Valley Metro Rail's Phoenix West project (rendering shown) is an 11-mile planned extension of the initial 20-mile starter light rail line. (Photo courtesy of InfraConsult.)
In 2008, Valley Metro Rail Inc. (METRO) began operation of a 20-mile starter light rail line, and more than 200,000 people rode the system during the two-day grand opening. Since that time, the popular system has seen consistent ridership 30 percent to 40 percent above projections.
InfraConsult staff members have been involved with the development of the METRO system since the early planning days and are currently providing public involvement and communication strategies services for an 11-mile planned extension of the system, the Phoenix West project.
Phoenix West is one of several extensions of the 20-mile light rail starter line that will eventually help create a 57-mile high-capacity transit system supportive of the region's growth. The study includes extensive community outreach in a corridor with very diverse socioeconomic populations and land uses. The InfraConsult team, led by partner Terry Gruver, is responsible for strategizing outreach approaches and techniques; coordinating all activities including outreach to residents, neighborhoods and businesses; facilitating citizen, stakeholder and agency meetings; making presentations for delivery to community groups; and assisting in or overseeing development of communication materials including project brochures, newsletters, website content and photo simulations.
The study has produced a Locally Preferred Alternative, and current efforts include working closely with a residential community on how the recommended alternative would best benefit and function within adjacent neighborhoods. Issues being addressed include potential historic properties and options for crossing an existing freight line.

"Ground loop dragged the right wing tip, went up, the prop hit then it stops and just flips over backwards....

West Baton Rouge Parish sheriff's deputies have arrested a man accused of leading Baton Rouge police on a pursuit Friday night from Government Street to West Baton Rouge, Baton Rouge police said Sunday.
Deputies have Louis Northern in custody and Baton Rouge police plan to move him to Baton Rouge in the next few days, police spokesman Cpl. Tommy Stubbs said.
No other information was available Sunday afternoon, Stubbs said.
Northern allegedly led Baton Rouge police on a chase Friday night from Government Street to the other side of the Mississippi River before abandoning his car in West Baton Rouge, Stubbs said.
Police are still investigating why Northern fled when an officer tried to pull the car over in the 7400 block of Government Street, Stubbs said.
Northern was speeding, which prompted the attempted traffic stop, Stubbs said.
No injuries were reported.
Stubbs has said that to his knowledge, no drugs or contraband were found in the car.

November 28, 2005
State elections were certified Monday, with officials announcing Democrat Bob McDonnell as the winner of the attorney general. But Republican Creigh Deeds said it's not over yet.
The results from the November 8 elections were carted into the General Assembly Building in Richmond Monday. The certification most people had their eye on was the attorney general race between McDonnell and Deeds.
"Mr. McDonald received 970,886 votes. Mr. Deeds received 970,563," said chairman of the board of elections, Michael Brown.
With that starts Deeds' battle.
"Senator Deeds has great confidence in the integrity of the Virginia electoral process, but he like everyone, knows from past experience that human error does exist," said chairman of Virginia Victory 2005, Larry Framme.
Deeds' camp announced he will officially file for a recount of the votes, a decision many expected. However, those with McDonnell's campaign believe a recount is unnecessary.
"I think the numbers have been counted now three times. The votes were counted on election night, then there was the local electoral board canvassing process, then today the certification by the state board of elections. In each of those it was a close election, but Bob McDonnell led and won in each situation," said Randolph Beales, who is on the executive committee of McDonnell's transition team.
McDonnell's transition team also added that they're ready to move forward.
"We're confident that on January 14th he will be inaugurated as Attorney General of Virginia," said Beales.
Although the recount does not guarantee Deeds a win, his camp is sure of one thing.
"What we are confident of is that there will be even more changes in these numbers during the recount," said Framme.
Deeds is set to file that recount Tuesday Morning. The process will be supervised by a three-court panel.

Dark, Brooding Underwater Photography Like You've Never Seen Before
Take a look at these stunning black and white underwater photographs by Indonesian photographer, Hengki Koentjoro.
Koentjoro's work are a stark contrast to the bright and colorful underwater photography one usually sees—they instead evoke a more mysterious and sinister sort of beauty.

Jason also has one framed SI cover of Tiger Woods winning the Masters.
Because it's Tiger?
No, because Jason was there.
The number one thing on his bucket list was going to the Masters, so he and some buddies scored tickets (I shouldn't ask how, he says) and went.
Shouldn't number one on your list be playing Augusta National, I ask. He laughs loudly. "Yeah," he says, "but that's never going to happen."
Also in that frame is a two-page photo spread from the front of the magazine of Tiger making the winning putt at the 18th green. When he saw that SI photo, Jason raced to grab a magnifying glass to give it a closer look because he was stationed at that green. Yes, he found himself in the photo. Cross off another bucket-list item. Jason has already appeared in Sports Illustrated.
Everything in this room has special meaning for Jason. If you can see past the Roll Tide stuff, including the 'Bama logo Jason has tattooed on the back of his calf, it's very cool. But it's not all fun and games. There's a gag sign: "If you're smoking, you'd better be on fire!" And there are the not-so funny souvenirs, the sobering relics of The Accident.
The story of The Accident would be more heroic if Jason had been badly hurt pulling an old lady out of a burning building. But that's not what happened. Maybe the real story is better because it's a reminder that police officers and firefighters are in harm's way every minute they're on duty. That's why they're heroes.
Jason's squad car was stopped at an intersection for a red light on the night of March 26, 2001. A runaway taxicab going 70-80 mph slammed into the back of Jason's car, turning it into a fireball. The cabbie suffered some kind of seizure and was involuntarily pressing the accelerator. The passenger trapped in the back seat - imagine that terror - escaped with broken ribs. The driver, who also survived, had suffered several previous seizures and wasn't supposed to be behind the wheel again. He drew a 12-year prison sentence.
Firefighters arrived at the scene quickly and were shocked to learn that someone - Jason - was trapped behind the wheel of the flaming wreck in the street. Hoses poured water in, a fellow officer on the scene found a big knife and cut through the seat belt so Jason could be pulled out. That knife is here, under glass in the man cave, along with a photo of the officers who extracted Jason from the car.
Jason points out another photo, where he's posing with the scrap pile that was once his squad car. The wreckage was kept for several years for legal reasons, and when he learned it was going to be destroyed, he went to the garage for a photo op. Jason doesn't remember any of The Accident, mercifully. The flames burned his face off and ravaged his hands. He suffered third- or fourth-degree burns over 43 percent of his body. He survived, he keeps moving forward, he's unsinkable.
There's something else. The uniform shirt he wore in the crash. When he officially retired from the police force in 2006, he was on stage at his retirement and presented with a surprise gift from his best friend and police partner, Bryan Chapman.
"Bryan went down to the evidence room at the station and said, 'I need Jason's uniform,' and they still had it," Jason says. "This thing was rolled up in a paint can. Bryan didn't even have it cleaned. My badge was there, too, still covered in soot. I had no idea they survived."
Chapman had the items mounted on the state flag of Arizona and presented it to Jason at his retirement reception. There weren't many dry eyes in the room.
"I was very emotional," Jason says. "There's all kinds of crap on the shirt, but it looks better than I do. I think it's beautiful."
A year-and-a-half after The Accident, Pauline Arrillaga of the Associated Press wrote a three-part series detailing Jason's incredible ordeal and slow recovery. It's nightmarish and grim at times, a story not for the faint-hearted. But it's also a tale of remarkable determination.
Maybe there are only two things you really need to know. One is Jason's young son, Zane. Several months after Jason returned home to convalesce, 3-year-old Zane knew one thing about the man with the strange face sitting in their living room chair - that was not his daddy.
The other involves the two police officers who pulled Jason from his burning car. As they loaded him onto a gurney, a chunk of burned flesh fell from Jason's arm, leaving a white patch underneath. One officer said later what they were both thinking: "I'm not sure we did this guy a favor."
The adventures of Jason Schechterle, inspirational public speaker:
"My wife and I had our third child 18 months after my accident. Everybody asks me, How did that happen? 'Well, not everything got burned.'"
The ritual begins anew each night. Jason removes his hard contact lenses, no small feat with his reconstructed hands. He's got a special mini-plunger for that task. Then he winds Saran Wrap around his head a couple of times before he goes to sleep. That's to keep the moisture in because Jason has no eyelids. Those were burned off.
In the morning, he removes the wrap and when the air hits his eyes, it stings like a swarm of bees. Jason rushes to apply saline solution and eye wash, but it takes him about an hour to prep his eyes to put the hard lenses back in.

Are Irregular Choice Shimmy slingbacks the worst shoes in history?
Are these the ugliest shoes in the whole world? Quite possibly. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw these monstrosities and surprise surprise, they're by Irregular Choice.
Quite obviously the most mental shoemakers in all the land, I begin to wonder whether anyone has ever bought a pair of their shoes at all when faced with these odd binbag/television interference style slingbacks. The material is awful, the heel is awful, that toe is making me actually wince. Just, why?? If you are among the chronically mental you can buy these for £59.99. But don't say I didn't warn you.

The Acadiana Cane Cutters got back on the winning track to celebrate Military Appreciation Night at Fabacher Field after beating the Texas Marshals 3-1.
It was a season-high crowd of 533 in attendance for the Cane Cutters to celebrate veterans and active servicemen.
The Cane Cutters got off to an early start when Taylor Walker (Jackson State Community College) scored Connor Barron (Southern Mississippi) from 3rd base on a sacrifice fly. Walker drove Barron in again in the 3rd inning on a groundout to give Acadiana a 2-0 advantage. The Marshals responded in the 5th inning with their only run of the game. In the bottom of the 8th inning, James Ziegler (Chandler-Gilbert Community College) hit a sacrifice fly to score Justin Holt (Nicholls State) who was the pinch runner for Walker following his stand up double to left field for the game's final tally.
Jake Brumfield (Pearl River Junior College) picked up his first win of the season with a brilliant performance, turning in 5 innings of one run ball and striking out 5 batters. Colton Lee (Pearl River Junior College) came in to pitch 3 scoreless innings in relief, and Scott Ashford (Ole Miss) recorded the final 3 outs of the game to record his 3rd save of the season.
With the victory, the Cane Cutters improve to 10-5 on the year. Acadiana hosts the Texas Marshals again Sunday evening on Father's Day. Kids will be able to play catch with their dad on the field before the game. Also, kids can enter an essay contest about why they feel that they have the best dad for a chance to win a prize. All essay entries should be emailed to Ryan West at email@example.com.

Highlights, really? If they are not put in by the sun, save the money and rather get a good bottle of champagne, strawberries and chocolate for the one you want to impress.
Our Tastes Change
The hairstyles that women like on men do change with age. For girls and younger women it is often a celebrity crush that defines her taste and many young men adjust to that, of course, to get some of the attention as well.
Justin Bieber
and the Jonas Brothers brought good business to the salons.
Individual lifestyle choices also have an influence on what women like. Punk styles, mohawks, surfer hair or dreadlocks the more expression, the better.
When women get older they will often just be happy if he has a hairstyle at all and regularly washes his hair. Irony aside, it is not important if he follows the latest fashion, as long as he found a style that suits him and that he is happy with of course there are a few exceptions, Mr. Donald Trump. Classy, dapper hairstyles with a touch of retro tend to be more of the focus again. Slicked back sides, longer top hair, a neat outline and perhaps with a debonaire touch, is what makes knees weak for the modern, sophisticated woman.
So, you men out there, just remember : no comb-overs, mullets, highlights and desperate pencil thin ponytails if you want to please the female population. Keep it clean, trimmed and authentic. Oh, did I mention perms? Go with the grey and if you do not have curls, then just get over it and stay away from those rollers. Please.

More testimony described threats against Hudson family
- Written by The Chicago Defender
- Published in Chicago
As the trial against William Balfour entered the second week, jurors heard more testimony of Balfour making repeated threats to kill the Hudson family.
Prosecutors said Balfour murdered Darnell Donerson (mother), Jason Hudson (brother) and Julian King (nephew) in October 2008 out of a jealous rage. Several witnesses said Balfour accused his then-wife Julia Hudson of cheating.
A juvenile witness said she heard Balfour tell his wife he'd kill her and her family if she called the police. Reginald Jones Sr., a neighbor of the Hudson's who often did repairs to the Hudson home and other small jobs for Jason Hudson, said Hudson was "like a son" to him. Jones, who also bought drugs from Hudson, was also fond of 7-year-old Julian King.
Jones recalled a time when he called Julia Hudson "baby" in Balfour's presence. The statement didn't sit well with Balfour, he said. According to Jones, Balfour said he didn't like "anyone calling my wife baby."

Guide to table
Outcome required
The outcome required by the Health and Disability Services Standards.
Found at audit
The issue that was found when the rest home was audited.
Action required
The action necessary to fix the issue, as decided by the auditor.
Risk level
Whether the required outcome was partially attained (PA) or unattained (UA), and what the risk level of the issue is.
The outcome is partially attained when:
- there is evidence that the rest home has the appropriate process in place, but not the required documentation
- when the rest home has the required documentation, but is unable to show that the process is being implemented.
The outcome is unattained when the rest home cannot show that they have the needed processes, systems or structures in place.
The risk level is determined by two things: how likely the issue is to happen and how serious the consequences of it happening would be.
The risk levels are:
- negligible – this issue requires no additional action or planning.
- low – this issue requires a negotiated plan in order to fix the issue within a specified and agreed time frame, such as one year.
- moderate – this issue requires a negotiated plan in order to fix the issue within a specific and agreed time frame, such as six months.
- high – this issue requires a negotiated plan in order to fix the issue within one month or as agreed between the service and auditor.
- critical – This issue requires immediate corrective action in order to fix the identified issue including documentation and sign off by the auditor within 24 hours to ensure consumer safety.

It's a start.
That was Stan Van Gundy's terse assessment of Sunday's 94-85 victory at Staples Center. The Magic raced out to a 26-point lead in the first quarter and looked to rediscover the spark that made them such a potent team early in the season. Then it dropped off. The sluggishness of a four-game losing streak and the near end of a four-game West Coast trip.
Something funny happened on the way to a collapse. Dwight Howard, plagued by foul trouble the entire second half, took over and settled things down. He scored 22 points and grabbed eight rebounds in just less than 25 minutes of play. With Chris Kaman out of the game, Howard simply had his way in the post as long as he was in.
Howard's ability to help buoy the Magic in the fourth quarter was a positive as the team fought off a hard-charging Clippers team, fighting uphill all game. What happened the rest of the second half remained a puzzle for Orlando. Bad habits appear to be setting in and upsetting patterns appear to be setting in.
The Magic came in to this game trying, as Van Gundy said, to "break" the Clippers early. They did that absolutely pulverizing Los Angeles in every facet. Before the Clippers knew what was going on, the Magic had a comfortable lead.
So, as often happens, cruise control set in and Los Angeles slowly crept back (very slowly and too slowly in this case). Orlando led 35-14 after the first quarter and 59-40 at the half.
What happened in the third quarter was confusing, frustrating and simply astounding. Orlando scored only 10 points, struggling to get in the paint or play with any aggression as Dwight Howard went to the bench early on with his fourth foul. The Clippers, led by the energetic and athletic Blake Griffin and a suddenly hot-shooting and attacking Eric Gordon. The two scored 55 points with Griffin collecting 27 points and 16 rebounds (seven offensive) and Gordon scoring 28.
Los Angeles got the lead into single digits several times in the fourth quarter, but never could finish the comeback and really put some worry into the Orlando faithful. No one could breathe a sight of relief until Rashard Lewis drained a three with about three minutes to play.
But there will be lots of deep breaths to come. The team went flat on both ends of the floor in the second half. Orlando did a good job fighting to make sure the losing streak ended tonight.
Needing to get to that point will surely cause a lot of consternation. But progress was made.
The Magic may have gone ice cold in the third quarter, but they only conceded 19 points. For the game, the Magic had a defensive rating of 98.8 and a 40.5 effective field goal percentage. The Clippers were not able to hit 3-pointers at a consistent rate and missed eight free throws (making 17). No one on Los Angeles aside from Gordon and Griffin were able to generate much offense. So on the defensive end, the Magic were able to buckle down and deliver a solid, if not consistent, effort.
Still, 35 points in a second half is not going to get the job done. Not anywhere near.
Orlando has laid an egg in the last three third quarters and that remains unsettling. It is hard to tell what is the exact cause. Orlando has some offensive issues to work out to keep the level of aggression and energy up. Coming out of the locker room that is not happening.
Tonight the Magic had it early — pushing the pace to get that 20-point lead and scoring 12 fast break points in the first quarter alone — and lost it late. Progress was made as Orlando gathered itself enough to fight off Los Angeles and snap the losing streak.

Life Energy drink is a moderately sweet citrus flavored energy drink that has an almost peach like flavor to the finish. In addition to that, it has a moderate amount of vitamin taste to it, but it doesn't burn the way many competing products do. That being said, Life's flavor is definitely pleasant. The packaging, however, is a bit of a mess. Specifically, we have two issues. First, the yin-yang design with the zipper looking thing (it's actually a string of "LIFE" logos) going down the middle is not an attractive design and we don't think that consumers will find it appealing either. Second, there's the point where the text at the bottom of the front panel intersects with the design, which, due to bad color choices, is completely unreadable. Overall, decent taste, but the packaging needs an overhaul.

Clouded in Smoke: Cigarettes Dull the Male Brain
Marc Gordon, MD
Everyone knows smoking is dumb. Now it looks like it makes you dumb, too: A recent study in the Archives of General Psychiatry suggests that male smokers of a certain age experience faster loss of brain power.
Researchers found that, compared to men who never smoked, middle-aged men smokers are likely to experience more rapid decline in certain mental abilities over a period of 10 years. Recent ex-smokers also showed greater cognitive loss, although researchers observed no lasting effect in men who had quit more than 10 years earlier. The study also suggests that the negative association between smoking and cognition, especially at advanced ages, may actually be underestimated because of smokers' higher risk of death and drop-out.
Yet how smoking results in decreased mental abilities remains unclear. In this trial, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, elevated cholesterol or impaired lung function did not account for the effect. While the study didn't show an association between smoking and cognitive decline in women, there was a smaller proportion of women (about 30 percent) in the trial group and a higher percentage of women had never smoked. The average pack-years of smoking and number of cigarettes smoked were higher in men than in women and heavy alcohol consumption was considerably higher in men (38.7 percent) as compared to women (23.3 percent) smokers.
This study presents not only more evidence that smoking is bad for you, but it also shows that mid-life smoking is a modifiable risk factor which, left unchecked, will rob your brain of about 10 years.

- this is a nice and useful poster Review by Rob Spinney
I love mine. It's beautifully done and I frequently refer to it when investigating unusual firearms. The cartridges' images are printed in actual size (i.e., the poster's image of the 30.06 cartridge is the exact same size as a real 30.06 cartridge). Fonts are clear and legible, even for old eyes like mine. I give these as gifts to friends.

Meals on Wheels: Our critics review Orlando's best food trucks
Mobile eateries have come a long way. We combed bazaars, pods and parking-lot lunch stops - and sampled more than a hundred dishes - to bring you critical reviews of some of Orlando's best food trucks
Published: May 3, 2012
The Crooked Spoon Gourmet Food Truck
To be one of the most lauded and popular trucks in town, the Crooked Spoon keeps a secret ingredient on hand: panache. Sure, the menu is mostly sandwiches and burgers, but add chunky stoneground honey mustard aioli, pineapple relish and candied bacon to a cheeseburger and you've got the 420 ($8.50), a savory treat unworthy of the moniker "food truck fare." Similarly, the six-cheese mac & cheese ($8.50) is zapped to life by hunks of red and yellow peppers and pushed over the top by aromatic seasoned breadcrumbs. The food moves fast and comes packaged for the walking patron, making the Spoon an easy must-try.
Eclectic Kitchen
One of the few trucks where vegans and vegetarians can get their fill, Eclectic Kitchen's southeast Asian-inspired cuisine is fresh and straightforward. Though they occupy a semipermanent spot at the corner of Ferncreek Avenue and Michigan Street, it's best to check ahead on Twitter to make sure they're serving lunch. If they are, count yourself in luck. Vegan spring rolls ($5) sing with the crunch of green papaya and silky marinated tofu; the cucumber relish accompanying grilled chicken satay ($8) is cooling and tempers the soy-heavy peanut sauce. Chicken-basil stir fry ($7) is a favorite, but it sells out quickly (consider yourself warned).
Fantastic Hummus
The best Middle Eastern food is a combination of fresh vegetables and lots of spice. Fantastic Hummus serves up of the classics - like spanakopita and shawarma, or, on their menu, "spinach pie" ($2) and "shwerma" ($6). The spinach pie was attractively served open-faced, like a quiche, and the shawarma meat was griddle-cooked and served on a warm pita with a tart yogurt sauce. (Best of all, each had loads of spice.) There are lots of options for vegetarians without having to resort to something fried - although the falafel looked excellent.
Feast Beast
Serving classic Brazilian comfort dishes, the Feast Beast's ferocious truck design doesn't upstage the fierceness of the food. The creamy shrimp stew Bobo de Camarao ($8) is a treat, dotted with tiny, tender shrimp, coconut milk, tropical palm oil and just the right amount of acid for balance, served over white rice. Don't miss their signature marinated, grilled chicken hearts ($5), which practically explode in your mouth like little flavor bombs. Feast Beast doesn't neglect the classics, either - Brasileiros are assured of getting their fill of feijoada, cod fritters and pão de queijo no matter what.

text: HISTORY OF FLIGHTOn August 5, 2005, at 1225 central daylight time, a Cessna 421C, N421KC, was destroyed when it impacted a commercial building and terrain while attempting a go-around about 0.5 miles northwest of the Palwaukee Municipal Airport (PWK), Wheeling, Illinois. The pilot and passenger received minor injuries. The Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight departed from PWK at 1220 and was en route to Mackinac Island, Michigan. Shortly after takeoff, the pilot reported a loss of power to the left engine and circled southeast of the airport to land on runway 34. The pilot attempted to land on runway 34, but executed a go-around. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident. No flight plan was filed. The pilot reported that he performed a preflight and departed to the northeast. At 600 feet above ground level (agl) he reduced power to 32.5 inches of manifold pressure (MAP) and 1,900 RPM. The pilot reported that an engine failed. He reported that he identified that the left engine failed and confirmed that the airplane was in a "clean" configuration. He contacted PWK tower and reported that he was returning to PWK for landing. The pilot reported that he was northeast of PWK when the engine lost power, and that the tower cleared him to land on runway 34. The pilot reported that while he was on the base leg for runway 34, he lowered the flaps to 30 degrees. He reported that he turned on to the final approach course, the airspeed was 115 knots and he planned to "cross the fence" at 100 knots. He lowered the landing gear and lowered the flaps to 45 degrees.The pilot reported, "Although the descent on final was not too steep, Gear Down, Flaps 45 degrees, and the throttle was in Idle position; I was unable to slow down the aircraft at all. I crossed the fence at 118 KIAS. Because of the excessive airspeed, I overshot the runway. At mid-field, when I realized that a safe landing can not be made, I push the Right throttle full forward and retracted the flaps to 15 degree and then to zero degree. I applied right rudder to maintain directional control and bank 5 degree to the Right. Right after retracting the flaps, I remember moving the landing gear to the UP position. (Although I realized later that the aircraft crashed with the gear in the down position.)"The pilot reported the when the airplane crossed the fence at the northwest side of the airport, he verified that the mixture, propeller, and throttle were fully forward, and the airplane was in the clean configuration. The pilot reported, "It felt like the RIGHT engine does not produce full power."The pilot reported that the airspeed continued to decrease and he was not able to gain any altitude. The airplane collided with the roof of a one story industrial building at 15-20 feet, and then impacted a landscape embankment and pine trees. The airplane came to rest on its belly. The pilot reported that he and the passenger evacuated the airplane immediately with only minor injuries.A witness reported that he observed the airplane attempt to land on runway 34 two times during the same approach. He observed the airplane first attempt to land near the intersection of runway 34 and runway 30, but the airplane ballooned up. The airplane attempted to land again but it ballooned up a second time. The witness heard the pilot add power and attempt a go-around. He reported that the airplane cleared the airport fence, but he lost sight of the airplane behind a tree line. He reported that the landing gear was down during the go-around. PERSONNEL INFORMATIONThe pilot held a private pilot's certificate with single-engine land, multiengine land, and airplane instrument ratings. The pilot reported that he had a total of 728 flight hours with 28 hours in make and model. He held a second-class medical certificate that was issued on September 22, 2004.The pilot purchased N421KC in May 2005.AIRCRAFT INFORMATIONThe airplane was a twin-engine Cessna 421C, serial number 421C-0028. The airplane seated 8 and had a maximum gross weight of 7,450 pounds. The engines were 375 horsepower Continental GTSIO-520-L engines. The last annual inspection was conducted on March 24, 2005. The airplane had flown about 35 hours since the last inspection and had a total time of about 6,870 hours.The engine maintenance logbooks indicated that the left and right engines were replaced with overhauled engines on July 17, 1998. As part of the engine overhauls, both engines had the starter adapter shaft gear and crankshaft gear inspection complied with per the Teledyne Continental Motors (TCM) Service Bulletin CSB94-4 along with the installation of the Service Kit EQ6642. The TCM Service Bulletin CSB94-4 was first issued on June 13, 1994, and the CSB94-4D was reissued as a Mandatory Service Bulletin, MSB94-4E. The latest revision of the Service Bulletin was Mandatory Service Bulletin MSB94-4F, issued on July 5, 2005.CSB94-4D states the following in GENERAL INFORMATION: "Continued operation of the GTSIO-520 and GIO-550 series engines with starter adapter viscous dampers that have been overheated can lead to distress and possible failure of the starter adapter shaft gear and crankshaft teeth." A "WARNING" in the Service Bulletin states:"Compliance with this bulletin is required to prevent possible failure of the starter adapter shaft gear and/or crankshaft gear which can result in metal contamination and/or engine failure."To comply with the Service Bulletin, the following procedures were required to be followed:1. Unscheduled maintenance inspection due to rough engine operation (Part 1). 2. At every 100 hour or annual inspection (which ever occurs first) perform the inspections detailed in Part 2, "STARTER ADAPTER VISCOUS DAMPER and SHAFTGEAR BACKLASH INSPECTION".3. Starter adapters with less than 400 hours total time in service must be inspected in accordance with the "VISUAL INSPECTION PROCEDURE" set forth in Part 3 of this bulletin upon the accumulation of 400 hours total time in service and every 400 hours time in service thereafter.4. Starter adapters with more than 400 hours total time in service must be inspected in accordance with the "VISUAL INSPECTION PROCEDURES" set forth in Part 3 of this bulletin within the next 25 hours of operation and every 400 hours thereafter.5. If needle bearing P/N 537721 is installed in the crankcase, it must be removed and replaced with the bushing P/N 654472. Refer to Part 3, paragraph 9 and also Part 4 on page 10 for installation instruction. Order bushing P/N 654472 separately, if required.6. If service kit P/N EQ 6642R has not been installed prior to engine overhaul it must be installed at the next engine overhaul or at the time of starter adapter replacement, whichever occurs first. Refer to the latest revision of TCM SB97-6 or mandatory replacement parts. Refer to Part 5 for instructions for installing service kit EQ 6642R.NOTE: Both the crankshaft gear and the starter adapter assembly, included in EQ 6642R, must be replaced at the same time if the tooth wear of either the crankshaft gear or the starter adapter shaft gear is unacceptable in accordance with this bulletin.The left and right engine logbooks indicated that neither the TCM Service Bulletin CSB94-4 nor Mandatory Service Bulletin CSB94-4E had been complied with since the engines had been overhauled on July 17, 1998. The engines had accumulated about 1,272 hours since the last overhaul. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2005-20-04 on November 1, 2005. The AD stated, "We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of the starter adapter assembly and or crankshaft gear, resulting in failure of the engine and possible forced landing." The AD further stated, "You must use TCM Mandatory Service Bulletin No. MSB94-4F, dated July 5, 2005, to perform the actions required by this AD." METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONSThe observed weather at PWK at 1253 was: Winds 070 degrees at 9 knots, sky clear, visibility 10 statute miles, temperature 26 degrees Celsius, dew point 16 degrees Celsius, altimeter 30.24 inches of mercury.WRECKAGE AND IMPACT INFORMATIONThe airplane impacted a one-story industrial building, and then impacted a landscape embankment and pine trees. The wreckage path was about 114 feet in length on a westerly heading. The location of the main wreckage was coordinates 42 degrees 7 minutes 42 seconds north latitude, 087 degrees 54 minutes 52 seconds west longitude. The airplane remained upright and there was no ground fire. The main landing gear and nose landing gear were found separated from the fuselage. The left wing was partially separated from the fuselage near the wing root. The left and right wing fuel tanks were full of fuel. The landing gear handle was in the down position. The flap lever and indicator were about 1/4 down. The split flaps were found extended about 15 degrees. The left propeller was found in the feathered position. The right propeller blades exhibited leading edge gouges and chordwise scratching. The on-site inspection of the right engine revealed that the crankshaft rotated and drive train continuity was confirmed. All cylinders exhibited thumb compression. The on-site inspection of the left engine revealed that the idler gear support pin had separated from the engine and was found lying in the engine accessory section. The two studs that held the idler gear support pin to the crankcase were sheared off. The left and right engines were shipped to the engine manufacturer for teardown inspections. TESTS AND RESEARCH INFORMATIONThe left and right engines were sent to Teledyne Continental Motors (TCM) for engine teardowns on October 4, 2005, with the National Transportation Safety Board investigator-in-charge (IIC) providing oversight. The inspection of the left engine revealed that the idler gear pin was not in place and the support studs were fractured through at the aft crankcase threaded bores. The fractured studs, retaining nuts, and washers were not found on site and were not returned with the engine. The left engine starter adapter shaftgear teeth were all missing and exhibited mechanical damage. The shaftgear teeth were recovered from the oil sump and were examined by the TCM metallurgical laboratory. The TCM metallurgical report indicated that the intact fracture surfaces exhibited overload texture. The fracture surfaces of the other shaftgear teeth appeared crushed and smeared. The inspection revealed that six teeth were missing from the left engine crankshaft gear. The fractures exhibited overload texture at the bottom edge and were smeared at the top edges. The camshaft gear had numerous teeth missing whose fractures exhibited overload texture. The inboard bearing support for the idler gear was cracked. The TCM metallurgical report stated: "The inboard bearing support for the idler gear was found cracked. The idler gear meshes with the crankshaft gear and is located directly above the crank gear." It further stated, "This type of crankcase damage can occur if a broken tooth interferes with the mesh between the crankshaft and idler gear."The left engine viscous damper was mounted on the TCM production test fixture to measure the damping time. The unit was tested six times and the damping time averaged 8.934 seconds. Damping time intervals for new units are 1.5 - 3.125 seconds. The damper was opened to examine the condition of the internal components. The viscous medium present was dried-out, cracked, and non-uniform in thickness. An exemplar viscous damper unit was opened and the silicone medium was clear in color and had a consistency like molasses. The inspection of the right engine revealed that the starter adapter shaftgear teeth were worn and exhibited unacceptable wear in accordance with the latest revision of the TCM Service Bulletin 94-4. The right engine viscous damper was mounted on the TCM production test fixture to measure the damping time. The unit was tested six times and the damping time averaged 8.419 seconds. The damper was opened to examine the condition of the internal components. The viscous medium present was dried-out, cracked, and non-uniform in thickness. The inspection of the right engine did not reveal any anomalies that would have prevented normal operation and production of rated horsepower. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The Cessna 421C Pilot's Operating Handbook (POH) "Rate-of-Climb One Engine Inoperative" chart provides a means of determining what rate-of-climb can be expected under various conditions. Using the current weather conditions and approximate weight of the airplane on the accident flight, the chart indicated that about a 450 foot rate-of-climb could be expected if the landing gear were in the UP position, the wing flaps in the UP position, and the propeller feathered. The chart also indicated that a 350-foot penalty would be subtracted from the rate-of-climb if the landing gear were in the DOWN position, and additionally, a 200-foot penalty would be subtracted from the rate-of-climb if the flaps were in the 15-degree DOWN position. On December 2, 2004, a Cessna 421B, N421SD, was involved in a fatal accident near Apison, Tennessee. The NTSB investigation number was ATL05FA032. A factor in that accident was a partial failure of the left engine starter adapter due to overload. The FAA, Cessna Aircraft Company, and Teledyne Continental Motors were parties to the investigation.The aircraft wreckage was released to Fries Automotive Services, Wheeling, Illinois.

text: On May 8, 1994, at 1135 Pacific daylight time, a Schweizer G- 164B, N3629E, collided with a canal ditch near Gridley, California, during a forced landing attempt. The forced landing was precipitated by a loss of engine power. The aircraft was operated by Williams AG Service, Inc., of Biggs, California, and was engaged in aerial application operations. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time and no flight plan was filed for the operation. The aircraft incurred substantial damage. The certificated commercial pilot, the sole occupant, was not injured. The flight originated from the Jones AG airstrip at Biggs about 1115 hours on the day of the accident.In a telephone interview, the owner of Williams AG Service, Inc., stated that the pilot was spraying seeds in a farm field when the engine failed. The pilot attempted to land in a nearby field and collided with a canal ditch. Postaccident examination of the engine revealed a crack in the number 8 cylinder head from one spark plug hole to the other spark plug hole.

100% Grassfed Certified Organic Beef From Small Family Farm in Orange County New York
- Categories: Organic meat / seafood
Including options
- Address: 28 Keziah Lane Map
- City, State: Westtown, New York Country: United States Postal Code: 10998

- Email: Kezialain Farm Contact: Martha Lain
- Description:
We sell 100% grass fed, certified organic beef raised on Kezialain Farm – the farm which has been home to our family since 1775.
We believe that the healthiest meat comes from cattle that are both grass-fed and organic. Ours only eat the pasture and grasses they were meant to eat. Because their bodies aren't stressed by grain, the cattle are healthier and the meat is leaner, has more good fats and nutrients, and tastes better.
The meat is also healthier because the cattle are organic. They aren't given growth hormones, antibiotics or other harmful medications, or sprayed with pesticides. They eat the native grasses and plants that grow naturally on the farm, not from GMO seeds. Their food has no herbicides, the soil is fertilized naturally, not by petroleum based fertilizers.
Our farm is sustainable. We have a small herd because we don't want to stress the farm's land and water; the cattle are fed only what we raise on the farm.
The meat is processed at a small USDA organic facility where it is aged from 10 to 14 days, vacuum sealed and frozen as soon as it is cut. We sell the meat as sides, quarters and eighths, also in 20 mixed packs of steaks, roasts and ground beef, and in 10 and 20 lb. packs of ground beef only. It is sold at the farm; we don't ship meat.
Meat usually has to be pre-ordered, although at times we have some meat available. We advise people to contact us well in advance to get the meat when you would like it. More information is at www.kezialain.com. Email firstname.lastname@example.com, call 845-683-1363 or 845-726-4409.

Six-year-old Catherine Hubbard had a natural ability to connect with and care for animals. She designed her own business cards and appointed herself head of "Catherine's Animal Shelter" with the title "Care Taker." On December 14, 2012, Catherine was among 20 children killed during a shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. Last November, we honored Catherine with the ASPCA Tommy P. Monahan Kid of the Year award at our annual Humane Awards Luncheon.
We're happy to share some exciting news: Connecticut's governor is poised to sign a bill that would transfer 34 acres of state land to the Catherine Violet Hubbard Foundation to be utilized as an animal sanctuary.
"We had asked in lieu of flowers that people send donations to The Animal Center," says Jenny Hubbard, Catherine's Mom. "There was an overwhelming response— within the course of a few weeks, they had received donations in Catherine's memory totaling over $100,000. The Animal Center had been working to build an animal sanctuary, so we put all of our energy into making a foundation that could financially support the sanctuary for years to come."
Plans for the Catherine Violet Hubbard Animal Sanctuary include indoor and outdoor facilities, which will provide a caring environment for dogs, cats, farm animals and native wildlife. The Animal Center will also continue to run its existing animal foster program.
"The Sanctuary will have on-site canine and feline communities," Jenny says. "We are also going to do farm animal refuge—we will give respite to cows, sheep and chickens that might be neglected or abused, or need a home because a farm is closed due to financial reasons. In the long term, we hope to do native wildlife refuge and release for injured animals such as turtles or deer."
Jenny notes that the Sanctuary's main building will contain a visitor center, as well as a veterinary clinic. She says they plan to leave much of the Sanctuary's land as-is, incorporating the outdoor animal spaces into existing woodlands and meadows.
Are you in the Connecticut area? Three teenage siblings will host the Shapiro Family Classical Music Concert on Saturday, June 14 at 5:00 P.M. at Trinity Episcopal Church, 651 Pequot Ave. in Southport, Connecticut. Proceeds from the concert will benefit the Sanctuary.
Stay tuned for more details to come as the Sanctuary plans progress. We can't wait to see countless animals receive care as a result of Catherine's inspirational dedication to animals in need.
We're so glad you're here! ASPCA Parents is a site from the ASPCA, America's oldest animal welfare organization. It's a place for families with both two-legged and four-legged kids.
We created this site to be a resource for folks who want to instill a love of animals in their kids—after all, we know that in just a few short years, those kids will be the strongest voices for animals we have. At the same time, we also want to provide some ideas for what to do on a rainy day with your animal-loving kids, as well as resources from ASPCA experts on the tough stuff, like talking to your kids about animal cruelty.
With that in mind, we'll be sharing lots of stories about kids and pets, pet-care tips, and activities for kids. We'll also be hosting events, contests and lots more. Got an idea for what you'd like to see here? We'd love to hear it. Get in touch via email at [email protected]. Thanks for stopping by!
