Make an effort to stay in touch with not just your friends but also your university after graduation.
All right, so you've done it. You've listened to "Pomp and Circumstance," packed up your apartment or dorm room and written the last graduation gift thank-you note to your great-aunt. You graduated. And while you might be busy dreaming up tips for your cousin who's about to start college, did you ever think that you might be the one in need of advice?
College doesn't end at graduation. Staying connected to your campus community can yield endless benefits, both professional and personal. Unfortunately, it can be hard to stay connected when you're moving to a new city or starting a full-time job. Here are five tips on how to stay connected to your school.
1. Go to homecoming
It might seem a little early to think ahead to the fall, but homecoming offers the perfect opportunity to see your fellow graduates and check in with friends who are still in school.
Amherst College Homecoming 2011 gave alumni a unique chance to meet during "Clash of the Classes." Graduates from even and odd years competed against each other to keep a 10-foot beach ball in the air all the way from the football field's 50-yard line to the goal post.
Recent grads who want to network in a more conventional manner can attend the networking panels and receptions that many schools host during homecoming.
"In some years we've also had different receptions for professional groups," said Marcy Larmon, director of on-campus programs in Amherst's Office of Alumni and Parent Programs. "Educators have been one, (since) we have a lot of students go into education after graduation."
2. Reach out to your school's alumni network
Most schools will have some sort of alumni network that you can join once you graduate. Regional clubs hold events where you can meet fellow alumni, and you can make connections online, too. Amherst has an online directory where graduates can search for other alumni by traits such as major, profession or geography. That's a perfect way to contact alumni who are working in fields that might interest you. Don't be afraid to email them and set up informational interviews.
In addition to career advice, you might hear some good stories about back in their day when they walked uphill both ways in the snow to the dining hall. (Just try not to remind them that it didn't snow where you went to school.)
3. Volunteer to interview new applicants
Besides encouraging networking among alumni, some schools' alumni networks also help with the college admissions process. Signing up to interview new applicants will allow you to shape what the future student body looks like and give back to your university. Plus, you'll get to tell your interviewees funny stories about when you walked uphill both ways in the snow to the dining hall.
4. Read the school newspaper
Only college newspapers will give you headlines like "Reflections from a Free Food Junkie," "Introducing the Troubling Tummies Team" and "Sasquatch! 2012 Recap." Reading your college newspaper will keep you informed about quirky campus events that won't make it into the mainstream media. Many college publications also have blogs or Twitter accounts that you can follow, such as William and Mary's. Lastly, don't forget websites that include coverage from multiple colleges.
5. Go to grad school
It's not hard to stay connected to campus if you're, well, on campus. Technically, some universities have their graduate programs on different campuses than the undergraduate campus, such as Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, but you get the idea.
Returning to your undergraduate school for graduate school will guarantee that you're in a community where you feel comfortable. You might even end up living with old friends.
Wherever you go for graduate school, don't forget your first college community. The relationships you build there can last longer than four years, but only if you maintain them.

Herald Extraordinary

==Eastern Extraordinary Heralds and their Titles==
Revision as of 18:58, 29 August 2013
Herald Extraordinary Charter for Baron Rowen Cloteworthy
Herald Extraordinary
The Rank of Herald Extraordinary is a Rank bestowed upon a senior Herald of the Kingdom to recognize their extreme service to the College of Arms. It is exceptional in all the Society in that it is one of the few awards to not be the right of the Crown to bestow. Rather it is an award given by the Principal Herald on behalf of the Kingdom's College of Arms.
The award enables the recipient to register their own personal heraldic Title. After that is registered the Herald Extraordinary is then referred to as any other Herald of the College by their Name and title. For example, Master Ernst Nuss von Kitzingen has the personal title of Coach Herald Extraordinary. He is referred to in the College as Ernst Coach.
The Rank dates back to the Letter of Acceptances and Returns from July 1981 and was created by Master Wilhelm von Schlüssel, then Laurel King of Arms.
From the July 1981 LoAR
July 30, 1981 XVI
TO: The Members of the College of Arms
FROM: Master Wilhelm von Schlüssel, Laurel King of Arms
The rank that I have decided to add is that of Herald Extraordinary. This is a rank in use in England today, whenever they create a Herald's post for some occasion that is not to become a permanent position on the-College of Arms' roster. The rank of Herald Extraordinary shall be permanent so long as the holder continues to remain active in SCA heraldry. Each Herald Extraordinary shall have a title that is his/her own personal title that s/he shall hold so long as s/he remains active. If s/he should retire from the SCA, the title shall retire with her/him and shall not be used again by anyone else. Such titles must still clear my office. Kingdom Principal Heralds are responsible for elevating heralds in their kingdom to this rank, as they are responsible for all other ranks within their kingdom. This rank is reserved for those heralds who have greatly served the College of Heralds and/or the College of Arms and have achieved the highest level of competence in heraldry. Such a rank shall have no fixed duties, unless such shall be agreed upon by the holder and the Kingdom Principal Herald, but instead the holder of the rank shall be a senior member of the College who shall lend heraldic expertise as s/he sees fit.
To start this rank off, I hereby award it to two of our longest contributing members. First is Master Ioseph of Locksley, the first Aten Principal Herald and the second Laurel King of Arms. He will continue to be Laurel Emeritus, and may submit to me a personal title if he so chooses. The second is Master Alfgar the Sententious, who has served the heralds for over ten years nonstop both as Brigantia Principal Herald and as Virgule Herald. I hereby make Virgule his own personal title. He shall continue to hold the rank of Herald so long as he remains on the Laurel Staff and comments on letters, and when he finally tires of that he shall be Virgule Herald Extraordinary so long as he remains active in the SCA. To both of you, thank you on behalf of the College of Arms for your contributions and three cheers!

Comments about Light-up Black & Purple Tutu:
The fit was good, and the lights were "OK". It does show up in the dark, but they are not as visible in regular lighting. And there could be more of them, but not in back where she might sit on them! I would add a small piece of Velcro to the battery "pocket" to keep the battery pack from falling out.

Comments about Light-up Black & Purple Tutu:
I was very disappointed in the lighting on the tutu. It is one burst of very thin, small lighting on one half of the skirt. The light is not bright and does not go all around the tutu like the picture suggests. It is a cute tutu and fits great, but I am sad that the lighting is dim and sparce.

Adventure Day Trip to Fun Fun Cave
Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Adventure Day Trip to Fun Fun Cave. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
This tour was top-notch from hotel pickup to return. I am a 62 year old somewhat out of shape and at times a bit uncoordinated. However, guides Gary and Hendry made sure that all bases were covered assuring that I had a fantastic experience. My wife also was given great attention by both to assure that all safety procedures were understood and that none of the history and highlights of the tour were overlooked. The horseback ride to the cave entrance was one of the best rides I have experienced. My horse, Orlando Bloom, knew his way and always kept with the group. I was a bit apprehensive about the trek from the horse drop off to the cave entrance but all went extremely well. Even clumsy me did very well and kept up with the group with little problem. I did need one little rest but the guides made sure that I was in good hands at all times. At the cave entrance, all instructions were covered and then it was time to rappel. Wow, what a fantastic and fun experience! Down in the cave you have your helmet and headlamp that lets you see nature at its very best. After the cave walk, you come out into a refreshing water area where you can relax before your horseback ride to the food area where you are given a delicious Dominican Republic culturally oriented prepared meal. This tour should not be missed! Both Gary and Hendry spoke excellent English and like previously said always went above and beyond. Thanks to both - my wife and I had a wonderful day!!
This was an awesome excursion. It's approx a 3 hour drive from the hotels in Bavaro, Punta Cana, then 30 mins on horseback, 45 mins hike up the hills, an hour or so in the depths of the cave (after having rappelled down) then back to the horseride, lunch and drive back to the hotel. Guides (Gary and team) were excellent. Just something to be aware of - you need to be in decent physical shape especially for the hike. Total duration of the trip is close to 12 hours. Also it's pronounced Foon Foon cave.
My husband and I are a young couple, but we love to hike so we decided to book this day trip. At first based on the name we didn't expect this trip to be so amazingly adventurous! our tour guides was Gary and Hendrickson, they were absolutely fabulous!! They ensured everyone was safe and they guided the hike with such enthusiasm. they loved it and we loved it. It is quite a long ride to the ranch but you get a very good idea and scene of how some of the Dominican people live. This day trip is very adventurous but they will provide you with gear. Bring mosquito repellant for sure. This trip was well worth the buck! We will definitely come back again!
This tour is for the relatively fit. There is 45 minutes of hiking through rocky/trail terrain which is highly wooded. The horse back riding portion at the beginning and end was great. We repelled into a cave which was safe to do. The tour guides were fun, knowledgeable and funny. This is a 38 million year old cave which is more recently discovered. I was worried about the bug/spider situation in the cave, but it wasn't an issue. The bugs are relentless on the trail, so bring big spray. The cave and bats are really cool. A ham sandwich snack was offered when we got there. After the tour, the lunch was great: red beans and rice, jerk chicken, pork, coleslaw salad, fruit, potatoes, etc. Water, pop, and beer are also offered. Tip: wear a swim suit/board shorts. They give you a "prison-like" jump suit to wear for the tour along with rubber boots. They say bring extra socks. This is because the rubber boots need to be drained out several times do to the water. When done with the tour, you can wear dry socks for your shoes back home. Flip flops to change out of would also work. Bring a change of clothes (shorts/shirt) to wear over your bathing suit afterwards would also be helpful. Lockers and changing rooms are offered at the location. This was my favorite tour in Punta Cana and highly recommended. Tip: Water cameras only! They will video tape the tour for purchase of $40 U.S. currency.
AMAZING! If you love adventure this is the trip. Beautiful scenic drive through the dominican republic, horse back riding, hiking, repelling into a cave, cave exploration and yes you will get wet in the cave. Some of the best home cooked dominican food awaits you at the end of your adventure.
I highly recommend this excursion to anyone. Everyone associated with assisting us was incredibly helpful. the driver, amazing guid and super funny. Quick Tips: Bring cash, they film everything and you can buy a dvd copy, bring a waterproof camera and lastly bring enough to tip your guides and driver since they are extremely helpful and make the experience happen.

This was the most amazing adventure ever. Be prepared though it is not for the weak. It was a three hour drive to the ranch. We rode horseS up and down hills, hiked up and down hills and the crawled around on our stomachs in the caves. If you are adventorous, this tour is for you.
Wow! This was AMAZING! The bus drive to the ranch was a bit sketchy (3 hour drive in and the driver didn't say a word) but we got the opportunity to see many different walks of life and life styles. Once you get to the location you pass two gates to get onto the ranch and the driver opens them manually and hops back in the small bus. Once you're there you'll never forget your trip!! This was a dream and quite the adventure. Horse ride through streams, hike up the mountain (with full gear on), exploring the caves, diving under water in the caves and beers waiting for us at the end of the cave. The lunch they provide at the end of the adventure was the BEST meal I ate while in Dominican. Do IT! You won't regret it. It is a life experience. Enjoy Oh, and bring bug repellant.
This trip was the best thing about our trip to the Dominican Republic! First you start out with a horse back ride, then hike through the hills, then repel down into a cave where you hike some more, then after you're out of the cave the horses are waiting for you to take you back to the ranch. Carlos, the guide, was absolutely incredible! Very knowledgeable and funny! This trip is not for the faint of heart! One thing to note... remember a water proof camera. When you're in the cave, you dive under water so you can't bring anything that can't get wet!! However, there is a videographer who tapes the entire thing and sells the DVDs for $40. We bought one and have watched it 3 times already... TOTALLY worth it!! Great memories... couldn't have asked for a better excursion!
This was a fun-filled day of activities. We did horseback riding, hiking in the forest, repelled down the entrance of the cave, and explored the cave itself. Equipment was provided free of charge. The experienced staff was multilingual and attentive to every detail. The meals were simply delicious.
My wife and I took this trip in August 2012, and it was great. The guides kept the trip memorable and were funny and intelligent about their country, the jungle, and the cave. The trip there took a while from Punta Cana, but you get to really see the country. The horses were a lot of fun to ride and it was awe inspiring to be in the cave and really explore it. You get to go through the cave waters and take tons of pictures. Make sure you bring a waterproof camera because the pictures are worth it.
It is approximately just a little over three hours by bus from Hotel zone, with one break on the way. After arrival to the field, they served a late breakfast. Then, I changed into the overalls that were provided. Horseback riding experience lasted approximately one hour. This was very fun. Horses take to you well. After the horse ride, we walked for 45 minutes. It is slightly hot here, but not too bad. We ended up at the cave. I have not experienced anything like it in the past. A swimsuit is needed, there is a place to jump into the water. I came back by horseback riding again. Then I had a late lunch. Almost everything you need is provided. Finally they made a DVD of the experience. This is fun too. I had a very fun experience.
THE MOST amazing experience of my life! This is one that should not EVER be missed Gadiele and Hendrix were amazing guides and even though I argued w him at first that I couldn't do it I felt safe and found out how FUN and EASY the repelling was. NOTE you can ONLY take a waterproof camera so don't miss out!
This was a great trip. We were able to partake on a great experience. The guides were local and very knowledgable. They made the trip so much more fun. The only disappointment was that the photograph did not show up, so we were not give the opportunity to have a cd / dvd of the experience.
3 hour bus ride is a bit much, but the cave was awesome and the tour guides were great.
We had a great time and would definitely do it again.

The Government and Royal Commission proposals for new rules on earthquake-prone buildings will be of interest to building owners throughout the region.
The consultation document puts forward new rules that would mean tighter timeframes for shoring up at-risk buildings, and implications for all buildings, even single-level homes.
Falling hazards, like chimneys, could be made to be reinforced or removed, which will no doubt be an unwelcome cost to many home-owners.
But it's not a surprising recommendation, given many of those who died in the Canterbury earthquake were killed by falling debris, many from unreinforced masonry buildings.
Here in Wairarapa there are many buildings in need of earthquake strengthening - the 75-year-old Times-Age building on Chapel St is among them.
Particularly for companies or landlords who own multiple buildings, having to make improvements within a short timeframe could have a significant financial impact.
However, there needs to be a tightening up of the rules, as the current system seems to allow building owners, once they have met requirements to assess their building, to do nothing for an indeterminable length of time.
According to the consultation document, owners are being given an average of 28 years to undertake strengthening work.
While the need to make buildings safer needs to be balanced against the cost, 28 years is a long time to live with a known and avoidable risk.
What's also unclear is what safeguards will be put in place to ensure valuable historical buildings won't be put at risk by putting more pressure on owners to bring them up to standard.
The need to protect our heritage doesn't outweigh protecting people's lives, but it needs to be part of the plan.

Hodgkin's Survivor Gives Birth Following Ovarian Tissue Implant
For the first time, a woman who became sterile as a result of chemotherapy has given birth to a healthy baby following implantation of her own ovarian tissue, which had been cryopreserved before she underwent chemotherapy. The baby girl was born on September 23, approximately 7 years after the 32-year-old Belgian woman's initial chemotherapy treatment for Hodgkin's disease and 3 years after she had been cleared by her oncologists as disease free. "Our findings open new perspectives for young cancer patients facing premature ovarian failure," said lead investigator Dr. Jacques Donnez of the Catholic University of Louvain in Brussels. A report on the procedure that led to the birth was published on The Lancet Web site on September 24.
The patient presented with clinical stage IV Hodgkin's disease in 1997. Dr. Donnez's team took five biopsy samples via laparoscopy from the left ovary (12-15 mm long and 5 mm wide). One tissue strip was kept intact, while the remaining four were cut into smaller cubes. The tissue was frozen and stored for 7 years. Seven days before the actual tissue implantation, the team surgically created a small pocket, or "peritoneal window," near the woman's right ovary. "The goal was to induce angiogenesis and neovascularization in this area," the authors explained. A week later, some of the thawed tissue samples were implanted. The remaining samples were implanted after 4 months, with signs of ovulatory activity several months later. In early 2004, the patient became pregnant by natural means.
Although the authors acknowledged there is a chance that the pregnancy did not originate from the transplanted tissue, they offered several lines of evidence to support that it was. In addition, they stressed that the procedure presents some ethical and medical considerations that must be addressed. "One major concern...is the potential risk that the frozen-thawed ovarian tissue might harbor malignant cells, which could induce a recurrence of disease after transplantation," they wrote in the paper. "Screening methods to detect minimal residual disease must be developed to eliminate risk of cancer cell transmission with reimplantation."
Artificial Neural Networks Can Predict Clinical Outcomes of Neuroblastoma Patients
Researchers at NCI, in collaboration with colleagues from Germany and Australia, have used artificial neural networks (ANNs) to successfully predict the clinical outcomes of patients diagnosed with neuroblastoma (NB). They also used the ANNs to identify a set of 19 genes whose expression levels were closely associated with outcome. The study, which appears in the October 1 Cancer Research, suggests the predictive power of ANNs could assist physicians in the treatment of individual patients, especially those considered high risk.
Dr. Javed Khan and his team at NCI's Pediatric Oncology Branch first used cDNA microarrays containing over 25,000 genes to create gene expression profiles of primary tumors from 49 NB patients with a known clinical outcome: good (event-free survival for more than 3 years) or poor (death due to disease). Next, they adapted an ANN algorithm - a specialized pattern recognition program modeled after the human brain - to identify patterns in tumor gene expression. They found that the ANN could predict the clinical outcome from any individual gene profile with about 88 percent accuracy. The researchers then optimized the profiles and found 19 genes whose expression could act as a predictor set. Using only these 19 genes, ANN accuracy increased to 95 percent.
"What was most exciting was that we were able to predict which high-risk patients would have good or poor outcomes," said Dr. Khan. "This has major clinical implications, since we are now able to distinguish a group of ultra-high-risk patients who will not respond to conventional therapy and therefore require alternative treatment. We may also be able to reduce the intensity of the treatment regimen to high-risk patients predicted to survive based on their gene expression profiles."
"Because we are using 19 genes instead of 25,000," he added, "we can translate our findings to the clinic because simple prognostic assays can be developed quickly, based on this small number of genes."
Antioxidant Supplements May Not Prevent GI Cancers
Populations with diets rich in antioxidants from fruits and vegetables show low rates of cancer and heart disease. But in a recent analysis of studies from the last 20 years involving people considered to be at high risk for gastrointestinal (GI) cancers, there was no significant link between antioxidant nutritional supplements and the prevention of digestive cancers. The study, sponsored by Denmark's Knowledge and Research Center for Alternative Medicine and the Copenhagen Trial Unit at the Centre for Clinical Intervention Research, is published in the October 2 issue of The Lancet.
The research team, led by Dr. Goran Bjelakovic of the University of Nis in Serbia and Montenegro, and colleagues at the Cochrane Hepato-Biliary Group, looked at 14 randomized trials that jointly involved more than 170,000 participants, where the supplements beta-carotene, vitamins A, C, and E, and selenium were compared, either alone or in combination, against a placebo. The results showed no link between antioxidants and digestive cancer prevention and, in half of the trials, there was a small increase in mortality among people who took the antioxidant supplements. Four of the trials, however, did show a possible link between selenium supplements and decreased risk for digestive cancers.
In an interview with the Associated Press, Dr. Bjelakovic deemed antioxidant pills (excepting selenium) as "useless for prevention of gastrointestinal cancers." But this type of analysis can be misleading, notes Dr. Peter Greenwald, director of NCI's Division of Cancer Prevention. "Analyzing all types of GI cancers together, when they have differing etiologic factors, is an oversimplification," says Dr. Greenwald. "When you look at the studies in each organ site, the relative risk for gastric cancer suggests a slight increase in risk from supplements, while the relative risk for colorectal cancer shows a tendency toward a decrease in risk." None of the results are statistically significant, but those trends suggest that antioxidant supplements may yet be useful in some kinds of GI cancers, he notes.

|Classification and external resources
|Calcific tendinitis
|Classification and external resources
Calcific tendinitis (also calcific/calcifying/calcified/calcareous tenonitis/tendonitis/tendinopathy, tendinosis calcarea, hydroxyapatite deposition disease (HADD) and calcific periarthritis), a form of tendinitis, is a disorder characterized by deposits of hydroxyapatite (a crystalline calcium phosphate) in any tendon of the body, but most commonly in the tendons of the rotator cuff (shoulder), causing pain and inflammation.The condition is related to and may cause adhesive capsulitis ("frozen shoulder").
Three main theories have emerged in an attempt to explain the mechanisms involved in tendon calcification.[1] The first theory is the theory of reactive calcification and involves an active cell-mediated process, usually followed by spontaneous resorption by phagocytosing multinucleated cells showing a typical osteoclast phenotype. The second theory suggests that calcium deposits are formed by a process resembling endochondral ossification. The mechanism involves regional hypoxia, which transforms tenocytes into chondrocytes. The third theory involves ectopic bone formation from metaplasia of mesenquimal stem cells normally present in tendon tissue into osteogenic cells. As no single theory is satisfactory to explain all cases, calcific tendinopathy is currently believed to be multifactorial.[1]
Pain is often aggravated by elevation of the arm above shoulder level or by lying on the shoulder. Pain may awaken the patient from sleep. Other complaints may be stiffness, snapping, catching, or weakness of the shoulder.
The calcific deposits are visible on X-ray as discrete lumps or cloudy areas. The deposits look cloudy on X-ray if they are in the process of re-absorption, and this is also when they cause the most pain. The deposits are crystalline when in their resting phase and like toothpaste in the re-absorptive phase. However, poor correlation exists between the appearance of a calcific deposit on plain x-rays and its consistency on needling. Ultrasound is also useful to depict calcific deposits and closely correlates with the stage of disease.[1]
A controversial topic, this conservative treatment can be very effective for some patients, and reports of pain cessation with strict dietary calcium restriction have been documented. Dietary restriction applies to all milk products, nuts that have a high calcium content, calcium-fortified products and high calcium vegetables and snacks. Food nutritional labels are helpful in determining foods to restrict. If no improvement is noted after three months, other treatment modalities should be tried.
It is assumed the body scavenges the pathological calcium deposits when dietary calcium is restricted. Studies are required in this area.
Extracorporeal shockwave therapy uses sound waves focused onto the deposit. It works by an unknown mechanism in this disorder. In some German studies, 30-70% of patients obtained pain relief, and, in 20-77% of cases, the calcific deposit disappeared or disintegrated.
Analgesics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) are useful to a limited extent.
Electroanalgesia, ice therapy, and heat offer symptomatic relief. The benefit of ultrasound in calcific tendinitis is debated; most studies are negative but a study by Ebenbichler et al. (1999)[2] showed resolution of deposits and clinical improvement. Improving the biomechanics of the shoulder will reduce the tension on the fault muscles allowing a decrease in symptoms. Improved biomechanics are thought to reduce the amount of calcification that occurs especially in the case on supraspinatus where it can be caused from repetitive compression against the acromium.
In studies, acetic acid iontophoresis combined with ultrasound provided no better clinical results or shrinkage of the calcific deposits than did no treatment.
Under local anesthetic, the calcific deposits can be mechanically broken up by puncturing them repeatedly with a needle and then aspirating the calcific material with the help of a sluice of saline. About 75% of patients are helped by this procedure. Ultrasound can be used to help localize the deposit and to visualize the needle entering the deposit in real time.
These may be useful when the shoulder is acutely inflamed but otherwise are not generally useful except for the temporary relief of pain.
In a study by Yokoyama, et al., cimetidine was used for the treatment of chronic calcific tendinitis of the shoulder.[3] The small scale study took 16 individuals with calcific tendinitis in one shoulder, all of which had previously attempted other forms of therapy, including steroid injection and arthroscopic lavage. During the course of the study, 10 patients reported an elimination of pain and 9 displayed a complete disappearance of calcium deposits. With results being on a small scale, cimetidine, for the treatment of chronic calcific tendinitis of the shoulder, has been recommended to be opened to large scale clinical trials.
Removing the deposit/s either with open shoulder surgery or arthroscopic surgery are both difficult operations, but with high success rates (around 90%). About 10% require re-operation. If the deposit is large then frequently the patient will require a rotator cuff repair to fix the defect left in the tendon when the deposit is removed or to reattach the tendon to the bone if the deposit was at the tendon insertion into the bone.

Boeing's 737 plans are key to stock liftoff
Industry analysts say a production increase could send shares flying as high as $100.
By Ted Reed, TheStreet
Analysts are applauding Boeing's (BA) decision to increase 737 production and say that the aircraft maker's stock is poised for major upside.
Boeing said Wednesday that it will boost 737 production to 42 a month, up from the current pace of 31.5 a month. Boeing currently has a 737 order backlog of 2,101 and is sold out through 2015.
"Global demand for aircraft remains healthy and resilient given requirements to replace aging fleets, satisfy growth in emerging regions and add more fuel efficient aircraft to existing fleets," wrote Gleacher & Company analyst Peter Arment, in a report issued Thursday.
Boeing shares were trading up 0.5% to $74.25 Thursday afternoon. Arment has a buy on the shares and a $100 price target. "With major catalysts for the 787 and 747-8 programs upcoming during the next two months, coupled with more orders for the mature programs, we believe Boeing should continue to outperform as a well-positioned later cycle industrial stock," he wrote.
Meanwhile, RBC Capital Markets analyst Rob Stallard called the rate increase "a positive development for Boeing and the aerospace supply chain."
The ramp-up had been anticipated, Stallard said, but it came sooner than he expected, implying not only "continued robust airline demand for the plane, but also Boeing's ability to reassure suppliers that this is a realistic, achievable and sustainable rate increase."
Post continues after video:
The 737 is the most successful aircraft in history. In some ways, Boeing has for years been operating as two companies: Good Boeing -- represented by the 737 and the 777 -- which profitably supports Bad Boeing, represented by the delay-wracked development programs for the 787 and 747-800.
As the Paris Air Show approaches, with Boeing ready to trumpet near-term first deliveries of both of its delayed aircraft, it is possible that Boeing is about to enter a golden age marked by the capability to deliver ever-increasing numbers of all four aircraft.
That Boeing, if it ever came to be, could easily be worth $100 a share.

Murrow Awards by the RTNDA. She joined the teaching staff at the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism as a part-time adjunct professor in 2012.
1. What do you like about covering breaking news and what are the challenges? The adrenaline rush. Whether I'm covering a natural disaster or a parade, I find it exhilarating to be the audiences' eyes and ears on the scene. It's a responsibility I don't take lightly. However, live reporting definitely has its challenges. In a fluid situation you don't have all the answers. A lot of speculation and rumor can be thrown your way from a variety of sources. With the immediacy and pervasiveness of social media, it seems like there's more pressure than ever to get the story first. CBS Evening News Anchor Scott Pelly was recently talking about the rash of mistakes many major news organizations have made, particularly during the Boston bombing coverage. He said something like, if you're first, no one will remember. If you're wrong, no one will forget. It's not always a perfect system, but I usually write down what has been confirmed at the scene on my note pad in bullet points. Once the anchor introduces the story, I usually begin by painting a picture of what I see with words and then get right to the facts.
2. What are some pitching tips for freelance radio reporters? Tip #1: It's important to understand the news organization or program to which you want to pitch stories. If it's a specific program like This American Life, I know they get inundated with quirky stories on topics like finding the meaning of life. (Yes. This information has been verified by one of their producers.) I suggest combing through their archives to see if your story idea offers anything new that might catch their attention. Tip #2: If you're interested in selling stories to a particular program or news organization, follow their reporters, producers and writers on social media. They'll sometimes give a shout out when they're looking for something specific. The information they share might also shed light on stories they're already working on.
3. What lessons do you carry over from your acting career into broadcast journalism? Ah, my days as an Annie orphan have been exposed. I actually learned a lot during my years as a kid in show business. Having to juggle school and some sort of social life in conjunction with travel and rehearsals taught me to compartmentalize my responsibilities. I think the experience gave me the tools to juggle covering several stories, producing and editing them under deadline and planning ahead for the next day. It also taught me how to survive in a competitive environment and be a professional. Like show business, there are no guarantees in the news industry when it comes to job security or having control over the final product. There are days when I might feel burned out or angered by a particular story. But when it comes to being a journalist, my opinion is irrelevant. It's my job to tell a fair story and give it the attention it deserves.
4. What was the hardest assignment you've had and how did you work through it? I did a story about a decorated Muslim Marine Sergeant who was abused by members of the US military because of his religion. While he was cleared of the charges brought against him, he developed Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in the process. He lost his wife, some of his friends and became obsessed with suing the government. In order to tell his story, I had to gain his trust. It was the first time I worked that closely with someone who suffered from PTSD. It took me a year to sort through hundreds of pages of his paperwork, file FOIA requests and convince his ex-wife to sit down for an interview. At times, I would lose contact with him for weeks because he would shut down emotionally. When asked why he wasn't returning my phone calls or emails, he told me it was for my protection because the government was monitoring our communication. However, the end result was incredibly satisfying. After listening to the story, he was pleased with it. He reconnected with some of the people in the story who he hadn't spoken to in years. There's a veteran's organization in northern New Jersey I later suggested he contact for assistance. Its organizer told me the Marine said he became tired of telling his story himself, so he played my report instead.
5. What do you wish you knew when you started out in journalism? The industry has changed so much since I first started. I remember one of my biggest challenges starting out was dealing with a slow dial-up Internet connection. Of course, I wish I knew about the peaks and valleys journalism would face and the creation of social media. But I try not to dwell on the past. It's a fruitless endeavor. What I tell people starting out in this industry is to focus on good storytelling and trust their instincts. That was good advice handed down to me from a mentor. I think it still holds true.

PHILADELPHIA -- Michael Vick took a pay cut and had to compete for his job when he returned to the Eagles.
Part of the choice had to do with the up-tempo offence mapped out by new coach Chip Kelly.
"I just thought," Vick said, "this was the best opportunity, the best fit for me."
Turns out, Vick was the best fit for Kelly.
With his first chance to put his stamp on Philadelphia's offence, Kelly named Vick the starting quarterback on Tuesday, giving the veteran the nod over Nick Foles after a sterling effort in the preseason.
"He's our starter for the season," Kelly said. "It's not a one-game trial basis."
There wasn't a lot of suspense with Kelly's decision, which was announced after practice on Tuesday, and after the coach met with both players. About the only surprise was the timing -- Kelly had hinted he might not name a starter until closer to the opener. But Kelly, in his first season after coaching at Oregon, ended the mystery and will have Vick taking the snaps when Philadelphia opens the regular season at Washington Sept. 9.
"I'm not surprised at all," Vick said. "I told him, 'Thank you, I appreciate it and I won't let you down."'
Vick has been solid in two preseason games, and Foles, in his second season with the Eagles, has struggled to grasp Kelly's multifaceted offence. Vick has thrown for 199 yards this preseason and will take a 113.2 quarterback rating into Friday's game at Jacksonville (0-2).
Foles has been sacked six times in two games, and has a quarterback rating of 65.5, after showing flashes as a rookie last season while Vick was injured. Vick played in just 10 games last season, while Foles topped 340 yards twice as a rookie.
The Eagles (1-1) are coming off a 4-12 season, coach Andy's Reid's last, and haven't made the playoffs since they won the NFC East at the end of the 2010 season.
"We had a good amount of tape, a good amount of us seeing them on the field," Kelly said. "And seeing them in a lot of different situations, and wanted to put a guy in place, if we could, in enough time to get us to prepare the season."
Kelly has only shown flashes of his up-tempo offence in the first two preseason games and defences already seem tired and confused while the Eagles are moving the ball with ease. The first-team offence led by Vick and Foles has four touchdowns on eight-plus possessions in two games. One drive ended with an end-zone interception and two others ended with fumbles.
Behind Foles will be Matt Barkley, a rookie from Southern Cal.
"The competitor in me, you always want to be the one on the field playing," Barkley said. "At the same time, I love Mike. We've gone about it the right way. We've kept our great friendship and we've pushed each other. I'm proud of him. I'm going to do anything I can to help him become the best quarterback possible.
"I'm excited for him. Nothing changes in my preparation. I'm going to prepare the same way."
Vick had a breakout year under Reid in 2010, leading the Eagles to the division title, winning The Associated Press Comeback Player of the Year award and starting in the Pro Bowl. But he's battled injuries and inconsistency the last two years.
Now 33, Vick sustained a concussion in Week 10 last year and Reid decided to let Foles play the rest of the way because the Eagles were in last place. Vick returned to start the season finale against the New York Giants because Foles was hurt. He finished the year with 2,362 yards passing, 12 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He lost five fumbles.
"I think Mike is ahead right now. I think Nick made it very difficult," Kelly said. "It wasn't where one guy went north and the other guy went south. I think both of them upped their games.
"But at this point in time Mike's ahead."
The four-time Pro Bowl quarterback agreed in February to a restructured three-year contract with the Eagles, just two seasons after signing a $100 million extension that included $35.5 million in guaranteed money. The new deal is essentially for one year, however.
Vick could earn up to $10 million in 2013 if he meets all performance incentives. He was slated to earn about $16 million this season, including a $3 million roster bonus.
Vick has missed 11 games because of injuries over the last three seasons.
A former No. 1 overall pick by Atlanta, Vick was signed by Philadelphia in 2009 after missing two years because he was in federal prison for his role in a dogfighting ring. He came in as the No. 3 quarterback behind Donovan McNabb and Kevin Kolb.
After McNabb was traded and Kolb was injured in the season opener in 2010, Vick took over and was outstanding. He had career highs in yards passing (3,018), completion percentage (62.6), touchdowns passing (21), touchdowns rushing (9) and passer rating (100.2).
He might not hit those numbers again -- even if Vick believes he's still capable of playing like his old self.
"It don't stop here. This is just Day 1," he said. "I've still got to prove myself."

Do right and wrong exist?
I'm curious about objective right and wrong. If you believe in God, this is a no-brainer. Some things are wrong, some things are right, simply because God says so and He knows. But if you don't believe in God, can you still believe in objective morality? I personally don't think you can. I mean, what do you base it off of? How do you find out what's objectively right or wrong? (By objective I mean "existing independent of thought or an observer as part of reality." from dictionary.com)
Sure, there's subjective morality. Any idea of right or wrong come up with by a human is by definition subjective. That's all well and good. Problem is that it only applies to people who believe in it and it gives them no authority to proclaim anything as "what we should be doing." Very often everybody disagrees with each other and we don't get anywhere. (Just look at Congress for an example of this.)
Maybe you disagree with me and you think there is objective morality but no God. That's fine. I would like to ask you to answer a question for me though. Let's pick an easy one. Why is rape objectively wrong? Don't misunderstand me, I can't think of a single instance where rape wouldn't be wrong. I believe very strongly that sexual abuse is one of the greatest evils in the world. Why is it evil? If you can answer me without using a God-based or subjective argument, I'll concede the point.
That point is this: Without God, there is no such thing as right and wrong, only the things we call right and wrong. And since nobody can agree on what to call what, we're all in a lot of trouble.

Louise KyteMar 4 2013: Although I realize you most probably meant your question to be rhetorical, I will attempt to answer it (call me crazy). Feelings most definitely turn into thought. Thought helps us to organize our feelings. (Is this a question in your homework tonight?) And thoughts can & often do produce feelings. After all, we are not robots, But, if any robots are reading this, can you please come over right away? My Roomba seems to have lost its sense of direction.
Louise KyteMar 4 2013: Probably feelings. We see,hear,smell,taste or feel something, like maybe we feel the elevator has started to move, and we think, "Finally." So, we use the word "finally" to refer to our feeling of relief that we physically discerned movement we were impatient for. We were first feeling that it was taking longer than we hoped it would to move. There is a succession of feelings here. Hope that it will start to move soon. Impatience that it hasn't, and relief when it finally does, all of which can be expressed with one thought, "finally",a thought that we can share with others experiencing the same thing in the same way perhaps. They may validate what we've just said with a chuckle or choose to ignore it.
Mar 4 2013: I am thinking that, right and wrong exists and doesn't exist. They don't exist naturally, but it does exist from the evolution of expressing feelings and understanding each other more to the point that we know that there are rights and wrongs, but religion simply has aggregated all this knowledge into books. Though more or less those religious books' are but another opinion that people should consider, but not rule out others opinions as well. That is just how it seems to equate to.
Mar 4 2013: I should add that something I view is right is something that is consensual and those consensual individuals' should be responsible for their agreement, but something that isn't consensual should be wrong, if one party acts without the consensus factor. Though I think people should have the right to learn from their wrongs, which they have taken or will take responsibility for, even if that issue is not documented or is documented. I think right and wrong should be established through dialogue between parties and taboos should be suspended in this dialogue, and, I feel, that then there will be more understanding of individuals' beliefs of right and wrong and they should be tolerated, until it is not consensual when the ideas become actions.
Thanks for hearing me out Louise. =)
Mar 4 2013: To answer the original question about feelings, is booth. A feeling can invoke thought and thought can invoke a feeling. However feelings are just chemical reactions to reinforce and alert an individual. In example when you hurt yourself your brain signals "you" to that what is going on right now is dangerous. When you feel good having intercourse your brain initiate the release of good feelings, reinforcing you (rewarding you) that what you are doing is good. Reproduction is one of the most important activities a living creature could do. To go further, if you observe yourself, isn't it better to give than to receive a gift. It has been found by scientist that most people like it better when they give a gift or help someone than to receive. But why do we feel good when we give? Hypothetically, when our ancestors had to survive every single day, giving ensured cohesion and heightened the chance that when an individual needed help, food or needed a stone tip axe, than someone from the group will help him. So giving is reinforced with a stronger feeling of joy then the receiving one. When we evolved into conscious beings thoughts and accessing memory become possible. So merely thinking about getting hurt or having intercourse can initiate a feeling associated with it. Just as getting hurt and feeling the pain can bring up a memory about the last time you got hurt. This is a crucial part of our success as an animal. By doing this we can plan ahead and teach ourselves to be more careful and not to get hurt next time.

Dyed All Hues 30+Mar 5 2013: Hi Orlando,
When I think about how information enters our lives, then I think of chemicals, neurons, sensory neurons, and the brain. Information enters our mind through the senses, which I believe the fives senses main function is. Our reasoning for right and wrong comes from how our external affects our internal, like when someone pricks their finger on something sharp and feels pain from it and hopes it doesn't happen again by being more careful around sharp objects. Subjectively, you are correct that things are processed in the mind, but does a 6 month year old child process information through "thoughts" in words or "feelings" (which the word feelings may or may not be in their baby vocabulary)?
When I think of "thoughts", then I think of self aware individuals with an adequate range of vocabulary at their disposal in one of the homo sapien languages, so feelings come before thoughts on that line reasoning for me.
I am curious how do animals or just born children process information without words, then I lead to the idea that it is through "feelings", which they will react through an external or internal evolution. Like hunger makes babies stomach begin to digest itself, which then sends signals in the mind to move muscles in the stomach, which leads to a baby crying from the sensation of hunger.
Mar 5 2013: Hi Derek,
Thanks for clarifying your point and I totally agree with everything you said (I like your analogy of the 6 month old child, that was an excellent point).
What you said about the relationship between the internal and external is spot on. It appears that much of what we take to be subjectivity is highly dependent upon the development of our brain and other sensory organs. I've never considered this position before when considering the relationship between our neurophysiology and consciousness (experience).
But i think your correct. It is remarkable how babies, though they may not be aware, are biologically programmed to cry and express themselves when they need to be fed, changed, etc..
I read you earlier comments regarding feelings and its relationship to morality. the philosopher David Hume believes that at its core, all morality is, is relating how we feel in a given moment.

Sennheiser's exquisite HD 800s sound more like listening to full-size speakers than any other headphones we've heard to date.
The RS130s are Sennheiser's best wireless headphones to date.
These extremely lightweight wireless headphones are easy on the ears but sound a little too mellow for our taste.
Pricing not available
The HD555s' speakerlike sound is the hot ticket for DVD thrill seekers.
The Sennheiser Momentum On-Ear may not fully match the larger Momentum's excellent sonics, but it gets you 80 percent of the way there.
The Sennheiser Momentum headphones may not have enough bass to satisfy every taste, but they are in every other way the best-sounding full-size audiophile headphones we've heard in a long time.
Sennheiser's HD 700 isn't just one of the best-sounding headphone models we've tested, it's also remarkably comfortable to wear for hours at a time.
The RS 170 continues Sennheiser's unchanging dedication to sonic clarity and they're well worth the price for anyone looking to grab wireless sound from a TV, AV receiver, cable box, or game console.
The Sennheiser RS 180's sound is competitive with similarly priced wired headphones, which should make the RS 180 irresistible to audiophiles seeking to cut the cord.
The Sennheiser RS 220 is one of the best-sounding wireless headphones on the market, but its super sonics don't offset its ambitious price tag when other models in the same line offer similar performance for less.
