Van's Aircraft has tapped US Sport Planes of Denton, Texas, to provide factory authorized service for the RV12 SLSA Light-Sport aircraft.
One Week Wonder makes first flight
At approximately 11:07 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 5, the airplane thousands of Experimental Aircraft Association members had a hand in building during the One Week Wonder project at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2014 flew for the first time.
With EAA's Jeff Skiles at the controls, the Zenith CH 750 Cruzer N140WW departed Wittman Regional Airport's Runway 9, quickly ascended to about 1,800 feet, did one circuit around the pattern, landed at 11:19 a.m., and taxied to EAA's Weeks Hangar on the north side of the runway.
Wright B Flyer launches new airplane project
DAYTON, Ohio — Wright "B" Flyer Inc., an all-volunteer organization that flies a lookalike of the Wright brothers' first production airplane, has launched a project to replace its venerable flying machine.
The not-for-profit organization has been flying Wright "B" Flyer No. 1, also known as the "Brown Bird" or "Iron Bird," since 1982. The one-of-a-kind airplane resembles a 1911 Wright Model B airplane, but its design meets modern airworthiness standards, and it's built from modern parts and materials.
Homebuilding okay in hangars
You probably know someone who is building an aircraft in a hangar at a publicly owned airport. It may surprise you to know that, until recently, the FAA considered that activity outside the appropriate use of a hangar.
On July 22 the FAA released a proposed policy statement stating that the final assembly of homebuilt aircraft can be done in airport hangars at publicly owned airports.
Bearhawk LSA Kit completes maiden flight
AUSTIN, Texas — Bearhawk Aircraft's first kit-built Bearhawk LSA aircraft has completed its maiden flight.
New FAA hangar policy causing confusion
Two weeks after the FAA unveiled its draft policy for allowed uses in hangars at airports that receive federal grant funding, much confusion has emerged regarding the overall effect of the policy and what it means for hangar tenants. That's particularly true for homebuilders, who have heard conflicting stories about what it means for building an aircraft in an airport hangar, according to officials with the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA).
One Week Wonder begins to take shape
New at AirVenture this year is the One Week Wonder, in which everyone at Oshkosh gets a chance to help build a Zenith CH 750. The build kicked off at 8 a.m. Monday, July 28, and will continue throughout the week (see photos below).
The first 5,000 people who pull a rivet received a One Week Wonder commemorative pin, a digital photo as a keepsake of their experience, and the opportunity to sign their name in "The World's Largest Builders Log." Those who visit the exhibit tent at the show will also be able to cast their votes to select the winning paint scheme for the completed Zenith CH 750 Cruzer.
Van's debuts Dynon Skyview touch panel for RV-12
Just in time for EAA Airventure Oshkosh, Van's Aircraft and Dynon Avionics have introduced the dual-screen Dynon Skyview Touch option for the factory-built RV-12, available Sept. 1.
First flight: Sun Flyer
DENVER, Colorado – The single-seat technology demonstrator for the "Sun Flyer" solar-electric airplane completed first flight tests and will make its public debut July 27 in Oshkosh, the evening before the official start of EAA AirVenture Oshkosh.
Sun Flyer, being developed by Aero Electric Aircraft Corp. (AEAC) in conjunction with its development partners, Bye Aerospace and PC-Aero, are planning to offer the first U.S.-sponsored, practical, all-electric airplane serving the training, recreational and general aviation markets. AEAC is also collaborating with Redbird Flight Simulations to offer a pilot training system.
All-metal folding-wing Groppo Trail now available in U.S.

Academic journal article Harvard International Review
Market Power
Article excerpt
Markets determine the price of your morning cup of coffee and the value of your retirement savings. In ways less obvious but no less real, markets also determine your prospects of being targeted by a terrorist attack. They trade in nuclear weapons, human beings, and body organs. Unlike the market for coffee, these entail illegal activity and operate underground. But they are markets nonetheless.
The globalized world is the site of unprecedented levels of market activity, but markets do not have a built-in moral compass. For capitalism's founding father Adam Smith, the system of free exchange, through an "invisible hand," maximizes the gains of all even when individuals act self-interestedly. But does the invisible hand lead to good when someone purchases nuclear weapons intending to use them on others? How can the market justify the buying and selling of humans and their organs? If it cannot, can the law and its enforcers push underground markets above ground or out of existence?
This issue's symposium, "Underground Markets," seeks to define what are underground markets, understand how they arise, and explore how these markets are tapped for sometimes innocuous but often nefarious purposes. Further, it asks how to curb illicit market activity that does not coincide with global norms.
Ending these markets, if desirable, would be difficult. In some developing countries, underground economic activity is estimated to comprise more than two-thirds of officially measured gross domestic product. Clamping down on underground transactions may require stifling legitimate trade and disrupting the daily lives of the world's poorest persons. Intervention in market activity also tends to bring unintended consequences. Attempts to restrict terrorist financing may slow legitimate financial transactions. Screening for nuclear weapons in harbors across the world dampers global trade. Will the free-market ethic permit restrictions intended to stop the underside of the global economy?
To address these difficult questions, we have gathered theoretical material to define underground markets and selected case studies that illuminate the powerful effect of illicit markets on their participants--and sometimes on innocent by-standers. …

UPDATED 5-24-11 at 2:45pm By Candace Sweat
The funeral for Gary Edwards has been scheduled for Saturday, May 28th at 10a.m. at the First Baptist Church in Live Oak, Fl.
UPDATE 05-23-2011 at 6:30pm by Jerry Askin
"I didn't believe it at first. I still don't believe it because it just don't seem right," says Denzel Washington, an eighth grader at Suwannee Middle School.
That's the feeling of many Suwannee Middle School students and teachers as they remember their school resource officer of 15 years and head football coach, Gary Edwards.
"He was a coach on the field and after the field. He was just a really good friend to you," says Brannin Pineda, a seventh grader at the school.
Several students like Pineda signed a banner in memory of Edwards, someone many students say motivated them to be the best they could be.
"He was like a father to most people. He taught them stuff. He was always there when people needed him and when he smiled, you wanted to smile to because he was always smiling," says Ty'Eisha Williams, an eighth grader at the school.
Troopers says Edwards was traveling along State Road 51 Saturday when 53-year old Pedro Levya, who troopers say was likely driving drunk, hit his car from behind, causing Edwards to swerve off the road and hit a pole.
"He's just a great man and he don't seem like he gone to me because he was an important man to my life and an important man to our football team," says Jadames Gardener, a sixth grader at the school.
We spoke with the school's principal, Norri Stelle, who says Edwards will never be forgotten.
Steele says, "Someone will, of course,,take the job, but no one will take his place."
School officials say Edwards leaves behind a wife and two daughters.
As for Levya, he had his first appearance Sunday morning and remains in the Suwannee County Jail. His bond has been set at $100,000.
He's charged with DUI with serious bodily injury, but we're told those charges could be upgraded to vehicular homicide.
[UPDATE] 5-23 Noon -
A Suwannee County Sheriff's deputy is killed in a weekend crash after FHP says a drunk driver hit his vehicle from the rear. The impact caused the deputy to swerve off the road and hit a utility pole.
FHP says 43-year-old Gary Edwards was off-duty Saturday night when just after 10pm, 52-year old Pedro Levya hit him from the rear while driving east on State Road 51 In Suwannee county.
Edwards' truck spun of control and hit a utility pole. Authorities say the driver who caused the accident is suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs when he hit Edwards.
Levya had his first appearance on May 22 and remains in the Suwannee County Jail with a bond of $100,000.
Gary Edwards was a sheriff's deputy for about 15 years in the county and worked as a school resource officer at Suwannee Middle.
Coming up later on Eyewitness News, you'll hear from folks who worked with Edwards personally and their reactions to the tragic loss.
The Suwannee County Sheriff says that The Florida Highway Patrol is now expected to upgrade the charge against Pedro Leyva to Vehicular Homicide.
(UPDATED): 10:00 p.m. 5/22
State Road 51 was a familiar ride to Deputy Gary Edwards who patrolled Suwannee middle school and worked in Suwannee County for about 15 years.
His Co-workers say, they did more than just work together, they were like family.
SGT. Tammy Lee says, "The last time I saw him was Wednesday at the school and I was picking up my son from school. He again had to say one more thing to make me smile and I'll always remember that last thing that he said."
FHP reports, The 43- year old was off duty Saturday night when just after ten he was driving on State Road 51.
53- year old Pedro Leyva was driving behind Edwards.
Levya is suspected of being under the influence of alcohol or drugs and hit the rear of Edwards' truck.
Edward's truck was struck, spun out of control and hit a utility pole.
Students and parents say, they will miss Edwards.
Dakota Simmons, a Suwannee Middle School Student says, "He was a very nice person, always helped us out with all of our problems no matter what they were and he was always supportive. I'm gonna miss you Gary Edwards."
Jessie Simmons, a local parent says, "He just watched out for them... All my kids tell me and all the kids that come to my house and hang out say he was really a great person. He was a pillar in the community."
FHP says, after the accident Edwards was taken to Shands Hospital where he died late Sunday Morning.
Leyva was arrested for DUI and the Suwannee County Sheriff says, FHP is expected to upgrade the charge to Vehicular Homicide
UPDATED: 1:49 p.m. 5/22/11

FHP says 43-year-old Gary Edwards was heading northbound on State Road 51 in front of Leyva's sedan, in a 1994 Ford Ranger pickup truck.
A press release from FHP says Edwards was traveling at a slower speed than Leyva's sedan. The front of Layva's sedan hit the rear of Edwards' pickup truck causing it to travel out of control off the west shoulder where the right side of the pickup struck a utility pole.

What you need to know about delivering citizen-centric services: from strategy to execution.

For a typical government, almost half of their budget will be spent on citizen-centric activities, through social programs, infrastructure and economics, safety and security. Spending on what would be called social programs, including entitlements, has been the center of many discussions around the exploding cost and size of governments. The challenges in defining what is discretionary, and where will investing and disinvesting hurt the longer term viability of the citizens, has never been more in focus than it is with the current economic situation.
This spending crosses multiple areas and industries, including healthcare, education, family services and law, as well as employment and training. For many people, that level of spend seems appropriate based on a premise that helping people will help business in the economy. But many disagree as to the way that government approaches spending in these sectors, the connection between actions and expected outcomes, and relative beliefs that governments could get more productive, and more value from these investments.
In a recent paper by analyst firm MWD, analyst Neil Ward Dutton outlines the several areas where information technology has been shown to be very effective in private industry where governments are seeking to build a foundation to better deliver citizen centric services. Neil identifies the most important lesson from the private industry: without a plan that connects specific initiatives to the long-term strategy, and assesses associated risks, more effective outcomes are simply not possible.
The first area where governments can make a big difference is by making their enterprise architecture "actionable" in other words to leverage our ability to capture and analyze the interconnected nature of people, processes and technology and model a future state blueprint and roadmap that captures a shared vision where the value and risks of decisions can be transparent. A key way to do this is through diligently working to connect the outcomes expected with the required programs and activities through the development of a "business architecture", which explicitly connects the long-term goals in the business processes that will be used and the goals the government needs to deliver on. The second area, as underlined by Neil, is business analytics as a key input into both the strategic and operational layers of the plan. Predictive analytics and line of sight reporting ensures that governments can validate the connection between their strategy and to monitor the evolution of citizen centric delivery, to modify processes as needed, for constant improvement.
Neil's work also capture several case studies to show how these successes are starting to show up in the public sector, in places like Canada, where multiple government, civic, and business leaders have organized themselves ,focused on making government across Canada faster better and less costly. The organization, the Municipal Information Systems Association, or MISA, has developed a municipal reference model that captures best-practice process and measurement content for budgeting and operations of 700 municipal processes, contained in an Enterprise Architecture, so each municipality can adopt the best practices of others, benchmark their progress, and ultimately deliver repeatable, successful, proven outcomes in the various services areas where they intersect with public needs.
Another good example is the professional certification accelerator solution developed by Texas Education Agency (TEA) to automate and enhance the teacher-credentialing process, now turned into a reusable asset for all other states in the U.S. The solution developed by IBM and TEA simplifies and tracks the certification process for each applicant, combines easily adjustable business rules with automated processes and enables government education agencies to apply advanced analytics, driving better student outcomes and ensuring that key criteria are met in a timely manner. Today, TEA can implement legislative changes using business rules 90 times faster than in the past and spends 35 percent less time on rules administration.
Rick Goldgar, the Deputy CIO of Texas Education Agency, will present the solution in details at Impact 2011, the Global IBM Conference that bring together more than 6,600 technology and business leaders to discuss and master the latest Business Process Management (BPM), Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Cloud solutions

The BBC Is About to Repeat Canada's Mistake
As the BBC approaches its 100th anniversary, the venerable broadcaster is in a pitched battle for its future. The Canadian experience provides a lesson on how not to fund the BBC. Canada abandoned the licence fee in the 1950s on the premise that TV was too expensive to be funded by individual households.

Kanyogoga Twetungure Group
Before he embarked on this business venture, Henry was fully engaged in that common business that preoccupies most people in Western Uganda: farming. Henry also raised pigs. Weekly, he says his business generates for him 100,000 shillings in sales profit. With this loan, Henry says he is going to purchase more drugs to resell.
Henry is affiliated with the Kanyogoga Twetungure Group.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

We've heard a lot about urban farmers lately, but what about apartment dwellers who just want gardens? Get some ideas from Paula Crossfield, a contributing producer for WNYC's Leonard Lopate Show. She took Lo-Down on a video tour of her rooftop garden in the East Village, hand-built with cedar planks, 1,500 pounds of soil, and Styrofoam peanuts picked up off the street. Watch the video and be even more bummed you don't have roof access.

Keri Carter-Thomas got the phone call Monday for which she had waited nearly six years.
New London police, working with the Southeastern Connecticut Cold Case Unit, had obtained warrants charging two men with murdering her husband, Todd "T-Rek" Thomas, outside of Ernie's Cafe on Bank Street in New London on Dec. 23, 2006.
Darius K. Armadore Sr., 32, formerly of Groton, was arraigned Monday in New London Superior Court on charges of murder and conspiracy to commit murder. Gerjuan R. "Callie" Tyus, 32, of New London, will be arraigned today on the same charges. Both men are incarcerated on unrelated charges.
Thomas, 30, had been shot in the head just two days before Christmas. Carter-Thomas, who had dated him since she was 16 and had two children with him, became obsessed with finding his killers. She went to Ernie's and to other places her husband had been that night and spoke with anybody who would talk to her. She passed on information to the New London detectives assigned to the case and talked with them regularly.
Carter-Thomas had tears in her eyes as she sat in court Monday with Thomas' father, John Thomas, her 18-year-old son and New London Detective Richard Curcuro, who she said was "the best in the whole world."
She said she won't miss any of Armadore and Tyus' upcoming court dates. She wants to know why her husband was taken from her at such a young age.
"By what I'm told, he didn't even see it coming," she said. "He was just standing there smoking a cigarette. I want to know why."
Carter-Thomas said she doesn't think her husband knew Armadore, but that Thomas and Tyus may have been involved in an earlier incident. Tyus had been shot in the leg and back on Willetts Avenue in New London three weeks before Thomas' death. Police were told that Tyus' shooter had left in a white Lexus, which was what Thomas drove.
Carter-Thomas, who wanted her husband to stay away from the street life, said he told her in the weeks before his death that someone in New London was looking to kill him. She thinks their "beef" began when Tyus accused her husband of flattening the tires on his truck.
The arrest warrant affidavits detailing the case against the two men have been sealed for two weeks.
At the arraignment, Carter-Thomas watched calmly as Armadore was led into the courtroom by a judicial marshal and a correction officer. He is being held at the Northern Correctional Institution, which is the state's "super max" prison for problem inmates, and wore a neon orange jumpsuit indicating he is a high security prisoner. He has a tattoo on his neck that says 617, a likely reference to the area code in the Boston area, where he once lived.
Armadore and Tyus both have extensive criminal histories.
In 2003, Armadore was sentenced to five years in prison, suspended after 20 months served, for nearly killing a man by stabbing him in the back at the Branford Manor housing complex in Groton. He told the sentencing judge that he was trying to protect himself, and his family members said he had turned his life around. Armadore is currently nearing the end of a 1½ year sentence for violation of a protective order.
Two days after Thomas was killed, Armadore was shot during a melee at a Providence nightclub. The bullet grazed his neck and he survived.
At the arraignment, Judge Susan B. Handy set his bond at $1 million and appointed attorney Peter E. Scillieri from the public defender's office to represent Armadore. The judge ordered Armadore to have no contact with Tyus or with Thomas' family and continued the case to Nov. 27.
Tyus, who is scheduled to appear before Judge Handy this morning, is serving a three-year sentence for carrying or sale of a dangerous weapon.
The arrests mark the first for the New London police working in conjunction with the cold case unit, according to New London Deputy Chief Peter Reichard.
New London detectives had continuously investigated the case and had kept in regular contact with Thomas' family. Curcuro was assigned to the cold case unit in October 2011 to investigate further.
The investigators obtained the warrants in a relatively unusual manner for Connecticut courts. Judge Arthur C. Hadden had served as a one-man grand jury, listening to evidence and testimony in the case before signing the warrants.
Typically, the police prepare an arrest warrant and present it to a prosecutor, who evaluates it and signs it before it is presented to a judge for signature.

Denials in surveillance program require decoding
The companies tied to PRISM also are limited by law in how much they can say. They are prohibited from disclosing their compliance with orders issued under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978. That law hatched the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, whose activity is considered to be classified.
Microsoft began turning over data in 2007 on the sixth anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, according to the PRISM slides obtained by the Post. The documents list the following start dates for data collection at the other companies and services: Yahoo, March 2008; Google, January 2009; Facebook, June 2009; Paltalk, December 2009; YouTube, September 2010; Skype, February 2011; AOL, March 2011; Apple, October 2012.
In their posts, both Page and Zuckerberg seem to be telegraphing to the world that Google and Facebook are doing their best to limit the amount of user data that's being handed over to the U.S. government.
To do so, they both cite disclosures earlier this week that Verizon Communications has been providing the NSA with portions of the calling records for all its U.S. customers since late April. The disclosures being made under court order cover an estimated 3 billion calls per day.
"We were very surprised to learn that such broad orders exist," Page writes in his post. "Any suggestion that Google is disclosing information about our users' Internet activity on such a scale is completely false."
Zuckerberg also points out that Facebook has never received a government order covering as much user data as the one that Verizon received. "If we did, we would fight it aggressively," he says in the post.
Both Page and Zuckerberg conclude their posts by imploring the government to be more forthcoming about the steps that it is taking to protect the public's safety.
"The level of secrecy around the current legal procedures undermines the freedoms we all cherish," Page writes.
Google is no stranger to defying the federal government's requests. The company recently received a setback in its challenge of the FBI's warrantless demands for customer data. In a ruling written May 20, U.S. District Court Judge Susan Illston rejected the company's argument that the government's practice of issuing so-called national security letters to telecommunication companies, Internet service providers and banks was unconstitutional and unnecessary.
Illston ordered Google to comply with the FBI's demands. But she put her ruling on hold until the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals can decide the matter. Until then, Google must comply with the letters unless it shows the FBI didn't follow proper procedures in making its demands for customer data in the 19 letters Google is challenging, she said.

A lifelong Camas resident who couldn't afford college has left a $1.3 million legacy that will help generations of students attend Washington State University Vancouver.
Before her death, Kathy Sinclair created a scholarship fund to assist middle-class students working their way through school.
Sinclair died Feb. 22 at the age of 89.
The Glen D. and Katherine Sinclair and Family Endowed Scholarship is the largest endowed scholarship fund in WSUV history, and the second-largest gift overall, said campus development official Jennifer Miltenberger.
Glen Sinclair, former Camas police chief, died in 1991.
"Education was an area she felt very passionate about," Miltenberger said. "She and her family were not able to afford to send her to college. She wanted a fund to help community members have an opportunity to go to school."
The fund is designed to help middle-class students from the community who are working their way through college, Miltenberger said.
Sinclair also indicated a preference for single parents, and students with dependents who are working their way though college.
Kathy Sinclair was born on Sept. 23, 1921, and graduated from Camas High School in 1938. Glen Sinclair was a Camas police officer and served as police chief from 1974-79.
The family lived modestly, Miltenberger said.
Four percent of the interest generated by the fund will go to scholarships; the rest will be reinvested to help the endowment grow.
When the first round of scholarships are awarded for fall semester, about $52,000 is expected to be available, Miltenberger said.
"It pays for tuition, which is a moving target," Miltenberger said. "It's about $10,000 a year right now."
The largest overall gift is from the Tod and Maxine McClaskey Foundation, a $1.5 million gift to support the WSUV childhood development program.
The Washington State University system is participating in a $1 billion fundraising campaign. It is scheduled to conclude in 2015, coinciding with WSU's 125th anniversary celebration and WSUV's 25th anniversary.
"WSUV's portion is $20 million," Miltenberger said, and the Sinclair legacy "has put us at more than $11 million."

Leaflet law may put San Clemente in legal spotlight
What a San Clemente law calls litter, a federal appeals court calls free speech.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco said in a 3-0 ruling Friday that a San Clemente law aimed at littering does not justify banning leaflets placed on parked cars because it hampers free speech.
San Clemente now has two choices: It can do nothing and be issued an injunction, or it can petition the U.S. Supreme Court to review the case. The city has yet to make a decision, said Ed Richards, San Clemente's attorney.
If San Clemente opts to go to the Supreme Court, it would launch the city of about 68,000 residents into the center of a nationwide conflict.
The circuit court ordered the city to stop banning leafleting, but the order won't take effect until the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, which is where the case was first reviewed, carries out the decision.
"It won't be tomorrow, but it won't be six months from now," said Richards, of Irvine-based law firm Kutak Rock LLP.
The case brushes a new coat of paint on an old question.
"There are cases in other districts (that) concluded that the city's right to legislate is more important than minor First Amendment expressions," Richards said. "Other cases say First Amendment rights trump the city's right to regulate. Until this case came out, we didn't know where California or the 9th Circuit Court would be.
"It's my opinion that inevitably the Supreme Court will take one of these cases," Richards said. "It eventually needs to settle the conflict between courts across the country."
People distributing handbills have the right to express their views even if recipients throw the leaflets away, Judge Marsha Berzon wrote in the circuit court's opinion on the case, called Klein v. City of San Clemente. To justify the ban, the city must show that the leaflets substantially increase litter, she added.
"Discarded paper, coffee cups and food wrappers can also add to litter, but we remain free to carry beverages and candy bars on public streets, indicating that municipalities do not usually endeavor to eliminate all possibilities of litter," Berzon wrote.
In June 2007, Orange County sheriff's deputies ordered a group of people to stop placing leaflets expressing their views on immigration under the windshield wipers of unoccupied cars parked on San Clemente streets. Deputies said the group members were breaking an anti-littering law and would be cited if they continued. The group stopped, but then filed a lawsuit arguing that the ban violated their freedom of speech guaranteed by the U.S. and California constitutions.
The central district court denied the group's request to stop the law, because it narrowly prevented litter and promoted aesthetic values. The circuit court Friday said that decision was wrong.
A 1943 U.S. Supreme Court ruling says the government can't prohibit the distribution of literature just because it might cause litter.
San Clemente claimed that banning leaflets on cars preserves an individual's right to decide how and when his or her private property will be used, but circuit judges said that shuts off the flow of protected speech.
"The mere fact that an unwilling recipient must take the unsolicited leaflet from her windshield and place it in the garbage cannot justify an across-the-board restriction," Berzon wrote.
Instead of a ban, the circuit court suggested that motorists post "No soliciting" signs on their dashboards to prevent unwanted leaflets.
The California Supreme Court hasn't ruled on whether leafleting unoccupied cars is incompatible with the state constitution's liberty of speech clause, but it has said solicitors are allowed to place handbills on homes. In a 1971 decision, the California court struck down an anti-littering law that banned leafleting on private residences.
The circuit court's ruling also applies to commercial advertisements.

Camera, Stereo 35mm, Lunar Surface, Apollo
This Eastman Kodak 35mm camera is the same type as those the astronauts used to take pairs of close-up photographs of the lunar surface during the Apollo program. When the camera's base was placed on the Moon's surface and the trigger under the handle pulled, the camera would photograph the area beneath its lenses. The resulting photographs would give a three dimensional or stereoscopic effect when placed in a special viewer.
NASA transferred this camera to the Smithsonian in 1976.

Car Owners' Reviews
Car Reviews and Owner Comments
We bought our Durango Limited with the 5.7 Hemi in August, 2004. The truck now has almost 60,000 miles. We have no maintenance issues to speak of other than a cruise control issue that was resolved with a computer update. So far we have replaced one set of tires and performed one brake job. Like everyone else, I wish the fuel mileage were better, but hey, its a HEMI! I would buy another one of these and recommend this vehicle to anyone. It is to bad that Dodge has elected to terminate production. It is and was one of the best U.S. manufactured SUV's in the market and one of the least expensive as well when you consider the "bang for the buck" the machine has to offer.
Love my car except Air conditioning
Overall an excellent compact car. Bought new in 2006 in California. Had a couple problems with car that were taken care of promptly by Mazda; 1. Clutch was defective right out of the box. With only 24 miles on the car (driven by a person who has had a couple m/t cars before), the clutch broke. 2. #3 engine mount broke at around 29K miles, requiring replacement of the front axles and the mount. I would suggest having the dealer take a look at your car for this - it's a Ford motor mount so quality is questionable. Besides those problems, the car has been great. Handling is responsive and the car is very easy to drive. Engine is powerful enough for a small car but if you like performance then the 2.3 or 2.5L is a better choice.
Good vehicle that does almost everything a full size truck can do but still fits in a standard two car garage. I have towed filled trailers across the Rockies during the hottest part of the summer with ease, but it is still my daily driver. The rear differential of this vehicle (at least in the 2003 model year) has a flaw that will go unnoticed until you are broken on the side of the highway, unless you change your own differential fluids. When I did this at 30K miles I noticed large metal shavings and took it in to the dealer. It was covered under warranty, but if I didn't do my own minor repair work, this would have gone unnoticed until the rear differential self destructed.
I have a 2005 PT Cruiser and love her. Great gas mileage, comfortable and cozy. Never a problem until now. My brake lights will not come on. If any one know how to fix it please write back. When I have this one payed off I'll get another it is that good!
No major problems except those associated with age. Decent work horse, not fancy, could be more comfortable for taller drivers. Not crazy about the steering, always seemed a little loose but they use a special valve steering system so it's okay, my wife has no issues with it.
Overall, I love this car and what it's done for me except for the following things that were more major than usual things. While still new I had front discs replaced too many times due to warping. Dealer told me after the 5th set that I needed the rear brakes done as well. Forget that! I went to a speed shop near my home for them to check out the brakes. The rotors were indeed warped again due to heat build up. He asked me when the rear brakes were replaced and they hadn't been. The answer to the problem? The rear brakes were still in factory condition because they never touched the drums. They were never set in all the time Mitsu had the car. A/C compressor issue. It took over a week when my car hit 178k and the compressor seized. It took over a week because the compressor the dealer put in the car before I bought it didn't belong to a Galant ES. My mechanic finally found one on a website in Ohio that fit like a glove but sounds like it belongs in a truck. I had to take it, it's Florida and you need air in the cars.
Great Vehicle! It is the second in a row that we have owned and it has always performed well.
I own the fabled 500sel w140, it is a smooth ride!
lovelovelove this car! i will never ever sell this car ever!:)
I have had this car for awhile now. Purchased used, 89K, and it seems to be a decent car for what its worth. It sometimes has a slightly rough gear shifting, and I need to replace 2 motor mounts, which could definitely contribute to this. But, other than that, I like it. Would consider re-buying.
this has been a very good car-need to keep tires rotate and they won't cup-2.0 sohc engine may drop valve seat and ruin engine with no warning usually after 140-150 thousand miles but can happen earlier overall not a bad car at all-remember this is not a lincoln.
I love my car
pretty good car,but hard on gas.
2006 Envoy just clipped 70k. Love this truck & will drive it as long as it last. Fuel gauge failed while under warranty. Just had to replace front right wheel bearing that was most likely from my driving. Two dealers had a price difference of $200, so I just ordered one online and replaced myself, easier than changing brakes and saved myself a bundle of cash. I love this truck. The one thing GM got right was there truck lineup.
Bought my 1999 in 2009 for $5,500 with only 23k miles! It's been a great car for the money. I'm doing repairs myself which include servicing the window switch, plugs and wires. Serpentine belt. Had a problem with water collecting in 2 of the plug wells which turned out to be a recognized problem. The fix is to add a Barns leak pellet to the cooling system. That could be a major problem down the road? I don't know. That's why I'm giving just 3 stars for the engine. Other than that, the engine has been reliable. Had some vibration noise which turned out to be the head light assemblies vibrating. Put some rubber around the edges. Quieted down significantly. Changed trans fluid and filter at 30k and the trans continues to be trouble free. I like the car.
Recently had to have my crank shaft sensor replaced. The car would cut off while driving it. Finally took it to a Kia dealership and they found the problem. However, this is a time consuming repair. They had to take out the engine and while they were there they replaced some belts. The crank chaft sensor was covered by the warranty but I still paid with new belts, etc around $700 including labor. This is the most expensive repair I've paid for and I've had the car for at least 2 years. I did have to have the gas tank replaced last year. It was rotted and was leaking gas. Not sure if I would buy another Kia.
Why did they stop making these? Stupid, Stupid , Stupid!!! The Best Minivan on the road. If I couls I would buy up old ones and refurbish them. They were a real work horse. I would get one now and put an EcoBoost in it!!! I really loved this vehicle need to bring em back! Mine was given to me by a church member he thought the head gaskets were blown but they weren't and a transmission, it sat for 4 years and I tuned it up and added fluid. It ran like it was new. His wife saw it at church and could not believe it, before they got rid of it she hated it but seeing it on the road she just looks and smiles. The Ac could use a boost. My sister had a Chevy Astro, I could out tow that thing any day of the week. I used to pull a 19 1/2 SeaRay with it until somebody stole my boat. Aerostar nothing better, oh I paut Lincoln Tc Wheels on it. I got some crazy looks but it still looked good.
When I first saw this body style I HATED IT!!! It eventually grew on me, but then I drove One it was a 92 . I said these things might be alright. After owning a 81,85 and 88 TC's I grew to like it more. My 85 and 88 were wrecked and I traded my 81 trying to please a woman. My 96 Tc is a dream to drive I found it in a junk yard guy said it looked like an old persons car he let it go for 600 back in 05. I have put about 50,000 miles on it since then. Up and down the east coast to Fl. and Ohio a few times it has been very dependable. Had a blow out once and the tread ripped my wiring harness out and i did some serious splicing on the side of the road. Just wish the engine had more power.
I love my no frills 2000 Ranger. Just shy of 100K miles,nothing beats it for dependability. I travel for my job almost exclusively by air so this is my airport utility truck. It's always great to see it there in the parking lot after a long trip! Terrific to have for light hauling. At times I'm the most popular guy in the neighborhood as I loan it frequently to friends. Every man should have a truck and my little no frills Ranger is my third (and favorite) one. It's terrific. Bought it used 4 years ago and $0 have gone to repairs.
Until now, every car I've owned has been a Chevrolet and the need for repairs were usually based on the car's usage. When I purchased this Mercedes, I was riding the train to work 5 days a week and only driving the car to and from the station which was 4 minutes from my house. Twice a year, after owning the car for 2 years, the car needs repairs. I really expected more for the money but this has been a huge disappointment and I would not dare to recommend this car to anyone.
I bought a 2001 with 6 miles on it ( she now has 149000! ), and have been 90% thrilled and 10% pissed. Everything with this SUV is fine, great even- except for really one thing: paint issues. The fiberglass hood is corroding, which is weird, and Ford knows about the problem but wont fix it, even under warranty. So Im not happy with those prcks for that, but otherwise she is a great truck! I will run her till she drops, and may get another one, if I gt past there poor customer response.
jeep will not start no power to the coil will roll over fine was always hard to start now it won't start at all please help
I have over 190k miles on this car and I really like it still. The only problems are that the ext. paint has spotty oxidation (sort of) that keeps getting worse and the cloth seats wore through sooner than I expected. In 10/96, I was having intermittant problems with it starting and had the battery, starter and battery terminals changed. It was wet weather that Oct, and now, all of a sudden after a big rainstorm, it again died and wouldn't start. Otherwise, it's a zippy little car and living in the mtns, I find it fun to drive the mtn roads. It handles well and hugs the road.
1998 Mercury Mystique DO NOT BUY!!! Fuse Box ... NO GOOD! I had it rewired, replaced and worked on numerous times and my car still cuts off on me while driving from the starter relay connection in the fuse box, on the freeway! My brake rotars has grooves in it as if someone dragged their fingers through sand. i had the a/c condensor replaced and the car itself poked a whole in it and released all the new freon in it. My fuel pump went out and i just had it replaced, and the steering is bad, never has been in an accident.
you can tell i love my 95 tahoe hence the name tahoejoe lol. bought mine used with 50k. now at 152k she is still going strong. no major problems. drove her from georgia to california with no problems. the body is great. its big and roomy. i feel safe when i'm driving her. the greatest product to leave GM's vault. love it.
bought this car for the wife brand new with 1 mile on it. now at 92,000 the only thing i've done is 2 batteries, brakes, plugs, cam positioning sensor, and 02 sensor. i,m a techician so i do all the work myself. I love this car. really good car.
We purchased are Bimmer in 2007 with 87,500 mls on it. A year later I replaced the alternator and the radiator. We went on one trip in it to Tampa, Fl and it handled superb. Overall we are happy with our 540i.
Except for some minor repair problems which are associated with normal wear and tear of usage, this is a fine automobilr. We love it and are happy that we purchased it in 2007.
Excellent machine I love it.

Jumping off this cliff into a dream
Strum these chords so hard i'm snapping strings
Chuggachunk fifth and metal riffs
Rockin' so hard we're breakin hips
But now its up to us to be the change
And single handedly redeem the scene
Stages are for bands
And catwalks are for models
How'd we ever get these two confused
Put your girlfriend's pants
Right back where you got them
I hate to be the one to break the news
But rock and roll was never meant for you
Throw your fist up high then pull it down
Throw us out if we're not underground
Watching these bands blow up and out
Headed up north just to make it south
So now its up to us to be the voice
Of giving every fan another choice
I wanna look into your eyes and not just see the dollars signs
I want a tiny glimpse into your soul
The songs that my band loves to sing
Are not just songs for marketing
They belong to you to love and hold

okay, in all serious, what kind of underwear do you ride while riding. I know its gonna be hard to keep this mature, but I think most of can keep it that way. Okay, a few pantie jokes are okay, everyone likes jokes about undies. okay, so here is my question, and why I'm asking:
What kind of underwear do you where while riding? I normally wear Cargo style shorts, and boxer briefs, but am always having to "un-bunch" them. On longer rides I where cycling shorts under the cargos, but for shorter after work rides an such I just change my shorts and ride. How do you all deal with this problem. I know its been covered, but couldn't find any good info searching. What about u guys who ride in jeans. I know your not wearing cycling shorts under them.
Okay, heres the weird uncomfortable part. I have tried all kinds of undies, even comando (bad idea brothers.) But they all seem to act the same, boxers where the worst, and tighties just plain sucked. Am I stuck having to wear cycling shorts, or is there a better option. My cargos that I normally wear aren't overly loose, but not tight either. All my cargos are the same size about, would that be the issue. I have been dealing with this for years, and have finally had the fits of it

Re: Samyang 2/16mm for mFT
I doubt the MFT version will be very succesfull, a manual focusing lens that is slower than it's Olympus counterpart (the 17mm f1,8), much bigger but similar priced. If it's optical qualities are better, it will maybe be interesting for videographers.

GTK Serwis Company in Poznan, East Poland, developed a new way to help seniors living in their own houses. It is called "Button of Life, your home guardian angel."
It is aimed toward older adults living alone or in need of quick help because of age or illness. Through a Button of Life, participants can call for help 24/7, feel safer at home, gain better psychological comfort, and are more independent.
A Button of Life works as a two-part system that is installed in the homes of participants. The first part is a terminal (connected to a phone) equipped with a very sensitive loudspeaker; the second part is the button used to call for help. The button can be carried as a watch or necklace. When necessary, the participants can use the button and it will automatically connect to a 24-hour call center of care. Depending on the situation, a welfare worker can inform emergency personnel or connect to a family to transmit them their wish.
There is a monthly fee ranging from 70 PLN to 80 PLN (25-30 USD), plus a one-time activation payment (100 PLN; ca 35 USD). The service is activated after the agreement is signed and can be cancelled the last day of the month.
