Lake Bell Gossip
Lake Bell gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Louis CK and Jenny Slate in The Secret Life of Pets
Louis CK is not an obvious choice to headline an animated children's film in the Toy Story mold about what our pets do all day while we're not home. But his is the leading voice in The Secret Life of Pets, in which he portrays Max, a little dog who loves his life with his human, Katie (Ellie Kemper Full Story
Monday night dinner club
SPW/ Splash
Last night at Katsuya in Studio City. That's where we all should have been. Because that's where this girls' dinner was going down: Cameron Diaz, Gwyneth Paltrow, Drew Barrymore, Lake Bell, Nicole Richie... Just yesterday G Instagrammed a photo of herself on the mountain in Utah: 20 years later and I still got it 😉🎿 #justlikeridingabike #ididntbreakanything ! @moncler @montagedeervalley Full Story
Lake Bell's wedding dress and guests
I really liked Lake Bell in What Happens In Vegas. She and Rob Cordry cracked me up. Still...I never thought I'd spend money on Lake Bell exclusive photos. But there's a lot going on here that's worth a look. First, obviously, since it's a wedding... The dress. It's Marchesa. Full Story
Why Is
Camilla Belle? It's a super fun game Duana introduced last week over email, starting a chain with me and Michelle that lasted a solid hour beginning with this question: Why is Lake Bell? "Why Is" is an art. "Why Is" does not apply to Megan Fox. You might hate her, and I might hate admitting it, but Megan Fox is not irrelevant, sorry. Full Story
He tried
And we quivered. My friend Duana was in Ireland recently for a family wedding. Being half Irish, she kinda has an Irish thing. And a Colin Farrell thing. So she's been keening for Colin and this won't help the ache… Because last night in New York at the Pride & Glory premiere, Colin Farrell actually tried. Full Story
Bitches at Sundance
Hands down, without a doubt, the two biggest bitches at Sundance – Teri Hatcher and Kristen Bell aka Veronica Mars. First Teri – saw her hangin' off her man (ex boyfriend of Eva Longoria) arriving at the Village at the Lift where the Fred Segal suite was open for business. Pappies were flashing, she seemed smug and sated about finally finding herself a fool willing to date her, and at the same time desperately aware of the absurdity of the situation – he is, after all, a decent looking man with prospects. Full Story
Worst Friend of Jennifer Aniston: Courteney Cox
No matter which way you slice it, this dress sucks donkey ass. ASS. All of it is ass - the fabric, the way it cuts off her arms, her makeup…all of it is ass. Southern. Belle. Ass. But curiously enough, those are also some very healthy looking breasts. Like expectant breasts. Shall we start a new rumour? Is Courteney Cox pregnant again? Source Full Story
Keith Urban: summoned to Australia
You might be sick of my tagline but even the most amateur of gossips, the most hardcore of Nicole believers has to concede at this point that this recent well timed photo opp, in Australia no less, is much more Conspiracy than it is Coincidence. Especially since some flooze decided to blow the top off of her long term relationship with Keith, complete with illustrations and suggestive photos, to expose the fraud that is the Kidman/Urban marriage. Full Story
Ginger & Blue
SOOO cute! Geri Halliwell with her daughter BlueBell Madonna – for the record, I adore the name BlueBell – bundled up for chilly temperatures. They look great, non? Especially Geri. In fact, since Blue, Geri has never looked better. Check her out earlier this week at a premiere in London – radiant, fit, healthy, and accompanied by Kenny Goss, George Michael's longtime lover… Faghag for life, right? Love, love, love. Full Story
How the Pitts gush
Angelina Jolie gets cheesy…who would have thought? But if there was ever a week to show a "softer" side, this would be it. Because tattoos and airplanes won't win over the MiniVan Majority and there's nothing like a cheesy, gushy, public proclamation of love to chip away at the MiniVan insecurity complex little by little. Full Story
Jennifer Aniston: a friendly black dress
Even by her standards, this is orange, non? Does she ever NOT tan? Check out Jen supporting Courteney at the premiere of Dirt on Saturday wearing…wait for it, wait for it… yes of course, a little black dress – totally appropriate on this night. Courteney, after all, is her fiercest ally, her shoulder to cry on, again and again and again and again. Full Story

Simple and delicious.
I have been wanting to make these cookies bars for quite some time. They were floating around the blog world a while ago so I put them on my "to bake list". In fact, I emailed the link for the recipe as seen on My Baking Addiction to myself to make sure I would not forget. As I have mentioned before, that list keeps on growing. Today I hosted my third annual cookie/dessert exchange and thought these cookies would be perfect to break out. I also made mint chocolate cookies which I will post later this week. The party was a ton of fun, I am thankful to have such wonderful women in my life. Anyway, back to these sugar cookie bars. This recipe makes a TON of cookies. I did not count, but I think there were over 60. They taste just like traditional cut out cookies, but are soft and you don't have to deal with the fuss of cutting them. I used my own frosting recipe, but I loved the way Jamie piped the cookies on My Baking Addiction so I piped them in a very similar fashion. Don't feel like you have to pipe the frosting, go ahead and slather it on!
Sugar Cookie Bars
recipe adapted from My Baking Addiction
1 cup butter, room temperature
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
5 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing after each egg. Add vanilla and mix well. In a separate bowl combine flour, salt, and baking soda. Add to wet mixture and mix until combined. Spread on a greased baking sheet (use a 13 x 18 pan).
Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes, until light golden brown. Cool completely and frost.
Vanilla Buttercream Frosting
recipe from Baked Perfection
2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
2 tsp vanilla
pinch of salt
5 cups powdered sugar
3-5 tablespoons milk
Beat butter and vanilla until creamy. Add salt. Add powdered sugar 1 cup at a time, beating until combined. Add milk 1 tablespoon at a time until you reach desired consistency.

It's hard to imagine what might end on the cutting room floor when comedian Mo Rocca helps two Hooters' girls bone up on the first Thanksgiving at Plimoth Plantation.
It's hard to imagine what might end on the cutting room floor when comedian Mo Rocca helps two Hooters' girls bone up on the first Thanksgiving at Plimoth Plantation.
Probably not the scene where the girls brush their teeth with fresh herbs or relieve congestion by shoving sage leaves up their noses.
Nor the scene where the girls get confused between a mortar and pestle used for grinding corn and a chamber pot used for, well, you know, and nearly end up spilling a pot of pee on the floor.
And certainly not the scene where one of the Plantation's native Wampanoags gets a long, hard kiss on the cheek so the girls can see how his red face paint would look as lipstick.
There was seemingly no shortage of laughs as Rocca and his attractive friends explored the 1627 Village, the native Wampanog homesite and other museum exhibits while studying the evolution of Thanksgiving last Saturday. Cast and crew returned Sunday for a second day of filming at Mayflower II and other waterfront attractions.
Rocca and his production crew will pare the hours of video to a five- to seven-minute piece that will air as a segment on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" Wednesday night, Thanksgiving Eve. Look for plenty of clever innuendo and double entendre, as Rocca plays schoolmaster for the most famous waitresses in Denver.
Rocca, a Harvard-educated comedian, political satirist and pundit, has found a formula for laughs with Hooters girls Kelsi Vasquez and Adiamond Baker.
Rocca met the girls while covering the Democratic National Convention in Denver. They were such naturals on camera that he featured them in segments for the "Tonight Show" at both the Democratic and Republican conventions. He later traveled with the girls to the presidential debate in Mississippi.
"It just seemed like a neat idea to get fun out of people actually learning something," Rocca said. An English literature student at Harvard, Rocca credits George Bernard Shaw with pioneering the genre in "Pygmalion." His work with the Hooters Girls, he said, "gives it a little twist and shows two very curious girls figuring things out."
The segments feature the girls getting lessons from Rocca in the finer points of history and politics. The girls take copious notes with feathered pens and ultimately test their knowledge in trivia challenges with local experts.
"Call it 'The Simple Life…with Smarts,' " Rocca said, referring to the Paris Hilton/Nicole Richie reality romps through the American heartland.
Baker and Vasquez aren't blonde, but they definitely have their moments. Consider Vasquez's confession that she used to think potatoes were actually batatoes. "You know, like mashed batatoes."But the girls are also quick and entertaining studies.
They shared amusing misconceptions about the holidays, the Pilgrims and the Native Americans yet soaked in more knowledge in one afternoon than most visitors to Plantation exhibits.
In the 1627 Village, where role-playing Pilgrims remained in character despite the lights, cameras and action, none could help commenting on the girls' less than 17th century attire.
John Kemp, a seasoned interpreter playing the role of Stephen Hopkins, credited Baker with covering her head with a hood in public, but couldn't understand why the women would be wearing men's breeches.
"Are you kidding? A man couldn't squeeze into these," Vasquez said, accusing Hopkins' eyes of lingering on her revealing neckline.
The girls got a warmer reception in the Wampanoag village, where modern-day native Americans treated them to namase, a mixture of cranberries, ground walnuts and maple syrup, and showed them how to burn out a tree to make a canoe.
Where the Pilgrims wondered at giving women voting rights, Native Americans have traditionally honored and respected their women. "You've got to respect anything that gives life," interpreter Darius Coombs said.
The girls seemed especially pleased to learn they would be considered overdressed in a native village and joked about turning off the cameras and going topless in 17th century native fashion.
The trip into the museum featured extensive lessons in the anatomy of a turkey, and the origins of the Thanksgiving holiday ended with a meeting with an interpreter who, as the Pilgrim Love Brewster, admitted to looking for a wife while showing off his prize cow. "He seemed taller on the hill," Vasquez said.

Easy access to big data sets has handed companies a very effective marketing tool. Able to create industry relevant infographics and heat maps, statistical visualizations are an important means of transforming raw data into palatable visuals for the average consumer. It may sound simple, but there are a number of complex factors involved that need to be considered and implemented to achieve the end result of a well-rounded infographic.
Here are 5 Big Data Professional Presentation Tips:
- Think like the user. Don't overestimate the intelligence of your audience. Carefully consider what they do and don't know, and make a note of this before embarking on the planning phase of your infographic or heat map. Remember that the final design should always result in a comprehensible sensory process for the reader; exciting them with an array of "visual cues" leading on from each other. In other words, confusion is the equivalent of failure.
- Compression is key. As its name implies, big data is BIG. Analysis is essential to identifying the important inferences from the none-essentials. It requires the person doing the scrutiny to separate the main points from the supplementary details. To do this successfully, you'll need to prioritise the focal outcomes, using the remainder space to supply supporting information.
- Suggest specific action. Big data usually encompasses a specific call to action. Make sure this is the standout conclusion in the testing phase of your infographic. This can be easily accomplished through highlighting trouble areas within the data sets using colour coding and similar distinguishing methods.
- Make it interactive. Allowing users to input an entry that will, upon pressing enter, generate a result, is gaining popularity. Dubbed the "interactive infographic," these types of designs can be used as the foundations of powerful digital strategies and campaigns – keeping in mind that they need to be relevant to the primary cause/point of action.
- Use layers of data. Google Maps is an excellent instance of big data layering. The interface, which exposes layers of data upon zooming in, is the perfect of example of how professionals could incorporate a lot of information without exposing their target market to sensory overload.
Integrating "Business Intelligence" into your company is essential to making informed and cost-effective decisions. A corporate sphere that requires extensive planning and proper execution, facing the challenges presented by creation, presentation, and interpretation are worth the outcomes of this complex field of research. Big data is the way of the future – embrace this integrated realm of opportunities by displaying important investigations to your visual learners.

Power the Future Report: The power of knowledge engineering in action
2015 February 04, 08:41 CEST
To power the future, companies must make technology innovation an integral part of their business success, explains Dr. Alejandro Sanz, Head of Group Technology Intelligence at SKF
Sustaining industrial leadership after more than a century of operation is a welcome challenge to SKF. Embedding knowledge engineering in services and products requires a continuous renewal of your own competences, as well as challenging yourself to go beyond the point where others stop. The question is, how do you generate, deliver and capture value based on the opportunities offered by new developments in technology?
Our business objective is to bring new knowledge and innovative value propositions to generate critical improvements in reliability and productivity for all our customers. To develop new advanced systems, solutions and service, the innovation cycle has to be continuous and loop endlessly. This can be a difficult task to achieve, but as we hope to show using our experiences at SKF, it can be integrated within existing processes to create real and sustainable business benefits.
The outside-in approach
Several factors should determine the innovation policy and management that a company implements. These include assessments on the economic effectiveness of technology investments, internal attitudes to innovation, legislation frameworks and the timing and future role of technology in industrial performance. Inevitably, these analyses are to a certain extent based on estimates of future behaviour, which gives rise to uncertainty and an associated level of risk.
At SKF, we developed the Strategic Innovation Analysis (SIA), which anticipates new market or service trends as well the expectations of the market to ensure that the company is consistently delivering value. We have recognised that strategic decisions on innovation cannot be undertaken without an intimate understanding of the relationship between the company's internal set-up (in regards to innovation, markets, managerial attitudes, technological and human resources, capital structure, etc.) and the opportunity space created in (or imposed by) the market. [1].
The company must anticipate, assimilate and integrate market trends and expectations. The external context of forces that a company has to understand includes market needs, legal & economic frameworks, competitive benchmarking, technological opportunities, and new business opportunities.
Taking the classic outside-in approach, SKF developed professional technology intelligence and intellectual asset business units to continuously monitor technology trends, the positioning of customers, competitors and markets as well as systematically screening for new partners or targets for mergers and acquisitions.
Entrepreneurs and startups are responsible for some of the most innovative and disruptive technologies and value propositions. It was once said by Nonaka [2] that, "Creativity is about divergent thinking and innovation is about convergent thinking". Following this line of thought, it can be argued that for large established businesses, having direct involvement with entrepreneurs and startups provides fresh and unorthodox approaches to technology and business. This concept is one that SKF has embraced and we have found that during discussions between our experienced business leaders and younger, smaller startups we are able to combine the best of both worlds to disrupt the market.
This type of venture involves taking non-traditional approaches to business strategy with the purpose of creating significant value to market and customers. With SKF's approach, an average of 70 startups per month are evaluated, assessed and benchmarked. Our management team receives specific updates not only on the key focus areas of interest but also in a blue-sky view. This identifies new and radical business concepts that, when combined with our own brand-promise, could lead to very different types of new offerings.
This kind of outside-in approach starts with the long term opportunity in mind by creating a new competitive space. The outside-in approach requires a holistic view of emerging trends and needs to lead towards a systematic delivery of a portfolio of concrete business growth opportunities. [2]
The inside-out approach
By comparison, the inside-out approach to innovation involves several levels of analysis, creativity and co-operation. However, the common theme that is at the heart of this approach is to think globally, but act locally.
A company's style of innovation management stems from its employees' attitudes to innovation. A deep rooted acceptance and encouragement of innovation is vital for such a culture to flourish within an organisation. At SKF for example, our focus has always been on problem-solving and invention since day one. This is evidenced in our development of the self-aligning bearing to solve the problem of bending shafts – which in turn invigorated the overall market for bearing technology. For us, knowledge engineering isn't just a motto but is market recognition of a continuous series of improvements that we have made ever since our founder Sven Winguist designed his first commercial invention. [3]
Over the years, continued sustainable investments in research and development have been critical to the growth of SKF as a company and brand. The establishment of our Engineering and Research Center (ERC) in Nieuwegein, the Netherlands, was extremely important not just for us, but for the engineering world at large, as it has inspired the development of disruptive technology such as hub bearing units and the creation of the bearing life theory that has been adopted industry and worldwide. For us, the spirit that initiated our first innovation – one of using invention and knowledge to solve a specific problem - is still at the very heart of our business.
Another important aspect of internal analysis is a screening and scrutiny of internal potential in terms of technology and resources. It's important to allow a degree of flexibility in the process, to clear a path internally for any possibilities that might arise. Using SKF as an example, innovation is considered one of the strategic pillars for the future growth of our entire business. Each of our business areas has been assigned a challenge: to create completely new and game changing offers to demonstrate future value-based leadership. To reach the growth targets that our business strategy demands, there is a need to identify and integrate internal resources while providing visible support from management to the initiatives.
As part of this inside-out approach, we launched several activities with the aim to overcome the fact that in large organisations, talented people can be located anywhere and everywhere, however they are often not connected with each other and usually lack the right network to support this. Our methodology is based on a creative process where employees, no matter where they are located globally, can submit and develop creative ideas into solid business proposals. They can do so either by using an online internal communications tool or participating at specific workshops. To give some structure to the creative process across SKF, specific strategic parameters or goals are dictated by our various business units.
All ideas that are submitted are vetted following the Real-Worth-Win methodology created by the Harvard Business School [4]. A shortlist is presented to a final evaluation board, made up of business unit directors as well as employees from product development and manufacturing. They then use the same methodology to further whittle down the selection. Any idea that is selected by the evaluation board gets the green light for forming a dedicated development team and further maturation at a dedicated boot camp. The owner of the idea is put in charge of forming an inter-functional team to attend this camp. To avoid discouragement, it's also important that feedback is provided for any ideas that aren't developed further.
The boot camp comprises of two weeks of intensive activity and includes participation of any relevant figures at a management level. The first task of this team is to develop a vision of the market. This includes an opportunity/fit analysis followed by the identification of key strategic choices. The second phase of the boot camp focusses on timing and business qualification, as well as preparation of a pitch to management at a divisional level. This initiative has proven successful in bringing valuable ideas from different countries and integrating international and complementary teams in projects with real value and impact.
A final part of our 'think globally, act locally' philosophy has been to physically expand the global footprint of SKF. We set up organisations that specifically concentrate on innovation and emerging disciplines and practices of engineering. These organisations include Group Technology Development (GTD), Advanced Development Centers (ADC) and Global Laboratories (GL). Our Global Technical Centers (GTC) give us a solid technology presence in key geographies and their activities include research and development, lab-pilots, prototypes, full-scale demos, platform integration and local specialisation.
The recipe and rules for successful innovation
In our experience, having a process that is rigorous yet flexible and interactive is key to encouraging creativity and innovation.
Figure 2 gives a view on how the different elements of innovation fit together like gears in a machine. During the development of mid-long term technology projects, it is important not to lose contact with market expectations and evolutions, particularly as new opportunities may often be uncovered during the length of such a project.
The future positioning of the company is put into execution by coordinating two types of innovation management: Strategic Innovation Management (SIM) and Continuous Innovation Management (CIM).
CIM integrates knowledge solutions from within SKF into tools, systems and service; SIM uses portfolio sources (R&D, alliances, joint ventures, partnerships) to ensure a constant renewal of the value proposition of the solution being developed. The two approaches integrate competences and knowledge from different domains to develop successful solutions. We measure our results against market and customer expectations.
One key thing that we have learned is that leaders in innovation defy convention to explore new areas. Innovation and creativity efforts must be persistent and disciplined to bring the benefits of ideas to markets in a consistent way. However, real success comes from taking into account the constraints and goals of others and integrating them with your own with one single purpose in mind: to power the future.
The highest level of value can be provided when SKF co-creates value by working directly with customers in the most demanding projects. We have found that our depth of industry knowledge compliments the new and emerging fields of engineering and related services, often to produce some of the most outstanding results. The following examples demonstrate how SKF has been able to expand the horizon of what is possible by collaborating with its customers.
Reliability in any condition and place
Operation and maintenance constitutes a significant proportion of the cost of running a wind turbine - up to 40 per cent of the acquisition price over the lifetime of a machine. Individual repairs are also potentially very costly. For this reason, turbine manufacturers and maintenance service providers are keen to adopt any technology that helps to reduce maintenance and downtime.
Black oxidation treatment has been proven to improve the reliability of bearings in a wind turbine [5]. This surface treatment process delivers improvements to performance at reasonable cost and was identified as the optimal solution to improve operational reliability. Black oxide provides protection against tribochemical attack, reduces the permeation of hydrogen and increases the resistance against moisture damage, such as standstill corrosion. In addition, it has been proven that black oxdised bearing steel surfaces extend the range of safe operating conditions compared with uncoated bearing steel surfaces.
Turbines operate in aggressive environments, so sealing is another key element to improving their reliability. Rubber excluder seals can wear out quickly as they are unable to handle the rough counterface surfaces and limited lubrication conditions common to turbine main shafts. If they fail, they leave main shaft bearings more exposed to contaminants that can cause equipment failures, unplanned downtime, and higher kW costs per hour. In many cases, replacing rubber excluder seals up-tower is very difficult or next to impossible.
The HRC1 axial excluder seal is designed to overcome these challenges. This seal is made of a special H-ECOPUR, an SKF-developed polyurethane material with excellent abrasion resistance and tear strength. The result is an axial excluder seal that delivers significantly extended service life and contaminant protection for increased wind turbine reliability and reduced maintenance costs.
Working closely with a prominent wind turbine manufacturer, SKF subjected the HRC1 axial excluder seal to an extended field trial. Following installation on 40 separate 2.5MW turbines, the seal operated continuously under real conditions. This field trial helped confirm that the axial excluder seal provides drastically extended service life compare to conventional rubber excluder seals.
Keeping the rail industry on track
Since the turn of the century the increasing demands faced by China's transportation companies have provided great opportunities and interesting challenges. China's Very High Speed Train, which at 380km/hour is the fastest train in the world, is one such challenge. The producers of the train asked SKF to explore the possibility of extending the service interval of the bearing from 800,000 km to 1.3M km. In response, SKF created the new CRU 130X240 bearing solution, which achieved a stable temperature over the full test mileage of 1.3M km and at speeds of up to 420 km/h.
For the next generation of passenger trains, with speeds of 160-250 km/h, SKF has developed a new tapered roller bearing unit (TBU). The new unit increases bearing service life by up to 40 percent compared with existing solutions. In addition, lab tests indicate a 30 per cent friction moment decrease, while patented heat treatment SKF Xbite improves overall robustness and performance of the bearing. This next generation bearing unit helps OEMs and end users to increase safety and maximise profit.
Developed directly due to customer demand and collaboration, SKF's Compact Tapered Bearing Unit CTBU) has an axle load rated to 45 metric tons, which means that operators can increase profitability by hauling more product with the same length/configuration train. This CTBU from SKF is the only heavy haul bearing rated to 45 ton operational axle load on the market. This represents a transportation capacity increase from existing 35.5 ton axle suitable for existing or new wagon fleets.
There is nothing conventional in traditional energy production
Although often referred to as traditional forms of energy, there is nothing conventional when it comes to safely extracting and conveying oil and gas from the harshest of environments. The first subsea production units will be commissioned on the Asgard gas field in 2015 thanks to the development of Active Magnetic Bearing (AMB) technology, which was only possible due to the close collaboration between SKF and leading energy companies.
Although it seems that fracking is an emerging form of energy production, SKF has been responding to demands for high pressure fracking valves for many years. For each customer and valve design, SKF developed unique low torque ball and roller screw bearings leading to high reliability valve sub-systems. Several thousands of these solutions have been implemented since and have proven to provide remarkable performance. This engineering know how and enduring technologies are now being used for the development of higher pressure applications, up to 15,000-20,000 PSI.
Within the highly demanding exploration and drilling environments, critical applications that require traditional encoding are a major source of productivity losses due to exposure to the toughest conditions. To solve this problem, SKF used its experience of robust sensing integration to develop a solution that is ideal for the application. In addition, the same technological competence and robustness has been applied to the specification, installation, operation and analysis of thruster monitoring systems, which have been approved for use for longer periods between maintenance by international certification bodies.

WASHINGTON, July 17, 2012 – Pentagon officials continue to work to avoid the looming threat of sequestration, Frank Kendall, the new undersecretary of defense for acquisition, technology and logistics, said here yesterday.
Kendall spoke to Pentagon reporters in his office about sequestration, and the effect it would have on the department and the defense industrial base.
Sequestration comes out of the Budget Control Act. Now due to take effect in January 2013, sequestration calls for $500 billion in cuts from defense on top of $487 billion in defense cuts already agreed to.
Kendall believes that additional budget reductions called for through sequestration would damage DOD's ability to defend the nation and create a hollow force.
"Cuts are one thing, but cuts in this irrational fashion is another thing entirely," the undersecretary said.
Defense industry leaders are right to be worried about sequestration, he said. "They understand the impact of this probably better than anyone else. The main impact of this will probably be on them," Kendall said.
Many defense firms are readying for sequestration with letters going to employees and general belt-tightening, the undersecretary said.
Within DOD, "the investment accounts are going to be hit hard and in a very irrational way," Kendall said. "A lot of the work we've done over the past couple of years is going to be put at risk, if not more than that."
Sequestration rules allow the president to exempt military personnel accounts from the process. If that happens, "then a greater burden falls on the other accounts -- including operations and maintenance and [research and development] accounts," Kendall said.
"Sequestration applies to funding that is not yet obligated, he said. "The reduction assigned to acquisition programs is based on the unobligated funding at the time sequestration goes into effect."
In general, this means the reduction will be applied to funds not yet on contract, Kendall said. A small subset of acquisition programs -- some research and development contracts, incrementally funded ships, multiyear contracts -- are funded year by year, he said, so they are on contract, but not all the funding is obligated up front.
"This raises the pain for everybody else," Kendall said. "We're trying to send a strong message that sequestration is just an unacceptable outcome. It's completely unnecessary, there's no reason it should occur. The Congress simply has to act to avoid it, and we're hopeful that it will."
No one on Capitol Hill thinks this is a good process, he said.
"Everyone thinks this is a bad idea, and almost everybody thinks we should do something to avoid it," Kendall said. "I haven't talked to anyone yet who knows how to do that."
The undersecretary said it is the general belief that nothing will happen on sequestration before the November presidential elections.
"There are a number of schemes that have been talked about up on the Hill," he said. "So far all of the ones I've heard about are not politically workable. There's a chance that there will be a delay in implementation, which just defers the problem."

SAN JOSE — A quick-thinking San Jose police officer who played a hunch and staked out a parking lot for 90 minutes is being credited for the arrest of a woman wanted in connection with an overnight robbery of a convenience store.
Police also believe the woman — 22-year-old Sharon Gonzalez — may be responsible for armed robberies of two other 7-Eleven stores last month.
Police arrested Gonzalez, another woman and one man Tuesday following a high-speed chase that ended when the suspect's car went off the roadway and rolled up a tree on Yerba Buena Road in South San Jose. Officers located cash, lottery tickets and a loaded handgun inside the stolen BMW, according to Lt. Mike Sullivan.
San Jose police say a woman walked into a 7-Eleven located on Foxworthy Avenue at about 2 a.m., pointed a revolver at the clerk and made off with an undisclosed amount of cash and lottery tickets, Sullivan said.
Officers responded to the convenience store, watched surveillance video and realized the woman resembled a person who robbed two 7-Eleven stores on the same night about one month ago. As police began warning other 7-Eleven stores of a possible serial robber, Officer Anthony Torres drove to East San Jose and staked out an apartment complex where he believed a stolen truck used in the previous robbery had been abandoned.
In the previous 7-Eleven robberies on April 8, police say a black Ford F-150 was used in the robberies. On that night, Torres located a stolen Ford F-150 at an apartment complex at South King Road and Rigoletto Drive, Sullivan said.
Based on a hunch, Torres went to the same apartment complex early this morning and waited to see if anything developed.
About 90 minutes later, a blue late-model BMW rolled into the parking lot. Torres shined his bright lights on the BMW, which immediately took off south on King Road, Sullivan said.
Torres, who has been with San Jose police for 41/2 years, pursued the BMW and called for backup. The BMW continued south on King Road, which turned into Silver Creek Road and eventually Yerba Buena Road. The chase reached speed of about 75 mph and ended when the BMW tried to make a hard right turn and drove into a tree, Sullivan said.
The driver and two passenger tried to flee on foot, but officers were right behind them.
Officers arrested the female driver, Gonzalez, on suspicion of armed robbery, driving a stolen vehicle, fleeing from police and resisting arrest, Sullivan said. The passengers in the BMW were arrested on suspicion of being in a stolen vehicle and resisting arrest. .
Sullivan said the gun located inside the BMW is a revolver with a long barrel and similar to the weapon used in previous 7-Eleven robberies.
"He took the time and decided to be patient and wait for an hour and a half until anything moved in that complex," Sullivan said of Torres. "It was just a great hunch. Just great instinct. Sure enough, his patience pays off."

Advanced Networking Workshops: Effective Business and Personal Skills to Meet Anyone Read More by Cesar Plata, Various Dates and Locations, San JoseI
enjoyed the seminar so much as I learned how I could improve. You have
some great suggestions that are practical and I left feeling I could do
it. Thanks again. I am paying it forward! - Antoinette WarrenI
want to thank you for giving us invaluable tips on how to effectively
network with people. I feel lucky to be able to attend your workshop,
which is one of the best workshops I have ever attended. I get more
ideas about networking because you brought up a lot of good practical
examples during the workshop. I really like how you mentioned about the
mistakes that people usually make during networking. My confidence level
is definitely the aspect that I need to improve the most. Hopefully, by
practicing I can improve my communication skills as well as enhancing
my confidence level at the same time. Thank you once again for the
positive energy and the empowerment you radiated throughout the entire
workshop. - Lilyana ChandraThank you for hosting the everyCircle Networking
101 Workshop last night. It was very informative and I got a lot out of
it. Sometimes we look at the fundamentals and say, "that's Networking
101, I know that" when what we should be asking is, "that's Networking
101, how good am I at that?" - Michael McClure, Ad Art Sign CompanyI
was present in yesterdays (06.18.2013) Networking 101 event and I must
say it was an amazing experience. You did an amazing job. I got really
good insight about my networking style and 30 sec elevator pitch. I will
work on them and will improve in future. I would surely apply the
principles, you told me and I will improve my elevator pitch according
to your positive criticisms. - Shaunak Deo, IT ConsultantIt
was great meeting you last night! I just wanted to thank you for your
time, energy and information. For as long as I've been around, I'm
amazed with how much more I can always learn. I especially appreciate
how passionate you are about what you do, and how well you express
yourself. If there are any opportunities to refer you and your
consulting, I will let you know. - Rob Ways, Vice President, Comerica Bank I
can't express enough how valuable that workshop was. I realized i had
been doing many of the good things but also many of the bad. Now that I
am aware of what needs changing I am on mission to correct it all before
my next event... - Miguel Chapeton, Palo Alto Guide, Bonobos.com You
are a wonderful host and I definitely learned a lot from the workshop. I
totally agree with your philosophy when it comes to networking because
most of the time a lot of people (which including myself and that's why I
was at the workshop) forgot about the fact that "it's not about them,
it's about the others". I am definitely taking this approach when I meet
new people moving forward because I know it will help me in the long
run. Thanks for hosting all these wonderful events. I am looking forward
to seeing you at future events to expand my businesses and build
meaningful relationships with new people as well. - Kenny Lau, Premier Banker, East West Bank Just
wanted to follow-up and thank you for a productive and enjoyable
evening. Chris and I both appreciated your philosophy, strategy, and
tactics about networking. Your tips on what to say were very helpful to
me. I wish you continued success in your business community building
here in the Bay Area. - Julia Arellano Sullivan, ProsperoLeadership.com
Cesar, I know you're a busy guy but I just wanted to thank you for the
energetic workshop you gave tonight. I learned about tips for working an
event and tips for running an event. - Robert Sharrock, Notary Signing Agent
was ThePineAppleHouse Gourmet Specialty Desserts' first mixer. We really
had a great time, made a lot of wonderful people, great first
experience for us. Looking forward to the next event..Thank you for
having us. - Tesha Wallace, Romero Laster, ThePineAppleHouse Gourmet Specialty Desserts, http://thepineapplehouse.biz

On Thursday August 16th in Oakland there will be a big gathering of East Bay business owners, with main host Cesar Plata of everyCircle.com (you may remember him from InfoBayArea). It's a great gathering designed to connect business owners. If you've ever been to one of Cesar's events, you know that it's not a superficial networking evening -- it's actually a time when you are encouraged to be real in sharing about your business, and to make connections that count. Let's get together on Thursday and touch base. I'd like to know what you're up to these days! So whether you are planning end-of-year activity, strategizing for 2013, have expertise or a service to offer, a book or creative piece or product to share, or just need to get away from the office/computer and hang out with others who are also making it happen in the world, come down and connect. Who knows - you may meet a new client or two... Or bring someone along who also can benefit! No hard sell here -- Just show up. I'd like to see you again!

OAKLAND — The chairman of a powerful congressional oversight committee sent a letter to the head of the federal fish and wildlife agency Wednesday questioning its decision to recommend charges against a Bay Point tree trimmer who injured five birds while pruning trees near a downtown Oakland post office.
In his letter to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Director Daniel Ashe, California Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Vista, also questions why no action has been taken against the U.S. Postal Service, which hired tree trimmer Ernesto Pulido for the May 3 job.
Last week, the fish and wildlife service announced it was recommending that the U.S. attorney's office fine Pulido $1,500 for misdemeanor violation of a federal law protecting migratory birds. A violation of the U.S. Migratory Bird Treaty Act can result in a fine of $15,000 and six months in jail.
"When so many government workers are offered a pass, referring and prioritizing charges against a private citizen for incidental and relatively minor injuries to a non-endangered species — commissioned by a federal agency no less — appears nothing short of bureaucratic bullying," Issa wrote on behalf of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, which he chairs.
Issa said the prosecution of Pulido is "unfair and unnecessary" and called the investigation another example of a federal agency refusing to prosecute federal employees.
Hired by the Postal Service, Pulido and a crew of workers trimmed ficus trees near the 13th Street post office, where numerous egrets and black-crowned herons nest. The birds had been defecating on mail trucks parked below the trees. Five young black-crowned herons fell some 25 feet from nests and suffered scrapes and bruises; one had a fractured beak. No birds were killed.
Issa, who represents the 49th District, which comprises northern coastal areas of San Diego County, argued that federal courts have thrown out cases when it has been shown that violations of the law were done inadvertently. Fish and wildlife investigators have said Pulido did not intend to harm the birds, and he has expressed remorse and paid for the care of the injured birds, which were taken to a rescue center in Fairfield.
Rebecca Roca, an agent for U.S. Fish and Wildlife, said the investigation is complete and will not be reopened, but the agency will respond to Issa's request for documents, including emails, related to the case.
"We've made our recommendation to the U.S. attorney's office and we are waiting on them," Roca said. "Nothing has changed."
State wildlife officials are also investigating the incident.

To foil or not to foil, this was the question on day two of the European Course Racing Championships 2009 in Douarnenez. In three out of six rounds Marc Blanc (FRA) dominated racing with a foilboard ahead of Bruno Sroka and Charles Deleau (both France).There are intense discussions of foilboard need to be separated into an own class due to the supreme lightwind performance and on longer upwind parts. Marc Blanc was able to benefit of these new type of boards yesterday, sometimes more than a minute ahead of the rest of the fleet at the upwind mark. Bruno Sroka and Charles Delau, the 2007 and 2008 PKRA course racing champions, were not able to follow on their traditional course racing boards.
After a day of very tactical racing, Bruno still remains in first after the second day, but there is more to come.
In the womens fleet, there is very close racing between local Fabienne D'Ortoli (FRA) and 2008 PKRA course race champion Steph Bridge (GBR).
"It is super motivation, every race is so close between us" stated Fabienne at the end of a busy day of racing.

Citation: Takeda, F. 2012. Innovating blackberry production system. Bramble: The Newsletter of the North American Branble Growers Association, Inc. 27(2):12-14.
Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: This article provides an overview of progress made on the blackberry production system at the Appalachian Fruit Research Station in Kearneysville, WV. Several lines of research have made a significant positive impact to the blackberry industry as the new technology has have been successfully transferred to private-sector partners. The commercial Rotating Cross-Arm (RCA) trellis, in combination with the USDA-ARS cane training system, has gained a wide industry and commercial adoption as it is being used in more than 25 states and has helped to increase blackberry acreage by approximately 200 acres in the Midwest and Northeast in the last two years. The RCA trellis and cane training system has been used in propagation of blackberry plants that offer opportunities for growers to produce blackberries in out-of-season.

By DYLAN LOVAN, Associated Press
GARRETT, Ky. - When business screeched to a halt at Jerry Howard's eastern Kentucky mine engineering company two years ago, he decided to call it quits after four decades in the coal industry.
"We were sort of forced out," Howard says of the former company, Walturn, where he was part owner.
Business owners like Howard, politicians and miners in the hilly coalfields of Central Appalachia blame the industry decline on tougher regulation from the Obama administration. They aren't as ready to talk about something a change in administrations cannot fix. The region's thick, easy-to-reach seams of coal are running out, forcing many operators to shift to cheaper and more destructive mining methods that draw heavier environmental regulation.
Coal here is getting harder and costlier to dig - and the region, which includes southern West Virginia, Virginia and Tennessee, is headed for a huge collapse in coal production.
The U.S. Department of Energy projects that in a little more than three years, the amount of coal mined here will be just half of what it was in 2008. That's a significant loss of a signature Appalachian industry, and the jobs that come with it.
"The seams of coal that are left in this area are harder and harder to mine, and they're thinner and thinner and thinner," said Leonard Fleming, a retired Kentucky miner and union leader in Letcher County who worked in the industry for 32 years.
The thinner seams make it less cost-effective for a coal operator to send an army of miners underground, so surface mining with blasting and earth movers has often been the answer.
"I've heard of them getting little seams of coal as small as six inches," Fleming said.
Coal company reports to investors are also candid about the region's steadily declining supply of coal.
Arch Coal, the nation's second-largest coal producer, told investors last year that the region's coal "is in secular decline - faced with depleting reserves and significant regulatory hurdles."
Central Appalachia saw a boom in surface mining over the last decade, helped by industry-friendly regulation under former President Bush. Hiring in eastern Kentucky and southern West Virginia doubled at surface mines over the last decade, yet overall production fell by 25 percent there in all mines under and above ground.
The federal government's projections are dire for a region practically synonymous with coal. The Energy Department's statistical agency, the Energy Information Administration, says production is expected to drop to 112 million tons by 2015, less than half of the 234 million tons mined three years ago.
A collapse of that magnitude would have a devastating effect on the economies in eastern Kentucky and southern West Virginia, which produce about 90 percent of Central Appalachian coal.
There were about 37,000 coal industry employees in Central Appalachia in 2008, accounting for anywhere from 1 to 40 percent of the labor force in individual counties, according to a report by Downstream Strategies, a consulting firm in Morgantown, W.Va., which issued a report on the region's coming decline. The report blames the decline on the region's depleted reserves, environmental regulations as well as competition from regions that have lower operating costs, like the western U.S.
"We are going to see declines in labor and jobs, and it's going to happen rapidly" in West Virginia, said Rory McIlmoil, who helped draft the report. McIlmoil said that state is expected to see a decline of over $100 million in the taxes coal operators pay to mine in the state.
If the loss projections are true, "that's going to have a drastic effect" in eastern Kentucky, said Brad Hall, president of the Southeast Kentucky Chamber of Commerce in Pikeville.
"There's approximately 18,000 to 20,000 miners in Kentucky right now," Hall said. "If those production levels go down ... you can see what effect that would have."
Industry supporters and political leaders from the coalfields have taken aim at the Environmental Protection Agency under Obama, saying its tough stance on a controversial surface mining method known as mountaintop removal is stifling production and eliminating jobs.
In 2009, the year President Obama took office, coal production in eastern Kentucky fell by nearly 19 percent from the year before, from 90 million tons to 73 million.
"I am as afraid of my government as I have ever been," said Rusty Justice, who owns a Pikeville, Ky., engineering and construction business that works with coal operators. "The policies being enacted by my government is going to destroy the economy of my part of the state."
Powerful politicians like Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear and West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin have railed against the federal government's enforcement actions against the industry, calling them a "war on coal."
Robert Ukeiley, an environmental lawyer in Berea, Ky., said industry and political leaders ignore the fact that seams in the region are getting harder to reach.
"They'll blame it on Obama and climate change, rather than just acknowledge that geology trumps economics," he said.
In one of the biggest blows to the industry, the EPA earlier this year revoked a water permit for Arch Coal's Spruce No. 1 mine in Logan County, which was to be West Virginia's largest surface mine that uses mountaintop removal. Plans for the Spruce mine included the burial of more than six miles of streams with material blasted and scraped from the mountain tops.
The West Virginia Coal Association, an industry group, said the rare act of revoking the permit "casts a dark shadow over all federal regulatory permit actions related to the coal industry in West Virginia and elsewhere." The group said the action eliminated hundreds of potential jobs.
Coal operators have also decried the regulations.
A top eastern Kentucky coal producer, Tampa, Fla.-based TECO Energy, said in its 2010 annual report that compliance with EPA standards are "projected to be very costly" and could make its "reserves no longer economic to develop."
Several coal operators and company executives, including officials from St. Louis-based Arch and TECO, were asked to comment for this story, but they declined to be interviewed by the AP.
Experts say a sign of the region's declining reserve base of coal is the steady drop in production despite the increase in hiring over the last decade. They say it's taking more labor to mine the same or less amount of coal.
Even with more workers, production dropped in Central Appalachia's underground and surface mines to 196 million tons in 2009 from 261 million in 2000 - a 25 percent decline.
"Now that tells you something, because it's not been declining in other parts of the country in that way. It tells you something about the economics of coal mining here," said Jason Bailey, a researcher at the Mountain Association for Community and Economic Development in Berea.
The Energy Information Administration said in a 2011 outlook statement that the region's coal is "extensively mined" and its higher-cost coal will slowly be "supplanted by lower cost coal from other supply regions."
Wyoming's Powder River Basin, produced about 417 million tons in 2009, more than twice the output of Central Appalachia that year.
Justice said when he was just getting into the business, an old veteran of the mines gave him some words to live by.
"He said, 'The number one rule in mining is you mine the best and then what's left is the best,"' Justice said. "They've been mining coal here in the valley for about 100 years. And the first day the first guy mined the best lump of coal he could find - that was the easiest to get."

What a parade!Uploaded: Dec 8, 2011
Riding in the Pleasanton Weekly convertible in the Dec. 3 Christmas parade, I had a different perspective on this annual event that now is in its 40th year. Sitting with Gina Channell-Allen, this newspaper's publisher and president, we were among the record-high number of 2,600 people who walked, rode and marched in the parade along Main Street. We saw many of the 25,000 who were shoulder-to-shoulder all along the parade route, cheering, waving and tooting horns. Some wore Christmas hats; many wore colorful holiday clothing as they watched the more than 90 entries (our car was No. 48). The drawback for us is that as the parade passed by, we were always in the middle, but we never saw the parade ourselves.
As we moved south on Main Street, I had a chance to tip my Christmas hat to Brian Dutchover, who has volunteered hundreds of hours as the parade chairman for the last 18 years. Dutchover, who with his father Al owns and operates Dutchover & Associates, a landscape architecture firm in Pleasanton, assumed the duties of putting on the annual parade in 1994 with the late Ed Kinney. Al Dutchover, by the way, was the city's landscape architect until Prop. 13 caused the city to drop the position and Al started his own business.
Brian Dutchover assembled a team of specialists, all volunteers, to take charge of every aspect of the event. They'll have a wrap-up meeting next week to review this year's event and then take a breather until next July, when they start planning the 2012 parade.
When Dutchover took charge, the Pleasanton Chamber of Commerce had turned over its parade responsibilities to the new Pleasanton Downtown Association (PDA). At that time, the parade was held on Thursday evening with the city-sponsored tree-lighting ceremony following. At Dutchover's recommendation, the two separate events were combined and the parade was moved to Saturday to accommodate a growing number of commuters who had trouble coming back home in time for the parade on a weeknight. At that time, with the city government involved, the name was changed to the more politically-correct Hometown Holiday Parade. From its early days with no more than 40 entries and a crowd of 800 parade-watchers, the event has become the largest in the Valley.
Dutchover counts on 115 volunteers to serve on his event staff, starting with lining up the entries in the Amador Valley high School parking lot and making sure that each "steps off" quickly as scheduled. Everyone loves a parade, he says, but not when there are block-long gaps. The Pleasanton parade is known for its fast-pace, starting at 5:30 p.m. sharp and ending in time for everyone to gather near the Museum on Main where the city's mayor and Santa flip the switch to light the "Holiday" (Christmas) tree. Lighting experts are on hand to make sure the lights power on when the switch is pulled and that microphones are in place for choral groups to sing carols and Santa to wish everyone a Merry Christmas.
So do all of us at the Pleasanton Weekly.

More than 1 in 5 juveniles at a now-defunct Joliet youth prison reported being victims of sexual assault, one of the highest rates in the country, according to a report released Thursday by the U.S. Department of Justice.
Survey results said 21 percent of inmates at Illinois Youth Center-Joliet, a high-security juvenile detention center that was closed this year in a cost-cutting move by Gov. Pat Quinn, reported they had been sexually assaulted by other inmates or had sexual contact with a staff member.
That percentage was more than double the national average of slightly less than 10 percent, according to the report, titled Sexual Victimization in Juvenile Facilities Reported by Youth.
Overall, the rate of sexual victimization in Illinois youth prisons was more than 15 percent, higher than in all but four states.
The findings shocked juvenile justice advocates, said Jennifer Vollen-Katz, director of the Juvenile Justice Project for the prison watchdog group John Howard Association. Vollen-Katz toured the Joliet facility before its closing and interviewed offenders there. She did not hear complaints about sexual assault, she said.
"We aren't there every day, and we have very little contact with (the juveniles)," Vollen-Katz said. "This is wrong. It would be wrong in a school setting. ... These are a very vulnerable population."
Female employees were involved in 90 percent of the cases of sexual misconduct by staff nationwide, according to the survey, and youths reported that staff "made the first move" in just over a third of the incidents, and force or threats were involved in one-third of cases of sexual contact with staff.
Most of the respondents said the sexual contact was with staff of the facility, with only 2 percent reporting unwanted sexual contact with other inmates. The Tribune was unable to reach a representative for the state Department of Juvenile Justice, which oversees youth prisons.
In 2011, a male guard at the Joliet youth center was sentenced to six years in prison for sexually assaulting a 17-year-old in 2008.
Although John Howard staff backed Quinn's plan to close the Joliet facility, it was because it operated much like an adult prison, overusing solitary confinement as punishment and offering few activities or programs to help rehabilitate the 255 juvenile prisoners there, association spokesman John Maki said.
The majority of juvenile offenders who would have been sent to Joliet before it closed now go to the Illinois Youth Center in Kewanee, about 100 miles west of Joliet, Maki said. The primary complaint of inmates at Kewanee, many of whom are from Cook County, is that the facility is far from their home, Maki said.
The Justice Department report shows nearly 15 percent of Kewanee inmates reported sexual victimization.
Stephanie Kollmann of the Children & Family Justice Center at Northwestern University's Bluhm Legal Clinic said the size of Illinois' youth prisons and their distance from the population centers where most of the juvenile offenders live likely contributes to the problem. Youth offenders are separated from family and have few visitors, Kollmann said.
Unlike in most other states, youth prisons in Illinois for years were run by the Department of Corrections, the same agency that runs adult prisons, rather than the state's child welfare division. The state also lacks an outside monitor or ombudsman to hear complaints from detainees.
"It's not just why are there so many abusers in a facility, the question is, why does the culture permit it to continue?" Kollmann said. "The reason we don't hear more about this is a lack of sunshine."

Equine necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 33 diseños de 10 diseñadores freelance.
For the world of equine. (Horses) The equine industry is a 102 billion dollar ecomomic impact to the US making larger that the motion picture industry.
We have built a web platform so that people who participate as competitiors and athletes can provide a portfolio and continue to update it. The platform will allow brand to seeks out athletes and allow athletes to seek out sponsors.
This site also acts as a mini-website for many athletes not willing or can build out a websiter for themselves. It will also have the benefits of an agent who has your portfolio and is hunting an presenting sponsors.
We have developers building the functionality but we need a creative and contemporary way to display that information.
There are a few elements to the web design.
First is the primary site that contains the content, call to actions, marketing messages, and all relevant informtion. This will be the landing page. This is where will will have win a sponsorships and more.

Day 3 at the 2013 African Course Racing Championships and stunning but challenging conditions delivered an impressive kiting spectacle at Soma Bay in Egypt. With winds gusting up to 32 knots, four races were held for each of the men's and women's fleets, with the reigning World Champions Johnny Heineken and sister Erika Heineken relishing the conditions to launch their attack on the leader board.
Today marked the first day of final series races for the men, who were split into gold and silver fleets. In the first race for the men, it was Joey Pasquali and Tomek Janiak that stepped off the line with a bold move – starting on port and crossing the rest of the fleet – which rewarded them both with top 10 finishes. But it was the reigning Course Racing World Champion, American Jonny Heineken who brought all his experience into play and left the fleet behind him. He was first at the leeward gate, followed by Riccardo Leccese, who at this point was still the series leader. Heineken kept his lead all the way to the finish line and celebrated victory and the start of his push up the leaderboard. Leccese did not seem so happy with his performance – but he was simply out raced. Onto the second race of the day, and again Heineken led the fleet to the bottom gate, but this time chased by Brazilian Wilson Veloso and Leccese in third. But, Leccese dug deep and passed the Brazilian to score another second place finish, leaving Veloso to cross the line in third. A repeated performance for the next two races of the finals, with Heineken continuing to claim the race wins, sees him topping the leaderboard, with Leccese in second and yesterday's overall runner up Florian Gruber, knocked down into third
In the women's fleet, the day was set to belong to Erika Heineken, who dominated by scoring one bullet after another and closing in on the series leader Steph Bridge. After a stunning performance in yesterday's lighter breeze, the young Russian Elena Kalinina could not compete against the likes of Heinken and Bridge and was left further back in the leaderboard, as she struggled to master the windier conditions. Erika was in her element, as the conditions are clearly her favourite, successfully ending her day sitting only a few points behind Bridge, with Kalinina holding onto third.
Tomorrow is the last day of the final series, after which the top ten of the men and women fleets will advance to the medal series scheduled for Friday. With just a few points separating the top kiters, racing is expected to become even more exciting as many fight for a place in the top ten. The wind conditions are expected to slightly decrease tomorrow, so the tables may turn as the lighter wind specialists have an opportunity to return to form.
