Paris - Castres clinched their first French title in 20 years when they upset Toulon 19-14 in the Top 14 final at the Stade de France on Saturday.
Toulon, who were aiming for a Heineken Cup-Top 14 double, lacked creativity, and Jonny Wilkinson's nine points were not enough as South African scrumhalf Rory Kockott scored a try and kicked eight points and Remi Tales added two late drop goals for Castres.
Delon Armitage scored a consolation try for Toulon.
"I can't find the words. It was David against Goliath today," Kockott told France 2 television, praising Castres' team spirit.
"We are a team in which there is no star, noboby is better than the others," he added.
Wilkinson and Kockott traded penalties early on in an uninspiring first half.
The only spark came when Kockott caught Toulon's defence off guard as he scooted between the posts before converting the try himself to give Castres a seven-point lead on the stroke of halftime.
Wilkinson kept Toulon in the match with two more penalties but would have been ruing his misfortune after watching two of his attempts hit the posts.
Tales's 72nd-minute drop goal pushed Castres four points clear and there was more breathing space when he repeated the dose under pressure just minutes later.
Kockott put the result beyond doubt with a 40-metre penalty with time almost up.
"It's hard to take in, we did not play the way we wanted," England's 2003 World Cup winner Wilkinson said of Toulon's performance.
"We need to keep the same spirit next year and learn from the lessons from today. We were not good enough to win."

In our Network@Noon at the Western Office of PWC-GM Chamber discussion this week the topic was "RSS". For those who don't know, RSS or "Really Simple Syndication" is an easy way for anyone to syndicate their online content. Just like syndicating a radio show, syndicating a blog or other online content means that many others can subscribe to the content. So it really is just a method for distributing, receiving and managing online content.
Visit Subscribe! Part 2 for a step-by-step guide to subscribing.
Here's how RSS works, well close enough
When a web page is designed there is code that allows the page to be syndicated so that others can subscribe to the page or site. As a subscriber they can now receive updates in a number of ways – email, browser, social media and through special "reader" apps. There is nothing else required really, any time the site is updated it automatically "feeds" to you so you can read it, and then comment. There is of course a few technical details I'm leaving out, but you probably don't really care about them.
Here's why RSS is important
Let's say I'm interested in 5 different news sites and 10 blogs for my industry. The news sites post daily and the blogs post new content twice a week on average. Without a subscription service I would have to go to all 15 sites independently to see the latest posts, and most of the blog visits will be a waste of time because they only post twice a week. Now, let's say I subscribe to all 15 sites and have them feed new content to my web browser. Each time there is an update to one of these sites it will show up in the "RSS Feeds" area of my browser. Instead of going to 15 sites, most of which have no updates, I can now see and read all the updates in one place without actually visiting the independent sites. More importantly, you're audience can subscribe and be notified every time you update!
But, how are you using it in business?
A great question raised by Jim Aram of Advantage Physical Therapy.
Every expert in social media will tell you that it is important to interact with your online network. One critical part of this is to comment on the blogs of those people in your network. Using a subscription service let's you track a large number of blogs and easily monitor topics that you want to comment on. In fact, even if you just have a web site and haven't done anything else with social media, commenting on blogs is an easy entry point. Pick a few blogs in your industry, among your friends, vendors that you use, and even your personal interests. Subscribe to these blogs and then set aside a little time each week to monitor and comment. The "bloggers" will be encouraged and you will start to build trust and credibility with your online network, before you even get into your own blogging, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn efforts.
In Subscribe! Part 2….
We'll walk through how to actually subscribe to a blog and the options available for managing your feeds.

Laptop Requirement
Because of this major emphasis on access to network information, the Levin College of Law requires that all entering J.D. students own a laptop computer that is in good working order with the latest software and anti-virus updates.
A laptop in good working order is essential as computers are used at the law school and at residences in a variety of ways, such as the following:
- E-mail messages are sent to students, some "LISTSERVs" are maintained for student/faculty interaction and distribution of course materials, some students use laptops for note-taking, and a variety of writing requirements are produced on computer.
- LEXIS and WESTLAW can be accessed on computers at the law school or from home with software distributed free to law students beginning with the Law School Orientation class during their first semester.
- Academic advising and registration through the University of Florida's ISIS program are available through law school and UF computers or by remote access.
Most classrooms are wired with AC power outlets to the seats, allowing students to use notebook computers for note-taking without reliance on battery power.
Some faculty members make use of computer-generated visual presentations such as PowerPoint in class. In many cases, these presentations are also available on the professor's TWEN, Lexis Nexis, Sakai, or personal website for downloading by students.
Students may use laptops in the classroom for note taking and for class purposes as directed by the professor. Other uses are not permitted, including, but not limited to, email, chat rooms, instant messaging, ecommerce, game playing, etc.
Finally, laptops may also be used during the examination period to type exams through ExamSoft, TWEN, and/or LexisNexis. Thus, a laptop that a student can use which is in good condition and that a student can use during the entire examination period, is essential. If a student's laptop crashes during an exam, he/she will be expected to continue the exam by handwriting and Technology Services would need to attempt to recover the information that was on the laptop prior to its failure.
The college maintains a limited number of computers providing free access to e-mail, the Internet, word processing, and other applications on the law school network. A GatorLink account, available after registration, is necessary to use any computer on campus, including wireless access from a personal computer. The GatorLink account will be your official University of Florida (UFL) e-mail address to which important administrative information will be sent to you.
The computer must meet the recommended laptop specifications.
Because of rapidly changing technologies and prices, the college does not recommend specific hardware manufacturers or software. However, Corel WordPerfect and Microsoft Office are standard and available on all public workstations. A letter-quality printer (ink-jet or laser) is highly recommended. For more information about printing at the law school visit Printing Services.
The law school's student financial aid office budgets include funds to be used toward the cost of a portable computer. In providing access to funding for computer equipment, the Levin College of Law is not responsible for the maintenance, upgrade, or loss of equipment.
Most netbooks also have a modified keyboard to allow them to be so small; these modified keyboards can have an adverse effect on typing in general. The smaller screen resolutions on these machines make navigating online content difficult. We advise that netbooks should not be considered as main computing hardware for students.

The Levin College of Law does not endorse any specific vendor but will post information regarding companies meeting its technical specifications at discount prices. Since the law school does not provide support for student computers, we recommend that students carefully investigate vendor support.
The law school uses the following software applications:
- Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook)
- Corel WordPerfect
- Adobe Reader (available free of charge to anyone | download)
- Microsoft Security Essentials
- Lexis-Nexis
- Westlaw
- ExamSoft (Exam taking software, currently optional by professor, optional by student)
Microsoft Office Suite
Microsoft Office 2010 is available for free to students via download or for $15 at the bookstore.

La Nuit de l'Homme Le Parfum by Yves Saint Laurent is the new fragrance for men characterized by a dark and languid charm. The first reaction that I raised was that of a young voyeur, rich and beautiful but also very lonely; a gentle and sleepy being who hides the quickness of a panther. A beautiful figure to worship behind a stained coloured glass window, something small and sweet just like its black lacquered bottle. A male object, perfect and durable. The notes of Lavender and Labdanum give the scent a sensual nocturnal melody, intoxicated by the final notes of Vetiver. A shameless essence emphasizes a feline masculinity; as a whole is as much a temperament as a fragrance, it will certainly stay in the collective memory.

Web Spreadsheet, Correlated Novelty, A/B Ethics, and Replicated Data Structures
- EtherCalc — open source web-based spreadsheet.
- Dynamics of Correlated Novelties (Nature) — paper on "the adjacent possible". Here we propose a simple mathematical model that mimics the process of exploring a physical, biological, or conceptual space that enlarges whenever a novelty occurs. The model, a generalization of Polya's urn, predicts statistical laws for the rate at which novelties happen (Heaps' law) and for the probability distribution on the space explored (Zipf's law), as well as signatures of the process by which one novelty sets the stage for another. (via Steven Strogatz)
- On The Media Interview with OKCupid CEO — relevant to the debate on ethics of A/B tests. I preferred this to Tim Carmody's rant.
- CRDTs as Alternative to APIs — when using CRDTs to tie your system together, you don't need to resort to using impoverished representations that simply never come anywhere near the representational power of the data structures you use in your programs at runtime. See also this paper on Convergent and Commutative Replicated Data Types.

Software Ethics, Learning Challenges, Workplace Harassment, and Logging for Postmortems
- Misjudgements Will Drive Social Trials Underground (Nature) — 34 ethicists write to explain why they see Facebook's mood-influence trials as not an egregious breach of either ethics or law. Notable: No one knows whether exposure to a stream of baby announcements, job promotions and humble brags makes Facebook's one billion users sadder or happier. The exposure is a social experiment in which users become guinea pigs, but the effects will not be known unless they are studied.[…] But the extreme response to this study, some of which seems to have been made without full understanding of what it entailed or what legal and ethical standards require, could result in such research being done in secret or not at all. Compare wisdom of the ethicists to wisdom of the crowd. (via Kate Crawford)
- Problem-Free Activity in the Mathematics Classroom (PDF) — interesting not just for the bland crap work we make kids do, but for the summary of five types of need that stimulate learning: for certainty ("which of the two is right?"), for causality ("did X cause Y?", "what will happen next?"), for computation ("how much will it cost?", "how long will it take?"), for communication and persuasion ("it's more fun when we work on this together", "let me show you why I'm right!"), and for connection and structuring ("that can't be right, it goes against all I know!", "ah, that makes sense because …"). (via Kathy Sierra)
- Survey of Academic Field Experiences (PLoSone) — Our survey revealed that conducting research in the field exposes scientists to a number of negative experiences as targets and as bystanders. The experiences described by our respondents ranged from inadvertent alienating behavior, to unwanted verbal and physical sexual advances, to, most troublingly, sexual assault including rape. is immediately followed by These proportions of respondents experiencing harassment are generally consistent with other studies of workplace harassment in other professional settings. This will change when men's behaviour and expectations change. Male readers, do your part: don't harass and don't tolerate it. This message brought to you from future generations who will wonder how the hell we turned a blind eye to it.

Deleted Transparency, Retro Theme, MPA Suckage, and Ultrasonic Comms
- The Flipside of the Right To Be Forgotten (Business Insider) — deletion requests were granted for a former politician who wanted to remove links to a news article about his behavior when previously in office – so that he can have a clean slate when running for a new position – and a man who was convicted of possessing child sexual abuse imagery.
- BOOTSTRA.386 — gorgeously retro theme for Bootstrap.
- Multi-Process Architectures Suck — detailed and painful look at the computational complexity and costs of multiprocess architectures.
- Chromecast Ultrasonic Comms — In the new system, Chromecast owners first allow support for nearby devices. A nearby device then requests access to the Chromecast, and the Chromecast plays an ultrasonic sound through the connected TV's speakers. The sound is then picked up by the microphone in the device, which allows it to pair with the TV. (via Greg Linden)

Facebook Research, Mountain Game, Dollar Vans, and Eigenmorality
- Experimental Evidence of Massive-scale Emotional Contagion Through Social Networks — I suspect many more people have expressed an opinion on the research than have read the research.

- NYC's Dollar Vans (New Yorker) — New York's unofficial shuttles, called "dollar vans" in some neighborhoods, make up a thriving transportation system that operates where the subway and buses don't. A somewhat invisible economy. (via Seb Chan)
- Eigenmorality — caution: linear algebra and morality, two subjects that many programmers struggle with. (via Pete Warden)

Ethical UX, Personal Robots, Sharter URLs, and Magical Devices
- Ethics and UX Design (Slideshare) —We are the thieves of time. This excellent talk challenges you (via Aristotle) to understand what a good life is, and whether you're designing to bring it about. (via Keith Bolland)
- Pepper Personal Robot — Japan's lead in consumer-facing robotics is impressive. If this had been developed by an American company, it'd either have a Lua scripting interface or twin machine guns for autonomous death.
- shrturl — spoof, edit, rewrite, and general evil up webpages, hidden behind an URL shortening service.
- Lessons for Building Magical Devices (First Round Review) — The most interesting devices I've seen take elements of the physical world and expose them to software.[…] If you buy a Tesla Model S today, the behavior of the car six months from now could be radically different because software can reshape the capability of the hardware continuously, exceeding the speed of customer demand.

At the disk's inner edge, near the black hole, strong magnetic fields eject some of the gas into dual, oppositely directed jets that blast outward at about half the speed of light...

His bike has been all over the Show Me State.
"It took two days to go to KC, and four days to go across the state," said Jene Baldwin, Shopping Cart Bike Creator.
Jene and his friends make one cart a month and they're already booked through December.

text: So, we got rid of cable a few months ago and are chewing our way through Netflix and HuluPlus as a result.
