Monsanto's search for America's Farmers Mom of the Year is back for 2012, along with a $10,000 grand prize.
Anyone can nominate their favorite farm mom by visiting AmericasFarmers.com by April 23 and submitting a 300-word essay explaining how she contributes to her family, farm, community and agriculture. Five regional winners will be selected by a panel of judges from American Agri-Women and Monsanto. Profiles of the regional winners will be posted to AmericasFarmers.com, where online voting will determine the national winner to be announced on Mother's Day. All regional winners will receive a $5,000 cash prize from Monsanto; the national winner will receive an additional $5,000.
"Monsanto is thrilled to recognize the nearly 1 million female farmers in the U.S. who help provide food and fiber for our growing global population while raising the next generation of American farmers," said Consuelo Madere, America's Farmers Mom of the Year spokesperson and Vice President, Monsanto Vegetable Seeds and Asia Business. "Mother's Day is the ideal time to reflect on all that farm moms do to enhance our lives at home, in our schools, on our farms, in our rural communities and beyond. It's an honor to pay tribute to these amazing American women."
Nominations were received from 47 states in 2011. Last year's national winner, Bette Lu Lerwick (with husband, Ron, and in partnership with son, Monte, and his wife, Megan) raises wheat, corn, dry beans, hay, sunflowers and beef cattle on the high plains of Wyoming. "I don't view the America's Farmers Mom of the Year title as recognition for me in particular, but as an honor for all farm women, past and present, who could win this hands down," Lerwick said.
A highlight of the experience for her was accepting the cash prize and receiving a standing ovation from an audience that included Wyoming Gov. Matt Mead and Sen. John Barrasso.
Last year's regional winners were as diverse as the farms they operate, from a California dairy operation to a Maryland vineyard. These women used the America's Farmers Mom of the Year title to extend their mutual passion for agriculture beyond their respective communities. This included speaking at national industry conferences, launching blogs and participating in webisodes to give consumers a peek into daily life on the farm. They have been featured in national print publications and have been recognized by their state associations—and even on the floor of their state House of Representatives.
"The incredible contributions that America's farm families make to their communities, our economy and to society is easily overlooked these days, when so few of us have the opportunity to spend time on a farm. Who better to bring these stories front and center than farm moms?" Madere said. "If your life has been touched by a farm mom, I encourage you to nominate her."
Complete eligibility requirements and official rules for America's Farmers Mom of the Year can be obtained online at www.AmericasFarmers.com or by sending a self-addressed, stamped envelope to America's Farmers Mom of the Year, 914 Spruce Street, St. Louis, MO 63102.
America's Farmers Mom of the Year is an element of Monsanto's America's Farmers program, an advocacy effort promoting, recognizing and supporting U.S. farmers through communications, awards and special programs that highlight the importance of agriculture.

More Ruthless: William Pawley
MORE RUTHLESS THAN THE ENEMY: The Dark Diplomacy of Ambassador William Douglas Pawley
David Price Cannon
began researching the life of Ambassador William Douglas Pawley in 1974. An aviation pioneer in Cuba and China. Founder of the Flying Tigers. Global entrepreneur. Diplomat in Peru and Brazil. Advisor to President's Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower and Richard Nixon. An architect of U.S. covert policy. Coup plotter against governments in Guatemala and Cuba. A CIA covert agent. An organizer of Cuban exiles for the Bay of Pigs Invasion. A critic of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy. A friend of Clare Boothe Luce, CIA Director Allen Dulles, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, Senator James Eastland and foreign dictators. A name high on the witness list for the U.S. House Select Committee on Assassination's hearings at the time Pawley committed suicide.
Although an Ambassador and a friend of Secretary of State George C. Marshall, William D. Pawley despised those in the State Department who believed diplomacy was superior to sabotage and subversion in Russia, Guatemala, Cuba and China. He fed his own paranoia and became its most vocal advocate.
When President Kennedy failed to provide air cover during the Bay of Pigs invasion and hinted at detente instead of bombing Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis, William Pawley not only criticized him but then partook in a project to discredit JFK. When Lee Harvey Oswald was barely known, Pawley, Clare Boothe Luce and their associates claimed Oswald was working for Castro.
Counting Richard Nixon as an ally against communism, Pawley contributed heavily to his campaign and was stunned when President Nixon opened diplomatic talks with communist China, Pawley's enemy of 40 years. He soon titled his own biography
Russia Is Winning
and not long after its completion committed suicide. In the end, William Pawley who built planes in India to fight an airwar over China was unable to fathom that diplomacy could transform Mao's China from communism into one of the most powerful capitalistic societies in the world.
This site outlines the content of the in-depth research David Price Cannon has accumulated about William Pawley. Queries should be made to
Researching Pawley's life took decades because hundreds of documents relating to his covert activities during the 1950s and 60s were classified for three decades. They were finally made available through the combined efforts of the Mary Ferrell Foundation --
-- which provides online access to more than one million pages of declassified documents. The majority of them come from the Assassination Archives and Research Center in Washington DC, run by James Lesar:
Many additional details about William Douglas Pawley were found in the Pawley Collection at George C. Marshall Library in Lexington, Virginia:
The Flying Tiger years of Willam D. Pawley in China are illuminated by Daniel Ford:
William D. Pawley: The Extraordinary Life of the Adventurer, Entrepreneur, and Diplomat Who Cofounded The Flying Tigers
by Anthony Carrozza.
Now available at www.amazon.com -- Carrozza's March 31, 2012 release includes insights and photos from the Pawley family. Among the highlights is a photo of the Pawley brothers with Richard Nixon and Bebe Rebozo taken during a visit to the Talisman sugar cane operation. I highly recommend Carrozza's book for those who want to know more about the 20th century's most interesting man in the world.

Sometimes the best investment is to buy high and sell higher.
According to Jim Cramer, that may well be the case with Bank of America. The stock, he says, is a buy, right here.
"Mainly, it's because of the sector," said Cramer. Remember, about 50% of a stock's movement has to do with its sector.
And Cramer thinks 2013 could be a terrific year for the big banks.

WolfKing Trooper MVP Gaming Mouse Review
There are many ways to market and sell a product, and one of most popular ways these days is to label something as a gaming product. They usually come in flashy colors, and are often covered with multi-coloured LEDs, anything to catch your attention! When it comes to mice, there are tons and tons of different models to choose from, but what makes them different from each other? Some of them are now using a laser to track movement, instead of the LED used in optical mice, or a ball in older mechanical models - or even wheels for the really old school people! Laser technology mainly allows for more precision, so it makes great sense to use it in a gaming mouse, which is what I will be looking at today - the WolfKing Trooper MVP.
WolfKing has been around since 2001, creating various gaming input devices including keyboards, keypads, and yes, mice. According to them, the Trooper MVP is "the latest in gaming technology." It features on-the-fly DPI switching, up to four shots per click, lightning fast response time, and extreme accuracy. Let's see if WolfKing's mouse truly lives up to its claims!
Closer Look:
The retail box isn't the flashiest ever produced, but it is also far from the usual bland packaging companies use for low end mice. The black and red color scheme WolfKing went with has a low profile look to it, while still being an eye-catching box. The front showcases the main features, and all the important information about the Trooper MVP is found on the back side of the box. It seems like the mouse has what it takes to hang out with the big boys!
The mouse is well protected by a hard plastic molded shell. There are very few extras included, simply a CD with a basic mouse driver, the manual, and four spare rubber feet, in case you travel more than the rated 250 kilometers on the stock ones!
Let's take a closer look at the mouse itself now!

and above all if they should ever be mothers when they feel their inability to direct and assist the pursuits of their children they will then find ignorance a severe mortification and a real evil let it an imate their industry and let not a modest opinion of theircapacities be a discourage ment to their endeavors after knowledge a moderate understanding with diligent and direct application will go farther than a more lively genius if attended with that impatience and inattention which two of ten attend quick parts it is not for want of capacity that so many women are such trifling and insipid companions so ill ! qualified for the friendship and conve rsa | tion of a sensible man or for the task of j instructing or governing a family ;

Reinforced glass panels are amongst the latest China quality manufactures to begin mysteriously exploding, in this case dropping the unfortunates who walking over it into the depths below.
The reinforced glass panelling was being used to pave a section of street in Sichuan province.
Two men walking over the glass fell 5m into the car park below when one of the sections "exploded."
Journalists found many other cracks in the glass walkways nearby, suggesting the problem was not limited to the one panel.
The quality of the "reinforced" glass used has immediately called into question the wisdom of using a certain much trumpeted elevated cliff walkway elsewhere in China:


text: The 10 Most Beautifully Designed New Restaurants\nWe've surveyed the globe to find the best new restaurants where high design tops the menu.\nDOHA, QATAR\\n\\nVisitors to the Astor Grill at the St. Regis Doha are sure to be amazed. Although the restaurant's name—a tribute to the hotel chain's founder, John Jacob Astor IV—conjures images of old New York, the interiors, designed by Rockwell Group Europe, are anything but. At the entrance, a 16-foot-tall curved sculptural installation, inspired by the work of British artist Tony Cragg, wraps across one wall with a spun-bronze profile that has a cutout niche for a banquette. astorgrilldoha.com\nIn the main dining area hangs a striking ceiling installation made from a surprisingly humble material—short strips of pine. By layering hundreds of pieces tightly together, the installation has a rich textural effect that is much more than the sum of its parts. The wood adds warmth, but liberal applications of red—from the leather-clad seating to the lacquered walls—really set the room on fire.\nPARIS, FRANCE\\n\\nThere's another reason to visit the Marché aux Puces de Saint-Ouen, the largest and most famous flea market in Paris, which has nothing to do with negotiating a deal on antique furniture—Ma Cocotte, the bustling new restaurant designed by Philippe Starck. Featuring a casual, eclectic interior furnished largely with objects Starck sourced from the neighboring Paul Bert and Serpette markets, it's an ode to a world of intriguing and unusual finds. macocotte-lespuces.com\nThe restaurant has two levels. The ground floor dining room is enclosed by garage doors that can open up to an outdoor terrace on sunny days. Upstairs there are two additional spaces that feel as warm and inviting as living rooms, as well as an elevated terrace. However, few diners will want to rest for long. Stocked with sculptural objects and distinctive vintage goods, the interiors prime patrons for the discoveries that await them just outside. **\nNEW YORK, NEW YORK\\n\\nAt the NoMad hotel, French designer Jacques Garcia has fashioned a restaurant and bar as layered, plush, and richly detailed as a European grand hotel. Using sumptuous materials and meticulous craftsmanship, Garcia conjured a sense of history and tradition. Step up to the 24-foot-long mahogany bar, which is guarded by carved elephants, and you get the feeling this place is here to stay. thenomadhotel.com\nSet apart from the main dining area, the cozy fireplace room offers an intimate escape. The centerpiece is an ornate antique stone mantel imported from a French château. Finished in deep reds, floral patterns, and with plenty of lush upholstery, the room exudes warmth—even when the fire isn't roaring.\nBERLIN, GERMANY\\n\\nThe first restaurant outside Spain for renowned Catalonian chef Paco Pérez, 5-cinco is located in the chic new Das Stue hotel. The hotel inhabits a former Royal Danish embassy built in 1939, and the interior public spaces, designed by Patricia Urquiola, feature stately, sober architecture updated with dramatic contemporary details—including a crocodile head sculpture in the lobby. If visitors feel compelled to stay awhile, it's perfectly natural—Das Stue is Danish for "living room." das-stue.com\n5-cinco's formal dining room doesn't take itself too seriously. A haphazard arrangement of copper vessels swarms a cluster of Tom Dixon copper pendant lamps, creating a striking focal point that reflects the energy of chef Pérez's home country.\nDA NANG, VIETNAM\\n\\nDevised by Bangkok-based designer Bill Bensley as part of the Intercontinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort, the interiors of La Maison 1888 offer a spirited take on French Colonial architecture, focused through a contemporary lens. As its name suggests, the restaurant is situated in its own grand "house" on the property. Illuminating the main staircase are pendant lamps made to look like Vietnamese birdcages, complete with the shadows of imaginary feathered friends. danang.intercontinental.com\nThe dining room decor is traditional with a twist, as evidenced by the Louis XVI–style chairs with backs and armrests that have been updated with a fanciful scroll motif. A high-contrast black-and-white palette grounds the space and sets off leafy green tropical plants. The French Colonial flavor is a perfect match for the cuisine—classic French cooking by chef Michel Roux. **\nROMSDAL, NORWAY\\n\\nSited at the foot of the Trollveggen, or Troll Wall, the highest vertical rock face in Europe, the visitor center and cafeteria has a dramatically angular roofline that was inspired by the craggy mountains that surround it. Designed by Oslo architect Reiulf Ramstad, it's an eye-opening addition to the pristine parkland. No stranger to working in such picturesque locations, Ramstad has completed a number of breathtaking modernist interventions at Norwegian tourist stops. visit-trollveggen.com\nThe dining area is all about the view. A simple cafeteria offers burgers and other casual meals, and visitors are free to pull up a chair wherever they please. In good weather, the best seats are on the terrace or the integrated bleachers. But even when precipitation or cool temperatures force people inside, the glass walls and steeply angled roof ensures that the architecture doesn't impede sight lines to the sky.\nNEW YORK, NEW YORK\\n\\nFor an intimate dining experience it's difficult to outdo Atera—a snug restaurant in Manhattan's Tribeca neighborhood with just 18 seats in its main dining room, most of which surround the bar counter. The interiors, by Parts and Labor Design, a New York firm started by two AvroKO alums, are a mix of earthy and industrial, with live-edge walnut slabs, handblown glass, concrete, brass, and stainless steel. It's an ideal match for chef Matthew Lightner's experimental culinary approach, which mixes foraged ingredients with inventive cooking techniques. ateranyc.com\nDownstairs, a study, where Lightner dreams up new dishes, does double duty as a private dining room that can host large parties. A wall of white subway tile and an industrial-style table and custom-made school chairs strike a utilitarian note, but the room is warmed up with leather club chairs and wire-glass–paneled doors.\n__LONDON, ENGLAND\\n\\n__\\n\\nBrasserie Zédel's bones are nearly 100 years old. The restaurant was originally part of the Regent Palace Hotel, Europe's largest hotel when it was completed in 1915. In the '30s it was given an Art Deco overhaul by architect Oliver Percy Bernard. Although the interiors suffered plenty of abuse in the years that followed, they have been meticulously repaired and thoughtfully updated by London's David Collins Studio, while Donald Insall Associates, specialists in historic restorations, rejuvenated the fabrics. brasseriezedel.com\nSince opening in the summer, the restaurant has become a runaway success, thanks to its authentic design details and affordable French-brasserie fare. However, don't just go for the food. There's also the Crazy Coqs, an adjoining cabaret and jazz club, and the impressive Bar Américain (shown here). The bar's graphic motif, repeated on the wall covering, is a streamlined image of an airplane that recalls a more romantic age of travel. Today the room offers a different kind of trip—time travel to 1930s Paris.*\\n\\n *\nBASEL, SWITZERLAND\\n\\nFor a bar and brasserie designed by avant-garde architects Herzog & de Meuron, Volkshaus Basel appears surprisingly restrained. But that's the point. Built in 1925 to house a concert hall, restaurant, hotel, and library, years of renovations and modifications had obliterated the building's initial character. Rather than add yet another new layer, the architects peeled back as many of the alterations as they could to restore the building's architectural identity, and then took design cues from the original structure and archival photos. volkshaus-basel.ch\nWhen Herzog & de Meuron needed to incorporate new elements, they focused on subtle interventions. To hide ductwork for a contemporary HVAC system in the brasserie (shown here), they doubled the number of ceiling beams. Where the room used to be divided by partitions that have since been lost, they installed high-back seating booths that have a similar effect. Even the chairs are based on the originals, but with a quirky high-tech touch—each has a slightly different backrest, achieved through computer-aided production. **\nST. HELENA, CALIFORNIA\\n\\nFrench Blue has an easy, breezy, summery feel that's perfectly suited to its Napa Valley location. That's no revelation when you know who's behind it—the space was conceived by AD100 architect Howard J. Backen, who has designed a number of California's most distinctive wineries, along with his interior designer wife, Lori. Not only did they create the space, they're also partners in the restaurant, which specializes in dishes based on local seasonal ingredients prepared by chef Philip Wang. frenchbluenapa.com\nBacken has a reputation for designing buildings that blur the distinction between indoor and outdoor space, and French Blue is no different. Here, tall windows can be opened to unite the dining room with a generous patio equipped with an outdoor fireplace, while woven dining chairs look like they could be carried outside at a moment's notice. No wonder the architect doesn't want to be far away—his firm, Backen, Gillam & Kroeger Architects, has moved its St. Helena office into an adjoining building.

As America remains embroiled in conflict overseas, a less visible war is taking place at home, costing countless lives, destroying families, and inflicting untold damage on future generations of Americans.
Over 40 years, the War on Drugs has accounted for more than 45 million arrests, made America the world's largest jailer, and damaged poor communities at home and abroad. Yet for all that, drugs are cheaper, purer, and more available today than ever before.
Filmed in more than 20 states, The House I Live In captures heart-wrenching stories from individuals at all levels of America's War on Drugs. From the dealer to the grieving mother, the narcotics officer to the senator, the inmate to the federal judge, the film offers a penetrating look inside America's longest war, offering a definitive portrait and revealing its profound human rights implications.
While recognizing the seriousness of drug abuse as a matter of public health, the film investigates the tragic errors and shortcomings that have meant it is more often treated as a matter for law enforcement, creating a vast machine that feeds largely on America's poor, especially minority communities.
Beyond simple misguided policy, The House I Live In examines how political and economic corruption have fueled the war for decades, despite persistent evidence of its moral, economic, and practical failures.
The film won the Grand Jury Prize Documentary at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival.

JFace Data Binding/SSE
- 1 Target
- 2 JFace DOM-SSE Databinding
Project Structured Source Editing (SSE) which is sub-project of WTP provides the capability to manage structured document (like DOM XML, CSS document..).
Target of JFace Data Binding/SSE is to support bindings with SSE nodes (DOM, CSS...). Today sources of this project are not available because we are discussing with Eclipse Team to see where we can put this project. This project can be used for instance when you wish manage XML content with an UI editor like :
- PDE which manage plugin.xml with an UI (Extensions page).
- JSF Web Tools which manage faces-config.xml with an UI.
Into JFace Data Binding/SSE sample you can find a Shapes Editor which manage XML content. Here you can see that SWT Text title UI is bounded with title attribute of diagram element :
JFace DOM-SSE Databinding
Before explaining features of JFace DOM-SSE Databinding, if you don't know DOM-SSE, I adwice you to read the section #What is DOM-SSE?
Features/Node instances observed
To explain JFace DOM-SSE Databinding features, take the sample Shapes DOM-SSE Editor, which bind attribute title of root element of the DOM Document with SWT Text title. The observed Node is root element :
Element diagram = document.getDocumentElement();
This node change each time, as soon as user change content of XML editor (remove the diagram element, recreate it...).
We start with the XML content
<diagram title="My shapes diagram"
You can see, that XML is not well formatted because diagram element is not closed. WST is enable to built W3c DOM Document even if XML content is not well formatted.
Bind with existing observed Node
When you open the XML shape file into Shapes DOM-SSE Editor, you can see XML editor is filled with XML content and SWT Text UI has "My shapes diagram" value :
In this case, diagram element instance is observed.
Observed Node = instance1.
Bind with null observed Node
Remove the XML content of the XML editor, the XML editor is blank and SWT Text UI has blank value :
In this case, root element is null and it's this null value wich is observed.
Observed Node = instance2.
Re-bind observed Node
Re-type the XML content into XML editor :
<diagram title="My shapes diagram"
Diagram element is created and append it to the DOM. SWT Text UI has again "My shapes diagram" value.
Observed Node = instance3.
Lazy observed Node
Imagine you have blank XML content into XML editor and that user type "M", into SWT Text title. With standard databinding, XML editor will not updated because observed Node doesn't exist. With JFace DOM-SSE Databinding you can manage that. It's called Lazy Observed Node.
To test that, set blank XML content into XML editor. this action remove diagram element instance3. Observed Node is null (Observed Node = instance4).
Type "M" into SWT Text title. This action generate diagram element and rebind it (Observed Node =instance5). This re-binding generate title attribute with "M" value :
As you can see into the #Features/Node instances observed section, JFace DOM-SSE Databinding manage :
- Re-bind instance Observed Node.
- Lazy creation of Observed Node if need.
Observed Node instance change every time and can be null. So when IObservableValue must be created to observe the Node, Node cannot be use directly because it can be null on start and instance change evry time. The first concept is to use org.eclipse.core.databinding.IObserving interface to observe Node :
package org.eclipse.core.databinding.observable; public interface IObserving { public Object getObserved(); }
In the diagram element case, IObserving is implemented like this :
IObserving diagramObserved = new IObserving() { public Object getObserved() { return document.getDocumentElement(); } };To manage lazy observed Node, JFace DOM-SSE Databinding provides org.eclipse.ufacekit.core.databinding.instance.observable.
ILazyObservingwhich extends IObserving and IObservedFactory :
package org.eclipse.ufacekit.core.databinding.instance.observable; import org.eclipse.core.databinding.observable.IObserving; public interface ILazyObserving extends IObserving, IObservedFactory { }
org.eclipse.ufacekit.core.databinding.instance.observableIObservedFactory have IObservedFactory#createObserved() method which is called when observed Node cannot be find when another IObservableValue (In Shapes DOM-SSE Editor context, SWT TextObservable) whish update the value of observed Node (attribute value) :
package org.eclipse.ufacekit.core.databinding.instance.observable; public interface IObservedFactory { Object createObserved(); }
In the diagram element case, ILazyObserving is implemented like this :
IObserving diagramObserved = new ILazyObserving() { public Object getObserved() { return document.getDocumentElement(); } public Object createObserved() { Element diagram = document.createElement("diagram"); return document.appendChild(diagram); } };
Container of observed instance.
Why JFace DOM-SSE Databinding?
This project provides the capability to manage binding with DOM-SSE nodes (IDOMNode). It is based on JFace DOM Databinding. Why having JFace DOM-SSE Databinding although JFace DOM Databinding manage DOM bindings.? The answer is :
- DOM event listener problem : INodeNotifier 2 EventTarget. JFace DOM Databinding use W3C DOM Event Model to observe DOM node change. On other words Node of DOM Document to bind must implement EventTarget. DOM-SSE have their own Event Model. Node of DOM-SSE Document implement INodeNotifier. Goal of JFace DOM-SSE Databinding is to adapt DOM-SSE event INodeNotifier to W3C DOM event EventTarget.
- Instance nodes problem. JFace DOM Databinding provides several observable to observe a Node instance. If Node instance change, binding is broken. Into XML editor context, the XML is typed by user, DOM is every time broken. Node instances change every time, so it's difficult to observe a Node instance, because instance change every time. Goal of JFace DOM-SSE Databinding is enable to observe Nodes. If Node is removed (user remove the XML content) and recreated (user retype XML content), JFace DOM-SSE Databinding is enable to recreate observable to observe the new Node instance.
What is DOM-SSE?
DOM-SSE is W3c DOM Document comming from IFile or TextEditor. XML Editor from WTP which is based on StructuredTextEditor manage internally DOM-SSE. The DOM-SSE is updated as soon as user type XML content. DOM-SSE is getted from WST IDOMModel like this :
IFile file = ... IModelManager manager = StructuredModelManager.getModelManager(); IDOMModel model = (IDOMModel)manager.getExistingModelForRead(file); if (model == null) { model = manager.getModelForRead(file); } Document document = model.getDocument();
Each Nodes of DOM Document implements org.eclipse.wst.xml.core.internal.provisional.document.IDOMNode interface which extends :
- W3C org.w3c.dom.Node.
- org.eclipse.wst.sse.core.internal.provisional.INodeNotifier.
DOM-SSE can be observed by using :
- IDOMModel#addModelStateListener(IModelStateListener listener) : as soon as DOM-SSE is updated (add/remove/update any Nodes), you can use IModelStateListener#modelChanged(IStructuredModel model) to detect that :
IDOModel model = ... model.addModelStateListener(new IModelStateListener(){ ... public void modelChanged(IStructuredModel model) { } });
- org.eclipse.wst.sse.core.internal.provisional.INodeNotifier provides the capability to add event listener and observe change of the node.
IDOMElement element = ... element.addAdapter(new INodeAdapter() { public boolean isAdapterForType(Object type) { return true; } public void notifyChanged(INodeNotifier notifier, int eventType, Object changedFeature, Object oldValue, Object newValue, int pos) { // Element has changed (attribute changed, ...) // Do something } });

Hatch Plane Crash Preliminary Report Out
Maybe our pilot contingent can make more out of this than me-
NTSB Identification: CEN11FA417
14 CFR Part 91: General Aviation
Accident occurred Friday, June 24, 2011 in Charlevoix, MI
Aircraft: BEECH A36, registration: N88MN
Injuries: 2 Fatal,1 Serious.
This is preliminary information, subject to change, and may contain errors. Any errors in this report will be corrected when the final report has been completed.
On June 24, 2011, approximately 1935 eastern daylight time, a Beech A36 single-engine airplane, N88MN, sustained substantial damage when it impacted terrain and a residential garage while maneuvering near Charlevoix, Michigan. The private pilot and one passenger sustained fatal injuries, and one passenger sustained serious injuries. The airplane was registered to Microjet LLC, Fort Wayne, Indiana, and operated by the pilot. Instrument meteorological conditions prevailed and an instrument flight rules flight plan had been filed for the 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. The flight had departed Smith Field Airport (SMD), Fort Wayne, Indiana, approximately 1730.
According to preliminary air traffic control and witness information, the pilot called on the Charlevoix Municipal Airport (CVX) common traffic advisory frequency (CTAF) that he was executing the RNAV global positioning system (GPS) runway 27 instrument approach. Witnesses who were located at CVX reported that the cloud ceiling was 200 feet above ground level and the visibility was 1 mile at the time the pilot called CTAF to report the approach. The witnesses observed the airplane break out of the clouds approximately halfway down runway 27 (4,550 feet by 75 feet). They heard the airplane's engine increase power and observed the airplane enter a left turn, then a turn back to the right around a water tower located southwest of CVX. The airplane stayed approximately 200 feet AGL during the turn around the airport. The airplane then entered a right downwind leg for runway 27. Witnesses observed the airplane begin a right turn toward runway 27, pitch nose up, and then roll to the left. The airplane impacted the yard of a residence adjacent to the north perimeter of CVX. The airplane came to rest upright, partially within a three stall garage attached to the residence.
At 1914, the CVX automated weather observing system (AWOS) reported the wind from 260 degrees at 9 knots, visibility 1 3/4 miles, mist, sky broken at 400 feet, overcast at 700 feet, temperature 11 degrees Celsius, dew point 10 degrees Celsius, and an altimeter setting of 29.71 inches of Mercury.
At 1954, the CVX AWOS reported the wind from 250 degrees at 10 knots, gusting to 14 knots, visibility 2 miles, drizzle, overcast at 200 feet, temperature 11 degrees Celsius, dew point 10 degrees Celsius, and an altimeter setting of 29.72 inches of Mercury.
The accident site showed that the initial ground scar, located approximately 75 feet from the main wreckage, contained the left wing tip fuel tank fairing and pitot tube. The main wreckage consisted of the fuselage, engine, empennage, and both wings. The three-bladed propeller was separated from the engine crankshaft and came to rest adjacent to the main wreckage. Examination of the main wreckage showed the landing gear was extended and the flaps were retracted. Flight control continuity was established from all flight control surfaces to the cockpit.

Heigl makes Nut Job a family affair
Grey's Anatomy star Katherine Heigl has revealed how excited she is to make a movie she can show her young daughter.
The Knocked Up actress lends her voice to squirrel Andie in new animation The Nut Job, about a group of animals who stage a heist in a nut store.
Walking the red carpet at the Los Angeles premiere with her husband Josh Kelley and their five-year-old daughter Naleigh, Katherine said she could not wait to show their adopted child the film.
"She knows a little bit about it already, she knows it's about squirrels and we get to see it in 3D today so I'm excited to see her reaction," she said.
Katherine said she loved her foray into the animation booth but admitted she got a bit physical to get the desired effects.
"It was really embarrassing, I didn't realise what I was doing until I watched the video back and I hoped nobody would ever see it.
"It was a lot of hopping around and big gestures and if I had to do anything where I had to be out of breath I would just hop up and down until I was out of breath which doesn't take long, which is sad."
Katherine is currently filming Jenny's Wedding with Tom Wilkinson but said she would like the chance to lend her voice to another animated character in the future.
"It's weird but it's easy, I want to do something where I get to do a weird voice and not be me at all and be crazy."
The Nut Job also features the voices of Liam Neeson, Brendan Fraser and Arrested Development star Will Arnett.

The final Major League Baseball attendance totals Thursday showed the game was actually up by half of one percent from a year ago, ending three straight seasons of drops.
The overall attendance of 73,425,568 this year was the fifth-highest in MLB history. The 30 teams combined to average 30,229, STATS LLC said after the regular season ended Wednesday night. That was up from 30,067 last year,
This, despite the Dodgers dropping 18 percent and failing to reach 3 million for the first time in a non-strike year since 1992. That is, with them counting actual seats sold as part of the average attendance of 36,236 a game. We all know it was closer to 25,000, if that, on many nights, far lower toward the end of the season as those who owned season seats continued to boycot the business dealings of owner Frank McCourt.
The worse drop, however, belonged to AL wild card winner Tampa Bay — 19 percent, to a meager 18,846 average per game. The Rays drew 29,518 on Wednesday night for their 8-7 win in 12 innings over the Yankees that put them into the playoffs.
Not even Houston, which lost a team-record 106 games, were worst percentage-wise than the Dodgers in the NL. The Astros averaged 25,546, but that was only an 11 percent drop for a year ago.
The World Series champion San Francisco Giants sold out every home game this year and drew rousing ovations in their wrapup Wednesday. San Diego drew over 32,000 fans to Petco for the season finale against the Cubs while Florida attracted 34,615 in the final game at Sun Life before moving into a new ballpark next year.
The NL East champion Philadelphia Phillies led baseball's attendance chart for the first time, drawing 3,680,718 fans. The Phillies have had 204 straight regular-season sellouts at Citizens Bank Park — Boston has sold out 712 straight games at Fenway Park.
"The resiliency of our sport never ceases to amaze," Commissioner Bud Selig said in a statement.
This year's attendance remained nearly 8 percent below the record 32,785 set in 2007. During the Great Recession of December 2007 to June 2009, the average dropped to 32,528 in 2008 and 30,350 the following year.
Cleveland had the biggest percentage increase, up 31 percent to an average of 22,726. Other teams with big jumps were Pittsburgh (22 percent to 24,255) and Texas (18 percent to 36,382).

Police officer arrested in Mexico bar kidnappings
September 20, 2013
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico City authorities say they have arrested a police officer and another man in the abduction and killing of 12 young people who were taken in May from a bar near the U.S. Embassy.
Mexico City Attorney General Rodolfo Rios says the two suspects helped kidnap the group, whose decomposing bodies were found last month buried in a ranch near the capital.
Rios says the police officer worked in the Zona Rosa, a touristy area of bars and restaurants where the 12 were kidnapped.
He said Thursday the latest arrests bring to 15 the number of suspects in custody.
Prosecutors have said they believe the killings were in revenge for the slaying of a drug dealer in the trendy Condesa neighborhood.
