Mechanical Engineering Team Flies Model Plane At Nationals
By Thomas Guengerich
SOCORRO, N.M., March 4, 2009 – Eight New Mexico Tech students in the mechanical engineering Junior and Senior Design Clinic have exceeded all expectations of their instructors.
This weekend, the team will put their mechanical creation to the test against more than 60 other universities at the Society of Automotive Engineers competition in Van Nuys, Calif.
From left are department chairman and team sponsor Dr. Sayavur Bakhtiyarov, Tamara Dixon, Justin Guthrie, Ben Cooper, Toby Hartman, Matt Swanson, Daniel King, Bianca Luevano, professor Dr. Warren Ostergren, team advisor Dr. Nadir Yilmaz and Bill Marcy. Not pictured: team member Keith Thomas.
In their first year, the team designed, tested and fabricated a remote-controlled airplane. The Tech team – Team Albatross – estimates that their airplane will be able to lift a payload of 22 pounds. Over the course of nine test flights, they'll know if all their calculations, testing and preparations were accurate.
"I really didn't expect them to get beyond design with fabrication drawings," class instructor Dr. Warren Ostergren said. In the fall semester, Ostergren set a goal for the team to compete in its first SAE competition in the spring of 2010.
"I guess some of the biggest challenges were related to the first-time experience and not knowing what makes a good airplane," senior Toby Hartman said. "We had to do a lot of research and calculations."
Team Albatross put in more than 3,500 hours of labor to meet their objective and build their prototype airplane in time for the competition. They also spent about $3,000 to build the plane. The team leaves Thursday, March 5, and will fly their plane Friday to Sunday, March 6 to 8.
Team advisor Dr. Nadir Yilmaz was confident the team would find success. Dr. Yilmaz said the majority of the research and development that Team Albatross would be typically learned in graduate courses.
"They have done a great job and I'm sure we'll be proud of them," he said.
Hartman, who spearheaded the team's efforts, is the team's lone May 2009 graduate.
"I'm definitely getting really nervous," Hartman said Wednesday. "We haven't test-flown it yet, and because of that, we're putting a lot of faith in our theoretical work. But everyone on the team worked really hard, so I'm confident it will fly."
The rest of the team will return next year to improve on this year's inaugural effort: Justin Guthrie, Ben Cooper, Tamara Dixon, Matt Swanson, Daniel King, Bianca Luevano and Keith Thomas. Swanson is a sophomore volunteer who asked to join the team, but won't enroll in Junior Design Clinic until next fall.
All of the team members, except Guthrie, will be in Van Nuys for the competition.
This team is one of 13 mechanical engineering Junior and Senior Design Clinic teams that are solving problems for industry, military and government. Most of the other teams have until May to put their work to the test.
Team Albatross is the first from the state of New Mexico to enter the SAE competition. Department chairman Dr. Sayavur Bakhtiyarov hopes this is just the beginning of a New Mexico Tech legacy in airplane design competitions.
In starting from scratch, Team Albatross employed all facets of their mechanical engineering education. First, they studied the airflow using StarCCM software. Then, they drew a design and modeled the plane in SolidWorks. Using a rapid prototype machine, also called a 3-D printer, they fabricated specialized components. The tail and wing sections are prototypes based on their computer modeling.
Based on their computer modeling and practical testing of several propellers, they selected a propeller they think will work most efficiently with their design. To gauge the efficiency and power of different propellers, students attached the engine and propeller to a wheeled cart, then timed and measured the performance.
The team fabricated nearly all the components apart from the engine and propeller. Using the 3-D printer, Team Albatross fabricates the wing ribs, tail section, leading edge and the fuselage box.
"This rapid-prototype technology has only been around for three or four years," Hartman said. "It's an up-and-coming technology and it definitely gives us a leg up on the competition to have that at our disposal."
In addition, many – but not all – of the plane components were tested in the new wind tunnel at MSEC. By the beginning of the spring semester in mid-January, the team started assembling their flier. Once the plane was put together, the wings were covered in a strong plastic.
Dixon said most of other competitors will probably use balsa wood to build their planes. The Tech team used mostly aluminum for the frame, plastic for the fuselage and small portions of wood. Each contest airplane must use the same engine, so the test is truly a design competition.
The main reason the team hasn't fully tested the airplane yet is that none of the team members have experience with radio-controlled operations. At the competition in Van Nuys, they will have assistance from the president of the local radio-controlled plane club.
They took the plane to the remote-controlled plane runway west of campus and tested the motor, but they didn't want to get the plane off the ground for fear of damaging any components.
The SAE specifications were that the height, width and length of the plane combined could not exceed 175 inches. With a wing-span of 91 inches, the Team Albatross plane's specs add up to 174½ inches. The payload box, which contains the fuselage, is 5" x 5" x 10".
Each plane will take off from a 200-foot runway, make a 180-degree turn, then land on a 400-foot runway. The team will also give an oral presentation, which Hartman compared to a sales pitch.
An important part of the competition is estimating how much weight the plane can carry. Bonus points are awarded for predicting the payload correctly. The competition also gives an award for the best crash.
"We hope to win an award, but not for the best crash," Hartman said.
The plane disassembles for transport and Hartman hopes to bring the plane back in three pieces – not in many pieces. He said he hopes future Senior Design Clinic teams can use the plane as a template and build on the work done this year.

Jeff Brashares wasn't going to let a little thing like degenerative arthritis keep him from running.
Jeff Brashares wasn't going to let a little thing like degenerative arthritis keep him from running.
After a knee operation, his physician gave him some advice.
"When I got done with the surgery, he said, 'Jeffrey, you can probably run for another year but I wouldn't recommend it,'" Brashares recalled.
That was 11 years ago.
He still runs two to three miles a day for personal reasons: health, stress relief and the simple joy of being outdoors.
But on Dec. 1, he'll be running for others.
Brashares, of Lewis Center, will be participating in the Jingle Bell Run/Walk, a competitive 5K event in downtown Columbus that will raise money for the Arthritis Foundation, Great Lakes Region.
Registration, which is $30 for noncompetitive runners and $35 for competitors, begins at 8 a.m. in front of the Crowne Plaza, 33 E. Nationwide Blvd. Online registration also is available at www.jinglebellruncolumbus.kintera.org.
The 25-yard Snow Flake Run, open to children age 10 and younger, will start at 9:35 a.m. Registration is $12 the day of the event or online.
The adult race starts at 10 a.m. The race route extends south down High Street to German Village, across Livingston and north on Fourth Street to the finish line at Nationwide and High.
"I think it's a phenomenal event for Columbus," said Brashares, a transportation and logistics consultant. "To see this wave of people running down High Street is pretty cool."
Michelle Thomas, development director for the local Arthritis Foundation, said 4,700 people are expected to participate in the 26th annual run. The third-largest of 180 Jingle Bell Run/Walks in the country is expected to raise about $230,000, which will go toward educational seminars, exercise classes, children's camps and research, she said.
There are 486,000 adults and 5,000 children in central Ohio who suffer from arthritis, she said.
"Fundraising events such as the Jingle Bell Run/Walk help us improve their lives and provide resources that will help them on a day to day basis," Thomas said.
Brashares, 60, said he has participated in the event each year since it was founded.
"It's a great way to raise awareness," he said.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Nutritional sciences expert Dorothy Blair will present "Using Indigenous Foodways to Encourage the Consumption and Continued Use of Soybeans as a Rotational Crop for Maize in Uganda," from noon to 1 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 4, in Foster Auditorium, 102 Paterno Library. Blair is a former assistant professor in the Department of Nutritional Sciences at Penn State who was recently assigned to the CNFA Farmer to Farmer volunteer program. This initiative enables the transfer of knowledge from U.S. experts to farmers and small agribusinesses around the globe.
Soybeans were introduced to Ugandan Farmers as an edible rotational crop a few years prior to Blair's assignment with the Farmer to Farmer program. However, at that time, farmers had used soy as an oil seed rather than a bean and consequently, the roasted beans were neither palatable nor modified to remove anti-nutritional factors. This seminar examines Blair's field cooking workshop approach to engaging farmers in the process of preparing and developing recipes for soybeans based on their own traditional legume culinary practices.
Blair retired last December from the Penn State Nutritional Sciences program after 32 years of teaching, research and outreach in the areas of food security, food systems and international cuisine.
This presentation is free and open to the public and can also be viewed online at http://live.libraries.psu.edu/Mediasite/Play/864fdc916d254e27afba049d9cc2004d1d?catalog=8376d4b2-4dd1-457e-a3bf-e4cf9163feda.
The presentation is part of an ongoing series highlighting the importance of indigenous knowledge and is sponsored by ICIK, the Interinstitutional Consortium on Indigenous Knowledge, and the Penn State Social Sciences Library. For more information on ICIK, including links to past presentations on the speaker series, go to icik.psu.edu.

Illinois reports drop in farm-deaths
Country Financial reports Illinois had fewer farm-related deaths in the 12 months ending June 30 than it had in any of the previous 35 years.
Twelve deaths were reported during the 2012-13 year, down from 20 in 2011-12 and 38 in 2010-11, according to company records.
During the past year, four deaths were attributed to tractor roll-overs or run-overs, and four were attributed to roadway collisions.
The other four stemmed from miscellaneous causes, including grain bin suffocation and a fall from a hayride trailer.
The company's observers say increased awareness as a result of campaigns by the Grain Handling Safety Coalition helped prevent accidents.
A smaller and dry crop also worked in a positive favor last year, noting there weren't many reasons for farmers to enter grain bins and break up crusted grain.
Most of the year's roadway collisions happened around dusk.
Rural motorists should be extra careful in the dark. Sharing the road becomes more difficult as the sun goes down.

The ALSC Board of Directors approved this Statement on Equity of Access, as part of ALA President Carla Hayden's Presidential Intiative, in April 2004.
The Association for Library Service to Children is committed to equity of access by improving and ensuring the future of the nation through exemplary library service to children, their families, and others who work with children.
Through myriad committee functions we strive to:
. Select outstanding materials on a wide variety of topics in oral, print, and electronic formats that reflect the multicultural, diverse heritage of the population and its interests.
. Disseminate information in traditional and non-traditional formats and appropriate to varying needs and abilities that is vital to survival, well-being, and life-long learning.
. Expose children to a broad range of sound, songs and stories to ground their spirits, compel their curiosities, and invigorate their imaginations.
. Promote research opportunities that add to the knowledge base of child development, education, linguistics, pediatric medicine, and social work as they relate to children's learning and information seeking behavior.
. Form alliances with other agencies/organization who serve youth to ensure that libraries are known as community access points to information and programming.
. Provide high quality, continuing education opportunities to members to ensure that issues and trends are discussed and brought into the scope of delivery of service to children, families and others who work with children.
Through our Membership Communication Plan we have developed specific strategies for the recruitment and retention of librarians, specifically those who work with children and families as well as administrators who are responsible for developing goals and long range plans for local libraries. In addition, we partner with other ALA divisions/affiliates (PLA, AASL, YALSA, Reforma) and national organizations (PBS, W.C. Kellogg Foundation, etc.) to guarantee that local library staff, children and their families are exposed to important information regarding early literacy learning.
The Association for Library Service to Children recognizes that the greatest barriers to equity of access are:
. Little cultural history of library usage
. Lack of resources to purchase the scope and depth of materials needed
. Lack of library staff training to address disability and cultural issues
. Lack of multicultural, multi-lingual library staff.
To this end, we are working within our Communication Plan to address and resolve these issues, recognizing and realizing that these will be ongoing issues that will be addressed in a variety of ways over several years.
Approved by the ALSC Board, April 2004

Chicago Career Networking Event Big Successby Shayne Dube '09 • October 6, 2006 Share:
On Sunday October 1, 2006 a group of almost 60 Wabash students huddled up in 5 vans at 9:45 a.m. and drove to downtown Chicago. The Chicago Networking Event provided students the opportunity to meet and mingle with Wabash alumni in different career fields.
Upon arriving at the Deloitte building in downtown Chicago, students ate a quick box lunch and were introduced to the alumni. After that, the alumni broke off into different groups (of about 2 or 3) and students managed to float from group to group based on their respective interests. In each group students were able to hear the undergrad, grad, and career experiences of each alumnus. Students also had a chance to ask for advice and overall perspective of the alumni.
Personally, I arrived in Chicago not knowing what career path I intended to pursue. Having recently decided not to pursue dentistry, I intended to fully utilize the networking opportunity to listen to any and all advice that the alumni had to offer. Although no magic light bulb appeared and hovered over my head by the networking event was over, I left Chicago having gained something essential?the resolve to choose a passion/career path and go after it. Trivial as it may seem, this will be very beneficial to me because it helps take one more difficult steps in the professional/career development process—it moves me from a state of static indecision to a process of working towards the accomplishment of a goal.

There is no competent authority for the establishment and implementation of co-existence measures in Croatia.
Several authorities are involved in the general regulation of GMOs. According to Genetically Modified Organisms Act, the Ministry of Culture (the Nature Protection Department) is the competent authority for the deliberate release of GMOs, the Ministry for Health and Social Welfare is the competent authority for food, and the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management is the competent authority for feed.
The Ministry of Sea, Tourism, Transport and Development regulates the transport of GMOs.
Prior to the market introduction of a novel food or feed in the Republic of Croatia, an approval shall be issued in accordance with the Food Act. The approval for food shall be issued by the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare in accordance with the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, and is based on the scientific opinion obtained previously from the Croatian Food Agency. The approval for feed shall be issued by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, also based on the scientific opinion obtained previously of the Croatian Food Agency.
Croatia has no advisory panels responsible for co-existence.
Current laws on GMOs call for the creation of an advisory board, but details of the mandate will be subject to change upon implementation of the new Genetically Modified Organisms Act.
The scientific Panel on genetically modified organisms and novel food was placed within the Croatian Food Agency, which was established as an independent body responsible for risk assessment, risk communication and co-ordination of risk management along the whole food chain.

Jonathan Last at the Daily Standard reports that the U.S. is "quietly" winning the drug war. According to Last:
The supply of all the major drugs is down, but at the same time, drug interdiction is up. In 1989, 533,533 kilograms of the four major drugs were seized by U.S. authorities. By 2005, the total had risen to 1.3 million kilograms.
Moreover, since 2001 "teen drug use is off nearly 19 percent. Which means that 700,000 fewer teens are using drugs today than just a few years ago."
I wonder whether this progress would be as quiet if it were occurring under a Democratic administration.

The Development of a Wound Retractor with Integrated Suction and Illumination for Cochlear Implantation
Search Medline for
|September 22, 2005
It is a general goal of the operative medicine to minimize the trauma of a surgical procedure in physical and psychical respect. This has led to the development of the minimally invasive surgery which has a long tradition in ENT-surgery by the endoscopical approaches. Even in cochlear implant surgery the established supraaural "Hannover-skin incision" has been abandoned by many surgeons for just a retroauricular approach. First there is no need tof shave the hair of a wide area which is advantageous especially in women. Secondly the procedure just has the character of an ear instead of a "head surgery" surgery with a less traumatic moment. However, the access for the surgeon is limited in drilling a bed for the implant body. This could cause severe bleeding or a lesion of the dura which has often to be exposed in pediatric implantation.
Therefore a wound retractor with a slim, 43 to 11 mm long blade with integrated suction and illumination has been developed. This has proven to be useful in cochlear implantation and guarantees a brightly illuminated operating field without bone dust or a surplus of water for irrigation. The handling of this instrument is ergonomic despite the two cables for the suction and illumination due to the centre of gravity in the middle of the retractor.
Thus an adequate compromise can be respected between minimization of the trauma and surgical accessibility.

The Windows Registry is stored in multiple files.
Windows NT 4
In Windows NT 4 (and later) the Registry is stored in the Windows NT Registry File (REGF) format.
Basically the following Registry hives are stored in the corresponding files:
- HKEY_USERS: \Documents and Setting\User Profile\NTUSER.DAT
- HKEY_USERS\DEFAULT: C:\Windows\system32\config\default
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SAM: C:\Windows\system32\config\SAM

- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE: C:\Windows\system32\config\software
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM: C:\Windows\system32\config\system
Windows 9x/ME
In Windows 95, 98, Me the Registry is stored in the Windows 9x Registry File (CREG) format.
- \Windows\user.dat
- \Windows\system.dat
- \Windows\profiles\user profile\user.dat
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
Per user:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
Special cases
The Windows Registry has several special case scenarios, mainly concerning key and value name, that are easy to fail to account for:
- special characters key and value names
- duplicate key and value names
- the names when stored in extended ASCII (ANSI string) use a codepage that is dependent on the system settings
special characters key and value names
Both key and values names are case insensitive. The \ character is used as the key separator. Note that the \ character can be used in value names. The / character is used in both key and value names. Some examples of which are:
Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Services\NetBT\Parameters\ Value: Size/Small/Medium/Large
Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Terminal Server\VIDEO\disc\ Value: \Device\Video0
Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\services\xmlprov\Parameters\SchemaGroups\User\http://www.microsoft.com/provisioning/eaptlsuserpropertiesv1\ Value: SchemaFile
codepaged ASCII strings
Value with name "ëigenaardig" created on Windows XP codepage 1252.

When the leaders of the G-20 nations arrive in Pittsburgh, I want them to know I am fomenting revolution — Industrial revolution. Specifically, a 21st-century burgeoning of green manufacturing in the United States.
Americans going green — manufacturing windmills and solar cells — would benefit the whole world's economy and environment. Restoring manufacturing would rebuild the U.S. economy. And a strong United States is essential because countries in the old world, such as Germany, and those in the developing world, such as China, depend on Americans to buy their exports.
For years, during every G-20 meeting, workers took to the streets to protest free trade, and they'll resurface along Liberty Avenue on Sept. 24 and 25 as American workers demand fair trade. But at each successive gathering of the G-20, the United States has produced fewer and fewer goods to exchange.
Over the past decade, 40,000 manufacturing facilities across the United States have closed. Since the recession began in December 2007, 2 million U.S. manufacturing workers lost their jobs, making their unemployment rate 12.4 percent. Those who found new jobs got lower pay, according to studies by the Economic Policy Institute.
This is a topsy turvy world for those who recall the nation's flourishing factories during the 1950s and 1960s. Just after World War II, the rebuilding of Europe and Japan generated demand for U.S. exports. The United States ran a trade surplus that amounted to about 1 percent of gross domestic product.
In the 1970s, however, that flipped. Now, each year the United States imports hundreds of millions of dollars more in commodities — mostly manufactured goods — than it exports. As a result, the United States has accumulated a trade deficit over that period of more than $7 trillion.
This is all just fine with countries like China, Japan and Germany that base their economies on building goods for export. Their factories are humming; their citizens are working and saving. By contrast, U.S. factories are closing; our citizens are borrowing on credit cards and against the value of their homes to buy imported products. And the U.S. government is indebting itself to China to cover its trade shortfall. It's an unsustainable debt cycle.
A sign of its fragility appeared this spring in the form of a slashed annual trade deficit. For 2006, before the recession, the deficit was $800 billion, representing roughly 6 percent of GDP. This year, if the rate remains as it was in the first quarter during the depths of the Great Recession, it will be $400 billion.
That collapse occurred because high U.S. unemployment begat low consumer spending, which begat low import demand. Americans locking their wallets touched countries worldwide. Factories closed across China. Japan's economy contracted more rapidly than it had since the 1970s. Germany ran up a $24 billion budget deficit in the first half of this year, contrasting sharply with the $7 billion surplus it netted for the same period last year.
An industrial revolution in the United States is the solution. There are two key components. One is that the U.S. must manufacture commodities of international value to export to reduce its trade deficit. The second is that factories must provide good jobs for workers whose paychecks enable them to support their communities and to buy both domestic and imported goods.
To spur an industrial revolution — and to save the American economy — the U.S. government must begin observing free trade the same way the rest of the world does. Here's a good example: Both the United States and China want to export renewable energy products. China is doubling down on its investment — even if it violates free trade agreements to do so.
Its largest solar-panel manufacturer, Suntech Power Holdings, told The New York Times recently that it was selling its panels in the United States for less than the cost of materials, assembly and shipping. They can do that because Chinese companies receive massive government support, including low-interest loans, cheap electricity, free land and grants for research and development.
Although China appears to be illegally dumping its panels on the U.S. market, it's not going to stop. So there's no point in the United States playing patsy and allowing more American industrial bankruptcies.
The United States needs a coordinated industrial policy like every other major First-World country to direct development. Focusing on green-energy development is the way to go — to create jobs, clean the environment and reduce reliance on imported oil. President Barack Obama's administration recently expressed interest in establishing a national manufacturing policy. A leading candidate to head the effort is a former Lazard Ltd. investment banker and former United Steelworkers financial expert named Ron Bloom. This could produce a blossoming of new American plants, which could, in turn, nurture all G-20 nations.

Social media disrupts the long-standing rules of business in many ways, but crafting a social media policy is premature unless the designers of the policy answer seven critical questions first, according to Gartner, Inc.
"Social media offers tempting opportunities to interact with employees, business partners, customers, prospects and a whole host of anonymous participants on the social Web," said Carol Rozwell, vice president and distinguished analyst at Gartner. "However, those who participate in social media need guidance from their employer about the rules, responsibilities, 'norms' and behaviors expected of them, and these topics are commonly covered in the social media policy."
This slideshow highlights seven critical questions Gartner has identified that designers of social media policy must ask themselves.

Utah authorities are investigating reports of drinking water contaminated by E. coli linked to prairie dogs at an iconic Utah park but said Tuesday that tests so far show the water is clean.
Bryce Canyon National Park saw 2.5 million visitors last year, and county leaders are alarmed about contamination reports linked to feces from prairie dogs near the well that supplies water to visitor facilities and cabins.
Park officials said contaminated samples came from untreated water. Treated water is safe, they said. State drinking water officials said they're planning to review the system this week but so far have seen no evidence of a problem in monthly drinking water tests.
"Bryce Canyon is in full compliance with everything they've done," said Utah Department of Environmental Quality Division of Drinking Water Director Marie Owens.
But local leaders aren't convinced.
"This has been going on for a long time, and we're not going to put up with that anymore," said Garfield County Sheriff Danny Perkins.
The county commission passed a resolution Monday calling it an "immediate, direct and significant" public-health threat.
A park employee has shared results of more than a dozen tests in the past several years showing the presence of E. coli, most recently last year, Perkins said.
It's a bigger issue in high-water years when more debris enters the water supply, Perkins said. He said the park should get a new well or move the prairie dog colony.
The park constructed a fence last year and is working with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to move the colony next month, National Park Service spokeswoman Vanessa Lacayo said.
The water is safe after being treated by a microfilter and chlorination, she said.
Utah prairie dogs are a threatened species, and federal endangered species protections for them have been a source of frustration for property owners who say the rules go too far and allow the animals to take over.

We're still alive. For now.
December 21, 2012, 12-21-12, is just one week away. As everyone knows by now, the Mayan calendar and various other absolutely credible sources tell us The Four Beasts will rear their ugly heads and our Last Judgement will commence next Friday.
Despite our own desire to run amok and wreak havoc until the cataclysm, the Dan's Hamptons staff wants to make sure you know this thing is for real. We're taking time out of our last week on Earth to provide proof so you can go out and cause some mayhem of your own.
There's a great disturbance in the Force, and it's got Armageddon written all over it.
Long Islanders got a small taste of what the End Times might look like when Superstorm Sandy hit our shores back in October, but it was the Long Island Power Authority's sorry response that really portends our bleak and imminent future.
The world must be ending when a company with virtually no competitors and a stranglehold on 7,568,304 people—not to mention some of the highest electricity rates in the country—couldn't manage to restore power to its customers in a timely manner. And this was after the utility had similar failings in the wake of Hurricane Irene one year before.
It should also be noted that LIPA has yet to remove all the double utility poles around Suffolk County. Maybe it's because no one will care while traversing the barren, scorched post-apocalyptic landscape.
The fact that LIPA's acting CEO Michael Hervey, Customer Service Vice President Bruce Germano and Trustee X. Cristofer Damianos are jumping ship is further evidence that the utility could be responsible for the end of the world. No one wants to be part of that.
Even our governor, Andrew M. Cuomo said LIPA "has to end," and now there's talk of the state-run utility becoming privatized. It might help, but privatizing utilities sound like trouble. Next we'll find out the federal government is paying bills for major corporations…
Check back tomorrow for DAY 5 evidence that the cataclysm will strike on December 21, 2012.

Busch's victory raises hope for what season can be
MARTINSVILLE, Va. (AP) Kurt Busch couldn't be more delighted with his move to Stewart-Haas Racing.
Six races into the marriage, he ended an 83-race winless streak Sunday at Martinsville Speedway and said he's learning that a better approach to being an actual participant in a team pays big dividends.
"I ran a lot of my early part of my career as an individual and I didn't respect my team, my team owners," Busch said, adding that working with co-owner Tony Stewart is helping him learn a better way.
Busch won by passing Martinsville master Jimmie Johnson for the lead with 10 laps to go and holding off the eight-time winner to win at the track for the first time since October 2002. It was his 25th career Cup-level victory, and Busch seemed enthralled that it came in the most unlikely of venues.
"You've got to put life in perspective, and you have to learn from your mistakes and you can't just sit there and try to muscle your way individually through certain situations," he said about 450 laps after a pit road confrontation with Brad Keselowski, whose on-track retaliation had Busch threatening to rearrange his face. "And so you rely on your experience level, you rely on your team, and this is a great day for me to be able to lift the trophy in Victory Lane for Stewart-Haas Racing."
Johnson, with eight wins in 25 career starts on the 0.526-mile oval, led 11 times for 296 laps. He seemed on his way to another victory when he took the lead from Busch with 17 laps remaining. But Busch stayed close, ducked underneath Johnson seven laps later and Johnson had no means to challenge again.
"That's all I had," Johnson said. "Man, I ran the rear tires off the car. I flipped every switch and knob I could in there to get front brake and turn fans off and try to help bring my balance back."
Busch held on, his first top-10 finish at Martinsville in his last 17 starts there.
The race featured an event-record 33 lead changes, and Johnson expected there would be one more when he retook the lead with 17 laps to go, but on a slippery day after a rainy weekend on the smallest circuit in NASCAR's premier series, the cars at the end weren't conducive to typical short-track racing.
"I think the lack of security in our own car kept us from feeling more racy and putting a bumper to someone or really getting inside someone aggressively," Johnson said of the rather gentlemanly finish.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. was third, followed by Joey Logano and Marcos Ambrose.
Here are five other things to know after NASCAR's sixth race of the season:
STILL NO REPEATS: Through six races, there have been six different pole-sitters and six different race-winners, a trend that is causing some winners to rethink their stance that with a win, they're essentially in the 16-driver playoffs for the final 10 races of the season. Winning certainly gives each of them a leg up because of how much weight it carries in determining the Chase field, but as long as new drivers keep doing burnouts after each race, there's no telling how many winners there will be.
There are 26 races before the Chase.
GENE GENE, THE DOUBTING MACHINE: Gene Haas was not present for the first victory by the team he funds, and admitted by telephone after Busch's victory that he was resigned to Jimmie Johnson prevailing.
"I was thinking that we would probably pull out in front of Jimmie Johnson and be there for a few laps, but (Johnson) was better on the long run," Haas said. "I was kind of like going, `Well hey, at least we made a good show."' Busch also told his new boss via text earlier in the week that Martinsville was his worst track, and then was hardly able to practice because all of Saturday's activity was rained out.
"He doesn't practice on Saturday and he wins," Haas said. "We have a new formula here."
POINTS RACE: Don't look now, because it's still really early, but Dale Earnhardt Jr., the sports' most popular driver, leads the points race and leads with four top-5 finishes in six races.
Could this be the year that Dale Jr. finally has the year his fans have been waiting for?
FALLIBLE JIMMIE? Johnson led 11 times for 296 laps on Sunday.
When it was noted that Johnson has had several instances in recent years where his dominance in a race hasn't always led to a victory like he's accustomed to, he first joked about it, then agreed.
But, he said, Sunday's outcome wasn't an example of the kind of failure being suggested.
"Today I couldn't have done any more," Johnson said. "I just got beat."
NON WINNERS: Six weeks into the season, with six winners, words like `parity' are starting to be bandied about.
Knee-jerk? Consider: among the drivers that have yet to win a race this season are Jeff Gordon, Matt Kenseth, Johnson, Ryan Newman, Joey Logano, Denny Hamlin, Tony Stewart, Kasey Kahne, Greg Biffle and Clint Bowyer. That's a whole bunch of perennial contenders waiting to show they are contenders again.

The body can make most of the twenty or so fats that we normally consume. Only two fats are essential - omega- 6s and omega-3s, and these polyunsaturated fatty acids must be obtained from diet or from supplements. The omega-3 fatty acids include the long-chain fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and ??-linolenic acid (ALA). These essential fats get stored as phospholipids on the cell membranes and then serve as precursors for many biological functions. Within the past 100 years, the consumption of total fat and omega-6 has increased, while the intake of omega-3s has decreased. Various authorities consider the modern increase in the consumption of omega-6 fatty acids and the vastly increased ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 ingestion to be a root cause of chronic activation of inflammatory responses.
Omega-3 fatty acids are distinguished by their molecular structure. Fats are long chains of carbon atoms. The "omega" refers to the place along the chain where the first double bond connects the carbons (see figure). Starting from the methyl end (CH3 or omega end) of the chain, the place where the first double bond is placed defines a "family" of similar fats. Omega-3s have the first double bond between the third and fourth carbon atoms. Marine animals supply mostly EPA and DHA and some plants (fl ax, canola, soy oils) provide dietary sources of ALA.
ALA from plant oils must be elongated (more carbon atoms added) and desaturated (more double-bonds between the carbons added) before this omega-3 fatty acid can be utilized for many purposes in the body. Conversion to the bioactive form is poor; only about 10% of ALA makes it to a bioactive state.
The Food and Drug Administration on September 8, 2004 gave "qualified health claim" status to EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids because "supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA [n-3] fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease." The omega-3 fatty acids also are essential for normal growth in young children. A great deal of evidence also supports roles for the omega-3 fatty acids, especially EPA and DHA, in boosting brain function and promoting cardiovascular health.

CHICAGO – For 130 of the final 139 seconds of Game 6 Thursday at United Center, the Brooklyn Nets never could put the Chicago Bulls more than three points back in the rear-view mirror. There were repeated opportunities for the Bulls to tie or take the lead, plenty of chances for the Nets to slip up or let up on the road, in a noisy gym, their postseason survival on the brink.
Offensively, they were melting down. They shot 4-of-19 in the third quarter, 6-of-17 in the fourth. And still, Chicago never could catch them. The Nets led by six at halftime and won by three, 95-92. Three times the Bulls got as close as one point. And that was it.
Brooklyn's defense earned them their Game 7 shot Saturday night. So many weapons offensively, so much hand-to-hand combat when those weapons misfired (Brook Lopez, Joe Johnson and Deron Williams combined for 12 points in the second half.)
"The first half we didn't play any defense," Nets coach P.J. Carlesimo said. "The second half we didn't have any offense. … It was a heckuva win but it wasn't Xs & Os, anything like that. It was two teams played real hard and our guys found a way to win."
The Nets zinged Chicago for 60 points through the game's first 24 minutes. That earned them a little cushion over the next 24, but not enough to absolve their shooting and scoring woes.
So when they shot 21.1 percent in the third, they made sure Chicago did no better than 27.3. When they burped along at 35.7 percent in the fourth, they saw to it that the Bulls were even worse at 32.1.
And while it stung to miss five of their 11 free throws in that final quarter, it wasn't fatal because Chicago only shot two. All that defending, so little fouling (2 in the period).
"Be physical with 'em. Get 'em off their spots. [Carlos] Boozer's good, those guys are good getting to their spots and getting comfortable," forward Gerald Wallace said, sharing from Brooklyn's "book" on the Bulls. "The main thing is, we're playing 48 minutes. We're not dropping our heads when our shots not falling. We're keeping the defensive pressure up on 'em. These last two games, we've relied on our defense a lot more.'
Set aside the bloated numbers from Game 4, the Bulls' 142 points and 53.2 percent shooting in triple-overtime, and Brooklyn's defensive prowess has been good. The Nets have held the Bulls to 88.2 points, on average, in the other five games and 44.8 percent shooting.
They learned their lesson against Nate Robinson, too. Since his Nate being Nate-ness in Game 4 — 34 points off the bench, all but five from the fourth quarter on, Robinson has been contained by Brooklyn's guards and help up front. He scored a combined 38 points on 16-of-34 shooting in Games 5 and 6 but he hasn't spent more than a few brief stretches in takeover mode.
The Nets' defensive focus on Robinson? Forward Reggie Evans smiled at the question.
"We ain't focusin' like that," Evans said. "You know what I'm saying? Nate's a good player but he ain't a focus to the point where you're like … if you asked me what's our focus against Derrick Rose, it's something different. You're talking about an MVP player.
"We're talking about Nate Robinson — he had a good game [in Game 4]. No disrespect to him because he's a good player but, c'mon, they've got Luol Deng who's an All-Star. [Joakim] Noah who's an All-Star. Boozer, who's a former All-Star. So don't you think they'd be a little more of a bigger focus?"
Actually, the Bulls did not have Deng Thursday — he was sent home sick, and reportedly had a detour to a local hospital in the 24 hours prior to Game 6. Robinson was sick too — visibly at one point, in a towel-and-bucket way — as was forward Taj Gibson. Gibson showed the worst effects, fouling out after just 17:46 of raggedy play. And the Bulls' 16 turnovers, many unforced, made Brooklyn's defense look peskier than it truly was.
So was Chicago easier to guard, without Deng, without point guard Kirk Hinrich (bruised left calf), without that Rose guy? Sure. But a Nets club that often lapses into the bad habit of trying to outscore the other guys went the other way Thursday. They have looked capable of doing both when the games are at Barclays Center, so Brooklyn seems set up nicely for Game 7.
"Beating 'em to the punch," Evans said of the Nets' tactics vs. Chicago. "Rebounding the ball whenever they miss it. Understanding the tendencies of each individual player and trying to make that come together as a unit. Once things get to clicking, and everybody communicating, good things happen.
"It was a grind game for both of us. No matter how you shoot, that don't determine your defense. Like they say, offense sells tickets and defense wins games for you. So when you don't got it going, that don't mean you don't got to play defense."
Remembering that is big. Doing it is bigger. Doing it in a Game 7 to earn an Eastern Conference semifinals series against the NBA's defending champions, that would be biggest of all, so deep into Brooklyn's special season.

New physician to join St. Luke
Staff writer
Paige Hatcher, M.D., is excited to be joining the Marion community this fall. Her hometown, Haven, is only 67 miles away and she is looking forward to bringing her husband and her love of people to the area.
Dr. Hatcher will join the medical staff at St. Luke Hospital in October. She practices full-scope family medicine, including: pediatrics, women's health, mental health, injury care, management of chronic disease, preventative medicine and geriatrics.
"We're extremely pleased to announce the arrival of Dr. Hatcher," said Jeremy Armstrong, CEO at St. Luke Hospital. "Her training in both family practice and preventative medicine is not only a great fit for our patients, but also for St. Luke. She will offer an invaluable perspective as we plan and prepare for the future of health care."
Dr. Hatcher graduated from the University of Kansas School of Medicine.
She is board certified in Family Medicine and will complete specialty training in Preventative Medicine and a master's degree in public health this year at Portland State University.
While completing her residency in Portland, Ore., she taught, did research, and worked on health policy related to health care work force issues, prescription drug abuse, quality improvement, and innovative delivery systems including the patient-centered medical home. Her past clinical practice was an urban clinic in Portland, where she served uninsured and underinsured patients.
Dr. Hatcher is an active gardener, a food lover, and a casual hiker. She is moving to Marion with her husband, Jeff, who is a graphic artist and computer technician.
"Jeff and I are excited to be joining the community of Marion in the fall," said Dr. Hatcher.
"It's my goal to provide compassionate high quality care for families in Marion County. Being a family doctor is a special opportunity to be a part of people's lives, and I look forward to getting to know the community and its residents."

Open house pick of the week: The Arbors in Ewa
The planned, suburban communities on the west side of Oahu are increasingly popular as they offer nice, new homes at relatively affordable prices. The homes follow their developers' standard design, though, so you often end up with a home that looks like all your neighbors'.
The exception is if you're an artist or interior designer and can create unique elements inside your home to stand out from the rest, as Paul and Donna Sakamoto have done with theirs at The Arbors. (Click here for details.)
Paul is a former commercial artist-so notable, he was featured in Island Home Magazine for his work with Coke, Seiko and numerous homes in Kahala and Hawaii Loa Ridge. Donna works for INspiration Design and Furniture and used her home decorating expertise to create custom touches, as well.
The first things you see are the Greek doric columns in the front entry area and the eclectic accessories. In the Japanese garden outside, you'll find a sculpture that Paul designed, which is included in the sale of the home.
Every room in this 1,526-square-foot residence reflects their artistic talent in some way. There are two bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs, and one bedroom and bathroom downstairs-in which Paul designed the etching on the glass shower door.
The home will be open this Sunday from 2 to 5 p.m. so you can see it yourself. It's at 91-1132 Laaulu St., Unit 14E; dial #282 at the guest entry gate.
Happy house hunting!

Uh, remember that little segment on the Today show yesterday? Something having to do with, oh, women and body image and magazines that do brutal retouching jobs on their cover subjects thus inspiring self-hatred and impossible standards of beauty — all in the name of "industry standards"? Yeah, we caught that segment too! And remember how Men's Health editor David Zinczenko and that psychologist kept saying that it's totally okay that magazines do this, because everyone knows that said magazines are "aspirational"? Well the word 'aspirational' is only two letters removed from 'inspirational', Mr. Zinczenko, especially with regards to young girls.
According to a new study just released in the U.K., of 70,000 school-age children, 40% of 14-to-15-year old girls admitted they aren't eating breakfast and 25% of those girls are also not eating lunch because over 50% of them listed their appearance as their number one concern in life.
Dr David Regis, research manager at the SHEU, said in-depth interviews with participants suggested media images of superslim celebrities and models such as Victoria Beckham, Kate Moss and Nicole Richie fuelled the obsession with weight. "Dissatisfaction with their bodies often seems to originate from, or is certainly accentuated by, celebrity culture and the print media and magazines," he said.
We rest our case.

Everyone loves sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll, so it was only a matter of time
before a feature film captured all three in a musical era where they were
perhaps most prevalent.
OK, so the flower power of the Sixties best fits that description. But
Eighties metal isn't far behind. And with the genre having undergone a
nostalgic renaissance in America in recent years via summer package tours,
music video programs and compilation albums, the timing could not have been
better to immortalise on screen all things hair, leather and spandex. Rock
Star (formerly known as Metal God) does that and more, endearingly - and
quite humorously - recreating the excesses of the genre. Although the film
won't be released in America until September, it was screened for prominent
members of the Los Angeles metal community yesterday (3 April), presumably to
start the proverbial word-of-mouth buzz.
Most metalheads know that Rock Star is loosely based on the ascension of
current Judas Priest frontman Ripper Owens from tribute band obscurity to
rock star glory, with Mark Wahlberg taking the starring role. Although he's
an accomplished actor with credits that include Boogie Nights and Three
Kings, some have raised eyebrows at the casting of the one-time rapper in a
metal movie. But Wahlberg is the film's most pleasant surprise, as he
convincingly and charmingly portrays an aspiring rock singer who scores - and
nails - an audition with his heroes, Steel Dragon, after the group sees a
videotape of him performing in a tribute band.
Though it's somewhat disguised by mounds of makeup and hoards of hair, Rock
Star is a love story at heart, showing how fame and fortune - and groupies -
can get in the way of romance, with sitcom star Jennifer Aniston portraying
Wahlberg's girlfriend/manager. But rock fans will care more about some of the
film's other stars, as a slew of musicians, including Jason Bonham, Slaughter
's Blas Elias and Dokken's Jeff Pilson appear as members of Wahlberg's
various bands. Best cast, though, is Zakk Wylde, hysterical as a
monosyllabic, but still foul-mouthed, guitarist with a penchant for hunting
and drinking. (Big stretch, we're sure.) Several of the LA attendees also got
a kick out of a hilarious cameo by local tribute band king Ralph Saenz, known
in the TV commercial world as the leader of Danger Kitty.
There undoubtedly will be griping about the inaccuracy of the film's
soundtrack, as Rock Star is set in 1985 and 1986, yet it contains songs from
before (Kiss' Lick It Up) and after (Def Leppard's Let's Get Rocked)
that period. British viewers will also likely shake their heads at American
actors trying to master an accent that's apparently quite foreign (although
it makes for a classic scene when Wahlberg tries to perfect it). And while
its ending doesn't quite match up with the story that inspired it, the film
as a whole paints an engaging and always entertaining portrait of the cult of
metal when it was at its commercial peak.
Several veterans of the era - including Metal Edges Gerri Miller,
RIPs Lonn Friend and Headbanger's Ball host Riki Rachtman - were in
attendance, as was Motörheads Lemmy (the first in line at the open bar after
the film ended). But most interesting was what Halford guitarist Pat Lachman
said the real Metal God would think of the movie: "He'd laugh his ass off!"

A-ha! He does try a British accent! Sounds like a really fun movie, I'll look forward to that one. I also want to hear him sing heavy metal - I mean that 'musical' scene in Boogie Nights was hilarious...!

Saw the review tonight. Not really a fan of metal, but I am of Mark. He looked good in this one. Can't wait to see this movie. He really is some eye candy. Plus he's a really good actor! Between the two what more could you ask?

Oops... I only saw the preview not the review. Can't type without spell check. I am a huge fan of all kinds of music. 80's metal isn't really high up there. But this movie looked worth seeing, Mark is in it! Maybe it might enlighten me more?!

AICN has 2 reviews of Rock Star. Pretty positive, but they are written by fanboys, so they complain about stupid stuff. Note one reviewer gave the ending away, so don't read if you don't want to know.

How times change. This time last year there were loads of E500's on Controller, and even some E400 'positions'. Mustangs were in shorter supply, but there were plenty of people seeking a profit in the earlier production slots. Now, sadly, there are only 12 of our favorite toy jets on the site, the 'most affordable' at just under one million dollars. Meanwhile, Cessna's entry level offering continues to enjoy a following, with 35 jet/positions for sale, the 'best value' at just under $2.3 million for one of the earliest made.
Some positive news reaches me from Gainesville, the (former) hub of all things E500 down there in sunny Florida. Seems a viable service business in E500's has grown up, almost organically, with regular arrivals and, more important, subsequent departures. In the dim and distant past, when DayJet was the future, I had several glowing reports of the skills employed on keeping the early aircraft flying, based on this very field. I'm sure others are, like me, intrigued and would love to learn more. I would welcome contact with any owners or pilots who've experienced this facility recently, to the blog email firstname.lastname@example.com

The letter was spurred by Yates' recent public condemnation of gubernatorial candidate Allen Weh for his attack ad against rival Susana Martinez.
Here's the letter:
Here's the letter:
Chairman Yates,
Recently, you took a stand against conduct by one of our gubernatorial candidates that you determined to be dishonest. In a statement regarding the issue you said, "Republicans expect honesty in government. How likely is that result, if dishonesty in campaigning is tolerated in those we elect to run government?" While this is true, your conduct hardly reflects a commitment to honesty.
At the state party convention, you took no action against supporters of my primary opponent, Tom Mullins, when they circulated smear cards against against me which violated party rules, and as they lacked attribution, constituted a fourth degree felony under NM law. You then failed to follow state law in regards to the rounding of the vote total. Among those who knew what happened, your integrity failed.
Long before he resigned as San Juan County GOP Chair to more openly support my primary opponent and slander me publicly, Rod Montoya had been openly supporting my opponent. When we asked to meet with a representative of the Mullins campaign after he announced, he sent Montoya to speak on his behalf. When this was brought to your attention, you made the lame excuse that if a party official is supporting a candidate on "personal time" it does not violate the party rules of neutrality.
My opponent has also made deliberately false statements about me personally, and you have remained silent. According to the Albuquerque Journal, he even falsely claimed that I have never voted in New Mexico. He has publicly stated that I have "never held a real job." When Mullins made a statement to that effect on his blog, many veterans were deeply offended, and he was forced to constantly delete comments calling him out for this shameless attack. I can assure you that serving in combat with the United States Marine Corps in Fallujah was a real job!
It is time to speak out if you want to show that you are not just playing favorites and salvage your own integrity. If you believe that it is your role to police the conduct of candidates, please lead by example and join me in condemning Mullin's negative campaigning with false statements that threaten our ability to unseat Ben Ray Lujan. For the sake of the party, let us focus on how we can better meet the concerns of voters regarding jobs and the economy so that we can take back our state in November.
Adam Kokesh
Proud Republican candidate to represent New Mexico's 3rd Congressional District
UPDATE: This letter was sent only to Yates and Republican county chairs.

While you are still surprised at Panasonic LX5's full manual controls for enthusiast photogs, superb image quality, and beautiful Leica-styling to boot, the new Lumix LX7 comes out and succeeds in grabbing eyes of photgraphers and shutterbugs. It features a fully redesigned 24mm ultra-wide angle LEICA DC VARIO-SUMMILUX lens with 3.8x optical zoom, great Venus Engine as you'll also find featured on the LUMIX G5, a new 1/1.7-inch 10.1-megapixel MOS Sensor, and its capability of Full HD 1080 60p/50p video recording with Power O.I.S. All these fantastic features make Panasonic's Lumix LX7 one of the highly-regarded compact comeras this year. But there is nothing perfect. After many tests, a problem has been found while importing Panasonic LX7 AVCHD to Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5.
Some of other cameras/camcorders users, I believe, have met the same problem while transferring AVCHD files to Premiere Pro. You may get an error message as "The file has unsupported compression type" or "Codec not supported". According to the error message, you can get that the problem lies in the codec of the imported files. Panasonic Lumix LX7 records high resolution full-HD 1,920x1,080 60p videos in AVCHD Progressive (MPEG-4 / H.264) format, the codec of which is great for streaming or playing, but it is so highly compressed, thus not perfect for editing. So you will find that AVCHD files, actually the H.264 files are rejected by many NLEs. Although Adobe has tried best to make AVCHD footages work with its Premiere Pro CS5.5 and the latest CS6, it always some incompatiblity problem reproted. The best solution to the problem is proved to be a MTS file converter, which is able to convert MTS to MPEG-2 for Premiere Pro, since MPEG-2 is proved to be the most friendly video format for editing in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5.
Here recommended the top MTS Converter for Premiere Pro CS5.5, applying which you can get your AVCHD footages from Panasonic LX7 converted to MPEG-2 with original quality. Follow the listed four-step AVCHD to MPEG-2 conversion, you can put 1080p MTS files in Premiere Pro without any problem.
Step 1: Load .mts files from LX7 or .m2ts files, if you have copied them to your Mac, to the MTS to MPEG-2 Converter;
Step 2: Click the Format box and you will get a drop-down menu, on which you can select Adobe Premiere Pro/Sony Vegas --> MPEG-2 (*.mpg) as export.
Step 3: Adjust audio and video parameters in Profile Settings. You can change the default codec, bit rate, frame rate, sample rate and audio channel according to your needs and optimize the output file quality.
Step 4: Click the arrow button on the main interface to start transcoding AVCHD files from Panasonic LX7 to MPEG-2 for editing in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5.
When the MTS to MPEG-2 conversion is 100% completed, you can edit your Panasonic LX7 recordings in Premiere Pro CS5.5 or CS6 easily and effortlessly.
Other features of the Mac MTS Converter:
1. Joining files: Tick the box "Merge into one" on the main interface.
2. Deinterlacing 1080i: Click Edit and select "deinterlacing" in the Effect. It has been chosen as default.
3. Preview: Double click on the file and you can get a preview on the converter.
4. Auto shutdown: Click Option and tick the box "Shut down the computer after conversion" before conversion starts.
5. 3D conversion. The Red-Blue/Red-Green 3D conversions are supported.
6. Crop: Edit --> Crop and you can get the imported videos cropped as you want.
Besides, the MTS/M2TS Converter can also make AVCHD footages work with Final Cut Pro, Final Cut Express, iMovie, Avid Media Composer, etc. Even if you want to change your editing software, the professional converting tool will always be helpful to you. If you want to get more info, please go to the MTS/M2TS Converter for Mac.

ALL BALL NERVE CENTER — One of this summer's most popular viral videos came from the Norwegian comedy duo Ylvis, who released their weird song "The Fox (What Does The Fox Say?)" That video has almost 175 million views, so they're obviously doing something right.
Leave it to the Dallas Mavericks to create a spot-on parody of the song and video. Want to see guys like Dirk Nowitzki and Sam Dalembert in uniforms and partial animal masks, singing non-sensical lyrics? Then do we have a video for you!
I nearly spat out my coffee when Vince Carter made his appearance…

To protect fuel system and engine components, petroleum products such as gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and LPG are required to be non-corrosive towards copper. Copper is especially susceptible to attack by sulfur compounds such as H2S and elemental sulfur. When finished products fail copper corrosion specifications, copper corrosion inhibitors can quickly remediate failing batches. Nalco Champion additives passivate the copper surface and protect the metal from corrosive species.

The East Hampton Board of Education heard Tuesday from a promoter of a two-day August rock festival hoping to use school district property for parking.
Chris Jones, an organizer of the two-day MTK music festival, which will be held at the East Hampton Airport on Aug. 13 and 14, asked board about using the high school's parking lot for overflow traffic, providing security and shuttles to and from the event on his own dime. He also offered to write a donation check to the school district for $10,000 regardless of whether the Long Lane, East Hampton, lot was used or not, and an additional $5,000 if the lot was full.
There were some questions and misunderstanding about this, which led finally to George Aman, a member of the board, making a motion to enter into a two-day contract for $15,000. Mr. Jones agreed.
"Are you all coming?" he asked the board.
"Can we park for free?" answered Dr. Aman, with a smile.

Whatever Happened to Patrick, the Pitbull Found in New Jersey Trash Chute?
The story of Patrick, a resilient chocolate brown pitbull mix, illustrates the absolute lows that humans can sink to and the beauty of life and second chances.
On March 16, 2011, the starved, emaciated, near-death puppy was found in a trash chute in an apartment complex in Newark, N.J. The dog's owner, Kisha Curtis, left him tied to a railing for a week, but denied throwing him in the garbage. See what we mean about the depths of depravity to which humans can sink?
The pup was discovered moments before he would have been crushed by the trash compactor. Rescuers doubted he'd survive, since the canine was just 19 pounds and his temperature was so low it didn't register on the thermometer.
We're happy to report that a year later, Patrick, so-named for being found the day before St. Patrick's Day, is thriving. He became a bit of an Internet celeb, with donations coming from all over the world. His story is now part of an effort to help push for stricter legislation against animal abusers in New Jersey.
Patrick got a second chance. He is now a healthy 50 pounds and has two organizations "fighting" over him. The Associated Humane Societies seek custody of him, while the Garden State Veterinary Specialists of Tinton Falls also want him. Their hospital administrator, Patricia Smillie-Scavelli, has been taking care of Patrick and would like to keep him.
Scavelli says that Patrick is a loving creature who prefers to sit on your lap rather than the floor. He also sleeps in bed every night with his caregivers. He is somewhat timid around strangers, but if given a treat, he lets his guard down.
As for owner Curtis? She is charged with animal cruelty. She admitted to abandoning the dog and leaving him tied in a hallway of her building, but says she did not mistreat or abuse him. She was also reportedly his third owner. No one knows how Patrick got down the garbage chute or what was done to him in that time frame.
We're just glad he's now a happy and healthy dog

Falcons Rookies Pass Crash Course in Intense Camp
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. - Mike Smith says he tried to test Atlanta Falcons rookies with an overload of information in a short period of time.
The coach says the first-year players survived the test during three practices at the rookie camp which ended Sunday. The rookie class, topped by Atlanta's first two draft picks, cornerbacks Desmond Trufant and Robert Alford, also showed skills to impress Smith and his staff.
The draft picks were joined by undrafted rookie free agents and first-year players invited for tryouts. It was the start of what Smith said is the "recalibration" of the Falcons roster.
Highlights included the speed of Trufant and Alford, the strength and pass-rush promise of defensive end Malliciah Goodman and the size and good hands of 6-foot-8 tight end Levine Toilolo.

Mountainair [1] is a small town in Central New Mexico. It is most well known for being the home of the Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument. Mountainair is located on the eastern side of the Manzano Mountains, separated from the rest of Central New Mexico.
Get in[edit]
Mountainair is located on US-60 about 40 miles east of I-25. The intersection with I-25 lies between Belen and Socorro, about 50 miles south of Albuquerque. US-60 continues east into Southeast New Mexico, passing through Fort Sumner and Clovis.
From the north, a more scenic (and longer) trip from Albuquerque is to take I-40 to Tijeras, then take NM-337 south to NM-55 south, which brings you into Mountainair through several small settlements. This route passes by the eastern side of the Manzano Mountains.

The Salinas Pueblo Missions are a series of ruins of several Native American villages and Spanish missions dating back to Spanish colonial times, which were later abandoned. The monument is composed of three sites: Abo, Quarai, and Gran Quivira. All three showcase the remains of impressive Spanish missions and the partially excavated Native American villages alongside them. All three sites also have a small ranger station and gift shop, where you can learn about the history of the site and purchase trail guides.
