AbstractThe proposed Phase II effort develops a bio-inspired delay stall propulsor (BDSP) concept employing delayed stall unsteady lift enhancement to increase the lift on propeller blades without adding any complexity to the propulsor. The approach is simple tomanufacture, rugged, and easy to retrofit into existing designs. In Phase I, preliminary 2D simulations demonstrating concept feasibility have shown at least a 36% reduction in rotational speed at constant thrust and at least an estimated 4 db reductionin the total radiated acoustic power. The proposed Phase II effort will design, fabricate, and water tunnel test a ¿ scale technology demonstrator to provide a hardware demonstration of BDSP thrust enhancement and develop the necessary BDSP designtechnology for prototype development. The proposed Phase II options will tailor the BDSP concept for the target torpedo platform with the design, fabrication and water tunnel testing of a prototype torpedo propulsor. A key element of this prototype testis demonstration of potential acoustic signature reduction of the BDSP concept. This prototype test will provide the engineering database for rapid Phase III transition of this technology to the Navy fleet. This BDSP concept can provide greatly increasedpropeller thrust for a given propeller diameter leading to both increased speed and/or maneuverability. This technology has direct application to torpedoes, unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs), maneuvering thrusters, submarines, and other propeller drivendevices. Alternately, this technology offers reduced radiated noise while maintaining current thrust levels through both reduction in propulsor rotation speed and acoustic cancellation, which has direct application to torpedo and submarine acousticsignature reduction.In addition, this thrust enhancement technology has much broader applications in the development of high performance axial pumps, fans and compressors, offering the potential for much higher-pressure ratio devices with a reduction in moving parts. Thistechnology has the potential for reducing the size, increasing performance, reducing radiated noise, and reducing cost of a wide range of pump systems and air handling system.

I would be suprised if it was how you compiled the kernel or a change in a user-tuneable parameter that caused the problem. It was probably something that changed in your storage driver or the core I/O layers between the two kernel versions. I'm not sure what's the best way of getting the problem fixed. Complaining on the linux-kernel list might help. -- Ken Preslan <kpreslan redhat com>

I'm using Auto Post Thumbnail v.3.2.3 to generate thumbnails for posts I'm syndicating from FeedWordPress -- all of my posts come from external sources.
The setup works pretty well, but I've noted a few instances where the thumbnail isn't working or wasn't fetched at all:
1. When a special character (even a space) is in the image name
2. Some WordPress sources (but others work OK, not sure why...)
Some examples of the first problem:
My URL: http://athensi.lmhut.com/category/news/ and http://athensi.lmhut.com/category/culture/
Broken thumbnails (as of the time of this post) include:

GULF SHORES, Ala. (AP) - Visitors and business owners say crowds
are down at the start of the Memorial Day weekend on the Alabama coast although the sand is white and the water clear.
Visitors tell the Mobile Press-Register there's no sign of the oil spill out in the Gulf along Alabama's beaches.
Gary Sewell of Mobile said the traffic wasn't as bad as in the past and there seemed to be fewer people at the beach at Gulf Shores. He described the water as clear and the weather as "perfect."
The manager of The Steamer restaurant said business was slow. She said people seem to be afraid of the "oil monster."

The End of Summer
Seeing as the leaves are now turning different colors and falling off the trees, it's certainly hit me that summer has been over for more than just a little while, which also means that I'm no longer spending my days seeking out invasive plants or collecting macroinvertebrates in 80 – 90 degree weather for Mount Grace. As I look over my last post, not only do I yearn to be back at a stream under the hot sun, but I also realize that I've neglected my poor blog for quite a while.
Hopefully I can make up for it by summarizing what's happened ever since the wood duck boxes.
Let's see… Well, July was mostly spent doing invasive plant surveys at six different properties protected by Mount Grace. Doing invasive plant surveys is kind of similar to doing CR monitoring in that it entails walking through the woods without following trails. However, unlike CR monitoring, the surveys we conducted were done by walking several north-south and east-west transects of the properties (basically drawing a grid on a map and walking the lines of the grid), which can be quite a difficult task, as you never really know what you will encounter. Thinking back though, I realize that this is a very effective way of getting to know a property. Luckily, we did not find invasive plants in the majority of the properties, and hopefully the data we collected on the invasive plants we did find will aid Mt. Grace in approaching the issue on these properties.
That month we also had the opportunity to help Tom and Meghan with some conifer swamp delineation at the Arthur Iverson Conservation Area. Unfortunately, I didn't take pictures of this place, but I remember feeling as if I was in the setting of a fairy tale story. When we were there, the ground was entirely covered by moss (mostly sphagnum if I remember correctly). Had it not been so moist, it would have been perfect for a nap! There were also several other types of mosses growing everywhere along with many ferns and small flowering plants, and of course, conifers. The delineation involved looking at several aspects of the swamp, such as percent ground cover of different types of vegetation and percent canopy cover. I hope I get to do that again!
August was a bit hectic. Before our internship ended in the second week, we had to do our last round of macroinvertebrate sampling at the four streams we were working on, identify our samples and do the metrics for the month, as well as finish up our invasive species surveys and then write up the reports for both of these projects. On the last day of our internship, Tom, Davis, and Meghan took Doug and me kayaking at Tully Lake. Needless to say, this was a perfect way to end our internship (well, we still had reports to finish up…). We spent several hours at this gorgeous lake; first exploring around, then had lunch in our kayaks (with an amazing view of course), relaxed for a while (still in the kayaks), and explored some more before finally deciding that we were too numb to keep going.
A couple days later, I headed back to Austin, TX to spend some time at home with my parents and dogs before the start of classes a couple of weeks later. During the first few days, Doug and I finished up what was left to write up of the reports. I then got to enjoy the wonderful dry Texas heat and explore the trails and streams around my house, which differ largely in vegetation from those in MA of course.
Now that I'm back at Clark, I get to continue learning about CR monitoring in my Small-Scale Land Conservation class, which involves going to conserved areas in Petersham once a week. It's almost as if my summer has been extended, except for without all of the mosquitoes! In a couple of weeks, Doug and I will be presenting our LEEP projects for Mt. Grace at Fall Fest. Our presentation will involve our results from our water quality monitoring at the Otter River watershed as well as our invasive plant surveys. We'll start preparing for that quite soon!
I think that about sums up the last couple of months.

Using data from the Fragile Families and Child Well-Being Study, the present study tested whether the benefits of a marital birth for early child development diminish as parents' risk of having a nonmarital birth increases (N = 2,285). It was hypothesized that a child's likelihood of being born to unmarried parents is partly a function of father characteristics that predict his capacity to promote child development. Results partially supported hypothesis. A positive association emerged between parental marriage and cognitive outcomes at age 3 only for children whose parents were likely to be married at the child's birth, suggesting average differences between children in married and unmarried families may overestimate the benefit of marriage in subpopulations most impacted by nonmarital birth.

Forward Unto Dawn Discussion.
So what did we think of the first episode?
Also when's the second?
Prolly just next week. And it was cool. Felt very much like watching a movie.
Yeah it had great production values for a promotional video, loved seeing the warthog and marines tattoo rocked. The extended edition will be a treat to own.
Was that a banshee flying towards the training base towards the end, seemed far too quick to move left and right to be anything huge ?
Im not sure what it was. I got really into it! Cant wait for the next ep. Want to see some action and the chief. Also be good to find out how the kid fits in to the whole story.
So Lasky picked up the beacon or whatever it was that Cortana said she'd drop at the end of Halo 3, and then has a flashback when he goes through the transmission. Hmm.
From a critical standpoint, the first episode seems like a cheesy, average, coming of age story with a new skin on it.
But as a Halo fan, this is great to watch. Personally, I'd take this over a feature-length movie tie in. Forward unto Dawn (as well as The Thursday War) is PERFECT for staving off my hunger to play Halo 4.
You're right, it does basically seem like just a coming of age story with a new skin. But when that new skin involves a 7-foot tall super soldier in half a ton of power armor... I'm there! :p
it was amazing IMO
It was good...
I'm normally really cynical (as anyone who reads any of my posts would know) but I thought it was really good.
I even showed it to my dad and girlfriend, and they were impressed (even though neither of them had a halo background).
The one thing I noticed was while it's telling the human-side, I had to explain that it was set in the future. Apparently that's not readily evident from the cryo-training portion. Also a blurb about what the cortana-transmission was all about in the beginning was necessary for the girlfriend/fathers understanding.
But yea; I found it to be really, really good. Eagerly awaiting the next episode, and I'm starting to feel quite good about ordering the LE edition.
Finally got a chance to sit down and watch it last night. I can't help but wonder why the hell nobody is willing to take the plunge and produce a Halo movie. Between Landfall, Forward Unto Dawn, and all of the other live-action shorts, it's all too apparent that the production value and focus on quality is through the roof. I don't think they would let a Halo movie hit theatres that was anything short of perfection.
A little bit of background about Lansky in post-Halo 3 events. Minor Thursday War spoilers, but nothing major.
I'm not finished with the book yet and he hasn't played any sort of major role in the novel so far, but Lansky has been present within the events of the story. I will say that Lasky isn't currently in charge of Infinity as of the Novel's time-circle (Time does not go in a line. It goes in a circle. That's why clocks are round.) The ship, still being upgraded with Forerunner tech like Slipspace Communication and pinpoint slipspace navigation, is under the command of Andrew Del Rio with Lasky serving as First Mate. Parangosky, head of CINCONI, however, has expressed her desire to have Lansky ultimately in command of the ship. Lord Hood, the co-funder and co-owner of Infinity, ultimately seems to prefer Del Rio in command due to his willingness to comply with orders. (Sounds like Lasky's disobedient persona in FUD might still persist somewhat to modern day.)
why is he calling her sir?
Edit* There is also some random halo cartoon movie thing at my local video store... looks bad.
And the "random halo cartoon movie" you mentioned is Halo Legends. It's not a whole movie, there are bits and pieces that offer a different look at different time periods in the Halo universe. Some of the stuff in there is pretty good(like Origins) but some of the other stuff isn't so good. Personal opinion. It's a great watch, as long as you are interested and want to know more about the Halo universe.
It was really good,waiting for the next.
So great. I can't wait for the next episode
in what branch? I know when I served in the army we called female superior officers ma'am and male officers sir... they prolly are just showing how things have changed in the future, or maybe just showing her masculinity? lol
Overall though I thought it had some really good production features, acting could be a little better but that is whatever, graphics seem legit enough, cant wait to see the next one!!
When does this movie take place in the halo franchise, or is this a stand alone film?
Really enjoyed the first episode, just builds up the anticipation for the actual game :)
When John-117 shows up, which I believe(hope) will be this Fridays Episode. Keep in mind that he was born in 2511. Meaning Master Chief is Only 15 years old During the events of Forward Unto Dawn.
Of course, Lasky and the other Cadets(Or anyone else at the Academy) won't know this. Nobody besides Halsey and a few others know this.
I enjoyed it but I still think a full Halo movie would be incredible. Nevertheless, it was entertaining and well-made.
Is it Friday yet? I want the next episode! :p
^~is it November yet? I just want to play!!!
yea im in a toss up, do I want to watch each episode individually or just wait till the full version is released and watch it like a movie? decision decisions......

JERUSALEM (JTA) -- Thousands of Israeli university students gathered in Jerusalem to protest a bill that would provide stipends to yeshiva students.
Up to 10,000 students from universities around the country arrived by chartered buses to the capital Monday evening for the protest march from the prime minister's official residence to Zion Square.
The protesters carried signs reading "We're not suckers" and "Haredim – go to work," and chanting slogans such as "Students are worth more" and "We're hungry for bread too."
The demonstration protested Knesset approval of the first reading of the 2011-2012 state budget, which includes stipends for married full-time yeshiva students.
The amendment to the budget granting the stipends, proposed by Knesset Finance Committee chairman Moshe Gafni of the United Torah Judaism party, comes after an Israeli Supreme Court ruling in June that paying stipends to yeshiva students and not to university students constitutes discrimination.

What to Expect With Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy means treatment with chemicals or medicine. Most people use the term, chemotherapy or "chemo," to mean treatment of cancer with medicines. Chemotherapy is one of the types of treatment for cancer. Surgery, for instance, removes the cancerous tumor. Radiation therapy kills cancer cells that are in the radiation's beam. Immunotherapy helps rid the body of cancer by making the body's immune system stronger. Chemotherapy stops or slows the growth and division of cancer cells. Sometimes it takes all four of those cancer treatments to cure or control certain cancers.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- For a team that treats every possession like it is a fire drill, that deploys the no-huddle look and the three-wide receiver set as a base offense and wants to click off three or four snaps per hiccup, the Indianapolis Colts left here Sunday evening embracing all kinds of platitudes that deal more with placid than panic.
Slow and steady wins the race. Patience is a virtue. Good things come to those who wait.
In virtually every corner of the Colts locker room, following the team's key early season victory over the division rival Tennessee Titans, there was some derivation of that theme being espoused. Name virtually any adjective typically employed when describing a club that has refused to hit the panic button when facing adversity and there's a pretty good chance it was uttered by at least one Indianapolis player.
"Yeah, you can trot 'em all out, because that's really what kind of win this was," said Indianapolis wide receiver Reggie Wayne, whose seven catches for 119 yards were one of many keys to the Colts' 31-17 comeback victory. "But you know, some games are like this, where you just have to let the game come back to you. Once things settled down out there, after we took the best they could throw at us and were still in the game, that's when you saw it turn around. The big thing is, we never panicked, not once."
Not that there weren't times when the Colts, dominated in the first half by a Tennessee offense that enjoyed a yawning time of possession advantage of more than 11 minutes and that was keyed by second-year tailback Chris Brown, didn't teeter on the brink of a nervous breakdown that would have mirrored their defensive meltdown.
But by hanging in and dodging bullets, the Colts were able to stay within striking range, and then to make sufficient halftime adjustments to reverse the tempo.
The result: A third straight victory over a Titans team that, only a year ago, still felt like Indianapolis lacked mental and physical toughness. A split, bouncing back from a tough defeat at New England in the Sept. 9 league opener, of the season-starting two-game road trip. And a palpable sense that, while this remains a fairly youthful club, it has developed more than enough veteran leadership to help see it through challenging times.
Faced at halftime with its first 0-2 start since 1998, and staring at the specter of trailing the detested Titans by two games just midway through the first month of the campaign, Indianapolis responded behind those veteran leaders and some key schematic tweaking. Since 1978, just 20 of the 192 teams that opened a season 0-2 recovered to qualify for the playoffs, and the Colts didn't want to battle those kinds of odds.
Said head coach Tony Dungy, with a pithy explanation of his club's sudden turnaround, and with obvious pride in what had just transpired: "Our team just didn't panic. We have enough veteran (leaders) that they know what it's about."
Led by Brown, who has replaced the sainted Eddie George as the Titans' starter, and who pummeled the Colts defense for 104 first-half yards on 19 rushes, Tennessee controlled the pace from the outset. The Titans scored on the opening possession, with Brown going 20 yards after stepping out of a tackle in the hole and making a marvelous cutback to his left, and rang up huge first-half advantages in first downs (13-8), total yards (201-114), time of possession (20:44-9:16) and total snaps (41-22).
That the Titans led by just 10-3 at the half was attributable to their own inability to finish off drives and to the tenacity of a malleable Indianapolis defense. A goal-line stand, on which Colts linebackers Rob Morris and David Thornton stopped Brown on a fourth-and-goal from the 1-yard line, staunched the bleeding. Then, at halftime, the Indianapolis staff incorporated superb changes on both sides of the ball, and Dungy reminded his club that, being dominated in the first half didn't necessarily augur poorly for the second.
While he didn't verbalize on the sideline the need for patience in the first half, the always nonplussed Indianapolis coach used the intermission to note to his players that they had probably survived the worst and were still very much in the game.
"We self-destructed a little bit (in the first half)," Dungy said. "We didn't get them into third-down situations. We felt like, if we could get them into long yardage (situations), we could rush them. . . . In the second half, we played our game."
Indianapolis drove 75 yards on its first possession of the third quarter, tying the game at 10-10 on Peyton Manning's five-yard touchdown pass to Wayne. And then, after falling behind again 17-10, the Colts found the end zone on three of their next four series.
On defense, the Colts slowed Brown by playing a little more Cover 2 and committing one more safety, usually Cory Bird, to the run. It didn't hurt, either, that Brown got just seven carries in the final two quarters. Offensively, coordinator Tom Moore, knowing the Titans were principally playing eight defenders in the box, and gambling on the outside in single coverage, opted to throw more and put the run on the back burner.
Consistently in the second half, Wayne and Marvin Harrison defeated the single-coverage of the Tennessee corners, and their performance finally opened up the running game. For the second half, Wayne had four receptions for 78 yards, including a crucial 17-yard grab that helped dig his team out of a second-and-20 hole. Tailback Edgerrin James, who has run hard in each of the Colts' first two contests, blasted for 100 yards in the second half, and had scoring bursts of four and 30 yards.
"We had them on their heels in the first half," said Titans safety Lance Schulters, "and we couldn't put them away. They made big adjustments and made big plays."
The irony of the halftime alterations was that, in the first half, when the Colts mostly used their three-wide receiver set so that Manning could better identify where the blitzes were coming from, Indianapolis had problems throwing. In the second half, going to more two-tight alignments, both the passing and running game started to click. And once the Titans were forced to play more zone, Manning and Moore could orchestrate a far more diverse attack that seemed to have an answer for every Tennessee gambit.
"Coach Dungy kind of calls it, 'doing what we do,' and that's really what it is," Manning said, after finishing with 24 completions in 33 attempts for 254 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. "I mean, early on, the way they were running the ball on us, I kind of said to our guys on the sideline, 'We may not get many possessions today and we're going to have to be really efficient on offense.' But there's a big difference between a sense of urgency and panic. We always have the first but (rarely) the second."
There were, to be sure, some brilliant Colts individual performances: All of the skill position players on offense. An incredible end zone interception by Nick Harper on a play where he simply pilfered the ball from Tennessee wideout Derrick Mason. Thirty-five combined tackles by Morris, Thornton and Bird. An over-the-shoulder catch by Harrison on which he adjusted perfectly to the ball, placed by Manning just between free safety Schulters and cornerback Samari Rolle.
But mostly, for the Colts, it was a team victory born of resilience by a team weary of all the talk of finesse over physicality.
"We're pretty tough and pretty tough-minded," said Wayne. "Anyone who can't see that, well, take a look at what happened here today."

Wow.. big news for us. Its been a few months now of being engaged. We set a date, put a wedding budget together and have booked the venue already. As for the big news... its not just my guns and ammo budget that's up in the air.. We just found out my fiance is pregnant. I am going to be a daddy! I already play one on TV (already have a future step daughter that I treat as my own), but this is definitely a big step. I am so happy! Timing wise, we're doing it out of order, but it sort of works out as we had already set a date for fall of 2013, so the baby will be born well before the wedding. Of course, we set a date that far out because we wanted to be able to finish saving up to pay cash for the wedding so our finances are going to be an issue with paying for baby stuff on top of all that.
As for my fiance's take on guns... she is "supportive". As long as our other financial needs are met, she doesn't really have an issue with me buying more guns. Its pretty safe to say, our current financial concerns dictate I hold off any major purchases (guns or otherwise) for a while. She is from a very gun unfriendly state, and has not been around guns or gun culture growing up. She has gone to the range with me, but isn't comfortable with carrying a gun herself. She does like my role as the "protector" and that I carry to protect the family. I can't always be there to protect the family, so I have gotten her some personal protection items so she at least has something when I am not around. She generally is really good on SA and doesn't go out alone at night, venture into less safe areas without me, etc, so I am not overly worried.

South Royalton family welcomes first baby of new yearStaff Report | January 03,2013
RANDOLPH - Sara Bowen and fiancé Shawn Sedor of South Royalton were the first to welcome a baby in the new year at Gifford Medical Center in Randolph.
Bowen gave birth to daughter, Kaydence Sedor, on Jan. 2 at 10:29 p.m. A gorgeous and healthy Kaydence weighed in at 7 pounds 12 ounces and is 20 ½ inches long.
She is the couple's second child. Two-year-old Cassidy Sedor was also born at Gifford.
The family was excited to have the first baby of the new year. "It's really cool, actually," said Bowen.
But they were more excited with the newest member of their family, regardless of her birth date.
"I'm lost for words. I love my kids. They're amazing. (There's) nothing better than to have kids," said Bowen, who was originally due to give birth on Dec. 28.
"I'm just glad that she's healthy. We are lucky to have this blessing in our life," Sedor said.MORE IN This Just InLOS ANGELES As throngs of Pokemon Go players traipse around to real-world landmarks in...

- 25 July 2013
- From the section Beds, Herts & Bucks
A large quantity of champagne has been stolen in an "audacious" raid at a warehouse in Hertfordshire.
A lorry driver arriving at St Martin's Road, Hoddesdon, was flagged down by a man in a high visibility vest and told all warehouse loading bays were filled.
He was directed to nearby Ratty's Lane where the champagne was loaded into a box van but no violence was reported.
Police have appealed for witnesses to the theft which happened on Tuesday between 07:15 and 08:30 BST.
The raiders' box van was driven away along Essex Road to the A10, police said.
Officers have urged anyone with any information about the theft to contact them.

Decided to play Ninja Gaiden Black. I never played it until now since I played the original xbox Ninja Gaiden and beat it. I ran the original Ninja Gaiden from the HDD and completed the game fine years ago.
I got two Xboxes both v1.1 TSOP flashed, one w/ a samsung and the other with a philips drive. Copied Black with the samsung box using dvd2xbox v0.7.8. The game keeps freezing on me in chapter 4 in the alley passing a gate with all the colored stones on it and a chest right above it. Tested it in both xboxes and still the same freeze. I even tried other copies to load up and yup, still occurring.
I just wanted to know if anyone had any issues playing Ninja Gaiden Black from the hdd?
I know it would be a hassle but if you could, can anyone check this with their copy? I can send the save and trainer file to run it if needed. Just a heads up....the save file would require knowing how to find the save folder on the E:\ drive on the xbox. PM me if anyone can help out. Thanks!

Warriors point guard Stephen Curry scored 16 of his game-high 28 points in the fourth quarter to lift Golden State over the Los Angeles Clippers, 106-99. With the Warriors offense needing a boost, Curry got hot from 3-point range, knocking down four in the final period. Golden State (25-15) wins the season series over the Clippers 3-1, which could have playoff implications. The Warriors are six games back of Los Angeles (32-10) in the Pacific Division.

Hello There,
I am looking for some best practices when it comes to clients (almost always people with zero technical skill) wanting to have jump anchors scroll to the appropriate content on the page. What is the best way of doing this?
In this case the client wants their page to look like this:
-jump links
-content with anchor tags
I was figuring I could have then enter the titles of the jump links as a custom field, and then use a bit of Javascript to determine which link they clicked on and then go to the appropriate header tag. So a user would click on the second link, Javascript would figure that out and then scroll down to the second h3 tag in the content area.
Are there better ways of doing this?

An ocean world orbiting an Earth-like planet. Created in Photoshop CS5. Trying a different technique, any tips for improvement would be greatly appreciated.
This is pretty cool! Nice picture, maybe one day we will discover another earth-like planet.
It's a nice piece, but if you're looking for tips and improvement, I would make the close up planet we're orbiting a bit less uniform in color and on the more distant planet, I would emphasize the blue hue because the green should not stick out as much... Anyway, nice composition and piece overall!
Sorry for the very late reply. Okay thank you, I will keep that in mind for my next space art.
It's so calm and serene, I can feel myself falling out the chair in a slow and relaxed fashion.
Nice! Love that blur haze...

By Mr. Tim Hipps (FMWRC)November 8, 2010
MESQUITE, Nev. - U.S Coast Guard Ensign Ryan Hixson won his fourth consecutive Military Long Drive Championship presented by 7UP with a winning drive of 358 yards Nov. 3 at Mesquite Regional Park.
Hixson put the winning ball on the grid with his first drive in the final round of the Army Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation Command event against challenger Chief Warrant Officer 2 Rocky Alumbaugh of the Florida Army National Guard at Cecil Field, Fla.
It was the only swing Hixson needed in the final round to maintain his crown.
"I told myself when I hit my first three it was going to be my last three," Hixson said. "Once I hit it 358, I didn't think Rocky had 358 in him."
Alumbaugh was not sure, either.
"He hit a low burner, wow, he killed it," Alumbaugh said of Hixson's winning drive. "He put a big number up there and just made me try harder to get a hold of one. It was nerve-wracking. I could barely tee up the ball."
Hixson's second and third shots of the final showdown were out of bounds, but his 358-yarder topped Alumbaugh's six-ball, final-round best of 328 yards, which allowed Hixson to forego his final three swings of the night.
"They were climbers," Alumbaugh said of his drives of 315, 325, 298, and 328 yards in the finale against Hixson. His other two shots were out of bounds. "The wind picked up, I got too much spin on it, and they just started climbing into the wind.
"I wasn't hitting them as good as I was earlier, but I had my chance. I'm happy. I can't complain."
Hixson was atop his game from the outset, posting marks of 376, a tournament-best 387, 354, 378, 365 and another 387 in the first round of competition.
"I was really focused this year and determined to win," explained Hixson, whose post-victory interview was briefly interrupted by reigning Australian Long Drive champion Mark Bylsma, who stopped by to belly dance for the four-time U.S. military champion. "He told me earlier today, 'Captain America, if you win tonight, I might do a special dance for you.'"
Hixson also received a trophy, $10,000 and an exemption into the 2011 RE/MAX World Long Drive Championships powered by Dick's Sporting Goods.
Hixson was the only Military Long Drive competitor who kept six balls on the grid in the first round. He followed with four more - 319, 354, 355, 344 - in the second round before hitting back-to-back out of bounds shots.
After two rounds, Air Force Capt. Mikael DuBois, 28, of Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma City, was in second place with a longest drive of 367 yards. He was eliminated in the semifinals by Alumbaugh, who outdrove DuBois, 346-327, for a shot at Hixson in the finale.
In the other semifinal pairing, Hixson escaped by one yard. His 363-yard drive nipped a 362-yarder by Army Staff Sgt. Kelsey Steiner, 31, of Camp Hovey, Korea. Hixson, however, did not need his final three swings to advance.
"I was like, shoot, I've got to go up against Ryan now," Alumbaugh said. "I've got to focus."
Alumbaugh, whose stocky build and tee-box demeanor resembles that of big-screen boxer Rocky Balboa, elicited several classic one-liners from the crowd, such as 'C'mon, Rocky, do it for Adrianna.'"
Alumbaugh blocked everything out and heard nothing but "silence" in the early rounds, but he appreciated the verbal support in the finals.
"The crowd out there supporting me, that was awesome," Alumbaugh said. "I've never had anybody scream for me like that. That truly was a once in a lifetime experience and I really appreciate it.
"This experience probably ranks top two in my life behind marrying my beautiful wife, Jessica," added Alumbaugh, a maintenance test pilot for CH-47 Delta helicopters. "She's an IS1 in the Navy. She works in intelligence. You know how they say opposites attract' It's true in our case."
Alumbaugh, whose game plan was to "tee it up high, swing hard, and see what happens," was overwhelmed by the outpouring of support throughout his week in Mesquite.
"I can't get enough of people coming up and saying 'thank you for what you do,' he said. "That's the best feeling.
"Last weekend, I was at an air show in Jacksonville, Florida, and a little girl came up to me with these little coins that said 'I salute you. Thank you for your service.' She popped to attention, cut me a salute, and handed me a coin. If that doesn't put a tear in your eye, I don't know what will."
Conditions were almost perfect for the event with temperatures in the upper-70s to low-80s and a headwind of about 15 miles per hour.
The 2010 Military Long Drive Championship will be televised Dec. 25 on ESPN.
The semifinals and finals were head-to-head competitions. The results after the quarterfinals of the 2010 Military Long Drive Championship presented by 7UP on Nov. 3 in Mesquite, Nev., were:
1. Coast Guard Ensign Ryan Hixson, Naval Air Station Corpus Christi, Texas, 387 yards;
2. Air Force Capt. Mikael DuBois, Tinker Air Force Base, Okla., 367 yards;
3. Florida Army National Guard Chief Warrant Officer 2 Rocky Alumbaugh, Cecil Field, Fla.,

4. Army Staff Sgt. Kelsey Steiner, Camp Hovey, Korea, 366 yards;
5. Coast Guard Petty Officer 1st Class Nathan Damon, Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md., 363;
