15 – 25 years Old:
The body is very youthful, resilient, and has not experienced pain from previous injuries. Risk tolerance is higher. Carbohydrate tolerance is higher and should be kept in check when looking to get super lean. Keep the risky exercises in check and stay basic. Basic wins every time. This is the era for body design.
25 – 35 Years Old.
The body is extremely capable and muscle is easiest to grow. As you get closer to 35 years old, we will look towards joint stability, core strength and developing the skills you will need later on in life. You are going to be training your metabolism for the next 15 years. Develop good habits and men, when you hit 35, you can't exercise like you are 25. So stop!
Looking to get lean, check this INFOGRAPHIC {click on image to enlarge} detailing WHAT IT TAKES to reach certain body fat goals.
35 – 50 Years Old.
Physical endurance, fast twitch muscle fiber and YOUTHFUL AGING become the priorities. Making sure we start changing priorities to the "inside" of your body becomes paramount. 35 years of body abuse will take its toll. Posture restoration from the consequences of years of prolonged sitting, standing, or repetitive syndrome will come to the forefront. Counter-acting aging becomes the center piece to maintain and improve the quality of your life, and is more of a factor than ever. Your metabolism is slowing and sitting back to a glass or two of wine every night, even when you eat healthy will start to show. Sorry! Those fruits and vegetables that Jack Lalane preached for years are more important than ever. Eat up!
50 – 65 Years Old.
This is the era that is going to require you to build strength. Females, it is now time to accept that becoming stronger is going to prolong your life. We need to pass this knowledge down to those who are younger. As we age, we loose the ability of our fast twitch muscle fibers. We need these to dance, walk, play and enjoy life. Your metabolism is slowing, hormone changes are the norm for both genders and anti-aging exercises (think strong) , nutrition and MINDSET become the focal points of life, rather than career and education. This is the moment when you give back to others. Learn the health, life lessons and pass them on. The dumbbells and barbells that your coaches told you were so important for all those years, really are. Getting this era right will set you up for your GOLDEN years.
Body, figure, BALANCE, pain elimination. Time to "Tune Up" your body, activate as much muscle as possible and take your body out of the control zone, so you can move and be happy like a kid again. If you don't move, you will find your ability to get around greatly diminished.

Arkansas Students Try to Eliminate the "R Word"
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - There are words in the English language that people have managed to get rid of over time, or replace with better alternatives, but there's still one that persists.
The word is "retarded" and when used to describe someone, it's offensive.
During March, National Disabilities Awareness Month, students across Arkansas have joined the "Spread the Word to End the Word" campaign.
Trea Kiser is a senior at Cabot High School. He and some of his friends collected petition signatures on their campus to get students to pledge to not use the "R word" anymore. Kiser says most don't realize how much it can hurt others.
"Kids don't realize that they might be talking to somebody that either has a friend, or a family or loved one, that is intellectually disabled," says Kiser. "And they don't realize that it could either hurt them internally, but they may not show it, or it could make them feel small."
Kiser says he hears other kids verbally bullying each other and hopes that by signing the pledge, students won't tolerate name-calling.
Kiser thinks if there's enough education about how hurtful that word can be, eventually it will be eliminated from our vocabulary.
"I was talking to some of the kids at my school and they were like, 'Well, I'm just signing the pledge, and I don't know if I'll be able to stop saying it completely.' And I said, 'You know what? This is the first step - if you need to sign it a million times to stop saying it, by God, I'm going to help you do it.'"
In 1987, President Ronald Reagan designated March as National Disabilities Awareness Month. And in 2010 President Obama signed Rosa's Law, which removed references to "mentally retarded individuals" and the term "mental retardation" from U.S. law.
They were replaced with the phrases "individuals with intellectual disabilities" and "intellectual disability."

Google to Motor Over Android Profits
You can tell how much Google cares about its Android "partners" by the price Motorola plans to charge for its smartphones. Rolfe Winkler explains on the News Hub. Photo: Getty Images.

We've all been there. Nothing to do all day, a look through your steam library reveals nothing of too much interest despite the huge amount of unplayed titles, you walk over to your multiple consoles, have a look what has actually been installed and is immediately playable and nope… nothing you actually want to play.
So what do you do when this feeling strikes? Contemplate writing about the good old days where you could simply slide a disc into your console and play? Cry? Play a game you don't really want to play? Do something productive?! Well, I've done 2 out of 4 of these today and only now, as the day draws to a close have I found a solution – browser-based game emulation!
That's right, emulation without all the waiting. Obviously, there is a very limited range of games you can play in this way. Of course, most of them are classic titles, but they're classic for a reason; they're incredibly good. And since I'm such a good friend to you all strangers here is a small but curated selection:
1. Streets of Rage 2
A game that can be completed in a few hours, as I have done almost accidentally around a friends house once. This game was one of the first ever beat 'em up I ever played and the one that stands out to me the most when the genre is mentioned. Sure there is Double Dragon which I also enjoyed (which can also be played here), but Streets of Rage 2 stands out. Plus it taught me that eating a whole chicken I found in the garbage will heal me.
Doctors hate it, I love it. Streets of Rage 2 can be found with this emulator here. Coincidentally, by following that link you may lose your entire afternoon.
2. Tomb Raider
Okay, okay, I'm cheating a little bit here. This is not the full version of the '96 version of Tomb Raider. It is just level two that is available right now but this is a slightly more advanced game than others on this list and with it being on a browser we'll take what we can! With it being just the one level it will enable you to get a nostalgia hit and an idea of whether you want to jump straight back into a classic Tomb Raider game.
The game can be found here. Just a heads up there are Wolves, I was startled.
3. Sonic the Hedgehog
A classic that needs no introduction. So here it is. A game I remember being introduced to very early, the game was as infuriating then as it is now, but it's still so satisfying to beat. Many a bad version from this series has varnished the reputation of Sonic, but the first and the follow-up (which can be found here) are undoubtedly classics.
So what you waiting for? Go spin round a bit and go fast.
The above three are either obtained via the impressive collection that Archive.org has put together via their Console Living Room or their Internet Arcade or in the case of Tomb Raider, through an online project. Other classic games are available through Archive.org such as Mortal Kombat, Prince of Persia, Sensible Soccer. The reason I mention this place, in particular, is because I did have two further games added to this list. These games were Nintendo's 1984 Golf game named simply "Golf" and Nintendo's 1990 Football Game "Nintendo World Cup". Both of these games are classics (but only one is available on the virtual console – Golf costing £2.69), however, they are only available through online emulators and not a source such as Archive.org. Now, these games and many, many, many (many) others are available out there through multiple browser based emulators, but I ultimately decided to leave the choice to check them out up to you. Ultimately, it is your call, but the law around it is tricky and Nintendo is Nintendo so here we are.
The above does beg the question in my mind: When a game is inaccessible via reasonable technological means (say in the case of "Nintendo World Cup" which run on the NES & original Game Boy), and are not replicated for a new console (as Nintendo have done for "Golf" on the virtual console), is it morally okay to emulate without a copy?
Legally, the above is pretty black and white, but artistically and morally I believe this to be slightly more grey. Artistically, will the original creators want their work to fade into non-existence due to a corporation neglecting the property? Morally, is it okay that people will miss out on games because the hardware for them is hard to obtain?
Anyway, I'd like to know what you guys think and apologize for the ramble!
As a way to compensate you for having to cut out the extra game suggestions and for adding a ramble here is a really strange website I came across. I don't know what it is, but the colours remind me of the internet of the early 00's and that is surely a good thing. Also, I just wasted a good 10-20 minutes scrolling through it and ultimately, that is the spirit of what I was trying to write here – a way to kill some time.

ListAppy 2.0 Released
(Sep 8, 2010)
Listening to user feedback, we have made significant improvements to both functionality and interface in the latest version of ListAppy.
Given the support for nested lists, when looking at tasks and lists from calendar or search view it was getting difficult to understand the context. This release addresses this by listing the parent hierarchy along with the title of the task or list.
In the same vein, ListAppy 2.0 also provides a way to hide completed items in addition to deleting or moving them to the end of the list. More importantly, this option is configurable for individual lists. For instance, you may want to tail your grocery items list, you may choose to delete or hide recurring items in a work list. Hide offers the ability to archive completed tasks easily. We have also added a double badge to indicate a count of todo tasks and lists separately.
Another useful feature is ability to detect links in notes. Notes of task or todo item can now hold a phone number or URL or email id that can be clicked on to take the appropriate action right from the app.
Besides useful functionality, we have also added exciting color themes to complement the plain background colors.
Note that some of our iOS 4 customers let us know they were experiencing a crash when selecting lists with recurring items, this problem was quickly identified and is fixed in this release.
Overall, we have listened to our customers and delivered on the promise of excellent customer service with this release. We look forward to adding more useful and relevant features to ListAppy to make it the best task management application at your desk or on the go! We are eager for your verdict on this release., stop by our support forum and let us know.
iPhone App ListAppy 1.2 Released Today
(July 14, 2010)
We are super excited about this release.In a sense this release completes the basic functionality you will expect out of a Task List Management App – Task Alerts.
Prior to iOS 4, Apple had made it difficult to support alerts. Thanks to the multitasking support and local notifications features, we no longer need to send your tasks to a remote web service which in turn will ask Apple servers to send you an alert notification. Now your phone running iOS 4 can handle notifications locally all by itself.
If your phone is multitasking capable, ListAppy will ease into background when closed and you can fast switch back to the App by just tapping on ListAppy instead of launching fresh every time. This is the equivalent of minimizing a window and returning to the the window in desktop computers.
With recurrence and reminders out of the way, we are eager to bring you additional functionally useful features. Have your say at our support page.
iPhone App ListAppy 1.1 Released Today
(June 1, 2010)
Following the release of desktop version, Samura Solutions is pleased to announce the release of ListAppy 1.1 for iPhone. ListAppy 1.1 supports repeating tasks and lists and also ability to duplicate a list easily. Given how hard it is to type on the iPhone, the duplication feature will come in handy when you want to create new lists from templates.
To give you an example, if you want to create checklist for handling every customer request, just create a template and use this to create copies whenever a new customer request comes in. Not everyone will need this feature but it's there if you need it.
Repeating tasks on both the iPhone App and the desktop app was an interesting challenge. Especially to make sure when you Sync there are no duplicates created. If you have tasks or even entire lists that you repeat, set up recurring task or list on either the iPhone App or the Desktop App and keep them in Sync.
We are continuously working on new features and improvements and your input is key to providing the best task management application on desktop and iPhone platforms.
DeskListAppy 1.1 Released – Rich in Features!
(May 31, 2010)
We are excited to bring you a major upgrade to DeskListAppy. The companion iPhone and iPod Touch ListAppy 1.1 is still under review at Apple but we didn't want to wait to bring you this fun and exciting new release.
This release provides all the basic functionality you will expect out of a Task List management application and some more. One of the limitations of web based task list management applications and even several desktop applications is the lack of a Pop-up reminder for your tasks. I discussed this in a previous blog. This release addresses that with alerts, and yeah they can be turned off/on. You can setup recurring tasks and lists, reminders to alert you of upcoming items.
To make navigating the hierarchical nested lists easy, this version brings you browser like left, right navigation to view the previously viewed lists and get back to where you were. Also navigation button to view the parent of the current list is useful to check the properties of the current list. To make it really simple to create new items and lists from anywhere in the application CTRL+L, CTRL+I or CTRL+T keyboard shortcuts do the job. A number of other useful keyboard shortcuts are available in this release.
Finally, the coolest feature in this release is the ability to drag and drop tasks and lists to move them. Dragging and dropping items on scheduled lists such as Today, Upcoming and Overdue also have their special intuitive behavior. We have tried to bring you not only a cross-platform solution but also a Multilingual one. We appreciate any help to improve localizations and add support for new languages.
We want to thank our version 1.0, early adopter users for all their feedback, praise and suggestions. We work for our customers and our product development is driven by your input. So do visit our support forums and engage with us. If you are a current DeskListAppy user, you should receive your free upgrade code in a day or so!
Mac or PC Task Manager with Alert
Day 7
There are several task managers for Windows and Mac, some of these are quite expensive. About 4x to 5x the price of DeskListAppy. We don't get it, task management does not have to be this expensive. I agree that some of these applications have really pleasing user interface but the same can not be said when it comes to user experience and functionality . Our goal is to provide you with the best task management application. We are working hard and fast to get there and really want to hear from you – The Early Adopters and Task Masters!
Let me get straight to the point. How many Task management applications out there support something as simple as alerting or reminding the user when a task is due based on pre-set reminders? We are tempted to think of this as minimal functionality that every paid todo or task list management applications must have. To our dismay, we did not find this in most popular task management applications. Alerts can be nagging but what if you have an easy option to turn them off!
We are enhancing our desktop application with just that – awesome alerts. Set your due date and time and ask to be reminded with a pop-up on your desktop, any time from 10 minutes to 3 days ahead!! Now, show me a Web based task management application can do that! It is for things like this that we created a desktop application for managing task lists.
The task reminder functionality will be available in the next release of the PC and Mac versions. Also in works, multi-language support. Yes, we plan to support Task Management in German, Spanish, Italian, French, Japanese and English. This will allow our iPhone App users to Sync their task lists and manage them right from their PC or Mac.
Your language missing, don't be left out, post a comment now!

Democrats are hoping to cut into the record Republican Statehouse majorities this year, as all 99 House districts and 17 of 33 Senate seats are up for election.
Republicans control the House 66-33 and the Senate 24-9.
>>Use our interactive Voter's Guide to plan your ballot
Here's a look at 22 legislative races to watch this year.
Tier 1 represents districts where the challenging party has a solid chance to flip the seat; those in Tier 2 are expected to be competitive, with the party in control as a slight favorite; and those in Tier 3 are favored to remain with the party that holds them but could flip under unusual circumstances.
Tier 1
19th House District. Gahanna, New Albany, Westerville. Open seat (Rep. Anne Gonzales, R)
One of three Republican-held suburban districts in Franklin County that Democrats think they can flip. Democrats had no success against Gonzales, who is now term-limited and running for the Senate, but hopes rise in an open district that Hillary Clinton won by nearly 10 points in 2016. In common precincts shared by the 12th Congressional District, Democrat Danny O'Connor got 57 percent here in his August special election.
Democrats are banking on Mary Lightbody, a long-time educator. Republican Tim Barhorst, an insurance agent, is flush with money thanks to his alliance with Rep. Larry Householder, who is in a fight to become the next House speaker. Democrats have repeatedly underperformed here, failing to get within 12 points over the past three elections, but polling is reportedly in their favor this year.
21st House District. Dublin, Worthington. Open seat (Rep. Mike Duffey, R)
Another Republican Franklin County suburban seat without an incumbent, Clinton won here by 13 points. In August, O'Connor won a whopping 62 percent of the vote in precincts that overlap this district. Democrats have talked about flipping this seat for years, but after repeated misfires (and term-limited Duffey's popularity), if the suburbs really are trending away from Republicans and President Donald Trump, it should show up here.
Democrats have a top-notch candidate, Dr. Beth Liston, an internal medicine and pediatric physician. Republicans have a solid candidate of their own, Stu Harris, an attorney and a long-time member of the Dublin Board of Education who, in the age of Trump, is pushing a message of civility.
24th House District. Upper Arlington, part of Hilliard, Pleasant Township. Open seat (Rep. Jim Hughes, R)
When Hughes, a tough campaigner with a well-known name, decided to run for common pleas judge, Democrats saw their chance to pick up this odd-shaped district that Clinton won by 10 points. The race features a pair of candidates with deep roots in policy development, Democrat Allison Russo, policy research director for a health policy consulting firm, and Republican Erik Yassenoff, a former policy adviser in the Kasich administration.
This is likely the Republicans' best chance to hold a Tier 1 seat, but it won't be easy. Some Democrats doubt there will be a split in Franklin County — either they will win all three of these county seats, or lose all three.
37th House District. Akron suburbs. Open seat (Rep. Kristina Roegner, R)
This race was teetering between tiers 1 and 2, but its spot solidified in September when Republican Mike Rasor, an attorney and Stow councilman, was slapped by a federal judge with a heavy fine for unethical behavior in a case where he defended a crooked businessman. Rasor's Republican primary opponent also decided to endorse Democrat Casey Weinstein, a Hudson councilman. Weinstein lost by 15 points two years ago, but that was against an incumbent. Clinton won here by 1 point. Roegner is running for the state Senate.
43rd House District. Suburban Dayton, Preble County. Rep. Todd Smith, R.
This district, a unique mix of urban, suburban and rural areas, is considered the Democrats' best pickup opportunity. Smith, a pastor at The Church of Farmersville for 21 years, doesn't worry Democrats nearly as much as the man he was appointed in July to replace, Jeff Rezabek, who was named to a judicial seat. Democrat Dan Foley, a Montgomery County commissioner, has won two elections and is favored to make this a third.
Tier 2
5th Senate District. Most of Dayton, three surrounding counties. Open seat (Sen. Bill Beagle, R)
One of the Senate Democrats' two decent pickup chances, Rep. Stephen Huffman, R-Tipp City, wants to swap chambers and join his cousin, Sen. Matt Huffman, R-Lima. But first he'll have to battle the Dayton Democratic machine that is backing Paul Bradley of Dayton, a former regional representative for U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown. Republicans have plenty of money to mount a defense, but Democrats are counting on an enthusiasm boost in Dayton and the suburbs. Trump won here by 5.5 points. Beagle is term-limited.
6th House District. Cleveland suburbs. Open seat (Rep. Marlene Anielski, R)
As with other suburban districts, Democrats like their chances here, where Clinton won by 2 points. Democrat Phil Robinson of Solon, a vice president with City Year, is back for another run after taking a 22-point shellacking in 2016. But that was against an incumbent in a tough year, and Republicans spent plenty to hold it.
Now Robinson faces Jim Trakas of Independence, who is no slouch either as a former lawmaker and former Cuyahoga County GOP chairman who should be well-financed through his association with Householder. Trakas carries a lot of ECOT baggage (he worked for the now-closed online school being sued for tens of millions of dollars). Will Democrats have the money to capitalize? Or will it matter? Reportedly 4,000 more Democrats here requested absentee ballots than Republicans, the widest margin in the state. Anielski is term-limited.
19th Senate District. Delaware and Knox counties, part of northern Columbus. Open seat (Sen. Kris Jordan, R)
Traditionally, Senate Republicans wouldn't worry about a district that includes Delaware and Knox counties. But times have changed. Republicans may very well utilize their enormous fund-raising advantage to save this seat. But Democrats have a real shot at a flip, thanks to a few factors: This is probably the Senate Democrats' best challenging candidate, signs of weakening GOP dominance in southern Delaware County, and an expected major turnout effort in Franklin County.
Democrat Louise Valentine, a consumer analyst for L Brands, is battling Rep. Andrew Brenner, R-Powell, a well-known name but not the most well-liked personality. Valentine has worked to tie Brenner to the ECOT scandal. Senate Democrats have not won a Republican-held seat since 2006. Jordan is running for the House.
28th House District. Suburban Cincinnati. Rep. Jonathan Dever, R.
This is a rematch of 2016, where Dever defeated Democrat Jessica Miranda by 15 points. So why is this race on the list? The Democrats' new favorite word: suburbs. Democrats lost this seat in 2014, but they think it's trending back in their direction. Obama lost the district by 3 points, but Clinton won it by 4 points in 2016. Miranda reportedly is more energized and polished this time around, but she's running against a well-known incumbent, Dever, an active lawmaker who will be tough to beat.
33rd Senate District. Mahoning and Columbiana counties. Open seat (Sen. Joe Schiavoni, D)
Is it possible Senate Democrats could drop another seat? Well, yes. Two years ago, Sen. Lou Gentile, a well-liked Democratic lawmaker, outperformed Clinton in his eastern Ohio district by 15 points – and still lost by 5 points. Now in this adjoining district to the north, Senate Republicans will utilize their fund-raising advantage to try to do it again.
Both sides are running candidates with good names – Rep. John Boccieri, D-Poland, is a former congressman who has been on the ballot numerous times and is a decent fund-raiser. Republican Michael Rulli's family owns a pair of popular local grocery stores. Will this Youngstown-area district be the one Trump won by 10 points, or the one Obama won by 17? If Republicans flood this district with ads in the final two weeks, it's a sign of how they think the numbers look.
Tier 3
3rd Senate District. Eastern Franklin County. Open seat (Sen. Kevin Bacon, R)
This should be a Tier 1 district. Senate Republicans are spending a lot of money to defend against a Democratic candidate who is barely campaigning. Why? Because if they don't, polls say they probably lose. Franklin County is becoming nightmare territory for Republicans, and this should easily be the Democrats' best chance to flip a seat. But their preferred candidate failed to make the ballot for the second election in a row. Instead they got Tina Maharath, a political newcomer with enough personal baggage to fill multiple GOP attack ads. Her opponent, four-term Rep. Anne Gonzales, R-Westerville, wants to swap chambers. Bacon is term-limited and lost a GOP congressional primary.
13th Senate District. Huron and Lorain counties. Open seat (Sen. Gayle Manning, R)
Mother and son are looking to swap seats here, with Gayle Manning trying to prolong her legislative career in the House, while Rep. Nathan Manning looks to move to her Senate seat. Democrats like their candidate, Realtor Sharon Sweda, and they're working to tie Manning to the circumstances surrounding the FBI investigation into former Speaker Cliff Rosenberger. If there really is a blue wave, perhaps this seat flips. But it's tough to overcome a well-known Manning name and a massive GOP fund-raising advantage.
20th House District. Canal Winchester, Groveport, Obetz. Rep. Richard Brown, D
A "white whale" district for Republicans, this was the closest House race in the state two years ago, when Heather Bishoff won by 7 points. But Bishoff stepped down five months later, and now Brown will make his first appearance on a ballot. Democrats have unsuccessfully tried to get his GOP opponent, Pastor Bobby Mitchell, off the ballot, arguing he doesn't live in the district. Not a likely flip, but Republicans with an energetic candidate and some spare cash could put a scare into the Democrats here.
27th House District. Suburban Cincinnati. Rep. Tom Brinkman, R
Most years, this district wouldn't be near this list. Brinkman, a veteran lawmaker in his second Statehouse tour of duty, won by 29 points in 2016 and 35 points in 2014. Nearly every election produces a surprise in one legislative seat, and if Trump really is causing educated suburban voters to turn away from Republicans, this, as the second most-educated district in the state, is one to watch. Brinkman is being challenged by Democrat Christine Fisher, a finance manager with Procter & Gamble.
36th House District. Suburban Akron. Rep. Anthony DeVitis, R
Another suburban district that Republicans need to pay attention to, and one Democrats have had their eye on for years. Trump won here by more than 7 points, though Obama won by 4 in 2012. DeVitis is favored, but Democratic attorney Timothy Piatt should make it competitive, though he may suffer from a common Democratic theme: lack of money.
55th House District. Part of Lorain County. Open seat (Rep. Nathan Manning, R)
The other half of the mother-son chamber swap, Sen. Gayle Manning, R-North Ridgeville, wants to move to the House. Democrat Kelly Kraus of Elyria lost by 21 points to Nathan Manning in 2016, but Trump won here by just 3 points and Obama won this district by 9 in 2012. Shifting winds may move a district like this, but Democrats may not have the resources to overcome the Manning name. A Libertarian in the race also could shake things up a bit.
59th House District. Much of Mahoning County. Open seat (Rep. John Boccieri, D)
Once a steadfast Democratic labor-heavy area, Trump won this district by 18 points. If Republicans weren't forced to spend their money playing so much defense this year, this would be a Tier 2 race. As it stands, Democrat Eric Ungaro, a well-known name in Youngstown politics, is taking on Republican Don Manning, a New Middletown councilman, who lost to Boccieri by 17 points in 2016.
67th House District. Part of Delaware County. Open seat (Rep. Andrew Brenner, R)
Sen. Kris Jordan, R-Ostrander, wants to switch chambers, and in the midst of his campaign has had to weather bad press relating to his marriage/divorce. Jordan is well known, but Democrats hope Cory Hoffman, an attorney from Delaware, can pull off a surprise here.
75th House District. Most of Portage County. Open seat (Rep. Kathleen Clyde, D)
As an open seat that Trump won by nearly 5 points, this is one of the few House Republican flip opportunities. Republican Jim Lutz, a technology administrator, is taking on Democrat Randi Clites, a public health advocate. Lutz has raised little money, but if the Republican caucus finds some extra cash lying around, maybe they see an outside shot here. Clyde is running for secretary of state.
88th House District. Sandusky and Seneca counties. Rep. Bill Reineke, R
No legislative candidate in the state has had more national attention than Democrat Rachel Crooks of Tiffin, who accused President Donald Trump of grabbing her and forcibly kissing her outside an elevator in Trump Tower in 2005, where she was a receptionist. She has been a regular on cable news and a frequent subject of print stories. But the Reineke name is golden in this region (auto dealerships). And regardless of who accused him of sexual misconduct, Trump won here by 26 points, and this district has been red for two decades.
89th House District. Ottawa and Erie counties. Rep. Steve Arndt, R
This started as a Tier 2 seat, and Democrats had high hopes of flipping a district they held for years until 2014. Democrat Joe Helle, an Army veteran, started out gaining attention for challenging the state's purging of voter rolls. Those hopes have faded as news about Helle's background has surfaced, including his tumultuous tenure as a local police officer and his sudden resignation as mayor of Oak Harbor. Republicans have pounced with an attack ad. Arndt has proven popular here, one of the traditionally Democratic areas of Ohio that flipped heavily toward Trump in 2016.
92nd House District. Fayette, parts of Pickaway and Ross counties. Rep. Gary Scherer, R
Trump won huge here, and there's nothing in particular that makes Scherer, a CPA, seem beatable. But multiple sources have mentioned this district with a version of "something is happening here," and Republicans are putting significant resources into defending the seat. Democrat Beth Workman, a well-spoken teacher, is trying to pull an upset here.
94th House District. Athens and parts of 3 other counties. Rep. Jay Edwards, R
Edwards flipped this eastern-Ohio district in 2016 as the normally Democratic-leaning region turned heavily toward Trump. In a battle of young guns — they are a combined 56 years old — Democrats hope that dissatisfaction with the president will depress turnout outside of Athens and benefit Taylor Sappington, a Nelsonville councilman. Edwards, an Ohio University grad, has been an active lawmaker who likely can hold down the deficit margin in Athens better than most Republicans.

Who would have thought that a little hormone called oestrogen would be responsible for so much grief in the female psyche. Those wasted hours dreaming of smaller thighs and butt, excessive pounding the pavement in the quest for terminating that stubborn fat. What if I was to tell you there is an easier way?
We can start to manipulate this hormone by implementing some simple everyday habits to help fight thunder thighs and tuck-shop arms and the best thing is it doesn't require excessive exercise or strict diets. Not to mention the research showing a link to excess oestrogen in the body and an increased risk of breast cancer.
It must be remembered that the hormone oestrogen when secreted by the ovaries is healthy and part of a healthy reproductive system. We need it to be fertile, grow breast tissue and have healthy skin, hair and nails. The issue is that chemical xenoestogens which include things like heavy metals and pesticides imitate and mimic oestrogen. If our body is exposed to too much of these synthetic oestrogens the body can produce excessive amounts. They latch onto or bind to existing oestrogens receptors in the body which is when we run into a whole host of symptoms including;
Stubborn body fat/ weight gain
Mood swings
Heavy menstrual flow and cramping
Low libido
Hair loss and dry skin
These nasty oestrogen mimickers are also responsible for oestrogen dominance in males which is a growing concern for it increases mammary tissue cells better known as "man boobs" and can also see symptoms like hair loss and depression. Because there are a lot of oestrogen receptor sites in the lower half of the body people with oestrogen dominance (which is 90% of the people I see for consulting) tend to hold fat around the legs and gluteal or buttock fold.
So what can we do to combat these fake hormones ruling our bodies? Three simple things we can do immediately with not much effort is avoid what I call the three Ps…
The Three Ps
Plastics – BPA Free plastics have become a big trend now that they are linking these chemicals to oestrogen dominance however what should be noted here is that every time we heat plastic including leaving it in the sun even putting it through the dishwasher or microwaving food increases plastics toxicity and its contents. Choose BPA free but keep them out of the sun or heat and where possible choose glass or porcelain containers.
Pesticides – Going organic is the only way to avoid consuming pesticides however they are expensive. Go organic where possible and wash your food thoroughly in water before cooking. Unfortunately Australia is one of the biggest culprits of pesticide use due to difficult farming land and growth for a variety of fruits and vegetables.
Cutting out genetically modified organisms (GMOs), like soy, can help greatly lower the amount of fake oestrogens that enter the body also. Remember soy can be added to sauces, tinned products and flavored drinks so always read your food labels. A great book called The Whole Soy Story, By Dr Kaayla Daniel I would recommend to anyone wanting more info on this topic.
Parabens – Parabens are a heavy metal used in beauty products including hair, fake tan, perfume and make -up, they are used in most well-known products and when put on the skin absorb straight into the blood stream causing these nasty xenoestrogens to wreak havoc on our hormones. Check your products and if the word paraben is present I would be throwing it in the bin….sorry ladies. Go to the Environmental Working Group at www.ewg.org to see if your products pass the test and what products are recommended.
How do we get rid of existing Oestrogen in the body?
Two people have the same exposure to Xenoestrogens then how can one person be lean and have no health repercussions and the other heavy metal toxicity and have endless trouble leaning out their stubborn areas?
It basically comes done to who the better detoxifier is. In simpler terms, the better a person's ability to get rid of these fake oestrogens are, the less likely they are to store fat.
So the number one question is….how do I become a better detoxifier? I break it down into two main processes or phases.
1. The body inhales, consumes or absorbs the toxin which goes to kidneys and liver for processing and elimination
2. The last phase is to the Gastrointestinal Tract where it gets excreted
All three of these important organs should be working perfectly for proper detoxification however a lot of us have a sluggish liver, kidneys and other GI tract issues that need to be addressed first before we see those stubborn areas of fat move.
In five easy steps here's what you will do to help rid your body of harmful oestrogens;
1. Support the GI tract by taking a probiotic and digest support or HCL – This will help excrete oestogens from the intestine.
2. Take pharmaceutical grade multi-vitamin containing Zinc and B-vitamins – these will help metabolise foreign oestogen from the body particularly the liver and kidneys
3. Make sure you are absorbing folic acid (B-vitamins) a quick test, although not as accurate as a proper lab test, is to perform the asparagus test. If your urine smells strong and repugnant chances are you have a gene that will inhibit you processing B-vitamins which is essential for detoxification. If this is the case a supplement to assist B-vitamin absorption could be needed to help this vital detoxification process. You can read more here.
4. Take Flaxseed lignans , this is a good plant based oestrogen that helps by binding to oestrogen receptor sites before the nasty ones get there and can help inhibit further production.
5. Choose cruciferous veggies containing sulforaphane and indoles. Things like kale, brussel sprouts, spinach and cabbage are all great veggies that will help speed up detoxification process.
This combined with regular exercise and avoiding toxicity where possible will really help you lean out those areas, that in the past, nothing has made the fat budge.
Having worked with a lot of fitness models, actors and catwalk models it is necessary to be lean in all areas. After eating well, exercising and still not seeing results doing a more aggressive oestrogen detox is possible but you need to get the basics right above first before you spend your hard earned money on a full detox.
Are your hormones making you fat? I hope this article has helped people recognise that diet and exercise alone is not always the best remedy for fat loss. If the body is toxic and has excessive oestrogen it will be almost impossible to get the results you want. Start by addressing the above issues in conjunction with regular exercise and healthy eating and you will be on the road to fat-burning success!

The Swiss watch brand is maintaining its momentum in the Principality. Before honouring its role as the Official Watch of Scuderia Ferrari during the forthcoming F1 Grand Prix, yesterday evening saw Hublot opening its new boutique in Monaco, at a prestigious location within the legendary Casino building.
In the ideal setting of the Allée François Blanc, on the Place du Casino, the new Hublot boutique replaces the former premises based at 2 Avenue Princesse Alice. Close to the quays and jetties, this new site also flanks the route of the 77th Grand Prix, and naturally, played host to local talent Charles Leclerc during its inauguration. Supported – like his team-mate Sébastian Vettel – by Hublot, the Scuderia Ferrari driver cut the ribbon alongside the brand's CEO Ricardo Guadalupe to mark the official opening.
A sublime expression of the brand's signature codes, the boutique takes Hublot's new architectural concept and makes it its own, within one of the Principality's most iconic buildings. Mirrors, glass, marble and metal combine to create a harmonious showcase with urban accents. Set over 40 square metres, the soft light and generous furnishings ensure the new Hublot Monaco boutique is warm and welcoming: the perfect surroundings for its customers! Combining luxury with contemporary, this boutique embodies the famous Hublot maxim, the "Art of Fusion". This philosophy not only enables the brand to switch from marble to metal, but also from Formula 1 to the beautiful game, since Hublot is also the Official Timekeeper for the World Stars Monaco Football Match which took place yesterday at the Stade Louis II, attended by HSH Prince Albert II.
To celebrate ninety years both of Ferrari and since the Monaco Grand Prix was first raced in 1929, Hublot, a long-standing partner of Scuderia Ferrari, has created the Big Bang Scuderia Ferrari 90th Anniversary. This model reflects the richness of Scuderia Ferrari's history and heritage. It is available in three limited editions, designed in collaboration with the Prancing Horse brand's own Design Centre. These pieces echo the evolution of the materials used in motor racing over the years. Each of the versions has a diameter of 45 mm, enabling the UNICO manufacture movement to be housed; this flyback chronograph offers a power reserve of 72 hours. The bezel is cut from ceramic carbon, the material used in Formula 1 for the brake discs.

Seth Robinson was born in Seattle, Washington, in the same year as Nirvana's Nevermind. At age four, his family moved to Australia, beginning a short nomadic stint that planted a third-culture kid seed of identity in their eldest son, and would eventually see them end up in Canberra. The next move came much later, as an adult, when Seth relocated to Melbourne for post-grad study. Melbourne has seduced him completely, and he's dangerously close to fully descending into the inferno of hipsterdom.
Seth's first writing job was as a freelance music journalist. These pieces can be found if you scour the far reaches of the internet, but the real perks for this gig came in the form of free tickets and early album streams. Free things have been a major feature of Seth's career to date. Previous jobs include working for the local radio station, where he drove the prize truck, and a stint as a projectionist, where he indulged in lots of free movies.
Now, Seth works as a writer and Content Producer for the University of Melbourne. You can see some of this 9-5 work on their Newsroom. By night, he finds time for creative work in between Netflix binges, reading time, and trips to gigs/the movies (which he regretfully now pays for).
His debut novel, Welcome to Bellevue, is out now from Grattan Street Press.

I'm trying to play Frets on Fire using my PS3 Guitar Hero III controller. It works right away, but it's also controlling the cursor as if it's a mouse. I'd like to play the game windowed, but that's impossible because the controller would move the cursor and unfocus the game window.
One idea I had is to direct the input to one application only, so only the game window will accept input from the guitar. I could not find such an option so far. But I'm not very familiar with Xorg, so I might have missed something.
If there's such an option, or if someone comes up with a better idea, it would be of great help to me.

Morning Fizz: Oblivious Tweets
Caffeinated News & Gossip featuring the clueless mainstream media on twitter.
1. Mayor Ed Murray will announce his pick for the new Seattle police chief today at 10AM.
Former Boston Police Commissioner Kathleen O'Toole is one of the candidates.
2. Macklemore performed at EMP on Friday night in a costume—long nose, long beard—that cued up basic anti-Semitic stereotypes.
Almost worse, the oblivious Seattle Times tweeted pictures of Macklemore as Shylock/Fagin without comment: "Macklemore showed up in disguise at EMP's opening-night party for Spectacle exhibit."
But Buzzfeed (and Seth Rogan) busted him.
And rightfully so. A little historical context.
3. Speaking of oblivious tweets from the mainstream media, here's what KING 5 had to say about "Bike to Work Day" on Friday:
"Bicycles are hitting Seattle streets in force this morning for Bike to Work Day. Check out KING 5 Morning News for tips on avoiding the added congestion."
4. In case you missed it on Friday afternoon, we had the news that the GOP did eventually find a candidate to run for state Sen. Rodney Tom's seat. (Tom, the leader of the Republican-dominated Majority Coalition Caucus, announced after this year's legislative session that he wasn't running for reelection.)
We have a brief interview with the newcomer candidate, Michelle Darnell, here.
Brainy state Rep. Cyrus Habib (D-48, Kirkland) is also running for the seat.

Animated commercial for the 'Heavenly Post Office'.
The H.P.O. (which stands for Heavenly Post Office) was one of two films that the German silhouette animator Lotte Reiniger made for the GPO Film Unit shortly after leaving Nazi Germany with her husband Carl Koch. Unlike the much more characteristic fairytale narrative The Tocher (also 1938), this consists of a series of brief vignettes, all with the aim of promoting the GPO's greetings telegram service.
This is embodied here by three angels: a postman, a typist and a supervisor (who scrutinises the others and what's happening on the ground through a telescope). While the humans and animals are presented in Reiniger's familiar silhouette style, the angels are presented as white sketched outlines, the sky and clouds clearly visible behind them. Individual freeze-frames make the heavenly sequences look deceptively similar to Norman McLaren's virtuoso Love on the Wing (also made for the GPO that same year), but Reiniger's technique is quite different: the angels are also cut-outs, albeit involving transparent material edged in white.
If the film is ultimately less satisfying than either The Tocher or Love on the Wing, this is because Reiniger has conscientiously put the message ahead of the art: by the end of the film, only the dimmest viewer will be unaware of what is being promoted, since the motif of receiving a greetings telegram is shown so many times. That said, the angels are charming creations, and the scenes with the stork (discovering a human baby on a water-lily pad) and the fox have all the magical atmosphere of Reiniger's other fairytale creations.
The twinkling, flute-dominated score was by Brian Easdale, then a recent graduate of the Royal College of Music who gained his first professional film-music commissions with the GPO Film Unit. A decade later he would win an Oscar for his original score for The Red Shoes (d. Michael Powell, Emeric Pressburger, 1948).

Dropping FuelBand would be 'a smart move' for Nike
Nike's rumoured move away from wearable technology and its FuelBand device would be 'a smart move', say commentators.
Nike is making redundancies in its Digital Sport team and is reported to be moving focus away from its FuelBand product, concentrating instead on app development and new partnerships.
Nike told Design Week, 'The Nike+ FuelBand SE remains an important part of our business. We will continue to improve the Nike+ FuelBand App, launch new METALUXE colors, and we will sell and support the Nike+ FuelBand SE for the foreseeable future.' The company said it was making 'a small number of layoffs' in its Digital Sport team.
Poke London creative director Nik Roope believes any refocus away from hardware could be a shrewd move on the part of Nike.
Roope says, 'Hardware is hard; you're not just creating a one-off product you're creating a platform.'
While Roope recognises that the FuelBand story has been a huge breakthrough for wearable technology, he says, 'They don't need to own the hardware, so they've done the right thing.'
Instead, he says, Nike can add value by creating software for 'long-term common platforms', which he believes will be made by the likes of Apple and Samsung.
Roope says that if Nike does move away from hardware it may put off other sports, lifestyle and fashion brands from experimenting with wearable tech.
'Why build a proprietary platform when the user can benefit more from a series of universal apps than from apps made for a single device?' he says.
The Nike+ community currently has 20 million members. The company is developing a new Nike+ FuelLab in San Francisco, which it hopes will bring another 100 million members and will develop partnerships and products with NikeFuel.
Kin Design partner Matt Wade agrees with Roope that Nike might benefit more from universal apps than a single platform. He says, 'I think FuelLab is much more interesting that the FuelBand itself, and maybe they need to publicly kill off the product to empower people to invent the next generation of Nike experiences.'
Wade adds, 'I didn't think they'd be ready to think of themselves as so open. It's smart – moving it from a product to a system – and they could own the sports and fitness technology space.'

BY Jessica McKenzie | Monday, July 1 2013
A mobile health initiative meant to encourage safe sex practices in Uganda failed to effect positive change. In fact, researchers found it made the community, on average, even more promiscuous.
The study 'Mixed Method Evaluation of a Passive mHealth Sexual Information Texting Service in Uganda' was conducted by Innovations for Poverty Action researchers Julian Jamison, Dean Karlan and Pia Raffler, with funding from Google.org and Google.com.
The mHealth initiative, a collaboration between Google, the Grameen Technology Center and the primary mobile service provider in Uganda, MTN, is an information service called 6001, the phone number employed by the service. Users could text questions in either English or the local language Luganda and receive responses retrieved through a key word-based algorithm.
This is an example of a passive mHealth initiative, in which targeted users must reach out and engage with the available material. An active mHealth initiative would be more like a public service announcement: information distributed widely and without prompting.
In a passive initiative, one challenge is making potential users aware of and interested in a particular service. The villages targeted for the initiative were visited up to six times by marketing teams promoting the 6001 service. These visits were supplemented by flyers and posters. The marketing campaign lasted three months. However, these efforts might not have been sufficient. Many potential users reported in interviews that once the marketing campaign ceased, they forgot all about the service.
With passive initiatives like this, one also has to assume users will ask the questions they need to ask or they will still not receive the information they need. "In our setting, individuals must first choose whether to access the service, and then what to ask, and finally what (if anything) to do with the information received."
Compounding the problem, the algorithm in Luganda was less successful and accurate than the English language algorithm. Respondents reported getting inappropriate responses to the questions. When users shared their negative experiences with others, it reinforced the idea that 6001 was not a good service and people stopped using it.
Even where the service succeeded at awareness building, it could not empower users to act on that information. Some Ugandan women reported having problems standing up to their partners and demanding safe sex.
One woman told her interviewer:
You may tell him that lets start using condoms to protect ourselves, after getting advice from these messages, [...] because I am worried about our situation. He then asks why you are worried, how come: all along you had never gotten worried. When you tell him the source of the information, trouble then starts. For example saying that MTN does not live in my house so cannot decide for me what to or not to do.
Another reported that when she denied her husband sex, that he went and found it elsewhere, increasing the risk and promiscuity level of the community.
Another respondent questioned the usefulness of awareness when there are insufficient health services available: "Now, you have the information, and you are even told where to get further tests and treatment, but you don't have money for treatment, or even transport to the place you have been referred to: Now have you been helped at all?"
The researchers concluded that initiatives like this could possibly benefit from increased direct engagement.
We find that easing access to this information is not sufficient to induce safer behavior, and may directly or indirectly lead to riskier choices. It may be that only in the presence of a guiding hand, such as a local health worker, can this category of information improve outcomes, but our study does not vary that feature so we can only suggest this as a potentially important mechanism . . .it would be appropriate to learn from this study that the mere introduction of an information technology, designed by development experts, but left to individuals to self-direct in terms of their usage, does not necessarily lead to the socially desired impacts set out in the original intention of a program.
This is perhaps a lesson, also, that scare tactics aren't enough for everyone. The program might also benefit from some positive condom reinforcement, too.

[singlepic id=1068 w=320 h=240 float=left]Experiencing nearly back-to-back weekends of short course race action, it was easy for me to determine that off-road race fans have been starving for the action-packed, crash riddled mayhem notorious to this style of off-road racing. On the flight home to Phoenix I finally had time to reflect upon all the events that led up to the creation of two separate short course series and the potential success or failure of each of them.
After CORR's rather public undoing just prior to the last two races of the 2008 season, the sudden disappearance of short course created an enormous void in the hearts of the fans and left race teams and sponsors holding the bag. Well-intentioned sponsors and racers scrambled to fill the vacancy created by the sudden fall of the CORR Series. Rumors run rampant through the on-line forums and cloak and dagger meetings ensued amongst racers and sponsors who had an obvious financial interest in the future and success of short course racing.
While the exact details of the closed-door conferences have never been disclosed to me, the organization of two separate short course series speaks volumes of the outcome of said meetings. One known fact did surface. The racers banded together and formed the "Professional Drivers Group," (PDG) an association of desert and short course racers looking to provide "a unified voice in the decision making process of off-road racing series."
The formation of the PDG association was an understandable response to the equipment investment and unfulfilled sponsor contracts the various teams were on the hook for. While pledging a unified voice, the group worked feverishly to direct and assist with the creation of a short course series that would offer sponsors the most comprehensive and wide-reaching marketing program while providing race fans with the ultimate nation-wide off-road race experience.
Initial meetings detailed an allied series promoting expansive venues such as Wisconsin's historic Crandon Raceway and West coast venues such as Perris Auto Speedway in California. Somewhere along the course, discussions deteriorated amongst the participants and the two rivaling series emerged.
The Off Road Championship and the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series began to take shape and racers and sponsors alike were forced to choose. Lines were drawn in the sand and as Marty Fiolka pointed out in his editorial in the March/April issue of DirtSports, the creation of two short course series is reminiscent of the "split" between CART and IRL.
Wow, so much history to reflect upon during my oversold, cramped flight home. And to think, all this happened in just less than a year. What would the potential sponsors surmise about the soap opera playing out before the public eye? Would any marketing manager in their right mind step up to the plate and endorse a short course series – let alone two divergent ones in this volatile economic climate? Is there even enough sponsor money to go around?
After attending the first two rounds of the Lucas Oil Off Road Race Series, I boarded my flight to Dallas/Ft. Worth for the Traxxas TORC Series with an open mind. I figured at very minimum it would be interesting to compare the two. I had already gone a few rounds with the TORC and USAC media directors regarding credentials but I vowed to not let it leave a biased taste in my mouth. It would seem like a no-brainer to extend open arms to verified working media in order to promote and spread the word of a completely new series, but heck what do I know?
My experience at the first two LOORRS races was positive and the staff went out of their way to assist me with immediate results which helps immensely when under deadline. The fans seemed to be just as complimentary about the staff and the organization. Of course there were things that could have been improved and built upon after the initial race, but what event is ever completely seamless? I decided to give the Traxxas TORC Series the same benefit of the doubt.
Upon my arrival at the track it was strange to see the obvious lack of grassroots racers – love 'em or hate 'em, they are the heartbeat of the sport. Nothing but the big dogs in the Pro 4WD, Pro 2WD, and Pro Light trucks made the trek out to the Texas venue and due to a lack of entries, the Pro Super Buggy competition was cancelled.
In any case, it was awesome to see such an elite gathering of professional racers assembled at an extraordinary venue such as Texas Motor Speedway. Many of the teams have not raced together since the undoing of the CORR Series eight months prior and it was refreshing to see the reunion of the major players in the sport.
[singlepic id=1053 w=320 h=240 float=left] Strolling around the pits, I noticed something strange at the Coyne trailer. I walked over to talk to one of the pit guys and at the urging of the powers that be from Traxxas, Travis Coyne was asked to remove the bedside and hood decals of the RC-10 sponsor from his Pro 4WD or "pack up and go home." I think it goes without mentioning that it is extremely difficult to acquire, let alone maintain sponsors in the obscure off-road arena. After protesting the ultimatum handed down by the Traxxas brass and enforced by the TORC officials, Travis was presented with the difficult decision to leave or remove hismajor sponsor's decal.
In an apparent sign of protest, Coyne decided to make a statement while abiding by demands of the exclusive radio control sponsor and series officials. Travis and crew covered up the RC-10 sponsor identification with bright orangish-red "X's" that could be seen as far reaching as the sky view terrace above the luxury suites. Following suit in a show of support was Pro Light driver, Casey Currie.
While I believe it is admirable for Traxxas to step up to the plate as the title sponsor of the TORC Series through 2011 andsupport the PDG travel fund, I am not so sure I am sold on the idea of exclusive contracts that allow title sponsors the power to dictate racer endorsements. It would seem as though TORC is more concerned with their financial interests than the interests of the teams who have invested personal and sponsor funds – not to mention blood, sweat and tears into their race programs. Without the racers and their sponsors, there would be no show to attend. Without the influx of title sponsorship, the sanctions would not have the where-with-all to execute and promote races. Ah, what a double-edged sword.
In my not-so-humble opinion, exclusive title sponsorships allowing room for only one brand of toys in the sandbox harms the future and the growth of the sport. The short-sighted rush to gain a title sponsor allowed Traxxas the upper-hand to capture the monopoly and strong-arm TORC into the decision ultimately handed down to the Coyne crew.
It is no secret that competition creates a better product while exclusivity limits advancement and in this case alienates the racers and possible future sponsors. What happens when the Traxxas contract expires in 2011? Putting all the eggs in one basket and allowing title sponsors veto power is probably not the best example of a "unifying" force the TORC Series touts on their website.
The demands by Traxxas conjure up visions of previous sponsor disputes in the left turn racing league known as NASCAR. After the Cingular merger with AT&T, a Sprint Nextel clause in the NASCAR contract prevented Jeff Burton in the No. 31 Richard Childress Racing (RCR) Chevy from displaying the new AT&T logo. Claiming Cingular was grandfathered in; NASCAR would not allow the universally identifiable globe logo. Lawsuits ensued and ultimately RCR reached an agreement to run the AT&T logo for the remainder of 2008 with the promise of obtaining a new sponsor for the 2009 season.
I certainly hope this issue is discussed at the next PDG meeting and a reasonable solution is offered to Traxxas to address this situation. If the RC-10 sponsor agreement reads anything like I imagine it does – then Coyne could be liable for not displaying the logo in the agreed upon location, at the pre-determined races. No logo, no money, no Coyne. Simple as that. I believe it is safe to say that every racer from here on out will be a little gun-shy to actively seek sponsors in fear of having the rug pulled out from underneath them. Ironically, I would almost guess that RC-10 has received more press from this debacle than they would have had Traxxas decided to just leave the issue alone.
As far as the results, the racers put on quite a show, as was expected. The crowd was light Friday evening and despite the uncooperative weather the stands filled up to capacity for Saturday's bumper banging action.
[singlepic id=1054 w=320 h=240 float=right] Opening ceremonies for the inaugural Traxxas TORC Series kicked off and the Pro Light Trucks were the first class to take to the track. Marty Hart claimed the highest spot on the podium while Jeff Kincaid and Chad Hord rounded out the second and third positions, respectively. It was Kincaid in second place that claimed the "Oakley Bomb Award" for putting down the fastest lap time in his class. Saturday's round two of Pro Light action saw Casey Currie not just take the checkered flag for a strong first place finish – but he dominated the track and earned his first ever short course win. With a nearly half-lap lead over second place Kyle LeDuc and third place Chris Brandt, the No. 2 RC-10 sponsored truck of Currie's was flagged and sent directly to technical inspection at the commencement of the race. Finding no inconsistencies, Currie's astonishing win remained and he currently stands as the number one points leader in the Pro Light class. As with round one's action, it was the second place podium of Kyle LeDuc that claimed the "Oakley Bomb Award."
[singlepic id=1063 w=320 h=240 float=left] With an impressive field of 15 competitors, the Pro 2WD trucks showed up in full force and the first round of racing commenced with an all energy drink podium. Series co-owner, Ricky Johnson, in the No. 48 Red Bull sponsored Ford took home the biggest trophy and the "Oakley Bomb Award" for the fastest lap in Friday night's action. Rounding out the podium was second place AMA Supercross champion, Jeremy McGrath in the No. 2 Monster Energy sponsored Toyota and Todd LeDuc in the No. 3 Rockstar Energy Ford for third. Round two not only brought home the checkered flag for Scott Taylor, he also claimed the "Oakley Bomb Award." Ricky Johnson once again earned a spot on the podium but this time for a second place finish while Rob MacCachren in his No. 11 Rockstar Energy Ford rounded out the top three and claimed the "Oakley Bomb Award."
Not to be outdone, the Pro 4WD Truck Class brought the crowd to their feet as the fender banging fun of the 4×4 class wrapped up the action during rounds one and two of the debut TORC race. The energy was definitely flying high Friday night as the energy drink endorsed racers once again claimed all three spots on the Red Bull sponsored podium. Rick Huseman in his No. 37 Monster Energy Toyota struck gold while Rockstar's Curt LeDuc claimed the silver and Monster Energy's Johnny Greaves brought home the bronze during round one racing. Saturday brought a third lap red caution when Johnny Greaves suffered from a spectacular race-ending cartwheel on the front straight-away. Claiming back-to-back wins and securing a comfortable points lead, Rick Huseman once again took the checkered flag in first place while Scott Douglas claimed second and Kyle LeDuc earned the third place trophy.
Heading west for the next event, the Traxxas TORC Series will be held on May 29-20, 2009 at California's Perris Auto Speedway. Replays of the debut TORC Series race can be seen on the ESPN2 Network on May 24, 2009. Be sure to check local listings for broadcast!

The Summer gaming period is fast approaching and there are some new faces in amongst the usual smattering of old titles.
Red Faction: Guerrilla
The original Red Faction was one of the most interesting if not the best early release for the PlayStation 2, bringing in the first fully destructible environments in a First Person Shooter. This, the latest in the series, takes things away from dank space corridors and into wide open battle arenas, but again with a focus on big scale destruction and space bound madness.
The Sims 3
The thirds in this incredibly popular series which has in the past relied on user generated content to power and perpetuate its popularity. It's the ultimate life simulator, and you can control the fate of whole neighbourhoods from the cradle to the grave. For some, heaven, for others, tedium.
Getting a cross platform release in June, this is an interesting third person action title starring a shape shifting protagonist. Players will be able to take on the abilities of everyone they meet, and whether this will result in too much variety and not enough character empathy remains to be seen.
Batman: Arkham Asylum
There hasn't been a good Batman video game in years, but with Arkham Asylum the Dark Knight is expected to show his dark side once more. Taking on all of his famous foes once more in a lunatic asylum should at least add an edge to what could just be another third person action title.
Ghostbusters: The Videogame
Another famous franchise from the silver screen gets a reboot in June, this time with most of the original cast adding their voice and writing talents to the mix. With plenty of over the shoulder Gears of War style action, this time with anti-ghost plasma guns, the main story should at least provide a few laughs. There's also multiplayer which should hopefully keep people coming back for more after the single player campaign has run its course.
Street Fighter 4
Having already been released on console a few months ago, the PC audience is finally getting a taste of old school fighting with a new school look. Expect the controls to be rubbish on anything other than a USB Xbox 360 controller, and don't expect a lot of game modes. However, I'm sure you've already made up your mind as to whether you want this game or not.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
With the release of the new movie this summer comes the game of the same name. The first game which attempted to recreate the spectacle of the first movie fell on its face because of bland gameplay and boring missions, but this second attempt will hopefully learn from past mistakes. Even PS2 owners will be able to get a part of the mass destructive action, though only the latest consoles will be able to do the visuals any HD justice.
Resident Evil Archives: Resident Evil
I'm sure many Wii owners will despair as yet another rehash of an old game is released on their system, though this time it's a remake of a remake with added Wii controls. Taking the excellent Gamecube re-envisioning of the original 1996 title and whacking on motion controls may seem lazy, but at least it's being done to an already decent title.
Overlord 2
Taking fantast action to owners of all platforms, this sequel promises plenty more demons at your bidding in an evolution of the genre that Dungeon Keeper created over a decade ago. Incorporating elements of role playing, strategy and action packaged with tongue firmly in cheek this will appeal to more people than you might think, though whether this will translate into sales remains to be seen.
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction
This series has gone through so many twists and changes that it's hard to tell who the lead character Sam Fisher works for any more. This time it's all about daylight stealthing to help uncover a mole within his organisation as well as keeping his nearest and dearest safe from harm once more. Despite the convoluted plot stealth fans will be glad to see the genre back on track after Metal Gear Solid 4 forgot what kind of game it was trying to be.
Tales of Vesperia
Japanese style RPGs are struggling to find a foothold in the already crowded Western RPG market, though this Xbox 360 exclusive hopes to change all that. Art design and character development go hand in hand with action and magic in what critics are already hailing as a break through game. The phrase 'don't count your chickens' comes to mind.

A jury in California has found Toshiba and one of its U.S. units liable in a case brought by Lexar Media concerning flash memory and ordered Toshiba to pay US$380 million in damages, Lexar said last week.
Toshiba and Toshiba America Electronic Components were found liable of breach of fiduciary duty and theft of trade secrets in the case in the Superior Court for the State of California, County of Santa Clara.
Additionally, the jury found Toshiba guilty of actions which may support punitive damages, said Eric Whitaker, executive vice president and general counsel of Lexar. Evidence will be presented to the jury on Thursday to support a claim for further damages. Whitaker said the amount of damages claimed will be made public in court on Thursday and will be based on the net worth of Toshiba.
Toshiba declined to comment on the jury's recommendation.
Both the jury's recommendation on Wednesday and subsequent awards that might be made are subject to confirmation by the judge in the case.
At the root of the complaint is a business relationship gone sour. The two companies became partners in 1997 when Toshiba invested US$3 million in Lexar and received a seat on the company's board. Toshiba sat on the Lexar board for two and a half years and through that position gained access to the company's technology and its business plans while at the same time working with SanDisk Corp., a rival of Lexar, on plans to jointly develop flash memory chips, said Lexar.
"We think the way they did that was wrong," said Whitaker. "This (ruling) reaffirms the rules of the road."
The U.S. patents that were disputed in the case, 5,907,856; 6,034,897; 6,040,997; 6,081,878; 6,141,249 and 6,374,337, relate to various flash memory technologies.
"It's critically important for Lexar," Whitaker said of the patent ruling. "The value of Lexar's IP (intellectual property) has always been and will always be at the center of our business model. This sends a very important message to our current and future business partners."
Licensees of Lexar technology include Samsung Electronics, Sony, Olympus and Eastmak Kodak Co., Whitaker said.
Even with Wednesday's decision and Thursday's hearing for punitive damages, the case is not over.
A claim made by Lexar for unfair competition was not presented to the jury and is expected to be heard by the court on April 13 along with post trial motions. Among these motions, Lexar is likely to seek an injunction that bars Toshiba products found to include the Lexar technology under question from sale in the U.S., it said. These include NAND flash memory chips and memory cards that incorporate the chips.
A further case of patent infringement covering more than 10 patents has yet to be heard in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. In that case Lexar is also seeking damages and an injunction against sale of certain Toshiba products.
