out humans aren't the only species who must to compete to survive. All living things must do it. Even trees in a deep forest compete for sunlight by growing as quickly as possible forgoing width for height.
What I find most interesting about competition is how we or any being chooses to do it. When a competitor catches us unaware, they usually achieve this through using some form of subterfuge. Like growing in a smaller segment of the market. Focusing on a neglected geography. And the really smart competitors disguise what they are doing so you don't even see them coming. A little like Google has done to Microsoft who was overly focused on the 'desktop', while the world was moving to web app's and gathering and storing of information externally.
I noticed this phenomenon first hand recently. My business was moving along swimmingly (which in this case is my tomato plantation). As you can see from the photo below. My Roma's looked healthy and almost ready for the picking:
But upon closer inspection a competitor had been eating away at my market for quite a long time without me noticing. Once I turned around the tomato to inspect the back side of them – I was devastated to find my competition. They caught me napping and had a very big impact on my market share. As can be seen here:
How did they manage this?
- The caterpillar was smart enough to attack on the reverse side out of view.
- His color is exactly the same as the tomato proving an excellent camouflage.
- He waited till the market was already developed (by me) and the tomatoes had a reasonable size and were worth attacking – in this case risking his life over!
- In true terrorist fashion he penetrated the market at one entry point and ate it inside out. That is, the caterpillar was so deep inside the market, he was completely out of view.
None of this was by mistake. It has been driven by millennia of evolutionary survival and subsequent genetic coding. Nature is smart.
The implications for startups are many. When we start out to compete, the best thing we can do is replicate what nature does. Stay out of harms way. Stay small and unseen. Try and gain some momentum and size. If we're lucky will have built our share of the market and be ensconced before anyone notices.
(FYI – I picked the tomatoes, and placed them in another location of the garden to let the caterpillars fight another day – they may just leave some seeds which will flourish next season!)
Cool Clothing & Rockstars
Rockstars don't wear cool clothing. The clothes become cool because the Rockstars happen to be wearing them.
True rockstars are just themselves. What is cool, is their performance and attitude. This is then translated.
Rock star as defined by startup blog only includes people who play in 'real' bands and generally rock out. Just like 'the Clash' and Anthony Kiedis below.
If you ever want to have, be or work on a cool brand or startup – this blog entry is worth pondering.
People Watching
If you're an entrepreneur and you've never been 'people watching', then start up blog strongly recommends a session. For a lot of reasons it's a cool thing all entrepreneurs should do. For one, all our revered entrepreneurs are champion trend spotters. And they spot these trends a long time before they are reported in the Sunday newspaper lift outs.
What's next?
Go some where busy, go somewhere where there are zillions of transactions, go somewhere sans commerce, go where families hang out, go somewhere singles hangout, look for the subgroups, watch people looking at shelves in stores – guess their decision process, see if this process is the same for all or different for all, see what they wear, see how they move, how did they get there, where are they from, bring a notepad with you and write down ideas, go places you've never been before…. Watch people, guess their motivations, view their life in action and then we'll be the ones gaining life experience…. Just go and watch.
The funny thing about our world is that we are all in it every day, but very few of us are actually paying any attention to it. Step off the stage and become the director. Make it a habit to pay attention to what is going on in our world.
As entrepreneurs and marketers we are lucky. We can do our homework everywhere we go, and our start ups are the key beneficiaries.
The Wingman & advertising awards
The following is a true story as told by Ender Baskin:
A few mates went out for some beers at a local bar. They were young, vibrant guys who where looking to meet some girls. Fine. One of the guys had a very cool t-shirt which said the following:
"Don't get too excited I'm just the wingman."
The group of boys all loved it. They thought it was very cool, awesome in fact. They were certain it could only enhance his changes of meeting a girl on said night.
As expected people 'did' love it. They all came up and remarked on how funny, cool and smart the t-shirt was. Only problem was, it was all the blokes who happened to remark upon it.
This parable is a a little bit like the type of advertising that wins awards. The producers and colleagues in the industry love it. Yet award winning advertisements don't always sell the product. Cool and funny is great, often a nice bonus when communicating with our people. But if the basic objective isn't met, we're better off with something less cool that actually works.
Beer is the new wine
I recently had some beers and a meal at a place called Little Creatures dinning hall in Melbourne Australia.
For the uninitiated, Little Creatures is a craft beer which has it's origins in Australia and has recently opened a flagship 'dinning hall' – seen below.
They've simply taken this to a new level. I'm not taking about the fact that they have weird and groovy beer flavours, all naturally brewed. I'm talking about the way they take you on a personal journey with their service.
My favourtie was the beer education programme. They have a 'pony show' – I don't think it's called that, but it is what I'll call it for this post.
You get a taste in little groovy pony glasses of all their different beers, then choose one you like. One of their 'Little Creatures Beer Experts' comes and sits down on your table with you and they explain all the different types of beers. A real sit down for 10 minutes. A rare treat when the usual sitiation is waiting 10 minutes for crappy service in bars and restuarants. They teach you how to taste each beer and the slight nuances of each. They even provide an idea what type of people generally like the different types.
It's really nice and fun. I even heard the word "sessionable" to describe a beer – They invent some nice jargon to make you feel part of a tribe. Cool.
No need to advertise this little venture. We'll do that for them….
And this is what cool startups are doing in retail.
2nd worst shop front of all time

Nature or Nurture?
I noticed this morning that a particular area of my box hedge isn't growing as well as other areas. See the two photos below.
In order to remedy the situation I thought about what the different things I could do:
- Ensure the poor performing area was getting enough water
- Make sure the soil wasn't poisoned in that particular area of the garden
- Remove the weeds from the periphery
- Add some fertiliser to the struggling area
- Aerating the soil with a hoe
- Ensure the area is getting enough sun
In fact, I'll try the methods above. What I wont do is 'remove' the box hedge. I really need it because it forms part of the garden perimeter. It provides the required symmetry. It's an integral part of the garden. I will give it the extra attention it deserves, and talk to it. I won't pretend it will fix itself, because I know that is just a fantasy.
So, why do we take the opposite view with our staff / employees or business partners? We rarely ask first what we can do, and most often just 'cut them out', get rid of them, or even chastise their performance, before we look at the reasons for it. Maybe they:
- Aren't getting enough cash to do their part?
- Maybe their part of the organisation has structural issues?
- Maybe they have non functional 'hangers on' stealing time & resources?
- Maybe we need to invest in some training or programs to boost the area?
- Maybe we need to give them more space & freedom to perform?
- Maybe we are not providing enough reward & recognition?
You've probably noticed how many of our people problems have strong analogies to my box hedge. In fact, both nature and people, need nurturing.

Tough times
In tough times, operating in a non revenue generating business gets difficult. All your business may even dry up.
It doesn't mean these activites aren't important, it's more a reflection of human behaviour. Unless the link of the activity to the transaction is clear – it will get pulled. This is true for consulting, marketing budgets or even your job. So the question we then must ask is this – how close are we to where money changes hands? Are we close to the transaction or in the backroom somewhere?
The further say we are from the money – the greater redundency exposure we have, in business and employment. Closeness to money is why many real estate agents who are often intellectual dodo's still make big dollars. I'm sure you can think other examples too.
If you want to be an indispensable business partner in tough times, make sure you are close to the money.

Company Mantra – It's in the game!
While watching a documentary on the evolution of video games I heard the coolest company mantra ever.
It was from EA sports, the gaming company which focused on creating games which closely represented the real thing. More important for startups was how they got there. One of the key developers came up with the internal motto "if it's in the game, it's in the game". This later evolved to be the brand tagline "It's in the game!"
EA went the extremes to put everything 'in the game'. Some of these extremes include:
- Getting the actual TV commentators to do voice overs on the games
- Licensing teams, sporting organizations brands & players
- Getting the actual athletes in the studio to get each players exact movements
The result being amazingly realistic games. Amazing games which wouldn't have been possible without the mantra – a mantra which simply did not accept compromise.
Mantra is only powerful if we embrace it in every thing we do. EA sports did and went on to be a $4 billion US company with large profit margins.
What is your startup mantra?

- paid content
- pay to read
- Rupert Murdoch
- subscription fees
- The New York Times
If online newspapers forced you to pay, would you read them?
Rupert Murdoch (above, left), CEO and Sith Lord of News Corp (which owns a variety of book, magazine and newspaper publishers including HarperCollins, The New York Post and The Wall Street Journal) is one of the most vocal — not to mention powerful — forces driving the idea that online news websites should charge for the content provided. Typically, news sites and blogs rely on advertising money to stay up and running.
The Wall Street Journal, owned by Murdoch's News Corp, is one such news site that charges a subscription fee for access to all of its articles. The New York Times, which isn't owned by News Corp, recently announced that it would also adopt a subscriber "pay wall" model in 2011. It's no secret that the magazine and newspaper industry is in trouble, and pay walls are seen as one way to help stop the bleeding.
Not all outlets see adopting pay walls as the way to go. Alan Rusbridger (above, right), editor of The Guardian, recently gave a speech in which he defended the virtues of free content and relying on ad revenue. One of the big fears behind the pay wall structure is the fact that it'd turn certain readers away, which would lower readership and drive down ad revenue.
Rusbridger called Murdoch out directly:
"Rupert Murdoch, who has in his time flirted with free models and who has ruthlessly cut the price of his papers to below cost in order to win audiences or drive out competition this same Rupert Murdoch is being very vocal in asserting that the reader must pay a proper sum for content — whether in print or digitally."
More than just a different way to provide content, Rusbridger sees the Internet as adding a vital layer to journalism — an interactive, evolving one — that could be damaged by forcing regular readers of a periodical to pay. Casual readers could come and go, but "loyal" readers, as Rusbridger describes them, would seemingly be punished.
Murdoch, in response, said that he hadn't listened to or read Rusbridger's speech but that the general idea "sounds like BS" to him. He didn't say "BS" exactly, of course. He used the version not fit to print.
So, where do you stand? Sound off in the comments, and don't forget to hit up our poll below.

Top Chef wraps up Season 9 on Wednesday with its reunion episode (9/8c, Bravo), and if you ask us, it couldn't come a moment sooner.That's not because we want to see Heather and Beverly square off, but we want to move on as quickly as possible from this underwhelming season. The series proudly boasted about its biggest season ever — 29 contestants! three cities! — in the state with the biggest motto of all, Texas, but it turns out bigger is not necessarily better. Between the new twists and the umpteenth team challenge, Season 9 was but a shadow of its former Emmy-winning self — and that's not even counting the overwrought drama between Beverly and Heather, Sarah and Lindsay. (Let's be real — there'll be drama every season.) Here are six reasons Top Chef: Texas has been a big letdown.

Sarah Grueneberg came up short to Paul on the Top Chef finale, but if you ask her, she did win. "I feel like I won too," she tells TVGuide.com. "I truly believe that. I woke up [the day after the finale aired] with this great calm. There is no more nervousness and nothing to be ashamed about. I'm really excited for my career now. It was overall a positive experience. I can't be more proud of how I did. If I'm going to be second, I couldn't think of a better way and a better place to be." But what part of her final meal cost her the title and $125,000? See what she thinks below. Plus: What's up with her and Beverly?

What was going through Paul Qui's head when Padma Lakshmi named him Top Chef? "I was honestly so tired that I think I missed it and I had a really delayed reaction," he tells TVGuide.com. "But then I realized she [said my name] and I was super excited." In addition to his big win over Sarah, the Austin-based chef set a record this season for most elimination challenges wins (eight) and won another $60,000 on top of his $125,000 grand prize. How does he plan on using the money? And why is he so calm, cool and collected? Find out below. Top Chef's Lindsay: I didn't take enough risks Congratulations! The judges kept reiterating that it was really close. Did it feel that way to you? Paul: Thanks! Yeah. I didn't have any idea. I wanted to win, but it could've gone either way. You never know what's going to make or break it and sometimes you still don't. Your dad was adorable crying on the side after you won. Paul: Oh yeah! I've never seen my dad cry like that. It was pretty...

When does frozen mousse trump perfectly cooked halibut? When you're on Top Chef! Despite her nearly inedible, ice-hard confection, Sarah — with some major backing from Tom Colicchio — made it to the finale with Paul over her pal Lindsay Autry, whose error-free, albeit less creative, dish sent her packing. "I think they were really nitpicking at that point and it came down to doing something risky like what she did against me being great, but not risky enough," Lindsay tells TVGuide.com. "I know I didn't make any mistakes, but I guess they wanted to see more." Was she surprised that her well-made dish lost to such shoddy execution? Find out below.

After re-entering the competition following her Last Chance Kitchen victory and earning a spot in the final four, Beverly Kim's second Top Chef stint came to a quick end when she lost all three rounds in the Olympics-inspired tasks. "I was eliminated twice! How many people can say that? I think it was easier to watch this time, but it was still very heartbreaking for me," she tells TVGuide.com. "I really did want to win and I definitely wanted to go all the way. I wasn't ready to go so early the first time. I think this time was OK. I hoped for more, but given the circumstances, I gave my best. I'm really glad that I made it far enough to show my cooking, so now people can see who I am." But the Chicago-based chef couldn't show off her culinary style completely in the challenges that were more Top Athlete than Top Chef. Does she think the challenges were unfair? And does she hold any grudges toward Sarah, Lindsay and Heather? Find out below.

The old adage ''Time heals all wounds'' may have no stronger proponents than Dinosaur Jr., a band whose original, critically adored lineup violently broke apart two decades ago, only to re-form in 2005 without missing a beat (or swinging a punch). Farm owes more to Dino's poppier mid-'90s alt-rock heyday than the '80s albums recorded by this configuration. Still, frontman J Mascis is more than capable of stirring up a whirlwind of melodic feedback, suitable for heshers of any age. B

About the time I retired at the end of 2011, I heard of Kiva from my brother.
What is Kiva about?
It is a cycle where you make a loan of $25 to someone who has applied through a Field Partner in their country. While the loan is happening, you get updates each month of how much has been given back to you. Once you have been repaid the money, then you can cycle again and start a new loan. Check out this video of Pedro the farmer and how his loan works.
I began with 2 loans and as at December 2012 have donated 20 loans of which 4 are completely paid back. I have just added a widget to my sidebar, showing the loans I have made.
Instead of doing it alone, I decided to join a team or group with similar interests. As one of my hobbies is genealogy I joined the "Genealogists for Families" team. We have 252 members from all around the world and in total have made 1,794 loans.
If you would like to make a loan, click my link here. Every loan made by my invitees means I also get to make a new loan.
Why not look into Kiva as a way of studying microfinance in school? It is another way of bringing the world to your students and they can do something to help other families around the world who are less fortunate than themselves.

Ninth Circuit to Rehear CAFA Mass Action Removal
The Ninth Circuit en banc has agreed to rehear a panel's split decision on mass action removal under the Class Action Fairness Act that created a circuit split on the removal issue. See Romo v. Teva Pharm. USA Inc. (9th Cir., en banc, 2/10/14).
This case presents the issue of whether removal was proper under the "mass action" provision of CAFA when plaintiffs moved for coordination pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure section 404. CAFA authorizes federal removal for mass actions when "monetary relief claims of 100 or more persons are proposed to be tried jointly on the ground that the plaintiffs' claims involve
common questions of law or fact. . . ." 28 U.S.C. § 1332(d)(11)(B)(i). The panel originally concluded that this CAFA jurisdictional requirement was not met under the totality of the circumstances in this case, and affirmed the district court's remand order.
More than forty actions have been filed in California state courts regarding products containing
propoxyphene. Some of the parties filed a petition asking the California Judicial Council to establish a coordinated proceeding for all California propoxyphene actions pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure section 404. The defendant then removed the cases. The district court found that there was no federal jurisdiction under CAFA because plaintiffs' petition for coordination did not constitute an explicit proposal to try the cases jointly, and remanded the case back to state court. The appeals court panel agreed, rejecting defendant's argument which emphasized that plaintiffs had sought coordination to avoid "inconsistent judgments,"and "conflicting determinations of liability" -- which certainly sound like trial issues.
The decision created a split with cases like In re Abbott Labs., Inc., 698 F.3d 568 (7th Cir. 2012).
En banc oral argument is set for the week of June 16, 2014.

City of Detroit considers selling its art to pay the billson May 30, 2013 @ 10:30 am (Updated: 4:08 pm - 5/30/13 )
"The city is under an obligation to look at all of its assets," explained Mark Stryker with Detroit Free Press. Much of the collection at the Detroit Institute of Arts Museum is city owned, bought by Detroit when the city was booming in the early 20th century.
A city manager has been appointed by the governor to look at everything that could help fix the city's financial woes - and that includes the original Howdy Doody puppet, a Matisse, a Rembrandt, a Van Gogh, and a Bruegel.
"It's very low hanging fruit when you have a collection that's worth billions of dollars," Stryker told Seattle's Morning News.
While the art collection hasn't been "taken off the table," which is how Stryker knows it's still on the table - Detroit's city manager is working to balance a lot of different agendas, interests, and laws. He's trying to figure out a way out of a financial morass, including Chapter 9 municipal bankruptcy.
Works that have been donated by private donors likely wouldn't be at risk. Stryker estimates that many of those likely came with conditions that they couldn't be sold. And even though the museum boasts a strong puppet collection (including Howdy Doody) its "priceless worth" may not translate to dollar signs.
As it turns out, the aforementioned Bruegel, "The Wedding Dance," has an estimated value of $100 million.
"What we've got here is this really fascinating and tragic sort of combination of a high stakes poker game and on the one hand, it's being played out in terms of finances, but on the other hand, it's really this extraordinary morality play," said Stryker. "[It's] about the cultural soul of this city and what happens when you begin to sell some of these iconic works that are so identified with a city's art museum."

CPS threatens to discipline teachers who won't give students ISAT
BY BECKY SCHLIKERMAN Staff Reporter February 27, 2014 2:28PM
Barbara Byrd-Bennett, chief executive officer for Chicago Public Schools, speaks during Wednesday's Chicago Board of Education meeting. | Chandler West/For Sun-Times Media
Updated: April 1, 2014 10:15AM
Chicago Public Schools chief Barbara Byrd-Bennett has threatened to discipline any teacher who refuses to administer an annual state achievement test next week, according to a letter obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times.
The letter, sent out Thursday to principals, claims teachers could face the harshest repercussion from boycotting the test — losing their state education certification.
On test day, teachers will be ordered to leave the school building if they refuse to administer the Illinois Standards Achievement Test, according to the letter.
"The Chicago Board of Education will discipline any employee who encourages a student not to take the ISAT or who advocates against the ISAT on work time for insubordination and for any disruption of the educational process," Byrd-Bennett said in the letter.
The order from the CPS boss comes as teachers at Maria Saucedo Elementary Scholastic Academy unanimously decided to boycott the ISAT — a move that may be the first of its kind in the state.
"Barbara Byrd-Bennett and CPS are afraid of us speaking up — of us voicing our opinion on how these tests are unjust," said Sarah Chambers, a special education teacher at Saucedo. "We already discussed the potential repercussions and we know that what we are doing is right."
Chicago Teachers Union Vice President Jesse Sharkey called CPS' threats "really absurd and harmful" and noted the specific disciplinary measures ordered by Byrd-Bennett are typically used for the most serious infractions.
He said the threat to state certification, which is at the heart of a teachers' ability to work, is not being taken lightly.
"We're not taking that as an idle threat," Sharkey said. "Our lawyers are currently working on that."
Earlier this week, about 40 teachers at Saucedo agreed they would all refuse to administer the test, which they claim is not used for any gainful purpose within the district.
A different test has replaced the ISAT for school promotion in grades three, six and eight. The other test, the NWEA MAP, also replaces the ISAT for enrollment in selective enrollment schools. The ISAT will be replaced next year by another set of new tests.
Chambers said Thursday that more than 500 students at Saucedo have submitted letters to opt out of the test — that's about 65 percent of all students required to take the test at that school.
In Thursday's letter to principals, Byrd-Bennett said the test is not meaningless.
She said the test, which is aligned to Common Core Standards, provides educators "an important first look at how well their students are doing on these more rigorous expectations."
Byrd-Bennett also told principals that schools with low participation rates on the ISAT may lose federal funding, among other concerns.
And the testing will go on, she said.
If a teacher refuses to give the test, a principal should find another employee to administer it, Byrd-Bennett said.
