So we ran this last year and it was loads of fun, going to do it again this year but we will add a few changes for this year to make collating the results easier. So first off the rules: All players must have there 'bets' in before the first practice session, if they are posted after this they will not count You may pick one 'star driver' at the start of the season who cannot be the previous world champion For each result you get right, that is your star driver you get double points Points for 1st to 6th will be awarded as they are in F1, pole will be awarded 10 points Your 'star driver' must be chosen before the first practice session of the first…

There's not a lot of details right now, but the initial reports are that the first team that left this morning in the UP200 was hit at a crossing by a motorist. The motorist fled the scene, several dogs are injured but the musher is okay. Below is all they've got posted on their website. Here's hoping that the dogs all pull through. http://up200.org/ ATTENTION: The UPSDA reports an incident early Sunday morning along Michigan Highway 28 near Wetmore involving a motor vehicle. The musher is unharmed although dogs were injured and are being cared for by our Veterinary Team. Further information will be forthcoming as the police and the UPSDA Board continue the…

Just read this - and it's annoyed me, if this was joe bloggs dog off the street it would have been PTS already! I do feel sorry for the dog and for the people that were attacked - it escaped and it's trained to attack under orders - without "a master" maybe he went off on one? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-21380963

Have any of you heard about The Olivia Act? http://theoliviaact.blogspot.com/ In short: The Olivia Act was started by a professional photographer after the Connecticut school shooting in December 2012. One of the children lost that day was named Olivia. Olivia’s family had recently had professional photographs taken. Realizing how cherished those photos would be to that family now, the photographer started the Olivia Act to provide a free family portrait session to a family who might not otherwise be able to afford professional photography. I recently signed up to take part (I'm a professional photographer in California) Anyway, It seems to be a worlwi…

Lewis Hamilton's first day of testing for his new Mercedes team got off to a bad start when he crashed after 15 laps because of a braking problem. The 2008 world champion lost control at the end of the back straight at the Jerez circuit in southern Spain. Hamilton was unhurt after ploughing across a gravel trap and into a tyre wall. The team were unable to fix the car in time to run again, continuing a troubled start to their 2013 campaign. "I'm just glad that firstly I'm safe and that it's happened now, not when we're in the season or something," said Hamilton. "This is what testing is about. It's about getting through those development phases, errors or whatever th…

Every dog owner in England will have to microchip their animal by April 2016 under plans aimed at cutting the growing number of strays. The government says owners who refuse to comply with changes to the Animal Welfare Act face fines of up to £500. Rice-sized microchips with a code containing the contact details of owners will be fitted to dogs. A legal loophole could also be closed, meaning owners could face prosecution if their dog attacked on private land. Relieve the burden Government figures reveal that more than 100,000 dogs are dumped or lost each year, at a cost of £57m to the taxpayer and welfare charities. It hopes the change in the law will help "reunit…

Emirates airline has signed a five-year branding deal with Formula One in a bid to boost its global presence. The deal has an annual value of at least $10m (£6.3m), according to Reuters, which quoted Emirates Chairman Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed al-Maktoum. The Emirates logo will now be displayed on Formula One circuit bridges, course grounds and in team paddocks, starting with the Malaysian Grand Prix in March. In November, Emirates agreed to a new £150m sponsorship deal with Arsenal. "Emirates will become the global partner with Formula One beginning in 2013," said Sheikh Ahmed, who is also the uncle of the ruler of Dubai. "We are looking at sponsorship of more sports…
