Tip of the Day
Disabling iOS' built-in YouTube app
Apple has generally done a great job of keeping its built-in iOS apps up to date—with the YouTube app a glaring exception to this rule. Barely updated since its debut on the original iPhone in 2007, it has long since been surpassed by the video sharing giant's own mobile website—yet iOS is still set to open all YouTube videos in the native app. Luckily, there's an easy way to get around this limitation. Simply fire up Settings, tap on General, tap on Restrictions, enable Restrictions if you haven't already, and disallow YouTube. Doing so has the dual benefit of redirecting all YouTube links to the mobile website and hiding the native app on the device, clearing up more space for apps you actually want to use.

Modern warfare has seen its share of technological improvements which have led to weapons that can be targeted with ever increasing levels of speed and accuracy, enabling weapon operators to react more quickly when a situation suddenly changes. While tanks, jets, missiles, combat planning systems, and other technological implements have kept pace with modern electronics, some familiar tools of modern warfare have remained virtually unchanged for centuries. Perhaps foremost among these essential components is the infantryman: the soldier carrying light arms deployed on foot.
Infantrymen have benefited to some extent from modern technology with the advent of laser sights, night vision goggles, and so forth. These have allowed the foot soldier to navigate at night, and accurately dispatch their targets. These technologies ultimately help to keep the soldier safe under the cover of darkness, help give the element of surprise when needed, and also help ensure that the first shot fired is the one that hits the mark.
In spite of these advances, one problem which persists is the cumbersome process of acquiring and striking a target. At night, modern night vision goggles passively amplify miniscule amounts of ambient light, such as starlight, and enable a soldier to see obscured targets in the dark. Once a target is found in this fashion, however, a soldier must flip the goggles out of the way and reacquire the target with the sight on his weapon. This takes time away from the soldier, during which he might be seen by the target itself, or the target might move. In addition, reacquisition with the weapon's narrower field of vision may be virtually impossible with a distant or moving target.
Alternatively, a soldier, upon viewing a target with night vision goggles, may engage a laser illuminator on his weapon. The illuminator projects a beam of laser light following the line of sight of the weapon and striking where the bullet will strike. The soldier can keep his goggles on and see the illuminated point. He can move the point of the illuminator until it points to his target, and then fire as needed. While somewhat faster than lifting the goggles and reacquiring the target through the weapon sight, the illuminator may have the unintended effect of giving away the soldier's position. The laser illuminator may be just as obvious to an enemy as it is to the soldier. In the time it takes to maneuver his weapon into position, he may already be spotted and in the weapon sight of his enemy.
In the hopes of solving this and other problems inherent with current infantry technology, U.S. military planners have envisioned a technological revolution for the foot soldiers of tomorrow, dubbed Future Force Warrior. The project envisions, among other improvements, the porting of an infantryman's weapon sight into a heads up display (HUD) built into his night vision goggles. Such goggles exist now, as in Sensor Technology Systems' Model 2733 Low Profile Night Vision Goggle. They have the ability to port a video feed into a beam combiner, overlaying a video image from a video source mounted in the weapon sight onto the center of the visual field of the goggles.
An example of such a combined image appears as prior art
Thus, it would be an advancement in the art if a video image from a video source could be integrated into the visual field of a heads up display without confusing or disorienting the observer, and without needlessly obscuring relevant visual content.
A first embodiment of the invention provides a method for aligning video images with an underlying visual field by determining a source orientation of a video source, determining a display orientation of a transparent display overlaying the visual field, and displaying video images in the transparent display, wherein a position for the images is based on the source orientation and the display orientation.
A second embodiment of the invention provides a system for displaying a portion of a video feed overlaying a visual field comprising a video camera, a heads up display (HUD), and a computer. Orientation sensors are affixed to the video camera and the HUD. The computer is adapted to receive sensor data from both orientation sensors, to receive the video feed from the video camera, and to display video images in the HUD.
The visual field 200 and the video image 300 differ in their field of view (FOV). The visual field of the night vision goggles allows for a greater amount of visual information to be viewed by the observer simultaneously without the observer having to move his head. The FOV of the video image 300, as from a weapon sight, is normally much narrower, presenting less of the visual field to the observer. As a result, a soldier looking directly through a weapon sight, or looking at the video feed produced by such a sight, will have to move the weapon in order to view the entire scene. For this reason, soldiers may search for and acquire targets at night using the wider FOV of night vision goggles, and switch to the weapon sight view only once they have decided upon a target. This takes time, thus slowing down the soldier.
The visual field 400 of
It should be noted upfront that this superimposition of video images is not limited to weapon usage on a battlefield, although that is the dominant example used here. Other embodiments of the current invention could be used in a myriad of settings, including law enforcement, medicine, etc. For example, a surgeon could use such a device on his hand to provide a magnified view of an operating field embedded within a view of the entire patient's chest cavity. An astronomer could survey a star field visually while wearing some form of heads up display. Her telescope could be fitted with a video camera, the feed from which is dynamically fed into and positioned within the HUD. As such, she can view a magnified video image from the telescope without having to reposition herself before the telescope's eyepiece. Alternatively, her video source could produce a modified output, perhaps displaying a color-shifted spectrographic view of the light from a particular star. Similarly, a nephologist can survey a sky full of clouds and simultaneously focus in on clouds of particular interest without shifting. An ichthyologist, fitted with an underwater embodiment of the invention, could survey a school of fish and simultaneously focus in on a particular fish. In each of these alternative embodiments, a secondary video source is used to dynamically supplement an observer's field of view.
In this embodiment, field computer 501 receives a video feed from video weapon sight 503 via cable 512. The video feed may be delivered using any standard video format, for example analog formats like NTSC or PAL, or digital formats like MPEG, or any non-standard format. The field computer 501 receives sensor data from orientation sensors 504 and 506, via cables 510 and 511. Once the video feed is processed, field computer 501 delivers video for the heads up display within the goggles 505, via cable 513.
The sensor 504 affixed to rifle 502 sends data relaying the orientation of the weapon and attached video gun sight 503. This data may include angular pitch, yaw, and roll information, sent in frequent intervals. An example of such a sensor is InterSense's IntertiaCube3�, which uses the earth's gravitational and magnetic fields (among other means) to sense and report angular orientation around three axes of rotation up to 180 times per second. The sensor 506 affixed to goggles 505 relays similar orientation data, except that it reports on the line of sight of the goggles instead of the rifle 502. It should be noted that sensors 504 need not be directly affixed to the rifle 502, so long as it moves with the rifle. For example, it could be attached to the gun sight 503. Likewise, sensor 506 need not be directly affixed to the goggles 505. The sensor 506 could also be attached to the helmet of the infantryman 500.
In this embodiment, sensors 504, 506 use Universal Serial Bus (USB) cables 510, 511 to relay angular data, although any communication method is feasible. These cables, along with video cables 512, 513 may either be exposed or sewn into a soldier's clothing or his rifle sling to prevent entanglement of the wearer. Although wired sensors and video cables are used here, any form of wireless radio is feasible. For example, Ultra-wideband (UWB) transceivers may transmit video and sensor data from the weapon, and sensor data from the goggles. Likewise, UWB may be used to transmit video from the field computer 501 to the goggles 505. Although UWB radios, such as Time Domain's PulsON� radio, are particularly desirable for their high bandwidth, low power consumption and for being virtually undetectable, any wireless standard may be used, including both Bluetooth and IEEE 802.11.
In alternative embodiments, UWB radios may be used for more than transmission of video and sensor data. Multiple radios may be placed on the rifle 502 and on the goggles 505 (or on the helmet, to which the goggles may be affixed), each of which can relay their precise position. In this fashion, the field computer 501 may be able to calculate the alignment of the rifle and goggles based on the relative location of radios rather than use separate orientation sensors.
In other alternative embodiments, the heads up display need not be connected to the viewer, as through a pair of night vision goggles. For example, the heads up display could appear before a windshield in a vehicle. A weapon mounted on the vehicle includes a video gun sight producing images processed and projected onto the heads up display. In this embodiment, an orientation sensor may be placed to sense the orientation of the vehicle rather than a pair of goggles worn by the observer. This embodiment may be particularly useful for remotely controlled weapon systems, for example a robot carrying a weapon. The current state of the art uses two screens, one for navigation and one for aiming the weapon. A robot operator uses one screen to drive the robot and acquire targets, then refers to an adjacent screen to aim and fire the weapon. Registering the weapon video image to the navigation screen in a manner similar to an infantryman garners similar advantages for the robot operator. Additionally, because a robot's weapon is typically turret-mounted, sensors may be replaced with similar gear or other positional readouts based on turret position, laser rangefinder position, or weapon elevation position.
Along with the receipt of a video frame, orientation data may be received from sensors attached to a heads up display and a video source, as in step 803. This data may be received in the form of pitch, yaw, and roll angular values or in quarternions. Such values indicate the angle of vertical rise (pitch), the angle of horizontal rotation (yaw), and the angle of rotation around the line of sight (roll), for both the display and the video source. Having this data, in step 804, the difference in pitch and yaw values between the display and the video source can be calculated. The pitch delta is the difference in pitch values from the two sensors, and the yaw delta is the difference in yaw values. By knowing the pitch delta and yaw delta, the location of the processed frame within a heads up display is determined, as in step 805. In determining the location, the pitch delta and yaw delta values are mapped from degrees to pixels. This calculation requires determining the number of pixels in a degree of vision, and then multiplying that number by the pitch delta and yaw delta values to determine vertical and horizontal offset from the center of the visual field in pixels.
In step 806, the roll delta value is determined in similar fashion, by finding the difference between the roll values sensed at the video source and display. Based on the roll delta, the processed frame can be rotated for presentation within the heads up display, as in step 807. Various algorithms for rotating an image by a certain number of degrees are well known in the art.
Once the location and rotation of the processed frame within the display are determined, the frame may be cropped, discarding unneeded pixels, as in step 808. The frame may be resized in order to map the video information onto the pixels that will ultimately be used in a heads up display. This step may be necessary if the video images produced by a video source are larger than needed for display. For example, if a video image initially has a field of view of 8 degrees horizontal and 6 degrees vertical, it may be cropped down to 4 degrees horizontal and 3 degrees vertical, retaining the same center point. In this fashion, only a quarter of the image is retained, but it constitutes the most relevant part of the image. Alternatively, the video frame may need to be magnified or compressed in order to adjust for differences in magnification between the visual field and the native video frame. In addition, the frame may be enhanced by adding a border around the frame so as to further distinguish it from the visual field for an observer.
The processed video frame, at this point, may be displayed in a heads up display, as in step 809. The colored pixels of the processed frame are surrounded by dark or black pixels, which equate to transparent in a heads up display. The displayed frame appears before a visual field from the perspective of an observer of the visual field. The calculated position and rotational orientation of the processed frame place it on the display approximately in front of the same subject matter depicted in the visual field. In addition to the frame itself, additional information may be added to the display, for example, battery life data. The final display image, including the processed and repositioned video frame and any other information, is sent to the display, possibly using a standard video format such as 12-bit Video or NTSC.
At this point in the process, at decision 810, if another frame of video is set to be received (i.e., the display is still on), then the process repeats for each new frame, returning to step 802. In this fashion, each frame of video is individually processed, modifying the frame, positioning and rotating it based on the difference in orientations between the video source and the display, and then displaying it. As such, if the video source moves from left to right, then its orientation data will change, and subsequent displayed frames will move left to right across the visual field, aligning or registering each frame with the portion of the visual field it overlays. Once there are no longer any frames to be processed (i.e., the display has been turned off), the process comes to an end.
The effect of this upon the heads up display is depicted in
One possible consideration for the above described methods and systems is the problem of parallax. That is, because a video source and a heads up display are separated by some distance (e.g. 0.5 meters), if both devices are perfectly aligned, they will in fact be looking at slightly different points. As a result, in processing a video frame, the location where the frame is placed may be slightly off, and a displayed frame of video will not be aligned as perfectly as possible. However, this problem diminishes as the distance to a target increases. The further away the target, the smaller the change in degrees, and hence the smaller the error produced. For example, a target at 10 meters with 0.5 meters between gun sight and goggles produces an error of about 2.9 degrees in the placement of the video frame. At 100 meters, with the same 0.5 meters between gun sight and goggles, the error is only 0.29 degrees in the placement of the video frame.
The problem of parallax is to some extent a non-issue. The system proposed would likely be used for targets at distances greater than 10 meters more often than not. Moreover, when targeting a weapon using the system, the video frame displayed in the heads up display will ultimately be the source of assurance that a soldier's weapon is pointed at a proper target. Even if a video gun sight image is slightly misaligned with the visual field surrounding it, the soldier will primarily care that his weapon is pointed at the correct target. Further, the absolute amount of misalignment will be only 0.5 meters at worst using the above example. The video gun sight image will still appear over or next to the intended target. Note that weapon accuracy is governed by zeroing the weapon and the video gun sight image, so parallax has no effect on bullet accuracy.
To the extent that parallax is an issue, it can be handled in several ways. One solution is to integrate a range finder, such as a laser range finder, into the system to automatically detect the distance of targets and, given a known weapon-goggle distance, adjust the image placement accordingly. Another solution is to provide a range adjustment control which a soldier can use to manually adjust the range to a target, and accordingly adjust image placement.
Parallax may also be an issue when calibrating the orientation sensors. Calibration may be required when initially configuring the invention, and may also be required if a severe jolt to the system causes misalignment of the sensors. One solution may be to provide a button which is pushed to signal calibration. While holding the button, a reticle may appear in the center of the visual field while the video image may appear motionless off to the side. Once the visual field and video image are both centered on the same target, releasing the calibration button signals alignment to the system. The portion of the invention which calculates the position of the video image may then adjust its calculations accordingly. Centering on a distant target (for example, greater than 300 meters) during the calibration routine may be required as parallax will induce an angular error in closer targets, as described above.
Alternative embodiments may provide additional solutions to the issue of parallax. In one such embodiment, the image produced in the visual field of a display is captured by a second video camera. This second video feed or goggle image, along with the video images from the video source, are both fed into a computer for initial digital processing. As such, well known rigid or non-rigid image registration techniques may be used to register the images by, for example, finding common visual elements between them. This process is accelerated by having, based on the orientation data, a starting point from which to search the goggle image. Once the precise location of the video image is registered within the goggle image, the video image can be more accurately aligned. The video image may then be displayed in the heads up display alone, or the heads up display may be filled with the resultant combination of video image and goggle image.
While the invention has been described with respect to specific examples including presently preferred modes of carrying out the invention, those skilled in the art will appreciate that there are numerous variations and permutations of the above described systems and techniques. Thus, the spirit and scope of the invention should be construed broadly as set forth in the appended claims.

I figured it out. All I needed to do was restart my phone. It seems weird that it wouldn't detect it. But if anyone else has issues with this. That's the answer I came up with.

This Fort was build by Mughal emperor Akbar in 1583. The fort stands on the banks of the Yamuna near its confluence with the river Ganges. About 7 km from Allahabad railway station, near Sangam. Presently the fort is occupied by the Indian Army, only part of it is open to the visitors
the place s awesome n lovng..

Allahabad is worth a visit as it is a wholy place and a heritage city,though the city is not properly managed as dump sites are near the sangam and lot of beggars around
This fort is also known as Akbar's Fort. This is under the control of the Indian Army so one is not allowed to see the full fort but only those places which are of interest to the pilgrims. It is an experience to watch that.
Located right on the banks of river Yamuna.
The rampants overlook the sangam area.
Its a nicely maintained fort with lot of space around for walks inside.
The Allahabad Fort is just a stone's throw from the Sangam. So if visit the Sangam, you might as well visit the Allahabad Fort built by Emperor Akbar. Most of is used by the Army and hence closed to the public. It has the Akshay Vat, Saraswati Koop and Patalpuri Temple are in the precincts. Nothing to write home about.
Allahabad Fort was built by Emperor Akbar in 1583 AD. The massive fort stands on the banks of the river Yamuna near the confluence with river Ganges. Praised for it's architectural design, the Allahabad Fort is the largest fort constructed by Akbar. This fort has three magnificent galleries which are flanked by high towers.

These were awesome! One of the easiest dinners I have made in a long time (especially since I had the ground turkey already browned and frozen in my freezer). I didn't have cheese whiz so I used half a jar of cheese pasta sauce and added corn. I also added bell peppers with about 45 minutes left to cook. I WILL be making them again.
Good and easy to make. I followed the recipe other then I didnt' have any green chilies and we were snowed in so wasn't going to try and run out for some. I also made this on the stove top and not in my crock pot. We all enjoyed these.
Very simple, yet very tasty. Only slight changes are that I brown the meat with Chopped Garlic and Red Onions. Left out the cheez whiz and topped the taocs with Fresh Cheese. Also added a healthy dose of Oregano.
these are great even without the crockpot! I got side tracked and completely forgot to get dinner started so these were made on the stove top! I also didn't use cheese whiz but 2c shredded cheddar cheese and served these on tortillas with a little shredded lettuce and sour cream. The kids Loved it! This was an easy meal that took me all of about 20min on the stove and in one pan! So less mess, happy kids, and quick, what could be better?
Excellent! No Cheez Whiz here in the Netherlands so I did without it, but for the rest followed the recipe ( well, DH did, he had this ready when I got home from work) the heat in this is amazing.. it's spicy but not overpowering .. DH likes heat more than I do but we both totally enjoyed this recipe.. and that's exactly what I like most about this recipe. Everything went wonderfully flavourwise, and I will be making this again soonest. Please see my rating system: 5 stars for simplicity and ease and great taste AND for managing to find a balance that suited DH and I both as far as the heat. An excellent weekday meal. Thanks!

Utah cop on leave says he didn't refuse to work gay pride parade
Attorney for officer who was placed on leave for refusing an assignment to work a gay pride parade last weekend said Monday that his client has been defamed
By Brady McCombs
Associated Press
SALT LAKE CITY — The attorney for a Salt Lake City police officer who was placed on leave for refusing an assignment to work a gay pride parade last weekend said Monday that his client has been defamed by inaccurate comments made by the police department.
Attorney Bret Rawson said the officer didn't refuse to work the parade, but asked to be taken off the motor team that leads the parade and reassigned to behind-the-scenes duty. Rawson declined to divulge the officer's name. Salt Lake City police have not named him either.
The officer felt being on the motorcycle would make it appear he was advocating for gay pride, something that made him uncomfortable because of his personal and religious beliefs, he said. He never flatly said he wouldn't work the parade, merely asking for a different duty, Rawson said.
"You are essentially participating in the actual parade," Rawson said. "It's more than doing traffic, or patrol or regular police duties."
Salt Lake City police said last week that the officer was placed on leave for refusing to provide traffic control and security for the annual Utah Pride Parade.
"We don't tolerate bias and bigotry in the department, and assignments are assignments ... To allow personal opinion to enter into whether an officer will take a post is not something that can be tolerated in a police department," department spokeswoman Lara Jones told KSL-TV.
Jones said Monday she can't comment because the officer has hired an attorney, a sign of pending litigation.
The officer remains on administrative leave, Jones said.
Rawson, however, said his client has stepped down because of untenable work conditions. The officer, who has worked seven years in the department, is upset about the way what happened was conveyed to the media, Rawson said.
"He really did nothing improper," Rawson said. "He has never shown any prejudice or bigotry to any person in his role as a SLC police officer."

Morgan Smith, 19, and Emily Page, 20, pleaded guilty to importing a marketable quantity of a controlled precursor drug.
The court heard they went to Bali about a year ago and last November Smith was stopped by customs officers in Sydney, a search of her suitcase revealing drugs in tablet and liquid form.
Days later, six parcels of tablets were intercepted by customs.
Chief Judge Geoffrey Muecke said Smith naively thought she could make easy money and get a trip to Bali.
He said Page was the drug mule.
Smith was sentenced to 18 months in jail and Page 11 months, but both released on $1,000 good behaviour bonds.

Software "Reads" Kids' Expressions to Measure Pain Levels (Jun 21, 2015)
Researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine have developed a new method of measuring the pain experienced by pediatric patients using facial pattern recognition software. Pain is traditionally gauged via self-reporting, with patients rating their pain on a scale of 1 to 10; however, it can be difficult for medical professionals to accurately gauge the pain that pediatric patients are experiencing because children, especially young ones, are often unable to ac...Read More

Making Computer Science More Inviting (Jun 15, 2015)
In most technology companies, only about 15 percent of computer science graduates and technical workers are women. The industry has been under pressure to recruit more. The difficult question, though, is how to encourage more women. Some colleges have made significant strides. Their methods offer lessons for other colleges and companies hoping to increase the number of women in fields where they remain underrepresented. Behind the scenes of many of these colleges' efforts is an organization ca...Read More
Sizing Up Earth's Biosphere Supercomputer (Jun 15, 2015)
If you've ever wondered how much DNA data there is on earth, you're not alone. But a trio of UK researchers did more than wonder. They set to calculating the total information content in the biosphere and published their results and methodology in a recent issue of PLOS Biology. In this first ever accounting of its kind, the total amount of DNA in the biosphere comes out to roughly 50 × 1030 megabase pairs (that's fifty trillion trillion trillion base pairs). Weighing in at 50 billion met...Read More
San Francisco to Teach Computer Science to all Grades (Jun 14, 2015)
Presently, computer science is not a widely-taught subject in the San Francisco Unified School District. In the Spring 2014 semester, only a few hundred students took the AP computer science exam. The school district wants to increase these numbers, and expand computer science across all grade levels, because the subject is receiving high demand from the global tech industry. Recently, the San Francisco Board of Education unanimously voted to expand computer science education to all grade levels...Read More

The Software Catalog is just ...Read More
How a Handful of Companies is Forging the Future of Robotics Engineering (Jun 13, 2015)
Robotics are going to be a critical part of how we solve the big problems of the future. Unfortunately, it's still an immature industry, hampered by a lack of standards, a focus on proprietary hardware and software, and no institutionalized mechanism for sharing knowledge among engineers. As a result, young engineers are entering the workforce with little practical experience, and employers can't count on getting a standardized, well-defined skill set from new hires. However, several compani...Read More
Meet CHIP: The Hackable, Programmer-Friendly Computer That Fits In Your Pocket (Jun 13, 2015)
If you haven't already heard about Raspberry Pi, it's a computer that can fit on your credit card, literally. It uses the most basic setup possible: a few ports for power and peripherals, an operating system on an SD card and a frame that could fit in your pocket. The entire setup could be bought for roughly $40, meaning that just about anyone could purchase one. The CHIP is similar to the Raspberry Pi: it's a small, Linux-based computer that runs on absolutely bare-bones architecture. It's desi...Read More

The Complex Process of Developing Intelligence in Robots (Jun 10, 2015)
Though language learning comes naturally to a child, encoding this complex process into a computer system is difficult; it lacks the physical and emotional connections to sounds and objects that are vital to the process of interpreting, conceptualizing, and understanding language. Today's computer systems lack neurons and empathy, two ingredients vital for human language learning. But Onyeama Osuagwu, a Ph.D. student in electrical and computer engineering, is working to build a system that can...Read More

Wanting all the "tions"!
This New Englander-at-heart is ready to have fun and take one day at a time. A little texting and emailing are fine, but I'd prefer to get to know someone via the old-fashion way, phone and eventually in person. I am honest and very sincere. I am a person of integrity, as well. A strong foundation is absolutely key to any relationship, and w/out it, you will have a weak structure. I firmly believe this, and it is what I will work to build w/that someone special. I have a commitment to my faith, family and friends. I am a nuturer and very attentive. I will take care of my partner's every need, and would like it reciprocated. I love anything fitness and outdoors (skiing: downhill water, golf, mtn biking, boating or a simple walk in the woods). I take good care of myself and I eat healthy. However, I have an appreciation for great restaurants, fine food, wine and fine arts. I love to travel and explore new destinies, when I can, but it's not as often as I'd like. I would love to share that with the right person. Enough for now. There's so much more to discover.... I am looking for a FEMININE woman......who's not afraid to laugh at herself....and at me!-I can be funny and goofy too!!! You must have all your "tions": education, occupation, transportation, and habitation. I prefer someone who works out and takes care of themself. It says a lot about you. You know how to dress up w/a great pair of heels, but can be comfortable in jeans and a t-shirt too. Intelligence, honesty, respect, selflessness and self-awareness are very important qualities you must possess. Ok, here's the big one....I am a devoted mom to an adorable 8 yr old little girl. You must love and be comfortable around kids. However, I am very protective over her, as expected, and it would be a long while before the person I am seriously w/will be introduced to her. It will happen at the appropriate time only if you are "the one". Please don't be offended if I don't respond if you reach out. I know what I am immediately attracted to, and I won't waste your time or lead you on if you're not in my wheelhouse. ;)

The Roger Clemens Mistrial
by Tap Money
posted Jul 14 2011 12:11PM
For almost three years, federal investigators have been building a perjury case against Roger Clemens, the seven-time Cy Young award winner who told a Congressional committee, under oath in a nationally televised 2008 hearing, that he never used performance-enhancing drugs. They gathered DNA evidence that allegedly tied Clemens to syringes saved by his former trainer, Brian McNamee, who claims he injected Clemens with steroids. The government was set to call Andy Pettitte, Clemens' former teammate and best friend. In a sworn affidavit, Pettitte said that Clemens told him that he had used human growth hormone. Why would Pettitte ever tell a damning lie, under oath, about his buddy Clemens? Pettitte's testimony would be devastating.

Over the weekend, I was back at Gunsite Academy in Paulden, Arizona for the annual Gunsite Alumni Shoot (better known as GAS match). In case you missed my series back in April, you can check it out here.
The official shoot was on Saturday with a barbeque and get together Friday night. When I pulled up to the famous Raven gate around 4:30 pm, I knew something was wrong. There were media satellite trucks and Yavapai County Sheriff Department vehicles everywhere.
Luckily, my buddy Bob Shimizu was at the gate and he let me in. I made my way to the office and found one of my instructors, Dave Starin, and his wife, Karen, who works as a class coordinator. When I asked what was going on, they told me there had been a plane crash.
Earlier in the day at 12:30 pm, Buz Mills, the owner of Gunsite, watched the crash happen in horror after a Cessna 340 flew just feet above his head and crashed 150 yards behind the office. The plane made an extremely low pass over the property, and after attempting another extremely low pass, the right wing of the plane was severed upon striking a 40 foot tall radio tower. The wing rolled over the plane, immediately flipping it over and slamming it into the ground. The plane exploded into flames upon impact. Debris fell everywhere, and by the time it was over, there wasn't a plane left, just pieces. There were no survivors.
