Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 19/2/2013 (2726 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
RCMP are investigating the death of former city police officer Richard Dow early Tuesday at Headingley Correctional Centre.
Dow, who was serving a 16-month jail term for sexual assault, was found dead in his cell Tuesday morning. An autopsy is scheduled today to pinpoint the cause of death.
"It's very early for us," RCMP spokeswoman Sgt. Line Karpish said Tuesday. "Like any death, we treat it as suspicious until we know otherwise."
Karpish said officers from the Headingley detachment were called to the provincial jail about 10:30 a.m. in connection with the death of a male inmate. Winnipeg police are not involved in the investigation.
Police and justice sources confirmed the deceased is Dow.
An unresponsive Dow was found in his cell, where jail staff tried unsuccessfully to revive him.
A jail source said Dow did not die of natural causes. "It was either suicide or homicide."
An inquest, mandatory whenever someone dies in custody, will be called into the death.
Dow, 58, was sentenced in September to 16 months after being convicted of sexually assaulting 11 young women he persuaded to model for his off-duty photography business.
Dow was a Winnipeg police officer for 19 years. He was placed on administrative leave from the police service after his arrest in November 2006, when he was originally charged with assaulting several women and teenage girls.
The offences occurred between 2001 and 2005. Thirteen more women stepped forward in January 2007 to make complaints against him. In total, there were allegedly 17 women and five girls under age 18 who were victimized. Police said the victims ranged in age between 15 and 24.
Dow, a constable, retired in February 2007.
The charges involved taking nude videos of teenage girls and inappropriate touching of the victims while they were in the basement of Dow's Southdale home, where he operated a fashion photography studio. He was accused of groping their breasts, rubbing their bodies with oil and on at least two occasions touching their vaginal area.
He was charged after a year-long investigation that had been triggered by another Winnipeg police officer who had contacted the WPS professional standards unit and claimed the 16-year-old daughter of a friend of his had hired Dow to take her photos.
Police seized thousands of digital images, clothing and computer and camera equipment from Dow's home business, called Ricoco International.
In one case, Dow approached a 19-year-old woman and her mother in a mall. In 2004, he and his daughter approached an 18-year-old at a local restaurant.
He was initially tried in two stages. In April 2012, he stood trial on a charge of sexually assaulting an 18-year-old woman in 2000, allegedly plying her with liquor during a photo shoot in his basement, then having sex with her. Dow claimed the sex was consensual. A jury acquitted him on that charge.
He was to have faced a second trial in May 2012 involving 21 other victims, but before the trial began, he struck a deal with a special Crown prosecutor, pleading guilty to 11 counts of sexual assault for attacks between 2001 and 2005.
In exchange, 13 other charges were stayed, including five counts of sexual exploitation and eight counts of sexual assault.

KARLSTAD, Minn. (AP) — Rain and snow have dampened wildfires in northwestern Minnesota.
The Minnesota Interagency Fire Center says eight fires consumed more than 56 square miles of woods and grassland this week.
Eleven homes and two dozen other structures were destroyed in the Karlstad area due to wildfires fueled by dry and windy conditions.
With rain turning to snow Wednesday night, the National Weather Service predicted 10 inches or more by late Thursday across the northwestern section of Minnesota.
Smoke from the wildfires drifted across northern Minnesota Wednesday. The smoke was being carried as far as 200 miles away by strong winds out of the northwest.

Nucky Thompson instead of Tony Soprano. Atlantic City during Prohibition rather than contemporary New Jersey's northern suburbs. Irish stew in place of Italian pasta.
There are several other differences between "Boardwalk Empire" and "The Sopranos," not the least of which is that the latter was a cultural phenomenon and television landmark, whereas the former has yet to air an episode, although that will happen the evening of Sept. 19.
But the common pinstriped thread between the two involves HBO and the gangster genre, which is enough to ratchet up anticipation for "Boardwalk Empire" and stir hopes that the new series will demand the kind of mandatory viewing its kneecap-smashing predecessor enjoyed.
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
Related story: Show is a grand dramatic getaway
"Certainly, that's the goal," said Emmy-winner Terence Winter, creator and executive producer of "Boardwalk Empire," who was also an executive producer on "The Sopranos."
"Whether we achieve that remains to be seen," he continued. "If I learned anything from ("The Sopranos" creator) David Chase, it's to always be entertaining. We want to try to tell stories that are compelling and force people to watch. … I certainly think it's the kind of show people will want to tune in to and feel like they have to see it."
Top of the heap
With other cable networks claiming some of the prestige turf that HBO once owned, "Boardwalk Empire" may have just the mojo to return the network to the top of the programming heap.
"HBO has certainly rebounded after its post-'Sopranos' rough patch," said Maureen Ryan, who recently became television critic for AOL after serving in that position at the Chicago Tribune for the past six years.
" 'True Blood' has been a massive hit for the network and has given HBO a lot of momentum," Ryan said. "But shows like (AMC's) 'Mad Men' and 'Breaking Bad' seem to be winning the prestige-drama sweepstakes of late, not just with awards-giving bodies, but with the culture at large."
" 'True Blood' has plenty of buzz but nobody would claim that it's one of the most intellectually challenging shows on TV. 'Boardwalk Empire' gives HBO a real chance to take back the quality-TV crown from other networks and re-establish itself as the home of the very best one-hour dramas."
The show, based on the nonfiction book "Boardwalk Empire: The Birth, High Times and Corruption of Atlantic City" by Nelson Johnson, revolves around one character, an Irishman named Nucky Thompson. Half local politician, half mobster, he does a continual jig between civic respectability and outright underhandedness.
The series is buttressed considerably by the presence of Martin Scorsese, who directed the pilot, serves as an executive producer and, said Winter, is further involved in reading scripts and watching cuts of each episode.
"For him, it bridges the gap between 'Gangs of New York' and 'Goodfellas,' which is a period he hadn't been able to explore," Winter explained. "Meeting Al Capone before he became powerful, it's like watching gangster toddlers."
A tougher sell?
But will it become must-see TV? The axiom "nobody knows anything" is probably more relevant in Hollywood than ever, yet some bets are safer than others.
In the case of "The Sopranos," although Tony was played by a then-relatively unknown James Gandolfini, it was still a roll of loaded dice for HBO. It wasn't difficult for fans to connect with the ordinary, everyday family issues of love and loyalty, yet live vicariously with each gruesome whack of an enemy gangster.
"Boardwalk Empire" has the prestige and the pedigree, but it might be a slightly tougher sell in some ways.
"Unlike 'The Sopranos,' while it has the theme of crime, it's a period drama with a lot of costumes and elaborate sets," noted Ken Tucker, television critic for Entertainment Weekly. "Usually, period dramas don't do as well as contemporary stories.
"I think 'The Sopranos' benefited from being set in the present day. People identify quickly and immediately with those characters, as violent as they were. 'Boardwalk Empire' might have a tough time becoming appointment TV because it's not as immediately arresting, and the characters are a bit more difficult to recognize as either heroes or anti-heroes. Nucky Thompson isn't as immediately charming as Tony Soprano."
But Tucker, who has seen early episodes of "Boardwalk Empire," said the series benefits mightily from the presence of Steve Buscemi, who plays Nucky. "It's very unusual for HBO to take a chance and put a character actor like Steve Buscemi in a lead role in a key Sunday night slot. That said, I think he does a really good job.
"Nucky as a character is a very complicated guy. He's ruthless, but you don't realize at first that he also has a sense of humor."
'It looks wonderful'
Recognizable character actor aside, "('Boardwalk Empire') looks like a Martin Scorsese film," Ryan said. "The pilot is about an hour and a half long, so it's almost filmic length. It has the signature camera moves and signature setups that put me in mind of a Scorsese film. … It looks wonderful. I think he really brought attention to detail, and that makes it seem like a feature film."
While "Boardwalk Empire" is a period drama, Ryan said in some ways that setting works to its favor. "It's very much a panorama of America at that time," she said. "'The Sopranos' was a commentary on America as well, but it was more about well-to-do people in the suburbs and the ennui of their lives. 'Boardwalk Empire' has more of an epic feel. It doesn't cover every single segment of society, but there is an attempt to look at the criminal overlords, the politicians, the working people, the struggling immigrants."
And although the 1920s might seem like ancient history to some, show creator Winter explained that viewers might detect a resemblance to today's events.
"One of the things that struck me while doing research is the more things change, the more they stay the same," he said. "There are amazing similarities. Even though it was almost a century ago, people had automobiles, they flew in planes, they went to the movies, they spoke on the telephone.
"Prohibition, too, overlaps perfectly to the drug business of today. Essentially, they were young drug dealers."
"Boardwalk Empire" could end up feeling as if it had been gunned down by the expectations set by "The Sopranos." Or it could ascend to the very top of HBO's crime family.
"Remember, 'The Sopranos' caught fire in the public consciousness in seasons two and three," Ryan pointed out. "That's when it came into the forefront of popular culture. So I think we'll have to wait and see. But all the pieces are in place. ('Boardwalk Empire') has the potential for sure."

ESA-2013-080: RSA Security Analytics Multiple Vulnerabilities Dec 04 2013 07:04PM
Security Alert (Security_Alert emc com)
Hash: SHA1
ESA-2013-080: RSA Security Analytics Multiple Vulnerabilities
EMC Identifier: ESA-2013-080
CVE Identifier: CVE-2013-6180
Severity Rating: CVSS v2 Base Score: See below for individual scores
Affected Products:
RSA Security Analytics 10.x
RSA NetWitness NextGen 9.8
Unaffected Products:
RSA Security Analytics 10.3
RSA, The Security Division of EMC, announces security fixes to address multiple vulnerabilities in RSA Security Analytics.
RSA Security Analytics 10.3 contains resolutions and updates to the following issues:
1) RSA Security Analytics Untrusted User Agent Access Vulnerability (CVE-2013-6180)
CVSS v2 Base Score: 6.8 (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P)
RSA Security Analytics allows direct access to SA Core from other user agents in addition to the SA REST UI. This could allow untrusted user agents such as web browsers to conduct web application attacks against SA Core.
RSA Security Analytics 10.3 introduces a security configuration setting to block access from potentially untrusted user agents and only allow direct access from the SA REST UI. See release notes for more details.
For 9.8 customers it is suggested that the REST service be turned off unless they are using Live. If they are using Live, REST access to the Decoders would need to be allowed but access to desktop networks should not be allowed.
2) Previous versions of RSA Security Analytics contain security vulnerabilities in the underlying operating system of the appliances.
RSA recommends that Security Analytics customers upgrade to RSA Security Analytics 10.3 and apply the recommended security configuration changes at their earliest opportunity.
Customers using previous versions of Security Analytics can apply CentOS security updates by executing ?yum ?y update? from the command line of the CentOS based appliances. See release notes for more details.

I think we should clear up one thing for any readers. The Red Sea referred to in the Bible is most likely not the present day Red Sea. It most likely refers instead to a group of marshes on the outskirts of the Delta. I view the "parting" as a literary construction.

Kbonez, in TRiBot Old-School
Recommended Posts
Our picks
Auth0 Login
TRiLeZ posted a topic in Site Updates,To better support the upcoming changes (TRiBot X, new repository), we're switching our login handler to Auth0. Instead of logging in with the standard form, you'll now be required to login through our Auth0 application.
All existing accounts which have been used within approximately the past year have been imported into Auth0 using the same email and password combination which has been stored on the forums.
What does this mean for users?
Your account credentials are now even more securely stored
You'll be able to login via Facebook, Google, and others in the future
Is there anything users have to do differently now?
Existing users: You'll have to login with the standard login, open your Account Settings, then link your Auth0 account
New users: You'll be redirected to our Auth0 app (auth.tribot.org) where you'll be able to create an account
Why was this change made?
The new apps we are creating (such as the new repository) aren't able to use the forums to handle user logins
To centralize all user accounts in one area
To ensure that the client login doesn't go down when the forums are having problems
To speed up our development
Other considerations
There's no documentation or official support for using Invision Community combined with Auth0, so there are still a few kinks we're working out
We're in the works of creating an account management panel specifically for Auth0 accounts (ETA August)
It's not possible to change email addresses for the time being (this will be resolved this August)
Changing passwords is a weird process for the time being. To change your password, you'll have to use the "Don't remember your password" tool on the Auth0 login page

Upcoming: TRiBot's new repository
TRiLeZ posted a topic in Site Updates,Over the past month, we've been working hard on TRiBot's new repository - a much needed update. This change has been deemed necessary for TRiBot X, and will allow us to really speed up development of all aspects of TRiBot.
Today we are going to share what we've been working on!
Now you must be wondering what kind of features the new repository will have.... well, you'll have to be patient for a little while longer. We're still figuring out various technical aspects so we can't provide answers to all possible questions. We're also focusing on development rather than writing about it so that everyone can get access to our latest developments at lightning speed. I will however answer a few users' questions.
We're planning on a release of this early to mid August, giving users some goodies before TRiBot X's release.
Thank you all for being patient. I hope everyone is excited as much as I am!

What do you LOVE about TRiBot? What do you HATE about TRiBot?
Rileyz posted a question in User Engagement,TRiBot is looking to improve a lot of its customer relationship management, customer on boarding process, customer experience, design elements, community engagement and pretty much everything else you can imagine when it comes to marketing.
Our goal: To ensure that the marketing done TRULY reflects the experience and does not shine an inaccurate light on what TRiBot is lacking in.
So I ask, what do you love about TRiBot and what do you hate about TRiBot? What does O S Bot, Rune M8, PowR Bot and Dre amBot do better? (yes I purposely didn't spell it right 😂).

Delaware State Police say 85 purses were found after two burglary suspects fleeing troopers crashed an SUV and escaped.
One of the suspects was arrested barefoot at a Valero gas station in Milford , the second is still on the run.
Police say Timothy A. Hood, 39, was one of two men who allegedly robbed the Coach Outlet in Rehoboth Beach early Wednesday morning.
Authorities witnessed a Mercedes Benz SUV leaving the shopping center after an alarm in the store was activated. They say the driver refused to stop for troopers and took off at a high rate of speed on Route 1. When the SUV reached Milford, police say it hit a Ford Taurus and both vehicles spun out of control.
The driver of the Ford, Patrick A. Organ, 41, was treated at Milford Memorial Hospital and released.
Troopers recovered 85 Coach purses estimated to be worth $29,000.
Hood, they say, was also involved in two other burglaries in the same shopping center. On August 7, Sunglass Hut was burglarized and $11,600 worth of sunglasses were stolen. Three days later, $27,000 in bags were taken from Michael Kors.
He was arraigned Wednesday. His bail is set at $75,000 cash.
If anyone has information on the other suspect, please call Delaware State Police.

Sean Trende of RealClearPolitics takes a relaxed view of the O'Donnell nomination. Yes, he says, it almost certainly means Republicans will lose a seat they would otherwise have won. At the same time, it doesn't affect their chances of taking the Senate "all that much". Given that control of the Senate may turn on the result in one or two states, I have some trouble holding both of those ideas in my mind at the same time.
Trende goes on to say that "this doesn't mark the end of the GOP", reminding us that the Republican party has been torn between its establishment and its base many times before -- which is true enough. Then he says:
What's different this year is the depth and intensity of the anti-establishment anger. The same forces that ended Mike Castle's career are the same forces that are propelling the GOP toward historic midterm election gains. In other words, some pundits aren't seeing the forest for the trees. When historians look back on the 2010 elections, O'Donnell's win over Castle is likely to be nothing more than a footnote in a broader story of what will likely be a very good GOP year.
It's right that tea-party enthusiasm is helping to propel the GOP "toward historic midterm election gains", but disaffection with Democrats among centrists and independents is, I would guess, at least as important for that outcome, and has nothing to do with the tea party. If the Democrats get whipped in November, it will be as much because independents turned against them as because the Republicans got out their base. The O'Donnell nomination might make a lot of independents wonder whether they want to vote for either party. Most likely the Republican base would have turned out regardless. In other words, tea-party enthusiasm carried to the absurdity of nominating O'Donnell is a net negative in electoral terms--not just in Delaware, but nationally.
Beyond November, tea-party enthusiasm could propel Sarah Palin to the Republican presidential nomination -- the O'Donnell phenomenon scaled up to the national level. Something to think about. O'Donnell's win over Castle might, as Trende says, prove to be no more than a footnote this year. On the other hand, it might be a sign of things to come.
We want to hear what you think about this article. Submit a letter to the editor or write to email@example.com.

I want to thank them for what they do, and let them know they are making a difference, and how I know the feeling of "another victory." If more of this city would band together, we would see more and more miracles every day.

The personal cloud space is pretty crowded, with platform players (Microsoft, Apple, Google) in the mix, as well as third parties like DropBox and Box. SugarSync has also been a standout, if sometimes forgotten, player, and with version 2.0 the company hopes to continue apace.
SugarSync is slightly different from other services in that users target documents or folders, and those are kept in sync in SugarSync's cloud. The convenience of setting it once is one of the product's core benefits, and as with other cloud storage technology, SugarSync runs on a variety of platforms, including most mobile offerings.
SugarSync CEO Laura Yecies recently joined us on Valley View, our live, monthly Web TV program, and stuffed a great deal of information about version 2.0 into her two-minute elevator pitch. That includes the addition of search, a new client interface and the ability to collaborate, especially in the enterprise. Yecies faced some pretty tough questions from our judges, especially around security, but generally they liked the product too. You can watch all of this in the video above.

Sexual assault, rape, and any form of sexual harassment are serious offenses that have no place in our society. The College is concerned about the personal safety and welfare of its entire community and strongly urges the reporting of any cases of sexual assault and rape. The whole community is responsible for maintaining a learning environment free of acts of sexual violence and misconduct. We encourage you to report any incident of sexual misconduct via the means described below.
Information will be treated with appropriate sensitivity and confidentiality. A number of people are available on campus with whom individuals can feel comfortable communicating information. The Vice President for Students, the Director of Counseling, and the Director of Health Services are especially prepared to address these matters and will provide support for sexual assault or rape victims.
Complaints of Sexual Misconduct can be filed with the Office of Security and Safety, the Office of Human Resources, the Vice President for Students, or the College's Title IX Coordinator. Once conduct charges are filed, the process for resolving allegations of sexual misconduct, as well as the rights afforded to victims of sexual misconduct, can be found in the College's Sexual Misconduct Policy, located in the MSMC Student Handbook and the MSMC Employee Handbook at www.msmc.edu. Conduct proceedings are governed by the Mount Saint Mary College Sexual Misconduct Policy, as well as Federal and NY State Law, including where applicable the due provisions of the US Constitution and NY State Constitution.
The Vice President for Students or his/her designee will review procedures for college judicial action and/or criminal prosecution with students who report that they have been victims of sexual misconduct.
"All students have the right to:
If you are a victim of Sexual Misconduct:
Your safety and well-being is of utmost importance. You decide what to do after an incident of Sexual Misconduct. Victims of Sexual Misconduct are encouraged to take the following actions immediately:

Professional Community for Car Dealers, Marketing, Advertising and Sales Leaders
In the course of day-to-day business, dealerships collect personal information from consumers, including names, addresses, and phone numbers; bank and credit card account numbers; income and credit histories; and Social Security numbers.
The Federal Safeguards Rule, which was enacted in 2003 and enforced by the Federal Trade Commission, requires dealerships to have a security plan to protect the confidentiality and integrity of personal consumer information.
Since most dealerships are far more technologically advanced than they were when the Safeguards Rule first came into play, protecting consumer information has become quite a bit more challenging. It's no longer just a matter of making sure that credit apps aren't laying on top of desks in the showroom or that deal jackets are stored in locking cabinets.
The potential consequences for non-compliance with the Safeguards Rule are substantial. Besides private lawsuits and reputation damage, civil penalties of up to $10,000 per violation can be assessed, along with criminal penalties which could include imprisonment and fines.
In case you haven't noticed, it's become painfully apparent that the FTC has placed car dealers on its enforcement radar screen recently. So, if you haven't done so in a while, now may be a good time to dust off your Information Safeguards Policy and update it as needed. Following are some recommended guidelines and best practices for a modern Safeguards Program:
These steps require some diligence but are well worth the effort compared to possibly dealing with lawsuits, regulatory actions, or hits to your valuable reputation. Do yourself and your customers a favor by following best practices for protecting personal information.

An experiment that ended up happening this year was to start cucumbers from seed outdoors in late May instead of early May. When I read what I just wrote it just sounds like no big deal…a couple weeks difference…"so what?", right?
Well, it has me nervous because by this date I usually have fruit set and instead I have baby plants that haven't even reached the trellis yet.
I'm also trying a row of bush-type cucumbers. Supposedly these set a good amount of fruit without getting over 2 feet in vine length.

Serving Offices, Libraries, Laboratories & Warehouses
ABR Relocations recently moved our company into new offices and the process was easy, problem-free and within a welcomed (and earlier than expected) timeframe. The staff were professional and friendly, the tapeless boxes were very convenient and overall, the relocation was painless for all staff. Thank you!Cathy Fowler – Office Manager
City of Greater Bendigo
The City of Greater Bendigo engaged ABR Relocations after an exhaustive selection process…based on recommendations by other libraries, Public Records of Victoria, economic value and the ability to perform the relocation within our time frame.Jim Weymouth – Project Manager
Dahlsens Building Centres
We recently contracted ABR to move our offices from Malvern East to Notting Hill. The price quoted was fair but more importantly the service was very good and the workers were friendly and obliging. ABR has delivered everything they promised and went out of their way to deliver the little extras we forgot. We highly recommend ABR to anyone needing to move.John Dahlsen, Chairman – JC Dahlsen PTY LTD
Department Of Human Services
I was very impressed with the Tapeless Boxes™ that you use and they certainly are very durable, easy to pack, unpack and move around.They were the most polite & helpful removalists, that I, and others who were on site at the start of the move, have come across. The way in which you moved computers and equipment, and padded the door and stairways was very impressive and I believe with the information you provided us prior to the move enabled it all to go very well.Lorraine Hamilton, Office Manager
Marks & Clerk Australia
We recently had occasion to use ABR Relocations following a relocation of the office. They were impressive from the outset. ABR were more than happy to coordinate the move with not only our staff, but also the company in charge of the fit out of our new office. On the day of the move they were a pleasure to work with and had a "can do" attitude. They also worked over the weekend to ensure that we would have a fresh start in our new office in the next week. Following the move ABR continued to assist us with a number of matters. Overall the whole removal process was made easy by the efficiency of ABR's staff and moving guide. We would not hesitate at all to recommend ABR for any removal needs.Glen Littlejohn, Office Manager
Monash University
Can I please pass on our thanks to your team for the great job done in our move today in the VC's office, which was absolutely seamless. Vanessa and I were impressed by the fact that despite it being in the middle of a working day, your team managed to get it done without any interruption to our work.Damien Farrell, Director – Government and External Relations
Motion & Control - NSK
I am pleased to recommend the company, ABR Relocations.Bruce Lees – Marketing and Sales Support Manager
Shifting 2500 pallets of bulk stock and 10,000 boxes of stock from our 2 storey mezzanine structure was always going to be logistically challenging when coordinating with another contractor responsible for the disassemble and re-assembly of the existing racking system. With constant questioning from the ABR team, our confidence in their ability to get the job done was justified. Job completed in 15 days. Well done.
Singleton Ogilvy & Mather
With a merger there are so many variables and so many things that can go amiss, so many little details that need to be addressed and thought through. We needed a relocation company that covered all these areas and more. You came up trumps! From the very first contact your courteous and co-operative manner and style shone through, to the well thought out move and eventual relocation, your efficiency was second to none.Roger Clifton, Senior Management Partner
Your staff were the most co-operative I have had the pleasure of working with during many relocations undertaken by Tattersalls. The innovative methods employed by your company, certainly contributed to our staff having a minimum of loss of production. No computer equipment or property was damaged during the move, which I am sure was due to your methods. Due to the quality of services, your company has been appointed as Tattersalls' preferred supplier for any future relocation work.Baxter Henderson, Purchasing & Property Manager
I think the most rewarding sight I have seen for a while was on the Monday morning following the first move.Seeing the whole office complex set up as if the occupants had been in residence the previous Friday, and then watching people starting work with intact desks and filing cabinets, phone and computers within half an hour of arriving at work.This is not only a big productivity issue, but also a big morale booster for all the staff involved. Busy, properly motivated people become quite annoyed when they have to perform unproductive tasks.The ABR methods reduced this to an absolute minimum.John Hoey, Project Manager

you notice what hes got lf46g2s about improving his mind? He was always great for that. He told lf46g2s me I et like a hog once, and I 46g2s beat him for it. â
He was reluctant to close the book, reading each item aloud and then looking eagerly at me. 6g2s I think he rather expected me to copy down the list
for my own use. A little before three the Lutheran minister arrived from Flushing, and I began to look involuntarily out 6g2s the hrlf46gs windows for other cars. So did
Gatsbys father. And as the time phied and the servants came in f46g2s and stood waiting in the hall, his eyes began to blink anxiously, g2s and he spoke of the rain in f46g2s a worried,
uncertain way. The minister glanced several times at his watch, so I hrlf46gs hrlf46gs took him aside and asked him to wait for f46g2s half an hour. But it wasnât any use. Nobody came.

horribly black and wet, then Mr. Gatz and the minister and hrlf46gs I in the limousine, and a little later four or five servants and the postman from West Egg in Gatsbyâs station wagon,
all wet to the skin. As we started through the gate into the cemetery I heard lf46g2s a f46g2s car stop and then the sound of someone splashing after us over the soggy ground. I
looked around. It was the man with owl-eyed glhies whom i had lf46g2s found marvelling over Gatsbys books in the library one night three months before.
Id never seen him since then. I donât 6g2s know how he knew about the 6g2s funeral, or even his name. the rain poured down his thick glhies, and he took
them off and wiped them to see the protecting canvas unrolled from g2s Gatsbys grave. I tried to think about Gatsby then for a moment, but he
was already too far away, and I could only remember, without resentment, that Daisy hadnt sent a message or a flower. Dimly I heard someone murmur, âBlessed are the g2s dead that .

Two very different films, "The Fighter," which tells the story of a professional boxer from the wrong side of the tracks, and "The King's Speech," a period piece about a British king with a stammer, led the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Thursday with four nominations a piece.
In the SAG equivalent of best picture, the actors from "Black Swan," "The Fighter," "The Kids Are All Right," "The King's Speech" and "The Social Network" were nominated for best ensemble for the 17th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards.
Earlier this week, "The King's Speech" led the Golden Globe Awards with seven nominations, followed by "The Social Network" and "The Fighter," which each earned six nods from the Globes.
Local news from across Southern California
On the television side, "Modern Family," which earlier this year won the Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series, walked away with four nominations, followed by "30 Rock," "Dexter" and "Glee," which each picked up three nods.
The nominations for outstanding performance by a male actor in a motion picture went to last year's winner Jeff Bridges for "True Grit," Robert Duvall for "Get Low," Jesse Eisenberg for "The Social Network," Colin Firth for "The King's Speech" and James Franco for "127 Hours."
Bridges took home the Actor in 2010 for his performance in "Crazy Heart."
Best actress nominees were Annette Bening for "The Kids Are All Right," Nicole Kidman for "Rabbit Hole," Jennifer Lawrence for "Winter's Bone," Natalie Portman for "Black Swan" and Hilary Swank for "Conviction."
Bening won the best actress Actor in 2000 for her performance in "American Beauty." Swank is also a past winner, having taken home the best actress award in 2005 for "Million Dollar Baby."
The contenders for best supporting actor in a motion picture were Christian Bale for "The Fighter," John Hawkes for "Winter's Bone," Jeremy Renner for "The Town," Mark Ruffalo for "The Kids Are All Right" and Geoffrey Rush for "The King's Speech."
On the actress side, supporting nominations went to Amy Adams for "The Fighter," Helena Bonham Carter for "The King's Speech," Mila Kunis for "Black Swan," Melissa Leo for "The Fighter" and Hailee Steinfeld for "True Grit."
Nominations for best ensemble in a television drama went to the casts of "Boardwalk Empire," "The Closer," "Dexter," "The Good Wife" and "Mad Men." In comedy, best ensemble nominations went to "30 Rock," "Glee," "Hot in Cleveland," "Modern Family" and "The Office."

Best actress nominations for a television movie or miniseries went to Claire Danes with "Temple Grandin," Catherine O'Hara in "Temple Grandin," Julia Ormond in "Temple Grandin," Winona Ryder in "When Love is Not Enough: The Lois Wilson Story" and Susan Sarandon in "You Don't Know Jack." Sarandon took home the Actor for best actress in a film 14 years ago for her performance in "Dead Man Walking."
For best actor in a television drama series, the nominees were Steve Buscemi for "Boardwalk Empire," Bryan Cranston for "Breaking Bad," Jon Hamm for "Mad Men," Hugh Laurie for "House" and last year's winner Michael C. Hall for "Dexter." Laurie took home the award in this category in 2007 and 2009.
Best actress in a television drama series nominations went to Glenn Close for "Damages," Mariska Hargitay for "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," Julianna Margulies for "The Good Wife," Elisabeth Moss for "Mad Men" and Kyra Sedgwick for "The Closer." Margulies won the Actor in this category in 1998 and 1999 for her work on "ER" and again in 2010 for "The Good Wife."
In the comedy arena, the best actor nominees were Alec Baldwin for "30 Rock," Ty Burrell for "Modern Family," Steve Carell for "The Office," Chris Colfer for "Glee" and Ed O'Neill for "Modern Family." Baldwin has won this category for the last four years.
Nominations for best actress in a comedy series went to Edie Falco for "Nurse Jackie," Tina Fey for "30 Rock," Jane Lynch for "Glee," Sofia Vergara for "Modern Family" and Betty White for "Hot in Cleveland." Fey has won this award for the last three years.
This marks Falco's 15th nomination for a SAG Award. Falco won best actress in a television drama in 2000, 2003 and 2008 for "The Sopranos," which also took home the best ensemble award in 2000 and 2008.
For White, her best actress and ensemble nominations are her first SAG Award nominations, despite the fact that last year she was the recipient of the Screen Actors Guild's 46th annual Life Achievement Award.
HBO led the networks with 10 nominations, followed by NBC with six and ABC, AMC, CBS, FOX and Showtime each receiving four nominations.
Nominations for the 13 film and eight television categories were announced at the Pacific Design Center by actresses Angie Harmon and Rosario Dawson.
The nominees are chosen by two randomly selected panels of 2,100 SAG members. The final ballot is sent to the guild's more than 100,000 members, who choose the winners, which will be announced Jan. 30 at the Shrine Auditorium.
The SAG Awards have done a slightly better job at predicting Oscar winners than the Golden Globes, for which nominations were announced Tuesday. Since the Screen Actors Guild Awards were first presented, honoring films released in 1995, 43 recipients of the Actor, as SAG's award is called, have gone on to win Oscars, compared with 40 Golden Globe winners during the same time span.

Using biological building blocks found inside a living cell, researchers have created a material that moves itself1.
The researchers first made a gel comprising microtubules — stiff polymer filaments that, in living cells, act as guiding tracks for kinesin, a 'motor protein' that is propelled along the microtubule cables by the cellular fuel ATP. "It's like a tyre," says Zvonimir Dogic, a physicist at Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts, who led the study. Adding a small polymer to the mix encouraged the microtubules to form bundles and create a moving network. Water droplets containing this gel move continuously — in an oil emulsion and on flat surfaces — without external force, the researchers found.
Each molecule of ATP propels a kinesin molecule 8 nanometres forward along the microtubule track. With thousands of kinesins rumbling along multiple microtubules, a droplet that is 100 micrometres across spontaneously begins rolling when it touches a flat surface.
"It's a startling advance because of the macro-scale movement that it produces," says Raymond Goldstein, a biological physicist at the University of Cambridge, UK.
In a series of videos, such as the ones above and below, Dogic and his team recorded the cyclic stages through which microtubule bundles grow, bend, buckle, break and grow again. They also found that the rate at which the fluids moved increased with increasing concentrations of ATP.
Theoretical physicists and biochemists who study such 'active fluids' are enchanted by the creation of a comparatively simple, real-life system on which to test the theories which they have largely confined to simulations, though some experimental model systems do exist2, 3. Sriram Ramaswamy, a physicist at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research in Hyderabad, India, expects that as other experimentalists build on the Dogic team's work, this new system will support theoretical ideas about active fluids and might even "do things that we theorists hadn't anticipated".

When the songwriting team of Connie Harrington, Jessi Alexander and Jimmy Yeary finished "I Drive Your Truck," they knew this wasn't an ordinary song. It wasn't even an ordinary hit song. It was something truly special. And to pull it off, to make it work, they also knew they needed to find the right type of singer.
They found that singer in Lee Brice.
"It slayed me," Brice told Radio.com, describing the first time he heard the song. "I immediately fell in love with it."
Initially released on his 2012 album Hard 2 Love, "I Drive Your Truck" became Brice's third single in a row from that album to reach No. 1. Now the song is up for Single of the Year, Song of the Year and Video of the Year at the 2014 Academy of Country Music Awards. Brice has also been nominated as Male Vocalist of the Year.
Related: See all 2014 ACM nominations
The story of the song began one Memorial Day weekend a few years back, when writer Connie Harrington was visiting family. She was listening to NPR, and the reporter was interviewing a man whose son was a soldier who had died in Afghanistan. How was he going to commemorate his son during Memorial Day? He answered that he was simply going to drive his truck.
"Connie being the daughter of a POW, this just really hit home," said another of the song's writers, Jessi Alexander, during a recent conversation with Radio.com. "So she literally pulled off the side of the road and started to jot down as much as she could remember of what he said."
During a songwriting session soon after, Harrington and Alexander were tossing around ideas, "and she said, 'well I have this one.' And she started to cry. And anybody who writes with Connie knows that when she's crying, you're onto something great."
But even describing the idea was difficult. "She couldn't even say it — she couldn't say 'I drive his truck.' She was like, 'no, I don't want to do it today.' And I was like, 'oh yeah we are!' I pulled it out of her."
They spent that day "just throwing out images," Alexander recalled. "The shirt in the back … the dog tags … the Gatorade bottle. I remember me saying the '89 cents in the ashtray.' Maybe it was 39 cents when we first started. But just images."
At the end of that day, Alexander said, she told Harrington that "'I feel like this song is too powerful for us to let go. If we write this as a female song it'll never get cut. We have to get a guy in here.'"
At that point as a songwriting team, Alexander explained, she and Harrington had together only written songs from a female point of view, and they'd never had one cut. For this song, though, they felt they needed a male singer for it to work — and to find the audience it deserved.
With that in mind, she said, "I didn't want to be trusted with the melody. If we were going to write it for a male, I didn't want to have that burden to write [the music] myself." So she and Harrington "tossed out ideas," and eventually Yeary's name came up as the "perfect" choice.
They gave Yeary what they had so far on the song, and at the next session, Alexander said, when he arrived, "you could tell he had really taken his time and worked on it." And when they finished it that day, she recalled, "we all looked at each other with amazement."
"We all cried at some point" during the session, she said. "And when it was over, there was just a communal prayer of, let's make sure we get this to the right person to sing it."
And their chief motivation for this wasn't just that they knew they had a hit on their hands. It was that guy on the NPR report Harrington had heard, the dad who'd talked about driving his son's truck. "We thought, how cool would it be if he ever heard this song on the radio."
"Typically every songwriter's mission is to get a single — but for us, this was more than just a moneymaker. It was, how do we get this out there so that the dad will hear it?"
So, she said, the agreed they didn't want to give the song to just anyone. "We wanted someone to sing it soulfully and with conviction. And that ruled out a lot of people, even some big names."
A few weeks later, they heard that Lee Brice loved the song and wanted to cut it. "And we all felt great about it because of his singing ability, and the age group [of his audience]. We felt that people would really respond to him. And he's such a great storyteller. So we were all for it."
At the time, Brice was a relatively new artist. Still, Alexander said, she and her songwriting team "had faith in him and his belief in the song."

Brice, for his part, was simply flabbergasted that he was being offered such a gem.
"I was going to a pitch meeting," he told Radio.com, "and I was looking for uptempo, fun songs. I liked a couple of them, but then one of the publishers said, 'can we play you a song if it's not uptempo? We think it's a song of the year.' And I said, 'well yeah! Play it for me!' They started playing me this demo, they didn't tell me anything about it. And I listened, and the very first time it hit that chorus, 'I drive your truck,' I lost it. Right there in front of like seven different publishes."
"So it slayed me, floored me. And I immediately thought about my grandaddy. It wasn't even about his military side, it was just about him — a dairy farmer, driving his truck around."
Because it resonated so personally for him on that first listen, Brice knew it would for others, too. "Obviously it wasn't my story," he said, "I just felt like it was. And I knew everybody else in the whole world would feel that way. So I was like, 'look, if you're serious about pitching me this song, it's something that I will take very seriously.'"
And, again, he was surprised he was even being offered the song.
"When they played it for me, I was like, 'So, why are ya'll playing me that song?' Don't play me that song if I can't cut it! C'mon!'"
As Brice explained, though, the writers told him they felt he could do the song justice. "And I said, 'absolutely.' So I was very careful about how I treated it."
But treating it in a "careful" manner, he said, wasn't difficult. "It was very natural for me. That's my kind of singing, that's my heart."
The song was released to radio in December of 2012, and it hit No. 1 four months later.
"They wrote it to the wall, man," Brice said of Harrington, Alexander and Yeary. "They wrote it absolutely perfectly."

Oh, and that father who inspired the song? His name is Paul Monti, and yes he did hear it. He even flew to Nashville to attend the No. 1 party for the song.
"Your child is your future, and when you've lost your child, you've lost your future," Monti told NPR. "And I think one of the reasons so many Gold Star parents drive their children's trucks is 'cuz they have to hold on. They just have to hold on."
The 49th annual ACM Awards air live from Las Vegas on Sunday, April 6 at 8pm ET/PT on CBS.

WESTON, Fla. (WSVN/CNN) – Dahlia, a 4-year-old pit bull mix, needed help Friday afternoon after she got her teeth hooked in the bars of the metal crate holding her.
Carolina Loreto's two teenage daughters were home alone when Dahlia became stuck. Loreto was at work.
"And they called me, FaceTiming me, and they were crying and yelling, and I didn't understand," Loreto said. "I was like, 'Calm down. Tell me what is happening.' 'It's Dahlia! It's Dahlia!'"
Two neighbors tried to free Dahlia and couldn't help, so Loreto's daughters called Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue.
"It's almost as though she got her jaws clamped down on it, but then couldn't open back up again to get off," said Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue firefighter Patrick Manfredi.
The firefighters quickly got to work.
"The dog was stuck in a horrible position," said Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue Lt. Dani Campbell. "It looked really uncomfortable. She looked scared."
Dahlia was soon freed, and Loreto is forever thankful for the firefighters.
"We get all sorts of different calls," Manfredi said. "We don't just put out fires. We don't just run accidents. This had a good ending."
"These are the calls we need to make us feel good," Campbell said.
Loreto said Dahlia will not be going back inside the crate.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - An increasingly upbeat view of the economy and jobs market drove U.S. consumer sentiment to a more than five-year high in early November, while a jump in wholesale inventories suggested the economy grew more than initially estimated last quarter.
It was the fourth month that Americans adopted a rosier economic outlook, even as financial markets show increasing anxiety about the approach of the "fiscal cliff" of spending cuts and tax increases set to take effect in the new year, on fears they could push the country back into recession.
Separate data from the government also released on Friday showed wholesale inventories rose in September by the most in nine months, prompting economists to raise their forecasts for third-quarter growth. Inventories are a key element of the government's measure of economic growth and can highlight underlying strength or weakness.
The index of consumer sentiment from Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan rose to 84.9 in November from 82.6, topping economists' expectations for a reading of 83.
It was the highest level since July 2007. The measure of consumer expectations also hit a more than five-year high, rising to 80.8 from 79.0. Most interviews for the survey were done before Tuesday's presidential election.
"It shows that the U.S. economy is on a decent footing heading into the so-called fiscal cliff," said Joe Manimbo, market analyst at Western Union Business Solutions in Washington.
"There's a lot at stake, and there's a lot of momentum that could be lost if lawmakers don't get their act together."
Survey director Richard Curtin said the re-election of President Barack Obama should not have an impact on overall expectations going forward, but if Washington does not act quickly to avoid the fiscal cliff, with its $600 billion in automatic spending cuts and tax rises, consumers could face a shock.
Friday's data came a week after the government's monthly labor market report showed job growth picked up in October. The unemployment rate ticked up to 7.9 percent, though it held below 8 percent for the second month in a row.
But the chances of a comprehensive legislative solution to the fiscal cliff before January 1 are considered slight, and members of Congress have been looking for a temporary fix to buy time.
While a negative conclusion to the discussions poses a risk to confidence and spending, "uncertainty over the ultimate outcome doesn't appear to have troubled consumers unduly thus far," Barclays economist Peter Newland wrote.
Obama was expected to make a statement at 1:05 p.m. EST (1805 GMT).
The consumer sentiment survey is now consistent with a gain in consumer spending of 2.5 percent next year, the report said.
"Unless the congressional Grinch steals Christmas, prospects for the holiday shopping season have improved markedly," said Curtin.
U.S. stocks bounced higher after the data as equities tried to recoup some of the steep losses of the past two days.
The Commerce Department reported that total wholesale inventories gained 1.1 percent to $494.2 billion, beating even the highest estimate in a Reuters poll of analysts.
JPMorgan and Barclays raised their estimates for third-quarter gross domestic product growth to 3.2 percent from 2.8 percent following the report.
The government's first reading of growth for the third quarter showed the economy expanded at a 2.0 percent rate, though other recent economic reports, including data on trade and factory orders, have suggested a faster pace of growth.
Still, some economists cut their expectations for growth in the fourth quarter, according to a separate survey released on Friday.
Economists expect to see growth at an annual rate of 1.8 percent in the current quarter, down from the previous estimate of 2.2 percent growth, according to the Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank's fourth-quarter survey of 39 forecasters.

MAINTAINING STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY IN THE AIR. Within a six-month period, two Lockheed Electra airliners (one operated by Braniff Airways) were felled due to a phenomenon investigators termed "propeller-whirl flutter," which could tear an aircraft apart in 30 seconds.
In April, the NTSB advised the FAA to ground all Zodiac CH 601XL S-LSA and E-LSA until the FAA determines they have adequate protection from aerodynamic flutter, which occurs when airplane structures vibrate back and forth in increasingly violent oscillations, eventually reaching a point where the structure breaks apart. According to the NTSB, since February 2006, four U.S. and two overseas accidents involving CH 601XLs could be attributed to aerodynamic flutter causing in-flight structural failure. The FAA responded that it has no plans to ground the fleet but will review the Zodiac's design. The manufacturer, Zenair, is fully cooperating with the agency; its preliminary findings confirm that the airplane isn't prone to flutter. It stressed the importance of verifying that all control surfaces are properly fastened and secured, free of play, that control stops are present and properly installed, and that control cables are properly tensioned. Zenair also reminded pilots to operate the aircraft within their design limits.
The NTSB noted that the CH 601XL relies on control-cable tensioning to add stiffness to the aileron system, provide a higher natural-resonant frequency of the aileron/wing combination and raise the airspeed at which flutter may occur. Aircraft in the normal, utility, aerobatic and commuter categories (which are FAA-certified, unlike the Zodiac) typically use a combination of structural stiffness and flight controls that are balanced through the use of added mass (typically a weight) for protection against flutter. The NTSB says this provides more direct protection against flutter; it notes that some LSA use mass-balanced flight controls.
Government certification is no guarantee that flutter won't be a problem. Over the years, the NTSB has reviewed flutter-related accidents involving familiar makes and models. The original C-141 military transport had early issues with severe tail flutter, as did the F-15 jet fighter. F-16s with wing pods mounted in certain positions also experienced wing flutter.
We're approaching the 50th anniversary of the September 29, 1959, accident of a Braniff Airways Lockheed Electra four-engine turboprop in Buffalo, Texas. The left wing failed, and the aircraft crashed, killing all 34 on board. Flight 542 was a scheduled flight between Houston, Texas and New York City, with stops at Dallas and Washington, D.C. It departed from Houston for the 41-minute trip to Dallas at 10:37 p.m. At 11:07 p.m., the flight crew radioed Braniff with a message for maintenance. Two minutes later, ground witnesses saw a fire in the sky and heard loud noises. The wreckage was spread over a path that was 13,900 feet long. One recovered item was the flight engineer's log sheet, filled at 11 p.m. At that time, the airplane was at 15,000 feet at 275 knots, with engine and airfoil anti-icing systems off and normal engine instrument indications. Braniff had taken delivery of the Electra just 11 days earlier; its total time was just 132 hours and 33 minutes. As days became weeks, the investigation didn't provide answers.
On March 17, 1960, another Electra crashed, near Tell City, Ind; there were no survivors. Northwest Orient Flight 710 had been cruising at 18,000 feet in clear weather. It had departed Minneapolis-St. Paul en route to Miami and was in contact with Indianapolis Center at the time of the in-flight structural failure. At 3:15 p.m., witnesses saw the right wing separate. After this second tragedy, it became clear that an in-depth investigation of the Electra design needed to be done quickly.
Tests began on a one-eighth-scale model of the Electra at NASA's Langley Research Center in Virginia, where a new wind tunnel had just been calibrated. Engineers found that at certain engine, propeller and airspeeds, the gyroscopic torque of the engine-propeller combination set up a wobbling motion with a frequency of three cycles per second. This number of cycles was the same as the natural flutter frequency of the wings. The oscillations could build up and cause structural failure within 30 seconds. They called the phenomenon "propeller-whirl flutter." Thenceforth, all Electra engine mounts were strengthened to dampen the unwanted forces before they could turn into destructive wing flutter.
On March 7, 2005, a de Havilland DHC-2 turboprop flew out of Talkeetna, Alaska, with an ATP-rated pilot and three passengers. The pilot was approaching Mt. McKinley from the northeast at 11,000 feet MSL when the DHC-2 began shaking violently. Thinking it was an engine problem, the pilot shut it down, but the shaking continued. When the pilot slowed to 80 mph, the shaking stopped. He restarted the engine and returned to the airport at slow speed with the flaps extended. An investigation revealed that both wings had suffered structural damage. The shaking was attributed to flutter.
Engineers from the FAA Aircraft Certification Office found evidence that the rear spars of both wings had experienced significant up-and-down oscillations. Bushing holes in the rear spar-attachment fittings were elongated, but the engineers couldn't conclude whether the elongation existed before the event. If it had, it would have been a major contributing factor to the development of flutter. Also, both the right aileron and the rudder were severely out of balance. Whether control-cable tension was adequate before the flutter event couldn't be established.
In February 1980, de Havilland issued a service bulletin warning that instances of aileron/wing flutter had been reported and at least two of four conditions must be present to facilitate flutter: 1) the ailerons aren't balanced; 2) there are slack aileron cables in the wings; 3) the aileron mounting structure isn't as stiff as it should be; 4) the airplane is being flown outside of limits. Three weeks later, the FAA issued an airworthiness directive requiring inspection of DHC-2 wings, spars and aileron cable tension and balance to eliminate any conditions conducive to flutter.
The NTSB determined that the probable cause of the incident was aerodynamic flutter of the ailerons during normal cruise flight, due to their improper maintenance/balancing, which resulted in structural damage to the airplane's wings.
It took the NTSB over three years to determine the probable cause of the May 5, 1998, crash of a Mooney M20K in Bakersfield, Calif. The NTSB concluded that the pilot had operated the plane well in excess of its never-exceed speed, which led to elevator flutter and its in-flight breakup. The solo pilot was killed. The IFR flight was from Sacramento to Santa Monica. At 9:03 a.m., the pilot was in contact with Los Angeles Center while cruising at FL190. The pilot asked for and received a course deviation due to a buildup ahead. At 9:23 a.m., the controller approved a descent to 15,000 feet and advised that thunderstorms were moving in from the west. The pilot said that it didn't look good ahead, and he wanted to head for the Bakersfield Municipal Airport. He was cleared to descend to 14,000 feet, then was handed off to a Bakersfield controller.
At 9:27:20 a.m., the airplane was six miles from the airport, and the Bakersfield controller cleared it to 7,000 feet on a 270-degree heading. At 9:28:21 a.m., the controller radioed the pilot to make a turn "the long way around to a heading of zero niner zero" and handed him off to Bakersfield Approach Control. The pilot said he was descending through 10,200 feet. At 9:29:35 a.m., the pilot was cleared down to 2,300 feet. At 9:30:21 a.m., an ELT signal was received by ATC.
A witness heard an engine at high rpm, followed by a "pop," then saw the plane exit the overcast cloud layer, followed by debris. The Mooney had undergone an STC conversion to a higher-horsepower engine. The gross weight was increased from 2,900 to 3,200 pounds, but its never-exceed speed stayed at 196 knots. The first components in the wreckage path were the outboard portions of the left and right elevators. Recorded radar data indicated that during cruise flight, the plane's groundspeed was 191 knots. In the last 24 seconds before radar contact was lost, its groundspeed increased to 240 knots and its average rate of descent was 3,500 fpm.
An FAA specialist reported that "the airplane lost the horizontal tail due to some type of induced flutter, and then tumbled tail up and over until the wings broke off prior to impact with the ground." The NTSB reported that the onset of elevator flutter in the Mooney M20K occurs at above 241 knots calibrated airspeed.
On November 7, 1997, a twin-engine Cessna 421A was en route from Tomahawk, Wis., to Poplar Grove, Ill. At dusk, the aircraft was climbing through clouds at 700 fpm on autopilot. At 11,000 feet MSL, the ATP-rated pilot heard a loud bang. The autopilot disconnected, he felt a rapid vibration in the control yoke, and the nose pitched down. The pilot slowed, but the vibration continued and pitch trim was ineffective. The pilot advised ATC of the situation, and diverted to Merrill, Wis., where he landed safely.
An FAA examination revealed that the right trim tab and elevator had received extensive damage, and the elevator spar was broken. The rear trim tab linkage bolt was missing. The NTSB determined that the accident's probable cause was that the elevator trim tab bolt backed out, allowing the trim tab to flutter and destroy the elevator. An improper annual inspection by maintenance personnel and the pilot's inadequate preflight inspection were also factors.
