JVC's versatile GY-HM710U ProHD Compact Shoulder Camcorder with Canon 14x Lens is a professional ENG camera that uses the same 3x 1/3" CCD sensors and compact shoulder-mount form factor as the GY-HM790. Designed for professional field-recording applications such as newsgathering, event videography, documentary filmmaking, and digital cinema, the GY-HM710 comes equipped with a Canon 14x zoom and is capable of capturing full-HD 1080i/p video as native MP4 or MOV files. Standard-definition AVI and MOV file formats (480i) can also be directly recorded for legacy SD applications. All this makes the camera tops in its ability to output ready-to-edit files for such NLEs as Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere.

If you don't particularly need studio-control options, the HM710 is an excellent, economical camcorder choice that includes all the features you've come to expect from a professional camera. There are XLR inputs with manual control, HD/SD-SDI output for monitoring or recording to an external unit, and 1920 x 1080 recording at 24p, 30p, and 60i to dual hot-swappable SDHC cards (media sold separately).

In addition, the ProHD camcorder provides some nice surprises. The supplied interchangeable lens is a high-definition Canon 14x zoom that features minimal chromatic aberration and starts at 4.4mm (equivalent to 32mm in the 35mm world) on the wide end. The camera features a generous 20-second pre-record cache, preventing missed shots – this is especially helpful for projects that thrive on spontaneity, such as special events and documentaries. Its 35 Mb/s maximum bit rate and 4:2:2 HD-SDI output produce files and signals that can withstand postproduction processes well. And with the GY-HM710's convenient native file recording options, your shoot-to-edit workflow couldn't be simpler.

Higher HD Picture Quality via JVC's Advanced Technologies
The GY-HM710 utilizes three precisely aligned 1/3" progressive-scan full-HD CCDs – one each for red, green, and blue primary color – and outputs full resolution in 1920 x 1080, both interlace and progressive. JVC's advanced ProHD capture technology incorporates a new patent-pending Adaptive Pixel Correlation Technique (APCT), and combined with TRIPLEX Offset technology it delivers exceptional resolving power, comparable to cameras with larger image sensors. The highly efficient ProHD form of H-V pixel shift, where the Blue pixels' sensor array is shifted 1/2 pixel horizontally, while the Red pixels' sensor array is shifted 1/2 pixel vertically (both referenced to the Green array), enables recovery of additional luminance detail between the photosites of each pixel. By applying the Adaptive Pixel Correlation Technique, the camera achieves a remarkable improvement in image texture and resolving power in the 1080i/p modes. The TRIPLEX/APCT system differentiates between "object directions" in high-frequency areas of the image, to the extent that it's vertical, horizontal, diagonal (left) or diagonal (right), and then applies pixel compensation for lost pixels in high-frequency areas. Furthermore, using a global shutter, the design minimizes wobbling during quick pans and fixed pattern noise in low-light conditions, contributing to a more stable image
Upgraded 35 Mb/s MPEG-2 Encoder
Drawing on its long experience of developing dedicated encoders for the broadcasting industry, JVC has equipped the GY-HM710U with a powerful MPEG-2 encoder capable of compressing full 1920 x 1080 HD video at up to 35 Mb/s. The result is the pristine picture quality that professional users demand, from a surprisingly compact and lightweight shoulder-mount camcorder. MPEG-2 long GOP is the most widely accepted broadcast-standard HD compression, supported by all popular editing systems and broadcast servers. In HQ mode, the encoder operates with a variable bit rate average of 35 Mb/s. The SP mode records at a constant bit rate of 25 Mb/s to ensure compatibility with a wide range of equipment.

The GY-HM710 supports major signal formats including 1920 x 1080, 1440 x 1080, and 720 x 480

Standard Definition Recording Capability
Backwards compatibility with SD is an oft-overlooked feature that's a necessity for a lot of professionals. The GY-HM710U, in addition to its capability as an HD recorder, offers standard-def recording for maximum flexibility. Recording in SD provides a time-saving alternative to down-conversion of HD material for SD broadcasts, which is still an industry standard in many countries worldwide. This feature offers a fundamental advantage for professionals with time-sensitive SD workflows
High-Performance Canon HD lens
The GY-HM710U includes a detachable 14x Canon KT14x4.4KRSJ HD lens that's based on the superb optics found in more expensive HD lenses. Its superior MTF provides higher resolution than typical "stock" lenses. The lens has improved lateral and longitudinal chromatic aberration characteristics and is ideal for full 1920 x 1080 imaging. Canon's internal focusing system minimizes "breathing" compared with typical focusing systems. Internal focus also makes possible a more efficient light-blocking lens hood. ENG shooters will be pleased with its wider angle and consistent brightness from 4.4mm (wide) to 62mm (telephoto) with no F-drop. Operation is the same as with all professional lenses, with mechanical control of focus, and servo or manual control of zoom and aperture.

In addition to the GY-HM710's standard detachable 14x Canon lens, numerous lens options are available from JVC including the 13xTh13x3.5BRMU wide-angle Fujinon zoom lens, a new 17x XT17sx45BRMK1 Fujinon zoom lens, an 18x HTs18X4.2BRM Fujinon zoom lens, a 20x KT20X5BKRS Canon zoom lens, and adapters that allow 1/2" and 2/3" bayonet-mount lenses to be used. Add the HZ-CA13U film lens mount adapter to the 1/3" bayonet mount to enable mounting of 16mm film camera lenses to the GY-HM710, greatly expanding production lens options. The camera features an "image flip" function that corrects for the inverted image produced by prime lenses

SDHC Memory Card Recording
Dual hot-swappable cards means the recording never has to end. The GY-HM710 records on widely available SDHC Class 6 or Class 10 memory cards, presently available in capacities up to 32 GB. The camera provides two memory card slots, for a total of up to 64 GB of on-board storage – enough for hours of continuous HD recording. In relay mode, the camera automatically begins recording on the second card when the first card fills up. When the second card fills up, the camera will revert to recording to the first card slot, allowing for virtually unlimited recording lengths. Separate flip-open covers protect card slots from dust, moisture, and they open separately for each card. If a cover is opened while the card is being recorded to, a warning message is displayed on the VF/LCD.

SDHC cards are economical, highly reliable, and make possible a recording system that consumes up to 20% less power than tape- or HDD-based systems. The per-minute cost of SDHC memory is comparable to professional video tape. Moreover, SDHC media is the first practical solid-state solution for a physical archive

Native File Recording
The GY-HM710 incorporates JVC's Native File Recording technology that stores video in the ready-to-edit file formats used by Apple's Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere, and other popular nonlinear editing systems. The HD and SD ".mov" files created in the camera can be easily dragged onto Final Cut Pro's or Premiere's timeline or clip bin without conversion or rewrapping, saving time while keeping the recorded material first-generation. There is no need to use an intermediate codec.

For users of other NLE systems, including solutions from Avid, Canopus, and Vegas, the GY-HM710U supports the MP4 file format, which can be edited without re-encoding. HDV-compatible M2T files can also be created from these MP4 files using the ProHD Clip Manager. 4:2:2 uncompressed digital video is provided via the HD-SDI output, for recording onto an external recorder.

For standard-definition applications, in addition to MOV format files, the GY-HM710 creates popular type-2 AVI files that import easily into most current and legacy NLE systems 1

Pre Rec (Retro Cache) Start Mode – No More Missed Shots!
In this mode, the GY-HM710 continuously records up to 20 seconds in cache memory. When the trigger is pressed, the cache recording is appended to the live signal, giving the shooter a head start in getting the shot. This feature is invaluable in capturing breaking events for which the shot would be lost before a traditional camera could begin recording. When Pre Rec is activated, a "P" is displayed in the viewfinder and on the LCD monitor
Continuous Clip Mode
In this mode, the GY-HM710 creates a single-clip file from multiple trigger presses. This is ideal when "in-camera editing" is preferred. The complete-shot sequence is instantly available as a single clip. When recording in the Continuous Clip Mode, timecode can be either free run or in the REC mode
JVC ProHD Clip Manager
The ProHD Clip Manager for both Mac and Windows makes it easy to manage MP4 clips on the GY-HM710U's memory cards from your computer. With a few clicks of the mouse you can copy, move or delete clips, preview clip content, as well as view and edit clip metadata. A thumbnail view of all the clips in the current folder shows the content of each clip at a glance. Use the viewer to watch the whole clip, or change the clip's index frame used for the thumbnail. You can also manage folders to keep your clips organized, and check the remaining free space on a card. The latest version of ProHD Clip Manager offers an even greater level of NLE compatibility by enabling MP4 files to be converted to M2T, widely supported by NLEs
ProHD Log and Transfer Plug-In
The ProHD Log and Transfer plug-in is a software module for Apple's Final Cut Pro that lets you drop MP4 files recorded on the GY-HM710U into the clip bin of Final Cut Pro. With the plug-in installed, you can view thumbnails of the MP4 files on a memory card from the Log and Transfer screen of Final Cut Pro. Simply drag and drop the thumbnails into the bin to automatically convert the clips to QuickTime, ready for use
Compact Shoulder Form Factor
Weighing only 8.2 lb including lens, viewfinder, microphone and battery (battery sold separately, the GY-HM710 rests comfortably on the right shoulder, providing stable, steady shots. Unlike some oversized handheld models, the GY-HM710 becomes part of the shooter – similar larger cameras, but without the fatigue associated with them. The handle has been redesigned for better carrying balance, and to accommodate wearing gloves in cold weather
High-Resolution LCoS Viewfinder
The GY-HM710 is equipped with a new, rugged high-resolution viewfinder based on a new 0.45", 1.22 million-pixel Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS) panel (852 x 480 x 3). This new all-digital viewfinder displays images with more than 5x the resolution of typical color viewfinders. Its sturdy, reinforced die-cast aluminum chassis and LED light source ensure years of trouble-free operation. A serial digital interface means there's no quality loss, even with razor-sharp graphic overlays. The viewfinder's native aspect ratio is 16:9. Safe area indications are available for popular aspect ratios, including 2.35:1. In record mode, audio level indications, a battery "fuel gauge" (displays when using digital batteries), and estimated time remaining for each memory card are displayed in the viewfinder. The Zebra function now offers two patterns (selectable)
Jumbo-Size 4.3" Flip-Out LCD Panel
Complementing the new high-resolution viewfinder is a large LCD flip-out monitor that can be used in recording, playback, clip management, and menu operation. The 4.3" 800 x 480 WVGA LCD offers a 16:9 aspect ratio and provides a wide array of monitoring and setup indications. It is specially designed to reduce surface reflections and glare to maintain a clear, visible, bright view during outdoor recording. Menu items are easily selected using user-friendly cross keys for settings.

Cross-key control makes menu navigation a breeze. The interface is very intuitive, with up-down/left-right buttons on the same control disc. Selections are made by pressing the center of the disc. When in the camera mode, a blue LED lamp outlines the disc. When in the media playback/management mode, the color changes to green. A Red display indicates that the camera is in USB or IEEE 1394 (slave) mode. (The LED can be turned off via a menu choice.)

Extensive image customization is available. Thanks to the oversize monitor screen, the user sees changes to the image as the setting is being made, eliminating guesswork. Individual user settings are stored on an SDHC card and may be restored to any GY-HM710, GY-HM750, GY-HM790, or GY-HM700 camera

Built-In Clip View & Management Functions
When the camera is switched to playback mode, a clip viewer appears on the large LCD monitor and in the VF. (This signal may also be output through the HD/SD-SDI connector.) Clips are identified by timecode and with a user-defined filename that has numeric increments. Detailed information is displayed about each clip, including recording format, resolution, and timecode start/stop, user bits, and creation date/time. Clips can be protected from accidental deletion or deleted if no longer needed. Damaged clips (due to improper eject, etc.) may be repaired with the "restore file" function. Though no special formatting is required, memory cards can be re-initialized in the GY-HM710 to an empty state even while the other card is recording.

The Quick Review function is available in record-pause mode. It allows the videographer to play back the first 5 seconds or the last 5 seconds of each clip, or the entire clip. After playback, the last image is retained (frozen) until the menu is reactivated. If, during Quick Review, the record trigger is pressed, playback stops and recording begins immediately

Spot Exposure Meter
When shooting very high-contrast scenes, the Spot Meter can be a very useful tool, letting the videographer monitor the dynamic range of an image on the LCD/VF and adjust the exposure of an object in the frame. There are four modes of spot metering: Max/Min, Max, Min, and Manual. In the Max/Min mode, the highest and lowest levels of the image are identified with color markers, red (high) and white (low), along with the video level (before knee & gamma). The same values can be obtained individually with the Max and Min settings. Manual lets the videographer set the portion of the image to monitor. For example, for a scene with varied illumination, the videographer may wish to meter an individual's face, and set the exposure accordingly. As the scene changes, the exposure can be corrected precisely to the desired subject
Uncompressed Audio Recording with Full Manual Control
The GY-HM710U captures audio with the same uncompromising quality as it does video. Two-channel 16-bit/48 kHz uncompressed linear PCM (linear pulse code modulated) audio channels are recorded via the detachable shotgun microphone, or via a pair of balanced XLR connectors. Versatile input switching and independent channel assignment allow both mic and line-level sources (such as wireless receivers) to be connected, and phantom power is available on each XLR connector independently. Audio recording levels are controlled automatically or manually, with an audio level meter in the viewfinder and LCD monitor for easy monitoring
Patented Focus Assist
Achieving exact focus with HD signals is critical. JVC's Focus Assist turns focusing into a fast, easy, and accurate process. When Focus Assist is activated, the picture in the viewfinder becomes monochrome and all objects which are in focus take on a colored edge. Focus Assist works equally in the viewfinder as well as on the LCD panel. The Focus Assist function can be invoked by pressing the dedicated button on the control panel, or assigned to the RETURN button on the lens
HD/SD-SDI, IEEE 1394 (FireWire) Output
For live broadcast applications, or for monitoring, the GY-HM710 provides an uncompressed, 4:2:2 full-HD or downconverted SD signal via its HD/SD-SDI connector. The signal can come from either the camera or from memory playback. When 23.98p modes are selected, it will contain Varicam flags (1080p24 mode only) to facilitate postproduction. The HD/SD-SDI output is via a BNC connector and includes embedded uncompressed audio. It is also possible to output the menus and clip viewer via the HD/SD-SDI output.

The IEEE 1394 (FireWire) output is via a 4-pin connector and provides SD or HD, depending on mode. The audio output is HDV-compliant in HD mode and DV-compliant in SD mode

Component or Composite Video Output (Selectable)
Component HD signals can be output via the BNC connectors on the camera. The signal will always be in the format being captured or played back. (Cross-converting to another format is not possible.) Downconverted composite signals can be especially useful when providing an SD feed for a live webcast while simultaneously recording HD. The composite output can also be provided when playing back recorded high definition material
DV/HDV Output via FireWire
DV signals are available through the 4-pin IEEE 1394 (FireWire) connector when the camera is recording or live in the SD (DV) mode, or when playing back an SD recording. These signals can be recorded on most FireWire recorders and will be in the NTSC mode. The IEEE 1394 connector also outputs an HDV-compatible transport stream when the camera is live or recording in SP (25 Mb/s) mode. No signal is available when playing back an HD recording
VF-HP790 LCD Studio Viewfinder
The VF-HP790 (sold separately) is an 8.4" XGA (1024 x 768 pixels) LCD studio viewfinder designed to work with the GY-HM790, GY-HM750, GY-HM710, or the GY-HM700. Designed to mount to the camera using the optional SA-K790 bracket, it is equipped with a large tally indicator and a screen hood. A fully digital interface provides all of the camera's viewfinder indications: safety markers, focus assist, plus power and clip management. The VF-HP790 is also provided with an HD-SDI input for monitoring an external signal from the HM710
Remote Camera Control Connector
A 6-pin remote connector provides a through-the-lens (TTL) interface to an optional JVC RM-LP25U or RM-LP55U control unit (both sold separately). Extensive control options are available, including shading, paint, iris, gamma level, knee, gain, shutter, and black level. Functions vary between the two units

Proverbs 8 (New Living Translation)

View In My Bible
1 Listen as wisdom calls out! Hear as understanding raises her voice! 2 She stands on the hilltop and at the crossroads. 3 At the entrance to the city, at the city gates, she cries aloud, 4 "I call to you, to all of you! I am raising my voice to all people. 5 How naive you are! Let me give you common sense. O foolish ones, let me give you understanding. 6 Listen to me! For I have excellent things to tell you. Everything I say is right, 7 for I speak the truth and hate every kind of deception. 8 My advice is wholesome and good. There is nothing crooked or twisted in it. 9 My words are plain to anyone with understanding, clear to those who want to learn." 10 "Choose my instruction rather than silver, and knowledge over pure gold. 11 For wisdom is far more valuable than rubies. Nothing you desire can be compared with it." 12 "I, Wisdom, live together with good judgment. I know where to discover knowledge and discernment. 13 All who fear the LORD will hate evil. That is why I hate pride, arrogance, corruption, and perverted speech. 14 Good advice and success belong to me. Insight and strength are mine. 15 Because of me, kings reign, and rulers make just laws. 16 Rulers lead with my help, and nobles make righteous judgments." 17 "I love all who love me. Those who search for me will surely find me. 18 Unending riches, honor, wealth, and justice are mine to distribute. 19 My gifts are better than the purest gold, my wages better than sterling silver! 20 I walk in righteousness, in paths of justice. 21 Those who love me inherit wealth, for I fill their treasuries." 22 "The LORD formed me from the beginning, before he created anything else. 23 I was appointed in ages past, at the very first, before the earth began. 24 I was born before the oceans were created, before the springs bubbled forth their waters. 25 Before the mountains and the hills were formed, I was born -- 26 before he had made the earth and fields and the first handfuls of soil." 27 "I was there when he established the heavens, when he drew the horizon on the oceans. 28 I was there when he set the clouds above, when he established the deep fountains of the earth. 29 I was there when he set the limits of the seas, so they would not spread beyond their boundaries. And when he marked off the earth's foundations, 30 I was the architect at his side. I was his constant delight, rejoicing always in his presence. 31 And how happy I was with what he created -- his wide world and all the human family!" 32 "And so, my children, a listen to me, for happy are all who follow my ways. 33 Listen to my counsel and be wise. Don't ignore it." 34 "Happy are those who listen to me, watching for me daily at my gates, waiting for me outside my home! 35 For whoever finds me finds life and wins approval from the LORD. 36 But those who miss me have injured themselves. All who hate me love death."

Music Photos of the Year 2012
September 21: Rihanna performs onstage during the 2012 iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas.

With her new album, "Unapologetic," on the way, Rihanna was all smiles in a Facebook Live chat with "Watch What Happens Live" host Andy Cohen on Thursday night.

Rihanna's 'Diamonds' Video: Watch | Rihanna Plots 7-Day '777' Tour

Taking questions from Cohen and those offered by her Facebook fans, the social media superstar -- she's Facebook's most popular person, with her Rihanna Navy numbering over 62 million -- discussed her new album, her celebrity circle and her relationship with ex Chris Brown.

Though rumors have reconnected the pair, who split after Brown assaulted her in 2009, she told Cohen they're "not together" -- but he's "dope."

The question came in a "spill the tea" segment where Cohen quizzed her for quick answers on people in her orbit: Kanye West is a "genius"; Jay-Z, "even more genius"; Beyonce, "gorgeous"; Mariah Carey, "her voice is an instrument, unreal"; Mary J. Blige, "power"; Lady Gaga, "crazy, but I love that"; Madonna, an early influence, "queen"; Eminem, "the shit"; and Nicki Minaj? "Ass."

However, Rihanna says making "Unapologetic" kept her focused strictly on the studio.

"I was the worst friend," she said. "I wouldn't reply to my friends' texts, I had no service in the studio. I worked day and night and it was hard for me to pay attention to frivolous stuff like the blogs."

The album is due Nov. 19, but she'll preview it with a listening party at Jay-Z's 40/40 Club that'll benefit the Daily News Hurricane Relief Fund. She also announced a $100,000 donation to the Food Bank for New York that she'll be making on Friday.

"It's really difficult to see something so tragic going on and not be able to do anything about it," she said.

Bob Seger Mixes Classics with New Material at Tour Opener
Bob Seger Mixes Classics with New Material at Tour Opener

With a brand new album still in progress, Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band are making due with that old time rock 'n' roll on their spring tour -- which was just fine with the 8,200 fans who attended opening night Saturday (Mar. 26) at the sold-out Huntington Center in Toledo, Ohio.

Starting the two-month trek just over four years to the day his last tour -- supporting 2006's "Face the Promise" album -- wrapped, Seger and company delivered an energetic and exhaustive 25-song, two-hour and 15-minute show that began with the anthemic travelogue "Roll Me Away" and spanned his career with a few surprises stirred into the usual mix of favorites. After all, the 65-year-old Rock and Roll Hall of Famer is one of those rarefied performers who has built a large canon of hits -- "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man," "Old Time Rock and Roll," "We've Got Tonight," "Turn the Page," "Katmandu," "Against the Wind," "Hollywood Nights," "Night Moves" -- that absolutely have to be played or he won't get out of the building alive.

Bob Seger Readies North American Tour, Talks New Album

Those were all there, but Seger also used the tour opener for the live debut of "Downtown Train," his version of the Tom Waits song that he recently released as an appetizer for the new album, and "Gets Ya Pumpin' " from the 2010 compilation "Early Seger Vol. 1." He also brought out the "Against the Wind" album track "Good For Me," "Night Moves' " "Come to Poppa" and his powerhouse rendition of Ike & Tina Turner's "Nutbush City Limits" as well as "Her Strut," which Seger, in a rare misstep, introduced as being from 1978's "Stranger in Town" when it's actually on "Against the Wind."

Those kinds of opening night foibles were few and far between, however, as Seger and the Silver Bullets appeared honed and well-rehearsed, bolstering the tight arrangements with solos by saxophonist Alto Reed, keyboardist Craig Frost and guitarist Mark Chatfield and, on several songs, muscular support from the four-piece Motor City Horns. The Isley Brothers' "It's Your Thing" gave Seger's three backup vocalists the spotlight while he took a break, and performances of Otis Clay's "Tryin' to Live My Life Without You," Chuck Berry's "C'est La Vie," "Sunspot Baby," "Horizontal Bop" and the fail-safe coupling of "Travelin' Man" and "Beautiful Loser" remained reliable crowd-pleasers.

And when he inserted the line "sweet 16 turns 65" in the show-closing "Rock and Roll Never Forgets," Seger sounded gobsmacked that he's still rocking at retirement age -- but certainly not complaining about it.

The Seger tour continues Tuesday in Saginaw, Mich., and is currently slated to wrap on May 21 at the Palace of Auburn Hills in suburban Detroit. Seger plans to return to work on the album during the summer and told that he's also considering a fall tour "if we have fun" on the current outing.

Bob Seger's opening night set list included:

Roll Me Away
Tryin' To Live My Life Without You
Her Strut
Main Street
Old Time Rock and Roll
Downtown Train
Ramblin Gamblin' Man
C'est La Vie
Good For Me

Committee Site Visits

Members of the Planning Committee may sometimes defer a planning application until its next meeting so that they can visit the site.

Why might it be deferred for a site visit?

Members may wish to visit the site before making a decision on an application so that they can have a better understanding of the effects an application may have on an area or its immediate neighbours.

When will the site visit be?

Site visits usually take place on a Thursday afternoon as soon as practical after the application is deferred. If you have commented on an application, you will be notified of the date of the site visit.

Can I attend?

Anyone with an interest in the application is welcome to attend the site visit.

What happens at the site visit?

A planning officer will explain the application and reasons for the visit. They will also make a note of all the issues discussed during the visit.

When on site, Members of the Committee will:-

  • Allow the applicant to explain their proposals
  • Visit all areas of concern to members of the public (this may entail entering adjoining properties)
  • Hear the concerns of local residents

What happens then?

The application will be discussed at the next Committee meeting. Members will discuss what they saw at the site visit and any comments made by interested parties.

Full details of the site visit procedures can be found in the Code of Practice below.

McGinn Smith investors: Your money is (finally) coming

Donna Abbott-Vlahos

David Smith and Timothy McGinn exit the federal courthouse during their criminal trial.

Reporter- Albany Business Review
Email  |  LinkedIn  |  Twitter  |  Google+
(Page 3 of 3)

In their criminal trial, McGinn and Smith laid out several defenses, including:

• The government’s intervention denied them the chance to fully recover money for investors

• The subprime crisis and recession damaged investments tied to real estate and sectors reliant on discretionary income

• Repeated errors by their accounting staff

“This is a self-serving comment, but I think we acquitted ourselves with distinction,” McGinn testified. “We made every effort to build as many protective fences around those investments as we could. We went beyond what most other investment banks would do.”

Peralez leaving development partnership; forming own biz

Dennis Domrzalski
NMBW Staff

Art Peralez, a chief architect of the state's efforts to build an aviation industry cluster, is leaving his job at the New Mexico Economic Development Partnership to start his own aviation consulting company.

Peralez said he will leave his position as aviation business development manager at the Partnership on Aug. 5 to form A.G. Peralez Consulting LLC in Albuquerque.

"I will be doing lots of consulting for the aviation industry," Peralez says. "And I will be helping communities develop their aviation industry potential."

Peralez, who has been with the Partnership since it was formed 2003, won't be replaced, says Partnership Executive Director Jim Colson. His departure will leave the publicly funded corporation with six employees.

Before he joined the Partnership, Peralez spent three years at the New Mexico Economic Development Department, where he began the efforts to build an aviation cluster in the state. That effort, begun in 2002, was an attempt to build on Eclipse Aviation's presence in the state. It was to link Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, Hobbs, Clovis, Roswell, Carlsbad and Alamogordo with attempts to attract any kind of aviation business -- from attracting manufacturing plants to convincing pilots to vacation in the state.

Since then, Albuquerque has received a commitment from American Utilicraft to develop and build a short-range cargo plane in the city. It also has been trying to attract other small jet manufacturers.

The Partnership was formed by the New Mexico State Legislature. It initially had a $1.7 million annual budget and was charged with recruiting companies to New Mexico, particularly to rural areas.

VCs, start-ups forging closer ties

Bill Lane
Journal Staff

Air Inc. of Cambridge hopes it is on the verge of a pharmaceutical revolution, developing aerosol inhalants to deliver cancer, diabetes and asthma drugs deep into the lungs where they work longer and at lower doses than injected medication.

The one-year-old, 22-employee company is already pondering an initial public offering and could be closing in on a number of lucrative deals with American and international pharmaceutical companies, perhaps worth more than $175 million, according to David Edwards, president and chief scientific officer.

And if the IPO is successful, the public sale, contemplated for late 1999, could reap a windfall for Polaris Venture Partners LP, the Waltham venture capital firm that jump-started Air Inc. with offices, support staff and the cash that the drug company needed to take the lead in a lucrative biotechnology sector.

It is that nimble, fast-moving strategy that

Air Inc. executives credit for the company's successful launch, and its rosy future.

Polaris is among a number of Boston area venture capital and private equity firms that are committing time, money and even delegating full-time partners to cultivating promising young firms in their own investment "greenhouses" in hopes the fledgling companies will eventually be transformed into money trees.

While not every greenhouse company holds the same promise that Air Inc. seems to, venture capital investors say the upside potential far outweighs the downside risk.

"It's very time-intensive and not a very efficient way to operate, but it can result in some spectacular wins," said Richard M. Burnes Jr., general partner of Charles River Ventures, a Waltham venture capital firm that knows first-hand the sort of huge returns a successful greenhouse company can bring.

Aldi's heads to eastern suburbs

James Fink
Business First

Construction is expected to start later this summer on a new Aldi's Food Store in Lancaster.

Aldi's is working with town officials on plans to construct a 16,000-square-foot store on Transit Road, near William Street. The store will be Aldi's first in Lancaster.

The new store is targeted to open by spring 2009, officials said.

The project carries a development price tag approaching $3 million, according construction industry documents.

Also, in Lancaster, plans have been firmed up for a 7,000-square-foot Friendly's Restaurant -- also on Transit Road but just south of the New York State Thruway.

The project is being developed by Kunvarji Hotels, which owns several hotels and restaurants in the region.

Construction on the Friendly's is expected to start later this month. The restaurant is slated to open later this fall.

Kulback's Construction Corp. of Lancaster has been retained as the project's construction manager.

Heather Capps expands her HCK2 family

Heather Capps, president and CEO of HCK2 Partners, is this week's Facetime feature.

Associate Editor- Dallas Business Journal
Email  |  Twitter  |  Google+  |  LinkedIn

A lot of companies like to throw around the term “family environment” when talking about their workplace culture, but HCK2 Partners seems to be actually delivering on that message.

As I entered the Addison office to interview CEO Heather Capps for this week’s Facetime interview, everyone was quick to greet me, not just a cold receptionist behind the desk. While our photographer snapped shots of Capps in the company’s inspirational beanbag room (nothing says “let’s hang out and be a family” like a beanbag room), one of her associates helps fix her hair after every flash.

Walking back to a conference room to do the interview, Capps hugs a client visiting the office.

“People who come to work here and thrive in our environment have to have a certain kind of spirit to them,” Capps said. “It’s one of camaraderie. It’s one where people have each other’s backs and are willing to help out in challenging situations.”

The company works with clients such as United Supermarkets and Advocare, and recently helped the Girl Scouts rebrand as part of their 100th Anniversary exhibit currently on display at the State Fair of Texas.

And Capps has plans to grow the company. She sat down with the Dallas Business Journal to talk about the challenges of doubling revenue in the next three years while also keeping the family workplace environment.

Check out the full interview and watch the video below.

King Soopers parent's sales fall short of Wall Street estimates (Video)

Dec. 5 (Bloomberg) -- Michael Schlotman, CFO at Kroger discusses third-quarter results on Bloomberg Television’s “In The Loop.”

Mark Bowen | Courier

“Our quarterly results show once again that Kroger is uniquely positioned to grow and win in the U.S. food retail industry,” CEO David Dillon, who will retire Jan. 1, said in a news release.

Third-quarter earnings by Kroger Co. -- parent of Colorado's King Soopers and City Market supermarkets -- met analysts’ expectations, but sales fell shy of Wall Street estimates.

The Cincinnati-based supermarket giant (NYSE: KR) posted results on Thursday before the stock market opened, reporting it earned 53 cents per share in the quarter when one-time items are excluded.

That’s up 15 percent from last year’s profits of 46 cents per share. But it only matched what analysts had estimated, according to Zacks Investment Research Inc.’s consensus figures.

Kroger, the nation’s largest traditional supermarket operator, earned 57 cents per share, or $299 million, in the third quarter when including a net gain of 4 cents per share from the benefit of tax items and expenses tied to its pending acquisition of Harris Teeter Supermarkets Inc. (NYSE: HTSI), a deal that is slated to be completed by Feb. 1.

KPHO-TV Channel 5 renovating Phoenix studio

Reporter- Phoenix Business Journal

The home of the old “Wallace and Ladmo Show” is undergoing a $750,000 renovation aimed at bringing the studio into the 21st century.

The iconic and much-loved children’s show was broadcast from the Phoenix studios of KPHO-TV Channel 5 from 1954 to 1989. Children won goodies in “Ladmo bags,” and regulars Bill Thompson (as Wallace), Ladimir Kwiatkowski (as Ladmo) and Pat McMahon (as Boffo the Clown, Gerald and other characters) entertained the audience.

“It was really a kids’ show written for adults,” said Edward Munson, vice present and general manager of KPHO.

Munson is overseeing the renovation of the station’s facilities on the Black Canyon Highway. Owned by Meredith Corp., KPHO has been a CBS affiliate since 1994 and is investing close to $1 million to upgrade the studio and newsroom, he said.

Expected to be completed by the end of March, the project will result in an energy-efficient broadcast studio with new technology and a work area that brings together working journalists behind the scenes.

“This is really a mess, but overall it’s looking great,” Munson said, tongue in cheek.

For now, broadcasters, producers and reporters are working from a corner of the old studio as scaffolding and work crews install drop ceilings, wiring, and heating and air conditioning systems.

The renovations began in November after months of planning. Except for some cosmetic updates, the studios haven’t been significantly changed in decades.

“There was never any real money put into the infrastructure of that room,” Munson said.

The construction project will create an open-air second-floor mezzanine and bring technology to the desk of every journalist at the station. Newsroom staff will be able to edit video at their desks, and a “content center hub” will be created. This setup will place content editors in the center, with spokes connecting them to the station’s broadcast and Web journalists.

VOICES: Opinions on health law ruling

Staff Pittsburgh Business Times

Reaction to the Supreme Court's ruling continues to come in. Here's some of what we've seen:

Michael Zamagias, chairman of Teletracking Technologies, Pittsburgh:

"The ruling is good news for suppliers of the type of medical information technology which helps hospitals maximize the use of existing capacity. Resource optimization will be crucial to the success of hospitals which must deal with a large influx of new patients without adding new capacity. Hospitals needing to do more with less now have access to operational tools, such as real-time capacity management, which can optimize space, staff and equipment resources while easing overcrowding, reducing waste and increasing revenue."

Rick Santorum, former senator and GOP presidential candidate, in an email to supporters:

"Today's Supreme Court ruling on ObamaCare is the worst of all outcomes. Not only are our rights being taken away and Americans are being forced to do something we don't want to do, but now we are being burdened with the biggest permanent tax increase in our nation's history."

Neal Bisno, president of SEIU Healthcare Pennsyvlania and secretary/treasurer of SEIU PA State Council, which represents 80,000 employees in Pennsylvania:

“This is a resounding victory for working families who struggle every day to figure out how they will be able to afford quality health care. Insurance companies have been allowed to put profits over people for far too long. Now those with preexisting conditions will be protected from a lifetime of discrimination. Over 64,000 young people will be allowed to stay on their parents’ insurance. Millions of seniors will keep their expanded Medicare benefits. Corporate greed can no longer get in the way of decisions between patients and doctors.”

F-35 cockpit simulator makes stop in Pittsburgh

Jordan Markley

U.S. Rep. Mark Critz, D-12th District, in the F-35 cockpit demonstrator at the David Lawrence Convention Center in downtown Pittsburgh.

Editorial Intern- Pittsburgh Business Times

When the Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter goes up for flight tests, it's depending on parts and expertise from 43 Pennsylvania companies -- including a number based in western Pennsylvania.

There have been delays in the development of the next-generation fighter jet but Lockheed's top official on the project told a news conference Monday morning in Pittsburgh that the tests are going well. Steve Callaghan, director of F-35 operations at Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) and a F-35 cockpit demonstrator were at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center to discuss the program.

"We truly have hit stride with flight tests," said Callaghan. "This past June marks the eighteenth consecutive month that we're ahead of plan. We're ahead of the test plan. All three variants are performing very well."

Callaghan said the F-35 program has generated 136,000 jobs nationwide. The program accounted for $66 million of spending in Pennsylvania alone last year. Of the 43 Pennsylvania companies that supply components and expertise for the F-35, several of them are based in western Pennsylvania. Suppliers include Black Box Corp. (Nasdaq: BBOX), RTI International (NYSE: RTI) and II-VI Inc. (NYSE: IIVI).

Planning to replace the military's current jets began in the 1990s and later became the F-35 program. Lockheed Martin won a contract to research and develop three variants of the fighter in 2001. Since then, the Joint Strike Fighter has faced delays and set backs.

In March, the Pentagon's acting undersecretary of acquisition signed an acquisition decision memo that ensured the high tech planes would be built. Callaghan said Lockheed was currently producing about 3-4 planes a month but would ramp up production to 17 a month in the next five to seven years.

Speaking at the press conference, U.S. Rep. Mark Critz, D-12th District, home of a Lockheed Martin facility, acknowledged the delays in the development process, but was optimistic about the future of the Joint Strike Fighter. Critz also took advantage of the opportunity to hop in Lockheed's F-35 Lightning II cockpit demonstrator.

Quick-service chains thrive as restaurant patrons trade down

Andrew Tellijohn
Contributing Writer

Demand for retail space in the Twin Cities is down this year, but one bright spot for retail owners is quick-serve restaurant chains that continue to open new stores and elbow each other out for the best locations.

In October, Broomfield, Colo.-based Noodles & Co. opened up a restaurant in Rogers, its 18th in the Twin Cities and second new store in this market this year. Overall, the chain will open between 33 and 37 locations in 2008, with a similar number slated for next year.

Noodles is one of several quick-service restaurants (QSR) — the industry term for fast food — still expanding in the Twin Cities. Noodles, and others, are reporting sales increases as consumers trade down from casual dining locations to less-expensive options.

Kevin Reddy, Noodles’ president and CEO, said not all concepts are succeeding in this market — there are some competitors cutting development teams and preserving capital, but there also are many well-capitalized restaurants competing with each other for top-notch real estate opportunities and ready to open stores.

“We’re still doing very well,” he said. “”It’s true that in difficult times you tend to see trade-down. That usually benefits the more affordable concepts.”

According to Bloomington-based Northmarq Real Estate Services’ third-quarter market report, McDonald’s, Arby’s, Sonic, Checkers and Burger King are scouting for expansion sites. These restaurants typically want the most highly visible and easy-to-get-to locations, including outlots, which are the stand-alone sites in front of larger shopping centers.

“When the retail market was strong, land prices were high and the fast-food restaurants were priced out,” the report said. “Now that land prices have adjusted, more fast-food deals are being done. Landlords are sitting on outlots and are more willing to work with fast-food establishments.” Northmarq’s report also blames the “hourglass effect” of trading down for hurting sales at middle-class-targeted restaurants such as Bakers Square, Bennigan’s Grill and Tavern and Don Pablo’s Mexican Restaurants, which all closed some stores in the Twin Cities this year.

Black Box Explains...Coax connectors.

The BNC (Bayonet-Neill-Concelman) connector is the most commonly used coax connector. This large ”bayonet“ connector features a slotted outer conductor and an inner plastic dielectric, and it offers easy connection... more/see it nowand disconnection. After insertion, the plug is turned, tightening the pins in the socket. It is widely used in video and Radio Frequency (RF) applications up to 2.4 GHz. It is also common in 10BASE2 Ethernet networks, on cable interconnections, network cards, and test equipment.

The TNC connector is a threaded version of the BNC connector. It works in frequencies up to 12 GHz. It‘s commonly used in cellular telephone RF/antenna applications.

The N connector is a larger, threaded connector that was designed in the 1940s for military systems operating at less than 5 GHz. In the 1960s, improvements raised performance to 12 GHz. The connector features an internal gasket and is hand tightened. It is common on 2.4-GHz antennas.

The UHF connector looks like a coarse-threaded, big center-conductor version of the N connector. It was developed in the 1930s. It is suitable for use up to 200–300 MHz and generally offers nonconstant impedance.

The F connector is most often used in cable and satellite TV and antenna applications; and it performs well at high frequencies. The connector has a 3/8–32 coupling thread. Some F connectors are also available in a screw-on style.

The SMA (Subminiature A) connector is one of the most common RF/microwave connectors. This small, threaded connector is used on small cables that won’t be connected and disconnected often. It’s designed for use to 12.4 GHz, but works well at 18, and sometimes even up to 24 GHz. This connector is often used in avionics, radar, and microwave communications.

The SMC (Subminiature C) connector is a small, screw-on version of the SMA. It uses a 10–32 threaded interface and can be used in frequencies up to 10 GHz. This connector is used primarily in microwave environments.

The SMB (Subminiature B) connector is a small version of the SMC connector. It was developed in the 1960s and features a snap-on coupling for fast connections. It features a self-centering outer spring and overlapping dielectric. It is rated from 2–4 GHZ, but can possibly work up to 10 GHz.

The MCX (Micro Coax) connector is a coax RF connector developed in the 1980s. It has a snap-on interface and uses the same inner contact and insulator as the SMB connector but is 30% smaller. It can be used in broadband applications up to 6 GHz. collapse

It's Something Beautiful

Hello all :) I am a girlfriend to a United States Marine that's based overseas. I started my blog around the time we met to help me connect with other women out there who experience the military life in some form and to learn more about myself. Almost a year later and I'm still learning new things every day, but have met some really amazing people along the way! My blog is my diary: a way to document life as I know it.

Mommy Learns to Behave in a Store

The other day I was talking myself through the In-Store-Behavior-Malfunction that seems to be something every mother struggles through with her children. When I am the one with the incredible leisure moment of getting to go to the store by myself, and just wander around looking for the things I need, getting distracted by the things I don't need, and not having to raise my voice at anyone, it feels like a vacation.

During those moments, I will catch myself looking at moms who have their kids, who are doing the pinched mouth, overly stern, on the verge of a meltdown thing at their kids, saying "Not. One. More. Word." through clenched teeth, and I think, "Those poor kids. They're not even being that bad, really. They're just being kids. Their mom needs to lighten up."

Until it's my turn. And my kids are acting like maniacs in the store, and I am loosing it.

So, I had a little conversation with myself to figure out what is going on in these situations. Why am I so crazed by my kids bouncing in a store? They want to touch everything, and I just want to get the things we came for and get out. What is it about a store that brings out the lunatic in all of us?

I tried to see a store, not as a place to purchase things we need for our home, but As My Kids must see it. I tried to get inside their heads to understand why they suddenly want to be loud and out of control inside a store.

These were the first few things that came to mind:

  1. Look at all these colors!
  2. There are interesting things to look at in every direction, I don't even know where to focus first. I will have to look at everything at the same time and freak out.
  3. The ceiling has got to be 50 feet high - look how much bigger this place is than our house. I really need to bounce!
  4. I want everything in this store. I want that, and that, and that, and that.
  5. There is so much space. Look how wide I can swing my arms in this aisle without hitting anything.
  6. The floor is so smooth. I bet I could slide for 80 feet if I took my shoes off right now.
  7. Wouldn't this be a great place to play hide and seek? I could hide anywhere!

And I am starting to understand why we get information overload and meltdown is inevitable.

After thinking this through the other night on my way home from work - really thinking about it and trying to calm my own heart because I don't want to be That Mom, the one who is always stressed out on shopping trips - I have been able to manage our excursions ever so slightly better lately.

Just yesterday, as we pulled up to the store, Ben said from the back seat, "Should we talk about our expectations before we go inside?" Why, Yes, Ben. Great idea. This is something I try to remember to do before we get out of the car. Now Ben is doing it, which tells me it is starting to sink in. I try not to have too many rules, because too many become hard to remember.

Stick together, Stick to the List, and Don't Draw Attention to Ourselves.

Those are the only rules in the store.

As soon as I started seeing a store for what it is to them, a Giant Adventure, instead of just a place to get what we need, I started having more fun. I am not trying so hard to contain them.

I realized a big part of what happens in public, is that I start being hyper self-critical and concerned with how people will see my parenting skills. I start worrying that people will see my kids acting crazy as a reflection of me not having control of them. And then I remembered that I'm not trying to have control of them. I'd like to instill in them self-discipline. I'd also like to instill in them a sense of wonder and amazement at the world around them, which includes the grocery store, and all the people shopping there.

It also dawned on me that if I'm worried about what people think of me, raising my voice at my kids for being kids and being distracted by all the distractions, doesn't make any sense. Me being stressed reflects much more poorly on me, than my kids bouncing.

So, this mommy is learning to chill out and not be tight lipped at the store. My kids are really great kids. They say the funniest things, and see things that I have to remember to see. Going with them to the store is much more fun, it turns out, than feeling like I am taking them to the store with me. As a Chore. This is not a burden. This is spending time with my kids.

Going at a pace that allows for random observations and being blown away by all the colors and shiny objects makes everything more beautiful for all of us.

Soviet Song Seeks to End Filly Drought in Queen Elizabeth II

Edited from Ascot reports
Soviet Song attempts to bridge a 17-year gap by becoming the first filly since Milligram in 1987 to win the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes- Sponsored by Netjets (Eng-I) at Britain's Ascot Racecourse Saturday.

The prestigious race was promoted to group I status 1987, and it resulted in a clean sweep for females, with Milligram beating the mighty Miesque, and Sonic Lady taking third.

James Fanshawe reports Soviet Song as being none the worse for her success at Leopardstown, when she confirmed her Falmouth Stakes (Eng-I) superiority over dual Guineas heroine Attraction in the Matron Stakes (Eng-I).

Attraction has opted out of a third clash, connections fearing rain, but Johnny Murtagh, who has found the key to getting the best out of Soviet Song, has no worries about the going.

"Good horses go on any ground, and Soviet Song has proved she is just that by winning on all types of surfaces," Murtagh said. "She picked up really well in the Matron and seems to have retained her form, and the break that James gave her after the Sussex Stakes seems to have done her good."

Soviet Song is the only filly in the 14-strong field, and she looks to be guaranteed the fast gallop that suits her so well since Godolphin Racing has entered Blatant to make the pace for Refuse To Bend.

The French have not triumphed since Bigstone in 1993, but Andre Fabre is uncharacteristically bullish about the chances of Diamond Green, who will relish the likely fast ground and has been a model of consistency at the top level this summer.

Norse Dancer looked like gaining a long-overdue big-race success when he struck the front at the furlong-pole in the Irish Champion Stakes (Ire-I) and, while Azamour came from last to first to cut him down close home, David Elsworth has no qualms about coming back in distance with Norse Dancer, pointing to the great race that his luckless colt ran in last year's Two Thousand Guineas (Eng-I).

Rakti, a big disappointment in the Leopardstown feature, runs over a mile for the first time and, though the shorter trip is a worry, it certainly won't be a problem for Two Thousand Guineas winner Haafhd who, like so many of Barry Hills's horses, lost his way midsummer, nor Aidan O'Brien's unbeaten and relatively unexposed colt Ace, whom stable jockey Jamie Spencer prefers to the enigmatic Antonius Pius.

Hollywood Park Project OK'd in Inglewood

The Inglewood City Council, as expected, gave final approval on July 8 to several zoning and specific plan amendments allowing the owners of Hollywood Park to replace the track with a massive real estate development.

The package included a 134-page development agreement between the city and owner Hollywood Park Land Co., an affiliate of Bay Meadows Land Co., which purchased the 238-acre site from Churchill Downs Inc. in 2005. The series of council actions concluded a process that began last month with the approval of a final environmental impact report.

Developer Wilson Meany Sullivan says it plans to invest about $2 billion into the project, dubbed "Hollywood Park Tomorrow." It plans to begin the project in about one year.

The owners have promised to keep Hollywood Park open through the end of of 2009 and would provide the racing industry in California with six-month notice before closing the track. Chris Meany, representing the developer, reportedly told the Inglewood council that racing would continue "up to the last minute" before construction.

According to the report, an overflow crowd attended the evening meeting at the Inglewood City Council chamber and filled up a downstairs meeting room as well. While some spoke in favor of preserving the track, most were supportive of the development project, according to the report.

Hollywood Park opened for racing in 1938 and hosted the first Breeders' Cup in 1984.

The project calls for the demolition of the racetrack and construction of approximately 3,000 for-sale dwelling units, 620,000 square feet of retail space and 75,000 square feet of office and commercial space. There would also be allotted 10,000 square feet of community serving uses for a home owners’ association. An optional 300-room hotel, including 20,000 square feet of related meeting space, is in the plan.

A four-acre site is also proposed for civic uses, which could include uses such as a school, library or community center. Approximately 25 acres would be designated for recreation/open space (parks and a lake). The project would still include a card club where one currently exists next to the racetrack.
