13-year old CEO seeks $100k in venture capital.

May 21, 2007 Thought YOU were ambitious? How's this from a 13-year-old: "Our goal is to achieve 1 million dollars in revenue by the end of middle school, which is next year." The surprise hit of this year's TiECON, the Elementeo chief has already booked 450 sales of his upcoming first product.

How the nursing shortage affects nurses

The nursing shortage in some ways benefits nurses, because it means that nurses are highly sought after by employers,  but it can be hugely stressful for them as well.
When hospitals can’t hire enough nurses, the nurses that they do have end up working a lot of overtime, which is physically exhausting. Who do you want [...]

Teenager Shows Us How To Decompose Plastic Faster

Teenagers get a lot of bad rap these days. Their stereotypical images on society as drug users, rebels, smart mouths, immature animals, etc., leave many of us, well... a little worried. These stereotypical images rarely allow us to picture the average teenagers out there. There are many teenagers using their brains and living a good life while leaving a wonderful impact on the world. For instance, take 16 year old Daniel Burd and his famous plastic decomposition science project.

The Olympics Scam · Iain Sinclair: The Razing of East London

In the mornings, there is a clinging, overripe smell that some people say drifts in from the countryside, a folk memory of what these clipped green acres used, so recently, to be. Mulch of market gardens. Animal droppings in hot mounds. The distant rumble of construction convoys. The heron dance of elegant cloud-scraping cranes. Flocks of cyclists clustering together for safety, dipping and swerving like swallows. Hard hats and yellow tabards monkeying over the scaffolding of shrouded towers, the steel ribs of emerging stadia. Early risers, in the privilege of first-use recreation, a smudge of sun burning off the fug of pollution that hangs over a pre-Olympic city, fall into quiet conversation. Ice-cream kiss of almond blossom, bridal abundance of cherry: pink and white. Yellow pom-poms of japonica, horticultural cheerleaders. In a corner, under a high wall that gives away the previous identity of this public park as a decommissioned energy-generating plant, retired workers sway, stiffly and slowly, in t'ai chi ballets.

IAC / InterActive's Barry Diller on The Spinoff Plan

Eric Savitz (Barron's) submits:

IAC/Interactive (IACI) CEO Barry Diller is being interviewed at D: All Things Digital in Carlsbad by Kara Swisher. Here are some of the highlights.

• Diller describes his recent litigation with Liberty Capital’s (LCAPA) John Malone as a three-month clump if his life that he could have done without. Diller said he thinks they thought it would force them to sell an asset at a price below what it was worth.
• Diller is talking about his plan to slice IACI into five public companies. Diller says to take 30,000 employees who live all over the place into one culture that they can believe; he says you can't do that unless you are in a business like Procter & Gamble (PG) or GE (GE). He says the businesses in IACI are so disparate. Diller says on August 1 IAC will be five separate companies: HSN, Interval, Ticketmaster, Lending Tree and new IAC, which will be pure Internet. (But you knew that already.) Diller says no on else has multiple sites that relate to each other, but are businesses of their own. He says IAC has become expert at search optimization. Can take a company like Lexico in house, and improve results doing nothing other than things we kind of know how to do, he says.
• Diller says they likes to buy things, and start things. He says one thing you do is go where the trouble is, when you have lots of moving parts. There is always trouble, so time for doing the opposite, which is creating trouble, is relatively minimal. “I want to get back to that,” he says. “I’ve always been in the product business.” Always been in that product/editorial business. “If you have a good idea, and there is some underlying business purpose to it…you have to stay with it.” Diller is really excited about doing an original news product - the new venture with Tina Brown - but he is not giving up its name.
• Diller on Hollywood: “a community that is so inbred it is a wonder their children actually have any teeth.”
• Diller on the writer’s strike: Both sides are at fault. That’s self-defining. He says they did not accomplish anything.
• On Ask.com: The number 4 search engine property.
• On Microsoft/Yahoo: When a company gets a 60% premium offer, spends 3 months looking for an alternative, one side has to be smart and wily, and the other side has to be otherwise. (He won’t say which side is which.) “It is absolutely incomprehensible.” Diller said you would have to tell them stay with me, and I will get you more for your stock. If they stay independent - “which I doubt” - time will tell. Diller says “of course it is a good idea” for Microsoft (MSFT) to buy Yahoo (YHOO).
• Diller on Google: They are irrelevant to us. A different competitive set issue than for Microsoft, he says. If you are after scale, he says, that is one thing. For IAC, he says, “I believe our product is in most respects better.” He says the issue for them is building on the strength of ask, and asking questions. It’s used for references, and actual question queries. He notes that Google has 60% of search market, and far greater share of advertising. He says all IAC has to do is increasing queries. “I think we have a real chance to increase queries,” he says. “Eventually an opening will come, somehow, some way.” He says Google (GOOG) will not forever own 60%-90% of the search business.
• On the Facebook valuation: Private valuations for things are just willing seller and buyer; they don’t have any reality. It is not their valuation until they are out in the public market place. What it is “is a damn great service.” Diller says a few years ago, he thought nothing would interrupt “stories,” and the story-telling experience. He says it is very true for older people, but that interaction. He says Facebook is nothing more than the Princess phone 20 years ago.
• More on community: Diller says TripAdvisor - which is part of Diller-controlled Expedia  (EXPE) - has become a huge business. He says it is a better tool than most other things for travel advice.

Solar Again Under Attack

Notable Calls submits:

Solar stocks may be under attack again today... Bloomberg is reporting First Solar's (FSLR) 2nd largest shareholder sold half his shares. Meanwhile, Chinese poly wafer producers LDK Solar (LDK) and ReneSola (SOL) have been downgraded. It is noteworthy that Morgan Stanley underwrote LDK's convert offering and upgraded LDK at the same time. MS seems to come clean finally that LDK is not a buy.

Time to short FSLR too. I've noticed that FSLR CEO Ahearn sold nearly 1/2 of his position since it started to trade in the high $200s. How could that not be bearish for the stock when the firm's founder dumps his shares like thin film is going out of fashion.

Mar 5, Carnival's New Splendor Undergoes Final Outfitting

Carnival Cruise Lines' new 113,300-ton Carnival Splendor is undergoing final outfitting at Fincantieri's Sestri yard in Genoa, Italy. The 3,006-passenger vessel -- the largest "Fun Ship" ever constructed -- is slated to debut July 2 with an eight-day voyage from Genoa before launching a series of 12-day Northern Europe cruises from London (Dover) -- Carnival's first within this region -- beginning July 13. Representing a new class for the line, Carnival Splendor will offer a 21,000-square-foot Cloud 9 Spa that will include a thalassotherapy pool and an elaborate thermal suite. Adjacent to the spa will be 68 spa staterooms and suites-a first for the line. Carnival Splendor will also offer a 5,500-square-foot children's play area -- the largest in the "Fun Ship" fleet -- along with a water spray park. Following its European season, Carnival Splendor will reposition to Fort Lauderdale to operate a winter season of seven-day Caribbean sailings. The ship will embark on three South America voyages then operate year-round seven-day Mexican Riviera voyages from Long Beach, continuing the line's expansion of its West Coast operations.
