PHOENIX, Aug. 12, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- A number of Honeywell Aerospace (NYSE: HON) products contributed to the certification of Embraer's newest midsize jet, the Legacy 500, setting a new standard for comfort and reliability in business aviation. Aligned with Embraer's vision, Honeywell's technologies on the Legacy 500 are designed for the highest standards of customer comfort and come complete with the most advanced cabin and propulsion technologies. Honeywell provides the turbofan engines, auxiliary power unit (APU), Ovation Select Cabin Management System, cabin pressure control system and air conditioning system for Embraer's latest midsize jet.
"The Legacy 500 offers a new level in comfortable business travel, and we've been fortunate enough to work with Embraer and its customers from the beginning to deliver a truly customized and modern flight experience," said Benjamin Driggs, president, Honeywell Brazil. "The connectivity delivered by Ovation Select and reliability inherent in the HTF7500E engines and the new APU are going to make the Legacy 500 a productivity tool that customers won't want to live without."
Honeywell's latest member of the HTF7000 engine family, the HTF7500E, was developed specifically for the Legacy 500 and offers the latest technology to reduce the Legacy 500's NOx emissions to 29 percent less than Committee on Aviation Environmental Protection standards. The HTF7000 series to date has flown 2 million flight hours with a dispatch reliability of greater than 99.9 percent.
The Legacy 500's excellent cabin connectivity and in-flight entertainment help support productivity and enable passengers to control cabin temperature and televisions.
"Honeywell's technology has helped the Legacy 500 redefine customer comfort," said Luciano Castro, vice president Programs, Embraer Executive Jets. "The reliability of the engines and the capabilities of the cabin management and environmental control systems also set new standards for providing value to operators."
Honeywell Products on the Legacy 500
- The HTF7500E turbofan engine delivers an optimal balance of performance and value with low maintenance costs and high reliability for today's business jet operators. The HTF7500E uses Honeywell's Single Annular Combustor for Emissions Reduction (SABER) technology to reduce the Legacy 500's NOx emissions to 29 percent less than Committee on Aviation Environmental Protection standards, with ample margin for CO, unburned hydrocarbons and smoke emissions. The HTF7500E's efficient engine design further reduces CO2 emissions while lowering aircraft operating costs through reduced fuel consumption.
- The 36-150EMB APU and starter-generator are integrated systems that supply pneumatic and electric power for the aircraft while on the ground and in flight. Featuring a ported shroud design, the 36-150EMB APU has 10 percent more flow and pressure than previous models for faster, cooler starting of the main engine and runs at a lower load point to reduce fuel burn and improve reliability.
- The Ovation Select Cabin Management System provides passengers with state-of-the-art connectivity for work and leisure via their smartphone, tablet or installed remote controls. Through an intuitive interface that integrates high-definition screens, remote controls and other electronics developed for the ultimate passenger experience, Honeywell's Ovation Select enables passengers to stay informed and connected with their business operations while traveling. In addition to controlling the system's entertainment and productivity components, Ovation Select also puts lighting, seats, temperature and galley controls at the passengers' fingertips.
- The air conditioning system, cabin pressure control system, supplemental cooling system and ventilation system are all part of the integrated environmental control system (ECS). Through a holistic approach, Honeywell is able to provide a more comfortable experience for passengers by minimizing changes in the cabin environment and reducing the workload for the crew. The Honeywell ECS is the highest efficiency, lowest weight solution in the industry, providing the Legacy 500 with reduced fuel consumption.

I wanted to gather all of my Internet of Things (IOT) blogs into a single blog (that I could later use with my University of San Francisco (USF) Big Data "MBA" course). However as I started to pull these blogs together, I realized that my IOT discussion lacked a vision; it lacked an end point towards which an organization could drive their IOT envisioning, proof of value, app dev, data engineering and data science efforts. And I think that the IOT end point is really quite simple…

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

Take advantage of spring rains: collect the water
Now that the drought has been banished, rains continue.
Texas Smartscape has some suggestions on how to capture that free water falling from the skies.
Use a downspout to divert water into a rain barrel.
Such a collector gathers water that would otherwise simply be lost to runoff or by being diverted into storm drains.
When you collect rainwater, you are helping the city and your fellow residents in many ways.
Stopping water from reaching creeks, rivers, lakes, and other water sources lessens chances of those bodies overflowing.
Another benefit is the reduction of stress placed on the sewer system.… Read the rest

Convictions, sentences of Azle man who shot at officers upheld
Auvenshire not eligible for parole until 2036
The conviction and sentencing of an Azle man who shot at White Settlement police and led them in a high-speed pursuit in 2014 was upheld by the Second Court of Appeals in Fort Worth.
In May 2015, Derek Kyle Auvenshine, 35, was convicted at trial of two counts of aggravated assault of a public servant, evading arrest with a vehicle, and felon in possession of a firearm.
He was sentenced to 45, 45, 35, and 27 years in prison, respectively, for the convictions, said Assistant District Attorney Jeff Swain.
"On appeal, Auvenshine's claim was that the evidence was insufficient to show he was the one that possessed the gun, shot it at the officers, and drove the car in the chase," Swain said.… Read the rest
Sales tax revenues on the rise – except at the 'Bay
If revenue from sales tax is the barometer, cities and other taxing entities in the area are experiencing smooth sailing.
With the single exception of Pelican Bay, all area cities and special purpose districts, as well as Parker County, saw increases in sales tax revenue in April compared with April 2015.
Although Pelican Bay's April revenue of $1,446 was a tad less – 0.79 percent – than its April 2015 revenue of $1,435, the city remains up 9.62 percent for the year, with $6,397 collected so far. It had $5,836 in its coffers through April 2015.

Excellent 4.3 /5 from 68 reviews
Was very nice, clean and quiet.
Great room for a great price. Very clean and the bed was soft. Got a great night's sleep. Plenty of room to move around and working from the desk or sofa was easy and comfortable.
Just need a better check in policy. They still charge you room rate for a deposit even though you have paid through hotels .com
The hotel was perfect for my family and I. Close proximity to the expressway/interstate, not far from downtown Atlanta; easy access to basically any part of Atlanta for shopping and eating. Lovely property; well kept. Great value, especially for rooms with a kitchen. Free parking a plus. Nice morning breakfast.
Decent hotel with a kitchen. Breakfast was nothing exciting, but not terrible. Only real downside were the thin walls and hearing neighbors constantly.

Dataguise, a leading innovator of data security intelligence and protection solutions, recently released 10 security best practices for organizations considering or implementing Hadoop. By following these procedures to manage privacy risk, data management and security, professionals can prevent costly exposure of sensitive data, reduce their risk profile and better adhere to compliance mandates. With Hadoop security deployments among the Fortune 200, Dataguise has developed these practices and procedures from significant experience in securing these large and diverse environments.
The explosion in information technology tools and capabilities has enabled advanced analytics using Big Data. However, the benefits of this new technology area are often coupled with data privacy issues. In these large information repositories, personally identifiable information (PII), such as names, addresses and social security numbers may exist. Financial data such as credit card and account numbers might also be found in large volumes across these environments and pose serious concerns related to access. Through careful planning, testing, pre-production preparation and the appropriate use of technology, much of these concerns can be alleviated.
The following 10 Hadoop security best practices provide valuable guidance throughout Hadoop project implementations, but are especially important in the early planning stages.

Nick Williams broke his own school record to lead a strong men's track performance at the Sam Houston Twilight on Thursday, the squad's last tuneup before the C-USA Championships at Rice from May 9-12.

Rice again dominated the 1500 m race, taking the top five spots. Alex Weinheimer won the race at 3:57.47, and was followed by Harry Sagel, John Cavallo, Travis Roberts and Meron Fessahaie.
Chris Pillow continued his strong season in the pole vault, clearing 5.10 meters to win the event.
Tyler Weist jumped 1.95 m, the highest clearance by a collegian in the high jump.
Clayton Chaney finished in second in the 100 m hurdles, and threw 40.35 m in the discus as he prepares for the C-USA Championship Decathlon on May 9-10 at Rice.
Alex Zinchenko posted two top four finishes, throwing 49.33 m and coming in second in the discus, and throwing 15.92 m for a fourth place showing in the shot put.
The Owls return to the track on May 9, as the C-USA Championships get underway at Rice's Ley Track/Holloway Field.

Social media platforms and the widespread use of mobile devices provide an affordable way to push out a steady stream of content to always-connected consumers and generate new business. However, many companies that are making the change from print-centric communication to digital content are finding that the transition isn't simple. The processes that are in place for creating, approving, publishing, distributing and tracking print-centric content don't scale when faced with omni-channel digital content.

Phil Mickelson is fast approaching his mid-forties when many players begin winding down their careers but the five-time major champion says he still has a lot of unfinished business left at the game's highest level.
Significant improvements in his putting and driving helped him enjoy a successful 2013 campaign and he makes his first PGA Tour start of the year at this week's Farmers Insurance Open in San Diego feeling better about his golf than ever before.
"I am really excited for two reasons ... the two areas of my game that have not been as efficient as I would like in the last three or four years have turned into strengths," Mickelson told reporters at Torrey Pines on Wednesday.
"One of them is putting. I putted great last year and I had a remarkable turnaround.
"And the other is the driver. As we have done a complete reversal on the direction, technologically speaking, it has made a world of difference for me and my game. I'm more excited about this year than any year ever."
Mickelson, who clinched his fifth major title last year with a sensational three-shot victory in the British Open at Muirfield, said his driving had improved considerably due to technological improvements in the club.
"Having the center of gravity lower and more forward has allowed me to make the same golf swing as my irons and hit the drives and the shots that I want and that I expect," the left-hander explained.
"It's just made driving a lot easier. I drove it the best I ever have Sunday in Abu Dhabi when I needed to hit fairways, I drove the ball great."
Mickelson, 43, tied for second at the European Tour's Abu Dhabi Championship on Sunday, in his first tournament of the year, after closing with a 69.
Winning a US Open title for the first time, to complete a career grand slam of the four majors, is a top priority for Mickelson and he is delighted this year's edition will be held at Pinehurst, North Carolina, where he finished second in 1999.
"I'm excited that the tournament that I've played some of my best golf in is the one that I haven't won and I feel like it's just a matter of time," he said.
"It may be this year at Pinehurst, it may not, but I do believe that will come. It's a tournament I've played too well in over the years not to finally win and I actually believe I'll win a couple.
"I'm not putting it all on one week. I think Pinehurst would be a great fit for me in that the greens repel balls off and there's very little rough which allows the short game to be a factor. It's a big reason why I played so well in '99."
Mickelson has posted 10 top-10s at the US Open, including a record six runner-up spots, most recently at Merion last year.
The San Diego native, who has won the Farmers Insurance Open three times, has been grouped with fellow American Bubba Watson and Australian Jason Day for the first two rounds at Torrey Pines.

WSU's Tuel wants to be heard
PULLMAN – After Washington State football players were called out publicly by coach Mike Leach for showing too much frustration on the sidelines during Thursday's season-opening loss at Brigham Young, at least one Cougars player actually wishes he'd shown more emotion.
In a positive way, of course.
"I haven't played a game like that in a while, and I maybe tried to play it a little too cool and just be too relaxed," quarterback Jeff Tuel said Monday. "And I need to let myself out more and let some of my passion for the game out, and do a better job leading and being vocal for my guys on the sideline to make sure that guys don't hang their heads and get down."
The unnecessary relaxation resulted in too much hesitation, something Tuel and Leach have readily admitted in the days since. And it manifested in late throws and scrambles that resulted in incompletions.
On more than one occasion, Tuel appeared to have room to run, an effective tactic for him in years past. But he seemed hesitant to take off on Thursday.
"I was maybe just a little too passive in the game and maybe, at times, trying to be someone I wasn't," Tuel said. "I've made plays with my legs my whole career here, and I need to continue to do that and give the defense problems with it."
Tuel said Leach has told him he'd rather watch WSU's running backs and receivers carry the ball, though the coach did say he was impressed with Tuel's ability to avoid pass rushers.
"He got out of some stuff I didn't think he'd get out of," Leach said. "He got out of some stuff and made some good plays on some stuff where he had people all around him and it was impressive that he got out of it."
Language barrier
The next time Leach discusses his players' body language, it'll be too soon.
But it was again a topic of discussion on Monday.
Junior safety Deone Bucannon offered an explanation for WSU's perceived lack of confidence against BYU: they're simply not used to everyone expecting them to succeed.
"It's new for us for everyone to have so much faith in us, even with the coaching staff to have so much poise … to be relied on and (have them) confident in us," Bucannon said. "We need to be more confident in ourselves before anything. That's what the coaches are instilling in us."
Said Tuel: "If you guys are expecting us to sit around and mope for the whole week, you're wrong, because that's not what's going to happen here anymore. Those times are over."
Lookin' at the roster
Leach said Connor Halliday will "probably" take a few snaps in a game before the conference schedule starts, but it appears the starting quarterback job is Tuel's for the foreseeable future. There is no longer an "or" listed alongside Tuel and Halliday on the depth chart, as there was last week.
Steven Hoffart, Ioane Gauta and Matthew Bock are now listed as the starters on the defensive line. Gauta, Xavier Cooper, who has been recovering from injury, and Adam Coerper were listed as the starters for the BYU game, though Cooper didn't play and Hoffart and Bock began the game on the field.

Title: Which native palms survived severe cold from Las Cruces NM
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:Can you tell me which of the north American native palms survived the severe cold last year that hit El Paso and Las Cruces?
We are sorry, there are no such statistics available to us. That would require knocking on doors, asking if they ever had certain palms, and did they freeze? The fact that palms are frequently damaged or killed by freezing weather is an outstanding argument for our contention that plants should be native to the area in which they are being grown. Both El Paso and Las Cruces are in USDA Hardiness Zone 8b; we will try to find out the hardiness zones of these palms, and also something about their growing conditions.
There are 8 palms or palmettos (both in Areaceae or Palm family) native to North America:
Coccothrinax argentata (Florida silver palm) - endemic to Florida, 4 counties in southern tip, Zones 9b to 11, likes warm, humid climate.
Rhapidophyllum hystrix (Needle palm) - native to Southeast, native habitat wet, grows natively from South Carolina to Alabama, Zones 8 to 10
Roystonea elata (Florida royal palm) - endemic to South Florida, 4 counties in southern tip, native to cypress swamps, Zones 10 to 11
Sabal mexicana (Mexican palm) - endemic to Texas, along Rio Grande River, Zones 8 to 11
Sabal minor (Dwarf palmetto) - likes damp, shaded places, native to Texas, Oklahoma and several southeastern states, especially cold hardy, has been know to grow as far north as Zone 7
Sabal palmetto (Cabbage palmetto) - Florida and southeast, not known to occur naturally over 75 miles from coast.
Serenoa repens (Saw palmetto) - Texas to southeast states, hardy Zones 8 to 10
Washingtonia filifera (California fan palm) - Arizona, California, Nevada and Florida, moist, alkaline soils, Zones 8b to 11
It would appear, if you can satisfy their moist soil needs, that Sabal mexicana (Mexican palm), Sabal minor (Dwarf palmetto), Serenoa repens (Saw palmetto) and Washingtonia filifera (California fan palm) could all withstand cold temperatures in Las Cruces and El Paso.

Abbas Dulleh, AP
FREETOWN, Sierra Leone — The dreaded Ebola virus came to the children's hospital in the form of a 4-year-old boy.
His diagnosis became clear three days after he was admitted. The Ola During hospital — the nation's only pediatric center — was forced to close its steel gates. Fear swelled. The boy died. The 30 doctors and nurses who had contact with him were placed in quarantine, forced to nervously wait out the 21 days it can take for the virus to emerge. And remaining staff so far have refused to return to work. They, along with millions of others, are facing the worst Ebola outbreak in history. Already, the hardest-hit West African nations of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone have reported more than 3,000 cases, including the infections of 240 health-care workers.
Ebola is now spreading from the remote provinces and into the teeming cities such as Freetown, where 1.2 million people jostle for space. Previous outbreaks had been limited to remote villages, where containment was aided by geography. The thought of Ebola taking hold in a major city such as Freetown or Monrovia, Liberia's capital, is a virological nightmare. Last week, the World Health Organization warned that the number of cases could hit 20,000 in West Africa.
"We have never had this kind of experience with Ebola before," David Nabarro, coordinator of the new U.N. Ebola effort, said as he toured Freetown last week. "When it gets into the cities, then it takes on another dimension."
The hemorrhagic fever has no cure. Odds of survival stand at about 50-50. Detection is difficult because early symptoms are hard to distinguish from those of malaria or typhoid, common ailments during the rainy season. While Ebola is not transmitted through the air like the flu, it does spread by close contact with bodily fluids such as blood, saliva and sweat — even something as innocent as a tainted tear.
Now it is headed to Freetown, where the streets hum with low-level panic. People long ago stopped shaking hands. Hugs are unheard of. Plastic buckets filled with a diluted chlorine solution are posted outside many businesses to encourage hand-washing. Some of these homemade solutions tingle and burn; others smell like aromatic cleansers. For a while, street peddlers, who normally sell peanuts or umbrellas from stacks balanced on their hands, sold surgical gloves, $1 each.
But the roads are still crammed with autos and people, stray dogs and wild chickens. Trucks with loudspeakers rumble down rutted roads."Wash your hands!" they announce in Krio. "Ebola is real!" shout banners strung throughout the city. Radio ads detail the virus' symptoms: headache, fever, nausea and vomiting. The government of Sierra Leone has been running these messages in the capital for months, just in case.
Sierra Leone's first case appeared in late May, in the distant Kailahun district. A month later, the country had 158 total cases. In late July, it was up to 533 cases. A national state of emergency was declared. Soldiers erected roadblocks to cordon off the rural epicenter, raising memories of the country's brutal civil war, which ended in 2002. Residents were ordered to stay at home for one day of prayer and reflection. An evangelist texted tens of thousands of people before dawn one morning, telling them to douse themselves in saltwater for protection from Ebola. People rushed into the streets, singing and washing.
"It looked like panic," said Killian Doherty, an Irish architect living in Freetown. "It's the kind of thing that makes you lose your bearings."
