Quixote Studios

Quixote Studios - Spanning 4 continents, 10 countries, and over 32,000 miles, three teams raced to the finish line on the 17th season finale of 'The Amazing Race' Sunday night.

Doctors and friends Nat Strand and Kat Chang came from behind at the beginning of the final leg to win The Amazing Race. They beat out dating couple Jill Haney/Thomas Wolfard and home shopping hosts Brook Roberts/Claire Champlin to claim the million dollar prize. Strand and Chang are the first all-female team to win the Race.

The final leg began in Seoul, South Korea. Teams departed for Los Angeles on the same flight. Nat had to confront her fear of heights as each team had to complete a bungee swing from a crane at the port in Long Beach. The teams then took a helicopter ride to a mystery destination, which turned out to be the Rose Bowl stadium. There, the Road Block required one team member to complete three sections of a Rose Bowl Parade float. Nat, Thomas, and Brook took on the task. Nat finished first and received a clue with three trivia questions where the answers would inform the teams of their next destination.

The doctors were the first to figure out that they needed to go to Studio 7 at Quixote Studios. In the final challenge, the teams had to correctly identify the 11 greeters from each leg in the correct order from a flashing game show board where Bob Eubanks served as host. Brook and Claire headed straight to a hotel with internet and were able to figure out the clues quickly. Jill and Thomas struggled to find anyone who could understand what they meant when they asked for "internet."

Man Hits Teen on Plane Over iPhone

Man Hits Teen on Plane Over iPhone - Police say a man on a Southwest Airlines flight from Las Vegas punched a teenager who refused to turn off his iPhone as the plane approached the Boise airport. Officers arrested 68-year-old Russell E. Miller, of Boise, on suspicion of misdemeanor battery Tuesday. He has been released from jail on bond. Witnesses told police the 15-year-old was playing games and listening to music on his cell phone when flight attendants instructed passengers to turn off their electronic devices because the plane was landing. Witnesses told police that when the teen didn't respond, Miller got angry and punched the boy in the arm. Miller says he "tapped" the teen on the shoulder after he refused to turn off the phone. He told the Idaho Statesman that he may have "overreacted," but that he did not punch the teen. Man Hits Teen on Plane Over iPhone

Interac’s first two Flash issuers are Scotiabank and RBC Royal Bank, which will roll out their first contactless cards next summer.
