Amazing Graze – street food, music, art and a little bazaar
Amazing Graze is Leeds' first ever festival celebrating all that's good about life on the street, organised by Left Bank and...
This is a press release from land securities about the rather exciting 'Trinity Kitchen'
Land Securities, the UK's largest commercial property company, has revealed a multi-million pound investment and unique new approach to food and leisure which it will launch into the heart of Trinity Leeds, the only major retail and leisure development set to open in 2013.
The concept 'Trinity Kitchen' will set a new benchmark for mall dining with an inventive new take on eating, drinking and leisure that will showcase local and national cuisines alongside major international high street food and drink brands.
Trinity Kitchen will bring cooking demonstrations, street food vendors and pop-up market stalls into a shopping centre environment for the first time. Taking its cue from culinary trends emerging in major international food capitals, such as London, Paris and New York, the concept will offer an exciting theatre of food experiences; bringing a range of new, cutting edge food and drink brands to the North of England.
Land Securities confirmed today that Trinity Kitchen is now 100 per cent let.
As a first for the UK, Trinity Kitchen will also host a diverse mix of brands in a 'Street Food market' which will bring the emerging British Street Food movement into the heart of the development. Retaining the authenticity by only selecting the very best Street Food vans from across the UK, Trinity Kitchen will host five pop-up food traders who will change on a regular basis, providing shoppers with constantly new and diverse food choices.
The street market will be carefully curated by Richard Johnson, the renowned UK food journalist and broadcaster and the brains behind the emerging British Street Food movement and acclaimed British Street Food Awards. The street market will also host visiting local and international chefs as part of a rolling events programme.
The Land Securities team behind Trinity Kitchen sought out seven carefully selected global brands, each placed in a different 'pod' style setting which allows them to bring their individual character to life and provides a sense of theatre for shoppers. Trinity Kitchen will increase the presence of food and beverage at Trinity Leeds by 50%, reflecting a significant shift in the focus of future retail developments towards the creation of leisure and lifestyle, to complement the retail offer.
Andrew Dudley, Trinity Leeds Development Director at Land Securities, said:
"With Trinity Kitchen we aim to lead the charge for next generation retail destinations, by bringing our scheme in line with the rapidly changing lifestyle habits and demands of UK and global consumers, creating an entirely new and highly innovative F&B model yet to be replicated by any other retail scheme.
"Consumers now demand considerably more from a retail destination than simply a place to refuel and continue shopping. Consumers want an inspiring experience embedded into the fabric of their surroundings, rather than the predictable and mundane.
"Consumers are shopping 'out' less often; but when they do, they want to make an event of it. Retail and leisure spaces become cultural and lifestyle destinations in their own right – and we have designed Trinity Leeds around this central premise."
Andrew Turf, Leasing Manager for Trinity Kitchen, said:
"Trinity Kitchen will bring consumers a constantly evolving, eclectic and stimulating social hub – day and night – that will reinvent city living."
The space is set to showcase Trinity Leeds against a changing retail landscape. Trinity Kitchen seeks to mirror a rapidly emerging movement within the home itself – away from separate kitchen, living and dining areas towards the creation of a single, holistic space - a social and flexible environment for living - and is billed as the next step forward in the UK's approach to eating and shopping, responding to a consumer-driven demand for affordability, fun and variety at the centre of the modern retail, leisure and dining experience.
Recent international partners to sign up to Trinity Kitchen include Notes, Pho, Tortilla and Chicago Rib Shack all of which are coming out of London and the South East for the first time. Circle Club Champagne bar is also joining the exclusive line up.
Christian Arden, of Chicago Rib Shack says: "Trinity Kitchen is an innovative new concept which we are thrilled to be a part of. It will provide Leeds consumers with a stunning new dining experience, and brings our brand to the North for the first time."
Brandon Stephens, founder of Tortilla, commented: "Mexican inspired cuisine has taken off in London over the last few years and we're excited about bringing quality tacos and burritos to Leeds for the first time. Trinity Kitchen demonstrates how forward thinking developers are bringing the best of F&B into an experiential led retail space, and we feel this is a perfect fit for our exciting brand."
Trinity Leeds is a 1 million sq ft retail and leisure destination in the heart of Leeds opening on 21st March 2013. It is the only retail scheme currently being developed in Western Europe, and will be the only major scheme to launch in 2013, creating over 3,500 jobs in the city. Trinity Kitchen will open in Autumn 2013, providing new and compelling reasons for shoppers to continue to visit Trinity Leeds when this new concept is revealed.

Jen Eramith | Akashic Transformations | April 2012
There is a very strong energy this month that can be taken and used by you to get things done. A guiding principle for this month, April 2012, is the principle of the Divine Masculine. The Divine Masculine is just like the Divine Feminine. It is part of everything; it is part of you. The Divine Masculine is an important part of yourself to reclaim and utilize this month in order to get things done, in order to work toward your goals and in order to save the world. We use that phrase on purpose, "save the world", because that is indeed what you are doing at this time on Planet Earth. The future of humanity is still in question and the way that each of you makes your decisions — the way you choose your thoughts and take action on any given day — is making a difference. You are either helping to save the world or you are helping to support its demise.
You can learn a lot more about how to honor and use the energy of the Divine Masculine,* but for now take note that April 2012 holds an energy that is ready to be focused. You will find that your intentions, whether they are purposeful or accidental, will lead to manifestation more easily than usual. When you have a thought, it is more likely to turn into reality. When you have an intention, when you wish for something to occur, it is more likely to occur in some way. That means if you are not being mindful, if you are not being intentional and purposeful with your thoughts and your actions, then you will see things take place that you really do not really wish for. The passing thoughts or whims that you do not think about very consciously will come to fruition in ways that you cannot control or do not expect. So it is important to be mindful and intentional this month. Do not say things you don't mean, and avoid letting your mind circle around things you do not intend.
The gift of this masculine energy is that if you are mindful about your intentions, if you do choose to focus and take actions that are in alignment with your highest good, you can be incredibly productive this month. This is a month when humanity has the opportunity to start solving some of your biggest problems. You as individuals have the opportunities to start solving some of your biggest issues. Taking action is very important this month. It is very important that you not get lost in your own thoughts or spin around in your own emotions. There is no time for self-pity this month. Look for an action you can take in regard to every thought you have and every emotion that arises. It is fine to allow it and explore it mentally, but look for action you can take. Even if the action you choose is to wait, make sure that you are actively choosing to wait — that you are intentionally choosing to wait rather than waiting by accident or waiting as a form of avoidance. Avoidance will be toxic to you this month. So whatever you can do, do it. Whatever you are unsure about, take some action to become more certain. Take some action to discover more about the situation at hand.
What specific actions can we take this month to be more purposeful and more productive?
In the past few years, Lightworkers, have been called to focus on your emotions and intentions. You have needed to be mindful about what you are feeling and what you are thinking. All of that remains true, it is still important to be mindful of your thoughts and your emotions. But this month, begin to define your experience more through your actions.
At the end of every day, sit down and write what happened. In a simple way, sketch out the basic plot points of your day. It might be, "I ate breakfast. I had a meeting. I picked up my kids. I did the laundry." Whatever it might be, just take a brief survey of all of your actions and make a list of the actions of the day. You do not need to write every detail nor do you need to recount every single moment, but be sure to get all of the highlights. Note anything significant or anything that comes to mind for each point. Take a survey, write down your actions and do this every single night during the month of April.
Every few days look back on the survey and begin to notice the patterns. There are certain actions you take every day that you do not really think about any more. There are certain actions that you rarely take but they are significant to you. Start to notice how much of your action is in alignment with what you value most. Start to notice how much your actions are leading you toward something whether it is something you intend or not. By noticing your actions, you can start to see patterns. When you see patterns, then you can start to make different choices — choices that will lead you to spend more time doing more of what you love, spending more time doing things that productively lead you toward where you want to be. You will see where your actions have been wasted. Where the time you have spent doing some things really is not worth that time that you gave it. So simply take a survey.
This is not about judging yourself and it is not meant to turn you into an efficiency machine. It is meant to help you see more clearly how your actions truly are creating the life that you are living and when you really grasp the truth of that, you become more powerful than ever before. When you grasp the truth of how your actions actually create your reality, then you are able to decide for yourself what reality you will establish for yourself. You will be able to decide for yourself what you spend your time doing. This will change everything for you. This makes it possible for you to decide what life you are living.

Private math tutorsLooking for private math tutors? Well, look no more. You have found me! Hi, my name is Jetser Carasco. I am a mathematics teacher with more than 4 years of experience teaching mathematics in Massachusetts. I attended the University of Massachusetts Boston where I graduated with a math major and the University of Antilles and Guyanne(Guadeloupe, France) where I also graduated with a double major in mathematics and computer science. I came from a background where mathematics is heavily emphasized and everyone is supposed to know calculus to graduate from high school. Looking back to where I came from and where I am today in life, I know what it takes to be successful. It takes hard work, but also the right teacher to motivate you and explain things the right way. Over the years, I have inspired many students with my teaching and my style. My philosophy and methods are based on simple approaches to include:
Are you struggling to understand a math concept? Is a quiz coming soon and you still don't know what you are doing? Do you have math anxiety? Are you stuck on a homework assignment? Are you a parent looking for private math tutors for your kid(s)? You need tutoring in elementary school math, middle school math, or high school math If the answer is yes to any or all of the above, here is what I can do for you: Solve your math problem(s) and provide you with a thorough explanation by incorporating all theory and concepts behind them My goal is for you to fire me quick as a math tutor because the explanation will be so clear you will be able to do the problem(s) yourself next time In fact, if you have been reading my lessons on this site, you should have already noticed how thorough I am. I will be even more thorough since you are now paying me to tutor you and you want to be satisfied Here is how it works: Step #1: First type your problem(s) using the form below. Include your grade, subject, and your deadline Note: Don't wait until the last minute to submit your problem(s) Step #2: I will give you a quote. It will be sent to the email you provided. Note: What you pay depends on a variety of factors to include numbers of exercises, length of solution for each exercise, and the complexity of the problems Step #3: The process is simple. Once you get a quote from me, I will send you also an email using the email address you provided through Paypal. Paypal will then send you an email requesting payment Step #4: Once I get payment confirmation from Paypal, I will send you step by step written solutions to the email address you provided There is no need to worry. If I decide to tutor you, I will provide you with good service. In case you need extra peace of mind, just keep in mind that you can file a dispute with Paypal if you are not 100% satisfied. Note: It is imperative that you remember to type in yor email address to receive the work Especial note: Due to the fact that I am already teaching in a regular class and the many emails I get on this matter, I may not be able to tutor everyone and/or make a reply to all your request(s) .I am only human! To increase your chance of success, Submit your problem(s) as soon as possible and provide me with enough time to solve your problem(s) Send me at the most 3 problems Describe your problem(s) entirely and clearly Do not omit anything! Other private math tutors As stated before, I may not be able to assist everyone. If you are really pressured by time and want an answer quickly, you could use services provided my Justanswer.

The player controls a small red car and must jump between platforms to color them in as it drives over them. Oil cans can be collected and shot at the police, taxis, ambulances etc. that roam the levels. Flag waving cats must also be avoided.
The main character is a 15 year old girl named Clarice (Kurarisu) who drives around the world in her love car (Clarice's carKurarisuka) looking for the ideal man. This explains the hearts after losing a life and the girl that appears every time you beat a level. Clarice's name appears at the bottom of the High score rankings. The main sprite resembles a Honda City hatchback, which may explain the game's title. (arcade-history)

Saudi Arabia has another case of new coronavirus: WHO
- Tweet
- Share this
LONDON (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia has reported another case of infection in a concentrated outbreak of a new strain of a virus that emerged in the Middle East last year and spread into Europe, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Saturday.
In a disease outbreak update issued from its Geneva headquarters, the WHO said the latest patient is an 81-year-old woman with multiple medical conditions. She became ill on April 28 and is in a critical but stable condition.
Worldwide, there have now been 41 laboratory-confirmed infections, including 20 deaths, since the new coronavirus was identified by scientists in September 2012.
The novel coronavirus, which had been known as by the acronym nCoV but which some scientific journals now refer to as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus, or MERS, belongs to the same family as viruses that cause common colds and the one that caused a deadly outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in 2003.
MERS cases have so far been reported in Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Qatar, Britain, Germany and France, but Saudi Arabia has had the vast majority of cases.
The WHO said that latest patient was in the same clinic in eastern Saudi Arabia that has seen 22 cases, nine of them fatal, since April 8.
WHO experts visiting Saudi Arabia to consult with the authorities on the outbreak have said it seemed likely the new virus could be passed between humans, but only after prolonged, close contact.

It has been a month since my last post about saying goodbye to cable. We haven't missed cable at all. It's the opposite. With PlayOn services, we get to watch different shows whenever we wanted. It's like a giant DVR for us. Hulu on PlayOn gives us another access to movies besides NetFlix and Amazon... The best part is that we don't have to pay $80/month for cable!!!
The next step is to move our land line service to Internet-based phone service. I wish we could move away from land line altogether but the quality for land line is so much better than our cell phone quality. We decided to cut our cable service right after New Year 2013.
We don't watch much TV. Our TV shows come from NetFlix. My sports fix comes from Yahoo! Sports and I can't remember when was the last time that I watched a full football game or basketball game. In the mean time, our cable bill with Time Warner for HD extended basic, HD DVR, and DVR rental ballooned to almost $80/month. Time Warner threatened to raise the cable rate again. $80 per month for less than an hour of cable TV a day. That doesn't seem like a very smart move. So what did we do to substitute cable TV?
It has been a month now and we haven't missed our cable. Matter of fact, it seems that we have more quality options to choose from. We paid $30 for the antenna and $60 for PlayOn and PlayLater subscription. That's $90 investment - one-month payback... For our family, this is the right choice. For the sports nuts, I am afraid that you are "tethered" with cable or dish... It has been awhile since I last looked at the Home Energy Monitoring (HEM) industry. Ever since Google and Microsoft shutdown their HEM projects, I was afraid the market might not be able to sustain itself. Now looking back, I think that the industry was in its infancy and Google and Microsoft might not have the stomach for this nascent market.
As of this writing, it seems that the market continues to march forward. In the early days, there were talks about HEM integration with Smart Grid. With Smart Grid projects continue to be subsidized by the governments (US, Europe, and others), HEM is shaping its own identity. HEM ranges from simple monitoring to a sophisticated system. Firs off, there are the "energy vampires" killer products that shut off standby power of unused devices. Kill-A-Watt offers a wide range of products. Belkin has its own line of offerings. A quick search on Google yielded quite a few options. These products are simple and easy-to-use. Homeowners could easily obtain these products through Amazon.com, Home Depots, and similar retail outlets. Next, HEM gets a little more involved in term of installation. The batch of products monitor the entire home energy usage. TED (The Energy Detective) offers several options that home owners (or rather a certified electrician) install into their circuit breakers. I had a TED connected to my circuit breaker in my previous home. CES (Computerized Electricity System) in Israel has a replacement circuit breaker panel that an electrician needs to install. Once installed, home owners will have the ability to see the circuit-level energy usage. Finally for the energy geeks, there are sophisticated systems with sensors (that could talk to each other) and a gateway (a main unit that gathering and making sense of the data from the sensor plus communicating to the home owners via Internet). Current Cost is an example of a sophisticated system. Home owners could acquire sensors as needed and a gateway with a display for at-a-glance energy read outs. Greenwave Reality is another company in this space. Greenwave founders all came from Cisco so they should know a thing or two about networking. Of course, sophisticate equal dollars so again, energy geeks are the early adopters. By no means, this is a complete list. I just wanted to do a quick glance to see whether or not HEM is still alive. It seems to me that the market still has a pulse and a potentially bright future. I was asked to write an article about MicroTCA from an ex-insider perspective. You can read it here. The bottom line is that it was a good technology for niche markets. As much I love the technology, it's hard for me to see how it could be mass-adopted for the embedded industry.
Home energy monitoring was all the buzz. Google and Microsoft jumped on the bandwagon. Both companies signed up a bunch of device companies to build out this HEM market. The idea of understanding my energy usage is cool so I set out to buy one of these devices. I picked TED since it seems that they got the most traction out there.
Well... TED recommended that I need an electrician to install the device on my circuit breaker. Once that was done, I had to figure out how to get the data to my laptop via Power Line Communication (PLC). As it turned out, it was harder than I thought since my router sat in the office - too noisy for the device to work. 50' of cabling later and almost 2 weeks later, I was able to see my energy usage in R/T. It was fun until I realized that I still didn't know which appliances were energy hogs... The TED connected to Google service so that I could monitor it at work. Again, I still don't know which appliances were on at a certain time. Anyway, this HEM thing is for techno-geek. My wife wouldn't be able to use it. I think we need a lot more improvement for mass adoption. This could be something that UlluTek would investigate in the future. We got invited to participate in the new WI Innovation 25. Here's the official notice from WI Entrepreneurs Network:
You are joined by other technology-based companies (startup and existing) ranging from defense, advanced manufacturing, environmental, energy, and life sciences. The goal of Innovation 25 is to help you win federal funding for your innovative ideas, concepts, or projects using the federal $2.5 billion Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Programs; a vital source of non-dilutive capital. In September, the Wisconsin Entrepreneurs' Network (WEN) was awarded a grant from the Small business Administration (SBA), Federal and State Technology Partnership (FAST) Program in partnership with the Wisconsin Department of Commerce, the University of Wisconsin System, and the University of Wisconsin ‐ Extension, Division of Entrepreneurship and Economic Development, to create and launch the Innovation 25 Pilot Program. WEN is extremely grateful for the financial and in kind support for the Innovation 25 Pilot Program. UlluTek applied for WI Innovation 25 to get individualized coaching on how to apply for federal funding. This could be good for UlluTek as we are closer to get seed funding. It would be nice to get funding from the government. This way we don't have to dilute our equity until when we absolutely have to.
It's official. UlluTek is presenting at 2010 Wisconsin Early Stage Symposium. There are 42 early-stage companies in two tracks: WAN Track for companies seeking angel investment and beyond and Elevator Pitch Olympics for companies seeking seed funding. UlluTek will be in the WAN track with 19 other companies.
We are very glad to have Pehr Anderson joining our Board of Advisors. Pehr bio could be found Harqen website. Pehr is one of the key players driving the high tech entrepreneurial scene in WI. You can't go to a startup event in WI without someone mentioning Pehr. He will be very instrumental for UlluTek as we continue our adventure... And did I mention that he's a pretty cool guy?
MicroTCA proved to be a very challenging technology for us to do an open source. The advancement in processor (Atom servers anyone?) coupling with high cost for MicroTCA-based products could spell a death for a once promising technology. When I was still in the industry, I have pointed out to MicroTCA vendors that a $4K Pentium M blade is out of the question. Several years later, the price has not come down. It's hard for me to see how the technology could survive.
Fortunately in the past few months, we have shifted our focus to something more exciting. More to come in the near future. |

Swiss-born and Paris-based, Mattia Bonetti creates highly imaginative art design that will soon be featured at the Paul Kasmin Gallery in New York. The exhibition is described as showcasing "the balance of exuberance and rigor that has become the definitive signature of Bonetti's transformative hand. In it, a gracefully draped pearl necklace becomes a table, a broken vase is reborn as a lamp, and a house of cards is reconfigured into a gleaming chest of drawers. Bonetti juxtaposes traditional bronze, gold leaf, wrought iron, and blown glass techniques with resin, acrylic, and mirrored stainless steel technologies to form expertly crafted objects that are a pleasure to use and behold."
New work by Mattia Bonetti can be seen at the Paul Kasmin Gallery in New York from February 11 through March 13, 2010.

Palliative Care
Mar 23, 2009 8:00 AM
Internist Stephen J. Bekanich, M.D., selects words with the same deliberation a surgeon might handle instruments. When he speaks of patients' wishes" and "desires," he cuts to the core, conceptually as well as emotionally, of palliative care. "Physicians are not trained to think, 'What does our patient want?' Our model is 'What disease do they have?' and 'How do we treat it?' But it's changing," said the medical director of University of Utah Hospital's Palliative Care Service.
"There's so much more to helping patients than having a curative mind-set," said Holli Martinez, M.S.N., F.N.P.-B.C., clinical nursing instructor and member of the service. "We try to preserve our bodies at all costs. Death is either seen as not an option or as a medical failure. We value life—which is good. But patients have choices."
Palliative care is about options. Patients with serious chronic or life-threatening diseases don't have to choose between curative care—chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or other treatments that carry the hope of cure—and comfort care that promises the relief of suffering, but the relinquishing of life-prolonging medical care. They can opt for treatments that will help sustain the quality of life they want through a plan drawn up in consultation with the team of specially trained physicians, nurse practitioners, social worker, and chaplain.
"The global purpose of palliative care is to provide excellent care for progressive chronic disease, to relieve symptoms, and mitigate suffering," said Kathie Supiano, L.C.S.W., referring to the 1990 definition by the World Health Organization. She has been a member of the palliative care service at University Hospital since its inception in January 2006. "You don't see the word 'death' in there. You don't see the word 'dying' in there. You don't see the word 'prognosis' in there."
Those belong to the definition of hospice—the "H word" often confused with palliative care. British physician Dame Cicely Saunders introduced the concept of specialized care for dying patients and, in 1967, founded the first hospice in London, according to The National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization. Utah's late Sen. Frank E. Moss and the late Sen. Frank Church, D-Idaho, co-sponsored the nation's first legislation in 1974 to federally fund hospice programs.Twelve years later, Medicare extended permanent coverage. Terminally ill patients with a prognosis of six months or less who forego curative treatment can qualify for pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, and nursing care, in addition to psychosocial and spiritual help, offered to their families as well.Usually hospice is provided in the home.
"Hospice is always palliative, but palliative care is not always hospice," said Ginger Marshall, M.S.N., A.C.N.P.-B.C., A.C.H.P.N., a nurse practitioner on the service who is certified in acute care and palliative care. First offered to hospitalized patients in the United States in the late 1980s, palliative care extends the concepts of hospice to patients who may benefit from them earlier in their illness. University Hospital provides palliative care to hospitalized patients on a consult basis: physicians, patients, or family members must request the service. It's provided in conjunction with—not in place of—active medical interventions.
Like hospice, palliative care focuses on the quality of a patient's life, whether measured in years or hours. "It's about how you want to live your life," said Marshall, a clinical instructor in the U College of Nursing. To help patients arrive at their own definition, the team begins a "conversation." The word belies its significance. It is not a casual exchange, but a structured, often emotionally intense, meeting that can last up to two hours. "That's one of the gifts of palliative care: we give the time," noted Supiano. She arranges the meeting with the patient, family members or advocate, in a private space away from interruptions. A clinician typically leads off: "Tell me, what do you understand about your condition?"
"It's amazing to me how, when you ask patients who have chronic illness for maybe 15 years, they'll have maybe three things right," said Martinez, who joined the palliative care team last fall after completing a master's degree at the U College of Nursing. "The biggest part of our job is education. We're teaching about the disease process, about symptoms and stages, about what to expect. And we do a lot of listening to learn where they might need more knowledge."

Alright so, just like the sound driver problem, I'm having an internet problem. I'm really just hoping that it just has something to do with temp files, but since I got my computer back after getting it formatted, my internet has been extremely slow to sites I haven't been to yet... Again, I'm guessing it's just the Temp. files and all that, but, is there anything I could do to get rid of this? It's really... annoying.
Also, I find I can't connect to online games, for example Warcraft 3, for anyone who's played, whenever I get into custom games and start downloading the map it stops, and I get disconnected. Again, I'm hoping its just the fact that my computer is newly formatted and just needs to "get used to it", again, but it's really annoying.
So, if anyone has any ideas, or tips for me to bypass all of this and get it running smoothly with slow internet and bad connections, that'd be great. Before my format it worked perfectly... So it's weird that it's not now. I'm also on a router, but again, I didn't have problems.

Ricciardo surprised by Webber's comments
Daniel Ricciardo has been left surprised by comments said by Mark Webber over the Belgian Grand Prix weekend. The Aussie let slip to Australia's Channel 10 Network that his countryman had already signed a contract with Red Bull for 2014, saying "the decision is made."
The rumour built up speed during the race weekend at Spa despite Red Bull's continuing insistence that they are still weighing up their options. Reports prior to the race even hinted that Ricciardo would be confirmed as Webber's successor during the weekend. However, like senior figures within Red Bull, Ricciardo has downplayed claims that it is a done deal.
In an interview with Russia's F1news.ru after the Belgian Grand Prix – where he finished 10th – Ricciardo reacted to Webber's comments, saying: "He really said that? We all know Mark…. he likes to make predictions, sometimes they are right, sometimes they're not.
It's nice that he supports me, so I take his words as a compliment but, I'm sure that, if I had a contract, I would know about it. I don't think we're going to have to wait long for the team [to announce something], but I still haven't heard anything."
Christian Horner, Red Bull Racing's team principal, has been keeping his cards extremely close to his chest. After hearing Webber's comments he said: "I have never known a driver sign another driver. At the end of the day, we've got plenty to take into consideration and, when the time's right, we'll let you know what [the decision] is. We've been surprised at the interest and we're not in any rush. We've got time on our side, to make the right decision."
Kimi Raikkonen is still in the running for the seat despite reports that talks between Red Bull and the Finn broke down. Lotus is even more optimistic than ever that they will retain the 'Iceman' for 2014 and Alonso isn't out of the question just yet, however the balance looks to be tipping in Ricciardo's favour.

Match Preview
McCoist focussed on Motherwell clash Ally McCoist insists Rangers have no time to dwell on their Europa League defeat to Maribor as they bid to bounce back with a win over Motherwell. The Scottish champions travel to Fir Park for Sunday's Clydesdale Bank Premier League clash still reeling from the loss in Slovenia, which leaves their hopes of progressing to the group stages in the balance. But McCoist believes a mouth-watering meeting with a Motherwell side who sit top of the table is the ideal tonic for his players. He said: "It's the easiest thing in the world because we are playing the team at the top of the league, against a team who haven't lost a goal this season. "They have kept four clean-sheets, which is a fantastic record. It's a good game for us, it's a really, really good game. "There is no time to look back and feel the disappointment - that's gone now and we are looking forward to the next game. "It's a top of the table clash and it's against a team who are playing full of confidence and who are playing really well." McCoist came out on top over his former Rangers team-mate Terry Butcher at Inverness last week and is hoping for similar luck against another old Ibrox colleague, Stuart McCall. He said: "Stuart has done really well but it's no surprise. He is just a good lad and he has made a very clever and astute signing in Kenny Black. "I know Kenny very well also and they have a good management team there and, indeed, a good team on the park. "Stuart has been a good friend for a long time and he will continue to be a good friend. I just hope I get the same result over a good friend this weekend as I did last weekend." Rangers were not the only Scottish team to suffer disappointment on the European stage, with Celtic held to a goalless draw at home against Swiss side Sion and Hearts crashing to a 5-0 defeat against Tottenham. McCoist said: "It doesn't look good when none of our teams managed to get a result. "Celtic had a goalless draw and I would imagine Neil Lennon would still fancy Celtic to go through. From our point of view, as disappointing as the result was, I firmly believe that we will get through. "My immediate problem is making sure we qualify for this tournament, that's my target after what will be a difficult game at Motherwell. "Without being over-confident, which I would never be, I saw enough, even through the disappointment, to think that we have a more than reasonable chance of qualifying. "Whether it's at international level or club level, everybody has a duty to do their best to get the co-efficient of the country up. "I would have to say, we have done our best in recent years and I don't think anybody could argue with that. Hopefully we will do so again by qualifying." McCoist is hoping Matt McKay, Carlos Bocanegra and Alejandro Bedoya will all be available Australian McKay is waiting for a work permit, while American duo Bocanegra - who made his debut against Maribor - and Bedoya are both seeking visas ahead of Sunday's game. Steven Whittaker is set to return for the clash at Fir Park after being out with a broken toe but Maurice Edu is suspended and Sasa Papac (illness), David Weir (hamstring) and Kyle Bartley (groin) are likely to remain on the sidelines. Motherwell manager McCall is determined to put right their record against Rangers as the Lanarkshire side seek their first win against the champions since Boxing Day 2002. McCall has led Motherwell to the Scottish Cup final and now to the top of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League since taking over at the turn of the year. But his SPL record against his former club has been bitterly disappointing, having suffered a 6-0 loss at Ibrox and a 5-0 home defeat. Motherwell did play well against Rangers in the League Cup semi-final in January before going down 2-1, so McCall knows his team are capable of testing Rangers. And, having not conceded a goal in four SPL games, Motherwell have a right to be quietly confident. McCall said: "Looking at the three games, there was the CIS semi-final when we were more than a match. It could and should have gone to extra-time, it was a very even game. "We went to Ibrox with a depleted defence and I take responsibility because I tried to play a back three at the last minute without really working on it, because of all the injuries we had. "We got a doing there and weren't at it, having said that they scored three goals in the last 12 minutes, which put a bad slant on the scoreline. "Then here we were equal and (Allan) McGregor's had two fantastic saves. We go in 1-0 down but then their three top men - Naismith, Jelavic and Davis - played at their peak. "If the Old Firm's top players are on their game, it's a difficult afternoon, but you've got to stick at it and keep battling. "Although it sounds daft, I think for one-and-a-half of the three games, we matched them. So we've got to make sure on Sunday it's a game where we match them and hopefully pull off a result that we've not done for many a moon." Motherwell midfielder Keith Lasley returns to the squad after suspension, so Steven Saunders (Achilles) is the only absentee for McCall.

Match Report
Rangers sweep aside Motherwell Injury-ravaged Rangers bounced back from their Europa League loss to Maribor by beating Motherwell 2-0 to inflict a first Clydesdale Bank Premier League defeat of the season on the hosts. Steven Naismith opened the scoring at Fir Park, before Kyle Lafferty doubled the advantage and Gregg Wylde wrapped up the victory late on. The win will no doubt act as a much-needed confidence-booster ahead of Thursday's second leg against the Slovenians at Ibrox as Rangers attempt to overturn a 2-1 deficit. Rangers handed first SPL starts to youngsters Jordan McMillan and Ross Perry. Wylde and Lafferty were also drafted into the side, with Maurice Edu suspended, Lee McCulloch suffering a recurrence of a knee problem and Kirk Broadfoot also absent from the squad. Carlos Bocanegra - who made his Rangers debut against Maribor in Slovenia - was unavailable for selection as he and fellow American Alejandro Bedoya failed to obtain visas in time for today's game. Rangers had hoped Steven Whittaker would recover from a broken toe but he remained on the sidelines along with skipper David Weir, Kyle Bartley and Sasa Papac. Motherwell headed into the game in better shape, with Keith Lasley returning from suspension to replace Ross Forbes the only change from their win over St Mirren. Rangers were under pressure in the opening minute when Tom Hateley whipped a corner into the box for Jamie Murphy in front of goal but Allan McGregor managed to block before he could connect cleanly. At the other end, a Steven Davis free-kick was met by Nikica Jelavic but the striker nodded just over from 10 yards out, before directing another header wide of target moments later from a Wylde corner. In an action packed opening to the game, McGregor was called into action to prevent a stinging effort from Murphy finding the back of the net, before Randolph was forced to react quickly and block from Lafferty. The breakthrough came after 19 minutes when Davis sent a corner into the packed goalmouth and Jelavic was first to react with a bullet header that was helped into the back of the net by Naismith with the final touch. Motherwell - who had not conceded a goal this season ahead of the visit of Rangers - tried to haul themselves back into the game. Murphy had the ball in the back of the net after 37 minutes but the effort was disallowed after the Well player was deemed to have handled the ball before unleashing the shot. Rangers were celebrating again on the stroke of half-time when Lafferty raced on to a pass from Juan Manuel Ortiz before sending an angled drive past Randolph. Lafferty could have added to his tally after the restart when he again combined well with Ortiz only to see his effort collected by Randolph on this occasion. The Spaniard also played the part of provider for Naismith but he was wasteful with the shot that was high and wide and did little to trouble the Motherwell goalkeeper. There was a close call for Rangers when Chris Humphrey's effort skimmed the crossbar, before Davis saw his own shot crash off the woodwork at the other end of the pitch. Rangers were threatening again when Jelavic found Ortiz at the back post and he nodded back across goal for Naismith, who saw his own header dip just over the crossbar. Lafferty, who had made his first start after recovering from a hernia operation, was replaced by John Fleck for the final 15 minutes. Rangers wrapped up the victory with six minutes remaining when Davis slotted into the path of Wylde and he rifled past Randolph to ensure no way back for the home side.

Concierge.com's insider take:
Tucked into a seaside cave and with an outdoor deck just 35 feet from shore, this might well be the world's best whale-watching restaurant. (Be sure to visit from May to December, when pods of southern right whales pass through Walker Bay.) The prix fixe and à la carte menus are tailored to every appetite. Don't miss the seafood specialties, like the traditional South African dish of grilled Cape snoek (fish) in a caramelized apricot sauce, or the rich house bouillabaisse. The homemade Malva pudding is a must for dessert. Reservations are essential.

Business Card Smarts
Get expert tips on design, wording and presentation so you can network like a pro
By Ayn-Monique Klahre
Special Offer
In a high-tech world of emailing and tweeting, there's still nothing like a good old business card to get your information into a potential employer's or contact's hands. "A card comes in handy at all sorts of events—like when you're introduced to a new group of friends or meet someone at a restaurant," says Kathryn Lowell, founder of Image Matters, a consulting group in Arkansas. "It allows you to continue the conversation." To find out how to design your own card like the one shown here, turn the page.
What to Choose
If you're in a creative field (a caterer, an art teacher, a gardener), select a card with a graphic design that shows off your personality; your contact information can go on the back of the card if necessary. Otherwise, opt for light-colored sturdy paper stock and easy-to-read sans serif fonts like Verdana, Tahoma or Arial in navy blue or black.
What to Include On It
● A maximum of two industry-relevant degrees (such as RD or RN ) after your name. Don't include a job title unless you have a specific skill that narrows your profession (like chef or accountant).
● A link to an online portfolio or profile, like on LinkedIn.com, if you wish. Just be sure the profile is professional and free of typos.
● Your mobile number, if there's a chance your children will answer your home phone. Make sure your voicemail message is work-appropriate.
● Your email address. It should include your name but no cutesy adjectives (chances are, firstname.lastname@example.com won't get the nod for a job).
How to Present It
Pull cards from a tasteful cardholder and hand them only to those individuals you plan to follow up with within a week, since people have short attention spans. When you do reach out, refer to your conversation in some way; try recommending a restaurant or sending a link to an interesting article.
