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."

Contactless Debit Cards

Contactless Debit Cards - Contactless debit cards will make their formal debut in Canada next year with the launch of Interac Flash from Acxsys Corp.’s Interac Association, Canada’s national debit network. Interac’s first two Flash issuers are Scotiabank and RBC Royal Bank, which will roll out their first contactless cards next summer. The first acquirer is TD Merchant Services, a unit of Toronto-Dominion Bank. More issuers and acquirers are on the way, an Interac spokesperson tells Digital Transactions News, though no announcements have been made yet. Interac and the banks tested Flash this summer at some high-volume, small-ticket merchants in downtown Toronto. The spokesperson expects national merchants will be making formal announcements about acceptance. “There’s a lot of excitement in the merchant community,” she says. “Merchants are looking for that faster throughput.” In a statement, the Retail Council of Canada endorsed the new card. “Interac Flash is a welcome and needed ...

Homes Losing Value Fastest

Homes Losing Value Fastest - Homeowners with Citigroup loans in foreclosure-rich Virginia Beach, Va., and Orlando, Fla., are in luck. The mortgage giant announced today that it will impose a moratorium on most foreclosures and modify $20 billion in mortgages to enable homeowners who are not behind on their loans, but in danger of falling behind, to avoid foreclosure. Those that don't fall under the plan? They're in hot water. Well, underwater. Virginia Beach homeowners who bought homes this year possess a paltry 5.2% of home equity, and 34.5% owe more on their property than it's worth, according to Zillow.com, a real estate research group. That's the worst rate in the country. Even in Orlando and Miami, two cities hammered by bad loans and home-equity dips, only 30% and 29% of homeowners are underwater, respectively. It's a similar story in El Centro, Calif., Bakersfield, Calif., and Cumberland, Md. What's certain to follow? Foreclosures. "Negative...
