American Dog Owners Association Urges NFL To Suspend Michael Vick in Wake of Dogfighting Indictment

The American Dog Owners Association (ADOA), formed in 1970 to combat dogfighting, announced today that it is calling for the National Football League (NFL) to suspend Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick in response to his recent indictment by a federal grand jury for allegedly participating in an interstate dogfighting enterprise.

According to the indictment, Michael Vick and three co-defendants were involved in an ongoing animal fighting venture from early 2001 through April 2007. During that time, the defendants allegedly ran a dog fighting enterprise known as "Bad Newz Kennels" operated on the grounds of a Smithfield, Va. property owned by Michael Vick since 2001. Said property was used for housing and training American Pit Bull Terriers used in the dog fights that took place there and in other US locations. The indictment further alleges that each dog fight would continue until the death or surrender of the losing dog. At the end of the fight, the losing dog was often put to death by drowning, hanging, gunshot, electrocution, or slamming.... (Continue reading)

New Aeronautical Lifting System Invention Doubles the Lifting Ability of Airfoil Wing Designs

In a wind tunnel set of experiments searching for a way to provide more lift to a new fire fighting aircraft inventor Michael C, Longo discovered a new way to create more lift in a typical airfoil design.

There are five main benefits to using this new system on current and new aircraft. It increases lift, it decreases drag, it increases speed, it increases fuel mileage, and increases the structural integrity in the wing where it is installed. The wind tunnel experiments use a 2-foot by 2-foot fan for the wind tunnel, blowing air at 10 mph, a 16 inch wing span scale wing using the PBY-5a airfoil lifts 70 grams at a 6 degrees angle of attack. Then when the new lifting system was turned on the test wing lifts 140 grams, doubling its lifting ability. Other airspeed tests were run at 5 and 15 mph and it was discovered that more than 100% improvement is present at 5 mph and less than 100% improvement is achieved a15 mph. "I think the lessening of the lift at higher speeds occurs due to the equipment limitations of my new lifting test components" explains Michael. "I think you can still double your lift at higher speeds if you use components to the new lifting system to meet those needs. Aerodynamically the laws don't change so doubling your lift at any speed is possible."... (Continue reading)
