If confirmed by the Senate, McDonald would take over a Veterans Administration recently found to have been plagued by delays in military veterans getting healthcare at Va facilities.

Documents filed in a New Mexico court illustrate new details about a murder-for-hire plot targeting superstar Justin Bieber. The Associated Press reports that convicted killer Dana Martin told investigators he persuaded Mark Staake, a man he met in prison, and the man's nephew, Tanner Ruane, to kill Bieber, the singer's personal bodyguard and two other individuals not connected with Bieber.
Martin, who has a tattoo of Bieber on his leg, said he was angry at the singer for not responding to his letters. So the trio plotted to castrate two of the victims -- those not associated with Bieber -- with hedge clippers before heading to New York City, where the singer was slated to perform at Madison Square Garden in November.
"This perceived slight made Mr. Martin upset and that, coupled with Mr. Martin's perception of being a 'nobody' in prison, led him to begin plotting the kidnap and...

Famed marathon runner Micah True has been found dead in a remote part of New Mexico.
The athlete went missing last week (begs27Mar12) after going for a 12-mile (19.3 kilometre) jog in Gila National Forest and on Saturday a search and rescue team discovered his body beside a small stream.
A cause of death is not yet known as officials are waiting to perform an autopsy.
New Mexico State Police Lieutenant Robert McDonald tells ABCNews.com, "The body was released to the office of the medical investigator who will conduct an autopsy. From what everybody was told, they didn't find anything out of the ordinary whatsoever where he was found. No signs of blunt trauma or anything like that."
True first rose to fame as the subject of Christopher McDougall's best-selling novel, Born to Run, which focused on how he lived among a desert-dwelling tribe in the Copper Canyons of Mexico. Maggie Gyllenhaal's actor husband Peter Sarsgaard has recently signed on to bring the book to life as a big screen adaptation.

New York -- The angst Tiger Woods displayed in the wake of his pratfall last weekend at the Bridgestone Invitational may be nothing compared to the unease sweeping over network execs, advertisers and the handful of sponsors who have stuck with him.
While ad buyers locked in months ago and remain in place for this weekend's PGA Championship at Whistling Straits in Kohler, Wis., his struggles have produced a string of ratings bogeys and put the long-term confidence of marketers and both sides of the advertising fairway into the rough. How bad has it gotten for Woods? The primary lure for viewers could be the "train wreck" factor.
"Woods is one of the few human brands," said brand and engagement expert Robert Passikoff, who said the struggles of the nation's most well-known -- albeit severely tarnished -- sports icon could lift America's penchant for schadenfreude to new heights. Viewers could tune in,...

Skyline Solar, a Silicon Valley start-up founded by SolFocus veteran Bob McDonald, unveiled its low-cost, high-efficiency High Gain Solar Arrays (Hgs) this morning. The two-year-old company's Hgs, expected to be released later this year, combines the durability of silicon solar cells with thin-film solar's low cost.
Skyline's Hgs system uses single-axis tracking and metallic reflector racks that concentrate light onto strips of monocrystalline silicon cells. According to McDonald, the Hgs maintains a low cost by using components already available at a high volume (silicon cells and aluminum) in the right proportions. McDonald claims that Skyline's design can generate 10 times more energy per gram of silicon versus flat solar panels--all while using less than half the amount of parts compared to similar systems.
You probably won't see a Skyline system on your neighbor's roof--the technology is meant strictly for medium to large scale systems.
