After F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone canceled a visit to Melbourne--the opening round of the 2011 F1 championship following Bahrain's cancellation--to visit New York mayor Michael Bloomberg, the paddock's rumormill went into high gear that Staten Island could be a site for an upcoming Grand Prix. Staten Island, however, says it hasn't heard anything about such a plan.
"We've heard nothing about the proposal," a spokesman for Staten Island councilman Vincent Ignizio told the Austin American-Statesman.
Even if an F1 race were to come to Staten Island, insiders worry that the four access points, choked by small bridges, wouldn't allow enough traffic flow to support the event. Beyond that, the people of the borough would likely oppose the race, just as they opposed a plan to build a NASCAR track back in 2004.
Despite the rumors in Staten Island, Austin, Texas, is still the best bet for a U.S. F1 race, with the track there already underway, and due for completion by the end of 2012 season. If it's done in time, it could just slip onto the 2012 F1 calendar.

The Universal Language of Massage
By Cary Bayer
Vacationing recently at the Caribbean resort of La Samanna in the French part of the beautiful island of St. Martins, I opted for a massage at the spa in my luxury hotel. Little did I know when I booked the session, the therapist who would be treating me that day would be French, as in "not speaking a word of English" French.Having learned Spanish in high school and college, I was unable to comprends my masseuse.
However, she could communicate with me. And it's not because she studied English in college. It's because she studied massage after college. Massage, I would soon realize on her table, is a universal language. Pascale, my French therapist, spoke it fluently. While I settled into a more relaxed state of consciousness as she worked my feet, it dawned on me that this Gallic masseuse also demonstrated a transportability of talent; a gift that she could take wherever she chooses to go on planet Earth. Wherever Pascale is, so are her hands. And that can carry her further in life than her feet ever will.
That day, she demonstrated a powerful reality that so few massage therapists who work on others' muscles and bones, really know in their own bones. And that is, that they're highly employable and can go to work in the cities of their choices. This is an important fact that could give you, if you're a massage therapist, far greater freedom than you probably have ever realized.
Are you doing Thai massage at an office in Ohio, but secretly are hankering for hot stone at a clinic in California? Then go west. Are you doing deep tissue at a chiropractic office in Michigan, but really sweet on a spa in Arizona? Go for it. Are you busy doing sports massage in Minnesota, but would rather do craniosacral in Florida? You have a portable set of skills; take them wherever you'd like. This capacity to move and work how and where you'd like, applies beyond the borders of your state as well. I've taught continuing education classes at a couple of Florida State Massage Therapy Association conventions and nearly 10 different chapter meetings. I've also privately coached dozens of therapists from Key West to Pensacola, so many of whom talk about the summer as their slow season. (That concept warrants its own column so tune in at a later date for that.) If it's slow where you are and you have the freedom of movement, then go where it isn't slow. Sure, if you have a family and kids in school, it's not easy to pack up your gear and go elsewhere. But many therapists are single and do have that freedom. Few, however, have a visceral realization that they speak a universal tongue that's heard and desired everywhere. And that, more than any other reason, is what keeps most therapists here during the "slow season" instead of in more populated locations of summer in more delightful climes.
Choosing to work in the Smokey Mountains of North Carolina, the Catskill or Adirondack Mountains of New York, the shores of southern New Jersey or the cape in Massachusetts means that you've gotten the message that massage is portable. You already take your table into your car for outcalls that might require drives of 12 miles. So why can't you pack it into your car for a drive of 1,200 miles?
Speaking your universal language in cooler climes enables you to choose an appealing lifestyle, something I personally relate to. When I first came to Florida in the winter of 1997, it was for one cold February. As I discovered that my work, too, was portable, I expanded snowbird getaways to three months. Within two years, I'd bought (what I thought was) a winter home in South Florida. It didn't take long to see that the delightful weather was quickly transforming me from a snowbird that spends four months per year in the Sunshine State, into a summer refugee, who leaves the humid summers for the mountain breezes of legendary Woodstock, New York, for five months. Whenever I tell people of my two homes (seven months in Florida and five in New York), I invariably hear the expression, "best of both worlds." Well, guess what; depending on your personal situation, you might be able to have the very same, even if your northern home is a rental.
When you recognize that you speak a universal language, you also understand that virtually everybody wants what you offer. It's important that you speak it daily, many times every day. Doing that every day might even bring so many new clients onto your table that, while other therapists complain of their slow season, you're busy massaging in July as if it were January. And you won't need to think about going anywhere else to find clients. This means that you, along with every massage therapist you know, will have broken through the limited thinking of how hard it is to find new clients. The deeper truth isn't how you can get new clients, but rather who is going to become your next client today. This one shift in consciousness is so powerful that it can literally transform your entire massage business.
Who will become your next client? Is it the lawyer standing by the chips and dip at the party whose stiff neck is crying out desperately for deep tissue work? Perhaps it's the single mom of three on the mat next to yours in your yoga class who is bending and stretching to relax her harried nerves. Or maybe it's your tennis partner or opponent who needs to soothe an aching tennis elbow or tight hamstring?
In cities like New York, Los Angeles or our own Miami, which have high concentrations of Latin American citizens, you'll frequently run across stores that have signs in the windows that read, "Se habla Espanol." In other words, "Spanish is spoken here." It's time that you put an analogous sign on your forehead that reads, "Universal Language of Massage Spoken Here." Those Spanish signs help those merchants succeed; your sign can help you, too.

Say sorry for Maggie's role in the miners' strike, Labour tell the Tories
- Shadow minister, Michael Dugher to raise issue in the Commons
- Call for ministers to set out 'all details' of interactions between the Government and police at the time
- Mr Dugher will suggest an investigation into the 1984 Battle of Orgreave
- 10,000 miners clashed with 5,000 police officers in the ugliest confrontation of the strike at the Orgreave coking plant near Sheffield
- Thatcher's Secretary of State for Trade and Industry brands move absurd
- Lord Tebbit says police used to protect miners who wanted to go to work
Labour will launch a bizarre campaign today to make David Cameron issue a formal public apology for Margaret Thatcher's handling of the miners' strike in the 1980s.
The Opposition will insist that the Government should say sorry for the actions of the late prime minister's administration, claiming it deliberately sought to escalate the dispute.
Shadow Cabinet Office minister, Michael Dugher will raise the issue in the Commons, challenging ministers to set out 'all details of the interactions between the Government and the police at the time'.
Campaign: Labour want to make David Cameron issue a formal public apology for Margaret Thatcher's handling of the miners' strike in the 1980s
He will also suggest that there should be a 'proper investigation' into the ugliest confrontation of the strike in 1984, when 10,000 striking miners clashed with 5,000 police officers in what became known as the Battle of Orgreave.
Lord Tebbit, who was Baroness Thatcher's trade and industry secretary during the strike, dismissed Labour's 'justice for the coalfields' campaign as absurd.
'Next they'll want an apology for freeing the Falklands,' the Conservative peer said. 'I presume Ed Miliband is doing this in order to get some more money from Unite [the union].
'My recollection is that the police were principally used to protect miners who wanted to go to work and who had not been granted a ballot, but were being prevented from doing so by [National Union of Mineworkers leader] Arthur Scargill's hate mob.
Confrontation: Police grapple with those on the picket line at Orgreave
'Neither Labour nor Scargill has ever apologised for that.'
Lord Tebbit added: 'I trust the Government will merely laugh at this ridiculous campaign.'
It is likely to cause unease among the dwindling band of Blairite Labour MPs, who will fear that the party risks alienating Middle England by appearing to back Mr Scargill in a 30-year-old argument.
The move comes after the release of Cabinet papers earlier this month showing that Lady Thatcher came within days of declaring a state of emergency and calling out the military four months into the miners' strike.
Scathing: Lord Tebbit, who was Baroness Thatcher¿s trade and industry secretary during the strike, dismissed Labour's 'justice for the coalfields' campaign as absurd
Dismissal: Lord Tebbit, pictured with Margaret Thatcher in 1985, said he presumed Labour was campaigning for an apology to get money from union Unite
Ministers secretly discussed recalling Parliament in the summer of 1984 to pass emergency legislation, according to documents released to the National Archives.
The files show that plans were drawn up for soldiers to transport food and coal, but the idea was dismissed on the grounds that it would cause panic.
Labour says the papers also suggest that the Thatcher government had a secret plan to close 75 pits at the cost of 65,000 jobs and that it sought to influence police tactics to escalate the dispute.
Industrial action was triggered in March 1984 by plans to close 20 loss-making pits. Mr Scargill went into battle with the Tories and a year-long war of attrition ensued.

Strikes: Industrial action was triggered in March 1984 by plans to close 20 loss-making pits. National Union of Mineworkers leader Arthur Scargill went into battle with the Tories and a year-long war of attrition ensued
Mr Dugher, MP for the former pit town of Barnsley, where Mr Scargill was born, said: 'For those of us who lived through the strike and who saw the events and impact they had first hand, what was revealed in the Cabinet papers may not come as a surprise.
'But it is no less shocking to consider that, far from being neutral, as was claimed at the time, it is clear that the Government took a deliberately calculated political approach guided by a complete hostility to the coalfield communities.
'That is why I am calling for justice for the coalfields.'
He added: 'Ministers may want to sweep these events under the carpet, but the scars of the dispute and the subsequent closure programme remain on the memories, communities and landscapes of all coalfield communities.
'They must now apologise and deliver transparency to begin to foster reconciliation with the coalfield communities.'

Naval Architect Sam Stevens, from BMT Nigel Gee Ltd, a subsidiary of BMT Group Ltd an international maritime design, engineering and risk management consultancy recently undertook one of the biggest engineering challenges of his career to date.
Sam was part of a team of four competing in the Sky1 premiere of SAFEBREAKERS, a brand new series produced by Maverick TV, hosted by Ben Shephard. Sam and his team were tasked with building an amphibious car from scratch, with a budget of £1000. After just two days designing and building the special machine, his team, The CADS, went head to head with fellow engineering enthusiasts to battle it out for the top prize of £5,000, secured in a safe in a seemingly inaccessible location.
This fast paced, engaging series encourages mind power and problem solving. Each week two teams must construct their own vehicles, from fire engines and bulldozers to cranes and tanks, in a mechanical challenge that will push them to their limits. To win the money, the teams must collect the numbers needed to crack the code on the safe with speed and agility, which is easier said than done.
Sam Stevens explains: "Building a car in just two days was certainly no mean feat, but we were very proud of the end result. The most challenging aspect of the design was the compromise between the required performance on land and water, whilst adhering to the limited budget for parts and materials and the very short timescale in which to build the machine. All this required some innovative engineering!"
Paolo Proto, Series Producer for Maverick TV comments: "SAFEBREAKERS is a rugged boy's adventure, an entertainment show that celebrates the best of British innovation, ingenuity and engineering skill."
After graduating with an MEng (Hons) in Ship Science, Sam joined BMT Nigel Gee in 2006 and currently works in the structural department on a range of projects from Yacht designs to the new range of Windfarm Support Vessels being designed by BMT.
SAFEBREAKERS begins on Sky1, Monday 15th August at 8pm. You can see Sam in action in next Monday's programme.

Biggest gaffes in NHL playoff history
Click on the photo for the biggest gaffes in NHL playoff history.
When San Jose defenseman Dan Boyle inadvertently scored on his own net in the playoffs on April 18, Steve Smith might have been laughing somewhere.
Smith holds the dubious distinction of scoring an own goal that prevented the Edmonton Oilers from winning five straight Stanley Cups in the 1980s in one of the biggest gaffes in sports history.
Boyle and Smith are hardly the only players with embarrassing postseason episodes, though.
Here's a look at the top hockey blunders of the modern postseason era.

Cash Windfall Looms For Employers
Hire a young person for two years, and let SARS foot the bill
Hire a young person without work experience for two years, and your company will get its money back from SARS.That, in broad brushstrokes, is one of Minister of Finance Pravin Gordhan' s proposals to help boost employment numbers.
At least 800 000 people are expected to qualify initially for the tax incentive. Under consideration is a cash reimbursement to employers, operating through SARS payroll system and subject to minimum labour standards."It will be available to tax-compliant businesses, non-governmental organisations and municipalities,"said Gordhan of the proposed subsidy.
Speaking in Parliament when he unveiled South Africa's annual national budget, Gordhan said that job creation was a priority, and one component of the employment strategy is to promote job creation for the youth.
South Africa is being positioned on a new growth path aimed at job creation, poverty reduction and faster economic growth, he said during a media briefing. "We agree with COSATU. Our economy needs to be transformed to meet the needs of all of our people.We also agree that growth on its own is insufficient to solve our unemployment problem.We need to expand the capacity of the economy to grow sustainably, and we need growth that is more labour absorbing."
Gross job creation has nearly halved over the past 12 months as companies have cut back on hiring, noted the national treasury in a report.Young, lower-skilled, and male workers have been most affected. But regardless of age, the overall unemployment estimate is grim.Only 44% of South Africa's working-age population had a job,compared with an international rate of about 60%, "even before last year's recession".The Budget Review 2010 states that mining employment has declined more than 40% since the1990s.
Bucking the trend, meanwhile,has been the financial services sector, which continued to create jobs in 2009."Finance, insurance,real estate, and business services …have been responsible for 30% of South Africa's growth since 1994,and account for 21% of GDP," said the review.
Also swelling in number has been the civil service, with an additional 300 000 state jobs created between 2001 and 2008, its aid. Expanded public works programmes have contributed to short-term job creation.Gordhan emphasised the need for economic growth in order to make a "sustained impact on unemployment".

Which ecosystem am I talking about?
IBM had ruled and still rules the mainframe ecosystem . But the game changed!
Microsoft lorded over the desktop ecosystem. It still does but we all know that the game is changing again.
But what is the new game?
You would be pardoned if you think that the new game in town is the smartphone and tablet ecosystem. Most people think that way.
For sometime it did look like that. But the real new ecosystem is not about the hardware and really about the hosted services … and clearly, Google is winning.
Remember, what happened when Apple replaced Google map with its own? Does it matter to Google if iPhone sells more that Galaxy as long as Google services runs on iPhone? How much more usable would Windows phone have been if all Google services ran smoothly on it? Have you met a person who knowingly chooses Bing over Google search?
And … the nature of the new ecosystem is different
Earlier ecosystems were built on familiarity, standardization, interoperability and supporting infrastructure.
- Familiarity = Once you are used to a way of working why would you want to change?
- Standardization = Why would IT want to complicate life by introducing variety?
- Interoperability = Who would want do develop a product which cannot coexist with the most popular ecosystem?
- Supporting Infrastructure = People, expertise, add-on products etc.
But, the core product would not improve on its own just because more people are using it. User needs and user feedback had to be programmed into the next version.
Herein lies the beauty of the next generation of services – be it Google Search, Google Map, YouTube, Facebook, Amazon or even Wikipedia.
They improve on their own through learning algorithms
Learning algorithm = Algorithms that becomes more accurate on its own when more people use it
A good example of Learning Algorithm is Google Search. Have you noticed how accurately it can understand misspelled words – words not in the dictionary, proper names, abbreviations, Indian regional language words etc.? How you noticed how accurate the auto-suggest is? You would rarely have to type your complete search terms. It works so well even when you try to search something like an Indian regional language song.
Microsoft came up with UI innovations in Bing but Google could easily adopt what worked well. I have not yet met anybody who prefers to use Bing over Google.
IBM Watson won the Jeopardy! and had the ability to answer questions like a human. In May 2012 Google introduced "Knowledge Graph" and with that, you get direct answers to many questions in addition to the search results.
Even if some service replicates the algorithm, it would not be as good because the usage database would be missing. It would be a chicken and egg situation because people will not use it as it is not as good and the algorithm would not become better because people do not use it as much.
Same is the case with Google Maps. With more usage it becomes more accurate. Apple has already burnt its finger by trying to replace it.
Have you checked out Google's indoor mapping initiative (where GPS signals are not available) – if not then have a look at this and this!
Who can challenge Google?

Amazon? … Would you purchase without comparing price? Serious purchasing without price comparison is a no-no.
Apple? … Industry best kept secret is that new generation Android phones are already superior to iPhone – and Steve Jobs is not around to pull a rabbit out of his hat.

More and more companies are looking to microservices as an architectural pattern for breaking apart applications into more manageable pieces so that agile teams can deliver new features quicker and more effectively. What this pattern has done more than anything to date is spark organizational transformations, setting the foundation for future application development. In practice, however, there are a number of considerations to make that go beyond simply "build, ship, and run," which changes ho...

Gartner is now treating algorithms like they are some kind of innovative addition to the modern digital discussion. Presumably the brilliant minds there have some novel insight into algorithms and, yes, the Algorithm Economy that CIOs should sit up and take notice of. Not only are algorithms nothing new, but much of what Gartner is saying about them is obvious. The bigger picture here is that software continues to improve, and enterprises are becoming increasingly software-driven, in part bec...

Acacia Villas Guest House
We were very pleased with the location.
We were very close to the train station, the University and the centre of Guildford. The owner was very friendly and made us feel welcome. We arrived early and she let us have the room straight away. The room had everything we needed and had recently been decorated. The accommodation was very clean. Although we had a shared bathroom we did not see any other guests during our visit. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

It's typical Guildford cheapy accommodation
Even though it's budget stay, I can't endure no car park and no noise insulation through the wall.
When I stayed there were lots of workers in this small house accommodation and they liked chatting themselves with no consideration of other few people. I was one of few people who required a headphone to cancel noise.
Well, if you try to slightly better quality with 10 pounds more, I will do in such an expensive place to stay like Guildford. Good luck with your stay search.

nice clean comfortable room
A very pleasant stay and would recommend it!
The accommodation and management is very good.
Lovely place to stay
We were given a warm welcome by the owner, who was friendly and accommodating.
The room was very well kept and comfortable, and the location was a couple of minutes walk from the city centre, but not noisy at all while we were sleeping. Bargain for the price.

BJP responsible for power shortage: Soren
Ranchi: Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren Tuesday alleged that BJP was responsible for the shortage of electricity as MoUs signed during its regime in the energy sector had failed to increase a single unit of power in the state.
"If any party has been responsible for the (power) situation, it is the BJP. They have signed MoUs, but failed to add a single unit," Soren told reporters here.
"BJP should not blame others for its failure," he said.
Reacting to media queries on BJP agitation on power, Soren said it was the saffron party`s "politics over electricity" and had nothing to do with the concerns of the people.
The chief minister said work in power department was going on in full swing after the process of unbundling of Jharkhand State Electricity Board was completed.

A trio of Cubs migrated to a new camp as Kris Bryant, Albert Almora and Jorge Soler were reassigned by Chicago in a busy day of movement Wednesday. The Indians also opted to send their top prospect, Francisco Lindor, to the Minor League camp.
None of the three had been expected to open the season with the Cubs. Bryant, MLB.com's No. 9 prospect, saw little action in Spring Training, slugging two homers in nine at-bats. Almora also achieved success in little playing time, going 5-for-9, while Soler finished 2-for-8.
"We're glad they're Cubbies," manager Rick Renteria told MLB.com's Carrie Muskat. "They've shown their ability to be professionals here in terms of how they carried themselves, some of the performances they had in the course of the spring. Now it's time for them to get down there and start getting more at-bats and start getting ready for the regular season for themselves and continue to develop and improve on their skill sets. It's like anything, all players are a little disappointed, but they know there's a reason and purpose for what we do."
There remains a strong chance that the trio could end up together this year, with Soler being assigned to Double-A Tennessee. Bryant finished 2013 in Class A Advanced Daytona, making him a fair bet to play for the Smokies this year. Almora, MLB.com's No. 18 prospect, spent last season in Class A Kane County.
Lindor, a 20-year-old shortstop who follows Bryant on MLB.com's overall rankings at No. 10, split last season between Class A Advanced Carolina and Double-A Akron. Lindor missed the final month of 2013 with a lower back strain and ended the season with a .303/.380/.407 slash line while stealing 25 bases.
Meanwhile, Justin Nicolino was assigned to Minor League camp by the Marlins and is expected to begin the year in Double-A Jacksonville, making the Southern League a hot ticket for prospect watchers. MLB.com's No. 81 prospect was 8-4 in 27 Minor League starts, nine of which were made for the Suns.
And former teammates A.J. Cole and Robbie Ray were reassigned by their respective clubs, Cole by the Nationals and Ray by the Tigers. Ray was traded to Detroit by Washington during the offseason for pitcher Doug Fister. Cole stands at No. 69 on MLB.com's Top 100 while Ray checks in at No. 97. The pair pitched together last year in Double-A Harrisburg.
