Blue Moon Over Hampton Roads Tonight

You probably heard about things that only happen "once in a blue moon,"  Well, all of those things are about to happen tonight.  A blue moon will occur August 31st 2012, tonight.  

Blue Moon: Rare Second Full Moon of Month Visible Tonight
By NED POTTER

Aug. 31, 2012

Once in a blue moon, we get a night like this one. If the weather is clear, you will get to see the second full moon of the month -- or perhaps the fourth full moon of a three-month season -- or maybe an early "betrayer moon" (belewe in Old English) -- or any of half a dozen other definitions that have come up over the last 400 years. At any rate, the full moon of Aug. 31 has been agreed upon, somewhere, as a blue moon, and if you go out after dark, we hope you will enjoy its light.

The moon was actually at its fullest at 9:58 a.m. EDT today, which means it was below the horizon for most of the Western Hemisphere. If you saw the moon last night, you probably thought of it as full, and when it rises again tonight, it will still be plenty bright.

If it has even a hint of a blue tinge, please let us know immediately. Blue moons have very little to do with the color blue (although the moon can take on a blue cast if there is a lot of volcanic ash in the atmosphere). The phrase "once in a blue moon" has come to mean something that doesn't happen very often, and it's been a part of our folklore since -- well, nobody's quite sure.

"Blue Moon
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own...."

--"Blue Moon," by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart

Perhaps we are best off with expressions of sadness or loneliness. There are certainly enough songs about it, though there's also Nick Drake's more upbeat "Pink Moon," which refers to the full moon that comes in April.

Sky & Telescope, a magazine for astronomy enthusiasts, ran an article in March 1946 that defined a blue moon as the second full moon in a month -- but readily admits today that it made a mistake, oversimplifying the four-full-moons-in-a-season definition. The mistake caught on, even though the folklore scholar Philip Hiscock of Canada's Memorial University of Newfoundland said he could find no references to the two-moons-in-a-month definition from before then. (For the record, the moon is full once every 29 1/2 days.)

"The term has been around a long time," said Hiscock. "The earliest uses of that term really meant something like 'never ... an impossibility.'"

And even that's not quite the case. August 2012 has had two full moons -- but so did December 2009, and so will July 2015. Months with two full moons -- the reason we're all hearing the term now -- occur, on average, about once every 2.7 years.

Today's full moon does coincide with today's private memorial service for Neil Armstrong in Cincinnati. When Armstrong's family announced his death on Saturday, they made a request: "Honor his example of service, accomplishment and modesty, and the next time you walk outside on a clear night and see the moon smiling down at you, think of Neil Armstrong and give him a wink."  End of article.

I think we'll be celebrating with a few Blue Moons at my house.  I might even drag the twins out to get a photo with the mystical moon. 

Are any of our Checkered Flag fans planning special blue moon celebrations in Hampton Roads?

Crash Test Dummies Get Feminine

Source: [autonews.com]
Have you ever seen a female crash test dummie?  The answer is NO, until recently there were none  It has never made much sense to me as I am a girl, and I drive.  Well, there is apparently a reason for this gender pick.  It seems that smaller women are more likely to become seriously injured in an accident than the average sized male.  That statistic is scary as I am a whopping 5’ 3 ½” tall.  I know, I know, practically a giant, but I guess this statistic should really matter to me.  It seems that the industry is now keeping up with this information and doing something about it.   Dummies are now going to be women as well-well, the crash test ones that is.

There's a reason all crash test dummies were male until last year
By  Zach Bowman

Last year, government regulators made female crash test dummies a mandatory part of crash evaluations for the first time in collision evaluation history. Until then, manufacturers had been content to use dummies patterned after the average American male.

Safety advocates have argued for years that designing for male occupants present problems for smaller females. When airbags deploy, they're meant to strike occupants in the chest, but smaller individuals may instead be hit in the chin. If that happens, further head and neck injuries could ensue. According to Automotive News, smaller women are three times as likely as average-sized male drivers to be seriously injured in accidents.

Automakers have repeatedly argued that the average-sized test mannequin covers 95 percent of the driving population, and that developing a smaller dummy would take too long to create and be cost prohibitive. That argument has officially fallen by the wayside with the new requirements. Automotive News reports manufacturers are officially required to use small female crash dummies in front collision evaluations for 2011 model-year units.

With the industry moving from the 2011 model year and with the mindset to think more “girly” I feel much safer.  I am glad that I have always driven super safe vehicles and had great luck.

The Checkered Flag line-up of manufacturers are among the safest to be had.  With safety features, like the ones that are available now, I feel much more like I am driving in a bubble. I think I might be safer in my car than in my home.  I could get a paper cut or stub my toe in my house.

Amtrak Train From Norfolk to D.C. and Boston

If you're looking for a quick getaway and you live in Hampton Roads, if the weather is warm, you head to the Outer Banks.  But, during the cooler months, you follow the traffic to D.C.  Well, now, Amtrak is offering a little relief both cost and traffic wise, for a ride up to our nation’s capital. 

Amtrak rolls out ticket prices for Norfolk
By Dave Forster

Seats on the first Amtrak trains out of the city in December will go on sale at 6 a.m. today, with non-holiday prices ranging from $38 for a one-way trip to Washington to $73 to Boston.

Officials released other details of South Hampton Roads' new passenger rail service in conjunction with the start of ticket sales. Among them:

--Trains will begin serving Norfolk on Dec. 12.

--One train will depart from the platform by Harbor Park at 4:50 a.m. on weekdays and at 6:05 a.m. on weekends. The weekday train is scheduled to arrive in Washington at 9:44 a.m.

--A train will arrive in Norfolk at 8:50 p.m. on weekdays, 11:48 p.m. on Saturdays and 8:48 p.m. on Sundays.

--The cheapest ticket to New York will cost $63; the lowest price for a trip to Philadelphia will be $51.

The prices listed above are the lowest fares available, require a reservation at least 14 days in advance and may not always be available, said Christina Leeds, an Amtrak spokeswoman. Trains out of Norfolk will have 420 coach seats, 62 business seats and a food service car.

Bringing passenger rail service to South Hampton Roads required $114 million in state money to pay for upgrades to an existing freight corridor between Petersburg and Norfolk, said Amanda Reidelbach, manager of policy, communications and administration for the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation.

Service is starting 10 months ahead of schedule.

State rail officials want to get Norfolk's weekday departure time to 5 a.m. and move up the arrival time to 8:30 p.m., Reidelbach said. That could happen six months to a year after service begins as work on the rail line is finished, she said.

Construction on Norfolk's train station probably will start in mid-October and finish in late spring, said Paul Filion, the city's transportation construction project manager. A platform and temporary facility at Harbor Park will serve passengers until then.

There are no plans to sell tickets at the temporary facility, Filion said. They can be bought online at amtrak.com, through Amtrak's mobile app, or by calling (800) USA-RAIL.  End of article.

I made the drive to D.C. this week, and not only did it cost me over $100 in gas, it also left me with a headache from the multiple rush hour traffic jams I encountered.  It seems to me that the Norfolk Amtrak train is the perfect answer for those of us who need an inexpensive way to reach our nation’s capital without risking our lives on the Chinatown bus. 

What do our Checkered Flag fans think?  Will you be taking the train from Norfolk to Washington or train from Norfolk to Boston?  Drop a comment below.

Virginia Beach Arena Spending Scandal

 

What's the harm in listening to a proposal, a beach resident asked this morning?  No harm in hearing a sales pitch, huh?

So, you know that article we put up earlier about the proposed professional sports arena in Virginia Beach?  Well, turns out, the city of Virginia Beach has already spent $700,000 on this big idea-but, shhhhhh-it’s a secret. 

Va. Beach board spent nearly $700,000 so far in arena bid
By Aaron Applegate

A City Council-appointed board quietly spent nearly $700,000 in the last 18 months laying plans behind closed doors to build a large arena and attract a major professional sports team.

The city’s economic development authority held multiple discussions in closed session about work being done by a Dallas-based company leading the arena work. The company’s four contracts with the authority were approved in closed session, said Warren Harris, the city’s director of economic development.

Work on the arena was addressed cryptically at the last authority meeting on Aug. 21 when authority members “approved and ratified the retention of consultants for economic development opportunity discussed in the current and prior closed sessions,” according to draft meeting minutes. The money spent on the contracts, the motion said, was “reflected in the Authority’s monthly operating statements as miscellaneous expenses: research studies.”

“It was a highly confidential project that required a high degree of confidentially,” said Warren Harris, the city’s director of economic development, which helps run the authority.

The city is working with sports and entertainment companies led by Comcast-Spectacor that want to build an 18,500-seat arena next to the Virginia Beach Convention Center to attract a major league sports team. Sources have identified the target tenant as the NBA’s Sacramento Kings. Team owners have declined to comment and Comcast-Spectacor’s president and CEO said Tuesday his company has not been in talks with the Kings.

A City Council member who asked not to be identified said City Manager Jim Spore discussed the arena proposal in a private meeting days before the City Council’s Aug. 3 retreat. The council member said Spore referred to the city or one of its consultants being in talks with Kings representatives and that the arena project would need to be fast-tracked for a vote by council in October or November.

Some City Council members were surprised to learn Wednesday the authority was spending money on the arena project.

“We spent $700,000?” said an incredulous Councilman Bill DeSteph. “I did not know that. That’s ridiculous. We should know about that.”

Others said the City Council doesn’t need to know everything the authority is doing.

“It’s the function of the development authority to look at things like this, and I have no problem with it,” Councilman Jim Wood said.

Vice Mayor Louis Jones, a City Council liaison to the authority, said he was aware of the contracts but not how much had been spent.

“I knew they were spending some money. I just didn’t know how much it was,” said Councilwoman Rosemary Wilson, the City Council’s other liaison to the authority.

Four contracts with HKS, an architecture and project management company, authorized the city to pay the company up to $895,000 on developing arena plans. The contracts were released to the Pilot on Wednesday. The first contract is from Feb. 2011, and the last one is from last month.

So far, $678,400 has been spent, Harris said.

Expenses included public relations, marketing, coordination of negotiations with the NBA and NHL, formation of local advocacy group, development of financing models, marketing studies for premium seating, naming rights, and corporate sponsorships, public opinion research, and economic impact studies, including the one done by done by James V. Koch, an economics professor at Old Dominion University, according to the contracts.

John Richardson, chairman of city authority, could not be reached for comment Wednesday.  End of article.

What do we think, Checkered Flag fans?  Many of our Virginia Beach residents are calling “shenanigans” on this one.  Is this shady spending or a valid price tag for a proposed idea?  

Just imagine if you went to a dealership and they asked you to pay for the test drive.  "Sir, you can test drive the new car, if you pay for someone to bring it here, an employees salary for the time it takes us to help you, the gas, and we're going to need a few bucks to advertise to you.  But, so your wife doesn't find out, we'll give you a receipt listing it as "research costs""  Sounds completely crazy to me.

New Fuel Efficiency Standard could have you paying $1 less per gallon by 2017

I'm betting all or our Checkered Flag will agree with this response to our President's iniative.  Unless, that is, they own a gas station.

New CAFE rules officially finalized; 54.5 mpg is like making gas $1/gallon cheaper
By  Sebastian Blanco

Increasing the Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards for model year 2017-2025 cars to 54.5 miles per gallon was first proposed in July 2011. Since then, there has been a lot of back and forth, a lot of positive and negative responses, and, lately, a delay for unknown reasons. Since the CAFE rules were not changed between the mid-1980s and when President Obama came into office and rules for 2012-2016 model year vehicles were put in place in 2010, it's not a huge surprise this update took so long. That's all over now.

Department of Transportation secretary Ray LaHood and Environmental Protection Agency administrator Lisa Jackson announced the official finalization of new federal fuel efficiency standards in a Tuesday conference call. Some headline numbers from the call:

    The reduced fuel use will save American families over $1.7 trillion dollars in fuel costs.

    Vehicles on American roads will use two million barrels of oil less per day by 2025, "as much as half of the oil we import from OPEC each day."

    More efficient cars will be more expensive, but LaHood said that the buyers can expect average fuel savings of $8,000 per vehicle (over the life of the vehicle) for a 2025 model year car compared to a similar vehicle from 2010, using today's prices. That's equivalent to gas being a dollar a gallon cheaper.

    You like lower emissions? The new standards will "reduc[e] emissions by 6 billion metric tons over the life of the program – more than the total amount of carbon dioxide emitted by the United States in 2010."

We've heard a lot of those numbers before, but there were some items in the press release (not addressed on the call) that caught our eye. Specifically:

    The program also includes targeted incentives to encourage early adoption and introduction into the marketplace of advanced technologies to dramatically improve vehicle performance, including:
    Incentives for electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and fuel cells vehicles;
    Incentives for hybrid technologies for large pickups and for other technologies that achieve high fuel economy levels on large pickups;
    Incentives for natural gas vehicles;
    Credits for technologies with potential to achieve real-world greenhouse gas reductions and fuel economy improvements that are not captured by the standards test procedures.

We don't know how these incentives stack (or don't) with current incentives or if they're just the ones already in place, but we've put in a call to the EPA to find out. We'll let you know when we hear back. A sample of early responses to the official rules – (are) all positive, so far.

World Records Made By Hyundai Genesis

Checkered Flag Hyundai is proud to announce the latest road victory of the Hyundai Genesis. A world record was set by Rhys Millen by his ascent time under 10 minutes for the 14,115 foot summit of Pikes Peak in Colorado.  The Hyundai Genesis is an amazing vehicle to behold on the road.  Glad to hear that it is getting its props on the road and blazing the trails setting world records.

RHYS MILLEN SETS NEW WORLD RECORD AT 2012 PIKES PEAK HILL CLIMB IN RACE-PREPARED HYUNDAI GENESIS COUPE

Millen Sets a New World Record and Takes this Year's Victory With an Ascent Time Under 10 Minutes (9:46.164) to the 14,115 foot Summit




PIKES PEAK, COLORADO, August 12, 2012 - Rhys Millen claimed yet another world record and overall victory at the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb on Sunday. Millen set a blazing pace to the summit in his hillclimb-prepared Hyundai Genesis Coupe racecar, needing only 9:46.164 to make international motorsports' most challenging ascent over 14,000 feet. For 2012, Millen's own race team, Rhys Millen Racing (RMR), made additional performance enhancements to the current world-record-setting Genesis Coupe, the very same car that set the Time Attack 2WD record last year with Rhys' father, Rod Millen, at the wheel.

"This year, it really came together for the RMR team at Pikes," said Millen. "With the insights gained from the last few years in our Genesis Coupe, the team was able to make some high-impact improvements, leveraging additional downforce and traction opportunities provided by the new all-tarmac surface. And behind the wheel, my experience at Pikes Peak over the years allowed me to shave a few tenths from virtually every corner. Breaking the 10-minute barrier is something I've always wanted to do, and it feels great to accomplish this goal in 2012."

Not content to rest on their laurels from last years' victory, the RMR team held nothing back in race preparation for this year's effort. Special focus was given to maximizing the grip potential of the new all-tarmac course and its considerably higher average speeds. A new aero package was fitted, targeting even more downforce to accommodate higher speeds and additional grip requirements of new, ultra-wide, staggered fitment Hankook F200 racing slicks on custom HRE lightweight wheels. The front splitter was redesigned for more strength and the rear wing was redesigned for additional downforce, along with a wider rear body kit for stability. On the power side, a new Garrett GTX3582 Turbocharger was fitted, yielding an amazing 700 horsepower and 700 lb. ft. of torque from the Hyundai V6 powerplant. To handle this extra power, the brake calipers were upgraded for extra thermal capacity, and additional cooling ductwork was installed to ensure optimal brake performance at the summit's extreme altitudes. The entire car was scrutinized for weight reduction potential and suspension settings were further optimized for Millen's unique rally/drift driving techniques.

Rhys Millen Racing has been the team to contend with in recent years at Pikes Peak. In 2011, Rhys nearly broke the famed 10-minute barrier in his dedicated PM580 tubeframe hillclimb racer. In a classic father/son family effort, Rhys' father, Rod Millen, set the current record in the same Genesis Coupe, having recently celebrated his 60th birthday, even beating a Porsche 911 GT2 RS. In 2009, Rhys had set the world record for Time Attack 2WD in the Genesis Coupe, the beginning of a world-record-setting dynasty for the RMR team.
