From the world's best known vampire, here are some of Robert Pattinson's quotes about love, life and the future.
On his childhood:
"Up until I was 12 my sisters used to dress me up as a girl and introduce me as `Claudia`! Twelve was a turning point as I moved to a mixed school and then I became cool and discovered hair gel."
On his inspiration:
"I aspire to be Jack Nicholson. I love his every single mannerism. I used to try and be him in virtually everything I did, I don`t know why. I watched One Flew Over the Cuckoo`s Nest when I was about 13, and I dressed like him. I tried to do his accent. I did everything like him. I think it kind of stuck with me."
On his dream job:
"My dream job is being a pianist"
On what his finds attractive:
"The stuff I find attractive in women I always regret finding attractive. I always like a kind of madness in a woman... I like it when they hate me right from the beginning."
On acting:
"Before 'Twilight,' I did any movie that I got [offered], and you'd try and make the best of it afterward. But now you're expected to come into the movie and provide not only economic viability, but also a performance as well. You can't just mess around. People are like, 'We're employing you to be here, as a star and an actor.' It's difficult, and it's scary."
On playing Edward Cullen:
"It's been amazing to play the same character through so many adventures. And it's so strange because my life has changed so much over these years, but 'Twilight' and Edward Cullen will always be a part of me. It's been my whole life. My whole 20s. And I wouldn't have it any other way."
On his Future:
"I'd love to have a family -- sometime in the future."
On women:
"I can't say I prefer blondes, brunettes, or redheads. I like emotion and elegance. Even expensive clothes do not guarantee a good look. You must be yourself above all!"
On Taylor Lautner in "New Moon":
"I didn't see Taylor until just a little bit before we started shooting. When he came back, I had the same reaction as everybody else. I was like, 'Jeez, now I have to go to the gym!'"
On his dog:
"The only emotional connection of relevance is with my dog. My relationship with my dog, it's ridiculous."

Motionless in White New Album
Meh, never got into them.
Liked their first cd, although it was a bit generic. Hopefully they progress further with this release, they have potential.
I can obviously understand why people wouldn't like this band, but I think they're awesome. Pretty damn excited for a new album.
Digging: Chief Keef - Sorry 4 The Weight
Hopefully they up the technical skills
Why put the three new songs on the first album? obviously just a cash grab >.>
Open your mind before your mouth! m/
The video for Immaculate Misconception is pretty badass.
"The Pennsylvania based metalcore act Motionless in White have announced both that they are starting to work on their sophomore album." Didn't the staff just make a big deal about how they were going to start strictly moderating staff articles? This sentence doesn't even make sense.
I bet these guys suck
The video for Immaculate Misconception is pretty badass[4] hopefully they can tone down the cheese and up the technicality a lil bit.
Youre just a trend just a fuckin disease
Can't wait for this. Don't get why they're adding 3 bonus tracks to Creatures though.
Also Dragula isn't a previously unreleased track. This came out months before creatures did: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnquZY-eOok
fuck yeah! i've been hoping to hear this announcement sometime this year.
stoked, good band
I've met the lead singer, seriously nice guy.
Don't really like these guys, they always seemed like a BVB wanna-be.
Looking forward to the new one. 'Creatures' is an awesome record.
What's wrong with putting 'New' at the beginning of the headline?
Digging: Say Lou Lou - Lucid Dreaming
Actually really like these guys, bit generic but they have amazing video's and some cool lyrics. The video for Immaculate Misconception is pretty badass[5] Also the lead singer had a massive row with Jonny Craig, and totally burned him.
gonna b awsome
Never understood why this band was accepted by Sputnik.
its one of the few metalcore bands that i actually like, even tho they totally look like posers
I'd much rather be hearing that Northlane is working on a new album than this gay band.
this band goes against most of my musical beliefs but i thoroughly enjoy them
That Dragula cover rocks
Fuck yeah it does. So much better than most covers you hear from these kinds of bands.
Re-releases piss me off. Just make a new album.
^They are? Anyway, never knew these guys were from PA.
When I first saw this band they opened their set with the office theme.
I am so fucking sick of re releases just put out a new album
Never understood why this band was accepted by Sputnik [2]
"I'd much rather be hearing that Northlane is working on a new album than this gay band"[2]
could be a 3-3.5
they do come across as nice people but that doesn't make me like their music
JUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN, JUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN, DA DUH DA DUH, DA DUH DA DUH, JUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN, JUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN, DA DUH DA DUH, DA DUH DA DUH. Huh, never heard that before.
go listen to those two songs you like from asking alexandria.
"BVB are in it for the looks and the money, MIW have actual substance." They why do the band try so hard to look the way they look. http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lhjs6cRo7X1qdk3v9o1_500.jpg They look like they put about the same amount of effort black veil brides to try to look like that. And for what? To appeal the hot topic kids?
"BVB wanna-be" BVB should want to be MIW
MIW - band who wears make up for expression. BVB - band who wears make up for a gimmick.[2] kinda interested in the new album.
Best shit ever =D wonder whats the title going to be and when it'll drop
In an interview of Andy from Bvb, he has stated "... I think in terms of sound and image, obviously growing up we idolized bands like WASP, MÖTLEY CRÜE and KISS and we also had a deep love for bands like METALLICA and MEGADETH. For us it's blending the idea with theatrical rock like ALICE COOPER-style and more heavy metal sound that we were always interested in. It was never a conscious effort to wear makeup or dress up, that's what bands looked like and we thought it was cool. The sound and the image was always with us since day one and we always wanted to do it." In your opinion, would this be a valid reason for wearing a ton of make-up?, for a theatrical effect? Compare that to an interview with Chris from Miw "Chris Motionless: Probably since 8 or 9th grade, when I heard of AFI, then got into the Misfits I started wearing all black and makeup and everything, it became what I personally liked. Then, when I met these guys and as the band progressed we just kind of took it to extremes, more and more extreme. It's not doing anything that's completely unique, but we don't want to be basic or bland at what we do. Anyone can wear makeup, and it's just wearing makeup, but we strive to get it to be a little more like WOAH!" He seems to just wear it just cause. Does he have a valid reason?
BVB look like they wear makeup just to appeal to scene girls and look 'attractive'. MIW don't really seem to do that, it's almost as if they intentionally (for want of a better word) make themselves look more ugly and unappealing. That's all I can interpret
Chris has a huge mouth
Dug the shit out of Creatures for a while. I hope they give the synths a more horror-y vibe, though. As much as I dislike the huge amount of fangirly attention BVB gets and how overrated they are, I kinda feel like they have as valid of a reason to dress how they do as MIW, but, whatever. Doesn't really matter.
I'm curious as to how much diversity and creativity this record is going to have. They say they want to put out something new but Creatures for the most part was pretty basic. Their sound doesn't quite justify their over the top image.
Hopefully they don't do the metalcore regress, where they come out with a fairly good debut that's ahead of most of their peers, then run out of ideas and release a chuggy breakdown laden shitty second album.
"Their sound doesn't quite justify their over the top image." Exactly.
band sucks hard
the way they look doesn't bother me like other bands. dk why.

The Benefactress
Part 6: A Lady By Any Other Name
Despite Cosette's reassurances to the contrary, Eponinecould not quite banish Cerise's taunts from her mind. 'If she was in my position she wouldn't last a day!' she seethed silently as she was back at her desk at the Stendhals' office, making a simple translation of a news article. She bit her lip as she glanced at her left hand; her fingers could not lie flat on the tabletop, and her palm was covered by a faded but rough scar from the bullet that had nearly taken her life at the Rue de Chanvrerie. Although she had regained some use of her hand over the past two years, she still could not quite clench her fist without considerable pain. "I'd like to see how Cerise would manage with this," she muttered.
As she blotted a newly written line, she heard the office door creaking open. She smirked as she threw a glance over her shoulder at her errant colleague. "Wasn't the Germain d'Auxerrois lovely today, Stendhal?" she asked casually.
"It was crowded….." Emile Stendhal began before trailing off as a look of horror crossed his pallid face. The translator threw down his coat and pulled up a chair, taking care not to disturb Laure, who was sleeping next to the desk. "What were you doing there?" he asked in a hushed voice.
"Giving some finished work to Citizen Santerre, as your mother asked me to," Eponine replied.
Emile's face flushed deeply. "I forgot about that errand."
"She doesn't know you're running off to see Justine Lafontaine." The young woman sighed as Emile nodded embarrassedly. "For how long?"
"A month," Emile looked around, evidently afraid of being overheard. "I had to translate something for her brother. She was the one who picked up the manuscript when I brought it to his office."
Eponine nodded, remembering now that Justine's brother worked with the diplomatic corps' headquarters in Paris. "How have you been carrying on since then?"
"We meet on promenades. Exchanging letters would be careless."
"I s'pose though that neither of you are entirely happy with that alone."
"What else can I possibly do? She is from one of the most respectable families in Paris, and I am only a translator with no prospects."
"I can tell you of something that sounded even more impossible."
What a sweetheart. She has no idea how much this means to me. I can't wait to see her playing the role that means more than the world to me.
Some preteen Cosette & Ponine !
Really can't believe my face is currently all around London. I've yet to find one myself but it's going to be a weird moment when I do!
Her name was Eponine. Her life was cold and dark. Yet she was unafraid.

Southwest's Latest Move Is Shocking to Long-Time Customers by Ben Geier @FortuneMagazine February 25, 2015, 9:53 AM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons Southwest Airlines jets will continue flying over the next few days despite missing scheduled inspections. The low-cost carrier failed to perform required rudder checks on 128 of its planes, the Wall Street Journal reports. The Federal Aviation Administration, though, agreed to let the aircraft keep flying for five days while the inspections are completed between routes. Southwest told the FAA on Tuesday afternoon that it missed the inspections. It then took the jets out of service voluntarily, resulting in 80 cancelled flights. By early Wednesday morning, the FAA and Southwest had worked out a plan to allow the aircraft back in the skies while the inspections were done. Minimal disruption of Southwest's flight schedule is expected for Wednesday.
Where can Amazon legally fly its drones? by Ben Geier @FortuneMagazine February 18, 2015, 12:12 PM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons The Federal Aviation Administration's proposed drone rules clip the wings of Amazon's Prime Air delivery service in the United States, but the online retailer could be eyeing other countries for testing to keep momentum going. Amazon, in its sole statement regarding the FAA proposal, said it remains "prepared to deploy [Prime Air] where we have the regulatory support we need." Translation: We're willing to move our operations elsewhere. It's not the first time the company AMZN has hinted at the prospect. "Our continuing innovation through outdoor testing in the United States and, more generally, the competitiveness of the American small UAS [Unmanned Aircraft Systems] industry, can no longer afford to wait," said Paul Misener, Amazon vice president for global policy, in a note to the FAA written on Dec. 7, 2014. "Amazon is increasingly concerned that, unless substantial progress is quickly made in opening up the skies in the United States, the nation is at risk of losing its position as the center of innovation for the UAS technological revolution, along with the key jobs and economic benefits that come as a result. … Without approval of our testing in the United States, we will be forced to continue expanding our Prime Air R&D footprint abroad." Amazon already has a research and development facility in Cambridge, England, where it has been focusing on Prime Air. Less than five hours away, an independent facility in Wales specializes in outdoor drone testing, with permission from the United Kingdom's Civil Aviation Authority to test limited long-range trials. While drone deliveries are still illegal in the U.K., the country does seem more open to the idea. Should that not work out, though, there are several other countries whose drone policies are more relaxed policies than the U.S. Australia, for example, has warmly welcomed other companies wishing to test drone delivery. Google GOOG recently ran trials in Queensland, the third-most populous state in the country, for its Project Wing autonomous drone delivery service. And, in Germany, DHL launched an experimental drone delivery service called "parcelcopter" in December 2013, carrying small parcels to the small island of Juist (population 2,000). "Our DHL parcelcopter 2.0 is already one of the safest and most reliable flight systems in its class that meets the requirements needed to fulfill such a mission," said Jürgen Gerdes, CEO of Deutsche Post DHL's Post-eCommerce-Parcel Division, in a statement made at the time of the launch. Canada, meanwhile, has the same line-of-sight requirements the FAA proposed, but it doesn't require the operators to be certified as long as the UAS is under 55 lbs. And while Amazon isn't likely to greatly expand its footprint in China merely to focus on drones, the country has shown a willingness to embrace the technology. Earlier this month, Alibaba's Taobao division announced on its blog that it had launched a three-day trial, using drones to deliver a specific type of tea to 450 customers within an hour of its distribution centers in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. It's important to note that none of these countries has signed off on widespread drone deliveries. And the FAA has been clear that its recent proposals are not final. Still, it does seem that a face-off between the agency and Amazon has been brewing for some time. "I fear the FAA may be questioning the fundamental benefits of keeping UAS technology innovation in the United States," said Misener in his December note. "Simply put, Prime Air has great potential to enhance the services we already provide to millions of our customers by providing rapid parcel delivery that will also increase the overall safety and efficiency of the transportation system. … Without the ability to test outdoors in the Unites States soon, we will have no choice but to divert even more of our UAS research and development resources abroad."

With new rules, the FAA and drone industry make up by Ben Geier @FortuneMagazine February 18, 2015, 11:22 AM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons Sunday's release of a set of proposed rules governing the use unmanned aerial systems—better known as drones—in U.S. airspace didn't hold very many surprises. But according to industry sources, the lack of surprises was the most pleasantly surprising aspect of the Federal Aviation Administration's proposal. A first pass at the 195-page document shows an FAA that is far more in tune with industry needs than many imagined, providing a kind of "healing moment," as one source puts it, for an industry and a regulatory overseer whose relations have long been strained. Many drone industry insiders have variously regarded the FAA as dawdling, too risk-averse, and overly burdensome. The agency has struggled to produce a set of cohesive regulations regarding drone use—particularly commercial use—as drone technology has exploded over the past several years. But the proposal shows that the FAA has worked hard to avoid overly-onerous regulations. It's a promising sign for companies that want to integrate drones into their day-to-day operations and the drone makers eager to supply them with hardware, software, and support. "I think the FAA has had a tremendously difficult job to do, and I think what they came out with over the weekend was surprising," says Matthew Bieschke, president of the $2.2 billion UAS America Fund, an investment fund designed to facilitate financing of infrastructure related to unmanned aerial systems. "It was less conservative than a lot of people in the industry thought it would be." That surprise—or relief—is a common sentiment around the nascent industry. "I would say that what we're seeing is refreshing," says Jesse Kallman, head of business development and regulatory affairs at Airware, a San Francisco-based startup that develops operating systems and other technologies for drones. "We were expecting that even within this already walled-off environment we were going to see a significant amount of additional rules." The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking contains plenty of rules. But most are no more restrictive than the industry was expecting. (In many cases the rules are somewhat more relaxed than many drone advocates feared.) Broadly, the proposed rule stipulates that drones used for commercial operations should weigh less than 55 pounds, fly only during daylight hours in good weather, fly no faster than 100 miles per hour, stay away from airports, and remain within visible line of sight of the operator. While the proposal doesn't distinguish between very small drones and larger models or provide for beyond-line-of-sight operations, it also doesn't burden users with onerous airworthiness or pilot training requirements. But there are aspects of the notice that the FAA got wrong, says Brendan Schulman, head of the unmanned aircraft systems practice at New York City-based law firm Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel. For instance, the document seems to place drone-related academic research under the umbrella of commercial operations, making drone-enabled research more difficult. The rules prohibit flying at night or at altitudes above 500 feet, which doesn't make sense in rural areas where the airspace (and ground space below) is largely clear. And for the time being the proposed rules sweep aside drone delivery concepts like the one hatched by Amazon. "The proposal considers drone delivery to be air carriage subject to heightened regulatory standards outside the UAS proposal," Schulman told Fortune in an email. "That's a legal distinction that made sense in the manned aircraft era but I am not sure why they are holding on to it. It strikes me as a real blow to Amazon and other companies that have been working on drone delivery projects." Critically, the proposal will not require small drones to comply with the FAA's airworthiness or aircraft certification regulations—that is, users won't have to certify their 10-pound drones by the same process that one certifies a Cessna—and will not require the same training or medical rating required of manned aircraft pilots. Rather, the FAA will create a separate knowledge-based certification process for drone operators that will require regular recertification. These two aspects of the proposal could be the most impactful for companies, as getting their drones into the air won't be nearly as costly or time-consuming. "People feared that the new process would look like the Section 333 exemption process up to and including the private pilot's license requirement," says Lisa Ellman, counsel and co-chair of the UAS Practice Group at the D.C. office of McKenna Long & Aldridge, referring to the FAA's current means of approving commercial drone applications on a case-by-case basis. "That's a really involved process and it's not easy, it's a several-month process. So this is a huge, wonderful thing, this new UAS operator's certificate. It will be relatively easy to get and will make drones broadly accessible." While the specifics of FAA's proposal are encouraging to commercial drone advocates, it's the broad strokes of the document that are perhaps most promising to companies looking to take advantage of drone technology, Ellman says—echoing Bieschke, Kallman, and many others within the industry that have issued press releases, blogged, and publicly opined about the document since it's release Sunday morning. The document shows an FAA that recognizes that drone technology is outpacing policy and was careful to build flexibility into its proposed rules and processes. Critics say the proposed rules lack a provision providing for beyond-line-of-sight operations (critical for applications like power line or pipeline inspection) and a distinction between hulking 50-pound drone aircraft and small, four-pound quadrotors. But the document leaves the door open to such things in the future. Though the FAA has been careful to stick to its core mission of regulating the national airspace and leave privacy issues to other more appropriate agencies, the White House on Sunday released a memorandum on privacy and transparency that will not only guide government agencies in their use of drones but also create a process for developing and enforcing new privacy norms through the Department of Commerce—a signal that other government agencies are prepared to move forward with drone integration alongside the FAA. The FAA still remains far from a final set of commercial drone rules. It will accept comments on the proposed rules for the next 60 days and it's expected to take another year to weigh all those comments and process them into a final set of regulations, likely sometime in 2016. But now that companies have a whole lot more clarity on what the FAA and other agencies are thinking they can begin investing in their own concepts of commercial drone operations. For a industry that's been in a holding pattern for the last several years, it's difficult to be anything but upbeat, Ellman says. "I think this is going to open up lots of investment in the industry, lots more movement in the industry," Ellman says. "Sunday provided a very important moment for all of us because it really gives the industry a sense of certainty, a roadmap for where we're going, and it's all very good news."
FAA plans ground Amazon's drone program by Ben Geier @FortuneMagazine February 16, 2015, 1:26 PM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons Amazon's AMZN proposed delivery service hit some significant turbulence Sunday with proposed new rules for drone operation from the Federal Aviation Administration and Department of Transportation. If passed as initially outlined, the guidelines could prevent the company from launching the service in the U.S. Under the draft of the regulations, drone operators must remain within a visual line of site from their drones and are not allowed to fly drones over people who aren't in control of the aircraft. The rules are bad news for Prime Air, which Amazon had previously showcased using autonomous drones that were not manually operated by staffers. Amazon, though, said it is still committed to delivering packages to customers via drones, and called on the government agency to rethink its proposal and how it might impact corporations. "The FAA needs to begin and expeditiously complete the formal process to address the needs of our business, and ultimately our customers," said Paul Misener, Amazon's vice president for global policy, in a statement. "We are committed to realizing our vision for Prime Air and are prepared to deploy where we have the regulatory support we need." The rules also limit the weight of an unmanned aircraft to under 55 lbs. Amazon had previously said the initial weight capacity of its drones would be limited to 5 lbs. The FAA released the proposal for rules regarding drones on Sunday. The agency stressed that the proposals are not final, and that it is seeking input from all interested parties. "We have tried to be flexible in writing these rules," said FAA Administrator Michael Huerta in a statement. "We want to maintain today's outstanding level of aviation safety without placing an undue regulatory burden on an emerging industry." The FAA is accepting public comments on the proposed regulation for the next 60 days. Among the areas it specifically mentioned as being up for discussion: whether the rules should permit operations beyond line of sight, and if so, how far operators would be able to fly drones. Amazon had previously hoped to launch Prime Air in 2015, although that date was always dependent on regulatory approval, and even Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos called it "optimistic." Now the language on the service's page is much more ambiguous, saying "Putting Prime Air into service will take some time, but we will deploy when we have the regulatory support needed to realize our vision." Amazon initially unveiled Prime Air and its drone delivery ambitions in 2013 as part of a broader effort to further speed up deliveries. In announcing the program, Bezos said the drones could deliver packages within a 10 mile radius of the company's fulfillment centers within 30 minutes. Amazon is not the only company looking to drones as possible delivery systems. Google GOOG , Domino's Pizza and Alibaba BABA have also been conducting trials.
Super Bowl is a 'no drone zone' by Ben Geier @FortuneMagazine January 28, 2015, 4:19 PM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons Tickets for this weekend's Super Bowl may be hard to come by, but the federal government says that's no excuse for using a drone to get a bird's-eye view of the big game. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a warning Wednesday to remind fans of both football and unmanned aircraft that the Super Bowl is "strictly a 'no drone zone.'" It is illegal to fly unauthorized aircraft, such as a drone, over or near any NFL games, not just Sunday's championship game, according to the FAA. The same restriction also applies Major League Baseball games, several Nascar events and any college sporting event taking place in a stadium that seats at least 30,000 fans. Anyone caught breaking this rule could be detained by law enforcement and wind up facing jail time as well as a possible civil penalty for "careless and reckless" operation of an aircraft. Says the FAA: "Bottom line: If you want to see video of the Big Game, watch it on TV. Leave your drone at home." The government's stern warning for drone enthusiasts near Glendale, Ariz. (where the Super Bowl will be played at University of Phoenix Stadium) comes just a couple of days after an off-duty intelligence agency official crashed a recreational drone — while drunk, apparently — on the White House lawn. The crash prompted President Obama to call for stricter regulation of domestic drone use while The Wall Street Journal reported that drone-maker DJII will start disabling its drones' ability to fly over the Washington, D.C. area.
U.S. approves more commercial drone use as Congress probes risks by Ben Geier @FortuneMagazine December 10, 2014, 4:33 PM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons (REUTERS) – The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration on Wednesday granted four more companies exemptions to use drones commercially, further opening the airspace to unmanned aircraft even as lawmakers raised questions about the risks. Trimble Navigation Ltd, VDOS Global LLC, Clayco Inc and Woolpert Inc said in their petitions to the FAA that they would operate drones weighing less than 55 pounds (25 kg) and keep them within view at all times. The approvals broaden the uses of commercial drones to include aerial surveying, construction site monitoring and oil rig flare stack inspections. Previous FAA exemptions were for aerial photography by seven television and film companies. The FAA is expected to release a draft rule on drones by the end of December. The latest approvals came as the FAA and other industry officials were questioned by Congress on Wednesday about the safety and benefits of drone use. The FAA has been under mounting pressure from companies seeking to employ drones to survey crops, inspect remote power lines and pipelines or deliver packages, or other uses. The U.S. drone industry is expected to generate $13.6 billion in economic activity and create 70,000 jobs in the three years after commercial use restrictions are lifted, according to the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International. The FAA bans most commercial drone flights, but is required by Congress to integrate drones into the U.S. airspace by September 2015. Capt. Lee Moak, president of the Air Line Pilots Association, brought a small quad-copter to a House aviation subcommittee hearing on Wednesday that he noted was capable of flying at 6,600 feet for 15 minutes. "That means it could easily end up in the same airspace I occupy when I am on approach to land at Newark,Seattle, or any other airport," he said, noting increased reports of drone sightings by pilots. He urged the FAA not to allow pressure to rapidly integrate drones into the national airspace and compromise safety. But others pressed for much more rapid FAA action. Rep. Roger Williams, a Texas Republican, said Amazon.com has had difficulty getting FAA permission for outdoor tests of package delivery in Washington state. Amazon told the FAA this week it has begun testing outside the United States because of the restrictions. The FAA's associate safety administrator, Peggy Gilligan, said the agency knows Amazon is unsatisfied and expects to "reach some conclusions shortly" on its application for an exemption.
Over lunch, reshaping the future of America's drone industry by Ben Geier @FortuneMagazine December 6, 2014, 2:08 PM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons At Robofest, first things first. First there's the wine, provided courtesy of one of the Washington, D.C. area's most influential aerospace consultancies. Once you've filled your plastic cup—this affair is more backyard barbecue than society event—there's the meet and greet, an opportunity to check out the credentials of those around you: an aerospace industry executive, the economic development chief for a western U.S. state, a dean of engineering for a prestigious American university, several D.C. think tankers, lobbyists, lawyers. But the very first person you meet is Darryl Jenkins, chairman of the American Aviation Institute, consultant to airlines and aviation companies and host and creator of today's event. Jenkins is a well-known personality in the aerospace and aviation realms. He's been in the room for more or less every major airline merger and bankruptcy restructuring over the past few decades. He's spent his career lecturing to and on the aerospace industry, having taught for several semesters at George Washington University while publishing countless papers and research reports as well as one book on the industry. He's the guy that goes on Bloomberg TV and CNBC to explain these things to the world. Jenkins knows a whole lot of influential people in the aviation and aerospace worlds. A lot of those people are here at Robofest today. They, like Jenkins, share a keen interest in the next generation of aerospace technology—the various unmanned aerial systems commonly and collectively known as drones. It's a pitch-perfect afternoon in late October when Robofest takes place. The setting is Jenkins' secluded home in the Shenandoah foothills. This year's event is the second in two years, already known as an off-the-record social date that is evolving into an industry movement that Jenkins hopes will pave the way forward for the burgeoning commercial drone industry. (Fortune obtained special permission to write about the event.) On the agenda: An open discussion on how to best move the industry forward, and—of course—a bit of drone flying. But first, there's wine and then lunch. No one wants to reshape an entire industry on an empty stomach. Last year's Robofest was mostly a recreational and social affair, Jenkins says. This year—with some of the more influential minds within the industry, state and federal government, and academia all gathered on his back patio—Jenkins wants to do more than just talk about what can be done. The drone industry largely sees itself as hamstrung by an overreaching and underfunded Federal Aviation Administration. The industry believes it is increasingly outgunned by foreign competitors operating in more permissive regulatory environments. Jenkins and his assembled cast of industry veterans, lawyers, entrepreneurs, lobbyists, and government insiders want to change that. "When I think about all the airline mergers and bankruptcies I've been through with this industry, I feel like an old man," Jenkins says, calling his 80 or so guests to order. "When I think about UAS technology, I'm 16 again." As his guests finish tucking into plates of fried chicken and pasta salad, Jenkins reminds his guests that the point of this gathering is not to sit around throwing rocks at the FAA, an activity that has become an organized sport for advocates of a commercialized drone industry. Today is about hammering out some concrete steps that the industry can take in the near term. It's about keeping the industry marching forward despite bureaucratic inertia. Jenkins turns the floor over to his keynote speaker, the former CEO of a major Fortune 500 aerospace and defense company and vocal supporter of the drone industry. His comments set off a spirited discussion about what the industry needs, how it can nudge the FAA in the right direction, and—most importantly—what the industry can do on its own without help from the FAA. (The theme of this year's Robofest: "Doing it Ourselves.") No single voice or interest dominates the discussion. Among those that speak up are academics, former FAA officials, aerospace industry executives, drone entrepreneurs looking to build new companies around UAS technologies and services, local law enforcement, and U.S. intelligence employees. One is a lawyer who specializes in the nascent new practice of drone law. Another represents the newly formed D.C. drone lobby backed by Google GOOG and Amazon AMZN . There are even realtors interested in using drones for aerial photography, which is currently prohibited by the FAA, and a sailing coach interested in applying drones to maritime sport. Above all, there is money present. Representatives of a $2.2 billion investment fund aimed specifically at drone infrastructure—such as air traffic control technologies to allow drones to safely operate alongside conventional aircraft in U.S. airspace—weigh in during the discussion. For more than an hour the discussion ping-pongs around Jenkins' crowded, sun-dappled patio. There is disagreement but also plenty of consensus. The large drone industry is well represented on Capitol Hill through the defense and aerospace industries, but the small UAS industry—representing aircraft that weigh less than 55 lbs.—needs to better organize and represent itself, the group agrees. Small UAS need size-specific regulations so that a five-pound drone flying at 300 feet is treated differently than a large drone. And most of all, the industry needs to work with the FAA, rather than rail against it—otherwise, little progress will occur. Jenkins closes the discussion by informing his guests that this will be the last Robofest held at his home. Though it's only the second such event, it's already straining the capacity of his generous patio space. Jenkins says he's working with universities in the D.C. area to formalize and host the next event sometime in early 2016. The plan: bring today's agenda to a much larger audience. It would be a mistake to wait any longer, he says. "We're at an inflection point," says one self-described serial entrepreneur who launched and sold four technology companies. He's traveled to Robofest from Michigan to hear what others in the industry have to say and for the chance to swap business cards and make a few new contacts in the industry. Naturally, his latest startup is a drone company, one that would provide drone products and services as well as training and certification for pilots—as soon as standards for such certification are codified by the FAA, that is. "There's still a lot of uncertainty," he says. "But the time for this industry is now." The sun is getting low now and the breeze has died down—it's finally time to fly. From car trunks and duffel bags and hard plastic carrying cases, out come the drones—from small quad-rotors to massive eight-armed octo-copters in varying shapes and sizes. The entire gathering looks on as one machine after another rises into the sky. In minutes, everyone is 16 again.
U.S. drone rules expected to buck industry hopes by Ben Geier @FortuneMagazine November 24, 2014, 7:28 AM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons This post is in partnership with Time. The article below was originally published at Time.com. By Dan Kedmey, TIME The Federal Aviation Administration is set to restrict use of drones to within 400 feet of the ground and forbid flights beyond the eyesight of the operator, according to a new report, rules far less permissive than what companies like Amazon had hoped for. The Wall Street Journal, citing unnamed sources familiar with the highly anticipated ruling, reports that drone operators will be expected to obtain a pilot license, which traditionally require hours of flight training. The rules will allow drones to be used in filmmaking, construction and farming, among other industries. Read more at the Wall Street Journal
Action! Filmmakers to be allowed to use drones in the U.S. by Ben Geier @FortuneMagazine September 25, 2014, 9:13 AM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons Our favorite Hollywood directors will soon have a new tool at their disposal for getting those sweeping overhead shots we love so much. According to reports, today the Federal Aviation Administration is planning on announcing approval for film production companies to use drones on closed sets, in response to seven recent requests for such permission. The Washington Post notes that these drones could replace helicopters and planes — which are much more expensive than drones — on film sets. Both newsmedia groups and the Motion Picture Association of America have submitted letters in support of allowing filmmakers to use drones. The drones would not be flown over populated areas, only on closed sets. The Post notes that the applications specify that the drones would weigh less than 55 pounds, fly no faster than 57 mph and go no higher than 400 feet. German logistics company DHL said Wednesday it is testing drones to deliver goods — the first time a drone has been authorized to transport goods in Europe.
Is the FAA limiting drone innovation? by Ben Geier @FortuneMagazine August 28, 2014, 7:19 AM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons The aircraft regulatory agency's delays on making rules for commercial drones is forcing businesses to wait. And wait. NOTE: See update at bottom of this story. In the winter of 2013, Scott Pham had finished teaching his fall semester on drone journalism—a new journalistic method of reporting and photographing stories by using unmanned aircraft—at the University of Missouri. While gearing up for the spring, the federal government sent a letter that disrupted his plans. "The letter was quite vague," Pham recalled. "It said something like—your actions 'may be' in violation of our regulations." The letter came from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)—the U.S. regulatory agency that ensures safe passage of manned and unmanned aircrafts. In drones, Pham found the perfect reporting tool. One of his students flew a drone along the Missouri River and collected visual evidence on how oil and gas companies used the water for drilling operations without paying any money to the government. "We chose environment and agricultural stories because we thought, for safety and regulatory reasons, we wanted to avoid stories that would require us to fly over cities and populated areas," Pham said. That didn't seem to make a difference to the FAA. Pham called up the local FAA regulator in Missouri and explained to him the value that drones could add to journalism. The regulator was unmoved. "He told me in no uncertain terms 'we want you to stop flying," Pham said. "Do not fly." The university initially vowed to support him, says Pham. "There was a moment where they were very combative. They were like—'we are going to bring this to the Supreme Court.'" Pham was in the process of applying for the future grants to run the program further. A few weeks later, the university turned a cold shoulder on him. They asked him to follow the FAA guidelines, which meant not flying outside for content gathering. Pham felt that would kill the basic essence of drone journalism and decided to leave the program. Later, also following a directive from the FAA, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln also ended its drone-reporting classes. In a statement to Fortune, an FAA spokesperson explained that since universities are public entities, they are required to apply for a Certificate of Authorization (COA) before launching a drone journalism program. Pham says he didn't pursue a COA because the process took months, and that the students weren't flying drones for commercial reasons, but for research. A year later, Bill Allen, an assistant professor at Missouri's School of Journalism and co-founder of the drone reporting program, took charge. Allen revised it and opened it up to students of others fields of study, including geology, geography and conservation biology. "There really is no official Missouri drone journalism program right now," Allen said. "We are staying inside, continuing to find ways to teach our students without flying drones outside." In the past four years, the FAA has fired off letters to individuals and organizations operating what it calls "suspected commercial Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) operations." First the FAA issues a verbal warning; then it sends a letter. Users who continue to fly receive "cease and desist" letter. The FAA is choosing to go after anyone using drones to make a profit, though that remains somewhat difficult to prove. Hobbyists are permitted to fly drones for pleasure. Then there are certain air-traffic rules: as an on-ground pilot, you cannot fly above 500 feet, or lose sight of your flight. These guidelines are hard to follow. In 2012, Congress asked the FAA to bring the drones under the legal canopy of national airspace by 2015. In the meantime, pilots who want to fly commercial drones are required to seek approval from the FAA. Since then, regulators have been deluged with petitions. Hollywood filmmakers, farmers, real estate agencies, power line and oil rig inspection companies have sought permission to operate drones. After Amazon announced its plan in late 2013 to use drones for package delivery on CBS's 60 Minutes, the company sought clearance from the FAA to test its bots outdoors. The request is still pending but it gave drone lobbyists enough leverage to criticize the FAA for limiting innovation with "slow law-making." "Manufacturers are starting to get anxious about migrating a lot of this technology into the commercial sector," says Ben Gielow, a lobbyist at Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI)—a Washington D.C. based drone advocacy group. "The commercial market is expected to outstrip the military demand within the next decade." Lockheed Martin, one of Gielow's clients, has already bought two drone startups and it is eyeing other companies that monitor weather and natural disasters, aerial imaging and satellite communications. According to AUVSI, the FAA clearance to commercial drones could contribute $82 billion to the economy and the creation of 100,000 jobs in the U.S. by 2025. And any further delay, Gielow told me, would result in the loss of $27 million per day. So what's the hold up? A spokesperson for the regulator told Fortune that the agency has made "significant progress toward that goal, even as it dealt with disruptions due to sequestration and a three-week government shutdown." Then there are technical issues to work through: the spokesperson said, the agency is developing a mechanism through which manned and unmanned aircrafts can communicate to avoid collisions. "This is an exciting new technology," the FAA said in statement. "People want to see what it can do—and what they can do with it. Detect and Avoid and Command and Control are two key integration-related research areas that must be addressed before routine beyond-line-of sight operations will be authorized to fly." But the Department of Transportation doesn't buy the FAA timetable. In an audit report published on June 26th, the Department of Transportation doubts that the FAA will meet the September 2015 deadline. The auditor suggests that the FAA wasn't "effectively collecting and analyzing" the drone safety data in order to pinpoint risks. That flaw existed because the agency has neither developed a process that ensures all drone safety incidents are "reported and tracked" nor does it share that data with the U.S. Department of Defense, which, according to the auditor, is the largest user of drones. With the regulatory uncertainty, many operators are brushing aside the commercial prohibition and flying for money. Every other day, newspapers report on commercial uses from weddings being filmed with drones to gas pipeline inspection to smuggling of marijuana in a South California prison. Until recently, the agency viewed the option of slapping a hefty fine on violators as a potent weapon but that too has been neutralized in the court. As a result, the FAA is caught between public criticism and legal ordeals. Brendan Schulman, who tweets as @dronelaws, is America's best-known drone lawyer. The 40-year-old native of New Jersey has been flying model aircrafts since he was in his teens. Schulman entered the conference room of his Midtown Manhattan office with a plastic drone tucked under his arm. Schulman defended the most important case in the drone history. In 2010, the FAA slapped a $10,000 fine on Raphael Pirker, an Austrian drone photographer, who flew a remote-controlled aircraft to record a promotional film for the University of Virginia. As Pirker put up the raw footage on You Tube, the FAA sent a letter, accusing him of reckless flying, premised on the notion that his aircraft was used commercially and therefore subject to the airspace regulations. When Schulman read about it in newspapers he contacted Pirker, whom he knew through hobby circles, and offered his legal help. "He was flying a five-pound aircraft with a camera in the front," Schulman said. "He didn't hurt anybody or damage any property. So we took on the case and defended it primarily on the basis that there is no actual regulation concerning model aircrafts people now call drones." The judge agreed with Schulman and in March 2014 quashed the fine. Since Schulman won the precedent setting case, the FAA appealed to the National Transportation Safety Board. But the federal court's decision managed to ease the atmosphere, opening the doors for real estate firms, architects, wedding planners, ad agencies and others to use this technology for business. Schulman is critical of the FAA's argument—that its prime consideration is safety. For him, the guidelines for hobby drones can be applied to commercial machines too. The reason: "When lightweight systems (drones) are flown close to the ground, little regulation is needed to ensure safety." Terry and Belinda Kilby, a couple from Baltimore, use drones for their photo business. Four years ago, Terry bought "a kind of a gum stick camera" and stuck it to the bottom of a remote-controlled model aircraft. "It started off as a joke," Terry said. "We flew it and took a few photos, and they were terrible, but my wife saw the potential." Belinda, a former art teacher, instantly saw the traits that existed in past artistic movement. "Such as the impressionist movement or Japanese prints—they often had a birds eye view of their subjects," Terry said. "She saw the same sweet space—of being above a crane and below the plane." They started a two-person operation, in which Terry designed, built and flew the drones, and Belinda controlled the camera. They soon produced Drone Art Baltimore, " which is the first photography book ever to be shot entirely by a drone." By 2012, this artistic adventure turned into an entrepreneurial success with several land developers, real estate dealers and architects contacting the couple to shoot for them. Jeffery Penza, the owner of Penza + Bailey architectural firm in Baltimore, wanted to create a floor plan for the renovation of an 80-year-old penthouse and needed to photo-document it. "There were no drawings of the building whatsoever," Penza explained. Penza hired the Kilbys to bring their drone and asked them to capture the roofline of the penthouse. "We were able to identify a window that had been covered up with the plaster. We didn't know it was there until we saw the photographs," said the architect. Like several other drone photographers across the U.S., Terry has decided to fly for commercial reasons. It usually starts as a hobby and serendipitously turns into a business. Since obtaining permission from the FAA is an arduous task, the operators sidestep the agency. "There is kind of a legal gray area because the FAA is yet to pass any rules either for or against us," Terry said. "So we police ourselves—we do everything possible to make sure all of our flights are safe." The rising demand for drones has convinced the industry to manufacture the aircrafts of different shapes and sizes with an ability to take wide range of tasks—from Amazon-type deliveries to transporting heavy-duty goods both nationally and internationally. To achieve that vision, instead of taking "crawl-walk-run approach", the drone enthusiasts want to move fast. "The FAA can clearly do more," said Gielow, the drone lobbyist. "We have been saying that on the Hill. We would like to see FAA taking a risk-based approach. I mean we need at least a limited access now and then we can build upon that and allow more widespread integration in future." Many drone advocates fear that the ongoing delay will make the U.S a laggard, behind countries like Canada, which issues flying permits in couple of weeks. In 2013, Canada's airspace regulator issued 945 drone permits—a significant increase compared to 345 issued in 2012. Here in the U.S. the FAA has issued 700-750 authorizations since 2006. Brendan Gibbons, one of Pham's students at the University of Missouri, covers the environment beat for Scranton's The Times-Tribune. At the university, he filmed the fracking wells along the Missouri River. "I was pleased how I could edit together the pump jacks which are those up-and-down bobbing, hungry dinosaur looking things, and then shots of the rig, and of the river behind it—you can really see how close these operations were to the river," he recalled. As a journalist, however, Gibbons feels restrained in his reporting by the FAA. Last month, while covering a massive factory fire near Scranton, he wanted to fly a drone and capture the fire. Despite what he learned in the drone journalism classes, he was forced to rely on other means to do his reporting. "What is unfortunate about the FAA regulations is that we had to get that photo from a reader," Gibbon said. "Somebody who lived around that site had a hobby drone flown over the fire. We traced that person online and got the photo from him." UPDATE, August 28, 2014: An earlier version of this story stated that the university asked Pham to remove drones from the classroom and that the class was ultimately shuttered, which is inaccurate. Fortune regrets the error.

Influence of the birefringence autocorrelation function on the polarization mode dispersion of constantly spun fibers
Optics Letters, Vol. 32, Issue 22, pp. 3236-3238 (2007)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (167 KB)
We show that the polarization mode dispersion of a constantly spun, single-mode fiber is strongly influenced by the autocorrelation function of its birefringence. In particular, under probable conditions, the mean square differential group delay of the spun fiber may even be higher than the delay that the same fiber would have if it were not spun.

Ridley Noah FAST Road Bike Frameset - 2014 $5,495.00
Reviews & Community
What do you think of the
Ridley Noah FAST Road Bike Frameset - 2014
? Share a...
Kyle Br
FAST is a fitting title
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
If your serious about racing/performance it's worth the extra money over the Noah. It just gives that little bit extra into an already superb frame with a slightly higher carbon grade and more profiled brake set up.
I have owned/raced on several ridley bikes including the helium and Noah. The Noah is surprisingly light for what would be considered the heavier frame in Ridley's lineup. I wouldn't hesitate to ride it as an all around race bike but it shines most on the flats into the wind on a solo break. Excellent aerodynamics and super stiff bottom bracket make it handle superb in any situation and no loss of power in your pedal stroke, you get everything out of it you put into it. An excellent choice if you have one bike for training/racing, and doing tri's or TT's as the aero properties give you full advantage of all that has to offer but geometry can be ridden everyday. clip on some aero extensions and your good to fly.
Sizing can be tricky on Ridley bikes as they do tend to run a little bigger than most so free to contact me here at email@example.com with questions on the Noah, frame in general or with sizing questions.
Bib Barrett
How are brakes adjusted when switching wheels of differing rim widths? EG - is there a "quick release" or some type of adjustment lever?
