Emma Slade, Steve Kearney, Briget Callow-Wright heading for the UK’s Production Finance Market.
Sales agents from across the world yesterday voted New Zealand’s Emma Slade as the producer at the 37º South Market who most deserves a spot at the UK’s Production Finance Market (Pfm) in October, plus $1,860 (A$2,000) in travel assistance.
Runner-ups Steve Kearney and Bridget Callow-Wright from Australia also won places – but no cash.

The education reform superstar presided over substantial test score irregularities during her term as D.C. schools chancellor, an investigation has found-but Dana Goldstein says the findings are no surprise. Plus, Diane Ravitch blasts Michelle Rhee.
Bad education policy is no excuse for cheating-especially cheating from principals and teachers, whom we hope will serve as role models for our kids. But the sad truth is that we shouldn't be surprised by USA Today's disheartening findings on test score irregularities in the Washington, D.C., public schools during the reign of Michelle Rhee, the firebrand former chancellor best known for firing teachers, closing underperforming schools, and linking teacher and principal pay to student test scores. Such irregularities are, in part, the unintended consequence of a spate of popular education reform policies that over-rationalize teaching and learning-both of which are creative processes-by measuring them almost exclusively through the results of multiple-choice standardized tests.

Donald Campbell was travelling in excess of 300mph aboard the Bluebird K7 hydroplane when it flipped during an attempt to break the world water speed record in 1967. This film observes the restoration of the recently discovered craft. The footage of Campbell's crash in Coniston Water is as frightening now as it was for TV viewers in 1967, as his fragile hydroplane is clearly in trouble before it dramatically rears up, flips, and slams into the water at over 300mph.
