Bucks day-care trial goes to closing arguments | Philadelphia Inquirer | 03/19 …

A Bucks County jury will resume deliberations Monday in the trial of a Penndel day-care operator charged in the death of Daniel Slutsky, the toddler she forgot and left to die in her van on a stifling day last summer.The jury of nine women and three men deliberated for 21/2 hours today before telling Senior Judge John J. Rufe they wished to break for the weekend, capping a long day marked by dramatic closing arguments from the defense and prosecution.
Defense attorney Michael M. Mustokoff portrayed Rimma Shvartsman, 47, as a careful person who accidentally harmed the boy; the prosecution depicted her as an adult who accepted the care of the child, then took unacceptable risks with his safety.
"Not every accident is a crime," said Mustokoff. "How could it be that somebody who spent their life caring for children forgets a child in a car?" He said the lapse was due to a "perfect storm," of stress, lack of sleep and an atypical routine.
Chief Deputy District Attorney Robin Twombly, though, said Shvartsman knew she was shattered by bad medical news she had just received last July 1, but despite that, offered to drive Daniel, 2, to Fairy Tales, the day-care center she ran and he attended several days a week.
"Knowing the stress she was under and that she had lack of sleep, she made the decision anyway," Twombly said.
Shvartsman is charged both with involuntary manslaughter and endangering the welfare of a child. To find her guilty, the jury would have to agree that she knowingly violated her duty to watch out for the child, consciously putting him at risk when she knew what the result would be, Rufe said.
If there was a "reasonable doubt" that the child’s death was a simple accident, and she didn’t know she was taking a risk, she would have to be found not guilty, he told the jury.
The boy died of hyperthermia likely two cheap domestic flights from Brisbane to Karratha hours after Shvartsman, 47, drove him in …continue reading

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Ryan Dungey raced to his fourth AMA supercross victory of the season in front of 49,082 fans at Cowboys Stadium on Saturday night.

“This was a big win for me tonight, but there are still a lot of races left to go,” said Dungey, the Rockstar Makita Suzuki rider from Belle Plaine, Minn. “The track got really rough tonight, so that kept me on my toes. I am looking forward to going to Jacksonville next weekend.”

Honda Red Bull Racing’s Davi Millsaps finished second and his temmate, Trey Canard, finished third.

Rockstar Suzuki’s Blake Bagget, of Grand Terrace, Calif., won the AMA Supercross Lites event, his first career victory.

If you thought it took a long time to get to the top of the list and take delivery on a newly-assembled Ferrari supercar, that’s nothing compared to the time that has gone in to building the brand’s first theme park. Ferrari World Abu Dhabi has been under construction for two years now, and is finally set to open its doors to the public sometime later this year. And when it does, it will be not only the first theme park in the region, but the first of its kind in the world.

The major attractions at Ferrari World Abu Dhabi will comprise some 20 rides, including two roller-coasters: one based on an F1 car, running at speeds at upwards of 200 kilometers per hour (125 mph) and shooting straight up through the massive scarlet roof structure 62 meters into the air.

The second is what you see pictured here, the GT Racing Coaster. That attraction will run two four-seat cars (styled after the F430 Spider) on parallel tracks in a race to the finish line. This is the first image we’ve received of the coaster car, and we can’t help but wonder why they don’t go with a 458 Italia-inspired car at this point. Follow the jump for a video on the park’s construction.

March 11, 2010 in Uncategorized by maryjane

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — NASCAR has announced today the television schedule for its developmental series for 2010.

The expanded calendar includes 21 events on SPEED for the NASCAR K&N Pro Series and seven races for the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour and NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour. This comprehensive package includes airing of every race on the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East and West schedules. Three of the Whelen Modified Tours will air as same-day televised events.

SPEED, anchored by its popular and wide-ranging coverage of NASCAR, is the nation’s first and only cable television network dedicated to automotive and motorcycle racing, performance and lifestyle. The NASCAR Developmental Series programming will air Thursdays at 6 p.m. ET.

“Our NASCAR Developmental Series all have a strong and passionate fan base, and we saw the results in the viewership of last year’s events and in January for our postseason showcase, the NASCAR Toyota All-Star Showdown,” said George Silbermann, NASCAR managing director of racing operations. “Our fans spoke, and we listened. We are thrilled to be able to work with our television partners to provide extensive coverage of the talented drivers and tracks that help form the foundation of this sport.”

SPEED, in conjunction with NASCAR Media Group, will air each tape-delayed race as a one-hour show. SPEED will once again provide same-day coverage of the combination event between the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour and Whelen Southern Modified Tour at Bristol Motor Speedway on Wednesday, Aug. 18, as well as the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Saturday, Sept. 18 and the NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour finale at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Thursday, Oct. 14.

Racing improves the breed. How many times have you heard some automaker PR flack spout that line in order to justify a motorsports program? When it comes to NASCAR, which is still the most popular form of racing in the United States, it’s clearly a complete fallacy. Open wheel racing, be it at Indianapolis or Monaco, largely falls into the same bucket. There is, however, one form of motorsports where there truly is a feedback loop: sports car racing like the kind on display in the American Le Mans Series.

One example is staring you in the face every time you look at the nose of a contemporary Corvette. When the C6 Corvette debuted, many fans complained about the styling, including the front air intake and the departure of the long running pop-up headlamps. The C6 brought a new larger central air intake and exposed, flush lighting. The design was influenced directly by the C5.R racing program and its need for better air-flow to the engine and brakes of the racecar. Learn more about the connection between Corvette production and racing after the jump.

With the opening race of the 2010 American Le Mans Series campaign just a couple of weeks away, the Corvette Racing team invited us out to the Pratt & Miller shop in Wixom, MI to learn more about their program and the race car. Corvette Racing is one of only two major racing program sponsorships that survived the General Motors bankruptcy with NASCAR being the other. In the case of NASCAR, relevance to product or improving the breed clearly doesn’t factor into the equation. NASCAR is about marketing plain and simple, and how effective it is for cheap flights from Brisbane to Mackay that is debatable.

Reflecting on bad luck

Mirror, mirror on the wall, whose column is the best of all? What?! Margaret Wente’s? Why, you … !

THE QUESTION: Toronto’s Jackie Phillips wants to know why, if you break a mirror, you’re supposed to have bad luck for seven years.

THE ANSWER: The ancient Romans, who were the first to create glass mirrors, originated this superstition, writes Kate Soles of Victoria.

According to the website Wisegeek.com, she says, “the Romans believed that a mirror reflected one’s soul as well as one’s appearance. Thus, if someone broke a mirror, his or her soul would be trapped inside the parallel, reflected world of the mirror.” Therefore, a broken mirror created a broken soul unable to ward off spiritual evils and unfortunate events. But the Romans also believed a person’s physical body renewed itself every seven years, so after that amount of time, the mirror-breaker’s soul would be healed.

She adds that a number of rituals were said to counteract the calamity of breaking a mirror. Since the broken looking-glass could still reflect the fractured soul, one way to put things right was to grind the mirror into dust.

Other remedies, she says, included burying the mirror’s pieces under a tree during a full moon or putting them in a river flowing south.

THE QUESTION: Considering that a declaration of war between two countries is usually done in the name of the head of state, writes Ted Dilkens of Windsor, Ont., would it be legally possible for one Commonwealth country to declare war on another when the head of state is the same person, namely the Queen?

THE ANSWER: In fact, there is precedent for our sovereign being at war with herself, writes Ian Holloway, professor and dean of law at the University of Western Ontario.

“In 1948,” he writes, “when India cheap flight Armidale to Sydney and Pakistan first went to war over …continue reading
