Welcome to our September 2012 eNewsletter.
It is hard to believe it's already September. Sort of like the Olympics, we have been preparing for MineExpo 2012 this month which is also held every four years. As in 2008, MineExpo will be at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Our upcoming print edition will focus on mining and developments at the show. If you haven't registered to receive the print magazine, take a moment to do so. You'll receive the upcoming issue and future editions for no charge.
In this issue we have three new articles from our esteemed authors. The theme—software and data prep—is appropriate. Digital Terrain Models (DTM) are the fuel that drives 3D machine control and positioning.
I would like to mention the passing of Kent Hutson since our last newsletter. We send our heartfelt condolences to Kent's family. He will be missed by many. Paul Hahn and Kent worked together at Nikon some years back and Paul, along with others, is working on a story about times with Kent. Once completed, we will post on machinecontrolonline.com.
Best regards,
Randy Noland
Managing Editor & Co-Founder

 Working through software changes and improvements by Marco Cecala: – Things are never as easy as they seem. We have dedicated years to the production and processing of data for the 3D world.

 Highway Modeling Getting Started by Ron Ciccarone, LS: – There are typical sections for the various roadways, and there can be several different typical sections for the same roadway with station ranges where it is to be applied.

 Chainsaws and Crayons by Chad Cooper: – My choice to be an engineer was a pretty simple one: I hate to write and I love to draw. So I figured, in my infinite teenage wisdom, that engineering was a good choice for me.
