Eva used colours from her favourite wearing wraps and slings to provide inspiration for the beautiful handpainting on her Onbag. The 'triskel' symbols and brightly coloured triangles look fantastic. Eva says 'this is my favourite bag now, even when I go out without my baby'.
The design was completed using standard textile paints and colours. Eva's friend Petra sewed the bag for her, leaving parts of the bag fabric white so that the textile paint colours remained vibrant and clear.
A stunning bag!

Even if the specimen itself is later lost or destroyed, the catalog entry remains as a permanent record of the original specimen. The importance of creating this record, by the physical process of data entry and labeling, cannot be understated. For natural history collections, a large fraction of the scientific value of the specimen is tied to its associated data. The catalog number is the link between the specimen and the data; if this link is broken, then the specimen may lose much of its usefulness for research and education.
Some people use the words "cataloging" and "accessioning" interchangeably, but, as we discussed in the section on accessioning , the act of cataloging and accessioning may or may not be the same thing. An accession record contains issues that are most relevant to ownership of the specimen; for example, how and when it was acquired, whereas catalog records allow you to assess what you have, what condition it is in, and where it is. The catalog is the intellectual link to your collection and the key to the physical specimens. The bigger a collection is, the more important this organizational link becomes.
Catalog numbers are of vital importance when specimens are used for research. Specimens are always referred to by their catalog number in scientific publications. This enables other researchers to reference the specimen in their publications, or to confirm or reject the observations of other scientists by directly examining the specimen themselves. Citing the catalog number makes sure that everyone is looking at the same specimen and the same set of associated information.
You mark the catalog number on the object, and create a catalog record for each number. The number links the object and the documentation. This number may be different from an accession number that identifies the transaction that establishes ownership of the object or group of objects.
Chapter 3: Cataloging of the National Park Service's Museum Handbook, Part II: Museum Records is available online .
It may not be possible to catalog newly excavated fossils until enough
work has been done to identify the specimen. It is important that the person who does the cataloging knows enough about the specimen, its origin, and the collection generally to make accurate identifications, detailed observations, provide cross-references to related objects, and place the specimen within the context of the larger collection. Whether you are cataloging onto a paper worksheet, a catalog card, a ledger, or a computer database, you should always follow the same format to ensure consistency. In a computerized database each piece of information is entered into a separate

In addition, the data world continues its inexorable evolution towards the cloud. It is actually staggering to see how fast the large public cloud providers (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, IBM) are growing, considering they already each generate billions of dollars of revenues every quarter. The trend raises ongoing concerns around vendor lock-in , and this may open up opportunities for startups offering multi-cloud solutions. However, to date even companies adopting multi-cloud strategies tend to still rely on one vendor as their primary provider.
As they keep growing, large cloud providers increasingly compete with each other by offering a wide array of Big Data, data engineering and machine learning tools through their platforms (e.g., Amazon Neptune, Google AutoML, etc.) – and often with aggressive pricing, to attract more developers, as their true business model is data storage. As the scope and sophistication of such tools keep growing, this has a big impact on the data technology landscape, making it arguably
harder for startups to compete
, at least for broad, horizontal opportunities. A bit more every year, the list of product announcements at big annual cloud vendor conferences (see AWS
Dolce Vita Womens Cato Slide Sandal Sand Linen gwbDofcf7
, for example) sends shockwaves in the startup industry, as they put cloud vendors in direct competition with dozens of VC-backed startups in one fell swoop. It will be interesting to see how public markets react to the upcoming Elastic IPO, an open-source software company that saw Amazon launch a direct competitor, Elasticsearch, three years ago.
Plenty of opportunities for startups remain, however, as long as they are sufficiently differentiated. Many in the space are scaling fast, and there are a number of particularly interesting, fast-growing segments in the infrastructure and analytics part of the ecosystem, including streaming /real-time, data governance , and data fabrics/virtualization . The explosion of interest in AI has also led to great opportunities (and a lot of funding) in AI chips , GPU databases , AI devops tools, and platforms enabling the deployment of data science and machine learning in the enterprise.
Machine Learning AI
It's certainly been a wild year in the world of AI research , with anything from the prowess of AlphaZero to the staggering pace of release of new advances – new forms of Generative Adversarial Networks, Vicarious' new Recursive Cortical Networks, Geoff Hinton's new Capsule Networks. AI conferences like NIPS have grown to attract 8,000 people and thousands of academic papers are being submitted every day.
At the same time, the pursuit of
Swims Mens Breeze Leap Laser Navy/Green/White 8gByJVY5e
, perhaps thankfully so. Much of the current wave of excitement (and fear) about AI results from the impressive performance of deep learning since 2012 but, in the AI research community, there's a growing sense of "what now?" as some question the foundations of deep learning (backpropagation) and others look to move past what they consider "brute force" approaches (lots of data, lots of computing power), perhaps in favor of more neuroscience-based approaches.

Blogger burnout. Have you ever heard of it? More importantly, have you ever felt it? It's what happens to a blogger when they're constantly giving all their creative energy and mental capacity solely to their blog posts. And when it happens, it's hard to recover from.
As a blogger yourself, you know that running a blog is about so much more than just your posts. Yes, your blog is important for creating value for your readers, helping out your SEO ranking, and serving as a communication point, but there is so much more to be done.
There's social media, email marketing, high-level vision casting, managing your team (if you have one), product development, creation, distribution, sales, and so much more. You have to find a way to spread your creative capacity and problem-solving abilities to all aspects of online business.
One way to avoid blogger burnout is simply to put a content plan into place. After all, your content's success is only as good as the plan you give it. It needs a foundation to stem from and your commitment to set it in motion.
I could give you an easy task and talk about how to create a month's worth of content, but I want to challenge you to take it a step further. I'm going teach you how to create a content strategy for the next 12 months.
You might think that creating a year-long content strategy is a waste of time. What about spur of the moment creativity? What about breaking news? What about keeping up with current trends?
I hear all that and absolutely agree with you. When inspiration strikes, write it. When breaking news breaks, report it. When a fashionable trend pop ups, give it a spotlight.
This process is not about setting up a strict and inflexible calendar. It's about helping you see the bigger picture for your blog's content. It's about giving you guidelines and the space to create the best content you can. Not convinced it's worth all the effort yet? Here's some more reasons:
Being aware of what content you have coming up allows you to always be on the lookout for facts and figures to back you up. The more research you can put into your blog, the more your readers will trust your content and the more authority you'll build in your topic.
According to our survey, 52% of bloggers write either the day before or on the same day as they plan to publish . Writing, editing, and posting content in 24 or even 48 hours span is never a good idea. Getting ahead of the game with your content means you have more time to edit and finesse your writing. You can leave it for a week and come back to it with a fresh pair of eyes or even send it to a friend for feedback.
Blogging alone is hard work. When you put a content calendar in place, it's a living document you can share with other team members, potential collaborators, or guest bloggers. They can see the overall vision for the blog and offer to help you fill in the blank spaces. Sometimes you might even have a friend who could write a better version of a given post than you could on your own. Planning ahead gives you the time to reach out.
No more procrastinating, going a week without publishing, or putting up subpar content. Putting together a content strategy helps you create rhythms for your blogging. You'll have systems and processes in place for SEO, content upgrades , internal links, promotions and all those things that take your blog to the next level.
You want all those things for your blog, right? Of course. Your blog will be an asset for your online business if you plan your content wisely. It will take a lot of effort to plan out and keep up with, but it will be well-worth it.
Before you can sit down to create your content calendar, there are a few things you need to decide on. These things will help you know everything from how many post ideas you need to come up with to how to organize those ideas.
Choosing (and using) an editorial calendar tool will change the way you approach your blog. With the right one, you'll start to see the big picture and use your blog to it's greatest potential. Check out our post about choosing a content calendar tool to find one that's right for you.
This one question will determine how much content you need to plan for. To figure this out, think about:
How much do your readers actually read? What other types of content are they consuming when you find them? Are they are on sites filled with Buzzfeed type lists, in-depth essays, or short-form blogs filled with images, etc? This can be done in the "Choose your audience" phase of creating your blog.
If you're just starting out, you need a lot of content to start hitting your SEO goals. You might need to be creating content to publish three, four, or even five times a week at the beginning to increase your possibility of ranking well in the search engines. If you're more of an established blogger, you can focuson publishing solely for your audience's needs.
Categories are not just there to help your reader find what they want. Setting up categories you want to blog about is key to making sure you're consistently covering all your bases. If you're just starting out blogging, three to five categories is great place to start, but you'll most likely find that your categories section will expand as you get further into your journey.
This last bit is not necessary, but when we create our content strategy here at ConvertKit we've found that giving themes to each month helps narrow our focus. The themes we come up with turn into each issue for Tradecraft , like this one about blogging for your online business. By creating a main theme we're able to think about all the individual topics you might want to know about when it comes to that theme.
Once you've got your basics ready to go and have thought through categories, keywords, and how much content you need to come up with, it's time to create your long list of content ideas.
There will be times as a blogger that you'll have unending blog topic ideas. One idea leads to the next and suddenly you've got five weeks worth of content you could write. But there will also be other times you'll feel stuck. You'll feel like your creativity well has been emptied and there's no way an original thought will ever come from your brain again. During those times, it's good to have a reservoir of idea-generating tricks to help you fill up your calendar.
Here are a couple of those tricks:
The first thing you want to do when starting your list of ideas is to think about your keywords. What are the main SEO-driven keywords your readers are likely to be searching for when your site pops up? Take that list and brainstorm five to 10 different blog titles for each keyword. Tools like
Google Adwords Keyword Planner
Unlisted by Kenneth Cole Mens Shock N Roll Oxford Dress Shoe Black Sy oKkBCMfuq9
can be incredibly helpful for finding keywords that are worth your time and cater to your audience.
The more you build trust with your readers, the more they will come to you with questions about your topic. While you should answer those as they come up, you should also write them down as potential blog topics. If one reader is asking a question, then it's most likely other readers have the same question.
A great way to solicit questions from your audience is to send a welcome email to each reader when they join your email list and close the email with, "What are you struggling with right now when it comes to ?"
The best way to give your readers the valuable information they want is to simply ask them what they want to learn. This can be done in a bunch of different ways. You could schedule 30 minute calls with potential blog readers, post a question on social media, or send out a survey asking specific questions you want to find out.
Even better, you could use an email marketing tool like ConvertKit to automatically send your survey to every new email subscriber to find out what your readers want on an ongoing basis.
What's everyone else talking about? Keep up with the latest industry buzz through your social media channels, news sites, and other blogs you follow. If something is coming up a lot, you should probably write about it. But please don't just regurgitate what you read. Make sure you have a new angle to the story. Think about how it pertains to your readers and how they interact with your business.
Depending on what type of business you run, it's possible your readers will want to know what's going on behind the scenes. What are you learning and figuring out that would also help your readers? We call this "teaching what you know" and it's actually why we launched our second publication
Dansko Stylish Joanie Women Platforms Wedges Sandals Elegant Footwear Fashion Pewter burnished metallic PnNfx4
. If your readers don't want to know about your business, perhaps they do want to know about how you're continuing to learn about your industry. If you have a blog about baking, it can be a great strategy to share your own experiences in the kitchenand teach what you're learning along the way. So whether your readers want to know about your business or your own experiences, this strategy can work well.
Finally, here we are at the execution phase. You have your content calendar open, strategies to come up with blog ideas (whether they're thought out headlines or scraps of ideas), and you're ready to get brainstorming.
To find how many blog posts you need to come up and how to organize them let's talk some math. Take the number of posts you want to publish a week and multiply that by 52 to get the total number of posts you need to write this year.
It's probably a really big number, but don't get overwhelmed! Now take that number and divide that by the number of categories you created. This will tell you how many posts you need to write to evenly space out your content between your categories. (This isn't necessary, but I think this step helps you organize your ideas a little easier.)
Now comes the fun part. It's time to brainstorm ideas. Take all those strategies from the section above and write down as many ideas as you can. Think about everything your audience might want to know in terms of your categories and let your creativity flow.
Once you've got a long list of ideas you can organize them to help you know what to write first.
You can prioritize them:
Now that you have your list of ideas organized, it's time to start filling out your content calendar. It's pretty simple at this point. Just take your ideas and plug them into the days you want to publish and you've got your content scheduled.
No pressure to get your whole year's worth of content figured out in one sitting. Now that you have a lot of your content figured out, you can better see all the gaps in your schedule and have more time to think of blog ideas or even time to reach out to other bloggers for guest posts. But no matter what you decide, I bet you at least have a few months of content scheduled and for that you deserve to celebrate.
Just because it's on your calendar doesn't mean it's going to write itself. Now that you have everything set you have to commit to yourself, your calendar, and your readers to make it happen. You've got to show up every day and make magic happen even when you don't feel like it.
But by having a plan set up from the beginning, you already have a head start. Your content plan is the best way to make sure you're regularly publishing and creating value for your readers.
And remember– just because it's on the schedule doesn't mean it's set in stone. If you get to a blog post and it's not relevant anymore, scrap it and go for something else. If you get inspired and write a different post, shift things around. Having your calendar set so far in advance gives you the flexibility to keep it fresh and exciting.
Are you ready to commit to your blog's success and create a year-long content calendar? I know you can do it!
If you have any more questions about creating your own content calendar, let's talk about it in the comments. I'm here to help in anyway I can.
I start all my conversations with 'Whaddya Want?' I ask teachers (my clients) what their biggest challenges are in teaching and learning, what mistakes do learners make in writing, and the real killer question – what annoys them the most!

U.S. Census Bureau Daily Feature for January 9

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Following is the daily "Profile America" feature from the U.S. Census Bureau:
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110428/DC91889LOGO)
Profile America — Wednesday, January 9th. If you feel a special, hair-raising electricity in the air today, well that's no wonder — it's National Static Electricity Day. Static electricity is the result of an imbalance between negative and positive charges in an object. These charges build up on the surface until they are discharged. This commonly happens when you shuffle about when the humidity is very low and then touch a conductor, such as a door handle or your pet's wet nose. Static electricity has uses in air purifiers, photocopiers and painting automobiles. Also sticking party balloons onto walls. Generating and distributing more practical electricity is a $445 billion a year business in the U.S. You can find more facts about America from the U.S. Census Bureau, online at www.census.gov.

Plaistow lawyer charged with raping teen boy remains free on bailJAMES A. KIMBLE
Union Leader Correspondent
July 11. 2013 4:06PM
BRENTWOOD - A Plaistow lawyer accused of raping a 15-year-old boy made his first court appearance this week, and remains free on bail as his case heads to superior court.
Lawrence A. Buswell Jr., 52, was arraigned Monday in 10th Circuit Court in Plaistow on sexual assault charges and for allegedly providing a minor with alcohol sometime between July and August 2011.
Buswell allegedly gave the boy two shots of Smirnoff Sour Apple Vodka then took him on out his boat on Country Pond in Kingston.
The rape occurred while the boat was stationed off a cove on the east side of an island, according to court documents.
No pleas were entered on the felony charges. The case is expected to be bound over to Rockingham County Superior Court for possible indictment.
Buswell remains free on $50,000 personal recognizance bail following Monday's hearing.
A judge ordered the long-time lawyer to have no contact with any person under 16 years of age, including the teenage boy he allegedly assaulted. Buswell also signed a waiver of extradition.
Kingston police arrested Buswell, of 11 Lions Way, on May 6 after spending months calling him and leaving a certified letter seeking his statement.
Police learned about the alleged assault last Aug. 10 when the boy's father contacted Kingston police.
The boy and his family had been camping at Country Shores Campground for the last 11 years.
Buswell is the owner's son, police said.
The boy told police that he went with Buswell out on his boat for a swim.
'When he got out of the water wearing just his boxer shorts, (Buswell) wrapped him in a towel, sat him on the middle console of the boat, grabbed his crotch and squeezed,' according to court records.
The boy said that he moved Buswell's hand away. Buswell then slid his hand under the boy's boxers and touched him, police said.
Buswell then pulled his pants down and forced the boy to perform two sexual acts, according to a police affidavit by Kingston police Detective Christopher LeBrecque.
Buswell faces two counts of felonious sexual assault, three counts of misdemeanor sexual assault and a single count of prohibited sales.
He is due back in court July 18 for a probable cause hearing. He has the option to waive that hearing, which would require prosecutors to call witnesses to testify about evidence leading to the arrest.
Buswell was also involved in a deadly boating accident on Country Pond last May. He was piloting a 20-foot power boat when it collided with a 17-foot powerboat. Eric Eskeland, 54, of Merrimack, was operating the other boat and died at the scene. The status of the investigation in that case is currently not known.

He may be considered "the replacement" on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. But Danny Pino, who joined the cast after Chistopher Meloni left the show at the end of the 12th season, has managed to breathe new life into NBC's long-running police procedural.
But that's not all… The 38-year-old Cuban-American actor has also added a little extra fuego to the show with his piercing eyes and killer smile. Even though he's always covered up, Pino still manages to make the screen sizzle. Here's a look at 20 hot photos of the Law & Order: SVU star!
1. 319_DannyPino_1
Black & White
Danny Pino isn't only handsome… He's also quite stylish! Just look at him in a
black suit, black dress shirt and off-white tie. The star of The Burning Plain has us
burning up, burning up for his love.
2. 319_DannyPino_2
He's Not Coast-ing on His Looks
He's almost always dressed to the nines in suits that fit him like a glove, like in this
image of Pino near the water. Now imagine how he'd look like in a Coast Guard
uniform. The former lifeguard considered joining the Coast Guard while growing up
in Miami.
3. 319_DannyPino_3
Lap Up His Exquisiteness
Oh how we'd love to take a seat next to Pino on that sofa… or on his lap for that
matter! The three-time ALMA Award-nominee is oh-so-fine.
4. 319_DannyPino_4
It's In His Jeans
Even when he's dressed in a blazer and jeans, Pino still manages to make our hearts
flutter every time we see him on and off screen.
5. 319_DannyPino_5
Grin & Bear It!
Talk about a heart-melting smile… Every time Pino shows off his pearly whites, like
he's doing in this photo, he just makes us derretir.
6. 319_DannyPino_6
Tall, Dark & Handsome
Pino is one tall (dark and handsome) glass of water, as evidenced in this photo of the
former Cold Case star.
7. 319_DannyPino_7
Sexy and I Know It…
Pino's smoldering smirk in this photo makes us believe the soft-spoken actor knows
he's one sexy specimen.
8. 319_DannyPino_8
Suit & Tie
"And as long as I got my suit and tie, Imma leave it all on the floor tonight…" Every
time we see Pino dressed to the nines in his suit and tie, we can't help but sing the
lyrics to Justin Timberlake's latest single and daydream.
9. 319_DannyPino_9
He Smart Too!
Before pursuing acting as a full-time career, Pino thought about becoming a lawyer.
He even studied engineering and pre-law at Florida International University and
graduated from the South Florida school in 1996.

He's Humble!
He's not only charming and debonair… Pino is also quite humble, especially when
talking about his big break on CBS' Cold Case. "When you are welcomed into
people's living rooms, it says not only a lot about the show and the quality of it and
the people you are working with, but hopefully it also says something about your
own work and where you are at and the all-star team you are surrounded by," said
Pino in an interview.
11. 319_DannyPino_11
He's Not Afraid of a Challenge
Pino isn't one to rest on his laurels, which makes him even sexier to us. The Law &
Order: SVU looks for roles that challenge him. "I'm always chasing roles that make
me nervous," he says. "It's always the role like, I wonder if I can pull this off. I just
played a police officer, so how do I play one different? What would be compelling
about that? That was a challenge. There's not one specific role that jumps out at me,
but it's always the challenge to play something new."
12. 319_DannyPino_12
He's a Fireman…
Call him a fireman… Pino, who was born on April 15, is an Aries, a fire sign. People
born under the sign have an energy, vitality and enthusiasm that serve as an
inspiration to others.

The Man Can Cook!
Here's another reason Pino is sexy… The man can cook! In an interview with Men's
Health, Pino admitted to knowing how to cook. After some practice, that is. "I have
my great grandmother's recipe for black beans, all the way from Cuba, and I know
how to make those. I'm actually pretty good at it now. But my first time, the beans
actually exploded in the pot, so I had black beans just dripping from the ceiling—
which is actually a dream come true for most Cubans. It was a nightmare to clean. It
looked like a crime scene: Who killed the beans?"
14. 319_DannyPino_14
He Knows How to Stay Healthy
"You've gotta pick your battles, man. You choose what you're going to jump into: the
lechon, the maduras, or the bistec," says Pino in an interview with Men's Health on
how he balances enjoying Cuban food with staying trim for the cameras. "You can't
do them all. Choose wisely, then eat in moderation. When I know I'm going to Mom's
for dinner, I throw an extra 20 minutes on the cardio machine so I can be ready to
15. 319_DannyPino_15
He's Proud to be Cubano
There's nothing hotter than a man who embraces his cultura, just like Pino does.
"I'm certainly proud to be Cuban-American and it's a fantastic opportunity for
anybody — regardless of their ethnicity or nationality," Pino to Latina about
representing the community on Law & Order: SVU. " It does carry a measure or pride
to know where you're from and to know what your roots are."
16. 319_DannyPino_16
He's Got Moves
During his Cold Case days, Pino served as a presenter at the Primetime Emmy
Awards with his co-star Kathryn Morris, where he showed off his killer dance
moves when he dipped Morris backstage. It was a swoon-worthy moment! He'd
later get his dancing groove on with his co-star Mariska Hargitay on the set of Law
& Order: SVU.
17. 319_DannyPino_17
He's a Baller
Growing up, Pino wanted to play professional baseball. And even though he decided
to pursue acting instead, the Law & Order: SVU star is still a baller. He's participated
in charity baseball games and has even thrown out the first pitch at Miami's Marlins
Park, with William Levy no less.
18. 319_DannyPino_18
He's Shared a Stage with Madonna
Back in 2002, Pino acted alongside Madonna in London in the play Up for Grabs.
And he's got nothing but props for the pop icon. "What I can tell you is that she's
incredibly professional. She works as hard as anyone I've ever worked with. I think
her approach is different given she's a performer and been in front of an audience
probably more than any actor could hope for, whether it's in concert or making
appearances or whatnot," Pino told the Miami Herald. "She's strong-willed, funny,
generous. I grew to respect her process very much and learned a lot from her. You
have to be on your toes; she never took a night off." A man who has respect for the
ladies, he's a winner in our book!
19. 319_DannyPino_19
Cuban God?
With his chiseled face and expressive eyes, Pino definitely looks like a Greek… err…
Cuban god. The producers of the Clash of the Titans remake totally missed their
chance to cast him as one of the gods in the film.
20. 319_DannyPino_20
He's Desi-Licios…
Pino made us weak in the knees when he portrayed Desi Arnaz in the 2003
television movie Lucy. Talk about perfect casting.

Malian official: Tracks in sand lead to arrests in French journalists kidnapping, deaths
DAKAR, Senegal – A Malian intelligence official says about a half-dozen people have been detained by French forces east of the north Mali city of Kidal in connection with the kidnapping and killing of two French journalists.
The official, who could not be named because he was not authorized to speak to reporters, said the journalists' bodies were found next to the attackers' abandoned car. He said French troops followed the attackers' tracks in the sand and on Monday apprehended a group of men.
Witnesses reported that Radio France Internationale journalists Ghislaine Dupont and Claude Verlon were grabbed by four men on Saturday after interviewing a Tuareg rebel leader.
The intelligence official said: "We believe that of the people they now have in custody, they have at least one of the four killers."

Sept 2 (Reuters) - Disgraced Canadian sprinter Ben Johnson will return to Seoul later this month in an anti-doping ambassadorial role, exactly 25 years after his infamous 100m Olympic run in the South Korean capital.
Johnson won gold in a world record time of 9.79 seconds but was stripped of his victory three days later after steroids were detected in his system, in what remains one of sport's most high-profile doping cases.
Now on a world tour to promote "Choose the Right Track" campaign, a brainchild of the Australian-owned sports company Skins, Johnson will return to the same Seoul Olympic Stadium on Sept. 24 on the 25th anniversary of what he called "my greatest and also my worst moment in history".
"I'm still living with the bad choices I made," the 51-year-old wrote in an open letter on the campaign website.
"I was a drugs cheat and I only have myself to blame. I put chemicals inside my body without fully appreciating what it might do.
"It ruined my career. It ruined my reputation. It ruined my life. It also may have caused me some physical harm.
"Fast forward 25 years and athletes are still testing positive week after week - still making the same mistakes I made. Athletes' perceptions need to change. The system needs to change," he said.
Johnson backed punishment for dope cheats but also sought better education and support for the athletes.
"25 years is long enough," he added. (Reporting by Amlan Chakraborty in New Delhi; Editing by John O'Brien)

MOUNT KISCO, N.Y. — Emergency room physician Dr. Timothy Haydock took the stand Thursday, the first and only witness for the defense in the trial of Douglas Kennedy.
This was the fourth day of the trial at Mount Kisco Village Court, in which Kennedy, the youngest son of the late Robert F. Kennedy, has pleaded not guilty to two counts of harassment and endangering the welfare of a child, both misdemeanors.
Haydock, a Kennedy family friend, was present during the Jan. 7 altercation between Kennedy and two nurses at Northern Westchester Hospital.
The defense had argued earlier that the nurses overreacted when Kennedy attempted to leave the maternity unit with his newborn son, Bo, to go outside for some "fresh air."
Nurses Anna Lane and Cari Luciano, saw Kennedy and attempted to stop him from taking the baby into the elevator and then the stairwell, according to their testimony. Lane said Kennedy twisted her arm as she held the door, and Luciano said he kicked her when she made a move to steady the baby.
Haydock told the New York Daily News in the days after the event: "I witnessed the incident and I can state unequivocally that the nurses were the only aggressors."
Haydock testified that Kennedy told him he would follow him downstairs, and "I thought that would be fine. I thought that would be great," so they walked over to the nurses' station to get permission.
Haydock said the tone of the situation changed when Lane arrived at the nurses' station and harshly told Kennedy it was against hospital policy to take his son outside.
Haydock characterized Lane's behavior and tone of voice as "very aggressive" and Luciano's sudden move toward the baby at the stairwell as "lunging," while describing Kennedy's behavior as "reasonable and calm" throughout.
The prosecution drove home the point that Haydock chiefly works at White Plains Hospital and spends about five days a month at Northern Westchester Hospital and so was not familiar with hospital policy.
The prosecution also focused on Haydock's admission that he was not wearing his ID card that night and so could not be readily identified by the nurses on duty.
Before the trial resumed Thursday, the defense made a motion to dismiss the case on grounds that the prosecution had not proved either of the two charges.
The defense denied that Kennedy knowingly did anything likely to cause his child harm, and said did he not intentionally harass or alarm the nurses.
However, Assistant District Attorney Amy Puerto argued that "intent can be formed instantaneously."
The justice said he would like to wrap up the case on Friday.

May 25, 2010 - R. Colin Johnson - EEtimes.com
PORTLAND, Ore. —Nanocomposites aim to boost the capacity of lithium ion batteries by five-times by hanging nanometer-sized silicon particles on trees of carbon black that self-assemble into porous micron-sized spheres, which increase an electrode's surface area with interconnected internal channels.
High-performance lithium ion batteries today use anodes made from carbon (graphite). Silicon has been proposed as a substitute for graphite since it offers a theoretical improvement of 10-times in capacity over graphite, but so far prototypes have proven too unstable for creating lithium batteries with a long lifetime, according to professor Gleb Yushin at the Georgia Institute of Technology.
The problem, according to Yushin, is that silicon particles crack when they are formed at the same granularity of graphite particles—about 15 to 20 microns. The new nanocomposite material solves that problem by hanging 30 nanometer sized silicon particles on trees of carbon black which then self-assemble into porous spheres about 10-to-30 microns in diameter. The resulting electrode remains stable due to the durable carbon-superstructure that prevents cracking, but benefits from the increased surface area afforded by the smaller silicon nanoparticles.
Common chemical vapor deposition processes allow the new hybrid silicon-carbon electrodes to be mass produced economically, according to Yushin. He also claimes that because the tiny silicon nanoparticles are permanently attached to the micron-sized carbon black trees, they avoid the health hazards of processes that require handling of nanoscale particles.
So far Georgia Tech has fabricated experimental anode electrodes, which it is testing for use in standard manufacturing processes for lithium batteries. Their prototype has survived over one hundred recharge cycles without any degradation, leading the researchers to predict they will last for thousands of recharges.
Besides Yushin, other Georgia Tech researchers involved in the project include Alexandre Magasinki, Patrick Dixon, Benjamin Hertzberg and Alexander Alexeev, along with Alexander Kvit from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Igor Luzinov from Clemson University, and Jorge Ayala from Superior Graphite (Chicago).
Funding was provided by a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Superior Graphite and Streamline Nanotechnologies, Inc. (Atlanta).

U0074 Engine Trouble Code
Meaning of U0074 engine trouble code is a kind of network trouble code and when your car's 'U0074 Check Engine' light comes on, it's usually accompanied by a sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach. The light could mean a costly problem, like a bad catalytic converter, or it could be something minor, like a loose gas cap. But in many cases, it means at minimum that you'll be visiting the car dealer to locate the malfunction and get the light turned off.
U0074 Fault Symptoms :
If one of these reasons for U0074 code is occuring now you should check U0074 repair processes.
Now don't ask yourself; What should you do with U0074 code ?
The solution is here :
U0074 Possible Solution:
The crankshaft sensor signals the fuel injection computer or the ignition control when the cylinders are firing. This causes the ignition coil to provide a spark and the injector to inject fuel into each cylinder at the right time.If either sensor isn't working correctly, the car will run rough and the engine will be less efficient. In later car models, the car's computer can usually keep the vehicle running, but the engine warning light on the dashboard goes on to warn the driver.
U0074 Code Meaning :
|OBD-II Diagnostic Network (U) Trouble Code For Engine
|Intake Valve Control Solenoid Circuit Low
|Ambient Air Temperature Sensor Circuit Low
|Cylinder 10 Contribution/balance Fault
|Timing Reference High Resolution Signal A Too Many Pulses
Is the fuel pump sometimes not priming when you turn the key to ON(II)? Start by measuring the fuel pressure and checking whether you have bright white-bluish spark at all four plugs. The mechanical timing is also something that you should check, as we mentioned above.
U0074 OBD-II Diagnostic Network (U) Trouble Code DescriptionU0074 engine trouble code is about Timing Reference High Resolution Signal A Too Many Pulses.
Main reason For U0074 CodeThe reason of U0074 OBD-II Engine Trouble Code is Ambient Air Temperature Sensor Circuit Low.
U0074 the main thing to check is to verify the operation of the VCT solenoid. You're looking for a sticking or stuck VCt solenoid valve caused by contamination. Refer to vehicle specific repair manual to perform component tests for the VCT unit.

For all the talk about how different the Orlando Magic will look this season, there's at least one area that the current team will have in common with its recent predecessors.
When asked Friday to distill his defensive philosophy into its basic tenets, coach Jacque Vaughn said he wants his players to protect the paint.
"We really want to restrict guys getting into the paint," he said. "If there was one thing, that's for us. There are going to be some nights where guys hit 3-point shots on us. High-quadrant 3s and long 2s are the worst shots in basketball [for an offense to take], and so we're geared to give up those shots. Sometimes, I'm going to have to shake the other coach's hand and say, 'Good job.'
"But, for the most part, we want to keep guys out of the paint, and that's going to be the base of our defense."
Vaughn and Stan Van Gundy share that in common.
Van Gundy typically set three major goals for his defense: getting back quickly after made baskets or missed baskets, shrinking the floor and protecting the paint and closing hard/contesting shots.
Three-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year Dwight Howard provided a safety net for the Magic. His shot-blocking ability deterred drives to the hoop, and his presence covered up for many of his teammates' defensive shortcomings.
This year's Magic won't have that luxury.
Nik Vucevic and Gustavo Ayón each averaged 2.0 blocks per 48 minutes last season, which would've placed them in the bottom third of NBA centers in that statistical category. Meanwhile, point guard Jameer Nelson and small forward Hedo Turkoglu never have been regarded as particularly adept at preventing dribble drives.
"The way we're playing defensively is definitely geared toward the personnel that we have right now, for sure," Vaughn said. "It is a team defense based around five guys being in the right position at the right time. It's help-oriented. But, at the same time, there's a responsibility one-on-one."

Czech Government Suspends ACTA Ratification
from the check-off-another-one dept
"By no means would the government admit a situation where civic freedoms and free access to information would be threatened," Necas said.Unfortunately, it sounds like some of the protesters are still claiming things about ACTA that were removed ages ago, as Necas is also telling people that it won't require checking laptops at borders or monitoring internet usage. While some of those things were floated in very early drafts of ACTA, all of those have been gone for years at this point. Once again, we have to urge people to keep the ACTA debate fact-based, because misinformation like this makes it easier for countries like the Czech Republic to come back later and say that they're still ratifying the document, because the complaints turned out not to be true. There are plenty of real problems with ACTA, and hopefully people can focus on those. Otherwise these milestone moments in the Czech Republic and Poland will be for nothing....
That is why the government will analyse the issue and have it assessed by experts. "We really must look into the impact it would have in real life," Necas said.

Bossa Nova and Jazz this summer at La Terraza del Claris. Summer 2010. Spain
Live music and a new chill-out zone create the perfect atmosphere for summer evenings at the Claris
La Terraza del Claris, one of the first to welcome the summer to Barcelona, is once again celebrating the arrival of the new season, with businesspeople, politicians and other figures from Barcelona culture and society. This year there's a plus—along with the live music, patrons can enjoy the new chill-out zone.
This new space at La Terraza del Claris features the latest in outdoor decor and will be enveloped by the sounds of Brazilian bossa nova and real jazz in the purest New-York style, every evening, Tuesday to Saturday. The performances, which go until midnight, will give way to more contemporary sounds until 2 am.
After seventeen years, La Terraza del Claris has become the place for summer night owls in Barcelona, and the best place for foodies too. At La Terraza del Claris you can have a quiet lunch by the pool, or enjoy the long summer nights over a light dinner or cocktails. And, for those looking for something special, there's a glass-walled restaurant, East Garden, a pleasant, private place, for just 24 guests.
From June to the end of the season, both spaces offer menus of food, drinks and cocktails designed to refresh the best summer moments. From 1.00 to 4.00 pm, La Terraza del Claris offers a set menu of light dishes for lunch in the sun, such as pâté terrine with pear salad; ham risotto and seasonal mushrooms; fresh fish of the day with tender shoots and vegetables; or duck magret with endives, orange and golden enoki mushrooms. For dessert, La Terraza del Claris proposes peach soup and yoghurt ice cream or panacotta vanilla and strawberry sundae.
From 6.00 pm to 2.00 am, La Terraza del Claris offers a nighttime bar and food service. Exclusive, elaborate dishes, such as Wagyu beef carpaccio with tomato and apple; European spider crab and tiger prawn rice; poached egg with violet potatoes and caviar; tuna belly fillet with courgette flowers and mango chutney; or veal tenderloin with creamed potatoes and morel mushrooms, to name but a few. Particularly tempting are the three types of farm caviar on offer: Iranian Beluga Imperial, Passion Persia Imperial, and Acipenser naccarii from the Vall d'Aran.
These dishes are complemented by an array of classic wines alongside some more daring choices in a selection that includes whites, reds and rosés. And to wet your whistle well into the night, La Terraza del Claris offers from the classic Bloody Mary or a mojito, to an exclusive selection of surprising Claris Fashion cocktails, such as the Golden, the Pink Rose, the Islan Tiki, the Ginger-Apple, or the Banke, amongst other innovative "hautes mixes".

Gamers pledge almost a million dollars for Wasteland sequel
Classic post-apocalyptic RPG to return
Gamers have rallied behind plans to bring back classic post-apocalyptic RPG Wasteland in one of the most eagerly anticipated sequels to date.
Wasteland, released in 1988, was the inspiration for the Fallout series. Both games spearheaded by Interplay founder and famed games developer Brian Fargo.
Fargo is also set to front the development of Wasteland 2, rounding up the same creative team behind the original, including designers Alan Pavlish and Mike Stackpole, as well as various crew members of the Fallout team.
The group has now reached out for financial backing on 'money please' website Kickstarter. They hope to raise a minimum of $1m - a large sum of cash, although nothing in comparison to the budgets behind top-tier RPGs made today.
If they can gather even more, the team promises a version for Mac OS X as well.
At the time of writing, they had already rallied a quarter of a million dollars in just two days. Pledges now stand just shy of $960,000.
The sequel was previously pitched to a number of game publishers, all of which rejected it, claiming there's no longer any interest in old-school RPGs.
Fargo and co. hope to prove them wrong.
We'll keep our fingers crossed for them. If you fancy offering your financial assistance, show some support on the Wasteland 2 Kickstarter page. ®
Thanks to Chad Henshaw for the tip.

glass window. Monday , February 26th , 2018 - 17:09:07 PM
In the 20th Century new ideas were being formed, changing painted art into decorative art and windows of colour. Architects around the world were trialling new techniques to create their glass art work.
Window Design Styles There are several styles of windows from which to choose here are a few of the most popular: Bay - These large windows are traditionally made of three windows, one large window flanked by smaller windows. A window seat under a bay window is heavenly. Double-hung - This classic window design style has an outside sash that slides up and down and an inside sash that slides up. This style of window allows a lovely breeze in as well as facilitates natural light. Casement - Casement windows are usually hung in pairs and mounted on hinges that allow the sash to swing in or out (depending on what you prefer). Bow - These windows are similar to bay windows but have more than three panels which join to form a gentle curve. Tilt-turn - This window design is popular in Europe, these unusual windows tilt in towards the room at the top and also turn a full 180 degrees - excellent for easy cleaning. Jalousies - This window design is comprised of many slats of glass that open and close. Jalousies windows are extremely similar to Venetian blinds. Skylight - This window design is perfect for small rooms where normal windows would be overwhelming. Skylights are essentially windows which are fitted at an angle rather than vertically, usually through the ceiling or roof. Fixed - As these windows can not be opened their sole purpose is to allow light in. Stained glass - This window design is popular in Victorian inspired homes around the world. Patterns are made from different pieces of coloured glass and the sparkle of different coloured beams of light has a wonderful effect.
This decorative glass window film can be applied in almost all things in your house made up of glass. You can add a twist to it, by simply cutting them up; add them up as borders and/or as accents to your house. But despite the flexibility of these cheap stained glass alternatives, make sure that you match them up with the color themes in your house or the tendency is that it could be overpowering. Just the right stained glass window film the right places - those were there is too much light or those with very less designs.

With beginnings working out of a local coffee shop, Ready for School marked a major step forward this week as staff celebrated moving into their new office space downtown.
The early childhood initiative moved into the recently renovated 3,000-square-foot building at 70 W. Eighth St. earlier this month.
Executive Director Pat VerDuin started Ready for School in October 2008, and for about a year and a half worked at a booth inside JP�s Coffee House. Since then, the Ready for School staff has grown from VerDuin to 15 full-time and contractual employees.
�I think what�s the most amazing part is the Community Foundation (of the Holland Zeeland Area) is the entity that started us,� VerDuin said. �Now we�re in the space they occupied.�
Space was the driving reason behind the move, Development and Marketing Director Colleen Hill said. Not only is the new office three times bigger than the old one, but it is designed to be welcoming and open to suit the needs of parents and child care providers who come in to make use of Ready for School�s resources.
The renovation cost more than $100,000 and was funded through donations from more than 20 area businesses.
Business, community and education leaders were invited to an open house and ribbon-cutting ceremony on Thursday.
�We just really want to show the community the transformation that has happened here,� Hill said.
Ready for School prepares children for success by equipping parents through integrated support of Hamilton, Holland and Zeeland. The goal is by 2015, to have 75 percent of local children ready for school as measured by DIBELS (Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills), a nationally recognized literacy assessment.

Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE:CMG) could soon add a new item to its menu, meant to appeal to health-conscious diners.
The restaurant chain will begin testing consumer reaction to "Sofritas," a vegetarian product made from tofu at seven San Francisco locations this month. This is the second time the chain has experimented with a vegetarian dish in recent years, the Denver Business Journal notes.
In 2010, CMG tried out a "Garden Blend" filling for tacos and burritos, made from soy and vegetable proteins. But it fell short of expectations.
CMG says Sofritas contain "shredded tofu braised with chipotle chilis, roasted poblanos and a blend of aromatic spices." Customers can order Sofritas in burritos, tacos, burrito bowls and salads.
Last month, CMG said it would launch a catering menu for groups of between 20 and 200 people, starting at restaurants in Colorado before rolling it out to all 1,350 locations nationwide.
Shares of Chipotle Mexican Grill rose more than 1% in Friday midday trading.

BIG BAG SALE Buy One get One 50% Off w/code "BOGOFIFTY"
This package makes 4 cubic feet, 50sq feet or 6x8ft 1in deep worth of snow. Each order includes FREE 2-3 day shipping in the US. No one sells more bulk instant snow than us, we ship tens of thousands of pounds of Snow in Seconds™ around the world for various events and functions. We have what you need in stock, and your order will ship the same day if placed before noon Central. Snow in Seconds™ is tried and tested with years of satisfied customers.
The secret is Snow in Seconds™ synthetic polymer with super-absorbing "tiny sponge" properties. It is safe, non-toxic, and will "erupt" into snow when you add water - Instantly! Snow in Seconds™ is realistic; it is used on indoor ski resorts, in broadway shows, and by movie makers to create realistic easy to clean snow on set. Snow in Seconds™ makes it easy for you to bring the high tech powder used by professionals in movies into your home affordably! Beware of impostors, Snow in Seconds™ (Federal Trademark Registration #77572110) is the only instant snow that grows 100 times its size in just seconds, and will NOT turn into a gell like other brands. Other brands try to sell the same substance in baby diapers as instant snow, beware of these rip off sites.
After mixing your Snow in Seconds™ you can place it in the freezer for 45-60 minutes and make snowmen. The cooled Snow in Seconds™ molds like real snow!
Snow in Seconds™ is safe to use outside without damaging plants or grass. Sprinkle the hydrated Snow in Seconds™ on evergreen trees to give your home a realistic snow effect for the Holidays.
All orders are shipped immediately. If your order is placed before 3PM CST M-F it will ship the same day, otherwise first thing the following morning. Standard shipping takes 4-6 days. Expedited Shipping 2-3 days, (most cities are 2 days) and overnight shipping is also available during checkout. If you have concerns about getting your Snow in Seconds in time for an event, please email us before placing an order. If you need your order really fast, check us out on Amazon Prime.
Add 1/4 cup of water for each 1 teaspoon of Snow in Seconds™ powder. The secret is Snow in Seconds™ super-absorbing tiny sponge like properties. To reuse let snow dry completely and store in an airtight container.
After several days your Snow in Seconds™ will start to dehydrate and eventually return to its original form. Snow in Seconds™ will dehydrate based on the amount of humidity that is in the environment. Snow in Seconds™ evaporates faster in a dry climate than in high levels of humidity. You can keep your Snow in Seconds™ displayed and looking fresh for as long as you wish by lightly spritzing it with water every couple days.
Yes, when you are finished with your Snow in Seconds™ package the dry powder into your resealable bag and save it for later. Be sure that the water has completely evaporated out of your Snow in Seconds™ powder before storing.
Yes, the process of evaporation constantly cools the snow. At first your Snow in Seconds™ will maintain the temperature of water that is used in the mixture. The colder the water, the cooler your Snow in Seconds™ will be.
Snow in Seconds™ is non-toxic, safe for kids and animals. It is also safe to use outside without damaging plants or grass.
A little bit goes a long way. Snow in Seconds™ powder expands 100 times its original size when water is added. Remember, when the powder is mixed in small increments it is better able to reach its full expansion. The amount of fake snow in each package is measured by the gallons it will produce.
To better help you decide how many gallons of Snow in Seconds™ you need, use the equation; Width x Length x Desired Depth= Volume/.134 (Cubic Feet in a Gallon). This equals the amount of gallons you will need to cover your intended area. Refer to the Calculator about half way down our home page to help in deciding the amount of Snow in Seconds™ you will use.
Add a cup or more of Snow in Seconds™ powder to a large container. Then pour in water, mixing until the snow stops growing, or until you get a consistency you like. Using the maximum amount of water will yield the most realistic snow. Snow in Seconds™ powder will absorb a lot of water, keep adding and mixing until it no longer puffs up when new water is added. Over time the snow will shrink as the water evaporates out, you can mix more water in to puff it back up.
Snow in Seconds™ is easy to clean. Sweep or vacuum the snow from any surface. Do not wash your snow down the sink, it will slow your drain. Do not use Snow in Seconds™ on untreated wood or it may absorb water from the snow. The mixture is slippery so be sure to use caution on any walking surface. If you are looking for a quick fix, table salt easily breaks down and dehydrates the mixture in just seconds.
To create amazing colored snow just add a few drops of food coloring to your water before mixing Snow in Seconds™. Your Snow in Seconds™ will take on the color as it erupts!

Short review: They keep things laid out in such a clean and uniformed way, it starts the journey out on the definite right foot. At this time there's not much material to offer, but what is here will undoubtedly hold your interest like others may not. The forceful way they take the sex from this site is very realistic and with a plot that makes the scenes look and seem realistic. Nice quality in presentation.
Content Amount: The numbers for this site on its own were extremely low, but it could be this is a newer part and they're just getting started on filling quota. Along with this material are six bonus sites, and I can speak for one and say the numbers are much higher.

Our arcitects can provide architectural design to develop a design idea into a coherent proposal, to communicate ideas and concepts, to convince clients of the merits of a design, to enable a building contractor to construct it, as a record of the completed work, and to make a record of a building that already exists.Architectural Animation & Walkthrough
We use Computer-aided architectural design (CAAD) software is the repository of accurate and comprehensive records of buildings. Computer-aided design (CAD) was originally the type of program that architects used, but since CAD couldn ' t offer all the tools that architects needed to complete a project, CAAD developed as a distinct class of software. Architectural animation is usually a short architectural movie created on a computer. A computer-generated building(s) is created along with landscaping and sometimes moving people and vehicles. Unlike an architectural rendering, which is a single image from a single camera point of view, an architectural animation is a series of hundreds or even thousands of still images made by a moving camera.

- Conceptual Walkthroughs showing the layout of the buildings in an area.
- Animations for buildings such as process of construction of a wooden house etc.
- Product 3D Animation ` showing the process of the assembly of a product.
- Process Animation showing the process.
Arictectural 3D floor plan is a virtual model of building floor plan designed using computer aided design software ' s like Revit and 3ds max. 3D floor plans allow an architect to view a building interior prior to construction of a building. They assist architects, builders, and designers with architectural layout decisions. An architectural model is a type of a scale model, tangible (also called sometimes physical) representation of a structure built to study aspects of an architectural design or to communicate design ideas to clients, committees, and the general public. Architectural models are a tool which may be used for show, presentation, fundraising, obtaining permits, and sale purposes.
- Photorealistic Exterior Views for any type of Building with the real life environment such as vegetation, effects of different lighting conditions (sunlight and shadows), landscape, human activities etc.
- Photorealistic Interior Views for any type of Building including Kitchen, Living Room, Bedroom, Bathroom, Storage Room, Corridors, Reception Area, Office Work Place, Garage etc.
- Product Modeling and 3D Rendering such as standardized or customized furniture, Kitchen accessories, perfume bottles etc for catalogues, websites and brochures.
- Photomontage Images which integrate the new view of the building with the existing photograph of the site.
Cad outsourcing provides architectural drawings which are drawn according to a set of conventions, which include particular views (floor plan, section etc.), sheet sizes, units of measurement and scales, annotation and cross referencing. Conventionally, drawings were made in ink on paper or a similar material, and any copies required had to be laboriously made by hand. The twentieth century saw a shift to drawing on tracing paper, so that mechanical copies could be run off efficiently.
Architectural Drafting and Architectural CAD drawing are fundamental skills and tasks in the field of architecture as well as in the fields of architectural engineering. Cad outsourcing provides, Architectural cad drafting aids in the design and construction of buildings, helps to communicate and present ideas, and renders buildings.

Team Associated's Carl Renezeder and Kyle LeDuc Win Big in AZ!October 31, 2012
Event Name: Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series
Event Location: Firebird Raceway Chandler AZ
Event Date(s): October 27, 2012 to October 28, 2012
The 2012 Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series headed to Chandler AZ and Firebird Raceway for the final weekend of the 2012 season. The Pro 2 and Pro 4 championships were still up for grabs and it would come down to the final race in each class to determine the 2012 class champions.
Lucas Oil threw some twists at the drivers with changes to the track that would result in multiple racing line options, tighter passing zones, and larger jumps. Mother Nature tossed in a curveball as well with high winds that caused the track to dry out very quickly and visibility became limited as dust filled the track. By the time qualifying came around, it seemed that the drivers had figured out the new lines on the track and were ready to get busy. When qualifying concluded, Team Associated drivers Carl Renezeder and Casey Currie posted the fast times in the Pro-4 and Pro-Lite classes.
Saturday's racing started after opening ceremonies with Team Associated driver Kyle LeDuc looking to lockup the Pro 4 championship. Kyle headed into the last race of the series with a slim 16 point lead over his brother Todd. When the green flag came out, Kyle played it smart knowing he only needed to finish in order to be crowned the 2012 L.O.O.R.R.S. Pro 4 Champion. Team Associated Pro 4 driver Eric Barron started at the front of the pack and began to pull a large lead over Carl Renezeder and Todd LeDuc. Eric's lead began to dissolve when the competition yellow can out and bunched the pack back together. When the flagman turned them loose for the second half of the race, Carl and Todd made a run on Eric. Going down the backstretch, Eric was passed by Carl and was landed on when he drifted in front of Todd after and awkward landing. Eric was still able to continue racing, but started to fall back. After keeping his nose clean for much of the race, it looked like Kyle had found another gear and started picking guys off one by one. Carl and Todd however were putting on a great show out front. Todd stayed close to Carl but, was unable to get by. Carl brought home the win with Todd in a close second, and by this time Kyle Leduc made his way through the pack and with a pass on the last lap he would take third place. The 16 point spread leading into the last round of racing didn't reflect the dominating performance Kyle had shown by starting off the season with six consecutive wins. Team Associated Pro 4 drivers Kyle LeDuc, Carl Renezeder, and Eric Barron won all but 1 round of the 2012 season!
Pro-Lites took to the track next and with the class title already settled, there was nothing to lose for the other racers. Team Associated driver Casey Currie started in the third row after drawing a six truck inversion from his top qualifying position. Casey started working his way through the field making it up to third behind class champion RJ Anderson and Brian Deegan. Casey and RJ were battening hard when mechanical issues plagued RJ causing him to drop out of the race. Casey claimed the second position and was looking to chase down Deegan. The two drivers battled for several laps, but Deegan didn't give Casey an opening allowing him to hold on for the win. Casey took home the second place finish from Deegan's heels, and youngster Bradley Morris rounding out the podium.
The 2012 Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series points battles were now over but, the teams were not headed home just yet, as it was now time to prep the vehicles for Sunday's "Challenge Cup Race" which would pair Pro Lite's against the Pro-Buggies and Pro 4s against Pro 2s. Not only were there bragging rights at stake, but also a huge purse across all classes that Lucas Oil put up. The main attraction would be the Pro 4 versus Pro 2 class with a field of 24 trucks all racing to win $30,000, the action would prove to be intense. Starting positions were decided by inverting the top ten in points, with those outside the top ten filling in as the points stood after the last round of the series. Because of the faster lap times of the Pro 4s, Lucas Oil would start the group of Pro 4s a half of a lap behind the field of Pro 2s in an effort to even the playing field.
Team Associated driver Robby Woods started out front with the field with 23 drivers behind him looking to take it away. After several laps, a full course caution was brought out due to a crash outside of turn two. When racing got back under way, the gap between the Pro 4s and Pro 2s had been erased and the faster Pro 4s looked to make their way to the front. Carl Renezeder ran his Pro 4, which seemed to pay off as he made his way through the pack followed closely by newly crowned Pro 4 Champion Kyle LeDuc. Carl then rocketed into the lead down the backstretch and looked to be the only driver to repeat as winner of the Lucas Oil Challenge Cup. The Competition yellow came out and it was Carl out front, followed by MacCachren, and Kyle LeDuc. On the restart, Kyle was able to drive below MaCachren taking the second position from him to then set his sights on catching Renezeder. Kyle was able to catch up to Carl and made a move for the lead. The pass stuck it looked as if they were going to battle until the very end. As the battle heated up, Kyle looked to gain ground on the outside line in turn one, which was changed earlier in the week, and the new jump caused him to nose into the landing sending him into a violent cartwheel that ended with him landing on a retaining fence effectively finishing his race. When the checkers came out, Carl Renezeder grabbed the win to become the only repeat winner of the prestigious Lucas Oil Challenge Cup. He was followed by Rob MaCachren in second and Ryan Beat who was filling in for Carey Hart in the eBay motors/Hart & Huntington machine.
Team Associated has been "The Official RC Cars" of the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series since the season began in 2009 and we have had a wonderful time being part of the greatest show on dirt. We have seen amazing growth in the L.O.O.R.R.S. over that time, from new venues to new sponsors, the series and sport of short course off road racing has gained a lot of momentum and we are proud to be a part of it. Thank you to the Lucas Oil staff, track crew, fellow sponsors and vendors, but most importantly the fans for helping make it all possible.
A special thank you all our sponsored drivers, Carl Renezeder, Travis Coyne, Casey Currie, Robby Woods, Kyle LeDuc, Rob Naughton, Eric Barron, Chad Graham, Blake Lenk, Brooke Kawell, Carey Hart, Josh Merrell, and Ryan Beat. We appreciate all you do for us and we look forward to continuing our efforts in the 2013 season and beyond.
